China says Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang 'graduated'
People held in camps in China's Xinjiang region have now "graduated" and new trainees will have the freedom to come and go, the regional governor says.
Governor Shohrat Zakir has also hit out at Western criticism of the camps and says the United States has launched a smear campaign against Xinjiang.

China's Muslim camps a 'mass brainwashing scheme', leaked documents show
The United Nations and human rights groups estimate that between one million and two million people, mostly ethnic Uighur Muslims, have been detained in harsh conditions as part of what Beijing calls an anti-terrorism campaign.
China has repeatedly denied any mistreatment of Uighurs and says the camps provide vocational training. It describes the detainees as students.
"At present the trainees who have participated ... have all graduated," Zakir told a news conference in Beijing on Monday (local time)..
"With the help of the government, stable employment has been achieved and their quality of life has been improved."
Xinjiang will continue with training based on "independent will" and "the freedom to come and go", he said.
China has not provided any official figures on how many people have been held in the camps but Zakhir said foreign estimates were "pure fabrication". He gave no details.
He also called a measure passed by the US House of Representatives that condemned China's treatment of the Uighur minority a severe violation of international law and a gross interference in China's internal affairs.
"The US is getting restless and has launched a smear campaign against Xinjiang," Zakir said.
"But no force can stop Xinjiang's progress toward stability and development."
Claims about the camps are hard to verify as China only allows periodic supervised visits and gives little information on their operations.
In July, a Xinjiang official said most people had returned to society from the camps. Asked on Monday how many people had completed the training, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said she could not give an exact number.
"Because the number of people participating in these training centres is dynamic, there's coming and going, so it's very difficult to give an exact number," Hua told reporters at a separate briefing.
Human rights groups and former detainees have said conditions in the camps are poor, with inmates subject to psychological and physical abuse.
At Zakir's news conference, images of past violence were displayed in excerpts from an English-language documentary, Fighting Terrorism in Xinjiang, aired on state broadcaster CGTN last week.
Hua expressed disappointment at the lack of foreign media coverage of the documentary despite the intense concern over the Xinjiang issue.
She said there had been no terrorist attack in Xinjiang in the past three years due to the success of the camps.

If you are writing an application or game that allows starting with special parameters on the command line, you can use this command to retrieve the parameters.
For example, you might want to start the program with a debug variable set so you can track stuff during execution. So, you could offer the ability to run the executatble with a /debug parameter. If they execute the program with the parameter, then you can set a flag inside your game. To simulate the command line passing in the editor, select PROGRAM->PROGRAM COMMAND LINE from the pulldowns and enter a value to be passed at runtime. See the example. |

; CommandLine$() Example
; Be sure to use PROGRAM->PROGRAM COMMAND LINE from the ; pull down and put /debug in there to test with. a$=CommandLine$() If a$="/debug" Then Print "Debug mode is on!" debug=1 Else Print "No debugging activated." debug=0 End If |

Most Cubs fans are familiar with the term: ex-Cubs Factor. The ex-Cubs Factor is the theory developed in 1981 by Ron Berler that any team with three or more ex-Cubs is doomed for failure heading into a World Series. The 2001 Diamondbacks broke the "curse" and in 2008, both the Phillies and Rays entered the World Series with three ex-Cubs.
I define the ex-Cubs Factor differently. To me, the ex-Cubs Factor is the idea that players seem to succeed after they leave the Cubs. I have no stats to back this and when I tried to think of examples of post-Cubs success, I decided that it isn't so much that the players have more success after leaving the Cubs, it's just that they seem to be the players that step up in games against the Cubs. But for the sake of discussion here, let's define The ex-Cubs Factor as a player succeeding after leaving the Cubs.
A Cubs fan couldn't look at the Spring Training games recaps from around MLB without feeling a quick little stab of the ex-Cubs Factor in their stomachs. A name that will go down in history as one of the biggest failures in franchise history made his first real step towards a comeback.
Mark Prior was picked up by the Yankees in the off-season and appeared in his first MLB game (we'll count it, even though it's exhibition) since 2006. He has been re-united with Larry Rothschild. Prior showed nothing but potential in 2003. The future looked amazingly bright for both the 22 year old Prior and the Cubs. In 2003, Prior went 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA. Then, the injury bug struck and Prior was may never be the same.
So you're thinking "Mark Prior sneaked into a Spring Training game, big deal", right? Sure...but let me read his pitching line for you today. He pitched one full inning without giving up a run or hit. He registered a strikeout. Prior threw 5 pitches - 5 strikes.
Is the ex-Cubs dagger a little deeper? It probably shouldn't be. I don't expect Prior to mount some great comeback. His pitches barely hit 90mph and he will never start. In fact, the deal he signed is a minor league contract. He will have to go to AAA to show that he can pitch well and stay healthy. So don't get too worried, Cubs fans. Don't get all excited and put a Wood vs. Prior match-up at Wrigley Field in June when the Yankees come to town.
Today was just a blip in the current career of Mark Prior. But it's the pessimism in us as Cubs fans that allows our stomachs not not just accept the ex-Cubs dagger, but maybe even pull it in a little deeper.


Otis hoped to see crabs and toads in their own habitat. He asked Dad to go on a trip to Lake Hope and Stone Bay. Otis and Dad drove on a slow, winding road to Lake Hope. They rented a row boat to go over the lake and into the bay. They rowed to the bay and floated in the still water. Otis spotted a toad by the side of the boat. Dad put his finger to his lips. "Keep your voice low, Otis. This is the toad's home," Dad whispered. Otis nodded. They sat and watched the toad. It began to croak. The wind started to blow, and the boat rose and dove in the waves. As Otis and Dad rowed back, Otis spotted a big crab by the coast. It made his day!
in-context


Slogan is a general-purpose programming language with support for first-class functions, lexical scoping, multi-tasking, lazy evaluation and high-level control flow abstractions. It is designed to be easy to learn, fun to use and powerful enough to write real-world applications.
Slogan programs are made up of keywords, variables, constant data, whitespace, and comments.
Keywords, variables, and symbols are collectively called identifiers. Identifiers may be formed from letters, digits and these special
characters: _, $, %, and @. Some characters are reserved by the language for special purposes, mostly to be used as operators.
The characters that cannot normally be used in identifiers are: +
, -
,
/
, *
, <
, '
,
>
, =
, \
, #
, .
, (
, )
,
{
, }
, [
, ]
, ,
, :
, ;
&
, ?
and |
.
Identifiers are case-sensitive. For example, abcd
, Abcd
and ABcD
all refer to different identifiers.
There is no inherent limit to the length of identifiers.
A number of identifiers are reserved by Slogan for syntactic definition. These are known as reserved words or keywords. They cannot
be used as names for variables. The reserved words in Slogan are: case
, catch
, declare
,
else
, false
, finally
, ^
, function
,
if
, and
, or
, let
, letrec
, letseq
,
match
, module
, record
, true
, break
, continue
,
try
, trycc
, where
, when
, yield
, for
and assert
.
Constant data refers to values that has a literal expression in the language. These values are one of the following types: boolean, number, character, string, array, list, symbol and function.
Boolean values are represented by the identifiers true
and false
. Numbers may be written as integers, e.g., -123,
as ratios, e.g., 1/2, in floating-point or scientific notation, e.g., 1.3 or 1e23. Numbers is different bases can be written with a radix prefix.
For example, a hexadecimal number is written as 0xFF
, an octal number as 0o76
and a binary number as
0b0011
. Case is not important in the syntax of a number. Strings are enclosed in double quotation marks, for e.g.,
"hello, world"
. Characters are prefixed by the backslash - e.g. \a
. Special characters are spelt out using their
full names - \newline
, \space
, \tab
, \return
, \backspace
, \alarm
,
\vtab
, \esc
, \delete
and \nul.
Symbols are names prefixed by the '
(quote) operator.
A list literal consists of comma-separated values enclosed in brackets: ["this", "is", "a", "list"]
. An array is similar to a list
but the opening bracket is prefixed by the hash sign: #["this", "is", "an", "array"]
.
Functions are introduced by the function
or ^
keywords. For e.g., here is a function literal that
takes a number as argument and return its square: ^(x) x * x
.
Keywords, variables and constant data combine to make up Slogan expressions and statements. An expression or a statement can span multiple
lines and must be terminated by a semi-colon (;
). An expression always result in a value.
Comments explaining a particular expression can be placed in the program. Single line comments starts with a //
and
multi-line comments are enclosed in /*
and */
.
Slogan comes with a simple interactive programming environment that eases program development and experimentation. This is known as the read-evaluate-print-loop or the REPL because it reads each expression you type at the keyboard, evaluate it, and prints its value .
With the REPL, you can type an expression at the keyboard and see its value immediately. You can type in functions or even an entire program
consisting of a set of function definitions and test them without leaving the system. But it is more convenient to type longer
programs into a text file, load it into the REPL and test it interactively. A file is loaded with the function load
,
which is passed the name of the file as a string. By preparing your program in a file you have the chance to correct errors without
retyping the program, and you can retain a copy for later use.
The examples in this document follow a regular format. An expression you might type from your keyboard is given first.
The value of the expression is given after //=>
, to be read as "evaluates to."
Output produced as the result of a side-effect is identified by //->
. Let us see two examples.
The first is an expression that evaluates to the value 7
and the next is a statement that prints the string
"hello, world!"
as a side-effect:
3 + 4;
//=> 7
showln("hello, world!");
//-> hello, world!
Expressions may span more than one line. The Slogan interpreter know it has a complete expression to evaluate when it sees a semicolon (;
).
Let's define a function that spans multiple lines:
function reciprocal(n)
if (n == 0) "oops!"
else 1 / n;
If you type this at the REPL, you will notice that the prompt will change from "slogan>
" to ">
" for each new line in the expression. The prompt will return to "slogan>
" once the entire expression in entered.
The function we just defined, reciprocal
, computes the quantity 1/n
for any number n =/ 0
.
For n == 0
, reciprocal
returns the string "oops!"
.
reciprocal(10);
//=> 1/10
reciprocal(1/10);
//=> 10
reciprocal(0);
//=> "oops!"
(Semicolons are required for terminating expressions in the REPL. Otherwise, you may choose to use semicolons only for separating multiple expressions on the same line.)
Let's turn to a discussion of how Slogan evaluates the expressions you type. The rule for evaluating constant objects such as strings
and numbers is simple: the object itself is the value. For example, if you type the string "hello, world"
at the REPL, the
string is printed back to you. What are the rules for evaluating a function call of the form f(arg1, ..., argn)
?.
Here, f
is an expression representing a Slogan function, and arg1, ..., argn
are expressions representing
its arguments. The rules for finding the value of this expression is:
f
.arg1
... argn
.f
to the values of arg1
... argn
.
For example, consider the function call reciprocal(10)
. The value of reciprocal
is the reciprocal function we
defined. The value of 10
is the number 10
. Applying the reciprocal function to 10
yields
1/10
, so our value is the object 1/10
.
Suppose you want to assign a name to a value that you use in expressions. For example, we might like the name x
to have the value
2
when we evaluate 3 + x
. Such names or identifiers bound to a value is known as a variable. We can use
a let
expression to bind identifiers to values:
let (x = 2) 3 + x;
//=> 5
let (y = 3) 2 + y;
//=> 5
let (x = 2, y = 3) x + y;
//=> 5
The let
expression includes a list of variable assignments, followed by an expression known as the body.
The general form of a let
expression is
syntax: let (var = expr, ...) body
We refer to variables bound by let
as let-bound variables. The variables bound by let
are visible
only within the body of the let
.
It is possible to nest let
expressions:
let (a = 4, b = -3)
let (a_squared = a * a, b_squared = b * b)
a_squared + b_squared;
//=> 25
When nested let
expressions bind the same variable, only the binding created by the inner let
is
visible within its body:
let (x = 1)
let (x = x + 1)
x + x;
//=> 4
The inner binding for x
is said to shadow the outer binding. A let-bound variable is visible everywhere within
the body of its let
expression except where it is shadowed. The region where a variable binding is visible is
called its scope. The scope of the first x
is the body of the outer let
expression minus the body
of the inner let
expression, where it is shadowed by the second x
. This form of scoping is referred to as
lexical scoping, since the scope of each binding can be determined by a straightforward textual analysis of the program.
Shadowing may be avoided by choosing different names for variables. Although choosing different names can sometimes prevent confusion,
it can help prevent the accidental use of an "old" value. For example, in the previous example, it would be impossible for us to mistakenly
refer to the outer x
within the body of the inner let
.
A letseq
expression is similar to let
except that the expressions expr, ...
are evaluated in
sequence from left to right, and each of these expressions is within the scope of the variables to the left. Use letseq
when there is a linear dependency among the values or when the order of evaluation is important.
letseq (x = 5 * 5, y = x - 4 * 4) sqrt(y);
//=> 3
letseq
can destructure lists, arrays and hashtables.
function f() [1, 2, 3]
function g() #{'a:1, 'b:2}
letseq ([a, b, c] = f()) a + b + c
// => 6
letseq (#{'a:x, 'b:y} = g()) [x,y]
// => [1, 2]
// Values that are not required can be ommitted by using the `_` placeholder:
letseq ([a, _, c] = f()) a + c
// => 4
Variables generally have static scope. They can also have dynamic scope with task specific bindings.
Dynamic bindings are established by the letdyn
expression. Dynamic variables must also follow a certain naming
convention - they should begin and end with the percentage character (%). The following program shows a function that changes its output based
on the dynamic binding of the variable %abc%
:
let %abc% = 20
function df() %abc% * 100
df()
//=> 2000
letdyn (%abc% = 5) df()
//=> 500
df()
//=> 2000
The general form of a function expression is
function (var, ...) body
or
^(var, ...) body
The variables var, ...
are the formal parameters of the function, and the expression body
is its body. A function
is an object just like a number or a string but it does not have a meaningful printed representation. The REPL will print
<function>
for all function objects.
The most common operation to perform on a function is to apply it to one or more values:
(function (x) x + x) (3 * 4);
//=> 24
The function object is the value of the expression function (x) x + x
, and its argument is the value of 3 * 4
, or 12
.
The argument values, or actual parameters, are bound to the formal parameters within the body of the function expression in the same way
as let-bound variables are bound to their values. In this case, x
is bound to 12
, and the value of
x + x
is 24
. Thus, the result of applying the function to the value 12
is 24
.
A more concise way to write down function objects is shown below:
(^(x) x + x) (3 * 4);
//=> 24
The function expression allows the omission of the parameter list for functions that take no arguments:
(^() "ok")();
//=> "ok"
(^"ok")();
//=> "ok"
Because functions are objects, we can establish a function as the value of a variable and use the function more than once.
Here, we bind the identifier double
to a function and use this function to double three different values:
let (double = ^(x) x + x)
[double(3 * 4),
double(99 / 11),
double(2 - 7)];
//=> [24, 18, -10]
An if
expression allows us to evaluate expressions conditionally. The if
expression has the following form:
syntax: if (test) consequent else alternative
The consequent
expression is evaluated if test
is true
and the alternative
expression is evaluated if test
is false
. (All objects except the symbol false
is
considered to be true
). The alternative
expression is optional. If test
is false
and alternative
is not provided, if
will evaluate to false
.
The when
expression is similar to if
without the alternative part:
syntax: when (test) consequent
The comparison operators ==
(equals), <>
(not equals), <
(less-than), >
(greater-than), <=
(less-than or equals) and >=
(greater-than or equals) are used for
comparing numbers. They return true
if the comparison succeeds and return false
otherwise. The function not
is used to reverse a boolean value.
if (10 > 20) "no";
//=> false
if (10 > 20) "no" else "yes";
//=> "yes"
if (not(10 > 20)) "no" else "yes";
//=> "no"
when (not(10 > 20)) "no";
//=> "no"
when (10 > 20) "yes";
//=> false
The logical operators &&
(and
) and ||
(or
) are typically used with
boolean values. When they are, they return a boolean value. They can also return non-boolean values.
true && false;
//=> false
true && true;
//=> true
true || false;
//=> true
false || false;
//=> false
false || 10;
//=> 10
1 && "hi";
//=> "hi"
The keywords and
and or
can be used in place of the logical operators. Their syntax is similar to functions
that take an arbitrary number of arguments:
and(true, 90, 80, 100);
//=> 100
and(true, 90, 80, false, 100);
//=> false
or(true, 90, 80, false, 100);
//=> 100
Top-level variable bindings that are visible to all expressions that follow it are introduced by the let
statement, which has the form:
syntax: let var = expr;
syntax: let var1, var2, ...varN = expr1, expr2, ...exprN;
where the identifier var
is bound to the value of the expression expr
.
let x = 10;
let y = 20;
x + y;
//=> 30
let square = ^(x) x * x;
square(10);
//=> 100
The let
statement, like letseq
, can destructure lists, arrays and hashtables.
There is a shorter syntax for defining top-level functions. The following definition of square
is the same as the previous one:
function square(x) x * x;
Let
statements can also appear within a let
or function
expression, at the top of its body.
These definitions will not be visible outside the body. As the let
or function
body is a single expression,
we will have to group the definitions and the body into a single expression by using a code block. A code block is a
sequence of statements and expressions enclosed in {
and }
. The value of a code block is the value of
its last expression. In the following program the top-level f
is shadowed by an internal definition
introduced by the body of the let
expression:
function f(x) x * x;
let (y = 3)
{ let f = ^(x) y + x;
f(4) };
//=> 7
f(4);
//=> 16
A code block is valid anywhere another expression is valid. The following program show two functions defined internally to a code block in the top-level. (This is an example of mutual recursion which we will study in more detail in the next chapter.)
{ function is_even(x) or(x == 0, is_odd(x - 1));
function is_odd(x) and(not(x == 0), is_even(x - 1));
[is_even(20), is_odd(20)] };
//=> [true, false]
Although many programs can be written without them, assignments to top-level variables or let-bound and function-bound variables
are sometimes useful. Assignments do not create new bindings, as with let
or function
, but rather change
the values of existing bindings. Assignments are performed with the assignment (=
) operator.
let a = 100;
a * 10;
//=> 1000
a = 20;
a;
//=> 20
a * 10;
//=> 200
The arithmetic, comparison and logical operators are internally mapped to functions. The function object associated with an operator can be accessed by backquoting the operator:
`+`(1, 2, 3);
//=> 6
`&&`(`<`(1, 2), `>=`(10, 10));
//=> true
Backquoting can also be used to create identifiers with reserved characters and whitespaces:
let `two + two` = 2 + 2;
`two + two` * 100;
//=> 400
The comma operator (,
) is used to separate values in a sequence, both visually and semantically.
Commas in the printed output can be toggled on/off by calling the show_comma_separator
function:
show_comma_separator(false);
['this, 'is, 'a, 'list, 'of, 'seven, 'symbols];
//=> [this is a list of seven symbols]

embed
The EMBED utility is used to preprocess snobol code that requires inline data, or that contains embedded C or FORTRAN code. It may also have utility as a CGI (WEB) tool.
Adds some control cards to SNOBOL4. These are handled by EMBED, and are not passed through. All other control cards are simply copied through:
| -SNOBOL SNOBOL_CODE | -EMBED C|FORTRAN|COBOL|SCHEME|DATA|FILE 'VNAME' | -END | -SNOBOLX SNOBOL_CODE | -CMNT COMMENT
EMBED copies its source file, until it sees one of its controls. -SNOBOL immediately executes its code (use + at the end of lines to continue them). -SNOBOLX is the same, but also copies its code to the output (allowing consistent definitions at both times). -EMBED to -END is extracted and copied into a file, whose name is made available to the program as VNAME.
See P64.lss for an example. P64.lss is processed by stangle into P64.SNO, which is then processed by EMBED to produce p64.so, and P64.INC which is the associated INCLUDE file. EMBED extracts the embedded C code, generating wrappers using the WRAPPER function. and then runs the C compiler using the DYNAMIC function to compile and produce the shared object needed when the P64 library function is used.
In effect, the building of the code is controlled by the SNOBOL4 source itself, and the entire module is self contained. Neither WRAPPER nor DYNAMIC need be present at “run time” but are only used when the P64 module itself is updated.
I am sure that other uses for EMBED will occur to the reader. Embedding unit test cases; creation of run-time data files; implementation of domain specific languages and more. The idea of EMBED is to provide an approximate equivalent to LISP macros to SNOBOL4.
Note that SLOAD is included to allow the extension of embed driven by its using programs.

Kofi Bentil descends on government over rice importation
Vice President of policy think tank, IMANI Ghana, Kofi Bentil, has criticized government over the huge post-harvest losses incurred by rice farmers in the country.
Kofi Bentil’s outburst comes in the wake of complains by the Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana (PFAG) that the influx of foreign rice in the country has adversely affected the sale of their produce.
According to the group, the perennial post-harvest issues have served as a disincentive for the growing of rice in the country.
Obviously appalled by the situation, Mr Bentil took to social media to vent his spleen on government, insisting that the continuous importation of rice has largely contributed to the situation.
His post on Facebook read, “Ghana. The amazing nation where we can arrange to import rice from Vietnam but can’t bring it from the North. Where brilliant youth are unemployed, but we need brilliant youth in public.”
Despite the recent support for local rice, farmers are asking the government to get them a ready market for their produce.
Meanwhile, government has announced its intention to solicit with rice importers to invest in local manufacturers for both domestic consumption and export.
At a press briefing, the Minister for Food and Agriculture (MoFA), Owusu Afriyie Akoto, said rice importation will reduce drastically in about three years’ time as the government builds the capacity of local rice farmers.
He added, “At the moment, we are in communication with the 20 biggest importers of rice in this country. We have had three meetings with them and we are telling them that, time is going to come soon when they cannot do business and give rice farmers in Thailand, Vietnam and America an opportunity to overcome our own. Our farmers were asleep because of the lack of government’s support.
“Therefore, it means that if you want to import rice into this country, it means that you are taking away bread from the mouth Ghanaian farmers and giving it to those in Thailand. What we are now saying is that, in two- or three-years’ time, we will work out on an agreement for them to buy from local millers.”

pydrake.solvers.mixed_integer_optimization_util.
AddLogarithmicSos1Constraint
(prog: pydrake.solvers.mathematicalprogram.MathematicalProgram, num_lambda: int) → Tuple[numpy.ndarray[object[m, 1]], numpy.ndarray[object[m, 1]]]¶ Adds the special ordered set of type 1 (SOS1) constraint. Namely
λ(0) + ... + λ(n-1) = 1 λ(i) ≥ 0 ∀i ∃ j ∈ {0, 1, ..., n-1}, s.t λ(j) = 1
where one and only one of λ(i) is 1, all other λ(j) are 0. We will need to add ⌈log₂(n)⌉ binary variables, where n is the number of rows in λ. For more information, please refer to Modeling Disjunctive Constraints with a Logarithmic Number of Binary Variables and Constraints by J. Vielma and G. Nemhauser, 2011.
- Parameter
prog
: - The program to which the SOS1 constraint is added.
- Parameter
num_lambda
: - n in the documentation above.
Returns: (lambda, y) lambda is λ in the documentation above. Notice that λ are declared as continuous variables, but they only admit binary solutions. y are binary variables of size ⌈log₂(n)⌉. When this sos1 constraint is satisfied, suppose that λ(i)=1 and λ(j)=0 ∀ j≠i, then y is the Reflected Gray code of i. For example, suppose n = 8, i = 5, then y is a vector of size ⌈log₂(n)⌉ = 3, and the value of y is (1, 1, 0) which equals to 5 according to reflected Gray code. - Parameter

- Parameter
prog
: - The optimization program to which the SOS2 constraint is added.
- Parameter
lambda
: - At most two entries in λ can be strictly positive, and these two entries have to be adjacent. All other entries are zero. Moreover, these two entries should sum up to 1.
- Parameter
y
: - y(i) takes binary value, and determines which two entries in λ can be strictly positive. Throw a runtime error if y.rows() != lambda.rows() - 1.

The first day of the Deepawali is called Dhanteras befalls on the Karthik month of the dark lunar fortnight. This time, the Dhanteras falls on 12 November 2020. The day heralds the oncoming of merriment in various sections of Hindu culture as the day graces the lives of the masses with affluence.
It is believed that on this day the discovery of the Amrit Kalash by the father of Ayurveda, God Dhanwantri by churning the sea took place on the Kartick month of Krishna Paksha for the benefit of mankind. Usually, people buy gold, silver and precious stones, ornaments, new clothes, and utensils on this day.
In the evening, children light crackers, and people also light some earthen lamps outside their homes. Also, people hold Lakshmi, Kuber, and Ganesh puja, as well as worship Yantra on this day to gain the benefits. If you too want to seek blessings from Goddess Lakshmi then this golden plated Meru Prushth Yantra or the Shree Yantra, which symbolizes Goddess Laxmi, can bring wealth and prosperity in your life.

April 12, 2015
I've just finished the first week of Phase 0 at Dev Bootcamp. The work so far has centered on setting up and becoming comfortable with the tools we'll use throughout the program: mainly Git, GitHub and the command line. It's time to take a breath, and get ready for what's to come. I know that DBC has an amazing curriculum, and that this is just the very beginning. After watching this video, I've come to realize that what sets DBC apart, and what will truly drive my learning in the coming months, is the culture that has developed at DBC.
At DBC you're expected to take ownership of your learning. This is not the place to simply pay your tuition, sit back and wait for it to happen. Dev Bootcamp provides the environment - the teachers, the curriculum, the colleagues, but I'm responsible for my own learning. In the video, Shereef likens this to being a chef in a kitchen: we're all in there working together to make something amazing happen. I might burn my hand on the stove or overcook something, but it's an active learning process, it's to be expected, and in the end I'll be a better cook - a better developer and colleague.
I'm sure at many points throughout this process I'll be tired and discouraged at the difficulty and pace of the program. There will be frustrations. I will need to remember that it's all part of the experience, maintain a growth mindset and keep moving forward. At the end of the program, I may have learned more or less than others in my cohort, but the true measure of success is how much I have applied myself to this opportunity and how open and empathetic I've been in the process.
The characteristics promoted by DBC serve as long-term assets for my professional and personal life. DBC places great value on soft skills like empathy, communication and self-awareness. The ability to relate to others, understand their perspective and communicate in a respectful way is key to success in all aspects of life.


My Go-to Green Smoothie
My secret to making sure that I never forget my greens
(awesome for pre-workout)
Detoxifying, immune building, omega-3 fatty acids, protein building, and fiberlicious.
Adding superfoods such as chia seeds and flax seeds bring your green smoothies to a whole new level of health. Don’t skip this step if you want a breakfast richer in protective nutrients.
so health…
GO GREEN OR GO HOME
Recipe
1-2 servings
1 ripe banana
1/3 cup blue berries
5 black berries or strawberries
2/3 cup of frozen mangoes
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp flax seed meal
1 inch cube of fresh ginger OR about 1 tbsp of grated ginger
2-3 handfuls of baby spinach (the greener the better!)
1 & ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup walnuts
1 scoop of vegan protein powder (optional)
How To:
he easiest way to make this smoothie is by simply using the best blender you have in the kitchen!
Make sure to off start with the baby spinach at the bottom first, then just throw everything else in the
blender. No need for ice causing any dilutions in this recipe since we already have the frozen mangos.
I love drinking this every morning so that my body is enriched with nutrients as soon as the day begins.
It’s definitely filling and can keep you full for a few hours until your next meal. It's also a great meal
or snack during anytime of the day or before/after workouts. Give it a try! You won’t even taste the greens.
Cheers to health and clear skin!

Emotional Intelligence
Sprint Three Cultural Blog | Tuesday 24th November, 2020
What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence (EI) or Emotional Quotient (EQ) is being aware of your own emotions and being able to identify and manage them. It is also about being aware of how those emotions affect those around you along with an awareness for how others are feeling.
The four attributes of emotional intelligence are:
- Self-management
- Self-awareness
- Social awareness
- Relationship management
How is it different to IQ?
Intelligence quotient (IQ) is a number to express a person's intelligence relative to their age. It is a measure of a person’s reasoning ability and how they use logic to answer a question or solve a problem. IQ can also be used to define an individual's knowledge and proficiency of a specific topic.
Why is emotional intelligence important?
EQ is important as it allows you to communicate effectively and work productively with others. It also also allows you to adapt to change and challenges when they arise more easily.


Victoria's Secret cancels annual fashion show after dwindling ratings and criticism
Parent company L Brands has said it’s time for the brand to “evolve”.
by Sean MurrayLINGERIE BRAND VICTORIA’S Secret is cancelling its annual fashion show, after recent poor television ratings and criticism of the show as sexist and outdated.
The show first started in 1995 and has featured the world’s top supermodels such as Heidi Klum and Miranda Kerr, drawing millions of viewers at its height.
However, the brand’s owners L Brands have said it’s time to “evolve” its marketing strategy in an earnings call with investors this week, BBC has reported.
“We’re figuring out how to advance the positioning of the brand and best communicate that to customers,” its chief financial officer Stuart Durgdoerfer.
L Brands has been hit with poor sales over the past few years, recording a net loss of $252 million in the last quarter.
The Victoria’s Secret brand has also faced criticism in recent years for the annual show, provoking ire in the US for its use of slender models at a time when rival lingerie brands are becoming increasingly diverse and promoting all shapes and sizes.
Its marketing director Ed Razek provoked uproar on social media last year for telling Vogue that there was no need for transgender or plus-size models in the annual fashion show.
“No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy. It’s a 42-minute entertainment special,” he said.
Heidi Zak, co-CEO of one such rival brand, ThirdLove, published an open letter in The New York Times saying she was “appalled” by Razek’s “demeaning comments.”
“You market to men, and sell a male fantasy to women,” she said.
“Women wear bras in real life as they go to work, breastfeed their children, play sports, care for ailing parents and serve their country,” she wrote.
“Haven’t we moved beyond outdated ideas of femininity and gender roles? It’s time to stop telling women what makes them sexy — let us decide.”
The company has also faced criticism for its billionaire founder Les Wexner’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Wexner has said he cut ties with the disgraced financier back in 2007.

New mom Shawn Johnson breaks down after video shows husband's collapse, ER visit
by Sonja Haller, USA TODAYNew parents Shawn Johnson and Andrew East had a scare only three weeks after they brought home new daughter Drew.
The couple, who have shared the highs and lows of their pregnancy and now family life on their video blog, "The East Fam," said Sunday that East was in his Nashville, Tennessee, home gym when he collapsed.
Mixed with video of Johnson holding the baby and East explaining he was tidying the gym in anticipation of his friends' arrival, is dramatic footage of East lifting a 185-pound weight and falling backwards.
"As soon as I put the bar on the rack I went from being fully conscious to … (snaps his fingers and the screen goes black to the sound of heartbeats). Nothing," he said with the video showing him prone on the floor. "And that began this one-hour period where I literally … I don't remember anything."

The former Washington Redskins player said he's never blacked out or lost memory. He said he was unconscious for "several minutes." His friends arrived, "saw a puddle of blood" and took him to the emergency room
"I was asleep upstairs and unaware of any of this," Johnson said.
East called her from the hospital at 6 a.m.
She called her parents to watch the baby and headed to the ER.
From bad to worse?
East, 28, got nine staples in his head from hitting the gym floor. But a nurse said a doctor would be in later to speak with him.
"I didn't like how she said it," Johnson said. "She told us it had something to do with the EKG. So, his heart; how his EKGs look irregular. They think it's his heart that caused him to pass out."
Doctors decided to keep him overnight for observation.
They eventually cleared East to come home after deciding what they saw in the EKG "was not as concerning as they initially thought," East said.
'I got little Drew'
"So I called Shawn and let her know I would be coming home," East recalled, saying he heard his wife "cry and really sob like I hadn't heard you sob before."
"I was terrified," said the 27-year-old former Olympic gymnast.
While still in the hospital, East said he wrestled with what it meant to be a father.
"It was the first time I had to realize that my life is not just my own now," he said. "I got little Drew I need to be selfless for."
At home, East said that hearing his wife cry and watching the gym footage helped him to recognize that control is an illusion and that life can change fast.
"I realize that we have a daughter now who we are fully responsible for, who depends on us literally for her life," he said. "I have a wife now who would be fine with out me."
"Shut up," Johnson chimed in.
"I think it has given me this perspective of gratitude and submission and what are my priorities and how can I honor those priorities?"

FOUR ROOMS A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 4.2
United States, 1995 U.S. Availability: 12/25/95 (limited) Running Length: 1:26 MPAA Classification: R (Profanity, nudity, violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Producer: Lawrence Bender Music: Combustible Edison U.S. Distributor: Miramax Films
FOUR ROOMS, a four-segment anthology directed by independent film darlings Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino, has to be one of 1995's major disappointments. Perhaps it's the format itself -- twenty minutes isn't enough time to develop much in the way of characters or story. When Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Woody Allen tried a similar structure for their ill-fated 1989 offering of NEW YORK STORIES, "flop" was the most commonly heard description. More problematic than the format, however, is FOUR ROOMS' execution. Shoddy acting and direction typify three of the segments (Robert Rodriguez's being the exception). Even Tim Roth, one of the best actors of the '90s, has his weak moments.
FOUR ROOMS takes place on New Year's Eve at the Mon Signor Hotel, one of Los Angeles' most notorious dives. Ted the bellhop (Roth) has just joined the staff and is in for "a really bad night." Ted is the glue that holds the four stories together as he moves from room-to-room and problem-to-problem. Roth, with an accent that unaccountably fades from American to British, plays Ted like a cross between Jim Carrey and John Cleese.
"The Missing Ingredient"
Rating (0 to 10): 1.0
Cast: Tim Roth, Valeria Golino, Madonna, Ione Skye, Sammi Davis, Lili Taylor, Alicia Witt, Amanda De Cadenet Written and Directed by: Allison Anders Cinematography: Rodrigo Garcia
By far the most lame of FOUR ROOMS' stories, "The Missing Ingredient" lacks anything resembling intelligent dialogue, coherent plotting, or competent acting. This trite mess is easily the low point in the short career of writer/director Allison Anders, whose 1992 release, GAS FOOD LODGING, was a positive triumph. "The Missing Ingredient" plays like an R-rated episode of a bad TV sitcom, with profanity, bare breasts, and sex failing to liven things up.
The story -- what little there is -- revolves around a witches' coven trying to resurrect the spirit of a stripper. All the ingredients (mother's milk, virgin's blood, sweat of five men's thighs, and a year's tears) are ready except for a sperm sample. Since witch Eva (Ione Skye) failed in her assignment to bring this vital component of the mixture, she is charged with seducing Ted and getting what she needs from him.
"The Wrong Man"
Rating (0 to 10): 2.5
Cast: Tim Roth, Jennifer Beals, David Proval Written and Directed by: Alexandre Rockwell Cinematography: Phil Parmet
Unlike many reviewers, I wasn't a big fan of writer/director Alexandre Rockwell's debut feature, IN THE SOUP. While the film contained several instances of insightful comedy, the entire production seemed self-indulgent. It's doubtful, however, that even those who heaped effusive praise on IN THE SOUP will have many kind words for "The Wrong Man". This totally unfunny segment places Ted in between a man (David Proval) and his wife (Jennifer Beals) while they play S&M games. The episode isn't effectively comical, provocative, or titillating. Rockwell's confused script degenerates into dirty language with a cheap, predictable conclusion.
"The Wrong Man" is one of those stories that, because of a certain artistic pretentiousness, thinks it's a lot more humorous and clever than it actually is. Really, it's basically a pointless short that, following right after Anders' disastrous opening, dooms FOUR ROOMS to a forty-five minute start that's almost unendurable.
"The Misbehavers"
Rating (0 to 10): 7.1
Cast: Tim Roth, Antonio Banderas, Tamlyn Tomita, Marisa Tomei, Lana McKissack, Danny Veruzco Written and Directed by: Robert Rodriguez Cinematography: Guillermo Navarro
After struggling through an unwatchable first two episodes, FOUR ROOMS finally stumbles upon something worthwhile in its third.  However, for those with patience, "The Misbehavers" offers an oasis in an otherwise creatively barren land. Robert Rodriguez's contribution starts with Ted being induced by a $500 tip to baby-sit for the two small children of a gangster (Antonio Banderas) and his wife (Tamlyn Tomita). Of course, Murphy's Law rears its head, and just about everything that can go wrong, does.
Although a fair portion of the humor in "The Misbehavers" is of the crude variety, it's skillfully handled by film maker Rodriguez (EL MARIACHI), and, as a result, is occasionally sidesplittingly funny. The two child actors (newcomers Lana McKissack and Danny Veruzco) are apt performers, and Tim Roth does his best manic John Cleese imitation. There's also a riotous phone conversation between Roth and Marisa Tomei that, despite its brevity, may represent FOUR ROOMS' comic highlight.
"The Man from Hollywood"
Rating (0 to 10): 5.5
Cast: Tim Roth, Quentin Tarantino, Jennifer Beals, Paul Calderon, Bruce Willis Written and Directed by: Quentin Tarantino Cinematography: Andrzej Sekula
There's no doubt that a fair number of those in the audience will be present because Quentin Tarantino is involved in this film. Unfortunately, Tarantino's episode can't save FOUR ROOMS. Not only is it pointless, but it lacks the energy that characterized the director's feature films (RESERVOIR DOGS and PULP FICTION). Also, while "The Man >From Hollywood" features Tarantino's rapid-fire dialogue, the actor speaking many of the lines is one of the most inept and uncharismatic performers in movies these days: Tarantino himself.
"The Man from Hollywood" is based on an old Alfred Hitchcock TV episode, where a man bets his finger that he can start his lighter ten straight times. Ted is brought in to wield the hatchet to remove the digit (should the need arise), earning a fee of $1000 for his troubles. The two bettors are big-time Hollywood director Chester Rush (Tarantino), who's putting up his 1964 Chevy Chevelle, and actor Norman (Paul Calderon), whose pinkie is on the line. Also in the penthouse suite is profanity-spewing Leo (Bruce Willis) and, reprising her role from "The Wrong Man", Jennifer Beals.
Even though "The Man from Hollywood" is merely twenty minutes long, it drags, and only the conclusion has any zing. Whether Tarantino is played out has yet to be determined, but his efforts in FOUR ROOMS are feeble at best. It's only the ugliness of Anders' and Rockwell's segments that make Tarantino's somewhat palatable -- but "The Man from Hollywood" is still no better than mediocre by his, or anyone else's, standards.
At its best, FOUR ROOMS is reminiscent of John Cleese's '70s TV series FAWLTY TOWERS. Far more frequently, however, this movie recalls one of the worst hotel movies of all time, BLAME IT ON THE BELLBOY. While spending ninety minutes watching FOUR ROOMS doesn't rank alongside the distasteful experience of a full night's stay at the Mon Signor, it's still a poor way to waste an evening -- New Year's Eve or otherwise.

Ajit Pawar repeats family history in Maharashtra
by DH Web DeskIn a surprising twist in Maharashtra, Sharad Pawar's nephew and NCP leader Ajit Pawar extended support to the BJP and became deputy chief minister of the state.
NCP supremo Sharad Pawar did something similar to shake up the government in 1978, according to a report in The Quint.
In the 1977 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party had lost to the Janata Party. Maharashtra Congress Chief Minister Shakarrao Chavan then resigned and Vasantdada Patil became the chief minister.
The Congress party subsequently underwent a division and the two factions contested the 1978 Assembly elections separately. The Janata Party got the most seats but did not have a majority. The Congress factions then came together and formed a government with Sharad Pawar as the Minister of Industry and Labour.
The government would not make it far. Pawar left the Congress in July 1978 and formed his own party named the Indian Congress (socialist). And the Congress government fell as a result.
On July 18, 1978, Pawar was sworn in as Maharashtra Chief minister at the age of 38, with the support of the Janata Party, in an alliance named the progressive democratic coalition.
Pawar's tenure would be cut short after Indira Gandhi’s government was formed in the 1980 Lok Sabha polls. Pawar’s government was then dismissed.
The Congress party would go on to get a majority in the 1980 elections with AR Antulay emerging as the chief minister.
It remains to be seen how far Ajit Pawar's present reign as deputy CM will go.

So it seems young Jairah is potentially a Picasso in the making. While I was distracted in the kitchen, talking to a friend who was visiting, Jairah was busy practicing his artistic skills on our off-white leather sofa. Needless to say he has done a 'great' job. He was so very proud of his work to say the least. What's a mama to do? I just took the pen and a photo, which he was very happy to pose for I might add! Scarlett was very impressed that Jairah had actually drawn some 'letters'.
As I type, Greg is busy trying to lift the pen out of the leather. Oh well, at least it will be really clean once we are finished!!

Acting is not about juggling Instagram filters, says casting director Mukesh Chhabra at IFFI
When asked about tips for upcoming actors, the ace casting director Mukesh Chhabra said acting isn't about Instagram filters.
PANAJI: Acting is not just about juggling around with Instagram filters, said one of India's leading casting directors Mukesh Chhabra.
Chhabra, who has scouted talent for over 200 films, including some of the most successful Indian movies like 'Gangs of Wasseypur', 'Haider' and 'Chennai Express', was speaking at an interactive session on the sidelines of the ongoing 50th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here on Saturday.
"Fear of rejection is a part of an actor's job. You're in a profession where you have to deal with it every day. Don't judge the feedback you receive based on one day. It's part of the job," Chhabra said.
When asked about tips for upcoming actors, the ace casting director quipped: "Acting isn't about Instagram filters".
The nine-day long IFFI is billed as one of Asia's largest international film festivals in which nearly 200 films from 76 countries are scheduled to be screened.
