--- layout: page title: 'Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club' nav: Location ---
Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club is located on Highway 27, just 15 miles south of Disney World.
Designed by Steve Smyers, the award winning golf course opened in 1993. The dramatic hillside layout stretches to over 7,200 yards and features 100ft of elevation changes, not typically found in Central Florida. Five sets of tees welcome golfers of all skill levels.
Southern Dunes Golf Course is consistently ranked among the nation's best and receives rave reviews from local and visiting golfers. It was ranked number 12 in Florida on 'America's best courses you can play.' by GolfWeek (2010)
Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club is a peaceful gated community. The gates are manned 24 hours a day for added security.
Five minutes walk from our villa is the Southern Dunes clubhouse bar and restaurant which offers breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. Booking for dinner is advised.
Just outside the gates of Southern Dunes, within easy walking distance, is a 24 hour Walmart superstore which sells just about anything you can think of, from food to pool toys!
There are also several other smaller shops, banks, fast food and family restaurants, our favourite being the popular Manny's Chophouse.
Eagle Ridge mall is 15 minutes drive away and offers several major stores, such as J C Penney and Sears and a cinema. The Disney parks are just 20 minutes drive.
Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club is an ideal location for your holiday. Whether a golfer or not, you will enjoy the friendly, peaceful atmosphere. Some places maybe a little nearer the action, but that also means you are nearer to the noise and traffic.


Wharf Manager Felton:
Why did you come to me? The cargo has been delayed by a storm. If that's what you're here for, you'll have to wait a little longer. We're not delaying things on purpose, I promise you.
You're looking for someone? There are many people moving about this wharf... I'm afraid you'll have to be a little more specific...
Explain.

The moment.js has plenty of features and these examples are just the tip of the iceberg of what moment.js can do.
Just remember, in {{moment method=null}} means moment().method() and {{moment somedate method="something"}} means moment(somedate).method("something"). Also, the handlebars syntax does not let you pass some values (like arrays and objects) directly from the tag, so you may need to use the yaml frontmatter to run those.

Brewmaster
Tips
- I don't care what the situation is, the Cyclone on the Storm Panda will always be useful. Cyclone the
support so that your teammates won't waste time killing that squishy CM when they should be focusing the
carry.  Cyclone that PA who
is slicing everyone to shreds because the rest of her team is locking your team down. Cyclone the roided
up Sven and waste a whopping 6 seconds of God's Strength.
- After you pick someone to twister, think about Dispelling some Magic. A few spells that you can Dispel
include: TA's Meld, Omniknight's Repel and Guardian Angel, the Cyclone active
from Eul's, all Runes, and a ton of other stuff.
- Casting the Storm Panda's Dispel Magic on the Cyclone will also immediately stop the Cyclone.
- The Storm Panda's Wind Walk gives you free bonus damage on the next attack, so use it! If you're
quick, you should easily be able to use it twice during your ult, which is a lot of physical damage that you
were not using before. Late game, Wind Walk will be your main escape mechanism because your Fire Panda
will go down as soon as someone so much as farts on it, and the Earth Panda goes down surprisingly
quickly once carries start doling out big single target damage.
- The Wind Walk also gives a massive move speed increase on the Storm Panda. Use it if you're trying to
catch an escaping enemy. Once you catch up, cast the Cyclone. The Cyclone won't end even if your ult
ends.
 If you have a Blink Dagger, you shouldn't worry. No matter how many times they damage your
Pandas, Blink Dagger will be off cooldown the moment you reform. So just position your Earth Panda where
you can get an effective Blink, and start mashing the item hotkey.
- Just be sure to turn the Spirit to face the direction you want to blink in before Primal Split ends. This will
avoid any turn animation delay since Brewmaster faces the same direction that the Spirit was last facing.
 Between Drunken
Haze and Drunken Brawler, hitting this guy is a miracle. And this is if Primal Split is down.
- Pretty much every carry should consider getting an MKB or BKB early on to deal with the miss chance on
Drunken Haze. Manta Style, Lotus Orb, Guardian Greaves, and Diffusal Blade can purge the debuff as well.
- Kill the Fire Panda ASAP in the early game. This is the majority of Brewmaster's damage once he splits.
Treat it like an Undying Tombstone.
- You can left click the Spirits and check their buffs to see how much time is remaining on the Split.
This is relevant if you're trying to drop some damage/disables on the Earth panda before Brewmaster
comes back to disable his blink.
- SILENSILSILSILESILENSILENCESILENCE. Dude hates silences and hexes. Primal Split has a cast time and
Hexes and some Silences are instant. If you have these on your team he'll likely have to cut his
Blink->Clap->Haze->Split combo to just Blink->Split.


Document signed by Robert the Bruce 700 years ago which changed fortunes of Scots city goes on show
by Alison CampsieAn original document signed 700 years ago by Robert the Bruce which granted a Scottish city powerful rights in return for its loyalty to the King of Scot is to go on show.
Written in Latin, the Stocket Charter was addressed to the “burgesses and community of our burgh of Aberdeen” by Robert the Bruce on 10 December 1319 and is one of the pivotal documents in the city’s history.
READ MORE:
The reward of power culminated in the Stocket Charter which gave all revenues from the burgh courts, market tolls and fishing to the burgesses in perpetuity, in return for an annual payment of £213 6s 8d.
READ MORE:
It was an extremely valuable gift, allowing the burgh to generate significant income and to lay the basis for the ‘Common Good Fund’ which survives to this day.
It also enabled Aberdeen to become a significant economic and political power in late-medieval and early-modern Scotland.
The document celebrates its 700th anniversary tomorrow (Tuesday 10 December) and will go on show at a free talk being held in Aberdeen to discuss its impact on the city.
Phil Astley, archivist at Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives, said: “After undergoing conservation work earlier this year it is wonderful to see this amazing slice of Aberdeen’s history looking so good for its 700th birthday celebrations.”
Mr Astley will give a talk on the Stocket Charter with Professor Steve Boardman of the University of Edinburgh at
Cowdray Hall, Schoolhill, Aberdeen on Wednesday, December 10 at 7.30pm.
The talk is free, although requires booking via Eventbrite.

xmlns:nav="using:MvvmLib.Navigation"
nav:ViewModelLocator.ResolveViewModel="True">
Change the default convention
Example with "View" and "ViewModel" directories/namespaces
(App)
ViewModelLocationProvider.SetViewTypeToViewModelTypeResolver((viewType) =>
{
var viewAssemblyName = viewType.GetTypeInfo().Assembly.FullName;
var viewName = viewType.FullName;
viewName = viewName.Replace(".View.", ".ViewModel."); // <=
var viewModelName = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0}ViewModel, {1}", viewName, viewAssemblyName);
return Type.GetType(viewModelName);
});
NavigationManager
Allows to register Navigation services.
Static methods:
- Register: register a frame, with a key if the application have more than one frame
- IsRegistered
- Unregister
(App)
NavigationManager.Register(rootFrame);
Tip : x:FieldModifier="Public" allows to access to a frame in a page. For example register a frame for a page with a NavigationView or a SplitView.
var frame = ((Shell)shell).MainFrame; // x:FieldModifier="Public"
NavigationManager.Register(frame);
Use a Bootstrapper. Sample Create a Boostrapper with MvvmLib IoC Container.
We could use any IoC container (Unity, StructureMap, etc.)
public abstract class MvvmBootstrapper : BootstrapperBase
{
protected IInjector container;
public MvvmBootstrapper(IInjector container)
{
this.container = container;
}
protected override void SetViewModelFactory()
{
ViewModelLocationProvider.SetViewModelFactory((viewModelType) => container.GetInstance(viewModelType));
}
protected override void RegisterRequiredTypes()
{
container.RegisterType<INavigationManager, NavigationManager>();
container.RegisterType<IBackRequestManager, BackRequestManager>();
}
}
... The create a Bootstrapper class
public class Bootstrapper : MvvmBootstrapper
{
public Bootstrapper(IInjector container)
: base(container)
{ }
protected override void RegisterTypes()
{
container.RegisterType<IMyService, MyService>();
container.RegisterSingleton<PageBViewModel>();
}
protected override Page CreateShell()
{
return container.GetInstance<Shell>();
}
protected override void ConfigureNavigation(Page shell)
{
var frame = ((Shell)shell).MainFrame; // x:FieldModifier="Public"
NavigationManager.Register(frame);
}
protected override void InitializeShell(Page shell)
{
Window.Current.Content = shell;
}
}
In App
sealed partial class App : Application
{
public App()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
this.Suspending += OnSuspending;
}
private const string NavigationStateName = "__navigationstate__";
public new static App Current => (App)Application.Current;
public IInjector Container { get; private set; } = new Injector();
public INavigationManager NavigationManager { get; private set; }
protected override void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
{
// create and run a boostrapper with the ioc container
var bootstrapper = new Bootstrapper(Container);
bootstrapper.Run();
NavigationManager = Container.GetInstance<INavigationManager>();
// App lifeycle
if (e.PreviousExecutionState == ApplicationExecutionState.Terminated)
{
if (ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values.ContainsKey(NavigationStateName))
{
var navigationState = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values[NavigationStateName].ToString();
NavigationManager.GetDefault().SetNavigationState(navigationState);
}
}
}
private void OnSuspending(object sender, SuspendingEventArgs e)
{
var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
var navigationState = NavigationManager.GetDefault().GetNavigationState();
ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values[NavigationStateName] = navigationState;
deferral.Complete();
}
}
Methods:
Use a IoC container to create and inject the service (INavigationManager) in ViewModels/ views
Get The Navigation Service:
- GetDefault
- GetNamed for a frame registered with a key
Sample:
await navigationManager.GetDefault().NavigateAsync(typeof(MainPage));
// with parameter
await navigationManager.GetDefault().NavigateAsync(typeof(MainPage), "My parameter");
// go back
await navigationManager.GetDefault().GoBackAsync();
// go forward
await navigationManager.GetDefault().GoForwardAsync();
// redirect
await navigationManager.GetDefault().RedirectAsync(typeof(LoginPage), "My parameter");
Navigation Service Methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| NavigateAsync | Allows to navigate to a new page |
| GoBackAsync | Allows to go to the previous page |
| GoForwardAsync | Allows to go the next page |
| RedirectAsync | Allows to redirect to a page and do not add/ remove current page from history |
| GetNavigationState | Allows to get frame navigation state for app lifecycle |
| SetNavigationState | Allows to restore frame navigation state |
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| BackStack | Frame Back stack |
| ForwardStack | Frame Forward stack |
| CanGoBack | Returns true if back stack history have more then one entry |
| CanGoForward | Returns true if forward stack history have one or more entries |
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| CanGoBackChanged | Invoked after can go back changed |
| CanGoForwardChanged | Invoked after can go forward changed |
| Navigating | Invoked before navigation starts |
| Navigated | Invoked after navigation ends |
| NavigatingFailed | Invoked after navigation was cancelled |
INavigatable
For View and/or View model
Example:
public class MainPageViewModel : INavigatable
{
// Invoked after navigation ends
public void OnNavigatedTo(object parameter)
{
}
// Invoked before leaving
public void OnNavigatingFrom()
{
}
}
IDeactivatable Navigation Guard
Allows to cancel navigation
public class PageAViewModel : IDeactivatable
{
public async Task<bool> CanDeactivateAsync()
{
bool result = true;
var dialog = new MessageDialog("Deactivate PageA?");
dialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("Ok", cmd => { }));
dialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("Cancel", cmd => { result = false; }));
await dialog.ShowAsync();
return result;
}
}
IActivatable interface is not present because pages are created by the frame ... but its possible to cancel navigation from view model with redirectAsync method:
public class HomePageViewModel : INavigatable
{
private INavigationManager navigationManager;
public HomePageViewModel(INavigationManager navigationManager)
{
this.navigationManager = navigationManager;
}
public async void OnNavigatedTo(object parameter, NavigationMode navigationMode)
{
// cancel navigation, remove the home page from history
await navigationManager.GetDefault().RedirectAsync(typeof(LoginPage));
}
public void OnNavigatingFrom(bool isSuspending)
{
}
}
BackRequestManager
Allows to show/ hide back button in title bar and handle back button clicked.
var backRequestManager = new BackRequestManager(); // Or inject with an ioc container
backRequestManager.Handle(MainFrame, () => HandleBackRequested());
private async void HandleBackRequested()
{
if (navigationService.CanGoBack)
{
await navigationService.GoBackAsync();
}
}

SentinelOne unifies endpoint threat prevention, detection and response in a single platform driven by sophisticated machine learning and intelligent automation. The true value of the SentinelOne endpoint security system is the single point provision of the entire security triangle in a single endpoint agent that works autonomously while reporting to a single holistic management interface that provides access to all security functions. The security triangle consists of: PRE-EXECUTION: Using signature based technologies and our own deep file inspection static analysis, we prevent known-bad software (malware) from being executed. ON EXECUTION: For those malware samples that bypass the prevention modules, and are able to achieve execution, we provide modules that detect unknown malware at the point of execution through the application of behavioral analysis. POST-EXECUTION: Having detected unknown malware through its behaviors, we apply automated policy-based responses including mitigation (kill, quarantine, network quarantine) and provide remediation features. These, in conjunction with our real-time forensic analysis information, provide end-point security teams with all the information they need to restore end-points (servers, desktops and laptops) back to a known good working state. This summary report provides some key performance indicators and metrics from the SentinelOne server. |
|
|
Detected Threats | |||
|
These are the detected threats and their statuses. They include both resolved and unresolved threats. ACTIVE: These are threats that do not have a mitigation policy, or only have a "Kill" mitigation policy. These threats should be analyzed and further actions should be taken, such as Kill, Quarantine, or Rollback. Once an Action has been taken, acknowledge the notification to clear it out of the SentinelOne dashboard. MITIGATED: These threats have been quarantined, remediated, or rolled back. Acknowledge the alert notification to clear them out in the SentinelOne dashboard. BLOCKED: These threats have been prevented from executing based on blacklisted hash or static analysis (signature-less analysis). Acknowledge the alert notification to clear them out in the SentinelOne dashboard. SUSPICIOUS: These are threats with suspicious behavior that should be analyzed further. If it is a false-positive, it should be marked as "benigh" and whitelisted. They can also be marked as a threat and further actions can be taken. Additional actions include Kill, Quarantine, and Rollback. |
||||
| $TABLE-THREATDATA$ | ||||
| Detection Engines | ||
|
SentinelOne uses different engines and techniques within the same agent to protect against malicious threats. This is a report of the different engines having convicted and detected the malicious activites. Pre-Execution (Blacklist): As a first line of defense, the SentinelOne agents receive blacklisted signatures automatically from the server to protect against known threats. The immunization is automated to ensure protection against already discovered threats within the deployment environment. Pre-Execution (DFI): The SentinelOne Deep File Inspection (DFI) is an intelligent, signature-less static prevention engine that is used to uncover and block known and unknown file-based malware. It leverages advanced machine learning algorithms instead of signatures. A key feature of DFI is the ability to provide protection even when the endpoint is offline without network connectivity. Pre-Execution (Cloud Reputation): While the SentinelOne agent is capable of using DFI to protect against file-based malware, it is further enhanced with the capability of using aggregated Cloud intelligence to validate suspicions as needed or when appropriate. On-Execution (DBT): This is the SentinelOne flagship Dynamic Behavioral Tracking (DBT) engine. Advanced threats are protected through cutting-edge behavior-based detection. DBT detects any type of malicious activity - from polymorphic malware to sophisticated exploits to stealthy insider attacks - against a full context of normal system activity. |

Rules for BlackJack
NOTE:Here we have used infinite deck of cards.
Cards: A standard deck of playing cards is used, i.e., four suits (clubs, diamonds,
spades, and hearts) and 13 different cards within each suit (the numbers 2 through
10, jack, queen, king, and ace).
we had replace 10, jack,queen and king with a generic 'face card'. We will assume an infinite number of
decks available in the pack.
Card Values: The numbered cards (2 through 9) count as their numerical value.The generic face card (replacing 10, jack, queen, and king) counts as 10, and the ace may count as either 1 or 11 (whichever works in the player's favour).
How To Play
1. Each player places a bet on the hand.
2. The dealer deals two cards to each player, including himself. The player's cardswill be face-up. One of the dealers cards is face-up, but the other is face-down.
3. The player must do one of the following:
H - Hit: The player receives one additional card (face up). A player can receive as many cards as he or she wants, but if the value of the player's hand exceeds 21, the player busts and loses the bet on this hand irrespective of dealer's hand.
S - Stand: The player does not want any additional cards.
D - Double-down: Before the player has received any additional cards, she may
double-down. This means that the player doubles her bet on the hand and will receive exactly one additional card.

Meek Mill Lists the Top Five Rappers of His Era
by Trent FitzgeraldMeek Mill has revealed his list of the top five rappers of his era.
On Thursday (Nov. 15), the Philadelphia rhymer opened up his Twitter account to an #askmeek session where fans can ask him anything and everything on the social media platform. When a fan asked him who is his top five rappers right now, Meek revealed his picks starting with Jay-Z, his ally in criminal justice reform.
In the tweet, Meek wrote, "Hov... Wayne...Rozay .... kiss .... Dmx .... and that’s my era top 5!!!"
As you can see, Meek included Hov, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Jadakiss and DMX.
Elsewhere, Meek responded to a fan's question about the possibility of him releasing a new project before the end of the year. "I'ma set this shit straight just to be in the convo of the 2019 albums," the Dreamchasers mogul wrote in a tweet hinting that he might drop an album that could be in one of the year's best album conversations.
Although Meek is hinting about dropping new material, there is no guarantee that he will deliver a new project this year. Back in August, the 32-year-old artist promised to release a pack of music before the end of the summer. However, his promise didn't come to fruition.
Meanwhile, during his #askmeek session, when a fan asked him what his favorite song is from his music catalog, Meek gave the obvious answer. “Of course intro,” he wrote in a tweet, referring to his classic "Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)" from his 2012 album, Dreams and Nightmares.
Check out Meek Mill’s tweets below.
See 25 of the Best Hip-Hop Album Intros Since 2000
"Intro," Jay-Z
The Dynasty: Roc La Familia (2000)
It’s an event. It’s a championship in the making. But not just one. Two, three, four, more.  Such is the atmosphere imagined by Just Blaze’s clean, hard soul/rock production on Jigga’s crew-crashing LP that kicks the millennium off proper. Of course, quotables like “This is food for thought, you do the dishes” on Jay’s one long verse serve as the perfect amuse bouche for the feast in the kitchen.
“WWIII,” Ruff Ryders Featuring Swizz Beatz, Snoop Dogg, Yung Wun, Scarface and Jadakiss
Ryde or Die Vol. II (2000)
The ominous synths and cataclysmic song title warn of the imminent demolition. Stars from the East, West and South align as the Ruff Ryders launch their second compilation with a nuclear assault. Simply getting Snoop, ’Face and Jada all on a track is a win. That they all bring their A-game is historic.
“Experience Dedication,” Reflection Eternal
Train of Thought (2000)
Beginning your first album with a shoutout from Nelson Mandela as impersonated by Dave Chappelle is unconventional, to say the least. But it grabs our attention. So as Talib Kweli gets his thank-yous out of the way early over a Hi-Tek neck-snapper, asking, “Are you ready?” and calling for raised fists, anticipation bubbles for just the right amount of time before the duo launches into the rattling “Move Somethin’.” It’s like the measurement that precedes the chainsaw.
“Intro,” Clipse
Lord Willin’ (2002)
Ahhh… remember the days when The Neptunes produced an entire front-to-back rap record? When Malice had some? Over a simple drums-and-vibes track—no chorus, no singing, no frills—the brothers Thornton each snatch the microphone and introduce themselves as a force to be reckoned with. First, Pusha “speaks with crooked tongue,” then Malice states, “I’m the reason your favorite MC is no longer your favorite.” The duo proceeds to carry that edge over 12 more stripped-down tracks and establish themselves as one of the best crews in the game.
“Doo Rags,” Nas
The Lost Tapes (2002)
The jazzy ease-in to Nasir’s collection of uncovered scrolls paints a picture of back-in-the-day Queensbridge, when a future superstar was still finding his path and puffing enjoyment from a spliff. “Doo Rags” is a wiser man looking back fondly on those naïve nights and formative years. The track suggests a collection of thoughtful excursions, of meandering over menace.
 “Get down!” Sampling none other than “The Payback,” co- producers Nas and Salaam Remi bring our hero back to the essence. Gritty break beats, HD storytelling and bulletproof project-window bars. We’re thrown back in time, yet it feels so timeless—and nasty.
“Trap Muzik,” T.I. Featuring Mac Boney
Trap Muzik (2003)
There is no mistaking what the song, the album or the artist is about, as Tip makes his intentions crystal clear on the sophomore-slump-busting into to album No. 2. When he’s not riding DJ Toomp’s Southern bump with trademark effortlessness, T.I. is hopping fences running from the cops. There is an urgency here, a danger, but also a sense of pride and determination.
“The Illest Villains," Madvillian
Madvillainy (2004)
The ideal intro doesn’t necessarily require punchlines and flows. Sometimes a simple mood- setter does the trick, which is what the super-weirdo duo of Madlib and MF Doom accomplish with the opening of their acclaimed full-length collaboration. It’s the only track co-produced by the artists. Madlib’s erie strings conjure a dastardly comic-book layer, while Doom’s vintage voice skits quickly build a mythology for the creatives’ latest alter-ego. So when he starts rhyming non sequiturs over an accordion, it feels oddly in place.
“Be (Intro),” Common
Be (2005)
Common’s renaissance album—Be received this magazine’s perfect XXL score—begins with a naked, meandering bass line before finding its groove. Then, gradually, piece by piece, come the keys, synths and drums. Once the beat is fully constructed, the Chicago MC kicks in the door like a wind gust, touching on artistic legends, family, materialism and spirituality while spilling toss-away nuggets—“Drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones”—in a single tornado verse. All this in under 150 seconds. Cool, but deadly.
“Tha Mobb,” Lil Wayne
Tha Carter II (2005)
Breaking from the comfort of his Cash Money comfort zone, Weezy employs the Dipset-affiliated Heatmakerz to lay a wall of soul-infused sound for the intro to his second Carter installment. For more than five minutes, the hottest flame-thrower of the moment exercises his verbal chops, giving the impression he could rap till death should he so choose. Spellbinding in its relentlessness and effortlessness.
“The Prelude,” Jay-Z
Kingdom Come (2006)
The album wasn’t spectacular, but the intro was. Over a B-Money beat that invokes 1970s pimp-strutting, Jay-Z—“a hustler disguised as a rapper”—casually spills game, feelin’ himself, his come-up, his legacy, his bank account. Whether Jay’s post–Black Album retirement was ever meant to stick or was always a gimmick feels irrelevant. The good news is there were barrels more dope raps (check the 38 wordplay) left in the man still.
“Good Morning,” Kanye West
Graduation (2007)
Like its author, there exists both a darkness and a lightness to “Good Morning.” Graduation’s valedictorian speech, blessed by hard drums and an airy Elton John sample, is at once celebratory and suspicious, nicely encapsulating both the ambition and susceptibility of a man who describes himself like this: “I’m like a fly Malcolm X—buy any jeans necessary.”
“3 Peat,” Lil Wayne
Tha Carter III (2008)
Weezy sounds just as amped up for the third installment of his Carter series as we were in 2008. Storming out thirsty and wild and profane, Wayne dives in headfirst over a Maestro composition without checking for rocks, delivering “a million uppercuts” in one extended, chorus-free verse.
“No Church in the Wild,” Jay-Z & Kanye West Featuring Frank Ocean
Watch the Throne (2011)
The seventh and final single released off Jay and Ye’s event collabo LP, “No Church in the Wild” prowls in like a wild-game hunt as Frank Ocean’s dour vocals color a mangled electric guitar. The thing feels very manic. A cocktail of spirits and sin has Jay-Z questioning religion and Thanksgiving and Kanye flashing back to last night’s drunken exploit with a girl in all leopard. The-Dream’s uncredited Auto-Tune and a late invasion of howler monkeys only add to the unpredictability here.
“Dreams and Nightmares,” Meek Mill
Dreams and Nightmares (2012)
“Ain’t this what they been waitin’ for? You ready?” teases the Philly wordsmith, before spitting nearly four straight minutes of fire. First, producer The Beat Bully lets Meek tear into a sparse piano line before bringing the beat—and the ruckus—all the way in. Mill spazzes out on the track, instantly raising the bar for himself and the competition. This chest-puffing album intro alone has well over 40 million plays on YouTube.
“Sherane a.k.a. Master Splinter’s Daughter,” Kendrick Lamar
good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012)
Everything about Kung-fu Kenny’s Aftermath debut intro forewarns listeners that they are in for something serious, something different, something expert. Lamar begins his autobiographical opus with a story rap from his youth and ends the track with a phone-call skit. No hooks. No boasts. We’re immediately thrust into a narrative with real-life characters. There’s lust and deceit and distrust, and we’re dying to know more about his world.
“Tuscan Leather,” Drake
Nothing Was the Same (2013)
Never released as a single, “Tuscan Leather” still rose as high as No. 23 on Billboard—another example of Drake’s decade of dominance. “This is nothin’ for the radio, but they’ll still play it though,” Drizzy brags over 40’s chopped-up Whitney Houston sample, his confidence swelling. He’s in spitter mode, giving a three-verse, state-of-the-union address that tackles his strained relationship with Nicki Minaj. The beat shifts drastically a couple of times, adding a spontaneity and excitement to this curtain opening. But don’t get it twisted: It’s all calculated. “How much time is this nigga spendin’ on the intro?”
“Givenchy,” Young Thug Featuring Birdman
Rich Gang: Tha Tour Pt. 1 (2014)
Thugga establishes himself as one of hip-hop’s most hypnotizing, joyful and quirky characters on this crew mixtape-as-album. Sure, Birdman and Rich Homie Quan also play a role in the project, but Track 1 drills home the fact this is Young Thug’s show(case). His yelps and his warbles, his melodies and his oddball cadence shifts all assert Thug’s position as a rising star, a talent equally unique and unpredictable.
“Jeopardy,” Run the Jewels
Run the Jewels 2 (2014)
The break-your-neck, assassinate-your-president ethos of Killer Mike and El-P’s second act is wonderfully, aggressively encapsulated early on the super duo’s second and best LP. Over a haunting El-Producto wash of terror and drunken brass, Mikey goes for broke, sounding more confident and focused as ever. El-P’s second verse comes in like lamb, at first self-deprecating, then swells into a lion: “Run the Jewels is the answer/ The question is, ‘What’s poppin’?’ ” No way you’re not giving Track 2 a chance after this.
“Ultralight Beam,” Kanye West
Life of Pablo (2016)
This is a God dream. This is everything. This is Kanye West at his most egotistical and ambitious and collaborative, with church choirs and a diversified team of super talents—Chance the Rapper, Kirk Franklin, Rick Rubin, Mike Dean, Swizz Beatz, Plain Pat, Kelly Price—rushing to support his vision. This is only Track One, and we’re strapped in, ready to ride to places wonderful and awful but never boring.
“All We Got,” Chance the Rapper
Coloring Book (2016)
Kanye West has passed on his golden touch for Track 1s to fellow Chicagoan Chance, and the two team-up for arguably the two best rap intros of 2016. “All We Got” starts with a trumpet, then Chance’s whisper-chant of “we back… we back… we back,” before denying that the thing is an intro at all. “This the entrée!” Kanye adds flourish but doesn’t crash the stage, letting the gospel choir rise up and a single message ring through: "Music is all we got."
“The Space Program,” A Tribe Called Quest
We Got It from Here… Thank You 4 Your Service (2016)
After an 18-year hiatus from the album game and with a key member recently deceased, it was with great trepidation that followers pressed play on a new ATCQ record. So hearing Q-Tip and Phife Dawg’s voices intertwining off top put us at ease. “It's time to go left and not right/Gotta get it together forever/Gotta get it together for brothers/Gotta get it together for sisters/For mothers and fathers and dead niggas…” The self-produced beat feels both familiar and fresh, Phife’s death is immediately acknowledged, and Tip’s verses are fire. They resurrected so they could vanish in peace, and we’re grateful.
“Get Up 10,” Cardi B
Invasion of Privacy (2018)
It takes Cardi all of two bars to tackle her stripper past head-on and establish herself as something more than that “Bodak Yellow” chick. Cardi got bars for days, and “Get Up 10” gets the skills flexing out of the way early, so when Privacy’s more radio-friendly fare hits, you’d be foolish to question her bona fides. There is a fierce paranoia at play as Cardi outlines her rags-to-riches, fuelled-by-haters mythology, and a defiant edge softened only by wit. “Real bitch,” she blurts. “Only thing fake is the boobs.”
“If You Know You Know,” Pusha-T
Daytona (2018)
The potential for a seven-track classic is laid out when Pusha starts popping that game, as per tradition on his album openers. Whip-smart and precise, the unapologetic corner boy keeps finding fresh avenues to cruise through the same territory, mining from a bottomless well of coke metaphors (“I predict snow, Al Roker”), and Kanye West’s production gives a sharp bop. There is a clean precision here that will run throughout the no-filler LP.
“Under the Sun,” Dreamville Featuring J. Cole, Lute and DaBaby
Revenge of the Dreamers III (2019)
You know a joint is fire when Kendrick Lamar wanders into the studio just to listen and ends up lending his vocals to the hook uncredited—“I woke up for some moooonnayyy!”—just because. Producers Christo, Pluss and Nice Rec assemble a breezy soul sample that propels the track but never detracts from a triple dose of verses that establishes Revenge of the Dreamers’ all-hands-on-deck communal approach to record-making. Relative newbies Lute (“Potato over my gun/I move in silence 'cause niggas be clocking my funds”) and DaBaby (“I just put diamonds on all of my teeth, now they probably think I ain't intelligent”) hang right there with Cole.


11 Getting started with R and RStudio
In this chapter
- Install R , RStudio
- The power of packages, especially the
tidyverse
- Set up defaults for reporting with data
- Issue your first R commands
- Work in projects
- Relax!
This is probably your first introduction to coding. Don’t be worried. With effort, much of what reporters do in coding can be learned in a few weeks.
Like most reporters, I learned the coding that I know (which isn’t a lot) because I wanted to get a story done. In our class, we are not trying to become a programmer or social scientist. We’re working on stories.
You saw during the pivot table lesson that spreadsheets have limits. We couldn’t easily get the city with the most police shootings because we would have had to put both city and state into the pivot table. A median is missing from pivot tables entirely. It’s easy to lose track of where you are and what you did. That’s the reason to learn some coding – there is something we want to know that isn’t very easy to get in other ways.
All programming languages have one thing in common: You write instructions, called algorithms, and the program executes your statements in order. It means you can do more complicated work in computer programming than in point-and-click parts of Excel. It can also scale – you can repeat your instructions millions of times, tweak it a little, and re-run the program without messing anything else up. The computer won’t mind. Really.
Writing code can also be self-documenting. You can largely eliminate those painstaking Excel data diaries and replace them with documents that explain your work as you go. You’ll still need to record information about your interviews and decisions, but you’ll no longer have to write down every mouse click.
If you’re nervous about getting started with programming, take look at the Appendix: A gentle introduction to programming and Jesse Lecy’s “Learning how to Learn.”
R or Python?
If you ask a data scientist or technologist which language you should learn first, you’ll start a heated debate often between advocates of R, Python, Javascript , SQL, Julia and others. Ask the same question of a data journalist and the answer will be: “Choose one that is free and that your colleagues use so you can get help.” For our purposes, it really doesn’t matter – any of the standard languages will do.
The only rule I would make is to try to stick to your first language for a little while before deciding you want to learn a different one. It would be like trying to learn Portuguese and Spanish at the same time, when you know neither one to begin with. They’re related, but very different.
Employers who hire data reporters usually don’t care which programming language you know because it’s relatively easy to learn another once you’re comfortable with the concepts and good data journalism habits. In a few cases, such as the Associated Press, R is preferred.
11.1 Install R and RStudio
- R is the programming language itself, and has to be installed first
- RStudio is a software program that makes it easier to interact with the programming language. Install it second.
- Packages are sets of programs written by volunteers and data scientists that perform specialized jobs more easily that working with the “base” R language. A package must be installed once on your computer, then invoked to use them in a program.
Follow this interactive tutorial on installing R, RStudio and the tidyverse on your computer:
https://learnr-examples.shinyapps.io/ex-setup-r/#section-welcome .
There are two differences between the video and today:
- The tidyverse will take much longer to finish installation. It has a lot to do and often looks like it’s stalled.
- There are two versions of R for Mac users: The traditional one and the one for the new M1 chip on the latest machines. Choose the one that matches your machine by checking the apple in the upper left and looking at “About this Mac”. It will say “Apple M1” as the processor if you have it.
11.2 Unlocking packages and the tidyverse
The real power of R comes with packages. Packages are bundles of programs that others have found useful to extend the base R language. R is almost useless without them. There are more than 10,000 packages available for R, each doing a special job.
If you followed along with the tutorial, the last thing you did was install a “package” called the tidyverse
. Almost everything we do from now on depends on that step.
The tidyverse packages up a whole set of other packages that are designed to work together smoothly with similar grammar and syntax. It’s particularly useful for the kind of work reporters do – importing, cleaning and analyzing data that we get from others and can’t control how it’s structured.
We’ll be working almost exclusively within the tidyverse in this course. I strongly suggest that when you Google for help, put the word “tidyverse” somewhere in your query. Otherwise, you may get answers that look inscrutable and unfamiliar.
The tidyverse is the brainchild of Hadley Wickham, a statistician from New Zealand, who famously identified tidy data principles. He’s currently the chief data scientist for RStudio in Houston.
11.3 Set up RStudio for data reporting
Staying organized is one of the challenges of data reporting – you’re constantly re-downloading and re-jiggering your analysis and it’s easy to get your material separated. This setup helps ensure that you always know where to find your work and can move it to another comptuer seamlessly.
 Within my Documents folder, I created a sub-folder called data-class
. It will make this guide a little easier if you do the same thing, especially if you’re not very familiar with using directories and folders.
Start up RStudio once you’ve made your folder. Make sure you start up RStudio (not the R language) by searching for it in Spotlight or in the Search bar in Windows. Here’s what they look like:
Get to the Preferences (under the RStudio menu item on a Mac) and make sure it looks like this in the General tab:
(I’ve turned OFF all of the options to restore anything when you start up RStudio and set up a default working directory by browsing to the one I just created.)
Under the R Markdown options, make sure that the box called “Execute setup chunk automatically” is checked.
11.4 The screen
This is what your screen probably looks like:
The Console
The Console is where you can type commands and interact directly with the programming language. Think of it as a very powerful calculator at first. One reason to use it is to install packages.
If you followed the installation demo, you’ve already used the console to install one package. (Go back and do that part now if you skipped it.) Install a few more that will be useful in this course.
Copy these commands one a a time, and paste them into the Console, then hit Return/Enter to execute the command.
install.packages("janitor")
install.packages("rmarkdown")
install.packages("skimr")
install.packages("swirl")
These package names should all be in quotes. We’ll be installing other packages later in this guide, but for now that is everything you need.
Files tab
We won’t be using many of the tabs in the lower right, but the Files tab can help you if you’re having trouble navigating your work. Under the More button, you can choose “Go to working directory”, since that’s where R thinks you’ve parked all of your work. This can be confusing in R, which is why we’ll be working in “projects” that bundle up all of your work in one place.
Environment
The upper right screen is the Environment, which is where your active variables live. A variable is a named thing. It might be a word, a list of words or numbers, or a data frame (spreadsheet). Anything that you want to use has to be listed in that environment before you can reference it. This will make more sense later.
Typing into the console
When you type this: 5+5
after the > prompt, you’ll get this back after you press Return/Enter: [1] 10
When you type this: "Merrill"
(with quotes) after the > prompt, you’ll get this back: [1] "Merrill"
To create a new variable, you’ll use the assignment operator <-
(two characters : A less than sign and a hyphen). Here is how I would create the variable called my_name
(lower case, no spaces). Notice how it appears in the Environment after being created. Then I can print it by typing the name of the variable instead of the letters of my name in quotes:
The console remembers your commands, but you have to type them one at a time and it will forget them when you leave for the day. That’s why we’re going to work in programs called R Markdown documents most of the time.
11.5 Working directory
Here’s how to set your working directory so you can keep your files organized. First, you should have created a folder within the Documents folder called data_class
. Run the following command to see if R Studio is pointing to that folder
getwd()
[1] "/Users/smussend/Desktop/git_repos/data_journalism_interactive_textbook/03_tutorials/qmd_files"
If it is not, you can navigate R Studio to that folder using the Files tab in the lower right corner window. Once you find your data_class folder, then select the Set Working Directory option under the More menu.
You can also set the path programmatically using setwd() which means set working directory. Just find the path directory using Finder – directions are here – and copy that link to this command.
setwd("/Users/YOURNAME/Documents/data_class")
11.6 Interactive R tutorial
One of the packages you installed earler was called swirl
. Invoke it now by typing library(swirl)
into the Console. You can follow the instructions from there. Don’t bother going beyond the first chapter – it’s more geared at other kinds of jobs than ours.
11.7 Relax!
You’re all set up and we’re ready to start programming. Congratulate yourself - everything is new, nothing is intuitive and the screen is intimidating. You’ve come a long way.
11.8 Other resources
Sharon Machlis’ Practical R for Mass Communications and Journalism has an intro to R and RStudio in chapters 2.3 through 2.6
Ben Stenhaug created a fast-paced video introducing the RStudio interface. Don’t worry too much about what some of it means just yet – just see if you can get used to the different parts of the screen.


The process over product concept meant that when I discovered that the skeleton framework worked slightly differently to how I expected, I would not easily be able to get my site to look exactly how I designed it in my wireframe drawings. I decided to adapt the layout to work with what skeleton was designed to do rather than spending a very long time trying to find out how to modify the code to get the site content to exactly resemble the drawings.
I was still quite unaware of the whole process of meditation and didn't really think much of it. I had mostly written it off as someting that was unlikely to work for me.
I have learnt that meditation is mostly about focusing on your breathing, being aware of when you have stopped focusing on breathing and bringing your focus back to breathing. I also learnt that losing focus on your breathing is normal and the process of realising this and bringing your focus back is what helps you strengthen your concentration.
To be honest, not really. The techniques sugested in the chapter were all much or a muchness to me. I suppose one thing I found interesting was the mention of the fact that some people find themselves falling alseep when meditating just due to having their eyes closed. This made me slightly jealous as it has always taken me a long time to fall asleep at the end of a day.


Hi Everyone! My name is Sukanya Moudgalya. I am an Assistant Professor of STEM Education at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. My research addresses various aspects of Socially Just Computer Science and Technology Education. Socially just Computer Science and Technology education (like Culturally Responsive Computing) has mostly been researched in informal contexts. I extend the research in formal P-16 contexts (Pre-Kindergarten to Undergraduate degrees) by (1) studying teacher preparation for justice-oriented education, (2) disrupting whiteness in CS and tech-fields, (3) designing tech-tools meant for civic participation, (4) studying the impact of anti-racist technology education on youth. I also aim to bridge informal and formal spaces so that local residents in a community can work with formal educators towards community needs and growth.

As a part of the IntroCS POGIL Project, I was primarily interested exploring students’ sense of belonging in CS due to the effects of teamwork in their introductory CS courses. I explored the validity of a large-scale instrument that measured students’ sense of belonging in CS using factor analyses and correlations. I also researched the survey’s validity in different learning contexts and among various student groups. In my paper at SIGCSE ’21 technical symposium, I proposed and encouraged researchers to consider the nuances of using quantitative surveys and predictive models, especially when researching sense of belonging for minoritized Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students in CS.
CS Educators Stack Exchange and Gender Equity I researched how educators explored gender and CS in an Q&A forum. I used educator questions and answers, then thematically analyzed ways in which they envivisoned women’s roles incomputing fields. I also explored ways of their communication and sharing praactices using social network analysis. This project lead to publications and presentations in several venues such as AERA, AECT, SIGCSE, and SITE.
Computational Thinking and Equity: I helped conduct workshops for a diverse group of New York City pre-service and in-service K-5 teachers (from ELA, Social Sciences, Science, and Math) to help them integrate Computational Thinking (CT) in their classrooms. I was especially interested in exploring if exposure to inclusive practices, and to CT as a whole, helped teachers better negotiate questions like “who can be a computer scientist?”. My involvement in this project lead to a paper in the ITiCSE conference.
Teachers’ thoughts on Culturally Responsive Computing: I interviewed High-School CS teachers and helped conduct a summer professional development workshop. Through these initial data sources, I began exploring if conditions of whiteness shape White high-school CS teachers' ideas of culture, community, and cultural responsivity. I analyzed the teacher interviews using qualitative coding techniques such as values coding, in-vivo coding, and codeweaving. I wrote an article that is under review in the Journal of Teacher Education
Engaging with a computing tool for civic engagement in High-School CS courses: I conducted workshops for High-School CS teachers on anti-racist computing. hrough a case-study approach, I am studyinh how they reflect on their identities and Whiteness as it operates in the society. I also am analyzing how they explored a computing tool to address school desegregation and the techniques they used to integrate social, historic, and societal aspects of using computing in their classrooms.
I have been an Instructor and Teaching Assisstant at Michigan State University for several semesters. Please see below a list of courses that I have taught.

The PSME curriculum includes a comprehensive treatment of modern theory and empirical techniques. Students receive general training through core courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic growth and econometrics (Fall semester courses), as well as in more specialized fields (Spring semester courses). The general training gives the foundations necessary for graduate studies in economics, and exposure to applied fields will help students wishing to choose a specialization for their second year.
Specially-designed field courses include Finance, Globalization and European Economics, Development and Transition Economics, Industrial Organization, History of Economic Thought, Political Economy, Economics of Organizations, Labor Economics, and Population Economics.
In addition to classical training in economic theory, the students will also learn French, at beginner, intermediate, or advanced level, depending on their initial fluency of the language. Given that the student has shown a sufficient improvement in French as a foreign language, the possibility to take one or two courses thaught in French from other Sorbonne Economics Programs exists.
All Economics Lectures are held in small classes of no more than 60 students. Tutorials are organised in smaller classes (no more then 20 students) for all courses within the first semester, to help students understand the courses and do exercises. French courses are given in classes of about 20 students.
All students prepare an extended essay (M1 dissertation) during the second semester. The dissertation has to be prepared with one of the PSME Professors as a supervisor.
Download the PSME infosheet for a round-up of all relevant information about the PSME program.

"PHYSICIAN" Asa, afflicted with some bodily malady, “sought not to the Lord but to the physicians” (2 Chronicles 16:12). The “physicians” were those who “practised heathen arts of magic, disavowing recognized methods of cure, and dissociating the healing art from dependence on the God of Israel. The sin of Asa was not, therefore, in seeking medical advice, as we understand the phrase, but in forgetting Jehovah.”

A user may specify a buffer to be used for buffering messages sent in buffered mode. Buffering is done by the sender.
| MPI_BUFFER_ATTACH(buffer, size) | |
| IN buffer | initial buffer address (choice) |
| IN size | buffer size, in bytes (non-negative integer) |
int MPI_Buffer_attach(void* buffer, int size)
MPI_BUFFER_ATTACH(BUFFER, SIZE, IERROR)
int MPI_Buffer_detach(void* buffer_addr, int* size)
MPI_BUFFER_DETACH(BUFFER_ADDR, SIZE, IERROR)
Even though the C functions
MPI_Buffer_attach and MPI_Buffer_detach both have
a first argument of type void*, these arguments are used
differently: A pointer to the buffer is passed to MPI_Buffer_attach;
the address of the pointer is passed to MPI_Buffer_detach, so that
this call can return the pointer value.
( End of advice to users.)
Both arguments are defined to be of type void* (rather than
void* and void**, respectively), so as to avoid complex type
casts. E.g., in the last example, &buff, which is of type
char**, can be passed as argument to MPI_Buffer_detach
without type casting. If the formal parameter had type void** then we
would need a type cast before and after the call.
( End of rationale.)
The statements made in this section describe the behavior of MPI
for buffered-mode sends.
When no buffer is currently associated, MPI behaves as if a
zero-sized buffer is associated with the process.
MPI must provide as much buffering for outgoing messages as if
outgoing message
data were buffered by the sending process, in the specified buffer space,
using a circular, contiguous-space allocation policy.
We outline below a model implementation that defines this policy.
MPI may provide more buffering, and may use a better buffer allocation
algorithm
than described below. On the other hand, MPI may signal an error whenever the
simple buffering allocator described below would run out of space. In
particular, if no buffer is explicitly associated with the process, then any
buffered send may cause an error.
MPI does not provide mechanisms for querying or controlling buffering done by
standard mode sends. It is expected that vendors will provide such
information
for their implementations.
There is a wide spectrum of possible implementations of buffered communication:
buffering can be done at sender, at receiver, or both; buffers can be dedicated
to one sender-receiver pair, or be shared by
all communications; buffering can be done in real or
in virtual memory; it can use dedicated memory, or memory shared by other
processes; buffer space may be allocated statically or be changed dynamically;
etc. It does not seem feasible to provide a portable mechanism for querying
or controlling buffering that would be compatible with all these choices, yet
provide meaningful information.
( End of rationale.)
<type> BUFFER(*)
INTEGER SIZE, IERROR
{ void MPI::Attach_buffer(void* buffer, int size) (binding deprecated, see Section Deprecated since MPI-2.2
) }
Provides to MPI a buffer in the user's memory to be used for buffering outgoing
messages. The buffer is used only by messages sent in buffered mode.
Only one buffer can be attached to a process at a time.
MPI_BUFFER_DETACH(buffer_addr, size) OUT buffer_addr initial buffer address (choice) OUT size buffer size, in bytes (non-negative
integer)
<type> BUFFER_ADDR(*)
INTEGER SIZE, IERROR
{ int MPI::Detach_buffer(void*& buffer) (binding deprecated, see Section Deprecated since MPI-2.2
) }
Detach the buffer currently associated with MPI. The call returns the
address and the size of the detached buffer. This operation
will block until all messages currently in the buffer have been transmitted.
Upon return of
this function, the user may reuse or deallocate the space taken by the buffer.

Calls to attach and detach buffers.

Mayakoba Classic: 50/1 pre-tournament tip Harris English leads by one in Mexico
by Press AssociationBen Coley's 50/1 pre-tournament tip Harris English leads the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico.
Leaderboard
-13 Harris English
-11 Brendon Todd
-10 Danny Lee, Adam Long, Robby Shelton
Day two report
American Harris English will be hoping to turn back the clock when he takes a one-shot lead into Sunday at the rain-marred Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico on Sunday.
English fired a superb second round of seven-under 64 on Saturday to follow a first round 65 carded on Friday, a day after Thursday's washout, leaving him at 13 under par through two rounds.
Players will be grouped in threes for the third round and regrouped after it is completed. Organisers are hoping to finish the tournament on Sunday, but if necessary play will resume early on Monday morning.
The 30-year-old English won this tournament in 2014 - and hasn't won since.
He heads into Sunday leading by the barest margin from countryman Vaughn Taylor, who had a 66 on Saturday to lie one stroke ahead of another American, Brendon Todd, who shot 68.
New Zealand's Danny Lee sits next on 10-under following a Saturday 70.
English said he was looking to parlay his early-season momentum into his third career win on the PGA Tour.
"I think I missed two greens today," he said after chipping in for birdie on the 18th. "And if you do that every day out here, you're going to take it deep."
Scotland's Calum Hill is six shots off the lead in equal 12th place, with England's Graeme MCDowell a further two strokes back.
Day one report
New Zealand's Danny Lee leads the Mayakoba Classic by one stroke after firing a nine-under par 62 in the opening round.
South Korean-born Lee was out in 29 at the El Camaleon course in Mexico's Playa del Carmen, helped by an eagle on the fifth, and was 10-under after 13.
At that stage Lee had thoughts of shooting a sub-60 round, only to three putt from 15 feet on the 14th for his only bogey, before finishing with four pars.
"Definitely, it was in my head, 59 or 58," said Lee on pgatour.com. "I have never shot that score out on the PGA Tour before, so I really wanted to make that happen.
"On 14, I had a less than 15-footer for birdie. Just one of those days I felt like I can make anything. I just gave it a little too much extra and hit it through the break and missed the next one coming back. I was a little bit bummed out on that one. But still, nine under is a great start."
American duo Adam Long and Brendon Todd are tied for second on eight under.
Todd, who won the Bermuda Championship two weeks ago, missed a five-foot birdie putt at the 18th that would have tied him for the lead.
Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell and England's Luke Donald led the European challenge on five under.


This post lists the experiments which are used to test gravity theories carried out on the earth.
The test of gravity theories can be viewed as test of the fundations of gravity theories and the the theories themselves, say test of equivalent principle and general relativity or f(R) gravity theory. Thus we should break down general relativity theory into several stages. Here, we use the following table to do so.
| Theory | Mach | WEP | EEP | SEP | GC | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GR | Partial | Y | Y | Y | Y |
| Theory | Topoplogy | Manifold | Connection | Metric |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GR | No torsion | Non-metricity tensor vanishes |
| Theory | Gravitational Waves | Newtonian Limit | GR Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GR |
Most items in mathematics are the same in different theories.
In Newtonian system, the acceleration of an object will be \[ a \]
In a static and uniform gravitation field, the gravity force is \[ G = - g m_G r \]
Thus the acceleration in this case should be \[ a -r g \]
When is constant, the falling accerelation are the same for different objects with same mass. However, if is not a constant, say , different objects would fall at different acceleration.
Now if we put two ball with different mass on the Eotvos torsion balance, the balance would rotate and we can measure it.
Detection of .
Anisotropy of gravitation/electromagnetism is not proved in our galaxy.
Similar to Eddington and Dyson’s bending light observation, radio signals serve as a more precise experiment to test Einstein’s theory.
