Heaps are mainly used for implementing priority queue. We have discussed below heaps in previous posts.
In terms of Time Complexity, Fibonacci Heap beats both Binary and Binomial Heaps.
Below are amortized time complexities of Fibonacci Heap.
1) Find Min: Θ(1) [Same as both Binary and Binomial] 2) Delete Min: O(Log n) [Θ(Log n) in both Binary and Binomial] 3) Insert: Θ(1) [Θ(Log n) in Binary and Θ(1) in Binomial] 4) Decrease-Key: Θ(1) [Θ(Log n) in both Binary and Binomial] 5) Merge: Θ(1) [Θ(m Log n) or Θ(m+n) in Binary and Θ(Log n) in Binomial]
Like Binomial Heap, Fibonacci Heap is a collection of trees with min-heap or max-heap property. In Fibonacci Heap, trees can can have any shape even all trees can be single nodes (This is unlike Binomial Heap where every tree has to be Binomial Tree).
Below is an example Fibonacci Heap taken from here.
Fibonacci Heap maintains a pointer to minimum value (which is root of a tree). All tree roots are connected using circular doubly linked list, so all of them can be accessed using single 'min' pointer.
The main idea is to execute operations in "lazy" way. For example merge operation simply links two heaps, insert operation simply adds a new tree with single node. The operation extract minimum is the most complicated operation. It does delayed work of consolidating trees. This makes delete also complicated as delete first decreases key to minus infinite, then calls extract minimum.
Below are some interesting facts about Fibonacci Heap
- The reduced time complexity of Decrease-Key has importance in Dijkstra and Prim algorithms. With Binary Heap, time complexity of these algorithms is O(VLogV + ELogV). If Fibonacci Heap is used, then time complexity is improved to O(VLogV + E)
- Although Fibonacci Heap looks promising time complexity wise, it has been found slow in practice as hidden constants are high (Source Wiki).
- Fibonacci heap are mainly called so because Fibonacci numbers are used in the running time analysis. Also, every node in Fibonacci Heap has degree at most O(log n) and the size of a subtree rooted in a node of degree k is at least Fk+2, where Fk is the kth Fibonacci number.
We will soon be discussing Fibonacci Heap operations in detail.

Airwork NZ Gains STC for BK117 Glass Cockpit
New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority (NZCAA) granted supplemental type certificate (STC) to Airwork NZ for its BK117 helicopter Genesys electronic flight instrumentation system (EFIS)
Airwork NZ, November 07, 2016 - Airwork NZ announced the award of a New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority (NZCAA) supplemental type certificate (STC) for its BK117 Genesys electronic flight instrumentation system (EFIS).
The first helicopter ZK-IWG, operated by Helicopters Otago, has been operationally accepted and has flown a number of missions.
The Evolution's standard IDU-450 package includes four high-resolution color displays, Genesys 3D synthetic vision with highway-in-the-sky (HITS) navigation, geo-referenced hover vector, helicopter terrain awareness (HTAWS), NVIS-A and NVIS-B night vision goggle compatibility, flight management system, GPS/NAV/COM and much more, providing customers with a multi-mission instrument flight rules helicopter capable of operating in today's complex air traffic environment.
The upgrade was carried out at Helicopter Otago's facility in Dunedin New Zealand by an integrated operational and engineering team," said Graeme Gale, chief pilot and managing director, Heli Otago. "The team worked closely with the NZCAA aircraft certification unit and the team from Genesys throughout the project. Regular meetings and open dialogue ensured that the STC was completed in a timely manner and that all parties involved understood regulatory requirements associated with such a complex program.
"We have a long history with the BK117 and we were looking to retain the operational and engineering experience we have collectively built up. The Evolution cockpit is the final part of this jigsaw. The ability to upgrade one of our helicopters economically with this modern technology provides us with a significant increase in operational safety, reliability and the ability to fly routes other helicopters are unable to."
In addition to the standard EFIS package, a significant re-wire coupled with the replacement of a number of legacy avionics systems provided weight reduction and reliability improvements.
"This was a significant undertaking and the final product has provided the customer with a very capable aircraft," said Simon Williams, Airwork technical business development manager. "The technology is unprecedented and provides Heli Otago with a future proofed solution while still retaining base knowledge of the helicopter. This allows a very smooth transition from analogue to evolution and reduces costs associated with training and logistics.
"We are very pleased with the finished product and believe that this is the natural upgrade for an operator looking for a cost effective solution to improving safety, reliability and operational capability," said Williams.

A couple weeks ago I was contacted by Cupidrop, letting me know I had been accepted into their 2nd Generation Beautiful Pioneer program. This meant I would be given the opportunity to test out an item new to Cupidrop's website; the Two Step Jelly Mask from Meg Cosmetics!
I shared a photo and some quick thoughts about the mask on Instagram a couple nights ago, but today I'm going to share a few more details here.
Like the name implies, this is a two step mask. The mask set is designed to brighten and soothe one's complexion.
The first step is an aha peeling swab that "draws out unwanted dead skin cells and blackheads which soothes the overall complexion."
While the second step is a sheet mask saturated with a jelly essence providing "calming, moisturizing, and firming results to the skin."
Where In My Routine Does This Fit?
Normally I use sheet masks after my serums and ampoules to help everything absorb better before I seal it all in with a moisturizer or sleeping pack - but because this mask included an exfoliating step I used it after cleansing and toning my skin, and used a sleeping pack afterwards.
Step 1: Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Lactic Acid, Glycerin, Potassiom Hydroxide, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Chamomoilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Glyceryl Caprylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Salicylic Acid, Disodium EDTA.
Step 2: Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Sikane, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Buthylene Glycol, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Polyacrylic Acid, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Dimethicone, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Glyceryl Caprylate, Potassium Hydroxide, Cellulose Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Rosa Damascena Flower Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Extract, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance.
My Skin Type:
To get an idea of how this product might work for you, it may be helpful to know what my skin is like when reading my thoughts about the performance of this product. My skin is combination (normal/oily with a couple dry patches) and acne prone. I have minimal fine lines under my eyes, hyper-pigmentation from acne scarring and sun damage, and am sensitive to alcohol.
This mask comes in traditional mask packaging - which is a large foil envelope that you tear open. The swab is also encased in a foil enveloped, which is separately attached to the mask by a perforated line that you can tear apart.
I didn't notice much of a scent with the first step - the swab smelled like a typical aha liquid, which has a slight iron smell to me. The second step, which is the mask, had a pretty non-descript "fresh" scent to it. I did not find it overwhelming, which I note because often times strong scents cause migraines for me, but instead found the light scent to be very calming and relaxing as it slowly faded over a few minutes.
The Good:
Starting out I fairly satisfied with the pH of ~3.5 that the aha swab brings. In my past experiences single-use swabs like this tend to have a higher pH of around 4 or 5, which doesn't really help out all that much in terms of chemical exfoliation, and tend to rely more on alcohol to get your skin to "peel." After rubbing the swab on my face, I noticed a few tiny clogs had gotten pushed out of my pores so I felt pretty good about that too.
The mask included plenty of essence, and I liked that the essence was like a thick gel - I was able to really get a nice layer of jelly onto the mask that slowly absorbed as it melted against my skin.
I was also able to see a noticeable brightened calming effect after I had removed the mask, which I was grateful for considering how red, dry, and irritated my skin had been previously.
The Not So Good:
I wasn't too pleased to see alcohol in the aha swab, but surprisingly it didn't sting or dry out my face at all. I thought that the mask material was a bit stiff and bunched up a lot - but thankfully the thick jelly held the mask itself into place pretty well.
I received this complimentary from Cupidrop to review, but they sell the mask on their site currently for $6 each. For a daily masker like myself this price is a bit high, but for occasional use this is a decent value for the brightening effect I received.
Would I Repurchase?
Maybe. This mask set wasn't a "must have" for me, but I did enjoy it and found it did a great job brightening up my complexion.
I do think the price is a bit high, like I mentioned above, but if my skin was looking dull before a special event and I wanted to brighten and calm my skin I'd definitely use this again.

J. Mark Scearce has been named the recipient of the eighth Raymond and Beverly Sackler Music Composition Prize. The competition, organized by the University of Connecticut's School of Fine Arts, supports and promotes composers and the performance of their new musical works. An international award, the prize offers a substantial recognition including public performances, recordings, and a prize of $20,000. Each year, entrants are asked to compose a piece for a specific area of the musical arts, chosen by the head and other faculty of the music department, such as a jazz ensemble, choir, opera, wind ensemble, or solo instrument. This year's prize was for a Concerto for Cello and Orchestra.
J. Mark Scearce is the director of the music department at North Carolina State University. The recipient of five advanced degrees in music, philosophy, and religion, including a doctorate in music composition from Indiana University, Scearce previously served on the music faculties of the Universities of Hawaii, North Texas, and Southern Maine. With fifty active titles in his catalog, including musical settings of more than 120 texts, Scearce's many works for orchestra, band, chorus, opera, chamber, and ballet have been performed throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. His wide-ranging interests have led him to compose works inspired by contemporary issues and spiritual concerns. This Thread, a setting of Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison's poem "The Dead of September 11," was premiered by Orchestra Nashville in 2004, and Gaea's Lament for solo cello was heard at a symposium on global climate change in 2007. Scearce currently has seven works commercially available on compact disc on the Albany, Delos, Warner Bros, Capstone, Centaur, and Equilibrium labels, and on a Sony 4-channel SACD (available online at frystreetquartet.com).
| Past Sackler Prize Composition Winners:
2008 (Piano Concerto) Nathan Currier
Scearce was chosen from among 60 entries from 10 countries and 18 states. Among the finalists were composers Kristen Kuster (from Ann Arbor, Michigan) and Peter Child (from Wellesley, Massachusetts). The prize was established through a gift from Raymond and Beverly Sackler, major philanthropists and frequent donors to the university. The Sacklers fund several important initiatives at the School of Fine Arts, including an artist-in-residence program, the Master Artists and Scholars Institute, and the Art and Archeology Lecture Series. The Sacklers were also instrumental in forging an academic partnership between the Metropolitan Opera and UConn, the first collaboration of its kind between the opera company and an institution of higher learning. In addition to the fine arts programs, the Sacklers fund many other initiatives at UConn. The 2007 adjudication panel was comprised of Robert Bernhardt, Geraldo Dirié, and David Tomatz.(—Condensed from the press release)

John Page
John Page of Greenport and New Suffolk died Nov. 18 at The Shores at Peconic Landing in Greenport.
Since taking up residence on the North Fork in 1985, John was an active and generous supporter of New Suffolk Civic Association, Save Brecknock Hall Committee, Cutchogue New Suffolk Library, Peconic Land Trust, Group for the East End, Peconic Baykeeper and New Suffolk Waterfront Fund.
He moved to Peconic Landing with his life partner, Joe McKay, shortly after it opened in 2002, and spent 13 happy years as a member of what he called "an extraordinary community of people."
In the words of his many friends, John was "a gentle man and a gentleman," "one of the most generous people imaginable," "possessed of great intelligence and a rapier wit that took people by surprise and left them laughing," "a knock-out handsome guy!" and "giving of his financial management talents to anyone who needed help." He was an avid reader, hiker, skier, gardener, and University of North Carolina sports fan.
John was born in Rocky Mount, N.C, on Nov. 25, 1932. He graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1955, served in the U.S. Army in the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) and joined JPMorgan in New York City in 1957, where he spent his career in pension fund management.
John recently established "The Clara Allsbrook Page and Harvey Lee Page Scholarships" at UNC-Chapel Hill to honor his parents; the fund will support up to nine scholars who will receive financial awards equal to tuition and fees.
In addition to his partner, Joe, and their beloved black Lab mix, "Ruby," John is survived by his older brothers, Harvey of Pikeville, Ky., Robert of Winter Park, Fla., and William of Washington, N.C.; by his younger sister, Ann, of Elm City, N.C.; and by nine nieces and nephews.
"Thank You for Being" … Sharing the Life of John Page" will take place Saturday, Dec. 5, at 2:30 p.m. at the Peconic Landing auditorium in Greenport. A memorial service at Chapel Hill, N.C., will be held in January and a celebration of John's life will also be held in New Suffolk next spring.
Memorial donations in John's honor may be made to New Suffolk Waterfront Fund (newsuffolkwaterfront.org), Peconic Land Trust (peconiclandtrust.org), or to Peconic Landing Community Fund.
This is a paid notice.

June 16, 2016 (LBO) – The prospect of Britain leaving the European Union is boosting demand for safe haven assets, with bond yields falling to new lows, as the Fed suggests that low yields could be a more longer term phenomenon.
Benchmark 10-year yields are plunging across the globe. Japan fell to minus 0.21 percent. Australia fell below 2 percent, and Germany below zero. Switzerland's 30-year security offers the nation's only positive yield at 0.027 percent, Bloomberg reported.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen fueled moves saying slow productivity growth and aging societies may keep interest rates at depressed levels.
U.S. 10-year yields fell two basis points to 1.55 percent as of 11:23 a.m. in Tokyo. The yield is within 20 basis points of the record low, and is more than 100 basis points lower than the average forecast from analysts on Dec. 31 for it to stand at 2.60 percent by June 30.
South Korea's bonds rose, sending 10-year yields down three basis points to an unprecedented 1.59 percent.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen seems to be coming around to what her one-time rival, Lawrence Summers, has been arguing for a while: Some of the forces holding down interest rates may be long-lasting and secular.
On Wednesday, she pointed to more permanent forces that could depress rates for longer, namely, slow productivity growth and aging societies, in the U.S. and throughout much of the world.
In a press conference after the Fed held policy steady, Yellen spoke of a sense that rates may be depressed by "factors that are not going to be rapidly disappearing, but will be part of the new normal."
Summers, who was in the running to get the Fed job before losing out to Yellen in 2013, has been contending for several years that the U.S. and other industrial countries are mired in "secular stagnation" of scant economic growth.
A key component of his argument: An excess supply of savings and a paucity of demand is depressing equilibrium interest rates in the advanced world, making it difficult for central banks to ease credit enough to lift growth and inflation.
In a blog posting Tuesday, former Treasury Secretary Summers likened the Fed's actions in recent month to "Groundhog Day." It keeps poking its head up hoping to raise interest rates only to back away in the end.

Agency To Consider Alaska Lake Seals As Threatened
The Associated Press
A federal agency says it will consider a petition seeking to list a population of harbor seals living in a freshwater Alaska lake as a threatened or endangered species.
The National Marine Fisheries Service says it has accepted a Center for Biological Diversity petition to list seals that live in Iliamna Lake 200 miles southwest of Anchorage.
The agency has a Nov. 19 deadline to perform a status review of the seals, estimated to number 250 to 350 adults. The agency can propose a listing or reject it.
A listing would present a potential environmental hurdle to the Pebble Mine.
The proposed open-pit copper and gold mine would require a 140-mile road to Cook Inlet. About 50 miles would pass along the lake shore, where seals hunt for salmon.

Lori Townsend, APRN – Anchorage
Alaska is celebrating 100 years of aviation this year. And aviator Stu Ramstad is an important part of that history. He grew up in a gold mining family. And became a pilot at age 14 in 1954. He says he didn't goof off in the air. He considered the plane a tool that you loaded up and used to deliver supplies. But he told APRN's Lori Townsend, he did have scary times as a pilot and survived two in-flight fires.

text: Abrahamic / Middle Eastern Christianity Bible Verses for Labor Day Be Encouraged With Uplifting Scriptures for Working People Share Flipboard Email Print Getty Images / Reynold Mainse Christianity The Bible Christianity Origins The New Testament The Old Testament Practical Tools for Christians Christian Life For Teens Christian Prayers Weddings Inspirational Bible Devotions Denominations of Christianity Funerals and Memorial Services Christian Holidays Christian Entertainment Key Terms in Christianity Catholicism Latter Day Saints View More By Mary Fairchild Christianity Expert General Biblical Studies, Interdenominational Christian Training Center Mary Fairchild is a full-time Christian minister, writer, and editor of two Christian anthologies, including "Stories of Cavalry." our editorial process Facebook Facebook Twitter Twitter Mary Fairchild Updated August 20, 2018 To enjoy gratifying work is truly a blessing. But for many people, their labor is a source of great aggravation and discouragement. When our employment circumstances are far from ideal, it's easy to forget that God sees our earnest efforts and promises to reward our labor. These uplifting Labor Day Bible verses are meant to encourage you in your work while you celebrate the holiday weekend. 13 Bible Verses for Celebrating Labor Day Moses was a herdsman, David was a shepherd, Luke a doctor, Paul a tent maker, Lydia a merchant, and Jesus a carpenter. Humans have labored all throughout history. We must make a living while making a life for ourselves and our families. God wants us to work. In fact, he commands it, but we must also take time for honoring the Lord, cultivating our families, and resting from our labor: Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. (Exodus 20:8-10, ESV) When we give generously, cheerfully, and spontaneously, the Lord promises to bless us in all of our work and everything we do: Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. (Deuteronomy 15:10, NIV) Hard work is often taken for granted. We ought to be thankful, joyful even, for our labor, because God blesses us with the fruit of that labor to provide for our needs: You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be! (Psalm 128:2, NLT) There is nothing more rewarding than enjoying what God gives us. Our work is a gift from God and we ought to look for ways to find pleasure in it: So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is our lot in life. And no one can bring us back to see what happens after we die. ( Ecclesiastes 3:22, NLT) This verse encourages believers to put more effort into gathering spiritual food, which has far more eternal value than the work we do: Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval. (John 6:27, NIV) Our attitude at work matters to God. Even if your boss doesn't deserve it, work as though God is your boss. Christians ought to be model employees. Whether or not the boss is observing your work, and even if your co-workers are difficult to deal with, do your best to be an example at work: ...and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; (1 Corinthians 4:12, ESV) Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. (Colossians 3:23, LT) God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. (Hebrews 6:10, NIV) Work has benefits we may not realize. It's good for us. It provides us with a way of taking care of our families and our own needs. It allows us to contribute to society and to others in need. Our labors make it possible for us to support the church and kingdom work. And it keeps us out of trouble: Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. (Ephesians 4:28, ESV) ...and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, (1 Thessalonians 4:11, NIV) That is why we labor and strive because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe. (1 Timothy 4:10, NIV) God's Word teaches that prosperity is a tremendous blessing that comes by working hard rather than by chasing dreams and schemes. Christians who are capable of working should never sponge off others or shrink from work. Believers are responsible to provide for themselves and their families: For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat." (2 Thessalonians 3:10, NIV) A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense. (Proverbs 12:11, NLT)

Good Morning: Spice Muffins at ABC Kitchen
When in the area, I often make it a point to drop by ABC Kitchen and pick up a Spice Muffin ($3) to go in the cafe area. It's a stout muffin, moist and outfitted in a crunchy oat-kissed streusel topping, fragrant with cinnamon and nutmeg. Don't expect a light, fluffy muffin, as this is more on the dense side—hearty, and fantastically satisfying when taken home, split, popped in the toaster oven and generously slathered with softened butter.

We'll Always Have Lake Placid
This morning at our CrossFit gym, we did some crazy-ass, modified 4-station, 3-round Fight Gone Bad thing. (For definition of CrossFit Terms, see here – and while you're there, check out some of the hero workouts.)
At each station, you did as many repetitions of the exercise as possible in one minute, then moved to the next station. After you hit all four in four minutes, you rested for one minute and did it all over again, and then again! The stations were the push-press (a personal weakness and therefore something I had worked on during warm-ups just prior to reading the WOD on the whiteboard – that'll teach me), sit-ups, dumbbell clean and squats, and a 10-lb. slam ball.
So I used the empty bar. So what? My arms were tired, I tell ya, and 45 lbs. is nothing to sneeze at when you have one functionally incompetent arm! Then I did sit-ups with the ABMAT, clean and squats with 20 lb. dumbbells, and then slammed the slam ball. Frankly, for reasons I don't even care to explore, I usually find the slam ball inordinately fun. But after two rounds I could barely get the ball up to my head. With a little encouragement and some reminders to breathe, I finished all three rounds.
Wow! That was fun.
But the title of my post refers to the healthy competition I have going with my husband who joined me in this morning's workout. Happily, we were not partners because that might not have worked out so well as we both forgot the steps involved in a clean and squat. You see, first, there's the clean (getting the weight to your shoulders), then, there's the squat. As simple as that seems, neither of us seemed to be able to remember it in real time. (Hypoxia'll do that, said my trusty teammate, Tim, who modeled what I was supposed to be doing as he counted off my reps.) In turn, I just jeered at Stephen when he forgot. (Tim is clearly a better man than I.)
When we totalled the reps I came in at 223 and Stephen a mere 222. Oh well. If he had only known, he assured me, he would have been able to pull off another repetition of something!
On the way home he said, "It's Lake Placid all over again." It took me a while to rolodex through my scant Lake Placid connections: 1980s USA Hockey Team? Bad horror flick? Ah-ha! That time we shot a fake biathlon rifle at an old Olympic site and I hit 5/5 targets and he hit 4/5!

Beautiful Japanese Towels "Shirayuki Fukin"
I am VERY happy to announce that now the beautiful Japanese dishcloth/towel "shirayuki fukin" is officially a part of the main items at UGUiSU! The shirayuki fukin dishcloth is really marvelous once I started using it I cannot use anything else and they have been my favourite for a long time. I would love many people to actually try and feel why Shirayuki fukin is so wonderful
See the whole range HERE.
What is Shirayuki Fukin??
"Shirayuki-fukin" literally means "white snow towels" and they are VERY popular in Japan. They come from Nara, an ancient capital city of Ja
pan near Kyoto, and they are made of a fabric that was once woven into mosquito nets called "kaya". These cloths are very soft, durable and absorbent and are perfect for using as dish cloths and wash/hand towels. Over time, the cloths become really soft and supple, and eventually they make great rags.

Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 3 days on 28 April 2050 at 22:08.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1774" and ∠1903".
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2050 after 4 days on 6 May 2050 at 22:26.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 10 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 622 of Meeus index or 1575 from Brown series.
Length of current 622 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 25 minutes. It is 1 hour and 6 minutes shorter than next lunation 623 length.
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 19 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 50 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠41.9°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠69.6°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
1 day after point of apogee on 30 April 2050 at 15:11 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 13 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 15 May 2050 at 15:45 in ♓ Pisces.
Moon is 404 089 km (251 089 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 13 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 369 166 km (229 389 mi).
9 days after its descending node on 22 April 2050 at 19:31 in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 4 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 7 May 2050 at 06:21 in ♏ Scorpio.
22 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
7 days after previous North standstill on 24 April 2050 at 21:53 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠20.497°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-20.489° in the next southern standstill on 9 May 2050 at 09:11 in ♐ Sagittarius.
After 4 days on 6 May 2050 at 22:26 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

Doesn't everyone pursue happiness and best possible for him life? Isn't freedom a big and beautiful value and right of everyone?
I'm a big fan of freedom. I'm simplifying my life and changing my worldview and habits to get as much freedom as I can.
For a few years I've been observing. I've been reading about people's experiences, their worldviews and lifestyle experiments. They were people that had given up the beaten path of city work-debt-shop life.
This way I've found two different, even opposite lifestyles that can serve freedom seekers. Though none of them gives hundred percent independence.
Here are short descriptions.
Best lifestyles for freedom seekers
Mobile lifestyle
Being a traveller in your own car/campervan/motorhome. Earning money on the internet or using your skills in places where you stay.
+ You become location free. You can choose where you live: climate or language, or landscapes.
+ You can become free of income tax, if you stay less than six months in one country (applies to most countries).
– But you depend on people and businesses providing water, food, electricity and other things or services you want to use.
– You depend on fuel providers, car mechanics and car parts retailers.
– You depend also on money: on clients, maybe on internet connection.
Self-sufficient lifestyle
Being a agriculturalist on a piece of land. Using soil to grow your own food. Getting your own water from your well.
+ You become free of shops – water and food suppliers.
+ You can try to be free of money.
– But you're dependent on the land, the place. In case of natural disaster or war, you can stay (stressed, unsafe, not free) or run away – losing your freedom by losing the soil that used to feed you.

6 I marvel that you are so quickly being turned from the one who called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel; 7 which is not another; except there are some troubling you and are desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel to you besides that which we preached to you, let him be a curse. (Galatians 1:6-8 Possessing the Treasure New Testament v1)
John Bunyan compared the life of faith to a pilgrimage in his masterpiece, Pilgrim's Progress. On the other hand, the Apostle Paul often compares our life of faith with a race. In my younger days I was a long distance runner. I competed into my late 40's in the Corporate Challenge and prior to that I was a member of the Oklahoma City Running Club and ran in who knows how many 5k, 10k, 5-mile and even 10-mile races in and around the OKC area. I knew all about what it took to be a good runner on race day. If I didn't prepare right then I couldn't race well. If I didn't put in the miles in training to run in a 10 mile race then I certainly couldn't run in that race on race day without problems. Our life of faith can be compared in many ways to a race. Paul used it figuratively that way in Galatians 2:2, Romans 9:16, and 1 Corinthians 9:24.
I can remember lining up on race day at the starting line for a long race and it was often very easy to tell those who I was going to pass about two or three miles into it as they struggled with their pace and were obviously in way over their head and were not well prepared. They would crowd the start line and race away at the gun like it was a sprint. I often picked those fellas off on hills as they struggled up the incline gasping for air and we weren't yet half way through the race.
7 You were running well; who hindered you by persuading you to place no confidence in the truth? 8 This persuasion is not of the one who calls you. 9 A little leaven leavens all the lump. 10 I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will take no other view, but the one troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be. 11 But I, brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. 12 I would that the ones troubling you will emasculate themselves. 13 For you were called for freedom, brothers, only use not the freedom for a pretext for the flesh, but serve one another through love as slaves. 14 For the entire law has been summed up in one statement, "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." 15 But if you bite and devour one another beware lest by one another you are destroyed. (Galatians 5:7-15 Possessing the Treasure New Testament v1)
Paul asks the question with reflection about how well the Galatians began their race. They were running well. They had a good beginning. They had received the gospel message by faith and begun to live their Christian lives by faith as well. However, just as most young Christians want, they wanted to do all they could to draw as close as they could to their Lord. Then someone new comes along and tells them that they can have more. They can remain in Christ just as they are and have more of God by being more religious or more spiritual or et cetera. In this case it was Judiazers telling them to conform to the Mosaic covenant, but look how Paul describes it in v7. Here is the Greek, "Ἐτρέχετε καλῶς· τίς ὑμᾶς ἐνέκοψεν [τῇ] ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι;". The verb "hindered" translates ἐνέκοψεν (enekopsen), "hinder, detain", the aorist, indicative, active case of ἐγκόπτω (enkoptō). This is a description of someone coming out onto the racecourse and doing something to impede the runner. What did the Judiazers do to impede the running of the Galatians in their life of faith? I think a lot of modern Bible translations miss this by trying to make v7 more readable. The Greek literally says, "You were running well, who hindered you by the truth not to be persuaded." I translated v7 as, "You were running well; who hindered you by persuading you to place no confidence in the truth?" The Judiazers were all about causing those they deceived into losing confidence in justification by grace alone through faith alone as God's gift alone as their only hope. Instead, they held out that thing all people want in and of themselves, the ability to earn it.
Paul reiterates this in v8 by saying that that "persuasion" is not of the one who calls you. No, it is an appeal to the flesh and the call of the genuine gospel will NEVER be an appeal to the flesh to do some work or improve oneself or whatever. No, we are called by God and saved as a gift by his grace through faith. In v9 Paul calls the message of works righteousness that was coming from the Judiazers leaven that was leaving the whole lump. That means that it was sin even though it looked very religious.
I like v10 and I agree with Paul's assessment. I firmly believe that no matter how bad or prevalent false teaching gets, our Lord will preserve his elect. Yes, the immature may suffer and stumble and have to go through periods of fiery trials and repentance. Most of us can testify to that in our own lives. The fact that I am still a solid Christian after all of what God has allowed in my life since 1986 when he had mercy on me is a miracle of his sustaining grace. However, those who attack us and attempt to derail our walk, hinder our race of faith, to move us from the truth, et cetera; these people Paul declares that they will bear their judgment. That means they are unsaved people still bearing the burden of their sins.
In v11 Paul gives us a clue that the Judiazers had falsely claimed that Paul agreed with their teaching. However, he makes the point that if he was in agreement with them and was preaching circumcision as necessary for salvation, why were they still persecuting him instead of supporting him? The stumbling block of the cross is the offer of salvation that strips man of the opportunity to earn it by his own merit. This stumbling block is what breeds opposition. It did in Paul's day and still does in our day (Romans 9:33).
I think v12 is one of the reasons that liberals and those who are Biblically ignorant have a dislike for Paul. He is decidedly not politically correct. He would or wishes that the Judiazers would emasculate themselves. This Greek word was often used of castration, such as in the cult of Cybele, whose priests were self-made eunuchs. Paul's ironic point is that since the Judiazers were so insistent on circumcision as a means of pleasing God, they should go to the extreme of religious devotion and castrate themselves.
Notice that Paul used that sort of language for those who were attacking the gospel and causing problems within the Church. However, for those in the Church, the message is totally the opposite. Carefully read vv13-15. As Christians obeying our Lord in all parts of our lives, running the race of faith his way, we are free, but not as an opportunity to indulge the flesh, but to serve one another through love. Love fulfills the law. There is absolutely no reason to try to keep the Mosaic covenant as a Christian. However, we are to obey our Lord's commandments.
My brethren, continue running the race with your eyes fixed on the prize. There will always be those seeking to hinder you and distract you from the path. This is why we must abide in Christ and learn to grow and mature in him.
Soli Deo Gloria!

After two-and-a-half years and 2,110 U.S. troop fatalities, the Bush administration released what it calls a "National Strategy for Victory in Iraq" (NSVI). The problem is, it's not a new strategy for success in Iraq; it's a public relations document. The strategy describes what has transpired in Iraq to date as a resounding success and stubbornly refuses to establish any standards for accountability. It dismisses serious problems such as the dramatic increase in bombings as "metrics that the terrorists and insurgents want the world to use." Americans understand it's time for a new course in Iraq. Unfortunately, this document is little more than an extended justification for a President "determined to stay his course."
NO STANDARDS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY: Two weeks ago, the Senate overwhelmingly endorsed an amendment calling on the Bush administration to provide a "schedule" for meeting U.S. objectives in Iraq, "information regarding variables that could alter that schedule, and the reasons for any subsequent changes to that schedule." The NSVI completely rejects this call. "We will not put a date certain on when each stage of success will be reached," the document states in bold and italicized print, "because the timing of success depends upon meeting certain conditions, not arbitrary timetables." The only time frames proposed for achieving U.S. objectives are virtually meaningless phrases: "short term," "medium term," and "longer term." The goals for these time frames are equally ambiguous; the so-called "short term" goals, for instance, are listed as "making steady progress in fighting terrorists, meeting political milestones, building democratic institutions, and standing up security forces."IGNORING KEY CHALLENGES: When decorated veteran Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA) presented his Iraq plan two weeks ago, he offered two primary reasons for supporting redeployment. One was the heavy burden the Iraq war has placed on the U.S. military and its recruitment and retention efforts, many of which are at historically low levels. The second was the shifting sentiments of the Iraqi population; Murtha cited a recent poll that found "over 80 percent of Iraqis are strongly opposed to the presence of coalition troops, and about 45 percent of the Iraqi population believe attacks against American troops are justified." The NSVI ignores both of these fundamental facts. Virtually nothing is said about the well-being of our military, unquestionably a vital element in any strategy for success. Moreover, it disregards the latest Iraqi public opinion data, stating falsely that violence "has been discredited within and outside Iraq."
DISMISSING INCREASED VIOLENCE: The NSVI emphasizes that U.S. officials "track numerous indicators to map the progress of our strategy," and offers websites where some of these reports are publicly available. "Americans can read and assess these reports to get a better sense of what is being done in Iraq and the progress being made on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis." The problem is that these reports have on numerous occasions been found to be inaccurate, or to overstate progress using incomplete or misleading data. Additionally, the document states (in bold print) that these Pentagon statistics "have more strategic significance than the metrics that the terrorists and insurgents want the world to use as a measure of progress or failure: number of bombings." Surely one needs a wide assortment of statistics to get the full picture from Iraq. But considering the No. 1 "Strategic Pillar" listed in the NSVI is to "Defeat the Terrorists and Neutralize the Insurgency," it is simply not true to claim that the number of insurgent bombings (now at an all-time high) is irrelevant as a measure of progress.
REPLACING METRICS WITH EMPTY PHRASES: In late-September, Gen. George Casey Jr., who oversees U.S. forces in Iraq, revealed that "[t]he number of Iraqi army battalions that can fight insurgents without U.S. and coalition help has dropped from three to one." That meant only 700 Iraq Security forces were rated as "Level 1" on the four point scale created by the U.S. military. Instead of addressing the problem, they've abandoned the ratings system. The NSVI notes that "now more than 120 Iraqi army and police battalions are in the fight." (The term "in the fight," used six times in the document, is not defined.) The strategy also notes: "As of November 2005, there were more than 212,000 trained and equipped Iraqi Security Forces, compared with 96,000 in September of last year." It fails to mention that in Feburary 2004, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld claimed there were 210,000 members of the Iraqi Security Forces and a "thousand more that are currently in training."
THE NATIONAL PAT ON THE BACK: The NSIV is less of a strategy and more of a pat on the back. Much of the 35 pages is devoted to describing how well things are going. Oddly, the strategy declares on Page 5 that "Our Strategy Is Working." On the economic front we are told, "Our restore, reform, build, strategy is achieving results." On the political front: "Our Isolate, Engage, and Build strategy is working." On the security front: "Our clear, hold, and build strategy is working." With everything going so well, the NSVI reminds us that "change is coming to the region…From Kuwait to Morocco, Jordan, and Egypt, there are stirrings of political pluralism, often for the first time in generations."

…then we take the moose. We all know that thanks to the Swedish Chef. I thought about that sketch for half a year. And then we had a few weeks of vacation.
I originally made the moose for yoga teacher Beth, but it seemed easier to make a lot of them, so here they are. I set about to make two dozen cupcakes. It took roughly 9 hours, and transportation proved an even bigger problem. My sister stole a cupcake, and I had only had 19 moose, so in the end, that's how many cupcakes we ended up with.
The first 3 (barely set, not even properly gift-wrapped) were for Beth, she taught us yoga for a few weeks while Marco was on holiday, and she's the best. Then a fuckload (10 of them) traveled to Wageningen for some of our best friends, who'd organized a barbecue. I hadn't seen the kids in 3 years, so it seemed appropriate. We ate the last ones for dessert the next day, and then our adopted fifth family-member arrived safely from Mexico so he got the very last one.
Oh yeah, and two frozen moose will travel to Marco's refrigerator, as a welcome-back present. I sandwiched them tightly into a few containers so they wouldn't lose their antlers. It's very difficult to keep the antlers in, I fear Marco will be getting injured moose. I ate another injured one myself, and my sister mutilated one by biting its head of then smearing the cake all over the couch.
The cakes are your basic chocolate cupcake from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. I overfilled the liners a bit to get the desired "mountain".
The frosting for the eyes and snow is fluffy vegan buttercream, the moose chocolate fluffy buttercream, and the antlers and pupils are plain Vivani couverture melted and piped.
The antlers are easy. Put the melted chocolate in a bag with the corner cut off (make a tiny, tiny hole, otherwise you have a problem), draw a line and three dots along that line to create a basic antler-form on parchment paper. For the eyes: FIRST make a lot of whites, then pipe a drop of Vivani onto that. If you make those separate and have to get the drops onto the whites, well, let's just say I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It takes a toothpick and way too much determination and care. It will mess with your mind. Don't ask me how I know.
During the entire process you're going to have to freeze or refrigerate an awful lot, because as soon as you touch anything for longer than a second, it's going to melt or go soft. But it's a lot more doable than you'd think given the end result.

Italy Coach Cesare Prandelli has given his prediction on the Milan derby. "Whoever wins gets very close to the Scudetto."
Only two points separate Milan and Inter at the top of the table going into Saturday night's San Siro showdown.
"Whoever wins the Milan derby gets very close to the Scudetto," said Azzurri boss Prandelli.
"The victor will have a much better chance of taking the title, but right now their odds are 50-50."
Meanwhile, Prandelli has won the first edition of the Enzo Bearzot Award for his "moral qualities and ethical values in his club management career and now with the Nazionale."

One kind of food is responsible for 50 percent of all foodborne illnesses -- and it's not raw meat
Just when you thought dairy and raw meat were more likely to get you sick, it turns out that produce may actually be the biggest culprit.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, produce is the culprit for about 50 percent of all foodborne illnesses. However, meat and poultry are only involved in about 22 percent of the cases, in comparison.
Recent research from the FDA has proven the risk unwashed produce can do for your health.
In one experiment, the Food and Drug Administration tested the bacteria existing in avocados and guacamole, later determining that E. coli and Salmonella were present in most of the samples. Furthermore, three out of the four subjects that tested positive for listeria came from domestic suppliers.
RELATED: Food poisoning risks
"The FDA also tested processed avocados and guacamole, because they're low-acidic and pack a high moisture content, which make them ripe environments for bacteria to flourish," explained Moneyish. Frequently, packaged avocado, whether frozen or fresh cut, does not undergo a "kill step" -- washing or cooking to kill bacteria -- before being consumed.
As a result, the CDC reported that there were 12 outbreaks of foodborne illnesses due to avocados from 2005 to 2015. Three of those outbreaks involved E. Coli, and nine Salmonella.
According to the FDA, herbs such as basil, parsley and cilantro were also responsible for many of the foodborne bacteria outbreaks. From 1996 to 2015, the FDA reported nearly 2700 illnesses due to nine foodborne outbreaks from these herbs.
Explained the study, "These herbs are also often eaten as part of multi-ingredient foods, and thus people may not report having eaten them when they become ill." However, like avocados, these herbs are often eaten or used in food without having undergone a "kill step."
Yet, food experts believe that this FDA testing has barely scratched the surface. "These are still relatively small samples they have tested, and they are going to test thousands," explained Dr. Philip Tierno of NYU School of Medicine.
And with about half of foodborne illnesses happening at home, Tierno says that taking necessary precautions against these illnesses are important. Washing your hands, cleaning the produce and pat drying it with a paper towel can help prevent sickness.
