In order to enhance the unbanked, Telangana, India, has partnered with Cognito Technologies, a UK-based startup, to offer credit ratings to the population.
Speaking of the initiative, the co-founder of Cognito technologies, Murali Muhan Duvvuru said that:
"In phase 1, the entire process of disbursement of loans and repayments will be recorded on the Blockchain registries using smart contracts.After this, the individual credit rating will be derived from the transactions recorded and filed on Blockchain and the persons will be made aware of their credit score. "
Cognito Technologies to create the office in India
Following the agreement, Cognito Technologies is ready to set up an office in Hyderabad, India, in January and employ 15 staff members. It will work with Sthree Nidhi Credit Cooperative Federation Ltd, a government branch offering credits at affordable prices to self-help groups in the country.
According to Duvvuru, so how is Sthree Nidhi already has a working digital system, so they will only need to integrate the blockchain under that technology to help find an effective way to establish a person's credit history.
Pilot project to include 10,000 members of the self-help group
The pilot project will bring together 10,000 members of various self-help groups in the country, but transactions will begin to be recorded in the April blockchain of this year. This phase should last from two to three months, after which the interested parties will decide whether to increase it or not.
As with Duvvuru, even those with a good credit score can benefit from the project as they can now leverage their credit ratings to access cheaper loans they would have obtained from the banks.
Speaking about the project and its implementation, Jayesh Ranjan, the chief secretary of Telangana IT and industries, stated that:
"In the case of the SHGs, the institutional framework has been developed very carefully through two decades of hard work in Telangana.The credibility of this structure is very strong and therefore many deliveries such as loans and welfare schemes take place through this channel. a fraud or a series fraud did not occur in Telangana, the possibility of weakening the system due to some unscrupulous people who take advantage of it is always present and can affect the credibility of the system.Therefore, Blockchain is the most appropriate tool to implement here.

Real-World Tests of Renal Diets Veterinarians are following a study published in the
Real-World Tests of Renal Diets
Veterinarians are following a study published in theJournal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (Vol. 229, No. 6) as “Clinical evaluation of dietary modification for treatment of spontaneous chronic kidney disease in cats.”
The cats in the study, which was run by veterinary researchers at the University of Minnesota and the University of Tennessee, already had life-threatening chronic kidney disease. And the cats owners participated voluntarily in the two-year feeding study. Half of the sick cats got renal diets and half continued to eat so-called maintenance diets for adult cats.
Feline renal diets typically are lower in several dietary constituents protein, phosphorus, sodium and lipids compared to maintenance diets. The study, sponsored by Hill’s pet food company, utilized a commercially available renal diet designed for cats.
At the end of two years, the researchers had this report: “The renal diet evaluated in this study was superior to an adult maintenance diet in minimizing uremic episodes and renal-related death in cats with spontaneous stage 2 or 3 chronic renal disease.”
The experiment also confirmed an earlier finding in an unrelated study: Regardless of whether cats with kidney disease eat maintenance diets or renal diets, reducing caloric intake helps their long-term health.
Cats and Cataracts
Why do dogs and people have more vision-blocking cataracts than cats do? Is there something special about the lenses in cats eyes?
British researchers set out to answer that question, and reported preliminary conclusions in the journalVeterinary Ophthalmology (Vol. 9, No. 5), in an article titled “Prevalence of feline cataract: results of a cross-sectional study of 2,000 normal animals, 50 cats with diabetes and 100 cats following dehydration crises.” By “dehydration crises,” they meant bouts of chronic renal failure, diarrhea or vomiting that had required intravenous fluids in the previous 12 months.
Some study results surprised practically no one: Diabetic cats and cats that had suffered from dehydration crises were more likely to develop cataracts. But another finding was surprising to the researchers, if not to observant owners of older cats: “The prevalence of cataracts in the general feline population increases with age, and . . . by the age of 17 years all cats were affected with some degree of lens opacity.”
After staring into hundreds of cats eyes, the scientists admitted they had failed to solve the original puzzle: “What it is in the cat lens that delays the onset of age-related cataract.” Any additional information, they said, might help humans with aging eyes.
So far, however, cats are keeping that secret to themselves.
Five-Star Cat Boarding
A recent issue ofPet Services Journal recommends “five cat calmers” to look for in a boarding facility that will minimize trauma to its guests:
- A soundproof cat area where sensitive feline ears arent troubled by barking dogs.
- Soothing music, such as mellow jazz or classical music.
- No more than two different people caring for the guests, because “cats dont like change.”
- An “environment of comfort” with fluffy towels, changed daily.
- Conversation in a calm, quiet voice. v

Fed makes boldest move yet
The central bank plans to buy debt directly from companies for the first time in decades.
The Federal Reserve is now stepping in where financiers fear to tread.
In its latest move to unlock the credit markets, the nation's central banker said Tuesday it will take the extremely unusual step of buying short-term debt directly from America's largest corporations, such as GE, ExxonMobil, and Bank of America.
The Fed effort is one of the most dramatic – and potentially riskiest – steps Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Fed, has taken in the past month in his effort to get credit flowing again through the economy. He is effectively pushing the Fed into the middle of the private market for short-term corporate loans, known as commercial paper. If it works, companies will have the loans they need to make payrolls and pay bills. If it doesn't, taxpayers could be on the hook for loans that aren't backed by any tangible assets.
The bold measure illustrates the seriousness with which the Fed chairman views the current credit crisis.

August Burns Red is currently touring the United States celebrating the ten year anniversary of their album “Messengers”. The Metal band from Lancaster, PA formed in 2003 and has quickly become one of the biggest names in the modern metal scene.
The tour made a stop Friday at the House of Blues in Orlando.
Their set consisted of the entire “Messengers” album followed by a six song encore including a drum solo/battle between drummer Matt Greiner and Bassist Dustin Davidson and various other songs from their more recent albums. The crowd was insanely energetic the entire night with a constant flow of crowd surfers (that started not 30 seconds into the first song) and a circle pit in the middle of the floor of the Orlando House of Blues that never stopped. The audience was so dynamic and aggressive (for good reasons) that the photographers were kicked out of the photo pit after the first song and a half due to too many crowd surfers. For those who are unaware of how a typical concert photographer works, we get the first three songs of each band to stand in between the barricade and the stage (which just so happens to also be the same area crowd surfers land) to take photos.
If I’m being honest, I went into this show not knowing what to expect from this band. I knew they were a Christian* metal band signed to Fearless Records and that they had a massive following but I had never explored the hype and started listening to them. Needless to say, I was thoroughly impressed by their high energy performance and was not disappointed by the talent these guys have. Singer Jake Luhrs definitely put on a show as he threw the microphone around and danced during instrumentals and it wasn’t until I started editing my photos that I noticed guitarist JB Brubaker was wearing flip flops the entire show. Flip flops. So #Metal.
After watching a video Friday morning of one of ABR’s performances to prepare myself for their lighting I was nervous about all of the colors and back-lighting but I am very pleased with how these turned out.

For the Iranian women who were there, Thursday, October 10, 2019, will go down as an important date in their country’s history. For the first time since 1981, female fans officially entered the Azadi Stadium in Tehran to watch a football match.
FIFA qualifiers don’t usually attract much interest. But, as if to welcome the women to the stadium, Iran beat Cambodia 14-0. Despite the action on the field, the women in the stands were the centre of attention. At last count, nearly 6,000 women attended.
It was also a momentous event for millions more – Iranian women and men, following the game on social media. Making the moment even more compelling for people watching was the fact that despite limited seating for female-only sections, the number of women exceeded the number of men who came to watch the game.
Azadi Stadium is the biggest in Iran, but it was almost empty. The relatively small number of men who bought tickets for the Iran-Cambodia match seemed mainly to be there to celebrate the first time women were present with the blessings of the government. To show their support for female football fans, many of them posted selfies on social media with the background of female spectators in the distance. When the match ended, male spectators even pointed to women’s sections and directed the Iranian national team to cross the pitch and greet the women at the other end. This was the most emotional moment of the event for the women in the stands; there was a collective feeling of being appreciated and seen.
For the Iranian women who were there, Wednesday, October 9, 2019, will go down as an important date in their country’s history. For the first time since 1981, female fans officially entered the Azadi Stadium to watch a football match.
Uncertain Start: The game started at 5 pm but women had been instructed to be there four hours early. There was a heavy police presence at the eastern side of the Azadi Stadium. So heavy, that the women there began to worry that maybe it wasn’t going to happen after all.
Everyone held their breath and was stressed out. In the back of their minds, there was the reality that all previous attempts by Iranian women over the last 15 years to get into the stadiums were repelled. The worry seemed valid. Just a few days before the Iran-Cambodia match, a group of hardliners demonstrated in front of the Iranian Parliament, opposing the government’s decision to allow women to attend.
At the time, despite having tickets, female spectators were worried that something unexpected could derail their moment.
The carefully coordinated security arrangements led to a 30-minute delay in opening the gates. Ticket-holding women were then directed to a segregated section of the parking area outside the stadium. They were driven in buses from there to the main entrance to the field. During the ride, women were briefed with clear instructions about what they could and could not do during the event.
Any mention of the ‘Blue Girl’ was strictly banned. Iranian authorities preferred to overlook the attention and enthusiasm that the 29-year-old woman’s suicide injected into the Iranian women’s open football stadiums campaign. Sahar Khodayari, dubbed the ‘Blue Girl’ for her favourite team, Esteghlal’s colours, committed self-immolation in early September, after her trial for attempting to enter the Azadi Stadium disguised as a man was postponed.
During what was a short trip from the main gate to the stadium, women in the buses were made to understand that there was a necessity to carefully control the narrative about the historic occasion of which they were a part. Religious hardliners could not be given any reason to turn back the clock. Stadium gates cannot remain open if female fans use the stands as a platform for any kind of protest. For the same reason, at the entrance to the tunnel leading into Azadi Stadium, dozens of female police officers conducted body checks for political signs.
Everyone held their breath. In the back of their minds there was the reality that all attempts by Iranian women over the last 15 years to get into the stadiums were repelled. The worry seemed valid.
Women United: Before entering the stadium, the first women to buy tickets for a football match in the Islamic Republic of Iran, were excited but also anxious. Going through the dark tunnel of the stadium after the security check, with every step forward, the anxiety abated and the excitement endured. Emerging from the tunnel, eyes opened to the field’s large lush green turf. In the stadium, female police officers were standing at every row, helping women to their seats, guiding longtime fans, who, until this moment, knew nothing about their country’s main football stadium.
However, the women were fast learners. Almost as soon as they found their seats, they began chanting and cheering, and the game had not even started.
Almost everyone had a symbol of Iran’s team like a flag, a hat or a horn. They drenched the grey stadium seats in the cheerful and vibrant colours of their team. Covered in the green, white and red of Iran’s flag, women forgot about their differences and celebrated their coming together. Many women in traditional chadors sat alongside others barely able to keep the scarves on their heads.
Throughout the match, journalists on the field had their backs to the match and their cameras pointed at the women’s section. It was perhaps the first time in Iran that football fans were more important than football players on the field.
What even the most powerful cameras could not capture was what it was really like to be in the female stands that day. The horns were so loud throughout the game, women could hardly hear each other speaking. What they couldn’t say to each other was communicated through the overwhelming joy in their eyes at being able to come together, having a united voice, heard around the world.
Throughout the match, journalists on the field had their backs to the match and their cameras pointed at the women’s section. It was the first time in Iran that football fans were more important than football players on the field.
Even female police officers let their guard down and joined the football fans in their chants, cheering on the Iran side together. It was hard not to wonder if some of the female police officers were perhaps from the moral police brigade. They may even have arrested some of the same women in Tehran’s streets with whom they now cheered in the stands. But, at that moment, the Iran’s social conflicts didn’t matter.
Iran’s national football team gave the female fans 14 goals and 14 moments to celebrate their first time at the Azadi Stadium. Fans hope it’s the first of many, but nothing is certain in Iran when it comes to the issue of female fans attending stadium games, including international and club matches. Everything will depend on how Iran’s government looks at this event, seen as a test case for the future. However, Iranian women have taken a significant first step. Despite tight security and carefully controlled limitations placed on women supporters, the fact remains that Iranian women watched a football match in the Azadi Stadium, whose name is Persian for ‘freedom’.

Novel to Screenplay: The Challenges of Adaptation
By Lynne Pembroke and Jim Kalergis
Article Summary: Some basic steps when adapting a novel to the screenplay form.
Brimming with confidence, you've just signed the check purchasing the rights to adapt John Doe's fabulous, but little known novel, Lawrence of Monrovia, to screenplay form. Suddenly, panic sets in. "What was I thinking? How the devil am I going to convert this 400-page novel to a 110-page screenplay?"
The answer is: "The same way you transport six elephants in a Hyundai... three in the front seat and three in the back!"
Old and very bad jokes aside, how does one pour ten gallons of story into a one-gallon jug?
In this article, we'll take a look at this challenge and a few others that a writer may encounter when adapting a novel to screenplay form.
CHALLENGE NUMBER ONE - LENGTH
Screenplays rarely run longer than 120 pages. Figuring one page of a screenplay equals one minute of film, a 120-page screenplay translates into a two-hour motion picture. Much longer than that and exhibitors lose a showing, which translates to fewer six-cent boxes of popcorn sold for $5.99 at the refreshment stand. It took the author of your source material 400 pages to tell the story. How can you possibly tell the same story in 110 pages, the ideal length for a screenplay by today's industry standards?
And the answer to this question is no joke. "You can't! Don't even try!"
Instead, look to capture the essence and spirit of the story. Determine the through-line and major sub-plot of the story and viciously cut everything else.
By "through-line" I mean, WHO (protagonist) wants WHAT (goal), and WHO (antagonist) or WHAT (some other force) opposes him or her? It helps to pose the through-line as a question.
"Will Dorothy find her way back to Kansas despite the evil Wicked Witch of the West's efforts to stop her?"
The same needs to be done for the major sub-plot.
"Will Dorothy's allies achieve their goals despite the danger they face as a result of their alliance?"
One workable technique is to read the book, set it aside for a few weeks, and then see what you still remember of the story's through-line. After all, your goal is to excerpt the most memorable parts of the novel, and what you remember best certainly meets that criterion.
In most cases, everything off the through-line or not essential to the major sub-plot has to go. Develop your outline, treatment or "beat sheet" accordingly.
CHALLENGE NUMBER TWO - VOICE
Many novels are written in the first person. The temptation to adapt such, using tons of voiceovers, should be resisted. While limited voiceovers can be effective when properly done, remember that audiences pay the price of admission to watch a MOTION (things moving about) PICTURE (stuff you can SEE). If they wanted to HEAR a story they'd visit their Uncle Elmer who drones on for hour upon hour about the adventures of slogging through the snow, uphill, both ways, to get to and from school when he was a kid, or perhaps they'd buy a book on tape.
The old screenwriting adage, "Show, don't tell!" applies more than ever when writing an adaptation.
CHALLENGE NUMBER THREE - "LONG-THINKING"
Some tribes of American Indians had a word to describe those of their brethren who sat around thinking deep thoughts. Literally the word translated to, "THE DISEASE OF LONG-THINKING". Quite often, lead characters in novels suffer from this disease.
"Mike knew in his heart that Judith was no good. Yet she caused such a stirring in his loins, he could think of nothing else. He feared someday he would give in to this temptation named Judith, and his surrender would surely bring about the end of his marriage!"
If adapted directly, how on Earth would a director film the above? All we would SEE is Mike sitting there, "long-thinking". That is not very exciting to say the least. And as mentioned previously, voiceovers are rarely the best solution.
When essential plot information is presented only in a character's thought or in the character's internal world, one solution is to give this character a sounding board, another character, to which his thoughts can be voiced aloud. Either adapt an existing character from the novel or create a new one. Of course as always, you should avoid overly obvious exposition by cloaking such dialogue in conflict, or through some other technique. Even better, figure out a way to express the character's dilemma or internal world through action in the external world.
CHALLENGE NUMBER FOUR - WHAT STORY?
Mark Twain is quoted as saying about Oakland, California, "There's no there, there". Similarly, some novels, even successful ones, are very shy on story and rely for the most part on style and character to create an effect. Some prose writers are so good at what they do, that their artful command of the language alone is enough to maintain reader interest. Such is never the case in screenwriting.
Successfully adapting a "no-story-there" novel to screenplay form is a daunting task. One approach is to move away from direct adaptation toward, "story based upon". Use the brilliant background and characters created by the original author as a platform from which to launch a screen story. In fact, if for any reason a screenplay doesn't lend itself to screenplay form, consider moving toward a "based upon" approach, rather than attempting a direct adaptation.
Congratulations! You're now an expert on adapting novels to screenplay form! Well maybe not an expert, but hopefully you have a better understanding of how to approach the subject than you did ten minutes ago. And if the subject still seems too daunting, you can always get professional help as outlined on our web page http://www.coverscript.com/adaptation.html

In latest weeks, the cryptocurrency group has witnessed Bitcoin’s thrilling ascent to new all-time highs, solely to see it retreat beneath the $63,000 mark.
In response to knowledge from TradingView, though the Bitcoin value obtained as excessive as $73,794 on crypto change Bitstamp on March 14, it fell to as little as $61,447 yesterday.
This rollercoaster has left many buyers and lovers searching for readability on the forces at play in such dramatic value actions. Enter Jason City, the worldwide head of buying and selling at Galaxy Digital, who appeared on CNBC’s “Crypto World” on March 19 to elucidate what is occurring within the crypto market and share his short-to-medium value goal for Bitcoin.
City started by addressing Bitcoin’s value drop, attributing it to a pure consolidation after a major run-up. He emphasised the healthiness of this consolidation for the market, suggesting it permits for some value discovery earlier than probably shifting larger once more. City highlighted the success of the spot Bitcoin ETF launches within the U.S. on January 11 as a pivotal issue driving Bitcoin to new highs. He talked about that conventional retail buyers nonetheless face challenges in accessing cryptocurrencies, suggesting that as these platforms turn out to be extra accessible, a gradual movement of funding into Bitcoin could be anticipated.
Relating to forecasts, City responded to a prediction by Customary Chartered’s head of digital belongings analysis, who raised the year-end Bitcoin value forecast to $150,000. City recommended a extra cautious outlook, putting his expectation someplace between $100,000 and $150,000, emphasizing the significance of wholesome market motion and value discovery.
In response to a report by The Day by day Hodl, City stated:
“I actually suppose that $100,000 is predicted by a whole lot of, I’ll say, crypto natives. As you recognize, I’m out right here on the Digital Asset Summit in London this week and simply speaking to a whole lot of the crypto natives, you recognize, there actually is an underpinning. After which you will have a whole lot of conventional finance gamers stepping in as effectively. And so I don’t suppose $100,000 is off the desk...
“I actually hope $150,000 is the proper quantity, nevertheless it’s how we get there too that’s essential, proper? You want wholesome value discovery and wholesome market motion. And so slightly little bit of a retracement right here off of the $73,000 highs, I believe you’re going to see a gradual construct. It’ll construct a base in right here after which unexpectedly begin to actually drive larger. So I’ll play the diplomat and say $120,000, $125,000.”
When discussing Galaxy’s efficiency within the ETF house, City identified the importance of long-term elements reminiscent of monitoring error, by which he believes Galaxy excels. He anticipates the Invesco Galaxy partnership will acquire traction over time, regardless of at present lagging behind opponents like BlackRock when it comes to belongings beneath administration.
Relating to the potential approval of a spot Ether ETF, City expressed a tempered optimism. He anticipates that regulators will take a cautious method, wanting to watch the efficiency of spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier than dashing into spot Ether ETFs. City means that whereas a spot Ether ETF is probably going sooner or later, it could take longer than some may hope.
Lastly, City concluded with an optimistic view on the present state of crypto buying and selling. He described it as “exceedingly wholesome,” noting vital curiosity from each crypto-native and conventional finance gamers. City’s observations underscore a rising acceptance and integration of cryptocurrencies into the broader monetary panorama, signaling sturdy exercise and curiosity throughout the market.
As CryptoGlobe reported, earlier this week, Customary Chartered captured consideration with an up to date funding observe, elevating its end-of-year prediction for Bitcoin (BTC) from $100,000 to $150,000, as detailed in a CoinDesk report from March 18.
The adjustment relies on an funding observe distributed that very same day, showcasing the financial institution’s elevated confidence in Bitcoin’s value potential, alongside a forecast suggesting BTC might hit a peak of $250,000 subsequent 12 months, finally settling at round $200,000.
The evaluation from Customary Chartered gives an insightful parallel between the present trajectory of Bitcoin and the historic affect of gold ETFs on gold’s valuation. The financial institution posits that the US launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs may emulate the numerous influence seen with gold ETFs, offering a strong framework for predicting Bitcoin’s future pricing.
“The analogy with gold, contemplating the affect of ETFs and the perfect asset combine, is a dependable methodology for estimating Bitcoin’s acceptable value within the medium time period,” in accordance with the financial institution’s observe. It signifies that ought to ETF inflows hit or exceed a $75 billion midpoint estimate, or ought to reserve managers begin shopping for BTC, Bitcoin’s worth might probably soar to $250,000 someday in 2025.
Increasing its evaluation to the broader cryptocurrency market, Customary Chartered predicts the Securities and Trade Fee might greenlight a spot Ether (ETH) ETF by Could 23. Approval might result in an inflow of as much as $45 billion within the first 12 months, probably driving ETH’s value to about $8,000 by the tip of 2024, marking a considerable improve from its current buying and selling worth of roughly $3,570.
Additional into the long run, as per a further observe cited by CoinDesk, Customary Chartered tasks the ETH-to-BTC value ratio may return to the 7% vary seen in a lot of 2021-22. With a projected Bitcoin value of $200,000 by the tip of 2025, this evaluation implies an Ethereum value of $14,000.

Have you seen Dr. Frederick Warner?
Posted on August 10th, 2016
Dr. Warner saw my mother in the emergency room and prescribed large antibiotic tablets for her to take. After trying these for a few days by crushing them up and throwing up, we called to see if he could prescribe something else in a liquid form. He never came to the phone but asked someone else to tell us NO, there is nothing he can do. He said those are the only medicines he can prescribe and only in the large tablet form. My mother is 87 years old. What a heartless jerk!

Before designing your thatched roof or lapa the following should be taken into consideration:
1. Consider carefully in which area of your property the roof or lapa will be erected.
2. Assess the ground area where the roof or thatched lapa will be constructed for underground water pipes, power cables, irrigation pipes, etc. as this can play a role when planting poles in the ground for supporting the roof.
3. If building work needs to be done it needs to be done before commencing with the erection of the roof or lapa. It is extremely difficult to do building work after the thatched roof or lapa has been erected and it affects the roof structures stability and strength. Decide beforehand where the braai facility,washing area, counter, bar area, fridge area, seating and any other fixed structures will be situated.Further plan the lighting, floor covering and decide on the final finish on the pole structure, do you require a matt or a gloss finish? Where the roof is to be erected on walls and beams or columns the following should be considered:
a.) That the substructure of CCA poles and foundations are capable of supporting the roof
b.) That the roof structure exerts vertical and horizontal forces, due to wind forces and dead weight, on its supports, and thus the structure must be designed in the correct manner.
c.) An architect or structural engineer can be contacted to assist in this regard.
4. When deciding on the size of the thatched lapa or roof, take into consideration the space available and how many people will make use of the facility.
5. After determining the size of the lapa or roof you should decide where the entrance/s would be and how high and wide they will be, as this will affect the design and shape of the lapa and roof.
6. To determine the overhang required on the roof and where arches will be constructed take sunrise and sunset into consideration and the view you require from underneath the roof.
7. Who will design the lapa or thatched roof and are there any guarantees on the design as supplied by a structural engineer.
8. A Proper roof plan showing sections, supporting walls, columns, foundations, connections, dimensions and the specifications of the material that will be used is highly recommended, as this will also assist in accurate costing and tendering.
a.) For small lapas or thatched roofs (less than 50 m²) it is not always useful as a simplistic design is normally followed.
b.) For houses, lodges and other commercial projects it is a must as these projects are seldom simplistic and differ in size, shape, design and many other aspects.
9. Who will draw the plans for the roof as required by the local authorities? Contact us for a draftsman who can assist you.
10. The distance from other buildings as this affects the fire hazard of the planned roof.
11. Contact insurance companies and get detail on premiums and requirements for lowest premiums. Determine what influences premiums and what is needed for a claim to be paid out.
12. Will the elevated area due to the 45° pitch be used, as this can affect the design of the support structure of the roof?
13. A competent person who knows the National Building Regulation’s legal requirements on structural strength, stability and safety should check the design of the roof structure.
14. It is recommended that a structural engineer or an architect inspects and certifies the completed structure, as there is not yet a design code specifically for pole connections.
15. Depending on where the structure is build and the size of the structure a fire certificate may be needed by your local authority

That's some interesting math. Or did you mean 16-3?
I dunno, Joe Joe.
We are the worst team in the NFL vs the rush.
The GBP ain't getting gashed, we just don't stop the run.
Where the hell were you assholes a few months back when i was saying we had just overpaid for shields and got crucified by the rest of the forum?
Actually, the Packers have played decent (not outstanding) run defense in half their games. The problem is they've played terrible run defense in the
I agree that Davis is better on 80% of the plays - the thing is, Shields is better on the 20% that seem to matter. Patler brought up in the NO game day
At their best? Woodson. Not close. Bailey had a lot more steady of a career though and his peak spanned many seasons. Woodson was much more versatile
I've never been much of a Shields fan. IMO he's really good at just one thing and it just so happens that the one thing he's good at is defending the

And WAY overrated as an actress imo
Tank is banned. If TL is Tank, he's sneaking in here and should be banned too.
Wimpy White boy music for wimpy White
11-5 looks like a good guess with this team at the half way point.
I need the Packers to run off 11 wins to make my 13-3 right.
Many folks in Denver believe Champ was robbed of the DPOY in '06 when he had 10 picks and did not allow a single TD. The media gave it Jason Taylor, who

Microneedling is a form of collagen induction therapy. Tiny needle holes trigger your body’s natural wound healing response causing an influx of growth factors to the newly injured skin. These growth factors trigger the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins which help to plump and rejuvenate the skin. Patients notice improvement in skin tone, reduction in pore size, reduction in fine lines, reduction in acne, improvement in acne scars and improvement in stretch marks.
Microneedling is often combined with PRP. PRP is “platelet rich plasma”; a component of your own blood which contains a high concentration of these essential growth factors. Following the microneedling treatment PRP is applied directly into the newly injured skin adding healing properties directly into the tiny holes just created.
A series of 3 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart, for optimal results is recommended. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months should be considered after the initial series to provide long lasting results. This is a great treatment for all-over facial rejuvenation. It is ideal before any special event or just to make you feel like the best version of yourself.

The Oakland Raiders changed Friday's regularly scheduled outdoor practice to a walkthrough because of poor air quality for a second straight day, NFL Network's Steve Wyche reported.
Football operations for teams based in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, however, have taken a back seat to real life in the past week, as areas of California have been devastated by wildfires.
Southern California dealt with the Woolsey Fire, while Northern California experienced damage with the Camp Fire.
Smoke over the Bay Area caused the Air Quality Index (AQI) to register more than 200, which indicates a "very unhealthy" rating, according to a graph tweeted by Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
As of Friday afternoon, the death toll rose to 66 with more than 600 people missing, according to CBS News.
Meanwhile, fires in Southern California continue burn and the Los Angeles Chargers have stepped in to assist relief efforts by donating $250,000 to the American Red Cross.
The funding will enable the Red Cross to send disaster workers and supplies to the affected areas to help shelter, feed and comfort people who have been impacted by the Woolsey and Hill wildfires.
"It's been absolutely heartbreaking to watch the destruction these fires have inflicted on our local community," said A.G. Spanos, President of Business Operations for the Los Angeles Chargers, in a statement. "Forcing more than a quarter million residents to evacuate and seek safety and shelter elsewhere, this disaster has seen hundreds of families lose their homes and have their lives turned upside down. The Chargers are proud to partner with the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, health services and immediate support to Angelenos with nowhere else to turn in the face of this widespread devastation."


JUST IN: Voting has been suspended at some polling stations in Rubaga South after the Electoral Commission delivered the wrong ballot papers in the division, the Daily Express can confirm.
It has happened in 3 polling stations to include, Kyengonge parking yard polling station, St cecilia polling station and at Bulwa polling station where mayoral candidate Erias Lukwago is set to cast his vote.
At Bulwa however, the right material has been delivered and polling resumed at 8am according to Joseph Lukowe, an EC presiding officer there.
At St Cecilia polling station, the first 8 people voted for people they didn’t know as wrong ballot papers were delivered and voting here is still posed.
“We noticed after voting. They then informed us that the papers are not the same that’s why we decided to stop,” says Emmanuel Mukasa a voter at St Cecilia polling station.
Kenneth Wabwire Maloba, an EC presiding officer at Kyengonge park yard polling station in Rubaga South says they have suspended the process as they wait on EC to deliver the right material.

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a type of progressive arthritis that leads to chronic inflammation of the spine and sacroiliac (SI) joints. AS primarily affects the axial skeleton, including the ligaments and joints. Inflammation due to AS can also affect other joints and organs in the body, such as the eyes, lungs, kidneys, shoulders, knees, hips, heart, and ankles. AS is a true "systemic" disease, meaning the problem causes changes throughout the body.
One way to understand what AS does to the body is to look at the words "ankylosing" and "spondylitis." Ankylosing means stiffening. It comes from the Greek word "angkylos," which means bent. Spondylitis means inflammation of the spine. It comes from the Greek word "spondylos," which means spinal vertebrae. In essence, AS causes your spine to stiffen due to inflammation of the joints. This may cause the vertebrae to fuse together. It may also cause a kyphosis of the spine, which gives your spine a forward curve.
A healthy spine is able to move in many directions, which is why you can bend, turn, and twist. The spinal bones are joined together by flexible ligaments and are separated by cushiony discs, which allow a lot of movement. Movement can become impossible if the ligaments calcify and the bones fuse together. This is why AS can be disabling in its advanced stages.
Learn about AS including
- what causes the condition
- what are the symptoms associated with AS
- how is AS diagnosed
- what treatment options are available
In order to understand your symptoms and treatment options, it helps to begin with a basic understanding of spinal anatomy. This includes becoming familiar with the various parts that make up the spine and how these parts work together. Learn more about the anatomy of the spine.
Often the first sign of AS is inflammation of the sacroiliac (SI) joints. The SI joints are the two joints that connect the lower spine to the pelvis. You can feel these joints about two inches to either side of the spine in the low back.
Inflammation eventually moves to the spine. Long-term inflammation of the spinal joints (called spondylitis) leads to calcium deposits forming in the ligaments around the invertebral discs (the cushions between your spinal vertebrae) and the ligaments that hold the vertebrae together. When these ligaments calcify movement is restricted. Eventually there can be a complete fusing together of the vertebrae (called ankylosis).
The origin of AS is still unknown. But much is known about how AS progresses and why it causes spinal stiffening. When AS first appears, an inflammation of the bones (called osteitis) occurs around the edges of the joints. In these areas, the number of special cells (called inflammatory cells) begins to increase. Inflammatory cells produce chemicals that damage the bone. This causes the bone to begin to dissolve and weaken around the edge of each joint.
Damage to the bone starts a process where the body continually tries to repair the damage with scar tissue and new bone tissue. As the process continues, the bone becomes weaker and weaker. When the inflammation finally "burns out" and begins to disappear, the body attempts to heal the bone by producing calcium deposits around the area of the damage. For some unclear reason, as the bone heals itself, the calcium deposits spread to the ligaments and discs between the vertebrae. This leads to a fusion of the spine, sometimes referred to as bony ankylosis.
AS primarily affects younger adult males. It is three times more common in males than females. Although AS can strike people of any age, race, or sex, the onset is most common in Caucasian men between the ages of 17 and 35. In women the symptoms of AS often begin to appear during pregnancy.
AS appears to be genetic. A specific gene-the HLA-B27 gene-is present in 80 to 90 percent of people who have the disease. This does not mean that if you have the gene you will automatically get AS. About eight percent of Americans have this gene but only about one percent of those will actually develop the disease.
Like other forms of arthritis, the symptoms of AS are from the effects of inflammation. Initially the symptoms may come and go for weeks or months at a time.
- The first sign of AS is usually sacroiliitis (inflammation in the SI joints). This condition causes pain in the low back and buttock areas.
- There is often severe low back pain, along with buttock, hip, and thigh pain on one or both sides. It usually comes on gradually and gets worse with time.
- Stiffness and low back pain commonly occur in the morning and ease with activity over the course of the day.
- Prolonged rest worsens the symptoms of AS, which is different from some other forms of low back pain that are eased with rest.
- Spine flexibility is reduced with AS, which can affect your ability to bend forward and backward.
- In the mid back, AS can affect the joints where the ribs connect to the vertebrae. These are called the costotransverse and costovertebral joints. Inflammation in these joints can cause pain in your chest wall and into your abdomen.
- Symptoms in the neck include stiffness, pain, and limited neck motion.
- Because AS attacks the joints of the body, synovitis can occur. Synovitis is a term used to describe inflammation of the synovial membrane (lining of the joints). Symptoms of synovitis include pain, stiffness, and swelling in any joint in the body.
- Breathing can be affected as AS progresses. The disease can make the mid back round forward, a deformity called kyphosis. When this occurs, it can compress the lungs and make it increasingly difficult to take a breath. Also, when the disease affects the joints between the ribs and spine, the chest loses its ability to expand enough to take a full breath. Inflammation of the lungs can also occur with AS, making it even harder to breathe.
- The eyes can be affected by AS. About 25 percent of AS patients develop iritis, a condition that is caused by inflammation of the iris. The iris is the colored part of your eye around the pupil. There may be pain and redness in the eye, but usually vision is not impaired.
- The spine bones may eventually grow together, fusing into one continuous column of bone. This is due to calcification of the ligaments and discs between each vertebra. If the vertebrae fuse together, the spine is robbed of mobility, leaving the vertebrae brittle and vulnerable to fractures. When the spine becomes completely fused together, the pain in the spinal area usually goes away. This does not signal a remission of the disease. However, patients are left with no spinal mobility and brittle bones that are more likely to fracture. If pain suddenly reappears in your back after a long period of no pain, you may have a fractured vertebra
It is sometimes difficult in the early stages of AS to make a definite diagnosis. Your doctor will take a history and perform a physical exam. Other diagnostic tests include X-rays and lab tests. Your doctor may be alerted to the possible diagnosis of AS if your history includes
- onset of back pain before age 35-40
- gradual onset; not caused by a trauma
- pain that has lasted more than three to six months
- improvement with exercise and motion
- spinal stiffness in the mornings
- family history of AS
Your doctor may order X-rays of the spine and pelvis if AS is suspected. The vertebral bodies in a patient with AS are often seen on X-ray to be deformed and have a square shape. Doctors refer to this as a "bamboo spine" appearance-very symmetrical and segmented.
Most of the early X-ray findings will be seen around the SI joint, and they are usually seen on both sides. These signs include patchy osteoporosis (loss of bone mass), poorly defined joint margins, a widening of the SI joint space, and erosions of the joint. In advanced cases of AS, the X-rays will show many changes including calcium deposits in the ligaments and discs, complete spinal fusion, and sometimes old spinal fractures.
If your doctor suspects that you have AS, a blood test can be helpful in finding out whether you have the HLA-B27 gene. There is not a specific blood test available to determine if a person has AS. You may see AS referred to as a seronegative spondyloarthropathy. This refers to a patient who has all the symptoms of AS but does not have the positive blood test that usually indicates AS. (The negative test is called the rheumatoid factor.) This is simply a way for doctors to classify AS in relation to other forms of systemic arthritis. If you have the symptoms of AS and the HLA-B27 gene, AS is likely to be the correct diagnosis.
A blood test can show evidence of increased inflammation in the body. The test normally used for this is the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR). This is a simple gauge of inflammation in the blood from any cause. Even a common cold will increase this test significantly.
A urinalysis might be used to test the kidneys. This is done to look for possible kidney abnormalities that could be causing problems with similar AS symptoms.
There is no cure for AS yet, but there are effective treatments that can help relieve pain and improve the condition. AS is generally treated conservatively with medication, physical therapy, and exercise. Surgery may be necessary at some point to treat problems caused by AS in the spine and other joints of the body.
Your doctor will suggest medications to reduce inflammation and pain. The preferred way to treat AS, if they prove effective, is with NSAIDs, particularly indomethacin. It is best to take these medications as prescribed by your doctor. Possible side effects of NSAIDs include nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Taking them with food will help ward off side effects.
If NSAIDs are not sufficient, a medication called sulfasalazine may also be suggested. Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are also very effective at reducing inflammation, but their side effects can be serious if taken on a long-term basis.
If anti-inflammatory medications do not control the pain and inflammation sufficiently, there are medications available that block the immune system in order to reduce inflammation. These medications have many side effects, so patients who take them must be closely monitored.
Your doctor may have you work with a physical therapist. A well-rounded rehabilitation program assists in calming pain and inflammation, improving your mobility and strength, and helping you do your daily activities with greater ease and ability.
Safe movement can improve spine mobility and posture. Physical therapy assists in pain control and prevention of deformities from AS. Patients are advised against prolonged sitting and best rest and encouraged to keep their spine straight, walk erect, and avoid stooping over for long periods. Therapy sessions may be scheduled two to three times each week for up to six weeks.
The goals of physical therapy are to help you
- Learn correct posture and body movements to counteract rounding of the upper back (kyphosis)
- Use appropriate sleep positions upon a firm mattress and thin pillow
- Maintain appropriate activity levels
- Implement daily stretching and strengthening exercises
- Learn ways to manage your conditio
Surgical intervention is uncommon with AS. It is only necessary if the disease has led to severe deformity, such as extreme kyphosis, that prevents standing up and looking forward. In this case a spinal osteotomy might be considered. This operation involves cutting through the spinal bones and realigning them into a position that allows better upright posture. The spinal cord is never cut, only the vertebrae.
Surgery may also be recommended if the hip joints have been affected by the arthritis associated with AS. If the hips become severely damaged by arthritis, an artificial hip replacement may be required. Patients with AS commonly need this surgery.
More information on artificial hip replacement can be found at www.allaboutarthritis.com.

Across Illovo’s six countries of operation, Dr Ernest Peresu is spearheading the Group’s medical response to the challenges of COVID-19. In discussion with Dr Peresu from Ubombo, he outlines that the business has adapted to the current environment and challenges, as well as why medicine and his role is so important to him. But where did it all begin?
Dr Ernest Peresu, looking relaxed in his medical practice Head Office in Durban, prior leaving for home at Ubombo Sugar Limited in Eswatini in early March, 2020.
Many doctors find their calling in different ways so when I chose to study medicine, I never quite understood what it meant. I would not have anticipated the amazing highs of directly impacting someone’s life nor the deep lows when a patient is extremely poorly. It is really a blessing to have the opportunity to care for patients in their most weak and vulnerable times.
“In terms of my career, I have practised medicine in public, mission, private and military medical settings in several countries across southern Africa; namely Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Namibia and Eswatini before moving to South Africa to take up my current role.
During my time with Ubombo Sugar in Eswatini, I was able to fully grasp the value of our medical facilities to employees, their families and neighbouring communities. I worked in the hospital on our sugar estate and as a result of this, I was able to make a seamless transition to my current role at head office as the group medical services specialist.
“Today, my role involves leading group-wide employee health and wellness management by providing strategy, minimum standards, direction and advice especially in integrating the fields of occupational health, workplace and working conditions, wellness, disease management and community health. I also facilitate the sharing of evidence-based medical services best practices across the business, taking into account country-specific context and circumstances,” said Ernest.
Speaking on the challenges of setting up the Group’s medical services in response to the COVID-19 challenge, Ernest says that the virus is still spreading at an extraordinary speed, bringing with it uncertainty and rapidly evolving conditions that are more complex and bigger than what we are used to dealing with. “We have a COVID-19 emergency plan-ahead team that has been instrumental in delivering an evidence-informed, strategic-crisis action plan with speed in an effort to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our employees which is our highest priority.
“In most rural communities we operate, our medical facilities are the communities’ only lifeline. We also realise that our medical facilities are uniquely positioned to help flatten the curve with our experience in dealing with malaria and cholera outbreaks and the HIV epidemic. We have reconfigured and made sure that each of our 4 hospitals and 27 clinics across the group created two streams of care – one for patients with respiratory symptoms and another for those with general illnesses. We have launched new service models to reach patients and employees remotely; implemented infection prevention and control protocols in all facilities; have adequate supply of oxygen, oxygen concentrators and ventilators; enough PPE such as facemasks; and designated quarantine and isolation facilities for accommodating people whose accommodation does not support selfisolation.
“In addition, we designed and implemented health communication strategies leveraging on long-standing relationships with local communities to reach a wide audience with evidence-based messages. Each of our operations also collaborates and aligns their COVID-19 response with the World Health Organization and local public health authorities’ protocols.
“With operations across six countries, one challenge in particular has been the different ways each country is responding to the outbreak. The different policy responses to COVID-19 have made it a bit difficult for us to implement some of the internationally-recommended evidence-based practices in some of our facilities. However, I’m happy that we’re managing to navigate through this and align our responses to local Ministry of Health protocols.”
Ernest goes on to say that the response of the country medical teams across has been fantastic, however, there are a number of things which worry him daily: “Firstly, the fear of the virus is spreading faster than the disease itself, bringing with it stigma to those who have been confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19. From our experience in dealing with HIV, we know that people who are worried about being socially stigmatised are less likely to get tested or seek treatment if they experience symptoms. So, we are busy trying to remind people that our values of inclusion, acceptance and diversity also extend to people who are affected by the virus.
“Secondly, our doctors and nurses, medical staff in general, who are at the front line of the response, are particularly exposed to the risk of contracting the virus. So, we will continue doing our best to reinforce hygiene measures in our medical facilities to prevent our hospitals and clinics from becoming places where the disease is transmitted.
“Despite this, I am extremely motivated by the incredibly strong and resilient medical and human resources team that surround me and work with me every day to fulfil our purpose. The joy, appetite and desire, especially of our doctors, nurses and all medical staff – who are as passionate and invested in the company's success as me – to serve others inspires me every day!”
And in looking to the future, what’s your ‘medical’ take? “In many countries across Africa, health systems are not primarily designed to keep people healthy, but instead focused on responding to diseases. So as a doctor, the more patients you see today, the more and more patients you will see tomorrow because the health system is built to wait for people who are sick rather than reaching out to people to live healthy lives. I see us shifting even more towards empowering people to own their personal health and live healthy lifestyles. This is a fundamental change and will take time.
“For our services specifically, we’re also evaluating the best ways to solve the health challenges our employees and communities face. Our ambition is to continue to develop our medical services’ capability to enable the provision and accessibility of safe, quality and affordable healthcare that address country-specific needs. To achieve this, we will continue to re-engineer and optimise our service to ensure they are fit-for-purpose, and where we can, leverage on creating strong public-private partnerships to address the healthcare needs of those around us,” said Dr Peresu.

For the third year in a row, moms took over the runway during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in a show designed to empower women. Called - Strut: The Fashionable Mom Show, it featured models who were all moms in many shapes and sizes.
Bloomingdale’s styled the show, highlighting fall fashion trends from designers such as Ramy Brook, Jay Godfrey, Torn by Ronny Kobo, Yosi Samra, Twenty, JustFab, Kay Unger and Zeus+Dione. The show was cocreated by Denise Albert and Melissa Musen Gerstein of The Moms, and executive produced by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff of SWW Creative — all of whom walked the runway. The runway show took place Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. at the The Stage at Lincoln Center.
This year’s theme was “Moms Strut for a Cause.” Amber Sabathia, entrepreneur, philanthropist, creator and designer of CCandy, as well as wife of the New York Yankees’ CC Sabathia, walked in the show, along with her children for the PitCCh In Foundation. Other moms who walked the catwalk include Alexis Stoudemire, wife of the New York Knicks’ Amar’e Stoudemire; actress Alysia Reiner; Laura Posada, wife of retired New York Yankee Jorge Posada; NBC’s Darlene Rodriguez; Victoria Recaño of “Inside Edition,” and Katina Taylor, wife of former NFL star Jason Taylor.
I was honored The Moms , Denise and Melissa asked me to walk the runway , the cause I walked for was The Robin Hood Foundation. It was such amazing fun. I can finally say I got one off my bucket list, and modeled at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. My Hubby and son came out to support me as did a few of my friends. I was so busy backstage getting hair, makeup and dressed, that I only got a few pictures with my trusty iPhone 4, hope you enjoy them. I added a lovely mention in today’s Daily News about the Strut Moms Fashion show by The Moms. Stay tune for more press on my Blog.

Sachin Shah says the white paper has some good ideas but will neuter local democracy
I enjoy sitting on Harrow council’s planning committee because it is one of the few committees in local government that makes instant decisions. While many other council committees will spend years making recommendations, sometimes referring matters to other committees, a planning committee will, by the end of the meeting, have made decisions on what is in front of them.
Planning committee members from all political parties put a lot of effort into doing their role well. Carrying out site visits, reading reams of information and listening to residents give their views. So, for me it was disappointing to hear the government blame planning committee members like me and the planning system for the housing crisis. Of course, there are problems with the planning process. It is not perfect, and it can be frustrating for everyone. For me, as a planning committee member the reforms proposed in the government’s planning white paper raises three key questions.

It’s hard to imagine a teen asking their mother for approval on anything. But a new study shows that male zebra finches—colorful songbirds with complex songs—learn their father’s tune better when mom “fluffs up” to signal her approval. This is the first time the songbirds, thought to be mere memorization machines, have been shown to use social cues for learning—putting them in an elite club that includes cowbirds, marmosets, and humans. The finding suggests other songbirds might also learn their tunes this way, and that zebra finches are better models for studying language development than thought.
“Female zebra finches play an important role in male learning, in some ways even rivaling that of the male tutors,” says Karl Berg, an avian ecologist at the University of Texas in Brownsville, who was not involved in the new study. Previously, scientists knew only that the nonsinging females played some role in song acquisition, because males raised with deaf females develop incorrect songs.
Researchers have long known that female brown-headed cowbirds make quick, lateral wing strokes to approve the songs of juvenile males (as in finches, only male cowbirds learn to sing). Most scientists discounted the cowbirds’ social cues as an isolated oddity, because the birds are brood parasites. But cowbirds’ similarities to zebra finches—both are highly social and use their songs to attract mates rather than claim territories—led Cornell University developmental psychobiologists Samantha Carouso-Peck and Michael Goldstein to wonder whether female finches also use social cues to help young males learn the best, mate-attracting songs.
It takes a typical zebra finch 55 days to learn dad’s rhythmic, beeping tune. Carouso-Peck and Goldstein selected nine pairs of zebra finch brothers that were raised by their parents until they were 35 days old and just starting to practice their fathers’ songs. For 1 hour daily over 25 days, each brother sang by himself in a sound chamber equipped with a video monitor and camera. Whenever they sang, a scientist played a video of an unrelated adult female finch erecting her feathers and moving her upper body quickly from side to side; such “fluff-ups” signal that females like a male’s tune. At the same time, the scientist played the video for the other brother, even if he wasn’t singing.
When the birds were sexually mature at 90 days old, the scientists compared the young males’ songs with those of their fathers. The birds that got female feedback in response to their singing were far more accurate than their peers, with eight of nine belting out melodies more acoustically similar to those of their fathers. “We’ve shown that a young male zebra finch isn’t learning his song via a special imitation box in his head,” Goldstein says. “He’s learning it from his mom, who loves his dad’s song and is already excited and aroused by that song.”
Such active learning closely resembles how human infants learn speech, the scientists note, making these finches even better models for studying language acquisition across species. For a young male finch, mom’s approval means he’ll likely be successful at his chief job in life: attracting a mate and reproducing.


Jeremy Paxman is a man with very definite views on classic poetry: from his declared love of Donne and Yeats to his recent remark that “poetry is part of the problem of how we teach World War One”. Now the Newsnight harrumpher is turning his eyes to modern verse: Paxman will chair the judging panel of this year’s Forward Prize, one of the country’s top poetry awards, presented in September.
Organisers are hoping that his “personal relish for memorable language and robust debate” will make this year’s prize notable. Or at least swift. One fellow judge privately expressed the hope that Paxman’s impatient presence will mean “the judging meetings won’t drag on too long”.Reuse content

Syntax Analysis is a second phase of the compiler design process in which the given input string is checked for the confirmation of rules and structure of the formal grammar. It analyses the syntactical structure and checks if the given input is in the correct syntax of the programming language or not. Syntax Analysis in Compiler Design process comes after the Lexical analysis phase. It is also known as the Parse Tree or Syntax Tree. The Parse Tree is developed with the help of pre-defined grammar of the language.
There are 2 types of Parsing Technique present in parsing, first one is Top-down parsing and second one is Bottom-up parsing. Top-down Parsing is a parsing technique that first looks at the highest level of the parse tree and works down the parse tree by using the rules of grammar while Bottom-up Parsing is a parsing technique that first looks at the lowest level of the parse tree and works up the parse tree by using the rules of grammar. There are some differences present to differentiate these two parsing techniques, which are given below:. Attention reader! Writing code in comment? Please use ide. Skip to content.
Deterministic Bottom-Up Parsing
The major difference between types of parsing techniques top-down and bottom-up parsing is that the top-down parsing follows method to construct a parse tree for an input string which begins at the root and grow towards the leaves. As against, in bottom-up parsing, a reverse method where the parsing starts from the leaves and directed towards the leaves. Parsing is the technique of examining a text containing a string of tokens, to find its grammatical structure according to the given grammar. Now, let us discuss the responsibilities of a parser. The parser receives a string of token from the lexical analyser.
PDF | Compilers typically use either a top-down or a bottom-up strategy for parsing as well as semantic evaluation. Both strategies have advantages and | Find.
Introduction to Bottom-Up Parsing
In computer science , parsing reveals the grammatical structure of linear input text, as a first step in working out its meaning. Bottom-up parsing recognizes the text's lowest-level small details first, before its mid-level structures, and leaving the highest-level overall structure to last. The bottom-up name comes from the concept of a parse tree , in which the most detailed parts are at the bottom of the upside-down tree, and larger structures composed from them are in successively higher layers, until at the top or "root" of the tree a single unit describes the entire input stream. A bottom-up parse discovers and processes that tree starting from the bottom left end, and incrementally works its way upwards and rightwards. Bottom-up parsing patiently waits until it has scanned and parsed all parts of some construct before committing to what the combined construct is.
Syntax Analysis is a second phase of the compiler design process in which the given input string is checked for the confirmation of rules and structure of the formal grammar. It analyses the syntactical structure and checks if the given input is in the correct syntax of the programming language or not. Syntax Analysis in Compiler Design process comes after the Lexical analysis phase.
Parser is a compiler that is used to break the data into smaller elements coming from lexical analysis phase. A parser takes input in the form of sequence of tokens and produces output in the form of parse tree. JavaTpoint offers too many high quality services. Mail us on hr javatpoint.
Difference Between Top-down and Bottom-up Parsing
Top-down parsing in computer science is a parsing strategy where one first looks at the highest level of the parse tree and works down the parse tree by using the rewriting rules of a formal grammar. Top-down parsing is a strategy of analyzing unknown data relationships by hypothesizing general parse tree structures and then considering whether the known fundamental structures are compatible with the hypothesis. It occurs in the analysis of both natural languages and computer languages. Top-down parsing can be viewed as an attempt to find left-most derivations of an input-stream by searching for parse-trees using a top-down expansion of the given formal grammar rules.
Parsing Techniques pp Cite as. There is a great variety of deterministic bottom-up parsing methods. The first deterministic parsers Wolpe , Adams and Schlesinger  were bottom-up parsers and interest has only increased since. The full bibliography of this book on its web site contains about entries on deterministic bottom-up parsing against some 85 on deterministic top-down parsing. These figures may not directly reflect the relative importance of the methods, but they are certainly indicative of the fascination and complexity of the subject of this chapter.

Top-down parsing builds the parse tree from the top (start symbol) parsers, which are bottom-up and LR. Here is a top-down parse of the sentence x+y*z.
