Scene Ipavilion on deck, with a curtain before it; PERICLESwithin it, reclined on a couch. A barge lyingbeside the Tyrian vessel.
On board PERICLES' ship, off Mytilene. A close
Enter two Sailors, one belonging to the Tyrian
vessel, the other to the barge; to them HELICANUS
Tyrian Sailor
[To the Sailor of Mytilene] Where is lord Helicanus?
he can resolve you.
O, here he is.
Sir, there's a barge put off from Mytilene,
And in it is Lysimachus the governor,
Who craves to come aboard. What is your will?
HELICANUS
That he have his. Call up some gentlemen.
Tyrian Sailor
Ho, gentlemen! my lord calls.
[Enter two or three Gentlemen]
First Gentleman
Doth your lordship call?
HELICANUS
Gentlemen, there's some of worth would come aboard;
I pray ye, greet them fairly.
The Gentlemen and the two Sailors descend, and go
on board the barge
Enter, from thence, LYSIMACHUS and Lords; with the
Gentlemen and the two Sailors
Tyrian Sailor
Sir,
This is the man that can, in aught you would,
Resolve you.
LYSIMACHUS
Hail, reverend sir! the gods preserve you!

LYSIMACHUS
You wish me well.
Being on shore, honouring of Neptune's triumphs,
Seeing this goodly vessel ride before us,
I made to it, to know of whence you are.
HELICANUS
First, what is your place?
LYSIMACHUS
I am the governor of this place you lie before.
HELICANUS
Sir,
Our vessel is of Tyre, in it the king;
A man who for this three months hath not spoken
To any one, nor taken sustenance
But to prorogue his grief.
LYSIMACHUS
Upon what ground is his distemperature?
HELICANUS
'Twould be too tedious to repeat;
But the main grief springs from the loss
Of a beloved daughter and a wife.
LYSIMACHUS
May we not see him?
HELICANUS
You may;
But bootless is your sight: he will not speak To any.
LYSIMACHUS
Yet let me obtain my wish.
HELICANUS
Behold him.
[PERICLES discovered]
This was a goodly person,
Till the disaster that, one mortal night,
Drove him to this.
LYSIMACHUS
Sir king, all hail! the gods preserve you!
Hail, royal sir!
HELICANUS
It is in vain; he will not speak to you.
First Lord
Sir,
We have a maid in Mytilene, I durst wager,
Would win some words of him.
LYSIMACHUS
'Tis well bethought.
She questionless with her sweet harmony
And other chosen attractions, would allure,
And make a battery through his deafen'd parts,
Which now are midway stopp'd:
She is all happy as the fairest of all,
And, with her fellow maids is now upon
The leafy shelter that abuts against
The island's side.
Whispers a Lord, who goes off in the barge of
LYSIMACHUS
HELICANUS
Sure, all's effectless; yet nothing we'll omit
That bears recovery's name. But, since your kindness
We have stretch'd thus far, let us beseech you
That for our gold we may provision have,
Wherein we are not destitute for want,
But weary for the staleness.
LYSIMACHUS
O, sir, a courtesy
Which if we should deny, the most just gods
For every graff would send a caterpillar,
And so afflict our province. Yet once more
Let me entreat to know at large the cause
Of your king's sorrow.
HELICANUS
Sit, sir, I will recount it to you:
But, see, I am prevented.
Re-enter, from the barge, Lord, with MARINA, and a
young Lady
LYSIMACHUS
O, here is
The lady that I sent for. Welcome, fair one!
Is't not a goodly presence?
HELICANUS
She's a gallant lady.
LYSIMACHUS
She's such a one, that, were I well assured
Came of a gentle kind and noble stock,
I'ld wish no better choice, and think me rarely wed.
Fair one, all goodness that consists in bounty
Expect even here, where is a kingly patient:
If that thy prosperous and artificial feat
Can draw him but to answer thee in aught,
Thy sacred physic shall receive such pay
As thy desires can wish.
MARINA
Sir, I will use
My utmost skill in his recovery, Provided
That none but I and my companion maid
Be suffer'd to come near him.
LYSIMACHUS
Come, let us leave her;
And the gods make her prosperous!
[MARINA sings]
LYSIMACHUS
Mark'd he your music?
MARINA
No, nor look'd on us.
LYSIMACHUS
See, she will speak to him.
MARINA
Hail, sir! my lord, lend ear.
MARINA
I am a maid,
My lord, that ne'er before invited eyes,
But have been gazed on like a comet: she speaks,
My lord, that, may be, hath endured a grief
Might equal yours, if both were justly weigh'd.
Though wayward fortune did malign my state,
My derivation was from ancestors
Who stood equivalent with mighty kings:
But time hath rooted out my parentage,
And to the world and awkward casualties
Bound me in servitude.
[Aside]
I will desist;
But there is something glows upon my cheek,
And whispers in mine ear, 'Go not till he speak.'
PERICLES
My fortunes--parentage--good parentage--
To equal mine!--was it not thus? what say you?
MARINA
I said, my lord, if you did know my parentage,
You would not do me violence.
PERICLES
I do think so.
You are like something that--What country-woman?
Here of these shores?
MARINA
No, nor of any shores:
Yet I was mortally brought forth, and am
No other than I appear.
PERICLES
I am great with woe, and shall deliver weeping.
My dearest wife was like this maid, and such a one
My daughter might have been: my queen's square brows;
Her stature to an inch; as wand-like straight;
As silver-voiced; her eyes as jewel-like
And cased as richly; in pace another Juno;
Who starves the ears she feeds, and makes them hungry,
The more she gives them speech. Where do you live?
MARINA
Where I am but a stranger: from the deck
You may discern the place.
PERICLES
Where were you bred?
And how achieved you these endowments, which
You make more rich to owe?
MARINA
If I should tell my history, it would seem
Like lies disdain'd in the reporting.
PERICLES
Prithee, speak:
Falseness cannot come from thee; for thou look'st
Modest as Justice, and thou seem'st a palace
For the crown'd Truth to dwell in: I will
believe thee,
And make my senses credit thy relation
To points that seem impossible; for thou look'st
Like one I loved indeed. What were thy friends?
Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back--
Which was when I perceived thee--that thou camest
From good descending?
PERICLES
Report thy parentage. I think thou said'st
Thou hadst been toss'd from wrong to injury,
And that thou thought'st thy griefs might equal mine,
If both were open'd.
MARINA
Some such thing
I said, and said no more but what my thoughts
Did warrant me was likely.
PERICLES
Tell thy story;
If thine consider'd prove the thousandth part
Of my endurance, thou art a man, and I
Have suffer'd like a girl: yet thou dost look
Like Patience gazing on kings' graves, and smiling
Extremity out of act. What were thy friends?
How lost thou them? Thy name, my most kind virgin?
Recount, I do beseech thee: come, sit by me.
MARINA
My name is Marina.
PERICLES
O, I am mock'd,
And thou by some incensed god sent hither
To make the world to laugh at me.
MARINA
Patience, good sir,
Or here I'll cease.
PERICLES
Nay, I'll be patient.

MARINA
The name
Was given me by one that had some power,
My father, and a king.
PERICLES
How! a king's daughter?
And call'd Marina?
MARINA
You said you would believe me;
But, not to be a troubler of your peace,
I will end here.
PERICLES
But are you flesh and blood?
Have you a working pulse? and are no fairy?
Motion! Well; speak on. Where were you born?
And wherefore call'd Marina?
MARINA
Call'd Marina
For I was born at sea.
PERICLES
At sea! what mother?
MARINA
My mother was the daughter of a king;
Who died the minute I was born,
As my good nurse Lychorida hath oft
Deliver'd weeping.
PERICLES
O, stop there a little!
[Aside]
This is the rarest dream that e'er dull sleep
Did mock sad fools withal: this cannot be:
My daughter's buried. Well: where were you bred?
I'll hear you more, to the bottom of your story,
And never interrupt you.
MARINA
You scorn: believe me, 'twere best I did give o'er.
PERICLES
I will believe you by the syllable
Of what you shall deliver. Yet, give me leave:
How came you in these parts? where were you bred?
MARINA
The king my father did in Tarsus leave me;
Till cruel Cleon, with his wicked wife,
Did seek to murder me: and having woo'd
A villain to attempt it, who having drawn to do't,
A crew of pirates came and rescued me;
Brought me to Mytilene. But, good sir,
Whither will you have me? Why do you weep?
It may be,
You think me an impostor: no, good faith;
I am the daughter to King Pericles,
If good King Pericles be.
PERICLES
Thou art a grave and noble counsellor,
Most wise in general: tell me, if thou canst,
What this maid is, or what is like to be,
That thus hath made me weep?
HELICANUS
I know not; but
Here is the regent, sir, of Mytilene
Speaks nobly of her.
LYSIMACHUS
She would never tell
Her parentage; being demanded that,
She would sit still and weep.
PERICLES
O Helicanus, strike me, honour'd sir;
Give me a gash, put me to present pain;
Lest this great sea of joys rushing upon me
O'erbear the shores of my mortality,
And drown me with their sweetness. O, come hither,
Thou that beget'st him that did thee beget;
Thou that wast born at sea, buried at Tarsus,
And found at sea again! O Helicanus,
Down on thy knees, thank the holy gods as loud
As thunder threatens us: this is Marina.
What was thy mother's name? tell me but that,
For truth can never be confirm'd enough,
Though doubts did ever sleep.
MARINA
First, sir, I pray,
What is your title?
PERICLES
I am Pericles of Tyre: but tell me now
My drown'd queen's name, as in the rest you said
Thou hast been godlike perfect,
The heir of kingdoms and another like
To Pericles thy father.
MARINA
Is it no more to be your daughter than
To say my mother's name was Thaisa?
Thaisa was my mother, who did end
The minute I began.
PERICLES
Now, blessing on thee! rise; thou art my child.
Give me fresh garments. Mine own, Helicanus;
She is not dead at Tarsus, as she should have been,
By savage Cleon: she shall tell thee all;
When thou shalt kneel, and justify in knowledge
She is thy very princess. Who is this?
HELICANUS
Sir, 'tis the governor of Mytilene,
Who, hearing of your melancholy state,
Did come to see you.
PERICLES
I embrace you.
Give me my robes. I am wild in my beholding.
O heavens bless my girl! But, hark, what music?
Tell Helicanus, my Marina, tell him
O'er, point by point, for yet he seems to doubt,
How sure you are my daughter. But, what music?
HELICANUS
My lord, I hear none.
PERICLES
None!
The music of the spheres! List, my Marina.
LYSIMACHUS
It is not good to cross him; give him way.
PERICLES
Rarest sounds! Do ye not hear?
LYSIMACHUS
My lord, I hear.
[Music]
PERICLES
Most heavenly music!
It nips me unto listening, and thick slumber
Hangs upon mine eyes: let me rest.
[Sleeps]
LYSIMACHUS
A pillow for his head:
So, leave him all. Well, my companion friends,
If this but answer to my just belief,
I'll well remember you.
[Exeunt all but PERICLES]
[DIANA appears to PERICLES as in a vision]
DIANA
My temple stands in Ephesus: hie thee thither,
And do upon mine altar sacrifice.
There, when my maiden priests are met together,
Before the people all,
Reveal how thou at sea didst lose thy wife:
To mourn thy crosses, with thy daughter's, call
And give them repetition to the life.
Or perform my bidding, or thou livest in woe;
Do it, and happy; by my silver bow!
Awake, and tell thy dream.
[Disappears]
PERICLES
Celestial Dian, goddess argentine,
I will obey thee. Helicanus!
[Re-enter HELICANUS, LYSIMACHUS, and MARINA]
PERICLES
My purpose was for Tarsus, there to strike
The inhospitable Cleon; but I am
For other service first: toward Ephesus
Turn our blown sails; eftsoons I'll tell thee why.
[To LYSIMACHUS]
Shall we refresh us, sir, upon your shore,
And give you gold for such provision
As our intents will need?
LYSIMACHUS
Sir,
With all my heart; and, when you come ashore,
I have another suit.
PERICLES
You shall prevail,
Were it to woo my daughter; for it seems
You have been noble towards her.
LYSIMACHUS
Sir, lend me your arm.
PERICLES
Come, my Marina.
[Exeunt]
Scene IIInear the altar, as high priestess; a number ofVirgins on each side; CERIMON and other Inhabitantsof Ephesus attending.
The temple of Diana at Ephesus; THAISA standing
PERICLES
Enter PERICLES, with his train; LYSIMACHUS,
HELICANUS, MARINA, and a Lady
Hail, Dian! to perform thy just command,
I here confess myself the king of Tyre;
Who, frighted from my country, did wed
At Pentapolis the fair Thaisa.
At sea in childbed died she, but brought forth
A maid-child call'd Marina; who, O goddess,
Wears yet thy silver livery. She at Tarsus
Was nursed with Cleon; who at fourteen years
He sought to murder: but her better stars
Brought her to Mytilene; 'gainst whose shore
Riding, her fortunes brought the maid aboard us,
Where, by her own most clear remembrance, she
Made known herself my daughter.
THAISA
Voice and favour!

[Faints]
PERICLES
What means the nun? she dies! help, gentlemen!
CERIMON
Noble sir,
If you have told Diana's altar true,
This is your wife.
PERICLES
Reverend appearer, no;
I threw her overboard with these very arms.
CERIMON
Upon this coast, I warrant you.
PERICLES
'Tis most certain.
CERIMON
Look to the lady; O, she's but o'erjoy'd.
Early in blustering morn this lady was
Thrown upon this shore. I oped the coffin,
Found there rich jewels; recover'd her, and placed her
Here in Diana's temple.
PERICLES
May we see them?
CERIMON
Great sir, they shall be brought you to my house,
Whither I invite you. Look, Thaisa is recovered.
THAISA
O, let me look!
If he be none of mine, my sanctity
Will to my sense bend no licentious ear,
But curb it, spite of seeing. O, my lord,
Are you not Pericles? Like him you spake,
Like him you are: did you not name a tempest,
A birth, and death?
PERICLES
The voice of dead Thaisa!

THAISA
Now I know you better.
When we with tears parted Pentapolis,
The king my father gave you such a ring.
[Shows a ring]
PERICLES
This, this: no more, you gods! your present kindness
Makes my past miseries sports: you shall do well,
That on the touching of her lips I may
Melt and no more be seen. O, come, be buried
A second time within these arms.
MARINA
My heart
Leaps to be gone into my mother's bosom.
[Kneels to THAISA]
PERICLES
Look, who kneels here! Flesh of thy flesh, Thaisa;
Thy burden at the sea, and call'd Marina
For she was yielded there.
THAISA
Blest, and mine own!
HELICANUS
Hail, madam, and my queen!
PERICLES
You have heard me say, when I did fly from Tyre,
I left behind an ancient substitute:
Can you remember what I call'd the man?
I have named him oft.
THAISA
'Twas Helicanus then.
PERICLES
Still confirmation:
Embrace him, dear Thaisa; this is he.
Now do I long to hear how you were found;
How possibly preserved; and who to thank,
Besides the gods, for this great miracle.
THAISA
Lord Cerimon, my lord; this man,
Through whom the gods have shown their power; that can
From first to last resolve you.

CERIMON
I will, my lord.
Beseech you, first go with me to my house,
Where shall be shown you all was found with her;
How she came placed here in the temple;
No needful thing omitted.
PERICLES
Pure Dian, bless thee for thy vision! I
Will offer night-oblations to thee. Thaisa,
This prince, the fair-betrothed of your daughter,
Shall marry her at Pentapolis.
THAISA
Lord Cerimon hath letters of good credit, sir,
My father's dead.
PERICLES
Heavens make a star of him! Yet there, my queen,
We'll celebrate their nuptials, and ourselves
Will in that kingdom spend our following days:
Our son and daughter shall in Tyrus reign.
Lord Cerimon, we do our longing stay
To hear the rest untold: sir, lead's the way.
[Exeunt]
[Enter GOWER]
GOWER
In Antiochus and his daughter you have heard
Of monstrous lust the due and just reward:
In Pericles, his queen and daughter, seen,
Although assail'd with fortune fierce and keen,
Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast,
Led on by heaven, and crown'd with joy at last:
In Helicanus may you well descry
A figure of truth, of faith, of loyalty:
In reverend Cerimon there well appears
The worth that learned charity aye wears:
For wicked Cleon and his wife, when fame
Had spread their cursed deed, and honour'd name
Of Pericles, to rage the city turn,
That him and his they in his palace burn;
The gods for murder seemed so content
To punish them; although not done, but meant.
 Here our play has ending.

| geom_dotplot {ggplot2} | R Documentation |
In a dot plot, the width of a dot corresponds to the bin width (or maximum width, depending on the binning algorithm), and dots are stacked, with each dot representing one observation.
geom_dotplot( mapping = NULL, data = NULL, position = "identity", ..., binwidth = NULL, binaxis = "x", method = "dotdensity", binpositions = "bygroup", stackdir = "up", stackratio = 1, dotsize = 1, stackgroups = FALSE, origin = NULL, right = TRUE, width = 0.9, drop = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, show.legend = NA, inherit.aes = TRUE )

binpositions |
When |
stackdir |
which direction to stack the dots. "up" (default), "down", "center", "centerwhole" (centered, but with dots aligned) |
stackratio |
how close to stack the dots. Default is 1, where dots just touch. Use smaller values for closer, overlapping dots. |

There are two basic approaches: dot-density and histodot.
With dot-density binning, the bin positions are determined by the data and
binwidth
, which is the maximum width of each bin. See Wilkinson
(1999) for details on the dot-density binning algorithm. With histodot
binning, the bins have fixed positions and fixed widths, much like a
histogram.
When binning along the x axis and stacking along the y axis, the numbers on y axis are not meaningful, due to technical limitations of ggplot2. You can hide the y axis, as in one of the examples, or manually scale it to match the number of dots.
geom_dotplot()
understands the following aesthetics (required aesthetics are in bold):
x
y
alpha
colour
fill
group
linetype
stroke
Learn more about setting these aesthetics in vignette("ggplot2-specs")
.

For all enquiries for the Education Funding Agency
Guidance
Information for commercial and charitable providers (CCPs) funded by EFA.
This page provides information for commercial and charitable providers ( CCPs ) who receive Education Funding Agency ( EFA ) formula funding for the provision of 16 to 19 education.
EFA directly funds colleges, providers, schools, academies and independent specialist providers for the provision of education and training to students aged 16 to 19 (or are aged 19 to 24 and have an Education Heath and Care Plan (EHCP). Every year EFA reviews the procedures for prospective providers of education to be recognised and receive funding.
In December each year, EFA issue the details of the funding factors that will be used to calculate each CCPs ’ funding allocation for the following year.
This is followed by an allocation statement in March, which is the final funding allocation for 16 to 19 students, high needs students aged 16 to 24 and bursary funding.
Further information about funding allocations can be found on GOV.UK.
All providers, other stakeholders and local authorities that receive EFA formula funding for the provision of 16 to 19 education should comply with the funding guidance .

 I've been building software since before you were potty-trained and I know what I'm doing. I know what customers want and I know how to build it for them.
Er, except for the fact that I'm usually wrong.
When I first encountered A/B testing, I had fixed a bug in a search engine and tried to push my change. It was rejected. Why? Because I hadn't wrapped it in an A/B test. I was confused. Why would I want to A/B test a bugfix? Under certain conditions our search engine would return no results and I fixed it to ensure that it would not only return results, but they would be relevant results.
Boss: I don't care. A/B test it anyway.
So I did. And it was painful, waiting days for the results to come in ... and being dismayed to see very clearly that improving the behavior of the search engine led to significantly lower customer conversion. I even questioned the validity of the data, but to no avail. It took me a long time to truly realize the implications, but it harmonizes quite well with other things I teach about software:
Software behavior should be considered buggy when it causes unwanted customer behavior, not unwanted software behavior.
Yes, that's an oversimplification, but bear with me.
I had a client who introduced a horizontal scroll bar to their e-commerce site and significantly improved sales. Another company found that removing social media buttons increased conversions. And I found that our customers didn't respond well to better search results.
For many people those ideas might sound counter-intuitive, but they had real data to back them up. Instead, here's what often happens when you have experts guiding development by their "experience":
Quite often you won't find out that sales dropped as a result of a particular change because you haven't measured your customer's behavior and ignoring your customers is, by anyone's reckoning, a recipe for disaster. Remember how Digg went from king of the web to court jester in 2010 because they ignored their customers?
A/B testing is not a silver bullet, but it's an excellent way of getting real, honest, data-driven answers to your questions. And if you have an ego, it's a punch in the gut. Again and again and again. Why? Because the vast majority of A/B tests are inconclusive (no apparent change in behavior) or negative (you probably lost money).
Your customers care about what your customers care about. Unfortunately, they often don't know what they care about until they experience it first-hand or some bandwagon effect kicks in and everyone piles on (this can be either good or bad for you).
To give an example of how problematic this can be, consider the case of a company in France a friend of mind was running (sorry, I can't disclose the name). It was was a very innovative paid search engine covering a very technical field. The company raised a lot of seed funding and was growing steadily, but it wasn't profitable because potential customers weren't signing up fast enough. Surveys revealed they wanted the search engine to return research results in French and English. This was because the top research in this field was published in English and the French professionals wanted access to it.
Given that the search engine was in French and it was searching highly technical documents, converting it to also search English documents, search them correctly, buy subscriptions to the various technical sources those documents were found in, and presenting them seamlessly on a French-language website turned out to be both expensive and time-consuming. And it wasn't just development costs: it was ongoing costs to subscribe to, parse, and index the English language materials.
The feature was released to much fanfare and potential customers didn't care. At all. They asked for this feature but it had no significant impact on conversion. As it turns out, French professionals may very well speak English, but they still preferred French. What they wanted wasn't English-language documents; they wanted a reassurance they were getting a good value for their money. Given that the company had a simple metric—new customer subscriptions—A/B testing could have been a far less expensive way of divining this information. Maybe only provide a single English-language source. Maybe provide testimonials. Maybe something as simple as playing with language or images may have had an impact?
Instead, the cost of development, the opportunity cost of not developing other features or spending on marketing, and the ongoing cost of maintaining the English-language corpus were all significant contributing factors to the collapse of the company.
The literature is rife with stories of companies listening to what their customers say instead of paying attention to what their customers do. A/B testing tells you what they're actually doing.
A/B testing is a powerful tool in your toolbox, but it shouldn't be considered the only tool. Further, just as you don't use a hammer with screws, you shouldn't misuse A/B testing. Evan Miller has a great article entitled How Not To Run an A/B Test.
But statistical flaws aside, there are other issues with A/B testing. As part of your agile toolkit, you want to run them often. If you only release new versions of your software quarterly you're going to struggle to rapidly respond to customer needs. If you're testing at the bottom of a conversion funnel and only get 10 visitors a week, you might wait months to get a meaningful result. Or maybe you've run a very successful A/B test, but it's not related to KPIs of the company.
And the killer, one I've seen all too often: "that idea is rubbish! We don't need to test that!"
If you've made A/B tests painful to set up and can only run them periodically, I can understand that attitude (but the A/B test isn't the real problem there). However, if you can easily run tests and respond to results quickly, it often makes sense to test "dumb" ideas. Consider the case of the horizontal scroll bar I mentioned earlier.

First, the key thing to remember is that A/B tests tell you what your customers are doing, but not why.
With the horizontal scroll bar, the test clearly showed increased conversion, but the designer was extremely unhappy. After a lot of thought and examining the page, she noticed something interesting. A side effect of the horizontal scroll bar was that the full product description was now visible without vertical scrolling. She redesigned the page to use a vertical scroll bar instead of a horizontal one, but kept the full product description visible.
Once again there was another nice increase in conversion rates, significantly better than the original version.
Your expertise isn't in dictating features, it's in designing experiments and interpreting the results.
So you see? Your experience still matters and you can keep feeding your ego, but now you have hard data to back it up.
If you're not doing A/B testing, you really should consider it. There are plenty of companies which provide simple tools for integrating A/B testing into your Web site. Once you understand them, and you get a feel for the power of A/B testing, it's time for you to start building an internal tool that's more suitable for your needs. You'll be able to test things you could never test before, and you'll have better access to customer segmentation data.
Stop doing ego-driven development. This is a typical story card we see today:
As a <developer>
I want to <build random stuff>
So that <the boss stays happy>
This is what you're really looking for:
We suspect that <building this feature>
... <for these people>
... will achieve <this measurable result>
We will know we succeeded when we see <this market signal>.

China holds in-depth talks with US on phase one of trade deal
China and the United States are holding in-depth discussions on the first phase of a trade pact, and cancelling tariffs is an important condition to reach a deal, the Asian giant's commerce ministry said on Thursday.
BEIJING: China and the United States are holding in-depth discussions on a "phase one" trade agreement, and cancelling tariffs is an important condition to reach such a deal, the Chinese commerce ministry said on Thursday.
The degree of tariff cancellation should fully reflect the importance of a phase one agreement, ministry spokesman Gao Feng told a regular briefing.
On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump said a trade deal with China was "close," but offered no details and warned that he would raise tariffs "substantially" on Chinese goods without such a deal.
Trump's threat was a reference to previously announced tariffs of 15per cent on about US$156 billion of Chinese consumer goods set to take effect on Dec. 15, according to trade experts and a source close to the White House.
Those tariffs would hit video game consoles, computer monitors, Christmas decorations and items given as gifts during the approaching festive season.
Last week, White House advisers said the Dec. 15 tariffs would probably be averted if a phase one trade deal was reached.
Highlighting the volatile state of play in the 16-month long trade war, officials of both sides had said last week they had a deal to roll back tariffs, only to have Trump deny any deal had been agreed.
Trump has used tariffs on billions of dollars of Chinese goods as his primary weapon in the trade war, which is aimed at forcing major changes in China's trade and industrial policies.
The United States is demanding that China end the theft and forced transfer of American intellectual property and curb subsidies to state-owned enterprises, while granting U.S. companies more access to China's markets.
Trump also wants China to vastly increase its purchases of U.S. farm products.
China and the United States were on the brink of a deal in May when Beijing backed away, prompting Trump to raise tariff rates and embark on new rounds of punitive duties.
If an interim deal is finished and signed, it is widely expected to include a U.S. pledge to scrap tariffs scheduled for Dec. 15.
But China was also seeking cancellation of other U.S. tariffs put in place since July 2018.
Gao said last week that both countries must simultaneously cancel some tariffs on each other's goods to strike a phase one pact.

Next: Printing Other Objects, Previous: Printing Pathnames, Up: Default Print-Object Methods
By default, a structure of type S is printed using #S syntax. This behavior can be customized by specifying a :print-function or :print-object option to the defstruct form that defines S, or by writing a print-object method that is specialized for objects of type S.
Different structures might print out in different ways; the default notation for structures is:
#S(structure-name {slot-key slot-value}*)
where #S indicates structure syntax, structure-name is a structure name, each slot-key is an initialization argument name for a slot in the structure, and each corresponding slot-value is a representation of the object in that slot.
For information on how the Lisp reader parses structures, see Sharpsign S.

An idea that originated at
Umeå University but continued to be developed outside of school.
The purpose of the application is to connect people around the world, but with images instead of text messages.
There are no friend lists and no way to search for users, instead images are served to the user instantaneous after a picture is taken. The user can then select which picture to respond to and then begin an "image only"-conversation.
Repli is running on Google App Engine
for scalability and currently supports Android as the mobile platform.
Another mobile application developed at Umeå University for the Advanced Distributed Systems course.
The purpose of the app is to let the user organize events in a fast and convenient way. There are a few ways of organizing friends and/or colleagues for an event, the most popular probably being facebook. But sometimes the event can be something not "worthy" for a facebook event, perhaps it only involves 6-7 people and starts in 1 hour.
ReadyApp makes it very convenient to create an event, invite people from a contact list and initate a ready check. The ready check will send a notification to every attendee in the event which they can respond ready or not ready to. This makes organizing small activities or events a breeze.
The course Software Development Techniques gave the oppurtunity to
develop a fully functional system for the research group EpiCoN, using modern methods such as Scrum to mimic a "real world" project.
Genomizer is a system for storing and analyzing data related to DNA research. There is extensive documentation on Github where all details can be found. The documentation and code needed to be very clear and understandable since new students will continue developing the system every year.
I worked with the communications group in this project, which meant connecting clients (web, iOS, Android and desktop) with the server using a RESTful API (which I created!).


Fighting Fraud and Making Medicare Stronger
Crosspost from The White House Blog
Fighting Medicare fraud has long been a top priority for President Obama. Today, we are releasing a new infographic that describes how the Affordable Care Act – the new health care law – is helping the Obama Administration crack down on Medicare fraud and make Medicare stronger. The new infographic shows how the law increases penalties for criminals who commit fraud and provides new enforcement tools to stop fraud and save taxpayers money.
We are committed to using these new tools to fight Medicare and other health care fraud, and we are getting results: The Administration’s anti-fraud efforts recovered $4.1 billion in taxpayer dollars last year, the second year recoveries hit this record-breaking level. Total recoveries over the last three years were $10.7 billion. Prosecutions are way up, too: the number of individuals charged with fraud increased from 797 in fiscal year 2008 to 1,430 in fiscal year 2011 – a more than 75 percent increase.
Just last week, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice announced “a nationwide takedown by Medicare Fraud Strike Force operations in seven cities has resulted in charges against 107 individuals, including doctors, nurses and other licensed medical professionals, for their alleged participation in Medicare fraud schemes involving approximately $452 million in false billing.” And on Monday, the Departments announced that, as a part of their Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team initiative, they had resolved an investigation into a pharmaceutical company’s unlawful promotion of a prescription drug. The Justice Department reported that, “the resolution – the second largest payment by a drug company – includes a criminal fine and forfeiture totaling $700 million and civil settlements with the federal government and the states totaling $800 million.”
The infographic also shows how the Affordable Care Act is making Medicare stronger and providing new benefits. For example:
- 32.5 million people with Medicare received at least one free preventive service thanks to the health care law.
- People with Medicare who hit the prescription drug donut hole have already saved $3.4 billion on their prescription drugs.
- By 2021, the average person with Medicare will save nearly $4,200 thanks to the new health care law.
