So, I have some crazy news: We're taking a (very) spontaneous quick trip to Amsterdam! Leaving tomorrow!! Here's the story: We were planning to take Toby to Europe this summer, but we priced out the flights, and it was prohibitively expensive. (Summer flights to most major European cities started at $1400; and we'd need to buy three.) We figured our Europe dreams were dashed, until we realized that if we squeezed a trip in April, the flights were much less expensive—and the overall trip would be doable if we stayed for just a handful of days.. (We'll miss this little dude) Friday, April 20, 2012 Crazy news: We're going to Amsterdam! Posted by creation of the nation at 9:11 PM Labels: amsterdam, our vacations, Personal, travel

TMZ has obtained very blurry footage of Solange getting lashing out at Jay Z – to the point where she had to be physically restrained – in an elevator at the Standard Hotel after the Met Ball last week. Beyoncé is also there, looking on at her sister and husband fighting. Advertisement It's difficult to tell what's going on in the video, which has no sound and consists of elevator security footage filmed with another camera. It does show the three entering an elevator, at which point Solange almost immediately starts pushing Jay. While kicking out with her heel, Solange is held back by her bodyguard, who TMZ believes you can see also hitting the emergency stop button on the elevator. Beyoncé barely intervenes, though she does seem to be talking to the pair. TMZ also has video of the three leaving the Standard, apparently immediately after leaving this elevator. Beyoncé and Solange get in one car and after conversing with a body man, Jay gets in another one. In those shots, Beyoncé is the only one smiling. Advertisement There is absolutely no way to know what got Solange so angry and considering how secretive this family is, it's doubtful any actual details will come out. But speculation abounds: is it related to long-held rumors of Jay cheating on Beyoncé? Did Jay say something to offend Solange? Is she just an angry drunk? Are they all used to this bickering? (Earlier today Solange was feeling pretty good.) In any case, the Uber driver I had a few months ago who stopped driving Solange and Beyoncé because he said they were "rude" and "not that pretty" is probably feeling really vindicated right now.

Makerspaces Move into Academic LibrariesPosted: November 28, 2012 | Author: Erin Fisher | Filed under: library | 14 Comments » During the past year, makerspaces have been gaining traction in libraries. A makerspace is a place where people come together to design and build projects. Makerspaces typically provide access to materials, tools, and technologies to allow for hands-on exploration and participatory learning. They are occasionally referred to as fablabs, hackerspaces or tech shops. Makerspaces emerged around 2005 as an offshoot of the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) movement. A makerspace often includes a 3-D printer, digital media and fabrication software, tools for welding, woodworking, and soldering, traditional arts and crafts supplies, and other electronics. However, makerspaces are defined not by specific equipment but by a guiding purpose to provide people with a place to experiment, create, and learn. The Fayetteville Free Library in New York was the first library to create a dedicated makerspace, which they call the FFL Fab Lab. A handful of other public libraries have since developed similar spaces. If you are interested in learning more about these initiatives, Library Journal recently published a three-piece article on makerspaces in public libraries. A select number of academic libraries have also embraced the concept. The Value of Makerspaces Makerspaces fill a variety of needs within an educational setting. Most importantly, they provide opportunities for people to learn with their hands. Hands-on learning and creation is often devalued in education and seen as meaningless play. However, play has profound educational benefits. Play aids in the development of critical thinking and problem solving skills. As Dr. Stuart Brown explains, through play we “stumble upon new behaviors, thoughts, strategies, movements, or ways of being” (18). 1 Critical thinking and problem solving skills are invaluable to our students. Upon graduation, they will enter into a world and workforce that is rapidly changing; and they will be asked to solve real-world problems with innovative solutions. However, our current education system often lacks opportunities for most students to learn with their hands. Students studying art, theatre, music and dance do, but others often do not. By integrating makerspaces into libraries, we can support and expand opportunities for hands-on experimentation and learning. We can provide spaces for all students, no matter their major, “to work through problems in a repeated process of brainstorming, testing solutions, and going back to the drawing board.” 2 In doing so, we can aid in the development of crucial problem solving skills. Makerspaces are also an ideal way to support changing modes of learning. The academic landscape is shifting to some extent from a traditional teaching culture to a learning culture. A teaching culture consists of an expert transferring knowledge to students, whereas a learning culture utilizes active learning techniques. Student assignments have evolved as a result. As Lisa Kurt, Emerging Technologies Librarian at the DeLaMare Library at the University of Nevada, Reno, explained in an email interview, “Faculty are teaching by going beyond testing and asking their students to create content beyond papers. We are seeing assignments asking students to create posters, presentations, videos, tutorials, various prototypes and models (not just from the 3D printer).”3 By bringing makerspaces into libraries, we can adapt to changing student needs and supporting knowledge creation in addition to knowledge consumption. Makerspaces also allow us to expose students to cutting-edge technologies that could eventually lead to new entrepreneurial opportunities. Technology is revolutionizing the way we play, learn and work. In April 2012, The Economist wrote about “The Third Industrial Revolution,” and 3-D printers were central to their predictions about what manufacturing will look like in the future. The accessibility and low cost of 3-D printers and fabrication software means that anyone can be a maker, and anyone can interact with the technology to create innovative solutions to real-world problems. By providing students with access to the tools and technologies to design and build projects, libraries can help students gain new knowledge and develop marketable skills. As Lisa Kurt explains, “giving students a leg up by creating an environment where DIY and independent learning is encouraged is invaluable because they will learn not only specific software, but they will learn how to find resources and how to learn something that is new to them–something they may not yet have encountered.” 4 Academic libraries are places where people from all disciplines gather. By bringing makerspaces into libraries, we can provide opportunities for new types of rich cross-disciplinary interaction to occur. Libraries are open to all campus constituents, and are thus perfectly positioned to provide equal and convenient access to makerspace materials, tools and technologies. In a makerspace, students from all areas can work together to share expertise, learn new skills, expand their thinking and discover new possibilities. We can open up opportunities for those majoring in nursing, education, biology, music, geography, and every other discipline. Moving into Academic Libraries More and more academic libraries are aware of the relevance and benefits of makerspaces. A handful of institutions have already implemented aspects of makerspaces with great success. Other academic libraries are eager for more information about equipment and programming. As you consider what tools and technologies to include in your makerspace, remember that educational goals should guide the creation of your space. But if you are curious about the hardware in current academic library makerspaces, read on. The University of Nevada, Reno’s DeLaMare Science and Engineering Library was the first academic library in the country to begin offering 3-D printing to all students. 5 The printers haven’t stopped running since the library began offering the service in July 2012. Students and faculty involved in engineering, chemistry, theatre, art, anthropology and other disciplines have all benefited from the technology. Lisa Kurt specifically mentioned that “two Chemistry faculty printed prototypes of molecules they’ve been working with for years. In doing this, they’ve made new discoveries. Being able to hold the object and see it in 3-D has allowed them to make adjustments and then recreate them.” 6 The library is also collaborating with community organizations to host events that promote hands-on learning. Twice now, they have worked with Bridgewire, a local makerspace, to provide popular lock-picking workshops. Currently the library has a UPrintSE Plus and a 3-D Touch. You can see the 3-D printer at UNR in action here. In July 2012, the library at the University Of Mary Washington converted an unused classroom into a ThinkLab as part of collaboration with the university’s College of Education and the Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies. Within the space, there are two Thing-O-Matics, a Replicator, and a Printrbot, as well as other tools. The space is open to the entire university and is also being used for a first year seminar class on “Mashups and Makerbots: Building in the Virtual and Physical Worlds.” You can learn more about the class and the space here:. 7 The Odum Library at Valdosta State University in Valdosta, Georgia is also developing a makerspace, which they hope to have fully operational in Spring 2013. Michael Holt, Assistant Professor and Reference Librarian, said the space will include “a fully functioning sandbox network that includes our own server rack (that resides in our makerspace) and several open source programming and engineering tools.” Additional electronics and tools will also exist, and Holt hopes to teach relevant classes or workshops within the space. Currently, Holt is working with a small group of students on similar projects. One of the group’s achievements includes building an instance of Jason Griffey’s LibraryBox. In doing so, they can now “distribute documentation, source code, plans, and .cad files (or any kind of file really) related to makerspace builds and projects.” 8 For libraries looking for low-tech or low-cost ways to bring makerspaces into their buildings, the options are endless. Low-tech projects could be dreamed up with craft supplies and other materials like Legos, play dough, LED lights, old clothing, wooden blocks, duct tape and more. Make magazine is a great resource for project ideas of all kinds. Conclusion At the heart of academic libraries lies a commitment to growth, learning, and exploration. Academic libraries in particular strive to be the intellectual hub of campus—a place where students, faculty and staff from all disciplines can gather to explore, create and gain new knowledge. Libraries are perfectly positioned to fill a gap in our education system and expand our reach by providing materials, spaces and support for collaborative making. By bringing makerspaces into libraries, we can provide more options for self-directed, innovative learning; we can provide a space that acts as an incubator for ideas; and we can provide tools for the rapid prototyping of those ideas. Over the years, academic libraries have successfully adapted to cultural, technological and educational shifts in order to meet the needs of our campuses. Incorporating makerspaces into our broad mix of services, resources and technologies seems like a natural way to continue our evolution.

Orbea has introduced a new aero lid called the R10 Aero MIPS with the goal of further cheating the wind via a new compact design and enhanced aerodynamic properties. According to Orbea, wind tunnel testing has revealed that a helmet’s profile and volume are more important than the number of air vents (or lack there of) when it comes to reducing drag. Indeed, if the shape of the helmet is closely adjusted to the rider’s head, it will produce more efficient results than a standard high-volume helmet. As a result, Orbea was able to optimize the shape, weight and ventilation of the new R10 Aero MIPS to exploit maximum aerodynamics, cooling and comfort. The R10 Aero MIPS comprises the Spanish brand’s four-layer TC Technology (EPS foam core, molded polycarbonate shell, nylon mesh, and carbon fiber) in order to yield optimal comfort in a low-mass highly ventilated design that’s claimed to be 3% more aerodynamically efficient than the company’s previous flagship model, the Odin. Furthermore, the switch to nylon and carbon fiber internal layers used to reinforce the new helmet’s structure has also resulted in a design that’s 15% lighter and more compact than the Odin as well. Additionally, the use of MIPS technology has greatly improved the impact resistance of the R10 Aero MIPS considerably, by reducing the amount of rotational force during a crash. Pricing for the R10 Aero MIPS is €229, which Orbea says will become available starting next month.

We’re looking to create more ad-funded content for brands in 2019: Myleeta Aga Myleeta Aga, Senior Vice President and General Manager, South and South East Asia at BBC Studios, does a round-up of the year gone by for content production house, the merger with BBC Worldwide, key developments, content strategy for 2019 and more. How has BBC Studios fared in 2018? How has the merger with BBC Worldwide contributed to your business in India? The year 2018 has been great for us. The merger of BBC Worldwide and BBC Studios has enabled the company to bring content creation and distribution together under one entity, which will be key to our creative and commercial success in the long run. The combined BBC Studios builds on the unique heritage of both organisations, with British creativity and outstanding content at the heart of the company. The new BBC Studios sees content through the full cycle of development, commissioning, production and co-production, sales and distribution. In India, our successful partnerships continue this year. Our JV channel, Sony BBC Earth, has in less than 12 months of its launch consistently rated among the top factual entertainment channels in six metros here. It was also recently recognised with four awards at Promax BDA Asia 2018. Our BBC First programme block on Zee Café received positive response from the viewers and we are currently looking at exploring more opportunities with premium British drama with them, and our production business is doing some very exciting new shows. The merger has strengthened the India operations. The merged BBC Studios brings together UK’s most awarded production business, a world-class content sales business, our unique portfolio of brands, and a network of premium indie partners to create and export quality British programmes in this age of content. What has been the range of content that you produced in 2018? Among the highlights, we have produced Indian versions of BBC formats, ‘Criminal Justice’ and ‘The Office’ with Applause Entertainment. We’ve also produced ‘Elevator Pitch’ for MTV, ‘Zindagi U-Turn’ for Zing, branded content ‘Castrol Garage Guru – The Super Mechanic Show’ for Zee Anmol. We have licensed a Nepali version of BBC format, ‘Dancing with the Stars’ for Nepal Television and ‘Shriman Shrimati Phir Se’ for Sony SAB. This year also marks BBC Studios India’s first international production of ‘Stupid Man Smart Phone’ for a terrestrial channel in Singapore and ‘Got Science’ for pay TV channel, BBC Earth in Asia. How are you strategising to grow you branded content business in 2019? Advertiser-funded programme is a broad range of programming that allows brands to connect with their audiences through storytelling. We have been working in this space for some time now and so we understand the brands’ requirements and we know how to take a story and put it together with the brand so that it becomes seamless. We did three seasons of ‘Har Ghar Kucch Kehta Hai’, which really worked for Asian Paints without putting a single can of paint in a single frame across seasons. We’ve also done shows like ‘Stupid Man Smart Phone’ (presented by Vodafone and powered by Motorola) for Voot, and ‘I Can You Can’ in partnership with Nicotex and most recently, ‘Castrol Garage Guru’ for Zee Anmol, which were huge successes. We will be exploring opportunities to create more ad-funded content for brands in 2019. What are your plans for regional content in the year ahead? Producing regional content is one of our key focus areas in 2019. We are looking at building some partnerships, however it’s too early to talk about it. For us, regional includes South Asian countries ,with an increasing appetite for global and Indian content. Could you tell us about your tie-up with Applause Entertainment for content? We have produced Indian versions of BBC formats, ‘Criminal Justice’ and ‘The Office’ for Applause Entertainment. Both will be long format shows and there is more to come. How do you see the impact of digitisation on television business? As OTT and SVOD platforms evolve, TV will need to evolve as well. I don’t believe that any medium is going to become irrelevant. Let’s remember, when television came in, everyone thought radio would die. That didn’t happen; instead, it adapted and found new audiences and content and continues to do so. So, I certainly don’t think broadcast will become redundant – even from a revenue perspective. What we are seeing is the creation of new formats and innovative content and delivery ecosystems in which there are new platforms, which, in turn, are reinvigorating the older ones. If we talk about creative excellence and business, both OTT and television are progressing and innovating and are ultimately a means to reaching audiences for our content and fans of our brands. Any big shows that BBC Studios will be producing for GECs in India? We see a lot of opportunities to create content in India and new business models. We will continue to leverage the capabilities of our production house as creator and adaptor of quality content to take our business to the next level. In 2019, we will be strengthening our production line-up for OTT platforms. We have also started local, regional and global productions for both digital and linear television. GECs remain a key partner for us moving forward. YouTube Tweet

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract). 1. Introduction Machine learning (ML) topic models are popularly used for different Natural Language Processing (NLP) related tasks. Although it ignores word semantics, topic models provide better results with least user involvement. Unsupervised topic models are frequently used for domain exploration in many research areas where training data is not available or is expensive to produce. Topic models are the statistics based techniques, evaluating words cooccurrence probabilities, where the results improve with the size of data. The relation based techniques struggle with the richness of natural language, to explore all possible forms that a word can have. Lifelong learning models put an end to the traditional single-shot learning with the aim of improving the accuracy of single-domain data. The big textual data has large volume and has variety of domains discussed and the data is being poured in continuously and is expected to have inconsistencies and noise. Keeping up with the amount and flow of content, lifelong learning models can help build practical applications. The unsupervised topic models extract incoherent topics as well along with the coherent topics [1–5]. Different extensions of topic models are proposed to improve their accuracy. The semisupervised topic models used manually provided seed aspects to help find more relevant product aspects [6–9]. Supervised topic models are trained for a domain to achieve high accuracy at it. Hybrid models are trained on small labeled data to predict suitable initial values for topic model [10–15]. Knowledge-based topic models are guided by domain experts with knowledge rules instead of seed terms to deal with incoherent topics [16–18]. Transfer-learning based topic models are trained on one domain and tested on another single target domain closely related to it that is known prior to analysis. However, all of these models dealt with improving the accuracy for a single domain. Therefore, they lack scalability and cannot be used for big data consisting of multiple unknown domains. Despite their high accuracy, these models have limited application as they are devised for a single-domain analysis. Lifelong machine learning model takes a completely new dimension to use a model that can process many unknown domains. It incorporates automatically generated knowledge to improve the quality and coherence of topics without requiring any external support. The model maintains its own knowledge-base that grows with experience and so the model matures in decisions to attain improved accuracy. LML models are the computational systems that process tasks and retain popular patterns from it. This approach is also called human-like learning or never ending learning in the literature. Lifelong learning is only recently introduced to NLP tasks. Never Ending Language Learner (NELL) is considered the first attempt to use lifelong learning for NLP [19]. It extracts information from web sources to extend a knowledge-base in an endless manner, aiming to achieve improved performance with experience. Unlike other machine learning approaches, there is little research work available on lifelong machine learning for NLP related tasks. There are four main components of LML models that are knowledge representation, extraction, transfer, retention, and maintenance, discussed in [20]. These components are strongly connected and analyzing them for quality improvement is called knowledge engineering. The knowledge learnt is represented through an abstracted set of features. The extraction component focuses on identifying popular patterns and mining them as potential knowledge. The transfer component is responsible for transferring the impact of knowledge into the modeling process when suitable. The retention and maintenance module deals with storing knowledge for future use. The objective is to use knowledge to reduce the number of incoherent topics. Topic coherence means that the words in a topic do not semantically hold well together. Topic incoherence can be of various types, that is, chained, intruded, random, and unbalanced, as explained by [21]. Chained problem refers to the case where there are word pairs having strong interconnection forming a chain but there is no collective relatedness among the words of a topic. Intruded topics have set of words with good corelation within the set but not fitting well with the rest of the words in the topic. Random topics do not make any sense while unbalanced topics have a mix of general and specific terms that does not hold good together. With the incoherence problems known, the modules of LML model can be modified to closely focus on them. Lifelong learning topic models are introduced to benefit from the knowledge-base while keeping it independent of domain specific manual tuning. This makes it possible for topic models to mine topics from big data with many domains. Automatic Knowledge Learning (AKL) model [22] is the first such model that used automatic knowledge learning for topic models. Later, there are different lifelong learning models proposed where the process of knowledge extraction and transfer is refined for improved accuracy and performance. However, they still have limitations to be addressed. The existing LML models lack a knowledge maintenance and retention module. Therefore, they have to load topics from all tasks performed to sample relevant knowledge for the current task. The knowledge learnt is limited which was initially consisting of must-links as word pairs having strong positive corelation. In later models cannot-links were also added as word pairs with strong negative corelation. Following batch processing approach, they expect the big data to be available prior to analysis. If topics of an already performed task are removed, the learning curve of the model is affected. Therefore, existing state-of-the-art models consume more storage and processing resources and do not provide support for streaming data arriving in pieces. The proposed model is online, that is, processing one domain at a time, as they are received. Each domain is processed only once, with the knowledge available at that time. After processing each domain, the knowledge-base is updated. With a knowledge retention module, it does not require loading all the topics from the previously processed domains. It makes the model lightweight without compromising accuracy. The model has low data dependency where it only has to load the occurrences of relevant knowledge maintained in abstract form. The contributions of this paper are highlighted below. 2. Highlights () With online approach, it processes the data as it is received in intervals. It makes the proposed model closer to the essence of big data streaming from different sources. () Knowledge retention module is introduced to store knowledge in abstract form. Unlike existing models to load topics from all domains, it only consults the knowledge-base, thus reducing dependency on data. Therefore, it is efficient in performance and resource utilization. () Must-links and cannot-links are extracted with a single mechanism, that is, normalized Pointwise Mutual Information (PMI) as nPMI [23]. They are stored, maintained, and transferred irrespective of their orientation for improved performance. () Being online the proposed model has limited data at a time to learn from and is expected to learn low quality knowledge. Knowledge freshness, utility, and confidence are introduced to monitor, prioritize, and even filter out knowledge if not contributing considerably. () Knowledge representation and abstraction are improved to resolve word sense disambiguation without consulting all the processed domains. Knowledge rules are supported with background, representing top topic words from which the rule is mined. Reasonable overlap between the current domain and a knowledge background suggests same word sense. 3. Related Work Probabilistic topic models based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) extract corelations among words through statistical computations by calculating probabilities of words coexistence [24]. It uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) inference to combine words under topics having a thematic relevance. Following bag-of-words (BOW) approach it considers words presence and their positions. Initially introduced with variational Bayesian technique, mostly Gibbs sampling is used for inference to converge the analysis towards more probable groupings in the given number of iterations mostly kept high in thousands. The accuracy of topic models relies on the initial values for hyperparameters as well; however, it generally performs well for larger datasets. Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA) [25] having extensions is also used for topic modeling; however, LDA is preferred for adjustable priors to closely refer to the nature of specific documents and topics. LDA holds the advantage of identifying and aggregating topics together, where they are separate steps in other approaches, for example, dictionary based and relation based. The extensions of unsupervised LDA used for aspect and sentiment terms extraction as topics are [1–5]. The hybrid topic models used for topic extraction and sentiment analysis are [10–15]. The semisupervised LDA models guided with initial seed aspect terms for topic extraction as product aspects are [6–9]. To improve the accuracy of topic models while keeping the user involvement to minimum, knowledge-based semisupervised models are proposed. The purpose of these models is to provide domain specific knowledge rules that guide the extraction process to reduce the number of incoherent topics extracted. Dirichlet Forest priors based LDA (DF-LDA) was introduced as a knowledge-based topic model, to which knowledge rules are provided in the form of must-link and cannot-link [16]. It changed the perspective towards topic extraction as the accuracy was dependent on the quality of knowledge. The knowledge rules guided the model to put terms under the same or different topics based on the intuition. A must-link increases the probability of word pairs to coexist under the same topic while a cannot-link works opposite to it. DF-LDA, being transitive, could not handle multiple senses of a word, which was not addressed in their later model [17] as well. The knowledge rules are assumed to be accurate, with no refinement mechanism, and are applied with equal priority. The rules were relaxed to insets in [18], having topic labels for words and thus avoiding one-to-one relationships for word coexistence. These semisupervised knowledge-based topic models are manually provided with domain specific knowledge and cannot scale up to big data. The knowledge provided is assumed to be accurate, having no mechanism for verifying and rectifying knowledge, if provided by mediocre domain experts. Lifelong machine learning is used for various tasks in the works of [26–29]; however, none of them has used LML for topic modeling. Automatic knowledge-based models are introduced to incorporate a knowledge module with topic models to have more semantically corelated topics. The automatic LML models learn and apply knowledge automatically without external support and can be directly applied to big data. Overlap among different domains is exploited for learning and transferring knowledge. AKL [22] was the first attempt to introduce lifelong machine learning with topic modeling. The model processes all the domains in the dataset with baseline LDA to extract initial topics. The extracted topics are clustered to learn and utilize knowledge. Lifelong Topic Model (LTM) [30] improved the performance and accuracy of LML topic mining by using Frequent Itemset Mining (FIM) for knowledge extraction and Generalized Polya Urn (GPU) model for transferring it to future task. Manual support was provided to set threshold for Frequent Itemset Mining (FIM); however, it could not address the problem of mining local knowledge. A large threshold value means mining only global knowledge while a low value that focuses on local knowledge brings many irrelevant knowledge rules as well. They both used positively corelated words only as knowledge, that is, must-links. In [20] automatic must-links cannot-links (AMC) model is proposed to address the problems of earlier automatic LML models. Unlike other LML models it used both must-link and cannot-link knowledge types. The knowledge rules are extracted with FIM with multiple support (MS-FIM) to consider both global and local knowledge while avoiding irrelevant knowledge rules. Since the cannot-links are believed to be very high due to the large size of vocabulary the model only extracts cannot-links for the current domain. In order to ensure their quality, the must-links and cannot-links are verified from topics of all domains. For transferring the learnt knowledge into the inference technique Multigeneralized Polya Urn (M-GPU) model is used. For a word drawn from a topic, if there are relevant must-links all the paired words get a pushup in the topic whereas a penalty is applied to the paired words in cannot-links. M-GPU provides the bias supported by knowledge in order to help distributions with topics having semantically corelated words. The transitivity problem is addressed with a graph connecting knowledge rules that share a common word which is used in the same sense. The existing state-of-the-art LML models follow batch processing approach. They expect all the domains to be available prior to analysis. The big data is processed with baseline LDA to extract topics in first parse. In the second parse each domain is processed again with knowledge. Topics from all domains are loaded for each task to learn relevant knowledge that is verified from many domains. It makes these models highly dependent on data, as they require topics from all domains to be available at all times. All the knowledge rules extracted are treated equally, whereas some knowledge rules have high confidence while others marginally cross threshold. There is no mechanism to prioritize knowledge rules. These models lack a knowledge maintenance module and have to load topics from all domains for each task and thus consume more resources. 4. Proposed Model (OAMC) An online LML model (OAMC) is proposed to address the issues discussed. It is more closely related to the essence of big data analysis by expecting data to arrive continuously in chunks. It is less dependent on data, therefore consuming limited storage and processing resources. Efficiency of the model is associated with the knowledge-base instead of topics from all domains. With a newly introduced knowledge maintenance and retention module, the harvested knowledge rules are stored in an abstract form. The knowledge-base is maintained after each task to keep it consistent. New knowledge rules are mined while existing rules are updated or even filtered as a continuous process. Additional features of knowledge are introduced to help maintain and prioritize them. The working of the model is shown in Figure 1. With the online sources producing textual content continuously, the proposed model can keep up with processing needs of the data in hand. This makes it more practical for developing real-world monitoring and analysis applications. The OAMC model can operate both with and without knowledge. In case there is no relevant knowledge available, the model operates as baseline LDA. However, as the model matures, its knowledge-base grows to support a variety of future tasks. With relevant knowledge, the model shows improved performance by grouping semantically related words under topics with the help of knowledge learnt from previous tasks. The working of OAMC model is shown in Algorithm 1. The set of documents in current domain are . is the vocabulary of the current task while is the number of iterations for Gibbs sampler [13] used as inference technique. Knowledge-base has the knowledge rules as must-links and cannot-links. The knowledge-base has a variety of must-links and cannot-links learnt through experience. In step () only those must-links and cannot-links are selected that are relevant to the current task; that is, both the words in must-link and cannot-link exist in the vocabulary of the current domain. The rules relevant to the current domain are stored as relRules. If no relevant rules are found, the current task is processed with baseline LDA as shown in step (). In step () means that no relevant knowledge is found for the current task and therefore the baseline LDA model is to be used for the current task. It may happen at low experience when the knowledge-base has limited rules and the current task is about a completely different subject. When relevant rules are found, step () has Gibbs sampler [20] used for incorporating knowledge to guide the inference. The knowledge-base maintains itself after each task to be consistent. Step () refines relRules to grow their confidence and utility as a token of their services for the current domain. All rules in the knowledge-base get a task older. As part of the continuous learning process, the model harvests new knowledge rules after processing each task, in step (). The new rules are merged with the existing rules and are added to the knowledge-base, which is ready to process a new task. 4.1. Knowledge Representation Additional features are added to knowledge rules to help maintain the knowledge-base and keep it consistent by continuously weeding out wrong or irrelevant knowledge. In previous models the knowledge rules are maintained as separate lists of must-links and cannot-links, each with a word pair and a confidence value. Our OAMC model stores them together as knowledge rules irrespective of their orientation. However, the orientation is communicated through a positive or negative sign used with the confidence value. New rule features are added as utility, freshness, and background to strictly monitor the contribution of each rule. To survive longer, a knowledge rule needs to maintain high utility in the tasks that follows. The confidence of a rule is also expected to be assured by future domains which adds to the net confidence. The utility and freshness of a rule maintain a check on its contribution and relevance. A rule with high confidence but low usage and freshness is also expected to be filtered. These newly added features keep the knowledge-base consistent with quality knowledge. The background feature helps to resolve word sense disambiguation by providing the context of the knowledge rule. A knowledge rule in the knowledge-base is stored as shown in Figure 2. 4.2. Knowledge Extraction The proposed model has access to only limited big data for a task, that is, domain of the current task. Therefore, the model does not have enough instances to verify the quality of knowledge and is expected to learn low quality knowledge as well. A knowledge rule can be of low quality if it has enough support in data from where it was learnt but is not supported by future tasks. It may happen due to noise or high bias in a domain. The refinement technique deals with it until it is removed. In order to extract new knowledge rules normalized PMI [23] as is used as given in where gives a value range. All candidate word pairs are evaluated through . For a word pair if the score is close to 1, the knowledge rule (must-link) is stored with its score as confidence. Word pair having it close to −1 is stored as a negative rule (cannot-link) with score as confidence. PMI in (1) can be evaluated as where is the coexistence probability of and , while and are probabilities of their existence in the current domain. Coexistence is the presence of two words in a conceptual document irrespective of their frequency. Calculating coexistence probability and individual probabilities is shown in (3), where show all documents while is total number of documents,Freshness and utility are initialized while topic of the word pair is added to the background of the rule. The two thresholds and used are set to harvest word pairs with scores at either of the two extremes, given in When gives a value that is too high, that is, close to 1, or too low, that is, close to −1, then it is considered to be of significance. This untypical behavior is learnt as knowledge while the values close to zero are ignored as they have not shown any considerable corelation. Word pairs having below are learnt as knowledge (cannot-links) while the values above are also learnt (must-links). The threshold values are mentioned in Setup. Our contribution in knowledge extraction is to use as a very lightweight extraction mechanism. Secondly both must-links and cannot-links are extracted together in a single step. MS-FIM was previously used to harvest knowledge which was causing a performance bottleneck. The rule mining mechanism is mentioned in Algorithm 2. It generates word pairs within each topic and evaluates them for possible knowledge from step () to step (). Satisfying either of the thresholds in step () and step (), the word pair is mined as positive or negative knowledge rule. 4.3. Knowledge Transfer The knowledge transfer mechanism selects relevant knowledge rules each time a word is sampled to have its probability increased under a topic. The effect of relevant knowledge rules is added as bias into the topic model to push up positively corelated words under the same topic and vice versa. Since the current task has limited data, knowledge from previous tasks is incorporated to guide the inference. For a sampled word in topic , if a rule exists for it then the associated word has probability updated in current topic as shown in where and are the two words of a rule (must-link or cannot-link). When the model inference increases the probability of a word for a topic , the probability of is increased for topic in case of must-link and decreased for cannot-link. To address word sense disambiguation the following equation is proposed:Here is the threshold that has to be satisfied for overlap between the vocabulary of the current task and the rule background. The rule background represents the set of words in topic from which the rule was learnt. Comparing the rule background with the current vocabulary is to ensure that the rule is used in the same context in which it was mined. For example, the word Bank has different contexts when used with Accounts and Sea, respectively. Topics of all processed tasks were previously used for the same purpose. The net confidence and utility of a knowledge rule are used to transfer the impact of knowledge rule in topic sampling. Multigeneralized Polya Urn (M-GPU) model [20] is used to transfer the effect of knowledge into the current status of Markov chain in Gibbs sampler in Equation (7) shows the amount of update in the probability by a factor for the other word in knowledge rule. When the probability of a sampled word is increased for a topic, using the rules, the probability of all the words associated with the sampled word is also increased. The following equation is updated to incorporate both positive and negatively corelated rules in a single step asFor word sampled , the other word sharing the same rule with it gets a push as strong as the net confidence in the direction of its orientation. The objective is to increase the probability of positively corelated words to appear together as top words under the same topic and vice versa. 4.4. Knowledge Maintenance and Retention Supported with a knowledge maintenance and retention module, useful knowledge rules are stored until they justify their existence. The knowledge-base is refined after each task to keep it consistent. They all get older by a task. The relevant knowledge rules grow in confidence supported by current domain and have higher utility. After updating the state of each knowledge rule, they are passed through a threshold again to justify their existence as proposed in where is net confidence, is utility, and 1/ is freshness for a knowledge rule. If the confidence of a knowledge rule in current task is above its net confidence , the current domain is allowed to update the knowledge background to better represent its context, as proposed in where background is updated by adding words from supporting topic in the current task. New rules are mined while existing rules are evolved as a continuous process. The newly added knowledge features are used to rank and prioritize knowledge rules. The difference in rank of good and bad knowledge rules widens as the model matures with experience. Algorithm 3 is used to refine existing knowledge, with step () having relevant knowledge as . In steps () to () all relevant rules get their net confidence updated and utility incremented. Step () has all rules aged by a task. Some of the popular rules from knowledge-base of OAMC model are shown in Table 1. 5. Experimental Results The proposed model (OAMC) contributes to the application of lifelong learning for NLP tasks, specifically used to improve topic coherence for big streaming data. Various experiments are performed to highlight the improvement in accuracy and performance of lifelong topic mining as product aspects. Unlike traditional ML models it operates on big data with a variety of domains. The standard dataset used by previous LML models is used to evaluate the proposed model in comparison to the other state-of-the-art models. The data consists of 50 domains each of electronic products. To highlight the improvement in the OAMC model the dataset was provided with decreasing number of domains. The models are evaluated in topic coherence for accuracy and time in minutes for performance. The number of knowledge rules is used as quality of knowledge where fewer rules producing better results are considered to be of better quality. 5.1. Setup To set up the test environment an HP Pavilion DM4 machine is used with Intel 2.4 GHz Core i5, having 8 GB RAM and 500 GB hard drive. Following the evaluation approach in existing models, 15 topics are extracted per domain for all models, while, as in previous models, top 30 words per topic are considered to calculate topic coherence of the proposed model also. The hyperparameters are kept the same for all models. The number of Gibbs sampler iterations is kept the same (2000) as used in previous models. The models are configured and initialized as used in their original work. The proposed OAMC has its thresholds and set to 0.8 and −0.9, respectively, to learn knowledge and select relevant knowledge for a given task. Since negative corelations are too many as compared to positive rules, the threshold is set to focus more on positive rules. In order to choose relevant rule the overlap threshold is set to 0.3 between the vocabulary and knowledge background. 5.2. Results The accuracy of lifelong models and topic models in general is evaluated through topic coherence. It has high corelation with human evaluation. All of the models are given the same number of documents in a domain for both learning and evaluation. The existing models drop accuracy when it has to learn from a smaller dataset with documents in hundreds per domain while compromising accuracy when evaluated on larger dataset with thousands of documents. Therefore, the previous models were given large datasets to learn from and were evaluated on smaller datasets. However, for fairness to all models, they are provided with the test set only to learn from and to test on. Topic coherence of the models compared has interesting outcome. LTM surprisingly could not maintain a better topic coherence when it had to learn from a smaller dataset. It even dropped below the baseline. AMC and AMC-M performed well; however, the proposed OAMC beat them when a number of domains in the dataset were dropped below 10 as shown in Figure 3. AMC and AMC-M hardly learn anything with fewer domains which makes them ineffective towards streaming data. Therefore, their accuracy continuously went down towards baseline. On the other hand LTM has its learning pattern badly affected by limited variety of domains and learnt wrong knowledge which dropped its accuracy. The knowledge rules learnt by AMC and AMC-M were 100 and below per domain for less than 10 domains in the dataset which grow up to more than 2000 for 50 domains. It is because of the overreliance of the existing models on large volumes of data to be available at once, which makes them least effective towards streaming data. It shows that they only learn better knowledge and produce better results when there are many domains in the dataset and they are all available prior to analysis. With a robust knowledge storing mechanism OAMC learnt more knowledge, refined it, and used it to improve topic coherence with few domains available. The OAMC model shows on average 7% with a maximum of 10% improvement in topic coherence when there is one domain at a time. OAMC learns wrong knowledge too as it considers only the current domain for harvesting it. However, with a robust knowledge retention module, after performing few tasks only good quality knowledge survives through the filtering mechanism. Knowledge rules with less confidence from future tasks or limited utility are pushed down and finally filtered out. Knowledge that is getting confidence reenforced from future tasks and has growing utility stays longer. To evaluate relevance of a knowledge rule with the current task, the domain of the current task must have the rule words, confidence above threshold, and overlap with the rule background higher than threshold. The online OAMC models truly learn like humans having no idea of future tasks, unlike existing models. Its learning is dependent on the past experience as the domains processed only and uses it for a future task. It is less dependent on data, parses it once, and considers the knowledge module with abstract rules only to sample relevant rules and therefore shows improvement of up to 50% in performance as shown in Figure 4. For the discussed intrinsic evaluation, the models are also compared through PMI mean and median values that had relevance with topic coherence values. The extrinsic WordNet based techniques used in the literature (WuPalmer, Resnik, Path, Lin, LeacockChodorow, Lesk, JiangConrath, and HirstStOnge) were inconclusive to differentiate among the qualities of topics extracted due to the specialized nature of electronic products domains. 5.3. Evaluation OAMC improving performance of AMC by 50% as shown in Figure 4 is attributed to the following reasons. OAMC does not extract relevant knowledge for each task and rather chooses from a well maintained knowledge module. Each domain is parsed only once. With a knowledge filtering mechanism only good quality knowledge rules are maintained. There are generally two performance bottlenecks in existing LML models, that is, FIM for knowledge extraction and higher iterations of Gibbs sampling. The OAMC model uses nPMI [23] which is highly efficient to extract knowledge. Secondly it learns both must-links and cannot-links together with a single mechanism as rules. Even with 50 domains in the dataset OAMC performed better than AMC for certain individual domains by producing higher topic coherence while using fewer knowledge rules as shown in Figure 5. Table 1 shows some of the most frequently used knowledge rules of OAMC. Through manual evaluation of topics from all the domains, it was observed that the knowledge learnt by LML models is more effective towards random and intruded types of topic incoherence but less effective towards chained and unbalanced type of incoherence. In fact the knowledge-based models can at times enhance chained topic incoherence if there are many knowledge rule pairs sharing common words. 5.4. Knowledge Analysis The accuracy of LML models depends upon the quality of its knowledge. The previous models did not provide a discussion on the quality of knowledge. In fact improved topic coherence was considered as reason for good quality knowledge. The knowledge rules shown in Table 1 have utility above 10 as a token of their quality. The ratio of use of knowledge rules per domain by AMC and OAMC is 5 : 1, signifying the quality of knowledge produced by OAMC. Net confidence of rules also shows that most of the relevant domains enforced the rule and increased its confidence (above 0.8 with 1 as maximum). Since this information is not available for the existing models, the values cannot be matched. It is still very difficult to explore the impact of each knowledge rule separately; however, the discussed features in general keep track of good quality knowledge. The knowledge learnt is of two types only capturing positive and negative word corelations. However, more varieties of knowledge can be introduced for further insights. By introducing “the type of relationship” as knowledge, the unbalanced topic incoherence problem can be addressed. Along with correlation between words, the nature of their correlation may also be explored for better analysis. This type of knowledge is also useful for finding hierarchical topics. The knowledge rules extracted are isolated, while knowledge as complex network can be more effective for a variety of analyses. AMC uses a small graph only to associate must-links sharing common word in the same context. Knowledge extraction, transfer, representation, and retention are only introduced to NLP tasks in 2010 and require mature ideas from other fields of research. 6. Conclusion LML models are structured to process big data having many domains and therefore it is the only suitable solution, despite its shortcomings. LML models are recently introduced to big data topic extraction and are far from mature. The existing LML topic models had limited application due to following batch processing approach and overreliance on data. Our proposed model named as OAMC follows online approach for LML topic modeling that can support streaming data. With an efficient learning mechanism our OAMC model has lower dependency on data and therefore improved performance by 50% as compared to state-of-the-art LML models. Velocity is an important feature of big data as it is believed to be received continuously at high speed. The OAMC model is designed to process the data in hand only and therefore outperforms existing models for streaming data. As the data is expected to have noise, OAMC is supported with a strict monitoring and filtering mechanism to maintain a consistent knowledge-base. The rules are made to compete for survival based on utility, freshness, and net confidence. OAMC being blind to the future gets higher bumps in accuracy when current task has low relevance to past experience. This is very common to a human-like learning approach. However, the tendency of such tasks for which limited relevant knowledge available drops with experience considerably. OAMC model shows 7% improvement in accuracy on average for streaming big data but up to 10% for certain individual domains as compared to state of the art. In the future we will be working on introducing more varieties of knowledge. Through complex network analysis the knowledge rules can be stored in association with each other. Cooccurrence can mean many things and, therefore, the relationship type should also be considered in future. It will help to associate aspects with products, sentiments to aspects, and reasons to sentiments. To improve the performance and attempt for near real-time analysis, Gibbs sampling should be replaced with a lighter inference technique.

German businesses reluctant to invest in UK over Brexit uncertainty German business leaders have issued a strongly worded statement warning they are reluctant to invest in Britain because of Brexit uncertainty. The intervention from German Industry UK (GIUK), which represents firms including carmakers BMW and Mercedes-Benz as well as the Lufthansa airline, came as the UK’s largest carmaker, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), said a bad Brexit deal would put £80bn of investment and 40,000 jobs at risk. Amid mounting anxiety from some of the UK’s largest manufacturers, politicians from both sides of the House of Commons lined up to criticise the government’s attitude towards business concerns during Brexit negotiations. The Liberal Democrat leader, Vince Cable, accused the government of treating major employers with “complete contempt” by failing to listen to their concerns. Cable said he knew JLR boss Ralf Speth from his tenure as business secretary and that the German boss of the carmaker was “not bluffing” when he said on Wednesday that the firm’s place in the UK would be untenable in the event of a hard Brexit. The shadow business secretary, Rebecca Long-Bailey, warned that Tory infighting over the nature of the UK’s departure from the European Union was putting jobs and investment at risk. “They cannot continue to spar with each other and play ideological games whilst British jobs and industries are being pushed off the edge of a cliff,” she said. The cabinet is due to meet at Chequers on Friday in an effort to thrash out disagreements among ministers about the right Brexit plan to pursue. Just 24 hours before the summit, representatives of German firms employing 400,000 people in the UK joined JLR in issuing a dire warning about the impact of ongoing uncertainty. GIUK, whose members also include the train and bus operator Arriva – owned by the Germany’s state-owned rail company – and the steel producer ThyssenKrupp, said it needed “certainty and clarity about the way forward sooner rather than later”. Bernd Atenstaedt, the chairman and chief executive of GIUK, said: “There is some reluctance from German business to invest in the UK with projects on hold because of the uncertainty about the future and, with only nine months left before the UK leaves the EU, time is running out.” GIUK said German business would like continued free access without tariff and non-tariff barriers – such as customs checks – for exports to the UK, plus continued free access to the EU for exports from the UK, which is one of Germany’s most important export markets. Atenstaedt told the Guardian that many GIUK members would not go as far as aerospace company Airbus, which has threatened to cut back their operations in the UK in the event of a hard Brexit. JLR, the UK’s largest automotive business, this week became the latest manufacturing powerhouse to say it could be forced to withdraw investment from Britain in the event of a hard Brexit. The warning sparked renewed criticism of the government’s attitude to industry, just days after the foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, was reported to have said “fuck business” when asked about employers’ Brexit concerns. Cable said: “I got to know Ralf Speth well enough to know that he’s not bluffing when he says JLR’s position is that a hard Brexit would make the company’s position in the UK untenable. “The Conservatives should listen. But there’s no evidence that they are willing to treat major employers with anything other than complete contempt.” A spokesperson for the prime minister said the government took the views of the business community seriously. The spokesperson added: “We also know the importance of providing certainty as we leave the EU. We’re looking forward to providing further details in the white paper. But I would also make the point that we have already successfully negotiated an implementation period, so firms will be able to trade on the same terms as now until the end of 2020.” Conservative MP Owen Paterson attracted criticism after brushing off JLR’s concerns in an appearance on the Radio 4 Today programme, claiming the company would be in a “wonderful position” and could buy car parts more cheaply. Labour MP Alison McGovern, whose Wirral South constituency includes Vauxhall’s Ellesmere Port plant, said Paterson did not understand the automotive industry, particularly its use of “just-in-time” supply chains that require precision timing. .” A senior figure at one manufacturing trade body with strong ties to the automotive sector said: “I don’t think we’d dignify Owen Paterson’s remarks with a response because they’re not worth anything.” Maria Eagle, whose Garston and Halewood constituency includes JLR’s Halewood plant, said the company was rightly concerned about the “appalling effects of the extreme Tory hard Brexit supported by half the cabinet and a hard-line cabal of Brexit extremists”. She said: “It’s about time this appalling government put the interests of the people of this country above their own manoeuvring to stay in office. Otherwise, our manufacturing industry faces total destruction.” The EEF manufacturers’ trade body said: , a survey by Scottish Engineering has found that just 1% of its members were positive about Brexit. Its chief executive, Paul Sheerin, said the organisation was worried about “a deeply concerning stance to business coming from parts of the UK government”. Admiring the commitment. This is the correct weblog for anyone who wants to seek out out about this topic. You understand so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I truly would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!

Boxycharm “Summertime Radness” – July 2015 “Summertime Radness.” It’s kind of a generic theme… This July we’re bringing the heat to you! So, keep it cool, grab your bathing suit and let’s lounge by the pool because we got that summertime radness! MDMflow Greater Than Mascara – I’m happy to try out a new mascara, but $35 retail is ridiculous! It had better be magical to get me to purchase it! This is full sized and retails for $35. Boxycharm did send out an email that I can’t seem to find responding to some complaints about this product. Apparently you have to prime the tube. Check out their instructions for that here. The most intense, highly pigmented XXL black, volumizing mascara with an easy off formulation. This mascara is being introduced in the U.S. through BOXYCHARM and will be available for purchase for $35.00 USD at the end of July. How-To: Place wand at the base of your lashes and using a back and forth motion move the wand up your lashes and sweet upward for a curled effect. Vasanti Professional Blush Brush – As always I love getting brushes in subscription boxes! This is much smaller than my other blush brushes and is nice and soft! I’ve gotten some Vasanti skincare products in boxes before but had no idea they did brushes also. This is retails for $29. Made with high-quality nylong fibres, Vasanti’s Blush Brush softly and smoothly blends any blush powder onto the skin. How-To: Use to apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend outward for a natural look. yourMinerals Transparent Veil Setting Powder – I wish I could say I’d get some use out of this, but the first ingredient is sericite which is mica which is known to cause flashback in photos which I have serious issues with. This is apparently the medium size which retails for $26. A soft transparent setting powder with an ultralight silk texture that settles into a smooth, matte surface while minimizing fine lines and pores. How-To: Apply over your foundation to reduce shine and to set your makeup for an all day performance. gorge I’ll make you look amazing daily spray – Always down to try new leave in conditioning treatments. The bottle claims that it, “repairs damaged hair, instantly adds shine, detangles like no other, protects from heat, seals & protects hair color, prevents split ends, stops hair breakage, creates amazing silkiness, enhances natural body, helps with flat irons.” Sounds like a miracle in a bottle! I haven’t tried it yet but I did open it to take a sniff. I expected it to be liquidy but it’s more of a gel-like consistency and the bottle is only half full which is disappointing. It smells slightly citrusy and aquatic. This is full size and retails for $29.95. A magical leave in conditioning spray that instantly restores your hair to bring out it’s natural luster. Leaves hair smooth, frizz-free, shiny, stronger, and healthier with every use. How-To: Spritz liberally onto damp hair and work it in thoroughly with your fingertips. Style as usual. OFRA Cosmetics Universal Eyebrow Pencil – There’s no such thing as universal when it comes to brows. This is a brown shade that I’ll get absolutely no use out of so I might swap it or gift it to my sister. This is rull size and retails for $13. Water resistant eyebrow pencil suited for all skin tones and perfect for creating the perfect eyebrow shape. Made with a synthetic beeswax base for a smooth, soft and long lasting application. How-To: Apply directly to the eyebrow area then smudge gently with a small brush applicator. The theme for this month’s box wasn’t much of a theme but the box itself was pretty cool! I’ll get use out of most of the products and it’s got a monetary value of $132.95 which is the highest value box I’ve received to date! I decided to skip August’s Boxycharm which was probably a good thing as reviews point to a bunch of products I wouldn’t have gotten a ton of use out of. I’m interested to see what September brings!

The QTextList class provides a decorated list of items in a QTextDocument. More... #include <QTextList> Inherits QTextBlockGroup. Note: All the functions in this class are reentrant. The QTextList class provides a decorated list of items in a QTextDocument. A list contains a sequence of text blocks, each of which is marked with a bullet point or other symbol. Multiple levels of lists can be used, and the automatic numbering feature provides support for ordered numeric and alphabetical lists. Lists are created by using a text cursor to insert an empty list at the current position or by moving existing text into a new list. The QTextCursor::insertList() function inserts an empty block into the document at the cursor position, and makes it the first item in a list. QTextListFormat listFormat; if (list) { listFormat = list->format(); listFormat.setIndent(listFormat.indent() + 1); } listFormat.setStyle(QTextListFormat::ListDisc); cursor.insertList(listFormat); The QTextCursor::createList() function takes the contents of the cursor's current block and turns it into the first item of a new list. The cursor's current list is found with QTextCursor::currentList(). The number of items in a list is given by count(). Each item can be obtained by its index in the list with the item() function. Similarly, the index of a given item can be found with itemNumber(). The text of each item can be found with the itemText() function. Note that the items in the list may not be adjacent elements in the document. For example, the top-level items in a multi-level list will be separated by the items in lower levels of the list. List items can be deleted by index with the removeItem() function. remove() deletes the specified item in the list. The list's format is set with setFormat() and read with format().

Sycamores Genus PLATANUS, Linn. Large, ornamental, deciduous trees with smooth limbs from which whitish bark peels in irregular flakes. Leaves simple, alternate, palmately lobed. Flowers monoecious in pendant heads. Fruits swinging, many-seeded balls, hanging all winter. There are six species of the genus Platanus found in the Northern Hemisphere, and equally divided between the Old and New Worlds. The geologist finds evidences of much wider distribution for our sycamore than it now enjoys. The Arctic regions from Greenland west bore forests of these trees, and so did central Europe before the Glacial Epoch. The plane tree of Europe extends east to India. The trees are all characterised by brittle, smooth bark of light colour, except on old trunks. The flaking off of this bark in irregular plates, leaving the white under layer exposed, enables the most casual observer to recognise the trees of this family by sight. The broad leaves, lobed like a maple's, and the hanging seed balls are striking characteristics. Arizona Sycamore Tree Buttonwood Sycamore Tree California Sycamore Tree Oriental Plane Sycamore Tree

Should Poor Organizational Skills be Accommodated in an IEP? by Pam Wright Question: What can be included in the IEP accommodations? Can we stipulate in my daughter’s IEP that she will not be required to keep an assignment notebook, but will have the assignments posted on the web or emailed each day? Would the school legally be required to adhere to it? Answer: Providing a daily assignment list is a reasonable accommodation. Some children have good organizational skills when they enter school. Some learn modest organizational skills along the way to adulthood. Others will always need some coaching..

CHAPTER 24 Verse 1. And after five days. This time was occupied, doubtless, in their receiving the command to go to Caesarea, and in making the necessary arrangements. This was the twelfth day after his arrival at Jerusalem. See Acts 24:11. Ananias the High Priest. See Barnes "Acts 23:2". Descended. Came down from Jerusalem. This was the usual language when a departure from Jerusalem was spoken of. See Barnes "Acts 15:1". With a certain orator named Tertullus. Appointed to accuse Paul. This is a Roman name, and this man was doubtless a Roman. As the Jews were, to a great extent, ignorant of the Roman customs and laws, and of their mode of administering justice, it is not improbable that they were in the habit of employing Roman lawyers to plead their causes. Who informed the governor against Paul. Who acted as the accuser, or who managed their cause before the governor. {i} "Ananias" Acts 23:2; 25:2 {k} "who informed" Psalms 11:2 Verse 2. And when he was called forth. When Paul was called forth from prison. See Acts 23:35. We enjoy great quietness. This was said in the customary style of flatterers and orators, to conciliate his favour, and is strikingly in contrast with the more honest and straightforward introduction in the reply of Paul, Acts "Acts 21:38"; and he had repressed a sedition which arose between the inhabitants of Caesarea and of Syria. Jos. Jewish Wars, b. ii. chap. xiii.. {l} "worthy deeds" Psalms 12:2 {++} "providence" "prudence" Verse, and avaricious, and cruel. Josephus charges him with injustice and cruelty in the case of Jonathan, the high priest, (Ant. b. xx. chap. viii. 5 ;) and Tacitus, (Hist. b. v. ch. 9,) and Suetonius, (Life of Claudius, ch. 28,) concur in the charge. Verse 4. Be not further tedious unto thee. By taking up your time with an introduction, and with commendation. {&} "tedious" "troublesome" {|} "clemency" "goodness" Verse 5. We have found this man a pestilent fellow. \. \~prwtostathn\~. This word occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. It is properly a military word, and denotes one who stands first in an army, a standard-bearer, a leader, or commander. The meaning is, that Paul had been so active, and so prominent in preaching the gospel, that he had been a leader, or the principal person, in extending the sect of the Nazarenes. Of the sect. The original word here \~airesewv\~ is the word from which we have derived the term heresy. It is, however, properly translated sect, or party, and should have been so translated in Acts 24:14. See Barnes "Acts 5:17". Of the Nazarenes. This was the name usually given to Christians by way of contempt. They were so called because Jesus was of Nazareth. {a} "fellow" Luke 23:2; Acts 6:13; 16:20; 17:6; 21:28; 1 Peter 2:18,19 {*} "sedition" "insurrection" Verse 6. Who also hath gone about. Who has endeavoured. To profane the temple. This was a serious, but unfounded charge. It arose from the gross calumny of the apostle, when they pretended that he had introduced Greeks into that sacred place, Acts 21:28. To this charge the apostle replies in Acts 24:18. And would have judged. That is, would have condemned and punished. According to our law. Their law, which forbade the introduction of strangers into the temple. {+} "about" "attempted" {b} "profane" Acts 19:37; 21:28 {++} "took" "seized" {c} "according" John 18:31 Verse 7. But the chief captain, etc. Tertullus pretends that they would have judged Paul righteously, if Lysias had not interposed; but the truth was, that, without regard to law or justice, they would have murdered him on the spot. {d} "chief captain" Acts 21:33 {&} "chief captain" "commander" Verse 8. Commanding his accusers, Acts 23:30. By examining of whom. That is, the Jews who were then present. Tertullus presented them as his witnesses of the truth of what he had said. It is evident that we have here only the summary or outline of the speech which Tertullus made. It is incredible that a Roman rhetorician would have, on such an occasion, delivered an address so brief, so meager,. {e} "accusers" Acts 23:30 {|} "take knowledge" "Gain" Verse. Verse 10. Had beckoned unto him to speak. Either by a nod or by the hand. Hast been of many years. Felix and Cumanus had been joint-governors of Judea; but after Cumanus had been condemned for his bad administration of the affairs, the government fell entirely into the hands of Felix. This was about seven years before Paul was arraigned before him, and with might be called many years, as he had been long enough there to become acquainted the customs and habits of the Jews; and it might also be called long in comparison with the short time which any of his immediate predecessors had held the office. See Josephus, Ant. b. xx. ch. vi., vii. on the affairs of Judea, that he was well qualified to understand the merits of the case, and to judge impartially. Paul was well acquainted with his character, See Barnes "Acts 24:25" and would not by flattering words declare that which was not strictly true. I do the more cheerfully, etc. Since you are so well acquainted with the customs and habits of the Jews, I the more readily submit the case to your disposal. This address indicated great confidence in the justice of his cause; and was the language of a man bold, fearless, and conscious of his innocence. {1} "governor" "Felix, made Procurator over Judea, A.D. 53" {f} "answer" 1 Peter 3:15 {+} "myself" "make my defence" Verse had been but twelve days in Jerusalem, and had been orderly and peaceable there, Felix could ascertain only by the proper testimony. The first part of Paul's defence,26. On the ninth day the tumult arose, being the seventh day of his vow, and on this day he was rescued by Lysias, Acts 21:27; 22:29. The tenth day he was before the sanhedrim, Acts 22:30; defence of Paul here is, that but twelve days occurred from the time that he went to Jerusalem, till he was put under the custody of Felix; and that during so short a time it was wholly improbable that he would have been able to excite sedition. For to worship. This farther Acts 20:16. It should be observed, however, that our translation conveys an idea which is not necessarily in the Greek--that this was the design of his going to Jerusalem. The original is, "Since I went up to Jerusalem worshipping," \~proskunhswn\~ i.e., he was actually engaged in devotion when the tumult arose. But his main design m going to Jerusalem, was to convey to his suffering countrymen there the benefactions of the Gentile churches. See Acts 24:17; Romans 15:25,26. {h} "neither found me" Acts 25:8; 28:17 Verse 12. And they neither found me, etc. The first charge of Tertullus against Paul was, Acts 24:5, that he was "a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition." The charge of his being a pest. His conduct there had been entirely peaceable; and they had no right to suppose that it had been otherwise anywhere. Verse 13. Neither can they prove the things, etc.. {i} "prove the things" 1 Peter 3:16 Verse 14. But this I confess, etc. The next specification in the charge of Tertullus was, Acts, Acts 24:15; and that it was his constant and earnest desire to keep a pure conscience in all things, Acts 24:16. These are the points of his defence to,, Acts 24:5. To this, Paul replies, "After the way which they call sect, (\~airesin\~, not error of doctrine, but after a way which they maintain is producing division or schism,) so worship I the God of my fathers." Paul was not fathers' God; Jehovah; the God whom my Jewish ancestors adored. There is something very touching in this, and fitted to find its way to the heart of a Jew. He had introduced no new object of worship, (comp., etc. Particularly respecting the Messiah. So he more fully explains his meaning in his speech before king Agrippa, Acts. {*} "heresy" "A sect" {a} "worship" Micah 4:5 {b} "God of my fathers" 2 Timothy 1:3 {c} "written in the law" Luke 24:27; Acts 26:22; 28:23 {d} "in the prophets" Matthew 22:40; Luke 16:16; John 1:45; Acts 13:15; Romans 3:21 Verse 15. And have hope toward God. Having a hope of the resurrection of the dead, which arises from the promises of God. Which they themselves, etc. That is, the Pharisees. Perhaps he designated in this remark the Pharisees who were present, he held nothing in this great cardinal point, which they did not also hold. For the reasons why Paul introduced this point so prominently, and the success of thus introducing it, See Barnes "Acts 23:1", also Acts 23:2-9. Both the just and unjust. Of the righteous and the wicked; that is, of all the race. As they held this, they could not arraign him for holding it also. {e} "hope toward God" Acts 23:6; 26:6,7; 28:20 {+} "allow" "admit" {f} "resurrection of the dead" Daniel 12:2; John 5:28,29; 1 Corinthians 15:12-27 Revelation 20:6,13 {++} "unjust" "righteous and unrighteous" Verse 16. And herein. In this, or for this purpose. Do I exercise myself. \~askw\~. I accustom or employ myself; I make it my constant aim and endeavour. It is the purpose of my constant study. Paul often appeals to his conscientiousness as the leading habit of his life. Even before his conversion he endeavoured to act according to the dictates of conscience. See Acts 26:9. Comp. Philippians 3:5,6. To have always a conscience, etc. To do that which is right, so that my conscience shall approve of it, and never reproach me. Void of offence. \~aroskopon\~. That which is inoffensive, or which does not cause one to stumble or fall. lie means, that he endeavoured that which is made known to be right should be honestly and faithfully performed. Without these two things, no man can have a conscience that shall be inoffensive and harmless. Toward God. In an honest endeavour to discharge all the duties of public and private worship, and to do constantly what he requires. In believing all that he has spoken; doing all that he requires; and offering to him the service which he approves. Toward men. In endeavouring to meet all the demands of justice and mercy; to advance their knowledge, happiness, and salvation; so that I may look back on my life with the reflection that I have done all that I ought to have done, and all that I could do, to promote the welfare of the whole human family. What a noble principle of conduct was this! How devoted, and how pure! How unlike the conduct of those who live to gratify debasing sensual appetites, or for gold or honour; and who pass their lives in such a manner as to offer the grossest offence to God, and to do the most injury to man! The great and noble aim of Paul was to be pure; and no slander of his enemies, no trials, persecutions, or perils, and no pains of dying, could take away the approving voice of conscience. Alike in his travels, and in his persecutions; among friends and foes; when preaching in the synagogue,. {g} "have always" Acts 23:1 Verse 17. Now after many years. After many years' absence. Paul here commences a reply to the charges of Tertullus, that he had endeavoured to profane the temple, Acts 24:6. He begins by saying that his design in coming up to Jerusalem was to bring to them needed aid in a time of distress. It would be absurd to suppose, therefore, that his object in coming was to violate the customs of the temple, and to defile it. I came to bring. See Acts 11:29,30. See Barnes "Romans 15:25".. {h} "to bring alms" Acts 11:29,30; 20:16; Romans 15:25 Verse 18.. Verse 19. Who ought to have been here, etc. They were the proper witnesses; as they had stayed away, it showed that they were not prepared to undergo a strict examination. Paul, therefore, justly complains that the very persons who alone could testify against him were absent, and showed that there was really no well-founded charge against him. They alone could testify as to anything that occurred in the temple; and as they were not present, that charge ought to be dismissed. {i} "here before thee" Acts 25:16 {&} "object" "accuse me" {|} "ought" "anything" Verserim, Acts 23:1-10. As they were present there, Paul admits that they were competent to bear witness to his conduct on that occasion; and calls upon them to testify, if they could, to any impropriety in his conduct. {&} "evil doing" "crime" Verse 21. Except it be for this one voice. For this one expression, or decimation. del (Acts, (Acts, etc. Respecting the resurrection, Acts 23:6. {*} "one voice" "declaration" {+} "cried" "proclaimed" Verse till, (comp. Acts, (Acts 24:24,) evidently with a design to make himself better acquainted with the charges against him, and the nature of his belief. Of that way. Of the Christian religion. This expression is repeatedly used by Luke to denote the Christian doctrine. See Barnes "Acts 9:2". He deferred them. He put them off; he postponed the decision of the case; he adjourned the trial. When Lysias, etc. Lysias had been acquainted with the excitement and its causes, and Felix regarded him as an important witness in regard to the true nature of the charges against Paul. I will know the uttermost, etc. I shall be fully informed and prepared to decide the cause. {a} "Lysias" Acts 24:7 {+} "chief captain" "commander" {&} "I will know" "I will determine" Verse 23. And he commanded, etc. It is evident from this verse, that Felix was disposed to show Paul all the favours. {b} "liberty" Acts 27:3; 28:16 Verse afterwards refused to do that, the contract was broken off. Afterwards endeavour. b. xx. chap. vii. 1, 2. She was, therefore, living in adultery with him; and this was probably the reason why Paul dwelt in his discourse before Felix particularly on "temperance," or chastity. See Barnes "Acts. Verse 25. And as he reasoned. Greek, "And he discoursing." \, Acts\~., (Acts. \~egkrateiav\~.; the judgment that was to come on all transgressors. On this topic Paul also dwelt when he preached before the Areopagus at Athens, Acts \~emfobov\~, Acts should be more at leisure; when the cares of office should press less heavily on his attention; or when he shouldours the toils of the world,, till for ever the favourable account more convenient season. Greek, "Taking time." I will take a time for this. I will call for thee. To hear thee further on this subject.

The Roman governors in the provinces were commonly rapacious and avaricious, like Felix. They usually took the office for the purpose of its pecuniary advantage, and they consequently usually disregarded justice, and made the procuring of money their leading object. He sent for him the oftener. It may seem remarkable that he did not fear again being alarmed. But the hope of money overcame all this.. {c} "money" Exodus 23:8 {+} "loose him" "release" {++} "wherefore" "For which cause" {&} "communed" "conversed" Verse 27. But after two years. Paul was unjustly detained during all this time. The hope of Felix seems to have been to weary his patience, and induce him to purchase his freedom. Came into Felix' room. As governor. And Felix, willing to shew favour, and to prevent them, if possible, from accusing him for the evils of his administration before the emperor. The account which Luke gives here coincides remarkably with that which Josephus has given. He says, that Porcius Festus was sent as successor to Felix by Nero. He does not indeed mention Paul, or say that Felix sought to conciliate the favour favour,cine Pallas, who was at that time had in the greatest honour by him." Antiq. b. xx. chap. viii. & 9. The plan of Felix, therefore, in suppressing the enmity of the Jews, and conciliating their favour by injustice to Paul, did not succeed; and is one of those instances, so numerous in the world, where a man gains nothing by wickedness. He sought money from Paul by iniquity, and failed; he sought by injustice to obtain the favour of the Jews, and failed in that also. And the inference from the whole transaction is, that "honesty is the best policy," and that man in any office should pursue a course of firm, and constant, and undeviating integrity. {|} "room" "succeeded Felix" {&} "shew the Jews a pleasure" "Gratify the Jews" {&} "shew" Mark 15:15; Acts 25:9 Bibliography Information Barnes, Albert.

I may have been exposed to asbestos when a small section of plaster wall (six square feet) from a house built in the 1920`s was removed. This work was done in a bathroom, so the area is small and enclosed. There wasn`t much dust, but I cleaned a thin layer of dust off the counter and floor with a shop vacuum for 5 minutes, causing any fibers to become airborne. I then left the site and returned the next day to continue with the remodel. What is my risk factor for lung disease from this action? Please advise. Thank you. The risk of a brief (5 minute) and low level exposure is extremely low and should not pose concern for future lung health.

Trump is being sued by a First Amendment group for blocking Twitter users The Verge ^ | July 11, 2017 | Adi Robertson Posted on 7/11/2017, 5:06:23 PM by Innovative Columbia University’s Knight First Amendment Institute is suing Donald Trump for blocking people on Twitter, claiming that it violates free speech protections. The institute filed suit today.” The lawsuit, which was filed in the Southern District of New York, elaborates on the Knight Institute’s earlier letter. It contends that Trump’s Twitter account is a public political forum where citizens have a First Amendment right to speak. Under this theory, blocking users impedes their right to participate in a political conversation and stops them from viewing official government communication. Therefore, if Trump blocks people for criticizing his political viewpoints, he’d be doing the equivalent of kicking them out of a digital town hall. (Excerpt) Read more at theverge.com …

Maybe the roles cast was where we went all, you see; me, i wanted to play “the jazz singer” not the admiring back up girl, i wanted center stage not back stage but we were both competing for the leading male part and maybe i did not have it in my heart to play the girl in the back, and maybe i ended up playing the part out of a lack of ambition or imagination that i could play the guy, have the baby, and be the old jewish man all at the same time. Maybe i am just a one man show and i just look like i am not. Maybe instead of being a parent i just wanted to transcend gender which is where yoga came in, to erase all the roles we play, the price we pay for fake.

Do we have your order correct? Call us if it is not If you see CONT next to your name on the roster, it means we have not received your payment If next to your name it says E-MAIL, it means we gave you a call and have not heard from you, we would like to know your intensions-we did make you a box for this week only and if we do not hear from you we will discontinue your order for the quarter. Is your phone number correct, please let us know your correct number Check your name off of each separate list when you pick up your produce, so we know who forgot their box and can give you a call. Are you getting the newsletter via e-mail if not send us your address ([email protected]) This Week on the Farm-Welcome to fall quarter! I saw leaves swirling on the streets of Davis and I thought that it seemed early to see leaves falling, but maybe not. Just early signs that there is a shift, I know I feel a shift, I told Ali just yesterday that I am coming alive again, and she said “me too!!!” I think we all are very fried from the summer, from the year, from the push to make it through another harvest given what we were given this year; late rains, late plantings, loss of tomatoes, high population of insects thus high insect damage, the crew at various times having life crisis and needing to take time to go to Mexico. You know the list could continue, but you get the idea, after the peach party I was running on empty, could not pass go certainly did not deserve to collect $200 on the lack of work that I was doing. I had a hard time getting my flower garden watered and worried that the plants thought I had abandon them. So with the signs of leaves swirling on the streets, I continue to look for signs of change, keep my nose in the air smelling the fall moist smells, it is what keeps me going, to know there will be a shift and we can let up a bit. This last week we lost a community member Ramon Cárdena. He and his wife Lucy have sold their produce at the Davis Farmers Market since forever it seems. They would have one small card table not full of produce, but they were so full of life, love, friendship, happiness-they were a magnet, everyone had to talk to them, I know I did. While in college Claire had a senior Capstone project that she had to do to graduate and she chose to do interviews about individual freedom, and she interviewed Ramon. It captures all of who Ramon was, and as Claire and I read it this morning, we both cried, he and Lucy (who passed last year) were truly amazing people that gave so much to their community and traveled so far to get here. Freedom is everyone’s right, it is something that is built into our lives, yet every person has their own idea of freedom. Claire’s project gave people in the community the voice to tell their own story of what freedom is for them. She wanted this project to inform its readers of freedoms they may not have thought of because they have always had it. For them to think about their own freedom and remember every day how fortunate they are to have it. Because somewhere in the world there may be someone who is living without that freedom. The first story is him retelling his life story, the second is what Freedom was to him, and why. Here is Ramon’s story. “I was in Guadalajara Mexico in 1934; I was the youngest of five kids. I never knew my father, he died in an accident before I was born, and my mother followed when I was two. It was all on my brother’s shoulders to raise us, he was fifteen. I started working at age seven, chopping oak trees to make charcoal, gathering Johnson grass to feed donkeys, and picking coffee beans for 1 cent per liter; my sister and I could pick ten liters of beans in one day. I learned how to farm from a Japanese man at eleven years old who taught me how to bud fruit trees, tend a 1000 chickens, milk cows at 3am and carry the milk to town and deliver it house to house. I saw no future in what I was doing so at thirteen I became an apprentice plumber and electrician, but still the boss didn’t pay me my due wages. I saw men around me getting married, but they didn’t have anything to offer their wives, they just got married and lived in poverty. When I met Lucy at age twelve I knew she was who I wanted to marry, but I saw no future for my wife and I in Mexico. Not knowing when I was born, I had no identification and joined the Mexican Military for one year. One day after I was discharged I left for the United States. But because I never went to school, I did not know how to write in Spanish, so when I came to the U.S. I was determined to learn English. I took the correspondence course yet after one and a half years in the U.S. I still didn’t feel comfortable around people so I took night classes to learn English. I worked in the lumber yard for eleven years until it closed, and started working for a farmer. In the mid 1990’s I was in an accident, where a backhoe knocked me over; I wasn’t afraid of death, and saw myself walking towards the light, but woke up in the Sacramento Trauma center. It took me almost eight years to recuperate, and when they wanted to put me on disability I wouldn’t let them, I wanted to work, and did until another car accident, and that was the end of working for others. At that point still with medical debts I knew I had to continue bringing in money. I took inventory of my life, and asked myself when I was happiest, and that was when I sold produce at the farmers markets in Mexico. So my son and I started selling at the Davis Farmers Market. It took us almost ten years to get out of debt. I was determine to make a better life for my wife and I, to be able to send my three children to college, and what kept me going was that I always had faith and believed in miracles. Lucy said “it is a hard life, everyday there is something, but we are still here.” I dreamed of this little farm all my life, and we are here, and we are happy.” “Freedom is the Right to Live Life Your Own Way" It wasn’t until I met my wife when I was twelve that I knew I wanted to provide her with a better life than the one I could give her in Mexico. Although I would have been able to have a good job selling at the farmers market I didn’t want her to have to be around the people, they were rough and I never liked their behavior. I joined the military as was law at that time and spent a year serving on the weekends until I finally got my discharge papers in February of 1954. When I tried to get to California that same year I was captured by the border patrol three times in one week. When they captured me I was put in jail until they caught enough people to fill a bus then they would ship us back to the border. But I never gave up trying to find a better life for my future wife. After four failed attempts in one month to get to the U.S. I joined the Bracero program. I stayed at the border with a number they gave me waiting for them to call it so I was able to come to California. Finally I was contracted to pick citrus in Ventura County. The only image of the U.S. I had was from the movies I watched, and Ventura County was not what I had dreamed about. My countrymen lived in camps, they paid rent and because they could not speak English they were unable to get other jobs. I knew I was not going to be happy there with my future wife. So I prayed to the Virgin Mary that when I returned with the Bracero program the following year that she would send me to a place where no one spoke English. In 1955, on August 9th I was sent to Northern California to a small town called Rumsey, population 40. I was contracted to knock almonds for two months, but the farmer asked me to stay after to help with the pruning. I was the only Spanish speaking person left; I walked around the empty worker camps looking for something to read. I took a walk to town and found a book of matches with Uncle Sam pointing at you that said ‘learn English the easy way by correspondence’. I always believe in following the signs that come to you. It cost me $48 but I sent a letter to North Holly- wood, and that’s when I started to learn English in 1957. I knew I wanted to have a home for my wife and future family so after working for a year I asked my boss to sell me a small piece of land to build an adobe house for my future wife. He sold it to me for $1.00 and for one year I hauled gravel and rocks out of a nearby creek and built a house out of adobe. I had saved $11,000 from the previous year, knowing that I would not be able to work and build a house. In 1962 after I had been a resident in California for five years I applied for citizenship and got it, I went back to Mexico married my wife Lucy, and brought her to our new house in Rumsey. When I first came to this country, I was illegal and all I wanted was to be left alone. I wanted to be able to work a job to get money and be able to provide a good life for my future family. I never asked for a hand out, I wanted to live my dream of living with my family in a good place and working how and where I wanted. Now I am living in my freedom, I am living the dream I have had since I was a child. I am able to do whatever I want, and no matter what I will always have my garden. Based off an interview with Ramon in 2013 Shintokiwa Cucumbers This one is our favorite tasting cucumber to date-a new trial for this year from Turtle Seed. It is a smooth skinned, Japanese type long, slender cucumber very similar to an English cucumber, is so sweet, very crisp, and juicy with no bitterness. Curried Cheese and Peach Panini Cottage cheese is the secret low fat ingredient in these sandwiches. Try the recipe with sliced pears or apples as well 2 cups low fat cottage cheese drained 1 teaspoon curry powder ½ teaspoon ginger ¼ grated lime zest 1 stalk celery finely diced (3/4 cup) 1 green onion, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons 1 10oz sourdough baguette cut into 4 sandwich lengths ½ cup mango chutney optional 1 large peach, peeled and thinly sliced ½ cup sliced almonds (8 tablespoons) Stir together cottage cheese, curry powder, ginger, and lime zest in medium, bowl. Fold in celery and green onions and set aside. Split baguette lengths, leaving one side attached. Remove some of soft center of the bread to make room for the filling. Spread the 2 tablespoons chutney if using, on top and bottom of bread. Fill each sandwich with ½ cup cottage cheese mixture, 4 peach slices, and 2 tablespoons almonds. Spray Panini tops with cooking spray, coat skillet or grill pan with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Place Panini in pan; weighted with smaller-diameter saucepan weighted with 2 cans Cook 3 minutes, remove weights, flip panini, replace weight, cook 2 minutes more, or until panini are crisp and filling is hot. Watermelon Salad With Purple Basil. 1-inch thick slice cut from the center of a seedless watermelon 1 (about 1 to 1 1/2 lb./500 to 750 g) 1 cup niçoise or Kalamata olives, pitted 5 oz. feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) cubes 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh purple basil leaves 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil Juice of 1 lemon Sea salt and freshly ground pepper BEST EVER ZUCCHINI CRUST PIZZA Zucchini Crust Pizza is the perfect way to use up that zucchini! A healthier and delicious low carb option that the entire family will go crazy for. With the loads of zucchini that are coming in for the summer, I was thinking of ideas or ways to use it up. So I thought… what about zucchini crust pizza?? Zucchini crust: 2 1/2 cups zucchini squeezed dry and liquid removed 2 large eggs lightly beaten 1/4 cup flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded How do you remove the liquid from zucchini? Make sure you remove all liquid from the zucchini. Dry zucchini will help to make the crust more firm.. Zucchini crust Add zucchini, eggs, flour, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and salt to a mixing bowl. Transfer to a 12-inch pizza pan and spread evenly to make a 10-inch crust. Bake at 450 degrees for 13-16 minutes or until set and lightly brown. Toppings: 1/4 cup pizza sauce 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded 1/4 cup pepperoni 1/4 cup sliced olives 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms 1 teaspoon dried oregano fresh chopped basil for garnish. BYALYSSA RIVERS Satsuma Plum Red Chili Jam 2 cups chopped Satsuma plums (5 to 6 plums) 1/4 cup raw sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice (I use Meyer lemon juice) 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper Stir together all ingredients over medium heat in a deep heavy pot, at least 3 quarts in size. Let the jam come to a boil, stirring often. Boil for about 10 minutes, until the jam thickens. You can test that it is ready by placing a plate in the freezer for 5 minutes. Remove the plate and place a spoonful of jam on the plate. Return it to the freezer for about 1 minute. If the jam firms up to your desired consistency, it is ready to remove from the heat. Let cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a clean 1/2 pint jar. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. It should keep in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.

investigation will assuredly be among the most merciful critics of this work. To complete Mr Singer's intentions, there have been added some additional prayers and hymns, and a few extracts from the Books of the Maccabees. Thanks are due to Mrs Lucas, Mrs Salaman, and Mr I. Zangwill, and to their publishers (Messrs Macmillan and Routledge), for permission to use some of their translations. The editor has further to thank Mrs Salaman for kindly making two translations expressly for this work. Mr Singer loved the Prayer Book. Every line of his translation reveals his delight in the original. I, too, have written not as a critic but as a lover of the traditional liturgy. I have written with affection for the prayers themselves, and for him who, had he lived, would have produced so much finer a commentary.

Whether it’s a children’s bedroom, your home office, the attic, garage or basement, every home has areas that always seem to collect clutter. Tired fighting the piles of clutter in their homes, many homeowners will resolve to de-clutter and be better organized in 2013. Trouble is many homeowners will rush to the store to buy storage containers and end 2013 with the same clutter they had at the end of 2012. Follow these home organization strategies so you can clear your home of its existing clutter and keep it from coming back. A place for everything. One of the main reasons why for clutter piling up is not having a designated storage place or “home” for the item. It helps to store an item in the same room where it’s used because it’s more likely to get put away when you’re done. Storing similar items together and in a place that’s easy to access is essential, especially for frequently used items. If you need to move a toaster on a high shelf in order to put away a frequently used bowl, odds are you and your family members aren’t going to put the bowl away very often. Here come the Pile Police. It’s up to you to patrol your home and protect it. One way to prevent pile ups is by keeping things out of your home in the first place. Almost everyone likes to get freebies like T-shirts and coffee mugs handed out by vendors throughout the year and especially during the holidays. But you have to ask yourself if you’ll really use those items. If you don’t think you’ll use them, you’re better off declining them or giving them away so you don’t have to store them. If you’re an insatiable reader who already has tons of books, borrowing books from the library can help. Opting out of mailings from direct marketers and credit card companies is another way to prevent paperwork from piling up in your home. These are just a few ways that you, the pile police, can patrol your home and block those items from entering. CSI – Clutter Scene Investigation. Much like the detectives on NBC’s CSI – Crime Scene Investigation, you too must take the time to figure out why stuff accumulates in certain areas of your home. This requires what we like to call “clutter scene investigation.” For example, you might ask yourself why the dishes constantly pile up in your kitchen sink and on the counters. “Is it really too much work to load the dishwasher?” You ask your spouse, spotted at the scene of the crime, rinsing out his coffee cup and setting it in the sink. You discover that your spouse and the kids don’t like unloading the dishwasher because it means having to open a cabinet of plastic containers that rain down on them every time they open the cabinet door. Understanding the problem is half the battle and the only way to devise a solution. Take a solemn oath. If you’re really serious about organizing your home in the New Year, then promise yourself to not do any shopping for organizational systems, containers, bins or boxes until you’ve de-cluttered your home, identified the reasons why certain areas of your home are victims of clutter and come up with appropriate solutions. Organizational systems for closets, pantries, laundry rooms and your garage won’t be used to their fullest potential until you know the cause of the clutter in your home and how to prevent it in the future. One in, one out. One of the best ways to defeat clutter in your home is by throwing out duplicates. If you plan to buy a big screen TV with your Christmas bonus, it’s better to determine what you’re going to do with your old TV before you bring the new flat-screen TV home. Getting something new means getting rid of something like it that is old. In “Organizing Your Home in the New Year Part II” we’ll look at more home organization strategies for the long-haul.

E-mail : ♯ Faculdade de Ciˆ encias da Universidade de Lisboa, CMAF Avenida Professor Gama Pinto 2, 1649–003 Lisboa, Portugal E-mail : Abstract Let f be a continuous function in [0, 1] with f (0) = 0 = f (1) and f > 0 on ]0, 1[. We show that, under additional mild conditions on f , the minimal speed for travelling waves of " # p−2 ∂u ∂u ∂ ∂u + f (u), (0.1) = ∂t ∂x ∂x ∂x may be computed via a constrained minimum problem which in turn is related to the solution of a singular boundary value problem in the half line. Keywords: travelling wave; nonlinear diffusion; critical speed; constrained minimum Mathematics subject classification: 34C37, 35C07, 35K57. 1 Introduction Throughout this note, let f : [0, 1] → R be a continuous function such that f (0) = f (1) = 0 and f (u) > 0 if u ∈ (0, 1). In the theory of Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovski-Piskounov (FKPP) equations, such a function is sometimes referred to as a function of type A (see e.g. [3]). Also, let p > 1. In [4] the notions of admissible speed and critical (i. e. minimal) speed have been introduced for travelling waves to reaction-diffusion equations driven by the one-dimensional p-Laplacian operator, namely " # p−2 ∂u ∂u ∂ ∂u + f (u), (1.2) = ∂t ∂x ∂x ∂x The relevant front wave profiles u(x + ct) with speed c are given by the (monotone) solutions of the second order problem (|u′ |p−2 u′ )′ − cu′ + f (u) = 0, Let q be the conjugate of p, that is we write y+ = max(y, 0)) 1 p + 1 q u(−∞) = 0, u(+∞) = 1. = 1. The solutions of the parametric first order boundary value problem (where 1 y ′ = q(c y+ p − f (u)), 0 ≤ u ≤ 1, y(0) = 0 = y(1), y > 0 in ]0.1[ yield the trajectories of solutions of (1.3) via the relationship u′ = y(u(t))1/p . We recall the following assumptions, used in [4]. (Hp ) M = Mp := sup0 f (u) uq−1 (1.3) < +∞; (Hp′ ) µ := limu→0+ 1 f (u) uq−1 exists, 0 ≤ µ < +∞. (1.4) It follows from results in [4] that there is a 1-1 correspondence between solutions of (1.3) (up to translation) taking values in ]0, 1] and solutions of (1.4) that are strictly positive in ]0, 1[. These sets of solutions are nonempty provided (Hp ) holds. Also, basic properties of the profiles and their speeds, now classical in the FKPP theory (p = 2), were extended in [4] to the p-Laplacian model. In particular, if (Hp ) holds, the set of admissible speeds – that is, values of the parameter c such that (1.4) has a solution – is an interval [c∗ , +∞[ where 1 1 1 1 1 1 µ q p p q q ≤ c∗ ≤ M q p p q q (1.5) (the first inequality being valid if the stronger (H ′ p) holds). The minimum admissible value c∗ of the parameter c is called critical speed. Remark 1.1. An elementary calculation on the basis of (1.4) shows that, given a number a > 0, c is an admissible speed 1 with respect to f if and only if ca p is admissible with respect to af . For the case of linear diffusion (p = 2), variational caracterizations of the critical speed c∗ are known: in [1] a variational formulation is presented, based on the second order ordinary differential equation satisfied by the wave profiles; in [2] the authors use the first order model that represents the wave trajectories in a phase plane to establish another defining property of variational type for c∗ . The purpose of this note is to obtain a variational property of c∗ in the framework of (1.3). We shall use some ideas from [1]. Remark 1.2. It will be useful for our purpose to recall the role played by functions of type B. A function f : [0, 1] → R is said to be of type B if it is continuous and there exists δ ∈]0, 1[ such that f (s) = 0 if 0 ≤ s ≤ δ or s = 1, and f (s) > 0 if δ < s < 1. It is known that if f is of type B there exists exactly one admissible speed c∗ of (1.3), that is, (1.4) has a positive solution for exactly this value of the parameter c. Moreover, if fn is a nondecreasing sequence of functions of type B and limn→∞ fn (x) = f (x), then with obvious notation limn→∞ c∗ (fn ) = c∗ (f ). See [4], section 4. 2 Some equivalent boundary value problems For convenience, we start by considering a different model, with homogeneity of degree p − 1 in the derivatives. Consider the problem (u′p−1 )′ − cp−1 u′p−1 + f (u) = 0, u(−∞) = 0, u(+∞) = 1 (2.6) which, by the way, may be seen as the search for travelling waves of the form u(x + ct) for the quasilinear parabolic equation in one spacial dimension " # p−2 ∂ ∂u ∂(up−1 ) ∂u + f (u), (2.7) = ∂t ∂x ∂x ∂x Related quasilinear PDEs have been considered in the literature, for example from the point of view of subtle analytic properties of solutions: see e.g. [5]. The homogeneity appearing in the quasilinear term of (2.6 ) is used in the following way. If we perform the change of variable s = ekt with k > 0, and define v(s) = u(t), this problem is seen to be equivalent to the following boundary value problem in [0, +∞[ 1 f (v(s)) (v ′p−1 )′ + p = 0, v(0) = 0, v(+∞) = 1, v ′ > 0 (2.8) k sp provided cp−1 = k(p − 1). Another convenient interpretation of the problem (2.6) is given by the first order model that describes a phase portrait of the second order equation. Letting ϕ denote the function such that u′ = ϕ(u) we easily see that ϕ satisfies (p − 1)ϕp−2 ϕϕ′ = cp−1 ϕp−1 − f (u) so that ψ = ϕp solves 1 ψ ′ = q cp−1 ψ q − f (u) , ψ(0) = 0, ψ(1) = 0, ψ > 0 in ]0, 1[. Acording to what has been recalled in the Introduction, (2.9) has solutions provided that (Hq ) Mq := sup0 f (u) up−1 < +∞. 2 (2.9) Moreover, writing (2.9) as q q 1 ψ ′ = p cp−1 ψ q − f (u) p p (2.10) 1 we assert that the set of admissible speeds c is an interval [c∗ , +∞[ where c∗ p−1 ≤ Mqp p. If, in addition, we assume the stronger assumption (Hq′ ) ν := limu→0+ f (u) up−1 exists, 0 ≤ ν < +∞ then we also have the lower estimate 1 c∗ p−1 ≥ ν p p. (2.11) The preceeding considerations may be summarized in the following statement. Proposition 2.1. Let f be of type A and (Hq ) hold, or let f be of type B. Then the following are equivalent: • (2.6) has a monotone solution with u′ > 0 in some interval ] − ∞, b[, and u(b− ) = 1 • (2.9) has a solution which is positive in ]0, 1[ • (2.8) with k = cp−1 p−1 has a (concave) solution with v ′ > 0 in some interval ] − ∞, β[, and u(β − ) = 1. f (u) Remark 2.2. b = +∞ (and therefore also β = +∞) if q ≤ 2 and sup0 Remark 2.3. If f is of type B, (2.8) is solvable only for k = k ∗ := (c∗ )p−1 p−1 . Proposition 2.4. Suppose that ψ solves (2.9) with c > c∗ . Then p−1 p ψ(u) c lim < . u→0 up p Proof. See [4], Theorem 3.3 and page 175, in view of (2.10). 3 A constrained minimum problem The purpose of this section is to relate (2.6) with the nonlinear singular boundary value problem (v ′p−1 )′ + λ f (v(s)) = 0, sp v(0) = 0, v(+∞) = 1, v ′ > 0 where λ is a positive parameter. Let us fix some notation. We still denote by f the extension of f with zero value outside [0, 1] and set Z u f (z) dz. F (u) = 0 In addition we consider the space of functions E = {v ∈ AC([0, +∞[, R) | v ′ ∈ Lp (0, +∞) , v(0) = 0.} and the following real functionals on E J(v) = 1 p Z +∞ 0 |v ′ (s)|p ds, Γ(v) = 3 Z +∞ 0 F (v(s)) ds. sp (3.12) Remark 3.1. 1. If V is a subset of E such that J(V ) is bounded, then by H˝ older’s inequatity there exists a number C > 0 such that 1 |v(s)| ≤ Cs q ∀s ≥ 0, ∀v ∈ V. 2. The assumption (Hq ) is sufficient for Γ to be well defined and C 1 in E. In fact this follows from Hardy’s inequality: Z +∞ 0 |v ′ (s)|p ds < q p Z +∞ 0 Set θ = inf v∈E\0 |v(s)|p ds sp ∀v ∈ E \ 0. J(v) . Γ(v) (3.13) Theorem 3.2. Let f be of type B, or of type A and such that (Hq′ ) holds. We have νq p θ ≤ 1. If νq p θ < 1 then the inf in ∗ is the least admissible value of c so that (2.9)has solutions. (3.13) is attained. In any case θ1/p = cp−1 ∗ p−1 where c Proof. Step 1 νq p θ ≤ 1. Let ξ(x) = inf 0 F (z) zp . Because of (Hq′ ) limx→0 ξ(x) = νp . Let α > 1q and define Rr αp r) and Γ(vr ) > ξ(rα ) 0 sαp−p ds. It follows that J(v Γ(vr ) < pξ(r α ) . the statement. p αp−p+1 α r vr (s) = min(s , r ) for r > 0 small. Then J(vr ) = p(αp−p+1) Taking the limit as r → 0 and then the limit as α → 1q yields α α Step 2 Let un → 0 weakly in E, un bounded in L∞ (0, ∞) and Γ(un ) = 1. Then lim inf J(un ) ≥ νq1p . For each r > 0, denote by Jr and Γr the functionals obtained by replacing the integration interval with [0, r]. Since Γ − Γr is obviously weakly sequentially continuous in E, we have lim Γr (un ) = 1 for each r > 0. p Similarly to step 1, we write η(x) = sup0 0 |un (s)| s1/q J(un ) ≥ Jr (un ) ≥ q −p 1 p Z ≤ C for all n, we obtain r 0 un (s)p Γr (un ) ds ≥ p sp pq η(Cr1/q ). Applying liminf as n → ∞ and then the limit as r → 0 we conclude. Step 3 1 qp ν . Consider the functional Iλ = J − λΓ and let λ ≤ Then if vn converges weakly to v in E and vn is bounded in C[0, +∞[, we have Iλ (v) ≤ lim inf Iλ (vn ). Let us decompose Z ∞ Z ∞ Z ∞ |w(s)|p F (w(s)) |w(s)|p ds, B(w) = λ ν ds − ds . Iλ = A + B, A(w) = J(w) − λν p p p ps ps s 0 0 0 We prove our claim by showing that lim B(vn ) = B(v), A(v) ≤ lim inf A(vn ). We start with the assertion about B. By assumption, taking Remark 3.1 into account, we may fix a constant C > 0 such that Z ∞ |vn (s)|p |vn (s)| |v(s)| |vn | ≤ C, |v| ≤ C, sup 1/q ≤ C, sup 1/q ≤ C, sup ds ≤ C. sp s>0 s s>0 s n∈N 0 − νp | ≤ ε. Putting η 1/q = δ/C we have Now let ε > 0 be given. There exists δ such that x ≤ δ =⇒ | Fx(x) p Z η 0 Z η |vn (s)|p ν F (vn (s)) F (vn (s)) |vn (s)|p ν − ds ≤ Cε ds = p − |vn (s)|p psp sp sp 0 Also, we may fix T > 0 such that Z ∞ T |vn (s)|p F (vn (s)) ν − ds ≤ ε psp sp and both estimates above hold with v in the place of vn . By the compact embedding of E into C([η, T ]) we have vn |[η,T ] → v|[η,T ] uniformly. It follows that B(v) − 2(C + 1)ε ≤ lim inf B(vn ) ≤ lim sup B(vn ) ≤ B(v) + 2(C + 1)ε. 4 The claim follows by the arbitrariness of ε. Next let us consider A. Let ε > 0 be given and choose a sufficiently large T as before. For each r > 0, we write Z T ′ Z ∞ ′ |v (s)|p |v(s)|p |v(s)|p |v (s)|p − λν ds ≤ − λν ds + ε p p ps p psp r r Z ∞ ′ Z ∞ Z T ′ |vn (s)|p |vn (s)|p |vn (s)|p |vn (s)|p |vn (s)|p ds + λν +ε ds + ε ≤ lim inf − λν − λν ≤ lim inf p psp p psp psp T r r Z ∞ |vn′ (s)|p |vn (s)|p ≤ lim inf − λν ds + 2ε p psp 0 where in the last inequality we use the fact that by the choice of λ and Hardy’s inequality Z r ′ |vn (s)|p |vn (s)|p ds > 0. − λν p psp 0 Letting ε → 0 and then r → 0 the claim follows. n) Step 4 The case νq p θ < 1. Now assume νq p θ < 1. Take zn ∈ E, zn 6= 0 with J(z Γ(zn ) → θ. Since F is constant outside −1 [0, 1] we may assume that 0 ≤ zn ≤ 1. Put ρn = (Γ(zn )) , vn (s) = zn (ρn s), so that Γ(vn ) = ρn Γ(zn ) = 1, J(vn ) = ρn J(zn ) = J(zn ) → θ. Γ(zn ) Since vn is bounded in E we may assume vn ⇀ v ∈ E. Hence 0 ≤ Iθ (v) ≤ lim inf Iθ (vn ) = lim J(vn ) − θ = 0. Certainly v 6= 0, otherwise by Step 2 we obtain the contradiction 1 . νq p θ≥ We have seen that Iθ (v) = 0, that is, J(v) Γ(v) = θ. Hence Iθ attains a minimum at v and so v is a solution of (3.12) with λ = θ. (It is easy to see that v satisfies the boundary conditions.) Therefore (2.9) has a solution ψ with cp−1 = (p − 1)θ−1/p . Let k = θ−1/p . The function v is related with ψ by ln s ), where u′ (t) = ψ(u(t))1/p ∀t ∈ R. k Assume, in view of a contradiction, that c > c∗ . Then by Proposition 2.4 v(s) = u( lim u→0 Let δ > 0 be fixed so that and let η be such that Since v (s) = ′ ψ(v(s))1/p ks we obtain k ψ(u) < ( )p . up q ψ(x) k < ( )p ∀x ∈]0, δ] xp q 0 ≤ s ≤ η ⇒ v(s) ≤ δ. v(s) 0 < s ≤ η. qs Integrating in [s, s0 ] where 0 < s < s0 < η we see that there exists a constant C > 0 such that v ′ (s) < v(s) ≥ Cs1/q , This is impossible since the fact that v ∈ E implies lims→0 sv(s) 1/q 0 < s ≤ s0 . = 0. Step 5 If νq p θ = 1 then θ1/p = c∗p−1 p−1 . The critical speed for a given f may be approached by the critical speeds cn of an increasing sequence of functions of type B (see Remark 1.2). Denote by θn the corresponding minima, by Step 4 we have 1/p θn = c∗p−1 p−1 . Obviously θn ≥ θ so that n c∗n p−1 c∗ p−1 → ≥ θ−1/p p−1 p−1 where the last inequality comes from (2.11) and our assumption. θ−1/p ≥ 5 Remark 3.3. The condition νq p θ < 1 holds for instance if Z 1 f (x) dx > (p − 1)q p ν. 0 In fact, with v(s) = min(s, 1) we obtain Γ(v) ≥ Z ∞ 1 F (1) ds ≥ sp Hence Γ(v) > q p ν and, since J(v) = 1, the claim follows. 4 R1 0 f (x) dx . p−1 Conclusion We now come back to the caracterization of the critical speed for (1.2) where f is of type A. The front wave profiles with speed c are the monotone solutions of the second order boundary value problem (|u′ |p−2 u′ )′ − cu′ + f (u) = 0, u(−∞) = 0, u(+∞) = 1 (4.14) under assumption Hp′ ). As recalled in the Introduction, the admissible values of c are those for which (1.4) has solutions. Consider the space of functions F = {v ∈ AC([0, +∞[, R) | v ′ ∈ Lq (0, +∞) , v(0) = 0.} In the previous section we have given a variational characterization of the least value c such that (2.9) is solvable. By interchanging p and q, noting that (2.9) can also be read as (2.10) and taking into account Remark 1.1, we easily obtain the following statement. Theorem 4.1. Let f be a function of type A and assume (Hp′ ). Define γ = inf 1 q v∈F \0 Then the critical speed for (4.14) is the number c∗ given by R +∞ 0 R +∞ 0 γ= |v ′ (s)|q ds F (v(s)) sq ds . q . pc∗ q Moreover γ is attained if µpq γ < 1. Remark 4.2. In Theorem 3.2, the minimizer, say, v¯, yields the heteroclinic that solves (2.6) via the change of variable c∗ p−1 t u ¯(t) = v¯(e p−1 ). In Theorem 4.1 the relationship between the minimizer and the solution of (1.3) is less direct unless, of course, p = 2. In this case, after defining u ¯ as above, one obtains a solution ψ of 1 ψ ′ = p cq−1 ψ p − f (u) , ψ(0) = 0, ψ(1) = 0 1 by ψ = ϕq where u ¯′ = ϕ(¯ u). Then the heteroclinic w(t) that solves (1.3) is recovered via w′ = ψ(w) p . Aknowledgements. The first author was supported by MIUR (Italian Ministry for Education, University and Research).

Mason Inlet Waterbird Management Area Coastal Guide page 147 Description The Mason Inlet Waterbird Management Area is a 300-acre sanctuary located on the north end of Wrightsville Beach. The site is protected year-round for colonial waterbirds and shorebirds to use as nesting habitat during the breeding season, and resting and foraging habitat during winter and migration. Although the Mason Inlet sanctuary is posted with signs and symbolic rope fence to prevent human disturbance to the birds using the area, visitors to the site are afforded excellent views of nesting birds from several vantage points where various terns, Black Skimmer and Wilson's Plover nest close to the fence line. A sandy path beginning at an interpretive kiosk leads visitors across the primary dunes to the beach, following the fence line a little more than half a mile before reaching Mason Inlet. Along the way visitors will see typical barrier island dune and swale plants in their natural setting. During summer, colonial waterbirds and shorebirds nest within the dunes and forage along the inlet shoreline. Mason Inlet mud flats and sandy shoals are also excellent sites to look for migrating shorebirds and wading birds. Species of Interest (Full Bird List) Peregrine Falcon, Wilson's Plover, American Oystercatcher, Least Tern, Black Skimmer, winter waterfowl Habitat salt marsh, beach and dune Special Features/Concerns Nesting shorebirds and waterbirds are present during the summer. Please respect the posted areas for nesting birds. Sea beach amaranth, an endangered plant, also grows in the dune system. Please avoid disruption of all dune areas. Access and Parking Park in the public parking lot (fee) next to the Shell Island Resort or in the next available parking lot to the south. Park only in designated public parking lots. Parking on the roadside, in unauthorized parking at Shell Island Resort, or anywhere outside of designated parking lots will result in a citation and towing. The site is open daily, year-round.

In one week, I depart from Portland to the east coast. Wow, has this winter break flown by! Instead of flying directly from the west coast to Europe, I decided it would be more manageable to break the flight up. I’ll be visiting my family in New York for 3 days before departing for Barcelona, Spain. I like this idea for many reasons; it shortens the travel time and I have the opportunity to ease my way into the trip! After months of preparation, the time is nearing for the biggest adventure of my life so far! Though my family is very supportive, I will be honest in saying the trip is not coming at a perfect time. My dad is pretty ill and leaving him will be very difficult. After many hard conversations, encouragement from my family & friends, and my own longing to travel to Europe- I have become less apprehensive about the trip and more excited. For Christmas, my mom gave me a Lonely Planet guide book to the city of Barcelona. After reading all of the exciting reviews of the numerous restaurants, museums, markets, and day trips… Everything is becoming more real and the possibilities for my 4-month adventure are endless. I am living in an awesome neighborhood in the city center, merely a block away from my university, the beach, and in the heart of all of the action. I’m looking forward to meeting my roommate, Bryn, who is from Portland, ME (funny, huh?). We are living with an elderly host mom, Estela, is an apartment with her perro (dog). I look forward to meeting them & becoming acquainted with the city. With years of Spanish language and culture classes, I’m very excited to experience the Spanish lifestyle first-hand. I’m anticipating some culture shock, and I imagine I will be a little hesitant and overwhelmed initially. However, one of my main goals is to really immerse myself in the experience by putting my Spanish to use (even though I’ve heard many Spaniards would rather practice their English with you if given the chance!). So after the initial adjustment, I fully intend to come out of my comfort zone and demonstrate the old saying “Practice makes perfect” in regards to my Spanish. If there is one larger goal for my excursion to Barcelona, I would say it rests on the hope that I take full advantage of all of the culture has to offer. I want to visit sites I normally would not be interested in and try foods I typically shy away from at home i.e. seafood! I want to return home in 4 months knowing I took part in all the opportunities presented to me. Katy

I wanted version 16). First find the java version you want to use: apt-cache search openjdk You’re looking for something in the list that looks like openjdk-version-jdk or openjdk-version-jre. In my case I wanted openjdk-16-jdk Install your desired jdk or jre chosen from the search list: sudo apt install openjdk-whatever-version Check the java alternatives list to get the path to your new java version: update-java-alternatives --list My list looks like this: java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 1111 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 java-1.16.0-openjdk-amd64 1611 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.16.0-openjdk-amd64 So in my case, the path I would use in the next command is /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.16.0-openjdk-amd64. Use the path to set the new java version sudo update-java-alternatives --set /path/to/java/version If you’re using just the jre and not the full jdk you’ll get a bunch of “alternative not registered” errors. I this case, you can add the –jre flag to limit the action to just the jre-related stuff. sudo update-java-alternatives --jre --set /path/to/java/version Verify you are now using the desired java version: java --version That’s it. Have fun.

The prosecutor leading the long running investigation in Mantova, Italy centred around the Lampre team is to ask a judge to indict 32 people on a variety of doping charges including general manager Beppe Saronni, former world champion Alessandro Ballan and 2004 Giro d’Italia winner Damiano Cunego, reports La Repubblica. The riders, team staff and others allegedly involved in a doping ring run by Mariana Mantovana-based pharmacist Guido Nigrelli also include the likes of Denmark’s Michael Rasmussen, famously fired by his Rabobank team while leading the 2007 Tour de France, Ballan’s BMC Racing colleague Marco Santabrogio, and Movistar’s Marzio Bruseghin. If the story has a somewhat familiar ring to it, that’s because it’s been two years since news of the investigation first broke, and almost a year since details emerged of what was claimed to be some of the key evidence gathered.That includes tapes of telephone calls in which Ballan allegedly incriminated himself in using banned substances including human growth hormone and procedures such as illegal blood transfusions. In each of the past two seasons, both Ballan and Satambrogio have been placed on the non-active roster for a period by BMC Racing due to their involvement in the investigation. There is no news yet as to whether the team plans to take similar action following the latest developments in the case. With top ten finishes in the Strade Bianche, Milan-San Remo and E3 Harelbeke so far this season, Ballan is among the leading contenders in this weekend’s Tour of Flanders, a race he won in 2007. However, in each of the past two seasons, BMC Racing has placed both him and Satambrogio on the non-active roster for a period as new developments have emerged of their involvement in the Mantova investigation. There has been no confirmation as yet regarding whether the team intends to take similar action this time. The case now passes to the preliminary hearing judge, who will fix a date for a hearing to be held within the next three months as well as determining which, if any, charges each of the 32 people under suspicion will. ....sigh! Southern Europeans and doping.. Jeebus.. I think that is a more than a little shortsighted what about the Eastern Europeans? & the Northern Europeans? & the North & south Americans? & the Austrailians? All of which there is mountains of evidence for, positve tests included. I tire of the all the Spainish bashing like they where the only ones that ever doped personaly I would say Top athletes (not just cyclists) & doping.

Before time deciding whether you want to negotiate and how far you are willing to push. - Learning about your commute to your workplace is important because it’s something that you’ll be doing on a daily basis. Perhaps your job offer is in a similar location to where you already are and a familiar commute. If not, make the drive during commuting hours so you know it is a sustainable commute. Some companies also offer flexible work schedules and working remotely, but most office positions have set hours and the demands of the role require being in the office. - Finally, you want to make sure that the job can further your career goals. This means not only the chance for promotion, but possibly also the chance for continuing education. Or, perhaps, a work-life-balance job is a better fit for you. Know yourself, and research the position and company, to determine that the job offered aligns with your career vision.

JETprotect Corporation is pleased to debut cSENTRY™, an automatic all-weather security and deterrence system for estates that have safe rooms. Photo credit: JETprotect Corporation JETprotect Corporation is pleased to debut cSENTRY™, an automatic all-weather security and deterrence system for estates that have safe rooms. The combination of radar, thermal cameras and threat classification software creates a seven square mile umbrella of security from a single unit. cSENTRY™ detects, videos, tracks and alerts of trespassers miles away giving the family time to assess the threat and reach the safe room if needed. cSENTRY is an early warning system by detecting threats far from the home at night and in bad weather. It finds the trespassers and instantly pushes close-up video to the head of the household. High fidelity imagery of the intruders is linked to the appropriate family iPhones & iPads for immediate action. At the center of cSENTRY™ is Cortex™. Tactical software that extracts metric scene data and video from one or more cSENTRY’s and display trespassers on the estates aerial map. Cortex™ directs cameras to point and magnify every trespasser and push pictures to the estate owners, dedicated security personnel and central stations. Rules determine the initiation of defensive actions either automatically or by the owner. JETprotect’s CEO, Greg Johnston, says “cSENTRY™ is an elegant design that fuses weather penetrating radar and high-zoom cameras on top of a 20’ geometric spire. The system alerts you automatically and presents live video of potential threats from distance. It gives you time to react or in some cases retreat to the safe room”. cSENTRY™ is sold, installed and serviced by authorized dealers and integrators throughout the US and worldwide. JETprotect is a leading manufacturer of residential and commercial autonomous security systems, providing turn-key solutions for integrated security systems. Manufacturing harsh environment hardware and analytic software for surveillance and intelligence products for government agencies, corporate security and private safety.

Macaroni Kid Event Calendar Become a Publisher My Macaroni Submit an Event Search Subscribe National Archives About Twitter Pinterest National > DHA for Brain Health DHA for Brain Health January 2, 2013 Tips from life'sDHA January is here, everyone is ready to take that step and detoxify from the holidays and one too many sugar cookies at the cookie exchange. This year, when you make the resolution to take better care of your health, include your kids in that resolution. As parents we are so tuned into making sure our children eat the freshest foods, a well balanced diet and that they get plenty of exercise. There is one important component of this puzzle that is missing from many of our children’s diets and that is the inclusion of DHA omega-3. DHA is the building block of healthy minds and bodies. DHA omega-3 is a fat that is most often found in fatty fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel. Most of our children are not eating enough fatty fish to give them an adequate supply of this nutrient. Why is DHA so important? DHA impacts how well your brain cells communicate with each other and it can support memory function and clear thinking. In addition, DHA is a major structural fat found in the brain. Many of us were encouraged to take DHA when we were pregnant because our doctors knew the importance of building a healthy brain for our babies. Our children’s need for DHA did not stop once they were born – there is an ongoing need for this healthy fat throughout our lives. Recent research looked at the impact of DHA on students who were struggling in school. The DOLAB (DHA Oxford Learning And Behavior) study, which was published in PLoS-ONE Journal , supplemented a total of 362 healthy children with 600 milligrams of DHA from algae (the same type found in life’sDHA products) for 16 weeks. The researchers found that algal DHA supplementation significantly improved reading for the 224 children with baseline reading scores in the lower 20th percentile, compared to the placebo group. Reading was also significantly improved in the subgroup of 105 children with baseline reading scores in the lower 10th percentile. These findings translate to an additional 0.8 month gain in reading age in children with baseline reading scores in the lower 20th percentile and an additional 1.9 month gain in reading age for children with baseline reading scores in the lower 10th percentile, compared to the placebo group. So what can we do as parents? My kids eat salmon but not a lot and not often enough to get the amount of DHA into them that they need. What if you are a vegetarian? Most supplements are fish based. life’sDHA is a vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA, it is also the source of DHA used in the DOLAB study. You can find life’sDHA in Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 and Flintstones Gummies Complete Multivitamin plus DHA omega-3 . life’sDHA has offered us some great tips to help keep your child’s mind active and healthy: Step 1 – Get Moving Engage in physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day to encourage new brain cells and connections to form. Playing catch, hiking or swimming, are ways for the entire family to exercise together. Step 2 – Nourish the Body and Mind Maximize your child’s intake of DHA, the omega-3 fatty acid that makes up 97 percent of the omega-3s in the brain. Find it in fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel) or, if your child doesn’t like fish, look for Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 or Flintstones Gummies Complete Multivitamin plus DHA omega-3 – these are just some of the products fortified with a vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA from algae. Step 3 – Embrace New Activities Continually challenging the brain inside and outside of school through activities such as reading, playing games, creative pursuits like dancing or painting, or learning a new language or skill will help keep your child’s mind active. Step 4 – Expand Their Social Network Nurturing friendships and engaging in social activities such as play dates, clubs and volunteering will help keep your child’s mind engaged. I personally use life’sDHA supplements with my own children and have tried many of their products for adults. You can learn more about life’sDHA, its products and the research behind the importance of DHA in your child’s diet by checking out the following resources: life’sDHA website – life’sDHA Facebook – life’sDHA Twitter - @lifesDHA life’sDHA YouTube – Beautiful Minds Blog – Taking this simple step will make a difference for your child in the long run! This year make a resolution not only for yourself but for your children also! Here’s to a year filled with health!

College Hockey:US World Junior Roster Announced ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The roster for the U.S. Junior Team was announced Tuesday. This year’s games take place in Geneva, Switzerland, with practice games in Germany. Boston College and Minnesota led the way with players on the roster, with three each. For BC, forwards Marty Reasoner, Jeff Farkas, and Blake Bellefeuille will play; for Minnesota, forwards Erik Rasmussen and Wyatt Smith, along with defenseman Ben Clymer will be traveling to Switzerland. The two teams, without these players, will meet each other in the opening round of the Mariucci Classic in Minneapolis on Dec. 27. St. Cloud State and Colorado College had two players each make the roster. Boston University had two players announced, but one of the players, freshman Dan LaCouture, has left BU. Colorado College is perhaps the hardest hit by the roster announcement, as they face Vermont in the opening round of the Badger Showdown, followed by the either of Wisconsin/New Hampshire. None of the other three teams in the tournament lose players to the U.S. Junior Team. The team follows up with a game at Michigan State, which loses Mike York to the Junior Team. Minnesota and Boston College, while each plays each other with the shortened roster, must face Miami or Clarkson, both schools unaffected. Minnesota has an exhibition match with Team Finland, and the players get back from Switzerland just in time for a road trip to Alaska-Anchorage. Typically the loss of the key young talent is difficult for the teams, but it is generally agreed that the players come back better for the experience. 1996-97 United States National Junior Team Roster No. Name, Pos.

Warning: The NCBI web site requires JavaScript to function. more... Fetching bibliography... Generate a file for use with external citation management software. Abdominal lipectomy is becoming an increasingly common surgical procedure in patients with esthetic deformities resulting from massive weight loss induced by bariatric surgery. Sometimes a midline incisional hernia coexists with the pendulus abdomen. Herein presented is a technique to perform a retromuscular mesh repair of the incisional hernia while sparing the umbilicus. The abdominal lipectomy with concomitant retro-muscular mesh repair of a midline incisional hernia is done sparing the vascular supply of the umbilicus on one side only. 5 consecutive women with pendulus abdomen resulting from bariatric surgery-induced massive weight loss and concomitant midline incisional hernia underwent abdominal lipectomy and incisional hernia mesh repair. Mean BMI was 28.6 kg/m2 (range 26-35), one patient was a smoker, and another had type 2 diabetes requiring oral hypoglycemic agents. Two patients had had a previous incisional hernia repair with intraperitoneal mesh. One patient had partial necrosis of the umbilicus and another experienced necrosis of only the epidermis that recovered fully. The umbilicus can be safely spared during abdominal lipectomy with concomitant midline incisional hernia mesh repair. Recurrent incisional hernia and common risk factors for wound healing such as diabetes and obesity increase the risk of umbilical necrosis.

Come claim your Belvedere June 22, 2007Posted by Ron in Events, Vehicles. trackback A fellow by the name of R.E. Humbertson was revealed as the person in 1957 who guessed closest to Tulsa’s 2007 population, and so he gets the rusted 1957 Plymouth Belvedere that was taken out of a vault last week, reported the Tulsa World. It is possible Humbertson is still alive; he would be 85 years old today. However, other than the fact he was born in Cumberland, Md., little is known about him. Humbertson or his heirs have five years to claim the vehicle. It is hoped that more will be known about him later. UPDATE: There’s a fascinating bunch of reader comments with the World’s story that strongly indicate the R.E. Humbertson is Raymond Humbertson, who died nearly three decades ago. The intriguing thing is that this Humbertson’s wife is dead, and he apparently had no children. If this speculation is true, this adds a whole bunch of new questions about who gets the Belvedere. UPDATE2: The World confirmed that Humbertson has died. However, he has two elderly sisters, so there may be heirs after all.

>>. ON THE SET: COMMERCIAL BACKGROUND Set Etiquette – Come prepared, be professional, and be ready for long days. If there is a problem on set, do not make a scene; ask your questions, document the problem and call SAG. Never leave the set until you are dismissed and your voucher has been signed. Editing – Commercials are great for background actors. Most national commercials in Nevada pay background performers at the unlimited session rate of $323 – more than double the session fee under the film and TV contracts. If you are not notified at the time of hire that compensation is based on the 13-week cycle rate then the unlimited use rate of $323 applies. Another potential benefit is the occasional upgrade to principal performer. Upgrades occur during the editing process and are applicable when: 1) A performer is directed to speak a word or a line; 2) A performer is doing an identifiable stunt; or 3) the performer is in the foreground, is identifiable and is demonstrating or illustrating a product or service, or is reacting to narration or commercial message. To receive an upgrade under No. 3, a background performer must meet all three criteria simultaneously. Pay – Session payment for a commercial is due 12 business days after the session.

NOW AVAILABLE Soon to celebrate its 25th anniversary of service, the Screen Actors Guild Foundation is once again happy to announce availability of applications for the John L. Dales Scholarship. Branch President’s Report By Steve Dressler On December 14, the Nevada SAG Branch had a holiday mixer/organizing event for the Las Vegas entertainment industry. More than 500 professionals attended during the evening. The feedback has been tremendous as the Branch used the event to introduce members to Las Vegas industry leaders, and to help members with joining iActor, including scanning their photos for upload. There was also a raffle where several very nice prizes were handed out to winners in attendance. I would like to thank those involved with putting it all together: Barbara Grant, Rick Rockne, Chris Rogers, Charlie DiPinto, Scott Mirne, Arttours Weeden, Nevada Executive Director Steve Clinton, and many others who helped make it a success. The following month, on January 23, many of our members and their friends got together for a viewing of the SAG Awards at McMullan’s Irish Pub. McMullan’s let us use their private room with a projection screen and four large-screen TVs. Everyone said they had a terrific evening and it was great to watch our union portrayed in such a good light. These events demonstrate that many of our members enjoy getting together and having a good time. We hope to continue this trend with more events in the coming year and to improve on the SAG viewing party this time next year. We will be having a membership meeting Sunday, March 21, 2010, at the Tropicana Hotel. We will be honored with the presence of National President Ken Howard. Please mark your calendar and plan on attending. Details are still being worked out, but we expect to hold a SAG Foundation Conversations with President Howard before the meeting. Conversations will be open to all SAG members. The membership meeting will be for Nevada members only. Final details will be sent via the official membership meeting notification in a few weeks. In preparation for the upcoming TV/Theatrical Contract negotiations, the National W&W will be asking for input from all the local W&W Committees. I will schedule a Nevada W&W Committee meeting sometime in May to discuss issues important to our Branch. If you would like to serve on this committee, please contact me at [email protected]. 2010 Negotiations: Your Input is Crucial Every new year is filled with possibilities, and although SAG doesn’t have a crystal ball that can foretell the future, it does have the next best thing, and that’s information. Early TV/Theatrical negotiations are scheduled for October 1 through November 15 of this year. According to SAG contracts staff, Wages and Working Conditions committee meetings (the process where member committees around the country formulate proposals for possible inclusion in the final proposal package) should take place across the country beginning in either May or June. Member input is encouraged. “We are eager to hear from you. Share your experiences and make your concerns heard,” says David White, the Guild’s national executive director and chief negotiator. “Such feedback is essential to our negotiations process.” Information from meetings will include the individual needs of performer groups.The National Board will set specific dates for the Wages and Working Conditions process, likely in April. In addition, members can give contracts feedback right now. Log in at SAG.org and click on the New Media Work Experience Survey box to get started. If no agreement is reached on the TV/Theatrical Contract in 2010, the June 30, 2011, expiration date will remain in effect. National Board Report You are the Union By Art Lynch National Board Director When I joined Screen Actors Guild many years ago, I did it with pride and with the knowledge that I was closing the door on a lucrative non-union income as an actor, voice artist and background talent. It cost me more than the initiation fee, but being from a proud union family going back generations, I did it with pride. Joining and sticking to Rule One is even more difficult given that we live in a right-to-work state. We all make sacrifices by sticking to our beliefs and proudly being union. But it is worth the price. By sticking to our guns, we make it possible for the Guild to maintain our level of union work, and over time to grow new work. We need to organize this marketplace. The council and our executive are working hard in this direction, but it takes all of you, as members, for us to be successful and end the flow of union work to non-union talent. The National Board is considering a tiered member initiation fee, with payment plans, to make it easier in this economy for those who are used by producers but who do not join the union, to join our ranks. Once in place, all of us, as members, need to encourage all qualified pre-union talent to join our ranks. If we do not, then the qualified Taft-Hartley pool will grow instead and make it increasingly difficult for our union to organize union work for all of us, as members. We, as members of Screen Actors Guild in a “right-to-work for less and be terminated at will” state, are at the forefront of the battle for unionism in our country. We are the front line troops who need to stand firm, proud to sell the benefits of being union to all those around us. Thank you for being a part of that fight. Our voices are being heard. Nevada remains strong in its voice and position at the national level, on the board, on the president’s caucus, on committees and in the dedication of our staff. As I indicated in the last newsletter, we lead the Branches in the participation of our members on national committees and task forces. Our voice and our experience is seen and heard. We should be proud of our Branch in our significant percentage of turnout at membership meetings, in our strong and ongoing conservatory, and in how we make our voices and needs heard at the local and national level. The January National Board meeting under National President Ken Howard was run professionally, efficiently and in a timely manner. We're moving forward aggressively toward a new round of negotiations with management that could shape the future of how labor and our rapidly changing industry interact. All SAG national committees are working toward assisting the Wages and Working Conditions Committee and our negotiating committees in identifying and prioritizing the contractual needs of our membership. As co-chair of the National New Technologies Committee, I work with members from across the country in focusing on how technology is rapidly changing the way we practice our craft, how and where our work is seen, and how best to assure that we not only have work in the future, but increased opportunities to earn income doing what we love to do. SAG members give to our fellow performers and to our communities. We tend to be active in many areas and on many issues. It is important we continue to put some of our energy, our talents and our experience into local committees and in working for our fellow performers. The local legislative and organizing committees are seeking active membership to reach out and make a difference. SAG members give back to their communities and fellow performers. As a member of the National Honors and Tributes Committee (or HATS), I was involved in the process of selecting the Life Achievement Award winner. This was my second year participating in a process of looking at members who have excelled as performers, have contributed to the entertainment community, work tirelessly for others both inside and outside the craft and believe in the potential of all individuals. What I can share is that there is no shortage of heart among SAG members, both celebrities and those who prefer to be known as “working actors.” The decision is a difficult one filled with research, discussions, ballots, debate and, finally, consensus. Kudos to the great Betty White, this year’s Life Achievement Award recipient. Member grassroots energy also made possible gatherings for the holidays and the SAG Awards. That same energy and drive can move mountains on a local and national level. Let Nevada President Steve Dressler know you are interested in keeping our Branch strong and a leader among the small Branches. Show your pride. On March 21 we will hold our Nevada Branch membership meeting. It is important you attend and remind other members of the Nevada Branch to attend as well. This is an important time to reflect the participation, attendance and pride we show as the Nevada Branch. If you have it, wear your SAG pins, jackets and clothing (available through the thesagshop.com) to show your union pride. Show our new members that Nevada is (and always has been) one of the most active and proud small Branches of a great union! See you there! Branch Executive's Report By Steve Clinton Nevada Executive Director As I sit at my keyboard typing this message, I am a couple weeks short of my first year anniversary with Screen Actors Guild and moving to Nevada. In many ways this is a bittersweet benchmark in my life. On one hand it is wonderful working with and providing service to Guild members – I truly missed direct representation and am happy to be doing it again. It is also almost surreal at times as I realize I am working for people who are part of the collaborative effort that brings art to the big screen. This is an honor, and I could never have predicted my life would take this path. It also gives me great joy to be back out West, surrounded by the desert and guarded by mountains. I knew I missed the desert and the mountains, but not how much until I lived somewhere again that allowed me to drive a couple of minutes to be within their beauty. On the other hand, besides the challenge of learning a new job and meeting new people, I arrived on the scene when Nevada was, and still is, going through one of the slowest production periods since 1998 in an economy that is approaching the dire levels of last century’s Great Depression. I have lived my entire life trying to help people, protect their rights and to get them work. To represent so many who want to work and can’t is the single greatest challenge of my job. As work continues to dry up, and more and more people become desperate to pay their bills, it becomes more tempting to step away from our own self-interest and that of our sisters and brothers and scab on non-union work. To do so undermines you and your family, the Guild, and the Guild’s decades of effort to raise the living standard of the artists and performers it represents. It allows the exploiters, like some casting directors in town who lie to their people and tell them it is okay to work non-union, to get a stronger toehold in our industry. Scabbing is the slippery slope to having no union jobs, and a union job is the only work that allows some of us to live as middle-class Americans. While the labor movement started centuries ago, it only became effective and provided a middle-class existence during the last Great Depression. All the gains workers have made since then can be lost if we are not willing to sacrifice and stand together during the worst of times. Stay strong, stay union, stay together for all of our futures. Dear Folks... By Charlie DiPinto, Nevada Organizing Committee Chair and well known local “Curly” It's the stroke of midnight in “Sin City” and Larry, Moe and Curly are entertaining at a party thrown at the fabulous and decadent Smith & Wollensky on Las Vegas Boulevard. (There is simply no substitute for class.) We sing, we dance, we eat, and we laugh, and most importantly, we enjoy each other’s company. Sprinkled throughout the throng were other impersonators – Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Tom Jones. The only real legend enjoying the festivities is the former heavyweight champion of the world, Smokin' Joe Fraser and his lovely and beloved wife. Mobbed by the crowd when introduced, Joe graciously obliges all with photos and autographs. Joe gives the group an additional treat with his terrific rendition of "Mustang Sally." The Stooges are also signing photos for all who want them. When I approach the Champ and ask if he wants an autographed publicity photo of "The Stooges," he motions to lay the photo in front of him then proceeds to sign our publicity picture. That was a first. Steve “Elvis” Connolly says the same thing happened to him with Wayne Newton. There is a wedding in the next room and somehow we manage to flirt with the bridal party in there as well. Such is the life of an actor between on-screen gigs! Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk..

Debuting at the Detroit Auto Show three years ago, the Lexus LC coupe gave us a reason to take Toyota’s luxury brand seriously again. The stylish, high-end coupe was a major hit at the show and turned out to be pretty good on the road as well. Now Lexus is trying to keep the magic going with a convertible version of the LC, which debuts at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show. However, Lexus won’t confirm plans for production just yet. The Lexus LC convertible concept really is just an LC coupe without a roof, adding more visual drama to what was already a head-turning car. The interior looks pretty similar as well, although Lexus fitted the convertible concept with white leather upholstery that would probably be a nightmare to keep clean in real life. Lexus didn’t offer any details on the powertrain, but the production LC coupe is available is available with the two very different options. The LC 500 boasts a 5.0-liter V8 producing 471 horsepower, while the LC 500h has a V6 hybrid powertrain with a total system output of 354 hp. Lexus hasn’t sold a convertible since the IS C went out of production in 2015. The RC coupe was engineered to be turned into a convertible, but Lexus ditched that plan to focus on more profitable crossovers. A production version of the LC convertible concept would essentially take the place of the Lexus SC 430, which went out of production in 2010. Like the LC, the SC was meant to be a flagship for Lexus. But the car wasn’t successful, thanks to a conservative design and lack of tech features (the SC was the last car sold in the United States with a tape deck). Both the IS C and SC featured retractable hard tops, but Lexus did not say what kind of top it used in the LC convertible concept. We’re betting on a soft top, given the lack of space behind the rear seats. That wouldn’t be a problem, as many other convertibles at the LC’s price point have soft tops. The fact that rivals like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche offer both coupe and convertible versions of their high-end two-doors would seem to make a case for putting the LC convertible into production, but Lexus won’t commit. “A production version of this concept would be exhilarating in many different ways,” Tadao Mori, the car’s chief designer, said in a statement, without confirming plans for production. The Lexus LC convertible concept debuts at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show. It will share the limelight with, among other things, the Toyota Supra, the highly anticipated sports car from Lexus’ sibling brand. helps readers keep tabs on the fast-paced world of tech with all the latest news, fun product reviews, insightful editorials, and one-of-a-kind sneak peeks.

The oldest prisoner in Britain has been revealed as a Birmingham man jailed for a string of vile child sex offences. The country's oldest lag - who is being housed in a UK jail - is 104-year-old Ralph Clarke . Depraved Clarke was sentenced to a 13-year term for historic child sex attacks in 2016 at the age of 101. The retired lorry driver turned 104 this year. Clarkesystematically abused two girls and a boy in the 1970s and 80s, bribing at least one of them with money for sweets. The former Erdington man thought he had avoided justice for his horrific crimes – until his victims went to the police in disgust at the tributes paid to him when he turned 100. He is one of 13,617 aged over 50 out of a prison population of 82,710 as of June 2019, a figure which has tripled since 2002, reports the Mirror . Of those,1,759 were 70 or older. The rise in OAPs behind bars has led to a call for prisons to be specifically designed to deal with their care demands. The Prison Officers Association warned their members are dealing with inmates who are "dying in front of them." Many are frail, incontinent or have dementia, according to the POA. "Young staff trained to be prison officers are becoming carers," said one officer with 30 years' experience. "Older prisoners are starting big sentences. Young prison officers are coming straight from university, with very little life experience. "They have to deal with major traumatic events like somebody dying in front of them." Tougher prison sentences and historic sex cases are partly to blame. Dr Mary Turner, reader in health services research at Huddersfield University, told the BBC: "People tend to get longer sentences, even in older age, than they might have done in the past. "There are more older people going into prison than there are being released." Inspector of Prison Peter Clarke warned the number of men over 50 being held would rise to 14,000 by 2022, around 17 percent of the prison population. "When prisoners get older, less capable physically or infirm, they don't provide an escape risk," he said. "They still have to be held in custody very often and it's not to say they wouldn't present a risk to the public if they were completely at liberty. "The question is do they need to be held in levels of security which are not needed for their physical capabilities and which inevitably are very expensive as well?" The Prison Service is working closely with local councils and healthcare providers to make sure the needs of elderly prisoners are being met. “Last year, a Chief Inspector of Prisons report found there was good work to adapt prisons for older inmates. We updated guidance for governors," said a spokesman. Local authorities are responsible for assessing and meeting eligible social care and support needs of adult prisoners detained in their area.

MIS (Mindfulness Inventory for Sport) This instrument assesses mindfulness in sport as a three-dimensional variable. It measures three sub-scales: meta-awareness, acceptance and refocusing. Meta-awareness is the ability to closely observe one's thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in the present moment; Acceptance is the ability to allow and accept one's thoughts, feelings, and body sensations without trying to judge them; Refocusing is the ability to stay focused or quickly refocus on performance-relevant cues. Items are understandable by 13 y.o. children. An adult supervision is preferred for younger athletes. Sport psychology consultants and sport psychologists using this tool should be educated in the 3rd wave of cognitive behavioral therapy. Languages: English and French (français) The French version is an adpatation of the original English version by Émilie Thienot et al. and is currently being validated.

To date, 3 Day Startup has educated over 2,000 university students by immersing them in its hands-on entrepreneurship program that builds entrepreneurial communities and kickstarts new companies. Since its inception, the 3DS nonprofit has helped participants launch over thirty companies that have collectively raised over $7.5 million in financing. In many of our 3DS events, we have used a legal structure designed by a major international law firm. This legal structure aims to protect intellectual property (IP) generated by participants during their 3DS program so that it can then be used by those same participants as the basis of their newly formed companies. We often receive questions about this legal structure, so we wanted to take some time to answer a few of these questions for our audience of potential and future participants, mentors, and organizers. Why have any legal agreements for a weekend entrepreneurship event? To answer this question, it’s important to consider the potential outcomes of a weekend entrepreneurship event. If the primary goal of the event is to have something fun to do while also working on a few personal projects, then it’s likely that no legal structure is needed. Indeed, many events operate with this goal and without any legal structure. On the other hand, if a primary goal of the event is to help participants start companies, it is important to consider the process of that event and the resulting implications for founders of companies emanating from that event. For 3DS events, developers write code, business students devise business models, designers construct beautiful user experiences, and everyone talks to customers to collect important information to validate a business concept. By the end of the event, there is a quality presentation, a prototype, serious momentum, and an initial business hypothesis, all of which are good enough to carry forward and become a real business. The question then becomes: who “owns” the end product(s), and by definition the components that make up the end result? At 3DS events, many participants work on numerous projects because we strongly encourage collaboration between teams. Often, we have a roving “design studio” that helps all teams, or we’ll have individuals who take it upon themselves to write code for every team, etc. (If you’re one of these serial helpers, you might be in the running for a Spirit of 3DS Award!) Accepting that a dozen people had a hand in this creation, what legal steps should the founding team of two or three take to ensure that they have the rights to use what was created on the weekend to move their idea forward? Should they just not worry about it? Should they rely on a verbal “dude, its cool, you can use the logos I created, code I wrote, and the survey research I gathered?” Should they go to every one of the dozen people that worked on their team and have them sign IP assignment agreements? Should they give up small chunks of equity in exchange for the rights to use each individual person’s creation? Should they opt for a shoddily drafted, or poorly executed document, and risk a lawsuit later? All of these are possibilities–many of which have been tried by entrepreneurs in the past–but they pose risks that can be easily avoided. Our 3DS legal structure aims to minimize those risks for teams and companies whose conception can be traced to a 3DS event. How does the 3DS legal structure work? In order to address the question of who “owns” the end product(s), and by definition the components that make up the end result, 3DS worked with a major international law firm to create a legal structure that clarifies and creates a valid chain of title in all of the intellectual property generated over the course of a given 3DS event. The valid chain of title is necessary for the IP generated over a given 3DS event to be used by the teams that are founded coming out of the event. This is accomplished by a three step process: (1) participants sign IP assignments to effectuate a valid transfer of IP, (2) IP is temporarily held by the 3DS nonprofit, (3) the 3DS nonprofit transfers the IP to a startup company formed by individual participants (or teams) from a given 3DS event. 3DS regularly transfers IP back to teams or individuals that request the IP from their 3DS event. Over the last week alone, we transferred IP back to three founding teams. Upon request, we can provide contact information for teams that have experienced the 3DS IP transfer process. Why does 3DS ever hold the IP? Because some person or legal entity has to. Instead of having an individual person or a for-profit corporation hold the IP, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization built around helping students start companies is a sensible choice. Neither the Board of Directors of 3 Day Startup, nor any of the organizers ever holds an interest (ownership or otherwise) in any of this temporarily held IP. Furthermore, if the IP from any given concept at any given event is not transferred within one year, the 3DS nonprofit’s rights to the IP automatically expire. Overall, what is the purpose of the 3DS legal structure? We want students who participate in our events to be successful in creating new companies. To ensure this, the legal structure is designed to remove legal headache, and worry that participants may be sued down the line for using something that was created during a 3DS weekend. We’re fortunate that our alumni have founded over thirty companies. We’ve been told by our alums and by investors that they are glad that we have a legal process that makes the ownership of intellectual property clear. Indeed, investors are hesitant to invest in companies that have ill-defined equity and IP ownership. Understandably, they are not willing to take on the risk. You should produce your legal agreement for the public to see since that is actually what has been and is at issue. Be transparent. I agree. Not one of our 2000+ participants has raised this issue, as we provide all of them with copies of our agreements. Our standard process for questions about the agreement is to provide them (or their attorney) with a copy of the document, and then offer to meet for coffee to discuss in further detail. If you’re interested in speaking with us about it, we’d love to meet and discuss. Thank you. Not one? Why are you lying? You do understand how the internet works, right? Heh. Nice delivery. I give it an olympic 9.8. Have you decided then, according to your standard process, to give Keith Casey a copy of the agreement? Only wondering because it just seems odd that he would ask and ask and ask, and the most you would offer up was a meeting over coffee to explain a document that he was not allowed to have or even see, even though your standard process, as described by you, is: “Our standard process for questions about the agreement is to provide them (or their attorney) with a copy of the document, and then offer to meet for coffee to discuss in further detail.” Interesting. Um, I thought consideration has to be given by both parties in order for a contract to be binding… (IANAL) If so, what consideration does 3DS provide?

The first slot machines were designed by Pitt and Sittman in New York in 1891. It had five drums that would show poker hands. It didn't have any payout mechanism so the places that use them would pay the prizes on their own, most commonly free drinks. Then in 1895 Charles Fey made his first slot machine in his basement. The Liberty Bell, so named because of the sound that it made when someone hit a winning combination. It was made of over 100 pounds of cast iron and didn't have the fruit symbols that modern slot machines today have. It had suits from playing cards such as spades and diamonds as well as stars and horseshoes. By 1907 Charles Fey decided to partner with Mills Novelty Company and produced a new version of the machine which they called Operator Bell. This machine carried the now famous fruit symbols on its reels. Since these machine weighed so much and cumbersome to move around, Mills made a lighter more portable version made of wood in 1915. The Mills Company branched out and created more slot machines for the growing number of intrigued players. In 1930 they made some ground-breaking changes to the original slot machines. They made the new slots less noisy and added a double jackpot feature. This allowed players to win twice in a string of plays. They also worked on different designed for the machines which gave rise to themed slots. It made the game more popular and enticed a whole slew of new players and made the slot machine industry game boom throughout the United States. As with any other gambling game, the slot machines were bombarded be legal issues and protest. It became illegal in San Francisco in 1909 and was banned in Nevada a year later. In 1911 the state of California made it a state-wide ban. In New York, Mayor La Guardia ordered the dumping the slot machines at sea, even though some of them were only vending machines. Bugsy Siegel, an infamous underground figure, who built the Flamingo Hilton on the Las Vegas strip invested on slot machines to fill up his casino floor and keep his rich friends' wives and girlfriends entertained. The slot machine grew in popularity in the United States and eventually, the world. It now accounts for 70-80% of casino revenues. This highly profitable and entertaining machine has made casino owners into corporate moguls. It has developed from Fey's 100-pounder of a machine to what we know as noisy and brightly-lit machines.

By: Anna Mareike Schonle (reprinted here with permission) After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the German reunification, the University of Greifswald and the City Council showed great commitment to the vision of establishing a new State Museum on the Baltic coast. Both institutions actively supported the project, and the German Government and the Federal State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania also provided funding for the project. Everybody was aware that a Pomeranian State Museum was only feasible in cooperation with Poland and Sweden. This is due to the eventful and close history which connects the three countries. An advisory council with professional representatives from Poland, Sweden and Denmark was established because the museum sees itself not only as an exhibition of Pomeranian history and culture, but also as a forum in the Baltic Sea region for trans-national work, especially for international youth work. The Director of the Museum Dr. Uwe Schröder orga- nized the setting up of the museum from the very beginning. The museum is located on the grounds of a former Franciscan Monastery, and the former library, which is the only preserved part of the monastery, is integrated into the museum. Today’s picture gallery used to be the town school, built by Johann Friedrich Quistorp, the teacher of Caspar David Friedrich, one of the great sons of Greifswald. In 2000, the picture gallery opened to the public. The quality of our art collection is shown by the masterpieces of Caspar David Friedrich, which reflect the Nordic landscape. We own seven of his paintings, among them the famous “Eldena Ruins in the Sudeten mountains”. We also feature Vincent van Gogh and his “A Lane near Arles”. The painting was purchased by the Pomer- anian picture gallery of Szczecin in 1911. To protect it against attacks in World War II, it was taken to Kiel (Schleswig-Holstein) via Coburg (Bavaria), and after the foundation of the State Museum in Greifswald it came back to Pomerania. For this reason the painting is today known as the “Pomeranian van Gogh”. Besides these, there are many paintings from the baroque era, such as works by the famous artist Frans Hals. The collection also comprises works by Max Liebermann, one of the most famous German impres- sionists, and works by expressionists like Max Pechstein, who worked in Pomerania. In our history exhibition, which opened in 2005, we show 14,000 years, starting with natural history. You can follow the journey of amber, 50 million years after its formation. Core samples show fossils one million years old, mineralized ammonites, seashells or sponges. You can also find our first “guest” from Sweden, a huge boulder, pushed to Pomerania via the ice. It whispers myths about the “giant stones” to children. The exhibition also refers to the legend of Vineta: Off the shore of the Pomeranian coast there was supposed to be a wealthy town. People lived there in luxury and abundance. This annoyed a mermaid so much that she made the town sink to the bottom of the sea. The legend says that on quiet days you can still hear the bells of Vineta chiming from the bottom of the sea. Our medieval section shows the installation of the castle of Arkona on the island of Rügen, the original pil- lars from a Cistercian monastery, the Reformation and medieval lifestyle and the Slavic craftsmanship and the rich culture of the Hanseatic cities. Walking on through the museum, events follow chronologically. During the Thirty Years’ War the Swedish King came to the island of Rügen in 1630, and 200 years of Swedish reign in Pomerania started. Therefore a detailed section of the exhibition refers to the Swedish times. The Swedish were able to occupy Pomera- nia because the last Duke of Pomerania died in 1637. The University of Greifswald inherited a large tapestry from the Duke’s Family which we are allowed to ex- hibit. The “Croy Tapestry”, as it is called after the Duke’s sister’s married name, shows the Pomeranian commitment to the Protestant denomination. At the time this represented a very important testimony of Reformation, and today it is one of the major artifacts of Pomeranian culture. After the Congress of Vienna [1815] Pomerania became Prussian. There is a most detailed miniature mod- el of the Harbor of Stettin and another of the huge ship Kaiser Wilhelm I., which took many Pomeranians abroad. Our last exhibition room deals with the life of Pomeranians who emigrated to the USA, Brazil, Aus- tralia and other countries in the nineteenth century. Currently, we are working on an exhibition of the twentieth century, which we hope to inaugurate in 2015. In our museum you have the opportunity not only to watch but also to listen and even to touch history. Au- dio guides are available in German, English, Polish and Swedish. After the tour inside you can visit our monastery garden, with herbs and traditional plants. There are guided garden tours regularly. We try hard to make sure that everybody feels comfortable in the museum. The whole complex is barrier-free, and we want to give children an adventurous time. Our educational department is very committed. The staff create many programs for ages four and up. They organize special summer and winter programs, adventures during the holidays and interesting guided tours or rallies through the exhibition suitable for every age. Right next to the museum, also inside the medieval abbey walls, is a renowned gourmet restaurant named Le Croy. Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden dined here when she visited the University of Greifswald on the occasion of its 550th anniversary in 2006. Tickets for the museum are valid all day, so you can take a break during your visit, maybe in the Le Croy or in any other of the restaurants on the market square, which is only a three minutes’ walk. We look forward to welcoming you in our museum in the center of the beautiful City of Greifswald!

Internal control The Board has overall responsibility for the Group's system of internal control, which is designed to safeguard the assets of the Group and ensure the reliability of the financial information for both internal use and external publication, and to comply with the Turnbull guidance and the Code. The Board confirms that it has reviewed the effectiveness of the internal control system, including financial, operational and compliance controls and risk management in accordance with the Code, for the period from 2 February 2013 to the date of approval of this Annual Report and Accounts 2013/14. If significant losses were to be incurred during the year as a result of a failure of controls, a detailed report would be provided to the Audit Committee and the Board. The Board confirms that no significant weaknesses were identified in relation to the review carried out during the year and therefore, no remedial action was required. The Board has approved a set of policies, procedures and frameworks for effective internal control. The Group has procedures for the delegation of authorities for significant matters, to ensure approval is sought at the appropriate level. These procedures are subject to regular review and provide an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by the Group. Such a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The responsibility for designing, operating and monitoring the system and the maintenance of effective control is delegated to the management of each of the Group's Operating Companies. The Group's risk management and reporting process helps Group management to identify, assess, prioritise and mitigate risk. Management at each Operating Company has responsibility for the identification and evaluation of the significant risks applicable to their business and any mitigating actions to be taken. The Group Executive Committee reviews, identifies and evaluates the risks that are significant at a Group level, as well as the mitigating actions against those risks. These are then considered by the Board. The types of risks identified included both strategic and material operational risks and are detailed on pages 28 to 31 of the report. Management is required to apply judgement in evaluating the risks facing the Group in achieving its objectives, in determining the risks that are considered acceptable to bear, in assessing the likelihood of those risks materialising, in identifying the Group a monthly and cumulative basis; - written reports from the Group Chief Executive and Group Finance Director submitted at each Board meeting; - Operating Company management report formally to the Audit Committee on a regular basis on the control environment in their business and actions taken to maintain or improve the environment as appropriate; and - reports and presentations to the Board on certain areas of specialist risk. These include treasury, insurance, tax and pensions. A formal bi-annual certification is provided by the CEO and Finance Director of each Operating Company stating that appropriate internal controls were in operation and confirming compliance with Group policies and procedures. Any weaknesses are highlighted and the results are reviewed by Operating Company management, the Group Audit and Risk Management Director, the Group Finance and Planning Director, the Audit Committee and the Board. The internal audit function monitors and selectively checks the results of this exercise, ensuring that representations made are consistent with the results of its work during the year. The internal audit function follows a planned programme of reviews that are aligned to the Group's risks. The function: - works with the Operating Companies to develop, improve and embed risk management tools and processes into their business operations; - reports directly to the Audit Committee and has the authority to review any relevant part of the Group; - oversees the operation of the individual Operating Companies' audit committees; and - provides the Audit Committee and the Board with objective assurance on the control environment across the Group.

There’s some great lists developing out there with rules for start-ups. I pulled out the points people made about marketing and PR for start-ups, which usually gets bad-mouthed, and decided to give my take. The lists I looked at: Jason Calcanis Mark Cuban Andy Fox 1) tend to agree. Unless you’re a large corporate brand with a high comms monitoring and output requirement a freelance consultant can offer you flexibility, be cost-effective, and also have a broader skills base 2) “Blog instead of hiring a PR firm” - While blogging *can* be a useful communications channel it’s not the be-all and end-all of disseminating information and key messages - Traditional media are still important and they aren’t all reading blogs - A good media relations practitioner will introduce you to journalists/writers who wouldn’t normally talk to you - This is hard to hear, but not all CEOs and wannabe spokespeople are great communicators – a good PR will refine your messages and also keep you abreast of industry conversations you could join - If you’re new and you don’t have a lot of money though this is a good starting point 3) ” - PR isn’t rocket science but media pros are specialists in being tapped in to *all* media - Not all journalists will take unsolicited email; you may think your company is interesting but they are being bombarded with 100s and 100s of press releases and emails daily – some PRs will fastrack you in their Inbox - We know the press – we’ll package the info how they want it delivered to them - Founders are good contacts for press – your PR will intro you and help manage the relationship (do you really want to be dealing with emails which are about regional pricing, release dates and getting review product over there in the next 30mins for a photoshoot?) - Until a journalist knows you, your company may not spring to mind for every feature. Your [super] PR will watch for these opps and sell you in to them (Obviously this is what what a good PR or agency will do, like any industry there are people who are great at their jobs and people who aren’t, you have to find a good one)” - A good PR/Marketing agency will fit with your business plan and get you heard in the areas you need to make the most impact at the right times !” - Not going to take this one too seriously as I think it’s mainly for comic value. Some sponsorships can be a waste of time for sure but brand exposure is just *one step* as part of a strategic campaign to get your company out there to your audience If you’re a start-up looking at PR I recommend: - Make sure the timing’s right - Product refined, de-bugged etc? - Able to talk about product/or service (you’d be amazing how many start-ups tell PRs about products which are coming in the future but they can’t talk about publicly yet, kinda ties our hands) - A willing spokesperson – we need your time and we need you to have something to say - Don’t necessarily go for big agency glamour - If you’re a start-up you probably don’t have enough money to afford them. Look at smaller, specialist agencies or a freelance consultant - Work *with* your PR - Be open and honest re: product/service information, even the bad stuff, especially the bad stuff, then they can do the best job with reputation management - Setting them up to “prove” PR can work is not a useful – they do have a job to prove ROI to you but constant doubt in what they do is de-motivating - Make effective use of their time - As above, don’t focus too much of their time on reporting and conference calls when they could be on the phone talking to press about your company - Be willing to test what works - Don’t be afraid to say “that ain’t working, let’s change direction and try something else” instead of “but you promised to deliver X in Y publication!” – of course, expect them to deliver *something* useful - Ask for client testimonials - Many agencies/freelance practitioners are happy to offer testimonials or even let you talk to their clients direct, take advantage of that (LinkedIn is great for this too) - Ask the right questions, what works for one brand may not work for you, see if they have worked with other start-ups that found value out of their work On a final note, something which annoyed me about Andy’s Fox’s list was this comment: .” Comments like these just perpetuate the myth that only men are start-up entrepreneurs and their companies are full of tech geeks who struggle to socialise normally with women. It also forgets that many start-up receptionists (male and female) become integral to a company and take on extra duties as the company grows. It’s demeaning and stupid. Nuff said. 7 Comments so far <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <pre> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong> Nice writing style.

the rest of the weekend in NC August 21st, 2010 Despite the annoying, horrible traffic on the drive down there, we had a great time in North Carolina last weekend visiting Troy’s sister and her family. We jumped on the trampoline, we swam in the hotel pool, we relaxed and ate grapes and popsicles and cookies and pizza and Mexican food. Some of us performed in aquatic-mammal shows. Annalie would ride Troy’s back across the pool, then tell him “If you do a good job, I’ll give you a tasty fish!” Then she’d pat his head and tell him he was a good dolphin. It was hilarious. Poor Bretty wasn’t feeling great on Saturday, and Dana ended up taking him to urgent care for what turned out to be swimmer’s ear. I wasn’t surprised because Brett is a regular fish and would spend all day in the water if he could. Leo and Annalie had a good time in the pool, at least once everyone had assured Leo that he didn’t have to go in the deep end if he didn’t want to. They had some elaborate game going on that involved going back and forth from the pool to the hot tub, doing a countdown each time. It was fun to watch. Basically, Annalie had a blast hanging out with her cousins. We said good-bye on Sunday night, and on Monday morning we got back in the minivan and headed for Virginia, where we would eat the world’s best hummus, climb to the top of a lighthouse, hit the beach, and meet a god and live to tell the tale… Sounds like a great time! My siblings and I would play a game similar to the on Annalie and her cousins played at the pool; We would go back and forth from the hot tub to the pool because we liked how extra cold the pool felt and how extra hot the hot tub felt when we got back in :) Troy is such a good dolphin. Looks like fun! My kids don’t think it’s fair that Annalie has her own personal dolphin and they don’t – they plan on rectifying that with their Daddy. Corey wants to tell Troy “Thanks so much for that”. haha :) Bwa ha ha! That’s like Isabelle and Alan. Or I should say Isabelle and her horsey.

Out-Law Analysis France Telecom: lessons for UK employers following 'institutional harassment' ruling Out-Law News DAC 6: UK final regulations for disclosure of cross border tax arrangements Out-Law News | 24 Jan 2014 | 9:46 am | 3 min. read." The announcement was widely expected following press reports last week. The Government set out its proposals for capping AMCs on pension schemes used for automatic enrolment in October. It included three proposals for a charge cap: 0.75% or 1% in all cases, the latter reflecting the cap that applies to charges on stakeholder schemes; or a standard cap of 0.75% which could be increased to 1% if the employer could justify the need for higher charges to the Pensions Regulator. The cap as proposed would have initially applied to employers who started auto-enrolment from April 2014; and would then have been extended to those who started auto-enrolment earlier. The plans have been championed by Webb despite opposition from parts of the pensions industry, as well as the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) in its own investigation into the defined contribution (DC) pensions market. In its final report, the consumer protection regulator decided against recommending the introduction of a cap on scheme charges for a number of reasons, including the "unintended consequences" of setting a cap too high or too low. It has instead ordered an audit of older schemes and those with higher charges by the Association of British Insurers. Pensions expert Simon Tyler of Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out-Law.com, said that the announcement showed that the Government had "realised the importance of timing" in setting a cap. "A very large number of small and medium-sized businesses have already reached decisions about the schemes they are due to set up this year," he said. "If the Government had imposed a cap this April, some of their plans would be thrown into disarray. That sort of disruption would not have helped to ensure a successful start to auto-enrolment for those businesses." "And setting a cap at the right level is tricky. If the cap is too high, pension savers won't be protected - and actual experience or fear of high charges can put savers off pensions for life. But a low cap risks forcing providers to cut back on quality of service and superior investment performance, which come at a price. There is still plenty of work to be done to work out what an appropriate cap should be," he said. Meanwhile, the Financial Times has claimed that the Government is also investigating ways to tackle the poor value annuity deals offered to those with small pension pots on retirement. Webb told the paper that this was something that he was looking at after it published analysis showing that those with less than £10,000 saved in a pension were offered very low rates when purchasing an annuity, meaning that they had little chance of living long enough to recoup their initial investment. "The problem here is that the administration costs involved in dealing with small pots may not be any less than those for larger pots," pensions expert Simon Tyler said. "Offering better value to those with small pots could come at a cost – to be met by those with larger pots - and increasing the cost of annuities for those with larger pots won't help the Government in its aim to encourage more pensions saving." "This is quite a conundrum. Solutions might include the Government itself providing small annuities, or steps to encourage more competition in the small annuities market. There is likely now to be considerable debate about what is feasible and cost effective," he said.
