Hollifield Selected To Become PNC Professor Of Finance At Carnegie Mellon
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Burton Hollifield, a professor of financial economics at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business, has been chosen as the first recipient of the PNC Professorship in Finance. The newly created faculty chair has been made possible through an endowment by the PNC Foundation to recognize excellence in teaching and sustained achievements in developing impactful research for the financial community.
Professor Hollifield joined the faculty at Carnegie Mellon in 1998 and has become highly regarded as a teacher in finance and investments, and as researcher on a wide range of topics impacting world markets and financial institutions. His recent research has examined the term-structure of interest rates, the mortgage market and trading in over-the-counter financial markets.
"Our efforts in community and economic development often center on innovations in finance," said Eva Blum, chair and president of the PNC Foundation. "We are fortunate to have a faculty member of Professor Hollifield's caliber to assume this chair."
"I've co-authored papers with professor Hollifield on several occasions," said Richard Green, senior associate dean of faculty and research. "He approaches financial markets and financial decision-making with an intense intellectual curiosity and wide-ranging expertise. This has led him to many remarkable findings in his research. The same factors inform his teaching. This new role, which he will begin immediately, gives him the opportunity to continue and expand the scope of this work."Hollifield received the 2009 George Leland Bach Teaching Award by the Tepper School's graduating MBA class, and the Tepper School's 2007 Business Teaching Award, bestowed by the school's undergraduate teaching program. He served as an assistant professor of finance at the University of British Columbia from 1991 to 1998. He received his master's degree and Ph.D. in financial economics at Carnegie Mellon in 1989 and 1992, respectively. In 1987, he completed a master's degree in economics from the Queens University at Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He also holds a bachelor's degree in information systems from the University of Calgary, which he completed in 1984. About the PNC Foundation:The PNC Foundation, which receives its principal funding from The PNC Financial Services Group ( www.pnc.com), actively supports organizations that provide services for the benefit of communities in which it has a significant presence.

SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS The saying: "Timing is everything," has a new meaning for Bob Russell.
During a sleepless night last month, Russell hopped out of bed, fired up his computer and began surfing the web.
Browsing eBay that night led to the recovery of his 1967 Austin Healey, a sports car that was stolen more than 40 years ago.
"I used to always look at Austin Healeys parked on the side of the road," Russell said. "Every once in a while, I'd search the Internet. I knew finding it would be impossible."
During his May 11 search, Russell said, he could not believe it when he saw his car listed for auction. He said he knew it was his because he had memorized the vehicle identification number.
"At first I wondered if my eyes were functioning," he said. "I'm still trying to come down from the adrenalin rush."
Russell said the car listed for auction was missing the VIN plate, had a broken lock on the glove box and was missing the trunk lock, obvious signs of a stolen car.
Because eBay requires the seller to list contact information, Russell was able to call the car dealer in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Russell also went to the dealer's website, where he saw the car listed for sale.
"You are trying to sell a stolen car," he said he told the dealer.
In response, he was told the dealer had bought the car from a man who said he had owned it since 1970.
The official said the man presented official documents when he offered the car for sale.
Russell called the local police, but says he was told they couldn't help so he continued talking with the dealer, mostly haggling over the buyback price.
After six weeks of phone calls, faxing documents, buyback discussions and conversations with the car dealer's lawyer, Russell's Austin Healey was delivered to his home Saturday.
"Our first date was in that car," said Cynthia Russell, Russell's wife. "I liked him; he was cute. But I loved the car!"
The Russells were graduate students attending Temple University in Philadelphia and living in the same apartment complex when the car was stolen. It was after their second date.
"We got home late, his usual spot was taken, so he parked somewhere else," Cynthia Russell said.
When he went to get the car the next morning, it was gone.
"I got a sick feeling in my stomach," he said. "We called the police and filed a report … For whatever reason during the past 40 years, I kept the original title and the keys, but had thrown the police report away."
Getting a copy of the report was difficult because in 1975 all reports were purged, Russell said. He eventually obtained an archived copy of the report through the National Crime Information Center, then called the Philadelphia Police Department for help.
Detectives in Philadelphia reactivated the stolen car report and contacted the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The car was impounded June 14.
The Russells went to California and took ownership June 18.
Bob Russell said he is very excited to have the car back, but he has mixed feelings about it.
"When it was stolen it was pristine; now it's going to need a lot of work." he said.
"On the other hand, it's been more than 40 years. It's very gratifying to get it back."
Russell said he originally paid $2,000 US for the car, which had about 33,000 miles on it when it was stolen.
Now the odometer reads 42,000 miles, and in its current condition it is worth between $20,000 and $30,000.
"When it's fixed up, it will be worth $50,000," he said.
Despite needing work, he said, the car is in relatively good shape, and he is thrilled he didn't have to buy it back.
Cynthia Russell said costs to get the car home were around $2,000 for towing, impound and shipping charges.
"That's what the car was worth when we lost it, so actually, we did buy it back," she said.

24 Jan 2013 Accountancy Age
By Kevin Reed
ANOTHER FIRM has made a foray into London's burgeoning Tech City, with Beever and Struthers bringing City firm The Company Books (TCB) into the fold.
Beever's merger with the specialist media, digital and technology firm will create a 30-manned London office. Beever and TCB will set up in Bunhill Row, EC1. TCB already has more than 100 clients in the locality.
The merger allows Beever to cross-sell its core accounting and finance services to TCB's existing client base, and vice versa. Other firms, including Blick Rothenberg and KPMG, have set up operations in the area to capitalise on the growing market.
Phil Roberts, managing partner of Manchester-based Beever and Struthers, said: "The integration of our staff with their TCB colleagues at Bunhill Row puts us at the very heart of the action in Tech City. It's a truly collaborative effort, with TCB staff already working on certain Beever and Struthers' clients and our staff set to start working on certain clients of TCB.
"Recent research has shown that sectors including financial services and digital, media and technology will be the drivers of economic growth and this merger gives us the chance to be a key player in helping to deliver that growth."
Tech City, also known as Silicon Roundabout, is the name to describe the Old Street and Shoreditch area of London, which has seen an explosion of entrepreneurial digital, technology and creative companies.

Great boots...
By: Wanda
I brought this item about 5 months ago, an I must admit that this is the first pair of boots that I have brought that I didn't have to break in, in order to get a good fit, they didn't hurt my ankles or to top side of my feet. I would purchase more items like this in the future, and not to mention the price was right up my alley way.....

Media Release: GRNP's Tsitsikamma Section Rangers receive Hi-Tec footwear
Date: 2011-06-20
The Tsitsikamma Section attracts a large number of local and foreign tourists, making it the third most frequently visited of the 19 National Parks in South Africa. In addition to welcoming day and overnight visitors to its Tsitsikamma and Nature's Valley Rest Camps, where a variety of outdoor activities are offered, GRNP rangers also run two poverty-relief programmes for communities in the region. Invasive plants are cleared through the Working for Water initiative, while Coasts Care teaches coastal conservation and sustainable subsistence living.
Employed to protect the Park's fauna, flora, cultural heritage sites and visitors, the rangers are on foot every day. They walk, on average, six to eight kilometres daily; their patrols may cover double this distance too. The scenic trails thoughout the Park are rocky, with many stream crossings. And, the rangers are out and about regardless of the weather conditions.
"The rangers are chuffed to receive these Hi-Tec shoes," says Owen Govender, Tsitsikamma's Senior Section Ranger. "They're light and comfortable and the soles offer good grip on rocks."
From implementing the Tsitsikamma Section's conservation initiatives to patrolling trails and interacting with visitors, Park rangers spend all day on their feet. "Appropriate and comfortable footwear makes all the difference to the rangers," says Ian Little, Hi-Tec's marketing manager. "A ranger with unsuitable shoes and sore feet just cannot do their job properly."
Hi-Tec first donated shoes to the Tsitsikamma rangers in 2009, maintaining a relationship where rangers could purchase appropriate footwear directly from Hi-Tec. Govender says that before Hi-Tec got involved with the Park, the rangers were wearing safety-style shoes, which are heavy and unsuited to the terrain. It was not uncommon for rangers to suffer from blisters.
Tsitsikamma is a Khoisan word meaning 'place of much water'. Govender adds that these boots, with Hi-Tec's Tec-Proof waterproof technology, are suited to the environment of the reserve with its many streams and year-round rainfall.
While in the Park for the handover, Little met with Govender and Tsitsikamma representatives to discuss and review the reserve's trail markers. "In 2009 we sponsored and installed trail markers in the Golden Gate National Park in the Free State. Many of the original markers were faded, broken or missing. The new signage has made a marked different to Golden Gate's visitors and we are looking at the same benefit to the Tsitsikamma Section of the Garden Route National Park."

text: This week I had someone (a friend) tell me he was TERMINATING our relationship, terminating was a very powerful and hurtful word in this circumstance. So I did something even worse, I used another powerful hurtful word, now thinking back, I feel horrible. He hurt me with his words, and I in turn did the same, as a Christian I should have known better. Why is it that words can sometimes hurt more than a smack in the face. Words are lasting, they don't linger away like the pain of a smack, they stay in your head and in your heart sometimes forever, furthermore can it be made right, can those words ever be unspoken. Ironically kind words are more often soon forgotten, where as unkind harsh words remain engraved in our memories, and are often brought back up in the worst situations, anyway this is not a blog to invoke any real inspiration, basically I am rattling on about my feelings and the power of words.

Lake Shore Drive plans aim for big-picture, not patchwork approach
BY TINA SFONDELES Staff Reporter May 30, 2014 7:10PM
A motorcycle passes through the North Avenue Bridge underpass at Lake Shore Drive where concrete fell off the bridge and onto the road. Sun Times library
Updated: July 2, 2014 6:03AM
Daniel Burnham envisioned a "quiet" Lake Shore Drive.
But the 15-mile plus stretch of road, bike and pedestrian paths is far from hushed some 100 years later.
North Lake Shore Drive carries as many as 970 CTA buses with 69,000 passengers a day, in addition to the 160,000 cars that pass through daily. And the Lakefront Trail, an often dangerous place during rush hour and weekends, is used by as many as 31,000 people daily on peak summer days.
Many of Lake Shore Drive's pedestrian tunnels and bridges, used to get walkers and cyclists to the lakefront path, were built in 1930 and meant to last just 30 years. Nine of them, including the Oak Street and North Avenue overpasses, are considered "functionally obsolete." The crumbling infrastructure is 54 years past its expiration date.
But a study by the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Chicago Department of Transportation and the Chicago Park District, to be completed in 2018, has started to address an overhaul of the seven-mile stretch of North Lake Shore Drive. Part of the "Redefine the Drive" study was released in March and seeks to focus on a long-term plan to revitalize many of the dilapidated and unsafe areas of the drive. And now is the time for the public — those who walk, run, bike or drive Lake Shore Drive and its paths — to make their voices heard.
Through a mapping application on northlakeshoredrive.org, users can pinpoint problem areas and write comments. Project leaders will comb through those suggestions to come up with a final plan. There is no deadline listed for comments, and there will be a public meeting at some point this year, according to the website.
Nothing is set in stone. The study is just the start of proposed plans that depend on federal money and other funding.
Chrissy Mancini Nichols, director of the Metropolitan Planning Council, and her group comprise a coalition of 15 organizations, including the state and city transportation departments, which created the vision for the study. The 22-page study focuses on dangerous areas of the drive, including ramps and stretches that have the most crashes, as well as the roadway's worst bottlenecks.
But Nichols says some issues need a bit more attention, like creating safer rides for bicyclists and pedestrians, and creating more green space. She also recommends looking into a bus-only lane.
"Certainly the 'S' curve [at Oak Street], the road has reached the end of its useful life. There are a lot of safety issues. I think IDOT may look at extending the seawall out 100 feet. But if they can extend it 300 feet, they could have more parkland and still have enough land for the drive," Nichols said.
Nichols said she and her organization are concerned the plan may place too much emphasis on the road instead of the trail and green park area.
"We actually have concern because it was very focused on automobiles and only had a couple of transit and park and trail user information. So we asked them if they could look at things like measuring the increase in transit ridership and using that as a measurement to build whatever they can," Nichols said. "We're supposed to double transit ridership by 2040, so any project should be aimed at doing that."
Metropolitan Planning Council projections show a 20 percent increase in transit ridership and a 19 percent bump in trail users, but just a 4 percent increase in vehicle traffic.
"Daniel Burnham said it should be a boulevard within a park. We have gotten way away from that. Right now it's like a highway."
'He envisioned something much quieter'
Transportation groups and planners cite the famed architect and planner often in plans. But what would Burnham think of today's Lake Shore Drive?
Burnham didn't have a lakefront drive in the plan when he created Lake Shore Drive, according to Chicago History Museum archivist Peter Alter. Between 1900 and 1905 it was a just a carriage-way at the lake's edge. Chicagoans took leisure walks or rode in carriages along the shore.
"He did not have in mind a bustling thoroughfare the way it is today. That's not in keeping with his 1909 plan," Alter said. "That's not to say he wanted Chicago to be a quiet place. That's not the case. He thought of Congress [Parkway] being a main thoroughfare, a traffic highway that eventually became the Eisenhower Expressway. But he didn't have the same vision for what we call Lake Shore Drive."
Burnham envisioned a quiet stretch of road to enjoy the water, the beaches and nature, Alter said, "not a way to get from 79th Street to Howard."
'Lake Shore Island'
Not all Chicagoans are awaiting a grand plan to get the wheels rolling on a revitalized Lake Shore Drive.
Mike Toolis, CEO of architectural design firm VOA Associates Inc., along with Streeterville community members have created their own design to correct the Oak Street 'S' Curve and its surrounding areas.
Toolis and the group, the Prepared for Lakeshore Improvement Committee, created a plan about seven years ago, and it's gaining some steam now, he said.
The most dramatic part of the plan includes "relaxing" the 'S' curve by submerging Lake Shore Drive and extending green space to Lake Michigan. It would also create a breakwater island across from Oak Street Beach to tide the waves. This would in turn create more of a beach at Oak Street Beach. In total, it would add 1.2 miles of additional shoreline and 60 acres of parkland.
Toolis, too, cites Burnham's plan as inspiration.
"If you look at one of the first drawings of Lake Shore Drive, you can see all of these little islands that he was proposing. It also had a lot of green space along the water's edge. It was really that piece that we were trying to pick up — just the island and more green space," Toolis said.
Toolis said he was asked last week by IDOT to submit the plan formally for consideration.
"It's too early to worry about the money. This has to go through a long process, but if we can get parts of this plan going, we'll be very happy. And I think people will stretch to try and make this happen."

Apple Store Hamburg nears opening day
I didn't get a chance to swing by the site of the upcoming Jungfernsteig Apple Store when I was in Hamburg this week, but the guys at case manufacturer Alkr did (no surprise, it's their home town). The store is featuring giant red window panels and is said to be getting close to readiness for its first customers.
The center sign translates as "We (will be) pleased to greet you here soon." Seems pretty straightforward, no? The larger side signs say 'Moin,' which is a slang form of 'Hello' that's commonly used in parts of Northern Germany.
Keep an eye out for more details & schedule on the store opening.
Thanks Jürgen!

Because Steven Green, owner of 72 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning, is so concerned with customer safety and satisfaction, all of the company's technicians carry not only the Technician Seal of Safety—which denotes high industry standards in background checks, drug testing, and training—but also NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certifications. These technicians arrive at homes to perform repairs or preventative maintenance on indoor heating and cooling systems, ensuring that harsh weather never bothers homeowners unless they like to bathe in the yard. They've done plenty right so far—the technicians, who are also factory trained and certified in the use of infrared-camera inspection systems, earned four Angie's List Super Service Awards between 2009 and 2010.
Bull Mountain owner Jack Hansen has stayed true to a simple principle in his 45 years in the HVAC industry—make things as easy as possible on the customer. In fact, he often attempts to talk customers through simple fixes of their heating or cooling problems over the phone before sending out a technician. Since Hansen understands that homeowners may not always keep detailed records of their home-maintenance histories, he directs his staff to perform a diagnostic program with more than a dozen points during every service call. But Jack sees the bigger picture, too. To reduce energy costs and help the environment, he has aligned himself with Energy Star, a government program designed to promote energy-efficient practices and prevent local utility companies from turning off the stars.
Home Heating & Air Conditioning Systems Contractor: Installation, Repair, Service. Natural Gas Furnace installation. Convert home-heating oil to natural gas. Tankless Hot Water Heater licensed installation. Since 1977!
Roth Heating & Cooling's team of skilled technicians tidy up and refine climate-control systems, performing cosmetic as well as mechanical services intended to promote peak performance. A precision tune-up includes a cleaning and adjusting of the blower components, plus a cleaning of any condenser and evaporator coils. Keen eyes will then scrutinize the heat exchanger, burners, and condensate drains, confiscating any dirt-based contraband found along the away. Moving parts will be lubricated and all electrical connections will be tightened before standard filters are cleaned or replaced. Afterward, staff will check thermostat operation, measure amp draws, calculate temperature drop across the coil or furnace, and compile this data into a haiku written in binary code. Finally, the safeties receive a thorough testing and nimble hands clean the equipment cabinets inside and out before Roth's team vanishes into thin air.
The seasoned technicians at Oregon Install Company call upon their more than seven decades of combined experiences to complete detailed, efficient installations of home entertainment equipment. In addition to wall-mounts for televisions, computer installation, and speaker work, the team also programs remote controls, installs furniture, and peels off any really sticky labels. The friendly and respectful techs also specialize in solving tricky electronics problems, and are confident that they can overcome any installation obstacle, no matter how big or how wirey.
American Fresh Air has been in business for five years, but the owner brings more than 14 years of industry experience to his venture. He conducts frequent in-house trainings for his technicians to keep them up-to-date on the newest methods and technologies.
While they specialize in cleaning air ducts, the air-quality experts at American Fresh Air also offer several preventive services. They can install germicidal UV lights and electrostatic air filters, which work continuously to clear the air of dust, mold, and juicy rumors.

Virtual Office Mobile 4.0 allows our employees to bring the voice, video and PBX benefits of 8x8's cloud-based Virtual Office suite to their Android devices. Thanks to 8x8, our team can be mobile yet still be connected to voice, fax and voicemails."

run down, limited breakfast
The price. We needed a clean bed to crash in overnight. Clean sheets, dried in the sun on the clothesline. Even though the sheets and pillowcases were very thin...
Being in one of the old rooms that was like an oven when we opened the door. We closed the doors off to the bedroom and turned the air conditioner on. By the time we came back from dinner the bedroom was cooling off.
The size and layout of the bathroom and room are fine. The overall appearance of the hotel is quite nice and comfortable. The great care personnel . The very well equipped kitchen with everything necessary .
The beds are overdue , produce noise and give the impression to be falling. They should change the bedding daily, improve the wi-fi and have transportation available to guests at all times since the hotel is well away from the center and beaches.
I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff.
For the continental breakfast I wish the food was more Aruban/Caribbean in nature than American. I can get an American breakfast here at home.
Comparably cheap, decent location
breakfast starts at 8:30, if you are lucky, 8:40 or later otherwise. Manger open theoretically at 8:30, but did not show when I left at 9:15. WiFi very weak in my room, good at the pool. Breakfast service could use a course in service.
The comfort, really quite and peaceful. Breakfast was delicious. The staff very courteous, helpful and always have a smile on their face.
Nice hotel good for the money.
No piping hot water for the shower.
Nice staff Pool was good .The breakfast was good . The room was comfortable. The price was excellent a great value It's very close to shopping Restaurants 5 minutes to the beach
Our room was one room facing the street. The other rooms have a porch and face the pool . Next time we will get one of those . It was our choice we didn't know
The free breakfast was incredible and the atmosphere was great!
Convenient location if you know the island and if you rent a car, Maid service every day Friendly staff Convenient to supermarkets
A few things need to be fixed in the unit. The AC in the kitchen was not working but management is replacing it. They could have let me know upon arrival.
Everything was super. I will go back. I have enjoined my stay. Great place, facility and location.
first and foremost i really appreciated the of accomodating me and their willingness to wait for my late arrival.
Good breakfast, friendly staff, clean sheets
Funky smell in room, every thing felt old.
Staff was friendly. At walking distance from a bank ATM, chinese minimarket, gas station, hardware store and some restaurants. Close enough to Palm Beach and it's surrounding malls.
Breakfast was extremely basic, with just an option of white bread, cheese, processed meat, scrambled eggs and sausages and just 1 pancake or arepa per person. As a vegetarian, vegan or someone who likes to eat healthier whole grain and or non-gmo food, you can forget it. Internet reception was very bad and unreliable, even when sat on a bench outside the reception area, the signal would not always be good or available. The fridge and kitchen had seen better days. For the amount of money I spent, I expected something better, especially considering I could have booked a B&B for almost half the price.
Fairly cheap prices, but you get what you pay for! Had a swimming pool and breakfast, but neither was anything special.
Located 20 minutes walking distance from the beach and high rise hotel area, not somewhere I felt comfortable walking after dusk. Rooms were outdated and not very nice, plastic furniture in the rooms was surprising to see.
The rooms were cleaned regularly. Were able to negotiate with the man at the reception a change of rooms after unsatisfaction with the first one. Diversity of tourists; Canadians, US Americans, Latinos, French, Yugoslavs, Dutch, Spaniards, Quebecois, etc.
The hotel is actually a 25/30 minute walk from the beach. A great portion of that path has no lights at night so you're walking thru pitch black beside a road (there are no sideways) where people drive crazily and wild dogs might come running after you. The first room had an ant infestation.
I like the place and the place is very clean. And The frontdesk was excellent in person Niurka Fernandez Thanks. Thanks for the service.. And Booking .com is the best. Thanks, Coconut Inn kampion
no item
Coconut Inn was a great place to stay in Aruba for the money. The staff was very helpful. We will stay there again when we return!!
Do the math, with 17% tax is not the cheapest. Rented with kitchen, broken cutting knife that refused to change, no items to do the dishes, told me to buy them, like i love to travel with that. Wouldn't recommend it. Included breakfast had many "friendly" posters in the wall, like 1 portion per person and so. Also broken toaster (just toasts 1 side of the bread), I guess they can't afford a new one.
Love the Friendlyness of everyone. Location was great. Loved the peace and relaxation of the Inn. Very laid back and truly Island style.
The small Bathroom with no hot or warm water.
Quiet, cleaning staff really friendly.
Breakfast wasn't available until 8:30 am. Office was often closed/no one answered phone when I needed help.
Breakfast(arepas, pankakes,etc) Near to faboulous beaches y restaurants. Kitchen personal.
No public transport to the beach avenue or area.
Friendly & helpful staff cleanliness breakfast sun terrace & pool value for price
no grocery close by outdated furnishings in older units
Very nice/helpful front desk staff.
There was no hot water. Stingy on the breakfast portions.

What is HIV?
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It is the virus that leads to AIDS. HIV is a form of retrovirus. There is usually a long interval between the initial infection and the onset of symptoms.
When you are infected with the virus, you are referred to as HIV positive. The infection enters the bloodstream through mucous membranes or blood-to-blood contact. Today, there are a number of treatment options available to people with AIDS. One treatment is zidovudine, or AZT. Zidovudine can affect the bone marrow and cause anemia.

Well worth the money!
We bought a six-day pass, including an Underground pass, and used it every day we were in London. In fact, I calculated that we would have spent more on getting into places and using the Tube, than the pass cost. The pass book, listing where it could be used, was invaluable and pointed us to places, like Benjamin Franklin's home, we wouldn't have visited otherwise. I'll get a London pass again, next time I visit!

In web development, a polyfill (or polyfiller) is downloadable code which provides facilities that are not built into a web browser. It implements technology that a developer expects the browser to provide natively, providing a more uniform API landscape. For example, many features of HTML5 are not supported by versions of Internet Explorer older than version 8 or 9, but can be used by web pages if those pages install a polyfill.[1] Web shims[2] and HTML5 shivs are related concepts.
Sharp decided upon the term polyfill that can imply filling in missing browser functionality and using any number of techniques (poly can mean "many" in Greek). Polyfilla, a paste used to cover up cracks and holes in walls, was also a visualization that Sharp found fitting for the term. He has received feedback stating that the "word should be changed", but the term has now grown more popular amongst web developers. Sharp intentionally did not promote the term widely, only using it in specific cases and believes that it received a large amount of exposure after Paul Irish directly referenced the term in a presentation months after its inception and was helped become popular due to Modernizr's "HTML5 shims & polyfill" page. Though the term was coined in 2009, the concept predates the coinage, with server side UI component technologies such as JavaServer Faces offering polyfill capabilities since 2004.
Polyfill differs from a shim, in that it can be removed without any changes to the rest of the code once the un-implemented API it substitutes for is properly included in the browser.
List of known polyfills[edit]
In IE versions prior to 9, unknown HTML elements like
<section> and
<nav> would be parsed as empty elements, breaking the page's nesting structure and making those elements impossible to style using CSS. One of the most widely used polyfills, html5shiv exploits another quirk of IE to work around this bug: calling
document.createElement("tagname") for each of the new HTML5 elements, which causes IE to parse them correctly. It also includes basic default styling for those HTML5 elements.
<!--[if lt IE 9]> <script src="path/to/html5shiv.js"></script> <![endif]-->
Though most polyfills target out-of-date browsers, some exist to simply push modern browsers forward a little bit more. Lea Verou's -prefix-free polyfill is such a polyfill, allowing current browsers to recognise the unprefixed versions of several CSS3 properties instead of requiring the developer to write out all the vendor prefixes. It reads the page's stylesheets and replaces any unprefixed properties with their prefixed counterparts recognised by the current browser.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/styles.css"> <script src="/path/to/prefixfree.min.js"></script>
Keith Clark's Selectivizr is a popular polyfill that makes many CSS3 selectors work in IE 8 and below. It reads the page's stylesheets looking for a number of known CSS3 selectors, then uses a JavaScript selector library to query the document for elements matching those selectors, applying the styles directly to those elements. It supports several JavaScript selector libraries such as jQuery.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/jquery.min.js"></script> <!--[if (gte IE 6)&(lte IE 8)]> <script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/selectivizr-min.js"></script> <noscript><link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/fallback-styles.css" /></noscript> <![endif]-->
Possibly one of the most anticipated features of CSS3, Flexible Box Layout (a.k.a. Flexbox) promises to be an extremely powerful tool for laying out interface elements. WebKit and Mozilla engines have supported a preliminary draft syntax for years. Flexie implements support for that same syntax in IE and Opera.
However, the draft spec has undergone a drastic revision to a new (and much more powerful) syntax, which is not yet supported by Flexie. Flexie can still be used along with the old syntax, but the developer must make sure they include the new syntax for future browsers as well.
<script src="/path/to/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="/path/to/flexie.min.js"></script>
CSS3 PIE[edit]
PIE ("Progressive Internet Explorer") implements some of the most popular missing CSS3 box decoration properties in IE, including border-radius and box-shadow for IE 8 and below, and linear-gradient backgrounds for IE 9 and below. Invoked as a HTC behavior (a proprietary IE feature), it looks for the unsupported CSS3 properties on specific elements and renders those properties using VML for IE 6-8 and SVG for IE 9. Its rendering is mostly indistinguishable from native browser implementations and it handles dynamic DOM modification well.
.box { border-radius: 8px 8px 0 0; box-shadow: #666 0px 2px 3px; behavior: url(/path/to/PIE.htc); }
JSON 2[edit]
Douglas Crockford originally wrote json2.js as an API for reading and writing his (then up-and-coming) JSON data format. It became so widely used that browser vendors decided to implement its API natively and turn it into a "de facto" standard; json2.js was transformed from a library to a polyfill after the fact.
<script> if (!window.JSON) { document.write('<script src="path/to/json2.js"><\/script>'); } </script>
ECMAScript 5th Edition ("ES5") brings some useful new scripting features, and since they're syntactically compatible with older JavaScript engines they can mostly be polyfilled by patching methods onto built-in JS objects. This es5-shim polyfill does it in two parts: es5-shim.js contains those methods that can be fully polyfilled, and es5-sham.js contains partial implementations of the other methods which rely too much on the underlying engine to work accurately.
<script src="/path/to/es5-shim.min.js"></script>
FlashCanvas is an implementation of the HTML5 Canvas API using a Flash plug-in. A rare commercial polyfill, it comes in a paid version, as well as a free version, which lacks a few advanced features like shadows.
<!--[if lt IE 9]> <script src="/path/to/flashcanvas.js"></script> <![endif]-->
John Dyer's MediaElement.js polyfills support for <video> and <audio> elements, including the HTML5 MediaElement API, in older browsers using Flash or Silverlight plug-ins. It also provides an optional media player UI for those elements, which is consistent across all browsers.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/mediaelementplayer.min.css"> <script src="/path/to/jquery.js"></script> <script src="/path/to/mediaelement-and-player.min.js"></script>
Webshims Lib[edit]
Alexander Farkas's Webshims Lib aggregates many other polyfills together into a single package and conditionally loads only those needed by the visiting browser.
<script src="/path/to/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="/path/to/js-webshim/minified/extras/modernizr-custom.js"></script> <script src="/path/to/js-webshim/minified/polyfiller.js"></script> <script> // Load all supported polyfills, if the browser needs them: $.webshims.polyfill(); </script>

Jobs, education, security top for Africans: poll
Addis Ababa, 6 August 2014 (WIC) - Africans see jobs, education and security as their biggest areas of concern, according to a poll conducted by ONE, the anti-poverty campaign co-founded by Bono and Bob Geldof.
The poll comes on the eve of 4 to 6 August 2014 African summit of nearly 50 African leaders hosted by US President Barack Obama in Washington where deals worth billions of dollars are expected to be announced.
The poll offers a snapshot of priorities for Africans and their attitudes towards the United States from nine countries from Benin and Rwanda to larger and more populous nations including Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Tanzania, and Tunisia.
While most of the 4,500 respondents believe that the United States has had some impact on their country and community, they think the world's richest nation has been slow coming to the party of an economically rising Africa.
The poll was conducted over a five-day period at the end of July surveying 500 people in each country, with the average age of respondent about 26.
The margin of error is plus or minus 5.
As Washington prepares to showcase its interest in Africa at the summit, most respondents believe the United States has had "some impact" on their country and community although not sure how supportive Obama had been.
Most respondents surveyed said the United States had "some impact" on their country and community.
In Rwanda, however, 62 per cent of respondents said the United States had a "big impact" on their country, as did 31 per cent in Tanzania, and 37 per cent in Uganda.
When it came to Obama's support, 55 per cent of respondents in Benin were not sure, as were 38 per cent in Ghana, 41 per cent in Rwanda, 47 per cent in South Africa and 48 per cent in Tunisia.
A large chunk of respondents, some 42 per cent, in Nigeria believed Obama had been "very" supportive and 49 per cent in Tunisia thought he had been somewhat supportive.
The poll measured attitudes towards governments and found that a vast majority believe their government had best addressed security issues, followed by education and corruption.
In Kenya, Nigeria and Tunisia, security was the biggest priority.
In Rwanda it was trade and jobs followed closely by education, security and health.
To respondents in South Africa, education and jobs were key areas of concern.
In Benin, 36 per cent of the people surveyed thought their government had best addressed agricultural and corruption issues.
Some 43 per cent of respondents in Kenya, 28 per cent in Tanzania, 34 per cent in Nigeria, and 81 per cent in Rwanda listed security as the area where their government had done a good job.
All respondents felt their governments needed to invest a lot more in agriculture. (theeastafrican.co.ke)

- Display and examine the Acadia National Park Quarter design. Locate this site on a class map. As background information, explain to the students that the United States Mint began to issue the quarters in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program in 2010. By the time the program ends in 2021, there will be a total of 56 designs on the back of the coin. Each design will focus on a different national site—one from each state, territory, and the District of Columbia.
- Focus on the region of Acadia and its historical development. In a class discussion, solicit any facts that students may already know about the area and people or anything that they are able to deduce from the geographical location or their study of American History.
- Divide the class into groups. Using the "Timeline of Acadian History" worksheet, have each group research and create a timeline of the history of Acadia concentrating on the main people, events, and trends in the development of this area (such as native population, French settlement, and fur trading).
- Explain to the students that there were no newspapers in this area during much of the settlement of North America, but they are going to pretend there were. Each group is the staff of The Frontier News, a newspaper that could have been distributed in early Acadia. Have each of the group members take on one of these roles: news, editorials, political cartoons, ads, and classified ads. Have them plan and execute the layout as a group and cover one event or period from their timeline.
- Have the groups present their multimedia presentations or printed versions to the entire class.
- Take anecdotal notes about the students' participation in class discussions.
- Evaluate the students' worksheets and projects for understanding of the lesson objectives.
This lesson plan is not associated with any Common Core Standards.
Discipline: Social Studies
Domain: All Thematic Standards
Cluster: Culture and Cultural Diversity

- guide learners as they predict how experiences may be interpreted by people from diverse cultural perspectives and frames of reference
- encourage learners to compare and analyze societal patterns for transmitting and preserving culture while adapting to environmental and social change
- enable learners to assess the importance of cultural unity and diversity within and across groups
- have learners interpret patterns of behavior as reflecting values and attitudes which contribute to or pose obstacles to cross-cultural understanding
- guide learners in constructing reasoned judgments about specific cultural responses to persistent human issues
- have learners explain and apply ideas, theories, and modes of inquiry drawn from anthropology and sociology in the examination of persistent issues and social problems
Discipline: Social Studies
Domain: All Thematic Standards
Cluster: Time, Continuity, and Change
Grade(s): Grades K–12

- guide learners in using such processes of critical historical inquiry to reconstruct and interpret the past, such as using a variety of sources and checking their credibility, validating and weighing evidence for claims, searching for causality, and distinguishing between events and developments that are significant and those that are inconsequential
- provide learners with opportunities to investigate, interpret, and analyze multiple historical and contemporary viewpoints within and across cultures related to important events, recurring dilemmas, and persistent issues, while employing empathy, skepticism, and critical judgment; and enable learners to apply ideas, theories, and modes of historical inquiry to analyze historical and contemporary developments, and to inform and evaluate actions concerning public policy issues.
Discipline: Social Studies
Domain: All Thematic Standards
Cluster: People, Places, and Environment
Grade(s): Grades K–12
Teachers should:
- Enable learners to use, interpret, and distinguish various representations of Earth such as maps, globes, and photographs, and to use appropriate geographic tools
- Encourage learners to construct, use, and refine maps and mental maps, calculate distance, scale, area, and density, and organize information about people, places, regions, and environments in a spatial context
- Help learners to locate, distinguish, and describe the relationships among varying regional and global patterns of physical systems such as landforms, climate, and natural resources, and explain changes in the physical systems
- Guide learners in exploring characteristics, distribution, and migration of human populations on Earth's surface

Welcome to Northern Utah's premier law firm. We aspire to be the hardest working, best educated and strongest advocates in every case we accept. Our philosophy is that every case is a story. Therefore, great lawyers need to be great storytellers.
empowering you through education and advocacy
Each case starts with telling us your story. We can Then analyze it with the law and educate you on a) Your options; and b) what you can reasonably expect To accomplish by selecting each option and why.
Knowledge truly is power. Once educated you are empowered to make informed choices on how to proceed.
Finally, you still need a "'voice"' to tell your story. Once you've selected educated goals then we proceed to advocate on your behalf by telling your story, applying the law and hopefully accomplishing your goals! We believe that once we've properly assessed your case, given you realistic expectations and you set realistic goals that we should simultaneously work on multiple levels toward a resolution. This includes actively seeking a negotiated settlement without delaying necessary litigation or trial if the opposing party is not willing to settle.
