|"Truly" Empty Vehicle Repositioning and Fleet-Sizing: Optimal Management of an Autonomous Taxi System in New Jersey on a Typical Weekday
|Douglas, Kyle
|Kornhauser, Alain
|Operations Research and Financial Engineering
|Class Year:
|Transportation is central to our everyday lives and exists to increase the utility of all. Since the turn of the twentieth century, innovators have drastically revolutionized the field. Yet still today, inefficiencies exist in our daily routines in terms of cost, safety, mobility, comfort, convenience, and environmental impact. Already, work has begun to analyze a potential system of autonomous taxis for the state of New Jersey from the perspective of local demand on a typical day. However, the practical issues of sizing a finite fleet of autonomous taxis and repositioning the vehicles to best meet stochastic and realized travel demand need to be addressed. As fully autonomous vehicles more closely approach mainstream use, the gravity of these issues magnifies significantly. This thesis first defines properties of a stochastic queueing network and outlines the significant characteristics of an autonomous taxi system for New Jersey with an infinite fleet of vehicles under different parameter sets. The understanding of ride sharing, vehicle departures, and vehicle arrivals in the infinite fleet case forms a necessary starting point for work on empty vehicle repositioning and fleet-sizing. The thesis outlines a series of naïve empty vehicle repositioning and fleet-sizing policies before providing a formal and detailed mathematical model for the empty vehicle repositioning problem specific to an autonomous taxi system. It then provides policies for empty vehicle repositioning and fleet-sizing based on the model. However, these policies share a high level of complexity and require extremely large dimensionality. The thesis follows up with a series of simpler, alternative policies that require more manageable levels of complexity, and presents some preliminary results on a small but populous subset of New Jersey. Finally, this thesis presents techniques for convenient data visualization through a detailed web application. Optimal management of even a small-scale autonomous taxi system on a typical day is extremely challenging. The massive, continuous data streams that come with a larger-scale system present further computational difficulties. Research never stops; I hope that this thesis serves as a foundation for further work of my own and of others. This is one small step among many larger ones. Together, we can make autonomous taxi systems a reality.

Memorial Tributes
"To the Friends and Family of Anthony,
Please accept my deepest sympathy. It is so unnatural and painful to lose someone in death at such a young age. But be assured that Jehovah God yearns to reunite children with their parents by means of the resurrection. In the account at Mark 5:40-42, Jesus lovingly demonstrated what his Father will do for us in the future when he resurrected a 12-year old girl and returned her to her parents. "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life" (John 5:28,29)"

BROOKLYN — A former city bookkeeper who oversaw funds left by people who died without a will was sentenced to up to 18 years in prison Thursday after being caught stealing $2.6 million from seven estates between 2008 and 2011, officials said.
Richard Paul, 36, who worked in the office of the Kings County Public Administrator, was convicted in November of forging a series of checks to reroute money from deceased Brooklyn residents' estates to bank accounts belonging to multiple accomplices, Department of Investigation officials said.
The money was supposed to be sent to the Department of Finance, which is responsible for holding the funds until heirs are identified, DOI officials said.
"This defendant used death as an opportunity to steal millions. Today's sentence shows such crime leads to prison," New York City Department of Investigation Commissioner Mark G. Peters said in a statement. "DOI traced the funds and unraveled this complex fraud scheme in partnership with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office."
The investigation started in December 2011 when head Brooklyn public administrator Bruce Stein discovered a forged check for about $650,000 drawn from one of the estates the office was managing.
Officials discovered that $2,617,000 had been stolen between Aug. 2008 and Nov. 2011.
Paul was aided by Taryn Miller, 35, of Brooklyn, who was also convicted for helping to facilitate the scheme, according to the DOI.
Miller's husband, George Bethea, 36, who pleaded guilty last summer, received $150,000 in stolen funds, according to a November statement by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
Ransel Sangster, 37, also pleaded guilty last summer to receiving two checks while he was working at the New York City Department of Homeless Services from Paul totaling nearly $600,000.
Paul was convicted on Nov. 13 for first degree grand larceny and defrauding the government.

Back, during a previous post, we talked about various issues with aquaponic systems. To expand on that topic we'd like to take a more intense look at the specifics on these various issues and others. We'll start with Aphids which can take reign in nearly any farm circumstance. As Sun-tzu would say - it's important to understand your enemy before taking battle. So, with that being said, let's take a closer look at the problem and see how to stop the encroachment before it happens and, if necessary, limit the damage when the issue arises.
Aphids are a worldwide insect that most gardeners should already be familiar with - some more than others. The majority of aphids are soft bodied and come in a variety of colors; green, black, brown, pink and nearly clear. Their body make up consists of several parts; antennae, stylets (for feeding), tail-like cauda, two compound eyes, and long, thin, two-jointed, two-clawed tarsi. They feed themselves by sucking through the mouthpart (stylet). In defense, aphids can release quick-hardening fluid that contains triacylglycerols called cornicle wax - pending on the exact species there may be other types of compounds.
Many aphids are monophagous, meaning that they feed only one particular type of plant, there are a few varieties that feed on hundreds of species of plants, though. Aphids passively feed on the sap of phloem vessels in plants; other scaled insects and cicadas do the same. In some circumstances they will feed on the xylem sap which has a much lower concentration of amino acids and sugars. Phloem carries nutrients to all parts of the plant so it's easy to understand how aphids can be extremely dangerous to growth and quality. Ironically, and surprisingly, aphids can't simply rely on this sap for their only nutrients largely because the diet is extremely unbalanced and lacks essential amino acids. To obtain these nutrients aphids rely on bacterial endosymbionts that live in special cells in their body. These bacteriocytes help to recycle glutamate and metabolic waste - transforming it into essential amino acids. A side effect of the aphids feeding and biological processes is the risk of plant disease transmission. Plants may show any of the following signs indicating that aphids are your problem; decreased growth rate, mottled or curled leaves, browning, wilting and even death.
School Garden Weekly has a few great tips on how to limit exposure to potential risk and even damage control if problem does arise.
Integrated Pest Management:
1) Plant Selection
A healthy plant is better able to withstand its environment than one that is stressed by improper fertilization, irrigation, or being planted out of season. Remember to plant cool-weather crops in the fall (in California) and warm weather crops in the spring.
Plant selection also includes the planting of specialized crops. Some plant varieties are more susceptible to pests than others. Choosing the right variety may be all that is necessary to ensure a healthy plant. For example tomatoes labeled with a VFN designation are better able to resist the diseases caused by Verticillium, Fusarium viruses and Nematodes (microscopic worms that feed on plant roots). This information will be readily available in most seed catalogs.
2) Physical Barriers
A good example of physical barrier is a fence. If deer or rabbits are a problem in your garden the area will need to be fenced. Bury the fence about one foot deep to keep burrowing animals out. If gophers are a problem you will need to place chicken wire below your raised bed. Floating row covers and bird netting are other examples of physical barriers.
3) Traps
Insect traps use pheromones, visual lures or food to attract pests and capture them. Pheromones are the substances female insects use to sexually attract males to them. Visual lures use colors and shapes to attract pests. A good example of a trap is the yellow sticky card that keeps whiteflies off your tomatoes. Aphids and white flies as well as other small flying insects are attracted to the yellow color and are then entrapped in the glue. They are not effective in a very large area but for a small school garden they are effective.
Another example of a trap is to lay a wooden board down in your pathway raised a few inches on one end to attract snails. They will try to hide there during the day. Simply turn the board over and remove the snails.
4) Biological Controls
Biological Controls rely on the use of living organisms called natural enemies or beneficials to eat or kill the pests. Two well-known beneficials are ladybugs and green lacewings.
Another biological control is BT (Bacillus thuringiensis), a microorganism that occurs naturally. It is very effective with worms and caterpillars that congregate on the underside of green leaves such as beets and chard as well as on the leaves of the entire Brassica family. BT is diluted with water and sprayed onto the underside of leaves.
5) Pesticides
Pesticides are used as a last resort. If you must use a pesticide, choose the least toxic yet most effective product that targets the pest but does not also kill natural enemies or is harmful to pets and other animals. Insecticidal soaps usually fit this bill. To learn more about pesticides see National Pesticide Information Center.

USC's quest for a third consecutive national title already includes victories over 11 opponents that probably considered a matchup against the top-ranked Trojans as their national-championship game.
LOS ANGELES — USC's quest for a third consecutive national title already includes victories over 11 opponents that probably considered a matchup against the top-ranked Trojans as their national-championship game.
USC survived every challenge and has moved one victory from clinching a spot in the Jan. 4 Rose Bowl, this season's Bowl Championship Series title game.
Standing in the way today is what could be USC's toughest opponent: 11th-ranked UCLA.
"We've faced everything thrown at us, everything you could imagine," USC quarterback Matt Leinart said. "But it's different when you play UCLA and they play us."
The 75th game between the rivals is among the most highly anticipated matchups in the history of the series. For the first time since 1988, the teams have a mere one loss between them. They feature dynamic offenses led by two of the nation's best quarterbacks, Leinart and Drew Olson, and two game-breaking running backs and kick-return specialists, USC's Reggie Bush and UCLA's Maurice Drew.
USC (11-0 overall, 7-0 Pac-10) riding a 33-game winning streak, has defeated UCLA six straight times. The Bruins would like nothing more than to end both streaks.
UCLA came close last season, losing 29-24 in a game that was not decided until the final minute.
"We know USC is a good team; I mean, their record speaks for itself," Bruins offensive lineman Shannon Tevaga said. "But we feel that we should have won last year."
USC players, not surprisingly, thought the score should not have been as close.
But the Trojans said this week that UCLA has proven it is a team to respect.
"They know how to win," USC safety Darnell Bing said. "You can't take a team like that lightly."
UCLA coach Karl Dorrell, a former Washington offensive coordinator, said, "Your program is what your program is in terms of its foundation. You can't make wholesale changes right now. That's not what has gotten us to this point. We're 9-1 and we feel pretty good about what we've done."
UCLA's offense has carried the load. The Bruins average 40 points a game, fifth nationally.
"You can try and shut down our run game, but then our passing game will just blaze you," said Drew, who averages 81.6 yards rushing a game.
Olson, a senior, ranks first nationally in passing efficiency. He has completed 68 percent of his attempts and has 30 touchdown passes with a mere three interceptions.
Olson will operate against a USC team that leads the nation in turnover margin. But the Trojans' defense looked shaky at times in comeback victories at Oregon, Arizona State and Notre Dame and surrendered 42 points against Fresno State two weeks ago.
Texas seeks Big 12 title
Texas coach Mack Brown is a big fan of Colorado coach Gary Barnett.
"There's no one that I would rather see win football games, other than against us, than Gary Barnett because of the job he's done at Colorado," Brown said. "All he's overcome the last few years, and now they're playing in the championship game three out of four years."
Texas (11-0, 8-0 Big 12) is a heavy favorite over Colorado (7-4, 5-3) in today's Big 12 title game in Houston. A win would send the Longhorns to the Rose Bowl to play for the national title. In the 2001 Big 12 title game in Irving, Texas, Colorado won and denied Texas a shot at the national championship.
"Anytime you're an underdog, especially as big as we are, you tend to fight a little bit harder," Buffs quarterback Joel Klatt said.
Friday night's game
Louisiana Tech 40, at No. 23 Fresno State 28
Matt Kubik threw three touchdown passes and Tech (7-4, 6-2 Western Athletic) capitalized on five turnovers to deny Fresno State (8-4, 6-2) a share of the WAC title. Boise State and Nevada are WAC co-champions.
• Calling the Bowl Championship Series "deeply flawed," the chairman of a congressional committee has called a hearing on the controversial system used to determine the national champion. NCAA Division I-A football does not have a playoff.
A House Energy and Commerce subcommittee, charged with regulating America's sports industry, announced it will conduct a hearing on the BCS on Wednesday, after this season's bowl matchups are determined.
"College football is not just an exhilarating sport, but a billion-dollar business that Congress cannot ignore," said committee chairman Joe Barton, a Texas Republican.

Not all hypertension is the same.
Hypertension in simple terms is high blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is generally said to be 100–140 mmHg (systolic) over 60–90 mmHg (diastolic). High blood pressure would be anything above 140/90 mmHg.
Hypertension is usually classified into primary (essential) and secondary hypertension. Essential hypertension refers to high blood pressure that doesn't have any other cause, so it is the primary problem. There are various factors that can cause, or contribute to this, including poor diet, certain vitamin deficiencies, hereditary factors, lifestyle issues and age.
Secondary hypertension means that the high blood pressure is being caused by an underlying, or other health problem. These could be temporary problems such as pregnancy, or they could be chronic long term such as obesity, kidney disease and thyroid problems. Amazingly, eating too much liquorice can also lead to hypertension.
So what is pre-hypertension?
Hypertension does not usually happen from one day to the next, it develops over a considerable number of years. The US National Joint Committee, therefore, proposed that a classification be created for patients whose blood pressure was above normal, but did not fall into the category of hypertension. Pre-hypertension is defined as a systolic pressure of between 120 and 139 mm Hg, over a diastolic pressure of between 80 and 89 mm Hg. Pre-hypertensive patients are an increasingly important group for research purposes as they can provide valuable information on therapies or medicines that can prevent the progression of pre-hypertension to full blown hypertension.
Vitamins C and E
The theory that oxidative stress is associated with the development of hypertension has been around for a long time. In 2008 the University of Chile published their results on a study that investigated the effects of vitamin C and E supplements on hypertension. In the 8 week study, patients with primary hypertension were given either 1 g Vitamin C plus 400 international units of vitamin E per day, or a placebo. The patients' blood pressures were measured daily and tests were also carried out to measure oxidative stress. Results showed that the vitamin treated group had much lower BP pressure and less oxidative stress compared to both the placebo group and compared to their own results at the start of the study.
New Evidence on B Vitamins and Vitamin C
A new study published this month in Clinical Experimental Hypertension reports on research that investigated the effect of water soluble vitamins on oxidative stress and blood pressure in a pre-hypertensive group of patients. The water soluble vitamins (C and B group) were given to one group of patients for four months and compared to a group that received a placebo for four months. At the end of the study no change had been seen in the blood pressure levels of the treatment group whereas the placebo group's blood pressures had increased significantly. The placebo group also had increased markers of oxidative stress. The group conclude that treatment with water soluble vitamins can prevent the progression of pre-hypertension to full blown hypertension.

This script is simply incredible. I have gotten so many new signups in the last few weeks because of their new version. I LOVE IT! Facebook Connect was an absolutely necessary addition and I have seen my memberships increase exponentially. I have no idea what the other guys before me are talking about, but keep up the good work Web Scribble!
Either they are smoking something or they just don't care but with he money invested you would think they would put it into their business model instead of their materialistic needs. If I could give it a "0" I would. Stay away from anything these people sell. You have to sync with their server and if their server ever goes down your site goes down. Learned a valuable lesson - do not support children who do not know how to run a business.
I'm very surprised to see these 'positive' review and I suspect the authors of the scripts to write them, because this script is really BAD. Unfinished, with lot of incompatibilities, no support, security issues. Lot of free scripts are doing better and are better tested... no full access to the source code, and no support, stay away or good luck.
If you like scripts that work right out of the box, then this script is NOT for you. It comes with many formatting problems and errors. We wasted a lot of time on fixing bugs and trying to make it look more visually pleasing to NO avail. The only thing worse than the poorly functioning script is the support you get with it. If you are a developer this script will cost you time and money. You shouldn't have to spend a month or more to get a script to function properly. Scott Smith,
This script gave us headaches for development right from the beginning. It has tons of scripting errors, missing pages, missing php files, non-function or improperly functioning features and a terrible layout and design. We spent so much time trying to work with this script we lowered the bar so low, we eventually decided to trash it. Webscribble refuses refunds and provides no solutions and minimal support. I would not recommend this script or this company. Francis J. Molina, MMG Inc.

So the first rule of Genealogy is to start with yourself and work backwards - and so to understand how this began I need to rewind a bit to the late 1950's, early 1960's.
My father was born in the Comune of Locri, (then known as Gerace Marina) located in Reggio Calabria Italy in the 1930's.. He arrived to the US aboard the SS Constitution in late Mar of 1957. He continued on to Toronto to live with his older brother and family.
My mother, also born in the 1930's, was born in the Comune of Malito, in the Province of Cosenza, Italy She arrived aboard the Saturnia at Pier 21 at Halifax in June of 1961. My dad met her there and accompanied her to her Aunt's house in Toronto.
The two towns in Italy are approximately 156 kms away from each other or a two and a half hour drive. So how did the two of them end up together?
They did not know one another but they were already married, and yet they were living in separate households with their respective families... Bizarre, no?
Their story, by today's standards, would in fact be considered strange but for the time I suppose one would consider it almost -normal. Dad lived in Toronto and worked for my mother's family. My mother wrote to my Aunt one day and my father saw her picture and fell in love. He asked permission to write to my mother and when she received his letter, and picture, she also fell in love. The two corresponded for a while and eventually Mom set out to spend a few months in Locri with Dad's family. Neither of my parents were kids - they were in their late 20's when this happened so I would like to think they knew what they were getting into here. I mean, here is this woman, from a town in the mountains traveling across Calabria to meet some guy's, who she's never met, family and who were living about a hundred yards from the Ionian Sea! They didn't seem to have much in common. Even the food they ate, and the dialect they spoke were different from one another.
more to come....

This special set includes the first three standalone books in the collection including an extended version of Queen Midas in Reverse.
It's a Marshmallow World (novella).
Once upon a time, Darla was given a mystical gift, along with an ominous message. Now, meeting Chris puts her head in a spin. Could it be that gift from long ago holds the key to their happiness?
Scary Modsters...and Creepy Freaks (novel).
A fantastical romance involving a woman, the music that fuels her, and her Ouija board.
Rosalyn possesses a sunny personality that is laced with quirks. Although she seeks acceptance in a world where she lives out of time, what she gets is ridiculed for her eclectic wardrobe and unconventional music collection.
One fateful night, Rosalyn bewitches Niles, a stylish man whose offbeat character perfectly complements her own. Unfortunately, he possesses a critical flaw that means relationship suicide for him and pretty much anyone.
While under the influence of insomnia-impaired judgment, Rosalyn summons Rock 'n Roll deity Peter Lane back from the dead. Not only does he spin her hormones into a frenzy, Peter is also the precarious puzzle piece that brings sense into her world. When Niles learns that he can overcome his life-long challenge by helping Peter avenge his death, how far will he go to secure Rosalyn's heart?
Queen Midas in Reverse (extended novella).
For Jacqueline, a second date is as rare as a unicorn. She's beautiful. She's intelligent. So why is she experiencing a string of first dates that leaves her ducking behind bushes and running for buses? Contrary to her nature, trading in her heels and curling iron for an easy chair surrounded by cats sounds appealing. Is she cursed, or can she find the man who will steal her heart?

I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.
OK. I must admit, Marshmellow World left me unimpressed so I stopped listening for awhile. When I started upon again, I was surprised and intrigued by Scary Modsters. I love Peter! It's theme could have been the basis for a longer book with hotter sex. All in all, all three delivered fresh storylines.
Narrator was very good. She did Peter's voice in a way that reminded me of Bones in The Night Huntress series. Maybe that's why I liked Peter so much.
One Thumb Way Up.

Fode Lassana Diabaté was born in Conakry, Guinea, in 1971 into a family of virtuoso bala (balaphone) players, Lassana Diabaté has been playing the bala since he was five years old. He moved as a young man to Bamako (Mali) in the early 1990s. He has since become one of Mali's most gifted player of the 22-key xylophone of the Mandé jelis (griots), appearing on albums by Salif Keita, Bassekou Kouyate, and Kasse Mady Diabaté, among others, and has been a long-standing member of Toumani Diabaté's Symmetric Orchestra. He also played on Kulanjan, Toumani's celebrated collaboration with the American bluesman Taj Mahal.
An innovator on his instrument, on the AfroCubism project, he can be heard playing two balaphones tuned a semi-tone apart, extending the harmonic range of what is a fixed pitch instrument and allowing greater scope for improvisation.

The U.S. trade deficit widened in September as imports rose to their highest level in almost a year and exports fell for a third consecutive month, suggesting the third-quarter growth estimate will probably be lowered.
Other data painted a less upbeat picture of the labor market than had been suggested by last week's sturdy October payrolls report. First-time applications for jobless benefits fell last week, but the decline in claims for the week ended Nov. 2 was smaller than previously reported.
The trade gap increased 8.0 percent to $41.8 billion, the largest since May, the Commerce Department said. That compared
to economists' expectations for a $39.0 billion shortfall.
When adjusted for inflation, the deficit on the trade balance widened to $50.4 billion, also the largest since May,
from $47.4 billion the prior month.
This measure goes into the calculation of gross domestic product and the rise in the so-called real trade deficit in September suggested the government will probably lower its initial third-quarter GDP estimate.
Trade was reported to have contributed 0.31 percentage point to the economy's 2.8 percent annualized growth pace in the
July-September quarter.
Economists predicted the government will trim this GDP growth estimate by between one and two percentage point when it publishes revisions later this month.
"Today's trade data suggest that the final estimate of third-quarter trade data will shave a couple of tenths off GDP growth over the quarter," said Annalisa Piazza, an economist at Newedge Strategy.
In a separate report, the Labor Department said initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell 2,000 to a
seasonally adjusted 339,000.
However, claims for the prior week were revised to show 5,000 more applications received than previously reported. The four-week moving average for new claims, which irons out week-to-week volatility, dropped 5,750 to 344,000.
"This report suggests some sluggishness on the part of the labor market recovery," said Millan Mulraine, senior economist at TD Securities in New York.
U.S. financial markets were little moved by the trade and jobless claims data as traders watched a Senate panel confirmation hearing of Federal Reserve chairman nominee Janet Yellen for clues on the near-term path of monetary policy.
Yellen told lawmakers that the U.S. central bank had "more work to do" to help the economy and the labor market, which she described as still underperforming.
The Fed last month stuck to its $85 billion monthly bond buying program aimed at stimulating the economy through low interest rates.
No change is expected until early next year as the economy struggles to gain speed and inflation pressures remain benign.
The lack of price pressures was underscored by a second report from the Labor Department showing unit labor costs fell at a 0.6 percent rate in the third quarter after rising at a marginal 0.5 percent pace in the prior quarter.
Sluggish demand was also highlighted in Wal-Mart Stores'third quarter results, which showed another quarterly decline in U.S. comparable sales.
Lackluster domestic demand is preventing the labor market from generating stronger job growth that would decisively lower the unemployment rate.
Employers added 204,000 new jobs last month, but a 16-day government shutdown temporarily pushed the jobless rate up by a tenth of a percentage point to 7.3 percent, the Labor Department reported last week.
While trade has supported the economy's recovery, slowing global demand is eroding export growth. Exports slipped 0.2 percent to $188.9 billion in September, the third straight month of declines.
"Exports are flat because most of the rest of the world is barely growing," said Michael Montgomery, a U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Massachusetts.
Imports rose 1.2 percent to $230.7 billion, the highest level since November last year. Imports of automobiles hit a record high.
But with consumer spending having slowed significantly, some of the imported goods could end up piling up in warehouses.
That could make businesses reluctant to keep on rebuilding stocks and the slowdown in inventory accumulation would undercut
fourth-quarter GDP growth.
Imports from China increased in September, lifting the contentious U.S. trade deficit with China to a record $30.5 billion. (Reuters)

Aw yeah! Our dear friend, Jennifer Pastiloff, was written up in yesterday's Huffington Post!
See the article below:
Jennifer Pastiloff is well known amongst west-side yogis for her classes at Yoga Co, Equinox, Fred Segal Santa Monica, and Lululemon, as well as her ongoing Manifestation Retreats in Ojai. But when Pastiloff's four-year-old nephew Blaise, who has autism, was recently diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome, she and sister Rachel began a new venture, Gifts And Miracles Everyday (G.A.M.E.) Yoga to give free yoga classes to children with disabilities. Prader-Willi Syndrome is a disorder of the fifteenth chromosome that can result cognitive impairment, an extremely slow metabolism, and chronic feelings of hunger that often lead to life-threatening obesity and other health problems.
Upon hearing of Blaise's diagnosis, Pastiloff remembers, "I noticed my nephew would copy me with yoga, and I had previously worked giving free classes for cancer survivors. So I decided I wanted to give back and thought, 'what could I do?'" Pastiloff is starting small and currently works with children who have Down syndrome and autism, as well one child who is blind. She teaches on Saturdays at 12:30pm in rooms donated by Santa Monica studio Yoga Co, and she is assembling a team to expand her class schedule.
The official launch for G.A.M.E. Yoga took place at Lululemon on December 9, 2010. Pastiloff was able to raise four thousand dollars with a raffle that included a signed guitar donated by Snow Patrol and a necklace designed and donated by Jennifer Meyer, wife of actor Toby Maguire. The money, Pastiloff says, will help pay for studio space rentals and yoga mats, and eventually for a fully funded website that will provide families of disabled children with free, downloadable yoga videos created by well-known teachers and physical therapists. She also plans to include blogs, "and interesting articles, photos and interactive resources, as well as a connection and meet-up for parents and children facing challenges."
For now, the LA-based yoga instructor describes G.A.M.E. Yoga as a "grassroots" project, which she hopes will grow into non-profit organization with chapters nationwide and globally. One of the current challenges G.A.M.E faces is that Pastiloff's classes must be small in order to give each child personal attention. Her hope is to assemble a "cohesive team that will be able to mobilize easily and work throughout Los Angeles." And while the short term goal of G.A.M.E. is to provide children with one to three classes per week locally, Pastiloff plans to take G.A.M.E. east later this year. Pastiloff will travel to New York to work with Pure Yoga, Dhyana Yoga in Philadelphia and New Jersey, and alongside her sister at Hazard County Skatepark in Atlanta.
To find out more about Jennifer and G.A.M.E. Yoga, or to get involved, visit JenniferPastiloff.com, or call Yoga Co and ask for Jennifer.

DJ Freeze started listening to the harder styles of music because of his brother Anthony Zijlstra. This all started around 1992, when they listened together to BFBS-radio. In this same period Anthony started buying the wellknown Thunderdome CDs and since then Freeze was sold to hardcore. In 1996 Freeze started to practise his DJing a lot. With a lot of practising with records that he bought together with his best friend, Dave Maas, he improved steady. The gear they used was located at Dave's appartment, in the year 2000 DJ Freeze bought his own turntabels and mixinggear. From that moment Freeze DJ carreer could really start off. In 2000 Freeze formed an act with DJ Dysone. They use dto play on regular base on "Zig Zag" together with DJ Big El. Around the same period Freeze created an other DJ-Team that was called "Proximity". Members of that team were Freeze, Adrenialin and Dysone. The Proximity team spinned on several partys but in 2003 they eventually broke up and went their own ways. The only thing that remained of the Proximity is the BSHVN Underground Movement. Freeze has been a resident DJ there from 2003 to 2006. In 2005 Andries participated to a DJ contest in Valkenswaard. He won the contest and got rewarded with a trip to Nature One. Later this year Freeze became resident on several clubs and events like "Hoegaardan Events" and club "Carte Blanche" Every weekend Freeze plays on several parties and he's resident of some bigger partys like Hard Nature. Being booked this much it's just a matter of time for Andries to start spinning on big events.

Football has risen to be the most loved and celebrated sport all over the world. Fans travel far and wide to witness the world cup and enthusiasts have devoted a lot of invested time and passion to it. Surely, it has accumulated a lot of interesting bits and bobs throughout its run in history. Care to find out what they are? Here take a look!
- A traditional football has 32 panels which represents each of the countries in Europe where its initial craze began. The continent is no doubt the biggest and most avid out of the others about the sport. It's also slightly oval in shape and the pattern has to be credited for the illusion of a perfect sphere.
- Although considered to be one of the biggest and most passionate football nations, the United Kingdom actually has a different national sport and that's cricket. Surprised?
- Early versions of the ball were made of an inflated pig bladder which was later on put inside a leather cover or case. Modern versions are now made of rubber.
- England's reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II would often dress in disguise during her teenage years so she can participate in pickup up soccer matches near the Buckingham Palace.
- English professional footballer Lee Todd received the fastest red card in history at 2 seconds into the match. This was after he cursed about how loud the whistle was at the start of the game.
- FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), the international governing body of association football, futsal and beach soccer, has more member countries than the UN. FIFA has 211 while the UN has 193.
- Football is the most physical intensive of all ball sports as an average player runs for at least forty eight kilometers during an average game. That's quite a workout!
- The game between AS Adema and SO I'Emyrne in Antananarivo, Madagascar on October 31, 2002 holds the world record for the highest score in a game. AS Adema scored a whopping 149 goals with SO I'Emyrne at a nil.
- The very first match to be televised was that of a specially-arranged friendly game between Arsenal and Arsenal Reserves on the 16th September in 1937.
Which among the above fun facts blew your mind the most? Did we miss any of your favorite fun facts.

|The Rag Tag Fleet
Ian W. Shaw - Thu 20 Jul 2017
Please join us for the launch of The Rag Tag Fleet by Ian W. Shaw
The unknown story of how a fleet of Australian fishing boats, trawlers and schooners supplied US and Australian forces in the Pacific - and helped turn the course of World War II.
The book will be launched by David Lloyd, Vice President of the US Army Small Ships Association
Thursday July 20
5.45 for 6.00pm
Telephone 6295 6723 or
email email@example.com
Mid-1942: from China to New Guinea, the Pacific belonged to the Japanese. In this desperate situation, a fleet of hundreds of Australian small ships is assembled, sailing under the American flag, and crewed by over 3000 Australians either too young or too old to join the regular armed forces. Their task: to bring supplies and equipment to the Allied troops waging bloody battles against Japanese forces across the South Pacific.
The Rag Tag Fleet is the unknown story of the final months of 1942 - when these men ran the gauntlet of Japanese air attacks, malaria and dysentery, reefs, and shallow, shark-infested waters to support the US and Australian troops that defeated the entrenched Japanese forces at Buna on the New Guinea coast, and so helped turn the war in the Allies' favour. Their bravery, ingenuity and mettle helped turn the tide of the war. For the first time, their story is told.

I'm With Steve | Phil Walters
Up close with Photographer Phil.
What's your favorite spot to eat in NY?
A little Brazilian spot called Beco. Has a laid back vibe and a delicious take on traditional Brazilian dishes. Order the Pao de Queijo if you have the chance.
What train do you take to work?
The M train from the Marcy stop. Much less packed than the L train these days.
NY Post or Daily News?
I cant say I read either very often. I've been using this app called "Quartz", which texts you news throughout the day.
Where do you go to get inspired?
Coffee shops at 7am. There's something about the early hours by yourself that allow clearer thinking before the day ahead.
Washington Square Park or Madison Square Park?
Washington park. Much more entertaining people watching there.
Favorite little known hideaway?
Does such a thing exist in the city??? Saturdays on Crosby street has a nice back patio, they'll let you sit back there for hours on end. Also the bar above Five Guys in the west village. Someone who stands near the counter will card you before heading up the stairs to get in.
The weekend hits and you need to get out of the city - where do you head?
The beach to surf, year-round, Montauk usually. Camping upstate has been a recent favorite as well.
What region has better shopping - uptown or downtown?
Downtown. Everything new and creative has been coming out of downtown for a long time.
City's best pizza - go!
Motorino's pizza, soppressata picante, is hands down my favorite. Sometimes I order it late at night to have it waiting on my stoop when I get back. Usually I find someone eating it, but I'm happy to share.
What were your first pair of Steve Maddens?
Oh wow, I don't remember the name since it was 5 years ago, but they were blue suede with six inch heels. They got worked.
What does the Steve Madden brand mean to you?
I've worked with Steve Madden for 6 years and the biggest thing to me are the relationships I have with those that work there. To me, the brand is the people there.

Mum accused of planning Syria trip with her 'abducted' kids REFUSES to stand before judge
A MOTHER who allegedly planned to travel to war-torn Syria with her four children she has been accused of abducting today REFUSED to stand before a judge.
The woman wore a dark-coloured head scarf at Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court in London having been charged with child abduction.
She was detained in Turkey on Tuesday after the family went missing from their home in north-east London last week.
Dressed in a dark-coloured head scarf, the defendant today declined to stand in the dock before District Judge Susan Green.
She said: "I'm sorry, it's part of my religion, so I would prefer to sit down."
Judge Green responded: "I'm not going to argue. Get on with the case."
The defendant's father broke down in tears in the public gallery as his daughter was remanded in custody to appear at Southwark Crown Court on September 21.
The woman's husband, two sisters and her cousin were also sitting in the public gallery.
I'm sorry, it's part of my religion, so I would prefer to sit down.
She turned to her family as she was led from the dock and said: "Don't cry," before she blew a kiss.
She showed no emotion throughout the hearing but giggled at one point when a mobile phone rang in the public gallery.
Following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism command, the defendant has been charged with taking four children under the age of 16 out of the UK without the appropriate consent on August 25.
She was questioned by police after returning to Britain and held at Luton Airport on Thursday night.
All of the children were said to be "safe and well" when the group was detained by Turkish authorities.

These interesting colour photographs were taken in Hollywood by photographer Matt Sweeney from between 1979 to 1983. "During this time, I lived in Hollywoodland in Beachwood Canyon under the Hollywood sign," he said. "I'd just left home at 17, and moved to Hollywood to make it in movies. Not as a star but as a moviemaker. It didn't work out. But I spent these years riding the bus and my moped and working at local photography buisnesses like Franks Highland Park Camera and Freestyle on Sunset. I shot a lot on the way home from work. Also on weekends I'd more often then not go out shooting.".
The photographs are mostly shot on Kodachrome 64, and has remained stable. Some fading has occured, and some was not developed until late.
You can view the whole collection on Sweeney's website at www.mudstonephoto.com.

Advanced Information about the Undergraduate Program
Where can you go in history?
Just about anywhere!
Studying the subject of history is an ideal form of liberal arts education that leads to almost any career you can imagine. The proof lies in the lives of our many graduates from this Department during the past ten years. Some of them go on to law school, and report back to us that they found our intellectual training a perfect preparation for the rigors of legal education. A small number go on to become history teachers in secondary schools, and we offer an excellent dual major program with our Department of Education for that purpose. But most of our History-major graduates go on to careers in business, government, intelligence, information analysis, non-profit foundations and the like, and take paths too numerous and diverse to summarize simply.
The History major at CUA can lead in so many directions because it is both an education in the "what" of history and a training in logic, research, and writing. How do you seek out and weigh the evidence of the past in all the forms it offers? How do you pose questions about it and arrive at some answers? And how do you learn to write and speak analytically about the results? In recent years, the discipline of history has exploded in all directions, and historians now involve themselves with questions that extend into the realms of art, literature, politics and economics. Our aim is to give you a rich, deep, and critical knowledge of the past and how to think about it.
We pride ourselves in offering a friendly, lively atmosphere of approachability and open doors for our students. As a CUA History major you'll engage in lively discussions in small classes: our upper-level undergraduate courses typically number well below twenty students in each class. Unlike the situation at many universities, full faculty members do the teaching, and our students value the close contact and open exchanges they can have with professors, both in the classroom and outside. You'll be challenged to read carefully, to think, speak and write clearly, and to master basic research techniques.
History students can get course credit toward the major through internships in Washington. We also strongly encourage study abroad, most typically in Europe or in Latin America. Catholic University has a number of programs for study abroad, including opportunities to work as Parliamentary aides in London and Dublin, and all these offer course credits, including the chance to study another country's history while living in its midst.
Guide to the Undergraduate History Degree
The purpose of this guide is to give students majoring in History, or thinking about majoring in History, as clear an outline as possible of the requirements for the major. The Department seeks to provide as high and consistent quality of advising as possible to its majors. But it also regards students as having fundamental responsibility for knowing the requirements. Any questions about these guidelines or their application to particular cases should consult the Department's Undergraduate Advising Coordinator, who can rule on situations that might be unclear.
To satisfy the major, a student must complete a minimum of eleven courses in history (university regulations permit a maximum of 14 courses in any one discipline) with a grade of C or better. Credit toward the major may also include Advanced Placement courses taken in high school, and comparable courses taken at other institutions prior to matriculation at CUA. In only the most extraordinary circumstances are students permitted to transfer courses from other institutions taken after enrollment at CUA and never without prior approval by the department's Undergraduate Advising Coordinator.
The program must include the following elements:
- Two survey courses at the 200 level, or one 100-level and one 200-level
- Two semesters of a research seminar (HIST 400-420)
- History 496, "Senior Thesis Seminar"
- Six elective courses in History
- Of these courses, at least three classes must focus on the period of pre-1800
At the end of the sophomore year students are formally accepted as history majors. In order to be accepted, a student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and grades of C or better in all History courses taken up to the point of acceptance.
HISTORY 400-420 Every student should take two iterations of junior seminar, a focused research seminar that prepares students to write their senior thesis. In the Fall of 2017 there are two options: HIST 410: Diversity and Toleration in the Medieval Mediterrean with Dr. Weitz and HIST 415: Civility, Savagery, and Rebellion in the British Atlantic, 1600-1800 with Dr. Fisher. Normally students will take one seminar in each semester of their junior year, but if a student is planning to study abroad, then he or she should take a seminar in his or her sophomore year.
HISTORY 496 In History, the senior thesis is the Department's equivalent of the comprehensive examination that is required for the B.A. by the School of Arts and Sciences at CUA; it is thus a requirement for the major and not an option. Students ordinarily must plan to do the senior thesis seminar in the fall semester of their senior year, and must ordinarily have done two junior research seminars (HIST 400-420) as preparation. The Department always offers several sections of History 496 each fall semester. These sections are offered in a variety of special topics. The senior thesis is a substantial piece of research and writing: requirements for length are subject to each section instructor's guidelines, but typically entail finished papers in the range of 35-40 pages.
The senior thesis must be based upon primary sources, whether published or unpublished, and whether in English, translation into English, or where feasible in another language. Equally importantly, the senior thesis must place its own original research within the context of current historiography on the topic in question, and so must engage the secondary literature. A good senior thesis requires preparation starting in the preceding semester, when topic and section are assigned.
Senior thesis seminars meet weekly as regular classes, and instructors of 496 sections may assign common readings to the class as a whole before emphasis shifts to the direction of individual thesis topics. Students must also meet a series of intermediate deadlines (for example, preliminary bibliography, detailed outline, oral presentation and group critique of early stages of the project, first draft) throughout the semester. The grade for 496 is not given exclusively for the finished paper, but also takes into account students' progress through the intermediate stages of research.
While in ordinary circumstances students must take History 496 in the fall term there are certain extraordinary circumstances when this might not be the case. If a student has gotten out of sequence, for instance as the result of a semester abroad in the junior year, he/she might need to take 496 in the spring semester, in which case he/she must make arrangements with the advice of the Department's Undergraduate Advising Coordinator for an individually-directed 496. It is important to emphasize that planning and consultation well ahead of time are critically important for any student contemplating such circumstances.
NOTE: It is important to emphasize that preparing and writing a senior thesis is intended to be the work of one semester. Therefore, as with any other course at CUA, no "Incomplete" ("I") grade may be given for History 496, except for documented major emergency outside the student's control. No "incomplete" will be allowed for the purpose of furnishing more time to complete the project.
Students in CUA's Undergraduate Honors Program may count HSHU courses as 200-level courses toward the History major; some of the courses could alternately count as Literature distribution requirement. In addition, students entering the History major from the Honors Program may, with the permission of the Department's Undergraduate Advising Coordinator, opt not to take any 100- or 200-level surveys, but in their place may substitute 300-level History courses.
Please note that it is very difficult for an undergraduate to receive permission to take an Incomplete for a course and turn the coursework in after the end of the semester. In particular, university policy requires documentation of a serious problem that prohibits the student from completing his or her work, and paperwork requesting the Incomplete must be submitted well before grades are due. If a professor has already entered your final grade, then due to university policy it is impossible for an Incomplete to be given retroactively.
There are other undergraduate degree programs that undergraduates should be aware of: a special combined major in History and Secondary Education offered in collaboration with the education department; a 5-year joint B.A./M.A. in History; a 6-year joint B.A./J.D. program offered with the law school; and a 5-year B.A./MSLIS program offered with the library science department. Students who might want to opt for these programs must be aware that course planning for them must begin very early in their undergraduate careers and applications are required; consult the Department's Director of Undergraduate Studies for more details.
