The motion and rotation of an ellipsoidal particle inside square tubes and rectangular tubes with the confinement ratio R/a∈(1.0,4.0) are studied by the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), where R and a are the radius of the tube and the semi-major axis length of the ellipsoid, respectively. The Reynolds numbers (Re) up to 50 are considered. For the prolate ellipsoid inside square and rectangular tubes, three typical stable motion modes which depend on R/a are identified, namely, the kayaking mode, the tumbling mode, and the log-rolling mode are identified for the prolate spheroid. The diagonal plane strongly attracts the particle in square tubes with 1.2≤R/a<3.0. To explore the mechanism, some constrained cases are simulated. It is found that the tumbling mode in the diagonal plane is stable because the fluid force acting on the particle tends to diminish the small displacement and will bring it back to the plane. Inside rectangular tubes the particle will migrate to a middle plane between short walls instead of the diagonal plane. Through the comparisons between the initial unstable equilibrium motion state and terminal stable mode, it is seems that the particle tend to adopt the mode with smaller kinetic energy.
In this paper, a simplified lattice Boltzmann method (SLBM) without evolution of the distribution function is developed for simulating incompressible viscous flows. This method is developed from the application of fractional step technique to the macroscopic Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations recovered from lattice Boltzmann equation by using Chapman-Enskog expansion analysis. In SLBM, the equilibrium distribution function is calculated from the macroscopic variables, while the non-equilibrium distribution function is simply evaluated from the difference of two equilibrium distribution functions. Therefore, SLBM tracks the evolution of the macroscopic variables rather than the distribution function. As a result, lower virtual memories are required and physical boundary conditions could be directly implemented. Through numerical test at high Reynolds number, the method shows very nice performance in numerical stability. An accuracy test for the 2D Taylor-Green flow shows that SLBM has the second-order of accuracy in space. More benchmark tests, including the Couette flow, the Poiseuille flow as well as the 2D lid-driven cavity flow, are conducted to further validate the present method; and the simulation results are in good agreement with available data in literatures.
In this article, by applying the Stokes projection and an orthogonal projection with respect to curl and div operators, some new error estimates of finite element method (FEM) for the stationary incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are obtained. To our knowledge, it is the first time to establish the error bounds which are explicitly dependent on the Reynolds numbers, coupling number and mesh size. On the other hand, The uniform stability and convergence of an Oseen type finite element iterative method for MHD with respect to high hydrodynamic Reynolds number Re and magnetic Reynolds number Rm, or small δ=1–σ with
(C0, C1 are constants depending only on Ω and F is related to the source terms of equations) are analyzed under the condition that . Finally, some numerical tests are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm.
We consider a scalar conservation law with zero-flux boundary conditions imposed on the boundary of a rectangular multidimensional domain. We study monotone schemes applied to this problem. For the Godunov version of the scheme, we simply set the boundary flux equal to zero. For other monotone schemes, we additionally apply a simple modification to the numerical flux. We show that the approximate solutions produced by these schemes converge to the unique entropy solution, in the sense of [7], of the conservation law. Our convergence result relies on a BV bound on the approximate numerical solution. In addition, we show that a certain functional that is closely related to the total variation is nonincreasing from one time level to the next. We extend our scheme to handle degenerate convection-diffusion equations and for the one-dimensional case we prove convergence to the unique entropy solution.
In this paper, we consider the transform magnetic (TM) model of electromagnetic scattering in the cavity. By the Polynomial Preserving Recovery technique, we present superconvergence analysis for the vertex-edge-face type finite element. From the numerical example, we can see that the provided method is efficient and stable.
In the paper, a new time second-order mass-conserved implicit/explicit domain decomposition method (DDM) for the diffusion equations is proposed. In the scheme, firstly, we calculate the interface fluxes of sub-domains from the obtained solutions and fluxes at the previous time level, for which we apply high-order Taylor's expansion and transfer the time derivatives to spatial derivatives to improve the accuracy. Secondly, the interior solutions and fluxes in sub-domains are computed by the implicit scheme and using the relations between solutions and fluxes, without any correction step. The mass conservation is proved and the convergence order of the numerical solutions is proved to be second-order in both time and space steps. The super-convergence of numerical fluxes is also proved to be second-order in both time and space steps. The scheme is stable under the stable condition r≤3/5. The important feature is that the proposed domain decomposition scheme is mass-conserved and is of second order convergence in time. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.
The paper presents the size-dependant behaviors of the carbon nanotubes under electrostatic actuation using the modified couple stress theory and homotopy perturbation method. Due to the less accuracy of the classical elasticity theorems, the modified couple stress theory is applied in order to capture the size-dependant properties of the carbon nanotubes. Both of the static and dynamic behaviors under static DC and step DC voltages are discussed. The effects of various dimensions and boundary conditions on the deflection and pull-in voltages of the carbon nanotubes are to be investigated in detail via application of the homotopy perturbation method to solve the nonlinear governing equations semi-analytically.
In this paper, we propose a new energy-preserving scheme and a new momentum-preserving scheme for the modified regularized long wave equation. The proposed schemes are designed by using the discrete variational derivative method and the finite volume element method. For comparison, we also propose a finite volume element scheme. The conservation properties of the proposed schemes are analyzed and we find that the energy-preserving scheme can precisely conserve the discrete total mass and total energy, the momentum-preserving scheme can precisely conserve the discrete total mass and total momentum, while the finite volume element scheme merely conserve the discrete total mass. We also analyze their linear stability property using the Von Neumann theory and find that the proposed schemes are unconditionally linear stable. Finally, we present some numerical examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
In this paper, we first discuss the well-posedness of linearizing equations, and then study the stability and unstability of the 3-D compressible Euler Equation, by analysing the existence of saddle point. In addition, we give the existence of local solutions of the compressible Euler equation.
Numerical investigation of the underexpanded sonic coaxial jets is carried out using large eddy simulation for three typical inner nozzle lip-thicknesses. Various fundamental mechanisms dictating the flow phenomena including shock structure, shear layer evolution and sound production are investigated. It is found that the inner nozzle lip induces a recirculation zone between inner and outer jets, which significantly influences the behaviors of shock structures and shear layers. The sound properties of the coaxial jets are further analyzed in detail. As the inner lip-thickness increases, the helical screech mode switches to an axisymmetric one and high-frequency screech also occurs with an oscillation frequency of recirculation zone. Based on the temporal Fourier transform and correlation analysis, the primary sources of low- and high-frequency screeches are associated with the downstream shock cells in the jet column and the secondary shock structures in the outer annular jet, respectively. The proper orthogonal decomposition analysis reveals that the dominant structures constructed by the most energetic modes shift from the downstream shock cells region to the upstream secondary shock region as the lip-thickness increases. The results obtained in this study provide physical insight into the understanding of the mechanisms relevant to the coherent structures and sound properties in sonic coaxial jets.
In this work, the a-posteriori error indicator with an explicit formula for p-version finite element methods in square is investigated, and its reliable and efficient properties are deduced. Especially, this a-posteriori error indicator is determined by the right hand itemof themodel. We reformulate this a-posteriori error indicator with finite coefficients, which can be easily calculated during applications.
In order to overcome the possible singularity associated with the Point Interpolation Method (PIM), the Radial Point Interpolation Method (RPIM) was proposed by G. R. Liu. Radial basis functions (RBF) was used in RPIM as basis functions for interpolation. All these radial basis functions include shape parameters. The choice of these shape parameters has been and stays a problematic theme in RBF approximation and interpolation theory. The object of this study is to contribute to the analysis of how these shape parameters affect the accuracy of the radial PIM. The RPIM is studied based on the global Galerkin weak form performed using two integration technics: classical Gaussian integration and the strain smoothing integration scheme. The numerical performance of this method is tested on their behavior on curve fitting, and on three elastic mechanical problems with regular or irregular nodes distributions. A range of recommended shape parameters is obtained from the analysis of different error indexes and also the condition number of the matrix system. All resulting RPIM methods perform very well in term of numerical computation. The Smoothed Radial Point Interpolation Method (SRPIM) shows a higher accuracy, especially in a situation of distorted node scheme.
In this paper, a double-passage shape correction (DPSC) method is presented for simulation of unsteady flows around vibrating blades and aeroelastic prediction. Based on the idea of phase-lagged boundary conditions, the shape correction method was proposed aimed at efficiently dealing with unsteady flow problems in turbomachinery. However, the original single-passage shape correction (SPSC) may show the disadvantage of slow convergence of unsteady solutions and even produce nonphysical oscillation. The reason is found to be related with the disturbances on the circumferential boundaries that can not be damped by numerical schemes. To overcome these difficulties, the DPSC method is adopted here, in which the Fourier coefficients are computed from flow variables at implicit boundaries instead of circumferential boundaries in the SPSC method. This treatment actually reduces the interaction between the calculation of Fourier coefficients and the update of flow variables. Therefore a faster convergence speed could be achieved and also the solution stability is improved. The present method is developed to be suitable for viscous and turbulent flows. And for real three-dimensional (3D) problems, the rotating effects are also considered. For validation, a 2D oscillating turbine cascade, a 3D oscillating flat plate cascade and a 3D practical transonic fan rotor are investigated. Comparisons with experimental data or other solutions and relevant discussions are presented in detail. Numerical results show that the solution accuracy of DPSC method is favorable and at least comparable to the SPSC method. However, fewer iteration cycles are needed to get a converged and stable unsteady solution, which greatly improves the computational efficiency.
The second order weighted and shifted Grünwald difference (WSGD) operators are developed in [Tian, Zhou and Deng, Math. Comput., 84 (2015), pp. 1703–1727] to solve space fractional partial differential equations. Along this direction, we further design a new family of second order WSGD operators; by properly choosing the weighted parameters, they can be effectively used to discretize space (Riemann-Liouville) fractional derivatives. Based on the new second order WSGD operators, we derive a family of difference schemes for the space fractional advection diffusion equation. By von Neumann stability analysis, it is proved that the obtained schemes are unconditionally stable. Finally, extensive numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate the performance of the schemes and confirm the convergence orders.
In this paper, we extend using the Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method together with the front tracking method to simulate the compressible two-medium flow on unstructured meshes. A Riemann problem is constructed in the normal direction in the material interfacial region, with the goal of obtaining a compact, robust and efficient procedure to track the explicit sharp interface precisely. Extensive numerical tests including the gas-gas and gas-liquid flows are provided to show the proposed methodologies possess the capability of enhancing the resolutions nearby the discontinuities inside of the single medium flow and the interfacial vicinities of the two-medium flow in many occasions.
In this paper, we consider the numerical method that is proposed and analyzed in [J. Cao and C. Xu, J. Comput. Phys., 238 (2013), pp. 154–168] for the fractional ordinary differential equations. It is based on the so-called block-by-block approach, which is a common method for the integral equations. We extend the technique to solve the nonlinear system of fractional ordinary differential equations (FODEs) and present a general technique to construct high order schemes for the numerical solution of the nonlinear coupled system of fractional ordinary differential equations (FODEs). By using the present method, we are able to construct a high order schema for nonlinear system of FODEs of the order α, α>0. The stability and convergence of the schema is rigorously established. Under the smoothness assumption f,g ∈ C4[0,T], we prove that the numerical solution converges to the exact solution with order 3+α for 0<α≤1 and order 4 for α>1. Some numerical examples are provided to confirm the theoretical claims.
An inverse problem of determining unknown source parameter in a parabolic equation is considered. The variational iteration method (VIM) is presented to solve inverse problems. The solution gives good approximations by VIM. A numerical example shows that the VIM works effectively for an inverse problem.
Inspired by the behavior of the blind for hill-climbing using a stick to detect a higher place by drawing a circle, we propose a heuristic direct search method to solve the unconstrained optimization problems. Instead of searching a neighbourhood of the current point as done in the traditional hill-climbing, or along specified search directions in standard direct search methods, the new algorithm searches on a surface with radius determined by the motion of the stick. The significant feature of the proposed algorithm is that it only has one parameter, the search radius, which makes the algorithm convenient in practical implementation. The developed method can shrink the search space to a closed ball, or seek for the final optimal point by adjusting search radius. Furthermore our algorithm possesses multi-resolution feature to distinguish the local and global optimum points with different search radii. Therefore, it can be used by itself or integrated with other optimization methods flexibly as a mathematical optimization technique. A series of numerical tests, including high-dimensional problems, have been well designed to demonstrate its performance.
In this work, we study numerical methods for a coupled fluid-porous media flow model. The model consists of Stokes equations and Darcy's equations in two neighboring subdomains, coupling together through certain interface conditions. The weak form for the coupled model is of saddle point type. A mortar finite element method is proposed to approximate the weak form of the coupled problem. In our method, nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart elements are applied in the fluid subdomain and the lowest order Raviart-Thomas elements are applied in the porous media subdomain; Meshes in different subdomains are allowed to be nonmatching on the common interface; Interface conditions are weakly imposed via adding constraint in the definition of the finite element space. The well-posedness of the discrete problem and the optimal error estimate for the proposed method are established. Numerical experiments are also given to confirm the theoretical results.
In this paper, we analyze a nonconforming finite element method for the computation of transmission eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions. The error estimates of the eigenvalue and eigenfunction approximation are given, respectively. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to validate the theoretical results.

text: Hey guys Thanks to a member of doom9 (ranpha), I am now able to use Microsoft's superb MPEG-2 decoder with CyberLink's audio decoder using MPC-HC (x86).

PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 02:45 PM - 03:45 PM
PURPOSE: The Lung Volume Reduction Coil (LVRC, PneumRx Inc.) is a bronchoscopic implant for the treatment of severe emphysema, proven to be effective in the treatment of severe COPD. To evaluate longer term efficacy and perform subgroup analyses on efficacy in homogeneous disease, four European studies with nearly identical protocols were analyzed out to one year post-treatment.
METHODS: 119 patients (mean age: 61 years, mean FEV1: 29%, mean RV: 245% pred., mean 6MWT 313m) were treated by bilateral LVRC performed in two separate procedures in two contralateral lobes, with follow-up at 6 months and one year. A post-hoc blinded CT analysis was performed on a subset of data I) by a digital lobar CT emphysema score assessing the percentage destruction below -950HU with a <25% difference between ipsilateral lobes defining homogeneous emphysema, and II) by a visual pattern approach grading from 0 (no damage) to 4 (bullous disease) with a difference of ≤1 point defining homogeneous emphysema.
RESULTS: 2311 LVRCs were placed in 238 procedures (mean 9.7±1.6 per lobe). Serious adverse events (SAE) in the 30 days following treatment included 13 COPD exacerbations (5.5%), 1 hemoptysis (0.5%), 11 pneumonia (4.6%), 9 pneumothorax (3.8%), no deaths or acute respiratory failure. All SAEs resolved with standard care. Effects of LVRC treatment at 6 and 12 months showed significant and sustained mean efficacy: ΔFEV1: +14.9%±22 and +13.2%±27; ΔRV: -0.59L ±0.76 and -0.52L ±0.77; Δ6MWD: +44m±67 and +51m±62; and ΔSGRQ: -11.2pts±12 and -10pts±12 (p<0.0001 for all values). Post-hoc analysis at 6 months was performed on 63 patients to compare homogeneous and heterogeneous response. Digital CT analyses identified 25 homogenous and 38 heterogeneous cases; the visual approach identified 34 homogeneous and 29 heterogeneous. Both RV, 6MWT and SGRQ responses were similar between the two groups, regardless of the calculation method. Only the FEV1 response differed significantly in favor of the heterogeneous group.
CONCLUSIONS: LVRC treatment results in significant and clinically relevant improvements in exercise capacity, lung function, and quality of life for patients with homogeneous and heterogeneous emphysema. Patient relevant improvements from LVRC treatment are sustained at one year.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Coil Treatment is a feasible, safe and effective treatment modality for patients with severe heterogeneous and homogeneous emphysema

The Clothing of the Future Is Dipped in Silver
Geege Schuman stashed this in Nanotechnology
Stashed in: Couture, Innovation, Energy, Nanotech!
Cui and his colleagues came up with the idea for the fabric when considering that nearly half of the world's energy consumption goes toward heating buildings — which contributes to up to a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. To reduce energy waste and keep heat indoors, most engineers have tried to boost the insulating properties of building materials. But the Stanford team turned its focus to keeping people warm. Regular clothing can do this by trapping heat, but it allows much of that heat to dissipate back into the surrounding air.
Since silver can conduct electricity, a mini battery could deliver a small voltage to heat up the nanowires for extra warmth.
Why not use metal? The surface would reflect heat radiating from the body back onto the skin. But metal is hard, and people want clothing "to be soft and still breathe," Cui says. The solution: soft, ultrathin nanowire. Cui decided on silver — cheaper than gold but more stable than copper, which forms a green crust when exposed to air. And since silver can conduct electricity, a mini battery could deliver a low-voltage current to heat up the material for extra warmth. To coat the fabric, Cui's group immersed it in a solution that left behind a thin nanowire layer when dried, producing a fabric that still lets sweat escape and nanowires that don't flake off in the wash.
Because nanowires are so thin, only a little silver is needed. Benjamin Wiley, an assistant professor of chemistry at Duke University, calculates that the coating would add just 10 bucks to the cost of a shirt at most. Meanwhile, Cui estimated that wearing the material would save around 1,000 kilowatt-hours per person a year — about the amount of electricity that the average U.S. home uses every month.
What an innovative and clever use of silver to make insulated, comfortable clothing!

The Chautauqua County Fire Investigation Team says the blaze broke out at around 8 o'clock in a home on Allegany Road in Irving. The homeowners were not there when the fire started.
Because the house is outside the city water system Sunset Bay firefighters had to use tankers from a number of other fire departments. They knocked down the majority of the fire in about 20 minutes.

Twenty-four hours before Ipswich take on Inter Milan at Portman Road in a UEFA Cup third round-tie, the club's Dutch full-back Fabian Wilnis was so upset by the effect on team morale that he hit out at the scandal-mongers.
The Suffolk town has been buzzing with speculation about which players might have been involved and, when top scorer Marcus Stewart broke his jaw in a training-ground accident on Sunday, some fans jumped to conclusions.
But Wilnis rounded on the snipers, saying: 'There have been a lot of rumours flying around about team-mates sleeping with other players' wives and that people have been arguing and fighting off the pitch. But I can say categorically that it's all bull.'
Ipswich, who finished a surprise fifth last season on their return to the Premier League, have struggled this term and are just one point from the foot of the table, having won only one of their 13 games. They have battled through two rounds of the UEFA Cup despite being held to a draw in both home legs.
Wilnis, 31, added on his personal website: 'I understand that rumours, gossip and backstabbing seem to be a problem when your team is struggling but it's not what we need. Now is the time when we need everyone pulling together and focusing on the important job of getting out of our current situation.'
Inter may be without the injured Ronaldo and Christian Vieri tonight but coach Hector Cuper believes his side have enough in reserve to end Ipswich's 27-game unbeaten home record in European football.
In the absence of his multi-million pound forward line, Cuper will turn to Nicola Ventola and Ronaldo's fellow Brazilian Adriano.
Ipswich have their injury problems, with Jim Magilton joining Stewart and Finidi George on the casualty list after straining his thigh. But Cuper was not taking the tie lightly. He said: 'We do not think it will be easy. We mustn't let them come to us, we must have a go at them.'
Ipswich manager George Burley believes his side can cause an upset, saying: 'This is something my players never even dreamed about two years ago but they have earned the right to compete in Europe.
'Inter are one of the biggest clubs in the world and everybody is writing us off. But this is a challenge I am up for and I am confident we can pull through.'

Noah's Brick(2016)
A Novella by Piers Anthony
11 year old Noah discovers a remarkable brick that has three holes on one side and four holes on the other side, all of the holes passing completely through it. How can this be? He knows others will think this is nonsense, but he is determined to find out the brick's secret. This leads to an alien space station - Noah's Ark--and encounters with other young folk, such as Si, an abused 11 year old girl who also has an alien artifact. Maybe she will be his girlfriend, if she can ever learn to trust a boy. They discover special powers, and will form a project to save the world, using the alien technology.

Q: I have invested Rs 1 lakh in Section 80C and Rs 15,000 in Medical Insurance. I do not have any home loan. Please suggest me how best I can work on reducing further tax on my income.
Answer: You can look at restructuring your salary and claiming HRA, if you are living in a rented accommodation. If you take a home loan, there is an additional Rs 1.5 lakhs deduction (self occupied house; no limit for a house that is let out) that you can claim on the interest amount.

Hamilton: India, with its batting pride badly battered and bruised in the recent Test series against New Zealand, hopes the pitches do not dictate terms in the upcoming One-day series against the hosts. "I just hope we have very good batting wickets for One-dayers," Indian coach John Wright said before the team's departure for Auckland for Thursday's opening One- dayer. India, who lost the two-Test series 2-0 here on Sunday, will play seven One-day Internationals hoping to salvage its reputation with a vastly improved batting performance in the shorter version of the game. India's batting was so brittle in Tests on seamer-friendly tracks that it failed to cross the 200-mark in four innings despite having quality players in Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and skipper Saurav Ganguly. Batting genius Tendulkar and the reliable Dravid, both have scored more than 1,000 Test runs this year, but neither could do justice to his stature against the New Zealand pace attack. The tourists lost the opening Test at Wellington by 10 wickets and the second here by four, both inside three days, as India was blanked for the first time in a Test series under Ganguly's captaincy. Only Dravid and Tendulkar managed to compile half-centuries in two Tests as India scored 161, 121, 99 and 154 in its four innings in one of its most disappointing batting display in recent years. "You haven't seen the best of our batsmen," said Wright, whose side has been strengthened with the arrival of fast bowler Javagal Srinath, leg spinner Anil Kumble and all-rounder Yuvraj Singh for the One-day series. "Their style and attacking brand of cricket have yet to be seen on the tour. I hope the New Zealand public gets the opportunity to see that in seven One-dayers," he said. The Indian coach said it was essential for both India and New Zealand to play on good pitches here in their last One-day series before the World Cup, starting in South Africa next February. "I think it is very important (to have batting wickets) for both the sides heading into the World Cup. We want to go there with batsmen in form and I imagine our opposition also wants the same," said Wright. "Our preparations for the World Cup will depend on how batsmen-friendly pitches are in this series. You should be able to put up big scores and I think New Zealand will also be thinking along the same lines. It'll probably be wise and that's what we are looking for in this One-day series." The local press criticised the quality of Test pitches, especially the one at the Westpac Park here where 22 wickets fell on Saturday in a sensational day of Test cricket. "It was not so much a Test match as a low-grade farce, starring an Indian side which had effectively been nobbled by New Zealand's desire to play on wickets that would not so much advantage themselves, but disadvantage the opposition," the 'New Zealand Herald' said. "The lasting impression from this Test series will be the substandard pitches that India was forced to bat on and the subsequent drop-off in the quality of cricket," the paper said.

Selena Gomez vs. Justin Bieber – Who sang Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River" better?
Rumors of the on-again-off-again status of Jelena's relationship have been rife in recent months.
None of them officially commented. Both, under different circumstances, have performed the same song, which seems to be Timberlake's classic break-up song.
Selena Gomez performed Justin Timberlake's song "Cry Me A River," on Saturday night at a concert for UNICEF in New York.
"I've been through a lot the past few months. It's been weird and sad and cool," Gomez told the crowd before she began singing.
"This song definitely speaks to me," she added.
Back in November at a concert in Boston, Bieber performed this song.
Below are the two interpretations and we ask you to decide who performed better.

Hi all,
I like modeling as a hobby and have found an image of a machine that I'd really like to build. It's more complex than I've ever done and want to draw up orthographic images to follow. There are some straight edges but the main part is organic and curved.
Does anyone know how I can draw an orthographic from a perspective image?
Couple people I've asked have said go freestyle and try building.
I'd like it to be accurate so would appreciate any help.

This case study will be of interest to libraries considering a shift from traditional reference service to one that provides in-depth and personalized service, and provides a discussion of the choices made and issues considered from such a paradigm shift.
Eliminating traditional reference desk services requires careful analysis and planning, as well as adequate and ongoing training of desk staff on the frontlines of service. The study indicates that the new service model resulting in more in-depth, lengthy consultations will require librarians' expertise. The elimination of walk-in specialized reference assistance has not negatively impacted overall reference statistics, with some reference and instructional statistics actually improving. However, it concludes that each institution must balance its organizational needs with that of its customers when designing its future services.

Debt-laden Puerto Rico now has travel warning over Zika to worry about
NEW YORK Jan 19 (Reuters) - The tourism industry in debt-burdened Puerto Rico urged precautions on Tuesday after U.S. health authorities alerted pregnant woman against traveling to the island because of the mosquito-borne Zika virus.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a travel warning on Friday for 14 countries and territories in the Caribbean and Latin America, including Puerto Rico, where infection with Zika is a risk.
It particularly cautioned pregnant women, as Zika has been linked to serious birth defects. Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, reported its first case of Zika in December.
"We are closely monitoring all information about the Zika virus jointly with all the tourism-related organizations," Clarisa Jimenez, president and chief executive of the Puerto Rico Hotel and Tourism Association, said in a statement on Tuesday.
Jimenez said travel agents, meeting and convention planners were being informed of the measures being taken at the tourism destination level.
"Among these are urging the use of repellents and vigilance of spaces prone to accumulate water in order to eliminate them and avoid the breeding of the mosquito," Jimenez said.
Zika is usually a mild illness with fever, rash and joint pain. There is no preventive vaccine or treatment, according to the CDC.
While the travel cautions may not help the island's image for tourists, it is not seen having a significant economic impact. Puerto Rico is struggling with $70 billion debt and is trying to renegotiate payments with creditors.
"I would be very surprised if it has any noticeable impact on the Puerto Rico economy," said Height Securities analyst Daniel Hanson. "There was pretty much no (economic) effect from the Dengue fever outbreak." Continuación...

"A Dream Wedding!"
I can't say enough about Casa Buena Suerte! We stayed for a week with family and were married right on the beach. From the moment we walked in, we felt pampered and welcome. The villa is so beautiful; you feel like you're standing in a postcard. From top to bottom, there isn't a detail that was missed. It is also very clean, and the staff works diligently to keep it immaculate throughout your stay; you literally don't have to lift a finger. The beds were comfortable, and there was enough room in and around the house to spread out, so the large group we traveled with didn't feel crammed together. The chefs prepare fantastic meals that are absolutely delicious. The ceviche cannot be missed! Hugo, the house manager, cannot be matched. He is so friendly and genuinely felt like a part of our family right away. If you need anything, Hugo is there to make it happen. You can tell this is a man who loves his job! What a difference this makes! The wedding was fantastic! We worked with a local planner, as well as with Marc (the CBS owner), to arrange food and decorations, and every detail was handled perfectly, and it made our day a dream. Hugo made sure the placed looked amazing, and even hung extra lights to set the mood for the reception. The beach is beautiful. It is a bit rocky, so you do need shoes to walk in the water, but it's not bad. Cbs provides kayaks and life jackets, and we took advantage of this almost every day. The reef sits right off of the shore and is easy to get to, either by swim or kayak. The turquoise water was so warm and inviting, and the staff did a good job of getting debris off of the shoreline, as we did have rain during our stay. The Tulum area offers many activities! We went to Xcaret; it cannot be missed! There were so many choices, even with a week, we ran out of time. I do recommend renting a car, if you're staying a few days. Taxi costs do add up! Overall, a wonderful time, place, and people! We will be back!
Response from the owner, Marc K - 11/13/2013
Thank you Dara! So glad we were able to make your wedding a memorable event! We're Thrilled that you took advantage of the kayaks; the sea is so beautiful in front of the villa!

"Slice of Heaven"
From the moment the gates opened we were welcomed with a beautiful breeze and Hugo the house manager handed us coconut water from the property. This private oasis has surpassed any of our stays in the Caribbean. We roomed in the airy Palapa which was beyond any hut dwelling. It is romantic and picturesque !! It is the closest thing to sleeping on the beach you can get, listening to the surf and wind through the palm trees all night. As you walk into the open villa, you are struck by the loving attention to detail that makes for the perfect blend of contemporary safisication and warm home. There are so many places to be like drinks on the rooftop with stunning views of the ocean and wild mangrove to sitting at the onyx dinner table as the breeze comes through the french doors while enjoying a meal prepared by Sofia or Jose. Outside you can lounge in the pool and look straight across at the beautiful horizon. We has massages under the Palapa in the beach. What a wonderful way whine the day down. We will definitely continue to visit Mexico and stay at the magical Casa Buena Suerte !! home The grounds were esticilly at Casa Buena Suerte from Hugo Massage

"Our stay could not have been better!!!"
We just returned from Mexico, Casa Buena Suerte, and I think the villa is beautiful, handsomely decorated, and the Villa Manager Hugo makes sure everything runs perfectly. We were there during the Ernesto Hurricane and the house was secure and tight. We had winds for two days and one night. My husband is in the travel business and we see and stay in many high end resorts and this will rival any we have been. The pool, grounds and house are kept meticously clean. The cook, Jose, was wonderful. Every morning we had breakfast waiting. by Sophia. The owner called to check and see if all was good. The ages of our children were one year old to eighteen. We all had a really lovely time! We hope to return. Rita Hooker
Response from the owner, Marc K - 09/17/2012
Thank you Rita. So glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again very soon!
"Very Nice Stay"
I arranged this trip for my wife's 50th, that included other couples and every single person mentioned this to be the best vacation experience they have ever had. Prior to the trip there was major discussion about who gets what room, once there discussion ceased because every suite was nice and unique in its own way. The house manager Hugo was outstanding, I hade a very demanding group and every single request, every single one was satisfied. And, the food - Jose has a way of seasoning it that was incredible. Also, for us the weather was absolutely perfect and kind of odd in a nice way, in that when we were in the city or outside the compound gates it was hot and humid, but when we were in the compound there was a constant breeze. I remember one time after coming from a hot trip in the city the moment I opem the gate I could see and feel the breeze, a very surreal experience. Did I say every single guest complimented on how nice a trip this was, and folks were talking about at least a bi-annual booking, with some wanting to com annually. My favorite place is St. Maarten where we go constantly because our love of the island itself, but for overall stay and accomodations the Buena Suerte Soliman is hard to beat.
We could not have been happier with the physical features of the property. It is important to state that the villa possesses an intangible quality that I can only characterize by using the word "goodwill". It is in the details, it is in the subtle, thoughtful touches and it is in the people who are or have been associated with the villa. First there is the staff. Hugo who is chief caretaker and manger, is not only able, but full of love, grace and poise. Sophie, soft-spoken and unflappable, prepares food that exudes love and cleans house with pride and efficiency. It doesn't hurt that the owners call with some frequency. I truly believe that this goodwill has also been the legacy of past visitors, who have seemed to care for the property as if it were their own and have left thoughtful touches for the next visitor. This goodwill, which was always in the air, gave a magical quality to a property that, is in its own right, is stunning. The bedrooms are all large and perfectly planned and each had a sizable and exquisitely decorated bathroom. The The kitchen is large and has every imaginable appliance, as well as more glassware and serving dishes than one could ever use. The pantry was stocked with almost every condiment one could imagine. Sophia, the cook made a delicious breakfast every morning. Off the kitchen is a living room with a vast u-shaped coach, a 50" flat screen television. The outdoor spaces are nirvana. The pool is huge, easily accommodating the entire group when necessary. There is an outdoor dining area, wrapped beautifully by a "lounge" area with the signature, striped cushions of the property. Speaking of views, it is important to note that the beach is a your doorstep.
Response from the owner, Marc K - 07/17/2012
Thank you Miguel - It's great to hear that our efforts are appreciated by our guests. So glad that you and your family enjoyed our villa. Hope to see you again soon!

"a private Four Seasons"
Our third recent trip to Casa Buena Suerte was (something none of us thought possible) our best yet. The gardens have become so lush there are even more intimate nooks to escape to with a good book. The natural beauty of Soleiman Bay coupled with the grace and lavishness of the villa make one feel like you died and went to heaven! We ate in more frequently this time, (not wanting to leave even for an evening) and were impressed with the professional Chef Jose. He made a different meal every night and each one was delicious. To gather around the beautiful stone table inside or outside in the sunken dining room under the stars and arbor, after sunset cocktails on the roof deck, made the perfect finish to each glorious day. Hugo, the manager was there for any little thing our hearts desired, filling in the blanks discreetly and kindly, Sophia served us the best breakfasts and quietly cleaned and straightened up our mess, Aurelio watered and cleaned the infinity pool, raked the beach and fluffed the cushions!! We all agreed we had never enjoyed a week more. The Thorwarth clan, who never agrees on anything, voted unanimously to book for 2012. Thank you CBS, Mary Thorwarth
Response from the owner, Marc K - 01/05/2012
Thanks Mary; we look forward to seeing you again!
"A Snorkeler's Delight"
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Buena Suerte. The location is remarkable. The house is located on a beautiful bay where we spent many hours kayaking and snorkeling on the reef. We swam with turtles, manta rays and fish in amazing array of colors. We alternated from relaxing at the house and visiting the many close attractions. The infinity pool is a wonderful place to just chill out. The housekeeping staff is very attentive and made us feel at home. Hugo went out of his way to accommodate all of us wishes from arranging transportation to the sites to finding a place for us to buy our own snorkel equipment. Our cook, Jose, prepared many excellent meals for both lunch and dinner such that we only went out to dinner once. The overall week was one to remember.
"Vacation of a lifetime"
Dear Friends, If you are looking for relaxing villa on the Riveria Maya, look no more. Casa Buena Suerte may be villa but is run like a 5 star hotel. From all of the architectural highlights, to the stunning grounds, infinity pool, and the views of Soliman Bay, who could ask for more? The staff at Casa Buena Suerte is amazing. Ugo tends to all requests by guests, Jose creates fabulous meals, Sophia greets you every morning with Buenos Dias and breakfast. It is one of the most relaxing trips I've ever been on. We hated to leaving the house to go sightseeing. Casa Buena Suerte is 20 minutes from the Mayan Ruins in Tulum and 45 minutes from Carmen Del Playa. We vacationed with friends, but once my family saw the pictures, they are suggesting that we have a family reunion in Mexico and stay at Casa Buena Suerte. Thanks for the memories and letting us stay in your beautiful villa. Loved It!!!
Response from the owner, Marc K - 08/11/2011
Thanks Donna, we look forward to hosting your family reunion!
"Dream Vacation in Mexico"
We had the pleasure of spending a week at Casa Buena Suerte and the vacation was second to none. The house itself is spectacular with spacious rooms and private bathrooms/terraces for each individual room. With 3 kayaks and snorkeling equipment provided, we took full advantage of the beautiful beach 20 feet from the private pallapa. If the beach isn't inviting enough, you can relax and do nothing in the amazing infinity pool that makes you feel like you're at the edge of the beach. We originally had a list of restaurants in the area that we were eager to check out but Jose impressed us from the beginning and we wound up eating all but 1 dinner and 2 lunches prepared by Jose, not to mention the complimentary fresh fruit, baked goods and hot breakfast served by Sophia every morning. Hugo was the best catering to all our needs be it transportation, grocery shopping or just a basic question about the area. The location was far enough from the crowds yet being 10 minutes from Tulum to the south, 10 minutes from Xel-Ha to the north and 45 minutes from Playa Del Carmen provided plenty of options without much traveling. Overall a wonderful experience that we hope to make an annual event.

"Great Getaway"
We just got home from a great getaway week at Casa Buena Suerte. My family and friends were completely overcome with joy as we entered this fabulous property. The photos simply do not do it justice. The property is so beautiful and well maintained it takes your breath away. We stayed in the Palapa Suite and that in itself was such a treat; each morning we awakened to the sea and the gentle waves at our feet. We had coffee in our suite and then joined our group for breakfast. The staff is warm and curteous, the accommodations fantastic and the beach is total bliss. We enjoyed visiting the Tulum Ruins and a sailboat ride on the Caribbean - the staff was very helpful in arranging this for us. I would highly reccommend this villa!

I am not a huge fan of April Fools' Day- given that a large part of my existence is reading and interpreting the news, I would hope you can imagine how frustrating it is to not know whether the stories are real or fake. So far, I've come across:
- A marriage proposal
- A fashion site that turned into a pets edition for the day
- A YouTube trick where you can turn videos into text – change the resolution from "360p" to "TEXTp" and see what happens
- An article about how Fenway Park is retiring Sweet Caroline, which I can only guess is a joke
- An e-card with the line "To avoid confusion, I/m waiting until tomorrow to tell you I'm pregnant"
So I am now hiding under the bed and waiting for this day to be over. Here's a card that's more appropriate for me:
Anyhoo…while under the bed, I came upon the following fun graphic, courtesy of Econompic Data:
What you see here is the income of the top five hedge fund managers plotted alongside the net income of some of the world's largest corporations. Clearly I chose the wrong career path.
The original post makes a comment about the flow of capital from "productive means" to "goods for the rich." The reality of the situation is that goods for the rich ARE productive, since making luxury yachts and planes and diamond-encrusted bottles of Cristal employs people in ways that other people are willing to pay for. A market-based economy is all about giving people what they are willing to pay for, not necessarily allocating resources to the "most useful" goods and services.
We just have to hope that not everyone is like Montgomery Burns:
Smithers: "What are you going to do with your million dollars?"
Burns: "I dunno…throw it on the pile, I suppose."
I would hope that Mr. Burns would at least put his money in a bank account so that others could borrow it for productive uses.
Hedge fund managers aren't really bankers, but I couldn't help but think of this video made my students at Columbia Business School a few years ago:

Former Broadway impresario Drabinsky found guilty
By Scott Anderson and Jeffrey Hodgson
TORONTO (Reuters) - One-time Broadway impresario Garth Drabinsky was convicted of fraud and forgery by a Canadian court on Wednesday, more than a decade after the collapse of high-profile theater producer Livent Inc.
The court found that Drabinsky, who was behind Broadway hits such as "Ragtime" and the revival of "Showboat", and fellow Livent co-founder Myron Gottlieb "systematically manipulated" the books of the Toronto-based company.
"The accounting system was fraudulent. You knew what was happening," Ontario Superior Court Justice Mary Lou Benotto told the two men seated at the front of a packed Toronto courtroom.
In the company's 1990s heyday, "Kiss of the Spider Woman" and other Livent productions were the toast of Broadway, winning more than a dozen Tony awards. Livent also backed the long-running Toronto production of "Phantom of the Opera".
Canadian prosecutors alleged that the two executives directed company accountants to falsify Livent's records to boost its earnings. Drabinsky and Gottlieb were also charged with fraud in the United States in 1999.
The judge said in an 85-page written verdict that she was "satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Drabinsky and Mr. Gottlieb initiated the improper accounting system and knew of its continuation throughout the years 1994 to 1998."
"The actions of Mr. Drabinsky and Mr. Gottlieb satisfy all three of the ways a prohibited act can be conducted: they were deceitful, they perpetrated a falsehood and reasonable people would consider them dishonest," the verdict said.
The scheme was discovered in 1998, shortly after U.S. investors, including Hollywood mogul Michael Ovitz, took control of the firm. A short time later Livent was bankrupt. Continued...

I recently purchased the Intel Parallel Studio for use on my WindowsXP, Core2Quad machine.
I've created a small example code to exercise the following snippet of code. When run, I expected the concurrency column as detailed in the code. However, the column is all blank. Why? And how to I configure it to always show the actual time used on every statement?
.. snippet ..
const size_t tripCnt(5000);
for (size_t i(0); i
a[0] = static_cast(i);
// ippmCopy_ma_32f_SS is not threaded
// (so Parallel Amplifier should show 1 CPU/poor concurrency BUT doesn't!)
status = ippmCopy_ma_32f_SS(
a, srcStride0, srcStride1, srcStride2,
b, dstStride0, dstStride1, dstStride2,
height, width, 1);
// ippsConv_32f is threaded (according to ThreadedFunctionsList.txt)
// (so Parallel Amplifier should show 4 CPU/ideal concurrency BUT doesn't!)
// (however, the Summary pane does show 4 CPUs in use)
status = ippsConv_32f(a, height*width, b, height, c);
.. end snippet ..

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My cousin had a TPO against him. The judge ordered an exception that my cousin could communicate about their child with the applicant. So he tried calling the applicant and left a couple messages asking about the child. The applicant brought this to TPO court as if this was a violation of the TPO.
In court the judge seemed to be unaware of the last court date permitting an Exception to the TPO that their is allowed to be communication between both parties about the child.
Anyway in court the judge finds that my cousin had violated the TPO by this phone contact but that No Sentence shall be put in place at this point. The TPO expired and then after it expired he finds that he has a warrant because of this phone call(s).
What is the best way to handle this unjust warrant?
A motion needs to be brought to quash the warrant. It sounds like he got caught up in two different courts (family for the TPO and criminal for the alleged TPO violation) and did not have effective representation to explain the exception in his TPO -- although, depending on how he actually chose to communicate and what messages were actually left, there may still have been a violation. He needs to talk to his criminal defense attorney, as a warrant involves a criminal violation.

If the problem is violence against women, is the solution the criminal justice system? Many anti-violence activists look to the police, prisons, and stepped-up criminalization for help and protection. Beth Richie says that's a misguided approach, one that feeds the buildup of the prison nation. Richie describes the contours of the prison nation and the threats it poses to women on the margins.
Beth Richie is a professor of Criminal Justice and Gender and Womens Studies at the University of Illinois, and a leader in the movement to abolish prisons and roll back the prison state.

One cardinal way to speed up America's economic growth is for government to underwrite scientific research and education, particularly in the realm of pure science where corporation-supported R & D often cannot afford to venture resources because of time lag and the chancy nature of a payoff. Government support, this article claims, could free science and many scientists from the bread and butter demands of technology so that they can make the big discoveries upon which tomorrow's productivity must inevitably be based.

When you're trying to improve inefficiencies in your workplace, using a good slogan can be a great way to connect with and motivate your employees. Whether you create your own catchy slogan or choose an old favorite, make sure it's memorable and relevant to the issues you're trying to resolve. Find a way to convey your message in a manner that speaks to your cause, keeping it brief so it will be easy to remember.
The slogan "All Accidents are Preventable" reminds workers to think twice before acting in a manner they know is not responsible. If an employee is tempted to cut corners to save time or money or avoid completing a certain task they don't enjoy, these words can remind them not to take the risk. It's important to constantly repeat safety slogans to your staff, as you want these words to be in their heads, serving as a reminder that accidents don't just happen; they occur when people behave in an irresponsible manner.
"There's No I in Team." People often become competitive in the workplace, wanting to outshine their co-workers in hopes of receiving promotions and raises. This slogan serves as a reminder that while at work, they're part of a team. Instead of acting in their own best interests, they need to do what's best for the entire group as a whole. This means consulting others before making decisions and thinking of how their choices will affect others.
"Money Grows on Trees: Recycle Paper." It's certainly not a secret that many offices waste a lot of paper. If you're trying to reduce waste and encourage employees to recycle paper instead of throwing it away, this is a creative way to send the message. This slogan is catchy and the wording kind of catches people off guard, so they're probably going to read it a few times when they first see it. The next time a worker puts a piece of paper in the wastebasket, he'll think twice, as the image of throwing away money will be stuck in his head.
Time Management
"If You Don't Have the Time to Do it Right, When Will You Have Time to Do it Over?" This classic slogan is a great way to encourage good time management with your employees. If you're experiencing problems with sloppy work and assignments not being completed properly, these words of wisdom can serve to remind your staff that taking the time to do their work right the first time will ultimately help them to be more efficient in the long run.

God, Incarnation, and Metaphysics in Hegel's Philosophy of Religion

In this article, I draw upon the 'post-Kantian' reading of Hegel to examine the consequences Hegel's idea of God has on his metaphysics. In particular, I apply Hegel's 'recognition-theoretic' approach to his theology. Within the context of this analysis, I focus especially on the incarnation and sacrifice of Christ. First, I argue that Hegel's philosophy of religion employs a distinctive notion of sacrifice (kenotic sacrifice). Here, sacrifice is conceived as a giving up something of oneself to 'make room' for the other. Second, I argue that the idea of kenotic sacrifice plays a fundamental role in Hegel's account of Christ. Third, I conclude by sketching some of the consequences of Hegel's idea of a God who renounces his own divinity for an idealistically conceived metaphysics. My main thesis is that the notion of incarnation is conceived by Hegel as the expression of a spirit that advances only insofar as it is willing to withdraw and make room for the other. A kenotic reading of the Hegelian notion of the incarnation is also useful in terms of a clarification of the dispute between 'left Hegelians' and 'right Hegelians' concerning the status of the idea of God in Hegel's philosophy.

John Magnier himself was once known only as someone's son-in-law – he sowed the seeds of the Coolmore empire in partnership with one of the greatest trainers in history, in Vincent O'Brien – so he will have a delicate sense of both the privileges and pressures shaping the career of David Wachman.
The Group One success of Again in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh yesterday was Wachman's fourth in 10 years as a trainer; it was also his second in eight days. As such, it marked a coming of age for Wachman, who married Magnier's daughter, Katie, six years ago and knows that petty jealousies will only be stifled by results that permit no doubt of his own merit.
Those who know him well have never been in any doubt on that score, but the rapid emergence of Again – who broke her maiden barely a month ago – has amplified the message. Around half of the 70 horses Wachman trains in Co Tipperary are owned by Coolmore, including Bushranger, a game winner of the Prix Morny at Deauville. For Again to make her own Group One breakthrough the very next weekend represents a considerable statement, not least because insiders believe that the stakes were subtly raised for Wachman this season.
The bulk of Coolmore's investment naturally remains concentrated down the road at Ballydoyle, but most of the better two-year-olds stabled there are by stallions such as Galileo and Montjeu, whose stock might be expected to bloom as three-year-olds. Aidan O'Brien certainly seemed to have fewer precocious types to run this year, proving conspicuously short of ammunition for the juvenile events at Royal Ascot. There was a decided sense that Wachman had instead been given a chance with some of Coolmore's potential Guineas types.
Hence the significance of Again, now as short as 10-1 with the sponsors for the Stan James 1,000 Guineas. After winning her maiden, she had won the Debutante Stakes at Leopardstown in testing ground and Wachman was concerned that she only had a fortnight to recover before the Moyglare.
Perhaps it was weariness that caused her to hang right under pressure, as Shimah challenged strongly, but lingering inexperience is a more likely explanation – and Wachman knows that she is by no means the finished article in physical terms, either. After Seamus Heffernan switched his whip, Again focused commendably to hold Shimah by half a length.
"I was very concerned this run may have come a bit too quickly for her, but she did it really nicely," Wachman said. "She's really a horse for next year, because she's still big and weak. She's going to make an exciting three-year-old.
"I feel sorry for Wayne Lordan, who does all her home work and is suspended, but Seamie's the super-sub and gave her a great ride." Heffernan himself was only given the chance because Johnny Murtagh is also suspended, but reiterated his dependability here.
All may not be lost for those who backed Cuis Ghaire for the Guineas, despite her horrible performance behind Again in the Debutante. Perhaps a combination of a tough summer and bad ground caught up with her there, and the fact is that Jim Bolger still holds her in the highest esteem – which should count for even more after he introduced Maoineach to make a remarkable debut earlier on yesterday's card.
Last year Bolger pitched the top-class Lush Lashes in at the deep end, when she beat a big field of experienced rivals for a valuable sales prize, and he showed similar boldness in starting Maoineach in the Group Three Go And Go Round Tower Stakes. A daughter of the American stallion, Congaree, Maoineach cruised through the race and was able to stride clear under a hand ride from Kevin Manning. Bolger may now send her to the Prix Marcel Boussac on Arc day at Longchamp.
The Arc itself is back on the agenda for Getaway, who had disappointed twice since his dazzling win at Newmarket in May. Yesterday, ridden for the first time by Frankie Dettori, he won the Grand Prix de Deauville, gaining first run on Doctor Dino and always holding his challenge. The runner-up ran his usual hardy race, giving 4lbs, but is likely to miss the Arc to resume his global travels.
Dettori, however, will again ride the winner at Longchamp, where he had feared that he might be left idle following another disappointing season for his stable, Godolphin. Autumn will instead be a grim anti-climax for Seb Sanders, who shared that unfortgettable duel for the championship – and ultimately the title itself – with Jamie Spencer last year. It was confirmed yesterday that Sanders will miss the rest of the campaign after breaking a femur in a terrifying three-horse pile-up at Chester on Saturday.
Sanders won his first British Classic when Look Here won the Oaks in June, but adversity prompted a sage response from his agent, Keith Bradley. "It is a shame, but that's the nature of the sport," he said. "It is dangerous, and unfortunately it's our name that's come out of the hat this time." At least Sanders will finally be able to spend some time getting to know his young family. After all, he may be a father-in-law some day.
