Let's say I'm working on a LaTeX document collaboratively with someone else. I have defined a bunch of command aliases (such as
\true for
\top and
\false for
\bot); their precise purpose doesn't matter for this TeX.SE question, but it's partly to make it easy for us to use "working macros" while fine-tuning things under the hood independently (e.g., there are different ways of representing the two boolean values in math and computer science, and perhaps I want to easily change this stylistic decision later on). Also, I think that some commands shouldn't be used by others (or me), because they might be outdated, dangerous, etc.
What is the most elegant way to prevent a command or a set of commands from being directly invoked by users? I understand that loaded packages might still rely on them, so a starter might be something like
after all packages are loaded (the
@ ensures that users cannot easily invoke this macro). What caveats are there? What is the cleanest way of disabling some commands for "direct" use? For the sake of having an example, let's say we want to do this for a 0-argument macro such as
\top as well as something with a more complicated argument structure such as
\raisebox. Can one easily generalize this to some sort of very general
\hidecommand command?
Update 1: Also, without the
\let-line, the macro really will not be usable by others (is that right?).
Update 2: The
\def difference might actually make what I want impossible, because for
\def, things will be looked up at the time of use, not the time of definition. Thus, loading any package that uses
\def...\commandname... somewhere inside would have the consequence that I won't be able to disable
\commandname without breaking things, is that right? I'm asking because there might be clever
@-tricks (perhaps something that invokes an error message only if called outside of an
@-environment), but I feel that a proper solution might not be easy.

EU Threatens to Expel Pole Over Tusk Leadership Challenge
The leader of the centre-right bloc in the European Parliament threatened on Sunday to expel a Polish politician who has been nominated by Warsaw to replace fellow-Pole Donald Tusk as chair of European Union summit meetings.
In a sign of mounting frustration among fellow Europeans with the right-wing government in Warsaw, Manfred Weber said in a statement that the conservative EPP, the biggest group in the EU legislature, would expel Jacek Saryusz-Wolski if he did not drop the bid to replace Tusk, which many diplomats see as farcical.
EU leaders are expected to give Tusk, a former Polish prime minister from the centre-right Civic Platform (PO), a second 30-month term as president of their European Council during a summit in Brussels on Thursday.
Until Saturday, no other candidate had emerged. By tradition any challenger would be expected to be a sitting or recently retired government leader. All members except Poland have backed Tusk.
However, the current Warsaw government run by Tusk's right-wing opponents, the Law and Justice party (PiS) headed by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, has insisted Tusk should not be reappointed. On Saturday, it nominated Saryusz-Wolski, a PO lawmaker who sits in the European Parliament in Weber's EPP group.
Weber, an ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said on Sunday that the EPP continued to back Tusk, also an EPP member, and said it would expel Saryusz-Wolski if he did not drop out.
"Donald Tusk...enjoys unanimous support from the entire EPP party family," Weber said in a statement. "It is symptomatic that the Polish government once again pursues only a Polish domestic policy agenda and has completely abandoned any constructive ambition at European level. Every further attack on Donald Tusk will only jeopardize Polish interests in Europe."
Under PiS, Poland, by far the biggest ex-Communist country in the EU, has been criticized by Brussels for attempting to curb the powers of the constitutional court and the media.
Diplomats said the dispute over Tusk was unwelcome for nearly every other government. The chances of them naming another Pole to succeed him are virtually zero. Even putting that aside, few see the little known Saryusz-Wolski as credible.
Nonetheless, Kaczynski's attack on Tusk creates a diplomatic embarrassment at a time when the EU is struggling to reaffirm its unity and credibility after Britain's vote to quit.
Legally, no state has a veto. Tusk's reappointment can be confirmed by a majority vote. In 2014, the Council overrode fierce objections from then British Prime Minister David Cameron to appoint Jean-Claude Juncker president of the EU executive.
However, diplomats say that leaders place greater store on finding a consensus choice when it comes to the presidency of their own summit institution, and would prefer not to vote on it.

I kept notes, or tried to, during the Boston premiere of "Fed Up," the Laurie David/Katie Couric documentary on the obesity epidemic, and it has quotable line after quotable line. Here's one from Couric's intro...
"What if the solutions weren't really solutions at all. What if they were making things worse? What if our whole approach to this whole epidemic has been dead wrong?"
To me, there's no "what if" here, though I don't fault her saying it at the head of this movie.
One of the problems with learning, unequivocally, that our approach is wrong is a key step to our getting it right, but not only are there very powerful, avaricious, and deeply committed forces working to keep us wrong, but "right" won't be right for everyone. The reasons people overeat are varied, so what works for some will not work for everyone.
So, to recap: concentrated foes, diffuse solutions.

AN APPLICATION TO quash the original verdicts in the deaths of 96 people in the Hillsborough disaster 23 years ago has been made to the High Court in London today.
The application by the Attorney General for England and Wales, Dominic Grieve, comes after a report in September found new medical evidence that indicated that dozens who died could possibly have survived with better medical care.
Ninety-six people were crushed to death at Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield in April 1989 after police crowd control broke down. A recent scrutiny of documents relating to the disaster found that police conspired to cover-up their culpability in the aftermath and blame Liverpool fans.
The original inquest into the death of then 95 (later 96) people returned a verdict of 'accidental death' but the decision of the coroner to impose a cut-off time of 3.15pm on the fateful day after which no evidence about what happened to the victims could be heard proved controversial.
In a statement, the Attorney General said: "I believe that the case for the High Court to quash the original inquests is a good one. My application has now been lodged with the Court. It is my intention to appear to argue the case at the hearing that will take place in the High Court."
The application will be based on new medical evidence with a scrutiny of the medical records of the victims by Dr Bill Kirkup, a member of the Hillsborough Independent Panel, determining that dozens of those who died had the potential to survive with more adequate treatment.
"The principal ground for the application is the new medical evidence. The alteration to police and emergency services evidence is a supporting factor as is stadium safety," the Attorney General's Office said.
It added that the views of the families of the 96 victims wee sought and all supported the quashing of the original verdict and the ordering of new inquests. The coroners for South and West Yorkshire also support the application.
A date is still to be set for the new hearing.

OTTAWA — Elections Canada says the Conservative party raised $7.4 million from 45,532 donors in the second quarter of the year.
That's up from the $6.3 million they collected from 41,161 donors in the first three months of the year.
But it's the NDP that really flexed its fundraising muscles, taking in $4.5 million from 48,314 donors in the second quarter — its best quarterly showing ever, both in terms of money and the number of donations.
The Liberals raised $4.03 million from 32,789 individuals in the second quarter, slipping behind the New Democrats.
The Green party raised $760,475 from 10,824 donors in the second quarter, while the Bloc Quebecois took in $118,143 from 1,394 people.
In 2014, the Tories raised a total of $20.1 million, the Liberals collected $15.1 million and the NDP took in $9.5 million.

This game takes place before the Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie. After the war with The Fallen, the humans were glad that the Decepticons were gone for good. But the Autobots on the other hand, thought that the Decepticons were still at large. Megatron's plans were to make a launch from th moon and return Megatron's assassin from cryostasis, Shockwave. So the Autobots stop the Decepticons using their stealth modes and their two weapons to keep from finishing their plans, while the Decepticons take down Autobots using stealth as well. (The DS game, Autobots/Decpticons plot was different.)
These characters are playable.

He has two weapons at first, then Wheeljack gives him a heavy iron weapon so he can defeat Mixmaster's powerful shields.Mirage transforms to an Alfredo Ferrari and can cloak. At the middle of the mission he gets knocked out by Starscream and loses his guns, so he'll have to use his swords.
Megatron transforms into a tank, then he scans a form of a truck. He can suck up energy from an enemy.
Starscream transforms into a F-22 Raptor and appears in Chapter 5 where he has to take the Mechtech technology from Stratosphere.
Soundwave transforms into a different type of car than a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. On Chapter 4 you play with him two times because in the middle of the chapter, you have to be
Laserbeak is a Cybertronian bird that appears in the middle of Chapter 4, so he can open the doors and kill the Autobot Drones taking forms and shooting them with his machine gun.
These are the non-playable characters
Wheeljack only communicates and advises the player on what to do in battle.
Air Raid is a minor boss character in Chapter 5.Silverbolt is the minor boss character in Chapter 5.
Stratosphere transforms into a heavily Stealth Force-armed cargo plane. He is the boss character in Chapter 5. His robot form was never shown.Warpath transforms into a M1 tank. He is the boss character in Chapter 6. He is a playable character in Multiplayer.

As new systems and digital capability continue to evolve the way retailers run their businesses, Essential Retail is gauging the views of the sector's main figureheads, via a series of exclusive interviews. This week, it's the turn of Box Technologies' marketing director, Raj Parmar.
Shop footfall for 2015 is on course to increase year on year for the first time since 2004, but a busy Christmas and festive period will be needed to ensure shopper numbers for the entire 12-month period have edged upwards by 31 December.
Ipsos Retail Performance, which measures shopper data in non-food stores across the UK, says the upturn – which in November sat at 0.7% above 2014's year-to-date footfall – marks a new-found harmony between online and offline retailing "in which channel collusion replaces competition", as well as general economic improvements.
The blurring of the lines between physical and digital retailing is supported by retailers' growing propensity to introduce new technologies, kiosks, tablet devices and other customer engagement tools that help digitise their shops. Some businesses operating in the sector have purposefully upgraded their tech arsenal in time for the expected rush of consumers to their shop-floors over the next fortnight and into the new year sales period.
Box Technologies' marketing director, Raj Parmar, says those who have not invested in new in-store systems to manage the festive stampede, are going to have to make sure they are delivering the fundamental retail services particularly well this Christmas.
"If retailers haven't refreshed their technology they are not going to be able to do it until after the Christmas sales because they are in lock-down period," he told Essential Retail.
"I think it is back to basics in terms of having some helpful staff with smiles on their faces, and having staff who know how to use the technology and who can assist customers with queries."
For those retailers that have identified in-store technological competence as a key business hygiene factor over the festive period, including London department store, Liberty, and UK footwear specialist, Office, there appears to be a real focus on queue busting and efficient processing of transactions.
Liberty upgraded its point of sale (PoS) hardware to Box Technologies' earlier this year to ensure the system was fast enough to cope with BT Expedite's latest software which sits on the device. The Regent Street store wants to serve shoppers as quickly as possible, and for the transaction process to not detract from the quality customer experience it aims to create.
Parmar says efficiency at the point of sale is the first tech consideration for retailers preparing to deal with a spike in customer traffic, such as those typically experienced in the two weeks leading up to 25 December.
He commented: "Liberty is a good example. They refreshed their tills because they weren't working quickly or reliably enough, and they felt they wouldn't cope with the Christmas rush.
"They've upgraded their 114 tills across their Regent Street store and the feedback already after a few weeks of usage is that the customer experience has improved. It's a lot quicker and queues are a lot shorter and they are not seeing as many abandoned baskets."
Mobile point of sale finally coming of age?
Mobile point of sale, where transactions are made away from a fixed till point and via a tablet device and payment terminal, have been viewed as a future queue-busting technique for a number of years now. But actual retailer adoption has been slow, with Schuh, Monsoon-Accessorize and Paperchase among a select few UK retailers that have deployed this technology to varying levels of success.
So, what has been holding up the roll-out of a technology that offers clear benefits for improving the in-store customer experience?
"We launched our tablet with payment last year and there has been huge interest in the hardware," explained Parmar.
"The real challenge for retailers has been the integration of mobile device with payment into existing legacy infrastructure."
Box Technologies is one of a significant number of companies looking to provide MPoS services for retailers, and the Oxfordshire-based vendor says it is working with payment processing provider Worldpay to bring such a service to market. Worldpay is reportedly securing integrations with software firms, such as K3 and PCMS, and there is real hope that next year will see a growing number of MPoS deployments where payment can be accepted away from a fixed till point.
Office shoes, for example, appears to be a prime candidate for using MPoS due to footwear retailing's historic model for clientelling, but it is presently using Box's tablet with docking station solution as a "micro till". In special preparation for this year's Christmas period, the retailer has deployed 30 tablets with docking stations which can be used by staff to combat high traffic levels and provide customers more points at which to interact with the brand.
"Retailers are going through a hybrid process because to get to mobile payment right now hasn't been as straight forward as we all would like," said Parmar.
"There are a lot of tech integration issues to address, but people now know what they are."
He described the process as "a complex project" but is confident the pain points have been identified and "next year is going to be the year of true transactional mobile".
The benefits of mobile till points at busy times of year are clear to see, but there will be an array of in-store innovation in retail outlets around the world this Christmas that has not been seen in abundance in previous years. The likes of virtual reality headsets and smart changing room mirrors to provide a communication channel between customers and store staff are increasingly cropping up at premium fashion stores in flagship shopping locations.
Much of it may not have such a practical use during the hustle and bustle of the high street in December, according to Parmar.
"Virtual reality sounds like nirvana because you don't need all the stock in store. It's almost like an endless aisle and you don't actually have to try things on, in terms of fashion," he remarked.
"This technology is perhaps for when there's more time to dwell in front of the mirror – it's more leisurely. At this time, people just want to be in and out very quickly. I can't see it aiding Christmas. But throughout the year when people are less stressed and have less urgency that's when they can engage with this technology to its full benefit."
He added: "A bigger topic in retail is how confident are staff in dealing with web-savvy customers who have done their research and who now have the upper hand.
"The challenge for retail this Christmas is to be prepared for all these tech-savvy customers and help them achieve a better customer experience."

Smartphone users, no matter their location, access the internet via mobile web and mobile apps at least once a day (mobile web: 88% and mobile apps: 84%) according to "Always On – A Global Perspective of Mobile Consumer Experience," an in-depth survey released today by IAB Global Research. This report was compiled from 18 countries around the world with respondents from North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Other key takeaways from the study include:
- 90% of smartphone users can recall seeing mobile ads within the first few days the ad was originally shown on mobile web and 86% on mobile apps
- Nearly half of survey respondents say they took action after seeing mobile advertising, specifically remembering the brand advertised, interacting with the ad, and visiting the website of the brand advertised
- Consumers use mobile apps for entertainment and social activities and mobile web for accessing information about education, work, current events and other relevant topics
The "Always On – A Global Perspective of Consumer Mobile Experience" study was released at the 2017 IAB Mobile Symposium in New York.

Churches in Vilnius, Lithuania
The churches here are beautiful and I love the architecture here. Most of the streets are cobblestone, of course flat shoe would be practical but I hate wearing flat shoes, I've brought a medium 2 inch heel for walking, not too high. It's the same problem in London, do I really want to wear high heels while walking all over London and waiting for the tube…but they look so good. I'm sure there is some type of status in who can wear the highest heels!
Anyway, there is something so romantic about cobblestone, it's other worldly and of course all the old
city centers feel that way. Even old Montreal, it's so charming, all the little streets but the building in Vinius like Riga are wonderful colours, I know it's not always sunny and so hot, but of course the colours work so well with a blue sky.

New York City Woman Dubbed 'Cornerstore Caroline' After Falsely Accusing a 9-Year-Old Boy of Sexual Assault
Permit Patty… BBQ Betty and now meet Cornerstore Caroline! Footage of a New York City women accusing a 9-year-old boy of sexual assault has gone viral, becoming another prime example of excessive 911 calls made against people of color and racial profiling.
53-year-old Teresa Klein has been dubbed "Cornerstore Caroline" after the video of her calling the police on Jeremiah Harvey was posted on Facebook. The video has gained national attention, being viewed over 8 million times and shared with over 100,000 people on Facebook.
In the video, Klein in seen arguing with Jeremiah's mother – Someko Bellille –after wrongly accusing the child of sexual assault. Jeremiah, who is black, is heard crying in the background as his mother argues with Cornerstore Caroline as she's attempting to contact the police.
"I want the cops here right now," Klein yelled. "I was sexually assaulted by a child!"
Days after the incident, Klein returned to the Brooklyn convenience store and viewed the surveillance video which clearly shows Jeremiah's backpack grazing her backside. Klein, who was met by outraged neighbors and media, apologized – simply saying "young man, I don't know your name, but I'm sorry."
NEW: Surveillance footage proves white woman who called 911 on a young black child claiming he groped her – was wrong @PIX11News #CornerstoreCaroline Full story at 5 pic.twitter.com/agTK0MpgUG
— Andrew Ramos (@AndrewRamosTV) October 12, 2018
During an interview with Good Morning America, 9-year-old Jeremiah and his mother explained that the incident will be difficult to overcome. "This is going to take some time. It's going to take a lot of healing," Bellille said.
Although the situation was traumatizing for the young boy, Jeremiah says he forgives Klein and plans to overcome the incident with love.
"Friendship is the key," he said. "It changed my whole mind of accepting the apology that she gave me,"

Art education has its roots in Massachusetts. Manufactures realized that skilled draftsmen and designers were needed for creating new products and expanding America's world market. Drawing was taught through imitation, drill and practice. John Dewey believed in a child-based method of teaching, based on the child's needs and self-expression. When the Soviets launched Sputnik, America was put in the "space race" and needed engineers and scientists. The shift in art education moved from "soft" and child-centered to DBAE (discipline-based art education), which has four criterion: art production, art criticism, aesthetics, and art history.
Laissez-faire art method means without interference or direction. Laissez-faire teachers give students the material, and it is up to the child to create a self-expressive work of art.
The goal of DBAE is to develop an understanding and appreciation for art. DBAE includes teaching theories, contexts, and the ability to create and respond to art. Course content is created around art criticism, art history, art techniques and the context the art was created in.
An authoritarian-dictatorial method of teaching is normally set aside for students who have a low art ability. This method of teaching dictates exactly what to do in a step-by-step manner and includes a lot of directions at every step.
Assigned Topic
The assigned topic or student-oriented method of teaching involves the teachers as a motivator. The teacher's job is to get their students to express themselves, develop their confidence, abilities and perception in art along with their knowledge, skill and attitudes toward art. In art history the teachers will teach chronologically starting from pre-history or thematic lessons around periods or styles.
Media Method
The media method of teaching is popular in higher levels of learning, and the lessons are created around a certain medium such as photography or ceramics. The focus is on knowledge surrounding that medium which includes various techniques, history and experimentation.
Facilitator Method
The facilitator method of teaching involves the student and teacher having a conference to decide the direction that particular student should go. This works well with higher learning and with students who are motivated or at an advanced level. The student chooses their media, topic and how to proceed with the help of the teacher.

Research may improve diagnosis of pediatric tumors
Jennifer Sanmann, Ph.D.
Jennifer Sanmann, Ph.D., has always been interested in helping children, from her early graduate work in speech impairments and language development to her current research on pilocytic astrocytomas, a subset of brain tumors in the pediatric population.
Now, with the help of the UNMC Department of Pediatrics Gladys Pearson Grant, she will be able to explore the creation of a diagnostic tool that will enhance treatment of these tumors, as well as ease uncertainty in the minds of these young patients, their family members and their parents.
Dr. Sanmann, an assistant professor at the Munroe-Meyer Institute and associate director of the Human Genetics Laboratory, will use the funding from the grant, which is offered to members of the UNMC faculty working on pediatric cancer and genetic research, to help differentiate pilocytic astrocytomas from other pediatric brain tumors.
"Pilocytic astrocytomas typically have a favorable prognosis," Dr. Sanmann said. "Surgeons can remove the tumor with a low likelihood of local recurrence, and kids typically do very well."
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to histopathologically differentiate these less aggressive tumors from other, more aggressive malignancies.
"Our goal is to see if there's a molecular signature that would help us to differentiate these pilocytic astrocytomas from other tumors that would require more aggressive adjuvant therapy," she said. "We hope genetics can help to design therapy, both by ensuring aggressive treatment when warranted but also by minimizing aggressive therapy when possible for lower grade tumors such as pilocytic astrocytoma."
Presently, the tumors are sent to a pathologist for examination and staging based on a variety of visual markers, including architecture and cell structure. Dr. Sanmann's goal is to establish a genetic profile to more definitely diagnose pilocytic astrocytoma that will work in concert with the traditional histopathological assessment.
"The project developed out of a conversation with the oncologists and pathologists at UNMC and Children's Hospital about their clinical needs and diagnostic challenges and how genetics may help meet those needs."
Dr. Sanmann is planning a two-year study that will compare the genetic signatures of 20 pediatric pilocytic astrocytomas to those of 20 other pediatric brain tumor samples of similar cell origin. She is in the process of finalizing the project with the Institutional Review Board and hopes to begin upon IRB approval.

THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! to Sail into Snapple Theater Center, Begin. 11/2
Off Sides Entertainment Inc. has announced that after highly successful runs at Planet Connections Theatre Festivity (garnering 10 award nominations, including Best Musical), the Crown and Anchor Theatre in Provincetown, MA, and following its second side-splitting season at the New York Renaissance Faire, an open-ended run of Christopher Leidenfrost's new half-scripted/half-improvised musical comedy, THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! will begin previews at the Snapple Theater Center on Saturday, November 2, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. The production will officially open on Thursday, November 5th at 8:00 p.m. The show will run Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays at 11 a.m. Rick Leidenfrost-Wilson will direct. www.greatestpiratestory.com
THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! is a madcap, musical adventure that revolves around Captain Henry Martin and his stalwart crew, who have been flung in to the future by a befuddled sea witch to perform the greatest pirate epic ever seen on stage. But with their script torn asunder, these pirates-turned-players are forced to improvise their show as it unfolds, based upon the audience's suggestions.
The cast of THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! features David Anthony, Rebeca Diaz, Christopher Leidenfrost, Risa Petrone, Kevin Maphis, and Dan Pivovar (who won Best Supporting Actor in a Musical for his performance at Planet Connections).
"I love this show because it's specifically written for both kids and adults," says the show's creator Christopher Leidenfrost. "We have over-the-top characters, rousing musical numbers, and crazy, slapstick comedy that never disengage the imaginations of our younger audience, but it's also filled with moments of wit and precision that grown-ups can appreciate and know are 'just for them.' Because the show is mostly improvised, it is quite literally never the same show twice. That's why we always say, 'The audience is at the helm!'"
THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! includes set design by KaTy Roberts, lighting design by Christopher Weston, sound design by Denis Zapeda, choreography by Risa Petrone, fight choreography by Randy Kiersnowski, costumes by Scott McNeill. Kristi Leigh is the stage manager.
Christopher Leidenfrost (Playwright) is a musical theatre and improv performer who has spent the last ten years as a professional pirate, traversing North America and the Caribbean with pistol and cutlass in tow. "GPSNT!" is the culmination of each of his passions brought together: musicals, improv and pirates. He has written and directed pirate-themed entertainments for the Pirates of the Hudson Festival, the New York Renaissance Faire, and his own company, Off Sides Entertainment, Inc. (including Island Federal Credit Union's award-winning "Tell Your Bank to Walk the Plank" campaign). He has most recently appeared as Nathan in Beautiful Soup Theatre Collective's revival of "Rags" and Dr. Alan Campbell in MTWork's "The Picture of Dorian Gray". In 2012, his portrayal of Whizzer in his company's revival of "Falsettos" at the Bleecker Street Theatre earned him a Best Supporting Actor award from Planet Connections Theatre Festivity.
Rick Leidenfrost-Wilson (Director) has directed internationally, regionally, and in New York. Regional productions have included Oklahoma! and The King and I for Lakes Region Summer Theatre, The Children's Hour for Lantern Theatre, and the 2012 revival of Falsettos, which played at the Bleecker Street Theatre (which won the Planet Connections Award for Outstanding Revival. He has also directed his own productions of Hockey: the musical! in Toronto and The Declaration at the Robert Moss (for which he won the Outstanding Theatre Activist Award for his work with Marriage Equality New York and the Stonewall Veterans Association). He is the owner/president of Off Sides Entertainment, Inc. and has produced a host of theatrical and commercial ventures. His professional affiliations have included Provincetown Theater Playwrights' Lab, Theatre Ontario, Primary Stages/ESPA, Cape Cod Writers Conference, the Long Island Writing Project, and he is a proud member of SAG/AFTRA.
Performances of THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! are on Thursdays at 8:00PM and Saturdays at 11:00AM.
Tickets for THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! are $59 and $99 and can be purchased online at Ticketmaster www.ticketmaster.com - http://www.ticketmaster.com/the-greatest-pirate-story-never-told-new-york-new-york-12-12-2013/event/03004B39E9A0F4A9, by calling 212.921.7862, or at the Snapple Theater Center prior to each performance and more information can be found at www.greatestpiratestory.com

Norway's Petroleumsoft to support Indian startups

- +0
In a bid to strengthen the startup culture in India, a Norway-based oil and petroleum firm is expanding its operations in the country to provide long-term financial, skill and emotional support to new Indian IT businesses. Petroleumsoft AS is providing long-term financial, skill and emotional support to IT startups in India.
A club-based membership, mentorship and seed-funding network is being put in place, initial phase of which is taking shape through Noida-based Startup Entrepreneurs which was launched in November. Petroleumsoft's sister company in India, Wesmarty Infotech, has already invested Rs 80 lacs in Startup Entrepreneurs, said Rameshwar Paswan, founder of the Norwegian company.
"Our Noida center is already operating, and we are now setting up a center in Gurgaon. This would be followed with centres in Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Kolkata and Chennai within five years," said Stavanger-based Paswan. "Our goal for strengthening the startup culture in India includes involving more and more startups and professionals from India and abroad," he said.
Elaborating on the Startup Entrepreneurs growth, he said "We are receiving continuous interest to join our club from different part of the world including India, Norway, US and South Africa." Startup Entrepreneurs' current footprints are primarily in India and Norway but its network is expanding rapidly with professionals from UK, US and the Middle East joining the grouping.
"Entrepreneurship is much more than just an idea or dream to build a business around that idea," said Paswan, adding that there are a number of skill, financial and market support requirements in succeeding the "dreamed business ideas". He conceded that over 90 per cent of the startups fail globally but assured that Startup Entrepreneurs' mentorship-led structure is designed to support and incubate new launches.

Do No Harm has been pulled from NBC's schedule after just two episodes.
The medical drama is a loose update of the Jekyll and Hyde story, with Steven Pasquale starring as tortured medic Dr Jason Cole and his alter ego Ian Price.
Do No Harm's debut severely underperformed, managing a score of only 0.9 (3.13m) in the 18-49 demographic at 10pm on January 31, and becoming the lowest-rated in-season premiere of any scripted show on the big networks ever.
The thriller's ratings then dropped even further for the second episode, with a 0.7.
NBC will run repeats of Law & Order: SVU in the 10pm slot on Thursdays for the next two weeks.
Watch confirmed at the end of 2012 that it had bought the rights to air Do No Harm in the UK.

Responsible investment strategies now account for 26% of all professionally managed assets globally, totaling US$22.82 trillion
Mercer, a global consulting leader in advancing health, wealth and career, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies (NYSE: MMC), is urging business leaders to move from a business as usual mindset to 'Business As Different' (B.A.D.) on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues.
With more than US$22 trillion[1] of assets (or 26% of all professionally managed assets globally) now being managed under sustainable investment strategies, it's clear that adopting ESG approaches has gone beyond theory and is fast capturing the attention of business leaders in Australia.
"Investing sustainably requires a Business As Different mindset," says Helga Birgden, Global Business Leader for Responsible Investment (RI) at Mercer. "It's about seeking to generate sustainable financial outcomes for beneficiaries, by thinking differently; taking off the blinkers and looking through a wide angle lens at risk and opportunity over the long-term."
"Every year the world seems to get faster and more uncertain", says Birgden. "But this shouldn't be an impediment to making strategic decisions today that are in the long-term interest. Leaving aside the moral arguments, investing should now be about risk mitigation and positioning portfolios for sustainable growth."
Recently voted a global leader in RI consulting[2], Mercer is seeing growing demand for RI advice from institutional investors such as pension funds, insurers, public sector funds, not-for-profits and tertiary education endowments. These investors are insisting their investment managers adopt a long-term mindset by integrating ESG factors into the investment decision making process and to consider sustainability-themed opportunities.
"ESG investing has gained significant traction over the years because of the role it plays in managing risk and creating value over the long-term," says Birgden.
"Importantly, there is a wealth of research by academics, asset managers and industry associations, such as the Investor Group on Climate Change, suggesting responsible investing does not come at a detriment to financial returns."
"Investors are waking up to the advantages of having a comprehensive ESG strategy implemented through their investment portfolio," she says.
Mercer notes there is growing evidence that companies and businesses with better ESG practices are associated with better corporate financial performance.
As evidence of this, over seven years to 30 April 2018, the Mercer Socially Responsible Australian Shares Fund has exceeded the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index by 2.5% per annum on a before fee basis.
Birgden says it's not only institutions that are seeing the need to do things differently. According to the RIAA's 2017 benchmark report, 92% of Australians expect their superannuation and other investments to be invested responsibly.
"Australians want ESG investment," she says. "Increasingly superannuation funds are integrating ESG across the portfolio and asset classes. It's clear that the shift is underway."
At Mercer, we think true leadership is about seizing the opportunities that arise from change - what we call 'Business As Different'. In order to have investment resilience going forward, Boards need to be up to speed with the pace of change when it comes to the stewardship aspects of investment. It's exciting to see many mainstream funds moving into this space and we expect many in the market will follow.

Notes for Editors:
Mercer has been ranked the top Investment Consulting Firm for Sustainable and Responsible Investment. This ranking comes from a 2017 survey run by Extel in conjunction with the industry website SRI Connect, surveying 1136 professionals across 43 countries.
The Mercer Socially Responsible Australian Shares Fund and Socially Responsible Global Shares Funds (Hedged and Unhedged) have both been certified by RIAA according to the strict operational and disclosure practices required under the Responsible Investment Certification Program.
Mercer was recently announced by the RIAA as a leader in RI, as one of only 13 funds with a comprehensive approach to RI.

Source: Better news on FDI front
Time was when reports from the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) were ignored or even ridiculed in the corridors of power – their bearded former chief economist, John Fitzgerald, was famously described by a former finance minister as a creeping Jesus. Now decision-makers hang upon their every word because of their unique capacity to model the impact of Brexit on the Irish economy. Their latest economic outlook looks at the likely impact on foreign direct investment (FDI) of a British withdrawal from the single market. The UK has the second largest stock of FDI in the world and the largest stock within the EU, accounting for 5.8 per cent of world FDI stocks and 18.7 per cent of EU FDI. International economic modelling based on OECD statistics suggests that in a redistribution of FDI across remaining EU members, Ireland would gain investments worth €22.4 billion over a period of years, adding 3% to GDP, 2.8% to exports and 1.8% to employment. This estimate is based on the known behaviour of multinational companies, not on the supposed poaching skills of Enterprise Ireland.

Joss Whedon is the creator of Buffy, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse, writer and director of The Avengers, a living geek legend and one of the most sought-after filmmakers in the world right now. But today he may have met his match in the form of a massive monster straight from the mind of a 5-year-old boy.
Whedon's usually the guy behind the camera, but today he lends his acting talents to "Scary Smash," a short film about a monster that terrorizes a town. Based on a story by a boy named Brett, the film is the first episode of the new web series "Written by a Kid," the latest addition to Whedon collaborator Felicia Day's YouTube channel Geek & Sundry.
Brett himself narrates the story of Gerald (Whedon), an intrepid SWAT team captain with a cool cowboy hat and lots of weapons who must take down a giant red monster with all sorts of frightening powers. The battle takes seven days and uses every weapon in his arsenal, but Gerald just won't give up. The short also stars Dave Foley as an unfortunate milkman and Kate Micucci as a nice lady who helps Gerald battle the monster. Also be on the lookout for Day in a brief cameo.
Check out the video below. We love most everything Whedon does, but he's probably never made anything this adorable in his entire career, and it's amazingly cool that he took time to be in this kid's movie.

We met a woman whose daughter was struggling in school with learning to read. The teacher had told her that her daughter was behind in letter and word recognition in comparison to the other children. The other students were ready to read and her daughter wasn't. This mother was very concerned but didn't know what to do to help her daughter. We asked if her daughter had books at home to look at. She said no for she thought that her daughter was too young to look at them. There was the source of the problem.
Children need to have books and toys. We left cloth and padded books along with toys in their cots. When they woke from a sleep we could hear them playing with their things. Usually they all ended up on the floor, which meant it was time for us to get them up but that took some time as they looked at and played with each item.
We would read to them, initially that meant pointing at the pictures and making animal noises. We also got them the wood puzzles with the pictures of various things that they could learn to put in place. All of these activities take time and one on one attention. You don't have to do it all day long but it should be done daily.
The other thing to be careful with is over stimulation. You can get so many toys, games, puzzles and books that they are overwhelmed by them all and don't really play with any of them. We would take one thing out at a time, play with it, put it back and take out another. It is a good way to teach your child how to put their toys away. At one point we split their toys up into groups as they got more and more of them. We would put one or two lots of toys away in a closet out of reach to them and keep one lot out. They would play with those for a month and then we would switch groups. For them it was like getting a whole new bunch of toys, which they enjoyed playing with again. Some times they have so much that they pull them all out on the floor, play with none and then leave the mess for you to clean up.
Clearing up and putting things away teaches them organisational skills and self-discipline. Every step from having books and toys, to playing with them together, to clearing away is teaching them skills for a lifetime.

Equipment for the Aladina ICU at Niño Jesús Hospital
Beds, cots, special stands… thanks to your help, the children's ward is now equipped with adapted features to improve the quality of life of the patients
We managed to raise the 30,000 euros! With your donation, we have purchased the material needed by the unit, helping children who have to spend time there to get the best possible treatment.
Thanks to you they now have ten beds for pediatric ICU patients, a polytrauma bed, a pediatric cot and several special stands to make it easier to feed the children.
The in-depth refurbishment of the Aladina ICU included improvements such as opening up areas of natural light, providing the unit with the latest technology and making family stays more comfortable by setting up rest areas for parents, comfortable chairs next to the beds, and blinds to separate the beds for privacy, helping as far as possible to make the ward a warm, private and family-oriented space.

Urban Ed has implemented a fresh new approach in response to the chronic truancy issues among youth from throughout the city. We work within both middle schools and high schools. For middle schools, we are now a part of the Stand Up Stand Out (SUSO) district-wide truancy initiative from the D.C. Justice Grants Administration. The initiative is designed to help parents get their children to school everyday and eliminate any barriers. Urban Ed's approach to supporting the reduction of truancy is to engage youth in a variety of technology-based activities. Youth are intrigued by the power of "techie" stuff which gives Urban Ed an excellent opportunity to capture their interest and inspire them to get involved. Through their initial involvement with us, our approach is to use technology as the tool to stimulate them to learn, encourage them to come to school and support their academic recovery through technology. We are implementing Tech Clubs within five middle schools throughout DC where youth learn coding, game and app development, web design, basic computer repair, digital music and a variety of other STEM-related topics.
For high schools, Urban Ed is implementing an IT vocational option to help non-college bound youth gain marketable skills before they graduate while also inspiring them to explore technology as a viable career option. We provide certification level training similar to our IT STEMAcad training program.
Enrollment in our TechnoAcademy is by referral of school attendance counselors and guidance counselors. For more information email Ms. Boma Saka at email@example.com or call us at 202-610-2344.

Virgin Mobile has three Beyond Talk messaging phones on sale for $49.99 now through Monday, Feb 27, while supplies last.
The sale phones (pictured above, clockwise from upper left) are the:
Samsung Restore (reg 79.99) QWERTY slider 2.4", 240x320 screen, 2.1 MP camera, 3G (EVDO rev 0)
LG Rumor Touch (reg $79.99) QWERTY slider 3", 240x320 screen, 2.1 MP camera, 3G (EVDO rev 0)
LG Rumor 2 (reg $89.99) QWERTY slider 2.", 240x320 screen, 1 MP camera, 2G (1xRTT)
All three phones are fairly similar and have slide out QWERY keyboards, 240x320 screens, a camera and MP3 player. You can compare the features here using Phonescoop. The Rumor Touch has a bigger screen and its a touch screen, however the Restore is newer and gets much better user reviews.
In spite of it's higher list price, the Rumor 2 is an older less capable model and there is little reason to choose it unless you're a Virgin PayLo customer. That's because the Rumor 2 is the only one of the three sale phones that can be activated on either PayLo or Beyond Talk.
