The State of Connecticut Public Act 2202-125 (P.A. 02-125) included a requirement for the Connecticut Department of Public Health to establish a quality of care program for health care facilities. The law requires the implementation of adverse event reporting by hospitals and outpatient surgical facilities. Mandatory adverse event reporting was implemented in October 2002. In May 2004, Public Act 2004-164 (P.A. 04-164) was enacted to revise the definition of reportable adverse events.

Marin County Parks Open Space Leash Policy: Dogs on leash are welcome to enjoy trails. Dogs are allowed off-leash under strict voice control on fire protection roads. Please follow posted rules.
This 403 acre preserve was added to the MCOSD system in 2000. It incorporates the south-facing slope above the western end of the San Geronimo Valley.
Together with the Gary Giacomini and Roy's Redwoods Preserves, these lands constitute a major portion of the Lagunitas Creek watershed, so management practices in this area involve protecting and improving habitat for the endangered coho salmon.
At the western end of the preserve is a steep slope that includes significant areas of exposed serpentine. The unique soil derived from this mineral supports many rare plants, including serpentine reedgrass, Tiburon buckwheat, and Tamalpais lessingia.
The French Ranch Fire Road allows access to the ridge overlooking the valley; it runs alongside a deep, forested canyon that is a haven for wildlife among the plentiful Douglas fir, redwood, oak, and tanoak trees.
The fire road that runs along the ridge passes in and out of private property along the border of the preserve. Please be respectful of our neighbors if you use this road to access or exit this preserve.
Take the Sir Francis Drake Blvd exit west past Fairfax and turn right at Nicasio Valley Road. MCOSD gate is on the left.
• Parking: Limited to the side of the road.
• Fee: None
• Water: Bring your own
• Best time of year for this hike: Nice year round but watch out for foxtails during the summer, shade is also limited.
• Degree of difficulty: Easy

North Korea was unable to successfully test a missile over the weekend, but the country has been able to force President Trump off his campaign promises.
There were times when candidate Trump seemed to be running more against China than against Hillary Clinton. In May last year, he said, "we can't continue to allow China to rape our country."
And in his "Contract with the American Voter," he promised that on day one of his administration he would direct his treasury secretary "to label China a currency manipulator."
Now that he needs China's help with North Korea, Mr. Trump tweeted on Sunday, "Why would I call China a currency manipulator when they are working with us on the North Korean problem?"
Mr. Trump has been pressuring China to take action on North Korea. Earlier last week, he tweeted that the country "is looking for trouble."
"If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A." he tweeted, echoing remarks he made earlier in April that the U.S. is prepared to act alone.
Vice President Mike Pence, who is in South Korea as part of a 10-day-trip to Asia, said Monday that the "era of strategic patience is over" with North Korea.
A former U.S. ambassador to South Korea has warned that the regime's nuclear program has "accelerated in recent months."
"They're really going full throttle for a nuclear option that could include holding the U.S. at risk," said Christopher Hill, now dean of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver.
"What needs to be done now is a real full-court press with the Chinese, and what's very, very important is to work closely with the South Koreans because every option may be on the table, but we don't have the option of doing something without consulting with them," he said.


text: Guest Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) I know that I've made this topic before with The Black Cauldron being the contender, but what if I told you that there's an even more obscure property that could make it as the new world? I present to you this movie. So, why do I think this movie fits the bill? for starters, it's a Fairy Tale movie so it fits with the theme of the rest of the Disney properties featured, but more importantly, this may be the world where Pete was transported to. Think about it, the real Maleficent is in the Enchanted Dominion projected by The Book of Prophecies (whilst the projection Maleficent exists there), but as everyone knows, Pete didn't come along with her. So where could Pete be? maybe in a projection of an alternate world featuring him? Plus, this world fits the bill of Disney cast based world's like Disney Castle, Disney Town and Country of the Musketeers.

Under-pressure Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer is ready to bid for Jose Fonte to save his job.
De Boer, 47, is yet to win a Premier League game at Palace after three straight losses without scoring.
The Dutchman is already fighting a major battle to save his job after unsuccessfully trying to change Palace's style.
He wants to make several signings ahead of Thursday's deadline in a bid to turn around Palace's season and save his neck after a dire home loss to Swansea.
Palace are now keen to bring Portuguese stopper Fonte, 33, back to the club from West Ham.
Fonte swapped Southampton for West Ham in January in an £8million switch.
But he has made just one league start this term and was an unused sub in Saturday's 3-0 loss at Newcastle.
Fonte had a successful previous spell at Selhurst Park from 2007-2010 before moving to the South Coast.
His potential arrival would be a huge boost for De Boer, who lasted just three months at Inter Milan last season before being axed after 14 games.

The Nigerian Senate In Wednesday, passed a resolution calling on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to suspend the excessive ATM card maintenance charges being deducted from customers.
The resolution came as part of a motion on the illicit and excessive bank charges on customers accounts, sponsored by Senator Olugbenga Ashafa (Lagos East, APC).
The Senate also called on commercial banks operating in the country to configure their machines to dispense up to N40,000 per withdrawal pending the outcome of the investigation by the Senate committees tasked with investigating the excessive and illicit bank charges.
Speaking on the Motion, the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki said: "This is a motion that affects the lives of every Nigerian — irrespective of what part of the country you come from or whatever political affiliation you might have. This is why we are here: to always defend and protect the interests of the Nigerian people."
The Senate President stated that the Senate must work to ensure that the resolutions on the excessive bank charges goes beyond the debate stage, so that whatever action the Upper Legislative Chamber takes, would come into effect.
"This Senate has done this many times before; when there was a hike in the mobile telecommunication data charges, we intervened and put an end to that. When there were discrepancies and increases in electricity prices, we also took action. We have done this on a number of similar cases. Therefore, on this, I want us to take effective resolutions," Saraki said.
Other Senators who contributed to the debate, called on banks to review their charges.
"The common man is also a victim," said Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, "Banks declare profits and you wonder where these profits are coming from — it's from the sweat of the common man. Let us come up with a law that puts banks on their toes."
"It won't be out of place to institute a committee that will call on the CBN to tell us what these charges are about. The Senate by fiat should abolish charges if they can't be verified," said Senator Bala Ibn Na'Allah.
"The Senate must take a serious stand on this issue. Nigerians are really suffering. The banking system is not encouraging. I had an issue, took it to the bank and was refunded but how many Nigerians can do this? The issue needs to be addressed," stated Senator Kabiru Gaya.
"For me, this is a major step that we are taking. This is because I introduced the first ATM machine that came into Nigeria over 25-years ago," the Senate President, Dr. Saraki told his colleagues, "Now, after 25-years, we should have grown out of these excessive charges and moved on. So, I believe that this is something that we must address to create an environment that protects all Nigerians, because these kind of charges in this economy affects everyone."
The Senate further directed its Committees on Banking, Insurance and other Financial Institutions and Finance to conduct an investigation into the propriety of ATM card maintenance charges in comparison with international best practices and report back to the Senate.
The Senate also directed the aforementioned committees to invite the Governor of the CBN to appear before it to explain why the official charges as approved by the CBN are skewed in favour of the banking institutions as against the ordinary customers of the banks.
Finally, the Senate called on the Consumer Protection Council to look into the various complaints of excess and unnecessary charges by Nigerian Banks.

Zimbabwe will not import maize as it has become food secure, with farmers having so far delivered 1,1 million tonnes to the Grain Marketing Board for the 2018 marketing season, thanks to the successful Command Agriculture programme.
GMB officials said they expected the delivered maize to reach 1,2 million tonnes as farmers continue to bring the grain to the depots.
GMB general manager Mr Rockie Mutenha said that they were paying farmers for grain delivered within a week. "We have received 1 111 809 tonnes of maize from farmers since the beginning of the marketing season on April 1 and are expecting to reach to 1 180 000 tonnes," he said.
"During the same period last year, GMB had received 1 091 349 tonnes of maize. Our maize stock were 1 314 383 tonnes of maize including the Strategic Grain Reserve."
This means that the country is now food self-sufficient and will not import grain. During the past years, farmers preferred selling to intermediaries who offered cash on the spot, as GMB took long to pay.
This time around, GMB has been paying farmers early, a move that encouraged more to deliver the grain directly to its depots.
"GMB is buying maize, red sorghum, white sorghum, rapoko and millet at $390 per tonne. The parastatal is also buying soyabeans at $780 per tonne," said Mr Mutenha.
The GMB boss said there was no need for farmers to sell their maize to unscrupulous business people who offered low prices, as GMB was paying timeously. He said the producer price of $390 per tonne was only meant to benefit genuine farmers.
At the beginning of the grain marketing season, the Agricultural Marketing Authority indicated that no one else was allowed to buy maize except those who contracted farmers. Maize production in Zimbabwe has been on the increase since the advent of Command Agriculture.
The brainchild of President Mnangagwa, Command Agriculture has also rescued thousands of farmers who would have failed to productively use their land owing to funding challenges. Banks were hesitant to extend loans to the farmers.
Those offering loans demanded collateral security in the form of immovable properties, which most farmers do not have. This has made borrowing by farmers expensive. Through Command Agriculture, Government avails farmers with all the necessary inputs.
The programme has seen the country harvesting enough maize for consumption and there is potential to export the surplus. Prior to the introduction of Command Agriculture, Zimbabwe failed to produce enough grain for consumption, forcing it to import from neighbouring countries and beyond.
President Mnangagwa is on record as stating that through Command Agriculture, Zimbabwe will never import maize.

One of the most vexatious ironies about Nigeria – perhaps even an embarrassment – is the lack of a national airline. Nigerians are often very piqued to be travelling on airlines owned by smaller less resource-endowed African countries.
Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda and South Africa national carriers are some of the big players on the continent.
Foreign airlines do well from the large and growing number of Nigerian passengers. For instance, Emirates flies twice a day from Lagos, with over 12,000 passengers per week.
Many Nigerians were, therefore, elated when the Nigerian government announced during the 2018 International Air Show in London that it intended to establish a new national airline to be named Nigeria Air.
The new national airline was expected to be jointly owned by the government and unnamed private investors at a cost of USD$300 million. To ensure that it didn't run into the same set of problems that spelled the doom of Nigeria Airways in 2003, private investors were to hold a majority stake in the new venture. This was no doubt to shield the fledgling airline from undue interference by the government.
I was among some of those who were sceptical about the revival plan. Two previous attempts to resuscitate Nigeria Airways had been unsuccessful. So it came as no surprise when the government announced it was abandoning its latest effort. Many of the structural and institutional deficiencies that caused the collapse of Nigeria Airways remain.
Additionally, the global airline industry has become fiercely competitive, and new entrants would have a very hard time surviving. According to FlightGlobal, 37 airlines ceased operations in 2017 alone.
Growth, middle class and air travel
Impressive economic growth within the past two decades in Africa has spurred demand for air travel. Foreign airlines that used to shun the continent are now scrambling for a share of the market. Average annual growth in passenger air travel in Africa is estimated at 7.5%, compared with a global average of 7.9% in 2017. To meet the increasing demand for air travel in Africa, the region would need about 970 new passenger aircraft (worth USD$126 billion) by 2032.
Despite this unprecedented growth in air travel, the market in Africa is still untapped. Although the continent constitutes about 12% of the world's population, air travel in Africa is only 1% of the global air travel market.
Foreign airlines are now picking up the slack left by defunct national carriers in Africa. This has included US airlines like Delta Airlines and Continental, among others.
Demand in Africa is expected to continue to grow, due mainly to a phenomenal increase in the size of Africa's middle class. It's estimated that the middle class in Africa and the Middle East will more than double, from 137 million in 2013 to 341 million in 2030.
Nigeria deserves a share of this growing market, especially given its desire to diversify its economy away from oil and gas. This is one of the reasons why Nigerians were excited about the prospects of reentering the global airline market.
But disappointment was waiting in the wings.
Dashed hopes
On September 19 the government announced it was jettisoning the whole idea of a national airline. No formal reason has been given for the abrupt change in course. But there's speculation that the government was hard-pressed to attract willing joint-venture partners.
In fact, it's not difficult to fathom that the idea of a national airline in Nigeria is purely a mirage. Nearly all the problems that beset Nigeria Airways, and which eventually resulted in its demise in 2003, are still present.
One is monumental corruption. Airline officials were accused of regularly inflating contracts for a cut of the contract sum, kickbacks for contract awards, and outright theft of revenues generated from airline operations.
Another problem that undermined the performance of Nigeria Airways, and which the new airline would also have to face, is crass nepotism. During the Nigeria Airways era, company officials were dolling out free or heavily subsidised airline tickets to friends, family members and the political elites.
The toxic combination of inflated contracts and lost revenues made the airline insolvent. This meant that it frequently needed an infusion of government cash. With declining revenues and meagre government subsidies, the airline was unable to service or replenish its ageing fleet. At a particular point, it had more grounded planes than the ones that were operational.
The current Nigerian government faces very serious fiscal constraints. It's therefore not in a position to subsidise a complex project like a new national airline.
Tough competition
Another reason why it would have been an uphill task for Nigeria to sustain a national carrier is the fact that the competitive landscape in the global airline industry has changed dramatically since the days of Nigeria Airways. There are now far more competitors.
A new national carrier in Nigeria would have to compete with a host of new airlines. Learning how to compete in a crowded market would certainly be a herculean task for a new national airline. This would become particularly onerous given that many foreign airlines are heavily subsidised by their own governments.
Given all these facts, it hardly seems likely that a new national carrier in Nigeria will fly in the foreseeable future.

China is likely to boost imports from African countries as it seeks new sources of commodities in the wake of a trade war with the United States, a senior executive of Standard Chartered Bank in China said.
Trade links between the Asian economic powerhouse and African nations like Kenya have been growing robustly in recent years, offering opportunities to lenders who serve Chinese clients doing business on the continent like Standard Chartered.
Carmen Ling, Standard Chartered's global head of the internationalisation of the Chinese currency renminbi (RMB), cautioned there would be no winners from the trade war in the short term, but added some African nations could gain in the long term.
"We believe that countries like Kenya and Nigeria will benefit because China will look to import more from Africa; some agricultural products from Kenya, some oil products from Nigeria," she told Reuters late on Monday.
"Trade flow patterns will change because China will need to look for new trade partners."
Kenya's trade with China grew 59 percent in the four years to 2017, to a total of $5.2 billion, Standard Chartered said, boosting the bank's business from Chinese clients operating in Kenya by "double digits".
The East African nation turned to China over the past few years for funds, technology and equipment to develop its infrastructure, including its biggest project since independence, a $3.2 billion railway linking Mombasa to Nairobi, which was opened last year.
"We see more and more Chinese clients coming to Kenya, we have seen Kenya grow in importance to become a belt and road hub. This is the gateway ," said Ling.
She was referring to China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative, a multi-billion dollar series of infrastructure projects upgrading land and maritime trade routes between China and Europe, Asia and Africa.
The initiative has caused anger in some quarters with critics saying it increases China's loans to African nations, placing a debt burden on future generations.
Ling decried the slow adoption of the RMB in trade settlements for deals between China and Africa, partly blaming the problem on lack of adequate clearing houses for the currency.
Sweden's Volvo warned on Tuesday that some of its truck and bus engines could be exceeding limits for nitrogen oxide emissions as an emissions control component it uses was degrading more quickly than expected, sending its shares lower.
The company, which makes trucks, construction equipment and buses, said the largest volume of potentially affected engines had been sold in North America and Europe, its two largest markets, and that costs to fix the problem "could be material".
The issue could become an added headache for Volvo, which has been working hard to protect profitability after a surge in demand in Europe and North America caused supply chain bottlenecks, inflating costs for raw materials and labour. Several countries have in recent years set ambitious goals to cut carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions, bringing carmakers and truckmakers under greater scrutiny.
The car industry was rocked by the 2015 "dieselgate" emissions scandal after Germany's Volkswagen was forced to pay hefty fines after admitting to systematic emissions cheating. Volkswagen, which has pegged the financial toll at over $18 billion, is still dealing with the fallout of the scandal.
There was no indication on Tuesday that Volvo had cheated or hidden any emissions related information from authorities.
Volvo said all products equipped with the component met emissions limits at delivery and that its probe so far indicated that the degradation was not affecting all vehicles and engines in the same way and to the same extent.
The company had begun speaking to relevant authorities in Europe and North America, where emission regulations are strictest, a spokesman said.
An European Commission spokeswoman said the body would contact the Swedish authorities to gather more information, while Reuters was not immediately able to reach North American authorities outside of regular business hours.
The problem was with a catalyst converter sourced from an external provider, Volvo investor relations director Anders Christensson said, declining to name the provider or say whether Volvo would terminate the relationship.
"In certain applications when the engine is not running hot enough you get condensation water in there and that causes this problem. You get a warning signal in the dashboard saying you're running above nitrogen oxide levels," he explained.
Kepler Cheuvreux analyst Mats Liss said the question was whether the whole catalyst needed to be replaced or just one component, estimating the total cost for Volvo would be at least "a couple of thousands (of crowns) per truck instantly".
The Volvo spokesman said there were no plans yet to recall any vehicles and had not been asked by authorities to do so. Volvo sold 143,373 trucks in Europe and North America last year and reported operating income of 30.3 billion Swedish crowns.
The company's shares were down 5.3 percent at 134 pence on 0917 GMT, making it easily the biggest lower on Stockholm's bluechip index <.PL.OMXS30> on Tuesday.
It is due to report third-quarter results on Friday.
Analysts also speculated that an external supplier could mean that the problem was widespread and hit German truck rivals Volkswagen and Daimler. Volkswagen and Daimler did not immediately return calls seeking comments.

Australia seizes $1 billion of meth in its largest ever bust
SYDNEY Australia has seized more than A$1 billion (S$1.04 billion) of methamphetamine in its biggest bust of the highly addictive drug, police said yesterday.
Commonly known as Ice, the massive 1.2 tonne haul was intercepted after being offloaded from a ship, the Valkoista, which the authorities believe came from China.
Australia has the world's highest per capita consumption of crystal meth and the country has become an increasingly attractive destination for drug-smugglers, with street prices soaring.
Much of the Ice hitting its streets come from China and the Golden Triangle region, where the borders of Myanmar, Thailand and Laos meet.
Eight Australian men were charged with either importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, or possessing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug.
They face life in jail.
The seizure capped a six-month investigation with Australian Federal Police Deputy Commissioner Leanne Close alleging the ringleaders had been taken out.
"It equates to probably about A$1b of border controlled drugs that are no longer going to be on the streets of Australia over the Christmas period," she said.
"Police will allege in court that these men intended to distribute the drugs along the east coast of Australia."
The Valkoista arrived at the port of Geraldton in Western Australia in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The drugs were allegedly loaded into a white van before tactical response officers swooped in, arresting three men inside.
Simultaneously, they boarded the boat and detained three crew members, with two others arrested at a hotel in Perth.
The previous biggest meth bust was 903kg, found in Melbourne earlier this year. - AFP

This work compares the diagnostic performance of adenosine-free coronary pressure wire indices based on lesion location.Several adenosine-free coronary pressure wire indices have been proposed to assess the functional significance of coronary artery lesions; however, there is a theoretical concern that lesion location and the mass of perfused myocardium may affect diagnostic performance.A total of 763 patients were prospectively enrolled from 12 institutions. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and contrast-based FFR (cFFR) were obtained during adenosine-induced maximal hyperemia and contrast-induced submaximal hyperemia respectively, whereas the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) and distal pressure/aortic pressure (Pd/Pa) were obtained at rest. Using an FFR of =0.80 as a reference standard, the diagnostic accuracy of each index was compared based on lesion location (left main or proximal left anterior descending artery [LM/pLAD] compared with other lesion locations).The median FFR, cFFR, iFR, and Pd/Pa were 0.81 (interquartile range [IQR]: 0.74 to 0.87), 0.86 (IQR: 0.79 to 0.91), 0.90 (IQR: 0.85 to 0.94), and 0.92 (IQR: 0.88 to 0.95), respectively. The cFFR, iFR, and Pd/Pa were less accurate in LM/pLAD compared with other lesion locations (cFFR: 80.3% vs. 87.8%; iFR: 73.3% vs. 81.8%; Pd/Pa: 71.4% vs. 81.1%, respectively). By receiver-operating characteristics curve analysis, cFFR provided better diagnostic accuracy than resting indices regardless of lesion location (p =0.0001 vs. iFR and Pd/Pa for both groups).The cFFR, iFR, and Pd/Pa are less accurate in LM/pLAD compared with other lesion locations, likely related to the larger amount of myocardium supplied by LM/pLAD. Nevertheless, cFFR provides the best diagnostic accuracy among the adenosine-free indices, regardless of lesion location.

President Trump has announced his long-awaited plan to make drug prices more affordable. Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, the President assailed drug companies as long profiting, unfairly he says, off of the American people.
"The drug lobby is making an absolute fortune at the expense of American consumers. We are putting American patients first," he said.
Among some of the policies the President proposed is requiring drug companies to disclose their pricing in television ads and tougher measure preventing drug companies from delaying less expensive, generic versions of their drugs from coming to market.
Much of the White House's proposals do not target drug makers directly, focusing instead on middlemen in the U.S. drug industry known as pharmacy benefit managers. PBM's have largely been criticized for the lack of transparency in their pricing schemes and process.
"The middlemen became very, very rich," the President said. "They're rich. They won't be so rich anymore."
Stocks of the major drug companies were largely up after the announcment, an indication that the President's plan, at least from investors' point of view, is not seen as a major threat to industry profits.
That sentiment of "mixed reviews" was echoed in statement by David Mitchell, a patient with incurable cancer and founder of drug price advocacy group Patients For Affordable Drugs.
"Today's announcement contains some good, some bad, and some missing components to lower drug prices," Mitchell told ITN. "We hope to work with the Administration to strengthen the policies that work, add those that are missing, and remove the idea that other countries should pay more because they negotiate with drug corporations."
President Trump also called for more competition in Medicare Part B, the part of Medicare that covers drugs dispensed in doctor's offices. Medicare Part B is under current criticism for driving up medicine costs.
Former President Obama proposed reforms to the program in 2016 but eventually relented in the face of severe pressure from doctors and drug companies.

Păreri despre "RIBS"
Dry ribs, the plateau had smaller ribs, burgers very low quality. Do not taste the cider!
Mancarea a fost delicioasa, dar a venit destul de greu. Atmosfera placuta, servire buna. Recomand!
I would have given 3 stars if I haven't felt so bad after. Me and my girlfriend ordered BBQ Ribs and Pancho Turkey with fries and different types of sauces. Everything was literally full of grease. It is the first time that I feel like I am drinking oil instead of eating.
The Ribs were cold, very, very fat, tasteless and with nothing special. They should learn from Energiea how to make Ribs.
The fried potatoes were full of oil. They were shining from so much oil. Never happened to me to eat homemade fried potatoes with this amount of oil. Again learn from Energiea, Dianei 4, etc., how to make fried potatoes.
The turkey was also cold, plain with not sufficient salt or condiments. It came with mashed potatoes, cold as well.
The sauces - the ones from KFC are more natural than these.
In the end I came up feeling bloated and with nausea.
The staff on the other hand was friendly and careful.

European envoys have again failed to persuade Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment activities.
The envoys from France, Britain, and Germany offered Iran a trade deal and help building a nuclear reactor in exchange for an end to Iranian enrichment activities.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says his country will stop negotiating if the envoys press on with their demand for a long-term suspension.
The United States says Iran is secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons, a charge the Tehran government denies.
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell says he believes the entire world wants to see the situation resolved peacefully. He added that he has seen no information that Israeli plan to launch a pre-emptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The boom box was one of the most prolific pieces of tech back the epic era of the 80s. You could not miss them. They took over your shoulder with bulk and plastic. Anyone caught within the radius of someone spreading musical love with a boom box, would be encapsulated in nothing but bass and power.

The boombox 2020 was meant to do just that, start a party anywhere, at any time. So if you are looking for the power to turn up a gathering in the palm of your hand, this is it.

CGGC Seminar: Improving the Upper Bound on the Number of Polycubes
- Speaker:
- Mira Shalah (Stanford University)
- Date:
- Wednesday, 12.9.2018, 13:30
- Place:
- Taub 401
A d-dimensional polycube is a facet-connected set of cells (cubes) on the d-dimensional cubical lattice. Let Ad(n) denote the number of d-dimensional polycubes (distinct up to translations) with n cubes, and λd denote the limit of the ratio Ad(n+1)/Ad(n) as n approaches infinity. The exact value of λd is still unknown rigorously for d ≥ 2; the asymptotics of λd, as d approaches infinity, also remained elusive as of today.
In this talk, I will show how we revisit and extend the approach presented by Klarner and Rivest in 1973 to bound A2(n) (the number of polyominoes with n squares) from above. Our contributions are:
• Using available computing power, we prove that λ2 ≤ 4.5252. This is the first improvement of the upper bound on λ2 in almost half a century;
• We prove that λd ≤ (2d−2)e+o(1) for any value of d ≥ 2, using a novel construction of a rational generating function which dominates that of the sequence (Ad(n));
• For the case of d = 3, this provides a subtantial improvement of the upper bound on λ3 from 12.2071 to 9.8073;
• We implement an iterative process in three dimensions, which improves further the upper bound on λ3 to 9.3835;
This work was done jointly with Gill Barequet (Technion, Haifa).

Even though you will spend far less on a small house rather than a traditional-size house, you need to go into the handle the understanding that you might not receive a good return on investment if you choose to sell. Building small houses is becoming more and more popular.

Well, hello there...
my name is Autumn Locke.
I'm just your average girl, planted here in the Midwest with my love and two babies. My inspiration is born out of some of the simplest moments: driving the backroads by my house as the sun is setting, holding my baby as my toddler leans over to give her a kiss, reaching for my husbands hand and remembering the day I put a ring on his finger. Each of these daily experiences and many more fill my heart and that overflows into my art.
I've always viewed the world in a romantic way. I grew up in just a normal suburban house that backed up to some woods, a "creek", and a field but you would think it was the wild country-side of Scotland the way I talked about it. That 1 acre of land was a playground for my dreamers heart. I'll have you keep in mind, I am the girliest tom-boy you will ever meet. You would definitely find me in a dress covered in dirt "planting" gardens, building bridges over the creek and telling stories to my siblings and the neighborhood kids up until the last ray of light left the sky.
Truth be told, I've always lost myself in a good story, which it's no surprise that I have often found myself during a session (probably wearing flip flops in a field), with tall grass up to my waist, watching the glowy light envelope my clients, and thought to myself "Am I in a dream? No literally. This is dreamy... I'm capturing this dream right now!"
I do love photographing people in natural environments, maybe it's that little girl in me, covered in dirt dreaming of a good adventure, but it's where I feel most connected and inspired.
And if I just lost you and you are thinking: ME? In a field? It's not about the field or the light (although I have a sweet spot for both) it's about the story I'm honored to capture by the interaction that you are sharing with your loved ones. Honest. Your story inspires me, and I'll never take the opportunity you have given me to capture your answered prayers for granted.
My goal is to capture my clients in an authentic, intimate, beautiful way that will remind them of that moment and take their breathe away again, and again.
A few more details about me...
I have a slight obsession with home decor. Just ask me about some of my favorite local thrift stores.
I love country music but you can often find me car dancing with my windows down to some Bruno Mars.
Coffee+Autumn = A happy productive human being. (even if it has been microwaved 8768736846 times)
I have two sweet little babes, Kaden&Blaire & I'm completely aware of how MOM my insta/facebook has become.
My husband, Kellen & I enjoy going to our favorite all you can eat sushi place and eating until we almost puke.
This is usually followed by binge-watching a TV show on Prime/Netflix...I know...SO extreme.
God is my source of strength and I give Him all the praise for any victory in my personal life&business.
My laugh kind of sounds like a seal, no really, and I'm really sorry because you will probably hear it.
I'm an ENFP (myers briggs) and yes, I am one of those people.
My husband is a Police Officer, making me a proud member of the BLUE line family and I offer discounts to all first responders/military.

Loula & Kosta Wedding Loula said… The Band was amazing, the MC was great, and they even surprised us with an Albanian singer, as my husband is Albanian and we wanted to make sure both cultures were represented. There was a pretty even split between Greek and Albanian music, and then some top 40s towards the end. I love that the clarinet player came outside on the porch while we were doing the Napoleon dance on the back deck. Absolutely wonderful. Debbie (brides mother) said… Nikos Koutras band did a wonderful job at my daughter's wedding. We had an 8 piece band and the MC was just as wonderful. They did a great job in mixing Greek and Albanian and American music so that everybody had at if fun and didn't feel left out.

Hillary Clinton in pole position ahead of today's US Presidential Election
- Retour à la page d'accueil du Blog
- Latest
Democrat Hillary Clinton held onto her slender lead over Republican Donald Trump on Monday, with polls officially opening in the US today as Americans cast their vote in the 58th US Presidential Election.
Eleventh hour opinion surveys in the run up to the election remain tight. Clinton continues to hold only a very slender advantage, with Bloomberg's final poll giving her a three point lead.
FiveThirtyEight, a US opinion poll website which generates probabilities on the outcome of the election, currently gives Clinton around a 70% chance of victory (Figure 1). Betting odds have diverged and now give her closer to an 85% chance following the news over the weekend that she'll face no criminal charges over her private email server.
Figure 1: FiveThirtyEight US Presidential Election Odds (June '16 – November '16)
In the event of a Clinton win in the early hours of tomorrow morning, we would expect a relief rally in the US Dollar and emerging market currencies in general. This would probably prove short lived given her victory is largely priced in by the markets.
By contrast, a Trump win could trigger an uncertain and volatility trading environment. There would likely be a flight to safe havens, while the US Dollar would no doubt suffer as investors begin discounting the possibility of an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in December.
Regardless of the outcome, we expect volatility to remain high as the results begin to hit the newswires just after midnight UK time, with the final outcome likely to be announced at around 4:00 UK time on Wednesday morning.
Yesterday, the US Dollar strengthened across the board, with investors also piling back into the Mexican Peso on expectations that Hillary Clinton will be named as the next US President. The Peso, which has emerged as the main proxy for betting on the US election, has returned to a near two week high. The safe haven Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen both sold-off sharply, while emerging market currencies rallied.
Major currencies in detail:
Sterling slumped 0.3% against a resurgent US Dollar on Monday.
In the domestic economy, house price growth slipped to a three year low yesterday according to Halifax. Price growth fell to 5.2% in the year to October from 5.8% in the previous month, largely due to increasingly constrained demand.
Industrial and manufacturing production figures this morning are likely to take a backseat due to the election. With announcements in the UK relatively light this week, attention will be mainly on political developments.
A broadly stronger Dollar caused the Euro to slump 0.2% on Monday.
Yesterday's retail sales report in the Eurozone came in slightly better than expected, fuelling hope of an economic recovery in the Euro-area. Sales came in slightly below expectations at 1.1% in the year to September, although this was more than made up by a sharp upward revision in August's number.
Meanwhile, ECB member Lautenschlager seemingly dismissed the possibility of an immediate change in interest rates, claiming it would stifle the economic recovery.
Trade data out of Germany and France this morning will be the only major announcement out of the Eurozone today.
The US Dollar strengthened 0.4% against its major peers yesterday as hopes of a Hillary Clinton election victory began to grow.
All economic data today will be completely overshadowed by election expectations.
We think the main movements in the currency markets will centre on the exit poll results for the key swing states. Florida (midnight Uk time), North Carolina (00:30 UK time), Pennsylvania and Michigan (both 1:00 UK time) will be the ones to look out for. A victory for Trump in any of these swing states could take the result down to the wire, the uncertainty of which would keep pressure firmly on the US Dollar.

You missed visiting bombed-out, rubble-strewn Berlin post-1945? Don't worry. You'll have another chance, just a few short years down the road, to see entire empty neighborhoods comprised of falling-down, abandoned buildings.
New York City had square miles of buildings like that, back in the 1970s, thanks to Rent Control.
When Government Price Controls gift tenants with give-away rents and buildings' incomes fail to suffice to pay taxes and buy heating oil, their owners have no choice but to walk away. Nobody wants to abandon valuable real estate, but when the Government expropriates all the income and destroys a property's value, abandonment becomes inevitable. In NYC, countless thousands of buildings, entire neigborhoods, were once boarded up and abandoned. Berlin's turn is obviously coming.
Germany's capital is taking extreme measures to stay (relatively) affordable and not go the way of San Francisco or London. Beginning in early 2020, Berlin's left-leaning government will freeze rents for five years. Landlords will be required to show new tenants the most recent rental contracts to prove they aren't jacking up prices. They'll also have to follow new rent-cap rules, which for many landlords could mean lowering rents by as much as 40%. Those who don't comply will be hit with fines as high as €500,000 ($553,000) for each violation.
Even more radically, tenant groups and thousands of activists are demanding that large corporate landlords be expelled from the city altogether, their property expropriated. The goal is to get the government to buy back roughly 250,000 properties—almost one-eighth of Berlin's housing stock—and turn them into public housing. And while the move may sound far-fetched, it's won support from anywhere from 29% to 54% of Berliners, according to yvarious polls. Two of the city's three ruling political parties have even endorsed a nonbinding public referendum on whether to force big landlords to sell their real estate to the government. (The biggest party, the Social Democratic Party, or SPD, is against the move, as is German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union. They've signaled their intentions to challenge the new regulations in court.)
Berlin's landlords, big and small, are reeling. The city's publicly traded real estate companies, whose share prices fell for most of the summer after the government announced the planned freeze in June, complain that Berlin's new regulations will scare off needed capital. Fewer companies will invest in modernizations to make buildings more appealing or energy-efficient, they say, and construction of new units may suffer, which would exacerbate Berlin's shortages. "Almost 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it seems that some people want the former conditions back," Michael Zahn, chief executive officer of Berlin's largest publicly traded landlord, Deutsche Wohnen SE, said in an earnings call in November, referring to the former East Germany's all-controlling government. "Tenants and landlords will face great uncertainty. That's a poison pill for investment."

If you don't eat sweet potatoes very often, or only at holiday time when they're smothered in melted marshmallow goo and baked until they're unrecognizable, you're missing out on one of nature's truly perfect foods. They're low in calories, high in fiber, great for diabetics and people who are carbohydrate sensitive, and packed with vitamins and minerals. So good for you is the humble sweet potato that Nutrition Action Health Letter once rated it the number one healthiest vegetable. Because it's so delectable and versatile, the sweet potato is one of my favorite foods.
[sidebar]Yam or Sweet Potato—The Final Answer
This could very well be the winning answer on Jeopardy! some day, so pay close attention. Most people really don't know the difference between yams and sweet potatoes. Well, here's the story. All of the roots that are labeled yams in American supermarkets are actually sweet potatoes, cousins of morning glories. They come in different colors and textures. True yams are gigantic tropical roots not related to sweet potatoes, and they are seldom seen in our grocery stores. They can occasionally be found in the exotic veggie area of large supermarkets, particularly in neighborhoods with Hispanic populations.
Despite this, many people insist on calling moist, orange-fleshed sweet potatoes yams, reserving the name sweet potatoes for the drier, yellow-fleshed varieties. Both are unrelated to regular white potatoes and are much, much better for you.
When I visited Okinawa, Japan, I was delighted to discover purple sweet potatoes. Their flesh is actually bright purple, and Okinawans make them into everything from chips to ice cream. Undoubtedly, their pigments offer protection from cancer and other diseases. I hope we will be able to get them in the US one day soon. [pagebreak]
Loaded With Goodness
It's too bad that many of us only eat sweet potatoes in dishes with a great deal of added sugar and fat. Not only are these preparations not very healthful, they often fail to show off the best qualities of this truly versatile vegetable. According to Janice Bohac, PhD, a research geneticist and sweet potato breeder at the USDA Agricultural Research Service's Vegetable Laboratory in Charleston, SC, sweet potatoes contain a high-quality protein, similar to that found in eggs, and are packed with nutrients, including high levels of carotenoids (especially beta-carotene), copper, vitamins C and E, and fiber. What's more, sweet potatoes are much lower on the glycemic index scale than white potatoes. That means that even carbohydrate-sensitive people and diabetics can include these good carbs in their diets.
Dr. Bohac is discovering and developing new varieties of sweet potatoes that I hope will expand the limited choices now available to most of us. These range from very sweet, moist ones to drier, lighter-fleshed varieties that make excellent stand-ins for white potatoes."You can survive on sweet potatoes during periods of starvation," says Dr. Bohac. "They're a far more complete food than rice." Under a grant from the McKnight Foundation in Minnesota, Dr. Bohac is now working with researchers in Uganda to develop improved sweet potato varieties with more beta-carotene and resistance to devastating pests.
Simply Delicious Recipes
In general, bake moist, orange-fleshed varieties at about 400 degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes (prick first with a fork). They need no added sugar. Drier types can be microwaved for 5 to 10 minutes on high, depending on their size; prick with a fork before cooking. Or, cut them up, and pan-fry them in a little olive oil.
Mashed sweets. You can roast or boil peeled sweet potatoes until they're tender, then mash them as you would white potatoes. Season with chopped garlic that you've sauteed quickly in a bit of olive oil.
Roasted sweets. I peel and cube sweet potatoes, toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, spread them in a baking pan (don't crowd!), and roast them at 450 degrees F. Stir every 10 minutes until they're nicely browned.
Bottom line: Eat sweet potatoes more often, and experiment with new ways of preparing them. Find hundreds of sweet potato recipes with our Healthy Recipe Finder.

You would have a lot of benefit from this level of technology.
You are in noisy situations about 1-2 times per fortnight and spend majority of your time in less busy environments where it requires more listening at a one on one basis and/or in smaller groups with friends and family.
You are not in many very busy listening environments at all and like to socialise in smaller groups every now and then. Majority of the time you like being in more quiet environments and enjoy easy listening to the radio and television. You like more one on one conversations and still do not want to be overwhelmed with too much noise.

Selected Poems by Lawrence Durrell
London : Faber and Faber, 1956. First UK Edition. Hardcover. 79 pages ; 21 cm. $10 dust jacket. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is firm.
SELECTED POEMS by LAWRENCE DURRELL
This selection of his poems has been made by Lawrence Durrell himself from four published volumes of verse and from other poems not yet printed in book form. He has divided the poems into five groups which in fact represent different aspects of his verse and the result is a most attractive book. Several of the earlier poems have been out of print for some years: most are dominated by Mr. Durrell's strong feeling for people and places and suffused by a clear Mediterranean light.
The Tree of Idleness, Mr. Durrell's last book of poems, was a Poetry Book Society Choice for 1955.

Adform Reveals Funding Round to Position Itself as the Independent Alternative to Walled Gardens
GRO Capital commits to the independent ad-tech unit, eyeing accelerated U.S. growth amid Sizmek's woes
Adform, the Copenhagen-based ad-tech outfit, has announced an undisclosed funding-injection from private equity firm GRO Capital, just months after the company shelved earlier plans for an initial public offering. The timing of the announcement, which was made late last week, was within a week of Sizmek, a rival ad-tech outfit which likewise attempted to position itself as a full-stack alternative to walled gardens such as Facebook and Google, filing for voluntary bankruptcy.
Oliver Whitten, Adform's COO, told Adweek the proceeds of GRO's investment will be used to accelerate its global expansion both in terms of hiring in the North American market, fortifying its integrated stack, which includes an ad server, data management platform and demand-side platform–a tech stack similar to Sizmek's.
"It's a perfect timing for us to raise the funds, given that one of our largest competitors is facing a challenging time at the moment and we have a significant influx of potential clients and we want to use this investment to ensure that we deliver for them both in the near term and longer term," he said.
In a statement, GRO Capital's managing partner Lars Dybkjær noted how Adform's roster of clients, including blue-chip advertisers plus larger media agencies, as well as its ad tech stack, made it an impressive investment opportunity that is aligned with its strategy of investing in late-stage companies.
The company's new private equity backers are partnering with existing shareholder VIA equity and Adform management to help boost its expansion. This will involve Dybkjær and Lars Lunde, also a partner at GRO Capital, joining Adform's board of directors, with the transaction expected to close by the end of April.
GRO Capital stepped in as an investor after Adform shelved plans to fundraise via an IPO in the latter part of 2018 with the Denmark-based company citing the stock market volatility that marked the end of 2018—which negatively affected tech prices—as the reason for this reversal.
"It's about continuing to bring to market the broadest, independent ad platform in the world … so a lot of it will be about innovating new features and ensuring that we have the richest integration between data workflows, creative workflows and trading workflows," Whitten said.
Whitten further went on to add that while Adform does keep an open mind when it comes to potential inorganic growth opportunities it was unlikely the newly acquired funds would be used to purchase ad tech. But this is unlikely a strategy that Adform will attempt to replicate.
"We actually feel that one of our strengths is that we are built on an organic code base," he said. "The fact that we have a single platform has allowed us to develop new features quickly and that's been the contrast with some of the other businesses out there."
The ad-tech sector has undergone a rapid phase of market consolidation in recent years with industry observers often keen to cite Sizmek, an ad-tech company backed by private equity firms Vector Capital and Cerebrus, as a prime example of attempts to weave together point solutions.
Sizmek's Chapter 11 filings have revealed that it was indebted to sell-side ad-tech companies with a number of outfits owed several million dollars and are ongoing with a case management hearing scheduled for May 7.
Some industry observers have speculated as to whether the eventual conclusion of the proceedings will include a piecemeal sale of Sizmek assets, for which its ad server component would likely prove a key attraction given that it is widely regarded as a credible alternative to Google's equivalent.
Whitten later went on to explain to Adweek how it deemed its own ad server was "a strategic asset" to Adform and one that it would hope to capitalize on as it sought to accelerate its presence in the North American market as well as further afield.
"We believe we've innovated and brought to market is something much broader," he said. "We think what's differentiated is having a seamless, integrated workflow across all three components [of creative, data and trading]."
However, one area where Adform's message to market will match with Sizmek's is how it intends to position itself as a scaled counterbalance to Google's ad stack.
"We feel highly differentiated … as being a scaled a scaled global independent alternative to Google," said Whitten. "And we certainly see that there's a lot of desire from our clients who want to de-risk from having all their eggs in the Google basket."
