Mitigation Framework: Why and when we should mitigate a penalty: Why we should mitigate
Mitigation follows on from reasonable excuse and should be allowed where the trader has behaved reasonably, but does not have a reasonable excuse for the non- compliance.
Mitigation is discretionary and allows the circumstances which contributed to the infringement to be considered. Mitigation also allows for recognition and acknowledgement of the degree of co-operation and behaviour once a penalty liability has been established, and should be used to strike the right balance of penalty and deterrent.
It is important to consider mitigation in every case.

By Jeremy Sickel
Beast: Arian Foster – No brainer right? Foster receives a heavy dose in the Houston offense and Cleveland gives up over 127 YPG on the ground. The Texans should control this game from the start meaning the run of good games continues for Foster and he should put up another above average fantasy output.
Bust: Chris Johnson – Johnson is a far cry from his former self and this week's matchup with the Bengals is no remedy. Cincinnati has given up only 85.4 rushing YPG on 3.3 YPC and 6 touchdowns on the ground. This all adds up to another very disappointing day for CJ2K.
Beast: Dez Bryant – Although Seattle is pretty middle of the road against the pass on defense, Bryant is poised for a decent game this week. Not sure if this is due to Dallas schematically spreading the wealth on offense but Bryant has scored at least one TD in every other game this season – he did not score last week, just a hint.
Bust: Rashard Mendenhall – Baltimore is very stingy against the run, giving up less than 90 YPG on 3.3 YPC and only 2 rushing touchdowns all year. Mendenhall, the workhorse in the Steelers' offense, has averaged 3.9 YPC and has only 3 touchdowns all year. Pittsburgh also seems committed to the pass lately and with the Ravens' stout run defense, they will probably keep it in the air for most of the game, especially in the red zone. Mendenhall will be affected the most and in a very non-fantasy friendly way.
Beast: Eli Manning – New England is the worst in the league against the pass giving up 323 YPG thru the air. With this game being in Foxboro, where the Patriots just don't lose, Manning will have plenty of opportunity to sling the rock around the playground. Couple that with the question marks in the Giants' backfield and you see that the team's success will be hugely reliant on the arm right of Eli.
Bust: Brandon Marshall – Although the Chiefs' passing defense is not great, their #1 cornerback Brandon Flowers is playing at a very high level right now. He leads the league in passes defensed with 15 and by a healthy margin and is tied for 2nd in interceptions with 4; teams will start giving him the Revis treatment very soon. Flowers will draw the assignment of covering Marshall this week and if Vincent Jackson's performance for the Chargers last week is any indication, #19 is in for a long day.

If I were an inanimate object, I'd be a canvas; more specifically, a fresh, crisp, roll of canvas. Everyone in my life is like a coterie of artists, painting, doodling, sketching, dancing, dripping, drawing, smearing, plastering. I'm the embodiment-an expression of them. In a single canvas, I would infiltrate the souls of the misunderstood, harboring their souls as a paint reservoir. And the tears, the agony, the suffering, the pain, the anger, the depression, the rejection, the raining misery, the contempt, the envy, the jealousy, the bitterness, or perhaps on a lighter note, the energy, the giddiness, the uncontrolled wave of consciousness, unconsciousness would be splattered across my surface, soaked into the woven fibers of my being. The most enjoyable part is: that moment their paintbrush kisses me, I would be their anger. I would be a part of their misery. I would get a taste of that memory, that emotion, and the gritty, inner figments comprising it. Beyond the tangible, the world would be gazing at me with their eyes, trying to figure me out. I'd become something abstract, something with depth and purpose. I'd be a thought, a mood, a critique of the present three-dimensional world—I'd be eternal.
The ground of my birth is ingrained in the scar of my left arm—a reminder of my motherland across the Pacific. A part of me wishes that scar away. The punctuation reminds me of my inner paradox: an unofficial term I employ in an attempt to describe the gritty turmoil within me. I may be wrong; I have yet to complete the cycle of self-discovery with only eighteen years to scrutinize in retrospect. I'm convinced there are still dim rooms within me I have yet to scour.
There are certain moments in my life when events seem to pass in a blur. I remember when time seemed to pause before the rush, somewhat reminiscent of the "calm before a storm". My eyes met hers in what seemed like a second of mind lock, a contrived telepathy my cousin and I've adopted throughout the years. I squeezed my eyes shut and grew perfectly still. The chill from the slice of metal, the glint of its luster, all incredibly defined. I could almost see her hands move, the heat from her skin at close proximity to my own. The sudden prick took me by surprise, and I let out a small scream. My eyes flicked open and I watched the blood materialize from my skin. I could hear a rush of footsteps. "Hurry!" My cousin chided me, pulling my arm to hers, I watched our blood mix, "This is for leaving me to go to America." It was then when the door chose to slam open, enveloping us in a blinding light. A rush of voices overwhelmed my swimming senses as everything around me went black.
What happened next is limited to my mother's description of what happened at the hospital. There was only one thing that sunk in from what she said to me: "The doctor did a blood test and found out you're blood type AB." At the time, my childish mind was convinced it was from what we did. It took several years to realize that what comprise my inner sanctums is split. In a literal sense, both A and B blood types share common territory in my veins. In a metaphorical sense, my experiences have shaped the growth multiple facets to my being. In this blog, I will attempt to share fragments and self analysis on the anomalies of embodying a paradox.

The highlight of the day, however, was what I found hidden among the rack of Warwicks. A Streamer Stage II with EMG's!! This thing completely blew me away. Best tone I've heard in a long time, even with the onboard EQ flat. Does anyone know if EMG equipped Streamers are a custom job or a long-lost Warwick offering? The tag said $1900, but I forgot to see if it was used or not.

I think that Meb won the 2014 Boston Marathon mostly on training, heart, and brains. All the elite runners do the training, but Meb knows exactly what he needs to do to race to his best and his does it. During last few miles with Wilson Chebet gaining on him rather quickly, I believe he ran with so much heart knowing he "had" to win Boston. Meb is very attentive to details and one of those details is training on an ElliptiGO. No, he doesn't just pose on one for pictures! In this Runner's World article: How Meb Keflezighi Trained to Win the Boston Marathon we learn some of the many details that led to Meb's success including how he used the EllipitGO in his training before Boston.
"I know I have to have my body prepared to handle the pounding of the marathon. You can't ignore that. But I also have to stay healthy," says Keflezighi, who has a history of injury. "I do my main run in the morning, but then for my second workout I often would rather be on the ElliptiGO than take the risk of a 30-minute run in the afternoon."
Keflezighi typically rides between 10 and 20 miles on his ElliptiGO, which is one of his sponsors. "I ride at a pretty good effort," he says. "I wear my heart rate monitor just for fun. It's usually around 117, 118," compared at 118-122 for a typical easy run. On days when he runs twice, he rides the ElliptiGO around noon, a couple of hours after finishing his main run of the day. During his peak preparation for Boston, he rode the ElliptiGO most days in a 9-day cycle.
Here Meb goes into more detail into his cross-training on the ElliptiGO for his buildup to Boston.
From Meb Minutes an 8 video series on Meb and his buildup to Boston.
I am happily using my ElliptiGO to help me recover my stride!

Godfrey & Wing's Continuous Flow Impregnation (CFi) and HVLV Front Load Impregnation continue to deliver unparalleled results. With over 35 installations in North America, Asia and Europe, these high performance single piece flow systems are demonstrating that OEMs and Tier One suppliers can significantly reduce the cost of vacuum impregnation while increasing their yield of pressure tight parts. The highly effective dry vacuum and pressure process employed by the CFi and HVLV remains the preferred method for sealing high performance, lightweight powertrains and difficult to seal components such as air conditioning compressors.
Through the application of single piece manufacturing and precise process controls, GW has taken a process (vacuum impregnation) previously thought to be unreliable and inefficient and transformed it into a valuable tool for powertrain design engineers. The CFi/HVLV equipment design allows OEMs and Tier One suppliers to incorporate vacuum impregnation into their facilities saving millions of dollars annually in processing costs.
Recently, Godfrey & Wing was invited to present the CFi Technology at the BMW Technology Day at the BMW Group Research and Innovation Center in Munich, Germany on November 20, 2014. Only 20 companies in North America were selected by BMW.
The objective of the event is to offer NAFTA companies the opportunity to present innovative designs, processes and services to BMW engineers, purchasers, designers, and quality engineers in the areas of lightweight construction, materials and design, efficient dynamics/ electromobility, connected drive and driver/passenger interface. Godfrey & Wing was selected to review vehicle lightweighting opportunities through the CFi/HVLV impregnation process. The CFi/HVLV technology gives powertrain engineers the ability to reduce component weight by allowing them to design thinner walled components without forsaking pressure retention requirements.
Godfrey & Wing was honored to be selected to participate in the BMW Technology Day and looks forward to making significant contributions to the design and profitability goals of BMW customers and prospects.

The State Bank of India Officers' Association (SBIOA) wants its management to announce an improved pension scheme for the bank's 60,000 officers and 1.20 lakh other employees simultaneously with the industry-wide ninth bipartite wage settlement, whenever the overdue settlement takes place.
The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), the association of bank employees of 19 nationalized commercial banks in the country, all of whom come under one or the other nine bank unions forming the Forum is, for quite some time now, in negotiation with the Indian Banks' Association (IBA), the body representing the different bank managements, over finalising the ninth industry-wide bipartite settlement.
Speaking to FE here on Sunday, G D Nadaf, general secretary, All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC), who is also general secretary of the All India State Bank Officers' Federation (AISBOF), said despite the seven-day nation-wide strike in 2006, the SBI management had "done little" towards improving its existing pension scheme.
"The improvements are yet to come; we have already taken up the issue with the government, we want this issue also to be settled along with the industry-level ninth bipartite currently underway," said Nadaf.
Among the improvements being demanded by the AISBOF in the bank's existing pension scheme are that the pension amount receivable by the employee should be 50% of his/her last earned basic pay; that all old pensioners from 1997-98 should also be brought under the fold of the improved scheme as such pensions relate to the 1991 pay-scale.
It also wants 100% neutralisation of dearness allowance (DA) in its pension scheme, which today is there only for employees who continue to serve the bank and not for its pensioners.
The AISBOF general secretary, who was here to attend the 19th triennial general body meeting of State Bank of India Officers' Association (Patna circle), said the commutation formula in SBI's existing pension scheme too needed improvement as it was the "worst" in the industry. He said the federation also wants that SBI should incur a proportionate cost of that to be spent by the rest of the industry i.e Rs 6,300 crore for implementing the recently agreed second pension option for banking industry personnel other than SBI.
As SBI had in 1993 borne a proportionate cost in implementing the first industry-wide pension option, Nadaf said the bank should, this time too, share the cost.

A man once told his story. He was ready to make sacrifices to ensure that his children were well-developed morally and academically. He realised that he was greatly handicapped due to his upbringing. Conscience as well as proper cognitive development of children was not given attention in his society. He said that he and most other children in his neighbourhood grew up with the understanding that life was a game of chance. As children, their consideration in taking any action then was whether one would be caught in the act and the severity of the punishment that would be meted out if caught. Nothing else mattered! Most of them ended up becoming dexterous in performing wrong acts without being caught and stronger at enduring the punishment when caught.
By the time he grew up, he felt on top of the world. No one could intimidate him into taking any action against his will. That was the beginning of the woes. He became very excited at his freedom from the clutches of his parents and moved at a very high speed. Not quite long, before his twenty-third birthday, his bubble burst – he got sentenced to prison. Although his body was filled with scars, each telling a tragic story, none could be compared to the emotional torture in prison for the whole year he spent there.
It was in prison that his restoration to normalcy commenced. It was there he learnt he could willingly put his hands and brain to positive use, trusting God. His heart learnt to understand and give love. He learnt respect for and obedience to the prison authorities. He understood he had a choice to make between good and evil. He needed no further proof of the consequences of evil, but the reward of good choices was consistently revealed. He was happy that the discipline he could not acquire as a child due to his upbringing was achieved in prison.
When he came out of the prison, he took a critical look at the children in his neighbourhood where he was raised and became convinced that most of them were headed towards the same calamity that befell him. He was so dissatisfied with the degenerated societal values that he made efforts to make a difference in the lives of his children. He limited his children's interaction with the bad eggs in his neighbourhood and ensured that they were separated from the environment that almost destroyed him. His children stayed in boarding houses in good secondary schools.
He has tried to be committed in his relationship with his children and hopes to learn more effective parenting skills so that the output of his parenting efforts will be fruitful. He was willing to learn and adopt an improved approach and not insist on any traditional parenting practice which confused him and most of his friends as children. He has understood that for him to get it right with his children, he has to make love and discipline his lifestyle and firmly and consistently communicate same to his children.
Yes! Great parents are ever learning to achieve great parenting results.
Happy second year anniversary to all lovers, readers and followers of the Passion in Parenting blog

Even though you and your dogs were completely soaked, you had a great sense of humor about it! You showed me how much better life can be when you don't take things too seriously. Thanks for making my day!

Sexy Spurs and Pokemon man You. With your steelers hat beautiful beard and glasses. I saw you chasing Pokémon with your dog at Riverfront Park and I knew I had to catch you. I don't know who that THOT was you were with but if you wanna squirtle then message me @ firstname.lastname@example.com
Maybe I'm mistaken I'd still love to catch up over coffee. You asked for more time to resolve an issue or maybe you didn't. If you know who I am respond next week with something familiar to both of us.
We Should All be Friends My friend and I saw you both while we were grabbing beers at The Lantern last Thursday. You started up a conversation when I took out my phone to play Pokémon Go, and we all ended up chatting for a while about TV shows to watch, haircuts, and my friend's "super hot girlfriend." When you guys left, we both commented that it would be cool to all hang out again sometime. Beers soon? - Z & S
Thanks for making my mornings worth it! Almost every morning I stop in at the downtown Starbucks location, the wonderful baristas that work there are always in a good mood, they're always smiling and genuinely making an effort to ensure that everyone that comes in feels welcome! These are the kind of people we need in all customer service type jobs, some mornings are better than others but I always look forward to seeing their smiling faces when grabbing my morning cup of coffee! Cheers to the men and women at the downtown Starbucks location!
An amazing young man To Kash, the young man that was camping with his family at Farragut State Park, Gilmore sites this past weekend. You touched our hearts and it was a pleasure meeting you. You made our camping experience that much better.
Thanks for the lift! Cheers to the kind stranger who saw my slo-mo motorcycle drop on Government Way on 7/16. Your immediate offer of assistance kept an already embarrassing situation from turning into a catastrophe. You gave a boost to my confidence in humanity! Thanks again for the lift!
Good Samaritan A big thank you to the husband and wife that rescued my wife at around 2:00 PM Sunday, July 17, 2016 at the North Side Costco parking lot. You went above and beyond to make sure she made it home after locking her keys in the car. Thank you so much. God Bless you
Thank you, SJFC After decades of providing good services and counsel to the community, St. Joseph's Family Center has closed due to financial challenges. Thank you for helping me and anyone else who was in need. You are missed .
Jeers to the people in front of Ferguson's Cafe on Saturday morning who had the audacity to make cruel, snide, insensitive, insulting, snarky comments about the couple who was smoking more than 25 feet from the door while everyone was waiting for the cafe to open. Your comments were so loud that they heard you. Just so all of you know, this couple has been struggling to quit smoking but had a setback. They lost their one and only child just under a month ago. Ferguson's holds a special place for them. Their last meal with their son was there, and he was killed that same night. Their life has been a living hell since then. So know a person's story before you speak so cruelly. Uplifting and encouraging words are more helpful than your cold behavior. If you don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all. Keep your comments to yourself. What all of you said was uncalled for,unnecessary and unneeded. You should be ashamed of yourselves. So shame on you. Shame on all of you.
Seniors v Spokane Merchants Shopping in downtown Spokane is challenging for people who use "walkers" & "wheelchairs". The lack of doors that stay open long enough for us to get through to a store, close so quickly that we often get pinned between the doorway & the heavy door. Spoke w/ an employee at that popular coffee store downtown, after a customer got me unstuck, was told that the building owner is responsible. Then I asked if they or their manager would talk to the building owner, "no we don't have time" asked if the manager would, was told, "I asked, already". This internationally known coffee store is not the only business guilty of ignoring seniors & others who may be in need of slower closing doors, but they do like our spending money. By the way, there is another coffee shop downtown on Wall that treats all customers equally, there doors actually stay open long enough for me & my walker to easily go thru, oh by the way their coffee is better & so are their prices.
Careless and irresponsible workers cause serious injury to customer My husband and I went to a burger chain out in the Spokane Valley on Sprague Avenue, on July 2. We had just come from a very enjoyable event and decided to grab some dinner before heading home. We had both seen the advertisement for the new grilled hot dogs they had that they were $1.00 if you mentioned the ad seen on the television. We had placed our order and we had just gotten our drinks when it was announced our order was ready. My husband went up to get our food and I noticed we had no napkins so went up to get some. I saw a wet floor sign so immediately walked around it as I thought that was where the spill was. I was wrong... it was no where near the spill, and I took an awful fall. I have serious health issues, and all I could think was this was going to be the end of me. I screamed as I went down... landed on both of my bad knees, bruised the right one horribly, scraped it, and also rolled my right ankle and bruised it to. NONE OF THE WORKERS there heard me yell... and then all they offered to do that night was refund our meal... and if I had to have an ambulance they would call for one. All I wanted was go to home... I no longer was hungry, I felt sick as I had hit my head too and it has been a rough couple of weeks with all the swelling, and bruising. Word of caution... if you eat at this place... be VERY VERY careful.... Evidently their employees break times are more important than the customers safety and well being. I have since spoken with a manager and again all she offered was to allow us to have a meal on them and apologized, but an apology is hard to accept when you have been seriously injured....I do know one thing for sure..... IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE I EAT THERE AGAIN.... IF I EVER DO.... ♦

Hastings, 1066. For many of us this is where English history begins. Before this, we are taught, a few barbarian warlords wrestled the land away from the equally barbaric Celts in the power-vacuum left by the Romans, then squabbled over it for the next 500 years or so until William the Conqueror and his knights chased away the dark ages, restoring civilization, establishing Chivalry, and setting England on her path to the glorious empire of the 19th Century.
The cliché tells us that history is written by the winners, and this particular propaganda has been persistent. It is pretty much the story I learned in primary school, and seems to have echoes in the 'Our Island Story' curriculum Gove was pushing a couple of years ago. This book, though, is concerned with the losers. For Buccmaster of Holland, 1066 marks the death blow for England, but it is not a clean wound. The Wake follows Buccmaster into the forests of Lincolnshire, where he becomes a 'green man', fighting a guerrilla war against the French invaders.
One of the challenges of historical fiction, even if it deals with primarily fictional characters, is how to engage readers in a story with a foregone conclusion. Kingsnorth approaches this by focussing on Buccmaster's personal journey against the backdrop of a hostile foreign occupation. When telling a tale like this, there is a temptation to write about a heroic underdog, leading his noble but ultimately tragic people in a final stand against tyranny, but here the big historical players, William, Harold, and even Hereward the Wake, whose epithet gives the novel its name, exist only as distant rumours[i]. The Norman invaders are inarguably oppressive, but the inequalities in English society are accepted as natural by the characters, and Buccmaster does not see the irony in his adoration of the Anglo-saxon raiders who had crushed the existing Romano-British culture in the same way he fears the Normans will destroy the English way of life.
Buccmaster himself is decidedly unheroic. He is petty, arrogant, probably delusional and ultimately pathetic, but it is through his voice that the story is told. While he is sometimes a difficult character to like, it seems right that we should see these events from the point of view of somebody who is ordinary and flawed; most of us will only ever play bit-parts in the grand narrative of human history, and in Buccmaster, Kingsnorth gives us protagonist who struggles to see this, both as an individual, and as a representative of a culture in terminal decline.
One of the novel's great successes is the way that it brings Buccmaster's voice and his world vividly to life. This is achieved through Kingsnorth's great experiment: in recognition of the fact that 'our assumptions, our politics, our worldview, our attitudes' are reflected in the language we speak, the novel is written in a 'ghost tongue' – an approximation of Old English designed to be accessible to modern readers. What could easily have become a gimmick is in fact one of the strongest aspects of the novel, and while the language takes a little perseverance at first (and perhaps more so if you aren't already involved in word-geekery), it soon becomes natural. Other than a few of the more unusual words (most of which are covered by a glossary), I found that within a few pages, I was able to read and comprehend the language as it is, rather than needing to mentally translate. In fact, Kingsnorth's 'ghost tongue' lives up to its name, as I found its vocabulary sticking with me after I had put the book down. In attempting to write in a language which has not been moulded by a thousand years of loan-words, and political, economic and philosophical change, Kingsnorth gives his narrator a speech which is rooted in agriculture, the natural world, and a pre-feudal view on human society, avoiding the trap of giving his 11th Century characters 21st Century minds. This ghost-tongue also has a lyrical beauty of its own: 'it is early in the mergen mist is risan from the waters and on top of the waters is mos grene lic the grenest daeg and deop below deop in the blaec water can be seen great leafs what is suncan almost from sight. all is flat all this land is flat naht stands abuf the reods. low we is and we gan slow through the green and naht is to be seen but the water…'
This 11th Century mind-set does not mean that the novel has no relevance today. Kingsnorth has written non-fiction about the loss of English cultural identity, and it is interesting to read the novel in a society where this is increasingly dominated by nationalists. The book offers no answers, but it did make me wonder if the paranoia about immigrants eroding the English way of life might stem from deep cultural memories. Whether you start English history at 1066 or in the 5th Century with the first Germanic settlers, the national origin story is one of conquest and displacement. I do not wish to draw comparisons between the Norman conquest and the migration patterns of the last century – a top-down, military subjugation of the native population is clearly entirely different from a steady influx of families and individuals looking for greater economic or social stability – but I suspect these deep-seated invasion narratives from our early history have coloured some aspects of the debate on migration.
For the English of The Wake, there can be no period of gradual adjustment. When William the Bastard seizes the thrown, it marks a catastrophic end to the Anglo-Saxon way of life. The language may be unfamiliar, the protagonist unsympathetic at times, but this book offers an intimate exploration of the way people might react to such a complete destruction of their way of life while offering some insight to an often overlooked period of English history from the perspective of those who are not destined to be remembered.
[i] It is interesting, as a modern reader, to experience a society where news cannot travel faster than a man can walk. The world seems bigger – more isolated. Important events are one step removed from the characters' lives.

The purpose of the International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the theory and applications in the areas of Agents and Artificial Intelligence. Two simultaneous related tracks will be held, covering both applications and current research work. One track focuses on Agents, Multi-Agent Systems and Software Platforms, Distributed Problem Solving and Distributed AI in general. The other track focuses mainly on Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Representation, Planning, Learning, Scheduling, Perception Reactive AI Systems, and Evolutionary Computing and other topics related to Intelligent Systems and Computational Intelligence.A substantial amount of research work is ongoing in these knowledge areas, in an attempt to discover appropriate theories and paradigms to use in real-world applications. Much of this important work is therefore theoretical in nature. However there is nothing as practical as a good theory, as Boltzman said many years ago, and some theories have indeed made their way into practice. Informatics applications are pervasive in many areas of Artificial Intelligence and Distributed AI, including Agents and Multi-Agent Systems; This conference intends to emphasize this connection, therefore, authors are invited to highlight the benefits of Information Technology (IT) in these areas. Ideas on how to solve problems using agents and artificial intelligence, both in R&D and industrial applications, are welcome. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of ICAART with an ISBN. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster sessions.Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as well as tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Additional information can be found at http://www.icaart.org/.
Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas:
Authors should submit a paper in English, carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, addressing one or several of the conference areas or topics.
Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains or environments to which it is applicable.
To facilitate the double-blind paper evaluation method, authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the paper WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors,
including the authors' personal details, the acknowledgments section of the paper and any other reference that may disclose the authors' identity.
Only original papers should be submitted. Authors are advised to read INSTICC's ethical
norms regarding plagiarism and self-plagiarism thoroughly before
submitting and must make sure that their submissions do not substantially overlap work which has been published elsewhere or simultaneously submitted to a
journal or another conference with proceedings. Papers that contain any form of plagiarism will be rejected without reviews.
Authors can submit their work in the form of a Regular Paper, representing completed and validated research, or as a Position Paper, portraying a short
report of work in progress or an arguable opinion about an issue discussing ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research
focused on one of the conference topic areas. All papers must be submitted through the online submission
platform PRIMORIS and should follow the instructions and
templates that can be found under Guidelines and Templates.
After the paper submission has been successfully completed, authors will receive an automatic confirmation e-mail.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on digital support.
SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/) and every paper on our digital library is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier).
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library.
It is planned to publish a short list of revised and extended versions of presented papers with Springer in a LNAI Series book.
The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI/ISI), DBLP, EI (Elsevier Engineering Village Index), Scopus, Semantic Scholar and Google Scholar.

As fashion lovers, we'll admit to busting the bank for some purchases, but we're not crazy—there are some items that don't need to be designer. Beyond that, it's actually better if they're not, especially when you're talking basics that will see a lot of wear and tear. Some pieces are worth the higher price tag (like shoes that are undeniably more comfortable and bags that were meticulously put together by hand), but others just don't warrant the credit card charge. Herewith, the closet staples on which you should always spend as little as possible.
1. T-shirts
A tried-and-true wardrobe staple, the plain white tee was number one on our list of Target style essentials. Stock up, and don't feel guilty if you have to toss it eventually (due to spills, stains, or other discoloration). A good rule of thumb? If something spends a lot of its life as a layering piece, hidden under other items, don't make it your investment item.
2. Trendy sunglasses
Not only are sunnies likely to get lost, but the trendier they are, the more likely you are to get sick of them (or they'll quickly feel dated). Spend more on the classic black pair you'll wear forever, but go low when doing funky shapes or vivid colors.
3. Ballet flats
As delicate as the name suggests, skimmers take a major beating. Without a thick sole or a material that's naturally impervious to wear, it's unavoidable, and, sad but true, the pricey pairs can get destroyed just as quickly as the cheapies. Bonus? When you're not worried about ruining them, you'll be better able to achieve the carefree attitude we so associate with French-girl style.
4. Thongs
Yes to spending more for a brilliantly fitting bra. No to shelling out extra for thongs. While it's important for your undies to feel good, there are too many wallet-friendly options out there to warrant spending lots on something so little.
5. Sweatpants
It's tempting to reason that if you wear sweats a lot, it makes sense to splash out on a designer pair (plus, beyond-buzzy label Vetements assures we're about to see a lot more pricey pairs hit the market). Banish the thought though, as there's little difference between a $20 pair and a $200 one since the cut and fabrication will essentially be identical.
6. Totes
When it comes to bags, save up and spend more on a classic shoulder bag, not a roomy tote. This is your workhorse piece, and it'll likely take a beating. Plenty of good, well-made leather versions abound that won't eat into your budget too much, and the minimalistic nature of the style makes it tricky for people to instantly know how much you spent.
7. Trousers
When it comes to your work wardrobe, you'll get more ROI on unique blouses and blazers than your slacks. Saving here is easy, since options for sophisticated, work-ready pants abound at national chains that cater to shoppers needing a professional wardrobe. The monetary benefit is compounded too, since the wallet-friendly pairs aren't as likely to have the dreaded dry-clean only labels, saving you that care cost.

Rosario Dawson Reveals 'I Love Men,' But 'I Was a Virgin Until I Was 20!'
Rosario Dawson shows a ton of leg on the cover of Cosmopolitan for Latinas' Fall 2014 issue, on newsstands now.
Here's what the 35-year-old actress had to share with the mag:
On what she looks for in relationships: "I'm a touch person, I love intimacy…I love men! I love romance. I would love to fall deeply in love with someone, but at the same time it's not my everything."
On the most romantic thing a man can do: "For me, it's about forethought. For my 25th birthday, my then-boyfriend prepared a beautiful bath for me. He put flowers and a bunch of little candles everywhere. He was crazy busy, and he knew I loved a great bath! I remember it was so small but it was so special to me because he thought it through."
On her teenage years: "I was an awkward teenager. I went stag to my prom. I was a virgin until I was 20 years old! My mother was raising five kids on her own, I wasn't just going to sit back and be a horny teenager and continue some cycle of teenage pregnancy�"I wanted more opportunities."

We have been far away from our family for about half a year and we really miss everyone a lot. The only solace we have is to keep in touch with the friends over here. In the midst of making new friends I got introduced to someone who is the wife of my husbands very old friend. I haven't met her but had numerous phone conversations (as you know women spent more time on phone than men). This recipe is a result of one such phone call. I've never made this before but my friend had all praise for this dish. I made a few changes though.
Large Prawns(cleaned)-250g
Basmati rice-1cup
Whole garam masala (cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamon & bay leaves)-1 each
Ginger/Garlic paste-2tsp
Corriander powder-2tsp
Chilli powder-1 1/2tsp
Garam masala powder-1/2tsp
Turmeric powder-1/2tsp
Lime juice-2tsp
Corriander & Mint leaves for garnising
Salt to taste
Marinate the prawns with youghurt, 1/2tsp chilli powder, 1/4tsp turmeric powder, 1tsp ginger/garlic paste & salt. Keep it aside for 2 hours. Shallow fry these prawns for about 10 minutes.
Heat a frying pan, add oil and saute the well chopped onions until translucent. Now add the remaining ginger/garlic paste and continue sauting for about 5 minutes. Add corriander powder, chilli powder to the mixture and saute for another 2 minutes. Finally add the chopped tomatoes and saute until the oil separates. Add 1/2 a glass of water and when the gravy begins to boil add the fried prawns and cook for about 5 minutes. You may add corriander and mint leaves at this stage if required.
Wash the rice clean and soak it for 30 minutes. Take a heavy bottom vessel, add 1tbp ghee and 1tbsp oil, add the whole garam masalas when the oil is hot and when they splutter add the rice, fry for sometime until the rice glistens. Add 2 cups of water, salt, 1/4tsp garam masala powder, 1/4tsp turmeric powder, 1tsp lime juice and cook the rice.
Smear the heavy bottom vessel with the remaining ghee. First add a layer of the rice and on top of it a layer of the prawns curry. Sprinkle a bit of garam masala powder & 1tsp lime juice, chopped corriander & mint leaves. Layer it with rice again.
The secret lies here. Make sure that you press the rice well so that the flavour of the prawns mixes well with the rice. Close the vessel with a tight lid or with an aluminium foil and keep it over a large pan(dosa pan) and cook on slow flame for about 30 minutes. You may add water in the pan so that it does not get over heated. This procedure is to dum the biryani.
Note: You may garnish the final product with fried onions, cashews and kismis which I avoided to make my kids happy. :-)
You may use biryani masala instead of garam masala.
You may also adjust the masalas as per individual tastes.

How Can You NOT Laugh at a Time Like This?
Reclaim Your Health with Humor, Creativity, and Grit
Having a sense of humor is essential to health, says singer-songwriter Carla Ulbrich, who has found laughter to be a lifesaver during tough times. Under the stress of multiple illnesses and constant health "care," Ulbrich one day snapped and became the Singing Patient. She channeled her hard won victories, set about reclaiming her health, and penned How Can You NOT Laugh at a Time Like This?, a collection of short, inspiring, funny essays that help people thrive and celebrate life despite illness.
As Ulbrich spins her tale (and shares some songs), she lampoons common fears and prejudices about illness and lovingly lambastes the foibles of the medical industry. She offers heartfelt and humorous advice for navigating mainstream and alternative therapies, and she guides partners, families, and friends who wish to help their loved ones. Her candid insights, wisecracking commentary, handy lists, hilarious song lyrics, and gentle camaraderie will put a smile on the face of anyone who wants to face illness with courage and humor.

Ela Quality Resort became entitled to receive EUROSPA WELLNESS certificate, which is the certificate for European spa quality and standards, thanks to AB-I ZEN Spa & Rituals Lounge within its company structure, and its service and infrastructure quality.
European Spa Quality Director Dr: Kurt von Storch and Turkish Spa, Thalasso and Cure Association Chairman Prof. Dr. Zeki Karagülle and Ela Quality Resort Hotel Operating Manager Murat Kodan and Spa Manager Bora Özkurt were present at the award ceremony organized at Ela Quality Resort Hotel in Belek, the precious tourism centre of Turkey, where the emerald colour of pine forests and the turquoise colour of Mediterranean blend.
Ab-ı Zen Spa & Lounge, which is a brand of Ela Quality Resort Hotel, was awarded with the EUROPESPA WELLNESS certificate by the European Spa Union, the most important certification institution of Europe in this field, thanks to its service and infrastructure quality. Ela Quality Resort Hotel welcomes its guests in the AB-I ZEN Spa & Wellness centre and proudly presents the unique infrastructure and highly trained staff. It will be included in web pages connected with this organisation, the list of their recommended hotels and the web sites of tour operators in the field of health tourism in Europe, and can be found through search engines thanks to this certificate.
European Spa Union Quality Director Dr. Kurt von Storch, who made a speech at the award ceremony, stated that the compliance with 400 different requirements such as safety, hygiene, infrastructure and equipment, therapy, physical structure and service quality applicable in all countries is defined as SPA; that Ela Quality Resort Hotel proved it meets European SPA quality standards by passing all these stages during inspections and audits, and that it became entitled to receive this certificate. Storch, who pointed out to the significance of being awarded this certificate by European Spa Union as a non-profit organisation, stated that "The leading tour operators of Europe consider these certificates and direct their customers to hotels in possession of EUROSPA WELLNESS certificate. The best hotels in Europe are under our umbrella, it is a real privilege to have this certificate".
Turkish Spa, Thalasso and Cure Association Chairman Prof. Dr. Zeki Karagülle stated in his speech that the term SPA means a wellness concept which blends health and rest together, and is gaining considerable attention worldwide; that tourism facilities operating in this field come into prominence. Mr. Karagülle, who stated that the European Spa Union in Brussels, of which Turkish Spa, Thalasso and Cure Association is a member, has 22 member countries, pointed out that quality criteria were implemented in thermal and Spa – Wellness fields in Europe for over 5 years and only 40 facilities possessed such certificate in Europe despite the fact that the European Spa Union has 2000 member hotels, and that only 3 facilities apart from the Ela Quality Resort Hotel became entitled to receive such certificate in Turkey.
Mr. Karagülle stated that the certification process was very severe, and 400 criteria were considered during inspections, and pointed out that at least 80 points from 100 had to be achieved during assessments. Ela Quality Resort Hotel became entitled to receive EUROPESPA WELLNESS certificate by successfully fulfilling such criteria. Karagülle said: "Turkey has an important place in health tourism. Antalya shall be the shining star of SPA-Welness in the future. Ela Quality Resort Hotel received this certificate thanks to its quality in compliance with European standards as a whole".
AB-I ZEN Spa & Rituals Lounge, designed for complete resting and spiritual balance, uses 100% organic and natural products in one hundred and sixty different care and massage treatments.
Bora Özkurt, Manager of Ab-ı Zen Spa & Rituals Lounge, which is a brand of Ela Quality Resort, also provided information on the centre. Özkurt pointed out that Ab-ı Zen, which means small pond in Ottoman Turkish, has a total of 27 treatment rooms, 22 indoors and 5 outdoors, built on an area of 4500 square metres; he pointed out that the Ela Quality Resort with its individual service philosophy was the "apple of the eye" of the tourism and that the SPA certificate was a privilege. 100% natural products would be used in the spa centre and that respect to nature was the most important characteristic.
Mr. Özkurt continued:
"These works, carried out during the development process of the spa sector in Turkey, are of great importance. AB-I ZEN was designed as a new generation spa and we continue to improve our spa service offer further every year. New generation SPA centres comprise holistic applications, meaning that physical exercise, diet and therapy applications are offered as a whole. We primarily composed all services that should be in a spa centre, and we standardized those services. This certificate awarded to us by European Spa Union is a proof of compliance of our spa centre with European standards. And we continue our works to go further beyond these standards. We want to become an excellent spa brand in Europe by continuing to develop and renew our spa product every year."

By Rajeev Masand
I have a feeling you'll be hearing about the AIB Knockout featuring Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor for some days to come. Modelled after Comedy Central's popular Roast, the two Gunday stars signed up to be humiliated, insulted, laughed at and openly ridiculed by a panel of comedians (and the occasional odd-man-out, read yours truly!) at a live event with a 4,000-strong audience in attendance last Saturday, whose proceeds were divided among three charities.
The two actors sportingly took dozens of jokes on everything from Arjun's obese past and Ranveer's sleazy reputation, to their lack of talent and their sheer luck at landing hot movie-star girlfriends. Filmmaker Karan Johar played Roast Master at the event, willingly subjecting himself to a barrage of gay jokes, even as his 70-year-old mum smiled nervously from the front row. In an unscripted moment that threw off even the usually unfazed Johar, Ranveer Singh made his entry on stage, grabbing the director by his face and planting a wet one smack on his mouth, causing the stadium to erupt in deafening laughter. From that point on, the evening quickly turned into a slaughterhouse for Ranveer and Arjun's egos, which had to have taken a good-natured pounding at the hands of the roasters. "You're the least talented person in a family that also has Sonam Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor," one funnyman declared to Arjun. At another point, Johar said: "Ranveer, you've made such terrible movies lately, it's like the last good thing you were in was Deepika Padukone." Ouch!
But wait, Deepika was right there in the front row, laughing through the dozens of jokes aimed at her boyfriend that invariably mentioned her too. Equally sporting was Alia Bhatt, also chuckling from the front as the roasters directed sharp one-liners her way too.
A Good Friend and Great Sport
Reportedly, Sonakshi Sinha and Arjun Kapoor are on a break. The Tevar stars who started dating while shooting the film some months ago, have decided to take it slow barely months into their relationship. Their movie opens in January and they've been spending a lot of time together travelling across the country on a promotional spree, but they're "just good friends now" and no more.
And since good friends show up for each other's gigs, Sonakshi turned up at the Roast too, and smiled through all the jokes that were cracked about Arjun and her, specifically about her weight. "Sonakshi acted in a movie called Lootera, which was based on an O'Henry short story called The Last Leaf," one roaster began. "The Last Leaf... because Sonakshi ate all the rest," the joke went. Big props to the actress for taking it on the chin--"It's true!" she yelled out from her seat in the front row.
Presence of the Uninvited
Later the same night, the celebrations moved to Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's terrace garden in Bandra, where the couple hosted some of their friends to a night of drunken revelry that reportedly wound up at 4.30 the following morning. Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, Karan Johar, Anushka Sharma, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, Sonam Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, Imran Khan and Avantika Malik, Ayan Mukerji, Imtiaz Ali, Rajkumar Hirani and Vikas Bahl all showed up and hung out at Ranbir and Katrina's plush new pad, digging into a mutton delicacy that had everyone raving. Conspicuous by their absence were Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, who were apparently not on the guest list but who for their own part continued celebrating after the Roast with Finding Fanny director Homi Adajania and his wife Anaita Shroff-Adajania.
Hirani's Choice
Ranbir Kapoor, one hears, is more or less locked to take the lead in Rajkumar Hirani's next film... which won't be a sequel to PK, despite what its final scene might have suggested. The 3 Idiots director, notorious for taking long gaps between films, has reportedly decided on his next subject already, and is believed to have confirmed Ranbir for the film.
Sources close to Hirani reveal that Ranbir was in fact the director's first choice to play the alien protagonist in PK, but the filmmaker couldn't say 'no' to Aamir, who was insistent on doing the film. Aware that PK addressed sensitive but relevant themes, and had the potential to be a game changer, Aamir is said to have 'hounded' Hirani to cast him over any other actor that the director may have been considering.
Before the film's release--and ever since the trailers went public--Aamir's arched eyebrows, and glimpses of what appeared to be an on-the-nose performance drew much flak from film buffs and industrywalas alike... making even Hirani nervous. But evidently the actor knew exactly what he was doing. Unanimously declared one of his best performances recently, critics and fans have both acknowledged that Aamir succeeded in not caricaturing a character that could've easily fallen prey to a broad stereotype. But having made two films with Aamir in a row, Hirani appears to have decided to go in a different direction with his next, opting for the younger superstar to topline the new project that remains, typically, shrouded in Christopher Nolan-level secrecy.
Transitory Delights
Rumours about this attractive actress and her co-star in an upcoming have been growing louder by the day, and it's refreshing to note that neither is making any effort to deny or hide the fact that they're dating. The pair showed up at the housewarming party of the actress' manager recently, and no one raised any eyebrows at their closeness. A big fan of high- heeled shoes because of her height, the actress has apparently given up wearing heels so she doesn't appear to tower over her new boyfriend. Industrywalas are cynical about their relationship, however. They insist the pair will last as long as their movie clicks. "Both are coming off break-ups, and it's clear there's a strong physical attraction between them. But if the film tanks, more than likely they'll quickly get over each other and move on," one seasoned producer reasons.
Perhaps they'll cross that bridge when they reach it. For now, it's all new and shiny and they seem to want to make the most of it. Who're we to grudge them that, eh?
Sticky Encounter
A top female star and a male A-lister she once used to date crossed paths at a filmi wedding reception last week, and eye- witnesses swear there was so much tension in the air you could cut it with a knife. The actor, who was accompanied by his wife, and the actress, who showed up with her mother and a sizeable entourage, consciously avoided each other, both trying to look busy as they literally found themselves face to face.
This reaction is hardly surprising given their tumultuous history. The pair could never openly acknowledge their relationship although it was Bollywood's worst kept secret. Details, however, came tumbling out after a scandalous controversy involving a disgruntled employee popped up.
To be fair, the actor is one of the industry's leading skirt- chasers and has always been--his image of a devoted family man no more than an unconvincing cover up, say Bollywood insiders. She, meanwhile, is in a much better place professionally than she was when they were together, although a healthy romantic relationship has eluded her for a while.
