en | N/A | N/A | Do you feel like you are settling?
Do you just date people who you find you have some interests in or do you hold out for those gems of a person that you just know that person is perfect for you?I feel like people in modern societies are just dating just for the sake of dating. I personally am waiting for that special person that I just connect with, I don't want to settle for anything than perfect because that's what I feel I deserve, do you or do you not feel that way?I am constantly chastised for not being in a relationship frequently, I just think why date if it doesn't have that possibility of going somewhere. What's your thoughts on this?
I completely agree and my friends used to tease me about this constantly!It's like what's the point if you don't really care for each other?
Guys perspective?
Hold out for a lifetime...
I agree with everything you said, but you're 16...Why would a "relationship frequency" even come up?
I've never even dated before. Its an anomaly in common day society which is rather sad. American youth is a very tragic thing... |
en | N/A | N/A | Main Application Essay: A very important part of the application, but also the part of the application that you will find fun to work on. The idea here is that if you have organized and linked your Tangible Activities with your Branded elements, then you can see what areas you might be able to add to your Main Essay. The key is not to be obvious about it. You want to ‘[show’, not ‘tell’, in your essay. My advice on the main essay is to find a story that you want to tell, a story that has YOU at the center of it as the protaganist. But don’t worry too much about whether you are ‘selling’ yourself in this essay, you have that opportunity through the other parts of the application. Take the opportunity to show them your descriptive writing, your humor or empathy. And most importantly, have fun with it.
Additional Comments: Here, we can elaborate on any areas that you feel you did not do justice to in the other areas of the application. You can actually add those other activities that you wrote about here – anything that needed more description than you had in the activity list. |
en | N/A | N/A | What the 2008 financial crisis made clear is that when natural market forces work to purge the oversupply of poor-quality debt from the system. The bad mortgages (think subprime), the bad sovereign debts (think Greece), and the loan portfolios of over-extended financial institutions (think Citibank) represented ‘poor quality debt.’ When the market (finally) figured out that those debts would never be repaid at face value, or perhaps at all, turmoil erupted. |

Seeking Opportunities from Climate Change
Inflection Point in Development
by Wouter Klijn | November 15, 2017 ESG
“The challenges for us as investors who invest for the long term is to recognise some of these climate change challenges, but not to see them just as a source of risk and worry, but actually as an exciting source of potential growth,” Parry says at the Investment Innovation Institute’s .
“The way I see the world is one of great opportunities.”
A good guide for tracking these opportunities is says.
“But the reality is that they represent a huge growth opportunity because these effectively are the unmet needs of societies around the world.”
“For me, these targets represent very important impact themes that I can then relate back to investable themes in public equities and which are emerging, secular and probably unrelated to what [US Federal Reserve System Chair] Janet Yellen or [European Central Bank President] Mario Draghi do in terms of macroeconomic policies.”
“Because by meeting unmet needs in society or finding solutions to those challenges, you are bringing new, incremental demand into the equation. The companies that find the solutions to that future growth are the new growth stories over the next 20 years.”
“In 2016, on a global basis, for every dollar invested in fossil fuels, there were two invested in alternative energy. Europe, as a whole, already produces 20 per cent of its daily energy from wind,” he notes.
“But it is actually China who leads the world; China is the most rapid adopter of alternative energy. Why? Well it is resource scarce and anybody who has been to Beijing will know that China has a pollution problem.”
In December 1952, the smog became so oppressive that it resulted in the immediate death of 4000 people, while another 8000 died in the following months.
A cleaner environment is not only good socially, but also good for the economy because it will boost productivity.
It is not unlikely China is on a similar path and Parry believes this will ultimately result in higher economic growth.
“,” he says.
Yet, to capitalise on the move towards a more sustainable future, you still need to ensure you look at these opportunities from an investor’s viewpoint, he points out.
“First and foremost you still have to be a good investor and to be a good investor you have to understand the long-term growth opportunity and the position of that particular company within its industry,” he says.
“Is it going to be a winner or a marginal player? And is it the right time and the right price?
To be a good investor you have to find that inflection point in the development curve. When too many people are chasing too few orders in the short term, that is the time to invest.
He points to the rapid development of wind energy over the past decade.
“In 2007, you could have made the prediction that wind as a source of alternative energy would grow substantially quicker than the consensus expectation. The IEA (International Energy Agency) has had to continually revise up their projections of wind [energy] and the number of installed wind turbines has increased exponentially,” he says.
“Unfortunately, Vestas had exceedingly poor accounting standards, it was not converting its orders into cash and they were highly reliant on subsidies, which is unsustainable in the long term.
“Along comes 2008, the financial crisis, and all of these things become horribly apparent: subsidies were scaled back or withdrawn, the accounting issues come to the fore and the shares collapse 95 per cent.”
In 2007, Vestas would have been a poor investment, despite the growth of the wind energy market, but only a few years later the situation changed, he notes.
“Wind turbines continued to be installed and the industry continued to grow quicker,” he says.
“If you had bought it then, you would have made more than 10 times your money.”
“,” Parry says.

She decided to leave her number on a slip of paper just in case, and began digging around in her purse for a pen. That’s when she saw him, the handsome blond man with the brilliant blue eyes who was intently studying the board. He was over six feet tall and broad-shouldered. Worn, faded jeans hugged a set of very nice buns. He was carrying a note pad, she saw, jotting down phone numbers.
He didn’t look like a serial killer so Meri took a chance. "Are you looking to hire someone?"
He glanced down at her and she felt a jolt when those cool blue eyes fixed on her face. "Actually, I am. I’m looking for a housekeeper."
"Well, there’s a coincidence. I was just getting ready to put my number up on the board. I’m very good at housekeeping."
"It’s really more of a cleaning job," he said.
She thought of the ten dollars that was all she had left in the world. "I can do that. I don’t mind hard work and I’m very efficient."
Lily tugged on the hem of her T-shirt. "Mama, I’m hungry."
"In a minute, sweetheart." She turned back to the man, desperation mixed with hope. "I’d do a good job for you. I’m a very hard worker."
"I was really looking for someone older," he said.
"I’m twenty eight. That’s old enough to clean a house."
His mouth edged up. He had a very sexy mouth. Funny...she had never thought of a man’s lips that way.
"I see you have a daughter," he said. "What would you do with her while you’re working?"
Her stomach knotted. She really needed this job. "She’d stay out of the way, I promise. She’s very well behaved--aren’t you sweetheart?"
Lily started jumping up and down. "I’m hungry. I’m hungry!"
Meri lifted her up and propped her on a hip. "If you’ll be good, I’ll get you one of those orange-vanilla ice creams you like. But you have to be quiet until Mama finishes talking to this nice man."
Lily started nodding, visions of ice cream dancing in her four-year-old head. "Okay."
Meri set her back on her feet. When she looked at the man, she could read the amusement on his beyond attractive face. "As I said, she’s usually well behaved," she said. "You wouldn’t even know she was there."
His amusement slowly faded. "I’ll be honest, Ms...?"
"Jones. Meriwether Jones. People just call me Meri. This is my daughter, Lily."
"I’ll be honest, Meri. The house is a real mess. It’s going to need hours of hard work to get it in shape. I think you’d be better off--"
She caught his arm, stopping him mid-sentence. "I really need this job. I promise, if you hire me, you won’t be disappointed."
His gaze traveled from the reddish-brown hair she had braided into two long plaits, paused at the pink T-shirt that read I AM WOMAN, moved down over her jeans to her pink canvas sneakers. He looked at Lily, who stood quietly now, big blue eyes a little lighter than his staring back into his face.
"All right, fine. You’re hired. But my father lives in there and he isn’t going to like having a kid in the house. You have to keep your daughter away from him."
Her heart was thumping. This could be the answer to her prayers. Or a least to her immediate prayer that she could earn enough to get to a city where she could find a real job. "That won’t be a problem. He won’t even know she’s there."
"I guess we’ll see."
"How far away is the house?" Meri thought of the Chevy and wondered if she needed to use some of her remaining ten dollars to put a gallon of gas in the tank.
"Not far. Just up the road. How soon can you start?"
"If you have something there to make sandwiches, I can start today. In fact, I can start as soon as I get there."
The man pulled out his wallet and handed her two, twenty-dollar-bills. "Get some bread and meat and whatever else you need. You don’t happen to cook, do you?"

en | N/A | N/A | Identity fraud can cost a company thousands of dollars. Unauthorized use of customer accounts and personal information not only affects your customers, it hurts your business, brand and finances. Banks, health insurance companies, cable providers and many other businesses routinely become pawns in the schemes of criminals to unlawfully gain access to information, benefits, and money.can be in the form of unauthorized access to an existing account or creating a new, fraudulent account in the victim’s name. Not only is identity theft costly in terms of time and money for the victim, security breaches cause serious damage toItactively prevent identity fraud from hurting their clients and brand.
Authenticating customer numbers through caller-ID services has done little in preventing criminals from successfully conning companies out of information and money. Spoof calls, a tactic that manipulates the caller-ID display to conceal the call’s origin, can be used by criminals to con call centers into believing the call is from a legitimate client. Additionally, criminals can extract personal information from clients to be able to correctly respond to verification questions. The time and funds spent on the authentication process can drain a customer service department or call center and it may not even prevent identity fraud. Asking for a customer’s personal information in order to verify his or her identity–a process known as identity interrogation–not only feels intrusive, but it also frustrating and takes valuable time away from both the customer and the employee. In today’s fast-paced world, customers expect to access their accounts as quickly as possible, but are hindered by the drawn out process of answering questions to validate their identities. Despite the inefficiencies and inconvenience of loss of time and money, many companies continue to use identity interrogation as the primary way to guard against identity theft.
Large or small,block fraudulent activities from hurting their customers and business. Caller-ID services and software have continually adapted to the growing demand of companies that need to protect their operations. need for more time-efficient authentication processes. Companies such as TRUSTID have developed caller-ID services and firewall software that eliminate the need to ask customers to give personal information or static data to verify their identity. The TRUSTID software allows businesses to analyze and verify the identity of the caller before they are even transferred to a customer service agent. While eliminating the need to interrogate customers may seem like a small change, TRUSTID says their software and caller-ID system lowers costs for customer service departments and call centers by up to 20 percent.
Traditional authentication programs still require customer service individuals to spend time talking to customers to draw out pieces of persWhile many businesses view this outdated practice as a necessary expense of time and money, companies like TRUSTID are using technology in new ways to simplify and make the authentication process hassle-free. Identity verification processes can include obtapersonal facts like the street you grew up on or mother’s maiden name, or validating the client’s phone number. Unlawful tactics like spoof calls make protecting clients increasingly difficult. That is why TRUSTID has developed a system that can verify the identity of a caller without needing personal information and can even alert customer service agents if the the call is suspicious or potentially spoofed. In order to successfully commit identity fraud, criminals just need to obtain personal information about the client or use a caller-ID spoof technique. But with TRUSTID’s system, a criminal would have to gain access to the client’s land line or cell phone to commit the crime. This process makes the crime harder to commit because personal information is less secure than personal possessions.
These new solutions allow businesses to cut costs of customer service activities and allow their customers to access their accounts without being prompted to answer intrusive questions. Overall, companies like TRUSTID are eliminating the unnecessary and outdated customer interrogation process to verify identities and providing a more efficient alternatives. |

Weapons charges are serious in Colorado. It can be an incident that escalates to the point where someone brandishes or fires a gun and causes injury or death to another person or it can occur as part of a robbery. In some cases, the person who is accused is relatively prominent and can have his or her entire life upended by criminal charges and a conviction. To address these allegations, it is wise to prepare a strong criminal defense.
According to law enforcement, Mr. Latimer had an argument with another person at the apartment who was accused of sexually abusing his young son. The resident of the apartment had asked everyone to leave. Mr. Latimer came back a half-hour later with the weapon and brandished it. He is said to have made threats to kill the people in the apartment and fired two shots. He was arrested and charged with gun charges, assault and more. The investigation is ongoing.
Weapons charges and other criminal allegations are serious for anyone and can impact their future in myriad ways. For someone whose career has a relatively short window like a professional athlete, jail time and public disfavor that accompanies charges this serious can hinder their life for many years. Jail time, fines and other consequences are possible if there is a conviction. Addressing these charges requires a deft legal touch and pointing out potential mitigating circumstances such as Mr. Latimer’s belief that a man at the party abused his son.

"That was the month she died." He was silent, then smiled at her. "You said he lived at Gaunton, didn't you?"
"A house on the cliff, yes."
"My sister Margaret went to stay at Gaunton in the summer with her daughter and her husband. At the Dunes Hotel. Is that anywhere near?"
"Next door," she said. "A hundred yards away."
"It was July. They might have seen each other and not have known."
"Or have known," said Sarah. "You wouldn't know exactly when, would you?"
"I know they left the hotel on July the sixth, because they all came to see me here before going home."
He had had a shock. She remembered the look on his face, the dazed look. The sleepwalking look. Before he went across to the hotel with those Romneys, he had been his normal self, and when he came back, the shock was there. A sight had stunned him. He had seen his sister and recognized her after forty-six years. She hadn't known him, though. She would have come back with him if she had. The shock had gone to his heart. Had broken his heart?
"Tell me about your brother Desmond," she said.
"All right. Would you like a cup of tea?"
"I don't want anything," she said.
Her father looked at her out of Stefan's eyes. Their voices, that at first she had thought alike, really weren't at all similar. Her father's had been very deep, rich, with that underlying faint burr. Stefan, of course, had left Suffolk when he was only a little over two, when he must barely have been able to speak, and his voice was educated London. He watched her, looked away, then turned to her again as if making calculations.
"Desmond," she said gently.
"Well, Desmond," he said, "I think you know he was murdered."
"When John disappeared," Stefan went on, "Desmond was twenty and living at home, as all the rest of us were. That is, James and his wife and baby, Margaret and Mary and I, and, of course, Mother and Joseph. Desmond and I shared a room. We Ryans were a very good-looking lot, tall, dark, regular features—not me, I was the ugly one—but Desmond was the best of us. People used to say all the girls would be after him, and maybe they were, but it wouldn't have been of much interest to him."
"Yes." Stefan looked at her inquiringly. "You've been reading about the trial?"
"I didn't know, of course. Not then. None of us did. It's impossible to imagine what Joseph's reaction to such a thing would have been. You, at your age, probably don't realize how the general public felt about homosexuals in the fifties. And I, at mine, just have a sort of muddled recollection of horror at the very idea. This was many years ago, before the act that made homosexual relations between consenting adults over twenty-one legal, and feelings were as strong as they had been at the time of the Oscar Wilde case."
"I didn't know. But I've read some newspaper accounts since then."
"Then you'll know judges and magistrates were describing homosexuality as the worst evil known to man, as a hideous crime, and, above all, as a deliberate, calculated viciousness. The most liberal, the really enlightened, took the view that it could be cured, that it was a kind of madness or sickness. Right on during the sixties, men were being put into mental hospitals and given aversion therapy to 'cure' their disease."
"There's a lot about that in _A White Webfoot._ "
"Is there now? I knew nothing about homosexuality until my brother Desmond came up in court in 1955. He was found guilty of an act of gross indecency in a public lavatory and sent to prison for six months."
Sarah wanted to ask what gross indecency was but as quickly decided not to. Instead, she said very tentatively, for she was bewildered, "You don't mean with a child, with a minor?"
"He was twenty-four and the other man, so far as I remember, was over thirty. It was a crime in those days, Sarah, with anyone of any age. Fortunately—I think I can fairly say fortunately for him—Joseph was dead before it happened. He had died the previous year. National newspapers were quite reticent about cases of this sort, but local papers weren't, and it was all in the _Walthamstow Independent_ , which my brother John had worked for. All there for my mother to read."
"What did he do for a living? Desmond, I mean."
"He had had various jobs. He'd been a messenger and worked in a shop behind the counter. A gentlemen's outfitters. He'd been a barman receptionist in rather a dubious sort of hotel in Paddington. But he always had money, far more money than he could have earned by the sort of work he did. We never noticed or we never made the connection. We were innocent.
"After he came out of prison, he didn't come back to live with us. He got a flat of his own. It was in Highbury and he was set up in it by the man who killed him. There was no question of my mother not wanting to see Desmond; she wasn't like that. None of us would have rejected him, but he just didn't come back. And I don't think he ever again had a regular job. He'd call in sometimes to see her and he'd bring her presents. He was always well dressed. And he was always happy."
"You might think there wasn't much for a homosexual man to be happy about in the fifties, but he was. _Gay_ wasn't in any way a misnomer for him. In fact, _gay_ in its older sense really described him; _gaiety_ expressed him. He was nice and sweet and lovable. I don't think he was in the least bit ashamed of the kind of life he led. You might say, why should he have been? The answer to that is that everyone was always telling gay men they should be ashamed, that they were sick, that they were vicious, that they'd either chosen their way of life or else they were mentally disturbed."
Sarah considered. "Did he talk to you about it?"
"You have to understand that we didn't meet much. I went away to university in 'fifty-five, the year he went to prison, and I wasn't home much after that, except for the holidays. But he did talk to me on a couple of occasions. That's how I know he wasn't ashamed. I'm sure people would have said then that in telling me these things he was trying to corrupt me—the powers that be were very big on corruption in those days—but of course he wasn't. He wouldn't have wanted me to follow his way of life—why should he? He was he and I was I and we were different. I think he recognized, even then, that some are born gay and some straight, just as some have blue eyes and some brown. He never went into physical detail, anyway, only told me about love affairs he'd had. And he talked about clubs he went to and baths."
"You mean steam baths, Turkish baths?"
"He was very big on that. I think he enjoyed showing off his body. He liked the old men who went there looking at him. He never mentioned Givner to me—not by name, that is. It was quite simple and straightforward, you know. Givner loved him, provided him with that flat, spent money on him, and he was unfaithful to Givner. What else did the man expect? He must have been living in a dream world. You've read about the trial, you said?"
Sarah nodded. "Givner hanged himself in his cell while on remand."
"Yes. It was a terrible thing for my mother. The loss of Desmond, the trial. Everyone knew, of course. The neighbors knew."
"If Desmond had been a respectable heterosexual with a wife and children, she'd have gotten sympathy, but because he was gay and things had come out about his way of life, it was quite different?"
"That's right. By that time, James and Jackie had two children and |

THR's awards columnist weighs in on the awards prospects of the first film distributed by Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures, which hits theaters Aug. 4.
Though it’s not yet even August, awards pundits may have just seen their second film in a week that eventually will be a best picture Oscar nominee. Hot on the heels of Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk — which opened Friday, and for which there was an overflow and very appreciative crowd at the Academy on Saturday night — comes another intense, albeit very different, historical drama, Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit, the story of a largely forgotten act of police brutality against a group of young black men, and two young white women, in Michigan’s biggest city during the infamous riot of 1967.
Detroit showcases first-rate filmmaking, particularly the sizable portion of it that's set in the Algiers Motel, into which a lot of people and action are packed without ever becoming disorienting. Credit for this certainly goes to Bigelow, as well as her large ensemble of young actors — the standouts are John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), as the embodiment of good, and Will Poulter (The Revenant), as the embodiment of evil — and her collaborators, in particular, production designer Jeremy Hindle, cinematographer Barry Ackroyd, film editor William Goldenberg and composer James Newton Howard.
But most with whom I’ve spoken about Detroit agree that it's not quite as polished as Bigelow’s last two films, which, like this one, were written and co-produced by Mark Boal: The Hurt Locker (2009), which won best picture and for which Bigelow became the first woman ever to win best director; and Zero Dark Thirty (2012), which was nominated for best picture, but for which she controversially was denied a best director nom. The prevailing sentiment seems to be that her new film starts off awkwardly (with an animated sequence), goes on too long (143 minutes) and lets the steam out of its pressure cooker in a predictable and unnecessary third act.
Ultimately, though, Detroit’s Oscar prospects may have as much to do with the Academy's interest, or lack thereof, in using its spotlight as it has to do with the attributes of the film itself. (Crash, the surprise best picture winner in 2006, dealt with similar subject matter, though it was set in Los Angeles and centered on fictional events.) With a membership of unprecedented diversity at a time when racial tensions are running high and incidents of police brutality are reported regularly, there may be an added appeal in honoring Detroit.
Alternatively, voters looking to highlight today's racial tensions could line up behind another massively acclaimed early release, Jordan Peele’s Get Out, which employs a different, perhaps more widely palatable approach — satire — and, unlike Detroit, was made by a filmmaker of color. Rightly or wrongly, it must be noted that there has been some backlash in the past when white filmmakers have made films about pivotal moments in black history, most famously Rob Reiner’s Ghosts of Mississippi (1996) and Steven Spielberg's Amistad (1997).g-standing genre-biases have changed as well — and, in terms of genre, Detroit shares much more in common with Straw Dogs than, say, Moonlight. |
en | N/A | N/A | Time and Money waster # 1: Constant Interruptions. Research shows that for knowledge workers such as IT professionals, at least a fourth of their day is wasted handling interruptions. Also costly is the recovery time to return to the level of focus and attention that existed before the interruption.
Many IT professionals work inside noisy work areas, answer their desk phone and mobile phone, and are getting messages and notifications on their computer throughout the day. In most cases, companies waste at least a third of the money paid for their IT professionals due to interruptions. The financial cost of interruptions is staggering. It works so much better to control the majority of the interruptions and gain two or three hours back each day as productive time invested.
I recently watched a poor help desk professional take out his frustrations on a package delivery person making a delivery to the IT department. The help desk professional feels frustrated by users all day, and then he vents his frustrations on delivery people. Since the help desk professional’s cubical is near the other IT professionals, he effectively wastes four people’s time for more than five minutes each time.
Time and Money waster #2: Multitasking. Humans attempting to focus on two or more tasks at the same time wastes time. Just ask the families of the people killed in the train wreck earlier this year on southern California possible caused by the engineer text messaging instead of watching for “stop” signals. If your IT professional reverts to multitasking, they aay even be asking you for more help in the form of another IT professional to help them.
Time and Money waster #3: Killing alligators. Many IT professionals invest a lot of time every day responding to calls for help and putting out fires. IT professionals’ schedules are often driven by the urgent.
Solution #1: Drain the swamp. If IT professionals invest some time every day into draining the swamp, the alligators will leave. The IT professional can start doing the job they always imagined – looking towards the future and To most IT professionals, this focus on preventative maintenance sounds impossible due to the overwhelming number of alligators. The other solutions will free up the necessary time to solve this.
Solution #2: 45 minutes uninterrupted time per day. For just 3 weeks as a trial, have your IT professionals set aside at least one 45 minute period each day during which there are no interruptions. Turn off e-mail notifications. Turn off all phones and pagers. Close the door to their office. Short of the building being on fire or a primary server crashing, that IT professional is in do-not-disturb mode. IT professionals devote this time to draining the swamp. Examples include finally configuring the centralized patch management tool, configuring group policy objects, or testing the disaster recovery plan. Executives have to support this otherwise the IT professional will “give in because so-and-so’s problem was important to get to right away.” Face it; so-and-so can wait the remaining 37 minutes. This is where boundaries come in.
Solution #3: Have strong boundaries. IT professionals need to use good relationship skills with users and being friendly and available is included. The being available for friendly banter must be limited though. If the CEO does not have time to visit with an employee – most people understand since the CEO is taking care of tasks that are imperative to the success of the business. IT professionals also takeAs long as the IT department is being productive, it is ok for them to close their office door. They have to be strong enough to be able to say, “I would love to come fix your ink jet printer at your desk, and will do so tomorrow, but for today please use the network printer down the hall.” The IT professional should not even need to add, “So I can prevent the RAID array in the server from crashing and necessitating a full restore from last night’s backup.” Just the fact that the IT professional is busy should be enough. In order to enjoy this freedom, the IT professional also must earn the trust of the executives and the users. Increase this trust through IT evaluations and third party reviews of the IT department.
Solution #4: Separate office or place to go hide. Provide a “safe zone” for the IT professionals, even if that is an unused conference room for the 45-minute part of the day. Some users are so tenacious that they will “track IT down” and IT professionals need a place to focus each day.
Solution #5: Come in early and go home early. Many IT professionals are happy to start their day one or two hours early in return for being able to go home earlier. If your organization has multiple IT professionals, they can stagger their schedules. The 6am to 8am period often proves to be the most productive time of the day for an IT professional who comes in early.

en | N/A | N/A | It's an undisputed fact that celebrities attend a lot of events.
From award ceremonies to film premieres, interviews, fashion events and parties, there's always somewhere to be if you're a star.
This means two things. One, eventually a star will step out at one of these events in a dress so good, it instantly becomes associated with them as one of their most iconic looks.
And two, occasionally—very occasionally!—another celebrity will step out at a different event and wear the exact same thing... only to be shuffled into Second Place.
From Jennifer Lopez's signature green Versace gown being given a second run by Geri Halliwell, to model Veronica Webb trying her hand at Elizabeth Hurley's safety-pin dress, these 10 iconic looks got two lives.
It's hard to think of a dress more iconic than Jennifer Lopez's jungle-printed Versace gown. In fact, it's so iconic, it was literally the reason Google Images was invented. But few know that Spice Girl Geri Halliwell also stepped out in it a month before JLo did.
While it's easily one of the most iconic Cannes Film Festival fashion moments in recent history, Bella Hadid wasn't the first to wear this fiery red archive dress by Roberto Cavalli—and it wasn't the first time it had appeared at the festival. Incidentally, the asymmetric gown was previously worn by Sharon Stone, when she attended a Cannes party in 2013 (looking equally incredible).
One of her most successful and loved 'princess looks,' Kate Middleton has actually worn this Jenny Packham gown twice. Another royal who stepped out in it? Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg.
As far as iconic movie looks go, Carrie Bradshaw's ivory Vivienne Westwood gown is right up the top. Singer Nicola Roberts also gave it (albeit, a shorter version) a go in 2009.
When she stepped out of the car at Cliveden House as 'Ms Meghan Markle' for the very last time, only to graduate to 'Meghan, Duchess of Sussex' the next morning, Meghan Markle wore this navy Roland Mouret dress. The waterfell dress with off-the-shoulder straps quickly became one of the most Googled and Pinterested looks.
Jennifer Garner also gave it a go, three months later.
When Beyoncé took to the Global Citizen Festival stage in South Africa in December 2018, her frothy fuchsia Ashi Studio gown quickly became the most talked about of her six different outfits. However, before the Lemonade chanteuse made it her own, Bollywood icon Deepika Padukone took it for a red carpet spin at the May 2018 Cannes Film Festival.
It's one thing for someone else to wear your dress, it's quite another to wear at the same event. But that's what happened to Jennifer Lopez and Luciana Pedraza. Heralded as one of JLo's most successful Oscars looks, Pedraza wore it in a peach tone.
Said to be Gomez's post-breakup 'revenge' dress, she wore this red mini Dior dress so well that many of us forgot that supermodel Irina Shayk also rocked the exact same dress. |
en | N/A | N/A | 2019 certainly felt like a year of change – at the very least, the start of what could be a really important shift in the way both manufacturers and consumers understand, use and dispose of packaging.
We’ve all seen the shocking scenes on David Attenborough’s Blue Planet and that ‘Blue Planet Effect’ has been built on further by high profile campaigners including Attenborough, Greta Thunberg and Al Gore alongside groups like Extinction Rebellion. This has resulted in a significant shift in social psychology when it comes to the waste, recycling and environment.
Some packaging promises have been rushed out in response to media and public pressure, but with limited or no connection to realistic recycling outcomes. Each message may focus on a small section of the wider objectives to ‘be green’ – for example, labelling something ‘100% recyclable’ doesn’t mean that every bit of this material will be recycled, despite it technically being eligible to be marked as such.
One recent example is Mcdonald’s drinking straws – these are technically 100% recyclable. However, as soon as they are used, and contaminated with a drink such as milkshake or lemonade, they cannot be recycled. So, in truth, labelling them as ‘100% recyclable’ is an attempt to alleviate the concerns of the consumer, whilst making little to no improvements on recycling rates for that product.
My advice in setting your brand’s packaging objectives, is to really consider the purpose of your packaging – that is, to store, protect and preserve – but alongside an equal consideration for their disuse, reuse, disposal and recyclability.
Whether your company and/or brand operate in a retail or B2B market, consumers now expect to see truthful environmental credentials with reasonable statistics and long-term forecasts for positive environmental impact. Simply skirting around a great sounding but empty green promise is not a long-term plan. Committing to environmentally sustainable packaging design must be workable and genuine – which means it also cannot be rushed through to tick temporary boxes. |

Tune-up Your Garage with These Simple Steps |
en | N/A | N/A | Stuck in a car with twin infants for 28 hours?Most people might think that’s what nightmares are made of…But, it doesn’t have to be THAT awful!
Recently, my husband and I took our nearly 8-month-old twins on their very first family vacation. Each summer, my family and I spend time at our family beach house near Destin, Florida. Now that we have kids, we wanted to carry on that tradition!
The most important thing we planned ahead for?
Baby bath tub (to bathe them if you still use those AND/OR to fill with water and bring to the beach for the same reason above!
The next thing we learned was how to win the most intense game of Tetris (aka jamming everything into the car). In all reality, my husband was the mastermind behind it!
Efficiency was our priority. We could have stopped at restaurants to take the twins into the bathroom for diaper changes, but that would have been time-consuming with lines and such. Instead, we expedited the process by doing it all in the car during our pit stops. Remember those Boppy Newborn Loungers I said we packed?We took a Boppy and temporarily placed it in the front passenger seat and changed their diapers in it. It was comfortable for them and allowed them to lay down since all they had been doing was sitting up. Since I kept the diaper bag right there at my feet, I had everything I needed nearby. This system worked great!
Netflix has some educational baby shows (i.e. Little Baby Bum) that you can check out; typically, I don’t promote TV-watching for babies but with this long of a car ride it was very helpful!
Unfortunately, I didn't know about these until it was too late to use them on our road trip. We plan to use these during our next road trip, though!It hangs on the back seat, provides extra storage, and keeps iPads in place/safe for baby to watch!
Based on the recommendation of a friend with kids, we stayed at the Jackson Marriott hotel for $99 on the way to FL. Since we drove a different route going home, we stayed at the Staybridge Suites in Lafayette, LA. Looking back, I preferred the latter. Not only was the route faster, but we liked the hotel better. Having a suite with a full kitchen and a living room was the way to go!It made storing bottles in the refrigerator and washing bottles in the kitchen sink a breeze. Plus, there was plenty of room for 2 cribs. The added bonus was that I booked that hotel on Priceline Express Deals for only $59 (instead of the normal price of $129). That included a spacious suite, crib, free internet, free breakfast, and it was a safe family-friendly building. Umm amazing?
In the end, the important part was that we got there and made some great family memories. Also coming up…. in a few weeks, we are vacationing in La Jolla, California!It will be the twins’ FIRST FLIGHT (yikes). Stay tuned to hear what we learn from our next travel adventure! |
en | N/A | N/A | has been urged to invest in the telecommunication industry,so as to increase revenue base of the state.
The Managing Director, Endykay Communications, Engr. Kelechi Ogirinya, in Port Harcourt.
He said telecom has become the world’s largest income spinner and should be accessed by business minded people and government.
Ogirinya, noted that tur after the oil and gas industry.
According to him, any state government which ventures into the sector would not only increase its revenue base but willstate.
He said the Wike-led government should consider it as urgent and act swiftly especially this period of economic stagnation.
The telecommunication engineer, suggested that the state could also partner with some private investors to achieve the goal.
He noted that some top players in the industry may want to frustrate the moves, saying that the partnership arrangement would provide a safe landing ground for the state government.
He expressed hope that the state would succeed should the government venture into the project.
According to him, business ventures like telecom takes huge investment and state. Like Rivers can afford to invest in such sector.
Whether there is some existing laws prohibiting the state ownership of telecommunication, he said he was not aware, but partnership or acquiring huge shares would solve the puzzle.
He called for training and re-training of ICT operators in order to keep them up to-date. |

So yesterday i took night bus and headed there.
Bangkok is little more than 500km away from Sihunakville, but in reality it not that easy. There is no direct bus on this route. You can take do-it-yourself journey with 4 connections using short route or take long 3-connection way, which are selling as package ticket with night sleeping bus. I choose the second option, which is longer, but will save me several dozen bucks if taking in account accomodation. They sell it as 13 hours ride, but in reality all the way takes something between 22 and 26 hours. I ended up with 24. Thankfully i knew about it, but most people taking same route were shocked.
One man lost his connection to the plane because of it, which is really wierd.
Lesson 1: in Asia make sure to have enough time for difficult connections. The chance of wrong information or that something will go in another way is very big.
That man told me his brief story: he is in his late 60’s and doing his 4th backpacking RTW. He starts in 80’s taking his first journey at 33 and spending 10$/day. He lost almost all his savings because of recent economic crisis in USA and went traveling again using big amount of loyalty miles he saved. Last year he broke his back in Vietnam and now it’s obviously hard for him to move. But he do it!
I can’t imagine what power and how strong is his love for travel if he is doing it!
Interesting, but before i heard his story i took him like little wierd. There was couple of young ladys with us, who decided that party must go on in bus. Not the best idea for a long journey. They ended up drunken and not adequate, hardly understanding what’s going on.
Lesson 2: Never drink on hard connections.
On one of the bus changes when they came late to the bus, there were no double bed for them, only sleeping separately with two other single mans. Stuff got nothing else, but to rearrange some of single mans, including that 70 years old man. As i wrote previously, he got back problems. So i just have heard how he cryed loud.
Later in the morning i saw how he cryed at this girls. Without perspective it looked wierd and we took him as very strange person, though those 2 drunken ladys were really wierd too. But later when he tells his story, i realized that it’s another good lesson for me.
Lesson 3: never jurge anyone.
I always knew that there is usually good reason why people are who they are and i had to be patient and try to understand. Probably i could be wierd for someone, too. |
en | N/A | N/A | A court clerk told our reporter that some lawyers in the state were approached to take up the case, but they all refused.
Adeyemi, who had been remanded at the Olokuta Medium Prison, appeared before the sitting Judge, Justice Samuel Bola, for the continuation of the case at the Ondo State High Court.
Victoria Bob-Manuel of the Magistrate Court in Akure had transferred the murder case to the State High Court afterHowever, the murder case which came up for mentioning at Court 4 of the State High Court, could not continue as the suspect had no legal representation to defend his case.
SaharaReporters gathered that inside the State High Court, no lawyer was interested in taking the case.
Olawoye, who is also the State's Attorney General, said the case is a capital offence and by law, therefore, the defendant must be represented in court by a defence counsel.
"He has constitutional right to fair hearing, but after we served all the processes on him personally, we discovered that he has not gotten legal representation," he said.
In his reaction, Justice Bola immediately asked the officials from the Olokuta Medium Prison to meet with the suspect’s family on finding him a legal representative in subsequent trials. |
en | N/A | N/A | Doncaster family left ‘devastated’ by burglary carried out at their home in dead of night
A Doncaster family have been left ‘devastated’ by a burglary carried out at their home while they were asleep upstairs.
Tomy Cottingham, 32, broke into the home of a family living on Great North Road, Woodlands between 10.30pm on September 26, 2018 and 4.30am the following morning, Sheffield Crown Court heard.
“The patio doors had been forced, and an untidy search was carried out. Jewellery, bank cards, electrical items and car keys were stolen,” Susan Evans prosecuting, told the court.
The family were asleep while the burglary took place, and awoke to discover the home had been raided.
When police subsequently examined the property, a finger print matching Cottingham’s was found on a windowsill.
READ MORE: Body found in search for missing Doncaster man, aged 21family described how the burglary had ‘devastated’ them, both financially and emotionally.
They said: “We are a working family...and have had to pay £800 to have an alarm and CCTV fitted, and have had to pay £300 in an insurance excess, and to have new car keys programmed.
“But that is just money...my daughter is now afraid to be on her own. My husband constantly looks outside at everyone going past, he has become paranoid. We have all been traumatised by this invasion of our home. I personally feel broken.”
Ms Evans described how Cottingham attempted to use one of the bank cards stolen from the premises at 4.15am on the morning of September 28, but it was refused.
Cottingham, of The Ridge, Woodlands was caught on CCTV attempting to use the card.
The court heard how Cottingham was also caught attempting to use another stolen bank card at the One Stop Shop on Great North Road, Woodlands just two days before the burglary was carried out.
He later returned to the One Stop Shop in the early hours of December 7 last year, when he broke in to the convenience store.
Ms Evans described how he caused damage to the tills and National Lottery kiosk, and was attempting to flee the scene by exiting through the roof of the store when police arrived.
They later arrested him at his mother’s address, the court heard.
Cottingham, who has previously been convicted of some 68 offences, dwelling-house burglary and one count of commercial burglary at an earlier hearing.
Defending, Cheryl Dudley, described Cottingham as someone who had a ‘binge-drinking’ problem, and said he had found it difficult to access the help he needed from Doncaster’s alcohol support services because he did not have any alcohol in his system when he was breathalysed by the service.
She said Cottingham burgled the property with others, whose identities are not known, and he acted as look-out.
“He has made matters worse for himself, and knows this crosses the custody threshold,” said Ms Dudley.
Recorder Duncan Smith adjourned the hearing until tomorrow morning (January 3, 2019), to consider what sentence should be passed. |

en | N/A | N/A | "It took three days. It was monsoon, with dark clouds hanging over the factory that gave me the idea for the picture, bue only location to shoot from was a small railway cabin near one of the contaminated colonies. I went each morning and afternoon for about three days. The clouds would melt away, we'd leave, and then I'd see the clouds thickening again, so I'd run back. I knew this would be one of my leading pictures, if I could get it right. I took probably more than 200 pictures from the cabin, experimenting with different zooms, changing angles, waiting and hoping. At some point, everything came together, the clouds were in the best position they could be. Luck comes when all the elements are already in place and you're waiting prepared."
Since the nearly 30 years since the chemical leak, Bhopal residents have seen many different members of the media. Masi said he worked with two local fixers and that most of those he met understood why he was there to document their community. "I don't go into someone's home to get the shot I want, but to work with what's actually happening there," he said. "I don't ask peopl almost post that sort of fakery in the pictures…I want to make images that will touch the emotions of people who see them. To do this I have to allow my own emotions to be touched, and sometimes affected. When I have my camera to my eye, I think only of the picture I'm taking, but technique is useless if I do not feel. I cannot describe a feeling, just feel it and try to find a visual style that will evoke that feeling when people see my pictures."
His goal, Masi said, is for his images to be a catalyst of change for the people of Bhopal. "n a book will allow me to reach, inform,stive and proactive ways." |

Last 10: Columbus 4-4-2; Montreal 4-4-then-Columbus goalie Mathieu Garon stopped 29 shots against his former team en route to a 3-0 victory at Nationwide Arena on Nov. 2, 2010. Derick Brassard, Rick Nash and Kyle Wilson scored the goals.

Carter was out of the lineup on Friday with a left ankle sprain and is listed as day-to-day, according to coach Scott Arniel. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Carter, who has 3 goals and 8 points in 15 games, had ght foot. He hasn't scored fewer than 33 goals in any of the last three seasons. Carter was traded by the Flyers to Columbus the day before the 2011 NHL Draft for wing Jakub Voracek and a first- and third-round draft choice.
Blue Jackets: While the setback to Carter was a disappointment for the Blue Jackets in a 6-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Friday, there was some positive news in that forwardy. The left wing, who saw time with center Antoine Vermette and Nash, finished with a minus-2 rating in 19:27 of ice time. Huselius had missed 68 of the Blue Jackets' last 90 games aa groin injury at midseason and a late hip injury that ultimately required surgery.
Canadiens: General manager Pierre Gauthierthat defenseman Andrei Markov , delaying his return once again. Markov, who had been cleared to play in late November, is now expected to return to the lineup after Christmas. Gauthier said the prognosis is that Markov will be able to return in three weeks or longer depending on what is found during the surgery.
The Canadiens, meanwhile, scored a 2-1 victory over the Kings on Saturday behind a 26-save performance by goalie Carey Price, ending a four-game losing streak. Tomas Plekanec and Andrei Kostitsyn scored goals for the Canadiens.
Who's Hot: Derek Dorsett scored twice for the Blue Jackets on Friday and has 3 goals in his last four games. … Kostitsyn has 4 goals and 6 points over his last seven games for the Canadiens.
Injury report: For the Blue Jackets, Carter (left ankle sprain) is day-to-day and defenseman Radek Martinek (concussion) is out. … The Canadiens are without defensemen Markov (knee) and Chris Campoli (hamstring) and forward Ryan White (lower body). Forward Scott Gomez (lower body) and defenseman Jaroslav Spacek (upper body) are day-to-day.
Stat pack: The Blue Jackets are 2-13-1 when either Carter or defenseman James Wisniewski is out of the lineup. … Canadiens defenseman Josh Gorges logged a team-high 26:08 of ice time against the Kings, while fellow blueliner Hal Gill amassed a game-high 8:16 of penalty-kill time.
Puck drop: The Canadiens lead the League with 450 blocked shots, a big reason the club has allowed just 12 power-play goals in 110 opposing chances this season. The team owns the third-best penalty-killing unit in the NHL (89.1 percent). |

en | N/A | N/A | Combinatorics is the branch of discrete mathematics concerned with counting problems. Techniques for counting are important in Mathematics and Computer Science especially in the analysis of algorithms and in the theory of probability.
If the object A may be chosen in ‘m’ ways, and B in ‘n’ ways, then “either A or B” (exactly one) may be chosen in m + n ways. This can be generalized for any ‘p’ objects
If the object A may be chosen in ‘m’ ways and the object B in ‘n’ ways, then “A and B” may be chosen in this order in ‘mn’ ways. This can be generalized for any ‘p’ ways.
If there are 42 ways to select a representative for class A and 50 ways to select a representative for the class B, then
(i) By the rule of product, there are 42 × 50 ways to select the representative for both the class A and class B.
(ii) By the rule of sum, there will be 42 + 50 ways to select a representative for either class A or class B.
Suppose a license plate contains 2 letters followed by four digits, with the first digit is not zero. How many different license plates can be printed?
Each letter can be printed in 26 different ways. Since the first digit is other than zero, this can be selected in 9 ways. Second, third and fourth digits can be selected in 10 ways.
Therefore by the rule of product, there are 26 × 26 × 9 × 10 × 10 × 10 ways.
Special case: All are distinct
First letter can be printed in 26 ways. Second letter can be printed in 25 ways. First digit can be printed in 9 ways (any one from 0 to 9 except chosen first digit). Third digit can be printed in 8 ways. Fourth digit can be printed in 7 ways.
Therefore, by the rule of product, there are 26 × 26 × 9 × 9 × 8 × 7 ways.
Suppose we want to choose two persons from a party consisting of 35 members as president and vice-president. In how many ways can this be done?
Here, Subtask 1 is ‘choosing a president’. This can be done in 35 ways. Subtask 2 is ‘choosing a vice-president’. For each choice of president, we can choose the vice-president in 34 ways. Therefore, the total number of ways in which Subtasks 1 and 2 can be done is 35 × 34 = 1190.
There are three political parties, P1, P2, and P3. The party P1 has 4 members, P2 has 5 members and P3 has 6 members in an assembly. Suppose we want to select two persons, both from the same party, to become president and vice president. In how many ways can this be done?
From P1, we can do the task in 4 × 3 = 12 ways, using the multiplication principle. From P2, it can be done in 5 × 4 = 20 ways. From P3 it can be done in 6 × 5 = 30 ways. So, by the addition principle, the number of ways of doing the task is 12 + 20 + 30 = 62.
Though both these principles seem simple, quite a number of combinatorial enumerations can be done with them. For instance, what we see from Example 03 is that the addition principle helps us to count all possible arrangements grouped into mutually exclusive and exhaustive classes.
Find the number of words of length 4, meaningful or not, made with the letters a, b, …, j.
There are 10 letters from a, b, c, …, j. Here we apply the multiplication principle. Each letter has 10 possibilities. Therefore, the total number of words is = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 104.
If n couples are at a dance, in how many ways can the men and women be paired for a single dance?
Suppose we number the men as 1, 2, 3,…, n. Then the first man can be paired with any of the n women, the second can be paired with any from the remaining (n − 1) women, and so on. Hence, the number of ways of pairing is n × (n − 1) × … × 1 = n!.
How many integers between 100 and 999 consist of distinct even digits?
By the multiplication principle, the number of integers between 100 and 999 with all digits even is 4 ×5 × 5 = 100
Consider all the numbers between 100 and 999 that have distinct digits. How many of them are odd?
For a number to be odd the last digit should be odd. So, the last position can be filled up in 5 ways. If the middle position is filled up by 0, then the first position can be filled up in 8 ways. Thus the number of odd numbers with 0 in the middle position and all digits distinct is 40, by the multiplication principle.
If the middle position is filled up by a digit other than 0, then this can be done in 8 ways. Then the first position can be filled up in 7 ways. So, the number of odd numbers with all digits distinct with the middle digit not zero is 5 × 8 × 7 = 280. |

en | N/A | N/A | Unlike most of the towns we have visited during the Euro2008 Tour, we are not in the historical center of Sorrento. In fact, we are in the suburbs, and consequently, first impressions of Sorrento are not positive. Grace wants to return to Taormina; I can certainly see a case for that idea. We are in a nest of newer apartment blocks and tourist hotels, located just off the Corso Italia. Cars, buses, and motor scooters blast continuously along the road in a frenetic roar.
I take an early walk around the neighborhood. A grove of ancient olive trees stands a block west of us, packed incongruously among the high-rise apartments. Wooden scaffolding ranges around the base of the gnarled trees, designed to support green mesh nets. The nets automatically collect the olives as they plop off the trees, which is certainly a different system than what we saw in Turkey.
Around noon, the team makes its first official foray into town. We locate a restaurant for lunch, just off the Piazzo Tasso. The food is of poor quality, expensive, and the street corner is noisy. While we are eating, three Americans—two men and a woman—enter the restaurant, take a seat at one of the tables, and begin eating food that they purchased out on the street. They are extremely offended when the waitress asks them to move on. “Okay, okay, we're going, we're going,” sputters one of the men. Strange customs here in Italy: American restaurants always let you bring your own food for a picnic at their tables.
We find the older quarter of Sorrento, south of the Piazzo Tasso, more congenial. Here are the narrow, pedestrianized alleys, quiet churches, and tourist kitsch we have come to love. The girls are back in souvenir heaven, poking their heads into every open shop, while I occupy myself with my camera.
Back to the flat, via some of the local grocery stores. For dinner, I have decided to try an authentic Sicilian pasta recipe I had memorized out of a cook book I had thumbed in Taormina. Simple enough: courgettes fried in olive oil, then dumped over a bed of golden penne, dressed with a touch more olio and Parmesan cheese. It proves delicious—the girls consume their share without complaint.
Mary and I round off our meal with a small bottle (shaped like a cello) of limoncello, the lemon-flavored liqueur that is one of Sorrento's specialties. Sorrento is at the heart of Italian lemon country, and one of the leading producers of limoncello. The drink is made from lemon peels, sugar, water, and alcohol. A small glass, chilled on a hot summer's day, is just the thing.
Nor is it so bad on a cool October evening either. |

5.2.2 Polyethylene protection films market estimates and forecasts in interior application, 2014 - 2025 ('000 Sq. Mtrs.) (USD Million). </s> I'm 1) Is there a safe way to detect if dos.library is 'ready' after RT_INIT?
2) Is there another way to run the code at the 'right' time?
After some research and testing, I found a quite 'reliable' workaround for 2.x/3.x ROMs. The Initial CLI process calls exec.library/InitCode() for the 'AFTERDOS' modules after the dos.library fields are more or less initialized, and before the preferences are read and the ":S/startup-sequence" is used as input. One of this modules is the "ramlib" module, which creates a process with the same name, that runs forever in a message loop. Therefore, waiting for a "ramlib" task allows to 'sync' to the dos.library initialization.
What happens if you wait until a call to OpenLibrary("dos.library") succeeds ?
Already tried it (sorry, forgot to mention it). Still results in an alert if CreateProc is called right after opening the dos.library sucessfully.
This seems to be tricky problem. For some reason dos seems to do AddLibrary("me") very early, before it is fully initialized.
This is what boot blocks do, FindResident("dos.library") starts dos.library (if it has not been started yet) which probably is not what you want to do while dos library is still getting initializedsk.
So I'll abandon the idea of running the Workbench from the boot block, and will develop my own LoadWB.
I updated the attached source code in the initial post7. </s> When I was a beginning therapist, professors and colleagues consistently warned me to put myself first–even before my work and my clients. I could not imagine that. I went into this field because I wanted to help others. Didn’t that mean that if someone needed me, I would help them, even if I hadn’t had time to care for me that day? So I put others first. My clients, my friends, and my family. Over the course of a year, I was burnt out. I had chronic headaches, I was overeating as an attempt to alleviate my exhaustion, and my own emotions were all over the place.
Then I was taught DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I thought I was learning this therapy only to treat my clients with disordered eating, but it really saved my life. As I studied and taught the self care skills of DBT, I practiced them in my own life, and started to understand what putting myself first means, in action rather than just theory.
Think about it this way: if your health goes down the drain, are you even going to be around or available to help anyone else?
What about your goals, hopes and aspirations? Are you putting them off to the side until everyone else is taken care of? If you are not taking the time you need to make yourself a priority, it is time to make a goal to do |

Gating, Integration and Averaging
Boxcar averagers generally consist of two components; a gated integrator and a signal averager. The gate function acts on the time domain and requires a start point and an end point for the measurement. When the gate is open the input signal gets integrated and when it is closed no signal is integrated. The integrated result corresponds to the area underneath the pulse. The integration can also be delayed compared to the start event. Assuming the input unit is Volts, the output unit of the boxcar integrator is V * s.
A second common measurement method is dynamic, as a sweep of the gating delay is performed in combination with a short integration time (smaller than the length of the pulse) and can be used to depict the waveform of the pulse instead.
Numerous advantages are provided by digital boxcars including superior specifications, a wider range of settings and unique features that cannot be practically offered by analog instruments. Digital boxcars are only suited to recover signals from periodic sources. In this respect the capability is marginally lower compared to analog instruments that can easily cope with asynchronous pulsed events. For most applications, however, this limitation is not considered problematic.

en | N/A | N/A | Article 29 Working Party Issues BCR Guidelines for Data Processors | HL Chronicle of Data Protection
The EU website lists 28 corporate groups for which the EU BCR process for data controllers is closed. Very similar to WP 153 (adopted in 2008) with tools to facilitate the use of BCRs for data controllers, the Working Party now targeted data processors. This document was expected for a long time, since many cloud service providers process data on a global basis for their customers, and had to rely on the Model Contracts for Data Processors or Safe Harbor certification, but were not eligible for BCRs.
The clearest difference from the BCRs for controllers are the rules on the relationship with the “Service Agreement”, the agreement between controller and processor containing the instructions regarding the data processing and the security and confidentiality measures. The BCRs must become part of such Service Agreement. The BCRs have to contain obligations toward the controller, like the duty to inform the controller about data breaches, or to co-operate and assist the controller to comply with data protection laws, such as its duty to handle complaints by data subjects.
WP195 tries to balance the interests of the parties to the Service Agreement, by enabling the processor to change sub-processors under existing BCRs, but at the same time requiring notice to the controller about such change to give the controller a chance to terminate the Service Agreement.
A particular concern could be raised by the rules on liability and burden of proof. The BCRs must contain a duty for the EU headquarter of the processor to accept responsibility for all breaches caused by external sub-processors established outside the EU and to pay compensation for any damages. It is for this member of the group to prove that such sub-processor was not responsible for the breach of the BCR. This sounds very similar to the Working Party’s FAQs in WP155 for controllers. However, the burden of proof requested here directly affects the contractual risks and rights between the two commercial parties of the Service Agreement. It will be interesting to discuss whether the commercial parties (controller and processor) may validly deviate in their negotiations from this rule, provided the data subject’s rights (which WP195 requires to be protected identically) remain unaffected.
Similar to the toolbox for controllers the BCRs for processors need to clarify the internal and the external binding nature and the means to guarantee it. The BCRs must especially grant certain rights to the data subjects, e.g., the right to enforce the BCR as a third-party beneficiary, or the right to lodge a complaint before the DPA or courts having jurisdiction over the EU controller. Further the BCRs need to state several methods of effectiveness like an appropriate training program for the processor’s employees, a guideline and special contact points for the case a data subject complain about a breach of the BCRs, the implementation of an audit program covering the BCRs or the duty to cooperate with the DPAs.
The BCRs for processors also need to comprise a description of processing and data flows, including the entities which are part of the BCRs and a statement of the material as well as geographical scope. Hence, the BCRs shall give a general description to the DPA of the expected nature of the transferred data, the anticipated purposes and data importers/exporters in the EU and outside of the EU. Further it is necessary to establish a process for updating the BCR and a detailed description of the privacy principles including the rules on transfers out of the EU.
The new document of the Article 29 Working Group fills an important gap. In particular against the background of the new proposal for a EU Data Protection Regulation with – for the first time – provisions on BCRs, the extension of BCRs to processors is a positive step. Cloud service providers, outsourcing providers, and any other company offering global data processing services to customers in the EU will now have to consider current approaches and whether it is time to start the process to adopt BCRs.

Nel 1958 un esemplare di Ensign con motore da 1.670 cm³ venne provato dalla rivista The Motor. Fu registrata una velocità massima di 124,9 km/h ed un'accelerazione da 0 a 97 km/h di 24,4 secondi. Il consumo di carburante fu di 9,9899 sterline.
Il modello possedeva dei sedili anteriori e posteriori a panchina. Il fodero era in Vynide, cioè un tipo di tessuto sintetico, oppure, su richiesta, in pelle. Erano offerti di serie l'impianto di riscaldamento ed i lavacristalli elettrici. La radio era disponibile invece come optional. Il motore era in line 2.088 cm³.
Nel 1958 un esemplare di Standard Vignale33,3 km/h ed un'accelerazione da 0 a 97 km/h di 20,8 secondi. Il consumo di carburante fu di147 sterline.
L'ultima Vanguard è stata introdotta alla fine del 1960. Possedeva un motore a sei cilindri da 1.991 cm³ di cilindrata, da cui il nome "Six" (che significa "sei" in inglese). Le valvole era in testa. Questo propulsore venne in seguito montato sulla Triumph 2000. Il rapporto di compressione era 8:1, e l'alimentazione era assicurata da due carburatori Solex. La potenza erogata era 80 CV a 4.500 giri al minuto. Esternamente, la Vanguard Six si distingueva dalle Vanguard ordinarie solamente dalla presenza di una scritta che riportava il nome del modello. Gli interni invece erano di fattura superiore. Il cambio era manuale a tre o quattro rapporti. Erano anche disponibili, come optional, il cambio automatico e l'overdrive.
Nel 1960 un esemplare di Standard Vanguard Six40,3 km/h ed un'accelerazione da 0 a 97 km/h di 17 secondi. Il consumo di carburante fu di 1121 sterline.
Nel 1950, in Australia, venne lanciata una versione, della Phase I, pick-up due porte. Essa aveva installato lo stesso motore della versione berlina, vale a dire un propulsore in linea a quattro cilindri e valvole in testa, avente una cilindrata di 2.088 cm³. Questa versione fu prodotta fino al 1964.
Sia la Vanguard che la Ensign vennero rimpiazzate nel 1963 dalla Triumph 2000. Con la fine della produzione dei modelli, che furono gli ultimi prodotti dalla casa automobilistica di Coventry, il nome della Standard scomparve dal mercato britannico dopo 60 anni di attività.

en | N/A | N/A | En Marche dit aux étudiants : sois jeune et endette toi !
Depuis plusieurs semaines, la jeunesse se mobilise pour alerter sur des conditions de vie rendues encore plus difficile par le confinement. Le 20 janvier plusieurs milliers d’étudiants descendaient dans les rues partout en France avec un slogan : #Génération_sacrifiée. Ce mardi 26 janvier les étudiants ont a nouveau battu le pavé rejoignant en nombre les cortèges des enseignants.
Les raisons de leur colère ? Une précarité accrue par une crise sanitaire dont ils dénoncent la gestion calamiteuse. Depuis mars, nombre d’entre eux sont en effet confinés dans des chambres exiguës, parfois insalubre, avec leur écran d’ordinateur comme seul lien social. Cette situation a pris un tournant dramatique depuis quelques semaines, alors que les suicides d’étudiants isolés se multiplient.
Parmi leurs revendications : le RSA pour les moins de 25 ans, et la garantie de pouvoir vivre dignement. Face à cette mobilisation, le gouvernement, qui depuis bientôt un an préfère l’ignorance à l’action, s’est vu contraint de lâcher du lest et a avancé quelques mesures. C’est par la voix de son délégué général Stanislas Guérini, que le mouvement présidentiel a fait ce mardi 26 janvier une proposition pour le moins étonnante : 10 000 euros, prêtés généreusement à taux zéro, avec un remboursement possible sur 30 ans.
Face à la détresse étudiante, Guérini propose aux jeunes de s’endetter !
Fausse bonne idée de la part d’un mouvement qui ne peut accepter qu’un étudiant doive avant tout étudier, et non pas travailler ou se soucier d’un futur prêt à rembourser. Il s’agit d’une réponse de banquier, digne de la #logique_néolibérale défendue par Emmanuel Macron et son gouvernement. Elle n’est pas adaptée à la réalité de la vie étudiante.
Quoi de mieux que de commencer sa vie avec une épée de Damoclès de 10 000 euros au-dessus de la tête ? Avec ce fardeau, il semble difficile qu’un étudiant puisse choisir librement son orientation professionnelle. Cette réalité mettrait d’autant plus en danger les étudiants issus des classes populaires qui ne peuvent se reposer sur leur famille afin de les aider en cas de difficultés financières.
Les recherches à ce sujet montrent qu’étudier est une activité qui doit s’exercer à temps plein pour garantir la réussite des étudiants. Ceux qui cumulent job étudiant et cours ne le font pas par choix : pour 51% d’entre eux, ce travail est indispensable pour vivre, et 73% d’entre eux affirment qu’ils le font pour améliorer leur niveau de vie. On estime qu’un étudiant qui cumule travail et études sacrifie en moyenne 13 heures de travail universitaire par semaine (heures de cours ou travail personnel) par rapport à un étudiant qui ne travaillerait pas. Si l’on ajoute à cela le fait que 800 000 étudiants sont arrivés sur le marché du travail cet année, avec peu de perspective d’embauche, le plan du gouvernement 1 jeune une solution, semble se transformer rapidement en 1 étudiant un endettement.
La #dette_étudiante présente également un autre problème, et non des moindres : ces prêts étudiants, s’ils ne pouvaient être remboursés, prépareraient un nouveau krach financier. Cette proposition est d’autant plus inquiétante dans le contexte de la crise économique qui s’annonce. La dette étudiante est déjà une bombe à retardement aux Etats-Unis. Il serait dangereux d’entraîner la France dans cette logique. Le gouvernement prétend que toute personne dont les revenus seraient en dessous de 1 800 euros par mois n’aurait pas à s’embarrasser de rembourser ce prêt. Sous quelles conditions ? Suffirait-il à un moment dans sa vie de gagner plus que cette somme pour devoir rembourser ? Un prêt à rembourser pèse de toute manière déjà lourdement sur un revenu de 1 800 euros par mois.
Les étudiants ne sont pas dupe face à un gouvernement qui, par la voix de son parti, cherche à se montrer attentif à leur situation, quand « en même temps », ses ministres font le tour des plateaux télé pour déclarer que les jeunes ne rêvent pas de revenus pour les aider à étudier mais d’un travail, comme l’a déclaré Bruno Le Maire. Stanislas Guérini déclare qu’ « Il est insupportable de voir des jeunes abandonner un projet d’avenir ou leurs études, de les voir baisser les bras. » N’est-il pourtant pas le délégué général du parti au pouvoir ? La jeunesse ne souhaite pas de fausses considérations, mais des actions réelles, et mises en œuvre en urgence, car de toute évidence la situation presse.
Il est donc urgent de proposer aux étudiants une solution afin d’assurer leur avenir sans s’endetter : c’est le but notamment de la garantie dignité proposée par la France Insoumise : compléter les revenus des jeunes, afin qu’aucun d’entre eux ne vive en dessous du seuil de pauvreté (1063 euros par mois). En attendant, les organisations de jeunesse et syndicats demandent à Emmanuel Macron l’ouverture du RSA au moins de 25 ans, filet de sécurité indispensable afin qu’aucun jeune ne tombe dans la précarité.
Le livret jeunesse de La France insoumise.
Bernie Sanders, candidat à la primaire démocrate pour 2020, propose d’annuler purement et simplement 1 600 milliards de dollars de dettes étudiantes. Une proposition qui va plus loin que celle d’Elizabeth Warren et qui est très critiquée par les démocrates modérés, mais qui répond à une vraie urgence.
Les étudiants doivent le plus souvent contracter des prêts à long terme afin de payer les frais de scolarité et leurs dépenses lors de leurs années universitaires. Actuellement, cette dette s’élève à 1 500 milliards de dollars. Mais elle ne concerne pas que les nouveaux entrants sur le marché du travail. La chaîne CBS a eu accès à des documents officiels qui montrent que 3 millions de personnes de plus de 60 ans remboursent actuellement des prêts universitaires, pour une valeur totale de 86 milliards de dollars.
Dans ces pays, le même constat : il faudrait une vie entière pour rembourser les coûts de l’université. Le prêt moyen est d’environ 30 000 dollars, qui peut monter à 80 000 ou 100 000 dollars... Avec des intérêts atteignant les 13%. Sur les 43 millions de personnes ayant contracté de telles dettes, 10% sont en défaut de paiement aux Etats-Unis contre 6,3% en 2004. Des signaux inquiétants, qui plombent les classes moyennes et ouvrières.
En Suisse, nous n’en sommes pas encore à ces niveaux. Selon l’Office fédéral de la statistique, 13% des étudiants s’endettent pour leurs études.

Recession films often took place in the gleaming offices of hedge funds and investment banks, with attractive celebrities offering sympathetic portrayals of economists and bankers – Zachary Quinto, in 2011’s Margin Call, for instance, plays a rocket scientist turned risk analyst with a heart of gold, a do-gooder who discovers that his employer has leveraged itself to the edge of bankruptcy. These films often depicted figures who experienced little to no repercussions for their roles in leading the country into a recession, who abused the misfortune of people like my parents – unmentionables who owed more on their houses than what they had paid for them and, of course, rarely featured in the story at all.
My father described himself and my mother to Crowley as “the poster children for this entire financial event”, by which he meant Americans who seemed to have done everything right on paper, but in doing so contributed to their own downfall. By the time he wrote to Crowley, my father was working again, but it had taken him two years to find another job, which paid him much less money. After his run of financial calamity, he knew better than to believe anything good would last. “We are in our 60s and I figure when we get to our mid-70s life will become difficult again,” he wrote.is – g – of a future in which I might have , or even simply own something – but it was als, or that would reject

Sous l’effet de la compétition internationale, les universités se transforment en de gigantesques entreprises. Une enquête aussi éclairante qu’inquiétante sur un phénomène émergent en Europe.
Compétitivité, marketing ou retour sur investissement sont des termes qui circulent désormais dans les couloirs feutrés des grandes universités. De Shanghai à New York en passant par Paris et Berlin, la transmission des connaissances devient une marchandise, dans le sillage de « l’économie du savoir », une doctrine érigée à la fin des années 1990 par les instances financières internationales – OCDE et Banque mondiale en tête. L’enseignement supérieur, reconnu comme un moteur de productivité et de croissance économique, doit se mettre au service du développement des pays. Victimes de ce nouveau système, les étudiants sont contraints d’investir pour apprendre. Ils s’acquittent de frais d’inscription de plus en plus élevés, et s’appauvrissent avant même d’entrer dans la vie active. Aux États-Unis, la dette étudiante a dépassé le coût du logement et de la santé, menaçant l’économie nationale. Les jeunes Européens suivront-ils la même voie ? Si certains pays d’Europe du Nord résistent à cette commercialisation du savoir, considérant l’éducation comme un acquis social, d’autres s’inspirent de plus en plus du modèle anglo-saxon. En France, les établissements les plus prestigieux, comme Sciences-Po et Paris-Dauphine, se sont déjà engagés sur le chemin du payant.
Étayé par des chiffres effarants, ce documentaire fouillé dresse un état des lieux de la mutation des universités du monde entier. Des États-Unis jusqu’à la Chine, nouvel eldorado de l’enseignement supérieur mondial, le réalisateur pointe les dérives de la marchandisation du savoir en partant à la rencontre d’étudiants étouffés par leurs crédits et terrifiés par l’avenir.
Frais d’inscription élevés, taux d’intérêts démentiels… Des millions d’Américains sont plombés toute leur vie par le coût de leurs études.
[…] Mais une chose est sûre : comme des dizaines de millions d’Américains, cette designeuse numérique aura payé au prix fort son passage à l’université. […] Au rythme actuel, Kristine aura 70 ans lorsqu’elle réglera sa dernière mensualité. Son prêt étudiant de 85 000 dollars lui aura coûté près de 310 000 dollars. |

Most of todays Sunday morning shows all had something about Barack Obama and his potential run for president in 2008.
I've seen him on C-span campaigning all over the country the last few weeks.
He's been either on the cover or significantly featured in at least 4 major news magazines within the past 3 months.
White folks seem geniunely in love with the man...crats and publicans alike.
What is everyone's take on Barack Obama?
kemetkind, Oct 22, 2006
MEDIA HYPE!
KWABENA, Oct 23, 2006
I will certainly leave the question (or leave those questions) to the Politicians and constituencies who orchestrate it.
Brother Kemetkind ... i think it's what Mr. Neely Fuller, Jr. calls ...
RACIAL SHOWCASING
That means, taking huge numbers of black people and putting them out front. It's going to be more of this, all over the planet. Many millions of Black people that you will see, who will be rolling in money. They will be able to showcase the places where they live. They will be able to showcase their knowledge, and expertise. See, you have television now; you have all of the mediums for doing this, for showcasing huge numbers of Black people. I will say it will eventually run into the millions, so many that you won't be able to count them. Now what is this for? This is for any Black person that starts talking about racism in the future, is going to be laughed at, because they are gonna be able to showcase so many Black people who are what you call "successful" that it will seem that racism has been put out of business. But white supremacy is a world business, and like any other business, it works on profits and losses, which means percentages. You go into business; you expect a certain amount of loss. If you're in the grocery business, well you might have a load of asparagus that is spoiled, but overall, you will make more profits than you have losses, if you're going to stay in the business. Now, so the white supremacist knows that the cost of doing the business of white supremacy is going up. They can no longer get away with Joe Louis and Lena Horne, like they did years ago. They have to have many, many, many more Black people who are going to be "showcased." I made up this term, just to explain it; you have to make up terms because they won't make them up for you. So, now that's the first phase, or one of the first elements, in the maximum confusion. And so that Black people won't be able to say, they'll say ... well, you know, there must be something wrong with me, that I’m down and out and don't have a biscuit to eat, because there are so many millions of Black people, who have so much, so it can't be race. But see, for the four or five million Black people who will be showcased, there will be hundreds of millions, worldwide, who won't have a biscuit. That's the way the business operates in the future, and will be, that's the way it seems to be going according to what ... the evidence ... according to the logic.

He have what it takes but the hype is bigger then the picture we see
they want him as a token man another showcase the really question is:
$$RICH$$, Oct 23, 2006
Not that I really want to start up a discussion on this matter (not worth the time), but if he is doing so well as Senator of Illinois, Why is Chicago's Black Community facing little to no change?
These are good questions Bro. Kemetkind, particularly if one has a keen interest in politics, which I tend not to have. I'll be honest, I can't seem to trust or believe in anyone who is involved in politics these days. Someone may have honorable and admirable intentions at the onset of a political career, but I honestly believe that, most if not all, eventually are corrupted.
Obama....he's charismatic. He has that style of a Black preacher that many Black people gravitate toward and liberal whites do as well. He's not bad looking; he's youthful and vibrant, which I think draws people to him. He's married with a young family which seems to sell healthy family values these days. He's a dynamic speaker who seems well versed on a broad number of topics. I'd like to see the popularity polls to see who among white people seem to be intrigued and supportive of him. Is it more white women than white men? If white men like him, maybe they don't see him as a threat to the status quo and think if he's in office, it will be "business as usual". If white women like him, well....maybe their reasons are different than those of white men--who knows? Because it's politics, I'm always suspect about almost everything.
As for the Dems, I thought they were pushing Hillary's campaign for 2008, getting her ready for a challenge from Condi. I know that Condi has denied running for the position in 2008, but what politician can you trust to tell the truth about that, especially this early?
Are "we" ready for a Black president? I guess that would depend on who that Black person is and which party that person ran in. I also think it would depend on if any of us cared about the color of the person as opposed to what that person stood for. I do believe that this country has come far since Shirley Chisholm ran in the 70s. I don't think there has been a serious Black contender since her. Today, I could see America having a president with a Black face, but not necessarily representing the views of most Black people. To expect much change in favor of Blacks from a Black president would be politically naive in my view. I just don't know of anyone out there as radical as that. I could be wrong, but that's the way I see it at the moment.

This is why it is so important for us to countinue to communicate and also most importantly really truly try to support each other on all levels. The racial showcasing is exactly what it is. The major problem with this is that because of many of our people desire to be accepted so bad that many do not care about the big pucture. They know that we are an emotional people because this brother has dark skin it is not going to make anything better. It is the trenches (the neighboorhoods) that we need to take care of. I am not saying that we should not vote what i am saying is that once we take care of that business that we need to take care of where we live. This is the real battle. They are always trying to find ways to keep us off balance and we fall for it every time. Lord help us!
great post kemetkind thanks for bringing it up.

en | N/A | N/A | An interesting development! They just closed (3/20) for participation this year. It would be great if at the end of the season they do a rundown on projects run. I wish them luck with their endeavor!
Sorry, I didn't realise they had closed. I joined a week ago and just got an email update yesterday where they were saying they had an overwhelming response of over 300 people from around the world, mostly offering space to grow and select stuff.
If you have a project they can help with I am sure they will still be interested as that is what they said in their email.
I will be keeping an eye on this. Don't have near enough space for the things I want to do.
I signed up for this. Wish I had thought to post about this to share with the forum.
On one hand, this is EXACTLY the sort of thing I need in order to pull off my projects since it is obvious by now that any plans I have of "develop it myself" then hand samples off to others for seed increase" is not actually going to work. I don't have the space to make more than ONE tiny sample of seed of ANYTHING, and, as long as I live where I do, I never will. I am aware that there are many here who would be only too happy to help me, but most people here have their own projects and goalseed I hand out will be dealt with as they see fit, not me. So any plans I might have had sort of have to be left behind on any seed I give And there is a certain implicit pressure as it stands for me to drop any plans I might have for any seed I retain myself in order to further their projects (i.e. I give someone 10 kernels of a corn that has an interesting trait (since that is what I have to spare) with the suggestion he or she keep it isolated the first few years to increase the seed and "clean it up" (little seed I have can be guaranteed to be pure, nor do I have the resources to make it so). Not so much here, but on some other forums I've been too before, I have had people who ignored the suggestion and tossed my ten seeds into a running population of several hundred to be planted, and then, when the trait got lost, decided the fault was mine for not providing a much bigger initial sample and that they are "owed" that bigger sample they want (whether I can afford to spare that much or no) Since it sounds like this system would allow people to not only send seed but a breeding plan and the system will (at least at this point) match me to a grower who is willing to accept the plan. Sounds right up my alley.
Oh well, if it is closed for the year, at least I have many more months to mull over which side to go for (and maybe get the little voice in my head to get a little less extreme).
It does look like a great initiative. My reluctance to join is that my projects are relatively trivial, when compared with the aims of their project. My entertainments are not doing much for agriculture in the new greenhouse world. I don't want to use up their grower resources on my wacky projects.
One observation blueadzuki, is that there are never enough resources. You almost have to share the load - to enable selection of some things requires growouts of such numbers that they then become impossible to assess because it takes too much time. However, I agree, running a pet project with others is a bit daunting - I only tried it once, and have paused it for the moment, but may well resume it again next spring. The geographic spread of my co-researchers was so wide, that it became impossible to coordinate various generations.
I'm currently sharing a project with one other grower - much easier.
As it stands, they have more growers than projects to allocate to them, so now is a great time to stop selling yourselves short.
I get sharing the load. My issue is just I don't want to end up where the portion of the "load" I wind up being left with is the grunt work and the bankrolling, while all of the potential "profits" (be it financial or just seeing the end result be what you wanted it to be) go entirely to others. There is a fine line between being a good team player and being a slave, between giving others their due and letting them walk all over you.
If I do it, I'd probably do it with the rice beans. There, I know the clear goal (to get a strain with a short enough season it can be grown in the North and still get a good harvest) and (assuming that the supply holds out long enough that some more "right" bags of seed still come to me in the future, enough leftovers to allow me to hand out seed on the level needed (rice beans are really sort of a field crop) and still have enough left to play around a little myself.
I've been thinking about how I could design an experiment that would be of benefit to me? Do I really want seed going out into other gardens and then coming back to me? I've quarantined my garden against importing onions and garlic. I can't trust people to send me sweet pepper seeds that are not contaminated by hot peppers, so in practice I have a pepper quarantine, even if I don't use those words for it. I don't think I would trust pepo squash seed, or muskmelon, or cucumber seed coming back to me because of the possibility of bitter genes.
So without seeds coming back how could I use the network... I suppose that I could ask people to do screenings via sibling groups. For example send out two sibling groups of moschata squash to a damp climate, and ask that one hill of each be planted and that the sibling groups be scored for susceptibility to mildew.
There seems to be so many possibilities for mix-ups and plain old mal-intent. I currently trust a few people to return seeds of my highly developed landrace varieties, but mostly incoming seeds get planted in separate quarantined fields. I don't think I could trust people to not return GMO and CMS contaminated seed.
Each year there is fallow space in my fields, so I have all the room in the world for screening purposes. I might not have all the time/attention to do screenings properly, but I don't lack for space.
The Network says that I'd be responsible for postage on any seeds that I send out... That's a tremendous burden to me. I have a stack of letters and requests for seeds sitting beside me on the desk tonight. It eats away at me that months on end go by without me being able to afford the postage. I sooth myself by saying that people that expect gifts can't put demands on how soon the gift arrives. And thank-you notes that I write will be welcomed as well next month as they would have been last month. Nevertheless, it bothers me. It's hard to get excited about volunteering to increase that burden.
The people who's feedback I value most live in my valley. They share my altitude, climate, bugs, soil, society, water, etc... I deal with them face to face.
I've sent a tremendous amount of possibly red-podded pea seed out into the world without strings attached. Perhaps someone will develop a red-podded snap pea from the seed before I do. I'd be glad of it. But I still can't risk a hot gene showing up in the sweet peppers.
How do y'all envision an Experimental Farm Network operating?
Sounds like to me it might have to be mostly local. No way to establish or have confidence in any controls without actually knowing and being able to visit your partners. I haven't had much luck with that but still working on it.
I am curious to know what they are thinking and doing about vertical farming, agroponics, organoponics and other latest trends in farming and agriculture.
There's definitely room to breed varieties better suited to those growing systems, though I haven't heard about any such work directly.
I am more curious to know whether crops can be grown in vertical mode or not. |

I am someone more concerned about the rights of innocent children, than worrying about whether I upset parents by calling what they do – abuse.

en | N/A | N/A | stood for Love U Sumners.
She had killed all those women because they had spurned her advances. She wrote of how she’d selected them because of their resemblance to the Agent and she’d approached them all seeking what she couldn’t have with the woman whose house she cleaned twice a week.
Morgan reread the passage concerning the woman Kathryn discovered in her lab.
I’m done with the chores and I sit at her desk, staring at the picture of her with that woman. Thy’re smiling, unaware of the photographer. I wish it were me she was holding like that, me she was smiling down on, me she looked like she wanted to kiss. For three years I’ve cleaned this house, for three years I’ve longed to be the one to share her bed.
The woman in the picture is gone now; I don’t know why she keeps it here. She should throw the picture away and notice me. I don’t know what else I can do to get her attention. I’ve left flowers for her; I’ve bought her new towels, made homemade bread for her. Bought her expensive bottles of wine. I’ve always made sure her clothes were pressed, even though she never asked me to. She never notices all the little things I do for her that lovers do.
Tonight I sat at The Swamp; Morgan came here a lot when the woman left her. I followed her here on several occasions but she never noticed me. She sat at the bar with that gay friend of her, the one that hosts the benefits every year. They would talk and drink beer and then she would go home alone. If only she would have asked me to go with her. Never, she never asked. Tonight I sit here alone again. She has someone else now, a little blond thing. I saw her having dinner with Morgan last night. I followed them through the grocery store later, then back to Morgan’s. I saw her park the truck in the garage and then I went home alone.
A woman walked into the bar and from a distance she could be Morgan! My heart soared as I saw her take a seat at the bar. I watched for an hour as she drank a few beers and looked around. She was alone, like me. I walked over and asked if I could buy her a drink. She nodded and I took the empty stool beside her. She shook my hand and introduced herself as Meredith Stanley. I thought to myself that it was perfect. She had the same initials as Morgan and the fates must be smiling down on me. We talked for a while and watched the football game on the television behind the bar. I could tell she was ready to leave and I walked outside with her.
When we got to my car have a few more drinks. She looked disgusted with me. She said she thought I was straight and that she wasn’t interested in queers. I asked her what she was dong in a gay bar and she said she hadn’t realized it was until she was inside. She was new to the island, only there for a summer job and had wanted a beer, nothing more. She turned and walked away from me and it was like something inside me snapped. I was so full of rage and hurt. How dare she dismiss me like that. How dare she look so much like my Morgan and walk away from me. I had to have her!
I followed her from the bar, staying a fair distance behind her. She parked at the Bayside Motel and I waited until she was almost to the door before getting out of my car. I had a plan! Morgan hadn’t answered the notes I’d left for her, she’d been too wrapped up in the case she was working on, too busy tracking a serial killer to worry about answering me. Well, I’d show her, I’d give her something to work on a little closer to home. I pulled the blond wig out of the glove compartment, I didn’t remember why I bought it, but I was glad now to have it there. I hefted a rock from the flowerbeds beside the drive of the motel and as Meredith slid her key into the knob I struck her with all the rage I had inside me.
She slumped to the ground and I drug her back behind the bushes lining the front and side of the shabby motel. I hurried through the darkness to my car and pulled up alongside her body. She was much bigger than I thought and it took me a few minutes longer than I planned to get her into the trunk. Finally she was settled against the spare tire and I slammed the lid and drove away.
I could hear her back there as I drove to Morgan’s house. Hear her pitiful pleas for help. Hear her begging for her life. She knew. She knew I was going to kill her. I drove the car past Morgan’s and doubled back on foot. The house was dark and silent. I keyed in the number for the alarm and used my key to open the patio door. Quietly I opened the door to the garage. I spotted the roll of plastic Morgan kept for painting and carried it into the house. I left as quietly as I came and I knew Morgan hadn’t awakened.
I walked back through the woods to the car. Meredith was still pleading for her life and I knew I was going to have to subdue her again. I’d kept the rock from the motel and had it in my hand as I opened the trunk. She lunged for me, but I was quicker. I slammed the trunk down on her head and she fell forward onto the ground. Quickly I smashed the rock down on her again and again until she was limp. I unrolled the plastic and laid her on top of it. It was a long walk back to the lab and dragging the dead weight behind me made the journey seem longer.
I used the jack handle from my car to pry open the door to the lab after I cut the wires for the alarm. Morgan hadn’t given me the code, saying the lab wasn’t part of my job and she didn’t want me in there. Well tonight the lab was going to be open to me!
Kathryn waited on the porch until the Teal F150 came to a stop in the driveway. Grinning as she recognized Tracey’s new truck, she vaulted off the deck and into her best friend’s waiting arms.
“I’m so glad to see you,” Kathryn beamed, hugging the doctor a second time. “I’m hearing all these rumors.”
Tracey laughed. “Do I want to know?”
“Well,” Kathryn remarked, “You said you were going home to turn things over to your partners so you could spend a little more time out here with me, but I hear that it’s more of a permanent arrangement now.” She grinned.
Tracey put her arm around her friend and they walked up the stairs and into Morgan’s kitchen.
“Tell you what, for something cold to drink I might be enticed to spill the beans.”
Kathryn pulled open the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of spring water. Tracey accepted it gratefully and climbed up on one of the barstools.
“Thanks babe.” She squeezed Kathryn’s hand. “First things first, I haven’t seen you in a month and I want to know how you’re doing.”
I’m doing great,” Kathryn answered. “I’ll fill you in, I promise, but we had a deal.” She motioned towards the bottle of water and Tracey laughed.
“Okay, okay, I give.” She took a long drink before continuing. “Well, as you know, I came out here to visit you on my vacation but my time was just about up when you ended up in the hospital and I figured that if I flew home and got someone to cover for me, I could stay for another couple of weeks, keep an eye on your recovery.” Tracey finished her drink and toyed absently with the plastic cap.
“I certainly didn’t expect to be performing brain surgery on my best friend and falling in love was not even on my list of possibilities, but…” She smiled. “I’ve spent a lot of my life planning for the future, I’ve never been much of a spontaneous person, but these last few weeks here made me re-evaluate my priorities somewhat.” Tracey looked over at her best friend. “I almost lost you, and I don’t know what I would have done if that bullet had been even a few centimeters closer…” She trailed off, and Kathryn put her hand on the doctor’s shoulder. Tracey took a deep breath.
“I realized that life is short and that sometimes, there are things you know are right, things you might not have planned, but they come into your life and you know that you might be missing something wonderful if you don’t give |

NEW YORK, August 25, 2016
M 19-22.
“There is nothing more critical to our future and security than access to energy. It’s the most important issue of our time and impacts all nations and all peoples,” said Dr Harold HyunSuk Oh, chairman of the World Energy Forum.
“As the best recognised and most respected platform for energy collaboration, the World Energy Forum offers global leaders in government, industry and academia the ability to share ideas, find solutions and take action on this important issue effecting humanity.”
Historically held every four years, the forum follows the very successful World Energy Forum 2012 in Dubai.
In response to urgent world energy issues and calls from many heads of state and energy ministers, the World Energy Forum will now convene annually, rotating national host cities each year. The US was selected following encouragement from the US government and the UN, said a statement.
The forum’s workshops and sessions were developed by energy experts and includes leading organisations, executives, academics, media, and government officials.
Session topics focus on oil, coal, natural gas, solar, wind, biofuels, nuclear energy, commercial and infrastructural development, water, finance, security, efficiency, transportation, corporate sustainability, electricity markets, and energy transit’s role in providing universal energy access to all. Special sessions will focus on energy crises impacting indigenous peoples and landlocked nations as well as increasing women’s engagement in sustainable energy.
An exhibition featuring about 150 companies will also be held as part of the forum. - TradeArabia News Service

With this understanding, I would like to bring to the forefront another idea of privilege. While we have the privilege to be in medical school and so many of us have had the blessing of a privileged upbringing, our truest privilege is to be trusted. Due to our standing and education, we are trusted by patients with the most intimate details of their lives often in the darkest moments of their existence. To borrow from a mentor, “they are not privileged to see us, it is our privilege to see them.” Our patients do not owe us honesty, cooperation, or pleasantries. It is certainly nice to be thanked and appreciated, but ultimatelyaccording to our training. Our greatest privilege is to be trusted to care for them. And with that privilege comes an even greater responsibility to consider the humanity of every patient. We cannot abandon our privilege to care when patients are unable to help themselves. We cannot abandon our role as physicians. After the many challenging patients we had today from complex backgrounds, I was reminded that the most challenging patients are often the patients in need of the most help. To recall the words of Jesus as he spokee patients who are the most physically sick are sometimes the people who need the deepest care. It is easy to get caught up in all of the medicine and science and forget that we are dealing with human beings.
While I offer no specific fixes to the injustices that ail our society, I hope that in these words I can offer a change in perspective that may just push the conversation in the right direction. To my classmates and my fellow medical students, I implore you to not be owned by your privilege. We must refuse to allow our training, level of education, and socioeconomic status determine the way that we look at the people we interact with on a daily basis. To the healthcare profession, I say we must be better, we must consider what a privilege it is to be trusted and To my country, I plead with you to not allow your beliefs to cloud |

We compared covariates adjustment, propensity score adjustment, matching, Inverse-Probability-of-Treatment Weighting, and more complex approaches that combine ensemble of machine learning algorithms with double robust semiparametric maximum likelihood estimation like the targeted maximum likelihood estimator (TMLE) in terms of bias, standard error and coverage probability. Two scenarios were simulated: (i) with complete data set; (ii) with 20% missingness mechanism on the outcome. Model misspecification and near-positivity violations were addressed. Finally, comparisons were applied to the Italian multicenter retrospective study DApagliflozin Real Word evidence in Type 2 Diabetes (DARWIN-T2D).

On this day in 1536, King Henry VIII ordered that Bibles translated into English be placed in every church, a request fulfilled when the Great Bible was made available. On May 6, 1757, the English poet Christopher Smart, deemed insane, was placed into the St. Luke’s hospital for Lunatics in London, where he stayed six years. While confined, he wrote the best cat poem of all time, a fragment of his larger Jubilate Agno called “For I will consider my cat Jeoffrey.” You can (and should) read it here. There is no poem that embodies the catness of cats more than this one.

One can go look at all the stats on Babe Ruth but his pitching and hitting records easily makes him the best ever. Essentially all of his pitching was done in the first third of his career in baseball while playing in Boston. His win / loss was 94/46 with a .671 percentage. He pitched 29 1/3 scoreless innings in the 1918 world series. No need to go over what he did when just hitting for the Yankees.

Crepe Suzette is covered with a buttery sauce called beurre Suzette (“butter Suzette”). There is a commune by that name in Southern France, so I suspect it is named after the place, not a person.
Consistently, Steinbeck inverts traditional Christian symbolism turning it inside out and upside down so that all the Biblical imagery is used in decidedly unorthodox ways.
In fact there was a person called Suzette among the entourage of the Prince of Wales. At Monte Carlo’s Café de Paris the chef Henri Charpentier served the prince’s party the first ever “Crepes Suzette” in 1895

en | N/A | N/A | Wildfires Blaze Through Arizona Forests
Firefighters in Eastern Arizona have started to make progress in battling the wildfires that have ripped unchecked through thousands of acres of forests over the past two weeks.
Nearly 10,000 residents have fled the fires which have destroyed at least 29 homes and 35 other buildings in the area. Peter O'Dowd of member station KJZZ joins us. Thanks very much for being with us, Peter.
PETER O'DOWD: Thanks for having me.
ODOWD: Today its at six percent contained. So firefighters are optimistic but they say their hold on that six percent is really pretty tenuous, because winds are going to start picking up again. And so, 40 mile per hour wind gusts, firefighters will be facing that today and they really aren't exactly sure what's going to happen when those red flag conditions come back.
SIMON: Six percent still seems very, very low. Are they optimistic because the trend is just in the right direction?
O'DOWD: Well, they are optimistic because they were able to get any containment whatsoever. This fire has been burning since the 29th of May, and for a long time there was zero containment. I mean the fire is more than 600 square miles right now. So in their point of view, even six percent is a really huge deal because it shows that, you know, this fire can be defeated.
One person I spoke to recently said, you know, basically this weekend we want to keep putting numbers on our side of the score board. Were on the board now with six percent. He said we want to keep holding that line and get that containment into the double digits.
SIMON: And Peter, with the fire of the magnitude that you described, do the firefighters have enough equipment? Do they have enough people?
O'DOWD: Oh, will tell you, the firefighters, there are about 3,000 of them out there right now and they're using helicopters, they're using jets, they're using all manner of equipment to start the fires on the perimeter of this huge blaze in order to contain it. They say they have the equipment that they need but their hours are incredibly long. They're working 12 hour shifts. They start their day at 6 AM. They eat 6,000 calories a day to fuel them through and, you know, they work for 14 days at a time before some of them will see a day off.
SIMON: Peter, what can you tell us about people who had to be evacuated? Are they in a position to go back into their homes? How have they been faring?
O'DOWD: Not quite yet. They're not quite allowed to go home. There was some talk that hopefully this weekend some people would be allowed back into the towns. But right now the fire crews say, you know, if we let them back in and the winds pick up today or this weekend and they have to be evacuated again, then it's really disheartening and it also could be dangerous. So until these winds settle down we expect the people to stay into those evacuation centers or wherever they happen to be evacuated. They're pretty pragmatic about it. You know, they understand that firefighters are working as hard as they can. They're also pretty anxious to see what their property looks like.
SIMON: Peter O'Dowd of KJZZ, reporting on the Eastern Arizona fires.
O'DOWD: Thank you. |

en | N/A | N/A | T vessel is one of the most important commercial questions that the ship buyer and shipyard face when they enter into a shipbuilding contract. Normally the financing of a vessel is divided between the yard and the buyer. How this is shared depends on a number of circumstances, such as:
the market situation
the parties' evaluation and appetite for risk
the financing capabilities of each of the parties
The parties must plan for the possibility that the other party may be unable to perform its obligations. The shipyard must ensure that the buyer is able to meet its payment obligations, be that during construction or on delivery. In order to gain such certainty, the yard may request a guarantee from a bank or more commonly the buyer's parent company, for the performance of the buyer's payment obligations. The yard may also be sufficiently content if it is provided with a binding commitment from the buyer's lenders. However, even where the yard has not obtained such a security, in any event it will have the hull produced and the materials purchased and could then decide to sell these on to another buyer or use them for other projects.
The buyer is in a different position. Any pre-payments made by the buyer must be individually secured in order to have a reasonable expectation of recovering them in case of the shipyard's default or bankruptcy. If this is not the case, the buyeryard and may end up on a long line of unsecured creditors.
Delivery on completion and refund guarantees
An alternative solution is where the parties agree that the title to the vessel under construction and the parts and materials purchased are transferred to the buyer during construction. If properly implemented, this system means that the hull and relevant materials are out of reach of the bankruptcy estate and the shipyard's other creditors in case of bankruptcy. The buyer therefore controls the hull and may finish the construction or sell the hull to other parties. Costs involved with refund guarantees may be taken out of the construction budget and contract price and there is no need to lock in capital to secure the refund guarantees.
First and foremost, the rights of the buyer need to be sufficiently secured. The buyer's ownership may need to be registered. Further, such registration may not cover all materials belonging to the vessel and the buyer may need to obtain a floating charge or pledge over the yard's machinery and plant to ensure that materials and parts belong to him or her. Materials may have been partly paid for but not delivered to the yard and the buyer may therefore also need a right to step into the yard's subcontracts. Rights and access to other materials (eg, drawings) should also be ensured.
The buyer and shipyard must also constantly and thoroughly monitor and value the progress of the project to ensure that there is a balance between the level of pre-payment made and the value of the parts produced and owned by the buyer, which may be difficult in practice. Planning, engineering and purchases at the beginning of the project are not normally linked to a corresponding part that has been constructed.
Delivery on completion coupled with refund guarantees is regarded to be the default solution in most standard shipbuilding contracts as it is a simple, widely understood and fairly balanced solution. However, there may be reasons to deviate and elect for progressive title transfer where this can be tailor-made to suit the demands of a particular project.

en | N/A | N/A | I agree wholeheartedly. And to think, it was free!
I know I paid something for it. Like $6 or something. It's just funny, there was no way I was going to challenge my belief in the supremacy of OK Computer in 2007. Maybe now that I'm older I get the album in a way I didn't then. I liked it, but I didn't get the feels from it that I do now.
I've been listening to In Rainbows by Radiohead a lot lately. I think I've finally come to terms that it's their best album. Almost perfection.
In Rainbows is fantastic. I don't think I appreciated it even 1/5 the morning I downloaded it (definitely remember I paid 10 bucks for it even though I definitely didn't have money to throw around) as much as I do now. And of course I've spent $ on that album over and over and over since then on vinyls, Radiohead shows, etc.

I ended up paying 10 for it, but only afterwards take it was 10 pounds, not dollars.
I deleted them both and things got much better in the world.
And now Donald Trump is president. Coincidence? Great job.
I really liked that animal collective album. Still listen to it occasionally.

With the extra time on my hands, I have been catching up on a lot of what I've missed over the past decade. Kendrick Lamar is amazing. To Pimp a Butterfly and good kid, M.A.A.D city are classic hip-hop albums. Also, listening to the Dissect podcast season on Kendrick Lamar was really interesting.
To Pimp a Butterfly is easily the better album. The thing about both is that they are great as albums, not just a collection of songs. Kendrick is great at telling a narrative arc in both of these albums. I even think some of the songs that seem more mediocre at first listen, end up being some of the better songs when viewed in the context of the albums narrative.
I'm listening to a Cheap Trick greatest hits compilation.
These guys made it, but they should have been even more popular than they were.

en | N/A | N/A | Learn to become a pro when it comes to cooking meat by checking out these cooking tips and tricks along with food safety guidelines from The Ranch.
Cooking Tips and Tricks - Table of Contents
When cooking beef, cooking times and temperatures may vary based on the your method of preparation, the size of the cut and your desired degree of doneness.
Always test for doneness using a digital meat thermometer.
125°F Rare – cool red center
135°F Medium Rare – warm red center
145°F Medium – warm pink center
150°F Medium Well – slightly pink center
160°F Well Done – little or no pink
When roasting, remove from heat when thermometer registers 5 to 10°F lower than your desired doneness. Then let your roast rest. the temperature will continue to rise while resting.
When grilling, braising or broiling steaks and burgers remove them from heat when thermometer registers 5°F lower than desired degree of doneness. Rest your steaks while the temperature continues to rise.
The USDA recommends steaks and roasts be cooked to 145°F (medium) and then rested for at least 3 minutes. To ensure food safety, ground beef should be cooked to a minimum of 160°F (well done). Be sure to check with a digital meat thermometer, as color alone is not a foolproof indicator.
Grilling is a fast and easy way to cook beef. By applying high heat directly to the surface of the beef it sears the outside, thus creating a browned, flavorful crust.
From searing on a hot grill to resting and flipping, learn how to become a grilling pro with these 7 Easy Tips to become a Steak Grill Master.
Learn to Make Diamond Grill Marks
Preheat your grill until very hot (about 500-550°F)
Once the meat has seared and juices begin to rise to the top, turn steaks clockwise, with the ends at 2 and 8 o’clock.
After 1 to 2 minutes, flip steaks over and cook until they reach your desired degree of doneness. Use a digital meat thermometer to ensure food safety.
Remove steaks from grill and allow to rest on a clean plate for approximately 5 minutes.
Pan searing is an excellent alternative to grilling steak. High heat creates a seared crust that seals in juices and cooks from the outside in. It is an ideal cooking method for thin-sliced steak or other thin cuts of beef. Pan searing should be done in a heavy-bottomed pan, such as cast iron, over medium to high heat.
To pan sear/sauté a steak, follow these guidelines:
Preheat a large pan over medium-high heat.
Season steak with salt and pepper, or your desired seasoning.
Next, add a small amount of oil to the pan and heat. When the oil shimmers, use tongs to gently place steaks in the pan (make sure to leave some room between steaks).
Once juices begin to rise to the surface of the meat, about 2-3 minutes, flips steaks with tongs. Cook steaks for another couple minutes and then check doneness with an instant-read thermometer. When steaks have reached your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare), remove from the pan and allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Watch this video for Step-By-Step Instructions on how to sauté beef.
Pan roasting is a great method for thicker steaks (such as the ribeye and porterhouse) as well as roasts. In contrast to pan searing, this method involves searing the beef in a pan on a stove, then putting it into the oven to gently cook the steak throughout.
To pan roast steaks, follow these guidelines:
Next, preheat an oven-proof pan on high heat and add a thing layer of oil. Heat until oil begins to shimmer.
Gently add steaks to the pan without overcrowding. Sear for about 2 minutes, then flip steaks with tongs and sear the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
Place pan in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until steaks reach your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
Remove pan from oven and let steaks rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

According to the USDA, the safe internal cooking temperature for pork is 145°F
Smoking is a great cooking method for pork chops, pork tenderloin and other large cuts such as pork shoulder, pork loin, fresh ham, and ribs.
There are 3 methods of smoking meat; cold smoking, smoke roasting, or hot smoking. Hot smoking is the most common and exposes the meat to heat as well as smoke, cooking it and giving it a great flavor at the same time.
Follow this easy guide to help you smoke pork like a pro.

Before Cooking – bring lamb to room temperature
After Cooking – allow lamb to rest for 3 minutes
Always cut lamb against the grain
Don’t overcook – Use a digital meat thermometer
Medium Rare – 145°F
Well Done – 170°F
Since the internal temperature of cooked meat will rise, pull lamb from heat when it is 10 degrees lower than your desired doneness and let rest for 3 minutes.
Grilling is a great way to quickly cook lamb with minimal cleanup. When grilling lamb, follow these simple tips:
As a general rule, it’s best to keep the lid off your grill for cuts that cook quickly, such as chops, burgers and kabobs. This allows you to easily monitor doneness.
Check doneness using a digital meat thermometer
Remove lamb from the grill when it is 10°F less than your desired internal temperature
When braising, the meat is browned in fat then tightly covered and cooked slowly in a small amount of liquid. By cooking for a long period of time at low heat, the meat develops flavor and becomes more tender. Braising can be done on the stovetop, as well as in the oven or in a slow cooker. A tight fitting lid is key to preventing the liquid from evaporating. Because Lamb should and shank tend to be less tender, they are the best cuts of meat for braising and stewing.
When braising lamb, follow these simple tips:
Be sure to sear the lamb on all sides until browned before adding braising liquid
The proper determination for doneness is tenderness, not temperature
Lamb is done when the meat is fork tender
When oven-roasting lamb, the meat is cooked uncovered in order to produce an exterior that is well browned with a moist and juicy interior. Roasting is best with fairly tender cuts of lamb, such as the rack, loin and leg.
When roasting lamb, follow these simple tips:
For a perfect medium-rare, cook 15 to 20 minutes per pound in a 325°F oven
Remove lamb from the oven when it is 5-10 degrees lower than your desired doneness and rest for 3 minutes.
Keep in mind that bone-in leg roasts cook faster than boneless because the bone acts as an insulator.

A lean cut of meat, Bison tends to cook more quickly than Beef. In general, expect a Bison steak to cook one-third faster than the same beef steak.
Ground bison meat should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160°F and the juices should be clear, not red. Roasts and steaks should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145° F (medium rare) or 160°F (medium).
When roasting bison, the oven should be set at around 275°F. Cooking times should be similar to the time you would cook a comparable cut of beef.

en | N/A | N/A | Ada Blackjack: The Woman Who Survived Against All Odds in a Freezing Arctic Island
BY Dipanjana Mukherjee • March 6, 2020

expedition. This is her story of courage, endurance and survival which lasted over two years.
The Blackjacks: Luck was never on their side
At the young age of sixteen, Ada met her husband Jack Blackjack, a local dog musher. The young couple soon gave birth to three children. But as luck would have it, two out of their three offspring did not survive. The pain of losing their children was unbearable, and it soon affected the once happy couple. This was followed with Jack’s abandonment of Ada and their only living child, five-year-old Bennet on the Seward Peninsula in 1921. A destitute Ada, thus, began her journey. She walked about forty miles back to Nome, Alaska, her hometown, with her young son.
When Bennet would get too tired, she carried him. Soon, Bennet got afflicted with tuberculosis, and Ada could not provide enough resources that would nurse him back to health. It was at that time when she heard about an expedition on its way to Wrangel Island looking for a local seamstress fluent in English. Vowing to earn enough for her son, Ada temporarily left her son in an orphanage and joined the expedition.
Wrangel Island is situated in the Arctic Ocean, about a hundred miles north of the Siberian coast, and over two hundred and fifty miles from Alaska. The Island is literally in the middle of nowhere and is enveloped by unbearable cold. The surrounding water is usually frozen most of the year making passage impossible. The island is desolate and of good proportions, which fell in the eye of a Canadian explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson. He had applied to the Canadian government for possession of the island, but was rejected.
In 1921, he came up with a new plan of claiming the island for Britain. To do that, he planned to send a crew of people to the island to begin preparations. The party included Frederick Maurer, E. Lorne Knight, and Milton Galle. They even considered recruiting an Eskimo family, who would cook and maintain the camp. Although a lot of them were interested, except Ada, nobody showed up. Ada faced a lot of misgivings, which included the fact that she was being accompanied by a party of Alaskan Natives.

On 6th September 1921, the crew set sail with six months of supplies, unaware of the disaster that would ensue. A ten-day journey later, the crew reached Wrangel Island and immediately raised the British flag, claiming the land under King George. Life on the island fell into a routine of hunting, cooking, building furniture, signing each day off with jokes and hymns. They set up meteorological instruments, and all seemed convenient except one aspect- there were not enough animals to hunt and feed on.
The camp at Wrangel Island. (Internet Archive)
The initial plan was that by the upcoming summer a supply ship would replenish their limited supplies. But an icy storm in June froze the ocean around the island, hindering access by ships. Back in Alaska, however, Stefansson could not raise enough money for a relief ship. It was not until August when one, named Teddy Bear, embarked on the journey but was a failure. The men on the island had foresight enough to ration their supplies. They had to relocate because they had used all the surrounding wood, fed on whatever they found, and soon one by one the men began to drop like flies.
The first to succumb to ill health was Knight, whom Blackjack tried to nurse back to health. Meanwhile, on January 29, the others left to find help promising to be back, but they never did. Knight eventually died on June 22nd. ,” reported The World magazine in 1927.
Ada Blackjack: A survivor
It was not until August 1923 when Ada finally saw the light of day. “I must stay alive,” Blackjack recalled later, was the thought which kept her going despite the adversities. She used Knight’s rifle to shoot seals to make shoe soles, read Bible, and walked on the beach to keep going through her day. She was a feeble and shy little woman, terrified of polar bears, but with unimaginable tenacity. In the three months, after the death and disappearance of her companions, she was alone and learnt how to shoot birds, trap white foxes, lookout for polar bears, crafted a skin boat out of driftwood and so much more. She threw herself in the need to survive for her son.

This remarkable story of Ada’s two-year stay in the Arctic is inscribed in time as a book by Jennifer Niven by the name of AThe book documents in detail the struggle the crew underwent on the expedition in Wrangel Island due to a wilful negligent venture organized by Stefansson. As it turns out, the island had been under Russian occupation since 1916, all along the time the crew lived there. It is now a Russian wildlife refuge.

en | N/A | N/A | The first half of tonight’s game felt like an extension of last night’s flop. Then the bats picked up and the pitching stiffened. Somehow, this absurd roster of players pulled it together to beat the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Better yet, with the victory tonight, the Reds have won 10 of their last 18 games.
Michael Lorenzen worked gingerly through the potent Tigers lineup, giving up only one earned run in six innings.one. Lorenzen’s fastball velocity was 93-95. His breaking ball had good movement. He threw it as a first pitch a lot. His change up kept the Tigers off balance. At times, Lorenzen seemed like he didn’t want to challenge the Tigers hitters and consequently pitched from behind.
Back-to-back home runs by Todd Frazier and Jay Bruce in the top of the fifth inning seemed to fire up the Reds. Those were the first runs the team had scored in 18 innings. Frazier’s shot was a blast to left center, his 19th of the year. Bruce’s ball just slipped over the fence by the right field foul pole. It was Bruce’s 10th of the year, he’s on pace for 26. Bruce also singled and walked, scoring a second run.
Frazier then hit his 20theds ahead 3-2. He’s on pace to hit 51 homers. He made a nice defensive play on a bunt in the fifth inning, nailing Jose Iglesias who had dropped down an excellent bunt.
Ryan Mattheus, pitched a clean 7th inning. He’s shut out the opponents in 10 of his last 11 appearances.
James Allen Hoover retired the heart of the Tigers order 1-2-3 in the 8th inning. Hoover hasn’t allowed an earned run in the past 25 appearances, dating back to April 21. The Reds next closer hasn’t allowed home run all year. Aroldis Chapman came in for another nail-biting three-run save
How Dominant is Aroldis Chapman’s Fastball Velocity?
Thanks for taking a good hack at the recap, Steve.
If the Cardinals were in the NBA, would they use the ‘hack a Shaq’ strategy?
They are developing pitchng this season. Between DeSclafani, Lorenzen, Moscot, Iglesias, there are more in AA and A+. Now position players must move up.
What position players ?
Hopefully position players will come with the pending trades of Cueto, Leake, and Chapman.
If I remember correctly Lorenzen wasn’t a high strikeout pitcher in the minors right?
Right, he wasn’t. I looked up his minor league numbers not long ago, so won’t tonight, but it was 6+ Ks per 9 innings, not much.
Still learning to pitch, so maybe that will change. Kiley McDaniel at Fangraphs wrote before the year that Lorenzen is still trying to learn to set up hitters, which would lead to more strikeouts. Not saying it will happen, but with his stuff, we can at least hope he learns to put more people away.
I agree. And when he’s throwing strikes and getting ahead of hitters, he seems in command even when he’s not ringing up the Ks.
K’s or not, the main thing is if Lorenzen can keep runners off the bases.
Well you want Ks because more balls in play mean more chances for the ball to be hit where someone isn’t.
Hoover gives up some hard shots to some very good hitters but he didn’t give up a HR and he didn’t walk anybody. Odds are, if you do that, you’re going to be OK.
I didn’t see the play where DeJesus screwed up in LF, but I MUCH prefer him in the lineup, and in LF, to Schumaker and Boesch.
Agree wholeheartedly. In this injury plagued season with the poorly constructed bench, DeJesus should be in the lineup until big changes occur with this team.
Nice win. That near DP by BP and Negron was a thing of beauty. Go Reds Go.
Yes I was going to comment on that. It really was beautiful, BP’s flip and Suarez’ leap and strong throw to first.
Oops that was Negron’s throw.
OK I only got to see the replay and whoever was announcing said Suarez as well.
I wasn’t able to get the game on mlb.tv, so I listened to Marty and Brantley. They were so ticked off at BHam for getting picked off 2nd that Marty said he was so far off the base that he knew he’d get picked off, as if he was out by 10 feet. They treated the review as an irrelevant bother. They had me all kinds of ticked off at BHam, thinking he’d had another brain fart, like when he fell asleep with his eyes open and was picked off first base by 10 feet in Philly.
So then I watch the video from Tigers tv, and even their broadcasters thought Hamilton was safe and were surprised that the call wasn’t overturned.
The play was close enough for him to get called out not because he was ridiculously far from the base: he was doing his dancing back and forth and Chamberlain caught him making a dance move toward 3rd, with a quick throw.
Not at all smart base running by BHam but Marty & Jeff made it sound worse than it was. I guess this is in the “what else is new” department, but I don’t listen to them that often.
Interestingly, Gose thought he was out. On the slow mo it wasn’t clear whether his foot was over (instead of on) home plate a bit when first sliding into it. Maybe that’s why the replay umps thought the video shots were inconclusive.
The home plate collison rule is confusing, and combined with confusing replay rules, it gets worse. Ausmus was upset in that he thought both that Gose was safe and that Pena had blocked the plate, but could only challenge one of them. Why is that ? If you’re reviewing the play, review the whole thing.
I don’t like the replay reviews at all and I don’t like the “no plate blocking” rule either. It’s completely up to the observer. I don’t like the idea of electronic balls and strikes but I’d be better with it than the judgement calls on replays, especially when it comes to a rule that’s all about the perception of the ruling authority. It looked to me like Pena didn’t block the plate until right before he caught the ball. He also didn’t totally block the plate as there was a sliding lane.
As a former catcher, I LOVE the idea behind the rule. What I don’t like is that the rule has so many areas in it where it is solely in the judgement of the umpire and that umpire may interpret the rule slightly different than the guy reviewing it. They can literally see the same thing and have different opinions on if the rule is violated or not. It either needs to be thoroughly locked down or it needs to be done away with.
Or make the collision rule non-reviewable.
I wondered why it was DeJesus in LF and Negrón at SS since Negrón has at least marginally more experience at LF and has generally acquitted himself OK in the outfield. Perhaps DeJesus was being auditioned for a bench spot when Byrd returns.
Price talked a lot after DeJesus’ first game in LF about how hard he’s worked at learning LF, starting in spring training. So yeh I think Price has DeJesus in mind for a utlility role next year and wants him to put in time in LF.
I much prefer him to the Reds usual utility veteran.
I glad it did not matter, but it seems like just lack of understanding your strengths, why not get DeJesus out of there after he batted in the 8th. Suarez to SS and Negron the LF would have been the easiest. Could not see the game but there 2 balls hit to DeJesus in the 8th not sure if they were that difficult plays.
I like DeJesus better in LF, but that’s based on only 1 full game (did not see last night). He made a couple of plays that required some range. He’ll make mistakes while learning LF but as we know Schu is also prone to those (on easy ground balls !).
I think one of the reasons is that Price wanted the best IF defense behind Lorenzen and Negron is a better defensive SS than DeJesus.
Hurrah, the Reds 2nd win this season in an AL park. In 2014 they only had 1 win in an AL park. Baby steps.
Speaking of Byrd, Price said on the pregame radio that Byrd will start a minor league rehab tomorrow (Wednesday) and barring any setback will be with the Reds by the weekend or on the road next week at the latest. Fay confirmed this item including the timeline during the 2nd inning Beat Reporter Sound Byte (which along with the Price pregame ditty is why I listen to the broadcast) .
The Reds are 6.0 games out of the 2nd wildcard position, at the back of the pack (along with the Fish & Rox) competing with 9 teams for the 2nd wildcard position. A playoff position is certainly possible, but Byrd coming back and winning the triple crown is also possible.
Rushing Byrd back from a broken hand/wrist is absurd and 3 weeks is certainly rushing him back. There’s also his contract situation the Reds jumped into in making the trade for Byrd. If Byrd comes back for the Pirate’s series, there will be 93 games remaining and Byrd would need to average 4 PA over those 93 games to vest his $8MM option for 2016.
If BC really understands the dynamics of managing payroll and budget for the Reds, then allowing Byrd’s $8MM option to vest would not even be a consideration, not to mention making sure that the option vests. If Byrd’s 2016 option vests, he has absolutely no value prior to the trade deadline and negative value for 2016 that will be dumped into the Reds budget.
This season is toast and not just toast, stale toast. Byrd’s value to the team comes from his 2016 contract not vesting and reestablishing value prior to the trade deadline. Byrd should not be reactivated prior to the series with the Brew Crew on 07/03. That allows suffient time for his injury to fully heal and his minor league rehab to be completed without pushing the recovery. Byrd then has the entire month of July to establish any value at the major league level, prior to the trade deadline, without risking his 2016 vesting kicking in automatically.
Mmmm, stale toast is the best toast.
VICFERRARI asked on the game thread: “I know it is all random, but What is Frazier’s stats with runners on 3rd and less than 2 outs?” I promised I’d look it up and post it on the recap.
Todd is 2-13 with 1 sac fly, 5 walks, 6 Ks, 6 RBIs in that situation so far in 2015. The 2 hits are a double and a HR. Actually that makes for a healthy OBP and slugging pct. in those 19 appearences. Also the 6 RBIs is an awful lot for 2 hits.
I started looking into how he’s done that and came across his grand slam HR against the Brewers, which he hit with 2 outs, so it doesn’t count here, but is it worth any less because there were 2 outs ? Some say it hardly even counts unless there are 2 outs.
Also came across a 2 run double against the Padres, with runners on 1st and 2nd, none out. Isn’t that just as good as 2 run double with runners on 1st and 3rd, none out ?
I decided it wasn’t worth digging any further.
So those are the facts and my conclusion is they don’t tell you much.
With a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs you’d like to see fewer Ks, but this is a small sample and if there’s anything to it, Todd will adjust. Tonight in the bases loaded situation he was thrown nothing but sliders, and we’ve seen that before. Pitchers just won’t throw him a hittable fast ball when he can do that much damage (4 runs in this case).
It goes without saying that Todd has blossomed into one of the game’s best power hitters and all around players, that he should be the NL All Star starting 3rd baseman, etc.
Thanks, I have been waiting all night for this…just kidding cannot sleep some nights, I guess one irrationally thinks every batter should be able to get a SF with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs, so only 3 successful AB’s (2 hits and SF out of 19 seems bad) with the 5 walks- but when you look at the OPS it is probably in the .800 range which sounds pretty solid- totally see your point about the value of the other situations.
Yes for getting a run in from 3rd with less than 2 out, the average rate of success is about 50%. The success rate state for players for the season is out there somewhere, one year I followed it on a regular basis for the Reds. Couldn’t find it last night at baseball-reference.com. Someone here would know where to find it.
The year I followed it (2011 I think), Votto had almost a 90% success rate, Ryan Hanigan was at 50%, and everyone else was under, as it seemed.
Is Frazier pressing in those situations ? Possibly, I just found the limited data inconclusive. As I mentioned, they pitch him differently. If I were the hitting coach and thought he was pressing, I’d just tell him, forget about the base runners, just take the same approach as with nobody on.
I agree with those who poo-poo BARISP because it’s talked about way too much and it can be a misleading measure. But every major league pitcher and hitter I’ve ever heard talk about it says that pitching/hitting with a runner in scoring position is a different animal from other situations.
The players saying it is a “different animal” is why they play games for a living and did not get a mathematics degree from MIT.
I’m not defending the obsession with avg w/risp. But you can’t dismiss the player’s thoughts on this. It’s kind of like the placebo effect. If you think it matters, then it does. Look at all the superstitions that baseball players have. Logically, wearing the same socks for a week shouldn’t make you a better hitter. But if you firmly believe that it does, then it could actually make you perform better because of being more confident and relaxed.
It certainly feels different and it’s hard to ignore it. I think MLB players, in general, do well under stress, so I feel it probably matters to them a lot less. The feeling is most certainly different though and I did often change my approach in those sorts of situations. Sometimes it worked out, sometimes it didn’t.
Tstarting NL 3B in the AS game.
Is it just me, or is this team involved in so many challenges? Is there a stat for this? Seems like we have had plenty so far. Aside from that, I think we are making a DL all star team. God speed to everyone’s return! Go Reds!
Reds don’t even lead MLB with most players on DL. Check out Mets, Rangers, and Rays to name a few.
Yeah, I think it was last week with Costas and Smoltz or Katt and they were doing a Mets game and went through all the man-games they had lost to injury. It was pretty brutal.
It seems insane that Frazier is on a 51 HR pace. I doubt anyone believes he’ll reach that, but 40 seems like a really strong possibility if he stays healthy. Wouldn’t that be something? Todd chasing 40 might help make the season a bit of fun in the inevitable sell-of and/or doldrums of being 25+ games out in August.
If the Reds really get serious as sellers prior to the trade deadline (and they certianly should already be serious sellers) and include Frazier, they will net a king’s ransom as a return and some of the return will be major league ready by 2017.
The Reds made a crazy successful gamble by locking in Frazier’s 2016 contract at a reasonable and controllable value, but Frazier’s 3rd year arbitration contract in 2017 will be grossly expensive and there’s no way the Red sshould even consider a FA extention for a 31-year-old power hitter. Frazier’s trade value right now is at a serious peak with nowhere to go but down. I absolutely love Frazier as a baseball player and personality; he is absolutely my favorite player on the team and the only jersy I have ever purchased. Unfortunately, keeping him with the Reds just doesn’t make any sense. The Reds simply have to learn to take advantage of these situations and not saddle future payroll by overpaying for past performance. In addition, if the Reds make Frazier available now, the receiving team is going to extend his contract and Frazier will be able to lock in the really big bucks he deserves.
Think the Mets, and LHP Steven Matz.
Matz would go into the rotation as soon as he arrives. The Reds sorely lack any LH starting pitching.
Maybe the Reds should trade their entire team of veterans and play MiLB prospects the next 2 or 3 years. 100 L seasons would be commonplace.
While I agree with your thoughts I still think Votto to Boston as a future replacement for the free agent to be Napoli and the soon retiring “Popy”. They can afford it and that leftfield wall would have a hole beat in it by Votto.
Enjoy your posts that you.
Between Votto and Frasier the return would be very interesting. We aren’t winning with them so lets get something for them for the future.
Tom Gray, you always say the same thing, over and over. Keep the veterans and don’t trade anybody seems to be your mantra.
Do you not understand that Cueto and Leake will be gone no matter what at the end of the year anyway?
Do you not get that Chapman only has one more year with the Reds before free agency and that the Reds will have to pay him upwards of 10 million for that year to be a closer on a team that isn’t a contender?
And do you not see that the playoff teams of 2010, 2012, and 2013 were built by developing prospects in 2005-2009? Votto, Bruce, Cueto, and Bailey were all prospects that came up around the same time. The next waves brought Mes, Frazier, Cozart, Stubbs, Leake, Wood, Heisey, etc.. All prospects.
The Reds can’t build winners through free agency or extending veteran players to huge contracts. They have to have a good farm system to compete. They aren’t competing right now, and the farm doesn’t have enough talent to build a winner by itself. So, trade the guys who won’t be here for more than a year or two more to get prospects.
But if you’re so down on this, why don’t you provide a solution instead.of.whining any time someone mentions a trade?
What is up with Jay Bruce and his struggles against RH pitching? He should be mashing RHers. I know with Bruce he is walking more, and that is fine, but he needs to be putting the bat on the ball more. With Bruce batting 4th or 5th, walking more doesn’t help much with Negron, Pena, BHam, the pitcher, Schumaker, Boesch and the likes hitting behind him. Batting average isn’t the tell all, but it tells enough. Bruce’s BA on the road is .191, on the road vs. RH it is .152.
The defensive shifts attribute to this some. But there was one stat that just absolutely floored me about Bruce. And this one was vs. both LH and RH.
Jay Bruce, with a 3-2 count in 41 PA’s, is hitting a robust .000. 18 K’s, 15 BB’s, and ZERO hits. Zero hits in 41 PA’s. Brutal.
Another positive for you all is that I just noticed that Joey Votto played in his 63rd game yesterday. Last season, he was limited to only 62. He also looks very much like the Joey Votto we all expect. This is good news, yes?
Glad to see that one of the big off-season “ifs” landed heads up for the Reds. |

What does my tire size mean?
The two digit number after the slash mark is the aspect ratio which measures the tire’s cross-section to it’s width.
If the tire size is 255/60 R16, the 60 means that the height is 60% of the tire’s width. The bigger the aspect ratio, the bigger the tire’s sidewall will be.

27-inch tires come in common widths of 1-1/8 inch, 1-1/4 inch, and 1-3/8 inch for some older hybrid and cycloross bikes. The BSD of 27-inch tires is 630mm. 27-inch and 700C tires are close enough in size that the inner tubes are compatible; i.e. you can use a 27-inch inner tube in a 700C tire, and vice-versa.

en | N/A | N/A | Because the high school wasn’t put into the lockdown mode and the incident occurred at the end of the school day, students exited the building en masse while police were beginning their investigation. It was also “costume day,” so many students were dressed in atypical clothing.
Deputy Police Chief Steven DuBois declined to comment Thursday about the lockdown dispute, noting the police department doesn’t publicize its response tactics so the information can’t be used to commit new crimes.
DuBois said because police were able to put all available resources into responding immediately, three high school freshman — two girls and a boy — were arrested the same night on charges alleging they breached the peace. All played a role in publishing the so-called hit list, he said.
McDonough said the school department is gathering information about the case and will give the three students “due process” before determining if there will be school penalties, in addition to the legal ramifications.
DuBois said police know the teens’ motive behind the list, but will not disclose that information while the charges are pending. He did say, however, that any threat has been alleviated.
The freshmen will be prosecuted through the District Court’s confidential juvenile justice system. |
