Over 200 mobile startups applied to participate in the MobileBeat 2013 innovation showdown and just two emerged as winners.
Helpshift won the early stage category. Helpshift is a mobile help desk that powers customer service for hundreds of mobile applications. It has built a native mobile SDK that developers can download and code into mobile applications. It connects mobile customers with companies' support staff to provide a "native support experience." People on their phones can file a customer service ticket without leaving the app, so they don't have to visit a website, place a phone call, or send an e-mail to get help. Representatives can create custom alerts and view information about the customers' mobile devices, account information, debug logs, and transaction history to understand (and respond) to each ticket more specifically. The goal is to boost engagement and sales while reducing customer churn, support ticket volume, overhead costs, and bad reviews. Read more on VentureBeat.
The winner of the mid-stage competition was Capriza. Capriza extends web-based business applications to mobile devices with no coding, no integrations, and no APIs. Despite the growth of mobile enterprise apps, there is still a huge portion of business applications not optimized for mobile phones. Capriza allows employees to quickly pick-and-choose the elements they need from desktop workflows and create an HTML5 app that is easy to use and performs well. In 2011, it was reported that Capriza was raising $10.5 million from Andreessen Horowitz, but SEC filings show less than $2 million raised.
Helpshift and Capriza won 5,000 American Airlines Business ExtrAA points, a strategic bootcamp session with an executive from the IBm Venture Capital Group, a one-hour coaching session with a partner at Emergence Capital Partners, and an editorial feature on VentureBeat.
The competition was tough, and the other eight companies (below) also seemed to impress the judges with their presentations. The panel consisted of director of Silicon Valley Bank Jason Mok; Sean Jacobsohn of Emergence Capital Partners; Deborah Magid, Director of software strategy at IBM Venture Capital Group; partner at Lightspeed Ventures Jeremy Liew; and Sequoia Partner Tim Lee.
Lightt is a mobile app for capturing moments in your everyday life and turning them into videos that you actually watch. Using Lightt, users can take videos and can edit, trim and filter them on the go. The videos are easily saved and shared, and can be searched through later for the pieces you want to watch.
Lettuce Apps is an online inventory- and order-management system that enables businesses to capture, track, and process orders from anywhere in the world in real time. It is designed for small wholesalers and e-commerce sites. The system helps its clients stay organized and manage all their orders. Using its mobile app, sales reps can fill orders in seconds and all the data is automatically synced online, as well as automated packing, shipping, invoicing and more. Founder Raad Mobrem said that the order process involves multiple back office systems that do not talk to each other, and Lettuce pulls them all together.
The company launched last year and announced a $2.1 million seed round.
Instabug is a tool that runs in the background of an app, enabling users to send their feedback or bugs instantly by just shaking their devices, without interrupting their experience. Instabug runs in the background, gathering all of the details needed for the developer to trace those bugs later. The platform features a dashboard with all relevant information, like operating system, device, version, data, carrier etc… It also integrates with existing bug tracking and/or project management software. The founders are Egyptian and won the MIT Arab Enterprise forum, which had 4000 participants.
People Plus is a rolodex for Google Glass. CEO Peter Berger said the company has "reimagined the contact list for wearable computing." People wearing glass can survey a room and see potential contacts with contextual information about who they are. For example, an entrepreneur at a tech event can get help from People Plus with identifying VCs in the room, or pinpointing people that they should meet. The goal is to create a "zen-like" experience on Glass that helps you get the most out of networking opportunities, and connect with the right people.
MobileSpaces takes yet another approach to BYOD by placing a strong emphasis on employee privacy. Its software lets phone owners mark all applications they use for work and only those apps can access business data and systems. This is convenient for the consumers because they get to pick their own apps, as well as for the IT teams that are concerned with securing corporate data. MobileSpaces has raised $3 million to date from Accel Partners.
Followapps is mobile application management platform is designed specifically to help chief marketing officers measure the return on investment on their mobile marketing spend and engage their mobile audience. It links a consumer's mobile app activity with a company's CRM to measure relevant KPIs and activate mobile audiences.
Open Garden's service wants to make it possible to crowd-source mobile and Wi-Fi bandwidth. Basically, if people voluntarily pool their bandwidth together, there's a much better chance of never being without access to data again. By joining the Open Garden mesh network, you get faster Internet access, stronger coverage, and free mobile broadband.
NewAer is built as an SDK for Android, iPhone, OS X, and Windows, is a software-based proximity platform that works inside of other applications to make them environmentally aware. The platform for machine-to-machine discovery enables any smartphone application or API to be automated from the presence of radio signals received on a device.

BuroHappold awarded first WELL certification in Poland
The International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™) has awarded our Warsaw office WELL Certification at the Gold level.
This prestigious honour, the first to be awarded to any project in Poland, was given to the building for meeting the IWBI's WELL Building Standard™. The standard focuses on improving the health and wellness of people in the buildings where we live, work and play.
Taking an innovative approach, the office design focused on ensuring the health and wellbeing of our employees. Subsequently, the space has become a 'living lab' where cutting-edge office design ideas can be tested.
BuroHappold has applied innovative technical solutions in several areas including:
Visual comfort – the new healthy office features dimmable LED lighting with pre-programmed light level for every workstation
Clean air – BuroHappold has ensured generous volumes of fresh air supply based on CO2concentration
Optimised temperature – a highly efficient system allows for thermal comfort with full control of temperature in 30 zones.
Design for wellbeing – the office is an enjoyable space which uses natural colours and materials
Extensive monitoring of water and energy use – aiming at reduced levels of consumption
Re-use of a significant part of the existing interior features – resulting in a positive impact on the budget and the environment.
The lighting and acoustic performance of the office space were key to the award of this certification. The office exceeds European best practice in terms of occupant satisfaction. According to Comfortmeter methodology, 66% of employees are happy about sound levels (compared to a best practice benchmark of 59%), and 85% of employees are satisfied with the lighting solutions (exceeding the European best practice benchmark of 78%).
We are delighted to have achieved WELL Certified™ Gold for our Warsaw office as recognition of our focus on the health and wellness of our own employees.
Ian Booth, Partner
BuroHappold receiving the certification: (l-r) Hauke Jungjohann, James Bruce, Magdalena Markowska, Zbigniew Czajewski, Jan Cieśla, Ann-Marie Aguilar, Ian Booth, Katarzyna Chwalbińska-Kusek, Robert Winterhager
Warsaw office director and partner Ian Booth, commented: "BuroHappold provides solutions that are end-user oriented. Our new office is proudly being used as a showcase for health and wellbeing in an open-plan office environment. The survey results also demonstrate that people feel good in our space, proof that the project has been successful. We are delighted to have achieved the WELL Certified™ Gold certification in recognition of our focus on human health and wellness."
The certification is based on seven categories of building performance— Air, Water, Light, Nourishment, Fitness, Comfort and Mind. Created over seven years of rigorous research and development working with leading physicians, scientists, and industry professionals, the WELL Building Standard™ is a performance-based certification system that marries best practices in design and construction with evidence-based scientific research.
"We congratulate BuroHappold for achieving the first WELL certification in Poland," said Rick Fedrizzi, Chairman and CEO of the International WELL Building Institute™. "BuroHappold has demonstrated outstanding leadership, supporting healthier people through better buildings and helping to advance this movement in Poland and globally."
WELL is grounded in a body of evidence-based research that explores the connection between the buildings where we spend approximately 90 percent of our time, and the health and wellness impacts these buildings have on us. To be awarded this certification, the Warsaw office underwent rigorous testing. A final evaluation was carried out by Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), the third-party certification body for WELL, to ensure the office met all WELL Certified™ Gold performance requirements.

Q: Surface Traces Ellipses and Hyperbolas For the surface defined by $z^2 =x^3+2xy^2-x$, describe the traces in planes parallel to the yz-plane. Consider traces in planes $x=k$. For what values of k the traces are ellipses? And for what values of k the traces are hyperbolas that open in the z-direction?
What I have done so far, but I doubt that this is correct:
A plane parallel to the yz-plane has the equation: $ x \,=\,k$ (constant).
In the equation let $ x = k\!:\;\;z^2\:=\:k^3 + 2ky^2 - k$
So we have: $z^2\:=\:2ky^2 + k^3 - k$
$2k$ is a constant; call it $a$.
$k^3 - k$ is a constant; call it $b$.
The equation has the form: . $z^2\:=\:ay^2 + b\quad\Rightarrow\quad z^2 - ay^2 \:=\:b$
The traces are hyperbolas.
If $b$ is positive, the hyperbola is "vertical": $\begin{array}{cc}\cup \\ \cap\end{array}$
If $b$ is negative, the hyperbola is "horizontal": $\supset\;\subset$
If $b = 0$, we have a pair of intersecting lines: $z \:=\:\pm\sqrt{a}\,y$

End Moms speak out on chemicals and GMOs
In a historic development, four synthetic chemicals – DEHP, DIBP, DBP and BBP – have been identified as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) for human health. The news was first released by an official source in Denmark.
These chemical substances have finally been included in the list of REACH substances of very high concern (2) because of equivalent concern of "endocrine disrupting" properties in humans.
Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) Senior Policy Adviser, Lisette van Vliet, says:"We are very pleased that we've finally reached this historic moment: this is the first time that the EU REACH system is officially recognising chemicals as being of very high concern because of their endocrine disrupting properties to humans. The next major step is to put away the erroneous fiction that we can reliably establish 'safe levels' for endocrine disruptors – and then to regulate them accordingly."
The decision was made in an EU process known as "comitology". One of the Member States in the forefront of advocating the official listing, Denmark, has been calling for proper regulation of these phthalates since 2011. Denmark is currently working with the European Chemicals Agency to propose a restriction that will ban these phthalates in products to which consumers come into contact, including products imported from outside the EU.
These phthalates are plasticisers – in other words they are used to make products malable in various products – from vinyl flooring to footballs and from wiring to shower curtains. Some of these products are made from recycled PVC, in which DEHP, one of the endocrine disruptors, has been authorised for use. The NGO Client Earth is contesting this authorisation in court, for multiple reasons, including that this substance is an endocrine disruptor for human health and the environment, which the REACH comitology committee has now confirmed.

This article covers the general concept of content. For the mathematical term, see content (measurement theory) .
A content ( English content is) something that either in a fillable container is or by a form enclosed or contained in it.

3 Description of terms
4 Today's meaning and use of terms
5 content in law
6 Control of content
7 Content Analysis
8 Linguistic
The term encompasses both physical content (e.g. the wine in a wine bottle ), measurable properties (e.g. the cubature of a building ) and non-physical (abstract) content (e.g. the content of a book , a document or a data storage medium ). Physical contents are material goods that are in a container , for example for storage or transport . Non-physical content is usually data , information or knowledge , experience and opinions . For example, they can be contained in a file , message or image , or they can be conveyed through literature or a work of art .
Media content , especially the new media to capture the information content for which also the anglicized " Content " ( English for "content, content" ) is used.
Word origin
The word content did not yet exist in Middle High German , but can only be proven in the 14th century , when it appeared on January 30, 1393 "after inhaldung diesz brieffes". Then it appeared as "pause" in a sales deed from Riedesel Bellersheim from 1440. In a deed from 1448 by Elector Friedrich II. "Inhaldung" is mentioned. In the East Frisian document book of 1492 it is mentioned as document content ("des in orkonde… synt hyrup gemaket 2 nottulen gelicks inneholdes"). The "content" of a contract first appeared in 1499 in the documents on the history of the Swabian Federation . At first, the term with its various word forms inhalt, inhald, innehaldt, innehold, inholde seemed to specialize in legal language for the content of a letter or a document , whereby these word forms indicate a common root with the expression "pause".
Friedrich Esaias Pufendorf mentioned the "inhold" in 1770 in connection with the renovation of religion through the Reformation. It is evident that the lexicographer Johann Christoph Adelung first mentioned the different meanings in 1775.
Description of terms
In science , technology , economy , administration and in everyday life , terms facilitate understanding. For the description of terms, the term content and scope are of fundamental importance. According to DIN 2342 (2011-08) in terminology, the term content ( intention ) describes the entirety of the characteristics of a term. For example, the conceptual content of the parallelogram consists of the features " square " and " parallel , opposite sides". At a given point in time, the number of concept features cannot be changed without also changing the concept at the same time. As a result, the totality of the features also enables a term to be delimited from other terms with larger, smaller or different conceptual content. The larger the term content, the more precisely it is specified and the smaller its scope and vice versa. According to DIN 2342, the scope of the term (extension) is the entirety of the sub-terms of a term on the same hierarchy level.
A conceptual content is "insufficient" if it contains fewer, and "excessive" if it contains more features than belong to its adequate definition . Since every term is clearly defined by its content, no term can have more than a single definition. Ideologically polysemous terms in the political vocabulary of the GDR and FRG showed that the semantic difference can extend to the content of the term ( denotation ) or the evaluation of the presentation of the subject ( connotation ) or both:
Different content of terms with different evaluations at the same time: as in dictatorship or partisanship ,
different conceptual content with the same evaluation: as in freedom or democracy ,
same or approximately the same conceptual content with different evaluation: as in communism or revolution .
These terms had different denotations and / or connotations in both German economic systems.
Today's meaning and usage of terms
The content is an abstract , polysemous term with various ambiguous meanings. In addition to its physical, measurable or non-physical variants, the qualitative and quantitative aspect can also play a role. In the qualitative aspect, the question of the essential purpose-specific content must be answered ( ranking ), in the quantitative aspect the question of the amount of content is in the foreground. Content is insufficient for interested parties if the quality and / or quantity does not meet the requirements , and superfluous if it exceeds the requirements accordingly.
The content is often used to mean the meaning in contrast to the external form . This ideal type of content may also be referred to as a statement , subject or topic . The reduction of the content to its essential core leads to the Aristotelian concept of essence and in particular the quintessence ("core statement"). The question of what the essential content is depends heavily on the context , especially the interest and prior knowledge of the questioner. The question of the actual content in the general case is, among other things, the subject of philosophy . The answer is closely related to the question of the meaning and evaluation of the content. In aesthetics , for example, the question of the relationship between content and form arises:
"In the case of the value of a work of art as such, something essentially depends on the quality of the content it represents, the value of the idea that is expressed in it, not rather everything depends on the form in which the content is presented"
- Gustav Theodor Fechner : Preschool of Aesthetics. Breitkopf & Härtel Verlag, 1876, Chapter XXI.
Occasionally, the content also means a capacity (such as the electrical capacity ), a size ( scope ) or a proportion. These contents can be precisely defined, the corresponding branch in mathematics is the measurement theory . In geometry , content is often short for the area (the area) of a flat figure or the volume (the volume ) of a body. In mathematical terminology, a distinction is made in this connection between the Jordanian content (see also Riemann integral ) and the more generally applicable Lebesgue integral .
Content in law
The norm-logical school of jurisprudence understands "legal content " to be ontic - causal being in contrast to the axiological ought , which relates to being. However, this terminology is not entirely accurate; for ontic-causal being is never identical with the content of law; it can at best correspond to it.
In jurisprudence, form and legal content are essential criteria for legal effectiveness . Legal science deals with the interpretation of the content of legal norms , contracts and declarations of intent when their meaning is not clear. The legal entities and the legislature are therefore obliged to formulate content ( legal clauses ) in such a way that they clearly and comprehensively reflect the will for third parties . Legal content proves to be incomplete if there are loopholes in the law or in the contract . The content error describes a lack of will in which the person making the declaration has a subjectively incorrect idea of the objective (possibly to be determined by interpretation) content or the scope of the declaration of intent he has made. According to § § 307 to § 309 BGB, general terms and conditions are subject to a content control by the courts, which examine the clauses of these contractual conditions in the event of a dispute.
The content of the package inserts , instructions for use , indications of contents or tables of contents is of particular importance for consumers .
Control of content
Particularly in the case of substances that can be harmful to health or the environment , it must be ensured that the content does not escape in an uncontrolled manner. When transporting dangerous goods , special precautions must be taken. For example, if the packaging is damaged by a hole or is permeable so that the contents can escape, larger systems are also referred to as a leak . However, the release of ingredients can also be done intentionally, for example in the case of drugs .
In the case of information , too , control of the content can be wanted ( censorship , data protection ) or not wanted ( freedom of information , obligation to provide information ). Especially in non-physical content, the question can ask whether ownership in the form of intangible monopoly rights ( intellectual property ) can be claimed by them or not. Wherever content in a general form can be part of case law , laws must clearly regulate what is to be understood as content and what is not. In the Federal German law on the use of teleservices (TDG), content is understood to mean, for example, all data that is received by the user of a teleservice , with the exception of those that are related to the transmission process itself.
Content analyzes are a scientific research method and help to evaluate more or less complex issues . It is an empirical method for the systematic, intersubjectively comprehensible description of content and formal characteristics of information. Content analysis is used in particular in communication and media studies , but it is also used in psychology (evaluation of test protocols ), psychiatry (analysis of patient interviews ) or social psychology ( readability ).
Metadata , i.e. information about the content, is used to identify content. Examples of this are package inserts and tables of contents that list the individual components of a substance. In some cases, conclusions can already be drawn from the external shape of a container (e.g. packaging ) or from a description of the actual contents. However, this can also lead to false conclusions. For example, sham packs are intended to fool a different content.
This type of content analysis only concerns non-physical (abstract) content, while food chemistry deals with the material content analysis of ingredients. Ingredients and active ingredients are substances that have a specific effect on an organism . The manufacturer's obligation to provide information for food results from the EU Food Information Regulation ( list of ingredients ). The international nomenclature for cosmetic ingredients regulates the correct declaration of ingredients in cosmetics .
The adjectival use in terms of content aims to differentiate it from the external form (formal or external) . Something insignificant without any essential message is described as meaningless or empty of content , whereas texts with (too) much content are heavy in content .

Necrotising Fasciitis is a rare disease in which the connective tissue of the fascia between the muscles or around organs becomes inflamed and eventually necrotic due to a sudden, widespread microbial infection. There are two types of Necrotizing Fasciitis: type I is poly-microbial and type II is mono-microbial. Type I, poly-microbial is the more common cause of Necrotizing Fasciitis.
Why does Necrotizing Fasciitis occur? No one knows the exact causes of Necrotizing Fasciitis, however, it is well known that people who are: immune-compromised, have diabetes, chronic systemic diseases are more predisposed to the condition. Necrotizing Fasciitis has, on even rarer occasions, effected otherwise previously well and healthy persons.
One of the hypothesis about the cause of Necrotizing Fasciitis is that a person who is malnourished, in a weakened state, or immune-compromised, will cause opportunistic bacteria to try to multiple more commonly.
Because the infection often occurs deep into the body tissue very limited signs are observed on the skin or surround area of the limb until the disease has thoroughly progressed. Often, by the time Necrotizing Fasciitis is diagnoses, urgent surgery and widespread intravenous antibiotics are the only solutions.
If the infection is superficial (less common presentation), then the localized areas will show signs associated with infection, such as inflammation, swelling, redness, urticaria, itchiness, pyrexia, and pain.
If the infection is deep in the body tissues, then little will be seen or felt, until the infection progresses. Then the following signs may be identified: fevers, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, and deep muscular pain that seems excessive given the outward appearance of the limb.
Necrotizing Fasciitis is often referred to as 'Flesh Eating Virus' or 'Flesh Eating Bacteria.'The term 'Flesh Eating Virus' and 'Flesh Eating Bacteria' is an incorrect view of necrotizing fasciitis. First of all, necrotizing fasciitis refers to a syndrome caused by bacteria, not a virus and in reality, the bacterium does not actually 'eat' the cells. Instead, what occurs, is the poly-microbial or mono-microbial infection causes a breakdown of the cell walls within the tissues of the skin, muscles, and fascia which results in the release of streptococcal pyogenic exotoxins – which, in turn, cause the non-discriminatory activation of T-cells and subsequent widespread overproduction of cytokines . Excess cytokines cause a further release of cell mediators, breakdown of the cell structure, and clotting factors, resulting in haemorrhagic shock, such as DIC.

On the Road Again: Rams head to San Diego
Authors: Preston Cagle
The rest and relaxation of a bye week should fit right in with
the sun and fun of a trip to California. The satisfaction will not
linger long, though, unless CSU evens out its conference record and
gets a win Saturday against San Diego State at Qualcomm
Stadium.
The Aztecs come into the game 2-3 (0-1 MWC) with their two wins
coming at home and their three losses on the road, including a
heartbreaking 24-21 loss to No. 13 Michigan.
"It has everything to do with staying alive in the Mountain West
Conference championship," said CSU quarterback Justin Holland. "We
haven't let that dream die. That's what our goal still is, and it
is huge for us to go out and pick this one up."
The Rams will be looking to get the running game started early
and often to loosen the defense up for Justin Holland. They will
also look to improve on third-down conversions, as they were unable
to convert on third down two weeks ago against Brigham Young.
"Basically we are going to try and run the football again,
that's what Colorado State does," said senior H-back Joel Dreessen.
"We got to work on our third-down efficiency. I think we were only
3-of-12 last week, and we have got to keep those chains
That running game will be headed by junior running back Uldis
Juanarajs, who has rushed for 77 carries for 340 yards and three
touchdowns this year. Juanarajs had one of his best games against
BYU, running for 88 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, and he
has had a week of rest and preparation coming into this game.
"I think, not just for myself, a lot of guys are banged up, and
bye weeks always help out," Jaunarajs said.
The defense will also have to step up this week. The Aztecs are
led onto the field by junior quarterback Matt Dlugolecki, who has
thrown for 1,268 yards and six touchdowns but has also been picked
off seven times this season. Juniors Jeff Webb and Robert Ortiz
have been Dlugolecki's main targets this year. Webb has 37 catches
for 434 yards and three touchdowns, while Ortiz has managed to pull
down 23 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns.
Holland has been leading the Rams offense, but with the loss of
starting tight end Matt Bartz and injuries and double teams
plaguing David Anderson, Holland will be looking for other
receivers to get open.
"(We are) definitely (working on) getting our tight ends more
involved," Holland said. "Get the ball to Dreessen and the other
tight ends, teams are starting to double our wide receivers,
especially Dave (Anderson), so get the ball to the tight ends more
and continue working on running the ball."
One major obstacle that looks to punish the Rams offense, and
has in the past, is senior All-American linebacker Kirk Morrison.
Morrison, the 2003 MWC Defensive Player of the Year, led the Aztecs
with 115 tackles last year, 70 of them coming unassisted.
With two similar offenses that rely on the aerial attack and
have struggled on the ground, the Rams realize the importance of
winning this evenly matched contest.
"It's so important, especially at this point, our remaining
games, every single one of them, is a must win," Dreessen said. "To
accomplish what this football team wants to accomplish this year,
and we are definitely taking that sort of mindset into this week's

YAMASKA PARK, Que.— Sometime between our visit to Plaisance Park and our visit to Yamaska, Miss Jilly's love-hate relationship with her stroller became a full-on hate relationship.
While we celebrate her independence and boast about her scientific curiosity ("rock!" "tree!" "cloud!"), having her toddle rather than roll means we cover far less ground. No matter; we intend to return to Yamaska.
We knew the moment we pulled onto the grounds that we'd found what we were looking for. Let me say this: never judge a park by its parking lot. Yamaska's was nearly full on the lazy day we visited, smack in the middle of a holiday weekend. But once we were off the asphalt, we did not feel crowded.
With Baby at Yamaska Park in southern Quebec.
On our hour and a half stroll through the bush we only saw one other couple (and to that couple, who walked quietly and carried big binoculars, we want to extend our thanks for your understanding that it's more important for a baby to yell "birds!" than to silently watch them).
Here in the Appalachian Lowlands, the trails aren't wild and overgrown, but they wind through old growth and the trees press in on you. It didn't matter that the afternoon was overcast because the sky made only brief appearances through holes where birch and maples had collapsed in recent storms.
Little Miss Independence had an apple in one hand and her doll in the other for the first part of the walk. She wouldn't go back in her stroller and she was furious when we put the doll in her place—Baby wasn't to be strapped in, either. Thing is, our little mother soon discovered why we choose not to carry her. Having a baby on your hip is hard work.
That's when she started putting Baby in the stroller, then on the ground and saying: "Walk!" When I took Baby's hand for a while and danced her plastic feet along the ground, Jilly was alarmed. She eventually allowed us to let the doll ride on top of the stroller.
Yamaska easily gets four stroller wheels (out of five). The trails are well marked but not so manicured that you forget you're in the woods—and foot and bike trails are separate, so there's no squeezing or dodging out of the way. The grassy area and beach on the shores of the Réservoir Choinière are pristine. The playground is a fantastic design that incorporates trees and animals and offers challenges for toddlers through grade schoolers.
The park is about 90 kilometres east of Montreal, near Granby. Entrance is $6.50 per adult, $3 for children 6 and up. Or get a yearly pass to all of Quebec's parks for $58.50 ($117 for a family). Activities, boat rides, bike rentals and camping are extra. Check the Sepaq website for details.

Is Aditya Chopra's Preference For Privacy Turning Into a Worrying Obsession?
Why is Bollywood's Mr Powerful fleeing like a trapped animal?
Aditya Chopra rushes into his car after watching Ghajini
For Aditya Chopra, a trip to the movies, one of his favourite pastimes, turned into a nightmare on Wednesday evening when he found himself surrounded by a press posse.
Aditya almost pushes the cameraman in an attempt to stay away from the media glare. While running, he accidentally drops his mobile phone, which he rushes to pick up before dashing towards his car again
The 37-year-old reclusive producer director who is fiercely protective of his privacy was at a suburban theatre to see a paid preview of Ghajini, the film that's pitted against Chopra's own Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. But what stunned onlookers and has sparked some concern among Chopra's close-knit group of friends is his reaction upon seeing media persons at the venue. While most would have grimaced or tried to ward off the media, Chopra, who exited the
cinema hall through the back entrance, pulled down the sun visor of the car and covered his face with his arms, looking terrified. All through the few minutes that it took to negotiate the car, Chopra refused to look up and when he did get off, head lowered, he just started fleeing from the cameras like a trapped animal.
While his driver reverses the car, Aditya puts his hands over his face and pulls down the visor. Curious onlookers are of course bewidered on seeing his desperate attempts to avoid being photographed
Chopra desperately covers from the cameras
Still hiding his face but the signature mustache is a give away.
So is the bossman at Yashraj, and one of the most powerful men in Bollywood, letting the fear of being recognised affect his day-to-day life?
People who have known him for long say Chopra wasn't always like this. There was a time when he would talk, even if somewhat hesitantly, to anyone who visited his father's office at Vikas Park Juhu. But the more successful he became, the more fiercely protective of his anonymity. Ironically, he would draw far less attention to himself if he were not so fanatical. The media's interest really lies in the stars of Aditya Chopra's movies.
However, a close friend of Chopra describes him as a "regular guy who is just an introvert."

This month I have accidentally found myself face-to-face with a physics conundrum, the second law of thermodynamics which is – in layman's terms that I can explain no further – a universal law of gradual deterioration and disintegration where order inevitably declines into insidious entropy and chaos. And my house and its décor appears to be the perfect illustration of this.
I have lived in my current home for just over four years. When I moved in it was in beautiful condition and we have tried our hardest to keep it shipshape. But nonetheless, we have been overtaken by a gradual deterioration into threadbare chaos with handprints up the stairs.
We were warned in Genesis, 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust', but had hoped that regular trips to Homebase and greeting the children with the loving welcome, "Take your shoes off at the door," would keep us on top of things – alas, no. And so it's that time of year (and I don't mean Valentine's Day, although, if The Significant Other is reading this, roses would be lovely and B&Q does not constitute a romantic trip out) when weekends roll by without a single BBQ invitation. I couldn't find any more excuses to avoid painting the house.
Inspired by those New Year DIY commercials in which, within the space of an advert break, happy couples transform a tired living room into something that could grace the pages of OXhomes magazine (whilst singing a song appropriate for a Disney movie) I armed myself with a roller and tray set to give the walls a quick lick of colour. Or that was the plan.
I must have been watching a fantasy channel or I didn't buy expensive enough equipment – either way, the brush didn't act as intended (Fairy Godmother's wand) as the sun streamed through the dust motes, Snow White's woodland friends conspicuous only by their absence. Perhaps they had been invited to a BBQ.
Our stairs really aren't the Sistine Chapel or even the Forth Bridge but by the third coat it certainly felt like it. Mind you, the old sheets I used to protect the carpets were, by this point, splattered like a Jackson Pollock so perhaps it was a fairy-tale ending: at least the carpet was saved, although I'm still waiting for Tate Modern to ring.
And as for the garden where I headed next, the ironwork of the patio table and chairs now sparkle in a shiny enamel black and so do I: I am also guaranteed to be rust-free for the next ten years, if thermodynamics don't get to me first.

A tweet comparing the Chancellor's performance to that which one might expect from a toddler on gas at the dentists has since gone viral, along with comparisons to Osborne's previous unaccountably spaced out public appearances.
The Canary recalls this baffling appearance in the House of Commons.
And then there was his attempt to interact with human beings.
Goldsmith's campaign was in enough hot water already, steeped as it has been in some of the most divisive and racist language we've seen in British electoral history.
The final straw for many came last week, when Goldsmith wrote a piece for those known race-baiters The Daily Mail, linking Khan to the terrorist attacks of 7/7. The piece was so overtly racist and unbefitting of a candidate for political office, that it provoked an immediate and angry response from Conservative Peer Baroness Warsi.
Life-long Tory and Daily Mail columnist Peter Oborne told the BBC's Sunday Politics programme: " Sadiq Khan is as mainstream as they come.
The hateful campaign has unified a solid bloc to vote against the Conservative candidate in Thursday's ballot, rallying at the Twitter hashtag #NastyZac – with voters wishing to send a strong message to all political parties that campaigns conducted in this fashion will not be tolerated. Many called for Prime Minister David Cameron to suspend Goldsmith from the party, as Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn has recently with members who allegedly made anti-Semitic comments.
The efforts appear to be working, with Labour candidate Sadiq Khan extending his lead to 20 percentage points in last week's YouGov poll, and bookmakers Betfair cutting Mr Goldsmith's chances of winning to just 2%.
The deployment of the politics of racial prejudice is dangerous, generating divisions which last far beyond the campaign of the politicians who engage in them. They have no place in our national conversation, and voters should make sure they have no place in our corridors of power either.

TASCHEN David Bailey. Art Edition No. 76-150 'Jean Shrimpton, 1965'
In 1965, portrait and fashion photographer David Bailey released his groundbreaking book Box Of Pin-Ups, securing him as the hip tastemaker for 1960s London cool. With Mick Jagger his best man at his wedding to Catherine Deneuve, Bailey was also the inspiration for the classic movie Blow-Up. From the Swinging '60s to the present day, Bailey has never stopped working and pushing the boundaries of his signature in-your-face portraiture and is widely regarded as one of the great postwar photographers. This big book of Bailey is the culmination of an incredible career, the result of two years' worth of research into his personal archives. Through penetrating pictures of the beautiful and the notorious, the idolized and the powerful, friends and family, writers, artists, and fellow photographers, Bailey presents a sweeping cultural history of the last 60 years. Featured subjects include Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí, Kate Moss, Nelson Mandela, Francis Bacon, Zaha Hadid, the Rolling Stones, Jack Nicholson, Brigitte Bardot, Margaret Thatcher, and hundreds more. As his friend Damien Hirst writes in the foreword: "He's the master of his art and he's created a mind-blowing visual language." Additional text includes a three-part essay on Bailey's portraiture by noted photography critic Francis Hodgson. This Art Edition comes with a signed print of Jean Shrimpton, a.k.a. "The Shrimp," Bailey's muse and lover. To this day one of the most recognizable faces of 1960s Swinging London, she inevitably featured in Bailey's game-changing Box Of Pin-Ups. "She was magic. In a way she was the cheapest model in the world-you only needed to shoot half a roll of film and then you had it," said Bailey. Limited to a total of 3,000 numbered and signed copies, each edition comes with a bookstand designed by Marc Newson and a set of four book jackets featuring John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Jean Shrimpton, Mick Jagger, and Andy Warhol. This Art Edition (No. 76-150) comes with the signed print Jean Shrimpton, 1965. Also available as three other Art Editions of 75 copies each, with alternative signed prints, and as a signed Collector's Edition of 2,700 copies (No. 301-3,000).

Maith an fear Gary. You have done your country some service.
I am reminded of David Graeber.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5000_Years
The 2008 bank guarantee was a disaster, but in fairness to the late former MoF, the man received the political equivalent of a hospital pass. His predecessors had left the stable door open.
Haughey saw that sovereignty was an asset like any other, and that Ireland Inc could be sold for a price. He had a nice line in shirts, but we have unfortunately lost ours. We need to take our democracy more seriously, and get rid of some ideological blinkers.
As so often in history, the record shows that finance was exported in huge volume into a country which did not have the regulatory or business infrastructure to invest it productively, so it went into consumption and mostly flowed back out. Like mainlining heroin, wonderful until you need another hit.
They say catastrophe happens silently. Our government and DoF were captured by a combination of domestic and foreign private stakeholders. The breadth and depth of that capture will become apparent as debt deflation takes hold. It's not just capital that is pulling out.
Shay Begorrahsays:
For those without a Microsoft Office Document viewer the following Google Docs seems to give a good view of the article, even the graphs.
Ireland and the IMF: financing capital flight – "Don't mention the war on behalf of German financial interests."
1. The IMF would possibly say that it's only a minority partner in the Irish bailout.
2. As regards the current account, in respect of merchandise exports, there is a permanent foreign company surplus related to tax strategies that is mainly held in the dollar accounts of US banks or even during a year can be invested in US Treasuries without technically being booked as a transfer to the US.
This surplus masks the real deficit as it's not part of the domestic economy.
The surplus rose from €23bn in 2007 as imports fell, to €26bn in 2008, to €37bn in 2010 and €36bn both 2011 and 2012. Meanwhile services went from a deficit of €4bn in 2007 to €11bn in 2010 and a surplus of €3bn in 2012.
I know that there are other flows, including FDI, where rising 'trapped cash' balances are treated as an inflow.
I'm wondering if this has any impact on the calculation here?

Gary's note raises again the issue of the IMF funding the Eurozone common currency area at all. The Eurozone has not had a BOP deficit of any consequence at any stage prior to, or during, the crisis.
Most of the Fund's assets now consist of loans to countries in Europe, an extraordinary state of affairs, and have been lent in financing a moral hazard machine for bank creditors. If all Eurozone members are to be required to provide 'national backstops' for future bank busts, the machine trundles on and the issues ducked in 2010 will arise again.

I would also have to say that, although the IMF has been on the side of the angels when it has come to analysis and advocacy, they have caved in and signed off when it comes to actual decision-making. Time for them to apply a bit of conditionality to the Eurozone as a whole.
Pay no attention to that great sucking sound. Remember: twas the public sector wot did this to you!
Frank Galtonsays:
It's very interesting but —
Latvia shurely not the only comparison one could make. Non Eurozone and its foreign shareholders in its banking system didn't pull the plug, which helped sustain funding. Our banking system funding dried up completely. That interaction of government solvency plus banking solvency must give the bailouts a different character. Our FDI also gives the balance of payments a different profile as to some extent it was offsetting the domestic private sector (firms + households) current account deficit, so even in 2008 it didn't look so much like a current account crisis.
Contrasting the IMF treatment of two countries, one of which is in the EA and the other not, and with widely different economic circumstances, apart from a boom funded by foreign capital, is hardly likely to throw up many valid results.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-28/nordic-banks-draw-latvian-rebuke-as-dominance-denounced.html
As to the role of the IMF, its involvement is readily explained by the fact that the US (with Canada) and the main countries of the EU dominate its decision-making. It has not been a good experience, either for the IMF or the EU.
Latvia will adopt the euro on 1 January 2014.

'If all Eurozone members are to be required to provide 'national backstops' for future bank busts, the machine trundles on and the issues ducked in 2010 will arise again'
That isn't the half of it. We live in an age of financial tyranny.
'Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser made notably cautious comments Friday on CNBC. "I think many people – myself included – I'm not alone in this – are beginning to worry about the consequences of how we unwind ourselves from all this stuff… It's not because that we know what's going to happen. It's because unintended consequences or the build-up of risks can be very important. I think we have to balance, not just the risks in the economy, but our own risks that we're creating down the road."
http://www.prudentbear.com/2013/11/the-mayjune-dynamic.html
But it has thrown up a valid result and one that is new to me. The IMF knew from the outset that their funding was to facilitate the shifting of private financial debt onto the public purse; to ringfence capital and protect its flight.
That this approach ran counter to their normal modus operandi of providing assistance only for current account deficiencies must have been very apparent to the IMF.
The IMF, despite its protestations and its spinning the idea that it has a very different minority view, is coming across as a very unprincipled and duplicitous gang member, both in relation to Ireland and Cyprus. The IMF does what the big boys want, regardless of what it says on the tin.
Attempts to wash its hands of the consequences of decisions of which it was an integral part, sound very unconvincing.
@ Joseph Ryan
The idea that an organisation like the IMF can be divorced from the interests of the countries making up its membership does not reflect the reality.
Scandinavian banks, and one in particular, Swedbank, were so dominant in Latvia that they decided to stay the course (also in other Baltic countries). In Ireland's case, a la Iceland, we had our own banking masters of the universe, whose edifices have either been closed down or largely taken over by the state. Most other foreign banks have folded their tents and have left.
In most instances, home governments had to dig deep to keep their own banks afloat after their foreign adventures. The idea that they would happily cooperate in digging deep for banks of others, the supervision of which was not their responsibility, might be defensible in an ideal world but not in the real one.
I frankly find it puzzling that the political dimension is taken as a fact of life when discussing domestic economic issues and seemingly ignored in the case of international ones. Latvia is a case in point. There are many economic arguments against its adoption of the euro. The political argument of seeing the country even more firmly anchored in the EU clearly outweighs them.

Gary O'Callaghansays:
Thank you for comments.
I fully agree with Colm and Kevin. Can the IMF continue to disburse huge sums to euro area members, when there is no external imbalance for the euro area as a whole, and without conditionality for the euro zone itself?
This is a very serious issue and the Fund has been very reluctant to comment on intra-euro-area issues, such as Ireland's burden. The latest IMF review of euro area policies was a damp squib:
http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/scr/2013/cr13231.pdf
The main point in the Note was to highlight the extent of the capital flight envisaged in the Irish program. Details of the current account are less interesting. Also, the comparison with Latvia was more of a heuristic device–it is easier to grasp these issues when there is some comparator. That is all.
But, as a matter of interest, I use the same graphs to present three other IMF programs here (if it works!):

@ Gary O'Callaghan
I guess that the point I made about the headline current account as per above, is valid.
Irish sovereign debt maturities were valued at about €25bn in 2011-2013.
As regards reversal of capital flows, there could hardly been much practically done about most of it.
The 3 main foreign banks operating in the Irish domestic market: RBS, Bank of Scotland/Halifax and post crash Lloyds, and Danske, have incurred losses of about €25bn.
That's the cost of their bad bets but they couldn't be forced to pump in more capital if that wasn't their preference.
@ MH
Assuming they could afford – or, rather, their governments – such a preference.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-05-02/denmark-s-too-big-to-fail-banks-seek-bailout-text-in-sifi-law.html
MH,
I don't understand the point about the current account, I fear.
But the point of the Note was to demonstrate the size of capital outflows.
It might appear that little can be done to stem capital outflows. It is indeed difficult. Such policies rely on restoring trust in the banking system, in particular, and there is a long literature on what can be done. (The paper by Cottarelli and Giannini referred to in the Note is a good place to start).
In the Irish context, a firm commitment from the ECB to provide adequate liquidity support to Irish banks would have been a good start. Instead, there was public grumbling from ECB Board members that liquidity support was already too high. Bank run anybody?
..too insolvent banks…:)

@ JG
No surprise there! It reinforces me in my view that the continued external financial pressure will bring a halt to political grand-standing and, ultimately, lead to a better functioning economic and political system. But how long will it take? That is the question!
From the Constancio speech.
"It is clear that for the successful completion of the rebalancing process Europe needs more investment and higher domestic demand growth. We therefore need a more coordinated approach to macroeconomic policy at the euro area level to achieve higher demand growth, as well as the continuation of structural reforms in all member countries in order to increase growth and facilitate a more encompassing rebalancing process.
At the same time, to support national structural reforms in stressed countries, the enactment of the announced contractual programmes with financial means to support their implementation should play a significant role.
Finally, it would be important if a future decision could be reached to implement at the euro area level what is referred in the President Van Rompuy's Report "Towards a genuine Economic and Monetary Union" as "….the establishment of a fiscal capacity to facilitate adjustment to economic shocks. This could take the form of an insurance-type mechanism between euro area countries to buffer large country-specific economic shocks. Such a function would ensure a form of fiscal solidarity exercised over economic cycles, improving the resilience of the euro area as a whole and reducing the financial and output costs associated with macroeconomic adjustments."
The idea of "contractual programmes" is evidently still very much alive. As matters stand, the conduct of economic policy is legally a matter for the individual states. The emphasis on "contractual" is evidently designed to get over this hurdle. It would also be necessary to involve national parliaments as budgetary authority ultimately rests with them (as in the case of Ireland although one would never know it from the cavalier way governments have acted over the years).
You will note the messages to Germany in the first paragraph quoted. The structural reforms that Germany needs to undertake are currently being addressed to some extent in the coalition negotiations.
@DOCM,Hi DOCM…Fitzgerald.."When people are taken out of their depths they lose their heads, no matter how charming a bluff they put up.".
Now they can get on with negotiating it.
Constancio's speech was quite good,certainly an improvement on the 'we all partied' mantra.Its from a conf. toady,so far the other papers are not available but here is the link-Nixon should be good.This part was refreshing.
"The more important factor driving the economic imbalances up to 2007 was the increasing private financial deficits – or put differently, rising private debt levels financed by the banking sectors of both core and peripheral countries."
http://www.santanderinternationalbankingconference.com/programme
Regarding Germany-SWL at mainly macro had interesting view.
http://mainlymacro.blogspot.com/
That is, of course, the most significant point in the speech from a general political and economic policy analysis point of view. However, achieving "higher demand growth" is often equated in the German political world with outside pressure to go on a spending spree. The German electorate would not stand for it. More importantly, it would not work. But making some of the changes sought by the SPD and not raising taxes would go some way towards a solution.
There are also interesting moves on the energy front cf.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-05/eu-set-to-recommend-overhaul-of-state-support-in-energy-markets.html
The problem I have with an approach at the macro level is it seems to ignore issues such as these. All the countries involved give massive amounts of state aid – i.e. their taxpayers money – to support their "national champions"(not to mention insisting on lower emission standards for industrial sectors with a particular national interest). This is a mutually destructive approach.
@DOCM-Gary's paper is quite good,don't want stray too far but i was following the vote in Berlin over the weekend.Energy not really my area,where's Brian Woods,Snr when you need him.I did assist the eldest on a paper she did on 'nuclear' power but from a US perspective,some rather convincing arguments for it,but clearly downside risks too.

The EP would be easier to take seriously if (a) the quality of those elected was better and (b) it did not cost one billion euro a year, if I am not mistaken, to run (a large proportion of the bill being paid by Germany's taxpayers). On the other hand, a system of checks and balances is essential to the functioning of any democracy (which, as we all know, is without price).
As to the BvG, staying out of harm's way has become its leitmotif. Indulging serial constitutional complainants like Peter Gauweiler brings with it certain risks.
By the way, any chance of abolishing your Senate as a way out of the current Washington gridlock?

Matters remain finely balanced!
The interesting point is the limitation on the freedom of action of the German government because of the need to consult parliament. Such a requirement is contrary to any form of effective government involvement in the detailed implementation of an international agreement. Or maybe that was the intention?
In the matter of financial guarantees, it is difficult to imagine how it could operate without having the opposite effect to that intended.
MickeyHickeysays:
The system continues to be rigged against the PIIGSF. The ECB should be moving heaven and earth to get the inflation rate EZ wide above 2%. If Germany can block that then the PIIGSF have to save themselves as best they can including ejecting EZ members who are opposed to stimulus.
The USA has more leverage on German domestic policy than the PIIGSF have and appear to be prepared to use it. Commodity prices are declining based on lack of demand in China which makes the risk of world wide deflation a real threat.
The EZ in particular is vulnerable to a prolonged period of deflation. If that happens protectionism and nationalism will tear Europe apart and Germany will be the least of our worries.

Two very interesting links, neither with any surprising content. (One could, however, have been spared the question by the journalist on the supposed importance of the Protestant as opposed to the Catholic ethos. Bavaria is as Catholic as they come.)
Equally, with regard to Greece, the point of difference has nothing to do with religion but acceptance of a fundamental requirement of democratic cohesion; you must pay your taxes! The score rate for assessed collections at the moment is somewhat above 50% as I understand the latest reports.
In relation to Germany, the fundamental point relates to the distinction between the powers of the executive in a democracy and that of its parliament. Merkel, the tactician, has fudged the difference in a manner which would have been unthinkable for earlier German chancellors (not including Schroeder).
Ireland has a choice between the mercies of the Bundestag or the markets.

To quote Stephen Kinsella;

It is to be hoped that all those being paid from the public purse, including the staff of universities, share the inherent sense of go-it alone confidence implicit in this advice.
Does anybody have some reference for this claim of Ken Rogoff (in the guardian link) ?
"As the economists Maurice Obstfeld and Galina Hale recently noted, German and French banks earned large profits intermediating flows between Asian savers and Europe's periphery. "
Hale and Obstfeld:

@DOCM,its an interesting question.The election was signposted,as was the outcome.So further talk on that a waste off time,assume the irish govt were aware off the timeline.Odd exit strategy,the posing has a bit off a whiff…
@ francis,the imf proposal is moot,they tipped their hand.Will read your link,GOC thanks for the above link.
@ GOC
a) Thanks for your original study.
To your Figure 1. Did I miss this in the text, or what is the estimate of how much of the DEU 81% 1Q2008 of IRL GDP were pass through to the US subprime disasters, via the IFSC? Which could explain most of the 83 – 41% delta to 2Q2012?
When I look at the timing, the risk manager thing in Ireland happened 1Q2007, the IKB /Sachsen LB in Summer 2007, and the crashes of US house (S&P C&S) and stock market (S&P500) being of 2008, a clear trouble signal in Jan 2008.
So to me it looks like the crash in in the US drove all subsequent reactions, but to see this clearly, one would need (at least) quarterly data
b) Thanks for the Hale link!
I tried to interpret this with respect to my question above as well. Didn't help much.
To its content in comparison to Rogoff's claim.
It does not talk at all about profits, especially not that they could be large.
The data are incomplete, having series jumps from 1997 and in 1999. For Germany the lending fraction increased from 16% to 19%, how exciting…. Fig 7 upper left. The pictures in Fig 10, compare for Bayern and DB left/right scales 10 or 3, with numbers of 30 b vs. a balance sheet of 2000 b for the DB, gosh that must have been the focus of their attention, and it compares to Fin(ancial centers) and not, as claimed by Rogoff, Asian savers.
Comparing Fig 8 Core lending of max 80 to Fig 9 GIIPS max borrowing 300 gives a fraction of about 25%, astonishingly SMALL ! Given the vicinity, and the removed FX risk.
And so a Harvard Genie Rogoff sees "giant profits" in astonishingly small fractions, which barely come out of the noise, if at all, given the broken data series. And of course, he also did his PhD with Krugman at the MIT, like all the crazies. His sloppiness was not just one time with one excel sheet, I count 5 in this short sentence only.
And Rogoff was not the mastermind of the ECB policy. Prodi was not the father of the Euro, the French demanded it, and it would have been not signed off by Germany without the precautions, other now lament.
And there will be no wealth transfer from the north to richer people in the south.
@ John Gallaher
It is interestingly the socialist America, which has wealth taxes if the form of property taxes on real estate, capital gains taxes on it.
I can still sell all my stock bought before 2009 without any capital gains tax, take that 🙂
LOL, but I gave it some serious thought, when they will break that promise, when I bought at Xmas 2008, being aware that this would probably be my last regular paycheck for a while 🙂
I did post the paper above more as a reference for all, that there are voices with some data, that the Euro is not the source of all evil for the periphery, and not in an expectation of a detailed, timely analysis from you, which would be nice to have, of course.

Q: Find empty cells of a DataTable except in certain column I'm working on a module to upload and validate an Excel file with the ExcelDataReader plugin.
The excel consists on 5 columns per row. I had converted the uploaded file in a DataTable, and now I need to validate there aren't empty or null cells except for the cells of the last column.
I have a snippet to find the nulls with linq, but it works for every column.
DataSet result = reader.AsDataSet();
DataTable excelTable = result.Tables[0];
var rowList = excelTable.AsEnumerable().Select(x => x.ItemArray).ToList();
var emptyCells = rowList.Select((value, index) => new { value, index })
.Where(x => x.value.Any(y => y == null || y == DBNull.Value))
.Select(x => x.index).ToList();
if(emptyCells.Any())
{
emptyCells.ForEach(x => {
data.Errors.Add(new ExcelError { Row = x, Details = "This row has empty cells." });
});
}
How can I exclude the last or an especific column of the DataTable? Thanks in advance!
A: You can use a .Where on the array of values to ignore a particular index:
.Where(x => x.value
.Where((y, idx) => idx != 3)
.Any(y => y == null || y == DBNull.Value)
)

REPORT OF PRESTES' STAY IN BERLIN FROM 27 NOVEMBER TO 1 DECEMBER
Detailed summary of Prestes' visit to Berlin and the GDR.
"Report of Prestes' Stay in Berlin from 27 November to 1 December," December 07, 1961, History and Public Policy Program Digital Archive, SAPMO-BArch, DY 20, IV 2/20/331. Obtained for CWIHP by Jim Hershberg and translated by Sean O'Grady. https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/121219

Subj.: Visit of Cde. Prestes in Berlin from evening of 27.Nov until the morning of 1.Dec
At the last visit of Cde. Sergio Holmos, Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Brazil, it was agreed that Central Committee members, during their trips to the Soviet Union, should always visit the ČSSR and GDR, because it is important for the Central Committee to at least inform the three Parties of these lands about the political situation in Brazil and to exchange experience.
For this reason, Cde. Prestes came to Berlin on his return trip from the 22nd Party Congress of the CPSU, wanting to study the situation here in Berlin and to acquaint himself with our measures and proposals for the solution of the West Berlin question. The reason for this was the intensified imperialist agitation against the GDR and against a peaceful solution to the West Berlin question, which was observable in the August events in Brazil.
Cde. Prestes had detailed conversations in Moscow with the entire secretariat of the Politburo of the CPSU, where Cde. Khrushchev was also present. He also had a further three-hour personal conversation with Cde. Khrushchev. At a two-day stay in Prague, he had a several hour conversation with Cde. [Antonin] Novotny. In Moscow, he conducted 20 meetings, including one at the Party College and others at similar institutions.
In Berlin he was received by Cde. Grueneberg on Monday evening [27 November 1961] at Ostbahnhof and brought to the Party guesthouse. On Tuesday morning he took part in an inspection of the anti-fascist protection wall. Prestes was accompanied by Gazzaneo, a journalist from the Brazilian party newspaper, who on Tuesday afternoon interviewed the representative of the Minister for Foreign Relations, Cde. Stab, during which time Cde. Prestes conversed with the bras. Cde. Alfredo Gerhardt, Isula Gerhardt, und Fausto Cupertino. In the evening, the Brazilian comrades visited the state opera. On Wednesday morning, we visited the memorial for socialists together with Cde. Mina Ewert, and afterwards the Trade Union College in Bernau, where Prestes spoke before the assembled students. In the afternoon, [Prestes] had a multi-hour conversation with Cde. [Peter] Florin [Director of the SED CC Department of International Relations], and Cde. [Deputy Foreign Minister Georg] Stibi. In the evening we visited the theater of the Berlin Ensemble, where "Frau Flinz" was performed. On this day he also gave a further television interview that was broadcast on Thursday evening. Thursday morning was occupied by conversations with Brazilian students, who had come to Berlin from Leipzig and Freiberg. Students from Berlin were also present at this session. On Thursday afternoon and evening Cde. Prestes visited Cde. Prof. Johann Lorenz Schmidt and the author Anna Seghers. Here again the August events were discussed in detail. Early Friday [1 December 1961] the Brazilian Comrades flew by LOT [Airlines] back to Brazil via Amsterdam - Paris.
In the conversation with Cde. Florin, Cde. Prestes requested that the books of Jorge Amado should, until further notice, not be published in the GDR and that new works from Jorge Amado should no longer be translated.
He named Cde. Helio Contreiras of Leipzig as responsible to the Brazilian Central Committee for the Brazilian students in the GDR, and Cde. Fausto Cupertino as the interim successor for Cde. Alfredo Gerhardt, who returns to Brazil on January 20th.
P.S. On Thursday at noon, a conversation with Cde. Kiefert and Selbmann of the Berlin district leadership took place. Here, the Berlin situation was substantially and thoroughly discussed. Comrade Gazzaneo also had a discussion with a member of the federal leadership of the FDGB [Free Federation of German Trade Unions] and a conversation with two former border crossers, who now work at EAW Treptow [VEB Electrical Equipment Factory, Berlin-Treptow].

A NEW funeral director has opened in Castlegate
Jason Price, a former Royal Navy gunner, who has worked for several funeral directors including the Co-op and Dignity, has painstakingly restored the Tudor-style Queen Victoria Nurses Home, between East Street and George Street.
He was inspired to enter the profession, following the death of his young nephew and realised how important getting everything right can be.
He said: "I have learned from several businesses in the industry and have taken the best from each."
The Queen Victoria Institute for Nurses was established in Grantham in 1901 and two years later the building was opened as a memory to the Queen; thanks largely to a fund launched by then Mayor Trynor Lynn.
Facilities included four bedrooms, a bathroom with wc plus more sleeping accommodation on the second floor.
The building cost £836 on top of the £42 paid for the land.

Q: how to locate element present on table on webpage using selenium How to get location of a particular column , how to get count of rows present on table
<TR>
<TD>Table Data</TD>
<TD>More Table Data</TD>
</TR>
<TD>More Table Data</TD>
<TD>Table Data</TD>
</TR>
consider above as a table structure
A: Are there any attributes that you can use to identify the table? Or will it require the index of the table elements? Can you provide example url/html?
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
table = soup.find("table", { "class" : class_name })
print len(table.findAll("tr"))
I typically find that using beautifulsoup / pandas dataframes easy for these types of problems.. example using wikipedia below:
import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2
car_data = pd.DataFrame()
model = 'Tesla_Model_S'
wiki = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{0}".format(model)
header = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}
req = urllib2.Request(wiki,headers=header)
page = urllib2.urlopen(req)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
table = soup.find("table", { "class" : "infobox hproduct" })
for row in table.findAll("tr")[2:]:
try:
field = row.findAll("th")[0].text.strip()
val = row.findAll("td")[0].text.strip()
car_data.set_value(model,field,val)
except:
pass
print car_data
A: In HTML code snippet for Table you can notice that table is mainly form by two tags.
TR and TD.
TR represents row in table and TD represents column in table.
Below are the simple code snippet which shows how to locate number of rows and columns present in table.
int Row_count = driver.findElements(By.xpath("/table/tbody/tr")).size();
System.out.println("Number Of Rows = "+Row_count);
Note: Xpath will vary always but tag /table/tbody/ will remain same in most cases.
int Col_count = driver.findElements(By.xpath("/table/tbody/tr[1]/td")).size();
System.out.println("Number Of Columns = "+Col_count);
**Note:***tr[1]/td* selects the first row in the table and gives all the columns present in the that table.
In the same manner you can easily fetch any web-element present in the web table by changing your Xpath Logic.

An Phoblacht Republican News, Iml. 1, Uimh. 38
Volume 1, Number 38
This copy of An Phoblacht/Republican News joins other editions in the Archive. This one from 1979 bridges the gap between the mid-1970s and the mid-1980s.
The front page article argues that:
'SURPRISING', 'SHOCKING' and 'EMBARRASSING' is how most of the Irish newspapers and political commentators described a survey which shows that 72% of people in the Free State are in favour of a unilateral British withdrawal, that 21% of the people are in support of I RA activities and '42°/o sympathise with their motives! The slavish mentality of the establishment was ex pressed best by the Irish Press which was worried about the consternation it would cause loyalists and that it would prejudice British opinion!
Another piece states:
THE IRA's ambush of two British soldiers in plain-clothes at the bottom of Belfast's Whiterock Road a week last Monday was a double success. Not only was it a technical military success in undoubtedly curbing the activities of Brit undercover men – one was killed and one seriously wounded – but also brought immediate political and propaganda pay-offs in encouraging 'troops out' sentiment in England.
There are many interesting pieces but of particular interest is one on the Left Press which looks at 'Irish Socialist', 'Starry Plough', 'Socialist Republic', 'Militant' and 'United Irishman'. It also looks at 'Comment' from the British and Irish Communist Organisation. Of this latter it says.
COMMENT is the fortnightly magazine of th British and Irish Communist Organisation (BICO) who are the main proponents of the two-nations theory. As the BICO support the British occupation of the north • a basis for the advance of Socialism, they have earned themselves the same sort of respect that is due to the Flat Earth Society.

did AP regularly do reviews on other leftwing groups publications back then?
By: WorldbyStorm Tue, 27 Dec 2022 10:15:00
In reply to entdinglichung.
Not that I've seen in copies I've read – I always got the impression they ignored a lot of the left – but others would probably have a better sense of it than me.
By: Colm B Tue, 27 Dec 2022 11:54:44
APRN occasionally did wee snippets on the WP/OIRAs shenanigans in the North…gossipy stuff on gangsterism etc. But that, I suspect, was just a hangover from the days of the feuds, when the Officials were still seen as significant rivals. Others on the left were indeed just ignored.
Funny thing is, back in the day, I always enjoyed reading those snippets, existing, as I did, in that peculiar state of suspension… knowing the accusations were probably true and feeling it was evidence that I was in a revolutionary party (cos it did illegal things!) but at the same time denying to all and sundry that these Provo smears were true but…. sort of simultaneously believing that they were just smears against the poor innocent members struggling for Peace and Progress in the North.
In reply to Colm B.
State of suspension. That's it precisely ColmB.
There's a psychological term for it but it doesn't run to me right now?
btw., when visiting the SF bookshop in Dublin 1993, I was rather impressed by the big variety of non-SF publications they were selling, was a kind of collector back then, got copies of the PD and Red Action papers and of LLB there

The problem was that the Provos knew the Stickies far too well.For a start ,families were split between the 2 outfits,up to and including Gerry Adams' family for example.Secondly defections from the Sticks to the Provos occured throughout the 70s , during and after the hunger strikes and even in the 90s.I was amazed to see people once connected to the Officials turn up at SF meetings during the heyday of the peace process and enthusiastically urging votes for Martin McGuinness.
True though in a way there were quite organic links to both those orgs at a bit of a remove.

Of all, it is essential that you understand the surveys of satisfaction degrees over buying a bed mattress has given comparable outcomes to those that bought them on-line and also offline by visiting a shop. Of all, the advantage of really getting to attempt on the cushion that you get when you visit a store is normally covered by thousands of individual examines one can find on the internet. If a thousand out of thousand individuals are saying that a cushion is comfortable, the opportunities are it is in truth comfy.
This "advantage" you think an offline shop has when getting a mattress is actually not that much of an advantage when you consider a couple of points. For an example, the example cushion that you are trying out in the shop has been tried on by lots of people before. Consequently, you will not get that comfy sensation with your all new cushion until after a few weeks when it is used for a while. This is why you have a far better chance at picking a comfy item by undergoing verified user reviews when you buy mattress online.
Since you understand getting a cushion online will certainly not make you regret at the end, allow's see the important things you can do it make your decision as far better as possible. To begin with, it is very important that you are plainly knowledgeable about the sort of product you are searching for. Everybody has their very own design of resting. There are bed mattress which are better for back sleepers than side sleepers. There are some which would treat someone with a tight back much better. Know exactly just what you are going with, then begin browsing for the mattress that would match all your needs. Or else, you are most likely to obtain distracted by all the options you will certainly see and wind up purchasing something that plainly does not match you, your requirements or your way of living.
As discussed over as well, one of the most significant advantages of online buying is the access to thousands of user reviews. There are uncommon chances that an item is a great deal far better compared to exactly what it has actually been described by the users, however many of the time if the evaluations are credible, it would provide you a fantastic understanding right into the experience of using the bed mattress that you can not obtain from anywhere else.
An additional issue when you buy mattress online is the cost. Generally, acquiring goods online had an extra cost for the delivery. There are several bed mattress business on the internet which would certainly arrange the delivery completely free. Take a while to try to find them. Otherwise, you would certainly be shedding your benefit of buying online. There are sales in the shops nearing seasonal times of the year. Aim to get huge items like mattresses on sale where often they provide up to 50% price cuts. Maintain an eye on voucher provides also. If you have a little perseverance to do some great excavating on online, you will most likely be able to get the most effective bed mattress for the very best rate possible.

Home / Education / Design Thinking: a new style of solving problems with a dose of empathy
Design Thinking: a new style of solving problems with a dose of empathy
Learn to solve problems at work and in life with Design Thinking and a liberal dose of empathy
Design Thinking has been around for centuries as a problem-solving framework but it's only in the last 5-10 years that the concept has gained ground as an alternative to a purely analytical approach to problem-solving.
Prasun Chaudhuri | | Published 19.11.18, 06:46 PM
Picture this. You work for a company in remote East Africa that sells treadle pumps used to irrigate small plots of land. After a few years, you notice that the pumps have been selling extremely well in some regions while they don't sell at all in other regions. You've been tasked by your boss to increase the sales figure in the low-sales regions.
What do you do? You think design and apply human-centred Design Thinking principles to sort out the problem. Design Thinking has been around for centuries as a problem-solving framework but it's only in the last 5-10 years that the concept has gained ground as an alternative to a purely analytical approach to problem-solving. In fact, it was the master artist of Italian Renaissance, Leonardo Da Vinci, who applied the concept of design in fields ranging from flying machines to anatomical studies.
Ashoke Chatterjee, former executive director of the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, believes Design Thinking is all about "imagining the future". "It brings together an interdisciplinary team to solve a problem or create something new," he says. According to him, British mechanical engineer L. Bruce Archer — who later became a professor of design research — was the modern proponent of the concept. "Archer designed an 'optimal hospital bed' for UK's National Health Services, which was adopted as the standard across the world," he elaborates.
How do you solve the treadle-pump sales puzzle with Design Thinking? Simple, you reach out to prospective buyers. You get into their shoes and find that sales are low because of how the pumps operate. You are supposed to stand on the pump and push a pedal to make it work. Now, most of those using the pumps are women and pushing the pedal makes them sway their hips in a way that is considered very immodest and is actually taboo in their society! "Once we realised the problem, the pump was redesigned, and adoption rates shot up," explained Melinda Gates, head of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, while explaining why the organisation takes Design Thinking so seriously, and how it's helped them achieve so much in different parts of the world.
The concept was summed up by business magnate and investor Steve Jobs, believed to have fuelled the modern design revolution as the CEO of Apple Inc: "Design is not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works."
Design is not just about a product, fashion, jewellery or home décor, points out Nidhi Goyal, associate dean, Anant National University, Ahmedabad. "You can apply the concept of design on any system, procedure or process. Design Thinking is a mindset to develop and deliver innovative ideas and solutions to complicated problems. It teaches you to think critically and develop creative problem-solving skills," she says.
Graphic: Sabyasachi Kundu
Goyal cites the example of Apple phones, the most sought-after designer product. "We love Apple products because of their minimalist design. For instance, the single-user button and the superb touch interface in iPhone. People are ready to spend a fortune to get one," she says. According to her, empathy is a key element of Design Thinking. "As a designer, you have to put yourself in the users' shoes. You have to think from the other person's perspective," she explains. Design Thinking emphasises the importance of deep exploration into the lives and problems of people. That is the reason sales representatives in East Africa had to delve into the life of women farmers to find a solution.
Empathy requires us to put aside our learning, culture, knowledge, opinions and worldview purposefully, in order to understand other peoples' experiences of things deeply and meaningfully. It requires humility, because we also have to abandon our preconceived ideas and biases. It requires that we have a heightened awareness of other peoples' needs, wants, motivations and goals.
Amit Sheth, professor at Anant National University, believes India needs Design Thinking in every aspect of life. "We have to think original and question existing things. This can be included in planning towns, designing bridges and urban infrastructure," he says. He rues the fact that India's urban planners hardly use this concept. "When Mumbai's suburban train network or Calcutta's Metro Railway were planned, no one had thought that these cities will expand and explode with people in a few decades. Poor design leads to at least several deaths in suburban trains in Mumbai and frequent snags in the underground railway system in Calcutta," he explains.
Sheth cites Netherlands as a country that has taken Design Thinking seriously — in politics, development, urban planning and in multiple spheres and across diverse platforms. "No decision or policy is implemented by the Dutch unless it is approved by a design body. It can be a housing, a road network or a healthcare project," he says
Anant National University — that focuses on the fields of Architecture, Interior Design and Urban Planning — has introduced bachelor's and master's courses to teach students Design Thinking. Its course on Interaction Design trains students to design and develop interactive digital products, environments, systems and services required to solve contemporary challenges. "Above all, we try to awaken empathy, an innate quality in students, so that they can be good designers and problem-solvers in diverse fields," says Goyal.
Go ahead and put yourself in another's shoes to solve problems.

I must admit to never having seen the great British bake off, but I might get hooked on the big allotment challenge. The contestants seem like a thoroughly nice bunch, but I'd be surprised if there's not a battle of the beans as we get more into it. The challengers had only had their allotments for 13 weeks and they were allowed to bring their own soil improvers. The large range of crops they grew was impressive.
1. Grow three uniform radishes – Well I'm glad I'm not the only person who's ever had problems growing a radish. I won't spoil the surprise for those who want to catch it later, but there were tears !
2. The next challenge was to provide 7 perfect long stemmed sweet peas and to make a hand tied bouquet using even more sweet peas. I've never been a huge flower fan, but I'm keen to set aside a little patch for cut flowers.
3. The final challenge was to make a jam and a curd, using their home grown produce. There were some surprising combinations. Someone tried to make tomato jam, which wasn't a great success and the use of cornflower to thicken the curd was a definite no no. The rhubarb and custard curd looked yummy and apparently a few crushed coriander seeds will really bring out the taste of blueberries.
As with all these shows someone had to go, and I was a little sad, as I rather liked them. They were obviously gutted to be leaving, and there were more tears on the way !

St. Andrew's routs Oxbridge Academy in rematch of last year's playoff clash
By Adam Lichtenstein
Jan 14, 2020 | 9:02 PM
| WEST PALM BEACH

The last time St. Andrew's faced Oxbridge Academy, it handed the ThunderWolves their first loss in an eight-point regional-semifinal victory last season.
Tuesday's game was not as hotly contested.
The Scots (12-4) cruised to a dominant 83-21 victory over the ThunderWolves (1-14) in West Palm Beach, controlling the game from the opening tip.
"[We are] a very talented team; it's a talented team," St. Andrew's coach John O'Connell said. "I don't think we've played to the best of our ability yet this year, but there's certainly a lot of talent there. The schedule has been tough night in and night out. It's just been very tough. It's kind of nice to get a little bit of a breather.
"I know [Oxbridge Academy coach] Antwan Harrington is going to bring this program back. But they're young right now."

St. Andrew's dominance was thorough enough that the Scots got a running clock and took out many of their starters in the third quarter.
Six different St. Andrew's players reached double digits in the points column.
Junior guard Andrew Klimek led the Scots with 15 points. Fab Five picks Yussif Basa-ama and Joshua Minott had 12 and 11 points, respectively. Basa-ama had 6 rebounds, while Minott had 3.

Junior Tyler Zankl had 13 points, while junior Devin Hines had 12 and junior Kenny Turner had 10 points.
"To be able to have a great group of guys, very talented group of guys around me, it makes my job easy," Basa-ama said.
Although St. Andrew's beat Oxbridge last year, they fell in the next round to Tampa Catholic. Basa-ama said he and the rest of his team are determined to get to states this season.
"That is the goal, to get to Lakeland," Basa-ama said. "Last year, we were so close but we lost in the regional finals. I still feel that hurt, to get that close and end up losing. So this year, we're not going to let that happen again."

What a year it's been. I was asked over the holidays for my thoughts on how strong the films have been in this year and whether it will be a good Oscars year. It's an interesting question — there are always incredible, fantastic, original films. But I don't yet have a standout favorite, one that supersedes all the rest (for me, last year, Arrival was the one that stuck).
That doesn't necessarily mean it's a weaker year — but I do feel like perhaps this awards season isn't as strong. Maybe this could be attributed to the pull of focus and attention due to the massive change currently ongoing in the industry in the wake of sexual harassment and abuse scandals. Viewing movies through those hyper-focused lens could certainly influence perceptions and feelings towards certain projects that perhaps in other years might not have been so heavily scrutinized. It's a good change, I think, and a necessary one for the industry. But who knows — it may be a factor to my feeling that this year hasn't quite lived up to others.
I'll watch pretty much anything with Jessica Chastain and Aaron Sorkin has long been one of my faves so this movie was high on my list. It was another fascinating female-centric story that I knew basically zero about going in (I, Tonya of course being the other). It's a long movie, and that might be my only critique. It could have used with a bit more editing to tighten the lags and let the story breathe. But overall, it was such a fun movie to watch and I was captivated from the start. The dialogue, as expected, was sharp and quick — and Jessica Chastain did a great job keeping up (no easy feat with Sorkin). It may just get a screenplay nod but it is definitely still worth watching. Also Idris Elba. Enough said.
Put me firmly in the camp of fans who absolutely LOVED the direction this film took and is 100% on board with the pivot from a sole focus on Skywalkers to a more universal take on the Force. I do feel like this movie was what the franchise needed to break away from the usual format of the Star Wars movies (I loved The Force Awakens but it wasn't exactly unpredictable). It breaks my heart that this trilogy was so clearly set up to focus on the big three — The Force Awakens for Han Solo, The Last Jedi for Luke, and the final one Leia. But I'm looking forward to how the franchise will address that and wrap everything up with the final (??) installment.
Salma Hayek is brilliant in this under-the-radar film about a massage therapist and holistic healer who ends up staying for dinner at a client's house when her car breaks down. Connie Britton, John Lithgow, and Jay Duplass round out the stellar cast directed by Puerto Rican director Miguel Arteta. This has been on my list for a year since it premiered at Sundance, and I'm glad I finally was able to watch it. The screenplay nails the dialogue so often seen between affluent White "allies" to POCs and immigrants and how delicate that balance can be. It's a slow-burn but I enjoyed watching the build-up — for anyone seeking more films starring and created by Latinos, this one should definitely be on the list.
Whatever I was expecting from this movie, it definitely wasn't this. They were not lying or exaggerating when they said there is a 5-minute single-take, unedited scene of Rooney Mara doing nothing but eating pie on the kitchen floor. It's a quiet, intimate, deeply reflective film — almost no dialogue and carried solely on the emotional human connection of life's existential questions. This is the kind of film I would not recommend to everyone, but to those who would appreciate the intention and feeling behind it will no doubt be just as moved.
It literally took about ten minutes into this film to realize why Tiffany Haddish is getting so much attention and awards buzz and not that much longer to be fully on board and behind the push. And listen if Melissa McCarthy can get an Oscar nomination for her role in Bridesmaids there is literally no reason why she shouldn't either. The movie is a great raunchy girls' night movie — not my absolute fave (I do really love Bridesmaids) but a super fun and silly and ridiculous and funny movie nonetheless.
I'll wrap this up with a few thoughts on how the race is looking this side of the Globes — which again, don't actually mean much but as voting began that same weekend and continues through last week it would be naive to think it won't have some sort of impact. We'll have a better sense in the next couple of weeks after SAG on the 21st and then nominations on the 23rd (ahhhhhhhhhhhhh).
The Globes as always were a delightful mix of predictable and shocking. Focusing solely on the film side for the purposes of this post — Three Billboards got ALL the love while Get Out, Call Me By Your Name, and The Post were all but ignored. Don't expect that to repeat on Oscars night. While Lady Bird snagged wins for Best Picture (Musical/Comedy) and Best Actress for my personal fave Saoirse Ronan, director Greta Gerwig was conspicuously absent from the Best Director nominations. What with the current climate in Hollywood, the Academy would do well to rectify that with an honor.
I still find it too early to make any sort of predictions. As I said above, it is by no means a weak year — just an interesting one. I have my list of absolute favorites (Lady Bird, Get Out, Coco, and Call Me By Your Name among them). Perhaps the standout will emerge more slowly this year. And hey I still have lots more to get through!
So brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen — the race is on. Until next time, happy watching!

I will be going back home to New York when the residency ends. My plan is to find a job and save up to go to Hong Kong for a while. I'm also considering looking for work there. I will continue making art at home and fire elsewhere. Regarding possible ceramics related jobs, I've emailed a couple of places, but haven't heard back yet.

What is the difference between individual and group policies?
Most life, health and disability policies may be written either on an individual or group basis. Individual policies are underwritten with respect to the individual being covered and are not obtained in the employment setting. Group policies are not individually underwritten and are typically provided to employees in the employment setting by employers or unions. Another important distinction between individual and group policies is that enrollment and claims for benefits under group policies are often administered by a third party administrator ("TPA") rather than by the insurer. For example, in an employee group policy, the employer is often the plan administrator, responsible for enrolling new members and for submitting claims on their behalf for policy benefits. Insurance companies typically act as claim administrators. Whether a policy is an individual or group policy can make major differences in an insureds legal rights. It is therefore critical to evaluate what law applies to a policy.
What are Managed Care Organizations ("MCOs")?
Under California law, MCOs are called "health care service plans" and are more commonly referred to as HMOs, PPOs, and POSs. The Department of Managed Health Care has jurisdiction over these types of policies. The Department of Insurance regulates all other types of policies.
What are the grievance procedures for MCOs?
MCOs are required to maintain grievance procedures approved by the Department of Managed Health Care. They are required to resolve grievances within 30 days or explain in writing the reasons for any delay or denial of health care services. The grievance procedure is voluntary and in addition to any other available remedy provided by law. However, utilization of independent administrative review is a condition to an MCO's statutory liability under Civ. Code § 3428. Insurers are required to provide an "independent medical review" if the claim denial involves a determination whether a service is medically necessary. If a dispute is not subject to independent medical review, the Department of Managed Health Care may order the plan to promptly offer and provide covered benefits or order reimbursement by the plan.
What are common disputes with health insurers?
Medical Necessity: Many policies have limitations for "reasonable and medically necessary" expenses. What is "medically reasonable and necessary" care is often disputed. A frequent issue is whether the insurer is bound by the treating physician's determination that treatment was "medically necessary." If the policy itself does not clearly address this issue, insureds usually argue that the uncertainty should be resolved in favor of coverage and the insurer must pay for whatever treatment is ordered by the treating physician. Utilizing an overly-restrictive standard of "medical necessity" may constitute "bad faith" by the insurer. If a group policy is provided by an employer and is governed by ERISA, such plans usually confer discretion on the plan's medical administrator to determine what treatment is "medically necessary." Such decisions may be upheld so long as it is not an abuse of discretion. An attending physician's opinion that a treatment is "medically necessary" is persuasive but not determinative. See Dowden v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Texas, Inc., 126 F.3d 641, 644 (5th Cir. 1997) (applying ERISA).
"Usual and Customary" Medical Expenses: Insurers may deny a health claim because the procedure is not "usual and customary." Courts are likely to side with insureds as to what fees are "usual and customary" in order not to interfere with the insureds' access to physicians of their choice. Courts are not likely to sympathize with an insurer's objections to the amount of fees after an insured has already incurred the debt without notice from the insurance company as to what amounts would be accepted as "usual and customary." Before suing an insurer for medical benefits which the insurer has denied as medically unnecessary, the insured must exhaust the "independent medical review system" established by the Department of Insurance and Department of Managed Health Care. "Coverage decisions" are not subject to such review (the approval or denial of health care services substantially based on a finding that the provision of a particular service is included or excluded as a covered benefit under the terms of the insurance contract.).
Preexisting Conditions: Individual health policies are normally designed to cover only losses due to illness contracted and commenced while the policy is in force. Various types of provisions are therefore used to avoid coverage for preexisting health conditions. These provisions are strictly construed against the insurer and in favor of the insured. However, group health insurance policies and managed care plans limit the scope and length of exclusions for preexisting conditions.
Experimental or Investigative Treatment: Many health insurance policies exclude coverage for treatments or procedures that are "experimental or investigational." Whether and to what extend a treatment or procedure is "experimental or investigational" is fact intensive and often requires expert testimony.
When is a health insurer required to make a decision on a claim?
An insurer is required within 30 working days to pay a covered health insurance claim or send written notice to the insured (and to the health care provider that provided the services at issue) that the claim is contested or denied, stating the factual and/or legal basis for its action. Interest accrues at the rate of 10% per annum on claims not paid or contested within the 30–working-day period. Ins. Code. §§ 10123.13, 10123.147.
Can a health insurer rescind a policy?
False statements made by the insured in applying for health insurance do not entitle the insurer to rescind "unless such false statement was made with actual intent to deceive or unless it materially affected either the acceptance of the risk or the hazard assumed by the insurer." Ins. Code. § 10380. The insured is not bound by any statement made in an application for disability insurance unless a copy of such application is attached to or endorsed on the policy. Health insurers are prohibited from engaging in "postclaim underwriting," defined as "rescinding, canceling or limiting of a plan contract due to the plan's failure to complete medical underwriting and resolve all reasonable questions arising from written information submitted on or with an application before issuing the plan contract." Health & Saf. Code § 1389.3.

This is a randomized, double-blind, sequential, dose-escalation, Phase 1 trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of verdinexor. Verdinexor or placebo will be given on days 1 and 3 to healthy adult subjects.
Cohorts of 8 subjects each (6 active, 2 placebo) will be sequentially administered verdinexor or placebo (one dose on Day 1 and one dose on Day 3) using a dose-escalation scheme. A conservative, sequential, dose-escalation strategy employing decreasing escalation increments will be used.
Safety and tolerability will be evaluated through treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), physical examinations, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), supportive care medications, and changes in laboratory parameters (chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis).
Subjects must be in good health as determined by the investigator, based on the medical history, ECG, physical examination, and safety laboratory tests at screening.
Subjects must be identified as a non-smoker at the screening visit (a non-smoker is defined as an individual who has abstained from smoking for at least 1 year prior to the screening visit and who has a ≤ 15 pack year history of lifetime cigarette use). A urine cotinine test will be performed at screening and at the time of clinic check-in prior to study drug treatment.
The subject has any surgical or medical condition that potentially may alter the absorption, metabolism, or excretion of the study drug such as gastrectomy, Crohn's disease, or liver disease.
The subject has a history of clinically significant allergies. Hay fever is allowed unless it is active or has required treatment within the previous 2 months.
Presence of a chronic condition(s) with clinical or historical evidence of recent exacerbation, or other information to suggest non-control of such condition(s).
History of alcohol abuse or drug addiction within 12 months of the screening visit.
Any subject with active cataracts or medical history of cataracts.

Q: Query Select in SQL postgres We need help to use a command in "SELECT" to return the following information from a bank in PostgreSQL.
"Terminals that had 10 or more occurrences, within 1 hour, with the same user, service, and terminal".
We have the table TB_TRANSACOES:
Id bigserial NOT NULL,
Dh_transaction timestamp NOT NULL,
Nu_account bigint NOT NULL,
Nu_value bigint NOT NULL,
Co_terminal character varying NOT NULL,
Co_service character varying NOT NULL,
Co_user character varying NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT tb_transacoes_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
We have only this part:
SELECT * FROM TB_TRANSACOES WHERE CO_TERMINAL >= 10
I'll be grateful.
A: All the records with NumberOfTransactions > 10 should be what you want
SELECT
Co_terminal
, Co_service
,Co_user
, COUNT(1) AS NumberOfTransactions
FROM YOUR table
Group by
Co_terminal
, Co_service
,Co_user
,DATEPART(YEAR, Dh_transaction )
,DATEPART(Month, Dh_transaction )
,DATEPART(Day, Dh_transaction )
,DATEPART(Hour, Dh_transaction )
A: You can do this using lag():
select distinct co_terminal
from (select t.*,
lag(dh_transaction, 9) over (partition by co_terminal, co_service, co_user
order by dh_transaction
) as dh_transaction_9
from TB_TRANSACOES t
) t
where dt_transaction_9 >= dh_transaction - interval '1 hour';
This gets the 9th transaction in history. If it is within an hour, then we have 10 transactions within an hour.
A: Would the code look like this then?
SELECT
Co_terminal
, Co_service
,Co_user
, COUNT(1) AS NumberOfTransactions
FROM YOUR table
Group by
Co_terminal
, Co_service
,Co_user
,DATEPART(YEAR, Dh_transaction )

View from the Gatehouse: Lumps, Bumps, Bodies and... Bunnies!
Lumps, Bumps, Bodies and... Bunnies!
South of the Hall, and sitting along-side the main drive, is a peculiarity of the Hall - known affectionately as The Lumps and Bumps Field. It is Scheduled as an Ancient Monument, along with the land that the Hall sits upon and all the land within the Park Pale.
To the south of the current farm buildings, which lie to the immediate south of the moat, are the substantial earthwork remains of the service buildings for the medieval complex. These buildings lay within an outer court and include well defined remains of at least four buildings laying either side of a later field wall. The remains survive up to 0.5m high and include a building platform 10m by 5m surrounded by a shallow gulley some 1.5m wide. To the east of these remains are two substantial earthen banks 5m apart and up to 0.5m high which extend east for 70m then turn to extend south for 100m, and which are interpreted as the sides of a track way. The curtain wall which surrounded the outer court survives as a prominent bank along the western side of a track extending south west from the farm buildings. To the west of this wall, outside the outer court, are remains of ridge and furrow cultivation. The southern and eastern sides of the outer court are defined by the park pale but the location of the boundary on the north side is currently unknown.
A park pale was the boundary around an area of land often set aside and equiped for the management and hunting of deer and other animals although farming also took place. They were generally located around or adjacent to a manor house, castle or palace. Parks could contain a number of features, including hunting lodges, a park keepers house, rabbit warrens, and enclosures for game. They were usually surrounded by a park pale, a fenced, hedged or walled boundary often on a massive bank with an internal ditch. The peak period for the laying out of parks, between AD 1200 and 1350, coincided with a time of considerable prosperity amongst the nobility. Parks were established in virtually every county in England and were a long lived and widespread monument type. Today they serve to illustrate an important aspect of the activities of medieval nobility and still exert a powerful influence on the pattern of the modern landscape. Where a park pale survives well, and is well documented or associated with other significant remains they are normally identified as nationally important. The medieval fortified house complex at Markenfield Hall survives well. The full extent of the outer court is known and earthwork remains of its enclosing wall and buildings are preserved. The associated park pale also survives well and is unusually complete. Taken together the remains demonstrate a rare survival, offering important scope for understanding the nature and functions of a medieval complex and its impact on the wider economy and landscape.
This belief was changed briefly back in 2011 when Historical Dowsers worked their way across the Courtyard, the Car Park, the One Acre Paddock and the Lumps and Bumps Field to try and identify what historical archaeological secrets could be hidden under the surface. They identified the outlines of numerous buildings within the Courtyard, and it was truly fascinating to see the outlines of buildings from days gone by begin to take shape in front of your eyes.
When the Dowsers got to the Lumps and Bumps Field however they did not find the anticipated mediaeval village - instead they identified three plague burial pits. Not exactly the "View from the Gatehouse" that a girl wants each day!!!
Then, not a year later, we were privileged to welcome historical writer Richard Almond to the Hall. He was speaking for The Friends on the subject of the Park Pale and mediaeval hunting in general. He identified the Lumps and Bumps as rabbit warrens.
His explanation being that when rabbits were first imported to this country, they were above-ground animals used to a hot climate and that in order to survive they had to be "taught" to live underground away from snow, wind and rain. Thus it was that artificial rabbit warrens were built consisting of stone tunnels and chambers; and this is what we have here at the Hall.
I was lucky enough to meet The Muddy Archaeologist (otherwise known as Gillian Hovell) at the Ripon Local and Familiy History Fair last week and plans are under way for her to come and look at our Lumps and Bumps with a view, not only to providing a definitive answer, but to put on a lecture (or two..) about the Hall and its archaeology based on her extensive knowledge of landscape archaeology. Muddy Markenfield... it has a ring to it!

Ron Paul: US Elections Are Rigged Voting Simply Used to Pacify the Public
Saturday, April 16, 2016 | Subject: Ron Paul | Category: gov
Dr. Ron Paul says the American electoral system is rigged to keep "independent thinkers" from succeeding.
"I see elections as so much of a charade," the former Texas congressman said during an April 11 appearance on RT America's "The Fishtank." "So much deceit goes on."
Paul is no stranger to the twisted rules of the American presidential horse race. He ran for the highest office as a Libertarian in 1988, and in 2008 and 2012 as a Republican.
He arguably came closest to the nomination in 2012, when the GOP amended its party regulations to prevent the former Texas representative from stealing Mitt Romney's thunder.
Rule 40(b) of "The Rules of the Republican Party" was changed so the Republican National Committee could "limit the visibility and power of libertarian-minded Texas Rep. Ron Paul at the convention and thus present a unified front behind Mitt Romney, the presumptive nominee," according to David Byler, an elections analyst at RealClearPolitics.
The rule requires that, in order to win the nomination, a candidate must have the support of a majority of delegates from eight states.
Although recent wins have tipped Sen. Ted Cruz past the cut off, the rule as written came close to helping Trump take the nomination. Paul warned that the GOP's machinations to block Donald Trump are a sign of a corrupt, undemocratic system.
"I've worked on the assumption … for many, many decades, that whether there's a Republican or a Democrat president, the people who want to keep the status quo seems to have their finger in the pot and can control things," he said in the interview.
"They just get so nervous, though, if they have an independent thinker out there — whether it's Sanders, or Trump or Ron Paul, they're going to be very desperate to try to change things."
Paul had nothing but scorn for Trump's policies: "He's offering us nothing new, and he's going backward in many ways."
He suggested that the 2016 election is "a lot more entertainment than anything else" because none of the candidates "have answers" to modern political problems.
Even so, Paul interprets the success of these outsider candidates as a sign that "more people are discovering that the system is all rigged and voting is just pacification for the voters and it really doesn't count."
"I don't think there's an easy way out for the establishment or the parties," he noted, explaining that Democrats and Republicans would both rather risk "further alienation of the people" than allow a candidate to succeed who could shake up the system.
Paul recalled his own 2012 encounter with Rule 40(b) as an important political lesson for both himself and the American people.
"I was upset about it but didn't want to waste too much energy being angry because this is the way the system works," he said. "It's a rotten system."

A Brief History of Towns Settled in the Merrimack ...
9/11/2011 - Tenth Anniversary
A Brief History of Towns Settled in the Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire
Massachusetts Settlements in the Merrimack Valley
In 1634, the Great and General Court of Massachusetts set aside a portion of land in what is now Essex County for an inland plantation, including parts of what now is Andover. The first permanent settlement in the Andover area was established in 1641 by John Woodbridge and a group of settlers from Newbury and Ipswich.
Settled around 1636, Andover was known as Cochichewick. It was renamed Andover and incorporated in 1646. In 1709, it was separated into two parishes, Andover and North Andover. In 1855, these became two separate towns.
The Eames family founded the town of Boxford, naming it after a town in the United Kingdom. Although it was originally settled in 1646, it wasn't incorporated until 1685.
Boxford was first settled in 1646 as part of Rowley Village by Abraham Redington. When it was officially incorporated in 1685, about forty families resided in Boxford.
Farming was the primary occupation of the early settlers although craftsmen were also found among the townspeople. The largest industry in Boxford was the match factory (located on Lawrence Road) which operated from 1866 to 1905.
The original building of the First Church was built in 1701 in East Boxford Village. As the population of West Boxford expanded, the legislature designated this section as precinct 2 in 1735. Town meetings alternated between East and West parishes. The first West Boxford church building was erected in 1774.
Georgetown was incorporated in 1838 but its birth was 200 years before when a small group of Yorkshire families led by Rev. Ezekial Rogers set sail in 1638 from Rowley, England for Salem, Massachusetts on the ship "John". Mr. Rogers and his party of about 100 men, women and children, having arrived late in the year, remained in Salem for the winter living in common houses.
In the spring of 1639, the group, now numbering over 200 individuals, purchased a tract of land between the villages of Newbury and Ipswich and named their plantation Rowley. This territory included the present day towns of Rowley, Georgetown, Groveland, Byfield and Boxford. Working together they erected shelters and prepared for the coming winter. They lived in common houses for about three years until they were able to help each family erect their own humble dwellings.
The community thrived and after a few years these settlers began to explore the rest of their plantation that extended to the Merrimac River. From the vantage point of Prospect Hill, named in anticipation of what lay to the west, they saw another hill, bare at its summit and surrounded with trees below. The image suggested a bald pate and today is still known as Baldpate Hill. It is the highest point in the county, and on clear days one could see the ocean from this Georgetown hilltop.
Groveland was originally a part of the towns of Rowley and Bradford. It wasn't until September 9, 1850, that it became a separate town. In the 20th century Groveland changed from a shoe industry and textile manufacturing community to one that is almost wholly residential.
The Indian name for this locality was Pentucket. It was named Haverhill by the Reverend John Ward, first minister, who had come from Haverhill, England. Haverhill was founded in 1640 by twelve English Puritans from Ipswich, Massachusetts and Newbury, Massachusetts as a frontier settlement. Mr. Ward and the Newberry men petitioned the General Court on May 13, 1640 for permission to begin a new plantation on the Merrimack River. Permission was granted provided they build before the next Courte. Though the town was settled and houses erected in 1640 it was not until November 15, 1642 that a title to the land was purchased from the Indian owners consisting of Pentucket, Passaquo and Saggahew Tribes with the consent of Passaconway who signed for the tribe. The settlers purchased the land for 3 pounds and 10 shillings.
Settled as farmland Haverhill evolved into a major industrial center through the establishment of saw and grist mills in the 17th century.
Europeans first settled the area in 1640. The site of the city – formerly parts of Andover and Methuen - was purchased in 1845 by a group of Boston industrialists headed by the wealthy merchant and congressman Abbott Lawrence, the community's namesake. The city was incorporated in 1853.
The industrialists, most prominently Lawrence, established textile mills near sources of abundant waterpower. Lawrence's location on the Merrimack River, just downriver of Lowell and a short train ride from Boston was an ideal location to set up an industrial center. The Merrimack River was dammed right above the city, and a canal was dug on both the north and the south banks to provide power to the factories that would soon be built on its banks.
Merrimac was first settled in 1638 and was a part of the town of Amesbury starting in 1666. When it was incorporated in 1876, he riverside portion of the area was called Merrimacport. It is believed that both the town and the river that runs along its southren border are named for the American Indian tribe that occupied the regions. "Merrimac" means "swift water place" in the language of this tribe.
At the time of the earliest white settlers in this area, what is now Methuen was a part of Haverhill. This area extended north of the Merrimack River, westward to Dracut. Friendly Penacook Indians used the banks of the Merrimack and Spicket Rivers to hunt and fish from 1666 to 1683 and about this time residents of Haverhill and Andover settled in the eastern and southern parts of this territory that would one day be Methuen.
Years later in 1723, Methuen settlers such as Joshua Swan, petitioned Haverhill for land but were refused. The settlers then sought to incorporate as a town and petitioned the General Court for their own separate charter. In December 1725, the charter was granted and Governor Dummer named the town Methuen, the only town so named in the world. The town was named after Lord Methuen, an English official of Pre-Revolutionary days and a friend of Governor Dummer.
n 1634, the Great and General Court of Massachusetts reserved the land around Lake Cochichewick for an inland plantation. This included what is now Andover, North Andover and South Lawrence. Early colonists were offered three years' immunity from taxes, levies and services, except military service, as inducements to settle in the Andover area. A group of Newbury and Ipswich residents, led by a man named John Woodbridge, established the first permanent settlement in the Andover and North Andover area in 1641.
Shortly after they arrived, the local Pennacook tribal chief Cutshamache sold a parcel of land that included what is now Andover to Woodbridge and his followers. The price was "six pounds of currency and a coat" and permission for Roger, a local Pennacook man, to plant his corn and take alewives from the brook. A small brook, named in his honor, still meanders its way through the eastern part of town.
This notable bargain is commemorated in Andover's official seal, which can be seen on all official town stationery and is displayed in a tile mosaic on the lobby floor of the Old Town Hall on Main Street. The settlement was incorporated as a town in May of 1646 and was named Andover, most likely after Andover, England, which was near the original home of some of the first residents. The first recorded town meeting was held in settler John Osgood's home in 1656.
Atkinson has a rich history, dating back before the American Revolution. The town was part of a tract of land purchased from the Indians by settlers of Haverhill, Massachusetts on November 15, 1642. The first settlements were made in 1728 by Benjamin Richards of Rochester and Johathan and Edmund Page and John Dow of Haverhill.
Incorporated in 1722, Chester once included Candia and was set off in 1763. First called "the chestnut country," it may have been the first of the settlement grants by Massachusetts selected for expansion of growing populations in the seacoast. The name may be derived from Cheshire, Chester being the county seat of Cheshire in England. Earl of Chester is a title held by the Prince of Wales. Daniel Chester French, sculptor of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., was a summer resident and took Chester as his middle name because of his love for the town.
The towns of Auburn, Candia, Derryfield (renamed Manchester), Hooksett, and Raymond were later formed from Chester's original 100 square mile grant.
Danville was originally one of several parishes of Kingston which was first settled in 1694. It was chartered in 1760 as Hawke, after Admiral Sir Edward Hawke. Never a popular name, the town was incorporated as Danville in 1836.
The Hawke Meeting House is the oldest origiinal construction meeting house still standing in New Hampshire. Construction of the meeting house began in 1754 and was used for religious services until 1887. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Although Derry, New Hampshire was first settled by Scottish-Irish families in 1719, Derry was not incorporated until 1827. It was for a long time part of Londonderry, which included Windham and portions of Manchester, Salem and Hudson.
The town was named for the city of Derry, Northern Ireland, the Irish word "Doire" meaning "oak woods." The first potato planted in the United States was planted here in 1719.
Once part of Haverhill and Amesbury, Massachusetts settled in 1640, this town was formed as a result of the 1739 change in boundary lines between Massachusetts and the new province of New Hampshire. It was originally known as "Timberlane Parish" because of the heavy growth of native trees. The town would be incorporated in 1749 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth, who renamed it after Hampstead, England, the residence of William Pitt, a close friend.
Hampstead's Main Street is lined with antique homes. The town was a popular summer camp location.
The immigrants who settled the Town of Londonderry, New Hampshire, were descendants of a colony migrating from Scotland to Northern Ireland (Ulster) about 1612. A large number of these Scotch-Irish settlers left their homes in Londonderry, Ireland, and arrived in Boston in 1718 to start a new life without religious wars and persecution. Of the five shiploads of people under the guidance of Rev. James MacGregor, one group remained in Boston, one group settled in Dracut and Andover and a third group ventured north to what is now Portland, Maine. A harsh winter and low provisions forced the third group to retreat south to Haverhill, Massachusetts, where they heard of a twelve square mile area "abound with nut trees". Sixteen families left Haverhill for Nutfield in 1719 and on June 21, 1722, established a charter for the Township of Londonderry. Later, several portions of the Town were subdivided into parishes and other towns.
Nutfield was the first inland settlement in the Merrimack Valley and originally included what are now the city of Manchester and the towns of Hudson, Windham, Salem and Derry (the oak grove). In 1741 a section was lost on the southern boundary to form Windham and Hudson; Derryfield (later named Manchester) was incorporated in 1751 and Derry became a separate town in 1828.
Pelham was split from Old Dunstable in 1741, when the border between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was settled. It was incorporated in 1746. The town is named after Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle.
Before being incorporated in 1746, Pelham had been part of Nottingham, Massachusetts to the west and Dracut, Massachussets to the east. Due to the prolonged boundary line dispute between Massachusetts and New Hampshire, the settlement of Pelham occurred very slowly over time.
Plaistow was originally part of the 1642 land purchase that was Haverhill, Massachusetts. However, when the New Hampshire - Massachusetts boundary was established in 1741, it became part of the Haverhilll district.
It was officially established as a town in 1749 after a boundary dispute between the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the New Hampshire Grants. It is the only town outside the United Kingdom with the name Plaistow. In 1776 the western part of Plaistow became a separate town, Atkinson.
The area was first settled in 1652. As early as 1736, Salem was the "North Parish" of Methuen, Massachusetts, or "Methuen District." In 1741, when the boundary line between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was re-established, the "North Parish" became part of New Hampshire, and was given the name "Salem," taken from nearby Salem, Massachusetts. It was incorporated in 1750 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth.
This territory was part of the original Kingston grant of 1694. As the western portin of Kingston became more heavily populated, residents felt that they could support a meetinghouse of their own, and petitioned Governor Benning Wentworth for separation.
Sandown was incorporated as a separate town in 1756 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth. It was named for picturesque Sandown on the Isle of Wight. The first minister of Sandown, Reverend Joseph Cotton, built the Sandown Meeting House in 1774. It had an 11 foot high pulpit and marble columns supporting the gallery, and is still an excellent example of early New England church architecture. In fact, the meetinghouse is said to be the finest of its type in New Hampshire, with outstanding craftsmanship and architectural details.

A very nice summary of the towns in the area. I'm bookmarking this post for reference! It will come in handy more than once or twice...
I often think about all of these places and then thought I should blog about them. Thanks for your post.

She never had a clue what the implications of her actions were, which is to say she was a pure ideologue. And it makes no difference whether they are right or left. Stalin is what has given socialism (including Sweden) a perverse meaning these days to otherwise reasonable Americans. Edith certainly didn't help those of us who are Social Democrats on that score. After the Cambridge Five, I can't imagine that American intelligence would ever consider the MI5 trustworthy again.
So now we need to rise up from the ashes. Preferably without the Stalin/Castro/Mao nonsense. (A hint: ideologues -- across the spectrum -- are idiots).

5.0 out of 5 starsGood but not Great!
Bought this for my first Grandchild, its lovely but I would have thought for the price it would have been already assembled. A little bit expensive.
One very delighted grand-daughter. The bookcase is of quality materials, easy to construct and SO pretty. Ideal for a little girl's bedroom.
What a beautiful...very useful bookcase.
Beautiful bookcase for my daughter.
This is lovely , I love it !
Pretty bookcase, I thought the print on it would be stickers but it is painted on. Very good quality. Can be used for a dolls house too. Very pleased with this.

A few weeks ago it was a more or less vacant lot, but with a bit of an investment and a lot of hard work Gaylene Kellar has transformed the property into the 506 Yard & Garden Centre - a full service garden and landscaping centre with trees, landscaping materials, and varieties of flagstone lying out in a large yard; a large greenhouse chock full of annual and perennial bedding plants for vegetable and flower gardens; and plans for a pick-your-own organic garden moving forward quickly.
"I started on April 1, and at first I thought I would get ready for next year, but then I decided to push and try to open before Victoria Day Weekend," said Gaylene when interviewed earlier this week on a cold and rainy day.
For Gaylene Kellar the new business is a chance to move back home, and an opportunity to make a career change. She has been working as a nurse, but she prefers working out of doors, without having to travel back and forth every day.
Because the business just started this spring, Gaylene was unable to grow all the plants that she is selling out of her green house, but with the greenhouse now in place, next year she plans to start everything herself in the early spring, and have garlic and berries available for local stores as well as the general public.
But all of these plans are in the future. For now, Gaylene is busy working all day in the garden centre, then delivering bulk material orders in the early evenings, then getting ready for the next day.
"It's been a real rush so far, but I've been enjoying myself," she said.
506 Yard & Garden Centre is located at 1319 Hwy 506, 1.5km east of Hwy 41. It is open 7 days a week from 8am – 4pm or by appointment. Tel: 613-336-0772.

Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has backed new manager Unai Emery's philosophy and concedes that the team is trying to move on from Wenger's style.
Arsene Wenger's 22-year stay with the Gunners ended at the end of last season and former Paris Saint Germain boss Unai Emery was drafted in as his replacement. The Spanish boss immediately tried to stamp his authority on the squad by dipping into the summer transfer window, successfully acquiring the likes of Bernd Leno, Lucas Torreira and Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
The new signings helped send a wave of optimism through Arsenal fans across North London, however, their start to the season has been less than encouraging so far. Emery's men were pitted against Manchester City on August 12th for their Premier League opener at The Emirates, where they succumbed to a disappointing 2-0 defeat and struggled to contain the attacking threat of the reigning champions.
They fared better against Chelsea on Saturday but still ended up on the wrong side of a 3-2 scoreline at Stamford Bridge. West Ham United await next weekend in their second home game of the new campaign and according to Mkhitaryan, the squad is prepared to work hard and progress gradually under their new coach.
He told Sky Sports: "We know where we're going, what we're doing, what the coach is demanding from us and we're trying to do that.
"We can say we had a hard schedule having played Manchester City and Chelsea, but we had to face them now or later so it doesn't matter.
"We have to keep working because we have a new manager, a new philosophy and want to play in a different way than before under Wenger.
"It's not too easy but we are trying to achieve that and do what the coach is asking from us. He wants to play football and dominate the game and that's what we're doing, we're not just kicking the ball up front.
The Armenian midfielders latest comments will no doubt help put a realistic spin on the transitional period that the club is facing post-Wenger and supporters must exercise patience to allow Emery the time to stamp his mark on the team and lead them forward towards more successful times.

Q: How do i get my x and y value to detect a collision between two images in html5 canvas? I am trying to make two images collide (one is a cannonball called figBola and the other a ballon called figSprite), the problem I have is that I always get a value of 0 in both a.x, a.y and b.x, b.y when using alert(); in my colliding function when I am supposed to get the position of both images in that moment which equal x and y. Both of my images width and height are returned correctly. This is what I have tried so far (the colision code is at the bottom):
function iniciar(){
elemento = document.getElementById("area");
lienzo = elemento.getContext("2d");
figSprite = new Image();

figBola = new Image();
figBola.src = "bola.png";

collision code where i am passing images as varibles:

{
alert(a.x);
alert(a.y);
alert(b.x);
alert(b.y);
}
}
A: OK, here's your problem: an Image object doesn't have x and y properties, but it does have width and height. Thus, when you try to access the x and y properties in your collision function, they come up as undefined.
It looks like you have the coordinates of each object stored in variables already (xcanon, ycanon, etc.), so those can be used as additional arguments in your collision function, however, this may not be your best bet. You could also define x and y properties of each Image object, however, I think a bit of refactoring is your best bet here. Try creating a custom JavaScript object for each item you're working with:
function GameItem (image, x, y, width, height) {
this.image = image;
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
}
var spriteImage = new Image();
spriteImage.src = "ballon.png";
sprite = new GameItem(spriteImage, 450, 20, spriteImage.width, spriteImage.height);
// etc.
// collision method now works between two of these objects:
collision(sprite, bola);
If you use this code, be sure to update your draw-- er... dibujar methods. :)
PS: Sorry, but my Spanish-JavaScript reading skills aren't in their prime.

Premier League club to help neighbors with their mental health
Everton Football Club is set to open a new building to help its neighbors with their mental health.
The Premier League charity already has a number of schemes to improve the well-being of the people of Liverpool.
Everton In The Community is about to open a brand new mental health center near Goodison Park with the goal of making a real difference in the area, one of the most underprivileged neighborhoods in the country.
Deputy CEO Mike Salla said, "Whenever you look at statistics about health inequalities or poor health outcomes, the L4 range tops the list every time."
The People's Square will offer its services to everyone under one roof, regardless of age, gender, location – or football affiliation.
It aims to promote positive mental health alongside support related to suicide awareness and/or suicide prevention.
Mr. Salla added, "We are in such a privileged position to be able to make such a meaningful difference in improving the quality of life for local people and making some really meaningful changes."
Almost all of Everton borough is among the most deprived neighborhoods nationally and mental illness and suicide are more common in more deprived inner city areas such as Liverpool 4, where Goodison Park is located.
According to statistics, 150 people die by suicide in Merseyside every year.
The £2million facility will offer wellness activities, with a shift of professional care from health and wellness practitioners, GPs and mental health professionals, alongside education and employment support.
Jon Jones, senior program manager at The People's Place, said: "There is an increase in wait times and waiting lists around mental wellbeing, which I think unfortunately raises the bar for accessing support.
"Hopefully The People's Place can help fill that need for those who may fall in between the gaps."
Everton in the Community were the Premier League's first community arm to address mental health as a targeted development programme, developing the Imagine Your Goals program in 2008.
The charity says the facility will remain in Everton if the club move there new 52,000-seat stadium on the city's waterfront in 2024.

Middle East investors keen on PH brands
KATLENE O. CACHO
A CEBU-BASED franchise consultancy firm has partnered with a Middle Eastern capitalist to create a franchise firm that will help investors build their franchise businesses in the Middle East.
RK Franchise Consultancy Inc. founder Rudolf Kotik has collaborated with businessman Ahmed Alarfaj to create a franchise firm called Franaccess to assist investors in finding the right master franchise and help them with the legal aspects of the franchise business.
Kotik said they spend at least one to three weeks a month in different areas in the Middle East to market the franchising business and meet with potential clients.
The Middle East, he said, is the next big destination for Filipino brands to grow.
Countries where franchising has a huge potential are those in the Gulf territory—Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and United Arab Emirates—which are also home to many overseas Filipino workers, he noted.
Filipino food brands (except those products with pork) are the most in-demand for franchise in the Middle East. About 90 percent of the inquiries by foreign capitalists are food businesses that are making it big in the Philippines.
Aside from the huge concentration of Filipinos in the Middle East, foreign capitalists target the locals as the main buyers of Filipino-made products.
"It has nothing to do with Filipino market. It's for the local domestic market there," he noted, adding that aside from food, franchise businesses that are related to beauty are also gaining interest among these foreign investors.
Five Filipino brands are in the process of completing their franchise system for Middle East, namely, The Reading Station, YTC Tutorial Services, Vivi Facial, Nails.Glow, and Mr. Softy Ice Cream.
The Philippines has some 1,500 local and foreign franchise brands and leads the franchise industry in Southeast Asia, according to the Philippine Franchise Association. It estimates that there are about 140,000 franchise outlets that have generated over a million jobs in the country.

If you're a freelancer, independent contractor, or a work-from-home type who isn't cut out for working from your actual home, you're likely a regular at neighborhood coffee shops. That setup can work—until you need a quiet place to conduct calls without milk being frothed in the background.
Then, it's time to consider co-working spaces, the phenomenon of office spaces shared among independent workers (who now make up 20 to 30 percent of the workforce, according to a report from McKinsey).
Here are six of Chicago's best.
WeWork is undoubtedly the biggest player in the industry, with locations all around the world including six here in Chicago, in the Loop, River North, and Fulton Market. It runs like the well-oiled machine you'd expect: each floor has a printer, there are conference rooms and private phone booths on site, and the workspaces are designed around hip living-room-style lounges that promote mingling among members.
Coolest feature: A WeWork membership comes with perks at partner companies, like Zipcar, that you'd expect to find at a corporate gig.
The No. 1 thing that stands out about Nicole Vasquez's three-year-old The Shift: It's not downtown, so North Siders can work from Uptown and eliminate the trek to the Loop. A second location, aptly called Second Shift, also recently opened in Logan Square. Both have what you need to "get shift done," as their motto goes. Expect standard desks and a relaxed coffee-shop vibe, plus extras like standing desks and exercise balls for those who can manage to shoot off emails while balancing.
Coolest feature: The focus on community. There are free networking events and member show-and-tells every two weeks. Vasquez also promotes members' businesses on site and online.
Creative Coworking will soon expand from its original Evanston location to a second space in Edgewater's Colvin House. Forget about stuffy corporate vibes here. The space feels like you're working in someone's home (albeit a well-equipped one) and doubles as an art gallery featuring work by local artists. The Evanston location spreads its meeting rooms and desks across a few floors (plus a rooftop), with dedicated quiet and collaboration zones.
Coolest feature: Interns are ready to help with tasks like social media, website support, and designing marketing materials.
The lofty River North Space by Doejo offers 24/7 access, printing services (first 20 pages a month are complimentary), and conference rooms for up to 18 people that you can book via an app. There's also always Bow Truss coffee brewing, and the office has bike racks so you don't have to worry about locking up in busy River North.
Coolest feature: Lunch-and-learns that are general enough to be relevant across industries. Two recent sessions covered daily nutrition and conquering sales fears.
The local company's gone national but counts three offices here (number four—in River North—is expected to open this fall). Most of the memberships come with access to any location, which means you can pull up to a desk if you happen to be traveling to cities such as Seattle, Denver, and Dallas. The stylish, modern spaces are stocked with healthy snacks, fancy coffee makers, and the usual printing services.
Coolest feature: There's local beer on tap in the break room.
Not exactly the first place that comes to mind when you need to get work done, but the West Loop climbing facility also counts a workspace in its 25,000 square feet. The working area has free WiFi and overlooks the climbing wall—a welcome distraction if procrastination is part of your process. At the end of the day, though, it's still a gym, so don't expect it to be library-esque.
Coolest feature: Did we mention that your breaks can be spent rappelling instead of standing awkwardly by the water cooler?

A new report from industry analysts IBISWorld forecasts continued slow growth for the legal services industry in Australia due to lower demand, increased competition and client cost-cutting. The Australian reports that the picture is better, though, than during the financial crisis when the sector saw decline of up to 2 per cent. IBISWorld expects growth of 2.7 per cent this financial year and 2.4 per cent per year thereafter through to 2019-20. Much of the growth in the sector is attributed to the large firms such as Ashurst and King & Wood Mallesons that are doing well on the international front. Wages in the profession are expected to increase but will represent a smaller percentage of the revenue, partly due to smaller staffing levels.
In one of the biggest ever donations to a law school, trial lawyer Thomas Kline of law firm Kline & Specter based in Philadelphia, has gifted US$50 million to Drexel University. The university's president John A. Fry said that the unprecedented donation will transform the university's legal education for generations to come, in what will now be called the Thomas R. Kline School of Law. Trial lawyer Kline has been in the law profession for 35 years and is one of the most respected and successful lawyers in the US.
Following a redundancy consultation, Ashurst has lost almost half of its overnight production staff in London. Fifteen roles have been cut in a bid to streamline the business and bring the UK operation in line with the Australian model of a central hub outsourcing where necessary. The firm has a larger back-office hub in Glasgow, which is cheaper to run than London facilities.
Watson, Farley and Williams is the latest western firm to launch an office in the Middle East. The new team in Dubai is headed by partner Andrew Baird who specialises in Islamic finance; he will be supported by two associates. The firm already has many clients in the region, particularly banks.
The City of Detroit has paid out around US$126 million to law firms in respect of its bankruptcy. The figure is around four times larger than was estimated at the end of last year and may increase to US$150m by the time the matter is settled. The city has been forced to make some severe cuts to public services and is now being criticised further for having built up a surplus of just enough to pay the legal fees. One firm, Jones Day has billed US$50 million while Dentons is receiving US$7.4 million.

Q: Meteor REST API access I am trying to add a REST API to my Meteor application using Restivus
I putted the following code in server folder of my Meteor application. Currently, I am trying to get the URL parameters.
var Api = new Restivus({
useDefaultAuth: true,
prettyJson: true
});
Api.addRoute('login/:id/:password', {authRequired: true}, {
get:{
action: function(){
var id = this.queryParams.id;
var password = this.queryParams.password;
return {
id: id,
password: password
}
}
}
});
I got this response
{
"status": "error"
"message": "API endpoint does not exist"
}
to my request:
http://localhost:3000/api/login?id=BGrZbGtKZZQYr9jDR&password=myPassword
A: the way you wrote the url login/:id/:password means it is expecting the url to be
http://localhost:3000/api/login/BGrZbGtKZZQYr9jDR/myPassword
However in your code, you are looking at the queryParams not urlParams:
var id = this.queryParams.id;
var password = this.queryParams.password;
You should choose one or the other:
use the code:
var id = this.urlParams.id;
var password = this.urlParams.password;
with the /login/:id/:password URL,
or use the route with just /login and pass the params as query params to use as you described:
http://localhost:3000/api/login?id=BGrZbGtKZZQYr9jDR&password=myPassword
var Api = new Restivus({
useDefaultAuth: true,
prettyJson: true
});
Api.addRoute('login', {authRequired: true}, {
get:{
action: function(){
var id = this.queryParams.id;
var password = this.queryParams.password;
return {
id: id,
password: password
}
}
}
});

Hamptons Life
Sep 9, 2014 10:13 AMPublication: The East Hampton Press & The Southampton Press
Mystery Solved: Artist Michael R. Zotos Is Man Behind 'Spontaneous Entities'
By Alyssa Melillo
Look carefully. These creatures can be easy to miss.They are posted on telephone poles all throughout the Hamptons—along County Road 39, down Montauk Highway in Bridgehampton and toward Sag Harbor, on corners in Southampton Village, and in front of Water Mill storefronts.
They are colorful, yet small. They are whimsical, yet mysterious. Or, as their creator Michael R. Zotos says, they are "spontaneous entities."
Mr. Zotos, who lives in Holtsville, describes his art pieces as nothing more than freely drawn characters, done in the spur of the moment, accompanying each burst of creativity that pulses through his being. The cartoon-like doodles, which he re-creates on plywood after an initial sketch, he explained, are simply a combination of energy and imagination.
"To me, it looks kind-of plant, kind-of animal, kind-of biomorphic," he said last week during an interview at his home. "When I find one called a 'sweet spot,' that's when I do more with it. It jives. That's the point—it's got a jive."
In May, the alien-looking pieces began popping up here and there—seemingly out of nowhere—without any explanation, raising the eyebrows of many East End motorists, with good reason. Mistaken for advertisements, or some kind of campaign—some even wondered if they were gang symbols—it turns out they were none of the above. Just an artist trying to give his work more exposure.
A long-time doodler, Mr. Zotos found himself craving an artistic outlet after working for more than two decades in real estate. He began with simple, white, papier-mâché sculptures mounted onto black backdrops that he displayed in Manhattan, usually in Union Square.
But one year, when he approached a gallery in the city about showing some of his work for the summer, he was denied.
"Nobody comes here," Mr. Zotos recalls being told. "They all go out east."
So he followed them.
It was approximately five years ago when the artist displayed his first pieces in the Hamptons, large, emotionless figures carved from blank sheets of plywood that he installed on the front lawns of a few businesses in well-traveled areas. Some of the pieces stayed put, others disappeared. But, either way, the experiment gave Mr. Zotos exactly what he wanted: a way to display his work.
"I realized it was effective. And effective is good," he said. "The key to making something is having a lot of people see it."
This time around, Mr. Zotos added color to his palette. His spontaneous entities are now more like little creatures instead of looming, empty silhouettes. The edge of each is outlined with a bright color, and the bodies are decorated with lines, shapes and splashes of paint—incomplete without a funky eye or two, and a mouth for some personality.
Out of the Closet, a vintage clothing store on Montauk Highway in Water Mill, is easily the largest hotbed for Mr. Zotos's creations, apart from his own home. The spontaneous entities are all over the place: installed on the front lawn, affixed to the building and mounted on the store's walls.
Lucille Martin, co-owner of the store, said she has developed a great liking for the kooky illustrations ever since Mr. Zotos approached her about displaying them at the beginning of the summer season, and selling them for $250 to $650 each.
"They're whimsical. They make people smile," Ms. Martin said. "They made me smile, and I love them."
The spontaneous entities, big and small, have become Mr. Zotos's artistic signature, scattered about his home in Holtsville. In his basement, the black-and-white papier-mâché pieces of years past line the walls, while the remaining rooms in his house are dotted with his more recent work. Last week, he even wore a spontaneous entity himself—a shirt covered in fabric paint and glitter, featuring one of his eccentric creatures.
To date, the artist has created more than six dozen spontaneous entities for the East End, and he isn't finished yet. He plans to tackle a few more locations in the coming weeks in order to truly leave his mark. Although every spontaneous entity is unique, they all have similarities that make them one-of-a-kind, unmistakable Michael R. Zotos designs.
"There has to be a consistency," he said. "You still have the image from the hand, the initial spontaneous gesture. It's the same hand."
Wondering if it is legal for him to hang these creatures anywhere? I found it a little distracting trying to figure out what it was or meant while I was driving. Sorry, I don't think he should be able to hang them in random spots.
Kind of like that circus sign that never got removed after the circus left town.

Perhaps you forgot to put your blinders on that morning..? Just a thought. It's people like you that keep this place as dry, and sterile as possible... I bet it was the mention of the word "smile" one too many times in the article that got to you..

This artwork amounts to ads and promotional material for a product the artist is trying to sell. They are unsightly, probably illegal and potentially a liability and all should be removed immediately. They are no different from any other graffiti that is placed on private/public property.

When a middle age, middle class "artist trying to give his work more exposure" using public property "in order to truly make his mark" (6 dozen times no less--with more to come!!) he gets a charming promotional write-up in our local paper.
When a twenty something, with baggy pants, and perhaps a bandana comes out with a spray can to "truly make his mark" on public property, he is arrested and given community service.
Of course...the twenty something usually has a slightly darker ...more complexion....

Dungeons and Dragons Club: Rolling Their Way Into The School
Owen M. Slivka, Staff Writer|September 16, 2022
Now this will come as a shock to a lot of our readers, but Stranger Things did not create Dungeons and Dragons. Instead, Dungeons and Dragons came into existence by a man named Gary Gygax in 1971. While I'd love to give you the entire oral history of Dungeons and Dragons, this article is not about that. Instead, this is about our own Dungeons and Dragons club here at ACP. Now I do need to warn you that I am both a club officer and a Dungeon Master for the club. Does that mean that my information will be biased? Yes. Will it be true? Also yes.
But what exactly is Dungeons and Dragons (DnD)? Well, Dungeons and Dragons is a tabletop game where you work together with other players to collectively tell a story. Each player follows a set of rules to determine who they play. Players pick from a list of jobs and a list of fantasy races, then fill in some information and write a personality. There is then a Dungeon Master (DM) who sets the scene for the other players, with them acting as the heroes in a story. A common misconception is that the Players and DM are fighting against each other. This isn't true. Instead, the Dungeon Master creates a narrative that the Players work through. That is the very basics of Dungeons and Dragons, as the system itself is very deep and complex.
Source: Wizards of the Coast
The Dungeons and Dragons club is very easy to join; all you have to do is find the posters around the school and scan the QR code. This will take you to a signup sheet. You are then assigned to a group based on what days you can play. This is where things get a bit weird as the next couple of steps differ based on the DM of the group, but if you do join in, they should contact you for other information and walk you through the process of making a character. The club has three DMs this year, and I happen to be one of them along with Noella Poyzer and Valerie Yasnogorodskiy. There are a lot of differences in our styles of DMing and we each have special rules that we play with, so it's important to talk to your DM first before you do any research on what you want to play. The club also has a Discord, which is the main method of communication for most of the players, but the club officers and the DMs will have any contact information you give when you sign up. We hope this article can help any of you find your next fun hobby, and if you want to listen in on Dungeons and Dragons, I run my sessions every Wednesday after school in Prof. Peter's Room. Anyone is welcome to come and listen in. Go Knights!

Southwest to cancel around 1,000 daily flights until April
By Elizabeth Evans
AUSTIN, Texas - Southwest Airlines says they will be canceling approximately 1,000 daily flights from Sunday, March 22 until April 14. They will also be suspending service to all their international destinations.
In a release, the airline says they recently implemented a plan to reduce capacity by at least 20 percent from April 14 through June 5. The decision, according to Southwest, was driven by the drop in travel demand in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.
"On Friday, Southwest made the tough decision to further revise our schedule by canceling approximately 1,000 of our almost 4,000 daily flights from Sunday, March 22 until the previously revised schedule begins on April 14, 2020," the airline said in the release. "We sincerely regret any inconvenience to our Customers and our Employees."

Southwest says they will continue to assess the demand for their service with the goal of canceling flights that have alternative options and that affect the fewest number of travelers. Southwest will also implement the cancellations on a "rolling, multiple-day basis" to provide advance notice and alternate flight options to travelers, as well as contacting affected customers as soon as possible to alert them of the cancellation.
FOX 7 Discussion: What is the coronavirus?
Dr. John Bedolla with the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin joins Natalie Martinez to discuss some of the concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
Southwest says they will also be suspending service to all their international destinations beginning at the end of the operating day on March 22. They say the decision is due to the number of governments restricting air travel across their borders and that they hope to resume normal international operations on Monday, May 4.

Southwest is also enacting flexible accommodation policies for all canceled flights, including:
Those wanting to rebook can change their travel up to 60 days from original flight date by going online. Flights that have seats available will display as "Available." Southwest recommends doing it online as call volumes are likely to be very high
Those unsure of their future travel plans do not need to take any action. Funds used to pay for this trip will be available for the customer named on the ticket to use through June 30, 2021. Customers can simply use their original confirmation number as the way to access these funds in the future
Southwest recommends travelers to check their flight status online and to read the latest travel advisories for more details about changes and cancelation policies.

1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
6 Then he said, "I am the God of your father,a the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
15 God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, 'The LORD,d the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.' "This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.

The Evolution of Drive-in Theatre
On June 6, 1933 Richard Hollingshead opened the first patented drive-in theatre in Camden, New Jersey. Drivers paid just 25 cents per vehicle to watch the British film Wives Beware. The idea to watch movies outdoors wasn't anything new. People watched silent films on screens set up at the beach. Partial drive-in theatres that held both seated patrons and cars existed earlier on as well.
But the first patented drive-in was actually created to solve a problem. Hollingshead's mother-in-law didn't find theatre seating comfortable. He had her sit in a car with a projector on the hood and tied two sheets to a tree in his yard. After a few years of experimentation, Hollingshead patented his concept.
The concept of drive-ins didn't take off until the in-car speaker did in the 1940's. By 1958, the number of drive-ins peaked at 4,063 in the United States. In the 1970's many people downsized their vehicles during the oil crisis to save money on fuel. This led to moviegoers having less room in their car seats and a worse viewing experience. To compensate, drive-ins shifted away from family-friendly content to more adult content like horror slashers.
The main issue drive-ins faced in the early days was scheduling. Indoor theatres didn't have to worry about natural elements and could show one film six times a day, instead of only at night. Others attribute the price of land as the key factor in the decline of drive-in theatres. Drive-ins were usually built on the outskirts of a city. As the city began to grow the land became valuable. It became practical for owners to sell their land to developers instead of operating.
Today, only 36 drive-in theatres remain across Canada and roughly 400 in the United States. What was once a common staple is now a niche industry, operating seasonally when they can. Some drive-ins have diversified by adding other activities to their property like go karting or mini golf. Other businesses travel and bring an outdoor theatre experience to communities for special events.
We are proud to bring Prince Rupert a socially distanced drive-in this August. Although we were hoping to make this an open event for the entire community, COVID-19 restrictions have put a limit of 50 vehicles at drive-in theatres. We hope to do more community events in the future when it is safe to do so.

In 1940 the Hungarian Ministry of De fence to obtain Czechoslovakian tanks, but the production from Skoda and CKD/Praga were committed to building tanks for the Germans. They did obtain the production rights to the Czechoslovakian designs for the S-IIr, S-IIa, T-21.
The S-IIr prototype was completed in August 1941. Production for the Turan 1 started in October 1941.
They were built by the Weiss & Cspel Steelworks of Budapest.
A long barrel 75 mm gun was installed. It was only in the prototype stage when the Germans occupied Hungary. It was to be called the Turan 3.
The 2 man turrets were replaced by 3 man turrets and radios. The Hungarian made 8-cylinder engine was installed. This became the 40M Turan I.
Turan 1, Turan I: Had 40 mm gun. Late production models had 61 mm in the front.
Turan 2, Turan II: Had a modified turret with a long bevel on the cupola and the armament was changed to a short caliber 75 mm.
Turan 3: Had longer caliber 75 mm.
40/43M Zrinyi: Assault gun armed with 105 mm.
Was the main equipment for the Hungarian 1st Tank Division from 1943.
Issued to Hungarian armored formations in 1943.
Height 7' 7.5", 7' 8"

Top Gear Helicopter crashes filming Corvette ZR1 Race (video)
Mon, 11 Feb 2013 00:00:00 -0800
A helicopter filming a Top Gear episode for the Korean version of the show has crashed while filming a race with a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
We take for granted the stunning aerial shots Top Gear mixes in to its feature pieces. They often look stunning and give a huge sense of scale and drama. But they can go wrong.
Top Gear has released video footage of exactly how wrong things can go whilst shooting footage to titilate and delight viewers, with dramatic footage of a race sequence between a Bell AH-1 Cobra and a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 that ended in near disaster.
A race sequence between the helicopter and ZR1 was being filmed for Top Gear Korea with presenter Kim Jin Pyo behind the wheel of the Corvette, taking on a professional pilot at the helm of the helicopter.
All went well until the race came to an end, but as the ZR1 and helicopter crossed the finishing line the helicopter suddenly got in to trouble, started to lose altitude and landed heavily, breaking up in the process.
The whole sequence was captured on video, including the horror of Kim Jin Pyo who left the ZR1 as soon as he realised what had happened.
Fortunately, for all concerned, no one was seriously injured. But Top Gear Korea have now been told they're limited to testing the SsangYong Korando until they've finished paying for the Bell AH-1 Cobra.

All Campaigns / South of Union Square
Battle for Landmark Protections for South of Union Square Includes Historic NAACP and National Gay Task Force Headquarters
(l.) 70 Fifth Avenue in 1940 (via NYC DOF) and 80 Fifth Avenue today.
As part of our ongoing effort to secure landmark protections for Greenwich Village and the East Village south of Union Square (roughly Fifth to Third Avenues, 9th to 14th Streets), Village Preservation recently submitted documentation to the Landmarks Preservation Commission about the incredible history of two more buildings within our proposed historic district – 70 and 80 Fifth Avenue. Read the letter here.
80 Fifth Avenue served as the headquarters of the National Gay Task Force (now the National LGBTQ Task Force), the very first national gay rights organization in the country, from its founding in 1973 until 1986. During these critical early years of the organization and the post-Stonewall LGBT rights movement and the early days of the AIDS epidemic, the Task Force made remarkable strides in their efforts and faced enormous obstacles. They secured an end to the long-time ban on gay people holding federal employment, got homosexuality removed from the American Psychiatric Association's list of mental illnesses, won court rulings protecting the rights of gay teachers from automatic dismissal and defeating legislation which would have codified and legalized broad discrimination against LGBTQ people, brokered the first-ever meeting between the White House and a gay group, got the first gay rights bill introduced in Congress (by local Congressmembers Ed Koch and Bella Abzug), laid the groundwork for passage of the Hate Crimes Statistics Act, the first federal law to recognize sexual orientation, and got the stigmatizing and inaccurate name "Gay-Related Immune Deficiency Syndrome" changed to "Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome" or AIDS, while also securing the first federal AIDS education funding and approval of the first HIV antibody test.
These remarkable histories in striking buildings still standing just feet from one another is not a coincidence; this area was a center of civil rights and social justice organizing (prior research by Village Preservation showed that that lead women's suffrage organization in New York was located just feet away at 10 East 14th Street also in our proposed historic district), great printers and publishers, preeminent writers and artists, and great innovators in commerce and industry – read more about the history of the area here.
Greenwich Village and the East Village below Union Square lack landmark and zoning protections and face increasing pressure from demolitions and out-of-character development fueled in part by the growing tech industry and the lack of promised neighborhood protections as part of the City Council's approval of the 14th Street Tech Hub. Councilmember Rivera and the Mayor agreed to an upzoning for that development with the only zoning protection offered to the neighborhood the recently-proposed hotel special permit requirement. But by itself this does virtually nothing to protect this neighborhood, and recent press coverage of the pushback on the plan (see also here) indicates Councilmember Rivera has not taken a position on the plan nor called for any additional protective measures.
The endangered area for which we are seeking landmark protections lies mostly in Councilmember Rivera's district, but also partly in Councilmember Corey Johnson's district.

Garcetti Says L.A. Will Stop Fining Businesses for Posting Signs
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Los Angeles will rescind fines recently issued and stop fining businesses for posting signs and banners during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayor Eric Garcetti said today.
"We need to support safely operating businesses, not cite them,'' Garcetti said during his COVID-19 update. "These were signs letting customers know that they were open for business, and so long as these businesses are in fact permitted to be open, there's nothing wrong.''
An investigation by NBC4 broadcast Tuesday revealed restaurants and small businesses were being fined hundreds of dollars by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety for minor violations, such as putting up a banner without a permit.
Councilman David Ryu said Friday Los Angeles should stop fining businesses for putting up temporary signs or banners without a permit during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Small businesses like Crave Cafe are under immense stress because of this pandemic, and a $356 fine is the last thing they need,'' Ryu said. "We should be encouraging restaurants to operate safely and advertise their business, not slapping them with fines.
"These fees should be waived and enforcement of these bureaucratic rules should be suspended entirely. I am calling on the city departments to stop issuing these fines and make it easier to do business in Los Angeles.''
According to NBC4, above the entrance of Crave Cafe in Studio City, where the owner said business has been down 70% during the pandemic, a banner was hung last month that read "Open for take-out and delivery.''
However, owner Rana Shalhoud told the station she was fined $356 for not obtaining a permit for the banner. The fines can almost triple to $1,176 if they're not paid within the 30-day time frame.
Several neighboring businesses on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City also received $356 fines for hanging banners announcing they were still open, including the Chop Shop salad restaurant, Fantastic Sam's barbershop, Trader Joe's and the Hot Chicken and Waffle Bar, according to NBC4.
The Department of Building and Safety told NBC4's I-Team in an email that the banners "require permits,'' and because the businesses didn't have those permits, they were in violation of the Los Angeles Municipal Code and received the fines.
"While these inspectors were doing the job that we asked them to do, based on the way the rules were written, tonight I'm changing those rules, so that they can stay focused on helping businesses,'' Garcetti said.

ATLANTA | Requiring drug tests of welfare applicants who appear suspicious and ending unemployment benefits for employees of school contractors will prevent poor people from leaving poverty, a policy analyst argued Friday.
Melissa Johnson, an attorney and former corporate consultant who provides policy analysis for the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, urged Gov. Nathan Deal to veto both bills rather than signing them into law. The governor has until April 29 to decide.
"Almost 2 million low-income Georgians will find it harder to get ahead in the future, thanks to counterproductive policies adopted by state lawmakers in the just-concluded legislative session," Johnson wrote for the institute, a private think tank that advocates greater spending on social programs.
She objected to House Bill 772 which would require applicants for food stamps or welfare to pay for their own drug tests if social workers finds they are acting suspiciously or had previous drug problems, such as drug-related arrests or job losses. That expense could take food money away from an applicant's child, Johnson argued.
She also objected to a provision in the bill requiring photographs be added to food-stamp benefit cards to cut down on fraud. The expense of adding the photos will outweigh to ultimate savings to taxpayers, Johnson figured.
Deal hasn't said publicly whether he will sign the bills, but his staff generally works with lawmakers during the session to ensure that what passes is acceptable to him.
Moments after the House passed HB 772, Speaker David Ralston, R-Blue Ridge, told reporters he thought it was reasonable.
"The bottom line is we passed a bill that simply insists on some level of personal responsibility of people who receive public funds for their support and livelihood," he said. "I don't think it's asking too much to insist that they don't use those funds to buy and use drugs."
Proponents of the bill in the legislature noted that many employers require drug testing of every job applicant. A law enacted two years ago would have subjected every welfare applicant to a drug test, but it never took effect because a federal appeals court in Atlanta ruled a similar Florida law was unconstitutional.
The federal government wrote legislators this year saying that U.S. law prohibits imposing new requirements on welfare applicants. The program, although administered by the states, is funded with federal tax money.
Johnson also objects to HB 714 which would end unemployment benefits to bus drivers and cafeteria workers still employed by companies with school contracts. The workers file for the benefits during Christmas holidays and summers when the schools are not in session.
Teachers and others who work directly for school systems are not eligible for the benefits under existing law and are paid on a year-round basis.
"When a working family has no money to pay for basic needs during the summer because there is no unemployment benefit, it hurts Georgia companies that would otherwise profit," Johnson wrote.
Supporters of the bill say the benefits drive up unemployment-insurance premiums for Georgia companies, which might prevent them from having the cash to create new jobs.

[opendtv] News: Bandwidth Advance Hints at Future Beyond Wi-Fi

Bandwidth Advance Hints at Future Beyond Wi-Fi
By JOHN MARKOFF
ONE barrier that has held back the much-hyped convergence of the
computer and consumer electronics industries has been the tangle of
wires that is needed to connect the cascade of home video, audio,
Internet and game gadgets.
Now the drive to unwire the living room is about to get a push.
In March, the Federal Communications Commission took a significant
step toward breaking an industry deadlock over setting a single
standard for a new wireless technology called ultrawideband, or UWB.
While traditional radio technologies have transmitted and received
analog signals only on specific frequencies, UWB uses inexpensive
computing power to send short radio pulses across much of the radio
spectrum. Because it does not use a single frequency, UWB offers
several advantages, including the capacity to send high volumes of
information quickly and the ability to share frequencies and resist
interference. It's like breaking a truck's cargo into loads small
enough to be carried on bicycles that can weave through a traffic jam.
The technology's potential, as yet unproven, is that it will be able
to increase the capacity of the radio spectrum drastically by
allowing users to share with existing licensed users.
Many computer and consumer electronics executives think that UWB will
become the next big thing in the second half of this decade, a
convenient alternative for all the cables that are now used to
connect everything from high-definition television monitors to stereo
speakers and anything in between. Moreover, some experts think that
UWB also has a future as a wireless networking technology that will
eventually replace the now ubiquitous Wi-Fi wireless standard.
"I look at UWB as the third wave of wireless at the edge," said Bill
Tai, a partner at the venture capital firm Charles River Ventures and
an investor in Staccato Communications in San Diego, one of many
start-up companies that are trying to capitalize on the potential
radio spectrum bonanza created by the F.C.C.'s approval of the new
technology.
"The potential is that there will be no cables hanging from your
shiny new flat-panel monitor that will be attached to the wall," Mr.
Tai said.
Staccato is one of more than 40 companies that have joined with the
WiMedia Alliance, an industry consortium led by Intel that is
pressing for a standard that will serve as a wireless alternative to
the popular USB cable standard.
Until recently, the WiMedia Alliance has been engaged in a standards
war with the UWB Forum, an opposing consortium of more than 100
companies, led by Motorola, that has been pushing for an alternative
technical approach to UWB.
With the F.C.C. approval, both sides have declared a temporary truce,
and it is now certain that the first products will begin to emerge
later this year or early next year.
That has led many in the industry, like Mr. Tai, to be increasingly
optimistic that UWB technologies will move into consumer applications
more rapidly than the two previous standards, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
"This should be a very freeing experience," Mr. Tai said. "This may
cross the chasm between consumer electronics and home PC."
And that is truly what the industry is dreaming of. With the
widespread availability of UWB, it would be possible to buy a new
high-definition television, plug it in and instantly receive a video
stream from a DVD playing in a personal computer that was set up in
the study, not the living room, without connecting any wires. In the
future, it may be possible to transmit wirelessly two multiple HDTV
signals simultaneously. A computer in the study, say, can send one
program to a television in the living room while receiving and
storing another program coming from a set-top box elsewhere in the
Still, other technology designers have even broader ambitions for
UWB. Rajeev Krishnamoorthy, the founder and chief executive of TZero
Technologies, in Sunnyvale, Calif., helped lead the development of
the first Wi-Fi 802.11b chipsets at Agere Systems as an engineer in
the 1990's.
Mr. Krishnamoorthy said he had set out on that project when he saw
that the F.C.C. in 1996 had made available a band of unlicensed radio
spectrum to be used freely.
"I looked at their decision on UWB a couple of years ago and I
thought, 'déjà vu,' " he said.
While many of the UWB companies are aiming at the market for
replacing cables wirelessly, TZero wants to build a technology with
much higher speed and greater range. As a result, the company will
have to meet vexing technical challenges to make a system that is
more immune to interference, which could range from competing
transmitters to hair dryers.
Though the challenges are significant, so are the opportunities.
Today's Wi-Fi systems are limited to about 100 megabits of data a
second, a rate that will realistically support no more than a single
high-definition television video stream in the home, whereas UWB's
capacity is 500 megabits and faster.
The future, as Mr. Krishnamoorthy envisions it, will include wireless
home networks that will need to simultaneously interconnect multiple
screens, computers and audio and video streams.
"This is obvious, everyone can see the potential," he said.
What is yet to be proven by the nascent UWB industry, researchers
say, is whether the new technology will be able to share the radio
spectrum with existing users.
"My concern is still interference," said Laurence Milstein, a
professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Center for
Wireless Communications at the University of California, San Diego.
"The original logic of UWB is that you spread over wide frequency and
if you transmit at a low enough power then you won't interfere with
other users," Mr. Milstein said.
While it is possible that the industry will be able to reach that
goal, it has yet to prove that it can be done without creating the
radio equivalent of a traffic jam, he said.
The answer will begin to emerge in the next year as the first UWB
products reach the market. The future of the digital living room lies
in the balance.

Unione Calcio Sampdoria is an Italian association football club based in Genoa. The club was formed in 1946 from the merger of two existing sports clubs whose roots can be traced back to the 1890s, Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria. Sampdoria currently compete in the Italian Serie A. Both the team name and jersey do reflect this, the first being a combination of the former names, the second incorporating the former teams' colours (blue-white and red-black) in a single design. The team's colours are blue with white, red and black hoops, hence the nickname blucerchiati ("blue-circled"). Sampdoria play at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, capacity 36,536,[2] which it shares with Genoa's other club, Genoa Cricket and Football Club. The derby between the two teams is commonly known as the Derby della Lanterna. Sampdoria have won the scudetto only once in their history, in the 1991 season. The club has also won the Coppa Italia four times (1985, 1988, 1989, and 1994) and one Italian Super Cup. Their biggest European success came when they won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1990. They also reached the European Cup final in 1992 only to lose against the Spanish side FC Barcelona with an 1–0 score after extra time.

Housebuilding in Britain's nation-state examines the debatable factor of no matter if looser making plans controls are useful which will supply cheap housing or no matter if we must always defend the nation-state from city encroachment. The publication additionally examines the impact of presidency rules in this factor and the reshaping of the agricultural economic climate and personality.
The publication provides storefront designs of many global s best manufacturers and exact shops in upscale procuring districts in Japan.
Lots of the grandiose and sometimes ostentatious Hellenistic enormous tombs have been energy- totally expressive and symbolic buildings, equipped to glorify and demonstrate the wealth and tool of kings, queens, nobles, and different folks of impression or to function shrines for the worship of the heroized lifeless. They have been artistic in layout and shape, created to illustrate the achievements of the lifeless in a public structure of permanence and sturdiness.
75 It also provides a context in which to understand the willingness of some architects who did not actively support the regime, such as Josef Havlíček and Karel Honzík, to continue working in housing design. An extension of this logic also placed hospitals, schools, and recreational facilities in the category of "means of life," and these building types were frequent subjects of study in the 1940s. Architects achieved this special "society-building" status because of the duality of their own profession, on one hand technical and on the other formal.

Oldřich Starý and representatives of BAPS meeting with President Edvard Beneš in 1946. that today the elements of functionality, technology, and economy in architectural production rise to the fore to a great extent. Architecture is still invariably the only field of technical work in which industrial production has only been used minimally for the benefit of the public. " The foundation of socialist design practice would be built on this presumption until the end of the Communist period.
It intended, within its conception of national revolution, to lead in the building of a new social order.
