I also found out that many dieters should ease into making changes in their food intake, for example, changing just one meal at a time. They need to be guided in modifying a basic eating plan so it suits their tastes and lifestyles. They need to learn how to handle challenging eating situations where they don’t have co... |
In short, to be successful, dieters needed a complete program for weight loss, that incorporates a psychological approach (e.g., what to do when you’re feeling discouraged, disappointed, or deprived), dieting skills, an enjoyable eating plan, and techniques for keeping motivated for life. Most people think that just fo... |

Well, some may decide to put the S- and Z-shapes together since they are mirror images of each other. But I won’t. It’s easy to rotate a piece of paper with a triangulation on it; it’s not nearly as easy to fetch a mirror and study triangulations through it. So let it be recorded that the cyclic group acts on triangula... |
The fact that we get a polynomial can be explained: since the Catalan number is an integer, every prime divisor of the denominator in (*) also appears in the numerator (to equal or higher power), and this can be translated into the order of vanishing of polynomials in (**) at the roots of unity. It’s not as easy to exp... |
And it’s not just triangulations. Consider noncrossing matchings of 2n points — these can be observed experimentally by sitting 2n people at a round table and asking them all to shake hands with someone with no arms crossing. |
And it’s not just the Catalan numbers. Suppose that among those 8 guests at the round table are 2 men and 6 women. The number of seating arrangements is . Don’t evaluate to 28 just yet. Replace each integer with its q-analog and you’ll get the polynomial , which will tell you that under rotation, 4 arrangements form an... |
And there is much more. The cyclic sieving phenomenon was established recently (in 2004) by three mathematicians from Minnesota (Reiner, Stanton, and White), and there are still paths waiting to be explored. |
I am totally digging this post-colloq seminar-style roundup blogpost series. |
PI and our global partners have been at the forefront of challenging communications data retention for over a decade. |
Communications data, also known as metadata, tells the story about your data and answers the who, when, what, and how of a specific communication and activity. Companies are supposed to delete this data when it is no longer necessary, because it can be highly revelatory about people, their habits, thoughts, health and ... |
In a context where the gathering and exploitation of data by private companies becomes increasingly privacy intrusive and widespread, data retention poses risks to individual privacy and data security. The data opens the door for governments and third parties to make intimate inferences about individuals, and to engage... |
Many of the laws introduced by governments demand indiscriminate and mass retention of data, beyond what is admissible under applicable international human rights standards. In turn, these laws result in the indiscriminate creation of vast dossiers of information on everyone’s activities, including location data and co... |
Privacy International has been at the forefront of challenging data retention. We have been tracking the spread of these laws, raising awareness about the risks of metadata surveillance, and campaigning against their adoption. |
Given its international influence, and the fact that the US has to date refrained from placing data retention obligations on communications service providers, much of the battleground on data retention has been in Europe. By the early 2000s, some EU member states had enacted national data retention laws, and were pushi... |
In 2003, a draft Framework Decision on data retention under discussion by EU Justice and Home Affairs Ministers sought to oblige Member States to require communications providers to retain for up to two years. In response, PI published a legal memorandum reviewing the proposal, critically analysing existing retention l... |
We built coalitions, drafted joint letters, and repeatedly gave evidence at various Parliaments. For a while we were successful in pushing back against repeated attempts to create a legal regime across Europe. Following the terrorist attacks in London in July 2005, the European Parliament, under the UK Presidency of th... |
Despite the decision however, some EU member states continued to mandate data retention provisions, with the UK parliament rushing through the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act (DRIPA), to intense criticism from legal and technical experts. As a result, DRIPA was challenged in court through judicial review by... |
Courts have recognised that blanket data retention obligations represent a violation of the right to privacy and data protection law. |
In December 2016, the European Court of Justice reaffirmed the 2014 ruling against data retention and expanded upon it, ruling that “general and indiscriminate retention” of data was in fact prohibited, that retention and any access to the data must be strictly necessary for the purpose of fighting serious crime, and t... |
The decision has far-reaching implications. While the judgment was not specific about other surveillance powers, it also implicated other surveillance laws, such as those contained within the UK’s Investigatory Powers Act. The judgment raised significant questions about whether vast swathes of the new laws should now b... |
Governments play a long game. This was a 17 year battle. We thought we had achieved victory after victory only to for our victories to be undermined by governments. If we were winning at the national level, governments would seize on terrorist attacks. If we pushed back successfully, they would move forums. |
Even if you win in court, governments may choose to ignore the decision. While European telecommunications companies such as Telia announced that they stopped retaining specific data, it remained unclear how different EU member states interpreted or acted upon the Court's decisions. |
In 2017 we ran a survey of 21 EU member states data retention practices in consultation with industry and other NGOs, assessing their legislation and jurisprudence with regard to data retention. We found that while some countries, such as the Netherlands and Slovakia, had repealed national legislation on retention, no ... |
The fight against unlawful data retention is one of the most long-running and important privacy issues in the modern era, involving stakeholders from across government, the courts, industry, and civil society. Above all, it shows how collaborative and coordinated campaigning can achieve results for the protection of pr... |
Now the challenge becomes about ensuring respect for the rule of law in an era when human rights legislation is coming under increasing attack. To challenge this, it is essential to continue to research and expose data retention practices, to raise awareness about the fundamental threat they pose for everyone’s freedom... |
We are now working to ensure that countries reform their legislation and come into compliance with Court rulings. We are pushing for states to review and amend their legislation to comply with European standards, including the CJEU jurisprudence, for telecommunications and other companies subject to data retention obli... |
In the UK, following the 2016 judgement, the case has been remitted back to the UK Court of Appeal. A hearing has not yet taken place. The government stated that “...in light of the CJEU judgment, and in order to bring an end to the litigation, the Government have accepted to the Court of Appeal that the (DRIPA) was in... |

Beyond Ergo goes beyond the accepted ideas of office ergonomics training because the modern office workplace is too complex for the traditional office ergonomics checklist and occasional workstation assessments. |
New open plan offices, activity-based or hot-desking options, sit-stand workstations, telecommuting, multiple screens (including personal phones), and new health risks associated with sedentary work have created an extremely complex and dynamic problem for workplace health and safety programs. |
However, Beyond Ergo has combined the latest ergonomics and wellness research to create a unique, multidisciplinary and interactive training program that builds the new self-care competencies employees need to make educated health, safety and wellness decisions. These are decisions on small adjustments that may change ... |
This training combines the strengths of participative ergonomics, vocational education and training, and wellness strategies to build an individual’s knowledge and self-care skills to manage the immediate work environment, workstation ergonomics and healthy work behaviours. |
The program also ensures training transfer and encourages ownership of personal health, safety and wellness. Beyond Ergo endeavours to reinforce the belief that risk factors leading to discomfort and injury can be eliminated or at least managed and each trainee can protect themselves from injury now and in the future. |
Founded by Dr Elizabeth Kirk (PhD) in late 2014, the company was initially called Practical Ergonomics but was renamed in February 2018 to highlight the need for holistic, multidisciplinary skill-based training. Training that enables trainees to quickly apply and personalise all the latest recommendations using multipl... |

FRONTLINE’s “Putin’s Revenge” dissects the Russian leader’s motives. Premieres tonight on PBS. |
Russia’s cyber assault on the U.S. has become a politically charged topic with President Vladimir Putin practically cast by his critics in the role of Bond villain. Leave it to PBS’ Frontline to dissect the deeper motivations and roots of his animosity, lending welcome context to “Putin’s Revenge,” a documentary dish s... |
Far from just resentment towards Hillary Clinton and efforts to destabilize a geopolitical foe, Putin has nursed “a lifetime of grievances” against America, the narrator intones during the latest soberly impressive production from director Michael Kirk and his team. |
I never got a chance to fly with Larry Newby, RedTail Aviation Chief Pilot at Canyonlands Field (CNY) near Moab, Utah. I bumped into him several times in my twice-a-year visits and flew with one of his mentors, LaVar Wells, a few times. Over the past five years, I have become familiar with the Utah backcountry near Can... |
On 2012 April 25, Larry and two Texas guests, a father and son pair, Wade and Kyle Richardson, were flying a Cessna 185 that crashed in the Dark Canyon area south of Moab and east of Hite at the north end of Lake Powell. Speculation they were near the Dark Canyon Plateau airstrip gave way to reports they were further s... |
If there's a lesson here, then it's not that we should be better, smarter, or more-careful pilots than Larry Newby. If there are any pilots better, smarter, or more-careful than Larry, then they still aren't better, smarter, or more-careful enough to prevent what happened. The important message is that aviation is humb... |

World Series of Fighting on Tuesday announced that Alexandre has inked “an exclusive, multi-year agreement” to compete for the Las Vegas-based organization. Specifics of the deal were not disclosed. |
A decorated muay Thai practitioner, Alexandre began his mixed martial arts career in 2011 and ran up a 5-1 record inside the Bellator cage in the span of 13 months, including a rematch win against the only man to beat him, Josh Quayhagen. The 33-year-old was absent from MMA for more than a year before returning to knoc... |
Alexandre has focused mainly on kickboxing in the past two years, most recently defeating John Wayne Parr for the Lion Fight super middleweight title in October. |
The date and opponent for Alexandre’s promotional debut “will be announced soon,” according to a release. WSOF has two events on its slate for the end of the year: WSOF 25 on Nov. 20 in Phoenix and WSOF 26 on Dec. 18 in Las Vegas. |
Some tips for dealing with a New York condo board of managers | Nadel & Ciarlo, P.C. |
On behalf of Nadel & Ciarlo, P.C. posted in Residential Real Estate on Tuesday, November 25, 2014. |
Condominiums have become a popular form of residential real estate ownership for many New Yorkers. In a condominium, residents have separate ownership of their individual units, and an undivided interest, shared with other residents, in the common areas such as hallways, elevators and building lobbies. |
Condominiums are governed by a board of managers. The board members are typically residents of the building and are often serving without pay. Ideally, they should try to resolve any issues amicably and maintain good relations with residents. Unfortunately, with some boards this is not always the case. |
A condo board is legally obligated to follow the internal rules and procedures found in the condominium declaration, the by-laws and the house rules. Like the board of directors of a corporation, they are obligated to act with prudent judgment in making business decisions. Boards are also bound to comply with the New Y... |
If you believe your board is not acting in compliance with internal rules or the law, your first step should be to speak to a board member, explain the problem and request that it be remedied or corrected. If that does not resolve the issue, you should write a letter to the board and keep a copy for your records. Your ... |
Litigation should be a last resort in a dispute with a condo board. Litigation can be expensive and you should keep in mind that you have to live in the same building with the people you are suing. Nonetheless, in serious cases where the board is not complying with the law or the internal rules of the building, it may ... |
In the music festival era, festivals from around the globe are trying to amp up the anticipation and find new and improved ways to engage fans and build up hype. With an original angle, Truck Festival in Oxfordshire, England has been giving lineup clues in form of band names and artists written on spud potatoes. |
The festival sent small care packages to a select group of fans. The packages contained a package of peanuts, confetti, a card that announced when the full line-up would be announced, as well as the spud potato that contained one performing band name written on it with a permanent marker. The back of the announcement c... |
The fans that received the care packages have taken to social media to release the riddles and revealed band names, in hopes that people could put their heads together to crack the codes. So far the riddles have foretold that Nothing But Thieves, Two Door Cinema Club, IDLES, Kate Nash, You Me At Six, Foals and Shame wi... |
The clever line-up revelation procedure is certainly groundbreaking, and is a fun way to get fans involved in the process, and also a fantastic way to generate a buzz. Great job, Truck Festival, way to be cutting edge in the music festival world. The full lineup is set to release on February 4. Stay tuned for details. |

Competition policy, as we now know it, is a relatively recent phenomenon in some Latin American countries, not so new in others, and non-existent in an ever smaller group. The issue of antiquity is illustrative of the context in which enforcement authorities and the courts interact with each other. It can affect the de... |
Because the post was turning into a lengthy document, I will divide it in two parts. Part I deals with North and Central America and the Caribbean, and part II will present the information corresponding to South America. The latter will be published in one-week time. |
The year in which I consider that a modern competition policy began in each Latin American country is presented. The starting date is counted from when a competition authority started to exist, who is in charge of enforcing an antitrust law applicable on an economy-wide basis, as opposed to sectoral regulation of compe... |
Mexico’s first competition law entered into force in June 1993, and created the Comisión Federal de Competencia. It is hard to find the exact month when the institution started to operate. According to the first annual report, merger control activity and the prosecution of anticompetitive behavior started during the se... |
Guatemala is one of two countries in Latin America that still does not have an economy-wide competition law. |
El Salvador’s first competition law entered into force in January of 2006, date in which the antitrust authority, Superintendencia de Competencia, started to operate. |
Honduras’s first competition law entered into force in February 2006 but it was not until December of that year that the Comisión para la Defensa y Promoción de la Competencia started to operate. |
Nicaragua’s first competition law came into force in June 2007, but it was not until March 2009 that the first authorities were elected and started to hire the authority’s first team of professionals. Therefore, the latter date is set as the beginning of competition policy in Nicaragua. |
According to the OECD peer review of competition policy in Costa Rica, the Comisión para Promover la Competencia started to function in 1996 (OECD (2014, p. 7)). However, the same report states that the first cases decided by the authority date back to 1995 (Id., p. 28 & 34). The authority’s website shows the same info... |
Panama’s first competition law was enacted in February of 1996, but according to the OECD peer review, the antitrust authority received its first endowment in 1997 (OECD (2010a, p. 57)). Indeed, 1997 is the first year in which the Comisión de Libre Competencia y Asuntos del Consumidor reports activity. |
Haiti is the other one of the two Latin American countries that does not have a competition law. |
The table below presents a summary of the information. |
To conclude, it is worth noting that Mexico’s policy is the oldest from the countries under analysis. In Central America one can distinguish two waves of adoption of competition policy, with Costa Rica and Panama as the pioneers. The rest of Central America caught up some 11 to 14 years later with the exception of Guat... |

Imagine someone that does not like cold weather at all, but as it has to be in Europe by mid February 2015, is trying to find a not-so-cold place to visit. Well, thought about Portugal, Barcelona, but I'm now totally lying towards Tuscany and surroundings. |
So, what would you recommend me to visit? What cities are worth to go during the winter? Wineries, restaurants, are they all open? What are all the best? |
