Iceland's parliament is considering a new law that means most companies and institutions will have to prove that they are paying men and women the same.

Q: Is it sufficient if I peer from connected interfaces as default?
A: Where possible, you should peer using the most resilient method as instructed.
Q: I have just configured my routers to peer from their loopback interfaces and now not all of my BGP neighbors are showing up. Is this acceptable?
A: No, you need to remember the rules for EBGP peering.
Q: To minimize the configuration on R8, can I leave out statements such as update-source?
A: No, find a way to maintain the required features but cut down on the size of your configuration.
Q: Can I advertise my new loopback interfaces as I see fit.
A: Use the most appropriate method of advertising your new networks.
Q: Can I change router IDs to manipulate the path selection on R6?
A: You can try anything not listed in the question if it achieves the desired results.
Q: If I have the BGP routes in my BGP tables, surely this is sufficient to prove my BGP is functioning correctly and I have full IP visibility?
A: Potentially yes, however, it would be prudent to perform extended pings or by using traceroute to be 100-percent certain.

I feel a pull on my body as I stand before the first threshold to the Temple of Remembering. I have been instructed that as I cross each threshold and stand in the hallway before the next doorway, I will experiences different lessons and challenges. These lessons and challenges need to be cleared and balanced before I can proceed to the next threshold. I will continue with my story in our next meeting. Remember to call me into your daily life.
The first doorway is very close to your color red. As I cross the threshold I am flooded with the memory of my parents. I have not thought of them in many years. I see the brilliant violet eyes of my mother and the deep green of my father's. I feel their dedication to me and know that they have studied for many years in order to give me a body.
I am just awakening to my third dimensional form. Everything is very red and orange and I am hearing the singing of my mother and the laughter of my father. I feel safe and totally surrounded by love. I can still remember the formless world from which I have just emerged. I miss the feeling of being ONE with everyone and everything, but I still feel safe because I am ONE with my parents.
Now my memory moves forward to the time when I am about four. I have been in a hard- shelled body (the word we use for our third dimensional form because our other forms are far more fluid) and have reached about six feet of height. On Antares we are independent of our parents at three years of age and gain our full adult bodies by the time we are seven years old.
I now live in one of the communal homes with the other children. There are certain adults who run these homes, but we are free to go anywhere in our community and spend time with anyone that we please. My mother is an artist and spends much of her time on the fourth and fifth dimension but visits me often. My father comes to see me about once a year. He is a Priest in one of our temples assisting others to enter the Temple of Remembering.
Suddenly, I feel my first experience of fear because I am remembering the attack of the Draconians on our small community. I was in the garden of my parents' home visiting with my Mother. She loved to visit with me there and was constantly educating me about the many beautiful flowers that grow on our planet. Mother's dear friend, Alicia, had just left the garden to bring us some aboromium tea when we heard a horrible scream coming from the house.
Mother and I raced in to see what was wrong and found Alicia on the floor in a pool of blood. Two huge Draconian reptilian men stood over her. Mother ran to her friend's side and one of the Draconians grabbed her by her hair and pulled her up to meet his eyes. I could not think or plan. I reflexively ran to my mother's aid. I was much smaller than the Draconian warrior, and he laughed as I beat upon him to release my mother.
I will never forget the laughter as the two men observed a small boy trying to rescue his mother. Finally, the warrior became tired of his game and used my mother's body to bat me away from him like a small insect. The other warrior then picked me up and threw me out of the window and into the garden. I will never understand why they did not come out to finish me off. Perhaps, they thought I was dead.
I'm sure that I must have looked dead. Both my both legs and one of my arms was broken. The left side of my face was bashed in and I was covered with blood. I still have the scars over my left eye. When I regained consciousness, I do not how much later, everything was quiet and still.
I drug my body into the house with my one good arm and found my mother dead beside her friend. I can't bear to think what they did to her. It was then that I swore I would be a warrior for as long as it took to seek revenge and find peace. I know that I cannot cross this first threshold of blood red before I release my need for revenge. Only then will I find my inner peace. Perhaps, Suzille, you and I can seek that together.
Sue's note: I could not continue with this journey until the summer of 2002, which I managed to misplace. I will need to seek Jaqual's guidance before I continue with this story.
Dear Jaqual, I am calling to you within my NOW of August 3, 2014, which is 17 years year after your 7-24-97 message. I understand that we also connected in the summer of 2002, but I do not remember and cannot find my writings of that message. I remember taking dictation for what you were telling me while I was on a camping trip. Therefore, I wrote it by hand.
I have the beginnings and the ending, now I need the middle of your story, but I cannot find the middle. I imagine that I will find what I received in one of my many written journals. However, I believe that there are no mistakes or accidents, so I call on you in this NOW to tell the middle of your journey.
Perhaps there is an alternate reality that has occurred during the "time" we did not communicate. I know that when I found the ending of your story I did not remember writing any of it. Maybe it is just that I am in an alternate reality in which I can now hear your story from a higher frequency perspective.
I rejoice that you are prepared to return to my story. And, yes, you definitely resonate to a higher frequency perspective than you did before. In fact, I have put out a homing beam for you, which you could not perceive before this era of your incarnation. Before, you enjoyed my story but found it quite disturbing.
Before I continue, I wish to tell you about our Temple of Remembering. As I have said, before we can enter the Temple we must go through a series of seven doorways with each one resonating to a higher frequency. Before we can enter the doorway, we must cross the threshold and walk the hallway before that door. What we did not know until we entered the seventh doorway was that a long stairway awaited us.
Each series of threshold, hallway and door is of a higher frequency, which emanates the next highest frequency color, vibration and tone. In this manner, each doorway represents a different era of our incarnation. In order to pass through each frequency of doorway we are called upon to transmute every lower dimensional experience of that era of our incarnation.
In this manner, we live an intimate life review through which we can transmute our fearful third-dimensional memories, thoughts, emotions and actions of each successive era of our life into fifth-dimensional unconditional love. Via the power of your unconditional love, we can transmute back to our true form of Lightbody.
The first doorway is red and represents our early childhood.
The third doorway is yellow and represents our duty as a Spiritual Warrior.
The fourth doorway is green and represents our time mating and parenting.
The fifth doorway is blue and represents our transition from parent to leader.
The sixth doorway is indigo and represents the awakening of our higher perceptions.
The seventh doorway is violet and represents our transmutations back into Lightbody.
I will now tell you of my journey through The Temple of Remembering.
As I crossed the first threshold and stood in the hallway before the red door, I felt revenge fill my being. This frequency of revenge gave me the courage to face the most frightening thing warriors could ever confront—their own unconscious fears!
I was a small child again, and all that I had known had been lost. I was ready to release my life and visit my loved ones in the higher dimensions. As I allowed my weak spirit to flow from my mortally wounded form, I saw my father, who had died protecting the Temple, and mother there to greet me.
I then experienced myself floating between my parents who held my wounded form in an upright position as they embraced me from the front and back. It was then that I realized that I was in the fifth dimension with my ascended parents. Since I was the only one left alive in our community, I was the only hope for our people. Therefore, my parents had been granted a decree to heal my physical form with their united, fifth dimensional Lightbody.
I then realized that I, too, was in a state of Lightbody. Gradually, my physical body returned to its pre-wounded state, but my spirit was filled with revenge. This method of using ones Lightbody to heal their physical body was one of the main things my father had been working on in his Temple. He could sense my revenge, but knew that I might need it if I were to succeed.
The Draconians had destroyed all of our communication systems and available ships. However, my father told me of a prototype ship that was hidden underground by the Temple. Using that ship I could call our warriors who were off planet to join me as I followed the trail of the Draconians.
I hate to admit it, but it was so wonderful in the fifth dimension that I almost wanted to stay there with my family and friends. With that thought, all those who had "died" to the physical appeared around me to engulf me in their multidimensional light. Slowly, my wounded spirit was healed, and I found myself returned to my healed physical form.
To my surprise, my form had been progressed to my adult size, but my mind and emotions were still that of a child. I knew that I should have gone directly to the hidden ship, but as I walked from my parent's house to the Temple I knew I had to tend to the dead. Therefore, I rushed back to the house to get my father's lazar gun, which he hid there for my Mother's safety.
Then, as I walked through our settlement toward the Temple, I blessed and vaporized each body. I knew that they had all returned to the fifth dimension, so I held no sorrow for them, but I could not allow their physical forms to slowly deteriorate in the Antarian sun.
The ship was exactly where my father had said. We were trained from early childhood how to operate even the most sophisticated starship, so I thought I would know exactly how to operate it. First I removed the holographic camouflage from the entrance of the cavern. Then I raised the ship to the surface and sent out a message to all of our warriors telling them what had occurred.
I understood why my parents had restored me to an adult form because my smaller body would have had difficulty reaching all the controls while seated in the pilot's chair. Since this ship was a prototype with different controls, my father merged his fifth dimensional consciousness with my physical form so that he could kinesthetically instruct me.
"I can only stay with you for a few moments of your time, as my body is returning to the higher dimensions. Therefore, pay close attention to what I am doing and telling you. No one else knows how to fly this ship and I will only be able to show you once.
"You must be a true Spiritual Warrior and think only of the greater good," he replied.
I realized then that I could not allow my emotions to affect my thoughts. This knowing gave me the strength to focus only on my Father's voice, which I heard inside my heart. I then felt my Mother, who was ONE with my Father now, and realized that death is only a third dimensional illusion. My duty and honor was to rescue the living members of our settlement.
With the alignment of my heart and mind, my consciousness shifted into the fifth dimension, and my Father was able to actually enter my form within his NOW to instruct me kinetically on all the operations of the ship. Soon, I knew everything about the ship, thanked my parents and took off on my mission to save our people.
With my childhood over, I move toward the Orange Threshold.
At first, I didn't feel a strong connection to Jaqual's story, when we were first introduced, but I sure do now. Some years ago, I had a reading done that really resonated with me. I was told that I was a Hadarian in another reality, and had been captured by the Draconians and later was rescued, prior to my coming to Earth. There were so many things revealed to me in this reading that really made sense to me, especially why I am the way that I am and some of what my mission is, here on Earth.
Reading Jaqual's story is giving me that feeling of deja vu. I kind of have the shivers and am excited to hear more of his story, hoping that his story will trigger hidden memories of my own.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Miss Sue !
I could actually feel this anger, that I never knew I had, welling up inside of me as Jaqual/You described the Draconian invasion of Antares.... I started seeing scenes flashing before my eyes, almost like from a movie, '300' comes to mind, and now I can't shake this feeling of vengeance that seems to have taken root in my heart - or maybe it was always there? I'm not sure.
But thank you so much for calling on Jaqual again so that he could fill in the blanks for us ! It's been a huge revelation for me. My third/fourth-dimensional consciousness has yet to grasp the extent of it tho.

A Praça Rui Barbosa é um logradouro do município de Curitiba, no estado do Paraná.
Na praça esta localizado o principal terminal de transporte urbano, unificando várias linhas de ônibus do centro da capital com alguns dos mais importantes bairros, além da principal Rua da Cidadania Matriz de Curitiba, que oferece serviços populares de restaurante, várias lojas comerciais e uma unidade da URBS e o prédio histórico da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Curitiba,
História
Seu terreno era um descampado, no qual existia uma vertente conhecida como Olho D'Água dos Sapos, que foi canalizada até um chafariz pelo engenheiro Antônio Rebouças, inaugurado em 1871 no Largo da Ponte (atual Praça Zacarias).
Em 1880, após a abertura da Santa Casa de Misericórdia, o descampado passou a ser chamado Largo da Misericórdia. Com a queda do Império seu nome foi alterado para Praça da República. Apenas na década de 1920 recebeu o nome atual.
Até 1954 foi utilizado para manobras e instruções de recrutas, pois ali existia o quartel do 15º Batalhão de Caçadores. O espaço também foi destinado para exposições variadas, circos, parque de diversões e eventos religiosos. O descampado só foi urbanizado e transformou-se em praça durante a gestão do prefeito Ney Braga, em 1955. Entre a década de 1970 e começo da década de 1990 abrigou o Teatro de Bolso, um dos teatros populares da cidade.

"Roubini's testimony and prepared remarks offer an incorrect characterization of the cryptocurrency and blockchain space. Some of his critiques are legitimate – no one is disputing that volatility is presents a barrier to cryptocurrencies becoming a true store of value. However, he ignores the potential for the industry to adapt and evolve over time. We can now create solutions by approaching economics and monetary supply in a way traditional economists have not considered before, because they didn't have blockchain technology to solve their issues with.

Will Indonesia Emerge as Asia's Third Giant? - A conversation with GGF 2030 fellow Liana Lim Hinch
By Global Governance Futures - 04 September 2018
World economy, trade and finance
This interview was conducted by the Global Governance Futures – Robert Bosch Foundation Multilateral Dialogues, which brings together young professionals to look ahead 10 years and recommend ways to address global challenges.
1. Indonesia is one of the world's fastest-growing economies and could become its 7th largest economy by 2030. What are some of the foreseeable challenges that Indonesia will have to overcome in the coming decade?
One of the most intractable challenges facing Indonesia is weak governance, including high levels of corruption, ineffective public institutions, and inconsistent rule of law. Indonesia's transition to democracy has been heralded as one of the most successful in the world. The world's third largest democracy, Indonesia has subsequently undergone several peaceful transfers of power that have further cemented its reputation as a successful post-authoritarian nation. However, although elections and peaceful transfers of power are necessary conditions for democracy, they are insufficient in and of themselves. Indonesia's democratic resilience and its future growth will be contingent upon its ability to strengthen its governance. There is an overriding sentiment that the rules of the game under the democratic regime have been slightly revised but not fundamentally altered. Indonesia's police and judiciary are perceived by the electorate as some of its most corrupt institutions. Moreover, decentralization of power and resources to the local level has produced mixed results. More often than not, decentralization merely multiplies opportunities and access for corruption and elite capture. Indonesian public institutions are utilized to facilitate patron-client relationships instead of being run to serve the public. The application of the rule of law is inconsistent and patchy at best. Indonesia's Anti-Corruption Agency (KPK) is under constant attack by a legislature that is determined to curtail its power and render it impotent while bureaucratic corruption, which undermines the public's trust in the state, remains widespread. Indonesia faces other major challenges as well, such as the threat of climate change, an unproductive labor force, and income inequality, among others. However, if Indonesia is serious about improving its governance, the country can harness its strengths, capacity, and resources to deal effectively with these and other challenges.
2. The Asia-Pacific region is becoming increasingly important in terms of economic development, but it is also a region characterized by geopolitical tension. What is Indonesia's role in the region?
Indonesia's foreign policy ambitions, such as its desire to be a global maritime axis, is grandiose in vision but light on substance. Indonesia's few hardline approaches, such as its insistence on executing foreign drug traffickers and blowing up illegal fishing boats, are mostly aimed at impressing the domestic electorate (who are highly supportive of such measures because they are perceived as a show of resolve to match Indonesia's rising power). For the most part, however, Indonesia assumes a role of constructive regional leader not out of a naked ambition for power and prestige but because of genuine global concerns. Thus, Indonesia chooses its battles carefully. It avoids displaying itself as a regional hegemon. Rather, it aims to be seen as an active regionalist that is well-positioned to represent Southeast Asia among the global players (such as in the G20) and a constructive bridge-builder among the smaller regional powers, leading by building consensus. Indonesia has a realistic conception of its economic and military power, with its huge potential but limited capacity, and in most cases opts for more moderate foreign policy ambitions despite rhetoric to the contrary.
3. China is one of Indonesia's biggest investors and trading partners. What is Indonesia's stance towards China's increasing economic influence in the region, especially with regard to the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative?
Indonesia has an ambivalent view of China. The relationship between the two countries has been characterized by an underlying mistrust and suspicion that stretches far back in history. However, Indonesia is practical enough to realize that Chinese investment and its huge market are critical for Indonesia's continued growth. Although, traditionally, Indonesia has remained on the sidelines of the various South China Sea disputes, the government has begun to take a more assertive approach towards Beijing. Recently, Indonesia renamed the northernmost waters of its exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea as the North Natuna Sea and began increasing its military presence there, despite Beijing's claims that the area falls into its traditional fishing grounds. However, there seems to be a limit to how far Jakarta is willing to go to challenge China's territorial claims. For this reason, Indonesia continues to broaden its trade and investment cooperation with Beijing while deepening its political and security partnerships with the US.
Indonesia is very excited about China's Road and Belt Initiative, since it is poised to be a major beneficiary. China is keen to invest in port development and industrial areas in several locations in Indonesia and promised to invest a total of $9 billion in 50 projects throughout the country, which were supposed to have been completed by now. Unfortunately, only nine projects have been completed so far due to problems related to land acquisition and financing. The scale of public and private financing required, coupled with high risks embedded in infrastructure investment in emerging markets, mean it remains to be seen whether the implementation of its initiative can match the scale of China's ambition.
4. As a corporate governance consultant, what are some of the challenges and opportunities you see Indonesian companies facing when doing business within the region and further away?
Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK) has made significant progress in raising the standards for Indonesian listed companies in recent years, which should improve the attractiveness of these companies for foreign investors. However, despite its market size and potential as the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia continues to lag behind many of its neighbors in all regional and international corporate governance rankings, among other things. Good corporate governance is critical for enhancing business competitiveness and facilitating access to finance. Good corporate governance practices enhance transparency, reducing investment risks to investors and shareholders. Yet, corporate governance is often viewed by Indonesian companies as a compliance exercise with no tangible benefits. So, a major challenge is to shift this mindset among business owners. The key action for the government and regulatory bodies to take is to create an enabling environment which encourages Indonesian companies to race to the top instead of doing the opposite. In addition, the majority of listed companies in Indonesia have an opaque ownership structure, with complex subsidiaries and high potential for conflicts of interest, which further dampens investors' appetites. Limited protection for minority shareholders also negatively affects the attractiveness of Indonesian businesses. Recently, the government has begun to pressure foreign companies in Indonesia to sell local ownership stakes to the government, to detrimental effect on the investment climate.
On the other hand, Indonesians have a very entrepreneurial and resilient spirit. Many Indonesians aspire to own a business. Disruptive technologies, driven by innovative local companies such as GO-JEK (which began as a motorcycle ride-hailing application and has evolved into multi-purpose mobile-based service provider), provide a platform for small and medium-sized enterprises to grow and thrive by lowering the cost of and barrier to entry. These businesses thrive despite all the challenges facing Indonesia and that's very exciting.
5. In your opinion, is Indonesia ready to assert a stronger position on the international stage and enhance its status as the 'Third Asian Giant' alongside China and India?
Indonesia's attitude toward the global order is moderate-revisionist: it does not seek to challenge the current US-led international order, but rather proposes readjustments and a recalibration of the current order. Indonesia has started to assert a stronger position on the international stage and has initiated reforms on issues of strategic interest, such as climate change and infrastructure financing, but only on a modest scale. Indonesia faces major domestic challenges which inhibit its freedom of action to pursue a more ambitious global portfolio.
In addition, we can expect to see identity politics driven by resurging Islamic conservatism to loom large in next year's elections. To be fully realized, Indonesia's physical and human capital will require not just more but smarter investments. The quality and capacity of Indonesia's public institutions need further strengthening to enable these institutions to perform their functions effectively and efficiently. All in all, Indonesia has a huge potential to play a constructive role in shaping the international order but, unfortunately, its capacity remains constrained by a multitude of factors.

On June 11, 2016, I reached a significant milestone: I graduated with a B.S. in chemical engineering, had a job awaiting me at one of the largest corporations in the world, and I had the rest of my life planned out. Like many others, I planned to embark on a long career with that same company, rise up through the ranks, grow my 401k, obtain stock options and a pension, retire, and eventually pass away. I was ready to embark on that journey, until something greater than getting my diploma happened: I delivered the student commencement speech at graduation. It was there, addressing thousands of students, alumni, parents, professors and distinguished guests that I discovered my true passion and calling in life.
That speech gave me the confidence and affirmation to reach people and encourage them through my words to pursue their dreams. So two weeks after graduation, I started a blog where I discuss personal growth topics pertinent to young adults, teaching them different ways of improving their lives through, amongst other things, finding a calling instead of just a career. A career, you retire from. A calling, however, you continue to pursue until you die; it is the intersection of what we love to do, what we're good at, and most importantly, what helps others. Between the two, one is temporary, and the other is permanent. One sows seeds into yourself, and the other sows seeds into others. One places our destiny in others' control, and the other places our destiny in our control. One is trivial, and the other is the most important thing we can do in our lives. I believe the seeds that I'm sowing in this venture will take me further than my chemical engineering degree ever could.
Pursuing a calling is extremely risky and is likely the main reason why many African parents encourage their children to follow more "established" career paths such as engineering, medicine, and law. When I recently told my older cousin of my desire to leave my job and pursue my calling in the near future, he remarked, "I hope you're not going to leave a GOOD job just to do a blog." While I have been bothered by that remark, I was not surprised. It seems to be the general attitude from many Africans toward those types of decisions.
It's interesting that many African parents – having taken the HUGE risk of leaving their beloved friends and family to come to a country with no resources, no professional network, and where they'll have to start from the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder – are cautious for their own children to carry that same risk tolerance for their own lives. But who could blame them? No parent wants to see their child go through the same struggle of trying to gain a foothold in society. Most importantly, every parent wants to see their child realize their full potential. But a child's full potential can only be realized when they are encouraged to pursue their calling, not a career.
A few months ago an article appeared in Newsweek about Chris Kwekowe, a 23-year old Nigerian who rejected a software engineering role at Microsoft to continue building Slatecube, a startup he and his brother formed to help other Nigerians gain skills and find jobs. I can only speculate about his parents' feelings on that decision, but this is the perfect example of someone who turned down the "stability" of a high-paying job at a big company and chased his own dreams. Here is someone doing something that he loves to do, doing something that he's good at, and doing something that helps others.
According to US Census data, more than 43 percent of African immigrants hold a bachelor's degree or higher. God has blessed the African diaspora with intelligence, perseverance and the power to do more; to pursue a calling, not a career. The world faces challenges that require extraordinary individuals who are on a journey towards their callings. Too often, the dream is seen as just working a good job because of its pay, but we can think beyond that. We can think towards building a legacy that will help others. Even if it starts on the side, finding our calling is the path toward reaching our fulfillment and potential.
Gbogo Adebayo-Ige currently resides Houston, TX. He is passionate about helping others on their journey of finding their purpose, pursuing their passions, and leading their lives through personal growth; all while simultaneously embarking on his own similar journey. He operates a blog at transformationrenewalgroup.com and you can follow him on Twitter@gbogoa.

3 Ways to Uncover Meaning in Your Work
Meaning is key to boosting happiness and fending off burnout, and it starts with the stories you tell yourself.
Rebecca Muller Feintuch
If you're wondering why the conversation around burnout has become nearly ubiquitous in recent years, it's because the experience has, too: Two-thirds of the full-time American workforce suffers from burnout (the main symptoms of which are exhaustion, a sense of inefficacy, and cynicism, according to experts). And 63 percent of workers reported not feeling engaged in their work, according to a 2013 Gallup poll that surveyed 230,000 full-time and part-time workers in 142 countries.
The prevailing theory into what helps some of us avoid burnout while others succumb to it? Those who fend it off feel a sense of purpose in their work, which makes day-to-day tasks seem less stressful and helps people feel generally happier about the work they're doing. In a new Quartz article, London-based reporter Cassie Webber argues that finding true meaning in our careers comes not from "following our passion" and landing a job "that makes us wildly happy every day," but from the stories we tell ourselves. "Meaning isn't something to be found, and it can't be uncovered by heartfelt commitment, long hours, and self-sacrifice," she writes. "Meaning is something we make."
Two people might have "the exact same work circumstances — the same precariousness, same distress and long working hours, same obnoxious boss," Gianpiero Petriglieri, a professor of organizational behavior at INSEAD, a graduate business school with campuses in France, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi, told Quartz. "And one person feels: 'This is a hopeless situation, I'm really in pain, I'm suffering.' And [the other] person says, 'Well, you know, I'm putting up with this because…'" Petriglieri isn't suggesting that we all need to put up with unhappy situations, Webber writes. Instead, "He's identifying the idea, widely accepted in psychology literature, that the 'because' is key."
Finding meaning in what you do can make you exponentially happier — but if you're at a loss for where to look, here's help:
Retell your story
Research shows our self-talk can determine the drive and passion we bring to our work. Webber writes that our feelings about our work often stem from "career cartography" — the maps we write of our professional paths. Once you shift your mindset to realize you're in control of that map, Webber says your self-talk will improve, and you'll set yourself up for greater success at work. "Your career is a treasure hunt," she adds. "Accepting that fact can transform what you choose to do with your life, but it can also transform the way you feel about what it is you already do."
Focus on your bigger purpose
Experts say finding meaning has nothing to do with your job title, or where you fall in your company's hierarchy. In a recent piece in The New York Times Magazine, author Charles Duhigg mentions a 2001 study, where researchers found that particular janitors at hospitals seemed happier than others, simply because they felt something deeper in their work. "Some members of the janitorial staff saw their jobs not as just tidying up but as a form of healing," Duhigg explains. "If you see your job as healing the sick, rather than just swabbing up messes, you're likely to have a deeper sense of purpose whenever you grab the mop."
Start "job carving"
In the New York Times' Smarter Living newsletter, founding editor Tim Herrera highlights the importance of "job carving" — or slowly shifting your responsibilities within your current position from what drains you to what energizes you. He encourages people to write down what they love and loathe about their careers, and identify the hidden clues about what feels meaningful, and what doesn't. "This exercise gives you a road map about how to focus your time and energy on the things that get you excited," Herrera explains. "Rather than trying to get better at things you hate doing and know you're not great at, reframe the issue and try to do more things that energize you and that you excel at."

507 Lagos doctors arrive UK in 2 years – NMA
Home » 507 Lagos doctors arrive UK in 2 years – NMA
The Nigerian Medical Association, Lagos State chapter, has revealed that 507 medical doctors practicing in the state have migrated to the United Kingdom in less than 24 months due to better conditions of service.
The association's Chairman, Dr. Benjamin Olowojebutu, disclosed this during an exclusive interview with PUNCH HealthWise, calling on the Federal and state governments to address the problem of brain drain in the health sector.
Olowojebutu stated that brain drain had become a big problem in Nigeria, warning that medicine might go into extinction in the country if the problem persisted and not treated as an emergency.
According to him, there is a lot of dearth of doctors in Nigeria, especially in Lagos State.
The NMA chairman said, "There is a very big challenge about brain drain. I have said several times that we have to be very deliberate about how we tackle this.
"There is a pull and push syndrome that is affecting doctors leaving Lagos State. Last month alone, we had over 100 doctors who left Nigeria for the UK and about 80 of them were from Lagos State.
"During the COVID-19 in 2020, 81 doctors moved from Lagos to the UK. They had a special plane that came to carry them from the UK. Between March 2020 and October 2022, we lost 507 doctors from Lagos State alone to the UK.
The physician said there was a need for an emergency assessment and emergency meeting to curtail the problem.
He noted, "The nation must address brain drain as an emergency. Who is addressing it? It's only the doctors that have been talking about it. Which government has come out to talk about it?
"So, for us in Lagos State, it is important as a nation that we address this push and pull syndrome. What are we doing as a nation? There has to be an emergency to sort it out.
"We have to be deliberate about it because if we don't, medicine will go into extinction.
"Before, we used to have young doctors traveling abroad for greener pastures but now, even the consultants that are supposed to be training the young doctors are leaving the country."
Olowojebutu lamented that the quality of healthcare delivery in the country had reduced because the manpower was reduced.
"There is a lot of dearth of doctors in Nigeria, especially in Lagos State. Some places don't have specialties anymore because the specialists have left the country at this time.
"So, it is important as a nation that we address this thing wholly, the welfare of doctors and their salaries.
"We hope that the government will sit down and look at this as an emergency and solve the problem," he said.
He also urged the government to stop being quiet about the problem, stressing that it was time the government arose and did the needful.
According to the British General Medical Council, the total number of Nigerian-trained doctors in the UK now stands at 10,387.
Apart from doctors, other categories of health workers are also migrating.
The Nigeria Association of Resident Doctors says six out of 10 doctors in the country plan to leave the country for greener pastures.
The mass exodus of healthcare professionals, especially doctors, pharmacists, and nurses has been a burning issue in the country.
A 2017 survey by the Nigerian Polling Organisation in partnership with Nigeria Health Watch revealed that about 88 per cent of medical doctors in Nigeria were seeking work opportunities abroad. (Punch)

CiaranAinsworth's goal is to receive €20.00 per week.
I'm a technology enthusiast, folklorist, and musician who is passionate about introducing people to free and open alternatives to their current social and software solutions. I currently host a federated Funkwhale server and a Mastodon instance to provide a free and federated alternative to Soundcloud/Spotify and Twitter respectively. I also plan to start a Matrix server to offer an alternative to Facebook Messenger/WhatsApp. Watch this space!
This Liberapay is intended to help pay for hosting costs at Digital Ocean, mailing costs at Mailgun, storage costs at AWS, and for any monitoring/backups/load balancing tools I may need to introduce in future. Currently I can pay all of this myself, but it could quickly become too expensive if the services grow. I'd like to keep the community alive, but I will need help.
While I work professionally in the technology sector, my true passion is Japanese mythology - a subject I earned a postgraduate degree in before going into DevOps. All of my projects tend to revolve around Japanese mythology in some way, and I like to support artists who share this interest.

Rapper who filmed British actor's daughter as she 'lay dying' found guilty of manslaughter
A rapper was found guilty of manslaughter Thursday in the death of Louella Fletcher-Michie, the daughter of British actor John Michie.
Ceon Broughton, 30, of Enfield, was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison, according to the BBC. He was found guilty of manslaughter and "supplying the Class A drug." The verdict was unanimous.
Broughton "bumped up" Fletcher-Michie's dose of 2-CP, a hallucinogenic drug, while they were at the Bestival Festival in September 2017, Sky News reported. She was found dead in a wooded area near the festival in Dorset after taking the drug, the BBC reported.
Broughton, who was dating Fletcher-Michie at the time, filmed the woman as she died just before her 25th birthday. The jury was told that the two liked to film one another as they took drugs.
Broughton, who is also known by his stage name CeonRPG, told his girlfriend she was exaggerating as she "lay dying," the BBC reported. Footage from the film showed Fletcher-Michie asking him to call her mother before he calls her a "drama queen."
Broughton's lawyer read a statement from the rapper to the court, that said, in part, "Sorry I didn't do more to save Louella. Sorry for the suffering I caused to everyone who loved Louella. I want to make things right."
Previously, Broughton pleaded guilty to supplying Fletcher-Michie with drugs at Glastonbury in June 2017. The rapper was in "breach of a suspended prison sentence for two charges of possessing a lock knife and Stanley knife blade," Sky News reported.
Neil Devoto, senior investigator office of Dorset Police, called Boughton's actions "selfish and shameful."
"All he needed to do was walk a few hundred meters to the on-site hospital and medical staff, and call for emergency help or dial 999 on his mobile," he said.

Fletcher-Michie's father, "Holby City" star John Michie, 62, said in a victim impact statement that his daughter's life was "cruelly cut short."
"Our lives forever diminished. She was wise beyond her years and trusting — too trusting it seems," he said.

Asked by Paul to Andrew, Dilip, Emma, John, Ruth on 18 Nov 2015.
Hello Paul, what an interesting project to be researching, I hadn't heard of this until now! Yes, like many projects, it is difficult to get a plant to increase the production of a nutrient. In this project, the scientists may be trying to get the bananas to take up a new gene, or to up-regulate an existing gene.
Not only can this be difficult to do, but, if they are successful, the new bananas may not be popular. Some people who are inherently opposed to genetically modified foods may not be willing to eat them, and even for those who are not opponents of GM foods, there could be be other issues.
For example, increasing the iron content could affect sensory qualities such as the taste, which we know is one of the main factors in food choice.
So while I think it is a brilliant idea and could definitely help to overcome some of the iron-deficiency problems in other countries, I do think they have quite a tough challenge ahead!!
Wow this does sound interesting. Emma raised some awesome points. Iron can really effect the taste of something especially a banana which doesn't have strong flavour naturally.
It could potentially work but would be a long way off being used. Another alternative which is becoming increasingly popular for this is insects. For example Mopane caterpillars contain about 5 times more iron per gram of dry weight compared to beef. They are cheaper and easier to farm for developing countries and can be ground into powder to be put into their diet already such as sprinkle on a stew etc.
I don't actually have anything to add to this answer, John and Emma have covered all the bases really well!

Securities & Tax Law Blog
Current Proposals May Affect Availability of Various Tax Credits
Credit for Government Owned Broadband
The proposal includes a 30% credit for state, local, and tribal governments for the operation and maintenance of government owned broadband systems. Requirements for the credit include a download speed of at least 25 Mbps and an upload speed of at least 3 Mbps. Expenses are capped at $400 per newly subscribed household living in a low-income community. The credit phases down to 26% in 2027, 24% in 2028, and expires at the beginning of 2029.
New Markets Tax Credit
The new markets tax credit would be permanent, if accepted in its current form. For the 2022 and 2023 allocation rounds, it provides an additional allocation amount of $2 billion (for a total of $7 billion in 2022) and $1 billion (for a total of $6 billion in 2023). It sets the allocation amounts at $5 billion for 2024 and all years thereafter. Beginning in 2024, it indexes the annual allocation amount to inflation. Finally, the provision provides AMT relief to taxpayers claiming the NMTC.
There are a number of proposed changes affecting the low-income housing tax credit. The 9% housing credit and the small state minimum would increase by 50% and phases in this increase over five years. This would be effective for buildings financed by the proceeds of certain tax-exempt bonds issued in calendar years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, or 2028 (and not financed by previous bonds issued in tax years 2019-2021) for buildings placed in service in taxable years after December 31, 2021.
For buildings designated to serve extremely low-income households, there would be a 50% basis boost for LIHTC buildings that designate at least 20% of their occupied units for extremely low-income tenants and limit rent to no more than 30% of the greater of: 30% of area median income or the federal poverty line. For more details, contact our office or your tax professional.

Home Malaysia Death
Malaysia - Death
Malaysia has certain procedures when death occurs. There are some important guidelines to follow when a death occurs in the family.
Who to Call When Someone Dies?
If a member of your family dies at home then you must call the police at your nearest local police station and an ambulance. The body must not be moved at all. Malaysian Law states that only an official can handle a dead body. The same law states that a medical official must be present to confirm the death for the purposes of the death certificate and records.
The body is then transferred to a hospital. The hospital can be chosen by the family if preferred. If the ambulance takes the body then the hospital will be a public hospital. There will also be a fee payable for the ambulance service. The deceased person's documents must be produced. These include passport, visas and any medical cards they may have had. Once the body has been removed, taken to hospital and recorded, you will be notified when you can arrange to have the body collected from the hospital.
After the recording of the death has been registered by the police and a medical official, the body can be collected from the hospital for the funeral arrangements to be made. On the release of the body, a letter of release called Surat Kebenaran Pengkebumian will be issued. This is the official document that tells funeral directors this body has been recorded by the necessary legal requirements. This process could take longer if an autopsy has to be performed if a medical official was not able to be present on collection of the dead body. This, for example, could be in a place away from home.
Registration of Death
The next-of-kin must register the death within seven days of the date of the death being recorded by the police and the hospital. Registration of death is done at a police station.
The documents which must be presented are as follows:
- Deceased person's passport
- Next of Kin's passport and visa (if applicable)
- The forms which were issued by the medical official
- Payment
The police report on the death will take seven days. If the person is not a Malaysian citizen then the report from the police should be taken to the deceased person's embassy to record the death there.
The death must also be reported to the The National Registration Dept. Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara. The death certificate (sijil kematian) will then be issued. The registration department has regional branches and the website below gives details of how to find your local branch:
www.jpn.gov.my/en/NRDbranches
Malaysian law determines whether a person can be buried or cremated. This is determined by the visa status of the deceased. If the deceased was a Malaysian citizen then the body must be buried in Malaysia. If they were a non-citizen then the body must be cremated and repatriated. The employer, if on a working visa, must also be informed of the death.
Malaysia has no set law on when a funeral should take place. Because of Malaysia's multi-religion culture, people are free to have a funeral as to their own traditions. Religions, and there are many of them in Malaysia, are well-respected in Malaysia. Funerals can be held in a number of places. Home, (if not an apartment building), churches, though permission has to be sought from the church, Chinese Temples, public and private funeral parlours.
Cremations have a number of options too. There is a choice between public or private crematoriums of various religions, or in one of the various churches relevant to the deceased religion.
It is important that you're aware that aviation restrictions cannot take coffins on board aircraft. This means a non-citizen of Malaysia must be repatriated and cremated so that the ashes can be taken back to the country. The urn must be sealed before being allowed on board the aircraft. Funeral companies can arrange all of this for you and your family.
Hospitals can make recommendations for funeral parlours or crematoriums. Funeral services can make all the arrangements if this is the wishes of the family. They can perform all the necessary paperwork, collect the body from the hospital, arrange the police report and even arrange the death certificate.

How to Achieve Inclusion Goals
Mines News, News, Uncategorized
At the Diversity, Inclusion & Access (DI&A) town hall on February 20, students and faculty expressed frustrations with the current community status on Mines campus. One student spoke out about the lack of affordable housing, making retention difficult for PhD students living off a stipend.
The town halls held over the last few weeks represent the one year mark since the beginning of DI&A at Mines. 40 strategic implementation plans were created across campus in each unit to address how the Mines community would address DI&A through its actions that year. All of them overlapped in their initiatives, showing that goals such as creating inclusive classrooms and valuing diversity in the classroom is of widespread importance.
Amy Landis, Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty as well as the Presidential Fellow for DI&A, led the town halls. She encouraged attendees to participate in expressing their opinions, asking what the initiative meant to people at Mines. "I love that community is so big," she said, because her goal for DI&A is to not just have one person in charge, but to have everyone across campus to contribute in their own way.
180 people helped to bring DI&A to where it is today, but it will be expanding its presence on campus as Mines commits to investing further resources. The initiatives it has supported include bias trainings, inclusion icebreakers, Girls Lead the Way, and community grants and awards to bring attention to more of campus.
On February 28, Dr. Jane Willenbring will be presenting on the MeTooSTEM movement in the MZ atrium at 10am, discussing her experiences and how she has created change in academia through a TitleIV lawsuit.
A student expressed their opinions about the current state of DI&A, saying that what they're doing is great and necessary, but it is not where it needs to be yet. They noticed that in the future, students will be able to benefit from it, but the support for underrepresented students just isn't enough at the moment. In order to see change, they said they need to see change in terms of funding for grad students and affordable housing, among other things.
Jill Robertson, Director of Financial Aid, also attended the town hall. She said that "It is our goal as an office … to assist admissions in recruitment of underrepresented students, and they need financial aid in order to do that." In financial aid, they have been spreading the message of diversity and inclusion all along, as the first office on campus to have materials printed in spanish. "We as an office want students to feel welcomed in our space. … We want all of our students regardless of where they come from, what their backgrounds are, to feel heard and understood," Robertson said.
The goal of DI&A is to have the campus community working toward the shared goals of an inclusive campus culture, together.

Here's some of the great folks that work at Wilson Bros Gardens. We think if you asked any of them they'd say it's not "work" we do, but play!
Brent Wilson - Co-Founder
Brent, along with his twin brother Brooks, is co-founder of Wilson Bros Gardens. They opened the nursery operations in 1989 in McDonough, GA, after having spent a decade in the landscape design-build business serving clients in metro Atlanta area. These days, Brent oversees all internet operations for the business, including site development, email newsletters, and everything else marketing. He is an avid gardener and plant enthusiast who is always looking for that next new plant to grow and trial in his own gardens, which contains over 3,500 varieties of plants and trees. Brent is a major contributor of the detailed information you'll find on Wilson Bros Gardens. When not at the Nursery, you'll find Brent working in his gardens, on the golf course, or onshore, pier, or flats fishing in Florida. He is also a voracious reader, reading 50 or more books a year on topics ranging from gardening, to science, to fiction novels. Brent was born in Terra Haute Indiana and now resides with his two kids (chihuahuas Joey and Lucy) about a mile from the Nursery in McDonough, GA.
Brooks Wilson Co-Founder
Brooks is co-founder of Wilson Bros Gardens. Brooks oversees all operations at the nursery and contributes heavily to the Internet operations. Around the nursery, his primary focus is on paying close attention to the details of plant care and organization. He is an absolute perfectionist who spends a good deal of time browsing the nursery inspecting to ensure that each and every plant is in optimum health before it is shipped. Brooks is a major contributor of the detailed information you'll find on the website. When not at the Nursery, you'll find Brooks in his own gardens planting every new plant that comes out on the market. You'll also find him on the golf course, fishing, or hanging out in the north Georgia mountains. Brooks was born in Terra Haute Indiana and now resides about 2 miles from the Nursery in McDonough, Georgia.
Spencer Young - General Manager
A long-term friend of the Wilson brothers, Spencer joined the Wilson Bros team in 2008. Before coming on board, Spencer managed several e-commerce websites in the state of Florida. These days, Spencer has his hands and mind into almost every aspect of the company, however, his primary focuses are on website management, shipping, and customer service. If you contact Wilson Bros Gardens with a question or comment, don't be surprised if Spencer answers the phone or your email. Spencer loves nothing more than to assist customers by answering any questions regarding plants and orders, and everything that entails. When not at the Nursery, you'll find Spencer hiking and snowskiing in the mountains, fishing in Florida, working in his own landscape, and building unusual things from wood and other natural resources. He is an amazing craftsman! Spencer was born in Washington, D.C. and now lives with his two dogs right across the road from the Nursery in McDonough, Georgia. Ladies, he's single and available!
Cole Cerrato - Shipping Manager
Cole joined the Wilson Bros team in 2016. In a very short period of time he grasped a massive amount of knowledge about plants and all nursery operations but took a special liking to the shipping department. Cole says "packaging is one of if not the most important parts of our business...we can do everything right to grow a premium quality plant but if it isn't packaged properly our customers might receive damaged plants...and we don't want that!" When not at the Nursery, you'll find Cole hanging out with the love of his life and his cat playing them music on his guitar. Cole was born in Taunton, Massachusetts and was raised and spent most of his time New Milford, Connecticut before moving to McDonough, Georgia.
Beth Steele - Marketing & Communications Director
Beth has been with Wilson Bros since 1998. She is a plant addict and there isn't much she doesn't know about plants and gardening. For years Beth co-managed our garden center in McDonough. Since the closing of the garden center Beth now wears many hats around the nursery but enjoys the marketing side most. She oversees our marketing and customer service department and personally creates all of our e-newsletters. When not at the Nursery, you'll find Beth hanging out with her family, her 5 grandchildren, and her cute little chihuahua named after her father Jimmy. She loves to crochet and vacation at the beach. Beth was born in Hawaii but was raised and spent most of her life in Georgia.
Johnny Smith - Packaging Manager
Johnny oversees one of the most important things we do at Wilson Bros Gardens: packaging plants. We can do an excellent job growing and caring for the plants, but if the packaging isn't right, what was a beautiful and healthy plant can end up damaged or destroyed during transit. But with Johnny there to ensure that every plant is gently packed using the highest level of packaging products and methods to ensure your plants arrive safely and in good condition - Guaranteed! When not at the Nursery, you'll find Johnny hanging out with family and friends listening to music and playing video games, of which he's equally proficient at as packaging! Johnny was born was born in Taunton, Massachusetts and now resides in Stockbridge, Georgia.
Samantha Goodman - Order Processing Manager
Samantha, who we call "Sam," processes all orders and does what we call "picking," which means she spends a lot of her time out on the nursery gathering the plants for each order. She then moves them to a staging greenhouse where she closely inspects and then waters each plant in preparation for shipping. Sam is one of the most kind and thoughtful people you will ever meet. When not at the Nursery, you'll find Sam hanging out with her family and dogs at home or at the beach. Sam was born in McDonough, Georgia and lives with her sister and mother just a short distance from the nursery.
Charles Dawson - Quality Control Manager
Charles lifelong love has always been plants, and taking care of them. So, when looking for work to keep him occupied in his soft retirement, he was naturally drawn to something to do with plants. Charles is one the most "chilled-out" person's we've ever met. When things get stressful, as they can when running any business, Charles is there to remind us all to not take things so seriously. When at the nursery you'll find Charles all over the place inspecting and caring for plants. He absolutely loves pruning and is one of the reasons why we get so many compliments on the looks of our plants. When not at the Nursery, you'll find Charles in his landscape growing and tending to plants or out throwing the frisbee with friends. Charles resides about a mile away from the nursery with his wife and daughter.
Pat Hatfield - Office Manager
Pat, or "Miss Pat" as we call her, joined the Wilson Bros team in 2001. At the Nursery, you'll find Miss Pat in the office handling all of our accounting and bookkeeping, and she does a spectacular job of it!

When not at the Nursery, you'll find Miss Pat at home as a happy homemaker taking care of her family. She's undoubtedly the best chef around the nursery and often feeds the Wilson Bros family her delicious, southern-style casseroles. Her chicken and dumplings is the best!

A good weight-loss strategy includes a few basic principles. Clean Eating, getting enough exercise, and taking time to recharge and relax are all essential for both weight maintenance and weight reduction. Tracking your progress throughout your journey is also crucial to help keep you on track.
Regular weigh-ins are an easy way to gather data on how well your approach to weight loss is working. Remember that it's okay to have occasional hiccups, as long as the overall pattern shows you're making progress!
There are times when weighing yourself would be unwise. In the 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge, we want to set you up for success! It's important to be aware of certain instances when you'd be better off avoiding the scale instead.
It can be tempting to step on the scale every day in hopes of seeing a change. Unfortunately, this can reinforce unhealthy and obsessive behaviors for some. Beyond that, it's unlikely there will be much change from one day to the next. Sticking with a weekly weigh-in is sufficient for most situations as it will give you a better view of your progress over time.
It's normal to weigh several pounds heavier at night due to the water and food we consumed throughout the day. We get our most accurate weight first thing in the morning after we've gone to the bathroom before we've eaten breakfast, and without wearing any clothes.
Hormonal changes during menstruation, and even a few days before, can cause us to retain water and bloat. This can show up as a higher number on the scale. Best to be kind to ourselves and wait until our period is over to step on the scale again.
If you haven't had a bowel movement for more than a day, the number on the scale will be higher and an inaccurate portrayal of your actual weight. Instead of stepping on the scale, drink some water, relax, and do some abdominal massage to get things moving once again.
It's normal to either be lighter or heavier after an intense workout. Due to water loss through sweat, the scale may read a lower number. On the other hand, we can experience a bit of water retention in our muscles. This is due to fluid rushing to the scene of the recently worked muscles to help them heal and get stronger.
Whether by plane or by car, traveling can disrupt the fluid balance in our body. It can also lead to constipation for some. Two good reasons to avoid the scale after a day of travel. Give your body some water, a healthy meal, and some rest instead.
We all have days when we just aren't feeling good in our body. Stepping on a scale during these times can add to stress and pressure to reach a goal faster. On rough days, it can be helpful to think of all the wonderful things our bodies can do and set the scale aside.
How you FEEL is more important than what you weight. If you're feeling good about your body, the way it looks, feels, and works, then that's enough! Don't get too caught up in the number you see, and instead, practice Clean Eating and nourishing your body so you can feel confident and enjoy life!

Pair of Multifamily Trades in Dorchester Sell for $3,735,000 via Marcus & Millichap
103 -105 Buttonwood and 112 Adams Street, Dorchester MA
DORCHESTER–John Horowitz, Regional Manager of Marcus & Millichap's Boston office, has confirmed the sales of the Buttonwood Street Portfolio and 112 Adams Street located in Dorchester. Evan Griffith, First Vice President, Investments, and Tony Pepdjonovic, Vice President, Investments, had the exclusive listings to market the properties on behalf of the legacy sellers and secured the buyers on both transactions. The assets sold for an aggregate value of $3,735,000.
103-105 and 122 Buttonwood Street is a 9 unit apartment portfolio that lies in the coveted Savin Hill neighborhood of Dorchester. Just steps away from both Andrew and JFK/UMass station, and SouthBay Shopping Center. "The fundamentals of Savin Hill and Andrew Square are incredibly strong which has caused investors and developers to flock to these neighborhoods," stated Pepdjonovic. "This growth is just the tip of the iceberg as we await the completion of 'The Beat' (former Boston Globe Headquarters), South Bay Center Project, and Washington Village. These major developments will add thousands of new jobs, housing units, and entertainment options to the area" he added.
The Buttonwood Street Portfolio was comprised entirely of one-bedroom apartments and sold for $2,215,000. The seller had owned the properties for over 40 years and the rents were significantly below market levels. The Capitalization rate at the time of the sale was 2.59%.
112 Adams Street is an 8 unit apartment building located in the Meeting House Hill neighborhood of Dorchester. The property is comprised of (6) two-bedroom units and (2) one-bedroom apartments, as well as off-street parking for six vehicles. The heat and electricity are separately metered and paid for by the tenants. "The asset is located less than a quarter of a mile from the highly anticipated Dot Block Development site which is slated to bring 488 new housing units, 30,000 square feet of much needed neighborhood-focused retail, and over an acre of public green space. Investment properties in the streets surrounding the project continue to be in high demand" stated Griffith. The property sold for $1,520,000 at a capitalization rate of 6.49%.

Most people know that slavery was foundational to the economic development of the United States in the antebellum period. Fewer people are aware that slavery was also important for American foreign policy in the period. In his book This Vast Southern Empire: Slaveholders at The Helm of American Foreign Policy (Harvard University Press, 2016), Matthew Karp examines how American slaveholders and their allies steered American diplomacy so as to preserve and expand slavery as an institution.

The following is an excerpt from a book Carrie Hetherington is writing. Carrie is in her mid 20s and has type 1 diabetes. She is amazing, full of energy, always got new ideas, started the petition on Caresens meters, now an ambassador for International Diabetes Federation (IDF), has written a book for kids newly diagnosed with type 1 and is now doing this book which isn't out yet but you get a preview with her permission… and then when it is finally published we will let you know and you can buy it and help Carrie make millions (haha)!!
"You may be a man, a woman, a teenager, or a grandparent. You might have one husband, three wives, be divorced 6 times, or be relishing and enjoying your singledom. Whatever your current situation might entail, you have probably thought about dating at some point in your life. Even if it was giving your hand in marriage to your primary school sweetheart on the netball court with daisy chains and buttercups as your bouquet; truly believing you had married your soulmate.
Some may think dating is fun, some find it exciting or awkward, and some lock themselves inside, terrified by people and the world, refusing to step outside the front gate. My dear reader, if you are unfortunate enough to fall into the latter, you may need some extra support from a more qualified source!
It doesn't matter if you live in England, New Zealand, or a yurt in the middle of Mongolia, we know that diabetes does not discriminate. When you confront dating and you have a naughty misbehaving pancreas, topped off with a reliance upon gadgets and tubing most 'normal' people have never laid eyes upon, things can begin to get tricky. Dating seems to take on a whole new dimension and questions we never previously considered somehow become the focus of our whole universe.
If you're a teenager and you add in those self conscious pangs of low esteem…ok, scrap that, it doesn't matter how old you are, that can happen to the best of us! Things can really begin to feel daunting for some people.
Most diabetics face this chronic, unpredictable little gremlin of a disease 24 hours a day, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future until that blissful cure is discovered. Until then we must smile, find a silver lining in every moment and band together in laughter. Thriving, surviving and clinging to our sanity, or what little may remain of it.
This book was written to make you giggle hysterically, grin from ear to ear…maybe even shed a tear and hold your sides. To make you feel beautiful/handsome and confident, and approach those niggling questions with gusto, knowing that most diabetics will all face them at some point along their varied journeys, and you are never alone.
If you have found the love of your life, well you can have a jolly good laugh at the ridiculous predicaments the rest of us have confessed to end up in and count your blessings that you have survived this period of your journey. Congratulations.

Hello and welcome to Altenew June 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop. We are releasing new amazing stamps and dies along with new envelopes!
You probably came from incredibly talented Rubeena Ianigro. If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at Altenew Card Blog and see what other members of Altenew design team and guest designers have created. There are so many beautiful projects from talented designers. Also you on each stop you you have a chance to win a prize.
For my first card I used the new amazing Leaf Canopy Stamp Set. And the card I made is not a very typical but a dimensional tunnel one card-shadow box. Usually I don't make such cards, but in case of this set I wanted to create a lot of dimension and layers of these leaves.
I started by stamping several branches onto a Solar White Cardstock using green inks from Green Meadows Ink Set. To make the stamped leaves a little bit more interesting I did stamping using two shades of green. First I stamped using a lighter ink. Then I applied a darker ink onto a stamp and removed some of it with a wipe and stamped again. Of course i was using a stamp positioning tool to achieve it. I created branches of two shades, darker (stamped with Hunter Green and Just Green Inks) and lighter (Just Green and Sweet Leaf Inks).
After all stamping was done I die-cut the leaves using the matching dies.
Next I cut out three panels out of Moonrock Cardstock to create a shadow box. The size of one panel was 10.75 x 4.5 and I score it at 0.75, 5.25, 6, 10.5 marks. This panel was used as the outer layer of my shadow box. The other two panels sized 5 x 4.5, scored at 0.75 and 4.75 marks. Those went inside of the box.
Using three circle dies of different sizes from Halftone Circles Die Set I die-cut three circle windows in the panels, the bigger in the outsize panel and two smaller one in the inside ones.
After that I adhered leaves branches die-cut around die-cut windows of all three panels. On this point I was placing one panel on top another to check to they will look combined together. I tried to placed leaves in different spots so they don't cover each other too much.
I also added a sentiment white embossed on a black stripe.
After I was happy with the amount and position of all leaves I assembled the box. First I adhered one inside panel flaps to the top and bottom parts of the outside part in the distance of 0.25 from the edge, then I adhered the second inside panel in 0.25 from the first one. Finally I adhered two opposite edges of the outside panel parts together to form a "box" of 4.5 x 4.5.
Also I adhered one flap to the back side to write a message on, as this is still a card, just in a shape of a box.
With one branch adhered to it to decorate a bit.
Even though in standing position this is a "box" it still can be folded and mailed in an envelope.
The size of the folded card is 4.5 x 5.25.
I don't make such cards very often as they seem to be much more work. But it's not really. Maybe a bit more work, but the result is worth it. And it took me just one letter sheet of cardstock to make this box.
The new Sweetest Peas Set is probably my very favorite from this release. I really like its style. The moment I saw it I knew i would make it in blue, gold and black.
I started by stamping flowers onto a Solar White Cardstock using Permanent Black Ink. I was using a stamp positioning tool for this and after stamping a flower I was leaving the stamp mounted in the tool. Then I was coloring a flower using Artists Markers, placing the cardstock back in the positioning tool, stamping over with Clear Embossing Ink, adding Antique Gold Embossing Powder and heat setting it.
This way, described above, I did all the flowers which were die-cut afterwards using the matching dies. To get rid of white borders that die-cutting with matching dies creates I filled the borders with black waterbased marker.
Then I adhered all the flowers onto a Jet Black Card Base.
For the sentiment I die-cut word hugs using a die from the Script Words Die Set out of Gold Mirror Cardstock once as well as out of Jet Black Cardstock several times. I cut the letter h off the all black die-cuts and then adhered all die-cuts together with the gold one on the top. Next I adhered the sentiment onto the card.
I did cutting off one letter to level the sentiment, as the beginning of it was adhered onto one flower which also had some thickness.
Lastly I added several Gold Confetti.
Now it's just the right time to start making 4th of July cards or other Americana crafts and the new Land Of The Free Set can be handy for this purpose.
I made a very simple, clean and bright card. This design can work for a home decor or some other Americana DIY too.
First I blended some Sapphire Ink onto a white cardstock and die-cut 4 using a die from Bold Numerals Die Set. After that I white embossed some stars from Land Of The Free Set.
For the letters I blended Crimson Ink onto a white cardstock, white embossed pinstripe background from the new Pinstripe Stamp Set and die-cut letters using Fine Alphabet Die Set.
I stamped the eagle using Espresso Ink and die-cut it with the matching die.
Then I adhered all elements onto a white card base.
I will also randomly choose a winner from comments left on this post and the prize will be $30 gift certificate to Altenew online store. Please leave a comment on this post by Tuesday, June 19th at 11:59 PM EST for a chance to win. I will announce the winner here in this post on 06/20/2018.
The winner of $30 Gift Certificate is Didi Roche.
The next stop in the blog hop will be TaeEun Yoo. If you got lost, please go back to Altenew Card Blog.

Inconvenient Progress in Jacksonville, FL
Real Estate is affected NOW by construction for the future
Jacksonville, FL - I can't tell you how many times we'll be driving a customer to see a home for sale only to be stopped in heavy traffic. I am not talking about Rush Hour and I am not talking about a terrible accident. I am simply talking about progress. Inevitably the customer begins to mumble under their breath about the traffic or they simply state that they can't buy a home in this area because it's so 'congested'. Ahhhh, Progress.
See, we Realtors go on to explain what is going on, the 'progress', shall we say, but the customer, on some occasions, only hears the hammering of the huge crane in the far off distance as it drives pilings into

Graduation Swim Lesson for Aiden in Jacksonville's Waterleaf Community
Friday, August 13th, 2010 at 12:09pm.
So Aiden Graduated his Swim Lesson
& it all took place in my Intracoastal Neighborhood: Waterleaf!
Jacksonville, Florida - So while we took Aiden to swim lessons the past 5 or so weeks it became clear that they were more like float lessons. This floating may be survival lessons should we ever have the misfortune to have him slip into a pool.
Perhaps as we hit the heart of the summer, reports say it'll feel like 110 degrees, we should all take a second to think about the water around our house. Its not just pools. Things as dangerous as a pond or a deep creek, a ditch during a rainstorm...all of these can take the lives of our kids.
These lessons are inexpensive and could be the difference maker.
During Aiden's graduation swim he was to

Comps and listing your home in north Florida
Things have changed for listing homes in Jacksonville, Florida in just a few short years
Before you put your home up for sale or think about listing your home, be sure to use the right comparable sales to find the perfect price with your Realtor.
What price can you sell it for? Usually about as much as the neighbors got with some exceptions. I know, I know, your home is perfect in every way and should be able to be sold for thousands above your neighbor's... I get it. Let's look at facts though and not the fact that your college-age child once took his first steps in front of that fireplace right over there!
Knowing how much homes similar to yours (the ones that don't have those first

FHA Fills in the Details of new Refi Program for shortsales
Good News for Jacksonville, Florida Home sellers & buyers
Transcript -
Hey guys Howard here from Round Table Realty.
Just wanted to talk to you a little bit about some news that just came out today.
It looks like the FHA and HUD are rolling out some details in regards to the shortsale refinancing program that is coming out later on in September of this year.
It looks like, as long as the banks play ball, whats going to happen is the banks are going to be willing to write off about 10% of the principal of the first mortgage and then the FHA is going to provide some incentives for second lien holders to play ball as well.
This could be a really good way to keep some of the
Bartram Park of Jacksonville, Florida... Full circle for this neck of the woods
Sunday, August 8th, 2010 at 4:43pm.
What is it about Mandarin/Bartram Park of Jacksonville, Florida?
A lot has changed in 20 years
Bartram Park, Jacksonville, Florida - This neck of the 'woods' is my stomping grounds as my family likes to call the area you grew up in although I didn't do much stomping as I was always undersized until college. Anyways, going back all the way to my childhood this area of Jacksonville was the 'woods'....truly. Keith (my partner at www.RoundTableRealty.com) and I used to literally sneak into the nearby cow pasture to do....well who knows what except that a couple of friends of ours swear that the farmer shot at them with Rock salt. Those were the days.
Back then you couldn't even get on I95 from Old St. Augustine Road and the Bartram area was literally
Jacksonville Fl Southside enjoys its first new High School in 20 years

Jacksonville Fl Opens Atlantic Coast High School
Jacksonville's Southside residents rejoice
One of the biggest complaints you'll hear from homeowners and prospective residents of Jacksonville's Southside is the lack of High Schools. With so many families raising kids on that side of town it was and is a blossoming problem. However, the area finally is about to unveil its first new High School in many years, Atlantic Coast High School.
With any new school comes a price tag and this one cost about $77 million. For that value, you get innovation and cutting edge fit and form, with expandable classrooms, a TV studio & a new library. Parents and students should rejoice in the new school and its terrific location for those that will attend.

Merry Christmas! Bruce's new single is free... today, so act fast!
Bruce Springsteen's New Single "Working On A Dream" Released as Free Download For One Day Only
Josh Hathaway November 24, 2008 3 Comments 28 Views
Bruce Springsteen's new album may be two months away but Christmas has come early! For one day only – November 24 – you can download the title track from the album Working On A Dream for free from the iTunes Music Store and on Springsteen's own web site. After today, the song will be available exclusively through iTunes until December 9 as a paid download.
I was getting a little surly when it looked like there would be nothing from Bruce Springsteen under my Christmas tree this year. There were rumors of a 30th anniversary re-issue of Darkness On The Edge of Town and a live CD/DVD of the Magic world tour. As weeks went by, these seemed less and less likely. Then we got news of the new album which is great, but we won't get it until January '09. With this, we get something in 2008 and we get it free! There's nothing wrong with that (although I still want those Darkness and Magic sets!).
In news related to the album, there seems to be some discrepancy about whether there will be two bonus tracks appended to the album or only one. The initial press release announcing the new album indicated both "The Wrestler" and "A Night With The Jersey Devil" would be added as bonuses to the 12-song Working On A Dream. A revised press release found online lists only "The Wrestler." Amazon still lists both, so we'll have to wait and see.
Additionally, Working On A Dream will be released as a single CD and also in a deluxe edition. The deluxe edition will include a DVD with 30 minutes of footage from the Magic world tour. Details are still sketchy, but it has been suggested by at least one longtime Springsteen observer that this might be the footage released earlier this year as part of a charity EP. Again, nothing is confirmed other than Amazon is allowing fans to pre-order a deluxe edition.
While the details are being worked and as we wait for the dust to settle, get thee to iTunes and get your free download!

Q: make typedefs incompatible Situation:
typedef int TypeA;
typedef int TypeB;
I need to make TypeA incompatible with TypeB (so any attempt to assign TypeA to TypeB would trigger compile error), while retaining all functionality provided by built-in type (operators).
One way to do it is to wrap each type into separate struct/class (and redefine all operators, etc).
Is there any other, more "elegant", way to do it?
Third party libraries are not allowed. C++0x/C++11x is not supported. (C++ 2003 is supported)
A: The only way is to create a new type (by using for example BOOST_STRONG_TYPEDEF).
A: To trigger compiler errors, you may make both types as classes. In TypeA, make a conversion operator and/or constructor that converts to/from TypeB - and make these methods private.
This way, any conversion from TypeB to TypeA would call for the conversion function, and compiler would emit error that that method is private! Ensure that you may need to write few conversion operators/constructors from/to you want conversion to happen successfully. I mean, if you want conversion from float, you need to write constructor taking float and so on for other types.
You may write conversion operators, constructors in either TypeA or TypeB, and list of allowable conversions in these classes.

Ernest's Way
By Cristen Hemingway Jaynes
Ernest Hemingway, the Nobel Prize winning author, was known as much for his prose as for his travels to exotic locales, his gusto and charm created excitement wherever he went. In Ernest's Way, we follow Cristen around the globe to the places he lived, wrote, fought, drank, fished, ran with the bulls and held court with T.S. Elliot, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein and many other influential writers, artists and intellectuals of the 20th century. Written with intimate insights, history and essential logistical information, Ernest's Way is the first comprehensive guide to the legendary author's adventures, showcasing for readers the places that shaped his life and writing. With fresh and lively prose, Cristen bings these places to life for the modern reader, allowing all who admire Hemingway's life and literature to enjoy his legacy in a new and vibrant way.
Cristen Hemingway Jaynes
Cristen Hemingway Jaynes is an American author based in London. Beginning at a young age, Cristen began to explore America—first on road trips with her mother, traveling from Seattle to Key West, then on her own by Greyhound bus and Amtrak train. The American landscape, with its roadside cafes, strip malls, and wanderers, figures prominently in her fiction. She is the author of the short story collection The Smallest of Entryways and she can be found at wwww.cristenhemingway.com.

Cristen remembers 'the chilly sunshine, the smell of warming pine needles, and the bright green cemetery,' wondering 'who was this man?' ERNEST'S WAY helps her—and her readers—answer this enduring question. Makes the gift of good books a bit easier.

Early in 1929 KS4415 was fitted with chopper couplings and vacuum brakes to allow it to be used on the thrice-weekly passenger service from Dinas to Beddgelert.
Kerr Stuart drawing 33736 shows the modifications required to fit the brake gear. The exhauster is a Blackburne 500cc engine 'complete without timing gear & other external fittings'. The project would really like to acquire one of these engines, as it is intended to re-fit the vacuum equipment to allow it to work passenger trains. According to the designers' son, Jack Willans it only ran on this duty for three or four weeks before being transferred to the Festinog Railway.
On the Festiniog it was used on the 'bottom shunter' duties between Minffordd and Portmadoc. To do so, the cab needed to but cut down, to allow the locomotive to pass through the (then) very low bridge at Rhiw Plas. This work was carried out by the Glaslyn Foundry.
Little is recorded of her time on the FR, but the epithet provided by Willans of this period perhaps says it all 'there is little to say about her, except that she was most successful and did all that was asked'.
The photos of KS4415 in Minffordd yard capture her doing 'real work', unlike the posed shots at Dinas.
Jack Willans proudly poses with KS4415 in Minffordd yard. Note the chopper couplings, side chains & vacuum pipe fitted for her brief period on the Dinas- Beddgelert winter trains, together with the cut down cab. The cylindrical silencer was another early modification, replacing the previous 'double chimney' arrangement.

An Interview with Stephanie Barko
May 28, 2013 May 30, 2013 elizabethcaulfieldfelt books, interview, marketing, writing
Today I welcome Stephanie Barko to my series of interviews. Stephanie will be presenting at the Historical Novels Society Conference as a literary publicist. In the workshop Building an Effective Platform for your Historical, Stephanie will lead attendees through her proprietary exercises that coax a book's platform to the surface. Welcome, Stephanie.
Q: What does a typical day look like in your job as a literary publicist?
A: My day begins with black coffee, a lit candle, a gratitude list and soul writing (a la Janet Conner).
After listening to a guided meditation through a headset, I clean up my email before beginning to execute client deliverables. During my day, I may be shipping galleys for pre-pub review, pitching radio producers, subcontracting for a colleague in Manhattan, or arranging a virtual tour. Depending on the season of the year, I will be working in some yoga, aqua aerobics, Tai Chi or walking to keep my brain oxygenated during the work week. I break to cook dinner and then get right back to it during the evening unless there's something I can't bear to miss on PBS.
Q: What do you like most about promoting historical novels and nonfiction?
A: My favorite task during a contract is research–researching journalists for a media list, researching the top Technorati book bloggers, or researching the best endorser candidates for a client's book. The pre-pub phase is when I can add the most value, and that's the part of a campaign I enjoy the most.
Q: What do you like the LEAST about your job?
A: Redirecting stray prospects who have queried for my services without doing their homework.
Q: What can historical novelists and nonfiction authors do to help you help THEM?
A: A good start would be to approach me with a publisher already on board, a release date, an edited manuscript, and professionally designed cover still in progress, and a list o potential or actual endorsers.
We've now reached the time in our interview for the let's-get-to-know-the-interviewee-better, nearly-pointless, sort-of-silly, rapid-fire questions:
Coffee or tea? Organic French Roast
Ocean or Mountain: Mountains of the American West
Hiking or shopping? Hiking
Violin or piano? Piano
Mystery or fantasy: Mystery
Darcy or Heathcliff? Darcy
Love scene or death scene? Death scene

Author Interview: Anne Easter Smith
May 23, 2013 May 23, 2013 elizabethcaulfieldfelt author, books, interview, reading, writing
Today I welcome Anne Easter Smith to my series of author interviews. Anne is the author of the highly acclaimed historical novels, A Rose for the Crown, Daughter of York, The King's Grace, and Queen by Right. Her recently-released Royal Mistress is the story of Jane Shore, the final mistress of King Edward IV of England. Anne will be speaking on the To Trump or Trumpet: the History Police panel at the Historical Novels Society conference.
Q: What got you first interested in historical fiction?
A: A great teacher in boarding school hooked me on history, and so when I went home during the holidays I would go to the local library and read every historical novel I could get my hands on. I was not interested in any books that did not have women in long dresses. Even today, if a book cover, TV show or movie is period, I'm instantly interested.
Q: For you, what is the line between fiction and fact?
A: I'll be talking about this on my panel at the conference. I fall into the "don't mess with history" camp. To be honest, the people I have written about couldn't have had more dramatic lives, even if I'd wanted to embellish them! I was mortified recently that a reader caught an egregious historical error that I cannot imagine not catching during the editing process. I feel a certain responsibility to my readers to not fudge the facts. After all, it was fact-fudging by Shakespeare and Sir Thomas More that got my favorite protagonist, Richard III, such a bad reputation.
Q: Do you have an anecdote about a reading or fan interaction you'd like to share?
A: Imagine my surprise when, at a reading near Albany, New York, a woman turned up dragging an 11-year-old boy with her. When I went to greet her, talking over the boy's head, and said how brave she was to come when her son was surely not there of his own volition, she said: "Oh, I'm not here to see you, Jason is. He's your biggest fan and his room is covered in English royalty genealogy charts!" Jason and I have kept up a correspondence ever since.
Q: What book was the most fun for you to write?
A: Definitely A Rose for the Crown. It's not that I haven't adored all my other protagonists, but I wrote that in my own time without any intention of letting anyone but my family read it and believed it would be my only attempt at writing a book.
Q: Can you tell us about your latest publication?
A: Royal Mistress is the fifth in my series about the York family during the Wars of the Roses. It tells the story of Jane Shore, King Edward IV's final and favorite mistress. I love that she was born into the merchant class of London, which allowed me to do a lot of research on the medieval guilds, and as she was called his "merriest" mistress by Edward himself, I knew she must have been quite a character. She had a roller-coaster of a life before and after Edward, but while she was his mistress, Jane was said to have truly been loved by the king. All the York family come into this book, including my Richard (III), although his treatment of Jane was rather harsh and forced me to look at him in a less saintly light than my first book A Rose for the Crown.

Author Interview: Kathleen Kent
May 14, 2013 elizabethcaulfieldfelt author, books, interview, reading, writing
As part of my series of interviews with Historical Novels Society Conference Speakers, I today interview Kathleen Kent. Kathleen is the author of the bestselling novels, The Heretic's Daughter and The Traitor's Wife. At the conference, Kathleen will be participating in "The Witchcraft Window: Scrying the Past" panel discussion.
Question: What got you first interested in historical fiction?
Kathleen: When I was a child, my mother gave me a book on ancient Greek artifacts. Soon after, I started reading Mary Renault's books and historical fiction became my time machine to the past.
Question: How do you find the people and topics of your books?
Kathleen: My first two books, The Heretic's Daughter and The Traitor's Wife were based on my 9 times great grandmother, Martha Carrier, who was hanged as a witch in Salem in 1692. I grew up hearing stories of Martha and her family.
Question: Do you have an anecdote about reading or fan interaction you'd like to share?
Kathleen: For the release of my second book, The Traitor's Wife, I had a launch event in Salem, Mass. Over 250 fellow descendants of Martha Carrier—from all over the U.S.— attended to share their personal histories and stories that they had heard about Martha and her husband, Thomas Carrier.
Question: Can you tell us about your latest publication?
Kathleen: My third novel, The Outcasts, will be published this October. Set in 1870 Texas, the story follows both a young Texas State Policeman on the hunt for a serial killer, and a woman fleeing a life of prostitution to pose as a school teacher in a small Texas town.
Thanks, Kathleen! For more about Kathleen Kent, visit her website, http://kathleenkent.com/
HNS Interview: Heather Webb
May 9, 2013 elizabethcaulfieldfelt author, books, interview, reading, writing
Over the next few weeks, I will be featuring some of the speakers scheduled to present at the Historical Novels Society Conference June 21-23 in St. Petersburg, Florida. Today I welcome Heather Webb, who will be on a panel discussing the "Virtual Salon: Historical Fiction Blogs" at the conference. This is my second interview with Heather Webb. You can read the first interview here.
Heather: I've been fascinated by history all my life–the clothes, the gadgets (or lack there of), and the evolution of the human story. I credit my parents for much of this interest. My dad loved old epic movies like Ben Hur and Cleopatra, westerns, and war films, and my mom enjoyed museums, so my siblings and me spent loads of time learning about the past.
Heather: My book topics are based on people who have always fascinated me. Also, I stumble upon new gems by accident during my research of a current project.
Question: Do you follow a specific writing and/or research process?
Heather: I research for at lease a couple months first and flesh out an outline and character maps. From there, I begin writing scenes and continue to research as I go.
Question: For you, what is the line between fiction and fact?
Heather: Gross errors of important dates that define a person's life within the novel is the only thing I'd watch for. Otherwise, to me, fiction is fiction. Fact is fact. Writers are artists with their own interpretation of how events unfolded, the emotions and thoughts of the characters. It frustrates me to see people attack each other over differing elements in historicals. So what if the relationship may or may not have happened? It sure is fun to read and dream about. Factual accounts (which is impossible as none of us lived during these times that we write about), are nonfiction, not fiction.
Question: Where do you feel historical fiction is headed as a genre?
Heather: I think crossover elements will become more popular–fantasy elements, women's fiction themes, mysteries and thrillers, rather than classic historical biographies or war novels.
Question: Is there an era/area that is your favorite to write about? How about to read?
Heather: I love to write about late 18th-19th century France. Revolutions, whether through war or in ideologies are fascinating to me and France's history is rich in revolts of every kind. I love to read any era, as long as I fall in love with the characters. Right now I'm on an early 20th century kick.
Question: What are your favorite reads? Favorite movies? Dominating influences?
Heather: Favorite reads change over time for me and they aren't all historical, but right now I'd say: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and The Painted Girls by Cathy Marie Buchanan. As for favorite films, my list is long, but I love artsy French films and most versions of those based on Jane Austen's books. I could throw in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Silverlinings Playbook and the like, or the odd superhero film and I'm happy as a clam.
Question: Is there a writer, living or deceased, you would like to meet?
Heather: Josephine Bonaparte! But so so many more! I couldn't possibly name them all.
Heather: My debut Becoming Josephine be lead title for Plume/Penguin in January 2014 and has already been mentioned in The Wall Street Journal. I can't tell you how excited I am! After years of hard work, it's a dream come true! I bet Empress Josephine would be so pleased. 🙂

Catalyst Australia congratulates Murdoch University with the successful launch of their Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) to a new fully managed hosting environment.
Murdoch University, one of Western Australia's premier higher education institutions, has been delivering course content using Moodle LMS since 2013. With thousands of courses on offer and a 24x7 activity pattern, Moodle is a mission critical application.
Murdoch approached Catalyst in late 2015, as they were looking to move away from their existing Moodle managed hosting provider so that they could take more ownership of their Moodle, and work with Learning Delivery teams inside the University to deliver better academic outcomes.
As part of the infrastructure consulting services that Catalyst offers our clients, we worked together with Murdoch infrastructure and application team members – and were able to architect an internally-managed solution for the Murdoch Moodle. This runs on Murdoch's existing High Availability virtual infrastructure.
GoCD Continuous Deployment / Continuous Integration solution, empowering Murdoch to perferm push-button applicationdeployments of their Moodle. Meaning they can concentrate on the improvements they want to the platform, without being bogged down by the deployment process.
Long round of multi-iteration Moodle performance testing and subsequent tuning based on authentic usage patterns that were derived from a comprehensive data collection phase.
A review of existing Moodle code base, including an audit of Murdoch's student management and authentication integration channels.
On site git training for the technical team.
The new internally-housed Murdoch Moodle went live in Feb 2016, with the complete project roll out period being less than three months. A great achievement and a credit to the focus and drive of the Murdoch team.
We are now seeing the LMS power through its first test of semester-level usage patterns as the class of 2016 launched themselves into active study. During the last week, Murdoch's Moodle has seen in excess of 225k page views per day, with peak load periods seeing up to 900 concurrent user sessions.
Catalyst wishes Murdoch all the best for 2016. We're sure that there are great innovations ahead.

Log Cabin Pancake House was by no means the best restaurant we tried during our stay in Gatlinburg, however, it is a good option for tourists looking for a quick, affordable restaurant near all the Gatlinburg attractions.
I would definitely recommend Hard Rock Cafe to any tourist looking for an upbeat restaurant with a wide variety of menu choices. Hard Rock is the ideal choice in Gatlinburg for a casual, lively dining experience with family or friends, and the perfect choice before/after your other Gatlinburg events and activities.
The restaurant has an appealing log cabin style design, which fits in well with the overall theme of Wilderness Resort. The holiday decorations added to the appeal.
Saffire can be cozy, and your favorite neighborhood eatery. It can also be the place in Franklin that you take your out of town guests, for either brunch, lunch, or maybe just a cocktail.

Q: jdbc is returning 1 for no update to the record in executeBatch() I have a mysql query like this
INSERT INTO table (col1, col2, col3) VALUES ('val1','val2','val3') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE col1=VALUES(col1),STATUS=1
I am using executeBatch() in JDBC to insert multiple records, if record already exists updating status column and some other values. Table has last_updated column also.
For new record insertion jdbc returning 1 and 2 for updating, but it is returning 1 for no update to the record also. I am getting 0 rows affected if I manually executed that query with same values.
String usersToConvquery = "INSERT INTO ne_ms_conversation_users (conversationId, userId, role) VALUES (?,?,?) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE role=VALUES(role),STATUS=1";
stm = connection.prepareStatement(usersToConvquery);
for (long userId : users) {
stm.setString(1, conversationId);
stm.setLong(2, userId);
stm.setInt(3, 3);
stm.addBatch();
}
int[] insertCount = stm.executeBatch();
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(insertCount));
A: The MySQL Connector/J drivers by default returns the number of 'found' rows that have been inserted or updated, even if none of the values changed, see useAffectedRows (which defaults to false) connection property documentation:
Don't set the CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS flag when connecting to the server
(not JDBC-compliant, will break most applications that rely on "found"
rows vs. "affected rows" for DML statements), but does cause "correct"
update counts from "INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE" statements to
be returned by the server.
Interestingly, the JDBC specification is silent on the exact meaning of the return count (although it may be checked by the TCK), however it is true that for some database systems 'affected rows' == 'found rows', because they will update irrespective of the old values (if only to get the right transactional behavior), and it is also true that a lot of applications rely on updateCount > 0 meaning the row already exists.
The MySQL documentation on INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE says:
With ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, the affected-rows value per row is 1
if the row is inserted as a new row, 2 if an existing row is updated,
and 0 if an existing row is set to its current values. If you specify
the CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS flag to the mysql_real_connect() C API
function when connecting to mysqld, the affected-rows value is 1
(not 0) if an existing row is set to its current values.
You might also want to look at connection property compensateOnDuplicateKeyUpdateCounts, which will simply make all executions of such a statement return update count 1.

If you happen to trace roots of the beginning of human race to tell culture mainly people and their culture are inseparable. There are a number of outstanding features that make the Ankole people arguably one of the most ethnically exciting and rich group of people.
There are two main aspects of the Ankole culture and that is cattle and land tilling. These lay a mark on the diversity within the Ankole culture that any stranger may get a thought that Ankole comprises of two tribes. One side behaves in a completely dissimilar manner as compared to the other however this distinction is an expression of diversity and also referred to as a coat of many colors. This immersion of culture will leave you with pleasure and wonders just as you experience the layers of culture in the Ankole region.
The Bahima – cattle herders
This emanates from a native mythology linking the long-horned Ankole to the demi-gods known as the BaChwezi. They were thought to live in caves in the underground but moved the whole earth looking for people with compassion, candor, warmth and inclination on the Ankole cow. According to a local myth, one of the princesses of these gods moved upstairs to get water and eventually she was struck by the beauty and attractiveness of a good looking man who she fell in love with. The princess invited the man home and they got married officially and when time reached for going back on earth, they were rewarded by the gods who gave them a number of gifts which included the long horned Ankole cows. This meant that anyone that can win the heart of a divine princess was worth to look after sublime cows, said the half gods.
The focal element for the survival and daily sustenance of these people has been the long horned cattle right from the break of the day to the evening hours. Their routine involves getting up early in the morning; go for milking which is done with bare hands which is followed by setting the cows to graze. The herders let the cows roam around the grasslands in the morning, mid-day hours and in the afternoon; the herder takes the cows to water. The story of this custom gives you an impression of the simplistic life but requires one day to elaborate the science that has remained in the domain of few people but is worth a pause and stand in admiration.
Besides looking after cows, the typical lifestyle of the Bahima people derive their survival in terms of income on also making and selling of animal products. These include products that are partial to the Bahima people and aren't found in other animal rearing community like the "eshabwe" a native royal pudding that is an exceptional delicacy, "ekyanzi" that is reserved for the royals and is made from ghee, "obutahe" which is a body perfumed cream that is also made out of ghee.
The cultivators
A woman, her hoe and a child strapped around her back makes a typical sight in the cultivating communities of the Ankole region. Work is mainly done in the morning hours before the sun makes its strong set as women do the digging with hoes and work until it is too hot. They travel long distances to work and work varying hours of the day. Most of the trading centers in the Ankole area are run by men from cultivating communities who do trade sometimes near their homes and away from home. The staple crops are maize, cassava, potatoes, matooke and beans.
The men from the cultivating communities generally do trade, sometimes near home and at times away and far from home. The trading centers in the Ankole areas are for the most part run by men from these cultivating communities. Women grow and provide for the food in the homes whilst men bring in the other household necessities. The main staple crops are maize, cassava, matooke, potatoes, beans and millet. Crops are grown all year round thus work is all year round.
Some of the remarkable customs include:
The dress code
The Ankole herdsmen dress like the Masai men with multi-colored wrappers that are common during hot seasons to support splendor and easiness. They usually put on their attire with a straw hat as young men prefer toupees. In a rainy season the attire becomes a warmer and currently jeans might go through the savannah grazing lands.
The Bahima ladies are ever in elegant clothes that consists mainly traditional clothes of ekitambi, eshuka and omwenda that are a combination of the African version of the Indian sari with a mantle thrown over the ladies shoulders and the cover the whole body.
Whereas the cultivating Ankole men do not have a unique dress code other than on occasions where they put on their traditional garment known as the ekanzu and women do dresses.
Their marriage
The Bahima have diverse marriages and one is expected to go into marriage at a minimum age of 16 years. It is the duty of the intending groom to choose a suitable bride and this is followed by a number of negotiations with the family of the potential bride. There are a number of ceremonies and rituals that are held until the final dowry is accepted though it's no longer a strict norm. The bride and groom do not see each other until the day of marriage. Polygamy is a reflection of a lot of wealth among the cattle herders and divorce is a rarity among the Bahima.
These have always been a crown to every family in the Ankole land as they are regarded to as a blessing. For any married couple to be confirmed they are expected to have children and in case there is delayed childbirth in a married couple, a suspicion of child barrenness always comes up.
The first born enjoys most of the privileges over the other siblings and inheritance is always passed onto the heir. A son receives preferential treatment and in case there are no sufficient resources to take the kids to school, girls will be passed over and the chance is given to a boy.
These people do not boast of world class designs as they have always set up their residential houses with a practical usage in their mind than for display. Before the modern tents were invented in the Banyankole, they had started the art of making circular huts out of grass and sticks. These materials were common among the Ankole communities, easy to find and put up a shelter in less than half a day and also put up a shelter that could last for years. On the other hand cultivating communities opt for similar style of building though theirs were mainly made of wattle and sticks. There are numerous distinctions between the cow herding and the cultivating communities in regard to housing estates. Bahima mainly live in collective quarters, which are chiefly centered on the hut of the head of the family.
This is a staple of the Ankole people that consists of millet bread which is consumed with relish. Millet is traditionally is stored in silos that are built out of wattle and daub. These are set up in an oval shape and lie behind of the head of the family and these can store millet up to four years.

If you haven't already: Please submit your comments today!
A key component of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the requirement that all insurance plans offered through the exchanges must cover, at a minimum, a number of Essential Health Benefits. Mental health is one of these Essential Health Benefits (EHB) that must be included.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is tasked with promulgating regulations for how the EHB will be designed and implemented. The EDC is asking HHS to incorporate three recommendations into the EHB: 1) eating disorders should be specifically listed in the EHB, 2) all levels of treatment including residential treatment, as recommended by the APA Guidelines, should be part of the EHB, and 3) the definition of medical necessity should be broad and inclusive so that insurers cannot assign medical necessity at random.
Please add your voice by sending comments to HHS ) you urge them to support these above 3 recommendations and 2) some of your personal experience that underscores why these recommendations are important. For example: maybe you personally benefited from successful residential and/or other treatment ---include that in your comments. If you were denied residential and/or other treatment ---include that, and the consequences of being denied, in your comments. And include anything else about your experience or expertise that underscores the need for these 3 recommendations. We know that personal stories matter to HHS.
Please then send an email to kmacdonald@eatingdisorderscoalition.org to inform us that you sent your comments.Thanks so much for taking a few minutes out of your day to make an important difference. Together we will improve the lives of those suffering from eating disorders!
o Ensuring access to comprehensive specialized eating disorder care, across all levels of care including outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, residential, and inpatient, will allow individuals to access adequate, effective, evidence-based care in specialized settings, and decrease their need to access less specialized, less effective, more emergent medical and psychiatric care. Decreasing use of high-cost emergent and/or on-going use of inadequate care will balance comprehensiveness and affordability. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of all psychiatric illness. Including comprehensive eating disorders treatment in EHB will safe lives.
· Eating disorders affect up to 25 million Americans, across all age, gender, SES, and ethnicity groups. Ensuring access to treatment will have an appropriate balance across the population of sufferers, many who, without adequate access to specialty care would unduly access inappropriate, inadequate, but costly, care.
o Eating disorders do not discriminate. Eating disorders affect up to 25 million Americans, from as young as age 8 through the lifespan. Without adequate access to effective, specialized care, many end up seeking disability coverage due to their illness.
o Insurance policies that include adequate and comprehensive access to specialized and comprehensive eating disorder care at all levels of treatment offer their members the opportunity for full recovery. Many insurers currently offer this type of coverage to their members. This type of treatment access is effective in successful treatment and resolution of the eating disorder. A fully recovered individual contributes to the workforce, is a productive and successful member of society.
o As advances in eating disorders treatment are made, updates to essential health benefits should be related to clinical utility and integration of research findings.

The phrase "going green" has become more and more common the last few years as Americans increase their knowledge of and efforts toward helping our environment. The most familiar methods of going green include things such as recycling, walking or biking instead of driving a car, etc. One of the current goals of the City of Toccoa is to help educate citizens on easy ways to "go green" and help both our local and global environment.
Each of us can take simple steps to improve our environment, and the City of Toccoa hopes residents will be mindful of how each of our actions affect our surroundings.
This section of our website lists some of the easy ways to "go green" and provides links to in-depth information.
Friendly Neighbors: Carpooling and using public transportation reduces emissions, saves gas (and money), not to mention you can get to know the locals! Find a carpool near you.
Free Stuff: FreeCycle is not a charity or a business. It's a way for perfectly good used items to find a new home (other than the landfill). Instead of throwing out things like furniture, dishes, bikes, and electronics, people in a reuse group give these items away for free to other people in their community who can use them. Find a local reuse group.
Cut Your Fridge Waste: Probably the most effective way to keep your food costs down is to simply eat what you bought. make your dinner tonight out of whatever you already have on hand. You may be surprised with the unexpected meal you can devise. If you do this a few times a week, you'll keep your refrigerator clean, your food bills down and best of all, keep that food (and it's containers) out of the garbage.
Go Veggie at Least Once A Week: Most deforestation in the world is due to fields cleared for livestock grazing. Methane from cattle is a huge global warming contributer. Cutting down on meat consumption can make a huge impact. There are plenty of non-meat recipes that make for great meals that everyone in the family can enjoy with some simple some planning.
Green Birthday Parties: Invitations can announce the green-theme party. If gifts are involved, suggest that guests wrap them in reused newspaper (like the comic section) Use reusable plastic plates and utensils or those made from recycled materials. For decorations, try small plants, flowers, or even nice smelling, fresh herbs. After the party, give a plant to the guests to take home, for them to plant and enjoy.
Put Ticks in Their Place: Although you don't want to douse your pet in toxins, it is important to keep bugs in check. Pets can carry ticks that may carry Lyme Disease (a serious disease that attacks the nervous system). Be sure to seek sound advice from your vet on keeping ticks away from your family and pets.
Avoid Aerosols: Aerosols can't be recycled--which means that they are guaranteed to end up in landfills--and some of their ingredients contribute to air pollution. Instead of aerosols, look for spray bottles, liquids, powders, and roll-ons.
Better Off Boycotted: Choose something that you feel is not good for the environment. Once you decide not to buy it, write a letter to the company's president (the address is often right on the package) and tell him or her why you have decided not to buy the product anymore. If lots of people did this, companies would start making more environmentally responsible products!
BYOB: Bring your own bags to the grocery store. Disposable plastic grocery bags clog landfills at a rate of several million per day. This goes for sandwich bags too. When packing a lunch for work or school, replace the plastic sandwich bags with a reusable container. Free, reusable bag patterns.
Cold is Cool: There are detergents on the market that don't need warm or hot water to get your clothes clean. This will save you money and will keep CO2 out of the air.
Reuse, Reuse, Reuse: Reusing items helps products find a second (or third, or tenth, or one hundredth) use to prolong its life - which also saves money. Craigslist, eBay, FreeCycle or Goodwill are all great places to go online or to shop.

Contemporary Review / Review
Posted on August 19, 2016 by filmicmag Leave a comment
by Justin Madore It started with a simple concept. What if food had feelings? Although the idea for the film started this way, it grew into something much more complex. Sausage Party has been the talk of the Internet for a while now thanks to an incredible and shocking reveal trailer, with cinephiles and casual moviegoers eagerly salivating for a chance to digest the newest film from Seth Rogen and company. Pitched as the first R-rated CG animated comedy, it could've merely been just that — a gimmick movie. However, it's usually not that simple with Rogen, who excels at injecting thoughtfulness into what could've been another crass cinematic piece of junk in the hands of another.
Sausage Party tells the story of a hot dog named Frank (Rogen) and a bun named Brenda (Wiig). Frank and Brenda live in a supermarket, and everyday they pray that they'll be chosen by the gods to enter the "Great Beyond." All of the food in the supermarket conduct their lives based on a song written about the Great Beyond, which covers how they'll only enter eternity if they follow a strict set of rules. However, when bad things start happening, Frank starts to question the notion of the Great Beyond. As you can probably tell, Sausage Party is heavily satirical of religion, and it's surprisingly reflective on the subject as well. The different types of food each represent different belief systems and nationalities from around the world. It's comical to watch Kareem Abdul, a Middle Eastern lavash (voiced by David Krumholtz), argue with Sammy the Jewish bagel (Edward Norton), and the conflicting theologies simultaneously help ground the jokes in reality while giving the viewer some food for thought (pun intended). Additionally, it's worth noting that while the film has a definite atheist slant, it never goes so far as to condemn any kind of religion.
The cleverness of Sausage Party really begins at its aesthetic. It lampoons the celebrated films of Pixar and Dreamworks by mirroring their appearance. In his theatrical directorial debut, Greg Tiernan uses the skills he's been honing for years working on over 30 different Thomas the Tank Engine projects, while Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2 & Monsters vs. Aliens) lends the "Dreamworks look." The result is smooth animation that is indistinguishable from a children's program. Pairing the visuals with a warm and unthreatening soundtrack further plays to the technique that is so essential to the film's success.
The animation is used to execute visual gags, which helps vary the jokes. In one scene (parodying the opening of Saving Private Ryan) where food falls out of a shopping cart, our hero, Frank (Rogen), is disoriented as he sees a broken can of spaghetti desperately shovelling its "innard" noodles back into itself as well as a can of peanut butter sobbing over the broken remains of a glass jar of jelly. In addition, without spoiling anything, the ending provides one of the most ludicrous visual gags I've ever seen — it genuinely had me rolling in my seat. The contrast between the chosen aesthetic and the vulgarity of the jokes is what raises the humor to another level.
Anyone who knows the crew behind the Rogen/Apatow collection of films knows how crude they are, and Sausage Party is just as crude as the rest of them, if not more so. The dialogue is full of constant cursing, sexual innuendos, and countless endorsements of a variety of drugs. The script keeps the crass jokes coming at a continuous rate that doesn't let up for more than a handful of minutes at a time, and the result is often hilarious. There is a stretch toward the middle of the film where the humor becomes too repetitive, though. The constant swearing becomes tedious and there aren't any sight gags to relieve you of the overwhelming amount of profanity, as the writers definitely display an over-reliance on the novelty of a hot dog saying "fuck."
Despite this shortcoming, Sausage Party is anything but one-note. As with most of Rogen's films, there are layers throughout. The aforementioned contrast of aesthetics and jokes parodies popular children's films and the commentary on religion and belief systems gives the story the substance it needs to be more than just your typical raunchy comedy. But most importantly, it's a funny movie, which is ultimately the bar on which comedies should be judged. After a bit of a lull, the Apatow Mafia has delivered their best film since 2013's This is The End.

- I began coaching cross country at Herrick in 2009 when long time coach, Mr. Bruce Takacs, retired. I have also coached Track at Herrick and football and basketball at other schools before I began working at Herrick. One of the Herrick track teams I coached won the conference title!
My background - I wasn't much of a runner growing up. I mostly played football and basketball. Several years ago I decided to try to get back in shape and train to run a 5K. This experience lead me to want to coach cross country. One of the things I enjoy most about coaching cross country is helping non-runners (like I used to be) to become runners. I've been blessed to coach some great athletes and a lot of hard workers. The picture to the left is me running in The Bonfield Express a few years ago. I'm the guy in the HMS sweatshirt with the crazy horns on his head.
2018 - 7th and 8th Grade Boys - Franklin Invitational Winners!! 1st time in the history of the meet.
2015 - CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS AT ALL 4 LEVELS!
2013 - 7th Grade Runner, Nick Eshghy, won the Franklin Invitational - First time a Herrick runner has ever won!
2012 - 8th Grade Boys Finished 2nd place in the Conference. We lost by only a few points.
I hope this never happens at one of our meets!!

Matthew Weaver, 21, has been missing since August 10, 2018 from Granada Hills where he recently moved to after moving out of his stepmother, Brooke Tipton's house in Simi Valley, California. He was last seen about 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 10 in the 2600 block of Stearns Street in Simi Valley, California. There are strange circumstances that lead up to his disappearance.
The family stated to Dateline that Matthew drove to a female friend's house just after midnight to pick her up, and the pair partied together for the next few hours. He dropped her off at 4:30 a.m. on Friday.
His silver BMW was spotted at Saddle Peak and Stunt roads and security cameras caught it heading past a gate and down a remote road called Topanga Tower Motorway, in Calabasas around 7:15 a.m. He had also posted a SnapChat video of the view from the trail around 5:30 a.m.
On August 11, around 11:30 a.m., according to his family, Weaver sent a text to the same friend he had been with the night before that read "Like some crazy is going onsh** is going on [sic]." Followed by another text that read "I jusst to talk while i have the chance [sic]." The friend asked if he was alright and he never answered.
On August 11, hikers hearing cries for help from female and male voices called the police. As police searched for where the cries came from, they found Matthew's car at the Topanga Tower Motorway hanging off a cliff, according to KTLA, near Rosas Overlook above the Backbone Trail and Hondo Canyon. He cellphone also put his location in the area of Rosas Outlook, KTLA reported.
Weaver was last seen wearing black dickie pants, a white or black plain shirt, an Angels baseball cap and red sneakers. He has hazel eyes and brown hair and is described as being 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds.
A $50,000 reward is being offered.

What Does 64-bit OS Mean – Works, Pros & Cons
By Puja Chatterjee / Tips
What does 64-bit OS mean? A 64-bit operating system is that which has the ability to process data at 64 bits as one single unit or memory cycle. This operating system is considered to be much better than 8, 16 or 32- bit operating systems.
Today, most of the desktop and laptop computers can support 64-bit operating systems and are therefore, called 64-bit machines. However, this does not mean that the 32-bit, 16-bit and 8-bit microprocessors are obsolete. In fact, there are countless of these manufactured each year.
Since a 64-bit operating system is designed to process 64 bits at a time, it means that a 64-bit operating system will not function when it is used in a 32-bit system. On the other hand however, a 32-bit operating system will perform in a 64-bit computer.
64-bit actually is the bit count, which is the smallest unit of information or data available on a computer. The 64-bit operating system processes or transmits this data in parallel.
This means that a single component in a data presentation will use these many number of bits while the data is being processed by the operating system.
Sometimes the term 64-bit may be used in combination with a microprocessor. When this is done, it implies the width of the registers. These registers are special storage areas that performs at a very high speed and are located within the CPU.
All 64-bit microprocessors and operating systems can process memory addresses and data that are characterized by 64 bits. This is a specific term that is more commonly applied to:
Microprocessors to indicate the width of the registers
Graphics devices such as digital cameras and scanners and
Operating systems, when it refers to the number of bits used primarily to signify the memory addresses.
At this juncture, it is important to note that a 64-bit computer or an operating system does not mean it will be twice as fast as a 32-bit operating system.
In fact, for specific brands, the difference perceived in the performance of a 32-bit and a 64-bit operating system and computer may be negligible. It is not simple math but complex technology.
The term 64 bit represents the word size and it involves only one facet of the operating system and its internal processing. The entire functionality of the operating system will depend on other important components of the computer as well such as:
The clock speed of the CPU
The speed of storage units
The type and specification of the RAM
The I/O and
The peripheral bus.
All these components will govern the throughput of the computer.

Ideally, a 64-bit operating system has the ability to deal with more memory and larger address bus of a 64-bit computer system as compared to its 32-bit counterpart. When you compare it with other operating systems and computers you will see that:
The operation of a 32-bit operating system is restricted to 4 GB RAM
A 9th generation 65-bit Intel i9 processor can handle up to 128 GB and
A 3rd generation 64-bit Mac Pro will support 1.5 terabytes of RAM.
However, please note that all these comparisons are made on the basis of the RAM and not the storage of the different operating systems.
Windows operating systems typically comes in both these versions, 32-bit and 64-bit. The unique feature of a 64-bit Windows operating system is that it can also run a lot of 32-bit apps. Check out differences between 32-bit and 64-bit operating system.
What Does 64-bit OS Mean?
A 64-bit operating system handles 64 bits of data at a time and is intended to exploit a 64-bit hardware, especially the processor. A 64-bit computing is therefore, referred to a combination of a 64-bit operating system and a 64-bit processor.
There are actually two folders in a 64-bit operating system, especially that of Windows, the most popular OS as of now. These folders are:
32-bit location, which is indicated as C:\Program Files (x86) \ and
64-bit location, which is denoted as C:\Program Files\.
It can process 8 bytes of data simultaneously and the maximum addressable memory can extend up to hundreds of gigabytes for high-end work stations and hundreds of terabytes for high-end servers and mainframes.
However, there is no computer designed as of now that can support the maximum addressable memory of a 64-bit memory address register.
It is just the fact that the bigger computer servers led this transition in the operating system and in its architecture. This allows the 64-bit operating systems to access large amounts of memory.
As for the mobile devices and personal computers, a 64-bit architecture is helpful because it needs to transfer larger amount of data at a time with a single instruction. It helps in transmitting them faster.
Most of the modern operating systems are termed as 64-bit systems. For example, you will get both Windows Vista and Windows 7 in 64-bit version. You will also get the Snow Leopard of Mac as a 64-bit system.
This implies that the 64-bit systems are growing in popularity and usage and is out to replace the old 32-bit systems gradually. This is because:
These modern operating systems have a much greater ability and more unique features that will help the users in accessing and managing the memory of the computer.
These features also allow the 64-bit operating systems to run and handle more complex and intensive processes and at the same time run much faster than the 32-bit operating system.

If you want to have a better understanding of a 64-bit operating system then you should begin with the basic unit of measurement of computing data, which is called the bit.
Bit is the short form for the terms 'binary digit.' This is the simplest and smallest unit of data that a computer, or the processor in particular, can process. A bit can be either 0, or 1 only. This is because, at the simplest level, all computer data comprises of strings of 0s and 1s only.
The number of bits of the operating system or the computer indicates the word size that it can deal with at any given time.
If the word size or bit is larger, it means that the operating system can handle larger number of data that is represented in 0s and 1s. This further means that it will be able to handle more files that contain large number of data.
Apart from that, the features of the 64-bit operating system will enable it to access as much as 17.2 billion gigabytes of memory. This is a lot more RAM as compared to the 4 GB limit of a 32-bit system. Most of the hardware and software applications of today hardly needs that much of data to be handled.
Some of the key features of this operating system includes:
It has 16 instead of 8 general purpose registers
It has an additional SSE register
It has an NX or no execute bit that helps it to prevent attacks resulting from a buffer overrun.
Therefore, it can be said that a 64-bit operating system is way ahead of the present times. Operating at a much faster speed than a 32-bit operating system, a 64-bit OS is future proofed for several years to come.
The 64-bit operating system will process 64 bits of information and data at a time. It will make the best use of its architecture to handle such a large amount of data and address a larger memory. The working process of this operating system is dependent on two specific components as follows:
The operating system works on the basis of its larger width of the data bus. This helps it to address larger width of the data word.
The processor also plays a significant role in its operation. This helps the operating system to retrieve the desired number of data in a single memory cycle.
However, the width of the address bus may not necessarily use the number of bits that uniquely defines the particular memory addresses. In fact, most of the 64-bit operating systems and computers can only address 48 bits.

1. Memory accessing ability
One of the most significant advantage of a 64-bit operating system is that it can access large amount of memory in a single memory cycle.
2. Better performance
It has better performing ability and is especially good for the new computers. It has a better and faster transfer rate which enhances its performance and provides it with the ability to access more data files.
3. Lot of support
The 64-bit operating system will provide a lot of support allowing you to do a lot of things at the same time. You will be able to use a RAM that is much more than 4 GB and therefore, boost the performance of the system.
You can open more than four tabs in Chrome, make videos, process a lot of data, track enormous amount of inventory, and hold all data in a larger memory.
4. Pointer types
A 64-bit system will have 64-bit pointer types. This will permit simulated address assortments that is much larger than 4 GB in size. In fact, it is 2^64 or 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 distinct addresses. This is called 16 Exabytes.
5. Native integer
You will also get a 64-bit native integer to use. This will make arithmetic or logical operations such as C's much faster.
6. Limited application
The 64-bit operating system will not support all applications. It will also not support an old 32-bit system. This will create a lot of confusion for the users if they use a 64-bit operating system in a 32-bit computer.
7. Limited functions
You will not be able to perform a few specific functions such as reading mails and watching videos smoothly using this operating system. For these types of activities, a 32-bit operating system is more suitable.
8. Run slower
The 64-bit operating system will run comparatively slower overall. This is because it will use more memory that will take up double the space due to the length of memory addresses and therefore the programs to use will have less memory available to operate.
9. Compatibility
In order to use a 64-bit operating system, you must have compatible hardware in your computer. This includes the processor and device drivers for all hardware in the computer that must be 64-bit themselves or else the operating system will not work.
A 64-bit operating system will help you to process large amount of data in quick time. Several applications will get the benefit of such big data usage.

The chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells play an antileukemia role, and can be used to treat or prevent relapse by targeting minimal residual disease for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, the infusion of allogeneic CAR-T cells may also cause graft-versus-host disease, which limited their applications during and after allo-HSCT. In this review, we discuss the clinical trials that applying CAR-T cells before allo-HSCT and the use of donor-derived CAR-T cells as conditioning regimen during allo-HSCT. At last, we analyzed the effect of donor-derived CAR-T cells on preventive infusion after allo-HSCT.

What's next now that Scotland has said 'no' to independence?

Scotland and the United Kingdom seemed bound for a breakup last Thursday (Sept. 18), but stepped back from the brink. By a 55-45 percent vote, the Scots rejected independence. Brian Gaines is a political scientist at Illinois who has taught British politics and supervised a program that sent undergraduates to intern in the British Parliament. He even has Scottish roots through a grandfather. Gaines discussed the independence vote with News Bureau social sciences editor Craig Chamberlain.
First, some basics: Americans often use England, Great Britain and United Kingdom interchangeably. Can you explain what the U.K. is? And how does this arrangement of four countries - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - differ from that of the American federal government and its states?
England is by far the largest of these countries, and it absorbed - or was "united with" - Wales, Scotland, and the neighboring island of Ireland between the16th and 19th centuries. In 1922, the south of Ireland seceded, following a violent rebellion, leaving the modern state as the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" (Great Britain being the island that contains England, Scotland, and Wales).
Legally, the UK is the sovereign nation state, but sports fans can be excused some confusion, because the four countries field separate teams for international competitions in sports such as soccer, rugby, curling, and cricket, though not for the Olympics.
In the late 1990s, the national (U.K.) government devolved power to regional governments in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, but not England. That asymmetry, and the fact that power was granted from above, not centralized from below, distinguishes American federalism from the ongoing British experiment in devolution.
Did you think the vote would go as it did? And if so, why?
A week before, I thought the "No" side (against independence) would win, but I was far from certain. It wasn't a simple forecast, because it wasn't obvious which way polls would err. Pollsters always worry about "socially desirable" responses - people saying what they think the pollster wants to hear or what others regard as the more respectable answer, rather than reporting their true intentions.
Scots might have felt pressured to express nationalism or to demonstrate prudent restraint, or neither. Most polls showed a large "No" lead until mid-August, when the "Yes" support surged. A YouGov poll from Sept. 6 was the first to show "Yes" ahead, though within the margin of error, and it was blamed for causing a sharp drop in the value of the British pound. But the final polls from YouGov and others matched the eventual outcome well.
What were the central issues for Scots seeking independence? And for those who voted against it?
The "Yes" (pro-independence) campaign promised an economic boom, but also stressed differences in public opinion between Scots and the English. They painted a picture of Scotland as a potential Norway or Sweden - richer, more generous than England in social benefits, more equal, and further from the U.S. in foreign affairs.
The "No" camp stressed that divorce would harm both parties, but Scotland most of all. Disinterested observers mostly backed up the forecast that separation would be costly, but appeals to self-determination and Scotland's distinct national character seemed to be drowning out the duller economic arguments from the summer until the final week of the campaign.
What are the likely after effects? Do things just go back to the way they were?
Definitely not. Alex Salmond, the leader of the pro-independence Scottish National Party, has already stepped down. His successor will not have an easy time maintaining the party's relatively new status as top dog.
More importantly, spooked by the surge in "Yes" support, U.K. Prime Minster David Cameron promised a very fast timetable for devolving still more power to Scotland. In a matter of months, the UK is supposed to give the Scottish parliament even more authority. The details are fuzzy, and immediately critics suggested that reforms to limit the powers of Scottish members of the British Parliament also need to be part of the package. Cameron is taking heat from fellow Conservatives for having made rash promises, while his erstwhile "No" allies from the Labour party, including former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, instantly pivoted to promising to hold Cameron to a "locked in" schedule.
Will Scottish separatists get another chance?
The first referendum on devolution took place in 1979, but failed, and it took nearly 20 years before a second opportunity, in 1997. That vote was overwhelmingly positive, and allowed the establishment of the present Scottish Parliament. With one failed vote on independence, in 2014, one might invoke this precedent and predict a second, different outcome in the next 20-25 years. Long-range forecasts are always risky, but if I had to guess today, I'd say that the U.K. will be intact until my toddlers finish university, and that Northern Ireland is the country most likely to pose the next serious challenge.

I had a teacher once who advised us to take a poem of someone else's that we liked and copy it out longhand, word for word. He said it would slow down our reading and make us think about the poem differently. I liked that, and started copying out poems in a special notebook. One day I showed the notebook to a boyfriend and he shut me down by saying "Why, so you can pretend you wrote them all?"
There's a woman named Robyn who practices yoga at the same place I do who just went through her first pregnancy. She did variations on third-series ashtanga until her belly was as big as a sack of groceries and she had modified her practice down to, like, two poses. One of which was handstand. She'd just float right up there and serenely stand on her wide hands for minutes at a time. I guess it felt good. It certainly kept her arms strong, and the rest of us amazed.
The other day I was about three-quarters of the way through my yoga practice when it came to the point in the middle of backbends where you do handstand and balance by yourself for twelve breaths. I'm more of a flinger than a floater, so my teacher catches my hips, then he stands there and counts slowly to twelve while subtly, telepathically adjusting my posture and watching for signs of collapse.
I didn't collapse; though I've been sick on and off for two months and my attendance at practice has been abominable, I still managed to stand there on my hands by myself for twelve breaths and then float my feet down to my mat like two delicate, giant flakes of snow. And my teacher said, That was good. And I told him, I was imagining Robyn while I did that. And my teacher said, That's a Vedanta technique called adepada. It means "same foot." Where you imagine your foot standing in the foot of the Vishvedevas*. Or in your case, your hands in the hands of Robyn.
And it's twenty years too late to tell the snarky ex-boyfriend**, but I guess that's another reason to copy someone's poem, so you can gain understanding from standing within a stonger person's words. For the time being.
*"The mind is certainly infinite, and the Vishvedevas (high beings) are infinite. Through this meditation one wins an infinite world." From the Brahma Sutra Bhasya of Shankaracharya. Footnote: "Vishvedevas occupy the mind for the time being."
**Why, yes, I do seem to hold grudges.

There is no friend as loyal as a book. If book deals with the subject of spirituality, then the words have the power to transform us. DJJS in its endeavour to spread 'World Peace' through self-realization presented the literature "Ashutosh Maharaj Ji: Mahayogi Ka MahaRahasya" to Sh. Rajnath Singh (Home Minister, Govt. of India) and Shri Sukhbir Singh Badal (Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab). Swami Sajjnanand Ji presented this literature and explained mission and vision of DJJS to the high profile dignitaries.
The preacher disciples of Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji (founder and Head of DJJS) discussed about the several on-going projects of the organization in both social and spiritual arena. In Ambala, Swami Prem Prakashnand Ji, Sadhvi Meenakshi Bharti Ji and Sadhvi Gopika Bharti Ji distributed and discussed the literature at length with Mrs. Neeta Khera (Member of Haryana Public Service Commission), Mrs. Banto Kataria (President of Women Wing of BJP and Wife of Mr. Ratanlal Kataria, MP) and Mr. Rameshmal Ji (Mayor of Ambala).
A similar initiative was undertaken in Jalandhar where discussions took place with people across different spheres of life. Swami Umeshanand Ji and Swami Ashokanand Ji had interactions with dignitaries like Mr. Vijay Sapla (Minister of State for Social Justice and Environment & MP from Hoshiarpur), Raghunath Rana (Chairman, Punjab Mall Scale Industry), Mahinder Bhagat (Senior BJP Leader & Industrialist), Manjit Bali (S C Morcha, Punjab Pradhan), Jyoti Noora & Sultana Noora (Famous Bollywood Singer), Dr. Om Gauri Datt Sharma (Director, Jalandhar Doordarshan), Padamshri Hans Raj Hans (Famous Sufi Singer), Gurbinder Singh Atwal (former Congress MLA), Sunil Sehgal (Dharam Jagran Samanvay Vibhag, Pb. Sanskriti Pramukh RSS, Akhil Bhartiya Member RSS), Nirmal Sidhu(Famous Punjabi Singer), Rashim Mahajan (Owner of Modern Surgical House Industry), Vicky Tulsi (Senior Akali Dal Leader) and Ninja (Famous Punjabi Singer).

Last year Agilium Worldwide achieved record figures, not only in the volume of business but also in overall revenues. One sure explanation for this success is the significant rebound in hiring for executive positions, around the globe, following the sudden drop in activity caused by COVID. The year 2021 turned out to be, on average and in some respects, a record year for Agilium Worldwide's member firms. Agilium's group of executive search firms has managed to productively defy the post-pandemic pessimism, performing better in 2021 than ever before!
Members generated not only greater total annual revenues (close to $40 million) but also completed a record annual number of search assignments (in total almost 1,100) across the globe! Moreover, most firms were able to make use of the slower months in 2020 to redesign some of their processes, and optimize their search and assessment tools, thus achieving significantly higher efficiencies. Consolidated performance reports from 2021 show that Agilium's member firms performed better, using fewer resources. With an average of only 4.4. revenue producers in this context this is a highly admirable performance.
Monika Borgers, Executive Director of Agilium Worldwide: "Staying close to our clients, supporting them during the lockdowns in 2020 and subsequent months, certainly proved to be of great benefit to our member firms. Clients can now rely on us to help them refocus their business and to search and hire for new positions which are emerging from the crisis. Agilium Worldwide Executive Search has come out of the COVID crisis stronger than before. We innovated, we became leaner, we became better. I would like to congratulate each and every member on this outstanding group performance!"

Policies and Procedure
Readiness Submission: Process and Assessment Criteria
Negotiations Six Stages
Once each party has determined that it has completed its Stage 2 preparations, it should file written readiness submissions with the Commission. The Commission must assess these documents to determine the readiness of each party to commence negotiating a Framework Agreement. The Commission will notify the other parties when it receives a readiness submission.
Section 7.1(f) of the B.C. Treaty Commission Agreement sets out the readiness criteria that the parties must satisfy before they can begin these negotiations. The following are the Commission's policies for meeting those criteria.
THE INFORMATION REQUIRED IN CRITERIA 1 - 5 BELOW SHOULD BE PROVIDED RESPECTIVELY BY REPRESENTATIVES OF THE FIRST NATION'S GOVERNING BODY ON BEHALF OF THE FIRST NATION; THE MINISTER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS AND NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT ON BEHALF OF CANADA; AND THE MINISTER OF ABORIGINAL AFFAIRS ON BEHALF OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.
1. The First Nation has made a formal commitment in writing to Canada and British Columbia to negotiate a treaty under the six-stage treaty process, and Canada and British Columbia have each made the same written commitment to the First Nation. These formal written commitments should be exchanged as soon as possible after the initial meeting. Copies of the letters must be sent to the Commission.
2. Each party must appoint a Chief Negotiator who has continuing responsibilities for conducting the negotiations. Each party should identify its Chief Negotiator and the members of its negotiating team. The Chief Negotiator will be the liaison person with the Commission. He or she must have the authority to negotiate effectively.
3. Each party must confirm in writing that it has a mandate to negotiate a treaty, a comprehensive and clear mandate to negotiate a framework agreement, and a timely, effective process to develop and modify its mandate throughout Stages 3, 4 and 5.
Each party must confirm that it has a comprehensive and clear mandate to negotiate a framework, describe how it received its mandate and describe its process for developing and revising this mandate during all stages of the negotiations.
Canada and British Columbia must be able to show that their negotiators have the ability to access government departments so that they are able to address cross-departmental issues and jurisdictions in a timely and effective way. They must also demonstrate that they have a timely, effective process in place to obtain a specific mandate necessary for progress to be made in treaty negotiations.
In accordance with the B.C. Treaty Commission Agreement, the First Nation's mandate must be received from its constituents. "Constituents" are all the members of the First Nation, on and off reserve or wherever they reside.
Confirming a mandate necessarily involves those constituents with capacity to make decisions (i.e. adult members). In determining whether the constituents of the First Nation have given the required mandate, the Commission will expect compliance with the same guidelines that apply in Stage 1:
there must be clear notice given to all known constituents of the First Nation that informs them of the specific mandate being sought, and
all known constituents should be given an opportunity to participate in the decision.
As a minimum standard, a majority of constituents who have participated in the decision must indicate their support for the mandate sought.
Examples of ways for constituents to participate in decision making include:
attending meetings convened in the communities where a significant number of members reside;
where members are unable to attend a meeting, they should have an opportunity to express their views in writing -- by mail-in ballot, by appointing a proxy to vote on their behalf or by sending written comments to be considered at the meeting;
community petitions; and or
consensus processes in combination with other examples described above. The First Nation should describe how it received its mandate, and how it allowed all known constituents the opportunity to participate. It should provide the Commission with copies of resolutions passed, decisions taken or minutes of all duly convened meetings, how it took into account any written comments received from members not in attendance, copies of signed petitions, or any other documentation available.
The First Nation should describe how it received its mandate, and how it allowed all known constituents the opportunity to participate. It should provide minutes of all duly convened meetings, how it took into account the Commission with copies of resolutions passed, decisions taken or any written comments received from members not in attendance, copies of signed petitions, or any other documentation available.
4. Each party must have both the human and financial resources to carry out and conclude Framework Agreement negotiations in a timely manner.
Canada and British Columbia must confirm that each has dedicated resources for the ongoing support of an effective negotiating team with cross-departmental support to carry out and conclude framework negotiations and proceed into agreement in principle negotiations. The Commission will allocate available funds to the First Nation for Stage 3 where such funds are requested.
5. Each party must describe the ratification procedure it expects to follow to conclude a final treaty.
Each party should also describe the process by which the Framework Agreement and Agreement in Principle will be approved. As the B.C. Claims Task Force stated: Parties must understand each other's ratification procedure and be confident that agreements reached at each stage in the process have been fully considered and approved, and that the treaty will be binding once it is ratified. It would be unfortunate to reach the treaty stage only to find that the ratification of some earlier stage was incomplete, thus undermining support for the treaty. Individual First Nations may have different approval and ratification procedures reflecting their distinct political organization. In deciding on a process for approving a Framework Agreement or Agreement in Principle, the First Nation should be attempting to obtain approval from all known constituents.
THE INFORMATION REQUIRED IN CRITERIA 6 - 8 BELOW SHOULD BE PROVIDED BY THE CHIEF NEGOTIATOR OR DESIGNATE.
6. Each party has identified the substantive and procedural issues that it wishes to negotiate.
SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES
Each party must identify the major substantive matters to be discussed in the Framework Agreement stage. The Framework Agreement will contain the substantive issues that the parties agree to negotiate in the ensuing stages.
Before they enter Stage 3, the parties must write to the Commission confirming that they have agreed on the following procedural issues:
frequency of meetings, locations and estimated time to complete Stage 3, and
how they will share information during negotiations.
The Commission will facilitate discussion of these issues if required. Parties may agree on other procedural issues during Stage 2, such as openness protocols. While these are not requirements for readiness, the parties are encouraged to resolve these issues early in the process.
7. With respect to overlap issues, the First Nation must:
identify, and
begin to address any overlapping territorial issues with neighbouring First Nations.
Overlaps may involve First Nations both in and outside the treaty process. The Commission respects the principle that First Nations have the primary responsibility to resolve overlaps among themselves. The existence of an overlap is not an impediment to entering negotiations. However, the First Nation must clearly identify all known overlaps and begin to address these issues, in accordance with the following requirements:
a) Identifying overlaps
The First Nation must, in consultation with its neighbours wherever possible:
identify all affected First Nations and notify them;
prepare a map which shows
the boundaries of its traditional territory,
the areas that are considered to be shared territories,
identifying the neighbour (s) affected,
the areas that are disputed, identifying the neighbour (s) affected;
send a copy of the map to the affected First Nations.
b) Begin to address overlaps
The First Nation must:
make best efforts to establish an agreed process for resolving the overlaps with each of the affected neighbours, and
describe the way in which the First Nation will report to the Commission on the progress of overlap discussions.
Where a First Nation does not have an established process, the Commission encourages it to consider adopting the First Nations Summit's Recognition Protocol. In accordance with its facilitation responsibilities, the Commission is available to provide advice and assist the parties to obtain dispute resolution services where requested.
The First Nation must provide the Commission with copies of its maps and correspondence with its affected neighbours.
8. Canada and British Columbia must:
obtain background information on the communities, people and interests likely to be affected by negotiations, and
establish mechanisms for consultation with non-aboriginal interests.
Canada and British Columbia represent non-aboriginal interests and the general public in the negotiation process. The Commission recognizes this as a major responsibility of these two parties. These governments must confirm in writing to the Commission that they have compiled profiles identifying local and community interests. It is expected that community profiles will be updated as negotiations and consultations proceed.
The federal and provincial governments must also confirm in writing that they have established mechanisms for consultation with non-aboriginal parties with a direct interest in the subject matter of the negotiations. The consultation mechanisms should ensure that those interests are heard and considered.
The Commission generally anticipates that Canada and British Columbia will, under normal circumstances, fulfil these requirements and file their readiness submissions with the Commission within 60 days after the Commission accepts the First Nation's readiness submission and declares the First Nation "ready". This policy requirement is based on the recommendation of the B.C. Claims Task Force that the federal and provincial governments start negotiations as soon as First Nations are ready.

You or someone you know are struggling to see how to fill the gap. The gap I am refering to is the difference between what you earn currently and what you are worth. There is an outside chance that you are in a situation for personal reasons where you can't positively influence how much ever you try to reduce the gap. I say it's an outside chance because those situations are rare. It does feel good to say that you are in one of them because when you truly believe that, "you absolve yourself from the blame" for your current situation. You are a victim and you are in a way happy being one because it provides a clean license for inaction.
There is another (more probable) reason for having a big gap. That is your mindset about how you earn what you are worth. It is a "humble" mindset where you expect your work should speak for itself.
The stakeholders around you should form their perception based on your contribution. Higher your contribution, better should be their perception about you.
With the above mindset, there is a problem. The problem is that the stakeholders have to tell a story about your contribution (more work for them) that will shape their perception about you. Plus, when you let the stakeholders create a story, you don't have control on what stories they will create and hence you don't have control about how their perceptions are formed about you.
So, whether you want or not, learn the art of storytelling as it is fundamental to shape the perceptions.
Apart from the stories you tell about your contributions, there are two more foundational elements that will influence the stories you tell and the perceptions they form.
None of your contributions are in a vacuum. They all fall under some context. If they are "highly relevant" to the stakeholders, the stories get highlighted quickly and if they are not, it rarely matters how good your contributions are, your stories will simply create noise.
Your personal brand is hugely influenced by your previous highly-relevant accomplishments. It is the "lens" through which your stakeholders view your current contributions and hence the stories you tell about them. History is your good friend if you have been making meaningful contributions in the past. If you have not made a lot of meaningful contributions, your history can become your biggest enemy.
There are more variables in play but the above three are good places to start taking some responsibility to reduce the unpleasant gap that you or someone you know are experiencing.

Today instructors from Eyes on Animals and TSB|AWF gave a successful presentation about practical issues of live animal transportation. We were invited by Dr Laszlo Pallos, the Hungarian National Animal Welfare Officer and Contact Point to the EU in farm animal welfare-related issues, after the EU inspectors found some deficiencies in the practical application of the 1/2005 EU Regulation in Hungary last year. We focused on how a state officer could carry out more thorough inspections and take more effective correcting measures. The participating 22 animal welfare officers were representing all counties of Hungary, and were very keen on the information they received, such as the proper authorization procedure of an international live animal transport, especially if it goes outside of the EU and how to check the validity of the documents if the transport changes from road to a marine journey.
All in all we were very satisfied with this audience because we felt we could provide them with a handful of useful tips they could use in their daily job. It is in our plan for next year to visit the offices of these officials in each Hungarian county and repeat this theory training and in addition have a practical component where we check on livestock trucks together.

Probabilistic modeling of quantum-dot cellular automata
Saket Srivastava, University of South Florida
Sanjukta Bhanja, Ph.D.
Probabilistic model, QCA, Power dissipation, Bayesian networks, Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata
As CMOS scaling faces a technological barrier in the near future, novel design paradigms are being proposed to keep up with the ever growing need for computation power and speed. Most of these novel technologies have device sizes comparable to atomic and molecular scales. At these levels the quantum mechanical effects play a dominant role in device performance, thus inducing uncertainty. The wave nature of particle matter and the uncertainty associated with device operation make a case for probabilistic modeling of the device. As the dimensions go down to a molecular scale, functioning of a nano-device will be governed primarily by the atomic level device physics. Modeling a device at such a small scale will require taking into account the quantum mechanical phenomenon inherent to the device. In this dissertation, we studied one such nano-device: Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA).
We used probabilistic modeling to perform a fast approximation based method to estimate error, power and reliability in large QCA circuits. First, we associate the quantum mechanical probabilities associated with each QCA cell to design and build a probabilistic Bayesian network. Our proposed modeling is derived from density matrix-based quantum modeling, and it takes into account dependency patterns induced by clocking. Our modeling scheme is orders of magnitude faster than the coherent vector simulation method that uses quantum mechanical simulations. Furthermore, our output node polarization values match those obtained from the state of the art simulations. Second, we use this model to approximate power dissipated in a QCA circuit during a non-adiabatic switching event and also to isolate the thermal hotspots in a design. Third, we also use a hierarchical probabilistic macromodeling scheme to model QCA designs at circuit level to isolate weak spots early in the design process.
It can also be used to compare two functionally equivalent logic designs without performing the expensive quantum mechanical simulations. Finally, we perform optimization studies on different QCA layouts by analyzing the designs for error and power over a range of kink energies.To the best of our knowledge the non-adiabatic power model presented in this dissertation is the first work that uses abrupt clocking scheme to estimate realistic power dissipation. All prior works used quasi-adiabatic power dissipation models. The hierarchical macromodel design is also the first work in QCA design that uses circuit level modeling and is faithful to the underlying layout level design. The effect of kink energy to study power-error tradeoffs will be of great use to circuit designers and fabrication scientists in choosing the most suitable design parameters such as cell size and grid spacing.

We can help you classify and obtain export licenses for your EAR-controlled items.
Under the EAR, the list of items controlled is called the Commerce Control List (CCL). Navigating through this list, exporters are required to determine the correct Export Control Classification Number (or ECCN) for both their item and its associated technology. Once an ECCN has been determined, exporters must then cross-reference the country chart to determine if a license is required for export. At the same time, they should pay careful attention to any license exceptions or other conditions which may apply to their particular transaction.
Needless to say, this process can be a daunting task – even for those with years of trade compliance background.

Today, the Wednesday's Wild Chronicles series brings us to the question that so many of us on the adoption road face: Should we share that we have been matched and with whom?
The decision about who to share the information with that we had been matched was never an easy one. We get caught in the middle of worrying about the match failing and having to explain that, but yet so excited that we feel as if we could burst.
With this match falling so close to my brother and sister-in-law's announcement that they were pregnant with triplets the decision was that much more difficult. They wanted to wait until they were past the first trimester before making their news public. Although neither my brother and his wife nor hubby and I are the type to be possessive of the spotlight, we wanted to give them the space to share their announcement first and let the dust settle a little before making our news known. This meant holding out for at least four weeks before letting people know.
It was an excruciating wait at times! As comments trickled in about the triplets it became even harder. We had not shared with anyone that we were even thinking about another child so people lacked sensitivity about my longing for another child. Being caught in a situation with the stakes so high, I was desperate for support. People unknowingly began to make painful comments in our direction.
The Sunday that my brother and his wife confirmed the rumors publicly was particularly painful. My brother was slated to preach, so before diving into the meat of the sermon he explained that the murmurings were true. They were expecting triplets.
One person simply asked the ever so common question "Anything new with you all?" and when I replied, "No." they responded with, "Yes there is! You are going to be an aunt to triplets!" I remember thinking to myself that it was not really anything new to me. I had known this information for several weeks before they made it publicly known. I had something very major that was new to us, but I had to keep the news bottled up inside.
That day another person told me with that them expecting triplets we needed to start adopting some more so we could catch up. I know in a million years this individual would have never said anything intentionally harmful, but those words stung. We were expecting, but no one could know.
Out on a walk with my mom and sister, I could not hold it in any longer. I constantly felt like I was only partially present in any conversation about the triplets and, rightfully so, that was all anyone talked about. I was so cautious about anyone knowing our secret that I became aloof during conversations about them. Eventually, I needed people to know so that they would not misread my guardedness as me struggling with their news.
I let the information sink in for a minute as they turned to me and asked if I was saying what they thought I was saying. I confirmed the news that we were expecting and shared the circumstance. I then watched as the rest of the puzzle pieces fell together as they realized the implications of both the triplets and our child being due at the same time. The hope and terror intermixed.
I asked that they keep the news private until we decided when to make it public. With being so open with our first match and having it end in failure, we were still guarded about letting too many people know.
That line of thinking would change when we quickly received some very concerning news regarding the adoptability of this child. We were thrust into a world that we did not understand.
Next week I'll delve into the legislation that would change everything!
Next Keep The Prayers Coming!

Mortgage Rates Rise but Unlikely to Move Higher - Tennessee Trust Mortgage, Inc.
Mortgage Rates Rise – While mortgage rates have certainly edged higher since the late days of July, there are at least two major reasons to believe they are unlikely to move significantly higher from current levels, a least in the near-term.
(1) The European debt crisis is far from resolved and expectations the European Central Bank will intervene in a major way at their upcoming September 6th meeting is likely to prove little more than an exercise in wishful thinking. If this assessment proves accurate, global credit market investors will likely register their sharp disappointment by driving huge amounts of capital back into U.S. dollar denominated assets like Treasury debt obligations and agency eligible mortgage-backed securities, and this is good news for the prospects of steady to perhaps fractionally lower mortgage interest rates onMain Street,USA.
(2) While some economic indicators have shown marginal improvement, others continue to indicate the economy is far, far away from achieving "escape velocity" from the gravitational pull of the Great Recession. It is possible that the lack of additional cash injections into the economy from the Fed together with the stalemate in Washington over taxes and spending is poised to take a substantial toll on the stock markets. My models are flashing an increasing number of signals suggesting the Dow is very vulnerable to a profit-taking sell-off this week. Without an obvious source of strength current valuations will be increasingly hard to justify, and that is a condition almost sure to start building a "take-the-money-and-run" thought process in the mind of previously big and bold stock investors.

both visited our shlichim in Europe.
Zeev visited the vetren Kollel in Moscow. After 20 (!!) year of activity, and with hundreds of active students, Kollel Torah MiTzion Moscow is the largest Religious Zionist Center in Europe. Rabbi David Yushuvayev continues to lead the kollel, which now numbers 4 additional families: Sara and Alex Katz, Nachum and Racheli Zicherman, Shlomo and Elisheva Freidkin and Ariyeh and Esther Gregorian.
At the same time, Chasida had the honor of participating in the opening ceremony of The Yeshivat Chachmei Lublin Museum, which just reopened under the auspices of the local Jewish community. She participated in a musical Melaveh Malka in Warsaw, led by the Rosh Kollel nad his wife, Rabbi Uriel and Batya Zaretsky.
We were also excited to see first hand the impact our shlichim have in Germany; In Munich Chasida met the shlichim just in time for them to witness the conversion ceremony of three of their students. In the evening she also joined a weekly shiur for women, given by one of our shlichot.
We also visited the Kollel in Berlin, and learnt more about the community and the challenges it faces.
We are proud and gratified to see how our shlichim continually spread light and Torah in their host communities.

The Second Chance Fund was established in August 2006 through the Community Foundation of Westmoreland County. The purpose of the fund is to donate to various non-profits whose mission and purpose is in sync with the Second Chance Fund. Grants have been provided to the American Heart Association, CORE (Center for Organ Recovery & Education), the National Kidney Foundation, American Liver Foundation and The Children's Institute. As the fund grows we look forward to many other possibilities.
Malinda Cecchini-Sherid's late husband, Fred, died Christmas night of a fatal heart attack. Fourteen months later, her daughter Kimberly, died of injuries she received an a car accident. Kimberly was an organ donor. Through her gift of donation, Kimberly has given a second chance at life to her many recipients. Through the encouragement of Malinda's new husband, John, they established the Second Chance Fund. An annual walk is held to raise monies for the Second Chance Fund.

America Movil teams up with Mexican national guard to beat cybercrime
America Movil, which is controlled by the family of Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, launched its 5G network in Mexico this year with the expectation that it will become the largest 5G commercial network in Latin America.
Mexican telecoms company America Movil will work with the country's National Guard to tackle cybercrime, sharing technical information on criminals and threats, the government said Tuesday.
Scitum, a cybersecurity division of America Movil's Telmex unit, signed an agreement with the National Guard that will lead to preventative actions and detection of risk factors in information technologies, a government statement said.
Scitum will share its "experience and solutions to prevent cyberattacks," the company told Reuters.
"We are convinced the only way to deal with cybercrime is by working together, and that collaboration must take place between academic and government institutions and the private sector," Scitum Chief Executive Cristina Hernandez Fernandez said in the government statement.
Mexico's National Guard has investigated more than 5,800 cybercrimes since 2019, including human trafficking, threats, fraud and child pornography.

Assessment of satellite cell number and activity status in human skeletal muscle biopsies.
Mackey AL1, Kjaer M, Charifi N, Henriksson J, Bojsen-Moller J, Holm L, Kadi F.
The primary aim of our study was to validate the assessment of myonuclear and satellite cell number in biopsies from human skeletal muscle. We found that 25 type I and 25 type II fibers are sufficient to estimate the mean number of myonuclei per fiber. In contrast, the assessment of satellite cells improved when more fibers were included. Second, we report that small differences in counting satellite cells using CD56 and Pax7 antibodies can be attributed to the different staining profiles. Third, we provide support for the use of Ki67 in evaluating the proportion of active satellite cells. We observed very few (up to 1.3%) active satellite cells in healthy adult skeletal muscle at rest, but they increased significantly (up to 7-fold) following muscle activity. This study provides valuable tools to assess the behavior of satellite cells, both in pathological conditions and in response to physiological stimuli.

IOWA -- (Press Release) -- The jackpot keeps growing and hundreds of thousands of players keep winning prizes in America's Game. There were no Powerball jackpot winners Wednesday but 327,833 players across the nation won a total of more than $2.6 million in prizes. Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Wednesday's drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $57 million.
The cash option for the Saturday, June 7 drawing will be an estimated $32.2 million. The numbers drawn were: 2, 14, 24, 26, 53 and the Powerball was 1. The Power Play multiplier was 2.
Six players correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $100,000. The tickets were sold in Oregon, Pennsylvania (4), and South Dakota. Two of the winning Pennsylvania players purchased the Power Play option. By spending the extra dollar those players multiplied their prize by 2 for a total win of $200,000.
Sixteen players matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $5,000. Four of those players purchased the Power Play option, giving them a total win of $10,000.
More than 38,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 2 Wednesday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you can multiply your winnings, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night's multiplier.
Players should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels. Players purchased more than 13.6 million tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.
Powerball is now played in 23 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Vermont will begin selling Powerball tickets next month.

Flagship Pioneering, one of the biggest local venture firms involved in life sciences, said Wednesday that it has committed $50 million to a biotechnology startup that wants to use a new approach to develop medicines for diseases ranging from cancer to schizophrenia.
The Cambridge company, Foghorn Therapeutics, was created in 2016 but has kept a low profile. It focuses on research into chromatin, binding material used to package DNA into cells.
Company leaders explained what Foghorn aims to do this way: Just as airports need an air traffic control system to direct the movement of aircraft, the human body needs a system to control which genes our cells express, in what order, and how much. This so-called chromatin regulatory system is the body's "gene traffic control" system, according to Foghorn's founders.
A breakdown in the system is a major unexplored cause of cancer and other serious diseases. Foghorn wants to develop medicines to fix that.
The company was founded by Cigall Kadoch, who is affiliated with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, and the Broad Institute; Dr. Douglas Cole, of Flagship Pioneering; and Dr. Gerald Crabtree, of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Stanford University.
Adrian Gottschalk, formerly Biogen Inc.'s senior vice president and neurodegeneration therapeutic area head, is Foghorn's chief executive. Flagship Pioneering developed and launched the startup through its incubator, Flagship VentureLabs.
