Laura Esther Wolfson
For Single Mothers Working as Train Conductors
(University of Iowa, 2018)
Laura Esther Wolfson's literary debut For Single Mothers Working As Train Conductors is a thrilling and honest collection of personal essays spanning many years, countries, jobs, and relationships. Described by Wolfson as stories of failure, the book contains essays about Wolfson's failure to stay married, failure to be a mother, failure to connect to her Jewish culture, and failure to fight her chronic illness. A longtime translator and speaker of English, Russian, and French, she illustrates her control of language with vivid imagery, playful word choice, and rhythmic style.
The winner of the Iowa Prize in Literary Nonfiction, For Single Mothers Working as Train Conductors immediately demonstrates Wolfson's natural talent and confidence in her own skill. Although it is her debut book at age fifty-two, it reads not like the unfocused journaling of a newcomer, but rather the patient and purposeful prose of a master. In the very first essay, she engages with the not-insignificant themes of regret, motherhood, and the Cold War; moving with ease between her personal life, world history, and an abundance of endearing characters. She maintains this difficult balancing act throughout the entirety of the book.
In one standout essay, "Proust at Rush Hour," Wolfson discusses her attempt to master the French language, through the writing of Proust, while riding the subway in New York City. On that journey she gets distracted by a group of musicians: "The calm they radiate is not a natural fit with Times Square at rush hour, but, utterly at home in their music making, they carry it off… for the moment I am swept up. Where do these men live?" She attempts to return to her book, but cannot stop from wondering: "Behind me, the men—Did they grow up somewhere in east Tennessee? Did their group coalesce in a bar in Brooklyn before Brooklyn was hip? Are they Harlem-born and bred?—are still at it." This passage, like the entire book, is permeated by a sense of radical curiosity about the significance of the choices we make and the paths down which they lead. Wolfson herself changes jobs and locales frequently, unsatisfied with staying in one place or relationship or position for too long. This restlessness is mirrored in the style and structuring of her essays, which engage playful language and a naturalistically nonlinear order.
Each essay carries an arc of its own, but Wolfson is a deft storyteller and altogether they paint a riveting portrait. The clarity it lacks without a straightforward narrative is more than made up for by creative flourishes that suggest exactly what you need to know about this writer. Following the path of notable memoirists who have come before, Wolfson is skilled in the difficult art of self-implication. She holds herself accountable in the failures of her life, yet is also wise enough to know that there were certain unavoidable obstacles over which she had no power. For example in both "Losing the Nobel" and "The Husband Method," she is aware of both where she was at fault and where she had no control over her career setbacks or the dissolution of her marriage. In "Climbing Montmartre" and "Other Incidents in the Precinct" she demonstrates that she is unafraid to ask questions she cannot answer, oftentimes ending an essay seemingly with less certainty than she possessed in the beginning.
The eponymous essay, "For Single Mothers Working as Train Conductors," perhaps best exemplifies Wolfson's modus operandi as a writer. After the realization that she had been misunderstanding a long-held memory, she concludes: "Of course, by the time I grasped this, the matter no longer pressed. It was a missing jigsaw piece, nothing more—one that fit very neatly into a puzzle long since stored on a high shelf." Her writing is her attempt to arrange the disjointed series of puzzle pieces, which are the memories of homes and jobs and relationships that comprise a life, in a way that reveals meaning, or something near meaning. Unfortunately, the puzzle pieces usually do not fit together until long after they are of any use.
As a translator and mediator (both willingly and unwillingly) between different cultures, much of Wolfson's life has been spent trying to find words for situations in which there are no easy ones, and trying to bridge gaps that seem too treacherous to others. As a result, her writing directly confronts the meaning of home, the tragedy of miscommunication, and the purpose of language. By the end of the book, the reader is left with the impression that we live in a wide world seldom fair but always interesting.

Lumeris Recognizes Essence Healthcare for Earning CMS Rating of 4.5 Stars or Better for 7 Consecutive Years
Press Releases Health, Lumeris, Medical, Software
ST. LOUIS November 15, 2017 — Lumeris, the industry leader in value-based care solutions, today announced that the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has awarded long-time Lumeris client Essence Healthcare 4.5 out of 5 stars in its annual quality assessment of Medicare Advantage plans. The St. Louis-based Essence Healthcare has earned a 4.5 star rating or better for seven consecutive years.
"We're honored that CMS has once again recognized Essence Healthcare for our high-quality performance and for achieving a high level of consumer satisfaction with our services," said Richard Jones, CEO of Essence Healthcare. "Our collaboration with Lumeris has been instrumental to our success and allowed us to remain focused on protecting the health and wellness of our Medicare beneficiaries. The Lumeris value-based model continues to incent and enable providers to optimize their clinical and financial success through the efficient delivery of patient care."
Essence Healthcare, which serves over 60,000 beneficiaries across Missouri and Illinois, offers a unique collaborative approach to Medicare Advantage insurance by working with providers in a virtual integrated delivery system. Lumeris supports Essence Healthcare's efforts with transformative technology and engagement services that give providers the actionable clinical and financial data they need to proactively manage and coordinate patient care.
"Essence is among an elite number of Medicare Advantage plans that achieved a 4.5 star rating or higher for 2018, and the only HMO plan in Missouri to earn that distinction," said Jones. "By maintaining a high star rating for seven straight years, we have demonstrated the power and success of a collaborative payer and provider approach that leverages innovative technologies and effectively engages physicians and consumers to drive adherence to clinical and quality measures."
The Star Ratings system allows Medicare beneficiaries, their families and caregivers to compare the quality of available health and drug plans. Plans are rated on a 1 to 5 star scale, with 1 star representing poor performance and 5 stars representing excellent performance. Less than 19 percent of Medicare Advantage Part D plans earned 4.5 stars or higher for 2018.
About Lumeris
Lumeris serves as a long-term operating partner for organizations that are committed to the transition from volume- to value-based care and delivering extraordinary clinical and financial outcomes. We guide health systems and providers through seamless transitions from volume to value, enabling them to deliver improved and more affordable care across populations—with better outcomes. And, we work collaboratively with payers to align contracts and engage physicians in programs that drive high-quality, cost-effective care with satisfied consumers—and engaged physicians.
An industry recognized leader, Lumeris was awarded 2017 Best in KLAS for value-based care managed services for helping clients deliver improved clinical and financial outcomes. This was the second year we received this distinguished award. For the past seven years, Essence Healthcare, Lumeris' premier client with more than 63,000 members in Missouri and Illinois, has received 4.5 to 5 Stars from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. We enjoy working with all of our clients, delivering these same results, and aligning our proven multi-payer, multi-population model with their value-based care vision.

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet Unveiled At Pebble Beach
Mercedes-Benz has revealed the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet Concept at Pebble Beach in California, USA. It is one of the most beautiful concept cars to have been showcased in recent history.

Mercedes-Benz has revealed the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet Concept at Pebble Beach
The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is all electric
Its total power output is 740 bhp and it has a range of 500 km
There is no timeline on the launch of the production version of this car
Perhaps the most beautiful concept cars in the recent history, Mercedes-Benz took the wraps off the absolutely smashing Vision 6 Cabriolet. One cannot quite stop ogling at the car and its gorgeous lines, which evoke all kinds of carnal passion in a car enthusiast. We never had a doubt about the R&D abilities of Mercedes-Benz, but with the Vision 6 Cabriolet, the company has absolutely outdone itself. In words of the company itself, it is the most glorious example of automotive haute couture. It is homage to the hand-finished, exclusive cabriolets of the yore.
The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is actually an electric car with a total output of 740 bhp. The shallow under-floor battery enables the cabriolet to have a range of 500 kilometres according to NEDC (New European Driving Cycle).
E-Class All-Terrain
(Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet)
"The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet takes modern luxury into the realms of the ultimate in luxury, and is the perfect embodiment of our design strategy. Breathtaking proportions combined with a luxurious "haute couture" interior help to create the ultimate experience," explains Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of Daimler AG.

As is evident in the pics, the car is quite long; in fact it is almost 6 metres long. It makes use of art deco design which shows in its long bonnet and minimalistic design theme. The colour scheme is called 'nautical blue metallic'. The sharp, thin headlamps look absolutely beautiful in tandem with the lovely chrome radiator grille with vertical fins. Rounding up the looks are those beautiful 24-inch alloys with a centre lock, painted in rose gold. The Vision 6 Cabriolet measures 5,700 mm in length, 2,100 in width, 1,340 mm in height.
The interior of the car is as good-looking as the rest of the car. Following a minimalist theme, the interior gets crystal white nappa leather along with a dark paint finish. The fabric top is woven with rose gold threads. Further use of rose gold is seen on the trim elements in the cabin. The seats get quilted Mercedes-Benz star, which are backlit in Blue. Whoa! Another fascinating fact is that all the display elements are integrated into the glass trim. You wouldn't be able to see a single button anywhere inside the cabin of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet. The Vision 6 Cabriolet also gets the latest generation of bio-metric sensors which can record the state of mind and health of the passengers. The car also offers something which is called the 'Concierge Function'. This enables the driver to communicate with the car like he would to a normal person, as opposed to saying out pre-defined voice commands.

Being arrested for a tweet or a Facebook post in the Middle East is certainly nothing new. We've seen activists and journalists questioned, sentenced and imprisoned based on statements made on both social networks.
The latest story of this kind to come out of the region started in Saudi Arabia and is meeting a swift end in Malaysia. 23-year-old Saudi Arabian journalist Hamza Kashgari fled his home country after a series of tweets received far more attention than he could have anticipated.
The tweets, addressed to Islam's prophet Mohammed, were deemed blasphemous, and received over 30,000 comments, quickly followed by the creation of a Facebook page calling for the journalist's execution.
Kashgari left Saudi Arabia where he could face charges of apostasy, which in Saudi Arabia is punishable by death. Boarding a plane from Malaysia bound for New Zealand, Kashgari was apprehended by Malaysian authorities, and according to the most recent reports, he may already be on his way back to Saudi Arabia.
Kashgari's arrest in Malaysia has been a topic of controversy, with accusations leveled at Interpol for its involvement in the matter.
Justice Rohana Yusuf jz gave interim order 2stop Govt fr deporting #HamzaKashgari to Saudi Arabia.On our way to serve court order to police.
In the meantime, AFP has already reported that the Saudi Arabian journalist is in fact on his way back to Saudi Arabia.


"Anya, hello! My name is Evgeni Malkin"
This story first appeared on www.nhl.com/ru as part of an exclusive interview with Evgeni Malkin's wife Anna Kasterova in honor of International Women's Day. It has been translated from its original Russian text.
The other day Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin published an interesting photo on his Instagram. A beautiful Anna Kasterova is resting on his shoulders as he walks along the beach. The caption: "I've been carrying her for five years." What was the origin of the picture?
"This is in Miami, next to the place we live," said Kasterova. "It was our joint photoshoot for one glossy magazine. The photographer made this photograph as a gift on our fifth anniversary. We also made a video. I mixed in the music, made it romantic ... You want me to tell you a thousand words about this picture? You can't image how many ideas I have. But the fact is, there have been so many events and adventures over these five years that even a million words couldn't describe it all! "
Malkin himself was asked to describe their love story. In these past five years, in which he's won two Stanley Cups and became a father, has it been the happiest stage of his life?
"It's been very important," Malkin confirmed. "I met the right woman, and she gave me a child. My wife does everything so that I can play at my best. The family is your foundation, your source of help. I am very grateful to Anna for everything she does for me. I sure hope these were not the last five years of our life together".
"I still can't make him confess from whom he got my phone number!," she admits. We have known each other for more than five years. Evgeni was trying to court me for three years before we ever met in person. At first they were simple text messages. He saw me on TV and got my number somewhere. It couldn't have been difficult with his connections.
Malkin was simple in his introduction: "Hi Anna! My name is Evgeni Malkin. May I write you sometime? Maybe we can develop some kind of friendship..."
"Yes, very modest," Kasterova agrees. "Maybe that's what was so endearing about him. We texted each other for several years. Corresponded every six months or so. We discussed our lives, chatted about television, I shared news with him. Or sometimes just chirped him, 'Buy yourself a book on speech!'"
These loving chirps have become the hallmark of their relationship. If you have seen the famous documentary about this couple on Russian Channel One, you probably noticed that Malkin and Kasterova were teasing each other constantly.
"Yes, there is quite a bit of sarcasm in how we communicate," Kasterova said. "And we constantly joke with each other. Those soft nothings aren't really us. Evgeni is the manly type in this regard, someone who doesn't reveal his feelings very often. But he surely knows how to impress a girl. Makes a variety of surprises. I have never seen anything like it even in movies. He struck at the very heart!"
One example in particular, Kasterova gleefully recalled.
"Evgeni was scheduled to fly from Pittsburgh to the World Championship in Minsk. But he did not say that he had changed his plans and set off through Moscow a day earlier. He persuaded my girlfriend to take me to a restaurant. So I go with her, not suspecting anything unusual. And when I saw him there, it was just such a storm of emotions! We had not seen each other for six months. I did not expect him in Moscow at all. It was an impressive move on his part. "
Creating that special atmosphere at home is a special skill. It's not like Malkin has no work-related issues on his mind. Recently, he was suspended for one game after a high-sticking incident with Michael Raffl of the Flyers despite getting punched in the back of the head by Raffl first. How does the wife calm her husband down before the next game so that he can keep a cool head, but still play with emotion?
"When things like this happen, I curse more than my husband," she admits. "And he just needs to be alone for a little while, so that no one incites him or, God forbid, feels sorry for him. But you know, I never heard him talk dirty about anyone. Not a single swear word about his opponents. He is very worthy and noble in these situations. Although I can see how upset he gets."
How does the Malkin family spend its days off? After all, you can't just take Gino on a stroll around Pittsburgh. He simply has too many fans for this not to turn into an autograph session.
"We don't do anything out of the ordinary," Kasterova says. "During home stands we spend most of the time at home. We walk around the neighborhood, cook dinner. Evgeni might order some fresh fish somewhere. This is the best time. We can't just go out without attracting attention. Evgeni is a superstar here. We only get privacy and tranquility when we're at home."
Apparently, paying a family visit to Sidney Crosby's house is also an option.
"It is," Kasterova confirmed. "Everyone has their own family, and the guys spend so much time together on the road that we don't come over that often. But several times a year we'll go over there. Or Sid might come to us. He always plays hockey with our son Nikita. He loves the kid. And we are obviously always happy to see Uncle Sid. Malkin and Crosby are great friends, they have a wonderful relationship."
And again we go back to how it all began. World Championship 2014 in Minsk. Famous TV presenter Anna Kasterova is standing near the barrier hoping to see Evgeni Malkin for even five minutes, because the Russian team's bus is already warming up to take the team to the hotel.
"It was the first tournament I went to as Malkin's girlfriend," Anna recollects. "To be honest, I did not really understand how to handle myself. There are, after all, female clans of wives, and their own rules and principles. I had no idea how these things worked. And there also is a bit of a pride element in running somewhere after the game to only see Evgeni for two minutes. It was hard get used to."
"We barely saw glimpses of each other in Minsk after each game," Kasterova said. "Gave each other a few hugs and kisses, and that's all. Evgeni was all in serious mode, as was the whole team. Nothing else was allowed. We only got to talk normally when we flew to Moscow with gold medals… And now five years have passed. Feels like it was all yesterday. "

La lignée des matadors français naît le  à Valence avec l'alternative de Pierre Cazenabe, dit Félix Robert. Les matadors sont présentés le cas échéant sous leur apodo. Les éléments de cette liste sont consultables sur les encyclopédies de la corrida mentionnées dans la bibliographie ci-dessous.

Cette liste  ne répertorie que les matadors ayant obtenu leur alternative. Comme il en arrive des dizaines chaque année, les très anciens ne peuvent se trouver dans les dictionnaires comme le faisait déjà remarquer Auguste Lafront en 1950

En 2003, le tableau chronologique des matadors de Robert Bérard comporte 8 pages sur papier bible (255 matadors), celui d'Auguste Lafront en comportait 2 sur papier ordinaire.

Les dictionnaires tauromachiques excluent de la définition de matador tout torero n'ayant pas reçu l'alternative.

Martin Jerome Okec Aliker is a Ugandan dental surgeon, businessman, entrepreneur, and community leader. He is a senior adviser to the President of Uganda and has sat on the board of directors of nearly forty Ugandan companies. He is the chancellor of Victoria University Uganda, a private institution. From 2004 until 2014, he served as the founding chancellor of Gulu University, a public university.

Background and education
Aliker was born in Gulu District on 21 October 1928 to Rwot Lacito Okech and Julaina Auma, a daughter of Musa Ali, the first ordained Anglican priest in the region of the Acholi. He attended Gulu High School for his primary education, before transferring to Kings College Budo for his O-Level studies. In 1948, he was admitted to Makerere University, the oldest public university in East Africa. Before he could complete his studies at Makerere, he won a scholarship to Northwestern University, in Chicago, Illinois, United States, where he studied political science, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Following that, he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study dental surgery, also at Northwestern, graduating with a Doctor of Dental Surgery. Later, he was awarded the title of Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

Lifestyle
After his doctorate studies in the United States, Aliker returned to Uganda and took up employment as a government dental surgeon. Later, he left the civil service and set up the first private dental practice in Uganda owned by an African.

In 1971, when Idi Amin captured power in a coup d'état, his residence shared the back wall with Aliker's house. Amin's security people ordered him to move away from his home because he was deemed a security risk to Amin.

In late 1972, he fled to Nairobi, Kenya because of the deteriorating security situation in Uganda. While in Nairobi, he set up a lucrative dental practice, staying there until 1998, when he came back to Uganda. On his return, he was able to repossess his home.

Investments
Starting in the 1960s, Aliker began buying shares in blue chip companies, including the Uganda Commercial Bank and the National Insurance Company. , Aliker was a shareholder in the following publicly traded Ugandan companies: (a) Stanbic Bank Uganda (b) Uganda Clays Limited (c) Nation Media Group (d) National Insurance Corporation (e) East African Breweries, among others. He sits on the boards of many of these companies and is the chairman of Uganda Clays Limited.

Other responsibilities
He sits on the Actis East African Advisory Board, launched by Actis, the private equity firm affiliated with the Commonwealth Development Corporation. In July 2014, he was appointed chairman of the board of trustees of the Makerere University Endowment Fund.

Investigators believe that Lori Vallow, mother of missing siblings Joshua "JJ" Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17, knows either the location of the children or what happened to them, according to a press release issued by Rexburg Police.
Rexburg Police Department
The mother of missing Idaho siblings, Joshua "JJ" Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17, who haven't been seen since September, is not cooperating with investigators, police say.
Reports detail Charles Vallow's death in Chandler months before son went missing

Alexander Lamar Cox told police that he fired in self-defense after Charles Vallow, his sister's estranged husband, refused to drop a bat and came after him.
PHOENIX (AP) — Newly released police records show a man who was killed last summer when picking up his son from his estranged wife in Chandler was confronted by his baseball bat-wielding stepdaughter, shortly before her uncle killed him during a dispute.
[WATCH: Police release video from Charles Vallow death in Chandler, Arizona]
The killing of Charles Vallow occurred months before his son, 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow, and stepdaughter, 17-year-old Tylee Ryan, went missing.
Authorities say Vallow's wife, Lori Vallow, and her new husband never reported the children missing and disappeared soon after being questioned about the children, who remain missing.

Investigators previously provided an account of the July 11 death, but police in Chandler released records on Monday that revealed Ryan confronted Vallow shortly before the shooting.
Ryan came out of her room with the metal bat after she was awakened by yelling outside her bedroom door. Ryan, who was trying to defend her mother, told police that her stepfather was too close, so she told him to back up, but he managed to take away the bat, according to police records.
Police say Lori Vallow's brother, Alexander Lamar Cox, was at the home and intervened, beginning a confrontation in which Charles Vallow struck the back of Cox's head with the bat. Cox told police that he then went to his bedroom, got his gun and demanded that Vallow leave.
Cox told police that he fired in self-defense after Vallow refused to drop the bat and came after him. Cox told investigators that it didn't occur to him to remain in the room and call police. Cox reported the shooting to 911, performed CPR on Vallow and answered questions from investigators, according to police records.
"I got into a fight with my brother-in-law and I shot him in self-defense," Cox said at the time in a call to 911.
Cox wasn't arrested as a result of the shooting. He died in December of unknown causes. Gilbert police spokeswoman Brenda Carrasco said Cox's death remains under investigation. Autopsy reports haven't yet been publicly released.
"It does make it more challenging and we can't obviously interview him anymore, so we are still collecting evidence that can be extra interviews in regards to Lori, digital evidence," said Sgt. Jason McClimans with Chandler police.
In a police video, Cox told investigators that the two children and their mother had left the house shortly before the shooting occurred. He described Vallow as enraged.
"He came at me with the bat again after he already hit me in the head, so I shot him to stop him," Cox told an officer while sitting on a curb outside the home.
Four months before his death, Vallow filed for divorce from his wife, alleging that she had become infatuated with near death experiences and claimed to have lived numerous lives on other planets before her current life.
He also alleged his estranged wife threatened to financially ruin and kill him, according to court records, which noted that Vallow sought an order of protection and a voluntary evaluation of his wife at a mental health facility.
Since Vallow's death, Lori moved to Rexburg, Idaho, with the kids and married Chad Daybell, an author of several religious-themed fiction books about prophecies and the end of the world.
Two months after Lori Vallow moved to Idaho, Daybell's then-wife, Tammy Daybell, died at her home. She was 49, and her obituary said she died of natural causes on Oct. 19. Police would later question that and have her body exhumed for an autopsy. Results haven't been released.
Chad Daybell married Lori Vallow just two weeks after Tammy's death.

Syrian singer stages show in war-battered Aleppo
Title: Syrian singer stages show in war-battered Aleppo
Summary: (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) STUDENT, SAEED, SAYING: "We, as young people, were deprived of our heritage, of our country. I did not expect to see these numbers but the youth of Aleppo miss their citadel, miss their heritage, miss Shadi Jamil and his genuine art."

As the sun sets over Aleppo, hundreds of people poured into the city's historic citadel for a show that hasn't been staged here in years.
The harmonious melodies of Syrian singer Shadi Jamil filled the air, replacing the ear-shattering sounds of shells and gunfire.
Jamil's Tuesday (July 25) night show is the first time a performance has been staged at the ancient citadel since the Syrian war started six years ago.
Returning to his hometown, Jamil spoke of his pride and happiness at being able to perform at the symbolic site.
"I felt proud of the huge number of people, it's a happiness that I don't give to anyone because I knew the love of people towards me. For me, the citadel is a symbol of our pride and history. We sing for the history. Today we sing in the Aleppo citadel that represents every honest Aleppo citizen," said the singer.
Before the war, Aleppo's ancient walled citadel drew in armies of visitors to one of the Middle East's greatest treasures.
The citadel's high stone ramparts had been on the front line of fighting pitting the Syrian army and its allies against rebels who occupied much of the Old City surrounding the fortress.
Now with an end to the warfare in Aleppo, the city is entirely in the government's hands, with this event organised by the Syrian Tourism Ministry.
Those at the show danced and soaked up the jubilant atmosphere.
"This day is historic for Aleppo and the citadel. We, as Aleppo citizens, came from all Syrian cities to attend the first concert for seven years. Since 2010, the Aleppo citadel has not hosted any concerts. So, all the people of Aleppo are taking part in this concert in order to send a united message that Aleppo is still here and will return by God's will," said a student Ahmad.
The United Nations says about 200,000 people have returned to east Aleppo after it emptied during the fighting, mostly from temporary accommodation in areas held by the government.
Despite Aleppo's fractured state, people here are keen to unite under a musical banner to rebuild their city and look to the future.

This lovely spot was in a tiny riverside park in the village of Roquecourbe in the Tarn region of France. I loved the slanting light through the trees and the path that seemed to be an invitation to explore further. The park was planted as a memorial to several local members of the Resistance who died in the Second World War. Now it is a little oasis of peace in a bustling market town.

Epilepsy that is untreatable by medication can be relieved by surgically removing excitable brain tissue. However, seizures originating in the cerebral cortex cannot be localized using non-invasive imaging techniques such as fMRI or PET. To localize the site of seizure onset, electrodes are surgically placed atop the cortex to monitor and triangulate epileptic seizure activity. The procedure poses significant discomfort and infection risk to the patient, as the boreholes through which electrodes are placed remain open for the seven-day monitoring period.
Using ratiometric imaging of fluorescence and absorption signals, Daryl Hochman, Ph.D. is developing a novel method to measure cortical activity based on changes in oxygen concentration.
Daryl Hochman, Ph.D., and his colleagues at Duke University are developing a novel, nanoparticle-based imaging technique that has potential to quickly localize excitable cortical tissue and eliminate the electrode-based procedure.
The nanoparticles, developed in the lab of Cassandra L. Fraser, Ph.D. at the University of Virginia, exhibit oxygen-independent fluorescence at 450 nm and oxygen-dependent phosphorescence at 550 nm under UV illumination. Dual wavelength imaging and ratiometric calculations can reveal dynamic oxygen concentrations in the pial arterioles across the cortical surface and provide an indication of local neural activity.
"Typically, cameras I've looked at that are good for fluorescence are not that good for absorption. They don't have the needed combination of dynamic range and sensitivity," explained Hochman. The project required a wide dynamic range to detect small oxygen-dependent changes in light absorption against the strong intrinsic signal at 550 nm, as well as exquisite sensitivity to capture dim fluorescent signal at 450 nm.
Hochman placed the Photometrics Evolve EMCCD camera directly into his surgical macroscope and began imaging his primate models. The camera's dual amplifiers met his demands for high sensitivity and wide dynamic range.
"The Evolve can be used in traditional CCD mode, where it has dynamic range, and EM mode, where it is still very sensitive for fluorescence. Without the Evolve, we would need two expensive cameras that we would have to swap on and off the microscope. It wouldn't be a feasible thing to do," Hochman explained.
"We are really taking advantage of the camera's high sensitivity," he continued. The Evolve's deep-cooled engineering, providing the highest quantum efficiency (>90% peak QE) and the lowest read noise of any EMCCD camera, enabled Hochman to capture clear, usable images at ultrafast frame rates and thus resolve the nanoparticles' behavior over the time course of bursts of neural activity.
"We are able to use the Evolve camera for all our imaging requirements. We can flip to one wavelength, remove the emission filters and measure the light absorption. We can flip to another wavelength and image the fluorescence with high sensitivity. In that way, the camera is uniquely suited for performing both types of imaging at the same time," Hochman said.
With a better understanding of how the nanoparticles reflect cortical activity, Hochman plans to develop the bio-degradable, nontoxic nanoparticles for use as a clinical diagnostic capable of quickly localizing inter-epileptic activity.
Hochman collaborates with several researchers. Cassandra L. Fraser, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry at the University of Virginia and graduate student Guoqing Zhang developed the oxygen-sensing nanoparticles. Michael M. Haglund, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Neurosurgery and Neurobiology at Duke University surgically prepares the primate models for imaging. Greg Palmer, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in Radiation Oncology and Cancer Biology at Duke University pioneered the use of these oxygen-sensitive nanoparticles for studying rodent tumor models.

OK, so according to Strava, tomorrow, January 17 is "Quitters' Day," or the day that Americans are most likely to give up on their New Year's fitness resolutions.
Can we all agree that resolutions are arbitrary and makeover montages don't happen in real life and just cut ourselves a break, and go out and ride or run just because it feels good, not because we're 'supposed to do it'?

Insurers have a vital role to play in inoculating organizations against potentially crippling attacks. With cyber insurance premiums forecast to reach $7.5 billion by 2020, how can insurers do their part to leverage this opportunity for the benefit of customers in today's digital world?
A recent study conducted by Chubb in major Asia-Pacific markets reveals that SMEs tend to be both overconfident and underprepared when it comes to cyber awareness.
Every week, there seems to be a major new data breach that impacts millions. So it's no surprise that personal cyber insurance are being offered by insurance companies, and the global market could be worth as much as $3.1 billion by the year 2025.
Given the growing prevalence of data breaches, evidence is building that many cyber insurance policies might be close to worthless, as insurance companies look for any excuse possible to avoid paying out the full amount of a claim.
AIG releases new cyber risk benchmarking model to quantify and score cyber maturity of clients, boosting cyber insurance and promoting metrics useful for the industry to evaluate the risks that organizations face in terms of cyber security.
The private sector is increasingly turning to cyber insurance to at least mitigate some of the effects of hacking, however governments across the globe seem to have been slow to take advantage. Given the severity of the cyber threats, is it time for public sector agencies to leverage cyber insurance offerings?
Does the 21st Century Business Really need Cyber Liability Insurance?
If your business is dealing with data then ignoring the peace of mind that cyber liability insurance would provide would be foolhardy. In fact, the very survival of a business that stores and leverages customer data in any way may very well depend on good cyber liability coverage.

Annalists (from Latin annus, year; hence annales, sc. libri, annual records), were a class of writers on Roman history, the period of whose literary activity lasted from the time of the Second Punic War to that of Sulla. They wrote the history of Rome from the earliest times (in most cases) down to their own days, the events of which were treated in much greater detail. Annalists were different from historians, in that an annalist was more likely to just record events for reference purposes, rather than offering their own opinions of events.  There is, however, some overlap between the two categories and sometimes annalist is used to refer to both styles of writing from the Roman era.

Different generations

For the earlier period, the authorities of annalists were to record state and family records—above all, the annales maximi (or annales pontificum), the official chronicle of Rome, in which the notable occurrences of each year from the foundation of the city were set down by the Pontifex Maximus. Although these annals were no doubt destroyed at the time of the burning of Rome by the Gauls, they were restored as far as possible and continued until the pontificate of P. Mucius Scaevola, by whom they were finally published in eighty books.

Two generations of these annalists have been distinguished—an older and a younger. The older, which extends to 150 BC, set forth, in bald, unattractive language, without any pretensions to style, but with a certain amount of trustworthiness, the most important events of each successive year. Cicero (De Oratore, ii. 12. 53), comparing these writers with the old Ionic logographers, says that they paid no attention to ornament, and considered the only merits of a writer to be intelligibility and conciseness. Their annals were a mere compilation of facts.

The younger generation, in view of the requirements and criticism of a reading public, cultivated the art of composition and rhetorical embellishment. As a general rule the annalists wrote in a spirit of uncritical patriotism, which led them to minimize or gloss over such disasters as the conquest of Rome by Porsena and the compulsory payment of ransom to the Gauls, and to flatter the people by exaggerated accounts of Roman prowess, dressed up in fanciful language. At first they wrote in Greek, partly because a national style was not yet formed, and partly because Greek was the fashionable language amongst the educated, although Latin versions were probably published as well.

The first of the annalists, the father of Roman history, as he has been called, was Q. Fabius Pictor; contemporary with him was Lucius Cincius Alimentus, who flourished during the Hannibalic war (not to be confused with L. Cincius, the author of various political and antiquarian treatises (de Fastis, de Comitiis, de Priscis Verbis), who lived in the Augustan age, to which period Mommsen, considering them a later fabrication, refers the Greek annals of L. Cincius Alimentus). Like Fabius Pictor, he wrote in Greek. He was taken prisoner by Hannibal (Livy xxi. 38), who is said to have given him details of the crossing of the Alps. His work embraced the history of Rome from its foundation down to his own days. With M. Porcius Cato historical composition in Latin began, and a livelier interest was awakened in the history of Rome.

Notable writers
Among the principal writers of this class who succeeded Cato, the following may be mentioned:
 L. Cassius Hemina (about 146 BC), in the fourth book of his Annals, wrote on the Second Punic War. His researches went back to very early times; Pliny (Nat. Hist. xiii. 13 [27]) calls him vetustissimus auctor annalium.
 L. Calpurnius Piso, surnamed Frugi, wrote seven books of annals, relating the history of the city from its foundation down to his own times. Livy regards him as a less trustworthy authority than Fabius Pictor, and Niebuhr considers him the first to introduce systematic forgeries into Roman history.
 Q. Claudius Quadrigarius (about 80 BC) wrote a history, in at least twenty-three books, which began with the conquest of Rome by the Gauls and went down to the death of Sulla or perhaps later. He was freely used by Livy in part of his work (from the sixth book onwards). A long fragment is preserved in Aulus Gellius (ix. 13), giving an account of the single combat between Manlius Torquatus and the Gaul. His language was antiquated and his style dry, but his work was considered important.
 Valerius Antias, a younger contemporary of Quadrigarius, wrote the history of Rome from the earliest times, in a voluminous work consisting of seventy-five books. He is notorious for his wilful exaggeration, both in narrative and numerical statements. For instance, he asserts the number of the Sabine virgins to have been exactly 527; again, in a certain year when no Greek or Latin writers mention any important campaign, Antias speaks of a big battle with enormous casualties. Nevertheless, Livy at first made use of him as one of his chief authorities, until he became convinced of his untrustworthiness.
 G. Licinius Macer (died 66 BC), who has been called the last of the annalists, wrote a voluminous work, which, although he paid great attention to the study of his authorities, was too rhetorical, and exaggerated the achievements of his own family. Having been convicted of extortion, he committed suicide (Cicero, De Legibus, i. 2, Brutus, 67; Plutarch, Cicero, 9).

Other annalists
The writers mentioned dealt with Roman history as a whole; some of the annalists, however, confined themselves to shorter periods:
 L. Coelius Antipater (about 120 BC) limited himself to the Second Punic War. His work was overloaded with rhetorical embellishment, which he was the first to introduce into Roman history. He was regarded as the most careful writer on the war with Hannibal, and one who did not allow himself to be blinded by partiality in considering the evidence of other writers (Cicero, De Oratore, ii. 12). Livy made great use of him in his third decade.
 Sempronius Asellio (about 100 BC), military tribune of Scipio Africanus at the siege of Numantia, composed Rerum Gestarum Libri in at least fourteen books. As he himself took part in the events he describes, his work was a kind of memoirs. He was the first of his class who endeavoured to trace the causes of events, instead of contenting himself with a bare statement of facts.
 L. Cornelius Sisenna (119–67), legate of Pompey in the war against the pirates, lost his life in an expedition against Crete. He wrote twenty-three books on the period between the Social War and the dictatorship of Sulla. His work was commended by Sallust (Jugurtha, 95), who, however, blames him for not speaking out sufficiently. Cicero remarks upon his fondness for archaisms (Brutus, 74. 259). Sisenna also translated the tales of Aristides of Miletus, and is supposed by some to have written a commentary on Plautus. The autobiography of Sulla may also be mentioned.

Criticism of the term
Cicero spoke harshly of the annalists. In De Oratore, he wrote: "Let me remind you that in the beginning the Greeks themselves also wrote like our Cato, Pictor, and Piso. History was nothing more than a compilation of yearly chronicles ... In this way, just as the Greeks had their Pherecydes, Hellanicus, Acusilaus, and others, so we have their equivalents in our own Cato, Pictor, and Piso, who have no idea by what means speech is given distinction – such things, after all, have only recently been introduced here –, and who suppose that, provided what they say is understood, the sole virtue of speaking is brevity."

This distinction between "annalists" and "historians", which has been influenced by Cicero's views, have been criticized by some modern scholars. Hans Beck notes that "a glance at the surviving fragments ... makes it plain that the conceptual assumptions of this model (lack of style, a mere compilation of people, places and prodigies) are not accurate." According to John Marincola, much of the discussion "centers around who should be considered a 'historian' and who an 'annalist'. Nonetheless, it remains questionable whether this approach too has any validity. First, such a distinction cannot be found in the ancient authors, where "scriptor annalium" or the like serve as a designation for all writers of history. Second, the Latin word annales means both history (in the aggregate and objective sense) and a particular history (the literary representation of events). Third, citations of Roman historians refer indiscriminately to annales and historia, which suggests not only that the writers themselves did not assign any such title as Annales to their works, but also that there cannot have been a recognized sub- genre of annales."

Closing Time: Freddy Peralta graduates
Scott Pianowski
Roto Arcade June 27, 2018, 12:28 PM UTC
Thus far, rookie Freddy Peralta looks terrific from every angle (AP/Morry Gash)
The Brewers are in first place in the NL Central, 2.5 games clear of the Cubs. It's a fun and highly-watchable team, a mix of names you know and names you're getting to know.
Add Freddy Peralta to that latter group. And give Peralta his graduation papers, he's pushed his ownership tag to the point that we can't discuss him as a reasonable add any longer. He's climbed over the 50-percent threshold, and the future looks bright. We're now trying to figure out where the story is headed.
The backstory should be a review, stuff we discussed two weeks back (when he was five percent owned). Peralta is a 22-year-old rookie who's been a strikeout ace at Triple-A and a revelation in four MLB starts. The Twins got the better of Peralta in his second turn, but he's been a knockout in the other three appearances.
[Yahoo Fantasy Football leagues are open: Sign up now for free]
Start with a 13-strikeout debut at Coors Field, with just one hit allowed. That's insane. Peralta also tamed the Pirates over six scoreless innings, and Tuesday against Kansas City, it was more bagel parade (7 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 10 K).
Now would be a good time to run some Peralta video. Filthy is as filthy does.
Okay, no one gets a trophy for stopping the 2018 Royals, but appreciate the likely Signature Significance in front of us. Thus far 29 pitchers have managed at least two double-digit strikeout starts, and Peralta made it on just four appearances. He's sitting on a 1.59 ERA, a 0.71 WHIP, and nine walks against 35 strikeouts over 22.2 innings. These are Wiffle Ball stats.
Of course the kid is going to eventually regress, that's not any eureka moment. No one is this good. And the Brewers will have a clogged rotation soon enough; Zach Davies should return from the disabled list next week. Peralta's spot in the rotation isn't carved in stone, not yet anyway.
That said, the Brewers fancy themselves contenders (consider the Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich trades in the offseason), and they need to respect anyone who's getting it done right now. And the schedule might come in handy as Craig Counsell tries to navigate the glut of pitching. Milwaukee doesn't have an off day until the All Star Break, and there's also a doubleheader in the second week of July. The Crew could easily decide to run with six starters, let the logjam figure itself out.
No matter what, Peralta is set to start against the Reds this weekend. Screw Harvey Day (his opponent), it's Peralta Day. After that, Counsell has some decisions to make.
The only reasonable assumption I see is Peralta hanging around. I always consider my entire fantasy roster tradable, but I'd have to really like a Peralta offer at this moment. The upside is too tantalizing. I'm probably going to hold on with both hands and see where the ride takes us.
• I recognize many fantasy owners dream of complete domination and demolition, assembling an All-Star roster and just crushing opponents.
Hey, I have nothing against star players. Everyone needs a few. But I feel more satisfaction when I find production from a hidden or unlikely source.
Consider Gorkys Hernandez in San Francisco.
Hernandez has been around, stopping in Pittsburgh and Miami before hitting San Francisco in 2016. He played often last year, and did extremely little in 310 at-bats — a .255/.327/.326 slash, no home runs, 12 steals. The bags are nice, the average mediocre, the power nonexistent. The Giants viewed him as a disposable depth player to open the year.
Alas, Hernandez is playing often, and playing quite well. In his age-30 season, he's apparently figured some stuff out. He has a nifty .284/.338/.482 slash over 68 games, with 10 homers (where did that come from?) and four steals. He's batted leadoff in seven of his last 10 starts.
He was the hero in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Colorado, with an early homer (a center-field blast) and the go-ahead walk, plating a run, in the eighth. The leash gets longer.
SFGiants fans
March 2018: Why do we still have Gorkys Hernandez?
June 2018: Where would we be without Gorkys Hernandez!
— Batting Stance Guy (@BattingStanceG) June 23, 2018
Hernandez was a secondary prospect in his early days, cracking the Top 100 for two major ranking sites in 2008 and 2009. But he was never slotted higher than No. 62 (Baseball America, 2009). He really can't be called a post-hype prospect; the full hype never arrived.
Hernandez is hitting the ball harder this year, obviously a good thing. He's also become more aggressive, perhaps hyper aggressive — his walk rate is down a speck, and his strikeout rate has spiked to 28.4 percent. Some might feel this approach will catch up to Hernandez sometime, with all the swinging strikes and out-of-zone chases. But perhaps this is a player who's learned how to sell out for power and take advantage of it. Selective aggression can actually be an extremely valuable tool at the plate.
I don't blame anyone who screams out "pumpkin" and doesn't want in on Hernandez. But at some point we have to trust what's in front of us. Over the last five weeks, he's the No. 20 outfielder in 5×5 value. That is no longer a tiny sample size. You don't have to put Hernandez on an extended leash, but I'm fine to see where this story goes — he's already on a handful of my rosters.
Hernandez is still available in 92 percent of Yahoo leagues. He's lagging far behind the ownership tags of Dexter Fowler and Bradley Zimmer, for crying out loud. Remember, we really don't care about the name. We just want the numbers.
• The Giants closing chase didn't clean up Tuesday, even with the 3-2 victory.
Mark Melancon worked the eighth and allowed two hits and a run. Lefty Tony Watson retired one batter, two pitches, and cleaned up the Melancon mess. Sam Dyson survived the ninth (double, walk) when D.J. LeMahieu's sharply-hit ball turned into a game-ending double-play. To be fair, the leadoff double off Dyson was a bloop, a total fluke. But had he merely recorded one out during LeMahieu's at-bat, the Giants probably would have summoned lefty Will Smith to face Charlie Blackmon. Dyson only threw 11-of-19 pitches for strikes, and walking Chris Iannetta is inexcusable.
How badly did you need those saves, again?
• It's not easy to figure Detroit's bullpen, given the team is going nowhere. But Shane Greene has struggled this week, picking up two losses and pushing his ERA over 4. That 1.27 WHIP is mediocre, too. If and when the Tigers want to try someone else, Joe Jimenez (2.65/1.04, 41 K, 9 BB) has the profile of a closer. (Of course, Jimenez was knocked around Monday, too.)
I'm also holding onto Kirby Yates in San Diego, partly for the wipeout innings and partly for the possibility that Brad Hand is traded later this summer. To be fair, the Padres could and maybe even should shop Yates, too. They're in a rebuild, and relief pitchers are a luxury for non-contending clubs. In the meantime, look at Yates's 2018 domination — 0.82 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 40 whiffs against nine walks over 33 innings. He's turned himself into a fantasy asset in medium and deep mixed leagues.
Have to figure Nick Kingham is back up with the Pirates sooner or later (Kuhl may be hurt). Kingham is at six-percent in Yahoo. Up and down first six starts, but his WHIP is under 1 and he averaged a strikeout per inning. Had a pedigree before TJ surgery. A good speculative play.

• Whatever they did to fix Matt Carpenter, man oh man, it's worked. Carpenter was hitting .140 as recently as May 15, but that's when the party started. He's on a .349/.424/.691 barrage in his last 38 games, with 33 runs, 12 homers, and 23 RBIs. (Sorry, he's not a baserunner. But he does grab three positions in Yahoo leagues.)
Carpenter's best game of the year came Tuesday against Cleveland, a 5-for-5 explosion with a double and two homers. Pretty heady stuff when you consider Corey Freaking Kluber started for the Tribe.
It's likely Carpenter was playing hurt for the first few weeks of the year, and he's also maintained a strong hard-hit profile all year. Some bad luck played into the nightmare start, sure. But no one bats .140 for six weeks without being part of the problem. The good news is that when Carpenter finally broke this slump, the signs were clear to see — he didn't merely start collecting hits, he started ripping extra-base knocks. He batted .393 in the second half of May, with nine doubles, four homers, and a .738 slugging percentage.
Obviously not every slumping player gets a smooth landing. As I've said for years, everyone comes around, except when they don't. But now we have to consider Carpenter back in the $20 and up class, especially when we factor in the three positions of eligibility. Heck, it wouldn't be a stretch to put him on the All-Star team — his .136 OPS+ is just four points from a personal best, and he could be especially useful for the NL given his defensive versatility.

Letter from Israel
B'not Mitzvah
Savvy Seniors
By Eli Berk
Jews who go to Israel before Messiah will look like 'angels' to those who come after
A rabbi explained the benefits of making aliyah before the Messiah sends out the final call, noting that the recent anti-Semitic mass shooting in Jersey City may have been an end-of-days endgame wake-up call for Jews to come home to Israel.
In the wake of the anti-Semitic mass shooting in Jersey City, the fourth such shooting in 14 months, a group of rabbis redoubled their efforts in a project that calls on Jews in the exile to return home to Israel. Rabbi Pinchas Winston, a prolific end-of-days author, explained this in a video. He cited Tuv Ha'Aretz (goodness of the land), a collection of traditional homiletic teachings written by Rabbi Natan Schapira in 1655. Rabbi Schapira moved to Israel from Cracow, Poland and became the chief Ashkenazic Rabbi of Jerusalem, shortly after his arrival.
Rabbi Winston relates one story in the book that tells of the days-to-come after the Messiah has revealed himself and after all the wars are over.
"The world is the way it is supposed to be," Rabbi Winston said. "What we dream of. At that time, all the Jews from all around the world will come to the land of Israel because it will be clear that is where we all belong."
The rabbi describes how people arriving in Israel after the arrival of the Messiah will be greeted by the sight of what appears to be angels flying overhead.
"They'll turn to Moshiach (Messiah) and ask, 'What is that? Angels?" the rabbi said. "Moshiach will tell them that those are the Jews who came to Israel before the Messiah was revealed.
"These Jews made aliyah when it was still difficult," the story explained. "These Jews valued spiritual growth more than financial gain or comfort."
"We are clearly reaching the end of history," Rabbi Winston said. "For all we know, Moshiach is right here now, about to reveal himself at any moment. At that point, the door closes, marking the difference between making aliyah before the Moshiach or after Moshiach."
Rabbi Winston explained that in the end-of-days, people will hear God's call in stages.
"This happened in the Exodus from Egypt as well," Rabbi Winston explained. "When Moses first returned, some listened to him but most did not. Every step of the way, after each plague and each miracle, more people listened. When the Plague of Darkness hit, only one-fifth of the Jews were ready to leave. But that was the last call and according to Jewish tradition, four-fifths of the Jews died in that plague."
"There was a general awakening after the Holocaust but most Jews stayed where they were. The 9-11 attacks should have been another wake-up call. Very few heard it that way and most kept living life as usual. There have been three mass shootings in the U.S. targeting Jews. Anti-Semitism is on the rise and Europe is even worse. Just like in Egypt, very few people are willing to get it. The Jews in Israel will have to go through Gog and Magog but outside of Israel it will be even worse."
The rabbi noted that last week's shooting in Jersey City has powerful significance.
"They called themselves the Black Hebrew Israelite," Rabbi Winston said. "On the surface, it sounds like Jews killing ourselves. But what they really want is to kill the Jews and replace us. Can you imagine a world in which the Chosen People are full of hatred and murder? Can you imagine if that was the light of Torah that was sent out into the world? In truth, that is precisely the opposite of the message that Israel and the IDF is giving the world. But the powers of darkness are twisting the truth."
The rabbi compared the extreme nature of current events to the plot in a movie.
"Until recently, history went along logically like a movie that needs a long time to set up the conclusion. As the movie comes near to the end, the plot gets more dramatic because it is wrapping up the story. Everything in the news is dramatic because we are getting close to the end. Anyone with the eyes to see understands that what is happening now, every detail, every attack against the Jews, everything that happens to Israel, actually began hundreds of years ago. We are at the wrap up, the end. The pace is picking up."
The rabbi explained that coming to Israel before the Messiah was even more significant an act of love than performing the biblical commandments.
"We do the commandments because we have to," Rabbi Winston said, giving an analogy. 'It is like a husband who thinks he shows love for his wife by fidelity and creating a home. That is what he is required to do. But by going above and beyond what is required, by buying flowers, that is how he shows love."
"Jews are required to keep the Sabbath, to eat kosher, to pray, and all the other commandments. But we show our love for God by doing things that are not commandments; by choosing to live in Israel. When someone says that they want to come to the land of their fathers because that is where God's presence is felt the most, then God says 'Wow!'"
The video was created as part of an ongoing multi-faceted project initiated by Joshua Wander, a resident of the Mount of Olives. The project, named appropriately enough "Bring Them Home", was launched with a series of video lectures given by prominent rabbis explaining why the biblical imperative to move to Israel is in a new, more imperative stage. The English-language videos were posted on the YouTube channel "Bring them Home-Aliyah Now" and their Facebook page.
As part of the initiative, the rabbis signed a joint declaration in Hebrew.
"To our brothers, the Torah faithful Jews living outside of Israel:
The sages of Israel, from whose words we derive life, already taught us that the mitzvah (Torah commandment) to live in Israel was established as one of the greatest of the mitzvoth by Nachmanides, Maimonides, and all the other sages who establish the law…Therefore, at this time, we are sending out a holy proclamation to those who dwell outside of Israel, to wake up and hurry, and to investigate every possible way that is in your ability to come to live in Israel. You must educate your children about the great spiritual level of those who do so and to help them in every way you can to come and dwell in the Holy Land.
This is especially true now when there is a threat to the sanctity of Israel and the Jews from outside. Every Jew who moves here will be an aid in fighting off this threat to the sanctity and will establish the future of Judaism throughout the world and will merit those who come to its aid.
The one who chooses Zion and Israel will surely merit to see miracles and wonders, and may our eyes see the return of God to Zion."

Expertise for the media
03 Dec 2013 13:28:33.617
An agreement has been announced between The University of Nottingham and Guangdong University of Finance, to create a new Institute which will train up to 2,000 Chinese financial specialists each year.
The announcement was made in Beijing as part of the UK Prime Minister's visit to China, the largest British trade delegation to ever visit the country

Situated in China's largest financial centre
Based in Southern China, Guangdong has the largest GDP of any Chinese province, estimated to be around £550 billion per annum. It is also one of the most populous regions in China, with over 100m people, and the provincial capital, Guangzhou, is recognised as the largest financial centre in China.
The new academy, which will be known as the Guangdong-Nottingham Advanced Finance Institute (GNAFI), will provide advanced training to senior managers from industry, commerce, financial institutes and government organisations. The Institute will be located in a new, state of the art building, funded by the Guangdong regional government.
Complementing and informing its executive training activities, applied financial research will also be part of the Institute's core activities.
Opening the door to new opportunities
Professor David Greenaway, Vice-Chancellor of The University of Nottingham, said: "The ongoing internationalisation of China's financial industry means that its influence on the world economy is increasing day-by-day. The fact that The University of Nottingham will be so directly involved in supporting this process is very exciting, and I am sure it will open the door to numerous opportunities for the University, and the UK, in Guangdong and other parts of China."
Professor Greenaway signed the agreement along with Professor Lu Lei (President of Guangdong University of Finance), who was also representing the Vice-Governor of Guangdong Province. Witnessing the ceremony on behalf of the UK government was Lord Livingston, Minister Designate for Trade and Investment.
Professor Greenaway, along with The University of Nottingham's Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International), Professor Yu Hai-Sui, initially visited Guangdong in April 2013 to discuss and develop this agreement.
Developing Guangdong's senior financial leaders
Dr Chen Yunxian, the Vice-Governor of Guangdong Province said: "The University of Nottingham has been chosen to support this important initiative, working in partnership with the Guangdong University of Finance to develop our senior financial leaders and support the continued growth of a sector critical to the economy of Guangdong and Southern China."

Notes to editors: The University of Nottingham has 42,000 students and is 'the nearest Britain has to a truly global university, with campuses in China and Malaysia modelled on a headquarters that is among the most attractive in Britain' (Times Good University Guide 2014). It is also one of the most popular universities among graduate employers, one of the world's greenest universities, and winner of the Times Higher Education Award for 'Outstanding Contribution to Sustainable Development'. It is ranked in the World's Top 75 universities by the QS World University Rankings.
More than 90 per cent of research at The University of Nottingham is of international quality, according to the most recent Research Assessment Exercise. The University aims to be recognised around the world for its signature contributions, especially in global food security, energy & sustainability, and health. The University won a Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education for its research into global food security.
