OPINION: Harassment in college is unfortunately common: Here's how I deal with it
Emily Cooney, Staff Columnist
Emily Cooney
Editor's Note: This article contains references to harassment.
Growing up, I watched strangers compliment, approach and, unfortunately, sometimes verbally harass my mom enough times to learn how to deal with it. Men in grocery stores, gas stations and anywhere else did not care that she was with her two young daughters. They still called out to her things like "Hey honey" or "What time do you get out of work?"
This is in no way meant to make you feel any sort of pity for her, me or women who deal with this everyday. It's meant to address how this harrassment is normalized to the point where young girls like me had to be taught how to deal with this harassment.
Recently, while working at my boxing gym, I noticed a man pacing in front of the building, looking in the windows. He came inside and almost immediately said I'm beautiful, he loved what I was wearing and asked for my number. I declined with no emotion and said "No I'm OK, thanks." Unfortunately, even after leaving the man lingered outside the building. I ended up having to call my boss to rectify the situation.
Sometimes compliments from strangers are genuine. I'm fine with this as long as nothing is expected in return. It's the disgusting comments and outrageous behavior that's unacceptable.
While harassment is entirely unacceptable, we must learn how to deal with it. Here's my advice.
Don't feel bad for leaving these situations; leave the bar, take a break at work, call your mom or an authority. I used to feel embarrassed for voicing my fear, anger and disappointment to anyone, but especially an authority. This is unfortunately because women are often not believed when reporting harassment. We are made to feel overactive and told to take the compliment or give them a chance. Don't listen to this absurd rationalization.
I highly recommend taking some form of self-defense or my favorite, boxing. It allows you to finally let go of that fear of harassment and bark back when necessary.
If you get catcalled, act as if you hear absolutely nothing and keep walking with purpose to avoid any contact.
Always enter a room with caution but also with pride in yourself. I used to be scared to go to work sometimes, go to class when I was sat next to a creepy guy, or even get gas alone. Don't be scared. Fake the confidence until it's so real no one can deny it.
Live your life, but don't put yourself into dangerous situations. Take risks, but responsible risks. Go on that date, give your number to the attractive barista, go to that party. But, also send your location to a friend and be safe.
Also, talk to your loved ones if you're upset. Don't keep your anxiety and anger about harassment to yourself for too long. If you're like me, it will make you take it out on genuinely nice men who just want to be your friend or get to know you.
What some men don't understand is that danger is everywhere for women. You don't have to be at a bar to get harassed. Hence the reason why we should all carry pepper spray or something of the sort.
Breathe, cry, laugh it off. You will be okay, one or dozens of bad experiences with strangers or men you know or perhaps dated does not define you or all men. There are good people. Just be aware and ready to handle the bad ones who deserve to go to hell.
All my advice has worked for me and my friends, but sadly, women still get assaulted despite their efforts to stop harassment. There are resources to help you at NC State, and remember it's never your fault if you're dealing with any kind of harassment.
If you or someone you know is experiencing relationship violence, sexual violence, stalking or any other form of interpersonal violence and are in need of advocacy services, the NC State Women's Center has trained advocates available to offer crisis intervention, emotional support, resources and referrals.

Q: ls command lists hidden files When I run ls command I get files like opencv.sh~ in my output which is not visible if I check the home directory.
Basically, it also lists hidden files without supplying any other parameter. How can I prevent this ?
My dist is Ubuntu 14.04

A: opencv.sh~ is not a hidden file. POSIX defines a hidden file as one starting with a dot, but opencv.sh~ does not start with a dot.
If you don't want to see these files, you can explicitly avoid them by using a glob that doesn't include them (for example, shopt -s extglob followed by ls !(*\~)), or (as I assume these are from vim), you can configure vim not to put backup files in the same directory.

A: There's no property on a file that indicates that it's hidden. Early versions of Unix had an ls command that hid files whose name begins with . ("dot files") and that tradition stuck. The ls command, by default, hides files whose name begins with . and shows all other files.
Some graphical file managers hide files whose name begins with ., just like ls, because that's what many users expect. Gnome has launched a new convention, which is that directories can contain a file called .hidden which contains a list of files to hide (one file name per line, no patterns allowed).
You didn't mention which file manager you used, it's possible that it has different rules for hiding files. If opencv.sh~ is hidden, that follows decidedly non-standard rules, so you can't legitimately complain that ls isn't following these non-standard rules.
Adding a ~ at the end of a file name is the convention for a backup file. That is, opencv.sh~ is an earlier version of opencv.sh, created by your editor when you saved opencv.sh.
The GNU version of ls supports an option -I to ignore extra patterns (in addition to dot files). If you want to hide backup files from ls, you can make an alias that adds -I "*~" to the ls options:
alias ls='ls -I "*~"'

(plus any other option you wish, e.g. alias ls='ls -I "*~"' --color to use colors to indicate file types). Put that line in your .bashrc, .zshrc or whatever initialization file your shell uses.

Virginia Tech 21, Akron 18
by Will Stewart, TechSideline.com
Click here for the game recap with stats
In one of the biggest upsets in the history of college football, the University of Akron upended 15th-ranked Virginia Tech 24-21 on a last-second touchdown following a recovered onsides kick. Akron quarterback Q. B. Zippee hit receiver I. M. Catchinit on a 47-yard post pattern as time expired....
Dorothy? Dorothy, wake up!
Hmmm? What? Oh, Auntie Em, I had this terrible dream! I dreamt that the Akron Zips beat the Hokies! It was awful!
Oh, dear, that must have been a bad bump you took on the head! Even Toto knows the Zips can't beat the Hokies!
All right, all right, Hokie fans, calm down. I know you're hating the fact that we only beat Akron's mighty Zips by 3, and I'm not going to dress this pig of a game up in silk, but the bottom line is, we won. That's more than you can say about the BC opener a year ago.
If you're like me, you're less than impressed by Tech's 21-18 win over the Zips, and you're a little surprised that Auntie Em was almost proven wrong. But like I said, if you're like me, you're just a little surprised.
Three major things had transpired over the last few months, weeks, and days to set up the scenario of a close game:
The Hokies were overconfident
Off-field problems had plagued the team
The Zips had already played a game
I think that despite everything they say, the Tech football players are still way too full of Sugar Bowl accolades, and maybe they're having trouble putting that behind them, but a squeaker over Akron should certainly bring them back to earth. The local paper in Akron called the game "the mismatch of the century," which is overdoing it, but if people are saying those sorts of things, complacency is definitely going to sink in. As they say, that's why they play 'em on the field.
Privately, to friends and family, I had been saying all week that the suspension of Hokie running back Marcus Parker loomed huge, given Ken Oxendine's history of injuries. I had no idea that I would be proven right before half time. As I write this, all I know is that Oxendine's injury is a separated shoulder, and it's unknown exactly how long he'll be out. Enter freshman Shyrone Stith, who proved worthy to the challenge, amassing 115 yards rushing. We'll see if the freshman can keep it up against BC.
Also, I'm not going to make any jokes about how Parker, a guy whole stole condoms, was suspended from a game being played in the Rubber Bowl. That joke is too easy, and I like Marcus Parker too much.
As for the Ox, I am the biggest Ken Oxendine fan you'll find, and I really thought that he was ready to explode this year. Well, I guess his fuse is longer than I had hoped, because he's going to have to wait for a while. The guys on the radio were saying 2-4 weeks.
Brian Edmonds's suspension made itself felt early in the game, too, when Tech lined up on Akron's one-yard line with three players who had never carried the ball in college: Stith, fullback Shelly Ellison, and freshman Cullen Hawkins. The ball was handed off to Ellison, and the result was your worst nightmare, a fumble. Had Edmonds been there to give the ball to, the fumble probably wouldn't have occurred.
Tech's inexperience also loomed large in the play of Walter Ford, who botched two punt return attempts and donated Akron's first 8 points. But perhaps the dumbest plays were Cornell Brown's deadball personal foul, when he punched an Akron lineman in the helmet, and Tony Morrison's deadball foul, when he danced around after a big fourth-down sack.
You'd think Tony Morrison would be the last guy dancing around on the field. He should be happy just to be there. But that's another subject.
I saw the Walter Ford safety on TV, and it's one of the worst plays I've ever seen. I feel bad for the guy, because he knows it was an awful play, and it happened right out there in the open, in front of God and everybody else. The ball went over Ford's head at about the 20 and started to roll towards the end zone. Ford turned around, ran after it, and committed the sin of catching it at the 1, running into the end zone with it, and then standing there. Bang, safety. It's enough to make you cringe, and I hope the young man can put it behind him and move on.
The value of a having a game under your belt cannot be underemphasized, and it showed in Akron's improved performance over their season opener. Remember Tech vs. BC last year, when the Hokies lost to an inferior team that had already played a game? Another example is Syracuse. They took a highly ranked team into a game against UNC, which had the unfair advantage of scrimmaging against Clemson the week before. The results? SU sucked up a loss, and Tech would have, if the opponent had been more formidable.
But enough grousing. A win's a win. Two teams ranked in front of the Hokies lost (Syracuse and Northwestern, which lost to Wake Forest), and #17 LSU very nearly went down at the hands of Houston, one of the biggest patsies you can schedule. With SU and Northwestern losing, let's hope the Hokies at least hold their place in the rankings. And let's not overlook the play of the freshman Stith, who did a dynamite job not only of running the ball but hanging on to it, which is tough for freshmen to do. And the defense pretty much shut Akron down, except for a 4th-quarter TD drive that the Zips put together to close the final gap to 3.
If Ford doesn't make his mistakes and Ellison doesn't fumble on the goal line, you've probably got a 28-10 game.
Yeah, I know, if is four-letter word.
My take on the BC game is now even-up. BC is going to start Hasselbeck instead of Mutryn. Combine that with Tech's shaky play and off-the-field problems, and you've got a game that's too close to call.

History of Waunakee
Railroad Beginnings
Trains thundering across the golden Wisconsin prairies opened the door for development in Waunakee just after the Civil War. When the Chicago and North Western Railroad expanded its line from Madison to St. Paul, it also opened the opportunity for a local supply center and a market for shipping farm produce.
The Packham Mill, in operation for 10 years, seemed a logical spot for the location of a new and potentially prosperous village. Located just 2 miles from the present Waunakee depot, railroad officials had already decided it was an ideal location.
But 2 early settlers, Louis Baker and George C. Fish, owned land along the new railroad line and plotted a village on their property instead.
In exchange for $1,500 and 2 miles of right of way, railroad officials changed their original plans and trains roared to a stop in what is now known as Waunakee. Native American in origin, the name Waunakee (Wanaki) aptly describes the village's location in a "fair and pleasant valley" just north of Madison.
Continued Growth
The innovative spirit and dedication of early settlers continues in the Village of Waunakee today.
Today, more than 100 years after its founding, the Waunakee community continues to grow. Descendants of early settlers work side by side with new residents to retain the best of the old village while ensuring growth and prosperity well into the future.

In 2001, using figures dating back to 1972, my colleague Bryan Kavanagh discovered that the ratio of total property sales to GDP indicated whether the Australian property market was in a bubble — in which case the bubble would eventually burst, causing a recession.
But assembling these "figures" was no trivial task. Incredibly, Australia has no official national statistics on total property turnover. The ABS has numbers and median prices of residential sales, but not total sales by value; and these figures have been collected only since 2002 and cover only established house transfers in the eight capital cities. So Mr Kavanagh was obliged to accumulate data that came directly or indirectly from State and Territory governments, which are responsible for land-title transfers under our federal system.
The figures from different jurisdictions cover different time spans, and only Victoria's go all the way back to 1972. So the sales-to-GDP ratio for most of the time base could only be an estimate based on partial data. Time-resolution would be poor because most jurisdictions aggregate their figures annually (not quarterly or monthly). Worse, Victoria uses calendar-year aggregates whereas most other jurisdictions use financial-year aggregates, so that the national "annual" totals had to be approximations of some sort, and would cause further blurring of the time base. In spite of these odds, Mr Kavanagh managed to produce and maintain a index of the property market bearing an uncanny correlation with subsequent events in the wider economy.
Use of the sales-to-GDP ratio for forecasting was problematic not only because of the poor time-resolution, but also because the figures for Victoria were released up to 18 months later than the property transactions to which they referred, whereas the ABS figures show that a downturn in prices can follow as soon as three months after a steep fall in sales. So why not use the ABS figures from now on? Well, for one thing, the ABS sales figures are not released until six months after the corresponding price index! This in turn is because the ABS, like the LVRG, has trouble getting timely figures from the States and Territories (wherefore the most recent ABS price indices are based on figures from mortgage lenders and are subsequently revised in response to data from the States and Territories).
The opacity of the property market would never be tolerated in the stock market, in which participants expect up-to-the-minute information on both prices and volumes. Considering that we cannot avoid direct and heavy exposure to the property market, either as owners or as renters, should we not have a greater right to transparency in the property market than in the stock market?
The compilation of a statistic as fundamental as the total property turnover in the country should not be left to a private agency, let alone a shoestring operation like the LVRG. It should be done by the ABS at least quarterly, preferably monthly.
But perhaps there is hope. On September 22, the ATO announced that it will seek information from State and Territory land-titles offices and revenue offices on property title transfers dating back to 1999, in order to detect non-payment of income tax, GST, or capital gains tax (CGT). To work out whether a CGT liability exists, the ATO would need to check if the same title has been previously transferred since the introduction of CGT in 1985. It might be easier to demand all the data back to 1985 and be done with it. But, whether the complete data set goes back to 1999 or 1985, let's hope the ATO hands over the same data to the ABS (presumably stripped of identifying information, notwithstanding that such information would be far less dangerous with the ABS than with the ATO). National statistics on property sales by number and by value, by State and by category, aggregated monthly or even quarterly, dating back to 1985 or even 1999, would be very handy.
* Update (October 5): The media release went out on October 4 and led to a one-column story in the Australian Financial Review on October 5 (see also the .jpg version). In retrospect, one point may require clarification: the "build-up of inventory" (mentioned in the 2nd-last paragraph of the AFR story) is of course only the early evidence of slowing turnover, not the cause of it.


Heart frontwoman Ann Wilson has announced that she will be filming an upcoming live date for what will be her very first solo television special which will promote her forthcoming album.
The special will be filmed during Ann's concert at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, IL on April 11th. Details such as an air date for the special are still to be announced.
It will be broadcast in connection with the release of her new album "Immortal" which will be hitting stores this summer and will include Wilson take on some her favorite songs from artists that have been lost such as Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me," Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black," and The Eagles' "Life in the Fast Lane" in honor of Glenn Frey.

View Full Version : Are sub-projects stable in VT 4.5?
I don't use VT edit that often as I spend most my time doing 3D CGI and after fx work and then at most stitching things together and adding audio in VT. I am now embarking on a project that has far more video and I will need to make much heaver use of VT edit. In the past I have always kept away from using sub-projects because of strange behaviour I experienced back in the VT days. I would like to start using them again to manage the complexity of my timeline but I'm worried that if I do, at some point down the road I'm going to run in to problems again.
My question is that now we are on VT 4.5 are subprojects 100% stable? I must say that I have not had a single problem with VT4 or 4.5 since I upgraded from 2 (I skipped 3) so I am optimistic about sub-projects. I also don't see the subject continually coming up on the message boards. Is that because they are now good or because no one uses them any more.
There should be no problems with subprojects in version 4.5.
My question is that now we are on VT 4.5 are subprojects 100% stable?
I have been a little leary of subprojects also.. all the way through VT3. I had some major disruptions and headaches very early on that scarred me badly.
Sub projects are one of the most powerful and useful features of VT4.5.
Also note that with the new superscaling functions etc..within VT Edit...you no longer need to use AE for PIP or general image maniputation...you can now do it in realtime with VTEdit...You can also work with multiple subs to create smaller sequences then stitch them together...very quickly and simple.
I do not use AE much anymore for general work (I use it for DVD menus mostly now)...VTEdit does so much now.
If you need more advance stuff. I also love to work with Mirage and Digital Fusion (its a much more powerful compositer that AE and MUCH faster).
Just to clarify something Ray said... He seemed to imply that subprojects can be used for PIPs and such, that is definately NOT the case. That is still a major limitiation to subprojects, they can't be overlaid and sized and moved over video. In no way can they be treated "just like any video clip."
ok what was Ray referring to then? I have also stayed away from sub-projects mainly because i have had no need for them.
He just meant about the superscaling being higher quality, and being able to do PIPs and moves and such in VT-Edit... At much higher quality than in the past, which is totally true.
But the way he said this wrapped in the subproject discussion I wanted to clarify that though all that is true of CLIPS in VT-Edit, it is NOT true of subprojects.
But just for organizing sections of projects, subprojects are great. But if you need to PIP or do any sizing or moves of a subproject, you're gonna have to render it out due to VT-Edit's limitations, so you might as well just render it, the subproject itself won't let you do that.
So honestly, due to this rather severe limitation, I don't personally find subprojects as powerful and useful as Ray does.
And to clarify what I said. My subproject problem had nothing to do with stability or crashes. I had problems with in/out points and fade durations changing when I would sub project then expand.
1) Photomontages - create a sub for a group of pictures to go with each song. In fact if you have the pictures in folder, just drag the folder into the timeline & viola! an instant subproject.
2) Music video - each song can be edited inside its own sub project & then you can stich them together.
3) As a way to break up parts of a bigger project, i.e. A complex into scene, a multicam interview, footage from a particular location, footage that goes with a certain time period.
This last one I currently using as I create a "behind the music" type of edit. Subs allow me to group clips, pics & interviews for a particular time block. Of course when you are finished editing this sub you can always "de-sub" if need be.
Or, you could use the PIP DVE to bring up your sub-project in a PIP without the need to render, which is what I suspect radams was talking about.
That said, I certainly would like a to have more control tree function over a subproject.
I like the sub-projects because I can have multiple layers going in a subproject (an interview with introductory CG already onscreen, or segment title overlayed) and use a DVE to transition to it, so the DVE applies to all the layers of the subproject. Also, from an organizational standpoint they are nifty - an interview or other show segment as a subproject means editing of a magazine format show is just editing the subprojects together.
And no, I haven't had problems with sub-projects losing in or out points.
I should also mention that Subs don't have to be just for editing..
For you LIVE guys... You can setup a sequence of Utilities that can control the switcher, keyer, etc... and you can preset or switch a show with them...so you can setup fairly complex setups and with a click on a sub or TED project have them execute... CAll it emem on steriods guys.
Yeah, I had the problems Jim described long ago, but not since around VT.
Ivan, how exactly do you mean you can overlay subprojects playing in a DDR over live video? You mean like chroma keying them? Not a real alpha key, right?
Set up a lower third with text over an animated graphic, you can even use full frame video and just crop it.
Either save it as a project or select both clips and click create subproject.
Now open a DDR and either drag the project into it which will show up as a subproject or just drag the subproject into it from VTEdit.
Load up the switcher and select an input and use the DDR as you DSK.
If you forget to turn on overlay for a layer nothing above that layer will appear. The top layer on the timeline does not need overlay turned on for this to work.
Hmm, strange that it maintains transparency here but not in VTEdit. It even maintains transparency for the background of resized video used as overlay in the subproject.
I'm not in front of my VT at the moment to check, and it's not a feature I normally use, but isn't it possible to bring up a camera input into VTEdit? I seem to recal reading something about this somewhere. If that is possible, can it chroma-key in control tree?
If these two things are possible, then it should be possible to create a subproject for each of multiple cameras that keys the subproject, then overlay it on a DDR, and VIOLA - multiple camera virtual sets.
I believe the camera icon in VTEdit just triggers a switch on the switcher to that camera. It doesnt feed the camera feed thru the VTEdit interface.
As Jim said, the live stuff that you can put in VT-Edit is only for switcher triggering.
That is the point it is for setups and triggering...like an enhanced emem.
But that along with the other Utilities are a POWERFUL macro system for LIVE production and setups using a DDR....with a click on a sub made of Utilities you now have a whole new switcher setup...there are still some things missing but it is still VERY POWERFUL.

After accepting an invitation for a date, a storybook romance ensued with her life's one and only true love, Vann Lynn. The lovebirds joined together in marriage in 1958 rocketing away on a lifetime of exploration and adventure.
They relocated to the South Carolina Upstate in 1962 where Lib spent time creating a loving home and being a wonderful wife and mother of two rambunctious boys. She was immensely proud of her sons and attended all of their school programs, PTA meetings, sporting events, awards ceremonies, Scouting activities and operated "Mom?s Taxi Service."
Lib worked a variety of jobs after her sons started school, but spent most of her career with the Greenville County School District working as a teacher's aide at Greer Middle School and later as school secretary at both Woodland and Sara Collins Elementary.
Many former students who attended Woodland and teachers who worked there in the 1960s and 1970s will remember her as the Halloween Witch who handed out treats to all the school?s children. Creating and refining her Wicked Witch?s costume year after year, she felt it was her mission to ensure each and every child received at least one treat of Halloween candy during the fall festivities. Lib also visited many other elementary schools throughout the area delivering treats.
Born with an amazing artistic talent, she was a champion crafter who excelled in a variety of disciplines including knitting, crochet, painting, sewing, basket weaving, stained glass, quilting and other creative endeavors. Lib?s hands were never idle and even when friends visited, she could carry on conversations while her hands continued knitting or crocheting her projects.
As a sister of mercy, when illness or sickness struck, her family and friends could always depend on Lib to drop by with a freshly made batch of home-made chicken soup to warm the soul and bring comfort. On birthdays, holidays, special occasions and celebrations, she was always ready with a handmade gift or sweet baked treat for the celebrants. She worked tirelessly to help bring joy to all those family and friends who knew her.
Her friends frequently commented that she was a joy to know and one of the nicest people imaginable. Consequently, her legacy leaves behind a large group of close personal friends.
She enjoyed testing and improving new recipes in her kitchen. An avid shopper, Lib had an incredible talent for finding and rooting out shopping bargains. She worked tirelessly decorating her home, cutting over two acres of grass weekly and improving the beauty of her yard. She loved a good scary movie and watching The Walking Dead was a weekly passion. She also participated in many outdoor activities and could usually outdo her children with a fishing rod and wiggling worm dangling from the hook.
She and Vann traveled extensively throughout the entire United States on many long distance adventures to national parks, historic venues, Las Vegas, most of the 50 states and to visit family. Florida?s Gulf Coast was a frequent destination.
Lib and Vann shared a truly magical lifelong bond. He was the pilot and she was the navigator who steered them both through a lifetime of travel, excitement, companionship and love. They were a true team and together they overcame many of the challenges life threw at them. Because of their shared commitment and hard work, they were also able to enjoy many of the pleasures a lifetime friendship provides and they celebrated their love for each other daily. During their retirement years, Vann provided her with breakfast in bed topped off with a rose on many mornings.
He loved her, she loved him and only death could separate them.

The Lifted Brow has an app has a great user interface. The print magazine is published quarterly and a digital version is published monthly, in parts. I have been reading the sample issue on the app at the moment.
Meanjin is 75 years old, and is a very traditional in concept (essay, poetry, fiction, memoire). I love trawling through the website to find interesting reads. It can be a real time drain but super fascinating. The print version is published quarterly. Pieces are later put up online.
Seizure is a recent find for me. I met the founder at a stall at Noted, and looked it up. I found a treasure trove and have been reading ever since. It is now only published digitally, but back issues can be bought in print.
Dumbo Feather is a magazine I always buy in print. It's full over interviews with interesting people, their tagline is "Conversations with extraordinary people" which is apt. It is published quarterly in print.
Overland is also published quarterly, and digitally on its website. The print copy is always very visually appealing, but I generally read digitally.
Fatima Measham (a favourite of mine) wrote this fantastic essay about postcode superiority and living in Werribee.
Hugh Rundle wrote this piece for Overland about Trove (the Australian National Library digitisation/open access project) and it's importance to Australia.
Kaitlyn Plyley wrote How to Talk to Sick People over on Seizure which is great.
I wouldn't really call The Conversation a literary magazine, but this is an excellent piece about Australia and the language used about our history.

Madrid is an open-minded city where culture, entertainment and business share an attractive, thriving space. Thanks to its modern and cosmopolitan flare and to the friendly and passionate character of Madrilenians, the Spanish capital makes everyone feel right at home while providing them with some of the world's most interesting tourist attractions.
Over eighty museums and more than two thousand monuments -both historical and artistic-, contribute to the city's richness and bear witness to the history and the art of all those who have populated Madrid throughout the centuries. Without this heritage it would be impossible to understand European and world history. Madrid's cultural legacy offers visitors an unprecedented tour: the Art Walk (which includes the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía National Museum and Art Centre, the Thyssen - Bornemisza Museum and, more recently, CaixaForum). It is a unique walk through painting, sculpture, architecture and nature. But cultural heritage can also be appreciated on the streets. A walk through the many sides of Madrid offers a survey through past eras: the Hapsburg dynasty, the Bourbons, the Middle Ages, the 19th Century and even the times of Goya or Velázquez.
Those who visit Madrid will for sure know that it is one of the world's liveliest, most entertaining and vibrant cities during the day, but even more so at night. Madrid offers visitors all imaginable options for leisure and entertainment. One of the most popular attractions is musical theatre. Gran Vía, also known as Madrid's Broadway, has become a reference for this musical genre in Spain.
With almost 3,000 hours of sun per year, Madrid is undoubtedly a luminous and warm city. Its Mediterranean continental climate is an invitation to walk through its streets. There is a great number of parks throughout the city, making it the greenest capital in Europe. In fact, Madrid has two true "green lungs": El Retiro park and Casa de Campo. In addition, the ongoing Madrid Río (Madrid River) Project will transform some 820 hectares into a fluvial park by 2015.
With over 3,000 restaurants, Madrid can be considered a city where one can taste all the different cuisines in the world, as well as Spanish dishes. Undoubtedly, it also shows the richness of its own gastronomy with the cocido madrileño as its undisputed representative, while offering plenty of opportunities to try tapas. Aside from traditional flavours and styles, there is a new trend of top-quality cuisine, referred to as "designer's" or "author's" cuisine, which is considered avant-garde gastronomy to satisfy the most exquisite palates.
Madrid hosts over 4,000 congresses and conventions every year. There is a wide range of venues on offer, which include Feria de Madrid trade fair grounds (Ifema) and the future International Convention Centre to be opened by 2011. Furthermore, the excellent communications -such as Madrid-Barajas International Airport-, its top-quality hotels, and its significant cultural and entertainment offer will surely make the organization of any business event a clear success.
Business tourism in Madrid has found a great support in Madrid Convention Bureau (MCB). This organization was founded in 1984 by the City Council in collaboration with several public institutions and private companies at the time. It promotes business tourism, convention bids and incentive travel.
Shopping in Madrid appeals to everybody for its variety, its quality and for the multiple alluring choices offered: from the most modern premises to the old traditional shops in the city centre. Madrid has several well-defined shopping areas: Gran Vía, Calle Preciados, the Azca-Orense area, Chueca and Calle Fuencarral, Calle Bravo Murillo or the historical city centre. However, it is in the Salamanca neighborhood, particularly on Calle de Serrano and its surroundings, where one can find the major boutiques, luxury jewelleries and gift shops.
A visit to the flea market El Rastro in Madrid is a must, as it is one of the world's most famous street markets. This experience is more about seeing than buying and, of course, about being seduced by the most traditional side of Madrid.
The city of Madrid is an unbeatable place to search for the essence of luxury and exclusiveness, offering the best in terms of accommodation, gastronomy, shopping and entertainment. Visitors will be able to enjoy a choice of five star hotels -from classical standards to the most avant-garde and minimalist fares-, prestigious restaurants donning Michelin stars, private visits to world-famous museums or shopping at renowned national and international luxury firms located on the Golden Mile.
Sports are intensely lived in the city and there are a large number of specialized facilities to practice any discipline as well as to watch the best sports professionals. Madrid hosts football and basketball games featuring its most international teams -Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid-, and holds important sporting events such as the Madrid Master Series, the Madrid Golf Open, the San Silvestre Vallecana Race or the Sports Day.


If you run a WordPress blog, you're likely using (or at least familiar) with Yoast SEO.
In this guide, Ignite's Director of Strategy Chrystal Lenardson will walk you through a few of the most effective Yoast SEO settings.
Why Should Websites Use the Yoast SEO Plugin?
I don't think I have to tell you this, but every website needs to be taking SEO seriously.
Thing is, SEO is complicated. And getting it right on every page and piece of content you produce doesn't come easy.
WordPress itself is a great place to start. But if you really want to step up your SEO game, you'll need the help of an SEO plugin.
The Yoast SEO plugin is far and away the most popular. In fact, it's the most used plugin by all WordPress users.
It helps you easily optimize your site, analyzes your content and provides recommendations for optimizing meta tags, images, etc.
There's a clear focus on content, helping users write, optimize, and structure their content better.
That also extends to custom post titles, meta descriptions and meta keywords for posts and pages, as well as handling XML sitemaps and more hidden features JSON-LD and canonicals.
And all that? Is really just the tip of the iceberg.
What Features Does Yoast SEO Plugin Offer?
First thing to know: there are two versions of Yoast SEO. The free and the premium version.
Naturally, premium comes with a few more complex features (full list of what's available for each here).
By now, you're (hopefully) convinced you need the Yoast SEO plugin in your life.
Luckily, installing it is super simple, and follows the same process as any other plugin installation.
Search for Yoast SEO, install the plugin, and activate when installation is finished.
And easy as that, you're done.
The next step in getting your Yoast SEO plugin up and running is configuration.
General – general settings; connecting Webmaster tools, post types, etc.
Search Appearance – customize custom and meta templates, etc.
Tools – more advanced settings including bulk editor, import/export tool, etc.
There's no shortage of guides to walk you through the general settings of Yoast SEO (in fact, Yoast itself has a good one here).
But there are few recommended settings I implement as a general rule that your average guide won't tell you.
Here are a few I always include to help make Yoast SEO even more effective.
We highly recommend using this feature, as it can fix a lot of common issues with tons of thin content image pages being generated that lower the overall quality of your site.
The gist of the feature is this: when you upload an image to WordPress, WordPress creates a separate attachment URL for the image.
These URLs are considered thin, in that they only store the image – and usually no other content.
As you can imagine, this can generate a lot of unnecessary URLs. Think about all the images you might upload in a given blog post or page – and then imagine all the URLs they could create.
That adds a lot of pages to your site, without the quality content to justify them. That's bad for your SEO.
While WordPress automatically creates the URLs, the Yoast SEO plugin can automatically turn them off.
Find this by navigating the Search Appearance section under the Media tab.
If it's already set to "Yes," great. If not, it's recommended you make the switch.
Most people don't use the author or date archives features on their WordPress blog.
Archive pages are, essentially, a collection of pages. In Yoast, those collections are made by author or date.
So, an author archive page would list all the articles written by a specific author.
But like attachment URLs, these generate a lot of extra URLs that don't provide any value to you.
And, because it's listing the same piece of content multiple times, you can also run into duplicate content issues.
To avoid any issues, I highly recommend you turn both settings off.
In Yoast, your taxonomies are categories and tags.
If you have WordPress experience, you probably know that these help organize your content and make it easier for users to find related content to what they've been interacting with.
Most taxonomies have a hierarchical structure. And the bigger the site, the more structured the hierarchy will be.
By using the taxonomy settings area and custom taxonomies, you can dynamically optimize your categories and tags so that your page title reflects the careful keyword research that you've performed to ensure that your blog category pages are appropriately relevant to visitors who land on them.
For anyone unfamiliar, dynamic SEO essentially allows you to apply a title format that will be dynamically optimized for all pages in a given category.
Doing so, in this case, will not only help users better understand your site and its various content categories, but allow you to optimize your categories and tags for SEO.
As WordPress user, there's no reason you shouldn't be using Yoast SEO.
But to use it most effectively, make sure you're implementing the recommended settings above.

LLC stands for a minimal liability company. LLC's run much the same method as a company, because it is a legal entity that could conduct business under its very own name. An increasing number of entrepreneur' are electing to develop LLC's yearly but why exactly are so many company owner currently doing this?
. By forming an LLC, preserving and also operating it properly, you along with other members (owners of an llc are called participants) included need to not be held personally liable for things that may go wrong during the training course of company or any one of the financial obligations that are experienced. This means that personal properties of the members are secured as well as won't be used as a method of resolving company financial debts.
So simply exactly how precisely do you deal with creating an LLC? Believe it or not if you wish to create an LLC you will certainly locate it to be a somewhat straightforward process and also it may be among the very best points that you ever before provide for your organisation. As a matter of fact all you actually have to do is the following to earn it lawful and a reality:.
First you will have to pick a name for your service. There are 2 important aspects when it pertains to doing this. The apparent one is you have to make certain the name you want is offered as well as second of all you have to make sure that it adheres to your state's restricted liability company statutes such as finishing with LLC. Better, some words might be prohibited by your state such as financial institution or insurance.
Following you have to submit development documents with the state. These are normally referred to as the posts of organization or a certificate of formation, There is a cost to file the documents with the state as well as can vary between $50 to $500. When your LLC filing has been approved by the state you ought to after that create an LLC operating arrangement.

LLC's or a Limited Liability Company is a kind of entity that you have the ability to register in numerous states. You have the ability to sign up a LLC via the Assistant of States' workplace in the state that you intend to form an LLC within.
LLC's are created for several reasons and one major factor could be the tax advantages that can be acquired. Taxes for Restricted Responsibility Business are done using something called pass through taxation. This implies that the income gained by the business in addition to tax obligations for the business would be reported by the members of the Limited Obligation Company, it would certainly not be separate from the individual.
A benefit that Limited Liability Companies also offer is the liberty to run your service without the trouble of continual reporting. Unlike companies, LLC's are not called for to maintain a document of conference minutes e.t.c. This makes it a great deal much easier to run an LLC, specifically for brand-new entrepreneur that will not have time to spend making sure they did the appropriate paper work.
Making use of a third party to sign up new LLC's, could be valuable also. Not only does it remove the worry of paper work, but it likewise offers you the guarantee that the documentation is done correctly, getting rid of any kind of possibility of troubles in the future.
C-Corp: You are intending to raise outside funding from a group of capitalists, believe your company will certainly grow to be a big business as well as potentially go public someday, or you 'd choose to have all taxes managed at the corporate level instead of passed thru to private investors including on your own.
LLC: You expect your business to be smaller as well as not have as lots of shareholders, and also to increase little (if any) outside capital. You do not expect to go public however think it is more likely you will intend to pay the revenues made by the company out to shareholders regularly.
Still can not make a decision? We'll define each entity key in more information which hopefully helps with your choice making.
LLC– Limited Liability Company. These entities were developed to make it possible for company owner to set-up a legal entity that gives them private lawful and financial protections (presuming you do not co-sign for the LLC's liabilities) while maintaining a tax reporting framework that enables the business owner to tape-record profits as well as losses on their personal tax obligations. Therefore, LLC's are taken into consideration "Pass Via" entities for tax obligation purposes, suggesting that the taxable revenues or losses for the business are passed thru to the business owners, who record these as component of their individual tax filings. The LLC does not pay company taxes commercial and also does not collect losses for future tax obligation offsets. All this is passed thru to owners.
The LLC framework is generally best for smaller firms where there are a few proprietors that are actively associated with the business procedures (owners of an LLC are divided right into active as well as passive owners, and also passive owners get considerably less tax obligation advantages from an LLC structure. To be considered "Energetic" you need to be satisfy the Internal Revenue Service's definition of being meaningfully associated with the procedures of the business). LLC's in most states are restricted in terms of the variety of investors they can have, although this is changing as well as there are ways around these limitations, however once more, LLCs are made for smaller companies so as you expand and also your shareholder base grows, you may meet several of these constraints.
LLC's are likewise an excellent choice in scenarios where you expect the company with have substantial profits and you intend to pay those bent on shareholders on a regular basis. Since they are "Pass Via" entities, LLC's are not strained for the revenues as well as rather this is done at the private proprietor level. Therefore, any money from earnings in the LLC has been paid for in regards to taxes currently by the proprietors, and could be distributed to proprietors without any extra tax obligation due. This is various from a C-Corporation that faces exactly what is called "Dual Taxation" in that the company pays tax obligations for its revenues, and after that shareholders pay taxes for any circulations (returns) paid to them. It is essential to note that LLC's do not need to distribute revenues to shareholders. You could elect to maintain earnings in the company instead to reinvest in business (or just maintain for a rainy day). Each holders share of these earnings is tracked in their funding account (part of the equity item of your annual report).
We do not have information to reveal it, yet have spoken with some individuals that they think LLC's obtain marked down worths to some degree in a purchase, in particular if the acquirer is a C-Corp (note: practically every public company in the United States is a C-Corp). There are two plausible disagreements for this sight. First, because LLCs are not tired, they are more probable to have some fashionable stuff going on when it concerns capital accounts, preserved earnings, etc. Since C-Corp financing teams do not comprehend LLCs also, they might be understandably careful, which could influence the evaluation paid. The 2nd factor is that it is perceived as being simpler for a C-Corp to acquire one more C-Corp, whether it is the process of tackling superior supply alternatives, handling tax matters for the stub year of the purchase or other variables, there is probably some sensible debate here. Again, we do not have data to back this up, yet it is worth discussing as you consider the most effective structure for your company.
One last note on LLCs. If you have any strategies to raise cash from institutional capitalists, DO NOT develop a LLC. There is a basic explanation for this. The majority of endeavor funds are prohibited from investing in LLC's due to the fact that these entities could develop UBTI (unrelated organisation taxable income) for the endeavor fund, and therefore for the funds limited companions. The majority of venture fund limited partners are charitable entities, and one of the most convenient means to mess up this classification is to receive UBTI. As a result, venture fund papers go to fantastic lengths to ensure they will certainly not remain in a situation where they might take on UBTI. Before you create a remark below, yes, you are appropriate, there are plenty of examples of endeavor companies purchasing LLCs (delay, but you claimed …). NEVERTHELESS, in these instances, the funds in fact purchased something called a "blocker corp", which is a C-Corp formed for the express function of investing in a LLC. This "blocker corp" successfully blocks UBTI from coming into the fund, because it is dealt with within the blocker corp's C-Corp framework. So, yes, they CAN make a financial investment in an LLC, it is an annoyance for endeavor funds to do this as well as they would considerably like you have a C-Corp. We 'd likewise say that going in to pitch a venture fund with a LLC structure will certainly reveal you as being rather naïve concerning companies as well as endeavor funding, which might not be a major knock, however is still a knock. Given that, why supply a feasible reason for a prospective capitalist to look elsewhere?
C-Corporation. C-Corporations are what we consider "normal" service entities due to the fact that these are the kinds of entities we see and also collaborate with each day. C-Corps are taxable business entities, indicating that every year they report their profits/losses and pay taxes (state as well as federal) when they make a profit, as well as record a tax loss carryforward when they have a loss (these can generally be applied against future year earnings for tax obligation objectives). Investors in C-Corps have no tax ramifications from profits or losses as an outcome of possessing shares in the entity, and also would just need to pay taxes if they were to obtain a dividend settlement from the company or were to sell their shares for an earnings. In addition, the 'Business Shroud' of C-Corps is very strong in lawful situations, suggesting it is basically uncommon that an investor of a company would certainly have any kind of lawful responsibility for the actions of the business through simply being a shareholder. While LLCs have comparable protections, they are less checked in the courts and since these entities are usually related to individual organisations, it remains in some cases feasible for plantiffs to "puncture the company shroud". There is a vast amount of legal precendent for C-Corporations, which is an essential factor to consider, specifically as you business expands and the likelihood of some jerk trying to bilk money from you for some fraudulent lawful case increases (do you get the sense we do not like test attorneys?).
The key downsides for a C-Corp is that they are somewhat more costly to preserve from a lawful and also tax filings perspective, and face "double taxation" when distributing profits to shareholders. This second piece is one of the most vital, as well as is best explained with a quick example. Take a company that pays 25% in tax obligations on every dollar of revenue, with shareholders who each pay taxes at a 30% effective price. The company reports revenues of $1,000 for the year, and also pays $250 of that in tax obligations. The company chooses to pay the rest to investors, so pays out $750 in dividends. Shareholders report these rewards and also earnings, and also are tired on them at the 30% rate (not at the lower Funding Gains tax rate), so of the $750 in rewards paid, $225 mosts likely to pay taxes. So, with a C-Corp, of the $1,000 in profits, $475, or 47.5% is paid in tax obligations. If the entity were a LLC, the business would pay no tax on the $1,000 earnings. Rather, individuals would pay taxes on these profits at their individual tax rate, so in this instance, $300 would certainly go towards tax obligations, and the various other $700 would certainly be paid to investors. This is a 17.5% tax obligation hit for having a C-Corp structure, which allows (and in our sight a ridiculous process, yet we doubt this gets transformed anytime soon, or ever).
Right here is the bright side. If you are preparing to raise venture capital or cash from Angel investors, it is not likely you will certainly ever pay returns anyways, so you should not allow the double taxes concern bother you excessive. Financiers expecting to make multiples on their preliminary financial investment are going to have a hard time making an acceptable rate of return based upon dividend payments. While every favored financing structure we have ever before seen has rewards as part of the bargain, these are non-cumulative (or ought to be) and also are actually only in position as a defense mechanism for investors (to stop common holders from paying out all of the capital in a service to themselves).
On equilibrium, we would recommend you select a C-Corp unless you are a small company or have a little group of proprietors. This is one to review with your founders as well as lawful advisors, however if you would certainly inspect any of packages in the fast summary above for C-Corp, we would certainly recommend performing.
Quick note: It is feasible to transform an entity from a LLC to a C-Corp. It can be a discomfort to do this, yet it can be accomplished, so don't stress if you are currently created as a LLC, you can change it later– we would certainly suggest you plan to do it along with an outside financing round as it is not an inexpensive procedure. Allowing possible capitalists recognize you are a LLC but plan to transform with the financing can help with the minor knock we assume you'll get for being a LLC to begin with.
Second quick note: If you prepare to self-fund business for a number of years prior to elevating outdoors resources and enjoy optimal tax preparation (and have a good tax as well as company attorney), take into consideration structuring as an LLC in order to identify early year losses personally prior to you raise outdoors money. Strategy to convert when your company begins to develop an earnings or when you raise outside funding (whichever precedes). This just functions if you are self funding with a meaningful quantity of money, as well as will certainly need extra job (and also lawful costs), so we doubt this is the best course for concerning 97% of the people reviewing this post, yet we like tax optimization so figured we 'd discuss it for the 3% of you out there.
Facilitates outside financial investment – lots of financiers could only purchase C-corporations.
. Possible customers could feel that a firm is more considerable as well as more "genuine" than an LLC.
May get a lot more pricey and also challenging as service expands.
To your 2nd inquiry, you are far better off hiring a legal representative to do it for you if there is more than someone (definition you will need an Operating Contract) or there is any intricacy.
I concur that maybe the most integral part is composing a good operating contract, services like legal zoom will certainly not offer you with a custom-made Operating Contract as well as accounting professionals don't truly like drafting controling records.
An operating contract that is tailored to your LLC ought to be prepared and also submitted by your company legal representative so that it is accurate and also full.

Can treadmill exercise capacity be predicted from arm ergometry results?
E. M. Cullinane, B. Ribeiro, S. P. Sady, F. Miller, P. D. Thompson
Arm exercise testing is used clinically in patients with leg disability. Few studies have reported normal arm performance values for middle-aged subjects, however, and physicians are more familiar with treadmill exercise. A total of 36 healthy men, aged 30 to 39 years (n = 10), 40 to 49 years (n = 10), 50 to 59 years (n = 9), or 60 to 69 years (n = 7) were evaluated using an incremental arm crank test and a Bruce treadmill test. Maximum oxygen consumption (V̇O(2max)) for treadmill and arm exercise declined with age at rates of 0.5 and 0.3 mL · kg-1 · min-1 · yr-1, respectively, or 10% per decade. Arm exercise V̇O(2max) values (X ± SD) for the four advancing age groups (26 ± 8.3, 22 ± 5.4, 21 ± 2.7, 16 ± 2.8 mL · kg-1 · min-1, respectively) were 60% of the corresponding treadmill V̇O(2max) values. Maximum heart rate (HR) during arm exercise was 88% of that achieved with treadmill exercise for all age groups. Arm and treadmill V̇O(2max) were correlated (r = 0.81, P < 0.01), and arm and treadmill test duration were moderately related (r = 0.70, P < 0.05). The 95% confidence intervals for estimating individual treadmill time from the arm test encompassed two Bruce stages, however, prohibiting an accurate estimation of treadmill performance from the arm crank results. It was concluded that arm performance should be compared directly with existing norms for arm exercise and cannot be used to estimate individual treadmill capacity.

The traveller enters the location and up come hundreds of hotels in the area, 12 at a time, with a map. The traveller can filter on dates and price and deals to see the places on offer. All of a sudden this is enormously powerful. When the traveller clicks on a selected hotel, they are shown prices on the hotel's own website, as well as prices on other places advertised like booking.com, expedia, agoda, etc. If they wish, they can book direct.
When the hotels run out, other options come up, including holiday houses/vacation rentals, probably for regional locations.
When a traveller clicks on the Sea Zen listing, they can choose between my website or on my Booking.com entry. My hope is they will click on my website and book direct.
At the moment, it is hard to find the Hotels portal unless you know about it or use it as part of Google Flights. It is the same underlying technology as the map and listing that comes up when a traveller does a normal google search for accommodation, but that just currently comes up with 4 results.
You should keep an eye open for Google Hotels and how it evolves, and make sure you will be listed.
To be listed on the normal Google map and Google Hotels, you just need to list on Google My Business.
Or see the Google instructions here.
If you haven't already listed on My Business, you should do it now.
If you are already on google My Business, you don't need to do anything. However, it also helps to have your own website so Google My Business sends visitors direct to your own website.
As news emerges about Google Hotels in the coming year, we'll keep you informed.
