"This Extraordinary Phenomenon": Algerian Jewish Henna via a Hebrew-Christian Missionary
While looking through some old files last month, I re-found an old story that I had come across years ago, about Jewish henna in Algeria! It was so interesting that I decided to write an article about it to submit to a journal! I'll let you all know how that goes… In the meantime, here's a little taste for you to see how my research happens.
The story was published in The Church of England magazine in March 1858, and comes from the correspondence of Rev. J.B. Ginsburg, who at the time was the representative for the London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews (or London Jews' Society, or LJS, for short) in Algeria.
Ginsburg was born Baruch Ginsburg — a Jew — in Kiev, around 1826. His father, Saul Ginsburg, was a rabbi, and trained his son for the same role. After his father's death, Baruch left Kiev and traveled through Europe, seeking a spiritual home. He finally found it in a Hebrew translation of the New Testament; he converted to Christianity in Strasburg in 1847 and then moved to England to study in a theological seminary. In the 19th century, there was a widespread movement of "Hebrew Christians," Jews who had converted to Christianity but maintained their ethnic identity as Jews, and often served as missionaries to their unconverted brethren (in this post, I mentioned another well-known Hebrew-Christian missionary, Joseph Wolff).

Ginsburg, interestingly, didn't go back to Europe, but instead to Africa! In 1857, he was appointed to the LJS Mission in Constantine, Algeria; this story takes place in September 1857, just after his arrival. He tells of coming across "four Jewish females, one of them carrying a plate filled with 'henna,' in the midst of which was a lighted tallow candle, surrounded with eggs. This extraordinary phenomenon, I thought, must be a religious ceremony" (pg. 246). He therefore stops to watch, and then proceeds to follow the procession, noting that the woman leading it uttered "loud shrieks… clamorous and frightful gesticulations" with her hand by her chin. They arrive at a small house, where a henna ceremony for a Jewish bride is taking place. This is, in fact, one of the oldest eyewitness descriptions we have of a Jewish henna ceremony; normally travelers only were able to see brides who had already been decorated. Unfortunately the utility of this source in reconstructing Algerian Jewish henna traditions is limited not only by Ginsburg's unfamiliarity with his surroundings but also by his explicit ideological motives in retelling this story.
So what can we learn about 19th century Algerian Jewish henna traditions from Ginsburg's narrative?
Jewish Algerian girl with hennaed nails,
late-19th century
He describes the bride, who was 13 years old, "almost enveloped in chaplets, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and chains, their eyebrows blackened with kehol, and their fingers and toe-nails coloured red with the above-mentioned henna" (pp. 246-247). If her hands have already been hennaed, it appears that this is the second of several henna ceremonies; as we see, this night is for hennaing her hair. This ceremony, also known in Moroccan communities as azmomeg or nhar at-tarf al-byad (Malka 1946, pg. 55; Ben-Ami 1974, pg. 16), was practiced by until the mid-20th century, and is remembered today (Allouche-Benayoun 1999, pg. 206; Wasserfall 1999).
Ginsburg describes how the bride's hair is covered with henna paste, wrapped in ribbons, and left for a week: "it was to retain the colour, and remain in a dishevelled condition for eight days" (pg. 247). While this is going on, he observes, "the bride's relations and friends cried bitterly; and the rest talked loudly and laughed." This is typical for henna ceremonies, which were community celebrations; nonetheless it was expected that the bride's family would display some (ritualized) displays of sadness and even despair. The bride's mother would sing emotional laments for the loss of her child who was moving away. One example, provided by Ben-Ami (1974, pg. 64)
While the tamzwarat [bridal attendants] comb her hair, the bride cries:
'O thankless father!
Why have you given your daughter
To the top of the mountain?
Why did you not say
My daughter is young
She will stay close to me!'
Her father responds to her, while crying:
'Give the girl to her cousin,
She will come back and return to her mother.'
Interestingly, Ginsburg adds that at the end of the week, the rabbi would perform "the religious ceremony of the marriage, which had already been performed by the civil authorities" (pg. 247). That is, the Jews of Constantine would have their marriage registered with the civil authorities first, and then perform the week-long traditional festivities, concluding with the religious ceremony of qiddushin. This testifies to the tension already present in the Algerian Jewish community between local religious custom and the European colonial presence. Algerian Jews would become progressively more and more "Francized," culminating in the naturalization of Algerian Jewry (as French citizens) by the Crémieux Decree in 1870.
Jewish woman with hennaed nails,
Algiers, late-19th century
After the ceremony is done, Ginsburg comes into full missionary force, interrogating the shamash [caretaker] on whether this 'minhag' [custom] with "the hideous gestures of the crier and the washing of the hair" (pg. 247) would lead non-Jews to think that the Jews were a great nation, wise and righteous (citing Deuteronomy 4:7-8) or wicked and foolish, having abandoned God (citing Jeremiah 2:13). Ginsburg does not consider whether, for example, Algerian Muslims would think it perfectly normal for Jews to have a henna ceremony, since they in fact would likely hold a similar ceremony themselves. In any case the shamash had no reply, except to shrug his shoulders and say, "It is a minhag."
So in summary, we know that in 19th century Algeria:
the Jewish community of Constantine celebrated marriages with henna ceremonies — one for hennaing the hands and feet, and another for hennaing the hair;
the henna was brought in a procession to the bride's house, with a candle in the middle;
the ceremony of hennaing the hair was similar to the Moroccan azmomeg ceremony: her hair was covered with henna paste and wrapped up with ribbons, to be left for a week;
the bride, who was married young, exchanged sad songs with her family, while her friends and community celebrated;
the Jewish community also had their marriages registered with the French civil authorities;
Algerian Jews thought positively of henna ceremonies as a minhag [custom] of their community, and did not respond to missionary attempts to abandon it.
All in all, some useful evidence of henna traditions among Algerian Jewish communities in the 19th century. Click here if you want to read the full story as it appears in the magazine.

Bond Hopkins was lifted out of obscurity by the windfall of the estates of 'Vulture' Hopkins. In his first Parliament he disappointed the hopes of the Whigs by supporting Pitt's administration. In 1790, at a loss for a seat, he contested Stafford, but his long purse was not enough there. Instead, he became the guest of Edmund Wilkins at Malmesbury. He was still reckoned favourable to relief for religious dissenters in April 1791, but left no mark on that Parliament, dying 30 Jan. 1794, 'in his 48th year'. He had 'laboured under a complication of diseases for a long period'. He bequeathed his wealth to his surviving daughter, who married Richard Mansel Philipps*, and his realty to an illegitimate son. He had rebuilt Painshill and was building 'an expensive and large house' at Broadstairs at the time of his death.

Coming Back to Life Solo 1 (Pulse Live)
"Coming Back to Life" is a song from Pink Floyd's 1994 album The Division Bell, and is credited solely to David Gilmour."Pulse" (stylised as p·u·l·s·e) is a live double album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released through EMI Records on 29 May 1995 in the United Kingdom and by Columbia Records on 6 June 1995 in the United States, containing songs from their albums.
The album was recorded during the band's Division Bell Tour in 1994, specifically the UK and European leg, which ran from July to October 1994 (See Pink Floyd live performances). The tour was sponsored in Europe by Volkswagen, which also issued a commemorative version of its top-selling car, the "Golf Pink Floyd", one of which was given as a prize at each concert. It was a standard Golf with Pink Floyd decals and a premium stereo, and had Volkswagen's most environmentally friendly engine, at Gilmour's insistence. The special edition, originally scheduled for a 1996 release, was cancelled.

A 16-item paired stimulus (PS) preference assessments was utilized to identify preference categories. A single item from both the highly-preferred (HP) and less preferred (LP) categories as well as two categorically similar but untested items were then utilized during a reinforcer assessment. An alternating treatments design with an initial baseline and final best treatment phase was implemented to assess the comparative effectiveness of the tested versus untested stimuli to act as reinforcers. The reinforcer assessment involved implementation of discrete trial teaching methods to instruct four separate but similar tasks. Each task was paired with an edible item. During treatment, correct responding resulted in contingent access to a small piece of the edible item that had been paired with the task. Five school-age children from a local public-school district served as participants. Results of the preference assessment indicated clear preferences categories for most participants. Results of the reinforcer assessment show that for three of the five participants, mastery criteria were met first with items from the HP category. Following a transition into the best-treatment only phase, each task met mastery criteria. The research supports the use of the PS preference assessment in identifying both categories and single items that can later be used as reinforcers in applied settings.

Ema review: Burns with destructive chaos
A blazing Marianna Di Girolama
Spectacular choreography
Slow-smouldering plot
Pablo Larraín's portrait of a lady on fire burns with destructive chaos and new order.
Anton Bitel | On 01, May 2020
Director: Pablo Larraín
Cast: Marianna Di Girolama, Gael García Bernal, Paola Giannini, Santiago Cabrera
Certificate: 15
Watch Ema online in the UK: All 4 / Apple TV (iTunes) / Prime Video (Buy/Rent)
Ema opens with the image of a traffic light. It is a state-erected sign for vehicles to stop and go, a a signifier of social order – except that this one, suspended over a street in Valparaíso at night, is on fire, as a woman watches her handiwork from below, with a flamethrower slung over her back.
This is Ema (Marianna Di Girolama) – a talented reggaeton dancer, a free lover, a questionable mother, an amateur arsonist and an agent of chaos leaving a scorched trail of damage in her wake – and Pablo Larraín's film is a multi-faceted portrait of her struggles, her relationships and her rebellions. Or at least it seems like a portrait, until it suddenly becomes clear that from all these apparently disparate episodes a plot has been steadily emerging, almost entirely unnoticed until its full impact hits, like an explosion of destructive flame.
Like the red and green glow of the traffic lights in that opening scene, much of Ema is lit in a rich, modernist neon – and if Ema is frequently in motion, whether on the dance floor or in the streets or in bed, DP Sergio Armstrong's camera tracks her moves with a matching restlessness. Yet Ema stops as much as she goes. Although her marriage with the older, "weird" choreographer Gastón (Gael García Bernal) seems a model of open progressiveness, in fact they have become stuck. For, having adopted and then abandoned the pre-adolescent Polo (Cristián Felipe Suárez) after he set fire to their house and burnt the face of Ema's sister, the couple has been locked in an endless cycle of mutual recrimination, with Gastón repeatedly accusing Ema of being a bad mother, and Ema mocking Gastón for the infertility that stopped him giving her a child of their own. Their primal scene – the loss of Polo, with all the grief and guilt that it has brought – is one which they cannot stop painfully revisiting, and from which they are incapable of moving on.
Even after Ema has left Gastón's troupe and initialised divorce proceedings against him – and embarked on separate affairs with members of her dance group, her divorce lawyer Raquel (Paola Giannini) and with Anibal (Santiago Cabrera), the fireman who put out one of the blazes she started – she cannot help returning to her husband, and to thoughts of the young boy they had long since left behind. Yet even Ema's fixation on family will in no way conform to the conservative model, as the young woman burns down any convention that might block her from doing what she wants.
Beautifully shot with hyperreal lighting (especially in the night scenes), cut together by Sebastián Sepúlveda like an impressionistic jigsaw puzzle, and unfolding piece by piece until the full picture of what is going on reveals itself, Ema is 2019's other portrait of a lady on fire, as its artist heroine destroys everything to rebuild her own kind of order. Marianna Di Girolama's performance is one of seductive physicality and defiant determination. "When you know what I'm doing and why, you will be horrified," she tells Anibal at their first tryst – and she is not wrong. If only, behind the flames of passion that she ignites in others, they were able to see the red light, and stop before it was too late to avoid the coming collision.
Ema is available on All 4 until 24th May 2021.

Q: Detecting subject in images I know there are some pretty impressive detection engines out there, which will let you input an image, and out comes whatever is the "main subject" in the image.
Lets say you give it a picture of a football, and it will return the text "football".
However I dont recall what these engines are called, and I just wonder if anyone has any pointers or names for good detection engines I can use with PHP?

A: Object detection algorithms? Maybe you could start of with something like Face Detection with PHP, but that ofcourse depends on what you want to do.

A: i stumbled across something like this lately here, but no code or service for now. http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/deepimagesent/  or here http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.4555

I think you should use a transparent image with invisible borders, which may help you achieve the look & feel what you are expecting.
@Aswathy You can size the image using cliptobounds and set Bounds of UIImageView which helps you to scale the image properly on map.

About our peer review process
The journal conducts a peer review process for the publication of scientific and technological research, reflection, and review of subject matter papers, (according to the PUBLINDEX - COLCIENCIAS classification), in accordance with the guidelines set by the Committee on Publications Ethics (COPE) and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA).
Phase 1. Editor-in-chief's review: Cuadernos de Administración manages a policy of calling for papers per issue (3 per year) through the Open Journal Systems platform; the Editor-in-chief evaluates whether the new manuscripts meet the journal's internal requirements (see Authors' Guide) and whether they make an important contribution to their fields of study. The editor must respond to the authors whether their manuscript will continue the editorial process (peer review process) or not within 3 weeks of the deadline.
Phase 2. Peer evaluation: the Editor-in-chief sends the manuscript to experts who assesses the document according to the review guidelines of the Cuadernos de Administración journal and must respond to the evaluation within a maximum period of 6 weeks. The following cases may occur at this stage:
If the evaluators issues a positive evaluation: the manuscript continues in the process.
If the evaluators issue a negative evaluation: the manuscript is removed from the process; the Editor-in-chief issues a communication to the authors notifying them of the reasons for rejection.
One evaluator issues a negative evaluation and the other a positive one: the Editorial Committee will make the decision to continue the editorial process based on an evaluation by a third evaluator.
In cases where an evaluation is lower than 2. The editor may review and decide to reject the paper.
In cases where an evaluation is higher than 3.5 and there is no second evaluation under the terms of the call, the author will be asked to submit the article for the next call.
In cases where an evaluation is lower than 3.5 and there is no second evaluation under the terms of the call, the paper will be returned to the author so that he can decide whether to withdraw it or to improve it for a subsequent call.
Cases wherein requesting the evaluation of a third arbitrator is required
Case 1: When an evaluator does not submit the evaluation on the agreed upon date and has had more than two reminders. In the event that the evaluator submits the evaluation after the agreed deadline, Paragraph 1 shall apply for the final decision.
Case 2: When the manuscript receives very conflicting notes.
Paragraph 1: For the final decision, the average score from the three grades will be taken into account.
Paragraph 2: Manuscripts will continue the editorial process as long as they attain a score no lower than three (3.5) for each evaluation. For each number, the committee will set a cut-off score for the selected articles that in no case will be lower than 3.5.
Phase 3. Review by the Editorial Committee: a positive evaluation by the evaluators always includes possibilities for improvement. The editor-in-chief forwards the corrections of the evaluators to the authors, which must be answered within 10 calendar days. If the manuscript meets the expectations of the Editorial Committee, the publication process continues.
The Editor-in-Chief is the director of the editorial process and, together with the Editorial Committee, is the only one who decides whether or not to publish a manuscript; obliteration of information, lack of interest by the authors in the face of requests from the evaluators, suspicions of editorial malpractice, among other aspects, are causes for the withdrawing of manuscripts from the editorial process, which is established in the "Policy for the withdrawal of papers". The peer evaluators are experts in thematic areas, with an academic level of master's degree or higher and proven experience (publication of scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals) in worldwide science circuits.
Cuadernos de Administración is a quarterly publication of the Universidad del Valle, a public higher education institute, and has no financial or political commitments to any academic or business organization. The journal follows the ethical guidelines of the Committee On Publications Ethics (COPE) and the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual 6th Edition (APA, 2011).
Ethical Responsibilities of the Editor-in-Chief
The Editor-in-Chief is in charge of the editorial process of the journal, who ensures compliance with internal standards and the integrity, efficiency and transparency of the editorial process. The following ethical responsibilities appertain to this role:
Communication with authors: he is responsible for providing information regarding the editorial process of each manuscript whenever authors request information about it.
Decision-making: The Editor-in-Chief must guide his decisions on the basis of fairness and impartiality. Economic, commercial and/or personal interests should not prevail over the transparency of the editorial process.
Confidentiality: Communications between editor-authors and editor-reviewers are confidential; the journal uses a blind peer review process, therefore, the identity of authors and reviewers must remain anonymous to avoid any conflict of interest or bias in the evaluation issued by the arbitrators. The Editor-in-Chief should not share information related to the manuscript or its process with third parties or colleagues unrelated to the journal, except when the concept of an expert is needed and for which the express permission of the authors is requested. The Editor-in-Chief should not use the results of scientific research on unpublished manuscripts for his or her own benefit or that of others, except with the express permission of the authors.
Responding to critiques and concerns: The Editor-in-Chief is obliged to respond to authors' and reviewers' concerns and suggestions regarding the contents published by the journal, ensuring the dissemination of dissertations that significantly contribute to the fields of study of the journal using the figure of "Letters to the Editor".
Ethical responsibilities of reviewers
In charge of the academic assessment of the papers, they must hold a position of impartiality and confidentiality; their commitments include:
Confidentiality: Reviewers should not share information related to the manuscript or process they are evaluating with third parties. Should an external opinion be needed, they should seek the express permission of the Editor-in-Chief, as well as the reasons for their request. Similarly, reviewers should not use the content of unpublished manuscripts for their own benefit or that of others. If an author, reader or publisher detects a suspicion of the appropriation of an author's ideas or data by an evaluator, he or she should act in accordance with COPE guidelines regarding the appropriation of ideas and data.
Evaluation capacity: upon receipt of a request for arbitration, reviewers must respond within approximately 7 (seven) days whether they are willing to undertake the process; if their response is positive, they must respond critically and cordially to requests for information from the Editor-in-Chief and the authors. If the reviewer expresses a conflict of interest with the author(s) or the research, he/she must do so in writing to the Editor-in-Chief, who decides on the convenience of accepting or not his/her participation in the evaluation process.
Detection of editorial errors and malpractices: if during the review process, possible malpractices on the part of the authors become evident, the evaluators are obliged to notify the Editor-in-chief, who shall proceed in accordance with the COPE guidelines for attention to editorial malpractices, as the case may be.
Ethical responsibilities of authors
The ethical conduct of authors should be guided by knowledge of and respect for intellectual property rights, and the transparency and integrity of the data presented in the results of their research. Authors should respond ethically to:
Honest and transparent presentation of data and analysis of data: Authors are compelled to presenting clearly and accurately the origin and methods of data collection in their research; likewise, they should also detail the process whenever the Editor-in-chief or reviewers request it. The refusal of the authors to respond to requests of this kind is considered a dubious attitude, and the journal therefore follows the procedures established by COPE with regards to "dubious data".
Confidentiality of research participants: both authors and the Cuadernos de Administración journal are obliged to protect the confidentiality of research participants. Authors should not provide data that would allow the identification and location of research subjects. Likewise, data affecting individuals or entities linked to participants, such as family members, clients or organizations, should not be disclosed. Authors must ensure the publication of participants' personal content through informed consent and submit these documents (if necessary) to the Editor-in-Chief and arbitrators.
Sponsorship and conflicts of interest: the authors have the obligation to declare the entities or persons who have financed the research project wherefrom the paper to be published resulted, as well as the possible conflicts of interest they may have with both the publishing entity and those subject to the research. The American Psychological Association (APA) (2011) considers an author to have conflicts of interest when:
Involved in the organizational structure of a certain entity and the publication of the paper could benefit that organization. This relationship is justified by the existence of a salary, consultancy fees or ownership of shares in the company; in the same way, belonging to a Board of Directors or other decision-making body.
Proven family or personal relationships exist with subjects or organizations under investigation.
In the event of a suspected undisclosed conflict of interest, the journal acts in accordance with COPE guidelines on "Conflict of Interest".
Authorship and acknowledgements: APA (2011) defines authors as follows:
Those who make substantial scientific contributions to the study may include the problem formulation or hypothesis, structuring of the experimental design, organizing and conducting of the statistical analysis, interpretation of results, or writing most of the document.
In addition, authorship also means "taking responsibility for published content" (Tur-Viñes, Fonseca-Mora, and Gutiérrez-San-Miguel, 2012). Smaller contributions in work of support should be published in an author's note as a "Thank You" to those individuals or entities who have participated in activities supporting the main research process. Disputes over authorship (if any) must be resolved between research participants and the editorial process of the paper gets frozen until these are resolved. Authors, under the direction of the journal, should resolve authorship disagreements according to COPE guidelines regarding "Changes in Authorship" as appropriate.
Detection of errors: the authors are obliged to inform the Editor-in-chief about errors detected in the paper after its publication and to request corrections by Cuadernos de Administración.
Arbitration process: when submitting a manuscript to the editing process by Cuadernos de Administración, the authors are obliged to carefully and quickly respond to the suggestions made by the evaluators (response times are stipulated in the Authors' Guide), delay or obliteration in the response is synonymous with lack of interest in the editorial process and is cause for the withdrawal of the manuscript.
Editorial malpractices
In addition to that which regulates the Cuadernos de Administración publication ethics, those practices considered undesirable in the editorial process should also be noted:
Editors and arbitrators: any violation of the confidentiality agreement between editor/authors/arbitrators will be considered editorial malpractice. Similarly, the use of unpublished material in a fraudulent manner (plagiarism) by the Editor-in-chief and the reviewers is deemed unethical and may be penalized by the Copyright and Intellectual Property Law. Finally, any other sort of exploitation of unpublished material by any member of the Editorial Committee, Scientist, panel of arbitrators, or by the Editor-in-Chief is considered malpractice.
Replication: submitting a manuscript for publication in two different journals and different media or in another language is considered malpractice. Authors must comply with the exclusivity agreement required by the journal as a document prior to beginning the editorial process.
Previously published work: Submitting a document for application in Cuadernos de Administración that has already been published in any other means (physical or electronic) is considered unacceptable; authors must comply with the exclusivity agreement required by the journal where it is specifically stated that the document submitted is unpublished. If a case of "Redundant publication" is detected, the journal proceeds according to COPE guidelines.
Piecemeal publication: Cuadernos de Administración invites authors to submit complete and significant manuscripts for the advancement of research fields; piecemeal publication, where several articles from the same research project are presented, is considered a malpractice. APA (2011) mentions a series of exceptions for piecemeal publication, which are those manuscripts product of multidisciplinary research, long-range or longitudinal projects. In these cases, the publication of several papers resulting from a single research is permitted, since the presentation of results is of interest to different audiences and deserves publication in different media. If this occurs, the authors should notify the Editor-in-chief.
Plagiarism and self-plagiarism: besides being penalized by the Copyright and Intellectual Property Law, taking credit for research results that are the author's own is considered malpractice; authors are obliged to cite the previous works necessary for the construction of their manuscript. Likewise, they must cite their own previous works following the same rules as with other authors; self-plagiarism is a malpractice that derives from replication, since citation allows the identification of new contributions made by authors. Cuadernos de Administración uses the "Turnitin" anti-plagiarism tool and adheres to the COPE guidelines regarding "Plagiarism".
Policy of retraction of papers: the Cuadernos de Administración journal adheres to the considerations expressed by the COPE regarding the causes for withdrawal of papers. The main causes for the withdrawal are non-compliance with requirements in the editorial process, suspicion and verification of editorial malpractices by the authors and unethical behavior.
About Fees for Submission of Papers and Editorial Processes
The Cuadernos de Administración journal does not demand any charge from the authors for the submission of their manuscripts or the editorial process thereof. Only in case of acceptance for publication, the authors must carry out the translation or revision in English by a certified translator.

Student Perspective: The Etan Patz Case – Confession, Lack of Physical Evidence and Reasonable Doubt
POST WRITTEN BY: Alexander Zugaro ('15), Pace Law School
The story of the 6-year-old boy, Etan Patz, who had gone missing in SOHO Manhattan in 1979, is one that stretches over several decades. Now, after a ruling on November 24, 2014 by Judge Maxwell Wiley and almost a three month long trial, the story is reaching a conclusion. In 2012, after police re-opened the investigation, Pedro Hernandez confessed to law enforcement that he was responsible for the disappearance and murder of Etan Patz. He told law enforcement that he strangled Etan and disposed of his body. Mr. Hernandez was an 18-year-old man working in a neighborhood convenience store at the time of Patz's disappearance.
However, this past fall a hearing was held regarding the admissibility of Mr. Hernandez's confession. Hernandez's defense attorney, Harvey Fishbein, argued that Hernandez was schizophrenic and bipolar at the time he made his confession. As such, Mr. Hernandez did not understand he could reassert his right against self-incrimination even after he waived his Miranda warnings. Yet, Judge Maxwell Wiley ruled on November 24, 2014 that the confession was admissible, stating that Hernandez waived his Miranda rights and that such waiver was done knowingly and intelligently.
To date the prosecution has not been able to find any evidence corroborating Hernandez's confession, except a statement made by Hernandez's brother who told police that Hernandez had confessed to him two years prior to his arrest and a statement made to members of his prayer group in the summer of 1979, none of whom came forward to testify until after Mr. Hernandez was arrested. The body of Etan Patz was never found, and prosecutors have not presented any physical evidence tying Mr. Hernandez to the boy's disappearance.
The significance of Judge Wiley's ruling is that the jury was able to hear Hernandez's confession and will decide on whether they believe his confession is reliable. Defense attorney Frishbein stated that "Mr. Hernandez is extremely suggestible because of his low I.Q. and other mental handicaps. Anyone who sees these confessions will understand that when the police were finished with him, Mr. Hernandez believed he killed Etan Patz, but that doesn't mean that he did." On the other hand, however, the lead prosecutor stated that Mr. Hernandez's statements contain little-known details about the crime that would be hard for someone to invent. Because Judge Wiley ruled that Hernandez' confession is admissible, the prosecution was able to present this confession as evidence to the jury, leading to the inevitable back and forth between Mr. Fishbein and the prosecutors about the reliability and weight of the confession.
Generally, if a defendant makes a videotaped confession coupled with voluntary admission to at least one other person, such evidence would be nearly impossible for the defense attorney to overcome. However, since in this case there is no tangible evidence corroborating the confession, will the jury doubt the accuracy of Mr. Hernandez' confession? Time will soon tell.
Since the beginning of the trial on January 30, 2015, the defense has continued to undermine the reliability of Hernandez's confession. Not only has the defense argued that the confession was a fantasy invented under police pressure by a man with a weak and malleable mind, plagued by a personality disorder, Mr. Fishbein has presented evidence of an alternative suspect who might have been responsible of Etan Patz' disappearance. Witnesses place Jose A. Ramos, a man convicted of child molestation in an unrelated case, near Etan Patz's home around the time of the murder. Ramos was dating Ms. Susan Harrington, who was hired to walk Etan Patz to and from school. The defense witnesses further testified that Ramos met Etan Patz and that he had been in the Patz's apartment. Although Etan Patz's mother denied Ramos was ever in their apartment, by presenting this evidence, the defense further undermined Hernandez's confession.
The confession of Mr. Hernandez has become the focal point of the entire trial. As the attorneys are delivering their closing arguments, many people following the case and trial, I'm sure, have developed their opinions. For me, it was important to realize and understand that an innocent defendant and a defendant being not guilty are two very different things. The defense attorney has to create a reasonable doubt in the jurors' minds that Hernandez has possibly not committed the alleged crime in order to succeed. Mr. Fishbein's efforts to cast this doubt by introducing an alternative suspect theory, by undermining the reliability of the original confession, and by pointing to the lack of physical evidence have been clear. However, it is difficult to tell what the outcome of this case will be. As the jury is about to retire to deliberate, the long anticipated verdict will soon be revealed bringing this case to a close after decades of waiting.

Second Circuit: Admittance of Co-Defendant's Redacted Confession Violated Confrontation Clause
A recent decision by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals may provide guidance to criminal defense practitioners seeking to (1) suppress the involuntary confession of a client, and (2) limit the impact of a co-defendants' redacted confession being admitted at trial. The Second Circuit, sitting en banc, affirmed a panel's decision to vacate the convictions of three defendants found guilty of conspiring to commit a Hobbs Act robbery, among other things, and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. The Court had been asked by the government to review a panel decision that had formerly held that the "confession" of one of the defendant's was involuntary and should not have been admitted against the declarant at trial. The government also sought review of the panel's determination that the admission of the "confession" was also prejudicial to the declarant's co-defendants, requiring a new trial. United States v. Taylor, 736 F.3d 661 (2d Cir. 2013).
A panel of the Court had held that the defendant's Miranda waiver was not knowing and voluntary, given that the defendant was clearly mentally incapacitated during his interview with federal agents. Id. at 669. The panel noted that the defendant had ingested a quantity of Xanax pills immediately before his arrest, and not long before the interrogation by the FBI had begun. The panel pointed out that the defendant was "in and out of consciousness while giving his statement, and in a trance or a stupor most of the time when not actually asleep." Id. at 670. As such, the panel determined that "the officers' persistent questioning took undue advantage of [the] [defendants'] diminished mental state, and ultimately overbore his will." Id. The panel concluded that the admission of the defendant's involuntary confessions was a critical part of the prosecution's case, and could not be deemed "harmless error beyond a reasonable doubt." Id. at 672.
Notably, the Second Circuit (en banc) withdrew the panel's prior decision, and issued a superseding opinion. States v. Taylor, 2014 WL 814861, (2d Cir. 2014). It not only reaffirmed the panel's prior decision in all respects, but further held that the admission of the defendant's "confession" at trial violated the Confrontation Clause rights of the other co-defendants. The Court ruled that the redacted confession simply did not comply with Bruton, and made it obvious to jurors that the declarant had implicated his co-defendants in the crime. The Court explained that the redacted version of the defendant's statement suggested that the original statements contained actual names.
The Court took observance of the fact that the redacted statement had contained both the declarant's name and the name of the government's cooperating witness ("Luana Miller"), while referencing the other co-defendants by "two other individuals" or "driver." Id. The Court reasoned that the redacted confession allowed jurors to notice that "Miller is the one person involved who was cooperating, and [] infer that the obvious purpose of the meticulously crafted partial redaction was to corroborate Miller's testimony against the rest of the group, not to shield confederates." Id. at *11. The Court noted that "[i]f the defendant had been trying to avoid naming his confederates, he would not have identified one of them-Miller-in the very phrase in which the names of the other confederates are omitted." Id.
The Court explained that "[o]nce it becomes obvious that names have been pruned from the text, the choice of implied identity is narrow. The unnamed persons correspond by number (two) and by role to the pair of co-defendants." Id. at *12. The Court noted that the "obviously redacted confession … points directly to the defendant[s], and it accuses the defendant[s] in a manner similar to … a testifying codefendant's accusatory finger." Id. (quoting Gray, 523 U.S. at 194). The Court concluded that the "awkward circumlocution used to reference other participants, coupled with the overt naming of Luana Miller (only), is so unnatural, suggestive, and conspicuous as to offend Bruton, Gray, and Jass." Id.
While the Second Circuit's decision is applaudable, it may leave many criminal defense practitioners pondering over the slew of similar cases that have come before the Circuit in the past without any success on this issue. Both the language and form (identifying by name the declarant & cooperator(s), while others as "person/individual") that the Court identified in Taylor appears to have been customarily approved by the Courts. Indeed, Federal prosecutors have routinely been able to utilize such redacted confessions, although the defense has routinely objected to its admission based upon the obvious nature of the redaction and the likelihood that the jury will infer that their client had been implicated by their cohort. Nevertheless, the Second Circuit has finally spoken against this once unfettered practice, and provided some much needed guidance on the issue.

Q: XLForm predicate for NSDate comparison I'm using the inline datePicker to select a date (dd/mm/yyyy). It's a birthdate, and I have to show a form row if the date is less than [NSDate date] minus 18 years.
And I'm totally struggling with the predicates for show or hiding the row :x
Here is the code I use to setup the row I need to hide if the user is less than 18 years old
XLFormRowDescriptor *row = [XLFormRowDescriptor formRowDescriptorWithTag:kAuthorization rowType:MyXLFormDescriptionTypeCheck title:@"Parents authorization"]];

row.hidden = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"$%@.value >= CAST(%f, 'NSDate')", kDateOfBirth, [eighteenYearsAgo timeIntervalSince1970]];

[section addFormRow:row];

When I run my application, a breakpoint stops the execution at XLFormRowDescriptor.m (line 342)
where :
    self is the actual row,
    _hidden is equal to "$birthday.value >= CAST(881190000.000000, "NSDate")"
    and self.sectionDescriptor.formDescriptor.allRowsByTag is nil because self.sectionDescriptor is nil too
And here is the NSException's description in the @catch block :
Can't get value for 'birthday' in bindings {}.
Thank you for your help \o

A: I found a solution that do the job, by bypassing the problem.
I overrided the method
- [id<XLFormDescriptorDelegate> formRowDescriptorValueHasChanged:(XLFormRowDescriptor *)formRow oldValue:(id)oldValue newValue:(id)newValue];

So that I'm getting notified when the row's value has changed. I just do the comparison here and hide or show the row I want depending on the result.
If someone is stuck on the same problem, I think this solution is great, not time expensive to setup (no NSPredicate nor regex skills required, and just one method to override), and not very dirty (code is readable, and solution is not a big trick) :)


- - - Image caption from book :: ""These Minneapolis advertisements derived from several April 1937 issues of the Finnish-language newspaper 'Tyomies', depict some of the comercial establishments in the city's Finntown. The notices written completely in Finnish are for Kassu (Carl) Siren's diner (upper left), J. Koski's grocery and tobacco store (upper right), and Arvid Hiltunen's barbershop (lower left). ""
Minneapolis served as the first urban center for Minnesota's Finns. Early immigrants often paused in Minneapolis before moving westward in their search for farmland or employment, and some farmers pursued seasonal work in the city. Minneapolis also was where Finns from the countryside could "spread their wings." Probably because Minneapolis was Minnesota's western gateway to land and jobs, the city served as a more important center for Finns than did St. Paul, its adjacent twin to the east.
Only four Minneapolis residents listed Finland as their place of birth in 1870. The count rose to 49 (36 males, 13 females) in 1880. A few men resided in "shanties," and just two were married; 28 worked as laborers, seven as brick makers, three as "hucksters" (peddlers), and one as a ticket agent. The eleven unmarried females included six maids, four hotel servants, and one boardinghouse keeper. As more Finns arrived, the logical results were noted by the local Uusi Kotimaa--established in 1881 as Minnesota's first Finnish-language newspaper: "every so often there is another wedding" wrote a correspondent.
In 1882, four years after starting work at a Shingle Creek brickyard in northwestern Minneapolis, one Finn described it as a "profitable workplace" that offered $1.75 per day and significant overtime opportunities. Nevertheless, the city's erratic employment situation often posed problems for men, although women had little difficulty finding positions as maids and servants. A late-nineteenth-century journalist from Finland commented approvingly about the daughters "of well-to-do [Finnish] farmers who neither fear hard work nor regard domestic labor as shameful." Furthermore, wrote another Minneapolis observer, any unmarried Finnish man desiring a wife "should come here."
The Finnish immigrant population of Minneapolis grew to 353 by 1900. Included among the 177 employed males were 90 laborers, 29 tailors, 18 carpenters and painters, 12 brick makers, eight blacksmiths and metalworkers, seven professionals and supervisors, six proprietors and salesmen, and two shoemakers. The 68 employed single females included 65 servants and domestics, two seamstresses, and one "shoesticher"; only two married females worked outside their homes--as a washerwoman and a "tailoress"--but many accommodated one to eight boarders and roomers in their homes.
Minneapolis reportedly was a "paradise" for Finns who owned businesses, with their first ventures appearing along Washington Avenue and nearby streets. Victor and Ida Newman established a boardinghouse shortly after their 1881 marriage and later opened the Newman Hotel at 214 Washington Avenue North, which housed thirty-four boarders and lodgers in 1900. During the late 1890s, a few Finns began moving to the Humboldt Avenue area, and they dedicated their Apostolic Lutheran church in 1902; the neighborhood quickly became the nuclueus for the "Finnish residential center of Minneapolis." A cohesive Finntown of wooden vernacular dwellings, most built by Finnish carpenters, eventually emerged within a zone bordered by Penn Avenue on the west, Girard Avenue to the east, Bassett Creek on the south and Western Avenue (now Glenwood) to the north.
The earliest business established in Finntown was Isaac (Kauvosaari) Anderson's Humboldt Avenue grocery store, which he moved from North Fourth Street in 1900. Over the following years, more businesses and services sprang up along Western Avenue, and a Socialist worker's hall appeared close to the Lutheran church; two public saunas, one in the Wells Settlement House, were nearby, and Glenwood (now Theodore Wirth) Park served as a venue for outdoor events. Many Finntown women worked for the Northwest Knitting Company (later Munsingwear), which operated a nearby clothing-manufacturing plant from 1904 to 1981.
The Finnish immigrant community of Minneapolis grew steadily, expanding to 875 in 1910, to 1,120 in 1920, and then to 1,155 in 1930. The Minneapolis Finntown was a lively place that also attracted second- and third-generation Finns, but many residents began dispersing to other areas of the Twin Cities following World War II.

Keith Hornsby is playing for Oak Hill Academy, the most prestigious prep basketball school in the country.
For a guy who thought he'd only be spending about five to eight minutes per game on the floor while wearing the uniform of the nation's most elite prep boys basketball team, this season has been an eye-opening experience for Keith Hornsby.
As it turns out, he has evolved into much more than just a garbage-time player for Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, a town in southwest Virginia. He's a legitimate sixth man as a junior. Though he's still waiting for the bigwigs from programs in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big East and Southeastern Conference to take notice, he knows he's at least on the radar map — by osmosis, if nothing else.
"There are such great players on this team, so I just naturally get so much better, and my confidence rises, too," said Hornsby, who is a former Hampton Roads Academy student and the son of Grammy Award-winning musician and Williamsburg native Bruce Hornsby. "My shots, my driving (to the basket), my ballhandling have all gotten better, but especially my defense. With having to guard these guys, that's the main thing that's improved."
During an open-gym scrimmage in the fall, Oak Hill played host to a room full of college basketball coaches — a common occurrence at Oak Hill. Kansas coach Bill Self took a few seconds to introduce himself to Hornsby. It wasn't quite the same as getting a scholarship offer from Self, but it was still a moment Hornsby won't soon forget.
Hornsby has an offer from UNC Asheville, but he said schools like George Mason and Davidson have picked up their recruiting efforts. Oak Hill coach Steve Smith added that Old Dominion and Radford have shown a lot of interest in Hornsby.
Heading into last weekend, Hornsby had averaged eight points and 18 minutes per game this season. He was Oak Hill's leading 3-point shooter at nearly 45 percent. He started four of Oak Hill's first 20 games, including a 47-46 loss Jan. 16 against Northland High from Columbus, Ohio. Northland entered the game ranked No. 2 in the nation, according to the ESPN Rise Fab 50 poll, while Oak Hill (19-2 before Saturday night's game in Morgantown, W.Va., against Columbia High from Georgia) was in a familiar position — No. 1.
Smith admits not knowing how Hornsby would jell coming from a small, private school in the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools to a team that includes four seniors who have committed to Division I schools, and another considering offers from Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Connecticut.
"He had no idea, and I had no idea, as far as what to expect and how he'd fit in and where his minutes would fall," Smith said. "I didn't expect him to play as many minutes as he's already playing, but he's earned that.
"I think through three or four months of practice, he realizes what I expect of him as a coach. … I want him to make plays and not feel like, 'OK, I don't need to do this because there's (Oak Hill seniors) like Roscoe Smith or Doron Lamb,' or whoever. I want him to make plays, be who he is, shoot the ball when he's open and not worry about these other guys. I don't care if the other guy is a McDonald's All-American or what he is — just make plays."
Since getting to Oak Hill at the end of the summer, Hornsby has grown an inch to top out at 6-foot-3. He's getting many of his minutes in the shooting-guard role. Now, the goal is to continue proving he's more than just a shooter, which Smith said he's doing with his rebounding ability and defensive prowess.
"I just think I have to do more and improve more before that kind of thing comes," Hornsby said regarding offers from more prominent programs. "I've never gotten an opportunity like this before — to play in front of those coaches — so it's definitely different. It's been good. It's so hard to play at that level, and I definitely realize that."
Right now, Hornsby isn't sure how he'll spend next summer, but he said he currently has a spot on Boo Williams' 17-and-under AAU travel team. Last summer, Hornsby didn't receive the kind of minutes in critical late-game situations he was hoping to get as a member of a 16-and-under team in Williams' program.
Still, that's just the competitor in Hornsby talking. He was grateful for the opportunity. If it's any consolation, Smith doesn't know why he didn't get the minutes.
"I felt, just from what I saw, he should've been playing more — but that's none of my business," Smith said. "I stay out of that. If he's good enough to play for us, he's good enough to play for anybody in AAU. I have all the confidence in the world to put him in games. I have no fear of putting him in against anybody we're playing."

Inelastic demand occurs when price has very little to do with how much of a product people will buy. It usually occurs with products people buy every day.
For example, if the price of toilet paper went down people cannot use more so they won't buy more. If the price of toilet paper went up, people would still buy it because they need it.

FCC should open up faster, better Wi-Fi

FCC should open up faster, better Wi-Fi Column by Phil Kerpen Check out this story on jacksonsun.com: http://www.jacksonsun.com/story/opinion/columnists/2018/04/06/fcc-should-open-up-faster-better-wi-fi/491109002/
CAGLE CARTOONS SYNDICATE Published 12:12 p.m. CT April 6, 2018

Last year the Department of Transportation sensibly delayed a held-over Obama regulation that would have mandated an expensive, obsolete technology called dedicated short-range communication in all new cars and trucks sold in America. The Obama rule, according to its own cost estimate, would have imposed total costs of $108 billion and raised the price of every new car by about $300 — for a technology that has already been made obsolete by rapidly advancing developments, including a shift toward commercial cellular and sensor-based approaches to vehicle safety.
Worse, the DOT use of this spectrum, the 5.9 GHz band, prevents it from being reallocated by the Federal Communications Commission. The band is adjacent to existing Wi-Fi spectrum, and opening it up would allow high-speed gigabit Wi-Fi on a large scale. With Wi-Fi demand growing rapidly, this additional spectrum is needed to keep this ubiquitous technology working smoothly and to reach higher speeds.
In a rare moment of bipartisan agreement at the FCC, Democratic Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel and Republican Commissioner Michael O'Rielly noted in a 2016 joint statement: "We believe this slice of spectrum provides the best near-term opportunity for promoting innovation and expanding current offerings, such as Wi-Fi. That's because combining the airwaves in this band with those already available for unlicensed use nearby could mean increased capacity, reduced congestion, and higher speeds."
Unfortunately, despite widespread reports that DOT was going to not just withdraw the Obama rule but relinquish the spectrum as well, they have not yet done so. In fact, the rulemaking remains open — albeit redesignated as long-term, meaning no action within the next year — and is still listed in the agency's March 2018 significant rulemaking report.
And in what could be indicative of a jurisdictional turf battle, the DOT stated in November: "DOT hopes to use the dedicated spectrum for transportation lifesaving technologies."
Of course, vehicle safety is understandably the top priority at the DOT — but they have already indefinitely delayed the Obama administration's expensive technology mandate and are now reserving spectrum only on the hypothetical possibility that it may have a safety use in the future. Even though the particular spectrum they are reserving is ideally suited for Wi-Fi use.
There is a straightforward solution. The FCC should open the 5.9 GHz band to general unlicensed use, while committing to work with the DOT to identify an alternative spectrum band for automotive safety use in the event technology develops that requires dedicated spectrum.
Given the rapid developments of cellular capabilities — manufacturers notably weighed in with the DOT that they prefer a technology called Cellular-V2X over DSRC — as well as sensor-based technologies being rapidly developed as part of the autonomous vehicle investment boom — it is entirely possible that no dedicated spectrum will ever be needed. But reassurance from the FCC that if it is needed, a suitable band will be reserved would smooth over any turf concerns that may be preventing the DOT from finally closing the book on the Obama administration's misguided approach.
In the meantime, the country's nearly insatiable demand for Wi-Fi in our homes, offices, and just about everywhere else, can be met by opening the best spectrum available — 5.9 GHz — rather than waiting because of a talking car law passed in the Internet Dark Ages of 1999.

The locale utility shall write information about the current locale environment, or all public locales, to the standard output. For the purposes of this section, a public locale is one provided by the implementation that is accessible to the application.
When locale is invoked without any arguments, it shall summarize the current locale environment for each locale category as determined by the settings of the environment variables defined in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 7, Locale.
Specifying a keyword name shall select the named keyword and the category containing that keyword.
Specifying a category name shall select the named category and all keywords in that category.
The locale utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
Write information about all available public locales. The available locales shall include POSIX, representing the POSIX locale. The manner in which the implementation determines what other locales are available is implementation-defined.
Write the names of selected locale categories; see the STDOUT section. The −c option increases readability when more than one category is selected (for example, via more than one keyword name or via a category name). It is valid both with and without the −k option.
Write the names and values of selected keywords. The implementation may omit values for some keywords; see the OPERANDS section.
Write names of available charmaps; see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 6.1, Portable Character Set.
The name of a locale category as defined in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 7, Locale, the name of a keyword in a locale category, or the reserved name charmap. The named category or keyword shall be selected for output. If a single name represents both a locale category name and a keyword name in the current locale, the results are unspecified. Otherwise, both category and keyword names can be specified as name operands, in any sequence. It is implementation-defined whether any keyword values are written for the categories LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE.
The application shall ensure that the LANG, LC_*, and NLSPATH environment variables specify the current locale environment to be written out; they shall be used if the −a option is not specified.
If LANG is not set or is an empty string, the value is the empty string.
The <implied value> shall be the name of the locale that has been selected for that category by the implementation, based on the values in LANG and LC_ALL, as described in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 8, Environment Variables.
The <value> and <implied value> shown above shall be properly quoted for possible later reentry to the shell. The <value> shall not be quoted using double-quotes (so that it can be distinguished by the user from the <implied value> case, which always requires double-quotes).
If keywords are also selected for writing (see following items), the category name output shall precede the keyword output for that category.
If the −c option is not specified, the names of the categories shall not be written; only the keywords, as selected by the <name> operand, shall be written.
where the <keyword value> is encoded as a set of strings, each enclosed in double-quotation-marks, separated by <semicolon> characters.
If the keyword was charmap, the name of the charmap (if any) that was specified via the localedef −f option when the locale was created shall be written, with the word charmap as <keyword name>.
where the <escape character> is that identified by the escape_char keyword in the current locale; see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 7.3, Locale Definition.
Compound keyword values (list entries) shall be separated in the output by <semicolon> characters. When included in keyword values, the <semicolon>, <backslash>, double-quote, and any control character shall be preceded (escaped) with the escape character.
If the keyword was charmap, the name of the charmap (if any) that was specified via the localedef −f option when the locale was created shall be written.
where <charmap> is in a format suitable for use as the option-argument to the localedef −f option.
All the requested information was found and output successfully.
If the LANG environment variable is not set or set to an empty value, or one of the LC_* environment variables is set to an unrecognized value, the actual locales assumed (if any) are implementation-defined as described in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 8, Environment Variables.
Implementations are not required to write out the actual values for keywords in the categories LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE; however, they must write out the categories (allowing an application to determine, for example, which character classes are available).
The order of presentation of the categories is not specified by this volume of POSIX.1‐2008.
if printf "%s\n$response" | grep −Eq "$(locale yesexpr)"
The output for categories LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE has been made implementation-defined because there is a questionable value in having a shell script receive an entire array of characters. It is also difficult to return a logical collation description, short of returning a complete localedef source.
The −m option was included to allow applications to query for the existence of charmaps. The output is a list of the charmaps (implementation-supplied and user-supplied, if any) on the system.
The −c option was included for readability when more than one category is selected (for example, via more than one keyword name or via a category name). It is valid both with and without the −k option.
The charmap keyword, which returns the name of the charmap (if any) that was used when the current locale was created, was included to allow applications needing the information to retrieve it.
According to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 6.1, Portable Character Set, the standard requires that all supported locales must have the same encoding for <period> and <slash>, because these two characters are used within the locale-independent pathname resolution sequence. Therefore, it would be an error if locale −a listed both ASCII and EBCDIC-based locales, since those two encodings do not share the same representation for either <period> or <slash>. Any system that supports both environments would be expected to provide two POSIX locales, one in either codeset, where only the locales appropriate to the current environment can be visible at a time. In an XSI-compliant implementation, the dd utility is the only portable means for performing conversions between the two character sets.

Standing Stone (destroyed): OS Grid Reference – HP 5378 0425
The Brough
This standing stone formerly stood close to the Burn of Forse, otherwise known as the Garth of Papal in the far north of the island. Described briefly in J.T. Irving's (1887) essay on the prehistoric remains of the area, the upright was obviously of local stone being,
Papil stone (PSAS 1887)
"a broad flat slab, slightly lower at one side than the other and measuring 4 feet 2 inches in greatest height by 2 feet 10 inches in width, and varying from 18 inches to 6 inches in thickness. In one corner were the initials H I 1674 and M W 1683, with an old merchant's mark, or something of that description… The late Dr Hunt of the Anthropological Society, dug under it in 1865, with the result that it was left to fall down, and be eventually broken up for building material to be used in the walls of a new school-house."
Irving (1887) told us that, "there is a tradition that a queen who came in a ship to Papal died there, and was buried beneath this stone."

By measuring various factors and trends poignant the longer term of enterprise resource designing and technological innovations have pushed the software system headfirst into the longer term. First, smartphones and tablets influenced mobile business solutions that redoubled accessibility to places so much on the far side the work. Then, cloud computing created knowledge on the market in real-time, and bestowed opportunities for growth without having the hardware to try to combine, need to create even little businesses can compete against giant companies for market share and client satisfaction. With this in mind, what will the longer term hold for ERP systems within the next five to ten years?
One of the options that build ERP therefore so powerful for makers is the rate of automation that's double. However, for several workers, the systems look and feel archaic or too advanced to know. It's typically a cause for conflict among staff, requiring in-depth coaching and structure change management simply to hide the issues that several have.
However, as mobile devices have incontestable, these platforms do not essentially have to be compelled to know, plus use. If a merchant will port the ERP software system onto a smart phone or pill, that may build workers feel softer with the software system. As this transition to mobile continues, another issue also will happen over the course of consequent few years that's influenced by these gadgets, consistent with Panorama Consulting. The shift is that the "computerization of IT." Systems that were meticulously designed with the service businesses square measure being slowly replaced with interfaces that square measure impressed by mobile working systems like Google robot and Apple iOS. With the apps that square measure getting used in these things, there will be a bigger stress on keeping things as straightforward as doable for users.
This abstract shift in ERP software systems are going to be inspired by new hardware that's expected to surface within the returning years. The leading development of wearable technology is already getting down to form. business Week cites the Google Glass eyeglasses and Apple Watch smartwatch as but two major steps in their direction. As those devices become a lot of thought, it's probably that ERP vendors can begin to develop modules, if not full-fledged apps, that square measure designed to figure with them. the tip result's that consumer-based and little business solutions can become tougher to differentiate overall.
While hardware and software system can play a significant role within the way forward for ERP, there is very little doubt that external forces can still influence the business yet. Paradigms like multichannel and multichannel practicality square measure expected to start influencing key elements of ERP software system. What this may induce is software system that's conscious of the context of any state of affairs, rather feeding information managers and having them discover what it suggests that, a mixture of context awareness and massive knowledge analytics can facilitate them perceive true in a very means that works best for them.
What will return of this? ERP software system are going to be dramatically altered. whereas there square measure a couple of vendors out there that supply complete stabilizability, their services square measure typically valuable, going away them on the market solely to giant enterprises. As context awareness takes hold, these systems can change so, instead of have to be compelled to customize each detail, the software system suite can develop one app or answer at a time. this offers smaller firms much bigger flexibility, enabled any by utilizing the cloud to its fullest extent in provision programs. the tip result's a lot of agile businesses that may contend and adapt to dynamical market things, creating them a lot of productive and profitable.

This recipe is VERY overdue.
I've made it countless times for the meat-lovin' hubby aka MLH (he licks his plate clean every time).
And of course I've made it about a million times for myself- because yeah, these babies are THAT good.
c). Extremely satisfying– a low carb, low sugar way to totally satisfy my high-carb, high sugar cravings (always) is a total WIN in my book!
And that's just the sweet potato!
Now imagine what happens when you bake it until it's soft, warm and oozing, stuff it with garlicky quinoa and kale and douse it in the most legit peanut sauce you've ever tasted? MIND. BLOWN.
But in all seriousness I have blown people's minds with this recipe- so if you're looking to impress anyone (including yourself) you should totally hop on this bandwagon.
And in case you're not totally sold do I need to remind you how it's plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, and rich in antioxidants, minerals, protein, fiber and vitamins? Didn't think so.
Set aside prep time to bake your sweet potatoes. I usually do this the night before so I can just pop em in the microwave and reheat before dinner. To bake preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place whole sweet potatoes on a pan and bake on one side for 45 minutes to an hour- then flip and do the other side for 45 minutes to an hour. Time will depend on how large the potatoes are. You want them to be very soft and oozing out some of their sweet sticky juice.
Make your sauce by combining all ingredients together in a blender and blend until smooth- voila! (This can also be done ahead of time).
Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Once finished start stir-frying kale leaves in a pan over medium- medium high heat with the coconut oil, garlic, sea salt and pepper. Once almost cooked toss in quinoa and stir around an additional minute or two to combine all the flavors.
If you pre-cooked your sweet potatoes now is the time to pop em in the microwave to reheat. Once warm scoop a large (we're talking LARGE) dollop of peanut sauce into each potato and mash around to mix in. Then add in quinoa/kale mixture and top with more peanut sauce (duh)! Top with whatever you like, I always go for cilantro and coconut flakes.
INSIDER TIP: this sauce will last you for awhile, so I'll typically bake a bunch of sweet potatoes in advance along with the sauce and then just reheat throughout the week and add in the quinoa/kale. This makes dinner options SO much simpler.
