Tell me a little bit about yourself and your company Shay Jaffar?
Shay Jaffar is a luxury fashion brand that aims to curate glamorous fashionable clothes to leave modest women feeling empowered. It has been a dream of mine since I was a kid to have my own fashion brand and so I created Shay Jaffar. I want to advocate for a woman's power to choose what to wear. Choosing to cover up is also freedom.
What is the story behind Shay Jaffar?
I was born in Egypt and raised in the United Arab Emirates. In high school, everyone had to wear these bland uniforms. I started to sketch designs that could spice up my look and my talented mother would sew it. Together, we made these beautiful outfits. I received so many compliments whenever I would wear them to school; these outfits left me feeling confident and proud. I wanted to create that feeling for all modest women and so I started Shay Jaffar.
What is the most valuable thing you've gained from the Summer Venture Program?
I do my fashion production in New York City and so I had to decide whether to go back to New York for the summer to be closer to my line, or stay here for the Summer Venture Program (SVP). What drew me to SVP and ultimately what I find most valuable is the community and support. The other entrepreneurs here, advisors, David Chang, director of SVP, and everyone at the Blank Center are so helpful and their advice is invaluable.
Although I've always known that Shay Jaffar is a luxury brand, I didn't realize that creating this brand would be so difficult. I've been able to hone in on how I want my women to feel when they see my logo or where my clothes. Building a brand is a continuous process, but the fact that I focused on this so early in my company is great.
The biggest obstacle is keeping up with my production in New York. Although outsourcing production reduces my overhead, I have lost a bit of control over my product. As much as a I try to enforce a service level agreement between me and the manufacturer, things don't always work as expected. It's been a big learning curve for me this summer.
Salimata Bangoura (Nanny A La Carte) is a lot of fun. She has so many stories. I love the one about how her and her husband met, it gives me faith that love is still alive! I really enjoy getting to know the people in SVP, Sali and many others are so cool and it's been great working with everyone.
I want to start a fragrance line. I love fragrances and smells. If you were to look at my room at home, you would see an overwhelming amount of perfume bottles. Whenever I feel like I can relate to the message of a fragrance, I just have to buy it! One day I'll find my own fragrance brand, you just wait.
Noon is this Middle Eastern restaurant. It is so good! Noon is set up like a salad bar where you can make your own bowl. They make fresh pita bread in front of you – so yummy!
Just do it. You will always be nervous about starting your own business. Until this day, I doubt myself and this is completely normal. I always think about whether anyone will buy my product after all of this work. The doubt and fear will be there, just embrace those feelings and use that energy to push you forward.

Hairstylist Chris Appleton shared some behind-the-scenes snaps of an updo he gave singer Rita Ora for a photo shoot. And it appears he must have just come from a Pinkberry run, because if her hair doesn't look like a swirl of fro-yo, we don't know what does. Not that the hairstyle isn't pretty. It's actually quite lovely and cool—the kind of thing we usually see on Ora. But it also makes us wants to cover her head in chopped-up Heath bars and grab a spoon is all we're saying.
Appleton has been Ora's go-to hair guru for years now, and he's constantly finding creative new styles to give her (remember this look with the braid down the center? Or this chopped-up bangs situation? Love.) And soft-serve hair is certainly something we've never seen on her before, so you can say he hit the nail on the head. You wouldn't think it would work, but somehow, between the magic of the two of them, it does. The fact that there's not one hair out of place keeps it chic. Plus, it's quirky, unexpected, kind of funny, and calorie-free. Apparently we just love a good cup of frozen yogurt anyway we can get it. Hand us a loyalty punch card. We're in.
And, actually, on second thought, he probably didn't come from Pinkberry—this looks more chaotic, like one of those serve-yourself, pay-by-the-weight places. Thankfully he's not a hot-fudge-and-whipped-cream person. That would have been tough to get out.


This genus is accepted, and its native range is Subtropical to Temp. Northern Hemisphere.
Warm temperate and Mediterranean climate zones of N America and Eurasia in mesophytic forest, mediterranean bushland and thicket (chaparral and maquis), lower montane forest and mixed deciduous forest. C. canadensis and C. chinensis can both be found on limestone, although not exclusively. Several species reach elevations of up to c. 2000m. C. griffithii has been found as high as 3150m.
Eurasia, China and N America. C. canadensis var. canadensis is native to the eastern United States to Texas and Oklahoma, whilst C. canadensis var. mexicana occurs in west Texas and the adjacent area of Mexico, and C. canadensis var. texensis in South Oklahoma, Central Texas and into Mexico. C. siliquastrum ranges from the Mediterranean region to central Asia, with C. siliquastrum subsp. hebecarpa occuring only in Iraq. C. griffithii occurs in central Asia. Of the 6 Chinese species, 3 are found in the southern regions, 2 span from the south to north central areas and C. chinensis is the only species with its northern range extending to Manchuria.
A member of subtribe Cercidinae (Wunderlin et al., 1981; 1987). In the molecular analyses of Davis et al. (2002b), C. canadensis L. from eastern N America is more closely related to C. siliquastrum from western Eurasia than to C. occidentalis Torrey ex A.Gray from western N America. The pseudopapilionoid flowers of Cercis species share many specialisations found in flowers of typical members of subfamily Papilionoideae, but these are convergences and are not indicative of close evolutionary relationship (Tucker, 2002b). Besides, Cercis flowers have 'ascending cochlear' corolla aestivation, not 'descending cochlear' as in Papilionoideae. Nevertheless, the flowers of Cercis differ markedly in structure and development from those of Bauhinia (Tucker, 2002b). In molecular analyses (Bruneau et al. 2001 & Sinou et al. 2009) and the combined molecular-morphological analyses of Herendeen et al. (2003a), Cercis is basally branching both within tribe Cercideae and the whole of the Leguminosae. Studies by Banks et al. (2013 & 2014) indicate that Cercis has similarly unspecialised pollen to the other early branching lineages in the Cercideae.
Some species, e.g., C. siliquastrum (Judas tree) or C. canadensis L. (redbud) are widely cultivated as ornamentals; also used for medicine, human food (flowers, young pods), bee forage (honey), timber (the Indians of N America made bows from the wood of C. canadensis) and cosmetics (Arabic women used the powder produced from incineration of C. siliquastrum petals to darken eyebrows and hair). C. griffithii and C. occidentalis are also occasionally cultivated as ornamentals.


'Audible Approaches' is an ambitious and deeply sentimental project initiated by Israeli/German imprint C.Sides with a worthy agenda: they asked ten artists, including members of Efterklang, Khan, Gold Panda, Glitterbug, and Brandt Brauer Frick to "…create a humble contribution toward making this a better place through audible means." Of course, the effect remains to be seen, but they undoubtedly gathered some lovely music on this compilation. Each artist was requested to make a piece between ten and fifteen minutes long, resulting in five pieces per disc. Highlights of the first disc occur in Khan's exotic industrial dub meditation on the story of Turkish-Armenian cymbal makers Zildjian entitled 'Sahane' (Turkish trans. 'Beautiful'), and Gold Panda's cinematic beatless departure. On the second disc there's the notable inclusion of Brandt Brauer Frick's mercurial jazz electronics on 'Schwan', a sublime vocal edit of Glitterbug and Enas Massalha's 'The Sky Fell Silent', and the fragile neo-classicisms of 'The Figment Notebook' by Mads Brauer and Caspar Clausen of Efterklang.

"Effective enforcement of EU competition rules in the pharmaceutical law remains a matter of high priority…"
Healthcare 4 min
Brona Heenan
So notes the Commission's report on competition enforcement in the pharmaceutical sector (2009-2017) published at the end of January 2019.
Who requested the report and why?
In 2016, the Council requested an update on the enforcement activities of competition authorities since the 2008/2009 pharmaceutical sector enquiry. The European Parliament had also raised concerns regarding anticompetitive practices within the pharmaceutical sector that may endanger patients' access to affordable and innovative medicines, such as tactics to delay generic competition, pay-for-delay arrangements, price fixing and excessive pricing[1].
Examining the enforcement activities of the Commission and the national competition authorities (NCAs) across the EU, the report notes over 29 antitrust decisions against pharmaceutical companies taken since 2009, imposing fines of over EUR 1 billion in 21 of these cases. More than 100 cases (cartels, restrictive practices and abuse of dominance) were investigated, 20 of which are ongoing. The report highlights the decisions addressed at anticompetitive behaviour that had not previously been addressed (pay for delay cases). EU merger control decisions also contributed to enforcement action with competition issues identified in 19 out of 80 EU mergers examined and requiring identified concerns to be addressed and divestments offered.
Focus on anti-competitive practices that may endanger patients' access to affordable and innovative essential medicines.
Recent estimates, from a 2018 Copenhagen Economics study, suggest that the costs of bringing a medicine from the laboratory to market are between EUR 0.5 billion and EUR 2.2 billion. With high medicine prices imposing burdens on national healthcare systems, effective competition from generics and, more recently, biosimilars, generally represents a vital source of price competition in pharmaceutical markets. The enforcement activities of the Commission and NCAs are examined in relation to each of these two issues.
What competition enforcement activities have been taken as regards affordable medicines?
Landmark decisions have been taken against pay-for-delay deals (EU Lundbeck, Servier, Fentanyl and the UK Paroxetine). Recent years have seen significant calls for intervention against high prices for pharmaceutical products. NCAs have led investigations into the excessive and abusive pricing of off-patent medicines such as in Italy (Aspen), the United Kingdom (Pfizer/Flynn) and Denmark (CD Pharma), while the Commission opened its first formal investigation into excessive pricing case in 2017 (against Aspen in a number pf countries outside of Italy). A series of pioneering decisions have been taken by the French NCA involving disparagement practices, such as producing and disseminating incomplete and misleading information (vis-a-vis doctors, authorities and the general public).
The sheer diversity of the cases being taken by NCAs is noteworthy in itself. These range from: bid rigging in hospital tenders (Hungary, Slovenia); exchange of confidential information between wholesalers via common IT systems (Germany); co-marketing agreements (Italy) market sharing between pharmacies in supply to healthcare centres (Spain); export bans and parallel trading cases (Romania, Spain and Greece); excessive pricing (Italy, UK, France, Denmark); to complex legal strategies of filing for and obtaining IP rights aimed at delaying generic entry (Italy).
Merger control interventions were made by the Commission in a number of EU mergers that could have led to price increases, in particular for generic products (Teva/Allergan) or biosimilar products (Pfizer/Hospira). These transactions were cleared only after the companies had committed to divest parts of their businesses to suitable buyers to preserve the existing degree of price competition.
What enforcement activities have been taken regarding access to innovative medicines?
Servier is mentioned here along with the Boehringer Ingelheim/Almirall settlement (allegations of filing unmeritorious patents to block or delay entry of competing products) and the Italian NCA decision in Hoffmann La Roche/Novartis (agreement aimed to discourage and limit off-label use of Avastin for eye diseases and towards the more expensive Lucentis). The main focus is on interventions in merger cases, such as: Novartis/GlaxoSmithKline Oncology where the Commission's concern was that a merger between two originators threatened to thwart advanced R&D projects for life-saving cancer drugs; Johnson & Johnson/Actelion where intervention was to ensure pipeline insomnia medicines at an early stage of development; and Pfizer/Hospira, where the concern was that the merger would eliminate one of two parallel projects to develop competing biosimilars.
The report concludes that while enforcing antitrust and merger control rules significantly contributes to ensuring that patients and healthcare systems have access to affordable and innovative medicines, competition law enforcement remains complementary to legislative and regulatory action.
So, we can expect all competition authorities to remain vigilant and proactive in investigating potentially anti-competitive situations in the pharmaceutical sector, including new trends, such as the growing relevance of biosimilars.

Q: How to remove accents in MySQL using collation? I'd like to generate URL slugs from content titles automatically when I put them into the database. So I'd like make accented characters unaccented.
I tried to use CONVERT(title USING ascii), but it replaces accented characters with ?s.
MySQL already uses collation tables to match strings like this one.
Is it possible to use the collation to replace characters with their collation group character?

A: A collation is a set of rules that determine how data is sorted and compared. What you mean is character set. But since there are no rules defined which character corresponds to which character in a set with fewer characters, this is not possible by simply converting to another character set. You would have to write a function, that translates each character to the one without accent. The table you posted would be quite useful with this.

1,597 visitors from 79 countries, including 23 African nations, attended the two-day learning and senior-level networking event.
he first edition of ICE Africa has been declared a milestone event by delegates, sponsors and organisers alike. 1,597 visitors from 79 countries, including 23 African nations, attended the two-day learning and senior-level networking event, which was the first occasion the world-renowned ICE brand has been exported outside of its UK home.
With the outline figures exceeding first-year projections and attendee feedback confirming a strongly positive response to the inaugural event, Kate Chambers, Managing Director of Clarion Gaming, is already planning for the second edition of ICE Africa. She stated: "When we launched I went on the record to say that our vision was to create a showcase event that Africa could be proud of and one that would provide a focal point for the development of socially responsible and sustainable gaming economies throughout the continent. With 66 percent of the overall attendance drawn from Africa I believe that we have gone some way to fulfilling that aspiration."
She continued: "It was the industry that first asked us to bring the ICE brand to Africa and I am delighted that we have been able to work in partnership with so many facets of the business based in Africa to make that vision a reality. Throughout the development and planning process there has been a deep and extremely genuine enthusiasm to make this event a success and we look forward to working further with our stakeholders to develop the ICE Africa brand and take it to the next level.
Clarion Gaming is responsible for organising many of the industry's leading business events, including the sold-out ICE Sports Betting USA, (Convene, New York, November 27-28, 2018), ICE London, the world's largest gaming technology event, (5-7 February at ExCeL London, UK) and London Affiliate Conference (6-9 February, ExCeL London, UK).

III MEF Band kicks off the holiday season with Annual Christmas Concert
by Lance Cpl. Kelcey Seymour, Marine Corps Installations Pacific
CAMP FOSTER, OKINAWA, Japan – III Marine Expeditionary Force Band kicked off their annual Christmas Concert with a performance called "It's a Wonderful Corps," Dec. 5 at the Camp Foster Theater.
The concert is a free and open to the local and military community Dec. 6-8. The performance is based off the holiday classic movie, "It's a Wonderful Life."
"We follow the movie closely and assimilate it to the daily life in the Marine Corps," said Cpl. Victor Boyda, a basic musician with III MEF band. "We showed the challenges and the good times that we experience in the day-to-day workings of an enlisted Marine."
The performance followed the story of a sergeant who wished he never enlisted in the Marine Corps after being placed on duty on Christmas Eve and a heavenly angel who shows him the consequences that wish would have had on his life and those around him.
"The highlight of this is twofold," said Chief Warrant Officer Andres Navarro, the officer-in-charge of the III MEF Band. "The first is the Christmas spirit we bring to the Marine away from home and family. We are a family and she should celebrate together. The second part allowing the band members, as Marines, to let their hair down and enjoy themselves with a performance they helped create."
The four-day production offers five showings and many improvisations from the Marines. The performances bring classic Christmas songs and Marine Corps humor into a new light to entertain audiences of all ages.
"At the end of the concert, we invite the children up on stage to sing with us," said Navarro. "It's a good way to celebrate Christmas together."
Audience members and U.S. Marines sing Christmas songs together during the III Marine Expeditionary Force Band Christmas Concert at the theater on Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, Dec. 5, 2018. III MEF Band arranged the concert called "It's a Wonderful Corps" in reflection to the holiday classic movie "It's a Wonderful Life." The skit followed the story of a sergeant who wished he never enlisted in the Marine Corps and a heavenly angel who shows him the consequences that wish would have had on his life and those around him.

Another day, another bundle of Xbox Live Arcade games designed to fill out your digital library for one low cost. This time around Microsoft's packaged five action titles for a mere 1600 MSP, quite the savings compared to the bloated 4400 MSP cost you'd incur should you purchase them individually.
The Action Packed Bundle houses a few XBLA favorites, and some lesser known titles that might have flown under the radar. The roster includes Ska Studios' The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, in addition to Bloodforge, Unboud Saga, Islands of Wakfu and Dungeon Fighter LIVE: Fall of Hendon Myre.
It's important to note that if you like what you see, you should jump on it, as the bundle will purportedly be around for a "very limited time", according to Microsoft Studios. Additionally, if you're in the mood for more bundles, you can check out the recently released Kinect Bundle, and the Beautiful Puzzle Pack.

It looks like you should be able to set the name of the application entry point, but for whatever reason it is still looking for application instead of app


Is it worth getting a professional optical path clean?
Those of you who read my blog regularly will know that I clean my own sensor, I've written about it before in this article about do it yourself wet sensor cleaning. Shortly I'm departing on a trip to photograph the wonderful Victorian coast as I do once each year. This usually means lots of sunsets, sunrises and long exposures. The sunsets and sunrises are often bright and are often shot at f/16 or higher. A dirty sensor isn't a serious problem in your day to day shots as the spots won't show up because you are likely shooting at f/8 or less. You might see them in really bright areas or long exposures, especially in the sky. However, when shooting at f/16 or above (smaller hole) there is less light so the dust bunnies occlude it making the spots show up visibly in your images. To achieve good results without spending hours in the editing tool doing spot removal you must have a clean sensor.
This time around I elected to not clean my own, partly because I'm out of swabs and my liquid is out of date and partly because the camera hasn't been properly cleaned since it was purchased. I could certainly have bought more swabs and liquid and cleaned the sensor myself but I wanted to get the machine cleaned properly and to be honest, the fee isn't that much more than a set of swabs and liquid.
One of our photowalk sponsors, VinTech Camera Repairs provides what they call an optical path clean where they clean the sensor, the image box, the mirror, focus screen and view finder. It costs a little more than buying a set of swabs and liquid but you do certainly get more than a clean sensor. It is important to clean all areas of the mechanism from time to time as cleaning only the sensor alone leaves dust and grime in the image box sitting on moving components which will find its way onto your sensor sooner or later.
I thought I'd give VinTech a try, especially since the provider I've used for service and repair in the past has drawn out their service times to two weeks unless you pay a rush fee. I contacted Marty by email and he was fine with me bringing the camera in the next business day. He said it would be an hour or two then I could have it back. Vintech is a small business so service and reputation are important to Marty.
I dropped the camera off to their workshop in the city in the art deco Mitchell House, Level 5, 358 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. Marty greeted me and we chatted about the work and how I found them. He accepted my camera, documented it and the lens I was leaving him and the work I wanted done and explained the minimum service charge and in this case the cleaning fee and said it would be ready in about two hours and said he'd call me if he discovered any problems.
I set off to wander around the city and returned a couple of hours later after doing some phoneography. I now know how to reliably lighten my camera bag - take the camera out!
On arrival, I paid the fee and retrieved my now clean camera, a quick check through the viewfinder showed just how much had been cleaned away. I could clearly see the the grid lines on the focussing screen again and the viewfinder was spotless. The inside of the image box was also spotless. Of course there is only one way to check out a sensor clean properly and that's photograph something bright at f/22 and take a look. When I gave VinTech the camera there was a microscopic hair in the top left image corner and approximately 25 large spots visible at f/11 and up and around 40 smaller spots visible at f/16 and up and countless visible at f/22. On testing I find that no spots are visible until f/22 where there are eight faint ones that I had to work pretty hard to find on the big screen. This is as clean as I would make it myself. There were no streaks or marks on the sensor (as often happens when you do it yourself requiring a re-clean).
Overall I'm very happy with the result and even happier that the clean has a warranty. VinTech offer a one year warranty on their work and offer to re-clean the sensor if spots show up in the near future - they will, they're inescapable. The service was very personal, it was great to speak with the technician instead of the receptionist.
I should point out that I paid the normal retail fee for this and VinTech are not giving me anything to write this blog. I'm writing it support a photography oriented local small business that I've had good service from and supports our photographic community here in Melbourne.


Hi all. I started vegetable gardening in my backyard very recently. I succeeded in growing bitter gourd, bottle gourd and my chilli plants are doing nicely. However, I failed with the tomatoes, capsicum, spinach, radish. My herb garden includes spearmint, peppermint, basil, purple basil, stevia, a variety of chives; but I am unable to grow Cilantro.
I want to grow lavender, chamomile to boost the pollinating insect like bees; but I was unable to germinate seeds of both.
Recently I have grown seedlings of cucumber and cauliflower as well as I have some potatoes planted.
I stay in the same location from my birth and I can recall my dad and granddad growing lots of veggies in the monsoons when I was a child. My grand dad is no more and my dad has since then diverted to growing roses and other flowering plants.
I believe that a garden should be productive; though the peace I get out of getting my hands dirty in soil is reason enuf to keep me continuing. I have a plethora of doubts and the collective information of the fabulous gardeners here will surely help me. Thanks to all in advance.
welcome to the group and i can see already that you are contributing a lot by helping out novice gardeners.

Q: Why don't billionaires (or multi-millionaires for that matter) use the Martingale betting system? Here is the link to my simulation: (The data is based on using the Martingale betting system in European Roulette)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GH48faKeK5clonmYO6aySzchGeRhp7nx8Kc0cA0UFVA/edit?usp=sharing
As you can see, there is a linear growth rate with a few dips here and there, but overall, it seems to be profitable.
So back to my question, why don't rich people just make a simple program, hook it up to some online casino and make money?

A: Two main reasons:

*

*It is actually unprofitable in the very long run, no matter how large one's finite wealth is. In your example, the player is one loss away from going bust as early as round 17 (edit: well, seems to me the sheet rerolls the results on page load or something. Bummer). I would've guessed a bust to have happened in your experiment too, but the periodicity of pseudorandom number generators might play a part here.

*There is a big practical hindrance - casinos don't tend to allow arbitrarily large bets. If the betting cap for a single spin of the wheel is set, for example, at ten thousand dollars, that will nullify the billionaire's ability to take advantage of the Martingale strategy despite their virtually limitless wealth.
(A note about simulation methodology: given an infinite list of random win/lose results, we can always retroactively set the player's bankroll high enough, or cut the length of the sample, to make the Martingale appear profitable. This can happen easily by accident but is not an indicator of the strategy actually working while it will seem deceivingly promising)

A: Let me give an answer in the context of Martingale Theory.
First, let us translate the setting into probabilistic notation. Let $Y_1,Y_2,\dots$ de iid variables with $$p=P(Y_1=1)=1-P(Y_1=-1),$$ where $p\in (0,1/2)$. Define the so-called martingale betting strategy:
$$\phi(y_1,\dots,y_{n-1})=\begin{cases}2\phi_{n-1}, & y_{n-1}=-1\\1&y_{n-1}=1 \end{cases}$$
It's quite straightforward to show that in this setting, the capital at time $n$, defined by
$$X_n=\sum_{k=1}^nY_k\phi_k(Y_1,\dots,Y_{k-1}),$$
is a (strict) supermartingale, so that the expected capital is (strictly) decreasing through time.
One may then wonder why is this system famous, or why one may even consider to play with this strategy. The answer lies in the fact that one may decide to look at the process only at specific times and this new "subsequence" of the initial capital process will be a submartingale! More precisely, if one decides to cash-out only when one has just won, i.e., at times
$$\tau_1=\inf\{n\in\mathbb{N}:Y_n=1\}\:\:\:\tau_{k+1}=\inf\{n>\tau_k:Y_n=1\},$$
then the new capital process defined by
$$Y_k=X_{\tau_k}$$
is a (strict) submartingale. In fact, $Y_k=k,\:\forall k$. (This explains -to some degree - the linearity of the top of your graph).
So now we have established that it is a feasible idea to use this strategy and then just cash-out at a winning time. The reasons for why this strategy can't be carried out in practice are:

*

*Casinos have an upper bound of how much money you can owe them, and if $(X_n)$ is replaced by a modified version of it which is bounded from below: $$X_n'=\min\{X_n,K\}$$ for some real number $K$, then actually $(X'_n)$ is uniformly integrable, which implies by Optional Sampling that for any non-decreasing sequence of a.s. finite stopping times $\sigma_1\leq \sigma_2\cdots$ the process cashing out at those instances, defined by $$Y'_n=X'_n$$ is still a supermartingale.

*Even if there was no money barrier, if $p$ is small, as it usually is, then the (geometric) times between successes have big mean and huge variance, such that a player may need to spend a ridiculous amount of time at the casino before he can leave at a favourable point.

Emerging plan may feature nation"s second aircraft carrier, new destroyer
China will host a multinational naval activity on April 23 in Qingdao, Shandong province, to honor the 70th birthday of the People"s Liberation Army Navy, according to a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense.
Senior Colonel Ren Guoqiang, deputy head of the ministry"s information office, told reporters at a news conference on Thursday afternoon that the activity has been approved by the Central Military Commission, and detailed information about it will be published later.
The PLA Navy said in a statement on Thursday that it welcomes reporters to cover the activity and that a media center in Qingdao will start receiving journalists on April 20.
Sources close to the Navy told China Daily that the activity is highly likely to comprise a massive sea parade of major ships, submarines and aircraft from the Navy, along with vessels from other countries, noting it is also likely to be even larger and more spectacular than the sea parade in the South China Sea on April 12, 2018, that involved more than 10,000 Navy personnel, 48 ships and submarines and 76 naval aircraft.
Wu Peixin, a defense industry observer in Beijing, said the April 23 activity will be a good occasion for the Navy to showcase the latest hardware delivered during the past year.
"I am looking forward to seeing the participation of the second aircraft carrier, the Type 055 destroyer and the latest aircraft," he said. "However, whether the second aircraft carrier will be ready for this parade - which is likely to be its public debut - depends on its sea trial schedule."
China"s second aircraft carrier - the first to be designed domestically - is reported to have begun its fifth sea trial earlier this week. Observers have speculated that the new carrier will be commissioned before April 23 so it can appear in the unprecedented demonstration of the country"s naval prowess.
The Chinese military said the colossal vessel displaces more than 50,000 metric tons and will have stronger fighting capability than the CNS Liaoning, the Navy"s first carrier, which was refitted from an unfinished Soviet Union vessel.
Meanwhile, if the Type 055 guided-missile destroyers, widely believed to be the mightiest of its kind in the world, can take part in the coming parade, they will be further testament to the PLA Navy"s growing strength.
The 10,000-ton destroyer, usually designated as a cruiser by foreign observers, is equipped with what are believed to be the most advanced radars and missiles in the world and has more than 100 vertical launch cells capable of firing various kinds of projectiles.
At least four Type 055 ships have been built, while the first of them is said to be very close to being commissioned.
An insider in China"s military shipbuilding industry who asked not to be named said he hoped the electromagnetic railgun being tested by the Navy could be displayed in the coming parade.
"If it can show up in the parade, it will tell the world that we are the first to have deployed this state-of-the-art weapon, which will have the power to reshape the future of naval warfare," he said.

And my code:
public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException,InterruptedException {

// create an empty model
 OntModel m = ModelFactory.createOntologyModel(OntModelSpec.OWL_MEM,null);

// use the class loader to find the input file
InputStream in = FileManager.get().open(inputFileName);
if (in == null) {
    throw new IllegalArgumentException( "File: " + inputFileName + " not found");
}

// read the RDF/XML files
m.read( in, "" );

Scanner user_input=new Scanner(System.in);
String input;
System.out.print("Enter your concept");
input= user_input.next();

ExtendedIterator<?> i1 = m.listClasses();
while(i1.hasNext()){
 OntClass oc = (OntClass)i1.next();

 if( oc.getEquivalentClass() != null){
   input=oc.getEquivalentClass().toString();
 System.out.println("Equivalent Class name: "+oc.getEquivalentClass().getLocalName());
  }
}

Using this code, I got a list of equivalent classes, for example SemiActiveDamper and VibrationAbsorber. But my target is only to get SemiActiveDamper or VibrationAbsorber according to user input.  How could I solve this problem?

A: Duplicate of http://answers.semanticweb.com/questions/24208/how-to-get-equivalent-class-depends-on-user-input
use string comparison on the URi of the equivalent class
Better - add user readable labels to the classes and search on those.

Manuel García Banqueda (Santiago, Chile; 1803 - íb.; 4 de mayo de 1872), fue un militar y político chileno.
Fueron sus padres Antonio García, Alférez de los Dragones de la Reina y Juana Banqueda. Se casó con Dolores Carmona Fonseca y tuvieron familia.

Vida militar
En el año 1817 se incorporó como cadete en la Escuela Militar que creó Bernardo O'Higgins ese año.
Concurrió a la batalla de Maipo y mereció un escudo de honor.
Desde 1820 hasta 1824, hizo la campaña de Valdivia y luego la de Chiloé.
Después de una segunda campaña a Valdivia, volvió a Chiloé y participó en la toma del castillo de Roquecura y la acción de Bellavista.
Fue ascendido a capitán y se incorporó al batallón Maipo.
Realizó tres expediciones contra los mapuches de Mariluán y en el año 1828 fue destinado al cantón del Maule, para combatir a los Pincheira.

Trató de ayudar y defender a Portales, cuando ocurrió el motín de Quillota, durante la guerra contra la Confederación Perú-Boliviana.

En 1838 formó el ejército restaurador del Perú, al mando de Blanco Encalada y participó también en la segunda campaña, a las órdenes de Bulnes. Comandaba el batallón Portales. Peleó en la portada de Guías, en la retirada de Chiquián, en el puente de Buin y en la batalla de Yungay; después de esta batalla, obtuvo como premio el grado de coronel, el abono de un año de servicio y dos medallas de oro, una del Perú y la otra de Chile.
En 1855 ascendió a general de brigada y en 1862, a general de división.
Peleó en Loncomilla a favor del Gobierno y en el año 1859 fue nombrado general en jefe de la expedición que operó sobre Talca; puso sitio a esa plaza y la rindió el 21 de febrero.

Fue un leal y convencido sostenedor del Gobierno y del principio de autoridad.

Comandante del Regimiento de Infantería n.º 1 Buin
El 20 de abril de 1851 el Regimiento Valdivia se subleva dentro de los hechos de la llamada Revolución de 1851. 3 días después de esta sublevación (23 de abril) el regimiento fue disuelto y reorganizado, por mandato de don Manuel Montt bajo el nombre del Regimiento de Infantería n.º 1 «Buin». Por consejo del expresidente Manuel Bulnes, se designó como comandante al coronel Manuel García Banqueda, quien ya estaba retirado del ejército.

En el año 2010 el Ejército de Chile contactó a los descendientes de don Manuel García y solicitó sus restos, que yacían en el Cementerio General de Santiago.Fue así que el 6 de diciembre de 2010 y con motivo de la celebración del bicentenario del Regimiento de Infantería n.º 1 «Buin», se llevó a cabo una ceremonia en donde se depositaron sus restos en un memorial que lleva por título "El regimiento Buin a sus héroes", en el patio del regimiento.

Ministro del presidente Montt
El presidente Manuel Montt Torres lo nombró ministro de Guerra y Marina, por Decreto de 29 de septiembre de 1857, cargo que ocupó hasta los inicios del gobierno del presidente José Joaquín Pérez Mascayano, 9 de julio de 1862. Es decir, ocupó el cargo durante todo el período presidencial de don Manuel Montt.

Vida política
Fue elegido diputado propietario por Rancagua, período 1834 a 1837; integró la Comisión Permanente de Guerra y Marina. Y fue también fue elegido diputado suplente por Chillán.

Diputado suplente por Valparaíso, periodo 1840 a 1843; no tuvo ocasión de reemplazar al diputado propietario.

Diputado propietario por Santiago, período 1852 a 1855; integró la Comisión Permanente de Guerra y Marina.

Nuevamente electo diputado propietario, pero por Concepción, período 1855 a 1858; continuó integrando la Comisión Permanente de Guerra y Marina.

Electo diputado propietario por San Carlos, período 1858 a 1861.

Diputado propietario por Santiago, período 1861 a 1864; optó por Santiago, habiendo sido elegido también diputado propietario por Concepción.

Dejó de existir en Santiago, el 4 de mayo de 1872.

En la literatura
Manuel García es el protagonista de la novela histórica Se las echó el Buin del autor chileno Jorge Inostrosa Cuevas

Who Invented the Computer?
April 20, 2019 InformationQ.com Computer, News 0
Father of Computer:
There are many people who had spent their life for making new inventions in the world of computing without which the world would be crippled, out of these, Charles Babbage's invention of analytical engine in 1837 with parts like ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit), flow of control and basic memory, made him the father of computer. His thoughts were noble and innovative, but his economic conditions didn't support his making. Unfortunately, he couldn't get sponsors. This analytical engine served as the base for our modern computer.
However, after his demise, his younger son Henry Babbage made the first version of analytical engine in 1910 and the second version was done by the London Science Museum.
Later many refinements were done. However, inventions like the Turing machine (A hypothetical computing machine) by Alan Turing, Z series computers by Konrad Zuse, ABC (Atanasoff-Berry Computer) computer by John Vincent Atanasoff, Personal computer by Henry Edward Roberts made the world to take a great leap towards advancement.
List of Computer Scientists:
Contribution Year Inventor Specialty
Analytical engine(basic model) 1883 Charles Babbage Operated mechanically
Analytical engine version 1. 1991 Henry Babbage With I/P and O/P and processing systems.
Analytical engine version 2 1992 London Science Museum With i/p and o/p and processing systems.
Turing Machine 1936 Alan Turing A hypothetical machine with predefined rules.
ABC computer(Atanasoff –berry computer) 1937 John Atanasoff The digital computer using vacuum cubes.
Von Neumann architecture. 1960 John von Neumann Single memory stored program architecture.(described how a program reproduce itself)
Altair 8800 (The first PC) 1974 Henry Edward Roberts Memory board and interface board.
Computers have made a home in businesses & corporates around for thousand years. The very first or one can say the earliest computer was like Abacus, the musical play instrument for kids, the series of beads that were arranged on several metal rods. Beads were arranged on the back as well as front side to operate on numbers. This was a very elementary kind of computers which we consider a musical play instrument or a toy for a child in the modern technology world. Our scientists & computer experts had a plan or an idea to involve electricity in the computers. They wanted to have a tough playground with electricity & electronics. Indeed. Our mind reminds us that a computer is an electronic gadget with a screen, mouse, keyboard & a CPU which works through electricity at homes, offices & several corporates.
The very first computer used a considerable amount of electricity that changed voltages into vacuum tubes. This conversion was made to operate the computer. Punch cards, as well as behemoths, were used to give instructions to the computer. These punch cards & behemoths required a space of several floors of the building. Only the Government & privileged universities were liable to make use of those behemoths & punch cards.
In the later 1960s, vacuum tube was replaced by the integrated circuit as well as a transistor. These transistors & integrated circuit helped greatly to save the power consumption & it also required a considerably small place. These were still very huge in size & only institutions have access to computing power. During the end of the 1960s decade, a microchip was discovered, which further helped engineers to reduce the size of the computers. During the 1970s & later parts, computers were used extensively for business & study purposes. The Personal Computer (PC) unit was born in the later 1970 stages since people used to have a computer at their place. Computers have now become very affordable & these are very much refined as well as efficient to use.

The Yellowstone is only created when a matching pair of large burls are found for the base. This billiard table is the finest example of Drawknife craftsmanship. A unique blend of Natures own handiwork and mans creativity truly makes each Yellowstone a ONE-OF-A-KIND work of art!
Each of the huge burl logs that make up the base is an extremely rare find. Occasionally, as with the example pictured here, a single burl log is large enough to split in half to make both of the base pedestals. This log has the spectacular combination of a wonderfully, knotted, gnarled look on one side and a heavily, beetle-tracked look on the other, giving this table a totally unique appearance from each side.
Matching burls do not come along every day so those desiring the Yellowstone often have to be patient while Mother Nature helps Drawknife Billiards to locate the materials!

Though starships have been traveling hyperspace for millennia, the technology propelling these ships is always evolving. Advanced shielding and weaponry must also be outfitted for any starships venturing outside secured hyperlanes. In the years of the Great War, shipbuilders crafted a new generation of starships. Republic and the Imperial engineers developed a variety of unique designs for official use, but some of the most advanced models have surfaced on the black market, where Bounty Hunters, Smugglers, and pirates pay high prices to acquire the most advanced technologies available.
The BT-7 Thunderclap is the Republic's largest and most elite rapid assault ship—streamlined for fast deployment in combat situations. Upgrades requested by Republic Special Forces ensure reliable performance and durability: state-of-the-art armor plating and heavy laser cannons provide exceptional combat capability, modular shield systems protect the Thunderclap from enemy fire, and the ship's design deflects blaster fire away from crucial components in the event of shield failure.
The classic Freighter has advanced by leaps and bounds since the Dynamic class Freighters from the days of the Jedi Civil War. The freighter is larger and more versatile than its predecessors, and the XS Stock Light model also features a variety of significant upgrades that make it one of the fastest and most nimble ships in the galaxy. In addition to an enlarged cargo hold, the XS also has secret compartments throughout the ship for transporting contraband and anything else the captain would prefer to keep hidden.
Developed at the height of the Great War, the Defender was custom-built for the Jedi Order. The Jedi Council commissioned the starship after determining that Republic military vessels were not well-suited to the Jedi's more specialized missions. The Defender's exterior design is based on the consumer model corvette, but it has been outfitted with countless customized upgrades.
The starships of the Imperial Navy are the product of centuries of military research and development. The Empire designed its fleet to destroy the Republic as quickly and efficiently as possible. During the years of the Great War, however, the Empire refined its design strategies. Co-opting newly discovered technologies and revising blueprints according to lessons learned, Imperial engineers built a new generation of starships.
Featuring an advanced hyperdrive and state-of-the-art sub-light engines, the Fury is the most versatile starship in the Imperial fleet. Though initially designed for high-priority military missions, the Fury has become a favorite among Sith Lords and the latest models have been engineered accordingly.

Stara čaršija u Tuzli, poslovno-uslužni dio (čaršija) i prostorno-teritorijalna cjelina iz osmanskog vremena. Vrijeme nastanka je 16. stoljeće. Tuzla je 1548. dobila status grada, čemu je zasluga i Čaršije, te značajnog razvitka već postojećeg obrtništva, trgovine i proizvodnja soli. Razvila se Čaršija oko Hadži Hasanove džamije (znane poslije kao Čaršijska džamija). Tvorilo ju je nekoliko ulica u i obilovala je poslovnim objektima kao što su dućani, obrtničke radnje, magaze, hanovi i dr. Urbanom razvitku mnogo je pridonio tuzlanski vakif Turali-beg. Turali-begova zadužbina (vakuf) mnogo je pridonijela da se urbano, ekonomski i kulturno razvije ovaj dio grada. Oko 1572. je izgrađeno podosta objekata među kojima je trideset i osam dućana, han, hamam, vodovod i česma. Time je Čaršija zaokružena u poslovnu jezgru. Stara čaršija bila je unutar Hadži Hasanove mahale koja je bila unutar onodobne utvrde Palanke.

There are many reasons you might consider sedation dentistry for your dental treatments. Whether you're dealing with dental anxiety, pain, or other conditions, Relaxation Dental Specialties offers sedation dentistry to help you feel more comfortable during dental visits. Our team of dental professionals are some of the only experienced and certified sedation dentists in the area, ensuring that you can have a safe and pain-free treatment.
If you're scared of the dentist to the point that you avoid appointments, then chances are that you have dental anxiety. Having dental anxiety can feel like an embarrassing condition. Don't be embarrassed. Dental anxiety is incredibly common. About 9 to 15% of Americans suffer from dental anxiety, and would rather live with gum disease, broken teeth, and even tooth loss than go to the dentist. In less severe degrees of dental anxiety, patients will force themselves to go to the dentist but might have panicked feelings before and during the appointment. Like most mental disorders, dental anxiety can be treated with medication.
Sedation dentistry is the use of medication to help patients feel more relaxed during their dental treatments. During most sedation treatments, patients are awake, unless they require deep sedation or general anesthesia. Two of the most common types of sedation are oral conscious sedation and IV sedation. Both forms of sedation can offer light to deeper levels of sedation.
Oral sedation is an effective medication for treating mild to moderate levels of dental anxiety. These forms of sedation are better options for patients that have needle phobias. Oral sedation is typically administered in two different forms, through a pill form before the appointment or through a nitrous oxide mask.
Nitrous Oxide: Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a form of minimal sedation, where a mask is placed over your nose to administer nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide will help you relax in a controlled manner. Laughing gas wears off quickly, and you will most likely be able to drive yourself home after the procedure. Nitrous oxide is often used with smaller children, since it is one of the safest forms of sedation.
Oral sedation medication: Oral sedation is the most common form of sedation dentistry. Oral sedation pills can offer minimal to moderate sedation. With minimal sedation pills, you will remain awake but feel a little bit drowsy. In larger doses, you will experience moderate sedation, which might make you feel a little bit groggy afterwards, or cause you to fall asleep during the procedure. Your dentist will be able to wake you up with a light nudge.
Like oral conscious sedation, IV Sedation will induce a moderate form of sedation, only the medication is injected intravenously. The main difference between IV sedation and oral sedation is that IV sedation takes effect much quicker. IV sedation levels can also be adjusted throughout your entire dental treatment.
Who is Eligible for Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry can also help patients that are embarrassed about their teeth, or who do not want any memory of their treatment. Oral sedation can help you relax for five to six hours after ingesting the pill, which can help you stay relaxed to complete multiple dental treatments in one sitting.
Sedation dentistry is safe when it is administered by certified and experienced dentists. At Relaxation Dental Specialties, your safety is our main priority. Our dental experts are experienced with additional training and certifications in sedation treatments.
During your sedation treatment at Relaxation Dental Specialties, one of our staff will remain with you at all times, monitoring your vitals. Patients with certain conditions, like obesity or obstructive sleep apnea should make sure they address this before their treatment. To rule out any risks, you should make sure you discuss your medical history with Dr. Brown before your treatment.
The Dentists at Relaxation Dental Specialties are empathetic of patients suffering from dental anxiety and want you to feel safe and comfortable during your dental appointments. We make your dental visit feel like a spa trip by using advanced dental relaxation techniques and conscious sedation technology. Stop postponing your dental treatments today, schedule an appointment at Relaxation Dental Specialties.

Reading: User-involvement in a migrant health clinic – A clinical study
User-involvement in a migrant health clinic – A clinical study

Introduction: User-involvement in a hospital setting requires the involvement of all stakeholders. Deprived and vulnerable groups of patients are under-represented in most health participatory initiatives. Ethnic minorities are consistently left out of user surveys, satisfaction surveys and quality surveys mainly because of language and cultural barriers and misunderstandings. In a Migrant Health Clinic, at a Danish University Hospital a distinct group of patients with minority background are enrolled with severe complex symptoms, uncharacteristic pain conditions, post-traumatic stress, complicated by language problems, social isolation and poor understanding of the body. In January 2017 the Migrant health clinic initiated a user-panel.
Aim, theory and methods: The aim of this study was to explore if patient involvement via a user-panel in a migrant health clinic could build on co-creation among patients and staff. In our study co-creation is about the involvement of users and health care professionals in the planning, creation and delivery of care and treatment. Co-creation is about getting everybody engaged around the table and thereby acknowledge every body´s input, the focus lies on relations and the values created through co-creation. Via field observation and informal interviews we uncovered and observed relations and interactions in the user panel over a period of four years.
Results: The panel consists of nine patients with different country of origin, language, gender, social background, and age, and a doctor, a research nurse, and a social worker are professional-representatives in the panel. The panel meet every second month, last two hours and ends with pizza and soft drinks. An interpreter also attend the meetings.
All patient-representative stated they were driven by making a difference to their fellow citizens, and were from the beginning very active and came up with relevant topics to improve practice. The professionals in the panel aimed to create a "safe space" where all members could express their opinions, wishes and ideas. The meetings had the same structure, but was developed in co-creation with all participants. New ideas were discussed and later implemented, like education to interpreters and a new name for the clinic. The panel have commented and been engaged in future and ongoing research projects.
Conclusions: Constructively, all patients in the user panel were driven by collective goals and made an effort not to deal with their individual concerns. The main conclusion from all members of the user panel was that making use of patient input leads to higher quality in care, treatment and research in the migrant health clinic. The panels input to education and to research programs have had significant impact. Vulnerable patients have a very important voice and should be invited to be involved in healthcare and treatment.
Implications for applicability/transferability, sustainability, and limitations: Inviting vulnerable patients into engagement in clinical treatment, care and research can have significant impact on clinical practice. But it requires health care professionals having the insight and the competences to see the process of co-creation as an open dialogue, and to be flexible enough to change direction based on the feedback they receive.

World Cup Fashion: The Uruguayan National Team Wears Cool Wool Suits in the Heat of the Qatar World Cup
In Fashion & Culture, Fashion Business, Fashion Design, Fashion Features, Fashion PR, Sustainable Fashion by Adriana Camargo December 10, 2022
Wearing an elegant suit in Qatar can be very challenging due to the extremely high temperatures in the desert. However, the Uruguay National Soccer Team was able to pull it off by wearing super cool wool suits made from Merino wool produced by farmers in Uruguay. Merino wool is known for its thermal insulation properties, allowing this fine fabric to be worn in both winter and summer. Merino wool allowed the members of the Uruguayan delegation to stay fresh and elegant in the extreme weather while representing their country at the World Cup.
The use of Merino wool suits in Qatar was an attempt to showcase the versatility of the fiber. Each player and member of the Uruguay National Soccer Team delegation wore a custom-made suit designed by Studio Muto, a renowned menswear apparel brand that has designed men's tailored suits for over 50 years. They were manufactured from Merino wool that was produced, washed, and combed in Uruguay, then transported to Italy to be woven at one of the best Italian textile manufacturers.
The President of the National Soccer Association said, "We wanted to add our 2 cents so that the National Team was an ambassador of Uruguay to the world. Through this innovative initiative, our delegation in Qatar displays the effort, the search for excellence of our country, from workers to producers, industry, designers, and the added value of Uruguayan agricultural production."

Sky Blue Wool in Qatar Features Uruguay's Merino Wool Industry
Uruguay XII in collaboration with the Uruguayan National team joined in this project called "Sky Blue Wool in Qatar" which turns the national soccer team players into ambassadors of one of Uruguay's flagship traditional industries.
Members of the Uruguayan National Soccer Team wearing Merino Wool Suits.
The Uruguayan wool business is known for producing high-quality wool that is valued internationally for its provenance and a production method that meticulously considers genetics, breeding, shearing, and conditioning. Uruguay takes great pride in its highly skilled workforce and long history in this industry, which makes it a global leader in the production of Merino wool.
The suits are made of a superfine, under-18 micron Merino wool making it possible to create lightweight Super 130s fabrics, with 260 grams per meter, that have a soft feel on the skin, which responds comfortably to Qatar's harsh climate conditions while following global fashion trends. The quality of a suit using this superfine wool can cost up to $3000 in the apparel market.
Merino wool is just one of the fibers that Uruguay produces. Uruguay is a wool-producing country with a long history where tradition and innovation are combined. It is one of the four textile poles that exist in the world, the main one at a regional level and one of the main suppliers of wool at a global level. Wool and fabric exports occupy 12th place in the country's export matrix of goods.
The "Sky Blue Wool in Qatar" initiative is a joint effort by the Uruguayan Wool Secretariat (SUL), the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INIA), the Regional Innovation Consortium for Ultrafine Wool of Uruguay (CRILU), the Uruguayan wool processing industry represented in the Chamber of Commerce, the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture, and Fisheries (MGAP), the Sports Secretariat and the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF), with the support of Uruguay XXI, an agency that works to promote the Uruguay Wools brand in the world
Fashion Mingle Interview with Luis Muto – Studio Muto's Design Master
Studio Muto is a company dedicated to the design and creation of men's clothing for over 50 years. Their Italian heritage influences the way they tailor their garments. "Merino is a very noble wool that with the technological textile processes of the advanced industry make an excellent fabric." – Luis Muto
Studio Muto clients are anyone who likes to dress elegantly in both quality of craftsmanship and in fabrics. Studio Muto dresses a wide range of clients, from young men, grooms, politicians, executives, athletes, actors, and actresses with clients from Argentina, Chile, Brasil, Paraguay, and around the globe.
FM: What has been the highlight of this experience for you as a designer and as a brand?
Muto: It is quite a challenge to dress the Uruguayan team, the delegation is made up of players, coaching staff, and leaders, and as such, there are different design elements for each of the groups. The most outstanding thing is undoubtedly the responsibility to give an image to the Uruguayan National team, which is like giving an image to a country!
As a brand, the diffusion and prestige of designing for the entire delegation elevates us and lets us enter into a whole new, more casual, and sporty sector.
FM: What's next for Studio Muto?
Muto: We are giving a new push to our women's tailoring lines both in design and promotion. We have expansion plans to Argentina, a very loyal client. We will continue to develop new sports lines for men with a more casual image, expanding our traditional sartorial style.
Uruguay and Sustainable Fashion
The work that Uruguay XXI does is aligned with the country's vision of sustainable industry development, which includes initiatives for the Uruguayan fashion industry."Sky Blue Wool in Qatar" campaign showcases Uruguayan wool as a natural, renewable, recyclable product, which is produced in the country in a sustainable way, using certified processes and products, friendly to the environment and the welfare of animals.
This initiative is part of a series of joint activities that the country aspires to develop with athletes with the goal of sharing the values that distinguish Uruguay and wool as one of its premium products.
Uruguay XXI also supports the "Universo Mola Fashion Week" event every year, which is part of an international movement of Latin American sustainable fashion in which Uruguayan and Latin American brands exhibit their sustainable collections.

What's a mere $150,000 fine to a boss like UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor (pictured)? One less drop-top Rolls Royce Phantom for his expending fleet, I assume.
That's likely why the Nevada Athletic commission also tacked on 50 hours of community service for McGregor's part in August 17's UFC 202 pre-fight press conference melee where he and Nate Diaz flung bottled water and canned drinks at each other from across the venue.
Francisco Aguilar chimed in and said the "cost" of McGregor's time essentially equals dollars, so they unanimously settled on 5 percent and 50 hours of community service.
Worse case scenario for McGregor, who phoned in to Monday's meeting while his attorney represented him at the proceedings, would have been a suspension, which would have cost him his sport in next month's UFC 205 title tilt against lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez.
McGregor apologized for his actions and said the pressure of avenging March's shocking upset loss to Diaz fueled his rage.
"I acted wrong and all I can say is I'm sorry." McGregor said, while admitting he acted erratically because the rematch with Diaz was the biggest fight of his career.
Diaz was also slated to appear at today's hearing, but his meeting with the NAC was postponed until later this year. If he's hit with the same financial punishment that McGregor received, Diaz will lose $100,000 of his $2 million purse.
The money is just a drop in the bucket for McGregor, who last month boasted that he intends to close 2016 with $40 million in the bank.
Per usual, McGregor arrived roughly 20 minutes tardy to the UFC 202 pre-fight presser. Diaz appeared agitated immediately after seeing McGregor hit the podium fashionably late. Diaz sat through a few McGregor questions, roughly eight minutes worth, before he had enough and bolted from the table with his entourage, flipping his nemesis the bird the whole way out.
"F**k your whole team, how about that?" Diaz shouted at McGregor.
"Shut your f**king mouth, you'll do nothing. Not one of ya will do nothing. Get the f**ck out of here!" McGregor screamed back at Diaz and his crew, which included big brother, Nick Diaz.
Nate Diaz then threw a plastic water bottle in McGregor's direction, and that's when all hell broke loose. McGregor returned fire with any bottle and can he could get a hold of. Several people in Diaz's entourage, including former UFC and Strikeforce star Jake Shields, heaved more bottles at McGregor.
McGregor went on to post a controversial majority decision win over Diaz in a thrilling back-and-forth battle three days later.

This paper analyzes the relation between population dynamics and the pension system in Mexico by applying an economic-demographic model in three economic scenarios related to the evolution of employment in the formal sector of the economy. The basic point which emerges is that, while rapid growth of employment in the formal sector increases the pension system's contribution base in the near term, it also increases demands upon the system in the long term.
Throughout this paper, the complex nature of the linkages between population dynamics, economic change, and the pension system are emphasized.

Sanders and Warren Climb, Biden Dips in New 2020 Democratic Presidential Poll
Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden is slightly trailing fellow candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, according to a new presidential poll.
The latest query of voters from Monmouth University released Monday shows a virtual three-way tie between the top candidates. Sanders and Warren are each at 20%, compared to Biden who is at 19% among likely Democratic voters.
Sanders and Warren climbed six and five percentage points, respectively, compared to a similar Monmouth poll taken in June. Biden, who had a comfortable lead dipped 13 percentage points in that same poll from two months ago.
While Biden still remains atop many polls, the gap is narrowing between the former vice president and the other 20 or so Democratic presidential hopefuls. Additionally, several strategists and experts say Biden's recent public gaffes might be catching up to him.
"As we move further into the election cycle you will likely see the poll numbers tighten," said Brian Sobel, a San Francisco Bay Area political analyst. "While it's true that Biden has been taking a lot of hits for his mistakes, it may lead to speculation whether he is competent to be president as some Democrats are not rushing to defend him because there still are so many candidates."
Despite the misstatements that certainly will be "magnified," Biden has some time recover, Sobel said.
"This is not the death blow. Biden needs to pay attention to what he says because his speaking off the cuff appears to be backfiring," Sobel said. "He needs to be a lot more disciplined, and if he doesn't, he's going to continue to have these problems that may bite him."
The latest Monmouth poll is also probably the best showing for Sanders, the Vermont senator who has been as low as fourth in most polls. The poll also shows a continued steady rise for Warren, the senator from Massachusetts, as well. Warren has also seen her favorability rating climb to 65% from 60% in May, according to the poll, while Sanders' favorability rating has remained pretty steady at 64%, a slight dip from 65% three months ago.
Meanwhile, Biden has seen his favorability rating dropped to 66%, compared to 74% in May.
However, "it's important to keep in mind this is just one snapshot from one poll," said Patrick Murray, director of Monmouth's Polling Institute.
"The main takeaway from this poll is that the Democratic race has become volatile. Liberal voters are starting to cast about for a candidate they can identify with. Moderate voters, who have been paying less attention, seem to be expressing doubts about Biden," Murray said. "But they are swinging more toward one of the left-leaning contenders with high name recognition rather than toward a lesser-known candidate who might be more in line with them politically.
"…But it does raise warning signs of increased churning in the Democratic nomination contest now that voters are starting to pay closer attention," Murray added.
The Monmouth poll of just 298 registered voters who identify as Democrats or lean toward the Democratic Party, was taken between August 16-20. It has a smaller sample compared to other national polls, and a margin of error of plus or minus 5.7 percentage points. The findings reveal that Biden's support fell sharply and broadly across key demographic groups, liberals, and moderates, white and nonwhite voters.
Among liberal voters, Warren not too surprisingly captured 24% of voters, with Sanders at 21%. Biden came in third at 15%, followed by California Senator Kamala Harris, who has seen a decline in polling since her consensus strong showing in the first debate at 11%. South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg rounded out the top 5 with 5%.
Yet, Biden fared well with moderate and conservative Democratic voters with 22%, followed by Sanders at 20%, Warren at 16%, and Harris at 5%.
Biden also has a better showing with voters age 50 and older with 33%, compared to warren at 19% and Sanders at 11%. Buttigieg came in with 5%.
But, with voters under 50, Sanders is on top with 27%, followed by Warren (19%), Harris (12%), and Biden trailing with 6% and tying with tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang also with 6%. New Jersey Senator Cory Booker came in with 5%.
While the Democratic National Committee officially recognizes the Monmouth survey as a qualifying poll for the next two debates, Monday's poll results have no effect on which candidates will qualify for next month's crucial debate in Texas.
