I was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome which means the left part of my heart wasn't properly formed. I had three lots of open heart surgery in the first three years of my life. Because of my condition I struggle sometimes – I also have epilepsy – but this hasn't stopped me wanting to fundraise.
I've spent lots of time in hospital and friends and family have seen how brilliant the Evelina and ECHO have been, giving me and my family lots of support. The charity has always there at the end of the phone or email, and I wanted to be able to give something back.
I love being able to take part in fundraising events. We've held cake sales and done lots of running – my mum and brother Will have completed a sponsored 5km run and my Uncle Rob did a 10km race too. All my siblings and cousins ran a 1km race with me as well!
But recently we did something really mega, climbing up and over the roof of the O2 in London – attached to a rope of course! It was really hard as I get short of breath, but it was a fantastic feeling. Team Hook raised over £2,000 for ECHO.
The care that the Evelina and ECHO give to children with heart conditions is amazing and the hospital saved my life on more than one occasion. Fundraising with ECHO Teens is just one way I can say thank you for all they've done for me and my family.
With the NHS struggling so much, charities have to step in and provide more and more these days and that's why I wanted to support ECHO by fundraising. It's a great way to get involved, be part of a team, and have lots of fun.

Monitoring Tool
Sub-seabed carbon dioxide storage
Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) is an important strategy in mitigating anthropogenic CO2 emissions. All credible climate change scenario models indicate that CCS will be essential to meeting the internationally agreed targets set by the UNFCCC Paris Agreement in 2015, which aims to limit global warming to 2º C relative to pre-industrial levels. The European Union's commitment to the Paris Agreement involves reducing carbon emissions by 85-95% by 2050, with the greater ambition of becoming carbon neutral by 2050 in order to limit global temperature rise to 1.5ºC. The EU's "Clean Energy for all Europeans" package, published in 2019, clearly identifies CCS as a critical step towards achieving a climate-neutral economy.

The aim of CCS is to capture CO2 from large emission sources, such as power stations and industrial facilities, transport it to a storage site and permanently lock it away so that it cannot be released into the atmosphere. CCS storage sites are usually geological formations deep underground, either onshore or offshore.
The Strategies for Environmental Monitoring of Marine Carbon Capture and Storage (STEMM-CCS) project was funded under the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme to address the current knowledge and capability gaps in approaches, methodologies and technology required for the effective environmental monitoring of offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) sites. Drawing on a broad range of expertise from researchers in 14 institutions, including Shell as the principal industry partner, the project undertook extensive research into a range of CCS-relevant issues including: the establishment of accurate environmental baselines; better understanding of fluid flow pathways in the sub-seafloor and their implications for reservoir integrity; methodologies for detecting, tracing and quantifying CO2 leakage in the marine environment, and the development and testing of new technologies to enable cost-effective monitoring of marine CCS operations.
Central to the project was the STEMM-CCS controlled release experiment – the first sub-seafloor release of CO2 to be carried out under real life conditions. Implemented at a site near the Goldeneye platform in the North Sea, this experiment successfully simulated a CO2 reservoir leak scenario and demonstrated that the leak could be successfully detected and quantified using the range of instruments, tools and techniques developed during the project.
In summary, STEMM-CCS has successfully developed and tested a robust methodology for establishing environmental and ecological baselines under 'real life' conditions. It has developed a suite of cost-effective tools to identify, detect and quantify CO2 leakage from a sub-seafloor CCS reservoir, including an assessment of the utility of chemical tracers in the marine environment. Results have enabled the modelling and assessments of the local, regional and wider impacts of different reservoir CO2 leak scenarios, including the potential role that fluid pathways in the shallow subsurface may play in reservoir integrity, and a decision support tool has been developed to assist operators in monitoring, mitigation and remediation actions. STEMM-CCS has delivered best practice for selection and operation of offshore CCS sites, and results have been shared with industrial and regulatory stakeholders in order to help increase confidence in the physical security of CCS, and to support the European Union's progress towards a carbon neutral society.

Film, theater, music and television are great because, if only for a moment, they give people a reprieve from the ordinary. But the talented artists who produce these works are just that: people. Behind the scenes, they have to get paid. In these industries, there's a complex web of residual payments—Blu-ray sales, syndication, use in commercials, you name it—that needs to be accounted for, from the performers to the writers and everyone in between.
Exactuals co-founders Mike Hurst (CEO) and Jason Hiller (CTO) have flipped the script on that complicated process. Having worked extensively with the major studios and guilds in the industry, in their former roles at a Fortune 500 software company, they've conducted thorough analysis on the industry's payment pain points.
That's where Exactuals' software, PaymentHub, comes in. PaymentHub helps companies distribute residuals, royalties and marketplace payments across the media and entertainment industries and a variety of others, too, helping them minimize excessive manpower and saving them time and money.
Born four years ago from the same incubator that birthed Facebook and Uber, Exactuals has grown exponentially, and PaymentHub is quickly landing lead roles in a variety of companies' Payables departments.
Knowing that the future of banking software would be based in the cloud, Mike and Jason deployed their business on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to fulfill the on-demand capabilities and scaling needs their business plan called for. They first recognized the need for a DevOps makeover with their deployment pipeline. They'd created a stand-out application and AWS set design, and needed to shift their focus to deploying it reliably, quickly and painlessly.
Because they had ambitious plans for integrating a wide range of AWS services into their model, like serverless computing with Lambda, data warehousing with Redshift, and relational databases on Aurora, they knew their interface had to be versatile—configurable and extensible. Aside from the special effects, Exactuals also needed to rewrite their DevOps transformation strategy companywide.
Exactuals needed an experienced partner to help them execute their DevOps vision, so Exactuals could focus on the complexities of their core business. Naturally, they chose HATech.
In the course of the ten-day POC, HATech accomplished all of this and more. Through their leadership workshops, joint sprint planning, daily standups and shared issue management, HATech and Exactuals worked together as a unified, in-sync team to deliver the capabilities of a complex AWS full-stack environment via a one-click automated pipeline.
My goal was to be able to push that one button and then have a full production-ready environment pop out the other side,. HATech really helped us do that.
HATech added some stage directions, assisting in formulating a strategy to implement their plan and create a flexible infrastructure not just for application deployment, but also the infrastructure below.
In just a few months, Exactuals has revolutionized their cloud development and operations, but even the very best don't memorize all their lines overnight. HATech has been so successful with Exactuals because of their stepped-in approach across the entire DevOps discipline. Each step introduces new improvements towards the next phase, whether it's focused on internal processes like deployment automation, or introducing an advanced new infrastructure orchestration tool like Terraform into the pipeline. Improvements are deliberately gradual, tailored to Exactuals' capacity to adopt, without impacting their current needs.
HATech will definitely continue to be one of the pillars of our internal and external resources that will allow us to achieve our goals with DevOps.
At the heart of their philosophy, HATech believes DevOps greatness is something to continue to strive toward, so for their part, they will ensure that Exactuals keeps moving in the right direction.
With this in mind, the partnership between HATech and Exactuals continues, with HATech practicing what they preach and collaborating transparently. Exactuals benefits from our ongoing innovations across HATech's entire ecosystem of customer-partners, where they are constantly challenged to adopt new technologies and create new patterns.
In Exactuals' starring role, HATech is a world-class supporter: They focus on the evolution of Exactuals' pipeline, leaving Exactuals to focus on creating better software and payment services—in turn delivering greater value to their business.
Given the partnership HATech and Exactuals have formed, it's safe to say that this story's far from the end of the script.


Looking "where to sell my Fiat Dino?" Ask the Chicago Car Club!
Are you wondering "where to sell my Fiat Dino ?"
The Chicago Car Club is interested in classic cars of all makes and models, especially a Fiat Dino. We make the process of selling your Fiat Dino quick and painless. In just a matter of hours we will have your classic valued and, if you do so choose, turned into money in your pocket. All it takes is a phone call or electronic inquiry to get the ball rolling.
The Dino was a sports car by Italian automaker Fiat, produced between the years of 1966 and 1973. The Dino name comes from its association with Enzo Ferrari. The Ferrari commissioned the Fiat company to make the cars so that they could homologate the engine for Formula 2 racing. New racing rules required that the engines used in the Formula 2 race cars come from production vehicles that had at least 500 units produced. Ferrari was a small volume car maker and did not have the production capabilities to create 500 cars, so they contracted with Fiat, in 1965, to have them made. "Dino" was the nickname of Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredo, who had died in 1956, but was credited with the initial design of the engine.
Fiat Dino 2 seater convertible Spyder was introduced at the 1966 Turin Motor Show. The coupe version appeared one year later at the Geneva Motor Show. It was a front engine, rear-wheel drive sports car with a V6 engine and a 5-speed transmission.
The 2.0-liter engine produced 158 horsepower and the 2.4-liter unit produced nearly 200 horsepower. The 2 liter engine was the same engine in the Ferrari Dino car. It could reach top speeds of 130 mph.
The body for the Spyder was by Pininfarina, and the Coupé by Berton which featured an all-steel unibody construction. 420 spiders and 2,398 coupes were produced during the production run. A Ferrari Dino could cost you $500,000 or more, but a Fiat Dino, with the Ferrari designed engine can be had for as little as $30,000, which should be considered quite a bargain.

Koh Lanta, Thailand--Esteemed Buddhist monk, Buddha Isara, addresses the villagers of Hua Laem after many of them lost their homes and fishing boats to the Tsunami on December 26th, 2004. "I know you are Muslims and I come to you not as a Monk but as a Thai," said Isara who pledged to supply the materials and experienced labor needed to repair the village's fishing boats. In addition, Isara plans to live in the village for several weeks, primarily to send a message to the Thai government of peaceful resistance to the relocation plans. Within Thailand, Isara is seen as a modern-day Gandhi figure, thus giving the villagers a powerful voice. 01/31/05 © Julia Cumes / The Image Works

Today we just hung around Wangi Falls swimming for most of the day. My bike was acting funny and I thought the freewheel was screwed up. Turns out my frame was broken! I took it with a happy go lucky approach, I was just glad it wasn't another flat tire.
Had a lot of fun swimming at the falls, the is a little pool up one of the falls that you can swim in also. We also jumped from the rocks into the water. Kinda unnerving being up that high. It seemed like you could sing Dylan's "Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts" in the time it took to hit the water.

Sculpture with powerful symbolism that resides in its shape and details. Its aesthetics transmits the inner strength and other traits belonging to an enlightened being: the hairstyle (Usnisha) represents meditation, spiritual life. The smile –without contrary–, inner balance. The ears, nobility, wisdom and the ability to listen. The hand's mudra symbolises the passing of knowledge. The Buddha walks peacefully, being conscious of every step.

South Africa announces 21-day nationwide lockdown over COVID-19 spike
By Abdur Rahman Alfa Shaban
with AP
South African president Cyril Ramaphosa has announced a 21-day national lockdown as the country's coronavirus figures surged on Monday to over 400 from 274 as at Sunday.
According to the president, the measure will start effectively Thursday March 26. He said the move was to help disrupt the rise of the coronavirus which has been rising since the first case was recorded early this month.
"The next few days are crucial. Without decisive action the number of actions will increase. This extremely dangerous for a population like ours. Our fundamental task is to contain the spread of the disease. We must therefore do everything to reduce the overall number of infections.
South Africa is currently Africa's most impacted by the coronavirus. Ramaphosa said all South Africans will have to remain home: "Individuals will not be allowed to leave their homes except in exceptional circumstances," he stressed.
The South African National Defence Force have been tasked to join the police to ensure the strict enforcement of the new rules.
The president also outlined a series of economic interventions from the government and with the cooperation of relevant private sector bodies. "We have set up a solidarity fund which focuses on efforts to combat the spread of the virus. The fund will compliment what we are doing in government. The fund will be chaired by Gloria Serobe.
"To alleviate congestion at pay points, grants for pensioners will be available from 30 and 31 March. Any employee who falls ill from exporsure will be compensated through the compensation fund," he added.
More than half of South Africa's total cases are in Gauteng province, which includes Johannesburg, the country's largest city with 5.7 million people, and the capital, Pretoria, with 2.4 million, according to figures released by the government health ministry.
South Africa has overtaken Egypt to become the African country with the highest number of cases. South Africa has not registered a death from the disease. The majority of cases are travelers from Europe and other countries, but the number of cases that are locally transmitted is rising.

I'm using an IEnumerator method in a nested class, but I am having trouble calling the method from within the nested class. However, I can access it fine from outside of the class.
So it seems to be an issue I'm having with Monobehaviour to be specific, but I do not know exactly what.
I'm primarily using this to loop a block of code every frame, so if there is an alternative that I can do within the nested class, then I'm open to it.
I've seen solutions to this issue by calling the IEnumerator from outside the nested class (as I show in my template example), but I'm wanting to do it from within the nested class so I can keep the method private.
Edit: I found a solution, but it isn't ideal so I'm leaving the question open. I gave the Goo constructor a Monobehavior parameter, which I pass the current instance of Foo, as Foo inherits Monobehavior (and is therefore also one), as the argument into the constructor. I then use that instance of Monobehavior to use StartCoroutine, which works fine(?).
The key is that you need a MonoBehaviour to run a coroutine. Nested class is a red-herring here -- it's really just how to run a coroutine from a "regular" class.
The nested class did inherit MonoBehaviour, but that did not work. Yet when a "regular" class inherits it, coroutines properly work (Goo inheriting Monobehaviour vs. Foo inheriting Monobehaviour).
And did you just create a new instance of a GameObject (GameObjecg g = new GameObject()) or create a new GameObject in-scene?


the fight and so can you!

A gold–aluminium intermetallic is an intermetallic compound of gold and aluminium that occurs at contacts between the two metals.

These intermetallics have different properties from the individual metals, which can cause problems in wire bonding in microelectronics. The main compounds formed are Au5Al2 (white plague) and AuAl2 (purple plague), which both form at high temperatures.

White plague is the name of the compound Au5Al2 as well as the problem it causes. It has low electrical conductivity, so its formation at the joint leads to an increase of electrical resistance which can lead to total failure. Purple plague (sometimes known as purple death or Roberts-Austen's purple gold) is a brittle, bright-purple compound, AuAl2, or about 78.5% Au and 21.5% Al by mass. AuAl2 is the most stable thermally of the Au–Al intermetallic compounds, with a melting point of 1060°C (see phase diagram), similar to that of pure gold. The process of the growth of the intermetallic layers causes reduction in volume, and hence creates cavities in the metal near the interface between gold and aluminium.

Other gold–aluminium intermetallics can cause problems as well. Below 624°C, purple plague is replaced by Au2Al, a tan-colored substance. It is a poor conductor and can cause electrical failure of the joint that can lead to mechanical failure. At lower temperatures, about 400–450°C, an interdiffusion process takes place at the junction. This leads to formation of layers of several intermetallic compounds with different compositions, from gold-rich to aluminium-rich, with different growth rates. Cavities form as the denser, faster-growing layers consume the slower-growing ones. This process, known as Kirkendall voiding, leads to both increased electrical resistance and mechanical weakening of the wire bond. When the voids are collected along the diffusion front, a process aided by contaminants present in the lattice, it is known as Horsting voiding, a process similar to and often confused with Kirkendall voiding.

All problems caused by gold–aluminium intermetallics can be prevented either by using bonding processes that avoid high temperatures (e.g. ultrasonic welding), or by designing circuitry in such a way as to avoid aluminium-to-gold contact using aluminium-to-aluminium or gold-to-gold junctions.

WOW. I read the book of acts recently and was similarly astounded. Very little of my actions are so surely faithful. Paul and Barnabas obviously knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that their Lord loved and cared for them, and would go with them everywhere. To them that was more important than preserving their own lives. Parts of acts sort of make me worried. I wish I had this kind of faith, but as it happens, I spend very little time even talking about my faith to anyone. It's not that I hide it, I just don't volunteer the info. But not only did they stand up and shout it out, but they held it to be their most important calling. This both inspires and frightens me.
I never looked at it that way before. It really is astounding. Nowadays Christians (and by that I mean 'me') look for the easy path, the way of least resistance. Paul went the hard way, the most dangerous way. And God went with him, God was faithful.

It measures 38″ from the waist to the hem. The drop to about mid thigh is straight then the skirt expands with 4 large pleats. The two front pleats are topped with buttons.


Likewise, health professionals have a right to expect behavior on the part of patients and their patients' relatives and/or guardians that is reasonable and responsible. Keeping appointments in a timely manner, following health professional recommendations and instructions, and being courteous to staff and other patients are examples of some patient responsibilities.
The Joint Commission describes in its Accreditation Manual for Ambulatory Health Care what it feels are reasonable rights and responsibilities to ensure that "patients are treated in a manner that reflects a recognition of their basic human rights."
The rights and responsibilities of patients are often combined into one document, called "A Patient's Bill of Rights and Responsibilities." This document should be made available to patients in the form of posters conspicuously displayed in the clinic or as pamphlets or flyers.
University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics offers an example of a patient's bill of rights and responsibilities.

Anorak News | Man who washed out swearing, homophobic boy's mouth with soap sentenced
Man who washed out swearing, homophobic boy's mouth with soap sentenced
by Anorak | 10th, July 2015
"The injured party was playing in the park which is close to his home address," says Prosecutor Glenda Beck at Sunderland Magistrates' Court. "The defendant approached him and there was an exchange of words."
A witness says the injured party, Alfi Forsyth, 6, had called Mr Jospeh Birtwell, 23, "gay boy".
"Ryan is walking along the road minding his own business. He is a young man who is very affable," adds Jason Smith for the defence.
"He sees the boy run across to an old gentleman with a stick and tries to kick the stick away. He remonstrates with him to which the boy, who the police, I have to say, accept that he is slightly out of control and perhaps not the best of young individuals, says to Ryan 'f*ck off'. Ryan says to him to stop swearing and when he doesn't he says back 'stop swearing or I will wash your mouth with soap,'something that used to happen in the good old days."
"The defendant went to a shop and returned with a bar of soap," Beck continues. "He pinned the injured party down to the floor and pushed the bar of soap into his mouth."
Birtwell, of Washington, admitted assault and was given a 12-month conditional discharge. He was also ordered to pay £85 court costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
The final word is with the boys' mother, who ofers: "I admit that my son swore and he got wrong for that, but like I said to the police at the time, kids do that kind of thing. At the end of the day, he is a 23-year-old bloke who has assaulted a six-year-old. The sentence is a joke."
The age of the old man with the stick is not given.

TRIA (the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act) was signed into law in 2002, after several extensions it appears set to expire at the end of 2014 unless the government takes quick action. The renewal bill appeared to have strong support. However, after additional legislation was added in at the last minute it met unexpected opposition. Lawmakers will likely try to re-implement the bill in 2015 but we are likely facing a period of volatility due to a lapse in coverage.
Before the events of 9/11 most insurers were silent on terrorism coverage – it was explicitly included in policies but was not excluded either. After 9/11 it became, not surprising, for insurers to exclude claims related to a terrorism event. The federal government stepped in and agreed to backstop insurers if they offered the coverage. How it works is quite complicated (give us a call if you want to talk about insurance details) but the government agreed to pay claims in excess of a large deductible of $100M per company (originally $50M). Insurers began to offer terrorism coverage when they took the government incentives and collected unlimited premiums with extremely limited risk. For a large global insurer with billions in paid claims a year a $100M limit on terrorism losses was appealing.
The headlines discussing this issue in recent days claim the business world with stop and the Super Bowl will be canceled, should consumers worry about their personal insurance? The short answer is no. Federal terrorism coverage is extremely limited and the claims must be verified by the Secretary of State. The Boston Marathon bombings, for instance, were not declared a terrorist event and were not subject to TRIA. Unless your insured house or car is near a terrorist target in a major metropolitan area there is likely nothing to worry about.

Rogers Fits Michelin X Works to Gold Volvo
Banffshire-based haulage contractor, Ian S Roger, marked the company's 50th anniversary in style with a new gold-liveried Volvo FH 540 6x2 tractor unit fitted with Michelin X Multi Z and X Works D tyres as original equipment.
Gold Volvo Truck on Michelin Tyres Helps Scottish Haulier Celebrate 50 Not Out
The eye-catching FH joins a mix of MAN, Renault, Scania, and Volvo trucks as part of a 32-strong fleet of vehicles used for a variety of agricultural-based haulage work. Almost the entire fleet now runs on Michelin tyres.
With three generations of experience, the company specialises in the transportation of bulk commodities including grain, vegetables, aggregates, animal feed and sawmill residues across the UK. It also transports livestock around Scotland.
Colin Roger, who runs the business with his brother Graeme, opted for Michelin X Works D 315/80 R22.5 on the Volvo's drive axle and X Multi Z 315/80 R22.5 tyres on the steer axle, following the advice of Michelin Territory Business Manager Allan Ross.
"I have been really pleased with the performance of the tyres. The X Works D is a great choice for wheel grip, while the X Multi Z offers better mileage for the long distances the Volvo travels in doing general haulage work," he says.
The company's trailer fleet for general haulage includes flatbeds, step frames, Tautliners and chipliners. It also has a number of rigid drawbar trucks for its livestock and general haulage operations.
Once the OE-supplied X Works D tyres reach the end of their serviceable life, they are replaced with Michelin X Multi HD D tyres. These are designed for optimum mileage and to be highly resistant to accidental damage. They are providing a mixture of performance and robustness for the firm's vehicles, some of which can clock up to 145,000km per year.
"The HD D's offer a good mix between regional and long-haul benefits, with excellent wheel grip," he says. "Our trucks can be hauling anything from building materials to animal feed to south-west England or the north coast of Scotland, so it is important to get the right mix of tyres to manage the heavy-duty work.
"We can always rely on Michelin for quality tyres that will go the distance and beyond. In pence per kilometre terms, they always work out cheaper.
"I have a great rapport with Allan and always feel like a valued customer," he adds. "He knows our business needs and keeps us up to speed on the latest tyre technologies. Michelin really offers the whole package – its customer support is second to none."
Since the Volvo FH 540 hit the road, the Roger family is delighted to see the gold truck raise the profile of the company, which was set up by Colin and Graeme's father, Ian.
"People are impressed," he says. "I've had a lot of positive feedback about us achieving 50 years because plenty of businesses don't reach this milestone. It's hard work that has kept us going, that's what we pride ourselves on."

Q: Why two characterizations of the arcsine distribution are equiv? According to Wikipedia the CDF of arcsine dist. is:
$$F(x)=\frac2{\pi}\arcsin(\sqrt{x})=\frac{\arcsin(2x-1)}{\pi}+\frac12$$
So, why are these two equivalent?
Thanks in advance.

A: One way to prove this trigonometric identity is to $(1)$ first show that the derivatives of the functions on both sides of the equality are the same, and $(2)$ show that the two sides are equal when $x=0.$
\begin{align}
& \frac d {dx}\,\frac 2 \pi \, \arcsin\sqrt x = \frac 2 \pi\cdot\frac 1 {\sqrt{1 - x}} \cdot \frac d {dx} \sqrt x = \frac 2 \pi \cdot \frac 1 {\sqrt{1-x}} \cdot \frac 1 {2\sqrt x} = \frac 1 \pi \cdot \frac 1 {\sqrt{x - x^2}}. \\[12pt]
& \frac d {dx} \, \frac 1 \pi \arcsin(2x-1) = \frac 1 \pi \cdot \frac 1 {\sqrt{1- (2x-1)^2}} \cdot 2 = \frac 2 \pi \cdot \frac 1 {\sqrt{4x-4x^2}} = \frac 1 \pi \cdot \frac 1 {\sqrt{x-x^2}}.
\end{align}
(To make them equal when $x=0,$ one must of course add $\dfrac 1 2$ to the second one; that is omitted above because it's not involved in finding the derivative.)
A more conventional way (without calculus):
\begin{align}
\text{Let } u & =\arcsin\sqrt x. \\[10pt]
\text{Then } \sin u & = \sqrt x \\[10pt]
x & = \sin^2 u \\[10pt]
2x-1 & = 2\sin^2 u - 1 \\
& = -\cos(2u) \text{ (This is the double-angle formula for the cosine.)} \\[10pt]
\arcsin(2x-1) & = \arcsin(-\cos(2u)) = - \arcsin(\cos(2u)) \\[10pt]
& = \arccos(\cos(2u)) - \frac \pi 2 = 2u - \frac \pi 2 = (2\arcsin\sqrt x) - \frac \pi 2.
\end{align}
(That $\arccos(\cos(2u)) = 2u$ relies on the fact that $2u$ is between $0$ and $\pi$.)

A: Put $x^2$ for $x$ and use $\cos 2x = \cos^2x-\sin^2x =1-2\sin^2x$
and $\arcsin x+\arccos x =\pi/2$.

A: Multiply by $\pi$ and take the sine:
$$\sin(2\arcsin\sqrt x)=\sin(\arcsin(2x-1)+\frac\pi2)=\cos(\arcsin(2x-1)).$$
Then
$$2\sqrt x\sqrt{1-x}=\sqrt{1-(2x-1)^2},$$ and after squaring,
$$4x-4x^2=4x-4x^2.$$

Home Members' News Huge investment for members Ohimio
Huge investment for members Ohimio
Paul Hutton June 18, 2018 2 min read	0
ITS (UK) members HMI Technologies/Ohmio has secured a US$20m investment agreement with the Heshan Industrial City Management Committee to establish an Ohmio manufacturing plant for Autonomous Vehicles and an Artificial Intelligence Transport Research Centre in the City of Heshan, China.
The agreement was signed by Mohammed Hikmet, the founder and Chairman of HMI Technologies and its subsidiary, Ohmio Automotion Ltd, and the Deputy Director of the Heshan Industrial City Administration Committee, Wu Xiaoqing.
"This is another milestone for the success of Ohmio and another 'vote of confidence' in Ohmio, following the signing of the Solaseado MoU in Korea earlier in April," Mohammed Hikmet said after signing the agreement.
"Not only will Ohmio be able to meet its mass production requirements inside and outside of China, but this investment also adds a huge boost to our existing research activities in establishing an autonomous platform solution as part of an entire ecosystem," added Dean Zabrieszach, CEO of HMI Technologies/Ohmio.
"The agreement sets the 1st of July as a starting date. There is a lot to do ahead of us, but we are so excited to start as soon as possible," Zabrieszach continued. "While the R&D centre in New Zealand will continue to be the main one, we look forward to the Heshan centre starting as soon as possible, under the supervision of our key technology and artificial intelligence leaders in the company."
"New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development helped HMI Technologies/Ohmio to accomplish this agreement and without them it would have been very difficult to achieve what we have achieved today", Hikmet explained. "Whilst this is an important milestone for the company, HMI Technologies/Ohmio regard it as a first step in the process of building the company as a global autonomous vehicle manufacturer. We will continue to work with NZTE, ATEED and MFAT to secure the company base in New Zealand and Australia, and to gain a foothold in other markets such as Europe and the US."

West Loop hotel faces possible foreclosure suit
Alby Gallun
Crowne Plaza Metro Chicago, 733 W. Madison St. Photo from CoStar Group Inc.
(Crain's) — Unable to refinance a $48.2 million mortgage that came due last month, the owner of the Crowne Plaza Metro Chicago in the West Loop faces a potential foreclosure suit, joining a growing list of downtown hotels struggling to pay back boom-era loans.
A venture led Skokie-based F&F Realty Ltd., which owns the 398-room hotel at 733 W. Madison St., has asked for more time to pay off the loan but must find a way to cover a large funding gap — perhaps as much as $27 million.
Owners of other big hotels, including the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower and the James Hotel in River North, find themselves in similar straits after taking out big five-year loans in 2007, when the market was at its frothiest. Though the hotel market's recovery is well under way, hotel investors can't borrow as much today as they could five years ago because their properties are worth so much less and lenders are so much tougher.
An F&F executive did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesman for LNR Partners LLC, the Miami Beach, Fla.-based loan servicer overseeing the Crowne Plaza loan, declines to comment.
The F&F venture borrowed the money from CIBC Inc. in 2007, the same year the loan was packaged into a commercial-mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) offering and sold off to investors. The F&F venture failed to pay off the loan when it matured on June 1, according to a loan report from Bloomberg L.P.
"Legal counsel has been retained and negotiations with the borrower regarding an extension are under way while foreclosure is being dual-tracked," the report says.
Ironically, the hotel's performance is improving, with its net cash flow before debt service nearly doubling, to $2.5 million last year, up from $1.4 million in 2009, the report says. Yet the property was still not generating enough cash flow to cover its $3.8 million in annual debt service costs, suggesting that F&F has been investing outside money to keep the loan current.
The maturity presents a bigger problem. CMBS lenders today will generally provide loans to hotels with an 11 percent to 12 percent debt yield, a term that represents a property's net operating income or net cash flow divided by the loan amount. The owner of the Wit Hotel, for instance, recently borrowed $87.6 million from JP Morgan Chase Bank NA at a debt yield of 12.1 percent.
That would imply that the Crown Plaza would qualify for a loan today of only about $21 million, less than half the $48.2 million owed on the property.
F&F could try to buy more time by seeking an extension of the maturity date. Or it could try to find a new partner to try to recapitalize the property with fresh equity or simply hand the property over to LNR and walk away.
With so many five-year loans made in 2007 coming due this year, delinquencies on CMBS loans have jumped this year, hitting 9.3 percent in May , according to Trepp LLC, a New York-based research firm. Hotels had the highest delinquency rate, 22 percent.

Tailteann Gold & Bronze for Casey Mulvey 22 June 2019
The Tailteann Schools Interprovincial Championship was held on Saturday 22nd June in Santry and our very own Casey Mulvey represented her school St Clares College Ballyjamesduff at the event, taking part in the shot putt and discus. Casey had a quiet start to the discus, slowly building up to her best throw in the final round where she sent the 1kg disc out to a distance of 37.10 metres, which saw her take the gold medal. Casey also took part in the shot putt where she just missed out on a silver medal, her best throw of 14.34m instead earning her the bronze medal. Congrats Casey.
Cavan Children's Games 6th May, at PeaceLink, Clones
The 2019 Cavan Children's Games took place at the PeaceLink athletics track in Clones on a mild bank holiday Monday 6th May. The day featured a mix of sprints, distance running, jumps, throws and team relays for the under 9 to 13 age groups, with the club ably represented by an enthusiastic squad.
In the Under 9 events, Emer Briody took third lace in the 300m. Twins Dylan and Oisin Farrelly had a great battle with each other in the boys 300m race, with the pair crossing the line too close to separate, so the judges awarded them joint first place. Dylan also took third place in the 60m sprint. In the U9 relay, the two boys were part of the gold medal winning team.
In the Under 10s, Shonnagh Brennan took the silver medal in the turbojavelin event, with teammate Ciara O'Reilly taking the bronze. Ciara and Bethan Stokes both made it to the final of their sprint event, but just missed out in a very tight finish that saw the top five athletes cross the line almost at once. But they didn't miss out in the relay, where Bethan, Ciara, Shonnagh and Emer had a fantastic race that saw them win the gold medal.
In the Under 11 category, Gráinne Gilroy picked up a silver medal in the sprint before going on to win the turbojavelin event. Liam Briody had a strong run in the boys events, winning the sprint and taking bronze in the 600m race. The girls relay team of Gráinne, Shonnagh, Bethan and Ciara battled hard to take third place.
And in the Under 12s, Zak Farrell was third in the shot putt, quite close to the silver medalist. The U12 relay team of Keelan Gilroy, Zak Farrell, Liam Briody and Gráinne Gilory took fourth place.
Well done to all who took part, we hope you had a great time.


Contained in your turn report will be a score. This will be divided into Military, Political, Magic and Economic as well as a total score. There will also be a list ranking all players according to the score. The score has no impact on the game at all. It is just so players can see how they are fairing and to feed the egos of those who are doing well. The score is based on a multitude of factors including the amount of controlled land, your castle, buildings, leadership of heroes, magic researched, cities, special places conquered and by other special events occurring during the game.

Cabrillo scholarship fund established for early…
Cabrillo scholarship fund established for early speech instructor
By Santa Cruz Sentinel and Jennifer Pittman |
PUBLISHED: November 4, 2013 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 11, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
APTOS — A memorial scholarship has been created for Russell Bryant, a decorated WWII veteran who overcame a severe stutter and, during his 23 years as a Cabrillo College instructor, helped shape a vibrant Speech and Communications Department.
Bryant, 94, died last month from heart and renal failure at his home in Penn Valley, a small, rural community in Northern California. He had been on hospice services since August. His family has created a memorial scholarship fund for student veterans at Cabrillo.
It comes at an important time for the College, according to Melinda Silverstein, executive director of the Cabrillo College Foundation, the on-campus organization that manages gifts, donations and scholarships for the college. Cabrillo established a Veterans Center about two years ago and has experienced a 100 percent increase in the number of veterans and their dependents on campus. Today more than 200 students are veterans or their dependents.
"We are making a concerted effort to serve the veteran population better," Silverstein said.
Ben Meade, a student veteran who works in the campus Veterans Office, said students have been hoping to put together funds for a scholarship at some point. "This is huge," he said.
"Russ was just an outstanding college instructor and an American hero," said Jack Turner, a retired communications instructor, dean and interim vice president at Cabrillo. Turner was hired by Bryant in 1971. "We have a very large and successful Communications Department; it really started with Russ. He had a warmth about him that would put students at ease."
Bryant was one of the first speech instructors hired by Bill Grant who was head of the Humanities Division at the time. His wife of 65 years, Juanita Bryant, later launched the Medical Assistants Program at the college.
"He was first-class in my opinion," Grant said from his Aptos home. "He had presence. He was forthright, honest-looking with a good face and good eyes and he had a wonderful personality."
But, Grant said, he was also very serious about his job and students often returned to say how much they"d learned.
Bryant"s passion for teaching was informed largely by his personal challenges as a former stutterer and as a combat veteran.
"It gave him a point of view with the students who might be hesitant or mumbling and it gave them some inspiration," said Grant who last saw his former colleague in the spring at a reunion of retired faculty. Bryant had driven his wife all the way down from Penn Valley in his old Lincoln.
Students, who often would have preferred root canals to public speaking, were invited to be comfortable in his class, Turner said.
"They not only respected him, there was a general warmth for him," Turner said. "Russ was a very talented teacher and the heart and soul of the Communications Studies Department. He set the philosophy for a successful program. He had a warmth and empathy and that permeated through the department."
One of Bryant"s passions was working with youth and he took young people from his church on annual waterskiing trips. At the end of one of these summer trips, he encountered a youth group from a poor congregation in San Jose and he stayed on an extra week to take them waterskiing. It was one of his favorite summer trips ever, said his daughter, Sally Bryant.
"He loved the water," she said. "The family joke is that Daddy always took the long way home. He always drove home along the water."
Bryant read at least two newspapers a day, was a fan of the 49ers, the Oakland Athletics and the Cabrillo College baseball team. One year he was awarded a medal of appreciation from the Cabrillo team for his perfect game attendance. As a decorated veteran, he shared his memories openly with others.
"The students gravitated to him, especially the veterans who knew they could share with him," Sally Bryant said. "I think he wanted people to remember that war is just horrible for people on both sides, that it should be a last option. He loved his country but he didn"t wear his flag on his sleeve. He said "Make sure the things you"re fighting for are worthwhile and keep nurturing those qualities.""
Bryant was also history buff known for occasional dramatic recitations in the hallways. In a deep baritone he could recite Gen. Douglas MacArthur"s last dramatic speech in which he quoted an old barrack"s song: "Old soldiers never die; they just fade away."

Andy Burnham: The Government are committed to continuing to support public sector workers in their efforts to deliver the best possible public services. Over the last 10 years, the Government have therefore sought to increase the number of frontline workers as well as their pay. In particular, the period January 2000 to January 2006 saw an increase of 29.4 per cent. in public sector average earnings, which compares to 23.8 per cent. in the private sector over the same period.
The Government's objectives for public sector pay settlements are that they should be consistent with maintaining the necessary levels of recruitment, retention and staff engagement needed to support service delivery; ensuring that total pay bills represent value for money and are affordable within Departments' overall expenditure plans; and consistent with the Government's achievement of the inflation target of 2 per cent.
Wage pressures are one of the factors considered by the monetary policy committee of the Bank of England when setting interest rates to meet the inflation target.
The CPI and the RPI measure changes from month to month in the cost of a representative 'basket' of goods and services bought by consumers. Each year the ONS reviews the RPI and CPI basket of goods and services and updates the weights used to aggregate price changes, to ensure the selection of products in the basket and their weights remain representative of the overall pattern of expenditure of the average household covered by the published indices.
There are some goods and services where household expenditure is sufficiently large that they merit inclusion in the basket in their own right: examples include petrol and telephone charges. More commonly, it is necessary to select a sample of specific goods and services that can give a reliable measure of price movements for a broader range of similar items. For example, price changes for garden spades might be considered representative of price changes for other garden tools.
Each item in the index is weighted to reflect the proportion of household expenditure spent on them. Changes in the weights of components over time reflect changes in the expenditure pattern of households. The underlying data source for the weights for both the RPI and CPI is ONS's Expenditure and Food Survey (EPS). The EPS is a continuous household survey which monitors the spending patterns of around 6,000 households across the country each year.
For further information on how the items are weighted you may wish to reference the publication by David Baran "Consumer Prices Index and Retail Prices Index: Updating Weights for 2007".
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the average household income was in each London Borough in each year since 1997. I am replying in her absence. (179726).
Estimates of household income (which include income from all sources such as earnings, benefits, pensions, and investment income), are generally based on household surveys. The largest of these is the Family Resources Survey which has an annual sample in the UK of around 28,000 households. This is sufficient to produce estimates of household income at national and regional level, but not for smaller areas. Statistics on earnings by employees are available for local authorities from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) which is an employer-based survey.
The ONS has published estimates of household income for what are known as the medium layer super output areas, for 2004/05 only. These estimates are based on a statistical model and are classed as experimental statistics—this means they have been developed in accordance with the principles set out in the National Statistics Code of Practice but have yet to be fully accredited as National Statistics. They are available through the Neighbourhood Statistics section of the ONS website. Super Output Areas (SOA's) are a new geographic hierarchy designed to improve the reporting of small area statistics. Unlike electoral wards, these SOA's are of consistent size across the country and are not subject to regular boundary change.
The table provided shows household income for each London borough for 2004/05, before and after housing costs. These estimates have been calculated using the estimates of income and also estimates of population for each SOA to calculate a weighted average income for each London Borough. The population estimates themselves are also experimental statistics. Figures on the number of households in each SOA are not available.
The average household income figures for the UK are taken from the 'Households Below Average Income' series produced using the Family Resources Survey. These are National Statistics. The 'Household Below Average Income' series usually presents results based on median incomes, however mean incomes are presented here to be more comparable with the small area statistics.
(1) Figures rounded to the nearest 10.
(2) Based on a population weighted average of medium layer super output areas.
(3) Equivalised incomes are adjusted for different household sizes and compositions. An equivalised income indicates a standard of living that could be achieved by a two adult household with no children, with that actual income.
(4) Housing costs include rent (gross of housing benefit), water charges, mortgage interest payments, structural insurance and ground rent and service charges.
Jane Kennedy: I refer the hon. Member to Kieran Poynter's interim report which was published on 17 December 2007 and is available in the Library of the House.
Kieran Poynter will consider the need for any further procedural changes in his final report which is expected in the first half of 2008.
Angela Eagle: The Government stated in the pre-Budget report that an announcement on the taxation of cars used for business travel—including mileage payments—would be made at Budget 2008.
Angela Eagle: Treasury Ministers and officials have meetings with a wide variety of organisations in the public and private sectors as part of the process of policy development and delivery. As was the case with previous administrations, it is not the Government's practice to provide details of all such meetings.

25 May 2016: Larry Gbevlo-Lartey Esq., Special Representative for Counter-Terrorism Cooperation and Director of the African Centre for the Study and Research on Terrorism (ACSRT) received a delegation from the French National Institute for Advanced Studies in Justice and Security (INHESJ), led by its Director Mr. Cyrille SCOTT on a visit to the ACSRT. The INHESJ is a French State sponsored public administration institution that offers training and conducts research at the strategic level in the areas of Justice and Security. The delegation included 120 course participants from various European and African countries and academic staff of the Institute. The visit was part of a study tour of the current course to Algeria.
In his welcome remarks, Mr. Gbevlo-Lartey, expressed his delight at the visit and underscored the need and potential benefit in pursuing cooperation between the two institutions in the areas of research and faculty. Madame Zainab Ali Kotoko the Coordinator of UFL, who was present, gave the delegation an update on the Terrorism situation in the Sahel region. Mr. Cyrille SCOTT, in his response expressed gratitude at the warm reception. He touched on the current focus of INHESJ on research into Counter-Terrorism and Violent Extremism. He welcomed the idea of exploring areas of cooperation between the two institutions and indicated he would be glad to personally lead that effort with the Director of ACSRT.
There were two presentations by Staff of ACSRT. One on the current terrorism situation in Africa and the other on the Foreign Terrorist Fighter phenomenon. ACSRT Publications were presented to the delegation at the end of the visit.


I'm a day late with my weekly gratitude post. This summer has been busy, but instead of stressing and getting frustrated that I've not had much time to write or post regularly here I'm trying to relax and go with the flow. On that note, I'll not be around much for the next week as I'll be away celebrating my 6oth birthday! I'm actually looking forward to my birthday instead of dreading it! Sixty is the new fifty, right?
-our youngest grandson two months old today!
-our new countertops are installed!
Happy birthday, dear friend. Have a wonderful time on your trip. We are leaving tomorrow for the beach! It was planned long before we all knew about the heat wave that's happening here at home. You are so blessed! It sounds like God is building His church in your part of the world. Great to hear. Bon voyage!
So excited for you over your Maine trip, Elizabeth! Such a blessing- will be praying for you and your husband as you travel. Happy birthday month!


As an active AAA player i am missing some guidelines.
When can we ticket vehicles, impound them etc.
Anyone with AAA license and is on duty as AAA can impound a vehicle. There's no whitelisting system for it.
The real question is how do you get Whitelisted so you CAN impound.
