Lakers' Kyle Kuzma on LeBron James' compliments: 'Keep letting him love my game'
Perform Omnisport - 13 September 2018
"You also have to take it with a grain of salt, because you don't want to get caught up in that...it's great, I love it, but keep working."
When LeBron James signed with the Lakers he knew what he was getting into. In fact, he liked what he saw even before he got there and now the team signed several more players.
"I love the young guys that they have," James said, via ESPN."I believe Rob [Pelinka] and Magic [Johnson] and Jeanie [Buss] have done an unbelievable job of reshaping what the organization should be, keeping Dr. Buss' dreams and what he was all about, to keep that going."
Kyle Kuzma is one of those young guys and could be a key running mate to James over the next four years. He isn't letting the compliment go to his head though.
"LeBron is a Mount Rushmore player in NBA history, so for him to say he's a fan of my game is a great compliment," Kuzma said, via NBA.com. "But you also have to take it with a grain of salt, because you don't want to get caught up in that. For me, it's great, I love it, but keep working. Keep letting him love my game."
The Lakers drafted Kuzma in the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft alongside Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart. It was Kuzma, though, who got all the attention as a potential Rookie of the Year candidate as he averaged 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds in 2017-18.
Los Angeles improved by nine wins last season and much of that had to do with their 2017 draft class. The Lakers now believe their 2018 free agent class, i.e. LeBron James, is going to make a marked difference. Kuzma knows he and his team are in a position to make a move.
"It means we're going to win now," Kuzma said. "Everybody, not only me, has to step it up. For me, I just want to be a great player, and that's what it's going to take. I've always been a self-motivated guy for basketball."
Kemba Walker has left the Hornets for the Celtics, but the All-Star guard still paid tribute to Michael Jordan.

Id is passed from JavaScript code as 338 correctly. Why does it show as 152? This isn't allowing me to get the proper data.
Ideas?

A: The number is displayed as hexadecimal, you can see this by the 0x..... Hex 152 is Dec 338.

A: Id is displayed in hexadecimal notation (as starts with 0x), 0x152 is equal to 338.

A: This is hexadecimal. It's the same number
0 = 0
1 = 1
2 = 2
3 = 3
4 = 4
5 = 5
6 = 6
7 = 7
8 = 8
9 = 9
A = 10
B = 11
C = 12
D = 13
E = 14
F = 15

Computers LOVE binary. So representing numbers in bases that of the form 2^n is awesome for working with computers ;)

Halloween is almost upon us and so with every hour leading up to Oct. 31 the veil between the spiritual and physical world diminishes.
It's such a vulnerable time for the unready, for the ghosts who are not spiritually steady. Those who carelessly dabble without cause or care can enter a most unscrupulous affair. Human curiosities are prime prey to mold like clay, easy to cord while easily lured toward endless pitfalls of unknown laws and dangerous claws.
On the upside, it's also the best time of year to "clean house" and get rid of the unwanted, unnecessary and non-beneficial energies in our lives.
Many Metro-Spirituals unintentionally spread their energy out like an open buffet for all to feast upon and then wonder why they feel depleted and defeated afterwards.
While we should always be cautious and attentive to whom we let into our bubbles of light, there are certain times of the year when one should be extra cautious. Like now.
For centuries "All Hallows Eve" on Oct. 30 was a celebration of connecting with lost loved ones on the other side because the veil between the worlds was so thin. But these days, so often the masses try to connect with "the other side" because it seems fun, and why not?
If you prefer agitating cranky ghosts with ill-intended agendas for your own personal amusement during the most powerful time to do so — which will likely have long-term negative affects on you — I suggest reading one of my articles on negative attachment or unwanted ghosts.
I also wrote an article on the history of Halloween, so read it if you're curious.
But let's focus on ways we can use Halloween to advance our energies by aligning them with our goals and get in tune with the loving, helpful side of the spiritual world.
Understanding that now is prime time for all communications with the otherworldly realms, especially between the physically living and the non-living, is also the best time to cut off unhelpful communications.
It's the best time to bond with your guides, loved ones and angelic friends and to let them help guide you so you can cut off all those — both spiritual and physical — who do not serve your higher purpose any longer.
I recently spoke with Angelique De Wolfe on the subject. She is a spiritual counselor, vibrational healer, psychic medium, reiki master, energy cleanser, tarot card reader…the list goes on. She is well-suited to discuss the multi-layered spiritual realms.
Angelique stressed that having healthy boundaries in this world leads to having healthy boundaries in the spiritual world, which makes perfect sense. She also said spirits can be very clever and can lie to you and give you a false sense of security.
But understanding the power you have right now is a tricky treat. You can cut ties with anything negative in your life by imagining a cord, and then envisioning that cord being severed.
Take 15 minutes to do this again and again over the next few days. Put yourself in a white solid light of protection. See it, feel it, and then imagine a big blade cutting all cords that are attached to your energy — but are not benefitting you — being severed.
That goes for any negative relationship: sexual, friendship, work-related, family or spiritual.
Angelique suggested reciting this when you do it: "I cut the cord throughout all time and space. I am taking back my power I may have given you and I am giving you back your power I may have taken from you."
She explained that cutting the cord dilutes the energy with the person or entity, who will then feel the shift and will often almost immediately try to reach out to you. You will then need to repeat envisioning cutting the cords.
I have done it many times in my life, both with ex-friends and lovers with whom neither was serving the other's higher needs. It works, but you need to do it with love and no ill feelings. Be thankful for what you learned and realized.
Which leads me to this: We are all trying to figure it out and we are all part of a ripple affect. We have for so long all lived in our own bubbles and if it doesn't affect us directly, then who cares, right?
Wrong! Every single thought affects the collective as a whole because we are all from the same source of energy. We are all one, and every action and reaction affects something that affects something else, and on and on it goes.
As Angelique eloquently put it: "At the end of the day, we are all just walking each other home."
We are at a crucial time right now, my friends. We need more love energy and less hate. Let's do our part, as small as it may seem. Clean out our own crud and lesson the negative weight. Transparency can be seen through the veil on Oct. 31. Let's use it to our advantage.
"Most people want to just live their lives, but most people are good and will help one another," Angelique said. "It's all coming to the surface, like a volcano; it's a pressure cooker. We have to heal the many riffs we have and move on collectively.
"We need to bring in that love of this new level of existence. If I'm good and I can help you and make your life better, then we are both more empowered."
Angelique and I are doing a Faceook Live shindig Sunday, Oct. 29 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. ET (3:30-4:30 p.m. Pacific Time). You can send your questions ahead of time or message us during the live event.

Scientists Crack Genetic Code for Rare Cancer That Beset Steve Jobs
By Mike Martin
Jan 20, 2011 12:00 PM PT
Johns Hopkins University scientists have deciphered the genetic code for a rare type of pancreatic cancer -- neuroendocrine or islet cell tumor -- that Apple CEO Steve Jobs told the world he'd been diagnosed with back in 2004.
The discovery explains many of the cancer's troubling, highly variable properties and suggests new treatment approaches.
"This is big news," said Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle, who, though he studies Apple, has never entirely understood Jobs' diagnosis. "I suspect that not only could this discovery impact the market for Apple's stock, but that it could also have a very positive impact on genetic and pancreatic tumor research generally."
Described online in the Jan. 20 issue of Science Express, the deciphered genetic code confirms an unusual property of the illness that Jobs himself had a hard time convincing markets and analysts to accept: that with this form of pancreatic cancer, he could still live a long time.
"I had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which represents about one percent of the total cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed each year," Jobs wrote in an August 2004 email message. "It can be cured by surgical removal if diagnosed in time (mine was)."
Since then, Jobs has left Apple twice for medical leave, and appears unusually thin in public meetings, but is still very much alive and very much the beating heart of Apple innovation.
Unique Code
The newly deciphered genetic code is significant for four major reasons, co-investigator Ralph Hruban, M.D., professor of pathology and oncology and director of the Sol Goldman Pancreatic Cancer Research Center at Johns Hopkins, told TechNewsWorld.
For the first time, it clearly distinguishes between neuroendocrine islet cell pancreatic cancer and its famously fatal brethren, pancreatic adenocarcinoma. "These two cancer types have fundamentally different genetic codes," Hruban said.
The research also provides several so-called "prognostic markers" which can predict which patients and which treatments will fare best.
"One of the most significant things we learned is that each patient with this kind of rare cancer has a unique genetic code that predicts how aggressive the disease is and how sensitive it is to specific treatments," explained co-investigator Nickolas Papadopoulos, Ph.D., associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and director of translational genetics at Hopkins' Ludwig Center.
Thirdly, one of six patients with the rare cancer has genes that contain mutations in a gene called mTOR, making those patients candidates for treatment with mTOR inhibitor drugs, several of which, such as rapamycin and everolimus, are already in use.
It's not known if Jobs' cancer involved such a mutation, but the discovery may prompt his physicians to check.
"This is a great example of the potential for personalized cancer therapy," said Hruban. "The one of six patients who are most likely to benefit from a drug can be identified and treated, while patients whose tumors lack changes in the mTOR pathway could be spared the toxic side effects of drugs that may not be effective in their tumors."
Finally, the discovery has unearthed a "whole new genetic pathway" involved in causing cancer, Hruban told TechNewsWorld. "Cancer is fundamentally the product of genetic errors," he said. "To find such a new genetic pathway through researching a rare cancer is very exciting."
Personalized Therapy
The Johns Hopkins team investigated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in 68 men and women. Patients who had mutations in the MEN-1, DAXX and ATRX genes lived at least 10 years after diagnosis. More than 60 percent of patients whose tumors lacked these mutations, however, died within five years of diagnosis.
In experiments to identify the mutations, the researchers sequenced nearly all protein-encoding genes in 10 of the 68 samples, comparing the sequences with normal DNA from each patient. In other experiments, the researchers studied the remaining 58 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors to determine how often the mutated genes occurred.
Previously linked to many other cancers, the MEN-1 gene occurred in more than 44 percent of the 68 tumors. The DAXX and ATRX, not previously linked to cancer, appeared in 25 percent and 17.6 percent of the 68 study participants, respectively.
Those genes are part of the new genetic pathway Hruban said the researchers found.
All three genes impacted so-called "epigenetic" processes, such as how DNA folds and twists. Unlike genetic processes, epigenetic processes operate outside of genes. They also suggest potential future therapies.
"To effectively detect and kill cancers, it may be important to develop new diagnostics and therapeutics that take aim at both epigenetic and genetic processes," said co-investigator Kenneth Kinzler, Ph.D., professor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and co-director of the Ludwig Center at Johns Hopkins.
As a major supporter of the research, the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation (CCF) is pleased with all the new findings. Carcinoids are rare, neuroendocrine tumors that normally arise outside the pancreas, but have many similarities to the cancer Steve Jobs has battled.
"We work very hard for patients with these rare cancers," CCF director Lauren Erb told TechNewsWorld. "If the interest in Steve Jobs can help get the message out, that's good news."

Every Thursday Maihi comes to Room 7 to teach us about the Maori culture and what they used to play in the 1800s and 1900s. First we did knuckle bones which we think is from the late 1800s. All we had to do was chuck the bones/stones in the air and see if you get any stones on the back of your hand. Then chuck the stones back in the air and catch them again, until you don't catch any more.
Mainly he teaches us about string games. The main thing you can make with the string is; parachute, cup and saucer and two of diamonds. We think that learning about the Maori culture is great because there are loads of different games and drawings we can do.


We were approached by Nicolas Legendre, the Operations Director of Heligan Gardens in Autumn 2016 with a view to installing a pizza oven in an outdoor space they were creating adjacent to the restaurant. Almost 2 years on, we finally handed over the project after an extensive remodelling of the outdoor seating area and waiting for funds to come through from various fund-raising ventures.
We installed the oven in June 2018 whilst the Heligan in-house carpentry team built the counters, prep areas and roof. The outdoor cooking area also features a DrumBQ next to the pizza oven to relieve pressure on the extremely busy restaurant and let the chefs experiment with a wider range of baked goods cooked at high temperature.
The Heligan pizza oven is a unique conception of French oven manufacturer Four Grand-Mere, who have designed an unusual transverse wood-fired oven, one that is wider than deep, enabling the chef to access all parts of the oven easily and without setting one pizza behind another. Available in two models, the 1350 and 1500 both can be specified in either chamotte or brick or as standard or raised height.
"We have now established a large working team with its own vision for our third decade. The award-winning garden restoration is already internationally acclaimed; but our lease now extends into well over 200 acres, leaving the project far from complete. We intend Heligan to remain a living and working example of the best of past practice, offering public access into the heart of what we do.
Our contemporary focus is to work with nature, accepting and respecting it and protecting and enhancing the variety of habitats with which our project is endowed." read more here about the history of The Lost Gardens of Heligan, near Mevagissey ,Cornwall.

This is written by a participant in Prizmah's Moot Bet Din and was argued there recently.
What are the possible halakhic approaches to an accident involving a self-driving car? Who is at fault, and who is liable to pay for any damages? Could Jewish law even matter when dealing with this? With the recent accident involving an Uber vehicle in Arizona, it might be time to take a closer look.
If decoding this sounds like a challenge to you, then you are in good company. In March 2017, Jewish high school students from around the country gathered in Houston, Texas to present their findings on a hypothetical incident involving self-driving cars, in a program called Moot Beit Din, coordinated by Prizmah: Center for Jewish Day Schools. The sources that we utilized were primarily drawn from Bava Kamma, a section of the Talmud that focuses on damages, torts, and restitutions. Our analysis focused on categories of dangerous activities that could be applied to the self-driving car.
I find two key differences in the case we analyzed and the Arizona accident. The accident that took place last week resulted in the actual loss of life. While it is important to use this incident to better understand modern application of Jewish texts, I must point out the very real pain caused by the situation. My prayers go out to the family and community who lost a loved one.
The case that we analyzed had a specific set of facts that resulted in property damage and injury to another party. We concluded that the car responded predictably, and found liability on the part of the driver, who assumed a risk when getting behind the wheel of this car. In Arizona, the vehicle was owned by Uber, and was not operating according to Arizona law by exceeding the speed limit.
We must ask the question: did the "driver" have reasonable time or opportunity to override the system? Preliminary reports indicate that no, they could not have done so given the situation. Thus, the operator cannot be held responsible because of the failure of the automated software and the limited time to respond.
Based on my observations and interpretation of halakhic sources, Uber should be held responsible for this crash. The company incurred the risks involved in the commercial operation of an automated vehicle, and did not take all possible steps to protect their customers.. Since this vehicle was speeding there was substantial risk involved and a significant likelihood someone would be hurt. This showed a disregard for pikuach nefesh, a principle in Jewish law mandating that our actions must be carried with the highest regard for the protection of human life.
Studying halakha challenges us to think critically about our choices and the societies in which we live. While many people are familiar with mainstream Jewish interpretations of mitzvot surrounding kashrut or shabbat, our Jewish texts and traditions are filled with applicable material ripe for interpretation. In a rapidly changing world, self-driving car accidents are only one of the many issues that we must grapple with. Rabbis in the early centuries of Jewish legal interpretation could never have imagined the complexities of modern technology. Yet I would argue that their teachings can be applied to numerous circumstances in our contemporary Jewish experience.
As I reflect on Prizmah's Moot Beit Din program, I can also clearly see how the skills I developed assist me in my collegiate studies. Jewish sources often present logical puzzles, tasking us as readers to unravel their deeper meaning. This skill is applicable to many parts of my life as a freshman in college, even outside of my classes in Judaic Studies. The ability to critically analyze my sources, question interpretations, and develop a sound line of reasoning are important to many disciplines, and I feel more confident doing so because of my work with halakha.

New deaths as fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh keeps flaring; Azerbaijani rocket hits maternity hospital
Posted: Oct 28, 2020 / 08:13 AM PDT / Updated: Oct 28, 2020 / 02:47 PM PDT
A rocket front fragment lies at a newly built natal center damaged by shelling by Azerbaijan's artillery in Stepanakert, the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh, on Oct. 28, 2020. (Associated Press)
Rockets hit a hospital and residential areas Wednesday amid deadly fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces over the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh that has raged for more than a month despite a U.S.-brokered cease-fire.
In Nagorno-Karabakh, an Azerbaijani rocket hit a maternity hospital but inflicted no casualties. Azerbaijani authorities denied responsibility and in turn accused Armenia of launching a rocket strike on the town of Barda that killed more than 20 civilians and wounded over 70. Armenia rejected the accusations.
Nagorno-Karabakh officials said Azerbaijani forces hit Stepanakert, the region's capital, and the nearby town of Shushi with Smerch long-range multiple rocket systems, a devastating Soviet-designed weapon intended to ravage wide areas with explosives and cluster munitions. One civilian was killed in Shushi and two more were wounded, officials said.
There were no patients or medical personnel in the maternity hospital in Stepanakert at the moment of the strike, which also damaged adjacent premises of a sprawling medical center filled with patients.
Mger Musailyan, the center's chief doctor, denounced the attack as "inhumane," noting that the medical center is treating COVID-19 patients among others. The region has seen a spike in infections amid the fighting that has diverted scarce medical resources to treat the wounded.
"This is absurd to attack a hospital. It's prohibited in the whole world," Musailyan said.
Inna Gasparyan, the chief nurse, said the coronavirus patients are helpless. "Those patients who are here, they are all on breathing machines, they are very sick and they cannot be evacuated to the basement," she said.
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry denied hitting the maternity hospital and targeting other civilian areas and in turn accused Armenian forces of using the Smerch multiple rocket system to fire at the Azerbaijani towns of Terter and Barda. The strike on Barda killed at least 21 civilians, including children, and wounded more than 70, Azerbaijani officials said.
Armenian Defense Ministry spokeswoman Shushan Stepanian called accusations of striking Barda "groundless and false."
The U.N. children's agency UNICEF said a dozen children aged between 10 months and 16 years are known to have been killed during one month of fighting in and beyond Nagorno-Karabakh. It said that over 130,000 people have been displaced, 76 schools and kindergartens have been damaged and a maternity hospital has been shelled.
"Countless children are being scarred by the psychological impact of daily exposure to rocket and missile attacks in civilian areas," UNICEF said, urging an immediate cease-fire.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reiterated his appeal to Armenia and Azerbaijan to immediately implement the humanitarian cease-fire both sides committed to, saying "the ongoing hostilities are unacceptable and must stop immediately," U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev promised on Twitter a "befitting response" for the strike.
Nagorno-Karabakh lies within Azerbaijan but has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a war there ended in 1994. By then, Armenian forces not only held Nagorno-Karabakh itself but also captured substantial areas outside the territory's borders.
The latest fighting, which began Sept. 27, has involved heavy artillery, rockets and drones, in the largest escalation of hostilities over the separatist region in the quarter-century since the war ended. Hundreds, and possibly thousands of people, have been killed in the latest fighting.
The hostilities have raged for over a month despite international calls for peace and three attempts at establishing a cease-fire. The latest U.S.-brokered truce frayed immediately after it took effect Monday, just like two previous cease-fires negotiated by Russia. The warring sides blamed each other for violations.
According to Nagorno-Karabakh officials, 1,068 of their troops and 39 civilians have been killed in the clashes so far, while 122 civilians have been wounded. Azerbaijani authorities haven't disclosed their military losses, but say the fighting has killed 69 civilians and wounded 322.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said last week that, according to Moscow's information, the death toll from the fighting was nearing 5,000, significantly higher than what both sides report.
Azerbaijan's leader claimed in an interview published Wednesday that about 5,000 Armenian soldiers have been killed — a claim rejected by the Armenian military.
Russia, the United States and France have co-chaired the so-called Minsk Group set up by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to mediate the conflict, but they have failed to score any progress.
Aliyev has repeatedly criticized the Minsk Group for failing to achieve any results in three decades and insisted that Azerbaijan has the right to reclaim its territory by force since international mediation has failed.
The Minsk Group's co-chairs are set to meet with the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Geneva on Thursday, but prospects for progress appear dim.
Turkey, which has thrown its weight behind Azerbaijan in the conflict, has sought to take a more prominent role in the peace talks — something Armenia has vehemently opposed.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told his ruling party's legislators Wednesday that during a phone conversation with Putin the day before, he proposed that Ankara and Moscow work together to resolve the conflict by using their influence on the Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders.
"If you want, we can solve this issue together," Erdogan said, recounting his conversation with Putin. "You hold talks with (Armenian Prime Minister Nikol) Pashinian, and let me hold discussions with my brother Ilham (Aliyev). Let's bring this issue to a sweet end."
Asked about Russia's view of Turkey's push for a bigger role in the Nagorno-Karabakh talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that it's up to the warring parties to invite mediators.
Russia, which has a military base in Armenia and a security agreement to protect its ally, has been involved in a delicate diplomatic game while trying to also maintain good ties with Azerbaijan and avoid a showdown with Turkey.

Francis Ysidro Edgeworth (Edgeworthstown, County Longford, 8 februari, 1845 - Oxford, 13 februari, 1926) was een Ierse econoom. Edgeworth studeerde in Dublin en werd hoogleraar in Oxford.

Leven
Edgeworth werd in County Longford geboren in het dorp Edgeworthstown. Hij ging niet naar school, maar werd op het familielandgoed Edgeworthstown opgeleid door privédocenten, totdat hij oud genoeg was om naar de universiteit te gaan. Zijn grootvader van vaderskant was Richard Lovell Edgeworth; de kinderboekenschrijfster Maria Edgeworth was een van zijn vele tantes. Zijn vader, Francis Beaufort Edgeworth, "een rusteloze filosofiestudent aan de Universiteit van Cambridge, ging op weg naar Duitsland er in Londen vandoor met de zestienjarige Rosa Florentina Eroles, de dochter van een vluchteling/emigrant uit Catalonië, Antonio Eroles. Het paar had elkaar ontmoet op de trappen van het British Museum. Reeds na drie weken werd er getrouwd. Ysidro Francis Edgeworth (de voornamen werden later omgekeerd) ..." was de tweede zoon uit dit huwelijk. Edgeworth sprak dus vanaf zijn vroegste jeugd al drie talen, Engels, Spaans en Frans.

Als student aan Trinity College in Dublin en Balliol College, een van de colleges van de Universiteit van Oxford, studeerde Edgeworth klassieke- en moderne talen. Als een gedreven autodidact studeerde hij pas wiskunde en economie nadat hij zijn universitaire studies had afgerond. Hoewel hij zich in 1877 als advocaat in Londen kwalificeerde, oefende hij geen praktijk uit.

Op basis van zijn publicaties in de jaren 1880 op het gebied van de economie en de wiskundige statistiek werd hij in 1888 tot hoogleraar in de economie aan King's College London benoemd. In 1891 volgde een benoeming tot Drummond Professor of Political Economy aan de Universiteit van Oxford. In datzelfde jaar werd hij ook oprichtend redacteur van de The Economic Journal, tot op de huidige dag een van de toonaangevende wetenschappelijke publicaties op het gebied van de economische wetenschap. Edgeworth zou tot aan zijn dood 35 jaar later in diverse hoedanigheden aan de The Economic Journal verbonden blijven.

Werk

Edgeworths denkbeelden en theorieën droegen bij aan de ontwikkeling van de neo-klassieke economie. Hij gebruikte wiskundige technieken om beslissingen van een individu in de economie te berekenen. Een van de belangrijkste door hem geschreven boeken is Mathematical Psychics uit 1881. Edgeworth stelde hierin centraal dat het eerste principe van de economie is dat elke handelend individu alleen gedreven wordt door eigenbelang. Dit is ook een van de principes die gelden bij de rationele keuzetheorie.

Bijdragen aan de economie
In Mathematical Psychics (1881), zijn beroemdste en origineelste boek, bekritiseerde hij Jevons' theorie van de ruilhandel. Hij liet zien dat er onder een systeem van "recontracting" veel mogelijke oplossingen bestaan, het contract is als het ware onbepaald. Edgeworths "range of final settlements" werd later door Martin Shubik (1959) opnieuw gebruikt als het speltheoretische concept van de "the core" (de kern).

Vermoeden van Edgeworth
Wanneer het aantal agenten in een economie toeneemt, vermindert de mate van onbepaaldheid.
In het limietgeval van een oneindig aantal agenten (perfecte concurrentie), is het contract volledig bepaald en identiek aan het 'evenwicht' van de economen. De enige manier om deze onbepaaldheid van contract op te lossen zou een beroep op het utilitaristische principe zijn om de som van de nutten van handelaren over het bereik van de eindafrekeningen te maximaliseren. Het was overigens in Edgeworths boek uit 1881 dat hij in de economie de veralgemeende nutsfunctie, U (x, y, z, ...) introduceerde en als eerste een 'indifferentiecurve' tekende.

Internationale handel
Hij gebruikte als eerste aanbodcurves en gemeenschapsindifferentiecurven om zijn belangrijkste proposities te illustreren; daaronder ook het "optimale tarief".

Belastingparadox
Belasting op een goed kan daadwerkelijk leiden tot een daling van de prijs van dat goed.

Hij voorzag in de utilitaristische basis voor een hoge progressieve belastingheffig, met als argument dat de optimale verdeling van de belastingen zo zou moeten zijn dat het 'het marginale onnut voor elke belastingbetaler hetzelfde zou moeten zijn' (Edgeworth, 1897).

Monopolieprijzen
In een artikel uit 1897 over monopolieprijzen bekritiseerde Edgeworth Cournots exacte oplossing van het duopolieprobleem met hoeveelheidsaanpassingen evenals Bertrands "ogenblikkelijk competitieve" resultaat in een duopoliemodel met prijsaanpassingen. Ongeveer tegelijkertijd liet Edgeworth zien hoe prijsconcurrentie tussen twee bedrijven met capaciteitsbeperkingen en/of stijgende marginale kosten-krommen in onbepaaldheid resulteerde. Dit gaf aanleiding tot het Bertrand-Edgeworth-model van oligopolies.

Marginale productiviteitstheorie
In diverse artikelen uit de eerste jaren van de 20e-eeuw (1904, 1911) bekritiseerde Edgeworth de marginale productiviteitstheorie. Hij probeerde de neoklassieke theorie van de verdeling van een meer solide basis te voorzien. Hoewel zijn werk op het gebied van oorlogsfinanciën voor de Eerste Wereldoorlog origineel was, was dit werk een beetje te theoretisch en kreeg het niet de praktische invloed, waarop hij had gehoopt.

Limietstelling van Edgeworth
Zijn limietstelling heeft betrekking op het evenwicht van vraag en aanbod in een vrije markt (zie limietstelling van Edgeworth).

These high school sweethearts let the desert serve as inspiration for their Palm Springs wedding.
The popular hangout spot you frequented in high school may not be where you'd expect to meet your future husband, but that's what happened to Caitlin Pickavance and Panayioti Mastorakos in August of 2006. "We met just before our junior year of high school at the local movie theatre. Yes, we're high school sweethearts!" the bride reveals. Nine years later, during a trip to Mexico, Panayioti popped the question as the couple dined at a rooftop restaurant overlooking Puerto Vallarta. "The waiter didn't even know what was about to happen when Panayioti asked him to take a few pictures of us," Caitlin says.
They spent just under a year planning their April 30, 2016, Palm Springs wedding, with the peach-pink sunsets, cacti, and desert setting serving as their inspiration. When the big day arrived, 115 guests joined the bride and groom at The O'Donnell House, a 1920s landmark building perched high above the city, offering lots of privacy along with amazing views. With a laid back vibe and succulents tucked into every corner, you'll love this wedding's California cool atmosphere, photographed by Nicole Leever Photography.
A wash of peach watercolor brightened the couple's simple invitation suite.
The bride accessorized with Yves Saint Laurent: "The Tribute sandals are so comfortable, and I knew I would be able to wear them all day and night," she says.
Caitlin is an assistant buyer at Neiman Marcus, so she made the most of her dress shopping experience. "I made appointments every weekend through July and August, visiting salons with a different friend each time," says the bride. "I wanted the experience to be stress-free and fun, and I wanted to try on as many dresses as possible to find out what I did and didn't like." She also knew there wasn't any pressure: "I had a trip planned with my mom in September, and I was certain we'd find my dress then." And she did! Caitlin fell in love with a simple ivory V-neck halter gown by Vera Wang, with a double strap at the neck and silk organza petals on the train. Instead of a veil, she finished the gown with a removable organza bow at the neck.
Caitlin's bouquet was full of desert inspiration, with white peonies alongside peach garden roses, all studded with sculptural succulents.
Panayioti wore a light gray suit to stand out against his groomsmen, who wore charcoal. He paired the suit with a berry-hued Burberry tie, which added an eye-catching pop of color and pattern.
The couple's ceremony took place on the property's lawn, with a petal-lined aisle flanked by white chairs and local palm trees and cacti in the background.
The stairway leading down to the ceremony, where Caitlin made her grand entrance, was decorated with curly willow, eucalyptus, soft pink peonies, ranunculus, and succulents. At the entrance to the aisle, two oversized lanterns were topped with peonies and garden roses.
Caitlin's father walked her down the aisle, then her parents gave her away to Panayioti. "The pastor who married us is a lifelong friend of my parents — he was the one to marry them on their wedding day!" says the bride. She and Panayioti wrote their own vows, choosing a word limit and an "I promise" theme to tie them together. "We ended our vows with lyrics from the chorus of our first dance song," Caitlin remembers.
Panayioti's groomsmen wore charcoal gray suits, while the bridesmaids donned shades of peach, mauve, and dusty rose. Caitlin's cousin, Jake, was the ring bearer, and was more than happy to ham it up with the wedding party!
The outdoor reception took place on the O'Donnell House's patio, which overlooks all of Palm Springs. Guests were seated at round tables topped with green thistle, protea, ranunculus, and votive candles.
Each place setting featured a blush napkin, gold charger, and printed menu. Dinner included a grilled port pear salad, grilled steak with mushrooms, and salmon filet with risotto. Guests sipped the couple's signature drinks, a French 75 for her and an Old Fashioned for him.
The wedding party sat at a bare head table, lit with lanterns and draped with a lace runner and the same garland used for the ceremony staircase — a totally gorgeous way to keep those floral costs under control!
Panayioti and Caitlin's three-tiered wedding cake was a stunner. The white fondant was brushed in gold, then the cake was topped with peonies, ranunculus, and succulents. Layers of vanilla butter pound cake were filled with strawberry and vanilla mousse.

Proofs of debt. made under a mistake of fact or law, may be amended or withdrawn. if no action has been based upon such proofs which cannot be recalled or compensated.
SAME-WITHDRAWAL of PROOFS, WHEN' ALLOWED-RETURN OF DIVIDEND.
But where· the trustee of a bankrupt was defending in England against a claim made by creditors upon a ccrtain fund as security for their demands, upon the ground that they were est.opped by having proved their claims here as unsecured, and also defended upon the merits, denying the creditors' alleged lien upon the fund, held. that the creditors' withdrawal of proofs should be allowed.9nly upon the return of dividends, with interest, the payment of the costs of this application, and of all the costs and counsel fees in the litigation in England, if the 'trustee elected to abandon the further defence of the case there, or, -if not, then upon payment of the trusteo'a costs up to this time.
Petition for Leave to Withdraw Proofs. W. W. McFarland, for petitioners. Abbott B1'othc'rs, for trustee. BROWN, D. J. This is a petition by Brown Bros. & Co. for leave to withdmw their proofs of debt heretofore made upon two bills of exchange drawn by Archibald Baxter & Co. upon Jones Bros., of London, at 60 days' sight,-the one dated August 5, 1875, for £2,500, payable to the order of Brown, Shipley & Co.; the 'other dated August 6, 1875, for £1,000, payable to the same payees,-which were drawn against the "account of cheese per Britannic, and lard per Greece;" which bills had been purchased by the petitioners on the day of their date. On the seventh day of August, 1875, Baxter & Co. failed, and made an assignment of their property in trust for their creditors.
any act to prejudice it, is, I think, clearly substantiated, not merely by the claims of the petitioners in the litigation in England, which has been all the time going on, but especially, also, from the fact that two other bills of exchange for about the same amounts, as to which the attorney knew the goods had been forwarded, were omitted from the proofs, and have never been presented in bankruptcy at all, although the claim to a lien on the goods as to those bills was attended by additional litigation here, growing out of the assertion of title to the goods by the original vendors of Baxter & Co. The proofs, therefore, must be regarded as being made under a pure mistake of fact on the part.of the attorney who prepared them, and mistake of mixed law and fact on the part of the petitioners. In such cases it has been the practice in courts of bankruptcy in this country to permit the error to be corrected when the estate has not been injuriously or when any action based thereupon can be recalled or compensated. In the case of Clark et Biningerj in this court, (5 N. B. R. ""255,) proofs were allowed to be amended nnder circumstances similar. In the case of Edward Hubbard, Jr., 1 Low. 190, (1 N. B. R. 679,) Lowell J., s a y s : "
.. When proof has been under a mistake of fact, or even of law, it be corrected, almost as a matter of course, if neither the bankrupt nor other creditors who have proved will be injured. And even where the rights of others will be affected. if the only effect is to restore all parties to the position they were in before the debt was proved, it would be proper to allow the withtlrawal if there had been a mistake and no want of diligence."
10 N. B.R. 82, Longyear, J., says: The court undoubtedly possesses the power, in its discretion, to allow proofs of debt to be amended, and in cases of mistake or ignorance, Whether of fact or oil law, will generally exercise that power in the absence of fraud, and When all parties can be placed in the same situation they would have been in jf the error bad not occurred, and where justice Beems to demand that it should be done." In re Brand, 8 N. B. B. 824; In re Jaycox, 8 N. B;R, 277; &x; parte Harwood, Crabbe, 496; Edwards v. Morgan, McClel. 551.
In the case of John F.
But where a creditor, by proof of his debt, has taken part in the meetings of creditors, and controlled the action of others in the choice of an assignee or trustee, or influenced the qUGstion of the bankrupt's discharge, he is held precluded from any subsequent change in his proofs. New Bedford, etc., v.Jt'a·ir Haven, etc., 9 Allen, 175, 180; Ex parte Solomon,l Glyn & J. 25; Stewart v. [sidor, 1 N, B. R. 485; In re Bloss, 4 N. B. R. 147.

Canucks 3 CAD 5 | Do more with less
Claude Julian is often able to give us detailed analyzes of some players. So far this season, he has had to comment again and again, for example, on the lead of two youngsters Nick Suzuki and Jake Evans.
Posted February 2, 2021 at 9:52 pm.
Updated at 23:41
Levranso clouds
Simon Oliver Lawrange
When you get to Josh Anderson, it's easier. Like Tuesday night, after the Canadians beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-3.
"He skates really well and has a really good shot when he's on the move. The other part, I've seen him tonight: He's not afraid to go to the net and when you go to the net, pucks find you."
Found, her washers! Anderson scored two more goals in the win. First, it is moving towards a tablet that was floating in blue paint. The second, by setting himself in the line of fire to drive away a puck disc sent by Brett Colak. Add to that the two "baseball" goals and you really get a player to score from a short distance.
Incidentally, Anderson could wake up Wednesday ahead in two of the National League's stats categories: equal strength goals, as well as those in 60-minute increments.
Portrait of Robert Skinner, Los Angeles Press
Second goal by Josh Anderson
His six goals so far are evenly matched; As of this writing, he shared a high point with Brooke Boozer, but the Edmonton Oilers Company has been busy destroying senators in Ottawa again. His goals of 3.04 in every 60 minutes earned him 1is being Circle rank.
But what hides behind this data is a reality that affects other Canadian attackers: Minutes are limited, because they are distributed fairly. Much has been said about the victims of the new Canadian depth. Philip Danault and Paul Byron are the first two names to come to the fore. Another is Artturi Lehkonen. Anderson's name should be added to this group.
Here it is at 13:51 hours average use time so far this season. He has also been fired from PowerPlay units since Corey Perry replaced Joel Jeremiah. He regained his place on Tuesday, in the absence of Alexander Romanov, but we understand that he is far in the hierarchy in this aspect of the game.
At Columbus, Anderson played 16 minutes in every game last year, despite running out of fuel. In his first full season, he averaged 18 minutes!
See also Team Blue Jackets would like to sign a long-term contract with Patrik Laine
For a player who won a 7-year contract in Montreal, valued at $ 5.5 million per season, this is an unexpected result.
"This is the coach's decision. We have depth, and it would be silly not to use it. I try to work hard everywhere."
We can add the example of Lehkonen, who diffuses crazy energy with every existence, especially when the time comes to disturb the numerical advantage of the competitors. The situation is that even if he didn't have such a limited role, he was rarely noticed much since his arrival in Montreal.
Thorn in the foot
We move in the middle of the third period, Tuesday. The Danault trilogy suffocates the opponent as we've seen so much in recent years. Ben Chiarot invites himself to the party, walks around the attack area and passes to Danault, who shoots one knee into the ice.
Thatcher Dimco succeeds in stopping. Danault falls on his stomach with the momentum of his shot. He hits the ice with his stick and says a few words that do not appear to be intended for a particular interlocutor. We can guess the vocabulary used. We also think the proverbial confidence is not there.
It's the same Danaolt who missed the chance to score on the cliff three times on Saturday, and it's the same Danaul who scored only three assists, and had no goals, ten games later.
Julian was asked about this trio before Tuesday's match. "I feel like we'll see more of that streak as the season progresses because they can play a little better, even if they don't play poorly."
All Danault indicators are poor. To change the minutes, let's look at the confrontations. Tuesday, Suzuki took 22, Evans, 18, Danault, 13. If there is one untouchable area, it is there. Suzuki ended the night 36% on the showdowns; To be sure, his success in this area was not often delegated.
Anderson and Lehkonen showed that reduced use time did not imply a decrease in performance. Julian must hope that Danault finds the same recipe for success as his team-mates. Because in a team that is showing a record 7-1-2, it is difficult to see the coach redeploying everyone's responsibilities just to revive a player and his hat-trick.

Advocates in action
Josh Anderson scored his first goal by snatching a return shot by Ben Shiarot. Then the second is via a disk letter sent by Brett Colak – a formula imitated through the association between Joel Edmundson and Tyler Toffoli. Last weekend, Claude Julian made it clear that his defenders were not responsible for the attack, but in support of it. And that's exactly what happened against Canucks. "They are doing a lot of work to find a way to get access to the network," said Tyler Toffoli. We had examples [mardi] Good evening with kind readings and patience. Julian, for his part, stressed that he wanted from his back "to limit the shots that will be blocked." He said, "When you shoot from the blue line, you have to make sure the disk can reach the net, if not the target for the sticks." I think they have done a good job in this aspect so far. "
And three for Allen
Jake Allen scored his third victory in four matches on Tuesday. Ironically, despite his 36 saves in 39 shots, we felt he was less in control than he was last Saturday against Calgary Flames, when he lost despite a flawless performance. "No matter how many shots I have to do my work," Allen summed up. Antoine Roussel, in particular, inherited two generous returns in the first and second stages; The first precedes a shot on the post, and the second ends with a goal. However, it was the final goal of the match, late in the third, that Allen wanted to see again, as Tanner Pearson did five times before scoring. "I thought I got a pinch, but it fell out of my glove. The New Brunswick goalkeeper indicated I was hoping to stop the players."
An unusual setback
Don't worry if you haven't seen Tyler Toffoli's second goal – he will frequently appear in the season's top goals over the next few months. In the second half, No. 73 found himself head-to-head with defender Jordi Benn. He totally knocked it out by bringing a puck towards him at his feet and then zipping it to his left before sending a backhand shot to goalkeeper Thatcher Demko straight from the guide. "Yes, that was an amazing goal," Toffoli said, smiling, slightly embarrassed, at a video conference. Jake Allen commented on how difficult it was to stop a back kick shot at goalkeepers. He said, "A lot of the men don't know where to shoot, they just want to hit the net." Disappointed by the loss, Demco said he would have to watch the footage several times to see if he could "do things differently".

'Confidence comes with action'
When the season kicks off like we did, it builds confidence. But men are smart enough to know that confidence comes with work. It was a good challenge, especially in the third period; The Canucks tightened things up, but we managed to stay in the game and find a way to win.

Help Explore The Moon
Through MoonMappers The Public Is Offered a Chance to be Part of NASA Lunar Science
"The MoonMappers citizen science project at CosmoQuest.org invites the public to become part of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's science team. Through this project, the public is invited to explore high-resolution lunar images and map out scientifically interesting features. MoonMappers was designed and programmed at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in collaboration with scientists from around this world. The focus of MoonMappers is two-fold: To determine the most effective way to map craters on the Moon, and to use those maps to define areas for follow-up study."
LOIRP LPSC Student Poster: New Lunar Crater Search Using LROC-NAC vs LOIRP Lunar Orbiter Images
Poster presented at the 42nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference by N. G. Moss, T. M. Harper, M. B. Motta, A. D. Epps
"While some candidate craters were observed that appeared in LROC data but not in Lunar Orbiter data, these were all very near the edge of discernable feature size and are almost certainly explained by various differences between the images (e.g. sun angle or viewing geometry). While our initial search did not find any discernable new cratering, we have shown that data from the original analog Lunar Orbiter tapes, as recovered by the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery project, possesses the characteristics necessary to discern new craters at reasonably small sizes. If the entire Lunar Orbiter data set was recovered in this manner it may be possible for future researchers to apply automated methods to detect changes with much better chances of success." More
NASA Invites Public to Take Virtual Walk On The Moon
More than 37 years after humans last walked on the moon, planetary scientists are inviting members of the public to return to the lunar surface as "virtual astronauts" to help answer important scientific questions. No spacesuit or rocket ship is required - all visitors need to do is go to www.moonzoo.org and be among the first to see the lunar surface in unprecedented detail. New high-resolution images, taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), offer exciting clues to unveil or reveal the history of the moon and our solar system.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- Notre Dame got goals from four different players, outstanding special teams work and solid goaltending from Jordan Pearce on the way to a 4-2 win in its CCHA opener against Bowling Green on Tuesday night. Mark Van Guilder (power-play goal), Garrett Regan, Evan Rankin and Erik Condra (short-handed goal) led the Notre Dame attack while Pearce made 18 saves, including 10 in the third period. Justin White and Ben Ryan each had two assists for the Irish. The Irish killed all five Bowling Green power-play chances, increasing its streak to 21 straight over the last four games. Bowling Green led 1-0 and 2-1 in the game, getting goals from Dan Sexton and Derek Whitmore. The victory improves Notre Dame to 3-2-0 overall and 1-0-0 in CCHA play while the Falcons go to 1-2-0 and 0-1-0 in league play. The Irish have now gone nine games (8-0-1) without a loss to Bowling Green, dating back to the 2004-05 season. "I thought we made some progress tonight," said head coach Jeff Jackson. "We played well in the second period when we started valuing the puck more." Bowling Green took the lead at the 14:51 mark of the first period, taking advantage of an Irish turnover. Todd McIlrath forced the puck loose in the left wing corner where Whitmore took control, sliding the puck to Sexton in the left wing circle and the freshman snapped a shot past Pearce to make it 1-0. With 3:47 left in the period, Notre Dame defenseman Luke Lucyk was hit from behind by Bowling Green's Kai Kantola, going head first into the boards and was down on the ice briefly. Kantola received a major penalty for hitting from behind and a game misconduct on the play. Lucyk would return in the second period and took a regular shift on defense. The Irish were able to capitalize on the five-minute power play at 17:43 on Van Guilder's fourth goal of the season. Defenseman Brock Sheahan moved the puck to Van Guilder on the left wing boards. The senior center moved across the face-off circle, looking to pass and instead whipped a shot past Falcon goaltender Jimmy Spratt. The goal tied the game at 1. Bowling Green took a 2-1 lead 1:50 into the second period on a goal by Whitmore. With a delayed penalty coming up to Notre Dame, Sexton carried the puck down the right side and slid it across to Whitmore on the left side. The Falcons' senior captain capped the 2-on-1 as he redirected the puck past Pearce for his third goal of the season. From there the Irish took over, out-shooting Bowling Green 18-3 in the second period. Notre Dame tied the score at 2 just over a minute later at 2:51 when Ryan carried the puck in front of the net and pulled Spratt to the right side with a deke. Ryan's shot was stopped but Regan crashed the crease and poked the loose puck home for his third goal of the season. Hard work and hustle by Notre Dame resulted in the third goal at 18:46. Freshman Robin Bergman carried the puck to the front of the net where the Bowling Green defense blocked it. White grabbed the loose disc and shoveled a shot towards the goal that Spratt stopped but couldn't control. Rankin poked away at the loose puck and managed to push it over the goal line for his first of the year and the eventual game winner.

4. Which among the following chemicals is used in Photography?
5. When Sulphur is heated with rubber, the process is commonly known as ?
Natural rubber becomes soft at high temperature (>335 K) and brittle at low temperatures (<283 k) and shows high water absorption capacity. It is soluble in non-polar solvents and is non-resistant to attack by oxidising agents. To improve upon these physical properties, a process of vulcanisation is carried out. This process consists of heating a mixture of raw rubber with sulphur and an appropriate additive at a temperature range between 373 K to 415 K. On vulcanisation, sulphur forms cross links at the reactive sites of double bonds and thus the rubber gets stiffened.
6. Which among the following is a common end product of Anaerobic Respiration?

Rainbows for All Children: Helping Kids Grieve and Grow
by Susan B. Noyes December 21, 2015
Next year alone, more than 65 million children in the United States will grieve the loss of or separation from a family member because of death, divorce, life-altering medical diagnosis, military deployment or incarceration. That's 83 percent of our population under the age of 18. Unfortunately, 90 percent of teachers have no training to help children handle this suffering, and they often have limited access to other support resources.
The stats are better in 10 northern Illinois counties though, thanks to the nonprofit Rainbows for All Children. Its mission is to be the "premier source of support for all youth as they navigate grief and heal from loss."
Rainbows was founded more than 32 years ago in the Chicago area by Suzy Yehl Marta, a divorced mother of three boys. She realized that her sons were hurting as much as she was from the divorce, but had fewer resources to help them cope. In 1983, three private schools piloted her Rainbows curriculum and volunteer training program.
Make It Better Managing Editor Brooke McDonald was an early participant in the program in 1991 at St. Isaac Jogues School in Hinsdale, following the death of her younger brother and her parents' divorce. "I was in third grade when my brother died. My classmates were aware of what happened, but there weren't opportunities for me to express my feelings in the classroom setting," McDonald says. "Rainbows connected me with other students dealing with similar challenges, providing us with a supportive space in which to share our experiences and grieve together."
Eventually, the program spread across northern Illinois and into other areas of the country, supporting countless other children and families. Francesca Edwardson was senior vice president and general counsel at United Airlines and mother to three sons when her husband was killed in a car accident in 2001. In the family's church there were six boys whose fathers had died within two years of each other. Eager to find an outlet for support and conversations in a religious context for her sons and the other boys, Edwardson funded the creation of an evening Rainbows program at the church.
"It really helped my kids after [her husband] died," says Edwardson. "And the moms all got together while the kids met, becoming an impromptu support network for each other."
In 2003, Yehl Marta published the book "Healing the Hurt, Restoring the Hope," which details the Rainbows approach to helping children deal with death, divorce and other crises.
Yehl Marta died of cancer in 2013 at age 67. Fortuitously, leadership of Rainbows passed to Lake Forest's Bob Thomas (pictured left), a former business executive and father to three sons, whose wife fought and lost her own battle to brain cancer.
Before her death, Thomas quit his job to care for his wife and children. Within only 2 1/2 years, his sons lost not only their mother, but also their aunt, two best friends and all of their grandparents. Thereafter, Thomas was determined to use his executive skills and precious time to make a greater difference for others.
"It's a joy to be working in the nonprofit world, after the for-profit world," Thomas declares. "Its not as hard of a transition as others think." He continues, "I strongly encourage individuals in the for-profit business world to make the transition when they can, because our skills are so very much needed."
The sooner the most effective and efficiently run nonprofits are able to scale up, the faster our world changes for the better. Thomas is on a mission to increase and improve support for children suffering as his own sons did — as quickly as possible. "My dream is to have Rainbows in all schools," he boldly states.
Thomas has wisely focused Rainbows' growth efforts online to accomplish this. "Our volunteer training has evolved from a weekend event to a robust, interactive online course that includes videos and assessment materials." This, of course, allows anyone in the world looking to help grieving youth find and use Rainbows. The online training is far less costly to deliver too.
Rainbows routinely receives phone and email requests like, "I just came home from work. My wife left me and the kids. What do I do?" The program ensures that trained volunteer facilitators are in place to help.
Significantly, Rainbows receives no government funding. But as schools can implement the program for only $200, it should not be difficult to grow. However, according to Thomas, awareness of the program and funding growth is hampered by what he calls the "yuck factor."
"We need funding. But we don't have the face of a sick child or photo of a cute dog to put on a poster," Thomas explains. He says many families who have been helped through a difficult time don't want to discuss this publicly afterward and reopen old wounds.
Rainbows finds new support by engaging other channels instead. For example, the organization just partnered with Northwestern students for a successful "Giving Tuesday" campaign. In the past year, its social network has grown from 147 to over 8,000.
Classic cars and auto races are providing a new and engaging arena for Rainbows' upcoming fundraising efforts. The organization is hosting a fundraiser at the Klairmont Kollection, a Chicago auto museum showcasing an impressive collection of over 300 stunning vehicles on Feb. 27, 2016 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Make It Better is proud to be the media sponsor of this event. Fundraising opportunities around this year's 100th Anniversary of the Indianapolis 500 are also in development.
"Since its inception, Rainbows has helped over 3 million children," Thomas proudly explains. "We're better poised than ever to be able to grow this success across the nation too."
