Tickets for "rockstar" particle physicist Prof. Brian Cox's Auckland show went on sale this week. With seats priced from $90 to $215, are big popular science shows fostering elitism?
New Zealand has been blessed by visits from four big names in science this year already, and is set to play host to a fifth in November. It started in February with an Auckland show from my personal hero, David Attenborough. Then, we had theoretical physicist and mathematician, Brian Greene also speaking in Auckland, in March. Conservation advocate and primatologist Jane Goodall toured the country in June, presenting shows in four major cities; Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin.
Dr Goodall was closely followed by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who blew through Auckland and Christchurch with his "cosmic perspective" tour in July. As we hurtle through the second half of the year, people are getting excited about Brian Cox's "evening of scientific phenomena" show in Auckland in November. Well, those who can afford it are. The thing these events have in common is a hefty price point, not least Prof. Cox.
A quick comparison of ticket prices across these events shows that seeing uber famous scientists is no small financial undertaking. For comparison, consider ticket prices for Lorde's upcoming tour, or a ticket to see the All Black's play Australia.
Essentially, for all but the lowest price tickets, it's cheaper to see the All Blacks than to see David Attenborough, Brian Cox or Neil deGrasse Tyson. Especially for families. The lack of student or child tickets for David Attenborough and Prof. Cox's show means a family of four would have to pay at least $380/$360 to see these lectures respectively. Not great if you're trying to get the kids into science. And that's before all the "admin" fees charged by the ticketing company.
One could argue that the fact that people are prepared to pay big ticket prices to see scientists is a good thing. People are as excited about science as they are about sports or actual rockstars! And yes, it should be more expensive to see Jane Goodall than Lorde. Goodall's career spans decades while Lorde only broke onto the music scene relatively recently.
This is all arguably true, but science is already seen as stuffy and elitist. It can't afford to be even more so. Many of us are busy trying to connect with the general public. We want to cast off notions of aloof superiority and white coats. Rockstar scientist also bust out of such stereotypes, but most kiwis can't afford to see them do it. Surely this leaves the audience at one of these shows consisting mainly of relatively wealthy and relatively well-educated folk who are already science fans? There's nothing wrong with these people enjoying these shows, but it leaves an important audience out in the cold.
All the people mentioned above are extremely clever scientists, and gifted communicators. They have presumably worked very hard to get to the point where they can charge this much for lectures. And it's unlikely they're the ones setting the prices – the promoters and organisers will figure all that out. Some of them may even be putting ticket profits back into conservation or education initiatives. While I can't imagine paying $329 to meet anyone, ever (especially not for 45 mins with 99 other people), this obviously appeals to some people. But there's no denying that a starting price point of around $80-90 will put off those who are sci-curious as opposed to fully fledged science fans.
Brian Cox or Beauden Barrett? Let your wallet decide.
What these high prices highlight extremely well is the value of all the free science engagement available in New Zealand. Groups like Allan Wilson at Otago, and the Royal Society of New Zealand, do a great job organising free public science lectures across multiple cities in New Zealand. Over the past few years, these groups (and others) have brought leading scientists and science presenters from all over the world to talk to New Zealanders about their work, and tickets are almost always free (or very low cost). Scientific conference organisers have also caught on. The recent Genetics Society of Australasia meeting in Dunedin in July had a free public talk from a visiting scientist every evening.
It is wonderful that superstar scientists are making the trip to New Zealand. It would be even more wonderful to see them allocate more seats for concessions (or any, in the case of Prof. Cox and, I'm sad to say, Sir David) and offer family friendly prices. In the meantime, we should be getting the word out to encourage as wide and diverse a range of kiwis as possible to make the most of all the amazing free science events that are already here.
I think this article makes some interesting points but fails with others (such as comparison not be like for like).
From the perspective of Dr Goodall and JGINZ – It costs a good deal to undertake a tour of NZ and put these large scale events on. JGINZ made sure to undertake other events with Jane that allowed for teachers and students to attend for free and hear from Jane and about our NZ based Roots & Shoots programme.
It may interest New Zealanders to know that Dr Goodall did not take a cent away with her – All money from the tour (after costs) have been retained to allow for the work of JGINZ to be undertaken (and none of us have salaries).
It is perplexing that this this debate is not had over hundreds spend to see Madonna, Bieber, Oprah etc. Dr Goodall has had an extraordinary life and continues to have so much to offer in terms of guidance and inspiration – For folks looking for that they also get to support her/our work.
Would have been good to utilise some of this in a comparison, if you felt the need to have one. We thank those who support Dr Goodall and our work.
Thanks for reading and entering the discussion. To be clear, the piece is in no way intended as an attack on Jane (or the other scientists), and certainly is not intended to cast doubt on the excellent work carried out by her foundation. I do make the point in the piece that I don't know where the ticket money is going and that it could well be going into conservation, which seems to be the case for Jane's shows given what you've written. The main point is that, regardless of where the money is going, the price point for these shows is too high for many people. Great to know that Jane was doing engagement outside of the talks – it sets a great example.
So I would suggest that those reluctant to pay for the superstars look around their region to find out what is happening and attend some of the talks, discussions or events. They are usually led by experts in their field who know how to talk to a lay audience. The biggest advantage when compared to the super-stars is that there is plenty of time for questions. In fact the best of these from a lay point of view is a series that I started called cafe scientifique where the format is 10-15 minutes of an expert giving the background to a subject followed by about an hour of questions and discussion.
Is there any correlation between the celebrity status of these rock star scientists and their actual contribution to science?
The comparison of science events with the All Blacks and Lorde is not very scientific.
As of now science do not have the popularity and massive audiences of sport or music with which to amortize costs. If scientists could sell-out Eden Park or Forsyth Barr Stadium with it's 30,000 seats, rather than the 2,000 seat venues we are using at the moment, the prices would be at or below the ticket prices of Lorde and the All Blacks.
With Sir David Attenborough and Prof Brian Cox, whom Lateral Events toured/are touring for the first time in New Zealand this year, a great deal of focus has been given to investing in the latest technology and live event techniques to communicate science in the best way possible. We are breaking new ground here in communicating science. We think it's important to do that.
Our intent is not to reach as many people as cheaply as possible, but to communicate science in the best way we can and really lift the bar.
We were so pleased that Sir David and Brian both sold out so quickly in Auckland. We feel sure Brian will sell out soon in Wellington, but our biggest regret is that we were unable to find a suitable venue in Christchurch. We'll be in all three cities on the next tour and as the shows get bigger, they will also get cheaper.

Euroleague : ウィキペディア英語版
The Turkish Airlines Euroleague, commonly known as the Euroleague, is the highest level tier and most important professional club basketball competition in Europe, with teams from up to 18 different countries, members of FIBA Europe. For sponsorship reasons, for five seasons starting with 2010–11, it is named the Turkish Airlines Euroleague.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=– Euroleague, Turkish Airlines sign strategic partnership deal )〕 The competition is controlled by the privately held Euroleague Basketball Company, and features clubs that come from a Europe-wide consortium of leading professional basketball leagues, called ULEB. During the season, the Euroleague is broadcast on television in 199 countries and territories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Euroleague Basketball, Televisión Española (TVE) reach agreement in principle to broadcast Real Madrid's Turkish Airlines Euroleague games )〕 It can be seen by up to 245 million (800 million via satellite) households weekly in China.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=– CSPN China to broadcast Turkish Airlines Euroleague )〕 It is also televised in the United States and Canada on NBA TV and available online through ESPN3. The Euroleague Final Four is broadcast on television in 201 countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Television coverage set to break Final Four records )〕
(詳細はFIBA and it operated under its umbrella from 1958 until the summer of 2000, concluding with the 1999–00 season. That was when Euroleague Basketball Company was created.
FIBA had never trademarked the "Euroleague" name, even though it had used that name for the competition since 1996. Euroleague Basketball simply appropriated the name, and since FIBA had no legal recourse to do anything about it, it was forced to find a new name for its championship series. Thus, the following 2000–2001 season started with 2 separate top European professional club basketball competitions: the FIBA SuproLeague (previously known as the FIBA Euroleague) and the brand new Euroleague 2000–01 season.
The rift in European professional club basketball initially showed no signs of letting up. Top clubs were also split between the two leagues: Panathinaikos, Maccabi Tel Aviv, CSKA Moscow and Efes Pilsen stayed with FIBA, while Olympiacos, Kinder Bologna, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Baskonia and Benetton Treviso joined Euroleague Basketball.
In May 2001, Europe had two continental champions, Maccabi of the FIBA SuproLeague and Kinder Bologna of the Euroleague. The leaders of both organizations realized the need to come up with a unified competition. Although only a year old, Euroleague Basketball negotiated from a position of strength and dictated proceedings. FIBA essentially had no choice but to agree to Euroleague Basketball's terms. As a result, European club competition was fully integrated under Euroleague Basketball's umbrella and teams that competed in the FIBA SuproLeague during the 2000–01 season joined it as well.
In essence, the authority in European professional basketball was divided over club-country lines. FIBA stayed in charge of national team competitions (like the FIBA EuroBasket, the FIBA World Cup, and the Summer Olympics), while Euroleague Basketball took over the European professional club competitions. From that point on, FIBA's Korać Cup and Saporta Cup competitions lasted only one more season before folding, which was when Euroleague Basketball launched the ULEB Cup, now known as the Eurocup.

The Kilung Foundation brings humanitarian aid to Dzachuka in east Tibet while answering the call for Buddhist teachings throughout the world. The vision of Kilung Jigme Rinpoche has been to help rebuild and strengthen Kilung community through locally initiated projects, with the original focus of restoring the Kilung Monastery. In April, 2016, a fire swept through the Kilung Shedra destroying it entirely.
Revitalization of both secular and sacred aspects of life has been a guiding principle because in Tibet the vitality of each supports the flourishing of the other. Read about the progress of our projects on our news feed here.
Education is a primary focus of the work of the Kilung Foundation. The Kilung Children's School and the Kilung Shedra are essential to providing Tibetan education to the community and to furthering Tibetan Buddhist higher education.
The reconstruction of the shedra is an enormous undertaking. Funds are urgently needed so that rebuilding can begin in the spring of 2018.
As part of the rebuilding efforts, a new well has been installed, and running water is available to the community for the first time. A consortium of solar energy and tech companies collaborated to install solar panels to power the pump and also keep the pipes heated in the freezing winter temperatures.
As a way to preserve the fabric of the nomad culture, the Kilung Foundation helped launch the Dzachuka Nomad Yogurt Project. Eleven nomadic families joined together to create a collective with a herd of 50 yaks, milking and making yogurt daily. This project has been so successful it was awarded a major government grant to expand the yak herd, as well as refrigeration and production capacity, storage containers and marketing.
Kilung Monastery monks offer prayers and pujas for various kinds of life needs: prayers for healing, for obstacles, and Tibetan practices for the dead. These practices are done daily at the monastery for local community, with increasing numbers of requests internationally.
From around the world, anyone can request that the life of an animal be saved through Kilung Monastery's efforts. Yaks, sheep, or goats are purchased from slaughter, or less dramatically, through an arrangement with a family who promises not to kill the animal for life.
Dzachuka is renowned for many enlightened Buddhist masters over the last thousand years, and religious activity continues to be practiced as a central part of life. The Tibetan form of Buddhism, as vast as the Tibetan sky, has been sustained by this indigenous culture through these centuries. It's a richly symbiotic relationship that has, in turn, nourished the people, the animals, and the land of Dzachuka.
The Kilung Foundation accomplishes compassionate and practical actions that benefit the land, animals, and people of Dzachuka and their spiritual and cultural traditions.

HairMax's Lasercombs are clinically researched and FDA cleared for both women and men. The company even states that over 90% of their customers encounter "noticeable benefits" with continued use.
This Pininfarina-designed lasercomb features 82 medical grade lasers that provide maximum light to your follicles, together with a patented hair parting teeth system that helps you fulfill desired results. In actuality, with LaserBand 82, HairMax asserts your treatments can last as little as 90 seconds, three times every week.
As its name implies, LaserBand 41 boasts 41 medical-grade lasers (no LEDs) to stimulate hair follicles at the cellular level, to boost hair growth, and counteract hair thinning. And with its Flex-fit band design, it should be comfortable for most head shapes and sizes.
The HairMax Laser Combs are made for men and women going through androgenetic alopecia. This is a fancy word for hereditary hair loss. Treatment is self-administered. The laser comb is combed through the hair 3 times per week for around 15 minutes. Side benefit: your arms will grow bigger after 45 minutes of weekly combing. Pass the comb over the scalp area that's going through the miniaturization process. Generally, this reverses the thinning process. Rather than hair getting finer and ultimately falling out completely, they will begin to get denser. This will provide you with more scalp coverage and a healthier looking head of hair.
If you wish to talk about the technical terminology, this biological process is called PhotoBioStimulation. This raises adenosine three phosphate (ATP) and keratin production. Boosting cellular activity and metabolism, these two coenzymes are in charge of intracellular energy transfer as well as being known for stimulating living cells such as the hair follicle cells.
The other function which these low-level laser treatments are liable for is increased blood flow. Hair follicles require numerous nutrients to grow healthy and strong. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) gets in the way of the delivery system. The laser comb aids to make sure nutrients are delivered more effectively to hair follicles and also removes said DHT from the scalp.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a regulatory body whose major job is to protect consumers from advertising stunts and dangerous products. They supervise matters like food safety laws and dietary supplements. They have a meticulous and comprehensive application and testing process that businesses must submit to that in part, if successful, can validate their products claims.
As we mentioned, the HairMax Laser Comb is the only hair loss treatment machine approved by the FDA. It's one of the three hair loss treatment items given FDA approval as clinically proven hair loss treatment methods. The other two treatments granted approval are a topical product by the name of Minoxidil (Rogaine) and an orally administered product called Propecia.
We'll talk about a little history on how HairMax's submission to the FDA has been approved. Lexington International LLC conducted a research study in the United States. This clinical study was done in four different locations. In the end, this research study discovered that 93 percent of participants using the HairMax Laser Comb had a decrease in the number of terminal hairs. That means these participants who were aged 30 to 60 increased the number of thick hairs. This increase was an average of approximately 19 hairs/cm over a six month interval. So for each square centimeter of scalp, there was an extra 19 hairs in participants that used the laser comb.
For Lasercombs, Hairmax offers a 3 Pay installment plan to help cover the costs. If you purchased a HairMax laser device using the 3 monthly payments option, you're on a multi-pay billing program. Multi-pay is only available to customers ordering directly from Lexington International using a credit card, and discount codes along with other promotional offers might not be applied to these orders. A 10 percent fee is added to the then shown purchase price while using the multi-pay alternative to purchase a laser device.
Payments automatically post to the credit card used on the order around every 30 days, with the first payment posting on the date of the order. You do not need to get in touch with Lexington International or manually send payments. Funds have to be available on the credit card for every month.
Orders are processed within 1-2 business days of order placement and are sent with UPS, FedEx or USPS. Overnight orders shipped to a PO Box may take up to 2 business days to be delivered. International orders ship through UPS Worldwide Expedited or FedEx International Economy service. For orders carrying HairMax devices, tracking numbers are given through e-mail after shipment.
Orders shipped internationally may need duties or additional fees to be paid in your country for importation. Please be aware that these charges are assessed as part of the import process and therefore are not charges coming from Lexington International.
When setting an order for delivery outside the USA, please be aware that the international shipping charge that is displayed on your Order Summary DOESN'T cover Local Taxes, VAT and/or Duty that's assessed in the country your order will be sent to. Such Local Taxes, VAT and/or Duty should be given AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY.
HairMax wants you to be totally satisfied with the HairMax laser device, so HairMax provides a money back guarantee for orders placed directly with Lexington International: HairMax laser devices can be returned within 20 weeks for a refund, minus a 20% restocking fee on the whole purchase price. (Please be aware that, if you are purchasing a HairMax laser device by means of a payment plan, the 20% restocking fee will be determined on the full purchase price value of the laser device, rather than on any individual payment that you might have made prior to returning the HairMax laser device with our money back guarantee.) This money back guarantee is effective from the date of shipping. You'll be asked to get a Return Merchandise Authorization and pay for the return shipping costs and the appropriate restocking fee (stated above). Please be mindful that only orders placed directly through Lexington International are eligible for the money back guarantee. Nonetheless, more than 90% of HairMax's users do see recognizable benefits with continuing HairMax use, therefore, the customer will not really be using this.
All HairMax laser devices purchased through Lexington International or from an authorized distributor includes a 2-year factory warranty against defects in workmanship or materials from Lexington International, LLC. Lexington may lengthen this warranty period under express conditions. For complete warranty information, please refer to the user manual (included in the packaging materials of the laser device).
To obtain warranty service, you have to send the device freight paid, in either its original packaging or packaging supplying an equal level of protection, together with your address and name.
Cost effective: Cost effectiveness is one of the added benefits with laser combs, compared surgical methods. With hair transplant surgery, you might require a number of sessions with the surgeon that will cost a lot of cash. To the contrary, a laser comb is a one-time investment that could be used only when it must be used.
Easy usage: The laser combs are as easy as combing your hair. You need to simply switch it on and comb it through your head.

NH veterans group wants to hand out 1,000 winter survival kits to homeless vets

A New Hampshire-based organization founded by a formerly homeless veteran is running its largest-ever campaign in hopes of providing winter survival kits for 1,000 homeless veterans.
Dysfunctional Veterans (DV), an organization devoted to fostering a veteran community and supporting veterans in need, is on a mission to raise the funds for 1,000 winter survival kits before Veterans Day.
"Veterans don't deserve to live like this. We want to help 1,000 homeless veterans get through the harsh winter with the necessities to stay warm. 820+ winter survival bags have been pledged so far. DV6 will travel to several cities in November/December to give the survival bags to homeless vets," DV said in a Facebook post.
Founded by former homeless Army veteran Mike Rivers, DV describes themselves as "a brotherhood and sisterhood of veterans rooted in sarcasms and the things that remind us we are not alone," according to their Facebook page.
DV is a committed supporter of the veteran community and related causes. They also help veterans through a farm environment at the DV Farm, which offers a support structure for veterans as they overcome challenges such as homelessness and addiction.
Rivers' own experience with homelessness inspired him to start the campaign for the homeless kits this year.
"I was living on the streets homeless in Boston, from doorways to subway tunnels. It was pretty rough," Rivers recently told American Military News.
"We wanted to help people in a practical way," he said, adding that the winter survival kit contains "practical stuff they can use that they don't necessarily have access to or the money for."
Contributions can be made on DV's online store, where those interested can pledge $50 for a full kit, $25 for a half kit, or $12.50 for a quarter kit.
Each kit contains a sweatshirt, blanket, hat, gloves, thermal socks, underwear, hand warmer packs, hygiene kit, poncho, flashlight and assorted snacks.

"We want to give the most people the most things we know most of them will keep," Rivers said.
The items are designed to be used by men or women – and kits designed with female-specific items will also be handed out. The items are also lightweight and easy to carry around.
Rivers and his team will pass out the kits in December, starting in the Boston metro area. They are in the process of getting volunteers on board to pass out the kits and cover more areas of the city.
He also plans to connect with other nonprofits in the area, such as the Pine Street Inn and the Court Street Shelter, to seek advice on helping the homeless veteran population, and learning of other problems they may be facing.
The kits aren't the only thing DV will be handing out to the homeless veterans.
"If they're interested in coming off the street, we'll have a list of resources and advice on what they can do," Rivers said.
"DV wants to help homeless veterans across America stay warm this winter. Please help us reach our goal of supplying vets on the streets with 1,000 winter survival bags. You can pledge as little as 1/4 a bag or multiple bags," the kit's description reads.
"The number of homeless veterans is on the rise. In 2017, the number ticked up for the first time in seven years to 40,000. Many of these homeless vets live in areas affected by extreme winters, with sub-freezing temperatures and feet of snow," the description noted.
Approximately 40,000 veterans are homeless, while another 1.4 million veterans are at risk of homelessness "due to poverty, lack of support networks, and dismal living conditions in overcrowded substandard housing," said the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, citing U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates.
Rivers hopes to expand the campaign if it garners enough support.
"We've received positive response from as far out west as Minnesota and Milwaukee asking me to come there," he said. "We're going to start off here and see how it goes."
"If this is successful and I can get the manpower and volunteers, I don't see why we can't expand to other cities," he added.
This article was edited to reflect that the organization is raising the funds for 1,000 homeless survival kits before Veterans Day and will distribute them in December.

. Written by Stanford law professor Ralph Richard Banks, the book makes the case that the lack of Blacks getting married in America is a negative in society, and how things could get better if more people would marry outside their race. Many Americans, as you might imagine, are outraged.
We've told you before that interracial dating might be beneficial to society. African-Americans marrying Asians for instance is a great opportunity to share cultures, education techniques, child-rearing tips and many other things. Banks' general point isn't new or unique, and in the appropriate context, it's not very controversial either. The problem is in his conclusion.
Based on early reviews of Is Marriage for White People?, Banks' thesis appears to be that Black women, who tend to be disproportionately single in the United States, should simply marry interracially rather than wait for Black men who are more often in trouble with the law and undereducated. Obviously, the premise rubbed a lot of people the wrong way—especially the Black women at whom it was directed.
It all sounds a bit condescending, especially when Banks uses phrases like "marry out" to describe what African-American women should do, as if Black people are stuck in this horrible African-American community. It's fair enough to make the point that there are lots of problems with dating and marriage in Black society, and that things would be better if we were to work through those problems. But I'm not sure how wise it is tell African-Americans that the key is to run away from their peers.

CareLink Personal software support for your MiniMed system.
CareLink™ Personal software enables you to download your diabetes devices and see historical data that has been collected in the form of graphs, charts and reports. These reports can help you to understand the effects of insulin dosage, eating habits, exercise routine, and medication on your glucose levels and are the key to improving your diabetes control. Seeing this information in chart, graph, and table formats allows you to better identify patterns and problems that will help you work out the root cause of your low and high blood glucose levels.
How much does CareLink™ Personal software cost?
CareLink Personal software is free of charge. All you need is Internet access and a CareLink connectivity device (CareLink USB or blood glucose meter). Please contact us on 1800 209 6777 for more information on how to obtain the CareLink connectivity device.
What are the Supported Systems?
Note: For Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10, see also Required plug-ins and drivers for Windows users.
Note: On Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, from the Start screen, click the Desktop tile and make sure you are viewing the desktop before you open your browser.
Note: At the time of this publication, the system does not support the Microsoft Edge browser or Google Chrome.
- Oracle® Java™ Plug-in – the system requires Java to upload data to our servers and is designed to be compatible with the latest version of Java. The system guides you to the appropriate installation steps if Java is not already installed.
Which blood glucose meters are currently supported by CareLink™ Personal software?
- The 640G pump is compatible with the Bayer Next Link 2.4 meter, whilst the Paradigm Veo pump is compatible with the Bayer Next Link meter and white Carelink USB. It is preferable to use the meters for uploading data as the meters are USB port 2.0 and 3.0 compatible whereas the white Carelink USB is only USB port 1.0 and 2.0 compatible, which may cause problems on newer computers.
- The pumps communicate via radio frequency to their respective linked meter/USB, which then uploads the pump (and continuous glucose monitoring data, if available) onto our servers via Java software.
- Check to see whether you currently have Java installed on your computer and uninstall old versions before trying to download a new one.

CareLink Personal can be used with a variety of insulin pumps and BG meters.
Uploading a Linked BG Meter: If you have a MiniMed System with a linked meter, you only need to upload the data in your insulin pump. Remember, the meter data stored in the pump will be uploaded at the same time as the pump data.
Uploading a Non-linked BG Meter: If you have multiple devices, such as an insulin pump with a non-linked meter, each device must be uploaded separately. To upload data from your BG meter, use the cable and install the drivers provided by that meter company. Uploading non-linked meters in addition to your pump may cause you to have duplicate data.
Note: If you upload a Bayer CONTOUR® USB meter, no cable is necessary. However, the system may need to install a software driver for it. The first time you upload, follow the onscreen instructions after selecting this device during the upload process.
Medtronic is committed to ensuring that all your personal information is kept private and protected. The CareLink system uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), a data encryption technology similar to the online bank standard, to ensure that data is unreadable during the transfer.

Understanding freelance interpreters: Sisyphus myth or an opportunity for bonding?
Getting people to understand interpreting is something I do often when quoting an event, with both novice and veteran contractors. Yet, for a long time, I admit I felt a bit frustrated. I felt that explaining and defending my practices as a freelance interpreter closely resembled the task of Sisyphus. The myth of Sisyphus, belonging to Greek mythology, results from the posthumous punishment of Sisyphus for treason to the gods. In the land of the dead, he was forced to push a rock to the top of the mountain, from where it would roll back to the starting point. In the past, I used to feel that explaining my best practice would never really end.
Result: Approved budget and scheduled event.
Result: approved budget, scheduled event and customer loyalty that contracted services in 2018 and this year.
4. Is there no difference in the rate for hiring 2 or 6 hours of work?
Result: approved budget, scheduled event and customer loyalty that contracted services in 2019.
In conclusion, when business practices are discussed, it is an opportunity to improve the quality of your communication with your customers. It is particularly helpful in strengthening your professional ties with them.
All of the above customer arguments were helpful in changing my approach. You can do it too. Being able to provide the customer with a better understanding of the work and practices of interpreters will no longer be a Sisyphus task but an opportunity to bond with your customers.

Capo di tutt'i capi or capo dei capi, often referred to as the Godfather in English, is Italian for "boss of all bosses" or "boss of bosses". It is a phrase used mainly by the media, public and the law enforcement community to indicate a supremely powerful crime boss in the Sicilian or American Mafia who holds great influence over the whole organization.
The title was introduced to the U.S. public by the Kefauver Commission (1950). It has seldom been given to specific bosses because it could create tension between different factions (otherwise known as families) within the Mafia. Typically the title is awarded de facto to the boss of the most powerful Mafia family.
American Mafia
The word was applied by mobsters to Giuseppe Morello around 1900, according to Nick Gentile. Bosses Joe Masseria (1928–1931) and Salvatore Maranzano (1931) used the title as part of their efforts to centralize control of the Mafia under themselves. When Maranzano won the Castellammarese War, he set himself up as boss of all bosses and ordered every Mafia family to pay him tribute. This provoked a rebellious reaction which led to him being murdered. Lucky Luciano then created The Commission in 1931 as an alternative.

A big, big, BIG thank you to everyone who joined us to support the Blanket Drive! This time of year is difficult for those on the street and so sharing your warmth in the form of blankets, jackets, sleeping bags is very much appreciated. We are SO grateful! Yesterday was our last day for pick up of any winter items that you no longer have use for, please pm me if you have something you would like to donate.
Additional Thanks to our beautiful community, who help us purchase 240 pairs of new socks! Last year, we helped deliver 50 bags of warm clothing/sleeping bags and noticed that items like new socks were much needed. So this year, we sponsored a gofundme page to raise funds for new socks. Thank you to all our friends and family who helped in so many ways.

Avanthika Ramesh, a high school senior at Milton High School in Milton, Georgia and the 2016-2017 Virtual Business Scholarship winner from Knowledge Matters, is already running her own business while still in high school.
Avanthika started an academic tutoring business to tutor students from kindergarten - 12th grade in a wide variety of subject areas.
But Avanthika's tutoring business isn't just marketed via word-of-mouth between parents. Avanthika built a fully-functioning, interactive websites that includes a chat tool.
"I get a notification if someone is browsing my website. I learned to be proactive in communicating with my potential customers,"Avanthika said.
In the fall of 2017, Avanthika will start college at University of California, Berkeley where she'll be the founding class of the college's Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology (M.E.T) program. Avanthika will be aided by the $2,000 annual Virtual Business Scholarship. Before college begins for her in the fall, Avanthika plans to spend the summer continuing to run her tutoring company while also interning at Digital Scientists, a mobile and web design firm in Georgia.
Avanthika has also been actively involved in her school's Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter for the past four years, and she's currently serving as the chapter's Vice President.
In addition to competing in FBLA events where she learned how to present on business topics in front of a large crowd, Avanthika has overseen the work of all committees and managed assignments and lead community service efforts. She also used an online platform to design T-Shirts, created an online voting poll, and assisted in the creation of a promotional video for a community service effort.
In addition to her interest in business, Avanthika's knowledge is grounded in science and technology too. She published a Multivariable Calculus book for college-level Calculus students, and she used the Apple iBook Author software to create the eBook.
Given her success to date and her selection as 2016-2017 Virtual Business Scholarship winner, Avanthika has one word of advice for other students - organization. She's figured this out from her own success, as well as tutoring many students.
"Organization is a big thing many students are lacking. If they're not organized, they can't understand the material," she said.

Iran: Rights Lawyer, Amir Salar Davoudi, is sentenced to 30 years in prison
Home//News Articles//Iran: Rights Lawyer, Amir Salar Davoudi, is sentenced to 30 years in prison
The wife of Amir Salar Davoudi confirmed that he was sentenced to 30 years in prison of which the highest penalty is 15 years imprisonment for the charge of "establishing a channel in the Telegram app". Davoudi has been detained since November 2018 on the charges of "insulting officials", "propaganda against the state", "cooperating with enemy states through interviewing with foreign television channel", and "forming a group to overthrow the state". Tannaz Kolahchian, Davoudi's wife, wrote on her personal page that he has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for several charges at the Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court. He has decided not to appeal this sentence.
Davoudi—a 27-year-old lawyer and civil rights activist who has been retained as counsel by several detainees held on politically motivated charges in Iran was arrested by the intelligence and judiciary's security agents in his office on 20 November, 2018. The security agents also searched Davoudi's home and office and took away some of his personal belongings. He had been detained several times and had been warned not to inform the public about his clients' conditions and circumstances. The second session of his trial was held on 4 May, 2018 at the Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court.
In less than a year, Amir salar Davoudi has become the third known human rights and political prisoners defence attorney to be sent to prison in Iran for his peaceful activities. Prominent imprisoned defence attorneys Nasrin Sotoudeh and Mohammad Najafi is currently serving a three-year prison sentence and facing a total of 19 years behind bars.
His wife Tannaz Kolahchian tweeted that Davoudi had been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the content of his social media posts, 15 years of which he must serve according to Article 134 of the country's Islamic Penal Code (subject to appeal). Kolahchian also stated that her husband has "decided not to object to the verdict." She did not elaborate as to why.
However, Prominent imprisoned defence attorney Nasrin Sotoudeh, whose imprisonment made international headlines, stated in March 2019 that she would not appeal her own lengthy prison sentence in protest against Iran's justice system.
Davoudi's sentence is another example of the judiciary and security establishment's egregious assault on the legal profession and due process rights in Iran.

Raging Bull Smashes Into Terrified Family's Car (Video)
Sheena Vasani
A clip of a bull smashing into a family's car during a Spanish bull festival has shocked many worldwide (video below).
In the video, the bull runs toward a black SUV and nearly flips it on its side as its terrified passengers try to take cover.
The bull uses just one horn to tilt the car nearly all the way over, causing it to move violently up and down. Liquid pours from the car's engine.
After about 20 seconds, the bull tires of the car and turns his attention to the revelers on the street, who had been egging the bull to chase them.
It's not clear if anybody was injured, the Daily Mail reports.
While many may be scared by the incident, experts say this is not typical bull behavior.
"They may look ferocious, but they are shy and nervous," said a chief stableman. "If you were to walk into their pasture, they would probably run away, not charge at you."
For many, the scene is reminiscent of other bull attacks, some of which have sparked debate over whether bullfighting and bull running should continue.
In July, 29-year-old Spanish bullfighter Victor Barrio was killed by a bull. He was the first matador to die from a bull attack in 30 years.
While many in Spain mourned his death, with even government officials paying tribute, the incident sparked controversy worldwide.
Many viewed the man as a hero, while others -- who believe bullfighting is a barbaric sport -- think otherwise.
"Leaving aside the hundreds of bulls slaughtered each year, this so-called sport surely isn't worth the loss of a human life," wrote David Jones in an opinion article for the Daily Mail.
Also in July, a man in Xico, Mexico, ended up unconscious after a bull attacked him.
While teasing a bull in front of him, the man did not realize another one was right behind him.
The bull flipped the man 10 feet into the air, and leaving him unconscious in the street, before more bulls ran to attack.
He was severely injured, but survived the attack, reports Daily Mail.

City Crimes; Or, Life in New York and Boston is a 1849 novel by George Thompson, writing under the penname of "Greenhorn". The novel was written for the working class and meant to give a shock to its readers  through its use of graphic violence among several characters and sexual promiscuity, specifically among women. It is considered by critics to fall within several genres such as sensational literature and urban gothic and to have laid the groundwork for the city mysteries genre.

Background
Sensational urban stories such as City Crimes were extremely popular in the 1840s and 1850s, which is around when slave narratives gained traction in the public sphere. Some parts of City Crimes borrow from these slave narratives, such as Narrative of The Life of Henry Box Brown. Another contemporary genre was the domestic novel, a sort of antithesis to the more sensational novels such as City Crimes. Where domestic novels avoided topics such as the body and sexuality altogether, sensational novels strove to deliver both in a way as gripping as possible to the audience. They tended to be concerned with greed and virtue, often intertwined with sexuality (a trend which City Crimes follows), where men and women alike are cautioned to avoid or repress their sexual impulses. Sensationalist books like City Crimes tended to be considered as lesser than other types of literature, and as such sold as cheap books for travelers. They were written to appeal to a masculine audience, specifically those in cities, and books like City Crimes are seen as a reaction both to domestic novels and to the rise of urban life.

Characters and plot
Though the narrator generally follows the protagonist Frank Sydney, it bounces around between characters. It tends to show the city in very close-up and claustrophobic ways, as opposed to broadly, and favors individual experience over crowd experiences. The reader follows the narrator as they reveal to the reader the dark underbelly of life in the city. It features several characters at odds with one another, chief among them being Frank Sydney and The Dead Man.

Main characters

Frank Sydney
Frank Sydney is the protagonist of the story. He is engaged to Julia Fairfield, and has an affair with Maria Archer during this time. Some of his exploits include thwarting robbers intending to steal from him and helping to rehabilitate other characters and turn them away from crime. Early on, he's a rich man who abandons his life to help people, but is quickly whisked into the crime-ridden city and finds himself the victim of extreme violence. In the course of this he stumbles into several perilous situations, including facing imprisonment and torture by The Dead Man. He's often reliant on others to help him understand this world he enters, and uses guides on his journeys into, and escape out of, The Dark Vaults.

The Dead Man
The main antagonist in City Crimes is The Dead Man. The Dead Man is a character who, in order to conceal his identity, horribly disfigured and scarred his face through chemical means. Throughout the book, he commits several violent crimes, including blinding Josephine Franklin with sulfuric acid.  He held several positions in the past, including that of a physician and temperance supporter, and reveled in immorality in these roles until he eventually turned to remorseless murder and crime.

When the book takes place, he lives in the underground "Dark Vaults", characterized by violence, cannibalism, sexual taboos such as incest, and decaying animals and human corpses. His familial ties begin when he murder's a woman's husband, blinds and murders her two children, and has two children by her. One is called "The Image", and is a ghoulish subhuman creature that lives hidden away. The other is a criminal child taught to disregard morality and seek success in criminal acts. Some of his other wicked deeds in the book include torture, rape, mutilation, and arson. At the end of the story, he, after undergoing torture himself, is blown up and thus killed.

Maria Archer
Maria Archer is a prostitute who witnessed her parents cheat on each other as a child. This marked the beginning of her slip into social and moral decay, which culminates in her husband, Fred, forcing her into prostitution. Due to her upbringing and oppressive husband, her prostitution is partially apologized for by the narrator, though she still ends up dead (like the other women in the novel) at the hands of her husband when she refuses to keep paying him the money she earns. Later on, Fred becomes trapped in a vault and suffocates within, meeting his end.

Julia Fairfield
Julia Fairfield, while in a relationship with Frank Sydney, resists Frank physically, and has an affair with the African-American servant Nero. Frank is furious with her for cheating on him and separates from her, an act which Julia celebrates as it gives her newfound freedom to pursue her desires. As a result of this affair, Julia becomes pregnant. She kills the child of the affair with Nero soon after giving birth to it, then moves on from her relationship with Frank Sydney to a man named Mr. Hedge. Julia marries Mr. Hedge for his money, which facilitates her lifestyle, until eventually she kills him and then herself.

Sophia Franklin
The only non-sexually aggressive woman in the novel is Sophia Franklin. She is fully non-sexual, rebuffing advances made on her, until she unites with Frank Sydney at the end of the book. She is upheld by the narrator as a pillar of good, and is meant as the example to be followed for women. Beyond this, she plays an insignificant role in the story. Her sister Josephine and mother Lucretia, however, are both incredibly deviant sexually and morally, and greatly overshadow her in the book. Lucretia connives with Josephine to have her husband, Edgar Franklin, killed, so she may pursue her desires with pride, and encourages her daughters to do the same. After being blinded and facially disfigured by The Dead Man, Josephine marries a man named Thurston, and, upon the revelation that her face is now horrifically scarred, both parties kill themselves.

Genre
City Crimes belongs to a number of different genres, one of which being sensationalist literature. As a member of the sensationalists, City Crimes emphasizes decadence in city life. The genre tended to highlight the downsides of the urban world, and uphold the idea of the simple rural life. Part of this emphasis on urban ills involves showing what they dub the "real" world, as opposed to what readers would want to see the real world as. Though they made use of violence and sex as shocking devices, they did so as a cautionary tale against sex and violence. Sexuality is seen as a vice as well as a tool, used by characters for financial gain and security, and is punished accordingly. This is seen in City Crimes specifically when the sexually active women, such as Maria Archer, die at the end of their arcs.

City Crimes is also considered an urban gothic book, exhibiting a penchant for grotesque and deformed characters and horror elements, and considered to have lain the foundation for the City-Mysteries genre that Thompson and later writers wrote in. Thompson draws on the Gothic with his use of underground passages and hideouts, supernatural-seeming entities, and disfigured servants of evil such as The Dead Man and his hidden dwarf-like child "The Image". This is further exemplified with the use of scenes of graphic violence.

Reception

The reception of City Crimes at the time of publication was fairly negative, and remained as such for much of its existence. Overall, for contemporary readers and for critics reading when it was first published, City Crimes has a mixed reception.

One criticism by Carl Ostrowski of City Crimes is that Thompson profits off of slave narratives, such as that of Henry Box Brown.

In Henry Box Brown's narrative, he escapes slavery by physically mailing himself away in a package. He prepared a few supplies for his journey, but was met with a new trouble when the box he encased himself in was stored upside-down for transit. As a result, Henry wrote of painful complications involving the blood rushing to his head.

Drawing from this, in City Crimes, the antagonist, The Dead Man, does the same thing, mailing himself out of Sing Sing prison and encountering the torment of being stored upside-down. Thompson makes a few changes to Henry Box Brown's story as he details a grotesque flow of blood from The Dead Man, while also sizing up the dimensions of the box as compared to Henry Box Brown's. The connection between The Dead Man's fictional trouble and Henry Box Brown's factual experience is further strengthened by the fact that City Crimes was published soon after Narrative of the Life of Henry Box Brown, which suggests the prison escape of Thompson's was adapted from Henry Box Brown's work.

Another criticism by Zaren White is that City Crimes is pornographic in its extreme interpretation of the Gothic genre and treats male and female sexuality differently. Where both are criticized, sexual women in the novel are killed and meet terrible fates, where sexual men are apologized for. Further, male sexuality isn't connected as closely to crimes such as murder as female sexuality is.

Scholars such as David S. Reynolds, however, assert that, though City Crimes and sensational novels like City Crimes have been shunned by critics, they have a place in the greater context of literature. Sensational literature like City Crimes was cheaper than the other side of the literary coin of the time, domestic novels, and had an incredibly wide readership, making City Crimes, as a popular sensational novel, an important part of literary history. Further, City Crimes subverted the status quo in terms ideas of institutions and power, as well as prevalent ideas of righteousness, and helped open up the idea that literature didn't have to have a distinct moral compass.

Analysis
Throughout City Crimes, the sexuality of women is something to be repressed and fought against. Any deviation from the sexual norm for women is punished in the story. Female sexuality and crime are linked together, creating an association in the narrative between sex and immorality. It seeks to be a cautionary tale about rampant sexuality, and swings from explicit violence to heavily implicit sexual encounters. It seeks also to show the failings of the city's moral fiber and use exciting material to grab a reader's attention. To keep this interest, it employs use of titillating images and couples it with shocking revelations.

City Crimes also has several social concerns, such as a concern for the danger of being a prostitute and the reluctant life of prostitution in the city, as illustrated by Maria Archer, and some concerns for working class struggles. It's also very concerned with class structure. Thompson portrays the rich as enemies of the middle class, and while the protagonist is a rich man, he's associated with the "lower" classes, and is abandoned by his upper echelons (who he also doesn't hesitate to criticize). Thompson also illustrates how the rich are held less accountable than other people when, in one scene, a police officer pardons Frank when he finds out who he is, disgusting frank. A judge pardons another character, Dr. Sinclair, in a similar fashion, and is also depicted stealing money through the corrupt legal system. It then continues with social commentary to bemoan how prisoners are treated excessively poorly. Religious systems are also up for scrutiny, as Thompson showcases drunken temperance speakers and other hypocrisies of priests and reverends.

City Crimes, as a city-mysteries novel, appealed mainly to the working class, and used an underlying upset with the upper class as a means to be relatable for the working class readership.  Upper-class people being immoral and wicked in the book tended to be the result of such a design, and the book portrayed itself as shining a light on something unspoken in society.

For example, after The Dead Man mails himself out of Sing Sing Prison, he arrives at a warehouse, where, from within the box, he overhears the owner boast about taking advantage of prison labor to pay lower wages. He also overhears the same man say his insurance will no longer be covering the warehouse. He burns down the warehouse in the name of the working class, making the scene a sort of sympathetic scene for The Dead Man to Thompson's readership (middle class workers). In this way, Thompson utilizes and warps what was effective about Henry Box Brown's narrative to appeal to a different audience, including language such as "master" to keep a similar emotional attachment.

Publication
City Crimes was published in the newspaper Sporting Chronicle on September 1, 1849, under the pseudonym "Greenhorn." It was then published again in two parts, with the first part being published in June 1850 in Police Gazette. City Crimes was also included in a book list in The Miscellany in 1857, though Thompson himself was never explicitly mentioned.

Q: Equations Alignment I am having an issue with my equations. I would like to align 3 equations within 3 columns.
Currently my text is as follows:
\begin{align*}
 & = x^2 -12x +67 & = 6x^2 +24x +18 & = 9x^2 +7x +18 \\
 & = (x^2-12x+36)-36-67 & x^2+4x+3 & = 9\left(x^2+\dfrac{9}{7}x+2\right) \\
 & = (x-6)^2+31 & = (x+2)^2-1 &=  9\left(x^2+2\cdot \dfrac{45}{70} + \dfrac{45}{70}^2 -\dfrac{45}{70}^2 +2\right) \\
 & & & = 9\left[\left(x+\dfrac{45}{70}\right)^2+\dfrac{311}{196}\right]

Please help me find out out to space and align correctly my equations.
Thank you so much

A: The align environment requires two & per column from the second one: one to introduce the new column, one to set the alignment point within this column.
Maybe you might want to use the flalign environment in the present case. You can compare both solutions in the following code.
