Last weekend saw our most ambitious programme yet: three great Sci-Fi films over two days.
The weekender blasted off with Edge of Tomorrow (2014), proving yet again that Tom Cruise knows a good sci-fi script when he sees one (okay, War of the Worlds excepted).
The weekender culminated with all-time classic Alien (1979), which as everyone knows is an extended parable about the dangers of cat ownership.
These screenings were only part of the package of intergalactic stimulation on offer. The weekender also featured an opening night cocktail reception (Pan Galactic Gargleblaster anyone?); a slideshow of Richie Jarvis's remarkable astronomical photography (South Common Observatory); a primary school colouring competition; and printed programme notes.
Thanks to everyone who joined us over the weekend, which was supported by Film Hub Wales in partnership with the British Film Institute as part of the nationwide Sci-Fi season running until December (you can find out more here).

Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center Leads in Patient Satisfaction
Faculty, residents, physicians, and staff receive training on compassionate communication and are expected to treat all patients like their own family.
Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is the top hospital for patient satisfaction in Los Angeles, according to HCAHPS survey data released in October. The hospital received four out of five stars, the highest-ranking hospital in the area.
Communicating patient- and family-centered care
Medicine is changing in more ways than one, with a shift away from productivity measurements and more toward population health and patient-centered care. Respect and compassion are at the heart of every patient encounter.
"We all have a common purpose here, which is to treat patients and families like we would our own family," says Chief Patient Experience Officer Tony Padilla. "We have a standard approach to communication that everyone is expected to follow, whether they are housekeeping staff, physician, nursing or the CEO."
Providing an excellent patient experience consists of three key areas: effectively delivering care that heals and cures, providing quality clinical care and communicating with care and empathy. Students and faculty alike have plenty to explore within these elements.
Training the next generation for new models of care
Every member of the staff at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is trained with the CI CARE steps of communication. Residents and faculty may receive additional training, as well.
Students who perform rounds with physicians or observe in clinical settings will see this level of communication and focus on patient wellness across every department. Having organized processes throughout the medical center and health system, however, helps to provide patients with a more seamless care experience. This is where Lean methodology comes in. Lean values strive to reduce wasteful tasks that don't improve the delivery of quality care, according to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and Padilla observes more and more physicians are trained in these techniques. Naturally, it's a great avenue for medical students to pursue as well.
"If it's not forthcoming, medical students should seek out Lean training," Padilla says. "Physicians will be expected even more in the future to contribute to improving hospital and health-system processes."
Supporting compassionate physicians
Another key aspect of patient-centered care is having compassionate providers. Most students enter medical school excited about the possibilities when helping people. It's easy to lose this initial interest as they get caught up in textbooks or overwhelmed by training.
To maintain that enthusiasm and passion, Padilla encourages students to seek opportunities to participate in patient-experience rounds. Talking to patients reminds students why they are here.
Medicine is an emotionally demanding job, and UCLA supports the emotional health of its physicians just as much as their performance. This is a big contributor to high patient-satisfaction scores, as well. Physician burnout and fatigue are well-documented phenomena, for which Padilla says the health system offers opportunities to debrief on emotionally challenging cases. Doctors can share their experiences with one another, gain new insight and vent their concerns in a safe environment.
"We encourage all our physicians to take care of themselves and provide safe places for them to talk about challenges or struggles," Padilla says.
Each of these elements working together is the source of excellence in the region surrounding the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Padilla acknowledges there's always room for improvement, but the continued training of current faculty, combined with high expectations of future physicians, keeps the medical center at the top of its game.

Mann: Maritime Legal Black Holes: Migration and Rightlessness in International Law
Itamar Mann (Univ. of Haifa - Law) has posted Maritime Legal Black Holes: Migration and Rightlessness in International Law (European Journal of International Law, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
The article explores the trope of the "legal black hole" to reveal questions of legal theory arising from contemporary migrant drownings. The theme was popularized during what was then called the "war on terror," but its trajectory is longer and more complex. Its material history, as well as its intellectual history within legal scholarship, suggest three distinct 'legacies' of legal black holes: the counter-terrorism legacy; the migrant-detention legacy; and the legacy of the maritime legal black hole. The tripartite division provides a typology of instances where persons are rendered rightless. While the two former types are characterized by de-facto rightlessness due to a violation of international law, the latter exposes a seldom-acknowledged yet crucial characteristic of international law: age-old doctrine on the division of responsibilities between states and individuals at land and at sea is now creating the conditions in which some people are rendered de-jure rightless. Moreover, the typology sheds light on the specifically legal reasons for the seeming failure to end mass drowning of migrants and refugees in the Mediterranean Sea. Tracing the ways in which people become de-jure rightless is ultimately suggested as a broader research agenda for scholars of international law.

Huneeus & Urueña: Treaty Exit and Latin America's Constitutional Courts
Alexandra Valeria Huneeus (Univ. of Wisconsin - Law) & René Urueña (Universidad de Los Andes - Law) have posted Treaty Exit and Latin America's Constitutional Courts. Here's the abstract:
Constitutional courts in Latin America have used judicial review to enhance the relevance of international law in recent years. Some scholars even speak of a growing "constitutionalization of international law" in the region. But these domestic courts can also act as gatekeepers that blunt or entirely deflect the domestic impact of international law. This essay explores three recent episodes in which constitutional courts joined or led efforts to escape treaty obligations: the Venezuelan Supreme Court's judgment urging the Chávez administration to denounce the American Convention of Human Rights on constitutional grounds, which Chavez then did in 2012 (a court-inspired treaty exit); the Colombian executive's 2013 petition to have Colombia's acceptance of the ICJ's jurisdiction under the Pact of Bogotá declared unconstitutional (a court legitimated treaty exit), and the Dominican Republic (DR) Constitutional Tribunal's 2014 judgment holding that the DR's acceptance of the jurisdiction of the Inter-American Court had been unconstitutional (a court-led treaty exit).
Each of the domestic rulings to be discussed were issued in response to an adverse judgment from an international court, and each reflects an effort to quell the international court's impact by attacking the instrument granting jurisdiction to the court. The essay describes the episodes in context and then analyzes them as a single phenomenon. Taken together, the cases show that in the realm of treaty exit the region's constitutional courts are drawing on constitutional law to take on a surprisingly prominent foreign affairs role.

Basedow: The EU in the Global Investment Regime
Johann Robert Basedow (London School of Economics - European Institute) has published The EU in the Global Investment Regime: Commission Entrepreneurship, Incremental Institutional Change and Business Lethargy (Routledge 2018). Here's the abstract:
The European Union (EU) has emerged as a key actor in the global investment regime since the 1980s. At the same time, international investment policy and agreements, which govern international investment liberalisation, treatment and protection through investor-to-state dispute settlement, have become increasingly contentious in the European public debate.
This book provides an accessible introduction to international investment policy and seeks to explain how the EU became an actor in the global investment regime. It offers a detailed analysis of the EU's participation in all major trade and investment negotiations since the 1980s and EU-internal competence debates to identify the causes behind the EU's growing role in this policy domain. Building on principal-agent and historical institutionalist models of incremental institutional change, the book shows that Commission entrepreneurship was instrumental in the emergence of the EU as a key actor in the global investment regime. It refutes business-centred liberal intergovernmental explanations, which suggest that business lobbying made the Member States accept the EU's growing role and competence in this domain. The book lends support to supranational and challenges intergovernmental thinking on European Integration.

Daniel Klein (Secretariat, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), Maria Pia Carazo (Univ. for Peace), Meinhard Doelle (Dalhousie Univ. - Law), Jane Bulmer (Secretariat, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), & Andrew Higham (Mission 2020) have published The Paris Agreement on Climate Change: Analysis and Commentary (Oxford Univ. Press 2017). Here's the abstract:
The most important climate agreement in history, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change represents the commitment of the nations of the world to address and curb climate change.Signed in December 2015, it entered into force on 4th November 2016. Countries are moving into implementation, and efforts at all levels will be needed to fulfill its ambitious goals.
The Paris Climate Agreement: Commentary and Analysis combines a comprehensive legal appraisal and critique of the new Agreement with a practical and structured commentary to all its Articles. Part I discusses the general context for the Paris Agreement, detailing the scientific, political, and social drivers behind it, providing an overview of the pre-existing regime, and tracking the history of the negotiations. It examines the evolution of key concepts such as common but differentiated responsibilities, and analyses the legal form of the Agreement and the nature of its provisions. Part II comprises individual chapters on each Article of the Agreement, with detailed commentary of the provisions which highlights central aspects from the negotiating history and the legal nature of the obligations. It describes the institutional arrangements and considerations for national implementation, providing practical advice and prospects for future development. Part III reflects on the Paris Agreement as a whole: its strengths and weaknesses, its potential for further development, and its relationship with other areas of public international law and governance.

In-flight meals often get a bad rep. Some airlines serve good food, but some serve average or even bad food. Monotonous food choices and tasteless food are the major cause passengers tend to have a love-hate relationship with in-flight meal.
We tend to think that low-quality ingredients and poor handling that makes in-flight meals taste bad. But its all wrong, at Aerofood ACS In-flight catering facility they only use fresh and good quality ingredients.
It's not easy to enter Aerofood building. Stringent security standards have been enforced. We need to go through several security checks, and also body temperature examination before we enter their catering facility. Hair-net, face mask and disposable white coat is an obliged uniform to wear before you go into their kitchen.
Since it established in 1974, Aerofood ACS has been providing catering services for national and International flights. Besides Jakarta, Aerofood also has branches in several major cities in Indonesia such as Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar, Lombok, Balikpapan, Medan, and Pekanbaru.
As the largest Aerofood ACS facility, this kitchen in Soekarno Hatta can produce up to 50,000 meals per day or 120,000 meals per day for all unit Aerofood ACS. No wonder if this kitchen looks very busy, as they continue to operate for 24 hours a day.
Last week me and some other bloggers had a chance to visit Aerofood ACS Kitchen in Tangerang, Banten. Before visiting the kitchen, we had chatted briefly with Pak Afdal Amir, Aerofood ACS Vice President of Marketing.
From Pak Afdal we also learned that Aerofood ACS partnered with Kemenpar RI (Indonesian Tourism Ministry) to promote Indonesian signature dish to the world. Supported by the Indonesian Tourism Ministry, Aerofood ACS presents 5 Indonesian Signature dishes on Garuda Indonesia flights. Sate, Soto and nasi goreng are some of the examples of the food.
As a subsidiary of Garuda Indonesia, Aerofood ACS also serves for Presidential Flight, VVIP/ VIP Flight and the majority of International flight that fly to Indonesia. Having a halal certified flight kitchen, Aerofood ACS also providing catering services for Hajj and Umrah flight.
Visiting this enormous kitchen is such an interesting experience. Once I entering the food reception area I can see pallets of fresh fruits and vegetables are being unloaded.
In the food reception, the first step of quality control is carried out. All the raw materials are checked for the quality and weight specification. All these food ingredients then sent to separate rooms to be cleaned, washed and sterilized.
Before sending to the kitchen, all the food ingredients must go through micro bacterial examination in food laboratory. After the laboratory ensured that food ingredients did not contain harmful bacteria then food ingredients could be processed.
Their kitchen divided into hot kitchen, cold kitchen, pastry kitchen and special kitchen for business and first class flight. In this kitchen everything made from scratch- from salad, pastry and all dessert.
Their pastry kitchen smells heavenly. The fragrant smells of freshly baked croissant and banana bread float through the kitchen air and hit my nose. Rows of bakery racks filled with an enormous amount of cake, chocolate, pudding and many other baked goods. It's all looks irresistible and it makes me suddenly hungry.
In the hot kitchen, food is being prepared like any other restaurant, just on a very big scale. Besides, the taste hygiene and food safety are the most important aspects of air catering. Therefore, all the food handlers must wear gloves, mask and safety headgear.
Once cooked, the food then needs to cool quickly in order to kill bacteria, because bacteria grow fastest between 80 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. In other room chilled food then precisely weighed per portion, packed and labelled with the flight and meal details.
After the quality controls for weight specifications and bacterial count are done all the food then send either to the assembly room or chilled storage.
All the flight requirement prepared in the tray assembly room. Here, all the tray set-ups are done, the meal carts are loaded and other catering requirements are readied then taken to the loading bay.
After the kitchen tour, delicious food from Aerofood Industrial Catering has been waiting for us. Even though the food provided here is home-style cooking, but hygiene and food safety is still a priority. Aerofood Industrial Catering's menu carefully planned and prepared by a team of chefs and nutritionist. This team is responsible for ensuring that the food meets the nutritional needs of the workers, school children or hospital patients.
As part of the company's effort to serve nationwide, Aerofood ACS expanded their business through the commercial services division with business units such as a premium banquet, commercial lounges and industrial catering.
Aerofood ACS Industrial Catering service implement the same food safety and hygiene standards with Aerofood ACS In-Flight Catering service. So far Industrial catering service has served more than 50 national and International companies ranging from hospitals, schools, city manufacturing, oil mining, gas sector and special events.

Ohio State offensive lineman Kevin Woidke has been awarded a scholarship for his senior season with the Buckeyes, according to tweets from members of his family.
A walk-on from Cleveland's St. Ignatius High School, Woidke has not seen any playing time on Ohio State's offensive line in his career but has been a regular on the Buckeyes' field goal and extra point teams for the past two seasons, appearing in 25 total games.
An Ohio State spokesperson was unable to immediately confirm that Woidke had been awarded a scholarship, but Ohio State director of on-campus recruiting Tori Magers also tweeted about Woidke's reward.
When ya guy (@kwad941) gets a FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIP & forgets to tell you... so you yell at him & he proceeds to use newly found on Im Sorry s.
Ohio State was already at 85 scholarships for the 2019 season, so the addition of Woidke brings the Buckeyes to 86 (scholarship grid). Ohio State has until the start of fall camp, though, to get back to the limit of 85 scholarships or less – and it's likely that at least one current player will leave the program before then.


Knowing where to start when it comes to choosing the perfect cake for your wedding day can seem like a bit of a mission! I've worked with hundreds of couples over the last 30 years creating their dream cake, this means I've learnt how to make the process as stress free as possible. So here are my tips on how to break it down into 9 simple steps.
Taste matters – first things first, the cake flavour and taste are important! The idea is you and your guest should eat and enjoy the cake so make sure you always sample the various types and flavours on offer. At Karen's cakes we always freshly bake and never freeze our cakes, we believe in sticking to classic flavours that cut well and are crowd pleasers, Vanilla Genoese, Lemon Twist, Orange Grandeur, Coffee and Walnut, Belgian Chocolate Cake, Red Velvet with White Chocolate Buttercream, (Victoria Sandwich gluten/wheat free and only available for semi-naked and buttercreamed cakes) Traditional Rich Fruit and Luxurious Wedding Fruit. We recommend 2 flavours as more can complicate the issue, although we do of course do more if our couples want this. Choosing to have multiple flavours also means the whole cake would be cut even if the cake portions were not needed as well as possibly disappointing your guest if one of the flavours runs out. TIP Try before you order, ask is it fresh or frozen, should the completed cake it be kept in or out of a fridge, it's keeping qualities.
2. Real or fantasy – When deciding who you ask to make your cake make sure you see the quality of their work in reality, either as a sample dummy cake/s or good quality photographs. A recommendation is advisable from someone you trust. If the design you would like is based on a picture or sketch make sure your chosen cake maker is able to forfill the brief. TIP Seeing is believing, make sure you do your research!
3. To have or have not – In these days of anything goes there is the choice of cakes with or without traditional icing in the form of fondant, royal icing or buttercream, 'without' cakes are described as naked or semi-naked cakes. The looks are very different, 'without' is casual and informal, 'with' is timeless and allows more options to incorporate your personal wedding styling We do not make naked cakes as we believe to be at their best they need to be baked no earlier than the day before the wedding, preferably on the day, delivered and assembled on site and displayed for as sorter time as possible to prevent the cakes drying out, this is not something we can schedule into our busy bakery work load. Semi-naked cakes have a thin skim coat of fresh buttercream that beautifully marries 2 important jobs together, firstly it gives an extra bit of stability to the structure of the cake making it much safer for transportation and adding decorations to, secondly it helps to prevent the otherwise exposed cake from drying out.TIP Don't choose a semi-naked cake just because you don't like icing, choose it because you love the look!
4. Size matters! The number of portions needed does not necessarily dictate the size of cake or number of tiers you end up with, there are other things to consider before making that decision, how and when the cake is being served, the size of a 'portion', if you want to keep a tier, room/venue size together with where the cake will be displayed are all factors worth thinking about. Firstly, when to serve? The traditional British style wedding custom was to serve cake after the Wedding Breakfast, (so named as it was the first meal taken together as a married couple) as the last course with coffee. In recent times many couples will have additional evening guest, so it is becoming more popular to preform the cake cutting ceremony in the evening before the first dance rather than earlier in the day but in either case it is best to cater for the majority of your guest remembering some may not want a piece.
Another option is to serve the cake as dessert, in this case the cake portion size often needs to be larger, so bear that in mind. The size of the room is worth considering, in a grand venue bigger is best, an intimate restaurant would suit something more understated. TIP An experienced cake maker will help decide what is right for you taking into account all of the above as well as your budget.
5. Is it real – Some of the tiers cake be 'mock', in other words, polystyrene blocks that are decorated to match the rest of the cake. We do this as standard for our 'Showstopper Collection' designs because of weight issues created if all 5 tiers were made from cake, basically I would not be able to pick the cake up! Mock tiers can also be used to cut down on the number of portions of cake whilst still creating the elusion of height and grandeur but a word of warning, whilst it should reduce the cost remember the main expense is in the time and skill required to decorate the cake so do not expect vast savings. TIP Consider mock tiers carefully, sometimes they are essential, other times it may be false economy.
6.Things are shaping up – hopefully you've now got an idea about the flavours, coating type, how and when you are going to serve the cake and the size, next its the shape. Whilst there are lots of different shapes you could have, unless there is some burning reason why you would like to have an usual shape I would recommend sticking to round of square. The possibilities with these 2 shapes alone are endless, so why make the choice even harder for yourself! However I beg you, if you choose a square design do it because you like it and not because its easier to cut or you get a few more portions! TIP Make your choice based on the design not cutting or portion quantities.
7. Wedding colour scheme – Incorporating a colour scheme into a wedding cake can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, getting the balance and colour right is not as simple as you may think. Strong non-floral colours need to be introduced either with caution or used as statement, for instance in the coating colour. Some colours are near impossible to achieve in food safe colours, these include vibrant colours like royal blue and fuchsia, so don't expect a perfect match, accept that in some cases it may have to be a near version. Metallic colours are also a challenge, these require either a spray paint, hand painting, special types of sprinkles or gold or silver leaf to create. I make up colour samples when couples are ordering if something specific is request so that we all know exactly what can and can't be done. TIP Strong colours draw the eye, it's often a case of less is more.
8. Let's get personal – Monograms on cakes have long been popular as have model couples, it's a way to add something unique to you but there are other things you can add including toppers specifically made for you to order. Remember to make sure the topper will fit your cake and advise your cake maker you are having one, preferably giving it to them before the cake is completed to add as needed. TIP Order toppers early and let your cake maker know.
9. Just for you – I know is lovely to have something specifically designed and created for you, we all want our day to be as unique as possible but a word of caution, of all the options you can take when choosing your wedding cake, this has to be by far and away the most expensive and potentially disastrous route to take and here's why! Absolutely anything that is a handmade one off takes a lot of time and effort both in the design process and it's excision. The creator has to factor those cost and this will be reflected in the price, couple this with delving into the unknown of the designers skills, its is shall we say, a path less travelled but if you do go that route use the following to guide you! When choosing your cake maker think of it in the same way you would choose a restaurant, if you wanted an Indian meal you would not go into a Mexican restaurant and try to order a curry! They may rustle something up but it probably won't be as you'd hoped! Cake makers usually have particular skill sets in the same way a chef does, pick your cake maker based on the skills you can see they have and choose your unique design based around that. TIP Don't let your wedding cake be an experiment in a cake makers learning curve no matter how enthusiastic they seem!
Lastly a word about our wedding cake collections, every cake you can see on our website is made by us and in many cases they are real cakes created for some ones special occasion. Every cake be personalised by filling in the drop down boxes in the 'Order your cake' section on each design page, including the size, flavours and colours. The prices are displayed once the boxes are completed, you can even place your order via our website! But if you would prefer to see us and our cakes in the flesh we'd love to see you at our high street shop in Bishops Stortford, just give us a call to make an appointment.

After a supernatural showdown with a serial killer, Evie O'Neill has outed herself as a Diviner. With her uncanny ability to read people's secrets, she's become a media darling, and earned the title "America's Sweetheart Seer." Everyone's in love with the city's newest It Girl…everyone except the other Diviners.
Piano-playing Henry Dubois and Chinatown resident Ling Chan are two Diviners struggling to keep their powers a secret–for they can walk in dreams. And while Evie is living the high life, victims of a mysterious sleeping sickness are turning up across New York City.
As Henry searches for a lost love and Ling strives to succeed in a world that shuns her, a malevolent force infects their dreams. And at the edges of it all lurks a man in a stovepipe hat who has plans that extend farther than anyone can guess….As the sickness spreads, can the Diviners descend into the dreamworld to save the city?
Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea, Go Girls) arrives on assignment in Brokenwood, a small town where memories-and animosities- run deep. He's an experienced cop with a 1971 "classic" car, a collection of country music cassettes, and an indeterminate number of ex-wives. The new woman in his life is his assistant, Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland, The Almighty Johnsons), a by-the-book investigator nearly 20 years younger than her boss's car, who quickly has to get used to his lone-wolf ways.
As Shepherd adapts to the slower pace of life away from the city, he soon discovers that Brokenwood is a place of secrets and suspicions. Everyone and everything is connected, and the serenity of the countryside can easily be shattered by violence and death.
Filmed amid the beautiful landscape of New Zealand's North Island, these four feature-length mysteries show that murder can haunt even the most idyllic locations.

In mathematics, two non-zero real numbers a and b are said to be commensurable if their ratio  is a rational number; otherwise a and b are called incommensurable. (Recall that a rational number is one that is equivalent to the ratio of two integers.) There is a more general notion of commensurability in group theory.

For example, the numbers 3 and 2 are commensurable because their ratio, , is a rational number. The numbers  and  are also commensurable because their ratio, , is a rational number. However, the numbers  and 2 are incommensurable because their ratio, , is an irrational number.

More generally, it is immediate from the definition that if a and b are any two non-zero rational numbers, then a and b are commensurable; it is also immediate that if a is any irrational number and b is any non-zero rational number, then a and b are incommensurable. On the other hand, if both a and b are  irrational numbers, then a and b may or may not be commensurable.

History of the concept
The Pythagoreans are credited with the proof of the existence of irrational numbers. When the ratio of the lengths of two line segments is irrational, the line segments themselves (not just their lengths) are also described as being incommensurable.

A separate, more general and circuitous ancient Greek doctrine of proportionality for geometric magnitude was developed in Book V of Euclid's Elements in order to allow proofs involving incommensurable lengths, thus avoiding arguments which applied only to a historically restricted definition of number.

Euclid's notion of commensurability is anticipated in passing in the discussion between Socrates and the slave boy in Plato's dialogue entitled Meno, in which Socrates uses the boy's own inherent capabilities to solve a complex geometric problem through the Socratic Method.  He develops a proof which is, for all intents and purposes, very Euclidean in nature and speaks to the concept of incommensurability.

The usage primarily comes from translations of Euclid's Elements, in which two line segments a and b are called commensurable precisely if there is some third segment c that can be laid end-to-end a whole number of times to produce a segment congruent to a, and also, with a different whole number, a segment congruent to b.  Euclid did not use any concept of real number, but he used a notion of congruence of line segments, and of one such segment being longer or shorter than another.

That  is rational is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of some real number c, and integers m and n, such that

a = mc and b = nc.

Assuming for simplicity that a and b are positive, one can say that a ruler, marked off in units of length c, could be used to measure out  both a line segment of length a, and one of length b. That is, there is a common unit of length in terms of which a and b can both be measured; this is the origin of the term. Otherwise the pair a and b are incommensurable.

In group theory

In group theory, two subgroups Γ1 and Γ2 of a group G are said to be commensurable if the intersection Γ1 ∩ Γ2 is of finite index in both Γ1 and Γ2.

Example: Let a and b be nonzero real numbers. Then the subgroup of the real numbers R generated by a is commensurable with the subgroup generated by b if and only if the real numbers a and b are commensurable, in the sense that a/b is rational. Thus the group-theoretic notion of commensurability generalizes the concept for real numbers.

There is a similar notion for two groups which are not given as subgroups of the same group. Two groups G1 and G2 are (abstractly) commensurable if there are subgroups H1 ⊂ G1 and H2 ⊂ G2 of finite index such that H1 is isomorphic to H2.

In topology
Two path-connected topological spaces are sometimes said to be commensurable if they have homeomorphic finite-sheeted covering spaces. Depending on the type of space under consideration, one might want to use homotopy equivalences or diffeomorphisms instead of homeomorphisms in the definition. If two spaces are commensurable, then their fundamental groups are commensurable.

Example: any two closed surfaces of genus at least 2 are commensurable with each other.

Curiously enough, Antony, that parish in Cornwall just outside Torpoint, after which Antony Gardens in Pennycross in named, appears to be a corruption of an old and yet unrelated Saxon name – Anta. The spelling and pronunciation of the name has evolved into the more common Christian name Anthony perhaps because that is what the chroniclers thought it should be. At the time of Domesday this was Antone, as is Anta's farm or "tun" and so it would have been more logical to expect to see the name spelt "Anton" today.
What is particularly strange here though is that there is an Anton elsewhere in the country; it is the name of a river in Hampshire, but this name itself appears to have arisen out of an "incorrect identification of a place "Antona", mentioned by Tacitus, with Andover." Tacitus was evidently referring to the "Trisantona", an old name of the river Trent in Dorset, now better known as the Piddle.

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND – A few years back, before A Woman Sconed was created, I had the opportunity to participate in Island Gallery's second annual bread pudding bake off, here on Bainbridge Island. Not being a bread pudding aficionado, I read about a dozen recipes for inspiration, and set off on my own to create a sumptuous concoction with hazelnuts, chocolate, and a custard center. This was topped with a generous drizzle of warm bourbon caramel sauce. How fun and delicious! I placed second out of a couple of dozen contestants in the "amateur" division, and was tickled pink! All proceeds went to benefit Helpline House, our local food bank. A great experience!


Nearly 90 Percent of Enterprise Network Teams Spend Time Troubleshooting Security Issues; 80 Percent Report More Time Spent on Security vs. Last Year | VIAVI Solutions Inc.
Milpitas, Calif., April 10, 2017 – VIAVI Solutions (NASDAQ: VIAV) released the results of its tenth annual State of the Network global study today. This year's study focused on security threats, perhaps explaining why it garnered the highest response rate in the survey's history. Respondents included 1,035 CIOs, IT directors, and network engineers around the world. The study is now available for download.
Network team members' involvement in security: Eighty-eight percent of respondents say they are involved in troubleshooting security-related issues. Of those, nearly 80 percent report an increase in the time they spend on such issues, with nearly three out of four spending up to 10 hours a week on them.
Evolution of security threats: When asked how the nature of security threats has changed in the past year, IT teams have identified a rise in email and browser-based malware attacks (63 percent), and an increase in threat sophistication (52 percent). Nearly one in three also report a surge in distributed denial of service (DDos) attacks.
Key sources of security insight: Syslogs were cited by nearly a third of respondents as the primary method for detecting security issues, followed by long-term packet capture and analysis (23 percent) and performance anomalies (15 percent).
Key takeaways: what should IT service delivery teams do?
Know your "normal" – Recognizing abnormal traffic is critical for pinpointing an ongoing attack or security issue. Start comparing network traffic and behavior over points in time, either manually with freeware analyzer Wireshark, or using automated benchmarking in commercial network performance monitoring and diagnostic (NPMD) tools.
Speed discovery with traffic evidence – According to the recent Mandiant M-Trends report, the median number of days that attackers were present on a victim's network before being discovered is still 146 days; despite the use of IDS and other traditional security tools. Using packet capture with retrospective analysis, network teams can rewind to the time of the incident(s) and track exactly what the hackers accessed.
Ensure long-term packet retention – For high-traffic enterprise, data center, or security forensics applications, a purpose-built appliance with its own analytics may be the next step. Depending on size and volume, there are appliances that can capture and store up to a petabyte of network traffic for later analysis, simplifying forensic investigation for faster remediation.
Facilitate effective network and security team cooperation – Ensure successful collaboration between network and security teams on investigations with documented workflows and integration between security, network forensics, and performance management tools.
VIAVI (and previously Network Instruments) has conducted its State of the Network global study for 10 consecutive years, drawing insight about network trends and painting a picture of the challenges faced by IT teams. Questions were designed based on interviews with network professionals as well as IT analysts. Results were compiled from the insights of 1,035 respondents—nearly 40 percent more than in the 2016 study—including network engineers, IT directors and CIOs from around the world.


Starship was asked to communicate Boroondara's 2030 proposed 'strategic plan for population growth' to its residents, and to develop a series of events, channels and mechanisms that would give residents a way to genuinely be included in the debate.
We were given an A4 295 page document from Boroondara's planning department, and was asked to translate it into a clear, succinct piece of communication that engages residents and engenders their desire to be part of the discussion.
Starship undertook extensive research into community expectations then later created a unique look and simplified messaging for the 2030 strategy plan, which executed into a 'Special Edition Bulletin'.
Victoria's largest in business size and 'wealth' terms, Boroondara is now regarded as one of the most (if not the most) progressive, community focused professional Councils in Australia.


BitScopes like BS10 (shown here as part of a low cost electronic projects lab built around Raspberry Pi) are different from other peripherals for RPi.
BitScope can capture multiple analog and digital signals at very high sample rates (up to 40MSps in some cases) or it can stream continously at lower sample rates but in all cases sampling is done without loading the Raspberry Pi CPU or requiring a real-time operating system for low jitter sampling.
It's also more convenient because it connects and is powered via USB so it can work with a Raspberry Pi in a case. BitScope uses an industry standard IDC-26 Smart Port connector for analog and digital signal I/O, power and ground. It can even power and control small external circuits and is compatible with accessories like these dual channel active differential probes.
BitScope and Raspberry Pi make a great combination for many high speed data acquisition applications. See the related posts below for more details and stay tuned for some new announcements towards the end of the year.


A horse enthusiast who rides frequently, Norman then did a TD celebration that involved pretending the football was a horse and that he was galloping atop it. That turned out to be symbolic, because the play allowed the Panthers to ride away from Jacksonville despite a desultory performance by Carolina's offense.
The biggest question after the game concerned Kuechly's availability, but coach Ron Rivera said he didn't know much as of yet. Kuechly will enter the NFL's concussion protocol and will have to clear a number of doctors' hurdles if he is going to play in the Panthers' home opener Sunday against Houston.
Kuechly has started every game since he arrived at Carolina in 2012. But he was obviously woozy after making a tackle in the second quarter, and he fell to the ground. He eventually walked off under his own power. Kuechly was unavailable to the media after the game, but several teammates reported they had conversations with him and said they were heartened by those.
Norman's score gave Carolina a 17-9 lead, and the Panthers then bled the clock for much of the rest of the game. The Panthers' offense scored only one touchdown: a seven-yard pass from Cam Newton to Jerricho Cotchery.
This was the first NFL opening-day victory for fifth-year quarterback Cam Newton. He lost his first three openers and didn't play in 2014 due to injury when backup Derek Anderson guided the Panthers to victory.
The Panthers' Ted Ginn dropped a pass inside the 5 that would have been a touchdown. Graham Gano missed one field goal and had another blocked. Newton threw a bad interception. Olsen, on an apparent touchdown, was called for pushing off on the defender before he caught the ball.
The Panthers' defense, however, did just that. Yes, it was only Jacksonville – the Jaguars are now an NFL-worst 9-40 since the beginning of the 2012 season. But the Panthers have managed to lose these types of games plenty of times before, playing down to the level of suspect competition.
It was happening again until Norman's interception. The cornerback, who got into a brief fight with Newton in training camp, had a big day; he also forced and recovered a fumble inside the Panthers' 20.
Linebacker A.J. Klein did an adequate job replacing Kuechly at middle linebacker. "The beautiful thing is the way they rallied around A.J.," Rivera said.
By the end, the Panthers were walking off with an 11-point win and into a locker room that did not seem very celebratory. "We definitely could play a lot better," fullback Mike Tolbert said.
It was enough, however. Panthers fans and players won't put a frame around Sunday, but they aren't too picky. As long as Kuechly's concussion doesn't turn out to be severe, they will rate this day as an unqualified, ugly success.

The Falcons lost by seven goals earlier in the year, but dominated early in the rematch to advance in the league playoffs.
BRISTOL - Kevin Vaitis knew that his North Penn hockey team wasn't going to manhandle Pennsbury on Wednesday night in the Scholastic High School Hockey League playoffs at Grundy Arena like it had during a seven-goal win earlier in the season at the same facility.
"We knew coming into this game that it would not be that same team we played," Vaitis said. "Some of us, I think, believed that it was."
The Falcons used a four-goal first period, including a probable back-breaking score with less than a second to play in the opening 15 minutes, to advance with a 6-1 thrashing of the Knights.
"They took it to us," Vaitis said. "They deserved to win."
"They kicked our butts last time." Pennsbury coach John Bria said. "We talked about getting off to a fast start and we were able to do that."
The season is not over for North Penn (15-8-4). The Knights will get about a week to lick their wounds before they open play in the Flyers Cup Class AA tournament.
North Penn knows it has the talent to play with most teams - maybe any team. Just last week, the Knights handed Council Rock South its only loss.
But Wednesday night, North Penn was no match for Pennsbury (16-15-1). The Falcons jumped on a bunch of rebounds and turned them into goals. Any hope the Knights had disappeared when Mike Hlatky turned a last-second North Penn turnover into a slap shot goal right before the buzzer went off to end the first period.
"We seemed like a different team," Pennsbury senior forward Ryan Anderson said after a two-goal, one-assist performance. "We kept the pressure on all game."
After falling behind 5-0 early in the second period, North Penn had many opportunities to work its way back into the game. Pennsbury goalie Ben Herring, who made 22 saves, turned the Knights away every time, but once.
Brandon Fishman scored with 3:25 to go in the second period to make it 5-1 and give North Penn a glimmer of hope if it could score one more time before the end of the period.
"You get that first goal, and you're thinking if you get that second one, you might have a chance," Vaitis said. "But we never did."
"We let them get some chances during the second period," Anderson said. ""We got things back under control by putting the pressure on them during the third period."
