The other day while I was marking a bunch of papers in one of the corners of MUIC's newly inaugurated working space, I heard a young man's loud voice echoing. Turned out, it was Nut, a former student of mine. He was very excited about the new place and, in return, he was saying out loud his fascination for it. If you don't know him, you'd wonder why he would have to verbalize that loud his excitement.
Nut, however, is special. Born with a congenital eye problem, he can barely see anything, except for a tiny glimpse into anything that is before him. But what makes him extra special is that despite his condition, he behaves as normal as you and I are, without calling for attention just because of his situation.
Nut is a very diligent student whose performance in my class from many terms ago surpassed an average student's. He writes well and studies well. In my class, however, I decided to provide him readings at least a meeting before the actual session to allow him to more time to read. He can only rely on one eye to read and see things. To get around, he has to rely on a walking stick to make sure he doesn't stumble into people and things, let alone be bumped into. In my class, he had to use a gadget that would translate for him a textinto an audio material. Despite all these, Nut way exceeded my expectations.
Oh, did I tell you that he also moves around the campus alone and lives in a nearby dormitory alone?
I further learned that Nut has recently applied to the College's student exchange program. He is looking forward to joining a university in the UK in the coming term. And, yes, he'd be living miles away from his family and friends alone as well.
You would wonder then how someone like Nut can do this. Is he not worried about his safety? Is he not afraid to tread into something entirely unknown to him and in a foreign country at that?
That is what I call grit.
Nut has shown to possess grit despite his condition. He is one person who does not recognize limitations just because of his limited physical capability. In fact, I doubt if he considers his eye problem his limitation. From how I know him and how he treats things, Nut is an epitome of grit and courage.
He lives it. He breathes it.
And if someone like him can afford to soar with flying colors, we should all be ashamed if we ourselves shy away from this life's challenges.

Now Available Where Digital Manga is Sold: The Drops of God
By Tadashi Agi and Shu Okimoto
The award-winning comic about wine that has been a hit not just all over Asia but also in France! Learn about legendary bottles as well as affordable secrets while enjoying a page-turner that's not about superheroes but people with jobs to keep. When world-renowned wine critic Kanzaki passes away, his will reveals that his fortune of a wine collection isn't bequeathed as a matter of course to his only son, who in a snub went to work sales at a beer company. To come into the inheritance, Shizuku must identify—in competition with a stellar young critic—twelve heaven-sent wines whose impressions the will describes in flowing terms …
"My favorite wine book of [the year] … Pick up this first volume at your sleep's peril. It's a one-nighter, a wine tale that is equal parts coming-of-age, love and detective stories. Along its nervy way, it nonetheless plainly explains various wines, wine talk and the how-to of wine tasting. As a graphic novel, it gets across a lot more emotion and imagery than mere prose … You'll be drunk with anticipation." —Chicago Tribune
"An almost psychedelically beautiful work… It's like Speed Racer crossed with Wine Spectator." —The Daily Dish (LA Times)
"Absolute page-turner … It's the sweeping two-page illustrations of taste-transporting moments (a shirt-tearing jam by rock band Queen, a maiden fleeing through strawberry fields) that better capture wine's great allure than a thousand dry scribblings on history and weather conditions." —Time Out New York
"It presents wines rapturously and in creative ways … I'm a vodka man, but Drops of God left me with a new appreciation for the grape, new vocabulary words like terroir (the flavors and aromas that soil and geography impart to a wine) and a fascination with decanting, which the book depicts as an art form." —The New York Times

Addiction treatment is one of the most empowering experiences anyone can go through. You enter as a man on a mission, determined to make the most out of your opportunity and to truly rid yourself of addiction, once and for all. You work your program, participate, engage, and learn more about yourself in three months than you may have ever learned in years prior. You make friends, and these people become the ones that help you get through some of the process that's a little harder for you to digest. Then, in the span of just a few months, you're done. You feel enlightened, energized, and ready to tackle anything world throws at you. Sometimes, however, in between tackling treatment and tackling the big wide world on your own, you need a little extra push. Concepts that might have sounded awesome in theory at the treatment facility might seem a little more difficult outside of that environment.
That's where our team at The Last House comes in. We're a sober living house that specializes in making that transition stage not just important, but valuable.
It's hard enough to take the first step in anything, but recovery can be an even trickier process than most. The world is a big place, and there's so much out there that we could never prepare ourselves for everything, no matter how hard we tried. Frankly, if you leap right from addiction treatment to life on your own, it can be hard to tell if you're going to be alright. Things shouldn't be this way, though. There shouldn't be that degree of uncertainty that makes us wonder whether treatment was worth it, if we are going to be able to resist temptation, or if we have what it takes to apply the principles we learned in treatment to the great unknown. Our job at The Last House is to take that fear, and to turn it into excellence. We are here to make you the very best version of yourself, by putting you in an environment where you can learn from potential mistakes, get to know other men that are also transitioning out of treatment, and form lasting bonds with peers that will be there for you for years to come. We help build you up, so you can help build communities. With us, transitioning from treatment to recovery is not a chore, nor is it nerve-wracking or fear-inducing. It is, quite literally, an experience of a lifetime.
How do we change your transition process?
The National Institute on Drug Abuse says that "generally, for residential or outpatient treatment, participation for less than 90 days is of limited effectiveness, and treatment lasting significantly longer is recommended for maintaining positive outcomes." Basically, it takes some time to do recovery the right way, no matter if you stay at a facility for the duration of your program, or if you recover at home. Many times, addiction is an illness that has been with us for years before we get treatment, and while intensive treatment can definitely help us get rid of the illness, it takes trained professionals from a sober living house to pick up where treatment ends and help guide us to where life begins. At The Last House, we are focused on doing just that, specifically by building men into independent, collaborative, confident gentlemen that are both intuitive and discerning. We don't spend a lot of time sugarcoating things, because that isn't what the world is like. We encourage transparency, honesty, integrity, and, most importantly, brotherhood. These are the pillars of who we are, and they become the pillars of every single man that walks through our doors. We change the transition process by allowing our men the freedom to make mistakes, correct them, and learn how to do it better than the next time. The strong men in our programs don't have to worry about falling, because even if they stumble a little bit, they have their brothers right beside to pick them up.
We're here to make a community– a tribe, really– of men that are so well-prepared to get back out into the world that when they do, they truly don't end up as just normal, contributing citizens. They are extraordinary. They are confident, bold, and courageous. They are self–aware, empathetic, and a joy to be around. We turn the transition process into a training ground. Men enter, perhaps unsure, maybe a little timid, and leave true warriors, having overcome addiction and ready to take on any challenges life may throw at them.
Everything that we do here at The Last House is tailored for our clients to find renewed purpose in life, even more than they had before they were addicted. We focus on aligning mind, body, and soul, and on the importance of self worth, self-reliance, and self-awareness. The brotherhood that we foster in our men is organic, and leads to incredible results. Men need other men to help them make such a big life change. It empowers them, stirs them up, and lets them know that things are ok, because the ones around them aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
It's hard to put into words the enormous impact that we have on our clients, but, suffice to say, there's a reason we are Los Angeles' premium men's sober living facility. If you're looking for direction, guidance, and brotherhood in your life, look no further. Call The Last House sober living today at (855)998-5278!

SO CLOSE: Kyle Assante just misses the post with this last ditch attempt on Saturday. Picture: Andy Wilson.
ST Neots Town manager Iain Parr has added two players to his St Neots Town squad following the team's 1-0 defeat at home to Frome Town on Saturday.
SKIP STEP: Dan Jacob skips a challenge against Frome Town on Saturday. Picture: Andy Wilson.
After signing striker Dubi Ogbonna following the player's release from Eastern Counties side Wisbech Town, the club confirmed on Tuesday Tuesday that it had tempted goalkeeper Niall Conroy to move from Westwood Road.
Ogbonna was the leading goalscorer at Wisbech and featured for the club in their two matches against St Ives Town in the FA Vase. He is a tricky and pacy forward who should prosper alongside Ben mackey at the club. As long as he fits in.
On his decision to release the 21-year-old, Wisbech manager Steve Appleby told The Hunts Post's sister paper The Cambs Times: "Dubi is a very talented footballer who could no doubt play higher if he applied himself better. He's a colourful character, but very individual and I've decided that it's time for us to go our separate ways.
Ogbonna will get his debut in Kettering tonight before making his home debut against the league leaders Leamington on Saturday.
Conroy's decision to leave St Ives for St Neots is not surprising considering the 20-year-old had lost his place to Nick Bennion this season.
Given the vitality of their performance against Chesham United the previous Tuesday, St Neots 1-0 defeat at home to Frome on Saturday was a setback and somewhat surprising.
Frome, all the way from Somerset, had not won a game since Christmas, yet capitalised on yet another defensive error from the Saints to score early on, and never looked troubled from then on.
What the Saints did well to win 3-1 against Chesham, they hardly did at all just four days later.
"We were beaten by a team that simply wanted it more," said Parr. "We had more possession but only created a few chances and got what we deserved.
"As much as we were good on Tuesday, we were poor today.
And so to Kettering Town, where St Neots should be able to pick up three points from the Southern League Premier Division strugglers – but which St Neots will turn up?
On Saturday Ben Mackey and Craig Calver were given scant service and only late on, in the final minute in fact, did the team go close to breaking through when substitute Kyle Assante almost turned a powerful ball into the box goalwards. In the end, it slammed into the hoardings behind the goal and the game was done.
Mackey needs a supply line and Calver a break – he certainly didn't deserve some of the criticism brandished at him from behind the goal in the second half. Jack Giddens, the St Neots goalkeeper, was also the target of what can only be described as abuse.
It seems the natives are getting restless at The Cozy Stadium. Perhaps the introduction of Ogbonna will help out in that regard.

Wednesday looking to end the season on a high
Last updated : 22 April 2019 By Chris Morris
Owls Vs Robins: Team news & preview
Sheffield Wednesday's slim promotion hopes may have all but ended in the 2-2 draw at league leaders Norwich City on Good Friday but the Owls will be looking to end the season in style in their last 3 games.
Steve Bruce's side are 7 points behind 6th place Middlesbrough going into their final 3 games and while their own chances of making the top 6 may be gone, Monday's game against Bristol City is still an important one in terms of the table. City travel to Hillsborough in 7th place, 1 point behind Middlesbrough but with a game in hand.
Midfielder Adam Reach is unlikely to return from an achilles strain and Wednesday may be without goalkeeper Keiren Westwood who picked up an injury in the warm up at Norwich, Cameron Dawson is likely to continue to deputise. Same Hutchinson picked up an injury during the game at Carrow Road and is unlikely to feature, fellow midfielder Josh Onomah played for the first time in months in Friday's 2-2 draw and Barry Bannan may be available to return to the starting 11 having appeared from the bench last time out due to nursing an injury.
Striker Gary Hooper was rested on Friday and could return to the squad while Wednesday fans will be hoping to see more from Fernando Forestieri who produced his best performance of what has been a frustrating season for him on Friday.
Bristol could be without midfielder Korey Smith as he limped out of Friday's 1-1 draw at home to Reading with an ankle injury. The visitors are unlikely to make too any changes as they continue to chase a play-off spot and their away form has been impressive recently with wins coming at fellow promotion chasers Middlesbrough and Sheffield United.
Wednesday enjoyed a 2-1 win at Ashton Gate when the two teams last met back in October and they haven't lost at home to Bristol City in their last 3 encounters.

Q: Neither keyboard nor cursor are appearing when a UITextField is tapped I am testing out a simple application on Xcode 5.0.2. Using storyboard, I've dragged two view controllers that are connected by segues. On first view controller there is a button, after pressing that button next controller shows up which has two textfields. When I tap the textfield, the keyboard is not showing up and the text cursor is missing.
textFieldViewController.h file
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *nameField;

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *numberField;

- (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender;

- (IBAction)backgroundTap:(id)sender;

textFieldViewController.m file
 - (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender {
    [sender resignFirstResponder];
}

- (IBAction)backgroundTap:(id)sender {
    [self.nameField resignFirstResponder];
    [self.numberField resignFirstResponder];
}

screenshot

A: Make sure that your UserInteraction of UITextfield is Enabled and you didnot have any view on your Textfield.

A: This can also happen with Xcode 6/iOS 8 because of simulator settings:
Xcode 6: Keyboard does not show up in simulator

A: - (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{//Text Field Delegate

     [textField resignFirstResponder];

    return TRUE;
}

can u try this and set the textFields delegate using storyboard
or use
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
  nameField.delegate = self;
  numberField.delegate = self;
}

an in textFieldViewController.h file
change to @interface textFieldViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>

A: I have had this issue and in my case, I have a custom view that displays various subviews on demand. Everything was fine, until the release of iOS 7.1.
So I was creating an UITextField when (1st case) my view was about to be added as subview and when (2nd case) the view was initialized (initWithFrame: method). I have seen so many solutions where the responder chain was modified or the tint color changed. But in my case, I got my stuff behaving normally only with that one thing:
I placed the initialization code for the UITextField into a lazy-getter and scheduled a delayed call of this method.
-(UITextField*)textField {
    if (!_tf) {
        _tf = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:self.bounds]
        // (... more code to set up the text field ...)
        [self addSubview:_tf];
    }
    return _tf;
}

And then, (I had already overridden this method, so I deceided to call this here):
-(void)didMoveToSuperview {
    [super didMoveToSuperview];
    if (self.superview) {
        // (... other code ...)
        [self performSelector:@selector(textField) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.04];
    }
}

And it works for me.

Sometimes It all goes wrong with the sub-division; decisions made at a very early development stage that sentence occupants to a lifetime of living in a dark and cold house or expensive energy bills trying to mitigate the environmental misery.
In one northern Perth suburb, two sites have been cleared. On *Smith Street, two houses have been demolished and the land sub-divided into three narrow 12m. wide lots.
The other site on *Brown Street was once a kindergarten, which is now demolished except for the parking bays, and the land has been subdivided and offered for sale as five narrow lots, also 12m. wide.
This is praiseworthy in respect of upping residential density to meet State Planning recommendations but blameworthy as both street frontages face north, and it is all but impossible to plan an energy efficient house on any of the eight lots. It is no surprise all the lots have remained on the market for over a year, and present to the streets as weed infested, debris dumping grounds. Recent changes to the Building Act energy requirements will have made the required energy star rating even harder to achieve.
If the narrow sides of the lots faced east and west, there would be no problem but if the ideal orientation cannot be achieved, residential planning codes should be relaxed to enable a sub-division to meet energy efficiency requirements.
The rear boundaries of all eight narrow lots front laneways, two of the old 'night soil' lanes so useful in our older suburbs these days as the location for garages and workshops, leaving the streetscape better scaled and free of dominating elements, like double garage doors. Residential planning and dual density draft codes both call for better social engagement between the house and street, more window-to-street surveillance and improved street activation.
One means of achieving better orientation is to 'square up' the blocks and front one or two to the laneway. But local authorities in Metropolitan Perth, unlike their Melbourne and Sydney counterparts, seem reluctant to lobby State Planning to allow laneways to be the sole frontage for separate dwellings, or even to start a process of recognising the worth of laneways by naming them. While Councils across Perth are recognising localities with laneways as suitable for dual density/urban infill development and intend to seek re-zoning to higher densities in the next Town Planning Scheme amendment, this is as far as it goes.
Because of its proximity to Jones Street, the Smith Street rear block (Lot 3) could avoid any changes to lane status or naming problems by taking a Jones Street number (12A or whatever). One Council objection to using laneways is access and insurance problems for wide body refuse/recycling trucks and other service vehicles using non-gazetted roads. In this instance the Lot 3 householders can easily place their bins on Jones Street.
This is not achievable with the Brown Street site, where there is no convenient nearby laneway/street junction. One solution for Brown Street is to site Lots 4 and 5, and their garages, fronting the rear laneway, while allocating Brown Street street numbers to both these rear blocks. Pedestrian access on the boundaries of Lots1/2 and Lots 2/3 gives Lots 4 and 5 equal Brown Street status.
Some of these solutions are possible under existing codes, with a degree of Council co-operation, and, hopefully, the Council in question is advising these two developers of their planning options.
* The names of streets have been changed .
If you look at many new subdivisions, whole estates even, you see very few lots designed for correct orientation.

Using frequency-domain triggering, these new real-time spectrum analyzers facilitate the capture of time-varying, periodic, or transient RF signals from DC to 8 GHz.
Capturing time-varying signals is a challenge for most measurement tools. Oscilloscopes, of course, are known for their ability to trigger on a high-speed event and show time-domain information about the captured waveform. But engineers seeking transient signal analysis in the frequency domain have had few options until now. With the introduction of the RSA2200A and RSA3300A Series of real-time spectrum analyzers from Tektronix, Inc. (Beaverton, OR), RF designers can now capture time-varying and transient signals at frequencies to 8 GHz, even when such signals carry wideband modulation.
The RSA Series real-time spectrum analyzers (see figure) allow an engineer to capture an entire frequency span at one time by triggering a selected bandwidth around a center frequency. In contrast, a conventional spectrum analyzer uses superheterodyne receiver techniques to sweep a local oscillator (LO) across a frequency span of interest, with a resolution-bandwidth filter also employed to suppress unwanted spurious and harmonic signals in the band of interest. The conventional method provides an excellent way to study stationary signals or signals with known narrow modulation bandwidths, although it is less than ideal for examining transient signals or signals with wide modulation bandwidths. The real-time spectrum analyzer captures a full time record of signals across an entire frequency span of interest. Similar to a still-photography camera, the real-time analyzer captures every signal occurring in the bandwidth of interest during the instant in which that "frame" was captured. The real-time spectrum analyzer can continue to capture and store these frames until stopped, storing a series of time-sequenced frequency spans that can reveal even the most difficult-to-capture transient signals.
In addition to this wideband signal capture capability; the real-time spectrum analyzers share some of the triggering capabilities of modern digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs). The analyzer can be programmed to trigger on specific frequency and amplitude conditions, for example, triggering on signals that fall within or outside of a defined amplitude/frequency mask.
The RSA2200A Series analyzers include RSA2203A, which operates from 10 MHz to 3 GHz (with optional extension to DC) and the RS2008A, which operates from 10 MHz to 8 GHz (with optional extension to DC). Both instruments feature 2-MB signal capture memory and maximum signal capture bandwidth of 10 MHz.
The RSA3300A Series analyzers include the RSA3303A, which operates from DC to 3 GHz, and the model RSA3308A, which operates from DC to 8 GHz. Both instruments feature 15-MHz signal-capture bandwidths, and 64-MB standard signal-capture memory (with option for 256-MB signal-capture memory). Both series of instruments are equipped with demodulators to process a wide range of modulation formats, including amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), amplitude-shift-keying (ASK) modulation, frequency-shift-keying (FSK) modulation, and phase modulation. The real-time spectrum analyzers provide the measurement power to capture in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) modulation signal components like a vector signal analyzer, but with the flexibility of frequency-domain triggering.
Although both series of analyzers offer unique measurement capabilities, they can also be used in conventional spectrum-analyzer mode to "sweep" across a frequency range using resolution-bandwidth filters from 1 Hz to 10 MHz in the RSA2200A analyzers and to 15 MHz in the RSA3300A analyzers. The analyzers also offer a time-domain mode based on the use of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) capability to display signal information as a function of time using a variety of display window types (such as Hamming, Blackman, Parzen, Welch, and Blackman-Harris windows).
Noise sidebands in the RSA2200A instruments are below −133 dBc/Hz measured 7 MHz from a 1-GHz center frequency, and below −132 measured 7 MHz from a 2-GHz center frequency. Noise sidebands in the RSA3300A instruments are below −135 dBc/Hz measured 7 MHz from either a 1- or 2-GHz center frequency. Reference levels can be set from −51 to +30 dBm with a wide range of attenuation capabilities; amplitude marker readout resolution is a precise 0.01 dB. Frequency resolution can be set from 1 MHz to 1 MHz; the carrier-frequency-measurement accuracy is ±4.01 kHz at 2 GHz.
These real-time spectrum analyzers bring new measurement capability to a wide range of applications. The analyzers are well equipped with digital-signal-processing (DSP) capabilities for detailed analysis. P&A: $22,990 and up; six weeks. Tektronix, Inc., 14200 SW Karl Braun Dr., P.O.

Sirdeaner Walker says 'no tears' as anti-bullying efforts slated in Springfield area
Published: Sep. 11, 2014, 12:02 a.m.
Peter Goonan | pgoonan@repub.com
SPRINGFIELD — Sirdeaner Walker, whose son Carl Walker Hoover committed suicide in 2009 after repeated bullying, said Wednesday she is "so grateful" to efforts by so many people to keep her son's legacy alive through continuous anti-bullying efforts.
"I know, without a doubt that he is happy and that he is safe, and that he is so very proud of everyone here," Walker said, during a ceremony at City Hall, announcing anti-bullying programs this weekend. "So there are no tears for me today because I can tell you without a doubt that my baby boy is happy."
The Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover Foundation, joined by Mayor Domenic J. Sarno, announced anti-bulling programs this weekend, ranging from a road race at Forest Park to a sock hop.
"Today all I want to say is thank you to each and everyone who has been committed to keeping my son's legacy alive," Walker said. "I m so truly blessed, so truly grateful."
Walker praised the foundation for its anti-bullying efforts, including the programs, scholarships, and awareness.

Street Kings
Ludlow (disambiguation)
Ludlow, Massachusetts
Street Kings is a 2008 American action thriller film directed by David Ayer, and starring Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie, Chris Evans, Common and The Game. It was released in theaters on April 11, 2008.
The initial screenplay drafts were written by James Ellroy in the late 1990s under the title The Night Watchman.
Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves) is a disillusioned LAPD Vice detective working for a unit known as Vice Special and haunted by the death of his wife. Working undercover, he meets with Korean gangsters (whom he believes have kidnapped two Korean schoolgirls) in a parking lot, who are looking to buy a machine gun from him. After a vicious beatdown, the Koreans then proceed to steal Tom's car. Tom however planned on this and has the cops locate the vehicle via GPS. Upon arrival at their hideout, Tom storms in and kills the four inside with his .45 Smith & Wesson 4506 pistol, and then locates the missing children after covering up what really happened. While the other officers in his unit congratulate him, he is confronted by his former partner, Detective Terrence Washington (Terry Crews). Washington no longer approves of the corruption and deception and has gone straight, reporting the problems to Captain James Biggs (Hugh Laurie), of internal affairs, who starts an investigation against Ludlow.

Coordinates: 52°22′05″N 2°43′05″W / 52.368°N 2.718°W / 52.368; -2.718
Ludlow is a market town in Shropshire, England, located 28 miles (45 km) south of Shrewsbury and 23 miles (37 km) north of Hereford via the main A49 road, which bypasses the town. With a population of approximately 11,000 Ludlow is the largest town in south Shropshire. The town is significant in the history of the Welsh Marches and neighbouring Wales.
The town is situated at the confluence of the River Corve with the River Teme. The oldest part is the medieval walled town, founded in the late 11th century after the Norman conquest of England. It is centred on a small hill which lies on the eastern bank of a bend of the River Teme. Atop this hill is the site of Ludlow Castle and the parish church, St Laurence's, the largest in the county. From there the streets slope downward to the River Teme, and northward toward the River Corve. The town is in a sheltered spot beneath Mortimer Forest and the Clee Hills, which are clearly visible from the town.

Ludlow is a town in Hampden County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 21,103 as of the 2010 census, and it is considered part of the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area. Located just northeast of Springfield across the Chicopee River, it is one of the city's suburbs. It has a sizable and visible Portuguese community.
Although plans were drawn up for settlement as early as 1685, within the original boundaries of Springfield, Massachusetts was settled in 1751 as Stony Hill Parish. However, the town was later renamed Ludlow and incorporated as a separate entity in 1774, just before the breakout of the American Revolution. For much of its early history the town was agrarian and today many of Ludlow's street names are derived from the names of these farming families (e.g. Chapin Street, Miller Street, Alden Street, Fuller Street). Ludlow was home to many sawmills and gristmills, utilizing the power from several sources of water nearby, the Chicopee River, Broad Brook, Higher Brook, and Stony Brook. Before the Civil War, the town began to develop into a New England mill town. This included the manufacturing of glass bottles by the many glassware companies, including John Sikes. The District was renamed from Stony Hill to Ludlow for reasons unknown to this day. Then Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, Thomas Hutchinson renamed the town from the District of Stony Hill to Ludlow. The town of Ludlow was possibly named after Roger Ludlow, one of the founders of the Connecticut Colony or named after Ludlow, a town in England.

Погром в День святой Схоластики () произошёл в Оксфорде 10 февраля 1355 г. в день памяти святой Схоластики — католической святой и сестры св. Бенедикта Нурсийского.

В таверне Свиндлсток (где сейчас находится здание банка Сантандер на площади Карфакс двое студентов Оксфордского университета устроили скандал с хозяином из-за, по их мнению, низкого качества подаваемых напитков. Взаимные оскорбления и последующая драка переросли в вооружённые столкновения между жителями и студентами, которые продолжались два дня и жертвами которых стали 63 студента и около 30 горожан. В конце концов студенты потерпели поражение.

Спор был урегулирован властями в пользу университета, в связи с чем был издан специальный указ. С тех пор ежегодно 10 февраля мэр и члены городского совета должны были промаршировать с непокрытой головой по улицам и уплатить университету штраф по одному пенни за каждого убитого студента, то есть всего 5 шиллингов 3 пенса. Наказание оставалось в силе в течение 470 последующих лет и было снято лишь в 1825 году, когда мэр отказался участвовать в церемонии. Формально университет «простил» город 10 февраля 1955 года, когда мэру была присвоена почётная степень, а вице-канцлер был избран почётным горожанином.

 Town and Gown — «город и мантия» — термин, основанный на созвучии этих английских слов, для обозначения горожан и членов университета (используется в контексте конфликтов и других аспектов взаимосуществования Оксфорда и Оксфордского университета).

The temporal order of an experience is a fundamental property of episodic memories, yet the mechanism for the consolidation of temporal sequences in long-term memory is still unknown. A potential mechanism for memory consolidation depends on the reactivation of neuronal sequences in the hippocampus. Despite abundant evidence of sequence reactivation in the formation of spatial memory, the reactivation of hippocampal neuronal sequences carrying non-spatial information has been much less explored. In this work, we recorded the activity of time cell sequences while rats performed multiple 15-s treadmill runnings during the intertrial intervals of a spatial alternation memory task. We observed forward and reverse reactivations of time cell sequences often occurring during sharp-wave ripple events following reward consumption. Surprisingly, the reactivation events specifically engaged cells coding temporal information. The reactivation of time cell sequences may thus reflect the organization of temporal order required for episodic memory formation.

My intention to post here monthly fell apart at the end of 2018. So here it is a new year, a fresh start, and a good time to talk about balance. I obviously lacked a bit of balance when I allowed busyness in the studio, and with life in general, overtake other areas that are also important to me, like posting on this blog! I know it's not easy keeping all the parts of our lives in balance, and it is something I often hear about, the attempt to keep a sense of balance in our lives.


The world's biggest military aircraft developers are constantly improving stealth technology, but they may have met their match.
For the past few decades, true stealth aircraft such as the F-117 and the B-2 have been considered the leading designs, capable of shrouding themselves from almost all radar recognition.
Since then, not only has the technology in the aircraft improved, but so has the technology used to detect them, particularly one recent development.
A team from the University of Waterloo in Canada has revealed what it calls a 'quantum radar system', which can detect stealth aircraft as well as missiles with unparalleled accuracy.
Current stealth aircraft rely on special paint and body design to absorb and deflect the radio waves emitted by the radar tower, in addition to electronic jammers that swamp the tower with artificial noise.
Quantum radar, however, uses a sensing technique called quantum illumination to detect and receive information about an object capable of exposing the aircraft but also, crucially, not alert the pilot that it has been detected.
At its core, the technology leverages the quantum principle of entanglement whereby two photons form a connected or entangled pair. As one of the photons reaches a distant object, the other actually stays behind.
Photons in the return signal are checked for noticeable signatures of entanglement, allowing photons from the noisy environmental background to be discarded, improving the radar signal-to-noise in certain situations.
All that is needed now, the team said, is to realise a fast, on-demand source of entangled photons.
"The goal for our project is to create a robust source of entangled photons that can be generated at the press of a button," said Jonathan Baugh of the research team.
So far, quantum illumination has only been experimented on in the lab but, as tensions with Russia escalate, both Canada and the US are eager to have new systems in place for national security.
This is especially true seeing as radar stations in the Arctic operated by the North American Aerospace Defense Command are nearing the end of their lifespans and could need to be replaced as early as 2025.

Q: Simple way to calculate number of chess material combinations In chess, one player can have different material combinations, for example:
"1 queen, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, 8 pawns + the king" is one combination
if the player loses one bishop:
"1 queen, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 1 bishop, 8 pawns + the king" is another combination
..afterwards, if a pawn is promoted to a knight, then:
"1 queen, 2 rooks, 3 knights, 1 bishop, 7 pawns + the king" is another combination
OK, the following combination is not valid:
"5 queens, 5 rooks, 5 knights, 5 bishops, 2 pawns + the king"
since you lack of pawns to promote. (5 queens = 4 pawns needed) (5 rooks = 3 pawns needed) , etc. so 4 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 13 pawns needed. Since 2 pawns on the board, then at most 6 pawns could be promoted. Not valid.
How many valid material combinations are there?
I computed 8694 combinations using the following C code. The question is:
Do you find simpler/efficient algorithm to calculate it? (less cycles, less calculations, clearer code, etc.) ... or even a math formulae??
total = 0;
for (queens=0;queens<=9;queens++)
for (rooks=0;rooks<=10;rooks++)
for (bishops=0;bishops<=10;bishops++)
for (knights=0;knights<=10;knights++)
for (pawns=0;pawns<=8;pawns++)
{
    pawnsRequested = 0;
    if (queens>1) pawnsRequested += queens - 1;
    if (rooks>2) pawnsRequested += rooks - 2;
    if (bishops>2) pawnsRequested += bishops - 2;
    if (knights>2) pawnsRequested += knights - 2;
    if (8-pawns < pawnsRequested) continue;
    total++;
}
printf("%i\n",total);

A: If the piece types were independent, then we could just multiply: 10 possibilities for the queens times 11 possibilities for the rooks times etc. We need to track pawn usage, however. There's a mathematical trick called generating functions where we can encode the possibilities for, e.g., rooks as
3 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8,

where the power of x denotes the number of pawns used, and the coefficient denotes the number of possibilities. Here, there are three possibilities that require no promoted pawns (0, 1, 2), one that requires one promoted pawn (3), one that requires two promoted pawns (4), etc. Now we can multiply each of the factors together (respectively, queens, rooks, bishops, knights, pawns).
  (2 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8)
* (3 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8)
* (3 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8)
* (3 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8)
* (1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8)

Here it is from Wolfram Alpha.

The coefficients of 1 through x^8, which are the number of possibilities for 0 to 8 pawns required, are 54, 135, 261, 443, 693, 1024, 1450, 1986, 2648, summing to 8694.

The Power Vertical
The Morning Vertical, March 30, 2016
By Brian Whitmore
The Kremlin continues to add insult to injury in the case of kidnapped Ukrainian military pilot Nadia Savchenko. It's almost as if the Russian authorities are going out of their way to be as insulting as possible. The latest example, of course, was yesterday's proposal, floated in the Russian media, to exchange her for convicted arms smuggler Viktor Bout and convicted narcotics trafficker Konstantin Yaroshenko -- both of whom are incarcerated in the United States. Geoffrey Pyatt, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, was absolutely correct to call the proposal "laughable." But as laughable as it may be, Moscow's attempts at whataboutism in the Savchenko case are far from funny.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the bombing of two police cars in Russia's North Caucasus region of Daghestan.
Vladimir Putin has called on Europe to restore military-technical cooperation with Russia.
Authorities in Latvia have blocked the pro-Kremlin news website Sputnik, calling it a propaganda tool.
The Russian Defense Ministry has announced plans to buy five monkeys for research purposes. The type of research is unclear.
The political crisis in Ukraine continues as parties failed to form a new governing coalition.
Anarchy In Eurasia?
Russia and China are both heading for hard times, and that could spell chaos for the Eurasian landmass. This is the conclusion author and foreign affairs analyst Robert Kaplan comes to in his essay in Foreign Affairs, "Eurasia's Coming Anarchy."
"Policymakers in Washington had better start planning now for the potential chaos to come: a Kremlin coup, a partial breakup of Russia, an Islamic terrorist campaign in western China, factional fighting in Beijing, and political turbulence in Central Asia, although not probable, are all increasingly possible," Kaplan wrote.
Meanwhile, Dmitry Trenin of the Moscow Carnegie Center peers into the future with his piece, "A Five-Year Outlook for Russian Foreign Policy: Demands, Drivers, and Influences."
"Russia finds itself again at a crossroads with a three-way choice: reform the economy and dismantle the existing politico-economic setup; go for a wholesale economic mobilization dominated by the state; or keep the system intact and face the prospect of continued decline and possibly an upheaval in the end. In the next five years, some sort of a choice between these three options will have to be made," Trenin wrote.
More On The Drawdown That Wasn't
Russian air power in Syria remains robust according to the Israeli Air Force.
A report by Reuters, meanwhile, claims that Russia is actually shipping more military equipment to Syria than it is removing.
And more and more information is coming to light about the role of Russia's special forces in Syria. The Washington Post has a piece looking at their role in the capture of Palmyra.
Former Kremlin Insider Speaks
The Russian mass-circulation daily Moskovsky Komsomolets has a wide ranging interview with former Kremlin insider Gleb Pavlovsky, in which he discusses the events leading to Putin turning the presidency over to Dmitry Medvedev in 2008, the so-called "castling" of 2011, and the Kremlin's reaction to the Euromaidan revolution in Ukraine.
The Battle For The Arctic
James Bamford has a piece in Foreign Policy on the battle for the Arctic. "If Vienna was the crossroads of human espionage during the Cold War, a hub of safe houses where spies for the East and the West debriefed agents and eyed each other in cafes, it's fair to say that the Arctic has become the crossroads of technical espionage today," Bamford wrote.
Meanwhile, In Ukraine
Hannah Thoburn of the Hudson Institute has a piece up on The Atlantic Council's website arguing that as Russia's relations with Turkey get worse, Ankara's relations with Kyiv get better
Anton Shekhovtsov of the Legatum Institute takes a look at why the majority of Dutch voters are against an association agreement with Ukraine
The Vast Anti-Russian Media Conspiracy
Who are the most anti-Russian media in the world according to the Putin regime? A better question might be who isn't. According to a new report by The Russian Institute of Strategic Studies, a Kremlin-connected think tank, the list includes some of the world's most venerable news organizations: Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal from the United States, The Guardian, the Financial Times, and the BBC from the U.K., and Le Monde and Le Figaro from France.
Russian Espionage Tactics In The Baltics
Authorities in Riga says Russian intelligence is using threats and blackmail to force cooperation from Latvian citizens.
Pipeline Politics

More than 68 minutes of music, including 40 minutes of music never released before.
Limited Edition of 750 units.
After the previous CD releases of the television works of Georges Delerue (Les Visiteurs, L'Homme qui revient de loin, Le Mythomane and L'Éducation sentimentale, Thibaud ou les Croisades), Music Box Records is very pleased to explore once more the television scope of Georges Delerue's music and presents the complete score to the 1980 TV drama series Les Chevaux du soleil (Horses of the Sun, 1980) directed by François Villiers (TV series Les Chevaliers du ciel).
Adapted from Jules Roy's historical novel of the French presence in North Africa, the TV series follows the destiny of two families, the Bouychous and the Parises, from the conquest of Algiers in 1830 to the Independence in 1962.
For this lavish mini-series, Georges Delerue established the various moods of his epic-scale score with his unrivalled melodic and lyrical style. In addition to the war themes and the picturesque ones, the composer chose to highlight the moving fate of some characters for full orchestra with colorful music and exotic touches.
This expanded edition, fully remastered from the original recording sessions, features 40 minutes of previously unreleased music and includes an 8-page booklet with liner notes by Gilles Loison, discussing the TV series and the score.

SUNY announces expansion to mental health services for students
by: Isabella Colello
BROOKLYN, N.Y. (WWTI) — The State University of New York has launched a new plan to expand access to mental health services for all 64 campuses.
State University of New York Chancellor Jim Malatras announced a comprehensive plan for all campuses following a nationwide uptick in mental health and wellness brought on by COVID-19.
"This has been a particularly difficult time and it has taken a toll, so by expanding available student mental health support services—and shattering the stigma that may be associated with seeking them out—students will be able to get the support they need, be it a long-term treatment for a specific issue, or when they just feel down and need someone to connect with," stated Chancellor Malatras.
According to Chancellor Malatras, SUNY is partnering with Thriving Campus, a HIPAA- compliant web application that connects on-campus counseling services and local mental health and wellness service providers. SUNY and Thriving Campus will provide access to over 6,000 licensed mental health service providers for all students.
SUNY stated that the application, already used at several campuses, "breaks down a number of crucial, often overlooked barriers that students frequently encounter in the process of reaching out for help."
Additionally, Chancellor Malatras announced a new partnership between SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and SUNY Upstate Medical University. The two will provide a "hub" for student tele-counselling. Tele-counseling will offer cognitive behavioral therapy, consultative services for clinicians and crisis assistance.
Corresponding with the expansion of services, SUNY Chancellor Malatras launched a public awareness campaign titled #ReachOutSUNY. The campaign will provide education on services and help stray from mental health stigmas.
