Fight against corruption
The fight against corruption is a priority for the Belgian Government and is included in the National Security Plan. Widespread corruption is a plague that acts as a major obstacle to a country's sustainable economic development and heightens economic and social inequalities. Corruption is also an important source of resources for organised crime and the financing of terrorism.
The fight against corruption is one of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda (SDG 16: Peace, justice, and inclusive institutions; SDG 16.5 "Substantially reduce corruption and bribery in all their forms)."
Since 2019, a rule of law assessment mechanism has been established within the European Union. The assessment work is focused on 4 main pillars: the justice system, the anti-corruption framework, media pluralism and other institutional checks and balances.
The fight against corruption is closely linked to the due diligence for responsible business conduct to prevent negative impacts of their activities on human rights, environment, and corruption.
In Belgium, corruption is governed by the Penal Code, modified by the Law of 10 February 1999 (itself adapted by the Law of 11 May 2007). Articles 246 and subsequent of the Penal Code concern public corruption and Articles 504bis and subsequent of the same Code concern private corruption.
At international level, Belgium is a signatory of the following Conventions:
The United Nations Convention against Corruption (31 October 2003)
It is the only universal convention fighting corruption. As a signatory State, our country is evaluated for its effective application of the provisions of these conventions through a Peer Review evaluation mechanism. The State under review is assessed by two States Parties designated by random draw. All States Parties must be evaluated in each review cycle, which lasts 5 years. At the end of the State review, an analytical summary is published on the website of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
The FPS Foreign Affairs facilitates the political and inter-institutional coordination of the international review and monitoring mechanisms with which Belgium must comply. Belgium has recommended a good governance methodology as part of this international monitoring process. This tool invites international organisations to strengthen their synergies and coordination to avoid the duplication of these evaluations.
In 2016, Belgium completed its first review cycle, which covered chapters III – Incrimination, and IV – International cooperation. The second review cycle covers chapters II – Prevention, and V – Asset Recovery. The summaries of the review cycles can be found here.
In October 2016, Belgium also ratified the six principles that guarantee the transparency of the Convention review process, to promote the involvement of civil society
Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, 17 December 1997)
To make businesses working in international markets aware of the risks posed by corruption, the national contact point for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines within the Federal Public Service Economy and the FPS Justice have developed an Anti-Corruption Guide for Belgian enterprises overseas. This guide enables them to better comply with the rules for combating the corruption of foreign public officials in international business transactions:
By way of guidelines, the FPS Foreign Affairs has sent the 2017 OECD Due Diligence Guidance for enterprises to all diplomatic posts in order to provide Belgian businesses abroad with practical tools for dealing with corruption.
A memorandum of understanding was signed in October 2015 by the FPS Foreign Affairs and FPS Justice. It states that if Belgian diplomatic posts abroad have information regarding corruption that may involve Belgian businesses abroad, they must immediately inform the Directorate General of Multilateral and Global Affairs of the SPF Foreign Affairs, which will send the accusation to the relevant authority. The FPS Justice forwards this information to the Federal Prosecutor.
Criminal Law Convention on Corruption (Council of Europe, 27 January 1999)
This Convention targets active and passive corruption in the public and private sectors. Belgium is also part of the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), which monitors the application of the Convention in the Member States.
Civil Law Convention on Corruption (Council of Europe, 4 November 1999)
Convention on the fight against corruption involving officials of the European Communities or officials of Member States of the European Union (Council of the European Union, 26 May 1997)
Money laundering is the hiding of capital or funds whose origins are known to be illegal (drugs, extortion, scams, arms sales, fraud, etc.).
In Belgium, the Financial Intelligence Processing Unit (CTIF) is at the heart of the Belgian preventive mechanism combating the laundering of money of criminal origin, the financing of terrorism and proliferation. The CTIF also chairs the Assembly of partners, which is part of the Coordination College for the fight against the laundering of money of illicit origin. This Assembly works in money laundering risks and preventive policy. Together with the other partners, it is responsible for drawing up a risk analysis for money laundering.
The Law of 18 September 2017 transposes Directive (EU) 2015/849 of 20 May 2015 on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing, amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Directive 2005/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directive 2006/70/EC.
There are two components to the fight against money laundering:
Preventive aspect: the system created a duty of collaboration and transmission of information on the part of the bodies and persons targeted by this law, with the purposes of detecting suspicious financial operations and informing the CTIF to this effect (duty to report);
Enforcement component: Article 505 of the Penal Code. This article covers three types of behaviour that are likely to constitute the crime of laundering:
dealing in stolen goods: having bought, received in exchange or free of charge, possessed, kept or managed material benefits that are the result of an offence;
the conversion or transfer of these material benefits with the aim of hiding or disguising their illegal origin;
the hiding or disguising of the nature, origin, location, positioning, movement, or ownership of the material benefits. This is aimed primarily at the use of frontmen, figureheads or shell companies and recourse to companies or financial institutions located in offshore territories or tax havens, etc.
The Law of 5 May 2019 containing various provisions amends the Code of Criminal Procedure. It allows for a better exchange and circulation of information between the various authorities responsible for combating money laundering. It now authorises the public prosecutor to request the necessary information on the products, services and transactions of a financial nature, and the virtual assets concerning the suspect, from:
the institutions referred to in Article 5, § 1, 3° to 22° of the law of 18 September 2017 on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, and limiting the use of cash;
the Central point of contact of the National Bank of Belgium, in accordance with the law of 8 July 2018 on the organisation of a central contact point for financial accounts and contracts and on extending access to the central file of notices of seizure, delegation, transfer, collective settlement of debts and recourse.
In addition, when the CTIF has transmitted information to the common databases in accordance with Article 44/11/3ter, § 4 of the Law of 5 August 1992 on the police function, all relevant information may be communicated to all services which, pursuant to that Law, or its implementing decrees, have direct access to all or part of the personal data and information contained in those common databases. This information may only be used by these services for the purposes for which they have access to the common databases.
The financing of terrorism and of its proliferation
The fight against terrorism and its financing is part of the National Security Plan. To assist it in its mandate, Belgium can count on the 40 recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) against money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation.
These recommendations are divided into 4 groups:
legal system (Recommendations 1, 2, 3);
measures to be taken by Financial Institutions and Non-Financial Businesses and Professions to prevent Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Recommendations 4 to 25);
institutional and other measures necessary in systems for combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Recommendations 26 to 34);
international cooperation (Recommendations 35 to 40).
The FATF has 38 members and two regional organisations, the European Union, and the Gulf Cooperation Council. It was set up in 1989 by the G7 and operates based on peer evaluation.
Belgium was evaluated at the Group's plenary meeting in February 2015. This evaluation, known as Phase IV, covered technical compliance (to what extent the Member State's legislation complies with the standards of the Group) and effectiveness (to what extent these recommendations are effective).
Belgium must now respond to the Group's remarks to be considered fully compliant with the 40 recommendations.

You guys know by now how much I love in-universe drawing and writing within comics. A LOT is how much. I felt like this whole sequence needed another quiet moment here before we move on and resolve the bassists-got-switched-around stuff.
When I was first making up these characters, I remember writing out a list of a bunch of facts and traits about each of them — and one of hers was "fills up a lot of crazy-looking notebooks". I think this might be, in general, one of my all-time favorite traits for a person to have.
Thaaanks! Swirly notebook drawings are basically my favorite thing.
I just read your most recent Tumblr post and wanted you to know that I love your comic. I get really excited when the update posts, it's pretty much the first thing I check online every Monday. I see how much fun you are having with Band vs Band and it inspires me to work on my drawing skills and make a webcomic of my own. Your colors and art style are wonderful, the story-line draws me in completely, and I wish the characters were real people. You've created an awesome little world.
OK, I'm gonna stop this before it gets even more gushy, but I just wanted you to hear it since you made that post. Thanks so much for doing this!
Aw, hey, thank you! I'm super glad you enjoy it, and that really does mean a lot to me, that you'd take the time to let me know. Also: yes: I highly encourage you to keep working on your own comics! I'm really flattered that my stuff would inspire anyone else's comixmaking, and I'd like to see what you come up with.
It really is a lot of fun. I mean, yeah, I have my low moments with it (as evidenced with that post), but I really do love making comics, and I'm very attached to this world.

Posts tagged 'Rachel McAdams'
Fall Movie Guide 2010
It's that wonderful time of year again where the movie studios decide they should release a zillion good movies at once, forcing us to go broke trying to keep up. Since television has hit a lull, I thought I'd mix it up a bit and do a movie preview and hit the highlights of the films on the horizon.
Megamind staring Brad Pitt and Will Ferrell
Megamind – Release November 5th
***Dreamworks latest movie franchise, Megamind, sits ready to join the ranks of their other hugely successful animated flicks How to Train Your Dragon and Shrek. With a cast led by Will Ferrell and Brad Pitt, Megamind is an age old tale of superhero verses villain, but with a twist that finds the evil genius Megamind having to use his powers for good. Look for it to match Dragons in popularity and if nothing else, check it out because it's the only time you're going to get Will Ferrell and Brad Pitt in the same movie.
Due Date – Release November 5
***Continuing his streak of successful films, Robert Downey Jr returns to the screen in this comedy co-starring Zach Galifianakis, where a father-to-be RDJ has to hitch a ride with the crazy that is ZG in order to make the birth of his child. Expect The Hangover type hi jinx to ensue and if nothing else, it's ZG and RDJ in the same movie.
Unstoppable- November 12
***In Tony Scott's latest action thriller, Chris Pine and Denzel Washington have to work together to stop an unmanned train from wiping out a city. Sounds riveting…Though the description is less than engaging, the actors are solid and it takes a lot for a Denzel Washington movie to suck so I have faith that it will make for a decent action thriller.
Morning Glory – Release November 10
***An all star cast backed by a random production team including J. J. Abrams puts this romantic dramedy in a bizarre place of fascination and fear. It's been a while since Diane Keaton's had a hit, sure, but her previous showing with Rachel McAdams proved fruitful and Harrison Ford adds an interesting twist to the cast. Plus, Patrick Wilson, who is delicious. See it if you're in the mood, but it sounds like one to rent next year.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I – Release November 19
Harry Potter 7 parts I and II
***Excuse me while I do the Harry Potter geek dance of happiness…ok, I'm good. In the penultimate installment in this masterful series, Harry and his Scooby Gang (because let's face it, HP is epic, but at heart it's one long episode of Scooby Doo), begin taking their final steps toward a knock down drag out fight with Voldemort. At this point, I don't even know what to think anymore. It seems to be an every other franchise so this one will suck and the next one will be good? Who knows – see it anyway.
Burlesque – Release Date: November 24
***Cher and Christina Aguilera. That is all.
The Tourist – Release Date December 10
***So it really doesn't sound all that different from Angelina Jolie's last few movies, but it does have the distinction of having both Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany in it. In other words, if it sucks, it's all her fault.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader– Release date: December 10
***The third installment in the Narnia film series follows the youngest of the Pevensie siblings on their journey across the sea with Prince Caspian. The first two movies showed a lot of promise and I would expect this one to carry on that success. Plus, Ben Barnes is back as Prince Caspian, so yum.
Tron: Legacy-Release date December 17
***Garrett Hedlund, my beloved Patroclus from Troy, plays the lead in this video game based action movie. Tron was before my time so I don't know much about it, but the cinematography and action sequences look amazing, so I would expecta strong visual effects showing if nothing else.
Yogi Bear – Release date: December 17
***Dan Aykroyd as Yogi, Justin Timberlake as Boo Boo. 'Nough said.
We'll leave everything Christmas and beyond for another time since that seems to be quite the treasure trove/snake pit. Anyone have any they think should be added?

Oregon State played well, especially considering they were short handed going into the game, and then got beat up some more. But with the game tied just past the mid-way point in the 4th quarter, Stanford did what Stanford does. The Cardinal ate up nearly 5 ½ minutes, kicked the go ahead field goal, fought a rear guard action to bleed away most of the rest of the game, and then forced a fumble, the only one of the game the Beavers suffered. It was the only turnover by either team in their last 2 meetings.
As a result, the Cardinal got out of Reser Stadium with a 27-24 win, and Oregon State continued to have a "Stanford problem".
The Cardinal spent the week in the hotel across the street from Reser Stadium, after being exiled by Santa Clara county Covid restrictions that force the game to be moved from Palo Alto to Corvallis. Stanford Coach David Shaw even declared his team residents of Corvallis. As such, they made themselves comfortable enough to win their 3rd close game in 4 years in Reser.
Chance Nolan, in his second start for Oregon State in place of the injured Tristan Gebbia, who suffered a hamstring injury late in the win over Oregon, and had season ending surgery this week, improved markedly over his first start.

Oregon State Has A Stanford Problem
Oregon State had a Stanford problem Saturday night. Again.
For the 10th time in 10 years, Stanford found a way to win a game against Oregon State, and Beaver fans came away from the contest frustrated.
In the decade, Oregon State has had some good teams, some that were at least capable of competing for a while, and some that were flat out uncompetitive. Especially against Stanford. During that time, the Cardinal have had a lot of good teams, and some that were not as good as their record. This year's Stanford squad looks like it fits in the latter grouping.
But as usual, Stanford was better when it mattered, even if not overall, and got the 31-28 win.
The game was delayed 15 minutes by a thunderstorm, and then the first quarter was played in a deluge. For some reason, most of normal warmups after the local lightning strike were skipped, as was the National Anthem. Despite the disruption, Oregon State started the game with a lot of energy. Perhaps because of the disruption, the Beavers played the first half, without the focus to match that energy.

New York -- Thirty-four high school students have announced publication of their book "The High School Truth," which is composed of first-person insights of life in high school.
"The High School Truth" presents itself in short story format and holds sixty-six tips and stories from students who represent the collective nature of the American teenager attempting to survive and thrive in high school. The project is entirely student run with no contributor older than eighteen years old.
Stories range from "Avoid Awkward Mondays," which is about a young man negotiating his way through a Monday morning at school, to "Paychecks and Lack Thereof," which details a young woman trying to land her first job.
Students who contributed to the book include state champion debaters, YouTube stars and Ivy League attendees. The book also includes students who have struggled with their sexualities, battled mental illness and helped their families through difficult times.


Let's take a look some digital currencies you have surely heard of and some that are newer, less popular but have great potential in the future.
You might be wondering like many others: whether the crypto is the next big thing?
It all started in 2008 when a person (or people, who knows?) Satoshi Nakamoto created something they called "a peer-to-peer electronic cash system." Simply said, using the so-called blockchain technology, Nakamoto created the first digital money or as we know it cryptocurrency.
Ever since then, hundreds of new, different and innovative digital currencies have appeared.
Let's take a look at those you have surely heard of and some that are newer, less popular but have great potential in the future.
No middleman required anymore. The process of sending money is between person A and person B. No banks, no hefty commissions.
The whole network which uses the blockchain approves all payments. The whole community jointly manages all the data and transactions. There isn't a central bank, like the ECB or the Fed.
Virtually, anyone who has internet connection can have access to cryptocurrencies. All you need to do is have a legit email to use when setting up an account or download an app if the cryptocurrency is still in its alpha stage.
As a rule transactions between people who own a particular cryptocurrency are free of charge and fees. Keep in mind that in order to use that, you need a wallet. Just like PayPal, they might impose some fees.
Because of the blockchain technology, transactions and money transfers are safe. However, be careful as there are many scams out there purporting to be cryptocurrencies. In fact, they do not use blockchain technology, which a typical sign of fraudulent companies.
Everything happens so fast. Traditional money transfers usually take one or several days to be processed. For businesses, this could be crucial.
Again because of the blockchain technology, everything is transparent and recorded on the blockchain. All the information is stored there, and cannot be deleted or amended.
Talking about cryptocurrencies, we have to pay our respects to the pioneer Bitcoin. This is the first decentralized digital currency. The price of Bitcoin has been increasing ever since its introduction. For example, in February the value of Bitcoin stood at $1,000 and currently it is $6,682. Keep in mind that the price is pretty volatile and might change drastically on a daily basis.
The first way you can do it is by mining your own coins – buy a bitcoin mining hardware. Before doing that, you might be interested in making some calculations – use this app to see whether mining will be a profitable option.
Another way is to simply go to an exchange and buy some coins.
The last option is to invest in mutual funds that purchase bitcoins.
More and more businesses and people alike use it as a legal payment method.
More and more people invest in bitcoin and diversify their portfolios.
This is maybe the second most popular and known cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. Actually, Ethereum is a whole community, something like a network of people using the cryptocurrency, which is called Ether. As you can see, Ethereum uses a slightly different blockchain technology which allows people to use it for more than just money transfers.
This digital currency was launched in 2015 and speaking of technology is relatively new. So, the expected growth potential, given the fact more and more businesses are looking for innovative business solutions, is enormous.
In order to use Ethereum, you need a digital wallet, for example, Coinbase which is a free app.
To start with, Ethereum price is stable and not as volatile as Bitcoin.
In addition, due to differences in blockchain technology, Ethereum blockchain makes transactions significantly faster than those on Bitcoin.
You are investing in a network, not just cryptocurrency.
Ethereum boasts a great team of developers and professionals.
Another fan-favorite and the so-called "silver" in the digital money industry. Litecoin was created in 2011 by Charles Lee and according to coinmarketcap is the fourth largest cryptocurrency when it comes to market capitalization.
Even though Litecoin is also a peer-to-peer payment system, there are some differences between it and Bitcoin. They result in much faster transactions than those happening in the Bitcoin blockchain.
Why is it a good investment?
well, currently one coin costs $41. Given the ever-increasing popularity and use of cryptocurrencies, especially those that have been on the market for years, it's safe to predict the price will increase in the long-run. For six months, between March and July, the price jumped by more than 1,000% from $3.8 to almost $50. Besides, the number of coins is 84 million compared to Bitcoin's maximum supply of 21 million.
So, if you want to take advantage of all the fad around Bitcoin, why not buy something that costs less than $50 and has a huge growth potential?
Ripple is a relatively new solution and has been making some incredible progress this year. For the second quarter, the price of the currency increased by some $3,800%, and from almost $0 it reached $0.26. Despite the fact that currently, the price stands at $0.17, the growth is still quite impressive.
What makes Ripple so different and attractive?
Well, Ripple uses a relatively less decentralized approach when it comes to making and processing transactions because they collaborate with banks all over the world. More than 100 banks worldwide use the system, and some of them include Abu Dhabi Bank, Standard Chartered, BMO Financial Group, and Shanghai Huarui Bank.
XRP is the underlying currency, and it solves the problem of processing and transferring money between banks by making it much faster and safer.
So, when banks and the latest and hottest technology go hand in hand, the future seems more than bright.
Factom is more like a business solution than a real cryptocurrency. While Bitcoin and Ethereum offer primarily monetary transactions, Factom's main goal is to provide businesses with a safe record-keeping system. The factoid is the name of the underlying token (just like Ether in Ethereum).
It allows companies, governments, even schools to safely store information on a protocol built on top of Bitcoin. The team of Factom is currently developing other protocols using other cryptocurrency blockchains as a further measure to make data even more protected. So, what makes Factom so special is the fact that it is not just a payment method. It promises data and information security and protection.
For companies, finding the most secure and advanced technology to protect their information is key. Certainly, many will trust Factom and its price will surely increase in the future.
Broadly speaking, Sia is a decentralized cloud storage. So, members of this network can rent their storage and get paid for it. This sounds like a cool and innovative idea to me. Once you find a fellow who wants to borrow some storage, you "sign" a contract. It is called a "smart contract" and verifies the payment.
Not many people know about the range of possibilities this cryptocurrency offers. This is what makes it a hot shot in the future to come. Undoubtedly, it has lots of potential.
This project uses Ethereum blockchain to store data and process information. Some people consider it the world's "most powerful decentralised supercomputer." Not only can you keep a record of transactions but also do research or even let the "computer" predict stock movements in the market.
The token they use is GNT (Golem Network Token).

Q: WebGL: vec2 multiplied by 1 breaks texture coordinates I have got a texture bound to a framebuffer object so I can render to this texture. Because the canvas/viewport may be smaller than the texture, I multiply the texture coordinates by the current scale (canvas size/texture size) to get the correct position.
The line in the fragment shader to get the correct color from the texture looks as follows:
vec4 rtt = texture2D(rtt_sampler, v_texCoord * u_scale);

This works perfectly fine but if u_scale is exactly 1.0 everything breaks. I don't get the correct color but always the same, regardless the coordinates (it may be 0.5 but I haven't tested it yet). Do you have any idea what could be the cause of this?

Do you know the specialty foods of Kyoto?
Can you imagine what is the most important material for them?
There are so many active wells which have good quality water in Kyoto.
I have ever been water spots a lot in Kyoto, but I think the spring water at Kamenoi in Matsuo Taisha Shrine is the best and really amazing!
It is fresh, mild, magically sweet and very tasty. I understand why Matsuo Taisha is so-called "The Shrine of Sake". This water must be the gift from the god!
Please visit there carrying empty bottle when you are going to Arashiyama where is the most popular place in Kyoto.
Don't forget to carry empty bottle!
You have to pay admission charge (500yen as of Feb 2015) for entering Kamenoi and gardens.

Mennitz, Russell Alfred
I, Christopher Webster, Coroner, having investigated the death of
Russell Alfred MENNITZ
(a) Russell Alfred Mennitz died on 4 June 2011 at 11.30 am on the Anthony Link Road in Queenstown, Tasmania, aged 74 years.
(b) Mr Mennitz was born in Queenstown, Tasmania on the 24 of July 1936. He was a retired chief purchasing officer and was widowed.
(c) Mr Mennitz died as a result of probable traumatic positional asphyxia following a motor vehicle crash.
Mr Mennitz was born in Queenstown, Tasmania. He was married to Gaye and three children were born to this relationship. Gaye passed away in 1994 and Mr Mennitz remained single after her death.
Mr Mennitz had served in the Australian Navy early in his career before working with the Mount Lyell Mine as a Chief Purchasing Officer. He retired in 1993-1994.
On retirement, Mr Mennitz was very community minded. He drove the Queenstown community bus for a number of years and also for the Red Cross. It appears that Mr Mennitz knew the roads of the West Coast well and was an experienced driver in all weather conditions.
Mr Mennitz had a significant medical history that included atherosclerotic coronary disease, chronic lymphoma and leukaemia.
Circumstances surrounding death :
On 3 of June 2011, Mr Mennitz and his daughter, Jodi Valk, enjoyed a trip to Strahan. Mr Mennitz was described as being in good spirits. Ms Valk was to fly home to Queensland the following day and they both stayed overnight in Wynyard to connect with an early morning flight.
In the early morning of 4 June 2011, Mr Mennitz drove his daughter to the airport. Mr Mennitz stated that he had not slept well and had a headache. He indicated that he was tired. Mrs Valk told her father to set his alarm on his mobile phone and have a sleep until 9.30am.
At around 9am, Mr Mennitz visited a close friend, Mr O'Neil, in Burnie and departed at around 10am. Mr O'Neil stated in an affidavit that Mr Mennitz eseemed a bit off, was quieter than usual and looked a bit greyf.
Mr Mennitz has commenced his drive back to Queenstown. The travelling time would be estimated at two (2) hours.
At 11.30am, Mr Mennitz was located deceased in his 2006 Hyundai Terracan four wheel drive on a straight section of the Anthony Link Road, Queenstown. The location of the crash was approximately 30 minutes away from his Queenstown residence.
The vehicle had sustained significant crush damage to the roof and drivers side door. Mr Mennitz was positioned in the driver's seat, his seat belt engage. It was noted that the vehicle's airbags had not deployed. The speed limit was 100km/h and the prevailing weather at the time of the crash was cold and windy. The road was mostly dry.
Investigations revealed Mr Mennitz's vehicle had been travelling south towards Queenstown well within the speed limit. The evidence shows that Mr Mennitz's vehicle has left the road and travelled some twenty (20) metres off road before impacting heavily with an embankment, rolling and coming to rest upside down in a ditch. A trail of debris followed the vehicle. There were no brake or skid marks on the road surface. The scene indicated that no other vehicles had been involved in the accident as there were no damage traces or secondary tyre and wheel marks present.
A subsequent inspection of the vehicle by Crash Investigation Services and Transport Inspectors concluded that there was no vehicle fault that caused or contributed to the crash.
A post mortem examination was conducted for Forensic Pathologist, Dr Don Ritchey. He determined the cause of Mr Mennitzfs death was probable traumatic positional asphyxia following a motor vehicle crash. Significant contributing factors were severe atherosclerotic coronary vascular disease, obesity and chronic lymphoma.
Dr Ritchey reported the following opinion:
"…Mr Mennitz has likely died of asphyxia that resulted from the combined effects of compression by the roof of the overturned car and an expanding haematoma in the neck caused by a fracture of the cervical spinal column. Although the possibility that a natural event preceded the crash cannot be excluded; I believe this death is best described as accidental in manner..."
Toxicology of a post mortem blood sample revealed 'paracetamol 6mg/L2 : therapeutic; warfarin 0.7 mg/L : sub-therapeutic'. Paracetamol or Warfarin would not generally be expected impair driving ability or performance.
I am satisfied, as detailed above, that vehicle defects, driving experience, weather and road conditions and any suggestion of untoward driving behaviour can be eliminated as contributors or causes for Mr Mennitz's vehicle leaving the road.
Mr Mennitz had a significant medical history and I concur with Dr Ritchey's opinion that there was a possibility that Mr Mennitz had an unexplained natural event whilst driving that contributed to the crash. In my view, based on the evidence supplied, fatigue must also be considered as a possible contributing factor. Accordingly, I find that there was an involuntary loss of control over the vehicle leading to the ultimate crash.
Mr Mennitz died as a result of probable traumatic positional asphyxia following a single motor vehicle crash resulting from impact damage and associated injuries.
I convey my sincere condolences to Mr Mennitz's family.
DATED: 15 December 2011 at Hobart in Tasmania.

Baby bird takes its own Uber to Utah wildlife rescue
By Gretel Kauffman @gretelkauffman
Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah
A baby lesser goldfinch arrived at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of northern Utah in its own Uber last weekend.
Think Uber meets bus: Will a public ride-hailing service succeed in Utah?
OGDEN — A local wildlife rescue is giving a good Samaritan five stars for his creative approach to saving an abandoned baby bird.
Staff were surprised, to say the least, when a tiny, dehydrated bird arrived at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah last weekend — unaccompanied and in its own Uber.
The bird, now known as "Petey," was discovered by a man who'd "had a few too many" drinks that day, according to a Facebook post from the center. The man called the center and was encouraged to bring the bird in. But there was just one problem: He was too intoxicated to drive.
An hour or two later, the orphaned lesser goldfinch rolled up, quite literally, to the wildlife center. The man had called an Uber for the bird, employees of the center learned, and sent it on its way.
"I was like, 'Wow, that's a first,'" the center's executive director, Dalyn Marthaler, recalled.
3 comments on this story
While Petey was thin and struggling when he first arrived at the center, by Wednesday he was healthy and "thriving," Marthaler said. It's expected that he'll stay there for another four to six weeks.
Marthaler encourages anyone who finds a sick, injured or otherwise struggling animal to contact the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah or other nearby wildlife rescue for help right away.
Would she like to see more animals arrive by ride-share in the future?
"I don't know how Uber feels about that," Marthaler said with a laugh, "but get them in any way you can."

Estée Lauder Uses Digital Magazine to Relaunch Product Line
By Marriska Fernandes on August 9, 2013
Estée Lauder is set to make a powerful impact in the luxury department by relaunching its Advanced Night Repair serum campaign via a digital magazine. The magazine is available on a social application called Flipboard. It provides a chunk of content from well-known Hearst magazines, including: Elle, Harper's Bazaar and Marie Claire.
"Flipboard is a convenient app where women are already engaged with lifestyle content," says Gustavo Andriani, vice president of North America marketing at Estée Lauder, New York.
By teaming up with Flipboard, Estee Lauder hopes to reinvent and capture a greater audience for its Advanced Night Repair serum. The fact that established publications are writing for the beauty book simply adds to the products credibility and draws a larger target market.
The beauty book includes 24 articles, which have an underlining theme of sleep restoration. Readers can either like the page or "reflip" it to their followers. This is definitely a strategy that gives Estée Lauder a leverage in the market.

From chicken paintings, artist finds solo voice
Friday October 07 2016
Florence Wangui came onto the Kenyan contemporary art scene like a bright, shiny comet in 2014 after joining the GoDown Art Centre the previous year and taking part in one of its group exhibitions.
Distinctive for her delicate charcoal drawings of chickens, each with its own apparent attitude and personality, Florence was soon invited by Carol Lees to become one of the One Off Gallery artists.
But then, in another flash, she seems to disappear. It was months later that we learned Florence was doing something in a church. Little did we know that she'd accepted a job to work on a major project at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Kericho.
A Scottish glass artist John Kenneth Clark had seen one of her drawings in a Muthaiga Club show and followed up since he needed to find a local who was an excellent draughtsman.
Stations of cross
Not only that, she or he had to be prepared to spend a good chunk of time outside Nairobi, collaborating with him on creating several series of glass or bronze relief sculpted panels for the cathedral.
Florence had been recommended highly by Carol; her primary task was to be drawing the designs for The 14 Stations of the Cross and The Mysteries of Christ. When she met John at One Off Gallery, she accepted the challenge.
"I just wanted to learn," Florence told BDLife at the opening of her ongoing solo exhibition at One Off gallery, cryptically entitled ''Denial.''
What she didn't know at the time was how extensive the learning process would be and how John was prepared to involve her in the complex process of creating all of the glass and bronze panels. "Florence has essentially been attending an advanced course in fine art," said Carol, who from the start had faith that the 26-year-old artist was capable of performing the job, even though her academic background had never been in fine art.
Florence had studied zoological sciences at Kenyatta University, but she'd been drawing (and living with) chickens virtually all her life.
The number of new skills, materials and artistic techniques that she learned in the process of creating bronze relief panels for the cathedral's front doors and glass-sculpted panels for both the interior and exterior is incredible.
Some of the fruits of that creative learning process are currently on display at One Off Gallery in Florence's second solo exhibition. The first was in 2014.
She's got a few charcoal drawings in the show; but most of it is a series of sculpted relief plaster 'paintings' and several glass pieces, including one that would have been in the Cathedral, but somehow it got one small crack.
Jesus on glass
Still the three dimensional portrait of Jesus in sculpted glass being taking down from the cross is most moving and beautiful.
Several other coloured glass works are portraits of her beloved chicken, an image that takes on symbolic significance in her 'Denial' series where it's the cock that's present to rouse the man who she describes as 'in denial' of certain things that he needs to 'come clean' about before he can be truly free.
Charcoal paintings
Florence doesn't elaborate on which men are the ones needing to be honest with themselves. But what's clear in both her charcoal on paper drawings and her sculpted relief plaster paintings is that the cock is almost like a Christ character who challenged prospective followers to "know the truth and the truth shall make you free."
Otherwise, there is little in her exhibition that exposes us to the remarkable work that she and John have completed thus far.
She does have two lovely Renaissance-styled sculpted plaster paintings, one of the Last Supper, the other of Jesus at Cana turning water into wine, both of which clearly reveal why John felt good about mentoring this talented artist who mastered his lessons more quickly than he'd thought imaginable.
The one item in the exhibition that offers the clearest idea of the hard work that both Florence and John put in to creating the 14 Stations of the Cross and 10 'Mysteries' is a video that John made and which breaks down this complex process into steps that even laymen can appreciate.

Finnish Baroque Orchestra's second release of Christoph Graupner's (1683–1760) music continues to reveal delightful masterpieces by the Baroquemaster, who November 2014 during his lifetime was even more well known than his colleague Johann Sebastian Bach. After the acclaimed release of Graupner's orchestral works (ODE12202; The Finnish broadcasting company YLE Record of the Year 2013), this new album focuses on some of the chamber works by Graupner – the Trio Sonatas. Graupner was extremely productive as a composer, with a catalogue of over 2'000 works varying from orchestral works to cantatas, concertos and chamber music. He also possessed a unique personal style of writing music and often favoured certain rarer instruments in his works. Among these are the viola d'amore as well as the chalumeau, both instruments being heard also on this disc. From his contemporaries Graupner's music stands out with its exceptional command of melody and harmony.
Humphrey Lyttleton's a British bandleader, but he makes a rare appearance here on Bethelehem Records in the US – on a session that was one of the early ones recorded in Landsdowne Studios! The group's a small one, and features some especially great work from Tony Coe on alto and clarinet – still in a relatively swing-based mode, but already with those sharp edges that we love so much – and the rest of the record has a similar blend of older jazz with modern inflections, played by a group that also includes Johnny Picard on trombone, Ian Armit on piano, and Jimmy Skidmore on tenor – plus Humph himself on trumpet. Titles include "Love For Sale", "Undecided", "Willow Weep For Me", "Blue Lou", "Prelude To A Kiss", and "Bewitched".
This budget-priced collection from the hunky Aussie soap opera actor turned rock star collects ten of his biggest radio hits, including "Jessie's Girl," "I've Done Everything for You," "Don't Talk to Strangers," and "Love Is Alright Tonite."
Reinhard Keiser is regarded as one of the most important German baroque era opera composers; Pomona forms the ideal introduction to the world of German-language baroque opera. A few deities come together to participate in a contest ultimately to be decided by Jupiter, the father of the gods. And thats it! No intricate plot, no complicated character groupings. Pomona was the last opera based on a libretto by Christian Heinrich Postel, a highly experienced librettist whod recognized the young composers talent, and beginning in 1697 penned his texts exclusively for his musical settings.
Joe Pass recorded almost exclusively for American record labels during his long career, so this 1973 studio date for BASF is a rare exception. With bassist Eberhard Weber and drummer Kenny Clare's brushwork, the legendary guitarist plays a half dozen or so standards, including gently swinging takes of "Chloe" and "Stompin' at the Savoy," a soft arrangement of Jobim's Meditation," and a very lively version of "I Love You" (also featuring solos by his rhythm section). He also improvises the tasty "Joe's Blue's," plays a light samba written by the session's recording director ("El Gento"), puts some life into the normally tame 1960s pop hit "Ode to Billie Joe" by playing it in a Latin groove, and concludes with the very familiar standard from the Count Basie songbook, "Lil' Darlin'," which he must have performed hundreds of times during his career. While his playing is rather reserved compared to his later extensive recordings for Pablo, and this release is by no means near the top of the late guitarist's considerable discography as a leader or soloist, fans of Joe Pass who listen to this set won't be disappointed.
Richard Pinhas, the founder of 70s progressive legends Heldon, is one of the most uncompromising artists on the international rock scene, having remained constantly innovative and true to his personal artistic vision for 40 years and some 35 full length releases. Oren Ambarchi is a guitarist, drummer and sound-artist who has performed and/or recorded with a huge array of artists, including Fennesz, John Zorn, Jim O'Rourke, Otomo Yoshihide, Evan Parker, Merzbow and others. Since 2004, he has worked with the avant-metal band Sunn O))), contributing to many of their releases and side- projects. The music on Tikkun, which consists of three very lengthy tracks, comes across as a very tasty cross between the heavy, synth-driven, sequencer beats of classic Heldon and the much more noisier aspects of Pinhas' work over the last decade.
As part of the Re:solutions series this historical title has been mastered from original analog sources and reissued in January 2014. Between 1979 and 1982, the Miroslav Vitouš Group was the primary outlet for the abundant improvisational skills of leader Vitouš and John Surman. They made three ECM albums: this eponymously-titled disc from 1980 is the middle one.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release of an album which is considered by many to be one of the pioneering classics of global electronica, Banco De Gaia is happy to announce this triple disc version of Maya. Originally released in February 1994 on the Planet Dog label, Maya reached No1 in the independent charts in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.
This CD presents Wilhelm Friedemann's works for flute, either as solo sonata or in trio combination: music of great beauty, melodic charm and invention and instrumental brilliance. Although the output of Johann Sebastian's eldest son is comparatively small, the significance of his style, as a logical and truthful successor of his father, is great. His style, based on the Baroque principles, is free, adventurous and forward‐looking, the "Empfindsame Stil". It serves as a bridge between the Baroque and the Classical Period. Played by the best Dutch Early Music specialists on period instruments. Contains detailed notes on the music and instrument specification.
Features the high-fidelity SHM-CD format (compatible with standard CD player) and the latest 24bit 192kHz remastering. Smoking work on Hammond from Freddie Roach – a key player in the Blue Note lineup of the 60s, and a strong link between the label's soul jazz and modern sides! The sound here is a really beautiful one – partly in the organ/tenor mode forged by Baby Face Willette and John Patton in their early recordings for Blue Note, but also stretching out in that way that started to show up in Patton's later work, and in the seminal work from the time by Larry Young. Freddie's touch on the keys is really opening up here – clearly driven by some more original ideas that help push the album past the more R&B influenced sound of some of his earlier work. Players on the set include Joe Henderson on tenor, Eddie Wright on guitar, and Clarence Johnston on drums – and title cuts include "Brown Sugar", plus "All Night Long", "Have You Ever Had The Blues", and "The Right Time".

Q: R loop to create data frames with 2 counters What I want is to create 60 data frames with 500 rows in each. I tried the below code and, while I get no errors, I am not getting the data frames. However, when I do a View on the as.data.frame, I get the view, but no data frame in my environment. I've been trying for three days with various versions of this code:
getDS <- function(x){
  for(i in 1:3){
    for(j in 1:30000){
      ID_i <- data.table(x$ID[j: (j+500)])
    }
  }
  as.data.frame(ID_i)
}

getDS(DATASETNAME)

A: We can use outer (on a small example)
out1 <- c(outer(1:3, 1:3, Vectorize(function(i, j) list(x$ID[j:(j + 5)]))))
lapply(out1, as.data.table)

--
The issue in the OP's function is that inside the loop, the ID_i gets updated each time i.e. it is not stored.  Inorder to do that we can initialize a list and then store it
getDS <- function(x) {
      ID_i <- vector('list', 3)
      for(i in 1:3) {
           for(j in 1:3) {
           ID_i[[i]][[j]] <- data.table(x$ID[j:(j + 5)])
          }
        }
      ID_i
    }

do.call(c, getDS(x))

data
x <- data.table(ID = 1:50)

A: I'm not sure the description matches the code, so I'm a little unsure what the desired result is. That said, it is usually not helpful to split a data.table because the built-in by-processing makes it unnecessary. If for some reason you do want to split into a list of data.tables you might consider something along the lines of
getDS <- function(x, n=5, size = nrow(x)/n, column = "ID", reps = 3) {
    x <- x[1:(n*size), ..column]
    index <- rep(1:n, each = size)
    replicate(reps, split(x, index),
              simplify = FALSE)
}

getDS(data.table(ID = 1:20), n = 5)


Wealth management firms operate in a highly competitive space that requires them to vie for the attention of an increasingly digital-first consumer base. To reach these always-connected consumers, it's imperative that these brands show up near the top of search engine results pages, according to findings in a report published by Moz this week.
The report cited a number of reasons why dominating search results – specifically Google's results – is critical for wealth management brands.
More than 70 percent of Millennials use search engines for research.
15 percent of Millennials rely on search engines for financial advice.
57 percent of a purchase decision has already been made via search engines and other online sources before a prospect even engages with a company representative.
With that in mind, Moz wanted to see how financial brands stacked up against each other across three types of search results.
Then, Moz determined each brands' "click share" – the metric they used to rank brands across each result type. This consisted of factoring in the number of times each keyword is searched for and the estimated click-thru rate of each position in those search results.
This one wasn't even close. Edward Jones dominated other wealth management firms, taking almost 40 percent of the local search click share. Ameriprise (6.5 percent) and Raymond James (5.3 percent) rounded out a top three that accounted for more than half the total click share in the industry.
The study cited consistent and accurate local data as a major reason for the top brands' success and encouraged other wealth management firms to follow suit.
Local search results enable wealth management firms to reach customers right at the moment of decision. The key to bringing these customers to your front door is investing in accurate online listings for all of your locations and ensuring they're always up to date.
Paid search rankings were a little more competitive. Morgan Stanley took the top spot with 19 percent click share – more than double the next brand. But unlike local search, where it took the next nine spots to equal the click share of the top brand, the next three brands – Wells Fargo (9.1 percent), Fidelity (8.6 percent) and Merril Lynch/Bank of America (3.8 percent) – combined for a 21.5 click share.
According to the study, brands looking to improve their share in this competitive space with traditionally high costs-per-clicks (CPC) have an opening.
There is an opportunity to further optimize conversion and reduce costs by utilizing locally targeted landing pages as part of a paid search strategy. The firms that can implement that first will gain an advantage.
News and informational sites (e.g., Forbes) were the big winners in the organic search results followed by comparison sites like Yelp. Financial brands commanded an 8.2 percent click share overall, lead by Edward Jones with a 5.1 percent click share.
The study credits Edward Jones use of more than 4,000 local landing pages – the No. 2 brand, Morgan Stanley had 125 landing pages.
The primary takeaway: Investing in a corporate website alone is not enough. Many brands hope to gain share of attention by creating beautiful experiences on their corporate website, but the data show that breadth is important. Along with targeted keyword phrases, having websites for every advisor and potentially city-based landing pages as well are important.
Moz combined all the data to determine which brands were earning the most traffic to their websites across search results. And the winner is (insert drumroll noise here): Edward Jones – with a combined click share of 14.3 percent.

Box Office: 'Avengers: Endgame' Dusts Records With $1.2B Worldwide
1. Avengers: Endgame (review)- $
I don't ever want to see another thinkpiece written about "superhero fatigue" ever again. Not when Avengers: Endgame, the final chapter in the decade-long Marvel franchise which basically created that baseless idea, has opened to $350M domestic (Infinity War launched with $258M) and an amazing $1.2B worldwide. This is following on record-breaking Thursday previews ($60M) which led to a chart-topping $156M Friday. Marvel did this while their previous film, Captain Marvel, was still very much in theaters and doing quite well. They smartly packaged them as a must-see combo which is why Brie Larson's solo film has seen bumps recently, as fans race to make sure they are fully caught up before Endgame. To Marvel's credit, they sold this as a movie that rewarded long-term loyalty and clearly that worked; you don't get these kinds of numbers without a staggering amount of repeat business. It earned $112M on Saturday and another $89M on Sunday, to show just how little slippage there was each day. So with $1.1B worldwide there's really nowhere else to go but down, right? The $331M in China alone are huge but it's going to take a lot more for Endgame to get beyond Avatar's $2.7B haul. That's going to depend on how resilient it proves over the next few weeks, but with little competition until Aladdin on May 24th it could be smooth sailing.
2. Captain Marvel- $8M/$413.5M
The Endgame bounce continues for Captain Marvel, which bounded back up to the #2 slot with $8M and $413M domestic. Just to make it clear Disney's dominance here; this is their second $1B film of the year already and it's only April.
3. The Curse of La Llorona- $7.5M/$41.2M
Of course, there weren't any new films daring to confront the Endgame juggernaut but at least one holdover managed to do decently well. The Curse of La Llorona, the sixth entry in the Conjuring universe, now has $41M after two weeks. Sure, it took a Hulk-sized 71% drop but when the total budget is only $9M all of this is a plus.
4. Breakthrough- $6.3M/$26.1M
5. Shazam!- $5.5M/$131.1M
How must Warner Bros/DC Films feel right now? They have a legitimately successful, well-received film in Shazam which now has $346M worldwide. And Endgame comes out and triples that total in a single weekend. Oof. #goals
6. Little- $3.4M/$35.8M
7. Dumbo- $3.2M/$107M
8. Pet Sematary- $1.2M/$52.6M
9. Us- $1.1M/$172.8M
10. Penguins- $1M/$5.7M

Q: Change path in every IPython notebook I would like to change the path for every notebook that is loaded for an IPython profile. I have the following directory structure on Mac OS X:
/Users/user/project
├── main.py
├── reqs
├── notebooks
├── profile
└── ve, requirements.txt...

On this profile, I want to show the user the notebooks that are in the notebook folder, add this root folder to the path, and preload the main and reqs modules there.
I created a profile folder, and I run IPython like so:
$ ./ve/bin/ipython notebook --profile-dir=`pwd`/profile

I added the following to the file profile/startup/00-setup.py
c = get_config()

import os, sys

# Modify the path to include the core files
cur_folder = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
sys.path.append('{}/../..'.format(cur_folder))

# Preload some modules
from main import *
from reqs import *

But somehow this doesn't have any effects, and I don't see any errors when it launches.
I found the question Change IPython working directory to be relevant, but in my case the path I want to add is different than the notebooks folder.
Thanks

Brett Kavanaugh's tumultuous confirmation hearing
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee demand Donald Trump's Supreme Court nomination be postponed
Democracy in America
by S.M. | NEW YORK
FEW displays in Washington, DC political theatre tax a viewer's patience like a confirmation hearing for a Supreme Court nominee. The first day of hearings is particularly heavy-going: 21 members of the Senate Judiciary Committee take turns holding forth on law, justice and the American way while the nominee sits in silent repose. The nominee faces and listens to these friendly and hostile senators for hours, refraining from smilingly nodding along or furrowing his brow. This judicious restraint gives way later in the day to a few "introducers"—famous people who love the nominee and want to tell the world why. Then the Supreme Court hopeful himself gets a quarter of an hour to make an opening statement filled with platitudes about the law and plaudits for his adorable family.
All that happened on September 4th when Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump's second Supreme Court pick in as many years, began his stint before the Senate. But the torpor of the typical opening-day hearing was broken moments after Senator Chuck Grassley, chair of Judiciary Committee, began the hearing. A recent addition to the committee, Senator Kamala Harris of California, calmly implored Mr Grassley "to be recognised for a question before we proceed". The senior senator from Iowa went on talking, and Ms Harris raised her voice. "The committee received just last night, less than 15 hours ago, 42,000 pages of documents that we have not had an opportunity to review or read or analyse" related to the nomination. "You are out of order, I'll proceed", Mr Grassley said, banging his gavel. "We cannot possibly move forward, Mr chairman", she replied. When the chairman did move forward, other Democrats from the committee echoed Ms Harris's call. Mr Grassley pressed on, ignoring the appeals.
Richard Blumenthal, a Democratic senator, then moved to adjourn the proceedings, spurring protestors in the audience to cheer and clap, drowning out the chair's voice. Mr Blumenthal called the hearing a "charade and a mockery of our norms", and a voice from the back of the chamber added, "a mockery and a travesty of justice". Whoops and screams continued for some moments, prompting Mr Kavanaugh's wife to reassure their young daughters. Then Cory Booker, a Democratic senator, added his two cents: "What is the rush? What are we trying to hide by not having the documents out front?" This was a new challenge for the 84-year-old senator, and Mr Grassley accused Mr Booker of taking advantage of his "decency and integrity". The pandemonium continued for nearly half an hour.
The Democrats have a legitimate grievance. While Mr Kavanaugh's 307 judicial opinions as a judge on the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals are available, many documents stemming from his work in the executive branch have not come to light. Last month, the National Archives told the Senate it needed at least until the end of October to review 900,000 pages of documents related to Mr Kavanaugh's work as a lawyer in the White House of George W. Bush. Senate leaders nevertheless indicated they would begin hearings for Mr Kavanaugh in early September, hoping to seat him in Justice Anthony Kennedy's old chair by October 1st, when the Supreme Court hears its first arguments of the new term. And last week, the Trump administration asserted a claim of executive privilege to withhold 100,000 documents from Mr Kavanaugh's work in the early 2000s. But on the evening of September 3rd, hours before the hearing, William Burck, a lawyer for Mr Bush, sent the committee 42,000 pages of records. Democrats complained that one evening isn't quite enough to survey that much paper, but the Senate's Republicans seemed to have no such problem. The Republican side of the aisle had "completed its review of each and every one of these pages" overnight, a press officer insisted.
That is far-fetched, to say the least. But it's also implausible, given the level of scepticism Democrats on the committee voiced about the merits of Mr Kavanaugh's nomination, that time to survey additional documents would make a difference in their votes. Every Democrat on the committee seems poised to vote against moving this nomination to the floor, and their opposition is already overdetermined: they object to Mr Kavanaugh's record of voting against environmentalists and for expanded gun rights; they fear his misgivings about abortion rights and his hearty embrace of presidential power. So why are Democrats staging an unprecedented campaign to mess with Mr Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing?
With the Republicans holding on to a slim majority in the Senate, chances are near zero that the orchestrated attempt to adjourn the proceedings will deny Mr Kavanaugh his Supreme Court seat or delay his investiture long enough to keep him unrobed for the beginning of the upcoming term. But the Democrats have apparently decided they aren't going down this time without a fight, even if, as star Supreme Court lawyer Lisa Blatt told senators on Tuesday, he's the best nominee liberals could ever hope to see from a Republican president. The reasonable beef they have with the Senate's rush—particularly after purely partisan motives led Republicans to stall for over a year to confirm Justice Antonin Scalia's replacement, stealing a seat from Barack Obama—deserves to be aired.

Shire Shifts Upstream
Shire's latest acquisition, of Canada's BioChem Pharma, is its sixth in as many years, and the clearest sign yet of the shift which the UK-based specialty pharmaceutical company has to make towards earlier-stage research in order to keep up its impressive growth. Behind this growth is its low-risk Search & Development strategy: it seeks out promising, undervalued specialist-market drugs which it develops for new indications, or else finds new formulations for, after which it hands them on to its highly focused marketing and sales teams. A series of acquisitions-bolting on products, development programs and skills-has allowed Shire to quickly expand globally and broaden its portfolio. But as drugs get harder to find and more expensive, the company has had to throw its S&D net wider.
Medeva Changes Tack
Criticized for not properly managing growth, Medeva's managers contend they're building a sustainable business. They used profits from methylphenidate, an off-patent treatment for attention deficit disorder, to finance a long list of acquisitions, many of which didn't work out. When methylphenidate sales crashed with the entrance of generic competition, so did Medeva's credibility with investors. They're hoping their self-sustaining European and American infrastructure will help them attract the higher-risk, higher profit products they shunned in their original strategy but now need in order to dig themselves out of their profit hole.

Well, in order to move forward with some annotations to OpenMP, here are a couple of details. Parallel Regions in OpenMP are separated by #pragma omp parallel [clause [clause]…]. The block inside will be executed by the designated threads in parallel (same code is executed in each and every thread). The number of threads can be defined by an environment variable and can be set to a specific number or to the maximum number of threads. Other environment variables allow the setting of the chunk size for the schedule type. Beyond this simple structure of Parallel Regions, work sharing constructs (directives) are available. One example is the do/for directive. An implicit barrier exists at the end of the do/for block for synchronization purposes. This can be disabled by specifying a nowait. A schedule clause defines the distribution on the different threads. For options are available static, dynamic, guided, and runtime. Please not the default value depends on the underlying implementation. This should be enough for tonight. It's Friday and we should listen to some music. Find some recommendation in the next post.

Lumen appoints new President and CEO, Kate Johnson
By Josephine Walbank
The American telecoms giant Lumen Technologies has announced that Kate Johnson has been appointed as the new company President and CEO
Kate Johnson, who is expected to transition into the role on November 7th, will also join Lumen Technologies' Board of Directors.
She will succeed Jeff Storey, who has announced his retirement, following an exceptional 40 year career at the very forefront of the telecommunications sector.
About Kate Johnson - the new CEO of Lumen Technologies
Johnson is a technology executive, already with an extraordinary track record and level of industry experience. She has driven highly successful digital transformations in a variety of Fortune 100 companies, including Oracle, General Electric and Microsoft. In the latter, she led Microsoft US' remit for all of the company's sales, services, marketing and operations, and almost doubled enterprise revenues.
"I am proud to take on the CEO role and eager to advance the strategy Jeff and the team have created. Lumen has made significant progress strengthening its balance sheet, expanding its fibre footprint and enhancing its portfolio of digital capabilities. I'm looking forward to leading this great company through its next chapter and helping customers leverage the Lumen platform to power amazing digital world experiences", commented Kate Johnson.
"Kate's appointment and the strategic transition announced today are the culmination of a succession plan that Jeff and the board have been engaged in for the past several years," added T. Michael Glenn, Chairman of Lumen's Board of Directors.
"We are confident she is the right leader to take the reins at this important moment in Lumen's history. Kate is an inspiring and motivational leader who is known for identifying and creating growth. She is the ideal CEO for Lumen."
"It has been a privilege to serve as Lumen's CEO. Throughout my time with the company, I have been incredibly impressed by our team's commitment to Lumen and to our core purpose of furthering human progress through technology", added Jeff Storey.
"I am proud of all that we have achieved together as we have driven forward on Lumen's transformation journey. However, when I took this amazing job, I always spoke openly with the board about my future timeline for retirement. I am confident that the organization has the strategy in place to deliver on its priority of achieving profitable revenue growth. I am very excited to welcome Kate to Lumen. I believe her experience, leadership and enthusiasm are exactly what we need as we drive the company forward."
Johnson will join the ranks of 44 other female CEOs leading businesses on the Fortune 500 list. While this is, of course, a fantastic development for industry diversity, it's clear that there is still so much further to go.
