The Malnad Ultra is a challenging trail run through some of the most enchanting and exciting terrain that one can imagine for a run. We offer three categories over 50, 80 and 110 Km on our course in the Western Ghats of South India. Our next edition, the fourth, will be held on November 2, 2019.
The origin of the name Malnad is attributed to Male meaning Hill and Nadu meaning Land. Being an Ultra, all of our race categories are Beyond 42 Km. We expect to offer a 160 Km (a 100-Miler) by 2020.
To provide the most sought-after Trail-Ultra running experience in Asia by 2025.
We made a humble beginning on October 8-9, 2016 with 195 participants from across five countries including India. We had 19/40 finishers in the 110 Km category, 34/54 finishers in the 80 Km category and 64/101 finishers in the 50 Km category. Athreya Chidambi and Manoj Bhat from India completed the 110 Km event in a close finish at 13:44 hours. Sampath Kumar from India took the honours in the 80 Km event with a time of 9:15 hours. Dharmendra D, also from India, completed the 50 Km in 5:19 hours.
Our event grew to 441 participants from across 18 countries in our second edition that was held on October 7-8, 2017. Paul Giblin from the U.K won the 110 Km event in 12:48 hours while 71/124 finished within the cut-off time of 24 hours. Our 80 Km event saw 36/60 finishers with Dharmendra D from India winning in a time of 9:44 hours. Finally, we saw 102/257 finishers in the 50 Km event that was won by Kieren D'souza in 4:45 hours. The cut-off time for the 80 Km and 50 Km were 15 hours and 9 hours respectively.
Our third edition held on October 13-14, 2018 attracted over 1200 participants in extraordinarily hot weather in the Malnad area. Hayden Hawks from U.S.A broke the 50 Km record with a finish time of 4'19". Timothy Hewitt from Australia finished the 80 Km in 7'59" and Florent Bouguin from Canada finished the gruelling 110 KM in 13'50".
Our event is unique because it 100% volunteer-driven. While there are over 400+ volunteers that help prepare the course and provide support to the runners, a core team of about 20 volunteers work without a break over the 24 hours of the event. Many members of the team have been together for some years and we look forward to meeting at this event to catch up and share some laughs together.


These awesome shirts I ordered awhile back arrived. Hooray for positive messages for kids!
Even though two out of three of us are still under the weather, the little one and I are on the mend and he's faring better than I am. So we headed across the state for a visit we already had planned with grandparents.
Grandpa Karath gave Quinn his Christmas gift, which is a fun race bendable racetrack. Quinn loves it and spent a lot of time watching the car race around the track.
In the late afternoon we headed to my parents house to spent some time there as well. Quinn showed off the racetrack Grandpa Karath gave him and had a fun time with Uncle Jeff.
We both felt a little under the weather so we napped on the couch this afternoon. It was wonderful.
It has been a busy day! Today we took Quinn to Snip-Its for his first haircut. He did really well sitting in the chair. Waiting his turn was another matter, however. We really need to work on patience.
In the afternoon our friend Corinne came over. We enjoyed lunch, talked about random stuff, and in general had a great time catching up.
She bought him a cool R2D2 bento box for Christmas, which he tried to feed cheese to.
In the evening before bed I finished up the another fitted sheet. This one is tractors, since he's a big fan of anything with wheels. The Christmas ornament he picked out last month was also a John Deere tractor, so we thought he'd enjoy these.
Our first Hello Fresh box came today. We've tried Blue Apron and I had a coupon for Hello Fresh so I thought we'd give this a try. It wasn't bad, although it was rejected by the toddler and other picky eater in our house.
I have hopes that as Quinn gets older he'll eat more things.
Quinn drew Pocoyo today on the chalkboard (the blue).
This is how you do meetings! An awesome co-worker brought in several bags of twizzlers.
These blinking lights under an overpass are intense. And distracting. I suppose that might be the point?
He's a big fan of this giant light brite at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum.
I worked half a day today and came home in the afternoon to rest. This little enjoyed me being home, even if it wasn't exactly relaxing for me. At least I can sit in sleep pants at home. You can't exactly get away with that in the office.
I stopped by Biggby Coffee this morning. I don't drink coffee very often, but when I'm up all night coughing not just last night but the last two nights from a terrible cold, I need something to get me through the day.
A co-worker sent me this today. Seems appropriate for this week's impending inauguration.
I had no idea these things were still around. The little one will enjoy all of the stickers.
Looks like they installed very bright blue lights under an overpass downtown. They so bright it's distracting when you get off of the freeway.
I really like independent and small bookstores. The recommendations they have for series to read are great. I almost never see these at Barnes & Noble.
Quinn has the sniffles today so we've been taking it easy.
Met some co-workers after work for some drinks. Hooray for rum and coke!
The trade shows and conventions that go on during the week at the Amway Grand (and DeVos Hall) are always interesting. I don't know why there is this amazing modified Radio Flyer wagon, complete with light up sides, but ok. It obviously has something to do with something, right?
A co-worker loaned us a few movies to try since Quinn enjoyed Frozen so much. I think he'll really enjoy Tinkerbell because that kid loves Abby Cadabby.
On Saturday while my parents were watching Quinn, Chris and I went out and picked up a new laptop for me. My old one is a nice Dell XPS, but it's about 10 years old and struggles to do a few things. The battery is also pretty terrible. While I could have bought a new battery, upgrading to a newer laptop was preferable.
Plus it's a 2 in 1, so the hinge works both ways. Switching it into tablet mode makes it an unwieldy windows tablet. It's fun to play with, but 13 inches is too large for a tablet for day to day use.
We watched our first movie with Quinn this afternoon. Up until this point we've watched a few short (30 minute) holiday specials, but today we watched Frozen. He loved it. He sat through over an hour of the movie, captivated by the singing and animation. He finally lost interest near the end, but considering he's never watched for that long without running around simultaneously, he did wonderfully. He's definitely a big fan.
My parents drove out to visit and watch Quinn for a little bit today. The kid was a whirlwind of activity, when he wasn't napping.
He had a lot of fun showing my parents his new train table, as well as other toys he received for Christmas.
It's chilly out there. Winter is in full swing.
This is truly the only way to enjoy delicious vitamin D milk.
Snow is an excellent excuse to try out the waterproof case Chris purchased for my pixel. My Samsung S5 was waterproof, so I would use it in the rain and snow without much concern. The Pixel is not. It's resistant (although not officially) but I don't want to risk such an expensive device. So I tried out this case.
It's a little difficult to hit the buttons on the side, but other than that it works perfectly. Of course the issue is that my winter gloves aren't compatible with touchscreens. I'll have to sew some conductive thread into the fingers and thumbs so the touch screen is usable.
I'm not excited for snow but rain at the beginning of January is weird.
My parents gave us a Costco membership for Christmas this year. The card arrived over this weekend so we went out first thing this morning to sign up.
Quinn had a lot of fun and enjoyed some of the samples at the various food stations. There are definitely some things that are cheaper there than at Meijer, so I look forward to stocking up in bulk on some things, including the animal crackers they sell that Quinn loves.
Sometimes he's pretty nice to the cat and the cat just does not know what to do with that.


After being admitted to a new school through the normal admissions process, international students must then request a transfer of their SEVIS record from the old school to the new school. Consult with international student advisers at both schools to make sure the F-1 or J-1 transfer is handled properly.
An F-1 student is eligible to transfer to UC Berkeley if they are in valid F-1 status at the time of transfer. There can be no more than a 5-month gap between schools from the last date of attendance, OR the last day of Optional Practical Training (OPT), whichever is later. The deadline for F-1 students to request a transfer is 60 days after the program completion date or OPT end date, whichever is later.
UC Berkeley's SEVIS School Name is "University of California at Berkeley." Our School Code is SFR214F00615000.
J-1 students who wish to transfer from their current program sponsor to UC Berkeley must consult with international student advisers at both schools.
receive a majority of their financial support from sources other than personal funds.
have adequate financial support for all of their school and living expenses, including additional financial support for any accompanying family members, for the duration of your degree program as determined by normative time AND 51% of your total financial support comes from an institutional or government sponsor in the form of a scholarship, fellowship, assistantship, stipend, tuition waiver, or other direct support provided specifically for the educational program. Personal or family funds do not qualify. Loans or support from individuals do not qualify.
request a J-1 transfer before their DS-2019 program end date.
transfer by their program completion date or the end of the Academic Training period, whichever is later.
not transfer during their 30-day grace period following completion.
apply for a new visa with the new institution's DS-2019 if planning to travel abroad between programs. If the J-1 student remains in the United States between transfer institutions and does not leave the country, a new J-1 visa stamp is not required.
UC Berkeley's SEVIS School Name is "University of California at Berkeley." Our Program Number is P-1-00352.
Notify an international student adviser at your current school that you intend to transfer to UC Berkeley. The adviser will enter a SEVIS Release Date into your record. On this date, your SEVIS record will automatically transfer to UC Berkeley. The release date is usually the last day of enrollment at your current school.
Complete the Nonimmigrant Information Form (NIF) and upload the required documents, including passport and proof of funding. F-1 students will receive a transfer I-20 from Berkeley International Office within two weeks following their transfer release date.
Complete your mandatory Online Arrival Confirmation.
Pay your tuition fees and update your local address in CalCentral no later than 15 days after the first day of classes in order to complete your transfer. If you have difficulty with this process, consult an advisor at Berkeley International Office before the 15-day deadline.
F-1 students will be issued a second transfer I-20 and notified by email to pick it up at Berkeley International Office. This second I-20 is proof that your transfer has been completed successfully.
The gap between your last date of attendance, OR the last day of Optional Practical Training (OPT) and your start date at UC Berkeley is more the 5 months.
You will apply for off-campus work authorization during the summer.
If one of these options applies to you, please review the instructions for obtaining a summer I-20.
Transfer students may travel and re-enter the United States any time while between school programs. However, transfer students must re-enter with their UC Berkeley I-20 or DS-2019 and not the previous school's document. F-1 and J-1 students must have valid visa stamps to re-enter the United States. F-1 students can use a valid visa stamp issued for their pre-Berkeley institution as long as the SEVIS ID number remains the same. If the J-1 student plans to re-enter the US following the transfer, the J-1 student must apply for a new J-1 visa with the new institution's DS-2019. If the J-1 student remains in the U.S. between transfer institutions and does not leave the country, a new J-1 visa stamp is not required.
If you are planning to leave UC Berkeley to go to another U.S. school, you must request a "transfer out" from an adviser at Berkeley International Office. The adviser will release your SEVIS record to the new school. The date of your release depends on your program status. For more information, contact Berkeley International Office.
Also, visit our Transfer From UC Berkeley page.


I'm writing from buzzd (www.buzzd.com), the NYC based, award-winning consumer app that tracks activity across social media networks (i.e twitter, foursquare, etc.) to show the most popular places in your city. We're about to launch a B2B tool to help venues analyze activity across the many social networks for their own venues so that they can effectively reach out to users over Twitter. Right now we're in the beta phase and thought Chelsea Girl Vintage would be a good choice to be in our program to get some feedback during a free beta-test trial before our national release.
I would love to discuss more, so please let me know when would be a good time to briefly talk over the phone so we can go more in-depth into how we can work together.
Unfortunately we are currently post-Beta, and are only seeking meta networking with a true p2p bias. As you may know, we have a dedicated above-board flash interface with an html on the network. This has worked well for us. We appreciate your interfacing with our blogspot.
I just want to mention I'm very new to blogging and certainly savored this web-site. Almost certainly I'm going to bookmark your blog post . You certainly have amazing writings. Appreciate it for revealing your web site.

Assessment of the spatial variation and source apportionment of air pollution based on chemometric techniques: A case study in the peninsular Malaysia
Hamza Ahmad Isiyaka, Hafizan Juahir, Mohd. Ekhwan Toriman, Azman Azid, Barzani M. Gasim, Mohd Khairul Amri Kamarudin
This study aims to investigate the spatial variation in the source of air pollution, identify the percentage contribution of each pollutant and apportion the mass contribution of each source category using chemometric techniques. Hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis (HACA) successfully grouped the five air monitoring sites into three groups (cluster 1, 2 and 3). Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to spot out the sources of air pollution which are attributed to anthropogenic activities. Multiple linear regression (MLR) was used to develop an equation model that explains the contribution of pollutants in each cluster. However, it was observed that particulate matter (PM10) and Ozone (O3) are the most significant pollutants influencing the value of air pollutant index (API). Meanwhile, the source apportionment indicates that cluster 1 is influenced by gas and non-gas pollutants to a degree of 84%, weather condition 15% and 1% by gas and secondary pollutants. Cluster 2 is affected by gas and secondary pollutants to a tune of 87% and 13% by weather condition while cluster 3 is apportioned with 98% secondary gas and non-gas pollutants and 2% weather condition. This study reveals the usefulness of chemometric technique in modeling and reducing the cost and time of monitoring redundant stations and parameters.

Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 Released
How to Use Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10
6 Best YouTube Apps for Windows 8.1
6 Simple Tips to Save Battery when using Windows 8
How to Fix USB Device Not Recognized on Windows 8.1
Microsoft has made available the final version of Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) for Windows 7 users. IE11 is bundled as a part of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, but for Windows 7 users, it was available in developer preview and consumer preview and now it is released as final version. With this final release, IE11 brings the same leading standards support with improved performance, security, privacy, and reliability that consumers enjoy on Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 customers.
Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) is available worldwide in 95 languages for download today.
You can experience IE11's leading performance first hand with demos on the IE Test Drive site where you'll find examples of hardware accelerated rendering, interactivity, touch, and real world site patterns. Although IE11 is now available on Windows 7, not all features are available from the Windows 8 for the Windows 7 users.
Here is a list of changes to Windows 7 version of IE7 compared to Windows 8 version.
In the Windows 7 version of IE11, the URL bar remains at the top of the browser (like it is with IE10 on Windows 7). IE11 for Windows 8.1 puts the URL bar at the bottom.
The new tab view in Windows 8.1 isn't part of the IE11 for Windows 7 release.
IE11 on Windows 7 won't support for premium video extensions like the 8.1 version does. "There are many solutions available for Windows 7 customers to stream and view protected content online, those methods will continue to function for customers," a spokesperson confirmed. (Read: Silverlight and Flash.)
No support for Google's SPDY protocol (the precursor to HTTP 2.0) in IE11 on Windows 7. IE11 on Windows 8.1 does support SPDY.
IE11 on Windows 7 will not support Enhanced Protected Mode browser security enhancements.
Apart from this, there are tons of improvements to IE11 and is much faster than the previous versions.

Q: why i still can't use the NumPy module even the terminal says "requirement already satisfied"? i was using
pip install numpy

to install NumPy on my Mac. Then the terminal says that
Requirement already satisfied: numpy in
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python

I guess it means Numpy is already installed?
but when i wrote
from numpy import array
a=array([1,3],int)

the python shell says
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/bamford/Documents/python/untitled-3.py", line 1, in <module>
from numpy import array
builtins.ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'

what is going on?

A: Per the comments, notice that your sys.path includes directories whose names imply they are associated with Python3.6:

[... '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python36.zip', ...]

Yet NumPy has been installed in your Python2.7 distribution:

Requirement already satisfied: numpy in
  /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python

(my emphasis) So your Wing101 IDE is using Python3, and not finding NumPy because NumPy has not (yet) been installed in your Python3 distribution.
One solution would be to install NumPy for your Python3 distribution. (Another, might be to configure Wing101 to run Python2.7.) Often, the pip executable associated with Python3 is named pip3 (to distinguish it from a Python2 version called pip.) So you might try
pip3 install numpy

to install NumPy.

Moral of the story: Every pip is associated with a particular Python distribution. pip is a Python script. When run, it calls the Python executable associated with that distribution.
To install modules for a particular Python using pip, you need to call the pip script which is associated with the desired Python executable.

A: The message pip shows in your system

Requirement already satisfied: numpy in
  /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python

Here as you can note, numpy module is installed in python 2.7's directory.
You should install it in python 3.*'s directory. You can try that by
pip3 install numpy
pip3 installs python libraries in python 3.*directory
add sudo at the beginning of command to install it system wide.

It's been a long while since I've written a blog post. I have an excuse though and it's a good one. Since I stepped into my position at ABEF, I've been working on a large-scale redesign of our facility. When I took the project over, it had already been underway for a little over a year, but it had stalled in the development phase. We had plans for all new enclosures, new landscaping, and an educational plaza- all developed through a grant from the Foraker group. With these plans, I launched a Go Fund Me campaign and started searching out grant funding for the (estimated) $800,000 redesign.
The passion was easy to find. New enclosures that are big, bright, and enriching for our team of hard-working avian ambassadors would be a dream come true. I threw myself at the project and spent countless hours developing timelines, searching for funding opportunities, and developing materials. Unfortunately, passion isn't always enough to get things off the ground. I ran into wall after wall, and eventually had to accept that it was going to take a very (very) long time to raise that much money.
Meanwhile, the birds needed new spaces sooner rather than later. Vega, a big, beautiful bald eagle, needed to be in her own enclosure. She's an absolute rock star ambassador, but she doesn't always play well with others. It's not her fault- it's in her DNA. But because we have few spaces large enough to house our three bald eagles, Vega has to live with at least one other eagle. This puts undue stress on Arden, a much younger, smaller bird stuck sharing the space with her. Spurred by this, we decided last December to scale things back and move on the project as soon as we could.
Vega, a bald eagle, is a big bird with an even bigger personality.
We had raised just over $55,000 through our Go Fund Me and some generous donations from board members. We settled on building four new enclosures in an empty space on the property, tearing down two of the old enclosures, and opening things up into a weathering yard and walking path. This way guests would be able to see the aviaries at their own pace, rather than crowding 15 people at a time through our cramped aviaries during scheduled tours. With our plan in place, we set about preparing.
With limited funding, I set out to DIY as much as possible. As it turns out, I don't know anything about anything having to do with construction. Or I didn't last December. For the last six months, I've learned all about the necessary permits (and acquired them), sought out material bids, coordinated with contractors, and drowned in minutia I was completely oblivious to before beginning. Thankfully, I have two incredible co-workers who have supported me at every step, taking things off my plate where they could and offering more moral support than I knew what to do with.
As spring finally (slowly) arrived, we started to make actual visible preparations. Following a series of miscommunications, we ended up having to do a lot more than we expected ourselves. A solid week was spent with the whole staff outside removing old wiring, taking down roofing, pulling out PVC mesh, removing perches- it seemed like there was an endless list of things we had to get done before we could tear the old aviaries down. All while simultaneously preparing the grounds for cruise ship season. But somehow we got them done. And on Wednesday, May 9th, we popped a bottle of champagne as we watched an excavator chew those old, dark aviaries into a pile of splinters.
New interns, (from left to right) Stebi Sanchez, Miranda Thomas, and Josh Sanko move gravel for a new path.
And then there was more work to do! In the footprint of the old building, we shoveled an outrageous amount of gravel around to make a weathering yard and walking path. We landscaped, we cleaned, we labored hard, and a week after the building came down, our first cruise ship guests arrived.
More than 350 guests made their way through the aviaries. These guests got to watch training sessions that took place inside enclosures, meet birds who came out to the weathering yard, and speak with interns about just how important raptors are. Where previously fewer than 70 people ever made it through the aviaries in one day, suddenly there were hundreds.
Ole, a peregrine falcon, opens his wings to sun himself during a program.
The best part though, is the way it has impacted the birds. Hans (Eurasian eagle owl) and Zilla (lanner-saker falcon) now have such enriching views that they choose to be down low in their enclosures all day, even taking naps in front of guests. Most of our guests have never seen an owl up close, much less an owl's eyelids (owl eyelids are covered in tiny, adorable feathers). My co-workers and I spent most of our day outside, talking with guests and training birds on display. Perhaps the most special moment of the day was Ole the peregrine falcon spending several minutes standing on the glove with his wings spread wide, soaking up the sun. His current enclosure is pretty small and dark. Until he gets moved into a new one, he can now comfortably spend some time out in the open every day.
So for now, we're in a good place. When the busy tourism season is over, it's on to phase two: construction. The new enclosures will be finished by the end of October and the birds will finally get their sweet new digs. The journey has been absolutely wild. We've all learned skills way outside our fields. We've all done work we never expected to. And although we've made a lot of compromises, I am sincerely proud of this accomplishment. I'm thankful for the support I've had along the way and grateful to my predecessor for having the vision. Most of all, I'm excited to see the Foundation continue improving and striving to be better.
Very well written. Your passion shows through. Will be there next month to view the progress.

Q: Why does map on textFile cause Compilation failed? I'm running scala code from this tutorial.
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
val data: RDD[Array[String]] = sc.textFile("pathToFile")
  .map(line => {
    val splits: Array[String] = line.trim.split(',')
  })

I get the following error:

[error]  found   : Unit [error]
  required: Array[String] [error]
  }) [error]
   ^ [error] one error found [error]
  (compile:compileIncremental) Compilation failed

A: You'v created variable but does not return it. Remove assignment to variable and you'll get expected data type.
-val splits: Array[String] = line.trim.split(',')
+line.trim.split(',')

A: As Mr V says, you're not returning the value. Scala doesn't require an explicit return statement, and will return the last value in a function. In your case though you're assigning a value to a variable. If you get rid of that assignment, scala will treat it as the return value. This means you can make your code even terser:
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
val data: RDD[Array[String]] = sc.textFile("pathToFile").map(_.trim.split(','))

The _ character in .map(_.trim.split(',')) is shorthand for the parameter passed to the function - in this case it's the same as what you called line above.
You also don't need to declare the variable type, but when working with RDDs I find it a useful safety net to declare it. However, you can safely get rid of it from the map function since scala will typecheck that it returns something compatible with RDD[Array[String]] (which, as I say, is optional).

A: Hi Bob try this way (as scala infer types)
val data = sc.textFile("pathToFile")
val splits =   data.map(line =>  line.trim.split(','))


15 September 2014 – Democracy, the government of citizens by citizens, is today recognized as a universal value based on the freely expressed will of people to determine their own political, economic, social and cultural systems.
There is no single version of democracy. Many countries practice different types, be they direct participation, or indirectly through elected leaders, thus democracy is constantly growing. But all hold one aspect in common: the people govern themselves and no one person or group can force their ideas to stand above the rest.
As the world moves into the post-2015 phase, well into the new millennium, it faces both old, and new, challenges. Challenges which will affect the future, and which will need future generations to guide the world through.
As we celebrate the International Day of Democracy today, we mark the importance of the participation of youth in democracy. Youth, people between the ages of 15 and 25, constitute one fifth of the worlds population. Yet, this important demographic is growing disinterested in political involvement. Study after study shows declining faith among young people in politics as we know it, with decreasing levels of participation in elections, political parties and traditional social organizations across the world.
Democracy is as much a process as a goal, and only with the full participation of and support by the international community, national governing bodies, civil society and individuals, can the ideal of democracy be made into a reality to be enjoyed by everyone, everywhere. Though traditional youth participation is declining, it is not disappearing, simply changing forms.
Informal, youth-led movements for democratic change are on the rise in a number of countries – including in fragile states. Using new communication channels in social networks, young people are making their mark on democracy building in untraditional ways. For today's Day of Democracy, youth can share their thoughts on social media using the hashtag #DemocracyDay.

Lion Is Losing Fight Against 20 Hyenas, Bro Hears His Cries And Rushes To Save Him
Wildlife documentaries are intense, probably because you know anything can happen. And this one will definitely have your blood rushing as well. Recently, BBC Earth has shared a clip from their documentary series, Dynasties, and it shows a lion named Red, finding himself surrounded by a pack of over twenty blood-thirsty hyenas.
As Red tries to growl and fend off the hungry pack, the hyenas cackle, paw and bite at him in an attempt to wear him down. Scroll down to check out how the intense battle ended.
More info: bbcearth.com | YouTube
"As they mature, young males begin to explore the boundaries of the pride's territory." - the narrator explains
"Red has ventured out alone. And blundered straight into the middle of the hyena town."
"He's trapped. By over 20 of them."
"The pack tries to wear him down. this number of hyenas could kill him."
"It's impossible to fight them all at once. He can't keep them at bay for much longer. He is tiring fast."

Second acts for IT visionaries are rare. Sure, Steve Jobs is living large again over at Apple Computer Inc., but what has Ethernet inventor Robert Metcalfe been up to of late? How about Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen? All doing noble work, no doubt, but, hey, they're not exactly banging the big bass drum in the ceaseless parade of new IT paradigms. Now John Newton is hoping to command center stage in the document management arena again.
Newton, in case you're not ensconced in the world of enterprise content management systems, cofounded Documentum, now owned by EMC Corp. of Hopkinton, Mass. He thought about widescale electronic content management back when most of us still saved WordPerfect documents on big floppy disks.
Now he's chief technical officer of a new ECM company, Alfresco Software Inc. of Berkshire, United Kingdom. When we caught up with Newton at the AIIM content management conference in Philadelphia, we had to ask, 'What does Alfresco's product offer that other products miss?' Ease of use was his answer. Newton describes Alfresco's Enterprise Network application as 'ECM for people who do not want to use ECM.' Unlike most ECM systems, Enterprise Network stays in the background, unnoticed by users.
Technically speaking, Enterprise Network is basically Java software that mimics a shared-file drive. Users save files on the repository as they normally would, and administrators set up rules on how to handle those documents. A document can trigger a workflow process, be turned into PDF, watermarked, annotated with metadata or run through security checks. 'You could put rules on any folder inside the repository,' Newton said.
When the company first posted the open-source software, 'we expected to get 10,000 downloads,' he said. They underestimated. Now over 250,000 copies have been downloaded. Perhaps Newton is on to something'again.


The Uffizi Gallery is arguably the best gallery for Italian Renaissance art and one of the greatest art treasure troves in the world. Built in 1584 as an office (uffizi) for the Medici family, the collection opened to the public in 1769 and is today one of the most frequented art galleries in the world.
In a tour of this gallery, one can see the full evolution from Medieval to Renaissance art and the glory of the 15th century from Giotto to Titian. The largest hall houses well known works of Botticelli, such as the "Birth of Venus" and "Allegory of Spring." The list of famous works housed in the Uffizi goes on and on.


Following their hugely successful launch at the Quedam Centre last month, the newly opened Boswells café are pleased to announce their first charity Sports Day event, which will take place on the April 28.
After opening their doors in the shopping centre on March 16, the family-run café restaurant has quickly become a popular choice for delicious food and drink in Yeovil. Having already received a 5 star hygiene rating and created 25 new jobs in the local area, Boswells are continuing to integrate into the community by taking part in various local events, and are now set to run one of their own.
Jamie Kershaw, Opening Manager of Boswells explained how running the Yeovil Half Marathon was just the start of exciting things to come. "I took part in my first competitive run a couple of years ago at the Bath Half, raising money for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund (PCRF). This is a charity that is very close to our family business as our founder, Jeremy Burn, was taken by the disease in 2012. I wanted to run to help raise money and awareness of this silent killer. Yeovil Half was a warm up for the London Marathon which I'm really excited for".
Nick Burn, Managing Director of Boswells said, "As a family we really appreciate Jamie's efforts in supporting the PCRF. Raising awareness of a disease that took our father so suddenly is a must, which is why Jamie's not only running but has also organised a sports day which will take place on the April 28. Jamie has been with us for about ten years, going above and beyond in everything he does so we're keen to get behind him for the London Marathon and cheer him on".
The Sports Day, in aid of PCRF and open to the whole community, is taking place on April 28 from 10am to 4pm in and around the Boswells Café in the Quedam Shopping Centre. All money raised will be combined with that raised from the Yeovil Half and London Marathon and donated to Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund.


I'm a 26 year old female from the Netherlands. I speak Dutch, English and conversational Japanese. I have two months of previous travel experience in Japan, mostly focused in the southern region in Japan (Kyushu) and I've hit the bigger cities (Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo) during a two week travel.
I'm planning on a trip from September 23 to October 17, starting off with a midweek in Tokyo with a short sidetrip to Saitama.
I'm still working on my travel itinerary, but I'm planning on a stop in the Nagano prefecture for an onsen/hike combination with another stop at Kamikochi (near Takayama) for another onsen/hiking combination in the Japanese Alps. Along the route there will be a few bigger cities such as Toyama, Nagano and Kanazawa with a detour to Nagasaki to get a feel of Dutch/Japanese history and Gunkanjima as a side trip.
On the last leg is a visit to Okunoshima aka Rabbit Island. It's an island filled with fluffy rabbits and a dark history. There was a poison gas plant on the island and there are some interesting ruins and a museum to visit.
If you happen to be in Japan around that time and want to meet up for a leg of the journey, let me know.
I'd love to have someone else to share the beauty of Japan with!
I have no preference when it comes to gender or age.
A good grasp of the English language is preferred.
I will be in Japan September 17 to October 7 to watch three world rugby championship matches.
I am looking for a hiking companion.
I plan to hike the Kumano Kodo Trail (Kohechi). Time permitting maybe a portion of the Nakasendo Trail.
Hiking from onsen to onsen is definitely a great way to see and experience Japan. My travel plans are not set in stone...I am flexible.


This past Sunday we celebrated Grandma Apple's 80th birthday. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting this little treasure let me tell you…she is literally the living best. When you tell her how adorable she is she responds by saying…I know! She is an amazing woman who taught us all that family comes first no matter what.
I find her to be a total inspiration and I loved nothing more than when me, Kristina(the pregnant one) and Kelly(the one with the little blonde cutie attached to her) were little and we used to go spend time with her in little Washington, NC during the summers.
We would make mud pies with crab apples, build cities in the back yard, make a slip n slide with a tarp, walk through the cemeteries and visit haunted houses. We were also allowed to eat anything we wanted in any quantity that we wanted it! She worked in an elementary school cafeteria and would bring us home school pizza…this began the makings of a future chubster!
Having said that, I wanted to show up to this lovely party that my mom (who could give Martha Stewart a run for her money any day) prepared to stick to my new Paleo guns.
I signed up to bring three dishes so that my bases were more covered. And my awesome sister made avocado deviled eggs so that they were paleo friendly and my fantastic cousin (I ask her everyday if she is pregnant…I don't know why but at nine months it cracks me up) made paleo lemon squares. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by such amazingly supportive people!
Any who…here are the recipes and pictures of the dishes we made. Overall the day was a total success. There was a great turn out…I love my family so much, Grandma had a great time and raked in on the gift cards and I managed to walk away unscathed food wise from a family gathering.
The beautiful dessert table which would have called to me like sirens in my former life!
Ok seriously here are the recipes!!!
Enjoy!!! They were all delish!!!!!!!!! Ps Jenny says hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Don't forget about Fat Back Friday tomorrow. We love y'all!!!!!
Love this post!! Almost made me cry did!! You inspire us!!! I love you!!!
You are so supportive! I just love you!

Q: Position of TextBox inside TabItem (WPF, C#) I creating TabItems dynamically. Inside TabItem I want to add TextBox.
How can I set up position of TextBox?
GenerateTabControlModel gtcm = new GenerateTabControlModel();

 for (int x = 0; x <= gtcm.getTabNumber();x++)
  {
   TabItem tab = new TabItem();
   tab.Header = x.ToString();
   tab.Width = 30;
   tab.Height = 20;
   string sometext = "tab number: " + x.ToString();

   TextBox tb = new TextBox();
   tb.Text = sometext;
   tb.Height = 25;
   tb.Width = 120;

   tab.Content = tb;

   TCDynamo.Items.Add(tab);
  }

A: Using Margin property. Let's say you want to position your TextBox at { X: 20, Y: 35 } :
tb.Margin = new Thickness (20, 35, 0, 0);

Alternatively if it's parent is Canvas you can use Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top properties :
Cavnas.SetLeft(tb, 20);
Canvas.SetTop(tb, 35);

Another alternative is to use RenderTransform or LayoutTransform and set TranslateTransform into these properties :
tb.RenderTransform = new TranslateTransform(20, 35);

Марцеллин (лат. Marcellinus, греч. Μαρκελλιανός; убит в ) — влиятельный военачальник Западной Римской империи, главнокомандующий в Далмации (magister militum Dalmatiae), фактически независимый владетель Далмации (454—468), Сицилии (459—461 и 464—468) и Сардинии (468 год), патриций.

Биография

Происхождение и начало карьеры
Марцеллин принадлежал к благородной семье и получил хорошее образование — со временем он прославился как философ и прорицатель. Смолоду он выбрал военную карьеру, успешно служил под началом самого известного командующего той эпохи Аэция, и к сентябрю 454 года возвысился до звания  comes rei militaris Dalmatiae  (военный комендант Далмации). В то время его и застали новости о том, что его начальник Аэций был коварно убит императором и многие его сторонники перебиты. Марцеллин, возможно, опасаясь расправы над собой, воспользовался моментом и поднял мятеж. При поддержке Константинополя он узурпировал власть над вверенной ему Далмацией и укрепил её в последующие годы. Центр мятежного владения находился в Салоне (современный Сплит).
Историк Прокопий Кесарийский написал об этих событиях следующее:
«Был в это время в Далмации некто Марцеллиан, один из близких людей Аэция, человек, пользовавшийся большой известностью. Когда Аэций умер… он не счел нужным далее оказывать повиновение василевсу, но восстал против него, побудив отложиться и всех других; сам он захватил власть над Далмацией, поскольку никто не осмелился прямо пойти на него войной».
Марцеллину достались стоявшие в Далмации отряды (в основном, из наёмников-гуннов) и флот, базировавшийся в Адриатическом море, что сделало его положение в центральном Средиземноморье довольно значительным. Впоследствии правительство Восточной Римской империи признало за ним пост главнокомандующего Далмации (magister militum Dalmatiae).

Может быть в 456—457 годах Марцеллин участвовал в заговоре с целью захватить трон Западной империи. Такой вывод можно сделать на основании одного из писем Сидония Аполлинария, в котором говорится о некоем заговорщике по имени Марцеллин (по другим трактовкам, Марцелл).

Сотрудничество с Майорианом и захват Сицилии
В 459 году западный император Майориан признал за Марцеллином право на владение Далмацией (хотя номинально провинция осталась неотъемлемой частью Империи). При поддержке Майориана Марцеллин атаковал вандалов, выбил их с Сицилии и присоединил остров к своим владениям, получив от императора в награду пост  comes rei militaris Siciliae.
Майориан имел амбициозные планы по завоеванию вандальской Африки, в которых Марцеллину отводилась важная роль: он должен был атаковать вандалов с востока (с Сицилии), в то время как император ударил бы по ним с запада (с Испании). Согласовав план действий, Майориан отправился с главными силами через Галлию в Испанию, куда и прибыл в мае 460 года. Но его всесильный полководец Рицимер, опасавшийся усиления влияния как Майориана, так и Марцеллина, сделал все, чтобы поход провалился. Вследствие его интриг Марцеллин был изгнан с Сицилии. Историк Приск Панийский по этому поводу сообщает следующее:
«Марцеллин оставил остров, потому что Рицимер старался отвлечь у него войско и переманить к себе. Он подкупал бывших у Марцеллина скифов, — их у него имелось много, — чтобы заставить их покинуть Марцеллина. Устрашенный кознями Рицимера и будучи не в состоянии состязаться с ним в богатстве, Марцеллин был вынужден бежать».
Марцеллин вернулся в Далмацию, и Сицилия была вновь захвачена вандалами.
Вскоре после этого провалился и предпринятый Майорианом поход. Императору пришлось возвращаться в Италию сушей. По возвращении он был убит Рицимером.

При дворе Майориана интересы Марцеллина представлял его родственник Непоциан. Он был награждён императором постом магистра армии (в знак признания заслуг Марцеллина), и успешно сражался со свевами в испанской Галисии летом 460 года.

Соперничество с Рицимером и захват Сардинии
После падения Майориана его убийца Рицимер возвел на трон свою марионетку луканца Ливия Севера Серпентия. Марцеллин не признал новую власть. В это время, по некоторым данным, он готовил большой поход в Италию. В 464 году его отряды высадились на Сицилии и вторично захватили остров. Это, равно как и слухи о грядущем походе, встревожили Рицимера, и он при посредничестве Константинополя начал переговоры с Марцеллином. К последнему был отправлен посол по имени Филарх, который смог убедить Марцеллина не нападать на Италию. О готовящемся походе рассказал Приск Панийский:
«Западные римляне были в страхе, чтоб могущество Маркеллиново не возросло, и чтоб он не обратил на них оружия в то самое время, как дела их были запутаны: с одной стороны беспокоила их сила вандалов, с другой Эгидий… По этой причине западные римляне отправили посольство к восточным, и просили их о примирении их с Маркеллином и с вандалами. Филарх, отправленный к Маркеллину, убедил его не обращать оружия против римлян; но тот, кто был послан к вандалам, воротился без успеха…»
12 апреля 467 года Марцеллин сопровождал западного императора Антемия во время его прибытия в Рим. В эти же дни, по-видимому, император наградил его титулом патриция. Антемий в союзе с восточным императором Львом I сразу же начал готовить масштабную экспедицию против вандалов. Марцеллина назначили главнокомандующим армии Западной Римской империи — в его задачу входил захват Сардинии. Он блестяще справился с этой задачей, но по общим результатам поход оказался провальным. Прокопий Кесарийский записал о событиях на Сардинии следующее:
«Расточая этому Марцеллиану много любезностей, василевс Лев привлек его на свою сторону и поручил ему напасть на Сардинию, находившуюся под властью вандалов. Без особого труда изгнав оттуда вандалов, он захватил там власть».

Смерть
К 468 году Марцеллин подчинил себе Далмацию, Сицилию и Сардинию. Встревоженный его успехами, Рицимер вновь начал плести против него интриги. Марцеллину пришлось бежать с Сардинии, где взбунтовались его отряды, на Сицилию, но и здесь вспыхнул бунт. В августе 468 года, во время ссоры с одним из своих командиров Марцеллин был убит. Его владение в Далмации наследовал Юлий Непот, его племянник и будущий император.
По словам Дамаския, заклятый враг Марцеллина король вандалов Гензерих отреагировал на его убийство словами:
«Они (римляне) своей левой рукой отрубили себе правую».

Итоги деятельности
Марцеллин оказался способным военачальником и политиком. Он умело лавировал между Римом и Константинополем, громил вандалов на море, представлял угрозу для Рицимера и, сумев создать в Далмации прочное владение, дал этому региону относительный мир на многие годы.
Его власть, безусловно, была выгодной западным императорам, прежде всего потому, что он взял на себя защиту Далмации, с чем вряд ли могло бы справиться правительство метрополии.

Pope appoints new Bishop of Northampton
David Oakley will be the new Bishop of Northampton
Phoebe Radford
The Pope has appointed a new Bishop of Northampton to replace Bishop Peter Doyle, who is retiring at the age of 75.
In an announcement on Twitter, the Northampton Diocese said: "We are delighted to announce that The Holy Father has appointed Canon David Oakley, a priest of the Archdiocese of Birmingham and currently rector of St Mary's College, Oscott, to be the thirteenth Bishop of Northampton."
The diocese of Northampton covers Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire north of the river Thames.
At 11am today (Wednesday) there was a brief ceremony of welcome at the Cathedral.
The twelfth bishop of Northampton, Peter Doyle, was ordained as Bishop of Northampton in June 2005, which was the first senior appointment to the Roman Catholic Church in Britain by Pope Benedict XVI.
Bishop Doyle decided to retire following his 75th birthday on May 3, 2019. He offered his resignation to the Pope but has remained bishop until the successor was appointed.
In a statement, the diocese said: "Bishop Peter Doyle rejoices in this good news. The Bishop has worked closely with Bishop Elect David during his seven years as rector of the seminary at Oscott, and knows him to be a man of faith and prayer, and a pastoral priest and wise teacher.
"Bishop Peter joins the priests and deacons, and the religious and people of the Diocese of Northampton in giving thanks to God and welcoming Bishop Elect David and praying for him as he prepares for his ordination as Bishop."

Kansas Athletics Announces The Marian E. Washington Trailblazer Series
In honor of Black History Month, Kansas Athletics is recognizing the notable achievements and accomplishments of African-Americans who have helped shape the Jayhawk program throughout the years by creating the Marian E. Washington Trailblazer Series. Each February, this new endeavor will chronicle several prominent African-Americans and their impact on Kansas Athletics.
Quote from KU Director of Athletics Jeff Long:
"We are proud to create this new series honoring the Trailblazers who were paramount in furthering the African-American student-athlete advancement here at KU and beyond. Marian E. Washington's impact is evident when you read and hear stories from those she influenced and how it extends far beyond sports. As the first Women's Athletic Director at the University of Kansas under Title IX, Marian established our women's intercollegiate athletics program under this new federal legislation in 1974. Many young women have benefited greatly from her sacrifices and efforts from the trail she blazed. She is the definition of a trailblazer and we are pleased to properly name this the Marian E. Washington Trailblazer Series."
Quote from Marian E. Washington:
"I'm very excited to be associated with this new KU series. I feel that there are so many people of color that have contributed to our great university and it's wonderful that we're giving our fanbase, alums and community an opportunity to learn more about them. It's a real honor for me and it's one of the most important initiatives that we preserve and tell the stories of these great Kansas Jayhawk trailblazers. This series will provide a legacy my family will be very proud of."
During the month of February, the series will honor one Trailblazer per week detailed below. Each individual being recognized will have highlights featuring their impact at KU as well as interviews from those who interacted with or were influenced by these remarkable individuals. On Thursday, February 6th, Marian E. Washington joins The Jayhawker Podcast to share stories of her time at KU and what being a Trailblazer means to her.

A veteran herself of the anti-apartheid struggle, Winnie Mandela died on Monday afternoon, her personal assistant said.
"She died after a long illness, for which she had been in and out of hospital since the start of the year," Victor Dlamini, a family spokesperson, said in a statement on Monday.
Born in the Eastern Cape's Bizana town in 1936, Nomzamo Winifred Madikizela moved to Johannesburg in 1953 to pursue studies in social work before meeting Nelson Mandela, her future husband who was then an anti-apartheid campaigner.
Winnie Mandela developed a reputation as an uncompromising opponent of the then-predominant racial segregation system.
Al Jazeera's Catherine Soi, reporting from Johannesburg, said her family described her as a strong woman who relentlessly fought for the majority black population's rights.
"Her family gave a very moving tribute about how they said she really is the face of the struggle against apartheid," she said.
Winnie Mandela was married to Nelson Mandela from 1958 to 1996, although for almost three decades of that time they were separated due to his imprisonment.
Despite their separation two years after his release in 1990, and their divorce in 1996, she kept his surname and maintained ties with him.
Late on Monday, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the Soweto home of Winnie Mandela and paid tribute to her.
"The death of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is a great loss in that she has been one of the strongest women in our struggle who suffered immensely under the apartheid regime," he said.
"She remained strong, she remained determined, she was courageous and in many ways she was also very stubborn.
A memorial service will be held on April 11 and a national official funeral on April 14, Ramaphosa said.


In this post we will be discussing the Windows visual effects under the performance settings and how to automatically apply them. Windows performance settings allow you to tweak the visual aspect of your desktop to either improve it visually or speed up its performance. If you aren't aware of these options, click right on Computer and select Properties, click Advanced Setting, under the Performance section select the settings button as shown below.
Q1. Why would you want to change these setting?
A1. In my case I use these setting to increase the performance of a VDI session over high latency Internet links. Disabling these options reduces how much is refreshed on the screen when receiving a PCOIP connection from VDI remotly.
Q2. Why would you want to automaitly set these options?
A2. As mentioned, VDI is my main use for these options and unfotunanlty you cannot pre define these option on on a per desktop basis. These options are reflecedt on a per user basis meaning if i login to a machine and turn off all visual effects options the log out. The next person that logs in will also have to set these options as there are defined in the users local profile. unfortunanly redirected profiles do not carry these options.
As with a VDI enviroment you cannot expect every user that logs on to modify there own settings for best performance, i needed a way to automate this. To do so i created two registry files that apply the correct setting on logon and log off. Sadly not all optiosn apply from a simgle execution of thye script.
The way i managed to do this was by creating a batch scprit to pull the registry files from a file share and apply them through a login script assigned in group policy. Simple but effective.
User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/logoff). Double clike this item and click Add then enter the path to the batch script including its extention. See below for me detail.
I would rcomment adding this as both a logon and logoff script to minimise the number of logins a user has to perform. With both logon and logoff set, a single login / logout will fully apply the changes.
Thanks for reading and remember to lookout for future posts on perfromance tweaking.


Go over to your new place before moving in and take pictures, particularly of any damage. This proves you did not do it if the landlord wants you to pay for it. While you are at it, clean the bathroom and kitchen and make sure there is enough toilet paper, soap, and towels for moving day. Maybe add some disposable dishes for feeding the movers and the number of the local pizza delivery guy.
Pack everything you will need to get ready for the day after moving in an overnight bag. This includes toiletries, change of clothing, night gear as well as electronics along with their chargers.
Pack everything you will need FIRST in a clear plastic box. This differentiates it from the cardboard boxes and lets anyone know where the box cutter, tools, trash bags, etc. are for instant access.
Use plastic wrap to temporarily cover loose items in drawers or to keep jewelry displays in one easily moved piece.
Take a picture of the way electronics are set up before disconnecting everything. As you disassemble components, put the little pieces in baggies, label them and tape it to the item.
If you need way to cover your clothing you can push your hangers together in groupings that can be tied at the top. Then slide a garbage bag up over the clothing and tie the handles of the bag around the hangers.
Pack everything before your movers show up. Label the boxes with the contents and color code them for the new rooms. You can also put the same color on the doorframe so movers will easily know where to stack the boxes.
If you have many valuable, fragile possessions, use a professional mover like RJ Moving who know how to handle them.
So whether the move is as short as from Minnetonka to Edina or as long-distance as moving to Minneapolis from out of state, think through the moving process and use some of these tricks to make moving a snap.


Prunus mexicana, commonly known as the Mexican plum, is a North American species of plum tree that can be found in the central United States and Northern Mexico. Its native range stretches from Coahuila and San Luis Potosí north as far as Wisconsin and South Dakota, east to Georgia, Kentucky, and Ohio. Mexican Plum is widely cultivated, such as on the west coast of the United States.
Prunus mexicana var. fultonensis (Sarg.) Sarg.
Prunus mexicana var. polyandra (Sarg.) Sarg.
Prunus americana var. lanata Sudw.
Prunus mexicana is usually found on woodland edges or in open fields. It has a single trunk and reaches a height of 15–38 feet (4.6–11.6 m). It has dark green, simple ovate leaves, fragrant white or pale pink flowers, and dark grey bark banded with horizontal lenticels. Mexican Plums are adaptable to a wide range of soil pH and are drought-tolerant. They are hardy in USDA zones 7 to 9. Early in the spring it is covered with clouds of white fragrant flowers that are up to an inch wide. The dark red or purple fruit ripens late in the fall.
Prunus mexicana is very similar to Prunus americana, and they intergrade along a broad contact zone centered around Arkansas and Missouri. These intermediate individuals may be impossible to assign to a specific species.
Prunus mexicana is included in the section Prunocerasus.

Nico Williams strike sees Athletic Bilbao past Atletico Madrid into Super Cup final | Football News
Bilbao set up a showpiece clash on Sunday against Real Madrid, who beat Barcelona 3-2on Wednesday.
Athletic Bilbao substitute Nico Williams struck late in the second half to give the Spanish Super Cup holders a 2-1 come-from-behind win over LaLiga champions Atletico Madrid in Thursday's semi-final.
After a slow-paced first period in Riyadh's half-empty King Fahd stadium the teams woke up when Atletico went ahead just past the hour with an own goal by Bilbao keeper Unai Simon.
Thomas Lemar's corner from the right was met by the head of Joao Felix whose effort struck the post, only for the ball to hit the back of the diving Simon and cross the line.
Bilbao equalised with another header from a corner as Yeray Alvarez found the net from close range in the 77th minute.
They then piled the pressure on Atletico, whose goalkeeper Jan Oblak made three excellent saves.
But even the outstanding Oblak could not keep out Williams's low shot from a rebound on the edge of the area that went in off the post nine minutes from time.
Atletico defender Jose Maria Gimenez was sent off in stoppage time for a strong challenge on Inigo Martinez.
"I have dreamed of this moment with my brother many times," Williams, young brother of Athletic striker Inaki, told reporters.
"Their goal was a hard blow, but we are as tough as nails and we know how to bounce back. We are prepared for any challenge and now we'll face a tough opponent in Real Madrid. We go all-in and let's hope we win another Super Cup."
Fourth in the LaLiga standings, 16 points behind leaders Real Madrid, Atletico are in a slump and pressure is mounting on their manager Diego Simeone.
"We did not defend well, we have to work and get better," Simeone told a news conference. "We believe in the work we do. We seek to improve. We have to improve… we are lacking the necessary aggressiveness."

Signature Gives Back Hosts 2nd Powerhouse Charity Golf Tournament to "Be the Change"
The charitable arm of The Signature Real Estate Companies executes another charity golf tournament at the prestigious Gleneagles Country Club, Delray Beach, FL in support of children undergoing complex limb-corrective surgery at The Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute at St. Mary's Hospital. Signature Gives Back guest-hosts eight-year-old golf prodigy, Tommy Morrissey, famous one-arm golfer, knocks down barriers and shows world athletics knows no bounds.

"Helping children is chief among our goals. Our Signature team members represent the best and brightest of philanthropists, providing frequent funding and volunteer hours to several local charities...." --Ben G. Schachter
BOCA RATON, Fla. (PRWEB) December 02, 2019
Welcoming the day with a variety of golfers at the prestigious Gleneagles Country Club, Nov. 7, 2019, Signature Gives Back (SGB), the philanthropic arm of The Signature Real Estate Companies (Signature), rang in the day's charge of fundraising, saluting veterans worldwide and hosting 8-year-old, one-arm golf prodigy, Tommy Morrissey, for another highly successful golf tournament.
"Events such as charity golf tournaments require a lot of creativity, hard work, and perseverance. We certainly were blessed to have so many passionate and hard-working volunteers," says Jack Jaiven, SGB Committee Co-Chair and Executive Vice President & Principal of Signature.
"With Presenting Sponsor, Signature Home Warranty (Powered by Cinch Home Services)—and 15 other major sponsors--we couldn't have asked for a more successful South Florida event in the company of our REALTORS®, affiliates, partners, vendors and community at large. We turn our most special thanks to our incredibly gifted and committed Event Chairs: Wendy Pressner, Ivan M Benjamin, Jr., Gayle Elliott, Melainey Gunning, Rachel and Robert Gleichenhaus, John Goss, Jr., and Judy LeComte."
Says Pressner, SGB Committee Co-Chair, "We placed a fantastic amount of energy and passion into producing this tournament and, because of this, we executed a highly successful event. Ivan M Benjamin, Jr., a fellow Vice President on the SGB Board of Directors, agrees.
"Our team members prove to our other SGB stakeholders that working together persistently and with allegiance is the best route we can take to serve our community's ongoing needs. There are many, and ours is an open-door policy. We listen carefully to learn how we can help."
Past grant recipients (Best Foot Forward and Showering Love), as well as sponsors Delray Honda, Bridgestone Golf, Simply the Best magazine, The American Fundraising Foundation (AmFund, with "trips of a lifetime"), and Hoffman's Chocolates joined the charity, "fun-raising" affair, adds Jaiven.
Broker-President & Principal of Signature, Ben G. Schachter, took the day to attend the tournament and had this to say upon reflection:
"Moderating the awards cocktail reception and silent auction, spending time with Tommy and all of our guests, I couldn't think of any place more important to be that day. Helping children is chief among our goals. Our Signature team members represent the best and brightest of philanthropists, providing frequent funding and volunteer hours to several local charities, including The Soup Kitchen, Habitat for Humanity, Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, and an impressive array of other charities."
Last month, during a tour of the unLIMBited Foundation at The Paley Institute, SGB Board of Directors officers visited the youngest of its grant recipients, two-year-old Dameon Hunt of North Carolina, following his second (successful) surgery to lengthen both legs. Proceeds from last year's SGB-sponsored golf tournament played a crucial role in supporting Dameon and his family with their housing costs during and after his surgery. The unLIMBited Foundation at The Paley Institute coordinated his surgical and housing plans, with Tommy's mom and Honorary Chair of the golf tournament, Marcia Morrissey, at the helm.
Also, in October, Pressner, Benjamin, Jr., and LeComte joined The Morrissey Family at an intimate fundraiser, "Barrels and Bites," hosted by The Paley Institute's namesake, surgeon Dr. Dror Paley, and his wife. The takeaway was a strengthened resolve to convey to fellow Signature team members and SGB supporters the intricacies of complex limb-correction surgery and the ongoing housing accommodations needed by pediatric patients and their accompanying families.
Signature Gives Back encourages all Signature team members to "Be the Change You Wish to See in The World." Learn the best way through SignatureGivesBack.com.

The Class Of 2016 Is Both Practical And Idealistic About Their Job Prospects
Armed with diplomas and burdened with historic debt loads, recent college graduates are both optimistic and pragmatic.
[Photo: Flickr user Community College of Vermont]
By now you may have heard that the economic future of the Class of 2016 is looking relatively bright. The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that their job prospects are better than any other class since 2009.
For this cohort of newly minted careerists, optimism is running high despite the debt load many will carry along with their diplomas. Last year's graduates emerged into the work world with an average of $35,051 in student loan debt–the highest in history, according to Edvisors.
Passionately Pragmatic
That's perhaps why passion and practicality go hand in hand for this class, according to the fourth annual Accenture Strategy 2016 U.S. College Graduate Employment Study. "The class of 2016 is seeking a fulfilling employee experience in their first job," David Smith, senior managing director, Accenture Strategy, said in a statement. "They are increasingly looking at workplace culture, and benefits other than salary, as important factors when making career decisions."
"They are increasingly looking at workplace culture, and benefits other than salary, as important factors when making career decisions."
Sixty-nine percent of the 1,005 students polled by Accenture in this year's graduating class reported that they selected their major because they were passionate about that area of study. That's 5% less than the 1,013 surveyed who graduated in 2014-2015. But 79% revealed that they considered the availability of jobs in their desired field of work before selecting their major.
Fully half of the students from the class of 2016 surveyed said they believed their area of study would provide them with a good long-term career and 42% reported they thought there would be a lot of job opportunities in their major. Less than a quarter (23%) of these students chose their major based on how much money they could make in that field, though.
Their pragmatic passion has paid off so far. Accenture found that 21% of the Class of 2016 accepted a job before graduation, up from 12% last year and 11% two years ago.
Culture And Career Advancement Over Cash
Given those findings, it's not totally surprising that nearly three-quarters (70%) of the class of 2016 said they wanted to work in a positive environment, even if that meant a smaller paycheck. They aren't as willing to forgo benefits, though. Fifty-five percent say they want to be employed full time (rather than as freelance or contract workers) to take advantage of health insurance or other benefits.
Nearly all (92%) of graduates said it's important for their employer to demonstrate social responsibility. And a little less than a third (30%) believe that it's also important for employers to offer meaningful work and create opportunities for them to make a difference.
This year's graduates want to have fun, but they also want to keep learning. That's why 80% said they expect their first employer to formally train them on the job and 77% expect that their experience will further their career. This may be why the students were three times more likely to report that they wanted to work for a small- or medium-sized business as opposed to the 14% who said they preferred getting a job a a big corporation. On-the-job training may be a stretch goal either way, as Accenture found that a little over half (54%) of 2014/2015 graduates reported actually receiving it.
Continuing their education also means going back to school. Thirty-seven percent of the graduates in this study believe advanced degrees will be necessary to further their career. This squares with recent findings from CareerBuilder which indicate that employers are bumping up education requirements for open positions that used to only necessitate an undergraduate degree.
Of course, expectations don't often match the realities of the workplace. The career optimism of 88% of these graduates who believe they'll be snagging a job in their field of study is in sharp contrast to the number of 2014-2015 graduates who actually made this happen.
Underemployment is closer to their reality as 51% of 2014/2015 graduates reporting working in jobs that do not require their college degree, a steady increase of 10% since 2013.
As Fast Company reported previously, EPI's researchers found that the number of underemployed graduates has been on the rise since 2007, and the jobs are of "lower quality" now.
Fifteen years ago, even though half of college grads were in jobs that didn't require a degree, they could be found in career paths that paid well, such as dental hygienist or electrician. What's more, their employers provided health benefits and pensions. Now graduates are more likely to take low-wage jobs, such as bartender, food server, or cashier, without the attendant benefits or compensation for overtime.
No wonder even their salary estimates don't stack up with reality. The majority (82%) of 2016 graduates expect to earn more than $25,000 in their first job, yet 39% of 2014/2015 graduates reported making $25,000 or less.
That's actually worse if you are a woman. According to the EPI, the gender wage gap among this year's male and female college graduates is as high as $4.

Light is such an integral part of my work. It is so powerful in influencing what we see and feel; how we perceive colours and shapes and even our emotions. All of it is exciting, from the bold and brash to the soft and subdued.
I am currently working on two series. The first is a series of tropical leaf paintings with six pieces complete and more on the drawing board. In the summer months I grow Canna lilies in pots so that I am able to move them around freely to catch the light through their leaves. The light is everything. It has the ability to change the colours of the Tropicana lilies from dark and nondescript to something vibrant and glowing. The leaves turn from deep burgundy to vibrant reds, oranges and corals, all with exquisite veining and they contrast against the greens of the other Canna leaves. This series will eventually include banana and castor bean plants.
The second series is driftwood pieces. There are currently four pieces completed and a number more in the planning stage. Each piece of driftwood has a distinct personality. The colours and textures intrigue me; the way the sun and salt have bleached the wood and the surf has pounded it smooth, revealing the whirls and twirls of the grain and the golden, fuzzy areas that have been shredded by the sea. In almost every piece of driftwood there are stones; some large and some tiny, that have been forced into the crevices by the power of the ocean. When I am able to find a piece of driftwood that is bathed in sunlight as in "Let There Be Light" or "Illumination" it is such a bonus!
