In past blog posts, I have featured the modernization efforts of the base Kalashnikov rifle that resulted in the 5.45×39 AK-12. What many people do not know is that this was just part of a much broader Russian program to create a future infantry combat system. The name of this program is "Ratnik" (Ратник) that translates as warrior.
While R&D started ear;lier, prototype Ratnik kits for the first generation components were delivered in 2013. Firearms, optics, communication, navigation, uniform, load bearing and body armor elements were accepted into service on October 23, 2014. Approximate 200,000 sets were delivered by September 2017, and 100% adoption is estimated in 2020 of the Ratnik-2 system. Ratnik-3 hasn't been released yet but the suit will include a powered exoskeleton to improve strength, speed and stamina.
Overall, what you are seeing is a concerted move away from the Soviet doctrine of volumes of relative untrained and marginally equipped armed forces personnel (all branches exclude Spetsnaz) to that of a professional modern force of trained and well equipped soldiers.

If you haven't heard about Polymer80, they have come out with a really straight forward way to make a pistol using Glock parts. You aren't going to really save money but you are going to have a very cool end result that you can customize however you want.
Polymer80 is offering some really innovative products. These are not hacks by any means. I like the grip angle, the texture and the finger groove built into the trigger guard. The whole concept is well executed for guys who like building their own firearms.
Note, Polymer80 products are being sold by a ton of vendors so shop around and watch for sales.
Also, be sure to download and read their instructions. They are well illustrated and have pretty good detail.
In the previous post, I told you about my finding Gunstreamer for firearms videos. What brought me there was that I was searching on Google for Polymer80 build videos.
On Gunstreamer I found this great video of a guy, who is obviously experienced in building Glock pistols, showing a build on a Polymer 80 Pf940V2 80% frame. He steps you through what needs to be done in terms of sanding, filing and drilling with the supplied jig and then he goes on to actually assembling the pistol.
I learned a lot watching the video – he has a solid informative style and shows you what he is doing.
Folks, if you are like me and are sick and tired of the assault by liberals on our second amendment freedoms, you are always looking for sources of firearms advice. Youtube used to be a great source for videos on firearms – everything from reviews, to gunsmithing to build-it-yourself (BIY) guidance. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case – Youtube has turned anti-gun also and I resent it.
So, where can you see videos about firearms? One promising source is Gunstreamer – http://www.gunstreamer.com. I've watched a few videos there now and find the site easy to navigate and there are definitely some quality videos showing up there. Definitely check them out and consider supporting them – I am.
As you know, I tend towards modern military arms but I also have a deep appreciation of craftsmenship and history. While surfing the web one day, I happened across a video about "gunmaking craftsmanship" at Holland & Holland (H&H). It was probably in the mid- to late-1980s when I encountered my first H&H double rifle and it was a functional work of art and I have seen more over the years. So, I added the video to my list of things to watch.
Today, H&H continues the firearm craftsmanship of fine hunting arms – that is their niche. When you watch the video, you will see some automation, such as in the machining of the action, but you will see a tremendous about of handwork. What they turn out are absolutely stunning firearms.
The video steps you through barrel making, the stock, fitting and finishing. It's really neat to watch them at work. If you appreciate fine arms, you really need to watch.
Please note that all images are extracted from the video and remain the property of their respective owner(s).
This amazing video has four parts. First is a private tour of the FB "Łucznik" Radom factory and you will note the extensive automation, cleanliness and attention to detail. The second part is a media group touring the facility and the third is a montage of military groups shooting Beryls and different weapons.
You get to see a variety of weapons including the Mod.96 Beryl, Mod.96 Mini-Beryl, PM-06 and PM-98 submachine guns, the MSBS GROT and more.
Here you have a number of videos assembled to show a ton of shooting of the venerable 7.62x54R PKM machine gun by Spetsnaz operators.
You get to see the drills and they wrap up with some SVD and RPG action. Pretty cool.
This brief video provides an overview of Beretta's facility in Gardone, Val Trompia,Italy. They have a long history of making firearms there and can produce up to 1,500 per day.
Hammer forged barrel machine.Beretta makes a lot of hammer forged barrels and some broach cut barrels for pistols.
The factory is an interesting blend of very automated manufacturing with a lot of robotics and then also old school hand fitting in the assembly area.

"Mothernight" is a third album created by Make Like a Tree.
It's a 10 track indie-ambient folk album that is a quintessention of 3 year world journey around the world.
Every song is a collaboration with a new artist who Sergey has met and involved into Make Like a Tree project during his wanderings around Japan, Kenya, Tanzania, Russia, Ukraine, Austria, Italy, Norway, Catalonia, Armenia.
The name of the album is inspired by the eponymous novel of Kurt Vonnegut that describes a perfect example of "citizen of nowhere". The name refers to the idea that modern society is lost in the middle of the night without any directions to the place where we came from. Night scrapps all the shells and ripping off masks that accrue to our faces makes us look more real.
"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."
Album has been self recorded in a portable home studios in Japan on the suburbs of Tokyo and on beautiful island of Zanzibar polished by the ocean breeze and heavy sunlight of Tanzania.
Mastering is done by Thomas Meidell in Metropolis Studios in Oslo, Norway.
Cover is done by the japaneese painter Youji Otsuki.
This album unites many nations and makes the borders vanish facing the power of music.

Q: Parsing repeating input using regex in python I am new to python and have never used regex and I am being asked to used it in a project.
My input file uses the following style:
tag <itemname> {
    <subitem>
    <subitem> -> possible relationship
    <~subitem> -> this is all irrelevant
    <more subitems>
}

repeating over and over with different tags and varying data of differing lengths. I need to convert this to json, and using unit tests I have already figured out how to reliably do this given I have ONE of these, but I cannot figure out how to reliably parse a file with thousands of the structure above one 'tag' at a time.
Basically, I'm trying to find out how I can read that first line (itemname) and everything between the following two curly braces repetitively from the file and ideally get it into an iterable form that I can work with. Could anyone offer me some advice?

A: If you've a string like so-
tag <itemname> {
    <subitem>
    <subitem> -> possible relationship
    <~subitem> -> this is all irrelevant
    <more subitems>
}

tag <itemname> {
    <subitem>
    <subitem> -> possible relationship
    <~subitem> -> this is all irrelevant
    <more subitems>
    <more subitems>
}

(and possibly many more tags)
And you simply want a list of each tag.
You can use - (tag .+ {\n(?:.+\n)*?})
Check out the demo here
Your code would look like-
s = """tag <itemname> {
    <subitem>
    <subitem> -> possible relationship
    <~subitem> -> this is all irrelevant
    <more subitems>
}

tag <itemname> {
    <subitem>
    <subitem> -> possible relationship
    <~subitem> -> this is all irrelevant
    <more subitems>
    <more subitems>
}
"""

tags = re.findall(r'(tag .+ {\n(?:.+\n)*?})', s)

# Just to test out the tags
for tag in tags:
    print(tag)

Now you can run your own parsing on each tag.

Advent at Nazareth Retreat Center – Week 03
by Spalding Hurst | Dec 13, 2020 | 2 comments
Advent with Nazareth Retreat Center is a series of short reflections on timely issues facing our world today in relation to the Gospel message for each Sunday of Advent. It is the Sisters' hope and prayer that these reflections will be a source of wisdom, insight, inspiration, and closeness to God during a time in our world's history where observing this sacred time of year, as usual, is not possible.
Thank you for listening to these reflections. The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth pray that you have a blessed, safe, and healthy Advent!
REFLECTION FOR THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT 2020
Isaiah 61:1-2a, 10-11 1 Thes. 5:16-24 John 1:6-8, 19-28
Today is Gaudete Sunday, a Latin word that means REJOICE. The Church quietly symbolizes the call to REJOICE by changing from Advent purple to pink or rose-colored vestments.
In the first two readings and in the responsorial psalm we hear the word REJOICE no less than seven times. Isaiah calls the Jewish exiles in Babylon to REJOICE as he proclaims the good news that God, who acts in history, is about to free them from forty years of captivity. (Is. 61:1)
Paul tells the Thessalonians to REJOICE always because the God who calls them is faithful. He assures them that God's sanctifying action is taking place even as they await the second coming of Christ. In the Responsorial Psalm, we ourselves experience a deepening joy as we pray with Mary the familiar words of her Magnificat, "My soul rejoices in my God."
While the gospel does not contain the word REJOICE, it does illuminate the path to the enduring joy proclaimed in the first two scripture readings. In the gospel, we hear an intense dialogue between two sets of messengers: the priests and Levites sent by religious officials in Jerusalem and John, sent from God to bear witness to the light. (Jn.1:8) The Jews from Jerusalem want to know John's identity and credentials. They ask: Who are you? What do you have to say of yourself? Why are you baptizing?
In response, John firmly roots his identity in who he is NOT: He is NOT the Christ, the long-awaited Anointed One who would restore the kingdom to Israel; he is NOT Elijah, the fiery prophet who was expected to return before the coming of the Messiah; he is NOT the Prophet, a spokesperson like Moses who would reveal God's will to the people. (Dt. 18:5)
John describes himself simply as a VOICE crying out in the desert. John's message, like that of Isaiah, was a prophetic call to the people to be AWAKE and AWARE of God's saving action in their lives. (Is. 40:3) John informs the Jews that his baptism Is a ritual of cleansing that signifies a turning towards God, a change of heart, and openness to God's love and grace. (Jn.1:27) Directing the attention of the Jews away from himself, John declares "…there is one among you whom you do not know."

Marilyn, Your words give much to ponder, as I think of myself in relation to 'The Baptist' Such integrity leads the way into what is yet not known. Thank you for opening a door of thoughtful reflection.

Any ideological background of the standard language has its own way of perceiving the writing, the meaning and the word values. On the other side, every era forget its own discourse, and the first task that a new ruling class embarks on is to 'overthrow' the previous discourse in order to introduce a discursive order, which, of course, comes into being as a part of the ideological interests derived from the policy of language. The current standard Albanian variety has experienced the same route, overturning the previous established discourse until 1972, in arbitrary ways that any standard is inclined to follow. Nowadays, the Albanian standard language stands obviously in disharmony with the pre-maturated, pre-standardised - before 1972 - natural state. However, despite tendencies to qualify it as the truest language piedmont, it remains just one of the many language varieties. Consequently, the ideologically proclaimed as true language has much narrower impact than proclaimed, 45 years onward from the Albanian Orthography Congress of 1972, the standard Albanian variety, or the Unified Language (UL), as the linguists of the former communist system used to dub it, remains a new language, or official language (Orwell, 2005) characterised by a new word register, morphology and word order embodied as a representative discourse. (p. 299). However, the ideological shadows of this discourse couldn't cover the rich arch from the dialects which remains vivid today; with the aim of prospecting a new face of the standard language by adding to many ignored sources still alive in the language of dialects and in the idiomatic discourses. A new policy of language is imminent.
Standard language, dialect, ideology, discourse, variety, policy


Below are some questions you may want to ask your care team. They are intended to enable you and your family to become more informed and engaged as you and your physician make decisions about your cancer treatment. The care team is dedicated to your care and can be made up of your physician, advanced practice provider, nurse, social worker, financial counselor, medical assistant, and other office staff you interact with at the clinic.
What additional tests are needed at this time?
What is my likelihood for a cure?
If I cannot be cured, will I live longer with treatment? If so, roughly how much longer?
What options do I have if I don't want to continue my cancer treatments?
What things are likely to happen to me?
What are the common side effects? How do I manage those side effects at home?
When should I contact the clinic for help?
Is there a document I can give to my family members that can help them stay informed on my treatment?
Am I healthy enough to undergo the treatment?
Which hospital or urgent care center is best for my needs?
Choose a healthcare proxy who can speak for me if I am unable?
Who will help me talk to my children?

Melbourne Business School News New Melbourne Business School Board Chairman announced
New Melbourne Business School Board Chairman announced
Melbourne Business School (MBS) has announced the retirement of Board Chairman Peter Barnes and named his successor.
Mr Ross Barker, Managing Director of Australian Foundation Investment Company Limited is set to become the Chairman of the MBS Board from 1 January 2015.
Mr Peter Barnes has been the Chairman of MBS Board since 2010 however his relationship with the Melbourne Business School spans more than forty years having been awarded his MBA in 1970.
Mr Barker, who is also an Alumnus of the School having been awarded his MBA in 1982, joined the MBS Board in 2012 from which time he has served as Chair of its Investment Committee and as a member of the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee. He is a member of several boards and his expertise in the Investment and Finance Sector serves him well as he takes up the Chairmanship of the MBS Board.
Mr Barnes said it had been a "great privilege" to be the Chairman of MBS.
In retiring from the Board Mr Barnes said "I am confident that I leave behind a strong Board and a well governed School that has a clear strategy and vision - and a School that offers excellence at every level of business and executive education - and a capable management team to achieve that vision."
Mr Barnes said the highlight of his time as Chairman was the establishment of the collaboration between MBS and The University of Melbourne thereby creating the University's sole Graduate Business School.
Professor Zeger Degraeve, Dean of Melbourne Business School says "My congratulations and thanks go out to Peter on his retirement. He has been an excellent mentor for me since my arrival from Europe. The School as a whole has greatly benefited from his wise counsel and strong leadership."
As Chairman elect, Mr Barker echoed these sentiments in thanking Mr Barnes for his Chairmanship of the School over the past 5 years. He said "These have been important years in the growth and development of the Melbourne Business School. Peter's fine leadership has ensured there are sound foundations for us to continue to grow by focusing on excellence. We look forward to building on his legacy at the School."

New charges against the "Merchant of Death"
Alleged arms dealer Viktor Bout faces new charges in the US, which could complicate US-Russian relations.
The new indictment alleges that Bout and an American colleague, Richard Chichakli, conspired to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by attempting to purchase two aircraft from companies located in the United States. The IEEPA is an effort to prevent the flow of weapons and other supplies to rebel groups in Africa.
Bout is sometimes known as the "Merchant of Death," and there is wide speculation about exploits as a weapons dealer. The film "Lord of War" is rumored to be based on his life.
Bout was captured in Thailand in March 2008 and charged with providing support to the Columbian rebel group known as FARC, which the US considers a foreign terrorist organization. In August 2009, a Thai court ruled in Bout's favor and refused to extradite him to the United States. However, Bout has remained in Thai custody as the US has pursued charges against him that will stick. In the current indictment, Bout and Chichakli are charged with money laundering conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy and six separate counts of wire fraud.
Continued attempts by the US to prosecute Bout, a Russian citizen, could damage slowly improving US-Russian relations.
Evgeny Belenky, the chief of the Ria Novosti news agency's Bangkok bureau, says this series of accusations is very different from the previous ones in Bout's case.

Only a few days out from the UFC's first event in Australia, the UFC 110 card has been dealt a double injury blow.
Firstly, Ben Rothwell is out of his main card match-up with Mirko Cro Cop due to an illness. Cro Cop will now face the 10-5 Australian veteran Anthony 'The Hippo' Perosh, who has stepped up at exceptionally short notice.
It's disappointing news as the Rothwell – Cro Cop fight was an intriguing one with both fighters believed to potentially be fighting for their futures in the UFC. Now it would appear that Cro Cop has a much easier task on his hands, though not one that will tell us whether he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level.
Perosh has competed in the UFC in the past, but failed to make his mark, losing to both Jeff Monson and Christian Wellisch back in 2006.
Meanwhile the all Australian clash between Elvis Sinosic Vs Chris Haseman has been pulled from the card after Sinosic injured his shoulder.
Sadly the shock news, which was first reported on the UFC's website, suggests that the UFC's injury curse which hindered many of it's events in the latter half of 2009 is still alive and well.

For the girl who is mysterious, feminine, and absolutely divine.
The moon is a feminine symbol, universally representing the rhythm of time as it embodies the cycle. The phases of the moon symbolize immortality and eternity, enlightenment or the powerful side of Nature herself. It might reflect inner knowledge, or the phases of (wo)man's condition on earth, since it controls the tides, the rains, the waters, and the seasons. It is the middle ground between the light of the sun and the darkness of night, and thus often represents the realm between the conscious and the unconscious. In astrology, the moon is a symbol of the soul, and in the horoscope it determines the subject's capacity for reflection and adaptation.
The word "crescent" derives from the Latin creare, which means to create. So the Crescent Moon is linked with the Divine Feminine Creative Power of the Mother Goddess.
Red governs the base chakra situated at the base of the spine. It represents vitality, courage, and self confidence. It is the area of survival and stability, and when imbalanced, you will feel insecure about your purpose and path in this lifetime. Red also relates to self awareness. The color red gives us the power from the earth and gives energy on all levels, especially in terms of harnessing our true power and creativity. It connects us to our physical body and makes manifesting our dreams possible. Everything that is to be commenced needs the life vitality of red.

Q: New express not working with PostgreSQL I followed these docs (https://expressjs.com/en/starter/installing.html) I didn't do the install that premakes the files for you. I set up postgres with a table and data. Now I am trying to connect the node server to the database with this new express stuff. This is what I have. Anybody use this new version of express?
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
//var db = require('db.sql')
var pgp = require('pg-promise')()
var db = pgp('postgres://postgres:123@localhost/postgres')

db.any('SELECT * FROM Persons')
  .then(function (data) {
    console.log('DATA:', data.value)
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log('ERROR:', error)
  })

app.listen(3000,()=>{
    console.log("Hello 3000")
})

A: It seems your postgres connection string is wrong. It should be in the format of postgres://username:password@host:port/database. Please replace your code as below.
const express = require('express')
const app = express()

const pgp = require('pg-promise')(/* initialization options */)
const db = pgp('postgres://username:password@host:port/database')

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    db.any('SELECT * FROM Persons')
        .then(data => {
            console.log('DATA:', data)
            return res.status(200).send(data);
        })
        .catch(error => {
            console.log('ERROR:', error)
        })
})

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('Hello 3000')
})

Section 143(3) cannot be used to pass an assessment order
You are here: Home / Posts Tagged "Section 143(3) cannot be used to pass an assessment order"
Tag: Section 143(3) cannot be used to pass an assessment order
The facts of the case are that a search and seizure operation was carried out by the Revenue Department on dated 15.10.2013 in the case of Tyagi Group of cases, on the basis of which the alleged satisfaction was recorded in the case of Assessee on dated 12.08.2015 for initiation of proceedings u/s. 153C of the Act. Ultimately the assessment order u/s. 143(3) of the Act was made by the Assessing Officer. The Assessee, being aggrieved, challenged the assessment order before the ld. Commissioner, who vide impugned order sustained the assessment order, while dismissing the appeal of the Assessee, against which the Assessee is in appeal before us.
The court had heard the parties and perused the material available on record. It appears from the assessment order that a search and seizure operation u/s. 132 of the Act was conducted by the Revenue Department on 15.10.2013 in the premises of Tyagi Group of cases and on the basis of search, the alleged satisfaction was recorded in the case of Assessee on dated 12.08.2015 for initiation of proceedings u/s. 153C of the Act, therefore,notices u/s. 142(1) and 143(2) of the Act were issued against which the Assessee has claimed to have filed return of income on 22.03.2015 wherein the Assessee had declared total income of Rs.3,62,230/- and ultimately, the Assessing Officer has passed the assessment order u/s. 143(3) of the Act but not u/s. 153C of the Act. Therefore, the claim of the Assessee is that the Assessing Officer was under obligation to frame the assessment as per provisions of section 153C of the Act, but not u/s. 143(3) of the Act because the provisions of section 153 of the Act of the Act mandates that the Assessing Officer is required to make an order of assessment or reassessment in respect of each assessment year falling within six assessment years immediately preceding the assessment year relevant to the previous year, in which such search is conducted or requisition made or satisfaction note is prepared which allegedly in the case of Assessee on dated 12.08.2015 for initiation of proceedings u/s. 153C of the Act, being the date of receiving the books of account or documents or asset seized, therefore the instant case as pertains to AY 2014-15 also falls within 6 years.
The Ld. DR at the outset contented that the Assessee did not raise this issue specifically in it grounds of appeal whereas the Assessee claimed that ground no 2 covers this issue squarely. We have considered the said factual position and find that the Assessee vide ground no. 2 specifically challengedthe jurisdiction of the AO and its confirmation by the Ld. Commissioner and therefore the said contention of the ld. DR is untenable.Coming to the issue qua passing the assessment order u/s 143(3) instead of section 153-C of the Act, considering the peculiar facts and circumstances, as the assessment year under consideration falls under six assessment years for the purpose of section 153C, therefore, the assessment order should have been passed as per provisions of section 153C and but not u/s. 143(3) of the Act. Consequently, the assessment order, being void ab initio, is liable to be quashed. Thus, the same stands quashed and impugned order is set aside.
The appeal filed by the Assessee is allowed by the court.

Between these shopping centres there are well over 1,000 retail stores spread across a combined floorspace of 3,660,000 square feet. The heart of this retail centre is around the largely pedestrianised Briggate where one can find all well-known British high street stores including Marks & Spencer, House of Fraser, Debenhams and Harvey Nichols.

Ariana Grande might soon rue the day she ever set her tongue on one of those innocent donuts.
Police in Lake Elsinore, California have teamed up with Riverside County public health officials to investigate the incriminating video from Wolfee Donuts. In the clip, released by TMZ, the 22-year-old pop star and a friend were seen licking donuts that sat out on a counter. This could be perceived by the cops as donut terrorism—who knows what's lurking in the salivary glands of La Baby Grande.
I'm putting on my Tyra Banks face and screaming, because I was rooting for Ariana Grande. We were all rooting for Ariana Grande. With that range, I thought she would eventually reach Mariah Carey-esque goddess levels. But Mariah would NEVER lick a pastry that didn't belong to her. She's too busy swimming in evening gowns and not wearing a watch since she refuses to confine herself to the concept of time. Le Petit Grande, being a baby, has revealed herself to be playing a baby's game. Donuts and policemen (and I) demand she explain.

A Tribute to Bernadette Lynch

Newletters /
November 2017 /
Bernadette "Bern" DiMaggio Lynch was a woman of faith, strength, laughter and was always willing to help anyone, especially by supporting her students at RIT. They adored her positive spirit and outlook on life. Over the years, she was invited by her students to attend their graduation ceremonies, see a play or a students' presentation or simply watch a game together. Bern also took classes at RIT, so she shared the student experience and that helped her connect more closely with her students.
Bern always immersed herself into understanding the needs of students, so when there was a gap in services for first generation college students, Bern created and launched the I'm First program with her team. Part of her legacy is the I'm First program, which is open to all first-generation students at RIT. Bern's vision was a customizable program for each student, where students could be as involved as they wanted or just have mild touch points.
"I really admired her…because she was highly supportive of our students - most of the time she'd drop everything if a student came in asking for help. It was important that we make our schedules work for them." explained Liz Bremer, Assistant Director for Assessment & Academic Partnerships with the Multicultural Center for Academic Success (MCAS), who worked very closely with Bern.
Another incredible attribute she brought to RIT was her ability to understand the power within people to help support each other thorough even the most difficult of circumstances. Bern strengthened the I'm First program experience by building a network of hundreds of successful first-generation graduates on campus. This network led to the speaker series, First Talks, where RIT faculty and staff who identify as first generation shared their stories of success and overcoming adversity. I'm First really grew with the support of the faculty and staff network, with unwavering backing "at an institutional level and it's been one of our biggest catalysts," affirmed Bremer.
Bern was a fantastic collaborator, who enjoyed building teams, motivating others to grow and helping people believe in themselves, even if they were being faced with challenging moments in their lives. Her ability to listen, share of herself and her intrinsic desire to live positively as a person was exhibited through her actions.
Bern was always open with everyone, especially about the priorities and values she held dear, like her children and husband, her families, friends and her students.
"I feel simply awful because I was meeting with Bernadette when I was going off the rails and I had zero parts of my life together. She gave me a framework that helped me turn my life around, become a student, make a life for myself and that's exactly what I did," shared one of her students, when they heard of Bern's passing. "But, I eventually stopped going to see her and she never saw what I became."
At RIT, in her community and everyone who was touched by Bern knows she was a woman full of faith, strength and had a contagious positivity that helped people to see their success and opportunities. "This is a loss to many different people, especially her family, her church and our entire community. All of her students will definitely miss her greatly and ultimately, miss sharing their future successes with Bern," said Shawna Lusk, Senior Associate Director, Campus Life and close friend. Bern had a unique way of bringing her "humor, levity and grace to everything she did—Bern was really a special person," kindly shared Lusk.
One of the lessons Lusk learned from Bern was "you don't always know the 'right words' to say and it's okay." As Bern, her family and the community endured the tragic death of her son Michael, then with much needed prayer and support she continued her journey. As she realized her illness was furthering, "there came a time of transformation, a very powerful moment when Bern and her family decided it was time for her to be reunited with her son. It was a time to look forward to something greater, after she left this earth. This might have been her way of helping those who loved her to mourn her loss but also smile for her new-found joy as she reunited with Michael…" added Lusk reassuringly.
Among her many legacies in the community, she was also recognized with the renaming of the bi-annual career clothing drive, which was held with great success in October 2017, now named Bern's Closet. In addition, to recognize Bern's passion and commitment to helping students, the Bernadette Lynch Endowed Student Support Fund was also created by her RIT friends from Student Affairs and Student Auxiliary Services. Bern would be especially proud if anyone would be moved to do something kind for another person. Remember the power you hold within yourself to bring positivity and light to the world and the people around you, as Bern did.

Didn't you JUST have a birthday last year?
We just wrapped up birthday season around here. Well, mine isn't until May, and the Man's is in September, but The Kids' birthdays are the ones that really matter, and they just turned 7 and 9. Wow.
I love celebrating birthdays. There's only one day out of 365 that's just yours. Maybe not JUST. The Girl shares her birthday with our cousin Ben, our friend Harriett, Dr. Seuss, and our friend/babysitter, Josie. I share mine with my best friend Liz, another friend Debbie, a friend's ex-husband, and two other girls with whom I graduated high school. I'm not sure why that's so fascinating. There are, after all, 365 days in the year. There are billions of people who need birthdays.
The Man and I got married ten days before my 25th birthday. To give him credit, the days leading up to that birthday were rather chaotic. We had a rehearsal dinner, dozens of family members and even more friends in town, a wedding, and a fantastic honeymoon in Hawaii. All of those trump a birthday. However. He forgot my birthday.
I was working at Fat Man's at the time. Everyone there knew it was my birthday. I got my free lunch at The Pit, and everyone passed along their well wishes. The Man and I talked on the phone a couple of times, but he never mentioned my birthday. I wasn't mad (no really, I wasn't), but I decided to see just how long this could go. When would he realize it?
Once we were both home from work, I smiled to myself. This was funny. We sat there together, and I had a secret. I'd share it soon enough.
There was a knock at the door. It was my mother-in-law. She came bearing gifts. And a cake. When the door opened, The Man said, "Oh crap (or something like it)." I laughed, because again, I wasn't mad at all. My birthday is now on his big calendar and work. His bookkeeper also keeps it on her calendar.
When The Kids have birthdays, it's not about spending as much money as we can. I try to make the day special. Their chair at the kitchen table is covered with balloons. Happy birthday banners hang throughout the house. Candle laden donuts are for breakfast, and we have lunch together at school. It's their choice for dinner, and they usually choose Mexican. The Boy won't wear the sombrero, and The Girl doesn't like clanging pots, but they do get the free fried ice cream at Vallartas. Come to think of it, I'm not sure what happened to their birthday tequila shots.
As much as I love celebrating birthdays, I hate planning kid birthday parties. I should like them. I pay attention to detail, and I like making things. I'm a planner by nature. Kid birthday parties are beasts. I've expressed my distaste for the extravagance they've become because of Pinterest and other internet competitions. I thought that was my problem. I blamed facebook and other bragging sites and my inability to keep up.
I think the pressure might be self imposed. I'm not worried about my kids having fun at their parties. I truly don't care if Johnny Smartypants had homemade party favors.
I don't want your kids to think my kids are lame.
You see, I know my kids aren't lame. As far as I'm concerned, they're pretty cool. I don't want to screw that up. If the party is dumb, will your kids think my kids are just as dumb? It silly, really. It's just a birthday party. There's just so much pressure. I will not cave.
The parties feel so daunting each year. I don't want to forget anyone. If I intentionally leave someone out, it may be for numbers' sake only. Then there are invitations, the cake, and party favors. I'm not all that worried about how expensive any of those are, but each element must be present. I stress.
Fortunately, each kid had a simple and sweet party. The Boy wanted to go bowling with friends, but didn't want the birthday fanfare. We invited 8 kids and bowled for two hours. Honestly, they're so terrible at bowling (yes, even with the bumpers); they only got to bowl two games. I think they all had fun. We sent home cupcakes in brightly colored boxes instead of serving cake. The Girl had her party at the studio where she takes dance. The allure was obvious. We provide the cake and the kids, and the studio does everything else. That's my kind of party. Pulse Dance Center put on one of the more fun kid parties I've been to, complete with a jazz routine to a Bieber song. The favors were cds made up of cheesy top 40 hits. Simple and inexpensive. I did worry that cds wouldn't be cool anymore. Oh well. I can't afford iPods for all.
At the end of the day, they each turned another year older. As stupid as it sounds, I can't believe it. I was warned. They're growing too fast. For now, I happily stress about planning their parties. I also look forward to a nice Cabernet as reward for all of my hard work.

Ligia E. Hubert
is a graphic designer originally from Guatemala, where she grew up surrounded by the exotic beauty of the country and the rush of a busy city.
In 2000, at 24 years old, she founded her first graphic design studio, méndezdiseña, where she directed an incredible team until 2013, when she moved to Buffalo, NY.
In 2016, ligiahubert became her second entrepreneurial endeavor. What started as a one-person studio turned into a collaboration with a selected group of highly talented professionals in the creative field working under her lead.

text: Q: Book and article recommendations with the purpose of studying the intersection between probability theory and lattice theory Lately, I have been studying probability theory and lattice theory separately and I would like to investigate ideas which relate both subjects together. Having said that, I would like to know if someone could provide me references such as books or articles that explore the intersection between such domains, which would considerably shorten my search for them.

In my work I need to toggle from English to Hebrew and back. Typing with the Aleph-Board lightens my workload. It is a natural way to type Hebrew if your first language uses the English alphabet. As the next step in Hebrew literacy, I encourage everyone who does not yet type in Hebrew to use the Aleph-Board with its intuitive keyboard layout. It was designed by a user who knows what we who struggle with words in two languages need.
I really love the ease of using this keyboard. It works on my Mac with my Nisus software perfectly! I especially like having the choice of a full keyboard rather than stickers.
We must do all we can to remove the barrier between Jewish people and the holy language. The Aleph-Board does just that.
No, I'm not giving your laptop back until I'm finished with my Hebrew homework.
Who uses Aleph-Board Hebrew QWERTY-Phonetic keyboards?

Billions in Bonuses Coming to Light
Babs | April 2, 2009 | General News | 4 Comments
Democratic Rep. Kucinich is on the warpath today over billions in bank bonuses that make the AIG bonuses look like a weekly allowance for your 12 year old.
From the Washington Post today:
The chairman of a congressional oversight panel has opened an investigation into what federal officials knew about $3.6 billion in bonuses paid to Merrill Lynch employees after the government spent billions of dollars in bailout funds to help save the company from failure by arranging its sale to Bank of America.
Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), chairman of the domestic policy subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform panel, said he was concerned about the payments because they were 22 times larger than bonuses to insurance giant American International Group, which created a political firestorm.
The government awarded Bank of America $10 billion to help it complete the acquisition and provided the bank a federal guarantee to limit its potential losses on about $118 billion of assets largely inherited from Merrill Lynch as part of the sale.
Kucinich questioned whether government officials knew about the bonuses while they were overseeing the sale of Merrill Lynch. He sent letters yesterday to Bank of America, the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve requesting all documents and communication related to the bonuses.
"This raises important questions about what you knew about the Merrill bonuses, and what you did with your knowledge," Kucinich wrote to Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke. "If ordinary [Bank of America] shareholders were ignorant of the details of the Merrill bonus arrangement, was the U.S. government as well?"
Kucinich noted that the bonuses were determined on Dec. 8, unusually early for the company and before a fourth-quarter loss of $15 billion was announced.
The congressional probe follows similar inquiries by New York Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo and Neil M. Barofsky, the special inspector general for the financial system's bailout, into the Merrill Lynch bonuses. In response to a request from Cuomo, a New York state judge two weeks ago ordered Bank of America to disclose information about the bonuses.
Scott Silvestri, a spokesman for Bank of America, and Michelle A. Smith, a spokeswoman for the Fed, declined to comment on Kucinich's letters. A Treasury spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
It does a body good to see a Democrat on the Hill stand up for the taxpayers. It doesn't happen that often anymore.
