This matter is before the Court on the Motion for Default Judgment and Entry of a Final Judgment filed by Plaintiff, Bank of New York Mellon, f/k/a the Bank of New York, as Trustee (CWABS 2005-12) ("Bank of New York"). Defendants Tammie R. Dickerson and Jeffrey L. Dear have been duly served with the Plaintiff's Complaint, are not infants or unrepresented incompetent individuals and have failed to plead or otherwise defend. Their defaults were recorded on February 12, 2019, and those Defendants have taken no proceedings since those defaults were entered. The Plaintiff has settled with the other Defendant, the United States of America, which no longer opposes the relief requested by the Complaint. The Court therefore finds that the Plaintiff's motion is well-taken and should be granted.
The Court furthermore finds as follows:
1. This action concerns real property situated in DeSoto County, Mississippi, with an address of 8508 Southridge Cove, Walls, Mississippi 38680.

Q: how to prove the convergence for this? What will be the best criterion to use to investigate convergence of the series (i do not need step by step explaination)
$$
\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{(2n-1)\sqrt{\log(4n+1)}}{n(n+1)}
$$
converge or diverge?

A: The series diverges simply because for any $n$ large enough
$$ \frac{(2n-1)\sqrt{\log(4n+1)}}{n(n+1)} \geq \frac{1}{n}.$$

A: In this case you can split the fraction into $s_n = \frac{\sqrt{2\log (4n +1)}}{n+1}$ and $t_n = \frac{\sqrt{\log (4n+1)}}{n(n+1)}$, with $\sum_n s_n \to_n \infty$ and $\sum_n t_n \to a< \infty$ - if both sums tended to infinity, you couldn't do that, since $\infty - \infty$ doesn't exist.
Both sums are monotone decreasing $\forall n>n_0$, so you can compare them to the corresponding integrals or (as Jack D'Aurizio) compare to the well-known sums that diverge/converge.

I'm relatively new to geocaching and am having an issue using the Geocaching App with my Motorola Moto G 2 running Android 6.0. I am typically geocaching in smaller parks that are near businesses and roads. My actual location on the map screen keeps jumping to streets or businesses near to my actual location. It's as if Google Maps assumes I'm on a road or at a business. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to accurately display my current location? Also, as a test to ensure my phones GPS hardware is functioning properly I used an app called Polaris Navigation and entered the coordinates of a geocache. The Polaris Navigation app properly maintained my current location as I moved towards the geocache so I'm fairly confident this isn't a hardware issue. I have tried the c:geo app and have the same issue. Anyone? Thanks in advance for any help .
switch your location settings to "gps only" or "device only". all the other options will include wifi and cellular , and be very poor.
The only one that is really high accuracy is GPS. The others are much less accurate.
"Assisted GPS" is used by phones to improve startup time. It doesn't really improve accuracy as such. The others are used to get an approximate location, which allows GPS to get an accurate location more quickly. But there can be a period where the system is still using the approximate location, before GPS has produced an accurate location.
Or you can have GPS turned off, in which case the others produce an approximate location, and that's all you get.
I'm pretty confident that the GPS is active and getting a solid location. I suspect that issue has to do with Google Maps forcing the location to "jump" to a street or business. When using the Polaris Navigation app in a park location it appeared to be giving my location extremely well. I'm going to to try what was suggested though! I want to take my daughters geocaching this weekend!
I have seen situations where driving-oriented devices and apps have forced GPS coordinates to the nearest street address.
But since this is the forum for bug reports and feature discussions for Groundspeak's Geocaching app, I assumed that that is what you were using. If you're using something else, something designed for driving, then yes, you could get inaccuracies when the app moves the location from the coordinates you provided to the nearest street address.
I am using the Groundspeak Geocaching app. The map type I'm using is listed within the app as Google Maps... I mentioned Polaris Navigation because I tested it (it does not use Google Maps) to ensure my device's GPS is capable of an accurate location reading.
you're on the right track about applications that do weird things. Google maps is notorious for hopping a quarter mile out of the way.
cellular will only improve the initial startup speed, IF IT'S NEEDED to update regional data. cellular "help" through agps is always misunderstood, a lot of people still think it works all the time.
using just the phones GPS antenna means (device only) it calculates position instead of taking handouts (guesstimated) from wifi/similar.
future reference, the official app is pretty poor compared to others.
Thanks for all the help everyone. I wasn't able to get out at all tonight but will hopefully get to try your suggestions before the weekend!


SCOTLAND is preparing to batten down the hatches as Storm Ali blows in from the west.
Forecasters have predicted that gusts of 80mph will hit the country - with an amber warning in place for large swathes.
And the Met Office says there is a "danger to life" with the storm.
Travel routes could be disrupted as a result along with blackouts in some areas.
The warning was in place from 8am until 6pm on Wednesday.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "Storm Ali is expected to bring a very windy spell of weather with gusts of 65-75 mph inland.
"Flying debris is likely and could lead to injuries or danger to life and some damage to buildings is likely, such as tiles blown from roofs or damage through falling trees and branches breaking.
"Longer journey times and cancellations likely, as road, rail, air and ferry services affected with some roads and bridges closed.
"Injuries and danger to life from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties."
Already some roads were being affected by falling trees.
One was causing delays on the A82 at Aberchalder.
Crews were on the scene trying to clear the road.
In Edinburgh - Princes Street Gardens was closed as a precaution throughout the extreme weather.
A spokesprson said on Twitter: "Princes Street Gardens has been closed as a precaution until further notice due to forecast severe weather #StormAli.
"Take care when out and about & follow @edintravel for travel updates."
Meanwhile rail bosses were also warning of potential disruption on train lines up and down the country.
All our schools are open as normal today.
Schools in Glasgow were all open, with council bosses tweeting information first thing on Wednesday.
And it was a similar situation in South Ayrshire.
Falling trees continued to be a persistent problem all over Scotland.


Peter Parker was at Horizon Lab, fighting villains like Hydro Man and also taking martial arts lessons from Shang-Chi in his free time, learning "The Way of the Spider". Spider-Man met Madame Web, who alarms him of an upcoming trouble in his life but he thinks this is meaningless. One of Spider-Man's oldest foe, The Jackal returns, with a scheme to ruin Peter's personal life.
He recruits a severely mutated Kaine; the first clone of Peter Parker, now dubbed as Tarantula and then starts gathering other super-villains with Spider-Powers to his cause. Peter learns of his girlfriend Carlie Cooper is now having spider-powers, followed by a news bulletin that reveals that hundreds of New York's citizens also have displayed currently gained spider-like powers.
As The Avengers were engaged in cleaning up of the city, Shang-Chi was able to pick the real Spider-Man among all the Spider-Men rampaging through the city, who were all given the spider costume by The Jackal. Peter is enlightened in this situation after a brief discussion with Mary Jane in the midst of this chaos. Meanwhile, Eddie Brock is back as Anti-Venom and he's curing people off their spider abilities.
Even The Avengers arrived at the scene to help New York fight this Spider Virus. Along with Carlie Cooper, Peter soon sneaks into The Jackal's lab, unknown of the fact that they are being watched and this whole landscape was actually devised by The Queen. Spider-Man will have to face against The Tarantula sent by The Queen in the most challenging battle ever.

Here is your links for "Spider-Island" crossover event from Marvel Comics.
Following the aftermath of the "Big Time" storyline, Spider Island is a 2011's major comic crossover event by Marvel Comics, prominently featuring The Amazing Spider-Man. This event was a grand story by writer Dan Slott (Mighty Avengers, She-Hulk) and the awesome pencil works were delivered by the amazing Humberto Ramos (Superior Spider-Man, Wolverine).
Along with the monthly ongoing The Amazing Spider-Man series that contained the core issues, Black Panther – The Most Dangerous Man Alive, Herc, Spider-Island – The Amazing Spider-Girl, Spider-Island – Avengers, Spider Island – Cloak and Dagger, Spider-Island – Deadly Hands of Kung Fu and the second volume of Venom served as the tie-in to the core plot.
Daniel Rand is the son of businessman Wendell Rand, who had a link to the mystic realm of K'un-Lun and lost his parents as a child in accident. Danny was taken back to K'un-Lun and received extensive martial art training under the tutelage of Lei Kung the Thunderer, to eventually gain the power of Iron Fist by defeating the serpent called Shou-Lao the Undying.
As Iron Fist, he fought Sabretooth before joining Heroes For Hire with Colleen Wing, Misty Knight, Shang-Chi, Jack of Hearts and White Tiger. His inheritance of Rand-Meachum, Inc. made him pretty rich but he chose to fight crime teaming up with Luke Cage; the Power Man. Following Onslaught Saga, the departure of many heroes caused Danny to recruit Namor, the Sub-Mariner to expand his team.
With feral mutant Wolverine and few of The Avengers, he fought against The Hand and then assisted Black Panther in saving the life of his U.S. State Department handler, Everett K. Ross from the Black Dragon afterwards.
Sometime later, Iron Fist confronted Cable and Deadpool while working with Cage. Danny put on Daredevil's costume to protect his civilian identity and supported Captain America in Civil War, opposing Iron Man. Danny joined the New Avengers team, sheltered by Doctor Strange in his Sanctum Sanctorum.
He fought alongside fellow heroes in the crisis of World War Hulk and Secret Invasion before Norman Osborn forcibly abducted him to join Thunderbolts. In Serpent's War, he and Spider-Man took down Thor's clone, Ragnarok.

The Ethics Institute was established in 1982 by a group of Dartmouth faculty who were concerned about issues in applied and professional ethics. The Institute exists to foster the study and teaching of ethics, broadly construed, throughout the Dartmouth community through various public programming, workshops, fellowships, and funding for research and teaching.
Roger S. Aaron '64 a longtime partner at the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom helped orchestrate some of the biggest mergers of the past several decades, notably the unions of Exxon and Mobil and Alcatel and Lucent. The Aaron fund sponsors an annual lecture.
The purpose of the Morris Fund is to support the Institute and its commitment to foster the study and teaching of ethics. This fund endows the Director's named title.
The Battle Family Fund, established by A. George "Skip" Battle, Class of 1966, is designed to support the Ethics Institute's Ethics Across the Curriculum initiative. This fund will be used to help educate faculty in an intellectual overview of ethical theory, practical insight into pedagogical tools, and ultimately inspire ways for faculty to incorporate and potentially address ethical questions through case studies and research articles into liberal arts courses and courses in the professional schools. This fund will support programming, speakers, seminars and other related activities that add value to the Ethics Across the Curriculum initiative.
The Dorsett Fellowship was established when the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation, in conjunction with Research Corporation Technologies, made a significant donation in honor of Burt Dorsett '53, establishing an endowed fund. The purpose of the Dorsett fund is to honor the exemplary business career of Burt Dorsett by bringing practitioners of ethics (business leaders, physicians, engineers, etc.) and/or scholars of ethics to the Dartmouth campus. The Dorsett Fellows have provided public lectures, guest lecturers in college courses, participated in faculty working groups, and spent time pursuing their own research while on campus.
The Facher Endowment Fund provides general support for the activities of the Ethics Institute.
The Ethics Institute received an endowment gift from Ernest R. Behrens D'58, T'60 made in honor of his father who "taught me more about business and the ethics of business than anyone". The Ernest Behrens, Sr. Director's Discretionary Endowment Fund for the Institute for the Study of Applied and Professional Ethics will provide the Director of the Ethics Institute with the resources to initiate new programs and enhance the on-going efforts of the Ethics Institute at Dartmouth.
The Ethics Institute received an endowment gift from Hill Blackett III '72 to help support the study of ethics at Dartmouth College. Income from the fund helps to underwrite the costs for faculty to develop ethics components for their courses, to conduct scholarship and research on issues of particular concern as well as other activities proposed by the director of the ethics institute. The sponsorship of conferences and visiting speakers, grants in support of student projects, and the acquisition of instructional materials and equipment exemplify some of the uses to which this fund may be put. This investment in Dartmouth is intended to ensure that the College continues at the forefront of American higher education and that its students are prepared for the challenges and opportunities they will meet as they assume positions of leadership.
The Crawford Endowment Fund for Forums in Professional Ethics will provide the Director of the Ethics Institute with a flexible resource to support the costs of a variety of campus-based forums. As endowment income accumulates, the focus will shift from forums featuring local participants to national-scale forums involving eminent participants discussing major ethical challenges facing their profession. This endowment will underwrite the costs of planning and advertising the program, and, where needed, would cover travel costs and honoraria for invited speakers.
Established by Roger P. Parkinson '63, The Sally Palm Parkinson Fund for Fora in Applied and Professional Ethics is an endowment whose income will sponsor an annual forum involving Dartmouth faculty, students, and other local participants for the purpose of exploring general acceptance systems, rules, principles and guidance which business and other organizations live by in the U.S. and throughout the world.
Thanks to the generosity of Thomas D. Sayles, the Ethics Institute has funds to foster multidisciplinary research by faculty and students in challenging issues in business and organizational ethics. Such research will focus on the responsibilities of professionals in profit and not-for-profit organizations, including such matters as the role of loyalty and confidentiality in organizational settings, the meaning of conflict of interest, managing responsibilities to different organizational "stockholders," and the implementation and encouragement of diversity in a changing business environment.
The Phillips, Samuels Victor Fund began as The Helen and Louis Phillips Memorial Fund in 1990. The fund was established by Gerald F. Phillips '47, Tuck '47 and Howard W. Phillips '51, Tuck '52 in honor of their parents and by Stacy D. Phillips '80 in memory of her grandparents, Helen and Louis Phillips. The Phillips, Samuels Victor Fund sponsors an annual competition for undergraduates and supports undergraduate student research grants and internships.
The Phillips Award in Applied and Professional Ethics is presented annually to an undergraduate student from Dartmouth College who has successfully demonstrated strength and interest in applied and professional ethics. Work may be in specific areas, such as medical or legal ethics, or in the broader arena of ethics applied to public life. While selection of the recipient is usually based on written work produced during the relevant year, other evidence of interest or work in applied and professional ethics is also considered.

The well-known Mars lender which is called InSight has landed perfectly to its destination. Confirmation of landing came through the Deep Space Network at 15:01 EST (2001 UTC) on Monday, 26 November following the 7-minute descent and landing of InSight on the Martian surface.
As mentions NASA "Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) lander successfully touched down on the Red Planet after an almost seven-month, 300-million-mile (485-million-kilometer) journey from Earth".
InSight Lander launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California May 5. The lander touched down Monday, Nov. 26, near Mars' equator on the western side of a flat, smooth expanse of lava called Elysium Planitia, with a signal affirming a completed landing sequence at 11:52 a.m. PST (2:52 p.m. EST).
Elysium Planitia is a broad plain that straddles the equator of Mars, centered at 3.0°N 154.7°E. It lies to the south of the volcanic province of Elysium, the second largest volcanic region on the planet, after Tharsis.

Regular U.S. release, re-issued in 1998 with same contents.
Buy it... only if you desire a likable and faithful souvenir of the film's musical numbers and the jazzy and snazzy original jingles written for source applications.
Avoid it... if only twelve minutes of immense and entertaining orchestral score from Joel McNeely near the end of the soundtrack cannot justify the entire product for you.
Radioland Murders: (Joel McNeely/Various) After Willow in 1988, writer, director, and producer George Lucas struggled to coordinate successful projects outside of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises. Up until Red Tails in 2012, his only realized production outside of this comfort zone was 1994's Radioland Murders, a labor of love that he had been toiling with since he first optioned American Graffiti and Star Wars to studios in the 1970's. Originally set for filming in 1979, the Lucas film became one of the most discussed examples of what it means to be stuck in "production hell," and after several re-writes and the eventual combination of multiple scripts into one finished product by Lucas himself, Radioland Murders moved forward for its disastrous 1994 release. The producer's obsession with 1930's and 1940's radio shows was the basis for the film's plot, which details the opening night of a brand new radio station ("WBN") in Chicago circa 1939. The haphazard crew of this station, eager to impress the demanding sponsor on hand, stumbles through its initial programming while writing it on the fly. Unfortunately for the cast of mostly television personalities of the early 1990's, the characters get knocked off one after another, leading to a murder mystery conducted while the night progresses. By the end, the writer and secretary who lead the in-house investigation (while trying to reconcile their marriage) track down the murderer in their crew and are lead to an unlikely confrontation atop the roof of the studio's building. All of this is handled with slapstick at the forefront, cameos from the likes of Rosemary Clooney and Christopher Lloyd (among countless others) abounding. There wasn't much substance behind the constant, artificial attempts to generate laughs, however, and critics absolutely skewered the film. Its limited release in theatres netted only $1.3 million on a budget more than ten times that size, qualifying Radioland Murders as an embarrassment for Universal and Lucasfilm that in part caused Lucas his later difficulties finding a distributor for his other non-franchise endeavors. At the time, though, the success of "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" on television had made composer Joel McNeely a regular Lucasfilm collaborator, one who would handle a number of subsequent Lucas projects, including Radioland Murders. Whereas many of these scores involved the adventure genre, a realm that McNeely was making himself known for by 1994, this film required an entirely different set of skills. The role of music in this instance is integral due to the on-screen applications in the context of the WBN radio show and beyond.

The Health Effects of Early Menopause
The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause. During this phase of a woman's life, she may experience hot flashes and irregular monthly periods. Once a woman has stopped menstruating for at least twelve consecutive months and her ovaries have stopped releasing eggs, she is said to be in menopause. The perimenopause cycle begins at varying ages, but most women show some signs of menopause by age fifty. However, due to genetics and medical complications, some women begin this life stage earlier than average. A woman who begins to have symptoms of menopause before the age of forty is said to be pre-menopausal. There are some long-term health effects that early menopause may cause.
When a woman goes through menopause, her body produces fewer hormones. This results in a loss of bone mass, too. Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones. Weakened bones raise the risk of fracturing a bone. Menopause leads to bones that gradually lose density as a woman ages. Early menopause extends the period of bone loss. Say, for instance, that a woman begins menopause in her thirties. By the time she is in her sixties, her bones could be relatively weak and be more susceptible to fracture than the bones of a woman who goes through menopause later in life.
One common problem in women who go through menopause early is infertility. Because so many women are focused on establishing a career and pursuing higher education, they are now opting to marry and start a family at a later age than in previous generations. Women are now choosing to wait until their 30s and 40s to have children. However, when a woman goes through perimenopause, her ovulation cycle becomes irregular. Thus, the difficulty in producing fertile eggs makes pregnancy more difficult for these pre-menopausal women. This could result in a woman's being unable to carry a child at all. It could also lead to costly surgical procedures for women who request the help of a fertility doctor to become pregnant.
Some women experience menopausal symptoms so severe that they receive hormone therapy to relieve their symptoms. Clinical studies have shown that a combination pill comprising of estrogen and progesterone can lessen the severity of symptoms. However, the side effects of these hormones can cause health risks to women, including the following:
The risk of developing the above conditions varies depending on several factors, including age. For instance, if a woman begins hormone therapy more than a decade before the start of full menopause, she is said to be at a greater risk of the above illnesses. Thus, hormone therapy could pose health risks to early menopausal women who start it before the onset of full menopause.
Depending on the severity of a woman's menopausal symptoms, a physician may or may not recommend hormone therapy. Hormones should not be taken unless overseen by a healthcare professional.
Increased Cardiovascular Disease
A recent study showed that the risk of cardiovascular disease increases in women who have experienced premature menopause. Scientists are currently researching the link between pre-menopause and coronary artery disease, which can lead to a greater likelihood of having a stroke.
The health effects of perimenopause can be minor, such as a few sporadic hot flashes. However, some women experience symptoms that are quite debilitating. Heavy bleeding should be treated by a physician, and women who wish to try hormone-replacement therapy should do so under a doctor's care. Women who wish to become pregnant during perimenopause should also consult with a doctor.

Tyson Foods: The History of a Family's Chicken Empire
Anuz Thapa
A simple idea can bring a huge change and that's exactly what happened with Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN) - Get Free Report
It was during the 1930's when an Arkansas farmer saw huge business opportunity by delivering chickens. John W. Tyson saw that there was huge demand for chickens in the mid-west.
So, what did he do?
Tyson started delivering them, of course. At one point, he expanded his business by launching 'Flying Chickens', his first airline delivery service.
And the company continues to diversify today, adding plant-protein chicken to its portfolio. Watch the video to learn more about Tyson Foods.

An umbrella fund refers to a UCITS umbrella fund, authorised under the European Community (UCITS) Regulations 2011 and an AIF umbrella fund authorised as a Retail Investor AIF or a Qualifying Investor AIF in accordance with the investment fund legislation as defined in the AIF Rulebook
1. This guidance applies to the holding of cash assets of umbrella funds in a single account at the level of an umbrella fund ("an umbrella cash account") in the name of the investment fund, the fund management company[1] on behalf of the investment fund or the depositary. Cash assets refer to subscription and redemption money received from or due to investors in the sub-funds of the umbrella fund and dividend money due to investors from sub-funds.
2. Constitutional documents for umbrella funds must provide that assets and liabilities of each individual sub-fund are kept separate from all other sub-funds and that separate books and records are maintained for each sub-fund in which all transactions relevant to the sub-fund are recorded. An umbrella cash account can only be established where the fund management company and depositary are satisfied:
that at all times the amounts, whether positive or negative, within the umbrella cash account can be attributed to the individual sub-funds in order to comply with constitutional documents; and
that the holding of cash assets of umbrella funds in an umbrella cash account will not compromise the ability of the depositary to carry out its safe-keeping and oversight duties and responsibilities in accordance with the UCITS and AIFM Regulations.
When it is not appropriate to operate an umbrella cash account
1. Sub-funds within an umbrella fund should not participate in an umbrella cash account:
Where those sub-funds are highly leveraged.
Where there is an increased possibility that investors subscribing to those sub-funds are likely to make late payments.
Where the umbrella fund commenced trading before 30 June 2005 and does not have segregated liability between sub-funds.
Where the constitutional document does not set out any consequences for investors who do not provide subscription proceeds by the stated settlement date.
1. The fund management company of an umbrella fund should, in conjunction with the depositary, establish a policy to govern the operation of an umbrella cash account. The policy should be reviewed by both parties, at least annually, and amended to strengthen controls and procedures as necessary to address any difficulties which have been identified by either party.
2. The policy should require, as a matter of procedure, that the following are identified at the outset and updated as necessary:
(i) The names of the participating sub-funds;
(ii) The name of the credit institution at which the account will be opened and the name and designation of the cash account;
(iii) Documentation required in order to transfer money from the account; and
(iv) The authorised signatories.
3. The policy should include the following procedures which should be agreed between the fund management company and the depositary of the umbrella fund:
(i) A daily reconciliation process. This should include procedures to apply to the prompt investigation of any money remaining in the umbrella cash account. Where sub-funds of the umbrella fund do not deal on a daily or weekly basis, the reconciliation process can be carried out in accordance with the dealing frequency of the sub- funds but at least on a monthly basis.
(ii) The treatment of money in the cash account when calculating the net asset value of the sub-funds.
(iii) The procedure to apply where money will be transferred from the umbrella cash account to an investor money collection account held by a fund service provider in accordance with the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1) Investor Money Regulations 2015 for Fund Service Providers, where applicable.
(iv) The procedure to apply where money transferred to a sub-fund is subsequently found to be owned by another sub-fund due to a late or non- payment from a subscribing investor.
(v) The procedure to apply to the resolution of shortfalls due to a late or non-payment from a subscribing investor, including the cancellation of units if appropriate.
(vi) The reports to be provided to the fund management company in relation to the operation of the umbrella cash account.
Disclosure to investors
1. Irish authorised investment funds are required to provide details of the procedures and conditions for the issue and redemption of units in the prospectus.[2] Where an umbrella fund establishes an umbrella cash account, through which subscription and redemption money will be channelled, the prospectus should explain the way in which this account is established and how it will be operated in order to comply with the constitutional document.
2. Irish authorised investment funds are required to provide details of the risks that are applicable to investment in that particular investment fund.Where an umbrella fund establishes an umbrella cash account the risks to be disclosed include:
(i) Where amounts held in the umbrella cash account are:
due to an investor as a result of redemption or dividend activity and the money cannot be transferred to the investor; or
received from an investor in advance of units being issued (in the context of sub-funds which operate on a cleared fund basis),
the prospectus should include a risk warning to outline the rights of the investor and, in the case of first bullet point, highlight the need to address outstanding issues promptly. In particular the prospectus should explain that in both scenarios an investor is not a unit holder. In the event of an insolvency of the umbrella fund or the relevant sub-fund, the rights of the investor to money held in the umbrella cash account are those of an unsecured creditor to the umbrella fund.
(ii) The right of the umbrella fund to cancel units or seek recovery, including any relevant credit charges, from investors who fail to pay subscription proceeds within the stated settlement period and the potential impact on the relevant sub-fund where this situation arises.
(iii) The position of unit holders in a solvent sub-fund in the event of an insolvency of a sister sub- fund.
Treatment of subscription, redemption and dividend monies in umbrella cash accounts
1. Other than during the normal subscription and redemption process as prescribed in the constitutional document, there may be circumstances where money is retained in the umbrella cash account as follows:
(i) Where redemption or dividend money is received from the sub-fund account but cannot be transmitted to the relevant investor, for example where one or more investors have failed to supply such information as has been deemed necessary to allow the investment fund comply with its obligations under applicable Anti-Money Laundering/Counter Terrorist Financing legislation.
(ii) Where subscription money is received from an investor in advance of the settlement date. (iii) Where subscription money is received with insufficient documentation to identify the owner.
2. An umbrella fund may elect to transfer money referred to in paragraph 1(i) to an investor money collection account held by a fund service provider in accordance with the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1) Investor Money Regulations 2015 for Fund Service Providers.
3. The fund management company and the depositary should ensure that in the event that money referred to in paragraph 1(iii) cannot be applied it will be returned to the payer within 5 working days.
Insolvency of one sub-fund within an umbrella fund
1. In the case of insolvency of one of the sub-funds of the umbrella fund and, due to late payment of subscription proceeds, the insolvent sub-fund is found to hold money correctly owned by another sub-fund, the insolvency practitioner should be provided with all relevant details and
supporting document in that regard.
2. The fund management company and the depositary should assist and petition the insolvency practitioner as necessary to ensure the timely recovery of the money due to the other sub-fund.

NEW MEXICO PAPER SHOWS BIAS
Home/Catalyst/Features/NEW MEXICO PAPER SHOWS BIAS
Recently, an editorial by the Gallup Independent, a New Mexico daily, attacked the Diocese of Gallup:
Much to the pleasure of the Gallup Independent, the Diocese of Gallup filed for bankruptcy a year ago. How does Bill Donohue know they are delighted? Because of a November 12 editorial noting the "one-year anniversary."
The editorial wants Bishop James S. Wall to "Publicize the list of credibly accused abusers by inserting it for three consecutive weeks in the church bulletins of every parish that was ever part of the Gallup Diocese." Reality check: Parishes that have closed have no bulletin.
There is a rampant problem with the sexual abuse of minors among the Navajo in the Gallup area, yet we know of no campaign by this newspaper to demand that they publicize such a list. Wonder why.
The overreach of Bob Zollinger, who runs the Gallup Independent, is incontestable: "Publicly release a list of all real property in Arizona and New Mexico, along with the sale price," he said. Here's Donohue's favorite: "The Diocese of Gallup has no need for such property."
Donohue does not know if Bob has ever employed any wayward characters at his paper, but if he did, would he not think it evidence of an agenda if his critics opined that his newspaper occupies too much space in Gallup? Moreover, since Bob is one of the richest persons in New Mexico, and rich people have been known to cheat on their taxes, does he not have a moral obligation to let the public examine his tax returns? Perhaps he could publish them for three consecutive weeks in his newspaper.
Maybe Bob is not anti-Catholic. Maybe he's just loopy: he's gotten into several physical encounters, two of which were with city mayors (in one instance the mayor pinned him to the floor, which is the way things usually go for Bob).

Q: issue in intialising character array from the structure through an array object i am getting an issue while initialising the character array in the structure through the structure object
#include <iostream>
    #include <string.h>
    using namespace std;
    struct emp
    {
        int age;
        char name[10];
    };
    int main()
    {
        struct emp v[2];

    List item

        v[0].age = 9;
        v[0].name[] = "name1"; <-this is where i am getting error
        v[1].age = 10;
        v[1].name[]= "name2"; <-this is where i am getting error
        for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
        {
            cout << v[i].age << " " << v[i].name<<endl;
        }

        return 0;
    }

A: For starters there is at least a typo
    v[0].name[] = "name1"; <-this is where i am getting error
            ^^^^
    v[1].name[]= "name2"; <-this is where i am getting error
            ^^^^

Arrays do not have the assignment operator. So these assignment statements
v[0].name[] = "name1";
v[1].name[]= "name2";

are incorrect syntactically and semantically.
You could initialize the elements of the array when it is declared.
For example
struct emp v[2] =
{
    { 9, "name1" },
    { 10, "name2" }
};

Otherwise you could use the standard string function strcpy. For example
#include <cstring>

//...
v[0].age = 9;
strcpy( v[0].name, "name1" );
v[1].age = 10;
strcpy( v[1].name, "name2" );

Another approach is to use class std::string instead of the character array. For example
#include <string>

// ...
struct emp
{
    int age;
    std::string name;
};

int main()
{
    struct emp v[2];

    v[0].age = 9;
    v[0].name = "name1";
    v[1].age = 10;
    v[1].name= "name2";
    for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
    {
        cout << v[i].age << " " << v[i].name<<endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Pay attention to that instead of the ordinary for loop you could use the range-based for loop.
For example
for ( const auto &item : v )
{
    cout << item.age << " " << item.name << endl;
}

A: In Modern C++:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <array>

struct emp {
  int age;
  std::string name;
};

int main() {
  std::array<emp, 2> v{{{9, "name1"}, {10, "name2"}}};

  for (const auto& item : v) {
    std::cout << item.age << " " << item.name << std::endl;
  }

  return 0;
}


And, another fine week it has been. What glorious weather…even the storm was magnificent. My lawn which was parched and brown came back almost overnight. A few more rainfalls like that and it will fully recover. All my herbs are 2 inches taller and of course the weeds sprouted back into full force. A Sunday project for the pups and me. I've harvested eggplants and cukes and just noticed a pink tomato so those are next. The lettuces bolted in the heat so unless I want a bitter salad they are done until a re-seeding towards the fall. The birdhouses are still full with babies. I wonder, do birds have two families per season or are "mine" just hanging around longer? I've stopped feeding them as there is lots of natural food around and they do keep the bugs down. Speaking of bugs, the deer flies are a menace for Niki and me on our walks. They don't go near Pico. She and I spray down big time before hitting the trails. And, the "bomber" horse flies are out in full force around the barn. I have to drench Picasso and Z with spray before venturing out. A huge one was buzzing around Z and me yesterday while riding. Thank heavens for horse tails!!! And, happy 21st Birthday my sweet Picasso.
I've had a great stretch of extracurricular activities. For starts Sharon, Chipps, Greg and I attended a Zing Train Speaker Series featuring James Beard Award-Wining Chef Rick Bayless. Titled "Growing Community One Plate at a Time" he spoke for several hours on the importance of foods impact on society. His example was farmer's markets and how they are a gathering place for people, pets, musicians and the vendors. They create a bond and joy, a community dining table. An interesting concept he kept going back to was the fact that we don't value our food and its bountiful beauty. "We always want cheap." His words. Examples were restaurants that offer 2 for one and other "deals." That food is cheap, that is why they can sell it for next to nothing. It has no nutritional value other than loads of calories fueled by lots of sugar, white wheat and highly processed proteins. Amen! His views on certainly resonate with mine—offer good food at fair prices and there isn't a need to coupon or discount. He also spoke about the value of a story. People love to hear about what is going on now or in the past. Stories are an easy way form bonds and link our lives. I think of the hundreds of tales I've heard over the years about 7 Mile and the fond memories that many have of our original little Bistro. I've become a Zing Train junkie as I always come away with new perspectives while reinforcing beliefs that are part of my being to begin with.
Then, onto an animal seminar with Linda Tellington Jones, at Banbury Cross Therapeutic Riding Stables in Oxford Mi. My good friend Carrie Pryce, a trainer at Leader Dogs for the Blind, asked if I was interested in attending. She had taken a week-long class a few years ago and has incorporated the technique at Leader Dogs. What a night it was. Linda is 82 years old and travels 10 months of the year worldwide teaching her methods. She is an internationally recognized equine expert and developed the "T" Touch approach to training and communicating with not only horses but any animal. She demonstrated, on a very patient horse and dog, the "heart hug" or tiny 1 ¼ circles in either direction on the ears, jugular area, legs and tummy. This movement promotes thought and breathing which equals heart coherence and a place of appreciation. It was amazing and I've used it on both pups and horses. It takes them some getting used to but when they do the sense of well-being for animal and human is amazing. Nearly 20 Leader Dog staff attended along with 80 others of all backgrounds.
Sharon and crew have some awesome Chalkboard Features Per Se. Sautéed Michigan Perch is served with Brown Rice, A Green Veggie Tangle and House Made Tartar Sauce; Skewered Sirloin and Onions are Grilled and Presented over Forest Mushroom Risotto and DJB Zip Sauce; Pan Roasted Florida Grouper is Accompanied with Cornbread Stuffing, Bacon Braised Lima Beans and a Dollop of Roasted Tomato Butter and Lastly Shredded Beer Braised Chicken is Tossed with Buffalo Sauce and Served over Blue Cheese Elbow Pasta. YUM!!!

Con el término Bajada se conoce en las Islas Canarias a una tradición popular y religiosa muy arraigada en varias islas de este archipiélago. La misma consiste en el traslado de la imagen de la Virgen María patrona de la isla desde su santuario habitual a la capital insular con periodicidad variada dependiendo de una isla u otra. Es una tradición muy típica sobre todo de las islas occidentales de Canarias.

Historia
El origen de estas tradiciones se encuentra en las situaciones de extrema necesidad a las que era expuesto el pueblo canario en épocas antiguas: sequías,  erupciones volcánicas, epidemias, plagas, etc. Por estos motivos se recurría a la ayuda divina, implorando la protección de la Virgen patrona insular y su imagen era trasladada a la ciudad capital. Allí se realizaban diversos ritos imploratorios para alcanzar el bien deseado, tras lo cual la imagen era devuelta a su santuario.

Se conoce que la primera imagen mariana que fue trasladada a la capital de su isla fue la Virgen de Candelaria (patrona de las Islas Canarias) a la ciudad de San Cristóbal de La Laguna (en la época capital de Tenerife) que tuvo lugar en enero de 1555. Este primer traslado se realizó por temor a los franceses y a los ataques que habían realizado con anterioridad en las costas, posteriormente sería por motivos de rogativas. A partir del siglo XX, la imagen comenzará a peregrinar también a la ciudad de Santa Cruz de Tenerife (actual capital insular).

Le siguió la primera bajada de la Virgen del Pino a Las Palmas de Gran Canaria en marzo de 1607 para pedir la lluvia. Más tarde se instituyó la bajada de la Virgen de las Nieves a Santa Cruz de La Palma por el obispo de Canarias Bartolomé García Ximénez Rabadán en 1680 (aunque la Virgen ya había bajado en épocas anteriores). En la isla de El Hierro, la Bajada de la Virgen de los Reyes se realizó por vez primera en 1643 y se institucionalizó en 1745.

Desde 1872 se celebra la Bajada de la Virgen de Guadalupe desde su santuario de Puntallana hasta la capital de La Gomera, San Sebastián de La Gomera, aunque como ocurre en otras islas, es sabido que la imagen realizó bajadas anteriormente.

En las islas de Lanzarote y Fuerteventura esta tradición es prácticamente inexistente, pues las patronas de estas islas solo han visitado las capitales insulares en momentos muy puntuales sin que exista una tradición al respecto. En Lanzarote sólo se documentan dos bajadas de su patrona, la Virgen de los Dolores a Arrecife: en 1939 como acción de gracias por la finalización de la Guerra civil española y en 1965 con motivo de la Cruzada del Rosario en Familia. En esta isla, la imagen mariana que era utilizada históricamente para las rogativas era la Virgen de las Nieves venerada en su ermita del macizo de Famara y que es la histórica patrona de la isla. Esta imagen era trasladada a su vez a la antigua capital de Lanzarote, Teguise. En Fuerteventura, la imagen de la Virgen de la Peña sólo ha sido trasladada a la capital insular, Puerto del Rosario en tres ocasiones: 1954 (por la Santa Misión), 1961 (por una grave sequía recorrió toda la isla) y 1965 (también con motivo de la Cruzada del Rosario en Familia). Sí se tiene constancia en cambio, que la Virgen de la Peña se trasladaba en épocas antiguas al casco de Betancuria (la antigua capital de Fuerteventura) por situaciones de extrema necesidad y rogativas.

Frecuencia de celebración y características
 En La Palma: Las Fiestas Lustrales de la Bajada de la Virgen de las Nieves a Santa Cruz de La Palma se celebran cada cinco años (cuando los años acaban en "0" o "5"). El año correspondiente a su bajada, el segundo sábado de julio la imagen de la Virgen abandona su Real Santuario Insular para dirigirse hacia la capital de la isla hasta el día de su onomástica, el 5 de agosto, que regresa a su templo. La última bajada se realizó en 2015 y la próxima será en 2025. Es la única bajada de Canarias en la cual la Virgen no sale de su municipio, pues su santuario se encuentra dentro del término municipal de Santa Cruz de La Palma aunque a las afueras de dicha ciudad.

 En El Hierro: La imagen de la Virgen de los Reyes se traslada a Valverde cada 4 años. Su bajada se produce el primer sábado de julio hasta el primer sábado de agosto. Durante la bajada, la imagen de la Virgen atraviesa la isla de oeste a este. Tras permanecer unos días en la capital, la Virgen recorre otros pueblos de la isla que en su mayoría se encuentran en las cercanías de Valverde. La última bajada fue en 2017, la próxima será en 2025.

 En La Gomera: Se celebran las Fiestas Lustrales de la Bajada de la Virgen de Guadalupe cada cinco años. En esta fiesta, la talla de la Virgen de Guadalupe, se traslada desde su ermita de Puntallana hasta el centro de San Sebastián de La Gomera. Es la única bajada de Canarias en la que la Virgen se traslada desde su santuario a la capital de la isla por mar. Se celebra el lunes siguiente al primer sábado de octubre. La imagen permanece en la capital insular aproximadamente dos semanas, tras lo cual y desde 1968 recorre todos los pueblos de La Gomera. La talla regresa a su ermita coincidiendo con el día de la onomástica de esta advocación mariana, es decir el 12 de diciembre o bien el sábado siguiente. Esta bajada se realiza cuando los años acaban en "3" u "8", así la última tuvo lugar en 2018 y la próxima será en 2023.

 En Tenerife: En el año 2001 el obispo Felipe Fernández García institucionalizó cada siete años alternativamente el traslado de la imagen de la Virgen de Candelaria a Santa Cruz de Tenerife (capital insular) y a San Cristóbal de La Laguna (capital de la Diócesis de Tenerife). En este caso no se trata en sí de una "bajada" como las antes citadas, pues no es una fiesta popular sino de un acto pastoral y puramente espiritual. Aun así esencialmente consiste en lo mismo: trasladar a la imagen a la capital insular y en este caso también a la capital diocesana cada ciertos años. La Virgen suele permanecer dos semanas en cada ciudad. Las fechas y meses de estos traslados son establecidos por el obispado dependiendo de la época del año más propicia para llevarlos a cabo, si bien generalmente suele realizarse en el mes de octubre (cuando se traslada a Santa Cruz) y en mayo (cuando visita La Laguna). La Virgen se trasladó en 2002 a Santa Cruz y en 2009 a La Laguna. El último traslado o visita de la Virgen de Candelaria se realizó en 2018 de forma extraordinaria a Santa Cruz de Tenerife y San Cristóbal de La Laguna conjuntamente con motivo de las celebraciones del Bicentenario de la creación de la Diócesis Nivariense que se celebraron en 2019. Los próximos traslados serán en 2025 a Santa Cruz y 2032 a La Laguna.

 En Gran Canaria: La imagen de la Virgen del Pino es bajada a Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, cuando se celebran grandes acontecimientos religiosos. La última bajada fue en 2014 al celebrarse el centenario de su designación como patrona de la Diócesis de Canarias. Anteriores bajadas han sido: en 2000 (con motivo del Año Jubilar) y en 1988 (por el Año Mariano), entre otras. La imagen permanece dos semanas en la Catedral de Canarias ubicada en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria y también suele tener esta bajada un carácter pastoral. Cuando se celebra, suele tener lugar en primavera o inicios del verano, generalmente durante los meses de mayo o junio.

Otras
Aparte de éstas, existen en Canarias otras bajadas de carácter más regional o comarcal, entre las que destacan: La Bajada de la Virgen del Pino de El Paso en La Palma cada tres años, y cada cinco años se celebran varias en otras islas, tales como la Bajada de la Virgen de los Reyes en Valle Gran Rey y la de la Virgen del Carmen de Vallehermoso ambas en La Gomera, y en Tenerife la Bajada de la Virgen del Socorro en Güímar y la de la Virgen de Abona en Arico.

FILE - Then-acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe listens on Capitol Hill in Washington, May 11, 2017, while testifying before a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on major threats facing the U.S.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has been fired — effective immediately — U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement released late Friday.
"Based on the report of the Inspector General, the findings of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility, and the recommendation of the department's senior career official, I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately," Sessions said in the statement.
McCabe, at one time the No. 2 official in the agency, whom President Donald Trump has publicly criticized for alleged political bias and reportedly wanted fired, stepped down from the FBI Jan. 30. He had planned to retire on Sunday — his birthday — with full benefits. However, now that he has been fired, some or all of his pension could be at risk.
McCabe was thrust into controversy just days before the 2016 presidential election when it was disclosed that his wife, Jill McCabe, a Democratic candidate for a seat in the Virginia Senate in 2015, had taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from a political action committee controlled by a friend of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton — then-Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe.
Trump, then the Republican presidential nominee, used the disclosure to question the FBI's impartiality in investigating Clinton's use of a private email server, before it declined to bring criminal charges against her.
But the controversy continued to dog McCabe after Trump abruptly fired then-FBI Director James Comey over the Russia investigation in May 2017, a move that led Attorney General Sessions to elevate McCabe to acting director.
McCabe, who served 22 years with the FBI, led the agency until August when Christopher Wray, a former assistant attorney general, was sworn in as the new FBI director.
Even after it was reported in December that McCabe would retire in March, when he became eligible for full pension benefits, Trump continued to excoriate the career government official.


Brace brackets and wires do the work of moving teeth to better positions. They can, however, hinder the wearer's hygiene efforts to remove plaque, a thin film of bacteria and food particles, from tooth surfaces. Plaque buildup increases the risk of dental disease and other ill effects.
One such effect while you're wearing braces is the formation of tiny spots that look pale and chalky on otherwise smooth and polished enamel. These are white spot lesions (WSLs), where acid has remained for too long on the tooth enamel. They occur because acid-producing bacteria escape removal during brushing and flossing due to the braces hardware.
We want to try to prevent WSLs while wearing braces, and not just because they're unattractive. You're actually looking at enamel erosion, which could lead to cavity development at those weakened spots.
Although difficult for you as a braces wearer, daily brushing and flossing is crucial to WSL prevention. You'll need to take more time to be sure you're reaching all around the wires and brackets. You can improve your effectiveness with special brushes for braces and floss threaders or water irrigators. You can also help keep acid levels low by cutting back on acidic foods and beverages, especially sodas, coffee or spicy foods.
Even if you develop WSLs we can treat them effectively, especially if caught early. One way is by aiding enamel re-mineralization through saliva stimulation (the mouth's acid neutralizer) or applying fluoride to the teeth to strengthen enamel. We can also use caries infiltration, a technique that injects tooth-colored resin below the surface of the lesion. This strengthens the weakened enamel and gives the area the appearance of translucence like normal enamel.
While you're wearing braces, focus diligently on keeping your teeth clean of plaque and keep up your regular cleaning visits with us. If you notice any unusual discolorations or abnormalities, see us as soon as possible. Stopping WSLs from developing will help ensure your teeth are healthy and attractive after the braces come off.


My profile is listed as being completely nonexistant.
This is the first time I've ever done well in D2 PvP and I can't even see how well I'm doing because of this stupid bug. I was able to check my stats months ago, but now, for some reason, the website is acting like my profile doesn't even exist.


Unlike other furniture at home, dining tables are highly difficult to choose. If you manage to choose one, you need to be worried about placing it in the house as well. Dining tables must meet the size requirements and must appear appropriate and presentable in the room. Normally, we do not have dining tables in the smaller modern houses in the UK. However, a dining table is a basic requirement of a house which must be fulfilled. There are different varieties of dining tables these days that can fit in even the smaller apartments. If you have less area within your house for placing dining table, Extending Glass Dining Table is the solution. There are several reasons that urge to have these dining tables.
These dining tables are medium sized that allow you to seat 6-8 people. However, seating capacity can be enhanced by pulling the extra piece of glass out from the table. This is the major feature of these dining tables that an extra part of the table can be extended. They are manufactured in such a way that an extra glass surface can easily slide out and overall capacity of the table can be enhanced. In the modern days, dining tables are required in living rooms, kitchens, or even in the balcony or garden. Having this modern style dining table is important to turn an ordinary room into something special and versatile. In a few houses in the UK, it isn't realistic to have a big enough dining for the family. In such cases, Extending Glass Dining Table can be handy. It would not just provide you with the option of extending the seating but also offer you space in your room.
Another important feature of this extraordinary dining table is that it can be adjusted according to your requirement. If you have less number of family members, the extended portion of the table can be folded. Similarly, if the number of people is increased, the table can be extended accordingly. There is a winding mechanism associated with the table's base. This enables you to convert the table with minimum trouble. In addition, they are relatively easier to transfer from a place to another. Hence, these tables are useful for both outdoor and indoor use. Their strength is another reason to choose these tables as they are made up of solid glass. Similarly, their extendable glass feature makes them special to be placed anywhere in the house.
At "Furniture in Fashion," we provide you with different designs and styles of Extending Glass Dining Table. There are dining tables that can be extended at one end while a few can extend at both ends. Similarly, a few dining tables have the legs that can be swung back and forth to enable the extension. In addition, there are different shapes and forms of extending dining tables that can be found. These include different frames like Chrome, Clear Glass, and Chrome legs, etc. Hence, you have a huge choice regarding these extending dining tables for your rooms.

Arms: Azure on a bend Gules fimbriated Or between a wildcat sejant sinister forepaw raised and a garb a weaver's shuttle Or, on a canton Tenne three daggers Argent.
Crest: A sinister hand erect forefinger extended proper holding a tea spoon bendwise Argent.
John Dann was a weaver and farmer born at Coolrain, Offerlane Parish, County Laois, Ireland, on 29 August, 1792. John Dann traveled via stage from Coolrain to Dublin, Ireland, where he left in the summer of 1819 landing at Quebec, Canada in the fall of 1819. The voyage took him seven weeks and three days. He traveled south from Lake Champlain, settling at New Hartford, Oneida County, New York.
John Alexander McPherson and family also arrived from Europe in 1819, landing at Montreal Canada, crossing into New York State. They settled on five acres in the area known as Slatenbush, in the town of New Hartford, where John Alexander McPherson ran a small farm and wove in his shop. This is where John Dann worked for John Alexander McPherson and where he met Mary McPherson, whom he later married on 17 January, 1824. They both wove together to help pay expenses. They rented a house on the turn pike road between Utica and New Hartford. Later they purchased a farm at Hillsborough in the town of Camden, New York, consisting of 140 acres, which they moved to in the spring of 1832. The Dann family later moved to the newly purchased Dann farm at Hillsborough, Camden, New York, where Margaret Dann was raised, and later left to live and work at Utica, where she was, according to Robert Dann, living in a boarding house, called Millner House, at Mrs. Maynard's in 1854, based on the 1854 city directory of Utica, New York.
After the children had all grown, the family sold the farm. John Dann and Mary moved into the town of Camden. John Dann died at Camden on 18 November, 1870, at the age of 78. Mary later sold the house at Camden and moved to New Haven, Connecticut to live with her sons until she died on 12 April, 1887, at the age of 82 years. She was buried at Fair Haven Cemetery in New Haven, Connecticut.
The blue shield represents the waters surrounding the British Isles which this family and its branches ventured out from. The orange canton and three daggers represent military service under Schomberg, at the battle of the Boyne for the cause William of Orange on 1 July, 1690. The wildcat sejant sinister forepaw raised is for the family's recollection of its maternal links to clan McPherson. The garb of wheat is for farming and the weavers' shuttle represents both the Danns and McPherson's, as dual tradesmen in farming and weaving. The silver tea spoon which was separated from the family's silver, has reemerged in the crest as a visual symbol of John Dann's last gift that he received from his mother, Ann Benn, just prior to his departure from Dublin, Ireland. That was the last time he saw her. The motto was pulled from the Dann history, "Seek to Dwell in Freedoms Hall." From a verse entered into the family's story which was handed down from father to son, as to the motivation for crossing the western sea to America. After a prior event involving the Dann family and a former landlord, John Dann stated that it was "better to dwell in freedoms hall, with a cold damp hearth and moldering wall, than to bend the neck and bow the knee, in the proudest palace of Slavery.

SUBDUCTION a lyrical and atmospheric debut
Kristen Millares Young is a journalist, essayist, book critic and novelist, as well as the current Prose Writer-in-Residence at Hugo House in Seattle. Her debut novel Subduction (Red Hen Press, April 20) is a lyric retelling of the troubled history of encounter in the Americas. It has been called an "utterly unique and important first novel" by Ms. Magazine and a "lyrical and atmospheric debut" by Kirkus Reviews. Foreword Reviews called it "a gritty novel in which floundering people find hope and understanding where they least expect it."
Subduction follows a Latinx anthropologist, Claudia, as she embarks on fieldwork on the Makah Indian Reservation carrying serious baggage – her husband just ran off with her sister. Claudia loses control as soon as she arrives in Neah Bay, where she begins an affair with Peter, the son of her best research participant. Claudia helps Peter's family convey a legacy delayed for decades by the death of his father. But her presence, echoing centuries of fraught contact with indigenous peoples, brings lasting change and real damage.

Waldo Hunt, 88, dies; repopularized pop-up books in 1960s – "He was such an important publisher of pop-up books who really advanced them technically. The pop-up designers who worked for him were amazing creative engineers," said Cynthia Burlingham, director of the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts at the Hammer Museum of UCLA.
The first golden age of movable books began in the late 1800s, when European publishers crafted elaborate books for children, and ended with the onset of World War I. With Mr. Hunt's epiphany, the second golden age was about to begin.
"I knew I'd found the magic key," Mr. Hunt said. "No one was doing pop-ups in this country. No one could afford to make them here. They had to be done by hand, and labor was too expensive."
He started Graphics International, and produced a series of pop-up ads featuring zoo scenes as part of a magazine campaign for Wrigley's gum. Soon, his company was creating pop-up table decorations and greeting cards for Hallmark.

Getting Started: People
This document is part of a complete series on Getting Started with Customer.io.
To send effective messages, your system should send relevant data to Customer.io. The data you send for each Person in your account can be used to automatically match them into Segments. This allows you to fine-tune how you target your audiences. The data allows gives you the power to personalize their message content.
All the data about a single Person in Customer.io is collectively known as their profile. A Person's profile is where you will find their Attributes, Segments, Devices, Drafts, Sent Messages, Activity Log and Journeys. You'll also see an Options menu in the upper right corner of every People page for common tasks.
We encourage you to send profile Attributes and Events for every Person in your account. If needed, you can also send Page Views and Devices. Below you'll find a brief explanation of each.
Profile Attributes
Attributes are properties stored, per Person, in your account. You use them for messaging, segmenting, or triggering Date Triggered Campaigns. They are named values you use in various places throughout Customer.io. For example, when building Segments or designing message templates. If you want to customize your messages using data that is unique to each Person, you should store that data as Attributes in their profile.
Events are actions performed by People. Events and the data you send with them (i.e., Event Attributes) can be used to trigger Campaigns. They can also make People enter or leave Segments. For example, when a Person check out on your site, you can send a "made_purchase" event. That event can trigger a Campaign to send a receipt. It can also cause a person to leave a "Hasn't made a purchase in 6 months" Segment.
Page Views are simply Events (as described above) that have "page" as their type value. If you want to create Segments based on webpages People visit (or don't visit), you will need to send us Page View data whenever a known user visits your site.
Note, you do not have to send us every Page View they make. We recommend only sending Page Views that you want to use for segmentation in Customer.io. Page View data is automatically sent to Customer.io for any page where our JavaScript snippet is present. However, you can also send Page Views to us via our API.
Devices are physical objects your People use when interacting with your system. Each Device has a unique id that is required to send mobile push notifications using Customer.io. Once you've added a Device via the API, you'll be able to see it in a Person's profile. We'll show the Device's platform, token and when that Device was last used or most recently identified.
Profile Tabs
As you send data to Customer.io, you will see the information flow into in each of the tabs shown in their profile. Attributes and Devices are explained above. Below is a brief description of the remaining tabs:
Overview - A truncated view from a handful of the other tabs.
Segments - Information about which Segments a Person belongs to.
Drafts - A log of messages that have been drafted for this Person but have not been sent yet. Expand each row for more detail.
Sent - A log of messages that we have sent or attempted to send for this Person. Expand each row for more detail.
Activity - A log of activity that has been received for this Person. Expand each row for more detail.
Journeys - A log of Campaign's and Broadcasts this Person has entered. The detail for each Journey will show you the Person's individual trip through a workflow. (Great for troubleshooting your Campaign and Broadcast configuration!)
