On Monday 28th of March 2011, members of the Norfolk and Norwich Association of the Blind visited the SCVA. The group were shown around the temporary exhibition Basketry: Making human Nature by the SCVA's volunteer guides.
Mary Butcher, a basket maker and commissioned artist for the exhibition, was around to talk about her work and provide an insight into working with different materials and techniques.
The visitors went round the exhibition in small groups and had been given permission to handle certain objects by the lenders. Visitors were encouraged to handle a variety of objects from local baskets used in the fishing trade, woven hats from Thailand, recycled baskets from Africa and a woven mummer's costume from Ireland.
Afterwards, visitors were able to take part in a longer handling session, with objects from Borneo and China.
On Wednesday the 30th March, the SCVA ran a basketry workshop at the NNAB. June Croll, who had come to the SCVA with the group on the Monday, facilitated this practical session.
The NNAB runs an extensive programme of arts and crafts activities and many of the group take part in basketry workshops held at the centre.
The aim of the SCVA workshop was to draw out themes from the exhibition and experiment with different weaving techniques and materials in order to challenge people's traditional understanding of basketry and to highlight the accessibility of the craft.
Mark, a member of staff at the NNAB who joined in the session commented:
"I think so many people when they lose their sight tend to think well I can't see so well now, so I can't do it. It's quite difficult persuading people that there are ways around doing things and lots of different techniques".
We began the session by handling objects from the SCVA that we had looked at on Monday, to rekindle some of the ideas we had already discussed. We talked about materials, how things were made and what objects might have been used for. Erica, an arts facilitator who works a lot with basketry and weaving volunteered for the workshop. She had brought with her baskets made from coconut leaves and banana fibres. These objects provided a fantastic contrast to the handling objects from the SCVA, and the objects the group had previously come into contact with during their basketry workshops at the NNAB.
During their visit to the SCVA, the group had been able to touch Mary Butcher's work. This had proved to be inspiring as it had challenged people's traditional understanding of basketry. Mary Butcher uses traditional techniques to create abstract shapes with a range of materials including willow, copper and cable ties.
Some of the group looked closely at Mary Butcher's piece, under a magnifying screen and used it as a starting point to think about their own work.
Alan, a member of the regular NNAB basketry workshops, who usually works with cane, said:
"When [Mary Butcher] started talking about the willow it made me want to work with something different".
The ratio of volunteers and facilitators to visually impaired clients was 1:1, which allowed each member to have lots of support in starting off the willow structures. June showed an example of possible ways to start, creating a circular frame from a strip of willow. This example was passed round for the group to handle. The group got stuck into creating willow frames, some followed June's example, others created ovals or more organic shapes.
There were lots of materials to choose from including: rush, willow, ribbon, plastic strips, fabric, wool, raffia, telephone wire and bark. Additional strips of willow were tied to the circle and used as uprights and horizontals to weave different materials into the frame. The group seemed to be drawn to lots of brightly coloured raffia, ribbon, wool and fabric.
The handling sessions at the SCVA and at the beginning of the workshop allowed the group to think about pattern and techniques. Touch was very important in facilitating the understanding of how basketry patterns were made. The handling of the objects informed the groups making, and choice of materials.
At the end of the session, each member of the group presented their work to the rest of us, and spoke about how they had made their woven sculptures and what they wanted to add to it in the next session.
Mark added that:
"This [workshop] has been really good because it is so tactile, you don't need good vision to do it".
The SCVA will continue to work closely with the NNAB developing on ideas that came out of the exhibition visit alongside the introduction to techniques the group worked on during the first workshop.

ICE FIELDS – Authorities seize approximately 3,200 pounds of cocaine at Port of New York / Newark NJ Border. Largest find in 25 Years
Publisher NYNJSTRONG.com March 12, 2019 ICE FIELDS – Authorities seize approximately 3,200 pounds of cocaine at Port of New York / Newark NJ Border. Largest find in 25 Years2019-03-12T03:30:07+00:00 NEWS
NEWARK, NJ: ICE reports – On Feb. 28, approximately 3,200 lbs. of cocaine, with an estimated street value of $77,000,000, was seized at the Port of New York/Newark in a joint operation involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Joint Task Force East (JTF-E), the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the New York Police Department (NYPD), and the New York State Police (NYSP).
An examination of a shipping container entering the United States revealed 60 packages containing a white powdery substance that field-tested positive for cocaine. This apprehension is the second largest cocaine seizure at the Port of New York/Newark, and the largest in nearly 25 years. "Transnational Criminal Organizations rely upon illicit networks throughout the world to supply, transport, and distribute cocaine and other dangerous drugs," said Brian Michael, Special Agent in Charge, HSI Newark. "HSI's Border Enforcement Security Task Force in Newark, comprised of CBP, Waterfront Commission of NY Harbor Police, Hudson County Sheriff's Office, Port Authority Police Department, and Dover Police Department worked together to make this operation a success. They were strengthened by HSI's international partnerships and DHS's combined assets, which play a critical role in disrupting the worldwide cocaine chain."
"This is a significant seizure, in fact it is the largest cocaine seizure at the Port of New York/Newark since May 1994," said Troy Miller, Director, CBP New York Field Operations. "The ongoing partnership between CBP, USCG, HSI, DEA, NYPD, and NYSP continues to produce results that protect the American public. This interception prevents a massive quantity of drugs from getting to the streets and in the hands of our children."
"Cocaine, New York's nemesis of the 90s, is back-indicating traffickers push to build an emerging customer base of users mixing cocaine with fentanyl," said DEA Special Agent in Charge Ray Donovan. "This record-breaking seizure draws attention to this new threat and shows law enforcement's collaborative efforts in seizing illicit drugs before it gets to the streets and into users' hands."
CBP officers seized the illicit drugs and turned them over to agents from HSI for further investigations.
HSI also wishes to thank the the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA) for their assistance.
HSI routinely works with its partner federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to intercept dangerous drugs before they can reach our communities.
HSI's workforce includes special agents, analysts, auditors and support staff. Its men and women are assigned to cities throughout the United States and to offices around the world. HSI's international force is the department's largest investigative presence abroad and gives HSI one of the largest international footprints in U.S. law enforcement.

Q: How does this method use its own method in ruby? I saw this example about the fibonacci sequence then tested it in IRB. Was hoping someone could break it down for me and show me how it's using the same method inside the method that is being defined.
def fib(n)
 return n if (0..1).include? n
 fib(n-1) + fib(n-2) if n > 1
end

A: When you define a method with def whatever(...) you are doing two things: creating a method, and assigning it to the named method slot.
When you invoke a method in Ruby it will look that up in the local scope; inside the fib method that includes the current object on which fib is defined.  So, it finds the current definition of fib and invokes it.
I mention the current part because if the fib method redefined fib on the current object inside itself the new definition would be used, not the old definition.
That is to say: it will dynamically find the code associated with the name each time the name is invoked.

A: It is called recursion...  It is a pattern that comes up in programming at times... If you want to program it is a tool/process you should learn.  Instead of regurgitating here what is already out there, just read what is on wikipedia... Which contains an explanation of the fibonacci sequence which is the defacto example of recursion.

RISING STAR GEORGE LI TO PERFORM IN OAKMONT
Rosemary Waller
It has been almost three years since my associate, Judy Walker, called my attention to a brilliant young pianist named George Li. After listening to several of his stunning clips on YouTube I began inquiries about bringing him to Music at Oakmont. But his career was taking off at warp speed, and it has taken until now to find a mutually possible date, given both our schedule and Mr. Li's. We are very excited to see this recital finally become a reality: Thursday April 11, at 1:30 PM, in Berger Center.
Since winning the Silver Medal at the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition, Mr. Li has rapidly established a major international reputation and performs regularly with some of the world's leading orchestras and conductors. He gave his first public performance at Boston's Steinway Hall at the age of ten, and in 20ll performed for President Obama in the White House at an event honoring Chancellor Angela Merkel. Mr. Li's many prizes include the 2016 Avery Fisher Career Grant, the 2012 Gilmore Young Artist Award, and First Prize in the 2010 Young Concert Artists International Auditions. In 2018 he graduated from the Harvard University/New England Conservatory joint program.
In the 2018-19 season, he makes his debuts with the London Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony, Tokyo Symphony, and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic; embarks on an 11-city recital tour of China; and tours the US with the Russian National Orchestra and Mikhail Pletnev and Kirill Karabits.
Concerto highlights include performances with the New York Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic, DSO Berlin, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Oslo Philharmonic, Orchestre National de Lyon, Sydney Symphony, and St. Petersburg Philharmonic. He appears frequently with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra.
In recital, Mr. Li performs at venues including Carnegie Hall, Davies Hall in San Francisco, the Mariinsky Theatre, Munich's Gasteig, the Louvre, Seoul Arts Center, Tokyo's Asahi Hall and Musashino Hall, NCPA Beijing, Shanghai Poly Theater, and Amici della Musica Firenze. Appearances at major festivals include the Edinburgh International Festival, Ravinia Festival, Aix-en-Provence Festival, and Montreux Festival.
Mr. Li is an exclusive Warner Classics recording artist. His debut recital album was released in October 2017, recorded live at the Mariinsky.
For his Music at Oakmont debut, he has chosen Beethoven's Andante favori in F Major and "Waldstein" Sonata, followed by several selections by Liszt. For further details, as well as program notes, please visit our website www.musicatoakmont.org.

The recent, high-profile collapse of a multi-million pound fraud trial in London highlights the importance of expert evidence.
Julie Hamilton Partner
The recent, high profile collapse of a multi million pound fraud trial in London highlights the importance of expert evidence. The role of an expert witness should be to provide the court with an opinion on a particular subject based on their experience, knowledge and expertise.
Andrew Ager had been employed as an expert witness by the prosecution in a trial of eight men accused of a £7 million carbon credit fraud. Mr Ager was completely discredited before the court and the accused were cleared. The judge stated: "Andrew Ager is not an expert of suitable calibre. He had little or no understanding of the duties of an expert. He had received no training and attended no courses. He has no academic qualifications. His work has never been peer-reviewed."
In cross-examination, Mr Ager "couldn't remember" if he had passed any A-levels. Despite stating that he was fully informed about the carbon credits market, he admitted he had not read any books on the topic, and had made no notes of any workings. He had kept sensitive material provided by the police in a cupboard under the stairs, which had been damaged by a leak. He had also cut and pasted his witness statement from other trials.
Whilst it is not an easy role to act as expert witness, there are basic principles or duties to follow, namely to act in a manner which is:
Unbiased
When instructing an expert witness, you should check their qualifications and examine their CV, including training or experience to provide the specialised evidence. You should also check the limit of their expertise – what are they not able to comment on.
Importantly, following a UK Supreme Court case in 2011 (Jones v Kaney), an expert witness can be sued for negligence or dishonesty.
There is now a Code of Practice published by the Law Society of Scotland to assist expert witnesses employed by solicitors and giving clear guidance. Experts must also comply with the code of conduct of any professional body to which they belong. The guide makes it clear that instructions to act as expert witness should only be accepted when the expert is fully qualified to speak on the subject and has the resources to complete the matter within an agreed timeframe.
Expert evidence is often crucial to the success of a case, whether civil or criminal, commercial or personal. Challenges to expert evidence, while not usually as headline grabbing or as disastrous as Mr Ager, crop up in court fairly regularly.
MacRoberts' Dispute Resolution team works with expert witnesses on a regular basis and we are well placed to ensure our clients' needs are met.

Employee Ownership Day: Why More Companies Are Taking up EO
Today marks the seventh annual Employee Ownership Day in the UK. Employee Ownership Day aims to raise awareness of employee ownership (EO) as an economically strong and balanced business model.


When I was pregnant the first time around, I attended a (very) brief set of classes for expectant moms at our local hospital. Of the three other young women in the class, all of them looked about twelve to me. They were probably more like 18 or so, but I was nearly 30. That's a pretty big difference. I was the only attendee who came with questions about hospital protocol and expectations, and I'm guessing the only one with pretty strong feelings about her birth plan. I might have been the only one who was married.
My mom was in her late twenties when my brother was born; she'd just turned thirty a few months before I came along.
Yes, there are reasons for having babies young that I can only appreciate now, now that I'm not young. If I hadn't lived a childless, adult, happily married life for 8 years before you were born, for example, I'd probably mourn that life of freedom a little less than I do.
But I wouldn't change it if I could. I like my thirties. I like raising you in my thirties.
I'm more reflective and laid back as a parent than I would have been in my early twenties; young people fresh out of college have such fervent convictions and clarity. Granted, I still have conviction—and I probably voice that conviction more than the average person—but I'm gentler than I was ten years ago. And I hope more patient.
I'm probably as stubborn as I ever was, and I still worry a lot, but I have a lot better grasp on the things that really matter.
I'm still easily distracted and can't multi-task, but I know that relationships with people are more important than finishing the book before my weekly reading group.
I'm better at appreciating beauty in normal, everyday life, but I'm still a far cry from thinking that motherhood cultivates grace. I don't see grace here, and I'm fine with saying so. That's probably something an older parent is better at, too. In my thirties, having lived my last decade in a different season, I'm comfortable with knowing that this season, like that earlier one, won't last forever. It makes me grateful, but still exhausted.
I've enjoyed growing older and getting grayer alongside your dad, who continues to inspire me, and I will enjoy growing older with you. You're transforming into little independent people already.
The summer I turned thirty, just after the Bean was born, I remember telling my mom that I couldn't believe I was in my thirties now. She told me that she couldn't believe her baby girl was 30 either! We laughed together at the time, but I realize more each day just how honest that feeling is.
That day—when my own baby is 30—will be here for me before I know it. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that at some point every day, every slow and boring and life-sucking day, I am paradoxically astounded just how quickly the overall time is soaring by.
I had no idea that watching children grow and learn and develop and change would be such a reminder of how much time is sifting through my fingers.
I've never felt angsty about aging—not about going gray, not about the freckles and age spots, not about the creases around my eyes.
But it still catches me by surprise when I glance in the mirror.


4. You should have five large circlces, 2 medium sized circles and two small circles.
8. Next with the pink piece of paper use a coin to trace two circles.
10. Now with a paper plate, use a pencil to draw a curve. Make this curve around 7cm long.
13. On one half of the cirlce draw a curve leaving a curved strip. This will be used for the smile so make it wide enough to resemble a mouth.
16. Take your paper plate and place it face down.
26. Take a large black circle and glue half of the shape.

Absolutely luscious banana cake with amazing cream cheese frosting but without being too sweet!
There are so many things to love about our Super Moist Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, from the supremely soft and smooth cake with it's dense texture to an incredible frosting to the delightful banana flavor with a hint of cinnamon…just too many things to list!! Whatever it is that gets you hooked on the flavors, you will also just love how easy this banana cake is to make!
Serve up this super banana cake after it is cooled and frosted. Enjoy! I recommend storing any remaining cake in the refrigerator (which works out great, I think the banana cake tastes even better on the second day!).
Our banana cake is super soft and moist with just a hint of cinnamon, lots of banana, and a crazy good cream cheese frosting!!
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (162 degrees C). Butter or spray your 9 x 13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray, mash your overripe bananas, then melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl or your stand mixer bowl, add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and both sugars (white and light brown) to the beaten eggs.
Add the buttermilk (see the 'buttermilk' section of our baking and cooking substitutions if you do not have buttermilk on hand), combine thoroughly for about 1 minute.
Combine the mashed bananas and melted butter, then add to the beaten egg mixture. Add the vanilla extract (or paste) and mix thoroughly (1-2 minutes).
Add the all-purpose and cake flours and mix until the batter is fairly smooth (other than some banana lumps) then transfer to your greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (162 degrees C) for 50-60 minutes.
Start checking the cake at the 45 minute mark by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center of the cake until it comes out clean. Remove from the oven once baked thoroughly and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer into the refrigerator to cool completely.
Cream the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients: confectioners sugar, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract (or paste), and ground cinnamon. Beat together using a hand mixer or whisk.
Frosting will be smooth and easy to spread when done (but not firm enough to pipe onto a cake), it is more wet than a standard frosting. Spread on the cooled banana cake. Serve immediately and store remaining cake in the refrigerator.

Clinker Cup rounds should not take longer than 4 hours, 30 minutes - note this is relatively slow anyway.
For many of this season's rounds, the Clinker will be the first group off, i.e. WE SET THE SPEED OF PLAY FOR THE COURSE.
The player with the honour should be READY to HIT FIRST. If the player with the honour isn't ready, call them a Homma, but don't wait. Anyone who is ready should hit.
Walk to your ball as soon as possible, so that you can choose your club and think about the shot in ADVANCE, not when it is your turn.
Walk down the SIDES of the fairway to reach your ball and then APPROACH it from the center. NEVER play in a convoy, moving in a group from ball to ball.
When driving a cart, drop off your partner first, let your partner choose his or her club, and then drive to your own ball to get READY to play.
If a player farther from the hole is not ready, ready players closer to the hole should hit BEFORE them to speed up play.
Help other players look for lost balls AFTER hitting your own shot, not BEFORE. A maximum of 2 minutes should be set aside for finding a lost ball.
Putt when ready - if you have a long putt and your playing partners are still en route to the green, putt. Let's be serious, the number of 50 foot plus putts made in the Clinker equates with Noodle's conversion rate in nightclubs. Get the ball closer to the hole ASAP.
ALWAYS, and we mean ALWAYS, leave clubs at the back or side of the Green closest to the next tee. NOTHING is MORE ANNOYING than watching players walk to the FRONT of a Green to retrieve their clubs AFTER everyone has putted out.
Line up your putt BEFORE it is your turn, and putt out immediately instead of marking if you are not in someone else's line. Even if you are, you're not wearing spikes, are you, Homma? It's not going to affect someone's line.
The first player on the green should grab the flag and tend or remove it as the first player to putt, putts.
If you're behind, the first two players to putt out should head to the next tee and hit while the remaining two finish up.

Photos taken by a Chesterfield man have been confirmed by the Department of Conservation to be a mountain lion. A mountain lion that is in the Chesterfield area near the Missouri River.
The Department of Conservation would like to remind everyone that mountain lions are nocturnal and tend to avoid humans. Not to be confused with cougars, who just pretend they are nocturnal, hitting up college bars and then trying to take home Johnny Frat at 10:45 because they have a big meeting tomorrow.
Beringer said mountain lions seen in Missouri are probably young males roaming from surrounding states, searching for new territory, usually along a river.
Also that Chik-Fil-A in the Chesterfield Valley is pretty good, so he could be heading over there. If you want to be safe, stay near the Olive Garden. That place is horrible.

United States v. Google: Examining the Historic Antitrust Case Against Big Tech
On October 30, 2020, the Federalist Society's Corporations, Securities & Antitrust Practice Group and the Regulatory Transparency Project cosponsored a virtual panel on "United States v. Google: Examining the Historic Antitrust Case Against Big Tech."
The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently filed its much-anticipated lawsuit against Google. The case is the most high-profile antitrust challenge since the Microsoft case more than 20 years ago. The Justice Department has alleged that Google monopolized the search and search advertising markets, inhibiting rivals such as Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo from succeeding and thereby ultimately harming competition and consumers. Our distinguished panel debated the merits of the DOJ's antitrust claims, discussed the potential parallels to the Microsoft action, and opined on the government's likelihood of success at trial.

Q: Import bulk Products with mixed categories, types & multiselect attributes I have a situation where I need to upload bulk products, the CSV or XLS will contain products that may belong to different categories and may have many product types.Also the product will contain attributes that are multiselect ( eg zip codes here a product can be associated with on eor many zip codes). and suppose a product is already present[can be identify by name or product code] in DB during a import it will update the product multiselect attributes instead of creating a duplicate entries.
Now the question is that what strategy should I approach, with normal magento import functionality is that possible ? And if I go for Magmi or some other tools how I need to go ahead with my CSV or XLS ? Their is no inventory associated with product, its more like virtual.
So is it possible with a single csv or xls to do the import and update ?
Moreover is it possible in magento ?

A: Basically, you can also import complex data to Magento as long as the import requirements are met. In general, multiple categories for products are not a problem for the import process, as well as multiple attribute values. These values will be imported as comma-separated values themselves based on the import syntax.
It's important to check for the minimum required columns for your import to work. This depends on the tools you are going to use (Magento importer vs. Magmi for instance), e.g.

"store","attribute_set","type","sku","websites"

for Magmi.
Concering efficiency I'd definitely go for Magmi, especially if you are handling larger data sets. Also, there are a couple of extensions available, such as the on-the-fly category creator. Unfortunately, the Magmi docs are somewhat minimalistic and oftentimes it's a bit of trial and error to be honest.

Gigi Hadid Is Expecting Her First Child With Zayn Malik
SplashNews
This post was updated on April 30, 2020.
Congrats are in order! According to multiple reports, Gigi Hadid is pregnant. The model is said to be expecting her first child with rumored boyfriend, Zayn Malik.
TMZ was the first to break the news, after multiple "family sources" told the outlet that Hadid is around 20 weeks along. Not long after the TMZ report, Entertainment Tonight also claimed a source close to the couple confirmed that she is pregnant.
"Gigi and Zayn are expecting their first child together and the couple is very excited!" the source told ET. "Gigi has kept the secret close to her family and friends for a while as she's only a few months along. Once Gigi and Zayn got back together at the end of last year it was like they never skipped a beat and knew what they had was special. The couple and their families are overjoyed."
Hadid and Malik started dating in 2015 and kept their on-again, off-again relationship pretty private until their 2018 split. However, the couple reportedly rekindled their romance in the fall of 2019, and they've been spending a lot of time together, especially lately, during quarantine.
Just this past weekend, Hadid posted photos of the two of them, plus her sister, Bella Hadid, celebrating her 25th birthday. "Had the sweetest day celebrating my 25th birthday with my quarantine family," she captioned the post.
And now the happy news has officially been confirmed. Hadid appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, April 30, where she went public with her pregnancy. "Obviously, you know, we wish we could've announced it on our own terms, but we're very excited and happy and grateful for everyone's well wishes and support so," she told Fallon (virtually). "I'm trying [to be present for every part of it]. Especially during this time, it's a nice silver lining to be able to be home and together and really experience it."
It's still unclear if the couple knows the baby's gender, though speculation points to a baby girl. And regardless, both families are reportedly stoked about the latest addition. "Of course we are so excited. I am excited to become Oma in September especially after I lost my mom so recently," Hadid's mom, Yolanda, reportedly told Dutch broadcasting station RTL Boulevard. "But this is the beauty of life; one soul leaves us and a new one comes in. We feel very blessed."
One thing is for sure: That will be one beautiful baby! Congrats to the couple. We will continue to update as we learn more.

I don't think that every Halloween outfit need flash the words Halloween in neon every five seconds. You can dress for the holiday in a quiet, subtle way as well. Anyone with a calendar can make the connection, but otherwise, you're just dressing for the weather – except, maybe for the spiders.
Honestly, I cannot claim that orange and black eye shadow and a spider on the cheekbone is subtly referencing Halloween. However, it is still restrained and perfectly appropriate to wear any day you like. This was a group gift – reason again that the Tuli group is well worth one of the precious 25 slots.
I am wearing the brown thermal shirt and night colored pants from Sprawl which has a store on Journey. The gray velvet jacket is from Ce Cubic Effect. The shoes from Bax Coen. I left off the calf prims in order to wear the pants leg prims.
The Eww Spiders jewelry gets an outing two days in a row, but really, who can resist pairing this skin with that jewelry?

Tracy WilkinsonWilkinson is a Times staff writer.
The hippo and crocodiles were statues made of glass and cement. But the lions and tigers were real.
It was one of those odd things drug traffickers do. Like decorating their assault rifles with gold and diamonds.
When Mexican authorities raided a secluded mansion on the outskirts of the capital recently, they did more than capture 15 alleged traffickers. They also discovered a mini-menagerie in a faux-jungle complex of caves, pools and pagodas.
There were cages holding two African lions, two white tigers and two black jaguars. Very Noah-like. Each pair was a male and female. There was also a monkey, sans partner.
It was the third time in recent years that Mexican authorities have made such a find, and similar collections have been seen elsewhere. Notorious Colombian cocaine king Pablo Escobar maintained a 5,500-acre hacienda in his country with a zoo that housed giraffes and elephants, until he was shot to death by Colombian security forces in 1993.
Drug-trafficking bosses, some of them at least, like to surround themselves with exotic animals. They do it because they can, and because they like to show off. They do it, experts say, as a sign of their virility and bravado. It's a trophy, a status symbol.
"Any kind of animal that is very rare, expensive or exclusive -- white tigers, very expensive pedigree dogs, tropical birds" -- is what these gangsters favor, said Maria Elena Sanchez, head of the Teyeliz animal advocacy group. "It is their declaration of power."
They have the money to purchase the creatures, legitimately or on the black market, and to maintain them. The tons of red meat that lions need to consume, for example, cost big bucks.
They have access to the illicit smuggling rings that can procure animals that are often on endangered-species lists. Animal traffickers and drug gangsters share berths in the same murky, violent underworld.
But when the criminals are captured, the fate of these creatures can be bleak.
Here in Mexico City, federal authorities this month raided the "narco-mansion," as it is being called, near an area known as the Desert of the Lions. Police arrived in the middle of what was described as quite a party. Bottles of liquor and pieces of bathing suits remained in the aftermath.
Authorities said they arrested 15 people -- 11 Colombians, two Mexicans, a Uruguayan and a U.S. citizen. The Colombians were allegedly connected to a major drug ring in their country and included four women. One of the Mexicans was the disc jockey son of a famous actress and her singer husband, a hint at the availability of some of Mexico's show business folk to the highest payer.
But it was the animals that typified the excesses of the alleged traffickers.
"A lot of people like to possess exotic animals," Adriana Rivero, a senior official with the government's environmental protection agency, said in an interview. "But it costs a lot of money if you are going to do it legally and in a way that maintains the dignity of the animal's captivity."
In addition to paying for the food, she said, the owner ideally should have a caretaker on staff who is specialized in handling the species, plus a regular veterinarian. And animals of such size need space, light, shade and so forth.
Though it is not clear whether the occupants of the mansion had such a support staff, the surroundings in which the lions, tigers and jaguars were found were more than adequate, Rivero said. They were kept on the elaborate compound until eventually being transported to a zoo in Guadalajara.
And they were found to be in good health: Their coats were shiny and they did not seem to fear humans, she said.
If anything, the giant cats may have been overfed. They were a bit fat.

If you are writing a book and want it to stand out amongst the stiff competition, you could do worse than give it a really bizarre title.
The Diagram Prize is an annual literary award which recognises and rewards unusual book titles. It started originally as a sideshow at the 1978 Frankfurt Book Fair, and is now a much-anticipated competition, decided by public vote. Occasionally there have been years when no winner has been announced, due to the entries not being 'odd enough'!

UN warns Myanmar
Crowds take to the streets against Myanmar's military government. The United Nations has warned the country's military of "serious consequences" if it reacts harshly to the protesters.
A UN spokesman said on Monday (February 15th) that the agency's special envoy had called the second top leader of Myanmar's military junta to warn him, according to a Reuters report.
At a news briefing at UN headquarters, Farhan Haque, a spokesman for the organization, said: "The right to peaceful assembly must be respected and the protesters must not be retaliated against."He told Myanmar's military that the world was watching closely and that any retaliation could have serious consequences. He called on the military to show respect for human rights and democratic institutions, but also warned against blocking the Internet.
In addition, the Internet has been shut down in most parts of the country. In the second phase, the internet was shut down in the country.On the 14th day of the coup, armed army vehicles were seen patrolling the streets of several cities across the country. Myanmar's military has warned anti-coup protesters that they could face up to 20 years in prison if they interfere with the armed forces.

If you read anything related to social media, you are bound to run into "experts" who emphatically declare there is a "right way" to use each type of social media.
Without a doubt in their minds, we are all using Twitter/Pinterest/Instagram/Facebook the wrong way and we need to learn the "right way" to use social media to build our online businesses. Predictably, they often have program, class, webinar, or e-book that will reveal to us the proper way to use social media.
Guess what? There isn't a "right way" to use social media. There is only the BEST WAY that works exactly the right way for each of us individually as bloggers and online business owners. It's not "one-size-fits-all." You need to figure out how to maximize each social-media platform for the specific business you are running, or for the blog you want to be successful.
Or… don't use them at all. Or pick and choose. Maybe your audience isn't big on social media. You decide what works for you and how you use it.
Social media can certainly be a tool to grow your business, and there are lots of people out there with good ideas on how to use the available social-media sites BUT as long as your readers are having fun and communicating with you and with each other, don't stress about whether or not you are utilizing every social-media network. I think many people get overwhelmed with the pressure to be fully engaged in every big social-media platform.
Here's my advice: educate yourself about social media. Listen to the suggestions of others about how to use it. Along with those suggestions, do your best to "throw out the rules" mentally and see if you can dream up some creative, non-standard ways you can use social media to benefit YOUR business and YOUR readers.

Ten women-owned businesses benefit through JBDC – Dunn
Ten women-owned businesses have benefitted from capacity-building and financial assistance during the last financial year, with the help of the Jamaica Business Development Corporation (JBDC) of the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, and with support from United Nations Women.
The assistance was provided under the Commerce Ministry's Women Entrepreneurship Support (WES) Project.
State Minister for Industry, Investment and Commerce, Dr Norman Dunn, said the assistance that was provided was out of a recognition that a "significant proportion of our Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) are headed or managed by females"
"And we are moving to address the longstanding and unique challenges faced by women-owned businesses in Jamaica," Dunn added.
He was speaking recently as he made his contribution to the 2022/23 Sectoral Debate in Gordon House.
The minister recognised two of the MSMEs that have benefitted from the collaboration with the JBDC – Joni Bale Morgan of Morgan's Creek, and Carl Sharpe of Chocollor. The two are graduates of the JBDC's Accelerator Programme, a six-month intensive development programme jointly funded by the JBDC and the Development Bank of Jamaica.
"Both are relatively new business owners; a young female entrepreneur and a retired engineer whose businesses have grown beyond their own expectations with the assistance of the JBDC despite the challenging economic conditions of the last two years and who exhibit the talent, innovation and resilience of our Jamaican people," said Dunn.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana Price Prediction for 2022, 2025, 2030
Cryptocurrency markets have been on a significant bull run for several weeks. Many traders wonder whether the recent bullish momentum is a signal for a market reversal or whether this is a temporary price hike that will be over soon. Today we look at several price predictions for top cryptocurrencies from Finder.com, including forecasts for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL).
Bitcoin Price Prediction for 2022, 2025, 2030
With Bitcoin prices trading above the $23k level and a global market capitalization surpassing $450 billion, things are looking bullish for the digital asset. However, while Bitcoin maximalists are excited, what do other analysts think?
According to Finder.com's latest Bitcoin price predictions report, after asking a panel of 53 cryptocurrency and web3 industry specialists, they believe that the digital asset will bottom out at $13k before closing the year at $25k.
Quite a conservative prediction which seems more likely as the year progresses. The likelihood that BTC will drop below the $20k level is substantial as global economic uncertainty is holding off retail investors from rushing to buy Bitcoin, even during bull runs like the ones happening right now.
Martin Froehler, Morpher CEO, said:
"Retail sentiment is at historic lows due to global economic uncertainty and inflation. Highly leveraged miners, who just had to digest the China exodus, will capitulate and increase the downside pressure even more. We will see even lower Bitcoin prices."
If Bitcoin drops below the $20k or $15k level, it could be one of the last chances to capitalize on Bitcoin's low prices before the global and the crypto bear markets recover. Keeping an eye on inflation and the stock market's sentiment would be a good gauge for signs of a market reversal.
When it comes to the longer-term price predictions for Bitcoin's price, the panel agreed that Bitcoin could easily surpass its all-time high of $70k by 2025, with some predicting Bitcoin will be worth close to $180k in 2025 and over $420k by 2030, quite a substantial increase in value over a relatively short span of several years.
Ethereum Price Prediction for 2022, 2025, 2030
Regarding Finder.com's report regarding Ethereum, the prediction isn't as bullish. According to the fintech specialists interviewed by Finder.com, the general sentiment is that ETH will drop as low as $675 before ending the year at $1,711.
While Ethereum's merge trade will provide significant upside to ETH's market, it would be too early for Ethereum's price to show substantial price growth this year. The price prediction for Ethereum for 2025 and 2030 is much more bullish, with Digital Capital Management managing director Ben Ritchie predicting ETH to be worth $10k by 2025 and $15k by 2030, claiming that now is an excellent opportunity to purchase ETH.
Most analysts agree that Ethereum's long-term sentiment is highly bullish, but the crypto asset will likely see another drop below $1,000 later this year. If that does happen, that would be an excellent time to load up on ETH.
Cardano Price Prediction for 2022, 2025, 2030
Regarding Cardano, Finder.com's latest Cardano report suggests that ADA will end the year at $0.63, slightly higher than its current price of $0.49. Similar to Ethereum, the longer-term price predictions for Cardano are highly bullish, with predictions made that ADA will close 2025 at around $3 and close 2030 at around $6.5.
The fintech specialists interviewed in Finder.com's reports agree on highly bullish crypto market movements in the next several years, which is an excellent sign for long-term crypto supporters. Crypto markets will continue to outperform stocks with the downside of increased volatility, especially during bear markets like the ones we are experiencing right now.
Fintech analysts cite the reason for the highly bullish Cardano predictions is because its price compared to the Total Value Locked on the platform is exceptionally low. In addition, the project has a long-standing reputation in the crypto community, founded in 2015 and released in 2017. Cardano is a highly underrated crypto asset worth keeping an eye on in the next several years.
Moreover, Cardano is run by academics, making it a highly robust and research-driven blockchain network constantly recruiting developers. It could outpace some of its competitors over the next several years.
Solana Price Prediction for 2022, 2025, 2030
Regarding Solana, Finder.com's latest Solana price report suggests that SOL is expected to end the year at $45. Almost half the panelists interviewed, 40%, indicated that now is an excellent time to purchase Solana, while the price is relatively low.
Solana is expected to surpass $160 by 2025 and go as high as $500 by 2030, a relatively conservative prediction compared to Bitcoin's $420k forecast by 2030.
One reason for Solana's bullish price predictions is the strength of its community. Solana boasts one of the most robust communities supporting the project and is considered a primary competitor to Ethereum. While its market cap is only 10% of ETH's, Solana could easily show substantial price growth during the next bull market and overtake Cardano.
Solana offers similar services to Ethereum and is one of the leading platforms for NFTs, which could propel SOL to the top.
In addition, the fintech specialists cite favorable comments in the tech community about Solana's stability and relatively low transaction fees, which make it an excellent option for newer traders looking to get their foot in the door with NFTs, DeFi, Metaverse, and Web3, without having to pay exorbitant network fees for every on-chain action.

Solana Price Prediction: A scalpers playground
Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and Degrain (DGRN)
Today, Tulip Protocol made the announcement that they have integrated Chainlink Price Feeds in order to better secure their yield aggregating platform that is running on the Solana mainnet. The team had previously stated their intention to integrate Chainlink Price Feeds, and at this point, the connection has been completely put into action. Chainlink is the premier decentralized oracle network in the world, safeguarding tens of billions of dollars in smart contracts. It has diversified its offerings across other blockchains, notably Solana, Fantom, Polygon, BNB Chain, and others.
In a recent blog post, the team behind the Tulip Protocol explained that they had integrated Chainlink to provide users with more confidence that leveraged positions will be liquidated equitably using extremely accurate price data and that the protocol will continue to be completely collateralized at all times.
According to Tomasz Wojewoda, Head of Global Sales at Chainlink Labs:
"We're pleased that Tulip Protocol has integrated Chainlink Price Feeds on Solana, helping secure its yield aggregation protocol with highly robust, decentralized market data. With the high-throughput performance of Solana and the strong security guarantees of the Chainlink Network, Tulip Protocol is able to empower users with a performant and secure platform."
Tulip Protocol Seeks To Take Advantage Of Solana
Tulip Protocol brings together lenders who receive a return on their deposits and borrowers who are interested in gaining access to leverage. Users who initiate leverage positions are responsible for maintaining a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio that has been previously established. The Tulip Protocol then uses the asset price data that is provided by Chainlink Price Feeds to verify that this ratio is accurate. If the value of the collateral falls below the threshold that was established by the protocol, then their position will be immediately liquidated to assist in guaranteeing that the lenders will be repaid.
Tulip Protocol intends to capitalize on Solana by giving users the ability to more regularly reinvest their income and grow their assets without having to pay exorbitant amounts of gas expenses. Chainlink oracles can now be natively integrated on Solana, making it possible for Solana-based applications to benefit from enhanced levels of security and transparency. Yesterday, OpenOcean made the announcement that they would be integrating Chainlink Price Feeds in order to help secure the limited order functionality on many chains. These chains include Avalanche, Ethereum, Polygon, Fantom, and BNB Chain.
According to Senx, Co-Founder of Tulip Protocol:
"We're excited to be using Chainlink Price Feeds on Solana to help secure our yield aggregation platform. By leveraging the most secure and reliable on-chain data available, we're able to provide our lenders and borrowers with greater assurances that liquidations are based on accurate price data, and the protocol will maintain a healthy loan-to-value ratio through all market conditions."
Allowing Stakers To Benefit From Higher APYs
Natives of the blockchain as well as newcomers to the technology are beginning to understand that decentralization does not necessarily equate to a secure platform. Given that Web3 services are currently disclosing their susceptibilities to attacks from both within and outside the network, further initiatives should be undertaken to improve the safety of user assets. Fortunately, a growing number of blockchain businesses are beginning to add various levels of security to their services in order to solidify the trust of their existing customers and attract additional investors in the near and distant future.
Tulip Protocol is the very first yield aggregation platform to be built on Solana, and it features auto-compounding vault techniques. The dApp was developed to make use of Solana's blockchain, which has a low cost and high efficiency, hence enabling the vault techniques to compound frequently. Stakeholders are able to reap the benefits of greater APYs as a result, without the need for active management.
On this week's episode of "The Market Report," Cointelegraph's resident experts discuss the latest updates concerning the recent Solana (SOL) hack.
To kick things off, we broke down the latest news in the markets this week:
Bitcoin realized price bands form key resistance as bulls lose $24K, significant whale activity between $22,000 and $24,800 adds to the complexity of the current spot market setup. Bitcoin (BTC) consolidated lower on Aug. 9 after familiar resistance preserved a multi-month trading range. When will we finally break out of this price range and make the move towards $30K?
Institutions flocking to Ethereum for 7 straight weeks as Merge nears: Report, "Greater clarity" around the Merge has driven institutional inflows into Ethereum products, according to a CoinShares report. Is the ETH merge finally around the corner and will it bring new all time highs to ETH or has the price already been factored into the current price?
Circle freezes blacklisted Tornado Cash smart contract addresses, Crypto data aggregator Dune Analytics said that, on Monday, Circle, the issuer of the USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin, froze over 75,000 USDC worth of funds linked to the 44 Tornado Cash addresses sanctioned by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) list. Could this mark the end for Tornado Cash or is there a way they can redeem themselves?
Next up is a new segment called "Quick Crypto Tips," which aims to give newcomers to the crypto industry quick and easy tips to get the most out of their experience. This week's tip: Have some funds ready to buy further downturns.
Market expert Marcel Pechman then carefully examines the Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) markets. Are the current market conditions bullish or bearish? What is the outlook for the next few months? Pechman is here to break it down. The experts also go over some markets news to bring you up to date on the latest regarding the top two cryptocurrencies.
After Marcel's market analysis, our resident experts discuss whether your SOL is safe and the latest updates on the Solana hack. We also discuss why the network has been victim to so many hacks and downtimes. What exactly do these exploits mean for the Solana platform and if you should be worried.
Lastly, we've got insights from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, a platform for crypto traders who want to stay one step ahead of the market. The analysts use Cointelegraph Markets Pro to identify two altcoins that stood out this week: Radicle's RAD and DigiByte's DGB.

Eggplant is the most popular vegetable in autumn. When well-cooked, it can taste even better than meats.There are various ways of cooking eggplant in China, but braising and steaming might be the top two popular ones. Sometimes, we marinate summer tender eggplants.
Braised eggplants with garlic sauce is my favorite method of making eggplants in this autumn, using very basic seasonings and producing a well balanced dish with strong garlic aroma. There is another popular Chinese eggplant dish named as "Yu Xiang Eggplants", which is named "Chinese eggplants in spicy garlic sauce". That's a completely different versions.
Though eggplants can be extremely delicious, they are not liked by every house wife cook as they are hard to handle and need lots of oil. I have been trying to search ways to reduce oil absorbed by the eggplants. The final solution is to soak the eggplants in slightly salty water and let them to absorb the water as much as possible. The water contained in the eggplants can help to accelerate the cooking process and make the eggplants much softer.
Coating eggplants with cornstarch might be another effective method, as the cornstarch will form a perfecting outside shell. But the eggplants lose the soft and sticky texture if cornstarch is adopted.
Before we start to make this garlicky eggplants, please note that the oil used for cook the eggplants is not the oil amount you will take in. When the eggplant bites are cooked until soft, they will release the oil and you can save the oil for vegetable stir fries. So you can absolutely speed up the frying process by using more oil to cover the eggplants. Authentic Chinese table has a different philosophy from western cuisine. We do not emphasize on single dish but the whole table. When this dish is oily, we usually match simple and light soups (tofu soup with Bok Choy) or stir fries to balance the nutrition.
Cut the eggplants into one bite size. Throw them in a large pot with water, add pinch of salt and marinate with a weight for 10 minutes. Transfer out and drain slightly (do not over dry, just pick the eggplants up).
At the mean time, heat up wok and 3 tablespoons of oil. Add the eggplants in wok and fry over middle fire. Stir from time to time but do not move the eggplants frequently. When they are softened, transfer the eggplants out and keep some oil for frying the garlic. Less oil stir-frying may take longer time. If you want to speed up the process, use 1/3 cup of oil and deep-fry those eggplants bites.
If there is no oil left, add around 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Add garlic in, heat over slow fire until aromatic.
Add green peppers and return the eggplants, add light soy sauce and sugar. And sprinkle salt at the last.

This looks divine! Indeed, this is the second Chinese eggplant recipe I've seen today. Interesting that it is considered an autumn vegetable in China. In Italy (and elsewhere I think) it is a summer vegetable. Either way, it's one of my favorite veggies!
We have summer eggplants too. They are quite popular in those two seasons.
Here in Italy we are fond of eggplants. But i don't like them cooked in a lot of oil, so we cook them on the grill, and add oil and sauces only for the final step in the pan.
That's a wonderful method. We love to roast and grill the eggplants too. Sometimes, we marinate eggplants with salt for 10-15 minutes until withered before mixing with the sauces.
Yum! I agree that eggplant can be yummier than meat. Especially when prepared like this.
Made this tonight for some friends. Everyone loved it!
Hi Elaine, I cannot eat peppers, will sub baby bok choy, do you think that will be suitable.
Have made Szechuan eggplant and really enjoy it.
If you cannot eat peppers, I would suggest using scallion to enrich the flavor instead of bok choy.
I just made this! It s delicious!!


With the U.S. Open just days away, rumors flew on Tuesday that tennis superstar Maria Sharapova was looking to temporarily change her name to "Maria Sugarpova" during the tournament to promote her personal line of candy.
Respected tennis writer Neil Harman of the Times of London broke the story this morning, and his article was followed by a flurry of additional press from leading outlets.
Initially, Sharapova's agent was silent on the matter, but put out a statement this afternoon that the tennis star would not be changing her name due to the travel difficulties that doing so would cause.
Regardless of whether (or most likely not) she ever had the intention of actually changing her name, Sharapova's PR team definitely aced the outside-the-box publicity stunt. The fact that this silly story has made headlines, generated buzz and is being written about in blogs (including this one) has created a boost in brand awareness for her gummy candies. Advantage Sugarpova.

El Cementiri Municipal és una obra de la Cellera de Ter (Selva) inclosa a l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.

Descripció
Ens trobem davant d'un cementiri de planta rectangular, que contempla una estructuració típica i en sintonia amb la resta de cementiris populars de la comarca, que consisteix en la distribució o organització dels nínxols en fileres. Tanmateix aquesta solució arquetípica es troba complementada amb l'adossament d'altres nínxols en tot el perímetre, aprofitant per tant l'espai físic que aquest genera.

Orientat al nord, trobem un imponent mausoleu de planta quadrada, cobert amb una teulada a dues aigües de vessants a laterals. Es tracta d'un mausoleu de tipologia neogòtica, com així ho acrediten diversos elements compositius: des de l'arc de mig punt apuntat, passant pels pinacles fins a arribar al coronament triangular farcit d'elements florals.

El mausoleu és propietat de la família Noguer Taberner i a l'interior es pot llegir una inscripció interessant que diu: "AÑO 1903 / PROPIEDAD / DE / DÑA MARGARITA TABERNER. / A LA MEMORIA DE SU /
DIFUNTO ESPOSO / DON ISIDRO NOGUER / Q. E. P. D.".

A part de la inscripció, a l'interior també cal remarcar la presència d'una sèrie de pintures murals. Així a l'esquerra trobem el símbol del "tempus fugit" sota tres sepulcres i a la dreta el terme "recuerda" també sota tres sepulcres. Unes pintures que fan al·lusió al caràcter efímer del temps i de la vida.

A part del mausoleu, orientada a l'oest trobem la solemne capella del cementiri. Es tracta d'una capella d'estil neoromànic, de nau rectangular i absis semicircular, coberta amb una teulada a dues aigües de vessants a laterals coronada per un campanar d'espadanya. En la façana principal cal destacar l'ull de bou en forma de creu grega i la portada amb degradació d'arquivoltes d'arcs de mig punt. Una faixa d'imitació d'arquets llombards decora l'exterior de les parets de la nau i de l'absis.

A nivell interior de la capella, els murs tendeixen a la imitació i reproducció del fals aparell encoixinat a base de carreus de pedra regulars. A més a més cal destacar la presència d'un fris que recorre tot el perímetre de la nau, però que no té projecció en la façana, la qual per contra sí que està ornada amb la presència d'un vitrall cruciforme, de creu grega.

Pel que fa a l'estat de conservació de la capella, aquest és evidentment dolent com així ho acrediten les pèssimes condicions físiques en què es troba tant la façana com l'interior. Quant als materials prima especialment el rajol, arrebossat i pintat.

Història
En origen l'absis semicircular de la capella servia paral·lelament com a tancament del cementiri. Ara bé, aquesta situació ha canviat radicalment arran de les pertinents obres d'ampliació del cementiri. Unes obres que es van iniciar fa dos anys i que s'han prolongat fins a l'actualitat.

La nissaga Noguer i Taberner, recordem-ho titular i propietària del mausoleu, va tenir com a principal exponent a Calixt Noguer i Taberner. Fill de Isidre Noguer i Margarita Taberner - els noms de les dues persones que apareixen citades en la inscripció del mausoleu- va néixer a la Cellera el 14 d'agost del 1864.

Entre els seus mèrits professionals, cal destacar el d'haver estat premiat en el Concurs Farmacèutic Provincial de Girona, del 15 de desembre del 1907. També va ser soci de l'Acadèmia Mèdico-Farmacèutica de Barcelona, sots-president de les seccions de ciències i farmàcia del Centre Escola de Barcelona, soci actiu del Col·legi de Farmacèutics, de la Reial Acadèmia d'Higiene de Catalunya, i de la Societat Espanyola d'Higiene de Madrid i membre del Col·legi Oficial de Farmacèutics de Girona. Dins del poble va ocupar diferents càrrecs de responsabilitat, a l'Ajuntament, al Jutjat, a la Cambra Agrícola i a la Junta Local de Sanitat.

Va escriure nombrosos treballs científics, publicats i llegits a l'Acadèmia Mèdico-Farmacèutica de Barcelona. Pel que fa a temes locals, cal destacar la memòria històrico-científica de les aigües minero-medicinals corresponents a la primera regió hidrològica, a les vores del riu Ter i de la riera d'Osor, dins el terme de la Cellera, que va servir de base per a declarar-les d'utilitat pública.

Entre els sis fills que va tenir, cal destacar a Santiago Noguer, que va ser cap del Servei Dermatològic de l'Hospital de Sant Pau i de la Creu Roja. A part de ser membre de diverses acadèmies dermatològiques de tot el món va presidir diferents congressos d'aquesta especialitat.

Un fet cabdal dins l'urbanisme local va ser la construcció, l'any 1890, del nou cementiri al camp d'en Gurri, que havia estat llargament reivindicat, abandonant per tant el cementiri primigeni ubicat en la plaça de l'Església.

Q: Can one compute the autocorrelation of covariance matrices sampled by MCMC? Imagine that we sample a covariance matrix from a Wishart distribution by MCMC.
At every iteration, we get a new sample matrix $S_i$ from the Wishart distribution.
Question: Given the trace that contains all the samples $S_1,...S_n$, can I plot the autocorrelation of these samples?
I have seen someone using the autocorrelation of $\log(\det(S))$, but I found no justification.

A: The way I see it, when drawing $p \times p$ matrices $S_1, S_2, \dots S_n$ from a Wishart distribution, you are really drawing $p\cdot (p+1)/2$ specifically related univariate random variables at each time step. I.e., only the $\text{vech}(S_i)$ part of any $S_i$ [ = the upper triangular part] is random, and symmetry gives you the rest. In other words, the autocorrelation is defined pairwise for any two entries of the $p\cdot (p+1)/2$-dimensional vectors $\text{vech}(S_i)$ and $\text{vech}(S_{i-h})$ for any $h>0$. Of course, this leaves you with a possibly infeasibly large number of $(p\cdot (p+1)/2)^2$ univariate autocorrelations to track, and since the entries of each $\text{vech}(S_i)$ will be meanfingully related to one another (see for example the definition given via draws from a normal here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishart_distribution), I could well imagine that you discard information by doing this univariate analysis. That being said, the univariate autocorrelations can be calculated entry-wise by first defining
\begin{align}
 \bar{S} &= \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \text{vech}(S_i) \\
 \bar{S_h} & = \frac{1}{n-h}\sum_{i=h+1}^n \text{vech}(S_i)\text{vech}(S_{i-h})^T.
\end{align}
Clearly, $\bar{S}$ is a natural estimator for the upper triangular part of the expectation (that you can replace with the true expectation of your Wishart distribution if it is known to you). Similarly, $\bar{S}_h$ is a natural estimator for the moment $\mathbb{E}(\text{vech}(S_i)\text{vech}(S_{i-h})^T)$. Lastly, noting that
\begin{align}
\text{Cov}(\text{vech}(S_i)\text{vech}(S_{i-h})^T) = \mathbb{E}(\text{vech}(S_i)\text{vech}(S_{i-h})^T) - \mathbb{E}(\text{vech}(S_i))\mathbb{E}(\text{vech}(S_i))^T,
\end{align}
one arrives at the autocorrelation estimates $A(h)$ for $\text{vech}(S_i)$ via
\begin{align}
 A(h) &= \bar{S}_h - \bar{S}\bar{S}^T.
\end{align}
As mentioned before, this gives you the $(p\cdot (p+1)/2)^2$ autocorrelations of each Wishart matrix entry with each other Wishart matrix entry. If that is too much information to display, I think one strategy that you could take would be to define the univariate time series
\begin{align}
 a(h) &= \frac{1}{(p\cdot (p+1)/2)^2}\sum_{i=1}^{(p\cdot (p+1)/2}\sum_{j=1}^{(p\cdot (p+1)/2}|A(h)_{ij}|,
\end{align}
i.e. you simply take the average of the absolute value of the autocorrelation. If you only care about positive autocorrelations and don't think that negative autocorrelation is detrimental, then spare yourself the absolute value. Similarly, if you think that autocorrelation along the diagonal is worse than off the diagonal or the other way around, you could add weights $w_{ij}$ that take this 'loss function' into account.

A GIS is a computer system capable of assembling, storing, manipulating and displaying geographically referenced information, i.e. data identified according to their locations. A GIS combines layers of information about a location to give a better understanding of that place. What layers of information the system combines depend on the user's purpose – finding the best alignment for a proposed highway, analysing environmental impact, viewing similar crimes in a city to detect patterns, presenting the 3D landscape model for urban planning, exploring the landslide susceptibility of a region, and so on.
What is the requirement for the data of GIS?
A GIS can use information from different sources i.e. typical relational database, satellite images, aerial photos, CAD or even Excel data files. The primary requirement for the source data is that the locations for the variables are known. Locations may be annotated by x, y ...
A GIS can use information from different sources i.e. typical relational database, satellite images, aerial photos, CAD or even Excel data files. The primary requirement for the source data is that the locations for the variables are known. Locations may be annotated by x, y and z coordinates of longitude, latitude and elevation. Any variable that can be located spatially can be fed into a GIS.

One of the main benefits of a GIS is the improvement in management of organisation and resources. A GIS can link datasets together using common locational data, such as coordinate readings or addresses, which helps departments and agencies share their data. By creating a shared database, departments can benefit from the work of others – data can be collected once and used many times.
Why GIS can Make Better Decisions?

"Better information leads to better decisions" which is true for GIS. A GIS is not just an automated data viewing system but a tool to query, analyse and map data in support of the decision making process. For example, GIS can be used to help reach a decision about the location of a new housing development that has minimal environmental impact, is located in a low-risk area and is close to a transport hub. The information can be presented clearly on a map and accompanying report, allowing decision makers to focus on the real issues rather than trying to understand the data. Because GIS products can be generated quickly, multiple scenarios can be evaluated efficiently and effectively.
Why GIS is so popular?
Very often people say "I see" to mean "I understand". Pattern recognition is something human beings excel at. There is a vast difference between seeing data in a table of rows or columns and seeing it presented in the form of a map. The difference is not simply aesthetic, it ...
Very often people say "I see" to mean "I understand". Pattern recognition is something human beings excel at. There is a vast difference between seeing data in a table of rows or columns and seeing it presented in the form of a map. The difference is not simply aesthetic, it is conceptual – it turns out that the way people see their data has a profound effect on the connections and conclusions that they can make from it. GIS gives users the layout and drawing tools that help present facts with clear and compelling documents.

De Huntingdale Golf Club is een besloten golfclub in Oakleigh ten zuidoosten van Melbourne, Australië.

De club kreeg bekendheid toen er in 1979 de eerste editie van de Australian Masters werd gespeeld. De club bleef 30 jaar lang gastheer van het toernooi.

Geschiedenis
De naam van de club bestaat pas sinds de heropening van de club in 1941.

De club werd in 1896 opgericht als de Surrey Hills Golf Club, maar sloot in 1914 toen de ootlog uitbrak. Na de oorlog kwamen de voormalige leden bijeen en richtten de Box Hill Golf Club. Ze hadden toen een baan aan de Canterbury Road in Box Hill. In 1928 werd de club overgenomen door een commissie die een 18 holesbaan bij de Doncaster Road opende. De naam van de nieuwe club werd toen Eastern Golf Club.

In 1938 werd weer een andere locatie gekozen. De baan werd aangelegd door C H Alison en hij werd in 1941 geopend, terwijl ook toen de huidige naam van de club werd geïntroduceerd.

Sinds 1979 heeft de baan de status van kampioensbaan (Championship's Course).

Google suggests a Holocaust denier as the first search result for "Holocaust historian"
Post author By DLM
Jewish journalist Josh Nathan-Kazis, who writes for the Forward, has tweeted that Google's top search result when searching for "Holocaust historian" comes up as notorious Holocaust denier David Irving.
We corroborated the report, and found that Irving appears first, ahead of figures such as Raul Hilberg and Deborah Lipstadt.
David Irving, as well as being a Holocaust denier, reportedly claimed that British Jews were "not British". He is an active speaker in neo-Nazi circles and has previously been jailed for Holocaust denial in Austria.
Last year we reported on the extreme prominence of Holocaust denial material on Amazon, which despite pressure from the public still seems to persist.

Entering "Death to Jews" into Google Maps brings up Temple Mount
Post author By Everyday Antisemitism
Google user Ari Feingold noticed that entering "Death to Jews" into Google Maps brings up the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
Google has in the past had to manually edit search results to prevent the antisemitic "Jew Watch" website from appearing as the first result when searching for "Jews" and to prevent Google Direct from answering the query "Who runs Hollywood?" with "Jews".

The design artifact created through this thesis is a series of animated and video-recorded documentary shorts. Making what is normally hidden visible, this design piece displays an evolving self-portrait of my process applying a hermeneutic, embodied methodology to my own design practice. These shorts function as both a documentation of this iterative research and as a multimedia communication tool.
Each short ranges from 3 to 6 minutes in length; there are 13 shorts or "chapters" in total, for a total of 40 minutes of footage. Together, these shorts document my initial interpretations, and how these interpretations evolved as my "horizon of understanding" grew through the various dialogues I engaged in over the 9-month research period. Each chapter introduces a separate element of my research, progressively building a narration of my research experience, as I engaged in a literature review, six semi-structured interviews, and an embodied dialogue with myself. Together, these documentary videos showcase a case study of my dialogue and transformation as I explored the research question, how can I disrupt current narratives of women in design? It is worth noting that, although this project has a necessary end point (my thesis exhibit and defence), in theory this would be an iterative process without a final "solution", since participants in dialogue are continually evolving and changing.

Barbra Streisand has been called the "most successful...talented performer of her generation" by Vanity Fair, and her voice, said pianist Glenn Gould, is "one of the natural wonders of the age." Streisand scaled the heights of entertainment—from a popular vocalist to a first-rank Broadway star in Funny Girl to an Oscar-winning actress to a producer and director. But she has also become a cultural icon who has transcended show business. To achieve her success, Brooklyn-born Streisand had to overcome tremendous odds, not the least of which was her Jewishness. Dismissed, insulted, even reviled when she embarked on a show business career for acting too Jewish and looking too Jewish, she brilliantly converted her Jewishness into a metaphor for outsiderness that would eventually make her the avenger for anyone who felt marginalized and powerless.
Neal Gabler examines Streisand's life and career through this prism of otherness—a Jew in a gentile world, a self-proclaimed homely girl in a world of glamour, a kooky girl in a world of convention—and shows how central it was to Streisand's triumph as one of the voices of her age.
Neal Gabler is the author of An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood; Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination; Winchell: Gossip, Power and the Culture of Celebrity; and Life: The Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality.
