CURRENTLY LIVING IN: New London, Conn.
FAVORITE TRAVEL DESTINATIONS: Favorite place I've been to is Israel; place I'd like to go is Iceland.
FAVORITE JEWISH PEOPLE NOT IN YOUR FAMILY: Omri Casspi (the Israeli basketball player who has played 10 years in the NBA).
I was raised Conservative. We went to Chabad of the North Shore my whole life and celebrated all the holidays, and all that good stuff, and I was bar mitzvahed and I have three brothers who were bar mitzvahed, too. After my bar mitzvah – kind of a common thing for a lot of Jewish kids – we kind of started slacking and it wasn't really as important to us.
I recently went on Birthright and it definitely changed everything. It was absolutely amazing. I met so many friends – I didn't realize how diverse Jewish people were, but I met Indian Jews, Ethiopian Jews, Asian Jews … it was really cool. Ever since then – because my dad does tefillin and davens every morning and I watched him doing that growing up – so ever since I came back from Birthright in January, I've been doing tefillin and listening to the Torah portion each morning and going to the Hillel House at my school.
I've been playing hockey since second grade. Hockey is a really white sport and there's a lot of reasons for that. The few African-American players who are in the NHL right now – they're not always received that well. There was an event where the fans started chanting "basketball" at Devante Smith-Pelly of the Washington Capitals, and I just thought that was the worst thing ever.
So I'm in a pathways program at my school, which is kind of like a major, and it allows you to work on an animating question that you think is really interesting, and try to do something to help the cause. I wanted to show that hockey and skating are for everybody. We work with students in grades 6 through 8 at a school in New London, and none of them have played hockey before. I worked it out with the rink manager to get the ice time and skates for free. We do 10 weeks – nine sessions from the fall to the spring with about 30 students, and for our last session we did a big banquet. They started out not knowing how to skate, and now we play capture the flag, red light/green light – they're not able to play hockey yet, but they skate backwards, they're spinning – they definitely improved a ton from when we got on the ice.
HOW HAS THIS PROJECT AFFECTED YOU?
I spent a lot of time working on it, and just seeing it all play out – putting in that work really makes a difference to those kids makes it worth it – seeing everyone smiling, and having a good time. It's been great to see my big project come to life.
DID YOUR JEWISH IDENTITY MOTIVATE THIS PROJECT?
I think definitely, because from the time I was little my parents talked about tikkun olam – repair the world – and always thinking about what we can do to help make the world a better place and do something good for other people, and I think that definitely helped power the project.
This summer I'm going to be working at Loomis Chaffee – which is a boarding school in Connecticut – and hopefully after I graduate I'll be able to work at a boarding school, because I work in residential life now – I'm the head resident assistant – I hope to be a teacher, a coach in hockey, soccer, and baseball, and also be a dorm dad.


Plush, pillowed pontoon boat seats with quality double top stitching for that new boat look.
These pontoon boat seats make up our Premium PG1580 pontoon furniture set.
Unfortunately no, we only have the Gray/Blue/Charcoal furniture with a gray main color. We have an Ivory and Teal color option in our Classic pontoon furniture but not the exact colors you are looking for. I apologize we cannot be more helpful and thank you for the opportunity.
Do you have tan/beige color in CG1816 configuration? Also, do you have live well seats? What about applying vinyl over carpet?
Unfortunately our tan/beige color is only available in our premium line of pontoon boat seats. We are actually working on new livewell inserts that will drop into the seat bases on our pontoon furniture at this moment. You'll be able to turn any seat into a livewell and we will have kits also available with all the plumbing, wiring and the pump. We won't have it ready for another few months though as we are currently in the process of building the molds for the new livewells.
As far as applying vinyl over your existing pontoon carpet... I'd recommend against doing that. The carpet will eventually deteriorate and rot away under the vinyl and I just don't know what that will do the vinyl itself. The old glue may interact with the vinyl flooring also. Just seems like a risky move as you'd need to tear everything apart again to redo the floor. Removing the carpet is one of the hardest parts so I don't blame you for trying to find alternatives! Thank you for the opportunity!

Cloud Platform Release v20.12.0
Cloud Platform Release v20.9.0
Total Uptime Successfully Completes 4th Consecutive SOC2 Type 2
Our awesome development team has been stuck at home for the last several weeks due to COVID-19 and have worked very hard to add a lot of new functionality and address a few bugs. Below you'll find a summary of the most important updates included in this version:
GEO Weighting: We released a long awaited improvement to the GEO Weighting functionality (part of the ADCaaS Performance edition). Prior to this update, the lowest weight value you could set for a device weight was "1". But even when other devices for that region were set to the highest weight of "100", the load balancer still allowed a very small amount of traffic through to the "1" weighted device by design. In release v19.12.0 we released the Geographic Proximity load balancing method which helped immensely to prevent cross-continent load balancing, but this did not completely solve inter-continent routing especially in North America where it is divided into 3 sections.
In this release we have added an additional option of "OFF" for a GEO weight. This effectively removes the device from the load balancer in the region ensuring that it never receives any traffic. Because this will also prevent it from receiving traffic if all other devices in the region are down, enabling the OFF option does require at least one device in a failover group to prevent a traffic blackhole. A sample of how this could be used is shown below.
Back-end Platform Updates: We made a significant back-end performance improvement to device update/add/delete methods. Previously when a change was made to a networking device, including a delete, it could take several minutes for the change to be pushed across our platform. This has been reduced significantly and now changes complete approximately 10x faster.
Canvas Drag & Drop: We resolved an issue in the Networking Configuration Builder Canvas where dragging and dropping devices from the left panel into the port map groups would not always work properly.
Device Status Log Archive: We have implemented an archive for messages in the Device Status log past 30 days. This is primarily to improve database search performance since some customers generate events every few minutes creating millions of records that are inefficient to search.
UI Messages: We modified a number of pop-up messages in the UI to provide more relevant feedback about the task being performed.
Connections: Previously we updated the Networking > Connections tab to retain data for a longer period of time. We ran into some unexpected data issues which caused periodic display gaps. This has been resolved in this deployment.
Device Status: We continue to enhance the device status reporting. Periodically a device would get stuck in a state of "POLLING" and would not exit. This release includes a fix to detect this and seek an update for the real status.
Notifications: We re-wrote a significant portion of code that handles how email and SMS alerts are sent. Included is new message prioritization functionality that can be used later for processing higher priority messages faster. This is the first part of a significant project to improve message handling and delivery reliability.
Back-end tools: We deployed a number of back-end tools that you can't see in order to make it easier for us to deploy and synchronize new DNS infrastructure. As we continue to expand and improve our platform, we wanted to make it easier on ourselves to do so!
Subscriptions: We released a number of changes to our billing and payments (subscriptions) system. This is still in beta but the feedback we've received and enhancements we've been making will make our initial production release very solid. Hopefully it's soon! We know you're patiently waiting for it.
DNS SOA During Import: We resolved a bug where the DNS SOA record would not always increment when importing a large zone file.
Change Log History: We increased the length of the change log from 6 months to 24 months per customer requests to better enhance security and log review policies.
Editing HTTP monitor: Occasionally when editing and saving an existing HTTP monitor, an erroneous alert would display regarding a missing argument. This has been resolved.
Monitoring in seconds: We released beta functionality to allow setting a monitor interval as low as 10 seconds. Up to this point we have only ever allowed an interval of 1 minute. Due to popular demand we have added functionality to allow seconds for specific use cases. There will be a small supplemental charge for customers that wish to use this due to the extra load across platform monitoring nodes.
DUO 2FA: We improved how we handle DUO setup and modified the UI to reflect the streamlined implementation.
Zone Transfer IP Mask: We improved the UI when entering Zone Transfer IP ranges instead of a subnet to make it obvious that a subnet mask is not required.
DDoS Statistics: Lastly, we've been protecting clients with advanced DDoS mitigation functionality for some time, but we haven't really shared much detail about what we're seeing and how we're protecting you behind-the-scenes. In this release we now show DDoS charting. Below is an example of what it might look like for a situation where attacks are frequent. Hopefully your DDoS stats are always empty!
That's it for this update. Please send us your feedback! As we continue to evolve our solution to be the leading ADC-as-a-Service platform, we want to know what you think. Tell us the good and the bad. Let us know what features you think we should have and which ones are a waste of time, buggy, or don't make sense. The more feedback you give us, the better our product becomes because we really do listen! Please contact us! We love hearing from our customers.

Q: Building a container around each pdf page I want to build a container around an existing PDF page, so actually enlarge that document  and put it in the middle so that I can write more things into.
What I tried so far :
                        // Open the file
                    PdfDocument inputDocument = PdfReader.Open(filename, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import);// PdfReader.Open(filename, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Modify);

                    PdfDocument newContainerDocument = new PdfDocument();

                    // Create an empty page or load existing
                    for (int idx = 0; idx < inputDocument.PageCount; idx++)
                    {
                        PdfPage page = new PdfPage(); //this should be the actual container
                        page.Width = tempWidth;
                        page.Height = tempHeight;

                        //gfx.DrawImage(image, (page.Width / 2) - (width / 2), (page.Height / 2) - (height / 2), width, height); //put it in the middle of  the container, this would only work with IMAGES ... using "XGraphics"

                        // Add the page and save it
                        newContainerDocument.AddPage(inputDocument.Pages[idx]);

                    }

                    newContainerDocument.Save(String.Format("{0} - Page {1}_expandedFile.pdf", insertName,DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString()));

                    inputDocument.Close();
                    newContainerDocument.Close();

But I get:

The document cannot be modified

What is wrong here ?
Thank you

A: PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import is for import, allowing you to copy pages to a new file.
PdfDocumentOpenMode.Modify is for modifications.
I think the problem is that you do not copy pages, you add existing pages to a new document.
Your code might work with Clone():
newContainerDocument.AddPage((PdfPage)inputDocument.Pages[idx].Clone());
I would create a new page and draw the existing page onto that page, as this sample does:

Trumka: Fight Climate Change the Right Way
Speech | Better Pay and Benefits · Manufacturing
Richard L. Trumka
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka delivered the following remarks at the Global Climate Action Summit:
Good morning and thank you to Governor (Jerry) Brown for inviting me here to say a few words on behalf of the 12.5 million working women and men who belong to the 55 unions of the AFL-CIO.
I am a coal miner by trade. That might seem unusual at a summit like this. But I learned something about science in the mine. When the boss told us to ignore the deadly hazards of the job...that sagging timber over our heads...that Black Lung cough...science told us the truth. And today, again, science tells us the truth: Climate change threatens our workers, our jobs and our economy.
That's why the labor movement supports bold, comprehensive action to fight climate change.
That's why we support continued progress on vehicle tailpipe standards, and why we passed a strong climate resolution at our last convention.
That's why we continue to support the Paris Agreement.
Make no mistake, this is a tough issue for us. But, in the labor movement, we're used to tough issues and hard choices. We're prepared to do the right thing for our people and our planet. And we know that this fight can–and must–be about investing in a better, more inclusive, more just future...about creating good jobs and good lives for working families.
So I would ask each of you: does your plan for fighting climate change ask more from sick, retired coal miners than it does from you and your family? If it does, then you need to think again.
Climate strategies that leave coal miners' pension funds bankrupt, power plant workers unemployed, construction workers making less than they do now...plans that devastate communities today, while offering vague promises about the future…they are more than unjust...they fundamentally undermine the power of the political coalition needed to address the climate crisis.
Our enemies use these plans to divide us. They point to them to feed a politics of division and fear that threatens our entire democracy.
I understand that many are frustrated with the pace of action on climate change. But simply demanding that plants, industries and projects be stopped or shut down, with no plan for the people who are put out of work...no call for shared sacrifice...and no dialogue or solidarity with those whose lives and communities are dependent on carbon-based fuels...that poisons the well politically and slows meaningful action on climate policy. It is not good enough to simply call for an end to carbon emissions—we have a responsibility to think thoughtfully and strategically about how to actually make that change.
As a labor movement, we are ready to move faster. What does that require? People like you sitting down with people like me to figure out how we fund the investments in technology, workers and communities that can build a sustainable economy of broadly shared prosperity.
California is showing us the way forward. Under Governor Brown's leadership, unions, employers and government have come together to fight climate change and create good jobs by attaching labor standards to climate policies.
In the San Joaquin Valley alone, right in California oil country, there have been over 4,000 megawatts worth of new clean energy projects in the past two decades. Fifteen million job-hours of union work, at union wages and with union benefits, made that possible. And new paid sick leave and workers' compensation laws, combined with strong collective bargaining agreements helped keep our members healthy and safe in the process. That's what it looks like when we partner to fight against climate change and for good jobs.
This is a remarkable time for collective action. Teachers from West Virginia to Arizona…workers in transportation, journalism, energy and more are coming together for a voice on the job. The popularity of unions recently hit a 15-year high. And we're just getting started. We can bring this energy and momentum to the fight against climate change.
Let's join together. Let's get the job done. And let's do it the right way. Thank you very much.
Letter Supporting the Raise the Wage Act
Union Member Brings Unemployment Benefit Increase Bill to Governor's Desk
The TWU Celebrates Its 20th Organizing Victory!
Millions of working people across the country are paid wages that leave them in poverty, even when working full-time and year-round. Tell Congress it's time to raise the federal minimum wage.

Q: Prime Number Calculations Help Java I am a novice, please excuse my lack of organization.
Okay, so what I did was I made an array filled with all the prime numbers between 8 and 100. What I want to do now is make another array that finds all the prime numbers between 101-200. So allow me to explain how I did the first part:
//Prime1 is an dynamic integer array which stores all the prime numbers between 8 and 100
int arrayCounter = 0;
for(int primeTest = 8; primeTest<=100; primeTest++)
{
    if(primeTest%2!=0 && primeTest%3!=0 && primeTest%5!=0 && primeTest%7!=0)
    {
        Prime1.add(primeTest); //adds the prime numbers to array
        arrayCounter = arrayCounter +1;
    }
    else
    {
        arrayCounter = arrayCounter + 1;
    }
}

Now back to the main issue, rather than writing "if(primeTest % "prime#" !=0)" I would like to be able to use modulus through the entire Prime1 array and see if all the values do not equal zero... Let me elaborate.
for(int primeTest2 = 101; primeTest2 <= 200; primeTest2++)
{
    for(int arrayCounter2 = 0; arrayCounter2 < Prime1.size(); arrayCounter2++)
    {
        if(primeTest2 % Prime1.get(arrayCounter2) != 0 )
        {
            Prime2.add(primeTest2);
        }
    }
}

//please forgive any missing braces
^^So what happens here is that I take a value starting at 101 and modulus it with the first value of the Prime1 array. As you know, this may give me a false positive because 11 (the first prime number in the array) may still show true even with numbers which are not prime. This is why I need to be able to test a number with all the values in the array to ensure that it cannot be divided by any other prime number (meaning that it is prime).

A: Your method is extremely inefficient, nevertheless, here is how you can fix it:
for (int primeTest2 = 101; primeTest2 <= 200; primeTest2++)
{
    boolean prime = true;
    for (int arrayCounter2 = 0; arrayCounter2 < Prime1.size(); arrayCounter2++)
    {
        if (primeTest2 % Prime1.get(arrayCounter2) == 0)
        {
            prime = false;
            break;
        }
    }
    if (prime)
        Prime2.add(primeTest2);
}

BTW, for the first set of prime numbers, it is sufficient to use 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.

A: Take a boolean and set it to true. If the number can be divided by any of your primes from 8 to 100 without a remainder, than set it to false. If it is still true after testing every number, add the tested number to the Prime2 array, otherwise continue with the next number. Example:
for(int n = 101; n <= 200; n++)
{
    boolean isPrime = true;

    for(Integer p : Prime1)
        if(n % p == 0 )
        {
            isPrime = false;
            break;
        }

    if(isPrime)
            Prime2.add(n);
}

But there are better alorithms out there to check if a number is prime or to calculate alle primes below n. For example the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

Q: Angular json marshalling via $http I am having a very weird problem.  Using $http my response is not getting marshalled correctly into map/object. The data is a map of lists.  The issue is that the element 100110150000000751 has a value from the raw data in the first log "1 group data[".  but after its converted to json it has the value of an empty array.  You can see the image of the "after conversion" log.  This all works fine in chrome with debugger open but not if debugger is closed.  The method is so simple and there is little to no room for race conditions or anything.  I created a little desktop html file with all the same libraries and just calling a function without $http and it works without issue.  Angular 1.4.5   Any help is much appreciated.
transformResponse: function(groupMapResponse){
   console.log("1 group data ["+groupMapResponse+"]");
   var asdfdsafsad = (typeof groupMapResponse === 'string')?JSON.parse(groupMapResponse):groupMapResponse;
   console.log("after conversion:",asdfdsafsad);
   return asdfdsafsad;
}

The console log is:
1 group data [{"1000110150000002801":["1000110020000007753"],"1000110150000002855":["1000110020000009470"],"1000110150000004452":["1000110020000007895"],"1000110150000004362":["1000110020000006355"],"1000110150000004361":["1000110020000010309"],"1000110150000000751":["1000110020000007950"],"1000110150000004412":["1000110020000006353"]}]

A: Turns out the issue was not in marshalling at all.  The object was already linked to a bound object and was later altered but the log message was updated with the bound value.  Anyway...

By Sarah S. '16
In late March, a group of ten Lakeside students embarked on a three week trip to Mastatal, Costa Rica as part of the Advanced Ecological Studies class. Working closely with Rancho Mastatal, an ecologically sustainable permaculture farm located in the heart of the village, students spent most of the first week in country learning about and working on permaculture, fermentation and food preservation, and natural building.
If everyone had to make their own houses, they would be a lot smaller. I imagine very few people in the US know the materials that go into building their homes, and fewer still would know how to build one themselves. One of the things that Rancho Mastatal teaches the people that come to their doors is how to do natural building. The surprising reality is that most people on the planet actually practice natural building. Using a combination of mud, grass, and often times sand they are able to construct for themselves the basic shelter that all humans need.
A couple days ago, we were introduced to Nick. Nick is the resident natural builder at Mastatal and between Nick and Tim, resident apprentices and visitors learn how to do natural building. For us natural building consisted of three things: Getting clay, mixing batches of sand, straw, and clay, and using a method called waddle and dob, which is just a method of applying the sand-straw-clay mixture to the walls. The building we were working on was a food preservation kitchen.
The grey clay comes from a large bin and is the place where face paint comes from. (See pictures for evidence) From there the clay is mixed with straw and sand on a tarp the old fashioned way, with people's feet. Dancing on the mixture commences and slowly the ingredients become one. The mixture is then put in buckets and given to teams on the wall to continue up the wall. It takes forever. I cannot, also, imagine doing it alone. In two hours, we were only able to get about a foot up the wall.
Natural building is a way of building using the surrounding resources to make buildings that suit a need but also have a low impact on and last in accordance with the environment. It's a really interesting process and one that really makes you appreciate bigger homes. Without rebar and cement, our houses at home would be nothing. At El Rancho, however, the buildings are beautifully constructed and airy and spacious. The wall that we helped to build has seen our hands, but the building has seen over 200 hands. It's a community effort. Each natural build house has a story of the hands that touched it and made it happen, which is much more than I can say for any of the buildings at home.

TCU's Brian Howard (44) has started each of the last three weekends to help get his team to Omaha.
Is this the best group of starting pitchers TCU has taken to the College World Series? Jim Schlossnagle looked doubtful.
"Those 2014 and 2015 teams are awful tough to beat," the Horned Frogs' 14th-year head coach said. "You had Preston Morrison, Alex Young, Tyler Alexander starting those games."
Let's rephrase: Is this the best roll a group of TCU starting pitchers has been on going into the College World Series?
Schlossnagle paused. You may be on to something.
"These guys are performing at a high level," he said.
Since the end of the regular season, Jared Janczak, Brian Howard, Mitchell Traver and Nick Lodolo are 7-0 in nine starts with a 1.56 ERA, 14 walks and 70 strikeouts in 63 1/3 innings. They have been consistently strong during the Frogs' run in the Big 12 tournament, Fort Worth Regional and Super Regional.
It's by far their best stretch of the season and a big part of the reason TCU takes an NCAA-tournament ERA of 2.00, fifth best among the 64 teams that began the playoffs, into the start of the College World Series on Sunday.
"We had a good regular season, but we weren't consistent in our starting pitching," Schlossnagle said. "We had that 13-game stretch, but we didn't really pitch consistently through an entire weekend, which is what you have to do to advance."
Since returning from four weeks off because of a shoulder strain, Janczak (9-0, 1.97) has allowed three runs in 22 1/3 innings.
Howard (11-3, 3.95) has pitched a complete game and struck out 26 in 23 innings, winning the clinching games in the regional and super regional.
Traver (4-1, 3.79) has matched his career high with two seven-inning starts, striking out 17 while walking only three.
Lodolo (5-1, 4.28), the freshman left-hander taken 41st in last year's major league draft and TCU's top pitching recruit, has thrown only once since the end of the regular season. But he appeared poised to live up to billing with a strong seven innings in a no-decision against Kansas at the Big 12 tournament.
Since returning from time off due to injury, Janczak (9-0, 1.97) has allowed three runs in 22 1/3 innings.
Janczak and Howard have started each of the last three weekends and lead TCU in innings pitched.
Traver pitched the first two weekends but didn't get a start in the super regionals because of the Janczak- and Howard-led two-game sweep.
Lodolo has been off since May 24, more than three weeks.
No matter. He and Traver apparently remain sharp.
"We had a sim game Tuesday, and both threw exceptionally well," pitching coach Kirk Saarloos said. "Anytime you have a guy that turned down quite a bit of money to come to school and has the talent that Nick Lodolo has and hasn't been used in two weeks, it says a lot for the experience and the success of those three older guys."
The success of the starting pitchers has come while facing three of the most powerful middle orders in college baseball -- Virginia's Adam Haseley and Pavin Smith; Dallas Baptist's 97-homer lineup led by Austin Listi and Matt Duce; and Missouri State's 20-plus-homer twins, Jake Burger and Jeremy Eierman.
Combined, those six hitters were 6-for-27 with two home runs, three RBIs, five walks and nine strikeouts against TCU pitching. Smith, taken seventh overall in the draft on Monday, struck out twice against Janczak after having struck out only nine times all season.
"When the bright lights come on, Brian Howard comes out," catcher Evan Skoug said. "Jared is like Brian. When the lights come on, Jared comes out."
No matter the lineups they face in Omaha, the Frogs' starting pitchers can look back at a track record that got longer and more credible in the past three weeks.
"Getting Jared back gave us more depth, gave us another pitcher that could pitch deep into games," Schlossnagle said. "Traver's pitched the best he has pitched, really, in college the last couple of weeks. We're sitting here, and we haven't thrown a first-rounder. When you can match up and pitch deep into games and save the bullpen, that's what elite baseball and Omaha clubs are made of."

The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presents Virgil Abloh: "Figures of Speech," the first museum exhibition devoted to the work of the genre-bending artist and designer Virgil Abloh (American, b. 1980). Abloh pioneers a practice that cuts across media and connects visual artists, musicians, graphic designers, fashion designers, and architects.
Abloh cultivated an interest in design and music at an early age, finding inspiration in the urban culture of Chicago. While pursuing a master's degree in architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology, he connected with Kanye West and joined West's creative team to work on album covers, concert designs, and merchandising. In 2013, Abloh founded his stand-alone fashion brand Off-White™ in Milan, Italy, and in 2018 assumed the position of Men's Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton.
Set in an immersive space designed by Samir Bantal, the Director of AMO, the research studio of Rem Koolhaas's renowned architectural firm OMA, the MCA exhibition will offer an in-depth look at defining highlights of Abloh's career including a program of cross-disciplinary offerings that will mirror the artist's range of interests across music, fashion, architecture, and design.
The exhibition is organized by Michael Darling, James W. Alsdorf Chief Curator, with curatorial assistance from Chanon Kenji Praepipatmongkol, Marjorie Susman Curatorial Fellow. It is presented in the Griffin Galleries of Art on the museum's fourth floor.

Campus restless as pandemic waxes and wanes
Students and others grow impatient with restrictions.
By Mark Alden Branch '86 | Mar/Apr 2022
Mark Alden Branch '86
Students were asked to avoid eating at off-campus restaurants—including outdoor dining—until February 7. View full image
As Yale nears the beginning of the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the latest wave of cases seemed to be waning in early February. Although the university has avoided disaster, the new semester brought with it a new frustration with campus COVID restrictions.
Near the end of the fall semester, Yale had been at a yellow alert level: masking, limits on visitors to campus, and some restrictions on in-person gatherings. But on December 19, a spike of cases and the emerging omicron variant caused university officials to move to the more restrictive orange level. With just three days of finals remaining in Yale College, exams were moved online, and dining halls switched to grab-and-go. The start of the spring semester was pushed back from January 18 to January 25. (To make up the time, spring break was shortened from two weeks to one week.) All classes were held remotely through February 4.
Yale's rules caught the attention of national media, in particular the instruction to Yale College students to "avoid local businesses, restaurants, and bars, including outdoor drinking or dining" during the initial quarantine period through February 7. Some thought the restriction on outdoor dining especially egregious. (Actually, the question is pretty much moot in New Haven in midwinter.)
Questions also came from inside Yale. In Yale Daily News articles, students discussed the strains of returning to remote learning, the loneliness of quarantine, and restrictions on gatherings. First-year Lawrence Tang '25 told the News that Zoom classes felt like "a very expensive podcast." In an op-ed, sophomore Aaron Schorr '24 protested "an abrupt backwards lurch reminiscent of the uncertain early days of the pandemic" and called for an end to restrictions that are "smothering all of campus life."
Fortunately, things soon took a turn for the better. Dining halls were reopened for in-person dining on January 31. Just before our press date, vice provost and COVID-19 coordinator Stephanie Spangler announced a return to the yellow alert level starting on February 7. This means that most events and gatherings can again take place without prior approval (although still with masking, vaccination, and capacity limits); visitors can come to campus with a university host; and fans from outside Yale can attend athletic events.
With cases in Connecticut on their way back to pre-omicron levels, prospects for the spring looked promising. But after two roller-coaster years, we know how much can happen between our deadline and your reading the magazine—so stay tuned.

Q: How to maintain Iterator using Java I Have Iterator instance. I have to get the size of this. Here I am getting the size of entries. Mean size is 8. Suppose I want to show only 5 values within this iterator. How can I implement this one?
Document<Feed> feeddoc = resp.getDocument();
List<Entry> entries = feeddoc.getRoot().getEntries();
entries = feeddoc.getRoot().getEntries();
Iterator<Entry> iterator = entries.iterator();
int size = entries.size();  //8

while (iterator.hasNext()) {

    /* here I am getting 8 values means iterating 8 times but I want to iterate only 5 times */
    Entry next = iterator.next();
    userDetailsVos = new UserDetailsVos();
    userDetailsVos.setTitle(next.getTitle());

    final IRI temp = next.getLinkResolvedHref("alternate");
    userDetailsVos.setUrl(temp.toString());
    userDetailsVos.setTime(next.getContentElement().getFirstChild().getElements().get(5).getText());

    System.out.println("(1)--" + next.getTitle());
    System.out.println("(2)--" + next.getContentElement().getFirstChild().getElements().get(5).getText());
    System.out.println("url: " + temp.toString());
}

A: You can tell the loop to iterate over at most 5 elements :
     for (int i = 0; i < 5 && iterator.hasNext(); i++) {
         ....

This would iterate over at most 5 elements, but if there are less than 5, it would iterate only as long as the iterator has a next element.

A: You can use List#subLists
for example
entries.subList(0,4).iterator();

It will only give 0 to 4 th element of the List

A: Use a counter variable like:
int count = 0;
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
    if (count == 5)
        break;
    count ++;
    //existing logic...

April 12, 2017 April 12, 2017 Situating Science
Grad Student Research Profile: Urmila Unnikrishnan
Welcome to our new grad student profile! We are excited to highlight the research of grad students working in science and technology studies, history of science, and philosophy of science. Know someone whose work you'd like to support? Email us!
Urmila Unnikrishnan is a graduate student at the Zakir Husain Centre for Educational Studies in Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Working under the supervision of Professor Dhruv Raina – a CosmoLocal partner – Urmila researches "popular science literature in Malayalam (a language in South India) published during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries" and investigates how science is situated "in the social imaginary of the region." The main questions motivating her work centre on "history and sociology of science in colonial context, vernacular science, science popularisation and science and culture."
The path to her current graduate work has not been a linear one, though she has consistently pursued an interest in sociology. Urmila began by doing both her BA and MA degrees in sociology. She remarks that "after my masters at the Centre for Study of Social Systems at JNU, I joined for M Phil in Sociology at the same centre. After a couple of months of coursework, I realised that I'd lost the excitement in sociology, or sociology at that centre."
She decided to switch to the Zakir Husain Centre for Educational Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University. The Centre has an interdisciplinary focus, and Urmila was able to do a variety of courses on "economics of education, history of education, psychology of education and philosophy of science. I also audited a course on science and society." The "year of rigorous course work at the centre broadened my horizons" and she found that she "was most excited by history and sociology of science. That was my initiation to the field."
As she wrote her M Phil thesis on the social history of ethnomathematics, she contemplated "work on indigenous mathematics in Kerala, and as part of the archival work for that, I realised that Malayalam had a rich treasure of popular science literature mostly in periodicals which not many had looked into before." She began further exploring the history of science popularization in India, moving away from the ethnomathematics of her M Phil thesis research to her current studies.
Urmila identifies a couple of aspects of her work that she particularly enjoys. She notes, "Like many others in our age, I was brought up in a knowledge environment where science and mathematics are deemed as ultimate forms of knowledge. But when I started reading history and sociology of science, every new reading was kind of a blow on these preconceived notions." However, this unlearning has turned out to be "the most enjoyable part of working on sociology and history of science."
She has also come to appreciate the task of archival work: "being a sociology student I had no idea of archival work before I started working on the current theme. Although it was a bit upsetting in the beginning, I started to enjoy it as I went deeper into it and I love it now."
We asked Urmila how she relates her research to the broader topic of "cosmopolitanism and the local. She notes that "it's difficult to delineate this relation with cosmopolitanism and the local. I believe that given my location as a scholar working on the history of science in a post-colonial context, and as an individual deeply embedded in that context, all the questions I ask and my methodology is deeply entangled with the questions of cosmopolitanism and the local in the history of science." Thank you, Urmila, for speaking with us! We wish you all the best in your exciting research.

Lunch Box Learners is a reading program that brings elementary students and volunteers together during the lunch hour once each week. Throughout the school year, volunteers go to a local school on a specific day of the week to work with a struggling student. They may read a book, work on homework or play educational games.
Volunteers will be trained through United Way with support from their partner agencies. Part of the training includes reading and learning strategies and ways to forge quality relationships with children.
"Expectations for all students from the State and National level are higher and more rigorous than ever before. These standards have been raised so that all students are prepared for the competitive global economy. As a result, our kids need you more than ever, and Lunch Box Learners is a fantastic way to pitch in," said Charles Schwedler, Bullock Creek Schools superintendent. "Every child who becomes a better reader becomes a better learner and better learners offer all of us a brighter future. Thanks for considering this very worthy cause!"
This exciting program is provided free of charge and complements school curriculum and strategic plans for improved student achievement. Please consider serving as a Lunch Box Learner volunteer. Where else can one hour have such an important impact?
Training sessions will be held in the coming weeks with mentoring beginning in October. For more information or to sign-up to be a Lunch Box Learner event, contact Denise Blasy at United Way of Midland County at (989) 631-3670 or visit www.liveunitedmidland.org.

I've always been a scifi/fantasy fan, and The Ghatti's Tale: Book One: Finders-Seekers, by Gayle Greeno, has a little of both. Mostly fantasy at the time of the story, but scifi in the past.
Over 200 years ago, colonists from earth came to the planet Methuen. Most of their technology has been mysteriously destroyed over the years. During their time on the planet they have developed a new ability – telepathic bonding with the native ghatti.
The ghatti are race of large cats on Methuen who can speak telepathically to humans, if they choose to bond with them. I wish I could talk to my cats, in any way at all. Would make my life so much easier!
These human-ghatti Bondmates settle disputes using their shared ability to truth-read people's minds and emotions. However, not everyone may appreciate this involvement in their affairs. In The Ghatti's Tale, telepathic humans and ghatti are being murdered. One pair of Bondmates, a woman Doyce, and her ghatta Khar'pern, have been chosen to find out who is doing this and why. Doyce has a special interest in the murders, as her intended fiance has become one of the victims.
I was thoroughly engrossed in this story and the characters. This is the first book in the three book Ghatti's Tale series. Book 2 is MindSpeakers' Call and Book 3 is Exiles' Return. And there is a followup 2 books series that continues the story – Ghattens Gambit, made up of Sunderlies Seeking and The Farthest Seeking. So, if you're like me, and after the first book you have to know what happens next, there's plenty more to read!

Ex-wife of alleged match-fixing kingpin Dan Tan gets 2 months' jail for lying to CPIB officer

SINGAPORE - The third wife of alleged match-fixing kingpin Dan Tan Seet Eng was on Monday (June 20) given two months' jail for lying to an anti-graft investigator.
Guan Enmei, 41, was found guilty last Monday (June 13) of lying to the investigator about two of Tan's laptops, which she was trying to hide from the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB).
Guan had said during an interview at the bureau's office on June 6, 2013, that she had left her home with only a handbag and had not brought along a paper bag containing the laptops. But this was a lie.
District Judge Lee Poh Choo, who presided over Guan's two-day trial in May, said last week that Guan must have known the laptops contained incriminating evidence and wanted to hide them from the CPIB.
In her sentencing remarks on Monday, the judge said that lying to a law enforcement officer cannot be treated lightly, especially in this case, where Guan knew the enormity of the international match-fixing saga.
Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Jasmin Kaur applied for her sentence to be deferred, pending an appeal by the prosecution.
Judge Lee set Guan's bail at $20,000.
The DPP had asked for four to six months' jail, saying Guan's action was "akin to an attempt to obstruct the course of justice".
Defence lawyer Foo Cheow Ming, meanwhile, said the false information Guan gave was relatively minor and had minimal impact, if any, on CPIB's investigations into Tan's alleged match-fixing activities. He had asked for a conditional discharge or a fine.
The court had heard that on June 6 that year, Tan was asked to report to CPIB's office. Before he left home, he told Guan to take two laptops, place them in a bag and hand it back to him after he was released.
That afternoon, Guan was herself told to report to the bureau.
Her usual driver, who was unable to pick her up from her home, arranged for another driver to do so.
When the driver arrived at her home, Guan placed a white Dior paper bag in the back seat before getting into the front passenger seat.
She phoned Tan's alleged accomplice, Eric Ding Si Yang, for advice about the two laptops in the bag while on the way to the bureau.
On arriving at CPIB's carpark, she met her usual driver and asked him to hold on to the bag for her until she came out of the building. He then waited with it at a nearby coffee shop, where it was later seized by anti-graft investigators.
When questioned about the bag and laptops by a CPIB investigator, Guan insisted she did not know anything about them.
The maximum penalty for giving false or misleading information to a CPIB investigator is a $10,000 fine and one year's jail.
Tan, described by Interpol as "the leader of the world's most notorious match-fixing syndicate", is being detained without trial under the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act for the second time. Now 52, he was first arrested on Sept 16, 2013.
Guan was Tan's third wife. She divorced him in July last year.

Eamonn Holmes admits he doesn't know how to tie shoelaces because his mother never taught him
Eamonn Holmes has candidly confessed he doesn't know how to tie shoelaces.
The 61 year old This Morning presenter admitted he regrets not learning the skill and, as a result, only wears slip-on shoes.
Eamonn, who recently said he and wife Ruth Langsford have been getting on with their lives after being replaced on This Morning, made the reveal as he confessed it was due to him being spoiled as a child.
The Irish star explained how his mum Josie always tied his laces growing up, meaning he never learned.
Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford 'have been told to keep quiet about This Morning axe to avoid losing more work'

He made the revelation when he was asked which life skill he wished he had mastered by the Daily Star Sunday, to which he said: "Shoe laces".
Eamonn, who has reportedly been told to keep quiet about This Morning axe or risk losing more work, continued: "As a result, I only wear slip-ons.
"Irish mammies have a lot to answer for… doing everything for their sons in particular."
The TV star also confessed he relies on his beloved wife Ruth, 60, for a number of things.
Eamonn gushed over his wife of ten years as he said: "She loves being domestic and I've never seen anyone with the energy she has.
"She's nobody's pushover. She is the boss in our relationship."
Meanwhile, Ruth previously revealed she enjoys looking after her husband as she said: "Having respect is really important in a relationship. It's nice to be a couple, but we are individual people.
"Eamonn and I can have big rows and argue, then 10 minutes later we're laughing about something.
"It has been a long and happy relationship, but we have our moments."
The couple were recently axed from their Friday hosting slots on This Morning and replaced by Alison Hammond, who reportedly initially turned down the gig, and Dermot O'Leary.
Eamonn and Ruth will still appear on This Morning, but will host the show during the summer holidays and other breaks.
The news was announced by ITV in November as Managing Director, ITV Daytime, Emma Gormley said: "We are delighted that Alison and Dermot will be joining the main presenting family on This Morning.
"Alison has provided some of the most memorable moments on the show in recent times and teamed up with the brilliant Dermot we think they are a great pairing in addition to our fabulous presenting line up of Phillip and Holly and Eamonn & Ruth."

Denver's Still the Number-One City for Millennials Whether You Like It or Not
Denver Public Schools committee exploring possible bond, mill levy ballot initiatives
Melanie Asmar
Melanie Asmar | March 5, 2012 | 2:59pm
Denver Public Schools is exploring whether to ask taxpayers to approve more moolah. The district has convened a giant committee of community members (72 of them!), including some familiar DPS faces, tasked with recommending whether DPS should -- in the face of deep state funding cuts -- ask voters in November to authorize a bond issue, a mill levy override or both.
The group's official name is the Community Planning Advisory Committee, or CPAC. It's being chaired by Kendra Black, the University of Colorado at Denver's state coordinator for National History Day; Terrance Carroll, former speaker of the Colorado House; Bob Deibel, owner of furniture retailer OfficeScapes; and Lisa Flores, senior program manager at the Gates Family Foundation.
Here's how DPS illustrated the committee's process in a slide called "Three Stages of the CPAC Planning Process," which was presented at its second meeting on Feburary 29.
It's unlikely that the process will be quite as smiley, however. The committee will have to make some tough decisions about what the district needs, though DPS is making suggestions. Below, check out a slide from another presentation that explains what DPS would like to do with money raised through a mill levy override, or MLO. DPS has historically used mill levy money to pay for thing such as teachers, textbooks and technology, while bond money must be used to buy land, build new schools or renovate existing ones. Voters last approved a bond issuance in 2008. The $454 million bond was used to renovate North High and build the Evie Garrett Dennis campus in Green Valley Ranch, among other projects. (It should be noted that Dennis, the former DPS superintendent for whom the campus is named, is on the new committee.)
This time around, DPS may concentrate on expanding capacity in Stapleton, Green Valley Ranch and Lowry. According to yet another slide, those regions are expected to account for 60 percent of the district's growth over the next five years. DPS estimates its enrollment will increase from 81,441 in 2011 to 86,446 in 2016.
The 72-member committee has divided into four subcommittees: facility maintenance, technology, new schools capacity and academic programs. After two meetings of the full group, the first subcommittee -- facility maintenance -- will meet tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. at South High School. The committee members will continue to meet until June, at which point the full group will make a recommendation to the school board.
See a list of committee members below.

What To Know About Divorce After 50
Divorce (Dissolution)
Life changes are expected as you grow older. If you have kids, they grow up and move out of the house. Spouses retire from careers. Things aren't as they once were, and you may realize you no longer find yourself happy with the person you married.
Looking ahead, you want to spend the next phase of your life happy and fulfilled. Sometimes, divorce is necessary if the relationship no longer works. The idea of dividing your assets and the life you built together can seem daunting. There may not be child custody or child support issues to contend with, but so-called 'grey divorce' after 50 has its own complexities, emotional and financial.
The skilled and compassionate lawyers at Cullen & Murphy aim to ease the emotional toll of a California grey divorce while ensuring that your rights are protected. A large aspect of this is the division of assets and spousal support. Here are three important factors if you are divorcing later in life:
Spousal support/alimony — Many people over 50 have built successful careers at this point, which leads to a complex compensation calculation. Determining the exact amount of compensation needs to account for bonuses, vehicle allowances, stock holdings and other income.
Dividing pensions and retirement accounts — Unless you and your spouse had a prenuptial agreement, pensions and retirement accounts are typically considered community property. This can be one of a couple's largest assets and proper care needs to be taken in dividing its worth.
Inheritance — Did one spouse use inheritance (separate property) toward purchasing a house or similar community property? This commingling can make distinguishing separate property and community property very complicated, but our experienced divorce attorneys can help.

CFS Ireland was founded in Dublin in 2004 by Shane Brennan, Mark Haskins and Justin Prendergast. From the start we wanted to ensure that each of our clients, from a single individual to an SME or a corporation, would receive the very best, truly impartial advice on pensions, savings, investments, mortgages and life & illness cover.
Our advice is built upon our expertise, our years of experience, and our focus on extensively researching and reviewing the market to identify opportunities for each of our clients. As truly independent and impartial Authorised Financial Advisors, we are duty bound to offer clients the products and solutions that best fits their needs, not ours or those of financial institutions and suppliers.
We now advise on assets of more than €100 million across a broad spectrum of over 1,200 personal and corporate clients – but our dedication to offering the best advice to every client remains the same as when we started out.
If you'd like to know more about the expert, impartial financial advice we offer, just get in touch.
We have a solid reputation with other professionals in accountancy, law and general insurance, who have successfully referred many clients to us over the years. We're justifiably proud of this hard-won reputation and always look to build on it by ensuring that referred clients get the maximum benefit from our advice and financial planning. We have a number of formal referral agreements already in place – if you feel that your firm and clients would benefit from a referral arrangement we'd love to hear from you.


Skate Ontario is pleased to announce three (3) training days for Pre-Juvenile and Juvenile plus STAR 5 to Gold level skaters throughout the province in the month of January. Additionally we have four (4) training days for Pre-Juvenile, Juvenile and STAR 5 to Gold level skaters in February 2019.
The purpose of a training day is to create an efficient atmosphere for athletes to gain experience and use in their own training environments. Building a solid foundation, basics, and the importance of fitness are other key components included in the day. Throughout the on-ice sessions, skaters will be under the supervision of their respective coach. Skate Ontario sport staff will outline the parameters for each training day and a national level judge will be present for on-ice sessions and will conduct a portion of the off-ice workshops.
Please note each training day is limited to a maximum of 35 skaters, minimum of 30 skaters (2 groups).
A coach must be present for all or part of the on-ice sessions.
Should you have any questions, please contact Patricia Glenwright, Coordinator for Sport Development at 416-564-7297 or pglenwright@skateontario.org.
