I realize the last blog post was on the situation in Japan and while I do not want to be exhaustive, I believe this terrible disaster has great potential to have devastating effects world wide. While the country is still under strict media attention, we know this will fade, as did Haiti and the BP oil spill. In the coming weeks and months it will be important to remember what has happened and realize that the country and people will be hurting for a long time. It will be interesting, however, to see if the media attention will continue because of the nuclear fall out threat.
The latest count I could find reports more than 8000 dead and nearly 13,000 people still missing following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Keep in mind these deaths have occurred, mostly, due to the actual quake and tsunami. We have yet to see how many people will be fatally affected by this disaster as a result or radiation exposure, hunger, sickness, etc.
I was reading an article this morning that reported crops and water supply in the surrounding area have been contaminated by nuclear fallout. Also, cows at a diary farm had been contaminated. All of these instances render the material unusable for any sort of consumption. In addition, rain and dust from the area have been tainted and it is not yet known how far the radiation will travel via these two channels.
Another area of concern as far as food contamination is concerned, is the seafood Japan produces every year. Seafood export is a $1.3 billion dollar industry annually and much of that seafood ends up on store shelves across the world, bringing this scare closer to home than many would like to think.
This morning I received an email from my mom who has a friend living in Sendai, Japan right now. She reported a feeling of peace as she watches the people of Japan come together in this time of disaster. She said there is a feeling of uncertainty, but at the same time, one of being united and coming together as neighbors.
As Kasey mentioned in her blog post, are nuclear power plants worth their cost? In times like these, the entire stability of the eco-system of Japan is under threat. Soon, the effects and threat could be a lot more wide spread. Maybe then the world will begin to ask the same question. While disasters like the one in Japan are devastating, I can't hope that something positive will come from it. If it could possibly be a nuclear free world, It could lead to a much more stable, sustainable world.

Insider Business Jamie Oliver's UK restaurants fall victim to high street woes
Jamie Oliver's UK restaurants fall victim to high street woes
British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's restaurant chain went into administration on Tuesday, threatening around 1,300 jobs in the latest blow for Britain's high street.
Oliver, 43, a well-known figure in Britain and beyond for his popular TV shows and top-selling cookery books, founded his Jamie's Italian brand of high street restaurants in 2008.
"I am deeply saddened by this outcome and would like to thank all of the staff and our suppliers who have put their hearts and souls into this business for over a decade," he said.
About 1,300 jobs across 25 branches will be put at risk by the administration, a form of protection from creditors. The Jamie Oliver Group said it had appointed KPMG as administrators.
Barbecoa, a steakhouse and Jamie Oliver's Diner are also hit by the administration, which includes the London branch of Fifteen – Oliver's first restaurant which he founded in 2002, a social enterprise designed to train young unemployed people.
Alin Ciocan, 28, was preparing to start his shift at London Victoria's branch of Jamie's Italian when he heard that the branch would not be opening and he had lost his job.
"I didn't believe it at first," he said, adding he was unsure if he would stay in the sector.
"I really, really enjoy serving people, but it's a strange time at the moment, and all the casual dining and high street restaurants are in decline."
Oliver's chain is the latest victim of a brutal trading environment on Britain's high streets.
In March, Boparan Restaurant Group (BRG) said it planned to close more than a third of its Giraffe and Ed's Easy Diner outlets, while Carluccio's, Prezzo, Strada and Gourmet Burger Kitchen closed branches in 2018.
Changing customer habits have seen a rise in appetite for takeaway apps such as Just Eat and Deliveroo and favouring faster food service over high-street staples such as Jamie's.
There were almost 5 million fewer trips to full service restaurants in the 12 weeks to March 24, compared with a year earlier, data from Kantar showed. Sales in such restaurants declined by 6% in the year to March 24.
Oliver, who started cooking at the age of eight at his parents' pub in Essex, northeast of London, was discovered by BBC television while working as a chef in London's River Cafe in the late 1990s.
His "Naked Chef" show, which was broadcast in dozens of countries, made him a household name at the age of 21.
His recruitment of youngsters for Fifteen won him an honour from Queen Elizabeth in 2003, and he used his reputation to put pressure on politicians to combat growing child obesity problems by campaigning for healthier school meals.
Fifteen Cornwall, operated under a franchise, is unaffected, as is Jamie Oliver's international restaurant franchise business.

HIKING HAPPENINGS June 2008
Beyond Castle Valley: The Amphitheater Loop Trail
by Marcia Hafner
If you are looking for a tranquil, less traveled desert trail with great views of the Colorado River and its surrounding topography, then the Amphitheater Loop Trail is for you. A description of this new trail is found only in the most up to date guidebooks and maps. Consequently, even many local hikers are not aware of something special that was added to the Bureau of Land Management trail system in 2004. To further its secrecy there's no trailhead signage on the highway, and would-be hikers pass it on by with no clue of its unique existence.
To get to The Amphitheater Loop Trail from Moab, drive north two miles on Highway 191 and turn right on to Highway 128. Continue 23 miles and turn left into the Hittle Bottom Campground. The trailhead is immediately to your left. Hittle Bottom has twelve primitive campsites, some of them canopied by old cottonwood trees. Amenities include vault toilets, a picnic area and a paved boat ramp that receives steady use. This spot is more popular with boaters than hikers.
All that remains of the early 1900s homestead at Hittle Bottom is a rock-walled dugout that was originally owned by the mail carrier Tom Kitsen and his family. In those more primitive times, travel from Cisco to the burgeoning townsite of Castleton, on the edge of the mountains past Castle Valley, was a slow, arduous trek. Tom Kitsen carried the mail from the post office at Cisco to Castleton and would stop at his home, the mid-way point between the two towns, to change his team of horses. The name Hittle refers to the family who took over the homestead from the Kitsens.
A hidden gravesite south of the dugout commemorates Tom's mother. Evidently a normal every day chore of taking water from the river ended in disaster when she fell in, caught pneumonia and died.
The wide valley along the Colorado River from Castle Valley to just past Hittle Bottom is known as "The Richardson Amphitheater," and the Amphitheater Loop Trail goes through the heart of it. It's a 2.7 mile hike that is rated moderate in difficulty. Within the semi-circular contours of cliffhanger walls, it wanders through a natural amphitheater that is layered with Moenkopi and Cutler sandstone.
Dr. Sylvester Richardson established a small settlement on the river in 1886 at the mouth of Professor Creek, a reference to one of Richardson's many previous occupations. Mary Jane Canyon, which is formed by Professor Creek, is named after Richardson's wife. In 1890 a section of Emery County was broken off to become Grand County and Richardson was appointed to serve on the newly created county commission.
Richardson, a multi-faceted and somewhat eccentric pioneer, built the first post office and store in the region, with the later addition of a school and hotel. He brought supplies in by boat to serve the farmers and ranchers in the valley as well as for prospectors living up in the nearby La Sal Mountains. The town of Richardson was not connected by road to Moab or points east until a toll road was opened in 1902 using a ferry to cross the river at Dewey.
Starting at the informational signs this, "for-hikers-only" trail immediately crosses the highway. After a short distance on a sandy trail through the stubby plant growth of greasewood, it splits and the loop begins. The suggested direction of travel is to go right to get better views of Castle Rock, the Priest and Nuns formation and the backside of Fisher Towers. Soon, you will be so close you can touch two distinctive rock formations that have an engorged, pregnant look. At that point, there is an optional left hand turn to a viewpoint of the river corridor and Hittle Bottom. Since it's only 150 feet out of the way, why not take it and enjoy the view?
When the trail drops down into the wash be mindful to follow those cairns because it's easy to get distracted and wander off the trail. The entire basin along the wash collects moisture so it comes as no surprise that the majority of the wildflowers are found here, most noticeably the explosive orange-red Indian paintbrush. Extra wetness also encourages plenty of thick, healthy rabbitbrush and in the fall this wash will be golden in its autumn rush of colors.
As you walk toward the head of the drainage, make sure you keep a careful eye on the cairns. It seems so natural to just continue following the footprints up the wash, but eventually it bumps up against a stonewall. Then in frustration you'll be trudging back to find the cairn that directs you back on to the trail and out of the wash. The 250-foot climb up a steep gully to the top of a plateau at the base of the cliffs is the most strenuous and difficult part of the trail.
Up on the mesa there is the blessed relief of easier, flatter walking through Mormon tea and blackbrush with rewarding views of long stretches of the Colorado River. Then it is an up and down stroll crossing different desert habitat zones from the drier south facing grassy uplands to a lower, north facing, bottom-shaded forest of over-sized junipers with an appealing ground cover of lush green grass. The final descent goes back to the beginning of the loop and the short, sandy walk to the trailhead.
The newness and obscurity of the Amphitheater Loop Trail have kept the numbers of hikers in check -- the last time I walked this trail I had it all to myself. After distancing myself from the highway, it does feel like an empty outdoor amphitheater with only the prevailing sounds of nature -- from the gentle breeze that rattled the rabbitbrush -- to the bird song of black-throated sparrows and house finches that filled the air while I walked and soaked in the amazing scenery.
Biological Soil Crust (aka)
Cryptos (krip' tose):
The surface of Moab's desert is held together by a thin skin of living organisms known as cryptobiotic soil or cryptos. It has a lumpy black appearance, is very fragile, and takes decades to heal when it has been damaged. This soil is a critical part of the survival of the desert. The cryptobiotic organisms help to stabilize the soil, hold moisture, and provide protection for germination of the seeds of other plants. Without it the dry areas of the west would be much different. Although some disturbance is normal and helps the soil to capture moisture, excessive disturbance by hooves, bicycle tires and hiking boots has been shown to destroy the cryptobiotic organisms and their contribution to the soil. When you walk around Moab avoid crushing the cryptos. Stay on trails, walk in washes, hop from stone to stone. Whatever it takes, don't crunch the cryptos unless you absolutely have to!

Medienkunst/Mediengestaltung (Media Art and Design) M.F.A.
Creativity, design and experimentation – open to current trends, but also with a view to the future: that is the philosophy of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar's Master's degree course in Medienkunst/Mediengestaltung (Media Art and Design). The tuition covers organisation and technology, as well as developing creative, analytical and critical skills. The combination of these disparate elements forms the main focus of the course, as it is the basic prerequisite for creative professional work in the media – either freelance or for a company. The primary goal of the course is to develop designers of strong character who will be able to enrich, and indeed determine the everyday media environment of the future with their practical knowledge and artistic creativity.
Course Contents: What Are My Study Options?
The search for a personal signature and form of expression is one of the essential aims of the Master's degree course in Media Art and Design. You will build on and expand the basic knowledge you have acquired from your previous university education or professional experience, bringing your creative potential to full fruition. Once you have decided on your specialist subject in art and design from the individual core subjects of the various chairs, you will have the opportunity to work on it more intensively on a project-oriented and interdisciplinary basis. You can also integrate further modules from the university's other degree courses into your personal study programme.
Overview: How is the Course Structured?
The first three semesters comprise one project module in artistic design, two specialist modules from the degree course in Media Art and Design and one academic module, plus three further elective modules. The fourth semester is devoted to the Master's thesis. You are also recommended to study abroad for part of the degree programme, especially if you did not previously spend a semester abroad as part of your Bachelor's degree course. The Faculty has contacts with a large number of notable international partner universities for this purpose.
The standard study period for the Master's degree course in Media Art and Design is four semesters. Upon completion and defence of the Master's thesis, students are awarded the academic degree of »Master of Fine Arts« by the Faculty of Art and Design.
My Degree: How Can It Help Me?
The English-language Master's degree course in Media Art and Design (MAD) is structured along the same lines as the standard Master's degree course in Media Art and Design.
The standard study period for the English-language Master's degree course in Media Art and Design (MAD) is four semesters/two years. The curriculum gives you a short overview of the course structure.

Whether you're considering to purchase or sell a home, choosing a real estate professional is a critical step in the process. According to a 2008 J.D. Power and Associates study, both home buyers and sellers considered having the right sales associate to be the key factor when it came to their overall satisfaction.
Before you make that initial contact with a professional, who will help guide you through what can be an emotional and sometimes complicated transaction, chances are you've already done quite a bit of homework on your own, much of it on the Web. The same J.D. Power study also found that 68% of buyers and 61% of sellers use the Web for help with research and marketing concerns.
What questions should you ask when evaluating an agent? While there are no hard and fast rules, your two main goals should be to determine an agent's qualifications to assist you, and to establish a comfort level with the person who will potentially be handling one of the biggest financial transactions of your life.
What's your approach to helping buyers / sellers?
What special programs do you offer for the kind of home (historic home, luxury property, etc.) that I'm looking to purchase / sell?
How will you help me find properties in the neighborhood(s) I'm considering?

8 CONTESTANTS, 56 MOVIES, 121 HOURS, THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDÒ ON THE LINE

Netflix Movie Watching World Championship to
Take Place in Times Square from October 2-7
'The Quest for the Popcorn Bowl'
LOS GATOS, Calif., September 15, 2008 – Their eyes may be glued to the screen, but all eyes will be on the eight competitors who will participate in the Netflix Movie Watching World Championship: The Quest for the Popcorn Bowl. Hosted by Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX), the world's largest online movie rental service, the grueling movie watching marathon will begin on October 2nd in New York's Times Square and is expected to last until a new Guinness World Record®, for most consecutive hours spent watching movies, is set five days later on October 7th.
At stake is the undeniable notoriety associated with holding the title of world champion, a $10,000 cash prize, a lifetime subscription to Netflix and the first-ever Popcorn Bowl trophy.
Featuring some of the world's most accomplished endurance enthusiasts, the Netflix Movie Watching World Championship challenges contestants to watch a continuous run of movies in an effort to eclipse the existing world record of 120 hours and 23 minutes held by Ashish Sharma of Mathura, India. Mr. Sharma will be on hand to defend his title. Netflix will also give everyday people a chance to participate by inviting the submission of video auditions at www.facebook.com (keyword search: Netflix Movie Watching World Championship). Additional information, including contest rules and other mesmerizing tidbits, can also be found there.
The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time with competitors assuming their positions in the Netflix Movie Watching Arena, a plexi-glass living room in the center of New York's Times Square. Gawkers and passersby will have ample opportunity to cheer on or watch in wonderment as each competitor creatively and, towards the finale, desperately attempts to stave off sleep.
"The Netflix Movie Watching World Championship is a showcase for die-hard movie buffs who possess incredible focus and discipline," said Leslie Kilgore, chief marketing officer for Netflix. "It combines the love of movies with the thrill of competition at the crossroads of the world."
Said Mr. Sharma, the brash, current Guinness World Record holder: "I am the one who is going to win and India will retain this world record. I will put the fire in the heart of my competitors."
The field of movie watchers includes record holders, as well as rookies to marathon movie watching. The competitors include:
· Mr. Sharma, who watched movies for 120 hours and 23 minutes in June in Mathura, India, and is traveling to New York for the event.
· Former three-time movie marathon record holder Claudia Wavra of Germany who will attempt to reclaim the title she lost to Mr. Sharma in June.
* Suresh Joachim, a Canadian of Sri Lankan descent, who holds 32 Guinness World Records. Mr. Joachim is an endurance champion whose records include television viewing (69 hours, 48 minutes), dancing (100 hours), radio dj-ing (120 hours), and ironing (55 hours, 5 minutes), among other disciplines.
· Cheryl Jones of Portland, Ore. who was a part of the team of Netflix members who broke the Guinness World Record for continuous movie watching in 2003.
· Dallas movie buff Jeff Jones who won $250,000 on the movie edition of the popular game show series "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" in 2007.
· New York-based competitive eating champion, Crazy Legs Conti, who also happens to be a cinephile with a penchant for '80s films, will join the ranks of endurance enthusiasts for a shot at the title.
Guinness World Records rules require the contestants to watch films non-stop without averting their eyes from the screen. Competitors will be given 10 minutes between each movie, or approximately every two hours, to refresh themselves. Eating, drinking, standing and stretching are allowed as long as eyes are on the screen. Gourmet, chef crafted popcorn will be provided by Dale and Thomas Popcorn (www.daleandthomas.com) throughout the event. Medical professionals will monitor the contestants' conditions throughout the event and assess if contestants are truly "watching" or are simply staring blankly at the screen.

IMMINENCE Is on a Ghostly Path in Video for New Single "Ghost"
IMMINENCE—vocalist and violinist Eddie Berg, guitarists Harald Barrett and Alex Arnoldsson, drummer Peter Hanström, and bass player Christian Höijer—has released the video for their new single "Ghost," a psychedelic and supernatural cinematic experience that flirts with the occult and explores the darkest corners of the mind.
"Ghost" follows "Heaven In Hiding," which instantly became the fastest growing release in the band's history, an accolade previously held by the May 2021-released track "Temptation." Once again, the group displays its unrestrained, diverse, and dynamic approach with "'Ghost."
Director Pavel Trebukhin and IMMINENCE have invested more time and effort than ever on the video production, ensuring the viewer experiences a completely new level of artistic storytelling by continuing to raise the bar for themselves.
The new single is a hard-hitting fireball, mixing influences that haven't been heard from the band since their breakthrough 2015 single "The Sickness." It also features an unmistakable violin performance by singerBerg.
"'Ghost' is a perfect example of how the creative flow in Imminence just knows no boundaries," says Barrett. "We don't follow trends or try to fit our art into a format; rather, we're always eager to explore the unexpected."
The new single was recorded, mixed, and mastered in Sweden by Henrik Udd, an award-winning producer that has worked on some of the most critically acclaimed albums by acts such as Architects, Bring Me the Horizon, and At the Gates.

Apple adds yet another title: Largest dividend payer in S&P 500
The company raised its dividend by 10.6% to $2.08.
By Joseph Ciolli, Bloomberg 28 Apr 2015 00:21
The world's biggest company just became the biggest source of dividends in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Apple raised its dividend by 10.6% to $2.08, putting it on the hook for about $12.1 billion in annual payments, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and S&P. That eclipses the $11.6 billion sent out in dividends each year by Exxon Mobil, the previous title holder.
Three years after restoring its dividend, Apple has become a company known on Wall Street as much for bequeathing cash to investors as it is for its iconic devices. The dividend boost was announced as part of an expansion in its capital return program to $200 billion, including $140 billion in buybacks.
"It speaks to the success of the brand and their product that they're generating so much cash," Peter Jankovskis, who helps oversee $1.9 billion as co-chief investment officer of Lisle, Illinois-based OakBrook Investments LLC, said by phone. "They still have ample cash to continue growing the company and researching and releasing new products."
On an annual basis, Apple's dividend went up by $1.16 billion, good for the 20th largest increase in the history of the S&P 500, according to data compiled by Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Viewed as a $9.9 billion boost in its payout, Apple's restoration of its dividend in March 2012 was the biggest increase on record.
Buyback Data
Apple's $50 billion increase in its buyback authorization boosted the total repurchases announced by American companies to a record $133.6 billion in April, data compiled by Birinyi Associates Inc. show. So far this year, buybacks have amounted to almost $400 billion, with February, March and April accounting for three out of the four busiest months ever.
While Apple has been praised by activist shareholder Carl Icahn for returning cash, he's been pushing for more. Icahn has argued that Apple is undervalued and should be trading at $203 a share, which would give the company a market capitalization of more than $1 trillion.
Apple jumped 1.8% to $132.65 during regular trading. After the company released results after the market close, the shares climbed 1.3%.
"At this point, it makes sense for them to be in the mode of listening to their shareholders and returning capital to them," Jankovskis said. "It's a positive development for shareholders and it reflects the maturation of the company."

Henry Bretislav (latinized as Bretislaus, ; died 15 or 19 June 1197), a member of the Přemyslid dynasty, was Bishop of Prague from 1182, then Duke of Bohemia as "Bretislav III" from 1193 to his death.

Ecclesiastical career
Henry was a son of Jindřich (d. after 1169) and his wife Margaret. After his studies at the University of Paris, he returned to Bohemia and was named provost at the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul in Vyšehrad. In 1182, he accepted the diaconate from the hands of his Přemyslid cousin Archbishop Adalbert III of Salzburg. Henry Bretislav was elected on 25 March 1182 as successor of the late bishop of Prague Valentin, and went to Mainz to receive affirmation by Metropolitan Christian I. He was ordained a priest on 22 May and crowned bishop the following day.

Bretislav soon came into conflict with Duke Frederick of Bohemia, who had regained the Bohemian throne in 1178 and usurped discretionary power over ecclesiastical properties. In 1187, the bishop officially addressed Emperor Frederick Barbarossa to complain about the duke's infringements. In turn, the emperor elevated Henry Bretislav to a prince of the Holy Roman Empire, providing that the Prague bishop was only subject to the Holy Roman Emperor. However, the imperial immediacy did not outlast Bretislav's tenure.

In the ongoing quarrels over the Prague throne between Duke Frederick and his successors Conrad II and Wenceslaus II, he supported Ottokar, a younger son of the late King Vladislaus II with his second wife Judith of Thuringia. In 1192, Ottokar usurped the Bohemian throne from Wenceslaus II, allied with his younger brother Vladislaus Henry, Prince of Brno and Znojmo, whom he appointed Margrave of Moravia. Wenceslaus tried to petition Emperor Henry VI for assistance, but was captured. Henry Bretislav supported Ottokar, but was unable to pay the necessary tribute of 6,000 écus to the emperor for the Bohemian crown and the Moravian margraviate. While on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, he was captured by Henry VI, who held him captive at his court.

Duke of Bohemia
Emperor Henry VI, however, was not ignorant of Bohemian affairs. When Ottokar joined a revolt of several German princes against the ruling House of Hohenstaufen, he and his brother and Vladislaus Henry were declared deposed in June 1193 by a decision of the Imperial Diet at Worms. Ottokar was abandoned by the nobility and fled; the emperor exempted his cousin Bishop Henry Bretislav from the payment and enfeoffed him with the Bohemian duchy. Margrave Vladislaus Henry was summoned to Prague Castle, where he had to spend the following years suspiciously eyed by Duke Bretislav.

Bretislav had to secure his duchy by force of arms. By Christmas 1193, he was keeping court at Prague. In 1195, he drove Vladislaus out of Moravia and installed one of his supporters in the march. Bretislav also took part in an Imperial campaign in Meissen, where his army plundered the churches. To make amends, he planned to take part in the German Crusade of 1197, decided on at the diet of Worms of December 1195, but due to his prolonged illness it was never actualised. When Ottokar marched against Prague, Henry Bretislav proceeded to the Imperial Palace in Eger (Cheb), where he died on 15 or 19 June 1197. He is buried in the Doksany monastery church.

On 23 June the Bohemian nobles elected Margrave Vladislaus Henry his successor. Shortly afterwards, he came to terms with his brother Ottokar, who finally ascended the Prague throne and the next year obtained the royal title from Philip of Swabia, confirmed by the German king Frederick II in the 1212 Golden Bull of Sicily.

Q: Probability measures are representable through measurable functions? Let $f$ be a measurable function $f:D\to \mathbb C$, where $D$ is a measurable set in $\mathbb R^k$ with finite non-zero measure. We know that the linear positive operator $\Lambda:C_c(\mathbb C) \to \mathbb R$ given by
$$
\Lambda(G) = \frac{1}{|D|}\int_D G(f(x)) dx
$$
is (uniquely) representable by a radon probability measure $\mu$ such that
$$
\Lambda(G) = \int_{\mathbb C} G d\mu
$$
I wonder if the opposite is also true. That is

Given a probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb C$, there exists a measurable function $f:[0,1]\to \mathbb C$ s.t.
  $$ \int_{\mathbb C} G d\mu  = \int_0^1 G(f(x)) dx$$
  for every $G\in C_c(\mathbb C)$?

It's easy to build $f$ if $\mu$ is atomic, but I don't know if it is true for singular or continuous measures.

A: I would check this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_probability_space ... See the first paragraph of the section verifying the standardness, which says that any probability measure on euclidean space is standard.
This means that any probability measure on euclidean space is isomorphic (up to null sets) to a disjoint union of an interval and a countable atomic measure. (Isomorphism here means in the category of measure spaces with measurable measure preserving maps. Up to null sets means that we are allowed to construct this isomorphism on the complement of sets of measure zero... this is written better on wikipedia.)
I think I can prove this but my argument below reflects the messy state of my mind right now. I'll try to clean it up and verify details after I get some sleep...
A strategy for proof would be to reduce it to the case of an interval (is it easy to show that the class of standard probability spaces is closed under products?* this is stated as true on wikipedia), and then use the cumulative density function to prove this in the case of the interval. (I see now that kimchilover is discussing this. The case of the interval is a pretty standard fact from measure theoretic probability courses, it should be done in detail in Durret, if I recall correctly.)
(*Ahout the case of products - applying the guaranteed decomposition into interval and atomic part to the factors and using distributivity of the product, this reduces to showing that the Lebesgue measure on $I^n$ is a standard probability space. This would follow from induction after proving the existence of a measure preserving map $I \to I^2$. I think you can produce one as a the limit of a sequence of maps $f_n : I \to I^2$, where $f_n$ breaks $I$ into $2^n$ pieces and puts them in $I^2$ in a checkerboard fashion, and $f_{n+1}$ refines $f_n$ so that there is a well defined pointwise limit.)
Given that, I think a yes to your question is immediate  - you replace the complex numbers with the interval $J$ and some atoms (after removing a null set), chop up your parametrizing  interval $[0,1]$ into two appropriately sized intervals $I_1$ and $I_2$, and use $I_2$ to produce the atoms (again by chopping it up into intervals), and parametrize $J$ with $I_1$.

A: Yes.  You are basically asking, given a probability measure $\gamma$ (I'm changing notation on you here, a bit) on $\mathbb C$, is there a random variable with $\gamma$ as its probability distribution?
Recall the trick that if a real random variable has distribution function $F$, it can be simulated by $F^{-1}(U)$, where $U$ is uniformly distributed on $[0,1]$ as follows, where an obvious convention about the meaning of $F^{-1}$ handles jump discontinuities in $F$.  You are in effect asking for a 2 dimensional version of this.
There might be elegant ways to show this, but this is what comes to the top of my head.  Let $\pi$ be the marginal distribution of $\operatorname{Re}(z)$ when $z\sim \gamma$.  That is, it is the image of $\gamma$ induced by $z\mapsto \operatorname{Re}(z).$ Disintegrate $\gamma$ with respect to $\pi$, writing $\gamma=\int_{\mathbb R} \gamma_x \pi(dx)$ where $\gamma_x$ is the conditional distribution of $\operatorname{Im}(z)$ given $\operatorname{Re}(z)=x.$  (See the wikipedia article about this.)
Let $(U,V)$ be uniformly distributed on $[0,1]\times[0,1]$, and let $X = F^{-1}(U)$ where $F$ is the distribution function for the measure $\pi$ and $Y = G_X^{-1}(V)$, where $G_x (y)=\gamma_x((-\infty,y])$ is the distribution function of $\gamma_x$.  Write the composition as $\phi:(U,V)\mapsto (X,Y)$.
Finally, let $f=\phi\circ m$ where $m$ is any Lebesgue-preserving map from $[0,1]\to[0,1]\times[0,1]$.  Then the image of Lebesgue measure on $[0,1]$ under $f$ is your desired $\gamma$.

Canada Ponders an Unusual Drug Problem: a Shortage of Marijuana
Josh Wingrove and Jen Skerritt
The biggest challenge for Justin Trudeau's forthcoming legal recreational marijuana market is a shortage of pot, the finance minister of Canada's most-populous province says.
Ontario's Charles Sousa said a supply crunch was discussed during a meeting with provincial and federal counterparts this week. Canada is aiming to legalize recreational pot in the next 12 months, the first major economy to do so. One analyst said he's concerned the government could use a supply shortage as an excuse to delay rolling out the program.
"Ultimately the biggest problem that appears after today's discussion is one of supply," Sousa said in an interview this week. Finance ministers were told demand is "quite high" for marijuana already in Canada, he said. "So we want to make certain that, when we do proceed, there is sufficient supply to accommodate the activity because what we're trying to do is curb the illicit use and organized crime that now exists around it."
Trudeau's framework for legalization, unveiled in April, will rely on Canada's provinces to set up sale and distribution regimes, while at minimum selling recreational pot by mail beginning some time before July 2018. Key details including taxation remain up in the air. Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau has said he favors a tax rate that will starve out the black market, one of the government's key objectives. "That as a conclusion would lead us to say taxation rates have to be low," Morneau told reporters after the June 19 meeting, where he said they discussed the need for a "coordinated" approach.
Initial Shortage
Canada's burgeoning marijuana industry has ballooned in value amid optimism over Trudeau's plan for recreational sales, which Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. said in November could reach C$6 billion ($4.5 billion) annually by 2021. Combined demand for recreational and medical marijuana may reach 575,000 kilograms by 2021, according to the report.
The government says a key aim is to shrink or altogether kill the black market, and any shortage of legal weed would hinder that effort. Trudeau's plans also allow people to grow up to four plants in a home.
Companies are still in the midst of trying to build and expand their facilities and everything would have to go "perfectly" in order to have enough supply, PI Financial analyst Jason Zandberg said. Initial sales will probably be online and by mail as it wouldn't be possible for the market to stock enough inventory in government dispensaries across the country.
Expanding patient lists are creating a shortage in Canada's medical marijuana market as some producers stop taking new clients or sell out of certain strains, Zandberg said.
"There will be a shortage initially," the analyst said by telephone. "My concerns are that if that is used as an excuse to push the date of recreational legalization back, there's a danger that it slips into the next election cycle and doesn't actually happen."
Canada had 167,754 registered medicinal marijuana users as of March 31, triple the amount from a year earlier. Supply shortages are already a problem for Canada's existing legalized medicinal market, said Greg Engel, chief executive officer of Organigram Holdings Inc., a Moncton-based producer.
Companies "are building out additional capacity very actively and aggressively" for both the medicinal and recreational markets, Engel said. Organigram's capacity is 6,000 kilograms annually and will reach 26,000 kilograms annually by the end of 2018, he said, though companies still don't know exactly what they can sell. "We do need clarity very soon from the federal government."
Health Canada pledged last month to speed up its approval process for applicants seeking a license to grow marijuana. The agency has been more responsive but it still takes up to a year for a new producer to ramp up production and get product to market, said Cam Mingay, a senior partner at Cassels Brock who follows the industry.
"I don't know what anyone can do about it -- you can't force the plants to grow faster," he said when asked about a shortage. Approving more companies wouldn't be a silver bullet. "You could approve 50 more tomorrow, and realistically they could probably be in production by the end of 2018 in any meaningful capacity."
While the government has issued a number of new licenses, it may still take 12 months or more for new companies to start ramping up production, said Beacon Securities analyst Vahan Ajamian. The available supply hasn't kept pace with the growth in medical marijuana patients and it's unclear what type of products will be available on the legal market next year and the level of taxation, he said.
Rushed Timeline
"On July 1, are millions of people going to go online and start buying legally or will there be a slow transition over the next five years from the black market to the legal regulated market?" Ajamian said.
Manitoba Finance Minister Cameron Friesen has expressed concern about the timeline, saying it is too rushed to implement a legal market for recreational marijuana by July 2018. Sousa said his government has no problem with the implementation date -- which sets up the pot regime to kick in sometime around an election next year in the province. Ontario is eyeing a number of options for setting up retail sales, Sousa said, though he acknowledged other provinces are at different stages.
"What we want is to basically be sure that all of Canada is able to implement and distribute at the same time," he said. "I think some provinces are still trying to come to grips with how to get it done."

Damac chairman Hussain Sajwani.
Dubai's Damac Properties plans to invest as much as £1 billion ($1.3 billion) in London's real estate market as a weaker pound makes the city cheaper.
Chairman Hussain Sajwani said his company is looking at deals from £500 million to £1 billion in central London.
"If it was a hard Brexit there will be more opportunities and we would be looking to take advantage of that," Sajwani said in a Bloomberg TV interview at a World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday. "London is London and you buy when there is blood on the street."
In November, Damac Properties announced total revenue of AED5.2 billion ($1.4 billion) and net profit of AED1.1 billion for the first nine months of 2018.
During the same period, Damac said it delivered 3,800 units, almost double the number (1,923) in the same period in the previous year.
Damac said it booked sales for the first nine months were reported at AED3.2 billion, while total assets stood at AED25 billion.

Nightflyers at SDCC 2018: Alien Meets The Shining
by Jamie Sugah	| Posted on July 25, 2018
COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL: SAN DIEGO — "Nightflyers Panel" — Pictured: (l-r) Eoin Macken, Gretchen Mol, David Ajala — (Photo by: Randy Shropshire/SYFY)
SYFY is always a solid presence at San Diego Comic-Con, and this year they invaded the Indigo Ballroom to bring fans one of their new shows: Nightflyers.
Based on a novella by George R.R. Martin, Nightflyers takes place in the not-too-distant future. Earth isn't doing too well, and the human race is searching for a new home, but things are not all they seem about the ship. There is a lot of conflict in the show – some internal, some external – but the focus is mainly on the psychological, and what happens when something goes wrong and you're trapped. Much of the cast was on hand for the inaugural panel, which included a video message from GRRM himself. They also debuted a brand-new trailer!
Horror fans may notice some homages throughout the season. 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, and Alien are all classic films that got a nod from the production team. Executive producer Jeff Buhler gleefully told us that they used the exact same lenses to film Nightflyers that were used on Alien. We were also instructed to pay close attention to the use of color, particularly when and how they use red.
Keep in mind, this is from GRRM, which means there's a lot of death. We should all be used to this from GRRM by now! The cast talked about how they would fly through the script every week just to see if their character survived the episode. I'd caution you against having a favorite character, because it's always your favorite character who dies.
The arc of season 1 focuses mainly around the plot of the novella, but they didn't want to do a straight remake, and executive producers Gene Klein and David Bartis mentioned that – should they be graced with a season 2 – they'll be free to do a little more exploring in the world.
Check out our interviews with executive producers Buhler, Klein, and Bartis as well as cast members David Ajala, Gretchen Mol, and Angus Sampson!

Валандовската афера от декември 1899 до 20 април 1900 година е един от големите провали в дейността на Вътрешната македоно-одринска революционна организация, който разстройва организационната мрежа в Гевгелийско, Дойранско, Тиквеш и Ениджевардарско. В аферата са изтезавани 150 и арестувани 100 души.

Причини

На 7 декември 1899 година четата на Иванчо Карасулията влиза в град Валандово с цел да отвлече богат гъркоманин, собственик на мина. Нападат жилището му, но не успяват да влязат в него и след няколко часова престрелка с жандармерията, в която загиват две заптиета, четата се изтегля без загуби.

Разследване
Разследването е поето от Мехмед паша от Тетово. Валандово е блокиран от войска и след мъчения дейците на ВМОРО Васил Тайтайкин и Гирджиков признават, че четата се крие у Иван и Пено Гегови от село Балинци. Гегови не признават нищо, но властите разбират, че в района има създадена революционна организация. В селата в района започват масови арести и изтезания. В Балинци са бити 5 души, в Гявато 12 души, в Гърчище 20 души. В Богданци са измъчвани Гано Пеев, Христо Николов, Караискаак, Ичко Тодоров и други, много са затворените, между които и поп Григор Янев, а от селото бягат Мицо Марков, Дельо Колчов и Гоно Ванчев.

Аферата бързо обхваща почти целия Солунски вилает и се простира и в Тиквеш, където пострадват селата Бегнище и Ресава. В село Пърждево е арестуван след предателство цялото ръководство на револционния комитет: Атанас Кондов, Ристо Масларов, Ефрем Янев и Арсо Самарджиев, които са жестоко измъчвани. Първите трима издържат, но Самарджиев проговоря и така нанася сериозен удар на дейността в Тиквеш.

Заради побоищата и арестите започва серия жалби до чуждите консули в Солун. Под влаяние на дипломатите, турските власти започват постепенно да освобождават задържаните, а от Солун идва специална комисия, която да разследва действията на Мехмед паша, дойранския и гевгелийския каймакамин, които са уволнени.

Аферата се подновява през април 1900 година, когато Кязим ага убива 1 човек в Тумба, 1 в Дъбово и 4 овчари в Боймица, между които и 12-годишно дете. След това в Боймица са арестувани 6 селяни, между които и учителят Филип Георгиев. Жената на Георгиев организира делегация от Боймица до Солун и арестите са прекратени.

Here's Why Investors Should Retain Windstream (WIN) Stock
On Sep 11, we issued an updated research report on Windstream Holdings Inc. WIN, a leading local exchange carrier in the United States.
Notably, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company is leaving no stone unturned to deliver best-in-class performance that customers can depend upon when connecting to Cloud Service Providers. Recently, it also introduced a wide range of connectivity options for its cloud customers, thus enhancing its Cloud Connect solution.
In fact, Windstream has adopted a number of steps to expand its business. Also, it is coping with the growing demand for highly secure, reliable and dedicated access to cloud resources from customers all over the nation.
Of late, this local exchange carrier launched cloud-to-cloud disaster recovery management solutions that replicate mission-critical virtual servers and data to provide an alternative system for cloud-based disaster recovery to customers. Furthermore, the company deployed Infinera Cloud Xpress to enable effective service of its data center interconnect customers.
Meanwhile, Windstream merger with EarthLink Holdings Corp. earlier this year has boosted its SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) suite. The deal has also strengthened the company's footprint, taking the total count to 145,000 route miles, in Southeast and Northeast United States. Going forward, the merged entity is expected to save around $125 million in operating and capital expenses annually.
Additionally, expansion of the company's metro fiber network business in Atlanta, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Cleveland, Dallas, Chicago, Little Rock, Detroit, Indianapolis and Knoxville bodes well.
Markedly, the company's focus on improving sales, cutting cost and planning pricing initiatives, which are expected to lead to profits and check churn is impressive.
However, shares of Windstream have declined 68.5% compared with the industry's fall of 11.2% in the past six months. The company has been losing access lines due to pricing pressure and fierce competition. Moreover, continuous investments in technology and network upgrades are other near-term risks.
Stocks to Consider
Investors interested in the broader Computer and Technology sector may consider better-ranked stock like Arista Networks, Inc. ANET, America Movil SAB AMX and Motorola Solutions, Inc. MSI.
Arista Networks currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and projects earnings per share (EPS) growth rate of 19.3% in the next three to five years. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
America Movil and Motorola Solutions currently holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Both the companies expect EPS growth rate of 55.9% and 5.2%, respectively, in the next three to five years.

It could become the mother of all technological revolutions. Apple sold a mere 1 billion iPhones in 10 years but a new breakthrough is expected to generate more than 27 billion devices in just 3 years, creating a $1.7 trillion market.
Zacks has just released a Special Report that spotlights this fast-emerging phenomenon and 6 tickers for taking advantage of it. If you don't buy now, you may kick yourself in 2020.

The Lower Don Valley Flood Defence Project has been shortlisted for two awards. The first is the Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) Yorkshire and Humber Awards where the project has been shortlisted for the Centenary Award for projects £5 million and over. The ICE awards ceremony is being held in Harrogate on the 2nd March.
Awards are made for civil engineering projects with a regional dimension in recognition of achievement, excellence or innovation in civil engineering. Nominated projects will normally be expected to have been completed or substantially completed not more than two years before the closing date for nominations. Factors to be taken into account will include value and impact on society, sustainability, health safety and welfare, quality of design, innovation and best practice, difficulty and response, collaboration and excellence in delivery.
The second award which the project has been shortlisted for is the Environment Agency's Project Excellence Awards in the category of Working in Partnership. The award will be made to recognise excellent local partnership action to enhance community flood risk management and preparedness. This awards ceremony follows on from this year's Flood and Coast Exhibition and will be held on the 21st March.
River channel maintenance work is ongoing and large scale tree management is underway along the river at East Coast Road where a small number of mature crack willow trees which have been identified as at risk of falling into the river, are being cut back. This fast growing species of tree has a tendency to crack and fall into the river channel when it is mature and is easily damaged during high winds so regular management is essential.
Volunteers were out along the same stretch of the river this week helping to remove debris and litter from the riverbanks.
Some snagging work on the project is still outstanding but efforts are being made to ensure this is carried out as quickly as possible.

News from National Convention—New Diversity Toolkit
As our country and school communities become more diverse, our PTAs are working to become more diverse in their membership and leadership as well. Tohelp PTAs with that process, National PTA released the new Diversity and Inclusion Toolkit at the 2015 National PTA Convention at a breakfast honoring this year's Jan Harp Domene Diversity and Inclusion Award winners.
The toolkit is based on best practices from across the country in reaching out to underrepresented groups in your community and provides information for PTA leaders at both the state and local level. Key take-aways for starting or enhancing diversity initiatives are:
Assemble a diversity committee
Set goals, milestones, and realistic expectations
Try new ideas
Communicate with community groups and leaders
Celebrate your successes
Additional information is provided on how to grow your PTA's membership by engaging with non-traditional audiences.
This information walks you through the process of reaching out to those communities by:
Doing a self-assessment
Creating effective messaging by adapting to non-traditional audiences
Promoting meaningful family engagement
Creating community connections
Making your PTA an information resource for parents, families, educators, and community groups
National PTA's diversity and inclusion page will serve as a repository for best practices and programs, allowing the toolkit to continue to expand. The page also includes a recorded webinar covering some of the material in the toolkit.
As PTAs continue to work to fulfill their mission to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children, the Diversity and Inclusion Toolkit provides a critical resource in reaching out to all families and all children.

Parents have often inquired, "what exactly is a Montessori sensorial lesson?" The purpose of sensorial activities is to help the child in their effort(s) to sort out the different impressions given by the senses. These materials are specifically designed to help the child develop discrimination, order, and to broaden and refine the senses.
So let's dive right into outlining its definition, purpose and ways to reinforce some of the things learned in the classroom to the home setting. The sensorial area in a Montessori classroom focuses on lessons and activities that help develop the five senses: seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling. The lessons and activities provided in the sensorial area of the classroom help children clarify, classify and understand the world around them.
The sensorial materials are designed with built-in feedback to control errors aimed to show when a mistake has been made. Children are encouraged to be independent of oversight which develops their self-confidence and incentive to practice and improve. A child's sense perception(s) will become structured and capable of comprehending abstract concepts through experiencing the Sensorial lessons. The sensorial area is divided into six categories: size, form, color, tactile, gustatory, olfactory, and auditory.
Lessons within the size category help develop the child's discrimination of differences in size, and weight. These lessons prepare the children for mathematics – counting numbers, composing numbers, and measuring quantity. By working from left to right and up and down, the children prepare reading and writing. Finally, the children develop coordination, concentration, order and most importantly independence.
Geometric lessons help develop the child's visual discrimination in shape and form. Additionally, a child develops the ability to observe progression from concrete to more abstract forms, all while the child learns the various figures. Indirectly, these lessons prepare the child for writing.
Developing the chromatic senses allows a child to learn perceived differences between primary and secondary, as well as the various gradations of each. The color lessons also aim to develop a child's ability to recognize similarities and differences in colors and order.
Through the tactile lessons, a child learns to perceive the world through touch, developing the ability to discriminate between coarse and fine.
Lessons that develop gustatory and olfactory senses allow a child to explore their world through smells and taste.
Most of the lessons found in the Sensorial area of the Montessori classroom can be reinforced through "exploration" at home with your child. For example, when going for a walk, ask your child what the different shapes and colors he/she sees around him/her. Are the objects they are looking at big or small; rough or smooth; good- or bad-smelling; thick or thin; or tall or short? These Sensorial lessons help prepare the child to become a logical, aware, and perceptive individual.
Start off by cutting up the straws into small pieces into 1-2 inch pieces; this is an excellent activity for an older child.
Kids will love playing with the straws, making patterns, and sorting them by color! The older children may attempt to fit the straws inside of themselves, which is a wonderful fine motor exercise!
This is a super simple activity to set up and is a great source of entertainment and exploration. To contain the mess, set your two baking sheets side by side, fill one with playdough and kinetic sand on the other side. Give your child the shape cookie cutters and let them go to town exploring their imprints into both of the materials. Be sure to stick close by to not only supervise, but also so that you can reinforce the shape names and talk about various attributes.
