"Thank you for an amazing job. When I look at the list of things you've accomplished in such a short time, I'm not just impressed -– I'm astonished. You've helped the book find its audience, which is exactly what I'd hoped for. Like a little boat on the vast sea of the Internet, you've helped pilot this small Web site right to people who might be most interested in seeing it come over their horizon. It's been a pleasure working with you, not only because you were fun to work with, but also because you delivered more than I imagined was possible."
Thank you for the terrific campaign. We received a lot of visibility for the new book, and we appreciate all the work that you and your team did to introduce Stop Selling & Start Leading to readers. I wish you the very best, and I hope we have the chance to work together again.
"It was a true pleasure working Fauzia and her team on the online media campaign for my new book. They created a beautiful author website for me, secured dozens of broadcast and print interviews, promoted my book on social media, and kept me continuously updated on the campaign's progress. They are professionals in every way, and lovely to boot!"
"Fauzia, Anna and team were invaluable to us in launching Straight Talk for Startups. They provided the online and new media muscle we lacked and by far produced the largest awareness of anyone working on the launch. Their deep understanding of the book and the authors, and their care and personal attention was extraordinary. I am so grateful for Fauzia, Anna and FSB and could not recommend them more highly."
"FSB Associates helped us to position our brand across the social media platforms and to focus our efforts in the most productive ways. Their skillful work has produced better results than we ever expected. The FSB team is professional, courteous, upbeat, and knowledgeable. We had known about FSB for a long time, but had never actually worked with the company. Now we are very glad we did and recommend FSB to others."

Sir Nicholas Grimshaw Wins Royal Gold Medal for Architecture
Sep 28, 2018 9:09 am EDT
Sir Nicholas Grimshaw has been named as the 2019 recipient of the Royal Gold Medal, the UK's highest honor for architecture. Given in recognition of a lifetime's work, the Royal Gold Medal is approved personally by Her Majesty The Queen and is given to a person or group of people who have had a significant influence 'either directly or indirectly on the advancement of architecture.'
"I am thrilled to hear about the Gold Medal and would like to thank those who supported my nomination," Grimshaw stated. "My life, and that of the practice, has always been involved in experiment and in ideas, particularly around sustainability; I have always felt we should use the technology of the age we live in for the improvement of mankind. I would like to thank everyone who has ever worked in the office for contributing to our bank of ideas, and for helping to make it an enjoyable and humanistic place."
Playing a leading role in British architecture for more than half a century, Nicholas Grimshaw is arguably best-known for the landmark International Terminal at London's Waterloo station and the visionary Eden Project in Cornwall.
Linked by their scale and complexity, these two buildings illustrate Grimshaw's extraordinary innovative approach to architecture and his modernist signature. Built within a superstructure of glass and steel, the International Terminal won the RIBA Building of the Year Award (the precursor to the RIBA Stirling Prize) in 1994 and is applauded as an exemplar of British transport architecture. The bubble-like biome structures of the Eden Project transformed a redundant clay pit into a world-renowned ecological centre and quickly became one of the UK's most popular visitor attractions.
Nicholas Grimshaw established his own practice in 1980 and over the decades since, he and his team have created an impressive portfolio of built projects all around the world. From a suite of factories for Herman Miller, to innovative apartments in Regent's Park and Camden Town, from a Spa in historic Bath to the Ludwig Erhard Haus in Berlin. Today, his firm employs over 600 staff with offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, Doha, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne and Sydney.

We use Lifeforming coaching skills professionally in Beijing business networks – and also within the church communities that we lead. Lifeforming has not only impacted our personal lives, our leadership teams, our church, and Beijing – but also the world! Beijing is a transient city and people are going into all the world, carrying Lifeforming values and tools with them.
Lifeforming's investment in El Salvador has been of tremendous value in our ministry. It has benefited pastors and leaders since 2005 by means of helping multiply themselves in a godly manner in other leaders. I would say that creating a culture of accountability and raising awareness in our leaders will render a great harvest in the years to come.
Thanks Dr. Umidi, Thanks Lifeforming.
Lifeforming Leadership Coaching is the most valuable and transformative process I have ever experienced. I have gone through numerous other certifications and trainings; however, none have been the catalyst for change like Lifeforming – personally or professionally. More importantly, I have observed the transformative effects of the Lifeforming process in the lives of people from all walks of life – including challenging communities here in America, Kenya, and the townships of South Africa.
TLC has made a very big difference to my life and ministry since I was trained and certified by Dr Joseph Umidi's team in 2005. I have started a marketplace coaching and coach training business that has taken me all over Asia. At the same time, I serve in a one-to-one discipleship ministry in my home church in Singapore. And very soon, my partnership with another TLC trained coach will be launching a mobile coaching app to facilitate greater engagement between coach and client. Thank you so much to Lifeforming Leadership Coaching for this life transforming experience.
Lifeforming's investment in me personally has been transformational both in regards to my marriage and ministry. My wife looks at my initial coach training as a turning point in our marriage, where, after 30 years of marriage, I moved from "telling" to "asking". My thinking has been transformed. Both the Kenyan business sector and private sector derive benefit from the work SCMI Kenya performs through Lifeforming Leadership coach training. Lifeforming has also made significant impact in Kenya. Lifeforming Coaching has been transformational in my personal life, in my ministry, and in helping to impact a nation.
Having enjoyed substantial top executive development; we nevertheless experienced phenomenal growth in our leadership and coaching skills and insights as a result of qualifying at the highest level of coaching/training with Lifeforming Leadership Coaching. The benefits of integrating a transformational coaching approach in all of life continue to far exceed expectations in Southern Africa, wherever Lifeforming coaches are involved. Lifeforming processes and executives carry our highest recommendation.


(HAMBURG, NEW YORK) – Fear – in a word, according to representatives of the non-profit New York Foundation For Fair Contracting, is holding back many Non-Union Construction Workers from reporting wage theft or unsafe working conditions.
That's because they don't know where to go for help when it comes to being cheated out of their wages and their fringe benefits.
And just how would they ever make the right authorities aware of what's happened to them without facing repercussions from their employer or being fired from their jobs?
And it's not just Construction Workers. Its contractors looking for a fair shot at obtaining public construction work, while at the same time battling unscrupulous contractors that receive low responsible bidder status on a project.
And its public bodies that want to award contracts to responsible contractors who qualify as the low bidder.
After all, in the end, it's the taxpayer who foots the bill when it's found a debarred contractor that's been restricted from bidding for public works jobs does indeed get the job.
But here in New York State, there's an entity that's currently working to level the playing field by supporting fair contracting across the State – the New York Foundation For Fair Contracting, a non-profit Labor-Management Organization that monitors Prevailing Wage public project work and the competitive bidding process in Western, Central and Northern New York, including those that fall under New York State Labor Law § 220 (covering public work) and Federally-funded Davis-Bacon (Prevailing Wage) work.
Under the State Freedom of Information Law and the Federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the NYFFC – which is not a private investigative service – reviews bid documents, contracts and certified payroll records to ensure contracting companies are following the laws and regulations that govern the industry.
The NYFFC's compliance and monitoring work is done for the benefit of public bodies, as well as the taxpaying public. And its investigations serve to curb the corrupt act of underbidding and disenfranchising, not only for the individual Workers on a project, but also for taxpayers who expect a timely, safe and high quality end result.
By monitoring the bid process and submitting bid protests when necessary, the NYFFC acts as a pro-active watchdog. The NYFFC will then alert a public body that an apparent low bidder is currently on the New York State "debarred" list – which means when a contractor is on that list and is restricted from bidding for public works jobs.
With that said, the NYFFC also helps Workers prepare complaints to notify a regulatory agency where their complaint or complaints can be fully investigated.
"When (contractors) 'aren't playing by the rules – there is no level playing field,'" Candace Morrison, an Attorney who serves as Counsel to the NYFFC, told WNYLaborToday.com during a recent interview held at the organization's offices in Hamburg, just south of Buffalo.
"We handle about two dozen complaints a year," Morrison continued, adding the NYFFC looks at cases across New York after having morphed into a Statewide Organization in 2014. Before then, its mission was being a Western New York entity only. "Unfortunately, (unscrupulous) contractors 'don't just operate here in Western New York,'" she said.
And it would appear the NYFFC is already having an impact.
Case in point – in October, and as a result of a NYFFC investigation and a subsequent lawsuit, two Buffalo-area contractors and two owners were ordered to pay more than $3 million to settle false claims act allegations (See the U.S. Department of Justice press release at www.justice.gov/opa/pr/western-new-york-contractors-and-two-owners-pay-more-3-million-settle-false-claims-act).
Zoladz Construction Company Incorporated, Arsenal Contracting LLC and Alliance Contracting LLC, along with two owners – John Zoladz of Darien and David Lyons of Grand Island, agreed to pay the U.S. more than $3 million to settle allegations they violated the False Claims Act by improperly obtaining Federal set-aside contracts designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVO) Small Businesses.
The settlement resolved a lawsuit – United States ex rel. Western New York Foundation for Fair Contracting, Inc. v. Arsenal Contracting, LLC, et al., Case No. 11-CV-0821(S) (W.D.N.Y.) – filed under the whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act, which permit private individuals to sue on behalf of the government for false claims.
Suszczynski knows his job well, having joined the NYFFC in 2011 after retiring from a 36-year career as an Investigator with the U.S. Department of Labor, Wage & Hour Division. He has extensive experience enforcing Federal Labor Laws, including the Davis-Bacon Act (the Federal Prevailing Wage Law).
Suszczynski has conducted investigations across 20 New York State Counties that are covered by the Buffalo Wage & Hour Office – and in the process, recovered thousands of dollars in back pay for hundreds of Workers who've been underpaid by their employers.
Also playing a key role at the NYFFC is Researcher Matt Kent, who continually monitors the bidding process of public works projects and helps advance the NYFFC's pro-active advocacy agenda. Kent returned to his Western New York roots after spending 14 years in Washington, D.C., serving as a Federal Lobbying for the American Postal Workers Union (APWU), where he built and mobilized bipartisan Congressional coalitions in support of robust public services.
"(Public entities) 'have an obligation.' They 'just can't assume everything is being done right.' 'They have the right to ask for proof' of (wages and benefits) payments. We 'make them aware that they can do that.' 'They can ask for' documentation," Suszczynski added.
The NYFFC offers these complimentary services to contractors: Accurate and up-to-date wage rates and Worker Classification information and explanations of contractor rights and responsibilities – under the law. And, all services are confidential.
When it comes to Construction Workers, the NYFFC says Employees should be paid a pre-determined "prevailing wage" for all hours worked on a public work job. The wage rate is dependent on Worker Classification – such as a Carpenter, Laborer, Operator – and the New York State County where they are working.
Workers should also receive time and a half for all hours worked over 40 hours in a week. Construction Workers in New York State should also receive an overtime rate for all hours or portion of an hour worked over eight hours in a single twenty-four hour period, the NYFFC also pointed out.
Under New York State General Municipal Law, a State body has the right to award a contract to the lowest responsible bidder. Municipalities across New York have enacted responsible bidder laws that reinforce the legal obligation to award a contract to the company with both a low bid and a responsible compliance history. As such, the NYFFC provides support and guidance to municipalities wishing to enact a Responsible Bidder Ordinance, which it did with City Officials in Dunkirk, located in Chautauqua County – just south of Buffalo.
In regards to an unsafe workplace, it's the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) – the Federal Agency that's responsible for setting, maintaining and enforcing workplace safety standards for all work places across the U.S. If a Worker believes there's an OSHA violation at his or her workplace, Employees are asked to contact OSHA directly here in New York State, at 716-551-3053 in Buffalo, at 315-451-0808 in Syracuse and at 518-464-4338 in Albany. The NYFFC also provides assistance for those wanting to file an OSHA complaint.
Currently, the NYFCC gets its word out by publicizing its services through its web site (https://nyfaircontracting.org/) and on its Social Media Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/TheNewYorkFoundationForFairContracting/).
We can only level the playing field by working together. If you are a contractor, public body or Worker and want to learn more about fair contracting, contact us at 716-627-4383. If you believe a construction contractor is not paying the correct wages or overtime, has an unsafe work site or is not performing a job right, contact us.Any contact will remain strictly confidential.

Travel Guide to Zakynthos
Best things to do and see in Zakynthos
Zakynthos: Why go
Zakynthos - or Zante, to use the old Italian name - is an island of two halves. In the south, centred around Laganas, is a growing rash of cheap resorts lined with boozy bars and sunburned Brits. But it's easy to avoid; and the rest of the island is glorious, with some of Greece's most spectacular - and most photographed - beaches, not to mention sculpted sea caves, pristine waters where loggerhead turtles swim, and rolling hills of vineyards, olive groves and pine trees.
The postcard view is looking down onto Navagio (or Shipwreck) Beach - you'll recognise it. Backed by sheer cliffs (you can only reach it by boat), an ancient trawler hull is half-covered by sun-bleached sands, while its azure waters sparkle in the sunlight. It makes you want to be there, now. Other lovely northerly beaches include Xygia, whose therapeutic sulphurous waters act as a natural spa; and the deep inlet of Porto Vromi, best reached by boat, with its small pebbly strip and buzzing beach bar.
Families might prefer the long sandy stretches of Tsilivi - which also has a water park nearby; and the shallow sickle of Gerakas - in the south, but protected as it's a breeding ground for loggerhead turtles.
The island's capital is Zakynthos (or Zakinthos) Town, which despite repeated efforts by earthquakes, retains some handsome churches and pretty pastel-coloured Italianate houses, many of them faithfully rebuilt. Stroll the seafront promenade, stop for ice cream, pop into the Post-Byzantine Museum, and climb Bokhali hill to the Venetian castle for bird's eye views over the bay and harbour. You'll be surprised how green it is: the Venetians called the island the Flower of the East, because of its fertile soil.

Q: Undefined Coordinate system So I made a rookie mistake. I created a point feature class in ArcMap 10.6 without assigning a coordinate system. I put in a bunch of points and then went to export it and realized my mistake. I tried defining the projection but its projection is unknown so that doesn't do anything and I tried project(data management) but I get 000517 The coordinate system is not defined for the input dataset. Is there any way to salvage my mistake?

A: Yes.  These data will be referencing the same coordinate reference system (CRS) of the data frame at the time of creation.  Use Windows Explorer and go to the directory that stores your shape file.  Delete the .prj file.  Open ArcGIS and identify the coordinate system of the data frame.  Then use the Define Projection tool to create a new (correct) prj file in the correct CRS.

Medellín's Narco Tours: Legitimate History Or Offensive Glorification Of Monsters?
By Tim Padgett
Tourists pose for a photo at one of the stops on a Medellin narco tour, in front of a sign that says "Welcome to Pablo Escobar's Neighborhood"
Medellín is one of the century's most impressive comeback stories. Colombia's second largest city was once synonymous with the late cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar and drug cartel terrorism. Today it's a modern, thriving - and mostly peaceful - metropolis.
But Medellín still can't shake its bloody reputation, as evidenced by the popularity of 'narco tours,' which show visitors key sites from the city's criminal past.
Are they legitimate history, or are they offensive glorification of monsters like Escobar? WLRN's Sundial host Luis Hernandez asked Colombian journalist Jorge Caraballo Cordovez, who recently reported on the narco tours for the Spanish-language NPR podcast Radio Ambulante.
READ MORE: Once Home to a Dreaded Drug Lord, Medellín Remakes Itself
HERNANDEZ: Pablo Escobar - is he still that big a figure in Medellín?
CARABALLO: Unfortunately yes. He was killed 25 years ago but he's still a very, very important figure in this city. He did a lot of damage but also he was one of the richest people in the world. And Netflix and Caracol here in Colombia have been producing movies, documentaries, books about him.
What exactly is the narco tour - and there's more than one, right?
Yeah, there are at least 15 narco tours. But just a little bit of context: Medellín has changed a lot after Escobar died. The city has transformed itself from the most dangerous city in the world, the most violent, to the narrative of the Miracle City. And a lot of tourists are coming to learn more about the city - and also to learn more about what happened with this story, about Pablo Escobar. If you go to TripAdvisor, the most popular tour in Medellín is a tour [about] Pablo Escobar.
For me as a citizen of Medellin it was very offensive. We need to start talking about what happened - but from the victims' perspective, not through this narrative that people are making money from. -Jorge Caraballo
So you took one of these tours; you wanted to look into what they were telling people. What happened?
The first tour that I took called my attention because it was promoted by Pablo Escobar's top hitman John Jairo Velásquez, whose alias is Popeye. He confessed killing 300 people. So I was, like, OK I'm gonna do this one because it's where the narrative will be more real, right? The inside story of the Cartel de Medellín and Pablo Escobar.
Yeah, let's talk about these some of the stops. The first one is a place where there was the first car bomb, where the most violent war between the cartels started. That was the Monaco building. What happened when you got to that stop?
The Monaco building is where the Cartel de Cali, these enemies of Pablo Escobar, put a car bomb in 1988. Escobar lived there with his family. So the guide [started] telling us all these stories about what was there. All the paintings worth millions of dollars, Picassos - that's what she was saying - that one of the Castro brothers came here and stayed here during the night. And I was like: What?
HITLER TOURS?
At what point did you start to get suspicious that the tour guide was lying?
Well that was the first sign. I'm from Medellín; I lived those years. I've been reading about this all my life, because it's part of my identity, right? I grew up in this very dangerous city. So I was like, 'she was exaggerating a lot. This was a lie.'
Credit Radio Ambulante
Jorge Caraballo
I was with another tourist - a German - and the guide was so excited. So she asked him: I guess in Germany, Hitler tours are as popular [as] these Pablo Escobar tours, right? And he was like, 'Oh my god, how can you say that? No. In Germany we've been working very, very hard to not glorify the perpetrators but to honor the victims.' And she was like, 'Oh, OK.'
That's an interesting point, because here you have these tours glorifying Pablo Escobar and yet you also mentioned in the podcast that the tours promise that they're going to focus more on the victims. But they don't do that, do they?
No, they don't at all. And for me that was very offensive as a citizen of Medellín. I know many, many people who unfortunately lost relatives in this war, and they are just numbers [to the naro tour guides]. Maybe she said, 'Oh yeah, in that bombing 100 people died.' And that's it. Then she starts explaining how smart Pablo Escobar was.
So that was the big takeaway. We need to start talking about this - talking about what happened but not by this narrative that some people are making money from, but from the victim's perspective.

PhD student to develop medical education links with Taiwan
Dr Jamie Read received the 'Medical Education' Travelling Fellowship from the Association for the Study of Medical Education and publishers, Wiley
Miss Amy King

A PhD student is developing international links in medical education after winning an exclusive award from the Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME) and publishers, Wiley.
Dr Jamie Read, from the University of Plymouth, will be travelling to Chang Gung Medical Education Research Centre in Taiwan next year after receiving the 'Medical Education' Travelling Fellowship.
Working as part of the University's Collaboration for the Advancement of Medical Education Research and Assessment (CAMERA), Jamie is the sole recipient of the award in 2018 and his research interest is in the cultural differences in medical education – particularly how students respond to, and recover from, failure.
As an Elderly Care Registrar at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, his working life balances clinical practice, teaching and research, and he will be learning from the Taiwanese institution, as well as sharing learning practice from the University of Plymouth.
Jamie, who graduated from Peninsula Medical School (then Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry) in 2010, said:
"A medical degree is one of the most challenging and rewarding things a student can undertake, and it's vital that these degrees are taught well to give students the best grounding possible. Most students at medical school excel in their study with the support available, but occasionally there are those who fail an exam first time, or need reviewing for patient safety.
"My area of research is looking at the cultural differences in how students in the UK and beyond respond to failure, so they can be better supported. A team at Chang Gung also has expertise in how medical students are taught, and so I'm delighted to have the opportunity to go and work alongside them to research further into students' experiences, thanks to ASME. I'm set to travel there in February 2019, and I'm really looking forward it."
Professor Hilary Neve, Professor in Medical Education in Peninsula Medical School, said:
"Being a doctor is a hugely responsible job, so it's vital that medical students are taught in the most effective ways possible for both their own understanding, and patients' safety. With modules on community engagement and inter-professional learning as well as anatomy, we at Peninsula aim to develop the best rounded professionals we possibly can and we're delighted that Jamie – as a graduate and current PhD student – has the opportunity to share with and learn from Chang Gung. This travelling fellowship is the only one awarded and very prestigious, so we're very proud of his achievement."
Karen Mattick, Director of Awards at ASME, said:
"ASME and Wiley are delighted to have awarded Jamie Read the Medical Education Travelling Fellowship in 2018. This prestigious fellowship aims to enable recipients to gain further experience that will strengthen health professional education research efforts. Jamie's visit to Taiwan shows clear potential to achieve this."
Medical school gets approval from students
98 per cent of medical students were satisfied overall with the quality of their course at the University of Plymouth, according to the 2018 National Student Survey.

Things to know before the Singapore Grand Prix
By Balazs Szabo on Sun Sep 16, 2018 11:10 am
F1 Grand Prix, GP Singapore, Marina Bay Street Circuit
With the European season of the 2018 F1 Championship completed, teams and drivers gathered together in South East Asia this weekend. The artificially-lit Singapore is playing host to its night race for the 11th time.
The small country joined the fray in 2008. The first race was awaited with huge interest and also some degree of scepticism as nobody knew back then how a night race under floodlight would unfold.
The unique set of challenges made the event on the Marina Bay Circuit one of the toughest faced all season. The heat, humidity and the duration of the race all shape a string of elements which drivers have to withstand. Teams have also do their homework before and during the race weekend. The challenge engineers face centres on ensuring the car have sufficient cooling. The tall builiding means that keeping the temperatures in check constatly requires attention. On top of that, drivers change gears around 80 times during a lap and brake more times than at any other circuit means that the transmission and the brakes are also stretched to the limit.
1. A few alterations were made to the circuit before the weekend. The track has been slightly re-aligned around Turns 16 and 17. This means the track length is marginally reduced, from 5.065km to 5.063km. The track has been resurfaced around Turn 1, between Turns 5 and 7, between Turns 15 and 17 and around Turn 23.
2. There will be two DRS zones in Singapore. The first detection point will be at the exit of Turn Four and the first activation point will be 53m after Turn Five. The second detection point will be 180m before the apex of Turn 22, and the activation point will be 48m after apex of Turn 23.
3. Among the race stewards are Dr Gerd Ennser, Steve Chopping and Derek Warwick.
4. Today's Singapore Grand Prix will be the 11th edition of the event. Races have been held every year since 2008.
5. Sebastian Vettel is the most successful driver around the 5.063m long track. Lewis Hamilton is the second on this list with three triumphs, one for McLaren and two for Mercedes. Fernando Alonso is the only two-time winner at Singapore with a win for Renault and another one for Ferrari. Nico Rosberg has also won around the Marina Bay Circuit, the German clinched the victory in 2015 with Mercedes.
6. There have been two support series over the weekend. The Ferrari Challenge and the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia provided the fans with extra race action.
7. Ten years have flown by since the inception of the Singapore Grand Prix and the sport is still waiting for a team which claims a one-two finish as no team has managed to do that yet.
8. The driver on pole position has gone on to win in 70% of the F1 races held at the Marina Bay Street Circuit to date. It means that there are only three Singapore GP victors who did not start the race from the pole position. Vettel won the event from third on the grid in 2012 while Hamilton was victorious last year from fifth on the grid following a heavy start crash between the two Ferraris and Max Verstappen. In this statistics, Fernando Alonso stands out with his shock victory in 2008 when he started from 15th position.
9. Nico Hülkenberg is set to complete the 150th grand prix start of his career this weekend. This championship campaign is the ninth season for the Emmerich-born driver. Hülkenberg started his career at Williams alongside Ruberns Barrichello. He then joined Force India which followed a one-year-long spell at Sauber before rejoining the Silverstone-based outfit. For 2017, he switched to the works Renault team.
10. There has been numerous changes around the circuit. The hospitality suites have been given a fresh new look. There is also an exciting new offering called Twenty3, a 3,000 sqm facility located at the Marina Bay Street Circuit's final turn that houses a multitude of entertainment options, including three feature restaurants. A new Wharf Stage was established which allows music fans to catch performances at the location.

Here we go and into autumn already. But as you will see in Glennis's gardening column, autumn in Menorca is not like it is in the UK. There, everything is being prepared for the cold winter ahead. The trees are beginning to turn, green leaves giving way to autumnal hues of brown and red and gold.
Here, on the other hand, autumn rains are beginning to revive the dry and dusty landscape of summer and the world is becoming green once more. No wonder this time of year is sometimes known here as primavera de hivern: winter's spring.
We have taken this same positive attitude, this idea of a fresh start, into what we are calling the Autumn edition of ROQUETA, which is coming out in early October. The next edition will be the Winter issue, that will hit the stalls in late November. And then nothing until April.
What will Angie and I do with ourselves? Get ready for next year perhaps and try and get ahead of ourselves for a change?
Thinking of the year ahead, we have already looked at making some small changes in layout. We have split the magazine into three sections. The general information with Island News, interviews and other goodies is at the front; the second section on local news will now be found in the middle of the magazine and contains all the usual reports on the societies and charities. The third section, at the back, is the autumn specific section, with recipes, fashion and more. Angela even has a list of recommended Halloween books in the Book Club.
All the old favourites can still be found. Nothing has been lost. You may just need an extra minute to locate one or two of the articles you normally seek out.
We have two really interesting interviews in this edition: one with the mayor of Mahón, the other with the man who has masterminded all the achievements on the Isla del Rey. Javier takes us on a trip to see the migrating birds, which sounds like an amazing experience. On the same note, have you seen your first robin yet? Many, although not all, flee the UK in early October to spend the winter in our warmer climate.
So, another edition full of a real variety of content. We hope you will find most of it interesting and relevant.
If you are thinking of Christmas presents already, then what about a subscription to ROQUETA for a friend or relative, especially those who love the island but only visit for a few weeks a year. Visit the website – https://roquetamagazine.net/subscribe/. It's a simple process.

The Spanish Super Cup slipped away in the final moments on Sunday night as Barça Lassa lost to HC Liceo, 3-2, on a goal by Carlo di Benedetto with just 10 seconds to play. Despite Barça's great effort throughout the game, the good performance was not rewarded and the title ended up going to the Galician team.
The match began favorably for Barça, which went ahead after just three minutes of play on a penalty drawn by Pau Bargalló and goal by Sergi Panadero.
Despite Barça's attempts to extend the lead, Liceo's Edu Lamas, a former blaugrana, tied the game at 1-1 just three minutes from from the break.
Then, in the second half, Marc Coy gave Liceo a a 2-1 lead in minute 27, meaning Barça had time to react, and the blaugranas set their sights on Liceo goalkeeper Xavi Malián — who would end up being the MVP of the final — until the tying goal finally came. Matias Pascual buried a stellar shot from the front of the area, drawing Barça level, 2-2, in minute 43.
Then, with overtime appearing to be ever more imminent, Carlo Di Benedetto gave the victory to the Galicians with just 10 seconds left, making it 3-2 in minute 50, keeping the Spanish Super Cup just out of reach for Barça.
The loss was Barça's first in 10 months, the last one coming in a November 2017 OK Liga match versus Reus, also by a score of 3-2.
Nevertheless, Barça has already won one title this season, taking the Catalan Super Cup last Tuesday, while this coming Saturday at 8.00pm CEST they'll have a chance at some revenge — when they face Liceo again in the OK Liga opener at Riazor.

Q: Dynamic table name in entity framework linq I am currently using entity framework (.net 4) to read from a 3rd party database using LINQ statements.  Unfortunately, at compile time i do not know from which table i will be reading - in fact, new tables can be added to this database after my application is compiled.  The table name to read from will be passed as a string parameter to my method.
How should one approach this situation when the table name is not know at compile time?  i cannot even add these tables to my data model since they might not yet exist.  whilst i like the convenience of linq, i am after a simple approach.
thanks!

A: For the queries that can only be constructed at run-time and that will return types of different shapes, you're pretty much forced to craft and execute the SQL you want to run yourself.  DataContext.ExecuteQuery(string query, params object[] parameters) is going to be your friend.
You probably would already do this, but I would recommend keeping this portion of code isolated to one section of the code, where you execute the query, and then put the results into an strongly typed object before exposing it to other area's of your application.  Make sure you clean the table name too.


APIs–application programming interfaces–are the front-facing parts of an application that allow third parties to do something really, really interesting with that app. And when it comes to APIs and music programs, things are bloody fascinating.
1. Streaming rights: Before APIs, there were no online licensing rights allowing Internet radio or websites to stream music legally. APIs have enabled streaming to disrupt the iTunes music business model, said Begoc.
2. Data creation: In order to enable the music discoverability that Bourdoncle pointed to,Spotify bought The Echo Nest API. It uses The Echo Nest API internally on a product called Nestify to test advanced personalization of music tracks. Nestify analyzes a listener's playlist and categorizes it by major genres enjoyed, and can then create playlists based on which genre the listener is in the mood for or can help the listener discover partially or completely new playlists based on the listener's current music tastes.
3. Ecosystem development: As demonstrated through the projects listed below, APIs are enabling Spotify to create new music channels and help align music listening with other activities. Begoc gave the example of how date-matching app Tinder lets users find potential dates based on their common musical preferences in Spotify.
4. Connected music: The next frontier, Begoc says, is music everywhere. He points to the new partnership with Uber, enabled via API, that allows customers to stream their own music choices when riding in an Uber car.
Artists took home how much revenue last year?
The new interface is simple and purposeful, but really, REALLY ugly from what i've seen. I hope they do more work on the skin of it.

2017 Los Angeles Rams Regular Season
Los Angeles Rams at New York Giants: McVay expands playbook in dominating fashion
Is this what Rams fans were expecting? In their wildest dreams, maybe. But the LA Rams played fast and loose in an offensive effort that was practically flawless.
By Joey The Jerk@LaRamsRamsRams Nov 6, 2017, 3:30pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Los Angeles Rams at New York Giants: McVay expands playbook in dominating fashion
NorthJersey.com-USA TODAY Sports
Every week, I try to accept that the Los Angeles Rams simply aren't on a hot streak and they aren't just playing sub-par teams. But yeah, both of those things happen to be true. They're playing great football with the weakest schedule in the NFL. At this point, you're expecting the Rams to throw up 50 points on the road like it's no big deal.
To put it another way, the Rams played so well that they probably got the opposing team's coach fired. A team did that to the Rams last year and they went to the Super Bowl. But I'm most definitely getting ahead of myself.
Let's talk about what was expected and unexpected in their win against the Giants:
Expected: Aaron Donald got his, leading the confident defense
The defense had a bit of a rocky start, which is now becoming part of their personality as a defensive unit, but once they were locked in, they got the job done, causing three turnovers. DT Aaron Donald got a strip-sack that LB Connor Barwin recovered for the Rams, keeping the momentum on the Rams' side. There was a certain swagger to the defense that was really enjoyable to watch.
Unexpected: Coach McVay opened up the playbook — big time.
What was fascinating about the Rams' win against the New York Giants was how easy it looked. They were fun, risky, and yet they didn't turn the ball over once. The offense played like a team does in a sports movie after they struggle in the first half, and the protagonist gives a pep talk to the team in the locker room, reminding the team why they play the game... then they come out and play like they did when they were kids. However, the Rams weren't struggling. They came off a beat down of the Arizona Cardinals and were facing the exact type of team in the Giants who should have been playing like that.

— Cameron DaSilva (@camdasilva) November 5, 2017
Look at this play. I wasn't expecting stuff like this at all. I assumed that on the road, in the rain, McVay would be pushing the run. But this was super fun. Like, Tecmo Bowl fun. So, I'm not going to complain.
Expected: Robert Woods was the leading receiver in an offense where the love was spread to many offensive threats
Mr. Depenable finally got a touchdown for the Rams and then another one. As usual, he didn't put up gaudy numbers, 4 catches for 70 yards, but that's the point of the Rams offense -- everyone gets the ball. And so many players had a chance to shine. WR Tavon Austin had a 21 yard run from scrimmage, TE Gerald Everett grabbed a big catch, TE Tyler Higbee scored a TD reception, and RB Todd Gurley stormed into the end zone twice.
Unexpected: Jared Goff was unleashed and put up his most impressive game yet
What was Jared Goff asked to do this past Sunday? Well, pretty much everything. And his biggest requirement was not to turn over the ball, which he pulled off. And that feat was impressive considering that Goff doesn't play a lot in rainy conditions and the Gaints' defense is probably their strongest asset right now. But what I found to be most surprising about Jared Goff's performance was how he was able to hit all three levels. His screen passes were very effective considering the fantastic blocking his receivers were getting, and his mid-range passes were the usual fare from Goff (just look for Cooper Kupp and throw!). However, it was his deep throw to Sammy Watkins that really raised eyebrows. We've been waiting for that all season and have only seen it in glimpses.

Expected: the special teams unit was on fire
WR Pharoh Cooper is fun to watch during kickoffs. You know never know when he's going to do something special. And even though one of his breathtaking returns was called back on a penalty, his presence was still felt and the other special teams stars like K Greg Zuerlein were able to put points on the board. Which leads me to...
Unexpected: Cory Littleton blocked another punt
You know who blocks two punts in three weeks? Nobody. Well, except for LB Cory Littleton, who essentially poured salt on the wound of the Giants, who were just trying to get to the end of the game when Littleton blocked the punt. But let's give it up to Cory for busting his ass and making an almost impossible play happen twice in a season. Remarkable stuff.
As a Rams fan, you had to love every minute of this game. It was proof that these guys are part of something special. Yes, the opposing teams are going to be better in the coming weeks, but I believe that the LA Rams are up to the challenge.
I know it sounds crazy to some to think that the Rams could go 14-2. However, in my eyes, it wouldn't be unexpected. They're that good.

Chapter 231 - WWW-III
Mr. Wright thought he's outsmarting the enemy, what he didn't know was...-It was part of the plan that Jeff ordered them to implement. They divulge their true identity to make them wary and concentrate on disposing them before arrival at the dock. This way, they would not be prepared for the counterattack that's waiting for them upon arrival.
Sure enough, Mr. Wright had put all of his effort and planning at getting rid of the Elite team members, he had forgotten about the people that would be waiting for them when they arrive in Asia.
While the chief cook was cooking, one of the Mr. Wright gang members sneaked in and sprinkled some sleeping powder to the food when no one was watching. [ At least he thought no one was watching.]
As soon as the gang members left, one of the elite team members hurriedly dumped all the food that was sprinkled with sleeping powder. He then brought out the hidden batch of food identical to the one that was spiked to be served. Mr. Wright and his cronies were watching the whole time making sure that everyone had their fill of the spiked food.
The food was served to all the elite team members that were acting as a crew of M/V Harmony. Less than an hour later, everyone was all [supposedly] sleeping soundly in their cabin; except for the Captain of the vessel and one Abled Body who's maneuvering the ship into the channel.
Everything was going according to the planned, the Pilot of the vessel arrived at the anchorage to bring in the ship to the dock. Once they were in one-mile marker, the customs official boarded the craft as well it's a procedure to clear any vessels for entry at any port of call.
Customs official already knows Mr. Wright's true identity. However, for the plan to work they must act innocent while checking the landing documents of all the passenger and all the crews on board M/V Harmony.
Customs officer started checking, first one they checked were Mr. Wright and his cronies; everyone passed as planned. The officer issued them their landing permit without delay. This had made Mr. Wright's day; he has a big grin plastered on his way. He was afraid that they would find an issue with his fake documents, and he was sweating bullets as the officer checked.
Next to be checked would be all the crew of the vessel, but none was around, and the customs officer wasn't too happy. "Where's all your crew?" The customs officer asked the Captain of the ship innocently.
The Captain was already briefed ahead of time. Therefore he played along and called on the radio. "Chief Mate, It's the Captain, where's all the crew? Over!" However, it was dead silence at the other end of the radio call.
The Captain ordered the AB to check on everyone without delay. "Go see what's going on, I can't believe they left their post, and no one's on guard right now."
"Yes, Captain!" The AB rushed and left to check on everyone.
A couple of minutes later, he came back empty-handed with a worried look on his face. He went straight to the Captain, then whispered. "Captain there's a problem, everyone's sound asleep. I couldn't wake-up anyone no matter how hard I shook them."
"What do you mean all are sleeping?" The Captain acted surprised and was screaming at the AB.
"Sir! If you don't believe me, why don't you come along and check it for yourself." The AB retorted back to the Captain.
The Captain got up, "Mr. Officer, If you'll excuse me, I'm going to check and see what's going on. I will be right back, not more than a minute. " He's acting all agitated and worried for Mr. Wright and everyone to see.
The Customs officer nodded with agreement and continued going through the documents in front of him with a frown on his face. This had made Mr. Wright a little nervous and started sweating; he was afraid he would be found out. He decided to be out of sight of the Customs officer, "Sir! If I'm finished, may I go with the Captain to see if I could be of help." He anxiously requested and waited for the officer to reply.
When the Customs officer agreed, Mr. Wright hurriedly followed the Captain of the vessel toward the cabin area of the ship. Sure enough, the AB was telling the truth, everyone was sound asleep, and it looks like they were drugged in the process. 'How hard could it be to wake up a person if they were not under the influence of any kind?' That was the conclusion the Captain came up with to explain to the customs officer.
Mr. Wright was secretly smiling to himself. It's what he wanted to see; he needed to make sure that no one could stop them from embarking. The elite team that Jeff had put on board the vessel are all expert, and if they were awake, it would be hard to fight with them on the way out.
The Captain and Mr. Wright went back to the dining hall where the customs officer was jotting down something on the paper in front of him. He looked up to the two men coming with curiosity.
"I apologize, but it seems that all my crew was drugged and sound asleep. For whatever reason I'm not sure, I would need to do some investigations, it seems someone had played a joke on them.
What should we do about this situation?" The Captain asked innocently, showing concern on his face while waiting for the officer to reply.
"I tell you what, everyone that had received their documents and were cleared for landing, they could go ahead and leave if they want too. Especially the passengers, there's no need for them to stick around." The officer emphasizes the word 'leave' louder than usual.
"So, You-you-and you! All of you are clear to go, you may leave if you wanted too." He pointed to Mr. Wright and his cronies.
Mr. Wright was all smile once he heard the word they could leave. "Thank you!" He then went as fast as he can with a smirked on his face. All thought coming to his mind; the first is how he would make sure the Jeff and his family get what's they deserv.
"Ready or not, here I come! CEO Go and your family, be prepared for WWW-III" He mumbles to himself as he was walking down the gangway of the ship toward the dock where Jeff's and all the Authority waiting for him to step foot on the ground.
Meanwhile, the trap were all set for Mr. Wright and all of his cronies. Jeff, Ethan, and Ronald were positioned behind one of the cargo containers at the dock. On the other side where the Port Authority, Police crime prevention team headed by officer Garcia. Lastly at the other side of the pier is where the FBI version of Asia. The whole dock covered everywhere; there's no place in the earth and no way in hell that Mr. Wright would be able to scape this time.
The plan was to apprehend him and all his gang members as they set foot at the ground.
Mr. Wright walked down the gangway, as soon as he stepped foot on the ground, the Port Authority along with the Police was there waiting for him. "Mr. Wright! You are under arrest for the murder of. You have the right...

Q: Any obvious problems with this DIY home automation? I'd like to know if anyone can spot any serious electrical issues in what I'm trying to do from an electrical viewpoint.
Youtube Demo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmsdXMbd2vo
Short version:

*

*I have 220V relays in the house, connected to lights and 220V push buttons

*I want to add an Arduino-controller 220V relay connected to the first one to send short "pulses" of 220V to toggle the existing ones on and off

*By adding the Arduino-relay in parallel with existing switches i leave the original 'system' intact - if the Arduino stops working I can still use the lights normally, only losing the automation

*To detect the state of a light, I plan on using ACS712 hall-effect modules
I'm good with writing software, but a novice regarding the electrical side of things.

*

*Almost all lights are temporary push-buttons connected to a 220V relay

*Two locations in the house where all the wires are connected
adding a 220V relay in series with the normal light switches, connecting it to an Arduino

*A 30 amp current sensor is used for detecting the state of the light switch

*Each Arduino (or at least one in a pack of many Arduinos - where one won't be enough) Ethernet shield is used to send/receive data over a closed network (not accessible from LAN/internet)

The 220V relay that are set up right now were put into place to allow lights to be opened or closed from multiple places from a room. Think of the relay as a 3-sided control circuit

*

*One side has the 220V mains coming in

*One side has the push buttons that work on 220V

*One side has the output to the light bulb

The 220V is an on/off relay. Each time any button is pushed, it toggles its state, as long as you press a button more than 0.1 seconds (so it said in the relay manual).
My electrician installed the 220V relay, it is not 'normally open' or 'normally closed'. If power goes down and then comes back the lights return to their previous states.
The Arduino-relay has a 5V side for the Arduino, a 220V side for the mains and each relay is rated to 20A at 220V. From my calculations a 100W light bulb is around 0.5A, and I am using 30W lights so I have plenty of margin for error.
To trigger the 220V mains relay all I have to do is use a normally-open Arduino-relay and trigger the closed state for more than 0.1 seconds. I just need to send a 220V "pulse" to the 220V relay.
This is the main reason that the lights will still work as long as power is kept. All the Arduino can fail and the normal lights will work as usual, I will only lose the remote-control possibility and advanced scheduling/scripting.
More information posted on the home improvement board but what I did not post here is not as important from an electrical point of view.

Forgot to put in the picture:

*

*the top red line coming to the 220v relay is from the mains

*the red lines on the left and down side of the 220v relay always have 220v on them.
** Youtube Demo **

A: Obvious problems: Well yes. As drawn right now, there is some confusion but:
1: Either you don't get 220V to your secondary relay (The one connected to the Arduino) because the line leaving your primary relay going left is a trigger signal line, rather than a power line OR
2: You DO get 220V to your secondary relay and you cannot trigger your first relay because the line leaving your primary relay going left is a power line, rather than a trigger signal line.
My first recommendation would be to redraw your diagram with clear labels on all wires.

Only about 15% of the people who have not received treatment for the disease develop stage 2 problems.
In most states only 2% of deer ticks carry Lyme disease. In the New England states, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, however, up to 50% of deer ticks are infected with Lyme disease. But even in these high-risk areas, only 1% of children bitten by a deer tick get Lyme disease.
Use repellent: Put insect repellent that contains permethrin or picaridin on clothing to repel ticks and other insects. These repellants are more effective than DEET against ticks. Examples of these products include, Duranon, Permanone, and Congo Creek Tick Spray. Apply it to clothes, shoes, and socks before your child gets dressed. You can also put it on other outdoor items (mosquito screen, sleeping bags). Do not put this kind of repellent on the skin because it does not work well on skin.
Sometimes the tick's body comes off but the head stays in the skin. You must remove the head also. Use a sterile needle to remove the head just as you would to remove a sliver.

Q: Understanding multivariate orthonormal polynomial bases I have recently started to delve into the construction and parameterization of orthogonal polynomial bases (e.g., for polynomial chaos expansion) and there are some things that aren't yet clear to me, or that I am not confident in understanding fully. I was thus hoping that you might confirm or clarify some uncertain points for me. In advance: sorry, this is a long post, but I hope most of it might be trivial for experienced folks, and I want to be thorough.
From what I have gathered so far, using a polynomial basis is similar to a Fourier expansion, just that instead of using sin functions, one uses polynomials of different degrees. So if I have a univariate variable $x \in \mathbb{R}$ and a function $f(x) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, I could for example approximate it with a polynomial of third degree $D=3$:
$$f(x) \approx a_3x^3 + a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0$$
which one could reformulate as follows:
$$f(x) \approx \begin{bmatrix}
           a_0 &
           a_1 &
           a_2 &
           a_3
         \end{bmatrix}
         \begin{bmatrix}
           1 \\
           x \\
           x^2 \\
           x^3
         \end{bmatrix}
         $$
where the first vector are the polynomial coefficients $a$ and the second vector is the polynomial basis, which one could interpret as a four-dimensional space in which each point corresponds to a specific set of four coefficients. One could also use a different polynomial basis, e.g., Hermite polynomials instead:
$$f(x) \approx \begin{bmatrix}
           a_0 &
           a_1 &
           a_2 &
           a_3
         \end{bmatrix}
         \begin{bmatrix}
           1 \\
           x \\
           x^2 -1 \\
           x^3 - 3x
         \end{bmatrix}
         $$
which would of course affect the coefficients for this approximation as well. Is this correct so far?

Now if I extend this problem to more dimensions, say $N=2$, so that $X \in \mathbb{R}^N$ and $f(X) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^N$ instead, and if I assume the dimensions are independent, I get (with a Hermite polynomial basis):
$$f(X) = \begin{bmatrix} f_1(x_1) \\ f_2(x_2) \end{bmatrix} \approx
\begin{bmatrix} a_{1,3}(x_1^3-3x_1) + a_{1,2}(x_1^2-1) + a_{1,1}x_1 + a_{1,0} \\ a_{2,3}(x_2^3-3x_2) + a_{2,2}(x_2^2-1) + a_{2,1}x_2 + a_{2,0} \end{bmatrix}$$
which one could reformulate like this:
$$f(X) \approx \begin{bmatrix}
           a_{1,0} &
           a_{1,1} &
           a_{1,2} &
           a_{1,3} & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
           0 & 0 & 0 & 0 &a_{2,0} &
           a_{2,1} &
           a_{2,2} &
           a_{2,3}
         \end{bmatrix}
         \begin{bmatrix}
           1 \\
           x_1 \\
           x_1^2 -1 \\
           x_1^3 -3x_1\\
           1 \\
           x_2 \\
           x_2^2 -1 \\
           x_2^3 -3x_2\\
         \end{bmatrix}
         $$
where I suppose one could combine the two zeroth-order dimensions of the polynomial basis:
$$f(X) \approx \begin{bmatrix}
           a_{1,0} &
           a_{1,1} &
           a_{1,2} &
           a_{1,3} & 0 & 0 & 0\\
           a_{2,0}  & 0 & 0 & 0 &
           a_{2,1} &
           a_{2,2} &
           a_{2,3}
         \end{bmatrix}
         \begin{bmatrix}
           1 \\
           x_1 \\
           x_1^2 -1 \\
           x_1^3 -3x_1\\
           x_2 \\
           x_2^2 -1 \\
           x_2^3 -3x_2\\
         \end{bmatrix}
         $$
Once again, is this correct so far?

Now if I assume the dimensions are not independent, things get more foggy for me. From what I think I understand is that in case of dependence between two dimensions, we expand the polynomial basis with the products of all dimension pairs, so we obtain (for brevity, monomial basis again, with $N=2$ and $D=2$:
$$basis = \begin{bmatrix}
           1 \\
           x_1 \\
           x_2 \\
           x_1x_2\\
           x_1^2 \\
           x_2^2 \\
           x_1^2x_2 \\
           x_2^2x_1 \\
           x_1^2x_2^2 \\
         \end{bmatrix}
         $$
Where each dimension in canonical space $n=1,2$ only has coefficients $a_{n,...}$ in dimensions of the basis which it is included in and is zero everywhere else (i.e., dimension $n=1$ has non-zero coefficients only in dimensions which are either $1$ or include $x_1$ in some form [particularly relevant for $N > 2$]). I have also come across 'truncations of the expansion' which have a 'lower triangular structure', which seems to remove the dimensions whose combined order is higher than a threshold, e.g.:
$$basis = \begin{bmatrix}
           1 \\
           x_1 \\
           x_2 \\
           x_1x_2\\
           x_1^2 \\
           x_2^2
         \end{bmatrix}
         $$
where we only retained dimensions of summed $order \leq 2$, so that $x_1^2x_2$ ($order = 3$), $x_2^2x_1$ ($order = 3$), and $x_1^2x_2^2$ ($order = 4$) are omitted.
I assume this is what this 'lower triangular structure' is about? Where the left figure would correspond to the $N=2,D=3,independent$  case from above (omitting all cross-terms), and the right figure would correspond to the $N=2, D=2, dependent$ case discussed just now (blue marks terms which exist, white marks terms we omitted)?

Is this correct? Is there something I have missed?

A: The question is a little long and hard to follow (it would be better if it was posted as multiple different questions), but from what I can see this is what you want:
Yes, when you have a multi-variate system you need to multiply the polynomial bases together as you have described. Yes, this can create a really large basis is in the end. This phenomenon is known as the curse of dimensionality. If you want a multivariate polynomial basis of dimension = 2, you would be required to multiple your two families of polynomials together, and ensure that the indices of the polynomial terms add to being $\leq 2$
This can obviously explode in size very quickly, so in order to get around this we can consider structures like the one you propose, the lower triangular structure. This is all about trying to find the most efficient representaion using this multi-variate polynomial basis. Yes, if the two dimensions are independent, you wouldn't need to multiply the basis together. BUT, if they are not you will need to, and often not all the terms will contribute equally as well.
Finding this most efficient representation is no easy task, and is an active area of research. But it would seem like often a lot of higher order terms can be ignored with negligible modelling error. However, this is not a mathematical guarantee.
Hope this helps.

Nasdaq has suspended exchange delisting rules
Police: 44-year-old man shot, killed in San Francisco on Saturday
The Nasdaq: Exchange suspends rules that would remove securities from the board if they keep trading below a dollar
Bernadette Tansey, Chronicle Staff Writer
As the share prices of hundreds of companies plunged close to pocket-change levels in the market meltdown, the Nasdaq exchange suspended rules that would have forced those securities off the board if they kept trading below a dollar.
Citing "almost unprecedented turmoil" in world financial markets, Nasdaq put on hold some of the minimum requirements that companies must ordinarily meet to maintain a listing on the exchange. Under interim orders that expire Jan. 16, companies will not be delisted if their share price or total market value stalls below Nasdaq standards.
"Nasdaq believes that this temporary suspension will permit companies to focus on running their businesses, rather than satisfying market-based requirements that are largely beyond their control in the current environment," the exchange's managers said in an Oct. 16 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC approved the temporary rule change and allowed it to take effect that day.
The three-month reprieve will give troubled companies some breathing space to regroup, raise capital and possibly revive their valuations, said Jonathan MacQuitty, a partner in health care investment firm Abingworth Management Inc. in Menlo Park.
Securities forced off the main board can trade over the counter, but this can lead to dwindling share purchases, MacQuitty said. "You get less investor visibility," he said. "You enter a sort of no-man's-land where liquidity is low and investor interest is low."
Nasdaq's move will benefit companies in the Bay Area, which is rich in the technology companies traded on the exchange. Among the Bay Area companies exiled to "bagel land" - where share prices are approaching zero - are small biotech companies such as Hana Biosciences Inc. of South San Francisco and tech firms such as semiconductor equipment manufacturer Aviza Technology Inc. of Scotts Valley (Santa Cruz County).
By Nasdaq's count, the number of securities trading below $1 on the exchange rose from 64 to 227 in the 12-month period that ended Sept. 30. By Oct. 9, the number had risen to 344. In addition, another 300 Nasdaq-listed securities were trading between $1 and $2. About 3,100 companies offer shares on the exchange.
"Nasdaq believes that during this time there was no fundamental change in the underlying business model or prospects for many of these companies, but the decline in general investor confidence has resulted in depressed pricing for companies that otherwise remain suitable for continued listing," exchange officials said in their SEC filing. The exchange will continue delisting companies that fail to maintain other standards, such as filing current financial statements with the SEC.
Ordinarily, companies receive a warning when they face delisting because the minimum closing bid for their shares has dropped below $1 for 30 consecutive business days or because their market value drops too low. They can often delay the action during a grace period while they try to return to compliance, or appeal. Under the temporary suspension, proceedings will be frozen against companies that had already received warnings.
The lululemon Dual Pouch Wristlet is this season's...
The rule suspension is not unprecedented. Nasdaq took the same action after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, caused a broad financial downturn.
The New York Stock Exchange, on the other hand, has never shelved its listing requirements in a crisis. Scott Peterson, a spokesman for the exchange, said the current financial turmoil is no exception. "We have no plans to suspend our rules," he said.
In general, the companies trading on the New York exchange are larger and better capitalized than companies in general, Peterson said. As of Sept. 30, the New York Stock Exchange had delisted 19 companies for bankruptcy or noncompliance with standards. Three of those occurred this week.
"The numbers are likely to rise through the final quarter," Peterson said.
