Madagascar's president sacks PM
Country falls into political turmoil as opposition attempts to set up unity government.
Rajoelina took power in a military backed coup in March 2009 [AP]
But that deal and a succession of others have fallen through as Rajoelina and three former presidents squabble over the division of key jobs in a consensus government.
Cecile Manorohanta, Madagascar's vice prime minister and a close ally of Rajoelina, will take over the premiership indefinitely.
Analysts said Rajoelina's move would dent hopes for the unblocking of aid worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Unity government
Hours earlier, members of Madagascar's opposition said they would form a unity government within days and called on the military to stay in their barracks.
Albert Zafy, the country's former vice-president, said: "We are going to put in place our ministers and we ask the armed forces to remain neutral and stay in their barracks."
Rajoelina this week called elections and said power-sharing talks were dead.
Zafy was among opposition leaders who returned to the island after Rajoelina's administration lifted a ban on their re-entry following talks in Mozambique.
"Rajoelina has reneged on his signature. We can no longer trust him to run the country," Zafy said.
Rajoelina, who toppled former leader Marc Ravalomanana with military support in March, said on Thursday it would be impossible to share power with political enemies.
He said the international community no longer needed to involve itself in Madagascar's affairs.
In a statement seen by Reuters on Friday, France has called for speedy, transparent elections that are monitored by an independent electoral commission and foreign observers.
While France, Madagascar's former colonial power, did not condemn Rajoelina outright, it urged all parties to resume dialogue in search of a consensus solution.
Foreign countries have said they will re-engage with Madagascar only after a consensus government is established and a road map to free and credible elections is in place.
Rajoelina has not set a timetable for a presidential election which, under the terms of the original power-sharing deal, must be held by late 2010.

Massachusetts Court Affirms Summary Judgment to Player, Coaches, and Refs in Hockey Player's Personal Injury Lawsuit
December 9, 2019 | by John C. Manoog III
In a Cape Cod personal injury lawsuit, the essential question is, did the defendant behave in a reasonably prudent manner under the circumstances? These types of cases can be very fact-specific, as what constitutes "reasonable" can vary substantially from situation to situation.
For example, generally speaking, it would not be considered reasonable to run into another person with the intent of knocking an object out of his or her possession. However, the same conduct might be considered acceptable within the confines of two teams playing a rough sport – hockey, for example. Still, even in a game, there are situations in which a negligence or recklessness claim may be viable. As stated above, it all depends on the circumstances.
Facts of the Case
In a recent Massachusetts appeals court case, the plaintiff was a hockey player who brought suit against the defendants (the plaintiff's coach, a player on an opposing team, the opposing team's coach, two referees, and others), seeking monetary compensation for injuries he allegedly incurred while participating in a hockey game. Both the plaintiff and the opposing player whose blades allegedly cut the plaintiff's wrist during the game were 17 years old at the time of the incident giving rise to the litigation.
Although the plaintiff offered evidence to the effect that the other player had illegally "charged" him instead of merely "checking" him (which was allowed under the rules of the game), the trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants. The plaintiff sought further review from the appellate court.
The Court's Decision on the Issues
On appeal, the appeals court affirmed the lower court's granting of summary judgment to the defendants. The court began its analysis by observing that hockey is a game in which players must wear protective gear from head to toe, players wear sharpened steel blades on their feet, and checking is a fundamental aspect of the game. The court then noted that the state supreme court has previously held that those who participate in sports owe each other only a duty to refrain from reckless misconduct. Recklessness, of course, is different from negligence and requires proof of conduct that goes beyond what would constitute mere carelessness.
Applying that standard to the case at bar, the reviewing tribunal found that summary judgment on the plaintiff's negligence claim against the defendants was proper. In so holding, the court ruled that no rational view of the record could support a finding that the defendant player's conduct was reckless, i.e. constituting extreme misconduct that was outside the range of the ordinary activity inherent in the sport of hockey. The court likewise found that the plaintiff's negligence, gross negligence, and recklessness claims against the remaining defendants did not raise a triable issue of fact.

INDIANAPOLIS—Education as a form of philanthropic giving and its role in the quest for faith will be the subject of the eighth annual Thomas H. Lake lecture presented by the Lake Institute on Faith & Giving at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.
Dr. Richard Gunderman, noted Indiana University professor and physician and author of We Make a Life by What We Give, will explore how education's shared journey to understanding ourselves and the world is one of the most powerful opportunities to give and to pursue fulfilling lives serving others.
In his remarks, "The Undiminished Flame: Education, Giving and the Quest for Faith," Gunderman will discuss how intangible gifts such as knowledge and education grow through giving, and how the gift of education shapes our view of the world and the lives we are called to lead.
Gunderman is Professor of Philanthropic Studies, Radiology, Pediatrics, Medical Education, Philosophy and Liberal Arts at Indiana University.
The lecture will be held on Thursday, March 24, 2011 at 5:00 p.m., followed by a reception and book signing at 6:00 p.m. Both events will be at the University Place Conference Center & Hotel, 850 W. Michigan Street, on the Indiana University—Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus. The events are free and open to the public, but advance registration is encouraged. Registration is available at http://www.philanthropy.iupui.edu/LakeFamilyInstitute/thomas_lake.aspx or by calling 317-278-8955.

Couple give birth to other people's babies in 'heartbreaking' IVF mix-up
A couple gave birth to twins, thinking they were theirs, only to later discover that there was an IVF mix-up and the woman had been implanted with two other women's babies.
The Asian American couple, from Queens in New York, were forced to give up their babies after the mistake was discovered, a lawsuit claims.
The couple, named in court documents only as A.P. and Y.Z., realised something could be wrong when they were told they were carrying two boys instead of the girls they had been expecting. However, they were told there's a possibility there had been a mistake on the sonogram.
However, the couple realised they had been implanted with the wrong embryos when they gave birth to twin boys who were a different race on March 30. Tests showed the babies were not genetically related to the couple, or to each other.
The Asian American couple were desperate to have a child that they had spent over $100,000 on doctors' fees, medication, lab expenses and travel costs, according to the New York Post. But their dreams were shattered and they had to give up both children after discovering they aren't biologically theirs.
It was later discovered that a couple from California were the biological parents of one of the boys. Anni and Ashot Manukyan, from Glendale, had to fight a custody battle to be able to take their son from the Asian American couple who bore the child, by which time he was already six weeks old.
Anni and Ashot Manukyan are also suing Los Angeles CHA Fertility Center over the error. Anni Manukyan told a press conference: "Who wants to meet their child in the lobby of a hotel? It was heartbreaking. It was terrible."
Their lawyer Adam Wolf said the case was "one of the worst embryo-related tragedies in US history."
Anni said she found out she had also been implanted with an embryo from an unknown woman, but it did not result in pregnancy. She said: "CHA robbed me of my ability to carry my own child, my baby boy, and be with him in the first moments of his life."
The couple implanted with the wrong embryo said the experience has left them with "permanent emotional injuries from which they will not recover," Metro UK reports. The parents of the second twin have not come forward publicly.
So far, the clinic has not yet commented on the case.

Abstract German and Chinese students took part in four experiments. In Experiment 1, which was based on the Sperling paradigm, the participants were asked to report as many digits as possible from a briefly presented matrix. In contrast to previous experiments which had made use of Latin letters, the Chinese clearly outperformed the Germans this time. In Experiment 2, memory span for digits and Latin letters was measured. With Latin letters, the Germans achieved higher scores than the Chinese. The opposite was true for digit memory span. Taken together, the results indicate that performance in the Sperling task is not solely determined by encoding efficiency but also by rehearsal speed. In Experiment 3, the participants had to recognize only one item from briefly exposed stimulus displays. Besides Latin letters, language-specific stimuli were used consisting of combinations of letters for Germans and components of Chinese characters for Chinese. Based on the data from Experiment 3, two language-specific item sets comperable in terms of task difficulty, were chosen for use in the Sperling task in Experiment 4. Under these conditions, there was no significant difference in the overall level of performance between the two language groups. Performance was influenced, however, by the position of the items to be reported and this in a slightly different way in each language group. We discuss to what extent reading habits influenced the allocation of attention and adaptive processes caused differences in item recognition.; German and Chinese students took part in four experiments.

Brent Roam: From Slasher Films to Sunday Morning Salvation at the Tivoli
Posted By Nicholas Phillips on Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 11:00 AM
Brent Roam, founder of U-City Family Church
On Sunday, September 18, for the first time ever, the Tivoli Theatre in the Loop will begin renting out its space to a religious congregation: the U-City Family Church.
Other cinemas across the country have been doing this for years, including the local Wehrenberg chain (its Des Peres 14 Cine has hosted a start-up church since August).
But the venue isn't the most interesting part about the church in the Tivoli. It's the pastor: He's a former Rhodes scholar and B-horror flick actor who now practices law at Bryan Cave. His name is Brent Roam.
The 40-year-old Roam comes from preacher lineage. He says his granddad, a boxer and bus mechanic, launched a "hard-core, super-strict" Pentecostal church in Wellston back in 1948.
Interpretation of the Bible was literal; movies, dances and baseball games were forbidden. That's how Roam's father once got in deep do-do: He pedaled his bike into the Loop to see a movie. (Yes, at the Tivoli!)
But when he grew up, Roam père became a Christian minister himself. He moved to Bridgeton to raise a family, which came to include his son, Brent.
While at Pattonville High School, Brent Roam became good at two things: wrestling (he rose to team captain) and questioning the Pentecostal faith in which he'd been raised. After studying at UMSL and Mizzou, he received a Rhodes scholarship. It was at Oxford that Brent Roam became "a complete non-believer."
"I was asking questions," he recalls, "and I didn't think religion had good answers."
Thus began a peripatetic period of artistry. First, he toured with a theater troupe to India, where he played the Fool in King Lear.
Brent Roam acted in this movie.
Next, he moved to Los Angeles, where he landed some gigs acting in commercials for Kent cigarettes, Mustang and McDonald's. He was cast major roles in horror films such as Toolbox Murders and Tremors 4 and appeared in the first two seasons of The Shield.
At the time, he was also singing lead vocals for the alt-country outfit Slydell. He still has the tattoo on his arm to prove it. (After Slydell disbanded, the back-up singers became The Watson Twins; other members joined Beck and Everest.)
But for all his success in music and acting, Roam says, he was miserable. He wasn't much into drugs, although he drank some. He felt he had "no moral compass."
Then, in 2004, his father died of a rare blood disease.
"It was a dark time, to be honest," he recalls.
One day at a bookstore, he picked up a copy of C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity and flipped it over to the back cover. Anthony Burgess, author of the famously macabre novel A Clockwork Orange, had written a glowing blurb for the book.
"I thought, 'If he likes it, I should give it a shot.'"
So he did. And what followed was a full-blown conversion experience, which Roam acknowledges "sounds bizarre to folks who've not experienced it."
He tracked down a girl who'd come see his band play. Her name was Rebecca. She was nine years his junior, and she'd never left his mind. Within a year, they were married. Roam earned his law degree at Arizona State University, and the couple moved back to St. Louis in 2008, where Roam was hired as a commercial litigator for Bryan Cave.
Encouraged by mentors, he decided to "plant" his own church. But he needed a venue. So he approached the management of the Tivoli.
"I was a little hesitant," he confesses. "I didn't want to come off as a weirdo. But they put me at ease, and they were far more enthusiastic than I ever dreamed of. And, they weren't doing anything on Sunday mornings anyway."
And so an irony came to pass: Where once his father entered and got punished by an intolerant church, Brent Roam entered and created a tolerant one.
Brent and Rebecca Roam
Services will begin at 10 a.m. every Sunday in the main auditorium, with music performed by The St. Louis Big Band, a horn-heavy swing ensemble (Roam says they'll be playing an "eclectic, soulful mix").
The meat of the service, Roam says, will focus on "the core principles that are shared among Christians from every denomination throughout history."
The Loop may not seem a natural place for a church: It's where you get a tatt, drop money on clothes, get drunk, pick up a "tobacco" pipe or comics -- in short, it's commercial and hedonistic, with at least a remnant of anti-establishment ethos. What it ain't is a model of Christian decorum.
But that's precisely why Roam wants to be "embedded" here. And he's ready to talk to anybody willing to walk into the Tivoli. Quoth he:
Having been a complete agnostic for so long, I have a sense of respect and understanding for people who completely disagree with me. And I'm perfectly happy to enjoy them and respect them and love them and appreciate where they're coming from. Even though we disagree about the nature of God. And I think that's a particularly helpful position to take in U. City in this time. There's nothing wrong with people being skeptical. It's good for people to question things and deeply evaluate truth claims about nature of God. Especially with the university here. This is a time when students are exploring these questions.

Q: Metric Spaces: Uniform Convergence i've entered my next year after having resat the previous year and i feel slightly rusty. i'm now reading metric spaces and would like some clarification in particular about uniform convergence with metric spaces.
so!

Let X be a set and (Y,d) a metric space; For a sequence of functions $f_n:X \rightarrow Y$ to converge pointwise we need there to exist a function $f: X \rightarrow Y%$ such that $(\forall x\in X)~[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} d(f_n(x),f(x))=0]$

so for my understanding for all the elements in $X$ the sequence of functions needs to converge to a single function. where as Uniform convergence criteria is that

$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sup_{x \in X} d(f_n(x),f(x))=0$

IE the largest elements of the sequence  of functions converge to the largest element in $f$ (if im remembering correctly please by all means correct me i appreciate it)
but onto my main issue.
from an example;

let $f_n:[0,\infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, f_n(x) = \frac{nx}{n+x}.$ then $f_n\rightarrow f$ pointwise (this makes sense) to $f(x)=x, x \geq 0$ but $f_n$ does not converge uniformly since
$$|f_n \left( \frac{n}{2} \right)-f \left( \frac{n}{2} \right)|=\frac{n}{6}\geq \frac{1}{6}$$

so in the above case we had a value of x in $[0, \infty),$ in which $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sup_{x \in X} d(f_n(x),f(x)) \neq 0$
how did they find this value of x is my question.
any help would be greatly appreciated

A: The idea is to find some value of $x$ so that we can show
$$
\sup_{x\in [0,\infty)}|f_n(x)-f(x)|\not\to 0
$$
one way to do this is examine some sequence of $x_n$'s for which the difference
$$
|f_n(x)-f(x)|
$$
tends to some nonzero constant in $n$, or worse, as they have found here, is unbounded in $n$.
In your example, an $x$ is selected to get the second, much worse case. Since along this sequence, we have
$$
\bigg|f_n\bigg(\frac{n}{2}\bigg)-\frac{n}{2}\bigg|=\frac{n}{6}\to \infty
$$
as $n\to \infty$. Thus, there is no way to insure the supremum over all $x$ tends to $0$.
If the question is how did they arrive at this $x$ in a nitty gritty sense, one idea would be to play around with some $x$ a function of $n$ with the proper order to insure the difference blows up in $n$. Here, if we take $x$ to be a linear function of $n$, then we will have a quadratic in $n$ in the numerator, and a linear function in $n$ in the denominator. That ought to do.
As for your interpretation of what
$$
\lim_{n\to \infty}\sup_{x\in X}d(f(x),f_n(x))=0
$$
means, this is really not right. What this is saying is that the worst the difference between $f(x)$ and $f_n(x)$ for any $x$ gets really small as $n$ gets really big.

A: You line "IE the largest elements of the sequence of functions converge to the largest element in f" is wrong. It not that the largest elements converge, it's that the largest difference between $f_n$ and $f$ converges to zero. Stated another way, $f_n\to f$ uniformly if for every $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $N\in\mathbb{N}$ such that
$$
d(f_n(x),f(x))< \varepsilon, \quad \text{for all $x\in X$ and all $n\ge N$.}
$$
Contrast this to having $f_n\to f$ pointwise, which just means for each $x\in X$ and $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $N\in\mathbb{N}$ such that
$$
d(f_n(x),f(x))< \varepsilon, \quad \text{for all $n\ge N$.}
$$
Indeed, in the definition of uniform convergence, the $N$ we find must work for any $x$, while in the definition of pointwise convergence, each $x$ gets it's own $N$.
As for your example, let's rewrite $f_n$ as
$$
f_n(x) = \frac{nx}{n+x} = \frac{x}{\frac{1}{n}(n+x)} = \frac{x}{1+\frac{x}{n}}.
$$
Now it is obvious that $f_n(x)\to x$ for every $x\in[0,\infty)$, so that $f_n\to f$ pointwise.
To see why $f_n\not\to f$ uniformly, it's instructive to try proving it. Okay, so let's fix $\varepsilon>0$. We want to find $N\in\mathbb{N}$ such that
$$
|f_n(x)-f(x)|< \varepsilon, \quad\text{for $x\in [0,\infty)$ and $n\ge N$}.
$$
Well
\begin{align*}
|f_n(x)-f(x)|
&= \left|\frac{nx}{n+x}-x\right|
= \frac{x^2}{n+x}.
\end{align*}
No matter how large $n$ is there will always be $x\in[0,\infty)$ so that the above is at least $\varepsilon$. Indeed, by taking $x=n/2$, the above becomes
$$
\frac{(n/2)^2}{n+(n/2)}=\frac{n}{6},
$$
which is clearly not less than $\varepsilon>0$ for large enough $n$.
I'm not sure why they made the particular choice of $x=n/2$. Setting $x=n$ works just as easily.

The fight for my liberation was won by poetic justice, because my words are verbs, so addictive and full of substance. Like those consumed by those whom choose to abuse instead of buying food. The def, dumb, and blind think I'm rude and can't see that my attitude came with these views.
So with genuine love I peer down from above. These eyes have seen all. The good, the bad, the ugly weak links who made the whole team fall.
Lips locked like safes full of stock. I am delicate with my rhetoric. Hunger games inherited from the veterans caused hunger pains inspiring youthful negligence.
What's up Doc? How you like your own medicine? Communities overwhelmed with grief and suffering now everybody's on medicine. Stealing prescriptions, dealing prescriptions, making a killing off filling prescriptions.
The devil wears prada, I done been to hell and back forever burned and charred by those once held close to my heart who left me scarred.
Hanging on by threads in a field of dreams like modern day scare crows. In this modern day jim crow please. Look out for the railroads. Go! Picking up momentum like the little engine that could. Turnt a bad situation good and made it out the hood.
Where liquor stores decorate every corner and little kids are forced to play grown ups.
Where grass is a thing of the past and alley cats fight for their lives over trash.
Like my pen is white-out I'm writing my wrongs, illustrating my life in poems and songs.
Tasting hood success is bitter and sweet. Have you ever walked in designer shoes where drug paraphernalia litters the streets.
I was indicated by someone I trusted. Thank God for pen and paper, I was vindicated by poetic justice.

Girls will Rise Up with Michelle Obama, Meryl Streep for CNN documentary
CNN Films is producing a new film about girls overcoming incredible challenges to achieve their educations and change their own lives, with contributions from First Lady Michelle Obama, Meryl Streep, Freida Pinto, and CNN journalist Isha Sesay. Singer Andra Day's motivational anthem, 'Rise Up' will serve as the theme for the film. "We Will Rise: Michelle Obama's Mission to Educate Girls Around the World" featuring Meryl Streep, Freida Pinto, and Isha Sesay will premiere on CNN International on the International Day of the Girl during primetime in Asia, Europe, and Africa on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 6:00am, 12:00pm, and 3:00pm. All times Eastern. Around the world, more than 62 million girls are not in school, according to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). As girls grow into adolescence, cultural and familial pressures often make it harder for them to stay in school, though educating women correlates to lower rates of infant mortality, increased GDP, and greater economic security for families. "We are honored to have the contributions of the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, Meryl Streep, Freida Pinto, Andra Day, and our own Isha Sesay, for this inspirational film," said Amy Entelis, executive vice president of talent and content development for CNN Worldwide. The complete press release can be read here.

On June 26th, more than 400 colleagues — including Ministers of Health from 23 countries and USAID Administrator Dr. Rajiv Shah — gathered at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., to celebrate MCHIP's successes. Since 2008, in over 50 developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Program has worked to improve the health of women and their families. MCHIP supported programming in maternal, newborn and child health, immunization, family planning, nutrition, malaria and HIV/AIDS, and has been successful in taking high-level impact interventions to scale around the world.
Although the strategies for implementation have varied widely from country to country, dependent on contextual factors such as the strength of the health system, the relationship with the government, cultural factors, geography, etc., several key themes, were critical for success, regardless of region or intervention. During this event, we explored learning on three key themes-scale up, community level activities, and quality of service provision-from the broad experiences of MCHIP, as well as the broader reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health community.


Perry Noble pastors Newspring church in South Carolina. It is a thriving ministry. Recently, in his blog, he wrote about the next generation, and I thought it was worth sharing. I hope that this encourages you today!
#2 – The way the next generation will view and do church will be different than the way we do it today. They will fully know and comprehend how to reach out to themselves…and our role as a church should be to fund it and not fight it (that line is borrowed from Andy Stanley)!
#3 – The next generation seems to be way more serious about their walk with Jesus than my generation has ever been.
#4 – I believe those of us who are "more mature" (OLDER) should seek out those who are in their teens and listen to their questions and frustrations about life and church without coming down on them. If we will listen and patiently explain things there could be way less tension between generations in the church. Might does not make right. And…the "mature" people should always be the first to step into a relationship with the next generation!
#5 – I fully believe that the next generation has no earthly idea what God wants to do in them and through them…and if we will teach them to be fully surrendered on a daily basis that our children and grandchildren will see God do things we didn't even think were possible.
#6 – I believe the next generation is not content with borrowing the faith of their parents, they are asking questions and seeking to understand WHAT they believe and WHY they believe it…and them doing that is going to equip them to take the church to the next level (I Peter 3:15).
#7 – I believe the next generation is going to refuse to settle for the way things are…and that as their view of WHO God is begins to increase so will their expectation in regards to what He can do.

Freaky Fair Spins Giveaway Fortune At bgo Casino.
Remember when we told you about bgo Casino's brand new Fair Spins welcome offer? It sounded pretty good, huh? Now what if we told you that popular mobile casino site will also be giving away 1,000 Freaky Fair Spins between now and Halloween?
While it may sound too good to be true, that's exactly the promotion that you'll find waiting for you at bgo Casino for the rest of October as 100 players will each get their hands on 10 Fair Spins every day up until October 31st, when the Freaky Fair Spins promotion concludes.
In order to participate, all players need to do is open up the day's specially selected slot and see if they're one of the lucky winners selected at random to receive 10 Fair Spins. The slots in question are all Halloween-themed, with two creepy classics and their sequels providing the thrills and chills.
If you're unfamiliar with the two spooky slots and their sequels, rest assured that you're in for more treats than tricks. The Blood Suckers franchise is one of the most popular series ever developed by NetEnt and both games give players the opportunity to go vampire hunting for bloody big payouts.
The Halloween Fortune games from Playtech, meanwhile, are equally enjoyable and centre on the devilish business of a coven of witches. In these titles, players will find bonus rounds aplenty – with a fortune of free spins and multipliers up for grabs for player who toil and trouble their way through.
If you've got this far and are still completely in the dark about how Fair Spins work, fear not, for they are actually incredibly simple in practice. Essentially, a Fair Spin is identical to a regular free spin, albeit with the caveat that absolutely no wagering is required on any winnings generated. This means whatever you win is yours to keep, so don't miss this chance to win something for nothing!

Spend an evening with multiple Grammy winners and music legends, Peter Asher & Albert Lee, as they combine their talents for an evening of songs and stories at Fogartyville.
As one half of British Pop Duo Peter & Gordon, Peter Asher had numerous hits in the USA and around the world in the '60s. He was subsequently A&R Director for the Beatles' Apple Records, and became a legend as a Grammy-winning producer and manager of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and others. Albert Lee has been called "the ultimate virtuoso" by Eric Clapton, and is a Grammy-winning, 5x Guitar Player Magazine 'Country Guitar Player of the Year'. Albert had a 25-year run as Music Director for the Everly Brothers, has been a key band member for Joe Cocker, The Crickets, Emmylou Harris and Eric Clapton, and has worked with Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr and others.
Peter Asher & Albert Lee's history is one of song, and these duo storyteller shows will reflect that history and feature those songs. The songs that influenced them along with songs they influenced. From the Peter & Gordon catalogue, they will harmonize on A World Without Love, I Go To Pieces, and more. From Albert Lee's back pages, expect the Jimmy Webb penned title track from his new acoustic album, The Highwayman, Glenn Campbell's A Better Place, and the Jimmy Jones/Otis Blackwell classic Handy Man. Inspirations to both artists such as the Everly Brothers provide Crying in the Rain and Bye Bye Love, while from Buddy Holly comes Well, All Right. As Peter & Albert tell us stories of the travels that brought them to so many of the intersections along the road of music history, the two legends bring these timeless songs to life.
Thursday and Friday, November 21 & 22, 7pm
Tickets: $30 Members /$35 General Public

The 2018 DFB-Pokal Final decided the winner of the 2017–18 DFB-Pokal, the 75th season of the annual German football cup competition. The match was played on 19 May 2018 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

The final featured Bayern Munich, the record winners of the competition, and Eintracht Frankfurt, the runners-up of the previous season, making it a rematch of the 2006 final. Eintracht Frankfurt won the match 3–1 to claim their fifth cup title. If German Giants had won 2017-18 DFB Pokal , then VfB Stuttgart will get a  Qualification to 2nd Tier of European Football Play-offs as if Bayern  qualified for UEFA Champions League as if a Club win League and Cup , 6-placed team will directly get Qualified to UEFA Europa League and 7-placed team will get Qualification to 2nd Tier of European Football Play-offs.

As winners, Frankfurt earned the right to host the 2018 edition of the DFL-Supercup at the start of the following season, facing the champions of the 2017–18 edition of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich. Frankfurt also earned automatic qualification for the group stage of the 2018–19 edition of the UEFA Europa League.

Background

The match was the 22nd final for Bayern Munich, a competition record. Of the previous finals, Bayern had won on 18 occasions, also a competition record, and lost three times. Bayern's last final appearance was in 2016, where they won on penalties against Borussia Dortmund. Bayern were chasing a league and cup double, having won the 2017–18 Bundesliga in April 2018. Bayern had previously completed the double on 11 occasions (in 2013 as part of a treble), a record in Germany, most recently in 2016.

The final was the fifth for Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes as a player and manager, having come out of retirement in October 2017 following the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti. Heynckes won the final in 1973 as a player with Borussia Mönchengladbach, before losing his next two finals as a manager in 1984 (with Gladbach) and 2012 (with Bayern). Heynckes then won the 2013 final before retiring, securing the treble for Bayern, the first ever in German football. The final was the last match for Heynckes as a manager, with Frankfurt's Niko Kovač taking over Bayern for the 2018–19 season. Heynckes previously managed Frankfurt during the 1994–95 season, but is not remembered well at the club after being sacked nine months into his tenure following a poor campaign.

The match was the 8th final for Eintracht Frankfurt, with a record of four wins and three losses prior. Frankfurt last won the competition in 1988, the last major title for the club at the time, winning 1–0 against VfL Bochum. This was the second time Frankfurt have managed to reach consecutive finals, having previously done so in 1975. In the previous final, Frankfurt lost 1–2 to Borussia Dortmund.

The final was the second consecutive for Croatian manager Niko Kovač in his second full season with Frankfurt, previously accomplished by Dietrich Weise in 1975. Kovač took over as manager of Eintracht Frankfurt in March 2016, where he managed to keep Die Adler in the Bundesliga after winning the relegation play-offs against 1. FC Nürnberg. The match was the last for Kovač with Frankfurt, against his future employers Bayern Munich, where he took over as coach for the following season after signing a three-year contract. A win would also see Kovač become the fifth person to win the DFB-Pokal as a player and manager, having won the 2003 final as a player with Bayern, previously accomplished by Ludwig Janda (player in 1942 with 1860 Munich, manager in 1956 with Karlsruher SC), Alfred Schmidt (player in 1965 with Borussia Dortmund, manager in 1970 with Kickers Offenbach), Thomas Schaaf (player in 1991 and 1994, manager in 1999, 2004 and 2009, all with Werder Bremen) and Jupp Heynckes (player in 1973 with Borussia Mönchengladbach, manager in 2013 with Bayern Munich).

The final was the 138th match between Bayern and Frankfurt, with a record of 68 Bayern wins, 39 Frankfurt wins, and 30 draws prior. Of the prior matches, four had been in the DFB-Pokal, with Bayern winning thrice and Frankfurt winning once. This included the 2006 final, where Bayern won 1–0 via a goal from Claudio Pizarro, making the match the 8th final pairing to be repeated (on 11 occasions). Their most recent cup meeting was in the round of 16 of the 2009–10 season, where Bayern won 4–0. The sides met twice during season prior to the final, with Bayern winning both by a score of 1–0 away in the first meeting on 9 December 2017 and 4–1 at home in the second meeting on 28 April 2018.

Route to the final
The DFB-Pokal began with 64 teams in a single-elimination knockout cup competition. There were a total of five rounds leading up to the final. Teams were drawn against each other, and the winner after 90 minutes would advance. If still tied, 30 minutes of extra time was played. If the score was still level, a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner.

Note: In all results below, the score of the finalist is given first (H: home; A: away).

Bayern Munich

In the first round of the cup, Bayern faced third-division side Chemnitzer FC away. Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring for Bayern in the 20th minute, before Kingsley Coman scored the second in the 51st minute. Lewandowski completed a brace in the 60th minute, before Franck Ribéry scored the fourth for Bayern in the 79th minute. Defender Mats Hummels scored shortly before the end to seal the 5–0 win. In the second round, Bayern traveled to face RB Leipzig, the runners-up of the previous Bundesliga season. After going a man down with Naby Keïta sent off, Leipzig were awarded a penalty after Jérôme Boateng fouled Yussuf Poulsen in the box. Emil Forsberg converted the penalty past Sven Ulreich to give Leipzig the lead in the 68th minute. However, five minutes later Bayern equalised through a header by Thiago. After a goalless period of extra time, the match went to a penalty shoot-out. After the first nine penalties were all successful, Ulreich saved Timo Werner's shot to send Bayern through to the next round.

In the round of 16, Bayern were drawn at home against cup holders and fellow Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, who had knocked Bayern out in the semi-finals of the previous season. Boateng opened the scoring with a header in the 12th minute, before Thomas Müller doubled the lead for Bayern in the 40th minute. Andriy Yarmolenko reduced Dortmund's deficit with a goal in the 77th minute, but Bayern held on with a 2–1 win to advance. In the quarter-finals, Die Roten faced third-division side SC Paderborn away. Coman opened the scoring in the 19th minute, before Lewandowski increased Bayern's lead six minutes later. Joshua Kimmich scored the third for Bayern in the 42nd minute, with Corentin Tolisso adding to the scoring with a header in the 55th minute. Arjen Robben scored a late brace for Bayern to secure the 6–0 win.

In the semi-finals, Bayern were drawn away to fellow Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern began quickly, with Lewandowski completing a brace with goals in the 3rd and 9th minute. Lars Bender reduced the deficit for Leverkusen with a header seven minutes later. In the second half, Müller increased Bayern's lead with a 52nd minute strike. Thiago scored the fourth for Bayern in the 60th minute, before Müller completed a brace four minutes later. Leon Bailey got a goal back for Leverkusen in the 72nd minute, before Müller completed his hat-trick six minutes later to seal the 6–2 win, sending Bayern to the final.

Eintracht Frankfurt

In the first round, Eintracht Frankfurt were drawn away to fourth-division side TuS Erndtebrück. Frankfurt were a man down after David Abraham was sent off in the 23rd minute, but they took the lead 12 minutes later via a goal from Timothy Chandler. In the 72nd minute, Mijat Gaćinović doubled the lead for Eintracht, before Sébastien Haller scored three minutes later to secure the 3–0 win. In the second round, Frankfurt were drawn away against fourth-division side Schweinfurt 05. Haller opened the scoring for Frankfurt in the 14th minute, before completing a brace with a 58th minute strike. Marius Wolf extended the lead five minutes later, before Danny Blum sealed the 4–0 win for Frankfurt in the 85th minute.

Frankfurt were drawn away to 1. FC Heidenheim in the round of 16. After a goalless 90 minutes, Gaćinović put Frankfurt ahead in the 95th minute of extra time. However, Marc Schnatterer equalised for the hosts a minute later. In the 109th minute, Haller restored Frankfurt's lead, with the 2–1 win enough to see Frankfurt advance. In the quarter-finals, Eintracht were drawn at home against Mainz 05. Ante Rebić put Frankfurt ahead after 17 minutes, before an own goal from Alexander Hack saw the lead double for the hosts. Omar Mascarell increased Frankfurt's lead with a 62nd-minute goal, securing the 3–0 win.

In the semi-finals, Frankfurt were drawn away to Schalke 04. After a goalless first half, Frankfurt took the lead in the 75th minute via a backheel from Luka Jović. Despite a red card from Gelson Fernandes in the 81st minute, Frankfurt managed to hold on for the 1–0 win and spot in the final.

Match

Summary
Robert Lewandowski came close to putting Bayern ahead after eight minutes, with his free kick hitting the underside of the crossbar. Three minutes later, Ante Rebić dispossessed James Rodríguez, and put the ball past Sven Ulreich after a one-two with Kevin-Prince Boateng to give Frankfurt the lead going into half-time. Eight minutes into the second half, Lewandowski equalised for Bayern, finishing the cut-back from Joshua Kimmich, which took a slight deflection off Omar Mascarell. Eintracht regained the lead in the 82nd minute after Rebić completed his brace, getting past Mats Hummels and Niklas Süle to lift the ball over Ulreich. In the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time, Mijat Gaćinović sealed the victory for Eintracht, putting the ball into an empty net after Ulreich had come forward for a corner in the final moments.

Historical Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon, Pesticide, and Metal Contamination in Clam Bayou, Florida

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), pesticide, and metal contamination in estuarine sediments often results from runoff of residential and commercial developments that are adjacent to coastal areas. This study examines contaminants in surface sediments of Clam Bayou, St. Petersburg, Florida. The purpose was to examine the spatial distribution of contaminants, to relate contaminant concentrations to sediment type, to determine potential sources of contamination, and the history of deposition. Contaminant concentrations were compared with those in sediments from Terra Ceia Bay, which is part of the Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve in Lower Tampa Bay. Terra Ceia Bay, therefore served as a control or reference site for the present study. Historical patterns of contaminant deposition in Clam Bayou also were examined using three sediment cores, and the cores were dated using 210Pb analyses. The contaminant concentrations in surface sediments from mangroves, stormwater channels, and open-water areas within the estuary were examined. PAH, pesticide, and metal concentrations as well as organic matter content were assayed in the top 5 cm of sediment in the surface survey, and at 4-cm intervals in sediment cores to a depth of approximately 60 cm in each core. The surface sediments revealed higher percentages of organic matter and contaminant concentrations in mangrove sediments, followed by open-water sediments and lastly, channel sediments in Clam Bayou. Contaminant ! xiv! concentrations were positively correlated with organic matter content in sediments, suggesting that organic matter might bind constituents. An additional extended spatial survey of metals and pesticides within the mangrove sediments did not reveal contaminant distribution patterns. Based on criteria from MacDonald (1994) and MacDonald (2000) for benthic toxicity for sediment dwelling-organisms, a majority of contaminant concentrations exceeded thresholds for benthic toxicity, and some concentrations exceeded Florida Department of Environmental Protection (2005) thresholds for soil cleanup target levels. In comparison to the Terra Ceia reference site, contaminant concentrations in Clam Bayou were significantly higher, with the exception of chromium, which showed high concentrations in sediments of Terra Ceia. The sediment-core analyses showed accumulation rate increases for 1 metal, 4 pesticides, and 8 PAHs, and a decrease in accumulation rates for 1 metal, 1 pesticide, and 3 PAHs from 1965 to 2012. Peaks in pesticide concentrations corresponded to widespread popularization of products as well as local application. For example, a noteworthy trend was visible in p,p'-DDT and its breakdown products, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDE, which increased at approximately 1940.

These are major systems, with certified system administrators on-staff, yet they have fallen victim to crypto-ransomware.
These are just two systems that were hit, and any random search will find more. Today's electronic systems are vulnerable to these attacks, mainly because system managers have become complacent and are not prepared for this type of attack.
Malware locks your computer and then comes the ransom demand. Think about that for just a minute. If you are a healthcare facility you must have access to your data right now, and your business cannot function without your data. So what are you willing to pay to get access to you data again? That depends on the value of your company and how much you care about HIPAA compliance.
How can you protect your company? The first step, is to have a system assessment. You might think, Well that will certainly encroach on the budget. This is the kind of thinking that could have you falling victim to ransomware and then having to pay the ransom for your valuable data.
A system assessment will thoroughly assess the threats to your system and create an action plan to protect your system. It is simple, effective, and affordable. With Phoenix Synergy, you will feel confident when you open your budget to system/network security specialists that secure your network at several levels, from perimeter to deep internals, as well as run solid onsite and offsite backups with full business continuity in mind.
File server VSS snapshots throughout the day.
Phase 2: Perimeter security (Web and email proxy scanning).
Phase 3: Local dual-level security (antivirus & malware).
Upon completion of your three phased solution, follow-up with up to date user training, monitoring to ensure the security measures stay in place and up to date, security policies and procedures. Then you will be on you're the way to being prepared and protecting your company that you have worked so hard to create.

With all of the talk of PlayStation 5 and the next Xbox, BioWare has reassured fans that Anthem's progress will carry over into the next generation of gaming.
BioWare devs recently opened themselves up to questions in an AMA on Twitter with fans asking a range of questions concerning Anthem's endgame, the recent demo, and more. One fan in particular asked an important question regarding the next-generation of consoles and whether or not progress would carry over. Anthem's head of live service Chad Robertson spoke up, expressing that progress would indeed carry over with a simple "Always…".
Crossover between console generations isn't anything new but was never mandatory. It is nice to see a confirmation of this feature however with Microsoft making large pushes for cross-play integration, could this also allow for players to transfer between rival corporations similar to the way GTA V does?
This isn't very clear. If we're on PS4 can we transfer to either next gen console? Or only the same upgrade. GTA 5 allowed you to cross save anywhere from anywhere.
Anthem is set to release on February 22nd for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Let us know your thoughts on progress being transferable to next-gen consoles and more in the comments section below. As always don't forget to follow Don't Feed the Gamers on Twitter for 24/7 coverage of all things gaming and entertainment.

Propellerhead Balance is designed to be an all-in-one music production package. For those musicians who need a fast and easy way to get their instruments hooked up to their PC so that they can record, it should prove suitable. The package comes with Reason Essentials, a popular software solution for those who produce their own music. The integration of the two elements is a nice touch and most users should find that the package offers them quite a lot for the modest amount of money that the product commands.
The input/output box is small, weighing just less than 600 grams. All of the components are compatible with both Mac OS and Windows PCs.
The Propellerhead package is, to some extent, a studio in a box. The audio input/output box allows you to hook up your instruments, the included Reasons Essential allows you to record and produce your music. This should provide the majority users with everything they need to get started recording music. The input/output box is well designed. The main out and headphone volume both have large, easy to operate knobs. The device is also designed intelligently enough so that you don't have to plug-in and take out your devices when you switch. The input matrix allows you to leave your devices plugged in and to choose which devices are actually recording.
The device is powered by USB 2.0, so you don't have to worry about hooking up yet another power adapter. If you have a powered hub, the device will work with it, making it more convenient.
The input box is also great for guitar players. It has a virtual guitar and bass POD. This allows you to emulate the sound of several different types of heads, cabs and amps, so you have a lot of flexibility as far as defining your sound is concerned.
Reason Essentials provides you with just about everything you need to record. It includes effects, samplers, a drum machine and has an easy to use design. The interface looks like a rack. You can change it around as much as you want but, as you add more elements, you'll appreciate how convenient and easy to read this interface is.
The full version of Reason is a standard tool for professional music production. If you decide to upgrade to it, the Propellerhead audio input is compatible.
Propellerhead Balance has great latency numbers, meaning that you don't have to deal with annoying delays between playing and having your input recording. It's a solid digital audio workstation option in this regard.
The Reason software is so well-known and refined that most any musician should have an easy time with it, even if they haven't used it before. The interface is easy to understand. If you're not familiar with digital recording but have a background with hardware racks, you'll understand Reason very easily. It has a solid selection of effects and other enhancements, as well.
The box is very small. It should fit on most people's computer desk very easily and, if you have a different placement in mind, you won't need to run out and purchase new stands or a new desk to accommodate it. The sound it gives is impressive. The large knobs for the most important outputs are also great touches. It's easy to operate the interface while you're working and you don't have to fumble around to get access to the control you need.
Whether you want this for making scratch recordings or you want to use it as your main recording setup, you should be happy with the results. It's solidly professional and very well designed.

Winton's Woes
POH January 27, 2014 January 27, 2014 Culture
Tim Winton's latest book "Eyrie" is a curious, indulgent rant of a story of disillusionment and alienation, set in that fetid state of mining nirvana known as Western Australia. Winton's cynical critique of that never-ending boom and its grasping denizens comes via the main male character, Tom Keely.
Middle-aged Tom has been ejected from the environmental movement by his injudicious outspokenness. Licking his wounds on the top floor of a spec-built Fremantle high-rise, with the aid of alcohol and drugs, his laments bounce along in fits of stupor or engagement. Winton's gritty portrait of that seedy and seductive city makes Freo the main non-human hero of the book.
The story is too long with it's winding plot. Maybe Winton doesn't get serious editing these days? And his new party trick of repetitious recycling of clunky Aussie metaphors is like a dunny door in a gale. You quickly get annoyed by it. Like catching farts in a butterfly net. Flying like shit off a shovel. Nuttier than Queensland batshit. Bold as a mudlark. Loyal as a cattle dog. The ducks nuts. All examples from the book.
Truncated. Sentences. Are. Also. Annoying. Who said that was allowed? Ditto conversation without quotation marks, that other modish technique, which requires constant vigilance to see who's talking, if anybody. The maestro's over-written virtuosity (aka showing off?) gets in the way of the story. It kept me reading, but increasingly impatient. You have to wade through bucket-loads of colourful language and florid description. Ok, scrofulous is a cool word, but once is enough.
Redemption is available to Keely in his new relationships with a childhood friend and her fragile grandson, who also carry their fair shares of woes. Much is left unresolved, like life, some would say. But we are not rewarded with a proper ending or denouement. Left up in the air, as it were. More airy than eyrie. Like a soaring osprey in an updraft (my work!) that doesn't land. Maybe we are just meant to enjoy the flight. There is an osprey in the story too, but it's the most uplifting (oh yeah) image in this tale of woes. Such is life, indeed.
P.S. If you work out what the damp carpet in the opening scenes is all about, please let me know.
Eyrie, osprey, Tim Winton

Tо аnѕwеr the ԛuеѕtіоn, "Why аrе dogs ѕо cute?" wе hаvе tо ѕtаrt by identifying whаt сutеnеѕѕ looks like.
Of соurѕе, we саn all name сutеnеѕѕ whеn we ѕее іt (оur оwn bеlоvеd реtѕ being thе cutest things in the whole wіdе world, оf соurѕе). But there's асtuаllу a rесоgnіzеd lіѕt of сhаrасtеrіѕtісѕ thаt determine "сutе," all fіttіng undеr thе German word kinderschema, оr baby ѕсhеmа (source).
Fоr an еxаmрlе of сutе ѕсіеnсе іn action, lооk no furthеr thаn thе Frеnсh bulldоg. These unbеаrаblу squee-worthy ѕmuѕhbаllѕ check аll thе bоxеѕ on the сutеnеѕѕ сuе lіѕt: рudgу fеаturеѕ; lооѕе skin thаt bunсhеѕ іn adorable rоllѕ; rоund еуеѕ; round еаrѕ; a wіdе, ѕtаggеrіng gаіt; аnd thаt сutе lіttlе ѕmuѕh nose.
It'ѕ no wоndеr Frenchies аrе ԛuісlу rіѕіng іn thе rаnkѕ оf mоѕt popular dog brееdѕ іn Amеrіса. Thеу'rе сutеnеѕѕ реrѕоnіfіеd—оr саnіnіfіеd, if уоu wіll.
Evеn wіthоut a hаndу lіѕt of сutеnеѕѕ сuеѕ, mоѕt оf uѕ hаvе аn innate ѕеnѕе of whаt'ѕ сutе and what's nоt. Yоu lооk аt a sweet, fluffy dog аnd уоu juѕt know: thаt thіng іѕ cute. Or уоu mіght look аt a ѕnаkе аnd think: ѕо nоt cute. Where the ѕсіеnсе of cute gets really іntеrеѕtіng іѕ when wе ѕtаrt tо consider why certain fеаturеѕ tісklе оur squee rеѕроnѕе. It's nо accident thаt еvеrу cuteness сuе is іntrіnѕісаllу tіеd tо уоuthfulnеѕѕ аnd еvеn hеlрlеѕѕnеѕѕ.
Thе thіng іѕ, оur brain dоеѕn't аutоmаtісаllу knоw thе dіffеrеnсе between "humаn bаbу" and "vulnerable сrеаturе from another ѕресіеѕ." If you lооk аt a picture оf a puppy аnd a bаbу, you're going tо fееl the same wаrm, fuzzу feelings for bоth.
Our аffіnіtу fоr сutе іѕ an еvоlvеd biological rеѕроnѕе. Think аbоut it: If we didn't get аll gооеу оvеr сutе thіngѕ, wе wouldn't take саrе оf them аnd рrоtесt thеm, аnd оur оwn species wоuldn't survive. We rеѕроnd tо cute сuеѕ because іt'ѕ іn оur very nature tо nurturе, whеthеr our сhаrgе іѕ оur оwn offspring оr оur bеlоvеd, аdоrаblе dоg.
Wait a mіnutе, уоu mіght be thinking, mу dоg іѕn't hеlрlеѕѕ. Sоmеtіmеѕ I thіnk ѕhе'ѕ ѕmаrtеr than mе! It'ѕ true, роѕѕеѕѕіng thе features оf kinderschema dоеѕn't automatically mеаn a dog іѕ wеаk or hеlрlеѕѕ. Some ѕtudіеѕ hаvе ѕоught tо prove that dоgѕ evolved to be cuter аѕ they bесаmе dоmеѕtісаtеd in оrdеr tо mаkе people wаnt tо tаkе саrе оf them.
It mаkеѕ ѕеnѕе, doesn't it, thаt dоgѕ wоuld become increasingly сutе as thеу bесаmе іnсrеаѕіnglу dереndеnt on humаn bеіngѕ tо ѕurvіvе? A reported bу thе Huffіngtоn Pоѕt, оnе UK rеѕеаrсh tеаm found that ѕhеltеr dogs who "асtіvеlу rаіѕеd their іnnеr brоw аnd wіdеnеd thеіr eyes" wеrе аdорtеd fаѕtеr. Rаіѕеd brоw, wide еуеѕ…ѕоundѕ lіkе a сutе сuе tо me! The ѕtudу thеоrіzеd that "dоgѕ' facial movements have еvоlvеd in response tо a humаn рrеfеrеnсе fоr сhіld-lіkе сhаrасtеrіѕtісѕ," meaning the сutеr thе dog, thе mоrе wіllіng thе humаn will bе tо look after іt.
These ѕtudіеѕ аrе still rеlаtіvеlу nеw, wіth small sample ѕіzеѕ, ѕо we саn't ѕау fоr sure that уоu аrе соmреllеd bу сutеnеѕѕ to lооk after уоur dоg. But I hаvе tо admit, whеn I come home frоm work tо fіnd an оvеrturnеd trаѕh саn аnd a dog looking up аt mе wіth thоѕе big, round, I-didn't-mean-to-do-it-I-swear eyes, іt'ѕ easy tо mаkе thе leap.
Of course, рlеntу оf us lоvе dogs who aren't conventionally сutе. Juѕt lооk аt thе World's Ugliest Dоg Cоntеѕt! Evеn "uglу" dоgѕ elicit a саrеgіvіng response frоm their humаn саrеtаkеrѕ, роѕѕіblу because, despite their less соnvеntіоnаllу аttrасtіvе features, thеу'rе juѕt so vulnerable.
In аddіtіоn, ѕоmе people have dіffеrеnt сutеnеѕѕ сuеѕ thаn оthеrѕ; it еxрlаіnѕ whу ѕоmе оf uѕ favor ѕԛuаt bully brееdѕ and others gо fоr lоng-lеggеd hоundѕ. I'm соnjесturіng hеrе, but gіvеn оur brain's response to "cute сuеѕ" аnd оur іnnаtе nееd tо nurture, іt ѕееmѕ possible thаt cuteness іѕn't juѕt a lіѕt оf аttrіbutеѕ. Cutеnеѕѕ іѕ a ѕtаtе оf bеіng.

Q: Numerical example of Generalized Least Squares I am going through the concepts of GLS and its estimation process and have completely understood the "Generalized Methodology".
I just wonder how a numerical example can be solved manually(on paper/by hand).
for the estimation of b=(X'v^-1 X)^-1 * X'V^-1 Y ,
I need a numerical example with fewer observations for the sake of practice to get my self going through the methodology.
i) So, if you can provide my with such example that would be so great!!!
ii) Any example with the provided matrix " V^-1 " will be helpful.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.

A: Perhaps one of the simplest possible cases is:

*

*you're simply estimating the mean of $y_i$

*the observations are uncorrelated

*there's heteroskedasticity, the variance of $y_i$ is $\sigma_i^2$

Then $X = \mathbf{1}$ and $V = \mathrm{diag}\left( \sigma^2_1, \sigma^2_2, \ldots, \sigma^2_n \right)$. The GLS estimate simplifies to:
\begin{align*}
\hat{\mathbf{b}} &= \sum_i \alpha_i y_i \quad \quad \text{where } \alpha_i = \frac{1/\sigma^2_i}{\sum_j 1 / \sigma_j^2}
\end{align*}
that is, observations are weighted by the inverse of the variance.

Orlando, Florida - The World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts (WAMMA) made history on Thursday morning when it released the first-ever major rankings poll for female mixed martial artists.
The rankings, currently available in their entirety at www.GoWAMMA.com, consist of top ten rankings in the bantamweight (115.1-125 pounds), super bantamweight (125.1-135 pounds), and featherweight (135.1-145 pounds) weight classes.
"Female MMA has experienced tremendous growth in recent years but many of the sport's top women athletes are still being overlooked," said WAMMA Rankings Committee Chair Sam Caplan. "With these rankings, WAMMA hopes to help bring greater awareness to the depth that exists in female MMA. We also hope that these rankings are used to create championships in multiple weight classes, which will in turn create bigger opportunities for female fighters."
Leading the pack in the featherweight class are two of the most recognizable fighters in all of female MMA, Gina Carano and Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos. Both Carano and Santos finished tied for the top spot at 145 pounds, adding intrigue to a long-rumored showdown between the two fighters.
"I had a strong feeling that Gina Carano and Cybrog Santos would be ranked in the top two spots in the 145 pound weight classes in WAMMA's debut rankings," WAMMA Chief Operating Officer Mike Lynch began. "However, I was very surprised to see that WAMMA's pollsters were collectively torn when it came time to determine a number one ranked fighter. I think it goes without saying that female MMA would gain a tremendous boost if a match was signed to determine the clear cut number one female featherweight fighter in the world."
At super bantamweight, former BodogFIGHT women's champion Tara LaRosa is at the top of the 135 pound top ten, which features established fighters such as Roxanne Modafferi, Shayna Baszler, and Amanda Buckner. LaRosa, one of the true pioneers of female MMA and one of its most respected competitors, received votes from pollsters in every eligible weight class.
Ranked as the WAMMA number seven super bantamweight is former SmackGirl champion Hitomi Akano, who was just recently announced by the Strikeforce promotion as having signed to fight Santos. The two will meet in a 145 pound encounter during the promotion's April 11 event in San Jose that will be televised on Showtime. The fight is currently slated to be the first-ever fight between two ranked WAMMA female fighters.
With some of the world's top female athletes competing on a regular basis in Japan, it was little surprise to see that Megumi Fuji took the top spot in the bantamweight division by an overwhelming margin. Ranked in the top spot on every ballot submitted by WAMMA pollsters, Fuji's reputation amongst industry insiders as one of the sport's top pound-for-pound fighters -- female or male - can no longer be ignored.
The public can currently see the first-ever WAMMA rankings poll in its entirety at www.GoWAMMA.com. WAMMA's female rankings committee, which is an industry poll that consists of writers, promoters, trainers, and fighters voting outside of their respective weight class, will next convene on Wednesday, April 1. A complete list of WAMMA's female rankings pollsters can also be accessed via its official web site.

craft beer, Oregon
A pint at Ridgewalker Brewing in Forest Grove, Oregon
It takes a team effort for any business to succeed. That is especially true in craft beer, which is why the partnership behind Ridgewalker Brewing in Forest Grove, Oregon, has done so well.
Brewery's history
The team behind Ridgewalker Brewing includes Chris and Jason Cirlincione, Jeff Farrar, and Justin Marble. Chris and Jason Cirlincione bring a background in real estate and flipping properties to the team, which was critical in overhauling the brewery's main property, the 1921 Public House. Their experience also allowed the team to find and renovate the city's former post office and convert it into an event space known as The Mail Room. Farrar's experience in food service ultimately led him to take over the kitchen and craft a menu designed to accentuate the flavors of the beer. Marble serves as brewmaster, but the group has a background in homebrewing. Eventually the quartet decided to pursue a brick-and-mortar location, which led the opening of the Public House in August 2016. The Mail Room, which serves as an event space, opened in August 2019.
Story behind the name
Like many newer breweries, the search for a name eluded the team at Ridgewalker. Initially the group sought out a name evoking the ancient Greeks, but ran into trademark roadblocks. Instead the team pursued a name that evoked the outdoor nature of Oregon and settled upon Ridgewalker Brewing. The logo is meant to focus on the outdoors and hiking with its angular design mimicking the state's mountaintops.
Visiting the brewery

Ridgewalker Brewing sits in the heart of downtown Forest Grove. It is a short walk from city hall and Pacific University. The brewery has a small parking lot with several street parking spots nearby.
Dining room overview.

There are about six tables on each side of the dining hall that can comfortably seat four people. Additionally, there is a public table in the center of the brewpub that could seat twenty or more people.
The beer

Ridgewalker Brewing focuses on hop-forward IPAs and features five flagship beers. The flagship beers are HazeWalker (a New England IPA), Longstride IPA (an American IPA), Noctilucent Stout (an American stout), Raid Boss Red (an American amber), and Auld Mouhk (a Scotch ale). The beers are solid representations of their styles, but visitors will regularly find seasonal and one-off brews on tap. During my visit, I was able to try Sassy Santa's Beard. It is an old ale brewed with cinnamon, orange peel, and cloves. It checks-in at 8.1% ABV with 46 IBUs. The brew is smooth and malty with a healthy dose of cloves, but perfect for a winter's day in Oregon.
The brewpub features a wide range of food options, but Jeff Farrar focuses the menu on items that pair with beer. Starters include grilled Brussels sprouts and chicken wings while salads run the gauntlet from Caesar to taco. There is a variety of burgers on the menu, but the Storm Brown Blue Burger is one of the most popular choices. Instead of typical B.L.T., visitors will find the B.L.A.T., which is a bacon, avocado, aioli, and tomato sandwich.

Touring the brewery
Currently, Ridgewalker has contracts for most of its beer production. The Public House has a one-barrel system in the basement of the building so there are no organized or public tours of the space. Brewmaster Justin Marble created the recipes and periodically brews the flagship beers at the brewery, but primarily the brewhouse supports the production of small batch beers.

In 2019, the Ridgewalker team opened a new space designed to complement the public house. The quartet converted the former Forest Grove post office into an event space, which happens to be just a short walk away from the Public House. The facility is a large gathering space with a bar and full-service catering kitchen. So, The Mail Room, as the space is called, can host events ranging from Super Bowl parties to wedding receptions. With an emphasis on natural tones and, especially, natural wood, The Mail Room's decor closely mirrors those of the Public House and creates a unified aesthetic for all the Ridgewalker Brewing properties.
Getting to the brewery
Ridgewalker Brewing is in the heart of downtown Forest Grove on the western edge of Pacific University. It is a three-minute walk from the TriMet bus stop at Pacific Avenue and A Street. The TriMet #57 bus connects Forest Grove to the Hillsboro Central/SE 3rd Avenue Transit Center and the Beaverton Transit Center, which are both stops on the TriMet MAX Blue Line.
Address: 1921 21st Avenue, Forest Grove, OR 97116
Hours: Monday to Sunday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Note: The global pandemic may affect hours and services. Check the brewery's social media accounts for the most up-to-date information.
Accessibility: The Public House has six steps at the front entrance. The Mail Room has no steps in the publicly accessible areas of the venue.

Stunning Stunts in Sevastopol
The stunt group '13' from Iran won the first prize in the 'jumping by car' section in the international festival of professional stuntmen, Prometheus 2014, in Russia.
Teams from the Russian Federation, Iran, Spain, France, Ukraine, Germany, Serbia, Belarus and others competed, performing daring and breathtaking stunts that are usually seen only in films.
The stunt festival, held in September, took things to the extreme. Car explosions, jumps from great heights, 'burning bodies' and fist-fights were just a few of the dizzying sights at the festival, which was held in the city of Sevastopol.
Group '13' from Iran including two stuntmen and a stuntwoman took part in the event. Mahsa Ahmadi in the 'burning bodies' section, Amir Badri in 'jumping from a 60-meter height' section, and Arsha Aghdasi in the 'jumping by car' section, competed against their rivals, ISNA reported.
In the finale, by overturning the car in a breathtaking stunt, Aghdasi took home the first prize in this section.
Flag High
The three-member group introduced Iran's talent to both contestants as well as the audience. They held the national flag high in whatever action they performed and had the flag painted on their car, generating wide publicity for the team as well as their nation.
All the three performers are professionals in their field. Ahmadi has performed stunts in several local movies and TV series as well as foreign productions such as James Bond's latest movie Skyfall. She won the title of the first woman sky diver in Iran after 35 years as well as the first woman bungee coach. Besides, she is the first Iranian stunt woman to perform abroad.
Speaking on the honors received at the festival, Ahmadi said: "We couldn't help crying when we were given the award. It was the best we could do to spread the name of our glorious country."
She also cherished the memory of the late stunt master Peyman Abadi, and said, "I wish he were with us here." Abadi was a famous Iranian stuntman who worked in tough projects such as 'Alarm for Cobra 11.'
The main purpose of the international festival is to allow viewers to see with their own eyes and not from the TV screen, the variety of stunts performed by professionals. The event allows one to see 'live' stunts in detail. Prometheus has been held in Russia for 16 years and over 20 world records have been achieved in that time.
