I've been running a lot over the last two months, thanks to a crazy training schedule. I will be the first to admit that in the beginning, I wasn't happy about this - our mileage was increasing by much more than the recommended 10% per week, and with my history of dumb injuries, I was worried that something would happen and I'd be hurting, or even worse, sidelined from running completely. Let's face it, I don't have the best track record when it comes to random running injuries.
Well, I'm happy to report that I'm feeling pretty good, all things considered. Sure, I'm still a little stiff the day after a long run, but this is the least hurty I've been in years. And it's no mystery to me as to why this is happening - I've been using my BFF Buffer often, and it's made a world of difference. Before I run, I use it on the sides of my heels, my Achilles, and my calves, and the tightness that I usually feel when I start running has almost completely dissipated. My calves used to be really knotted up and very tight, which pulled my Achilles tendon, which then pulled my plantar fascia ligament...it was a vicious circle, and while I'm still not completely free of it, I'm feeling much, MUCH better.
I used to take Motrin on a daily basis to try and reduce the inflammation and pain, but I haven't needed to do that in months. After years of trying everything, from foam rolling to using The Stick, from massages to chiropractor visits, I'm very pleasantly surprised that our somewhat spur-of-the-moment purchase last April has not only lived up to its hype, it's surpassed my expectations. I wish I could have an Oprah moment and bestow one to each of you, but sadly, I don't have Oprah money. You can order one here and use the code "JOURNEY15" for a 15% discount - it's still expensive, but out of all the things I've tried, I'm still sold on this product and cannot recommend it enough if you're hurting like I was.
So, speaking of running, we had another seven miler on Saturday. This is the fourth time I've run seven miles since July, and I am surprised to realize that this distance barely registers anymore. Now, I'm not saying that seven miles is a piece of cake to run, because it's still SEVEN FREAKING MILES, but it's not horrible...despite the fact that our weather continues to be hot and humid, which makes running extra challenging. Loretta was still on the mend, so it was just CC and I doing this run together. We were renegades and did the route opposite from everyone else - it's not that we didn't want to run with everyone, but if you go one direction, it's almost all uphill - well, not always hills, but just a continual rising of elevation. So we chose to go the other way, and while we had several hills, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I was the one who created this particular route two years ago for our running club, and I'm not ashamed to admit that it works better one direction over the other, so it was a no-brainer for us. And we still got to see our running club peeps as we passed by them going the opposite direction, which is always fun.
It was a little foggy here (hot fog, yay) - we liked the look of the lacy tree on the right with the fog and sunrise.
Buttery pecan bar on the left, fudge brownie on the right!
They are so nice to us, especially in light of how sweaty we are when we come in. We try to sit away from the other customers, at least - hey, we're considerate! CC brought Loretta to breakfast so we got a chance to catch up...hopefully she'll be back to running with us very soon.
Early Monday morning, Jeff and I were out for our usual run through the neighborhood behind ours, when a big angry dog came out from behind a house, barking and charging at us. In all my years of running, I've never had this happen. We stopped, and he kept coming at us, which was scary. Jeff was yelling at him to get back, while I was trying to calm both of them down, but that dog wasn't giving up. We obviously couldn't keep running, as it would have taken that as a sign to keep chasing us, so we were stuck; we were less than half a mile away from our house, but the dog was between us and the street that we needed to turn down in order to get to there.
I hate to think about having to use this...but I also don't want to be hurt.
The dog incident unnerved me enough that ended up running with Julia at the park yesterday - just in case that dog was still loose, I didn't want to have another encounter with him so soon. I'll bring the pepper spray with me on Monday, which will be the next time I run through that neighborhood...but I sure hope I won't have to use it.
Congrats on another successful 7 mile run!
Considering the world we live in you really should carry some pepper spray for protection.
Glad you and Jeff were not hurt by that dog. I know that must of been really scary to go through I had that happen to myself once too and a neighbor rescued me. Hopefully by next Monday that dog will be back where it belongs or picked up by animal control!
That scares me about the dog :( Thank heavens that girl could give you a ride! I'd avoid that area for awhile, too. Funny thing about the pepper spray - I was also gifted some that has been in the package for a year! I am pretty sure if I ever use it, it will hurt me more... lol.
I wish you could have figured out where the dog came from so you could have reported it to animal control. Unfortunately it doesn't even surprise me any longer how many people just let their dogs out of the house thinking that it's early morning and it won't matter. I have no patience for that sort of thing.
Isn't it fun to find a running tool that works? Glad you're doing better than usual and yes, feeling stiff after a long run should be expected!
I think it's a good idea to bring along the pepper spray. You never know when you might use it on an animal or human. You can never be to sure especially us women :) I'm with you tho, I'm not sure if I could use it, but you never know.
Pepper spray is a good idea. You handled it perfectly. I had a neighbor who was deathly scared of dogs (even calm ones, puppies, ALL DOGS) and she would immediately panic and start running and of course the dogs would think she's playing and it was just a terrible sitch. You are rocking the running...7 miles like it's nothing!
Jeff was bitten by a loose dog as a child and he's very leery of stray dogs to this day - I guess that fear never really goes away.
Congrats on a great 7 miler!! I can't imagine 7 miles, but maybe by next year I will be in that state of mind and body. My route that I take is a constant incline as well and I just hate it but it is the most level ground besides the school running track in my town.
You should carry pepper spray especially how early in the morning you run. Have a great week!!
Anyway, so glad you are having such a great season. I hope you get some nice cooler weather for running before it turns to unpleasantly frigid!
Yeah, I was surprised that the owners didn't wake up or come outside to call their dog in...which makes me wonder if he belonged to that house, or was just lost and lurking there?
If you have the address of the home and believe the dog belonged to the home (it sounds like he/she does and is territorial) please call your local animal control. Even if you are not certain of the address or ownership please report to animal control. They can patrol the neighborhood. I am a dog lover but dangerous dogs and/or dogs that are not properly contained endanger the community. Others, in particular children, may not have the ability to deal with the situation. If you have already done this please disregard my busy body comment :) Stay safe and enjoy the run!
Now you have me looking at all the info and videos!! LOL --- Do you have the Turbo or 2.0?
I have the 2.0 and it has plenty of power. I also use it on my hands - my thumb joints get sore from knitting and this has helped me to keep knitting without having to break for a few days.
Well, you convinced me. Got the 2.0 in white (the other colors are $300 now!) using your code -- thanks!! At-home workouts have made my left hamstring wonky ... looking forward to trying this out!!!
Seriously - the dogs! On a bike dogs are scary because a dog could look normal with its owner and then you go by and the dog lunges, catching the owner by surprise. I guess it's like chasing cars, only they can catch a cyclist.
You know I love dogs but I don't like it when people let their dogs run free. You never know what it will do. When I'm walking Bella and I see someone with a large dog that's not on a leash I'm always extra careful. Bella often barks at dogs and some dogs will see this as agression. Personally I hardly ever let her of her leash, only in the forest and only if R. is with us too.
A couple of weeks ago I was running outside the village and I saw in the distance 2 large dogs on the road. Usually those dogs are in a kennel but now they were free. It was early, around 6 am and I didn't risk it to pass them and just turned around.
I'm glad that nice nurse drove you home and hopefully this was your only "meeting" with this dog.
Congrats on the 7 miles!

Young adults, the recession, and narcissism
Individuals who enter adulthood during a recession are less likely to be narcissistic, finds Emily Bianchi, assistant professor of organization & management. Using two large, diverse samples of US adults, Bianchi found that people who came of age during periods of high unemployment, specifically during ages 18 through 25, were "more likely to develop an other-oriented and ultimately less narcissistic self-concept." An additional study similarly found that CEOs who came of age in more difficult economic times exhibited less narcissism than counterparts who came of age in more prosperous economic times. "These findings suggest that macroenvironmental experiences at a critical life stage can have lasting implications for how unique, special, and deserving people believe themselves to be," she writes. Psychological Science (2014).
Product word-of-mouth & the value of disclaimers
Consumers often rely on word-of-mouth to make decisions on buying a specific product. This is due in part to public exhaustion with the slick and biased messages advertisers often use. But not all word-of-mouth communication is equally persuasive, says Ryan Hamilton, associate professor of marketing, and his co-researchers Ann L. McGill (UChicago) and Kathleen D. Vohs (UMinn). The trio investigated what they term "the dispreferred marker effect," or the use of disclaimers when a person offers word-of-mouth criticism of a product. They tested the idea in five separate experiments and determined that consumers were more likely to trust product evaluations by other consumers who couched negative criticism in a polite way. The study centered on one kind of dispreferred marker, i.e., idiomatic phrases such as "I'll be honest" or "I don't want to be mean, but…" The researchers found that such an approach made the commenter more likeable and appear more credible than those who didn't offer such a disclaimer. Journal of Consumer Research (2014).
Market reaction to the tone of 10-Ks
In their research, Narasimhan Jegadeesh, Dean's Distinguished Chair of Finance and interim vice dean for faculty and research, and Di Wu (UPenn) present a new methodology to investigate just how the positive or negative wording in a company's financial statements are interpreted by the market. The authors used their "content analysis algorithm" to study all 10-Ks filed from January 1995 through December 2010, using only the 10-Ks that were the first filing for the year by the company. The final sample was a large group, representing 45,860 filings for 7,606 unique firms. The researchers concluded that there was a "significant relation between document tone and market reaction for both positive and negative" of 10-Ks. The study also looked at all IPOs during the 1995 to 2010 period, which included 1,475 IPOs in the sample. The coauthors found a negative relation between the tone of the prospectus and IPO underpricing. Journal of Financial Economics (2013).
Organizational failure and job prospects
Potential employers often evaluate job applicants based on the standing of their current employer. If that employer has failed, even a productive employee can suffer a significant disadvantage when looking for a new position. Giacomo Negro, associate professor of management and organization, and Christopher Rider (Georgetown) used the failure of a prominent law firm in their research to show evidence of this "intraprofessional status loss," analyzing 224 of the firm's partners and their transitions to subsequent employers. While the majority of the partners were able to find employment at other law firms, the new firms were on average of lower status than the failed firm. But all employees did not experience the loss of status in the same way. Negro and Rider also found that even after accounting for their productivity, graduates of more prestigious law schools who were displaced were less likely to be negatively impacted. Organizational Science (2014).
Understanding investor behavior
Prior research indicates that when it comes to trading patterns, investors hold losing positions far too long and sell off winning positions way too soon. Kathryn Kadous, professor of accounting; William Tayler (BYU); Jane Thayer (UVirginia); and Donald Young (Georgia Tech) take the research a step further by disproving the common belief that investor behavior is primarily motivated by "mean reversion," which is simply the assumption that "losing stocks will bounce back and that winning stocks will fall" over time. Instead, they argue that self-esteem, self-regard, and confidence are the real reasons for this sort of investor behavior. The motivation of investors is complex, so the researchers completed two separate experiments to tease out the differing motivations of investors in losing vs. winning positions. They conclude, "Investors with lower self-regard hold losing investments longer than those with higher self-regard, and investors with higher confidence hold losing investments longer than those with lower confidence." This implies that feeling good about oneself, in general, and avoiding overconfidence about one's investing ability jointly allow for better investment decisions. Journal of Behavioral Finance (2014).
Product differentiation and industry structure
Much is written about how companies use product differentiation to boost margins or gain market share. But little is known about how firms' efforts to differentiate their products, individually or jointly, impact their industry's structure. New research by Richard Makadok, associate professor of organization and management, and David Gaddis Ross (Columbia U.) employs formal modeling to examine how product differentiation can not only shape a firm, but also an industry. The researchers separate two of the effects that product differentiation has on firms' profits. First, they analyze the "competitive advantage effect" of differentiation and how it increases customers' willingness to pay for the differentiating firm's product, thereby raising that firm's profit at the expense of its rivals. Second, they investigate the "rivalry restraint effect," or when competitors' products differ enough from one another to reduce the intensity of price competition among them and, ultimately, raise the profits of all firms in the industry. Since these two effects can either reinforce or counteract each other, competitors may vary in their incentive to differentiate, and they tend to underinvest in differentiation relative to the industry-wide optimum unless they coordinate with each other on their differentiation decisions. Strategic Management Journal (2013).
Measuring brand sentiment on social media
Large companies increasingly use customer comments on social media for market intelligence. In new research, Wendy Moe (UMaryland) and David Schweidel, associate professor of marketing, argue that these metrics have shortcomings, because they fail to consider structural differences among social media platforms and changes in customer sentiment over time. Taking these differences and changes into account, the two researchers study social media data from firms in two industries, enterprise software and telecommunications, to arrive at a more accurate assessment of customer sentiment. They find that sentiments expressed in various social media platforms evolve in different ways, underscoring the pitfalls of relying on social media comments collected from a single platform. The researchers demonstrate how social media data collected from multiple platforms can be analyzed to better assess brand sentiment, which can serve as an early indicator of shifts in other metrics, such as customer satisfaction surveys and stock prices.

COVID-19 restaurant safety course helps operations, consumer confidence
Restaurant owners and managers laud free course, designed by FIU instructors, for its succinct practicality and easy-to-understand lessons on how to apply the new safety standards.
With Miami-Dade County restaurants recently reopened for indoor seating, thousands of restaurant employees are handling new safety standards to prevent the spread of COVID-19. To help, FIU launched a free COVID-19 Restaurant Safety and Compliance course for business owners, managers and employees. The course also features an hour-long live virtual session.
A collaborative effort between The City of Miami, Miami's Downtown Development Authority (DDA), the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management and FIU Online, the recently launched course, available completely online, was created to help make the community more resilient, encourage business development and support the launch of new restaurants, like Momosan Wynwood, opening in early November.
A strong start
"For chef Morimoto, safety is the absolute priority for our staff and guests," stressed Chiaki Takada who is excited to fill her role as manager for Momosan Wynwood, owned by famed Japanese chef Masaharu Morimoto.
Momosan Wynwood, which will feature ramen and sushi, will employ about 30 individuals to start with, said Takada. She signed up for the course and attended the live virtual session to learn as much as she could to help Momosan have a seamless opening.
"It was helpful. I wasn't thinking about putting stickers on the floor. The instructor gave ideas for actual situations and examples," recounted Takada.
Business reimagined
John Masi
COVID-19 has been particularly challenging for the restaurant industry, but this course will help owners and operators build back up as they take part in eliminating the potential spread of the coronavirus, said John Noble Masi, advanced food production and culinary professor for the Chaplin School. Masi, co-creator of the course, is the instructor for the live virtual session.
"Everything has had to be reimagined through the regulations and COVID-19 safety lens," explained Masi.
"Restaurants need to know how to operate now," added Nico Rose, Chaplin School instructor and course co-creator with Masi. Rose designed the online portion of the course.
Nico Rose
All aspects of customer contact and how the staff works within the restaurant environment is addressed from first impressions to when customers leave, discussed Masi
"There was a need to make this course to provide something accessible to the public—to help businesses understand and actualize the new policies and regulations," stated Rose.
Sara Agudelo, owner of Purple Orchid, asked her staff members to attend the live session and complete the course along with her. Purple Orchid, a healthy foods caterer and eatery, has three locations—Hollywood, Brickell and Downtown Miami. When COVID-19 forced many area businesses in the vicinity to work remotely, sales were severely affected, offered Agudelo.
"We had to close for nine weeks. Besides that, we had to change the layout of all our restaurants and our hours," admitted Agudelo. She lamented that she doesn't usually have a budget for training but was elated about the free course.
"I thought it was a very good idea to ask my team to participate because they are the ones who deal with operations every day," reasoned Agudelo, who said business is slowly recovering now.
Agudelo intends to promote her restaurants' commitment to continuing education and COVID-19 safety on social media with her team's course certificates to help increase consumer confidence.
Live session and cling
Masi will host one more live virtual session on Tuesday, Sept. 29 from 7-8 p.m. The session will be recorded and available in English, Spanish and Creole for those who are not able to attend.
At the end of the course, participants are able to take a final quiz to certify their knowledge. Those who pass will receive a certificate and "cling" sticker to display in their establishment. According to Takada, Momosan will display the sticker prominently at the entrance. Any visual tool that affects a customer's mindset should be helpful for establishments, she declared.
"To me redundancy is the key for safety. The more you learn, the more you do, the safer your restaurant will be. We are responsible for people," asserted Takada.

Q: Audit functionality in Mongo db collection My intention is to create "MyMongoCollection_Audit" collection , It should store all CRUD operations.
1- add, 2 - update , 3 - delete
For example, When I'll add new record in mail collection, it's audit collection should store that newly added record in it's audit collection with recordType as 1
           , When I'll update existing record in main collection, it's audit collection should store that updated record with recordType as 2.
           , When I'll delete record from main collection, it's audit collection should store that deleted record with recordType as 3.
Additionally I'm going to save 4 more fields (createdDate, updatedDate, createdBy, updatedBy) in that audit collection.
This audit collection will give me debug option later to search for any change that might have happened earlier which might have created some issues.
Is there mongo db support for this? I could see doc where we can redirect changes in logs but I'm looking for collection to store that. One way it to write all that framework on own but was wondering uf Mongo is supporting this ?

Q: Test question misunderstanding I have always thought that I am rather good at English, but in a test today I made a mistake although I can't say for sure whether it is something to do with grammar or logic.
The question was:

*

*When will you ______?

*

*cut your hair

*have your hair cut

*get your hair cut

*do your hair cut

I chose #3, but the correct was #2, although at first I was thinking #1 is the correct option.
They explain it that "have something done" is a common expression.
But aren't #1 and #3 correct in general?

A: I would say that that is a very bad test question.  I would personally agree that all of #1, #2, and #3 are valid and correct answers.

When will you cut your hair?

If one is assuming that the actual action of cutting the hair is going to be done by somebody else, then this is not technically correct, but it's still a phrase people very commonly say even in that scenario.  There is also always the possibility that the person you're talking to actually cuts their own hair themselves (which people can do), in which case this is actually the most correct option.

When will you have your hair cut?

This is arguably the most textbook-correct answer, but I think actually the least common idiomatically.

When will you get your hair cut?

This is actually what I most commonly hear (at least in the US), and is also perfectly grammatically correct, as far as I know (with modern grammar rules).  This is the option I would personally choose (as a native English speaker).

When will you do your hair cut?

This is the only one which is definitely wrong.

California Corporate and Securities Law
Financial Institutions & Banking
When Non-Voting Shares Must Approve A Reorganization
The California General Corporation Law permits a corporation to issue shares with no voting rights, provided that at the time one or more classes or series of outstanding shares or debt securities, singly or in the aggregate, are entitled to full voting rights. Cal. Corp. Code § 400(a). The phrase "no voting rights" is deceptive, however. For example, Section 117 provides that any requirement in the GCL for a vote of each class of outstanding shares "means such a vote regardless of limitation or restrictions upon the voting rights thereof, unless expressly limited to voting shares".
Section 1201(a) of the Corporations Code sets forth the approval requirements for "reorganizations", as defined Section 181. If the reorganization requires the approval of the corporation's board pursuant to Section 1200, the principal terms of the reorganization must be "approved by the outstanding shares", as defined in Section 152, of each class. Putting Sections 117 and 1201(a) together, the shareholder approval requirement is a separate class vote of each class of outstanding shares of the corporation and approval by a majority of the outstanding shares of each class.
There are several exceptions to the above rule. First, the articles of incorporation may require a greater vote than a majority of the outstanding shares. See Cal. Corp. Code § 204(a)(5). Second, no shareholder approval may be required under California's 5/6 rule. Cal. Corp. Code § 1201(b). Finally, no approval of any class of outstanding preferred shares of the surviving or acquiring corporation or parent party is required if the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to or imposed upon that class of shares remain unchanged. There is an exception to this last exception in the case of a merger reorganization if there is an amendment to the surviving corporation's articles of incorporation that would otherwise require approval of the outstanding shares. Cal. Corp. Code § 1201(c).
Finally, a special rule applies when a corporation has two classes of common shares that differ only as to voting rights. The last sentence of Section 1201(a) specifies that the two classes are to be considered as a single class of shares. Thus, only a majority vote of all of the outstanding shares of both classes will be required to approve the reorganization.

Q: Logback-classic in Jboss and Spring I'm working on a project where I thought I would try using logback-classic for debugging and log rotation. I'm using this in a Maven context for building and creating a .war file to be deployed in JBoss 7.1 Application Server.
I've placed a logback.xml file in the resources folder in the code and a logback-test.xml in test/resources.
The active jar I'm using is the SLF4J to print the actual debugging.
public class MyClass extends MultiActionController {
  private Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);

  public MyClass() {
    logger.debug("hello");
  }
}

When I run a JUnit test on the code in Maven itself it works, but after building a .war file i don't get any debugging in STDOUT nor can I find a file created.
I know that I've removed the actual logging from STDOUT in the config file, but where is the logging going...
the logback.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">

        <filter class="ch.qos.logback.classic.filter.ThresholdFilter">
            <level>DEBUG</level>
        </filter>

        <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
            <FileNamePattern>logs/myproject.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePattern>
            <MaxHistory>30</MaxHistory>
        </rollingPolicy>

        <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
            <pattern>%d{yyMMdd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5.5level] [%-25.25logger] %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <root level="debug">
        <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
    </root>
</configuration>

The folder "logs" do I need to explicit create it in the JBoss instance or need to refer relative to it for this to work? Or is there something I missed? Do I need to put the logback.xml file in the JBoss instance?
best,
Henrik

A: Firstly you should ensure that the logback.xml is at the classpath, e.g. WEB-INF/classes/logback.xml as the mentioning at Chapter 3: Logback configuration.
The Chapter 4: Appenders mentions about FileAppender and RollingFileAppender properties as

file *String* The name of the file to write to. If the file does not exist, it is created. On the MS Windows platform users frequently forget to escape back slashes. For example, the value c:\temp\test.log is not likely to be interpreted properly as '\t' is an escape sequence interpreted as a single tab character (\u0009). Correct values can be specified as c:/temp/test.log or alternatively as c:\temp\test.log. The File option has no default value.
  If the parent directory of the file does not exist, FileAppender will automatically create it, including any necessary but nonexistent parent directories.

The example is for logback.xml is as the following:-
<configuration>
  <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
    <file>logFile.log</file>
    <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
      <!-- daily rollover -->
      <fileNamePattern>logFile.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern>

      <!-- keep 30 days' worth of history -->
      <maxHistory>30</maxHistory>
    </rollingPolicy>

    <encoder>
      <pattern>%-4relative [%thread] %-5level %logger{35} - %msg%n</pattern>
    </encoder>

I hope this may help.

A: You need to define the file-tag (as the previous answers already said). But you also need to know how it's interpreted. Logback sees it as relative to the application it's used in. So if you only use
<file>logs/<myfile>.log</file>

logback should create a "logs"-folder in the root of your JBoss (more specific: the folder where the .sh-script you start it with is located). Check from the root of your JBoss to see if you can find your logs-folder and file from there.

Uganda's Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) has increased oversight and support for public sector buyers.
The PPDA has formed a committee to monitor high spend entities (HSEs), which had a budget of 8.2trn Ugandan shillings in 2015-16.
A team of relationship managers will support these HSEs, which include many key ministries and public sector bodies, in quarterly meetings that will share information on lessons learnt and proposals on improving the system.
The PPDA and the Anti-Corruption Coalition Uganda recently organised a public debate at Kampala's Hotel Africana to share views on public procurement issues.
The event was part of attempts to monitor malpractice in public procurement and enhance transparency and accountability, the PPDA said.
Last year the PPDA launched the Government Procurement Portal (GPP), a web based procurement platform, to promote efficiency and accountability and help SMEs bid for public contracts.


The latest in home Breitling is a watch designed for a young audience who love strong sensations. We are talking about the Colt Skyracer built for speed and challenges such as the MXS-R Skyracer: the plane of the Breitling Racing Team in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship.
The extreme and technical look black preserves the military origins of the Colt model. Capable of high performance, efficient and reliable also retains its quality tool for professionals.

I am a graphic tee ADDICT… This Summer I probably purchased at least 5-7, & the one featured in this look is one of my fab selections I made during my last stent in LA. This outfit is super comfy & stylish. A high-low skirt is always a great transition choice for Fall… Add a pair of chunky peep-toe booties with your favorite tee, & you are good to go!
This look is layered with more exquisite pieces from Antique Ring Company… I layered three diamond bands to create a unique pairing with this outfit.


ATLANTA – Clark Atlanta University announced Tuesday (Mar 19) that Tim Bowens has been selected to become the Panthers' new head football coach.
Bowens comes to CAU from Georgia State University where he was an assistant coach in charge of running backs. He led the Panthers' offense to a school-record 2,057 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns on the ground in 2018, as his squad improved their rushing average by nearly 60 yards per game over the previous season.
Before coming to Georgia State in February 2018, Bowens spent four years as an assistant coach at the University of South Alabama, the last three seasons as running backs coach. During his time at USA, Bowens coached the two-time All-Sun Belt Conference running back Xavier Johnson who finished as the career rushing leader and was part of a staff that earned the program's first-ever bowl berth.
"Tim embodies the qualities that I see in most successful coaches, primarily transformational leadership, passion and an unsurpassed work ethic," said CAU Athletic Director J Lin Dawson. "I look forward to partnering with him as we win championships, graduate student-athletes and develop them as leaders."

Asian markets, US futures fall after the Fed signaled a rate hike in March
Investors worry that higher US interest rates could cause capital to leave Asia's emerging markets and spur currency depreciation in the region, causing financial turbulence.
Japanese Nikkei (N225) fell 3.3% on afternoon trading, exacerbating previous losses.
Korea Kospi (KOSPI) fell 3.2 per cent. The index is about to fall into a bear market and last traded more than 20% from a peak in July last year.
Tech stocks fell sharply. An index in Hong Kong, which tracks the largest Chinese technology companies, fell more than 4%. Alibaba fell more than 6%.
Softbank (SFTBF) and Tokyo Electron – a large Japanese semiconductor and electronics company – also fell 9% and 5% in Tokyo, respectively.
On Wall Street, Dow (FOLLOWING) futures fell around 440 points. S&P 500 (INX) and Nasdaq (COMP) fell 1.5% and 1.9%, respectively. The three indices closed slightly lower on Wednesday.
The falls come after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled that the Fed is about to raise interest rates, even though the central bank kept interest rates close to zero for now.
"I would say that the committee is prepared to raise the federal funds rate at the March meeting, provided the conditions are right to do so." he told reporters on Wednesday.
In a statement, the Fed said it would "soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate," with inflation well above 2% and a strong labor market.
Expectations of higher US interest rates pushed a key dollar index to its highest level in almost a month. The US Dollar Currency Index – which measures the strength of the dollar against a basket of currencies used by US trading partners – has risen 0.7% to trade at 96.65.
Outside of external growth shocks, "there is little that would prevent the Fed from raising interest rates at its March meeting," Kerry Craig, global market strategist for JP Morgan Asset Management, wrote in a note Thursday. He added that a tightening of Fed policy would probably "increase market volatility during the year. "
The International Monetary Fund recently warned that emerging markets and developing economies should prepare for possible turbulence in financial markets as US and Europe raise policy rates.
"Higher returns elsewhere will encourage capital to flow overseas, which will put downward pressure on emerging markets and developing economic currencies and increase inflation," the organization said in its world economic outlook report on Tuesday.
And Chinese President Xi Jinping last week urged central banks in the West not to raise interest rates too quickly to fight inflation as his country moves in the other direction to fight a sharp economic downturn.

Responding to the lawsuit, Anheuser-Busch said its campaign is truthful and created to bring consumers "transparency" about what's in the beer they drink. Courthouse News Service, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post and the Des Moines Register are among the publications with coverage.
The suit, MillerCoors LLC v. Anheuser-Busch Companies LLC, was filed Thursday in US district court for the western district of Wisconsin. MillerCoors is asking for the ads to stop. High-fructose corn syrup is an additive that has been linked to obesity.
MillerCoors filed suit against Anheuser-Busch, the brewer of Bud Light, over the commercials, which it says are "false and misleading". And MillerCoors is not ashamed of its use of corn syrup as a fermentation aid.
In the lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, MillerCoors stated that it only uses corn syrup (not high-fructose corn syrup) as a fermentation aid and thus "no corn syrup appears in the finished Miller Lite and Coors Light beer products".
AB Inbev responded with a statement that the ads are true, merely pointing out that corn syrup isn't used in the Bud Light brewing process while it is used to brew Miller Lite and Coors Light.
In the 60-second commercial, a medieval caravan journeys to return a giant barrel of corn syrup to the Miller and Coors castles. The stated goal of the AB InBev campaign is to "increase transparency" about beer ingredients, but clearly in the mind of AB InBev that applies only to Bud Light and not the multitude of other alcohol products in its portfolio. The shipment is accepted at this third location.
"AB's claims that Miller Lite and Coors Light beers are "made with" corn syrup are false and misleading because they fail to provide consumers with the necessary context: that corn syrup is not present in the final beers", it continued. "The commercial states that Bud Light isn't brewed with corn syrup", the AP's Ivan Moreno reports. MillerCoors has promised free Coors Light in certain bars every time Bud Light launches another attack.
"We are showing the world the truth", Maloney said.
MillerCoors even points out that AB InBev's first ad that aired after the coin toss, for Bon & Viv Spiked Seltzer, was for a product that actually lists corn syrup as an ingredient.
If you thought the "corngate" controversy over Bud Light's Super Bowl ads would quiet down, think again.
"MillerCoors' lawsuit is baseless and will not deter Bud Light from providing consumers with the transparency they demand", Hart said in the statement.
'We stand behind the Bud Light transparency campaign and have no plans to change the advertising'.
Amazon has been beta testing the ads on Apple Inc's iOS platform for several months, according to people familiar with the plan . Still, this is expected to be a slow roll-out to see if it disrupts customers' shopping experience, so there's that.
Sale spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Chicago White Sox , where he pitched to a 74-50 record with a 3.00 ERA. ESPN baseball insider Jeff Passan reports the deal been talked about is for five years and in the $150 million dollar range.

We've just gone over a sampling of the reports predicting the future effects of the climate change process. It's expected there will be significant sea-level rise, increasing heat, massive changes in rainfall patterns leading to mega-droughts in some areas and superstorms in others, new diseases, famine, crop failures on a massive scale, and more.
While we didn't come up with a predicted cost, it's clear the financial cost will be enormous.
This raises an obvious question. What's it worth to you, today, to avoid future calamity?
We do all kinds of things to avoid future problems. We buy insurance, we take CPR training, we exercise, we eat good food, we save for retirement, we put reflectors on our bicycle and wear a bicycle helmet, we wear a proper jacket when riding a motorcycle, and on and on. Maybe we can ride a bicycle every day for our whole life, never get into an accident, and never need that helmet, but if we do get into an accident, and we're not wearing the helmet, it's far too late to put the helmet on while we're falling to the ground.
The climate change threat is another case where, if we wait until it's an absolutely crystalline clear crisis, it'll be too late. It took a long time to develop the climate change problem — the trends began around 1950 — and it'll take a long time to correct the problems. Waiting until the ecosystem starts falling apart is too long, we needed to have already begun serious action, and the longer we wait the worse it will be.
Climate scientists have released dozens of reports predicting all kinds of society-wide calamities just from climate change effects. For example, rising sea level is going to swamp coast lines around the world threatening the bridges, roads, airports, seaports and everything else humanity has built along the shore. Other threats are "ill health", and wars fought over dwindling resources. And, according to the UN Panel on Climate Change, that's with only 2C of temperature rise, and that at 4C of temperature increase we'll see a massive species extinction, large risks to global food security, and large risks to normal human activity.
There's a large number of such reports, and they all predict calamity on a huge scale. The costs to society will be immense, if the predictions come true.
The primary cause is the use of fossil fuels and the resulting increase in atmospheric carbon. The effects are melting glaciers, increases in severe weather, increasing global average temperature, changes in weather patterns, changes in species distribution as plants and animals are unable to survive hotter weather, and more.
Rather than ask whether the cost of taking action on climate change is a worthy investment, ask this: Who in their right mind would pay the cost of inaction?


What should The GM do?
A GM made A Special Drinax Noble Events Table and in her last term A Social Scale 14 Noble rolled A 66 on The Events Table then A 2,000 on 4D6+2x100 then A 800 on 2D6x100 then A 6 on 3D3 and this means that this player has had a very distant relative die and leave her A Pirate Hunting Fleet of the players choice, within reason, of up to 6 Ships, with a individual mass of up to 800 tons and a total mass of up to 2,000 tons, which is, as its Pirates of Drinax, in edition to The 200 Ton Drinax Class Commerce Raider and The GM's players command, right from the start, A Fleet of 3 400 ton Patrol Corvettes, 2 200 Ton Drinax Class Commerce Raiders and A 600 ton Corsair converted into A Pirate Hunter. What should The GM do?

Re: What should The GM do?
If the GM created the table then the GM has to deal with the consequences!
If you don't want a PC to have stuff don't make it available especially on a dice roll. Admit it was a mistake and start again before it gets out of hand.
Unfortunately, all of the ships have disloyal crews, and jump away in unauthorized directions. The crew of the ship with the player characters is disloyal too, but they follow orders when the characters are watching. But they need to be replaced with loyal crew at the earliest opportunity.
They can't just kill the disloyal crew; no one will work for a captain who kills crew. They need to be laid off with good severance pay.
That sounds as complicated as hell, I had a serious internal monologue with myself just allowing players to have AP rounds in a Gauss Rifle - this sounds like a nightmare wrapped in a bad dream!
It's more than a little strange that every GM you know suffers from the same obsession with creating extremely contrived ways to give the players far more power and wealth than the adventure setting can stand.
If you read Pirates of Drinax, the Travellers are given a ship. One ship. And with it they are to make things happen.
Someone with 75.345 million credits and their own fleet has no reason to play Pirates of Drinax. They might choose to do some empire-building of their own though. Best option would be to throw the adventure book away and ask the player what they want to do. Build their own empire? Pick somewhere to start and have it it. They don't need Oleb's shoestring operation. What happens next won't be Pirates of Drinax of course, but that decision was made when the Travellers were handed bigger assets than the scenario designers envisaged they would have at the end.


On the hillside above Cannes, with an unbeatable view of the bay and its islands, architect Pierre Guidoni, designer Jean Rogliano and fabricator Menuiserie Bareau created a breathtaking villa, completed with a façade made of HI-MACS®. This ambitious project once again pushed the limits of creativity and, if it were not for HI-MACS®, both project manager and client say it would never have come to fruition. Thanks to its thermoforming capacity, its versatility and its resistance to weather and UV rays, HI-MACS® perfected this flagship creation.
To imbue the villa's architecture with a soul, the aesthetic process focused on interpretations of different architectural movements. Primarily representing a convergence between the Art Deco movement's streamline style; in which smooth forms, horizontal lines and curved surfaces are borrowed from nautical elements; and the modernist style, transposed to a soothing imaginary future.
As with any ambitious project, some problems only appeared on the construction site: in addition to the importance of form and aesthetics, the villa's exposure, heat variations and the scale of the surface areas led to technical constraints on-site that required adjustments to the initial layout plan. Menuiserie Bareau, for whom the creation of a HI-MACS® façade was a first, proved – as did the entire project management team – to be both bold and ingenious in the customized production of the fasteners and finishing slabs, which allowed the firm to manufacture expansion joints for each of the different types of exposures, shapes and surfaces.

Glossary¶
This section contains the glossary for the Senlin service.
An action is an operation that can be performed on a Cluster or a Node etc. Different types of objects support different set of actions. An action is executed by a Worker thread when the action becomes READY. Most Senlin APIs create actions in database for worker threads to execute asynchronously. An action, when executed, will check and enforce Policy associated with the cluster. An action can be triggered via Receiver.
HTTP REST API service for Senlin.
A cluster is a group of homogeneous objects (i.e. Node). A cluster consists of 0 or more nodes and it can be associated with 0 or more Policy objects. It is associated with a Profile Type when created.
The Action objects are stored into database for execution. These actions may have dependencies among them.
A dispatcher is a processor that takes a Senlin Action as input and then converts it into a desired format for storage or further processing.
A driver is a Senlin internal module that enables Senlin Engine to interact with other OpenStack services. The interactions here are usually used to create, destroy, update the objects exposed by those services.
The daemon that actually perform the operations requested by users. It provides RPC interfaces to RPC clients.
Used to specify user provided Plugin that implement a Profile Type or a Policy Type. User can provide plugins that override the default plugins by customizing an environment.
An event is a record left in Senlin database when something matters to users happened. An event can be of different criticality levels.
An integer property of a Node when it is a member of a Cluster. Each node has an auto-generated index value that is unique in the cluster.
A node is an object that belongs to at most one Cluster. A node can become an 'orphaned node' when it is not a member of any clusters. All nodes in a cluster must be of the same Profile Type of the owning cluster. In general, a node represents a physical object exposed by other OpenStack services. A node has a unique Index value scoped to the cluster that owns it.
Open source software for building private and public clouds.
A string dictating which user (role or group) has what permissions on a given object (i.e. Cluster, Node, Profile and Policy etc.)
A plugin is an implementation of a Policy Type or Profile Type that can be dynamically loaded and registered to Senlin engine. Senlin engine comes with a set of builtin plugins. Users can add their own plugins by customizing the Environment configuration.
A policy is a set of rules that can be checked and/or enforced when an Action is performed on a Cluster. A policy is an instance of a particular Policy Type. Users can specify the enforcement level when creating a policy object. Such a policy object can be attached to and detached from a cluster.
A policy type is an abstraction of Policy objects. The implementation of a policy type specifies when the policy should be checked and/or enforce, what profile types are supported, what operations are to be done before, during and after each Action. All policy types are provided as Senlin plugins.
A profile is a mould used for creating objects (i.e. Node). A profile is an instance of a Profile Type with all required information specified. Each profile has a unique ID. As a guideline, a profile cannot be updated once created. To change a profile, you have to create a new instance.
A profile type is an abstraction of objects that are backed by some Driver. The implementation of a profile type calls the driver(s) to create objects that are managed by Senlin. The implementation also serves a factory that can "produce" objects given a profile. All profile types are provided as Senlin plugins.
A receiver is an abstract resource created at the senlin engine that can be used to hook the engine to some external event/alarm sources. A receiver can be of different types. The most common type is a Webhook.
A role is a string property that can be assigned to a Node. Nodes in the same cluster may assume a role for certain reason such as application configuration. The default role for a node is empty.
A webhook is an encoded URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) that for triggering some operations (e.g. Senlin actions) on some resources. Such a webhook URL is the only thing one needs to know to trigger an action on a cluster.
A worker is the thread created and managed by Senlin engine to execute an Action that becomes ready. When the current action completes (with a success or failure), a worker will check the database to find another action for execution.

The City of Suwanee and North Gwinnett Arts Association (NGAA) partnered in 2017 to create a joint welcome and arts center, allowing the NGAA to have much-needed studio and class space in Suwanee Town Center, while also providing the city with a staffed welcome center. Visitors and locals are welcomed to Suwanee with a high-energy, beautiful, art-filled space.
"The joint welcome and arts center allows the city to have a presence that extends beyond normal business hours," said Marty Allen, Suwanee City Manager. "City Hall is closed on weekends and after 5 pm, which is when a large percentage of our visitors are in Town Center. Collaboration with the NGAA allows us to have a welcoming presence when Town Center is at its busiest."
Located at 3930 Charleston Market Street, half of the 2,300 square-foot facility is dedicated to welcoming visitors with information, Suwanee swag and an art gallery, while the other half hosts art classes, camps and workshops for the community.
The NGAA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the appreciation of local art through exhibition, festivals and other media. Based in Suwanee, the association maintains an open membership policy where artists of all types are welcome to be a part of the organization.
The city's annual contract with NGAA to host the welcome center in the art gallery is funded out of the hotel/motel tax fund, which is intended to go towards such programs. The unique partnership won a 2018 Georgia Downtown Development Award.
"What better way for Suwanee to say 'Welcome!' than with art?" commented Suwanee's Assistant City Manager Denise Brinson. "Public art has become an integral part of Suwanee's identity. It's not enough to simply create a place. That place has to come alive – through art, events, activities and just making things fun. People need a reason to keep coming back and connecting."
"Arts and cultural activities are at the heart of Suwanee. The NGAA Center for the Arts and the City of Suwanee Welcome Center does just that, helping to bring that energy to the community."


NATO has sent more troops into Kosovo after a week of violence between ethnic Albanians and Serbs in an attempt to stop an escalation of the conflict.
Serbian-Canadian film director Boris Malagursky believes this shows how deeply the alliance is concerned about the situation in the Balkans.
Tensions were raised last week when Kosovar police seized two crossing checkpoints to impose a ban on imports from Serbia.
Border violence killed one Kosovar policeman and brought peacekeeping forces under fire.
Possible negotiation between the sides, however, can hardly change anything now, Malagursky says.

Recycling is one means of ensuring the items we have finished using are returned to the resources pool and either get turned into something else or are cleaned and reused. Recycling not only helps to conserve raw materials, but often helps to save on additional energy that would otherwise be used in producing any new products. But more importantly, for Calaveras County, it reduces the amount of materials going into our Rock Creek landfill.
Yet not everyone feels motivated to recycle. We hope that with some understanding of the benefits of recycling to our community, it will become second nature. We encourage you to find ways to reduce not only the amount of trash, but the toxicity of the trash we throw away; reuse containers and products; recycle as much as possible and buy products made with recycled content.

Some info on the upcoming December update for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been posted by Japanese website Crazygamers, and translated by the guys at the Metal Gear Solid Reddit page. They provide some new info on changes coming to Metal Gear Online and the FOB part of the game, including a first look at Raiden suit and the SKULLS Unit. You can see the full translation below (some of the information was already provided through the official Metal Gear Solid website).
MGSV:TPP December Update partially revealed!
Free placements of Gun Cameras and land mines in FOB, Raiden and SKULLS debut, MGO host migration and more!
On yesterday's "PHANTOM PAIN MGO & FOB Update Special!" broadcast on Famitsu's Nico Nico channel, part of the December update for METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN has been revealed. Here we will introduce the announced changes.
Featuring a special mode for placements of cameras and land mines, which seems to be included in addition to standard placements up to the player's choice. You can also check the placements for a set period of time.

SKULLS units have appeared on the FOB Platforms. Conditions for doing this are yet unclear.
Other FOB-related updates include: "Challenge Tasks" are added with rewards for completing them, friend connectivity enhanced to allow friend supporters including infiltration.
According to designers' notes revealed yesterday, host migration has become possible. In the event that the host leaves an ongoing game, one player in the room will be selected to become the next host and the match will reset. All players with exception of the host will gain EXP from the match.

Q: Finding peaks and oscillations in a signal I am working on a problem where I'm analysing a signal and trying to find a measure of whether a roughly Gaussian shape appears or oscillations - though the oscillations may not be periodic.
For example, in these two images, I am plotting the first left and right singular vectors of an SVD decomposition of my image. From there I wish to detect the oscillatory behaviour on the left and the inverted Gaussian shape on the right, i.e. being able to return a metric that says yes, this images contains an oscillatory/single vertical streak(s).
I've tried things like autocorrelation, cross correlation but I'm not having very consistent results. I wonder if anyone can point me to a technique or literature that may help me here. Many thanks.

A: This looks like something which can be done with wavelets analysis.
You can try a naive version, take some function whose integral is zero (seems like you can take a triangle) and calculate the convolution of your signals with scaled versions of the function, If there's an underlying oscillatory signal you'll see it when the proper scale is used. I did something similar once, and there are some delicate normalization issues you'll have to take into account, but I think this might be a good direction.

People often ask me whats the most important thing in franchising, its transparency. Our childrens yoga franchise model is very simple yet effective and our ethical approach as a franchisor means our franchisees worry less about the legalities meaning more time to focus on running their own childrens yoga franchise. Potential franchisees who enquire will always have an opportunity if they wish to speak to our team about their experience with our franchise. I mean who better to speak to than the ladies that lead the franchises than themselves. They will give you an honest answer about life as the role of a franchisee and running their own businesses. This week we hear from our Kalma Baby Hartlepool Franchisee Rachel who has recently joined us in the last 4 month so is still new to the team….
Hi, I'm Rachel and I own the Kalma Baby Hartlepool, Peterlee, Trimdon and Wingate franchise. In 2017 I began my kalma baby yoga journey with my daughter Isabella who was only six weeks old. We were lucky enough to join Vicki's classes who owns Kalma Baby Durham and we have enjoyed every session since. It has been amazing seeing the benefits that yoga has had on her development, both physically and socially. The classes were always welcoming, supportive and a place for parents to bond with their children in a relaxed and fun environment. It was great to see the teachers within Kalma Baby promoting this too.
When the opportunity came up to be part of Kalma Baby I was so excited to join the team. For the past 9 years I have been a Primary Teacher, ranging from Early Years to Key Stage 2. I have always loved working with children, constantly being amazed and proud when they learn something new. I could not wait to teach new yogis and pass on the yoga benefits to them just like I had experienced with Isabella.
Although I am new to the franchise, after only starting before the summer, even after few short months I can see that it is the best thing I've chosen to do although it is also the toughest and most frightening. I've known for a long time that my career on teaching was making me unhappy. Getting the work life balance was tough as all teachers will know, so when my daughter arrived I knew that I wanted a change. One of the things that attracted me to Kalma Baby was the honest approach in its franchise model and support it gave when it came to the processes of buying it.
Luckily, I have managed to find an amazing job that lets me have more time at home with my daughter and partner, yet still allows me to work with children, parents and other teachers. I feel that I have the best of both worlds as I can still do the job that I love but in an environment which is more flexible.
I won't lie, owning my own childrens yoga franchise is also slightly terrifying. Promoting a business is something that I've never had to do in my teaching career so I am on a constant learning curve. Also, leaving a job behind that I was familiar with for 9 years, going into something so new brings questions and a small amount of worry. What if it doesn't work? However, these worries are short lived when you realise what a great team I am surrounded by. All of the franchisees at Kalma Baby have a huge amount of knowledge and support to offer and then I realise I am truly lucky.
I am so privileged to work for a successful, friendly, reliable and approachable childrens yoga franchise, doing a job that I love and am excited about doing each day. This makes the new start all the more worthwhile. What more could you want from a job?

Washoku or Japanese Cooking is one of my greatest passions in life. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a Japanese home in the South American city of Sao Paulo, and have, since moving to London 20 years ago, pursued my interest to learn more about this cuisine.
Since leaving investment banking in 2011, I moved to Tokyo for a couple of months to do Japanese food research and recipe writing. I also took private Japanese cookery classes during the day and worked at a Japanese Izakaya (casual Japanese restaurant) at night (more about these experiences here). I returned to London in early 2012 to start the Grand Diplome at Le Cordon Bleu and the Japanese Home Cooking Supper Club which I now run from my home in Islington.
The supper club has recently been reviewed by The Evening Standard, you can read the full review here.
If you are interested in learning more about Japanese cuisine, beyond sushi and sashimi, and would like to attend one of the Japanese Home Cooking Supper Club events I run, take a look at The London Foodie Supper Club page for forthcoming dates or contact me on luizharaAThotmailDOTcom using the subject line JAPANESE SUPPER CLUB.

The Vatican premiere of Stabat mater in the Sistine Chapel
On 22 April audiences around the world were able to watch the performance of James MacMillan's Stabat mater from the Sistine Chapel.
Available for one month on Classic FM's website, the concert was a rare honour, bestowed on the Genesis Foundation, as few performances are given in the Sistine Chapel and even fewer are given by ensembles not based in the Vatican. The Sixteen became the first professional British choir to sing there in over 20 years.
"Doubtless many extraordinary events have happened in the Sistine Chapel in the half-millennium since Michelangelo painted its glorious, multifaceted, ceiling…yet it's hard to imagine these astounding visual evocation's of God's relationship with humanity being more fittingly complemented by music than they were on Sunday evening.
"The power and passion with which the 26 professional singers tackled MacMillan's ferocious choral demands…sent tingles down the spine."
– The Times, read here.
"This is a story that spoke to people in the 13th century. The performance last Sunday shows it still speaks powerfully to those in the 21st"
– The Tablet, read here.
"Amid the pomp and circumstance, this was a celebration of the arts, of the enduring power of human creativity. "The spoken word will continue to prevail," Studzinski says. "Music, film and all of culture is essential to life. It holds a mirror up to the soul. That hasn't been taken over by AI yet, and I seriously question whether it will."

How long will your dependents need your income?
The answer depends on your individual circumstances. If for example, you have three children under the age of six and you're planning to provide a tertiary education for each of them, you're looking at a good 20–25 years before the youngest is able to stand on his or her own two feet financially. If on the other hand, it's your parents who rely on your income to make it through the month, the time frame may be shorter.
What monthly expenses would they need to cover?
This calculation is key and plucking a number out of the air simply isn't good enough. It's worth taking the time to put a proper budget together in order to determine exactly how much your family needs to get through each month comfortably – there are some fantastic budget apps out there if spreadsheets aren't your thing. Remember to include things like child care if this responsibility falls to you, annual expenses like TV and car licences and new school uniforms, as well as unexpected expenses like home and vehicle repairs.
What future expenses would they need to cover?
Education is an obvious one, especially if you hope to send your children to their tertiary institution of choice, but there are other big expenses to consider. A car is one of them, and as you're probably going to want your kids to have the safest and most reliable one you can afford, you need to budget accordingly. Then, what about being able to give your daughter the wedding she's always dreamed of or being able to leave enough for lobola for your son's future wife? Considering these expenses now means that even though you may not be there to celebrate the milestones, you can still ensure that your dreams for your children are realised.
Once you've arrived at answers to each of these questions, take into account any investments and savings you may be leaving behind and you should be left with a fairly good sense of the amount of life insurance you'll need. If you'd like something to compare this figure to, it may be worth testing it against one or more of the many calculators available online.


DECATUR – The Decatur Public Library will make technology and mentors available to at-risk Decatur youth through a state grant that helps children who lack Internet access at home, State Senator Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) announced today.
Library officials were awarded a $12,200 grant from the Illinois Secretary of State's Project Next Generation program.
Project Next Generation grants, funded by the Illinois State Library, allow public libraries to pair technology with tutoring to help students between 10 and 18 develop skills they may find useful in school and later in the workforce. Grants are awarded based upon community need and allow access to technology and computers that typically would not be available to the participating students.
The goal of the grant is to increase at-risk students' confidence through project-based learning, reinforce their abilities and learning, enhance their ability to deal with life experiences and the future, and more.
The Decatur Public Library is at 130 N. Franklin St. and online at decaturlibrary.org.

French Imam Publishes Book Criticizing Islamization In France
The Italian news agency is reporting on the publication of a book written by a French imam strongly criticizing many aspects of Islam in France including the Muslim Brotherhood and the Union of Islamic Organisations of France (UOIF), the French Muslim Brotherhood organization. According to the report:
(ANSAmed) An advocate for an Islam that respects the values of France known for his position against the full veil, the imam of the Mosque of Drancy (near Paris), Hassen Chalghoumi, published a book caustic book, "Pour l'Islam de France", in which he criticises threats of Islamification, which in his view are looming over the country where he has lived since 1996. In bookstores tomorrow, the night before the end of Ramadan, the pamphlet, reports Le Parisien today, fiercely attacks the burqa, as well as forced marriages, female genital mutilations, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Union of Islamic Organisations of France (UOIF). His heavy criticism is destined to provoke violent reactions: it's no coincidence that the 37-year-old Tunisian imam is always surrounded by bodyguards after months of hostile demonstrations following his statements about the full veil that led to the closure for several days of the mosque in Seine-Saint-Denis department, which has a high population of Muslim immigrants. Now he has said enough to the constant postponements to the publication of the book. "It is urgent to take a stance, I want Islam to find its place in France, because I see anti-Muslim racism mounting on the one hand, and Muslim radicalisation on the other hand," he said to Le Parisien. He has also been fighting to bring the Jewish community closer, he has accused the Muslim Brotherhood and UOIF of trying to alter French Islam through a war over control of French mosques, and he underlined that "it was Tariq Ramadan (the controversial theologian) who caused a build-up of racism in Switzerland, which led to the vote against minarets". Fear about the consequences of the book? No, he does not fear for himself, but for his children, "for their future in France".
Previous posts have discussed an interview with Chalghoumi and statements by a UOIF leader which blamed Chalghoumi for a mob attack on his mosque
The UOIF is widely regarded as representing the Muslim Brotherhood in France. Fouad Alaoui and Lahj Breze took over the leadership of the UOIF in 1993 and were known as the "Bordelaise Clan", a reference to the French town in which they met as students. They were generally regarded as more moderate than their predecessors Abdallah Ben Mansour and Ahmed Jaballah who are both serving as officers of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE). Foud Alaoui is also a FIOE officer.

A bizarre bug has hit Google Maps that has made swastikas appear at locations around the world.
The issue seems to be primarily affecting the Google Maps icons for hotels in Europe.
Reports of the bug began surfacing on Friday when users submitted complaints to Google via Twitter.
'I opened my maps and was looking for hotels in the surrounding area, when I noticed the swastikas,' a woman named Katie from Dublin, Ireland, told HuffPost.
'I thought it was very strange so I took a screenshot. That's when I tweeted Google maps questioning it.
'I've since closed the app and reopened it and it's back to normal with the bed. This is the only time I've ever noticed it,' she added.
Users outside Europe also encountered the bizarre bug.
'Hey @sheratonhotels and @googlemaps I'm in San Juan, Puerto Rico,' one user tweeted.
The woman from Dublin shared what the bug looked like in a series of accompanying tweets.
