The directorate-general for International Cooperation (DGIS) of the Dutch ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has been involved in microfinance since its early days. This goes back to the registration in the Netherlands as a 'stichting' of Women's World Banking in 1979.
Other lines of approach include projects supported by embassies, relations with Dutch development NGOs in the run-up to the establishment of NPM in 2003, and membership of the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor, the donor consortium and knowledge center hosted by the World Bank that was established in 1995.
After the International Year of Microcredit, princess Máxima became a member of a UN Advisers Group, since 2009 she is the UN SG's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development, and in 2011 she became honorary patron of the G20's Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion.
Current Dutch policy follows developments in the industry as well as national priorities. This implies renewed interest for the demand side (with regard to financial education, product design and responsible finance), continued emphasis on sustainable outreach (in part supported by branchless banking), diversification of financial services, as well as appropriate regulation and supervision. It also implies the broader concept of inclusive finance, extending from microcredit to e-transactions, from the micro level to small entrepreneurs, all the while making good use of the momentum provided by the G20.

Лхаса, Гьи-Чу; ранее Ки-Чу, Кьи-Чу (уст. Джичу; ) — река в Китае, на юге Тибета, левый приток Брахмапутры.

География
Длина реки составляет около 450 км, площадь бассейна — 26 000 км². Джичу берёт начало на юго-восточных склонах хребта Ньенчен-Тангла на высотах более  протекает в юго-западном направлении. В верховьях течёт в глубоком узком ущелье, в низовьях — по плоскому дну широкой долины в русле шириной  где судоходна (от устья до города Лхаса) на высотах

Река питается талыми (снеговыми и ледниковыми, интенсивное таяние начинается в мае) водами (20-30 %), однако большая часть воды поступает с летними муссонными дождями, которые продолжаются с июля по сентябрь. Средний расход воды  наибольший — в сентябре (17 % от годового стока). Устойчивая низкая зимняя межень, местами река замерзает.

На реке есть небольшая ГЭС, паромные переправы, мосты. Долина Джичу — важный сельскохозяйственный район Тибета. На берегах расположены город Лхаса и многочисленные буддийские монастыри.

For one, don't try to corner them.
Few people today know that Robert McNamara, the man who had President John F. Kennedy's ear as U.S. defense secretary during the Cuban Missile Crisis, met Fidel Castro face-to-face years later in Cuba to reflect on the slip to the edge of nuclear armageddon. Or that, at the same gathering, former CIA Deputy Director Ray Cline -- who led countless plots to kill Castro in addition to the operation that discovered the Cuban missile sites -- cordially thanked the Cuban leader for the visa to attend the conference. Castro feigned a look of shock, and said, "Why, Mr. Cline, it is our pleasure. Allow me to say how grateful we are that -- this time -- you asked for one."
In 1989 and 1992, I worked to convene meetings in Moscow and Havana with the key players in 1962's harrowing "Thirteen Days in October," bringing together former enemies to talk about the events that led to the brink of the abyss. I sat at the table with former Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, the legendary "Mr. Nyet"; former Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin; Sergei Khrushchev, editor of the secret memoirs of his father, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev; Robert McNamara; Fidel Castro; former National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy, and others. As director of the Harvard-Soviet Joint Study on Crisis Prevention, I was fortunate to participate in these unprecedented candid conversations that revealed how close we had come that autumn to a radioactive nuclear winter.
Most striking to me as a young man back then were the words of the chastened and humbled elders who had so narrowly avoided inflicting mass destruction on the world. They spoke of the dangers of misjudgment, miscalculation, and the unintended consequences of military action. Upon discovery of the missile sites in Cuba, several of Kennedy's top advisors called for an immediate airstrike and invasion. But, as the world first learned at our meeting, the Soviets had delivered 100 tactical nuclear weapons that the local Soviet commander could use without additional codes from Moscow. Had we invaded, the weapons would have killed tens of thousands of U.S. marines -- and may even have struck Miami. As McNamara affirmed, the United States would have responded with nuclear weapons, triggering a full-scale nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union that would have killed more than 150 million people. McNamara had no doubt: "Where would it have ended? In utter disaster for the world."
The veterans of the missile crisis repeatedly pointed to our shared humanity and our shared fallibility. McNamara said: "I think the first lesson, to me as a participant, was to learn, in a way I have never forgotten, that human beings are fallible .... We are subject to misinformation, miscalculation, and misjudgment." JFK's special counsel, Ted Sorensen, baldly said: "There is plenty of blame to be shared by all three countries represented here today ... and there is no such thing as precise calculations of the future of our actions."
Today we see the many unintended consequences of military action -- even with the best intentions -- in the Arab Spring, with the tragic cost to Syrian children, the sectarian vengeance between the Sunni majority and the ruling minority Alawites. The toppling of Muammar Gaddafi became a lesson to rogue regimes around the world that they should develop and keep nuclear weapons to ensure their survival (and not negotiate their WMD programs away to the West as Gaddafi did), or how in the chaos of the civil war in Libya, weapons disappeared from their depots and ended up in the hands of radical Islamists who now control northern Mali, Libya's neighbor. You cut one head off the mythical Hydra, and the beast grows two more.
A second lesson is that human beings can become extreme, irrational, and suicidal under crisis conditions. Our meetings showed how much more reckless revolutionary authoritarian regimes can be when cornered, reminding us today of Iran, North Korea, Libya, or Syria. At our meetings, we learned for the first time of the cable that Fidel Castro sent to Khrushchev calling on him to be the first to fire nuclear missiles, to launch a preemptive strike against downtown Manhattan and other major American cities with a warhead 60 times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima. Realizing that events were spinning out of control, Khrushchev broadcast over open radio his pledge to remove the missiles. We heard from Khrushchev's secret memoirs his inner thoughts about Castro's cable: "This is insane. Not only is he preparing to die himself, he wants to drag us with him. Only lunatics or suicides, who themselves want to perish and to destroy the whole world before they die, could do this."
At the table, Castro admitted that he fully supported use of tactical nuclear weapons and firing the missiles if the U.S. took military action. Fortunately, JFK resisted calls to invade and Khrushchev raced to accept a negotiated end to the crisis. We got a clear view of Castro's mindset, driven by nationalism and fanaticism, a peculiar product of the Cuban experience, the mythology that the country had created in its struggle as a small nation against a neighboring goliath. Castro was completely resigned to the fact that they were all going to die if the U.S. invaded. And it would be a heroic death for a just cause. In the South Pacific in WWII, Kennedy had seen Japanese soldiers and civilians commit suicide rather than surrender. He learned that overwhelming force does not mean your opponent will capitulate. We saw similar behavior most recently in Libya, where the Gaddafi regime chose to let the country be devastated and "fight to the last bullet" rather than capitulate to rebels and the demands of the established big powers -- of France, the U.K. and the United States. It took 10,000 NATO strikes and 30,000 dead. The death toll in Syria has already reached 30,000 and Assad is still presiding over the destruction of his country.
Another lesson has to do with the "red lines" and the nuclear crisis with Iran. In 1962, JFK never did use the term "red line." His actions provide no basis for the "lesson" that George W. Bush proffered to justify preemptive action in Iraq, nor is there a direct parallel with Iran. Kennedy did announce that the missiles were unacceptable and demanded that Khrushchev remove them. JFK was willing to risk war to reduce the chance of war. But Kennedy's military blockade of Cuba to prevent further offensive weapon components from reaching the island was first and foremost a way to buy time to negotiate and find a way out of the crisis. (In fact, as revealed in our meetings, the Soviets had already delivered the nuclear warheads for the missiles, something the CIA had never been able to confirm. Trucks loaded with warheads were in fact parked next to the missiles on their launch pads).
JFK's position was "Never negotiate from fear, but never fear to negotiate." He took all measures to avoid pushing his opponent into a situation where the choice was between humiliating defeat or a devastating war -- a lesson that can help us defuse conflicts and create a more peaceful world now.

Q: Fluent NHibernate dynamic DTO query I'm trying to write a dynamic query using Fluent NHibernate and struggling to work out how to apply the dynamic where criteria.
This is for an ASP.NET MVC5 project, where I wish to display a table of DTOs in a view, with the ability for the user to apply a filter on any of the rows. The filter must be passed to the database for performance reasons.
Say I have the following class definitions:
// Entity in database
public class EntityA
{
    public int Id {get; set;}
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public IEnumerable<EntityB> Children {get; set;}
}

// Entity in database
public class EntityB
{
    public int Id {get; set;}
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public EntityA Parent {get; set;}
}

// DTO that is displayed in view / filter criteria is based on
public class Dto
{
    public int Id {get; set;}
    public string AName {get; set;}
    public string BName {get; set;}
}

I am receiving the user's filter criteria in an IEnumerable<FilterProperty>, which looks like:
public class FilterProperty
{
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public dynamic Value {get; set;}
}

My NHibernate query is as follows:
EntityA aliasA = null;
EntityB aliasB = null;
Dto aliasDto = null;

var query = QueryOver.Of(() => aliasB)
    .JoinAlias(() => aliasA.Parent, () => aliasA)
    .SelectList(l => l
        .Select(() => aliasB.Id).WithAlias(() => aliasDto.Id)
        .Select(() => aliasA.Name).WithAlias(() => aliasDto.AName)
        .Select(() => aliasB.Name).WithAlias(() => aliasDto.BName)
    )
    .TransformUsing(Transformers.AliasToBean<Dto>());

Where I'm stumped is how do I translate the flat list of filters against the DTO, into expression trees against the entity objects that I can pass to the .Where() NHibernate method?
Is it possible to apply a restriction criteria post transformation?

A: 1. Create criteria for filtering.
You might want to create separate method/helper/convertor for this.
    Dictionary<string, string> mappings = new Dictionary<string, string>(){
       {"Id",    "aliasB.Id"},
       {"AName", "aliasA.Name"},
       {"BName", "aliasB.Name"}
    };
    List<FilterProperty> filters = new List<FilterProperty>();
    Junction filterCreteria = Restrictions.Conjunction();
    foreach (var filter in filters)
    {
        var mappedPropertyName = mappings[filter.Name];
        filterCreteria.Add(Restrictions.Eq(mappedPropertyName, filter.Value));
    }

2. Use it in your query:
 .Where(filterCreteria)

Q: Polar vs. Rectangular Integral I am working on a problem set that requires one to convert a polar equation into rectangular form, integrate using the rectangular equation and then integrate using the original polar equation.
The polar equation is:
$r = \frac{1}{1+\sin\theta}$, which I converted to:
$y = \frac{-1}{2}(x^2 - 1)$
I then computed the integral between -1 and 1:
$$\int_{-1}^{1}{\frac{-1}{2}(x^2-1)}\,dx=\frac{-1}{2}(\frac{x^3}{3} - x)$$
evaluated at 1 and -1, gives a value of $\frac{2}{3}$. No complaints.
However, when I integrate using the polar equation (using 0 and $\pi$ as my lower and upper limits, respectively), I keep ending up with $2$ as an answer.
$$\int_{0}^{\pi}{\frac{1}{1+\sin\theta}}$$
for which the antiderivative (one of them, at least) is
$$\tan\theta - \sec\theta$$ evaluated at 0 and $\pi$.
I have checked both of these with an online integral calculator, and keep coming up with the same results. Can anyone clarify the reason for this discrepancy? Or maybe my math is off . . .
Thanks !

A: The problem is that the area element in polar coordinates should be $\frac{1}{2}r^2 d\theta$: as the angle changes by $\delta\theta$, the area changes by roughly the area of the sector with radius $r$ and angle $\delta\theta$, which is $\frac{1}{2}r^2\delta\theta$ (this isn't quite right, since in fact $r(\theta+\delta\theta) = r(\theta)+\delta\theta r'(\theta)+\dotsb$, but the other contributions are higher-order and so disappear in the limit as $\delta\theta \to 0$ in the sum).

A: That's because you're using the wrong expression to calculate the area in polar coordinates, it should be
$$
\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{2}r^2{\rm d}\theta = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^{\pi}\frac{1}{(1 + \sin\theta)^2}{\rm d}\theta = -\left.\frac{1}{6}\frac{\cos(3\theta/2) - 3\sin(\theta/2)}{6[\cos(\theta/2) + \sin(\theta/2)]^3}\right|_{0}^{\pi} = \color{blue}{\frac{2}{3}}
$$

Home / Trust Information / Why buy an irrevocable trust to hold dinars before revaluation?
If something is considered "income" it is subject to the income tax and must be paid. "Income" is defined in Section 61 of the IRC. It is money that you earn by your physical and/or mental labor (wages, salary, commissions and professional fees). It is also profit from the operation of a business. This is pretty straight forward and is what most people think of as income. It is payable by "taxable entities". What are taxable entities? You are a taxable entity as are corporations and some LLCs. Irrevocable Trusts are taxable entities, but living trusts are not. Interest on debt obligations is "income" as are dividends from stock which is nothing more than a proportionate share of profit distributed to the owners of a corporation. Rent paid by tenants to the owner of the premises they occupy is income to the owner.
The profit people obtain for something they purchased and sold for more than they paid is under certain circumstances, "income." This kind of income is known as capital gain, and as such is subject to various rules, which ultimately determine if a tax is due, and if so; the rate of the tax. The rules for this kind of income are dependent on a number of factors, including, the "taxable entity" and the type of property it is. Most people consider capital gains as coming from the sale of stock or mutual funds at a profit. Profit from the sale of real estate is gain, and if it is for the sale of your principal residence it is subject to another set of rules which determine whether or not it is subject to tax, and if so, the rate. As you can see not all money is taxed the same way, in fact, if you borrow money, that money is not considered income at all, although the interest you pay on the loan to the lender is considered income to it. Which brings us to the point of this article.
(1) In general. The preceding provisions of this section shall not apply to any section 988 transaction entered into by an individual which is a personal transaction.
(2) Exclusion for certain personal transactions. If nonfunctional currency is disposed of by an individual in any transaction, and such transaction is a personal transaction, no gain shall be recognized for purposes of this subtitle by reason of changes in exchange rates after such currency was acquired by such individual and before such disposition. The preceding sentence shall not apply if the gain which would otherwise be recognized on the transaction exceeds $200.
(B) section 212 (other than that part of section 212 dealing with expenses incurred in connection with taxes).
In effect, if you own IQD or any other under-valued foreign currency in hopes that it will revalue, you will be taxed on the profit if it is over $200.00. The owners of IQD will generate much more than $200.00 if the IQD revalues at any significant amount as is hoped by the owners thereof.
A previous memorandum that was authored by Trusts Unlimited's counsel addresses the consequences resulting from waiting until after revaluation to create an irrevocable trust; going so far as to suggest that the mere creation of an irrevocable trust and transferring unexchanged IQD to the trust could trigger a tax on the mere transfer of the IQD even though no cash was actually received: a tax the grantor (you if you wait) would have to pay. This memorandum is available on the Trusts Unlimited web site and will not be repeated here. Suffice it to say, that is enough to justify the creation of an irrevocable trust pre-revaluation.
Other sections of the IRC may very well apply and they are Secs. 641, 643(3) and 1221. These sections deal with the taxation of irrevocable complex trusts which is what Trusts Unlimited's Trusts are, how "capital assets" are defined and when read in conjunction with one another might enable those who own their IQD in irrevocable trusts to defer their gain when exchanged.
Trusts Unlimited is unaware of any cases, regulations, private letter rulings (PLR) or regulation rulings (Reg. Rul) which might affect treatment of profit from the exchange of highly appreciated foreign currency, either pro or con, so this article does not undertake to promote it as such. However, it should remembered that the IRC places a great deal of emphasis on the meanings and usage of words. In Sec. 988(e) it refers to the profit derived from the exchange of appreciated foreign currency as gain. It is significant to note that while Sec. 988(a-f) treats profit related to foreign currency as ordinary income, the very first sentence in 988 reads: "The preceding provisions of this section shall not apply to any section 988 transaction entered into by an individual which is a personal transaction". Since IQD held as assets of an irrevocable, complex trust could be considered a capital asset, it is arguable that Secs. 641 and 643 could operate to defer any gain resulting from the revaluation and exchange of IQD or any other undervalued currency for that matter until it is distributed to the beneficiaries of the trust. Probably the best course of action might be to treat the profit as ordinary income, pay the tax and then seek a refund either directly from the IRS, or through action in the U.S. District Court. In this way, if the Service or the Court agrees, you could get a refund, and if it disagrees, you will not be penalized for failing to pay. The thing to keep in mind is that without a funded irrevocable, complex trust in effect before a revaluation, you will not be able to take advantage of any of these sections, and would have to pay the tax yourself without any deferral whether it is considered capital gain or ordinary income, not to mention the possibility of a personal audit.
(B) paid, permanently set aside, or to be used for the purposes specified in section 642 (c). Losses from the sale or exchange of capital assets shall be excluded, except to the extent such losses are taken into account in determining the amount of gains from the sale or exchange of capital assets which are paid, credited, or required to be distributed to any beneficiary during the taxable year. The exclusion under section 1202 shall not be taken into account.

"The Yard" Part 3: Making it work: for the city, Ryan Co., the Vikings, and (most important) – the public
By Max Musicant and Sam Newberg | December 10, 2013
A (much needed) Vision for The Yard
In the past month plans for the Vikings stadium, Downtown East and a new park, The Yard have raced ahead at lightning speed. As this has occurred, we have written two pieces that have appeared on Streets.mn. The first (by Max) and a follow up (by Sam) raised questions and outlined a vision for what The Yard can and should be.
Sidewalk Tour: Minneapolis Skyway System and the Last Holidazzle
Main Street – Faribault
We'll focus on that here: that The Yard should be the go-to gathering place for public events and celebrations with attractions, programming and management. A place with events like festivals, markets, ice skating, fireworks, and performances all draw people.
A Way Forward: Why The Yard needs to attract 1.9 million annual visitors on non-game days
By far the most important piece of a successful park is not its design but rather its programming. In order to become the go-to gathering place, it must draw people for everyday events and programming throughout the year. The current vision for Vikings game days is a very good start for those eight days, but must be replicated for the other 357.
Under current designs, The Yard will need to draw 1.9 million visitors every year. That's a lot. For perspective, attractions like Minnehaha Falls and the Stone Arch Bridge get just over 1 million every year. We arrive at this number by taking the proposed square footage of The Yard, 183,000 square feet, divided by a standard of 300 square feet per person to make a park feel safe. Multiply that by 10 hours a day, 350 days a year. Subtract out "organic visitors" (ie Wells Fargo employees and new residents, assuming 1% usage at any one time) and you arrive at 1.9 million.
In other words, an underutilized park doesn't feel safe, and indeed may not be! The way to overcome this is proper programming. How do we do that?
Less Fort Snelling Ball Fields, More Lake Harriet Programming
Most of the talk around The Yard has focused on it being a sort of multipurpose field with some formal ball fields and possibly a concession similar to Tin Fish or Sea Salt. The concession is a very welcome addition, but 180,000 square feet with only a single restaurant and a bunch of space to kick around a soccer ball or play frisbee is not going to attract 5,000+ visitors a day.
The park committee should take a lesson from other world class urban parks (Part 2 covers those nicely), but also Lake Harriet right here in our back yard. The Lake Harriet area is so well programmed with activities, events, and experiences that it would still be great even without the lake itself. Think about it: great food, summer music/movies, playgrounds, beaches, the historic trolley, places to sit and people watch, woven together by trails and small, flexible open spaces woven in between, and very well connected to the surrounding area. Active edges make active interiors and we need to make sure that:
The design includes many features that are destination activities. Examples from other downtown parks around the country include fireworks, ice rinks, restaurant, stage, vendors, festivals
That there are reliable and sufficient sources operating funds. Funding should come from assessments of nearby property owners and less from concessions (at least in the early years). Concession revenues will be uncertain and unreliable at first. See: electronic pull tabs
That the space is actively programmed with activities year round – ice skating, St. Patrick's Day festival, July 4th fireworks, Octoberfest, Holiday event.
Comparing The Yard to similar downtown parks throughout the country, we both argued that while green and natural elements are important, activity, programming and management are more so. We can't mistake that greening will automatically attract enough people to make The Yard a great place. The design of the park should include seating and shade and enough pedestrian connections to encourage multiple routes and movement around and through the park, but also appropriate surfaces to accommodate crowds and vendors, for example. The biggest mistake we could make is too much grass that will just get trampled constantly.
The Key to Success: Operating and Programming Funds. But who should pay and how much?
The Newberg post also illustrated that $25 million in additional capital funds will likely be needed for full build out as well as the reliable sourcing of between $2.5-$5 million in annual management and programming funds. This is not chump change.
Obviously the Vikings have their sights on The Yard for tailgating activities. In the current term sheet before the City Council this week, the Vikings and MSFA actually will have exclusive use rights to the eastern portion The Yard for 58 days a year (12.C.a). I agree with RT Rybak and others that this can and should be one of the best football and urban experiences in the country.
BUT, there are obvious items that need to be addressed. Going back to Bryant Park in New York for a moment. From 1994-2009 one Bryant Park was home to NY Fashion Week for two weeks every year. The event brought a tremendous amount of activity and publicity, but also the unfortunate consequence of preventing the public from using most of the park (as seen below). The Vikings and the MSFA should absolutely hold tailgating festivities in The Yard, but they should not have a monopoly over the use of park space on non-game days.
Bryant Park, NYC – Dominated by NY Fashion Week
To the Vikings' credit, they have agreed to contribute $1 million to The Yard improvements. By our reckoning, however, based on the possible $25 million improvement cost, and that the Vikings/MSFA get to use The Yard 58 days per year (16%), they should contribute at least $4 million to development of the park. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, 16% of ongoing management and programming is $400,000 per year. For all of the public dollars going to benefit the Vikings and MSFA use of a public space, the least we can expect is for those who benefit most to pay their fair share.
Recommendations to the City Council and Park Committee
The Yard can and should be a real asset for Wells Fargo, the Viking, the City, Ryan Cos., and – most importantly – the public. Here are our recommendations:
Take the operations of The Yard out of Ryan Cos' Term Sheet: Ryan Cos. has committed to building out the basics for The Yard, but will not fund, construct, nor maintain the "ultimate" park. This is very reasonable as this is not their area of expertise. BUT, that said, since Ryan is not on the hook to fully build out or maintain The Yard, they should not be negotiating the terms of its ongoing use in the place of a to-be-determined owner/operator.
In the case that the MSFA and the Viking's retain the exclusive usage of the park for up to 58 days (rather than the 10 days a year we recommend) than they should commit to funding 20% of the capital costs AND operating/programming funds toward The Yard for the length of their usage agreement.
Commitments and legislation authorizing for operating dollars should be made upfront, not after the fact. As we noted before, this is the main determining factor of success for The Yard, not an afterthought left to be dealt with later
Park and Portland should not only be narrowed and made two-way streets, but become curbless, instead relying on bollards to define borders, etc., in order to make the park more visually connected, minimizing the disruption of a street bisecting it. Mid-block crosswalks should be considered.

Adriano was curious to see how the same motor skills could be applied to different mediums and allow more freedom for the composer. Ever since making that shift he has moved beyond such parameters to exploring the multiple ways in which sound can interact with all facets of the body itself, from attachable electrodes, to motion sensors, to wearable technologies.
"With backgrounds in music, teaching, psychology, and anthropology, Adriano Clemente is truly a creative polymath" (Ableton).
Adriano has graduated in Clinical Psychology from La Sapienza University of Rome which helped him to blend his passion for music with scientific interest for human interaction. Clemente has been merging Psychoacoustic and Sound Synthesis studies and has been invited to lecture for prestigious universities such as School of Visual Art NY, Columbia University, Stony Brooks University and Brooklyn College.
Adriano has recently worked on a Audio/Video installation for the Super Bowl Boulevard in New York City, which featured 12 LED screens and a sound-interactive walkable platform all located in Herald Square, Manhattan. He is also responsible for introducing his interactive Sound Design approach into the fashion world at the recent Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week for the ØDD's runway.
Clemente has composed several soundtracks and won a prize at the Torino Film Festival in 2005. He also has closely worked with the director Graham Elliot (SVA) on the creation of NY in Motion, a documentary about NY's motion graphic, featured in more than ten festivals worldwide.
He is currently focusing on the development of sound and orchestrations through the use of Bio Feedback. Clemente has worked with MGMT and RCA Records but is best known for his unique approach and pioneering of interactive sound/video installations with the Kin-Hact Project in which a body's movement orchestrates the composition.

Clemente is a frequent consultant on new musical technology for such prestigious companies as Disney Imagineering, Korg, Dubspot, Splice, Ableton.


I am currently enjoying my summer holiday here in Australia. I am resting, rejuvenating and refueling ready for the year ahead. As part of this process I have been catching up on my reading. As I read today I stumbled across this phrase in a beautiful book I am reconnecting with titled Infinite Purpose.
This made me smile deeply. I profess to be the 'joy-fueled teacher' yet sometimes this can feel like a seemingly impossible task in the midst of piles of paperwork and hectic, fast paced days.
Holidays provide me with the opportunity to refuel with joy ready to gleam upon every student that walks into my classroom. I haven't had to hand in that piece of paperwork, file absentee notes or track outcomes for three weeks; I haven't had to sit through a meeting that did not require me to actually be there in the first place; I haven't had to tell my own children that they would have to wait a moment while I just finished what I had to get done. Holidays are for joy and I have been drinking it by the bucket load.
- feasting, laughing, giving gifts, making new memories.
- long hugs, dancing in the rain, splashing in the waves, licking the cake batter off the beaters.
– sharing dreams, champagne and stolen kisses.
- taking walks, swapping stories, soaking up sun.
- watching the sunrise, journaling, swimming in the ocean.
As I become reenergised and begin to think about the teaching year ahead, I need to remind myself to allocate time to refuel - not just during the holidays but all year round - so that joy can continue to be the breath of me.
One of the most wonderful sources of my joy.


Treat yourself to this iconic bag from Valentino, available here in a powder leather and gold stud version. This glamorous rock 'n' roll piece is a joy to own. Thanks to its practical design, you can carry all your daily essentials with you.


Highly insightful, looking frontward to coming back again.
And you must see the new Pineapple Ring that works with the egg attachment.
Basically wanted to say I'm just relieved that i happened on your page.

5 WWE Superstars who were compared to Stone Cold Steve Austin
Punk and Austin
Abhilash Mendhe
Who among these five was the closest to The Rattlesnake?
It has been over 16 years since possibly the greatest Superstar to ever step foot inside the squared circle retired from Professional Wrestling. Stone Cold Steve Austin met his arch-rival The Rock for the third time at a WrestleMania, with The Brahma Bull finally bagging a win over his toughest foe ever. He wrestled a couple more matches before hanging up his boots for good. Ever since his retirement, dirt sheets and the WWE Universe have clamored for someone to excite and entertain them as much as Austin did.
Over the years, several Superstars have emerged who were compared to The Texas Rattlesnake. While none of them managed to match the intensity, charisma, and drawing power that Austin once possessed, this didn't stop many from drawing comparisons between them and the Hall of Famer. Let's take a look at 5 Superstars who have been compared with Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Orton and Austin
The former Legend Killer turned Viper was the most hated heel in WWE back in 2009 when he targeted the McMahon family on the road to WrestleMania 25. Soon after, he turned babyface after splitting with his Legacy lackeys and went on to defeat Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase at WrestleMania 26.
Orton's cold and calculated demeanour became an instant hit among the fans and the fact that he was the most unpredictable Superstar at that time was instrumental in fans and wrestling experts drawing comparisons between him and Austin.
Additionally, Orton's finisher, the RKO looked incredibly similar to Austin's Stunner. Both men had feuded with the McMahon family and were what many would call 'lone wolfs'. A potential matchup between these two Superstars soon began being dubbed as a dream match, a generational clash if you will. Sadly, we never got to see these two square off, due to Austin not being fit enough to come back.

The premiere of The CW's Legends of Tomorrow set ratings records for the network, and now we have our first peek at what comes next.
Two new trailers for the second part of the pilot have been released, showing off some scenes from the team's first encounter with Vandal Savage. The first episode ended with Rip Hunter and his motley crew of heroes stalking around the 1970s, as they finally got a lead on Savage's whereabouts — and he apparently has control of a nuke. Uh-oh.
The second half of the pilot will follow the team as they attempt to take on Savage and recover the nuke, though, not surprisingly, everything does not go as planned. The episode looks to deepen the mythology surrounding Hawkgirl and Hawkman, and their shared connection with Savage. Of course, Savage is already well aware of that history, so don't be surprised if he's a step or two ahead — time-traveling advantage or not.
Legends of Tomorrow airs Thursday nights on The CW.


..::Black PR Wire, "When you visit Barbados, you will notice that it is mostly a flat coral island. Although it is known for its excellent beaches, there are also rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies, with an interesting distribution of flora and fauna. Within the Barbados coral core, there is a vast array of caves and underground lakes which provide an excellent supply of drinking water that is amongst the purest in the world. Geologically, Barbados is unique, being actually two land masses that merged together over the years. This and other anomalies make this Caribbean Island quite phenomenal, and there are geological structures that you will find only in Barbados."

In Florida, Texas And Arizona, Defiant School Leaders Are Sticking With Mask Mandates
By Clare Lombardo
Published August 18, 2021 at 11:50 AM MDT
Students arrive for the first day of school on Aug. 10 at Sessums Elementary School in Hillsborough County, Fla. After thousands of students were put in isolation or quarantine, the district is revisiting its safety protocols, including its mask-optional policy.
Updated August 18, 2021 at 5:14 PM ET
Across the country, as students and teachers head back into school buildings in the midst of a COVID-19 surge, school superintendents in Florida, Texas and Arizona are standing firm against state leaders who say masks shouldn't be mandated in classrooms.
On Wednesday, the Biden administration reinforced its support for those school leaders.
"I'm directing the secretary of education, an educator himself, to take additional steps to protect our children," President Biden said at a White House press conference Wednesday. "This includes using all of his oversight authorities and legal action, if appropriate, against governors who are trying to block and intimidate local school officials and educators."
Also on Wednesday, U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a blog post that the Education Department will be looking into whether state policies, including bans on mask mandates, "may infringe on the rights of every student to access public education equally."
Cardona sent letters last week to state leaders in Texas and Florida, making it clear that districts can use federal COVID-19 relief funds if their states sanction them for mandating masks.
In Florida, school is in session — and already chaotic
In late July, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order aimed at preventing schools from adopting mask mandates. On Tuesday, Florida's State Board of Education authorized the education commissioner to investigate districts that require universal mask-wearing and potentially to withhold state funding.
Meanwhile, many Florida students are already back at home quarantining after starting the school year in person. Hillsborough County, the nation's eighth largest school district, is convening an emergency school board meeting on Wednesday to discuss mitigation measures — including a possible mask requirement — after more than 5,000 students were put in isolation or quarantine.
In Alachua County, school started last week with mask mandates in place; masks are also required in Broward County when students return on Wednesday. Miami-Dade County, the fourth largest school district in the country, will finalize its masking policy on Wednesday, just days before students return to classrooms next week.
In a Friday letter to Florida's governor and education commissioner, Cardona wrote, "The Department stands with these dedicated educators who are working to safely reopen schools and maintain safe in-person instruction."
Carlee Simon, superintendent of Alachua County Public Schools, told NPR's All Things Considered last week that people have contacted her from all over the world about fundraising to make up for any cuts from the state.
"I believe that there's a lot of people who are watching, and they're concerned," she said, "and they don't want people to let go of their principles because they're worried about money."
In his letter, Cardona offered another solution. He pointed out that American Rescue Plan funds provide money for staffing: "This includes paying the full salaries of educators (including superintendents) and school board members, regardless of whether the State moves to withhold some of their salary as Florida is threatening."
During a Tuesday emergency meeting, Florida's State Board of Education voted to authorize the education commissioner to investigate Broward and Alachua schools, directing him to "take all legal steps" to enforce rules and laws in Florida, including the state's prohibition on mask mandates.
That enforcement "may include withholding funds from the district — although I would add a footnote that I do not want to withhold funds in a way that would harm any child in any district," Board Chair Tom Grady said during the meeting. "It may involve withholding salaries, it may involve removing officers, it may involve reviewing district conduct, it may involve public records requests to see how monies are being spent within the district," among other things.
In Texas, the standoff plays out in court
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott banned mask mandates in an executive order this spring, but as in Florida, a handful of school districts in the state — including Dallas, Austin and San Antonio — have announced masking requirements anyway.
In a Friday letter to Abbott and the state education commissioner, Cardona reiterated that school districts can use American Rescue Plan funds to implement mask policies, conduct contact tracing and pay for any other measures in line with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendations for reopening schools.
Now, school districts are caught in the middle of a legal tug of war: On Sunday, the Texas Supreme Court issued a temporary order to stop Dallas County and Bexar County, which includes San Antonio, from mandating face coverings. While some school districts walked back their masking plans, on Monday, classes began in Dallas with a mask mandate still in place. That's because the court order focused on Dallas County, and not the schools there, Dallas Superintendent Michael Hinojosa said in a virtual press conference Sunday night.
"Until there's an official order that applies to Dallas Independent School District, we will continue to have the mask mandate," he said. "We have to protect the health and safety of our students."
Hinojosa added that students who refuse to wear a mask will be moved to a separate classroom for instruction.
Adding to confusion is the fact that the state Supreme Court ruling wasn't the final word: It allowed a district court hearing on Monday to go on — and that judge ruled that schools in Bexar County and the city of San Antonio can require masks for the time being.
One school district there, North East Independent School District, posted on its website, "It is unfortunate that schools and our community are being caught in the middle of this legal and political fight. It is unfair to our parents, students and staff." It had reversed masking plans after the state Supreme Court ruling.
A number of lawsuits now challenge the state's ban on mask mandates.
One Arizona district can keep its mandate — for now
The budget that the Arizona Legislature passed this summer includes a prohibition on mask mandates in schools, but, for the time being, that prohibition is not holding some school districts back from enforcing their requirements for face coverings.
On Monday, a judge in Arizona declined to step in to stop Phoenix Union High School District, which serves almost 30,000 students, from keeping its mask mandate. A handful of other districts, including Tempe Union High School District, announced their own mask requirements after the ruling.
As NPR member station KJZZ reported, the legal battle began when a high school biology teacher sued Phoenix Union, along with the superintendent and the governing board, arguing that the schools "lack the legal authority to mandate that students and staff wear masks." But the school district argued that the lawsuit was premature because the budget won't take effect until the end of September. A Maricopa County Superior Court judge agreed but didn't throw the lawsuit out completely; the biology teacher can still amend his complaint.
Similar battles over mask requirements could play out in Iowa over the coming weeks. Most schools haven't started there yet, but a state law passed in the spring bans them from requiring masks. Some parents and doctors are already pleading with districts to follow the lead of defiant superintendents in Florida and Texas.
Most school-age children are not yet vaccinated against the coronavirus. Students under 12 aren't currently eligible for the vaccine, and according to the CDC, vaccination rates for older kids are still far behind rates for adults.

is a manga created by Wataru Yoshizumi. It originally ran in the magazine Ribon from 1988–1992, and was adapted into an OVA in 1991. The story is a romantic-comedy. It is Yoshizumi's longest serialized manga so far, and is one of her most popular works.

The 9-volume manga also includes Yoshizumi's other works, including her debut manga "Radical Romance."

Story

Mio Hagiwara is a 14-year-old actress who also enjoys being a regular teenager. One day, Mio meets Ichiya Kumagai, a 15-year-old boy who dreams of becoming a top director of films. Although Mio finds Ichiya to be annoying at first, she eventually discovers his soft side and becomes attracted to him. The story follows Mio and Ichiya becoming a couple and pursuing their dreams.

Characters
Mio Hagiwara
A young actress whose life changes after meeting Ichiya. Despite her mature looks, she is a teenager with a good heart. Mio is 17 at the end of the series, and is shown as a 24-year-old in the omake. At first she isn't fond of Ichiya because he called her a "bad actress". After being rejected by Teruomi, Ichiya comforts her and she gradually falls in love with him.

Ichiya Kumagai
A young, talented director who dreams of becoming Japan's biggest director in movies. Usually shy and quiet, except when it comes to anything about movies. Once he met Mio he instantly got on her bad side by calling her a "bad actress" but later admitted that only the way she expresses her lines was lacking. He first approaches Mio to have her star in his first movie. His mind is mostly only filled with thoughts of directing and movies and he refuses to realize that he likes Mio, even rejecting her when she confessed to him. It's only when he falls off a cliff after a failed stunt that he realizes his feelings for her. In the series omake, he is shown as a 25-year-old.

Aya Sawaki
Best friend of Mio. A popular singer. She used to be Ichiya's girlfriend before he left for Hollywood when they were 13 years old. She realizes she still has feelings for Ichiya and becomes love rivals with Mio. She later gives up on him and starts dating Morimoto Teruomi.

Crossovers in other manga
Some of the characters from Handsome na Kanojo either make appearances or are mentioned in Wataru Yoshizumi's most popular series Marmalade Boy which was her next manga series to be released after Handsome na Kanojo. Mio is actually seen in the anime (although only on various commercials) while Ichiya is mentioned when Yuu goes to New York City to study.

Q: How to search for bytes in Queue and extract packet? I'm receiving packets over COM port. Each packet begins with {0xFF, 0xFF} and ends with {0xFE, OxFE}. All received bytes are queued in Queue<byte> and after each void port_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e) I'm processing that queue.
If any 0xFF or 0xFE shows up in packet, device add 0x00 after it.

*

*How to extract each packet?

*How to delete unnecessary 0x00 inside each packet that have header byte inside?

For the first issue I have:
void port_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
    byte[] data = new byte[port.BytesToRead];
    try
    {
        port.Read(data, 0, data.Length);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
    data.ToList().ForEach(newByte => receivedData.Enqueue(newByte));
    processData();
}

private void processData()
{
    // Determine if we have a "packet" in the queue
    if (Enumerable.SequenceEqual(receivedData.Take(2), new List<byte> { 0xFF, 0xFF }))
    {
        // Beginning of new packet in the front of queue is ready!
        if (Enumerable.SequenceEqual(receivedData.Skip(Math.Max(0, receivedData.Count() - 2)).Take(2), new List<byte> { 0xFE, 0xFE }))
        {
            List<byte> tempPacket = new List<byte>();
            // Whole packet in the queue
            while(receivedData.Count > 0)
                tempPacket.Add(receivedData.Dequeue());
            tempPacket.TrimExcess();
            Packet pack = new Packet(tempPacket, PacketOrigin.Serial);
        }
    }
}

I'm trying to remove all 0x00 that are after any 0xFE and 0xFF that can be found inside Queue<byte> so far I came up with:
List<byte> unconvertedPacket = new List<byte> { 0xFF, OxFF, 0x00, 0x00,0x4D, 0xFA 0xFE, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x03, 0xFE, 0xFE}
int index = 0;
while (index != null)
{
    unconvertedPacket.RemoveAt(index + 1);
    index = unconvertedPacket.IndexOf(0xFE);
}
while (index != null)
{
    unconvertedPacket.RemoveAt(index + 1);
    index = unconvertedPacket.IndexOf(0xFF);
}

Does anyone have maybe any other solution/advice for doing it?

A: Try the following approach:
In the DataReceived event handler keep reading the incoming data and append it to a buffer (byte[]).
First you need to find the start marker ({0xFF, 0xFF}) in the buffer of received data. You need to determine the index of this marker within the buffer.
Once you have the start index, you need to keep appending incoming data to the buffer and check if the end marker (0xFE, 0xFE) has arrived. Capture the index of the end marker within the buffer.
Once you have the start and end index you can extract the packet between them. Nevermind about the extra 0x00 byte that gets added after it. You know the index of the start and end marker and their length (2). Just extract the array of bytes between them.
You need to create a search algorithm to suit this purpose. Both the needle and the haystack are an array of bytes (byte[]). You can use the Boyer-Moore string search algorithm for this purpose.
Here's a simple C# implementation of the Boyer-Moore algorithm which only implements the bad character rule. Read up on Wikipedia if you also want to implement the good suffix rule.
The algorithm is normally intended for strings, but I modified it to work with byte arrays. Tested this locally with an IP camera to extract the received JPEG images.
Check out the Wikipedia article for more information about it. It contains a full Java implementation which you can easily translate to C#.
public class BoyerMoore
{
    public static int IndexOf(byte[] needle, byte[] haystack)
    {
        if (needle == null || needle.Length == 0)
            return -1;

        int[] charTable = CreateCharTable(needle);
        for (int i = needle.Length - 1, j; i < haystack.Length;)
        {
            for (j = needle.Length - 1; needle[j] == haystack[i]; i--, j--)
            {
                if (j == 0)
                    return i;
            }
            i += charTable[haystack[i]];
        }
        return -1;
    }

    private static int[] CreateCharTable(byte[] needle)
    {
        const int ALPHABET_SIZE = 256;
        var table = new int[ALPHABET_SIZE];
        for (int i = 0; i < table.Length; i++)
        {
            table[i] = needle.Length;
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < needle.Length - 1; i++)
        {
            table[needle[i]] = needle.Length - 1 - i;
        }
        return table;
    }
}

Example usage:
var haystack = new byte[]
  {0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00, 0x4D, 0xFA, 0xFE, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x03, 0xFE, 0xFE};

var startIndexOf = BoyerMoore.IndexOf(new byte[] {0xFF, 0xFF}, haystack);
var endIndexOf = BoyerMoore.IndexOf(new byte[] {0xFE, 0xFE}, haystack);

var packet = new byte[endIndexOf - 2 - startIndexOf];
for (int i = startIndexOf + 2, j = 0; i < endIndexOf - startIndexOf; i++, j++)
{
    packet[j] = haystack[i];
}

Voila, the packet byte array contains 9 bytes in this example and only contains the bytes between the start and end marker. You can now trigger an event and pass the packet as an event arg for example.
Remark: Receiving the data from the COM port is a continuous event. You need to keep monitoring it. Keep appending the received data and keep checking for the start -and index markers, extract the packages...etc. Watch out that your buffer does not overflow. You need to implement some housekeeping there.
Hope it helps. Check out AForge implementation of an MJPEGStream for an example of continuously reading incoming data.
To recapitulate:

*

*Declare an instance variable to store the received data (e.g. _buffer = new byte[4096]).

*Append the incoming data to the buffer in the DataReceived event handler.

*Search for the start marker. If found remember the start index in an instance variable.

*If you already know the position of the start marker, then search for the index of the end marker.

*When you find the end marker, extract the packet and fire an event. Use the packet as part of the event's EventArgs.

*Wash, rinse, repeat.

You need to implement some housekeeping to make sure the buffer won't overflow (> 4096 bytes). For instance once you find a packet you can clean up the buffer up until the last received end marker.

15-Year-Old Arrested for Possession of Handgun After Bringing Firearm to Richard Montgomery High School
by Patrick Herron January 24, 2023
written by Patrick Herron January 24, 2023
Per the Rockville City Police Department: The Rockville City Police Department has charged a 15-year-old juvenile with firearms related offenses. On January 24, 2023, at approximately 2:45 p.m., Richard Montgomery High School Security personnel notified the school's Community Engagement Officer that a former student was on school property and was possibly in possession of a handgun. The student was apprehended by Rockville City Police approximately one block away from the high school, who was in possession of a firearm. The juvenile was arrested without incident and will be charged accordingly.
The preliminary investigation has determined today's incident is unrelated to the lockdown which occurred at Richard Montgomery High School on January 13, 2023. Rockville City Police continues to work closely with Richard Montgomery High School and Montgomery County Public Schools to ensure the safety and security of students and staff remains the highest priority for our community.
The investigation into this matter is ongoing. Anyone who has information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Rockville City Police Criminal Investigation's Unit at 240-314-8938.
