Former Supt. Fred Foresteire Pleads Not Guilty on Seven Counts
by Seth Daniel • May 3, 2019 • 0 Comments
Former Supt. Fred Forestiere pleaded not guilty to seven counts of assault on teachers in the Everett Public Schools in Malden District Court on Friday, April 26.
With his attorney, Gerard Malone, and an entourage that included his wife, Dorothy, and several community members at his side, Foresteire stepped up from the audience to the microphone Friday morning to say he was not guilty of the charges leveled against him, which include six counts of indecent assault and battery and one count of assault and battery. The charges were brought earlier this year, and Foresteire was only just now arraigned on those charges – which followed a lengthy Everett Police investigation.
Flanked by his friends, family and wife Dorothy, former Everett
Supt. Fred Foresteire, through his attorney Gerard Malone, pleaded not guilty during Foresteire's arraignment on seven criminal charges last Friday, April 26.
Among the charges described at the arraignment were "mouth on breast," "hand on buttocks," and "pulling clothes down to expose the body." There are three victims making the allegations.
Judge Benjamin Barnes presided over the arraignment session and let Foresteire, 76, go on his own personal recognizance – meaning no bail was imposed. He was ordered not to have any contact with victims or witnesses, and not to go near school property or school events.
Attorney Malone told the Independent they had no additional comment for the moment on the charges, and Foresteire walked out of the courthouse silently while swarmed by television reporters from Boston.
He did not speak at the arraignment either.
Attorney Malone did ask for permission for himself, and his investigator, to get entry into the School Administration Building so that they could see where the allegations were made.
While the prosecution objected on principle, Judge Barnes allowed them access with 48-hours notice.
All of the information regarding the charges was impounded from the public by Judge Barnes, a move to protect the alleged victims from public disclosure.
A Pre-Trial hearing was established for Aug. 8, which would be Foresteire's next official court date.
Attorney Tara Swartz, who represents some of the victims, said she didn't have a comment after the arraignment.
Attorney Mark Rotondo, who also represents some of the victims, said he believed it was time for a complete overhaul of the Everett Public Schools' administration as a result of the charges brought against Foresteire. Rotondo is also an Everett native and a former School Committeeman.
"The allegations speak for themselves, and a jury will dictate Foresteire's guilt or innocence," he said. "What needs to be done is there needs to be a serious indictment of the Everett Public Schools including the current administration, which has perpetuated the code of silence for more than 30 years. The members of the School Committee should give serious consideration in determining whether or not current administrators should be placed on leave pending the conclusion of their investigation of the alleged wrongdoing of the administrative staff. As a former member of the Everett School Committee, the fiduciary duty is one of the duties held in highest regard. They owe it to the taxpayers, students, parents and teachers in the district."

Q: In C#, How can I create or overload an assignment operator to possibly assign two values at once? This is probably a stupid question, but just in case....
We have a 3rd party package with weird models like:
public partial class CountingDevice
{
    public int countingDeviceNo { get; set; }
    public string countingDeviceName { get; set; }
    public string obis { get; set; }
    public int integralPart { get; set; }
    public bool integralPartFieldSpecified;
    public int fractionalPart { get; set; }
    public bool fractionalPartFieldSpecified;
    public double value { get; set; }
    public bool valueFieldSpecified;
    public bool offPeakFlag { get; set; }
    public bool offPeakFlagFieldSpecified;
    public ExpectedMeterReading expectedMeterReading { get; set; }
    // snipped for brevity
}

You'll notice that sometimes there are pairs of fields like integralPart and integralPartFieldSpecified.
Here is the problem:  If I simply assign some value to integralPart but do not set integralPartFieldSpecified = true, the value of integralPart will be completely ignored causing the solution to fail.
So when mapping our own models to this madness, I need to litter the code with constructs like:
if (IntegralPart != null)
{
    countingDevice.integralPartSpecified = true;
    countingDevice.integralPart = (int)IntegralPart!;
}

Both in the interest of reducing lines of code and not stumbling over a minefield, I would like to do any one of the following:
A. Overload the = operator so it will automatically check for a property which is a boolean and has "Specified" concatenated to the current property's name.  If such a property exists, it will be assigned true when the value is assigned; if not, then assignment will operate as normal.  Ideally, it should be "smart" enough to assign "...Specified" to false if the value assigned is null/default/empty.
B. Create some customer operator which will do the same as A.
C. Create some method which I could invoke in a concise and preferably typesafe way to do the same.
Is this possible?
If so, how?
To make it clear: I need to build quite a few wrappers.
I don't want to repeat this logic for every field and worry about missing some fields which it applies to.
I want a generic way of assigning both fields at once if the "Specified" field exists and being able to do assignments in exactly the same way if it does not exist.

A:
not stumbling over a minefield

Encapsulate the minefield.
If you don't control this 3rd party DTO then don't use it throughout your domain.  Encapsulate or wrap the integration of this 3rd party tool within a black box that you control.  Then throughout your domain use your models.
Within the integration component for this 3rd party system, simply map to/from your Domain Models and this 3rd party DTO.  So this one extra line of code which sets a second field on the DTO only exists in that one place.

A: You cannot overload the = operator in C#.
You can just use custom properties and set the "FieldSpecified" fields in the setters e.g.
private int _integralPart;
public int integralPart
{
    get { return _integralPart; }
    set
    {
        _integralPart = value;
        integralPartFieldSpecified = true;
    }
}
public bool integralPartFieldSpecified;

Update
If you want a generic solution you can use a generic class for properties that you want to achieve the specified behaviour with e.g.
public class ValueWithSpecifiedCheck<T>
{
    private T _fieldValue;

    public T FieldValue
    {
        get
        {
            return _fieldValue;
        }
        set
        {
            _fieldValue = value;
            FieldSpecified = true;
        }
    }

    public bool FieldSpecified { get; set; }
}

public class Data
{
    public ValueWithSpecifiedCheck<int> IntegralPart { get; set; }
}

Then the class/property would be used as following:
public static void Main()
{
    var data = new Data();

    data.IntegralPart = new ValueWithSpecifiedCheck<int>();
    data.IntegralPart.FieldValue = 7;
    Console.WriteLine(data.IntegralPart.FieldSpecified);// Prints true
}

A: If you implement a generic solution and add implicit conversion operators, it's quite convenient to use.
Here's a sample Optional<T> struct (I made it a readonly struct to ensure immutable mechanics):
public readonly struct Optional<T> where T : struct
{
    public Optional(T value)
    {
        _value = value;
    }

    public static implicit operator T(Optional<T> opt) => opt.Value;
    public static implicit operator Optional<T>(T opt) => new(opt);

    public T Value => _value!.Value;

    public bool Specified => _value is not null;

    public override string ToString() => _value is null ? "<NONE>" : _value.ToString()!;

    readonly T? _value;
}

You could use that to implement your CountingDevice class like so:
public partial class CountingDevice
{
    public int              countingDeviceNo   { get; set; }
    public string           countingDeviceName { get; set; }
    public string           obis               { get; set; }
    public Optional<int>    integralPart       { get; set; }
    public Optional<int>    fractionalPart     { get; set; }
    public Optional<double> value              { get; set; }
    public Optional<bool>   offPeakFlag        { get; set; }
    // snipped for brevity
}

Usage is quite natural because of the implicit conversions:
public static void Main()
{
    var dev = new CountingDevice
    {
        integralPart = 10,      // Can initialise with the underlying type.
        value        = 123.456
    };

    Console.WriteLine(dev.fractionalPart.Specified);  // False
    Console.WriteLine(dev.integralPart.Specified);    // True
    Console.WriteLine(dev.value);                     // 123.456
    Console.WriteLine(dev.value.ToString());          // 123.456
    Console.WriteLine(dev.fractionalPart.ToString()); // "<NONE>"

    dev.fractionalPart = 42;  // Can set the value using int.
    Console.WriteLine(dev.fractionalPart.Specified);  // True
    Console.WriteLine(dev.fractionalPart);            // 42

    var optCopy = dev.offPeakFlag;
    Console.WriteLine(optCopy.Specified);             // False

    dev.offPeakFlag = true;
    Console.WriteLine(dev.offPeakFlag.Specified);     // True

    Console.WriteLine(optCopy.Specified); // Still False - not affected by the original.

    Console.WriteLine(optCopy); // Throws an exception because its not specified.
}

You might also want to use optional reference types, but to do that you will need to declare a generic with the class constraint:
public readonly struct OptionalRef<T> where T : class
{
    public OptionalRef(T value)
    {
        _value = value;
    }

    public static implicit operator T(OptionalRef<T> opt) => opt.Value;
    public static implicit operator OptionalRef<T>(T opt) => new(opt);

    public T Value => _value ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("Accessing an unspecified value.");

    public bool Specified => _value is not null;

    public override string ToString() => _value is null ? "<NONE>" : _value.ToString()!;

    readonly T? _value;
}

Personally, I think that's a bit overkill. I'd just use nullable value types, int?, double? etc, but it depends on the expected usage.

A: Another (expensive) solution would be to write a method that takes in an object, a property name, and the new property value. You can then use reflection to both set the property value for the specified property, as well as search for the bool field that you want to set (if it exists).
Note that you need to pass the correct type for the property. There's no compile-time checking that you're passing a double instead of a string for the value property, for example.
Below I've created an extension method on the object type to simplify calling the method in our main code (the method becomes a member of the object itself):
public static class Extensions
{
    // Requires: using System.Reflection;
    public static bool SetPropertyAndSpecified(this object obj,
        string propertyName, object propertyValue)
    {
        // Argument validation left to user

        // Check if 'obj' has specified 'propertyName'
        // and set 'propertyValue' if it does
        PropertyInfo prop = obj.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName,
            BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);

        if (prop != null && prop.CanWrite)
        {
            prop.SetValue(obj, propertyValue, null);

            // Check for related "FieldSpecified" field
            // and set it to 'true' if it exists
            obj.GetType().GetField($"{propertyName}FieldSpecified",
                BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance)?.SetValue(obj, true);

            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
}

After you add this class to your project, you can do something like:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var counter = new CountingDevice();

    // Note that 'valueFieldSpecified' and `integralPartFieldSpecified'
    // are set to 'false' on 'counter'

    // Call our method to set some properties
    counter.SetPropertyAndSpecified(nameof(counter.integralPart), 42);
    counter.SetPropertyAndSpecified(nameof(counter.value), 69d);

    // Now 'valueFieldSpecified' and 'integralPartFieldSpecified'
    // are set to 'true' on 'counter'
}

A: C# doesn't allow overloading the = operator (unlike eg C++). However, your suggestion C should work. It's a bit of a hassle, too, since you'll have to write a bunch of methods, but you could write an extension method such as

public static class Extensions
{
    public static void UpdateIntegralPart(this CountingDevice dev, double value)
    {
        dev.integralPart = value;
        dev.integralPartSpecified = true;
    }
}

Then you can call
   countingDevice.UpdateIntegralPart(1234);

FotoKonbit is a non-profit organization that teaches photography to youth and adults in Haiti and Miami with the goal of inspiring Haitians to tell their own stories through photography. Since 2010, FotoKonbit has worked with more than one hundred students from ten different communities in both rural and urban Haiti, youth and adults in Miami and a group of Haitian teenagers in Brooklyn. FotoKonbit often partners with established organizations who have extensive knowledge of the communities they serve.
The locations we have worked include; Camp Perrin, Port-au-Prince, Jacmel, Cap-Haitian, Labadie, Deschapelles, Miami, Brooklyn and the Dominican Republic. In some locations we have produced intensive photography workshops and in other locations we have taught photography classes for many years. In all locations we provide mentorship and career development to interested students. Students and participants who have the desire to become professional photographers become "members". FotoKonbit sells prints for students with the profit going back to the photographer. Some students have paid for their education through print sales. FotoKonbit also actively seeks work and educational opportunities for members and annually grants support for personal photography projects.
FotoKonbit projects have included; working with displaced victims of the 2010 earthquake, a photographic exchange between Haitian and Dominicans, creating postcards with photos made by Labadie workshop participants to be sold at Haiti's only cruise port, a photographic exchange between Port-au-Prince youth and recent Haitian immigrants in Brooklyn and workshops that included local historical education in Jacmel and Cap Haitian.
In 2015 FotoKonbit partnered with Le Centre d'art in Port-au-Prince to establish Le Centre Numérique, a digital art center. Upon completion of construction, FotoKonbit created programming that included a nine month intensive photo course, a "FotoSalon" open to any photographer in Haiti, a film series, guest lectures and other visual arts courses.
The work of of FotoKonbit students has been published in both online and print media in the United States and Europe and in 2015, National Geographic Magazine published "Showing Haiti on Its Own Terms" a story completely illustrated by FotoKonbit photographs. This was an incredible honor for FotoKonbit as it was the first time the magazine had ever commissioned local and "non-professional" photographers. FotoKonbit has had exhibitions in Port-au-Prince, Miami, New Jersey, Houston and Paris and we have a permanent exhibition wall at the Port-au-Prince airport.

DRAWING THE SHORT STRAW
Now former candidates Dan Haberman and Kristine Bonds have been disqualified by the Michigan Board of State Canvassers from the ballot for this August's primary election for the 11th Congressional District. Haberman, a Democrat, and Bonds, a Republican, were running for the seat now held by Rep. Dave Trott, who isn't running for another term. The board of canvassers found both candidates had "insufficient" nominating petitions to be placed on the August ballot. While Haberman said he was confident he could successfully challenge the board's determination, he said doing so "would place too heavy a strain on our already streamlined resources to operate an effective and winning campaign." Bonds was unable to be reached for comment, and her campaign's phone line was no longer in operation as of publication.

The Samarth-class offshore patrol vessel are a series of eleven offshore patrol vessels being built by Goa Shipyard Limited for the Indian Coast Guard. The construction of Samarth class was motivated by a desire to triple the Coast Guard assets in the aftermath of 2008 Mumbai attacks. They are an improvement over the earlier , with a larger beam and more powerful engines. The ships are being constructed in two batches—a batch of six ordered in May 2012 that was completed in December 2017 and a follow-on batch of five ordered in August 2016.

History
Following the 2008 Mumbai attacks, the Indian Government initiated a program to triple the Indian Coast Guard force, assets and infrastructure. Thereafter in accordance with it a 'request for information' for acquisition of six offshore patrol vessels was issued by the Ministry of Defence on 1 April 2010. After technical evaluation and commercial bids a contract worth $400 million or Rs. 1800 crore was signed with GSL on 9 May 2012 to build six vessels.

On 14 May 2012 GSL did the first steel cutting in its shipyard, and the  keel-laying ceremony of the first of the new class of offshore patrol vessels was held at Vasco da Gama on 28 September 2012. The second and third vessels were laid down 28 January and 11 October 2013, and the fourth on 9 January 2014. The first vessel was commissioned on 10 November 2015 and all six will be commissioned by the end of 2017.

In August 2016, a follow-on consisting of five patrol vessels was placed for INR 20 billion. The follow-on vessels will have a greater indigenous content of 70% compared to the 62% of the previous batch.

Sachet the first OPV was launched on 21 February 2019 and commissioned on 15 May 2020 by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh by video conferencing.

Sujeet the second OPV from the second batch was handed to Indian Coast Guard on 12 November 2020 and later commissioned on 15 December 2020.

Sajag the third OPV was delivered ahead of time on 16 March 2021. The ship was commissioned by NSA Ajit Doval on May 29, 2021.

Sarthak was delivered ahead of schedule and was commissioned in the Indian Coast Guard on 28 October, 2021.

Saksham the last ship of the project was delivered ahead of schedule on 8 February, 2022. All 5 ships of the Fleet 2 were delivered ahead of schedule.

Description
The class is  long with a displacement of 2,350 tonnes. Features include Integrated Bridge System, Integrated Machinery Control System, Power Management System and High Power External Fire Fighting System. They are designed to carry one twin engine Light Helicopter and five high speed boats including two Palfinger QRIBs for fast boarding operations, search and rescue, law enforcement and maritime patrol. The class is also capable of carrying pollution response equipment to combat oil spill contamination at sea.

Many accountants consider that cash flow statements are the most important indicator of a company's performance, as they do not involve estimates or judgments of the preparers.
While indirect method cash flow statements can be prepared easily from P&L and opening and closing balance sheets, they do not tell us much about where the money is coming from or going to. Because of this, users of financial statements and the accounting standard setters alike have always preferred direct method rather than indirect method cash flow statements.
Although it may take you to the Land of Nod, a bit of accountancy information here may help non-accountants.
Although the direct method is the preferred method, there is basically no difference between the direct and indirect method of cash flow statements except for operating cash flows: while the former properly identifies collections from customers and payments to suppliers, the latter only uses operating profits from P&L and add back non-cash items such as depreciation.
There are three principal modules in bookkeeping: AP, AR, and GL. While all the transactions have GL account codes, only AP transactions have associated vendor codes, and AR transactions have customer codes in the transaction fact table. Not surprisingly, bookkeeping best practice recommends that as many bank transactions as practicable should be recorded through the AR or AP modules so that there is a proper record of exactly where the money is coming from and going to, details of which can be found in the customer and vendor master tables. Because of this, most of the bank transactions can be analyzed by using supplier and customer codes.
The operating-investing-financing groupings can be mapped in the customer, vendor and GL chart of account tables with ease, so that, for example, most of the customer codes are mapped to operating except for purchasers of fixed assets who are mapped to investing, while most of the supplier codes are also mapped to operating except for capex suppliers who are mapped to investing, while loan GL, share capital GL and dividends payable GL are mapped to financing.
Despite their importance, direct method cash flow statements do not usually form part of the standard reports generated from ERP systems like BS and PL, and it usually requires additional configuration work to produce them. Before the advent of Power Pivot, accountants had to depend on ERP programmers to properly prepare direct method cash flow statements as they usually do not possess the technical skills to configure ERP by themselves. Typically, a modification like that required much communication between an accountant and a programmer and could have resulted in a time-consuming project. However, Power Pivot has ended this less than optimal situation and empowered accountants to prepare direct method cash flow statements by themselves.
We then create a star-schema relationship between the journal entry transaction fact table and the dimension tables: the GL chart of accounts, customer master table, vendor master table, and a calendar table. The Diagram View below shows the four dimension (lookup) tables above the journal entry fact (data) table as best practice taught by P3.
Although most of the bank transactions' opposite side in double-entry bookkeeping are recorded as either AP clearings or AR clearings, there are some instances such as with bank direct debits, interest payments and interest income from banks where we do not record the other side of the double entry bookkeeping of bank transactions as AP or AR clearings but instead use GL accounts directly.
In order to create direct method cash flow statements, we need to use the other side of the bank GL in the bank journal entries from the fact table. In fact, the key to solving the direct method cash flow conundrum is getting the other side of the bank journal entries.
For simplification purposes, instead of using proper GL account codes, customer codes, and supplier codes which typically are numerical codes in the normalized journal entry fact table such as FBL3N, I will use human-readable text coding such as "Bank" for Bank GL, "AP" for AP GL, and so on in the column, JournalEntry[GL]. As companies usually have multiple bank accounts, these bank accounts are all mapped as "Bank" in the chart of accounts and labeled as such in this example.
2) Identify all the double-entry bookkeeping relating to the bank journal entries using the calculated column.
The calculated column above identifies document numbers (i.e., bookkeeping journal entry identifiers) which contain "Bank" in the calculated column, JournalEntry[Bank GL]. Therefore, journal entries for AP clearing, AR clearing, bank direct debits and payments to the tax authorities, and so on, will be labeled as "Bank" as they will all contain bank GL in their journal entries.
It is always useful to have multiple years of data for comparative and historical trend analysis purposes. As document numbers are unique sequential numbers in a given year, we filter the document number with "Bank" in the calculated column, JournalEntry[Bank GL] for the respective years.
3) Sum up the amount on the other side of the bank journal entries in a DAX measure.
The DAX measure above sums up the other side of the double-entry bookkeeping in the cash journal entries from the accounting transaction fact table by filtering out rows for bank GL and the non-cash journal entries such as those relating to the recording of AR, AP, depreciation, amortization, stock movements, accruals and deferred income, and provisions, etc. The reason that a negative sign precedes the formula is because the DAX formula above is taking the opposite side of bank GL in the double-entry bookkeeping, therefore, cash from a customer will be credited to the customer account (a negative sign in bookkeeping), while a payment to a supplier will debit the supplier account (a positive sign in bookkeeping) which needs to be shown using the opposite sign in the bank GL account movements.
Well, I hope this wasn't too much of an accountancy and bookkeeping snoozefest for you. For other P3 posts on cash flow statements, please refer to earlier articles by David Churchward and Kasper de Jonge.
Now it's time to move on to my favorite topic: working smartly.
One of the things I really like about reporting is the ability to leverage. Bookkeeping converts unstructured accounting documents which come in all sorts of shapes and forms, ranging from scribbled handwritten taxi receipts from overseas trips to invoices from various suppliers, into a structured database format with proper vendor codes, cost centers, employee codes, GL codes, tax codes, and a text description of the transaction, through recording in ERP which tends to be quite labor intensive. In contrast, reporting is based on data that are already (well, mostly) converted into a structured database format, and therefore, instead of spending hours toiling over a pile of invoices and receipts, you can sit back and do it as smartly as you wish. We are indeed really lucky to be working with data as Rob blogged here.
Using the method above, I reconstructed direct method cash flow statements starting from a date as far back as over ten years ago which are precisely reconciled with all the bank statements. Power Pivot can handle data with hundreds of millions of rows, which means that direct method cash flow statements can be prepared that span across a decade that identify all the payments to suppliers and receipts from customers as long as the journal entry data exist in the ERP system. The effect of leveraging is exponential, and not linear.
The DAX measure above does not follow the general best practice guideline advising us not to use a filter against a fact table, and rather to use it against a lookup table.
Also, DAX maestros advise us to refrain from using calculated columns where possible and to use measures instead because of their more efficient use of RAM.
While DAX measures can perform real acts of magic which were hitherto impossible using traditional Excel, we all know that most things that can be done with calculated columns can also be done using the traditional method. So, what is so special about the technique above? Well, it is special, because it liberates us from the traditional Excel constraint of being limited to 1,048,576 rows, and this is before even mentioning about its smart refresh ability. My data model contains multi-million rows of journal entry fact table data, and it is growing every day. This humongous amount of data could not have been handled by using traditional Excel.
If bookkeepers record AP and AR in a timely manner as transactions occur, and we plan ahead and do not allow unplanned payments not recorded into the system, and if we can get customers to pay on time, we can generate accurate cash flow forecasts 1 month into the future using the open balance list of AP and AR. What's more, this forecast report can be updated as often as you like, for example, on a daily basis to get the most up to date cash flow forecast with the use of Power Update.
Sakiko is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). She became one of the first PowerPivotPro converts in Japan, and since that time, she has been happily automating her daily reporting work using DAX and M.
It is a good idea to use a calculated column in this case because it improves the speed of the measure (you use the result of the calculated column as a filter).
The measure can be simplified this way (I included KEEPFILTERS to provide the same result of the existing table filter).
Thank you very much for your input, Marco! I will be using your suggested method in my model.
I like this article because its theme is cash flow statement which is my field of expertise.
It'd be great if you could release more articles about finance and accounting.
Great article, helping to reinforce my DAX understanding gained from P3's online DAX training course.
Only question I have is what is the logic for the calculated column 'Cash movement' in the last screenshot above? It seems to show the customer/vendor code but only when Bank_JE = "Bank" and Bank_GL = ""; it seems simple enough but please let me know what logic you used.
Thanks for your question. If fact, I omitted the discussion of the calculated column, JournalEntry[Cash movement] in my article because it is not really a smart formula. Basically, JournalEntry[Cash movement] combines the information from lookup tables (customer and vendor master tables).
However, as you may notice, although most of the cash movements can be explained by AP and AR clearings, there are some transactions which do not go through AP or AR and that just have GL account codes as offsetting accounts for bank transactions, so in real life, we will have to incorporate these by including GL in the formula. Nevertheless, there may be more efficient ways to combine the details of the 3 different lookup tables (a customer master table, a vendor master table, and a GL chart of accounts) rather than bringing them all into a calculated column with more than a million rows.
Nice article Sakiko. Dear to my heart!
Great job Sakiko, very helpful indeed.
Could you or someone help correct my mistakes in the below measures or suggest another better option, they are not working for me and/or with syntax error. I'm using PowerPivot excel 2016 and Fiscal Year (start date 1st April – Ends March 31st), and need a measure to return just a value. I hope to re-use the measure by modification in other calculations.
In regard to the 'Date'[Fiscal Year] and 'Date'[YearWeekNumber], I presume that your calendar table (i.e., the 'Date' table) is set up with your specific year-end date, so that the 1st week of April starts as 1 for 'Date'[YearWeekNumber].
Hi Dey JT, Thank you for your interest in my work. I'll e-mail the file to you.
Very helpful post, Sakiko. Could you please share the file? Thank you!
Hi Dmitry, Thank you for your interest in my work. I'll e-mail the file to you.
Hello Sakiko, Really nice post. For those who are looking to know more about DAX, can you share the raw data file?
Thank you Surya for your interest in my work. I will send you the file.
Hello Sakiko, really helpful post. Could you please share the raw file for reference? Thank you so much.
Thanks for your interest. I will send you the file with fictitious bookkeeping data I created.
Great post, Sakiko! Could you please share the file for reference? Thank you!
Thanks, John! Here is a link to the downloadable file with fictitious bookkeeping data.
1-if one of the double entry contain cash then I want the result column to be Cash based on Trans.No and Last Recon. No. Column.
for example trans. No 103.
2-if first the transaction 104 record payable against expense and subsequently the transaction 117 is to clear payable against cash that reference by Last Recon. No then I want the result column as shown in this table.
Really appreciate for your kind help!


The default operator is "OR" e.g., if you search for pit latrine this will be interpreted as pit OR latrine and will return results matching either "pit" or "latrine"
Use AND (case-sensitive) to search for two terms, e.g., pit AND latrine will return results which match both "pit" and "latrine"
To search for the exact phrase "pit latrine", enclose the phrase in quotation marks: "pit latrine"
Use NOT (case-sensitive) to exclude terms, e.g., sanitation NOT water will return results which match "sanitation" but exclude results that also match "water".
Use * for truncation, e.g., Project.MSc.* will return projects in the following series: Project.MSc.WEM, Project.MSc.WWE, etc.

No majority to disallow Vy
TOPICS:Name-ChangeNorwayNorway TodayNSBParliamentRedRidiculeVy

No majority in Parliament to stop NSB name change to Vy
The proposed name change to Vy is ridiculed by "everybody". Except by the majority of the Norwegian Parliament, it seems.
The Norwegian political party, Red (Rødt), proposes to block the proposal by Norges Statsbaner (NSB) to change its name to Vy. This proposal is voted down by the majority of the Parliament. The majority consists of the Governmental parties and the Greens (MDG).
"I am disappointed that we did not obtain a majority for our proposal to stop NSB's name change to Vy. The Progress Party (Frp) has criticised the name change in the media. In the Parliament, they support it. They even rekindle the debate on whether the state should own NSB at all," Leader of Red, Bjørnar Moxnes, states after the parliamentary vote on Thursday.
He says they are still happy to have the proposal dealt with. He points to a great commitment in the population regarding the name change.
Vy is ridiculed
NSB announced that they should change their name to Vy on Tuesday. The name change is ridiculed both by politicians and the public.
"Everyone laughs at the name Vy," Moxnes arguments from the pulpit. He, however, believes that the commitment is about more than that people don't like the name.
"The engagement is not just about that the name is ridiculous, nor about pure nostalgia, but about the fact that NSB for most of us means more than a brand name. It's about the railroad we built and paid for jointly, which ties people in this elongated country closer together," the Leader of Red arguments.
The opposition parties (except MDG) supports the proposal from Moxnes.

MGM Resorts is aiding in the Springfield, Massachusetts, revitalization process by way of its $960 million investment in constructing an integrated casino resort that will create thousands of jobs and generate new wealth for the local area.
And this week, MGM revealed that it's also still willing to lend support to another town in desperate need of investment: Bridgeport, Connecticut.
MGM Senior VP of Legal Counsel Uri Clinton, described by the Connecticut Post as a "sharp dressed, smooth talker," met with locals over the weekend in the East End for a forum on the project. Clinton told residents the casino would help revitalize the struggling community through jobs for minorities, property tax relief, and education and philanthropic commitments.
Critics believe MGM's $675 million casino proposal for Bridgeport's East End is simply a bluff in response to Connecticut lawmakers allowing the state's two tribal groups to jointly build a satellite gaming venue on off-reservation land in East Windsor. MGM has filed legal action against Connecticut on grounds that the satellite facility, which is just 13 miles south across the state border from its MGM Springfield, was awarded to the Mashantucket and Mohegan Sun tribes free of a competitive bidding process.
Appeals courts have repeatedly sided with Connecticut, the final verdict coming last month when the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected MGM's argument that the state was violating its own constitution by essentially expanding gambling without voter consent.
While it seemed like that was the final straw for the odds of MGM Bridgeport potentially ever moving forward, the Nevada conglomerate apparently isn't ready to fold. Clinton, who's been in Connecticut for months leading the opposition to the East Windsor site, believes the Bridgeport casino can break ground quickly should the Mashantucket and Mohegan Sun people allow the state to authorize the commercial resort.
But the chances of that happening are slim to none, as the Native American groups have declared that if the state violates their gaming compacts, they will immediately stop sending in revenue-sharing checks. That would cost government coffers around $250 million a year.
The two Connecticut tribes aren't likely to give their blessing to MGM Resorts, a company it's been bitterly battling in courts for months.
The reason MGM continues to spend money parading Clinton around The Constitution State is perhaps to persuade the US Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) into blocking the East Windsor site approval. Before the Mashantucket and Mohegan people can open a gaming facility, they'll need the BIA to take the land into federal trust.
Last summer, the BIA opined it saw no reason that it wouldn't approve the application. For land to be taken into trust, tribes must demonstrate that they have historical ties to the newly acquired acreage, and that the property being deemed sovereign would enhance the Native American group.


Every Saturday, I host a feature called Kid Konnection -- a regular weekend feature about anything related to children's books. This week I'm going to share a book that is perfect for the dinosaur lover in your life!
ATLAS OF DINOSAUR ADVENTURES: STEP INTO THE PREHISTORIC WORLD FOR AN ADVENTURE WITH HISTORY'S MOST AMAZING DINOSAURS AND REMARKABLE REPTILES by Emily Hawkins and illustrated by Lucy Netherland is one amazing book... especially for kids who love maps and dinosaurs! This giant book (and I mean giant-- it's actually 11" x 14") is not only educational, but it also takes kids on a dinosaur adventure!
The ATLAS OF DINOSAUR ADVENTURES is 94 fun-filled pages. It's full of fantastic illustrations of all types of dinosaurs and reptiles, and it takes kids back-in-time to discover what it was like when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. There is lots of information about dinosaurs, which isn't unusual for a kids' book; however, this one is extra-special because it also takes kids all over the world to the different countries where dinosaurs lived.
I think my thirteen year old son is a little old for this book, but it would have been a huge hit a few years ago. My son never had the dinosaur-bug like so many other kids, but he did (and still does) have a love of geography. The beautifully drawn maps alone would have attracted him to this big book, and I have a feeling that he would have wanted to learn more about dinosaurs because the information is presented in such a reader-friendly way.
The ATLAS OF DINOSAUR ADVENTURES is divided into chapter by continent, and then within each continent, there are sections on various countries where dinosaurs and reptiles lived. Each page has drawings of many prehistoric creatures, and there are small "chunks" of text in different fonts. Some of the text is more general about how the dinosaurs lived, while other sections are more a bit more detailed and geared towards a slightly older crowd. Even though this book is rather long for the younger readers, there are so many pictures that I think kids of all ages will find something to love.
All in all, the ATLAS OF DINOSAUR ADVENTURES is a terrific book for kids who love dinosaurs and maps. Highly recommended for home and school libraries.
I bet this would be a hit with tons of kids!

Q: Print all n-digit numbers whose product of digits equals to given product python enter image description hereDisplay 3-digit prime numbers that have the product of digits equal to a given p-value.
Example: For p = 9 the numbers 191, 313, 331, 911 meet the conditions of the problem.
I found a code that does this just to find out their amount but not the product.
I need to find out what I change in the program to find out the product, not the amount.
Here is the code to be solved in python:
def findNDigitNumsUtil(n, product, out,index):
    # Base case
    if (index > n or product < 0):
        return
    f = ""
    # If number becomes N-digit
    if (index == n):
        # if sum of its digits is equal
        # to given sum, print it
        if(product == 0):
            out[index] = "\0"
            for i in out:
                f = f + i
            print(f, end = " ")
        return
    # Traverse through every digit. Note
    # that here we're considering leading
    # 0's as digits
    for i in range(10):
        # append current digit to number
        out[index] = chr(i + ord('0'))
        # recurse for next digit with reduced sum
        findNDigitNumsUtil(n, product - i,
                        out, index + 1)

# This is mainly a wrapper over findNDigitNumsUtil.
# It explicitly handles leading digit
def findNDigitNums( n, sum):
    # output array to store N-digit numbers

Continuing from my older post on Vagrant 1.7.2 / 1.9.2 and Virtualbox 4.3.12 / 5.1.14. I upgraded into Vagrant 1.9.2 and 5.0.x and 5.1.x , because of security vulnerabilities on those Virtualbox versions, but my shell provisions and puppet provision that used to work on old setting suddenly stopped working and tried various workaround to make them working but failed until Virtualbox 5.1.18. I use chocolaty, to upgrade/install vagrant and virtual box in Windows 7 host and able to fire 'vagrant up' to provision my new guest.
4. Vagrant up ....Boom all old scripts starting work again!
Last couple of days I was running a Virtualbox issue "The guest machine entered an invalid state while waiting for it to boot. Valid states are 'starting, running'. The machine is in the 'poweroff' state. Please verify everything is configured properly and try again."
I had not clue how to fixed that and I have tried several versions and several installation. Then, then installation of Virtualbox 4.3.12 is working fine so far. If you are running into similar issue get rid of all new Virtualbox versions and try with version 4.3.12, VirtualBox-4.3.12-93733-Win.exe, that might helps you solve the problem.
Similarly, if you are using vagrant I recommend to use Vagrant 1.7.2. Please note that not all versions of vagrant and virtual box are compatible with each other.

The Empire State Building is one of the most iconic buildings in the United States. It is located in downtown Manhattan, New York City, New York. The skyscraper is comprised of 102 stories, and measures 380 meters from ground level to the roof. With the antenna spire, the building has a total height of 443.2 meters.
For a time, this meant that the Empire State Building was the tallest skyscraper in the world, until 1970. As of 2020, the tower is certainly not the tallest in the world, but still an impressive structural feat, being the sixth tallest freestanding structure in the Americas, and the 49th tallest in the world. Though the building intended to be the tallest, it was surpassed as the tallest man-made structure in 1954 by the Griffin Television Tower Oklahoma, and lost its tallest freestanding structure in the world title in 1967 to Ostankino Tower.

Construction on this building started on March 17, 1930, and lasted until April 11, 1931. It was designed by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon and has an Art Deco style to it. The design was reworked several times in the creation process in order to guarantee it would be the tallest building in the world while remaining structurally sound. It was also the first ever building to have more than 100 stories.

The building itself cost $40,948,900 USD to build, which includes the price for the demolition of the Waldorf–Astoria Hotel which previously occupied the space. Given inflation etc. it is estimated that this cost would be equal to roughly $564,491,900 USD today.
Waldorf Astoria, New York City.
The building's facade is made of Indiana Limestone, which gives the building its beige hue. According to official building records, this facade is made from some 200,000 cubic feet of granite and limestone, roughly 10 million bricks, and 730 short tons of stainless steel and aluminum.
The Empire State Building had an extremely large workforce, in large part why it was able to be constructed in such a short time frame. Over 3,500 workers were employed during the peak of construction, the majority of which were immigrants from Italy or Ireland, as well as a significant population of Mohawk ironworkers from Kahnawake in Montreal.
Of the 102 stories in the Empire State Building, 85 are used as commercial and office space. The 86th floor holds the observatory floor, and the floors above this house mainly mechanical equipment. Some prominent companies and businesses that held offices in the building include Air China, Turkish Airlines, Linkedin, Expedia Group, and the Human Rights Foundation.
The Building In Pop Culture

The Empire State building is an icon of American and New York city culture, and has been featured through pop culture since its construction. It was first featured in what is in many ways its most memorable movie, King Kong, in 1933, in which the infamous Kong climbs the tower and is eventually taken down, falling from the impressive height. Since then, the structure has featured in over 250 different movies and TV shows
The Empire State Building was also added to the list of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, the American Institute of Architect's list of America's Favourite Architecture, was designated as a New York City landmark in 1980, and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
Visiting The Empire State Building
Tourists viewing the New York City from the observation deck of the Empire State Building.
Though the building continues to be a functioning office space for many prominent businesses in the city, the Empire State Building is a popular tourist attraction. Each year, roughly 4 million visitors come from all over the globe to see the tower and view New York City from its observation decks. The building is open every day, 365 days a year for visitation, and averages 10,000 to 20,000 people each day. The open-air viewing observatory deck is located on the 86th floor.
A resounding symbol of New York and of America more generally, the Empire State Building is a wonder of architectural brilliance and American prosperity. Those visiting the area can't miss this iconic attraction.

      row = sheet.getRow(0/*row number*/);
      if (row == null)//if row not exists
          row = sheet.createRow(0);
      cellp = row.getCell(4);
      if (cellp == null)
         cellp = row.createCell(0);

"Traveling the world is a special activity, one that we all love! Road-tripping in New Zealand, beach hopping in Thailand, we've done so much that it's hard to keep up. But travel shouldn't be a one-way street. It gives us so much, so perhaps we should give something back, even a little.
And so proworldvolunteers.org was born. We still travel, we still gallivant, we still fly and backpack and couchsurf. We live it up in hotels and ride night buses through India. But we do it with one eye on ourselves and one eye on our impact. So now we travel mindfully. Helping out bit by bit as we travel.
We work with a lot of grassroot organisations, so we leverage our skillsets and help in whatever way we can when we travel at a local level. Web-designing, painting, cooking. Every little helps. So join us, let's travel, but let's contribute too!
As we are traveling the world we often come across timeshare salespeople hoping to sell us a timeshare week. While the DVC Resale program looks interesting, we've learned that it's not a good option for our spontaneous travel habits. The timeshare exit process doesn't seem cheap either. We have learned that if we were to ever buy a timeshare, we'd shop on the resale market and save a ton of money.

Wesleyan Takes Part in "Soccer Night in Newtown"
January 7, 2013 - Three members of Wesleyan's women's soccer team assisted with the administrative side of Soccer Night in Newtown, Conn. Senior captain Jen Brewer (Sandy Hook, Conn), first year Madeline Keane (Newtown, Conn.) and senior Kaylin Berger (Farmington, Conn.) were on hand at the Newtown Youth Academy Sports and Fitness Center for the festivities. Over 1,000 Newtown youth benefitted from the event, with nearly 50 major professional soccer players and national team and World Cup standouts, including Landon Donovan, Kenny Cooper, Kristine Lilly, Christie Rampone, Mia Hamm and Alexi Lalas making appearances. The evening featured four hours of soccer games, autographs and other soccer-oriented activities. "Growing up in Newtown, most kids start playing soccer in kindergarten," said Brewer, who attended Sandy Hook Elementary as a kindergartener and first grader. "All the parents and kids were so appreciative. They were happy to just get away from everything that had been going on and have fun for a while." The Wesleyan trio was assigned to help with the autograph lines.
January 21, 2013 - Bates recently joined the You Can Play team, launching a video supporting inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) athletes in all facets of the College's 31 intercollegiate varsity athletics programs. The video includes 19 current Bates student-athletes and President Clayton Spencer. "The You Can Play program represents the extension to Athletics of our core commitment to inclusion," said President Spencer, "helping to ensure that fans and teammates alike judge our student-athletes and coaches on the effort and commitment they bring to their sport — rather than on sexual orientation, gender identity or expression." The video demonstrates another example of Bates' long institutional history of inclusion and social justice. In May 2012, Bates was one of 10 colleges to be included on Campus Pride's first ever "Out to Play List," for its qualities of inclusion and friendliness in relation to LGBT students. Athletics has sponsored numerous "Athlete Ally" events in conjunction with the Bates Pride Festival.
January 21, 2013 - Members of the Wesleyan men's and women's swimming teams spent time with students at the Macdonough School in Middletown, Conn., helping them in the classroom and out at recess.
January 26, 2013 - Prior to the swimming and diving teams from Tufts participating in the Swim Across America Boston events, they partnered with Fan the Fire's first event of 2013, which was also both teams' senior day. "The atmosphere was great," said senior swimmer Jackie Cygelman. "It was awesome to know that we had friends who came to support us and we had a phenomenal meet." The Jumbos have partnered with Swim Across America for the past several years. "I'm really glad we were able to call attention to the charity by having it at the meet," said Cygelman. "Partnering with Swim Across America was great, and they were super involved, handing out all kinds of free items," said Nancy Bigelow, women's swimming coach. The highlight of the afternoon, for many, was the student relay. "The relay events definitely brought excitement to the meet," said Cygleman.
January 27, 2013 - Members of the Amherst men's and women's basketball teams partnered with Smith College outreach organization Project Coach to host roughly 40 Springfield high-schoolers for a coaching clinic at LeFrak Gym. Amherst student-athletes passed on basketball coaching skills and techniques to the young coaches in addition to sharing more general ideas and advice from their own coaching and playing experiences. Founded in 2002, Project Coach teaches responsibility and leadership to high school student-athletes from Springfield – many from at-risk backgrounds – by training them as coaches. These young coaches then lead youth teams in organized leagues across five different area schools. "We were delighted to do this," said head men's basketball coach David Hixon. "Any way that we can teach kids how to lead benefits those kids in so many ways, and not only them but the other kids that they teach. We were not only helping them with technical aspects of teaching passing and rebounding drills but also having discussions about what it takes to be a coach. As a coach, you're no longer one of the kids. You're also a mentor and a teacher."
January 27, 2013 - Several members of the Colby football team and their head coach, Jonathan Michaeles, participated in the opening ceremonies of the 2013 Maine Special Olympics Winter games held at Sugarloaf Ski Resort. The event served over 350 Special Olympic athletes. The opening ceremonies concluded with ice skating, which Colby football student-athletes also assisted with. Over 1,000 Special Olympians participated in the Maine Winter Games from January 27-29.
January 29, 2013 - The Wesleyan women's lacrosse team went to Newtown, Conn. to hold a clinic. For more than five hours, the players and coaches shared their knowledge of the game with girls from Newtown.
February 1, 2013 - The Connecticut College men's ice hockey team dedicated a game to raising awareness about the "Green Dot" program, a campus initiative to prevent power-based personal violence through bystander intervention. This is the second consecutive year the Camels hosted a Green Dot game. Connecticut College is currently the only institution in the state that has implemented the Green Dot program, in which students, faculty and staff are trained to help prevent power-based personal violence, including sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. To raise awareness of the program and the importance of bystander intervention, players used Green Dot Gear, the Green Dot logo was placed in the ice, and spectators who have completed the Green Dot training were asked to wear their Green Dot t-shirts. During the game, fans had the opportunity to purchase pucks for a "Chuck a Puck" fundraiser that benefitted the Green Dot program. "As a team, we fully support this bystander intervention program and have made a commitment towards making it a significant part of our team's culture. It's an honor to wear a third uniform dedicated to the Green Dot program, and we'd like to thank Coach Ward, Darcie Folsom, and Fran Shields for making it all possible. It will be a great weekend for our team, and for the Connecticut College community as a whole," said junior defenseman Kevin Reich.
February 2, 2013 - The Middlebury men's hockey team raised money and awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project during its February 1-2 games at Kenyon Arena. The Panthers wore camouflage jerseys against Wesleyan on Friday night and Trinity on Saturday afternoon and then auctioned off game-worn jerseys. The team has also been selling apparel to help benefit the project. Middlebury is working with "Hockey Helpers" to help raise money for this cause. To date, the Panthers have raised $7,630.00. The Wounded Warrior Project is a nonprofit organization whose stated mission is to "honor and empower wounded warriors" of the United States Armed Forces. "The Wounded Warrior Project" (WWP) works to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, to help members aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs."
February 2, 2013 - The Tufts men's ice hockey team partnered with the White Ribbon Campaign, Jane Doe Inc. and Connecticut College's Green Dot Program during its game against the Camels. It was also the second Fan the Fire event of 2013. The Jumbos wore green tape on their shin pads and sticks as well as stickers on their helmets to honor and promote the organizations they have teamed up with. "The White Ribbon Campaign is something Tufts Health Services promotes, and we are helping them highlight the campaign and its message," said junior men's hockey player Tim Mitropoulos. "The team was part of the White Ribbon Campaign two years ago and we want to continue to support their message: to prevent violence against women."

Glashütte Original Teams Up with Its Swatch Group Partners for the Calibre 36
Known for self-reliance, the German brand has created a movement that incorporates Swiss technology…

Glashütte Original's latest movement adds a touch of Swiss technology.
Before the Berlin wall fell in 1989, the watch factory that would become Glashütte Original was a manufacture frozen in time. Lacking access to computers and CNC machines, employees designed movements on drawing boards and made them on lathes. The watches—at that time made in large numbers for the Eastern Bloc—were sturdy, reliable, and highly traditional, built on three-quarter plates according to Saxon custom. After reunification, the reorganized Glashütte Original retained many of those traditional values, especially its penchant for self-reliance, even after its acquisition by the Swatch Group at the turn of the millennium. So cognoscenti were stunned to hear earlier this year that the newest Glashütte Original caliber would feature intensive collaboration with other Swatch Group companies, including a silicon hairspring made by the group's Nivarox division.

Yann Gamard thinks the cognoscenti are overreacting. "I am convinced that if Abraham Louis Breguet had known this material [silicon] had existed 200 years ago, he would have used it," says the Glashütte CEO. "He would never forego the advantages of isochronism and antimagnetism." By Gamard's reckoning, the new Calibre 36 is the epitome of horological tradition.
Recently deployed in the Senator Excellence, the three-hand automatic movement has been four years in the making—a year more than planned. The Glashütte way is to build a movement that is as strong and reliable as possible, not only as a stand-alone watch but also as a base for complications. "In Switzerland you see a lot of movements that are flatter than ours, but we're not afraid to make a movement that's a little thicker," Gamard explains. "When you start to add four or five or six hands, it becomes a burden, and our objective is to create a robust movement that we can completely exploit." The robustness of the Calibre 36 begins with the mainspring. Working with Nivarox, the company developed a new high-flexibility alloy called Elinflex and also a smaller barrel arbor that leaves more room for the spring to be wound, resulting in a power reserve of 100 hours. Gamard explains that the main advantage of all that stored power is not convenience so much as stability. Working in tandem with the new silicon hairspring and an optimized gear train, the Elinflex mainspring delivers almost no performance loss over the full hundred-hour timespan. (Every watch comes with a lab report showing the results of 24 days of rigorous testing, as well as a guarantee of chronometer-level performance.)
Beyond the materials and engineering, Gamard attributes the movement's stability to the assembly process, which was streamlined to eliminate unnecessary handling. One notable innovation is a bayonet mount that secures the movement in the case in the way that a lens mounts to a camera. As a result of that simplification and many other refinements, the watches take less time than usual to put together. "From a cost standpoint, we've got more time on our hands to add more finishing," says Gamard. Screws are blued, plates are angled, and every wheel is decorated, all according to Saxon tradition.
"Our challenge in Germany is to match the quality of the Swiss," Gamard confides. By his reckoning, Swatch Group partners are not only facilitating that ambition, but also validating it. "When our partners come here from Switzerland, they don't think 'let's go see those jokers there in Germany,'" he jests. "There's mutual respect. With the Calibre 36, we have proved that once more."

Since ancient times, the oak has been considered a sacred tree. Its cult dates back to Roman, Greek and also Celtic civilizations. It was described as strong and perfect, thanks to its imposing branches, and firm thanks to its extensive roots. It is depicted as "the Tree of Life": an image of fertility, strength with an ability to survive even in the most difficult circumstances. In Amen jewellery, the oak represents completeness and eternity, the cycle of life that comes from the earth and then turns towards heaven.

The Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington
Fellows enjoy unparalleled access to extensive resources housed in the 45,000 square-foot Library, and benefit from the support of specially-trained staff who can connect them with other invaluable research resources. The Washington Library safeguards a large and growing collection of original Washington books and manuscripts and materials from the founding era. Researchers also have access to the facility's General Collections, Special Collections, and Archival Collections, which include books, e-books, e-resources, periodicals, newspapers, pamphlets, information files, microfilm, audio visual material, manuscripts, maps, and vertical files.
George Washington's Mount Vernon
By living and working on George Washington's estate, fellows will enjoy the opportunity to connect and collaborate with Mount Vernon's on-site experts in early American history, preservation, archaeology, decorative arts, landscapes, digital humanities, and other relevant fields, as well as the scholars who frequently visit for lectures, research, educational programs, and leadership programs. Fellows participate in numerous special events on the estate and play a major role in building a rich atmosphere of scholarly debate and conversation at the Library.
Scholars' Residence
As part of the award package, fellows will have the opportunity to reside in The Richard and Helen DeVos House, a scholars' residence, located just 150 feet west of the Washington Library entrance. The building consists of accommodations for eight scholars, a small kitchen, and a combination living/dining area.
