In Clothes Called Fat
Created by: Moyoco Anno
[A note: this review will contain depictions of nude women from the work being reviewed. Discretion is left to the reader.]
The Ancient Near East was a land filled with gods and cosmologies at war with all others. The inhabitants of every nook and cranny had their own deities and their own religious customs and their own emphases. And as with the religions of today, the zealous devotees of one god were not particularly interested in tolerating the gods of their neighbours. It made sense for a culture to have a god different from that of a neighbouring culture—after all, if you wished to war with and then absorb a neighbour, it didn't make much sense to pray to a god you both worshipped and/or served. Gods of seas, gods of rivers, gods of land, gods of fire, gods of sky, gods of clouds, gods of rain, gods of sex and of war and of death and of life and of alacrity. Take your pick. Different gods for different needs. And all the different practices that go along with those needs.
Still, almost across the board in the Ancient Near East, there was a great commonality. These gods received some form of visible rendition. Idols proliferated. Carved images, painted figurines, metaphorical representations. It's probable that no Philistine actually thought Dagon looked like a hybrid between a fish and a dude, but people need something to hold on to, a little prop to turn mere metaphor into something vaguely solid and believable. But not the people of Israel. Their god, Yahweh, disallowed physical representation of deity (we even see this carried forth into the Islamic antipathy toward the visual expression of Moses, Jesus, Mohammed—and really, any of their prophets). The thing was: Yahweh was considered too vast and magnificent to be represented by something as inarticulate as an image. When the Israelites were cursed at the foot of Sinai for building a golden calf, it wasn't for following another god; instead, they had minimized Yahweh by creating a Yahweh-idol that magnified only his strength (what a calf was known for in that culture). The problem with the golden calf or bull was that it crafted an inadequate portrait of Yahweh.
FYI: The images in this review read right-to-left, the Japanese way!
And that's the trick. Art objectifies its subject. Inherently.11And actually, literally, while we're at it. The nature of illustration, of painting, of cartooning is to take things—whether animal, vegetable, mineral, or ideal—from their multifaceted, multidimensional, highly nuanced reality and smash them down into a flat, inadequate representation of their actual selves.
But we're generally okay with this because, thinking people that we are,22Even if only on a subconscious level much of the time… we recognize that the intention of objectification is not to explore with ultimate depth and patience the full expression of the object of our objectification. When I draw a woman or a chair or a political ideology, I can reasonably only investigate a fractional portion of her/its multitude of properties. If I draw a Dollar Sign or the Uncle Pennybags33 or an Illuminati Pyramid With An Eye and call it "capitalism," you might get some sense of some portion of what I'm intending to describe about the economic ideology, but only that. And we're usually okay with this because we recognize that the work of art was never intended to entirely explain capitalism. We might object to what I've said about capitalism, but our objection will always be because we think the aspect represented was poorly described, not because we expected the representation to entirely explore or explain the theory.
In the present circumstance in which the world finds itself circa the beginning of the third millennium AD, sexual objectification (esp. of women) has come under particular scrutiny—not so much because of its nature, but because the context in which it occurs plays into a harmful societal condition leading generally to a misogynistic culture that renders the female experience of life particularly less readily enjoyable than the male experience of the same.44In the same way that the group of kids who will get stung by bees at birthday parties can be said to have a less enjoyable experience than the group who doesn't get stung—even if through luck, circumstance, and outlook the bee-stung kids eventually happen to experience more joy at said parties unrelated to the bee stings.. There is nothing exactly insidious about the objectification of women in and of itself. As art the Mona Lisa is inherently an objectification—though not one we readily recognize as being harmful. The problem, then, is twofold: 1) the overwhelming singlemindedness in the tendency to reduce women for objectification along a single vector (sexual availability); and 2) the tendency for the members of the contemporary society to forget that objectification is meant only to convey a narrow portion of the object's properties thereby allowing that narrow perception to govern the conception of the whole.
In short, women are largely and forcefully objectified along sexually titillating lines and the consumers of that objectification begin to perceive women wholly through sexual filters, breaking the tacit agreement that objectification is only meant to convey limited facets. This breach of the normal experience of objectification (say, the kind we comprehend easily when viewing a child's drawing of a cactus or a dog) actually meets up well with the trouble Yahweh had with objectifications of his own self. In portraying Yahweh as a calf, a symbol of strength in the Ancient Near East, the fear was that his Israelite worshipers would begin to view him wholly as a a deity of bullish strength (much as the fire-and-brimstone preachers of legend gleefully viewed the Christian god principally as a being of wrath and terror). So the tendency of people to break the good-faith agreement between the objectification and the object is not new, and special care must be taken in the dismantlement of the problem.
Moyoco Anno's In Clothes Called Fat intimately concerns a world maintained and partly governed by the sexual objectification of women and reads as a good companion to Kyoko Okazaki's Helter Skelter. The book revolves wholly around how the principal identity of a woman is founded in her attractiveness. Every new chapter (save for the finale) is abstractly heralded by the depiction of a lean, beautiful, and often nude woman—who is not (until the last chapter) the protagonist. The entire ecosystem of Anno's story is populated by an ethos and ethic developed around the desirability of women.
Noko is fat. She works in a business office, has a small taste of office social life, and keeps a handsome longterm boyfriend. But she is definitely fat. And while Anno's portrayal of her obesity waxes and wanes, she is defined (and irrevocably so) by her weight. Early on, she deliciously describes herself: "It's like I'm wearing a leotard of flesh that can never be removed." Her position with regard to her social circle, female co-workers, boss, and boyfriend are all exactly circumscribed by the way she looks. She lives in a world where the sexual objectification of the female has run amok. That is, of course, to say: she lives in a world crisply reflective of our own.
I'm not certain of the intricacies of Japanese culture and how measured their reaction to an obese woman would be, but while the American reaction (probably) wouldn't be outright bullying outside the cesspit interactions of YouTube and online forums, her measure as a woman would certainly be underlined and calcified by her weight. We value women in accord to their attractiveness. We believe that a woman can have use without looking good, but we're more willing to believe her useful if she's attractive. And then if she is attractive, we're more willing to forgive her inadequacies. In this manner, In Clothes Called Fat reflects even the American ideologies pretty well and should make for a fairly seamless read for the Western reader.
Anno delves into the experience and mystery of the culture's fascination with beauty through unsparing episodes from Noko's life. Her sex life, the bullying she experiences at work, her abortive attempts at self control. Noko is victimized by her own lack of self-confidence and inability to truly grasp the manner of the world about her. A dietician describes Noko: "Her soul is obese." Anno allows the reader to dwell in Noko's thoughts, giving us insight enough into the protagonist's sense of the world and herself.55 In an interesting turn, Anno presents three other minor point-of-view characters (Mayumi, Noko's antagonist co-worker; Saito, Noko's boyfriend; and Kiyo, Noko's dietician), allowing the world to be fleshed out in still more interesting ways.
The principle conflict seems to be the question of whether Noko will be able to lose weight, thereby gaining confidence and a place in society, but Anno is canny enough to avoid a problem/solution pairing so pedestrian. Instead, In Clothes Called Fat wonders if it really is the clothes that make the man, postulating instead that no woman can successfully survive the ravaging of society and escape with her true self intact.66 It even hints that men too are damaged by the sexual objectification of women by temporarily engaging Saito's personal struggles and inadequacies, completely invisible to Noko.
Visually, In Clothes Called Fat engages Anno's theme through the ready visual objectification (and sexual objectification) of its characters. Noko spends substantial time in the narrative naked, often having sex and one time having her body poured over and lusciously examined by a paramour. Mayumi too is forcefully depicted as almost pure sex appeal and her identity is determined by her fulfillment of the male sex fantasy. Anno's figurework resembles the loose grotesques present in Kyoko's Okazaki's books and whether intentional or not, this works to diffuse much of what would otherwise be titillating in the book. Both Noko and Mayumi are thoroughly and consciously rendered as sex objects, but we can almost immediately understand it as holding narrative heft (as opposed to much of what we've come to expect from the depiction of women in the visual arts).
This is not a relishment in sexual objectification but labours instead as an indictment of it.77Which is totally the kind of thing that a lot of untalented, thoughtless sexual objectification pretends to attain. By the epilogue, we are neither pleased nor amused by the ends of any of the characters nor in the circumstances that prompt those ends. We do not enjoy or approve of Noko's closing determination, but we can understand her resignation because we're neither stupid nor blind to the way of the world.
In Clothes Called Fat does that thing the best books do. It prompts renewed thoughtfulness about the world, the nature of civilization, and our place in both. We shouldn't expect that Moyoco Anno will change the world with this small graphic novel, but we might as well hope. And at the least we can allow ourselves to be affected and renovated.


The container installation allows contestations and different spatial realities to come to the fore. The sculptural intervention provokes the multi-layered question of transformation and resilience as a defining aspect of urbanisation in the contemporary African city.
Industrial containers or vessels of mass commoditisation have been used and inventively repurposed for a wide range of uses, and adapted for places of human production, retail, pleasure, and habitation.
The #FREESPACE installation acts as a symbolic bridging point between people and their perspectives on space. Everyone is invited to engage in an immersive experience, reflecting the open #FREESPACE debate. Artist interventions invite public exchange, creating an active space rich in meaning and contestation.
As an 'ark of knowledge', the container will be hung in public space, as a symbolic vessel that conveys memory through the act of migration and change. An allegory to the notion of a transient and adaptive shelter, it represents a lens through which collectively South Africans can reflect and find resonance around the notion or ideal of 'the diverse nation'.

Tommy Cannon (Thomas Derbyshire) and Bobby Ball (Robert Harper) began their showbiz career as singers after meeting at the Oldham works where they were both welders. After playing the clubs and pubs of Manchester throughout the sixties they moved over to comedy, which as they noticed, paid more.
After their TV debut on The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club in 1974 they were offered more TV work, but 1978 could have been the big TV breakthrough for the duo as they had been hired to provide a weekly comedy spot on London Weekend's Bruce's Big Night which meant travelling down to London each week. But due to scheduling issues the show would over-run and their spot would be dropped, week after week. Surprisingly, LWT did the decent thing and gave them their own series in summer 1979. One of the regular writers was Andrew Marshall who would help create the brilliant End Of Part One for LWT the following year. The show was purely jokes and sketches with no musical guests, but their second series starting in April 1980 had singing group Ritz as resident guests.
By the early eighties their persistence and hard work had paid off. They were the biggest act in Blackpool, selling numbers of seats most rock bands could only dream of and were rightly voted the best male entertainers in clubland for three years running. So if they were so big in the north, why would a London based TV channel offer them their only chance of regular TV work? Granada had brought us The Comedians and The Wheeltappers and Shunters, but were not really known as a light entertainment company. Despite Granada's oversight the duo kept true to their roots and never moved south.
Their third series in May 1981 saw guests Anne Murray, Lulu, Alan Price and the return of Ritz, and after a special recorded at Drury Lane they were back at the London Weekend studios in May 1982 with David Essex, Adam & The Ants, Leo Sayer, Iris Williams and Frankie Laine. After an Easter special with Mari Wilson they were back in December 1983 and into 1984 with Status Quo, Cliff Richard, Shakin' Stevens, The Three Degrees, Robin Gibb, Four Tops, while late 1984 they played host to Sister Sledge, Big Country, Paul Young, Shakatak and Chas & Dave. They were definitely attracting top names, which suggested a level of respect for the duo. It was about this time that LWT enlisted Paul Jackson to produce their shows. Having previously worked on shows like The Young Ones and The Two Ronnies he was perfect casting and even persuaded Rik Mayall to make an appearance on the show.
Having taken 1985 off from the telly, apart from a Best Of, they were back in 1986 with a Christmas special. They had invited Little Richard who was going through a renaissance in both music and on screen, and the duo joined him on his new hit Great Gosh A Mighty, probably the finest musical moment of Cannon and Ball's career. They would be back for a final series for LWT in 1988 with guests Aswad, Maxi Priest and Kim Wilde.
Christmas Eve 1988 saw a move to Yorkshire TV for a one-off special, returning with Cannon and Ball's Casino in May 1990 with guests including Dusty Springfield, Big Country, Tanita Tikaram, Elkie Brooks, Leo Sayer and a surprising number of newer acts, probably foisted upon the producers by pluggers.
Then it was over, either TV turned its back, or they were wise enough to know they were still the biggest stage attraction in the country and that's where they belonged. They continue to sell outrageous amounts of tickets for their live shows, even their gospel shows outsell most rock shows, while Bobby also had an impressive side-line acting in sitcoms like Not Going Out.

We've all heard the phrase 'shoot the damn dog' by comical dads on American TV programmes.
Now it seems the animals may be getting their own back.
A court in Germany has heard how a pet owner was injured after being shot in the arm by his own mutt.
The dog shot the owner in the arm after managing to release the trigger to the rifle, which was lying loaded in his car.
The man, who is a 'passionate' hunter, had his firearms license revoked at the Munich administrative court, and was appealing against the decision, which was dismissed on Tuesday.
He has also lost his hunting permit after the incident, which happened in 2016.
The court ruled the hunter couldn't be relied upon 'because it must be assumed that he will handle firearms and ammunition carelessly in future as well'.
The man, whose name wasn't released, can appeal the verdict. The breed of the dog and its name was not released either.
It comes two months after an American man was shot by his Rottweiler mix, Charlie, in his own pickup truck.
Sonny Gilligan was going on a Jackrabbit hunt with his three dogs Charlie, Scooter and Cowboy in New Mexico, when Charlie slipped in the back and got his paw stuck in the trigger of the gun.
He then fired it at his unsuspecting owner, who was sitting in the driver's seat, leaving a 'gaping hole' in his torso.
Sonny was injured but survived and said Charlie was 'very loving' and 'didn't mean to do it'.
In Russia last year it was reported that 64-year-old Sergei Terekhov was killed while hunting with his brother when one of his Estonian hounds began 'frolicking' on the banks of the Volga.
His paw became trapped in a rifle that was lying on the ground and fired at Mr Terekhov.

Summary of cost of living changes in the September Quarter 2018. This Update features an in-depth look at petrol costs. It also looks at affordability, particularly for low income households and regional consumers. CPI figures show that over the last year petrol prices went up by 19.2% in Adelaide, and by around 30% over the two years combined. However, the broader picture of petrol prices is more nuanced.


Sometimes, little things mean a lot and they are often an affordable way to make a real difference without a total remodel or giant expense. The blink-and-you'll-miss-it touches that make a house a home are the stuff we remember years after we've moved on to someplace new; the shape of an odd doorknob, the edge of a reading room rug, the way a particular curtain catches the light can stay with us for ages after the visual cues themselves are no longer there. It only takes a little color or texture to change the appearance of a room and bring in some unique styling that sets it apart from an otherwise typical and boring look. Today, we focus on one of those finishing flourishes that isn't talked about much; the back splash. We unconsciously stare at it — even through it, really — when we wash our hands and do the dishes, so why not add a little beauty, whimsy or quirk? This roundup of interesting backsplash designs focuses on exactly the sorts of things that turn the mundane into something far more and memorable. If you are doing a complete kitchen remodel then take a look at these outstanding pictures of 100 Kitchen Ideas & Images we complied.

4 Ways to Effectively Promote Your Coffee Brand with Online Marketing!
Even though tips like these are usually vague and unhelpful, every business owner has heard them a thousand times. But where do you begin? How do you know what to write and how to effectively promote your content? How do you become a brand that people remember?
Today, we're going to give you some insight on how to use online marketing effectively.
These aren't just random tips copied from other places on the internet. These are tactics that we at Diedrich Roasters have used (and continue to use) to grow our online presence, increase our revenue, and make our customers feel like family.
One thing before we begin… Make sure you know what marketers call your "USP" or Unique Selling Point. What makes your product better or special? How do you stand out from your competition? Why will people look to you specifically to solve their needs or desires?
People are bombarded with hundreds of different brand stories and advertisements every day. You can't afford to be like all the rest. Answering these questions will help you develop a unique identity and message that your customers will grow to love.
Every business needs a blog. Even yours. Publishing regular blog posts not only allows you to rank on search engines like Google so people can find you more easily, but they give you a chance to demonstrate your authority, express your brand identity, and add value to your readers.
A lot of businesses (maybe even most) use blogging ineffectively — if they have one at all. Your blog isn't a journal or diary. It's not a place to write random thoughts down, no matter how interesting they might be.
The point of your blog should always be to deliver value of some kind. Teach your readers something. Make them smile. Make them laugh. They will begin to recognize your brand name as someone they can trust.
And while publishing your own blog is important, don't miss out on the opportunity to reach out to other bloggers and influencers in your space. Are there interesting food or travel blogs dedicated to your city? Contact those authors and see if they would be interested in writing about you… Or, better yet, see if you can write a guest post for their readers. It's a win-win.
Just like blogs, there are too many businesses who use social media in a way that is boring and unimportant. They're missing out on a ton of great opportunities! In industries such as the coffee industry, social media has huge potential.
The biggest advantage of social media is the ability to interact with your customer base and have them interact with you. Give people an easy way to discover and share your content: Use hashtags, images, and video to promote engaging content. Ask questions on your feed and respond to their comments. The point is to portray the personality behind your business.
One big trend in online marketing currently is user generated content. Encourage your fans and followers to upload content of their own to your page. You can host contests or simply tell customers to submit pictures of cup drawings (as Starbucks did to great success). Feature and give a shout out to the most interesting submissions. It's a great way to get your fans involved.
Don't be afraid to explore other avenues besides the big ones like Facebook and Instagram, either. Recent studies have shown that Youtube and Snapchat are underutilized by marketing teams, despite the fact that these are two of millenials' favorite platforms. For brick-and-mortar businesses, gathering positive reviews on sites like Yelp can also boost your credibility and encourage people to come in to check the place out.
Email marketing is the lifeblood of any business. "Email?" you ask. "Isn't that a little outdated?" The answer is… no. A 2014 study found that, for every dollar a business invests into email marketing, it has the potential to 40X their revenue!
The explanation is simple. People who have signed up for your email list have already "qualified" themselves as leads. That's just a way of saying that they've already told you that they're interested in your business.
By continually sending them high-quality newsletters, exclusive deals, and other unique content, your readers will start to see your name in their inbox and think, "Oh, it's my friend Coffee Shop Owner. I wonder what they have to say." When you go to launch a new product or offer a new promotion, the subscribers on your email list will already be "warmed up" to the idea. Those are your biggest fans.
But how do you get people to sign up for your list in the first place? In online marketing, this is called an "opt-in" or "lead magnet." Essentially, offer something that's difficult to resist. A free coupon or some other helpful resource will incentivize people to sign up. Then, it's your job to continue delivering value to their inbox so they can stay engaged.
The tips above are just some of the ways that successful coffee brands have built up their businesses by using online marketing strategies. There are a ton more out there though, so be sure to test and evaluate other avenues that your own business might be interested in.
For example, at Diedrich we've found success in utilizing things like a podcast and Facebook live streaming, but you might want to target Pinterest or focus on developing strong relationships with community influencers online. Any business can follow the path of another, but it's up to you to find what works for you.
What marketing efforts have you found to be successful or unsuccessful? What struggles or challenges have you had with online marketing in the past? We'd love to hear from you.

Close-circuit cameras captured the two stealing currency notes of the denomination of Rs 1,000 and concealing these under their shirts.
Avtar Singh Makkar, SGPC president, said the Manpreet Singh and Kuljeet Singh had been placed under suspension.
When frisked, Rs 80,000 in cash was recovered from them, he said.

Is it wrong to expect that this should not have happened? I guess there were people like these in times of the Ten Gurus too.

Why can't be there 5 different Punj Piayaras from the local public when the money is being counted. Millions of dollars remain unaccounted because I am sure they are working on the behalf of the top brass for some commission, just like the drug carriers.
It is not only a shame but a disgraceful thing to do but there is this inside Blue robed mafia who wants to grab as if it were their right.
My questions is why were the thieves suspended rather than arrested?

Nun faces grand larceny charge tied to casino gambling
A nun with a casino gambling problem will be charged today with stealing more than $100,000 from two churches where she worked in Orleans County, The Buffalo News learned late Sunday.
Investigators believe that donations made by parishioners were stolen by the nun, and she has been treated for an addiction to casino gambling, sources close to the case told The News.
Although there have been several cases in recent years in which at least one priest and several area church employees were caught stealing large amounts of money to finance casino gambling addictions or extravagant spending, Cardone said he does not recall any such case involving any local nuns.
While local authorities could not recall another recent case in which a nun was accused of theft, there have been a number of similar incidents involving church employees and at least one priest:
• In July 2009, the Rev. F. Norman Sullivan, 74, admitted in court that he had been stealing for years from Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Cheektowaga. While making a salary of $20,000, Sullivan admitted, he stole nearly $214,000 over a period of eight years. He owned condos in Fort Myers, Fla., and the Virgin Islands, and repaid all the money after investigators caught him.
• In June 2008, Randall Kozlowski admitted in court that he stole nearly $400,000 while keeping the books for another Cheektowaga parish, Our Lady Help of Christians. Kozlowski said he routinely wrote checks to himself to cover gambling debts.
• In July 2007, former church office manager Maureen Durrell was sentenced to six months in prison after she was convicted of stealing $488,000 from St. Christopher Church in the Town of Tonawanda. The Erie County District Attorney's Office said she spent stolen money on lavish vacations, home improvements and family expenses.

They were just small cats going for the cream, bigger ones obviously caught them reducing their portion!
A good thing to think is what the Gurus would have done? And what is being done right now? That would show how far we have come.
The GURU BURNT them in boiling cauldrons of hot oil... ( So much for waiting for them to die first before punishing them in "Hell"...that's another proof that reincarnation and heavens hells dont exist..??..so such nasties got o be punished HERE and NOW...

3 more booked for theft at Golden Temple
The police has booked three more persons, including deputy manager of the Golden Temple Gulzar Singh and sewadars Balbir Singh and Baldev Singh, under Sections 381, 408 and 120-B of the IPC for stealing from the gurdwara 'golak' (collections).
Earlier, sewadars Manpreet Singh and Kuljeet Singh, who were caught stealing cash offerings on the CCTV, were suspended by the SGPC. The two were deputed for counting cash in the SGPC's treasury department.
On February 2, Manpreet Singh concealed bundles of notes in his shirt with the help of Kuljit Singh. However, one of the bundles containing Rs 80,000 fell and was later found by a gurdwara inspector.
Balbir Singh and Baldev Singh, who allowed the two sewadars to flee after the theft, have been suspended by the SGPC.
Its naive to think that this was going on under the nose of SGPC management and they did not know... there is/was a clear nexus between the top and lowest level... Simple mathematics, Rs. 80,000 in one instance of currency counting and there would countless such instances in a single day let us say 25 ... consider the amount of money stolen daily over the... decades... :a29:

Q: How find this limits $\lim_{n\to\infty}n^A\left(\sin{a_{n}}+\cos{a_{n}})^n-e\right)=B$
let $a_{n}\in(0,\dfrac{\pi}{2})$ is a root of the equation
  $$\tan{x}+\cos{x}=n,n\ge 2$$
  I have prove
  $$\lim_{n\to\infty}(\sin{a_{n}}+\cos{a_{n}})^n=e$$
  Because $\tan{a_{n}}\in[n-1,n+1]$,so
  $\tan{a_{n}}=n+o(n)$

then
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}(\sin{a_{n}}+\cos{a_{n}})^n=\lim_{n\to\infty}(1+\dfrac{2\tan{a_{n}}}{1+\tan^2{a_{n}}})^{n/2}=e$$
My Question:Can we Obtain a Higher asymptotic expansion?
see wolf
such this form
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}n^A\left(\sin{a_{n}}+\cos{a_{n}})^n-e\right)=B$$
Find $A,B$?

A: Let $b_n=\frac\pi2-a_n$, so that $b_n$ will be near $0$ and $\cot b_n+\sin b_n=n$. The function
$$
f(x) = \frac1{\cot x+\sin x}
$$
satisfies $f(0)$ and $f'(0)\ne0$, so it is invertible near $x=0$, and $b_n = f^{-1}(\frac1n)$. We want to understand the quantity $(\sin a_n+\cos a_n)^n = (\cos b_n+\sin b_n)^n$; equivalently, we want to understand
$$
\exp\big( n\log(\cos b_n+\sin b_n) \big) = \exp\big( n\log(\cos f^{-1}(\tfrac1n)+\sin f^{-1}(\tfrac1n)) \big).
$$
This is the value of the function
$$
g(x) = \exp\big( \tfrac1x \log(\cos f^{-1}(x)+\sin f^{-1}(x)) \big)
$$
at $x=\frac1n$. The power series of $g(x)$ at $x=0$ (computable by WolframAlpha, or slowly by hand using known power series, composition rules, and the Lagrange inversion formula) is
$$
g(x) = e\big( 1-x+\frac{11 x^2}{6}-\frac{7 x^3}{2}+\frac{2267 x^4}{360}-\frac{851 x^5}{72}+\frac{192305 x^6}{9072}+\cdots \big).
$$
In particular,
$$
\lim_{n\to\infty} n^1 \big( (\sin a_n+\cos a_n)^n-e \big) = \lim_{n\to\infty} \big( n g(\tfrac1n) -e \big) = -e.
$$

Q: Spring MVC jsp not found when path contains multiple parts Any help is appreciated. I have Spring Boot MVC application and have noticed some inconsistencies with my view being rendered. I am currently using Spring Boot starter parent with version 2.3.4.RELEASE, Spring Security and an embedded Tomcat Server and Kotlin (in eclipse. yes i agree that was probably a mistake because kotlin support in ecliplse is very lacking)
When mapping a Get Request with just a single /findData my application finds and renders the view correctly. Using a multipart /moreSpecific/findData url the application returns with a 404 not found for the jsp. I am not sure what the difference is but the application cannot find my jsp's based upon the requestMapping?
It is not failing with a 403 so I do not believe that it is a Spring Security issue
Application.properties
spring.mvc.view.prefix=WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp

RequestMappings / stack
@RequestMapping( value=["/findData"], method = [RequestMethod.GET])
fun get(): String {
    return "findData"
}

I am truly confounded by this. Is this a tomcat behavior?

Digital, Online, Internet Marketing - What's the Difference?
Digital, Online, Internet Marketing – What's the Difference?
I thought I'd write a little article about the history of digital marketing terminology.
I believe there is some ambiguity over whether digital marketing, internet marketing and online marketing are one and the same thing and if not, what is the difference?
I've noticed through my work in the digital sector that things have changed over time for one reason or another, so I thought I'd investigate why.
I believe that more people are using "digital marketing" related search terms when actually trying to find information relating to "online marketing" because they don't understand the subtle difference. I see digital marketing as the umbrella to online or internet marketing. Digital marketing isn't synonymous with online marketing but it actually covers a far broader range of digital channels, devices or platforms such as; billboards, DTV, mobile/tablet, podcasts, radio etc…The mode of communication and customer behaviour differs.
As an agency, especially one that offers SEO as a service, we need to know what people mean when they type certain search phrases into Google – this is referred to as 'Searcher Intent'. We know from experience that people typing "digital marketing agency" into Google are, 99% of the time, interested in online marketing.
There are many categories of digital marketing, some old and some new, but what is clear is that the number of new forms of digital marketing that are becoming prevalent is not declining. Inevitably these types of niche marketing will be spoken about and searched for online, with the outcome being that "digital marketing" will be used as an alternative and therefore interest in that search phrase will continue to grow.
If you fancy learning more about "digital marketing" then join one of Digital Marketing training courses. Digital Kitchen offers courses across an array of disciplines and difficulties, find out more today.

My favorite hobbies would be hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, dirt biking, playing lacrosse and of course making calls. I was born in Georgia and moved to Idaho when i was about 6 or 7, and absolutely love it here. My dad had always been into waterfowl hunting and i really got into it when we moved here. I got better and better at hunting and learned to call very well. Then decided why not own a call company, so I talked to my dad about starting one. We decided to buy a company that just started up and now we have ran it for over a year and a half now, and I love it so much!
Hi my name is Barry Jardine and I am the other owner of Northern Custom Calls. I am also the father to Hunter. Together we run NCC and we both love it. Hunter came to me with the idea and we thought it would be fun and another way to make some side money. And thats how were here. So a little bit about me. I was born in California, but with a dad in the Air Force, we moved alot. I worked on a commercial fishing boat in Alaska as a young adult. I then moved to Rexburg for college and thats where I met my beautiful wife and now we have been married for 20+ years. Shortly after being married we moved to Georgia for her to go to hygiene school, and then thats when I decided to go to dental school. After graduating dental school and having 3 kids, we moved back to Idaho(mainly for the hunting) but I built a practice here in Meridian, "Southern Springs Dental" and another in Payette "Payette Dental" . We now have 5 kids and love it here Idaho.

iSchool students test new CI Facilitator curriculum
Wednesday, January 7, 2009, By News Staff
Syracuse University's School of Information Studies (iSchool) has selected its first cohort of students in a program designed to educate a new breed of information professional for the scientific and engineering communities.
Each of the five iSchool master's students completed an undergraduate degree in the sciences, and each is now undertaking a series of courses and pre-professional activities to become a cyberinfrastructure facilitator (CI facilitator). These new information professionals will possess the skills to discover and serve the information needs of scientific researchers.
The first cohort comprises:
Ashley Christopher '08, G'10-a graduate student in information management who holds a B.S. in biology from SU;
Amanda Mitchell G'10-a graduate student in library and information science who holds a bachelor's degree in biology and English from Colgate University;
Heidi Webb G'10-a graduate student in library and information science who holds a bachelor's degree in environmental science from Wells College;
Nick Weber G'10-a graduate student in information management who holds a B.S. in comprehensive sciences and honors from Villanova University; and
Clyde White '08, G'10-a graduate student in information management who holds a B.S. degree in information management and technology from the iSchool at Syracuse.
These students play an integral role in the iSchool's two-year, $244,000 grant "CI- Facilitators: Information Architects across the STEM Disciplines" from the National Science Foundation's Office of Cyberinfrastructure. Cyberinfrastructure refers to solutions for connecting people, data and technology in ways that facilitate discovery of valuable knowledge. The cyberinfrastructure facilitator forges links between researchers and information tools in order to manage, organize, mine and process the immense amounts of scientific data that are continuously generated in the research process.
The NSF project is headed by Associate Dean for Research Jeff Stanton, Dean Elizabeth D. Liddy and professors Derrick L. Cogburn, Paul Gandel, R. David Lankes and Megan Oakleaf.
The students testing the new curriculum receive tuition support and have the opportunity to contribute to the development of a new profession in the information field.
Some of the students began their studies by enrolling in a new course this fall, Cogburn's "Distributed Collaboration and Emerging Technologies" (IST 500). The course covered the rapidly expanding practice of geographically distributed collaboration in environments such as virtual organizations, communities and teams, and the social practices and technology infrastructure that support this new form of organization.
"The course allowed me to compare and contrast the challenges and opportunities for collaboration in the international, private and governmental sectors, as student teams worked with groups from these various sectors," says White. "In addition to the material, lecture, readings and laboratory work, creating and implementing a collaboration plan for an actual organization was an invaluable experiential learning opportunity."
This spring, the students will enroll in IST 600, "Scientific Data Management," a course developed as part of the NSF-funded Science Data Literacy project. This course, taught by John D'Ignazio, will cover the fundamentals about scientific data, data management with case studies, and the use of scientific data with tools.
"I have always been interested in science, but never in developing my own research experiments," says library student Webb. "The CI Facilitator project will allow me to combine that interest in science along with my growing interest in information management and better prepare myself for the changing nature of librarianship in the sciences."
Weber also found the combination of information management and science appealing. "I have a strong interest in science and technology, but I also know I don't want to do lab or bench science myself," Weber says. "I hoped to have an effect on something bigger and broader, and to facilitate scientific endeavors using some of my more social and humanistic educational background."
Christopher hopes that this unique opportunity will put her on the fast-track for a career in the biotech industry, and Mitchell believes the combination of technology, science and library courses will set her apart from peers in her attempt to become a science librarian.
"The CI Facilitator project is a fascinating opportunity to combine my science background with my passion for helping people with their information needs," Mitchell says. "My double major explains my attraction to library science: I couldn't decide between English and bio, and there were a couple of other areas I would have liked to minor in, too. It seemed to me that by becoming a librarian, I could-and would have to-stay knowledgeable about a lot of different fields, which is what I've always enjoyed."

Taliban will chop off hands of thieves as harsh punishments return
Brutal sanction 'is our law and it's Islamic law', says judges, as officials refuse to rule out a return of stoning and public executions
By Ben Farmer Kabul 7 September 2021 • 5:00pm

Taliban courts will resurrect harsh physical punishments, including chopping off the hands of convicted thieves, The Telegraph has been told.
Judges and officials said the punishments, which became notorious under the Taliban's 1990s emirate, were a necessary part of Islamic law and would be revived now they had taken over the country.
Officials did not comment on whether other punishments – including public executions and stonings – would be revived.
Zabiullah Mujahid, the Taliban's chief spokesman, said the courts would reopen once the Taliban had announced a new government. He told The Telegraph that the cutting off of hands would be among punishments on offer to courts.
"Under the rule of Islamic law there will be some process. It won't be just for any case. The courts will decide," he said. Similar amputations have occasionally been meted out in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Somalia.
Last month, a Taliban spokesman was unable to rule out a return of stoning and public executions. "I can't say right now, that's up to the judges in the courts and the laws," Suhail Shaheen told the BBC. "The judges will be appointed according to the law of the future government."
Promise of justice won public over
The Taliban's promises to bring justice in a country riddled with government corruption was one of its most potent rallying cries during its long insurgency. The militants used religious scholars to run an extensive network of shadow courts where people could settle disputes without the long delays and hefty bribes needed to navigate the formal legal system.
These shadow judges are now taking positions in the legal sector, joining a legal bureaucracy that international donors, including Britain, spent millions trying to reform.
One Taliban judge called Faiz Mohammad said he had been working in shadow courts in Kabul province for 10 to 15 years. He now oversees a lower court in the Kabul neighbourhood of Macroyan known for its Soviet era housing blocks.
"This is an Islamic emirate and all the rules will be from Islamic Law," he said.
"Yes," he said, "the cutting off of thieves' hands will be implemented. It was implemented 1,400 years ago during the time of the Prophet Muhammad, and when we were in power before 2001. It's our law and it's an Islamic law and it will be implemented in the future if it is proved that someone is a thief."
He said he had presided over shadow courts in districts including Surobi, east of Kabul.
"Lots of people came to us and said there was no justice in the government. Sometimes they travelled for days. It was dangerous work because the Americans were always looking for us, but we did it to get justice for the people."
A Human Rights Watch study of the Taliban shadow justice system found that it was hearing thousands of cases per month, many of them land disputes, and even had an appeal court over the border in Pakistan's Balochistan province.
"The Taliban justice system is focused on punishment and largely relies on confessions, often obtained by beatings and other forms of torture," the study said. "The swift administration of punishment for major crimes is a way for the Taliban to demonstrate its control and instil fear. Authorities sometimes execute those found guilty of murder within days."

French capital to get makeover following 'Paris is ugly' campaign


After earning a fortune by founding PayPal, how did you end up creating businesses in three separate areas—electric cars, space exploration, and solar power—all at the same time?
My three big interests have remained consistent since college. I always wanted to be involved with something that could have a significant positive effect on the future of humanity. For me, the three relevant areas were the Internet, sustainable energy, and space exploration. My theory was to apply the majority of my effort to the space arena, because there is not a natural economic forcing function that will lead to space exploration. For energy, you do have a gradual increase in the price of oil and changes in the supply curve, which will force innovation. And there is a growing worldwide sentiment that maybe we shouldn't pump the atmosphere full of CO2.
I knew it would be difficult to be CEO of three companies, so I brought on partners for Tesla [cars] and SolarCity [power]. In the case of SolarCity, that worked out really well. It has required very little time from me, apart from strategic guidance, and they have now become the largest provider of solar power in the country. Peter and Lyndon Rive, the co-founders, deserve great credit for this.
In the case of Tesla, the initial partners I chose to help build and run the organization were not able to overcome the difficult challenges of creating a car company. Especially when the economy went into recession, I had to choose to either let Tesla die or run it personally and invest all of my remaining personal capital in the company. At considerable personal sacrifice, I decided to do the latter. It is a great hardship to run two companies at once—and harder with their headquarters separated by 400 miles and in the middle of the worst recession since the Great Depression.
In June, right around the time Tesla Motors went public, your Falcon 9 vehicle achieved Earth orbit. The risks of space exploration seem on a different scale than your other enterprises. How did you assess those risks?
Yes, the risk in starting a space company is extremely high. Before SpaceX, no private company had ever reached orbit with a liquid-fueled rocket. Nonetheless, I knew that unless a new company entered the rocket-launch field and applied breakthrough innovation, humanity would never become multi-planetary. There is a big difference between getting to space and getting to orbit, where things get up and stay up. We did that only on the fourth attempt with our Falcon 1 rocket. It was definitely a nervous time trying to do an orbital flight of Falcon 9. Had we really learned from our mistakes? Would we get it right this time, with a vehicle so much larger? The Falcon 1 was comparable to a Gulfstream 5—but if the Falcon 9 were an aircraft, it would be a 747-class airplane. It has four times the thrust of a 747 and can lift a decent-size office building off its foundations. Everything worked on the first shot with the Falcon 9. So it appears that we learned our lessons.
Americans like to celebrate our culture as unusually "innovative" and to think that we have a long-term advantage in this regard over other societies, including China. Is that belief justified?
I think it is. Which is not to suggest complacency. We need to be vigilant that we have the right environment—and that we are attracting the best people from around the world.
Do you believe that innovators are born, or made? Do you take risks because of your basic outlook, or because of experiences and instruction?
I think it is some combination of the two. If I had been born in some cave, I suppose I would still try to be innovative, but there would be limits. You have to have the environment that encourages innovation as well. Let's say I had been constrained to live in South Africa, where I was born. I would not have been able to achieve a fraction of what I have here.
The environment in the U.S. is supportive of big ideas and striving to better yourself. In a lot of countries, to attempt to exceed your station is frowned on. In France, polls always show that to have inherited your money is considered more admirable than to have earned it. That is terrible! In the United States, earning it is celebrated, which is better.

Breeze Relocation now expanding its network to Lyon and Chambéry!
Until now, Breeze has concentrated its relocation business to Grenoble and its surrounding areas exclusively. But today, thanks to our growing network we have been able to expand our services to the neighbouring cities of Lyon and Chambéry. We are so excited about these new opportunities, that we decided to dedicate our next blog on these 3 cities we are so proud to live and work in.
The famous 'Eggs' of Grenoble that take you from the city to the top of the Bastille fortress
Grenoble is nestled at the foot of the French Alps, and is known today as the Capital of the Alps. It is a thriving city with 4 universities that welcomes over 50,000 students each year. It is a world leader in scientific research in nanotechnologies, computer science and physics, with over 20,000 people related to its research activities. It also produces over 450 patents per year. The ESRF, the European Synchrotron, is an international research facility supported by 22 countries, based in Grenoble. Thanks to high-level, innovative engineering and cutting-edge vision, the ESRF is recognized as a global leader in its field, welcoming more than 7.000 scientists every year, from all over the world
The world famous European Synchroton of Grenoble
It is nestled between 2 rivers, the Isère to the north, and the Drac to the west and is very flat which is why so many locals choose to get around on their bikes. Grenoble also has a very convenient public transportation system which is mainly the tram or the bus.
Grenoble is surrounded by the Isère and the Drac rivers
It hosted the winter Olympics in 1968. Today it is still known as a sporty city as most residents enjoy the hikes that are available all around us in the mountains, and also the skiing throughout the winter. It can be less than an hour drive to the ski resorts where you can even ski in the summer on the glaciers in certain places.
Skiing can be just an hour away from Grenoble
It has many tourist attractions the most popular being the Bastille fort, for which you can use the famous 'eggs' or téléphérique to transport you to the top. Many people like to walk up to the Bastille which has an elevation of 300 m and then enjoy the amazing views that this place offers. Grenoble also has the 'Musée de Grenoble' which houses some of the greatest artist's work such as Andy Warhol, Kandinsky, Matisse, Picasso, and Joan Miro.
Lyon is the 2nd largest city in France with a population of over 500,000. It's history spans over 2000 years and was once the capital of Gaul, and one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire. It's historic centre - Le Vieux Lyon, which dates from the Medieval and Renaissance eras, is now a Unesco World Heritage site.
It is situated between the rivers Rhône and Saône and in-between the wine countries of Burgundy and the Beaujolais to the North, and the Côtes de Rhône to the south. Because of this it offers many excellent local wines that are world famous.
La Confluence is where the rivers Saône and Rhône merge together
It is also renowned for its culinary excellence and is hailed as the the Gourmet Capital and boasts several world class Michelin starred chefs and restaurants. Typical Lyonnais restaurants are known as Bouchon Lyonnais. They serve the traditional Lyonnais food, that is centered around meats and although very tasty, can also be quite fatty. Mind those calories!
A typical Bouchon restaurant in Lyon
It has always been a very prosperous and wealthy city, and one of its main industries in the past was silk weaving. Many of its silks were used in the court of Versailles before the French Revolution in 1789.
Silk is still manufactured today, but at a much smaller scale.
It has excellent transports links such as the High Speed Train - Le TGV which gets you to Paris in 2 hours. It also has a big international airport with flights to over 100 cities.
The beautiful town of Chambery
Chambéry is situated in the East of France and is 60 kms north of Grenoble and 100 kms East of Lyon. It is in a large flat valley, surrounded by the Massif des Bauges and next to the Lac du Bourget which is the largest natural lake in France.
The Lac du Bourget, also know as The Lac d'Aix-Les-Bains
It is also at the entrance of the French Alps and is in easy reach of some of the best ski resorts in the Alps - Val Thorens, Courchevel, and Chamrousse. It is the capital of the Savoie Department, and gets its name from the Count of Savoy who used Chambéry as his seat of power.
Chamrousse ski resort
It's population stands at around 60,000 including 11,000 students, which keeps the city young and vibrant. It has great train connections with a direct service from Chambéry to Paris. It also has a small airport which is open during the winter months to accommodate tourists arriving for skiing and other winter sports.
INSEEC Chambery - An international Business School
One of Chambéry's most popular tourist attractions is the Fountain of the Elephants. It was erected in 1838 in tribute to General Comte de Boigne (1751-1830) and his military campaigns, including one to India from which he returned immensely rich.

A momma cat (grey tabby-Madonna) and litter of 7 kittens were left in a box at Southwood Animal Hospital on 10-1-13. A note was enclosed reading "I couldn't take them to the shelter. Please help them." Momma was healthy but several of her kittens had SERIOUS eye infections. Southwood kept 3 of the healthier kittens. Madonna and the kittens with more serious eye problems were transferred to Northwood for 24 hour care. The kittens have all found homes, so now it is Madonna's turn. She is spayed, microchipped and current on vaccines.
