Біографія
Народився 11 грудня 1914 в селі Хотімля, нині Вовчанський район Харківської області в селянській родині. Українець. Закінчив 8 класів. Працював слюсарем-складальником.

У Червоній Армії з червня, і на фронті з 20 серпня 1941 року.

22 липня 1943, розвідник взводу пішої розвідки 1340-го стрілецького полку 234-ї стрілецької дивізії, червоноармієць Шевченко діючи в складі групи розвідки по захопленню полоненого в селищі Афанасьєво Пречистинського району (Смоленська область), зараз Духовщинський район (Смоленська область) увірвався в траншею противника і в рукопашному бою знищив двох німецьких солдат, чим забезпечив захоплення контрольного полоненого і доставку його в штаб полку.

Наказом по 234-й стрілецькій дивізії (2-го формування) № 0108 від 26.07.1943 року нагороджений орденом Червоної Зірки.

1 серпня 1943 був поранений.

30 серпня 1943 діючи в складі розвідгрупи по захопленню контрольного полоненого в районі висоти 257,5, Пречистинського району (Смоленська область), перший увірвався в траншеї противника закидав їх гранатами і захопив в полон німецького солдата, потім за допомогою розвідника Дівайко витягнув його з траншеї і доставив на командний пункт командира батальйону.

Dates of Project: January 2012 to November 2012.
Problem Synopsis: Little is known in the United States about social impact bonds (SIBs), which are relatively complicated and expensive instruments for bringing evidence-based social programs to scale. They require an effective partnering by government, service providers, coordinating intermediaries, and socially conscious investors.
Although a number of SIB projects are gearing up in the United States, the only tests of the concept in progress are in the United Kingdom. In an era when government, service providers, and socially conscious investors are all looking for creative ways to finance efficient and effective social programs, SIBs seem worth investigating.
Synopsis of the Work: A research team at McKinsey & Co. studied the potential of social impact bonds in the United States, in particular for financing the expansion of proven programs in homelessness and crime prevention. The team also created tools for stakeholders—investors, nonprofits, government agencies, and others—to help them determine whether SIBs are instruments they should consider, and apply due diligence in moving toward their application.
Because they involve a diverse set of participants, including coordinating intermediaries and assessors, SIBs are relatively complex and expensive instruments for bringing social programs to scale.
SIBs offer great potential as useful instruments of social program financing, especially to government entities constrained fiscally, or by "legacy" programs of remediation.
Specific conditions—characterizing the social program in question, service provider, coordinating intermediary, and evaluators—can dictate whether SIB funding is an appropriate option.
In the United States, homelessness and prisoner recidivism appear likely candidates for deploying SIB to finance the expansion of small-scale but proven prevention programs.
"SIBs can promote efficiency and accountability in social programs by requiring oversight and proven results."
SIBs can provide a financial structure to enable a "handoff" between private funders and government to bring evidence-based interventions to more people.
#SocialImpactBonds: What are they, how do they work, what are the risks? McKinsey report tells all.

Pi Mu Epsilon, an honorary mathematics fraternity, has a local chapter at Andrews University, chartered in 1970 and called the Michigan Gamma chapter because it was the third chapter to be chartered in Michigan.
The national meeting of Pi Mu Epsilon occurs once a year, usually the first week in August; there students present papers about their research projects. Some years ago, Michele Pezet, who was then an Andrews student, presented a paper at the annual meeting and won a $100 prize. If a person from one of the local chapters, such as the Andrews chapter, wishes to present a paper at a national meeting, Pi Mu Epsilon will pay up to $600 of travel expenses to that meeting. If a person wants to attend the meeting without presenting a paper, Pi Mu Epsilon will pay half of one person's travel expenses, up to a maximum of $300.
The fact that someone is a member of Pi Mu Epsilon is listed in the Commencement program booklet when the student graduates. Membership in Pi Mu Epsilon is also a great addition to a resume.
1) Be an undergraduate student with four semesters of college mathematics including calculus, with at least a B average in mathematics courses. The student must also be in the top half of the class in overall GPA.
2) Be a sophomore who is majoring or intends to major in mathematics, who has completed three semesters of mathematics including two semesters of calculus with a straight-A record in all mathematics courses taken. The student must also be in the top quarter of the class in overall GPA.
To join costs $20, and membership is by invitation only. Members receive a certificate of membership, a set of PME honors cords to wear at graduation, and a one-year subscription (two issues) to the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal, which contains articles on mathematical topics generally understandable to undergraduates. Students who wish to continue their subscription beyond the year may renew at that time for $20 for two years.

Cricket Australia's treatment of an employee is a warning to us all
Jenna Price
Columnist and academic at the University of Technology Sydney
July 30, 2018 — 4.47pm
Cricket Australia, home to cheating and ball-tampering, sacked an employee for tweeting about access to abortion in Tasmania.
Now it finds itself before the Fair Work Commission in a case which will absolutely test employment law, social media and other organisational policies; and my patience with the peak body of a sport I love.
While we wait for CA to be whacked all over the park for what I hope will be a large sum of money, it's now the time for us to consider what we should do to push back against employers looking for ways to monitor us, to increase surveillance, to discipline and punish.
It's also a time for us all to ensure that we have the highest boundaries we can possibly have between our working lives and our private lives. Employers will soon discover that hurts them far more than it hurts us. This insidious intrusion of companies into the private lives of their employees must stop.

Briefly, Angela Williamson, 39, a mother-of-three, tweeted about access to abortion in Tasmania, shortly after the island state's only abortion provider closed. She was forced to travel to Melbourne for an abortion in February.
In Samantha Maiden's extraordinary story, Williamson says she first tweeted for abortion rights in January 2018, she was then cybertrolled by a Liberal government staffer who sent a FYI screenshot to Cricket Australia. That staffer resigned after revelations she was targeting government critics from a fake account.
When Williamson then criticised the state government, on Twitter, as irresponsible, gutless and reckless for not passing legislation to provide access to abortion in public hospitals, Cricket Tasmania alerted Williamson to concerns about her tweets. She offered to delete them. A few days later, she was sacked.
She did not tweet about her job. Her Twitter account only said she was a cricket advocate. Cricket Australia is not a health provider and the idea that there is any intersection between Williamson's personal decision to lobby for abortion access and the interests of the professional cricketing community is utterly laughable, except to suggest that women play and watch cricket and women support reproductive rights.
As Professor of labour law at the University of Sydney Shae McCrystal, puts it, "I don't think that in a functioning democracy, you should be prevented from expressing your views in a public forum. I remain hopeful that she will be vindicated through the unfair dismissal process."
But McCrystal fears this is a sign of what is to come from employers who seek to discipline and punish their employees.

How employers try to draw the line between public and private is crucial for us all. McCrystal says we are dependent on the Fair Work Commission and the courts to ensure our private lives and our right to a political voice is protected against the unjustified reach of employer social media policies into our lives.
Williamson was not a public servant, not even close. The relationship between Cricket Tasmania and the Tasmanian government is opaque. But it's part of a growing trend for employers to silence their workers.
Williamson's lawyer, Maurice Blackburn's Kamal Farouque, says there is a creeping encroachment of employer regulation into people's private lives.
"Employers are now trying to extend that to expression of political opinion and into consensual personal relationships. The attempt to regulate that is a real intrusion into people's personal lives when people should and do have private lives . . . employers are violating that space."
Here's how they do it. The social media policy which says an employee may not bring her employer into disrepute. An organisational policy which says employees must always be loyal – at least in public. Which might all be fair enough until the employer starts expanding the definition of what loyalty is, what disrepute might be.
I'd argue Cricket Australia itself generates enough disrepute without any assistance at all – and much of that comes from those with a high profile, not a manager of public policy and government relations.
Over the past eight months, Cricket Australia has tried to undermine the employment conditions of its employees and then oversaw the embarrassment of ball-tampering and the suspension of its leadership team. That behaviour flushes scarlet in comparison to a low level employee tweeting about abortion access. I'm also pretty sure that in Tasmania at least, political expression is a protected attribute under the Fair Work Act because of the state's antidiscrimination laws.
Another University of Sydney professor of law, Barbara McDonald, warns us about increasing censorship by our employers.
"This is about freedom of expression, whether or not employers can police freedom of expression on matters which may have nothing to do with their employment.
"In effect, they are censoring you."
Big Employer is always watching. We must stare them down.

August 8, 2016 — Konica Minolta announced the release of its newest X-ray digital radiography (DR) system at the 2016 Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) annual meeting, July 31-Aug. 3 in Nashville. Combining a built-from-the-ground-up design along with the fast and advanced Ultra image processing software, the company said the system (name not yet revealed) offers unprecedented workflow, clinical, patient convenience and satisfaction benefits.
The DR U-Arm system is a floor-mounted system that provides numerous benefits including faster exams, smoother positioning and improved stitching processes for advanced studies. The Ultra software uses a full console screen right at the point of patient contact for accepting or rejecting images so the technologist can remain with the patient without returning to the workstation. With the ability to view results at the tube stand, X-ray exams are quicker and more comfortable for patients, and enable increased throughput for the facility.
In addition to the speed and efficiency benefits for the technologist and patient, the new weight-bearing stand that sits only 10 inches from the floor provides benefits as well. The low step-up height creates an easy-to-use imaging environment for patients challenged by mobility, be it athletes, diabetics or obese patients. The low-to-the-ground design also brings benefits for those in wheelchairs — who can remain seated in their wheelchair for image acquisition — and for pediatric populations who are often calmer and more comfortable when they are lower.
Contributing further to patient comfort is the hardware design of the U-Arm, which enables AP and oblique imaging and then lateral positioning with one push of a button, allowing the patient to stay on the stand for the whole exam.
The U-Arm also creates a level of efficiency that changes the way imaging patients flow through the health system, according to Konica Minolta. While hospitals are struggling to keep medical imaging exams within their walls, the company said it offers a technology that is versatile enough to serve patients not only in radiology but from urgent care to specialty areas like orthopedics, pediatrics and rheumatology. And with an aesthetic design that is compact, the system will fit in older facilities challenged with low, 8-foot ceilings.
Konica Minolta rounded out its exhibit at AHRA by also highlighting its Exa software platform for enhanced image sharing, viewing and storage, along with its hand-carried ultrasound system, the SonImage HS1.
Exa PACS – A Web-based platform that the company says was the first picture archiving and communication system (PACS) to enable zero footprint full-featured diagnostic viewing, Exa works on any consumer-grade PC with any operating system without plug-ins or installations. It boasts a configurable dashboard and custom workflow design, as well as advanced dictation and viewing tools.
Exa Mammo Viewer – Available either as a standalone mammography viewer or as part of the Exa PACS platform, Exa Mammo leverages the benefits of the existing Exa platform to enable anywhere viewing for all breast imaging modalities including 2-D or 3-D mammography studies and digital breast tomosynthesis. With the benefit of server-side rendering, radiologists have fast access with a seamless DICOM-compliant PACS to breast images at any time from any location.
SonImage HS1 – A hand-carried ultrasound system featuring a compact design that is particularly well-suited for musculoskeletal exams.


Kairos Dancing Heart™ Featured in New PBS Documentary, Arts & the Mind - Kairos Alive!
Hosted by Lisa Kudrow, the two-part Arts and the Mind special reveals the crucial impact of the arts on the human brain across our lifetimes and explores its particularly vital role in human development during youth and older age. The series shares stories of how music, dance, painting, poetry and theater markedly improve well-being at both ends of life, and reveals the cutting-edge science that explains the powerful, positive impact of the arts on our brains. Showcasing some of the nation's most innovative and successful arts programs plus the work of leading American educators and scientists, Arts & The Mind illuminates: how the arts can improve children's school performance, and keep our brains agile and sharp into old age; how teenagers find meaning and hope through poetry at a renowned Los Angeles program supported by actor Tim Robbins; how the arts help heal children in hospitals and older veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder; why one of America's leading Alzheimer's researchers advises that dance is the single most effective way to ward off dementia; and how the KAIROS dancing heartTM program, based in the Twin Cities, provides stimulation, inspiration and health benefits to those in nursing homes, adult day programs, community centers and other settings.
The KAIROS dancing heartTM, founded and developed by Maria Genné and KAIROS ALIVE!, is an immersive participatory performing arts and leadership development program that has significant health and quality-of-life benefits, and promotes cost-of-care savings, as well as positively changing the cultures of sponsoring organizations. It engages older adults in intergenerational settings as sources of wisdom and artistic excellence, and as positive social catalysts to create healthy, vital communities. The program is an intergenerational dance, story, theatre, music, poetry and song experience, based in the latest body/mind research that includes education in a unique form of community based artistic leadership. Specially trained professional artists lead all sessions.
Alzheimer's disease researcher Dr. Peter Davies, from the Litwin-Zucker Research Center in Long Island, NY, is quoted in Arts and the Mind as saying, "Participating in an ongoing dance program reduces the rate of developing Alzheimer's by 75%." Genné and KAIROS dancing heartTM are pioneers in working with "memory care" patients and have come to similar conclusions about the importance of dance, story and theater participation to effect health benefits.
A 36-week research study conducted by Catherine Sullivan, PhD, OTR/L and others at Saint Catherine University, found that older adult participants in weekly KAIROS dancing heartTM workshops experienced a significant impact on their health; physical health, cognitive health and psychosocial health. Quantitative measurements indicated improvements in balance scores, and stability in memory and depression scores.
• And, improved communication and enhanced feeling of community among residents and staff.
Further research on the KAIROS dancing heartTM program, conducted by Saint Catherine University, will be presented at the upcoming American Public Health Association Annual Meeting in San Francisco in October.
Also included in the documentary is a second story about KAIROS danceTM, including members of the intergenerational company, ages 1-93, and longtime collaborator and beloved Twin Cities jazz tenor saxophonist Irv Williams. The program incorporates performance vignettes with Williams and colleagues with modern dancers of Kairos Dance shot at the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis. Williams, who settled in the Twin Cities in 1942, has worked in bands fronted by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Fletcher Henderson, Mary Lou Williams and Billy Eckstine. His warm, soulful tone and mastery of the jazz ballad earned him the moniker from former Pioneer Press music critic Bob Protzman of "Mr. Smooth." His 2004 CD "That's All?" was named one of the top 20 CDs of the year by the Star Tribune. At 93, he continues to play a weekly gig at the Dakota and to collaborate with KAIROS danceTM.

Q: CAST (CASE WHEN Id IS IN ( SELECT RefId FROM RefTable WHERE RefId =someId)THEN 0 ELSE 1 END AS bit Hi i have a problem with my procedure
Stored-Procedure:
SELECT dbo.Table1.*,
       CAST (CASE WHEN Table1.Id IS IN ( SELECT Id
                                         FROM dbo.Table2
                                         WHERE RefRolleId =@Id)

ERROR:
wrong syntax near to IN-Keyword
wrong syntax near to THEN-Keyword
i googled around but i doesn't found an example for an Case with an IN operator
could somebody please enlight me whats wrong
Any advice is greatly appreciated

A: just remove IS and it will work (this is just to answer your question directly and nothing else (eg performance improvement))
SELECT dbo.Table1.*,
       CAST (CASE WHEN Table1.Id  IN ( SELECT Id
                                         FROM dbo.Table2
                                         WHERE RefRolleId =@Id)
              THEN 0 ELSE 1 END AS bit) AS selected
FROM   dbo.Table1

A: @JW is correct, but I would suggest changing your query, something like:
SELECT DISTINCT T.*,
       CAST (CASE
                WHEN T2.Id IS NOT NULL
                THEN 0
                ELSE 1
             END AS bit) AS selected
FROM   dbo.Table1 T
   LEFT JOIN dbo.Table2 T2 ON T.Id = T2.Id AND T2.RefRolleId =@Id

I think this might yield a better performance.
Good luck.

The cold shoulder. A heavy topic. A heroic white knight. We regularly use concrete, sensory-rich metaphors like these to express abstract ideas and complicated emotions. But a growing body of research is suggesting that these metaphors are more than just colorful literary devices — there may be an underlying neural basis that literally embodies these metaphors. Psychological scientists are giving us more insight into embodied cognition — the notion that the brain circuits responsible for abstract thinking are closely tied to those circuits that analyze and process sensory experiences— and its role in how we think and feel about our world.

The History of Dragon Eyewear
In 1993 Will Hansen founded Dragon in Capo Beach, CA, with the intention of becoming a leader in the action sport market. Initially the company focused on sunglasses, but once the exceptional quality and durability of its product caught on, Dragon soon expanded its brand and offerings. As an active surfer, snowboarder, and dirt bike aficionado, Hansen set out to design a product that would hold up to his rugged lifestyle. Because of his own passion for active sports, professional athletes were, and remain, a huge focus of the company. In the beginning, the company sold its sunglasses through local surf shops, but quickly expanded to markets in Hawaii and Florida. While sunglasses remain one of the primary products offered, Dragon now includes eyeglasses for men. Not content to offer the status quo, it continues to push the boundaries of innovation, always looking for new ways to expand its eyewear offerings. The company remains true to its original vision of providing exceptional quality for those who lead an active life.

Open thread: decolonization in Canada
in History, Law, Politics
Supposedly, Canada is in the midst of a national effort at moving toward reconciliation after centuries of exploiting and oppressing its Indigenous populations. Signs include efforts to protect and investigate crimes against Indigenous women and girls; the renaming of buildings and monuments to people who played a role in Canada's troubling past; and supposedly efforts to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) – though here, as in so many other areas, there is good cause to question the sincerity of the Trudeau government.
Of course, there has been resistance from white supremacists and others.
It's encouraging to see Halifax taking down Cornwallis monuments (put a bounty on the Mi'kmaq in 1749) and the Langevin block in Ottawa renamed (helped set up Canada's genocidal residential schools). I would like to see everything named after Columbus renamed, though ultimately renaming is a small and symbolic part of what decolonization will need to include.
In the long term, Canada needs to recognize that its sovereignty has always been illegitimate – based on coerced treaties that Canada has routinely violated or the naked use of force. The path toward reconciliation can't be seen from beginning to end in advance, but some of the actions we ought to be taking seem pretty clear, starting with providing services in Indigenous communities comparable to those in the rest of Canada, helping Indigenous peoples built toward self-government, and no longer imposing economic and resource projects on them despite their political and legal opposition.

The collective of B.C. First Nations who defended their claims at the Federal Court are the same ones who tried for a very long time to get government to meaningfully consult with them. First Nations don't want to spend millions on litigation when those funds could be spent on nation-building. At a time when the government should have been acting in the best interests of Canadians, First Nations, killer whales and our entire ecosystem, they focused exclusively on corporate interests and their own political agendas. Federal and provincial governments should be celebrating that the appellate court upheld Canada's constitution and the Aboriginal rights protected within section 35. Instead, it seems they are trying to figure out how all of this impacts them personally and politically. What does this mean for the next federal election? Is this a sign that Trudeau can't deliver? Is this good for the Conservatives? What about Alberta's NDP? Is this the death knell of their time in office?
These are all ridiculously self-centered and irresponsible considerations. The B.C. First Nations who defended their rights did more to stand up for Canadians and our environment than Canada's own Prime Minister. Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples seems to be okay so long as it is limited to tearful apologies, a national day of recognition or a few name changes on government buildings. But when reconciliation requires governments respect constitutionally-protected Aboriginal rights—then all systems launch into panic mode. Commentators have referred to the requirement for meaningful consultation where Aboriginal rights are concerned as "holding the government hostage"—very negative and alarmist language implying catastrophe if immediate action isn't taken. A bit dramatic considering the atrocities committed against First Nations and the ongoing violation of their basic human rights, let alone their specific Aboriginal rights.
Prime Minister Trudeau campaigned on a promise of renewed relations with First Nations and in particular, a relationship based on the respect for Aboriginal rights. He promised to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) which is the international standard that requires free, prior and informed consent of Indigenous peoples for any development on their lands. He also promised to conduct a complete review of federal laws to ensure they were section 35 compliant. Had he actually done what he promised, none of us would be talking about this case today. Had he lived up to his promise that he would respect the First Nations right to say no to development on our lands—we wouldn't have needed this court case.

The Trudeau government didn't think it was cutting corners when it last consulted First Nations on Trans Mountain in 2016. After judges overturned the Harper government's approval for the now-cancelled Northern Gateway pipeline because of a rushed and inadequate process, the Liberals insisted their Trans Mountain dialogues would allow for more time and thoroughness. But quantity is no replacement for quality, the Federal Court of Appeal ruled in its latest rebuke—not when Ottawa showed no willingness to accommodate Indigenous misgivings. This time, the government aims for bigger and better consultations. It will double the capacity of its consultation teams, Sohi says. "Be assured that our teams will have the mandate to offer accommodations where accommodations are possible."

STATEMENT FROM THE HONOURABLE JODY WILSON-RAYBOULD, MINISTER OF VETERANS AFFAIRS AND ASSOCIATE MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENCE, AND MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR VANCOUVER GRANVILLE
With respect to Indigenous issues, as MOJAG, I have publicly expressed my opinions in various venues about the ongoing challenges in transforming what the Prime Minister has stated is the "most important" relationship, that between Canada and Indigenous peoples. One of my main motivations for seeking public office was to see the work of reconciliation accelerate and advance in real and tangible ways.
The work that must be done is well known. We have the solutions. Indigenous peoples have advocated and brought forward what must be done for decades. Countless Commissions, studies, reports, and analyses have reiterated the work we must do together to reconcile.
The foundation for moving forward is understanding that the dire social and economic realities that Indigenous peoples continue to face – including lack of clean drinking water, over representation in the criminal justice system, inadequate housing, high rates of poverty, and violence against Indigenous women and girls – are directly linked to legislative and policy regimes that have disempowered and divided Indigenous peoples, eroded their systems of governance, laws, and responsibilities, harmed their economies, and denied their basic rights and systems. Long overdue legislative and policy changes based on the recognition of title and rights, including historic treaties, are urgently needed, so that Indigenous peoples can accelerate and lead the work of re-building their Nations and governments, and a new climate of co-operative relations can emerge.
While our government has taken some very important steps, and hard work is being done, the necessary shifts have not yet been fully achieved. Rather, a number of the proposals that our government has been pursuing so far require substantial work in co-operation and collaboration with Indigenous peoples to reset the new foundations for this most important relationship.

Conflicted and worried: CBC News poll takes snapshot of Canadians ahead of fall election
Poll finds high levels of anxiety – and a low level of confidence in politicians – ahead of fall election
The poll finds that Canadians are concerned about the future for themselves and their families, with 72 per cent saying they are worried or somewhat worried. Just six per cent report feeling optimistic, while 22 per cent are somewhat optimistic.
Asked what was worrying them most, 32 per cent of all respondents said it was the cost of living — a concern that was highest in British Columbia and among those between the ages of 25 and 44.
An overwhelming 83 per cent who said they were concerned about the cost of living pointed to the cost of basics, like groceries, electricity or gas, while just over half said they were worried about the cost of housing or whether they would have enough to retire.
Second on the list of concerns was climate change, at 19 per cent. Anxiety about climate change was highest in Atlantic Canada, B.C. and Quebec, and among more educated and younger respondents.
The poll found significant disillusionment among Indigenous Canadians, with 86 per cent saying that the country needs to do more for them (59 per cent agreed strongly). That was significantly higher than the 69 per cent of Canadians overall who believe the country should be doing more for Indigenous Canadians.
There was a similar degree of difference in dissatisfaction with the track record of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While 52 per cent of Canadians said that Trudeau was doing not very well, or not well at all, at improving the welfare and conditions of Indigenous Canadians, that increased to 69 per cent among Indigenous respondents themselves.

Research could help veterans transition to civilian life
A UTSA management professor and his students have partnered with a Marine Corps combat veteran to shed light on the need for new veterans programs in the post-9/11 world, especially those that create a strong sense of community for vets.
Bruce Stanfill, an associate professor in the UTSA Carlos Alvarez College of Business' Department of Management, met Chris Hoffmann, a Marine Corps combat veteran and founder of the Ambitious VET Network, and knew immediately that there was an opportunity for his students to have a bold impact on a significant, real-world problem while gaining valuable career experience.
Together, Stanfill and Hoffman sketched a study framework to examine where and how veterans transitioning from military service to civilian life were thriving, threading water or struggling. What the researchers found was a strong link between community support and a fulfilling life after military service.
"Humans are social creatures. Regardless of systemic support programs, when we don't have social support, we are really missing something important," Stanfill said.
Hoffman and The Ambitious VET Network published the findings in the white paper, Project Introducing a New Generation of Military Veterans to the Marketplace.
Hoffmann stated that veterans lacking a purpose and meaning in their lives experience difficulty at the three-year point, when most job support services end. He believes that there are common causes of why some veterans struggle in their search for life satisfaction, but he needed help analyzing the complex data he had collected through interviews.
Using principles of data analytics applied to Hoffman's qualitative data set, Stanfill, who is a former Navy officer, and graduate students from his Organizational Behavior and Management course were able to help with Hoffman's research. An added benefit for the students was the hands-on learning experience in dealing with uncertainty and change in group projects as they select, plan and execute. The students worked in concert with veterans, others with military connections and nonprofit organizations, to analyze this real-world problem.
"This Ambitious VET project provided UTSA students with an invaluable opportunity for experiential learning while addressing the grand challenge of understanding and helping veterans with their transition into society after leaving the military," said Stanfill. "It also gave students a great learning opportunity in performing complex strategic analysis."
While most project teams are fully autonomous, Stanfill guided this team using Parmenides EIDOS, an innovative software for complex decision making, strategic reasoning and problem solving. In the first six-week phase of the project, the UTSA students used the software to identify and visually connect factors leading to success versus struggle, as described in more than 300 qualitative surveys.
In the second phase of the data analysis, the students linked the factors that influenced a veteran's decision making. The result identified four key scenarios related to veterans who continued to struggle in their post-military career.
The students found that veterans who struggled during their military career or felt indifferent toward their military experience did not have a positive transition to post-military life. Those without a personal support network struggled even more, feeling isolated or alone, which impacted their ability to find and/or hold onto a job.
On the other hand, the study demonstrated that veterans with good emotional support and above average emotional intelligence (being able to manage their feelings and understand the needs of others), generally provided fulfillment in life and a successful post-military career.
Retired Navy Lieutenant Commander and UTSA master's student Kim Dobrzyn participated in the project.
"As a recent Navy retiree with three combat deployments, I myself struggled to find employment in my field of specialty due to the disparity in skillsets required in the military versus what my counterparts in the civilian sector are focused on. Our research provided the mechanism that the Ambitious VET needed to prove and support their premise that veterans need more assistance than has traditionally been considered."
The findings of the research demonstrate that emotional intelligence and a strong social network plays a very important role in the transition from military to civilian life.

The third of a set of pieces based on Montale's poetry, in limine (Latin: at the threshold) particularly takes its impetus from the imperatives of the poem: Rejoice, Look, Advance, Find, Leap, Flee, Go. These active verbs are countered, however, both in the poem and the music, by the static, timeless quality of the reliquary, the coast, the wall; the summer heat of Montale's native Liguria.
Also at work is a deliberate distortion of musical proportions: sections at the beginning are compressed to an unusual degree, they rush through material to the point where musical ideas are only hinted at, creating an almost schizophrenic musical atmosphere. Later, sections and material are stretched beyond their means, to the point where the musical fabric almost tears or bulges into ungainly shapes; like your reflection mutated in a hall of mirrors.
The composition of in limine was made possible by the support of the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Board.

Mental Health Services director position still open after seven-month vacancy
Media Credit: Keren Carrion | Hatchet Photographer
Administrators are still searching for a director of Mental Health Services, a University spokesman said.
By Lillianna Byington Apr 27, 2016 11:19 PM
Seven months after the former director of Mental Health Services stepped down, officials say there are no updates on filling the position.
Officials are continuing their search for a new director of Mental Health Services on campus and has no updates on the progress, University spokesman Kurtis Hiatt said in an email this week. Experts in the field said a search lasting this long isn't common and could mean that officials are making structural changes to the program.
Hiatt declined to comment on who was conducting the search and when they plan to hire a new director.
The former director of Mental Health Services, Silvio Weisner, stepped down in September after officials discovered he was not a licensed psychologist or professional counselor in D.C. Five current and formal counselors filed formal complaints against Weisner for practicing unlicensed.
Officials said at the time of Weisner's departure that they would begin a national search for a permanent replacement, but there have been no updates on that search.
Louise Douce, who served as the director of the Ohio State University's counseling service for 23 years, said the process to hire a director typically takes two to four months. Douce said officials should be actively searching because there needs to be a permanent director to oversee all of the center's counselors and to identify systemic issues.
"They should be in an active search at this point because you really need to have a director on board well before the fall semester starts," Douce said.
There is currently no listing on GW's jobs website for the director position.
Gillian Berry is serving as the interim director of Mental Health Services. She was previously an associate director at the center.
"When a school has two or three directors that only last two or three years, then that is worth a consultation to look at what is the working environment," Douce said.
The director of the University Counseling Center before Weisner, John Dages, resigned in 2011 after former employees questioned his leadership. Barbara Brown, the associate director of the center, resigned two months later. Weisner was hired in 2012, almost a year after Dages stepped down.
Douce said when a search process takes this long, administrators could be considering structural changes to a center. She said the "basic elements" of a counseling center can function without a permanent director, but without a director, staff in the center cannot solve big picture problems.
"The oversight of policy and identifying problems and addressing problems and doing crisis intervention, those are the things that are probably scattered, and no one knows who is in charge of what," Douce said. "Those are the things that are at risk to be without a director as long as you have been."
Danielle Oakley, the director of mental health services at University of Wisconsin-Madison, said when she was hired, the process of applying, phone screening and on-campus interviews took about three months.
Oakley said a director has to be a leader who can advocate for the mental health needs for students on campus and can find a way to increase access for students to receive care. She added that it is important for a candidate to be a strong partner with other departments on campus to ensure faculty and staff throughout the university to prioritize mental health issues.
"My primary role is to communicate with the campus about mental health issues and to provide oversight for the services that are offered for students," Oakley said.

Best Foreign Film winner boycotts Oscars ceremony in Trump protest: watch and read acceptance speech
Asghar Farhadi won Best Foreign Film for 'The Salesman' but did not attend
By Luke Morgan Britton
Iranian director Asghar Farhadi hit out at Donald Trump's "inhumane" Muslim travel ban in the acceptance speech for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars.
Farhadi won the award for the movie The Salesman but didn't attend in a boycott against Trump's controversial policies.
In a speech read out on his behalf, Farhadi said: "It's a great honor to be receiving this valuable award for the second time. I would like to thank the members of the Academy, my crew in Iran, my producer Alexandre Mallet-Guy, Cohen Media, Amazon and my fellow nominees in the foreign film category. I'm sorry I'm not with you tonight. My absence is out of respect for the people of my country and those of other six nations whom have been disrespected by the inhumane law that bans entry of immigrants to the U.S. Dividing the world into the us and our enemies categories creates fear. A deceitful justification for aggression and war. These wars prevent democracy and human rights in countries which have themselves been victims of aggression. Filmmakers can turn their cameras to capture shared human qualities and break stereotypes of various nationalities and religions. They create empathy between us and others. An empathy which we need today more than ever."

Q: SSAS : Parent-Child Hierarchy Parent-Child Hierarchy
What's the best way to represent a Parent-Child hierarchy in the Cube? I've seen the Usage that can be applied as Parent.
I've applied this, for example,
ID    ParentID    CompanyName    Rank
1    1    AAA    Excellent
2    1    BBB    Good
3    1    CCC    Ok
4    1    DDD    None
I can link the ID and ParentID Usage appropriately by setting the ParentID to a Usage of Parent. I've also set the Parent Key, so that if the Company rolls up to itself, it doesn't show the Parent as its own child (NonLeafDataHidden).
When using only the CompanyName in the Cube Browser / Excel, this is working okay.
The problem occurs when trying to bring in other attributes, such as Rank.
Dragging the following into the Cube Browser:
- (Parent Company, Company...hierarchy), Rank - If the Rank is at the end of the table, Cube Browser doesn't show the Rank column at all, only the heading appears.
- Rank, (Parent Company, Company...hierarchy) - If the Rank is at the start of the table, Cube Browser displays correctly.
In Excel,
- (Parent Company, Company...hierarchy), Rank - If Rank is at the end of the table, Excel doesn't display the Rank of the Parent Company, but does display the Rank of the Child Companies on a second line. By displaying the Rank on a second line - any measures also get repeated:
AAA                      73                    - here for AAA the Rank is not showing. The measure is correct, 23 from the Child and 50 for the Parent
    BBB                 10          - repeated measures 10
    Good                10
    CCC                  8                    - repeated measures 8
    Ok                   8
    DDD                  5                    - repeated measures 5
    None                 5

*

*Rank, (Parent Company, Company...hierarchy) - If Rank is at the start of the table, Excel groups correctly and sums correctly. Although, the Parent Company will still appear in each of the Ranks, as it has children that are in that particular Rank, but the Measures will only be from the Children that are in that Rank.

What is the Best way to bring Attributes of a Parent-Child Hierarchy? From the issues I've seen above, I'm tempted to go a create a new Table (Parent Company) using Named Query and join to this directly with the ParentID - effectively Aliasing.

A: I've found a couple of things for the reasons why certain things are happening when including additional attributes to a P-C hierarchy:

*

*Note, I've set the Parent Key, so that if the Company rolls up to itself, it doesn't show the Parent as its own child

*Note, Row structure example is: P-C hierarchy, Rank, Measure

1) In Cube Browser, it depends at what stage in the hierarchy you include the additional attribute.
e.g. If the row structure only contains P-C hierarchy and Measure and then you continually expand the hierarchy until you see Total (ie lowest level of the hierarchy). Then by adding the Rank attribute at this stage, so that the Row structure becomes:  P-C hierarchy, Rank, Measure, the Rank attribute header appears, but no details appear in the Row. If you double-click the empty cell, you get the message : "Cannot drill into a total member".
If you don't expand the row structure completely, so only expand one level in the example I've provided above, then at this point add the Rank attribute - this will show the Rank attribute details.
So, this issue of not being able to see the Rank attribute in Cube Browswer, is resolved.
2) Now, comes the issue of not being able to see the Parent attributes, as the hierarchy is setup so that if the Company rolls up to itself, it doesn't show the Parent as its own child. E.g. Results in Cube Browser:
Parent ------- Child ------- Rank
AAA ---------- BBB ---------- Good
AAA ---------- CCC ---------- Ok
AAA ---------- DDD ---------- None
I would like to see that AAA is Ranked as Excellent, so the only way to get around this I guess is to show the Child where it is itself a Parent.
I guess this is resolved to show the following:
Parent -------- Child -------- Rank
AAA ----------- AAA ---------- Excellent
AAA ----------- BBB ---------- Good
AAA ----------- CCC ---------- Ok
AAA ----------- DDD ---------- None

*

*Note, following examples will now use the above approach.

3) Repeating Measures - how do we only show measures once? This is what is shown in Cube Browser, there's a Total after each Child Hierachy level, there's also the Measure details of the level - in this case it's the same, so it's repeated. Then finally, there's a GrandTotal. Again this issue of the Measure repeating is also seen in Excel. I would like only the Total / GrandTotal levels to be displayed - is this possible?
Parent ----------- Child ----------- Rank ----------- Measure
AAA --------------- AAA ------------ Excellent -------- 50
AAA --------------- AAA ------------ Total ------------ 50
AAA --------------- BBB ------------ Good ------------- 10
AAA --------------- BBB ------------ Total ------------ 10
AAA --------------- CCC ------------ Ok ---------------- 8
AAA --------------- CCC ------------ Total ------------- 8
AAA --------------- DDD ------------ None -------------- 5
AAA --------------- DDD ------------ Total ------------- 5
GrandTotal -------------------------------------------- 73
In Excel it comes through as the attributes on a separate line and the measures are still repeated, for each line:
Parent ----------- Child ----------- Rank ----------- Measure
AAA ------------------------------------------------- 73
AAA --------------- AAA ----------------------------- 50
AAA --------------- AAA ------------ Excellent ------ 50
AAA --------------- BBB ----------------------------- 10
AAA --------------- BBB ------------ Good ----------- 10
AAA --------------- CCC ------------------------------ 8
AAA --------------- CCC ------------ Ok -------------- 8
AAA --------------- DDD ------------------------------ 5
AAA --------------- DDD ------------ None ------------ 5
Is there a way to remove the repeating of the Measures?
thanks

Ein Fakultativwagen war ein Eisenbahnwagen, der durch Hinzufügen oder Entfernen einiger Teile für verschiedene Einsätze zu verwenden war. In einigen Fällen wurde der ganze Aufbau ausgetauscht.
Die Fakultativwagen (fakultativ = wahlweise) wurden ab 1880 von den deutschen Länderbahnen und von verschiedenen Schweizer Schmalspurbahnen vor allem im ländlichen Raum eingesetzt.

Üblich waren Wagen, die wahlweise als Personen-, Post- oder Güterwagen eingesetzt werden konnten. Als Personenwagen liefen die Fahrzeuge in der dritten oder, sofern (noch) angeboten, auch vierten Wagenklasse und besaßen in der Regel Einstiegsplattformen mit Stirntüren. Für den Einsatz als gedeckte Güterwagen konnten die im Inneren angebrachten Sitzreihen demontiert werden. Zusätzliche seitliche Schiebetüren ermöglichten die Be- und Entladung. Offene Güterwagen konnten in der warmen Jahreszeit zu Sommerwagen umgerüstet werden.

Bei den deutschen Staatsbahnen waren Fakultativwagen vor allem auf Betreiben des Militärs für den Truppentransport einfacher Soldaten beschafft worden. Aber schon im Ersten Weltkrieg verwendete man dafür häufig auch gewöhnliche Güterwagen.

Ansonsten waren Fakultativwagen vor allem bei Bahnen im Einsatz, die saisonale Verkehrsspitzen hatten, wie Bäderverkehr, Wallfahrten oder Volksfeste.

Nathan Adrian partakes in benefit for CDP COVID-19 Response Fund
By Markos Papadatos Mar 19, 2020 in Sports
Five-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Nathan Adrian is participating in a benefit to aid the CDP COVID-19 Response Fund.
Adrian revealed in a post on social media that he is donating a signed Speedo Racing Suit to Athletes for Relief as a way to help out in this challenging time. The proceeds benefit the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, Inc.
A world-class swimmer, Adrian is encouraging his fans and followers to donate for a chance to win the signed suit where all of the proceeds will go directly towards the CDP COVID-19 Response Fund. In doing so, Adrian inspired many of his fellow athletes to join in this benefit by donating their own memorabilia items in an effort to assist this cause. "#StrongerTogether," Adrian posted.
In 2019, Adrian participated in the inaugural International Swimming League (ISL), where he competed for the Los Angeles Current, with Lenny Krayzelburg as the team's General Manager.

On yet another glorious day 125 members and visitors were willing to forgo their gardening duties to attend our April meeting. 80 members renewed their subscriptions and I would like to thank committee members and volunteers for their hard work in the efficient collection of funds.
After last month's appeal, we have a volunteer for the post of Membership Secretary, but we still have a vacancy for a committee member.
Following our AGM in 2017, Peter Gibson will be relinquishing his position of Database Controller and Technical Officer so, we will need an experienced computer expert to take over these duties. It could take some time to understand the complexities of this post, so we are looking for a volunteer now.
Sarah Pennie made an appeal on behalf of the Friends of Centre Vale Park who are hoping to secure funding, from the Lottery, for improvements to the park. Regrettably repairs to the bandstand will not be part of this funding. Hopefully Sarah will return to update members on progress.
Jane Shepherd gave us a most amusing insight into her life. She developed polio at 5 months, yet hers is a tale of positivity. Staying awake at a breakfast meeting became her break into broadcasting. Jane has worked at the World Service, Radio 5, Woman's Hour and also television presenting. Her anecdotes, asides and self deprecating humour brought many laughs from members. Jane now attends many Benefit Tribunals and supports disabled people whenever possible.
Our next members' meeting will be 19 May at Central Methodist at 2.00pm when our speaker will be Gill Russell and her subject will be "Stranger in a Strange Land".
Your committee thank you for your attendance and look forward to meeting you next month.
Our Chairman, Keith Coates, is on holiday: this report compiled by Ernie Rogan, Vice Chairman.

AveshKhan 25 yrs
Born:Dec 13, 1996Indore, Madhya Pradesh
Right-arm fast-medium
vs UP
vs CG
vs GUJ
DOMESTIC T20
A tall, aggressive seam bowler, Avesh Khan is an upcoming prospect who is known for his seam movement and bounce generated. Hailing from Indore, Avesh started playing tennis ball cricket when he was 10 years old and started his cricketing journey at the Colts Cricket Club in Indore.
One of the talismans during the U-19 World Cup in 2014 and 2016, the 24-year old pacer picked the most number of wickets for India (12) at an impressive average of 15.08. His notable returns in first-class cricket have made him a regular feature in the India 'A' sides. At the age of 21, he got the first opportunity to represent India as a net bowler for their Test Series against the Proteas.
After debuting for the Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB) in the 2017 Indian Premier League (IPL), Avesh moved to the Delhi Capitals (DC) in 2018 in search of more game time but could not be a regular feature in the team's playing XI. The muscular bowler from Indore had a breakout season with the Capitals in the 2021 IPL, scalping 24 wickets, ending the campaign as the second-highest wicket-taker in the cash-rich league.
Avesh's wicket-taking ability against some of the best batters in the world earned him a callup from the Indian national team for their T20I series against New Zealand. With most of the senior Indian cricketers rested, he would be looking to make an impact in the shortest format to earn a permanent spot in the Indian cricket team.

Editor's Note: The author is the executive director of SECoast.
If the ends justify the means – and supporters are willing to overlook a flawed planning process, a dubious subdivide and shell corporations designed to skirt environmental regulation – we ask simply that the public and Zoning Commission members consider carefully the true character of those ends.
Surely, it's never been the case that a failure of ends can justify a failure of means. But failed—and at best uncertain ends—are exactly what Hope Partnership, Women's Institute, and attorney David Royston asked members of the Commission to approve last night in an effort to establish an aura of inevitability and bureaucratic momentum for the project.
At the very least, we expected the applicants to resolve those issues directly acknowledged under health and safety rules as the basis for their request for a continuance on July 11, 2018. Pedestrian safety? Months later, still crickets. Really, how is it possible, that plans submitted last night included a crosswalk between residences and the community center within the development, but failed to address pedestrian safety and a crossing of Route 156 to the nearby shopping district?
In defense, attorney Royston leans heavily on the letter of the law, but what he does not explain is that a street design can be defective—and thus unsafe—even if the design is otherwise legal. Years ago, the design for I-95 between Exit 70 and Exit 74 met the letter of law, but as we understand now, the geometry of the roadway was fatally flawed. Oh the irony, that we might repeat a similar mistake in the very same location.
We understand that many of the numerous issues of health and safety considered separately may not rise to the high bar of outweighing the real public good of affordable housing, but to be clear as a matter of the law, these issues should not be considered separately – a practice called segmentation – but rather as a meaningful whole. As Ms. Marsh, and others have pointed out amply in questioning safe exit and entrance to the property, it's possible that each sightline considered as a piece is sufficient, but considered together, lack commonsense and safety.
We believe that this project makes that same error of segmentation not once, but many times over, aided too often by fibs and later revisions along the way to secure the aid and approval of various boards, commissions, and bodies, including (but not limited to) misleading filed papers to secure the subdivide, the promised recusal of counsel and 'completed' water testing to secure approval of wetlands, the use of shell corporations and the subdivision to avoid DEEP oversight and regulatory standards for a project of this size, the steady growth of the project over the course of months from a dozen or 16 units to 37 units and 950 ft of retaining walls reaching to eight feet in height. You might ask yourself why these retaining walls were never a serious topic of conversation at the Inland Wetlands hearing earlier this year. Perhaps, it's because they weren't in the plan approved at the time.
Now the applicants ask that the commission members and the public put this all aside and approve a project without solutions in place even for automobile traffic, water or septic; without designs which comply with the 2018 Fire Code. If this constitutes sufficient planning, truly we wonder what an incomplete or inadequate plan for the applicant would be. Really, are we to believe that nonexistent or endlessly variable plans better meet the rules of health and safety, than mere bad plans? We remain unconvinced.
For months, the best defense this plan had was the apparent – we were repeatedly promised – lack of a better location. We fully understand those who might embrace the good of affordable housing when presented with such a solitary opportunity. But it appears that even this is untrue, as already last night Kristin Anderson of the Women's Institute made clear that this project was the first of others already contemplated or in part planned in Old Lyme. We strongly advise the community, the Commission, and the applicants to leave aside the current project, and embrace these other alternatives.
This is a horrible plan for a very terrible location.
I am shocked that all the commission's which are supposed to follow safety rules are ignoring common sense. It really makes me wonder what in the world they are thinking!
I agree this is not a safe location for this project!
Once again a project in Old Lyme has been pushed to "final phase" for approval without many residents being aware of the project. The planning and development has gone on for months, if not years without public knowledge. Why wasn't this shared more with our Community before the Spring of 2018? Where is the transparency? To quote another town resident- "this is not a noble project".
I do not agree with your contention that this project has been conducted in the dark and without public knowledge; nor do I feel that there is some sort of "deep state" apparatus operating within Old Lyme's government. There has certainly been adequate time for comment at several almost "standing room only" town meetings.
I sense a pattern here. You had earlier complained that a continuation meeting in July was intentionally scheduled to coincide and conflict with a meeting of the finance committee which, presumably, would prevent your attendance.
I was at a meeting last fall where you complained that Ledge Light Health District used "Gestapo" tactics in performing restaurant inspections in Old Lyme.
