Fore-edge painting, technique of painting the edges of the leaves, or folios, of a book, employed in the European Middle Ages. Manuscript books with gold-tooled bindings often had the edges of their pages gilded with burnished gold. They were also frequently goffered with heated tools and were occasionally coloured. From 1650 onward a number of London binders practiced a new decorative method of fore-edge painting: floral scrolls or scenes were painted upon the fanned-out fore-edge of the leaves and concealed by a normal gilt edge when the book was closed; they became visible only when it was opened. This decorative device was continued in the 18th century, but by the late 19th century fore-edge painting began to wane in popularity.

Many experts emphasize that approximately 80% of learning comes through a child's eyes. Since a child's eyesight can change often, regular eye and vision care is crucial to a student's classroom performance. Unfortunately, most parents are not including eye exams as part of their child's back-to-school health check-up. Additionally a recent survey found that over half of parents don't take their child for an eye screening until age three or older. The AOA actually recommends that children receive their first sight screening at half a year, then complete eye check-ups beginning at age three, before beginning school. Check-ups should continue to be scheduled routinely every two years from that point on.
A good number of the problems a child suffers from in the classroom may be the result of vision impairment. The number of students who have undiagnosed vision problems is quite high. Reports indicate that 60 percent of children classified as "problem learners" really suffer from undetected vision problems. You can avoid potential problems if you take a proactive role in ensuring your child's vision is up to par.
Don't wait until your child enters kindergarten for his first complete eye exam. Your child's doctor should perform a dilated eye exam to identify any serious eye problems by the first two months after birth. It's crucial to find any issues at a young age, since children are usually more responsive to treatment when diagnosed early. Additionally as a parent, it's important to make sure your child is reading sufficiently. Generally, most kindergarteners are eager to look at books and try and figure out words. Children that don't read books may have a vision issue. Before you assume the worst, it's a advisable to get a vision examination. For a pediatric eye exam in Boynton Beach, FL, call us to schedule an appointment.
Keep in mind that the earlier a vision difficulty is identified and treated, the greater the chances for successful treatment. And vision is a crucial component for school. If a child's vision is limited, growing visual demands such as finer print in books or additional homework can considerably change a student's success. Additionally new technology in the classroom, including the use of interactive whiteboards, can also possibly exacerbate less obvious vision issues. Without healthy vision, children may suffer not only at school, but also mentally, physically and emotionally. Before school starts this year, make sure your child's vision is on par! Call us for a Boynton Beach, FL eye exam today.

SHOWCASE PRESENTS: Can We Talk About Earth 2 For A Minute?
(Editors Note: All editorials are solely the opinion of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of DC Comics News or its staff.)
I don't like Earth 2. Or, at least, I didn't like Earth 2 when I read it, so I stopped. I made it four issues in before I dropped the book. And, honestly, I really did struggle through those four issues.
We all heard the stories before the book launched. We knew how things had changed. Alan Scott went from being a guy with two kids, one of whom was gay, to being a young man who was gay. That was the big thing that all the media focused on. I was more interested in how the new Justice Society was a group of second generation heroes. And how ugly the Flash's new costume turned out to be.
It's like a tapestry of terrible things…
That said, I'd like to talk about Alan Scott first. Personally, I don't think DC should've changed the man's sexuality. I'm a huge advocate for gay rights (and equal rights in general). I think everyone deserves equality, safety, happiness, and all that good stuff, including equal representation, not just in a legal sense, but in all forms of media. But I would've preferred it if DC had created new characters as opposed to changing the sexuality of previously existing characters. The change just seems rather arbitrary, as if DC editorial one day picked a name out of a hat and said "We need to fill a diversity requirement… You! You're gay now!"
To be fair, it was probably more like "we got this one guy who's powerless against wood." "Well he's just ASKING for it."
I think it would've been a far more interesting and powerful story to maintain that Alan's son, Obsidian, was gay. That way, DC could have shown a supportive family dynamic as a model for young people coming out to their parents.
That said, I understand that making a higher-profile character like Green Lantern gay would make the change more prominent and harder to ignore (unlike Bunker, who I ignore solely on the basis that Scott Lobdell is writing him).
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk about my big concern with Earth 2: Why? The biggest change to the Justice Society characters, and, in my opinion, one of the most wholly unnecessary and stupid changes of the New 52, was making the team a group of second generation heroes. One of the most fundamental aspects of the JSA characters was that they were the first. The first group of people to put on masks and fight crime. They were the first superheroes. What they were doing was something that had never been done before. Superheroism was an entirely new concept.
Making the team into second generation heroes (and by that I mean that Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Robin, and Mister Terrific were all confirmed as active heroes for years prior to any of the JSA characters coming into play) severely diminishes who these characters are.
Why even call them Alan Scott and Jay Garrick if they have nothing in common with their previous namesakes? Hell, they made Alan into a defender of the Green (think Swamp Thing but green fire instead of plants) as opposed to a wielder of the Starheart (the essence of magic in the old DCU).
Remember kids, only YOU can start green forest fires.
Rebooting characters doesn't mean you get to alter them completely and retain the name. It means you keep the fundamentals of who those characters are and you simplify their world. Why not just create new characters?
So my big issue with Earth 2 was that the whole thing just felt… forced. With all those young rebooted heroes running around in the New 52, why couldn't we see a few idealistic old war vets? Why couldn't they have families and legacies? Why couldn't Earth 2 have been an opportunity to tell new stories in new ways as opposed to the crappy place where Solomon Grundy turned into a death metal zombie?
Step 1: Find out whose terrible idea this was.
Step 2: Say "no" very sternly.
To me, Earth 2 represents everything that went wrong in the New 52. Well, Earth 2 and every book Lobdell writes. And every time a creative team walks off a book because of editors lying and micromanaging. Earth 2 is a big one though.

A COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF AN EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATIVE, CSOs AND MEDIA ROUNDTABLE ON FINANCING FOR NUTRITION IN SOKOTO STATE ORGANIZED BY CIVIL SOCIETY LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY CENTRE (CISLAC) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH UNITED NATIONS CHILDREN'S FUND (UNICEF) HELD AT DANKANI PALACE HOTEL SOKOTO, SOKOTO STATE ON 2ND OCTOBER, 2018.
The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre in partnership with United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) organized a Roundtable Dialogue on Budgeting for Nutrition. The Dialogue aimed at bringing under one roof the state's executive, legislative, CSOs and the media to identify opportunities for financing nutrition, understand existing efforts by the State towards increasing domestic investment for nutrition and address nutrition emergency, giving cognizance to the importance of timely release of funds. The meeting drew participants from the Sokoto State House of Assembly, State Ministries of Education, Women Affairs, Agriculture, Finance, Sokoto State Primary Health Care Development Agency, civil society groups and the media.
Sokoto state ranks among the twelve (12) states of Nigeria with high malnutrition prevalence thereby putting the state at risk of set-back to socio-economic growth and development.
Sokoto state is not doing enough to match UNICEF's intervention to address malnutrition in terms of adequate budgetary provisions and timely releases. This situation continues to create gaps in nutrition management efforts in the state.
The state adopted the national action plan on nutrition by setting up a Food and Nutrition Committee at the state and local government levels, however, the committees ceased to function overtime as a result of non-releases of funds.
Even as malnutrition continues to pose a threat to human development, it has not been given adequate publicity in Sokoto state. This has led to a lack of sufficient awareness on its implication.
While CMAM has been identified as an effective approach that offers both preventive and curative measures in nutrition management globally, Sokoto state has not shown enough commitment to the programme as the few CMAM centers in the state are funded by development partners.
It is difficult for civil society organizations to track and monitor government's actual budgetary allocation and releases for nutrition because it is not earmarked in a budget line but embedded in lump-sums of other health headings.
Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) and routine drugs which are currently being provided by UNICEF in a number of CMAM centers is an effective supplement for revitalizing malnourished children and breaking the malnutrition cycle however, UNICEF's intervention is largely inadequate.
There are other cheap and cost-free approaches to mitigate malnutrition in children such as Exclusive Breast Feeding programme, however, a lot of families especially those in the rural areas are not adequately informed about this measure thereby contributing to the increase of the menace.
There is low political will on the part of the government of all the north-west states to release funds for nutrition even as releases are made to other sectors.
There is the need to galvanize efforts and address nutrition management with every sense of importance and urgency to curb malnutrition prevalence in Sokoto state.
There is the need for CSOs and the media to engage the planning and budget office as well as the state's House of Assembly Committee on Appropriation towards improved nutrition budgeting and timely releases to match government's counterpart funding commitments to UNICEF programmes.
It is pertinent to set up a civil society forum of nutrition experts which will meet on timely basis to map out clear advocacy objectives in engaging relevant stakeholders to revamp the Food and Nutrition Committee as well as serving as a platform to continually engage nutrition discussions.
There is the need for the media to consistently report and expose the malnutrition situation in Sokoto state as this would not only create awareness but also serve as citizens voice in demanding for better nutrition management.
Sokoto state should adopt a collective strategy involving its key ministries and agencies such as Ministries of Health, Education, Budget and Economic Planning, Women and Children Affairs, relevant House of Assembly Committees and other relevant stakeholders to scale up CMAM approach in the state.
In order to ensure accountability and efficiency in nutrition funding in the state, there is the need for CSOs to liaise with the Planning and Budget office and House of Assembly to ensure nutrition allocations are clearly itemized in the budget.
Government and relevant stakeholders as a matter of urgency must take ownership of efforts to save its own citizens by matching UNICEF's programme in procuring and administering RUTF supplements.
The civil society, media and relevant government agencies must step up sensitization to families across the state to educate them on the benefits of Exclusive Breast Feeding and subsequent nutritious food supplements.
Stakeholders should begin to drive advocacy towards the establishment of State Nutrition Agency as this would prompt adequate budgetary allocations and releases for the management of nutrition.
The State House of Assembly to liaise with the civil society group to galvanize the creation of governance and accountability structure on nutrition.
The State House of Assembly to facilitate increase in budgetary allocation and strengthen oversight activities on release of nutrition funding.
The civil society group to intensify efforts on policy and legislative advocacy on increased budgetary allocation (at least 15%) to health sector.
Media to adopt holistic approach to unveil challenges bedeviling adequate and timely release of funding for nutrition.
Stakeholders Advocacy Forum on nutrition should be constituted to engage government on continuous budgetary allocations, timely releases of funds as well as implementation and monitoring of nutrition activities.

Notre Dame is hiring for 200+ positions
Author: Gwen O'Brien, NDWorks
Glon
Some say the days of working at one place for many years are gone. But that isn't true if the place is Notre Dame. John Glon, assistant director of student dining, has been here 32 years, and he's hoping to help attract more than 200 new staff members to join him.
The University Enterprises and Events and the Campus Safety and University Operations divisions are offering referral bonuses to Notre Dame employees.
"I think the overall picture of what Notre Dame offers will be very appealing to people," Glon said at a recent hiring event on campus. "Our pay is competitive, but what the University has that other places don't have are incredible benefits."
Many of the open jobs are within the University Enterprises and Events (UEE) division and include bartenders, cooks, guest services associates, food and beverage managers and more. Approximately 130 of the open positions are full time and 100 are part time.
At the Morris Inn, weekend weddings and campus visits have picked up considerably, and move-in and home football weekends are just weeks away. Pictured above are Stephanie Berg and her mother Beth Berg carrying Stephanie's wedding dress into the hotel. Stephanie was married on campus in July.

Hiring opportunities at Notre Dame of this magnitude don't come often, but this is a time like no other.
Campus is waking up from the pandemic. You can see it at places like the Morris Inn, where it is nearly business as usual. Weekend weddings and campus visits have picked up considerably, and move-in and home football weekends are just weeks away. Also coming soon is the debut of the new McKenna Hall, home to the Notre Dame Conference Center. In-person conferences and meetings there will not be far behind. Morris Inn managers oversee conference center staff.
"We need more than 100 new employees just for the Morris Inn and the Notre Dame Conference Center," John Cheng, director of operations at the Morris Inn, said. "The food and beverage team needs help, and the operations team — which includes housekeeping and hotel guest services agents — does, too."
It takes a lot of staff to make the visitor experience, like all things at Notre Dame, excellent.
"UEE is honored to support the important educational endeavors and many exciting activities across the University. To ensure we create exceptional Notre Dame moments, we remain focused on enhancing the experience for our current team members and recruiting talented new colleagues," said Micki Kidder, vice president for University enterprises and events.
Of course, the University is not the only place hiring, and some businesses have found a smaller pool of candidates.
"The idea that there's a labor shortage to me is a little bit of a misnomer. There are multiple factors at play," said Daniel Graff, a labor historian, professor and director of the Higgins Labor Program within the Center for Social Concerns.
"I think that hospitality is competing with other sectors, so that workers can be choosier than they're used to," Graff said, adding, "Employers need to offer better terms to employees to bring them (in)."
The terms for the UEE positions are generous: Wages are between $13.50 and $35 an hour; there are opportunities for advancement; health insurance and educational and retirement benefits are available for qualifying positions; and staff members in hospitality and dining positions are able to enjoy a free meal while on their shift. Plus, UEE sweetened the deal with signing and referral bonuses.
Here's how the bonuses work: Shelley Johnson, hired recently as a cook in Campus Dining, will receive a $1,000 signing bonus ($500 after working 60 days and $500 after working 180 days) for joining Notre Dame at this busy time. Meanwhile, Chasity Rockwell, who works in the Center for Culinary Excellence Bakeshop, will also receive $1,000 for referring her as long as Johnson stays with Notre Dame for at least six months.
Campus Safety and University Operations (CSUO) is looking for custodians and material handlers. That division is also offering the referral bonus program.
"We are incredibly grateful for all of our colleagues across the CSUO division as we collectively serve Our Lady's University. Regardless of the department within CSUO, be it Building Services, Mail Services, the Notre Dame Police Department or elsewhere, our team gets to be out across the entire campus working in every building and area and interacting with our students, faculty and staff colleagues," Mike Seamon, vice president for campus safety and University operations.
So what's it like to work at Notre Dame?
"UEE is a fun, kind and joy-filled family, and we are excited to welcome new members to join us as we serve Our Lady's mission!" Kidder said.

Derrick Faulkens, who works at Rohr's in the Morris Inn as a bartender and server, agrees. He's been at Notre Dame for nine years.
"It's a family atmosphere. Everyone here treats you like a brother or sister," Faulkens said. "We all know we have a mission to take care of and we all work toward that mission and have fun together."
Ashley Harrington, who works in the Morris Inn's kitchen, also loves her job. She's been here for two years.
"You never know what's coming, and as cooks that's what you expect. You don't know what the day is going to be like and there's just a kind of excitement that comes with that. It's kind of a challenge," Harrington said.
The next hiring fair is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, July 28, at the Center for Culinary Excellence. Click for a campus map. For a full list of open positions at the University, visit jobs.nd.edu.

New York — June 7, 2017 — Toyota Motor North America was named to LATINO Magazine's top 100 companies for Latinos for the fifth consecutive year. The annual list factors in corporate support for the Latino community in the areas of philanthropy, workforce diversity, minority business development and governance.
This year the magazine highlighted Toyota's Organization for Development of Latinos (TODOS), an employee resource group, which encompasses 600 team members across North America. TODOS leverages the talent and energy of team members to make a positive impact on its members, the company and communities where Toyota conducts business.
"We are honored to be recognized for our commitment to the Latino community, from efforts to empower team members to initiatives to help drive our communities forward," said Adrienne Trimble, general manager, diversity & inclusion, Toyota Motor North America. "Hispanic-owned enterprises are some of our key business partners. We've done more than $1 billion in business with Latino suppliers to date, and since 2000, we've tripled the number of our Hispanic-owned Toyota and Lexus dealerships."
In the community, Toyota also recently launched "Juntos Somos Imparables" or "Together We Are Unstoppable," which is aimed at celebrating those who have made a difference in the lives of Hispanics and have inspired them to succeed and reach their dreams.
Nominations to the LATINO 100 were submitted both formally and informally by non-profits and community organizations, as well as the magazine's readers, partners and stakeholders in the Hispanic market. The listing was compiled by the editors of LATINO from these nominations, and their own research on companies and programs that positively impact Latinos.


Today the re salutes Mt. Airy Art Garage, an exceptional nonprofit Arts Hub that "functions as a resource center of creativity for artists, art lovers, and all those who seek to bring an eco-friendly and artistic sensibility to their lives." MAAG houses artist studios and gallery space for its members – mainly artists in Northwest Philadelphia – in a gorgeously renovated former warehouse space in downtown Mt. Airy. They host artist-driven workshops, events and art markets and serve more generally as an incubator and communal space "for artistic creativity, collaboration, and celebration." We dig it!
The exhibition is tactile and vibrant, diverse in both the themes explored and the mediums represented, including painting, sculpture, photography and textile. The pieces are particularly enhanced by the personal and thoughtful artist statements. The exhibition will run through March 29 and admission is free, so if you can make it up to MAAG this week, we recommend that you do so!
Mt. Airy Art Garage is located at 11 West Mt. Airy Ave and is open Wednesday and Friday 12-7, Thursday and Saturday 12-6, and Sunday 12-5.

Jak's Place – January Mission
By Roderick Krueger|2023-01-20T11:45:34-06:00January 20th, 2023|
JAK's Place is a refuge in our Community. It provides structured and social resources to those among us who are affected by mental illness. It also provides family members with information and support. JAK's Place is not a treatment center, but rather a drop-in cen- ter where you can stop by anytime we are open. We have scheduled activities daily that are all free of charge. We are an under- standing group of individuals that create a safe space for all.
Here is an excerpt from their latest newsletter:
"COVID-19 has been a lot: sickness and isolation, cancelled events and vacations, and the inability to visit with loved ones. All of this has piled up over the months and now years. What we need to remember is that all of us are connected, by our common needs and desires. We need to show compassion for one another as friends and family and al- so complete strangers. That's everyone's job. A virus will not discriminate and we shouldn't either. Our community is strengthened and progresses accordingly when we choose to care for each other as people and lift each other up. This pandemic has been a terrible thing but it has given us the opportunity to bring our community together and to reflect on the fact that we're all in the same storm."
JAK's Place opened in 2006 as a community resource for those whose lives have been touched by mental illness. The center is named after Jonah Andrew Klapatch (JAK), who lost his life in 2005 to the unpredictable effects of mental illness.
JAK's Place is located just across from the hospital in Sturgeon Bay at 1623 Rhode Is- land Street and is a program of Lakeshore CAP. Inc. Please consider helping out by donating to our January mission. Thank you

Last Monday was a busy day – what with holding auditions for the role of Kayano (Dr. Nagai's daughter and the young Takashi) and the filming of key scenes from the opening sequences!
It was a great day though, well worth every minute and we'll be announcing our casting decisions very soon. In the meantime, a big thank you to all the parents who brought their children to the auditions.
Also another thank you to our wonderful costume assistant/adviser Kikuko Wall whose help was invaluable, and to Bill Evans, who went the extra mile for us, quite literally!
Japanese actress Kyoko Morita plays Tsune Nagai, the mother of Takashi.
Actress Kyoko Morita kindly postponed a trip to Japan for a week so she would be available for our shoot. Not only did she look great in the part – she gave a wonderful performance as Tsune Nagai, the mother of Takashi.
Check out Kyoko's website here.
The next big shoot will be the "Cathedral scene" on 10th November, which will be filmed at a location in Birmingham. "We've found the perfect place for the scene," explains Ian, "a beautiful church that really has the grand look of a cathedral inside and looks simply stunning on camera". "We just need to fill it out with as many people as we can", adds Dominic.
So, once again, we're looking for members of the Japanese community to appear as extras. All ages are welcome, both male and female. If you're interested in doing something a little different on Saturday 10th November, why not come along – it'll be a fun day for sure! For further details please contact Nigel at daveyfilms@aol.com.
Here's a video showing some before and after shots from the greenscreen scenes we've filmed so far.
If you have $15 to spare then please consider making a donation towards our completion funds – we've already achieved what many people told us we couldn't… but we need just a little bit more budget to ensure the film continues to get the quality it deserves throughout the post-production phase, the part where we finish filming and start to put the whole thing together.
So why not be a part of this ground breaking movie and help us to bring the story of Dr. Nagai and all those who suffered at Nagasaki and Hiroshima to the screen, where it belongs?

Charles Olson's Masterwork
The Maximus Poems , by Charles Olson. Berkeley, Calif.: University of California Press, 1983.
A Guide to The Maximus Poems of Charles Olson by George F. Butterick. Berkeley, Calif.: University of California Press, 1978.
Charles Olson's immediate poetic elders make a context for The Maximus Poems , but they do not help to explain this remarkable work, nor do they define sufficiently the conceptual shift here accomplished. Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams each imagined a New World that derived, however antagonistically, from European habits, in the arts particularly but also in forms of history and epistemology. Unlike them, Olson's background was classic American: working-class, mill town, immigrant. However aristocratic, so to speak, his subsequent education, his habits are here defined and his resources located. "Back," as the poem reads, "is no direction." But here is a more specific instance of the place of "An American," so that one may avoid any misunderstanding:
No Greek will be able
to discriminate my body.
An American
is a complex of occasions,
themselves a geometry
of spatial nature.
Washington Post Book World , November 13, 1983.
I have this sense;
that I am one
with my skin.
Plus this—plus this:
that forever the geography
which leans in
on me I compell
backwards I compell Gloucester
to yield, to
is this
Clearly the insistence of any long poem argues a need to make a composition of the disjunctive factors of the present "world"—"this present life," as the dictionary says. The epic not only permits such existence—being "one with my skin"—but discovers the actual body itself, inside and out. Such poems of our own time—Pound's Cantos , Williams' Paterson , Zukofsky's "A "—are heroically intent upon this possibility, as in Pound's great effort to measure the capacity and resource of intellect; or Williams' heartbreaking labor in age to make a place for feeling in the common commitment of that human need; or, finally, Zukofsky's intense and binding evocation of family, of our lives in relation, which must serve of necessity as their only possibility of value.
The Maximus Poems began as letters to an old friend of Olson's, Vincent Ferrini, a fellow poet in the city of Gloucester, Massachusetts, which itself serves as definition of human potential and consequence. But far better that one apply to the editor of this very usefully revised and established text of the poem, George Butterick, whose A Guide to 'The Maximus Poems' of Charles Olson includes a solid introduction with detailed information on the background of the poem's writing. One may note here, simply, that what begins as a social and politically determined address, in large part, with history a factor of pedagogic intent, soon moves far beyond that enclosure of information, despite its use and significance. In fact, this wider disposition is always present, as here:
( . . . metric then is mapping, and so,
to speak modern cant, congruent means of
making a statement), I, as Mr. Foster, went
to Gloucester, thus:
"And past-I-go
Gloucester—insides
being Fosterwise of
Charley-once-boy
insides"
The paradigm "Gloucester" yields much more than detail, data for the clothing of preoccupations. One needs turn to the earned emotional size of its "place" in a later poem, "I have been an ability—a machine—up to now . . . ," to have any sense of the variousness of its presence in the poem, because it is a place of primary, of primordial, recognitions. Just as Herman Melville had made the industry of whaling imaginative ground for a mythos of the will, so Olson makes of Maximus, as George Butterick aptly puts it in the Guide 's introduction, an "Ahab come 'full stop.' He is Western man at the limit of himself, who no longer has a frontier other than himself and his extricable past, no farther west to go but to dig in deeper where he stands, with the result that Gloucester is taken back, 'compelled' to its founding in 1623 by migrating European man, back to the old Norse and the Algonquins, even farther back to the ice and Pleistocene man."
One might well cite the persistent beauty of the verse. It has been a constant wonder to me how various and particular was Olson's genius in the literal practice of his craft. His formal invention is constant and inevitably particular to the factors of statement. In short, he says things . But even that extraordinary grace might prove fragile were it not that he shares with D. H. Lawrence a prescient information, a power of intuition but, more accurately, of perception that can "see" as feeling, that knows it knows . In an early characterization, he dubbed himself an "archaeologist of morning" (which phrase became the title of his posthumously collected poems, not including the Maximus sequence).
He left him naked,
the man said, and
is what one means
that all start up
to the eye and soul
as though it had never
happened before . . .
That is the measure we are here offered.

This time, Bruins finally have the finishing touch
PUBLISHED: February 26, 2010 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 6, 2017 at 9:22 a.m.
LOS ANGELES – Against Washington in Saturday's 97-68 loss, the UCLA men's basketball team wilted.
Against Oregon State on Thursday, the Bruins sagged, too.
Only this time, they were ahead by 10 and not down by 20, and UCLA held on as the Beavers mounted a late-game charge to defeat Oregon State, 65-56.
Early in the game, the Bruins were running and jumping with energy, defending with tenacity and passing with precision.
In other words, everything they didn't do against the Huskies. UCLA had 11 first-half assists and just four turnovers while shooting 16 of 30 from the field to build a 10-point halftime lead.
Loose balls, they dived after.
High passes, they jumped for.
The hustle translated to the offensive side with freshman forward Tyler Honeycutt having most of the fun while scoring 13 first-half points.
"When the gettin' is good, everybody's on it," Honeycutt said. "When it's going well, you can make mistakes here and there. When things are bad, you can't do those same things. You can't keep taking those same shots. It's hard to change the momentum … when you're down 7, it can turn into 14, 21."
Or, in UCLA's case, a big lead can turn into a small one.
After senior forward Nikola Dragovic, who finished with 14 points, hit a 3-pointer less than a minute into the second half, the Bruins went up by 11 points. Less than five minutes later, that lead was three.
Turnovers plagued UCLA in the second half as passes sailed either three feet too high or two feet two low. There were eight turnovers in all.
Then there were offensive rebounds, of which UCLA had six to the Beavers' 21.
The Bruins, like they consistently have done throughout the season, let Oregon State back in the game – just as they've done to many opponents after big wins.
"Sometimes when we get a few wins under our belt, we get a bit lackadaisical and take it for granted," Honeycutt said. "It shows you how good some of the teams are out there, and we have to bring our A-game every day. We really can't take a break."
To stop such massive swings, UCLA head coach Ben Howland has attempted to toughen up his players.
In recent practices, the coaching staff has called fewer and fewer fouls, which forced the Bruins to frown and bear it, to push on and persevere.
They did that against the Beavers with a 16-7 run to close the game.
"We have a few tough guys, but we have a few finesse players, people who aren't used to being rough, tough types of guys," sophomore center J'mison Morgan said. "But that's what coach wants, and that's what you have to play for coach."

Q: Expected value of the number of bills Every day I put 1 or 2 dollars in the piggy bank with probability $1/2$.
What's is expected value number of 2-dollar bills when in the piggy bank will be for the first time at least 100 dollars ?
I know what is going on. Let $X$- number of 2-dollar bills.
1) $X=1$ :
1 dollar- 98 bills and 2 dollars- 1 bill or 1 dollar - 99 bills and 2-dollars- 1 bill
2) $X=2$
1 dollar- 96 bills and 2 dollars- 2 bills or 1 dollar- 97 bills and 2 dollars- 2 bills
etc.
Unfortunately, I can't think of a quick way.

A: You either reach $100$, or you reach $99$ and then draw a $2$-dollar bill. The probability to reach $100$ with $k$ $2$-dollar bills and $100-2k$ $1$-dollar bills  is $\binom{100-k}k2^{k-100}$. The probability to reach $99$ with $k$ $2$-dollar bills and $99-2k$ $1$-dollar bills is $\binom{99-k}k2^{k-99}$. Thus the expected number of $2$-dollar bills is
\begin{eqnarray*}
&&\sum_{k=0}^{50}k\binom{100-k}k2^{k-100}+\frac12\sum_{k=0}^{49}(k+1)\binom{99-k}k2^{k-99}\\
&=&\frac2{27}\left(299+301\cdot2^{-100}\right)+\frac1{27}\left(305-605\cdot2^{-100}\right)\\
&=&
\frac{301-3\cdot2^{-100}}9\\
&\approx&\frac{301}9\\
&=&33\frac49\;.
\end{eqnarray*}

A: You expect to have an equal number of \$1 and \$2 bills in your bank, so when your total is $\$N$ you expect to have $\frac N3$ \$2 bills.
The hitch for this is that the first time you have at least \$100, you might have jumped over \$100 to get \$101.  There are exactly three equally likely cases for the last step: you went from \$98 to \$100, you went from \$99 to \$100, and you went from \$99 to \$101.
All totaled, that gives an expected number of \$2 bills of
$$\frac13\left(\frac{98}3+1+\frac{99}{3}+0+\frac{99}{3}+1\right)=33\frac59$$

A: This of it this way. You have $101\ \ \$1$ and $50\ \ \$2$. You have to use combination to get either $100$ or $101$.
So the total no of ways you can do it for $\$100$ is $$\sum_{n=0}^{100}\ ^{100}C_{n}\cdot^{50}C_{(100-n)/2}$$ where $n$ is even
And for $\$101$ is $$\sum_{n=1}^{101}\ ^{101}C_{n}\cdot^{50}C_{(100-n+1)/2}$$ Where $n$ is odd
So for getting $\$100$ there are total $51$ combinations. And for $\$101$ there are $51$ ways. So total $102$ combinations.

One of the first museums created for the enjoyment of the middle class was the Shakespeare Gallery, opened in 1789 by John Boydell. Each of its paintings depicted a different scene from a Shakespeare play, and the museum even had a shop on its lower level for purchasing souvenir prints. It closed in 1805, its collection of paintings dispersed through an auction, and its building at 52 Pall Mall was torn down in 1870. The University of Texas (UT) in Austin recently launched a new digital re-creation of the gallery, reimagining a moment in 1796 when author Jane Austen visited its three rooms.
As Jennifer Schuessler reported for the New York Times, the gallery wasn't just significant for Shakespeare but for museums, marking "a crucial moment in the birth of modern museum culture, with its democratic appeals to the culture-hungry middle class." This aspect of the gallery is also the focus of a recently published book, Exhibiting Englishness, by art historian Rosie Dias.
2016 is a major year of Shakespeare celebration in honor of the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death. Professor Janine Barchas in the UT Department of English led the What Jane Saw project in collaboration with students and staff at the Liberal Arts Instructional Technology development lab. Retrieving the appearance of the Shakespeare Gallery — or "The Shakspeare Gallery" as Boydell archaically called it — wasn't as easy as looking at a catalogue or contemporary paintings of the space, although those were researched. Barchas and her team examined engravings of missing paintings, canvases that had been chopped down from their original sizes, and Boydell's payments to different artists to determine painting dimensions.
The Shakespeare Gallery builds on a previous What Jane Saw project, which focused on an 1813 exhibition of paintings by Joshua Reynolds, also viewed by Jane Austen. That show happened to take place at 52 Pall Mall following the closure of the Shakespeare Gallery, so the digital architecture was already in place to install a new group of paintings.
By clicking through an interactive floor plan, online visitors can stroll through three sunlit galleries, which were originally accessed by a central stairway, and select art by Reynolds, Henry Fuseli, Benjamin West, and other British painters, with accompanying texts on their corresponding Shakespeare scenes. It isn't exactly like stepping into the past, but it's as close as you can get to a comprehensive portal to this 18th-century moment, when literature met the development of the modern museum.
Explore the digital re-creation of the 1796 Shakespeare Gallery online at What Jane Saw, from the University of Texas at Austin.

As previously discussed, I think it would be a good idea to come up with a generic "social bookmarking"/"sharing" icon for use with things like my Share This plugin.
It's in the same vein as the feed icon as Chris discussed.
The connected dots represent information/data/ideas passing from one originating place to others. The green color is used to reinforce the "go"ing nature of the interaction.
It's obviously rough, and just a first concept so hopefully we can discuss it as a concept rather than picking at the problems in the details1.
Please continue to post your own contributions (links to images, etc.) in the comments – but remember to test them at 12×12 pixels and 16×16 pixels as well. Use the feed icons package as an example.
This post is part of the project: Share Icon. View the project timeline for more context on this post.
I like the idea, but I agree it'll need tweaking. Perhaps having it spit 3 different ways? currently it just feels… like "Y." But that may be the feeling to go with.and move the whole close to the edge (make bigger) so that it enlarges and shrinks better.
Alex, I like the icon. The concept is clear and the presentation grabs attention. I don't see much that needs to be changed.
I like the icon- I agree maybe black or a darker green border around the inside of the "Y".
I'd definitely be concerned about how that displays at a small size. At 16 x 16 it looks more like a left-pointing arrow, I fear. Perhaps the addition of another child node, with the connections of differing lengths and angles?
Sharing might be better-represented as a more radial relationship, but then again, scale's gonna be tricky. Good luck!
I'd be curious to see it at a range of sizes, but I like the first cut a lot, guy.
Hopefully a :scare: real :/scare: icon artist will take the ball from here and run with it (polished version or derivative). Creating versions of an icon at different sizes is a special skill.
Excellent! I like it. Simple and to the point. go for it!
Ooh, nice! I like it.
looks good to me. Though you didn't have to watermark it.
I don't blame him for adding the watermark- it's his concept and design.
Watermark OK, but copyright? I'd consider CC instead – especially if your aim is modification by other artists and adoption by the outside world.
Yes, I just had to be that anti-copyright guy.
This is more what I was thinking. Roughly same idea… but triple.
Alex. Check that same folder that I had posted samples before if the links get lost again.
it kept getting noted as spam.
Brett – copyright is not a license. Please learn a little about about licensing and copyright before you chime in with criticism.
Partick – I think there is too much going on in there – just my $.02.
Nice icon. Like it and its description.
Looks a lot like the icon I created for my 'Application Monitor' software.
I used 3 dimensional spheres with shadows. That might give you some ideas.
You're absolutely right, Alex re: copyright. I'm not sure what I was thinking last night. Apologies.
No worries Brett – any final design will certainly be liberally licensed (probably dual or tri-licensed under GPL, CC, etc.).
I like! Concept #1 is much better than #2. Concept #2 is big-boned.
Well, you've given me an excuse to mess with Illustrator. What about arrows? The circles are cool but it's a little abstract for me.
Looks nice. I kept my root node in the middle rather than the bottom left was to avoid having the icon "grow" in the same direction that the feed icon does.
One of the reasons I didn't choose blue was that the OPML icon project is already using blue.
I don't see your concept of the star yet. I just added another one, a star with a hole in it. I dunno, just riffing on the idea of simple geometric designs. The star is simple, easy to see at small sizes, and isn't taken by OPML or RSS.
My quick and dirty concept.
When Concept #1 is used in context in the smaller size, it looks a lot like , it makes a fair amount of sense in terms of the concept you're using.
the three connected dots look excellent. especially in the way that they are lying on their side and in a way pointing to the left.
with the two feet to the right it is very much reminiscent of a fork and suggesting connection.
The star is really ugly. Don't start using random ugly icons.
I like the first one. Neat and it is similar to the rest. And I'm already using it on my blog.

2020 CAVS Fellow David Robbins on The Mysterious Utah Monolith
David Robbins, Accrochage
Artist, comedian, and writer David Robbins (CAVS Fellow 2007-08) was recently interviewed in the Milwaukee Record about the mysterious Utah Monolith. Robbins' primary area of practice included writing and intersections between artists and the entertainment industry.
Below is an excerpt from the interview by John Riepenhoff:
JR: The discovery of an anonymous object in the middle of nowhere parallels the ending of your recent book, Accrochage. Something must be in the air.
DR: So it seems. The object happened upon at the end of Accrochage is more inventive, hopefully, than the Utah monolith, with its ersatz 2001: A Space Odyssey vibe. I suppose whoever authored that Utah monolith may have been interested in playing like a tuning fork the popular culture coordinates of the mysterious monolith in 2001, but I find it corny. I think most people do. If the point was to render an "alien" mystery of that kind banal, then bravo, but I doubt that was the intent.
JR: Why do you think an art object in the middle of nowhere has resonance now?
DR: Anonymity is a big part of it. We are constantly barraged with brands, and the art world, which purports to be a bubble of anarchy, offers no respite from that. Famous artists are brand names, and young artists are encouraged to find their brand. It's a side-effect of the evolution from "art world" to "art system," which itself is part of the ongoing process of absorbing contemporary art production into the global culture industry. But an anonymously made object of a certain sophistication, happened upon in the middle of nowhere, doesn't lend itself to that kind of thinking. Consequently it's a hit of pure oxygen. We don't know who made it, we don't know why it's in that location, we don't know the intent. There's no brand. An anonymous object in the middle of nowhere eludes the art system. That's appealing at a time when a lot of people are interested in identifying ways to protect art from the art system.

After months of speculation and stalling, the Red Sox finally agreed to terms with the #1 free agent power hitter on the market. J.D. Martinez signed a 5-year, $110 million contract with the Red Sox on the first day of full squad workouts in Fort Myers. The contract was less than the original asking price and is front-loaded with 2 built-in opt-outs, which makes it reasonable (if that's possible) for both parties involved. Beyond the dollars, the bigger question is around impact. Does J.D. Martinez help to make the Red Sox a serious contender in 2018? The short answer is yes…but.
Let me start by saying that I could just as easily see J.D. Martinez flourish in the friendly confines of Fenway Park as I could see him take a nose-dive into the Charles River. He's one of the harder hitters to figure out, in my opinion, because he doesn't have a long history of success. Everyone has been talking about his huge 2017, but 29 of his 45 HRs came in just 62 games after being traded from the Detroit Tigers to the Arizona Diamondbacks. That's a tremendous stretch, but the likelihood he has another stretch even close to that in his career is very low. I look at 2017 as being a bit of an anomaly for J.D., but did display his raw power potential. The Red Sox brought him in as a middle-of-the-lineup power bat, but will he produce like a middle-of-the-lineup bat?
The positives first. In 3 full seasons with the Tigers (2014 through 2016), Martinez averaged 134 games played, 551 plate appearances, .299 average, .357 slugging percentage, 28 HRs, and 82 RBIs per year. By any account, those are really solid numbers for a power bat in the 3-5 hole in the lineup. If that's the J.D. we see in Boston, I think most fans would be happy with his performance. For perspective, the Red Sox won 93 games in 2017 without having a single player hit more than 24 HRs (24 – Mookie Betts) and just 1 player with a higher slugging percentage (.369 – Dustin Pedroia). Given those averages, J.D. would be the best hitter in an already strong lineup.
On the negative side, there are definitely some consistency concerns. Of the 3 full years in Detroit, J.D.'s power was inconsistent, hitting 23 HRs in 2014, 38 in 2015, and just 22 in 2016. He played in 158 games in 2015 compared to 123 in '14 and 122 in '16, but that's a huge 15-16 HR swing year-to-year, even with more at-bats. If the Red Sox get '14 or '16 Martinez, that's concerning. The Red Sox don't need another 20-25 HR hitter in the lineup (they had 4 in 2017), they need a feared 30+ HR hitter who can lift the pathetic overall team power out of the basement.
Age is another factor I'm concerned about. According to an Alex Speier article in the Boston Globe looking at age correlation with offensive power in January 2015, "…after turning 30, players experience a clear and steady decline in the likelihood they'll be productive offensive contributors." The article looked at WAR (Wins Above Replacement) and it showed a 50% decrease in 33-year old players delivering a 2.0 WAR that players aged 26-29. What does this all really mean? J.D. may be in later part of his peak and have a few strong power years left, or he could be primed to start sliding down the backside of the hill in 2018.
The other less concerning piece for Martinez is his streaky nature, which is not uncommon with power bats. Taking 2015 as an example, he hit 14 of his 38 total HRs in a 20-game stretch in June and July, hitting just 4 in his final 34 games of the season. I imagine some of the late season struggles were around playing in 158 games, by far the most of his career, making it a lesser overall concern. The Red Sox will likely mitigated some of this by giving Martinez rest when splitting some time with Hanley Ramirez in the DH spot. His other massive power streak, mentioned above, came last year when he hit 29 HRs in 62 games with the Diamondbacks.
My overall approach is cautious optimism. The Red Sox desperately needed to add a power bat to the lineup given their struggles in that department in 2017 and they got the best power bat available on the market without depleting their thin prospect system. It's hard to argue against that. In addition, they need several players on their roster to have better 2018 results than 2017, Xander Bogaerts and Mookie Betts at the top of the list, but if 2015 or 2017 Martinez is in the lineup most nights, the pressure will be reduced on everyone else and the Red Sox could be legitimate contenders in 2018.

Q: Why can't the guest of VirtualBox connect to network? I have installed CentOS 7 on virtualbox, and network setting is NAT. The guest can't connect to network:

systemctl -l status network output likes this:

ip addr output likes this:

Could anyone give some comments on this issue?

A: Using NAT in virtualbox is adding a firewall in it too, to shield the internal network from the external network, allowing you to specifically pass traffic based on ports and rules.
Either use the VirtualBox NAT settings to open the ports you need, or change it from NAT to a different kind of network.

A: From my personal experience with VirtualBox, and loading many different Linux ISOs, I am pretty sure that the NAT connection type should allow everything outbound unless you have specified otherwise in the "Advanced" > "Port forwarding" section.
You might also want to check that enp0s3 is configured properly as well.
If all else fails, a re-install might be in order.

A: After investigating, the root cause is since my corporation use proxy to access network, so the CentOS in VirtualBox also need adding proxy in configuration files:
(1) Adding the following lines in /etc/environment, and restart machine:
http_proxy="http://proxysrv:8080/"
https_proxy="https://proxysrv:8080/"

Or add them in bash configuration file.
(2) Also need to add into /etc/yum.conf:
proxy="http://proxysrv:8080/"

Laughter trickled into the cool air of the wide open sky that watched over a frozen desert. What once was a place filled with warm sand and lapping waves, now resembled an empty tundra.
The girl couldn't help but laugh along with them.
Her Change had been successful. At the market, she'd picked the one she'd liked, and they'd pulled her into the back room so she could Change. The procedure took an eighth of the time that it took the original. Now, all they had to do was pull off her chip from the base behind her ear and place it on the new base.
She no longer wore the black tank top and jeans. They were long gone. Instead she had on a bright yellow blouse. Instead, she felt so much happier.
She watched as her friends ran ahead of her, their arms in the air as they sprinted towards the frozen edge of the ocean. She wondered if the ocean was just as frozen down below as it was on top. She also questioned how such a thing could have happened, with the tides and everything. The scientists probably had some explanation. Somebody must have some explanation.
She could care less. Right now, the cold air surrounding her made her feel alive. She would regret coming out in such few layers soon, but right now, her adrenaline was rushing. All of theirs was. The beach was just outside the realm of the Equator, hence why it didn't experience the same slightly cool climate as inside the Equator. That was something else she didn't understand: the Equator's ability to even keep itself at a decent temperature while the rest of the world perished.
Things sometimes just didn't make sense.
They had been right. She did feel happier now. She felt like a new person.
She had a new mindset. Her friends saw it. They all had been overjoyed when she'd finally come to meet up with them again. Overjoyed and understanding.
But not only that. Her old self was tall and blonde. She had sparkling green eyes and calloused hands from her short time fighting for survival in the wild. It had been a tough Change to make, since it was her first, but she'd done it. It was always hard to leave things behind, especially when they were extremely important to you. But she did leave it behind, and she did it for the good of everyone in the Equator's society.
She'd left that overused, tall, blonde body in the back room of the store she'd Changed at.
Then, she'd had her chip placed on the base of a new one, a pale skinned red-head, with freckles, a girl, gone from the world, but only now reanimated. Reanimated with a different soul.
She'd found herself a new body.

Allstate loses over $2 Billion in period between April and May
Allstate Corp., has announced that in the two month span between April and May, its catastrophe losses were greater than $2 billion.
According to Allstate, which is the biggest publically traded home and auto insurance company in the United States, the losses within these two months matched that of their losses for the entire 2010 year – which totaled $2.21 billion. This was primarily the result of massive devastation due to severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
In fact, April and May 2011 have now become one of the worst two-month periods in the history of the company. It ranks in the same category as other devastating events such as the 1992 Hurricane Andrew disaster and the 1994 Northridge California earthquake.
This year, the pretax April losses for Allstate were reported to be $1.4 billion. May then brought another $600 million in losses due to seven more catastrophes. April was the first time that Allstate started reporting its disaster losses every month. This was in response to analysts who had been urging the insurer to provide greater exposure disclosure.
According to AIR Worldwide, a risk modeling agency, the worst week in late May alone is estimated to have generated catastrophe losses of between $4 billion and $7 billion overall within the insurance industry. They added that the two severe tornado events within the United States in April and May were the most expensive in history.
For April and May, Travelers Companies Inc., another leading insurance company, announced that its losses totaled at least $1 billion and that this would lead to a slowdown in share buybacks due to second-quarter operating losses.

If you need down and dirty reporting in your VB data application, the Data Report control provides a great way to offer quick reports. However, when you use this tool, make certain you reference the correct DLL. As reported in the Microsoft Knowledge base, Visual Basic contains two DLLs for the Data Report: Msdbrpt.dll and Msdbrptr.dll. When you build a report layout at design-time, you use the Msdbrpt.dll. However, for your application users to view and print the report, your compiled code will need the Msdbrptr.dll library, (the run-time DLL). Also keep in mind that when you add the Data Report component to your project through the Add Components dialog box, VB installs the design-time version of the DLL. To ensure that you have the proper reference, manually check the file names in the References dialog box. The main list of references will display two Microsoft Data Report Designer 6.0 options, so check the Location paths to determine the design-time from the run-time version.

Q: Basic questions about ontology manipulation My questions are probably very basic, but they are fundamental for me since they put all puzzles together.
1) As I understand, ontologies (*.owl) might be either "empty" (without data, i,e, without individuals) or they may involve both the relations between classes and linked data. Is it correct?
2) I downloaded a famous gene_ontology.owl, which seems to contain both data and meta-structure. How can I start creating SPARQL queries? The queries always specify endpoints, classes names, etc. e.g. PREFIX  dcore:  <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>. Where do I get all these titles for particular ontology? Should I try to figure out all the titles using e.g. Protégé or is there any "automatic" way to create queries?

Justia › US Law › Case Law › Washington Case Law › Washington Supreme Court Decisions › 1964 › Ritter v. Shotwell
Ritter v. Shotwell
C.H. RITTER, Respondent, v. J.G. SHOTWELL et al., Appellants.[*]
The Supreme Court of Washington, Department Two.
*602 Allen, DeGarmo & Leedy, for appellants.
Hullin, Ehrlichman, Carroll & Roberts, for respondent.
DAWSON, J.[†]
C.H. Ritter, an agent of the United Pacific Insurance Company, brought this action to recover the unpaid balance of a premium, the consideration for a performance bond issued by his principal. The bond was written to insure performance of a contract awarded to J.G. Shotwell, a defendant, by the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior of the United States, for supplying pozzolan at the site of the Glen Canyon Dam and Power Plant, Glen Canyon Unit, Arizona-Utah Middle River Division, Colorado River Storage Project, at an agreed price.[1] The performance bond was in the amount of $1,254,000. Mr. Ritter was granted judgment against J.G. Shotwell and Alice Shotwell, a marital community, and J.G. Shotwell, Inc., an indemnitor, in the amount of the prayer. They appeal.
Was a valid rate applied in computing the premium? Succinctly stated, this is the sole issue. Certain assignments of error touching the admission of evidence and findings, which we consider immaterial need not be considered by us in our disposition.
Pozzolan is a product primarily manufactured from volcanic ash.[2] It is said that, in some of its properties, it is superior to Portland cement. Because pozzolan has but recently been put to use, the problems of supply were not known to the underwriters. It became necessary to secure detailed underwriting facts before the rate could be determined. *603 Mr. Shotwell advised the insurer that he had acquired approved deposits of the volcanic ash in sufficient amount in the vicinity of the project, that he intended to install a crushing and drying plant, dig and manufacture pozzolan, provide necessary precautions in storage for the finished product, and then deliver to the site, in compliance with the supply contract.
Pozzolan was not classified in United Pacific's rate manual filed and in force at the time in question. In its rate manual index, approximately 400 subjects are listed in the contract section under five general classifications. The underwriter applied the rate provided in the classification of class A contracts.[3]
Appellants maintain that the rate listed under the classification of supply contracts, which is substantially lower than the class A rate, was applicable, because the bond risk arose from a supply contract. Respondent maintains that the rate manual is an adaptation by United Pacific of a determination by the Surety Association of America from statistical and other information; that there is no pretext of detailing each factual application where the risks are not known and there is no cost experience available. In such cases, it is argued, the rate must be determined by expert comparison and analysis.
Our code does not attempt to fix the rates covering surety insurance. A performance bond is presently defined as "surety insurance." RCW 48.11.080. "Premium rates for insurance shall not be excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory...." RCW 48.19.020. Uniformity of rates among insurers is not required. RCW 48.19.030(5). Rates shall be filed, and all modifications, and shall be followed in computing premiums. RCW 48.19.040.
[1] Page C-13 of the manual applies to supply contracts. Fifty-one articles subject to the supply rate are listed. (Obviously, the list is not intended to be exclusive of other risks.) Pozzolan is not named, and only two items are even *604 remotely related to it. One is "Concrete or Cement (mixed) furnishing and delivering." The other item is "Stone, crushed." It is common knowledge that both are available on the open market and the risks of supply are well known. Neither material is comparable, for the court found that pozzolan cannot be readily obtained on the market; it must be supplied by the method of digging, manufacturing, and then storing and delivering under certain rigid precautions.
It is true that fly ash, which is neither dug nor manufactured, has somewhat similar properties. However, it is darker in color, and it was not found that fly ash would have been acceptable or available on the market in sufficient quantities to fill the supply contract requirements. Thus, it would be unrealistic to close one's eyes to the obvious increased risk involved in writing a surety bond for the supplying of pozzolan under the circumstances. It would seem arbitrary to apply the supply contract rate, regardless of risk, and regardless of the fact that pozzolan was not classified. Such a premise is not within the statutory contemplation, for RCW 48.19.030 (2) (b) provides:
"... Classification rates may be modified to produce rates for individual risks in accordance with rating plans which establish standards for measuring variations in hazards or expense provisions, or both. Such standards may measure any differences among risks that can be demonstrated to have a probable effect upon losses or expenses."
It shall also take into account RCW 48.19.030(3) (a), past and prospective loss experience; RCW 48.19.030(3) (c), a reasonable margin for underwriting profit and contingencies; RCW 48.19.030(3) (e), all other relevant factors.
The record does not disclose how the variation in risk was actually measured. Suffice it to observe that there was no pretension that the premium was excessive, in view of the risk purchased, or discriminatory. The court approved the rate by drawing an analogy from a section in the rate manual covering supply contracts. The item "Stone, crushed" is subject to a qualification, which we paraphrase: When the materials to be supplied for a specific job must be procured from a quarry, sand or gravel pit alongside the *605 project, the higher class A rate shall apply. We presume, with fallible tests at best, the risk is deemed increased by limiting the source of supply to a specific pit. We agree with appellants that this proviso does not encompass pozzolan, even though, by comparison, it is obvious there are more unknown factors affecting the risk assumed in the instant case than is the case of the roadside pit for, after all, "Stone, crushed" is available in the market.
We feel no compulsion to fit the cost of the risk into the rate manual by constrictive or other process. Simply stated, there was a void in the manual. The supplying of pozzolan was never contemplated, and the insurer was not required to accept a risk for an inadequate compensation.
In United States Fidelity & Guar. Co. v. Anderson Constr. Co., 260 F. (2d) 172, after pointing out that numerous sections of the Washington code do not apply to surety insurance (RCW 48.18.140, 48.18.180, 48.18.080, 48.30.170, 48.18.190), it is stated that the "rate filing" sections (RCW 48.19.040, 48.19.050, and 48.19.280) applicable to surety insurance, "... are really administrative penalties to enforce a specified line of conduct among the regulated companies...." After pointing out the peculiar characteristics of the applicable statutes, the court then concluded that a departure from the manual rate was enforceable. The court said (p. 177):
"The clauses which relate to companies writing surety insurance contracts and which relate to such contracts apparently are inept to avoid the oral contract...."
(Cites Way v. Pacific Lbr. & Tbr. Co., 74 Wash. 332, 133 Pac. 595.)
It is difficult to criticize these case results, assuming that the premiums were not "excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory." The true measuring stick is aptly stated in Richards, Law of Insurance (5th ed.) p. 220, note 16:
"... the rates charged by insurance companies should be reasonable, adequate, and fair. They should be reasonable so that the insured is not overcharged; adequate so that the insurer is financially able to furnish sound insurance and to meet its obligations; and fair so that the rates do not ... treat equals unequally...."
*606 The trial court found that appellants had agreed to pay the premium as computed. Negotiations had extended over several months, including the issuance and payment of premium for a bid bond. Fully informed and advised discussions included the probable classification of the risk. Mr. Shotwell did not categorically deny that he had been informed of the rate which was to be applied before he made application for the performance bond. These circumstances were in a periphery which placed the trial court in an advantageous position to weigh and evaluate evidence. We do not question the finding.
Other avenues were open to appellants. If time had not been of the essence, there could have been an insistence that the rate manual be supplemented, or appellants, on a competitive basis, could have gone elsewhere. The alternative resorted to by the parties was a meeting of the minds as to risk, coverage, and a rate not shown to be offensive to the statutory test against excessiveness, inadequacy, or discrimination. This propels the matter of rates into the field of private contract.
Sans regulatory features, the general rule is well stated in Isaacson Iron Works v. Ocean Acc. & Guarantee Corp., 191 Wash. 221, 229, 70 P. (2d) 1026:
"... In any event, unless it appears from the evidence that the premium paid is grossly out of line in consideration of the coverage, the cost of the insurance is a matter for the parties to determine...."
[2] It is obvious that the private contract violated regulations of the insurance code. However, we have found no provision in the code which would nullify their act. Indeed, such provision would seem burdensome in the field of surety insurance, unless underwriting can keep abreast of scientific uses and techniques as applied by modern technology. It would seem that the established rule should be applied that "... a contract which violates a statutory regulation of business is not void unless made so by the terms of the act." Way v. Pacific Lbr. & Tbr. Co., 74 Wash. 332, 133 Pac. 595; Lane v. Henry, 80 Wash. 172, 141 Pac. 365; Yakima Lodge No. 53, Knights of Pythias v. Schneider, 173 *607 Wash. 639, 24 P. (2d) 103; Fleetham v. Schneekloth, 52 Wn. (2d) 176, 324 P. (2d) 429.
For the reasons announced, we have concluded that the rights of the parties are to be measured by their own agreement. The judgment is therefore affirmed.
OTT, C.J., DONWORTH, FINLEY, and WEAVER, JJ., concur.

We are located at beautiful Swaha Lodge & Marina but we will pick up at any marina on the lake!
Call them what you will - crappy, white perch, specks, sacalait, calico bass papermouths or whatever - we like catching them and love eating them!
But most of all, we enjoy taking folks out on the water to "unwind" and spend quality time making memories with their family and friends while they catch a good "mess" of crappie.
While fishing for crappie we often catch black bass, white bass, bluegill, catfish, an occasional striper or walleye and a few other species.
I guide out of a very stable, safe and comfortable 22' Blue Wave Center Console Bay Boats powered by 200-horsepower four-stroke motors and equipped with Jig Poles and Crappie Rods from BnM Poles.
I guide out of Swaha Lodge & Marina and recommend their cottages for your lodging needs.

Bottled drinking water, crackers, life jackets, bait and tackle are provided but you're welcome to bring your own tackle and favorite snacks and beverages if you wish. Sandwiches, pizza, beverages, ice and snacks are available at the marina.
We're never far from clean bathrooms and we'll take bathroom breaks whenever needed.
Fish that you want to keep are filleted and packaged for you.
My boat can accommodate up to four adults(or bodies) and (or up to 1,100-pounds maximum weight) with plenty of room for everyone to fish comfortably. I offer half-day and full-day trips.
Half-day trips are $350 for one or two anglers plus $25 for each additional adult and last about 5-hours including time for pictures and filleting fish.
Full-day trips are $500 for one or two anglers plus $50 for each additional adult and last about 8-hours including time for pictures and filleting fish.
There are no additional taxes or charges for fuel, bait, tackle, supplies, drinking water or snacks.
If you're not sure whether you want a half-day or full-day trip you can decide after you see how the trip is going and talk it over with your guide.

GABAA receptor sites modulating catecholamine secretion in the rat adrenal gland: evidence from 3H-muscimol autoradiography and in vivo functional studies.
The occurrence and distribution of specific 3H-muscimol binding sites, most probably identical with A type gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, were studied in sections of the rat adrenal gland by light microscope autoradiography. Specific binding was found primarily in the adrenal medulla, in association with chromaffin cells. A limited number of binding sites was also observed within the adrenal cortex. In urethane-anaesthetized hexamethonium-pretreated rats, intravenous GABA produced a set of 'excitatory' cardiovascular effects (increase in heart rate, force of contraction and blood pressure) which were mimicked by intravenous muscimol but not by intravenous baclofen, and were antagonized by pretreatment with bicuculline. The cardiovascular excitatory effects of intravenous GABA were unaffected by reserpine pretreatment, markedly reduced by administration of phentolamine plus propranolol, and almost completely abolished by adrenalectomy. Our findings indicate the presence of GABA receptor sites on adrenal chromaffin cells, whose excitation can produce changes in cardiovascular function.

Each year the students and staff elect a Head Girl and prefect team. The Head Girl Team includes the Head Girl, two Deputy Head Girls and a team of Prefects. These students play an integral role in the running of the school working with younger students as well as organising and supporting school events. The Head Girl Team represents the school at both in school and out of school events. They are excellent ambassadors for the school.
Our Head Girl Team gives perspective on life at The Ladies' College:
"Since joining the Ladies' College in 2017, there has not been a day in which I do not feel welcomed and supported in the college community. It is a huge honour to be Head Girl, and I am extremely excited to work with the other senior prefects to have an impactful and meaningful year. The Ladies' College is truly special, and as we approach the commemoration of 150 years since the opening of the college, I am reflecting on the incredible women that have been to the Ladies' College and how lucky I am to be a member of a community steeped in such rich history. The Ladies' College experience is one like no other and along with fabulous academics there are extensive programs of extra curricular activities to support every girl's learning. From house events to high level sport, there really is something for everyone to get involved in.
The opportunities in college are endless and I urge any current or prospective student to take these opportunities with open arms. Time really does fly and before you know it you will be standing in the foyer on the first day of your last year! I will cherish my time at the Ladies' College for the rest of my life, and I can't wait for what will be an incredibly rewarding year."
- Daisy (Head Girl, 2021-22)
"I feel so honoured to have been awarded the role of Deputy Head Girl this year and am so grateful to be able to give back to the school after everything it has given me.
Not only does The Ladies' College provide an excellent education, it also offers so many opportunities: from extracurricular activities such as music, drama, sport and art; to enrichment experiences, like MOOT, TEFL, Work Experience, Young Enterprise, Duke of Edinburgh scheme; and so many more. These give each student the tools to continue on to achieve great things!
The main piece of advice I would give to members of the lower years and anyone planning on joining the Ladies' College would be: to immerse yourself into all the opportunities given; take advantage of the remarkable support that each member of staff offers; and make the most of your time at the Ladies' College as it will fly by.
When students leave they have the opportunity to join the Ladies' College Guild where they can maintain the amazing relationships formed throughout their time here, with both the school and friends."
- Rachel (Deputy Head Girl, 2021-22)
"As I embark on my final year as Deputy Head Girl of The Ladies' College, I am driven by excitement and caution, but primarily with the ambition to succeed and have fun along the way. I am honoured and beyond proud to have been awarded this role and have the opportunity to leave behind a legacy that represents all the incredible values that the school has taught me over the past six years and continues to in my final year. It feels like only yesterday I was stood, staring up at our school, a stranger to most of the teachers and my peers, but I was soon swept up and embraced by the community that is the heart of the school. The opportunities I have been presented with over the years, from hockey tours to Eisteddfod performances has been numerous and have always been focused around having fun and including all, whilst highlighting how important it is to have the drive to perform your best. If I had one piece of advice for a pupil lower down the school, or embarking on their first year, it would be, regardless of how much experience you have, immerse yourself in every opportunity that you are presented with, because the support that you will receive from the staff is unmatched and I will forever be grateful for the support I have received so far."
- Katrina (Deputy Head Girl, 2021-22)
