Q: Dragging image within a boundary using jQuery I am trying to make an image draggable in a boundary using jQuery but I can only drag it vertically. How can I freely drag it within a boundary?

$("#map").draggable({
  containment: 'parent'
});

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css">

A:
I can only drag it vertically.

That's because the div element is a block level element with a width of 100% of the parent element. Since the #map element has the same width as the #parent element, it can't be dragged vertically.

How can I freely drag it within a boundary?

If you want the #map element to have a width based on the child img element, just change the display of the element to inline-block so that it has a "shrink-to-fit" width.
Updated Example:

$("#map").draggable({
  containment: 'parent'
});
#parent {
  width: 800px;
  height: 700px;
  border: 1px solid;
}
#map {
  display: inline-block;
}
#map img {
  width: 500px;
  height: 350px;
}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css">


Aubergines are great for stuffing and this recipe combines scooped-out aubergine flesh with a vegetarian mince to create a rich filling, all served in a baked aubergine shell. This vegetarian recipe can be adapted for people with chewing or swallowing problems by blending ingredients to the required consistency.
1.Preheat the oven to 150°C.
2.Dice the onion, paprika, courgettes and the mushrooms.
3.Cut the aubergines in half lengthwise, remove the flesh of one half and dice. Add to the other the vegetable mixture.
4.Brush the inside of the hollowed aubergine with olive oil and place in a buttered oven dish.
5. Cook the halved aubergine in the oven for 15 minutes.
1.Fry the diced vegetables in heated olive oil until glazed.
2.Add the quorn mince and season with salt and pepper. Add Provençale herbs or Provençale taste-booster and chopped garlic. Stir well.
3.Add the tomato purée, stir well and add the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil while stirring.
4.Immerse half a lemon (with skin) to the bottom of the cooking pan and leave to simmer for 20 minutes on a low heat.
5.Cook the quinoa according to instructions on the package.
Replace the quorn mince with seitan or tofu for alternative vegetarian options. Or use pork or poultry mince for a meat dish.
Use the hollowed baked aubergine as a 'serving mould': stuff with quinoa, add a layer of mixed ratatouille and top off with the ground quorn mince. Drizzle with the creamy ratatouille juice.
1.Remove the half lemon out of the sauce.
2. Add the diced tomato and bring to the boil while stirring. Leave to simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes.
3. Season with salt and pepper, Provençale taste-booster or green pesto and take off the heat.
4. Fill the hollowed aubergine with the ratatouille.
5. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the filling and serve.
1. Take the required volume of prepared ratatouille from the cooking pan and leave to drain in a sieve.
2. Heat the ratatouille juice and thicken to sauce consistency with an instant binder.
3. Mash, crush or mix the ratatouille to consistency level required.
4. Use the cream sauce for moistening at level 5, 4 and 3.
5. Per portion of quinoa, fry 50g quorn mince golden brown in olive oil, season with 1 teaspoon Provençale tastebooster or herb mix. Here too, use the creamy ratatouille juice for crushing or mixing the mince.

The spreadsheet is probably one of the most widely used PC applications — and for good reason: Spreadsheets make it very easy to perform calculations and other operations on tabular data. But spreadsheets pose some risks as well: They're easy to corrupt and very difficult to debug. The good news is, you can use R to do many of the same things you used to do in spreadsheets.
One task that you may frequently do in a spreadsheet is calculating row or column totals. The easiest way to do this is to use the functions rowSums() and colSums(). Similarly, use rowMeans() and colMeans() to calculate means.
trim: A logical value. If FALSE, it adds spaces to right-justify the result. If TRUE, it suppresses the leading spaces.
digits: How many significant digits of numeric values to show.
nsmall: The minimum number of digits after the decimal point.
In addition, you control the format of the decimal point with decimal.mark, the mark between intervals before the decimal point with big.mark, and the mark between intervals after the decimal point with small.mark.
Notice that the result is no longer a number but a text string. So, be careful when you use number formatting — this should be the last step in your reporting workflow.
If you're familiar with programming in languages similar to C or C++, then you also may find the sprintf() function useful. This wrapper allows you to paste your formatted number directly into a string.
This is what it does: The first argument to sprintf() indicates the format — in this case, "%.1f %%". The format argument uses special literals that indicate that the function should replace this literal with a variable and apply some formatting. The literals always start with the % symbol. So, in this case, %.1f means to format the first supplied value as a fixed point value with one digit after the decimal point, and %% is a literal that means print a %.
What happens here is that, because you supplied two vectors (each with two elements) to sprintf(), your result is a vector with two elements. R cycles through the elements and places them into the sprintf() literals.
You can do everything with paste() and format() that you can do with sprintf(), so you don't really ever need to use it. But when you do, it can simplify your code.
To sort data in R, you use the sort() or order() functions.
Spreadsheets give you the ability to perform all kinds of "What if?" analyses. One way of doing this is to use the if() function in a spreadsheet.
R also has the if() function, but it's mostly used for flow control in your scripts. Because you typically want to perform a calculation on an entire vector in R, it's usually more appropriate to use the ifelse() function.
Something else that you probably did a lot in Excel is calculating conditional sums and counts with the functions sumif() and countif().
Simply calculate the measure of interest on a subset of your data.
You also can use t() to transpose data frames, but be careful when you do this. The result of a transposition is always a matrix (or array). Because arrays always have only one type of variable, such as numeric or character, the variable types of your results may not be what you expect.
Sometimes you want to know which values of your data are duplicates. Depending on your situation, those duplicates will be valid, but sometimes duplicate entries may indicate data-entry problems.
In a spreadsheet application like Excel, you can create lookup tables with the functions vlookup or a combination of index and match.
In R, it may be convenient to use merge() or match(). The match() function returns a vector with the positions of elements that match your lookup value.
In R, the optimize() function provides one fairly simple mechanism for optimizing functions.

Microsoft Announces Conformance To OpenChain 2.1 (ISO/IEC 5230)
By Shane CoughlanFebruary 1, 2021Featured, News
Today, the OpenChain Project announced Microsoft's conformance to OpenChain 2.1 (ISO/IEC 5230), the International Standard for open source license compliance. This standard defines the key requirements of a quality open source compliance program, and helps to both reduce errors and increase efficiency across the global supply chain.
"Microsoft has been intimately involved in guided ISO/IEC 5230 from de facto industry standard to formal International Standard," says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. "Their adoption of OpenChain 2.1 underscores their continued commitment to excellence not only in software but also its management throughout the supply chain. We look forward to collaborating with Microsoft partners and customers in their own journeys to conformance in the coming weeks and months."
"Microsoft sees ISO/IEC 5230 as a critical part of the management of open source in commercial relationships," says David Rudin, Assistant General Counsel, Microsoft. "The OpenChain standard provides a clear, effective and universally suitable framework for open source license compliance. The use of this standard both simplifies and improves any transaction between two parties regarding open source software."
About the OpenChain Project
OpenChain began when a group of open source compliance professionals met in a conference lounge and chatted about how so much duplicative, redundant open source license compliance work was being done inefficiently in the software supply chain simply. They realized that while each company did the same work behind the scenes in a different manner the output for downstream recipients could not realistically be relied on because there was no visibility into the process that generated the output.
The answer the early principles of this discussion arrived at was to standardize open source compliance, make it transparent and build trust across the ecosystem. The project began as outreach to the community with the idea of a new standard for open source license compliance with slides titled, "When Conformity is Innovative." A growing community quickly recognized the value of this approach and contributed to the nascent collaboration soon named The OpenChain Project.

A police roadside check Saturday night near Waukegan resulted in one damaged police vehicle and the arrests of dozens of motorists, according to authorities.
Officers from the Illinois State Police and the Lake County Sheriff's Department participated in the five-hour safety check at Lewis Avenue and Wadsworth Road, according to state police Lt. Marc Maton.
Although the majority of citations (19) were issued for alleged safety-belt violations, three drivers were charged with driving under the influence, six with not having a valid driver's license, four with operating a vehicle without insurance and two with driving with a suspended license, Maton said.
About 3 a.m., a black pickup truck traveling east on Wadsworth crossed the center line and sideswiped a sheriff's vehicle, according to Sheriff's Sgt. Fred Heidecke. Heidecke said that after striking the officer's vehicle, the truck continued east on Wadsworth. Although the squad car sustained substantial damage, no one was injured in the incident, said Heidecke, who added that police have not found the pickup driver.


If you want to burn more fat, improve your fitness, and ramp up your metabolism, try doing kettlebell jumps at the end of your workout. While there are a variety ways that you can use this exercise, we like the approach offered up by Men's Health fitness advisor Bill Hartman, PT, CSCS. Simply do a kettlebell jumps quickly for about 10 seconds—interspersed with about 50 seconds of rest—for a total of 8 to 10 minutes. This is sort of like doing eight to ten 100-yard sprint intervals, but without the need for a track. That makes this kettlebell jump routine great for burning calories during your workout as well as boosting your post-exercise metabolism. Which is why Hartman refers to this kettlebell routine as a "metabolic accelerator." Ready to try it? Watch the video above to learn how to do kettlebell jumps with perfect form.

Ambrogio Traversari, O.S.B. Cam., também Ambrósio, dito Camaldulense (; ) foi um presbítero, teólogo e humanista italiano, prior geral dos camaldulenses. Considerado santo pelos camaldulenses.

Biografia
Traversari nasceu perto de Forlì, na vila de Portico di Romagna. Na idade de quatorze anos, entrou para a Ordem dos camaldulenses, no mosteiro de Santa Maria degli Angeli, em Florença, e rapidamente se tornou um importante teólogo e helenista. Em literatura grega seu mestre foi Manuel Crisoloras. Tornou-se prior geral da Ordem em 1431, e foi um dos principais defensores da primazia papal.

Essa atitude Traversari mostrou claramente quando participou do Concílio da Basileia como legado do Papa Eugênio IV, e defendeu a primazia do Pontífice romano e rogou ao concílio para que não "dividissem o manto imaculado de Cristo".

Foi em seguida enviado pelo papa para pedir a Sigismundo, Sacro Imperador Romano-Germânico, sua ajuda para que o pontífice conseguisse encerrar este concílio, que há cinco anos tinha uma postura anti-papal. O papa transferiu o concílio da Basileia para Ferrara em 18 de setembro de 1437. Neste concílio, e mais tarde, no de Florença, Traversari, por seus esforços e caridade para com alguns bispos pobres gregos, muito contribuiu para a união das duas Igrejas, resultando na Bula de União da Igreja Católica com a Igreja Ortodoxa Grega, de 6 de junho de 1439, que ele ajudou a elaborar. Morreu logo após.

Obras
Suas obras são um tratado sobre a Santa Eucaristia, um sobre a processão do Espírito Santo, muitas vidas de santos, uma história de seu generalato dos camaldulenses. Traduziu também do grego para o latim a vida de Crisóstomo (Veneza, 1533); a Sabedoria Espiritual de João Mosco; A Escada da Divina Ascensão de João Clímaco (Veneza, 1531), P.G., LXXXVIII.

Entre 1424 e 1433 trabalhou na tradução das Vidas e Opiniões de Filósofos Eminentes de Diógenes Laércio, que circulou amplamente em forma de manuscrito e foi publicado em Roma, em 1472 (a primeira edição impressa das Vidas; o texto grego foi impresso somente em 1533).

Traversari traduziu também quatro livros contra a doutrina grega ortodoxa, de Manuel Kalekas, um monge dominicano grego (Ingolstadt, 1608), P.G., CLII, col. 13-661, uma obra conhecida apenas através da tradução de Traversari. Traduziu também muitas homilias de São João Crisóstomo; o tratado do Pseudo-Dionísio, o Areopagita, sobre a hierarquia celeste; o tratado de São Basílio sobre a virgindade; trinta e nove discursos de Santo Efrém da Síria, e muitas outras obras de pais e escritores da Igreja grega. As Cartas e Orações de Santo Ambrósio de Camáldoli, de Dom Mabillon, foram publicadas em Florença, em 1759.

George Washington's Bioterrorism Strategy
by Garance Franke-Ruta December 1, 2001 January 9, 2022
I soon learned the vaccination would not be a simple procedure. It would most likely lead to a fever, flu-like symptoms, and an oozing sore on my arm that could take four weeks to heal. More importantly, because it involved being infected with a small dose of a living organism—the procedure for so-called "live-virus" vaccines—I would become infectious. If I wasn't careful, I could transmit cowpox to any pregnant women or immune-suppressed people I shook hands with or hugged hello. Wearing a bandage on my arm for four weeks would reduce that risk, but not eliminate it.
I declined the offer. It seemed messy, complicated, and largely pointless. By the time my sore had healed, I would no longer even be working in the lab. Besides, I didn't want to inadvertently give anyone a case of cowpox.
By page 17 of Elizabeth Fenn's book on the great smallpox epidemic of 1775, I began to regret my decision. By page 74, with anthrax attacks on the rise, I sent out a panicky e-mail to my old boss to see if his lab still had any vaccine available. (They didn't.) And by the time I finished Pox Americana, rattled Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge had ordered 300 million new doses of smallpox vaccine to protect the nation, which had abandoned universal inoculation in 1972. Since early October, four Americans have died of inhalation anthrax, more than 20 sites across my city have been contaminated, and my doorman—who spends afternoons sorting bulk mail from D.C.'s Brentwood facility for 271 apartments—spent ten miserable days dizzy and sick from taking Cipro. A bioterrorist attack with smallpox—vials of which U.S. intelligence believes may be in the hands of various rogue nations—no longer seemed so farfetched.
The same reluctance that I once felt, and many still feel, about getting vaccinated, is now a hot topic of debate in Congress and (one hopes) inside the White House. Overcoming that reluctance and producing enough vaccine to protect the nation may be one of the keys to winning the war on terrorism, and saving countless lives. If so, it won't be the first time smallpox, and government's response to it, shapes the course of the nation. As Fenn's extraordinary book points out, during the War of Independence, more men died of smallpox than musket fire. The British may even have used the virus as a weapon. And George Washington's secret decision to inoculate his troops was crucial to winning the war.
Fenn's book opens in 1751, with a 19-year-old Washington contracting smallpox while visiting his brother in Barbados. In his diary, he records the event on Nov. 17, "Was strongly attacked with the small Pox." Not until Dec. 12 did he make another entry. "Rare was the diarist who kept writing through the throes of smallpox," notes Fenn. "The void in Washington's diary … speaks of a misery commonplace in years gone by but unfamiliar to the world today."
Victims of smallpox showed no symptoms until 12 days after infection, at which point they began to suffer from "pre-eruptive symptoms": severe headaches, excruciating backaches, fever, nausea, and malaise. Soon the telltale pustules (pus-filled blisters) began to form, first inside the mouth and nose, then on the face, neck, back, forearms, and feet. Patients were often wracked with severe anxiety, a symptom that did not bode well. Some—particularly Native Americans—died during this stage, without ever developing pustules. Others developed confluent smallpox, a condition with a 60 percent mortality rate in which the pustules ran into each other and sloughed off in great rotten sheets of skin. Hemorrhagic smallpox, a rarer form involved massive internal bleeding and was almost uniformly fatal. Even without these complications, smallpox often killed around one-third of its victims. Mortality was higher among infants, the elderly, the poorly nourished, or those, like the 18th-century Native Americans, who lived in genetically homogenous communities. Good nursing care during the month-long affliction markedly improved survival, but required the existence of already immune caretakers.
From the very beginning, attempts to prevent the spread of smallpox in North America were controversial. Puritan minister Cotton Mather's house was firebombed in 1721 after he convinced Dr. Zabdiel Boylston to inoculate the uninfected during a smallpox outbreak in Boston. Often credited with introducing inoculation to America, Mather learned the procedure from his "Coromantee" slave, Onesimus. Inoculation had been widespread in Asia and Africa, but was largely unknown among Europeans until the early 18th century. New Englanders developed a particular hatred of the procedure and banned it in most towns. (Edward Jenner's cowpox vaccine, the precursor of today's, was not invented until 1796.)
Inoculation—a primitive and risky form of live-virus vaccination that involved intentionally giving individuals a mild case of smallpox to prevent them from acquiring a more deadly form "the natural way"—was a double-edged sword. Inoculees gained immunity but also became temporarily infectious and could easily spark outbreaks unless quarantined for the duration of their induced illness. Far too often, the early Americans were loath to allow such infringements on their "liberty," writes Fenn, and the infectious inoculees—including such historical notables as Abigail Adams—would circulate freely, leaving a trail of disease in their wake. Inoculation was also a class issue. The procedure was expensive, and during their infectious period, the rich often transmitted their affliction to the uninoculated poor, who couldn't afford the procedure.
When the War of Independence broke out in 1775, the Continental Army at first dug in its heels and forbade inoculation for fear of spreading the disease and incapacitating the fighting forces. "The Surgeons of the Army are forbid, under the severest penalty, to inoculate any person," according to General Benedict Arnold's February 1776 orders. Officers found submitting to inoculation would be "immediately cashiered" and privates "punished at the discretion of a Court-Martial." Yet troops were so desperate to avoid the scourge that they'd inoculate themselves in secret with pinpricks under their nails.
In Europe and England, smallpox was endemic, and people usually caught it during their youths, when they were most likely to survive the infection. (Those infected between ages five and 14 have the lowest mortality rate.) With the bulk of its army thus rendered naturally immune, the British did not need to worry about either seizing smallpox-infested towns or inoculating the small percentage of its forces not infected as children.
The Americans soon learned they could scarcely battle two enemies at once—smallpox and the British. The disastrous experience of the siege of Quebec in 1775, when smallpox ravaged up to one-third of the assembled Americans, began to change the Americans' minds about inoculation. Captain Lemuel Roberts concisely captured the problem during the retreat from Quebec by boat: "My pock had become so sore and troublesome that my clothes stuck fast to my body, especially my feet; and it became a severe trial of my fortitude, to bear my disorder and assist in managing the boat."
Wave after wave of smallpox decimated the soldiers during the first two years of the war. New recruits would come down with the disease immediately upon enlistment, and thousands of potential fighters stayed away for fear of infection. By the winter of 1777 (the winter of Valley Forge), Gen. George Washington made a momentous decision to inoculate all new recruits and finally halt the pestilence's progress. The inoculation campaign had to be conducted with great secrecy. Though it would protect soldiers in the long run and decrease fear of enlistment, it would also incapacitate large numbers for weeks at a time, rendering the Continentals vulnerable to assault. Ultimately, however, it became clear that the spread of smallpox through the ranks presented a graver threat to the army—and would kill more individuals—than the Redcoats. Recruits were quarantined in camps and inoculated before being sent out to fight.
"Washington's unheralded and little-recognized resolution to inoculate the Continental forces must surely rank with the most important decisions of the war," writes Fenn. "The general had outflanked his enemy".
After the inoculations were complete, the Continentals were able to fight at full strength without fear of the epidemic. This was critically important in the Southern campaign in the final years of the war. Irregular militias refused to march on Charleston, South Carolina, to retake the town because smallpox was loose there. But an inoculated army of soldiers paid to fight was able to engage in battles that had scared off the militias—and to withstand the British attempts at biological warfare that preceded the surrender at Yorktown.
One of the saddest episodes of the war involved Virginia's Ethiopian regiment, comprised entirely of Loyalist blacks and escaped slaves promised freedom for fighting with the British. "Within these days past, I have marched by 18 or 20 Negroes that lay dead by the way-side, putrifying with the small pox," wrote a Connecticut soldier pursuing the British eastward from Richmond in the summer of 1781. "These poor creatures, having no care taken of them, many crawl'd into the bushes about & died, where they lie infecting the air around with an intolerable stench & great danger." The Americans believed this abandonment was a deliberate attempt to infect the Continentals. "The British have sent from Yorktown a large number of Negroes, sick with the small pox," wrote one eyewitness. "Lord Cornwallis's attempt to spread the smallpox among the inhabitants in the vicinity of York, has been reduced to a certainty and must render him contemptible in the eyes of every civilized nation," opined the Pennsylvania Gazette.
Thomas Jefferson later estimated that of 30,000 Virginia slaves who joined the British in search of liberty, "about 27,000 died of the small pox and camp fever."
The scourge did not end with the war. Nor was it restricted to the former British colonies along the Eastern seaboard. It struck 44,286 in Mexico City in 1779. It rewrote the balance of power for the Plains Indians, decimating the village-dwelling Arikaras and Mandans and allowing the nomadic Sioux to seize control of the prairie. In the Pacific Northwest, it attacked villages so strongly that when English captain George Vancouver led an expedition in 1792 to the area, he found village upon deserted village with "human skulls, and other bones, promiscuously scattered about."
Some sections of the latter half of Pox Americana will be of greater interest to historians than general readers. Passages cataloging in detail where the pox went and precisely whom it killed are necessary for a work of history but also get a bit dry. Meanwhile, the illustrations and pictures, though striking, often float unexplained or unconnected to the text. But these are minor quibbles. Pox Americana is a considerable achievement and an extraordinary work of history that uncovers an episode that reshaped America as surely as the War of Independence.
As for me, I signed up to do my bit for the war effort—and hopefully acquire some immunity—by trying to join the National Institutes of Health study of a diluted smallpox vaccine. (Unfortunately, I didn't make the cut.) If the study can prove that a diluted dose works, we could potentially expand our existing stock of smallpox vaccine from 15 million doses to 75 or maybe even 150 million doses—a making-the-best-of-it strategy of which George Washington would have been proud.

Crowdfunding PR Rolls Out Title III Equity Crowdfunding 2-Month Prep-Work Programs to Launch More Successful Crowdfunding Campaigns
The crowdfunding prep work program helps entrepreneurs, startups and small businesses amass a large crowd of followers on social media and utilizes PR to generate hundreds of articles on leading newspapers, TV/radio stations, trade publications and leading blogs
Austin, Texas (May 16, 2016) – Want to learn how to launch a successful Title III crowdfunding campaign on one of top 100 equity crowdfunding sites? To help crowdfunders achieve this elusive goal, Crowdfunding PR (http://crowdfundingPR.wordpress.com) announced a special two-month Crowdfunding Prep Work Program that will significantly improve a crowdfunding campaign's success rate by amplifying its founder's social media profiles and by utilizing an effective crowdfunding PR campaign to generate hundreds of stories in the electronic news media prior to the crowdfunding campaign's launch.
How to Plan a Successful Crowdfunding PR Campaigns, a Step-by-Step Process
One of the biggest challenges that most crowdfunding campaigns face are weak social media credentials and the lack of a large group of social media followers that are needed to support crowdfunding campaigns with donations and/or investments. Building strong, professional Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter profiles and amassing the largest possible group of followers on social media networks is crucial to conducting a successful crowdfunding campaign.
The second biggest task is generating stories on electronic news media outlets and blogs prior to launching a crowdfunding campaign. Not only can a well-orchestrated crowdfunding PR campaign generate hundreds of free, positive trade press articles to support the fundraising effort, but the same targeted, search engine optimized press releases will continue to drive new investors, potential customers and sales/distribution partners to the business long after the crowdfunding campaign ends.
"What many entrepreneurs and startups need to recognize is how important social media is in the world of crowdfunding," said Robert Hoskins, Crowdfunding PR's Director of Crowdfunding Campaigns. "The very first thing that an investor/donor does when they read through a crowdfunding profile they like is to look up the company and its team members on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to check out their credentials. Having a strong resume on LinkedIn, lots of likes on Facebook and an army of followers on Twitter is crucial to determining the strength of the team and the likelihood that they have the tenacity and skill set to deliver on their crowdfunding campaign's promises."
"Next, most investors/donors will do a Google search to see what they can find online for both the company and its team members," Hoskins continued. "With a two-month crowdfunding prep-work campaign there will be several pages of search engine results that link to the client's website pages, their social media posts/profiles and the crowdfunding campaign's prep pages that will point to their live fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.com, Indiegogo.com, GoFundMe.com or any of the other 2016 Top 100 Global Crowdfunding sites."
If you would like to speak with a crowdfunding PR, social media and/or marketing expert regarding your crowdfunding campaign please call Robert Hoskins at (512) 627-6622 or fill out the contact form at: https://crowdfundingpr.wordpress.com/about-crowdfunding-pr-campaigns/ to setup a telephone consultation.
Mr. Hoskins is one of the crowdfunding industry's foremost crowdfunding advocates and has amassed a huge social media following that is dedicated to supporting donation-, rewards- and equity-based crowdfunding campaigns. Due to the overwhelming demand from the general public for crowdfunding information, he empowers entrepreneurs with some of the internet's most affordable ($20) online crowdfunding training classes, which provide insight to startups around the world on a 24 x 7 basis.
Mr. Hoskins adamantly believes that the crowdfunding industry will empower everyone in the United States to rediscover the possibility of living the American dream with a little hard work, a great business idea and the dedication to researching, planning and launching a well-thought-out crowdfunding campaign. He consults on a regular basis with crowdfunding campaign managers as well as crowdfunding sites, portals and platforms to deliver successful crowdfunding marketing campaigns.

SEC's Proposed Amendments to Approve Nationwide Intrastate Crowdfunding and Raise Limit to $5 Million for Small Business
SEC's Proposed Amendments to Rule 147 and 504 to Facilitate New Intrastate Crowdfunding and the Sale of Regional Securities Offerings
SEC Staff Proposes Amendments to Securities Rules 147 and Reg. D. 504
SEC's Proposed Actions for Title III Crowdfunding
The Securities and Exchange Commission is considering whether to propose amendments to Securities Act Rule 147 and Rule 504 of Regulation D. The proposed amendments would be part of the Commission's efforts to assist smaller companies with capital formation consistent with its investor protection mission.
Proposed Title III Crowdfunding Amendments
Proposed Amendments to Rule 147
The proposed amendments would modernize Rule 147 to permit companies to raise money from investors within their state without concurrently registering the offers and sales at the federal level. The proposed amendments to Rule 147 would, among other things:
Eliminate the restriction on offers, while continuing to require that sales be made only to residents of the issuer's state or territory.
Refine what it means to be an intrastate offering and ease some of the issuer eligibility requirements in the current rule.
Limit the availability of the exemption to offerings that are registered in-state or conducted under an exemption from state law registration that limits the amount of securities an issuer may sell to no more than $5 million in a 12-month period and imposes an investment limitation on investors.
The proposed amendments to Rule 504 of Regulation D would increase the aggregate amount of securities that may be offered and sold under Rule 504 in any 12-month period from $1 million to $5 million and disqualify certain bad actors from participation in Rule 504 offerings. The proposed rules would facilitate capital formation and increase investor protection in such offerings.

How to Make Money and Create Jobs by Teaching Crowdfunding Training Classes in Your City, State or Country
Did you know that 50% of the 48 contiguous United States don't have one single crowdfunding training class? That means anyone with a marketing degree can make $49 to $399 per student teaching people how to launch crowdfunding campaigns
Austin, Texas – One thing that amazes me about the crowdfunding industry is the lack of training programs or community outreach programs that are available on a nationwide basis. There are plenty of crowdfunding professionals that offer training programs, boot camps and workshops in major metropolitan areas, but what about cities with a population of less than 500,000 people?
Teach a Crowdfunding Training Class in Your City or State to Help Small Businesses to Create New Jobs
In most cases, cities with a population of 100,000 or more people usually have a Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Council, SBA, SBDC, and/or SCORE offices that are setup specifically to help entrepreneurs and startups write business plans and find venture capital.
What surprises me the most about these organizations is that they don't offer one single local crowdfunding training class on how to use crowdfunding campaigns to raise money to get small businesses off the ground. Why is that?
There so many smart people out there that already teach business planning, business development, finance, marketing, etc. Why not include a crowdfunding training class to teach entrepreneurs how to take advantage of the growing $10 billion crowdfunding industry?
Crowdfunding training classes, boot camps and workshops are charging anywhere from $49 for online classes to $399 for onsite conference training programs? Why not roll out these revenue generating programs to rural America? Anyone familiar with the co-op business model should be able to quickly understand the concept of working with a whole community to share the cost of launching new businesses together.
Anyone with a marketing background or public speaking experience should be able to read through the standard crowdfunding educational training program and with a little practice could teach millions of Americans how to launch successful crowdfunding campaigns to raise money to start new businesses.

Q: Measuring some of the patients more than once I'm conducting a clinical study where I determine an anthropometrical measure of the patients. I know how to handle the situation where I have one measure per patient: I make a model, where I have a random sample $X_1,\dots,X_n$ from some density $f_\theta$, and I do the usual stuff: write the likelihood of the sample, estimate parameters, determine confidence sets, and test hypothesis, or even do some Bayesian analysis if the boss isn't watching. ;-)
My problem is that for some patients we have more than one measure, because we believe that it is a good idea to have more than one researcher handling the measuring device, when this is possible (some times we have just one researcher working at the clinic). Therefore, for some patients we have one measure made by one researcher, for other sample units we have two measures made by two different researchers, and so on. The measure in question is the thickness of a specific skin fold.
My question: which kind of statistical model is adequate for my problem?

A: Take a look at paper of Brennan (1992) on Generalizability Theory or his book, also titled "Generalizability Theory" (2010, Springer). Brennan writes about GT using ANOVA, but mixed models could be used the same way - and many would consider them as a more recent method.
You could think of a mixed model for cross-classified data (e.g. Raudenbush, 1993). Say you have $N$ patients measured by $R$ researchers, and your measurement is denoted as $X_{ij}$ for $i = 1,...,N$ and $j = 1,...,R$. In this case, the measurement has both effects of patients and researchers, with patients "nested" in researchers (multiple measures for a single patient) and researchers "nested" in patients (multiple measurements for each patient), so
$$ X_{ij} = \beta_0 + b_i + b_j + \varepsilon_{ij} $$
where $\beta_0$ is an fixed intercept (if the data is not centered), $b_i$ is patient random effect (random intercept) and $b_j$ is a researcher random effect, while $\varepsilon_{ij}$ is an error term. In lme4 this would be
x ~ (1|patient) + (1|researcher)
you could extend this approach to using $X$ as an independent variable or define a hierarchical Bayesian model where you include both sources of variability.

A: I will take a poke at this even though I can only provide a mathematical model, as I am a bit of a math nerd, but not a statistician.
Kalman Filters can handle state estimation with multiple-inputs and missing information.
If I had to show this to engineers, they would require me to make variability plots of measures between measuring-technicians to show there is no operator-to-operator variability.  They would treat two measurements as paired.  Stats folks are good at this.  If the operator-to-operator variability was negligible then I could formulate my data with each as a single line.

*

*[... measurement_1 ... result]

*[... measurement_2 ... result]

if only one technician made the measurement there would be only one line of data
otherwise, I would want to have an indication of operator within the data

*

*[... operatorname measurement ... result]

If you can characterize the difference each operator has on the same measurement, then you can account for it in your model.  If you don't supply an indicator of operator, when it is a significant source of variability ... that could be a problem.
The data model informs the mathematic model.  I think GLM's have had good results in these areas.  http://www.uta.edu/faculty/sawasthi/Statistics/stglm.html

A: I am also coming at this question from a different field. Regardless, it sounds to me like the purpose of having multiple people use the measuring device is to be able to account for measurement error? If I am correct in my understanding of what you are trying to do, then it sounds like a case for structural equation modeling (SEM), which would allow you to run your model free of measurement error. SEM can account for missing data if you use FIML estimation techniques, you have to make the usual assumptions about the missing data (i.e., at least missing at random). SEM models have been used increasingly in RCT settings, so I don't think it would be uncommon to use this technique. The question I'd have is: do you have enough information to make a properly identifiable SEM model?

A video encoder, or video server, makes it possible to move toward a network video system without having to discard existing analog equipment. It is ideal for integration with existing analog CCTV (closed circuit television) system. A video encoder brings new functionality to analog equipment and eliminates the need for dedicated equipment such as coaxial cabling, monitors and DVRs – the latter becoming unnecessary as video recording can be done using standard PC servers.
A video encoder typically has between one and four analog ports for analog cameras to plug into, as well as an Ethernet port for connection to the network. Like network cameras, it contains a built-in Web server, a compression chip and an operating system so that incoming analog feeds can be converted into digital video, transmitted and recorded over the computer network for easier accessibility and viewing.
Besides the video input, a video encoder also includes other functionalities and information which are transported over the same network connection: digital inputs and outputs (I/O, which can be used to trigger the server to start recording and transmitting images, or activate alarms and devices such as lights and doors), audio, serial port(s) for serial data or control of pan/tilt/zoom cameras and devices. With image buffers, it can send pre-alarm images. A video encoder can also be connected to a wide variety of specialized cameras, such as a highly sensitive black and white camera, a miniature or a microscope camera.

Shop Apartments Plans – Today are fond of upgrading from time to time most of the homeowners. For that reason, the demands for house programs do increase along with skilled architects, contractors and builders. People want their home to look great and nice constantly.

To avoid that, make everything within their right place and become certain with your decisions as much as possible.
The first thing you should bear in mind while arranging a true home makeover is the availability of resources. Always consider where to get those materials that you shall dependence on the renovation. Are they accessible and affordable easily? An architect or a contractor cannot fulfill the new design and program without the option of resources. There are components that are easy to obtain. Therefore you need to check or get in touch with some manufacturers and companies who can provide you the components before you will start implementing.
There are several individuals especially the celebrities and those who are able who continuously change their furniture at home. For some who have other considerations to use the money for, they just choose their old furniture and do the repairs on their own just.

Furniture shops, department stores, discount warehouses, second-hand and antique shops, auction rooms and finally private dealers will all assist you with your furniture needs.
Finally, the attractiveness and selling point of your design must be considered. Is your new design more charming and elegant compared to your previous home interior or exterior? If you are doubtful with your own judgement still, usually do not hesitate to ask the help of professionals. There are therefore a lot of things to be regarded as internal plans but they are the most crucial factors that a homeowner must consider before giving her final decision.

The 35-year-old was impressed by the commanding victory secured by the Super Eagles in their opening match in Cameroon
Former Nigeria goalkeeper Carl Ikeme believes Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho has the qualities to lead the Super Eagles to glory at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Iheanacho partnered Union Berlin's Taiwo Awoniyi upfront against Egypt on Wednesday, and he scored the only goal that fired the Super Eagles to a 1-0 win in their opening match in Garoua.
The three points capped a dominant performance from the three-time African champions and it shot them to the top of Group D.
When asked to pick a star player in Austin Eguavoen's team, Ikeme told GOAL: "It is hard to look past Iheanacho, he is going to be the talisman going forward in the tournament, obviously you can see from his quality last night with the goal. He's a stand-out player.
"I think if he does well in the tournament that Nigeria would do well too."
CAF postpones 2021 AFCON Qualifiers Indefinitely
Iheanacho: I Never Lost Faith In Myself
The former Wolverhampton Wanderers shot-stopper applauded the team's overall effort for the victory at Roumde Adjia Stadium and he rated Eguavoen's selections.
"There was balance in the team, we looked solid at the back with Ndidi in the midfield. He really marshals the back and he controls the game well," he continued.
"And we have Simon and Ihenancho going forward. We have got quality everywhere, we look strong, with some people calling us favourites already, but there are a couple of matches to go.
"Simon is very quick and strong for the game so far, we look strong."
Ikeme who made 10 appearances for the Super Eagles before his retirement in 2018, feels it will be tough for the West Africans to challenge for a fourth Afcon title.
"I think it's going to be difficult because there is a lot and lot of quality at Afcon," he said. "I'm glad it is beginning to shine a brighter light because there are some really good players and some really good teams in the competition.
"Cameroon will be a really different team to beat, also being the host. Senegal are a really good team, Egypt will also be a difficult team to beat going forward in the tournament."
Next up for Nigeria in Group D, is an encounter against Sudan on Saturday before they face Guinea-Bissau on January 19.

J. M. Hoppock: The Old Opdyke House
August 22, 2010 By Marfy Goodspeed in Delaware Township, Headquarters, J. M. Hoppock, Opdycke 2 Comments	Tags: early settlers, houses, mills, The Revolution
by Jonathan M. Hoppock
published July 27, 1905 in the Democrat-Advertiser
The John Opdycke House in 1905
On the farm at present belonging to the heirs of Samuel Higgins, deceased, near Head Quarters (Grover), stands this solidly built old stone mansion which was erected about the year 1744 by John Opdyke. Well-authenticated tradition bearing upon its history strengthens the belief that it was built prior to that year. It is one of the many old stone dwellings common to this section a hundred and fifty or more years ago. It shows but little effect of the ravages of time, for scarcely is there a mark of Time's decaying finger upon it. Barring accidents it will doubtless be in a good habitable condition another hundred years. 1
In referring to the "History of the Opdyke Family," written by Charles Wilson Opdyke, son of George Opdyke, who was Mayor of New York during the great riot in that city in 1863, it is shown that John Opdyke, the builder, came from the staunch old Holland stock, his great grandfather being born in that country in 1620, came to America in 1653 and settled at Albany, N.Y. His grandfather, Johannes Opdyke, was a planter at Dutch Kills, Long Island, and at Maiden Head and Hopewell, New Jersey. He died at the latter place in 1729. His father, Albert Opdyke, was also a planter at Hopewell at the time of his death in 1752. John was born at the last named place in 1710; married Margaret Green, and shortly afterward settled in old Amwell, now Delaware township; was a farmer, miller, merchant and justice of the peace. The county records mention him as a voter in 1738, freeholder in 1750, justice in 1755, and 1757 to 1768. It is said that two stately parchments, under royal seals, "To our trusty and beloved John Opdyke," and his oaths of allegiance to George the Third, in 1755, and of his non-belief in Papacy in taking office, are still to be found among the archives in the County Clerk's office at Flemington. 2
Besides building the house shown in the above cut, he erected the original mills at Head Quarters (now Grover); built the large and handsome stone mansion now owned (and recently remodeled) by Joseph Carrell; historic old "White Hall," and many other buildings still standing at the same place. He is also reputed to have been immensely wealthy, and tradition is that he measured his dollars by the half-bushel, but taking that statement with a grain of allowance, he certainly was a man of much means—as wealth at that day was estimated. 3
For his three sons he erected the stone houses and mills known as "Runk's" at Idell, (formerly Milltown); "Sergeant's," near Sergeantsville, and "Rittenhouse's," near Locktown, all of which are still standing. 4
During the encampment of the Continental Army at Head Quarters in 1777, [John Opdycke] was engaged in store-keeping at that place. Being a staunch patriot, he rendered much aid to the cause for which George Washington fought. It is related that a grand-daughter of his, who was at that time living with him, and aged about 8 years, dying in 1864 at the age of 94, distinctly remembered many incidents connected with the encampment, and in after years was fond of relating them. She remembered seeing General Washington seated with her grandfather under a shed before a stone pork house in her grandfather's yard; remembered Washington giving her a penny for carrying him a drink of water from the spring, after her grandfather had treated to spirits. 5
The grand-daughter referred to, in after years, married Daniel Carrell, and at his death she became the wife of Elisha Warford. Both of these husbands were at one time well-known citizens of this county. 6
John Opdyke's three sons were in the Jersey militia, and two of them were in the battle of Princeton. The family at home heard the roar of the cannon during the engagement, twenty miles away. The American cause looked so gloomy, and the Jerseymen were so despondent that Mr. Opdyke had gone down to the army to learn the true state of affairs. The old man came galloping back on his old gray horse, swinging his hat and shouting: "The enemies are running! Victory is ours, we shall gain our freedom; cheer up!" 7
His remains are interred in the old Opdyke burying ground on the farm upon which the old mansion stands. At the head of the grave a plain marble slab is marked, "John Opdyke, Sen., died August 10, 1777, aged 68 years."
Correction: I had mistakenly claimed that Hoppock's articles were published in the Hunterdon County Democrat. In fact, they were published in the Democrat-Advertiser, which was bought out by the Democrat in 1929.
Hoppock is not writing about the stone house first built by John Opdycke next to the mill. The house in this article is across the road. He is writing about the farm where John and Margaret Opdycke were living after leaving the Headquarters mill lot. This house came into the possession of Caleb Farley after Opdycke's death, and eventually to Mattie Eppele (see the Egbert T. Bush article, "Glen Eppele Once Owned by Soldier of the Revolution."). Hoppock says very little about this house other than 'Opdyke' built it around 1744. Nice to know that in 1905 it was still in good condition. The house owned by Samuel Higgins is the house on the farm just south of the 1744 house. Thomas Opdycke sold the farm to Benjamin Tyson in 1790, and after Tyson's death it was sold to Nathaniel Higgins, grandfather of Samuel M. Higgins.
It is interesting that Hoppock wrote Headquarters as "Head Quarters." I doubt that was the common usage. In 1905, the village was known as "Grover," a name given it by the Postal Administration when a post office was established in the store in Headquarters. The name did not stick. Once the post office was closed, the name reverted to Headquarters. ↩
This information was 'borrowed' from the Opdyke Genealogy by Charles W. Opdyke. Hoppock consistently uses the spelling "Opdyke," as it was used in the genealogy. However, the common spelling in documents relating to the Headquarters branch of the family was "Opdycke." ↩
The pictures attached to Mr. Hoppock's articles are as valuable as the articles themselves. Unfortunately, it is very hard to reproduce them from the old newspapers. It is regrettable that John Opdycke died before the tax return of 1780, which listed the amounts of cash lent out by individual taxpayers. That would have told us just how rich John Opdycke was. His will does not shed any light on this either. ↩
Actually, the Sergeant's mill was probably built by Edward Milner in the 1740's, although the house, now owned by Alan Johnson, was built by John Opdycke. The Rittenhouse mill was built by Peter Rittenhouse, probably also in the 1740's. If there was a stone house attached to it, it is no longer standing. The mill, located on Old Mill Road, has been converted to a residence. As for the Runk mill in Kingwood Township, there is some dispute about whether John Opdycke was the original builder. However, his son George Opdycke was in possession of it before the Revolution. ↩
In other articles, Hoppock wrote about the "Encampment" of the Continental Army near Headquarters and Sand Brook. I will be publishing those articles at some future time. As yet I have not been able to find any documentary evidence that part of the army camped in Delaware Township. All I can say for now is that it is not impossible. ↩
Please see my post, "Who Saw George Washington" ↩
This is another one of those family recollections cited in the Opdyke Genealogy. ↩

Researching my geneology. Have traced my lineage to Joseph Opdycke, Franklin, Hunterdon, NJ, DOB 1805, DOD 4/15/1875. Possible John and Rebecca Opdycke were his parents. Cannot confirm, could you help? Emanuel Opdycke, DOB 1830, Franklin, Hunterdon, NJ, was Joseph and Amy (Coats) son. Joseph is my great,great,great,great grandfather. I would appreciate any help or direction you could give me. I have visited the Opdycke house and am trying to find out if there is a connection. Thanks
As far as I can tell, Joseph R. Opdycke was indeed the son of Sheriff John Roberson Opdycke and Rebecca McAtee Opdycke. Have you seen the Opdycke Genealogy? You really must. Joseph R. Opdycke married Elisabeth Thatcher on 14 October 1830. They had 8 children.
I have Emanuel S. Opdycke born 29 Aug 1829 to a different Joseph Opdycke (1791-1846) who was married to Sarah Trimmer. Emanuel S. Opdycke (1829-1858) was not the son of Amy Coates–he was her husband; they married in May 1849. Their 5 children were Hiram, Sarah, Charles, Willard and Henry.
Which Opdycke house did you visit? There are several.
