Another American legend followed a similar occupational path as frontiersman, army scout and marksman; however, he was also a gambler and something of a drifter. He did join Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show for a while; although his fame seems to have stemmed mainly from his ability as a gun-fighter. Actually a good guy at heart - in his youth he was part of an anti-slavery mob - Wild Bill Hickok truly deserved the name, particularly during his time in Hays City and Abilene, reputed to be the most lawless towns on the frontier. Ruling with an iron hand, plus a gun or two with plenty of notches, he tamed them both and no doubt made himself a few more enemies. That and gambling saw for him in the end. Wild Bill only made it to 39. Playing poker at Deadwood's Number Ten saloon, he was shot and killed by a drunken stranger, Jack McCall, on August 2nd 1876.
I accepted that these men had been actual people and weren't products of a fiction-writer's pen; Calamity Jane, though, to me anyway, was just a bouncy, loveable character played by Doris Day as the title role in a movie musical. I learned she was much more. Born Martha Jane Cannary around 1852, the legend of Calamity Jane seems to have been a product of her own bragging about happenings that might well have been exaggerated, bolstered by other fanciful stories passed on over the years. After skipping around the West from one job to another - cook, camp-follower, loose lady and dance-hall girl to name a few - she found herself in Deadwood, where she furthered her tom-boy reputation, hauling goods and machinery to the gold-mining camps. She probably first met Wild Bill Hickok here and, following her death in 1903, Calamity Jane was buried next to him in the Deadwood bone-yard.
Annie Oakley starred in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, and was often called "Little Sure Shot". At an early age while working as a game hunter, the proceeds of her expertise enabled her to pay off the family mortgage. She probably took her "stage" name from a suburb in Cincinnati where she won a shooting match at the age of 15. Here she met Frank E. Butler. They married and went on the road, playing vaudeville circuits and circuses. In 1885, with her husband as manager, she joined Cody's Wild West Show and was billed as "Miss Annie Oakley, the Peerless Lady Wing-Shot"; earning the accolade without doubt. She could split the edge of a playing card at 30 paces, hit dimes tossed in the air; and, while performing in Berlin, was requested by Crown Prince Wilhelm (later Kaiser Bill of WW I fame) to shoot a cigarette from his lips - he survived, unfortunately. Annie's amazing talent delighted audiences for years, and it is refreshing to learn of someone who was quick with a gun, yet didn't actually kill people.
The show's almost ready to wind up, and the fat lady's waiting in the wings. The venue is Tyburn in England's eighteenth century. A huge crowd is gathered to witness the final performance of a young man who has captured the hearts of the common people. Known by some as "Gentleman Jack" and by others as "Jack the Lad", this guy's incredible feats of escapology might even have been Harry Houdini's inspiration.
Jack Sheppard wasn't a born criminal, rather taking the wrong road with little more than a year to go as an apprentice carpenter. In 1723, Jack decided theft and burglary were better options, and for almost two years he was in and out of jail, the "out" part being his speciality. Within three hours of being banged up on the top floor of the St. Giles's Roundhouse, Jack broke through the ceiling and lowered himself to the ground outside the building using a rope made from bedclothes. Still wearing irons, he slipped into the crowd that had gathered after hearing the sound of his break-out, and distracted them by pointing at the roof where he said he could see the escapee. That gave him the opportunity to make himself scarce.
Jack continued committing crimes and getting caught, then escaping; again using bed sheets, files and "other tools". Needless to say, stringent measures were taken to ensure he remained in custody; but his arrogance and pride were such that he just had to prove that leg irons securely chained to the floor in the strong room of Newgate prison were no match for Jack the Lad. Producing a small nail, he proudly showed his gaolers how easy it was to open the padlock and slip out of their shackles. That bit of unwise cockney exhibitionism saw him more tightly bound and brought his entertaining show to its close.
Now, picture this scene - our Jack is on centre stage; the fat lady is finally wailing her song; and a huge audience is sobbing as it bids farewell to a beloved, colourful working class hero, Gentleman Jack Sheppard. England may never be the same again; and if it has any compassion at all, the World should truly mourn; while the halls of justice which have just displayed a total lack of it, though unrepentant, must surely be forever sullied in the eyes of anyone with a sense of fair play.
Whatever. Thinking about it from my own point of view, despite the fact that Gentleman Jack Sheppard's departure was entirely of his own making; maybe, as he dangles from Tyburn Tree, he is regarding this, his final hour, as his greatest and most daring escape of all.

As a jazz musician, I've always believed that strengthening your ability to improvise can boost creativity whether or not you play an instrument. That's why the workshops I do on creativity and innovation always include exercises in improvisation. No wonder a recent article titled "Jazz improvisers score high on creativity" caught my attention.
Scientists at Wesleyan University posed creativity challenges to 12 jazz musicians, 12 classical musicians, and 12 non-musicians, e.g. brainstorming uses for a paper clip. The participants then listened to three different types of chord progressions: familiar ones, some that were a bit unusual, and some that were totally unpredictable. Their brain waves were recorded with an electroencephalogram (EEG); the participants then rated how much they liked each chord progression.
Does this mean you should start giving your team members jazz lessons? Probably not. But the connection between improvisation and creativity demonstrated by the study supports my long-standing belief that the more you practice improvising, the more creative (and more innovative) you are likely to be.
How will you challenge your team to break free of old thinking and explore new possibilities?

Bristol Proms: Brahms vs Tchaikovsky
Last night, two of the most well-known romantic-era composers met in Bristol – well, not exactly.
Brahms and Tchaikovsky are perfect examples of the two forces at work behind music – Brahms representing the clinical force of the brain, using music to resolve patterns and relate solutions; and Tchaikovsky catering to the swell of the heart and the expression of emotion. Reconciling these two sides of the spectrum is at the essence of composition, and was a potentially weighty subject to ponder on the opening night of Bristol Proms 2015.
Violinist Daniel Hope and actor Jonathan McGuinness took to the stage to play the roles of Brahms and Tchaikovsky for an imagined meeting of the two. Along with them came Benny and Eric Kim, Carla Maria Rodriguez, Tatjana Masurenko and Daniel Geiss, forming – with Hope – a world-class sextet that would illuminate the most crucial element: the musical personalities of the two.
Along with performed excerpts from the two composers, the story was told of Brahms and 'Tchaik' – their rivalry, their commentary on each other's works, and their criticism. Hope and McGuinness' script, assembled also by Jonathan James and Bristol Proms' Artistic Director Tom Morris, was full of wit, style and imagery (often literally), reminding the assembled audience that the Bristol Proms are a less stuffy trip through the world of classical music.
© SWNS, Jon Rowley
Hope and his hand-picked all-star line-up played animatedly and ardently, and visibly enjoyed every minute of the evening, Hope himself taking the role of first violin during the Tchaikovsky pieces, but not for those of Brahms, whose part he was playing as narrator.
Above all was the accessibility of the music, stunningly performed. The setting in the Old Vic's theatre was intimate, with the standing members of the audience within breathing distance of the players. This was backed up visually by the cameras positioned around and above the stage, the displayed images projected and combined onscreen to enrich the atmosphere.
The heart of the evening was the exposition of two pieces – Brahms' String Quintet No. 2 (op.111) and Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence. Both four-movement pieces, the two were introduced as a framework for an imagined conversation between the two rivals, with the full first movements aired before the intermission.
The second half of the evening completed both pieces, interspersing the final three movements of each, placing them side by side and inviting the audience to compare and contrast the two composers.
The evening gave the down-to-earth Bristol audience the chance to experience the very heights of the world of chamber music, and to be spoilt for the night under the spell of the finest music and musicians.
And if it has to be chosen, it was Tchaikovsky – or is that McGuinness in his golden blazer? – who won the hearts of the audience, as the players were beckoned back onto the stage for an encore of his third movement; although there will always be a place for Brahms in our heads.
– James Russell

Brent Oil Price to Grow by $14
Leave a Comment / Business Investments / By ekiensnews
This article was first published on Rigzone here" data-reactid="23″ type="text">This article was first published on Rigzone here
The average price of Brent crude oil will increase by $14 per barrel from 2020 to 2024, according to Fitch Solutions Country Risk & Industry Research's latest oil price report.
Fitch Solutions expects Brent to average $44 per barrel this year, before growing to average $51 per barrel in 2021, $53 per barrel in 2022, $55 per barrel in 2023 and $58 per barrel in 2024.
The Bloomberg Consensus, which was also highlighted in Fitch Solutions' latest report, forecasts that Brent will average $42.4 per barrel in 2020, $50 per barrel in 2021, $53 per barrel in 2022, $55 per barrel in 2023 and $60.4 per barrel in 2024.
"Our view remains that the market will continue to rebalance over H220 and into 2021, driving a continued drawdown of global inventories and further gains in prices," Fitch Solutions analysts stated in the report, which was sent to Rigzone on Wednesday.
"However, the pace of the rebalancing will slow, reflecting a more gradual recovery on the demand side, and a return of shut-in wells and the unwinding of the OPEC+ deal on the supply side," the analysts added in the report.

"Moreover, the contango term structure in Brent has gradually deepened this month, typically an indication of market loosening and a bearish sign of sentiment and prices. Financial markets more broadly have begun to look toppy and the risks of a partial relapse in prices are elevated in the near term," the analysts continued.
At the time of writing, the price of Brent oil stood at $43.81 per barrel. This figure dipped under $20 per barrel back in April. As of September 2, 3: 56pm CET, there have been 25.6 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 globally, with 852,758 deaths, according to the latest data from the World Health Organization.

Decision Hierarchy - Improving Organisational Decision Making
Jack Jacoby Business Strategy & Change
Decision Hierarchy – Improving Organisational Decision Making
Half Day | In-House | Max. 50 Participants
Clarity of organisational KPOs
Easier to manage
Clarity of relationship between every part of the organisation
Significant savings in time, effort, cost by eliminating rework caused by lack of clarity
Ensures that all organisational effort contributes to stated KPOs
Discusses and demonstrates the way to establish organisational KPOs
Covers for-profit, not for profit, NGO, and government organisations
Discusses role of the Board
Explains the Decision Hierarchy in all organisations
Steps: Market, Product/Service, Channel, Support, Communications, HR, Systems & IT, Management/Structure, Outcomes
Based on refereed research, the Decision Hierarchy provides clarity of the steps in a logical progression through the thought, deduction, and decision process within an organisation.
Core elements:
1. Why does an organisation exist?
2. What are the specific economic, social, cultural, regulatory, and economic environments from which objectives must be satisfied?
3. What are the products and services that are instrumental in generating the ability to deliver objectives?
4. How to get the products/services to market, support them and generate communications that affect decision makers.
5. What people and systems are needed to do this?
6. What is the optimal management structure?
7. Only when these tasks have been effectively completed, can an organisation pull together these divergent (and often conflicting) elements and call it a business, corporate or strategic plan.
This Hierarchy establishes the relationships between precedent and antecedent events in the decision making
cycle and thereby allows planners to ensure appropriate and logical flow of managerial decision making.
Both directors and management obtain benefit from having a "simple" agreed way of thinking about the organisation.
A 10-page article explaining the Decision Hierarchy is provided.
A 1-page Decision Hierarchy is provided that managers can carry with them to all meetings.
Presentation slides are available if requested.
Notebook and pen.

Q: Can we show differentiability uniformly wrt a parameter here? Let $E_i$ be a $\mathbb R$-Banach space, $\Omega\subseteq E_1$ be open, $(M,d)$ be a compact metric space and $f:\Omega\times M\to E_2$ be continuous.

Assume $f(\;\cdot\;,y)$ is Fréchet differentiable for all $y\in M$ and ${\rm D}_1f:\Omega\times M\to\mathfrak L(E_1,E_2)$ is continuous. Are we able to conclude that the differentiability is uniformly with respect to the second argument, i.e. $$\frac1{\left\|h\right\|_{E_1}}\sup_{y\in M}\left\|f(x+h,y)-f(x,y)-{\rm D}_1f(x,y)h\right\|_{E_2}\xrightarrow{h\to0}0\tag1$$ for all $x\in\Omega$.

If necessary, assume that $\Omega$ is relatively compact such that we can infer that $f$ and ${\rm D}_1f$ are uniformly continuous.
Let $\varepsilon>0$. By the plain definition of Fréchet differentiable of $f(\;\cdot\;,y)$ for all $y\in M$, we only obtain that there is a $(\delta_y)_{y\in M}\subseteq(0,\infty)$ with $$\frac{\left\|f(x+h,y)-f(x,y)-{\rm D}_1f(x,y)h\right\|_{E_2}}{\left\|h\right\|_{E_1}}<\varepsilon\tag2$$ for all $h\in B_{\delta_y}(0)$ and $y\in M$.
Example
Assume, for example, that $\Omega=[0,\tau]$ for some $\tau>0$, that $f(\;\cdot\;,x)$ is differentiable for all $x\in M$ and that $\partial_1f$ is (jointly) continuous. Then (since $M$ is compact) $\partial_1f$ is uniformly continuous and hence, given $\varepsilon>0$, there is a $\delta>0$ with $$\left\|\partial_1f(r,x)-\partial_1f(s,y)\right\|_{E_2}<\varepsilon\tag3$$ for all $r,s\in[0,\tau]$ and $x,y\in M$ with $\max(|r-s|,\left\|x-y\right\|_E)<\delta$. Thus, $$\left\|\frac{f(t,x)-f(s,x)}{t-s}-\partial_1f(s,x)\right\|_{E_2}\le\frac1{t-s}\int_s^t\left\|\partial_1f(r,x)-\partial_1f(s,y)\right\|_{E_2}{\rm d}r<\varepsilon\tag4$$ for all $s,t\in[0,\tau]$ with $|s-t|<\delta$ and $x\in M$.

Can we generalize this result?

A: We have $\frac{1}{\|h\|_E}(f(x+h,y)-f(x,y)-D_1f(x,y)h) = \int_0^1{\left(D_1f(x+th,y)-D_1f(x,y)\right)\frac{h}{\|h\|_E}}$.
Thus, the conclusion follows as soon as $D_1f(x',y)$ converges (in norm) uniformly in $y$, as $x' \rightarrow x$, to $D_1f(x,y)$ (*).
Let $g=D_1f: \Omega \times M \rightarrow E_3$, which is continuous. We'll show that (*) follows from the continuity of $g$.
Indeed, if (*) doesn't hold, as $M$ is compact, we can take sequences $x_n,y_n$ converging to $x,y$ respectively, such that for some $\epsilon>0$, $\|g(x_n,y_n)-g(x,y_n)\| > \epsilon$. But as $g$ is continuous, $g(x_n,y_n) \rightarrow g(x,y)$ and $g(x,y_n) \rightarrow g(x,y)$, a contradiction.

Сигилият на деспот Алексий Слав е дарствена грамота, дадена от деспот Алексий Слав на построения от него манастир в Мелник "Света Богородица Спилеотиса", с която деспотът дарява на манастира селото Катуница с неговите земи и имоти "и с неговите жители". Документът е създаден през 1220 година на гръцки език и съдържа интересни данни за икономическата и политическата обстановка в българските земи в началото на XIII век. Съдържанието му категорично свидетелства за пълната зависимост на селяните от техните светски и църковни господари, тъй като чрез сигилия светският владетел Алексий Слав прехвърля на манастира правата си над селяните в посоченото село. Деспотът забранява на държавни чиновници или на висшия клир да събират данъци или да съдят селяните на манастира, тъй като монасите и техният игумен са единствените им господари. Грамотата показва, че Алексий Слав е напълно самостоятелен владетел в своите територии, който си позволява да определя създадения от него манастир като "царски и деспотски" и не се споменава името на царя.

Грамотата се съхранява в библиотеката на Ватопедския манастир в Света гора.

Q: How to Echo a variable without calling it? I am trying to make a batch file that creates another batch file (Compile.bat) and need to echo the %errorlevel% variable into Compile.bat, but since it's a global variable when it is called is uses current value.
This is the code
ECHO if NOT "%errorlevel%"=="0" PAUSE >> .\%name%\Compile.bat

But Compile.bat receives
if NOT "0"=="0" PAUSE

Is there a way to stop it from thinking %errorlevel% is a variable?

A: You have to escape the errorlevel variable with double %% like this:
ECHO if NOT "%%errorlevel%%"=="0" PAUSE >> .\%name%\Compile.bat

I think this is what you wanted:
if NOT "%errorlevel%"=="0" PAUSE

A: Here's some helper code for you.
@Echo Off
Set "name=SomeName"
Set "variable=Value"
Rem Write to Compile.bat
Echo Press any key to write to Compile.bat
Pause > Nul
(
    Echo @Echo Off
    Echo %%variable%% = %variable%
    Echo Pause
) > "%name%\Compile.bat"
Echo Finished writing to Compile.bat

I hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween yesterday! Also, if you were one of the ones affected by Hurricane Sandy, my heart and prayers goes out to you. I'm on the East Coast but I live in Georgia and the only affect Sandy did was bring in a cold front and heavy winds. But it really brings me to tears to see all the people that lost their homes and love ones from this devastating storm. Please stay prayerful and know God is with you all!
You see folks, I've earned all this money without making any type of investment except for my domain name. It is possible to make money on the Internet free if you know what you're doing and work hard at it. I've notice when I set goals for myself, it makes me hustle harder to achieve them.
Now with the holiday season about to be in full swing, I'm going to really be pushing myself to work hard online to make extra money. But if I don't make my goal, that's ok because I've already went above and beyond my goal of making $5,000 this year. Be on the look out in January for my year total for 2012.
I hope you all made your goals for October! Cheers to succeeding our goals for November!!
Hey Ronald! I made that money by joining affiliate programs. I find a affiliate program in my niche and get paid for referrals. I get referrals from this blog as well as writing articles on Squidoo.
Congrats on your October income. Also, I like your idea of doing a yearly total in January. I hope you don't mind if I borrow it for myself. It is interesting to see how much money can be made online in a year.
Thanks Victoria! Go ahead and take the year totals idea. It's great to see how much people make online for a full year!
I agree it is a wonderful idea. Also, it helps to know about how much we have to expect to pay in taxes.
Also, what is Panthera Network about? I went to the site but not sure I fully understand what the niche is. I see you make a bulk of your income their so it has to be something at least worth looking into.
Panthera Network is a affiliate program that I get paid to help companies bring in new members for survey programs. There are other programs on Panthera Network you can make money from too but I just choose survey panels since I do them myself.


Bio-Oil Stretch Mark: Does Bio-Oil Stretch Mark Work?
Bio-Oil is a lightweight body and face oil made from plant extracts and vitamins that is known as an effective treatment for stretch marks, scars, uneven skin tone, and aging skin. Using a breakthrough ingredient called PurCellin Oil, this product's formulation changes consistency so that it is light and non-greasy and, therefore, more easily absorbed by the skin. Bio-Oil is manufactured in accordance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice as dictated by the World Health Organization. Its ingredients are tested for adulteration and microbiological contamination before production and then a sample is kept and monitored in a lab for five years. The manufacturers stress that no harmful emissions or hazardous waste or wastewater is generated in the production of Bio-Oil. Its packaging is recyclable. Bio-Oil has garnered 134 skincare awards since its 2002 launch, including several awards for best stretch mark oil or product to use during pregnancy. The prices for this product follow: $11.99 for a 2 fl. oz. bottle, $19.99 for a 4.2 fl. oz. bottle, and $27.99 for a 6.7 fl. oz. bottle.
, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Limonene, Linalool, and D&C Red No.17 (CI 26100).
Bio-Oil combines plant-based ingredients with vitamins and a breakthrough ingredient called PurCellin Oil to deliver a very light-weight and non-greasy formula that is easily absorbed by the skin. It can be used all over the body and is known to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, aging, and dehydrated skin. Some of the oils that are used in this product include calendula oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, and chamomile oil.
Bio-Oil should be applied twice daily for a minimum of three months. Pregnant women should apply it from the start of the second trimester to stretch mark-prone areas, including the abdomen, breasts, lower back, hips, buttocks, and thighs. It should not be used on broken skin. This product should be stored in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Bio-Oil is a trusted product used by many pregnant women. Its manufacturers place an importance on testing the formula to ensure it is safe for use. Although the results of clinical studies are not available on the Bio-Oil website, several positive testimonials exist on sites like Amazon.com. The price is very reasonable and this product can be purchased both online and in myriad stores. For the most part, its list of ingredients include nourishing oils that are familiar to most customers, though some may balk at the fact that it also uses mineral oil. Overall, this is a well-regarded multi-purpose body oil that holds the distinction of being both extremely moisturizing and non-greasy.

Camera Buff
by Louis Jacobson June 13th, 2003 August 29th, 2020
"Anderson & Low:
Gymnasts—Athletes"
At the Kathleen Ewing Gallery to June 21
"Henry Horenstein: Aquatics"
Which project seems likelier to produce more compelling art: a high-concept, long-term collaboration with beautifully toned athletes, or a photographer taking pictures through the glass at the zoo? In this particular contest, the critters wipe the floor with the stud muffins.
Not that the work of photographic partners Jonathan Anderson and Edwin Low is a total waste of time. The artists, who have worked together since 1990, specialize in capturing the human form. Their exhibition at the Kathleen Ewing Gallery combines images from two book-length series, Gymnasts, featuring members of the Danish national gymnastics team, and Athletes, which documents world-class athletic competitors from a variety of nations.
Gymnasts is the more ambitious of the two, largely because it approaches its subjects thematically, grouping them around the four classical elements of earth, air, fire, and water. The "Earth" images are the least groundbreaking of the bunch—lots of nicely oiled bodies stacked on top of one another and set against dark backgrounds—and the "Fire" pieces don't seem as adventurous as one might expect, given that they depict people flying through flames.
More interesting are "Water" and "Air." In the former, Anderson & Low posed their subjects underwater to achieve positions that would have been impossible on dry land: one man "holding up" another with just his fingertips; another pair doing a slow-motion pas de deux. Think of Barbara Morgan's classic photographs of dance great Martha Graham—the intense concentration of the subject, the fluid movement frozen for a moment, the indistinct background that puts all focus on the figure—but with subjects who are male, submerged, and naked.
"Air," for its part, uses (presumably) trampolines and diving boards to send the photographers' well-muscled collaborators flying into decontextualized space, save for the occasional wispy cloud. Here the gymnasts really let go, making upside-down free-falls and Blue Angels-esque overflights. The images are striking in their directness, convincingly conveying—in more than one sense—the naked power of the athlete.
Clearly, Anderson & Low are on to something with the nudity: The largely clothed subjects of Athletes inspire much less interest. The crisp black-and-white images of the series are too often sports-coverage clichés, from blurred action shots of bicyclists to portraits of steely-eyed boxers to candids of athletes midpractice. Only a few images offer something more substantial: In Michael Klim, Swimmer, Australia (1999), Klim stands on the bottom of a filled pool just as casually as if he were stationed on the sidewalk. And with Bisse #1 (2001/2002), Anderson & Low took a page from photographer Neal Slavin, organizing members of an athletic team by height to produce a subtly pyramidal composition.
But even at its best, Anderson & Low's imagery isn't exactly new: Some of the shots from "Air" crib shamelessly from Leni Riefenstahl's 1938 film Olympia, which was commissioned by Adolf Hitler's government to document the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. This connection isn't necessarily surprising: Riefenstahl's film displays nothing so much as admiration for the perfect human form.
It would be silly to call Anderson & Low Nazi sympathizers, but their adoption of Riefenstahl's style to express their own admiration for the male nude is troubling nonetheless. Perhaps they're reappropriating Riefenstahl's aesthetics for a more enlightened generation—or perhaps they're mocking Nazism by using their photographs' obvious homoeroticism to undercut the party's ideology. Or maybe they're making a comment about the spectacle that is modern sports.
In any case, what doesn't track is that Anderson & Low's work doesn't display a lot of irony. Their tone is as superserious as that of the competitors they chronicle, making their subjects as unapproachable, in their own way, as centerfolds. The viewer, left behind in the real world, is able only to look and to covet. Despite their noble aspirations, Anderson & Low have given us little more than medal-worthy pinups.
Henry Horenstein has a far more modest approach. A professor at the Rhode Island School of Design, Horenstein has produced some powerful work—including a strikingly composed series of horse-racing images from the '80s and '90s—but his photographs also display enough whimsy to appeal to children. According to his biography, Horenstein has produced 30 children's books. He has also done extensive work photographing dogs.
Horenstein visits zoos and aquariums to photograph animals through the glass, but his images are light-years beyond ordinary snapshots. He takes full advantage of the odd lighting conditions he's presented with and prints in grainy black and white; the resulting images look as if they had been taken a century ago.
Some of Horenstein's works are essentially portraits. His Seahorse, Hippocampus erectus is a vague but recognizable black form against a murky, backlit void, its indistinct tail effectively suggesting flickering motion. Bottlenose Dolphin, Tursiops truncatus presents the sea mammal in a jarring, extremely foreshortened pose. In Crystal Jellyfish, Aequorea victoria, we see a hemispherical halo trailing long white tendrils that, viewed against the enigmatic gray background, suggest a pinstriped suit. And Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp, Lysmata amboinensis is a head-and-thorax shot that looks as translucent as an X-ray.
More than anything, Horenstein is a master of synecdoche, communicating an animal's essence by photographing its head, teeth, tail, or leg. Octopus, Octopus cyanea, for example, offers two arms as elegantly coiled as those of a supermodel. Stubby Squid, Rossia pacifica captures a rotund squid with only the nearest portion in perfect focus; the rest recedes into a pleasing blur.
Horenstein could easily have turned his project into an environmentalist critique: free-swimming animals captured once and then freed, as it were, by the photographer. But one gets the feeling that Horenstein has no overarching agenda—that he's simply entranced by the various shapes of these exotic animals.
Though he obviously shares Anderson & Low's fascination with form, his method offers a counterpoint: Rather than aiming high and ending up with kitsch, Horenstein creates something elevated from the humblest of beasts. It's always risky to attribute human emotions to animals—but it's also hard to avoid feeling a stronger bond with Horenstein's odd-looking sea creatures than with Anderson & Low's too-perfect people.

Current Anchor Position: 32° 23.02'N, 144° 32.41'E
Nominal Location: 32.3°N, 144.6°E
Mooring Type: Slack-Line
Scope: 1.4
Watch Circle: >5km Radius
Avoidance Area: Ships working in the area are requested to observe an avoidance area of at least 4NM radius (7.5km) from the stated anchor position.
The KEO mooring has a large scope, and the anchor position changes with each deployment. When using KEO data in scientific analyses, it may be appropriate to consider the actual position of the buoy rather than its nominal position. The nominal depths should NOT be used for sensor depths. Instead, the time-varying subsurface pressure of the sensor should be used to determine the measurement depth.
Deployment Dates and Positions
Refer to the mooring diagrams (links) in the table below for exact specifications of each deployment. The positions noted in the table indicate the center of the watch circle. For KEO, the buoy position can be more than 5km from the listed position.

Special Periods
The KE-003 mooring broke free from its anchor on April 16, 2007, and was adrift. The break occurred at the bridle, so no subsurface instruments were recovered. High-resolution data are only available from the recovered surface and meteorological instruments. Data delivered through the Mooring Data page are truncated at the time when the buoy moved outside its watch circle, but data from the drifting period are still available. Click here for daily averaged data, and click here for high resolution data from the drifting period.
The KE-004 designation was given to a JAMSTEC mooring deployed near the KEO site in 2007. The numbered designations for the OCS moorings go from KE-003 (2006) to KE-005 (2007).
The KE-006 and KE-010 (4/2/2013) moorings dragged their anchors during the deployment, but stayed within the nominal KEO site box. The lat/lon limits for valid data from the KEO site are:
NW = 32°39'N, 144°21'E NE = 32°39'N, 144°45'E
SW = 32°06'N, 144°21'E SE = 32°06'N, 144°45'E
The KE-010 mooring broke free of its anchor on June 7, 2013 and was recovered June 28, 2013, circulating in an eddy northwest of the nominal anchor location.
The KE-015 mooring broke free of its anchor on October 19, 2017. It drifted in the recirculation gyre for two months, before being recovered on December 21, 2017 aboard the JAMSTEC S/V Yokosuka. The adrift data can be found here.
The KE-017 mooring broke free of its anchor on May 19, 2020. It drifted in the recirculation gyre for two months, before being recovered on June 20, 2020 aboard the chartered vessel M/V Kaiyo Maru No. 1. No mooring was redeployed due to constraints of COVID-19. A new mooring will hopefully be deployed in 2021.
Major Typhoons
The following storms have passed over or near the KEO mooring, and data from those periods are available. If the primary sensor failed due to storm damage, data from the secondary, or in some cases tertiary, sensor have been included in the data set. These substitutions are indicated in the quality flags.

HPA Select� helps to gently modulate the complex activities of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, an interrelated network of endocrine messaging systems and pathways that governs the body's stress response mechanisms. A constantly triggered immune response provokes a cascade in stress responses and is the fundamental mechanism underlying most imbalance and illness. HPA Select� features a selection of time-honored Indian and East Asian adaptogenic herbs that have been proven safe and effective in modern clinical studies to quiet the stress response as they re-regulate, normalize and enhance normal function in multiple metabolic pathways. Known as tonifiers in classical Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, adaptogenic herbs are noted for their ability to safely generate non-specific resistance to physical, biological and chemical stressors.
Rhodiola Rosea is a flowering perennial plant found in sub-Arctic regions around the globe including Canada, the northern mountains of the continental US, Scandinavia and Russia, where it was studied extensively. It was used by the indigenous cultures as a treatment for illnesses common during cold and wet winters or to enhance mental and physical endurance among many other uses. Rhodiola is rich in potent antioxidants including vitamin C. Clinical studies show it is a favorable anti-depressant distinguished by its lack of side effects and has been shown to improve sleep quality, memory and learning, to reduce binge eating and to increase overall stress tolerance.
Eluethero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) was the first plant to be extensively studied in the Soviet Union, where the term adaptogen was coined for the properties of this local relative of the Asian ginseng, it met all of the criteria of an adaptogen-nontoxic; producing a nonspecific response that increased resistance against multiple stressor; had a normalizing influence on physiology, regardless of the direction of change inspired by the stressors. Eluethero helps speed recovery from injury, increase alertness, fight fatigue and shorten recovery times from illness.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a classical adaptogen, long revered in Ayurvedic medicine as a prominent longevity booster and nerve tonic. Commonly known as "Indian Ginseng", Ashwagandha has been shown to heps promote a healthy stress response in many ways, such as improving immunity and balancing levels of cortisol. Studies have found it effective in alleviating symptoms of depression.
Panax Ginseng is well known as an energy tonic that enhances physical endurance and supports reproductive hormone balance, particularly in men. Panax supports healthy metabolic function during stressed conditions by boosting fat oxidation while limiting carbohydrate metabolism.
Licorice Root Powder helps soothe irritated tissues lining an inflamed, stressed GI tract. Traditional Chinese and western herbalists have used licorice for centuries to help balance stress and support healthy adrenal function. Licorice helps keep cortisol at normal levels in people suffering from adrenal fatigue-a set of conditions caused by too much or too little circulating levels of cortisol that includes impaired cognitive performance, blood pressure fluctuations, mild depression and decreased immune function.
This product compares to BG1002 Bio Adaptogen.
Other ingredients: Cellulose (capsule), micro-crystalline cellulose, vegetable stearate, silicon dioxide.
Recommended Usage: 2 capsules between meals, 1 or 2 times per day or as directed by your healthcare professional.


The Dominican Republic's Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources has formally delegated the management of La Caleta Marine Park to Reef Check Dominican Republic (RCDR). Under the leadership of coral reef ecologist Dr. Rubén Torres, RCDR has been co-managing the park for many years using ecotourism as an economic incentive for fishermen to conserve natural resources. Commenting about his project Dr. Torres said, "La Caleta is a prize-winning model of collaboration between government, NGOs and local communities where local livelihoods, conservation, research, education, and management of marine resources meet for a common goal of sustainably using resources for the benefit of all." At Reef Check HQ we are often asked, "How can citizen-science lead to successful conservation?" La Caleta is one more exciting example that will be a model for the Caribbean and the world. Congratulations to Dr. Torres and his wonderful Board of Directors.


Cineforum, a Regnum Christi production, is a men's outreach offering an evening of engaging contemporary culture through popular film.

Q: PHP Functions Don't Work I'm in the process of converting all of my code to mysqli instead of mysql. The pages seem to be doing their queries and inserts correctly. However, I cannot get functions to work. Based on the several sites, as well as this one, that I've looked at, my syntax should be correct. In addition, all of these worked prior to converting to mysqli.
I've tried having this directly in the php file (such as index.php) as well as in a separate file (which is where I want it to be). I get the same result. This example is a function for a dropdown list.
newserviceint.php:
<?php

    include 'php/phpfunctions.php';

    $con = mysqli_connect("mysql01", "jeremy","supersecret", "mycars");

    if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {

        printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
        exit();
    }

?>

<?php

    $id = $_GET["id"];

    $sql = "    SELECT  vehicles.VehicleID,
                        vehicles.VYear,
                        vmake.VMake,
                        vmodel.VModel

                FROM    vehicles
                        INNER JOIN mycars.vmake ON vehicles.VMakeID = vmake.VMakeID
                        INNER JOIN mycars.vmodel ON vehicles.VModelID = vmodel.VModelID

                WHERE   vehicles.VehicleID = '$id' ";

    $result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);

    while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){

        $year       =   $row['VYear'];
        $make       =   $row['VMake'];
        $model      =   $row['VModel'];
        $vid        =   $row['VehicleID'];

    }

?>

        <?php include ("layout/header.php"); ?>

        <?php include ("layout/banner.php"); ?>

                New Service Interval

                    <form action="php/newserviceintcode.php" method="post">

                                Vehicle
                                <input type="text" name="vehicle" style="width:40px" value="<?php echo $vid; ?>"> <?php echo $year; ?> <?php echo $make; ?> <?php echo $model; ?>

                                Service
                                <select name="service" style="width:344px"><?php service() ?></select>

                                Mileage Interval
                                <input type="text" name="miles" style="width:340px">

                                Time Interval
                                <input type="text" name="time" style="width:340px">

                                Notes
                                <textarea type="text" name="notes" style="width:340px" rows="4"></textarea>

                        <input type="submit" value="Submit">

                    </form>

        <?php include ("layout/footer.php"); ?>

About halfway down you see this line:
<select name="service" style="width:344px"><?php service() ?></select>

What worked in mysql was this  would provide me a dropdown list that is provided by the function listed in:
php/phpfunctions.php
function service(){
    $qservice = mysqli_query( "SELECT VServiceID, Title FROM vservice ORDER BY Title");
    while($record = mysqli_fetch_array($qservice)){
        echo '<option value="' . $record['VServiceID'] . '">' . $record['Title'] . '</option>';
    }
}

There are several other functions on this page, but all of them are giving me the exact same results. I've even pretty much copied the connection function from this site but it just acts like there's nothing there. As stated above, I've tried this both locally within the pages and through the external file - both with identical results.
Is there something different you have to do with mysqli vs mysql when incorporated into a function? Based on what I've found searching, and the fact that it worked before, this should work.
Thanks in advance

A: Here  inside function service(){, first argument should be connection and second one should be your query string, READ MORE
$qservice = mysqli_query( "SELECT VServiceID, Title FROM vservice ORDER BY Title");

You need connection
$connection = mysqli_connect("mysql01", "jeremy","supersecret", "mycars");
$qservice = mysqli_query( $connection, 'your query string' );

OR pass connection object
<?php service($con) ?>

and modify function
function service($connection)
{
    $qservice = mysqli_query($connection,  "SELECT VServiceID, Title FROM vservice ORDER BY Title");
    // your remaining code goes here
}

Will introduce crypto bill after Cabinet nod: FM Sitharaman
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said that the Indian government will introduce the bill on cryptocurrencies in the Parliament after Cabinet's approval.
ET Online
November 30, 2021, 17:06 IST
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said that the Indian government will introduce the bill on cryptocurrencies in the Parliament after Cabinet's approval. The minister also said that regulation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is also being considered.
"Government will soon bring a bill after the Cabinet clears it. It was not brought in last time as there were some other dimensions that had to be looked into. Rapidly a lot of things had come into play. Intent was to improve the bill,"Sitha raman said during the Question Hour in Rajya Sabha. Speaking on the advertisement controversy surrounding cryptocurrencies, she said that no decision has been taken on banning the advertisements. "ASCI governs advertising & formulates guidelines.All its regulations are being looked at so that we can see what can be done on advertisements."
The minister on Monday had said that there is no proposal to recognise Bitcoin as a currency. Further, she said that the government does not collect data on Bitcoin transactions.
The Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021, listed in the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, seeks to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India, however, it allows for certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies and its uses.

Another great old Marx toy, their student typewriter. In really nice original condition. The keys and mechanisms all work. the original ink tape is mostly dried up but feeds through fine. The bales and paper roller, etc. all work. It has a scroll window that scrolls a reel of pictures and names (like a picture of a roo with KANGAROO) for the student to practice. Neat old typewriter, and one unlike most of the other Marx units you will see.

Q: A Cauchy-Schwarz type integral inequality for analytic functions. I've proved the following: Let $a_j$ and $b_j$ be sequences of non-negative numbers and for $k\geq 0$, $c_k=\sum_{j=0}^ka_jb_{k-j}$. Then $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty \cfrac{c_k^2}{k+1}\leq\left(\sum_{j=0}^\infty a_j^2\right)\left(\sum_{j=0}^\infty b_j^2\right)$$
Using this, I need to prove that for $f$ and $g$ (complex) analytic in the disk $\Delta(0,\rho)$, for $0<r<\rho$,
$$\cfrac{1}{\pi r^2}\int_{\Delta(0,r)}|f|^2|g|^2dA\leq\left(\cfrac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi}|f(re^{it})|^2dt\right)\left(\cfrac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi}|g(re^{it})|^2dt\right)$$
I'm not sure how to begin. In order to use the result above, I know I can expand the functions $f$ and $g$ as Taylor series in the disk $\Delta(0,r)$ but I don't understand how to evaluate/estimate the integral on the left hand side. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks.

A: Let $f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n z^n$ and $g(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty b_n z^n$ be the power series of $f$ and $g$, respectively. Note that the $c_n$ are exactly the coefficients of the Cauchy product of these two power series, so we have $f(z) g(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n z^n$.
Parseval's identity states that
$$
\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi}|f(re^{it})|^2 \, dt = \sum_{n=0}^\infty |a_n |^2r^{2n}
$$
for $0<r<\rho$, and similarly for $g$ and $fg$.
Now compute the area integral with polar coordinates, apply Parseval's identity to the product $fg$, and integrate term-by-term:
$$
\frac{1}{\pi r^2}\int_{\Delta(0,r)}|f|^2|g|^2 \,dA
= \frac{1}{\pi r^2} \int_0^r \int_0^{2\pi}|(fg)(R e^{it})|^2 R \, dt \,dR \\
= \frac{1}{\pi r^2} \int_0^r 2 \pi\sum_{n=0}^\infty |c_n |^2R^{2n} R \, dR = \cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{|c_n |^2r^{2n}}{n+1} \, .
$$
This shows that the desired inequality between the integrals is equivalent to the inequality
$$
\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{|c_n |^2r^{2n}}{n+1} \le
\left (\sum_{n=0}^\infty |a_n |^2r^{2n} \right)
\left (\sum_{n=0}^\infty |b_n |^2r^{2n} \right)
$$
and that is what you proved in the first part, applied to the sequences $(r^j a_j)_j$ and $(r^j b_j)_j$ .

The Shock of the Record: Archives and Truth
These seminars will address issues around the critical importance of safeguarding records- be they archives, modern and digital records, or social media- as evidence of activity, decisions, strategy, etc. The seminars will show that such information encourages understanding of the skills needed to interpret evidence and equip us to analyse data, as well as encouraging a recognition of the importance of the record.
Thursdays evenings- times may vary
Amanda Engineer (BRA), Serena Kelly (Schroders), Richard Ovenden( Bodleian Librarian), Alice Prochaska (Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission), Jean Seaton (University of Westminster), Julia Sheppard (BRA), David Thomas (University of Northumbria), Sarah Tyacke (J B Harley Research Fellowship Trust) and Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study).
About the Seminar
This British Records Association run series will address issues arising from current scepticism of facts and evidence. Archives and records do not necessarily equate to truth but are essential building blocks for the interpretation and understanding of events.
The webinars are intended to encourage new audiences to develop an understanding of the information they encounter and ways in which to question and challenge it. They are designed to widen knowledge of archives and records, including those held outside traditional institutions. A major objective is to break down real or perceived obstacles to research.
This in turn will enable previously unwritten histories to emerge, allowing a wider diverse community to appreciate its place in the world.
Speakers from a variety of backgrounds including activist and community archives will take part: panels will be arranged with a view to diversity of experience and inclusivity. Topics to be covered include: Why archives matter; who creates the record and why; radical approaches- archive creation under oppressive regimes; threats to the record; limits of the record; future of the record and record keepers.
Members from the British Records Association Advocacy of Archives Group act as Convenors for this seminars.
You can contact the seminar convenors via email.

Let's break down the motion and look detail!
Blackfoot is same as ollie or little bit more heel side. Whichever you feel comfortable. Front foot is on hardwares or bit back. Place little heel side and get ready to take off from board. Your weight is center of the board.
Upper body turns little forward like F/S180 and look front foot.
Start rotating your body. Focusing on front foot motion can make your body move sidewards and this is the biggest reason for mistake. It is fine to move little sideward (leftward if regular) but try to rotate at same position.
Take your front foot off from your board right after starting body rotation. Timing of kicking tail with your back foot is when front foot lands on ground.
Do not let your board apart from your back foot after kicking tail. Push front foot to forward like leading your board to right direction.
Take off of your front foot from ground and go get on your board after kicking tail.
We've been looking step by step but make sure doing everything in one motion. It can be confusing at first but it makes trick look much smoother and clean.
HOW TO PRACTICE F/S180 NO-COMPLY?
At first, you can practice leaving your front foot on ground after taking off from board. You do not really need ollie skill to learn this trick but since this trick requires body rotation, learning with F/S180 can be a good shortcut.
No-comply has a lot of variations. No-comply without rotation can be little harder. It also has backside version, 360 version, adding heel flip, and lots more.
You can even create your own variation. Here is a bit of examples.
