One of the keystones of Microsoft's software strategy as of late has been to encourage people to purchase subscriptions rather than buying one-offs for individual programs. To help encourage that, the firm is giving away Windows 10 for free to anyone with a Windows 7 or 8 license, but it will be charging for the new version of Office. However unlike 365, 2016 is available for a set fee, too.
Microsoft would still rather you subscribed (for either $10 a month, or $100 for the year), as evidenced by its giant subscription breakdown on the official product page. However, it does begrudgingly tell you about the benefits of a one-off payment, if only so it can show off the additional features you can get as part of an Office 365 subscription.
That said, if you don't need all of those extras, or just prefer a traditional software purchase model, you can buy Office Home & Student 2016 for $150. It gives you one install (rather than five with a subscription) and a free 15GB of online storage as part of Microsoft's OneDrive.
Related: Preview: Office 2016 isn't revolutionary, and that's ok
There are other versions available too if you want more features though. There's the Office Home and Business version, which also gives access to Microsoft's Outlook email software, and that is available for $230. For real power users, there's the Office Professional 2016, which adds Publisher and Access to the mix, in the process bumping the price up considerably to $400.
For comparison, Microsoft's subscription packages would cost less than $100 a year for even the full Office 365 Home. There's also the 365 Personal package which is even less, at $70 — though of course you'll be paying for it for as long as you use it.
Whether you opt for the single, one-off payment, or a rolling subscription, Office 2016 is available for Mac users too — it will be interesting to see how many Apple users can be converted to using software made by their old enemy.

1 Chapter 8 Approximation Algorithms (Part II)
2 Outline Scheduling Independent tasks Bin packing
3 Scheduling independent tasks An instance of the scheduling problem is defined by a set of n task times, t i, 1 i n, and m, the number of processors. Obtaining minimum finish time schedules is NP- complete. The scheduling rule we will use is called the LPT (longest processing time) rule. Definition: An LPT schedule is one that is the result of an algorithm, which, whenever a processor becomes free, assigns to that processor a task whose time is the largest of those tasks not yet assigned.
4 Example Let m = 3, n = 6 and (t 1, t 2, t 3, t 4, t 5, t 6 ) = (8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3). In an LPT schedule tasks 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Tasks 1, 2, and 3 are assigned to processors 1, 2 and 3. Tasks 4, 5 and 6 are respectively assigned to the processors 3, 2, and 1. The finish time is 11. Since t i /3 = 11, the schedule is also optimal. 1 6 2 5 3 4 P1 P3 6 7 8 11
5 Example Let m = 3, n = 6 and (t 1, t 2, t 3, t 4, t 5, t 6, t 7 ) = (5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3). The LPT schedule is shown in the following figure. This has a finish time is 11. The optimal schedule is 9. Hence, for this instance |F*(I) – F(I)|/F*(I) = (11-9)/9=2/9. 1 5 7 2 6 3 4 P1 P2 P3 4 5 8 11 1 3 2 4 5 6 7 (a) LPT schedule(b) Optimal schedule 9
6 While the LPT rule may generate optimal schedules for some problem instances, it does not do so for all instances. How bad can LPT schedules be relative to optimal schedules? Theorem: [Graham] Let F*(I) be the finish time of an optimal m processor schedule for instance I of the task scheduling problem. Let F(I) be the finish time of an LPT schedule for the same instance, then |F*(I)-F(I)|/F*(I) 1/3 – 1/(3m) The proof of this theorem can be referred to the book Fundamentals of Computer Algorithms, E. Horowitz and S. Sahni, Pitman Publishing, 1978.
7 Bin Packing We are given n objects which have to be placed in bins of equal capacity L. Object i requires l i units of bin capacity. The objective is to determine the minimum number of bins needed to accommodate all n objects. Example: Let L = 10, n = 6 and (l 1, l 2, l 3, l 4, l 5, l 6 ) = (5, 6, 3, 7, 5,4) The bin packing problem is NP-complete.
8 Four heuristics One can derive many simple heuristics for the bin packing problem. In general, they will not obtain optimal packings. However, they obtain packings that use only a small fraction of bins more than an optimal packing. Four heuristics: First fit (FF) Best fit (BF) First fit Decreasing (FFD) Best fit Decreasing (BFD)
9 First-fit and Best-fit First-fit Index the bins 1, 2, 3,… All bins are initially filled to level 0. Objects are considered for packing in the order 1, 2, …, n. To pack object i, find the least index j such that bin j is filled to the level r (r L – l i ). Pack I into bin j. Bin j is now filled to level r + l i. Best-fit The initial conditions are the same as for FF. When object i is being considered, find the least j such that bin j is filled to a level r (r L – l i ) and r is as large as possible. Pack i into bin j. Bin j is now filled to level r + l i.
10 Example 1 3 6262 4 5 (a) First Fit 1 5 3232 4 6 (b) Best Fit
11 First-fit decreasing and Best-fit decreasing First-fit decreasing (FFD) Reorder the objects so that l i l i +1, 1 i n. Now use First-fit to pack the objects. Best-fit decreasing (BFD) Reorder the objects so that l i l i +1, 1 i n. Now use First-fit to pack the objects.
12 Example 3434 6262 5151 (c) First Fit Decreasing and Best Fit Decreasing FFD and BFD do better than either FF or BF on this instance. While FFD and BFD obtain optimal packings on this example, they do not in general obtain such a packings.
13 Theorem Let I be an instance of the bin packing problem and let F*(I) be the minimum number of bins needed for this instance. The packing generated by either FF or BF uses no more than (17/10)F*(I)+2 bins. The packings generated by either FFD or BFD uses no more than (11/9)F*(I)+4 bins. This proof of this theorem is long and complex (given by Johnson et al., 1974).

Importance of Nutritious Food for Different Age Groups of Family
Our family's health is our main concern. We always try hard to give them the best no matter whether it is food or clothing. We all cannot deny the fact that healthy and nutritious food is important for every living body. And it is no surprise that different age groups of people in our family need different type or food as they have varied nutritious requirement.
For instance pregnant women need more body-building foods such as milk, eggs, dried beans, dried fish, and nuts; regulating foods such as green, leafy and yellow vegetables; and foods rich in vitamin C such as papaya and guava; and energy food. Expectant mothers need these additional nutrients to meet their needs as well as of their growing fetus. Lactating mothers need the same nutrients but in even greater amounts.
The sick members of the family require the same type of food needed by the normally healthy. Their food should be modified however to make these easier to digest and to suit their nutritional needs. For example, the sick may need low-salt or low-fat diets.
The elderly (60 and above) need foods like fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and milk to keep their bodies fit and strong. Fish and meat dishes are better baked, boiled, or broiled rather than fried because frying adds to the fat content of the food. Unregulated intake of fats among the elderly increases the risks of cholesterol build-up and cardiovascular complications. Older people also need energy foods (rice, root crops, sugar). Regulating foods such as green, leafy and yellow vegetables protect the elderly from colds, illnesses, and eye problems. Fruits rich in vitamin C strengthen the gums and help the elderly resist infections. One can also check for the Manitoba made food products that are healthy and nutritious for the whole family.
A family of four sharing a bowl of rice and a whole fish will have more to eat than a family of seven sharing the same amount of food. Each member in the family of seven will get lesser nutrients from the meal than each members of the family of four. Such a situation will not be a problem if the servings can adequately meet the nutrients needs of the family of seven. But in many Filipino homes, the meal being served is prepared from a meager food budget.
The more family members there are to share a meal, the lesser servings there will be per family member. As a result, pre-schoolers may not have enough nutrients for their proper physical and mental development and for protection from illnesses. The school children may not have sufficient energy for play and work. The adolescents may not have adequate amounts of body building, energy, and regulating foods to cope with their accelerated physical growth as well as physiological and emotional changes. The special dietary needs of the elderly (low-salt, low-fat) may not be satisfied because there is not enough to prepare. Such conditions of inadequacy may lead to illnesses and under nutrition in the family.
Author is a blogger who writes about food and nutrition on his blog. He has recently reviewed about Generation Green Online where one can get the high quality organic as well as Manitoba made food products that are healthy for families.

The family life, the farm life, the mystery and the vision are revealed in "The Story of John Hendrix: Prophet of Oak Ridge" exhibition opening Nov. 9, the 145th anniversary of the birthday of John Hendrix, at the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge.
Utilizing family records, oral stories passed down through generations and artifacts related to Hendrix, Jack and Myra Mansfield of Oak Ridge collaborated with the museum to develop the exhibit, which will be on display through Jan. 30, 2011, in the museum lobby.
While the Mansfields were cleaning up property for an easy one-half mile historic nature trail along Hendrix Creek to develop the John Hendrix Memorial Prayer Walk, they found some early 20th century gates, a saw, canning jar and washboard which will be in the Hendrix display.
There will also be two sketches of what Hendrix may have looked like based on his son's photo and one of him building his house included.
Hendrix, born in to Luke and Jane Hendrix, on Nov. 9, 1865, was the eighth child in the family and was named after Jane's father. Prior to his birth in Robertsville, the family moved in 1862 from Morgan County, where Union soldiers and bands of militia harassed the community for food, clothing, horses and weapons.
At risk of the family farm being pillaged, they traveled by wagon as their older children walked beside it for two or three days on the old road from Morgan County to Anderson County.
The family settled in Robertsville (a community in today's Oak Ridge) and found a tenant house to rent in Bear Creek Valley, where today's Y-12 Plant is located.
During the next few years, the older Hendrix children left home to work for families in the community as housekeepers, marry and farm, and young Luke moved to Oliver Springs to operate a store.
With the departure of the six older siblings, Hendrix and his sister, Sarah, remained at home with their parents.
During his childhood, he trapped a red fox and took its pelt and redeemed if for $1 at the Anderson County Courthouse. This was an important kill, becausewolves and foxes carried off the farmers' calves, pigs and chickens.
Hendrix's mother died when he was a young teenager.
Eight years after her death, he married Julia Ann Griffith, a former Morgan County resident.
Hendrix obtained 35 acres off Emery Road in Robertsville, near a ferry crossing.
He gathered supplies from around the property to build a primitive one-room oblong-shaped cabin made of rough-hewn logs.
He would become a partner in a logging and construction buisiness, where he was paid 50 cents a day.
He and his wife had four children, and it was said that Hendrix was a good husband and father — a hard-working man who never missed a day of work.
With the death of his youngest daughter due to diphtheria, the departure of his wife and three remaining children to Arkansas and his inability to maintain his farm, Hendrix became very religious.
To search for understanding, he began taking long walks in the woods.
According to George Robinson's 1950s "The Oak Ridge Story," an astounding thing happened.
"On one occasion, John emerged from his beloved woods with a strange and wondrous story," Robinson wrote. 'In the woods,' he said, 'as I lay on the ground and looked up into the sky, there came to me a voice as loud and as sharp as thunder. The voice told me to sleep with my head on the ground for 40 nights, and I would be shown visions of what the future holds for this land.'"
Although Hendrix's birth and death are recorded, there is no documentation by John Hendrix about his vision about the building of Oak Ridge to end a great war.
Here is the legendary description of Hendrix's vision of the foretelling of Oak Ridge:
"Bear Creek Valley some day will be filled with great buildings and factories, and they will help toward winning one of the greatest wars that will ever be. There will be a city on Black Oak Ridge, and the center of authority will be on a spot middle-way between Sevier Tadlock's farm and Joe Pyatt's place.
"A railroad spur will branch off the main L&N line, run down toward Robertsville and then branch off and turn toward Scarbrough.
"Big engines will dig big ditches and thousand of people will be running to and fro. They will be building things and there will be great noise and confusion and the earth will shake. I've seen it. It's coming."
Hendrix died in 1915 at age 49 and is buried in Hendrix Creek, a subdivision in Oak Ridge.
The American Museum of Science and Energy is at 300 S. Tulane Ave.
It is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m Monday through Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Age discrimination is rampant. So what can you do about their problem?
When a hiring manager is concerned you are at the same age or older than his/her parents, this is a failure of an employer to train their managers.
UNDERSTAND: Employers are focused on profits, productivity and lower
insurance costs and time away from work. Selling your
experience and abilities and health will help dispell this.
Before threatening or suggesting any action against an
employer consult legal counsel with your documentation.
Reference material: Lumps of Labor Theory Debunked dealing with older workers
The secret includes understanding what is happening and the mindset. Do NOT enter an interview with "guns blazing". Deflect their preconceived perception you are too old.
Some cardinal rules:
1. Never discuss High School or Jr. High School Graduation dates.
2. The US Military Draft ended January 27, 1973. Watch out for that question.
3. You are not required to provide if you are married or on what date.
4. College dates are fair game; decide for yourself how to address those.
It will likely come up in a background check.
5. Do not discuss children, especially the birthdate of your first born or adoption.
6. Avoid what date you received your Driver's License. Only confirm you have one.
7. Do not discuss your first election you voted in or who you supported.
8. If you have military experience, avoid your discharge date or where you fought,
but you indicate an honorable discharge and whether you saw combat. These
days that could be Korea to the Middle East.
9. Avoid popular TV shows you watched as that can quickly date you.
10. Avoid including any clues to date on Facebook or other social media forums.
11. You do not have to indicate City and State of birth, only if you are a US Citizen.
Sad, but these add up to factors which can, intentionally or not, remove or diminish your chances for employment or prevent merit based career advancement, raises and rewards. This is where a seldom enforced violation of the law becomes a unjustifiable act against good capable people, harms employee moral and diminishes interest in long term employment with a company ... because no one gets younger at their job. Talent has no age constraint.
Unfortunately many only view the perceptions of age, and overlook the difference each generation has demonstrated in regard to life styles, commitment and work habits.
Marc Cenedella (Founder, Executive Chairman and CEO of Ladders, Inc.) wrote a piece on age which is worth visiting at https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/kid-interviewing-says-youre-old/
3x Year Olds: Shape the Long Term
4x Year Olds: What has your impact and legacy been?
5x Year Olds: Find Meaning
6x Year Olds: Be Flexible
7x Year Olds: Be More Flexible
This will be the next shock to employers as life expectancies extend with people healthier but costs continuing to increase. Defined benefit plans were mostly phased out and many lost value as companies did not manage them well or at all. Delaying Social Security can help your total payments - check the rules as they can and will continue to change. Continued employment can help you avoid severe reductions in your retirement savings from unplanned catastrophic events such as Alzheimer's which can develop suddenly. Remember what you take out from retirement is taxable so be smart on how you save in regard to tax liabilities and the mandatory withdrawal of tax deferred accounts. Consider a gradual movement from funds into a ROTH which can be inherited and no known "draw down" requirements. This places the tax liability potentially into years when earning less to minimize the big hits later. Considering using a tax and/or investment advisor to protect your savings to the greatest legal extent to insure more funds when you are most exposed to injury or illness and want to insure funds for your survivors, potentially through trusts or other vehicles. Assume the worst, plan for it being more so and hope you were a pessimist. We all gotta go sometime, so plan to go in comfort, good health and style.

Why are people saying he is?
Because Warne has just announced his retirement from international cricket. He will play just two more Test matches, both, inevitably, against England, the team he has tormented with his spin for as long as the current crop of batsmen can remember. When sportsmen retire, the superlatives come out, and all the more so when the retirement is smartly timed. Warne is going earlier than expected, while close to the height of his powers - in this series he has wobbled at times, but has still had a hand in each of England's three defeats so far. By making the announcement now, Warne has guaranteed himself two thunderous send-offs, first at Melbourne, his home ground, which was already expecting to break all attendance records next week, and then at Sydney, back where he started, 15 years ago, as a greenhorn dyed-blonde beach bum with only four first-class matches under his belt.
So, is he really the greatest player ever?
Some good judges are saying so, among them Nasser Hussain, the former England captain who is now a sharp-witted commentator. But players are not always best placed to judge historical issues. Hussain would have seen little of the first 100 years of Test cricket. Warne is certainly there or thereabouts, as cricket people say. In 2000 he was named as one of the Five Cricketers of the Century by a 100-person panel of experts convened by Wisden, the game's so-called bible. It was a tremendous honour: Warne was the only man still playing to make the top five, and the only one without a knighthood. But the voting rather suggested that he wasn't the greatest player of all. Each expert had five votes, so it was possible for a player to score the full 100. Don Bradman, universally acknowledged as the greatest batsman of all, did just that. Garry Sobers, probably the greatest all-rounder, got 90.
Warne finished fourth with 27 votes, jostling for position with the pre-war English batsman Jack Hobbs (30) and the West Indian master blaster Viv Richards (25).
How has he done recently?
Warne has added to his legend in the six years since 2000, despite missing one of them through a drugs ban. He has become the most prolific of all Test bowlers, with 699 wickets; when he began, in 1992, the world record stood at 431, so he has taken the game into uncharted waters. But the Wisden vote confirms that Bradman and Sobers are widely considered to have been greater players.
Bradman's record towers above every other batsman's: he had a Test batting average of 99, while nobody else with a significant career has managed more than 60. Sobers is one of the cluster of batsmen in the high 50s, and the only one who was also a very good bowler. So those two are both way out in front in their category.
Warne, for all his brilliance, isn't: his Test bowling average, 25 runs for every wicket, and strike rate, 57 balls per wicket, are great but not the best of his time, or even his team. And he hasn't had to bowl at the many excellent Australian batsmen of the past 15 years.
So he's not that great?
On the contrary - he is a fabulous cricketer. There are plenty of superlatives he can be garlanded with. He is definitely the greatest leg-spin bowler there has been. Leg-spin is a fiendishly difficult art: most of its exponents are erratic and expensive. Warne's unique contribution has been to bring extreme accuracy and economy to the task, while still spinning the ball miles and attacking the batsman at almost all times. He is probably the most watchable cricketer since WG Grace, in Victorian times, and, thanks to television, much more watched. He has the greatest sense of theatre of any player of the modern era, which began with the launch of Kerry Packer's circus in 1977. He is a genius, a superstar, an original. He has made the game more exciting. That's more important than whether he has been the greatest player of all.
Is he the best player of our time?
Maybe. He is the best slow bowler whose action has not been questioned; Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka, a brilliant off-spinner who explores the borders of legality, takes even more wickets per Test than Warne, for even fewer runs. And Warne's current captain, Ricky Ponting, is the best player in the world right now - the one winning the most Test matches. Three of Warne's other contemporaries are all-time greats - his opponents Brian Lara of the West Indies and Sachin Tendulkar of India, and his team-mates Adam Gilchrist and Glenn McGrath. Gilchrist is a great attacking batsman who happens also to keep wicket (no easy task with Warne in the team).
He isn't quite a rival for the crown, but McGrath is: he is a phenomenally consistent seam bowler who, like Muralitharan, takes wickets more often than Warne and at a lower cost. McGrath has the edge over Warne in one key area: he has done well in India, where Warne has struggled (Indian batsmen play spin better than most). But he doesn't capture the imagination in the same way. Then again, cricket has a ranking system, the LG Ratings, and Warne isn't top of its list of bowlers - Muralitharan is. So you'll see that the argument goes on.
Is it even possible to measure these things?
Yes and no. Cricket is the most statistical of the non-American sports, so there is plenty of evidence. But measuring a batsman against a bowler is tricky, and you also have to bear in mind that, as someone famously said, cricket is a team game played by individuals. Lara and Tendulkar have won fewer Test matches than Warne, but then they have played in some ordinary teams. Warne is part of one of the great teams of all time. This means he deserves even more credit for the 699 wickets, since there were often other top-class bowlers, led by McGrath, competing for them; but it also means the team will have lifted him some of the way to the heights.
Is he just known for cricket?
Far from it. He has been one of the most colourful sportsmen of his time. He smokes, drinks, swears, disputes decisions and sends lecherous text messages. When match-fixing was threatening the game's fabric, it emerged that he had flirted with the illegal bookies. When he got caught taking a banned substance, he blamed his mum. The sex and drugs stories show that he has been the first rock'n'roll cricketer, the George Best of the game - except that unlike poor old Best, he has kept going, and has made full use of every ounce of his talent. We really won't see his like again.
Is Warne's achievement really unparalleled in cricket?
* He has taken more test wickets than any other bowler in the history of the game
* He has consistently excelled in the difficult and often erratic art of leg spinning
* He has brought a larger-than-life personality and unique zest to the game
* His performance as bowler cannot compare to that of Don Bradman as batsman
* Even as a bowler, his average runs per wicket has been less than that of others, including his team-mate McGrath
* His escapades off the field and his suspension for drugs have made him a poor role model for the youngReuse content

Suggs says Sunday was a typical Ravens win
The Sports Xchange
The second-seeded Baltimore Ravens got their first
postseason win at home since 2006. But it wasn't easy.
The defense had to make three consecutive stands
in the final quarter before Baltimore emerged with a 20-13 victory over
the Houston Texans in an AFC divisional playoff game on Sunday.
"I think it was a Ravens-type victory," outside
linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "I always say this: 'There's a right way
to do things, there's a wrong way to do things, and then there's the
Ravens' way to do things.' It wasn't really pretty, but hey, we're not
really a pretty team. We got the 'W' and on to the AFC Championship."
If you're looking for pretty, check out the
top-seeded New England Patriots, Baltimore's opponent on Sunday.
The Ravens put forth a physical, frustrating
performance that didn't wow observers, but did cement their place in
their second AFC championship game in four years.
The offense at times spun its wheels in the turf
at M&T Bank Stadium, gaining just 227 yards, converting just
4-of-16 chances on third down, and averaging just 2.8 yards per carry.
The defense was similarly uneven, failing to sack
rookie quarterback T.J. Yates even once and allowing a 100-yard rusher
and receiver to Arian Foster (132 rushing yards and one touchdown) and
Andre Johnson (111 receiving yards).
But the key was turnovers. Baltimore fumbled three
times, but recovered each loose ball. Yates tossed three interceptions,
and punt returner Jacoby Jones muffed a punt, and the Ravens turned
three of those takeaways into 17 points.
"You always want to play a little better, and the
film is not going to lie," said running back Ray Rice, who was handed
the ball 21 times but managed just 60 rushing yards. "We know we have
some things to work on. They had a great pass rush, and they got inside
of us a little bit, but you have to take what's there and there wasn't
a lot there today. Our guys did a great job of blocking them. We'll get
it corrected. It's just another week that we have to get it corrected.
We always like to say we strive for perfection. We realize nobody is
perfect, but we are trying to get there."
Now the Ravens get to strategize against a
Patriots squad that obliterated the Denver Broncos, 45-10, on Saturday
night and is eager to make amends for a 33-14 thumping by Baltimore in
the 2009 postseason.
"You win the game no matter what," coach John
Harbaugh said unapologetically. "That's what it really boils down to in
a situation like this. This football team won the game no matter what.
It wasn't perfect by any stretch, but they found a way to win the
football game."
TRENDING: The Ravens had not allowed an opposing
running back to rush for 100 yards for 15 consecutive post-season
games. That streak ended on Sunday as Arian Foster gained 132 yards on
27 carries. The streak had been the third-longest active one in the NFL.
UNDER THE RADAR: With Foster gashing the heart of
the Ravens defense, nose tackle Brandon McKinney's size (6-2, 345
pounds) allowed him to contribute three tackles and perhaps seal his
role in a rotation with starting nose tackle Terrence Cody.

Torino Danza Festival 2010 comes back in September
Tags: ballets in turin, dance ballets in turin, dance in turin, events 2010 in turin, events in Turin, performances in turin, shows in turin, theaters in turin, torino danza festival 2010, turin dance festival
Even if it's still summertime, today we would like to talk about an autumnal event for all the lovers of dance, ballet and music. We are talking about Torino Danza Festival 2010, which will take place in Turin from 7th September to 13th November 2010.
This edition will be subdivided into 3 different sections: "Miti", which focuses on the esthetics and the beauty of physical movements linked to the music, "Scene dagli anni Ottanta", which comes back to the origins of contemporary times through some of the masterpieces of dance' history, and "Platel e les ballets C de la B", which explores the op position between pain and hope through the enchanting poit of view of Alain Platel and his company.
Torinodanza festival 2010 will be inaugurated with Balanchine-Kylián of the Royal Ballet of Flanders on Tuesday 7th September at Teatro Regio in Turin with its first Italian premiere. The company from Belgium will arrive to Turin with three titles: Theme and Variations by George Balanchine, Forgotten Land and 27' 52" by Jirí Kylián.
The second show offered by Torinodanza will be "you PARA ? DISO", which will include one of the most famous choreographer in Europe, the Italian Emio Greco, who now lives in Amsterdam. The show will go on the stage on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th September at Fonderie Limone in the town of Moncalieri. After HELL and [purgatorio] POPOPERA, you PARA?DISO will end the cycle inspired from the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, with a choreography that wants to reveal the deepest memory of body.
The second section, "Scene dagli anni Ottanta", will come back to make us think about the power of the 80s. on Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd October, the company Rosas will be present at the Cavallerizza Reale with Rosas danst Rosas, with the choreography by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. The show will focus on the representation of tensions and the contrast between rationality and emotions.
The third section, "Platel e les ballets C de la B" will take place together with Prospettiva 2, the theater festival connected to contemporary times at the Teatro Stabile in Turin, this year at its 2nd edition.
With the director and choreographer Alain Platel we will explore the op position between suffering and the need of revenge, between pain and hope: the secret of human life.
On Friday 29th and 30th October, at Cavallerizza Reale, there will be the Italian premiere of "Primero erscht", the new creation by Lisi Estaras with les ballets C de la B.
On 9th and 10th November at Fonderie Limone in Moncalieri, there will be "Out of Context – for Pina", in order to pay homage to the great artist Pina Bausch.

The arrival of the internet has dramatically changed not only how people work and shop but how they live and love as well. Dating websites are a boon for the contemporary singles who want to reach out to a far wider range of potential partners but cannot afford to waste time on unsuitable dates. MatchAffinity.com is one such site which offers its members a surfeit of options when it comes to dating and relationships.
Click here to sign up at Match Affinity and see photo profiles in less than 2 mins
This is a relatively new site launched by the people behind Match.com, a far more popular US dating website. MatchAffinity.com primarily targets users from United Kingdom even though it has options for people from other international locations to sign up as well. This online dating portal is predominantly targeted toward singles looking for a lasting relationship. Married people and those interested in casual or adult dating are not encouraged to become its members. The response has been excellent, as we know from our readers.
Signing up with MatchAffinity.com is free and quite simple. All one needs to do is follow step-by-step an easy five-level process. The first of this involves creating one's unique username and password with basic personal information regarding age, gender, location and the like. The second step deals with taking the affinity test which is the highlight of the website. This test not only gives the member a fairly accurate idea about his/her own personality but also comes up with a list of suggested matches who would be best suited for the member - areas which make up the third and fourth step respectively of the signing up process. The fifth and final step of getting started allows the new member to choose a potential match and send the first message which is free.
An essential part of signing up with MatchAffinity.com involves taking the site's 'affinity test' which is actually a comprehensive personality assessment. According to the website, it has been put together by a 'team of psychologists specialized in psychometrics and the dynamics of personal relationships'. The affinity test consists of ninety-seven questions which deal with areas like values, opinions, personality and expectations of the member. The test is supposed to be based on seventy-one psychological criteria ranging from fundamental values to views on family life. The affinity test serves two basic purposes. On one hand, it allows a member to get his/her own comprehensive personality report. All reports are stored within the MatchAffinity databases and compared against each other, so that a member's values, outlook on life and unique personality traits get to be weighed up against those of a potential match. This brings to the second purpose of the affinity test, namely the profile of an ideal partner for that particular personality type as well as a list of suitable matches based on a similarity percentage between that particular member and every other member in the MatchAffinity community.
Meet millionaire men and women from North America and Europe looking for someone to date
The main advantage of the Match Affinity Test is that it allows a member to weed out incompatible matches and focus on those potential partners who might share his/her way of thinking even before having any contact with them. This helps one to avoid nasty surprises in actual interaction, for instance a music lover may find a potential date assuming that Wagner is a kind of car model.
Only member profiles makes up the basic viewing option on this site since to view photos of potential matches one needs to be a paid member. However MatchAffinity users find it relatively to create their own profiles since many of the relevant questions are already covered in the affinity test. Besides this the ability to compare profiles makes it less important for members to come up with witty introductions on their profiles. However that option is also open for those who have the knack for coming up with cool and original descriptions. Basic members can upload their photos and can even choose whether to make them clearly visible to all or only to selected members. However this option cuts both ways since a member may not be allowed to see clear photos of other potential matches.
Among the search options open to a member are quick as well as advanced, of which the latter gives one an opportunity to narrow down a search according to specific terms. While the results of the searches all come up with their compatibility scores, one cannot sort out results on the basis of that score. Other than these, the system has its method of listing the most suitable matches for a member according to the results of the affinity test. However the results throw up a long list of names with only their ages and occupations mentioned so that it is up to the member to do the sifting to arrive at the most preferred matches.
As far as communication tools are concerned, the first step needs to be taken by the member in the form of sending an email. Or he/she can hope to be picked out by someone whose profiles he/she has visited and liked, since the site shows who have visited a particular member's profile. Also a member has the option to 'like' or 'unlike' a profile which means that the preferred profiles will appear in the member's favorite list as well as intimate the other person that his/her profile has been 'liked'. The major downside in communication tools is that neither live chat nor video messaging options are available.
MatchAffinity.com offers its members the option of video coaching which includes general tips on creating a profile as well as dos and don'ts of online dating. However the telephone coaching is a much more personalized service even though available only to paid members and in return of a small fee.
Like most other dating sites, registration with MatchAffinity.com is free. Among other facilities included in the free membership are browsing as well as sending the first message to a preferred match. However if a member wishes to view photos of potential matches or communicate on a proper basis, he/she would need to go for paid membership. One can choose from various kinds of membership plans at MatchAffinity.com
3 month membership for £ 87
6 month membership for £ 114
12 month membership for £ 168
Payment options for subscription include cheque and credit card or debit card, either online from the site or by phone via the site payments team.
MatchAffinity.com does not have the facility of running background check on its members for verification of age or marital status. However certain features like the option to block unwanted contact or to decide who can view a member's photos ensure a degree of online privacy and security.
Overall, MatchAffinity.com is pretty much built around its Affinity Test which is an efficient as well as fun way to know about one's own personality as well as the profile of an ideal partner

Decred (DCR) is a digital currency created back in 2015 by Bitcoin's BTCSuite developers, an alternative full node bitcoin implementation written in Go.
"Decred uses a hybridized consensus system to strike a balance between miners and users to create a more robust currency", as it was created both with proof of work (PoW) and with proof of stake (PoS).
This hybrid consensus system allows users to create a balance between proof-of-work miners and proof-of-stake users in order to have a much more robust consensus.
This relatively new cryptocurrency aims at addressing issues related to the increasing centralization of power within the bitcoin blockchain and the growing conflict of interest between the bitcoin community and those who fund the Bitcoin core project.
Also, it is important to say that Decred can be both mined and staked.
When Bitcoin was originally released, it was working in a market that didn't exist before. There were issues that could be fixed thanks to new digital currencies such as Litecoin or Dogecoin.
Of course, time is showing that Bitcoin is not a failure at all and it radically changed the idea of money.
Decred has several new features in order to combine the very best of proof-of-work and proof-of-stake chains with the main objective of utilising both systems in Decred.
Also, Decred defines itself as "self-funded and progressive" and it relies completely on a community governance and opensource features.
Decred developer Christina Jepson explained:
"The intention is not to attack what we currently have in Bitcoin. We want to recognize what has been done well, but instead, we want to take that and improve on what we think can be done better… That is the spirit that started the technology and we want to return to that to explore options to problems we cannot explore in the current system while we continue to support the Bitcoin software. Alternatives are progress and a way forward to improve the greater ecosystem."
That said, if you want to start buying and selling Decred coins, you will need the right wallet to store them properly.
Recently, we at HolyTransaction added a new wallet on our platform in order to allow you to store your Decred right behind your bitcoin and more than other 20 digital currencies.
Within the same login, in fact, you can store all your cryptocurrencies in a safe place with low fees.

According to a recent paper published by Bank of Canada, researches explain that Bitcoin regulation is necessary for it to reach worldwide success.
A paper published this week, in fact, suggests that digital currencies like bitcoin won't succeed in the long-term without any government support.
To write this research, experts examinated the viability of virtual currency, looking to previous examples of Canadian currency such as the so-called "Dominion" as a guide.
This is not the first time Bank of Canada is involved in blockchain and bitcoin-related projects.
A few months ago, in fact, we saw Bank of Canada involved in the so-called "Project Jasper" to develop a prototype system for issuing a bank-backed digital currency and a payment system using the technology.
While we are still waiting to know more details about Project Jasper, the just released paper explains a common thinking among central banks on the topic of cryptocurrencies: bitcoin and other private digital currencies need goverment support to succeed.
"We conclude that well designed and managed private digital currencies could circulate widely but only with appropriate government regulation to ensure their safety, soundness, and uniformity."
Bank of Canada has already expressed its concern about digital currency, saying a few years ago that digital money popularity could reduce the effectiveness of monetary policy.
"A central bank can always get its digital currency into circulation, but its digital currency will not necessarily drive out existing private digital currencies," wrote the authors of the paper.
From Poland to Denmark, from Switzerland and Japan, several countries all around the world are working on Bitcoin regulation projects.
Recently European Commission created also a task force to study and regulate digital currencies and the blockchain within the whole country.

A few days ago we at HolyTransaction decided to allow you to store a new digital currency on our platform, by creating a Gamecredits wallet.
Gamecredit is a new payment gateway for the gaming industry that aims at avoid limitations and challenges linked to the traditional payment solutions.
This digital currency is backed by its blockchain (proof of work), providing gamers and gaming companies with a variety of unique benefits such as:
With a genesis block created back in 2014, Gamecredits was developed by a team of developers and game lovers that launched their innovative payment solution in the popular game called Fragoria, a 8 million player RPG (Role-Playing Game) designed by Datcroft Games.
The VP of Development at GameCredits and owner of Datcroft Games, Sergey Sholom explained:
"As a Game developer I experience many problems with traditional payment methods. These problems include chargebacks/fraud, payment processing periods, and consumer deposit limits".
In fact, traditional payment methods often take a few days to process transactions and your deposit limits can be very low.
GameCredits allow you to process payments in minutes and give players higher purchasing power, so you can enjoy transferability and control over cash flows.
Also, according to the recent article published by Forbes you can read here, Gamecredits could be able to popularize cryptocurrencies all around the world.
In the next future, Gamecredits will also launch a new mobile store, or a blockchain based mobile game platform where you will find over 300 games from 150 different game developers. This app will be available in early second quarter 2017, as revealed in a press release.
As I said, HolyTransaction is very proud to include this new digital currency among its multicurrency wallet.
From now on, in fact, you can store your Gamecredits on our platform.
Just like Bitcoin and our other digital currencies, you can now:
So, HolyTransaction multicurrency wallet can now support: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Dash, Tether, Blackcoin and the recent added Gamecredits and Faircoin.
Open your Gamecredits wallet by clicking here.

any HolyTransaction's user for free, and make crypto-to-crypto transfers between Faircoin, Gamecredits, and seven more cryptocurrency's networks.

Soon many cities around the world will issue their own digital currency.
According to Pavel Bains, in fact, within the next 10 years we'll see the first city that have its own digital money and that is separates from the national fiat currency.
This could be the right time for cities to exploit the blockchain and adop their own currency.
But for a new digital currency to be adopted quickly it needs the following characteristics, according to Bains (and we tent to agree with him):
Bains is pretty sure that the first city to adopt a digital currency will be Glasgow.
This because the Scottish city failed to benefit from the England pound and it came close to a recession back in 2015.
Also, Brexit opened a real issue for Scotland's future with the potential loss of trades. Demand for Scotland's products is already declining: in that year there was an 11% drop in exports compared to 2.7% for the UK and with Brexit the situation can only get worse.
But Glasgow has the right tools to adopt its own digital currency. These the major reasons according to Bains:

A new Blockchain Tourism project will be created in the State of Hawaii, where legislators decided to form a new working group focused on the blockchain tech.
If approved, the House Bill 1481 will lead to the creation of a task force with the goal of researching the use and practices related to the distributed ledger technology.
This project is sponsored by Democratic Representatives Chris Lee and Mark Nakashima.
The official bill explained:
"The legislature finds that highly innovative technologies such as blockchain require an educated and measured approach so that regulations do not stymie innovation and growth in this State."
The long-term goal, the bill states, is to seek ways for the technology to benefit local industries, residents and the State of Hawaii.
Should the measure be approved, the working group will have to prepare a report about the potential use cases specific to the State of Hawaii.
This research would also provide information on how the state itself could leverage the blockchain.
Among the areas of interest, of course, there would be the topic of tourism payments.
The bill also suggests that Hawaii should look to the technology as a way to encoure tourists from abroad to spend, improving the local economy.
"Digital currencies such as bitcoin have broad benefits for Hawaii. A large portion of Hawaii's tourism market comes from Asia where the use of bitcoin as a virtual currency is expanding," the bill reads. "Hawaii has the unique opportunity to explore the use of blockchain technology to make it easier for visitors to consume local goods and services and to drive the tourism economy."
This Hawaiian bill is only one of the latest legislative efforts to be issued regarding the blockchain technology topic.
For example, in 2016 the State of Vermont proposed to modify a few laws of the country to allow blockchain data to be valid during trials.
This Legislative record also explained that the Vermont Senate introduced another bill to edit the country's financial regulations to account for businesses that work in the digital currencies industry.

Microsoft is working on the newest Webjet Blockchain project to allow users booking travels through the distributed ledger.
Microsoft, in fact, is testing a blockchain proof-of-concept developed together with the Australian travel agency called Webjet for a pilot that will be ready during this year.
During a speech given at the CoinDesk's annual conference titled Construct 2017, Cale Teeter and Eric Maino, or Microsoft senior software development engineer and technical architect, commented that they think that the project, which looking for make travel bookings easier by using a blockchain-based system, will reach its development status during the next few months.
"Webjet wanted to see, instead of everyone running their own proprietary systems, a system that connects companies they own. They've been running their real data through it and they've been finding interest discrepancies in the business, and they're hoping to expand it out," said Maino.
Revealed in November, the Webjet managing director John Guscic explained that the online booking system has become apt to be developed thanks to the several systems used for its business projects including the hotel room wholesaling.
"Between five and 10% of bookings can be impacted or, in other words, up to $10bn-worth of transactions," Guscic explained in a previous statement.
Microsoft is not new to blockchain-based project. Earlier this year, in fact, the computer well-known company revealed its project called Manifest for tracking products worldwide. Read more by clicking here.

People's Bank of China (PBOC) is working on a China Blockchain project for a new digital currency.
According to an article published by Caixin yesterday, the People's Bank of China completed a project on 15th December during which it tested how transactions could work by using a custom blockchain system.
The test was held together with major Chinese commercial banks including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), Bank of China and WeBank.
The official press release reports:
"The bank suggested the digital currency would not only reduce circulation costs but also increase transparency and curb money laundering and tax evasion."
Also, the official report just released explained that the new China Blockchain digital currency might be connected to the Shanghai Commercial Paper Exchange to create a "national platform for bank bill transactions".
Together with this new project the PBOC will also open a digital currency research institute for which it is looking for experts in big data, fintech, cryptography and distributed ledger technology.
The official report shared by the PBOC governor Zhou Xiaochuan in February, also explained that the central bank was considering the distributed ledger as one of a few different technologies that can be allow it to create a new form of digital cash.
Also, this project coincides with the current PBOC's investigations into the most important bitcoin exchanges of the country, an operation that started in January and that has seen several startups doing a few changes to trading policies.

A technology originally created for NASA communication now will be used by the new Microsoft blockchain project that will help tracking products worldwide.
Microsoft Blockchain's Project called Manifest can also help to ensure the origin of the material used and the labor used to build the products, conforming them to company's standards.
Thanks to a partnership with Mojix, Project Manifest uses Internet of Things (IoT) platform that is currently integrated with the Ethereum blockchain to help companies to track items using a radio frequency identification device (RFID).
This kind of implementation is able to inform each member of the supply chain about the history of a shipped product.
During a recent interview with Microsoft's strategist Yorke Rhodes, he explained why this partnership was chosen:
"Project Manifest is actually designed to look at the challenges of visibility in the supply chain. One of the reasons why we worked with Mojix is because they already have technology and know-how in supply chains for scanning RFIDs."
An early version of the Microsoft blockchain solution now integrates Mojix's platform, called ViZix, with a smart contracts and it was exhibited during an event held last week at the National Retail Federation in NYC.
The ViZix integration has been designed to exploit the rapidly growing rate that goods are being labelled with RFID, Bluetooth and GPS sensors.
"The consumer would like to be able to see where the goods are to make sure they're not coming from slave labor and things like that," said Yorke. "By way of giving consumers the ability to do that we'd like to push certain parts of the data to a public blockchain."
In addition to the Mojix partnership, Project Manifest also includes work with a standards body and support from the academic sector.
In fact, Project Manifest confirmed that two professors and 10 students from Auburn University's RFID lab will also participate to the group.
Also, the lab has been engaged with seven brands and three retailers for seeking to create new ways to deal with a recent growth in supply chain data.
This team is studying and testing electronic proof of delivery, vendor scorecarding, anti-counterfeiting, anti-grey market, and data exchange data.
And a report about these researches is expected by the end of 2017.

Reviews for Bookmarker - the universal sidebar for social bookmarking networks
11 reviews for this add-on
Needs to be updated (seems an abandonned extension), No Delicious, no Diigo, and no Google Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I would love it.
But sadly, doesn't work for the new Delicious (shows only tags, but no bookmarks), nor the new Diigo API (shows nothing) I don't know for 6 or 7 other services, I don't use them.
Google Bookmarks not supported as a sidebar feature... Rated 2 out of 5 stars
The concept is a novel idea, especially since it is the only add-on that works in the FF 4.0 beta version. The sad fact is that it does not support the sidebar API. Please update so this can be used within the newest beta version! As a teacher and grad student, I rely heavily on my Google Bookmarks
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
This seems like a great add-on but it sadly doesn't seem to work with the new delicious accounts that work with yahoo credentials. In an upcoming update maybe?
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I thought, I could configure new sites, but it is only possible by creating an alltagz account. This is not what it should be!
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Claims to support google, but actually doesn't.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.0.20080913).
A lean alternative Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This extension is leaner than Del.icio.us' add-on. Great!
Somehow I continue wishing for a bookmarker that seamlessly synchronizes my places.sqlite with a social bookmarking service, including tags.
disappointment Rated 1 out of 5 stars
After reading it supports diigo I give it a try.
To my disappointment the sidebar (after asking my login, password) gave me a message about no support of diigo in the current version.
My bookmaker of choice Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I've just started working with Delicious and I've tried the various extensions available. I find this to be the best of them all. The only thing I'd like is a middle-mouse-click opening for bookmarks in a new tab.
Thank you for this extension and I hope you keep it updated.
Small fixes remaining then - perfection Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This add-on is really helpful, but the following is bugging me:
* Ability to open links in new tab (eg. middle-mouseclick them)
* New bookmarks doesn't show up until manual update
testing Rated 4 out of 5 stars
very useful add-on.
I can sort my bookmarks by tagz.
super idea Rated 4 out of 5 stars
It's working with del.icio and I find the idea to select multiple tags together super, but some my bookmarks are not shown, I think you need convert some special characters.. and, I hope, after fixing the bugs you will receive the max note 10This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.4).

Alline is the BEST-!
Been seeing Aline for several years now and continue to be impressed by her knowledge of that latest medical information and her endless compassion. Twice she has needed to refer me to a specialist that she personally recommended- and both times I was thrilled. Her nurse and staff are also great. I've had to see Dr. Raley a few times- he was nice, but seemed distant and even a little condescending. I feel very lucky that someone recommended her to me- now it's my turn to pay it forward!

overpriced and misdiagnosed twice
I have been to Dr. Raley for several years and have finally decided he's not where I should be going. He's a loan practitioner, and that means if you have any co-pay on your annual check-up, you'll pay out the nose. My basic bloodwork and visit with a 20% copay was $400 out of my pocket.Also, he has misdiagnosed me in some very basic cases that have lead to major medical bills and even surgery. I had a high CPK level. This is often the result of having worked out before a lab test, but instead of suggesting I not work out for a week and come back to be retested, he sent me to a neurologist who subsequently (after more inconclusive tests) had me have a muscle biopsy. Much pain and several thousand dollars later, I was told there was no problem, I'd probably just worked out too close to the initial test. Also, I had an awful headache one day (it had woken me during the night), Dr. Raley's office suggested I go straight to the emergency room for a possible aneurysm. I don't believe the nurse checked with Raley, but she put me on hold for 5 minutes, consulted "the doctor" and came back telling me I really needed immediate care and an MRI. $2000 later, I had a headache still. The emergency room physician asked me 3 questions and said any doctor should have been able to tell I had nothing more than nasal congestion leading to a migraine. He and his staff have misdiagnosed me twice to the cost of almost $5000 and a scar on my left thigh. He himself is expensive since he is stand alone. I would not recommend him.

Fairway America plays lead advisory role in creation of Houston Texas based mortgage pool fund
HOUSTON, TX (PRWEB) August 19, 2014 - Fairway America, LLC ("Fairway"), a Portland Oregon based real estate asset based advisory and investment firm, announced today the formation of the 212 Asset Fund ("212") out of Houston, Texas. 212 will be managed by real estate finance veterans Tom Kenney, Mike Rebescher and Scott McClellan.
212 is the latest 506 Regulation D fund Fairway has facilitated for clients from all over the United States, including Columbus, OH; Boston, MA; Los Angeles, CA; Austin, TX; Dallas, TX; Charlotte, NC; San Francisco, CA; New York, NY; Minneapolis, MN; and more.
Kenney's origination company, ISB Capital, is one of Texas' leading private money lenders originating construction and rehab loans for residential property investors throughout Texas and the Southeast. He wanted to establish the fund in order to be able to expand his operations into other targeted markets around the United States, including Atlanta, GA; Minneapolis, MN; and Denver, CO.
Kenney met Fairway executives at the American Association of Private Lenders (AAPL) conference in 2012 and attended Fairway's Private Lending Summit in 2013 before hiring Fairway earlier this year to help him structure and create his first pooled investment fund.
212 will also leverage Fairway's expertise to handle the ongoing back-end administration for the Fund's activities in order to concentrate on origination, construction monitoring, and asset management.
"Our construction loan operations and processes are very detailed and sophisticated," said Kenney. "I felt that Fairway's fund administration would bring those same disciplines to the administration side so we can feel confident when dealing with our investors."
Fairway's CEO Matt Burk sees this as a major trend among Fairway's clients and, given his long background in running pooled investment funds, he completely understands why. "Really knowing the ins and outs of administering a pooled investment fund takes many years," said Burk. "This is one of the main areas of concern, along with raising capital, that most potential fund managers have going into a new fund. Our administration services are designed to eliminate that fear and make it easy for our clients."
Burk was very impressed with Kenney during his interactions with Kenney over the course of the engagement. "Tom had an excellent overall grasp of his business model and the direction he wanted to take his fund," said Burk. "We had a lot of back and forth on his strategy and an appropriate structure for that strategy, and Tom consistently demonstrated an understanding of the issues as we put everything together. Clients like 212 are what makes this business fun."
About ISB Capital, LLC
212 was founded by the principals of ISB Capital, LLC and Networth Realty USA, LLC. These entities have been significant players in the field of real estate investment lending in TX and the southeastern part of the United States for the last several years.
