I'm thinking about it….
Yes, I'm thinking about it. What's "it"? I'm thinking about getting back to writing on my blog. Maybe baby steps. Once a week? Every other week?
I haven't felt like anything I have to say is relevant to anyone else but myself. I can write blogs all day long in my head, but in the end, it's only amusing to me. Who reads my nonsense ramblings about how to get even with the Financial Aid department (it was a quite elaborate plan that possibly involved ninja's and Chuck Norris) or my many irritations with daily life. My lack of tolerance for people I don't know in general could have a whole THESIS written out by now.
Skyler's visiting for the summer. I guess I could write about our adventures and how the preteen hormones of a 10 year old are starting to come out and OH.MY.GOD!!! My dogs are insane and we won't even start on my family, you know, since they read this :)
I'm thinking about it. Sometimes I hope it can be witty and amusing and other times I KNOW it will be mundane and trivial and boring, but I guess it is a way to get some things out and secretly some of you can relate and nod your head :)

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Partnerships
Apollo Next Giant Leap Student Challenge
The Montana Learning Center has been chosen as one of 14 institutions nationwide as regional hubs for Apollo 50th Next Giant Leap Student Challenge, a competition for middle school and high school students. The aeronautics, engineering and robotics competition is hosted by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Northwest Earth and Space Sciences Pipeline, a collaborative K-12 education effort based at the University of Washington in Seattle.
The competition recreates the challenges that faced the Apollo 11 moon landing. Each team will need to create a replica of the Apollo Lunar Module that will be landed with a remote controlled drone on a map of the lunar surface. Teams will come to the MLC in July to recreate the historic Apollo 11 lunar landing. The student challenge manual is available online here and details the challenge and equipment to be used.
Registration for the 25 teams in each division closes March 30. Teams are required to be affiliated with an organization such as a school, library, museum, after-school program or club. Registration and regional hub information can also be found online here. The Montana Learning Center will give preference to teams from Montana although teams from other states will be accepted if Montana teams do not fill all of the openings.
Sponsors for the competition to be held at the Montana Learning Center are the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Northwest Earth and Space Sciences Pipeline, Montana Space Grant Consortium, Montana Office of Public Instruction, Montana State University, Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation, Gianforte Family Foundation, Seattle Design & Print, Force1 RC, Microsoft, Delta Air Lines and the Montana Learning Center.

Montana Aerospace Scholars Program
The Montana Aerospace Scholars Program is a unique opportunity for sophomore and junior students and STEM teachers in Montana to explore educational and career pathways in the world of STEM while interacting with like-minded peers from across Montana. It is open to Montana residents and will take place this summer.
The two-part program for high school sophomores and juniors is focused on the history and future exploration of space as well as earth and space science. Phase one, for sophomore high school students, is an online distance learning course designed in partnership with NASA and the University of Washington.
The sophomore level course serves as an introduction to the junior level course. Scholars who successfully complete the online coursework are invited to participate in phase two, a three-day summer experience at MLC. They are granted automatic admission into the junior program in the fall. In Phase two, scholars work with STEM professionals, NASA scientists, university students, and STEM educators to plan a realistic space mission.
The junior level program runs from November 2019 through April 2020. Scholars participate in an online course consisting of ten bi-weekly lessons and a final project. If scholars successfully complete the online course, they can apply to receive five University of Washington natural science (ESS 102) credits and are invited to participate in a six-day summer residency experience at the Montana Learning Center in 2020.
The MLC also hosts the Montana Aerospace Scholars program for the Museum of Flight in Seattle, WA. Each year high school sophomores and juniors come to the MLC for an aeronautics experience where they plan and carry out a mission to Mars.
The Western Aerospace Scholars program is generously sponsored by NASA, Northwest Earth and Space Sciences Pipeline, The Boeing Company, Wells Fargo and individual donors.

Hola, mis amigos! Today Leroy and I are in the Free and Sovereign State of Yucatán on a clear 25 degree day, our calculations now becoming so good that we arrived this morning on a white sandy beach near Tulum with our toes virtually submerged in the waters of the Caribbean. It may have been a good idea to take our shoes off first, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Standing on the beach and looking out over the sea, it was tantalising to know that the western tip of my beloved Cuba was somewhere to our left, the Cayman Islands (and all its offshore tax havens) directly ahead, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras to the south and the ruins of one of the last Mayan cities perched on top of the bluff behind us. A walled city, Tulúm/Zama served as a port between the 13th and 15th centuries, and somehow survived 70 years of Spanish occupation before European diseases wiped everyone out.
We're here to explore the Yucatán Peninsula, a region of huge significance for the Mayans and now dotted with other ruins and pyramids, including the world-famous Chichén Itzá – one of the largest and most diverse Mayan centres of its time. The site attracts 1.4 million visitors a year and for that reason Leroy and I are giving it a wide berth this time around. Fortunately we've managed to avoid peak-'Spring Break', when vast swarms of US college students land on the peninsula, but there are still plenty of other tourists around.
From Tulum we made our way to Cuzamá. And when I say 'made our way', I mean 'rapidly appeared in'. There is too much to do today to spend three hours on the drive inland. Cuzamá's main attractions are the three cenotes nearby; amazing natural sinkholes formed when the limestone bedrock above erodes and exposes the groundwater below. The Yucatán is home to an estimated 6000 – although only 2400 are currently registered. The Mayans believed that the cenotes are inhabited by their rain god Chaak. Other stories explain them as gateways to the underworld.
After a quick lunch of chicken and rice, poc chuc (a porcine barbeque specialty of the Yucatán) and bottles of brightly hued Mexican soft drinks from the one and only tienda in the village, we're ready to head to the Chacsinicché and Bolonchoojol cenotes. This time we've opted for the local transport – effectively a flat wooden cart pulled along 'railway' tracks by a horse. Leroy is planning to dive at Chelentun, which is supposed to be the best for exploration thanks to its clear waters, but I'll be happy to swim and practice my Spanish on the captive audience waiting patiently above for their passengers to re-emerge from the subterranean depths.
Later we're off to the lively, friendly city of Mérida for a fancy Mexican dinner at Apoala. The kind of dinner that necessitates a shower and change of clothes beforehand. And then maybe a paseo (amble, walk, promenade) down the Paseo de Montejo with the locals. It's an after-dinner thing. Hasta luego!

原帖由: jame Keesling ,
The tank worked well for a while with a few small complaints that led to larger nuisances. Whenever refilling the tank the plastic piece breaks on comes off making the device almost unusable, molten hot vape juice shot straight in your face. I found a way to overcome this by being more delicate with refilling the vape juice, not too much of an issue as soon as you know to be aware of it it. HOWEVER, the charging port that comes with the device pulls out the metal piece that assume is meant to keep the charging point in place to where it may work properly.. this leaves the user with the problem that recharging this difficult if not impossible. I respect the product but this seems to be a fatal flaw in the design. I hope that there is improvements in the future.... if not I am likely to switch to Juuhl.

It seems like the US PlayStation Store doesn't update until later in the day. While Nintendo gives you fresh Virtual Console content by the time you wake up, Sony makes sure you have something to look forward to when you get off of work. So what did we get this Thursday?
New demos:
Stranglehold NBA Live 08
A whole mess of MotorStorm add-ons and one Ninja Gaiden content pack:
MotorStorm Revenge Weekend Add-on Pack (New track, vehicles, races and race mode) — $5.99
MotorStorm Add-on Vehicle 1 (Wakazashi Razor bike) — $0.99
MotorStorm Add-on Vehicle 2 (Wombat Mudslide ATV) — $0.99
MotorStorm Add-on Vehicle 3 (Atlas Varjack mudplugger) — $0.99
MotorStorm Add-on Vehicle 4 (Atlas Arizona big rig) — $0.99
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Weapons Master Add-on (5 survival modes) — $2.99
A bevy of trailers:
Turok "Quiet Kills" Trailer
PixelJunk Racers Trailer
Heavenly Sword "Making Of" No. 5
Heavenly Sword Anime No. 5
Lair "World in Chaos" Video
MotorStorm "Coyote Revenge" Video
Drillbit Tailer Trailer
Resident Evil: Extinction Trailer
Heavenly Sword Anime No. 5 Wallpaper
Past Thursday updates have been somewhat anemic, but it looks like Sony is starting to get some momentum; this is the second consecutive week with a beefy set of demos and trailers. If you haven't given Stranglehold a try yet, do so. It's a great demo. Also take a look at PixelJunk Racers; I was able to play this at E3 and enjoyed it. It may look simple, but it's a good time.

A breach of this policy will be considered by senior management
All reports of cyberbullying and other technology misuses will be investigated fully and may result in notification to the police where Mossley AFC is obliged to do so. Sanctions may include, but are not limited to, suspension, or banning from Mossley AFC. Everyone must be aware that in certain circumstances where a crime has been committed, they may be subject to a criminal investigation by the police over which Mossley AFC will have no control.
We adhere to the following equality, inclusion and discrimination guidelines set out by Kick It Out.
We are committed to ensuring a safe environment for all participants by applying equality, diversity and inclusion in our day to day operations.
We will promote awareness of the benefits of equality, inclusion and diversity with a clear understanding that football belongs to and should be enjoyed by anyone who wants to participate in it.
In activities we will not discriminate or treat anyone less favourably on the grounds of age, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marital status, race nationality, ethnic origin, colour, religion/belief, ability or disability. We will not tolerate harassment, bullying, abuse or victimisation of any kind and will assure the correct reporting procedures are actioned if any of the mentioned does occur under our supervision. We are committed to taking action where inequalities exist.

As part of our commitment to the eradication of discrimination in football and the promotion of equality, inclusion and diversity, a minimum of one member of our board and/or coaching staff will be fully educated on the procedures around reporting incidents of discrimination – including through the appointed officials, our County FA, the Kick It Out website and app.
Mossley AFC are committed to inclusion and will continue to work to improve Disability access and inclusion at our club. We outline our objectives here:
Examples of Access and Inclusion – Best Practice
1. Information for disabled fans is available on the club website.
2. Companion (carer) tickets are provided free of charge as a 'reasonable adjustment'.
3. Every fan has the opportunity to sit alongside fellow fans.
4. Wheelchair users have an unobstructed view of the pitch with a companion seat/space alongside.
5. Blind and partially sighted fans can sit anywhere, information is available in alternative formats.
6. There is provision for Assistance Dogs.
7. Deaf and hard of hearing fans can sit anywhere, information is available in written and alternative formats.
8. Easy access seats are identified and can be reserved for ambulant disabled fans.
9. Accessible toilets are available and clearly identified.
10. Accessible parking and drop off are available, can be pre-booked and are advertised.
11. Regular dialogue with disabled fans.
13. Links with disability organisations in the community.
14. To have club wide strategy towards access and inclusion with an annual review.
15. To champion the positive impact of being inclusive.
We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game.
In The FA's survey of 37,000 grassroots participants, behaviour was the biggest concern in the game.
This included the abuse of match officials and the unacceptable behaviour of over competitive parents, spectators and coaches on the sideline.
Mossley AFC are determined to fulfil the FAs Respect policy and play its part; if you are a Manager, Coach or any member of the clubs official staff we insist that you fulfil your primary obligations and do your part to observe The Football Association's Respect Code of Conduct in everything you do.
Therefore please observe our rules and by carrying out your role make the unequivocal commitments to the following :
On and off the field, I will:
• Show respect to others involved in the game including match officials, opposition players, coaches, managers, officials and spectators
• Adhere to the laws and spirit of the game
• Promote Fair Play and high standards of behaviour
• Always respect the match official's decision
• Never enter the field of play without the referee's permission
• Never engage in public criticism of the match officials
• Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour.
When working with players, I will:
• Place the well-being, safety and enjoyment of each player above everything, including winning
• Explain exactly what I expect of players and what they can expect from me
• Ensure all parents/carers of all players under the age of 18 understand these expectations
• Never engage in or tolerate any form of bullying
• Develop mutual trust and respect with every player to build their self-esteem
• Encourage each player to accept responsibility for their own behaviour and performance
• Ensure all activities I organise are appropriate for the players' ability level, age and maturity
• Co-operate fully with others in football (e.g. Officials, doctors, physiotherapists, welfare officers) for each player's best interests.
I understand that if I do not follow the Code, any/all of the following actions may be taken by my club, County FA, league or The FA:
• Required to meet with the club, league or County Welfare Officer
• Required to meet with the club committee and/or the Board of Directors
• Be monitored by another club coach
• Required to attend an FA education course
• Suspended by the club from attending matches
• Suspended or fined by the County FA
• Required to leave or be sacked by the club
Mossley AFC is committed to ensure everyone who is involved in football has a great experience – regardless of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, ability or disability, faith or age.
We will all work together on our inclusion priorities over the coming years. These are underpinned by three principles of change and improvement :
· ensuring governance and leadership is diverse and modern;
· removing any obstacles to access and progression in coaching, talent development or personal development pathways; and
· enshrining equality, diversity and inclusion in our day to day operations.
We will also examine pathways and promote inclusion and access for coaches, welfare officers, club officials, league officials, players, coaches and tutors; and we will challenge ourselves with measurable targets that deliver on diversity and inclusion outcomes.
We will also work with a variety of stakeholders on topics such as mental health and LGB&T to ensure that people feel safe and included in football.
Our disability football program is just one of our initiatives for the 2019-2020 season, and in line with the Manchester FA women's strategy 'Gameplan for Growth' we aims to ensure female participation with a full team by 2020; and we continue to work to encourage football across different faiths and communities.
English football takes safeguarding extremely seriously. The ongoing work to make the game as safe and enjoyable as possible is led by The FA, the game's governing body in this country. This work is delivered through County FAs such in conjunction with leagues and clubs.
A clear safeguarding strategy has been put in place by English football to protect people involved in the national game. It is complete with policies, procedures and regulations. Every club in the country must adhere to the policies which apply to them. If not, they face sanctions, including suspension from playing. Mossley AFC is fully committed to ensure and constantly improving its safeguarding procedures.
Policies include the mandatory appointment of a Club Welfare Officer(s) for every league or club with youth teams. There is also a requirement for specified club committee officers to complete the free online 'Safeguarding for Committee Members' course. While mandatory for specified officers, the course is open to anyone to raise their awareness of potential situations and how to deal with them.
Welfare Officers must have an FA-accepted Criminal Record Check, which has to be renewed every three years. They must also undertake regular FA-approved safeguarding training. With the club committee's support, Welfare Officers ensure the appropriate checks and training are completed for anyone at the club working with children and young people under the age of 18.
In the meantime, should you have any questions about safeguarding please don't hesitate to get in touch with the Designated Safeguarding Officer on the Board.
Health & Safety Statement
The Club wants to foster a culture where all health and safety matters can be raised and discussed openly, since it cannot fix things it does not know about. Concerns and safety improvement suggestions can be raised with any Club official, and may be specifically directed to the Club's Safety Officer, Secretary or Chairman. The Club's health and safety arrangements are regularly discussed at Board meetings, to which the Safety Officer periodically attends to update the Board on health and safety matters.
General Statement of Intent
Mossley AFC accepts its responsibility to comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, The Fire Safety and Safety of Places of Sport Act 1987 and other subordinate Legislation, Regulations and Codes of Practice.
It recognises the importance of providing a safe and secure match day environment for all people attending games, and any other persons affected by the Club's match day operations.
In exercising its responsibility and commitment the Board of Directors of Mossley AFC will ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the effective implementation of this health and safety policy.
The Board of Directors will provide leadership in matters of health and safety. They will keep the organisation and arrangements for health and safety under review and initiate revision, as and when necessary, in consultation with the Safety Officer.
The Chairman has overall responsibility for health and safety within the Club and is accountable to the Board of Directors for fulfilment of this Health and Safety Policy.
The Board of Directors, led by the Chairman, have appointed a Safety Officer (who is accountable to the Chairman) who is supported by Club staff, officials and volunteers. The Safety Officer advises on all safety related matters and has ultimate authority for decisions on any match day safety critical issues should they arise, from one hour before kick-off until one hour after the match has ended.
To safeguard match day safety and manage risks before, during and immediately after games, Mossley AFC may consult with opposing clubs and other organisations, not limited to but including: the local Police Service, Fire Service, Ambulance Service, Local Authority (Council), the Football Association FA)

At least one hard copy of this Match day Operations Manual (and associated documents) will be held at the Ground as a living document. This also means it is readily available for inspection purposes. Those documents produced in soft copy (e.g. risk assessments, ground inspections, etc.) are all held in a shared document repository that is accessible for authorised Club officials, including Board Members.
All Stewards are ambassadors of the Club and this should be reflected in their approach to spectators and the way they react to them. Stewards are responsible for ensuring the safety, security and wellbeing of spectators attending matches at the Ground and report directly to the Safety Officer.
General duties are to:
• Control or direct spectators when entering, while inside and when leaving the Ground.

Blockchain technology has immense potential to be applied across numerous industries, but is complex and abstruse.
From a new model for fundraisers, to reforming supply chain management and transforming the identity and health industries, our products help people all over the world advance technology through the power of blockchain.
Our mission is to provide simple and innate user interfaces to help make blockchain development easier and more accessible.
We are a band of college friends who caught wind of the potential of blockchain technology way back in 2009. Since then, we have been following the industry closely, while gaining experience as programmers, marketers and UX designers in some of the largest IT companies in Europe. Seeing the rise of Ethereum and armed with an exceptional idea, we set out to construct a bridge between blockchain and accessibility.
Now, 2 years later, we have calmly gone through the crypto bear market of 2018 and are running one of the most prominent blockchain infrastructure projects, tackling core industry problems.
What we stand by
The values a company stands by are always expressed in the products they make. These four, at the utmost fundamental level, represent who we are, what we do, and how we do it. They are reflected in the products we create, are expected of anyone we hire, and will remain an essential part of all our operations as we continue to grow.
User interface is at the core of our business and simultaneously at the core of what's holding back blockchain development. Building intuitive and functional user interface is a modern form of art, intricately combining user experience, customer feedback, and a never-ending pursuit of excellence.
Our products meet a growing demand for user-friendly blockchain interfaces, induced by the steady growth of an industry with potential unseen since the advent of the Internet.
How we perform
As a startup, our company culture evokes full commitment to business growth. We don't really distinguish weekdays from weekends as of yet. Many people have placed trust in our project as evident from the Fabric Token crowdsale and we feel obliged not to let anyone down.
As we are building something we are immensely passionate about and firmly believe in, work doesn't really feel like work. It feels more like a group of people working on something they deem cool.

This was a question posted on Quora we answered (myself and Karan from Hubsell) today. Enjoy!
Let's define the premise of the question:
- Firstly, there is only one GDPR (it is new entirely).
- Secondly, B2C 'email prospecting' under GDPR is strictly prohibited, so we're only going to discuss the rules around B2B prospecting under GDPR.
Here is the video if you prefer:
Now, how do you prospect for B2B leads in the EU post-GDPR without breaking the new law and being fined?
Gathering data:
- Ensure you are being both purposeful and accurate
- Purposeful = In the legitimate interest of your company.
- Accurate = If you know what you need to get, only get that.
- Ad hoc vs pulling from a pre-built database
- Ad hoc = Creating a list of criteria (as specific as possible) so you know everyone in the audience is going to relate to the message. Further, this allows you to be very customized in your copy.
- Pre-built = This violates our first point of making sure your data is gathered with purpose. Buying a list is inherently not specific to your purpose.
- Read this article for a review of the top 5 email platforms who provide data and the ability to act on that data.
- Ensure you are being both purposeful and accurate
Now, how you act on that data (outreach) is the most crucial:
- Follow opt-out vs opt-in regulation (at the local level, differs per EU state)
- Opt-out is where you are allowed email but have to stop if the prospect asks you to. UK is an example of an opt-out EU state.
- Opt-in is where you have to have permission to mail them before you mail them the first time. Here, you have to start via a channel other than email = Linkedin message/Inmail/follow, Quora follow/comment. Germany is an opt-in state (note: German opt-in is based on Unfair Competition and not on Data protection).
- Follow opt-out vs opt-in regulation (at the local level, differs per EU state)
Finally, I'd like to conclude on how to see GDPR as an opportunity.
Most bad practices will die-out and the ones who are doing it right will continue.
- Those who were buying and sending to large datasets every month (breaking GDPR) will no longer be in your potential customers' inbox each day. This gives your product/service more attention (assuming you are going to be compliant).
Be relevant, add value and initiate dialogue (do not send non-customized messaging).
- Human-like (one : one) message – your message needs to go beyond simply calling them by their name and mentioning their company. Whether you use dynamic text in your email, or write them manually, the more customization, the better.
- Value – aside from customizing your message to the person, make sure you are honest with yourself in the respect of that person really being a good fit for your product/service (which, again, is why ad hoc database building is crucial).

Limo torched in DC protests belongs to Muslim immigrant, may cost $70,000 in damages
By 1/23/17 6:22 PM
The limousine that was set on fire during the anti-Trump anarchist protest in downtown Washington on Inauguration Day is owned by a Muslim immigrant who says the damage could cost his company $70,000.
Muhammad Ashraf, the owner of Nationwide Chauffeur Services, spoke with the Washington Examiner's sister publication, Red Alert Politics, about what happened:
In an exclusive interview with Red Alert Politics, Ashraf said he wasn't a supporter of Donald Trump during his campaign, but Friday's protests were completely counter-productive.
"I have a different point of view," Ashraf told Red Alert. "I did not agree with many of the things he said, but that still does not give me the right to go and affect someone's livelihood."
Ashraf noted that the Women's March on Washington and in other cities around the country was a model for how to peacefully protest.
"I really don't think we need to take this [violent] route."
Ashraf's employee, Luis Villarroel, 58, was dropping a client off at their destination when things turned ugly. Protesters smashed doors and windows in the vicinity, but then turned their attention to Villarroel and the limo. People began pounding on the car and started throwing stones and bricks in his direction. The driver ended up going to the hospital for cuts on his hands and arms from glass being shattered by thrown projectiles. […]
"[We've] been in business for over 25 years and this is the first time this has happened," Ashraf said.
Ashraf explained that with the loss of the vehicle, his company is now in the hole for $70,000 (if insurance doesn't cover riots) plus commission and the medical bills for his driver.

Comment from Stewart Rhodes:
The owner of the limo they torched is a Muslim immigrant. So, the so-called "Anti-Fascists," who claim to be standing up for Muslim immigrants, among others, trashed and burned a limo belonging to a Muslim immigrant, and injured his driver – exactly what a fascist would do. A bit ironic.
From now on, I will call them "LEFTY- Fascists" or "Lefty-Fa" because that is exactly what they are.

Oral histories, interviews and contemporary life along the Qhapaq Ñan, the inca road system
Thanks to sound and testimony recordings, we intend to present a diversified and non homogeneous representation of the inca roads system, differing from the predominant state supported patrimonial approach, which tends to isolate the roads from their social and cultural context. The idea is to put the spotlight not on the Qhapaq Ñan per se, but rather on oral histories, social and cultural lives of the people living there and on their relationships to their environment.
These thirty hours of interviews and sounds recording (priests, miners, students, musicians, children, painters or farmers, as well as religious ceremonies, community radio programs, speeches at village markets or pilgrimage sites) were recorded by Sébastien Jallade. Part of this work was used for the documentary film, "Qhapaq Ñan, la voix des Andes".

Feng Shui for Relationships
Did you know that Vincent Van Gogh began his professional career as a pastor? His enthusiasm for life, and his desire to help the poor people around him caused him to constantly give away his possessions.
His brother Theo noticed that Vincent had a gift for painting, and encouraged him to make that his vocation, offering to pay him out of his own wages to help support the endeavor. So Vincent began to paint the lives he saw around him: people huddled around a table by firelight, eating the potatoes they had gotten that day from the fields. He painted purple Irises, and the way the stars looked at night. Yet Vincent's paintings were met with scorn. The villagers and critics mocked him, using his paintings for target practice or to hang on their hen house doors to keep the wolves away. Theo continued to encourage Vincent anyway, telling him not to give up his God given talent. Vincent painted furiously for 5 or 6 years, turning out more than 2000 paintings. During that time he sold only two paintings, just enough for food and supplies.
Vincent, affected by seizures and despair, committed himself to a local asylum, seeking peace from the crushing depression that haunted him. At that time, there were no medications, and Vincent ended up killing himself one "starry, starry night". Penniless, and insane, Vincent died at the age of 37.
Today, Vincent Van Gogh's work is among the highest priced and most sought after in the world. The purple Irises that he painted one afternoon alone in his room sold at an auction for $42,000,000 (forty two million dollars).
The moral of this story is: usually talented people who are diagnosed as mentally ill are so brilliant that they can not accept living in a mediocre world, therefore, they must live in their "imagination of a perfect world" because their ideal world is not available.
Thursday, November 13, 2003 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, you are all invited to a free luncheon sponsored by SDCPHA sharing a topic of discussion, "Living in Harmony with mental illness by practicing Feng Shui". Please do come and learn from a new perspective: Feng Shui for Relationships.
An art exhibit will also being displayed & available for purchase.

Latest News
Deal experts at business advisers and chartered accountantsUNW, BKR International's member firm based in Newcastle, UK, have assisted a Northumberland pharmaceutical wholesaler to secure a six-figure funding boost to grow its business and create 25 jobs.
UNW's corporate finance team advised the highly experienced shareholders of Cramlington-based PMC Pharmaceuticals Limited in securing the finance round from the North East Growth Plus Fund managed by FW Capital.
PMC Pharmaceuticals, which is run by two equal shareholders, will use the cash injection as working and growth capital to allow it to begin wholesaling drugs from its warehousing facilities on South Nelson Industrial Estate.
Paul McCourt and Paul Healey, who between them have over 30 years' experience in the pharmaceutical sector, approached UNW to help it secure the crucial investment following the successful receipt of the necessary licences and permits.
UNW senior corporate finance manager Mark Simpson, who worked on the deal with executive Leon Cassidy, said: "This massively experienced management team has used UNW in the past for various financing, acquisitions and tax advice in relation to previous companies and they approached us to help them with this recently established business.
"We produced a financial model and approached various potential funders that we highlighted as relevant from our extensive network. Once we had received offers of funding we selected FW Capital as their team demonstrated a good knowledge of the sector, which meant they understood this business really well and they structured investment to facilitate our growths plans.
"We are delighted to have been able to successfully advise the directors once again and look forward to watching the business grow into a successful wholesaling operation."
PMC Pharmaceuticals Sales Director Paul McCourt said: "Securing this level of funding has enabled us to commence trading with state-of-the-art software and distribution systems.
"We expect to create 25 jobs in the next couple of years and deliver a level of service to our customers that will make us their automatic first choice regional supplier."
FW Capital senior investment executive Michael Vassallo said: "The pharmaceutical sector is growing strongly year-on-year and PMC Pharmaceuticals has set up its wholesale business to capitalise on this.
"The company's experienced management team has a proven track record in the sector and FW Capital's investment has provided them with the working capital to set up the operation and fund their stock costs. We were pleased to work with PMC Pharmaceuticals and their advisers, UNW to complete this deal within tight time scales."

A Reflection by Fred Schaeffer, OFS
Original title: "Holy Spirit reveals deep things of God"
and: "We Bring Forth Christ in Faith" (below)
"Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has it so much as dawned on man what God has prepared for those who love him. Yet God has revealed this wisdom to us through the Spirit. The Spirit scrutinizes all matters, even the deep things of God." (1 Cor. 2:9b-10)
What God has in store for those who believe in Him, comes to us by listening to the Holy Spirit. Without the assistance of the Holy Spirit we could not learn some of God's Gift to us, the gift he gives us when we are baptized and when we partake in the Sacraments.
"The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name--he will teach you everything and remind you of all that (I) told you." (Jn. 14:26, USCCB NAB)
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
742 "Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!"' (Gal 4:6).
We call the Father "Abba" or "Daddy" as a child would call his father, this is a very special relationship, it is a famillial relationship (nothing formal about it). This is a gift of God to us.
743 From the beginning to the end of time, whenever God sends his Son, he always sends his Spirit: their mission is conjoined and inseparable.
So God gives us his Spirit so that we can understand what his visiting to us is all about.
744 In the fullness of time the Holy Spirit completes in Mary all the preparations for Christ's coming among the People of God. By the action of the Holy Spirit in her, the Father gives the world Emmanuel "God-with-us" (Mt 1:23).
Mary is an integral part of God's family, and thus our Mother. Let us always include her in our prayers and conversations with God by the Holy Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit to understand these relationships in the spiritual sense.
745 The Son of God was consecrated as Christ (Messiah) by the anointing of the Holy Spirit at his Incarnation (cf. Ps 2:6-7).
This again indicates that without the Holy Spirit, we could not understand what happened at his incarnation.
746 By his Death and his Resurrection, Jesus is constituted in glory as Lord and Christ (cf. Acts 2:36). From his fullness, he poured out the Holy Spirit on the apostles and the Church.
At Pentecost, Our Lord made us understand what his Death and Resurrection truly accomplished, namely the salvation of people. If we continue to love God by not committing sin (through the help of the Holy Spirit) we will be with Him in Paradise.
747 The Holy Spirit, whom Christ the head pours out on his members, builds, animates, and sanctifies the Church. She is the sacrament of the Holy Trinity's communion with men.
Now that we have given to understand the role of the Holy Spirit, we can understand that one of our duties is to Evangelize, that is, to tell all people about God's love for us. I use the internet to accomplish that, others use the podium or a street corner, still others talk to people individually or have some Apostolate connected with their parish - no matter which way, without the assistance of the Holy Spirit, none of this would accomplish the right result.
So always be open to the groanings of the Holy Spirit, to those still words of wisdom, He makes known to us from time to time. Listen to Him, for the guidance of God, the love of the Holy Spirit, calls us constantly forth to love Him more and more.
Peace and all Good!

We Bring Forth Christ in Faith
The Second Reading of the Office of Readings, which I read/pray once in a while, had a beautiful Reflection or Homily this morning, by St. Ambrose. The last paragraph impressed me in particular: "Let Mary's soul be in each of you to proclaim the greatness of the Lord. Let her spirit be in each to rejoice in the Lord. Christ has only one mother in the flesh, but we all bring forth Christ in faith. Every soul receives the Word of God if only it keeps chaste, remaining pure and free from sin, its modesty undefiled. The soul that succeeds in this proclaims the greatness of the Lord, just as Mary's soul magnified the Lord and her spirit rejoiced in God her Savior. In another place we read: Magnify the Lord with me. The Lord is magnified, not because the human voice can add anything to God but because he is magnified within us. Christ is the image of God, and if the soul does what is right and holy, it magnifies that image of God, in whose likeness it was created and, in magnifying the image of God, the soul has a share in its greatness and is exalted."
St. Ambrose who lived from 374 to 397; born probably 340, was born in France. He was one of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and his homilies and writings are well known and respected. He was Bishop of Milan. He is one of the original four doctors of the Church, with St. Augustine, St. Jerome and St. Gregory the Great.
The subject of this morning's Second Reading is of course, Mary, the Blessed Mother, as she visits her sister, Elizabeth, who is also with child (John the Baptist). That, in itself, is remarkable because Elizabeth wasn't any longer of child-bearing age. Central to the Mariology of St. Ambrose is the Virginity of Mary and her role as the Mother of God.
The quoted paragraph in italics, above, is remarkable also. St. Ambrose tells us that we need Mary's assistance in order to proclaim the Word and tell of the greatness of God. He says that the Lord is magnified, despite our efforts to shout out his Name, by those who live a holy and chaste life, "Christ is the image of God, and if the soul does what is right and holy, it magnifies that image of God, in whose likeness it was created and, in magnifying the image of God, the soul has a share in its greatness and is exalted." God bless St. Ambrose for making that so clear!
How does this translate to us, to modern times? We (Christians, in particular) need to be strong. We need to love God at all times, when you love God, you do not sin. (But when you still sin, you do not love God enough!). There is really no compromise possible between leading a chaste life or not. We cannot chose part of God's command and wish for us to be chaste, and lead a loose life at the same time. People whose morals are questionable and whose habits are undisciplined just aren't living a chaste life. The easiest way to live a chaste life is to say NO to sin. Don't tell me you are too weak to do that (yes, I know all people have a weakness for what they shouldn't do. I do too.) - it is only when living a chaste life, without detours or exceptions, that you will have an unclouded view of God's love and goodness. If I hear one more time what some people say (usually rather flippantly) "That's why we have the confessional," I think I will have a fit! Even that is used as an excuse! So read up on the writings of St. Ambrose and the other Fathers of the early Church, they have a lot of valuable stuff to say! What they said isn't so different from what the current Holy Father, his Bishops and Priests/Deacons are saying these days - nothing has changed, for God remains the same! Let us pray to His Mother, who is also our Mother, for strength and understanding to learn more about her Holy Son, whose birth we will soon remember on Christmas Day.
Peace and Good!

Since America's founding, four stages of population movement have marked our society. For more than 100 years, we were a rural country. The Industrial Revolution transformed us into a country of city dwellers, while the rise of the car in the '50s saw the switch to suburban life as people moved beyond the city limits but streamed back each day to work.
Over the last 20 years, a fourth stage of American development has emerged in parallel with the rise of edge cities around the cores of older metropolitan centers. The marked distinction between edge-city and suburban life is that, unlike the typical suburban dweller who's still linked to the city core for their daily bread, edge-city inhabitants rarely visit this core. Their jobs are close by, either within their edge city or one over.
Joel Garreau examines this demographic trend in his excellent work, Edge City, covering territories in New Jersey, Boston, Detroit, Atlanta, Phoenix, Texas, Southern California, the San Francisco Bay area, and Washington, DC. In this 1991 work, Garreau presages the incredible developments in PCs and telecommunications technologies since the start of the '90s and basically lays out a blueprint for how and why today's technocenters sprang out of the ashes of the collapse of the go-go '80s. Edge City is far from a dry tome of charts and figures; it reveals motivations behind the trend, the real estate economics at play, and the important implications of this new frontier on American society.
Two chapters at the end, "The Glossary" and "The Laws," should be read first and are worth the book's price alone. "The Glossary" is a concise compilation of real estate terms, such as FAR (floor-to-area ratio) and CC&Rs (covenants, conditions, and restrictions), while "The Laws" reveals developer rules of thumb, each utterly engaging. Here's a sample: The average distance from the main office of a company in edge city to the CEO's home: 8 miles. Cervero's Law of the value of time wasted in traffic jams: People view the time they spend in a traffic jam as equal, in dollar value, to half of their hourly wage. The maximum desirable commute, throughout human history, regardless of transportation technology: 45 minutes. The three laws of building: 1. Build. 2. Build at the lowest possible cost. 3. If Rule One and Two come into conflict, Rule One takes precedence.
Edge City is a glimpse of the America to come, whether we're ready or not.

Zion Market Research, the market research group announced the analysis report titled 'Water Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecasts 2016–2024'
Water Market: Overview
Water is an essential element and is utilized in all sectors. The global water market provides water for residential purposes, commercial purposes, industrial purposes, and much more. The industrial sector itself comprises many industries in it such as power generation, pulp and paper, refining and petrochemicals, food and beverages, microelectronics, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and mining. Every sector requires water which is fresh, but a requirement is more than availability. According to the data from UN Water, in developing countries, 70% of industrial waste is dumped untreated into waters where they pollute the usable water supply; every day, 2 million tons of human waste are disposed of in water courses. Thus, recycling wastewater becomes important. The scarcity of freshwater is compelling the municipal and industrial sectors to invest in the reusability of wastewater. The commonly used methods for treating wastewater are the separation of oil and water, removal of suspended solids and dissolved solids, biological treatment, and oxidation and disinfection. Increasing investments on these methodologies have greatly impacted the market growth in a positive way.

Water Market: Segmentation
The global water market can be segmented based on its end-use and regions. On the basis of end-use, the global market is categorized into residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial sectors. Further, the residential segment is sub-segmented into indoor and outdoor purposes. Based on the regions, the global water market is classified into Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.
Water Market: Growth Factors
The main reason for the global water market to grow is urbanization and industrialization. Developing countries are main regions where the market is growing owing to the above-mentioned reasons. The rapid increase in population and growth in the economy are factors boosting the water market growth. The requirement of fresh water has increased the necessity for using the available water carefully. Not only developing countries are contributing to the market growth but developed nations have also added their share. Smart water solutions have gained importance in the recent years owing to water scarcity, leak detection, and network efficiency. In the countries where agriculture is still the main occupation, the demand for the water market is high in these regions. The commercial sectors such as the hospital, hotels, and others are the end-users driving the global water market growth.
Request Report TOC (Table of Contents) @ https://www.zionmarketresearch.com/toc/water-market
Water Market: Regional Analysis
Asia Pacific dominates the global water market mainly owing to the growth in the manufacturing and construction industries, which in turn has increased the demand for water. Growing population in this region also plays a vital role in the water market growth. Furthermore, countries such as India, China, and Japan are supporting the water market growth as the government has made large investments in wastewater treatment processes in order to encourage urbanization. Bottled water and increasing use of water in different sectors are other factors driving the European water market growth. The quality of water is poor in regions such as the Middle East and North Africa; hence the scope for the growth of the water market is positive in these regions.
Water Market: Competitive Players
Some of the major players operating in the global water market are ITT Corporation, Xylem Inc., United Utilities Group PLC, American Water, Nalco Water, The Danaher Corporation, Suez Environnement S.A., and Siemens Water Technologies Corp.

There's this saying I heard once:
"He who frames the issue wins the argument."
This appears to be correct.
When its advocates framed same-sex marriage as a civil rights issue, it was – not immediately but relatively speedily – "Game Over." As a result of its civil rights framing, even "Red State" judges could not deny a right to a minority that was guaranteed to the majority. The result:
RED STATE JUDGES: "Please do not recall us for this decision, because, constitutionally, there is nothing else we can do. Although you should know, some of us are not real happy about this."
If, on the other hand, same-sex marriage were framed, as was slavery, as a demand for the overturning of a traditionally accepted institution, the sledding towards its acceptance would have been considerably more problematic. That's why the advocates did it the other way. They wanted to win.
Here's what they were up against.
My Random House Webster's Dictionary defines marriage (mar'ij) as "the social institution under which a man and a woman live as husband and wife by legal and religious commitments."
Under that never previously controversial definition, same-sex marriage would be categorized as, what my philosophy teacher used to call, a "squared circle."
"What's that?"
"It's a circle with corners."
"But there's no such thing."
"You're gettin' the idea."
With the increasing acceptance of same-sex marriage, dictionaries around the world will be obliged – if they have not already done so – to revise that definition of the word "marriage." (The way, in 1491, they had to throw out all the flat globes. And as they later had to revise the round globes when empires' colonies attained independence, starting, imaginably, with The United States of England. Probably not. But I like the ring of it.)
My reaction to changing the definition of "marriage"… well, it's not important what my reaction is, but for the record, it's "Sure." Why, because I am amazingly enlightened? No, because – although moderately enlightened – I have no answer – because no adversarial answer exists – to the – those guys were so smart – civil rights framing of their argument.
A definition is altered, and, since most people have dictionarial functions on their computers, the adjustment is minimal, requiring no enormous "book recall", or the necessity of mailing owners of dictionaries a "Revised Page" to Scotch tape into their dictionaries on top of the old page. (Or maybe just an ameliorating strip.)
The definition of "marriage" gets changed, and now wedding cakes have two same-sex statuettes standing on the top of them. (Unless the cake objects vehemently for religious reasons, leading to a potential Supreme Court confrontation: "Dolce de Leche versus Murray and Phil.")
The thing is…. And here's where I make my what-I-have-come-to-be-known-for "turn" – the one that occasionally gets me into trouble…
Okay, so you change the globes from flat to round, and the formerly accepted definition of "marriage" gets a permanent makeover.
The question is,
Where does it stop?
And by "it" I mean definitional revisionism.
If the traditional definition of "marriage" gets the heave-ho and is replaced by a more contemporarily acceptable definition – the fact that I agree with the new one being not at all the point – what word in the dictionary is now definitionally safe?
A woman with white parents insists adamantly that she's black.
"I don't know…"
Hey, they redefined "marriage", didn't they, the original definition being insufficiently inclusive? Why not then revisit this "overly-narrow" distinction, and expand the designation of "black" to include white people?
And while that definition is being remodeled, let us revamp in the other direction as well.
"I identify myself as black. But that has nothing to do with my black parents."
Why not? It's not like the dictionary was written in stone. Even Bill Clinton took a crack at it.
CLINTON: "It depends on what your definition of the word 'is' is."
You see? Everybody's doing it. Go on. Pick your favorite.
Change the meaning of a word!
I remember a line from a Whit Stillman movie in which a character accused of stealing replies,
"I wasn't stealing. I just borrowed something and didn't give it back."
That sounds exactly like stealing?
Hey, we've got a black white woman on our hands!
But wait… slow down for a second. When you deliberately reconstruct the accepted meanings of words, isn't that lying?
Not necessarily.
It depends on the way you define "lying."

Crown Resorts' latest project in Sydney is on course to meet its completion in the first half of 2021, The Urban Developer reports.
Following 14 months of construction, the hotel and casino development stands almost 120 metres above the harbour, with the first level of residences on level 33 scheduled to be poured in July.
In December, Crown and developer Lendlease won its fight against the New South Wales government to retain Sydney's billion dollar harbour views at the Barangaroo project in a decision handed down by the Supreme Court.
In early November, only a small proportion of hotel rooms and no apartments at Crown's A$2 billion casino tower at Barangaroo in Sydney would have their Opera House and Harbour Bridge views obstructed by a neighbouring development.
Crown and infrastructure giant Lendlease successfully sued the New South Wales government in a bid to protect "sight lines" at the southern end of Barangaroo.
In a report released on November 11, the Barangaroo Delivery Authority showed to the New South Wales Supreme Court that concessions had already been made to ensure that only small sections of Crown's tower would be affected by developments in the area.
Crown and Lendlease argued that clauses in their 2015 development contracts stipulated they should have been progressively consulted on the development plans for Central Barangaroo.
The Barangaroo Development Authority unsuccessfully argued that relevant clauses in the contract were focused on good faith negotiations, which balanced the desire to optimise development at the site and did not guarantee that "sight lines" would be retained.
The views from Lendlease's development will be significantly more affected than Crown's casino hotel and residential complex, which is due to be completed in 2021.

— TheUrbanDeveloper (@TheUrbDev) March 13, 2019
The development will also house a "limited collection" of 88 private residences.
The construction team has reached three building stages: completion of the podium structure that is capped off by two rooftop infinity swimming pools, fitting of the first of the hotel rooms and installation of the glass facade.
Crown Resorts' Todd Nisbet described Crown Sydney as, "one of Australia's most sophisticated buildings" targeting investment from ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
"We are singularly focused on delivering a sustainable luxury development that will stand the test of time," Mr Nisbet said.
Hotel floors at the new complex start at level six and are now up to level 21.
The lift core currently sits at level 29, the current highest point of construction at 120 metres above the water.
Exterior glass panel installation has started, totalling more than 7,000 panels when complete.
Billed as a VIP-only casino and due to completion in 2021, Crown's new high-end,
$2 billion residential and casino complex under construction in Barangaroo will be closely tied to an 'international VIP program'.
The volume of high roller gamblers coming to Australian casinos has dropped since 2016-17 after the Chinese government embarked on an anti-gambling crackdown, jailing 19 Crown staff for illegal marketing activities on the Chinese mainland.
"The Australian VIP market recovery has potentially stalled. Now you have a macro headwind providing a bit of conservatism for material growth," JP Morgan's gaming analyst Donald Carducci said.
"It makes the business case for Barangaroo less attractive."
The market consensus is that Crown's newest venture in Sydney will feature 125 VIP gaming tables.
Analysts believe that if each table at Crown Sydney can generate $2 million, the casino will generate an uplift of $250 million a year.

It wasn't clear early Friday afternoon how many workers took part in the strike, and Walmart said it doesn't know how many employees were involved.
In a photo of the scene emailed to The Huffington Post, one man held up a sign reading, "Queremos Nuestras 40 Horas," or "We Want Our 40 Hours."
and http://www.salon.com/2013/10/18/breaking_wal_mart_workers_on_strike_in_florida/
"Customers going to the Walmart in Hialeah Gardens didn't get the usual greeting as they walked into the store Friday.
Instead, they saw about 100 employees from the store, at 9300 77th Ave., who had walked off the job in the morning to demand a change in management.
At 9 a.m., employees gathered outside the front of the store and started to march, chanting for better hours and fair treatment."
Los clientes que acudían a comprar al Walmart de Hialeah Gardens no recibieron el saludo usual cuando entraron a la tienda el viernes.
En lugar de eso, vieron a unos 100 empleados de la tienda, situada en el 9300 77 Avenue, quienes abandonaron sus puestos de trabajo en la mañana para exigir un cambio de gerencia.

Wake Up Call? It's sad to hear that more and more young British Muslims turning their head towards terrorism and feeling honoured in killing their own innocents countryman. At this point what we need is proper debate about this issue, government should do bit more to help these young Muslims to understand how our policies works. We should bring some really intellectual and scholars who understand a lot more about Holy Quran ( not the one who comes in Sharia TV, they bloody don't agree with each other statements) to tell these people, what Quran says, and help the government to let these people know about UK governments policies and issues.
1,600 suspects under surveillance, 30 plots to kill, maim, damage, 200 terror groups or networks
Hundreds of young British Muslims are being radicalised, groomed and set on a path to mass murder, the head of MI5 said yesterday. In a stark public warning, Dame Eliza ManninghamBuller, the Director-General of MI5, revealed that the Security Service's caseload had risen by 80 per cent since January and now involved about 30 "Priority 1" plots.
It has identified 200 terrorist networks involving at least 1,600 people, many under the direct control of al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan.
"More and more people are moving from passive sympathy towards active terrorism through being radicalised or indoctrinated by friends, families, in organised training events here and overseas," she said. "Young teenagers are being groomed to be suicide bombers."

"To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell
Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime
We would sit down and think which way
To walk and pass our long love's day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges' side
Shouldst rubies find: I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the Flood,
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow;
A hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
For, Lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate. Continue reading "To His Coy Mistress"

|Delhi Dynamos FC have signed
Wim Raymaekers, Belgian Center Back
Indian Super League(ISL) side, Delhi Dynamos FC have signed 29 year old central defender Wim Raymaekers in the squad today. With the induction of the classy, left footed Belgian, Delhi Dynamos has further beefed up its squad for the inaugural edition of the tournament.
Raymaekers carries with him an experience of over 200 games at the top level in Belgium and Holland. Still only 29, Raymaekers has a lot to offer and is a great signing for the Delhi Dynamos.
The defender began his career in the youth ranks of top Belgian club, Genk where he honed his skills. Raymaekers left Genk in 2005 to join Dutch second division side Den Bosch, where he played for two seasons, before moving back to Belgium and signing with second division team Lommel United. He shifted to RS Waasland from the same division in 2009.
OH Leuven signed Raymaekers from Waasland in 2010. A key player in the Leuven side that achieved promotion to the Belgian Pro League in 2010-11, Raymaekers quickly became a fan favourite at the club. Cool, composed, and reliable, Raymaekers is known for his resolute defending, passing skills and prowess in the air.
Commenting on his induction in the Delhi club, Raymaekers said, "I am very excited and motivated to join Delhi Dynamos and I will do my very best to have an amazing experience in India."
On Raymaekers joining the unit, Delhi Dynamos FC Coach Harm van Veldhoven said, "Wim is a cool customer and is pretty adept at handling pressure when defending. While Delhi Dynamos hopes to play attacking football, having a compact defence is equally important and Wim's entry will definitely bolster us in that area."
Delhi Dynamos FC already has two experienced international strikers in Mads Junker and Morten Skoubo. The club is in the process of getting more quality players on board to build a formidable team ahead of the tournament, which kick-starts in October this year. With an experienced coach in Harm, and alliance with Dutch powerhouse Feyenoord Rotterdam, Delhi Dynamos is working towards its mission of building football into a leading sport across Delhi and Northern India.

What Is a Z-Score?
A Z-score is a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean. If a Z-score is 0, it indicates that the data point's score is identical to the mean score. A Z-score of 1.0 would indicate a value that is one standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores may be positive or negative, with a positive value indicating the score is above the mean and a negative score indicating it is below the mean.
Z-scores are measures of an observation's variability and can be put to use by traders in determining market volatility. The Z-score is more commonly known as the Altman Z-score.
The Altman Z-Score Formula
The Altman Z-score is the output of a credit-strength test that helps gauge the likelihood of bankruptcy for a publicly traded manufacturing company. The Z-score is based on five key financial ratios that can be found and calculated from a company's annual 10-K report. The calculation used to determine the Altman Z-score is as follows:
ζ=1.2A+1.4B+3.3C+0.6D+1.0Ewhere:Zeta(ζ)=The Altman Z-scoreA=Working capital/total assetsB=Retained earnings/total assetsC=Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)/totalassetsD=Market value of equity/book value of total liabilities
Typically, a score below 1.8 indicates that a company is likely heading for or is under the weight of bankruptcy. Conversely, companies that score above 3 are less likely to experience bankruptcy.
What Do Z-Scores Tell You?
Z-scores reveal to statisticians and traders whether a score is typical for a specified data set or if it is atypical. In addition to this, Z-scores also make it possible for analysts to adapt scores from various data sets to make scores that can be compared to one another accurately. Usability testing is one example of a real-life application of Z-scores.
Edward Altman, a professor at New York University, developed and introduced the Z-score formula in the late 1960s as a solution to the time-consuming and somewhat confusing process investors had to undergo to determine how close to bankruptcy a company was. In reality, the Z-score formula Altman developed ended up providing investors with an idea of the overall financial health of a company.
The Difference Between Z-Scores and Standard Deviation
Standard deviation is essentially a reflection of the amount of variability within a given data set. To calculate the standard deviation, first, calculate the difference between each data point and the mean. The differences are then squared, summed and averaged to produce the variance. The standard deviation is simply the square root of the variance, which brings it back to the original unit of measure.
The Z-score, by contrast, is the number of standard deviations a given data point lies from the mean. To calculate Z-score, simply subtract the mean from each data point and divide the result by the standard deviation.
For data points that are below the mean, the Z-score is negative. In most large data sets, 99% of values have a Z-score between -3 and 3, meaning they lie within three standard deviations above and below the mean.
Altman Z-Score Plus
Altman developed and released the Altman Z-Score Plus in 2012. This formula is used to evaluate both public and private companies and can be used for non-manufacturing companies as well as manufacturing companies. The Z-Score Plus is suitable for companies in the United States as well as non-US companies, including those in emerging economies, such as China.
- Z-scores are used in statistics to measure an observation's deviation from the group's mean value.
- Z-scores reveal to statisticians and traders whether a score is typical for a specified data set or if it is atypical.
- The Altman Z-Score is frequently used in testing credit strength.
Limitations of Z-Scores
Alas, the Z-score is not perfect and needs to be calculated and interpreted with care. For starters, the Z-score is not immune to false accounting practices. Since companies in trouble may be tempted to misrepresent financials, the Z-score is only as accurate as the data that goes into it.
The Z-score also isn't much use for new companies with little to no earnings. These companies, regardless of their financial health, will score low. Moreover, the Z-score doesn't address the issue of cash flows directly, only hinting at it through the use of the net working capital-to-asset ratio. After all, it takes cash to pay the bills.
Finally, Z-scores can swing from quarter to quarter when a company records one-time write-offs. These can change the final score, suggesting that a company that's really not at risk is on the brink of bankruptcy.

Kingdom of Heaven
It left its mark on countless more. A city that breathes, lives and rejuvenates itself again and again. A city that sailed through ancient history and makes history each day. You call it growth, development and building a whole city into a unique brand. We call it Sialkot, at the dawn of progress. Considered one of the finest business centers since ancient times, Sialkot was built on the promise of future like the greatest cities in ancient Greece and Egypt. Blessed with agricultural plains, the romantic Chenab flowing in the north and a will to change the world, the city's pivot is the creativity of its business minds and the undying craving of excellence by its skilled working class.
The word diverse hardly covers the extent of growth, expansion and skills of Sialkot's talented populace. From manufacturing a unique range of sports equipment to creating marvels in the world of medical production. From developing a system of remarkable benefits for skilled labor to actively leading the fight against child labor, Sialkot has made its mark in the Industrialized world.
With hundreds of dedicated factories across the city manufacturing sports goods, the football manufacturing industry in Sialkot is the frontrunner when it comes to export. With a 60,000 strong workforce, Sialkot has created history as football manufacturing capital of the world for a century. Producing the legendary Tango Ball for FIFA world cup 1978 and the memorable Brazuca in FIFA world cup 2014, the latest in the field is Thermally bonded footballs produced at Sialkot with their superior quality and less labor-intensive requirements. The industry produces globally recognized footballs, test them at state of the art testing facilities and ship them hundreds of miles across oceans and mountains, all over the world.
But what good is a football without your very own sports gear? The sports kits and gear manufactured in Sialkot utilize high-tech machinery imported especially for the purpose.
With a different twist on the production line as motorsports and Formula One apparel, designed and delivered for export markets, Sialkot offers the widest variety of sports apparels and professional kits anywhere in the industry. The standardized fabric, the minimal physical contact with the product and the close to perfection quality control, makes these sport kits another feather in the city's cap.
Sialkot is world wide renowned and specialized in making customized sports bags of various brands extended from cricket, soccer, hockey and other games. The martial arts equipment and apparels are produced in bulk at Sialkot. Inspiring to lead the world in production of martial arts products by 2020, the industry is exporting largely to regional and global brands. Following tradition to build brands is great, but what happens when the demands change and technology takes a shift? Sialkot's industry is one of the most adaptable when it comes to manufacturing. The production units not only meet the high demand for vintage collectors'' edition balls by producing in bulk but has expanded in other fields as well. The Field Hockey sticks manufactured from composite material instead of wood is a specialty of this industrial marvel. The internationally recognized hockey sticks are produced under strict merits of quality, branded and exported to their destination with all the other sports goods. Another interesting product is the polo stick recognized for their durability and finesse. The manufacturing process is long and tiring, but it all pays off with the final product appreciated and demanded all over the world. Serving gigantic brands like Adidas, Nike, Mikasa, Puma, Lotto, mitre, uhl sports, Select, Rucanor, Baden, Reebok, Diadora, Fila, Umbro, CA Sports, AS Sports, MB Sports, Ihsan Sports, medioone instruments, Reda, Techno surgicals and more, Sialkot with its 2 Billion dollars' export industry is paving the way for Brand Sialkot. Recognized globally for their durability and perfection, Sialkot's products have found their way to the shelves of the finest sports centers and in the hands of star athletes of the world. Following the South Asian Passion for cricket, Sialkot's cricket goods manufacturers have passionately developed and delivered the finest quality cricket equipment to the world. But never in this manufacturing have these bats or balls lost the artisan's touch or the serenity of the British tradition of manufacturing a miracle in wood. But sports are not the only sector where Sialkot's entrepreneurial brains are making history. The same principle is applied to the leather goods industry where finest leather collected from all over the country is seasoned to perfection manufacturing saddlery, harness, a wide variety of belts, the steamy leather jacket or the sports and safety shoes including performance motorbike apparel, that make their way to the international market. These skillful people inspiring the world through their best hands in making the leather bags and outstanding customized office stuff which is exported all around the globe. Designer wear is dazzled by the quality and designs of shoes manufactured at Sialkot as the industry aims to become the third largest export of the city after sports goods and surgical equipment. The leather goods industry utilizes the best of local talent to produce the finest of global products. The warmer weather across its plains does not hinder Sialkot's entrepreneurs to venture into gloves industry where a versatile range of gloves including fashion, racing, working and safety gloves are manufactured by skilled experts. The fireproof fabric and the Bee Keeping uniforms are a new addition to the pool of creative products that have the potential to reinforce the industry. A similar innovation in the safety apparel production that is changing the dynamics of the safety gear industry in the region. Imagine anything from manufacturing of surgical equipment to electrical devices for medical use and Brand Sialkot welcomes you with a unique service.

The Techno-surgical equipment saving thousands of lives around the world is the latest innovation in the field of modern surgery offered right here at the heart of Sialkot. Fusing the skills of traditionally trained labor with modern technology, Sialkot has achieved what other business centers dream of achieving through years of development. The quality military uniforms and badges developed at Sialkot serve the needs of soldiers at our borders as a humble tribute to their services for the country. The police uniforms, hunting gear and apparels are yet another contribution by our skilled craftsmen. A similar approach has taken the city's cutlery and musical instruments industry to new heights. Where one is serving households and hospitality industry throughout the world, the other offers a unique opportunity to cater the music industry all around. The innovation of pressure cookers (kitchen ware) produced to perfection is a unique one while musical traditions continue with Halifax and Middle Eastern instruments production. One of the finest contributions by Sialkot is not produced in a factory but grown across the beautiful plains of the city. The export quality rice produced in Sialkot is high in demand and is packaged and processed for supply within and outside the country to an ever-increasing craving. And more is what Sialkot offers to all the stakeholders of this unique brand. Where the international brands get their quality standards met all too well for their expectations, the employees in the city are provided with a chance to improve their standard of life. With its employee friendly policies and efforts, Sialkot is an interesting study of what creative business leaders can change in the corporate culture. With a constant demand of new skilled labor and staff, Sialkot provides the highest employment percentage in the country. Perhaps the only city in the world where thousands of employees go to work with smiles on their faces and hopes in their heart. The entrepreneurs of SIALKOT have made it their first and foremost aim to keep on touching new horizons. What makes their contributions stand out is the fact that these industrialists and businessmen openheartedly contribute from their earnings to develop the city. The new roads and excellent infrastructure is the self-accelerated effort of these minds. They realize the value of good education for youth and have taken initiative of developing several universities and institutes in the city with the aim of a developed, educated youth in due time. With future of trade going back to its roots, Sialkot stands at the turning point in history. The promises of China Pakistan Economic Corridor and the promises of ecommerce have started to grasp the minds of Sialkot's industry. The brand that has made its mark in a hundred years is set to carve it in stone for a hundred more. As the dawn of tomorrow shines its first light on the progressive city besides Chenab, the world looks forward. To a land of the passionate, the skilled, the creatives. To a land of opportunities and achievements.

There are many organisations and people who regularly produce news magazines and newsletters. Not only the professional publishers, but also societies, schools, marketing organisations, industry groups and many more institutions that publish newsletters. Until now, they could choose between using a wordprocesser or html editor, with the drawback that the content and lay-out are not seperated, making redesign or reuse a tedious task, or buying a full-blown content management system, that costs ten thousands of euros.
Genias' Virtual Media Publisher, G-VMP, Standard Edition has been designed to fill the gap. Derived from the professional G-VMP Pro, it provides just the functionality people need to manage one magazine or newsletter. But with the seperation of content and lay-out, which are not provided by a word-processing programme, and at a unprecedented price level compared to other content management systems.
"We also receive a lot of magazines over the Internet ourselves," stated Ad Emmen, director of Genias, "We noted that most of these are still made with word-processors, or even sent as plain text. This is a pity, because once locked into a specific word-processor format, reusing the valuable content becomes almost impossible."
The G-VMP Standard Edition is an XML based management/editoral system for a magazine or newsletter which stores all articles as XML documents. G-VMP includes a set-up screen to define the lay-out and the structure of a magazine. It has an editor built in, and a repository, allowing to upload and include images.
"We wanted to give our customers all they need to publish their magazine or newsletter on a Web site or send it to their readers by e-mail," Ad Emmen continued,,"Hence we include a server that can be used as a Web server, an XML based search engine and the possibility to specify the target Web site."
G-VMP Standard has been developed by Genias Benelux partly in a number of R&D projects funded with many partners all over Europe, with support from the European Commission. It contains state-of-the-art XML-technology and is completely open standards based. Hence it can run on any operating system, including Windows, Linux and MacOSX.
