Studio SV, the prodco founded by rapper Lupe Fiasco, has secured a distribution deal with pan-Asian channel operator Celestial Tiger Entertainment (CTE) for its debut series Beat n Path.
CTE will air the martial arts documentary series on its action-entertainment network Kix, which is accessible in South-East Asia and Hong Kong. Beat n Path will premiere on the channel in March 2018 in a primetime slot.
The series follows Fiasco (real name Wasalu Jaco) as he embarks on a journey across China, living out his passion for martial arts by practising with Kung Fu masters throughout China, while also exploring China's burgeoning hip hop scene.
It is the first programme to emerge from Studio SV, which Fiasco launched in October with Bonnie Chan Woo, CEO of Hong Kong marketing firm Icicle Group.
"The Celestial Tiger team have a keen understanding of the audience that will love this series and are astute at reaching them in unique ways, resulting in great connectivity with viewers and a mutually beneficial relationship for our companies," said Chan Woo. "They have been down this road before and hit home runs with many programmes, so we're excited Beat n Path is in their fold."

Fast, faster, fastest
You can easily call this Jos Thoné's motto, certainly when talking about his pure sprint racers. Next to an excellent racing team in the longer middle distance, long distance and extreme long distance, Jos also has a uniquely balanced racing team where speed is combined with strength and a large dose of endurance and weekly achieves great results in the pure sprint races. This results in a chain of first prices and championship titles. Even after several sales (in 2016 all old birds were auctioned off ) Jos Thoné continues his momentum and retains his place at the top. Icons of the sprint team are without a doubt Kajo ( 1st Provincial Ace Bird Sprint KBDB and 14 x 1st), Avril (20 x 1st prize), Cavendish (1st Provincial Ace Bird Sprint KBDB) and Sachi (1st National La Souterraine 23,848 birds, as well as a ball of pure speed). New hits are Babe (1st National Ace Bird LCB and 1st Provincial/ 3rd National Ace Bird Sprint KBDB 2017), Star (a super racer) and Gagan (1st-1st-1st-2nd-2nd-2nd-…).

Terressa Dotson
NESTA Certified Personal Trainer
I graduated from The Art Institute of Phoenix with a BA in Marketing. While marketing and connecting with people is one of my biggest passions, I went through a phase in college where I debated changing my major to kinesiology. I love the way the body moves and how we have the ability to change both mentally and physically. This quickly became a hobby after college when I longed for the days of team workouts and competition. I followed through with my BS and ended up getting my Personal Training Certificate in 2012 after I couldn't suppress the love any longer.
I grew up as a dancer and cheerleader where lifting up my teammates was a huge priority. As a trainer, I strive to do the same for clients and really dig into the core meaning of their workouts. Sometimes it's pushing for that extra weight or quicker stride and sometimes it's a hug!
Favorite Music To Work Out To: Some days it's 80s rock, others it's increased-tempo mixes to today's hits.
Favorite Exercise: Anything booty! burpees, lunges, squats- all of it. Booty day is the best day.
Favorite Quote: "Whatever you fear most has no power- it is your fear that has the power" – Oprah

NESTA Certified Personal Trainer
Favorite Music to workout to: I have had the same playlist on my shuffle that I use for running for the last two years. I just keep adding current songs to freshen it up. There is a mix of 80's, 90's, current hits, country and rap. I have every lyric and note memorized from listening to it so much! I have been having fun making playlists for my bootcamps to go with the vibe of the workout. Somedays I amp it up with some rock or maybe some 90's old school hip hop. I am always down for requests!
Favorite Exercise: Anything involving a kettlebell! Then I love to top it off with any variation of a plank….walkup planks, side planks (personal fav), shifting plank, one legged plank….you name it I plank!
I have always had a love for fitness that started at a young age at home. Growing up I was always playing a sport…volleyball, basketball, softball and soccer. I might not have been the superstar of the team but I learned that hard work and teamwork were the keys to enjoying what you were doing. After college I started to really get into running. I just wanted to get back into shape so I hit the treadmill. Then I soon discovered how great it was to run outside. I entered my first 5K and never looked back. I have run so many half marathons that I have lost track and I am currently training for my 5th marathon.
I have a degree from UWM in Criminal Justice with a minor in sociology. However life led me in a different direction in the retail world. I am currently the General Manager of a Carter's/Oshkosh By'gosh store. I started working out at WILD in 2013 in the beloved Kettlebell camp. I loved the vibe of the gym! It was so welcoming and inclusive. I started to see amazing results and made me confident in my athletic abilities. There simply is no other place like it! I was lucky enough to go through an internship program with WILD which has provided me with an amazing part time job! It has been challenging yet so rewarding for me to be able to have an impact in the client's lives.

Favorite music to workout to: I admittedly have an awful "pop"-filled playlist (like Britney Spears & Katy Perry), stuff that embarrasses my husband when I request it… but the upbeat fast tempo keeps me going on my long runs!
Favorite exercise to torture clients with at Wild: I wouldn't call it torture! They are some of my favorites so I like coaching them in class; kettle bell windmills, Turkish get-ups & really, Bosu's make everything more fun! Favorite quote: "I have come to believe that caring for myself is not self-indulgent. Caring for myself is an act of survival." -Audre Lorde. As a wife and a mother I can sometimes feel guilt for taking time to exercise. I have to remind myself, it's because I take this time to better myself that MAKES me a better wife & mother.
I grew up in SE WI and went to school at UW-La Crosse. I would never have described myself as particularly athletic, I went through cycles of exercising and not. About a year after my youngest was born I was at my heaviest weight of 180 and decided something had to change, so I signed up for the 2011 Dirty Girl with a friend. I rode the "Groupon" train for awhile and tried a lot of different programs but there wasn't one in particular that I connected with.
Then I met Amber and connected with Wild Workouts.That's when I REALLY started seeing changes! I started with a 30 day weight-loss challenge, joined the Run Wild sessions, Cycling & Strength, and at the end of last summer made the Brewers Half my goal with the Wild training program. In 2014 I ran my first marathon! I couldn't imagine my life without fitness anymore, the people at Wild have given me so much that I'm excited to be a client turned Wild coach and be able pay it forward.
Tara Baszler
NESTA Certified Personal Trainer
Favorite music to workout to: Early 90s rap and hip hop. Favorite exercise at Wild: RDLs, bench press, lifting heavy! Favorite quote: Have no fear of perfection. You'll never reach it. – Salvador Dali.
I have a bachelor's degree in Genetics from UW Madison and a Masters of Forensic Science from George Washington University. Science has always been my strong suit, I love to research and analyze problems. I spent years to do research in Neurobiology, Cardiac transplant, Genetic Oncology and cocaine addiction. After the birth of my first child, I realized working full time, going to school at night (Law School this time), caring for a preemie and a new marriage was more than I could handle. I took a step back and decided to stay home with my kids for the next 10 years.
I grew up as a gymnast and dancer and fell in love with the weight room in high school. I was always pretty active and my husband and I regularly have workout dates, but after my the birth of my third child (and second c-section), I had difficulty bouncing back on my own. I tried a couple of personal trainers before I met Amber and her energy was contagious. I was a client for 2 years before I joined the admin team and am now excited to have had made yet another transition into Personal Training. I earned my Personal Trainer Certification from NESTA in October and have been continuing my education ever since.
Christy Guinane
Favorite music to work out to: My musical taste is pretty all-inclusive, but if I really want to be fired up, Red Hot Chili Peppers' cover of "Higher Ground" must be on the playlist. Favorite Exercise: There are so many to choose from, but I think kettlebell swings have to win this one. And deadlifts! And maybe I don't LOVE burpees, but I respect them and what they do for us. So basically a kettlebell-deadlift-burpee workout set to "Higher Ground" sounds pretty great to me.
Favorite Quote: "Fall in love with the process, and the results will follow." I admit I don't know the original author of this quote, but it's so applicable. I think we'd all agree that embarking upon a fitness journey as a way to get healthier is a GREAT thing. But I find that something really magical happens when we stop honing in quite so much on a number on the scale, and start focusing on what we can DO. That process is where you go from being a burpee-hater to a burpee-respecter; it's where you look forward to your workouts because you want to crush that PR rather than go through the motions out of a sense of obligation. It's where you start to build camaraderie with the people in your classes. I see this process every single day at Wild and it's a really great thing to be a part of.
I have been active as a means of (semi-successful) weight management for my entire adult life, but it wasn't until I started taking group exercise classes and weight training that I started to view exercise as more than just calories burned. Once I found workouts that I loved to do, I found myself no longer saying "I have to work out today." I did and still do look forward to my workouts, whether it's a long walk with the dog or a kettlebell-deadlift-burpee killer. And with this shift in focus, that semi-successful weight management I mentioned became fully successful and has been maintained for 3 years – which is about 2.5 years longer than my (many, many) previous weight-loss attempts. I consider it an honor to be able to work with people as they find their own process. And I apologize in advance for all of my cheesy jokes!

Favorite music to workout to: Classic rock and romping blues. Favorite thing about Wild Workouts and wellness: All of the different people with different backgrounds striving to be healthier and more fit, sharing the experience. Favorite quote: "To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift." – Steve Prefontaine
Gym class and sports were my favorite parts of high school, and running, biking and cross-country skiing have kept me active for more than 20 years. Workouts provided an opportunity to clear my head during my almost 30 years as a newspaper reporter and freelance writer. I joined Wild Workouts nearly three years ago, and have been motivated by the people around me in classes. The opportunity to coach has been invigorating.

Genre: Romance
Shot in the East Bay Oakland area of San Francisco, this sweet film examines the monotony and stillness of Wayne's (the central character) life.
With a wife, two children and a home, Wayne is ostensibly living the American dream. But Wayne is preoccupied with the life he thinks he wants, frustrated by the life he actually has, and nothing that happens shakes him off the track of the life he doesn't remember choosing.
This is partially accomplished by the long shots and the successive shots of rooftops, buses and the kitchen table by first-time director Frazer Bradshaw. After seven years working as a DP, Bradshaw knows how to convey feelings through cinematography and paint a visual picture.
Clad in orange overalls and either walking or taking the bus, Wayne, a carpenter, sees himself as a clown, a character that he actually assumes at children's' parties.
Performances, deliberately flat, help to convey the frustration of the characters' lives. Laconic narration by Wayne and flashbacks let us know that before the kids were born Wayne and his wife Beth liked each other and had fun together. They had dreams about their life and the future. But youthful dreams have been deferred to adult reality.
Wayne comes to understand the difference between his needs and desires. He also realizes that his friends are equally bored and trapped - Leo separating from his wife and Manny, shooting crack in his car.

Test Match
- Created Tuesday, December 16th 2014 @ 00:21:40
Hey Guys,
In the past challenge, when we uploaded a bot, we could count on the full output of the game to observe if, and where, a new version of our bot would crash. The output now only shows:
Running testcase /opt/aigames/etc/testswarlightaichallenge2/testwarlightaichallenge2.txt... Testing Bot with setup input... ... finished testcase in 0.109999999404 seconds Test failed: no output
Is there any way we could default back to the complete line-by-line output so that we can debug this error with less guesswork? I appreciate it!
DeveloperUpdated Tuesday, December 16th 2014 @ 09:50:49
That means your bot failed the input test, because it gives no output at all. Once your bot gives some output at least it will pass this test and play the test match as you are used to. By the way, this was also the exact same with Warlight 1
- Created Tuesday, December 16th 2014 @ 18:50:24
Cool! Thanks for the clarification Jim!
- Created Friday, December 19th 2014 @ 13:23:37
If its any help when i copied my bot from the first challenge it was failing this test as it was returning 6 regions instead of 1 (May have previously been broken)

The Challenge:
In spite of his astute intelligence and 23 years of leadership experience, Shishir was never considered to be an influential leader. Nobody wanted to be a part of his projects and he was considered to be a bad boss who sapped motivation, killed ideas, and made one want to run from the job! During meetings, he would cut someone off for "dumb" ideas. As a result his team learnt to keep quiet and let the boss set the course. The organization found that he had the right technical capabilities, but he didn't have the requisite people-persuasion-influence skills required to lead a positive team.
The Accomplishments:
Coach Vikram observed that Shishir gave the impression of being an attention seeker which negatively affected how other stakeholders perceived him. At the onset of the coaching journey, Coach Vikram provided Shishir with breakthrough insights into how to break his habits of narcissism while interacting with people and how to develop empathetic listening skills. As the coaching progressed, Shishir had a step-by-step plan on how to enhance his self-awareness, increase his likeability quotient, and positively influence his first impression among his stakeholders. Shishir was coached to lead pre-dominantly using the positive behaviours of Power to give feedback and exert positive influence through his personal brand. Post 6 months of coaching, there was an atmosphere of trust and support from his team that helped Shishir see a better way to lead that was effortless yet very productive. All of this also resonated with his organization's values. 9 months through the coaching process, Shishir successfully achieved his agreed upon positive results in behaviours and was all set to perform in larger, rapidly-changing roles in a globalised world.

Exercise Tips
Rowing machines or 'rowers' are designed to simulate the action of rowing a boat, and they're one of the best fat-burning and body-building workouts you can have. Best of all, you do it sitting down - so rowing machine exercise doesn't put stress on your hip, knee, and ankle joints.
Firm up flabby areas
Rowing on a rowing machine is a tough workout. The constant stretching and pulling is great for firming up your stomach and backside as well as toning your limbs. You may not lose weight, but your body shape will change for the better.
Build up strength
A vigorous row can be a huge strength-booster. Rowing hard at high resistance will increase muscle and shoulder size, making you broader and more muscular.
Maintain supple limbs
When using a rowing machine you row in long, sweeping movements, which is great for maintaining flexibility. Make sure you warm up and warm down properly, though, and don't over-extend yourself when rowing - this can lead to 'hyperextension', or muscle strains.

SunGard HE and Datatel Tango in $1.78-billion Merger
by Elbert Chu
The Deal
SunGard Higher Education Inc. and Datatel Inc. announced Aug 8, that pending U.S. regulatory approval, they will be merging into one behemoth education technology company. If the deal goes through as planned, the still-unnamed-company of 3,000 people will serve over 2,300 colleges, universities, foundations and state systems in 40 countries, or roughly 50% of the market (according to an Educause report).
Combined annual sales from the marriage will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $600M, putting pressure on competitors Campus Management, Jenezabar, and Oracle. Current Datatel CEO, John Speer, becomes CEO of the new company. Current CEO of SunGard HE, Ron Lang, becomes Vice Chairman of the board of directors. Likely to be finalized by March 2012 at the SunGard Summit.
Hellman & Friedman is the private equity firm purchasing SunGard HE from SunGard Data Systems Inc. to augment their 2009 purchase of Datatel for $570M. The companies both provide software to higher education schools that help manage complex administration solutions for enterprise resource planning, human resources, financial aid, student data, and mission critical after the "gainful employment" rules, recruitment and retention.
In a joint presentation, both Speer and Lang struck an upbeat tone, lauding the benefits of bigger is better. They promised more innovation, more collaboration, continued investment in existing products from each company.
Cause for Concern
Schools make sizable investments of cash and time into products like SunGard HE's Banner, and Datatel's Colleague. Once they commit to a system, administrators want to be assured many years of support and continued development. Understandably, this announcement is might make some schools squirm. Inside Higher Ed explains that the companies have many overlaps, and while a lot of cuts will be gutting redundant management, the schools are worried about the product lines:
For customers, the implications of Friday's deal are not immediately clear. In the care of a private equity firm, the new company will probably not be allowed to carry a lot of extra fat, said Barbara Brown, president of EduServe International, a consulting firm that specializes in ERP software and is not attached to any particular company.
What to look out for:
Brown said she would advise her higher ed clients to be on guard against marginal changes in price and service over the next three to five years. To the extent that its private-equity overseers will be looking to build a lean operation and achieve economies of scale through the merger, the new company will probably be smaller than the sum of its parts, she said.
"Be cautious about signing new contracts, and make sure you're in a position to negotiate new maintenance contracts," said Brown. "[And] look at response time on help calls."
Campus Technology has an interesting perspective from Nicole Englebert, of Ovum.
"…she doesn't foresee cuts in the client services or support areas. "They don't want to jeopardize their installed base. That would be insanity."
Also left intact, she predicted: SunGard's professional services. "That is something that has always set it apart from Datatel or Oracle or Campus Management. SunGard's professional services are above and beyond. They truly have a professional services organization that the other firms could never really compete with."

Happy New Year, 2016
This greeting is retroactive to midnight, January 1, 2016. Sorry it took 4 days….(today is Monday, the 4th )
This blog is part of one of my New Year's resolutions; let's see how well THAT goes.
I am in Portland Oregon, downtown, China-Pearl Village and well…
The city has out-underperformed once again:
A little snow Sunday morning and no one does ANYTHING about it.
24 hours later, try to drive or walk to work: FORGET IT!
Ice everywhere – except the retailers that were open on Sunday, whose sidewalks were DRY – impossible to walk.
Laid back or La-zy?
answer: lazy

Tell anyone he or she snores loudly and the immediate response will be an emphatic "I do not!"
That reaction is not always a denial of their snoring problem. A lot of loud snorers are not aware that they snore. They may keep other people awake with their loud snores but they won't wake themselves up from all that racket. Yes, even though their snores can reach more than 100 decibels – the loud roar of a Boeing 747 before landing or a power lawn mower – they do not wake up because of it.
There are a number of reasons for this. According to the National Sleep Foundation, about 40% of adult males snore and most of them are not aware of their snoring problems. Snoring in itself is not a problem but it can lead to more serious problems like increased risk for heart diseases and cognitive decline.
So, why do people not wake up to the sound of their own snoring?
Despite all the racket they are making in their sleep, their loud snores do not wake them up. Is it because they are deaf to their own snores?
The answer, to put it simply, is no. But there are a few reasons why people do not wake up to the sound of their own snoring, and they are listed below.
- They're in the stage of deep sleep.
People have different sensitivities to sounds at different stages of sleep. A person in a deep slow wave sleep stage will not awaken from loud sounds, even noises as loud as a jackhammer being used nearby.
Snorers do wake up from time to time due to their own snoring. They just do not realize it or remember it when they wake up the next day.
A particularly big snort will wake the person up, but only for a few seconds. That very short span of time is not enough to fully awaken the person and have that waking episode be registered on the conscious brain. This explanation is put forth by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine on why people think they do not wake up to the sound of their snoring.
This quick sleep interruption may seem too short to make any profound impact on sleep. However, these seemingly harmless sleep disturbances can increase sleepiness during the day, along with low energy levels and other symptoms of sleep disturbance.
- The brain is selective to noise disturbances when one is asleep.
Another reason for not waking up to the sound of one's own snore is that the brain is selective when it comes to sensory information it encounters. It does not always respond to every stimulus it encounters. Responses, when they do happen, are not always of the same intensity.
The brain has the capacity to collect information and process it, determining which one warrants immediate attention and which ones are better ignored. The ones that the brain recognizes as a potential threat to life are the ones given the most attention, with the most immediate or intense response. Those that are not deemed as life-threatening are either left alone or responded to in a less intense manner.
For example, people will wake up to the gentle mention of their name but not to their raucous snoring. They will immediately snap to attention when they hear a window breaking but not to the sound of their own snores.
Again, this is because the brain selects what to react to and to what degree, according to Dr. Meir Kryger of the Yale University School of Medicine. If the brain thinks that the sound is urgent or life-threatening, then it will wake the person up. If the brain decides that the sound is not threatening, it will tune it out. That's how the brain treats snoring.
However, in case of sleep apnea (inadequate oxygen supply during sleep), the brain detects low oxygen levels related to snoring. It will wake the person up for a few seconds to readjust position and improve airflow.
- The brain tunes out continuous sound while one is asleep.
Take a look at people who have problems falling and staying asleep. One solution is for them to listen to soothing music to lull them to sleep. Some sleep experts even recommend playing the music on loop to keep an individual in a state of slumber. That's because the brain recognizes the music as a continuous sound, deems it harmless, and thus doesn't "bug" the person to wake up. That's how sound and sleep work.
Snoring is considered a continuous sound. The brain has the tendency to tune out repeated, persistent stimuli such as snoring. It's a natural response in order to give the brain peace to be able to fall asleep.
This natural response helps in optimizing and streamlining brain functions. The brain tunes out certain repetitive stimuli so it can concentrate its efforts on more important things. At first, the brain will pay attention to a stimulus. It will observe and see if that stimulus is potentially threatening. If not, then the brain will reduce the attention it gives. If the stimulus persists, the brain will eventually ignore it because it's not that important.
Tuning out is a natural response to reduce the amount of stimuli that the brain has to process. This explanation was presented by Dr. Raj Kakar, the director of Dallas Center for Sleeping Disorders. Dr. Kakar went on to explain that a snorer's brain has become so used to the snore that the brain is no longer giving it much attention.
The reasons stated above are just some of the attempts made to discover the reasons behind why snoring doesn't wake up the snorer. Further research still needs to be done to pinpoint the exact causes. Still, one thing is important: Snoring can be harmful to the snorer and the people around him. Aside from the aforementioned increased risk of cognitive decline and heart diseases, being exposed to the loud sounds of snoring (90 decibels or more) for more than 8 hours can cause permanent ear damage, according to the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). That's why it's important to seek help once one is aware that he or she has a snoring problem.

Late call had no bearing - Green
Robert Green insists England coach Fabio Capello's late team announcements had no bearing on his goal-costing error against the United States in the World Cup.
Green only found out two hours before kick off that he was Capello's first-choice keeper in preference to David James and Joe Hart. The West Ham player allowed a 25-yard shot from USA midfielder Clint Dempsey to slip from his grasp and over the goal-line for the equaliser in a 1-1 draw.
"Only knowing two hours before the game that you are playing is not a problem. You prepare as though you're playing," he said. "If you don't, that's the mistake. The other guys prepared as though they were playing today and we will again for Friday."
He added: "You prepare for Friday as though you are playing again. It's not a surprise when you are playing then.
"It's not a problem, it's not an issue, you deal with it. It's fine, you carry on.
"Tell me why is it easier if you know the number one? You prepare as though you are number one anyway. That's it."
Green is now desperate to be given the chance to make amends by Capello against Algeria in Cape Town on Friday.
He said: "It was a mistake. It's something that happens in life. I would love to have stopped it. It's obviously a genuine, horrible mistake but it's something to deal with.
"You prepare mentally for making those mistakes, that's what you do the preparation for, mentally, before a game. You don't let it affect you.
"You want to be tested. Playing lovely football and making wonderful saves is not a challenge. This is a challenge and this is why you are a footballer. It's how you bounce back from things like that."

Cognitive assistance
In order to help cognitive impaired patients to avoid (or recover from) a dangerous situation or compensate their cognitive impairments, this task aims at defining intelligent agents able to help the patients in the case of a crisis (e.g. amnesia) or in a dangerous situation. This requires the identification of dangerous situations and cognitive impairments and the definition of "cognitive helps" in response to a potentially dangerous situation.

#10 Smalling
Chris Smalling seems to be holding his own after the first few games of the season. Manchester United may be mediocre at best when it comes to attacking but at the moment Chris is proving to be quiet the leader with the back four. Saying that, they lost to Swansea last week but that probably has to do more with a certain Dutchman than Chris. PREVIEW FOR #9: Another addition from Old Trafford comes in the form of the youngster Luke Shaw who spent a bit of time last season out with injury. Since his return he has shown his determination to please Van Gaal and still holds a lot of untapped potential. With De Gea now staying put the defence may just be able to organise themselves.

This series consists of talks in the area of Quantum Gravity.
TBA In the framework set by the AdS/MERA conjecture, we investigate a generalisation of the Tensor Network description of bulk geometry in the language of Group Field Theories, a promising convergence of insights and results from Matrix Models, Loop Quantum Gravity and simplicial approaches. We establish a first dictionary between Group Field Theory and Tensor Network states. With such a dictionary at hand, we target the calculation of the Ryu-Takayanagi formula recently derived for Random Tensor Networks in the quantum gravity formalism.
In this talk I will discuss issues and possibilities to outline Quantum Gravity Phenomenology using cosmological and astrophysical data. After a brief review on some formal aspect of the problem I will focus on the analysis of in-vacuo dispersion features for GRB (gamma-ray-burst) neutrinos of energy in the range of 100 TeV, and for GRB photons with energy in the range of 10 GeV. I will introduce a strategy of data analysis which has the advantage of being applicable to several alternative possibilities for the laws of propagation of neutrinos and other particles in a quantum spacetime.
In this talk, I will show that light cones in MInkowski spacetime are a beautiful analoue of black hole horizons in curved spacetime. To do so, I will prove the analogue of the four laws of black hole thermodynamics in this setting. This is what we called light cone thermodynamics. More precisely, I will consider null surfaces defined by the out-going and in-falling wave fronts emanating from and arriving at a sphere in Minkowski spacetime. Such null surfaces, made of pieces of light cones, are bifurcate conformal Killing horizons for suitable conformally stationary observers.
Compatibility of asymptotic safety with UV-completions of matter theories may constrain the underlying microscopic dynamics of quantum gravity. Within truncated RG-flows, a weak-gravity bound originates from the loss of quantum scale-invariance in the matter system. Further constraints could arise when linking Planck-scale to electroweak-scale dynamics. Within the constrained region, gravitationally induced scale-invariance could UV-complete the Standard Model, and moreover explain free parameters such as fermion masses and gauge couplings.
The SYK model and its variants are a new class of large N conformal field theories. In this talk, we solve SYK, computing all connected correlation functions. Our techniques and results for summing all leading large N Feynman diagrams are applicable to a significantly broader class of theories.
The Hilbert space of a theory with diffeomorphism symmetry does not factorize into spatial subregions due to gauge constraints. This presents a challenge for defining a notion of entanglement entropy associated with a subregion in these theories. In this talk, I will describe the extended phase space method of Donnelly and Freidel for handling this nonfactorization. It involves introducing edge modes living at the boundary of the subregion, whose purpose is to restore the diffeomorphism invariance that was broken by the subregion's presence.
Recently it was porposed by Hawking, Perry and Strominger that an infinite number of asymptotic charges may play a role in the decription of black hole entropy. With this context in mind we review the classical definition of surface charges in 3+1 gravity (and electromagnetism) from a slighly different framework by using the tetrad-connection variables. The general derivation follows the canonical covariant symplectic formalism in the language of forms. Applications to 3+1 and 2+1 charged and rotating black hole families are briefly discussed as a check.
There is a growing list of examples where soft factorization theorems in scattering amplitudes can be understood as Ward identities of asymptotic charges. I will review some of these, with emphasis on cases that are not associated to usual conservation laws: leading scalar, subleading photon and sub-subleading graviton soft theorems.
We consider classical, pure Yang-Mills theory in a box. We show how a set of static electric fields that solve the theory in an adiabatic limit correspond to geodesic motion on the space of vacua, equipped with a particular Riemannian metric that we identify. The vacua are generated by spontaneously broken global gauge symmetries, leading to an infinite number of conserved momenta of the geodesic motion. We show that these correspond to the soft multipole charges of Yang-Mills theory.
Quantum effects render black holes unstable. In addition to Hawking radiation, which leads to the prediction of a long lifetime, there is the possibility of quantum tunneling of the black hole geometry itself. A robust possibility for treating the quantum tunneling of a spacetime geometry is through a complex path integral and Picard-Lefschetz theory.

"As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of the thorn bush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord's renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever." ~ Isaiah 55:10-13
While preparing for worship this week, my mind has been stuck on Sunday's passage from the Hebrew Bible from the prophet Isaiah, which is printed above. As I have been reflecting on this passage, the following section, in particular, has been stuck with my spirit: "So is my word that goes out from my mouth; It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace." In this section, God says that the Word will be sent out to accomplish everything that God sends it to do. But what is really wonderful then, is that God talks about sending us out too - in the very next line! God promises to send us out into the world, filled with joy and peace to accomplish the things that we have been created to do. Each and every one of us was created as a beautiful, beloved Child of God, loved more than we can ever imagine, and made in God's image. Each of us has been given unique talents and abilities to serve God in the world. And each of us has been sent out from this community of faith to sow seeds of God's love, joy, and peace in the world.
As we prepare to worship together on Sunday, take a few moments to reflect on this passage for yourself. What does God send you out to do in the world? What does it mean for you to be sent out in joy and led forth in peace? And how do you experience God's love, joy, and peace as you seek to accomplish the things that God sent you to do? I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday and to hearing about your own reflections on this passage.

Why You Should Like English Premier League
When it comes to football, most people think about English Premier League. This is because the league is considered as the most famous football league in the world because of its competitive value and financial power. Despite that, the top clubs in the league also have respectful history which make each of them to attract a lot of fans. There are two reason why you should love the league, it is because the competition and the players.
The Competition
The competition of English Premier League is always exciting, especially in these recent years. This because the points between the champions and other clubs in best 5 usually not too far. Even, we could see the change of league leader several times when the league is going through the year. Not only have the top spot, the mid table and relegation battle also attracted a lot of people because in English Premier League, lower clubs can beat top clubs. Compared to other top league in Europe, English Premier League winner cannot be predicted. The most shocking league winner is Leicester city in 15/16 season. They only need 1 season to be a champion after coming back from England's second tier competition, The Championship. Throughout the history, the league always has different top flight clubs, only the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal who always compete in the top flight. In 21st century, clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur arise from mid-table clubs into EPL's top clubs. While Chelsea and Manchester tasted the throne of EPL because of their very strong financial power, Tottenham arise to compete in the top flight purely because of their coach, young players, and tactics but the never won the league in 21st century.
In recent seasons mid table, we could see the likes of Everton, Stoke City, Southampton, West Ham, Crystal Palace, and West Bromwich. While the lower league always changed each season since three clubs always relegated to the second division, Championship league and three clubs from Championship league promoted to EPL, replacing the relegated clubs. Relegated clubs are those who sit between 18th to 20th positions at the end of the season. The promoted clubs from second division are the top two of the table and one from League playoff between clubs from position 3rd to 6th place. All of the mid table clubs are battling for a position in Europe's second tier competition, the UEFA Europa League. The club in 5th position goes straight to the competition, while winner of FA cup and League cup also go to the competition. The top three at the end of the league go straight to the prestigious UEFA Champions League, while the fourth place needs to do a playoff to decide if they can win play in Champions League or lose and go to Europa League. As the time goes on, the clubs that fight in EPL always attract a lot of people because there are no clear clues about who is going to qualify for European competition or who is going to win the League. This is the greatest that EPL has compared to other top league in Europe. agen sbobet
The Player
The players that play in EPL are top quality players that have a lot of fans through the entire world. Thanks to the broadcasting power that EPL has, the league is the most profitable league because of their TV revenue. Because of the exposure, there are more talents from EPL acknowledged by people compared to players from other top league. The top clubs in EPL also produce and get great players in order to achieve their goal.
In the goal scoring competition in EPL, names like Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney should be familiar to you. Where players like Harry Kane that wins the golden boot two season in a row and Jamie Vardy who scored for 11 matches in a row and break the previous 10 matches record arise in recent seasons. EPL has the most talented players in the world since there are more top players that compete for the title compared to other league. The TV exposure and financial power that the clubs in EPL have also attract a lot of talented player from other league to play in EPL.
World class goalkeepers that play in EPL are David de Gea, Hugo Lloris, Petr Cech, and Thibaut Courtois. All of their skill are acknowledged by a lot of football fans in the world. Even in football game like Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA, those four have high rating although none of them are the best in the world. There are also a lot of highly valued defenders such as David Luiz, Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, Phil Jones, Laurent Koscielny, and Vincent Kompany. The stats gathered by a lot of sources mentioned that EPL's midfielders are more lethal compared to other league. World class midfielders that play in EPL are Mesut Ozil, Cesc Fabregas, Christian Eriksen, Paul Pogba, David Silva, and Philippe Coutinho. Famous strikers or goal scorers in EPL are Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero, Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alvaro Morata, Alexandre Lacazette, and Roberto Firminho.
Besides the payer mentioned above, EPL also has exciting young talents and people are likely to know them because of the exposure. Young players such as Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Dele Alli, and Alex Oxlaide Chamberlain are those who played well in EPL's top tier clubs. A lot of football fans are not expecting young players from EPL since most elite clubs in EPL buy player that already have skills or developed potential from clubs outside the league. Tottenham Hotspur is the only top club who consistently buying undeveloped young players and develop their own academy player.
Rough competition and a lot of talents, England is considered to have the best football league in the entire world. The financial power and TV revenue that the league has have made them known by a lot of people. Currently sitting at the third rank in Europe's best league, we could see English Premier League to rise into the top spot in near future.

2019: 'Rivers APC Needs A Neutral Candidate To Confront Wike'
A pressure group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, the Rivers Unity House (RUH) has said the party needs a gubernatorial candidate who is neutral in the seeming division within the party to confront Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike in the 2019 general election.
Convener of RUH, Kingsley Wenenda Wali, who disclosed this yesterday while addressing a press conference in Port Harcourt, attributed the seeming division within the APC in the state to the premature gubernatorial ambition of few members of the party.
Wali urged the party to give its gubernatorial ticket to billionaire entrepreneur, Architect Tonye Dele Cole, saying that his leadership is a panacea for resolving the life threatening politics of hate and contention in the state.
He said: "The unique selling points of The Rivers Unity House advocacy of a Tonye Cole leadership as a panacea for resolving the life threatening politics of hate and contention in Rivers State were and still remain as follows:
"The present division within the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a political party, especially occasioned by the premature gubernatorial ambition of a few, and the clandestine push of the others for the same purpose, requires a neutral person.
"Tonye Cole will be the elixir for Rivers State electorate that have desire for real and effective governance away from the present rancorous knee jerk governance deficit of the PDP
"Tonye Cole possesses the finesse that befits the new narrative of responsible and progressive political leadership. Tonye Cole packs a formidable credential, out of his personal endeavour that he will not be perceived as a political lap dog.
"Tonye Cole possesses the political war chest to substantially fund his campaign and thereby depend less on public resources for the purpose. Tonye Cole can leverage on the political/business goodwill he has with leading industrialists and political leaders in the country & the world.
"As a practicing Christian of the Pentecostal denomination, Tonye Cole will do good to all manners of men thereby guaranteeing the full essence of government which is to secure the security and welfare of all citizens.
"Tonye Cole is a neutral/non-controversial person without previous political opponents. This makes him a marketable brand that will appeal to all political tendencies in the State.
"Tonye Cole has never been associated with desperation or acquisition that undermines the interest of others or fellow competitors. Finally, being an entrepreneur, he will apply effective business model to drive the administration of the State."

Oregon waterfalls are a marvel to behold indeed! Multnomah Falls just outside of Portland is an iconic photo opportunity that many people are already aware of. But, if you are traveller and always looking to explore the beauty of nature, especially where it concerns waterfalls, then Oregon is the right place to be. We have enough rain here during most of the year, so you can bet with the mountains and hills, there will be some amazing falls to check out! In this post we are going to talk about some of those wonderful waterfalls, which you cannot afford to miss when you are venturing around the state. So, let us take a look at a scant few of them –
Kentucky waterfalls
Located near the Mapleton Highway 126, this waterfall is all about adventure. If you have ever been bitten by the adventure bug, then Kentucky Waterfalls (pictured above) are going to be a must! Once at the trailhead, you'll get to experience a 4.4 meter hike in accompanied with a steep climb to the return. The beauty of the waterfall lies in the fact that you can witness a twin waterfall here dropping from approx. 200 feet. The beautiful foliage along the way makes it a perfect serene getaway for you.
Sweet Creek Falls
The second name that we have on the list here is that of Sweet Creek Falls (pictured above), which is also located on the Mapleton Highway 126. These four tiered waterfalls, range from a cascade of 10-30 feet, going up to 70 feet. If you love hiking, then there are plenty of small hikes available near the Sweet Creek Falls. Wooden bridges, damp trails, small pools, mossy rocks and plenty of other similar attractions await you as well. So, you are surely in for an adventurous ride.
Proxy Falls
Last name on the list that we have here is that of Proxy Falls (pictured above). Dropping from a whopping 226 feet, Proxy Falls are perhaps one of the best, if not the best, places to be in and around Oregon. It is popular as a family friendly hike, as there are so many serene and beautiful upper and lower sections of the waterfall, which make for an amazing landscape. Plus, it is one of the most photographed waterfalls in the state, making it a huge tourist attraction. If you don't want to miss out on the most popular landscapes in the region, then going to Proxy Falls can be a great idea.
Those were three of the top choices that we have to suggest for you. There are other waterfalls like Diamond Creek Falls, Slat Creek Falls and more, which have lots of exciting things to offer for the nature lovers.
All of them add to the overall beauty of this wonderful state of Oregon. As a nature lover, visiting this part of the world can bring you a lot of surprises. So, whenever you get time to visit the state don't miss out on these amazingly beautiful waterfalls and enjoy the real beauty of nature that awaits you hidden in these falls.

"With these pictures I can't tell much, but the peg head looks like a six course guitar, 5 doubles and a single (probably the treble, historically) plus three harp strings on the second peg box.The nut looks like it had 4 double courses, which makes the extra pegs a mystery from here.It would be helpful if you had pictures of the bridge, which seems to be missing. It appears to be a loose bridge held on with string tension.Overall, a quite interesting instrument.."

This paper presents the results of an analysis of fluid flow in high pressure hydrostatic bearings and seals which can be modeled as infinitely long, closely spaced, rigid parallel plates. The flow is laminar and at low Reynolds number. The fluid is Newtonian with a viscosity which is an exponential function of temperature and pressure. The effect of the temperature variation across the fluid film is found to be extremely significant, and limits the application of the integrated adiabatic energy equation to a narrow range of the parameters.

Things I have learned from my children: "fall down seven times, stand up eight", athletic ability flows from practice, and patience.
Things I have learned from my children
"Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men."
Thomas Huxley
I hadn't paid much attention to babies before my first son was born. I knew that they existed but I hadn't really given a lot of thought to all of the problems that have to be solved for a 8.8 pound (3995 grams: I remember looking at that number on the basket scale when they weighed him right after he was born and being unable to process it; I thought it was some kind of price) infant to grow up into a 140 pound teenager. Each step in the growth process has to start and end with a living person. As the heart and lungs grow they have to continually function, the brain cannot be without oxygen for more than a few minutes without permanent harm or death. I have worked on very few hardware/software systems that operated continuously for more than a few months to a year and none that were substantially modified in that time while operating continuously.
In August of 1995 we took a vacation in Seattle (I remember because the Windows 1995 launch was in full swing). My older son was 13 months old and just starting to walk. He fell down a lot. There was a glass top coffee table with a metal frame. My son whacked his forehead so many times that he had a row of bruises from ear to ear. It made the Japanese aphorism, "Fall down seven times, stand up eight" very real to me.
I was never much of an athlete. I thought that people were born with athletic ability or they weren't. When my son was about two and half a neighbor that was moving away gave us a Fisher Price basketball hoop that could adjust from three to six feet in height. We put it on our back patio and my son would go out and shoot baskets pretty much every day. He didn't make very many at first but he was possessed of the desire to learn. And in a year he got much better even as we adjusted the basket higher. I never thought of athletic ability as the result of a willingness to practice.
My son played soccer on the weekends in different leagues. When he was eleven or twelve the games became more serious and the parents much more intense in their support. I had never thought of myself as "Little League Father" I had no athletic ambitions for my son, nor did I view soccer as a path to a college scholarship. But something about the games could engage a profoundly competitive streak in me. A referee blew a call–in my opinion–and I used some strong language. I was standing near the coach and the referee assumed that the coach had criticized the call and gave him a yellow card. I told the ref it had been me but it did not change his decision. My son was profoundly disappointed in me, as perhaps only a twelve year old can be (teenagers assume that you will be a continual cause for embarrassment and take great care to spend as little time with you as possible.) It's a terrible thing to feel your son's disappointment at your behavior.
I went back to work full time at Cisco in 1998 and was invited to lunch by two women whom I had worked with when I was Cisco employee 1990-94, before I knew much about infants. They both remarked how calm I was compared to what I had been like earlier. I thought back over the last four years of trying to quiet screaming babies by learning from subtle differences in their cries whether they were hungry, or needed changing, or bored, or sick. I clearly remember my younger son, when he was about 9 months old, giving me this very confused look as I was holding him. Then he threw up all over me. He had been trying to figure out what this new sensation meant. Now we both knew. I told them that the last four years had been an exercise in learning how little was actually under my control, or at least subject to verbal–much less written–persuasion. So yes, I had become more patient.
"In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments; there are consequences."
Robert Ingersoll

Baby Elephant in smoked oak by Lucie Kaas, designed by Danish Architects Gunnar Flørning and Harry Vedøe in 1961.
The Elephant measures 11cm.
Posted by Isaac Leung on 18th Apr 2016
A collection of simple and elegant forms come together in an ensemble that is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.
A replica of the wooden elephant first designed by Gunnar Flørning in 1961 in collaboration with children's books illustrator Harry Vedøe, the baby elephant encapsulates the perfect union between the minimalist Danish Modern and the nostalgic simplicity of childhood toys.
The smoked oak, with its pronounced grain patterns and darker tones, has more of a vintage feel compared to the rather more subdued rubberwood variant, making for a good conversation piece. Derived from solid blocks of wood, this object also has a fairly satisfying weight for something of its size.

Our grounding in the scriptural understanding should unite us with the Spirit and the Person of Christ. Conflicts of teachings due to strong likes and dislikes originating from spiritual pride in today's five fold ministers demotivates the listeners. Mere knowledge with no depth and power to change lives is garbage. The Kingdom of God is not in word but in power. Those who follow Christ will be transformed into His likeness by His Spirit and Truth. More than hearing God's Word from a messenger once in a while, we should be constantly led by the voice of the Spirit of life dwelling in us.
If we seek Him with all our heart, He reveals Himself to us individually. His Bride craves to hear the direct voice of the Holy Spirit the Teacher from within because she is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. The Bride of Christ adore Him and follow Him where ever He goes.
The knowledge of His will inspire us to deny ourselves and renew our minds to please the heart of the Father. If we are not spiritually blind and deaf, the Spirit of God stimulates our spirit, soul and body to rejoice in the immortal pleasures in the Kingdom of Light. The power of the Spirit enables us to eternally part with the sinful pleasures of the perishing world through crucifying our flesh with its passions and desires. Word of life has the power to transfer the life of Christ in those who sincerely surrender to live the desires of the Father.
When we come close to the Throne of Grace with a heart of worship, we will kiss the Son and love others as ourselves. But if our knowledge gives us puffed up heads, we fall from the grace in Christ Who made Himself nothing to unfold the mystery of His Father's will. Building a platform in selfish gain by over estimating ourselves and underestimating others, quenches the Spirit and disconnects us from people.
When we know Him more, we will be humbled by what we know. Then considering others greater than us, we will share our limelight with those who know something more about our King and His Kingdom. 'Cause we will understand, we only know by part and what we know is not yet complete before we see Him face to face.
Nevertheless after seeing many faces and hearing many voices, admiring the Bridegroom, the Bride sang adoringly, "He is the fairest of ten thousand to my soul". For her there is no substitute for Christ her King and the voice of His Spirit. The ultimate purpose of any message from above is to transform us and prepare us for the day of transfiguration.
Paul said: Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
Till then we will feed our souls with the Bread of life and quench our thirst with the Spirit of life. Jesus is coming, Amen!
