@TECHREPORT{Paiva91alinear, author = {Valeria De Paiva and Carolyn Brown and Carolyn Brown and Doug Gurr and Doug Gurr and Valeria Paiva}, title = {A Linear Specification Language for Petri Nets}, institution = {}, year = {1991}}
This paper defines a category GNet with object set all Petri nets. A morphism in GNet from a net N to a net N ' gives a precise way of simulating every evolution of N by an evolution of N'. We exhibit a morphism from a simple message handler to one with error—correction, showing that the more refined message handler can simulate any behaviour ofits simple counterpart. The existence of such a morphism proves the correctness of the refinement. Earlier work [BroPO, BG9O, BG] defined a modular theory of elementary Petri nets based on de Paiva's Dialectica categorical models of linear logic. We here modify her construction, defining categories MNC which model intuitionistic linear logic [GL87]. GNet arises naturally from MNSOt, inheriting the structure which models linear logic. This more general framework has several advantages over our previous one. The theory is simplified, we obtain precise results about morphisms as simulations, relating them to CCS, and we obtain a natural extension to marked nets. The linear connectives are modelled in GNet by net combinators. Being functonal, these combinators opt are such that, if each N~is refined by a net N~,then op~(Ns Nm) is refined by opt(N ~ N~,,).We show that the operation of restriction also has this property, and thus (in the language of algebraic specification) our notion ofrefinement composes horizontally with respect to the linear connectives and restriction. Furthermore, our notion ofrefinement composes vertically because it corresponds to categorical morphisms. These properties of our notion of refinement are precisely those required to develop an algebra of nets in which complex nets can be built from smaller components, and refined in a modular and compositional way. We illustrate our approach with an extended example, analogous to Mllner's Jobshop example. 1

Trump's spokesperson Katrina Pierson went on CNN and Brian Stelter asked her if she wanted to retract the absurdly stupid tweet that WE HERE at the Scoop first discovered and made an issue of.
This is what she said:
Wow. Just like the other brilliant spokes-Trumpers, she just bold-facedly lies to defend herself. She says that she was responding to something on the internet, but the tweet was standalone, it was an observation about a debate. If it was a response to "silliness" on Twitter, it would be in reference to that tweet. But it wasn't.
Then she rambles on incoherently about the "silly season" that pundits have been calling this election, but it's precisely because of the clown show of the Trump campaign that it's called that. How do you use as a defense the very thing you created by your idiocy?! Just amazing.
I look forward to Emperor Trump executive ordering Katrina Pierson into the Supreme Court of the United States, and then completely ignoring any rulings they make.

There are certain financial records that don't belong in the shredder, according to Kiplinger.
The IRS has three years to audit a tax return after the filing deadline. Any supporting documents such as credit-card statements, canceled checks, receipts to show deductions, proof of charities donations, mortgage interest or capital gains paperwork can be shredded.
The records listed above should be kept for three years. After that, it's not necessary.
Tax returns, however, should be kept forever. The returns can be used to show information when applying for a mortgage or getting disability insurance. The paper form isn't necessary if you keep a digital copy to cut down on the space it takes.
Stock and mutual fund purchase records, Form 8606, which reports nondeductible IRA contributions, and home-purchase and improvement documents should be kept more than three years. Records that show home improvements should be kept until three years after the home sells.
Documents like brokerage statements, credit-card receipts and pay stubs can be shredded as soon as you log them, check the costs with your monthly billing statements, or use them to report business expenses for tax purposes.

Re: Best settings for transferring avchd to Kindle file HD/iPad for playback
In reply to Vanessa18 • Jan 13, 2013
AVCHD file is in .mts format and cannot be directly transferred to any tablet for playback, conversion is necessary. The best format I recommend is H.264 MP4 because this video codec displays better video quality compared to Divx, MPEG, etc. I use Pavtube Video Converter for such kind of conversion because it has the optimized profile and settings for both Kindle Fire HD and iPad, I don't need get any trouble to re-set.

Campus safety does reasonable amount of fire drills to check rooms to make sure no alcohol or drugs in dorms
Drug Safety:
We dont have many drug sences at are school. It is rare for us to have a lock down for drugs and alcohol.
Drug Safety:
Drugs and Alcohol – They're very strict about drug use here at TC. Two or three students were kicked out last semester for pot. The school is supposed to be a dry campus but it's a 3 strike system, and I don't know of anyone being kicked out for alcohol.
Drug Safety:
No Pressure – Even though Tusculum is a dry campus, many people ignore the rule and drink alcohol anyways. Many people do not try to persuade anyone else to drink and do not pressure them to drink. The policy enforcement is really good. Most of the parties on campus are broken up and the ones involved are punished by policy.

Good article. I can't resist wanting to see this fight, no matter how washed up one or both of them are. If they present it to JMM as look "you beat Morales and then go on to beat Pac, you can ride off as arguably the best of all 4 of them and only behind Floyd" it's gotta be tempting...more than simply wanting to fight a southpaw in Gesta

What are the odds this could be 24/7 worthy if it happens?
Marquez can really ride into the sunset with this fight, win or lose. Both of them can. If Morales loses, he can say it wasn't his night again, he fought the who seems to be the last person left on his list, maybe get a Maidana (or even Marquez) rematch and/or retire no questions asked.
Marquez if he lost would or could get another match to try and set up a Pacquiao fight (which is dumb, I don't get why he cant seem to just let it go) and/or retire.
In the case of Mayweather/Pacquiao, they're fighting for all the cookies, so if either of them loses. It's Everything they've worked for that can be disparaged. I don't think thats the case between Morales/Marquez. I'd pay to see that!

Amy and Natalie Fuentes' Profile
Hi everyone!
My name is Amy and my sister's name is Natalie. I am a student at Virginia Tech (only one semester left to go). I will be pursuing a career in business and thus etsy is the perfect kind of experience for me! My sister is 3 years older than me. She has a degree in music education and works as a high school band director.
Together we make handmade gel candles. All of our creations are a combined team effort. (I run our etsy account myself). We recently sought out to pursue new hobbies that we had always dreamed of trying. The conclusion we reached was that we've always wanted to learn to make candles, specifically gel candles.
The result is that we have made so many candles we don't have room to keep all of them! We love all of our unique creations and we hope to find…

If you're not familiar with LEGO Friends, it's a line of construction sets geared primarily toward girls that focuses on traditional girls' play patterns in addition to building. The LEGO Friends Heartlake Juice Bar is a 277-piece set that allows kids to build a healthy juice cafe and have some imaginative fun. It comes with two mini-doll figures (Andrea and Naya), glass windows, a counter with blenders, a juice squeezer, sink, cash register, table, stools, and other accessories. There are fruits and vegetables, flowers, a handbag, and money. After kids build their juice bar, they can engage in pretend play, helping Andrea and Naya check out the menu, make delicious smoothies, hang out in the outdoor seating area, or anything else they can imagine.
The Heartlake Juice Bar has so many great details and will engage girls in lots of imaginative play. This is a fun LEGO Friends set with a lot of bricks, but for even more building options, you can combine this with other LEGO sets.
Heartlake Juice Bar is recommended for kids, ages 6-12.
The building instructions were very easy to follow.

Reviews for Friends Of The Palo Alto Public Library
In 2013 FOPAL is going to be celebrating 75 years of supporting the Palo Alto Community Libraries. With non-profit status for 30+ years this amazing organization is the best example of book recycling in the peninsula. FOPAL receives and process 40 thousand donated books, holds a book sale the every 2nd weekend and generates approximately $20,000- in sales each month. The majority of this money goes directly to the Palo Alto Community Libraries, the annual donation is over $200,000- FOPAL is a great place to volunteer, while getting a first look at all the great books. My experience is that the volunteers here are smart, passionate and involved. The Friday lunch before the monthly sale is a great indication of the groups commitment. 40+ volunteers show up to help get the sales rooms in tip top shape, do an inventory of each book and enjoy a yummy lunch with lively conversation. Big FUN!

customer reviews for large windows
"Great value for money!"
By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!View this product
"Great blinds!"

I bought these to replace ones I got at Lowe's. No comparison. Yours are better made, look better and fit better. I would recommend them to anyone!View this product

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/15/12 -- Message Bus, pioneer of cloud-based infrastructure for email, mobile and social messaging, will showcase its Global Delivery Network and Discover cloud infrastructure services at the Cloud & Infrastructure Edition of SF Beta taking place tonight at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco from 6 to 9 p.m. PT.
SF Beta is San Francisco's premier startup mixer attended by leading founders, hackers, investors, designers, media, and others. Tonight's event is on two of the hottest topics in tech: Cloud & Infrastructure. It will focus on the future of the web and the backbone that powers it -- a theme that is on everyone's mind.
Message Bus' Global Delivery Network is a software service for enterprises, email service providers (ESPs), and application developers requiring the ability to effectively send and deliver millions to billions of email, mobile, and social messages per month. It officially launched last week following a successful 10 month beta program with 35 design partners including American Greetings, MyFitnessPal, and Telly. Message Bus' Discover is a free service that identifies entities that abuse a brand's digital reputation by sending unauthorized email communications.
"Sending multi-channel communications is a challenge as message types proliferate, requiring the need for infrastructure and expertise to ensure deliverability. On top of the complexity of sending email and other messages, identifying, mitigating and preventing messaging abuse is critical for organizations of all sizes," said Ken Cheney, President of Message Bus. "Preventing brand degradation has benefits that travel and reverberate through the entire messaging ecosystem. At the end of the day, every successful business struggles scaling to meet growing messaging demands and protecting their customers' inboxes."
Other companies showcasing their products tonight include Axcient, cisimple, Decisions on Demand, MediaFunnel, MongoDirector, NinjaMyApp, SocialPOV, Webpop, and WP Engine.
For more on SF Beta, go to: http://sfbeta.eventbrite.com.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

The ability to turn your IoT service into profit requires the ability to create a monetization strategy that is flexible, scalable and working for you in real-time. It must be a transparent, smoothly implemented strategy that all stakeholders – from customers to the board – will be able to understand and comprehe...

For basic one-to-one voice or video calling solutions, WebRTC has proven to be a very powerful technology. Although WebRTC's core functionality is to provide secure, real-time p2p media streaming, leveraging native platform features and server-side components brings up new communication capabilities for web and native mobile applications, allowing for advanced multi-user use cases such as video broadcasting, conferencing, and media recording.

Hazel Brook Conservation Area (48.4 acres) rewards your senses almost immediately by the sound of the rushing waters of Hazel Brook, soon followed by the sight of a beautiful pond.
Don't stop there, for a moderately easy hike uphill through the quiet woods leads you to a network of more than 65 miles of trails through Weston Town Forest and other public land. A figure-eight route through the property takes about one hour, plus any additional time you choose to devote to Weston town trails beyond.

Michael Newton photographed several insects during a pollinator survey at SVT's Greenways Conservation Area in Wayland. SVT has been working to improve habitat for the insects as part of our Places for Pollinators project. The goal of this project is to increase the abundance of quality foraging plants and bee-nesting habitat for pollinators, such as Monarch butterflies and native bees. The focus of this work has been along the Sudbury River, a major migratory corridor. At Greenways, this is a piece of an ongoing effort to restore native habitat at the property's north field.
Join us at Wolbach Farm in Sudbury for one of our Pollinator Parties on Saturday, July 16, 2016, to learn about the causes of the sharp decline in pollinators and what can be done in your own back yard to help. Register for the morning session or the afternoon session and enjoy a trail walk at Wolbach to discover plants beloved by butterflies and bees, visit the new pollinator garden beds, help construct a bee hotel, and enjoy refreshments that depend on the hard work of pollinators. There will also be activities that children will enjoy.

LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION RATE (% of population working or looking to work)
EMPLOYMENT–POPULATION RATIO (% of population working)
UNEMPLOYMENT–POPULATION RATIO (% of population out of work but looking for work)
▼ Down 1.4
▲ Up 0.9
▼ Down 2.3
Unemployment peaked in October 2009 and has been dropping ever since. Typically, when the unemployment rate goes down, it is because more people find jobs. In this recession, however, employment rates have been flat. While this is partly due to the retirement of baby boomers, even among prime age workers, employment increases account for only about 40 percent of the drop in unemployment. The rest—60 percent— is due to the high number of people who have left the labor force and stopped looking for work. The charts below show changes in employment status since 2009 for 25-to-54-year-olds.

Product Description
Additional Features
Also highly notable are the featurettes "Stories of Sunset Boulevard" and "Sunset Boulevard Becomes a Classic," because of their mixture of interviews with actors (Nancy Olson as "Betty Schaefer"), critics (Andrew Sarris), and Wilders biographer, Ed Sikov. "Stories" opens with the facts surrounding the films original opening and its cut script, namely the morgue scene in which the corpses speak to each other. It then proceeds to describe how the opening scene we know and love, namely Joe Gillis floating face down in the swimming pool, was made before waterproof cameras were the norm. Ed Sikovs commentary during the screening of the film, as well, is rich with details about Wilders directorial efforts. These insider notes and educational feauturettes inspire one to consider just how much consciously planned construction goes into a film that screens as a flawless story. --Trinie Dalton

Orangevilles thriving downtown core has extended a cordial invitation to a special shopping party to help bid spring a warm welcome.
Spring is on the way for Orangeville and that means the sap is running in the sugar maple trees and it is time to enjoy a freshly made taste treat.

Hahaha, how do you guys get offended by some kid with "Naruto" in their userID. I mean really, think about the kind of guy who would use "Naruto" in their ID. Once you have an accurate visual, proceed to laugh and move onto another thread.
I use shotguns for the same reason I use every other class of guns. I don't like using the same gun type every game. Has nothing to do with skill...just keeps the game fresh.
Now I finally understand why people use ShotgunsIt's because they can't win real gunfights, so they use cheap shotguns in order to get killsThe funny part is that they still all do horrible in the end, but they get 8 kills they wouldn't have if they didn't use Shotguns
Shotguns are cheap? Lol. Let this guy think that. He'll continue to get mad when he gets owned by them over and over... Posting your k/d results in a match.. how foolish and pretentious.They take skill, and not everybody has what it takes to use them properly. They are respectable and have their advantages as well as their disadvantages. Are snipers cheap because you can kill people easy from extremely long distances? Well then shotguns are not cheap because they are great for short range.

Bribes and local fiscal autonomy in Russia
Russian industrial enterprises inherited from the Soviet era a tradition of producing welfare and infrastructure services within the firm, also for outside users. Despite the massive restructuring of the economy that took place since, many firms are still active in service provision. At the same time, opaque fiscal federalism is a problem for municipalities whereas rent extraction by public sector officials is a problem for firms. In this paper we examine whether there is a link between these phenomena. We propose a model on local fiscal incentives, service provision by firms and the municipality-firm relationship in the form of bribes. Using survey data from 404 medium and large industrial enterprises in 40 regions of Russia, we find that the higher the share of own revenues in the local budget, the more likely the firms are to report bribes. In the case of infrastructure services, the data also support the hypothesis that the channel is through service provision: the less fiscal autonomy, the more service provision and the less likely the firms are to report bribes.

'Twas the Night Before Henrico's Christmas
(Written by Henrico County Public Relations & Media Services Director Tamra McKinney and presented by County Manager Virgil Hazelett (a.k.a. Santa Claus, pictured) during the Henrico Business Holiday Breakfast Dec. 8.)
'Twas the night before Christmas, a quarter past eight;
The traffic in Short Pump was making me late.
Cars filled with presents were leaving the mall,
As if there had been no recession at all.
Of course I knew better, it had been a tough year;
What the future would bring still wasn't quite clear.
Had we hit the bottom? Were we on the mend?
Had we finally started an upward trend?
I had far more questions than answers this night,
And the longer I sat at that traffic light,
The more I questioned the economy's health,
With rising foreclosures and dwindling wealth.
By the time I got home, I was depressed.
My mind was in turmoil, my body was stressed.
These past three years had been hard to take,
And our business community needed a break.
I pulled in the driveway and turned off the car,
And I noticed the front door was slightly ajar.
I ran into the house, and what did I see?
Santa Claus sitting there waiting for me.
"Merry Christmas, Virgil" he said with a smile,
"We need to sit down and talk for a while.
Don't let this recession give you the blues;
Focus instead on Henrico's good news.
Sales taxes are up, hotel taxes are too,
Unemployment is down in Henrico, it's true.
Innsbrook's mixed-use will be great when it's done,
Plus the recent expansion of Capitol One.
Wellaware Systems will relocate here,
And Elephant Auto's expanding this year.
Zeller and Gmelin's move to Audubon Drive,
And Smurfit-Stone's new plant kept more jobs alive.
Snag-a-job's expanding and adding more staff,
All of this should give you reason to laugh!
This year's been a struggle from coast to coast,
But Henrico's still far better off than most."
The thing about Santa, he tends to be right,
And I had new perspective on Henrico's plight.
Yes the past three years had been really rough,
But the tough get going when the going gets tough.
Our business community will persevere,
When the economic forecast is still unclear.
We'll stick to our plan and stay on the track
Until we're out of the red and back in the black.
So as we balance our budgets and cut every cost,
Let's not allow the good news to get lost.
It's easy to focus on things that go wrong
And forget who we are and what makes us strong.
We are Henrico, and as Santa would say,
"You can't go wrong with the Henrico way."
We've gotten this far and we'll get through the rest;
That's what makes Henrico's businesses the best.
As you leave here today, keep Santa alive
In your hearts and your minds, and together we'll thrive.
May your holidays be filled with magic and cheer;
Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year!

This will be at the same location as the iBooks Author Conference (the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center), but the day after, as we believe this event will be of natural interest (like the Hype Conference) to iBooks Author content creators.
The Two Dans (of Red Jumper, the company behind Book Creator) will kick things off with a video message. We're pleased to have their support in bringing to life this special event and hosting it here in the United States.
The Book Creator Conference is $149 to attend, or free for those who register for the iBooks Author Conference on or before May 31. Thanks for Anthony DiLaura hosting this group, as always, and allowing promotional posts like this as well which most members of this group will likely find of interest.
When I asked students who helped us, "What was your favorite part of the day", Sebi (student) said, "I loved learning today. I didn't want the day to end."
As a teacher, how do you NOT walk a little taller after that. Rosa and I were so moved with today's gifts!
Coaches and Storytellers -- you make the world a better place for the kids. Don't forget that. My lessons learned today were: (1) include the kids in your problem solving journey! They will be better because of it! (2) Help your teachers problem solve with kids. Also, (3) it's not about technology and how it can "fit" into my lessons, but, how can we enhance the learning/ assignments/ projects with technology.
To add, Mr. Meade (Social Studies) said, "we have to use EVERY OPPORTUNITY possible to help kids have more tools to be successful." This quote reminded me that, for teachers, technology is an opportunity to provide those options for our kids. Our fears can reduce those options if we make it about the teacher first. Thanks, Mr Meade, for the reminder as to why this is the right thing to do.
Team leaders: +Kayla Canario, +Michael Weininger, +Angie Manis-- it was a REMARKABLE day! Thanks for everything you did to make today a priority. These images were some of my favorite moments.
Thank you, kids, for being Amazing!
Your cheerleader.
Shout out to +Kasey Bell who has created an easy to follow video to help with this.
Will also allocate some time during orientation if needed... let me know.

Religion & Stem Cells
After agonizing over the decision for months, President Bush finally committed to limited federal funding for stem-cell research - a compromise that left hardliners on both sides of the issue unsatisfied. However, despite vociferous opposition from the Christian right, many religious leaders have been able to reconcile their feelings about the preservation of life and the need for life-saving research. NPR's Duncan Moon reports.
