Short History of the Ismailis by Farhad Daftary
Book DescriptionDespite being one of the key Shi'i Muslim communities, the Ismailis were until recently studied primarily on the basis of the accounts of their enemies. This new introduction is the first to be based on modern scholarship, taking account of recently recovered Ismaili texts. It covers all the main developments in the major phases of Ismaili history, from the early formative period, through the Fatamid golden age and the Alamut and post-Alamut periods, to more recent history. Dealing only with the most important historical developments, this is a comprehensive and accessible survey for all newcomers to the subject.

History of Shi'i Islam, Hardback (December 2013)

Institutions and Trade PolicyBy: J. Michael Finger (editor)Hardback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionThis book reprints 18 essays selected from almost 30 years of work by the author as a high level official at the UN Conference on Trade and Development, the US Treasury Department and the World Bank. These essays report some of the core analytical thinking behind positions taken by these agencies on major issues in international trade policy: e.g. the shift of view on "trade and development" from the presumption that developing countries should receive "special and differential treatment" to today's view that they should aggressively exploit opportunities that international trade offers. Other essays report analytical work at the US Treasury Department on proposals in the 1970s for a "New International Economic Order" - findings that supported the more conservative line that the US government eventually took, even though the Kissinger State Department urged a more accommodating line. Some essays are highly critical, e.g. of antidumping and its use by developing countries as well as by the United States, of the GATT/WTO system itself as a template for economic policy. Scholars and students interested in how the GATT/WTO works as a policy making system should find this collection revealing as should readers interested in a way to evaluate the impact of antidumping (and other "trade remedies") on the national economic system and on how to construct policy mechanisms that more effectively bring the interests of all US citizens into the making of US trade policy. In addition, many of these essays are useful for courses in international economics, international relations and policy science.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
"We finished studying for the student's final. I think he will do just fine on it. We are set to begin the last week of August for next year, in which he will do Precalculus."
"Conic Sections. The student can use help getting started and knowing what a math question is asking specifically. I left her with extra practice as well as my notes from examples and solved exercises."
"We worked on studying for his pre-calculus final exam. We reviewed a lot of the earlier chapters/topics. He felt confident."
"We went through matrix addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division for the student's upcoming quiz. We also covered determinants of matrices. I showed him a simple trick to help with matrix multiplication. Everything seems to click with him and he seems to understand the material."
"In today's session, we finished sections 3 and 4 from unit 2 and also got partway through section 5. The student needs to get this entire unit done by next week, so we are going to keep working on it in the next few sessions."
"We went over the student's entire review guide. He knew how to do most of the types of problems that he was given. I think he should focus his studying time on trying to remember the trig functions of well known angles and other pertinent information that he will not be given for the test. He knew how to do the problems."

Squantz Pond Trail is a 3.3 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near New Fairfield, Connecticut that features a lake and is rated as difficult. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round.
fly fishing
nature trips
wild flowers
Squantz Pond immerses the visitor in a "mountain like" setting. Extremely popular; closes early on summer days. Squantz Pond immerses the visitor in a "mountain like" setting. Steep, wooded slopes disappear into the cool, blue pond below. In the fall, the park becomes a haven for photographers capturing the colorful reflection of the foliage in the mirrored surface of the water. In 1926 Squantz Pond was established as a state park.
I hiked it earlier today, 1/22/17. First time there and really enjoyed it. It was a nice little challenging loop up the hill. And then I really like the little loop down along the shore. And all the rock formations are sweet. And the Brooks are flowing nice and strong so I had the noise from the water rushing. All in all very nice day. Oh, I also saw a bunch of Redtail Hawks and two bald eagles. I'll be back when I gets warmer to drop my canoe in the water.
Awesome, challenging, and few people (depending on where you go). I typically head to the east side of the pond, and then head north on the trail that follows right along the water--seems to be used by fishermen. The trail itself is not extremely challenging, but if you head farther east and up the mountain it gets STEEP!
Loved it
Freezing cold!!
My kids and I enjoyed a great afternoon lounging on the beach at squantz pond so we decided we needed some exercise before we called it a day. I thought we were going along the main trail but we ended up on very narrow and overgrown paths along the lake. It was gorgeous and fun to explore but this is not a trail for young kids. Next time I'll look harder for the main trail.
One of my favorite local trails. There is a trail that runs along the side of the pond, as well as one that is a but further up on the fire trail. Both of these trails eventually make it to the top of the mountain for a beautiful view of pond/lake and surrounding areas. On a clear day you can see quite far at the lookout.
In addition to the earlier review, you can find Fool's Gold in the stream that comes down from the hill on the far side of the beaches. We used to come here all the time as kids. It can get kind of crowded on hot weekends in the summer with people coming from out of state to cool down.
Nichole R.
This was one of the first hikes I took with my mom and mom's boyfriend when I first went to school @ wcsu. Decided it would be the perfect opportunity to explore the area. Its a bit confusing to find when you first go, but can find the times afterwards. Take the main trail up, which is somewhat hilly, grassy but offers nice scenic views of the surrounding areas in southwestern ct. Take a picture here! As you explore the park, you can take in nature and take pictures along the way. At the end of the hike, take a seat by the pond and just take a look over the water, take a break to eat a snack. Take a picture here; it is scenic. Overall, this park can be completed by anyone, is one of the cleanest ones I've been to. Take a peak for yourself; you won't be disappointed!

I'm looking 4 someone who won't pretend. Somebody not afraid to say the way they feel. Somebody who can be there when I need someone 2 talk 2. I'm looking for someone who understand how I feel, someone who can keep it real. And I'm looking for someone who takes me there, wants to share, shows he cares. Someone who I can run to, who will stay with me when it rains. Someone who I can trust-who's heart is right. I'm looking for someone who takes me there, wants to share -shows me he cares. Someone who won't take for granted how much I care and appreciates that I'm there, someone who listens and someone who isn't agraid of thoughts to share. Is this you? Could you be the one for me? Maybe you are the one I'm looking for....

The algorithm selection problem is concerned with selecting the best algorithm to solve a given problem instance on a case-bycase basis. It has become especially relevant in the last decade, with researchers increasingly investigating how to identify the most suitable existing algorithm for solving a problem instance instead of developing new algorithms. This survey presents an overview of this work focusing on the contributions made in the area of combinatorial search problems, where algorithm selection techniques have achieved significant performance improvements. We unify and organise the vast literature according to criteria that determine algorithm selection systems in practice. The comprehensive classification of approaches identifies and analyzes the different directions from which algorithm selection has been approached. This article contrasts and compares different methods for solving the problem as well as ways of using these solutions. Copyright © 2014, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.

Determining the degree of trust between principals across a trust network (TN) is, in turn, programmed as a (semiring-based) soft-constraint satisfaction problem. In this paper, we consider the use of semiring-based metrics in reasoning about trust between coalition-forming principals. The configurable nature of multitrust makes it well-suited to modeling trust within coalitions: whether adding more principals to a coalition increases trust or decreases trust is captured by the definition of trust aggregation within the semiring.

Black-box optimization (BBO) problems arise in numerous scientific and engineering applications and are characterized by computationally intensive objective functions, which severely limit the number of evaluations that can be performed. We present a robust set of features that analyze the fitness landscape of BBO problems and show how an algorithm portfolio approach can exploit these general, problem independent, features and outperform the utilization of any single minimization search strategy. We test our methodology on data from the GECCO Workshop on BBO Benchmarking 2012, which contains 21 state-of-the-art solvers run on 24 well-established functions. © 2013 Springer-Verlag. Source

Constraint modelling is widely recognised as a key bottleneck in applying constraint solving to a problem of interest. The Conjure automated constraint modelling system addresses this problem by automatically refining constraint models from problem specifications written in the Essence language. Essence provides familiar mathematical concepts like sets, functions and relations nested to any depth. To date, Conjure has been able to produce a set of alternative model kernels (i.e. without advanced features such as symmetry breaking or implied constraints) for a given specification. The first contribution of this paper is a method by which Conjure can break symmetry in a model as it is introduced by the modelling process. This works at the problem class level, rather than just individual instances, and does not require an expensive detection step after the model has been formulated. This allows Conjure to produce a higher quality set of models. A further limitation of Conjure has been the lack of a mechanism to select among the models it produces. The second contribution of this paper is to present two such mechanisms, allowing effective models to be chosen automatically. © 2013 Springer-Verlag. Source

Stochastic inventory control in multi-echelon systems poses hard problems in optimisation under uncertainty. Stochastic programming can solve small instances optimally, and approximately solve larger instances via scenario reduction techniques, but it cannot handle arbitrary nonlinear constraints or other non-standard features. Simulation optimisation is an alternative approach that has recently been applied to such problems, using policies that require only a few decision variables to be determined. However, to find optimal or near-optimal solutions we must consider exponentially large scenario trees with a corresponding number of decision variables. We propose instead a neuroevolutionary approach: using an artificial neural network to compactly represent the scenario tree, and training the network by a simulation-based evolutionary algorithm. We show experimentally that this method can quickly find high-quality plans using networks of a very simple form. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC. Source

The food was good and the service was great. The restaurant is warm and cosy. We sat upstairs, which was lovely. I´d recommend this restaurant without a doubt.
Small intimate restaurant. Friendly staff. The chicken pastela was sensational - the best dish I had in a five week holiday in Spain.
We went there for supper and were attended by Oscar the the owner. The ambience was greatly relaxed and the music was excellent. The food was excellent and the prices really low. The owner was very interactive with us and we thoroughly enjoyed his company!
My favourite meal in all of Europe. Some English spoken.
The Zaaluk and Pastela was really good.
Atmosphere is quaint and homely.
Had both lunch and dinner in this small friendly place right on the Main Street up
To the old town. Our host, server, and bar tender was very gracious and accommodating. It can be hard to find a calm setting and this offers a refreshing change from typical Spanish and tourist food.
Everything we ordered was so good that we ate every last bite, even though we were stuffed. Our waiter (one of the owners) was warm and friendly, and a good portion of the menu was vegan. We'll definitely return next time were in Spain.
This small restaurant serves Arabic style dishes, many of which are meant to share by all around the dinner table. Good, honest food in an enjoyable atmosphere with friendly staff. Recommended.
I had never had Moroccan food prior to this experience, and was skeptical since I am a picky eater. However, my traveling companions wanted to eat here, so I joined. Let me tell you, I am a huge fan! I had no other Moroccan food to compare it to, but this food was DELICIOUS. I could not stop eating...the rice,...
Four of us showed up on a Saturday evening and it was very busy.
The kind gentlemen made sure we had a seat and took our order thoroughly..
The food came out promptly and it was very nice and fresh.
Once our meals were finished we were give a refreshing shot drink which was lovely!
Reasonably priced too! ☺
Thoroughly enjoyed a superb meal here. Great, non intrusive but friendly service. Food was excellent. Rounded off with a complementary liqueur. Will return if we visit here again. Gracias. Highly recommended.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Clean room and helpful staff. Apparently there are some long term residents who live at the motel and there were some kids hanging out unsupervised making noise and messes in lobby area.
I liked that it was conveniently off the highway The bathroom need fixing. They are not property maintained. The rooms look dirty and smell. The bed was supposed to be a Queen size but it looked like a Full size. The bed was very uncomfortable and the sheets didnt look clean. The room didnt have extra pillows or an iron. The only good thing about the room was the big flat screen TV and the AC. The hotel needs a lot of maintenance and TLC. The hallways smelled. There is a pool but it was closed. In speaking to one of the housekeepers, we were told the pool is closed because its too much money to maintain it. I feel that it was too expensive for the quality of the place. I will not be staying here again. I rather pay an extra $20 and stay in a better place.
Tia at the front desk was very nice. Other than that nothing came close to being acceptable. The room was filthy with pieces of paper bags and dirt on the floor. The room was not cleaned the first night and we had to go get towels for the morning from the front desk. We came back to the room about midnight. The second night the room was supposedly cleaned however the paper garbage was still on the floor and the sheets were not changed. I know this because there was a very obvious stain on the bedsheet right below where you put your pillow. The room had no box of tissues and the only amenities were two travel soaps. When I asked the desk about the room cleaning the man said it was done and all the towels and bath matts were there. He lied straight out. While I was in the office another man came in and said he was disgusted and wanted to leave despite his reservation for 4 nights. Then another couple came in complaining. It was almost a comedy. The hotel refused to give anyone back any money and the owner/manager was outright nasty. The place was out of date, the towels we did see were threadbare, the mattress springs squeaked and poked, and the shower head was sticking out of a hole in the wall. The pool still had the cover on and it was mid June. This site is not owned by Motel 6 but does use its name. It is making a very bad name for Motel 6.
Lower cost A few hours into my sleep around 11 pm very loud noises were heard. This was apparently a family going in and out of the room opposite to me with a small kid. This continues for a good 5 to 10 min.
Cheap and convenient, but the saying goes that you get what you pay for. Well, we didn't even get that. I have paid the same or less at other hotels, and gotten more out of it then here. Flat pillows, no shampoo or conditioner, a single bath towel, even despite the booking showing two adults. The pros, as few as they are, is the room rate was cheap, compared to others in the area, and location was convenient, right off the highway, and as a bonus, across from a Dunkins, for breakfast and coffee.
The bed and room itself were comfortable. There was a (quiet-running) refrigerator and microwave in the room (1 king bed), as well as a couch. It was located right off the interstate, but was surrounded by tall trees, so it felt much more out-of-the-way. There were a couple pizza places in the area that catered to gluten-free diets, which was great for us. 1) There was a huge cell phone tower right outside the hotel. 2) We had a non-smoking room; however, when we walked into the room, there was a slight stale-smoke smell in the room and bathroom. It wasn't terribly offensive, so we just opened the window for a little bit. The next morning, however, our bathroom reeked terribly of cigarette smoke, like it was coming in a vent somewhere. It was really offensive, and we had to try to keep the bathroom door closed every second that we weren't in there, and did everything we could outside of the bathroom. When I mentioned it to the receptionist on check-out, she said not to worry about being charged for it, as the smoking rooms were right under ours and the smoke came up through the vent. Isn't the reason to have a non-smoking room so that you are away from the smoke?? 3) The iron needed to be cleaned, as it left spots on my husband's dress shirt. Thankfully it was on the sleeve, where it would be covered up by his sports coat.
Quick and easy check in. Cleaning staff was great. Room was clean. Continental breakfast wasn't the greatest.
Nothing Was told that reservation was invalid and that they had intimated to booking buddy that no room was available. Then were told that there was a room available but without a microwave or even a refrigerator. Had to fight for a room with a refrigerator.
The room smells terrible bad. I have to wakeup early so I can check out the hotel asap. The room is too small with minimum stuffs. Bad experience. Never come back.
It was close enough to affordably Uber to Providence. The staff wasn't very nice or accommodating. The outside of the Rumford Motor Inn is poorly lit and looks dingy. Once receiving our key and TV remote from the front desk, we made our way to the room. The hallway smelled of smoke and there were stains all over the carpet and walls. Once in the room, the bathroom had pieces of the ceiling that were shedding onto the surfaced and the toilet paper roll had been dropped into some sort of liquid. The bathroom fan made an awful rusty fan noise as well. The bed was terrifying. If we had any other options of places to stay, I wouldn't have even chanced it. The bed, including the mattress, was covered in yellow and brown stains and had burn holes in the blankets. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Nothing. I wish I had asked to see the room before accepting to stay. I would have not stayed there. When I arrived there was note to call a phone # if I wanted to check in. A man came in with a hoodie pulled up on his head, unzipped with no shirt on. Gross. Then he tried to charge me more than I booked for online. I went to the room & it smelled bad. I called to ask for a non smoking room. He said they were all non smoking rooms but he couldn't prevent people from smoking in the rooms. The faucet at the sink at spot on it as if someone had been brushing their teeth. The sink had build up where the bar of soap had been removed but not cleaned off. When I turned on the tv I couldn't change the channels with the remote & called for new batteries. He came down with batteries. Firest he moved the box on top of the tv cabinet & the remote worked. He said to aim the remote higher. I asked him to put in the new batteries in since he had them with him. He refused. DO NOT STAY HERE!
Beds were comfortable and location was great. However, they did not have a blanket on the bed just a sheet and a dirty bed spread that most people take off the bed in a motel when sleeping. The toilet had to be flushed by taking off the tank cover and pulling cord. Airconditioner kind off worked.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Staff was great. Made unappreciated effort to get the roo o m ready for us as we had a wedding in the area. Check in time in confirmation was 12, but 2 pm at location. Main lobby was dingy and smelled.
Clean, neat, what was needed. Wifi was not strong.
Location Bathroom fixtures
The location Too much hot water in shower, no way to get temperate maintainence could not helpRoom was not made up when we returned

This is pretty funny. Id say u have a nice flash skill. I LOL'd mostly at the :D face ash made then he dropped the box lmao
Didn't liek it
Seems like the animation was sub-par, the concept was good though. Way too corny and G-rated for my tastes, but still lolable.
I think it's great that you can put so much effort into an animation but it's really just wasted if the joke isn't funny. It was painfully predictable and I almost didn't want to bother watching to the end. The animation itself was good though and I thought the squirtles were hella cute :3 Keep it up!
Not bad , in fact liked it :)
Kinda saw the end coming. Great use of the shoop sound effect lol

Haunted Canoe Trip – Frights Night Event . Showings Each Hour from 6-10pm. Book Now!!!
17055 Smithville Hwy
Silver Point, TN 38582
Setting the stage for this chilling adventure, your tour will begin with a trolley ride to the old cemetery where you'll hear the true and disturbing accounts of a flooded town, lost graves, ghostly visits, unexplained voices, and sounds. You will then take a short walk to the old dock where, along the way, you will hear other accounts of ghostly hauntings as your walk through the old military recreation base.
Once you arrive at the dock, you will board your boat and paddle over the original location to the old 1800?s sunken cemetery that is just a mere 15 feet below the water's surface. This is where many believe the lost graves still remain and local lore tells stories of spirits trapped just beneath the dark waters of Cemetery Cove.
Are you brave enough to paddle these waters as your tour takes you deep into the Cove? It's frightening, it's unbelievably dark, and….it's real! Join us — if you dare.
Reservations must be made in advance!
**Participants must be able to walk short distances and operate a canoe by paddling**
**Trip times vary depending on paranormal activity. Trips average between an hour-and-a-half to two hours not counting the trolley transportation and loading in and out of canoe **

Drinking red wine can make you live longer?
Drinking red wine could apparently hold the key to a longer life...
Everyone knows the old wives tale that drinking red wine comes doctor recommended, but now it seems as if the health benefits of red wine have been scientifically proven - and it can apparently make you live longer!
New research shows bees decrease their food intake when given compound found in red wine - by triggering a "moderation effect" - and it increases their lifespan 33 to 38 percent.
Brenda Rascón, from the School of Life Sciences and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, explained that they tested the effects of resveratol (found in red wine) on honey bees:
"For the first time, we conducted several tests on the effects of resveratrol by using the honey bee as a model... We were able to confirm that under normal living conditions, resveratrol lengthened lifespan in honey bees."
So, basically, it helps us control our hunger cravings AND it makes us live longer. Which means that we can TOTALLY justify a glass or two of red wine with our dinner. Or on a night out - in moderation, of course.
Who needs to diet when you can enjoy a glass of vino, right?
There we have it! Dieting doesn't have to be boring, thanks to the wonderful elixir that is red wine. Do you believe the research and, if so, will you be putting it into practise later tonight? Let us know below or tweet us at @CosmopolitanUK

Neanderthal Gene-Flow 28
Summary of Results Carbon Dating and mtDNA analysis confirms Ust'-Ishim femur to be ~45000 BP More closely related to Eurasians Ust'-Ishim belonged to a population at same time or close in time of divergence between West and East Eurasians Determination of mutation rate that is consistent across all non-African genomes Ust'-Ishim does not predate Neanderthal admixture 29
Carbon Dating continued Ratio can determine age Biosphere has fluctuated : example use of coal diluted the 14 carbon pool in the late 1800s Cities have different ranges Nuclear war How is this accounted for? Best way is to have a carbon record for the atmoshpere frpom the time period—use of tree rings and fossils (good to 13,900 years) other fossils (marine) have been used to date back to 50K. (although not atmospheric there is a correlation delay between marine and atmoshperic that can estimate atmospheric levels Anyway-build a calibration curve that more accurately describes our data. Oxcal software makes these graphs: 30
