I'd stay away from the Marcarini Barolos. GdP has them mostly on the downslope.

Trash illegally thrown on the ground has a significant, negative impact on Austin. Litter pollutes our natural and recreational areas, and the cleanup needed is expensive for taxpayers!
Each year, City staff and volunteers pull 250 tons of trash from Lady Bird Lake (in addition to the 6,500 tons removed annually from Austin streets). Some of these discarded items were dropped directly into the river, but most trash washes in from creeks or through storm drains from land-based areas, such as streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and parks.

What are 'enterprise assets'? They are all the resources and activities
that make it possible to set up and run a business. They include not just
tangible assets – capital, buildings, equipment, vehicles, and so on – but also
what are called 'intangible assets': the business' brand identity and
processes, and the know-how of those who run it. The job of managers is to
manage all of these enterprise assets – not just the material resources – so
that the business can deliver sustainable and growing profits to its
When the supply and demand in the enterprise starts to unravel, typically from the demand perspective, managers pull out the only tool they know - "cost cutting" ! In the current state of world economic affairs we see it everywhere.
Business school students hate the portions of Operations Research they encounter during their studies, but it contains a hidden gem - "Optimization".
From a managerial perspective optimization is the approach one follows to get more out of less -but without resorting to cost cutting - i.e. staff retrenchments.
So it is a clever way of moving resources around until an optimal configuration is achieved. We typically see 10% improvements, but the figure below is one we frequently encounter - 90% improvements. And this is without any losses in people or expensive restructuring exercises.
Using a "business Controller" we predicted and optimised the stock levels in this company and as a result, reduced the average stock holding by 90%! The return on this investment was less than 6 months !

Now streaming Notes on Blindness and you are on MovieReam
Please wait for 3 seconds while MovieReam loads Notes on Blindness stream.

Notes on Blindness is an insight into the life of John Hull, an academic who, as he descended into the darkness of total blindness, began to record his thoughts and feelings on the process.
These very recordings are lip-synced by the actors and they, along with a unique visual style, attempt to recreate John's perspective on his experience. Obviously this is not a slapstick comedy but the end-product is moving and it's taught me a lot about blindness that I'd never considered. He has a slightly different take on going blind to some others so it's always going to be a personal and subjective viewpoint. Magnificent bit of film-making and the thought that this is the Director's first feature is hard to credit. Give it a best documentary Oscar now.

Salem Mennonite Church (General Conference Mennonite Church), now extinct, member of the Northern District Conference, in Butterfield, Watonwan County, Minnesota, was organized in 1896 under the sponsorship of the Bethel Church of Mountain Lake, a neighboring town. A church building was erected that same year. In 1915 the Menno Simons congregation in Butterfield, of Swiss origin, merged with the Salem Church. In a few years friction developed between the two groups which caused the Swiss members to leave Salem in 1921 and build a new church in 1922, known today as the Mennonite Church of Butterfield. The "Gemeinde-Chronik" of Salem has no membership list, but an aged former member reports that it never had more than 50 members. The separation of the two groups left the Salem congregation in a weakened position. On 2 October 1926, the congregation decided to sell the church and dispose of all church property. The last entry in the official record is made 16 July 1934, when the Salem Church organization was formally dissolved. A few of its former members had died, some moved away, and others joined neighboring congregations.

In short he is hardly afraid to stick his neck out on issues that matter. There were ample politic ways to dance on all these issues. He does not uses them This is good to see.
If he ends up gathering the responsibility likely to fall his way he could well be a most influential VP. It is an issue of trust. This is a man that many of the difficult files can be handed to easily. They will not necessarily be resolved on the basis of what is politically expedient.
Very good news..
Mike Pence Has Led a Crusade Against Abortion Access and LGBT Rights
The Indiana governor is reportedly Trump's VP pick.
A father of three, Pence worked as an attorney in private practice and had two unsuccessful bids for the House of Representatives before winning the seat in 2000 and serving for 12 years. He was elected governor in 2012. He also has media experience: In the 1990s, he hosted The Mike Pence Show, a talk radio show, and described himself as "Rush Limbaugh on decaf."
In Congress, Pence was a champion of conservative and religious causes. He voted against measures aimed at preventing LGBT discrimination and helping families in poverty, and he supported federal legislation prohibiting same-sex marriage. As governor of Indiana, Pence has brought this Religious Right-friendly agenda to the state and enacted a number of stringent socially conservative measures.
Here's a summary of his conservative record:
He is not a fan of LGBT rights: In 2003, Pence, then representing the sixth congressional district of Indiana, co-sponsored an amendment that would have prohibited same-sex marriage. Four years later, he voted against the Employee Non-Discrimination Act, which aimed to prevent job discrimination based on sexual orientation. While in Congress, he opposed a bill aimed at more effectively prosecuting hate crimes based on sexual orientation and voted against the repeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
He has made life harder for low-income families: Between 2006 and 2009, Pence voted against raising the minimum wage, expanding health coverage for low-income kids, and providing additional funding for Section 8 vouchers, which help low-income families pay rent.
He refused to comply with Obama administration rules aimed at reducing prison rape: In 2014, Gov. Pence wrote to the Department of Justice to argue that the new rules "work only to bind the states, and hinder the evolution of even better and safer practices." He said Indiana would not follow them.
He has supported deporting undocumented children and sick people and favors building a fence on the border (sound familiar?): In 2009, Rep. Pence co-sponsored a bill that would have eliminated automatic citizenship for children born on US soil to undocumented parents. A few years earlier, he voted in favor of bills that would have allowed for the detention of undocumented immigrants seeking hospital treatment. He also voted yes on a bill—foreshadowing Trump's current platform—to build a fence on the Mexico border.
He has decimated access to abortion: In March 2016, Gov. Pence signed a measure prohibiting women from obtaining an abortion because of the race, gender, or disability of the fetus, making Indiana only the second state in the nation to do this. The law also held doctors legally liable for wrongful death if it was found they had performed an abortion motivated by one or more of the prohibited reasons. These sorts of bans are opposed by much of the medical community, out of fear that women will censor themselves when it comes to making difficult decisions with the help of their doctors. Following the Supreme Court's decision in a landmark abortion case in June, a federal judge blocked this Indiana law from going into effect.
He slashed Planned Parenthood funding, spurring clinic closures and an HIV outbreak: In 2011, Pence pushed an amendment through the House to defund Planned Parenthood. This amendment helped kick-start a wave of state actions aimed at removing government support from the women's health provider. Indiana was successful in its efforts, but a federal judge blocked the law from going into effect. When Pence became governor in 2013, Indiana continued to slash resources for the women's health provider. By 2014, state funding for Planned Parenthood had been cut nearly in half from 2005 levels. The organization was forced to close five of its smaller clinics, none of which had ever provided abortions, but they did provide STD testing. Soon, Scott County, Indiana, home to one of the closed clinics, became the hub of an enormous HIV outbreak.
He gave protection to businesses in Indiana that discriminate against gay people: In March 2015, Pence signed a bill into law permitting business owners to refuse service to gay and lesbian customers due to their religious beliefs. The bill also allowed religious beliefs to be used as a rationale for other forms of discrimination. As my colleague Molly Redden described it: "An employer who refused to hire Jewish employees could cite his religious beliefs as a defense against discrimination lawsuits. So could a landlord who refused to rent to Muslims, or a business that refused to serve atheists." In response to this bill's passage, athletes, celebrities, corporate leaders, and others criticized the state publicly, and some even pulled out of planned business projects there. The band Wilco canceled an Indianapolis show, referring to "thinly disguised legal discrimination," and Apple's chief executive, Tim Cook, wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post slamming the law.

Hetherwick Early OriginsThe surname Hetherwick was first found in Angus (Gaelic: Aonghas), part of the Tayside region of northeastern Scotland, and present day Council Area of Angus, formerly known as Forfar or Forfarshire, where they held a family seat in their territories. The Pictish influence on Scottish history diminished after Kenneth Macalpine became King of all Scotland. But those east coast families still played an important role in government and were more accessible to Government than their western highland counterparts. Later they held a family seat at Dunbar in the 15th century.

Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Description | Drake Tyler has the pleasure of auditioning Alex Dupre on the infamous casting couch, and as Drake pulls his clothes off, Alex appears nervous. His nerves melt away has Drake deepthroats his cock, and when Drake, in turn, asks him to do the same, Alex willingly drops to his knees. Gagging himself on Drake's hard cock, Alex cups Drake's ass and pulls him closer, before Drake bends him over and gives him his first hard dick. Alex grips the bedsheets as Drake penetrates him, fucking him from behind as Alex takes it like a pro. Then it's time for the guys to switch, and Alex bends Drake over, plunging his dick deep inside and pounding Drake's ass like an eager beaver, before taking Drake's hot load all over his face. Does he have what it takes to be a Buddy? You decide.

a few weeks ago I participated together with about 200 artists worldwide with artwork in an auction initiated by some pixar artists to save a forest near tokyo, hayao miyazaki's TOTORO forest. not that I care too much about that particular forest, forests in indonesia being used for japanese chopsticks and newspaper or the systematically destroyed amazon jungle are in greater danger. hopefully there will be initiatives as well to save some of our oxygen resources, the endangered forests worldwide, the coral reefs. anyway, I participated for a different reason – TOTORO is one of my favorite films and I am an admirer of miyazaki's work.

He is a committee member of the National Congress for Secure Communities and an advisory board member of IADLEST. He has consulted for Federal Agencies, Homeland Security, Public Safety, Military, and Law Enforcement on technology, security, legally defensible records, compliance, and training.
I recently read an article on the top five regrets of the dying, and it got me thinking.
As law enforcement officers, our mortality is not something that we like to necessarily dwell upon, even as the very nature of our work serves as a continual reminder of it. At best, most of us look to practice sound officer safety tactics, make sure that our life insurance policies are up-to-date, that our families will be provided for and, for the religious among us, that we are "right" with our maker.
But on the whole I have to wonder how many of us will likely find ourselves on the eve of our passing relating to Tolstoy's titular protagonist in "The Death of Ivan Ilyich": More than a little bewildered, frustrated, sad, and perhaps, even panicky.
If it is true that life is a terminal illness and death a sexually transmitted disease, then the job is perhaps as agreeable a distraction as is to be found in the workplace. Adherents of the "love what you do, and do what you love" philosophy would posit that it isn't even work and there are those who validate the claim by exhibiting an uncontested love for it. However, these people constitute the minority within our profession. Most of us are ultimately more beholden to our loved ones than something that requires us to don uniforms to display our fidelities.
Still, there is seemingly a disconnect, at least when it comes to reconciling people's priorities with their habits. When we reflect on what we actually observe throughout the courses of our careers, we see that an inordinate amount of time is spent in devotion to all manner of pursuits, be they vehicular, pedestrian, or extracurricular. We spend days and nights familiarizing ourselves with the histories and sordid habits of people that were it not for some professional interest we would never want to know, let alone associate with. We devote hours to studying this or getting familiar with that—all in the hopes of transferring here or promoting there. Even the less ambitious and driven can find themselves spending long stretches of time deprived of familial comforts due to exotic working hours or mandated overtime. It isn't just the hours involved. It is what happens during those hours, and how the officer experiences them throughout the course of his or her work shift.
All of this exacts a toll, both in the short- and long-term schemes of things. Sleep patterns are disrupted, immunity systems compromised. Law enforcement personnel are rendered vulnerable to all manner of emotional and physical setbacks.
Time spent in any given enterprise is invariably at the expense of another activity and no human being is exempt from this reality. As each of us theoretically recognizes as much, then why don't we do more to ensure that as much of our time is shared with those most important to us as possible?
Then there is the regret of those who had failed to be more honest in their feelings or maintaining friendships. While I have a history of displaying my emotions with an exhibitionist's zeal, I have failed in my ability to retain a majority of my friendships, in part because of those very emotions. And this I do regret.
There are things that I have wondered about such as those occasions when I found myself second-guessing a last second decision not to stop a car near the end of my shift: What might I have missed out on? Invariably, there is no answer to this question.
But I can pose a question to you for which there is a definite answer. How many times do you think I regretted spending time with my family? Zero. Zip. Nada. Even the arguments I have had with my wife are a testimony to our emotional investments in one another.
To be candid, if I am in the position to know my death is imminent, my state of mind will be very much like Ivan's in the Tolstoy story, despite my having long considered my mortality through secular eyes (and perhaps because of it). I will have one thing on him, though. I will not have squandered all manner of family time in pursuit of work.
Will you be able to say as much?

Oxblood Obsessed
A/W15 is on the way and we're coveting Bordeaux hues of all things oxblood, wine, maroon and burgundy. Dark and intense, this hue is not for the faint hearted. Best against, earthy and neutral tones such as grey, navy, black and white. Keep it luxe and team your oxblood palette with textured fabrics of leather, animal skins, feathers and faux fur, and work a bold oxblood lip to add to the drama and nail the look.

In this section we've got the proof of several of the properties we saw in the Integrals Chapter as well as a couple from the Applications of Integrals Chapter.
Proof of : where k is any number.
This is a very simple proof. Suppose that is an anti-derivative of , i.e. . Then by the basic properties of derivatives we also have that,
and so is an anti-derivative of , i.e. . In other words,
Proof of :
This is also a very simple proof Suppose that is an anti-derivative of and that is an anti-derivative of . So we have that and . Basic properties of derivatives also tell us that
and so is an anti-derivative of and is an anti-derivative of . In other words,
From the definition of the definite integral we have,
and we also have,
Remember that we can pull constants out of summations and out of limits.
First we'll prove the formula for "+". From the definition of the definite integral we have,
To prove the formula for "-" we can either redo the above work with a minus sign instead of a plus sign or we can use the fact that we now know this is true with a plus and using the properties proved above as follows.
Proof of : , c is any number.
If we define then from the definition of the definite integral we have,
Proof of : If for then .
Now, by assumption and we also have and so we know that
So, from the basic properties of limits we then have,
But the left side is exactly the definition of the integral and so we have,
Since we have then we know that on and so by Property 8 proved above we know that,
We also know from Property 4 that,
So, we then have,
Give we can use Property 9 on each inequality to write,
Then by Property 7 on the left and right integral to get,
First let's note that we can say the following about the function and the absolute value,
If we now use Property 9 on each inequality we get,
We know that we can factor the minus sign out of the left integral to get,
Finally, recall that if then and of course this works in reverse as well so we then must have,
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part I
If is continuous on [a,b] then,
is continuous on [a,b] and it is differentiable on and that,
Suppose that x and are in . We then have,
Now, using Property 5 of the Integral Properties we can rewrite the first integral and then do a little simplification as follows.
Finally assume that and we get,
Let's now assume that and since we are still assuming that are in we know that is continuous on and so by the Extreme Value Theorem we know that there are numbers c and d in so that is the absolute minimum of in and that is the absolute maximum of in .
So, by Property 10 of the Integral Properties we then know that we have,
Now divide both sides of this by h to get,
and then use (1) to get,
Next, if we can go through the same argument above except we'll be working on to arrive at exactly the same inequality above. In other words, (2) is true provided .
Now, if we take we also have and because both c and d are between x and . This means that we have the following two limits.
The Squeeze Theorem then tells us that,
but the left side of this is exactly the definition of the derivative of and so we get that,
So, we've shown that is differentiable on .
Now, the Theorem at the end of the Definition of the Derivative section tells us that is also continuous on . Finally, if we take or we can go through a similar argument we used to get (3) using one-sided limits to get the same result and so the theorem at the end of the Definition of the Derivative section will also tell us that is continuous at or and so in fact is also continuous on .
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part II
Suppose is a continuous function on [a,b] and also suppose that is any anti-derivative for . Then,
First let and then we know from Part I of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus that and so is an anti-derivative of on [a,b]. Further suppose that is any anti-derivative of on [a,b] that we want to choose. So, this means that we must have,
Then, by Fact 2 in the Mean Value Theorem section we know that and can differ by no more than an additive constant on . In other words for we have,
Now because and are continuous on [a,b], if we take the limit of this as and we can see that this also holds if and .
So, for we know that . Let's use this and the definition of to do the following.
Note that in the last step we used the fact that the variable used in the integral does not matter and so we could change the t's to x's.
Average Function Value
The average value of a function over the interval [a,b] is given by,
We know that the average value of n numbers is simply the sum of all the numbers divided by n so let's start off with that. Let's take the interval [a,b] and divide it into n subintervals each of length,
Now from each of these intervals choose the points and note that it doesn't really matter how we choose each of these numbers as long as they come from the appropriate interval. We can then compute the average of the function values by computing,
Now, from our definition of we can get the following formula for n.
and we can plug this into (4) to get,
Let's now increase n. Doing this will mean that we're taking the average of more and more function values in the interval and so the larger we chose n the better this will approximate the average value of the function.
If we then take the limit as n goes to infinity we should get the average function value. Or,
We can factor the out of the limit as we've done and now the limit of the sum should look familiar as that is the definition of the definite integral. So, putting in definite integral we get the formula that we were after.
The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals
If is a continuous function on [a,b] then there is a number c in [a,b] such that,
Let's start off by defining,
Since is continuous we know from the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part I that is continuous on [a,b], differentiable on (a,b) and that .
Now, from the Mean Value Theorem we know that there is a number c such that and that,
However we know that and,
The work done by the force (assuming that is continuous) over the range is,
Let's start off by dividing the range into n subintervals of width and from each of these intervals choose the points .
Now, if n is large and because is continuous we can assume that won't vary by much over each interval and so in the ith interval we can assume that the force is approximately constant with a value of . The work on each interval is then approximately,
The total work over is then approximately,
Finally, if we take the limit of this as n goes to infinity we'll get the exact work done. So,
This is, however, nothing more than the definition of the definite integral and so the work done by the force over is,

More information: |
"Owens considers Bierce's twenty-two war stories chronologically according to the time of the action of the story. Arranging the pieces in such an order and plotting the locations of their settings yield an accurate chart of Bierce's own progress through the war. Thus, The Devil's Topographer uncovers and explores a crucially important autobiographical context in Bierce's Civil War fiction."
"By bringing under careful scrutiny the biography, history, and geography of Bierce's settings, a geography never wholly fictional but seldom entirely factual, the book analyzes the variety of techniques that Bierce employs to create the verisimilitude and reader complicity that are characteristic of his best work. Owens breaks new ground by demonstrating the importance of considering the "testimony of landscape," or the input of the physical world."
"The Devil's Topographer explores the wider implications of Bierce's contribution to war short fiction and the significance of the war story as a subgenre in American literature. This volume is a significant contribution to the body of literary commentary on Ambrose Bierce and to the study of the development of the American short story."--Jacket.

We thoroughly enjoyed this hotel. A buddy and I were in Stuttgart on business and heard Baden Baden was pretty cool to check out, so we booked this hotel on short notice via Hostel World. It was a very nice hotel in the center of the town. Great restaurants near by and their buffet breakfast was great! The desk clerk was extremely nice and helpful when we only found one bed in our room and asked for a role in bed to accommodate us. I would highly recommend this hotel!

Listen to the story about two disagreeable people, called Tommy Brock and Mr. Tod. Nobody could call Mr. Tod nice. The rabbits could not bear him; they could smell him half a mile off. He was of a wandering habit and he had foxey whiskers; they never knew where he would be next. One day he was living in a stick-house in the coppice, causing terror to the family of old Mr. Benjamin Bouncer. Next day he moved into a pollard willow near the lake, frightening the wild ducks and the water rats.

Lest We Forget
Every Friday, Lily Childs launches a weekly writing challenge using three words she selects at random; participants are invited to create prose or poetry up to a wordcount of 100.
This time last year the word-prompts were: Admonish, Percussion, and Belong. They inspired a piece of free verse that focuses more on WW1, but I hope you'll forgive me reprising it here, on this special day, as a tribute to ALL the fallen.
Admonished by those who thought themselves their betters.
Seeking a last breath of freedom from their squalid trench they rose,
Sacrificing themselves to shrill whistles and cries
And then the staccato percussion that charted their rapid demise as over the top they went,
Pouring like ants from a nest,
Seeing a new horizon, briefly, before lead and shrapnel marked their bodies,
In daubs of crimson.
Now, here, in fields to which only the valiant can belong,
Remain those daubs of poppy-red
Fluttering in the breeze.
Remembrances to the long-ago dead.
