3D Printer or Rapid Prototyping Solution? How to Spot the Difference
As 3D Printing continues to grow, there has been the emeregence of several hobby-level technologies in the marketplace. Though useful, this group of printers are quite different from there professional-grade counterparts, the technology upon which today's 3D Printers (regardless of class) are built. Today, we will be sharing a recent Stratasys post outlining key points to consider when delving into the realm of additive manufacturing.
Before diving into your next 3D printing purchase for Rapid Prototyping (RP), let's put your product development process in focus.
The product development process, which transforms a concept into a market-ready product, plays a critical role in both the functional and economic success of your product and parent company.
It is therefore crucial for firms to effectively measure the performance of their product development cycle – using factors including lead time (the calendar months/years that pass from concept development to the end of pilot production) and engineering effort (the person-months/years required to go from concept development to the end of pilot production).
Consider that, over the last few years, consumer demand for product variety and customization has steadily increased. In addition, consider that product lifetimes are constantly shrinking. To stay competitive, not only do you need to develop more products, but you need to be account for the fact that they stay in the marketplace for shorter and shorter windows.
Thus, a product development cycle must be smarter, more agile, more productive, and more efficient. In addition, the decisions you make in the early stages of the product development cycle can ultimately affect multi-million dollar investments further down the path.
So what does this mean for you, the product design and development company, as we begin 2017?
Enter Rapid Prototyping
3D printing, the series of technologies allowing firms to rapidly turn on-screen designs into one-off physical objects, has been in use for nearly three decades by many of the world's largest and most demanding design and manufacturing companies. Since the turn of the millennium, it has also rapidly filtered down to smaller enterprises, dedicated RP shops and design workgroups, to the point that most fully recognize the opportunities of 3D printing. Many see the technology as integral, even indispensable, to their design and product development cycle. But beware – not all 3D printing solutions are alike!
Myth: The Only Difference between General Purpose 3D Printers and Professional RP Solutions is Price
Over the past two or three years there has been an explosion in small, entry-level, general purpose 3D printers that claim to have 'professional' prototyping capabilities in their literature.
While such 3D printers are indeed a useful entry tool to the wider technology, a company looking to make a serious dent in their product development cycle must be aware of all the factors that separate professional RP from general 3D printing. Here are just a few questions worth asking before you take the plunge:
How much of the RP workflow can this system actually handle?
It's all very well talking about prototyping, but what does it involve exactly?
At the concept verification stage, you need a system that can churn out multiple simple iterations, fast, in a cost-effective model material. At this point in the RP process, you're mainly evaluating 'form,' or what shape the product will take. And it's here that a general entry-level 3D printer will perhaps perform best – as long as the model isn't overly large or complex.
At the design validation stage, you've narrowed your design down to one or two finalists and now you want to test both 'form' and 'fit,' which, depending on your product, will demand high tolerances, multiple materials or colors in a single build, thin walls, complex geometries (requiring soluble support material), moving parts and more. For any serious design validation effort, the majority of small, desktop 3D printers will simply not provide the accuracy, detail and repeatability needed.
Finally, you want to test the design's functional performance – using stress tests, drop-tests or limited real-application usage. For this stage, engineering-grade materials are key. If cost-effective PLA material was ideal at the concept stage, for functional performance you need production-grade ABS, ASA, PC, PC-ABS, various Nylon grades, ULTEM and more.
Looking beyond the relatively narrow focus of the RP workflow are larger questions relating to learning and operating time, support and future-ability. Questions such as:
How much time do I have to invest getting it working, operating day to day, and in maintenance? How scalable is it to my future needs?
Here again, the differences between the plethora of readily available 3D printers and professional RP systems can be stark. Most entry-level 3D printers are still new to the market and have generally undergone minimal rigorous field testing. They have little in the way of supporting workflow tools and, due to the limited scope of the supporting vendor, tend to have very little in the way of global customer support – all of which affects your overall RP efficiency and effectiveness for the medium- to long-term.
Conclusion: Think about Overall Solution Effectiveness
All this means that firms focused on building competitiveness must act fast to compress their product design and development cycles with a systematic approach to RP and 3D printing. This means weighing the pros and cons of general purpose entry-level 3D printers vs professional RP systems.
A good starting point is to consider the intellectual property, engineering and software investments that have gone into developing the overall effectiveness of the solutions available.
Then consider how this affects both your lead time and engineering effort. You may be surprised to find the differences can add up to millions, if not billions, in costs over the development effort and the lifetime of your intended end-product.
With over 20 years experience providing Canadians with cutting-edge additive manufacturing solutions, Cimetrix is proud to provide our customers with unparalled experience, service, and support. Be sure to stay tuned for Part 2, which will coer how to better quantify Overall Solution Effectiveness.

Adam Sandler is still managing to get movies off the ground somehow in an attempt to get his career back on track, and his latest effort may actually get the job done. PIXELS is due out on July 24 and centers around 80's video game characters coming to Earth (what?!) in order to be hostile and junk.
See Also: Wanna Have Sex On A Unicorn? Play The Witcher 3
The supporting cast consists of Kevin James and the always awesome Peter Dinklage. The new trailer showcases some more of the bananas action sequences and some more of the lowest common denominator humor. Sure, some of the game effects look cool, but for the most part, it's still hard to imagine that anyone really thinks this movie is going to be any good. Watch for yourself in the video above.

Wyrmhide Armor: Outstanding leather armor made from the virtually impregnable hide of a great desert wyrm.
Tier: 14
Stat Bonuses: +18 DEF, +5 DEX
Fame Bonus: 5%
Feed Power: 650
Individual Chance of Tier Grouped Drops:
Marble Colossus
Void Entity
The former unreleased sprite of the Wyrmhide Armor:
This item is particularly interesting due to the fact that it was unobtainable by players, and was planned to drop in the, at the time new, Lair of Draconis. However, the item was hacked into the game using a very simple method where the HP or MP pot in your inventory would turn into any item, which caused the Lair of Draconis' planned drops to change, and ended up not being released. The armor was hacked alongside some other unreleased items and was used by a lot of players as it became very common until the hack was fixed and all existing hacked items were removed from player's inventories. The item was kept unreleased, but still in the game's code until 1st of August 2017 where it was released as a drop in the Lost Halls alongside the two other Tier 14 armors and Tier 13 weapons.
The Tier 15 Armors and Tier 14 Weapons remain unreleased to this day.

A fake "Dislike" Facebook application has gone viral on the internet and researchers say it is nothing more but a scam to perpetuate the downloading of the said application.
Avid Facebook users should be wary of messages like, "I just got the Dislike button, so now I can dislike all of your dumb posts lol!!". Apparently, this aims to entice the receiver to get the same application for his Facebook account.
It turns out that when you click to activate the application it discreetly accesses your social network and sends the same message to everyone on your friends list. It also discreetly updates your Facebook status to promote the link that tricked you in the first place, thus spreading the application virally to your Facebook online contacts.
If have you already accidentally (or unwittingly) installed the fake application, click on the "account" button at the top right of the Facebook home screen. Go to the option that says "application settings," and disable the fake "dislike" application.

An interesting article about an entrepreneur who is currently riding on the success of his fourth venture. His new venture TutorVista is an online tutoring company that imparts education to students in more than 13 countries, primarily among them being the US. If some one comes to me with the same idea, i would have asked him 1000 questions before believing in the success of this idea. Even Ganesh Krishnan faced many brickbats. This is what he says about the challenge he faced.
"Selling an intangible is difficult; selling an intangible over the Internet is doubly difficult and selling an intangible over the Internet from India is three times difficult. So, it's a big challenge."
His advice:
Entrepreneurship is all about having passion for an idea. Also, you should be foolish enough to believe that it will work. Foolish enough because each one of the four ideas that I started were in a sunrise area where nobody else had ventured. Whenever I started people would say that I will fail miserably.
For instance, when I went to a few venture capitalists to get funding for TutorVista.com they said it will never work. Moral of the story is I succeeded despite the doubting Thomases. Also, remember that only five per cent of the ideas work; the rest are consigned to the dustbin. It should be your attitude to think that you will be amongst that five per cent.
The other thing is entrepreneurs should always think about the larger picture. Entrepreneurs need to jump at an idea. Unless you do that you will never know. Don't worry too much about theory and business plans. None of the business plans that I made initially worked. They kept on changing and that's true of every entrepreneur. I am not saying that you should not have a plan. But be prepared to accept that it may not work out in the way you have planned it.
These are some of the lessons that I learned in my entrepreneurial stint till today.
If you are a young entrepreneur then this is your best time. India is actually rocking and opportunities are tremendous. You have venture capitalists coming in, GDP is growing at around nine per cent Indians are getting recognised globally — not just as cyber coolies but as somebody who could actually create valuable businesses.

May 21, 2019 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
30th May 2014
Investment journalist Cherry Reynard takes her weekly look at the investment trust landscape.
Terry Smith unveiled his new investment trust this week. The FundSmith Emerging Equities trust will invest in the same high quality companies with dependable franchises as the group's UK-focused fund. Smith has backed the fund with £5m of his own money and is hoping to raise between £100m and £250m. The trust will invest in 35-55 companies, with no more than 40% in any country or 5% in an individual company.
It is a relatively inauspicious time to launch an emerging market fund. The annual management charge will be 1.25% – high relative to other trusts in the sector, but the trust will not have a performance fee. Equally, the success of the UK fund and the simplicity of approach has won Smith a loyal backing.
The other noteworthy news was the re-engineering of the gearing on the Edinburgh Investment trust. The trust had been paying 7.75% and 11.5% on two sets of gearing, expensive on any measure. The trust has renegotiated some of its borrowing from June onwards, which should get rid of a drag on performance.
There were lots of VCT announcements this week, revealing the sector to be in buoyant shape and a key beneficiary of the economic recovery. The Artemis VCT, for example, announced plans to deliver a special dividend to shareholders, saying that the managers were finding relatively few investment opportunities in the Aim market at present. This is in spite of – or perhaps because of – a 23.8% gain in net asset value for the six months to 31 March. The trust had sold out of Andor Technology, Ducat Ventures and Ilika. These and other sales totalled £4.1m. Only £2.7m of that was deployed in other investments – specifically new weightings in GetLenses, Kalibrate Technologies and Nasstar.
The Rensburg VCT also had a strong year. The NAV was up 18% over the year to 28 February 2014, after adjusting for dividends of 4p per share and a special dividend of 2p per share. The group was a little more optimistic than the Artemis managers, concluding: "The majority of our investee companies are soundly financed and are, therefore, well placed to benefit from any improvement in the UK and global economies."
Elsewhere, Aberdeen-managed Shires Income also reported this week. The company's net asset value rose 11.5% over the year to 31 March, compared to a return of 8.8% from the benchmark FTSE All Share index. Gearing was a positive factor in overall returns, as was the trust's holding in the Aberdeen Smaller Companies High Income trust, as smaller companies continued their strong run. The trust will pay a full year dividend of 12p per share.
The TR Property Investment trust continued to reflect the resurgence in commercial property in the six months to 31 March. The trust saw an NAV total return of 22.4% against a benchmark total return of 14.9%. The discount narrowed and remains low as demand for the trust's shares continued to improve. The income picture was also robust, with the trust showing a 6.4% increase in overall dividends.
The private equity-focused Caledonia Investment trust also proved itself a beneficiary of the improving economic environment. The trust delivered an uplift in NAV of 14.9% for the year to 31 March, with the quoted portfolio delivering the strongest performance (at 20.5%) and the unquoted pool also doing well – rising 17.7%.
Trust in focus – Capital Gearing
Capital Gearing, run by market veteran Peter Spiller, has maintained the impressive record of preserving investor capital in every one of the last 30 years. Until 2013/14. Spiller's defensive positioning – low equity weighting, high inflation-linked bond and cash weighting – cost the fund dearly as markets embraced risk with vigour.
The latest annual results for the trust showed NAV dipped 2.5% for the year to 5th April. Spiller said this reflected 'the portfolio's relatively high exposure to underperforming defensive asset classes and unfavourable currency movements'. The asset allocation of the portfolio is completely flexible, but Spiller believed equities were highly valued, and inflation remained a real risk in a debt-burdened society.
Spiller is maintaining the trust's current asset allocation: Where he is invested in equities, it is in hedge funds, private equity and other 'special situations' type funds. He still holds around one- third of the portfolio in inflation-linked bonds and a further 30% in 'extended cash' such as zeros, preference shares and convertibles.
Spiller's track record would suggest that he is a good manager having a tricky patch, rather than anything more sinister. The trust's premium to net asset value has moved considerably lower and the managers have reduced their investment management fee from 0.85% to 0.60% of gross assets. It could be an opportunity to pick up a good manager at a lower price.
Fund pick – Nick Greenwood, manager of the Miton Worldwide Opportunities fund
"Phaunos Timber – [PTF] – SPECIAL SITUATION: Launched at the end of 2006, a time when Forestry was very much in vogue, touted as the ultimate non-correlated asset. The slump in the US housing cycle and a general decline in iron and steel production subsequently took a toll on the industry's prospects. Furthermore the market developed a deep distrust of the manager. The recently appointed chairman understood the depth of the problem and dispatched with the original managers while keeping many of the sharp-end staff within Phaunos as it became self managed. The stock remains friendless , however. Once a lower more realistic net asset value has been established then there is significant scope for the discount to narrow as the market learns to trust Phaunos."

The Most Important Stage in Growing Marijuana PlantsWhen growing marijuana plants, all the stages of its development are important and must be taken into serious consideration by the grower. A proper understanding of each stage is essential because the needs of the weed plant differ in each stage. But though all are important, there is one stage in the life of plants that require more attention on the part of the grower.
The recognized most difficult stage in growing pot plants is the vegetation stage and this is because of several reasons.
They are like BabiesThis is especially true during the initial stage of vegetation and they will require meticulous attention. It is easy to get over-excited and make mistakes that could prove disastrous to the growing baby plants at this stage. This is the point where the grower must be familiar with the watering, and nutritional requirements of growing weed plants. Fertilizers are easy to administer because it normally comes with directions on how it should be applied on a regular or periodic basis. But watering needs will depend on the actual prevailing conditions in the grow room or outdoor environment.
In some areas, because of cold climate, there may not be a need for daily watering but in tropical countries with humid climate, the grower may need to water on a daily basis. The best barometer in determining whether the weed plant needs water is in the soil itself. If it is cold when touched, it means it has enough moist still and watering is not yet needed. The ph level of soil is also important during the early stage of vegetation. When leaves start to droop or turn yellow, check the ph level of the soil.
Getting ready for the flowering stageYou do not prepare for the flowering stage when it is already flowering. Knowing what to do in this stage will enable your marijuana plants to bloom properly. At this stage, they will look like real marijuana plants and this is because they are already maturing. They will start to show pistils and will eventually reveal their sexes which must put the grower on guard and be able to identify immediately the male plants and take them away before they bloom. Done properly, the early flowering stage will ensure that you will have your weed plants ready for the blooming stage.
How do I know if my pot plants already have enough water?Try to observe the soil when you pour water on it. If it takes long to penetrate, then it means that the soil still has enough water.
Try to observe the soil when you pour water on it. If it takes long to penetrate, then it means that the soil still has enough water.They can't because the release of water to the plants is timed and so is the time that the water is emptied to a waiting container.

Daszak, P. (1999) Secretion of multilamellar whorls by 'Eimeria tenella' zoites. The Journal of Parasitology, 85(4), pp. 742-746. ISSN (print) 0022-3395Full text not available from this archive.
Multilamellar whorls were demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy to be associated with sporozoites and all generations of merozoites of Eimeria tenella, in chicken cecal tissue fixed without tannic acid or ruthenium red at room temperature. Whorls were found within the parasitophorous vacuoles of recently invaded cells at all stages of development, suggesting a role in the formation of the host parasite interface. Whorls were also associated with intraluminal third-generation merozoites prior to host cell invasion and appeared to be secreted directly through the pellicle. Membranous sheaths, shown by serial sectioning to be derived from intracellular whorl material, were observed enveloping some intraluminal merozoites. In many third-generation merozoites, whorl material was located within discrete novel organelles (here termed lamellosomes) located in the apical region. These densely staining spherical organelles were morphologically distinct from micronemes and rhoptries and were one-third the size of dense granules. These findings confirm that whorls are nonartifactual secretions whose lamellar organization is lost during normal fixation on ice without tannic acid. It is hypothesized that whorls secreted prior to invasion are involved in protection of the motile zoite, immune evasion, or some aspect of gliding motility.

text: Today, there is no jewelry brand more iconic than Tiffany & Co. In 1837, budding entrepreneurs Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young set up their luxury goods retailer, specializing in stationery. Some years later, the retailer's focus shifted to jewelry, resulting in the release of Tiffany's mail-order catalog - the 'Blue Book'. Renowned for his passion for precious jewels, in 1878, Charles Lewis Tiffany buys a 287-carat yellow diamond; now known as the 'Tiffany Diamond', the incredible jewel takes pride of place in the brand's flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York and was worn by Audrey Hepburn to promote the 1960's film, Breakfast at Tiffany's. As well as being a firm favorite amongst celebrities and royalty, Tiffany's has been the go-to for engagement rings for almost 150 years, offering elegant and afforable designs. Since the 1950s, Tiffany & Co has worked with a number of celebrated artists and designers, including Andy Warhol, Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso.

Cougar Basketball Inks Australian for 2010-11
May 24, 2010
PULLMAN, Wash. - Dexter Kernich-Drew (Melbourne, Australia/Caulfield Grammar) has signed a Financial Aid Agreement with Washington State University and will join the men's basketball team beginning with the 2010-11 season, head coach Ken Bone announced Monday.
'We are excited about the addition of Dexter to our program,' Bone said. 'Along with the other signees, Dexter is a high character individual that is joining us this coming fall. He's a very skilled wing at this time and has a chance to really improve over the next few years as his body continues to develop.'
A 6-foot-6 , 180-pound guard, Kernich-Drew (pronounced Ker-nick) was the 2009 Men's Youth 1 League Player of the Year as a member of the Waverly Eagles of Big V Basketball (formerly the Victorian Basketball League). He averaged 23.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game in 15 contests during the 2009 season. In eight games with Waverly in 2010, he's averaged 26.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. He was named the Big V Player of the Month for March, 2010, as he averaged 37.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists an outing.
At Caulfield Grammar, Kernich-Drew led his team to the 2008 McDonald's Cup Senior Boys State Championship, being named the tournament MVP. Caulfield went on to capture the National School Basketball Tournament (NSBT) Championship, defeating Mountain Creek Secondary High School. In the semifinals, Kernich-Drew scored 21 points and added five rebounds and six assists in Caulfield's defeat of Willeton Senior High.
'It's been a dream of mine to play elite level college basketball since I was a little kid and now my dream's becoming a reality,' Kernich-Drew said. 'I'm just embracing it and taking it full head on. This is a great opportunity for me and I'm looking forward to playing basketball at Washington State. After meeting the coaching staff and other people at the school, I felt this would be a great fit for me and a good college experience.'
Kernich-Drew joins an incoming class that includes freshmen Patrick Simon (6-8, 205, F, Ephrata, Wash./Ephrata HS) and Andre Winston, Jr. (6-1, 160, G, Lakewood, Wash./Lakes HS) and junior college transfer Faisal Aden (6-4, 185, G, San Diego, Calif./Hillsborough CC).

The 169 Member Countries of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) that gathered in Paris for the 75th General Assembly of the organization, voted on the restoration of the exercise of the rights and obligations of the People's Republic of China to the OIE.
Taiwan maintains its participation to the organization. The OIE has been asked by the vote of its Member Countries to refer to it under the new name of "Chinese Taipei". "This is a historical vote for our organization", the Director General of the OIE, Dr Bernard Vallat commented. "Nowadays, an effective control of animal diseases, including zoonosis, requires more and more transparent information and cooperation from Member Countries. The international community cannot afford to have gaps in the management of sanitary information and counting both Taiwan and China among our active Members will further improve the animal disease situation in the world", he added.
China had become a member of the OIE in 1992 but had not been fully participating to its work due to the presence in the organization of Taiwan , which joined the OIE in 1954.
With this vote, the OIE becomes one of the first and few international organizations whose members have facilitated and reached an agreement to have both China and Chinese Taipei as active members.
Background information
As of May 2007 the OIE totals 169 Member Countries with Fidji Islands having joined the organization during this 75th General Session.
The International Committee of the OIE comprises all the Delegates and meets at least once a year. The General Session of the International Committee lasts five days and is held every year in May in Paris. Voting by Delegates within the International committee respects the democratic principle of 'one country, one vote'. The main functions of the International Committee are: to adopt international standards in the field of animal health, especially for international trade; to adopt resolutions on the prevention and control of the major animal diseases; to elect the members of the governing bodies of the OIE - (President and Vice-President of the Committee, Members of the technical, administrative and regional Commissions); to appoint the Director General of the OIE; to examine and approve the annual report of activities and the financial report of the Director General and the annual budget of the OIE; to vote resolutions regarding all policies of the organization.

NYC Restaurant Week 2010
My lady friend and I were in New York City during Restaurant Week, and we took advantage of the $25 prix fixe lunch menu at two Manhattan restaurants which we regularly could not afford: Shang, Brasserie 8 1/2. We also made our way to Benchmark in Brooklyn's Park Slope district for an amazing diner. These are definitely three restaurants that you should try the next time you are in NYC, if you wallet can handle it, of course.

Born: September 23, 1920, Brooklyn, New York City, NY
Died: April 6, 2014, Studio City, CA
Height: 5′ 2″
Spouse: Jan Rooney (m. 1978–2014), More
Children: Michael Rooney, Tim Rooney, Mickey Rooney, Jr
Mickey Rooney (born Joseph Yule, Jr.; September 23, 1920 – April 6, 2014) was an American actor of film, television, Broadway, radio, and vaudeville. In a career spanning nine decades and continuing until shortly before his death, he appeared in more than 300 films and was one of the last surviving stars of the silent film era.
At the height of a career that was marked by precipitous declines and raging comebacks, Rooney played the role of Andy Hardy in a series of fifteen films in the 1930s and 1940s that epitomized American family values. A versatile performer, he could sing, dance, clown, and play various musical instruments, becoming a celebrated character actor later in his career. Laurence Olivier once said he considered Rooney "the best there has ever been.
Clarence Brown, who directed him in two of his earliest dramatic roles, National Velvet and The Human Comedy, said he was "the closest thing to a genius I ever worked with.
Rooney first performed in vaudeville as a child and made his film debut at the age of six. At thirteen he played the role of Puck in the play and later the 1935 film adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream. His performance was hailed by critic David Thomson as "one of cinema's most arresting pieces of magic". In 1938, he co-starred with Spencer Tracy in the Academy Award-winning film Boys Town. At nineteen he was the first teenager to be nominated for an Oscar for his leading role in Babes in Arms, and he was awarded a special Academy Juvenile Award in 1939.[4] At the peak of his career between the ages of 15 and 25, he made forty-three films and co-starred alongside Judy Garland,
Wallace Beery, Spencer Tracy, and Elizabeth Taylor. He was one of MGM's most consistently successful actors and a favorite of studio head Louis B. Mayer.[citation needed]
Rooney was the top box office attraction from 1939-41
and one of the best-paid actors of that era,
but his career never rose to such heights again. Drafted into the Army during World War II, he served nearly two years entertaining over two million troops on stage and radio and was awarded a Bronze Star for performing in combat zones. Returning from the war in 1945, he was too old for juvenile roles but too short to be an adult movie star, and he was not able to obtain acting roles as significant as before. Nevertheless,
Rooney was tenacious and he rebounded, his popularity renewed with well-received supporting roles in films such as Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962), It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), and The Black Stallion (1979) for which he was nominated for an Oscar.[citation needed] In the early 1980s, he returned to Broadway in Sugar Babies and again became a celebrated star. Rooney made hundreds of appearances on TV, including dramas, variety programs, and talk shows. During his career,
he received four Academy Award nominations and was nominated for five Emmy Awards, winning one.[citation needed]
At his death, Vanity Fair called him "the original Hollywood train wreck." He struggled with alcohol and pill addiction and married eight times, the first time to Ava Gardner. Despite earning millions during his career, he had to file for bankruptcy in 1962 due to mismanagement of his finances. Shortly before his death in 2014 at age 93, he alleged mistreatment by some family members and testified in Congress about what he alleged was physical abuse and exploitation by family members. By the end of his life, his millions in earnings had dwindled to an estate that was valued at only $18,000, and he died owing medical bills and back taxes, and contributions were solicited from the public.
On April 6, 2014, Rooney died in his sleep at his stepson Mark Rooney's home in Los Angeles, California at the age of 93.
He had gone for a nap after lunch, and family members called 911 when they sought to wake him and his breathing seemed labored. He was declared dead at 4 p.m.[71] Rooney was survived by his wife of 37 years, Jan Chamberlain, from whom he was separated, as well as eight surviving children, two stepchildren, nineteen grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren.
Rooney's crypt at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Rooney signed his will several weeks prior to his death. It disinherited all but one of his eight living children and his wife Jan, from whom he was estranged, and instructed his lawyer, rather than family, to manage his estate.[58] Rooney's lawyer disclosed that his client wanted to purchase a burial plot, but was unable to afford one. His estate had dwindled to $18,000, which was left to stepson Mark Rooney, the son of Jan Rooney. At the time of his death, Rooney owed back taxes to the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board.
Rooney's talent agency, CMG Worldwide, said that medical bills were also owed and that contributions from the public were being accepted, with proceeds "donated to help assist with the debts and expenses of Mickey's estate. Jan Rooney and seven of Rooney's eight biological children later filed separate court actions contesting the will

The Synod of Hertford (673AD)
The Synod of Hertford began on 24 September 673 AD and can be regarded as the beginning of the Church of England as a structural entity.
Theodore of Canterbury called a Synod of bishops and teachers of the Church. The Synod included all the Bishops except Wilfrid of Northumbria who sent proxies in his stead. At this stage there was no political entity of England and thus it can be fairly said that the Church of England pre-dated the creation of the English nation by about 150 years.
The Synod brought greater uniformity to the English churches and led to the consecration of more Bishops. In the decade following the Synod the number increased from 6 to 14 although it should be remembered that Bishops then had a very different role, much more like a Team Rector or Incumbent of a large parish today with a roving ministry. Ten Canons were agreed largely to ensure greater co-operation.
The Synod is described by Bede in his Ecclesiastical History in the following terms:
'In the name of the Lord God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, who reigns in eternity and rules His Church through the same Lord Jesus Christ. It was thought right that we should assemble in accordance with the custom of ancient canons to transact the necessary affairs of the Church. We therefore assembled on the 24th day of September, the first indiction, at Hertford; that is, myself, Theodore, though unworthy, Bishop of the See of Canterbury by the authority of the apostolic see; our fellow-bishop and brother the most reverend Bisi, Bishop of the East Angles; also our brother the Bishop Wilfrid, Bishop of the Northurnbrian people, who is represented by his own proxies. Also present were our
brothers and fellow-bishops Putta, Bishop of the Kentish fortress of Rochester; Eleutherius, Bishop of the west Saxons, and Winfrid, Bishop of the province of Mercia. When all the above had assembled and taken their places in due order, I said: "My dearest brothers, for the love and reverence you bear our Redeemer, I beg that we may all deliberate in harmony for our Faith, preserving inviolate the decrees and definitions of our holy and respected Fathers." I then proceeded to speak at length on the need for charity, and the preservation of the Church's unity. And having concluded my discourse, I asked each in turn whether they agreed to observe all the canonical decrees of the ancient Fathers. To which all our fellow-priests replied: "We agree gladly, and we will readily and willingly obey whatever is laid down in the canons of the holy Fathers." I then produced the said book of canons, and publicly showed them ten chapters which I had marked in certain places, because I knew them to be of the greatest importance to us, and I asked that all should devote careful attention to them.
'These decrees are drawn up and defined by our common consent, and in order that no occasion for unedifying controversy or differences between ourselves may arise, it has been thought right that each of us should ratify our decisions by his own signature. I have dictated this expression of our decisions to Titillus our secretary to be written down, and this has been done in the month and indiction mentioned above. Therefore, if anyone shall presume in any way to disregard or disobey these decisions confirmed by our agreement and ratified by our signatures, according to canonical decrees, let him take notice that he incurs suspension from every priestly function and exclusion from our fellowship.
'May divine grace preserve us all in safety, who live in the unity of His Holy Church.'
Various locations have been suggested for Clofeshoch including Cliffe-by-Hoo in what was then Mercia.

The anniversary of Donald Trump's election to the presidency of the US has naturally prompted some soul searching among the punditry, who largely failed to predict his election, and mostly opposed it.
Trump is guilty of most of what he's accused of, but it is a mark of the paternalist attitude held by many hacks these days that fake news is held so much to blame for the wrong candidate winning, in much the same way Britons were tricked into making the wrong choice in the EU referendum.
In the same line, fake news has caught people's attention because politics has started to matter again, which tells you nothing good about Britain and America's ruling classes.

In the case of Cowher vs Carson and Roberts, the Appellate Division recently ruled in our client's favor in holding that even though Mr. Cowher was not Jewish, he is protected under the Law Against Discrimination.
He was continuously taunted and insulted by his supervisors with anti-semitic insults, on the mistaken belief that he was Jewish. The NJ Law Journal article explains the case more fully below.
N.J. Bias Law Covers Claim Over Anti-Semitic Slurs Against Non-Jew
by Michael Booth
New Jersey Law Journal
April 18, 2012
A worker can pursue his bias suit against supervisors for directing anti-Semitic slurs toward him, even though they incorrectly thought he was Jewish, a New Jersey appeals court held on Wednesday.
If a plaintiff "can demonstrate that the discrimination that he claims to have experienced would not have occurred but for the perception that he was Jewish, his claim is covered" by the Law Against Discrimination, the court said in Cowher v. Carson & Roberts, A-4014-10.
The court said the defendants were motivated by their belief that Cowher was Jewish, and thus engaged in "real" discrimination and harassment the statute is designed to eliminate.
"That their target happened not to be Jewish should not serve to excuse their conduct," the court continued.
Myron Cowher was a truck driver for Carson & Roberts Site Construction & Engineering Inc. in Lafayette between April 2006 and May 2008. In February 2007, he alleges, supervisors Jay Unangst and Nick Gingerelli began making anti-Semitic jokes and derogatory comments directed toward him.
They first denied the allegations, but Cowher then produced videotapes with comments such as "Jew Bag," "Fuck you Hebrew," "Jew Bastard," "Where are [you] going, Jew," "If you were a German, we would burn you in the oven," and "Only a Jew would argue over his hours."
In May 2008, Cowher met with company president Dan Carson and was told to discuss the matter with another supervisor, Gary Merkle, who had previously told Unangst and Gingerelli that the comments were inappropriate.
e="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Cowher claimed he already had spoken with Merkle on several occasions and that Merkle told him to ignore the comments and that they would stop.
Alleging that the work environment left him disabled, Cowher quit his job later that month.
Unangst and Gingerelli now admit to making some of the comments, but claim that they were made as part of a "locker-room" environment and that they did not believe Cowher was Jewish.
They said the comments originated when Cowher and his wife took a cut on the proceeds of a Super Bowl pool, conforming to the stereotype of Jews being avaricious. Cowher says the comments stem from his request for a leave of absence to attend a bris.
Sussex County Superior Court Judge Edward Gannon dismissed the suit on summary judgment, citing Taylor v. Metzger, 152 N.J. 490 (1998).
Taylor held that a Jewish plaintiff alleging an anti-Semitic hostile work environment in violation of the LAD must demonstrate that the conduct would not have occurred but for the fact that he or she was Jewish.
The plaintiff also must show that the conduct was severe enough to make a reasonable Jewish person believe the work conditions became hostile or abusive.
Those tests were first laid out in a broader sense in Lehmann v. Toys 'R' Us, 132 N.J. 587 (1993).
Gannon agreed with the defendants that Cowher failed the first prong of the test because he is not Jewish and that the allegation that he was perceived to be Jewish was insufficient.
But Appellate Division Judge Edith Payne, joined by Susan Reisner and Marie Simonelli, said, "We regard the court's interpretation of New Jersey law to have been mistaken."
Payne cited a string of cases, beginning with Andersen v. Exxon, 89 N.J. 483 (1982), in which courts have held that discrimination laws can be used when defendants wrongly perceive plaintiffs to be disabled.
In Anderson, Exxon was found liable after it wrongly declined to hire the plaintiff as a truck driver, mistakenly believing he was disabled because he had undergone spinal fusion surgery.
Payne also cited Poff v. Caro, 228 N.J. Super. 370 (Law Div. 1987). There, a judge found a landlord liable for discrimination after he refused to rent an apartment to three gay men because he feared they would contract AIDS. The Poff court found discrimination based on a perception of a handicap to be within the protection of the LAD.
Payne said there is "no reasoned basis to hold that the LAD protects those who are perceived to be members of one class of persons enumerated by the Act and does not protect those who are perceived to be members of a different class, as to which the LAD offers its protections in equal measure."
Citing Cutler v. Dorn, 196 N.J. 419 (2008), Payne said the focus should be on the harassing conduct itself.
The issue is the effect of the defendants' derogatory comments "on a reasonable Jew, rather than on a reasonable person of plaintiff's actual background," she said.
"We recognize that anti-Semitic comments are likely to affect a reasonable Jew more profoundly than a reasonable non-Jew, although we do not suggest that any reasonable person should tolerate comments of a nature as offensive as those expressed by Unangst and Gingerelli," Payne said.
"But the LAD is 'remedial legislation' the purpose of which 'is to change existing standards of conduct.'" she said, quoting Lehmann.
The panel also rejected arguments that the company should not be held liable because it had anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies in place, and that Unangst and Gingerelli could not be held individually liable.
The judges did say that Gannon correctly dismissed claims against Merkle because he did not engage in the discriminating conduct and at least pointed out to Unangst and Gingerelli that their conduct was improper.
Cowher's lawyer, Budd Lake solo Robert Scirocco, says the ruling breaks new ground.
"The defendants can't hide behind the fact that the employee was not Jewish to escape liability," he says, "or that he could not be hurt by anti-Semitic remarks."
Scirocco also says the ruling could apply to anyone who is discriminated against based on the wrong impression that he or she belongs to a protected class — such as being a Muslim or being gay.
The defendants are represented by Frederick Polak and Robert Goodsell of Roseland's Post, Polak, Goodsell, MacNeill & Strauchler. Polak says only that the ruling is being reviewed.
