The Culture Lab
The company The Culture Lab was established by three La Salle students, who wanted to convey that data does not necessarily have to be presented numerically. In today's society our minds are focused on practical and logical data representation, but this limits the beauty of the information. The idea behind The Culture Lab is that we can represent data through shapes and art; it takes away the complexity of the …[ seguir leyendo ]

This summer we had the pleasure of working again with filmmaker Anne Marie Fleming. Her short film pays tribute to director, screenwriter and actress Sarah Polley. This was screened at the 2013 Governor General's Performing Arts Awards.
Stories Sarah Tells by Ann Marie Fleming, National Film Board of Canada
To repair his tarnished image, a jaded rock star publicly decides to fulfill a child's "Dear Santa" Christmas wish. After reluctantly agreeing to spend the holidays in a small town and perform in the local holiday Christmas concert, he's mortified at the prospect of staying in the home of an idyllic, close-knit family but soon realizes the true value in what they have – love, caring and a memorable holiday spirit.
Cast: Drew Lachey (98 Degrees), Mackenzie Porter (Tom, Dick & Harriet, Horses of McBride)
Rukkus House's Doug Paterson handled re-recording for this film.

COLD PARADISE offers a rare insight into the lives of Filipino temporary workers and permanent residents in Canada's Yukon.

Paradigm Global Events is once again hosting 'Pharma Outsourcing & Partnership Global Congress 2018 Europe'
It will provide a unique platform for attendees to discuss and share on the outsourcing and partnership strategies, challenges and opportunities, global collaboration and the future of pharma outsourcing and partnership. Also including; vendor relationship management, legal & regulatory issues and a chance to discuss recent political & economic landscapes effecting outsourcing & partnership.
Please go to our website to find out more information and REGISTER.
We look forward to seeing you at the Congress!
See a little bit of insights here......
The pharmaceutical industry's steady growth curve is beginning to shorten and is facing some significant challenges. The development costs are skyrocketing, the dynamics changes in political landscapes, uncertainty around regulatory and reimbursement, patent cliffs, and a sluggish global economy all have caused the industries to reconsider their strategies. To respond to these pressures, pharmaceutical companies are intensely focusing on generating more value and productivity from every penny spent on R&D. The challenge of accelerating pharmaceutical product development while also controlling costs creates a difficult balancing act for the industry.
Pharmaceutical companies, big or small, are now waking up to the realisation that doing everything alone is no longer a viable response. Through the use of strategic outsourcing with third party vendors, this is the time for the pharmaceutical industry to accelerate outsourcing activities and learn from the experience of other industries to maximise their internal resources, while at the same time enter into risk-sharing agreements with CROs to generate significant cost savings.
With around 80% of companies viewing contract relationships as partnerships, challenges in outsourcing and partnerships must be tackled. Challenges such as, performance quality, regulatory requirements, legislations, and communications can cause delays in data transfer and deadlines. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that outsourcing is correctly undertaken and fully understood.
The two-day Pharma Outsourcing & Partnership Global Congress 2018 Europe will provide a unique platform for the convergence of stakeholders in the industry to interact, discuss and network with top tier government, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals and non-profit organizations as well as regional and local service providers to discuss and share on the outsourcing and partnership strategies, challenges and opportunities, global collaboration and the future of pharma outsourcing and partnership.

I am trying to select a price level on a 1hour bar that is part of a daily bar with a certain characteristic.
Something along the following line, as an example:
If ((daily bar == certain characteristic) -> zoom into 1hour bars and do 'whatever'...)
To make the transfer from Daily to 1H, I thought of using CopyRates and linking the time frames through iTime(_, PERIOD_D1, _), like the following lines (I selected the 10th bar just for testing purposes):
int start() { MqlRates 1HourRate[]; ArraySetAsSeries(1HourRate,true); #define LEN 23 datetime daily_time = iTime(NULL,PERIOD_D1,10); //select the opening time of //the 10th daily candle int copied = CopyRates(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,daily_time,LEN,1HourRate); //Copy the 23 candles of the //1H chart that make up the daily candle //into the 1HourRate array if(copied>0) { //...manipulate 1HourRate at will...
However, it's not working.
There are two questions:
1. What is the correct way to "zoom into" a different TF?
2. Sometimes the daily is comprised of 22 bars as opposed to 23. In other words, the opening time of the daily is 00:00 but the first one hour bar opens at 1:00am. How to connect both time frames in this scenario?
Thanks in advance,

The Wimbledon International Music festival opened on Saturday (November 11) with the London premiere of a very special work with a strong Wimbledon connection.
The Cool Web: A Robert Graves Oratorio is a celebration of the great Wimbledon-born poet, Robert Graves, whose son William Graves opened the festival.
Local school children from Merton Music Foundation and Holy Trinity Primary performed the work alongside local professional choir, Sonoro, with a number of Graves war poems carefully chosen by librettist Sue Curtis and music put together by Jools Scott.
William Graves said: "To have my father's war poetry honoured in this way is really wonderful and hearing the London premiere of the work in Wimbledon, it was incredibly special. It was a superbly moving performance and my sister Lucia and I felt very privileged to have been there."
Also in attendance was baritone soloist Edward Grint and The Philharmonia Orchestra under conductor Robin O'Neill.
Festival Director Anthony Wilkinson said: "The opening of the festival ended with a standing ovation for a really extraordinary work that should become one of the 21stcentury classics in commemoration of the brave."
The children of Merton Music Foundation Young Voices and Holy Trinity Primary also sang songs specially arranged and written for them by Merton Music Foundation's Adam Saunders.
The Wimbledon International Music Festival runs until November 26. Media partner for the 2017 festival is Classic FM.

21 - 24 January, 2019 | Twickenham Stadium, London, United Kingdom
Lieutenant General Md Mahfuzur Rahman
Principal Staff Office
Bangladesh Armed Forces
We now live in a seemingly much more complicated world; cyber-attacks, asymmetric warfare, terrorism at home and abroad/ The Nation states' monopoly on the use of force has been eroded and non-state actors have become increasingly powerful drivers of change.
To generate both a breath of knowledge and a depth of insight, the panel discussion will feature the most senior officers and strategic decision makers who are setting the long-term strategies on the future direction of land power and armoured capability
Aim: To investigate the balance of capabilities required within future Land Forces.
· To hear perspectives from very senior military officers regarding their assessments of national and collective capabilities required to meet expected future challenges in the LAND Environment.
· Subsequent discussion should take into account the range of military roles from War fighting, Counter Insurgency and Stabilisation to Peace Support and Humanitarian Assistance, and the Challenges presented by Hybrid and Ambiguous Warfare.
· Discussion will also consider the utility of Armoured Forces against the spectrum of requirements, and how they might contribute to an appropriately balanced Land force.

Here's what Olivia Falcon, UK,
had to say about Dr. Rita on WhatClinic.com
Were you pleased with the treatment?
I recently tried Pelleve treatment with Dr Rakus and was really thrilled with the results - the treatment, which lasted about 40 minutes, worked in a way that no facial ever could. I immediately noticed a subtle 'lift' in my face, especially around my eye area, and since the treatment I feel I look more awake and alive. For best results a course of three treatments are recommended and I will be going back for more. For the last 8 years I have been Health and Beauty Director at Tatler magazine and I have tried everything under the sun. Pelleve really stood out and I trust Dr Rakus as she always delivers results.
Dr Rakus is world renowned for her subtle and beautiful lip treatments which add gradual improvement to your face
Follow these links to our Restylane®, Restylane Perlane™, Restylane Lipp™ or pages
Call +44 (0) 20 7460 7324 for your FREE CONSULTATION
or contact Dr Rita Rakus
The above are some commonly asked questions before treatment.
My hairdresser (people who always notice!) made me thrilled when she said "What have you done to your makeup. It looks good, you appear refreshed and your jaw line is tighter. A new face cream? Tell me about it"
It wasn't makeup or creams, but Thermage performed by Dr. Rita Rakus. I've trusted her for many years now and I know that if she suggests a new treatment I can rely on her judgment. I'm so pleased that I had Thermage.
Lynda W.
"I am very happy with the immediate lifting effect of the Pelleve and with the kind and professional way I was treated by Dr Rakus and her assistants"

Dictating to a voice activated device is a novel experience for me. Sometimes you just don't want to type your ideas but want to speak them out loud. The technology these days empowers authors like myself who are too lazy to type or just want to try out the technology for the sake of it. So I'm trying this out to see how it goes. I haven't figured out everything yet. But I am pleasantly surprised that my voice is recognizable to the iOS software and without too many corrections I can get this thing done. The built-in software within iOS is pretty good at translating voice to text. It is far more challenging for me to get accustomed to dictating what I want to write to software. I have yet to Google how to delete my mistakes when I see them typed by voice commands. I would like this experience to be completely hands-free and smooth flowing. And it should not take too long to get to that stage.
So, in order to practice, I decided to test it out by dictating this article. Just to see if I can throw this thing off. So far it doesn't seem to mind and types whatever I say as long as I say it in English intelligibly enough. I haven't have to type any tongue twisters or easily misheard or misinterpreted words phrases or sentences. Abracadabra hocus-pocus this is truly magical, the thing ignores my coughing and sneezing and other noises from the background. While I cannot say that this software built into the device will work for everyone but it seems to work for me. So far so good. Now if I can only focus on the writing (dictating) it would greatly increase my writing speed and productivity. I do type pretty fast but naturally I speak faster.
Writing is an artform and it has come a long way since the days of pen and ink on manuscripts to typewriters and desktop PCs to small portable smart devices that support voice recognition so good that the writer can free himself or herself from the medium and focus on the content itself. It will take some time but it will truly be the way writers write in the future. I think. I'm loving this. I think.
I have to learn to use this dictation thingamajig properly before totally adapting it over typing. For instance I still pause, as it eight [hesitate], while I wait for it to type what I just said instead of just saying it because it does take a few seconds to process. I still have to figure out how to delete mistakes using voice commands.

On December 7, 1941 Fenton Martin and his family were taking part in their regular Sunday routine of going to the movies. It was shaping up to be a typical relaxing time at the movies until a newsflash interrupted their show to announce that Pearl Harbor had been attacked.
When He Heard about Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor day was, of course, December 7, '41. That was a Sunday, and we were, as a family, addicted to going to the movies Sunday afternoon. And we did and came back and turned on the radio – there was no TV. And first thing we knew, we got the "Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye" radio program. You may not even have heard of Sammy Kaye, but he was very popular then… and I liked him very much. I can remember the, "We interrupt this program to bring you an important announcement. This just in from the White House; Pearl Harbor has been bombed by the Japanese. Massive loss of life, et cetera, et cetera.

JULY 12TH AT 3:00 PM: This morning, we experienced an educational HIV/TB Workshop as well as a clinic visit with Dr. Lynette. It was a two-hour long lecture that felt never-ending, but was an informative learning session. We then had a medical outreach training taught by Dr. Kivuyo for tomorrow's journey to Engikaret, the rural area.
8:00 PM: The last hours have been extraordinary. At the Vijiji Resturant, we experienced traditional drumming and dancing before dinner! It was such a fun experience and I cannot express the amount of laughter I had with the other volunteers.
After the drumming and dancing performance, the Africans then taught us how to dance. We wore African skirts as well as hats to illustrate their culture. I've had dance training since I was four years old so the dance choreography was easy to pick up, but for the guys…well…I couldn't stop laughing at them :).
It was a marvelous event as we all laughed at each other's dance moves, and enjoyed hanging out with one another. By the end of the lesson, we were all dripping in sweat with our mouths hurting from smiling too much. Soon, dinner came and I HAD PENNE PESTO PASTA! It was a lively relaxing day and we couldn't wait for what tomorrow had in store for us!

The Lost Gospel: Decoding the Ancient Text That Reveals Jesus' Marriage to Mary the Magdalene : Waiting to be rediscovered in the British Library is an ancient manuscript from early Christianity, copied by an anonymous monk. This document is at least 1,450 years old, possibly dating to the first century, but it has never been properly translated or decoded. Until now.
Working with an expert team of translators and digital imaging experts, acclaimed authors Simcha Jacobovici and Barrie Wilson provide the first-ever translation, from Syriac into English, of this unique document, which tells the inside story of Jesus' social, family and political life.
The Lost Gospel takes readers on an unparalleled historical adventure through this paradigm-shifting text. What the authors eventually discover is as astounding as it is unexpected: the confirmation of Jesus' marriage to Mary the Magdalene; the names of their two children; a previously unknown plot on Jesus' life more than a decade prior to the crucifixion; an attempt to abduct Mary and kill the children; the politics behind the crucifixion; and a religious movement that antedates that of Paul'sâthe Church of Mary the Magdalene.
Part detective story, part modern adventure, The Lost Gospel reveals secrets that have been hiding in plain sight for millennia. Jacobovici and Wilson's surprising discovery and vigorous scholarly research position this ancient text alongside the Dead Sea Scrolls and Gnostic writings as a pillar of our evolving understanding of the historical Jesus.

Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood gives Manchester a glimpse of his artwork
Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood gives Manchester a glimpse of his artwork
By Ailsa Macmillan
Fresh from its exhibition of Bob Dylan artwork, Manchester's Castle Galleries is now selling work by Ronnie Wood.
And the artwork has been such a hit in Manchester that there are only a couple of prints left for sale.
Ronnie's work incorporates the Rolling Stones and his own musical influences.
Anthony Ducker, Gallery Manager of Castle Galleries said: "It's done really well and it has been well received."
Framed editions sell for up to £999 while it will set you back £795 for unframed artwork.
Mr Ducker said: "The artwork is really vibrant, really well put together and quite striking."
The Cockney rocker has had a string of dalliances with models and is currently dating Nicola Sargent, who is 40 years younger than him.
Ronnie has always had a love of art since childhood and he consequently went to train at the Ealing Art College where stars, such as Freddie Mercury of Queen and Pete Townshend of The Who also attended in the 1960s.
The rebel rocker has had past alcoholism and drug problems but sold his first painting at only 9 years old.
Ronnie's paintings, drawings and prints frequently feature icons of popular culture and have been exhibited all over the world.
Several of his paintings, including a work commissioned by Andrew Lloyd Webber are displayed at London's Drury Lane Theatre.

Model | Levon Lyimo (@levonlyimo)

Behind The Scenes | Abana Sohtra (@asohtra)
A facet of my style that I don't post often enough about is my absolute love for street wear. Be it from top players like Obey, KR3W and Dimepiece to local labels like Balla Balaclava and Ystrdaybone, you'll most likely see me sporting these labels on my days off (mixed with a little LV or Helmut Lang of course). This influence definitely stems from my older brother whose closet, I like to think, is almost an extension of my own. I've been raiding and stealing from my brother's wardrobe since I could remember, granted only the pieces that have been washed and hung obviously!
The crew behind Balla Balaclava were the biggest pleasure to work with on their latest look book shoot and the passion designer Thushan Shrimpton shows for his creation gets you nothing but excited for what the future holds for this Melbourne label. Derived from the streets of Melbourne suburb, Balaclava and influenced by hip hop culture including the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Joey Bada$$, BB definitely has that unique throwback/90s feel, offering effortlessly cool and timeless street gear.
The new drop which hits online today features some cool new safari prints, something a bit bold and different to BB's usual take on street/logo wear. The pocket and sleeve animal print detailing provides all the colour you really need, paired with the subtle BALLA tags, it's a winner...

Leadership Spokane is committed to the truism that leaders always learn. As we celebrate Mother's Day, there is one leadership lesson that mothers have mastered…an explanation of the why! Famous leadership guru Simon Sinek had provided a series of lectures including an iconic TED talk where he masterfully describes what really drives organizations and it is not the what and the how but the why. He writes: "Your Why Statement is a sentence that clearly expresses your unique contribution and impact." When followers understand their why, they are motivated to follow thru and achieve even better results. His best example is the powerful Apple organization who doesn't just deliver good computers, they deliver an attitude that the world expects. In a Ken Krogue July 2015 Forbes article entitled "Simon Sinek Says 'Start With Why,' But Sales Experts Disagree" Sinek paraphrases Apple's mindset: "Everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently. The way we challenge the status quo is by making our products beautifully designed, simple to use, and user friendly. We just happen to make great computers. Want to buy one?" Apple's stupendous annual sales demonstrate that millions of consumers like challenging the status quo.
There is no one better to explain the why than mothers. Mother's Day is such an important day because mothers have such a profound impact on each of us. They are the epitome of leadership, defining by how they live countless leadership examples. Truly, mothers demonstrate time management skills daily, help us heal, have empathy, listen and never run out of passion. Mothers lead by example their entire lives. Phaedra Friend in an August 2016 LinkedIn article "7 Ways Being a Mother Made Me a Better Leader" explains: "Every 4-year-old goes through the why phase, and mothers are adept at explaining why kids have to put on their jackets, brush their teeth, be nice, and on and on and on. On a similar page, a big part of being a good leader is understanding your team's motivations — and that those motivations are as unique as each person on the team. It's not just about money (although sometimes it is). Truly, a person's productivity and attitude can change with a personal thank-you note, or a kudos in front of the team. Sometimes motivation is ignited just by putting out a carrot, but everyone has their own unique motivators, and a good manager understands those and uses them to get the orchestra to play a symphony." The Why always matters…
Every Mother's Day it is a privilege to write a blog saluting mothers everywhere. Mothers are the bookends for leadership theory. They establish trust which is the baseline for any leader-follower relationship and they know how to answer the tough why question. Mothers are teachers. Henry Ward Beecher rightly said: "The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom." Mothers are leaders too because they are always the best ones to answer the toughest question of all – the "Why?"
My mom taught me that the world is an abundant place and that each of us can manifest the abundance we need. ~Kate Northrup

I'm from Flagstaff, by way of Phoenix, but I've lived in Tucson for 17 years. I was drawn to Tucson by the people, culture, history, environment and wonderful homes and real estate. I love it here because it's a great place to live.
Before working in real estate, I was a field engineer in heavy civil construction. I was responsible for multimillion-dollar budgets and projects that had to be done on schedule. This developed my communication, negotiation and organizational skills, which are indispensable in real estate. I'm loyal and dedicated to my clients and I make sure to bring a consultative approach to the job. I find out what is most important to the client and I help them craft a plan to achieve their goal. I am a strong negotiator and oversee the transactional details.
I specialize in noteworthy and historic homes, especially homes near the University of Arizona. I've sold some amazing historic homes, putting families into one-of-a-kind homes that they love and can make their own. I helped out-of-state clients organize to sell their mother's home and made sure the home and transaction were prepared so they had a stress-free experience.
I enjoy spending time hiking with my wife Kim and checking out old buildings and I love music, playing and teaching guitar.

David Shuttleton – when you're as masculine as he is you can get away with white-on-white – is what is known in show business as a homophobic cunt. You won't find Moira Stuart reading all about him on the BBC news, however, because he only abuses gay people on Twitter. And as we all know, homophobia, in the grand scheme of misogyny, doesn't make headline news.
It does here, however.
David Shuttleton – @ScottishTruths on Twitter, which is ironic when this shit follows; 'Christian (Luke 16:19-31, Romans 1, Psalm 35. Psalm 37:12-13, Matt 7:6).
#Artist. Craftsman. Lecturer. Speaker. GSOH. Cup flowing over' – is a funny sort of homophobe. Instead of flicking himself off to people much better looking than him on Cam4 like your common-or-backyard homophobe, he takes to abusing reach-out-and-troll gays on Twitter instead. It's what the baby Jesus would've wanted.
Jaye Richards Hill was one of his targets. A lesbian teacher, he took particular umbrage over her support of equal marriage in Scotland.
David Shuttleton, a furniture restorer from just outside of Glasgow, bombarded Jaye with homophobic abuse, via Twitter, owing to his deeply held beliefs. So deep, in fact, that he accused Jaye of being a paedophile and a 'danger to children'. Because she's a lesbian. You do the math.
Jaye in turn sued him for defamation. And girlfren' won!
David Shuttleton, who says that 'homophobia' is a 'propaganda word used by homosexuals', has now been told to pay £40,000 in compensation plus court costs by the Court of Session, Scotland's highest civil court.
'It's an absolute scandal that homosexuals have got such power in our community,' said David Shuttleton, whose flyer for his furniture restoration business you will find over the jump. 'It's an absolutely scandalous abuse of laws.'
Might we suggest, David, that as well as quitting with the cuntiness, you pick up a thesaurus.
Talking of trolls, meet David Shuttleton. He's a troll of the religious homophobic kind, and he's just been fined £40,000 for the privilege. ,

Hometown Hunt: South Coast Collection (SOCO) in Orange County
The first thing that comes to mind when I think about an event venue is live music, but my favorite event space offers a little extra. South Coast Collection, or SOCO, is an eclectic collection of shops and restaurants, and for this reason it's a quirky (and favorite) location for events. I knew it was a perfect choice for Eventbrite's Hometown Hunt search. The modern shopping center is made up of mostly luxury home design stores, but in the heart of it all is The OC Mix. The OC Mix is an open space with small storefronts selling everything from fresh cheese to Voluspa candles. It's such a fun place, and one of my favorites when it comes to events.
The Costa Mesa center hosted after parties for this year's Newport Beach Film Festival, and it also regularly hosts movie nights (called SOCO Nights) and special holiday gatherings. But my favorite events are the ones that involve wine. Since the center has both a wine tasting spot and a wine school, it occasionally holds wine events like SOCO Uncorked. So if you live in Orange County, I suggest keeping up with SOCO events via Eventbrite.
By the way, if you guys like hosting your own events, like I do, Eventbrite has some awesome tools to help you out like the Event Management Tool. Give it a go if your an avid party thrower!

Nagamootoo says Guysuco is a Begging Bowl now
Alliance For Change executive member Moses Nagamootoo believes that Guysuco the once striving sugar corporation is now a begging bowl.
The veteran politician was speaking at his party's press conference.
Nagamootoo is also calling for a forensic audio of the books of GUYSUCO. He feels the company has become a political football.
The government is confident that sugar will become sweeter once again following the installation of the new board of directors. It was the minister of Agriculture Dr Leslie Ramsammy who told this newscast on Thursday that the members of the board should be given a chance to revive the industry. He said GUYSUCO will meet its production target of 216,000 tonnes of Sugar for this year.
Over the past few years the government has been pumping millions into the industry with implementing numerous turn around plans that yielded little results.

It seems in some areas there's a Starbucks on every corner. So how do legal weed shops compare in numbers in the state of Washington?
A survey of the state's counties shows in some places you are more likely to encounter a pot shop than a Starbucks, according to marijuana data website Lemonhaze.
The report looked at the locations of both Starbucks and legal weed shops. It shouldn't come as a surprise that in counties with more people, there are more Starbucks stores. In 18 of the state's 39 counties, there are more legal marijuana stores than Starbucks stores, the data show.
All counties from the Columbia River north through Snohomish County on the Interstate 5 corridor have more caffeine than cannabis. However, Skagit and Whatcom counties, near the Canadian border, have more pot shops than Starbucks sites.
Other counties with more marijuana shops than Starbucks: Adams, Clallam, Ferry, Grant, Grays Harbor, Island, Jefferson, Kittitas, Klickitat, Mason, Okanogan, Pacific, San Juan, Skamania, Stevens and Whitman.
Don't expect that same ratio in King County, the home of the international coffee chain, with 248 more Starbucks locations than pot shops. In all, King County has 328 Starbucks stores, Lemonhaze says.
Pierce County, with 27 licensed marijuana stores according to Lemonhaze, has 52 more Starbucks stores than legal weed shops.
Thurston County, with 22 pot shops, has 27 Starbucks stores, the data show.
Four counties — all rural — don't have a single Starbucks or a weed shop: Columbia, Garfield, Lincoln and Wahkiakum.
And even though nearly half of our state's counties have more licensed pot entrepreneurs than Starbucks franchises, consider that in Denver, retail pot shops outnumber Starbucks stores 2 to 1, according to the website Denverite.
The Starbucks store totals are current through November last year. Marijuana stores are those that have an active license and earned revenue in March, according to Lemonhaze.

If your mappers failed for some reason then there will be no files in the output directory.

Paladino removed from Buffalo board
On Board Online • September 4, 2017
By Cathy Woodruff
Senior Writer
Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia has removed former gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino from the Buffalo school board, citing his disclosure of confidential discussions that took place during an executive session in violation of the state Open Meetings Law.
Paladino, a real estate developer and member of the Buffalo board since 2013, indicated through his lawyer that he expects to appeal. His attorney called the removal "excessive."
In a 33-page decision released on Aug. 17, Elia found that Paladino "intentionally disregarded his legal duty to safeguard confidential material" when he wrote an article for a weekly arts publication that revealed details of board deliberations on contract negotiations with city teachers.
Paladino testified at a hearing before Elia in June that he wrote the article because he felt a moral duty to disclose information that led him to conclude that the Buffalo Teachers Federation (BTF) controls the school board and the school district, with serious financial repercussions for taxpayers.
Elia rejected Paladino's argument that he was not legally bound to keep the details of the school board's Oct. 12, 2016 executive session discussions with Superintendent Kriner Cash confidential because the contract with the union was settled and the terms were publicly known by the time the article was published in January of 2017.
"It is not (Paladino's) disclosure of factual data that was ultimately included in the final contract that constitutes a breach of his legal duties under these circumstances," the commissioner ruled. "Rather, it was the revelation of, among other things, the board's internal discussion regarding negotiating strategies during executive session."
Before Buffalo's new contract with the teachers union was approved in October, the district and the BTF had not ratified a contract since 2004, and the two sides had been locked in a years-long stalemate in their efforts to reach a new agreement.
As a result of Paladino's Jan. 5 article in Artvoice, which lambasted fellow board members and the superintendent for attitudes and behavior he characterized as weak and pandering to BTF union leaders, Elia found that Paladino compromised the district's bargaining position in future negotiations with the teachers and other district employee unions.
"These disclosures revealed potential vulnerability on the part of the superintendent ... and are of obvious relevance not only to the BTF, but also to the eight other bargaining units with which the district negotiates," the commissioner wrote. She pointed to statements from the union president, who testified in the course of a five-day hearing in June, that Paladino's disclosures "were a boon to him and the BTF because they showed that the district would easily acquiesce during contract negotiations in response to pressure."
NYSSBA General Counsel Jay Worona said Elia's decision represents an important affirmation of the duty that school board members have to keep information, opinions and advice expressed during an executive session confidential. It's also a reminder, he said, that board members should not substitute their own judgment about what should be made public for their responsibilities under the law.
"The New York State School Boards Association has, as a part of its mission, an obligation to train members on their legal roles and responsibilities," Worona said. "In that training, not only do we explain what their obligations are under the Open Meetings Law, but we also specifically inform them of their obligation to retain confidentiality in executive sessions."
During his testimony, Paladino acknowledged that he had attended NYSSBA training for new school board members but said he "may have" been reading the newspaper during some of the training and, when asked if he'd been paying attention, said "I don't remember the circumstances."
Regarding his obligation to abide by board policy, he testified, "I'm governed by it to the extent that I don't disagree with it."
Elia described Paladino's responses to questions focused on his legal responsibility for confidentiality as "evasive" and said he "demonstrated a lack of regard and appreciation for his responsibilities as a member of a board of education."
She added that Paladino had alternatives to unilateral public disclosure, such as an appeal to the commissioner or a complaint to law enforcement for investigation, if he believed his fellow board members had engaged in wrongdoing and if he believed that was a matter of public interest or concern.
"To sanction (his) behavior would allow each individual school board member to decide what information is confidential, and whether it should be released to the public," Elia wrote. "The law cannot tolerate such conduct."
The charge against Paladino for revealing confidential material from the Oct. 12 executive session was one of three brought by a majority of the board in a petition seeking his removal. Elia declined to sustain two other charges, which alleged that Paladino violated the law when he shared information about litigation involving a former contractor and about disciplinary action against a principal.
Paladino's removal was immediate, and the Buffalo board has begun seeking applicants for appointment to fill his seat. Paladino's lawyer, former state Attorney General Dennis Vacco, indicated it's likely he will appeal Elia's decision in state court. Paladino also has a case pending in federal court, accusing his fellow board members of violating his First Amendment free speech rights.
Paladino will be eligible to run again for the board one year after his removal. He expressed mixed feelings about seeking re-election, however, in an interview with WBEN radio on the day the commissioner's decision was announced. He blamed a public campaign for his ouster chiefly on "politics" and repeated his contention that other board members are controlled by leaders of the teachers' union.
"To be frank, after sitting on that board for four years and trying to move that rock up the hill, I personally don't think there's much that can be done to rectify it from within," he told the radio interviewers.
Paladino was the Republican candidate for governor against Democrat Andrew Cuomo in 2010 and more recently served as co-chair of Donald Trump's presidential campaign in New York. He was elected to his first three-year term on the board in 2013 and re-elected last year. His school board tenure has been a stormy one as he battled regularly with fellow board members.
He and his attorneys contended during the June hearing in Albany that the charges against him were a pretext for what he alleged was the board's true motivation: retribution for offensive remarks he made in December about then-President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
Paladino told Artvoice he hoped that in the upcoming year, the president would catch mad cow disease after having sex with a Hereford and that Michelle Obama would "return to being a male" and move to Africa to live with a gorilla. The comments were widely condemned as racist and disgraceful, particularly coming from a school board member. Paladino denied there was a racial component in what he said, but he did say he regretted the remarks during his testimony at the Albany hearing.
Buffalo board members have acknowledged that they initially planned to petition for Paladino's removal based on the Obama comments, but they ultimately opted to go ahead with charges based on the alleged Open Meetings Law violations after consulting with attorney Frank Miller.
In her decision, Elia described Paladino's argument of retaliation for free speech as "ill-suited" to the facts of the case before her and for the forum of an appeal to the education commissioner. Nonetheless, she wrote, "the record reflects that petitioner would have sought respondent's removal irrespective of his allegedly protected speech." She also said Paladino's attorneys presented no evidence that Paladino's right to free speech had been "chilled or otherwise impaired."
At a news conference, Buffalo Board President Barbara Seals-Nevergold said she hopes Paladino's departure will lead to more productive meetings for the board.
"There has been a lot that has occurred at this board table and outside that has really been due to the behavior of Mr. Paladino," Seals-Nevergold told reporters. "We're looking forward to being able to move forward without the distractions that have accompanied his behavior."
The commissioner dismissed three other petitions from others who sought Paladino's removal from the board because of his remarks about the Obamas on procedural grounds. In one case, which also requested removal of the superintendent and all other members of the school board, Elia ruled that the petition was not served properly; in the other two, Elia declared the requests moot, given her decision to remove Paladino as a result of the school board's petition.

"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matt. 6:21). Giving is a heart issue that gets to the core of what we believe...and what we want to become.
We believe giving is an act of worship, as we learn to respond in a very tangible way to the incredible generosity of God. We give out of grateful hearts in recognition that God owns everything, and we are to be faithful stewards of all He entrusts to us.
Giving Principles
- Because God owns everything, all that we have is a gift, entrusted to us to enjoy and steward. (1 Chron. 29:14; 1 Cor. 4:1)
- Every believer has a responsibility to support his or her home church financially. (Mal. 3:8-10; 1 Cor. 9:7-12; 1 Tim. 5:17-18)
- Every believer should prayerfully consider the biblical guideline of the tithe (10% of income) as a helpful starting point for learning how to give. (Gen. 14:18-20; Mal. 3:8-10; Matt. 23:23)
- Every believer can give biblically, regardless of income. The amount is not as important as the heart as one gives regularly, proportionally, generously, sacrificially and cheerfully. (1 Cor. 16:2; Acts 11:29; 2 Cor. 8:1-5; 2 Cor. 9:7)

Bachelor of Science (Technology) (Chemistry)
Faculty of Science and Engineering
With an excellent reputation for chemistry research, a relaxed campus, and a handful of scholarships on offer, former Saint John's College student Nicholas Kuan knew the University of Waikato was the right choice for him.
The opportunity to complete a summer research project after his first year of a BSc(Tech) has been a highlight for Nicholas, who says the new challenges he faced during the study meant he learnt a range of different chemistry techniques in a short period of time. Alongside experts in the field, his research project looked into the antibacterial properties of manuka honey.
The research investigated the limitations of a recently-published method for quantifying dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is one of the components involved when determining the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) of a sample of honey.
"I have a real interest in food chemistry and hope to work towards a career in this industry. However, at the moment I'm focused on learning the fundamentals of chemistry, alongside papers in physics, biological sciences and calculus."

(TNS) — Horry County Schools is working with state and federal investigators to determine exactly what to do about a computer virus that affected several servers across the district.
The virus doesn't steal any data from the computers, so no student, parent or school records were breached, according to district spokeswoman Teal Harding. The virus uses a high-level encryption to lock up data, then requires a key — with a monetary ransom — to unlock the data.
While the virus didn't disable any classes, Harding said, it did prevent some students from using the Internet for about a day.
"Their programs and applications still worked, so teachers just had to resort to more traditional methods of teaching," she said.
Some online applications, such as PowerSchool, are still deactivated. Parents will be alerted when everything is back up and running, Harding said.
The virus was discovered Monday morning, and the district proactively shut down servers to prevent the virus from spreading, Harding said. District staff are working on rebooting the computers, and everything is expected to be fully restored by next week, she said.
The virus came from another country, which is why state and federal investigators are involved, Harding said. It jumped into the district's computers through an old project management software that now houses project archives.
"We don't even use that software anymore," Harding said.
Once all the servers are back up, district staff must clean and restore data that's been encrypted. If the data has been backed up on a server, staff can restore it to computers, but those reboots are time-consuming and work intensive. It may just be more cost-effective to pay the "ransom" to restore data than for staff to manually restore everything, Harding said.
"Each school has servers, there's server hubs that are backups around the district, and some of this has to be manually brought back up one layer at a time," she said.
District staff are in discussions with investigators to determine whether or not to pay the "ransom," Harding said, and the amount of information that's already backed up is also a factor. If the district has to shell out to restore everything, it most likely will be between $7,000 to $8,000, she said.
Within this week and through next week, everything should be fully restored. There will be delays through next week on some features, but the team is slowly adding things.
"It's a lot of money, but between overtime and the team you're having to build, that cost pales in comparison," Harding said.
For now, teachers can still use some technology that was not infected by the virus. Some instructors are adjusting their lessons based on the situation, but Harding said Horry County teachers are creative and resilient.
"Teachers are some of the most adaptive people in the world," Harding said.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
I typically don't share details about the sexism I've faced at work. While educating others about the obstacles I've overcome is necessary to raise awareness, talking about them paints a picture to younger generations of a steep, uphill road that lies ahead. As if choosing a major and getting into college isn't tough enough, the idea that a girl has to prepare for battle when she enters the workforce seems a bit intimidating, especially in tech.
Is this the picture I want to paint for the next generation? No. Is that the reality for many women now? Yes, but not all. Will a 13-year-old girl face the same challenges I did? I don't know, but I'm doing my best to blaze the paths I can so she won't have to.
Here are a few snippets of sexism I've experienced:
But those remarks, though sexist, don't define the people who said them:
I'm not making excuses or justifications. These moments were definitely not high points in my career, and the struggles women face in the workplace are real. I'm only acknowledging that people have the capacity to change their behavior. Online forums aside, most of the sexism I've encountered in the workplace has been inadvertent or unconscious, which is less egregious, but can still be mentally exhausting and collectively takes a toll on women's success. In fact, in a 2015 study, 100% of black women and 93% of white women in STEM reported they had experienced gender bias.
If I could take a moment to echo Michelle Obama's call to action for men to help women achieve gender equality, my advice would be this: "Be better." Likewise, I think the phrase "be better" summarizes how I have personally dealt with sexism. I've surmounted challenges in my life because I've realized that I'm better than the assumptions made about me, and because others have realized I deserve better than the sexist comments or assumptions that were directed toward me.
In my specific case, I deal with sexism by picking my battles and treading lightly. It might not sound like the tactic of an equality warrior, but it's the risk level I'm willing to take professionally. We all make sexist assumptions or remarks—myself included—but we all have different levels of awareness. I gauge that level of awareness and craft my actions and words accordingly. If it's someone I think will be receptive to being confronted, then I will respectfully bring it up. If it's a comment from someone whom I rarely interact with professionally, I take a deep breath and move on. And in every case, I strive to prove them wrong.
Being on television has taught me how to be confident in my own skin—faults and all—striving to be irreverent about nonsensical judgment, while reverent toward constructive criticism that can better me and my career. But that didn't happen overnight, and it's a tall expectation for every woman in a workplace to have impermeable confidence. We all need to be better if we want our companies to be better.Do more than talk about diversity and disparity. Be a shining example of how women should be treated in the workplace by setting the standards and assumptions for others as you would set for yourself—and for your children.

Patek Philippe is arguably the most celebrated watch brand in history and certainly has the heritage and quality to back it up. It's reputation amongst watchmakers and collectors is unquestioned, yet to the more casual observer the brand may appear overly traditional, conservative, or just plain stuffy, especially if they're only using the Calatrava as a point of reference. Well Patek would not have such a reputation if they were just a one trick pony, and you can consider this Annual Calendar Gondolo as an official rebuttal.
While well known for their traditional clean dials and thin, round cases, this watch goes in a much bolder direction. The tonneau case is a much more modern shape than any Calatrava, and the Anthracite dial gives off a sporty contrast to the white gold case, but still looks neat enough to blend with traditional formal attire. The watch also features an annual calendar, and moonphase function, just in case you weren't sure if Patek knew their way around complications. This is a 21st century timepiece from a brand with centuries of tradition, and if that sounds like you, it may be time to try it on!

Couple of points: * You want to stuff the checksums in the id_tree, not the seq_tree. If you use the seq_tree you'll never be able to apply updates that get the checksums aligned. * Merkle trees are great for two-way synchronization, but it's not immediately clear to me how you'd use them to bootstrap a single source -> target replication.

Time in Norway: 5:26 AM
Make a search for products & suppliers, articles & news.
Oslo is in the throes of a major urban transformation. Museums will move. A new commercial business district will be erected. And all will come together by the seaside at Bjørvika, site of the first settlements which originally founded the 1,000 year-old city.
The city plans to develop close to 1 million square metres of residential, cultural, commercial, and office space at the eastern part of the Oslo fjord out of the old industrial port area of Bjørvika and into a thriving new centre. This is one of the biggest waterfront projects developed in Europe at the moment. The current heart of the city is located on the western side at Aker Brygge, the old shipyard area that was built into a high-end residential and commercial business district in the 1980s, a stone's throw from Oslo City Hall and the National Theatre. Aker Brygge will be a minor development compared to the grandiose plans that the city has laid out for Bjørvika. The municipality has rebranded Oslo the "Fjord City" and begun a harbour restructuring project stretching 10 kilometres along the fjord inner-city coastline that will shift the power base from the trendy western part of town around Aker Brygge eastwards to Oslo Central Station and Bjørvika.
Integrated Urban Planning The first major sign of this renewal was the completion of the new National Opera and Ballet House in April 2008. Once a dreary quay, a stunning glass and white marble cultural monument now overlooks the Oslo fjord with its bold and modern design. The architect behind the marvel is Snøhetta, the Norwegian company also known for the Alexandria Library in Egypt and the planned National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York. The Opera and Ballet House was recently awarded by the international jury at the World Architecture Festival (WAF) in Barcelona for the culture category. The next great development will be the completion of a huge new commercial business district behind the Opera House known as the Opera Quarter, previously known under the design concept the Bar Code because of the long, narrow plots of land and staggered eaves of the buildings. It's an architectural cacophony; no building will have the same materials as the one next to it. No building will look the same. The first tower to go up was a sleek, glass upside down U-shaped building for PriceWaterhouse Coopers. Next to it, a Spanish stone façade will house Visma, followed by a building for the Norwegian insurance group KLP. DnBNOR, Norway's largest bank, will move into three buildings by 2014, bringing together its numerous offices that are currently scattered throughout the city. New Commercial Business District Within the next eight years, up to 16 buildings in the Opera Quarter will house 10,000 workplaces, 450 apartments integrated among the buildings, and 20,000 square metres of restaurants and shops, the single largest collection of living and working space in all of Oslo. It will also be among the tallest with 17 stories, roughly 67 metres tall, more than double the height of the average building in town. "We are the new commercial business district," said Paul Lødøen, Chief Executive of Oslo Utvikling AS, the developers behind the Opera Quarter and one-third of the Bjørvika area. "In Norway, the Opera Quarter will be our skyscraper." The plan is to make the area a 24/7 live and work community where people can choose to raise a family in the city near their jobs, or commute easily from the suburbs directly into the central railway station. There will be office buildings, apartments, museums, parks, restaurants, shops, kindergartens, a new school, an underground parking system, and little car traffic. The city is re-routing the sprawling highway system that divides the central station from the seaside and building a new tunnel underneath the fjord that will connect the western part of the city to the east at Bjørvika by 2010. There will also be a footbridge from the Opera Quarter into Grønland that will connect this edgy, multicultural neighbourhood known for its varied ethnic restaurants and artsy cafes, with the new commercial business district at Bjørvika and Oslo Central Station. "You can do like it is in New York and live in New Jersey," said Lødøen. "You can take the train from Fredrikstad (100 kilometres south of Oslo) directly into town."
Cultural Epicentre That will just be the beginning. There are talks of building an aquarium by the Opera House and plans to move the Historical Museum (Kulturhistorisk Museum). They might as well given that they found 15 old Viking ships under the Opera Quarter while constructing the project. There are already plans for building a new Munch Museum, Stenersen Museum, and the Deichmanske Main Library alongside the Opera House and many more residences and offices. By the end of this grandiose project, there should be housing consisting of 5,000 apartments and 20,000 workplaces in the entire Bjørvika area. "An important goal for restructuring Bjørvika was that we would create a living community for the joy of the whole city, with a blend of housing, offices and art and cultural institutions that will attract locals, national and international visitors," says Stian Berger Røsland, Governing Mayor of Oslo, in connection with the 2008 decision to move the Munch and Stenersen museums down to Bjørvika and the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design to Vestbanen, the old western railway terminal station.

General Information
The Keep America Beautiful Great American Cleanup
is the nation's largest annual cleanup and community improvement event, which runs principally from March 1 through June 30, although it can involve year-round activities. The Great American Cleanup
stimulates community pride by involving residents, businesses, and civic groups at the state and local level in an effort to improve and beautify their local environment. It encourages volunteerism, personal action, and responsibility, and promotes the missions of the Keep America Beautiful organization: litter prevention, beautification, and waste reduction and recycling.
Activities can include litter cleanups, special recycling events, planting red flowers for a "Grow Big Red" garden, increased recycling collections, tree plantings, clothes collections, etc. Please register any event or activity you wish to do so we are able to keep track of everything happening in Nebraska and report them back to Keep America Beautiful.
Register your Great American Cleanup
activities now!
Download the 2017 Registration Form, print it out and fax it (402-486-4563), email it to email@example.com or mail it in!
Download the 2017 GAC Registration Form here.
Each year over 1,200 Keep America Beautiful affiliates, communities and participating organizations engage volunteers to take action in their communities through programs that deliver positive and lasting impact through events focused on waste reduction, recycling, beautification and community greening.
Great American Cleanup
Project Ideas
The Great American Cleanup
focuses not only on litter removal and litter prevention, but also on other local community improvement initiatives such as Grow Big Red flower gardens, neighborhood beautification projects, and recycling initiatives. By offering many different ways to participate, the Great American Cleanup
hopes to get more and more people involved. Keep America Beautiful believes that hands-on involvement can really influence changes in attitude and behavior that affect our environment.
Litter Cleanup
Litter is a huge problem that plagues all our cities. The Great American Cleanup
helps to bring attention to your community's litter problem so that volunteers can be recruited to remove litter from public lands and neighborhoods during the event. The Great American Cleanup
also hopes to create a lasting awareness of the importance of litter control that will continue throughout the year.
Grow Big Red
Communities and organizations are encouraged to plant red or red and white flower gardens to show pride in our State and pride in our communities.
Graffiti Removal and Neighborhood Beautification Projects
In communities where graffiti is a recurring problem, the Great American Cleanup
encourages painting over defaced public buildings and areas to restore beauty and send the message that graffiti will not be tolerated there.
In addition to cleanups and paint-outs, the Great American Cleanup
is also a forum to incorporate the "greening" of each community with projects to plant flowers (particularly red flowers for Grow Big Red gardens) and trees.
Clothes Collection
Collecting clothes for the reuse by the needy is another Great American Cleanup
activity that fits right into goals to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Drop-off sites around the community are designated for clothing collection. After collection, the clothing is donated to local charities, shelters, and other social service organizations.
