This has become the year of branding yourself. The year of selfies, the year of feminism and the year of self love. Social media influenced us and our environment. From the presidential election to the products we buy and where we buy it. I remember a time when Instagram just came out and people were truly interested in the artsy photos you took. Yes, that is still true today but the whole sociable aspect of it has changed, it's become a way to brand yourself, to make yourself extraordinarily unique.
1. Social media influenced us and our environment.
In what ways has social media influenced us? Let's talk about the recent political election, let's not pretend that some were so "involved" by sharing a video to promote their candidate of choice. Did it actually change a person's view? Did these videos help people change their whole perspective on a single person? I believe it's extremely hard to change one's mind these days through the resources that have come easily available to us but also aren't extremely reliable.
2. The internet brings the future to the present and the present into the future.
Kids these days are most likely up to if not more up to speed with young adults on political issues and pop-culture. The internet has helped these kids bring them on relevant topics and bring more self-awareness in themselves obviously and in their world. The internet also drives us all to the future, bringing all of us to make assumptions and forecasts for"what the next big thing is."
Now wait wait.
I'm not speaking about everyone but to those that involve themselves in the Instagram world, and it is a whole type of world to get into, we've become branding machines. We love to associate ourselves with different brands that give off a perspective of how we want to be to others. Say a person associates themselves with Kanye, dress themselves in Off-White, Vetements, and owns a Kylie lip-kit. This person is seriously influenced by social media and these brands give this person a slight coolness to her and now has a streetwear aesthetic. Now we're placing people in boxes, different sections of class and dividing us into separate groups. We begin the think that we actually need these things to make us look like that or this. We start consuming and become loyal consumers. This is the year of advertising has successful integrated their brands to influence consumers through influencers, a leader who exemplifies the way we want to live and become through their perception they give off through social media.
I'm starting to believe that consuming all these products to give off a perception of yourself is a little overwhelming. It is beautiful to see artistic work in fashion and photography but when influencers become advertisements it becomes overbearing and a little fake. From the business aspect, it's genius, it is literally so genius. But it's almost like consumers have been so accustomed to this that we are so totally easily persuaded into these materialistic goods. I want to start living minimally, focusing on my career and saving for an actual future that is becoming so near. What I'm saying is that the more I observe social media it has evolved into a selling machine and has taken advantage of peoples online creative expression. Online creativity will always be there and I'm not saying it's gone, in fact its grown, but I think it's become a way for advertisements the soul reason to sneak up into our daily lives. It has and it always will, just find the light and strength to be influenced by things that will help yourself be a better person then rather consuming and hoarding shit you really don't need and care about.

Oxford University is facing criticism after officials suggested the generosity of students had led to a rise in the number of rough sleepers in the city.
In an attempt to rid the university of its Bullingdon Club image, Oxford sent an email to students in an attempt to curb the practice of "trashing", an undergraduate tradition involving covering each other in champagne and food after final exams.
It has become so unruly that the university says it cost £25,000 each year in security and cleanup costs.
The email also said the waste of food involved added to the stress of people sleeping rough in the city, whose number has doubled in the last year.
It also implied, however, that the goodwill of students was a contributory factor in the increase. "Oxford's students have a highly developed social conscience, as is evident from the number of homeless people who come to seek assistance in this city. Needless waste of food is an aggravation of their distress," it said.
The email, which was sent by the university's senior proctor, Prof Mark Edwards, and the junior proctor, Cécile Fabre, went on to complain that trashing was harming the reputation of the university, as it portrayed "the whole of Oxford [as] one giant Bullingdon Club".
"This is unlikely to have a positive effect on applications from underprivileged minorities," it said.
Students flagged up the email on social media to express their incredulity at the suggestion that homeless people were drawn to the city because of the generosity of students.
Defending the email in Cherwell, the Oxford student newspaper, Edwards said: "The fact that homeless people come to Oxford from elsewhere is clearly acknowledged. This is a credit to the city's excellent facilities, but also, we believe, to the generosity of students, townsfolk and tourists."
The university played down the comments, insisting the email was primarily aimed at curbing trashing. A statement said: "The overall intention of the proctors was to appeal to the social and environmental consciences of Oxford students, urging them to consider the impact of the waste and inconvenience caused by trashing."
Jane Cranston, a former high sheriff of Oxfordshire who now chairs an inquiry into rough sleeping in the city, said the proctors were right to highlight the well-developed social conscience of students, but added: "To suggest that homeless people are attracted to Oxford because of it is a more questionable statement. Oxford has a reputation as a 'safe' city for homeless people and many people, including the city council, the county council, many charities, the churches, students and members of the public contribute a great deal of time, care and professionalism to tackling this distressing social problem."
Alex Kumar, the chair of Oxford student union's homelessness campaign, accused the university of trying to "cynically weaponise Oxford's homelessness crisis as an attack on students".
He added: "One cannot view the escalating homelessness crisis in this country as detached from the housing crisis – a crisis exaggerated, even driven, by speculation on the housing market and the ownership of property throughout this country increasingly in the hands of few, as demonstrated by recent revelations about the grand scope of property held by the university across this entire country."
Linda Smith, the deputy leader of Oxford city council, said the rise in rough sleeping in the city was driven by government cuts to mental health and substance addiction services.
"It is a national problem. We didn't have this problem on our streets of Oxford 10 years ago," she said. "Belatedly the government has woken up to this and Oxford was awarded £500,000 last week.
"We already fund 167 beds and we will be expanding our provision to fund an extra 64 beds next winter. We want to get to a position where nobody has to sleep rough on the streets of Oxford."
Asked whether rough sleeping was linked to the generosity of students, Smith said: "Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm not going to suggest that people should not give to beggars."

Backfired, your plan,
Deceived by your own senses,
A lie, so well planned,
But, remained only in the making.
Naive, sure I looked,
But you should have seen what you missed,
I was right there standing besides you,
Without a tear in my eye or a smile on my lips.
So how would your read me?
Oh you tried so hard,
To show what you dont remotely feel..
So I knew your trap since the start..
Shattered, your senile hopes,
Out in the open, your motives..
Lost control, of your own game
So now why are you running?
Many have come, many have gone,
You were just one among the crowd..
Remember I will, your face.
Tripped, in your own race..
"I keep gettin lost in your eyes,
My love, Do you have a map?"
Thats what You had said,
Now, you are caught in your own trap...!

Morning Wood
Brewery: Local Option Bierwerker
Style: Amber Ale
Alcohol: 7.1%
Country: USA
Coffee beers are usually darker styles. Stouts, porters, even brown ales, have the malt profile to stand up to the relatively intense flavor contributions of coffee. Lately though, lighter styles have been experimented with, like this amber. I will be honest, it was the name that caught my attention first. Not only is it a slightly crass attention grabbing name, I had also just discussed this same name with a friend for his coffee stout. I guess there are plenty of people with dirty minds like ours! So anyway this beer will obviously have a lot going on. Oaked coffee amber ale is not something you see everyday. In fact I am pretty sure that combo is unique to this particular beer. maybe for good reason? Guess I will find out.
Pours a dirty amberish color. I guess you could call it a red ale, if by red you mean slightly dirty coppery brown. Massive skummy dirty white head that coats the glass in thick rings of lacing. The smell is coffee central, like fresh grounds in the bottom of a french press. Oh or it is like a beer that has sat on a lot of ground coffee. Maybe a touch of oak in the smell, a hint of wood, but also maybe my imagination. The taste is all about the coffee, I really can't taste much of anything else. This was a little cold, so I let it warm hoping that would bring out the nuance. Warmth brings out the oak a bit, but the malt is still mostly hidden. While I usually enjoy a strong coffee presence in my beer, it is just confusing here. An amber should have some definite caramel and maltiness to it, and an amber with oak should really have some nuance. This is a one trick java pony. It does have a nice medium high-ish body, which I like as a lot of these heavy on the coffee beers are a bit watery in the mouth. Long lasting aftertaste with a decent amount of bitterness, which I think might hide the smoother oak tones. A bit of woody vanilla makes it through here and there. All in all a little too overpowering with the coffee, but I enjoy the concept. A darker style might give a few more nuances, or a little less coffee. Mixed bag for me.

New Jersey Least Corrupt? Ha, Ha
The flawed methodology behind the recent 'State Integrity Investigation.'
Exaggerated claims about political corruption from self-styled good-government groups are nothing new. Often they're made with no data to back them up. Perhaps more dangerous is when the claims are supported with bad data, yet reported faithfully by the media with little scrutiny.
So it is with the study released last month by a consortium led by the Center for Public Integrity, which concludes that of all 50 states, the one with the lowest risk of political corruption is . . . New Jersey....

TO004 – Tool 004 – Qualifiers
Use these qualifiers on charts that need to be categorized in a special way.These qualifiers will not come in as editable text, so you can size them any way you like.They come in as a set so you can size them all at once, which will make them consistent throughout the presentation/document.
When you bring the set in, ungroup them a couple of times, remove the background field if necessary, and regroup the individual qualifiers before you copy them onto the page you are qualifying.It is important to remember that charts that present real data need to have sources, even if it your company's own analysis.Those charts that are not real data need to be qualified as an estimate, illustrative, etc.This type of qualifier will lend to the credibility of the message being delivered.

While I admire Art's decision to try and make amends, I can't help but feel like such a course of action would only result in making matters worse. This woman went off the deep end once already, how do they expect things to go after they hand her a dirt encrusted, half rotted dummy that has been buried in the ground for... how many years, now? and a side of "we're sorry". Granted, I believe there would be a slim chance that she would simply take the dummy in her arms and run off with it, completely forgetting the guys are there, but I also believe the chances of winning lotto are higher.
On the flip side, at least they'll have an already dug grave top be put into. Well, at least one of them will, anyway.

On the Registry: This Novelist's Husband Just Wanted a Food Dehydrator
With On the Registry, we dive into wedding wish lists, talking to women about what they wanted, and what they learned from the gifts they got.
Hermione Hoby is a London-born, Greenpoint-based freelance journalist and author of the recently published (and rave-reviewed) Neon in Daylight. When she isn't on tour for her début novel, she's working as a celebrity profiler for the Guardian, and penning her Stranger of the Week column for The Awl, which will (sadly) only hang on until the end of the month.
Over two cups of piping hot, espresso-flavored oat milk at Five Leaves, we talked about the conventions of marriage, the dehydrator she never knew she was missing, and also about bowls. Lots and lots of bowls.
What was your wedding like?
We got married at Pioneer Works in 2015. It's an arts and music space, but we referred to it as the godless cathedral because it's this big beautiful, cavernous hall with no religious affiliation whatsoever. We got married in the garden, and had the dinner inside at long tables. And we really just enlisted all our friends to help.
How so?
The point of the wedding is having your friends support, rooting for you and your relationship. We had this wonderful friend of ours, Nick Nauman, who's a chef, do the catering. We had five different friends DJ. We had a friend officiate. We had friends do readings. My sister-in-law did flowers, another friend designed the menus. And we had speeches, which I know people hate, but were actually one of my favorite parts of the wedding. I love them. I think they're so important.
How many guests?
So we aimed for 80, but we had 180.
The dress?
I wore yellow. Which was important to me because while white dresses are beautiful they, to me, felt very problematic. I was just troubled by white as this symbol of virginity and the sexual double standard. There are just so many wedding traditions, once you get into it, which are quite objectionable. So we had both our parents walk us down the aisle. Maybe it looked ridiculous, but it felt beautiful. Being flanked on both sides. I also just love yellow! It's just such a joyous color.
Did the registry feel similarly problematic?
Yes. I felt very uncomfortable with it at first. Because at this joyous moment, you're asking all these people to give! It just felt a bit vulgar. But everyone I spoke to said I had to, because people actually like gift giving when they care about the person. I was told that I shouldn't deny them the joy of celebrating me and my husband, so, well, I didn't!
How did it work? Did you use a service? Go all out, scanner guns-style?
We didn't do the scanner guns, though that sounds so fun. We used this program called Zola, where you can pull in anything from anywhere on the internet. It turned out to be quite fun as one of my greatest somnambulant joys, especially if I'm physically unwell, is to online window shop. But there was guilt surrounding the fact that it said so explicitly, Hey! These are my material wants!
Were you worried about your registry reflecting on you?
Oh god, yes. You think, Will people judge my taste? Will people judge me for putting expensive things on there? In my mind, I figured I'd put on a real range of gifts, so that people with different budgets could choose their items according to their price point. I sort of just put everything on there. And in slightly disappointing, heteronormative fashion, I couldn't get Michael, my husband, as interested in the project as I was.
Well, not the worst predicament…
Right. But I really wanted him to at least put something down. So I was finally like, here's the moment...go click! And he expressed a desire for a dehydrator.
Not sure what that is!
Neither did I, my friend...But it's this thing you can make dried fruit in. And to his delight, tofu jerky? And I was like, You do realize no one is going to buy this. It's ugly and has a curious purpose.
And were you right? Did it go unpurchased?
I was wrong. My beloved friend Matt, who's in the UK, asked this question so wonderfully and explicitly: Is there something on your registry that you want but that you know no one will get that I can buy for you? And I was like, funny you ask...
Did you avoid practical items from there on out?
Well, the thing is, people want to give you something beautiful. Something special. Not the practical things. Unless they're pretty and practical. Like nice bowls.
Did you focus on any stores in particular?
The bowls I love are from canvas. The gold knives and forks, gold plated—I want to stress that they don't look Trump-y—are Anthropologie. The Turkish towels are Coyuchi. Not sure what brand the dehydrator is…
What was a favorite item?
These beautiful Turkish towels. And a Vitamix! Which I can say I use every day and am very grateful for its utilitarian purpose.
Most luxurious gift?
Well, one of the most exciting gifts was a pair of shoes. My friend Osh was like, I just want to buy you your wedding shoes. So we just went shopping together and got these insane Saint Laurent, tan suede, very "extra" high heels. So gorgeous. He had the benefit of being a close friend. So he could sort of say, fuck your registry, let's go shopping.
Were they comfortable?
Well, I think joy is a great pain reliever. Prosecco's good, too. I just felt nothing but delight all night.
Did people give you cash?
Yes! I was surprised and delighted. It was really so generous, especially to those who travelled. People just wrote checks. Older people, mostly. Because most of my younger friends are impoverished readers and writers working in the lucrative industries of journalism and publishing!
Any other pleasant deviations from the registry?
My friend Max got me a first edition copy of "Infinite Jest." And he gave Michael his decks for his DJ'ing.
At one point, when I was feeling so uncomfortable about putting a list of my wants out into the world, I thought: should we ask everyone to bring a book? Cute idea, but really glad we didn't do it.
Did you get your gifts before or after the wedding?
I think most of them came before we got married. Which was sort of funny. Like getting birthday presents early, you feel a bit cheeky.
Did having a registry teach you anything about your friend group?
I think every gift reflects the giver. I could have guessed who had chosen what without a signature. Gift giving is just such a magically human thing. It's this unique insight into human behavior. This desire to provide other people with something special, something permanent. Something that endures.

text: Anna and Greg met in language class a few years ago. Anna caught Greg's eye and it didn't take long for him to ask her out. Fast forward a few years, and they both tied the knot in a sweet and simple ceremony in the month of June and wanted to have a few pictures taken to celebrate them having said "I do". They wanted their pictures to be taken at a place which they spent a lot of time at and meant a great deal to both of them. They decided Karmelitermarkt, in Vienna's 2nd district, was that place. They don't live very far from this hidden farmer's market but every Saturday they venture out to this spot to get some shopping done while enjoying the outdoor marketplace and while spending time with their favourite person, each other. So in the midst of the bustle of the busy market we captured some precious moments.

- The first-ever Dunkin' Donuts is still operating in Quincy, albeit with its original sign.
- Unsold food gets donated after closing.
- There are over 15,000 food and drink combinations on the menu.
Ever wondered if there was more to Dunkin' than just the pink and orange letters? Well, the coffee staple has a lot of tricks up its sleeve that would surprise even the most avid Dunkin' drinker. In a recent article, a franchise owner shared some fun facts about the company. As a huge lover of this coffee place myself, I felt compelled to share the knowledge with you. Hope you enjoy this Dunkin' trivia!
1. The first restaurant is still in operation
Planning a trip to Massachusetts anytime soon? If you answered yes, then drive to Quincy and visit the very first shop that started it all. With a vintage sign as you enter this sacred building, you'll feel like you're going back in time.
2. All of the unsold food is donated after closing
Yep, that's right! All of the bagels, donuts, and muffins we don't purchase are all donated to a donation partner that varies for each franchise. Next time when you're debating adding that donut to your daily coffee order, know that either way, someone is going to be happy.
3. Anything on the menu is customizable
As a picky eater myself, this is something that has been amazing for me. Never feel weird about saying, "Can I have that with no cheese?" or asking for "light butter." The employees can change anything within reason that you want on the menu.
4. The yearly sales reach the billions
Securing themselves about 8 billion dollars in sales annually puts Dunkin' in the top 100 list of companies in the world. They beat other major food chains like Chick-fil-a and Chipotle with yearly sales. What is amazing is that these numbers only come from the United States, not to mention the other countries that "run on Dunkin'."
5. You can order a different drink each day for the rest of your life
There are more than 15,000 drink combinations on the menu. Well, maybe not the rest of your life but for roughly forty years, your morning beverage could be an entirely new experience.
6. There's a DD black card
These cards are mostly held by celebrities, but anyone has the opportunity to earn one. Although no proven path has been shown to get one, Dunkin' has reported that it is open to all customers. I have never had an itching desire to pay the copious amount of fees that come with a real black card, but for Dunkin', I would.
7. Dunkin' sells 30 cups of coffee every second
This amounts to about 1.7 billion cups of both iced and hot coffee every year. TBH I don't know if I could keep up with that kind of speed if I worked there. Hats off to the Dunkin' employees.
Wow! These are some insane facts about the coffee chain we all know and love. Dunkin' to me is what gas is to a car ... MUCH NEEDED. After hearing all of this, the first thing that I'm going to do is make sure I get on track for my DD Black Card, because that just topped going abroad on my college bucket list.

Godrej Consumer eyes emerging markets
Mumbai: India's Godrej conglomerate is looking to make acquisitions in big emerging markets including China, South Africa and Brazil, and expects affordable housing in India to be a key driver of its real estate business.
Adi Godrej, who is chairman of the Godrej group of companies, said the group's property business, a unit of Godrej Industries that plans an IPO, is likely to account for about 30% of group profit in two to three years, from about 10% now.
"The real estate market in India is the largest market we play in for any of our business. We believe the demand especially for affordable housing is huge. We expect real estate to grow faster than any of our other businesses," he told Reuters Television in an interview at his office in central Mumbai.
Godrej Properties, which has vast land holdings in Mumbai, has tapped investment banks Kotak Mahindra and ICICI Securities to underwrite an initial public offering of a 10% stake in the next three months, Godrej said last week.
Godrej Consumer Products Ltd would consider raising debt or selling equity to institutional investors to fund acquisitions in the hair care and personal care products segments, the chairman said.
"Godrej Consumer Products is looking for more acquisitions in developing countries with large populations, like China, South Africa and Brazil," he said.
Last year, Godrej bought the South African hair care brand "Kinky".
The Godrej group has yearly sales of about $2.2 billion and generates about 25% of its business overseas, a share that the third-generation patriarch of the family business expects to maintain.
The Godrej group's businesses include hair care products, chicken processing, pest control, palm oil, furniture and real estate.
Godrej said the group intends to maintain growth at about 20 to 22% a year, with organic growth accounting for about three-quarters of that expansion and acquisitions driving the remainder.

The Recipe Rebel
On Saturday Lauren and I made the drive out to Austin Manitoba to spend the day with Ashley, otherwise known as the Recipe Rebel. Ashley is an English teacher turned food blogger who has seen a wave of recent success! Long story short, we connected with Ashley through Instagram and ended up brainstorming an idea for an brand video.
The Recipe Rebel started when a friend of Ashley's set up a website and encouraged her to begin uploading her 'famous' non-conventional recipes. One thing led to another, and the Recipe Rebel was born. With a following numbering into the hundreds of thousands, Ashley is well on her way to food blogger stardom! We are confident that the partnership between Prairie Film Co. and the Recipe Rebel will lead to a stronger, more unified brand image over at thereciperebel.com.
In an attempt to diversify the Recipe Rebel's web presence we've taken on the task of crafting a brand video which will highlight the story behind the Recipe Rebel as well as encourage readers to regularly engage with the site.
Stay tuned to see more from Prairie Film Co. and the Recipe Rebel!

TAP Takes to the Mountains
William and Mary's Tribe Adventure Program took to the mountains this past Fall Break in a soaking wet, pony filled rock climbing journey. Not ones to be deterred by some mild downpours, our fearless climbers attacked the Grayson Highlands boulders in far western Virginia. When bucked off the rock by nature's slippery resistance, they strapped their pads and packs right back on and headed out into the backcountry near Mt. Rogers to be greeted by a string of wild ponies native to the highland wilderness, averaging around 4800 feet in elevation. Though mother earth was not at her kindest this past weekend, the participants and the trip leaders managed to have a great time and all came back unscathed with great big (sopping wet) smiles.

Tags: Christmas Collection, Dior, Launch
Yet another stunning Christmas collection I feel I must share with you. This one by Dior is wonderfully festive and of course inspired by Dior's Grand Ball. There isn't a thing in this collection I wouldn't be delighted to own.
The star of the collection is the amazing Grand Bal Palette. A hefty £60, this is stunning. Two eyeshadows, two glosses and a black liner. Beautiful.
My favourite things are the lashes…. so stunning. £19.
Then there are four Diorific Vernis, £20 each, Top to bottom are Marilyn, Diva, Diorling and Lady. I would particularly like Lady and Diva.
Then there are four Diorific Lipsticks, Diorling, Diva, Lad and Marilyn, each a different shade of red. £25 each.
There are two 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palettes, in Night Golds and Fairy Golds. Both £40 each. I'll take both please!
Finally there are two Dior Addict Ultra Gloss, a gold and a red, £21 Each, Lame Gold and Ceremony Red.
Finally, there's a Loose Powder in Gold Dust…I'd love this but in reality I don't have any excuses to wear such a beautiful product. £31.50, I don't have an image for that one sadly.
A truly truly glamorous collections with they palettes and lashes really appealling. To me, this collection screams Christmas party. Beautiful!
I pretty much love all of this – so far I've just got the lashes but I want more!
I just bought the Grand Bal palette for a very good friend. It's really lovely, the 2 eyeshadows are very beautiful and pigmented.
The nail varnish bottles are to die for, I'd consider buying just to have them to look at without wanting to ruin them by using the polish! xx

Capacity of a set
In mathematics, the capacity of a set in Euclidean space is a measure of that set's "size". Unlike, say, Lebesgue measure, which measures a set's volume or physical extent, capacity is a mathematical analogue of a set's ability to hold electrical charge. More precisely, it is the capacitance of the set: the total charge a set can hold while maintaining a given potential energy. The potential energy is computed with respect to an idealized ground at infinity for the harmonic or Newtonian capacity, and with respect to a surface for the condenser capacity.
Historical note[edit]
The notion of capacity of a set and of "capacitable" set was introduced by Gustave Choquet in 1950: for a detailed account, see reference (Choquet 1986).
Condenser capacity[edit]
Let Σ be a closed, smooth, (n − 1)-dimensional hypersurface in n-dimensional Euclidean space ℝn, n ≥ 3; K will denote the n-dimensional compact (i.e., closed and bounded) set of which Σ is the boundary. Let S be another (n − 1)-dimensional hypersurface that encloses Σ: in reference to its origins in electromagnetism, the pair (Σ, S) is known as a condenser. The condenser capacity of Σ relative to S, denoted C(Σ, S) or cap(Σ, S), is given by the surface integral
- u is the unique harmonic function defined on the region D between Σ and S with the boundary conditions u(x) = 1 on Σ and u(x) = 0 on S;
- S′ is any intermediate surface between Σ and S;
- ν is the outward unit normal field to S′ and
- is the normal derivative of u across S′; and
- σn = 2πn⁄2 ⁄ Γ(n ⁄ 2) is the surface area of the unit sphere in ℝn.
C(Σ, S) can be equivalently defined by the volume integral
The condenser capacity also has a variational characterization: C(Σ, S) is the infimum of the Dirichlet's energy functional
over all continuously-differentiable functions v on D with v(x) = 1 on Σ and v(x) = 0 on S.
Harmonic/Newtonian capacity[edit]
Heuristically, the harmonic capacity of K, the region bounded by Σ, can be found by taking the condenser capacity of Σ with respect to infinity. More precisely, let u be the harmonic function in the complement of K satisfying u = 1 on Σ and u(x) → 0 as x → ∞. Thus u is the Newtonian potential of the simple layer Σ. Then the harmonic capacity (also known as the Newtonian capacity) of K, denoted C(K) or cap(K), is then defined by
If S is a rectifiable hypersurface completely enclosing K, then the harmonic capacity can be equivalently rewritten as the integral over S of the outward normal derivative of u:
The harmonic capacity can also be understood as a limit of the condenser capacity. To wit, let Sr denote the sphere of radius r about the origin in ℝn. Since K is bounded, for sufficiently large r, Sr will enclose K and (Σ, Sr) will form a condenser pair. The harmonic capacity is then the limit as r tends to infinity:
The harmonic capacity is a mathematically abstract version of the electrostatic capacity of the conductor K and is always non-negative and finite: 0 ≤ C(K) < +∞.
The characterization of the capacity of a set as the minimum of an energy functional achieving particular boundary values, given above, can be extended to other energy functionals in the calculus of variations.
Divergence form elliptic operators[edit]
Solutions to a uniformly elliptic partial differential equation with divergence form
are minimizers of the associated energy functional
subject to appropriate boundary conditions.
The capacity of a set E with respect to a domain D containing E is defined as the infimum of the energy over all continuously-differentiable functions v on D with v(x) = 1 on E; and v(x) = 0 on the boundary of D.
The minimum energy is achieved by a function known as the capacitary potential of E with respect to D, and it solves the obstacle problem on D with the obstacle function provided by the indicator function of E. The capacitary potential is alternately characterized as the unique solution of the equation with the appropriate boundary conditions.

I want to share something I learned about trust today. As humans, we have a desire to build trust with others both at home and at work. We spend a great deal of time and energy in workshops learning to trust others; we learn how to demonstrate that we listen to them effectively as one way to gain their trust and the skill set goes on from there.
There are also oodles of large legal practices focused completely on Trusts of one sort or another. We can choose to legally grant our trust to another person or entity to manage something of significant importance for us after we are no longer here on this earth. That's a lot of trust!
What I've learned is the most important person that we can build trust with is ourselves. Yet sometimes instead of trusting ourselves we look to others to grant us permission to do what we believe to be the best way to handle a situation. We may even be in a role where we guide people everyday on how to handle situations and we teach them to trust themselves. Then out of the blue, we need to make a decision about what we want to say or do and instantly the doubting sets in. We become foggy on what to do, will it be "right", what will others think about my decision, until we are paralyzed and don't' do anything. I don't know about you but this is the worst feeling in the world for me. It feels awful.
Imagine what it would feel like to trust yourself enough to say what is on your mind in a respectful way. To trust that your words and your thoughts matter and they could be the catalyst of change in a way no one else has ever thought about before. The more you trust the more confidence you gain and the higher you will soar.
Over the years, I have continually exercised and strengthened my muscle of trust by being willing to create changes in my life and make decisions to move myself forward. Trusting doesn't mean that all of those changes and decisions ended up to be the best of choices, however it does mean that I know I can always figure it out no matter what happens. The more I trust the less I get stuck and the more I am able to enjoy life as the adventure and journey as it is intended to be. Life isn't about reaching a destination for me, cause once I'm there I already have a something new in my sights to zoom in on. Life is totally about the adventure and the ride!
One of the ways that I've built this muscle is by doing this:
When I get the urge to ask someone else permission to do or say something, I pause and ask myself, "What if I just trusted myself?" I encourage you to try it out and see what happens for you.
As a life-long learner, this is like doing an experiment for me, I repeat what works and feels good and I change what isn't working and feels yucky. Each of us is incredibly strong and wise. The more we trust in ourselves the more we realize the power and resilience we have within us.
What will you trust yourself to do or say today?

One of the exotic nut that is a wonder food but not very often used, may be due to its bitter taste or to its appearance or what so ever. Though we know that Walnuts have numerous health benefits, we end up limiting the quantity of usage either for topping or for tossing a few into our mouth, but we do not use them regularly.
Numerous researches concluded that using them regularly is crucial for the benefit. Some of the health benefits of walnuts are
1. Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which may improve blood lipids and other cardiovascular disease risk factors.
2. Adding walnuts to the diet may benefit bone health
3. Studies have found that a diet supplemented with walnuts may positively impact individuals with diabetes.
4. Walnuts may be linked to improved cognitive and motor function.(brain food)
5. Research is showing that walnuts may help fight certain types of cancer.
To make walnut ladoo, I have used coconut palm sugar which is a healthy substitute for refined sugar. Jaggery or palm sugar can also be used. Palm sugar is unrefined and unbleached which allows it to retain all of its original nutrients. Palm sugar made from coconut trees is a low GI sweetener and is considered healthier than white and brown sugar. It is rich in potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, phosphorus, nitrogen and sodium .Potassium and nitrogen help prevent cardiovascular disease. Magnesium and sodium are necessary for proper nerve function, and zinc increases brain function. Iron is necessary for blood health and a strong immune system — to help stay well and recover from illnesses. The phosphorus in coconut palm sugar helps kidneys function and promotes cell health.

From all of us at the St. Charles History Museum, we would like to thank the hundreds of visitors we had at our spring exhibit: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Actions: St. Charles and the Underground Railroad. Our dedicated museum staff spent hundreds of hours researching local connections to the freedom-seeking movement of the mid-1800s.
Preservation Month Highlighted the People, Places, and Things That Define St. Charles
Learning from St. Charles' Past to Build its Future
For those of us who call St. Charles home, we can learn from the people who settled here before us and their stories; their strengths, dreams, decisions and accomplishments, sprinkled with their struggles and disappointments. Consider that someday, we will be part of a future story with our own legacies.
Fact vs. Fiction: The Story of John Farnsworth and Local Civil War Era Figures
Researching the Underground Railroad can be incredibly frustrating at times, as we often run into dead ends due to the scarcity and secrecy of sources. The abolitionist movement was a dangerous cause to stand with, especially to those that were actively helping escaped slaves. Leaving behind evidence of abolitionist activity could have been deadly back then, and now makes research and finding the cold hard truth difficult.
January 2019 Annual Shutdown Recap
For the third year in a row, we temporarily closed our doors to the public in order to complete important projects around the Museum. Over the four weeks, we had nearly 30 helpful volunteers contribute their efforts. While there are still projects to be finished, January 2019 Shutdown was a complete success!

The True Location of Langum Park Written by Jennifer Trail
Research Part 1
The area of Langum Woods, near the east bank of the Fox River, has had a few names in the past few centuries: 55 Acres, Camp Kane, and now Langum Park. The area has quite a rich history, dating back to the Civil War. The southern end of Langum Park is dedicated with a memorial for Camp Kane. When I read about Camp Kane, I started to wonder where exactly camp Kane was located. I started researching the area to see what the area of St. Charles looked like in the 1860s and what remains of those buildings today.
Camp Kane was located in and near Langum Woods but the exact location is unclear without evidence. The following information along with reference to a map of St. Charles from the 1860's helps achieve a better understanding of where the camp was located. I started off searching the internet for what I could find about Camp Kane. I quickly learned that the camp was located on land that Col. John Farnsworth had owned on the east bank of the Fox River. The land sat between the Fox River and 7th avenue. The St. Charles Library website also mentioned that the camp is in the location of today's Langum Park. I then went to the museum's primary sources to see if I could confirm and narrow down the location of the camp. In reading various primary documents about Camp Kane, such as books, brochures, letters, and journals, I further strengthened the beliefs of the location that my previous sources had stated.
From reading a statement in a book about the history of the Illinois 8th Cavalry Regiment, which was stationed at Camp Kane, I concluded that the camp must have been north of the Farnsworth mansion because when the regiment marched south to Geneva it was necessary for them to pass opposite of Col. Farnsworth's mansion. Although the Farnsworth mansion no longer stands today, as it was torn down in late 1992, the location of the mansion was on the west side of the river on top of the hill overlooking where the Mount St. Mary's park is today. I thought I knew a potential location for the camp until I read these next few sentences from the Camp Kane dedication brochure from 1982
"McCauley's stone quarry bordered the property on the north; on the far east as the South Cemetery (7th Avenue Cemetery) where Evan Shelby and other early pioneers are buried. In between was a large stand of timber known for years by local residents as "55 Acres," and now known as Langum Park. The clearing was along the east bank of the Fox River"
I knew where the South Cemetery was and the Fox River, but I didn't know the location of the McCauley's quarry. My next step was to uncover the location of the quarry. I soon came across a history of the McCauley family of St. Charles. The author, Ken McCandless believed he had found the location of the quarry at the junction of 5th and Riverside Avenue, and at first, I also believed this was the location of the quarry.
After hours of sorting through the museum's photographs and primary documents, I became stuck with no idea what to search for next. Perhaps this meant I was done with my long and difficult journey locating Camp Kane. I reflected on my research journey and began to realize many of the sources I read were 2nd hand accounts. I wasn't reading the evidence, I was reading about the evidence. In search of this original evidence, I went to the Kane County Government buildings to discover more. While I was there I looked at old maps, aerial maps, and deeds from the late 1800s. I found evidence that contradicted and proved my original ideas wrong.
Research Part 2
One of the most surprising things I learned was one that contradicted what many people had written about Camp Kane and Col. Farnsworth. Many people believed that the camp was set up on land that Farnsworth had bought in 1858. There is no record of Farnsworth owning land on the east side of the Fox River. The deed that I found for Farnsworth buying property in 1858 was for land on the west side of the river where the mansion was later built. The land that people assumed was owned by Farnsworth, was actually owned by a farmer named Ortho W. Perkins. Colonel Farnsworth was a well-respected man and most likely asked Perkins to use the land for the Civil War and Perkins agreed. This could be a reason for why there is no record of a land transaction. I even remembered a quote I read which mentioned the soldiers being camped on a part of the Perkins farm. Before seeing the evidence I had quickly overlooked that statement.
When looking at some maps from the mid-1900s, there was a land feature that caught my eye. In the area of Langum Park where the baseball fields are now, was a landfill area. If there was an area to discard unneeded tailings and dirt, it is quite likely that this was the area of the quarry. I viewed an aerial photo from 1939 which showed an area which looks like a stone pit on the northeast corner of Langum Park. This seems like a much more likely location for the quarry than the area Ken McCandless said the quarry was. The block between 5th Ave and Riverside Ave is much too small to be a quarry.
At this time, I rethought my theory about Camp Kane being located north of Colonel Farnsworth's mansion. The soldiers passed his house when they marched south to Geneva. I know before the regiment left there was a ceremony to show them off. This ceremony most likely took place in town. From town they would have marched south, past Col. Farnsworth's mansion and continued on to Geneva.
With all these facts in mind, I created a new map showing my new thoughts on the location of Camp Kane.
Timeline for Langum Park
- 1850's In the 1850's and possibly earlier "There was a large stand of timber known by local residents as "55 acres."
- 1861 Farnsworth set up Camp Kane on land owned by Otho Perkins for the 8th Illinois Cavalry Regiment.
- 1864 Farnsworth set up camp again for the 17th Illinois Cavalry Regiment.
- 1925 Mayor Langum set aside 20 acres in 1925 to be a city park.
- 1978 First time Langum Park was in the St. Charles city directory.
- 1982 June 13th, finally after 67 years of trying to dedicate it as a historical park a memorial was put in place at camp Kane and dedicated as a historical site.
- 2000 In 2000 wanted to rebuild the Farnsworth mansion in Langum Park standing right across from where it was once built at the south end of the park.
- 2014 The Jones Law Office was moved from Cedar Ave. to its current location in Langum Park. During the Civil War, the law office served as a military recruiting headquarters.
Langum Park Today
Langum Park is no longer the 55 acres it used to be. The park is now a total of 31.2 acres. The park area has increased since Mayor Langum set aside the 20 acres of land 98 years ago. The forested area of the park has shrunk to about 9 acres. Today the park has baseball fields, tennis courts and a playground. There are plenty of picnic tables throughout the park and a great view of the Fox River. In the winter there is a sledding hill and an ice rink for hockey. On the south end of the park stands the Jones Law Office along with multiple signs about the Civil War and Camp Kane. Civil war reenactors have come to Langum Park multiple times throughout the last few years.
Behind the Name
Langum Park was named for one of St. Charles longest serving Mayors, Doctor I. G. Langum. Mayor Langum set aside 20 acres of land in 1925 to become a public space. He was a very productive mayor and St. Charles benefited from his good deeds as mayor. He was the Mayor for seven consecutive terms. He started a soup kitchen during the Great Depression and many other projects to help the community during the difficult time.
Summer Fun: Miss Pikes Progressive Camp
With the summer season here, many parents have had to make the decision of what to do with their children. In the past, many parents looked to Miss Pike's Progressive Camp in the Fox River Valley to keep their children active and entertained during the summer months.
Miss Pike's Progressive Camp began in the 1930s and was located at Pinelands on Route 25, north of where Little Woods School is today. The camp was directed by Dorcas and Stella Marie Pike, both graduates of the Pestalozzi-Froebel Teachers College on Chicago. Charles Pike, the brother of Docas and Stella also worked at the camp, serving as athletic supervisor for the boys' sports and golf lessons. In addition, the camp had many counselors to offer guidance and give special attention to the needs of the campers.
Enrollment in Miss Pike's Progressive Summer Camp typically lasted eight weeks and was available to boys and girls ages three to fifteen. The camp focused on developing the physical and social health of each individual child with activities such as horseback riding, tennis, golf, twice daily swimming lessons, hayrack parties, picnics, nature excursions, and after dinner movies. Private tutoring was also available to students for an additional charge. To ensure the healthy development of campers, the Pikes kept daily records of camper's weight and hired a University of Chicago clinic specialist to supervise their diets.
The Pikes also worked to strike a balance between relaxation and outdoor actives within their camp. They placed all the campers on a regular sleeping schedule which included naps for the younger campers. Finally, the Pikes ensured that the children were surrounded with experienced councilors who provided supervision and friendship for the campers.
The regular summer season for Miss Pike's Progressive Camp ran from June 20 to August 16 and cost $240 per camper, but a $40 discount was offered if a camper was registered by the first of May. However, when the summer camp ended in may many parents wished that their children could remain at Pinelands and continue their educations.
In 1932, aware of the demand Stella Pike and her husband bought a large house at the southeast corner of Main and Seventh Streets in St. Charles and opened the Miss Pikes' Progressive School. The combined boarding and day school offered instruction for boys and girls in the elementary grades but soon began to offer high school level courses. Overall, the Pike's strove to incorporate an academic curriculum with a hoke-like familiar atmosphere so children would become polite, well-rounded individuals.
Each year the school would open the second week of September and closed around the first of June. Tuition was approximately $950 and included everything but piano and voice lessons. As more students entered the school, the Pikes felt the need for more space and decide to build an addition to their house in the late 1940s. The school continued at this location up until the late 1960s when Stella and her husband retired. At the time of the closure, the school was nationally renowned and had housed children from across the country.

One of the prized offerings in the Siegelson booth at the 2013 Baselword fair is a vintage Van Cleef & Arpels number that gives the firm's other beauties some stiff competition. Made in platinum with French assay marks circa 1926, the brooch pendant features a geometric motif of brilliant- and step-cut baguettes and single-cut diamonds that is further accented by natural pearls—including a detachable natural pearl drop pendant with rose-cut diamonds—a sugarloaf cabochon emerald, and another detachable pendant with an emerald drop, rose-cut diamonds, and a double-sided lozenge-shape diamond.
"This is one of our finest VCA pieces," says account manager Ryan Karolak.
The item was recently acquired from a collector—"the best pieces come from families," he says—and features a highly desirable Art Deco design. Siegelson has sent out a few pictures of the item to clients, but this week marks the piece's first public appearance.
The masterpiece was originally purchased in 1926 by oil magnate Sir Henri Deterding, likely for his wife, jewelry collector Lady Lydia Deterding (Lydia Pavlovna Koudoyaroff) from Russia.
"It's a triple whammy of natural pearls, a fine emerald, and a piece with intrinsic value that works aesthetically," Karolak notes. "We've not seen a piece like this in 60 years."
At press time, the jewel was still available for purchase.
Brooch pendant in platinum French assay marks circa 1926, a 13.57 ct. emerald, a 0.7 ct. sugarloaf cabochon emerald (from Columbia), a drop-shape natural pearl, 17.7 cts. t.w. brilliant- and step-cut baguettes and single- and rose-cut diamonds, and five drilled natural 7 mm–7.9 mm saltwater pearls; signed Van Cleef & Arpels and numbered 28051; with certifications from the Swiss Gemmological Institute, the Gemological Institute of America and the Gem & Pearl Laboratory (of Bahrain); price on requestFollow JCK on Instagram: @jckmagazine

Stevie - Spinner (04.29.2011)
We're so used to hearing about how your albums have had difficult gestation periods, but you've said that making 'In Your Dreams' was great -- it must be a relief.
Well, this is how it should be. When you make records with Fleetwood Mac, they're difficult. That's not to say they're not amazing -- they obviously are, and that's why I am famous; every time I drive up to my gorgeous house, I go, "This is the house that Fleetwood Mac built." So did we argue? Yes. Did we have fights? Yes. But was the music that came out of it fantastic? Yes. However, it was difficult.
The song 'Moonlight (Vampire's Dream)' was influenced by 'Twilight: New Moon,' and the album teaser, with its vampires, is a bit
I think they are. The first and the third verse in 'Moonlight' were written in the mid-'70s. The second verse -- "She's lonely, lost, and disconnected" -- was written in Brisbane right after I saw the movie. So the song, really, is ancient times up to today.
The chorus -- "It's strange, she runs from the ones she can't keep up with" -- is all about the love affair between Bella and Edward [in 'New Moon']. But "Some call her strange lady from the mountains/Others say she's not really real," that's written in 1976. The same with the third verse: "He loves her, but he loves his life alone as well" -- people would think that was written about Edward, but it was written about Lindsey. So this really is an ancient song that encompasses my strange and everlasting relationship with Lindsey Buckingham, and Bella and Edward, all mixed into one.
There was something vampiric, then, between you and Lindsey?
It is! Our love affair. As much as we fight and have our differences of opinion on almost everything, if anything were to happen to either of us, I would be the first one there and he would be the first one here. So it is a story [about how] love never dies.

"You have a beautiful studio–gorgeous–with more Pilates equipment than I even knew existed. Everyone I met there was warm, friendly, helpful, and encouraging."
"The comparison between my experience at Aldrich Pilates and what was called Pilates at my health club and at physical therapy is rather like the comparison between an Italian dinner at a wonderful restaurant in Florence versus pizza from a pizza delivery chain. Both are Italian but they are very different."

Sevilla coach Berizzo in prostate tumor shock
A day after Sevilla rallied to hold Liverpool to a remarkable 3-3 draw in the UEFA Champions League, the Spanish club said coach Eduardo "Toto" Berizzo has a malignant tumor.
Rumors about the coach's condition began spreading not long after Tuesday's match in Seville. On Wednesday, the club confirmed that the 48-year-old Argentine has been diagnosed with a prostate tumor.
Sevilla's mantra of "Never Give Up" was extensively brought up by fans and players after the club pulled off its comeback against Liverpool with an injury-time goal by Guido Pizarro. It was brought up again on Wednesday.
"You are in the best place in the world to never give up," former Sevilla sporting director Ramon "Monchi" Rodriguez, who now works for Italian club AS Roma, wrote on Twitter. "Where you are, they never give up."
Sevilla has not said how Berizzo's condition will affect his work. In its brief statement, the club said only that further tests will determine what type of treatment will be required. It was not clear if Berizzo will need to undergo surgery.
Sevilla's next match is Sunday at Villarreal in the Spanish league.
"Sevilla FC wants to show maximum support to its manager in these moments and wishes him a prompt recovery," the club said.
Berizzo was hired by Sevilla this season after Jorge Sampaoli left to coach Argentina's national team. He had spent three seasons with Celta Vigo, guiding the club to the Europa League semifinals and to two Copa del Rey semifinals.
Berizzo was among those jeered on Tuesday after Sevilla conceded three goals in the first 30 minutes of the Group E match against Liverpool at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium. But Pizarro's late goal from a corner kick salvaged the draw that kept the club in good position to advance to the knockout stages for the second straight season.
Sevilla is one point behind leader Liverpool and two points in front of Spartak Moscow. Sevilla plays at last-place Maribor on December 6, while Liverpool hosts Spartak.
"The team kept believing and we experienced an unforgettable and exciting match," Berizzo said after Tuesday's game. "We showed how competitive we are. We showed that animal that we have inside of us. We took risks to go after the result and that says a lot about the courage of these players."
On Wednesday, Sevilla players were the ones trying to cheer their coach.
"You have our support," Sevilla forward Wissam Ben Yedder, who scored twice on Tuesday, wrote on Twitter. "Hang in there."
