Swimwear manufacturers have long looked to the sea for inspiration. Speedo's original Fastskin design, which debuted at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, featured sharkskin-like ridges that were supposed to boost the swimmer's speed. In February, however, Harvard researchers found that although actual sharkskin was 12 percent faster with denticles than without, the Fastskin's bumps were too small, rounded, and far apart to have the same effect. In fact, the suit was actually faster inside out.
Michael Phelps and the U.K.'s Rebecca Adlington will be among the swimmers wearing the Fastskin3 at the Olympics next week.
Michael Phelps and the U.K.'s Rebecca Adlington will be among the swimmers wearing the Fastskin3 at the Olympics next week.
Still, by the time study hit the news, Speedo was four years and 55,000 hours into research and testing the barracuda-based Fastskin3. Scientists at the company's Aqualab scanned athletes to create a three-dimensional digital avatar. They then tweaked various parts of it, using computational fluid dynamics to calculate how each change affected drag.
"We operated on the principle of minimal gains," Joe Santry, Aqualab's research manager, told Reuters. "Rather than getting a huge increase in performance from a single design change, Speedo's scientists squeezed a few percentage points of improvement from many individual modifications."
Unlike other suits, which absorb water, the Fastskin3 repels it. Because the lighter weight helps propel the swimmer that much further, the complete outfit produces 16.6 percent less drag than its competition, according to Speedo. Translation: When U.S.A's Michael Phelps and the U.K.'s Rebecca Adlington pull on the Fastskin3 at the Olympics next week, they'll have an estimated 0.11 percent potential increase in speed. It's a small advantage, to be sure, but in a sport where even a thousandth of a second counts, it could spell all the difference between gold and silver.

Met everyone on the team but spent the most time with Rob. Went about as far as you can go without getting the deal done. Overall, took too long to get through all the meetings, etc., so we took $ from other sources. However, I would recommend these guys highly. We pitched a lot of VCs and had a competitive process. Of the VCs we pitched, these guys did the best with:
-Understanding the product, market and business model, and speaking to reasonable extensions of the business.
-Willing to engage early and continue the process until a deal could make sense for them.
-Being open-minded with terms required by founders.

Although recidivism is denoted by a return to crime, criminologists may not have a valid way of measuring whether a crime has occurred. Officially recorded criminal justice events such as arrest conviction are imperfect measures for assessing criminal activity because many crimes are committed without detection.
Another way of assessing criminal activity is to interview study participants and ask them to recall the crimes they have committed. Because of memory decay and other methodological issues, this, too, is an imperfect measurement. As a compromise, recidivism is measured in different ways to see whether the different assessments correspond.
Key considerations involved with measuring recidivism are:
Both the practitioner and the theorist are most interested in whether an intervention or sanction has an effect on criminality. Determining the rate of recidivism is one way to measure this effect.
Recidivism cannot accurately be measured just by using arrest data because not all crime is discovered. It can, however, be measured in different ways, such as:
The last measure is the most sensitive; however, statistical methods to measure time to an event are more complicated.
When an offender recidivates is key for measurement, as discussed below.
For example, one might compare the difference between the effects of different drug treatments on post-program relapse and criminality. Comparing recidivism rates across programs or jurisdictions, however, can be quite difficult because the programs are likely to have significant differences in measurement definitions, between the types of supervision offered, and among the offenders being studied.
The timing of recidivism is key not only to its measurement but also to understanding the processes underlying the effects of sanctions and interventions with respect to the propensity of the individual to commit crime. Recidivism is delineated by starting and stopping events. The starting event can be the entry into a program or the release from prison. Other criminal justice events such as starting probation or the beginning of parole also qualify as starting events. The stopping event is typically a criminal justice action such as an arrest or revocation of supervision.
Recidivism refers to both the
type of stopping event (such as the arrest) and the
amount of time between the starting and stopping criminal justice events (such as between entering a program and re-arrest). Sometimes researchers report only statistics on the stopping event, such as the percentage of people arrested. Other times, researchers report the average amount of time from starting to stopping event(s).
The "at-risk environment" must be considered when measuring recidivism. The level of risk for someone released from prison may depend on the level of post-release supervision. For example, it may depend on whether drug testing is conducted. Studies have shown that the higher the at-risk environment, the more likely someone will recidivate.
One of the many difficulties with measuring recidivism is that analysts tend to assume that the risk environment of re-arrest is the same for everyone who is being studied. This factor is important for practitioners and criminologists to be able to study programmatic differences in an intervention. If someone released from one program is put in a "riskier" environment than someone from a different intervention or a control group, any observed differences in re-arrest or recidivism rates may be due to the risk environment rather than the intervention. For example, one can think of a program that releases offenders to higher levels of supervision than a contrasting program. Observed differences in recidivism may be due to the different levels of supervision rather than the effect of the program.
These types of problems are inherent in the study of most social indicators. Although the problems are formidable, techniques have been developed that allow analysts to make credible comparisons.

The Brunch Dish: The Brunch Special at Campo de' Fiori
Brunch menus to do your weekend right.
My usual brunch at Campo de' Fiori in Park Slope is to stroll in around 2pm, order a bacon-studded Matriciana, take the leftovers home for dinner and call it a day. (Which is why I didn't bring a real camera along on my last visit, as you can plainly see.) But the $15 brunch special on that visit turned out to be a much more interesting plan. That sum gets you a four-part brunch: a crepe with apples, radicchio, and Gorgonzola; toast with a spreadable egg yolk, tomato and Pecorino; a piece of their "brunch pizza" with scrambled eggs on top; and tiramisu.
Thankfully, the first three "courses" arrive on one platter. I love any excuse to slather egg yolk on toast, and while this one could've been a touch more spreadable, it still integrated beautifully with the tomato sauce and Pecorino, like the best piece of bread you dip in a shakshuka. I'm a huge fan of their "brunch pizza," a smart tangle of bacon, potato, and sweet caramelized onion with scrambled eggs to top. Greasy and satisfying in all the best of ways. But the surprise winner was really that crepe, with just the right amount of Gorgonzola to bind those other ingredients together and impart that signature funk, yet not nearly enough to overwhelm.

Travelling to New Zealand.. things you should know
If you're planning on travelling to New Zealand this article covers key points, including getting to and from, when & where to visit and more.
1 / 2
When to visit New Zealand: The best time to visit New Zealand, can depend on what your purpose is, New Zealand is a beautiful place to visit at any time! The warmer months are September through to April, with the warmest time being December – March so if its beach you are looking for this is the time to visit. This is also the busiest time with higher tariffs in the lodges and hotels, and availability at a premium, with the key destinations of Queenstown, Bay of Islands, Nelson, Rotorua and Wanaka being more difficult to book unless planned in advance. It is worth considering a visit in the shoulder season, its quieter and less expensive, September/October or April/May. If a skiing holiday is what you are looking for then June/July/August/September is the best time to visit. The ski fields are open during this time in the central north island, Queenstown, Christchurch and Wanaka. The average temperatures during summer range from approximately 20 - 30ºC, and in winter 10 - 15ºC. Whatever the weather there is always something to do in New Zealand; hiking, wine tasting, scenic heli flights, jet boats, mountain biking, horse riding, golf and much more. If your interests are more specialized such as hunting and fishing then it's best to talk to us about options.
Flying to and around New Zealand: Getting to New Zealand is easy and most major airlines offer flights to New Zealand. Direct flights are now available from USA, China, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and Chile. Most international fights arrive in Auckland, on the North Island and Christchurch & Queenstown also receive a smaller number of international flights. Flight times from North America are around 12 hours, Europe 24 hours and South East Asia 11 hours. It's easy to book your international flight on line using a major carrier such as Air New Zealand, Air China, Cathay Pacific, United, Air Canada and many more. Once in New Zealand the Luxury Adventures team can take care of your land arrangements, accommodation, activities, hire car or transfers and domestic flights.
Flying internally in New Zealand is much easier than in a lot of other countries, the flying distances are short; Auckland to wellington 1 hour, Auckland to Christchurch 1 hour 20, and Queenstown 1 hour 50 minutes (the longest flight in New Zealand). The airports are small and friendly with simple check in procedures, and rental car desks or transfers available close by. The current luggage allowance on domestic flights is 23 kg for checked baggage and 7 kg for hand luggage, you might want to check your international flight allowances to see if it differs to avoid paying extra baggage allowances.
Many people visiting New Zealand tag on a pacific island, something to bear in mind with this is that traveling from New Zealand to Tahiti for example takes around 5 hours, and you cross the international date line in doing so and loose a day, flights tend to leave Auckland around 9 or 10:00 am and arrive in Papeete in the afternoon or evening before you leave, almost always resulting in requiring a night here before traveling onto Bora Bora, Moorea or one of the other Islands. Auckland to Fiji is a shorter 3 hour flight, and we are on the same time zone.
Visa requirements: Many visitors do not require a visa for the purpose of a vacation, if your home country is on the visa waiver list then you can stay for a period of 3 months. The full visa waiver list can be found on the New Zealand immigration web site along with more detailed information on how to obtain a visa should your home country not be on this list.
Driving in New Zealand: To drive in New Zealand you will need to hold a current driver licence, and carry this with you at all times. The licence must be written in English, or have an approved translation or international driving permit. We drive on the left hand side of the road, and most rental cars will be automatic. Outside of the major cities the roads are relatively quiet, but can be windy and narrow, you should always drive to the conditions, and allow plenty of time to reach your destination. The rules and regulations of our New Zealand roads can be found here, Driving in New Zealand.
Some people prefer to have private transfers, more information on self drive vs transfers, can be found on our earlier Self drive or transfers blog.
Navigating around the country is relatively easy, and we can arrange a GPS unit with your hire car. Outside of the major cities of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch the roads are quiet. Luxury Adventures always provide directions in our itineraries between airports and accommodation, and to and from meeting points for your activities.
Distances between some of the key destinations are:
North Island
Auckland to Rotorua 3.5 hours
Auckland to Taupo 4 hours
Auckland to Waitomo 3 hours
Taupo to Hawkes Bay 2 hours
Auckland to Wellington 9 hours
Auckland to Paihia (Bay of Islands) 3.45 hours
South Island
Christchurch to Franz Josef glacier 5.5 hours
Kaikoura to Christchurch 2.15 hours
Nelson to Christchurch 5.15 hours
Franz Josef to Wanaka 3.5 hours
Franz Josef to Queenstown 5 hours
Queenstown to Milford 4.25 hours
Christchurch to Queenstown 6.15 hours
One of the most requested self drive routes is the West Coast of the South Island, or the Glacier Highway as it's known. The closest airports to the region are Hokitika or Queenstown. The total distance between Queenstown and Hokitka via vehicle is 543 km or around a 7 hour drive. We recommend doing this drive over a period of 3 days with stops at Hokitika, Franz Josef or Fox Glacier and Wanaka. It's a beautiful drive along state highway 6, with views of mountains and oceans. For most people the main purpose of the drive is to visit the glaciers, however currently the glaciers are not accessible from the townships of Franz or Fox by foot. The only way to access and hike the glaciers is on a guided trip, which includes a short helicopter ride onto the glacier and a 2 hour guided walk. These trips are weather dependent and the weather on the West Coast can be very changeable, and for that reason we recommend a minimum of one night in the area.
Deciding on your budget: There is not one simple answer to this, there are so many factors to take into consideration. Luxury Adventures work in the luxury end of the market with handpicked accommodation ranging from $350 - to over $3,000 per night, other factors to consider are if you want to self drive or have private transfers, the level and type of experiences you want, private tours, small groups or self-guided. It's best to discuss your personal requirements with one of the Luxury Adventures team to ensure we tailor make an itinerary that perfectly suits your needs and budget. You can also read more detailed information about luxury travel budgets in our "What's your travel budget" blog.
It pays to plan.. Most visitors have a limited time to visit New Zealand, often 2 – 3 weeks to try and see and do as much as is possible. This is where planning an itinerary is important, there are many considerations, time of year, budget, time constraints, logistics etc. Some people have definite ideas on what they want to include, be it a destination or an experience, whilst others need more guidance, in all events having an agent on the ground is a definite advantage. Local up to date knowledge on accommodation, logistics and new and exciting experiences is key to making sure your trip is ideal based on your requirements and runs without hitches. With only a couple of weeks to see and do as much as is possible, we recommend the key destinations such as Queenstown, Rotorua, Taupo, Bay of Islands, Abel Tasman, Fiordland and Hawkes Bay to name the most popular ones. There are also many hidden jewels such as Stewart Island at the very bottom of the South Island with great bush and beach walks, and a slower pace of life - "A real Kiwi" experience. The Coromandel Peninsula is a favourite destination for Kiwis to holiday with fantastic beaches - visit Cathedral Cove, film location for Narnia, New Chums beach, a hidden away and rarely explored beach which has been voted one of the world best beaches. A scenic drive around the Karikari peninsula, Northland is a true paradise with white sand and clear blue waters. Within a 45 drive from Auckland there are the stunning remote west coast beaches with black sand and rolling surf. Karekare beach of The Piano film fame, Piha home to surfers and Murawai with its gannet colony. This is also home to fantastic walks with The Hillary Trail - 77 km of trails in native forest. Or Great Barrier Island, a paradise just 30 mins from downtown auckland via helicopter, rarely frequented by international visitors.
Apart from the well known New Zealand great walks, there are other excellent lesser known walks all over New Zealand which can be easily explored and hiked, the same applies to mountain bike tracks, with some of the best around Rotorua, there are also great tracks in close proximity to Auckland, Queenstown, and Christchurch. New Zealand is a great destination for cyclists, with trails accessible from most major cities such as the Otago Rail Trail, Nelsons Great Taste Trial, Queen Charlotte Track, Mountains to see and many more. For the keen fishermen New Zealand offers world class fishing with great lake and river fishing in both the North and South Islands, game fishing in the warmer northern waters and tremendous salter water sport fishing all around the country. For the more adventurous the adventure tourism in New Zealand is second to none, bungy jumping, shark cage dives, zip lining, jet boats, mountain biking and more… to summarise New Zealand has something to offer everyone, at any time of the year, the key is to plan your time wisely to ensure you get the best out of your trip, contact one of our team to make a start.

Secretary Tillerson on U.S.-Saudi Cooperation to Achieve Shared Economic Goals
By DipNote Bloggers on April 19, 2017
Today U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson spoke at the second annual U.S.-Saudi Arabia CEO Summit on how the United States and Saudi Arabia can deepen economic partnership in a way that strengthens ties and benefits both economies. The event, hosted at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Council of Saudi Chambers of Commerce and Industry, brought together government officials and business leaders from both countries to address opportunities to expand the U.S.-Saudi economic cooperation and create new jobs.
Secretary Tillerson used the gathering as an opportunity to reaffirm the strong partnership that exists between the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Secretary Tillerson said, "We have a long relationship with Saudi Arabia that extends over 80 years, and our support for a strong and steady partner on economic cooperation remains as firm as ever."
Applauding Saudi Arabia's leadership in pursuing economic progress for its region, Secretary Tillerson stressed the United States' support of Saudi Arabia's 2030 plan that seeks to transform their economy and society. In particular, Secretary Tillerson commended the plans specific commitments to increase foreign ownership on listed companies, boost the women's workforce participation rate, augment the private sector's contribution to national GDP, and increase the quality of the health and education sectors through substantial capital investment.
Secretary Tillerson also reaffirmed the administration's commitment to help facilitate partnerships between American businesses and Saudi Arabia. Secretary Tillerson noted that officials and business leaders often talk about the commercial sales opportunities in Saudi Arabia, but raised the hope that Saudi Arabia will also partner and invest with companies in the United States. He acknowledged one of the objectives of regular commercial and economic dialogues in the region is to promote two-way foreign direct investment. Secretary Tillerson stated, "When U.S. companies invest in the Saudi economy, everyone wins. The U.S. creates jobs at home, and businesses in the Gulf region get the best business partners that the global marketplace has to offer."
"The Department of State is ready to help in this process. First and foremost, our U.S. charge d'affaires, our deputy chief of mission, our consuls general, and commercial officers and economic officers in Saudi Arabia are at your disposal to engage with our government to facilitate trade and investment. This assistance includes all of the meetings, phone calls, and legwork of our Foreign Service officers to discover market conditions and support early-stage exploratory talks by you when you come to the kingdom," Secretary TIllerson continued.
In closing, Secretary Tillerson thanked the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Council of Saudi Chambers for helping to initiate a successful new chapter in the two countries important and enduring relationship.

Around 10:30 p.m. on Monday, January 2, I started having contractions. They felt similar to other contractions in the past, so I waited/labored at home. I had uncontrollable shakes and around midnight, I decided that we should definitely go in. After spending Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve in l&d triage before being sent home, I wanted to be sure it was the real thing before heading in.
In triage at 1 a.m., we found out I was dilated to 6-7 cm. I asked how much longer they thought until I would hit 10 cm and be able to push. When they couldn't give me a timeframe, I asked for the epidural. I really feel it was the best decision I made.
After the epidural kicked in, my parents, Matt and I were able to relax a bit while I continued to dilate. We listened to music, cracked jokes with the nurses and rested. There were a few times that my blood pressure dropped pretty low, but the nurse was able to reposition me and that seemed to fix the problem.
Around 5:30 a.m., they said I was fully dilated and could push if I felt the urge. I didn't, so they continued to let me rest. An hour later, I still didn't feel the "urge" but figured I'd give pushing a try. I ended up pushing for 20 minutes before Austin arrived at 6:43 a.m., weighing 8 lb 9 oz and measuring 20.5 inches long. So, from my first real contraction to delivery was a little over 8 hours.
Our little guy decided to come out with his hand up next to his face, giving me second degree tears in three different spots and a hematoma. Clearly God was watching over me and helped me make the decision to get the epidural early on. I cannot imagine what that pain would have felt like sans epidural.
It took them 45 minutes to stitch me up, but we were so consumed by our new baby that it didn't feel like that long. Matt and I both had skin to skin contact with Austin within minutes of him being born and I was able to breastfeed him while the doctors continued to work on me.
The epidural took a little longer than expected to wear off. When it was time to move from labor and delivery to the Mother Baby Center, I attempted to get into the wheelchair and ended up dropping straight to my knees. What a weird feeling!!! Two nurses had to help me up, but it felt so weird being dead weight.
After being up all night in labor and then up the next day with a newborn, we were quite tired.
After being up all night in labor and then up the next day with a newborn, we were quite tired.
Since coming home, we've have had some challenges with breastfeeding and Austin dropped more than 10% of his body weight at his check up, down to 7 lb 8 oz. We were able to get an appointment with the lactation consultant at the hospital and things started to get better. My milk came in, but my nipples aren't "sticking out" like they should. This has created latch issues and the pain has brought me to tears multiple times. So we started using a nipple shield which helped a lot.
For the first few days at home, my pain "down there" got worse instead of better each day. My legs/ankles were swollen beyond recognition. I felt like I had Princess Fiona sausage feet. Disgusting. Add in the breastfeeding issues and it was a rough couple of days.
At Austin's first weight re-check, he gained four ounces, up to 7 lb 12 oz. We'll go for one more weight re-check on Monday to make sure he is steadily gaining weight.
The nether region is feeling much better these days and the swelling in my feet is pretty much gone now.
Unfortunately, the breastfeeding woes continue. My nipples are cracked and Austin is taking in a bit of blood with each feeding. On top of that, I have Mastitis. Having a fever and feeling achey with a newborn is the worst. Matt has been nothing but amazing, taking care of Austin and I. So, I'm on antibiotics for the infection and we have stopped breastfeeding for now to allow things to heal. I am pumping every 3 hours and Austin is getting that milk through a bottle. We'll try breastfeeding again in a few days...
We are settling into a great routine. Austin is awake for most of the day and sleeps from around 11 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. at night without waking up.
Matt has been off work for two weeks and we are both dreading him having to go back tomorrow.

He may be a small-business owner, but Brad Padgett thinks big when it comes to drawing in the holiday shoppers.
He may be a small-business owner, but Brad Padgett thinks big when it comes to drawing in the holiday shoppers.
He�s running a weekend promotion that combines two of the holiday�s favorite items: jewelry and electronics.
�Buy an engagement ring and get an iPad,� Padgett said.
Beginning Black Friday and continuing through Sunday, spend $1,499 at Bradley�s Jewelers in Jacksonville and get a free Apple iPhone 5. Purchase $2,499 worth and get a free iPad.
And his extended hours begin this weekend, including opening on Sundays through Christmas.
Padgett supports shopping local and says area businesses have the deals and the quality gifts shoppers are after. He�s making sure his business is part of the mix when it comes to luring customers through his doors.
�You can�t sit and wait. You have to get involved if you want to be in it,� he said.
The day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday, is the traditional kick off of the holiday shopping season. It�s a day known for big crowds and long lines for the hot deals, particularly at big-name department and chain stores.
Small Business Saturday is all about promoting the small and independent businesses.
�Black Friday is when a lot of people like to get up early and line up outside the department stores, but if you�re looking for something unique and want to support your friends and neighbors, then you need to support Small Business Saturday,� said Greg Thompson, state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, via a news release.
According to the inaugural Small Business Saturday Insights Survey released Nov. 8 by the NFIB and American Express, nearly half of all independent merchants plan to incorporate Small Business Saturday into their holiday marketing plans, while 67 percent plan to offer special discounts.
In downtown Swansboro, Small Business Saturday coincides with the first Winter Wonderland by the Sea.
Downtown businesses will be staying open until 8 p.m. and there will be entertainment and activities at Olde Towne Square beginning at 5:30 p.m., helping to draw people to the downtown area for an evening of fun and holiday shopping.
Charlene Nichols, owner of Lovely�s boutique, is ready for the weekend, with plans to stay open late Friday to catch people in town for the Christmas flotilla and will follow with extended hours Saturday.
With an average price of $36 and items from purses to scarves, pillows and beach bags, she said she has plenty of easy to pick up items that don�t require knowing a size. And what Nichols said she can offer as a small boutique owner is unique finds with more personalized customer service.
�You�re going to find unique pieces and one-on-one service. It�s a more intimate shopping experience with a downtown ambiance. We�re excited and hope people will come out and support small business,� Nichols said.
Donna Hammond, executive director of the Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerce, said small businesses comprise the majority of its membership and the success of the small, independent businesses is important to the local economy.
She encourages people to shop local and to visit Swansboro on Saturday.
�It�s Black Saturday in Swansboro,� she said.
In downtown Jacksonville, Elizabeth Altman, who owns New Bridge Organic Market, is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and ready to welcome customers looking for natural and organic foods and personal care products.
She said holiday gift baskets are a unique way to give to friends and family and promote local products, such as Green Truck coffee from Swansboro, Cape Fear Salsa or local honey. They also have items from local crafters on consignment.
Altman said small businesses add to the variety of the shopping experience, and she and her husband hope to see some of this weekend�s holiday shoppers browsing their shelves as well.
�We would love to capture some of it,� she said.

The Ambler Chapter of the Friends of the Library is concerned with promoting ways for the Ambler Branch to remain a dynamic and positive force in the community for all residents. The Ambler Friends usually meet the third Tuesday of the month at 5:30 pm. These sessions discuss ways to help the library and importantly address funding of current and new library programs. In these times of tight budgets, the funds raised by the Friends are vital to maintain and grow programs for all patrons, including:
- Popular children's and adult programs such as the Children's Art Series, Meet the Author, and Tea and Scones
- Improving the physical facilities for utility, comfort, and appearance
- Purchasing specialized equipment or materials that will enhance the use of the library's facilities
The Ambler Friends also assist with the Library's community outreach through participation at Ambler Main Street events such as First Friday, the Ambler Art and Music Festival, Dog Days of Summer, and Oktoberfest.
In addition to using your local library (which is very important), all patrons and community residents are encouraged to support the library by joining the Ambler Friends of the Library. Information can be obtained by calling (215) 646-1072, or download the application. Please bring the completed form to the library or mail it to WVPL Ambler Friends, 209 Race Street, Ambler, PA 19002. To join the Ambler Friends using your credit card, navigate to TinyURL.com/AmblerFriends and follow the instructions. PayPal is processing our credit dard transactions, and, importantly, the Friends never see your credit card data. While you're there check out our Facebook posts!
And of course your financial contributions are always welcomed and appreciated.
NEW! Amazon Smile
You can support the Ambler Library Friends each time you make a purchase on Amazon. We've recently joined the Amazon Smile program in which Amazon will donate 0.5% (1/2 of 1%) of your eligible purchases if you designate the Ambler Friends as your charity. It will not add to the cost of your purchase. All you need to do is sign up once on Amazon to designate the Ambler Library Friends as your charity. While 0.5% is small, for instance 50 cents on a $100 purchase, the more people who participate the more it helps. Instructions are shown below.
Importantly one does not need to be a member of the Friends to designate the Friends as their Amazon charity. Your family, relatives, friends, neighbors, co-workers, or anyone can sign up and help.
Go to smile.amazon.com for more information.
To designate the Ambler Library Friends as your Amazon charity:
1. Go to smile.amazon.com. Follow instructions to log into your Amazon account, or create one if you have not ordered in the past.
2. Once in your Amazon account, navigate to "pick your own charitable organization"
3. Type in "Ambler Library Friends" or our Federal Tax Number: 46-2976334
4. The results will show "Pennsylvania Citizens for Better Libraries" in Ambler Pa. Tap "Select"
5. The Amazon home page will appear with your charity showing at the top.
6. Shop normally and Amazon will donate 0.5% to the Friends when you make purchases.
7. You do not need to repeat the signup process the next time you shop. Going to smile.amazon.com (not amazon.com) will have "Pennsylvania Citizens for Better Libraries" listed automatically.

Has been a long time since the last time I wrote on this blog. Many things are changed in my life since then. My journey at Curcuma wasn't so happy as I hoped and after 6 months of hard work I left and joined the amazing team at Ernest.ai.
We are building a smart chatbot to help people managing personal finance. Currently, we are in closed beta (here you can sign.up to the waiting list). Team is distributed between London and Milan. Here is a beautiful photo taken during last meeting in London a couple of months ago.
During the last year, career path switch and parenting took all my time and chances to write vanished. Anyhow experiences I did allow me to learn a lot about Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Conversational Interfaces, Chatbots, Functional and Reactive programming and many other exciting topics and now, the beginning of 2017, could be the right time to restart giving back to the community.
See you on this feed 😉

Original question: Do moderators see the flagged post as I flagged it, or do they see the current version?
If Since it is the current version, I request making it the flagged version instead.
The reason I ask this is that people are getting their flags declined because the original post was edited after the flag, thereby invalidating the flag. The flag was valid, so the flagger's weight should not be decreased.

Kerry Washington stepped back into the spotlight for the first time since becoming a mom last month to accept an award from Women in Film.
The "Scandal" star, along with fellow actresses Cate Blanchett, Eva Longoria, Rose Byrne and "Frozen" writer-director Jennifer Lee were honored by the nonprofit group Wednesday for their career achievements.
Actress Tracee Ellis Ross hosted the dinner ceremony at the Century Plaza Hotel.
"Last year, Women in Film turned 40," she said, "so that makes us 34 on IMDB."
Washington and Blanchett each said women must be willing to take risks and reveal imperfections to tell authentic stories about their experiences.
"When we step up for ourselves, we create opportunity, whether it's because we inspire other people or we employ other people," said Washington, who gave birth to a daughter in May. She thanked past winner and "Scandal" creator Shonda Rhimes, who presented Washington with the Lucy Award, for developing dynamic and diverse female characters and giving women a chance to soar on both sides of the camera.
Blanchett said women need to overcome the fear that they can't fail.
"A creative career is only as good as the risks you take with it," she said. The two-time Oscar received the Crystal Award, which recognizes those who've helped to expand women's role in entertainment, from actress Laura Dern.
Longoria accepted the Norma Zarky Humanitarian Award from actress-writer-director Lake Bell, who described her as "a truly huge-hearted, great lady in a very small, sexy and sassy package."
Longoria said she learned about compassion from her older sister, Lisa, who has special needs. Longoria recalled that when Lisa was in high school, someone stole her letterman's jacket. Fuming, Longoria wondered who would do such a thing. "Someone who must have been cold," Lisa suggested.
"I am the woman I am today because she is the woman she is," Longoria said.
Byrne was recognized as the Max Mara Face of the Future. The 34-year-old star of "Neighbors" and "Bridesmaids" said she was humbled to be recognized, noting women's ongoing underrepresentation in Hollywood.
"It's a powerful business we're in, with a loud voice," she said. "It's imperative we realize women are consumers just as much as men, and have our stories told and audiences embraced."
"Frozen" star Kristen Bell presented Lee with the Dorothy Arzner Directors Award. Lee wrote and co-directed the Oscar-winning musical that has become the fifth-highest grossing film of all time. She thanked Walt Disney Animation chief John Lasseter for making her the first woman to direct a feature for the studio.
"Female characters," she said, "if done with authenticity... can get a whole world to come see them."

Secret Cities: Los AngelesSOURCE Nowness
Over the years Rodarte designers and California natives Kate and Laura Mulleavy have referenced eclectic sources across the globe for their collections, from the condors of their home state to Japanese horror films. So-Cal fashion duo Rodarte map an alternative guide to LA.
For their fall 2011 show, the sisters focused once again on their homeland, referencing the prairies of the Midwest in their prints and silhouettes. Given their eclectic taste and inside knowledge of LA, we asked the sisters for an itinerary of their off-the-beaten-path hangouts.
Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Movies like Badlands and Bride of Frankenstein are projected during the summer amongst the graves of Cecil B. DeMille, John Huston, Rudolf Valentino, and Johnny Ramone. 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90038
The Magic Castle
This is one of the coolest places in LA. It's a historic magicians club. We love to see sleight-of-hand experts and listen to Erma the ghost play the piano. 7001 Franklin Avenue, Hollywood, CA 90028
Bob Baker Marionette Theater
Bob makes all of his amazing marionettes and his performances are brilliant. His Nutcracker Suite is sold out every year. 1345 West 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90026
Olvera Street
Our favorite place to get candied limes stuffed with coconut, and Mexican hot chocolate. Plus, there are always confetti eggs decorated in glitter, or red, green and white crayon. 845 North Alameda Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Ooga Booga
Our friend Wendy Yao's amazing store is somewhere near Annie Potts's character's record shop in Pretty in Pink… at least that's the way it feels. She has the most amazing collection of zines. 943 North Broadway # 203, Los Angeles, CA 90012
The Natural History Museum
The gem room is our favorite room in Los Angeles. It's lit in pale yellow and houses an incredible collection of Gold Rush jewelry. The walls are lined with glass shelves tinted by the jewel tones that rest on top. 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90007
Rose Tree Cottage
The only place in LA to have tea. You must drive out to Pasadena in order to have Edmund and Mary's famous scones and sticky toffee pudding! 801 South Pasadena Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91105
This former silent theater is covered in vines and violet neon light. A Los Angeles landmark. 611 North Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90036
The Prince
Located in Koreatown, this Camelot-inspired bar is part of LA history. A scene from Chinatown between Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway was even shot here. 198 1/2 West 7th St Los Angeles, CA 90005
Caravan Book Store
Our favorite bookstore. It's filled with antique ships and red velvet ribbons, and specializes in Californian history. It reminds us of a library in a 1950s Disney film. 550 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90071

One of our major early-summer projects is putting together the many flowering pots that beautify the terrace and courtyard at Coveside. The gardening books are full of examples of different flower combinations. But they don't tell a lot about the basics of putting together pots. Over the years, we've discovered what works for us, and thought we might share a couple of hints that apply to all pots. They concern potting medium, fertilizer, and mulch. First, the planting medium: After lugging around sacks and sacks of potting soil, of uneven quality, we asked our local nurseries what they use in their pots; the answer was always the same: ProMix. The stuff comes in compressed bails and is available at most garden supply stores. It must be mixed with water before using, but one bail goes a long way; and one or two bails are much easier to handle than countless bags of heavy, premoistened dirt. Most importantly, it has proved to be a great foundation for all our pots. Second: the fertilizer. Because pots are so heavily planted, they need a good dose of fertilizer for the individual plants to prosper. After burning some pots with too much conventional fertilizer, and starving others, we again got the advice of the local nurseries — Osmocote slow release fertilizer. A couple of tablespoons of the little pellets mixed at planting time in a good sized pot lasts a couple of months, and it's almost impossible to burn your plants. A good sized bag is expensive, but a little goes a long way.
Finally, we have started using dark mulch as a top dressing on all our pots. This accomplishes two things — first, in the early season, before the plants fill the pots, it's a lot better looking than the potting soil (with the white pellets that rise to the surface); second, it helps retain moisture, so you don't have to water the pots so often.
Here are some of this year's pots:
The dark leafed plant in the back is a tropical of the taro family; its full name is colocasia antiquorum "illustris." The front plant with the spotted leaves is called, appropriately, "spotted leopard plant" or Farfugium japonicum 'Aureomaculata.' The red accents are begonias. This pot wants shade or partial shade; so far, the morning sun in Maine hasn't caused problems; we'll see as the summer advances. We understand that the whole pot can be brought inside for the winter and we may try it.

Gold bonanza for Central Asia!
Sometimes names hide more meaning than appears at first sight. The mountain chain, point of junction between Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan was named Altai Mountains, which meaning in Mongolian is "Alt"(gold) and "tai" mountains".
The Gold Mountain comprises a natural UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its rich nature together with copper and silver resources, though it has been the gold resources underground the ones that drew the attention of the geologists of Gorny Altai-Expedition, a subsidiary of the Rosgeologiya company.
The group of geologists discovered a major gold deposit located to the north of the mountain chain. According to The Siberian Times, this gold mine could be worth $850 million. In the valley of the Anuy River in Ust-Kansk there could be nearly 22.2 tonnes
According to Bloomberg agency "China National Group Corporation signed framework agreement with Polyus Gold International Ltd. To cooperate on development of gold and nonferrous metal resources. Under the agreement, the two parties will carry out in-depth cooperation in such fields as development of mineral resources, technology exchanges, as well as materials supply."
The gold production of the deposit is expected to exceed 15 tonnes per year. Polyus Gold International Ltd is already the largest gold mining company in Russia, and this new gold deposit could therefore mean a rise in profit.

In 1995, jazz legends bassist Charlie Haden and pianist Hank Jones recorded a milestone of eloquent music, Steal Away, based largely on traditional spirituals and folk songs. The New York Times called the Grammy-nominated duo album "exquisite," while another reviewer wrote, "This is music by two masters, immersing themselves in a profound stream of American music."
Nearly 17 years later arrives the luminous follow-up, Come Sunday, recorded in February 2010 shortly before Jones passed away. It's another magical and reverent collaboration that plumbs the lyrical and transcendent depth of hymns, carols, spirituals, folk songs and classic tunes.

USC wide receiver Marqise Lee suffered a severely sprained knee and hopes to return for the Trojans' next game against Arizona on Oct. 10.
Lee walked on crutches Sunday at USC following the dismissal of Trojans coach Lane Kiffin. He said he would try to return after tests revealed no ligament damage.
If Lee cannot play, USC would have only Nelson Agholor and Victor Blackwell as its scholarship receivers. Lee suffered the injury getting tackled on a punt return against Arizona State on Saturday. There were initial fears he suffered torn ligaments but by the time USC left Sun Devil Stadium team doctors knew Lee was OK.
Player opinion split
Defensive end Devon Kennard and center Marcus Martin said Sunday they enjoyed playing for Kiffin.
Other players, however, who did not wish to be identified said respect waned for Kiffin last season because he focused more on certain players like quarterback Matt Barkley and also grew weary of his apologies after losses last season.
"He seemed to apologize every week," a player said. "It got old with us."
Making the call
Interim USC coach Ed Orgeron said offensive coordinator Clay Helton would call plays. It will be the first time he calls plays for the Trojans because Kiffin refused to relinquish play-calling duties before this season. Helton previously called plays at Memphis.
Two coaches unusual
Kiffin's firing in midseason and Orgeron's appointment as interim coach mean USC will have two coaches in a single season for the first time since 1888, which was the first year of the program.
Orgeron said he exchanged text messages with Kiffin on Sunday and they were all of a positive nature. Orgeron also said he would try to open practices to the media again after Kiffin closed them before the season.
Kiffin stats
Three opponents (Stanford, Oregon, Arizona State) set school records for points scored against USC during Kiffin's tenure. Stanford scored 56 in 2011, Oregon 62 in 2012 and Arizona State 62 in 2013.
Oregon also scored 53 points in 2010. That makes five consecutive seasons in which USC has given up 50-or-more points in a game. Prior to that, USC allowed more than 50 points in a game only twice in the entire history of the program.
In its first seven games against Arizona State at Sun Devil Stadium, the Trojans gave up a total of 83 points (1978, 20; 1982, 17; 1984, 3, 1985, 24; 1988, 0; 1990, 6; and 1992, 13).
In its last two games against Arizona State at Sun Devil Stadium, USC gave up a total of 103 points (2011, 31; 2013, 62).
