Tonight, the public will have another opportunity to attend one of six Interstate 11 study meetings sponsored by the Arizona Department of Transportation. The meeting will be held in the Marana Middle School cafeteria, located at 11285 W. Grier Road, from 5 to 7 p.m.
Area residents have started circulating a petition in opposition to the project. Nearly one thousand residents have signed the petition to date.
The petition reads in part:
We are vigorously opposed to any potential highway bypass route through the Avra Valley. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the Superintendant of Saguaro National Park, Arizona Game and Fish, Tohono O'odham Nation, Pima County Board of Supervisors, and hundreds of residents of Avra Valley are already on record as opposing such a bypass when it was proposed back in 2007.
Avra Valley residents are concerned about the damaging effects from a highway bypass such as increased air, water, and light pollution, traffic noise, loss of ancient archaeological sites, urban sprawl, and the forced end of the peaceful and quiet Avra Valley that they chose to raise their families in. The proposed highway bypass would also force 47 Avra Valley and Picture Rocks families from their homes to make room for the highway.
The Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, comprised of 41 environmental and community groups working in Pima County, states that the proposed Avra Valley highway bypass would negatively impact Saguaro National Park, Tucson Mountain Park, Ironwood Forest National Monument, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Central Arizona Project wildlife mitigation preserve. The Coalition further states that the proposed highway bypass would block important wildlife movement corridors as identified by Pima County's nationally-recognized Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, and that such impacts cannot be adequately mitigated.

Pima County Emails Show I-11 $15 Million Dollar Fraud
We urge the Pima County Administrator, Board of Supervisors, and the Arizona (ADOT) and Nevada (NDOT) transportation planners to reject a highway bypass through the Avra Valley because the community and environmental impacts could not be adequately mitigated. Instead, we recommend that transportation planning studies focus on expanding the capacity of existing transportation corridors, which already have the infrastructure (such as gas stations, hotels, restaurants, etc.) to support the traffic along those corridors.

Sammi x TGF Rose Signet Ring
We are proud to announce our latest ring is in collaboration with Sammi Jefcoate. Sammi has been a customer of ours for years which naturally developed into a friendship and now we're happy to say, a working partnership.
The collaboration and design evolved effortlessly – right place, right time – and with common interests it didn't take long for Sammi and Reino to agree on using Sammi's rose tattoo on her hand for inspiration for the ring design.
Using mixed metals of a 9ct yellow gold rose framed and set into a 925 sterling silver signet base, this design is probably our most feminine ring to date. It can be sized to a very small size, so it'll work great as a pinky ring as well as on your ring finger, middle or index fingers.

The ring will be available in sizes C-N. If you are unsure of your ring size, please pop in-store to get measured, or if that's not possible visit any local jewellery store and kindly ask them to measure your finger. Or, if you don't have a local jewellery store, you can purchase a ring sizer here.
We have also collaborated on one of Sammi's headscarves using the rose motif too, along with other Sammi design references.

Looking Labor-actors!
We are looking for someone who is willing to share the values of our project (families with kids, permaculturist, …), interested in living at Terulia for a medium-term period of time (from 1 to 4 months …): we will offer accommodation in exchange of a participation to the expenses of the house and we ask for some availability and interest to get involved in the countryside activities and in the activities of our laboratory of sustainability. Your involvement to the activities of the farm will vary according to the needs, and so will your remuneration.
The human-scale Laboratory of sustainability is made by "craftmens", who are willing to share practical activities, projects and games. If you want to participate to the activities, suggest things to do at Tertulia or just get other people involved in your project, contact us! Let's get in touch and let's try to do things together. Sharing is the best strategy: more heads, more ideas, more differences and of course more achievements!
Buid the changement
We like networking with groups and other organisations, from our neighbourhood or not, who are working towards change. The more, the better! Let's organise workshops and activities with experts or just between us! Tertulie, Laboratori.
Future Projects
During the first years of our project, we have worked to create our life in the countryside, and turned it into an Eco-village project. We have had really good experiences of living in a community and sharing our space with others. In 2015 our aim is to re-design some aspects of our project based on our past experiences to decide which will be the best way to make Tertulia grow.
We need enthusiastic people who can bring energy, ideas and also some funds to restore the village and to make Tertulia run at full speed!
For this reasons we are willing to hear from you, to listen and to share ideas: sharing projects brings abundance, motivation and great ideas!

What You Need To Know About Pick Up Artists
A pick up artist can be defined as a person who finds, attracts and seduces sexual partners. The goal of a pick up artist is to first create a connection with the partners they meet. Most guys today constantly obsess about becoming pick up artists. This is s because a pick up artist will be able to get you to like him or her after a very short while of knowing them. Pick up artists are known to get any girl's number after a very short while of meeting them. In this article, we look at pick up artists and what they do exactly so as to be the main attraction in a room.
Pick up artists exude confidence in all they do. It is important to note that a lot of women look for confidence in a man and if you exude it, you are sure to have a long line of them. It is important to note that he is not only confident, but also makes a woman feel comfortable around them. Because of their confidence, even in their strides, pick up artists gain the attention of everybody in any room they enter because their poises show that they know how to handle themselves well.
Pick up artists do everything possible to ensure that they look presentable. This is because looks are a deal breaker here when it comes to attracting women. To get to use your skills on a woman, you have to first ensure that they do not dismiss you upon seeing you and hence the need to place a lot of time and effort into looks. It is important to note that just because you wear expensive clothing does not mean you are presentable, rather you can be presentable by simply ensuring that you are clean and neat.
It is important to note that good pick up artists have a good sense of humour. A sense of humour will ensure that you attract women into conversing with you. Inviting a woman to converse with you is the hardest part and after you get through this, you can share your thoughts or experiences which will lead into you building friendships or even relationships.
Good pick up artists know how to distinguish what women like from what they do not. Pick up artists understand these need for politeness in their art and they therefore strive to be polite and have polite gestures such as handing women their drinks when they are in clubs.
Pick up artists understand now the need to flirt after meeting a woman they like. If you are attracted to a woman, be sure to look deep into their eyes and smile at them. Flirting can be done using words, looks or actions. Pick up artists understand the difference between flirting and insulting because some words or actions could be considered insulting.

Project Overview
Slow Release Natural/Organic Fertilizers in Nursery Crop Production
- Additional Plants: ornamentals
- Crop Production: organic fertilizers, application rate management
- Education and Training: farmer to farmer, on-farm/ranch research, participatory research
- Soil Management: soil analysis, nutrient mineralization, soil quality/health
Proposal summary:
Recent studies have reviewed the use of slow release/controlled release fertilizers in nursery container production and the additional problems of run off, release rates, self reminders, etc. we would like to compare growth rates and crop saleability for natural, organic slow release vs. conventional controlled release fertilizers. In the studies which I have read, no one actually used any natural organic fertilizers. We would like to compare these two fertilizer systems on these commonly grown nursery crops: little princess, blue rug juniper and dwarf, and burning bush.

Year four's final session for this academic year.
There were some expressions of regret until Tawny Owl pointed out that it might be next term that they return to the woods.
Both groups had the opportunity to make and eat damper bread today, with the proviso that if they wanted to eat, they had to be involved in making and keeping the fire going (which included cutting and splitting wood), or mixing and making the dough. Several children were found to be rather resentful of this condition, which we talked about; we hope this might lead to rather more co-operation and collaboration in future – we shall see! In their defence, Birch group worked really well together to build an amazing shelter; and then equally well to clear it away, folding the tarps and getting them back in the bags afterwards.
It was lovely to see and hear from some of the children about how much they appreciate and realise how fortunate they are to benefit from their Forest School sessions. The damper bread was a triumph – the adults decided that the cheesy damper bread with Marmite was the best! However, one member of the group had cheesy damper bread with chocolate spread! It is of no surprise that the children who gain most from Forest School and return to the classroom with the greatest satisfaction and largest smiles, are those who contribute most to the session.
Birch group in particular were very good at helping begin the task of returning some of the equipment back to school for the holiday. Larch group also did their bit but were not so good at listening to where it all had to go back at school.
It was noted by the adults that the work that Mrs Omer had been doing back at school following the Paws b curriculum is already showing results. We observed some rather angry exchanges between a group of boys (lots of hitting trees with sticks and shouting); as it reached a high point, one boy removed himself from the group and took himself right away, sat cross legged on the woodland floor and was seen breathing deeply. After a short while, he returned to the group, and then very quickly chose another activity. Wonderful!
We met lots of examples of Science in the woods today – the question was asked about why the damper bread dough got bigger when it was cooked (the bicarbonate of soda reacts with the milk to produce bubbles of carbon dioxide); also, Mayfly joined us with her ink making kit, and we learned about acids and alkalis (watch this space as I am hoping she will give us a bit more information to add to this blog). In addition to this, we used the off-cuts of the hazel we used to make cooking sticks with to make charcoal. Mayfly explained to the children how, after burning off some of the wood (water and hydrogen) in the absence of oxygen, we are left with carbon.

Marco Scutaro had a pair of 2 run singles to lead the Red Sox in brisk, windy, rainy 6-3 win. John Lackey contributed another great start against an AL West opponent, going 8 innings, allowing 3 runs (2 earned), and striking out a season high 10.
I really don't have much to say about this game except that it's exactly what the Red Sox must do at this point. They have to beat 76 loss teams like the Mariners. They have to get excellent starting pitching, 2 out hitting (3 of the Sox' 6 runs came with 2 outs), and hitting with runners in scoring position (Sox were 3 for 6 in that situation).
Josh Beckett needs to show something tonight. He opposes David Pauley, a 27 year old with 12 career starts under his belt.

Some people go the Selena Gomez route and wear the coziest clothes possible while traveling. And others do it like Priyanka Chopra did this morning in Nice, France: the actress was photographed in the airport wearing a white blouse, white blazer, and white slacks. It was a polished, sharp monochrome look to mark her arrival for the Cannes Film Festival.
Chopra teased she was going to the Cannes Film Festival last night on her Instagram Story. "What time is it? Time for Cannes with Chopard."
This is Chopra's first time at the Cannes Film Festival. It's a couple hours until the next premiere there, but the actress could make her red carpet debut later today in what would be one of her ritziest red carpets of the year.
Chopra was last photographed out with her husband Nick Jonas after his Saturday Night Live appearance with his brothers. She wore all white then too, pairing a cream dress with a silky white blazer:
Chopra's last big red carpet was the Met Gala earlier this May. There, she had Glenda the Good Witch vibes, wearing wore a Dior gown, a crown, and colorful eye makeup.
Chopra's Cannes red carpet look is likely to be more old Hollywood than Camp, with Chopra posting three photos of Princess Diana, Sophia Loren, and Grace Kelly at Cannes to possibly hint at her fashion inspiration. As a guest of Chopard, Chopra is likely to be wearing tons of diamonds tonight, so expect a big gown with lots of sparkle.

Gil Minor III grew up in the healthcare supply chain industry. He is the fifth generation of George Gilmer Minors and the fourth generation to lead Owens & Minor. He is one of the most influential and respected leaders in our industry.
As a young boy, his father would take him to Owens & Minor's warehouse where he would ride the conveyor belts from the third floor to the first. His father explained to him that the conveyor system always moved the boxes forward, never backward, because it was key that the company always move forward. Gil Minor never forgot that lesson.
Gil joined the company in 1963 upon graduation from The Virginia Military Institute. He worked and became familiar with all positions in the office and warehouse. During this time he spent hours with O&M teammates to get a sense of what worked, what didn't, and what needed to be improved. Always a great listener, he took these ideas and suggestions and formulated his plans for the future. These plans paid off handsomely and, under Gil's leadership, the company continued to move forward, pioneering many new concepts, including the Activity-Based Costing method for pricing distribution services, Low Unit of Measure/Stockless services, and many other innovations.
Gil always stressed that a company should reinvent itself every three to five years. Because of this belief, Owens & Minor has made changes and taken the necessary steps to ensure that its reputation of being the most efficient, low-cost healthcare supply distributor in the industry is intact. Most important however, is his philosophy: "Be honest, always, and know that there is no right way to do a wrong thing."
Gil Minor has been with Owens & Minor his entire work life. From the day he started in 1963 until his retirement in 2005, a career spanning 43 years, he consistently perpetuated his passion and never-say-die attitude for the business. That same spirit and passion exists today in his position as chairman and retired CEO. He was determined that Owens & Minor would be the leader in healthcare supply chain management, a goal that was realized.
In his career, Gil Minor has worn many hats and worn them well. In 1970, he headed up Owens & Minor's Cardinal Drug Centers, a merchandising program for independent drug stores. This highly successful program helped these independents compete with national chains. His next position, in 1978, was operations manager for the entire company where he was responsible for many innovative concepts. And in 1980, the board appointed him President and COO. This was followed by his promotion to President and CEO in 1984 and to Chairman and CEO in 1994.
During this period of time his personal beliefs of team, honesty, integrity, humility, and determination, have permeated and left a lasting imprint on the organization.
There are both tangible and intangible ways to measure Gil's impact on the organization. At the top of the list would be his focus on the company's culture, which includes operating the business with integrity and the highest ethical standards, treating teammates with respect, and taking care of customers. Because of this undying commitment, the company's market growth soared to new heights. When Gil Minor joined the company in 1963, revenues approached $12 million. When he retired in 2005, that number had climbed to $4.5 billion.
During his business career, Gil Minor has served on numerous corporate, community and state-affiliated boards. His longest tenure is the Owens & Minor Board that he joined in 1980. This is followed by his 12 years as a member of the board of directors of Sun Trust, Inc., Atlanta, Georgia.
One of Gil's greatest interests is education and he currently serves on the Virginia Common-wealth University School of Business Foundation. He is also very active at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia, where he has given numerous presentations on business with a particular emphasis on ethics. In 2009, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine appointed him to the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia Board, and in 2010, he was appointed by Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell to the Governor's Commission on Higher Education Reform, Innovation and Investment.
These are great accomplishments, but he is most proud of his idea to create Owens & Minor University. The mission of the University, started in 2003, is to create a learning culture that educates, develops and empowers Owens & Minor teammates to be the very best. The University continues to grow and in 2009, there were 55,000 course completions. Although retired, Gil makes it a point to talk with teammates attending classes.
Gil served as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Virginia Health Care Foundation and was president from July 2003 – June 2005.
Over the years, Gil has received many awards, to include the United Negro College Fund's Flame Bearer of Education Award, the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award, the B'nai B'rith National Healthcare Award, the Greater Richmond Business Hall of Fame award, and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund Award of Excellence. One of his most prestigious awards occurred in 2001 when he was named Virginia Industrialist of the Year.
Gil has been interviewed and appeared in many trade journals. He has spoken to healthcare organizations throughout the country where his messages are well-received and taken to heart. Kind, generous, decisive, knowledgeable, humble and determined to succeed is what this great leader is all about.
What do you think about Bellwether League Inc.'s mission and philosophy and how do you feel about becoming an Honoree?
I am very honored. This is a great organization, and I am incoming in with a great group of individuals.
What attracted and motivated you to join the healthcare supply chain management field when you did?
I was struggling with grades in early high school. After a serious talk with my Dad I gave my future a lot of serious thought. Going into the family business was the right thing for me. It required a lot of focus and effort. The son of the boss has to work harder to show they can do it and are worthy.
For what one contribution would you like to be most remembered?
Building on and maintaining O&M's reputation for teamwork, honesty, integrity and trust. Building bridges between healthcare supply chain partners, and providing the value of the distributor every day.
If you were to encourage people – either outside of healthcare or just out of school – to enter the supply chain management field and potentially qualify to be a future Bellwether League Inc. Honoree, what would you tell them?
Healthcare is a growth industry, and there are lots of opportunities to get involved and make a difference. People coming in have a chance to build the future and work through the challenges of reform and growth. Supply Chain will have a huge impact on that.
What is the one industry challenge you would like to see solved in your lifetime?
Establishing trust between supply chain partners. It must be earned. But each partner has to recognize that the others have their own objectives and priorities. The common denominator is that each one has to be efficient and either save something or make a profit, and there is nothing wrong with that. Working together to achieve those goals is the best model.
How important is effective and innovative supply chain management during tough economic times?
Supply chain will be an engine; it will support care provided and drive the bottom line.

Patients told Soho Square General Practice is "not financially viable"
Patients to clash with private health company managers at meeting next week
29 September, 2017 — By Joe Cooper
Councillor Paul Church
SOHO Square General Practice faces losing one of its two GPs and its walk-in service under "radical" plans put forward by health care providers.
Living Care Medical Services say the practice, which they took over in August 2016, is not financially viable in its present form – according to a letter from the Patients' Participation Group (PPG).
The PPG is "strongly urging" patients to attend a meeting at the practice on Monday, 6.30pm, at the Soho Square Health Centre, to hear Living Care lay out its proposals, which are due to come into effect on December 1. The PPG were only made aware last week and were not consulted.
The practice was saved from closure in 2014 when a host of residents' groups in the West End – including the Soho Society, Covent Garden Community Association, Westminster LGBT Forum and the Chinese Community Centre – campaigned to save it. It was at that time operated by the Central London Community Healthcare Trust.
The current proposals would leave 5,000 patients with just one GP. There are currently two experienced GPs, Stephen Chee-Kin Cheung and Louis Daniel Brassey, a part-time nurse, a practice manager, administrative support, and a receptionist.
The plans have raised fears that one of the two doctors, who both have great experience in working with the large local Chinese community and the LGBT community, could be under threat. Dr Cheung is a native Mandarin speaker and Dr Brassey has learnt some of the language to help patients who speak little English.
Soho councillor and lead member for LGBT Paul Church said: "We fought really hard to save the surgery the last time around. I think it is really important that the community are consulted on these changes. The two doctors are very well respected and have a really good understanding of the communities they serve."
According to a letter sent by the PPG to patients, the plans will mean: patients will phone in, at any time of the day, and speak to a member of a triage team at a hub that will provide this service for all their London surgeries – it will not be possible to book an appointment any other way; the current system under which patients can arrive at the surgery each morning and will be seen by a doctor will cease and there will be just one doctor
and one or more Advanced Nurse Practitioner based at the surgery, supported by junior staff, instead of two.
A spokesman for Living Care said they did not want to comment in detail before the meet- ing the PPG. "We feel it is a duty of care to have those discussions first with them," a spokesman said. "The PPG is elected to rep- resent patients and has been a very positive group during the first year of the contract.
"Living Care looks forward to a positive and supportive relationship with the PPG to grow the practice and create the conditions to make it stable and assure its longevity."

If you like big, bold, and bright, you'll love the artistic style of Janice Serilla.
The Santa Cruz artist, a runner-up for Best Pet Artist in Bay Woof's Beast of the Bay 2017 contest, paints pets using acrylic paint as her medium. Their usually straight-ahead faces peer from vibrant solid or patterned backgrounds, and just by looking, a viewer can almost feel the pet's wet nose, his wiry coat, or her hot breath. These canines (and other animals) wink, smile, and demure. Serilla's stylized paintings are equally as good at conveying whimsical and goofy characters as they are at depicting lovable rascals, surprised pups, and the aloof lapdog.
Serilla said in recent telephone interview with Bay Woof that she is a self-taught artist, having begun her career with graphite and color pencils. She moved from Detroit to Santa Cruz in 2009, "got crafty with sewing," and eventually started designing and making fabric handbags as Mackerilla Design. Today she sells patterns for the Mackerilla handbag designs on online retail sites and ETSY.
Four years ago, Serilla joined the world of painting in earnest, picking up brushes and supplies locally, and plunged in. A longtime animal lover, she chose pets and animals as her subject and practiced by doing paintings of her friends' pets.
"I was clueless," the 53-year-old said. "I thought, 'I suck,' but I kept practicing and homed my skills." Her artistic talents soon gained her bona fide clients. "I just do it. I don't know any different," she said about her technique. "I love being creative."
Serilla often works from clear close-ups of pets as her model and in each painting strives to reach and reveal the animal's true spirit.
"It's my interpretation," she said of the portraits. Often they are posthumous paintings, a little tough, she said. Something Serilla, fresh from the recent loss of a favored Papillon, quickly revealed about herself in the interview is her love for elderly and disabled animals, of which she has fostered and nursed many, as well as her fondness for the Papillon breed. Serilla said she donates a portion of pet painting sales to shelters or groups with special needs animals.
"Disabled animals always come to me," she said. "They chose me."
Locals may have recently seen some of her work on labels for bottles of Flanders Oud Bruin at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery, her artwork a riff on the famous Cassius Marcellus Coolidge portraits of dogs playing poker; her dogs are drinking beer. She also hopes to participate in the fall's Arts Council Santa Cruz County's Open Studios event in October. Learn more at about Serilla at www.JaniceSerilla.com.

Say What?!
Oh mah gawd! I woke up to the news today that I have been put on Instagram's Suggested User List!
First of all, thanks Instagram, and second of all, whaaaat?
I'm just a little blown away that I have been chosen. It's an honour.
I first joined Instagram in Dec 2010 and was one of those people who posted sporadically and wasn't entirely sure how or why I should use this app. I posted a lot of random photos in the beginning - food, nails, selfies - the usual cliche Instagram shots. It wasn't until this year when I moved to Hong Kong, that this app came into it's own.
Edward (The Husband) has been using this app from the beginning and is pretty darn good at taking photos. You can follow him on Instagram here - @edwardkb. He had previously done a Project 365, taking a photo a day for a whole year, and once we found out we were moving to Hong Kong, I decided that it would be the perfect time for me to do my own Project 365.
I am currently half way through the my project and adventure, and not only has documenting it been fun, I think I'm getting better at taking photos. It's also been my main way to make new friends in a new city.
Needless to say, I am kinda addicted to Instagram. Looking at lovely pictures is fun and the creativity of people who use this app is inspiring, but so far I think the best part is the community. It sounds cheesy, but it's true - everyone is just so friendly!
Anyway, if you want to follow me or my Project 365, you can find me on Instagram - @Jesso and look under the hashtag #Jess_A_Day.
If you're looking for new people to follow on Instagram, check out the other people on the list. You can find it by:
- Going to the 'Options/Setting' icon on the app. (You'll usally find this in the top right corner when you're looking at your own profile).
- Tap on 'Find People to follow'
- Tap on 'Instagram Suggested'
Let me know who you're favourite Instagrammers are in the comments. It's always fun to find new and inspiring photos.

From SWEM projection work, two important generalizations can be drawn. First, primary production, as controlled by either the availability of nutrients, light, or residence time is location specific. For the Lower Hudson River Estuary and contiguous waterways, the areas for which primary production is controlled by the availability of nutrients include western Long Island Sound and New York Bight
and potentially portions of Raritan Bay. This conclusion is supported by measured data. Dissolved inorganic nitrogenmeasurementscollectedinNew York/New Jersey Harbor during August 1995 have been separated into three groups: greater than 0.25 mg/l, between 0.25 mg/l and 0.05 mg/l, and less than 0.05 mg/l. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen measurements less than 0.05 mg/l, as observed in western Long Island Sound and New York Bight, indicate that nitrogen is limiting algal growth. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen measurements between 0.05 and 0.25, as observed in Raritan Bay, indicate that while nitrogen levels are low enough to contribute to less thanmaximum algal growth, the algal growth is being controlled more by light availability and residence time in the photic zone than by nitrogen availability. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen measurements greater than 0.25 mg/l, as observed throughout most of New York/New Jersey Harbor including the Hudson River Estuary, indicate that algal growth is not being limited by nitrogen, but almost entirely by these other factors. Our results imply that:
1. increasing or decreasing the amount of nitrogen reaching western Long Island Sound and New York Bight will affect algal growth directly,
2. increasing or decreasing nitrogen will have a more limited effect on algal growth in Raritan Bay, and
3. increasing or decreasing nitrogen will have even less effect on algal growth in most areas of New York/New Jersey Harbor, including the Hudson River Estuary.
The second observation from SWEM projection work concerns the location-specific relative significance that nitrogen and carbon have on the resulting dissolved oxygen deficit. Model projection results show that the relative contributions of nitrogen and carbon to dissolved oxygen deficit vary significantly by location. For example, on a summer average basis, carbon accounts for 68 percent of the dissolved oxygen deficit andnitrogen accounts for 32 percent of the dissolved oxygen deficit at a location in the lower Hudson River Estuary along Manhattan Island. This is consistent with the fact that oxidation of allochthonous (that is, from point and nonpoint sources rather than from primary production) carbon is a large component of the dissolved oxygen budget in the lower Hudson River Estuary. Conversely, nitrogen accounts for 62 percent of the dissolved oxygen deficit and carbon accounts for 38 percent of the dissolved oxygen deficit at a given location in western Long Island Sound. This is consistent with western Long Island Sound being nutrient limited and algal processing of nitrogen (that is, primary production) dominating the dissolved oxygen balance.
The comprehensive and regional nature of models such as SWEM are useful to both the New York/New Jersey Harbor Estuary Program (HEP) and the Long Island Sound Study (LISS), as well as the City of New York. Since 1994, SWEM has undergone extensive technical review by panels of experts convened by both HEP and the LISS. A future applicationofSWEMmayincludethe development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs)/wasteload allocations (WLAs) for the Harbor, Bight, and Sound to the extent necessary to attain appropriate water uses and standards in the Lower Hudson River Estuary, the New York/New Jersey Harbor, and adjacent water bodies.

Music and technology always go together. Without paper, there is no fugue or counterpoint.
Acoustic instruments are the result of several centuries of innovations. Electronic synthesisers
have enriched music with- a wide range of novel sounds. Without digital technology, popular
music in the twenty-first century is unthinkable.
At Sony CSL, we imagine the technology for the music of the next decade. Our researchers
work with musicians and content providers to push the boundaries of creativity and understand
the complexity of modern music production processes. By combining cutting-edge A.I. research
with a strong musical expertise, we develop the artificial intelligence that will extend the scope of
the musician's capabilities. We pave the way for musical experiences yet to imagine.
Learning features from data has shown to be more successful than using hand-crafted features for many machine learning tasks. Inmusicinformationretrieval(MIR), features learned from windowed spectrograms are highly variant to transformations like transposition or time-shift. Such variances are undesirable when they are irrelevant for the respective MIR task. We propose an architecture called Complex Autoencoder (CAE) which learns features invariant to orthogonal transformations. Mapping signals onto complex basis functions learned by the CAE results in a transformation-invariant "magnitude space" and a transformation-variant"phase space". Thephasespaceis useful to infer transformations between data pairs. When exploiting the invariance-property of the magnitude space, we achieve state-of-the-art results in audio-to-score alignment and repeated section discovery for audio. A PyTorch implementation of the CAE,including the repeated section discovery method, is available online.
Exponential families and mixture families are parametric probability models that can be geometrically studied as smooth statistical manifolds with respect to any statistical divergence like the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence or the Hellinger divergence. When equipping a statistical manifold with the KL divergence, the induced manifold structure is dually flat, and the KL divergence between distributions amounts to an equivalent Bregman divergence on their corresponding parameters. In practice, the corresponding Bregman generators of mixture/exponential families require to perform definite integral calculus that can either be too time-consuming (for exponentially large discrete support case) or even do not admit closed-form formula (for continuous support case). In these cases, the dually flat construction remains theoretical and cannot be used by information-geometric algorithms. To bypass this problem, we consider performing stochastic Monte Carlo (MC) estimation of those integral-based mixture/exponential family Bregman generators. We show that, under natural assumptions, these MC generators are almost surely Bregman generators. We define a series of dually flat information geometries, termed Monte Carlo Information Geometries, that increasingly-finely approximate the untractable geometry. The advantage of this MCIG is that it allows a practical use of the Bregman algorithmic toolbox on a wide range of probability distribution families. We demonstrate our approach with a clustering task on a mixture family manifold. We then show how to generate MCIG for arbitrary separable statistical divergence between distributions belonging to a same parametric family of distributions.
Inpainting-based generative modeling allows for stimulating human-machine interactions by letting users perform stylistically coherent local editions to an object using a statistical model. We presentNONOTO, a new interface for interactive music generation based on in-painting models. It is aimed both at researchers, by offering a simple and flexible API allowing them to connect their own models with the interface, and at musicians by providing industry-standard features such as audio playback, real-time MIDI output and straightforward synchronization with DAWs using Ableton Link.
Creative industries constantly strive for fame and popularity. Though highly desirable, popularity is not the only achievement artistic creations might ever acquire. Leaving a longstanding mark in the global production and influencing future works is an even more important achievement, usually acknowledged by experts and scholars. 'Significant' or 'influential' works are not always well known to the public or have sometimes been long forgotten by the vast majority. In this paper, we focus on the duality between what is successful and what is significant in the musical context. To this end, we consider a user-generated set of tags collected through an online music platform, whose evolving co-occurrence network mirrors the growing conceptual space underlying music production. We define a set of general metrics aiming at characterizing music albums throughout history, and their relationships with the overall musical production. We show how these metrics allow to classify albums according to their current popularity or their belonging to expert-made lists of important albums. In this way, we provide the scientific community and the public at large with quantitative tools to tell apart popular albums from culturally or aesthetically relevant artworks. The generality of the methodology presented here lends itself to be used in all those fields where innovation and creativity are in play.
We introduce a Maximum Entropy model able to capture the statistics of melodies in music. The model can be used to generate new melodies that emulate the style of a given musical corpus. Instead of using the n–body interactions of (n−1)–order Markov models, traditionally used in automatic music generation, we use a k-nearest neighbour model with pairwise interactions only. In that way, we keep the number of parameters low and avoid over-fitting problems typical of Markov models. We show that long-range musical phrases don't need to be explicitly enforced using high-order Markov interactions, but can instead emerge from multiple, competing, pairwise interactions. We validate our Maximum Entropy model by contrasting how much the generated sequences capture the style of the original corpus without plagiarizing it. To this end we use a data-compression approach to discriminate the levels of borrowing and innovation featured by the artificial sequences. Our modelling scheme outperforms both fixed-order and variable-order Markov models. This shows that, despite being based only on pairwise interactions, our scheme opens the possibility to generate musically sensible alterations of the original phrases, providing a way to generate innovation.

Parker and Hickson claimed that they were "conscious but paralyzed" while three "creatures" took them aboard the object and subjected them to an examination before releasing them. The incident earned substantial mass media attention.

"The foldable Intel device has a three-part foldable design, creating a bezelless smartphone and a massive tablet with dedicated stylus slot"
Intel's efforts at a foldable smartphone were detailed in a patent quite some time ago. Now, Let's Go Digital has published renders based on the patent, showing what the device might look like if brought into production with the patent sketches. The design is slightly different from the conventional foldable smartphone designs that OEMs across the world have employed so far, with this one showing a three-part foldable design.
As per the renders, the device can be folded into a smartphone with bleeding edge borders, with earpiece and other sensors embedded underneath the display. Once folded, the form factor becomes rather thick, although that is understandable given that it has a threefold design. Once unfolded, it opens up into a tablet with a massive display that can stow away a stylus within the folded creases. The stylus can obviously be used for doodling as well as improving productivity. The device may also have customised firmware, which could allow one part of it to be folded and used as a prop-up stand.
It can also be folded into a triangular form, which in turn would facilitate a smartphone that can be propped up to view content easily on. In terms of the firmware, a customised interface may be designed to allow switching between tablet, smaller tablet and smartphone form factors, with automatically adapting software. It may also come close to the type of a mobile-PC merging form factor device that Microsoft is reported to be exploring with its Project Andromeda concept.
The patent matches the targeted description of a device that can fit in pockets, make calls, take superior photographs and videos, work as an art and productivity device, and be suited as a convertible lightweight PC, hence merging all form factors into one device. There are difficulties to implementing this design — folding it three times would make it a rather bulky to hold. While we have extensively covered how Google (with its upcoming Fuchsia OS) and Microsoft are working on making adaptive operating systems that can switch in form between smartphones, tablets and laptops, we are still some time away from realising such a device in real life, production form.
Even if Intel does go ahead with this patent and puts it into production in partnership with an OEM, we are pretty much certain that it will not happen any time soon. That said, the realm of devices with variable form factor, adaptive operating system and ultra-portability are bound to increase over the next few years, which is when this patent of Intel's can prove to be highly relevant to the industry.

(Paper) : TCS Placement Paper Pattern at Infocity Gandhinagar
Paper : TCS Placement Paper Pattern at Infocity Gandhinagar
Myself KHYATI PANCHAL, a student of SVIT VASAD studying in 6th Sem ELECTONICS AND COMMUNICATIONS. I was really very passionate about TCS so I worked really very hard to get job at TCS. So first of all I want to share with u all about my aptitude exam.
The test is taken online. For this aptitude plz refer R S AGARWAL (QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE) and also VERBAL AND NON - VERBAL SECTION. Mainly for maths part refer the last years papers it would be quite helpful for u.
Our technical interview was at INFOCITY GANDHINAGAR. I was the third candidate for the interview. I was interviewed by two of the panels.
first of all they asked me to introduce myself.
Then they asked me about my project which I had done on DEW GUARD.
Also asked me to explain about my seminar on INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REMOTE SENSING AND GIS.
Then they tested my knowledge on programming side i.e. C and C++. I was not so sure about the program but my logic was good. then they asked me about difference between C and C++.
So my interview was over after 15-20 minutes. After that I got my results within 10 minutes. At 11:30 am I was relieved by knowing that I have cleared the technical interview.
Our HR interview was going to start at 2:30 pm but due to some reasons it started at 4:45pm. But my HR interview was really very cool and calm. They made me quite comfortable and thus asked me about my hobbies and my liking to join TCS. Then I was also asked the meaning of my name. And so it was really a very good experience. But they didnt declared the results on that day. They told us that they would send it to our college. Next day when we moved to college we all were very desperate to know our results. Finally our HOD came at 1:30pm and announced the results. So at last my passion my hard work and also last but not the least by GOD's grace I achieved my goal at TCS.
Finally now I m selected for TCS. Plz do HARD WORK and have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE which would help u a lot.
