Rebuking Huawei's claim that it is a harmless provider of consumer telecommunications services, British cybersecurity specialists on Thursday ruled that the firm's inclusion in 5G network facilitation would be dangerous.
This supports active U.S. efforts to exclude Huawei from global 5G networks. China is aggressively resisting the U.S. on this, because Huawei is its primary intended proxy for cyberespionage in the 21st century.
But this report, under the auspices of Britain's NSA equivalent, is especially important for two reasons. First, because it comes from the NSA's top foreign partner and some of the world's top cybersecurity experts. Second, because it represents forensic insight into how China would use Huawei to conduct espionage operations.
The report's takeaway is clear: It offers only "limited assurance that all risks to UK national security from Huawei's involvement in the UK's critical networks can be sufficiently mitigated long-term." This is thanks to "significant technical issues in Huawei's engineering processes." Specifically, Huawei has failed to embrace "universally applied… configuration item types (source code, build tools, build scripts etc). Without good configuration management, there can be no end-to-end integrity in the products as delivered by Huawei."
The report adds that even where Huawei has been told specifically how to close down these backdoors, its product "continues to demonstrate a significant number of major defects. The NCSC therefore remains concerned that Huawei's software engineering and cyber security competence and associated processes are failing to improve sufficiently." With typical British understatement, the report notes that this is exacerbated because of "the currently unknown trajectory of Huawei's [research and development] processes."
Of course, Huawei's failure to resolve identified issues is not coincidental. It reflects the Chinese government's interest in creating backdoors in hidden cyber-telecommunications spaces that will allow Chinese intelligence collection in the future. The report hints as much by asserting that
The number and severity of vulnerabilities discovered, along with architectural and build issues, by the relatively small team… is a particular concern. If an attacker has knowledge of these vulnerabilities and sufficient access to exploit them, they may be able to affect the operation of the network, in some cases causing it to cease operating correctly. Other impacts could include being able to access user traffic or reconfiguration of the network elements.
No excrement, Sherlock.
Here, "access user traffic or reconfiguration of the network elements" should translate as "use 5G network access to turn the network or significant elements therein into one big Chinese signal intelligence targeting and collection program. But the report shows that China is trying to be crafty: fixing limited issues to gain a pretense of concern for western security, but simultaneously creating new backdoors.
Fortunately, this report shows the gambit is failing. Reports like this one will help the U.S. and U.K. educate their allies as to the risks of entertaining Huawei's sour claim of mutual interest. Huawei is a Chinese intelligence cutout in foundation, intent, and action. It must be restricted as such.

Indonesia's forestry department has announced plans for the establishment of a major tiger sanctuary for illegally trapped and captured Sumatran tigers. With just 300 individual tigers left in the wild the new plan will be a major contribution towards helping prevent the extinction of the species.
The tiger sanctuary will be developed in Riau province and will consist of semi-natural land that will be developed to replicate a true tiger habitat. The Forestry Ministry are working with experts from Yogyakarta's Gadjah Mada University (UGM) to get the tiger sanctuary established and it is hoped to be completed next year.

Top tips for greener waste, composting and recycling
Learn to recycle your food waste, what to do with garden waste and what not to compost in our guide with Recycle Now.
Food Recycling
Waste food has a big impact on climate change as most of it ends up in landfill sites where it rots and releases methane into the environment. But some food waste, such as egg shells, banana skins and tea bags, is inevitable.
If you live in an area that has a local food waste recycling collection service, you can use this to dispose of anything you can't eat or compost at home.
A food waste caddy in your kitchen can help you to separate out your food waste for recycling and composting. This can be emptied into your compost bin or council food waste bin every couple of days.
Your council may recommend that you line your food waste caddy with a liner or newspaper. Only use liners that are recommended by your council as some may not break down in the composting process.
Recycle Now have food recycling tips from people who recycle their food waste.
Garden waste
When garden waste is recycled it is transformed into nutrient-rich soil conditioner.
Most types of garden waste can be recycled, including bark, flowers, grass and hedge cuttings, leaves, plants, small branches, twigs and weeds.
If you are unable to compost at home, you can take it to your local garden waste recycling point or put it into your garden waste collection scheme, if you have one, where it will then be taken to a central composting facility to be processed.
Composting is an inexpensive, natural process that transforms your kitchen and garden waste into a valuable and nutrient rich food for your garden. Compost will help improve soil structure, maintain moisture levels, and keep your soil's pH balance in check while helping to suppress plant disease.
Ideally site your compost bin in a reasonably sunny spot on bare soil – it makes it very easy for beneficial microbes and insects to gain access to the rotting material. It also allows for better aeration and drainage, both important to successful composting.
To make the best compost aim for a balance of 50% greens and 50% browns in your compost bin to get the right mix.
'Greens' are quick to rot and provide important nitrogen and moisture, examples include:
· Brussels sprout stalk
· Carrot tops
· Citrus peel
· Coffee grounds
· Cut flowers
· Fruit peelings and pulp
· Fruit seeds
· Grass mowings
· Hay
· Hedge clippings
· House plants
· Ivy leaves
· Nettles
· Poisonous plants
· Soft prunings and plant debris
· Tea leaves and bags
· Vegetable peelings and pulp
'Browns' are slower to rot, provide carbon & fibre and allow air pockets to form, examples include:
· Autumn leaves
· Cardboard
· Corn starch liners
· Cotton towels
· Cotton wool
· Egg boxes
· Egg shells
· Natural corks
· Nuts
· Paper bags
· Straw
· Sweetcorn cobs
· Thorny prunings
· Tomato plants
· Used kitchen paper
· Vacuum cleaner contents
· Wood ash
· Wool
Keep this out! Certain things should never be placed in your compost bin.
· Bones
· Bread
· Cans
· Cat litter
· Cigarette ends
· Cling film
· Coal ash
· Crisp packets
· Dairy products
· Disposable nappies
· Dog faeces
· Dog food
· Drink cartons
· Meat and fish scraps
· Olive oil
· Plastic bags
· Plastic bottles
· Soiled tissues

After a successful high school and college career as a goalkeeper I was left with great memories, but tremendous knee pain. I was diagnosed with osteochondritis dissecans with a large defect that needed repair. After receiving microfracture knee surgery in 2011 I was still not healed and had continuous pain. After many months of research to find the best doctors I chose a team who recommended an allograft transplant surgery. Knowing I was going to need a lot of physical therapy post op, I also researched many physical therapists and found Megan Reilly Jurik and The Recovery Room. Before the transplant I contacted and visited Megan to see if it was a good fit. Megan had unbelievable knowledge on the transplant surgery I was having, talked me through the protocol for therapy even before my surgeon spoke to me about it post op, knew my doctors and their work in the field, and put me completely at ease both physically and mentally before my operation. Megan contacted me before, during, and after my surgery to see how I was feeling and also talked me through all the home therapy I needed to complete before I can return to see her. I felt like she was at my house helping me with my continuous passive motion machine, the game ready ice machine, and any questions i had about discomfort or pain. I know I am in great hands for my recovery and highly reccomend her 100%
Jen A.
I am so grateful for Megan Jurik and the Recovery Room in Waldwick!! The office is great and I love the one-on-one physical therapy approach, it has truly helped me to learn all the tools I need to properly exercise with the therapists and at home. Megan also has helped me to understand the my condition and symptoms by breaking it down into layman's terms. Thank you for helping me become stronger every day!

Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation." Heb. 9:28.
NOTE. - That is, to those who stand waiting and watching for His appearance as did the people of Israel for their high priest to appear to them, Christ will appear to His people; and at that time He will have laid upon the head of the great scapegoat (Satan) the sins of His people, which have been atoned for. Then Satan will bear these sins (as did the typical scapegoat) to an uninhabited region, the desolated earth while the saints will be enjoying the glories of heaven during the one thousand years. When will the sins of the righteous be blotted out? "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 3:19.
What immediately follows the blotting out of sins? "And He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you, whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things." Acts 3:20, 21.
While Christ as high priest is still before the Father, what is given Him? "One like the Son of man came... to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him." Dan. 7:13, 14.
And when He comes to earth; what is His purpose? "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thess. 4:16, 17.
But before any are thus raised at Christ's coming, what decision must be rendered in their cases? "But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead." Luke 20:35.
NOTE.-We see that the typical sanctuary service is fully met in the work of Christ. And as the atonement day of the old dispensation was really a day of judgment, so the atonement work of Christ will include an investigation of the cases of His people. All who shall be "accounted worthy" to have a place in His kingdom will be called to dwell with Him when He comes again to earth to gather His people.
Is there a specified time for the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary? "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." Dan. 8:14.
How may one know that this does not refer to the earthly sanctuary? "He said unto me, Understand, a son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision." Dan. 8:17.

OPA-LOCKA, Fla. — A 23-year-old aerospace student who built his plane from more than $300,000 in donated parts took off Friday hoping to become the youngest person and first black pilot to fly around the globe alone.
Barrington Irving plans to arrive back at Opa-locka Executive Airport on April 30 in his single-engine Lancair Columbia 400.
He had planned to fly last year, but a lack of funding delayed his $1 million project. He still needs about $20,000, but that didn't stop him from setting out.
"I want this completed before the year is over so kids can see that someone who started off with nothing set a goal and completed it," he said just before takeoff. "Even with the challenges, everything is starting to fall in place. It's just my time."
Irving was born in Jamaica and grew up in Miami. He said he saw little chance for success until he met a Jamaican-American pilot at his parents' Christian bookstore.
The pilot, Gary Robinson, took Irving to see a Boeing 777. The 15-year-old was mesmerized. He turned down college football scholarships to become a pilot.
Irving is now studying at Florida Memorial University; he has private and commercial pilot licenses. He also founded Experience Aviation, a Miami-based organization that encourages minority youths to pursue aviation careers.
He will make stops in Cleveland and Farmingdale, N.Y., before passing into Canada, then crossing the Atlantic, through Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Have you ever wondered how you manage to be listed as one of the local businesses in the maps results that show up when you do a local search on Google?
Well, if you have, then it's high time you learned all about local seo and the importance of citations and how they can help your photography business rank higher in local search results.
Competition in the photography sector is tough and grabbing the attention of potential customers is difficult but with the proper use of citations for local SEO, you have a far greater chance of reaching out to more customers online.
What are Citations and how are they relevant to Local SEO?
A citation simply refers to a mention of your photography business on different sites on the Internet. Citations are divided by category into "structured" and "unstructured" citations.
Structured citations are those found in local directories while unstructured are those you may see in social media sites, blogs, forums and other sites. A typical citation contains the Name, Address, Phone Number (often referred to as a "NAP") of a business. Some citations may contain links to the website of the business concerned while others don't allow links. There are also sites where you can submit a brief business profile so would-be customers will know more about your photography business.
Citations for Local SEO
When it comes to photography Search Engine Optimization (SEO), having a high number of citations can really boost your chances of appearing in the Search Engine Results Pages (aka the "SERPS") for specific search terms or "keywords". This can give you an edge over your competitors who may only have a few citations. Therefore, the more citations your business has, then the better chances you have of ranking high.
Citations validate the existence of your business telling the online visitors that your business is real and trustworthy, and this is why Google pays so much attention to them. Loyal customers can even create reviews for your photography business and this can help entice more people to try out what you are offering.
Getting citations from different places on the internet helps build the credibility of your business in Google's eyes.
How to Make Citations Work for You
Getting a citation might seem very easy but it is can be difficult. Yes you can submit your business to many local directories but if you're not cautious, your business' reputation (and search rankings) might actually fall instead of soaring high.
To make citations work for you, everything needs to be consistent and accurate. So it is a good move to prepare a business profile before you start. This profile should include your photography business name, the exact and correct address for the business, phone numbers, a short description of your business, email address, the photography sector or category the business operates in, business hours and details of the business owner/s. Most directories only require Name Address and Phone Numbers but it is better to prepare all relevant information as it might come in handy when creating citations in other sites. Consistency across citations is key!
Find the most credible and popular local directories. Check the directory before submitting a citation for there might already be an existing citation for your business. Remove any duplicate listing if you can and/or edit incorrect details. Make sure to submit only true and correct information so everything will be clear to your clients.
Joining forums and making connections with other photographers in the industry can also help your business. You can create citations in forums within the photography niche.
Why Are Citations Important to Local SEO?
Citations can help your photography business get more exposure online so that your target customers can easily find you. The more reliable citations you have, the higher the chance you have to rank first on local searches. Getting a citation on Google My Business is a great way to be found on local searches. Keep in mind that a lot of internet users nowadays check local listings when trying to find a product or service so it is best to have your business listed there.
What is "Google My Business"?
"Google My Business" is the platform that Google uses to plug your company's geographical data into their local maps results. Therefore it is the key to helping your business get found in search results on Google. Adding your business on Google My Business is totally FREE. This wonderful "one-stop shop" service was launched by Google in June 2014 and was designed to integrate all of Google's business related platforms into one place. The information you provide will be seen by your customers across all Google's platforms like Google Search, Google Maps and Google+. If you have any old accounts from the previous generation of their systems i.e. Google Places for Business and/or Google+ Pages, then don't worry, as they will have been automatically upgraded to "Google My Business"
Getting your Photography business listed on Google my Business
The first stage in any Citation building process is to check if your business is listed on Google my Business, and if not, get it added – Here is a step by step guide on how to create a "Google My business" entry:
1 – Go to http://www.google.com/business, click the "Get on Google" button if you are new to Google or click on "Sign In" if you already have a Google User Account.
2 – Next, search for your business by entering your business name on the search form.
3 – If you're business is new and cannot be found, click "I've correctly entered the name and address – please let me fill out business information" – or you may see an "Add your business details" option
4 – Next fill out the business information form. Make sure to enter the correct Business Name, Address and Phone Number. Be consistent and use the same info that you used in other directories.
5 – Once set up, check your dashboard and complete your profile by adding the missing information like "add photos" and "add virtual tour". "Add virtual tour" was designed for restaurants and other similar business establishments, however as a photographer, you can utilise this "add virtual tour" feature to show off your photography studio so customers can have a glimpse of how fantastic it is.
How to Be Found on "Google Maps"
Since Google integrated their services in one platform which is "Google My Business", you also need to create or claim your business listing on Google Maps.
If you wondered why your business doesn't show up on Google Maps as well as in google search, then you might have made a mistake when setting up your Google profile.
You should have created a "local page" rather than a "brand page". Other reasons for not showing up on Google Maps searches include your "business not being verified" yet or you recently edited your business so the changes are still pending approval. You can find more helpful information on how to resolve these particular issues here.
How to Claim your Business listing in Google Maps
In Google, the information for business listings are originally gathered by Google from different sources such as phone directories, government sites and other popular directories. And so, when you search for your business in Google and find it has incorrect information, you should right away "claim" the listing and change any incorrect information.
After that, you will undergo a verification process via phone, email or post before the changes are visible online.
Not claiming your business listing can harm your reputation as spammers or competitors could hijack your listing or use it to their advantage.
How to Rank for Local Search Terms in Google Maps
In Google Maps search results, businesses are ranked by letters, letter A being rank 1, B as rank 2 and so on. Of course as a business owner you would want to aim for the "A" spot. For example, if a Google user types in "wedding photography Scotland", he/she may see a result like this:
Normally, the user will visit the business listing which is ranked "A" before going to "B" so as a business owner we want visitors to go to our website rather than visit our competitor's.
Other Ways to Rank High in Local SEO
Choosing Categories – When creating a business profile for Google My Business, you will be presented with categories to choose from. These categories are predetermined by google. You will need to choose the best primary category for your business then choose the most relevant secondary categories.
Think carefully before submitting the profile – These categories can affect your ranking as well your website traffic. Make sure to drive the right customers to your website. 2 or 3 categories are fine as long as all are relevant.
NAP Consistency – We can't emphasise enough the importance to your local SEO success by being consistent in the Name, Address and Phone Number that you submit to directories, Google My Business and other websites.
An awesome Home Page – Your Home page is the first page that new visitors usually see on your site. If a visitor likes what they see, then they would most probably come back or recommend your site to their family and friends. Make sure your home page (and of course your other pages) contain lots of information relevant to your target keywords and target clients.
WordPress Plugins by Yoast – A website also needs to be optimised for search engines to easily find it. Choosing the right plugins for your WordPress site is the best way to check if your website already has been completely setup with the right tags, headings, title tags and keywords. Yoast produce a premium plugin add-in to their base SEO product – Yoast Local – this is highly recommended for local seo and well worth the few extra dollars.

Samsung 983 ZET Z-NAND SSD Review (Page 1)
The 983 ZET is Samsung's Z-NAND flagship datacenter SSD for the channel. You can buy it, but first, you have to see how it compares to Optane.
Samsung's Z-NAND SSDs emerged in the channel under the 983 ZET name. The new series sports lower specifications than the SZ985 SSDs that shipped directly to data center customers a year prior. The channel products enjoy wider availability nonetheless and bring the power to Z-NAND to more system administrators for less than other latency-optimized products shipping today.
Samsung's other Z-NAND SSD shook the ground below Intel's feet, and everyone else sitting in the auditorium, at Flash Memory Summit. In a room full of flash enthusiasts, Samsung announced an Optane competitor using mystery Z-NAND. A year later, the SZ985 specifications emerged. The series would ship in several capacities up to 3.2TB with 3,200 MB/s sequential read and 3,000 MB/s sequential write speeds. The random performance tipped the scales at 750,000 IOPS read and 170,000 IOPS write, but the real head spinner came from the massive 30 drive writes per day (DWPD) rating.
Samsung optimized the 983 ZET further to appeal to a broader range of applications. The sequential read performance increased 200 MB/s and delivers more user capacity in similar sizes. The 983 ZET ships in a 480GB model, a capacity class not offered in the SZ985 series. The starting capacity for the SZ985 is 800GB and the largest 983 ZET is 960GB. The increase in user capacity does decrease random write performance under steady-state conditions to 75,000 IOPS and shrinks the DWPD rating by a third.
At the time of writing Samsung only announced the 983 ZET channel Z-NAND SSDs in two capacities, 480GB and 960GB. The drives use less overprovisioning compared to the limited release SZ985, and that changes some of the performance and endurance characteristics.
The performance is nearly identical between the 480GB and 960GB drives. Both sport 3,400 MB/s sequential read and 3,000 MB/s sequential write numbers. Random reads for both capacities is 750,000 IOPS. Random write performance differs slightly with the 960GB rated at 75,000 IOPS and the 480GB at 60,000 IOPS. To elevate any confusion, Samsung rates datacenter products with steady-state performance and not fresh out of box numbers like consumer products.
At the heart of the 983 ZET is a Samsung Phoenix 8-channel controller. The Phoenix appears in a number of Samsung's products including the consumer 970 series and datacenter 983 DCT.
What makes the ZET series stand out is Samsung's 48-layer SLC memory. The drive doesn't use massive DRAM as some suggested during the initial release coverage. The older 48L memory uses a 64Gbit die size, far smaller than the modern 512Gbit and even 1Tbit in use today for consumer products. The smaller size can erase and program faster than the larger pages in more modern flash optimized for capacity more than performance.
Pricing, Warranty, and Endurance
The 983 ZET was surprisingly easy to find for a channel product. We usually check CDW first with these products and that was a homerun for both availability and the best price. The 480GB model sells at CDW for $999.99 and that doubles for the 960GB model. We also found the 983 ZET drives at other outlets like Amazon, for a little more than CDW.
Both capacities carry a five-year warranty from Samsung. The endurance for this series is superior to most datacenter SSDs using flash memory. The 960GB model covers up to 10 drive writes per day (DWPD). That drops slightly for the 480GB model, to 8.5 DWPD.
Accessories and Software
Samsung's Datacenter (DC) Toolkit and a dedicated enterprise version of Magician (both command line) works with the company's enterprise and data center products.
The 983 ZET includes only one accessory in the package, a half-height back plate.
A Closer Look
The 983 ZET cards ship in a half-height half-length form factor. Samsung includes both half and full width back brackets in the channel packaging.
The card itself uses functional passive cooling on both sides of the board. The 960GB model only populates half of the available flash pads so it should be easy for Samsung to double the capacity on demand if the controller can handle the additional capacity.

Philanthropist Jim Simons and geneticist Jim Lupski receive honorary degrees from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's graduate school
Cold Spring Harbor, NY — Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's Watson School of Biological Sciences (WSBS) celebrated its eighth commencement on May 1, conferring the Ph.D. degree upon new graduates and honorary doctoral degrees on two local champions whose achievements have had a game-changing impact on contemporary biomedical research.
Born and raised in Hicksville, NY, Dr. James R. Lupski was awarded an honorary degree for his pioneering work in human genetics. A graduate of Hicksville High School, Dr. Lupski went on to earn his bachelor's and M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from New York University. Currently a Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at the Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Lupski is an accomplished scientist who earned national distinction for his groundbreaking work in "genomic disorders"—a term he coined—when he identified the chromosome responsible for Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome, a nerve disorder with which he is afflicted. "His groundbreaking work in identifying a disease gene in his own genome provides a glimpse into the future of as yet unrealized breakthroughs stemming from the Human Genome Project," said CSHL President Bruce Stillman.
Dr. James H. Simons, a Long Island resident, former chairman of the Mathematics Department at Stony Brook University and current Board Chair of Renaissance Technologies LLC, was honored for his diverse contributions as a scholar, philanthropist, and advocate for research and education. Dr. Simons received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California at Berkeley. Today, he serves as Trustee of Brookhaven National Laboratory and Rockefeller University, and is Chair Emeritus of the Stony Brook Foundation and is founder and Chairman of Math for America. Additionally, Dr. Simons, with his wife Marilyn, manages the Simons Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to the advancement of research in basic science and mathematics.
"Dr. Simons' background as an outstanding mathematician and philanthropist helped changed the way many of us do science," said Dr. Stillman. "His work has provided support for biomedical scientists, statisticians, computer scientists and those trained in physics, including many of those at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, whose work has led to major discoveries about the causes of autism and other genetic disorders."
Dr. Amy Rappaport and Dr. Claudio Scuoppo are the newest recipients of the Ph.D. degree from the Watson School. They join an increasingly accomplished group of WSBS alumni. While the typical time to complete a Ph.D. in the medical and life sciences in the United States is six and a half years, WSBS students finish their degrees on average in just over four years. Opening its doors in 1999, WSBS has exhibited rapid success with its graduates moving into faculty positions much earlier than graduates of other prestigious Ph.D. programs across the country.
"The Watson School of Biological Sciences is the jewel in the crown of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory," said WSBS Dean, Dr. Leemor Joshua-Tor. "We are incredibly proud of Amy and Claudio, and are delighted that they will forever be connected to us as they begin a lifetime of important and meaningful discoveries."

Any map that makes you feelby TseTse on September 8, 2001 Permalink · Rating:
Any map that makes you feel like an Ewok deserves comment. The environment on this map is really simple and fitting. The FPS gets strained in spots, but it generally works. Custom water fits the speed and style of the map, as well. However, I had spawning issues while the side decks and gens should keep this mostly balanced, this will likely be frustrating to most players (the water).

Played this map on a Renegades server and it seemed fun, but I did have a few issues (such as spawning IN the base tree, the tree stump object being too large to look decent, and the pointless cappable objective), but other then that it's your standard CTF map with fun water. :)

Implementation Strategies
View a selection of implementation strategies from educators who are successfully using ALEKS to achieve dramatic learning outcomes.
North Parkway Middle School, Jackson - Madison County School System
Jackson, TN
Grade(s): 6 - 8
Scenario: Computer Lab, Computers in Classroom, Home Access
Purpose: RtI, Enrichment/Gifted and Talented, Improve State Test Scores, ESL Students
Time Spent in ALEKS: 2 hours per week, 12 hours per term
ALEKS Course: Essential Mathematics (with QuickTables), RtI 6, Math Intervention, Mastery of SAT Math
Susannah White, Teacher
For the past three years, I have served as a tutor in the ALEKS controlled data test program through our school system. It compares the growth patterns of students in teacher-led tutorials versus ALEKS-led tutorials two days a week. I served as both a teacher-led instructor and as a computer-led supervisor to groups of sixth graders. As a classroom teacher, I am able to see the growth of my students as they become more confident and independent in their academic knowledge base. The program gives them ownership of their learning, as it allows them to choose from the areas that have been identified as weak. My students are engaged, able to get self-help tutorials, and able to re-teach and re-test with ease and confidence. The feedback is rewarding to them, and their classroom participation includes statements that begin with "I learned from ALEKS how to..." I see growth in all students!
What challenges did the class or school face in math prior to using ALEKS?
It is hard to have a class with 30 students who learn with various styles and at different pace levels, and to help them find their own independence and keep them excited about the things they CAN learn. ALEKS addresses the individual student, which is not easy to do effectively in the time-constrained classroom.
How many days per week is class time dedicated to ALEKS?
2 days per week.
What is the average length of a class period when ALEKS is used?
60 minutes.
How do you implement ALEKS?
I provide access to the computer lab when a student needs individual intensive care, and also allow the students who miss the teacher-led classroom lessons to be taught through ALEKS. Also, parents are able to put their child on the program at home, and often the parents learn with their child which helps us all with their growth!
Do you cover ALEKS concepts in a particular order?
Yes, we follow a standards-based curriculum that is aligned with the Common Core State Standards. Those standards are broken down into sequential learning quarters: 1) Numbers and Operations, 2) Mathematical Processes, 3) Algebra, 4) Geometry, and 5) Data and Statistics.Statistics
How do you structure your class period with ALEKS?
Students spend 20 minutes in ALEKS, then take 20 minutes for a break and a snack. They then repeat with two more 20-minute teaching sessions and one break for a snack (60 minutes total in a period per day).
How did you modify your regular teaching approach as a result of ALEKS?
I run student progress reports every six weeks to determine the student's growth pattern, time allotments, and needs for growth. These are discussed with the student and shared with the parents.
How often are students required or encouraged to work on ALEKS at home?
Students use ALEKS at home as often as they wish or as suggested due to student attendance or a weak area of concern.
How do you cultivate parental involvement and support for ALEKS?
We involve parents quarterly.
Do you require students to make regular amounts of progress in ALEKS?
With the quarterly data on student growth patterns, we determine which areas the student should focus on and our expectations for growth on the next report. These decisions are made in student-teacher evaluations of progress growth charts from ALEKS and student progress in the classroom.
Learning Outcomes
Since using ALEKS, please describe the learning outcomes or progress you have seen.
Each student is responsible for keeping up with their growth in their independent pie chart, and they take pride in seeing the chart fill with success. They look forward to getting on the program, and anticipate earning games from success. I see a rise in understanding in all categories of our standards. Students love it!
Best Practices
Are there any best practices you would like to share with other teachers implementing ALEKS?
Time management. Students are charmed by their pie chart, and will spend too much time (especially at first) going back to the chart and switching lessons before they have adequately spent time learning in their first lesson. Students have 20-minute segments dedicated per lesson, and the lessons that grow out of that first one work well.

The Senate: The University's Parliament
The Academic Senate was last elected in January 2018, for the duration of two years. Its term of office started on the 1st April 2018. Alongside the Rectorate, the Senate is the second central organ of the University.
Depending on the area of responsibility, the Senate is divided into the Reduced and Extended Senate. The student members of the Senate each act for one year.
The Reduced Senate decides - with exception of the basic regulations and the election regulations - the statutes and University regulations, especially the examination and study programme regulations; it positions itself to the faculties' regulations. The Reduced Senate has to be heard before any organisational subdivisions or study programmes are created, changed or terminated.

Hell Really Exists
In Greek folklore, people have a fear of sleeping under a FIG tree. On the island of Chios they say that the shadows of both fig and hazel are "heavy", so it is not good to sleep under either of them (Argenti & Rose). Another aspect of this mistrust of a fig tree comes from the belief in the south of France that John the Baptist was beheaded under one. That is why the branches break off so easily, particularly on St John's Day, when anyone who climbs the tree risks a dangerous fall. Similarly in Sicily, the mistrust lies in the belief that Judas hanged himself on one.
WALNUT trees are unlucky in some areas, the Abruzzi, in Italy, for instance. Anyone who plants one will have a short life (Canziani), or, as in Portugal, he would die when the tree attains his own girth (Gallop). Perhaps it is one of the cases of the man's life going into a tree which is very long-living.
PINE trees were looked on as unlucky in the Channel Isles. Guernsey belief had it that whoever planted a row of them ran the risk of losing the property, or letting it pass from the rightful heir to a younger branch of the family. There was also a belief there that if you fell asleep under one you would never wake up (Garis). HAWTHORN, too, was unlucky, in spite of its being a sacred tree and of offering its protection against witches. It is particularly unlucky to bring indoors, perhaps because of the belief that Jesus was crowned with these thorns. It "brought illness, etc.," with it, according to Devonshire belief, and in Somerset it may cause death in the house into which the blossom is brought (Elworthy). Cheshire children are forbidden to bring it in, the belief being that their mother will die if they did (Hole. 1937).
May in.
Coffin out, in fact (Igglesden).
ELM, too, was long regarded as a thoroughly treacherous tree, hostile to human beings (O Suilleabhain):
Elm hateth
Man and waiteth (Wilkinson. 1978).
Kipling knew all about the belief, and wrote in A tree song:
Elmen she hateth mankind and waiteth Till every gust be laid
To drop a limb on the head of him That anyway trusts the shade.
That is probably the nub of this belief. Elms can often, without any warning or signs of decay, shed a limb and cause injury or death. "He will wait for me under the elm" is a French proverb, meaning he will not be there, perhaps because it would be such a stupid place to wait (Wilkinson. 1978).
BLACKTHORN is a thoroughly unlucky plant. Even its early blooming brings talk of a "blackthorn winter" (see WEATHER LORE), and the more sloes there are in autumn, the worse the winter to come. The flowers are extremely unlucky to bring indoors, as are most white flowers, but more fuss seems to be made about blackthorn than anything else. It is just as bad to wear it as a buttonhole. Sussex people looked on it as a death token (Latham); in Suffolk, too, they used to say that it would foretell the death of some member of the family (Gurdon). And in Somerset, it would mean you would hear of a death (Tongue. 1965). Of course, all this might possibly amount to preventive superstition - Vickery pointed out that a scratch from the fierce thorns could very well cause blood poisoning. Against this is a Lincolnshire belief that it is not quite a death token - at Alford, in that county, the belief was that a blackthorn flower indoors would result in the relatively lesser misfortune of a broken arm or leg (Gutch & Peacock).
ELDER, with many protective and anti-witch virtues, is still an unlucky tree, with an evil character. The very fact that witches were fond of lurking under it made it dangerous to tamper with after dark (Dyer). And do not sleep under one - the leaves were said to give out a toxic scent which if inhaled may send the sleeper into a coma and even death (Baker. 1977). Mending cradles with elder wood was just as dangerous, for a Cheshire belief was that it would give the witches power to rock it from afar so violently that the baby would be injured (Hole. 1937). Again, a child laid in an elder-wood cradle would be pinched black and blue by the fairies (Graves); or the fairies may steal the child (Grigson); or the Elder-mother may strangle it (Farrer). In Ireland, elder wood was never used in boat-building (O Suilleabhain) nor, so it was said in South Wales, should a building of any kind be built on the spot where an elder had stood (Trevelyan). It is credited with having a harmful influence on plants growing near it (Rohde). The flowers were never allowed in the rooms of Fenland houses, because they were supposed to attract snakes (Porter), and from the same general area there is a record of the belief that a wound suffered by contact with the tree, say by driving a sharp stick accidentally into the hand, would inevitably prove fatal. It was quite a common belief that beating boys with an elder stick would stunt their growth (O Suilleabhain). Burning elder wood, particularly green elder (Forby), was almost universally forbidden in England, for "it brings the devil into the house" (Graves). "They dursn't burn 'em if you gave them away - they don't want the devil down their chimbley" (Heanley). Or, as in Lincolnshire, "the devil is in elder wood" (Rudkin). There are many other examples. JUDAS TREE (Cercis siliquastrum) is a similarly unlucky tree. It is the symbol of betrayal, for Judas hanged himself on one of them. It should be avoided, especially when in flower (M Baker. 1977), many people are reluctant to cut it, particularly after dark, and it is a favourite haunt of witches (Dyer. 1889). In the southern states of America, PERSIMMON is also an unlucky wood to burn in the house. Like SASSAFRAS, it pops and crackles a lot while burning, and perhaps that is the reason for the belief. Throw a piece of it in a man's fireplace, and he will soon move away. So runs a belief that was current in all the southern states of America (Puckett). HONEYSUCKLE is another plant with an ambivalent reputation. It is a witch plant, and at the same time an anti-witch protection, and that might explain its reputation as an unlucky plant. From Scotland to Dorset there are records of a general belief that to bring it indoors is very unlucky; in Dorset they say it brings sickness into the house with it, and in west Wales it was believed that it would give you a sore throat (Vickery. 1985). It was never brought into a Fenland house where there were young girls; it was thought to give them erotic dreams, especially if it were put into their bedrooms. If any of it was brought in, then it was said that a wedding would shortly follow (Porter) - hardly surprising, if the girls' minds were concentrated in that direction. MYRTLE is another of these ambivalent plants. It is lucky to have one, so long as one is visibly proud of it. But on the other hand, the shrub is connected with death, which makes it unlucky, particularly in America, where it is rarely seen outside cemeteries. Never let it grow around the house, or there will be sickness and trouble there as long as it is growing (H M Hyatt). TUBEROSE is another unlucky flower in American belief, possibly because of its waxy appearance, like death. Others think they emit the odour of death, still others that if you shut yourself in a room with tuberoses, the scent will kill you (H M Hyatt). CUCKOO-PINT is equally unlucky to have indoors, for it gave TB to anyone who went near it (Porter. 1969). The real reason may have been forgotten, but this kind of superstition is usually directed against the females of the house, and it would not be TB that they got. A Dorset belief is quite explicit - young girls were told never to touch a cuckoo-pint; if they did, they would become pregnant (Vickery. 1985), a belief quite in keeping with the plant's sexual display.
MEADOWSWEET is equally unlucky in Welsh superstition. If someone fell asleep in a room where many of these flowers were put, death was inevitable. It was even dangerous for anyone to fall asleep in a field where there was a lot of it growing. This sounds as if it were an extension of the fear of bringing any white flower - hawthorn, lilac, etc., indoors, to which PEAR blossom must be added. That too would cause a death in the family (Vickery. 1995). PRIMROSES were not always entirely welcome when brought indoors - it all depended on how many were gathered. Two or three brought into a poultry keeper's house in early spring, before the chicks were hatched, meant bad luck to the sittings, but it would be alright if there were thirteen or more flowers, or "no less than a handful". In Devonshire they said that the number of primroses brought in would agree with the number of chickens reared, and the same was said in Norfolk (Friend. 1883), for thirteen is the number traditional to a clutch of eggs placed under a hen. There was a similar belief in France - if you threw the first primroses you found before the goslings, it would kill them, and if you took them indoors, the goslings would die before being hatched (Sebillot). It was even unlucky to include primroses (and hazel catkins) in the posy carried to church on Easter Sunday. Violets had to be put in too, to compensate for the primroses (Tongue. 1965). But it was probably a lot more serious than it seems, at least in some areas, those in which primroses were looked on as a death token, just as snowdrops are. One explanation from Sussex is that it was used to strew on graves, and to dress up corpses in the coffin (Latham). Certainly, quarrels have been recorded as arising from this belief, and it could lead to charges of ill-wishing. Anyone giving a child, say, one or two primroses, would leave himself wide open to such a charge (W Jones. 1880). Another spring flower that is unlucky for poultry keepers is the DAFFODIL, though there is a certain ambiguity about its luck. Granted, the first daffodil is a lucky one. Welsh belief had it that if you find the first daffodil you will have more gold than silver that year (Trevelyan). But one has to be careful about the direction in which the trumpets are pointing. See Herrick, Hesperides:
When a Daffodil I see
Hanging down her head t'wards me,
Guess what I may what I must be;
First, I shall decline my head;
Secondly, I shall be dead;
Lastly, safely buried.
In other words, if you see a daffodil with its head bending down towards you, it is a sign that you are about to die (Addy. 1895). As with primroses, one has to be careful with daffodils when there is poultry about. There is an old Manx superstition that it is bad luck to a poultry keeper if two or three of the flowers are brought into the house in early spring, before the goslings are hatched (the Manx name for the daffodil shows the connection - it translates to Goose-leek). One finds this superstition in Devonshire, too, while a Cornish belief was that if a goose saw a daffodil before hatching its goslings, it would kill them when they did hatch (Courtney). A Dorset compromise suggests that you must always take care that the first daffodils brought indoors each season should be a large bunch, for otherwise something would be sure to go wrong with the poultry (Udal). Judging from the primrose belief, you should always take in quite a large bunch - two or three are fatal; the ideal is probably thirteen or more. On the other hand, in parts of Warwickshire, daffodils are thoroughly unlucky flowers, never to be taken indoors.
In some parts, particularly Italy, CHRYSANTHEMUMS are seriously unlucky flowers. They are funeral flowers there, and so are associated with the dead (hence a connection with All Souls Day, too). They say that if you give chrysanthemums to anyone, it is the equivalent of saying I wish you were dead (Vickery. 1985). Obviously, then, it is not a flower to have indoors, for it would bring very bad luck with it (Vickery. 1995). ARUM LILY is another funeral flower, and so thoroughly unlucky. That too should not be taken indoors (Deane & Shaw), and never be brought into a hospital (Vickery. 1985). WATER ARUM, too, is a thoroughly unlucky plant to have in the house (Bergen. 1899). BOX is an unlucky tree in one sense - its association with death and funerals. A sprig of box in flower brought indoors meant that death would soon cross the threshold (Dorset) (Udal). But in spite of this connection, it is generally a plant that brings good luck. Sawn WILLOW was unlucky in the house; if the timber was admitted at all, it would have to be shaped with an adze (Whitlock. 1982).
HEATHER, at least according to tradition in Wales, is unlucky to bring indoors. It brings misfortune with it, even death (Trevelyan). Perhaps that was because the young tops were a fairy food, but that is a Lowland Scots tradition (Aitken). It is very unlucky to take GORSE into the house, just as unlucky as hawthorn or lilac, for "to carry furze flowers in the house -carrying death for one of the family" (Opie & Tatem), and there are other similar sayings of the "gorse in, coffin out" variety. Giving the flowers to someone is also unlucky, but without such dire results. But the act would be bound to provoke a quarrel between the two people involved, in a short time (Vickery. 1995). BROOM, too, especially in its role as a domestic implement, can sometimes be very unlucky:
If you sweep the house with blossomed broom in
You're sure to sweep the head of the house away.
It is still believed to be an unlucky flower to bring indoors (Widdowson), as, for instance, in the Isle of Man (Gill. 1932), or in Sussex, where they say "it sweeps someone out of the house" (Vickery. 1985). RED POPPIES are equally unlucky to bring indoors, or even touch. Irish women had a dread of touching them (Grigson. 1955), but it is likely that proscriptions were designed to stop children picking them, i.e., getting into the growing corn and causing possible damage. They were told that if they picked poppies they would wet the bed, or it would provoke a thunderstorm, or give themselves a headache, etc., Even GOLDEN ROD has been seen as unlucky, certainly not to be taken indoors (Vickery. 1995). The same applies to WOOD ANEMONES; picking them would provoke a thunderstorm (it was actually called Thunderbolt in Staffordshire (Vickery. 1995)). BLUEBELLS are equally unlucky to bring indoors (Devonshire Association. Transactions. vol 65; 1933). Devonshire superstition has it that it is unlucky to plant out a bed of LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY, as the person to do so will be sure to die within the year (Notes and Queries; 1850). It belongs to the group of white flowers, like snowdrop and white lilac, that will cause death if brought into the house - and lily-of-the-valley is always unlucky for girls. It is the girl child who will die if they are brought inside (Tongue. 1965). The Sussex folk tale called the Basket of Lilies starts: "There was a woman who loved Lilies-of-the-valley. She'd be always looking for them ore sending her little daughter to find a bunch to bring home, so of course the little girl sickened and died, as everyone knew she would ..." (Tongue. 1970).
SOUTHERNWOOD, at least according to a Devonshire belief, is an unlucky plant to have in the garden. It was said that when a woman was ill, a neighbour came to see her and found a lot of this plant in her garden. She pulled it all up, and the patient recovered (Devonshire Association. Report and Transactions. vol 103). Eating CELERY will bring bad luck, at least according to Kentucky belief (Thomas & Thomas).
Most evergreen trees are funerary emblems, and at the same time symbols of immortality. That is so with HOLM OAK, but in the Greek islands it is an unlucky tree, because it was of its wood, so the story goes, that the Cross was made. A miraculous foreknowledge of the Crucifixion had spread among the forest trees, which agreed (almost) unanimously not to allow their wood to serve. When the foresters came, they either turned the edge of their axes, or bent away from the stroke. Only the Ilex consented, and passively submitted to being felled. So now the woodcutters will not soil their axes with its bark, and not desecrate their hearths by burning it (Rodd). YEW, of course, is the ultimate unlucky tree. It is the "funeral yew". In Shakespeare's words, it is the "dismal yew" - slips of it "slivered in the moon's eclipse" were among the ingredients in the witches' cauldron. Derbyshire farmers will not cut yew trees down, and they reckon it is unlucky to burn, too (Addy), and of course it is poisonous.
SILVER WATTLE (Acacia dealbata) may be the Australian national emblem, but that does not stop it from being thoroughly unlucky to bring indoors, even sometimes to plant in a garden. There are a few instances in England, too, of its being unlucky to bring indoors, even being described in one record as " a forewarning of disaster".
MOTHER-OF-THOUSANDS (Saxifraga sarmentosa) is an unlucky plant, apparently on the basis of its attributed names, such as: Creeping, Wandering, or Roving Sailor. It was said that an accident to the plant would ensure a mishap to any relative who was a sailor (Folklore. vol 37; 1926 365-6). But, of course, these names are actually given as a description of the plant's method of reproduction, by sending out runners from the parent plant. French herbalists used to say that looking at the flowers of the MEDITERRANEAN ALOE (Aloe vera) is unlucky (Boland. 1977). RED CAMPION (or WHITE CAMPION) are other examples of a flower unlucky to pick. It has the name Mother-die in Cumbria (Grigson. 1955), always an indication of an injunction against picking it. It is a fairy flower, too, another reason why it should never be picked, and in Wales it is Blodyn Neidi, snake flower, another sanction, for if you pick it you will be attacked by snakes (Vickery. 1985). Another Welsh name is Blodyn Taranan, thunder flower. Thunder and lightning will be the result if you gather them. The reason for these sanctions is that campions often grew in the corn, and if children were allowed to search for them, they could very well damage the crops in doing so. HERB ROBERT is another of these flowers that are unlucky to pick. It is called Snake Flower in Somerset, and there are other "snake" names for it. If you pick it, snakes would come from the stems (Vickery. 1985). But more significantly, the name 'Death-come-quickly' is recorded from Cumbria, for this is one of the flowers that, if picked by children, would result in the death of one of the parents. So with GERMANDER SPEEDWELL, a normally cheerful little plant. But it has its sinister side, as names like 'Tear-your-mother's-eyes-out' will testify. If you pick it, your mother will die during the year (Dyer. 1889), or it will result in a thunderstorm, etc., Even QUAKING GRASS has to be included here, for it is unlucky to the man who picks it or wears it, and it is also bad luck to bring it into the house. If it is laid in a baby's cradle, the child will be rickety (Tynan & Maitland). SPINDLE TREE was called Death-alder in Buckinghamshire (Grigson. 1955), and as such is reckoned unlucky to bring in the house, and, of course, the berries are mildly poisonous.
SNOWDROPS are another example of white flowers unlucky to bring indoors (like PRIVET in flower). Some say the bad luck applies only to cut snowdrops, and not to those grown in pots indoors (Vickery. 1985). Others, in Wales, say the sanction applies only to snowdrops taken indoors on St Valentine's Day (L Davies). The result of such rash actions were equally variable, ranging from the death of someone living in the house to the cows' milk being watery and affecting the colour of the butter (Burne. 1883). In Somerset, the belief was that the girl child in the house would die within the year (Tongue. 1968). There was a similar superstition regarding lilies of the valley and white lilac, beliefs that are very widespread. Taking snowdrops into a hospital is even more unlucky. If they were given to a patient it was often taken to be a sentence of death. Nurses would sometimes put a few ivy leaves with them to lessen the omen (Tongue. 1967). It is said that the association of snowdrops with death (they used to be called Death's Flower in Somerset) results from the flower's resemblance to a shroud (Vickery. 1985). "It looked for all the world like a corpse in its shroud" was how one of Charlotte Latham's informants put it. Another reason given to her was that "it always kept itself close to the earth, seeming to belong more to the dead than to the living". Again, we hear that the reason is that they are so often found growing in old graveyards (Vickery. 1985).
The West Indian tree called MAMEY (Mammea americana) must be mentioned here, not that the tree is itself unlucky, but in Jamaica it was reckoned unlucky (even fatal) to plant the seed (Folk-lore. vol 15; 1904p 94, in a series of papers called Folklore of the negroes of Jamaica). GROUND NUTS are unlucky, too. If you dream of them, it is a sign that you will be poor (H M Hyatt). And African Americans in the southern states of the USA say it is unlucky to eat peanuts when you are going to play a game of any sort, and the hulls scattered about the door mean that you will go to jail (Puckett). In Madagascar, they are taboo to pregnant women, as they will cause a miscarriage. They say that nuts lying on the ground remind people of souls that lay their eggs on the ground, and that is the reason for the taboo (Ruud).

Millwall striker scores for Ireland in heavy Germany loss
MILLWALL striker Andy Keogh scored a stoppage-time consolation for the Republic of Ireland in their heavy 6-1 defeat to Germany on Friday evening.
Keogh, who started the game on the bench but was introduced as a 69th-minute substitute, headed in Robbie Brady's corner at the far post to notch his first ever goal in a competitive premier-pharmacy.com/product-category/sleeping-aids/ international fixture.
Lions keeper David Forde was an unused substitute at the Aviva Stadium but could feature against the Faroe Islands next week after incumbent stopper Keiren Westwood let in six against the Germans.
Meanwhile, loan striker Chris Wood is set to start for New Zealand in a World Cup qualifier in Tahiti in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Reinventing Functional Finance
Transformational Growth and Full Employment
Edited by Edward J. Nell and Mathew Forstater
Chapter 1: Transformational Growth and Functional Finance
Edward J. Nell
Edward J. Nell ÔThere is no such thing as Society,Õ said Margaret Thatcher, Ôthere are only individuals.Õ Margaret Thatcher seems to have captured the perspective of modern macroeconomics. Whether ÔNew KeynesianÕ or ÔNew Classical,Õ everything can be reduced to the actions of individuals. Macro is simply micro, aggregated. Or further, macro is micro writ large Ð the working of the economy can be examined by looking at the (rational) actions of a representative agent. (Or the agentÕs limited but almost rational behavior in imperfect circumstances.) Macro is based, then, on microfoundations. These may take the form of a neoWalrasian general equilibrium, or a ÔpartialÕ version may be considered adequate. The markets may be perfect or imperfect, but the focus is on how rational, or nearly rational, agents in them interact. Such ÔfoundationsÕ are timeless. Agents are (nearly) rational and generally well-informed; their preferences are clear and consistent, and they are endowed with given supplies of factors, including labor, which they allocate optimally to producing goods, which they exchange Ð also optimally Ð in more or less competitive barter trades. Whether in ancient Egypt or modern America, this is the way the world works. But this is not how the early developers of the macro approach saw it. For them, macro was about the way the system adjusted, where ÔsystemÕ referred to the interaction of business firms, banks, labor and government. They studied a system of interacting institutions that developed and changed over time. The short-term problem was to analyze the forces determining...

Free art show to display pieces from around the globe
on Friday,January 21,2011 19:01
Many art lovers are world wide web surfers as well, and these enthusiasts will soon have the opportunity to view their favorite collections over the internet. The "Viewing in Private" (VIP) Art Fair is scheduled to launch on January 22, giving individuals the chance to see works that they would otherwise have to travel around the world to view, according to Bloomberg.
A number of renowned galleries from around the globe have agreed to participate in the VIP Art Fair, including David Zwirner and White Cube. The goal of the online exhibit is to not only provide art lovers with a chance to see new pieces, but educate the public on the industry and its past. More than 7,500 works will on be on display from 2,000 different artists.
"There's a lot of anticipation," Augusto Arbizo, director of New York's Eleven Rivington gallery, told Bloomberg. "It seems like it will be very open."
Any person can create a free account on the official VIP Art Fair site to view the works over the course of a week, and more than 20,000 people have already done so.
Employment of artists is projected to increase by 12 percent over the next seven years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
