One very cool thing about the city of Bath is its size and how compact it is. Many people visiting London will take a day trip over to Bath and are able to see everything in the city in under two hours. (Crazy, right?)
Of course, when I say see, I mean walk to all the major sites, snap a picture, and move on. It's not how I prefer to travel, I'm just saying it can be done.
Free Walking Tour in Bath
If you're visiting Bath and you've only got two hours to spare, let me recommend how you should spend it. There are several walking tours you can take, but a lot of visitors don't realize there is actually a free walking tour in Bath. How often does that happen? The free walking tours are provided by the Mayor's Corps of Honorary Guides and they will accept no compensation, not even a small tip. These guys are happy to volunteer their time simply because they love the city and love being able to share it with others.
The tours start in the courtyard in front of Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths (pictured above). Our particular tour group gathered over by the Pump Room where Cory and I were, by far, the youngest. That's okay – we were perfectly happy to represent the 0-60 age group!
Things You'll See on a Walking Tour in Bath
Bath Abbey
John, our guide, started the tour off by telling us the history behind the Roman Baths and the significance of the architecture of Bath Abbey. I'll spare you all those details now since I intend on posting about each of them separately later this week. I did, however, learn not even thirty seconds after instagramming a photo of Bath Abbey with the caption "cathedral love" that an abbey is indeed not a cathedral. Oops.
The Royal Crescent
Next up on our walking tour in Bath was the Royal Crescent, a set of thirty homes laid out in a majestic crescent-shape, famous for both its design and the notable residents who've lived there since the late 1700's.
If you haven't noticed yet, all of the buildings in Bath are pretty much the same color. They're made out of golden-colored limestone called Bath Stone. Their uniformity in color is far from dull, however. It's like the whole city has been dipped in honey!
Bath has a lot of old world charm, mostly due to the Georgian architecture that was so popular in the 18th and 19th centuries in England. Both Cory and I agreed that cars seem out of place here. In my opinion, everyone in Bath should still be getting around in fancy horse-drawn carriages with drivers wearing top hats.
The Circus
Three crescent-shaped buildings placed in a circle around a central green round-about make up the Circus in Bath. The Circus and the Royal Crescent are actually quite similar in appearance, if not size, and this is due in part to the father-son team that designed and built them both. The Circus was designed by John Wood The Elder and built after his death by his son, John Wood The Younger. The Royal Crescent was John Wood The Younger's project. (Their names make me smile. These days, they'd just be John Wood, Sr and John Wood, Jr. This way is much more fun.) Hollywood fact: Nicolas Cage used to live here!
From my camera's point of view, both the Circus and the Royal Crescent were nearly impossible to photograph. I couldn't fit the entire span of the Royal Crescent into the frame, and there was no chance of getting more than a piece at a time of the Circus without taking an aerial shot. (Go, go gadget jet pack!) Suffice it to say, both were much more magnificent in person.
Pulteney Bridge
My favorite part of our walking tour in Bath was when we headed over to Pulteney Bridge on the River Avon. Pulteney Bridge is famous for being one of the only bridges in the world with shops lining the length of the bridge on both sides, but my favorite part about this place was just standing on the overlook and watching the ducks play in the water below the bridge. There are cruises you can take down the River Avon, but since we had just done something similar in Amsterdam, we chose to walk a good length of the river instead. The further you walk down the river, the better view you'll get of Pulteney Bridge, too. Up close it is nearly impossible to capture all three tunnels under the bridge in a picture without the overlook getting in the way.
Bath's Hidden Gems
Besides the main attractions, our walking tour in Bath also took us around various side streets to see some of the neat older buildings that aren't necessarily famous. This is when we got to hear some of Bath's most interesting stories as well. For instance, we learned why so many of the windows in Bath's homes are closed in with bricks and other materials. In 1696, the town imposed a "window tax" on homeowners that forced them to pay a certain amount of money per window. In response, homeowners began bricking in their windows to avoid paying extra money. The law has since been repealed, but many of the windows remain filled in today.
I've never been in a city with history dating back as far as that of Bath's. Due to its age and uniqueness, not just a single landmark, but the entire city has been designated a UNESCO world heritage site. (I'm having fun marking these off my list!) Bath is so full of history and stories that we wouldn't have known about if we hadn't taken this tour. If you're visiting Bath, you can certainly see all of these places without joining a tour, but you'll be missing out on all the quirky facts and funny commentary the Mayor's Corps of Honorary Guides are dishing out for free!

There is a list of words to use in today's poem-a-day challenge. They are, pest, crack, ramble, huccup, wince, and festoon.
I wrote a rambling poem that I then deconstructed from a form and turned into a story. The rhymes remain, but perhaps it is easier to read.
My great-grandmother was the foundation of the person I became. I write about her every year, and now was the time.
Summer Books
Grandma glares at me. It is noon, closer to lunchtime than breakfast. "It's your fault, though, because you gave me the book."
She glows, her eyes twinkling. "You liked it?"
I nod "It's so good, I couldn't put it down!"
"You're finished, then?" she asks, surprised.
"Oh yes! Are there more?"
She stands with a wince, stature diminished, then straightens with a crack and goes to pour more coffee and tells me to get some food.
She hunts for what she wants in the bookshelves, eager to share a bit of her accrued collection of science fiction. She delves into thick tomes festooned with dust, then pulls a well-worn treasure out with affection. She dusts it off and opens it as she mulls, and hands it to me for my inspection.
"This may be too much. Hmm. What do you think?"
The word Dune is inscribed on the cover. I take the book, open it, now on the brink of a House Atreides ramble, hover for a moment, then dive in wholehearted.
I surface for meals, see her scrutiny. I ask questions as I go, have started puzzling through. She won't have mutiny, though; I must wait 'til I'm done with the book.
It takes some time to complete, with long days reading in the apple tree's shady nook, reading all night in a delighted haze, reading until, at last, the story's done.
Only then, she allows me to pester her and once the discussion has begun I can ask all the questions that festered unanswered in my clamorous young mind. She relishes all of our discussions and I enjoy the glee that we both find in Atreides/Harkonnen repercussions.
Forty years later, I'm still indebted to the woman who taught me how to think. I've never fretted, sweated, regretted, supposed, or doubted that we were in sync. We'd argue, bluster, but we weren't mad, we wanted to get our points across, see? I could have opinions and not be bad, and strong-minded without being bossy.
When she died, I cried, hiccuped painful tears, still glad she'd taught me to how to be strong. As long as she's remembered through the years she'll live inside me all my life long.

1. Short hairstyles for women over 50

Another middle hairstyle is this long and multi-layered beauty. Although a bit longer than the above example, it still focuses on thoughtful levels to increase the volume. The side pony add a nice natural touch.

10. Two-tone updos
Channel your inner rebels by rocking two hair colors! Even if you are shy of not being too flashy, you can dye the lower part of your hair. That way, you can only uncover it when you want it, without attracting too much attention in your daily life.

Even if your hair is naturally thin, you do not have to worry that you will not find the right hairstyle. A long, slightly reversed bob with layers and untidy bangs will make it! In addition, you can add some highlights to make the entire hairstyle flattering.

An Introduction to Dark Pools
Dark pools are an ominous-sounding term for private exchanges or forums for securities trading. However, unlike stock exchanges, dark pools are not accessible by the investing public. Also known as "dark pools of liquidity," these exchanges are so named for their complete lack of transparency. Dark pools came about primarily to facilitate block trading by institutional investors who did not wish to impact the markets with their large orders and obtain adverse prices for their trades.
Dark pools were cast in an unfavorable light in Michael Lewis' bestseller Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt, but the reality is that they do serve a purpose. However, their lack of transparency makes them vulnerable to potential conflicts of interest by their owners and predatory trading practices by some high-frequency traders.
Rationale for Dark Pools
Dark pools are not a recent phenomenon; they emerged in the late 1980s.1 According to the CFA Institute, non-exchange trading has taken off in the United States. Estimates show that it accounted for approximately 40% of all U.S. stock trades in spring 2017 compared with an estimated 16% in 2010. The CFA also estimates that dark pools are responsible for 15% of U.S. volume as of 2014.2
Why did dark pools come into existence? Consider the options available to a large institutional investor who wanted to sell one million shares of XYZ stock before the advent of non-exchange trading. This investor could either (a) work the order through a floor trader over the course of a day or two and hope for a decent VWAP (volume weighted average price); (b) split the order up into, for example, five pieces and sell 200,000 shares per day, or (c) sell small amounts until a large buyer could be found who was willing to take up the full amount of the remaining shares. The market impact of a one million sale of XYZ shares could still be sizable regardless of whether the investor chose (a), (b) or (c) since it was not possible to keep the identity or intention of the investor secret in a stock exchange transaction. With options (b) and (c), the risk of a decline in the period while the investor was waiting to sell the remaining shares was also significant. Dark pools were one solution to these issues.
Why Use a Dark Pool?
Contrast this with the present-day situation, where an institutional investor uses a dark pool to sell a one million share block. The lack of transparency actually works in the institutional investor's favor since it may result in a better-realized price than if the sale was executed on an exchange. Note that, as dark pool participants do not disclose their trading intention to the exchange before execution, there is no order book visible to the public. Trade execution details are only released to the consolidated tape after a delay.
The institutional seller has a better chance of finding a buyer for the full share block in a dark pool since it is a forum dedicated to large investors. The possibility of price improvement also exists if the mid-point of the quoted bid and ask price is used for the transaction. Of course, this assumes that there is no information leakage of the investor's proposed sale and that the dark pool is not vulnerable to high-frequency trading (HFT) predators who could engage in front-running once they sense the investor's trading intentions.
Types of Dark Pools
As of February 2020, there were more than 50 dark pools registered with the SEC, of which there are three types:3
These dark pools are set up by large broker-dealers for their clients and may also include their own proprietary traders. These dark pools derive their own prices from order flow, so there is an element of price discovery. Examples of such dark pools include Credit Suisse's CrossFinder, Goldman Sachs' Sigma X, Citi's Citi Match and Citi Cross, and Morgan Stanley's MS Pool.
Agency Broker or Exchange-Owned
These are dark pools that act as agents, not as principals. As prices are derived from exchanges – such as the midpoint of the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO), there is no price discovery. Examples of agency broker dark pools include Instinet, Liquidnet and ITG Posit, while exchange-owned dark pools include those offered by BATS Trading and NYSE Euronext.
Electronic Market Makers
These are dark pools offered by independent operators like Getco and Knight, who operate as principals for their own account. Like the broker-dealer-owned dark pools, their transaction prices are not calculated from the NBBO, so there is price discovery.4
Pros and Cons
The advantages of dark pools are as follows:
Reduced Market Impact
The biggest advantage of dark pools is that market impact is significantly reduced for large orders.
Lower Transaction Costs
Transaction costs may be lower since dark pool trades do not have to pay exchange fees, while transactions based on the bid-ask midpoint do not incur the full spread.
Dark pools have the following drawbacks:
Exchange Prices May Not Reflect the Real Market
If the amount of trading in dark pools owned by broker-dealers and electronic market makers continues to grow, stock prices on exchanges may not reflect the actual market. For example, if a well-regarded mutual fund owns 20% of company RST's stock and sells it off in a dark pool, the sale of the stake may fetch the fund a good price. However, unwary investors who have just bought RST shares will have paid too much since the stock could collapse once the fund's sale becomes public knowledge.
Pool Participants May Not Get the Best Price
The lack of transparency in dark pools can also work against a pool participant since there is no guarantee that the institution's trade was executed at the best price. Lewis points out in Flash Boys that a surprisingly large proportion of broker-dealer dark pool trades are executed within the pools – a process known as internalization – even in cases where the broker-dealer has a small share of the U.S. market. As Lewis notes, the dark pool's opaqueness can also give rise to conflicts of interest if a broker-dealer's proprietary traders trade against pool clients or if the broker-dealer sells special access to the dark pool to HFT firms.
Vulnerability to Predatory Trading by HFTs
Controversy over dark pools has been spurred by Lewis' claims that dark pool client orders are ideal fodder for predatory trading practices by some HFT firms, which employ tactics such as "pinging" dark pools to unearth large hidden orders and then engaging in front-running or latency arbitrage.
Small Average Trade Size Reduces the Need for Dark Pools
The average trade size in dark pools has declined to only about 200 shares. Exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), who are seeking to stem their loss of trading market share to dark pools and alternative trading systems, claim that this small trade size makes the case for dark pools less compelling.
Curb Appeal
The recent HFT controversy has drawn significant regulatory attention to dark pools. Regulators have generally viewed dark pools with suspicion because of their lack of transparency, and the controversy may lead to renewed efforts to curb their appeal. One measure that may help exchanges reclaim market share from dark pools and other off-exchange venues could be a pilot proposal from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to introduce a "trade-at" rule. The rule would require brokerages to send client trades to exchanges rather than dark pools unless they can execute the trades at a meaningfully better price than that available in the public market. If implemented, this rule could present a serious challenge to the long-term viability of dark pools.
The Bottom Line
Dark pools provide pricing and cost advantages to buy-side institutions such as mutual funds and pension funds, which hold that these benefits ultimately accrue to the retail investors who own these funds. However, dark pools' lack of transparency makes them susceptible to conflicts of interest by their owners and predatory trading practices by HFT firms. HFT controversy has drawn increasing regulatory attention to dark pools, and implementation of the proposed "trade-at" rule could pose a threat to their long-term viability.

Grand Prairie Fire Department Receives Perfect ISO Rating for the First Time
Apr 11, 2017 04:09PM
● By Melanie Heisinger
Recently, the Grand Prairie Fire Department received a perfect ISO rating. Not only is this a great accomplishment for our local firefighters, it also means that Grand Prairie homeowners and local business owners may qualify to receive a lower insurance renewal rate.
This is all very exciting for both the Fire Department and the city of Grand Prairie. We wanted to know a little but more about the importance and history of this rating, so we reached out to Media Relations Coordinator Claudia Garibay and asked her to fill us in.
Tell us a little bit about the ISO rating. Why is it important?
An ISO rating is used by most insurance companies to predict and analyze risk when establishing insurance premiums. It also provides the Department with the opportunity to review existing processes, allowing us to improve and evolve as needed.
What factors do you think contributed to the great rating that the Grand Prairie Fire Department received?
The improvement was in part contributed to the addition of Station 10, resource redeployment, and the new joint training center in Irving.
How will this affect the surrounding community (if at all)?
As of April 1st, 2017, Grand Prairie homeowners and local business owners may qualify to receive a lower insurance renewal rate.
Is the Fire Department excited about this rating?
It is a citywide accomplishment. We are very excited to be able to contribute to possible lower insurance rates for the citizens and business owners of Grand Prairie. We are also very proud of our staff for their dedication and commitment to provide the citizens of Grand Prairie with superior property fire protection.
Have they ever received this rating in the past?
This is the first time the Grand Prairie Fire Department receives an ISO 1 rating. In 2006, the Department received a 75.06 ISO 3 rating compared to this year's score of 95.98 ISO 1 rating.
Is there anything else we should know?
The Grand Prairie Fire Department is committed to continue its efforts to maintain the ISO 1 rating for years to come.
For those individuals ready to renew their home/business insurance, it may be helpful to present a copy of the State Fire Marshal's ISO 1 Rating approval letter to their insurance company. The letter can be found on our webpage at www.gptx.org/fire.
The Department is also celebrating its 100th Anniversary! We will be celebrating with two open houses highlighting the Department's history and accomplishments.
The first event will take place on Saturday, May 13, 2017 at Station 1 for all citizens, businesses, and elected officials located north of 303. The second event is scheduled for late summer/early fall at Station 10 for everyone located south of 303.
Details will be posted soon on the Department's webpage at www.gptx.org/fire and on Facebook @grandprairiefire.

Η NIPD Genetics ανακοινώνει την έναρξη της μοριακής γενετικής εξέτασης COVID-19, η οποία χρησιμοποιεί τη μεθοδολογία Real-Time PCR (RT-qPCR) για την ανίχνευση του ιού SARS-CoV-2 ...Read More
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 'infertility is a disease of the reproductive system, defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse'1. Worldwide, the number of people affected by infertility is over 48.5 million people2. 1 in 8 couples in the US and 1 in 7 couples in the UK face infertility3,4. In developing countries, infertility rate is even higher, with 1 in 4 couples being affected5.
A couple with a normal functioning reproductive system has a 20-25% chance of conceiving at any given month6. After 6 months of trying, 60% of those couples will conceive without medical assistance6. Causes of infertility can vary, and a personal, thorough clinical examination and family history must be taken by a specialist. Reasons for infertility can be genetic due to a translocation (incorrect rearrangement of chromosomes) in one of the partners, or due to hormonal levels, like ovulatory disorders, poor response to fertility treatments, premature ovarian failure or polycystic ovarian syndrome. Also, structural problems of the uterus, cervical factors or issues with the sperm production or transportation to the egg, immunologic disorders, and environmental factors can affect fertility. Secondary infertility, the inability to get pregnant naturally after having a baby without difficulty, is also seen. Lastly, infertility could be unexplained.
Infertility affects both men and women equally. Approximately 30% of infertility is due to female factor and 30% due to male factor. The remaining cases are from problems in both partners, or due to unexplained etiology7. The most important contributing factor for infertility is maternal age. Paternal age plays a role, but not as central. As women are born with all their eggs, their quantity and quality decreases overtime. Consequently, it is conceivably harder for women who are older to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. In general, guidelines recommend seeing a fertility specialist after 12 months of unsuccessful trying, women over the age of 35 are advised to consult a specialist after 6 months – and not wait for a year.
Couples or people who know they might be affected by infertility, if they have experienced multiple miscarriages or have known risk factors for infertility, like endometriosis, may also consult their doctor and seek an expert's opinion as early as they wish. Couples have a right to advocate for themselves, seek treatment, explore their options – fertility treatments, surrogacy, adoption – and take their own decisions for their families, even if these decisions are taking no actions at all.
The perceived stigma surrounding infertility often prevents people from talking about, or admitting of their fertility challenges. The desire to have children and the inability to accept infertility as a disease of the reproductive system doesn't only feel like a biological fail, but a personal one. Infertility is unlike other medical conditions with defined pathways and mechanisms of action. Treatment might need to be emotional as well as physical, and above all, personal. As friends, family or society, all we can do is to provide emotional support, promote discussion and understanding in a way that enables better policies and more affordable and accessible fertility treatments on this global public health issue.
This year, the US National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW), founded in 1989 by Resolve, celebrates 30 years. Resolve's aims are to enhance public understanding on infertility, ensure couples wishing to start a family know the guidelines, and educate lawmakers on the impact of infertility policies. These empower Resolve's purpose, which is to eliminate the barriers and the stigmas that stand in the way of building families.

12 end of summer activities you won't want to miss
When I went into a shoe shop last weekend, it was full of families getting their kids measured for back-to-school shoes. A sure sign that the sunny days of summer are drawing to a close and soon it'll be time to start the new school year.
But don't start packing away the toys and games just yet. With a couple of weeks of the summer left, have you checked all these fun activities off?
Kids' end of summer bucket list
Out and about
Be a tour guide for the day
It probably feels like you've been to all the cool places and attractions in your neighborhood or town a million times. But how about making them seem new again by taking a friend or family member on a magical mystery tour? It could be a milkshake-themed tour of all the best diners or something as simple as taking Grandpa for a walk to visit your favorite trees. You could design or draw a map to show the route or keep the locations a secret to add to the suspense.
Watch a sports game
Whether you're a lifelong fan or you've never been to see sport played live before, catching a game can be a great way to round out the summer break. To make things more interesting, switch it up by going to see a new team play, watch a sport you've never seen before or go with a new friend.
Set off on a scavenger hunt
Kids love turning detective and checking off clues to win a prize. But planning out such an in-depth activity can take time your just haven't got at the end of the summer. That's where Pinterest comes in. There are so many ideas and printable sheets, you'll have enough to go scavenger hunting every day until Christmas!
Help at a community clean up
Picking up trash doesn't sound like many people's idea of a good time. But kids can get really fired up about helping make open spaces, rivers and oceans safer for wildlife and the whole community. If you've got a budding conservationist in your family, it's best to join an organized group so you can be sure on safety and that you'll be making an impact in the best places. Check out the Ocean Conservancy's interactive map to find clean ups all over the world or search for 'community clean ups' plus your town name on social media to see what's happening near you.
Have another picnic
Eating outdoors may seem like a really obvious end of summer activity, but that's only because it's the time of year when it's easy to do! If you live in the part of the world where winters keep you cooped up indoors, it's time to make the most of that wonderful feeling of eating al fresco while you can. Capture some snaps and you'll be able to look back on the lovely memories to warm you up when the weather turns cold.
Listen to live music outdoors
You don't have to head to one of the huge summer festivals to catch some live music in the sunshine. Summer shows, village fetes, free concerts and buskers by the beach are all great ways of filling up on the fun of hearing real music played by real musicians under a real blue sky.
Have fun at home
Play summer backyard games
By the time the end of summer rolls around, budget options for keeping the kids amused are always welcome. Save your plastic bottles and transform them into skittles for a game or two of bottle bowling. Pick up some chunky chalks and draw big pictures or a checkers board on the patio. Mix up some muddy treats with old bowls and cups to create mud pies. Or get the super soakers and water balloons out for a good old-fashioned water fight.
Make space and money
The end of summer is a great excuse to clear out some of your kids' old toys or clothes and get them earning some pocket money at the same time. They could set up a stall for a yard sale or help you out at a local car boot sale. If you grow your own fruit and veggies, sometimes you get more than you know what to do with. Why not use some to make tasty treats to sell or share with friends and family?
Create your own popsicles
When the weather's hot, nothing beats cooling down with an ice-cold popsicle. Making your own adds to the fun as you can play around with flavors and colors, finding your own unique favorites. Would you go for chocolate peanut butter or something fruitier? Check out the crazy amount of popsicle recipes on Pinterest.
Fill up a treasure box or scrap book
When so much of how our kids experience the world is digital, it can be super special for them to create something they can hold onto and put away in a drawer to look at from time to time. Decorate a spare small box and add a date label. Fill it with drawings, tickets, objects and anything else that reminds you of your wonderful summer together. If you don't want it taking up too much space, make a scrapbook instead.
Cook up a summer feast
Most of the time we want to encourage our kids to eat healthily. But during the last few precious days of summer, wouldn't it be fun to break the rules? Plan a special summer feast with your kids to celebrate. Have them plan the menu and decorate the table however they like. They might choose all their favorite foods or go with a theme. They might pretend they're running a restaurant for the night. Get them involved with cooking and clearing up afterwards too so it doesn't turn into just another big task for you!
Do nothing
Soon enough the routines and timetables of everyday life will kick back in. Give your kids a chance to just sit in the backyard staring at the sky. And if they find it hard to switch off from devices or scheduled activities, you might need to suggest some ways to lull them into daydreaming. Spot shapes in the clouds as they drift by. Listen to all the noises you can hear in your neighborhood. Pick a small square of grass and see how many bugs you can find nestling there.
Capture the magic
Summer holidays often feel like they go on forever and it's easy to find yourself counting down the days until the kids go back to school so you can take a well-deserved breath. But it won't be long before you're looking back fondly on these days and wondering where the time went.
I recently heard a saying about childhood – "the days go slow, but the years go fast." Before you know it, your kids won't want to hang out with you anymore during the summer break! So, be sure to capture plenty of photos and videos over the summer. You could get the whole family together for a garden photo shoot. Host a fun fashion show where the kids design the outfits, star in the show and take photos. Or set the kids the task of creating a photo or video journal of a day in their life. You'll never regret capturing photos so you can remember the magic in years to come.

A winter school of the FP7 project CCQED (Circuit and Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics) is held in Les Houches from the 26th February to 2nd March 2012. The CCQED Winter School is aimed at PhD students and postdocs working in the field of circuit and cavity QED. Besides a general introductory course on the principles of the field, there will be lectures on the experimental realizations in different physical systems such as atoms in optical cavities, superconducting circuits, quantum dots in photonic crystal cavities and many more. The participants will learn about the possibilities and the difficulties that each of the systems is offering. Theory sessions will complement the experimental lectures to give a deeper insight in current theoretical approaches. We encourage the participants to present posters about their work to exchange ideas and activate discussions.

With the new fuel economy and emissions requirements, multiple air system actuators must be used to meet transient power demands and change the engine operating point while minimizing emissions. Due to coupling in system dynamics, traditional single-loop PI controls prove to be insufficient. Also, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) control techniques are increasingly seen as an attractive alternative. Model predictive control offers a structured and intuitive way to accomplish MIMO design. This presentation shows how to design model predictive controllers for simultaneous control of boost pressure and exhaust gas recirculation mass flow targets in the presence of driver fuel demand and engine speed changes using VGT and EGR. A high-fidelity engine model is linearized at multiple operating conditions using system identification methods. The resulting linear models are used for the design of a gain-scheduled model predictive controller. This controller is then validated in nonlinear simulation.

Rude Awakenings from Behaviourist Dreams. Methodological Integrity and the GDPR
by Mireille Hildebrandt (Vrije Universiteit Brussels, Belgium)
Recommendations are meant to increase sales or ad revenue, since this is the first priority of those who pay for them. As recommender systems match their recommendations with inferred preferences, we should not be surprised if the algorithm optimises for lucrative preferences and thus co-produces the preferences they mine. In this talk I will explain how the GDPR will help to break through this vicious circle, by constraining how people may be targeted.
About the Speaker
Mireille Hildebrandt is a Research Professor on 'Interfacing Law and Technology' at Vrije Universiteit Brussels (VUB), appointed by the VUB Research Council. She works with the research group on Law Science Technology and Society studies (LSTS) at the Faculty of Law and Criminology. She also holds the part-time Chair of Smart Environments, Data Protection and the Rule of Law at the Science Faculty, at the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (iCIS) at Radboud University Nijmegen. Her research interests concern the implications of automated decisions, machine learning and mindless artificial agency for law and the rule of law in constitutional democracies. Mireille has published 4 scientific monographs, 22 edited volumes or special issues, and over 100 chapters and articles in scientific journals and volumes. In 2018 she received an ERC Advanced Grant for her project on 'Counting as a Human Being in the era of Computational Law' (2019-2024).

To view more Q&A's on a different topic, please select one from the list below.
Sort out your seasonal issues with the help of our local experts
Q. After a whirlwind romance, we're planning a wedding at short notice, and I haven't done anything about the flowers! What can you suggest in terms of on-trend summer florals?
A. Sandra Green says: The big trend this year is the Colour of the Year 2019 released by Pantone called Living Coral. It's a warm coral hue with golden undertones that puts you in mind of hot summer days, walks on the beach, sunsets and holidays far away.
This colour is well represented in the flower world. Choose coral charm peonies, Miss Piggy or vuvuzela roses, aazur salmon ranunculus, and coco yuko hypericum. Don't worry about mixing in a few exotics for added texture, such as orange leucospermum, ananas (baby pineapples), and banksia. Complement with blue grey foliages of hebe, rosemary, sage, dusty miller, echeveria and eucalyptus.
If a paler scheme is preferred, then one of the style trends this year from the Flower Council is called Soft Landing. Consisting of harmonious pastel shades, and comfortable shapes, even hard materials such as containers should have a soft appearance. Think feathery plume-shaped flowers such as celosia, astilbe, veronica, and grasses, or pillowlike hydrangeas and alliums. Colours range from cream, through blush pink, to lilac, with soft velvety foliage, or tiny flowers that create a cloud-like effect such as gypsophila.
Q. What are the most important things to remember when it comes to having a summer wedding?
A. Becky Steljes says: The weather seems to always be at the forefront of our summer brides' minds. Generally, if you've picked a summer wedding – you're hoping for good weather and if you get it, great. My advice always stays the same though, don't just plan your wedding around having good weather; make sure that you've got a really good plan B up your sleeve. There's lots of ways to make sure you won't be disappointed if you wake up and the weather hasn't gone to plan.
Have a chat with your photographer prior to the day and make a stormy/rainy day photo plan too. We have had some of the most amazing wedding photos taken during less than perfect weather conditions here at Hillfields Farm. Make the most of the dramatic settings or get some cute umbrellas close to hand and have some fun!
Be organised! This generally goes without saying when it comes to weddings, but people tend to be busier in the summer months and often get holidays booked early. Make sure you get your save the dates and invites out early to avoid disappointment.
Q. We've got our hearts set on an al fresco, boho-style big day, but some members of the wedding party are expecting something more traditional and indoors-based. How can we make sure everybody is happy?
A. Jennifer Hall says: It's important to remember that this is your wedding. Family and friends will always have an opinion on what you should and shouldn't do, but it's what you want to do that really matters.
The main concern guests have about an outdoor wedding is being uncomfortable. Make sure you're telling your guests on your wedding website or in your guest information all the details; if there's a chance it may be muddy then let your guests know to bring their wellies. If it's going to be hot and sunny, make sure you have plenty of shade, so people don't have to sit in the hot sun, and make sure there's plenty of water available. If it's going to rain, make sure you have adequate shelter for your guests such as a stretch tent. And if it's going to be a bit chilly, look at bringing in some firepits and have some blankets available. As long as your guests are well prepared and comfortable, they will be happy.
Q. We're looking for ideas for entertainment at our festival-style wedding – any suggestions?
A. Steven Robertson says: We love a festival wedding – what could be better than replicating those carefree days (and nights) of singing along to your favourite bands? To capture the excitement and sheer summer bliss of your favourite festival, we recommend an acoustic act. Thanks to the likes of Ed Sheeran and Mumford & Sons, acoustic musicians are all the rage right now. Ranging from singer-guitar solo acts to full indie-folk bands, these upbeat performers specialise in raising the mood – and a few smiles – with their unique take on wedding entertainment.
Acoustic acts perfectly complement the festival theme during every moment of your big day: a delicately strummed ballad for your walk down the aisle; a roaming set of chilled live-lounge pop and rock covers as guests sip drinks and munch on street food; an energising evening show combining the best in modern folk and acoustic covers of party hits to get everyone's feet stomping. For the ultimate festival line-up, you could opt for acoustic musicians to kick things off, before moving on to a main-stage headlining indie-rock band to take the celebrations into the early hours!

And, people love to go for out of the box packaging designs for their gifts which they think can add more value to their gifts. We usually believe that breaking the stereotypes in the packaging industry is too limited to the gift industry, but the truth is out of the box packaging design has gone too far. Where specialized packaging design was limited to only for few occasions like festivals, annual days etc, now clients approach design agencies to design excellent packaging solution for their generic product range so that they can create more appeal to their brand building efforts. Dezmak is here to help in great out of the box packaging design solution. "

Defining mobile marketing is something of a challenge. It is utilized in different ways by different businesses. Most experts agree that mobile marketing encompasses marketing on mobile phones and other portable devices. This article will help you understand the benefits of mobile marketing.
Qr Codes
If you are addressing a relatively technology-savvy audience, add QR codes on your printed material. That way, people using smart phones will be able to easily visit your web site for access to your special promotions or coupon offers. Have the QR codes on collateral like catalogs, business cards, posters, and brochures. If you include a QR code, anyone who is interested will instantly be able to access your website and learn about your products or services.
Pay close attention to what your competitors are doing, this is a great way to gain an edge in social marketing. You need to be discernible from the competition.
Be wary of the time of day you text your customers. Not too late not too early. Regardless of how tempting the offer or how enticing the message may be, customers are unlikely to appreciate an off-hours text.
Mobile Marketing
Mobile marketing is a great way to increase your profits. Many people now use their mobile devices to check out social networking. Both of these areas are ideal starting points for expanding your mobile marketing campaign. Bring your marketing efforts to the places your customers already are.
You should know how mobile devices work to know how to format your site and ads. Try using different mobile devices to learn what your consumers will need to do.
Almost everyone is familiar with the idea of offering free apps, but not everyone understands just how easy it can be to develop one that meets the needs of your business. If you create a great customer app, it can generate huge numbers of leads and increase profits greatly. There is a wide variety of features that might suit your purposes.
Keep in mind that mobile customers will use a smartphone to view your website, and these people may have difficulty navigating. If you ensure your mobile marketing site is user friendly to both home computer users and mobile users, it will succeed, even if the page looks a bit simplistic on a home computer.
If you decide to incorporate SMS messaging as part of your mobile marketing campaign, you should clearly state how frequently messages will be sent when customers opt-in, and have an easy way to opt-out. Improperly used SMS can backfire against you. It can feel like it's invading peoples' privacy. Be honest and tell your customers what your SMS campaign will be like and stick to a certain number of messages you can send every month. Honesty creates loyal customers.
Make sure your emails are mobile friendly to ensure that they will be effective in reaching as many of your customers as possible. Give them the option of clicking on phone numbers instead of links, and make sure any pages your links take them to look good on a mobile device. Many people only look at their email on their phones now, so when you draft your emails it is important to keep this in mind.
Adding maps to your website, that are mobile friendly, can help bring in new customers. These maps enable customers to easily locate your business with their mobile device. They will be especially useful when customers are searching for businesses in their vicinity.
Quick Response or "QR" codes consist of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background, and they work well as a means for expanding your brand and enticing customers to access your content. With these codes you can share coupons, promotions and discounts. These codes are easy to implement for the vendor and easy for customers to capture with a phone camera. QR codes enable you to make fast and easy contact with your customers while providing them with important information.
Stay current. In your zealousness to implement the latest mobile technologies, don't forget your business is at stake. Be thoughtful about your use of this potent new marketing tool. The content you provide to customers and potential customers needs to be relevant to them. Customers respond to useful information and targeted ads with more purchases.
Mobile Marketing
As mentioned above, marketing through mobile advertising is different for everyone. No globally accepted definition exists, though most will agree that mobile marketing includes using tactics that are compatible with cell phones. By using the information in this article, you can better understand how mobile marketing can work for your business.

Butternut Squash Fries
Butternut Squash Fries baked in the oven until they are nice and crispy make a healthier alternative to traditional french fries. Jump to Recipe keyboard_arrow_down
For me, there can never enough options for simple oven fries. I love them all - from the classic oven baked or sweet potato fry to the green bean fry to the zucchini fry to the celery root fry. You get the idea. So in my quest to make all things into fries, I whipped up these simple squash fries few nights back and loved them. I used butternut squash but an acorn, kabocha, or delicata squash would work as well. From there, season them up with your favorite spices, and bake until crispy. I like the combination of smoky cumin and paprika with squash because its naturally sweet, but any spice combo will work.

A rubric is a standard of performance for a defined population. A rubric contains a set of criteria typically linked to learning objectives. Rubrics are used to assess or communicate about product, performance, or process tasks.
A rubric communicates expectations of quality around a task. The complex and sometimes subjective criteria are transparent and allow for teachers and students to readily evaluate work. Rubrics can also provide a platform for self-evaluation, reflection, and peer review. The purpose is to create an accurate and fair assessment that fosters understanding and indicates a way to proceed with formative and summative assessments.
Considerations or Implications:
- Rubrics can be created in a variety of forms and levels of complexity; however, they all contain the following features:
- Focus on measuring a stated objective (performance, behavior, or quality)
- Use a range to rate performance
- Contain specific performance characteristics arranged in levels indicating the degree to which a standard has been met
- Are written in language that students can understand
- Define and describe quality work
- Refer to common weaknesses in a students' work
- Can be used by students to assess their works-in-progress and thereby guide revision and improvement
With the upcoming focus on personalized student learning, rubrics will probably become more popular with teachers as a means of communicating expectations for an assignment, providing focused feedback on works in progress, and grading student work.
