The Monticello Theatre Association (MTA) was formed in 1975 with the primary goal of fostering an appreciation of the performing arts in Monticello. For the first few years of its existence, the MTA presented four performances of two major plays each year in various venues. Plays ranged from the melodrama Dirty Work At The Crossroads to the Pulitzer Prize winning The Shadow Box.
Camp Creek Playhouse
In 1989, the MTA mounted a successful fund drive to purchase a former duck processing plant. It was transformed into a dinner theater – The Camp Creek Playhouse. The building was converted with the help of many supporters and countless hours of volunteer labor along with the financial support of loyal patrons and businesses. With the completion of the building, the MTA was able to expand the scope of its dramatic presentations.
The Camp Creek Playhouse hosted guest performances including Jim Post's Mark Twain and the Laughing River and Grammy Award winner Allison Kraus and the Union Station. To help meet the expenses of the theater, MTA made the building available for rental during the times when the stage was dark. The playhouse became a popular facility for wedding receptions, company dinners, and amateur shows by other community groups.
After nearly 25 years of bringing the performing arts to the stage in the Monticello region, the MTA suffered a crushing blow. In the last week of March, 1999, the Camp Creek Playhouse was destroyed by fire. The storage shed containing set materials, some props and about 75% of the costumes survived with only minor damage. The rest of the building, the auditorium, cast room, kitchen and lobby were a total loss.
Our Current Playhouse
In the years after that disastrous fire, the MTA continued to performed plays in various venues. We purchased the building across the road from Monticello Forest Preserve park and, with the help of our members and friends, we created the Phoenix Theatre which we now refer to as the MTA Theatre. In this facility we will continue to produce outstanding theatre experiences for our audience.

A pleasantly surprising, and new, long player: welcome to nuclear power, Brookfield
by Stephen E. Aplin • January 16, 2018 • 2 Comments
After years of enduring tiresome greenwash-laden press releases about wind and solar power from rentseeking billion dollar companies like Berkshire Hathaway, Loblaw, and Tesla, I was refreshed and encouraged to see Brookfield Business Partners, a subsidiary of Canadian Brookfield Asset Management, step into the nuclear power game.1 Brookfield surprised many with its announcement in early January that it wants to buy Westinghouse's nuclear services business from Toshiba.
Brookfield Place, Toronto
So just why is a Canadian asset manager buying a bankrupt American reactor maker?
Maybe it was the cold front that has gripped North America for the better part of the last three weeks (four weeks in Ottawa Canada, where I live). I know Brookfield primarily as a manager of major buildings, and not just the fabulous Brookfield Place in Toronto right next to the NHL Hall of Fame. The company has contracts with Canadian federal government departments with buildings here in Ottawa, and employs a number of my power engineer friends who make sure HVAC systems run properly—an important job in the fairest of weather, and life-or-death critical during cold snaps and heat waves. The basis of all this is power, and buildings use a lot of it. That makes energy an area of strategic interest for property managers.
This means nuclear power is in an area of vital strategic interest for the buyer. Buildings use enormous amounts of both thermal and electrical power. More large entities are beginning to look at heat and power in a holistic way, i.e. as two sides of the same coin. Perhaps Brookfield is such an entity: perhaps it recognizes that by investing in nuclear power it is investing in something that can provide both thermal and electrical power to its buildings in the most efficient way.2
Right at this moment,3 the outdoor temperature in Ottawa is minus 21°C, including windchill. There are two Brookfield-managed federal government office towers (Place de Ville Phase Two, Towers A and B, each 22 storeys) in downtown. Those two towers are losing heat at the rate of about 1.2 megawatts.
This heat is being replenished by gas fired steam, likely originating at the Cliff Street central heating plant behind the Supreme Court. Probably all Brookfield buildings in Canada, and all those in the U.S., are heated with gas. Gas fired heat at its most efficient comes with roughly 200 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilowatt-hour, and 0.142 to 0.212 grams of nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Nuclear comes with zero grams of CO2, zero grams of NOx, zero grams of sulfur oxides (SOx).
Not only that, nuclear generated electricity is amazingly robust against disruptions of all sorts. In cold snaps like we've just experienced, priority is given to natural gas as a home heating fuel. When the demand for gas rises, commercial entities that use it have to scale back. Nuclear plants are immune to such events: there is no danger of their running out of fuel. They typically ride through extreme weather events under full power.
Another possible motivation for the purchase of Westinghouse may be desire to avoid legal trouble in connection with heat-related crises. Concern is growing over the urban heat island effect (see my article "Green energy and the Toronto Heat Island" ). Big buildings are major and measurable contributors to the heat island. Measurability, in the hands of a smart lawyer, can translate into culpability—it may only be a matter of time before we see lawsuits related to heat pollution in summer.
Besides, the idea of cooling a building by burning natural gas to power a chiller seems unfathomably selfish and unneighbourly. By burning gas to cool an indoor space, you are contributing to the heat island effect in an additional (and environmentally destructive) way: not only are you taking the indoor heat and throwing it outside, but you are using a heat engine, i.e., creating more heat, to do it. In view of this, electric chilling should be mandatory. And with heat extremes intensifying, electrical demand will increase. It would be best to meet it with nuclear.
Is it possible that Brookfield, which holds assets in buildings and utilities, sees itself as a vertically integrated building manager and that the vertical integration includes heat and power?
Or does the company simply see Westinghouse as a good deal solely on the basis of potential for overseas reactor sales in places like India and China, where there is a desperate need for zero-carbon power and a desire to buy equipment that has a good international brand, and/or servicing contracts wherever there are pressurized (light) water reactors already?
Whichever it is, I am glad to see a long-game-playing Moneyballer enter the business. Welcome to nuclear power, Brookfield.
To his credit, Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet at least admits publicly why he invests in wind power: for the subsidies.
Loblaw is worse: it collects millions from Ontario ratepayers for electricity it generates with solar panels on its store roofs. Under Ontario's FIT program, ratepayers are forced to buy this electricity at 52 cents (according to Scott Luft, >70 cents) per kilowatt-hour—five to seven times the cost of a peak-hour kWh from Ontario's grid.
Tesla is the worst. Not only can it not even survive without massive subsidies from the U.S. federal and state governments, it is now trying to subsidy-chase its way to eliminating what it regards as its competition in electricity generation. Its CEO Elon Musk recently voiced support for closing the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant in California; he thinks that he can replace Diablo's 2000 megawatts of 24/7 power with (heavily subsidized) solar panels and (even more heavily subsidized) batteries. Whether Musk actually believes his own laughable hype is an open question. No one else should, but unfortunately, judging from Tesla's stock price, plenty of people apparently do.
Yes, the company has a portfolio of renewable energy, but it may be that it views renewables in the same way Billy Beane views the latest-greatest closer: as a way to profit from the "market" stupidity that overvalues them. Buildings require power in bulk at all hours of the day. Like the electrical grid, there are only three sources of this kind of power: hydro, fossil thermal, or nuclear.
I am writing this at ten a.m. Tuesday January 16 2018.

Some re-shaping of detainee cases may come
By	Lyle Denniston
on Dec 10, 2008 at 7:02 pm
The federal judge coordinating the cases of some 200 Guantanamo Bay detainees challenging their long-term confinement gave hints on Wednesday that he may re-shape somewhat how those cases are to be handled by more than a dozen other federal judges. The most likely point of change, it appeared, would be some relaxation of the government's duty to search widely throughout an array of intelligence and other agencies for information that would help the detainees in their challenges.
At the same time, however, Senior U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan seemed not inclined to make wholesale revisions that would seriously compromise the detainees' chances of defending themselves against further captivity. And Hogan did not react favorably to the government's alternative suggestion that he send the entire controversy over the shape of the detainee cases up to the D.C. Circuit Court, saying that might require another four years to get the cases decided finally.
Even as it is, the judge suggested that, at best, the detainees cases could be decided altogether by no sooner than next spring or summer. A Justice Department lawyer indicated it might be by the end of the summer — more than a year after the Supreme Court's June 12 decision giving the detainees' a constitutional right to go to court to challenge their captivity (Boumediene v. Bush).
At one point near the end of the one hour, 40-minute hearing, Judge Hogan raised the prospect that six months of work by judges and lawyers to work out ways to implement the Supreme Court's Boumediene decision might come to nothing. Without directly mentioning President-elect Barack Obama and his thoughts about closing Guantanamo Bay entirely, Hogan said "one thing that concerns" him is that a shift of the detainees to the U.S. could take away the Washington federal courts' authority to decide the habeas cases.
Hogan promised a decision "within the next week" on the government's plea for sweeping changes in the order he issued Nov. 6 setting up the framework for 113 detainee habeas cases involving more than 200 Guantanamo prisoners. Briefly discussing what he would be thinking about as he made that decision, the judge strongly implied that he would reject the detainee lawyers' suggestion that his Nov. 6 order was not open to any change, and their broader argument that he should not even consider the government's plea for change because Justice Department lawyers failed to meet with detainees' counsel to try to work out compromises before going to court with the proposal for wide-ranging alterations of the Hogan order.
At the center of the controversy is what is called a "case management order" — a blueprint drawn up by Hogan, in his role as coordinating judge, that spells out the process for actual trials of the 113 detainee cases under his temporary supervision. That order, or variations of it, are expected to be followed by a dozen other judges in Washington, once Hogan has finished laying down the framework and returned the cases to those judges for habeas trials.
If Hogan does not make significant changes in the order, Deputy Assistant Attorney General John O'Quinn said at Wednesday afternoon's hearing, it would be months, not weeks, before any habeas trials could even start.
That's because, he argued, significant parts of the case management order imposed significant new evidence-gathering burdens on the government, involving much classified information that intelligence agencies have to go over line-by-line, page-by-page before allowing the data to be put in court papers, even in classified form.
"There is no file on a shelf with everything there is on a given detainee," O'Quinn said. "Guantanamo is, first and foremost, an intelligence operation," with many agencies involved in its activities and in information-gathering. "This is a world of intelligence," he said, "not a criminal evidence locker."
O'Quinn focused his argument on three basic changes the government wants made in Hogan's order: nullifying a requirement that the government turn up and hand over information that might aid the detainees' challenges, nullifying a requirement that the government hand over any documents or statements backing up the government's reasons for detention, and overturning or relaxing a requirement that the government share classified information or "substitutes" with detainees and their lawyers.
The first of those obligations, O'Quinn said, would require the government to spend 50,000 man-hours — a figure that Judge Hogan seemed to find impressive.
The government lawyer also contended that the Hogan order, if left as is, would lead potentially to a massive disclosure of highly classified information, including secrets on how the government gathers intelligence. Whatever rights the detainees have, he contended, they have no right to compromise the nation's intelligence operations.
Hogan, at points in the hearing, was openly skeptical of some of O'Quinn's arguments, suggesting that the Supreme Court's decision in Boumediene gave the federal courts wide latitude to fashion new procedures for deciding the detainee cases.
The judge also wondered openly why the government's lawyers had not come up with many of their new objections before he crafted his case management order. He also admonished lawyers on both sides to do more to cooperate and find new ways to move the habeas cases along, to head off what he said could be years more of litigation over the detainees' fate. The judge commented: "It doesn't help [the detainees] to win cases in the Supreme Court, if it takes fiveyears to get there."
Speaking for all of the detainees, Washington lawyer David Cynamon opened his argument with strong criticism of the government, for failing to meet with detainees' lawyers to work on procedural problems, for using every opportunity to delay the cases, for failing to give detainees' lawyers backup information on reasons for detention so that the detainees could respond, and for failing even to say when such information would be provided.
"I think," Cynamon said, "sometimes the only way to get the attention of a mule is to hit it over the head with a two-by-four." That, he said, may be what is needed to get the government to "move on" to get the cases decided.
Although the lawyer was reluctant to discuss specifically the government's challenges, arguing that they were not properly before Judge Hogan now, he did defend vigorously the requirement that the government have a continuing obligation to share with detainees' lawyers anything it has that might answer the reasons for detention.
"The government has a virtual monopoly over all of the information in these cases," he said. "We start with a huge, huge disadvantage." The materials that the detainees' lawyers need, he said, are the "core materials" that would help them make their case for release.
If the government has problems with Hogan's order, it can take that up, case by case, with the individual District judges when the cases are returned by Hogan to those judges for trial, Cynamon argued.
When Cynamon stood up later, as the hearing was about to close, and offered to make an argument against shifting the whole controversy up to the Circuit Court (wondering, sarcastically, if Hogan was "going to buy that used car"), the judge said that, without indicating what he would decide on that point, he did not need to hear argument on it.
Because of the government's challenge to Hogan's Nov. 6 order, all of the detainee cases covered by that order have stopped their progress toward merits trials. The judge lamented that fact Wednesday.
In the end, he said he would take into account both the government's national security worries, and the fact that the detainees had filed the first habeas challenges nearly seven years ago, yet they "have not had their day in court."

After appearing in many stage plays, Ted Levine began to appear in TV productions and films, which all increased the overall sum of Ted Levine net worth a lot.
His breakthrough came when he was chosen for the role of Buffalo Bill in the popular movie called "The Silence of the Lambs". After that, he was mostly chosen to appear in villainous roles. He got a more positive role in the production called "Heat". Then, he was chosen for a part of astronaut Alan Shepard in the HBO production called "From the Earth to the Moon". Also, Ted Levine appeared in a popular movie called "The Fast and the Furious" as Sergeant Tanner.
Ted Levine got a part in the film called "Georgia", which became one of his most positive roles. In 2003, the actor appeared in the movie called "Wonderland" as Detective Sam Nico. In the period of 2002-2009, he was appearing in the TV series called "Monk" as Captain Leland Stottlemeyer. The series aired on the USA Network and in them, Ted Levine appeared next to Tony Shalhoub. Thus, all of these mentioned TV productions and films have also added up a lot of revenues to the overall size of Ted Levine net worth.
The actor is also a voice artist. As such, he is mostly known for voicing the role of the supervillain Sinestro in productions, such as "Superman: The Animated Series", "Justice League", "Justice League Unlimited" and "Static Shock".

Click here to read Council's Rating Strategy for the 2018–19 financial year, adopted at the Ordinary Meeting of Council held on Thursday 1 March 2018.
An increase in the additional pension rebate from $40 to $70.
These changes became effective on Sunday 1 July 2018.
A Cultural and Recreational Land rate of 75% of the general residential property rate.
In reviewing the Borough's Rating Strategy, Council has benchmarked all rates (including differential rates) and charges (including waste management) with those charged by other neighbouring G21 region councils. The 2018–19 Rating Strategy considers the State Government's rate capping legislation which commenced 1 July 2016 and provides for the continued full cost recovery of waste management expenditure for the collection of kerbside, green and public waste.
Council previously revised its Rating Strategy in 2016. Continuous improvement by way of regular review (at least once in every Council term) is important to keep pace with changes in legislation and ensure the application of rates and charges is fair and equitable.

Every woman loves firm breasts in good shape. Breasts are prone to sagginess for many reasons. Aging, hormonal fluctuations, post pregnancy, weight gain or loss, are a few. Although sagging breasts is common, going under the knife is not the only solution that can help you get firm breasts. With regular exercises you can easily make it firm and get back good shape.
Push-ups are difficult and painful. However, to regain the firm breast and stop further drooping, just go for it. Going through pain gives you amazing results. It tones, stabilizes and strengthens the chest muscles. Besides, it also act as an exercise that tones your whole body.
Lie down on the floor, which face pointing towards the floor. Rest your palm firmly on the floor. Slowly raise your body and balance it with palms and toes. Gradually lift and lower your body. Don't strain too much, try to repeat maximum numbers possible. You can gradually increase the count.
Lie down on the floor facing the roof. Hold dumbbells in each hand. Extend your hands and ensure it is in line with the shoulders. Gently raise your arms to 90 degree straight aka perpendicular, pointing the roof. Hold in the same position for few counts and lower the arms. Repeat the same for 10 to 20 times.
This is probably the simplest and the easiest exercise that lifts and tones your breast. This is also called wall press. When you apply pressure with your arms and chest muscles, it targets your pectoral muscles, which tones your breasts.
Stand straight facing the wall. Lean towards the wall with your palm. Put maximum pressure possible with your hands, just like you try to push it. Apply pressure for a stretch of 5 to 10 seconds and repeat it for a few minutes.
This is simple modified version of chest press. Just like you perform the chest press exercise in a reclining position, go for this in a standing position.
Carry equal weight in both hands. Stand straight with legs placed feet apart. Raise your arms and keep it extended from the body, where the arms are raised sideways, straight to the shoulder level. Hold in the extended position for few counts and lower the arms. Repeat for few times.
This is precisely a form of yoga pose that helps you tone the upper body and gives uplift to your breast. It is called Bhujangasana or cobra pose, where your raise the body from the base of the hip and balance the whole body with arms and lower body.
Lie down on the floor, where your face faces the floor. Place your arms on the floor, with palms touching the floor. Ensure you firmly hold the floor and gradually lift the upper body till your bikini line. Balance yourself with arms and legs. Lift your head and chin up. Maintain the position for few seconds to couple of minutes.
It sounds relatively easy and effective as well. You can perform this exercise at any time, any place comfortably. All you need to do is press your palms. Yes, the intensity of pressure tones your chest muscles and uplifts the drooping breasts.
Stand straight. Bring both hands together before your chest. Clutch or hold on to each other palm. Press the palms with maximum pressure for 10 to 15 minutes. Relax and repeat for a few times.
Stretches make the best exercises to tone the muscles. Elbow stretch is ideal to firm your breasts and gives natural uplift.
Stand straight. Move your hands towards back of the head and rest it behind. Place one palm on other palm, (left palm over right palm). Ensure it is placed firmly. Gradually stretch your elbow backwards, and try to stretch as much as possible. You will experience a pressure and maintain it for few seconds. Relax, back to normal position and repeat.
A modified version of above exercise, tones the chest muscles, which gives good shape to the breasts.
Stand straight and take your hands behind your body. The palm of the hands should face upwards. Stretch your hands behind maximum possible, where you feel mild pressure in arms, shoulders and chest. Relax, and repeat it for few times.
These are simple but best exercises to tone your breasts. Uplift your breast and get back into shape without undergoing any cosmetic surgery.

Responses Seen With Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab in Advanced Urothelial Cancer
Conference | ESMO Congress
Enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab induced objective responses in close to three-quarters of patients with cisplatin-ineligible locally advanced urothelial cancer, according to the results of a preliminary clinical evaluation.
Christopher J. Hoimes, DO
Enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) induced objective responses in close to three-quarters of patients with cisplatin-ineligible locally advanced urothelial cancer, according to the results of a preliminary clinical evaluation.
Responses to enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab occurred quickly and irrespective of PD-L1 expression status. The combination's safety profile appeared to be manageable and tolerable and was similar to previous trials of single-agent enfortumab vedotin, Christopher J. Hoimes, DO, of Case Western Reserve/Seidman Cancer Center, reported at the 2019 ESMO Congress.
"There is a high unmet need for effective and tolerable therapies in first-line cisplatin-ineligible patients with locally advanced and metastatic urothelial cancer," said Hoimes. "Enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab demonstrates encouraging activity in this population. Enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab has the potential to become a platinum-free option for cisplatin-ineligible locally advanced and metastatic urothelial cancer patients in the first-line setting."
The study population described by Hoimes has a historical response rate of about 40% with standard-of-care regimens consisting of gemcitabine and carboplatin. The patients have limited treatment options that are associated with poor durability, tolerability, and survival, he said. Recently, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have shown promising durability in patients whose tumors exhibited high PD-L1 expression.
Enfortumab vedotin targets nectin-4, a protein that is highly and uniformly expressed by urothelial cancer and certain other solid tumors. In an early clinical trial, treatment with single-agent enfortumab vedotin led to a 44% objective response rate, including complete responses in 12% of patients with locally advanced/metastatic urothelial cancer that had progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1/L1 inhibitors. The agent had a manageable and tolerable safety profile.
The encouraging activity of single-agent enfortumab vedotin supported its evaluation in the first-line setting, said Hoimes.
Several lines of evidence provided a rationale for combining enfortumab vedotin with pembrolizumab. The anti—nectin-4 antibody is linked to the microtubule disruptor monomethyl auristatin E, which induces immunogenic cell death (ICD). ICD results in the release of innate immune-activating molecules that stimulate antigen presenting-cell activation and presentation of tumor antigens to T cells. The T-cells then mount an antigen-specific response, which PD-1/L1 inhibitors have been shown to augment.
Hoimes reported findings from a dose escalation/expansion study involving patients with cisplatin-ineligible urothelial cancer. The dose-escalation phase included patients (n = 5) with cisplatin ineligibility in the first- or second-line setting. The expansion phase limited enrollment to patients (n = 40) with newly diagnosed disease. Patients received enfortumab vedotin on days 1 and 8 of 3-week cycles, and pembrolizumab was administered on day 1 of each cycle.
The primary endpoints were adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. Secondary endpoints included dose-limiting toxicities, objective response rate, disease control rate, duration of response, and overall survival.
The 45 patients had a median age of 69, and men accounted for 80% (n = 36) of the study population. The primary tumor location was lower tract in 69% (n = 31), and metastatic sites consisted of lymph nodes only in 4 patients, and visceral disease in the remaining 41, including liver metastases in 15 patients. PD-L1 expression status by combined composite score was <10 in 19 patients, ≥10 in 13, and not evaluable/not available in 13.
Median treatment duration was 6.0 months and median number of treatment cycles was 7.0.
The combination of enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab led to objective responses in 32 (71%) patients, including complete responses in 6 (13%). Ten (22%) additional patients had stable disease as best results, leading to a clinical benefit rate of 93%. Two patients were not evaluable for response status, leaving just 1 patient with progressive disease as best response. All but 3 evaluable patients had some degree of tumor shrinkage.
Hoimes said 91% of objective responses were observed at the first assessment (week 9), and the median time to response was 2.0 months. Duration of response ranged from 1 to 10.5 months and ongoing, and 22 of 32 responding patients remained on treatment.
Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurring in ≥20% of patients included fatigue (49%), alopecia (47%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (47%), diarrhea (40%), decreased appetite (33%), dysgeusia (31%), nausea (29%), pruritus (27%), maculopapular rash (27%), weight loss (22%), and anemia (20%). The most common grade ≥3 TRAEs were increased lipase (13%), fatigue (9%), and maculopapular rash (7%).
TRAEs of special interest for enfortumab vedotin (peripheral neuropathy, rash, and non-fasting hyperglycemia) occurred at rates similar to those observed in studies of single-agent enfortumab vedotin. Immune-mediated adverse events requiring systemic steroids affected 9 patients and were grade ≥3 severity in 5 cases.
Earlier this month, theFDA granted a priority review designationto a biologics license application (BLA) for enfortumab vedotin for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who have received prior treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and platinum-containing chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant, locally advanced, or metastatic setting. Under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, the FDA will make a decision on the BLA by March 15, 2020.

Kongsberg names new VP for APAC & EMEA operations
Former Canon VP David Preskett will be responsible for management of the commercial, service support and financial performance of the business across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asian Pacific territories, said digital finishing solutions manufacturer Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems (Kongsberg PCS).
"I am very pleased to be joining Kongsberg PCS at this exciting time in the organization's development," said Preskett, a former VP Sales at Canon EMEA. "Kongsberg PCS cutting solutions have an excellent reputation for build quality and engineering, adding value to customers' businesses by creating and offering new products that help drive growth. This matches my own passion, helping customers to innovate and discover new ways to be more creative and drive growth in their business.
"I look forward to being a part of the Kongsberg PCS team and working with such a dynamic company. Leveraging the excellent technologies and expertise we have developed will drive growth across the regions and deliver business success for our customers and ourselves."
Based in the UK, David joins Kongsberg PCS from Canon, where he held a mix of sales, marketing, and strategy positions at the European level. He previously gained early exposure to the graphic arts industry spending 10 years at Agfa, both in the UK and at company headquarters in Mortsel, Belgium.
Stuart Fox, CEO and president of Kongsberg PCS said: "As we continue our own strategic program of growth, we are delighted to welcome someone with the exceptional knowledge and skills of David to the Kongsberg family.
Preskett at Ipex 2010
"David is a seasoned commercial professional who combines strong sales and strategy expertise to drive business growth. His experience and breadth of knowledge throughout the sector will be a great asset, both to our business and to all of our customers in the region."
In 2010, Preskett was appointed the first digital-supplier President of the now defunct Ipex global print trade show in the UK. He pioneered Canon's entry into commercial print at the Ipex shows, resulting in the 2010 show having more floorspace taken by digital suppliers than offset. He stepped down prior to the 2014 Ipex after the organisers had moved location from Birmingham's NEC to London Docklands - resulting in an exodus of several major exhibitors.

Nalmefene Reduces Anticipatory Reward in Persons with Alcohol Use Disorder
Nalmefene is a µ- and δ-opioid receptor antagonist, κ-opioid receptor partial agonist that was approved in 2013 in the UK and several European countries for treating alcohol use disorder. In an important double blind, placebo controlled study, Dr. Barbara Mason reported Nalmefene was safe and effective in preventing relapse to heavy alcohol drinking. She described her findings at the first RiverMend Health Scientific Advisory Board meeting.
It Works Like Naltrexone, But with Differences
Nalmefene is considered an opioid antagonist like naltrexone but may have advantages over oral naltrexone in the treatment of alcohol dependence. Nalmifene is a universal opioid antagonist which may allow treatment without injections with reduced side effects and longer duration of antagonist action after oral dosing. Like naltrexone, nalmefene is a pure opioid antagonist with no agonist activity and no abuse potential that may also give a more sustained mu opioid antagonist effect than naltrexone. But, nalmefene also binds to other opioid receptors which are generally thought to have roles in alcohol reinforcement, drinking, and relapse.
Non-µ receptors (Δ and κ) are thought to reinforce alcohol consumption, and nalmefene binds more competitively with µ, Δ, and κ receptors than naltrexone.
New Study Sheds Some Light
Numerous human studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) have demonstrated activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system during reward, learning, the use of psychoactive substances and anticipation of reward. However, the formation of blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) responses in the mesolimbic dopamine system during activation in humans is not well understood. Using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design, Quelch DR, Mick I, et al.) uses FMRI, to determine whether a single dose of nalmefene would have a measurable effect on striatal BOLD signaling during anticipation of reward. The authors report that nalmefene "blunted" the BOLD response in the striatum during anticipation of monetary reward and alcohol intake. The authors offer their findings as support for nalmefene's mechanism of action, e.g., its effect on opioid receptor modulation in the mesolimbic dopamine system.
Naltrexone has been successful in reducing drinking and as a medically-assisted therapy for alcohol dependence. Double blind, placebo controlled direct comparison of Naltrexone vs Nalmefene might allow for both comparable efficacy, adherence and cost-benefit analysis. The overall goal would be to improve access, reduce side effects and cost to such treatments that can be given orally. Alcohol Use Disorder remains the number one reason people seek treatment in the US, and is causally related to the growing health burden in the US, even after adjusting for its beneficial effects. An estimated 88,000 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women) die from alcohol-related causes each year, making alcohol the fourth leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Surely prevention remains a priority, but the need for more effective treatment modalities will save lives.

"Before You Answer to Your Boss, Answer to Your Inner BAWSE"
- Lilly Singh, How to Be A BAWSE
I'm sitting on another flight to San Francisco, and I can't believe I'm saying that.
Just over 5 months ago I accepted another job; something I promised myself I wouldn't do again. But times were desperate. We needed the money, I needed structure, and my husband was thrilled that I had something we both could depend on. Plus it was a job around social media and makeup! What could be better?!
Honestly, it's been wonderful. I've traveled more in the last 5 months than in the last 3 years. I get to work with an exciting, growing team of people from across the continent. I'm secured in a position that involves online content, social media, the latest trends in beauty and fashion and I feel respected and valued every day by my new peers. It's been a strange year, and I realize I'm filling you in at this moment after almost a YEAR of not writing on this blog.
Seriously; shame on me!
And now I found myself about to embark on a NEW blog. That's crazy! What kind of track record do I think lies behind me? I'm TERRIBLE at maintaining consistent content! Just look at my YouTube channels! They're deader than my neighborhood graveyard! (Yes… I live right by a graveyard).
This new blog is a big task. I see it taking off and becoming some kind of awesome magazine with a unique source and an exciting trajectory for a happy, positive, perfect audience. Doesn't that sound great?
Meanwhile I'm getting like… SO inspired trying to listen to my audio books and buying new swords and performing music and scripting content and planning and planning planning planning planning…..
But where's the evidence?
What has actually been happening?
The simplest way I can describe it is that in getting bogged down, I lost the spark. Those aren't even my words - that's what my husband said. That's when I knew I was in trouble
For as long as I can really remember, I've wanted some level of attention and fame. I've wanted success that looks like wealth and carefree vacations without guilt and being seen with the best of the best people. I've wanted to leave a big, sparkly, loud stamp somewhere in this universe loudly proclaiming "I WAS HERE".
I felt this desire the first time I went on stage at Benaroya Hall. I cried these loud, ugly tears in the car ride back from meeting Lilly Singh and feeling like I made a fool of myself. I strangled it with my angry fists when I sat alone and upset after a disappointing day at VidCon last year. I closed my eyes and felt it when I finally finished directing the PBS show I directed last August. I pretended I was living it when I walked through Hogsmeade last year with my sister in California. I truly believed I was taking one step closer to it when I signed my contract in December and then felt it slip away when my computer refused to wake up.
It's been a lot this year.
I've felt pretty lost and confused at times but I really haven't admitted that maybe I'M the real problem. Me. Solely responsible for my own failures. Ouch.
I've been told I over-analyze myself. I've been told that I'm wildly successful and that I should feel incredibly proud of everything I've done. I've been drowned with the idea of my "talent" since I can remember.
"You're too hard on yourself".
Talent doesn't mean success. Being satisfied means never striving for better. Feeling proud is a false security.
I've got work to do.
It started (and failed) with a closer look at how I create my schedule. I've told people my whole adult life that "If I have two days in a row that are the same I start feeling trapped," and then continued with my unproductive ways.
That's no way to solve a problem.
I reformulated and planned and got it down to exactly what I wanted but haven't quite mastered living it yet. I'll get there. "Practice". Practice is really the key to everything, isn't it? TwoSet Violin is on to something…
I've grown too comfortable letting my "hours" determine everything. "Oh I've worked my allotted 6 hours now I can laze around and relax and do nothing!" Yeah… and now I'm gaining weight, losing creativity and motivation and disappointing pretty much everyone.
I have this fanciful idea in my head about the person I am and the audience I'm entertaining with ZERO evidence of that existing.
Sure… I own swords, but can I use them? No.
Sure… I can make myself look pretty but do I take care of myself properly? No.
Sure… I want to be a perfect balance between Snow White and Cersei Lannister but am I really giving that vibe? No.
Sure… I think I'm a talented musician with standout ideas and lots of talent but am I really showcasing those abilities and giving anyone any ounce of reason to really care? No.
I'm re-listening to How To Be A BAWSE by Lilly Singh… as in today I used my Audible Credit and started listening to it and I'm already at Chapter 9. She said the quote above and it really resonated with me.
"Before You Answer to Your Boss, Answer to Your Inner BAWSE."
I've forgotten how to answer to my inner Bawse. Lately, I'm only concerned with answering to my current boss or disappointing my bossy self. I'm all too eager to act like I know what being a boss is without thinking about what the WHOLE POINT of this silly thing called life is supposed to be for me.
I don't want to survive life - I want to conquer it.
I've got this audio book and I've got a membership for a yoga class and an "I'm Awesome" Journal and I'm going to VidCon in just a couple weeks and plenty of performance opportunities in the meantime. I've got plenty of excuses to "wait to be inspired".
But that CAN'T be the answer anymore. What would my inner BAWSE say?
She'd say "You're fired". Ouch.
She expects me to deliver; to find inspiration in all things and work tirelessly to make success happen because hard work is the ONLY WAY IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
And who am I kidding myself?! I'm not working hard, I'm just working and my wheels are spinning! I'm literally moving NOWHERE. What a joke.
Ok, maybe that's like a teensy bit harsh in some respects but that doesn't mean I have plenty to get a move on. Action is the key to this whole thing. I can plan and plan and plan all damn day but I actually have to MOVE and take action.
And when all is said and done, I have to ask my inner Bawse if it's good enough.
But I already know the answer.
It's never enough. Keep going. Keep working.
Keep conquering. :)
I mentioned TwoSet Violin. When you aren't practicing the art of conquering life, go watch their channel then get back to practicing.

Few U.S. Supreme Court decisions in recent memory have attracted as much attention as National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, which upheld most of the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Legal analyst Erwin Chemerinsky offers his take on the health care case and other significant rulings of the 2011 term.
When a client thinks their lawyer isn't being attentive enough, they often don't know what to do. They might end up calling the State Bar. But in a few California counties, unique programs are giving clients a locally-based option to voice their concerns and resolve disputes before they warrant State Bar discipline.
Patrick M. Kelly, a partner at Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker LLP, was chosen as the 88th president of the State Bar. Kelly will take office in October. He'll be sworn in with two newly elected members of the State Bar Board of Trustees, Christopher W. Todd of San Diego and David A. Torres of Bakersfield.
Concerned that current guidelines don't hold law schools to clear enough standards, the State Bar could require schools to maintain a minimum bar exam passage rate to keep their California accreditation. Proposed rules and guidelines being circulated for public comment would require a 50 percent, cumulative pass rate over a five-year period.
A retired Shasta County jurist has been named the state's new administrative director of the courts, the first judge to hold the position. Judge Steven Jahr, who spent 22 years on the bench before retiring in 2009, was appointed following a unanimous vote by the Judicial Council at its meeting July 27.
For the first time in a decade, there are two significant admissions cases pending at the California Supreme Court. One implicates federal immigration policy and the other highlights questions of personal redemption.
The Barristers and Women Lawyers sections of the San Joaquin County Bar Association teamed up to offer a newly created mentorship program.

Access the RICHES Taxonomy
The RICHES Taxonomy (taken from the ancient Greek τάξις "order" and νóμος "rule, norm") is a theoretical framework of interrelated terms and definitions, referring to the new emerging meanings of the digital era (such as "preservation", "digital library", "virtual performance" and "co-creation), aimed at outlining the conceptual field of digital technologies applied to cultural heritage. Such Taxonomy constitutes the foundation of the project's research work, by providing a common background and map that will guide the RICHES studies and underpin the development of further research activity.
Through its list of definitions and explanations – and in accordance with the Greek etymology of the word – the RICHES Taxonomy classifies and orders a wide range of concepts in categories of terms.
The RICHES Taxonomy is now an online resource, an open critical space (experimental in its navigation and interface) allowing the user to explore content and make suggestions of new terms or commendations on specific definitions, bringing new dimensions and points of view into the existing ones.
The tool, comprising around a hundred alphabetically ordered terms, has been developed through the shared work of the project consortium, the contribution of people participating in the first RICHES workshop (13th of May 2014) and the revision of an editorial team constituted by several consortium members.
The taxonomy was launched online in November 2014 and it will be constantly updated and improved, throughout the project's lifetime, with the help of the RICHES Network of Common Interest and visitors to the RICHES website. Any interested user can contribute by suggesting a new term or a revision of an exsisting definition.
Go to the RICHES Taxonomy and search the alphabetically ordered terms by selecting the letters from the menu!

National Rivers Hall of Fame Inductees
Hall of Fame inductees are the pioneers, explorers and artists in America's river history. They were movers and shakers from the days gone by and the recent past. These men and women made significant contributions related to America's rivers, which is why we honor them.

Inducted in 2016
The careers of pilots, engineers and entrepreneurs who made their living on America's waterways relied on those who guided the way and marked the channel. Before the advent of electric lights, the river's twists and turns were especially treacherous. At night, the only safeguards against disaster were kerosene lamps dotting the riverbanks kept lit by dedicated light keepers. Born in Belfast, Ireland, Jane Muckle Robinson came to Dundas, Minnesota in 1881 and began lighting her stretch of the river in 1885 at the age of 23. A lighthouse keeper worked nightly from spring thaw to late fall, responsible for their lights 24 hours a day if needed.
If a light would go out, boat pilots were required to blow their whistles in a series of one long and three short blows until the keeper awoke, rowed out to the lamp, and lit the flame again. Every evening, Robinson would climb aboard a small wooden boat in her billowing skirts and row upstream to her assigned lights she was assigned. She would trim the wick, fill the kerosene, clean the glass, and light the flame. In the morning she repeated the trip so she could extinguish the lamp. Robinson retired in 1921, handing the job over to her son, Robert. She estimated that in her 36-year stint as a government employee she had rowed the equivalent of twice around the globe.

Grady Hospital To Close 2 Clinics
ATLANTA — Grady Memorial Hospital says it will close two neighborhood clinics and increase prescription drug co-payments as the hospital deals with a decline in funding.
Grady spokesman Matt Gove said South DeKalb Health Center in Decatur and Otis W. Smith Health Center in southwest Atlanta will close within three months and patients will be sent to nearby clinics.
Gove said the base co-payment for prescription drugs will rise from $2 to $3 for uninsured patients. The hospital is also cutting 100 jobs.
Board chairman Pete Correll said the changes will save Grady about $10 million.
Fulton and DeKalb counties have cut their allotments to Grady by around $3 million each, adding to a $25 million drop in federal money from the Indigent Care Trust Fund.

Seattle wary of the Saints
RENTON, Wash. — Before Pete Carroll turns his full attention to Seattle's playoff opponent, he'll make sure the Seahawks aren't expecting another easy win against New Orleans like in Week 13.
"We learned and gained information in the game as they did, but we start all over again and start from scratch," Carroll said Monday. "We take a look at what happened since we played them. But I think it would be a mistake to try and call it because of what has happened in the past. We don't care about that."
The Seahawks face New Orleans on Saturday in the second round of the playoffs less than six weeks after Seattle routed the Saints 34-7.
But for all Seattle did in turning that first meeting into a blowout, Carroll wants a new attitude by game time on Saturday.
"I think it's common knowledge and human nature that you would like to think it's going to be the same, but we know better than that," Carroll said. "We need to respect this opportunity for what it is. It's a great championship matchup for us, and they're going to come loaded up and give us a great football game."
Carroll said it was beneficial knowing their opponent Saturday night rather than waiting for the result of Sunday's game between Green Bay and San Francisco.
He's noticed the Saints are committed to running the ball more than when the teams first played. New Orleans ran the ball 36 times in its 26-24 win over Philadelphia on Saturday, a trend over the final two weeks of the regular season. The Saints have had at least 30 rushing attempts in their past three games, after just 17 when they lost to Seattle.
"They ran it quite a bit at Philadelphia. It could have been because of that offense and the conditions and all of that," Carroll said. "We'll have to see how that figures into our game."
Seattle won't practice until today, but one of the lingering questions is the status of wide receiver Percy Harvin and whether he'll play in his second game of the season on Saturday. Harvin's only game was in Week 11 against Minnesota. He participated in practice last week for the first time since that game and will need to make it through this week without any setbacks to play against the Saints.
Harvin was expected to play the first time, but was not unable to overcome soreness around his surgically repaired hip.

Q: Rhino - Is there a way to restore the modified AST to the original one without parsing the code again? I'm implementing a mutation testing tool for JavaScript.
AST is modified and test cases are executed against the modified code.
After running the test cases, I want to restore the modified AST to the original one so that I can repeat the mutation process.
But, I have no idea how to restore it. Any help?
Rhino API Documentation

A: I don't know Rhino specifically so I don't know if it offers specific help for this.   But in general you can straightforwardly do this yourself, by keeping track of the changes you changes you make, as "anti-changes". This scheme works for any system of ASTs, not just Rhino.
A tree consists of nodes, and relations between a node and its children.
To construct a tree, you can execute commands to create a node, create its children, and link them together.  Surely the Rhino API offers primitive support for this.
To re-construct a tree at a later time, we merely make a list of actions to accomplish based on node construction, and child connection/disconnection.
So imagine the following tree:
          1:*
       /      \
     2:+      3:[]
    /  \       /  \
  4:x  5:17  6:a  7:i

I've marked the nodes as n:t where n is a node number and t is the node type or literal value.  We will number the children of a node left to right as 1, 2, ...
Now we modify ("mutate") the tree by replacing 2:+ with a new node 8:mod and 5:17 with 9:j.  Our actions to do this are abstractly, in order:
    disconnect(2,1);  // disconnect node N from its Mth child
    disconnect(2,2);
    disconnect(1,1);
    delete(2);
    delete(5);
    n1=create(mod); // node 8
    n2=create(j); // node 9
    connect(1,1,n1); // connect node 1 child 1 to n1
    connect(n1,1,4);
    connect(n1,2,n2);

We record the inverse actions in reverse order in an (transaction) "undo" list to be processed later:
    [ [disconnect,n1,2],
      [disconnect,n1,1],
      [disconnect,1,1],
      [delete,n2],
      [delete,n1],
      [create,n5,17],
      [create,n2,+],
      [connect,1,1,n2],
      [connect,2,2,n5],
      [connect,2,1,4] ]

This list can be "executed" by looping through the elements in order and simply doing what the elements say with a trivial interpreter.
And it is easily constructed; for every tree mutation operation, we push a new inverse operation on the front of of the undo list.   We can make this easy by replacing our tree mutation operations by tree-mutate-and-remember-inverse operations, e.g.,
      fn disconnect_and_remember_inverse(node,child) {
            push(undo_list,[connect,node,child,nth_child(node,child)]);
            disconnect(node,child);
       }

Where a "delete" operation is used, the inverse will have either recreate the corresponding node type, or, if you will always restore the tree,
simply NOT delete the node and remember it in the "undo" list:
    [ [disconnect,n1,2],
      [disconnect,n1,1],
      [disconnect,1,1],
      [delete,n2],
      [delete,n1],
      // [create,n5,17],
      // [create,n2,+],
      [connect,1,1,2],
      [connect,2,2,5],
      [connect,2,1,4] ]

The place this may get you into trouble are compound tree-smashing operations implemented by Rhino; you obviously want those operations to call these remember_inverse procedures.  That may not be convenient; you'll
have to replicate those procedures with your own equivalents.
Details and subtleties left to the reader.  (I'm not a JavaScript coder either, so forgive any syntax sins I committed).
