A Baronesa Ella van Heemstra,  (Velp, Gelderland, 12 de junho de 1900 – Tolochenaz, 26 de agosto de 1984) foi uma aristocrata holandesa e mãe da atriz Audrey Hepburn.

Biografia
Ella van Heemstra era uma aristocrata neerlandesa e a terceira das cinco filhas do Barão Aarnoud van Heemstra, que foi prefeito de Arnhem de 1910 a 1920, e foi governador real do Suriname de 1921 a 1928. A mãe de Ella era Elbrig Willemine Henriette, baronesa van Asbeck (1873–1939), que era neta do jurista conde Dirk van Hogendorp. Ella passou grande parte de sua infância no Huis Doorn.

Ida para os Estados Unidos e morte
No início da década de 1960, morou em Los Angeles com seu amigo Leonard Gershe e depois em São Francisco, onde fez trabalho voluntário para soldados que voltavam do Vietnã. Quando visitou Los Angeles, foi entretida por amigos como George Cukor, Sra. Mildred Knopf (esposa de Edwin H. Knopf) e Veronique Peck. Ella passou o resto de sua vida na casa de sua filha em Tolochenaz, onde morreu em 1984. Audrey Hepburn acompanhou o corpo de sua mãe para os Países Baixos para o funeral.

Vida pessoal
Van Heemstra foi casada e divorciada duas vezes e teve três filhos.

Aos 19 anos, van Heemstra casou-se com Jonkheer Hendrik Gustaf Adolf Quarles van Ufford (1894–1955). Eles se divorciaram em 1925. Van Heemstra teve dois filhos deste casamento, ambos nascidos nas Índias Orientais Neerlandesas:

 Jonkheer Arnoud Robert Alexander Quarles van Ufford (1920–1979), casado com Maria Margaretha Monné (1919–2006), nasceram:
 Michael Allan Quarles van Ufford (nascido em 17 de julho de 1945)
 Evelyn Joyce Quarles van Ufford (nascida em 2 de agosto de 1947)
 Jonkheer Ian Edgar Bruce Quarles van Ufford (1924–2010), casado com Yvonne Scholtens (1928–2000), nasceram:
 Audrey Yvonne Quarles van Ufford (nascida em 10 de maio de 1954)
 Sandra Claire Quarles van Ufford (nascida em 15 de outubro de 1958)
 Andrew Ian Quarles van Ufford (nascida em 6 de janeiro de 1967)

Van Heemstra casou-se em segundo lugar com Joseph Victor Anthony Ruston (1889–1980) (mais tarde Hepburn-Ruston) em 24 de setembro de 1926 em Batavia, Java, Índias Orientais Neerlandesas. Eles se divorciaram em 24 de junho de 1939 e tiveram uma filha:

 Audrey Kathleen Ruston (nascida em 4 de maio 1929, em Bruxelas), artisticamente conhecida como Audrey Hepburn.

Honras
Ella foi nomeada Dama da Ordem Mais Venerável do Hospital de São João de Jerusalém por Isabel II do Reino Unido em 7 de setembro de 1971.

Q: $rootScope value undefined? This is My Controller data. coupon.offer is ng-model to api. the response got an array. $rootScope.Result is array of data but the $rootScope.Result.offerprice=undefined. how to get the this data
mainCtrl.controller("OrderController",function($scope,$rootScope){
couponres=$resource("http://demo.foodzard.in/api/promocode? code="+$rootScope.coupon.offer)
   if($scope.Total()>=400)
    {
       $rootScope.Result=couponres.get(function(data){
       console.log(data);
       return data;
   });
  console.log($rootScope.Result);
   console.log($rootScope.Result.offerprice)

Response:
Resource {offerid: "6", offerprice: "30", $promise: Promise, $resolved: true}
offerprice:
undefined

i use this
var couponres=$resource("http://demo.foodzard.in/api/promocode?code="+$rootScope.coupon.offer)
   if($scope.Total()>=400)

    {
 $rootScope.Result=couponres.get().$promise.then(function(data){
       console.log(data);

       return data;

   });}

but not working
please provide solution for this

A: You're trying to log the response of the AJAX request right after you have sent the request. That can't work. The first A in AJAX means Asynchronous.
So the response is not available yet at that time. Move your two log statements inside the callback function where you're already logging data.

A: Angular $resource service returns a promise so you can not
have data as soon as you send request!
while you are using an asynchronous function and right
after that, you are logging $rootScope.Result  which
is not resolved yet and there for returns undefined!
you can have the data after the promise is resolved:
couponres.get().$promise.then(function(response) {

   $rootScope.Result = response.data;
    console.log($rootScope.Result);
    console.log($rootScope.Result.offerprice);
});

Update:
now! you can use it in your view.
for example :
<h1>
{{Result.offerprice}}
</h1>

The Governor's state finances proposal , released right now, consists of $5.eight million in rearranged funding and staff for a brand new Office of Health Technique, effective July 2018, to boost coordination and consolidate accountability for the implementation of the state's well being care reform methods." The workplace will mix OHCA (formerly a separate agency, but now part of DPH that oversees CON purposes), SIM, the new HITO (state HIT director yet to be hired) and the Office of Healthcare Advocate. I can't stress how vital it is to ensure that workplace checks are carried out, working in a secure and unsafe free setting the place both the employer and worker has taken accountability for well being and safety will prove to be advantageous for all. Associated to this, patients have to be educated in all of the ways they'll use their EHR, whether or not that be by way of sharing their information to further research, tracking private well being purpose progress, receiving clinical reminders, or asking questions through patient portals.
Patients lose – however slightly: those who are outside of Medicaid, a lot of them will buy skinnier protection or not purchase any business insurance coverage. British Medical Analysis Council News and Publications: Gives current publications, news, and podcasts of research supported by the British authorities. We then speak about among the traits and prospects going forward, and conclude with a dialogue of Mr. Trump's well being coverage platform. While I used to be on the interview path for surgical procedure residency, a department chairman made a racially insensitive remark to the group of interviewees, together with me, an African-American, about not taking care of tar infants" at their hospital. Well being and security is about stopping you getting damage at work or unwell by way of work.
At present's guest is Patrick Jordan, the Chief Working Officer for the Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, positioned in Burlington, Massachusetts, simply outdoors of Boston. Included in the statistic was a graduate who studied in the well being care area however discovered work as a restaurant server and one other who labored as a automotive salesman, in line with the FTC lawsuit. It is a crew-based mostly philosophy that promotes protected and timely care, companies and supports, which helps to meet the well being care wants of sufferers and households in essentially the most appropriate setting. Customise your information feed by selecting from our 106 news classes, or choose our full medical information feed.

Unlike the present nugatory" annual bodily, the personalised well being care annual exam or approaches like it could be the linchpin for preventing ailments and the waste of our valuable health resources. We find that Canadians' experiences with their well being care system fluctuate widely throughout the nation and from our international counterparts.
The California Medical Association (CMA) is carefully following these issues as they play out in Congress and will probably be actively engaged in shaping the way forward for health care reform at the national stage. Apps that entry HealthKit are required to have a privateness coverage, so you should definitely overview these insurance policies earlier than offering apps with access to your health and fitness data. Our vision for the longer term is one the place preventing a new health risk does not power us to divert funds from different very important well being priorities. We can even work to keep you recent on any breaking news from the nation's capital.

Q: Dimensionality reduction on repeated measures: PCA? MFA? (FactoMineR) I have a repeated measures sample, where each participant was asked to complete a sleep survey over the course of 5 years (baseline though year 4 of follow-up). Each survey item is fairly correlated (e.g. when you go to bed correlates with your duration of sleep) and so we are interested in taking a PCA-like approach and use loadings on each PC to create a time-varying composite score (e.g. a composite score based on these hypothetical "PC" "loadings" for each time point). Then we want to take each participant's time-varying composite measure in a mixed model to predict our longitudinal outcome of interest.
We initially performed PCA on all of the data (all participants and across all time points), but there are a few assumptions here. But, upon further reflection, I started to question if the PCA is able to distinguish between participant- or time-based variability. And so, I am looking for a way to perform a similar dimensionality reduction approach on a repeated measures sample.
Based on some previous stack questions I found, it looks like MFA might be a good option. But all of the examples I see online don't include longitudinal analysis.
1. Does MFA seem like the correct approach?
2. And if so, is the following code correct for library(FactoMineR)
Below is a sample dataset illustrating the structure and code I think I'd run:
library(FactoMineR)
set.seed(123)
ex_dat <- data.frame(ID = rep(1:4, each=4),
                     visit = rep(c("baseline", "y1", "y2", "y3"), 4),
                     var1 = rnorm(16),
                     var2 = rnorm(16)^2,
                     var3 = log(rnorm(16, mean=3, sd=1)))
dat <- ex_dat %>% pivot_wider(id_cols = ID,
                                 names_from = visit,
                                 values_from = c("var1", "var2", "var3")) %>% data.frame()
> dat
  ID var1_baseline    var1_y1    var1_y2     var1_y3 var2_baseline    var2_y1   var2_y2    var2_y3 var3_baseline   var3_y1   var3_y2   var3_y3
1  1    -0.5604756 -0.2301775  1.5587083  0.07050839     0.2478551 3.86758304 0.4919001 0.22353172     1.3597259 1.3553540 1.3406642 1.3052579
2  2     0.1292877  1.7150650  0.4609162 -1.26506123     1.1402475 0.04751306 1.0526851 0.53128242     1.2680506 1.0777591 0.9910409 0.9629945
3  3    -0.6868529 -0.4456620  1.2240818  0.35981383     0.3906741 2.84493432 0.7018871 0.02352331     0.8352078 1.0267878 0.5507789 1.6426707
4  4     0.4007715  0.1106827 -0.5558411  1.78691314     1.2953557 1.57205186 0.1818717 0.08706718     1.4369784 0.6296169 0.9544013 0.9295404

So, for each participant I have multiple measurements of variables 1 through 3.
My hunch, based on the MFA manual would be to run code like this to perform MFA. This, I'm guessing, assumes that all var1, var2, var3 variables are in their own "group".
# MFA Analysis
res_MFA <- MFA(dat[, -1], group=rep(4, 3), type=rep("s", 3))

And lastly... does res_MFA$ind$coord give me the equivalent of a "loading" for each dimension?

Guatemala's foreign minister echoed her country's president at the pro-Israel AIPAC conference in Washington, reiterating her country's support for the embassy move set to happen in May.
Guatemalan Foreign Minister Sandra Jovel defended Tuesday her country's "sovereign" decision to relocate its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"We are doing the right thing in accordance with the foreign policy that Guatemala has had toward Israel over the past 70 years," Jovel said at a press conference.
The controversial move is "a sovereign decision of Guatemalan foreign policy," she said.
President Jimmy Morales told a cheering crowd at the annual meeting of the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) lobby in Washington on Sunday that Guatemala's mission would be moved "two days after the United States moves its embassy" to Jerusalem.
The White House plans to open its new facility in Jerusalem on May 14, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of Israel's creation. Guatemala's embassy would therefore move on May 16.
Trump's decision in December to transfer the US embassy to the disputed city has drawn widespread condemnation, with critics saying it damages hopes for a negotiated Middle East peace.
Morales quickly followed Trump, making Guatemala the first country to do so.
Jovel said that she "respects the opinion" of countries opposing Guatemala's decision.
Last week, a Guatemalan court rejected the request from a local lawyer to halt the move, arguing that it broke international law.
The leader of Canada's Conservative Party has pledged to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital as a part of his election campaign.
Guatemala will relocate its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem this May, two days after the US shifts its mission, the Latin American country's president has announced.

Michael Scott announces his retirement
Michael Scott has announced his decision to retire from his role as Chief Executive of Norfolk and Suffolk NHS FT.
Julie Cave, NSFT Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Finance, will become Interim Chief Executive until further notice, subject to the approval of our Council of Governors next month.
The NSFT Board expressed its thanks to Michael for his commitment and determination to improve the Trust for the benefit of service users, carers, and staff.
NSFT Chair, Gary Page said: "We have recently undergone our third CQC inspection and as we await the inspection report, Michael feels now is the appropriate time for a new leader to take forward the recommendations that will follow in order to continue to improve our Trust.
"It has been a privilege to work with someone of Michael's calibre and integrity, and we wish him a well-deserved retirement.
"As he leaves our Trust, we are in a financially stronger position, with improved service user and carer feedback and improved staff morale. Mental health is now top of the local and national agenda and our STPs are showing strong progress in the mental health work streams.
"We are beginning to develop and roll out important new and enhanced services, including the improved West Norfolk Acute Care pathway, a regional Mother and Baby Unit, and the new Community Perinatal Services, in both Norfolk and Suffolk.
"There are, however, many challenges that lie ahead of our Trust and, as a Board we are determined to ensure that local mental health services continue to improve in what we all recognise is an increasingly demanding environment in the NHS and in social care."
Michael, who turns 60 soon, is shortly to mark 25 years as a CEO in the NHS and 40 years in public service.
On announcing his retirement he said: "The role of Chief Executive is one where there is always important work to lead, challenge to overcome and improvements to drive ahead, and I feel the time is now right for a new leader to take on that mantle.
"I will remain committed to the NHS, and will always be a champion of NSFT and of improving mental health.
"I am proud of what has been achieved by the dedicated staff at NSFT over the past three-and-a-half years. I would like to thank my colleagues across health and social care for their collective hard work, and for the fact that every day they do the very best job they can to support the people who need our services."

Welcome to the first episode of The Recruiting Closet Podcast. In this podcast, we will interview thought leaders in the club sports space to cover and discuss topics relevant to the recruiting process.
Our hope is that everyone involved in the process – from club staff members to student-athletes to parents – will find value in hearing the insights of those who know it best.
In Episode I, we sit down with Patty Costlow from Munciana Volleyball. Patty has over 25 years of experience in the club sports space, and is well-versed as both a coach and administrator on what it takes to be recruited. In this discussion, Patty touches on why communication is so vital to the recruiting process, why relationships are paramount and much more.
Thanks to Patty for making the time!


This smart video car is a great kit to get started with robot. We provide multiple parts, instructions and code needed, so you can assemble them by yourself, with the help of the user guide and thus enjoy the fun of making!
The car control can be realized on a PC with Linux system, or you may also apply it in a Linux virtual machine.
In this kit, MJPG-streamer is applied for image capturing and video transmission in a real-time manner. You may view the video by web browser on any device. Firefox and Google Chrome are recommended.
This is really a great starter Kit. I had a Rasp.PI3 and was looking for some project to use it with. Setup takes a while but I think thats part of the fun. I am not sure you can rely solely on the instruction manual, but the youtube video were very detailed and very useful.
"Excellent how to build video series from Sunfounder available on youtube. They put some good effort into those videos and they really make the whole build and test process much more enjoyable!
Mechanical assembly more difficult than the electrical connections, so be prepared to do both.
A little disappointed that the car uses angular movement of the front axle. I would have preferred ""tank like"" forward vs. reverse control of the motors to control movement direction."
This is my first Pi robot attempt and i have to say it was very enjoyable. The kit came with everything listed. The entire build took about 6 hours. My only recommendations are to go through the build instructions first and fully set up your Pi including WiFi prior to installing it on the car. Also, go to their web site and watch the videos for installation instructions. The book inuded it hard to follow.
I did a lot of research and this kit looked like it was exactly what I wanted. It did not disappoint. It does not contain a raspberry pi (I already had one). It contains all the components needed to use the full resources of the raspberry pi without another computer, such as the arduino. I love the look of the Plexiglas parts. Everything is in the box (except the raspberry pi and the batteries) that is needed to build and run the car. The manual has instructions on downloading the software. The software worked. There were two things not in the instructions that took me a while to get working: 1) the script to start the video (start.sh) needed permissions changed, I used chmod 777 start.sh. The server didn't start up until I went to raspi-config and enabled I2C. One small problem I had to overcome was the really small holes and screws used to mount the webcam tilt and zoom servos. The source code is in Python give the car rudimentary control over the car and it needs to be improved to make the car able to be controlled effectively. But that is why I bought the car, to write the code to make it do what I want.
This is the most fun project I have found for the Raspberry pi. I bought is for a grandson (16 year old boy) and may have to order another for myself. The setup instructions are complex but well documented - probably not suitable for a younger person without help from a Java/Python/Unix savy adult. Friends of mine (other Raspberry Pi hackers, also retired and still fascinated with this fun project) are also getting one for grandchildren and perhaps themselves. Great fun for the price.
This kit has served me well as a base for my radiation topology robot building adventure. Currently in the process of completely rebuilding it with 3D printed structures as the steering is loose, and the access to the hdmi port is impossible without taking screws out, pulling the board off, checking what's going on, then putting it back together to drive around again, etc, etc. I am happy I bought it as it provided a basis to start building off of and prototyping with. Boards and sensors are easily stack-able (although this makes the before mentioned access issue even worse). Control over wifi is seriously laggy, ~1-3 seconds behind, so installed some ultrasonic rangers to prevent collisions. If you're looking for an RC car, definitely not this one, but as something to toy with to learn the code for motion and prototyping something, solid choice.
Stupendo articolo, compreso di pezzi di ricambio anche come viti bulloni ecc..occhio alla programmazione perché ci sono alcuni passaggi non specificati sul manuale come abilitare permessi o usare bene i terminali..chi non è molto pratico di linux potrebbe avere qualche difficoltà ma cmq l'assistenza risponde tempestivamente e cortesemente!
Dank der bei YouTube verfügbaren Anleitungsvideos und der ebenfalls sehr guten Anleitung ist das Smart Video Car innerhalb von zwei bis drei Stunden zusammengebaut. Alles passt einwandfrei zusammen, da die Verarbeitung der Platinen sehr gut ist. Nicht einmal hatte ich den Ikea-Effekt, dass Löcher nicht stimmten oder es nicht genau passte! Erst bei der Installation der notwendigen Software Pakete gab es ein paar Probleme, die aber dank des ebenfalls vorhandenen Forums schnell gelöst werden konnten.
Es wird alles notwendige Werkzeug mitgeliefert, wobei ich zusätlich eine Spitzzange verwendet habe, da einige der Teile sehr klein sind. Von fast allen Teilen werden mehr mitgeliefert als benötigt werden.
Das einzige was ich mir noch wünschen würde, sind weiterführende Tutorials, so wie es sie für die Arduino-Version gibt!

Das Naturschutzgebiet Ladeburger Schäferpfühle befindet sich in der Gemarkung des zur Stadt Bernau bei Berlin gehörenden Ortsteils Ladeburg im Landkreis Barnim. Es hat eine Größe von 26,68 ha. Die Erklärung zum Naturschutzgebiet erfolgte am 19. Dezember 2000. Das Naturschutzgebiet ist Bestandteil des Naturparks Barnim.

Schutzzweck

Die Unterschutzstellung der westlich von Ladeburg gelegenen Schäferpfühle dient dem Ziel, einen nacheiszeitlich entstandenen Flachmoorkomplex als für den Barnim standorttypischen Lebensraum bedrohter Pflanzengesellschaften und seltener Vogel- und Amphibienarten zu erhalten.

Flora

Die Pflanzenwelt der Ladeburger Schäferpfühle wird bestimmt von Feucht- und Frischwiesen, Großseggenriede und Weiden- und Faulbaumgesellschaften. Auf den Wiesen ist das Breitblättrige Knabenkraut (Dactylorhiza majalis) anzutreffen. Auch die Kuckucks-Lichtnelke (Lychnis flos-cuculi) ist zu finden. Um einer Verbuschung der Wiesenlandschaft vorzubeugen, erfolgt seit einigen Jahren eine regelmäßige Beweidung mit Galloway-Rindern.

Fauna

Die im Naturschutzgebiet vorhandenen zahlreichen Kleingewässer sind Lebensraum der auf der Roten Liste Brandenburgs stehenden und vom Aussterben bedrohten Rotbauchunke (Bombina bombina), dem Wappentier des Naturparks Barnim. Weitere Amphibienarten sind heimisch. Zahlreiche bestandsbedrohte Vogelarten und Durchzügler nutzen die Schäferpfühle als Brut- und Rastplatz. Der in Ladeburg brütende Weißstorch (Ciconia ciconia) ist in den Sommermonaten regelmäßig auf den Wiesen bei der Nahrungssuche zu beobachten.

[39 Stat., 582, 607.]
An Act To provide compensation for employees of the United States suffering injuries
while in the performance of their duties, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the United States shall pay compensation as hereinafter specified for the disability or death of an employee resulting from a personal injury sustained while in the performance of his duty, but no compensation shall be paid if the injury or death is caused by the willful misconduct of the employee or by the employee's intention to bring about the injury or death of himself or of another, or if intoxication of the injured employee is the proximate cause of the injury or death.
SEC. 2. That during the first three days of disability the employee shall not be entitled to compensation except as provided in section nine. No compensation shall at any time be paid for such period.
SEC. 3. That if the disability is total the United States shall pay to the disabled employee during such disability a monthly compensation equal to sixtysix and two-thirds per centum of his monthly pay, except as hereinafter provided.
SEC. 4. That if the disability is partial the United States shall pay to the disabled employee during such disability a monthly compensation equal to sixty-six and two-thirds per centum of the difference between his monthly pay and his monthly wage-earning capacity after the beginning of such partial disability. The commission may, from time to time, require a partially disabled employee to make an affidavit as to the wages which he is then receiving. In such affidavit the employee shall include a statement of the value of housing, board, lodging, and other advantages which are received from the employer as a part of his remuneration and which can be estimated in money. If the employee, when required, fails to make such affidavit, he shall not be entitled to any compensation while such failure continues, and the period of such failure shall be deducted from the period during which compensation is payable to him.
SEC. 5. That if a partially disabled employee refuses to seek suitable work or refuses or neglects to work after suitable work is offered to, procured by, or secured for him, he shall not be entitled to any compensatiori,
SEC. 6. That the monthly compensation for total disability shall not be more that $66.67 nor less than $33.33, unless the employee's monthly pay is less than $33.33, in which case his monthly compensation shall be the full amount of his monthly pay. The monthly compensation for partial disability shall not be
more than $66.67. In the case of persons who at the time of the injury were minors or employed in a learner's capacity and who were not physically or mentally defective, the commission shall, on any review after the time when the monthly wage-earning capacity of such persons would probably, but for the injury, have increased, award compensation based on such probable monthly wage-earning capacity. The commission may, on any review after the time when the monthly wage-earning capacity of the disabled employee would probably, irrespective of the injury, have decreased on account of old age, award compensation based on such probable monthly wage-earning capacity.
SEC. 7. That as long as the employee is in receipt of compensation under this Act, or, if he has been paid a lump sum in commutation of installment payments, until the expiration of the period during which such installment payments would have continued, he shall not receive from the United States any salary, pay, or remuneration whatsoever except in return for services actually performed, and except pensions for service in the Army or Navy of the United States.
SEC. 8. That if at the time the disability begins the employee has annual or sick leave to his credit he may, subject to the approval of the head of the department, use such leave until it is exhausted, in which case his compensation shall begin on the fourth day of disability after the annual or sick leave has ceased.
SEC. 9. That immediately after an injury sustained by an employee while in the performance of his duty, whether or not disability has arisen, and for a reasonable time thereafter, the United States shall furnish to such employee reasonable medical, surgical, and hospital services and supplies unless he refuses to accept them. Such services and supplies shall be furnished by United States medical officers and hospitals, but where this is not practicable shall be furnished by private physicians and hospitals designated or approved by the commission and paid for from the employees' compensation fund. If necessary for the securing of proper medical, surgical, and hospital treatment, the employee, in the discretion of the commission, may be furnished transportation at the expense of the employees' compensation fund.
SEC. 10. That if death results from the injury within six years the United States shall pay to the following persons for the following periods a monthly compensation equal to the following percentages of the deceased employee's monthly pay, subject to the modification that no compensation shall be paid where the death takes place more than one year after the cessation of disability resulting from such injury, or, if there has been no disability preceding death, more than one year after the injury:
(A) To the widow, if there is no child, thirty-five per centum. This compensation shall be paid until her death or marriage.
(B) To the widower, if there is no child, thirty-five per centum if wholly dependent for support upon the deceased employee at the time of her death. This compensation shall be paid until his death or marriage.
(C) To the widow or widower, if there is a child, the compensation payable under clause (A) or clause (B) and in addition thereto ten per centum for each child, not to exceed a total of sixty-six and two-thirds per centum for such widow or widower and children. If a child has a guardian other than the surviving widow or widower, the compensation payable on account of such child shall be paid to such guardian. The compensation payable on account of any child shall cease when he dies, marries, or reaches the age of eighteen, or, if over eighteen, and incapable of self-support, becomes capable of self-support.
(D) To the children, if there is no widow or widower, twenty-five per centum for one child and ten per centum additional for each additional child, not to exceed a total of sixty-six and two-thirds per centum, divided among such children share and share alike. The compensation of each child shall be paid until he dies, marries, or reaches the age of eighteen, or, if over eighteen and incapable of self-support, becomes capable of self-support. The compensation of a child under legal age shall be paid to its guardian.
(E) To the parents, if one is wholly dependent for support upon the deceased employee at the time of his death and the other is not dependent to any extent, twenty-five per centum; if both are wholly dependent, twenty per centum to each; if one is or both are partly dependent, a proportionate amount in the discretion of the commission.
The above percentages shall be paid if there is no widow, widower, or child. If there is a widow, widower, or child, there shall be paid so much of the above percentages as, when added to the total percentages payable to the widow,
widower, and children, will not exceed a total of sixty-six and two-thirds per centum.
(F) To the brothers, sisters, grandparents, and grandchildren, if one is wholly dependent upon the deceased employee for support at the time of his death, twenty per centum to such dependent; if more than one are wholly dependent, thirty per centum, divided among such dependents share and share alike; if there is no one of them wholly dependent, but one or more partly dependent, ten per centum divided among such dependents share and share alike.
The above percentages shall be paid if there is no widow, widower, child, or dependent parent. If there is a widow, widower, child, or dependent parent, there shall be paid so much of the above percentages as, when added to the total percentage payable to the widow, widower, children, and dependent parents, will not exceed a total of sixty-six and two-thirds per centum.
(G) The compensation of each beneficiary under clauses (E) and (F) shall be paid for a period of eight years from the time of the death, unless before that time he, if a parent or grandparent, dies, marries, or ceases to be dependent, or, if a brother, sister, or grandchild, dies, marries, or reaches the age of eighteen, or, if over eighteen and incapable of self-support, becomes capable of self-support. The compensation of a brother, sister, or grandchild under legal age shall be paid to his or her guardian.
(H) As used in this section, the term " child" includes stepchildren, adopted children, and posthumous children, but does not include married children. The terms "brother" and "sister" include stepbrothers and stepsisters, half brothers and half sisters, and brothers and sisters by adoption, but do not include married brothers or married sisters. All of the above terms and the term " grandchild " include only persons who at the time of the death of the deceased employee are under eighteen years of age or over that age and incapable of selfsupport. The term "parent" includes ster-parents and parents by adoption. The term " widow" includes only the decedent's wife living with or dependent for support upon him at the time of his death. The term " widower" includes only the decedent's husband dependent for support upon her at the time of her death. The terms " adopted " and " adoption" as used in this clause include only legal adoption prior to the time of the injury.
(I) Upon the cessation of compensation under this section to or on account of any person, the compensation of the remaining persons entitled to compensation for the unexpired part of the period during which their compensation is payable shall be that which such persons would have received if they had been the only persons entitled to compensation at the time of the decedent's death.
(J) In case there are two or more classes of persons entitled to compensation under this section and the apportionment of such compensation, above provided, would result in injustice, the commission may, in its discretion, modify the apportionment to meet the requirements of the case.
(K) In computing compensation under this section, the monthly pay shall be considered not to be more than $100 nor less than $50, but the total monthly compensation shall not exceed the monthly pay computed as provided in section twelve.
(L) If any person entitled to compensation under this section, whose compensation by the terms of this section ceases upon his marriage, accepts any payments of compensation after his marriage he shall be punished by a fine of not more than $2,000 or by imprisonment for not more than one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
SEC. 11. That if death results from the injury within six years the United States shall pay to the personal representative of the deceased employee burial expenses not to exceed $100, in the discretion of the commission. In the case of an employee whose home is within the United States, if his death occurs away from his home office or outside of the United States, and if so desired by his relatives, the body shall, in the discretion of the commission, be embalmed and transported in a hermetically sealed casket to the home of the employee. Such burial expenses shall not be paid and such transportation shall not be furnished where the death takes place more than one year after the cessation of disability resulting from such injury, or, if there has been no disability preceding death, more than one year after the injury.
SEC. 12. That in computing the monthly pay the usual practice of the service in which the employee was employed shall be followed. Subsistence and the
73828°—17- -9
value of quarters furnished an employee shall be included as part of the pay, but overtime pay shall not be taken into account.
SEC. 13. That in the determination of the employee's monthly wage-earning capacity after the beginning of partial disability, the value of housing, board, lodging, and other advantages which are received from his employer as a part of his remuneration and which can be estimated in money shall be taken into account.
SEC. 14. That in cases of death or of permanent total or permanent partial disability, if the monthly payment to the beneficiary is less than $5 a month, or if the beneficiary is or is about to become a nonresident of the United States, or if the commission determines that it is for the best interests of the beneficiary, the liability of the United States for compensation to such beneficiary may be discharged by the payment of a lump sum equal to the present value of all future payments of compensation computed at four per centum true discount compounded annually. The probability of the beneficiary's death before the expiration of the period during which he is entitled to compensation shall be determined according to the American Experience Table of Mortality; but in case of compensation to the widow or widower of the deceased employee, such lump sum shall not exceed sixty months' compensation. The probability of the happening of any other contingency affecting the amount or duration of the compensation shall be disregarded.
SEC. 15. That every employee injured in the performance of his duty, or some one on his behalf, shall, within forty-eight hours after the injury, give written notice thereof to the immediate superior of the employee. Such notice shall be given by delivering it personally or by depositing it properly stamped and addressed in the mail.
SEC. 16. That the notice shall state the name and address of the employee, the year, month, day, and hour when and the particular locality where the injury occurred, and the cause and nature of the injury, and shall be signed by and contain the address of the person giving the notice.
SEC. 17. That unless notice is given within the time specified or unless the immediate superior has actual knowledge of the injury, no compensation shall be allowed, but for any reasonable cause shown, the commission may allow compensation if the notice is filed within one year after the injury.
Sec. 18. That no compensation under this Act shall be allowed to any person, except as provided in section thirty-eight, unless he or some one on his behalf shall, within the time specified in section twenty, make a written claim therefor. Such claim shall be made by delivering it at the office of the commission or to any commissioner or to any person whom the commission may by regulation designate, or by depositing it in the mail properly stamped and addressed to the commission or to any person whom the commission may by regulation designate.
SEC. 19. That every claim shall be made on forms to be furnished by the commission and shall contain all the information required by the commission. Each claim shall be sworn to by the person entitled to compensation or by the person acting on his behalf, and, except in case of death, shall be accompanied by a certificate of the employee's physician stating the nature of the injury and the nature and probable extent of the disability. For any reasonable cause shown the commission may waive the provisions of this section.
SEC. 20. That all original claims for compensation for disability shall be made within sixty days after the injury. All original claims for compensation for death shall be made within one year after the death. For any reasonable cause shown the commission may allow original claims for compensation for disability to be made at any time within one year.
SEC. 21. That after the injury the employee shall, as frequently and at such times and places as may be reasonably required, submit himself to examination by a medical officer of the United States or by a duly qualified physician desig. nated or approved by the commission. The employee may have a duly qualified physician designated and paid by him present to participate in such examination. For all examinations after the first the employee shall, in the discretion of the commission, be paid his reasonable traveling and other expenses and loss of wages incurred in order to submit to such examination. If the employee refuses to submit himself for or in any way obstructs any examination, his right to claim compensation under this Act shall be suspended until such refusal or obstruction ceases. No compensation shall be payable while such refusal or obstruction continues, and the period of such refusal or obstruction shall be deducted from the period for which compensation is payable to him.

Thread: Final Fantasy VII: Gaia's Core
Koh.
AKA: Tensei, Akuma
"Are you nervous?" This voice aroused his senses, and upon raising his eyes from the ground they were met with the sight of one of the newer recruits - Gabriel, the Viera. Smirking to her, he looked cracked his neck in a confident fashion. "Unfortunately, there's not alot for me to be nervous or scared about anymore." Thinking about grabbing another cig from his pocket and lighting it up out of boredom, he glanced up to actually see Shio, sneaking off somewhere in the distance. Curiosity prodded at him.
Looking over at Gabriel, he then questioned her, though sort of rhetorically. "What about you? Nervous about your first mission?" But just as he finished, he heard movement from inside the Inn that they both leaned against innocently. Gritting his teeth, he casually let the hand that was about to glide into his pocket glide onto the hilt of the Eviscerator on his back. But thankfully, what emerged from the Inn was far less harmless than he imagined. Izual - toying with his phone, it seemed.
Watching his dawn his sunglasses as the doors closed behind him, Duriel smiled toward him, letting his grip loose of the sword. "Sorry, overslept a bit… So you guys good to go?" Chuckling a bit, Duriel felt his blood begin to pump erratically beneath the skin. Talking back to him proudly, Duriel let a wicked grin loose. "Hell yeah I'm ready! Infact, I have a good idea where we might be headed..." Unclipping the holster for his pistol just in case, Duriel looked toward the wooded area where Shio had treaded.
"Keep up if you can," he said, his classic cocky nature showing. "I'm dying to spill some blood here." And with that said, Duriel gave no time to answer. He set off running, right arm moving up to hold the familiar position it had prior to Izual's arrival - as if he could strike down God himself. He wasted no time, following Shio's apparent trail. His own hunting instincts, and that tracking device on his PDA, helped him find right where Shio had gone. His grin slowly drifting into a more serious expression, Duriel carried on.
Eventually, he came across a pair of iron gates. The way that they were torn apart from each other, he could tell this was Slader's handy-work. He knew he was close now, and he could feel Izual and Gabriel close behind. Feeling as if he was fulfilling his previous "natural born leader," boast at MOSES basic training, he slinked through the gates as quietly as possible. And before him stood the putrid giant itself - the Bog Water mako reactor. Not giving himself time take in the scenery, he hurried along.
Okay. According to his readings, both Shio and Slader were inside of this place somewhere. He figured Slader was having the same issue as he - sneaking around with a giant sword and such. But damn, did he ever hope he was going to get the first hit in on that Juggernaut SOLDIER they had been told about! That smile coming back a bit then, he could feel his skin, sticky from the shear humidity that accompanied the town. The radar detected Shio up ahead as Duriel moved in the shadows.
And then, it came into view - the beast of an adversary, the Juggernaut. If a bead of sweat could roll down his head in that 70% humidity, it would have. He was expecting a much smaller tough guy, but it was no matter. But eh, what did he have to lose? After all, in battle, stealth and perfect precision were not part of his plan. Clearly seeing Shio as Duriel strode in, he stopped behind him, smiling. As it came to be in his mind, the only thing he could think was, "Yeah, fuck stealth."
Crouching then as he approached Shio from behind, Duriel lept in one swift motion, letting out a ferocious battle cry as he did so, clearing the top of his team mate's head. Swinging the Eviscerator bravely, he tried his very hardest to bring the sword right down on the monster of a man's head. Unfortunately, this was not to happen as planned, as Duriel's blade was blocked by the SOLDIER crossing his now drawn blades in midair. The pushing contest went on for several seconds, but eventually Duriel decided to repel backward of his own accord.
Hoisting it into a battle stance, he faced the Juggernaut who finally brought his blades down, his face masked from the nose up. Huffing a bit, he dared not turn his back, but he did address him. "Hey Shio. Haven't seen you all day!" And with the last syllable spoken loudly, Duriel rushed in again for a second assault, this time as the blade's clashed, Duriel's producing some mild fireworks due to it's Fire materia. "Give up, you big oaf!" The blades grinded back and forth, neither of them giving an inch.

Q: Help with a (simple?) proof I have the following problem:

I want to prove under what conditions the value of a cell (e.g. 1 or a in the graphics) is the column mean (e.g. 1.5) plus row mean (2) minus the grand mean (2.5) like shown in the graphics above. This is true for some combination of values, but not for other combinations. For example replacing 1 with 3 or 4 by 5 respectively in the first table makes this assumption false.
So I'm trying to figure out under what conditions/combinations of numbers this is true.
My first idea was to formulate the equation under the second table, but I don't know how to proceed with the proof :(
Can someone help me out here?

A: You can express $b,c,d$ in terms of $a$ and constant.
$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline a & a+x \\ \hline a+y & a+z \\ \hline  \end{array}$
The equation is
$\frac{a+(a+x)}{2}+\frac{a+(a+y)}{2}-\frac{a+(a+x)+(a+y)+(a+z)}{4}=a$
If you simplify the equation, you will find a condition. If this condition is satisfied, then your conjucture is true.

Airport Security Design: new challenges in the COVID era by Jonathan Joohyung Lee
Aviation security measures have been developing since the late 1960s. At that time, many aircraft hijackings were occurring in the US, as well as in other countries; most international security legislation that aimed to prevent this kind of security incident was implemented after 1974 when ICAO's Annex 17 (to the Chicago Convention) was first issued. In those days, security measures only focused on hijackings and the measures were somewhat successful in reducing the number of such seizures. Throughout the 1980s our focus shifted to preventing a different threat: aircraft bombings. The Air India bombing and the subsequent downing of Pan Am 103 in December 1988 led to dramatic changes in aviation security. One of these requirements was the consideration of security design elements. With the eighth amendment to Annex 17 in 1992, ICAO established a new standard on airport security design measures. The current version (17th amendment) states:
"3.2.6 Each Contracting State shall ensure that the architectural and infrastructure-related requirements necessary for the optimum implementation of civil aviation security measures are integrated into the design and construction of new facilities and alterations to existing facilities at airports."
"…integration of security requirements at the point of conceptualisation can save considerable effort and resources in construction and maintenance…"
This internationally mandated requirement for airport security design was initially introduced by ICAO to enhance aviation security in order to prevent any possible acts of unlawful interference, such as that of Pan Am 103. Most aviation security experts have realised the importance of the integration of security design in the construction and renovation of airport facilities, including passenger terminals. The initial integration of security requirements at the point of conceptualisation can save considerable effort and resources in construction and maintenance.
Following the events of 11 September 2001, security design became more important than ever before and many countries implemented more stringent security measures at civil aviation facilities in order to address the weaknesses highlighted by the 9/11 attacks. In 2006, following a bomb plot in the UK, further dramatic changes were made to airport screening procedures; namely the introduction of restrictions on liquids, aerosols and gels of more than 100ml per container.
Until last year, most major airports had spent considerable effort focusing purely on fighting acts of unlawful interference against civil aviation. In order to prevent these kinds of unlawful acts, we conducted security risk assessments before applying security features based on international threat, national security elements and an analysis of the local security environment. However, in 2020, we now have to consider one more vital new element: fighting disease in the airport security process. Some security experts have suggested that this is not a security issue and that we do not therefore need to implement further measures. I do not agree.
I appreciate that being able to effectively and efficiently prevent aviation terrorism is aviation security's top priority. I also recognise that, so far, all civil aviation security has been designed with this goal in mind. However, we, as AVSEC professionals, also have to think about the health of security personnel in the airport design process. Failure to do so could severely impact upon the performance of airport security screeners, and therefore on the security of our facilities, flights, staff and passengers. ICAO highlights the importance of human factors in civil aviation security. ICAO's Annex 17 states that:
"Each Contracting State should ensure that the development of new security equipment takes into consideration Human Factors principles."
This recommendation could be interpreted to mean that human factors should be considered when implementing a security process. I suggest that these factors should be reflected in the design process prior to implementation.
"…Incheon is testing UVC technology to automatically clean baggage trays in its new smart security lanes…"
Currently, we are facing an unprecedented new challenge, one which is not directly related to security but to the social environment in which our security processes operate. In order to overcome this epidemic, many governments and international security related organisations including ICAO, Airport Council International (ACI) and International Air Transport Association (IATA) have been developing new security requirements and guidelines to prevent the transmission of infection during the screening process.
ICAO has released ICAO Guidelines for Aviation Security Contingency Measures During the COVID-19 Pandemic. This document contains significant recommendations, which may require changes to security facilities.
Similarly, ACI has also developed guidelines to counter COVID-19. It has also established an international accreditation regime – the ACI Airport Health Accreditation Programme – through which ACI certifies each airport that demonstrates commitment to protecting civil aviation from the disease. The programme is open to all ACI member airports of all sizes in all regions and involves checks of major passenger processing elements including: terminal access, check-in areas, security screening, boarding gates, lounges, retail, food and beverages, gate equipment such as boarding bridges, escalators and elevators, border control areas and facilities in collaboration with authorities, baggage claim area and arrivals exits. The programme recognises that passenger security is one of the most important areas to be addressed in terms of preventing infection as it involves more contact with passengers than any other procedure. This year, Incheon International Airport was assessed and endorsed by ACI via its Airport Health Accreditation Programme.
IATA has also responded to the pandemic via its aviation security intelligence portal, which includes real-time information related to bio safety, operations status and other valuable information designed to help each member airline during the COVID-19 crisis.
Also, many governments, including the Korean government, and governmental organisations, such as the US's Transportation Security Administration (TSA), provide specific procedures to ensure safe working environments for airport and airline security staff members. TSA have implemented very thorough measures to protect personnel checking the authentication of travel documents before screening checkpoints, as well as security officers as they screen passengers and carry-on baggage, conduct physical search and ETD screening.
South Korea is also developing and implementing certain measures and design changes to meet the international requirements. For example, Incheon is testing UVC technology to automatically clean baggage trays in its new smart security lanes.
All these elements are related to changing or renovating the existing security facilities, especially passenger screening facilities, staff screening points and perimeter access control points where personal contact occurs. All of these areas need new security design concepts, both in terms of initial airport construction and renovation.
Worldwide air traffic volume may not recover until 2023 or 2024. During this period, it is vital that every airport and airline follows industry guidelines and implements measures both to overcome current difficulties and to prepare for how the situation may evolve. It is also vital that we set up an international AVSEC design assistance programme to assist airports of developing countries – or indeed any airport needing assistance – in implementing COVID-19 measures at security checkpoints.
"A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it."
This situation reminds me of a quote by Albert Einstein: "A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it." Now is the time to think about avoiding future situations, rather than only solving present issues on a case-by-case basis.
Jonathan Joohyung Lee is deputy security director, Incheon International Airport, Republic of Korea. He has been working in the aviation security field for more than 25 years, is a member of ACI RASC, and is an ICAO USAP-CMA auditor and instructor. He has a PhD in Aviation Security.

March on Parliament deliberately created confusion
Large and small scale and Māori foresters say the 50 Shades of Green march on parliament on Thursday 14 November highlights deliberately created confusion about the true nature and recent scope of forestry expansion.
Joint media statement with NZFFA and Lake Taupo Forest Trust
Farm Forestry Association President Hamish Levack says 50 Shades of Green demands on the government to restrict forest planting would not be supported by many farmers he knows.
"There's at least ten thousand owners of farm woodlots in New Zealand. If they want to retire some more of their farms to earn some more income by expanding their woodlots then that should be their right."
"And if they want to plant out the whole farm that should be their right as well, and shouldn't be stopped by some misinformed fringes of the farming community."
He cites a recent Beef + Lamb commission report on the Wairoa District, which concluded that a typical sheep and beef farm was unable to complete with forestry returns over a 60-year period.
Hamish Levack says the 50 Shades of Green petition demanding the government prevent farmers planting trees to offset carbon emissions sounds to him like climate change denial.
"Farmers who contribute towards reducing New Zealand's net greenhouse gas emissions should be congratulated and not banned."
"I also can't understand what they have against the government's Billion Trees programme either. It's a fund which is only available to farmers and only for part of a farm. I would think they would be in favour of this."
Hamish Levack says it's also ironic that some of the leaders of 50 Shades of Green identify with the wool industry, yet then criticise logs because timber can't be eaten.
"Timber product exports are worth ten times the total value of the wool industry for New Zealand. Our ratio of further-processed product exports is two and a half times that achieved by the wool industry."
"It is true that neither timber nor wool can be eaten, but at least there is a good market for timber. And that includes for making paper products, which are increasingly substituting for non-biodegradable plastics."
John Bishara is Chair of the Ngāti Tuwharetoa Māori Trust Board, CEO of the Lake Taupō Forest Trust, and adviser to the Lake Rotoaira Forest Trust, and is very familiar with the impacts of regulation on land use flexibility.
Ngāti Tūwharetoa own substantial areas of land in the Lake Taupō catchment - much of this is managed for farming, forestry, or a combination of the two, while significant areas also remain as undeveloped indigenous forest.
"When looked at as a whole, the utilisation of Ngāti Tūwharetoa land is proven to be making a far greater contribution to the protection of the Lake Taupō environment than that of other landowners in the catchment. This reflects our deeply held desire, and responsibility as kaitiaki of the rohe, to protect the taonga of the lake itself, and the surrounding waters and lands" John Bishara says.
"The tribe has long held that decisions on how we utilise our lands are matters for our many thousands of landowners. While we adhere to the raft of national, regional and district rules which can and do influence how we operate, it must be remembered that we are the perpetual owners of these lands, and we would not welcome further regulatory imposition restricting our land use flexibility."
Forest Owners Association President Peter Weir is also saying landowners need the options to meet market demands and environmental standards at the same time.
"For forestry that means we are pulling back from planting the most erosion risk terrain, and concentrating on farmland which has been economically marginal for livestock for a long time, but is less expensive to harvest trees on."
"That means there is concentrated planting at the moment by landowners in some eastern and southern regions of the North Island. This land will become even more marginal for livestock as climate change increases the frequency of summer droughts."
"That certainly does not mean the wholesale takeover of farmland, as some media have tried to depict, like The Listener. It's just been claiming billions of dollars will flow into New Zealand farms from overseas to convert them into carbon farming."
"The Listener is misinformed and misinforming. The Overseas Investment Office requires investors to harvest. It will not give approval to any carbon farming, let alone billions of dollars' worth."
"We also need to remember the plantation forest estate has actually shrunk since 2000. It'll take years at the current planting rate to get to the area of plantation forestry we were at two decades ago."

How do governments work and what do they do?
What should governments do? Should they be bigger or smaller? Are they doing the right sort of things? Should there be any government at all?
The Political Science program has a diverse faculty, who disagree on the answers to these questions. Political Science students are invited to join in the debates among the faculty about the way government works, and whether we ought to aim at increasing or decreasing its role in our lives.

Welcome to my Halloween appreciation blog.
Halloween is my favorite day of the year and holds very fond memories.
I ♥ the sight and smell of Fall.
I ♥ the color of the outdoors during Fall.
I ♥ the commercial colors as well: black and orange (hence my name Black Orange).
I ♥ dark, moody, depressing, melodic, haunting, and Halloween music.
I ♥ to scare and to get scared.
I ♥ people that ♥ Halloween. That understand that there is something primal about fear and thrills and death and the nostalgia of it. That there is just that extra indescribable little dash of magic that only Halloween holds.
Be sure to let me know what you ♥ about Halloween.
