In mathematics, specifically in group theory, an elementary abelian group is an abelian group in which all elements other than the identity have the same order. This common order must be prime number, and the elementary abelian groups in which the common order is p are a particular kind of p-group.[1][2] A group for which p = 2 (that is, an elementary abelian 2-group) is sometimes called a Boolean group.[3]
Every elementary abelian p-group is a vector space over the prime field with p elements, and conversely every such vector space is an elementary abelian group. By the classification of finitely generated abelian groups, or by the fact that every vector space has a basis, every finite elementary abelian group must be of the form (Z/pZ)n for n a non-negative integer (sometimes called the group's rank). Here, Z/pZ denotes the cyclic group of order p (or equivalently the integers mod p), and the superscript notation means the n-fold direct product of groups.[2]
In general, a (possibly infinite) elementary abelian p-group is a direct sum of cyclic groups of order p.[4] (Note that in the finite case the direct product and direct sum coincide, but this is not so in the infinite case.)
In the rest of this article, all groups are assumed finite.

Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline.
In abstract algebra, group theory studies the algebraic structures known as groups. The concept of a group is central to abstract algebra: other well-known algebraic structures, such as rings, fields, and vector spaces, can all be seen as groups endowed with additional operations and axioms. Groups recur throughout mathematics, and the methods of group theory have influenced many parts of algebra. Linear algebraic groups and Lie groups are two branches of group theory that have experienced advances and have become subject areas in their own right.
In mathematics, an abelian group, also called a commutative group, is a group in which the result of applying the group operation to two group elements does not depend on the order in which they are written. That is, the group operation is commutative. With addition as an operation, the integers and the real numbers form abelian groups, and the concept of an abelian group may be viewed as a generalization of these examples. Abelian groups are named after early 19th century mathematician Niels Henrik Abel.
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself. However, 4 is composite because it is a product (2 × 2) in which both numbers are smaller than 4. Primes are central in number theory because of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: every natural number greater than 1 is either a prime itself or can be factorized as a product of primes that is unique up to their order.
In mathematics, specifically group theory, given a prime number p, a p-group is a group in which the order of every element is a power of p. That is, for each element g of a p-group G, there exists a nonnegative integer n such that the product of pn copies of g, and not fewer, is equal to the identity element. The orders of different elements may be different powers of p.
Vector space
In mathematics and physics, a vector space is a set whose elements, often called vectors, may be added together and multiplied ("scaled") by numbers called scalars. Scalars are often real numbers, but can be complex numbers or, more generally, elements of any field. The operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication must satisfy certain requirements, called vector axioms. The terms real vector space and complex vector space are often used to specify the nature of the scalars: real coordinate space or complex coordinate space.
Cyclic group
In group theory, a branch of abstract algebra in pure mathematics, a cyclic group or monogenous group is a group, denoted Cn, that is generated by a single element. That is, it is a set of invertible elements with a single associative binary operation, and it contains an element g such that every other element of the group may be obtained by repeatedly applying the group operation to g or its inverse. Each element can be written as an integer power of g in multiplicative notation, or as an integer multiple of g in additive notation. This element g is called a generator of the group.
Modular arithmetic
In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus. The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in his book Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, published in 1801.
Direct product of groups
In mathematics, specifically in group theory, the direct product is an operation that takes two groups G and H and constructs a new group, usually denoted G × H. This operation is the group-theoretic analogue of the Cartesian product of sets and is one of several important notions of direct product in mathematics.
Finite group
In abstract algebra, a finite group is a group whose underlying set is finite. Finite groups often arise when considering symmetry of mathematical or physical objects, when those objects admit just a finite number of structure-preserving transformations. Important examples of finite groups include cyclic groups and permutation groups.
The elementary abelian group (Z/2Z)2 has four elements: {(0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1)} . Addition is performed componentwise, taking the result modulo 2. For instance, (1,0) + (1,1) = (0,1). This is in fact the Klein four-group.
In the group generated by the symmetric difference on a (not necessarily finite) set, every element has order 2. Any such group is necessarily abelian because, since every element is its own inverse, xy = (xy)−1 = y−1x−1 = yx. Such a group (also called a Boolean group), generalizes the Klein four-group example to an arbitrary number of components.
(Z/pZ)n is generated by n elements, and n is the least possible number of generators. In particular, the set {e1, ..., en} , where ei has a 1 in the ith component and 0 elsewhere, is a minimal generating set.
Every elementary abelian group has a fairly simple finite presentation.
( Z / p Z ) n ≅ ⟨ e 1 , … , e n ∣ e i p = 1 , e i e j = e j e i ⟩ {\displaystyle (\mathbb {Z} /p\mathbb {Z} )^{n}\cong \langle e_{1},\ldots ,e_{n}\mid e_{i}^{p}=1,\ e_{i}e_{j}=e_{j}e_{i}\rangle }
Suppose V ≅ {\displaystyle \cong } (Z/pZ)n is an elementary abelian group. Since Z/pZ ≅ {\displaystyle \cong } Fp, the finite field of p elements, we have V = (Z/pZ)n ≅ {\displaystyle \cong } Fpn, hence V can be considered as an n-dimensional vector space over the field Fp. Note that an elementary abelian group does not in general have a distinguished basis: choice of isomorphism V → ≅ {\displaystyle {\overset {\cong }{\to }}} (Z/pZ)n corresponds to a choice of basis.
To the observant reader, it may appear that Fpn has more structure than the group V, in particular that it has scalar multiplication in addition to (vector/group) addition. However, V as an abelian group has a unique Z-module structure where the action of Z corresponds to repeated addition, and this Z-module structure is consistent with the Fp scalar multiplication. That is, c·g = g + g + ... + g (c times) where c in Fp (considered as an integer with 0 ≤ c p) gives V a natural Fp-module structure.
As a vector space V has a basis {e1, ..., en} as described in the examples, if we take {v1, ..., vn} to be any n elements of V, then by linear algebra we have that the mapping T(ei) = vi extends uniquely to a linear transformation of V. Each such T can be considered as a group homomorphism from V to V (an endomorphism) and likewise any endomorphism of V can be considered as a linear transformation of V as a vector space.
If we restrict our attention to automorphisms of V we have Aut(V) = { T : V → V | ker T = 0 } = GLn(Fp), the general linear group of n × n invertible matrices on Fp.
The automorphism group GL(V) = GLn(Fp) acts transitively on V \ {0} (as is true for any vector space). This in fact characterizes elementary abelian groups among all finite groups: if G is a finite group with identity e such that Aut(G) acts transitively on G \ {e}, then G is elementary abelian. (Proof: if Aut(G) acts transitively on G \ {e}, then all nonidentity elements of G have the same (necessarily prime) order. Then G is a p-group. It follows that G has a nontrivial center, which is necessarily invariant under all automorphisms, and thus equals all of G.)

Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as:
Endomorphism
In mathematics, an endomorphism is a morphism from a mathematical object to itself. An endomorphism that is also an isomorphism is an automorphism. For example, an endomorphism of a vector space V is a linear map f: V → V, and an endomorphism of a group G is a group homomorphism f: G → G. In general, we can talk about endomorphisms in any category. In the category of sets, endomorphisms are functions from a set S to itself.
Automorphism
In mathematics, an automorphism is an isomorphism from a mathematical object to itself. It is, in some sense, a symmetry of the object, and a way of mapping the object to itself while preserving all of its structure. The set of all automorphisms of an object forms a group, called the automorphism group. It is, loosely speaking, the symmetry group of the object.
General linear group
In mathematics, the general linear group of degree n is the set of n×n invertible matrices, together with the operation of ordinary matrix multiplication. This forms a group, because the product of two invertible matrices is again invertible, and the inverse of an invertible matrix is invertible, with identity matrix as the identity element of the group. The group is so named because the columns of an invertible matrix are linearly independent, hence the vectors/points they define are in general linear position, and matrices in the general linear group take points in general linear position to points in general linear position.
It can also be of interest to go beyond prime order components to prime-power order. Consider an elementary abelian group G to be of type (p,p,...,p) for some prime p. A homocyclic group[5] (of rank n) is an abelian group of type (m,m,...,m) i.e. the direct product of n isomorphic cyclic groups of order m, of which groups of type (pk,pk,...,pk) are a special case.
The extra special groups are extensions of elementary abelian groups by a cyclic group of order p, and are analogous to the Heisenberg group.

At last, country music's self styled bad boy Eric Church is finally able to do what he wants. After early genre success, his last album - 2011's award winning, platinum selling Chief - burst into the mainstream and propelled Church's baseball cap and aviators look onto the front of US industry bible Billboard magazine. With singles like 'Smoke A Little Smoke' and 'Drink In My Hand' you're in no doubt how Church is positioning himself - a weed smoking, hard drinking good ol' country boy. But what he's really got going for him though, is not just an ability to speak to the common man, but the chops to write anthemic tunes like 'Springsteen' and 'Creepin''.
The Outsiders wants to be different though, but it's only partly successful in that aim. Reaction in his homeland has been mixed, yet the first week sales will have allayed any record company jitters. Lead single and title track is as much of an Eric Church anthem as you'd find on his previous album, it just goes a little AC/DC in the closing thirty seconds. 'Devil, Devil (Prelude: Princess Of Darkness)' is a strange eight minute, mainly spoken word piece, while at the other end of the scale 'A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young' is a middling ballad about a fast living daredevil who finds love. And that's the issue: the album still has one cowboy boot planted firmly on his old sound, the other risks alienating ordinary fans who gave him the number one album.
Despite the usual country music themes of broken relationships throughout, twists do arrive: the dark, almost 80s feel of 'Roller Coaster Ride'; 'Cold One' ("She had her feet up on the cooler as she put our love on ice / She grabbed a beer, said "I'm out of here," and walked out of my life") bends expectations with a stuttering, electrified chorus and mad bluegrass fiddle fest at the close. Interesting as these tracks are, the other half of the album is more traditional with the fun 'Broke Record' and uplifting 'Give Me Back My Hometown' making up for some other mid-album filler.
There's still evidence of Church's way with a song on The Outsiders but in an effort to promote his view of himself as a little different from the mainstream, he's lost a little of what got him to the top in the first place. True, he's most successful here with the leftfield-leaning tracks - and you feel Church himself would be happy with that - yet whether it will keep his legions of fans onside remains to be seen.


Forums » Forum Archives » MetaFuze Forum » arriRAW plug in for metafuze?
Latest post Mon, Mar 12 2012 10:55 PM by Job ter Burg. 5 replies.
somewhere in these forums i read that it exists, and thus i can use metafuze to get dnxHD proxies of arriRAW into my mc5.
there was a dead link to arri's site at the same spot, but a search on arri site or via google does not bring it up.
or - is it baked in on the current metafuze 2.5?
have we found downloadable sample clips of arriRaw footage somewhere on the web so that i could test the workflow before the d-day?
Re: arriRAW plug in for metafuze?
I haven't used MF with ArriRAW, but I'm fairly certain you don't need a plugin for it.
You need the Arri plug in for MetaFuze which used to be available in the partners section of Arri's website. Maybe try to contact them directly.
thanks for the heads-up. will try that.
still - wouldn't it be in everyone's interest that this be either included in metafuze or made available at avid's downloads section?
and just to double-check - once i got the plug-in i'll get correct LUT for log-c > dnxHD 709 transcoding?
You should be able to generate the appropriate LUT from Arri's website.
But how to apply it in MF?!

Natixis (France) Expands into Saudi Arabia
By Yuliya DietzIn B2B & B2C Services News, International Franchise NewsPosted January 8, 2021
French corporate and investment banking company Natixis has expanded its operations into Saudi Arabia in order to mediate between international investors and regional borrowers who want to focus on more sustainable and environmentally friendly ways of doing business.
While the company has had a presence in the Middle East for over 20 years, it was awarded a license to operate in the Kingdom by the Capital Market Authority in May this year.
Barbara Riccardi, the company's regional head in the Middle East, said it was an obvious move as the Kingdom is "one of the largest contributors" to the region's economy.
Ammar Bukhamsin, the company's newly appointed CEO for Saudi Arabia, said its expansion aims "to further grow this franchise and bring our expertise and our market-leading solutions closer to our clients and support the needs of borrowers and Islamic investors."
Headquartered in Paris, where 196 countries signed a ground-breaking climate change agreement in 2015, Natixis has a strong focus on green, sustainable projects and financing.
Riccardi said: "We're all in toward supporting the country's development into a more green, sustainable future, which is particularly key in Saudi's Vision 2030."
She added that the Kingdom is already making progress as part of its drive to diversify its economy away from a reliance on hydrocarbons. Bukhamsin said: "We're very keen to bring our global and market expertise, which I think are directly linked to all these diversification ambitions that the country has."
He took up his post at Natixis in Saudi Arabia in November, having worked in the finance sector for more than 16 years. His career started in 2004 at Citi, before moving to UBS in London in 2010 and Goldman Sachs in Dubai in 2013.
In 2015 Bukhamsin joined Natixis, and was appointed head of global markets sales for the Middle East in 2019.

Q: Eigen Sparse matrix. Sorting non-zero elements with respect to rows I have a sparse matrix and I need to store the non-zero elements and respective row,column in ascending order with respect to rows
following this https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/group__TutorialSparse.html
I tried
// mat =
// 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0
// 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0
// 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
// 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0
// 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0

// create and fill the sparse matrix
SparseMatrix<double> mat(5,5);
mat.insert(0,0) = 1.0;
mat.insert(0,2) = 1.0;
mat.insert(1,0) = 1.0;
mat.insert(1,4) = 1.0;
mat.insert(2,1) = 1.0;
mat.insert(3,2) = 1.0;
mat.insert(3,4) = 1.0;
mat.insert(4,0) = 1.0;
mat.insert(4,3) = 1.0;

//matrix where to store the row,col,value
Eigen::MatrixXd mat_map(mat.nonZeros(),3);

int index_mat;
index_mat=-1;

for (int k=0; k<mat.outerSize(); ++k)
  for (SparseMatrix<double>::InnerIterator it(mat,k); it; ++it)
   {
     index_mat++;
     mat_map(index_mat,0) = it.row();   // row index
     mat_map(index_mat,1) = it.col();   // col index
     mat_map(index_mat,2) = it.value();
   }

cout << mat_map << endl;

what I get is the following
0 0 1.0
1 0 1.0
4 0 1.0
2 1 1.0
0 2 1.0
3 2 1.0
4 3 1.0
1 4 1.0
3 4 1.0

while what I want is
0 0 1.0
0 2 1.0
1 0 1.0
1 4 1.0
2 1 1.0
3 2 1.0
3 4 1.0
4 0 1.0
4 3 1.0

Any help will be appreciated
thanks!

A: SparseMatrix has an optional template parameter that defines the storage order (cf. eigen documentation). By default, SparseMatrix uses column-major. So instead of Eigen::SparseMatrix<double> use Eigen::SparseMatrix<double, Eigen::RowMajor>.
It would be beneficial to use an alias for this
using MyMatrix = Eigen::SparseMatrix<double, Eigen::RowMajor>;
MyMatrix mat(5,5);

Exploratory and Infectious: Dafnis Prieto
Dafnis Prieto
Co-presented with the Northrop's jazz series, last night's concert marked the Minnesota debut of Cuban percussionist Dafnis Prieto. Prieto's music revels in the fertile middle ground between free jazz and the straight-ahead jazz rooted in 1950s hard bop. The songs that made up the more than 80-minute set, many of which were from his recent album Taking the Soul for a Walk, fluidly moved between composed and improvised. Surrounding Prieto were the other members of the sextet: Peter Apfelbaum (Tenor and Soprano Sax, Melodic, and Hand Percussion), Felipe Lamoglia (Alto and Soprano Sax), Ralph Alessi (trumpet), Manual Valera (piano), Charles Flores (bass), and, on one piece, dancer Judith Sanchez Ruiz.
As good as these musicians were, Prieto was obviously the star. Watching him move effortless across the drum set brought about not only the "How is one person can making all those sounds?" cliché, but rather that the sounds and polyrhythms he's coaxing from his set somehow all fit together into a composite groove that's as exploratory as it is infectious. At times Prieto looked like he was barely holding his sticks as he lightly struck the rims and edges of his cymbals, producing a sound like a collection of skittering bugs. At other moments, including a bit of boom-bap during a duet with pianist Valera, he was as loud as the most aggressive amateur banging away at the "Integrity of the Insider" exhibit of Haegue Yang in the Walker's Medtronic Gallery. A favorite technique for Prieto was to turn the snare off, thus making it another tom, resulting in a palette of four closely-pitched drums that he played like melodically rolling waves.
All that being said, the intimacy and tightness of the sextet made Prieto that much better. One of the best things about seeing good jazz live is to witness the subtle micro-interactions that make up a song, most of which are done on the spot. These are more than just smiles and nods, but rather the bounced back-and-forth of melodic and rhythmic fragments between soloists and members of the rhythmic section that show just how good a group is and how much they're enjoying their work; this sextet had all of these characteristics in spades.
Before the night's final song, Prieto grabbed a pair of claves and, after doing a bit of cheeky self-advertisement for Taking the Soul for a Walk, proceeded to wow the crowd one more time with an incredible display of mouth percussion, double- and triple-tonguing his way through myriad sounds and patterns. In a return to the most elemental of musical relationships—the hand and the voice—Prieto produced unbelievable music with the simplest of means, making what he creates with a full drum set and locked-in sextet that much more astonishing.

League Two Play-Offs: What the managers had to say ahead of the second legs
@EFL
Newport County and Morecambe both take leads into the League Two Play-Off Semi-Final second legs, as they take on Forest Green Rovers and Tranmere Rovers respectively this weekend, looking to book their place at Wembley. Here's what the managers had two say ahead of the second legs…
Jimmy Ball - Forest Green Rovers
"Fair play to them, they came after us. We hit the bar and their keeper made a great save in the second half, but that's football - fine margins. Two-nil can be a daunting place to be as well, so we'll lick our wounds and we'll be okay.
"I think it's still all about us and we need to do things a little bit better than we did [in the first leg]. The quality wasn't there and we got out-run and out-fought, which I don't like, but they're a good side who deserve respect. We'll bounce back, we're resilient, and the next game is now do or die. Hopefully we get on the front foot early.
"The next goal is huge and if we can get it, it'll be a very interesting game."
Michael Flynn - Newport County
"I thought we were excellent and my only gripe is that we didn't kill the tie off [in the first leg]. They're a very good team so I'm not getting carried away - we saw what happened last season, anything can happen.
"The second goal gives us a little bit of a cushion but I'd have liked - and thought we deserved - more. I will not be letting these players think this is done because Forest Green are dangerous, so we'll have to be at our best to get through to Wembley."
Derek Adams - Morecambe
"We obviously knew how Tranmere were going to play [in the first leg] and the fans were always going to give them a boost but we dealt with it. We scored two very good goals and could have had more, but over the night I'm delighted with the players.
"It was important to score first because it's never easy here. The players showed grit and determination. It was a good away performance for us.
"It's an advantage being 2-1 up, we did a very good job but still have 90 minutes to play and we know that."
Ian Dawes - Tranmere Rovers
"It's a tough one to take, we conceded two poor goals which is disappointing, but we were very good in the first half [of the first leg] and wanted to step it up. They're there to slow you down and they did that well, but we need to make sure we learn from that.
"We know their biggest strength is your biggest strength. Your biggest strength is having the ball and attacking and they'll look to counter, but we have to go into the second leg with confidence. The players haven't got their heads down, they have belief that they can win the tie.
"There are a couple of things we need to tweak and we'll be more than prepared for Sunday. We know it will be tough but we'll be ready."

Nicholas LaBelle
Nick credits his family for his passion for public service. His mother especially instilled in him from an early age to 'think of others, before yourself.' To Nick, these were more than just words. It has become a way of life for him. As a young boy he volunteered at his local church, and later in high school participated in the YMCA civic engagement programs. As a proud Eagle Scout, Nick took on the project of restoring the Landsdown Trail in Clinton that so many of us enjoy hiking today.
Nick is well prepared to take on the challenges that face LD23. In addition to his business and economic studies at Rutgers University, he has taken on many roles working at his family's textile business that his grandfather founded in 1946. Whether he was needed in the warehouse or in the office preparing invoices, Nick learned all aspects of the business. He understands the meaning of a hard day's work and like other small business owners is aware of the importance of having elected officials that you can depend upon for help and assistance in times of trouble, especially like the ones we experienced in 2020. Nick will utilize his business skills when making sound and rational decisions as your Assemblyman.
This past year during the COVID-19 pandemic, Nick took on a monumental challenge while serving as Rutgers University Student Body President. He was instrumental in creating the first COVID-19 student government relief program in the nation, acting before Congress, which has provided emergency relief to students needing assistance with rent or facing food insecurity. But Nick didn't stop there and decided to take on an environmental challenge by encouraging the University through a student referendum to divest its endowment from fossil fuel investments. Together by helping to empower and connect a coalition of stakeholders, Nick played a key role in encouraging the University to take proactive steps towards Carbon Neutrality and Climate Resilience. Nick will bring the values of service from our state university to the state house.
Nick's family moved from Piscataway to Pittstown when he was a young boy. He can't imagine leaving bucolic Hunterdon County and has continued to make Pittstown his home.

PcbPocket and PbcConnector are classes.  ConnectorName is a property of the PbcConnector class.  If I ignore this line, that value will be null, which is not what is saved in the database as and will give me an object reference not set error.  Is there a way I can retrieve my ConnectorName value to show in my datagridview (in a different file/form)?

A: Have a look at PcbConnector class. Change it like this
class PcbConnector
{
    // Now
    public string ConnectorName {get; private set;}

    // Update this to
    public string ConnectorName {get; set;} // makes the set public
}

A: you don't have a setter on your PcbConnector:
private string _ConnectorName = string.Empty;
public string ConnectorName
{
    get { return _ConnectorName; }
}

you want:
private string _ConnectorName = string.Empty;
public string ConnectorName
{
    get { return _ConnectorName; }
    set { _ConnectorName = value; }
}

with that said, you should note that properties can be auto-implemented, if you're not concerned about their default value.  For example, you have:
private int _SortOrder = 0;
public int SortOrder
{
    get { return _SortOrder; }
    set { _SortOrder = value; }
}

this is the same as
public int SortOrder { get; set; }

as an int's default value is 0 anyways

GMC Hummer Test Vehicles Had So Much Torque They Could Pull Wheelies
The engineers had to reel the power back.
There are a great deal of intriguing anecdotes that can be grabbed during an automobile's growth. Several of them are never shown to the public, while others a fondly informed by the men and women who dealt with the automobile. Today's story comes from GMC with its Hummer EV.
The Drive just recently took the immense electrical SUV out for a spin with Al Oppenheiser, the chief designer for the Hummer EV. He shares that the 9,046 extra pounds (4,103 kg) SUV drew surprise wheelies during its development phase. As a result of that, Oppenheiser and also his group had to unwind the power to maintain the car in check.
"In the early days when we were just attempting to stabilize the front and back torque, I obtained the front end to raise. We had to withdraw the torque on the front end," claimed Oppenheiser. While the suggestion of pulling wheelies is fun, it is a safety problem, particularly when it's unforeseen. The front wheels are up in the air, making guiding tough or impossible. There is also a threat of the car spearing off in a different instructions unpredictably, triggering a crash.
Mind you, Oppenheiser claims the manufacturing Hummer EV can do the same trick with a proper tune. Certainly, anything that happens afterwards is beyond the supplier's hands. But as it is, it has actually been noted that some testers felt bewildered by the vehicle's drawing power in Watts to Liberty (WTF) setting. Because setting, GMC says the electrical SUV can toss itself from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in simply three seconds.
To evaluate, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV is available with 3 powertrain options and also 4 trim levels. These are the Version 1, EV3X, EV2X, and EV2. The Edition 1 was sold out an hour after the booking books were opened. That version has actually an estimated 1,000 horsepower (746 kilowatts) and also concerning 1,200 pound-feet (1,627 Newton-meters) of torque. The EV3X has around 800 horse power (597 kilowatts), while the EV2X and EV2 produced 625 horse power.

Radiation therapy is an integral part of ductal carcinoma in situ treatment. In many cases, radiation therapy is recommended after surgery; even though it's often possible to remove all of the cancerous cells from the milk ducts through a lumpectomy or mastectomy, radiation therapy can help ensure that the entire malignancy has been destroyed.
Even when a patient has all of his or her breast tissue removed, radiation therapy may still be recommended to help reduce the risk of the cancer coming back. Some studies suggest that radiation therapy for ductal carcinoma in situ can reduce the risk of recurrence by up to 60 percent – a statistic that leads many patients to choose post-operative radiation therapy for their own peace of mind.
At Moffitt Cancer Center, we look at the total picture to help each patient select the most appropriate treatment options for his or her specific needs. We offer a number of different radiation therapy options, including external beam radiation therapy, whole-breast irradiation and brachytherapy (removable radioactive implants). These treatments are provided by a team of experts who each focus on a specific aspect of the treatment process, making them some of the most specialized providers in their respective fields. Between our skilled oncologists and state-of-the-art technologies, we're able to produce breast cancer treatment outcomes that are routinely better than the national averages, as well as enhance quality of life for our patients.
Referrals are not required to come to Moffitt. Patients interested in radiation therapy for ductal carcinoma in situ can request an appointment by calling 1-888-663-3488, or by submitting a new patient registration form online.


Recently a customer requested a TG2 ring without accent metal- just titanium, using stainless steel fasteners (mediocre iphone photos attached). I thought it might be boring, but he and I agree it's pretty cool. And, much less time consuming to make. I've decided to offer it as a TG2 option. Price $1450.

Palestinian Students Remember Massacre
abacca / April.7.2007
by Angela Bacca, staff writer
"Don't see me as a child with a stone in his hand/ See me as a man fighting for his land," were the lyrics that blasted through the speakers at Malcolm X Plaza this afternoon as a parade of scarf-covered children and GUPS (General Union of Palestine Students) members proceeded into the center of the plaza and laid down as if they were dead.
They remained lying there for the bulk of the event, which included fiery speeches from 21-year-old GUPS member and sociology major Loubda Qutami.
"It is the one topic that continues to be ignored by the left and the right of this country!" she yelled passionately into the microphone. "Why do we stand silent?"
The event, part of the 3rd annual Arab Awareness Week, was a commemoration of the massacre that took place in the village of Deir Yassin, outside of Jerusalem.
According to Ramsey El-Qare, 25-year-old political science major and chair of GUPS, the group has been commemorating the massacre with events in or around April 9th for the last 10-15 years.
The group "Politikal Heat" performed onstage during the event. "Everybody say hi to the cops!" Hesham Halteh, a SF State kinesiology alumnus and group member said. At least four uniformed University police were stationed in and around Malcolm X at the event.
When questioned as to the necessity of them being there, an unnamed officer said that it was standard at "these types" of events.
A poster behind the stage featured a picture of the Palestinian cartoon "Handala", which is the center of the controversial Edward Said mural debate. In the cartoon, Handala is seen holding a key, which symbolizes the Palestinian reclamation of current-day Israel.
"The key represents us, our home," said 23-year-old information systems major Naser Halteh, adding that those who were offended "don't want to see us representing our massacre."
The event was mainly held to get information about what is going on in Israel to the public. The group also handed out fliers with information about media coverage and civilian casualties.
"We don't have an army," said Hesham Halteh, "It's about civilians fighting the #4 best army in the world," he said.
GUPS members also handed out bumper stickers that say "Zionism = Racism" along with carrying a large moving banner reading "Israel, you betray the memory of 6 million with your brutal aggression in Palestine."
"I don't identify with Zionism, but they (GUPS) should be careful," said Alex Rieser, a 20-year-old creative writing major and member of the national Jewish Fraternity AEΠ, "It just sparks dissidence," he said.
"The significance of the event was to show what the Palestinians are dealing with," said El-Qare.

BellSouth Corp., the No. 3 U.S. local telephone company, on Friday said it will immediately drop a $2.97 monthly fee for high-speed Internet service after U.S. communications regulators threatened to investigate the charge.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission had been poised to send a letter of inquiry to BellSouth asking the carrier to explain the new fee, which replaces a surcharge for a government subsidy program, FCC officials said.

Q: How to use the Riemann sum for a line integral Let us say that we have the function $f(x,y) = xy$ and the curve $C: x=\cos(t), y=\sin(t)$ on the interval $[0, \pi/2]$. I want to use the Riemann sum to find out the integral of $$\int_{t=0}^{t=\frac{\pi}{2}} f(r(t))\left | r'(t) \right | dt $$
Geometrically, I can see that we want to multiply the function $f(x(t),y(t))$ by $ds$ and sum all of the parts to find our surface area.
I know that this integral evaluates as $\frac{1}{2}$. I can only assume that the summation we are dealing with is $ \displaystyle\sum_{t=0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \left | \cos\left(\frac{t\pi}{2n}\right)\sin\left(\frac{t\pi}{2n}\right) \right |$ but I'm not clear of the details.

My username is random numbers and letters?
Re: My username is random numbers and letters?
Thank you so much! This is the answer I was looking for.
--- well that didn't work. :( Anyone know how to fix it? I guess it's not the end of the world but I just enrolled for the community website today & was prompted to enter a username. Why wouldn't it have "taken"?
This is crazy. So many people complaining about this. Additionally to the playlist creator name being borked it is also visible as a random string on my discord profile. I really don't want to have to make another account. Is it really that hard to fix on Spotify's end, rather than all the users having to figure it out for themselves, and make new accounts? And making a tweet with @spotifycares to get everything transferred? How ironic.


Media attention has recently raised public awareness of hazing rituals, generating curiosity, interest, and debate about hazing as an initiation practice. Making the Team is a ground-breaking collection of contemporary perspectives on this topic. This book provides a theoretical analysis of hazing from a sociological perspective, both in the United States and in Canada. It is designed to provide an understanding of hazing for use in sociology and sport management classes, and is also highly suitable for courses that examine gender roles and socialisation. The collection chronicles the hazing practices that exist in sport and offers an historical overview of hazing and its emergence in today's sport culture. It also provides a theoretical and legal guide for understanding and managing hazing in sport. The discussion focuses on the role of tradition, power, and violence in hazing and on how the rituals serve as a confirmation of masculinity and dominance. These issues engage the reader in critical thought about a contentious aspect of sport that until recently has gone unchallenged.
The Routledge Handbook of Applied Sport Psychology is a definitive guide to the theory and practice of applied sport psychology. It goes further than any other book in surveying the full variety of issues that practising sport psychologists will confront in their working lives. It introduces the most important tools and skills that psychologists will need to be truly helpful to their clients, and it also adopts a holistic definition of the role of the sport psychologist, explaining how effective counselling, assessment, and therapeutic models can add important extra dimensions to professional practice. The book is divided into seven thematic sections, addressing: counselling assessment theoretical and therapeutic models issues for the individual athlete, from injury and overtraining to depression issues for teams, from conflict resolution to travel working with special populations mental skills, such as imagery, goal setting, and concentration. Moving beyond the traditional tracks of clinical psychology and performance enhancement, the authors in this book argue convincingly that psychologists would benefit from attempting to understand athletes' social and familial contexts – their health, happiness, and interpersonal dynamics in the broadest sense – if they are to serve their clients' best interests. With contributions from many of the world's leading sport psychologists, and with clear descriptions of best practice in each chapter, the Routledge Handbook of Applied Sport Psychology is essential reading for all serious students and practitioners of sport psychology, counselling, applied sport science, health psychology, and related fields.
Contemporary sport psychology is a rapidly developing and theoretically rich discipline, and a sophisticated and challenging profession. The Routledge International Handbook of Sport Psychology offers a comprehensive and authoritative guide to contemporary sport psychology in all its aspects. Written by a team of world-leading researchers and practitioners from five continents, including both established scholars and the best emerging talents, the book traces the contours of the discipline of sport psychology, introducing fundamental theory, discussing key issues in applied practice, and exploring the most important themes, topics and debates across the sport psychology curriculum. Uniquely, the book presents comparative studies of the history and contemporary practice of sport psychology in ten countries, including the US, UK, China, Japan, Brazil, Russia and Israel, helping the reader to understand the cultural and contextual factors that shape international practice in sport psychology. As well as covering in depth the core pillars of sport psychology, from motivation and cognition to group dynamics, the book also includes a full section on cultural sport psychology, a vital but under-explored sub-discipline that is having a profound influence on contemporary theory and practice. With 56 chapters and unparalleled range, depth and currency, the Routledge Handbook of International Sport Psychology is an essential addition to any library with a serious holding in sport psychology.
This easy-to-read guide prepares future coaches of all levels and all sports for scenarios and issues they will encounter during their careers. Preparing the Successful Coach provides instructors and students with a springboard to discuss issues that are often overlooked in coaching preparation programs. Students are able to look at scenarios from multiple viewpoints and learn to problem solve effectively.
"Recommended"--Choice Young people have long used popular culture to explore, define and express who they are. For many, popular culture is also a tool of survival. Gone are the days when proscriptive programs were needed for young people to transition to adulthood. Today, youth culture is communicated through information technology, particularly social media, enabling young people to engage the world. Yet, as always, youth culture is often a cause of concern for adults and policy makers. This collection of new essays focuses on modern youth popular culture. There are such topics as social justice and youth mobilization in Ferguson, Missouri, social media and sexual literacy among LGBT youth, and youth culture's influence on children's sports.
What impact does sport have on the lives of ordinary people? How does sport help to perpetuate inequalities in society? What can social theory tell us about the role of sport in society?? At their origin competitive sports were institutionalized in Western cultures for the privilege of white, heterosexual men. Over time sport has become more open to categories of people traditionally marginalized in society: women; those from lower social classes; gay men; people of colour; and those differently abled. However, focusing solely on increased social inclusion in sport masks significant problems with both the culture and structure of sport. This critical textbook examines social exclusion in sport and analyzes the socio-negative attributes associated with competitive, institutionalized sport, for all who play. Focusing on sport at non-elite levels, this book explores the lives of everyday citizens who play and examines how inequality and social deviance are structured into the social and sporting system. Each chapter uses a key social theory to address a particular social problem in sport, such as learned obedience to authority; the acceptance of pain and injury; the adoption of hyper-masculine, homophobic and sexist attitudes; the teaching of in-group/out-group; and the use of sport as a false mechanism for social mobility. By concentrating on real sport, and through the use of startling vignettes illustrating the experiences of real people, this textbook develops the critical senses, social conscience and theoretical understanding of all students of sport and anybody for whom sport is part of their everyday life.
This contributed volume includes articles on sport and gender written by leading scholars in their areas of expertise. Part I demonstrates that 1) the relationship between sport and gender has not developed in a smooth, uncontested, or linear way that always privileges all males and always discriminates against all females, and 2) that the relationship between sport and gender can best be understood sociologically by tracing the intersections between sport, gender, and other ways that Canadian life has been - and remains - stratified, such as social class, age, race, ethnicity, and sexuality. In Chapter 1, Melissa Parker and Philip White explore the chronological development of theoretical frameworks addressing both the gendering of sport and what it means to be gendered in sport. Michael Atkinson argues in Chapter 2 that there is a strong link between types of research methods used and knowledge claims made by researchers. In 'Cultural Struggle and Resistance: Gender, History and Canadian Sport', M. Ann Hall traces the early moments of organized women's sport in Canada to show that women's sport in Canada is built on far stronger foundations than is often assumed. In the following chapter, Kevin Wamsley argues that not all men were privileged by early Canadian sport practices. For instance, he outlines the process through which sport became an arena for the construction of particular types of masculinity, notably masculinities that helped reinforce the dominance of powerful groups of men. Beginning from the premise that Canadian society - and thus Canadian sport - is far from 'classless', Peter Donnelly and Jean Harvey provide numerous examples in Chapter 6 to show that there have been major social class and gender inequalities throughout the history of sport. Again, we are reminded that gender is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that can best be understood if we trace power differences not only between different groups of men and womenbut also between different versions of 'masculinity' and 'femininity' associated with particular social groups, social classes, and social settings. Part II of this book focuses on the work currently being done by leading researchers in the area of sport and gender in Canada on a broad spectrum of sport-related topics. The chapters reflect a variety of theoretical standpoints and methodological procedures. These chapters emphasize the need to study gender in a way that is not only non-categorical but perhaps moves beyond the distributive level towards understanding how sport assumes particular forms at particular historical junctures and grows out of relations of power that are determined culturally and reinforced ideologically. In Chapter 6, Sally Shaw and Larena Hoeber show how the prevalence of gendered discourses hinders the achievement of gender equity in Canadian amateur sport organizations. The idea that there is no singular masculinity and femininity operating withinCanadian sport is developed in Chapter 7 in which Philip White and Kevin Young review research findings on gender and rates and types of sport injury. In Chapter 8 Caroline Davis observes that some femininities are more closely associated with body image disorders than others and discusses the biological, sociological, and psychological factors acting on the relationship between sport, physical activity, and eating disorders. Chapter 9 by Peter Donnelly ('Who's Fair Game? Sport, Sexual Harassment, and Abuse') identifies how power differences tend to exist at the heart of abusive and exploitive sport-based relationships. Notions of power relations are also central to Chapter 10 written by Patricia Vertinsky and Sandra O'Brien Cousins on the effects of gender on participation in sport among older Canadians. Specifically, their chapter demonstrates how older women are disadvantaged relative to men when it comes to involvement in sport and physical activity. Victoria Paraschak's chapter on sport and Canada's First Nations peoples (Chapter 11) provides vivid examples of how unequal gender relations are created and reproduced over time. Chapter 12 calls for a collapsing of the rigid binary categories of hetero/homosexuality on the grounds that these are used to preclude full and equal gay and lesbian participation in sport. Identifying patterns of exclusion from participation in sport and physical activity is also the focus of Chapter 13 which is authored by Wendy Frisby,Colleen Reid and Pamela Ponic. This chapter demonstrates how a combination of poverty and prevailing municipal recreation department policies seriously limit the opportunities of many women from active recreation. In Chapter 14, Brian Wilson explores how the media reinforces taken-for-granted understandings of gender-appropriate orientations toward the body and sport. In the following chapter, Jamie Bryshun and Kevin Young provide some of the first substantial evidence for the routine involvement of female athletes in initiation (hazing) rituals in Canada and conclude that power relations between neophyte and veteran female players may be just as aggressive, coercive, and high-risk as those occurring on male teams. Sport and Gender in Canada reflects a growing body of work highlighting the diversity that exists among Canadian sportswomen and sportsmen in terms of factors such as age, race, heritage, sexuality, and social class. To speak of a 'generic' sporting masculinity or femininity, or indeed of a generic sporting experience, simply does not do justice to the complexity of Canadian sporting life.
The book that set the standard for sports textbooks has been extensively revised and updated for its new eighth edition. Among the many new topical additions are elite child athletics, gambling in college sports, performance enhancement drugs, sport and nationalism after 9/11, the Beijing Olympics, Nike and other corporations, the power of media in sport, and more on minorities and on disabilities in sport. The authors are experiences text authors as well as former athletes and coaches. They bring a unique perspective to topics that are current and much on the minds of students and professors competing in an ever more challenging sport environment--one beset by scandal, pressed for revenue production, and riddled with inequality.
Sport is filled with much paradox. Sport, by nature, is inherently based on athleticism, fitness, strength, and other seemingly healthful benefits. Though such benefits are common, there is the constant presence where the unhealthy and inappropriate associations exist. This dichotomy is quite prevalent in many forms in contemporary sport. Among the most troubling occurrence with contemporary sport is the increasingly visible prevalence of criminal behaviors associated with sport. This text seeks to examine some of the most relevant and thought provoking occurrence of criminal and quasi-criminal behavior in sport. Through identifying pertinent issues, including motives and causes associated with such actions, this work aims to present a comprehensive view at these issues while providing regarding ways such matters can be effectively dealt with in contemporary society. Among the topics to be addressed in this work include: drug issues, violence, gambling, ticket scalping, hazing, fraud in nonprofit sport, homeland security issues and disaster preparedness in sport, intellectual property (trademark law, copyright misappropriation, and criminal implications), and beyond.

"This work looks to increase awareness of sexual abuse in sports. Topics covered include the experiences of elite female athletes, sexual harassment of women in athletics as compared to the world of academia, the prevalence of sexual abuse in organized competitive sports in Australia, and defining appropriateness in coachathlete sexual relationships."
The importance of protecting children from all forms of abuse, exploitation and neglect in the context of play and sport has emerged into widened awareness in recent years, As highlighted by the United Nations Study on Violence against Children and raised in the media and other forums. Following up on this area of the UN study, UNICEF IRC has undertaken research to highlight the need for effective strategies that promote the right to 'play safe'. This Innocenti Digest reviews research findings on the discrimination and violence experienced by children in the sports setting. it examines successful prevention strategies with a view to improving the safety of children in competitive sport as well as recreational activities. The study is being prepared in partnership with international experts in the field of sports and child rights, and with representatives of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, The International Olympic Committee and various sports federations.


We're not the next Silicon Valley — we're the first Hudson Valley.
Editor's note: This is the third in a series of columns on the Hudson Valley tech community written by members of the Hudson Valley Tech Meetup.
"Is the Hudson Valley the next Silicon Valley?"
There's a lot that's good about Silicon Valley, and its output is leaving an indelible mark on our society. But that region and the innovation it's fostered is the result of a very specific social, geographic and regulatory environment. I'm not sure that it can be replicated. Moreover, I'm not sure that it should be.
I don't think there should be a "next" Silicon Valley, and I definitely don't think that it should be the Hudson Valley. A region's greatest strengths flow from its particular uniqueness — the land, the people, the culture that make it what it is.
Playing the comparison game is always dangerous, because it loses sight of the fact that every region has its own awesome, if you just know where to look. And one region's awesome may not fit into the template that works for another region.
The Hudson Valley has a particular aesthetic and a particular worldview that goes well with the world of design and technology. The region attracts people who want to do good while doing well — who want to build things that strengthen communities, and make products with purpose.
The community here is exceedingly friendly and helpful — there's none of the cutthroat nature that people associate with other tech hotspots. People are excited to hear what others are working on, and are eager to lend a hand.
Last summer, there was a lot of overlap between the Hudson Valley Tech Meetup and Stockade FC, the Hudson Valley's new semi-pro soccer team based in Kingston. A lot of the same people were involved in each, and they shared a similar ethos — the idea that, if there's something you want to see in the world that doesn't already exist, the best thing you can do is to create it.
The burgeoning tech corridor in the Hudson Valley isn't just an extension of the tech scene in New York City, and it isn't limited to the old-school engineering community built here by IBM. It's a separate creation, organically adopting the traits and values that make our region special. It's plugged into our region's zeitgeist. It's provided a home for digital workers who want to escape the mad rush of New York and San Francisco.
The Hudson Valley tech community has fostered relationships and creative collaborations with local restaurants and breweries, local venues and other local events. It birthed CatskillsConf, an annual retreat in the woods of the Ashokan Center for technologists looking to get out of the city for a weekend. Where else can you find an event that mixes technical presentations with foraging lessons and birds-of-prey demonstrations?
Silicon Valley is a great place to work if you want to build yet another social network that needs to attract 100 million users in a year to be successful. For those who'd rather spend their time being good stewards of a particular niche, the Hudson Valley is a good place to be.

Mark Harrington put £15.02 worth of fuel in his car before driving off without making payment in January.
A Derby man who drove off without paying for petrol claimed he did so as he suffers from short-term memory loss.
Mark Harrington, of Micklecroft Gardens, put £15.02 worth of fuel in his car before driving off without making payment in January.
Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court also heard how, the following month, the 36-year-old then took a vehicle belonging to his ex-wife without her consent and drove it without being insured.
Harrington said that he has to have dialysis five times a week and one of the side-effects was that he suffered with memory loss.
Magistrates banned Harrington from the roads and fined him for his actions.
Lynn Bickley, prosecuting, said: "The circumstances are that, on January 10, at 4pm the vehicle that was driven by the defendant was driven to Esso, in Kingsway, Derby.
"He put £15.02 of petrol in the car. He got back in and left without making payment.
"When interviewed, he stated that he suffered from short-term memory loss and attends hospital in relation to that."
The court heard how, on March 12, Harrington then took the car of his ex-wife without her consent.
Ms Bickley said: "With the taking of the vehicle he said he had got a taxi to drop him off at his ex-wife's address and he walks to the address.
"He received a phone call from a friend with schizophrenia and he takes the keys to drive the vehicle. He is pulled over by police."
The court heard how Harrington was of previous good character.
His ex-wife did not support the prosecution and asked not to have a restraining order placed on him.
Harrington, who had no defence solicitor in court, addressed the bench directly.
He said: "I'm sorry for everything that's happened. I have had a really difficult time the last few years.
"I have renal problems and take dialysis five times a week and I have short-term memory loss from this.
"I had no idea regarding the filling up. I am happy to pay that, it is not a problem.
Harrington pleaded guilty to making off without payment, taking a vehicle without the owner's consent and driving without insurance.
Magistrates banned him from driving for six months and he had to pay £15.02 in compensation to Esso.
He was fined £80 for taking the vehicle without the owner's consent, had to pays costs of £85 and a £30 victim surcharge.
This gave him a total to pay of £195.


I am shocked, shocked to the very core of my being, that plebs and proles who do not know their place are using the likes of Facebook to seek to influence elections.
Anyone would think that it were easy to set up "fake" social media accounts, whatever that might mean, and to use them for political purposes, as scandalously suggested by Pete Willsman.
The next American Presidential Election is going to be between Donald Trump and either Bernie Sanders or someone younger who is well to his left but who has a much longer history in the Democratic Party. For example, Bill de Blasio.
And in Britain, if the new "centrist" party is ever even set up, then it will get nowhere. There is going to be another hung Parliament, with Jeremy Corbyn's Labour as the largest party.
At best, from their own point of view, those without the guts to set up on their own are then going to make Corbyn's life miserable from what were supposed to be his own benches.
That is why we need our people to hold the balance of power. I need £10,000 in order to stand for Parliament with any chance of winning.

Pedalling a petition for shared path
August 3, 2020 Stephen Taylor News
MORE than 1700 people have signed an electronic petition supporting the building of a community cycling and walking path from Moorooduc station to Mornington.
The proposed path is one of the 11 so-called "missing links" in the Bay Trail given priority status by Mornington Peninsula Shire as part of the overall objective of completing the trail.
The Mornington Community Safelink Link Group's Graeme Rocke said he had been working with peninsula state and federal MPs in a bid for government money for the path to "kick start the economy in a post-COVID-19 environment".
The group is aligning itself with Mornington Railway Preservation Society in a shared vision for a path linking recreational hubs between Baxter and Mornington, and a Mount Eliza regional "hub" for a range of exercise and relaxation activities.
Completion of the "missing links" will create an integrated and continuous trail allowing users to take longer uninterrupted journeys; allow increased use of the Mornington Peninsula's trail network – especially by females and young people and, says Mr Rocke, save on up to $5.6 million in health costs due to increased levels of walking and cycling.
"Use of the completed trail will reduce traffic congestion, road repair costs and vehicle running costs, and increase social connection and cognitive health for our residents and visitors," he said.
"It will strengthen the peninsula's brand as a premier walking and cycling destination, and provide economic output of $11.3 million each year. It is also expected to create 35 new jobs."

Summit aims to abate domestic and sexual violence
Photo by Lawson Kurtz | The Chronicle
By Sadhna Gupta
The Durham "Sex, Love and Violence" summit opened Wednesday, bringing together community agencies and individuals interested in issues of domestic violence, sexual assault and rape.
In the four-hour event at the Durham Marriott Convention Center, speakers discussed how to respond to and prevent domestic and sexual violence. About 150 people attended the event, which was hosted by the Mayor's Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Rape Task Force and Durham's Department of Human Relations.
"Sexual violence is an area that the city needed to focus on, so we formed this task force," Durham Mayor Bill Bell said. "We really care about individuals—especially those who have been abused—and we want to show that… I think that whenever we can get public and private agencies to collaborate, we can solve something together."
Bell said the goal of the task force is to reduce and ultimately eradicate domestic violence, sexual assault and rape in Durham.
Yvonne Peña, director of Durham's Department of Human Relations and a co-chair of the task force, said more money and attention are needed to combat domestic and sexual violence.
"If there was a virus that was killing thousands of people, we would react differently," she said. "The money would appear to eradicate the virus, there would be a lot of information to prevent it from spreading, and people would be focused on it."
City Council member Mike Woodard, a co-chair of the task force, said the conference would help fight domestic and sexual violence by bringing together different organizations involved in the issues.
"There are a lot of services out there, but people don't always know about them, or agencies don't know that another group is providing a similar or complementary service," he said in an interview.
Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez also spoke about the importance of educating young people about anger management and domestic violence.
Many of the 30 organizations working with the task force set up tables at the event to inform attendees of their services. The organizations ranged from Duke Medicine and Durham Regional Hospital to N.C. Against Domestic Violence and El Centro Hispano.
Kathryn Smith, a representative for the Center for Child and Family Health, which counsels children who are sexually abused, manned a table at the event.
"Unfortunately, sexual abuse and domestic violence happen more than we want to admit," she said in an interview. "Events like this help to break the silence around these issues and bring them to the public."
The recession has forced Durham to make difficult decisions about law enforcement funding. Woodard said funding was not cut for uniformed police, but the city did not add positions to the domestic violence team that it would have liked to add.
Assistant District Attorney Angela Garcia-Lamarca said in an interview that Durham has both a domestic violence response team and a sexual assault response team, which involve the Department of Social Services, law enforcement agencies, health departments, medical professionals and the DA's office. Durham also has a separate domestic violence court with two judges.
"Our ultimate goal is to prevent homicides," she said." This event promotes community cooperation, which is a very important component to effective prosecution of domestic violence."
Wednesday's event was part of the "2009 I Care Campaign" which is designed to provide support to sexual and domestic violence victims, Peña said.
A similar event conducted in Spanish will be held today at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in downtown Durham.
The task force is also fundraising to print and distribute "Little Purple Books" to all Durham residents. The books will provide information about the signs of domestic violence and how people can help victims.
Peña also said that the task force is in the process of planning a date assault conference for college students in the area.
