What is in Hi Tech Dianabol Muscle Builder?
3b-Hydroxy-5androstadien-17-one Acetate: Also known as the proven muscle and strength building hormone1-ANDRO. This compound converts to 1-Testosterone, which is 200% more anabolic than pure testosterone leading to bigger and better gains in muscle size and strength. Coupled with the new patented Cyclosome Technology delivery matrix making this the strongest most bioavailable 1-Andro on the market.
Androsterone: This prohormone converts to the extremely potent hormone known as Dihydrotestosterone which is more commonly known as DHT. DHT is extremely androgenic which means it will impact extreme hardness, dryness, and lean gains while on cycle greatly improving body physique and appearance.
3b-Hydroxy-1,4-androstadien-17-one: This compound is a prohormone that converts to highly coveted and effective Boldonone! Boldenone is highly anabolic and has been known to provide users with lean and dense muscle gains, along with increasing hunger to allow for HUGE gains while on cycle. In addition to already being a powerful anabolic compound potency is increased with Cycloscome Technology making this anabolic 99% bioavailable.
Dioscorea Makino 50-67:1 Extract: An Incredibly potent natural extract standardized for 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin. Discovered in 1996 and shown to have an anabolic/androgenic ratio similar Anavar, but without the side effects of liver toxicity or testing positive for steroidal therapy. Athletes claim to have seen strength increases in 3-5 days. Tests showed that protein synthesis increased by over 200%, the key to lean muscle growth and accelerated repair.
Rhaponticum Carthamoides Extract: Featuring steroidal saponins, this extract contains active compounds studied to increase the rate of protein synthesis at the same rate as Methandrostenolone. Protein synthesis is what dictates how quickly our body can build new muscle, so by including it in Dianabol® you enable your body to vastly increase the anabolic potential of prohormones.
Ajuga Turkestanica Extract: The most powerful of all ecdysteroids, Turkesterone has been shown to stimulate muscle growth via the Wnt pathway. In addition to directly increasing muscle growth, studies show Turkesterone can directly decrease Myostatin as well. Myostatin is a protein that prohibits muscle growth. By decreasing Myostatin, your body can go far beyond its natural limitations.
5-Methoxy-7-Isoflavone-7-Isopropoxyisoflavone: Naturally occurring flavones which have been proven to provide massive anabolic benefits. These ingredients greatly increases protein synthesis while upping nitrogen retention (which allows for enhanced muscle growth via the same pathway as traditional steroids without the negative aspects).
Take one (1) tablet three times daily with meals. This is important as the strength of this product can cause nausea if consumed without eating.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets ("DTAs") and deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs") are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. DTAs and DTLs are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on DTAs and DTLs of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Current accounting standards require a valuation allowance against DTAs if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the DTAs may not be realized. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of these DTAs in future tax returns, all of the DTAs have been fully offset by a valuation allowance as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
In assessing the realizability of DTAs, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the DTAs will not be realized. The ultimate realization of DTAs is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods) and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the DTAs are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences or tax carryforwards as of September 30, 2021.
Current accounting standards include guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. Such standards also prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement model for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company believes that the ultimate deductibility of all tax positions is highly certain, although there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. As a result, no liability for uncertain tax positions was recorded as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020 and we do not expect any significant changes in the next twelve months. Should we need to accrue interest or penalties on uncertain tax positions, we would recognize the interest as interest expense and the penalties as a selling, general and administrative expense. As of September 30, 2021, tax years 2017-2020 remained subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.
As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $153.3 million of federal and $20.1 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, as well as approximately $8.9 million of federal R&D credit carryforwards which expire from 2021 to 2040.
The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

When Giorgio Armani decided to launch his first cologne Acqua Di Gio close to twenty years ago, the designer knew that he was taking a big risk. After all, he was the face of a brand known for its apparel and this first foray into beauty could either become a stepping stone or be a major flop. Luckily for him, Acqua di Gio turned out to be a massive commercial success and it is still the leading men's fragrance on the market nowadays. To celebrate the launch of Acqua Di Gio Absolu, I was lucky enough to be invited to partake in a sensory experience in Mont Tremblant, Québec.
A few months ago, I attended my very first opera at the Four Seasons Center for the Performing Arts and I had such a lovely time that I was looking forward to my next excursion to the gorgeous building. Little did I know that it would happen sooner than later and last week, we headed there once again for the opening night of the Canadian Opera Company's production of Donizetti's Anna Bolena.
The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said that "Music is the universal language of mankind." There is something sublimely intriguing about music and its ability to convey emotions, whether you understand the language being sung or not. I grew up during the Disney Renaissance Age where music was a focal point of every one of their movies and, as such, I grew to love musical theatre. However, I surprisingly never managed to attend an opera performance until last week.
I have never been one with much of an interest for sports. I have partaken in some of them, mostly because I was required to do so in high school as part of the curriculum. While I did understand the basics of most of them, I simply didn't understand the need or the passion that some people get out of sports. However, I will admit that there is one sport that managed to capture my interest: tennis.
New year, New me. As we bid adieu to a very interesting 2016, we partake into another big cultural tradition: New Year resolutions. Each January, we choose some goals we would love to achieve throughout the year and we try our best to adhere to them. As a global community being influenced by the same social pressures and beliefs, we do tend to have a somewhat mainstream list of goals we would like to tick off our check lists. However, how realistic are the goals we set and how likely are we to achieve them?
I am your father. You had me at Hello. I'm gonna make him an offer he won't refuse. Movies and televisions shows have often been a source of popular culture quotes that transcended time. Each generation of viewers end up adapting their own jargon to the movies of the moment. I remember when Mean Girls came out and everyone could quote the entirety of the movie. To this date, I can still quote parts of it. Isn't it fetch? In my everyday life, I make a lot of references to such quotes and yesterday I got to use one of my favourite ones from Gilmore Girls. I smell snow.
Tis the season to be shopping. It is mid-November and it once again this time of the year when we all have to wave our magic wands and somehow conjure up the perfect present: One that is personal, unique, pretty, within a specific price range and that your special ones have not purchased for themselves yet. It is becoming increasingly hard in this highly consumption centric society to find such a rare gem. Sometimes it feels like it would be easier to find a needle in a hay stack. Thankfully we have wonderful shows like the One of a Kind Show and its online shop.

Started in 1976, The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is an annual event that showcases some of the best movies in the world. Over the years, the festival has become a pilgrimage for movie fanatics, attracting over 480,000 people to the city yearly. While the event is often a good reason for celebrity sight seeing, it also offers the public first access to World movie premieres and the chance to vote for their favourite movie to become the recipient of the Grolsch People's Choice Award. This title is often a good omen for the upcoming awards season.


Masuk time nih ketua MK kita.
When agents from Indonesian's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) hauled a sobbing judge from his Jakarta residence on Wednesday night, it looked like a re-run of dozens of other arrests in this chronically corrupt country — right down to the huge pile of banknotes (in this case $595,000) found in the crooked official's home. But Akil Mochtar was not just any crooked official. In a startling demonstration of just how far graft in Indonesia has reached, investigators this time had nabbed the chief justice of the Constitutional Court, which sits side by side with the Supreme Court as one of the two highest courts in the land.

What Martin Nievera Learned About His Son's Autism
by Alexa Villano
Martin Nievera opened up about his youngest son Santino, who was diagnosed with Autism, and how it changed his life.
Martin Nievera has been traveling back and forth to Manila and the US for concerts. But in his interview on Magandang Buhay aired last October 27, Martin, dubbed as the country's concert king, opened up about being a father to his three boys – Ram, Robin, and lastly, Santino, who is diagnosed with autism.
Martin Nievera on Santino's autism condition: It changed my life
During the interview, Martin said that it completely changed his life when Santino, 16, was diagnosed with autism. Santino is his son with ex-partner Katrina Ojeda.
"Sa lahat ng mga bata na nasa spectrum, it's going to be a challenge talaga. And being the father that I am – I am never around that kind of father, ang hirap to instill in Santino, to teach him what I think the world should look like," he said.
Getting emotional, Martin wishes everyone to see the world through the eyes of a child with autism. "There's magic there. There's hope there. We all need to self-improve."
The "Be My Lady" crooner admits that his son being judged is one of his fears, making him an interpreter for Santino most of the time.
"The art of showbiz is to entertain. And now, I've learned to entertain because I'm literally every second of my life entertaining Santino so that he doesn't see the world as ugly."
"This is a lifelong condition," he added. "So we have to learn to live with it and not apologize for it."

Martin Nievera: I've stopped apologizing
Martin said that one of the things he has learned after his son's diagnosis is that he should not apologize and blame himself.
"I've stopped apologizing. Like I'm so sorry. You don't do that. Your child is special. Everyone's child is special. Stop making apologies. There's nothing to be sorry for. Stop blaming yourself for the situation that he's in. Just be there. Just be present," he said.
Martin said that whenever he sees his son, he feels the bond between them and the bond with kids with special needs.
"I wish I was a better father to all three boys but I am not," he said. "But it is what it is. I do the best I can while I'm still here to entertain everybody but my real life is a challenge."
It also helps that his two other sons, Ram and Robin, are with Santino and that he often goes to the US.
"They're helping me now because they are close to Santino. So this could be a good thing that they are all in the same country together, that they can take over. Is God trying to tell me that's it? You got your 40 years, maybe you have to start thinking what happens after, maybe that's what this day is all about and it's really scary," he said.
This is not the first time Martin spoke about Santino's condition. Last July, he talked about Santino's condition during the Be You: The World Will Adjust concert.
Martin is currently preparing for his concert M4D: Martin 4 Decades at the Solaire Theatre on November 19.

Netflix's release of its highly anticipated horror-thriller Bird Box has broken records. It quickly became the most streamed movie in the first seven days of its release. As to be expected, the internet has exploded into a frenzy of speculations and theories as to the deeper meaning of the film. There are many theories that circulate whether the movie is trying to discuss mental illness and its relationship with society as a whole. Some say that the film villainizes those who struggle with mental illnesses such as other films have like Split. Others have commented that it is raising awareness for the prevalence of mental health in our society and the blindness of most people to it.
**Potential Spoilers of Bird Box**
The crux of the film centers around the immediate presence of demonic-like creatures who, once looked at, cause the person to commit suicide. You are never shown what these creatures are or how exactly they affect those who look at them, but the results are dire. Many of their victims begin to hear voices or see a great fear that drives them to suicide.
Some speculations are that these monsters represent depression, something that is equally as difficult to identify in another person. They could represent the struggles that people around us face and we so often blind ourselves to because we don't understand.
There is another theory that they represent external fears and dangers that are present when you are raising children. Strong themes of the struggle of motherhood can be felt throughout the entire film, and these monsters could represent the conflict and loneliness of motherhood.
The Interactions
Many theories, including ones that have been corroborated by the director and actors of the film, point to Bird Box depicting the journey of motherhood. Malorie, the main character in the movie, shows that a mother, despite a difficulty connecting with her child, will do anything for her child. Some say that there are ties to antepartum and postpartum depression in the film and how that affects a mother.
Different characters throughout the film are theorized to show different reactions to mental illnesses than others in a commentary of sorts on the society's handling of mental illnesses. Olympia, for example, talks about how she grew up in a "soft" household and is not as tough a Malorie. Malorie exclaims in the beginning that her sister is not someone who gets sad or would commit suicide. This is a common response to suicide in our society. Even the ambassadors for the creatures could be seen as people who have lived with demons before and can understand it. On the flip side, their treatment of people who previously had mental illnesses could be seen as distasteful and villainizing.
Regardless of the actual commentary that the film is expressing, whether positive or negative, there are some things that we can learn from Bird Box. One of which is the ever-present need for trigger warnings to be displayed on films that depict acts that are unsettling to some. Another would be a call to filmmakers to consider the implications their film will have on its viewers who may be struggling with depression, anxiety or other mental illnesses.

Livermore and Pleasanton hit home runs on their border
Uploaded: Feb 1, 2018
The cities of Livermore and Pleasanton have hit economic home runs with the retail developments on their border along Interstate 580. That stands in sharp contrast to the woes that retailers have been facing across the country—particularly in older enclosed malls and strip malls.
The San Francisco Bay Premium Outlets anchor the Livermore side and is a regional magnet for upscale shoppers seeking a bargain. There's 176 stores that draw more than 7 million visitors annually. Buses routinely bring Asian tourists from San Francisco.
On the Pleasanton side, there's two auto dealerships, the large Stoneridge Creek retirement community and the 112,000-square-foot Pacific Pearl Asian-themed shopping center that is 90 percent leased.
The next development on the Livermore side is Republic Square, 22 acres that will provide a mixture of uses. It will include two hotels—a 112-room Marriott Residence Inn and a 104-room Homewood Suites. Both will be welcome for business travelers to the Tri-Valley who struggle to find a room during the business week, although construction will start this year and occupancy is expected in 2020.
Republic Square will feature 65,000 square feet of restaurants and shops that has been 40 percent preleased according to the developer. The mix of uses will complement the outlet with a choice of restaurants and entertainment options. Ground breaking will be this summer.
The Shoppes at Livermore is under construction and will add another 125,000-square-feet of space focused on discount retailers.
That's lots of sales tax generation and cash going to the cities with virtually no impact on any neighborhoods. The Livermore side is isolated by the Las Positas Golf Course, while most of the shoppers come right off I-580 and do not travel through either community—all bets are off in the crazy days around Thanksgiving and during the holiday shopping season.
The situation is similar on the Dublin side where the Fallon Gateway center thrives with a mix of retailers that include big boxes (Target and Dick's Sporting Goods) as well as restaurants and smaller shops. Minimal, if any impact on neighborhoods.

text:
Goderam (, gelegentlich auch Goderamus, Goderannus oder Goderammus, * vor 975; † 30. Juni 1030 in Hildesheim) war ein Benediktinermönch in Köln und Hildesheim und seit 1022 erster Abt des Klosters St. Michaelis in Hildesheim. Er war Besitzer und Kenner der ältesten überlieferten, in karolingischer Zeit entstandenen Handschrift der Zehn Bücher über Architektur von Vitruv und, soweit dies anhand der durch "Überlieferungs-Chance und Überlieferungs-Zufall" bestimmten Quellenlage gesagt werden kann, architectus caementarius, also ausführender Architekt, vermutlich beim Ausbau von St. Pantaleon in Köln Ende des 10. Jahrhunderts und möglicherweise auch beim Bau der Michaeliskirche in Hildesheim zu Beginn des 11. Jahrhunderts.

Leben
Goderam war Sohn eines Markgrafen und wurde Geistlicher. Er war Dompropst in Köln, bevor er gegen Ende des 10. Jahrhunderts Propst (Abt-Stellvertreter) am Benediktinerkloster St. Pantaleon in Köln wurde, das noch unter Otto I. von dessen Bruder Brun gegründet worden war.
Im Herbst des Jahres 1022 wurde Goderam von Bischof Bernward als erster Abt des Benediktinerklosters St. Michaelis in Hildesheim eingesetzt. Er starb am 30. Juni 1030.

Zehn Bücher über Architektur von Vitruv

Das Werk Zehn Bücher über Architektur von Vitruv aus dem 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr. war in rund 80 mittelalterlichen Manuskripten erhalten. In der ältesten dieser mittelalterlichen Kopien, die wahrscheinlich nach 800 am Hofe Karls des Großen angefertigt worden ist, finden sich bemerkenswerterweise vier Randbemerkungen Goderams und auch der Name und Titel des Propstes Goderamnus neben der Zeichnung eines außergewöhnlichen, aus Sichelbögen zusammengesetzten Kreuzes. Es befindet sich auf einer von drei Rückseiten der Handschrift, die freibleiben mussten, weil das Pergament für ein beidseitiges Beschreiben zu dünn war. Die Handschrift befindet sich heute als Codex Harley Manuskript 2767 im Besitz der British Library in London.

Goderams Eintragungen in das Manuskript haben zu vielen Spekulationen über ihn Anlass gegeben. Die über das ganze Werk verstreuten vier Marginalien zeigen zumindest, dass sich Goderam intensiv mit Vitruvs Werk beschäftigt hat. Es war für einen Mönch, der keinen Besitz haben durfte, sehr ungewöhnlich, Klostereigentum mit dem eigenen Namen zu versehen und auch mit Randbemerkungen zu kommentieren. Die überlieferten späteren Eigentümer der Handschrift lassen es plausibel erscheinen, dass Goderam das Werk nicht mit nach Hildesheim genommen hat, sondern es in Köln in St. Pantaleon zurückließ.

Diskussion von Goderams Bedeutung in der mediävistischen Literatur

Goderam hat sich offenbar intensiv mit Vitruvs Werk über die Architektur beschäftigt. Es ist sicher nicht abwegig, in ihm einen Baumeister und "architectus caementarius" zu sehen, einen Architekten im modernen Sinne, der Baupläne entwirft und zeichnet und die Bauarbeiter und Maurer anleitet und beaufsichtigt.

Es ist durchaus denkbar, dass Goderam, der Propst unter dem Abt Everger an St. Pantaleon in Köln war, die Verlängerung der Halle und den Neubau des Westwerks der Klosterkirche geleitet hat, einen Ausbau dieser frühromanischen Kirche, den die Kaiserin Theophanu noch in Auftrag gegeben hatte, der aber erst 1002, über 10 Jahre nach dem Tode der Kaiserin, fertiggestellt wurde.

Bernward, der Erzieher Ottos III., des Sohnes der verwitweten Kaiserin und Regentin, lernte Goderam wohl bereits 991 bei den Beisetzungsfeierlichkeiten für die überraschend verstorbene und in St. Pantaleon bestattete Theophanu kennen, noch bevor er 993 zum Bischof von Hildesheim ernannt wurde. Denkbar ist, dass Bernward sich an der Baustelle der eindrucksvollen Basilika St. Pantaleon von der Kompetenz Goderams als Baumeister überzeugen konnte.

Bernwards Pläne zur Gründung eines Benediktinerklosters auf einem Hügel unweit des Hildesheimer Doms müssen schon bald nach seinem Amtsantritt 993 konkrete Formen angenommen haben, so dass seine Bemühungen um einen kompetenten Architekten ihn wohl den Kontakt zu Goderam erneuern ließen, in dem er überdies auch noch einen begabten Metallurgen und Gold- und Silberschmied zu schätzen wusste.

In der mediävistischen Literatur ist allerdings die Frage, seit wann genau Goderam in Hildesheim war, durchaus strittig; zwischen 996, 1016 und 1022 schwanken die Daten, die mit unterschiedlichen Argumenten begründet und verworfen werden.

So schreibt z. B. Christoph Schulz-Mons:

Und Günther Binding ist sich sicher:

Als dokumentarisch belegbare Zeit für die Berufung Goderams zum Abt des Klosters St. Michaelis bleibt aber nur der Herbst 1022, wahrscheinlich ein Tag in der Woche zwischen dem 3. und 11. November 1022.

Die von den Mönchen von St. Michael seit den Gründungstagen geführten Chroniken des Michaelisklosters in Form von Kurzbiographien der Äbte liefern wiederum ein anderes Bild. Hiernach wird Goderam von Bischof Bernward bereits im Jahre 996 zum Abt eingesetzt.

Diese Quelle stammt in der hier überlieferten Form aus dem Jahre 1521. Schulz-Mons weist detailliert nach, dass diese Zeitangaben sicher nicht korrekt sein können, da der Baubeginn der Michaeliskirche hier, mit keiner sonstigen Quelle verträglich, viel zu früh angesetzt wird. Es scheinen zum Dom gehörige Geistliche mit Brüdern des Klosters verwechselt worden zu sein.

Binding zitiert eine weitere Quelle, diesmal eine Liste der Äbte und Pröpste aus dem Kloster St. Pantaleon in Köln. Diese enthält zwar kein ausdrückliches Datum für den Baubeginn oder -fortschritt, setzt aber die Ernennung Goderams zum Abt in eine zeitliche Folge zu dem Kirchenbau von St. Michaelis:

Hieraus folge, so Binding, zweierlei: dass Goderam erst als Abt nach Hildesheim kam und dass bei seiner Einsetzung die Kirche schon gebaut war (insignis Monasterii S. Michaelis intra Hildesium ab eodem recens fundati et constructi).

Unbeschadet dieser entgegenstehenden Tatsachen bleibt es aber wenigstens vorstellbar, dass Goderam schon während der Planungs- und Bauzeit der Michaeliskirche in Hildesheim war, ein Gedanke, der manchen Historiker fasziniert. So könne die Arbeitsteilung zwischen dem Bauherren, dem Bischof Bernward, der als architectus sapiens die ecclesia spiritualis als "himmlisches Jerusalem" konzipiert, und dem Bauleiter und eigentlichen Architekten, dem architectus caementarius, der die ecclesia materialis realisiert, wunderbar überhöht werden.

Hans Roggenkamp etwa schreibt:

Ganz im Sinne dieser Arbeitsteilung sieht Nico Strube in dem Zusammenwirken von Bernward und Goderam im Geiste Vitruvs beim Bau der Michaeliskirche nicht nur den Einfluss rationaler Kräfte auf St. Michael, sondern das Wirken einer besonderen Spiritualität.

The Patterson, Acheson, Shaub, Dorwart and Thomas Mathematics Application Projects (MAPPS) Award
The Patterson, Acheson, Shaub, Dorwart, Thomas Applied Mathematics Award is established by former students in memory of the named W&J mathematics professors. The award is a monetary stipend to encourage students to pursue projects in which they investigate the application of mathematics to a problem in one of the sciences, business, economics, industry, government, or some other discipline. Project ideas.
The Purpose of the Award is to:
Stimulate interest in the applications of mathematics to problem solving and decision-making in the sciences, business, economics, industry, government, and other disciplines.
Involve students of mathematics as well as students of other disciplines in projects, which require the application of mathematics to real world problems.
Attract more students to the study of mathematics because of their interest in its many and varied applications.
How the Award/Project Works:
The award is a monetary one to students who successfully complete an approved project of investigation in an application of mathematics. The current amount of each award is $300.
The number of awards depends on the availability of funds provided by the endowment established for this purpose. Consideration will be given to requests for modest expense allowances if the proposal demonstrates a substantive benefit to the project.
Most projects will be similar to an independent study investigation of a real world problem by application of mathematical principles. Solution of a problem should not be viewed as the highest purpose of the project as what is learned during its conduct is often more important than its full resolution. The level of each project will be established by its proposal rather than by these criteria. In some cases students will investigate matters already solved using mathematics. In others they may investigate some element of a problem or seek solution to simplified versions of problems. This is not to limit the character of projects undertaken, but to demonstrate by example how different levels of endeavor are anticipated from one project to another.
The student may be a major in any discipline. Students interested in pursuing such a project would seek out a faculty advisor, from any discipline, who will help them formulate the project and seek its approval. All faculty members should encourage their better students to pursue such a project regardless of discipline. Formulation of a proposal could involve contacting someone outside the College that works in the discipline of interest, or in an industry that might support a student intern to examine a problem. Collaborative student projects and cooperation between award winners should be encouraged.
The Application Procedure.Proposals will be submitted to the Chairman of the Mathematics Department not less than 3 weeks before the academic term (or summer interval) in which the project will commence and should include:
A description of the problem to be investigated, the areas of mathematics expected to be involved, how the project will be conducted, and what accomplishments are anticipated. The endorsement of a faculty member who agrees to advise the student throughout the project.
A statement of the intended duration of the project. Projects should fall within one academic year.
How and when the results of the project will be presented. (An oral presentation is strongly recommended.)
Any request for funds to meet project expenses with an explanation of why additional funds are necessary for or would enhance the conduct of the project. The Dean of the College, the Chair of the Mathematics Department, and the Head of the Division of Science and Mathematics will decide approval of proposals and associated funding. Applicants will be notified as soon as possible after receipt of application and prior to the term in which the project is scheduled to begin.
Students have the option of seeking academic credit for their projects through independent study, internship, or honors under the usual rules and regulations of the College.
Projects already approved and/or supported by other departments are eligible for consideration as interdisciplinary projects in their entirety or in part. The award funds will be presented at the successful completion of the project, and appropriate recognition included in the Commencement program and ceremonies. Funds awarded to cover specific costs during the project will be released as required.

Alwa's Legacy Review (Switch)
A few years ago Elden Pixels released a great NES inspired Metroidvania adventure called Alwa's Awakening. The 8-bit aesthetic was one of the best recreations around and the game itself played much better than the most of the NES games is was inspired by. Unfortunately, it seems to have been overlooked by a large portion of gamers. Alwa's Legacy is the sequel and sees the series move from its 8-bit roots to embrace the extra colours and processing power of the 16-bit era.
Setting any game in what many consider to be the golden age of gaming is a brave move. But Elden Pixels have proved with Alwa's Awakening that they know exactly how to make something that both feels legitimate to the time and has an overall quality that is apparent in every aspect of the game. With that in mind we already knew that Legacy was going to be an adventure worth our time.
The game pretty much follows the same layout as its predecessor. You play Zoe again who needs to adventure around the world, picking up abilities as she goes and finding a host of magical stones in order to beat an evil big bad. You know how these things go, the plot is not overly deep or original but the characters are nice and real focus is in the adventure rather than the story.
So it's lucky that the actual adventuring aspect of the game is excellent. Zoe herself controls well and the general flow of progression is satisfying. There were a few occasions where we got stuck for a while but a look at the map and some quiet reflection soon gave us some leads and off we went once more. It is worth noting though that sometimes patience is key with Legacy as there is little in the way of hand holding with regards to your next objective. Villagers will offer advice but even that can lead you to some dead ends.
On one particulate occasion we had just trekked around to get a key to enter a dark catacomb only to then be told we needed a light source. No problem, we had been given a hint to a location and off we went. The only thing was when we got there the guy we had been told about didn't have any further information and the head scratching began.
Still, if you are going to be stuck wandering around a world it's nice that this one looks so lovely. The 16-bit style has been well implemented meaning there is a consistent thematic look but also that each area has some of its own characteristics which stop things becoming monotonous. It's also really nice to see one of these games that embraces a bright colour palette. Everything else that comes out at the minute seems to be trying to out 'Dark Souls' itself in the levels of gloom it can put on screen. This is nicely complimented by some great music that may well spark a few retro memories of their own – especially in the castle.
Alwa's Legacy does do things a little different to your standard Metroidvania in that a lot of your abilities are gained fairly early on. Yes, you will be picking things up that allow you to run across spikes or breathe under water but your main three spells are with you for much of the game. In order to get around and solve puzzles Zoe can create a block, a floating bubble or a bolt of lightning.
These three can also be combined in a few ways and the real core of the game is about using these mechanics together to hit switches or get through obstacles. The skills can be upgraded by collecting orbs from around the world but apart from making unbreakable bubbles much of the game is traversable without doing this.
Overall, Alwa's Legacy is a beautifully designed follow up to Alwa's Awakening. Its expands and develops on ideas and concepts present in the first game while also presenting a different enough experience to make revisiting the original feel worthwhile. There's not a bad element in Legacy with everything coming together in an assured and nostalgically comforting way to produce a game that thrives on the spirit of adventure and fun. There's an absolute deluge of this type of game around at the minute but Legacy has a look and feel that really does make it stand out from the crowd.

Army Cmdr. predicts Syrian domination 'ultimately all over country'
TEHRAN, May 25 (MNA) – Commander of Army Ground Forces has said in the near future, Syrian flag will fly almost in all parts of the country.
Brig. Gen. Ahmad Reza Pourdastan who was speaking to the press after participating in a ceremony to honor Army Navy rangers in historic Liberation of Khorramshahr in 1981 on Wednesday in Tehran, said that as soldiers of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, "we would serve in any geographical setting under the command of the Leader as the Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces."
"The latest developments on the ground in Syria indicate that government forces would only require Iran's army personnel's advisory help; our counselling aid has helped Syrian government forces to implement its plans very well," Pourdastan emphasized. "The realities of the fronts show triumph of Syrian army and in the future, it is predictable that Syrian flag would fly almost in all parts of the country."
Pourdastan then addressed threats facing the Islamic Republic of Iran in what he called 'asymmetric space' and in an atmosphere of proxy wars and mercenaries; "we have been regularly watching the threats and will create new capabilities in line with these threats," he told the press.
Pourdastan attributed liberation of Khorramshahr to 'solidarity, unity, and self-belief' then very strong among the army and IRGC forces which were instilled by the leadership with a spirit of success; "the imperialist plots designed for Iraqi Baathist army unraveled through a resistance exemplary of our valiant warriors to embrace the victory," he asserted.

Fortnite Reveals 2 Upcoming Fan-Made Winter Skins
Heavy on Fortnite
By	Eli Becht
The part of Fortnite that has grown the most since its release is the Item Shop, and that has proven to be the cash cow that allows the game to continue to thrive.
Throughout much of Chapter 2, the Item Shop has been carried by collaborations and there always feels like there's something new on the horizon.
For example, we had LeBron James, Ariana Grande, Bloodsport, Gamora and now Wonder Woman is a span of just a few weeks. There's also something coming, and now Epic Games gave us our first look at a pair of skins that are coming later on this year.
Epic announced the winners of the Concept Royale on August 19, and these two winners will have their skins immortalized into Fortnite. This contest was a way for artists to get their work put into Fortnite, which is something a lot of players have been dying to do.
Let's take a look at what's coming.
2 New Skins
Congratulations to @lbdart_ and @AltaCalls, our Concept Royale winners 🎉
We can't wait to see their concepts turned into in-game Outfits this Winter.
And a big thank you to everyone who shared their chilly creations with us. We are always in awe of your creativity 😍 pic.twitter.com/QVTCh2WvRw
— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) August 19, 2021
The two winners were announced on Twitter, and later on this year, players can look forward to getting their hands on Nalia and the Frigid Forgoer.
Created by community members lbdart_ and AltaCalls respectively, these two skins have a snowy theme, so it makes sense that they'll be releasing in the winter.
Nalia is being billed as the "fierce guardian" of the frozen forests, and it doesn't seem like a place like that would apply to Fortnite, but the good news is that it doesn't have to at all.
It's unclear if Epic will change the name of anything when the skin releases, but for the time being, her pickaxe will be the Custodian Clow and the Back Bling is named Bird of the forest.
As for the Frigid Forgoer, details are a lot more scarce. The only information we have about this upcoming character is that he's "thawed and ready for revenge."
From the looks of him, it looks like he's some sort of frozen bounty hunter that has been unearthed, so he definitely has a cool appearance to look forward to.
When Are They Coming Out?
We don't have any information about the official release date outside of winter, so we're likely still a few months out from these ones at least.
Luckily, there are plenty of new cosmetics that hit the shop daily, with Alien Bill being one of the most recent ones.
Another thing we don't know all that much about is the pricing of these bundles. It can cost upwards of 2,000 V-Bucks, but we won't really have to worry about that until later this year.
With so many more skins coming out between now and then, chances are pretty good that you'll forget all about these skins until they actually release. We also can't forget about the recently-announced bundle that'll be hitting physical retailers in time for the holidays.
We'll also be quite deep into a new season by then, so there will be a whole-new theme to experience and we'll have to wait and see where Epic decides to go from aliens.

Q: How would I go about fixing my PHP calculator Hey guys im working on a PHP calculator for school and I cant seem to get it to work. I am not good with PHP and cant figure it out. When I run it under membership and calculate total no matter what option I choose it automatically switches it to the Gold membership. Any ideas? Below is the code:
<?php
$tax = 0;
$total = 0;
$membership = "gold";
$tennis = "no";
$racquetball = "no";
$golf = "no";
$child_care = "no";
$personal_trainer = "no";
$swimming_pool = "no";

function test_input($data) {
    $data = trim($data);
    $data = stripslashes($data);
    $data = htmlspecialchars($data);
    return $data;
}

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    if (!empty($_POST["tax"])) {
        $tax = test_input($_POST["tax"]);
    }

    if ($membership == "basic") {
        $total = 80;
    }
    elseif ($membership == "platinum") {
        $total = 100;
    }
    else {
        $total = 120;
    }

    if (isset($_POST["tennis"])) {
        $tennis = "yes";
        $total = $total + 15;
    }
    if (isset($_POST["racquetball"])) {
        $racquetball = "yes";
        $total = $total + 20;
    }
    if (isset($_POST["golf"])) {
        $golf = "yes";
        $total = $total + 25;
    }

    if (isset($_POST["child_care"])) {
        $child_care = "yes";
        $total = $total + 15;
    }
    if (isset($_POST["personal_trainer"])) {
        $personal_trainer = "yes";
        $total = $total + 20;
    }
    if (isset($_POST["swimming_pool"])) {
        $swimming_pool = "yes";
        $total = $total + 25;
    }

    $total = $total + $total * $tax;
    $total = round($total, 2);
}

I looked at the  I have for gold and it doesnt look like I did anything wrong.

A: Because you put the value of membership as gold in line 4. You missed calling the post request of membership after submitting
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    if (!empty($_POST["tax"])) {
        $tax = test_input($_POST["tax"]);
    }
    $membership=$_POST["membership"];
    if ($membership == "basic") {
        $total = 80;
    }

add this line $membership=$_POST["membership"];

Jewels XOXO 8 February 2023
Design is about improving things and about looking to the future, pushing the technology forward. For me, as a designer, it is a great opportunity to improve on what is already out there, to simplify, beautify, and technologically improve.
Born in Sydney in 1963, Marc Newson spent his childhood traveling in Europe and Asia. His mother took a job working for a leading Australian architecture firm, exposing Newson to design at early age. He attended Sydney College of the Arts to study jewelry and sculpture, graduating in 1984. Newson was awarded a grant from the Australian Crafts Council to stage his first exhibition where he presented his Lockheed Lounge Chair that would be purchased by the National Gallery of Southern Australia. Newson moved to Tokyo in 1989 where he met the owner of Idée, Teuro Kurosaki with whom he would produce numerous designs for over the years. From Tokyo, Newson moved to Paris before settling in London and opening his own design studio, Marc Newson Ltd. Not one to be categorized, Newson has designed cars, jets, and watches in addition to his iconic furniture. In 2005, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world. His work is housed in the collections of several major museums around the globe including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris.

Q: PHP regular expressions to filter results I have a list of several email addresses which look like the following
smtp:email1@myemail.com
smtp:email2@something.myemail.com
SMTP:email3@myemail.com
X400: //some random line

Is there any way I can only get the emails which only end in myemail.com?  So from the above, this would be
email1@myemail.com
email3@myemail.com

So it should get rid of any random lines, and it should also ignore it if there is anything else in the string e.g. something.
I have managed to get some data by doing
([a-zA-Z]+)(@)

Probably not the best way but it gets me whats infront of the @ sign.  Any help filtering these out appreciated.
Thanks

A: You may want to use a regex to filter only emails from domain myemail.com:
<?php

$emailList = <<< LOL
smtp:email1@myemail.com
smtp:email2@something.myemail.com
SMTP:email3@myemail.com
X400: //some random line
LOL;

preg_match_all('/smtp:(.*?@myemail\.com)$/im', $emailList , $matches, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
print_r($matches[1]);

/*
Array
(
    [0] => email1@myemail.com
    [1] => email3@myemail.com
)
*/

Demo:
http://ideone.com/hcd0aa

Regex Explanation:
smtp:(.*?@myemail\.com)$

Options: Case insensitive; Exact spacing; Dot doesn't match line breaks; ^$ don't match at line breaks; Greedy quantifiers

Match the character string "smtp:" literally «smtp:»
Match the regex below and capture its match into backreference number 1 «(.*?@myemail\.com)»
   Match any single character that is NOT a line break character «.*?»
      Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed (lazy) «*?»
   Match the character string "@myemail" literally «@myemail»
   Match the character "." literally «\.»
   Match the character string "com" literally «com»
Assert position at the end of the string, or before the line break at the end of the string, if any «$»

State Rep. Richard Peña Raymond said Tuesday he passed legislation to remove the toll on Camino Colombia, or State Highway 255, making it the first road statewide to have its toll removed.
Raymond said motorists were not using the 22-mile stretch that connects the Colombia Solidarity International Bridge to Interstate 35 because of the cost.
A private vehicle pays about $3 to $5 while a commercial vehicle pays approximately $5 to $20, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
"Starting Sept. 1, it's free," Raymond said.
Raymond pointed out that the Webb County Commissioners Court and the City of Laredo passed resolutions supporting his bill.
"Because we're the No. 1 inland port, we experience a high volume in traffic. I think that by eliminating the toll at Camino Colombia, it will allow for commerce to flow more efficiently and elevate traffic in other parts of the county. I applaud Rep. Raymond for his efforts in this matter," said Webb County Judge Tano Tijerina in a statement.
For Mayor Pete Saenz, this was "wonderful news."
"We really believe that this will encourage further economic development along the Camino Colombia area. When we visited Rep. Raymond and all of our legislators in Austin this past January, we articulated this request," Saenz said in a statement.
He added, "I know that it is very important to our Nuevo Leon neighbors and I personally want to thank (Raymond), Rep. Ryan Guillen and Rep. Tracy O. King for helping to move this amendment through. It's a win for Laredo."
The passage of the bill could also alleviate traffic.
"It's also going to help tremendously with the Mines Road traffic because now all the traffic goes south (on Mines Road) to try to cross over to I-35, now that traffic can split up by coming up north and go down Camino Colombia because they will no longer have to pay a toll," Raymond said.
Raymond added that not having a toll benefits the Mexican side in Nuevo Leon.
"They had indicated that they were interested on investing more on the infrastructure on the Mexican side, not only on the bridge and those facilities but the highways to Monterrey. But they made public statements saying having that toll road there just made it difficult," Raymond said.
"Removing this toll road, we believe, is going to mean more investment on the Mexican side for their infrastructure."
Furthermore, Raymond said he foresees investment and development in the area. With the increase in cargo traffic, more jobs will be created on both sides of the border, he said.

Q: returning random int from method to array In my code i have static int method that should return an array of random integers. The problem is when i print an array, only the last number is random int, and other ints are all zeros.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    int a = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
    int[] array = mtd(a);
    for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(array[i]);
    }
}
public static int[] mtd(int b)
{
    int[] arr = new int[b];
    Array.Resize<int>(ref arr, b);
    Random rand = new Random();
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
    {
        arr.SetValue(rand.Next(1, 5), arr.Length - 1);
    }
    return arr;
}

A: In the for loop in your method mtd you are always setting the last value of your array arr by using arr.Length - 1. Use i instead:
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
    arr[i] = rand.Next(1, 5);
}

Or with arr.SetValue:
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
    arr.SetValue(rand.Next(1, 5), i);
}

A: Working one :
public static int[] mtd(int b)
    {
        int[] arr = new int[b];
        Random rand = new Random();
        for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
        {
            arr.SetValue(rand.Next(1, 5), i);
        }
        return arr;
    }

EDIT : Btw the Array.resize is useless here, you already define the length of your array.  ( new int[b] set the length of the array to b )
Your problem was that you never used i, so you just set the value of the last value of your array.

A: I modified and simplified your code:
    public static int[] mtd(int b)
    {
        int[] arr = new int[b];
        Random rand = new Random();
        for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
            arr[i] = rand.Next(1, 5);
        return arr;
    }

Glass-Steagall Act – What It is And Do We Need It?
The Glass-Steagall Act (GSA) came into being in 1933, tightening the regulations on the commercial banks. It followed the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression. At the time, the commercial bank's over-involvement in the stock market was seen as the primary reason for the financial crash. Thus, GSA separated investment and commercial banking activities.

2 Glass-Steagall Act – What it Did?
3 Partial Repeal of Glass-Steagall
4 Reinstating Glass-Steagall Act
What was the Need for the Glass-Steagall Act?
Commercial banks during the pre-Depression era were accused of being over speculative in their stock market investment. They not only invested in the stocks but also purchased new issues with an aim to resell to the public. Moreover, the banks also acted irresponsibly while giving loans. The commercial banks not only gave unsound loans to the companies in which they invested but also encouraged their clients to invest in the same stocks.
After the market crashed in 1929, depositors wanted to withdraw their funds. However, they were unable to do so as banks lost their money in the stock market. Thus, as an emergency measure to address the failure of about 5000 banks at the time, the Glass-Steagall Act was passed.
Glass-Steagall Act – What it Did?
Senator Carter Glass is majorly responsible for the Glass-Steagall Act. He was a former Treasury secretary and the founder of the U.S. Federal Reserve System. Henry Bascom Steagall, the chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee and member of the House of Representatives at the time, agreed to back the act.
The Glass-Steagall Act is a set of provisions under the broader Banking Act of 1933. GSA came with two objectives – to end the speculative practices by the banks and restore the public confidence in the U.S. banking system.
The Great Depression was majorly the result of commercial banks handling two roles together – investment banking and retail banking. So, GSA separated investment banking from the retail banking. Such a measure made sure that the depositors' funds were not put in risky investments.
GSA also ensured that investment banks don't own a controlling stake in the retail banks. Further, it stipulated that the bank officials must not borrow too much from the bank they work with. More importantly, GSA also created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which guaranteed bank deposits up to a specified limit.
Additionally, GSA also introduced Regulation Q, prohibiting banks from paying interest on the demand deposits. The Regulation Q also restricted the interest rates on other types of deposits.
Partial Repeal of Glass-Steagall
After GSA became law, many in the banking industry were complaining of it being overprotective. Those against argued that GSA limited their ability to compete with the foreign financial firms that offer more returns. After decades of lobbying, some of the GSA provisions were called-off in 1999, when Congress signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
After the repeal, the investment and retail banks consolidated via financial holding companies, which were monitored by the Federal Reserve. Since monitoring was still there, only a few banks were able to take advantage of the repeal. And, those who did became too big to fall. Thus, such banks needed to be bailed out after the 2008-2009 crash to avoid another depression.
Many say that the Glass-Steagall Act repeal was partially responsible for the 2008-09 financial crises.
Reinstating Glass-Steagall Act
Following the 2008-2009 crises, efforts were underway to reinstate the GSA Act. For instance, in 2011, efforts were made to repeal the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and reintroduce the Glass-Steagall. However, the banks argued that the provisions of the act would make them uncompetitive on the global scale.
Glass-Steagall Act, if passed, would lead to a massive restructuring of the banking system. Currently, the largest banks are the commercial banks with investment banking divisions, like Citibank. So, reorganization under the GSA would make these banks comparatively smaller than their global counterpart.
Despite the opposition, efforts are possibly still underway to reinstate the GSA. Donald Trump, during his 2016 presidential campaign, hinted of bringing back the GSA. Then, in 2017, Trump's head of the National Economic Council – Gary Cohn, suggested of reinstating the act to restructure the big banks. Also, senators supporting the idea (John McCain and Elizabeth Warren) came up with a draft of the 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act bill.

Memories: Friends and Boundaries
Summer, barefoot. Just after dawn I listen to the whiz-snap of the screen door closing behind me to take in the fresh new day, the first day in our new yard. Full and thick viburnum and arborvitae bushes crowd the boundaries of the suburban lot and a pear tree with tiny fruit stands in the middle, gold in the brightening sun. In my five-year-old mind the very idea that real pears can be picked in your very own yard is thrilling. In the faint breeze I smell the chlorine in the neighbor's built-in pool and hear the hum of the filter.
"We are a little land. And little lands on the borders of a great empire were always hateful to the lords of the great empire. He longs to blot them out, gobble them up."
― C.S. Lewis, The Horse and His Boy
It seems to me now that I stood there all morning taking in the activities of the adults moving in furniture while talking in that nervous way with the new neighbors, hoping to make good impressions while slightly annoyed at their curiosity. When we lived in the cottage by the river, I used to call to a blind girl who lived down the street asking her to come play, but because of her disability, it was too dangerous for her to cross the road.
As the crickets sing and the birds nap in the other big tree of the yard, curiosity seeking children like their parents begin to congregate in the shade. My sister and I gawk at the kids wearing delighted smiles at the prospect of new blood in the neighborhood.
A girl about my age suddenly enters my awareness. I hadn't noticed her arrival. As if too downtrodden to stand, the girl sits, eyes downcast into her folded hands, in the lap of a curly-haired and beaded teenaged girl in bell-bottomed jeans. She wears feathered earrings that brush against the sad girl's frowsy brown hair.
Boys pedal over on their plastic Big Wheels vying for attention while a group of girls whisper amongst themselves, glancing occasionally the sad girl's way. Finally, the girls come beside me.
"You can't be friends with her," one says. "She's corroded."
I have no idea what that means, but I don't like their tone and what it suggests though at the time I don't know if I understood anything about warfare and propaganda.
I walk up to the forbidden girl and stand there staring down at her, looking for defects. I glance back once at the others. The hippie teenager speaks first. "This is Monique. Can she be your friend?"
I take Monique's hand and pull her to her feet. Our friendship is instant and lasting.
I found out soon after, that Monique was the victim of being from the wrong family. The edict against her came not from the other kids but from their parents' sick form of justice and sense of territorial rights. Many of the neighbors were related, but Monique's family was not. Our family had gained instant access because my father was a police officer and the patriarch of the main family on the block owned a bar that sometimes caused him trouble. My father was good at de-escalating fights and also amused the old man. Monique's brother had played at wrestling with one of the many cousins and by mistake cut off the boy's air for a few seconds until the boy had passed out.
It was as if Monique's brother John was a murderer and the entire family responsible for his depravity. From then on Monique wasn't allowed in people's pools or yards even. My mother found this so disgusting that she forced my father to buy us a cheap above-ground pool so that Monique could swim with the rest of us, despite the fact that my parents were afraid of water.
"The history of interactions among disparate peoples is what shaped the modern world through conquest, epidemics and genocide. Those collisions created reverberations that have still not died down after many centuries, and that are actively continuing in some of the world's most troubled areas."
― Jared Diamond, Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
Monique and I were both creative and spent hours and days painting, drawing, building, and exploring the world together. We were inseparable. Yet in so much of our play there was friction and the idea of conquest. We built forts down by a polluted stream. Usually, she and I were on the same side, but occasionally we were on opposing teams. We'd fight like mad for supremacy — which meant owning both sides of the water. When swimming the kids played shark, chasing each other around in the water. Once Monique got so into the game mentally that she jumped from the pool in terror and fell from the deck in a heap on the mud.
On a recliner in the living room, we'd play fight for hours, trying to throw the other person off until a parent yelled for us to shut up and stop rough housing. Once Monique got so mad at my bullying that we had an actual blood-letting fight. The other kids, who by now had broken ranks with their parents and played with Monique, cheered us on — mostly cheering for Monique because I was truly being a bully that day. We fought with kids from other streets. We ran away from the teenagers who smoked down by the stream sitting astride a big drainage pipe. They were fearsome enemies. We never dared go near their part of the stream when they were around and would scatter if we saw them coming.
The neighbors used to walk across our front lawn to visit with their cousins. This really got on my mother's nerves because she was trying to grow grass on the sandy soil. They were no respecter of boundaries, and my mother wasn't any good at setting boundaries. My father kept weird hours and often worked the night shift. He'd come home, eat breakfast and play records at deafening volumes. My mother, drinking her coffee and smoking her cigarettes, hated the noise but enjoyed it just a bit as payback for the neighbors infringing on her peace.
Despite all of this, our neighborhood was relatively peaceful. I wonder what makes conflict go hot. I wonder why even as children we fight so hard over territory. When we played Barbie dolls my grandmother thoughtlessly gave us my aunt's Barbie collection and all of the handmade and insanely intricate furniture my grandfather had made for her. The lights on the end tables worked, the furniture was upholstered and there was so much of it all.
You would think this might have made us careful, but it did the opposite. We came up with rules for engagement. We'd pile the entire treasure before us and count to three. At three we would lunge in like hordes of barbarians, grabbing what we could, wrestling chairs and lampshades free from the grimy hands of our foes until within about six months everything was broken or lost.
Greater in battle
than the man who would conquer
a thousand-thousand men,
is he who would conquer
just one —
My parents both had hearts for the underdog and a strong belief in redemption. They set pretty good examples, but they could not eradicate warfare in us or anyone else for that matter. We sat around at my uncle's Irish wake watching adults fight over property. Students are taught that Native Americans were robbed of their land. But taking a deeper look we discover that they robbed from their neighbors, too. Conquest, though horrifying, is part of our makeup. Maybe it's because in our personal lives we are so off balance, so fallen and so blind to where our meanness takes us.
I used to fear the Bible and religion because I thought God was wrathful for no good reason. Now I stand in awe that he could love us at all. I can't control the world of conflict we live in, but with blinders off I can sometimes remember to extend a hand to the friendless or forgive another person's lack of boundaries knowing that I am no better than the least of these.
"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."

Indiana makes $320 million error
By: ABC57 Staff
Posted: Dec 14, 2011 8:29 PM EST | Updated: Nov 6, 2014 2:50 PM EST
Indiana made a $320 million mistake, and state democrats are calling for an investigation.
But that's not going to happen.
At a state budget committee meeting on Wednesday morning, the Republican majority rejected the proposal.
Because of a coding error in 2007, corporate income taxes paid by electronic check were mistakenly put into a holding account, and were not credited to the General Fund until last week.
"And I think when you have an error of this magnitude, I don't think the citizens of the State of Indiana, at this point, will be satisfied with the investigation," said John Broden, (D) South Bend.
On Wednesday, Broden also compared the state's investigation to "The fox guarding the henhouse."

Home Health Covid-19: Nigeria Records 10 New Cases of Dreaded Delta Variant
Covid-19: Nigeria Records 10 New Cases of Dreaded Delta Variant
Nigeria has so far recorded 10 new cases of the Delta COVID-19 variant.
The Director-General, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu disclosed this at the ministerial briefing on COVID-19 in Abuja,
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Delta variant is recognised by the World Health Organisation as a variant of concern, given its increased transmissibility.
The variant has so far been detected in over 90 countries.
Ihekweazu, who was represented by Mrs Elsie Ilori, Director of Disease Surveillance Department, while giving an update on Nigeria's COVID-19 situation, said that while progress had been made in response to the ongoing pandemic with the fact-paced development of diagnostic, therapeutic, and vaccines globally, variants of concern with increased transmissibility pose a threat.
"With sequencing efforts, we have detected 10 cases which are confirmed to be the Delta variant.
"We are working hard to ensure genomic surveillance of travellers' samples and to scale up our genomic sequencing capacity.
"While doing this, we are scaling up our testing capability, by the rollout of rapid Diagnostic Test Kits (RTDs), in selected states nationwide.
"As we have mentioned before, we encourage congregate settings, such as hospitals, schools, workplaces and correctional facilities, to take advantage of the WHO, approved RTDs kits to detect cases promptly," he explained.
The NCDC boss disclosed that the country's test positive rate based on Polymerase Chain Reaction test alone, which he noted was an indication used to understand the level of virus transmission increased to 3.4 per cent in the country.
"This represents a rise compared to Test Positivity Rate which was sustained for several weeks at around 1 per cent in the country. In addition, last week five deaths were recorded.
"These figures must serve as a strong warning to be even more on our guard regarding reducing the risk of COVID-19 spread, especially considering the more transmissible Delta variants detected in the country," he advised.
Ihekweazu stressed that Lagos state continued to have the highest contribution to the current caseload in the country.
He noted that states which have recently recorded increases in cases include Akwa Ibom, Ekiti, Oyo and Rivers states.
"Akwa Ibom had a sudden surge in cases in the last week and so, we have deployed a Rapid Response Team, to support the state's response activities.
"The team will support Akwa Ibom's Emergency Operations Centre incident management systems, ensure smooth running of samples collection centres, laboratory cases detection and general coordination," he disclosed.
The DG said that while the agency continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was also focusing on other infectious diseases.
"Our response to the cholera outbreak has continued and as of July 22, a total of 22,130 suspected cases and unfortunately 526 deaths, have been reported due to this illness in 18 states and the FCT.
"However, in the last two weeks, a decline in cases has been recorded and the Emergency Operations Centre, in collaboration with the Ministry of Water Resources, National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) and other partners, is continuing to coordinate a multi-sector response," he said.
The NCDC boss noted that the agency always ensured that it made records of challenges from each outbreak and put in measures to improve the next response.
"Last week, NCDC held a national COVID-19 intra action review with various stakeholders to review preparedness and outbreak response, to identify best practices, challenges and propose recommended actions," he noted.
According to Ihekweazu, some areas of response which we are working on are that we have continued to reinvigorate our risk communications efforts, to ensure Nigerians understand that coronavirus is real and still poses a high risk.
The DG added that in a bid to scale the use of RTDs tests, there have been training of trainers on the appropriate and safe use of these kits in several states, including a just concluded training in Bayelsa, and Benue.
Regarding improving surveillance of COVID-19 cases in the country, he added that the agency was training community volunteers to support case finding and contact tracing.
In a related development, the Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire has warned that Nigeria was at risk of registering high incidences of the Delta variant of COVID-19.
This it said was due to neglect of preventive measures at Airports and other points of entry in the country.
Ehanire decried that in spite of evidence of the emergence of a third wave in the country, passengers were absconding quarantine at all points of entry.
The minister also expressed concerns that citizens had refused to adhere to public health advisories, even as treatment bed occupancy was also registering an increase.
He expressed this concern while noting that countries that were popular travel destinations for Nigerians, including the UK, U.S., UAE, France and Turkey had a high incidence of this virulent variant.
"Nigeria is at increased risk if we continue to neglect public health protocols placed at points of entry, which are our first line of defence and a critical point of concern.
"The ministry's Point of Entry (PoE) pillar of the COVID-91 response has been continuously monitoring passenger arrivals especially from high-risk countries like India, Turkey and Brazil.
"This process has been an arduous one given that port health staff have continued to report a trend of absconding by quarantined passengers, an act detrimental to our pandemic response and public health safety.
"The severity of this disease should NOT be disregarded as it is still a primary cause of concern, even in countries with stronger health systems," he said.
The minister, therefore, tasked all persons to comply with the Port Health staff or risk facing sanctions, which included prosecution.
"Non-compliance with their directives constitutes a risk to national health security and will be handled with commensurate severity.
"I wish to reemphasise that we must fervently avoid complacency and continue to abide by the given Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions.
"Remember that Nigeria is a well-traversed country and is susceptible to further importation of the virus, especially when there is clear evidence that the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has begun across the continent," he added.
The minister further stressed that in the past 24 hours, the world witnessed an increase in reported cases of COVID-19 across a significant number of countries, due to the high transmissibility of the Delta Variant.
"As of July 25, Nigeria had a total of 170,895 COVID-19 cases and 2,132 fatalities. There are 4,180 active cases across the country, including 216 new cases recorded in the last 24 hours from 7 states.
"Nigeria started recording an increase in cases after the first case of the delta variant was reported early July," he stressed.
In preparation for the third wave, Ehanire said the ministry had taken steps to urgently scale-up and enhance local oxygen capacity even before oxygen consumption increased.
He also said Nigeria had invested directly and strategically to ensuring oxygen availability to avert unforeseen incidence of oxygen insufficiency for COVID-19 patients in the country.
On COVID-19 vaccines, the minister said that Nigeria was expecting over 29 million of the Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
He said that the vaccine was purchased by the Government of Nigeria through the African Union's African Vaccine Acquisition Task Team (AVATT) facility and over four million of the Moderna.
He also said that Nigeria is expecting almost 700 thousand of the AstraZeneca vaccine, through the COVAX facility from bilateral donations from the governments of the U.S. and the UK as well as Pfizer and Sinopharm from both bilateral agreements and through the COVAX facility.
Also speaking, Minister of State for Health, Sen. Olorunnimbe Mamora said that COVID-19 would continue to have a significant impact on the way Nigerians lived.
Mamora urged Nigerians to stay safe because a large portion of the country remained unvaccinated and highly contagious variants like delta would be spreading as seen in many countries, spurring outbreaks. (NAN)

Families have two opportunities to enjoy a new approach to a timeless children's story when the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel presents Ugly Duckling on Saturday, Jan. 28. Great for ages 5-10, this charming production by the U.K.-based theater group Tutti Frutti brings to life Hans Christian Andersen's well-known tale with a menagerie of mischievous animals, inventive physicality, live music and songs that quack and trill.
The hero of the story, who is considered unattractive and rejected by his siblings, goes on an adventure in search of a place to fit in. Through drama and humor, the production explores the importance of identity and self-worth and takes us on a journey to discover inner beauty.
Tickets start at just $15 for the performances at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Jan. 28 in the Tarkington, the Center's intimate 500-seat theater at 3 Carter Green in Carmel. The event is part of the Center's Old Town Family Series and the 2022-2023 Center Presents Season in partnership with Allied Solutions.
