The Offering by Grace McCleen
It's challenging for an author to write a novel from the point of view of someone in a state of psychosis. There is the danger of romantically characterizing them as being simply misunderstood in their unique perspective of the world. Of course, sometimes this is true and people are institutionalized for the wrong reasons. Yet when representing it in fiction simulating their perspective runs the risk of seeming patronizing and disrespectful to the cruel reality of mental disability. It can easily run into "aren't we all a bit wacky?" territory. Grace McCleen skilfully avoids doing this by writing her narrator Madeline as being canny and withholding to both the psychologist who treats her and the reader of this novel. In doing so, her character retains an essential integrity.
Madeline is a woman in her mid-thirties who has been in a mental infirmary for over twenty years. We first encounter her in the summer of 2010 where she's looked upon with fear by the staff around her. It seems she's committed a heinous crime, yet she seems unaware of any wrongdoing. The novel traces the months leading up to this point by showing her treatment under a doctor who tries to use hypnotism to get her to confront her past. But Madeline is a career patient who has learned to modify her answers when necessary and reveal only what she knows the doctor wants to hear. Interspersed with her sessions we're given accounts of Madeline's childhood through her memories and diary entries. When she was a girl her fundamentalist Christian parents move to an island where they hope to convert and save the population. But this horrendously backfires as they are treated with suspicion and shunned to the point where they become quite desperate to maintain a home and livelihood.
It's touching the way Madeline naturally fears the other children on the island when they first move there and takes their silent observation of her as a damning judgement. She's granted no chance for social interaction as she's homeschooled by her mother. The lessons break down as her mother increasingly suffers from her own mental and physical problems leaving Madeline to formulate her own theories about the way her father's religious ideas can be incorporated into the real world. In the places they move to there are leftover images of Christ and a statue of the Virgin which the father destroys because 'We don't need idols,' my father said. 'We've got the real thing.' Madeline assimilates this belief about having a direct communication with God into the way she interacts with the nature around the farm they move to. She tragically misinterprets natural stages of human development as having religious significance and formulates her own beliefs about what God wants offered to please Him.
While I enjoyed the way McCleen develops her characters and elements of the storyline, there's an intriguing plot point which I felt wasn't really followed through with. When the family move to their farm a strange man suggests to them that a former owner who committed suicide on the property is still there. While I'm glad the novel didn't turn into a kind of ghost story, it felt like this detail could have been incorporated more into Madeline's increasingly skewed perspective of reality and the elements around her. What McCleen does most effectively is depict the deterioration of Madeline's relationship with her mother and father. Communication breaks down as she slips increasingly into her own abstracted reality while they must face a slide into poverty which could leave them desolate.
This novel reminded me somewhat of Claire Fuller's recent novel Our Endless Numbered Days because it shows the way a particularly fanatical parent can traumatically impact their adolescent offspring. In both books a child is removed from the social environment where they were exposed to a plethora of points of view and physically isolated so their perspective of the larger world is damagingly narrowed and their memories become distorted. Although these are extreme examples, both stories have universal meaning particularly because they show the way a dominant patriarchy both subtly and forcefully tries to psychologically enforce dogmatic rules upon women. In the case of "The Offering", Madeline is subject to both her father's stringent religion in adolescence and Doctor Lucas' rigorous new psychological treatment. Both try to dictate to her how she should feel rather than inspire self expression.
"The Offering" is a beautifully written novel which artfully combines different narrative elements which placed against each other offer a unique perspective on memory and belief. Perhaps the Proustian reference in the protagonist's name is a bit unnecessary. But the novel has a clever way of pairing Madeline's experiences in her diary against her recollections as an adult. As she observes at one point: "Memory is a strange thing. It doesn't always retain what we think it will." There is a fascinating compression of time and experience as the narrative becomes increasingly more hallucinatory. Grace McCleen has a talent for portraying a character that eludes being defined as a certain sort of person, but who nonetheless has convictions which she nobly upholds – however misconceived they may be. Madeline's great crisis is that she's not respected as an individual. More than gaining divine favour, Madeline's offerings say more about the experience of giving oneself in love and experiencing disappointment. There's a sad kind of resonance and ominous warning when Madeline realizes that "not all offerings are accepted, not all bargains honoured."

Connected-campus is a new digitally-driven phenomenon being embraced by institutions to create a collaborative environment while aiming to foster learning. Though the nature of 'connected campus' varies depending on institutional setup, there is one aspect common among all such educational institutions: education technology or, as per how they put it nowadays, Edtech. According to Gartner Survey, nearly 59 percent of CIOs anticipate the change in business models as a result of the spurt in digital transformation.
Business leaders in connected education space believe digital technology will attract a significant amount of investments from institutions across the globe. Following are the trends the education technology space is witnessing in the backdrop of the digital revolution.
Unlike traditional classrooms encompassing students seated in rows, connected classrooms will address the challenge of 'student isolation' and create a lasting engagement among students and teachers alike. In addition, it will help create a culture wherein pupils can learn, interact and share ideas whilst having fun.
Analytics tools embedded into student devices will empower them to self-assess their performance without having to depend on their teachers. The machine learning and AI algorithms can play a pivotal role in improving their performance as it will suggest creative ways to improve in areas where the student has difficulty understanding.
By leveraging technology, provides students and teachers to create customized learning modules that enable them to achieve educational goals effortlessly. For instance, the educator can tailor a module having just textual information with pictures and videos while adding more color to the content.
As connected devices are proliferating in connected education space, cybersecurity experts are diverting their investments towards the security of smart devices in the ecosystem. The recent incidents of data breach across a number of institutions have pushed cybersecurity innovators to invent better security products.

With our interactive self-screening you can check if you exhibit early symptoms and therefore have an increased risk of developing a psychiatric illness.
If you recognise more than 6 symptoms in the self-screening questionnaire, you might be asking yourself questions which give rise to uncomfortable emotions and thoughts. For example: "Am I going crazy?" or "Is my mental health in danger?". But even if your risk for a future psychiatric illness is elevated, you are not at the mercy of these risk factors. The earlier a psychosis is detected, the better are the possibilities for treatment to prevent the usually less favorable course of the disease. Today the goal is to discover the emergence of a psychosis as early as possible, and start treatment in the early stages.
You can contact us anytime during consultation-hours or by phone or email. You can also approach us if you are concerned about a person close to you who might exibit signs of a psychosis. We can advise you about possible lines of actions in this case.

School brings in counselors to help cope with girl's death
FAIRFIELD, Calif.
Fairfield police have yet to release the girl's name or officially the cause of death, but Monday at the school where she was last seen last Thursday, her fellow students know exactly who they lost.
Students at Fairfield's Green Valley Middle School say it was a tough day, the first day back after they learned one of their classmates, a seventh grade girl, was found dead in a city park.
"She was really nice to people and she always hugged, like, a lot of us," student Jordan Carrow said.
"She was known a lot, everyone pretty much knew her," student Frankie Torres said.
Police did not release any new details Monday, three days after the 13-year-old's naked body was found in an open area at Allan Witt Park in downtown Fairfield. Investigators canvassed the area around the park over the weekend searching for witnesses. In the meantime, a small memorial has cropped up in the park near where the girl's body was found.
The girl was living in a foster home at the time of the disappearance. It was her foster parents who called police to report her missing Thursday afternoon.
"She was at a good environment at the house, that's all I know," Cheryl Parrish said.
Parrish says she lived in the same home with the same foster parents until last summer.
"They're worried, scared, probably miserable; it breaks their heart, as much as it does mine," she said.
"The foster mother is very loving, kind, she's very protective," Fairfield resident Roshawn Forrest said.
Contacted by ABC7 News, a spokesperson for the agency that placed the girl in the Suisun City foster home said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with anyone who knew this young lady and we will certainly cooperate in any way we can to find those responsible."
Parents at Green Valley Middle School say the murder has prompted some conversations with their kids.
"Just keep an eye out, stick together; even if you're walking down after school, stay together, watch out for each other," parent J.C. McKelvey said.
School officials are planning to address this girl's death with some kind of assembly later this week.
Investigators are still asking anyone with information to contact Fairfield police.

Arson suspected in fire at a PC(USA) church in Springfield, Massachusetts
Disaster Response	 December 28, 2020
Martin Luther King Jr. Community Presbyterian Church suffers heavy damage in Monday morning fire

LOUISVILLE — Massachusetts State Police, local arson investigators and the FBI are investigating the cause of a Monday morning fire that heavily damaged the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Presbyterian Church in Springfield, Massachusetts.
According to a report from WWLP News, firefighters were called to the church at about 5 a.m. Eastern Time and had the fire out by 8 a.m. MassLive.com quoted Springfield Mayor Dominic J. Sarno, who called the fire a case of arson. The fire heavily damaged the church building, home to a predominantly Black congregation of about 40 members.
On Jan. 2, MassLive.com reported the arrest of a Maine man in connection with the fire. Authorities charged Dushko Vulchev of Houlton, Maine, with several counts of malicious damage and three counts of attempted arson, the office of the state fire marshal said.
His first attempt to burn the church at 14 Concord Terrace was on Dec. 13, followed by two attempts on Dec. 15, officials said.
The Rev. Shannan Vance-Ocampo, general presbyter of the Presbytery of Southern New England, was on her way to Springfield on the morning of Dec. 28 to meet with church leaders, including the church's pastor, the Rev. Dr. Terrlyn Curry Avery, who's been in transitional ministry at the church for about 18 months.
"We will update as more information is known, and with how people can help," Vance-Ocampo said in a statement. "For now, please hold our Presbytery in prayer."

The Rev. Jim Kirk, Associate for Disaster Response with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, said the church, one of only two predominantly Black congregations among PC(USA) churches in New England, will be eligible for a church damage grant. PDA will also send the church copies of a book written by the Rev. Dr. Laurie Kraus, Director of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, and two others, "Recovering from Unnatural Disasters: A Guide for Pastors and Congregations after Violence and Trauma."
"It's the only [PC(USA)] African American church in the Presbytery," Kirk said. "It's tragic to have a sacred space like that desecrated."
The Rev. Shannan Vance-Ocampo is general presbyter of the Presbytery of Southern New England.
Before arriving in Springfield on Monday, Vance-Ocampo said Martin Luther King Jr. Community Presbyterian Church had been without pastoral leadership for more than 15 years before Curry Avery arrived in 2019.
Vance-Ocampo called the damaged church "a beautiful, historic building." She'd planned to preach to the congregation remotely Thursday as part of a watchnight service leading into the new year. "Now we'll be switching that around," she said.
After spending most of Monday on site, Vance-Ocampo said a prayer service held for the congregation included "friends in other parts of the larger Church who offered us the gift of their prayers and accompaniment."
The congregation, she said, "is resolute and steadfast in their desire for ministry to continue, that rebuilding will take place and that God has a plan for the future and its flourishing in discipleship, service and worship."
Because of COVID-19 precautions, no physical gathering is planned for the time being, Vance-Ocampo said, "and there is not the usual need for paraments, hymnals, and other physical items to be donated." Since the property is currently the scene of an investigation, people are asked not to visit the church in an attempt to make a donation.
Donations can be mailed to the church at 14 Concord Terrace, Springfield, MA 01109. They can also be made online by clicking here.

On the day before Thanksgiving in 2018, another church in the Presbytery of Southern New England, Woodbury Union Presbyterian Church in Warwick, Rhode Island, suffered extensive fire damage. The damaged church has since been repaired but hasn't held services in its restored sanctuary due to the pandemic.
Two years ago, Vance-Ocampo traveled to Warwick following the fire. Also attending to the needs of the Woodbury Union congregation in the days and weeks to follow were a pair of PDA volunteers — members of the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Presbyterian Church.
"That church will be a help to the Martin Luther King Jr. church," Vance- Ocampo said. "Those congregations are already connected."

The power of Haitian Creole Radio stations in Local elections in Florida
The power of Haitian or Creole Radio stations can no longer be underestimated in Florida, in the United States or anywhere where there is a large community of Haitians.
Radio is the most effective method of communication if you want to reach the Haitian community. Whether you are in Haiti or anywhere in the world; if you want to stay connected with Haiti or the Haitian community, there is no other option.
In Miami it is no different. Specially in this city where you find the largest concentration of Haitians in one area, Radio has become even more important. For 30% of North Miami's residents, Créole is the primary and perhaps only language they speak.
During local or national elections, these radio stations become the deciding factors as to whether or not you will be elected. Candidates who run for office in North Miami depend on Haitian radio to present themselves to listeners.
There Haitian radios hold huge influence. What they say, whether true or not, is received by their Créole-speaking audience and based on that, they make their choices between the candidates. Some people complain of the fact that they don't get a fair hearing on Haitian radio, specially if the show host has close ties to an opponent.
Those ties may include payout or special deals between the candidates and the radio hosts.
North Miami School Principal Jean Coty Ridore Arrested
Here is a picture of Haitian-American Jean Coty Ridore who was the School Principal at North Miami Adult Education Program. He was arrested for corruption
Jean Coty Ridore (38), the principal of North Miami Adult Education Center has been arrested on Monday, October 5th, on multiple felony charges, such as accepting unlawful compensation, official misconduct and grand theft. Multiple law enforcement agencies are investing his conduct after receiving anonymous complaints about his hiring and employment practices. Ridore used to pay employees who did not show up to work and some employees used to receive higher than their real wage so that Ridore can collect his kick back from them; some even lost their jobs who earned the ire of Ridore. On Monday he was arrested on complaints that he took $1,000 in cash to hire a no-show employee and then arranged for illegal kickbacks from the man. North Miami has suspended this year's (2015-16) grant funding of about $100,000 to the school. Ridore with salary around $110,000 had been with the school since July 2005; he was in charge of more than 400 employees.

Mayor Lucie Tondreau arrested by FBI for mortgage fraud
Here is a picture of Mayor Lucie Tondreau before her arrest by FBI for mortgage fraud. She was the first Haitian-American woman to hold the position. She has been a Haitian activist in the Haitian community in Miami for several years
Her three other co-conspirators were Karl Oreste, Marie Okechukwu Josiah and Kelly Augustin.
Oreste used to identify residential properties in South Florida that were open to sale. Oreste and Tondreau advertised the unique services offered by KMC Mortgage. They recruited some paid individuals who posed as the borrowers of KMC Mortgage. The conspirators prepared loan applications for these straw borrowers with false information which were submitted to various mortgage lenders throughout the United States. Once these loan applications were approved, the lenders wired loan funds to O.J. Odunna, and other title companies for closing. The conspirators created and submitted several duplicate HUD-1 Settlement Statement Forms where the price of the property was grossly inflated and it represented many false cash and down payments of earlier loans by the straw borrowers to close obligations which they never made. The disbursed portion of the loan amount was channelled through Oreste's corporation to the conspirators' bank and other accounts. A substantial portion of the funds went to Tondreau's bank accounts of the LTO Investment Corporation. It has been estimated that the lenders have suffered a loss amounting around $8 million. If convicted, the conspirators may face a maximum term of 30 years in prison.
Contested North Miami Election, Lucie Tondreau Vs Kevin Burns
Some might liken the actions of one former candidate for the mayor of North Miami to the fox and the sour grapes. However, Kevin Burns attests that his lawsuit against new mayor, Lucie Tondreau is not a petty action, but out of deep concern for the upholding of integrity of the city's leaders. The suit claims that the mayor was not in residence in the city for a full year, as is claimed by her and mandated by the rules. The records indicate Tondreau at a 1005 NW 128th Terrace address, but the new mayor has yet to comment on the issue.
Nacivre Charles and Lucie Tondreau under ballot-fraud investigation
Political operative Nacivre Charles, better known as "Charlie," is under fire and under investigation by the State Attorney's Office.
Some how, this investigation is involving current Mayor of North Miami Mayor Lucie Tondreau. According to the report, Nacivre Charles was Lucie Tondreau campaign treasurer earlier this year.
Lucie Tondreau's Trial to begin this week
Here is a picture of Ms. Lucie Tondreau, the former North Miami Mayor. She is charged for participating in an $11 million mortgage fraud scheme.If convicted, Ms. Tondreau could spend up to 30 years in prison
Disgraced and ousted former Mayor of North Miami Lucie Tondreau is set to begin trial for fraud shortly. The jury selection has begun for a group of Ms. Tondreau's peers who will decide whether she was guilty of being part of a mortgage scheme that defrauded some $11 million or not. If convicted, the suspended mayor could spend up to 30 years in prison. While Karl Oreste, her business partner, has pled guilty, Tondreau turned in a plea of not guilty for the charges.
Mayor of North Miami Joseph Smith Introduction Ceremony
Here is a picture of the new Mayor of North Miami Introduction Ceremony. This took place in North Miami City Hall
It is hoped that, following the introduction ceremony for Mayor-elect of North Miami Dr. Joseph Smith, he will be able to rebrand the image of North Miami after the 'bad leadership' attested to by former challenger and one-time mayor, Kevin Burns. Burns was undoubtedly referring to Mayor Smith's predecessors Andre Pierre, who during his time referred to the daughters of a councilman as prostitutes and issued police-like badges to his staff members, as well as ousted former mayor Lucy Tondreau, who was found in connection with a mortgage fraud scheme valuing $8 million.

The plinko machine is a 'working model' for many physical processes in which many small perturbations accumulate—for instance a leaf falling from a tree. It is an approximation to these systems because we use a discrete grid (the pegs) and discrete bins. Yet it is useful as a model: for instance, we can ask where we expect a marble to end up depending on where we drop it in, by running the machine several times—simulating the outcome.
Imagine that someone has dropped a marble into the plinko machine; before looking at the outcome, you can probably report how much you believe that the ball has landed in each possible bin. Indeed, if you run the plinko machine many times, you will see a shape emerge in the bins. The number of balls in a bin gives you some idea how much you should expect a new marble to end up there. This 'shape of expected outcomes' can be formalized as a probability distribution (described below). Indeed, there is an intimate connection between simulation, expectation or belief, and probability, which we explore in the rest of this section.
There is one more thing to note about our Plinko machine above: we are using a computer program to simulate the simulation. Computers can be seen as universal simulators. How can we, clearly and precisely, describe the simulation we want a computer to do?
We wish to describe in formal terms how to generate states of the world. That is, we wish to describe the causal process, or steps that unfold, leading to some potentially observable states. The key idea of this section is that these generative processes can be described as computations—computations that involve random choices to capture uncertainty about the process.
Run this program a few times. You will get back a different sample on each execution. Also, notice the parentheses after flip. These are meaningful; they tell WebPPL that you are calling the flip function—resulting in a sample. Without parentheses flip is a function object—a representation of the simulator itself, which can be used to get samples.
Here we have used the repeat procedure which takes a number of repetitions, , and a function (in this case flip) and returns a list of samples from that function. We have used the viz function to visualize the results of calling the flip function 1000 times. As you can see, the result is an approximately uniform distribution over true and false.
What if we want to invoke this sampling process multiple times? We would like to construct a stochastic function that adds three random numbers each time it is called. We can use function to construct such complex stochastic functions from the primitive ones.
The higher-order function make-coin takes in a weight and outputs a function (a thunk) describing a coin with that weight. Then we can use make-coin to make the coins above, or others.
Make sure you understand how the bend function works! Why are there an "extra" pair of parentheses after each make-coin statement?
Higher-order functions like repeat, map, and apply can be quite useful. Here we use them to visualize the number of heads we expect to see if we flip a weighted coin (weight = 0.8) 10 times. We'll repeat this experiment 1000 times and then use viz to visualize the results. Try varying the coin weight or the number of repetitions to see how the expected distribution changes.
This program models the diseases and symptoms of a patient in a doctor's office. It first specifies the base rates of two diseases the patient could have: lung cancer is rare while a cold is common, and there is an independent chance of having each disease. The program then specifies a process for generating a common symptom of these diseases – an effect with two possible causes: The patient coughs if they have a cold or lung cancer (or both).
Now there are four possible diseases and four symptoms. Each disease causes a different pattern of symptoms. The causal relations are now probabilistic: Only some patients with a cold have a cough (50%), or a fever (30%). There is also a catch-all disease category "other", which has a low probability of causing any symptom. Noisy logical functions—functions built from and (&&), or (||), and flip—provide a simple but expressive way to describe probabilistic causal dependencies between Boolean (true-false valued) variables.
When you run the above code, the program generates a list of symptoms for a hypothetical patient. Most likely all the symptoms will be false, as (thankfully) each of these diseases is rare. Experiment with running the program multiple times. Now try modifying the var statement for one of the diseases, setting it to be true, to simulate only patients known to have that disease. For example, replace var lungCancer = flip(0.01) with var lungCancer = true. Run the program several times to observe the characteristic patterns of symptoms for that disease.
How can we predict the return value of this program? For instance, how likely is it that we will see [true, false]? A probability is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the answer to such a question: it is a degree of belief that we will see a given outcome, such as [true, false]. The probability of an event (such as the above program returning [true, false]) is usually written as: .
We see by examining this histogram that [true, false] comes out about 25% of the time. We may define the probability of a return value to be the fraction of times (in the long run) that this value is returned from evaluating the program – then the probability of [true, false] from the above program is 0.25.
//and build more complex processes!
Note that Infer took an object describing how to construct the marginal distribution (which we will describe more later) and a thunk describing the sampling process, or model, of interest. For more details see the Infer documentation.
Thus sample lets us sample from a distribution, and build complex sampling processes by using sampling in a program; conversely, Infer lets us reify the distribution implicitly described by a sampling process. When we think about probabilistic programs we will often move back and forth between these two views, emphasizing either the sampling perspective or the distributional perspective. With suitable restrictions this duality is complete: any WebPPL program implicitly represents a distribution and any distribution can be represented by a WebPPL program; see e.g., @Ackerman2011 for more details on this duality.
While Infer lets us build the marginal distribution for even very complicated programs, we can also derive these marginal distributions with the "rules of probability". This is intractable for complex processes, but can help us build intuition for how distributions work.
We can directly observe (as we did above) that the probability of true for A is 0.5, and the probability of false from B is 0.5. Can we use these two probabilities to arrive at the probability of 0.25 for the overall outcome C = [true, false]? Yes, using the product rule of probabilities: The probability of two random choices is the product of their individual probabilities. The probability of several random choices together is often called the joint probability and written as . Since the first and second random choices must each have their specified values in order to get [true, false] in the example, the joint probability is their product: 0.25.
In general, the joint probability of two random choices and made sequentially, in that order, can be written as . This is read as the product of the probability of and the probability of " given ", or " conditioned on ". That is, the probability of making choice given that choice has been made in a certain way. Only when the second choice does not depend on (or "look at") the first choice does this expression reduce to a simple product of the probabilities of each choice individually: .
What is the relation between and , the joint probability of the same choices written in the opposite order? The only logically consistent definitions of probability require that these two probabilities be equal, so . This is the basis of Bayes' theorem, which we will encounter later.
We can sample from this program and determine that the probability of returning true is about 0.75.
We cannot simply use the product rule to determine this probability because we don't know the sequence of random choices that led to this return value. However we can notice that the program will return true if the two component choices are [true,true], or [true,false], or [false,true]. To combine these possibilities we use another rule for probabilities: If there are two alternative sequences of choices that lead to the same return value, the probability of this return value is the sum of the probabilities of the sequences. We can write this using probability notation as: , where we view as the final value and as a random choice on the way to that value. Using the product rule we can determine that the probability in the example above is 0.25 for each sequence that leads to return value true, then, by the sum rule, the probability of true is 0.25+0.25+0.25=0.75.
Using the sum rule to compute the probability of a final value is called is sometimes called marginalization, because the final distribution is the marginal distribution on final values. From the point of view of sampling processes marginalization is simply ignoring (or not looking at) intermediate random values that are created on the way to a final return value. From the point of view of directly computing probabilities, marginalization is summing over all the possible "histories" that could lead to a return value. Putting the product and sum rules together, the marginal probability of return values from a program that we have explored above is the sum over sampling histories of the product over choice probabilities—a computation that can quickly grow unmanageable, but can be approximated by Infer.
There is no upper bound on how long the computation can go on, although the probability of reaching some number declines quickly as we go. Indeed, stochastic recursions must be constructed to halt eventually (with probability 1).
Now returning to the eye color example, we can represent the notion that eye color is random, but each person has a fixed eye color.
This type of modeling is called random world style [@Mcallester2008]. Note that we don't have to specify ahead of time the people whose eye color we will ask about: the distribution on eye colors is implicitly defined over the infinite set of possible people, but only constructed "lazily" when needed. Memoizing stochastic functions thus provides a powerful toolkit to represent and reason about an unbounded set of properties of an unbounded set of objects. For instance, here we define a function flipAlot that maps from an integer (or any other value) to a coin flip. We could use it to implicitly represent the th flip of a particular coin, without having to actually flip the coin times.
There are a countably infinite number of such flips, each independent of all the others. The outcome of each, once determined, will always have the same value.
In computer science memoization is an important technique for optimizing programs by avoiding repeated work. In the probabilistic setting, such as in WebPPL, memoization actually affects the meaning of the memoized function.


Mollusks are a phylum of soft-bodied invertebrate animals. Many mollusks have a hard external shell, but others do not. There are over 50,000 different types of mollusks alive today. Some major classes of mollusks include the bivalves (like clams), cephalopods (like octopi and squid), aplacophorans (worm-like mollusks), chitons, monoplacophorans, scaphopods (tusk shells), and gastropods (like snails and slugs).
Bivalves are soft-bodied animals that are protected by two hard shells, hinged together.
Gastropods are a class of mollusk with a single (or absent) shell and a muscular foot.
Octopi have eight legs and live on the sea floor.

The invariable plane of a planetary system, also called Laplace's invariable plane, is the plane passing through its barycenter (center of mass) perpendicular to its angular momentum vector. In the Solar System, about 98% of this effect is contributed by the orbital angular momenta of the four jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The invariable plane is within 0.5° of the orbital plane of Jupiter, and may be regarded as the weighted average of all planetary orbital and rotational planes.
This plane is sometimes called the "Laplacian" or "Laplace plane" or the "invariable plane of Laplace", though it should not be confused with the Laplace plane, which is the plane about which orbital planes precess. Both derive from the work of (and are at least sometimes named for) the French astronomer Pierre Simon Laplace. The two are equivalent only in the case where all perturbers and resonances are far from the precessing body. The invariable plane is simply derived from the sum of angular momenta, and is "invariable" over the entire system, while the Laplace plane may be different for different orbiting objects within a system. Laplace called the invariable plane the plane of maximum areas, where the area is the product of the radius and its differential time change dR⁄dt, that is, its radial velocity, multiplied by the mass.
is its orbital angular velocity. That of Jupiter contributes the bulk of the Solar System's angular momentum, 60.3%. Then comes Saturn at 24.5%, Neptune at 7.9%, and Uranus at 5.3%. The Sun forms a counterbalance to all of the planets, so it is near the barycenter when Jupiter is on one side and the other three jovian planets are diametrically opposite on the other side, but the Sun moves to 2.17 solar radii away from the barycenter when all jovian planets are in line on the other side. The orbital angular momenta of the Sun and all non-jovian planets, moons, and small Solar System bodies, as well as the axial rotation momenta of all bodies, including the Sun, total only about 2%.
If all Solar System bodies were point masses, or were rigid bodies having spherically symmetric mass distributions, then an invariable plane defined on orbits alone would be truly invariable and would constitute an inertial frame of reference. But almost all are not, allowing the transfer of a very small amount of momenta from axial rotations to orbital revolutions due to tidal friction and to bodies being non-spherical. This causes a change in the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum, as well as a change in its direction (precession) because the rotational axes are not parallel to the orbital axes. Nevertheless, these changes are exceedingly small compared to the total angular momenta of the system (which is conserved despite these effects, ignoring the even much tinier amounts of angular momentum ejected in material and gravitational waves leaving the Solar System, and the extremely tiny torques exerted on the Solar System by other stars, etc.), and for almost all purposes the plane defined on orbits alone can be considered invariable when working in Newtonian dynamics.

My teaching practice and my personal practice continually intertwine, each weaving a pattern in the larger tapestry of the Dharma. The theme that threads itself throughout my practice relates to the tremendous pain and suffering, the challenges and difficulties that so many beings face, and the possibility of awakening from this suffering. From this immediate calling I've woven the purpose of my life.
It is a deep honor for me to come together with others who feel a similar calling of connection to the Dharma to learn about the greatest gift of all: a happiness inside of us that is unconditional, and a depth of being that is infinite.
Together, our practice is dedicated to this effort of opening to our hearts' potential. To this I bring the flavor of my lineage--the continuation of the teachings of my root teachers, Ruth Denison and her teacher U Bha Khin; a commitment to learning how to live with each other in kindness; and my life as a lesbian in a long-term relationship.
Even though I have been involved in different traditions over the years, what I love about Buddhism is the simplicity of the practice; the fact that it isn't embodied by a lot of ritual, or special clothes, or the need for different props. I love the moment-to-moment calling of awareness to whatever one is doing. And vitally important, I appreciate the safety inherent in the teacher/student relationship, where the emphasis is on the practice itself and the teacher engages as a peer and spiritual friend.

THE coal industry has attacked rail operator Aurizon again claiming the impacts of its maintenance practices on the vital central Queensland coal network have worsened with miners unable to meet export contracts.
In a submission to the Queensland Competition Authority, the Queensland Resources Council said Aurizon Network has continued its campaign to disrupt access in order "to extract a more favourable result in relation to revenue''.
"Aurizon Network's improper conduct justifies significant changes to the undertaking to ensure that Aurizon Network cannot misuse its monopoly power again,'' the QRC said.
The issue stems from a QCA draft ruling on the amount of revenue Aurizon could earn on the monopoly network. The amount was $1 billion less over four years than Aurizon had submitted.
Since that draft ruling Aurizon has imposed stricter maintenance practices on the network to reduce costs. The effect could be the loss of about 20 million tonnes of coal exports. The QRC submission has said there have been coal producers who have been unable to rail the volumes necessary to meet contracts in May and June.
"This has also resulted in considerable stockpiling at both mines and ports across the CQCN (Central Queensland Coal Network),'' the submission said. "(There has been) continued reduction in the number of available or useable train paths: there has been a consistent decline in the number of available or useable train paths, which has continued to impact a number of coal producers' coal sales.
"The impacts of Aurizon Network's behaviour are not sustainable and require robust changes to the drafting of (the undertaking) to discourage such damaging conduct from being repeated in the future."
"The Aurizon Network board owe a duty to act in a way consistent with the best interests of the company.
Rival rail operator Pacific National has also said that greater accountability should be applied to Aurizon in relation to maintenance.

Network Partner Cartmell Shepherd Opens New Office in West Cumbria
Network partner of The Family Business Network, Cartmell Shepherd Solicitors, has proved its commitment to the high street by opening a new town centre office in West Cumbria.
The legal firm will move into a new office in Cockermouth later this month as part of the firm's continued expansion.
Staff based at its current West Cumbrian office in Dovenby will transfer to the new base, which is in an historic building on Main Street, close to Cocker Bridge and Market Place. The building is currently being refurbished in Cartmell Shepherd's signature branding.
Claire Wilson, who is an Associate Solicitor with Cartmell Shepherd based in West Cumbria, said the move would strengthen the legal firm's presence in the area and bring the team even closer to the community it serves.
She said: "The new office is a fantastic signal to the local community that we're committed to the local area.
"Being in the centre of Cockermouth will mean we are more accessible for our clients and it will also enable us to get even more involved with town initiatives which support local businesses.
"We're really excited about moving to Cockermouth and can't wait to be based there."
Claire will be joined at the new office by private client executive, Laura Clarke. Laura lives in Cockermouth and is a representative on the town's Chamber of Trade. Two support staff, Gemma Rudd and Lauren Hanley, will also be based at the office.
Cartmell Shepherd's full range of legal services will be available from the Cockermouth office, which is due to open on December 17. The award-winning leading law firm has more than 40 solicitors who bring specialist expertise to individuals and businesses across a wide range of sectors.
Andrew Marshall, chairman of Cockermouth & District Chamber of Trade, said: "The Cartmell Shepherd team has already been hugely supportive of the Chamber of Trade's work in Cockermouth from their base in Dovenby and it will be fabulous to welcome them to their new premises on Main Street.
"We never like to see empty properties in town – and we are blessed that there are relatively few of these – so to see them take on this lovely historic building makes it all the more special. We wish them well and look forward to having an even closer working relationship with the team now they're in such a central location."
Peter Stafford, managing director of Cartmell Shepherd Solicitors, said opening the new office in Cockermouth town centre reflected the company's ethos of being part of the community.
He said: "By investing in the high street and becoming more involved in local activities, we can help support local businesses and the people who depend on them.
"Cartmell Shepherd is committed to serving its clients in the best way possible and being at the heart of our communities is part of that."
The spacious office building, which was previously occupied by Bell Park Kerridge Solicitors, will have all the necessary Covid safety measures in place to help protect staff and clients.
Claire, who is part of Cartmell Shepherd's Private Client team, specialising in private client law, wills, probate and inheritance, said: "It's important to build a personal connection with clients. Having measures in place to hold meetings in person will allow us to get to know them better and understand what they need so we can give them the best possible legal representation."
Cartmell Shepherd has remained open for business throughout the pandemic, with staff working from home wherever possible and client meetings by appointment. Under current restrictions, where a phone or virtual appointment is not possible, staff will meet clients in person with social distancing and other safety measures in place.
Cartmell Shepherd Solicitors also has offices in Rosehill Carlisle, Carlisle city centre, Brampton, Penrith and Haltwhistle.

Nokia - Nokia opens Mozambique office
Mobile communication giant Nokia has opened an office in Maputo, Mozambique, which it says cements its commitment to the South and East African region. "The office will act as a southern African regional hub for the SADC area," says Grant Marais, Nokia's area manager for the southern African cluster.
He adds that the office will concentrate its energies on Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The office will provide easier access to rapidly expanding markets within the greater African market.
The office joins a growing list of Nokia offices on the continent, including in Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, SA and Tunisia.
Marais believes the region's potential is strong in terms of growth and human resources. Having people on the ground, who have the knowledge and expertise of the Nokia brands, is an important factor towards building on the strength Nokia holds in the region, he explains. "Nokia is going to create local training facilities in Mozambique, to help Nokia's growth in the region." He points out that the office will further help the corporate build on, strengthen and expand numerous joint ventures and partnerships in the region.
"The company is tackling new growth markets, with the hope to build new entities and empower local partners," says Marais. Nokia plans to concentrate on technology in mobile phones that can be tailor-made to suit the continent, he adds.
"Nokia was the first vendor to focus on an extensive range of products and solutions in rapidly expanding markets, with the intention to remain committed to introducing affordable, attractive phones and innovative solutions to meet the communication needs of African consumers," he says.

Day in and day out, we sadly hear of threats of shootings at schools. Horrifically, many of them lead to horrendous results. Thankfully, this recent event was averted.
I know I'm not alone when I say the seemingly never ending gun violence is gut wrenching as every story surfaces. The climate in our country over the gun debate is at it's boiling point for sure. I don't think it's a stretch to say people should carefully watch their words. Here's a perfect example.
This story just surfaced in a report from nbcconnecticut.com about a janitor at a school in Stafford Connecticut who is facing charges of making verbal threats against the facility. Police say they received a complaint that David Wachta had said he would shoot up the school last Friday.
Wachta surrendered to State Police on Monday, April 9th and he's been charged with first degree threatening and breach of peace. Police say he is being held on 100-thousand-dollars bond and is due in court today.

Q: Installing FreeNAS 8.3 problems I'm trying to install FreeNAS 8.3 on some desktop-level hardware (AMD Phenom + 890FX + 16GB) and I've been unsuccessful. I initially tried using a USB stick and followed the instructions on the FreeNAS site here. Making the USB was simple as the instructions laid out, but as soon as the USB is detected (during the boot process) some text appears and quickly vanishes and my machine reboots infinitely. After trying several different was to make the USB, I tried using a DVD-ROM but again, I had the same issue as the USB stick.
This leads me to conclude that either a BIOS setting is incorrect but I have no idea which one. I've changed the BIOS to not "fast" boot per se, and I've correctly configured the boot order per USB stick and the DVD-ROM drive so I know that it's working. Have I missed anything that might be causing this problem? I'm not a FreeBSD/FreeNAS expert by any means.

A: Nothing like stating the obvious but have you reset your motherboard back to factory defaults? Set your hard drives for AHCI and check your memory speeds. I just loaded with almost the same set-up: Phenom 945, 880FX (ASRock), 8GB, 5 drive ZFS pool and it went fine...not that this info helps you beside showing it does work.

A: After being frustrated with this issue, I decided to install VMWare ESXi 5.0 to install FreeNAS 8.3 as a guest VM. I was unable to get ESXi 5 to successfully install but I was finally able to once I had to downgraded the BIOS to version 1.8 and I had to use ESXi 4.1. From what I found through Google, BIOS version 1.8 has been successful with IOMMU for virtualization and ESXi 4.1 had no problems. Once ESX 4.1 was up and running, I tried installing FreeNAS in a VM but I had more issues and reverted back to the original plan of getting FreeNAS 8.3.
I decided to recreate the FreeNAS disc but instead of using Windows 7, I used my Macbook Pro. In addition, I upgraded the BIOS to the latest version (1.15 if I recall correctly). After doing both, I was able to boot from the DVD drive.
I'm not certain what to conclude. I burned the first ISO image in Windows 7 and I was able to boot from the disc on two other machines. In any case, I managed to get FreeNAS 8.3 to install only after upgrading the BIOS and recreating a new disc to install from using Mac OSX, not Windows 7.

Worker could have been killed by generator fumes because he wanted a coffee, inquest hears
He was carrying out renovations at the Haven in the Vale hotel in Whatton

A worker might have been killed by a generator because he fancied a coffee.
The petrol-driven unit was in the hotel room where Nelu Margian, 47, was overcome by carbon monoxide fumes.
An inquest heard that the equipment was brought in while four Romanians were renovating the Haven in the Vale hotel on Grantham Road, Whatton.
The dead man's brother Costica Margian said that the generator was not in a bedroom they used.
But it was there when Nelu was found dead on April 30, 2017.
He was asked why he might have dragged it in from outside.
Speaking through an interpreter, Mr Margian said: "To charge phone and maybe make a coffee."

When asked if the generator was plugged in when he found his brother, he told the hearing: "Very hard question. Only focused on Nelu, only remember breaking a window."
Nelu had no worries, he said, and went on: "He only mentioned working to raise enough money to go home and buy his son a car."
Health and Safety Executive inspector Linda-Jane Rigby said that one statement indicated that the generator was there to power a caravan and "should not be used or touched" by the workers.
Mr Margian told her: "No, we were never told that."
And he said they were not supplied with instructions in Romanian on how to use the generator, which was claimed to have replaced one which broke down.

Stephen Harvey QC, who represents Hotel Elite, said that Mr Margian had produced a statement saying he had experience with generators.
The statement went on: "We would plug it in for electricity. Quite loud, could not communicate. You could see very little smoke."
Mr Margian told him: "Yes, that is correct."
The jury of 11 has been told that the workers met the hotel owner in London, agreed to help renovate the building and stayed in a bedroom.
The hotel owner denies giving them permission to sleep in the hotel after they did painting and decorating jobs.
They were initially told they would receive £70 daily but this was later changed to a lump sum.
Police and HSE investigations were launched after Mr Margian was found dead. Medical tests showed that he died of carbon monoxide toxicity.
Mr Margian's nephew Alexandru Grigore spoke to the hotel owner because he has a better command of English.
On the opening day of the hearing, he said that he had not seen the generator in the bedroom until after the death and that it produced "white smoke."
He was asked by Assistant Coroner Jane Gillespie asked: "What did you think was the danger?"
Mr Grigore replied: "The reason would be a strong smell of petrol, dizziness."
The inquest continues.

Anthony Joshua: 'I was so confident, I didn't ask about rematch clause'
Former heavyweight champion vows to get belts back after shock Andy Ruiz Jr defeat

Mon Jun 3 2019 - 12:58
Anthony Joshua confirmed his intent to enforce an immediate return fight with Andy Ruiz Jr, admitting he was so confident in the run-up to his astounding defeat he had not bothered asking whether a rematch clause was in the contract.
The shock of Saturday's extraordinary upset was still palpable inside Madison Square Garden when the former champion finally spoke early on Sunday morning after suffering four knockdowns in a one-sided defeat that cost him his the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles and his undefeated record.
"It's not expected," the 2012 Olympic gold medallist said. "Bookies said I was a favourite. One shot on the top of the dome rattled me a bit and I tried to stay in there a few more rounds. But the better man won. Respect to Andy and I'll move forward now.
"I didn't even ask about a rematch clause because I was so confident I was going to win. If it's there, we'll go again and I'll get the titles back. I'm going to beat him up. I'm not dwelling on it. You just correct it, you adjust, you sit down, you focus and you go again."

The surprise result torpedoed a much-anticipated title unification fight between Joshua and Deontay Wilder, who has held the WBC's version of the heavyweight championship since 2015. That fight was, until Saturday night, the biggest that could be made in the sport today, but instead becomes a slain golden goose representing a cautionary tale for the industry on the perils of letting superfights marinate too long.
But Joshua, positively upbeat given the circumstances, took a philosophical tack as he pondered his future. "Trust me, I come from a good family, but where I was at in life, I've dealt with more shit than this," he said.
"I've dealt with some real big losses and I've bounced back. Life is a journey. This is boxing. What I have to do is re-evaluate the situation, make it better and we go again. We didn't come this far to stop, we didn't come this far to fold under pressure. We came this far and I definitely feel like we can go a lot further."
Eddie Hearn, Joshua's long-time promoter, confirmed the contracted option for an immediate rematch with Ruiz and said it will take place in the UK in November or December, adding that it should take precedence over any mandatory title defences and "probably" be for all three belts that were on the line on Saturday night.
"AJ got sloppy," Hearn said. "It was a beautiful combination in the third round. He was in total control of the fight but he got sloppy and never recovered. Listen, tonight was [RUIZ'S]night but AJ will come back 100% and we will make the rematch in the UK in November or December. But this night now belongs to Andy Ruiz.
"AJ has the heart of a lion and will come back stronger. Now at least we know the opponent for the end of the year in the UK. Absolutely we will enact the immediate rematch. He will be devastated when it sinks in. It makes the fall fight a must-win."
Hearn acknowledged Joshua's inexperience may have worked against him in his debut on American soil but refused to make excuses for his fighter.
"You know that 22 fights in he's still learning the sport of boxing," the promoter said. "He's always been learning on the job. Unfortunately when you have to learn on the job, sometimes in the biggest of arenas, something can go wrong. And it's brutal when it goes wrong.
"There's no hiding place when you're in there. There's no excuses. I'd love to be able to stand here now and tell you [JOSHUA HAD]a terrible camp or had these injuries but it's not true. He won fair and square, Andy Ruiz.
"Tomorrow, the day after, the coming weeks, this is going to eat him up inside. Great fighters come back and improve. Some fighters never come back the same. The future will show how Anthony Joshua responds." - Guardian

Five Pre-Season Questions with Mack Guzda
Mack Guzda ohl 20 in 20 owen sound attack
Mack Guzda enters his second season in the Owen Sound Attack crease after making 30 appearances and accumulating 14 wins a season ago.
The second round pick in the 2017 OHL Priority Selection attended Hockey Canada's Summer Under-18 Selection Camp and will be eligible for the 2019 NHL Draft. He was the OHL's 2018 recipient of the Ivan Tennant Memorial Award recognizing his achievements as the Top Academic High School Student.
Guzda took time to answer some questions and share his outlook on the season ahead.
What was it like coming to the OHL as a 16-year-old goaltender?
"It was a lot of fun. I felt very fortunate to come to an organization that was willing to give me the opportunity to come into the league at a young age. Obviously it was a big adjustment from minor hockey but it was a lot of fun and it was a lot of good experience."
What experiences can you take from your rookie season to will help you between-the-pipes this year?
"I definitely learned a lot last year. I was given a lot of opportunity which was great. I got the opportunity at times to be in the starting role last year and at times got to play in playoffs. I think a lot of experience is only going to help me moving forward and help me have a good consistent year this year."
What is your favourite thing about living and playing in Owen Sound?
"I really like how Owen Sound is a small town. It's a very loyal fan base. I was fortunate enough to have great billets with two young kids so always having a lot of fun at home. It's a great time."
As an Academic Award winner, how have you been able to balance school and hockey?
"I think the organization does a great job giving us lots of support. We always have everything we need. We have time in the morning or time anytime we need a tutor or any extra help we're always given that opportunity. I think a lot of that credit goes to the organization for all of the help they provide."
Are you excited for the opportunity to play big minutes in your NHL Draft year?
"I'm very excited about this year. I'm just going to take it one game at a time. I think we're going to have a great team this year and we're going to have a chance to win a lot of hockey games so I'm really looking forward to this season."
This month ontariohockeyleague.com will feature one team each day in advance of the 2018-19 season which begins Wednesday September 19th. See more from the OHL 20 in 20 series.

Ideally we needed to know the exact line of code that causing the problem, but how? The only way was using a debugger on Production web servers, but installing Visual Studio on them was not an option. So I searched for a command-line debugger for Microsoft.NET, and I found, among others, Mdgb.exe in the .NET SDK 2.0 (you should download and install it anyway as it's free, harmless and relatively small).
At exception, w[here] to obtain the stack trace (remember to upload the .pdb files with your .dll files if you want the line numbers).
As you can see, now we have the exact line of code with a low-impact method. Again, it's important to note that the impact is low not only on the running application but also on prerequisites, because only the .NET SDK should be installed on the computer before using the debugger.

Now in its ninth year, Clonakilty Waterfront Marathon makes a welcome return to the seaside town this Saturday. If you want to be on the start line and experience the welcoming and electric atmosphere in west Cork, and be part of a 2200 person wave of positivity, supporting each other to achieve your own personal goals, there is still time to sign up for the full marathon, half marathon, or 10K. Simply register at www.runclon.ie and rock up in the runners on Saturday morning, 8th December.
The route is a stunning testing course with ocean views and gentle hills, set at an ideal date to test your limits – the Clonakilty Waterfront offers distances for all levels and ages. All abilities welcome, walkers, wheelchair participants, slow runners, fast runners… you're guaranteed to have a great time.
This year's marathon falls on the 8th December, which is the annual festive shopping day in Clonakilty so the town will be buzzing with activity. The switching on of the Christmas lights will also take place on the same evening.
Clonakilty Chamber kindly ask participants and visitors to avoid parking their cars in and around the town centre during the day time, while the races are in progress.

Parking for race participants and supporters will be available at the Showgrounds and all are encouraged to try to get there by 8am.
Marathon organizer Bobby Hilliard commented: "We request that everyone approaches Clonakilty Waterfront Marathon IX in a positive and respectful manner. Share words of encouragement, smiles and thumbs up with your fellow runners, marshalls and supporters. Please show your appreciation to the marshalls, stewards, and gardaí, on the course too, as without them this event would not be possible! And finally, Enjoy your day and cross the finish line with a smile on your face!
