On a Friday afternoon, SGA President Alex Stark '11 e-mailed the second round SGA election results to the campus. She announced the winners of a highly contested election for many positions, and said the elections received a very high voter turnout.
Students elected Jono Zeidan '12, currently vice-president of financial affairs, to the position of SGA president, the highest Executive Committee position in the college student government. He defeated Alex Bland '12, vice-president of club affairs.
"It was a pleasure to run against someone who was so qualified," said Zeidan in his first statement as president-elect. "I'm looking forward to the upcoming opportunities next year as SGA president."
According to the Stark's e-mail, 893 students voted.
"We're really happy with the voter turnout. Usually participation is closer to 600 students," Stark said. "I think people voted because a lot of these positions were contested. It gets people excited."
In the other contested races, Logan Brenner '12 won the position of vice-president of club affairs, Raiza Nazareth '12 won the position of vice-president of communications and outreach and Aaron Shifreen '12 won the position of vice-president of residential affairs.
All candidates running in uncontested executive committee races won against votes of no-confidence or abstentions: Melvis Langyinto '12 for senior class president, Thomas Rivera '13 for vice-president of academic affairs and Ethan Flum '12 for vice-president of financial affairs.
All candidates running in uncontested inter-hall board races won against votes of no-confidence or abstentions: Jess Sonnenfeld '14 for Howe-Rounds president, Daniel Gaunard '14 for How-Rounds vice-president, Britt Dorfman '14 for Kimball vice-president, Lindsey Decker for Penfield vice-president, Molly Grant '14 for Wait vice-president, Kim Ohnemus '14 for Wiecking president, Jess Strasser for Wiecking vice-president, and Margeau Canon '14 for Wilmarth vice-president.
At 6 p.m. on Wednesday evening, about 100 people packed into the SPA for the second round of SGA Speech Night. During the course of the two-and-a-half hour event, 20 students delivered speeches for significant SGA positions including SGA President.
Voting began at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday morning and ended at 12:01 a.m. Friday. Election results were not available as of press time on Thursday, as elections had not yet ended. Students who voted were automatically entered into a raffle with a chance to win gift certificates to local restaurants.
Many students' platforms focused on adding transparency to SGA to make the group's policies more clear to members of the student body. Students also campaigned to change the general campus culture in response to the recent dialogues about diversity.
Students also proposed "fun" all-college events, such as hosting a snowball fight and purchasing sleds for the student body, both related to the snowy winter months the college historically experiences.
According to SGA President Alex Stark, Wednesday's Speech Night received one of the largest audiences during her four years at the college.
Students ran contested in nearly every executive board position for round two of elections. Alex Bland '12 and Jono Zeidan '12 both ran for SGA president, the highest executive committee position.
Bland started his speech for president by commenting on SGA's lack of transparency.
"On an average day I'll have a conversation with someone and I'll tell them I'm in SGA… I get the response 'what is SGA?,' 'what does SGA' do?'," Bland said. "People think it's just an acronym on a poster."
"Our biggest accomplishments don't always come from inside, they come from the student body," Bland said.
Zeidan agreed. "Perhaps the biggest thing SGA does is extract ideas from everyone else," he said.
Bland said SGA sometimes receives superficial requests, like including an elevator in Scribner Village to connect to the Jonsson Tower parking lot, but also receives more significant requests, like changing the college's Sexual Assault Policy.
Zeidan began his speech by appealing to the audience with references of classic Skidmore all-college events.
"Did you know Skidmore used to have competitive mud wrestling?," Zeidan said. "We used to have hot tubs on the green in the dead of winter. We can bring the fun back to Skidmore… Those are some silly ideas but we I have some other [serious] things we can get done."
The candidates were asked what they thought of the diversity dialogues on campus, and how they would continue them, if at all, in the following semesters.
"I didn't know there was such an issue until I went to the dialogues," Bland said. "They caught me off guard… I think the biggest problem is that people just don't know."
Zeidan said the larger issue was that students feel uncomfortable on campus, and binge drinking has a been a way to remedy the discomfort.
"Alcohol is a symptom of this discomfort about diversity," Zeidan said. "Through these dialogues, we've laid the foundation, and now it's time to take the next step."
Bland saw the issue of diversity differently.
"I agree alcohol is a problem on campus but it's different than diversity," Bland said. "We need to address both [separately]."
One member of the audience said both candidates' platforms were similar, and asked what distinguishes each other from their candidate.
Neither candidate fully distinguished themselves from their opponent.
"We both even kind of look alike on paper so we're the same," Zeidan said. "I'm not going to bash Alex [Bland], he's a good friend of mine. What separates us is what's off the paper."
"The full commitment is pretty extreme and I'm ready to deal with it," Bland said.
Donald Duff '13 ran against Logan Brenner '12 for the position of vp for club affairs.
This past fall, Brenner resigned from her yearlong position as vp for academic affairs to go abroad to Turks and Caicos. Brenner gave her speech via a YouTube video she filmed outside by a beach, and she answered questions previously asked of her via Facebook.
The candidates outlined their procedures for chartering and de-chartering clubs.
"I would go through charters with the club affairs committee, and would ask the [executive] boards of these clubs to meet with the club affairs committee and if they've been inactive they should propose a plan for change for more activity," Brenner said. "I think all clubs deserve a chance [though]."
Duff campaigned for a more stringent policy on chartering clubs.
"The possible club or student members will have… a five week trial period before a recommendation to be chartered," Duff said. "For de-chartering, the club would have to be inactive for the semester, and would be put on probation status. If it remained inactive the next semester, they would be de-chartered by majority vote," he said.
Candidates were asked to elaborate on how they would change more bureaucratic processes, like the club presidents' meeting.
"I would like to create a social event in cooperation with presidents and vice presidents of clubs," Duff said. "I also think there should be interim evaluations of club presidents."
Brenner also campaigned for more social club presidents meetings.
"I'll make sure the meeting is properly publicized for their clubs try to get their opinions on how the semester is going… It'll probably be better with food in their stomachs… also smaller meetings would be helpful," she said.
Outside of his prospective duties for vp of club affairs, Duff plans to sponsor several SGA resolutions.
"I have not brought one to the senate but I plan to bring on in the coming weeks. One passed by Thomas Rivera, how the vp of diversity affairs should have OSDP experience. To understand what diversity is you have to be a part of OSDP club," Duff said. "Also one [resolution] by Leeland [Martin '14] … A Resolution for sleds for the coming year. It will create more fun. We'll have better things to do around here," he said.
Thomas Rivera '13, vp for academic affairs, ran for the position he currently serves. Rivera won an uncontested election in February after Logan Brenner '12 resigned and vacated the position, as she is studying abroad this semester.
Rivera, in his role as vp for academic affairs, offered many changes to the current academic program and academic social life.
"I want to have a faculty and student dinner," Rivera said. "I think this will create a better relationship between students and faculty, and we'll get to build that bond… I've heard a lot of people saying they're in biology and they've never met anyone in the government department."
In addition to the outside of the classroom experience, Rivera is planning a service-learning program, which is not limited to volunteer work.
"I plan to have a student in every single academic major represent to other students in the major options for service learning," he said.
Alex Brehm '12 asked Rivera if he supported internship work, even if students, who are not getting paid, end up paying thousands of dollars for credit hours, whether it is "out-of-pocket" or paid through scholarship.
Rivera did not see this as a problem.
"Service learning is entirely worth it," Rivera said. "You're doing something active, doing workshops… When you engage in what you're studying, along with the internship, it's worth it."
Inside the classroom, Rivera said he plans to propose a public speaking course.
While Rivera feels comfortable in his role as vp for academic affairs, but he said it was not initially easy learning the procedures.
"There was a barrier to a certain extent. The more communication got better, things got better," he said. "I was nervous first as vp… But we're getting to the point now where we can move forward [more smoothly]."
While the candidates running for executive committee positions received more questions and had a larger audience to deliver their speeches to, the other candidates running gave equal attention to their speeches and platforms.
For executive committee positions, Melvis Langyinto '12 ran for the position of senior class president, Raiza Nazareth '12 and Alec Unkovic '12 ran for vp of communication and outreach, Jovany Andujar '13 ran for vp of diversity affairs, Ethan Flum '12 ran for vp of financial affairs and Alexis Curry '12 and Aaron Shifreen '12 ran for vp for residential affairs.
The candidates running for hall presidents and vice presidents all ran uncontested.
The candidates for vp of residential affairs commented on the future role of popular college drinking events like Moorebid Ball and Fun Day, as their position requires them to monitor and administer the events.
The 2010 Moorebid Ball received national media attention after 14 attendees were hospitalized for alcohol-related sickness and injury.
"I want to speak with past planners of Moorebid Ball," Curry said. "I want to see how the event was transferred to Moore Hall [to Case Center], and see what was fundamental in doing that… We have to make sure Moorebid and Fun Day continue."
The recent race dialogues have also received attention, in the The Skidmore News and through various forums on campus.
Jovani Andujar '13 ran uncontested for vp of diversity affairs, and would be a leading voice in diversity affairs in his capacity in that position.
He said he wants to change the way diversity is perceived on campus.
"Diversity isn't about numbers," Andujar said. "It's about the interaction between the groups of people. There people who want to see diversity as something only visual. Diversity is more than something on someone's face and the color of their skin."


Are you trying to get out of debt, but can't quite seem to make it out of the red each month? Getting out of debt is an enormous undertaking, comparable to training for a marathon or losing weight. Fortunately, there are many ways you can make your goal of becoming debt free a reality, but they all require a combination of thriftiness and creativity. Here are just a few ways to help you get out of debt.
Since getting out of debt takes time and effort, you will do well to sit down for a few minutes and make a strategic plan of action as to the steps you will take to accomplish your goal. If you don't have a clear plan, then it will be more difficult to commit to your plan because you will have to come up with ways to save money on the fly. Instead, think about the plausible, concrete steps you can take to address your debt and see how many of them are going to be feasible. Then, once you have a few ideas, make a promise to yourself that you will follow them.
You won't get out of debt without cutting back at least a little. Try to save money every month so that you can put it toward paying off your debt. This may mean you have to be extra thrifty. For example, try switching to generic brands for household products, setting a moratorium on eating out, or cutting back to basic cable. You can even save more by refilling your ink cartridges.
You can also get out of debt by finding ways to make money in your spare time. For example, you can consider working in a café or bar on the weekends, getting some babysitting work, or walking dogs. Or, if you're artistically inclined, you can look into selling your artwork online at sites like eBay or Etsy.
If you don't feel like you can commit to a second job, you can also go through your closet for extra clutter that you can sell online. Chances are, your extra junk could be useful for someone else, and therefore is worth cash. All you have to do is take an inventory of what you might be able to sell and then find a site that specializes in selling those products secondhand. While it's possible to sell just about anything online, good sellers tend to include apparel, accessories, jewelry, homeware and electronics. Some good sites for secondhand sales include Amazon, eBay and Craigslist.
Additionally, sometimes sites will specialize in a certain type of product. For example, if you have a lot of used electronics, you can sell and make extra cash with musicMagpie. However you choose to attack your debt, know that it is not an easy endeavor but effort is admirable. With hard work and discipline, it's possible to be debt-free.


Lucia Aguirre celebrates Best News for Cyclists — new bike lanes on city streets.
Fans of the web-based series Pittsburgh Dad can expect to see much of the same Pittsburgh pride and Yinzerisms on this Twitter account, manned by Pittsburgh Dad actor Curt Wootton and writer Chris Preksta. "That giant duck cost $20,000?! If they paid that much, this duck better be able to fill potholes or play on the Steelers offensive line."
The Animal Rescue League's event to promote National Spay Day isn't just another fundraiser. Last year, at Cruze Bar, attendees danced, drank and voted for their favorite performers in a drag show. "People couldn't stop talking about it," recalls marketing director Ann Yeager. Save the date for the next one: Feb. 25, 2014. It's not to be missed.
There they go: seven people suspended forever while walking up a pole. One simply can't ignore this 100-foot-tall sculpture, created by Jonathan Borofsky. But how far a walk is it to the sky? Are they already there? And what happens when they reach the end of the pole and presumably fall back to Earth? Curse these troublesome questions!
What to do if you're a mayor facing a police scandal and a federal grand jury? Abruptly announce, after six years in office, that public service just isn't for you. Then, for the final 10 months of your term, vanish. We thought using an official vehicle to go see Toby Keith was bad; at least we knew where our mayor was.
Even though Charlie Batch spent most of his 11 years with the Steelers as a backup, the Homestead native is one of the best-liked players to wear the black and gold. It's not just that he's a hometown hero; it's that his charitable investment in projects like Homestead's 16th Avenue Playground prove he never forgot where he came from.
Keisel's beard has become one of the nation's most recognizable patches of facial hair, attracting notice from national media and City Paper readers alike. (During Steelers training camp, for example, NFL.com columnist Judy Battista tweeted, "Brett Keisel's beard is amazing.") The beard takes several months to grow — and its annual shaving has become a popular fundraiser for Children's Hospital.
Since our polls closed, PennDOT opened one of Route 28's long-closed northbound lanes, but don't get too comfortable: Another closure is in store before construction wraps up in late 2014. Ah, but when it's done, you'll be able to drive to Kittanning without a single stoplight. To have the gem of Armstrong County so near to hand ... isn't that worth any price?
The city has made strides in making Pittsburgh more bike-friendly this year. But on the road, the most obvious — and perhaps most needed — changes are four miles of new bike-lane infrastructure citywide. Among the most prominent: one-tenth of a mile of bright green paint on bike lanes in Bloomfield.
"The latest mass shooting was so close to us ... is everyone OK?" asks someone deep within the Capitol ... revealed in this cartoon to be a jowly Congressman comforting bags of gun-lobby cash. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's longtime editorial cartoonist is a reliable and often hilarious defender of common sense and scourge of the pompous and powerful.

Filipino brands that do not leave the poor behind.
I, will produce such a brand.
Akaba products are produced through the practice and application of Inabel weaving, a prized heirloom handed from one Ilocano generation to the next. Through these products, the rich and creative Ilocano culture is preserved. Akaba aims to produce products that are 100% Filipino-made. It showcases the country's most historically- recognized and lauded bayanihan trait as crafting these bags creates more opportunities for our countrymen. Akaba was set up by Ateneo de Manila graduates led by EJ Mariano, Daniel Lumain, Joseph Pajarillo, and Kristine Ongtengco. It has since blossomed into a Filipino brand that is on its way to becoming globally recognizable and one that brings the poor communities with them as they succeed.
The art of loomweaving has always been part of the culture of various ethnic groups all over the Philippines. Unfortunately, interest in learning the art has waned due to the low market value of handwoven textiles. In recent times, members from indigeneous groups themselves view loomweaving as unprofitable, unequitable, and impractical.
Our company was founded in 2014 to provide an avenue for designers and local artisans to collaborate in the creation of timeless, high quality and high value travel bags. Each piece is designed to highlight the beauty and practical use of handwoven textiles, and the Filipino values of dedicated craftsmanship and hard work. Beyond the local market, our goal is to showcase the best of the Philippines to the rest of the world.
AKABA Ltd. Design Co. is envisioned to be at the forefront in the movement to create global Filipino brands that do not leave the poor behind. Joining us in achieving this vision is GKonomics, a social enterprise development platform of Gawad Kalinga, and HABI: The Philippine Textile Council.
GKonomics is a platform that brings together social entrepreneurs, skilled volunteers, corporations, and the academe to work with underprivileged communities to create sustainable livelihood and build global Filipino brands that do not leave the poor behind.

Nightscapes - Milky Way
A gallery of nightscapes with the Milky Way prominent over a landscape, taken from many sites around the world. Does not include star trails. Presented in chronological order from newest to oldest.
Eclipsed Moon and Milky Way over Milk River
The Moon in total eclipse on September 27, 2015 – the "supermoon" eclipse – shining red over the Milk River and sandstone formations at Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park in southern Alberta, with the Milky Way in full view in the sky darkened by the lunar eclipse. The Sweetgrass Hills of Montana are to the south. The centre of the Milky Way is at far right. The Andromeda Galaxy is at upper left. The Moon was in Pisces below the Square of Pegasus. It was a perfectly clear night, ideal conditions for shooting the eclipse and stars. This is a stack of 5 x 2-minute tracked exposures for the sky and 5 x 4-minute untracked exposures for the ground to smooth noise. The Moon itself comes from a short 30-second exposure to avoid overexposing the lunar disk. Illumination of the ground is from starlight. All exposures with the 15mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600. The camera was on the iOptron Sky-Tracker.
The Milky Way, Venus, and the Zodiacal Light
Venus shines brightly, and nearly at its brightest at magnitude -4.7, in the dawn sky on a very frosty morning at 5 am, on September 17, 2015, from home in southern Alberta. Venus appears amid the faint glow of the Zodiacal Light, sometimes called the "False Dawn," stretching vertically from the dawn horizon in the east, up and to the right, and reaching the Milky Way that runs down the frame from top centre to bottom right. Orion and the winter stars shine in the Milky Way, with Sirius above the trees at lower right. The Beehive Cluster, M44, appears as the small group of stars above Venus. The Pleiades, M45, is at top right. Mars is the brightest object left of Venus, with the bright star Regulus just below it and rising in the east. The stars of the Big Dipper are at far left at the edge of the frame. The sky is beginning to brighten with the real glow of morning. This is a stack of 4 x 2-minute exposures, tracked and mean combine stacked, for the sky and 2 x 2-minute exposures, untracked and stacked, for the ground to minimize blurring in the starlit ground. The Canon 6D was on the iOptron Sky-Tracker, shooting at ISO 1250 with the 15mm full-frame fish-eye lens at f/3.5. The stacking with a mean combine stack mode smooths noise in both sky and ground.
Perseid Meteor Shower #1 (August 12, 2015)
A composite depicting the Perseid meteor shower on the night of Wednesday, August 12, 2015 as shot from southern Alberta, Canada. The image takes in a wide swath of the north and eastern sky, including the radiant of the shower in Perseus at left of centre, near the Double Cluster visible as a clump of stars. All the Perseids can be traced back to this point. Also in the image: the summer Milky Way and, at left, a dim aurora in green and magenta that was barely visible to the eye but was picked up by the camera. The Andromeda Galaxy is at centre. The Pleiades is just on the horizon. Apart from some haze from forest fire smoke, it was a near perfect night: warm, dry, just a little wind to keep the bugs at bay, and no Moon. A perfect night for a meteor watch. This is a layered stack of 35 images recording three dozen meteors (most Perseids but also a couple of sporadics not aimed back to the radiant in Perseus, such as the bright one at far left). The 35 images were selected from 200 shot from 11 pm to 2:30 am that night, with most frames not picking up any meteors. This composite is from the 35 taken over the 3.5 hours that did record a meteor. Each exposure is 1 minute at f/2.8 with the 15mm full-frame fish-eye, on the Canon 5D MkII at ISO 3200 (a couple of the early shots in the sequence were at ISO 1600 for 2 minutes). The camera was tracking the sky on the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer tracker, so all images of the stars are aligned and registered out of the camera, with the meteors in their proper position relative to the stars and radiant. I masked out a couple of satellite and aircraft trails that were distracting, and took away from the point of illustrating the radiant of the meteor shower. The horizon, however, is from one image, taken early in the sequence. Some of the blue in the sky comes from one of the early shots taken in deep twilight but that contained a nice meteor. And I liked the blue it added. All stacking and processing with Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop.

Howard Cosell
Howard William Cosell (/koʊˈsɛl/; born Howard William Cohen; March 25, 1918 – April 23, 1995) was an American sports journalist who was widely known for his blustery, cocksure personality. Cosell said of himself, "Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose, a showoff. There's no question that I'm all of those things." In its obituary for Cosell, The New York Times described Cosell's effect on American sports coverage: "He entered sports broadcasting in the mid-1950s, when the predominant style was unabashed adulation, [and] offered a brassy counterpoint that was first ridiculed, then copied until it became the dominant note of sports broadcasting."
In 1993, TV Guide named Howard Cosell The All-Time Best Sportscaster in its issue celebrating 40 years of television.
In 1996, Howard Cosell was ranked #47 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time.
Cosell was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina to accountant Isidore Cohen and his wife Nellie Cohen. The grandson of a rabbi, he was raised in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in English from New York University, where he was a member of Pi Lambda Phi. He then earned a degree at New York University School of Law, where he was a member of the law review.

Plot: In 1964, a brash new pro boxer, fresh from his olympic gold medal victory, explodes on to the scene, Cassius Clay. Bold and outspoken, he cuts an entirely new image for African Americans in sport with his proud public self confidence with his unapologetic belief that he is the greatest boxer of all time. To his credit, he sets out to prove that with his highly agile and forceful style soon making him a formidable boxer who soon claims the heavyweight championship. His personal life is no less noteworthy with his allegiance to the Nation of Islam, his friendship with the controversial Malcolm X and his abandonment of his slave name in favour of Muhammad Ali stirring up controversy. Yet, at the top of his game, both Ali's personal and professional lives face the ultimate test with the military draft rules are changed, making him eligible for military induction during the Vietnam War. Despite the fact that he could easily agree to a sweetheart deal that would have meant an easy tour of duty for himself, Ali refuses to submit on principle to cooperate in an unjust war for a racist nation that treated his people so poorly. The cost of that stand is high as he finds himself unable to legally box in his own country while his case is contested in court. What follows is a battle for a man who would sacrifice so much for what he believes in and a comeback that would cement his legend as one of the great sports figures of all time.

Trouble in Tunisia
Dying to work for the government
Unemployment is undermining Tunisia's transition
Middle East and AfricaJan 28th 2016 edition
LIKE his fellow Tunisian, Muhammad Bouazizi, who set himself ablaze to protest against harassment by local officials in 2010, Ridha Yahyaoui was acting impulsively when he died on January 16th. Having just been refused a government job, the unemployed 28-year-old scaled a utility pole in Kasserine, an impoverished town in western Tunisia. He reportedly threatened suicide. Perched in the air, consumed by his grievances, Mr Yahyaoui touched the wires and was electrocuted.
Bouazizi's death ignited protests that ended the dictatorship of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali and inspired the Arab spring. Mr Yahyaoui's is a reminder that democracy has yet to solve many of Tunisia's problems. The government has struggled to kick-start an economy that still suffers from past abuse and persistent corruption. Islamist rebels in the west and several big terrorist attacks have added to its woes in the past year. Nidaa Tounes, the dominant political party, has recently fractured.
But a lack of jobs is the main reason that thousands of Tunisians have returned to the streets. The unemployment rate is over 15%, worse than before the revolution. Around a third of young people are out of work. In rural areas like Kasserine, jobs are extremely scarce. Much of the work available is suitable for low-skilled labourers; it takes graduates, such as Mr Yahyaoui, an average of six years to find a steady job. Half of all graduates are still unemployed at 35, according to the World Bank.
The unrest has only made things worse. Three British tour operators have cancelled all bookings to Tunisia until November. Tourism, which (directly and indirectly) accounts for about 15% of GDP and 14% of jobs, was already down due to two deadly attacks on foreign tourists last year. Dozens of hotels have closed for lack of guests.
The government has stepped in as the employer of last resort. Tens of thousands of workers have joined the public sector since 2010, raising the number employed by the government to over 600,000. Another 180,000 or so work for public companies, which have also been on a hiring spree. To placate Tunisia's powerful unions, the government has raised salaries. The public-sector wage bill almost doubled between 2010 and 2014. It now accounts for over 13% of GDP, one of the highest shares in the world.
Not only is Tunisia's public sector big, it is poorly run. A World Bank report notes that "the link between a public employee's performance and her evaluation, compensation and promotion is weak, particularly since the revolution." The wounded and other "martyrs of the revolution" are favoured for jobs. So are the unemployed, leading some Tunisians to shun work in the private sector. Public firms, meanwhile, are models of inefficiency. The Tunisian Chemical Group, cited in the report, increased its head count from 5,000 in 2010 to 16,000 in 2012, while production fell from 8m to 2.5m tonnes.
Despite its wage bill, the government expects the budget deficit to fall to 3.9% this year. That is optimistic. Moody's, a credit-rating agency, recently cut its growth forecast for Tunisia to 1.5%, and expects a deficit closer to 5%. International donors want Tunisia to prune the public sector and spend its money more wisely. The government is already cutting subsidies on items such as fuel. But there is also concern about the stability of this lone Arab-spring success story. France recently promised €1 billion ($1.1 billion) in aid over the next five years.
To appease protesters, the government announced on January 20th that it would hire 5,000 young people in Kasserine, though it is actually only offering job training. "We do not have a magic wand to give a job to everyone at the same time," says Habib Essid, the prime minister. That hard truth has not gone down well in Tunisia.

Sensitivities to sound, preference for music over speech, and slowed responding to verbal information are regularly observed in children with autism. Those with full scale IQs of at least 60 are not clinically distinct from children with typical development on peripheral audiometric measures and they demonstrate normal early auditory cortical responses associated with generators on the superior temporal plane. Dysfunction in children with autism is evident in abnormal slowing of early ERPs localizable to auditory association cortex of the lateral surface of the superior temporal gyrus. A prerequisite to establishing appropriate interventions for children with autism is precise definition of dysfunction, achieved through knowledge of information and processing demands that modulate neural responses. Auditory processing offers an important window into information processing in children with autism. The goals of this study are to elucidate through use of behavioral and neurophysiologic methods neural and cognitive/linguistic mechanisms associated with auditory processing in children with autism and to understand circumstances under which neural abnormalities are ameliorated or exacerbated.
This grant establishes a perpetually endowed fund for college scholarships and for increased inclusion of students with special needs into educational programs at Hebrew College. It includes funding to develop new courses and faculty in the Jewish Special Education Program, to support student stipends, and to support a series of specialized seminars on the role of special education in the Jewish community. It also provides outreach support to inform community families about educational opportunities for special needs students at the College.
The NLM Family Foundation supports workshops at the Museum of Fine Arts designed for people with cognitive, learning, and/or developmental disabilities, those with autism spectrum disorders, and their friends and families. One workshop is intended for young people to age 12, and the other is for adolescents and adults. The participants explore the art in the Museum of Fine Arts ' collections and exhibitions through sound, theater exercises, music, movement, and visual art.

The goal of this project is to test whether biofeedback of electro -encephalographic (EEG) measurements can improve the ability of children with autism, ages 8 to 16 years, to control their behavior. The experiment involves a subject group of 20 individuals who are exposed to their continuous EEG profiles while engaged in playing computer games. Each subject and aged matched controls will participate in 40 one-hour sessions over a 20 week period. The hope is to investigate whether EEG biofeedback can be a useful operant training technique to ameliorate some symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorders.
Principal Investigator: John Welsh, Ph.D.
It is thought that social and communication cues pass by too fast for children with autism to process, making them appear socially or emotionally detached. One of the most common disturbances of brain anatomy in autism is the altered shape of the inferior olive, a structure in the lowest portion of the brainstem that communicates directly with the cerebellum. This study will explore the possibility that there is a direct link between disruption of the inferior olive and inability of children with autism to process rapid-fire sequences of stimulus events. The hypothesis is that the inferior olive acts as a "cognitive clock" that generates a continuous, metronomic rhythm that allows cognitive separation of sensory events that are closely spaced in time. Experiments will be conducted in rats trained to blink their eyelid to an auditory stimulus in the absence of fast electrical transmission within their inferior olive. It is expected that electrically disconnected neurons in the inferior olive, as may occur in autism, will prevent rapid stimulus processing. Demonstration of this could point to a specific family of neuronal proteins (connexins) in the behavioral manifestation of autism.
The human brain is made up of many cells, each carrying out its function while maintaining its role in the larger context of groups of cells, thereby working side by side to perform specialized tasks that we attribute to behavior. The formation and consolidation of memories is a cognitive task that has received much attention in the last decade, as neuroscientists are starting to delineate the molecular events that make memories possible. Central to these events is a molecule called Calcium-Calmodulin dependent Kinase II (CaMKII). CaMKII is a molecule capable of affecting practically every facet of cellular metabolism and homeostasis upon activation, which depends on transiently elevated concentrations of calcium in the cell. Given the abundance of CaMKII in the brain it has been proposed that CaMKII plays a key role in storage of information. Plakantonakis is interested in characterizing the interaction of CaMKII with other proteins that may be important in brain function. Understanding the three-dimensional structure of the CaMKII molecule may be useful for understanding the way in which its function is carried out and for designing other molecules that can have a desirable physiological effect upon binding. For instance, many drugs sold today have been designed to interact with a therapeutic target (a protein of special medical significance) whose three-dimensional structure is known. It is possible that his efforts will provide the details required for the rational design of drugs that will have an effect on our ability to better retain and process information.
Dr. Tesini has a Boston-area dental practice that provides care to special needs populations including individuals with autism. Because of their increase sensitivities to various sensory stimuli such as loud noises, individuals with autism often have difficulty tolerating normal dental procedures. Using repetitive tasking and familiarization techniques that he has pioneered, he has had significant success providing dental care without sedation to this population. Dr. Tesini has created a dental program based on these techniques which if disseminated amongst dental professionals has the potential to vastly improve dental experiences for individuals with autism. The NLM Family Foundation is funding the production of a video, produced by Dr. Tesini, intended to train dental professionals on these techniques.

In the cortex, cells are arranged in parallel, layered bundles, termed collectively as the cell minicolumn. It is a self-contained system linking the central nervous system to incoming, outgoing, and interneuronal signals. Preliminary study indicates that the neocortical organization of brains of individuals with autism differs from that of controls. Previous study of 3 neocortical sites in 9 brains of individuals with autism and 9 controls has shown significant differences in spacing that separates minicolumns, and differences in their internal structure: less space in outside edges of minicolumn and increased mean cell spacing within minicolumn. This project will attempt to find morphological correlates to these columnar findings in postmortem MRIs of 26 patients with autism available through University of California at Davis and the Autism Tissue Program.
Principal Investigators: Anthony Monaco, Ph.D., Anthony Bailey, Ph.D.
This research involves the search of the top two regions of peak linkage (currently on chromosomes 2q and 7q) for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that may be in linkage disequilibrium with autism susceptibility alleles. Dr. Monaco's most current analysis of linkage on chromosome 7q with regards to parent of origin effects indicates that there may be two genes in this region of chromosome 7q, one paternally linked and the other maternally linked in separate areas. To pursue this finding, the NLM Family Foundation is supporting the search for the paternally and maternally linked regions on chromosome 7q with high density SNPs to test for association. Knowledge of parent of origin effects will allow Dr. Monaco to test genes in the two regions for imprinting (expression from only one chromosome depending on its parent of origin) using both molecular and bioinformatics approaches, thus speeding up his localization and identification of autism susceptibility genes.
Principal Investigator: Timothy Roberts, Ph.D.
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) results from past studies have shown delays in automatic neural responses to vowel-sound contrasts in subjects with autism relative to controls. This study focuses on the development of a novel MEG experiment (which allows for non-invasive measurement of neural activity in auditory cortical sites) to extend investigation of auditory linguistic processing of speech sounds from isolated sounds to speech sound combinations. The combination of speech sounds is governed by phonotactic rules, language particular constraints on how sequences of segments pattern. This project will investigate sensitivity to violations of phonotactic rules of children with autism compared to controls. Literature shows that phonotactic violations cause processing delays for subjects' task completion in an auditory discrimination experiment. It is important to identify neural correlates of such delays in controls so that we may look for the presence of the same effect in children with autism in an MEG experiment. It is hypothesized that neural activity related to phonotactic violation detection will be significantly delayed in subjects with autism. The researchers will adapt existing MEG word recognition experiments to passive paradigms suitable for study with an autistic population to test whether individuals with autism store and access words similarly to healthy age-matched controls.

The journey and legacy of Michigan safety Brad Hawkins
From prep school to Big Ten Champion, the fifth-year senior cemented his legacy at Michigan.

Dominique Jones — better known by his stage name Lil Baby — released the triple-platinum, Billboard Chart-topping album My Turn in 2020. While 12 songs from the album spent time on the singles charts, these lyrics from the song "Heatin Up," stood out:
I ain't changed, I stayed the same and maintained
It's safe to say the kid gettin' older.
Forever gang, I'm never switchin' over.
With tenacious lyrics like this, it is no surprise Michigan Wolverines' senior safety Brad Hawkins is a huge fan of the Atlanta rapper. When fans think of Hawkins, two words often come to mind first: consistency and perseverance.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh echoed the same sentiments and had this to say about the senior: "Brad is a shining star who epitomizes persistence, perseverance, and consistency. He's a great leader and tireless worker. A warrior who loves to show up everyday and compete. He is what we want our guys to aspire to be."
Honestly, it's hard to remember a time without Hawkins solidifying the back end of Michigan's secondary. The New Jersey native signed his letter of intent to the Wolverines on Feb. 3, 2016, to round out Jim Harbaugh's first complete recruiting class at Michigan. To put that in perspective, Barack Obama was still president and Wolverine offensive coordinator (and current University of Arizona head coach) Jedd Fisch recruited the three-star wide receiver to Ann Arbor.
However, due to an issue with the NCAA Clearinghouse, Hawkins was unable to enroll in 2016. Instead, the New Jersey native enrolled at the Connecticut prep school, Suffield Academy, while maintaining his long-term commitment to the Wolverines. While most would be down about the situation, Hawkins tweeted, "Another year to better myself I think I made a good decision."
In his one year at Suffield, Hawkins caught 51 passes for 868 yards and 11 touchdowns.
On Feb. 1, 2017, Hawkins signed his second letter of itnent to the Wolverines and would finally enroll at Michigan June 20 of that same year.
As a freshman, Hawkins switched positions to safety, but would only see game action as a special teams player in 12 of the 13 games. The following year, Hawkins would get his chance at safety, but struggled in his limited playing time.
Many can remember Hawkins out of place against Notre Dame, frantically chasing receivers as he realizes his mistakes. But fortunately due to the depth at the safety position with veteran players like Josh Metellus and Tyree Kinnell, the sophomore Hawkins was not heavily relied upon, and could focus on developing his skill set.
In April 2021, Hawkins discussed his struggles of switching positions and how he "never really felt comfortable" playing defensive back in his first two years at Michigan. After an entire prep career of playing receiver, Hawkins was now being asked to drive in reverse after a lifetime of exclusively driving forward. But by his third year in Ann Arbor, Hawkins was ready to back the car up.
Appearing in 11 games and starting in 10 of them, Hawkins finished sixth on the team in tackles and was named the team's Most Improved Defensive Player of the Year. Finally comfortable at his new positional home, Hawkins entered 2020 as one of Michigan's most experienced and seasoned defensive players.
However, due to antiquated schemes, injuries, and a plethora of cultural issues, the team and especially the defense struggled in 2020. As a unit, the team finished nationally ranked No. 84 in total defense and No. 90 in pass defense.
Coming off a disappointing season, more questions surrounded the Michigan football program than answers. Defensive coordinator Don Brown and all but one (defensive line coach Shaun Nua) defensive coach was let go. With a new coaching staff entering Schembechler Hall, some expected Hawkins to transfer or to test the waters of the NFL. Despite being in the midst of inundating uncertainty, Hawkins cited "unfinished business" and opted to return to the Wolverines for the 2021 season.
As a fifth year-senior, Hawkins was selected as an alternate team captain and would earn the highly rare fifth varsity letter at Michigan, as well as a third-team All-Big Ten selection. According to PFF, Hawkins played the most coverage snaps in the country (382) without allowing a completion of 15+ yards.
Hawkins finished fourth on the team in tackles (60) and second in forced fumbles (two). One of the forced fumbles was a signature, season-saving play in Michigan's closest victory of the season in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Michigan had just tied the game in the fourth quarter and the Cornhuskers had the ball. Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez ran a draw play on third and one and gained the first down. However, while fighting for extra yards, Hawkins ripped the ball out of Martinez's hands, recovered the fumble and returned it inside the Nebraska 25-yard line with less than two minutes remaining.
The Wolverines would go-on to kick a field goal and win the game, 32-29.
Hawkins cemented his legacy at Michigan as one of the most consistent and durable players of the Harbaugh era. The safety stalwart leaves Michigan having appeared in 55 games and started in 30. Most importantly, he leaves Michigan as a Big Ten champion.
"BET ON YOURSELF," are the only three words listed in Hawkins' Twitter bio and are the perfect summation of his legacy at Michigan. Hawkins bet on himself through prep school and a position change and cashed out on both. Now, with the East/West Shrine Bowl and a potential NFL future looming, it's safe to say Hawkins is just heatin' up.
Maryland vs. Michigan Preview: Desperate for something good This one kind of feels like a must-win.

This post was originally written on September 9, 2016, as the BlackTruck team prepared to attend MozCon 2016. It has been updated to share leading into MozCon 2017.
Many search marketers can say it's very easy to stay connected and keep your finger on the pulse of what's happening in the industry without ever leaving your office. Social media provides us with a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues around the world, share information, and express frustrations to challenges that Big G and others throw our way. It's also very easy to get complacent, falling into a routine of daily work, skimming blog posts, and speculating behind the keyboard.
I encourage you to stop. It's time to step away from the keyboard and your screen for a moment and attend an event. There isn't anything like being amongst your peers and listening to some of the most brilliant and passionate minds in search. For me, that event is MozCon, an event that is consistently on my calendar to attend.
As somewhat of a self-proclaimed extroverted introvert (look that up), attending events can pose certain challenges. Preparing to attend my fourth MozCon next week, I wanted to share some insights and give perspective on the things I have learned over the years.
If this is your first time attending MozCon, or any marketing event for that matter, try not to let yourself get too overwhelmed. There can be a lot to take in, but just remember the reason you're there. The beauty behind MozCon is it's single track – so you never have to feel like you're missing out on subject matter. Find a spot, sit down, and listen.
If your schedule allows, take time to explore what Seattle has to offer. Nestled right on the Puget Sound, the Emerald City provides you with a good taste of the Pacific Northwest. Coming from the Midwest, I have found Seattle to be a super walkable and friendly city. Great food and drink can be found in every corridor. Favs on this end always include a stop at Bang Bang Cafe for killer breakfast burritos, and Serious Pie is totally worth the wait. By all means, walk around Pike Place Market. Go down early and watch how the market comes alive for the day.
This should just be a cardinal rule for any conference attendee. It's an understatement to say Moz delivers during the day and into the night. Consuming massive amounts of information, and perhaps a few beverages at the end of the day, can leave attendees a touch fuzzy. Hydrate.
Making connections is half of the fun and value at conferences. This can often be the most daunting task for many. At MozCon, it's super easy to meet people and strike up conversations that don't make you feel awkward like some after-hours cocktail event. Birds of a Feather tables are designated each morning at breakfast/lunch for those interested in connecting with peers to discuss specific niches. If you arrive early, there typically are various meetups happening. I attended one last year dubbed SoloCon, an unofficial event for those traveling solo. Super helpful, as we're all there with the same problem: We don't know anybody!
Events carry into the evening with the MozCrawl (pub crawl), Ignite speakers, and of course, the MozCon Party. These are ones that can leave you feeling challenged to meet others. My advice is try not to be too shy, and don't take it so seriously. I have found this approach works for me.
I found the Ignite event to be a great time: Drinks and networking prior to listening to peers take the stage for 5-minute presentations on all things not related to search. After consuming content all day, it's a nice break to just relax and hear about other people's passions and experiences.
The first year I attended MozCon, I felt like I had to document everything each speaker said. What I learned from this experience was that I did not really take time to consume the content and listen. Understand that everyone has their own style, but don't feel like you have to capture everything. I found it to be much more valuable to make sure I captured the top-level points and gems from each speaker. Obviously, if it's a subject matter that really resonates with you, you're more inclined to write more.
Also, when Marty W. takes the stage… don't even try to keep up. Sit there, listen, and then afterward turn to the person next to you with a "WTF" look on your face.
I get it, we're all busy. I highly, highly encourage you shut it off during the conference. I try to plan well in advance and clear my schedule of any important calls or project demands for the week of MozCon. I often wonder if the work you are doing on-site is as valuable as the content you're missing out on. I'm going out on a limb to say no, it is not.
Instead of focusing on work, I schedule a pretty crafty auto-response email that tells people where I am and what I'm doing. I check in daily, typically first thing in the morning, to ensure our team has what they need and answer any urgent questions, and then move forward. If there are any items that cannot be left alone, breaks in the action at MozCon allow for quick phone calls and check-ins as you see fit.
Even if it's not MozCon, I hope these tips make your next marketing conference more valuable. If you are at MozCon and you see any of the BlackTruck Media + Marketing team walking around, be sure to say hello!


I have always been drawn to explaining the why behind the world around around us. The field of neuroscience is fascinating because it explores how and why we learn.
I have had a diverse learning trajectory myself, from a bachelor's degree in Fine Art from the University of Wisconsin, to my Neuroscience PhD here at Harvard in the lab of Takao Hensch, where I studied the role of specific inhibitory neurons in brain plasticity, on to the Arenkiel lab at Baylor College of Medicine where I continued to study inhibitory neurons and plasticity and lastly to Guoping Feng's lab at MIT. Throughout my journey specific themes of hands on techniques to study and study learning itself have emerged.
As a preceptor, I work on MCB 80 where we have worked on transforming the class by adding additional guest lectures, demonstrations, applications and blended learning for an in-depth introduction to the brain.


Following a photo tour of the city, Hannah and Dave headed to Galleria Marchetti for a beautiful outdoor ceremony and a dance-fueled reception. All photos by GReyes Photography.
"It all started in July of 2012 when Dave and I went to be "wingman" and "wingwoman" for our friends at a bar called Drink in Schaumburg. We ended up talking and dancing the night away. The weekend after I met Dave, I was visiting my Grandma in Florida and he kept calling and texting me. My grandma asked who it was I jokingly said, 'Dave, my future husband.' Little did I know, Dave was the perfect person for me. Everything was just so easy between us and we could be ourselves. I was still in Grad School at ISU at the time and Dave was living in Elmhurst, but we successfully dated long distance. After I graduated and moved home, things continued to grow stronger between us.
Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect. The forecast went from 30% chance of rain to 10% to 0% and on the day of our wedding, the weather was flawless. The girls and I got ready with music playing and mimosas flowing, and I had so much fun getting glammed up with all of my favorite women in one room. Once we were all ready to go, Dave and I had our first look by the Trump building. Dave proposed on the river, so the only place we could have imagined our first look to be was on the river. After the first look we took a bus around the city and took photos around the city we loved.
Our ceremony took place outside under a gazebo and with flowers on the chairs lining the aisle and all our favorite people in the world there to watch us get married, I couldn't have felt more loved. Once we all moved inside for our reception, everyone was able to enjoy the amazing decor and set up. When everyone took their seats, our biggest surprise of the night began: Dave wanted our entrance into the reception to be the best part of the night so during the summer, we created a video that mimicked the Chicago Bulls intro video. After the video was done, we ran in through our wedding party's tunnel!

Q: Search for a specific group in AD with a part of the CN name In the AD, there is a list of groups such as:

*

*ServerDEV_4283V

*ServerDEV_4221C

*ServerDEV_9080M

*ServerDEV_2722W

....
I am able to get one specific group but I can't get a list of groups with starting with ServerDEV_4.
Here is my code block:
    DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://YourServer/OU=SubOU,OU=TopLevelOU,dc=test,dc=com", userName, password,AuthenticationTypes.Secure);

try
{
     DirectoryEntry childGroup = entry.Children.Find("CN=ServerDEV-4283V");
     // create group here
}
catch (DirectoryServicesCOMException exception)
{
    // handle the "child not found" case here ...
}

Is there a way I could do the RegEx like "ServerDEV-4" so I can get 2 top groups?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

A: It turned out the wildcard would be enough.
        DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://YourServer/OU=SubOU,OU=TopLevelOU,dc=test,dc=com", userName, password,AuthenticationTypes.Secure);

try

This past Sunday in Truth Quest, our kids learned about the parable of the wedding feast. Jesus' parable of the wedding feast is more than a simple story about a king's rude guests. The parable reveals the King (God the Father) who seeks to honor His Son (Jesus) with a banquet. Though many people are invited to the kingdom of heaven, few will choose to come.
In the parable, the religious leaders are represented by the guests who refused to come to the wedding banquet. They had been invited, but when the king's servants told them the feast was ready, they did not want to come. Instead, they went about their lives - to their farms and businesses. Some of them even killed the king's messengers!
What an insult to the king! These people had turned down an invitation to the most wonderful and joyous event they could imagine. The king would have given His best to honor his son, and the king reacted justly. He punished those who rejected him and invited others instead - those not in the city, both the good and the bad.
Likewise, God invites Gentiles into His kingdom. No one is refused based on his or her economic or social standing. The King Himself provides the required attire - robes of righteousness, like those given to Joshua the high priest. (See Zech. 3:3-4.) The King rejects those who try to come by their own merit - in their own clothes - as the man without wedding clothes did.
Salvation is a free gift. We can't earn our way into heaven. Jesus did all the work when He died for our sins on the cross. This story reminds us that we need to be clothed in Christ's righteousness. Jesus invites us to join Him in heaven - the great wedding feast. When we receive His invitation, Jesus gets us ready by clothing us in His righteousness.


Pembrolizumab significantly improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) as first-line treatment for squamous non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the pivotal phase 3 KEYNOTE-407 trial.
Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) has now demonstrated improved survival benefit in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 5 phase 3 trials as Merck announced that the anti–PD-1 therapy, in combination with paclitaxel, as first-line treatment for metastatic squamous NSCLC, improved survival in the phase 3 KEYNOTE-407 trial.
Based on an interim analysis, the addition of pembrolizumab to carboplatin-paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel demonstrated longer overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) than chemotherapy alone, meeting the study's dual primary end points.
The safety profile of the therapy in the combination was consistent with that previously observed in lung cancer, according to Merck.
"As first-line treatment, Keytruda in combination with traditional chemotherapy has not demonstrated an improved survival benefit, compared to chemotherapy alone, in metastatic lung cancer patients with squamous histology," said Roger M. Perlmutter, MD, president, Merck, in a statement.
KEYNOTE-407 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial including 560 untreated patients with metastatic squamous NSCLC. Patients had no previous systemic therapy for advanced disease. Primary endpoints were OS and PFS, and secondary endpoints included objective response rate, which was alpha-controlled in a cohort of the first 200 patients, and duration of response.
Data from the trial will be presented at the 2018 ASCO Meeting held in Chicago, Illinois, from June 1-5.
Last month, Merck announced that pembrolizumab monotherapy as first-line treatment in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC met its primary endpoint of OS in the phase 3 KEYNOTE-042 trial. When compared with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of 1% or higher, the therapy significantly improved OS.
Shortly after, the pharmaceutical company announced that the FDA had granted priority review to their Biologics License Application for pembrolizumab in combination with pemetrexed (Alimta) and platinum chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC. The acceptance was based on OS and PFS data from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-189 trial.

Riley County counts 12 COVID-19-related deaths to date, announcing one new death this month. An 88-year-old female resident of Leonardville Nursing Home passed away last week at Ascension Via Christi Hospital.
There are five positive patients currently hospitalized at Ascension Via Christi in Manhattan.
Riley County reported a 9.7 percent positivity rate for the week of Oct. 25, a 3.3 percent increase from the previous week. The most recent report from Kansas State showed an on-campus positivity rate nearing five percent.
Since Aug. 17, the first day of classes at Kansas State, the county has added more than 1,700 new cases of COVID-19.
Up-to-date information about pending tests is unavailable at this time. The local health department reports 20,213 negative results.

Caliber 2755 is an hand-wound movement with perpetual calendar, minute repeater and tourbillon escapement. This movement is certified with the Hallmark of Geneva. It has a power reserve indicator on the back. It consists of a total of 602 parts.
Caught between the desire to extend the frontiers of technical possibility and concern over the practical use of this multi-complication movement, Vacheron Constantin's engineers and watchmakers came up with an original device to regulate the repeater's chiming rate: a centripetal governor.
The role of this device is to steady the rate at which the hammers strike the gongs of a chiming watch to repeat the hours, quarters and minutes in a series of notes. Without a regulator, the spring-driven strike would come out in a rush of indiscernible notes.
The device developed by Vacheron Constantin goes further than the more traditional strike regulator – a noisy recoil escapement with a lever that is subject to wear.
During the development of the movement for the Tour de l'Ile anniversary watch of 2005, Vacheron Constantin's engineers and watchmak-ers sought to replace the strike's escapement governor with a totally silent system that would reduce wear. A centrifugal governor existed, essentially a flywheel with a pair of weights that moved away from the centre as it spun to slow the wheel by increasing its inertia. Nevertheless, true to the tradition of a brand whose motto recalls that it is always possible to do better, Vacheron Constantin's watchmakers preferred to steer their choice towards a centripetal strike governor.
This device has two weights shaped so as to act as a brake on the governor's rotating shaft, thus evening-out the energy released by the repeater's spring. To achieve this, it uses the opposite centrifugal and centripetal forces. When the governor spins, the centrifugal force pivots one end of the weights outwards so that the other end acts as a brake on the central shaft to bring the rotation and the strike to a steady rate. This original and undoubtedly unique device is quite silent. The enthusiast can satisfy his curiosity while marvelling at the spinning governor through the sapphire-crystal caseback.

First 2017 Ford GT rolls off assembly line
Ford's latest supercar will run into 2020
It's been almost two years since we saw the Ford GT at the 2015 Detroit auto show. Since then, we've had plenty of GT news. Today, the first of Ford's latest supercar will roll off the assembly line at the Multimatic facility in Markham, Ontario, and eventually make its way to one of the lucky few who got on the list.
We spotted prototypes out in the wild testing in all sorts of weather conditions. Dealers had to spend $30,000 in upgrades just to service the new supercar. A GT took its class at Le Mans -- along with third and fourth place. Eager applicants waited to hear if they would get an opportunity to even buy the 2017 GT. And we've been patiently waiting for this day.
Ford GT at Le Mans: 2017 Autoweek Moment Award
"When we kicked off 2016, we had two primary objectives for our Ford GT supercar: to excel at Le Mans and to start deliveries before year-end," says Raj Nair, Ford executive vice president, global product development, and chief technical officer. "We've achieved both.
"For everyone involved in designing and developing this car, including all of our employees and suppliers, this is a moment to celebrate," he added. "The all-new Ford GT is a showcase of our strength in innovation and our commitment to delivering more for our customers -- especially related to lightweight materials, aerodynamics and EcoBoost engine technologies."
The 2017 Ford GT is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, which is said to make more than 600 hp. The engine is home to a host of new technologies such as port/direct dual fuel-injection and low-friction roller-finger-follower valvetrain.

Scottish Labour members and trade unionists have until noon today to cast their votes to elect the party's new leadership team.
Tens of thousands of people have taken part in the contest which was triggered by the resignation of former leader Johann Lamont in October.
Her deputy Anas Sarwar also stood down.
Former Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy, MP for East Renfrewshire, and Lothians MSPs Sarah Boyack and Neil Findlay are competing for the top job.
Elgin's Kezia Dugdale, also a Lothians MSP, and Katy Clark, MP for North Ayrshire and Arran, are battling for the deputy role.
The candidates will learn their fate in Glasgow on Saturday.
As she stood down, Ms Lamont described some of her Westminster colleagues as dinosaurs who were trying to run Scotland "like a branch office of London".
All three leadership candidates have vowed to change the way the party operates and are in favour of devolving power away from Holyrood to serve communities.
Two recent opinion polls suggested the SNP is in line to win most of Scotland's 59 Westminster seats at the general election in May.
Last night Mr Murphy said the UK's future was in Scotland's hands for the second time in less than a year.
"With the delivery of the devolution vow on more powers for the Scottish Parliament, change is coming to Scotland," he added.
A spokesman for Mr Findlay's campaign said the contest was "going to the wire".
"Neil has led this debate with his messages on social housing, tackling inequality, rail re-nationalisation and changing our education system," he added.

Q: Is it true that all $k$-submanifolds of a $m$-manifold are open subsets of some closed $k$-submanifold? Let $M$ be a $m$-dimensional (smooth) manifold. I know that $m$-submanifolds of $M$ are exactly the open subsets of $M$. Is it true that all $k$-submanifolds of $M$ are open subsets of some closed $k$-submanifold of $M$?

A: No. For example, in $\mathbb R^2$, the union of the $x$-axis and the $y$-axis with the origin removed is a $1$-submanifold. Any closed submanifold containing it would have to contain the origin. But there's no $1$-submanifold that contains the origin and both axes.


The stereo command sets the current stereo mode. Stereo mode is a convenient way to "see" 3D with two images from slightly different angles.
There are corresponding stereo and stereo_mode settings which are controlled by the stereo command, so you don't need to set them directly.
