BACKGROUND: Pancreaticoduodenectomies (PDs) are complex surgical procedures that require high-standard perioperative care. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of implementing an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program for PD on patient outcome. METHODS: 230 patients undergoing PD in the Maastricht University Medical Centre between January 1995 and January 2012 were included. Group 1 (no ERAS; 1995-2005) received traditional care. From January 2006, several elements of an ERAS pathway for pancreatic surgery were implemented (group 2: 'ERAS-like'). From 2009 onwards the ERAS pathway was fully implemented (group 3: ERAS). Mortality, complications, readmissions and length of hospital stay (LOS) were evaluated in the subgroups and compared. RESULTS: Median LOS was significantly reduced from 20 days in group 1 to 13 days in group 2 and 14 days in group 3 (p = 0.001). Median LOS of patients without complications was 16, 10 and 9 days in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively (p < 0.0001). Over time, the average age of patients undergoing PD increased significantly. Complication rates as well as mortality and readmission rates did not change over time. CONCLUSION: Implementing an ERAS program contributed to a decrease of LOS without compromising other outcomes. Mortality, morbidity and readmission rates stayed unchanged and more complications were managed non-operatively.

Understand how to use proportions to solve problems.
In this lesson, students learn to solve proportions. To determine their readiness, organize students into pairs. Assign the pairs the fractions 3/4 and 1/12. Ask students to determine whether or not they are equivalent. Ask students to tell you how they know. Then have them write equivalent fractions for both fractions. Provide more practice problems, if necessary.
A proportion is a statement of the equality of two ratios. Present a real-life example of a proportion to students. Say: 36 slices of bread will make 12 club sandwiches. How many slices of bread do I need to make 8 club sandwiches? Tell students that they don't have to solve the problem now, but after completing this lesson, they will be able to write and solve a proportion to find the answer. Revisit the problem at the end of the lesson, and invite a volunteer to write a proportion and solve the problem.
Represent Real-World Problems: Have students read the first paragraph and identify the proportion in the problem width/length=10/19. Then organize students into pairs. Have pairs work together to read the problem, and write and solve the proportion. Afterward, ask one student from each pair to write the proportion and its solution on the board. Compare solutions and resolve any discrepancies that may occur.
Build Solution Pathways: Read the first paragraph to students. Invite students to share solution strategies they like to use most often, such as creating visuals or listing steps. Work with students to help them solve Example 4 in the two ways the text suggests. Have students discuss in small groups which method they prefer, and why. Then have them choose a method to complete the sidebar activity.
Restate Examples: Invite students to select an example from the lesson to explain to the class, to a group, or to a partner. Afterward, have the partner or a student in the group or class restate or explain the solution process in his or her own words, using simple vocabulary to explain the more complicated processes.
Interpret Information: Have students go online to find examples of architectural house or room plans. Have student locate the scales used to create the plans. Then have them use proportions to recreate a plan to double the size of the house or room.

Hi Mr. Shervin, Wow…what a day! Thank you (and everyone on your team) for the amazing celebration. The minute we walked into the studio you could feel the high energy and it never let down. All the hard work of planning, preparation, and then providing the celebration was obvious. The generosity of the DMA families was also obvious. Under your leadership everyone wanted to be a part of this day, whether it was the donation of raffle prizes, donations/bidding at the auction, activities on the patio, and donation of refreshments.It also became a very emotional day. There was lots of laughter with some of the demos and many moments of being in awe with other demos. Then came the warm and lovely feeling you shared as you honored the many people that surround you.Thank you again for the wonderful day.
Dear Mr. Shervin, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you have done for my family and for me personally. Martial arts has been a part of my boys lives for six years now. In that time you have helped Josh and I teach them respect, dedication, honesty, friendship and love. You have enriched their lives, and their little sister's as well, not simply by teaching them kicks and punches, but by instructing them in the martial way. Your gift with children is well known and real; we feel blessed that we have seen first hand what an amazingly positive impact you have on the attitudes and lives of the children in your program. I also wanted to tell you that I will NEVER be able to thank you for bringing me on the mat to train with you. I could never explain in a simple letter the depth of what martial arts has done for my life. From my very first class I knew I was hooked. You have introduced me to a world that has sparked a passion and inspired me to learn and grow each day. You have helped me work through several serious injuries… ones that almost broke my spirit. Your encouragement, prodding, tough love and understanding taught me to persevere no matter what. Life may throw us obstacles, it inevitably will. You reminded me that HOW we handle those obstacles determines the course of our lives. Both Josh and I can not speak highly enough of your program or you as an instructor. Every class is unique, each day a new challenge. As a family we are enriched by training together as well as by the messages you instill in us. Thank you for ALL that you do and ALL that you give to us. OSU!
This facility is outstanding. I prefer diamonds over stars. Mr. Shervin is an exceptional instructor. We have trained with him for 10 years. I recommend this studio for teenagers. Thank you Mr. Shervin.

6.5 magnitude earthquake strikes off Indonesia coast, USGS says
By Doug G. Ware
A 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia Wednesday, as charted above by the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake was so strong it reportedly shook office buildings in Singapore, 330 miles away. Map courtesy U.S. Geological Survey
SUNGAIPENUH, Indonesia, June 1 (UPI) -- A powerful 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia late Wednesday, U.S. geological officials said.
The quake was centered in the Mentawai Basin, the U.S. Geological Survey said, which is just off the coast of West Sumatra province. It struck just before 6 a.m. local time.
Office buildings in Singapore, more than 300 miles to the northeast, swayed and shook as the tremor hit, Bloomberg reported.
Details of structural damage or injuries were not immediately known. Indonesian officials said the quake did not trigger a tsunami warning.
Seismic activity is common in Indonesia, which is part of the so-called Pacific Rim. Regular convergence between the Indo-Australia and Sunda tectonic plates often results in earthquakes near the Mentawai Basin.
The Pacific Rim also sees regular volcanic activity.
"In addition to the current seismic hazards along this portion of the Sunda arc, this region is also recognized as having one of the highest volcanic hazards in the world," the USGS says on its website. "One of the most dramatic eruptions in human history was the Krakatau eruption on August 26-27, 1883, a volcano just to the southeast of the island of Sumatra, which resulted in over 35, 000 casualties."

Silent Night 2018
Monday - Dachau
Following an 8.5 hour flight to Munich, the tour's first stop was the Dachau Memorial Site. Created in 1933, Dachau was among the major WWII Nazi concentration camps.
"Throughout its history, Dachau was primarily a camp for men; it was used to incarcerate Communists, Social Democrats, trade union leaders, religious dissidents, common criminals, Gypsy men, homosexuals, asocials, spies, resistance fighters, and others who were considered 'enemies of the state.' It was not a death camp for the genocide of the Jews, although there were Jewish prisoners at Dachau.
During its 12-year history, Dachau had 206,206 registered arrivals and there were 31,951 certified deaths. Many of the Dachau prisoners, including Jews, were released after serving an indeterminate sentence. The Jews were always kept isolated from the other prisoners and were treated far worse than the others.
Dachau was the place where many famous, high-level political opponents of the Nazi government were held near the end of the war. Just before the camp was liberated, there were 137 VIP prisoners at Dachau, including the former Chancellor of Austria, Kurt von Schuschnigg, and the former Jewish premier of France, Leon Blum. They were evacuated to the South Tyrol in April 1945 on three separate trips, shortly before soldiers of the American Seventh Army arrived to liberate the camp."

Financial constraints are major challenges facing Governors in running Health Dockets in their respective counties, Busia Governor Sospeter Ojaamong has revealed.
Speaking during the burial of his niece Elizabeth Mukhwana Owich, 23, at Mauko in Burumba Ward on Friday, the Governor said they have the ability to manage the docket if the National Government channels more funds to counties.
"The budget for the health department stands at over Ksh7billion. The donor community funds the department to the tune of Ksh3.5b with my Government giving Ksh1.5b, thus the deficit of over Ksh2b," he said.
He told the National Government to allow Governors to cost all devolved functions including Agriculture, ECD and Vocational Training so that the National Government can remit the money to counties.
Governor Ojaamong told the National Government to undertake civic education, admitting that his government is doing a good job despite the limited resources.
He assured county residents that BCRH, Port Victoria, Sio Port, Khunyangu, Nambale, Alupe and Kocholia Sub County Hospitals will meet the required standards by May 2019.
Governor Ojaamong also defended nurses for the splendid job despite the limited resources; he criticized those who heap blame on nurses working at Busia County Referral Hospital saying they are too few.

Income disparity could affect our whole economy
JIM MACLEOD
At risk of ruffling some feathers, we need to look at income inequality in America.
Income distribution in America changed significantly after 2008's Great Recession, leading to a decrease in the number of families who describe themselves as "middle class." Consider these 2018 statistics about wealth distribution in the U.S.: the top 1 percent of all households earned 20 percent of the nation's pre-tax income. The bottom 50 percent of households earned just 13 percent of the nation's pre-tax income — down from 20 percent in 1979, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The 40 percent of households in the middle of the income distribution today earns less than 40 percent of the nation's pre-tax income, down from 45 percent in 1979.
At the helm June 2019
It's finally summer — the season that children and teachers have been longing for.
All over the Lowcountry, we're rolling out the red carpet for the visitors who sustain our economy and show us just how good we've got it living here year-round. From all over the country and the far corners of the world, they're arriving to revel in what we sometimes take for granted: wide, clean beaches; rolling waves; and days filled with golden sunshine.
Who will be controlling your mind?
We can all agree that monopolies are only good for the company that has achieved dominance.
We can all agree that Google, Facebook and Amazon hold virtual monopolies on search, social media and online shopping, respectively, and combined are the main provider of news to a majority of Americans.
At the helm May 2019
The Lowcountry is a special place in the spring.
As the last bit of cold fades away and the wisteria and Carolina jasmine bloom, we're ready to get back outside and explore all the Lowcountry has to offer.
Here at Monthly, we're celebrating mothers in this issue. We hope you enjoy writer Laura Jacobi's story about the sacrifices made by parents of promising young athletes, and our feature about a Hilton Head Island mom who is a social media entrepreneur. We also sit down with Laura Cramer, who is 93 years old and still actively — and very successfully — selling real estate in Sea Pines with her daughter, Carol.
The Internet Turns 30: TIME TO TAKE ACTION
Thirty years ago, a new way of communication emerged. I vividly remember hooking up my Olivetti microcomputer to a landline and transmitting five lines of text to a friend. At the time it felt like we had joined a secret society with a select few in the circle. We couldn't have anticipated how much the invention of the HTML protocol would transform communication.
At the helm April 2019
Spring in the Lowcountry is glorious:
Mother Nature showers us with magenta azaleas, pink camellias and snow-white dogwood blossoms, accompanied by the songs of Carolina wrens, wood thrushes and other local birds. With green-themed March in the rear-view mirror, April is time for Hilton Head Island to get its plaid on — more specifically Heritage Plaid, the modified Royal Stewart tartan created for the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing golf tournament, played annually at Harbour Town Golf Links since 1969.
How "green" is the Lowcountry?
Marc Frey – media entrepreneur
Fifty years ago, Charles Fraser was in tune with the environment long before words like "sustainability," "organic" and "environmentally-friendly" entered the American mainstream. When he pioneered the modern development phase of the Lowcountry, the term "green" meant the color green. Sea Pines at the most southern tip of Hilton Head Island became one of the first developments to use covenants and deed restrictions to protect the environment. The homes were designed to blend in with the pine forests.

Spring is here and it's time to open our windows and our hearts. It's a season of rebirth and reawakening, and at Monthly we are springing into it, full of enthusiasm and ready for new adventures.

Why I am running
By Jim Collett
Good leaders see needs and concerns and bring people together to fix them. My wife would say I have been blessed with this gift, I'd say this is something I love to do. I seek to serve.
Marcia and I adore living on Hilton Head Island, this beautiful place we have called home for 18 years. Both in Maryland, where I spent most of my career as a corporate planner, and here in the Lowcountry during our retirement, I've been involved in numerous efforts to improve our community and have developed a strong ability to bring people together to get things done. This requires a lot of listening and developing a high level of trust.

"Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place."
While reading about love and thinking about Valentine's Day, we stumbled upon this quote by late African-American author and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston. Even for those who proclaim themselves cynical about the holiday, her words are uplifting: Love makes you brave enough to come out of hiding and reveal yourself. But it's also complex. Hurston's use of the verb "crawl" shows how difficult love is — we sometimes enter it reluctantly, slowly, almost against our will.
The World Is Their Office
By Becca Edwards
JARRETT NIXON HELPS PROFESSIONALS WORK FROM ANYWHERE
Jarrett Nixon has had enough of excuses like, "I'll have the time and money to travel and see the world when I retire." That's why he works for Remote Year, a company that helps people work remotely from anywhere in the world.
The company's mission aligns with Nixon's "carpe diem" philosophy: "We're not guaranteed tomorrow," he said. "You have to live life to the fullest and get out there and make some stories."
How High Can You Go?
THE LOWCOUNTRY COULD BENEFIT FROM RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE TO $15 PER HOUR
The Town of Hilton Head Island and the town of Bluffton should raise compensation to a living wage — and Beaufort County businesses should follow suit.
I know some of you cringe hearing me say that, but hear me out.
At Hilton Head Monthly, we believe in the power of positive thinking. We're sure that 2019 will be a great year to live in the Lowcountry.
Since January is here once again, it's time for our annual "Intriguing People" issue featuring some of our area's most fascinating men and women. This year, we celebrate local innovators and inventors. According to the dictionary, while invention is the "creation of a product or introduction of a process for the first time," innovation happens when someone "improves on or makes a significant contribution" to something that has already been invented. To put it another way, Thomas Edison was an inventor and Steve Jobs was an innovator. We're grateful to the Don Ryan Center for Innovation for connecting us with the creative, forward-thinking folks we feature this month.
The holiday season is the most wonderful time of year for many Lowcountry families, and we appreciate you sharing yours with us by reading this issue. The great American writer Washington Irving once said: "'Tis the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart." We couldn't agree more.

Raja Kamarul Bahrin: I didn't get full roof details
Posted in Berita, tagged arkitek, collapsed stadium, Gong Badak, Mecca, Raja Kamarul Bahrin, roof collapsed, Senibahri Arkitek, stadium runtuh, stadium Sultan Mizan on June 5, 2009| Leave a Comment »
KUALA TERENGGANU (NST): Details of the space frame design of the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium roof were never fully supplied to its principal architect Datuk Raja Kamarul Baharin Shah Raja Ahmad.
Raja Kamarul Baharin told the New Straits Times that although his company, Senibahri Arkitek was not responsible for the roof, he had voiced his concern to the state Public Works Department.
"Everybody could see that the frame was deformed," he said.
A Korean contractor was responsible for the design, supply and the installation of the roof, while the rest of the stadium was designed by Senibahri.
He said it was important to obtain details of the roof structure so that engineers could determine if it was suitable.
"I feel this incident could have been avoided if the details had been furnished in full," said Raja Kamarul Bahrain, who is in Mecca performing umrah.
Raja Kamarul Baharin said he initially did not want to comment on the matter but decided to do so after a television station aired his picture when reporting about the collapse.
This, he said, had put him in a bad light, implying that he was responsible for the debacle.
Employees of the stadium's management board said it had been common for them to stumble upon screws, nuts and bolts months before the collapse of the roof on Tuesday.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, an employee said the incident did not come as too much of a surprise as they had felt something like this would happen.
Some believed the lack of maintenance — probably because of the height of the roof, estimated to be about 30m high — was one of the reasons for the collapse.
"Maintenance was supposed to be carried out by the main contractors since the stadium has yet to be handed over to the state government," sources said.
State PWD deputy director Ghazali Hashim said the department had been appointed to investigate the incident which he estimated would take six months to complete.
Ghazali said the stadium was still under the main contractors' warranty.
The collapsed roof caused many red faces in the state as the RM292 million state-of-the-art stadium was built only about a year ago.
Terengganu check new buildings after stadium roof collapse

KUALA TERENGGANU (The Star) : Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said has ordered an immediate inspection of newly completed buildings following Tuesday's roof collapse of the roof of the Gong Badak Stadium.
He said the checks would focus on detecting structural defects, cracks and shoddy workmanship. Some of the new buildings are the indoor stadium, Sultan Mahmud Airport and swimming complex.
He said he himself noticed defects on the roof of the year-old Sultan Mahmud Airport. He said the state would appoint independent consultants to carry out the checks.
On Tuesday, the roof of the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium in Gong Badak, which was completed in June last year, collapsed at 8am.
The incident came only one year after the stadium's completion which cost RM300mil.
Authorities are investigating if the contractors had rushed to complete the stadium ahead of the Malaysia Games in June last year.
Meanwhile, Raja Datuk Kamarul Bahrin Shah of Senibahri Arkitek, the principal architect of the stadium, said he would comment on the collapsed roof in a few days time.
"I can't say anything now as I do not have the full facts," he said when contacted via SMS in Medinah where he is performing the umrah.
Raja Kamarul Baharin said he would return to the country on June 10.

LACMA Announces Landmark Promised Gift of The James Goldstein House
First Gift of Architecture to LACMA Includes Endowment for Maintenance and Preservation of Historic John Lautner House, Gardens, and Contents, as well as Programming
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) announced today that fashion and basketball aficionado James Goldstein has promised his John Lautner-designed home, its contents, and the surrounding estate to LACMA. The promised gift, which is in a new area of collecting for the museum, includes a James Turrell Skyspace in its extensive landscaped tropical gardens, an infinity tennis court, and an entertainment complex.
Mr. Goldstein's extensive fashion collection, works by artists including Ed Ruscha, DeWain Valentine, Bernar Venet, and Kenny Scharf, architectural models of the property, and an iconic Rolls Royce Silver Cloud from 1961 are included in the gift.
Mr. Gold stein said, "Over the course of many meetings with Michael Govan, I was very impressed with his appreciation for the history of the house and the role it has played in the cultural life of Los Angeles, as well as with his vision for continuing that tradition when the house becomes an important part of LACMA's collections. Following last year's 50th anniversary gifts to LACMA, I decided now was the perfect time to announce that I will leave my house and its contents to the museum. Hopefully, my gift will serve as a catalyst to encourage others to do the same to preserve and keep alive Los Angeles's architectural gems for future generations."
Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director, said, "Over several decades, Jim Goldstein has lovingly cared for this house, which is an exceptional example of domestic architecture and a tremendous legacy in our own backyard. Great architecture is as powerful an inspiration as any artwork, and LACMA is honored to care for, maintain, and preserve this house, as well as to enhance access to this great resource for architecture students, scholars, and the public. We are excited to collaborate with other arts institutions on events that speak to Jim's interests and that connect and reach across creative disciplines—architecture, film, fashion, and art."
Elaine Wynn and Tony Ressler, co-chairs of LACMA's board of trustees, commented, "We are so thrilled that the gift of this work of architecture expands LACMA's collections to include one of John Lautner's masterpieces. Jim's generosity demonstrates his belief that his home belongs to the public, and future generations will be able to engage with this prime example of architecture alongside our deep holdings of decorative arts and design."
The James Goldstein House represents a one-of-a-kind collaboration between an architect and patron over more than 30 years. Built in 1963 for Helen and Paul Sheats by John Lautner, the house was purchased by Mr. Goldstein in 1972. Beginning in 1979, when Mr. Goldstein brought the architect to the house, until Lautner's death in 1994, the two worked closely together to rebuild and adapt the house according to Lautner's and Goldstein's ultimate vision, from replacing all the glass in the house to blur the line between the indoor and outdoor to collaborating on custom-built minimalist furniture made of concrete, wood, and glass.
More recently, Mr. Goldstein has been completing an entertainment complex on the property inspired by the main residence and designed by Duncan Nicholson, the last architect hired by Lautner who has worked on The James Goldstein House since his beginnings at Lautner's firm. Construction continues to expand and enhance the space, as well as to develop and maintain the extensive landscaping.
The James Turrell Skyspace, Above Horizon, is located deep in the tropical gardens of the property, and links to major works by Turrell in LACMA's permanent collection—the Ganzfeld Breathing Light, and the Perceptual Cell Light Reignfall. This collaboration between Mr. Goldstein and James Turrell took place over four years and was completed in 2004.
The residence has been the setting fon umerous fashion shoots and music videos, and has been featured in several movies, most notably as Jackie Treehorn's house in the Coen brothers' seminal film, The Big Lebowski (1998). Prominent photographers who have shot at the house include Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Patrick Demarchelier, Michel Comte, Peter Lindbergh, Ellen von Unwerth, Mikael Jansson,and
Philip Lorca di Corcia. John Lautner(1911–1994)
was one of the most significant architects to have worked in Los Angeles. A disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright, he designed from the inside out, often blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor with his use of materials and emphasis on transparency. The James Goldstein House enjoys spectacular views over the Los Angeles basin, encompassing the Pacific shoreline and stretching to the hills and mountains.

Geographic variation in stable isotopic and fatty acid composition of anguilliform leptocephali and particulate organic matter in the South Pacific

The feeding ecology of leptocephali has remained poorly understood because they apparently feed on particulate organic matter (POM), which varies in composition, and it is unclear which components of the POM they assimilate. The δ13C and δ15N stable isotope (SI) and fatty acid (FA) compositions of 3 families of leptocephali and POM were compared in 3 latitudinal current zones of the western South Pacific. The δ15N signatures of leptocephali and POM overlapped, with both having their lowest values in the southern current zone. POM in general (across all zones) contained 38 FAs and was rich in saturated FAs (SFA) (16:0, 18:0, 14:0), while leptocephali contained 50 FAs, with high proportions of 16:0, and higher contributions of 22:6ω3, 20:5ω3, 18:1ω9, 16:1ω7 and other FAs than found in the POM. Serrivomeridae leptocephali in the north had higher δ15N signatures and were also distinguished from Nemichthyidae and Muraenidae larvae by their FA compositions (higher SFAs, lower 22:6ω3 and 20:5ω3). Although SI signatures of the Serrivomeridae larvae did not clearly vary with size, 16:0 and 18:0 FA proportions decreased with increasing larval size, and 22:6ω3 and 16:1ω7 increased in larger larvae. Correspondences between the latitudinal variations in nitrogen SI signatures and FA compositions of POM with those of leptocephali and the presence of FA markers of both autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms were consistent with leptocephali feeding on POM. POM can contain various materials from primary producers and heterotrophic microorganisms, but differences in the SI signatures and FA compositions in leptocephali remain to be explained through further research.


In this forecast, 6 out of 10 top stocks increased as predicted by the algorithm. Clayton Williams Energy, Inc. (CWEI) returned 94.73%, making it the highest returning stock of this package. Other significant returns came from EXACT Sciences Corporation (EXAS) and Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (CDTi) with 52% and 41.51%. The average return for this package was 19.85% as opposed to the S&P 500's mere growth of 0.02 in the same time period.


Good question. My neighbor has pretty much an identical house, could he sell his for $2k more because of it? Probably wouldn't matter in the long run.
Everyone in this thread was right and I was wrong. I should have built a shed last year instead of getting a storage unit. Building one next month.
I need to measure some stuff, but thinking 8x10 or 10x12. Price ranges from $1k to $1,400. Will offer way more space than my storage unit so I'll cancel that.
I think it would be fun to build the shed from scratch with raw materials, but I am thinking a pre-cut kit just so I can knock it out in a day. Looking at this one. Floor and shingles not included. Can also get a 10% off coupon online. I assume I can stack it with the already sales price.
That one looks nice. I kinda want to build a better/bigger one. The people who lived there before us have a very small, plastic shed out back. It's fine but doesn't hold much. Mainly the lawnmower and some garden things.

Immigrants rights group Voces de la Frontera is raising money for a new headquarters on Milwaukee's south side.
The nonprofit group recently launched a campaign to raise $1.6 million so it can move into the new building, at 733 W. Historic Mitchell St., in early 2020, the group announced Friday.
The organization has an anonymous donor who has pledged to match $3 for every $1 up to $400,000 through Dec. 31.
Voces needs more space beyond what it leases at 1027 S. Fifth St., in Walker's Point.
"Anyone who walks into our current office sees a beehive of activity and will immediately notice how cramped and limited the space is, especially for community-driven programs like our highly regarded citizenship classes," Christine Neumann-Ortiz, executive director, said in a statement.
"After a six-year search, we believe we have found our new home, in the heart of the Latinx community in the near south side," she said.
Voces is working with Melissa Goins and Joanne Sabir through their consulting firm, Freedom Endeavors LLC, on the pre-development phase.
Along with increasing its own space, Voces plans to have additional tenant spaces available for nonprofits and businesses that complement its mission.
Voces in May dropped plans to buy the former Forest Home Branch Library, 1432 W. Forest Home Ave., for its headquarters.

I'm Conflicted.
Here's the problem: a new Ed Wood film, which isn't new at all but is a new release of a film previously believed to have been lost, will soon be available on Blu-ray. It has the feel of lost treasure to it, as the film darn near *was* lost to posterity. A few reels of film survived, including those discovered in the projection booth of a theater in Santa Monica in the 90s containing lots of extraneous material. The movie, TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE, was written by Ed Wood, edited by Ed Wood, directed by Ed Wood, and stars Ed Wood. Given that I am a huge mark for Wood, as all longtime readers know, why would this fail to inspire anything less than feelings of bliss in me, you might ask? It's because TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE is a porno.
No, I don't have any kind of moralistic aversion to porno flicks. I may have even seen one or two in my lifetime. The problem is, Ed Wood had to resort to making porno movies, and writing pornographic novels, just to keep food on the table. According to those who knew him, including his closest friends, he hated it. In his heart, he was a serious filmmaker, and there are even those who've suggested that having to stoop to make his living by creating pornography directly fed his depression, which fueled his rampant alcoholism, which killed him at the far too young age of 54. Would owning and viewing TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE, then, be a celebration of Ed Wood, or a celebration of the thing that ultimately destroyed his life?
It generates the same sort of feeling I get from films such as BELA LUGOSI MEETS A BROOKLYN GORILLA. I can't help but think how much better the men were than their material, how it was beneath them, and it breaks my heart that they had to resort to taking such gigs in the first place. These men were royalty and had to go slumming. Do I really want to own and view an example of this latter, or would it be better to focus on the work they were proud of? Granted, their respective career highpoints, DRACULA for Lugosi and PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE for Wood, occupy opposite ends of the cinematic spectrum, but those movies were their respective masterpieces. I just don't know if I want to see Ed doing something he hated, doing it not because he wanted to but because he had no choice. He didn't, but I do. So what should I choose?

Not every game from 1982 warrants recycling, but the addictive Oil's Well is worth a second look. Originally released for 8-bit cartridge computers, the game is now fully redesigned to take advantage of high-resolution VGA graphics and sound cards. But even if your computer is a standard system limited to CGA graphics and ordinary internal speaker sounds. Oil's Well promises hours of amusement.
The object of the game is to maneuver an oil-drill bit deep beneath the earth's surface, guzzling every drop of crude you encounter along the way. The more oil devoured before time runs out, the higher your total score. You earn extra points when you gobble oil goblets and avoid the destructive little beasties that delight in demolishing your oil-drilling equipment. Steer clear of land mines, or your bit will bite the dust and gobble goo no more. Be prepared to wage several battles against unrelenting environmental opposition before you navigate an entire screen.
Since you begin each game with only three drill bits and your first replacement is 10,000 points away, each bit is precious. Ingest all the oil pellets onscreen, and you advance to the next maze of obstacles. But don't give up! Oil's Well only ends well if you meet Slater, an animated petrosaur who lives beneath the oil fields.
Oil's Well is perfect for when you want mindless arcadelike challenges; despite drilling deep, there's no depth of play. Nevertheless, Oil's Well delivers good fun.

Crocodylus anthropophagus es una especie extinta de cocodrilo del Plioceno-Pleistoceno de Tanzania. Vivió hace 1,84 millones de años.

Etimología

El nombre anthropophagus viene del griego "anthropos" y "phagos" que significa antropófago, en referencia a las pruebas encontradas que demuestran que este animal incluía a homínidos en su dieta.

Distribución
La localidad tipo es del Plio-Pleistoceno, en la Garganta de Olduvai en el norte de Tanzania. Su localidad tipo está cerca de las de los homínidos Homo habilis y Paranthropus boisei.

Descripción

La descripción se basa en un cráneo y un esqueleto parciales. Tenía unos prominentes "cuernos" triangulares sobre los oídos y un morro relativamente largo, que recuerda al recientemente extinto cocodrilo malgache Voay robustus, pero el Crocodylus anthropophagus carece de otros caracteres encontrados en los osteolaeminos comparte similitudes con las especies actuales de Crocodylus.

Paleoecología
Crocodylus anthropophagus fue el mayor predador que encontraron los homínidos de la Garganta de Olduvai, tal como indican las marcas de mordedura que aparecen en algunos de ellos.

General Studies 2: Government policies and interventions for development in various sectors and issues arising out of their design and implementation
General Studies 3: Role of media and social networking sites in internal security challenges, Basics of cyber security
In News: Cambridge Analytica is said to have accessed Facebook users' data without permission and, is claimed to have helped manipulate election results. SCL had access of user data through a Facebook app called "thisisyourdigitallife" and the app was downloaded by 270,000 people. The firm got the data from a researcher who paid 270,000 Facebook users to complete a psychological profile quiz back in 2014. But the quiz gathered information on their friends as well, bringing the total number of people affected to about 50 million.
As the news of the breach spread, a hashtag emerged, #deletefacebook, which ironically trended on the social media site. This is not the first instance of a data breach on Facebook— but it surely is one of the biggest so far.
Data Analytics in the times of Social Media:
Governments over the world has increasingly started using the social media to establish a voice and presence on the platform and invite citizen engagement, embed information in new media channels that citizens frequent daily, leverage crowds to pull information on security/law and order issues, for coordinating community policing efforts and to put a human face on policing.
Nowadays, businesses are collecting small pieces of data leading to a profile creation to influence his/her mode of thinking by 'using data analytics'. This is helpful in influencing a person to show his/her interest in the advertisements by the businesses.
The Way Ahead:
Responsibility of an individual: The problems plaguing social network security and privacy issues, can only be resolved if users take a more careful approach to what they share and how much.
With the growth of social networks, it's becoming harder to effectively monitor and protect site users and their activity because the tasks of security programmers become increasingly spread out.
Crimes of house burglary and child kidnapping have been taking place as users themselves inform the world that they are vulnerable to the same by posting photos of their vacation or the whereabouts of the children as frequent updates.
Responsibility of the social media channel: Private data needs to be private and no information should be shared without prior information/ consent with any third party.
Responsibility of the State: Vigilance and training are crucial to minimizing risks for individuals and business, and therefore the State needs to incorporate this into legislation.
A national law on cyber security is the need of the hour, and absence of which has resulted in a fertile ground for for the misuse and unauthorised access of users' data by the service providers.
India should not allow its data to be stored outside its boundaries. Service providers must (be made to pay) high penalty if they are found to be misusing the data of Indians irrespective of if they are physically located in the country or not
India should also not cut-paste any other country's law as India's social realities are entirely different. The country has to deal with the huge issue of Aadhaar which is reeling under variety of cyber-attacks because we have failed to apply cyber security as an integral part of the Aadhaar architecture.
Political parties should refrain from using the same data to manipulate the public opinion.
Discuss the ways in which Social Media should be regulated to thwart the security challenges posed by its burgeoning growth in India.
With social media becoming more and more socially and politically relevant, should there be a strong regulatory mechanism for it? Discuss

The agreement includes the Fundador, Harveys, Terry and Tres Cepas brands, as well as production operations in Jerez and Tomelloso, Spain. Fundador is currently a top-selling brandy in the Philippines, where Emperador is based. Last year, Emperador—a subsidiary of Alliance Global Group, Inc.—purchased Whyte & Mackay Ltd., one of the world's leading Scotch producers.
•AB InBev is reportedly considering selling off the Peroni and Grolsch beer brands as it seeks regulatory approval for its pending $107 billion acquisition of SABMiller. According to multiple reports, the two brands, which are currently in the SABMiller stable, could be sold to satisfy European regulators, with potential buyers including Heineken, Molson Coors and C&C Group. In the U.S., Peroni and Grolsch are handled by MillerCoors, the SABMiller-Molson Coors joint venture. Molson Coors has agreed to acquire full control of MillerCoors for $12 billion in another transaction intended to improve regulators' view of the AB InBev-SABMiller merger. AB InBev is also said to be considering an IPO of Carlton & United (formerly known as Foster's). The Australian reports that the brewing giant is currently exploring the possibility of a float of Carlton & United upon completion of its merger with SABMiller. SABMiller acquired Carlton & United for A$12.3 billion ($9.2b) four years ago.

US President Donald Trump to Use Korea's 'Road to Reunification' as 2020 Election Ploy

The impromptu but historic meeting between US President Donald Trump and his North and South Korean counterparts in the Korean demilitarized zone (DMZ) marked a number of firsts for the three nations, but Trump could see this as just another cog in his political machine.
Following a failed summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, many skeptics were proven wrong when Trump, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae In met at the DMZ for the first time on Sunday.
It was there that Trump became the first US president to set foot on North Korean land.

However, this meeting was much less formal than the previous summits in Hanoi and Singapore, with the US president appearing to first float the idea via Twitter.
After some very important meetings, including my meeting with President Xi of China, I will be leaving Japan for South Korea (with President Moon). While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 28, 2019
It would later be revealed that DC-based news outlet The Hill spoke with Trump on June 24 concerning the planned meeting, but ultimately delayed its report per a White House request that cited "security concerns," according to a clarifying tweet from reporter Jordan Fabian.
Phoning in from Seoul, South Korea, Sputnik News analyst and Radio Sputnik producer Walter Smolarek spoke with Loud and Clear on Monday to explain what this meeting means for diplomacy and communicate the South Korean public's perception of it.
"The extreme, conservative element of South Korean politics are less happy about it, but really, almost across the spectrum, it's a positive reaction," Smolarek told host John Kiriakou, though he did note that Moon Chung In, President Moon's national security adviser, did seem more cautious than hopeful when he discussed the DMZ meetup with Sputnik on Friday. In fact, the adviser had his doubts about Kim even showing up.
The news analyst added that coverage by South Korean media presents a "stark contrast of how the media of the United States is talking about it," due to many mainstream US outlets' consistent opposition to anything diplomatic from Trump's administration.
Smolarek went on to note that improved relations between the Koreas and the US reduces the power of war hawks such as US National Security Adviser John Bolton, who was prepared to make a preemptive strike against North Korea.
Getting into the details surrounding reunification of the Korean Peninsula, the Radio Sputnik producer noted that both Pyongyang and Seoul seem determined to end the decades-long separation between their peoples and reunify families ripped apart by the 1950-53 Korean War.
"A peace treaty, I think, is sort of like one of the big milestones along the road to reunification," Smolarek explained. "A lot of people in the United States don't know that in 1953 the Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty, and that means that the United States is, technically, still at war with North Korea."
Smolarek predicted Trump will use this technicality for the purpose of advancing his campaign ahead of the 2020 presidential election, selling himself as a peacemaker in the Korean Peninsula.
With US officials and mainstream outlets holding quite different approaches and attitudes toward the peninsula's reconciliation efforts, it remains to be seen whether these showings of unity are the seeds of lasting peace or if they will disappear as quickly as they are being made.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
Before CHAMBERS and CANBY, Circuit Judges, and BATTIN, District Judge*.
CANBY, Circuit Judge.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) on behalf of non-minority employees of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (Department) appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment to the Department and Dennison. The union contends that the court erred in refusing to compensate non-minority employees denied promotions as a result of an affirmative action program established pursuant to a consent decree between the Department and Dennison. The district court held that the IBEW action was barred as a collateral attack on the consent decree. Alternatively, it concluded that even if the suit was not a collateral attack, the consent decree was proper and the employees were not entitled to any compensation. We affirm the district court's decision on the ground that the present action is an impermissible collateral attack.
In 1973, Dennison, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated minority employees, brought suit against the Department. He alleged that its hiring and promotion policies discriminated on the basis of race and national origin. In February 1977, the parties settled the class action by entering into a consent decree. Part of the decree provides that 50% of all initial hirings and promotions will be awarded to qualified black and hispanic class members until all identifiable past applicants have had the opportunity to be hired or promoted at least once. The affirmative action provisions are to remain in effect until February 1987.
On March 21, 1977, the district court conducted a Fairness Hearing to allow persons who had previously submitted written objections to the consent decree the opportunity to present orally their objections to the court. Written notice of the hearing was sent to all employees. The IBEW appeared at the hearing and, among other objections, criticized the adverse impact of the consent decree on non-minority employees. On March 24, 1977, the district court approved the consent decree.
In October 1977, Kennedy and Balsz, two non-minority employees, took promotion examinations. As a result of the affirmative action program required by the Dennison consent decree, they were denied promotions. Both filed charges of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and in January 1979 each received a Notice of Right to Sue. In March, 1979, Kennedy, Balsz and the IBEW initiated this suit.
It is settled that a consent decree is not subject to collateral attack, Culbreath v. Dukakis, 630 F.2d 15, 22 (1st Cir. 1980); O'Burn v. Shapp, 70 F.R.D. 549 (E.D.Pa.1976) aff'd without opinion 546 F.2d 417 (3d Cir. 1976) cert. denied, 430 U.S. 968, 97 S.Ct. 1650, 52 L.Ed.2d 359 (1977); Prate v. Freedman, 430 F.Supp. 1373 (W.D.N.Y.) aff'd without opinion 573 F.2d 1294 (2d Cir. 1977) cert. denied 436 U.S. 922, 98 S.Ct. 2274, 56 L.Ed.2d 765 (1978). See Black and White Children v. School District, 464 F.2d 1030 (6th Cir. 1972) (per curiam); Burns v. Board of School Commissioners, 437 F.2d 1143 (7th Cir. 1971) (per curiam). IBEW contends, however, that it is not contesting the validity of the decree; rather it seeks monetary relief for those non-minority employees adversely affected by the affirmative action provision. The district court properly rejected this argument as substantively, albeit not formally, an impermissible collateral attack.
Compensatory relief is generally intended to make whole the plaintiff for any losses he may have incurred as a result of the defendant's wrongdoing. Thus implicit in the IBEW's prayer for relief is the contention that the operation of the consent degree itself constitutes a compensable wrong. So to hold in this proceeding would be to permit a collateral attack on the consent decree.
Awarding compensatory relief to the non-minority employees would impose conflicting or inconsistent obligations on the Department. Each time the Department attempted to comply with the affirmative action program by promoting a minority employee, it would have to give an equivalent amount of compensation to a non-minority employee who would have been promoted but for the consent decree. That extra compensation would drastically increase the cost of each promotion and would burden the Department for complying with the consent decree. The decree established who was entitled to promotion, and the present action indirectly seeks to confer the benefits of promotion on others. The relief sought in the present action is accordingly in conflict with the decree.
Moreover, we feel that permitting the IBEW to sue for compensation would be inimical to the policy underlying Title VII of promoting settlements. Cf. Alexander v. Gardener-Denver Corp., 415 U.S. 36, 44, 94 S.Ct. 1011, 1017, 39 L.Ed.2d 147 (1974); United States v. City of Miami, 614 F.2d 1322, 1331-32 (5th Cir. 1980) (citing cases). The Department would in effect be forced to walk a tightrope. If it refused to enter into the consent decree, it would be potentially liable to the Dennison class plaintiffs. If it did enter into the agreement, it would be subject to suits for compensation by non-minority employees. Cf. United Steelworkers v. Weber, 443 U.S. 193, 209, 99 S.Ct. 2721, 2730, 61 L.Ed.2d 480 (1979) (Blackmun J. concurring); Weber v. Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp., 563 F.2d 216, 230 (5th Cir. 1978) (dissenting opinion).1
Finally, we reject IBEW's contention that it was not notified of the Dennison suit and the impending consent decree until shortly before the Fairness Hearing and that it was therefore precluded from any direct attack upon the decree. The union had sufficient opportunity to intervene in the Dennison suit prior to the entry of the consent decree.2 See Alaniz v. Tillie Lewis Foods, 572 F.2d 657 (9th Cir. 1978) (per curiam) cert. denied, 439 U.S. 837, 99 S.Ct. 123, 58 L.Ed.2d 134 (1978). Moreover, the Fairness Hearing held before the consent decree was formally adopted adequately afforded the union an opportunity to present to the court its view of the adverse impact of the decree on non-minority employees.
Because the IBEW's suit is barred as an impermissible collateral attack on the consent decree, we need not consider the merits of awarding damages to non-minority employees adversely affected by the adoption of an affirmative action plan. The district court's grant of summary judgment is affirmed.
The Honorable James Battin, United States District Judge, for the District of Montana, sitting by designation
We accordingly reject the view of the district court in McAleer v. American Telephone & Telegraph Co., 416 F.Supp. 435 (D.D.C.1976), that an employee allegedly denied a promotion because his employer was complying with a consent decree is entitled to damages. That court held that denying relief to the employee would unfairly burden him with the consequences of a judicial decree necessitated by the employer's wrongdoing. For reasons stated previously in this opinion, we find the district court's reasoning unpersuasive. See also Telephone Workers v. New Jersey Bell Telephone Co., 450 F.Supp. 284, 298 (D.N.J.1977), aff'd 584 F.2d 31 (3d Cir. 1978)
Harmon v. San Diego County, 477 F.Supp. 1084 (S.D.Cal.1979) relied upon by appellants is inapposite. In Harmon, plaintiff, a white male who was twice passed over for a civil service position despite being best qualified, brought suit under Title VII. The County asserted that it had acted pursuant to a consent decree which prohibited it from discriminating on the basis of race, sex or national origin and that Harmon's suit was a collateral attack on the decree. The district court gave two reasons for rejecting the County's argument. First, the consent decree did not implement any affirmative action program. Thus, had the County selected Harmon, it would not have been in violation of the consent decree. Second, Harmon had twice attempted to intervene in the consent decree action, but his efforts were strenuously and successfully opposed by the County. 477 F.Supp. at 1091
Neither rationale is applicable to the present case. As previously discussed, permitting non-minority employees compensatory relief would impose conflicting or inconsistent obligations on the Department. It would also undermine the policy of promoting settlements in Title VII suits.
The second reason mentioned by the district court in Harmon is also unavailing. Unlike Harmon who was twice prevented from intervening in the consent decree litigation, IBEW never attempted to intervene in the Dennison suit.

Let us set aside the attributes of Nectar bed mattress for a minute. The mattress comes with a risk free trial of 365 nights. That is one whole year of trial for every single consumer. This is unheard of. The majority of brands offer up to a hundred nights of trial. Even then, numerous enter into a sort of a disagreement or tussle throughout the returns. Nectar uses free shipping and hassle totally free returns for a year. Then there is the lifetime warranty. You would get 10 years which too restricted service warranty on the majority of mattresses. Some brand names will be a little generous and will use you twenty years restricted warranty. Compare that with the life time guarantee of Nectar and you would get one apparent reason that it is offering so well. Nectar bed mattress is also amongst the most reasonably priced today. It is hundreds of dollars less expensive than most brand names and one does not even have to consider the brand names that charge 3 thousand for a full size or queen size bed mattress.
Nectar bed mattress is mild yet firm, bouncy yet there is a small sink in and it has optimal assistance with unmatched comfort. The item is a result of three years of development, 10 thousand client tests and contemplation of numerous materials to ensure the safest, healthiest and most durable as well as comfy components enter into the recipe for a perfectly satiating sleep. Nectar mattress is hypoallergenic. Nectar mattress has a tencel cooling cover that promotes air circulation. It is resistant to bedbugs and helps with heat wicking. The gel memory foam is accountable for even circulation of weight, helping with pressure relief. Sleepers will not feel any pressure point and will sleep in harmony. The breathing base layer is simply as steady as it is practical to strengthen the contouring. Without adequate support and stability, the whole mattress will lose its convenience, firmness, bounce and coolness.
Nectar uses a layer of quilted gel memory foam, a layer of adaptive hi core memory foam, CertiPUR Certified materials that do not include mercury or lead, TDCPP or PBDEs or any substance that causes ozone exhaustion. Nectar mattress likewise has Oeko-TeX accreditation for the tencel natural fiber cover. The 4 layers of foam provide the ideal strength, stability, convenience, firmness and pressure relief for every single sleeper.
Nectar Mattress can be found in the basic size sizes. The Twin weighs 45 lbs, Twin XL weighs 48 pounds, Full weighs 68 lbs, Queen weighs 74 pounds, King weighs 89 lbs and California King weighs 89 lbs. Nectar is among the lighter mattresses despite being eleven inches thick. Nectar mattress works completely with box spring beds, queen bases, traditional frames, adjustable bases, floor or platform and other expensive bed. The Twin size sells for $500, Twin XL sells for $550, Full is $700, Queen is $795, King is $900 and California King is $900. These prices can go down by more than a hundred dollars with direct official discount rate or with vouchers.
Among the common Nectar bed mattress complaints or rather issue highlighted by some individuals is where is Nectar mattress made? Nectar bed mattress is developed in the US. It is assembled in the United States. But it is manufactured in China. This is quite like the Apple products. Lots of critics and specialists have actually highlighted that although the bed mattress is produced in China that makes little distinction as numerous products sold in the US are in fact made in the Asian production hub. Some buyers and a couple of critics have highlighted how Nectar is a fairly brand-new business and hence does not have the sort of credibility or credibility as some other brands that have been around longer. This too is not truly a critique however an effort to change the focus from the attributes of the mattress and how well it is selling with customers being entirely satiated.
Among the rather unfounded Nectar bed mattress complaints has actually been the absence of Nectar mattress client service. Some individuals mention how they might not discover the Nectar bed mattress phone number while it is clearly discussed on the contact page of the main website. You can call 0344 811 0811 on Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekends or holidays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is not a toll complimentary number though and local rates will use depending upon the service provider. There is also a multipronged approach to Nectar bed mattress customer service. You might call or initiate a live chat. You can connect for accessible aid or tweet and get a reaction. You can utilize the knowledgebase offered in the FAQ section.

Selected quotes from Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Just some paragraphs from the book that rang a bell with me. Either for their meaning, or for how they sounded.
Post author By davidpeach
This collection is currently not finished – still picking out my favourite quotes. 🙂 — 14th January 2020
It was the critic Alexander who put me on my guard against unnecessary fault-finding. People should not be sharply corrected for bad grammar, provincialisms, or mispronunciation; it is better to suggest the proper expression by tactfully introducing it oneself in, say, one's reply to a question or one's acquiescence in their sentiments, or into a friendly discussion of the topic itself (not of the diction), or by some other suitable form of reminder.
Meditations, Book 1 — Paragraph 10
Wrong, wrong thou art doing to thyself, O my soul; and all too soon thou shalt have no more time to do thyself right. Man has but one life; already thine is nearing its close, yet still hast thou no eye to thine own honour, but art stalking thy happiness on the souls of other men.
Meditations. Book 2 — Paragraph 6
Never value the advantages derived from anything involving breach of faith, loss of self-respect, hatred, suspicion, or execration of others, insincerity, or the desire for something which has to be veiled and curtained.
Meditations, Book 3 — Paragraph 7
If the inward power that rules us be true to Nature, it will always adjust itself readily to the possibilities and opportunities offered by circumstance. It asks for no predeterminate material; in the pursuance of its aims it is willing to compromise; hindrances to its progress are merely converted into matter for its own use. It is like a bonfire mastering a heap of rubbish, which would have quenched a feeble glow; but its fiery blaze quickly assimilates the load, consumes it, and flames the higher for it.
