Eugène Arnold Dolmetsch, född den 24 februari 1858 i Le Mans, Frankrike, död den 28 februari 1940 i Haslemere, Surrey, England, var en franskfödd musiker och instrumentbyggare, som tillbringade en stor del av sitt yrkesverksamma liv i England och etablerade en instrumenttillverkning i Haslemere. Han var ledande i 1900-talets återuppväckta intresse för tidig musik.

Biografi
Dolmetschs familj var av böhmiskt ursprung men hade flyttat till Le Mans i Frankrike där de startat en tillverkning av pianon. Det var där som han skaffade de färdigheter han senare skulle få användning för i sin egen instrumentverkstad.

Dolmetsch studerade musik vid Konservatoriet i Bryssel och lärde fiolspel under Henri Vieuxtemps. År 1883 reste han till London och fortsatte sin utbildning vid Royal College of Music, där han studerade under Henry Holmes och Frederick Bridge fram till en Bachelor of Music-examen 1889.

Dolmetsch var en kort tid anställd som musiklärare på Dulwich College, men hans intresse för tidiga instrument väcktes när han fick se samlingarna av historiska instrument i British Museum. Därefter att byggde han sin första reproduktion av en luta 1893, och började sedan bygga klaviaturinstrument. William Morris uppmuntrade honom att bygga sin första cembalo.

Han lämnade England för att bygga klavikord och cembalor för Chickering i Boston (1905-1911), sedan för Gaveau i Paris (1911-1914). Han fortsatte med att etablera en instrumentverkstad i Haslemere, Surrey och byggde där kopior av nästan alla typer av instrument med anor från 1500- till 1800-talen. Bland dessa fanns fioler,  lutor och en rad klaverinstrument. Hans bok från 1915 The Interpretation of the Music of the XVIIth and XVIIIth Centuries var en milstolpe i utvecklingen av autentiska framföranden av tidig musik.

År 1925 grundade han en årlig kammarmusikfestival, International Dolmetsch Early Music Festival, som hålls i juli varje år i Haslemere Hall.

Dolmetsch uppmuntrade medlemmarna i sin familj att lära sig färdigheterna till instrumentbyggande och musikalitet och familjen dök ofta upp tillsammans på konserter och spelade instrument byggda på Dolmetsch verkstäder. År 1928 grundade han Dolmetsch Foundation som verkade för hans idéer. Efter hans död fortsatte hans familj för att främja byggandet och användningen av tidiga instrument.

I WONDER IF TRUMP WILL SHOW UP FOR ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS EVER AGAIN
Donald Trump is refusing to testify at his impeachment trial.
Former president Donald Trump is rejecting a request for his testimony at the Senate impeachment trial that begins next week.
"The president will not testify in an unconstitutional proceeding," spokesman Jason Miller said Thursday.... The House impeachment managers had asked for testimony from the former president, but the managers do not have subpoena power.
I question whether he'd show up even if he were subpoenaed. After all, he's unilaterally declaring this impeachment unconstitutional, even though there's precedent for putting an impeached former official on trial in the Senate. As we saw in the vote on the legality of this proceeding, most Senate Republicans agree with Trump.
(That vote to prevent a trial failed, because a majority of the entire Senate agreed to proceed. But if you're a Republican, it doesn't matter what a majority of any body that includes Democrats believes -- all that matters is what a majority of Republicans believe. And when I say "any body that includes Democrats," I'm not just referring to a Democratic Congress -- I'm also referring to the American electorate. If voters in America elect a Democratic president, or voters in a state choose a Democratic governor, or Democrats win Congress or a house in a state legislature, that election is illegitimate by definition, according to Republicans.)
So Trump believes the impeachment trial is illegitimate. Let's see what he says in the next few years, when he's likely to be facing civil or criminal trials.
I have a possibly crazy theory about that.
Before Trump left office, many people asked: What country do you think he'll flee to in order to evade the law? And I always had the same answer: Florida. He'd go into "exile" in Florida.
My theory: Trump will go into exile if he loses - but to Florida, not overseas. DeSantis will make up a bullshit "states' rights" reason that no one can compel Trump to leave the state to face arrest or trial, and will threaten to deploy law enforcement to protect Trump.
— Steve M. (@nomoremister) September 29, 2020
If my theory is correct, DeSantis will say every legal proceeding against Trump is "fake" and "presidential harassment." He'll insist that exemption from legal accountability is Trump's right as an ex-president -- or perhaps because Trump is the legitimate president. This will make his popularity skyrocket among Republican voters, in his home state and nationwide.
Would he and Trump really dare to do this? I don't know -- but I wish it seemed too far-fetched to imagine.
I also believe -- as I said last November -- that putting Trump on trial could result on violence on the part of Trump supporters.
Someone will try to ensure that Trump is never brought to justice. It might be MAGA terrorists, or Ron DeSantis, or both. That's what I think.

Former California Dem mayor pleads no contest to sex crimes with a child


class="post-template-default single single-post postid-1791840 single-format-standard wpb-js-composer js-comp-ver-5.7 vc_responsive"
A national organization of priest sexual abuse survivors is stepping up its push for Cardinal Daniel DiNardo to resign as president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests says DiNardo, formerly bishop of Sioux City, Iowa, is unfit to lead the bishops' response to the latest Catholic sexual abuse crisis because of allegations that he covered up abuse by priests in Iowa and Texas. Tim Lennon, president of SNAP's board of directors, and others plan a press conference Saturday in Sioux City.
U.S. bishops are expected to take measures to address the crisis after they, led by DiNardo, meet in February with Pope Francis and other bishops in Rome.
SNAP had called for DiNardo to step down in November. He has since been accused of covering up sexual abuse in the Galveston-Houston Archdiocese, Lennon said. Agents of the Texas Rangers and other law enforcement served search warrants on DiNardo's archdiocese headquarters in November.
With the Sioux City event Saturday, SNAP is renewing its call for DiNardo's resignation because of the Texas allegations, and in hopes that more victims of priest sexual abuse in Iowa will come forward, Lennon said. DiNardo did not respond to a request for comment that The World-Herald made through the Galveston-Houston Archdiocese on Friday.
DiNardo has been a leader in the bishops' response to sexual abuse revelations that rocked the Catholic Church in the United States this year, including a Pennsylvania grand jury report and charges of abuse of minors by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. DiNardo has urged the church to be fully transparent, and he pressed for reforms when U.S. bishops convened about the issue in November.
Lennon cited two main reasons for asserting that DiNardo is the wrong person to lead the response. One has to do with a 30-year cover-up in Iowa. The other involves allegations from this year in Texas.
DiNardo was one in a series of Sioux City bishops who failed to reveal the Rev. Jerry Coyle's admission in 1986 that he had abused approximately 50 junior high and high school boys over 20 years in several Iowa parishes. The diocese kept Coyle's admission secret until this fall, when the Associated Press revealed Coyle's history.
Coyle had self-reported to then-Bishop Lawrence Soens in 1986. Soens, who has since been accused of sexual abuse himself, removed Coyle from active ministry and sent him to New Mexico for treatment at the time. But neither Soens nor his successors, including DiNardo, reported Coyle to law enforcement or told parishioners.
The Sioux City Diocese only admitted it in October of this year, when the AP was poised to reveal the cover-up — and the fact that the diocese had helped Coyle move this year from New Mexico into a home across the street from a Catholic school in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
DiNardo was bishop of Sioux City from 1998 to 2004. He was named co-adjutor bishop of Galveston-Houston in 2004, and took over that Texas archdiocese in 2006.
DiNardo has been accused this fall of mishandling the case of one Texas priest accused of sexual abuse, and of allowing two others to remain in ministry even though he knew about allegations they had sexually abused children.
One was the Rev. Manuel La Rosa-Lopez, whom Conroe, Texas, police arrested in September. The priest has been charged with four counts of indecency with a child.
DiNardo wrote in an opinion piece in the Houston Chronicle that he removed La Rosa-Lopez from ministry after a man reported in August 2018 that the priest had abused him in the 1990s.
There had been previous allegations about La Rosa-Lopez, including one before DiNardo took over in Galveston-Houston. He was in charge there in 2010 when a female victim told the archdiocese that La Rosa-Lopez had abused her. DiNardo was aware of her report — he met with the victim in 2011 — yet the cardinal allowed the priest to remain in parish ministry, according to news reports.
But Lennon, who came forward in 2016 to say that he was raped by a priest in 1960 while growing up in Sioux City, said DiNardo's history reflected the church's pattern of cover-ups and moving accused priests from parish to parish.

3Com Corp. this week will announce plans to once again attempt to play in the large enterprise/data center switching arena globally after exiting the market — twice.
3Com's rallying cry will be lower total cost of ownership for IT shops reeling from high vendor premiums during the current economic downturn. The company says the recession presents a ripe opportunity for a "new" entrant to disrupt the switching status quo in the data center.
But Marlborough, Mass.-based 3Com isn't new. Some users may remember bitterly back to 2000, when the company alienated its largest enterprise customers by abruptly killing its CoreBuilder switch and encouraging customers to migrate to Extreme Networks. 3Com then attempted a re-entry into the large enterprise switching arena through a joint venture with China's Huawei in 2003.
That venture was successful in China but barely made a dent in the US.
A few years later, 3Com bought out Huawei's stake in the joint venture and in 2008, after a failed attempt to be acquired by Bain Capital and Huawei, 3Com established its leadership and operational focus on China when it named Robert Mao as CEO, replacing Edgar Masri.
Now 3Com is attempting a third engagement with U.S. and other international data centers and large enterprises after a successful run in China, where it claims market share leadership in enterprise switches and routers. 3Com is choosing now to tap the global market because the economic recession is sowing the seeds of disruptive change and prompting users to consider alternatives to their incumbent vendors, says President and COO Ron Sege.
3Com's banking on past practices to reestablish itself with large enterprises globally: undercutting the competition on price and total cost of ownership. Even though 3Com did not reveal pricing on its S 12500 data center switch, the company is claiming price/performance advantages over Cisco's Nexus 7000 – twofold in performance and density – and half the power consumption.
The S12500 can support up to 512 10G Ethernet ports and 864 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a full rack configuration, 3Com says. It features 2.2 billion pps forwarding and 6.6Tbps switching capacity in an architecture designed for future 40/100G Ethernet, FibreChannel over Ethernet and data center-optimized Ethernet applications.
3Com is also rolling out a fixed configuration switch that can be virtually stacked to achieve performance comparable to a modular switch. The S5800G/XG switch is designed for top-of-rack data center, medium-sized enterprise core and high density access applications. It supports 24 10G Ethernet ports or up to 192 in a virtual stack; and 80 Gigabit Ethernet ports or 640 per stack.
The S5800 is also field upgradeable to PoE and PoE+, 3Com says. 3Com will also roll out a management application, called the H3C Intelligent Management Center (IMC), for centralized FCAPS management of its switches and routers, and third-party devices.
But will any of this make a difference to non-Chinese large enterprise and data center users that 3Com twice backed away from?
The S12500 and S5800 switches will ship in July. The S5800 is priced from $6,500 to $18,000. The IMC software will be available in June. Pricing was not disclosed.

Q: HTML5 Canvas - repeat text all the canvas size Is there a way to draw inside a cavnas all the size of it? I've checked that I can repeat an image but I just want to repeat a text.
As a plus, if it the text could be shifted each line, could be great. Example of the effect I need if i set "1234567" as text:
1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567
234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567
34567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1
4567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 12
567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 123
67 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234
7 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 12345
 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 123456
1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567 1234567

A: measureText(txt)
You can measure text with canvas
canvas.measureText(txt).width

Here is a basic example with various limitations. Some more math is needed to create bigger canvases...
txtHeight is basically line-height. offset is the distance you want to shift the text.
The rest is math which should be improved for a solid function.
Code

var b = document.createElement('canvas');
b.width = 320;
b.height = 160;
c = b.getContext("2d");

function draw(txt) {
  c.font = "20px Arial";
  var txtHeight = 25;
  var offset = 5;
  var w = Math.ceil(c.measureText(txt).width);
  var txt = new Array(w * 2).join(txt + ' '); //change the multipler for more lines
  for (var i = 0; i < Math.ceil(b.height / txtHeight); i++) {
    c.fillText(txt, -(i * offset), i * txtHeight);
  }
}
document.body.appendChild(b);
draw('1234567');

Demo
https://jsfiddle.net/wav0xmLz/1/
For more precision measuring every line or writing letter per letter would be better.
EDIT
Unless you use a monospaced font it's a mess to remove the half visible txt....as every letter has different spacing. iiii is always shorter than TTTT with non monospaced fonts.
monospaced fonts have a fixed spacing .... find that and you know exactly how width every charachter is ... do some math and your done.
You can then use split,shift,join,push to create then each line
https://jsfiddle.net/kds7zkkf/

A: Here is a partial answer. Just the first part.

CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.wrapText = function (text, x, y, maxWidth, lineHeight) {

  var lines = text.split("\n");

  for (var i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {

    var words = lines[i].split(' ');
    var line = '';

    for (var n = 0; n < words.length; n++) {
      var testLine = line + words[n] + ' ';
      var metrics = this.measureText(testLine);
      var testWidth = metrics.width;
      if (testWidth > maxWidth && n > 0) {
        this.fillText(line, x, y);
        line = words[n] + ' ';
        y += lineHeight;
      } else {
        line = testLine;
      }
    }

    this.fillText(line, x, y);
    y += lineHeight;
  }
};

var myCanvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = myCanvas.getContext("2d");

ctx.font = "12px sans-serif";
ctx.textBaseline = "top";
var str = '';
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  str += '1234567 ';
}
ctx.wrapText(str,0,0,myCanvas.width,16);
canvas {
  border:1px solid red;
}
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="400" height="200"></canvas>

Rwandan President Paul Kagame speaking at the London Summit on Family Planning, July 11, 2012 (U.K. Department for International Development photo). Last month, three high-ranking Rwandan military figures close to President Paul Kagame were arrested and charged with so-called crimes against state security. The military purgeshave fueled fears of a political crisis for Kagame with dissension among the ranks of his party and backers in the army. Although officers have been arrested in the past and former Kagame supporters have fled the country and openly opposed him, last month's detentions…

Q: Duplicated output from chemical curated data I just discovered something rather odd while using chemical curated data in Mathematica. I tried to extract EdgeRules for some molecules and some molecules gave me several copies of said EdgeRules as a list. Is this a bug? Have any of you found similar things happening with other curated data?
Example:
ChemicalData[#, "EdgeRules"] & /@ {"Glutamine", "Alanine", "Serine"}

This input gives me 1, 3 and 2 copies of the EdgeRules of the given molecules.

A: I found the problem. Mathematica interprets the input string as a list of all available molecules that contain the input string as a substring.
ChemicalData["Alanine"]

{"DAlanine", "DLAlanine", "LAlanine"}

What Is a Division 7A Loan and When Do I Need One?
< Back to Tax
As a company director, you may have thought about lending money to a shareholder or forgiving a loan you provided in the past. A forgiven loan is a loan that no longer needs to be repaid. You need to think carefully before forgiving a loan as it can have significant tax consequences. If you do, you may need to prepare a Division 7A compliant loan agreement. This is a special type of loan agreement, which results in the loan or forgiven debt being treated as a loan rather than as assessable income for tax purposes. This article will discuss what a Division 7A loan is and the importance of preparing a Division 7A loan agreement.
What Is a Division 7A Loan?
Division 7A is a section of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth). Importantly, the definition of a "loan" under Division 7A has a broader meaning than a normal loan. According to Division 7A, a loan includes:
an advance of money;
a provision of credit or any other form of financial accommodation (money for financial assistance or benefit);
payment for a shareholder or their associate on their account; behalf; or at their request, if they are obliged to repay the amount; and
any form of transaction that is the same as a loan of money.
Why Do I Need a Division 7A Loan Agreement?
A Division 7A loan agreement covers certain payments, loans and debts made by and forgiven by a private company (Pty Ltd). Without a Division 7A loan agreement, these payments or loans would, for tax purposes, be treated as assessable income of the recipient.
Division 7A does not apply to public companies.
Note, however, that there is a very extensive definition of what constitutes a public or a private company for tax purposes and it is not simply a matter of a company's corporate law status.
In practice, this means that if your company loans money to a shareholder or its associates without a compliant Division 7A agreement, the loaned amount will be included in the shareholder's assessable income for the tax year. This means they will need to pay tax unless an exception applies. The legislation regulates this area heavily to avoid companies offloading tax-free benefits to its shareholders.
What Does A Division 7A Compliant Loan Agreement Cover?
Where a Division 7A loan agreement is in place between a private company and a shareholder or shareholders' associate, Division 7A will no longer apply. The terms of the agreement must comply with the provisions of Division 7A. If the terms comply, the relevant loan amount is treated as a loan by the company to the shareholder and not as assessable income for tax purposes. This loan will be subject to interest and the repayments must be made in accordance with the terms of the Division 7A loan agreement.
The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has created a calculator that should provide some guidance as to whether the loan you are considering is compliant with Division 7A, including the:
minimum interest rate you may charge;
minimum required repayments of interest and principal; and
term of the loan.
The Difference Between Payments and Loans Under Division 7A
Compliance Requirements For "Payments"
Division 7A treats various amounts of money as dividends paid by a private company. Amounts that Division 7A apply to are assessable income for tax purposes. Importantly, Division 7A defines a payment or credit to a shareholder as a payment to a shareholder as long as it is:
to the company;
on behalf of the company; or
for the benefit of the company.
This means that the company does not necessarily have to make the payment directly to the shareholder.
Amounts Division 7A can apply to When will Division 7A apply?
Amounts paid by the company to a shareholder or a shareholder's associate. If the payment was made to the shareholder or associate because of the company's position.
Amounts lent by the company to a shareholder or shareholders associate. If the loan made during the year is not fully repaid by the company's tax return lodgement date or put on a complying loan footing.
Amounts of debt owed by a shareholder or shareholders associate to the company that the company forgives If all or part of a debt owed to the company in the year is forgiven in that year.
Compliance Requirements For "Loans"
There are different Division 7A compliance requirements for secured and unsecured loans. When a borrower secures a loan against a piece of property, it is known as a secured loan. The property could be a house or a car. If the borrower is unable to repay the loan, the lender can sell the property to repay the loan. An unsecured loan is thus riskier for the lender as there is no security for the loan.
There are two types of complying Division 7A loan agreements:
an unsecured loan, which has a maximum term of seven years; or
a secured loan with a maximum term of 25 years, secured by a mortgage over real property (where the market value of the property is at least 110% of the loan amount).
For both types of loan agreements, the legislation sets a minimum repayment of loan principal and interest that must be paid each financial year. The interest rate applicable on a complying Division 7A loan agreement is based on the home loan rate and varies each year.
Does Division 7A Apply to Trusts?
Division 7A can apply to trusts, depending on the situation. Division 7A can apply to unpaid present entitlements. An unpaid present entitlement is a sum of money that a trustee (the person who owns the trust) appoints, but does not pay, to a private company that benefits from the trust (beneficiary). When a Pty Ltd company has unpaid present entitlement from an associate trust, Division 7A can apply if the:
unpaid present entitlement amounts to the provision of financial accommodation, which is a loan for Division 7A;
trustee makes a payment or loan to a shareholder of the private company or their associate during the year, either directly or through one or more interposed entities; or
trustee forgives a debt owed by a shareholder of the private company or their associate during the year.
Mistakes to Avoid Making in a Division 7A Loan Agreement
Making an error in your loan agreement may mean that your loan agreement is no longer Division 7A compliant, making the amount of the loan assessable for tax purposes. There are several mistakes you should be aware of and actively avoid in your loan agreement:
timing issues with signing the loan agreement;
not repaying the minimum loan repayment;
miscalculating distributable surplus; and
not recognising how Division 7A affects trusts.
As a business, you may have legitimate reasons for lending money to a shareholder or your associate. It is important to ensure that you understand the potential tax consequences of doing so. More importantly, simply having a "loan agreement" may not be adequate. You will need to consider having the arrangement and preparing a Division 7A compliant loan agreement.

Teamwork is an oft discussed concept. Yuval Noah Harari argued that much of humanity's rise to world dominance has rested on a unique species ability to work with people known and unfamiliar in his bestseller Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. Yet, it has definitions of mild variance. Teamwork is defined as "work done by several associates with each doing a part but all subordinating personal prominence to the efficiency of the whole" in Merriam-Webster's online dictionary. In the English Oxford dictionary online, the definition is somewhat vaguer: "The combined action of a group, especially when effective and efficient." Teamwork has a number of synonyms in the Gage Canadian Thesaurus: collaboration, concerted effort, esprit de corps and harmony to name a few. Harmony was an interesting choice. Anyone who has worked in any kind of team has probably experienced discord of some sort. Strong teams are often built on its solutions.
As the chiefs of our cover story identify, the sharing of services in their three communities has been a work in progress. I am guessing there was quite a bit of brainstorming that might have happened to come up with best practices. Brainstorming is an interesting aspect of teamwork that has seen recent evidence of its veracity emerge. Researchers at Northern Illinois University investigated brainstorming's impact on teamwork and found that it is a contributor to building a strong team. The study, "Does Brainstorming Promote Cohesiveness? How the Rules of Brainstorming Mirror Symbolic Convergence" by university professors David Henningsen and Mary Lynn Miller Henningsen, was published in the journal Communication Reports online in November 2017. The research team, who studied 41 groups of 151 participants, found that sharing impractical ideas, building on the ideas of others, not judging the ideas and focusing on producing a lot of ideas increased the feeling of cohesion in the group. The writers also note that the effectiveness of brainstorming, despite widespread use, has received quite a few naysayers in the realm of social science research. This paper suggests that there may be a very important link between the act of brainstorming and building a tight team.
Perhaps it is the opening of communication lines that helps solidify an understanding of one another; which always seems to be the at the heart of what is sought by human dialogue, verbal or non-verbal. To take another's ideas and build on it is to understand that idea in the first place, and that is a powerful bonding tool indeed.

Additionally, students will be expected to keep a daily journal in French. This journal will be examined and discussed on a regular basis in the weekly seminar meeting.
In this course, students are encouraged to study and adapt the ideas and methods of artists, writers, and intellectuals. The goal is to widen the students' horizons, to enrich their perspectives about the world, to leave behind their comfort zone and learn to borrow from others for their personal construction.
Space: This is the first "cultural shock," the initial encounter with the "reality" of the other culture. Students will study writers and artists who have deliberately chosen space as their creative field: Georges Perec, Jacques Roubaud and the writers of the Workshop of Potential Literature, Oulipo; Ernest Pignon-Ernest and photographers: Denis Darzack, Luc Delahaye, Phillippe Ramette, and Li Wei.
The Body: How does one position himself/herself in his/her new environment? How does one's inner voice listen to what is taking place within? The interior journey, the capacity to distance one's emotions are part of the conditions vital to a successsful study abroad experience. Students will study writers and artists who devote their work to the exploration of inner worlds: Henri Michaux, Nathalie Sarraute, Gerashim Luca; Body Artists: Gina Pane and Marina Abramovic; the photographer, Cindy Sherman.
The Other: What kind of relationships are we capable of establishing with others? Where do our inner boundaries lie? We will study the visual world of the artist Alberto Giacometti, the photographer, Sophie Calle and the theater director, Valère Novarina.
The World: What is our awareness of the world and of nature? Where do we place ourselves in today's globalized space? What space is left for nature? Students will examine the writers Eugène Guillevic and André Du Bouchet and the visual artist, Andy Goldsworthy.
At the conclusion of each section, each student will choose a theme to explore and to experience in context; then he/she will work on the written transcription in French of his/her experience before analyzing the global implications of his/her project. Each project, dual in nature, both creative and analytical, will encourage students to use the French language in two very distinct modes.
Follow-Up Session: This hour-long weekly meeting allows for monitoring, questions, and preparation for activities.
Monitoring: An opportunity to review, reread, clarify points from the FRE 411 course and to provide suggestions for individual projects.
Questions: An opportunity to ask all kinds of questions from language (grammar, syntax, vocabulary) to questions about culture, society, and current events.
Preparation for Activities: Presentation of field trips and events; follow-up exercises.
Field Studies: Field studies take place twice a month and include the following.
An activity-event allowing the group to enjoy a cultural and/or artistic experience within the context of Aix-en-Provence and a social event offering an opportunity to use French outside the classroom.
All these propositions echo and reinforce the content of the main course FHP 411. For example, when it is the theme of exploring space, we will opt for events that enable us to discover fundamental elements that constitute the identity of Aix-en-Provence, such as the International Festival of Lyric Art or the exhibition of the Montagne Sainte Victoire by a contemporary photographer. The goal is to stretch, to go beyond, insofar as possible, clichés, stereotypes, first impressions in an effort to reach the deeper cultural identity markers. As far as the socializing activities are concerned (such as a picnic in a nearby park or a hike) they are geared to encourage the students to become part of the real Aixois life while continuing to speak French; in other words, to free the French language from the four classroom walls where it is often limited.
Upon full completion of the program, students will be awarded a Certificate in French Honors Abroad.
Please note that all French Honors Placement Exams are due within two weeks of the application deadline. Exams received after the deadline run the risk of not being considered for the program and will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Reference the Semester Course Schedule and refer to the course selection guide at the end of the PDF for a list of all courses that fulfill the French Honors Program course requirements.
Students take the French Honors Seminar FRE411/413 + four upper-level French classes (exceptions can be made for one class in English according to home institution credit requirements).
This course proposes an exploration of literary and artistic themes related to the notion of space, both personal (internal) and geographic (external) and specifically the tensions created by the crossing ("Traversée") between one space and another.

The use of plasmonic nanostructures for creating broadband absorbers is demonstrated in Nature Communications this week. The proposed structures may help enhance the performance of photovoltaic cells which are used widely in solar panels.
The development of materials with high absorption across the visible light spectrum is important for a number of optical devices, including solar cells. Existing schemes based on plasmonics only work in narrow frequency ranges and for certain polarisations of light. Koray Aydin and colleagues have overcome these problems by building ultrathin metal-insulator-metal stacks with the top metal layer shaped into a grid of trapezoids just tens of nanometres wide. This provides them with an average of 70% absorption across the visible spectrum, independent of the incident light polarisation and for a wide range of incidence angles.
These stacks are only 260nm thick, making them an attractive possibility to enhance the light-harvesting capability of photovoltaics or to improve thermal emitters and absorbers.

What is the difference between a condo and co-op?
When you purchase a condominium, you own the actual unit itself. You also have rights to use common areas, such as the exercise room, the party room, and so forth. Fees are charged against occupants for maintenance, insurance and management of these common areas.
When you buy into a co-op, you do not own the actual real estate or the apartment. Instead, you own shares or a membership in the cooperative housing corporation. The corporation owns the underlying real estate. Typically, taxes, mortgage payments and maintenance expenses are shared by the tenants as monthly maintenance charges.
Co-op apartments often come with approval requirements—which vary greatly from building to building.
What do I need to pass a co-op board?
Co-op board requirements differ greatly from building to building. Typically, after closing, co-op boards require two years worth of mortgage and maintenance reserves in your bank account, derived typically from your income and savings, and after your other expenses.
Can I sublet my co-op apt?
The answer differs from building to building. Some co-op boards have a strict prohibition against subletting your co-op apartment. Others may allow for it, subject to certain conditions, which vary.
Is it difficult to get a mortgage for a co-op?
Fewer lenders are willing to finance the purchase of a co-op over a condo. Before you begin your search, make sure you are pre-approved.
How long does the sales closing process take?
On average, it takes 45-60 days to close a condo, and 60-90 days to close a co-op.
How much is the broker's fee for a rental apartment?
In Manhattan, the standard fee is 15% of the yearly rent. However, there are several significant offsets. A good broker can negotiate on your behalf to save you money on rent or building fees. A good broker might also be able to get owner to offer a cash or "free rent" incentive.
I'm from out-of-state. What do I need in order to rent an apartment in New York City?
You will need to show proof of income equivalent to 40x the rent. For example, an apartment that rents for $1,500 a month will require $1,500 x 40, or $60,000, worth of yearly income. You'll also need good credit, a reference letter from your current landlord, a letter of employment, and two months' worth of bank statements.
What are the chances of my being able to rent an apartment with bad or no credit history?
Management companies typically view your application as "high risk." So you're better off looking at apartments owned and managed by individuals—who may accept extra amounts for security purposes.
When would I need a guarantor to rent a NYC apartment?
Most owners and management companies will allow a NY or tri-state area guarantor help you qualify for an apartment. The guarantor must demonstrate income of 80x the rent —in the event that you default.
Renting an apartment typically takes anywhere from 1-30 days.

New Financing Coming For Planned Niobium Mine In SE Nebraska
September 28 , 2022 7:53 pm September 27 , 2022 10:48 pm by John Axtell
The mining company that wants to extract an assortment of rare elements from under the ground in southeast Nebraska has announced a deal that will give it up to $285 million dollars to help cover the roughly $1.1 billion cost of building the mine.
NioCorp announced this week that it's planning to acquire GX Acquisition Corp. and list the merged firm on the NASDAQ after the deal closes, which is expected in the first quarter of next year..
NioCorp also said it has signed a letter of intent to borrow up to an additional $81 million from Yorkville Advisors Global.NioCorp has been actively exploring the site for more than 7 years, but has raised only about $80 million in that time..
NioCorp CEO Mark Smith says the transactions have the potential to put NioCorp on the fast track to obtain the required project financing to move forward.
GX Acquisition is a one of the risky shell companies known as SPACs, essentially a blank check company created solely to merge with another business to invest in it.
Once popular on Wall Street, many of them had to be liquidated without ever completing a transaction.
SPACs are often used to help companies go public. NioCorp is already a publicly traded company, but a listing on NASDAQ would help it attract more investors.
The main element NioCorp plans to produce at the mine about 80 miles south of Omaha near the town of Elk Creek is a heat resistant metal called niobium, but it will also mine scandium and titanium.
The company says analysis of samples from the site also shows a significant amount of rare earth elements used to make strong magnets used in a variety of high-tech products such as electric vehicles and cell phones.
President Joe Biden wants to produce more of all of the elements domestically, and GX Co-Chairman and CEO Dean Kehler says NioCorp should be able to help reach that goal if it can raise the rest of the money it needs to begin.
The U.S. imports all the niobium and scandium and most of the titanium and rare earths it uses. The only U-S rare earth mine is in California and NioCorp says its Elk Creek deposit of rare earth elements is second only to the California mine.

Ecuador's New Deal: Nothing Succeeds Like Success
The Guardian Unlimited, February 15, 2013
See article on original website
Rafael Correa is far ahead of his nearest rival in Sunday's presidential election in Ecuador, and expected to easily win another four year presidential term. It's not hard to see why.
Unemployment fell to 4.1 percent by the end of last year – a record low for at least 25 years. Poverty has fallen by 27 percent since 2006. Public spending on education has more than doubled, in real (inflation- adjusted) terms. Increased health care spending has expanded access to medical care, and other social spending has also increased substantially, including a vast expansion of government-subsidized housing credit.
If all that sounds like it must be unsustainable, it's not. Interest payments on Ecuador's public debt are less than 1 percent of GDP, which is quite small; and the public debt to GDP ratio is a modest 25 percent.
The Economist, which doesn't much care for any of the left governments that now govern the vast majority of South America, attributes Correa's success to "a mixture of luck, opportunism and skill." But it was really the skill that made the difference.
Correa may have had luck, but it wasn't good luck: he took office in January of 2007 and the next year Ecuador was one of the hardest hit countries in the hemisphere by the international financial crisis and world recession. That's because it was heavily dependent on remittances from abroad (e.g. workers in the United States and Spain), and oil exports, which made up 62 percent of export earnings and 34 percent of government revenue at the time. Oil prices collapsed by 79 percent in 2008 and remittances also crashed. The combined effect on Ecuador's economy was comparable to the collapse of the U.S. housing bubble, which gave us the Great Recession.
And Ecuador also had the bad luck of not having its own currency (it had adopted the U.S. dollar in 2000) – which means it couldn't use the exchange rate or the kind of monetary policy that our Federal Reserve deployed, in order to counteract the recession. But Ecuador navigated the storm with a mild recession that lasted three quarters; a year later it was back at its pre-recession level of output and on its way to the achievements that made Correa one of the most popular presidents in the hemisphere.
How did they do it? Perhaps most important was a large fiscal stimulus in 2009, about 5 percent of GDP (if only we had done that here in the U.S.). A big part of that was construction, with the government expanding housing credit by $599 million in 2009, and continuing large credits through 2011.
But the government also had to reform and re-regulate the financial system in order to make things work. And here they embarked on what is possibly the most comprehensive financial reform of any country in the 21st century. The government took control over the Central Bank, and forced it to bring back about $2 billion of reserves held abroad. This was used by the public banks to make loans for infrastructure, housing, agriculture, and other domestic investment.
They put taxes on money leaving the country, and required banks to keep 60 percent of their liquid assets inside the country. They pushed real interest rates down, while bank taxes were increased. The government re-negotiated agreements with foreign oil companies when prices rose. Government revenue rose from 27 percent of GDP in 2006 to over 40 percent last year.
The Correa administration also increased funding to the "popular and solidarity" part of the financial sector – cooperatives, credit unions, and other member-based organizations. Co-op loans tripled in real terms between 2007 and 2012.
The end result of these and other reforms was to move the financial sector more toward something that would serve interests of the public, instead of the other way around (as in the U.S.). To this end the government also separated the financial sector from the media -- the banks had owned most of the major media before Correa was elected -- and introduced anti-trust reforms.
Of course, the conventional wisdom is that such "business unfriendly" practices as re-negotiating oil contracts, increasing the size and regulatory authority of government, increasing taxes and placing restrictions on capital movements, is a sure recipe for economic disaster. Ecuador also defaulted on a third of its foreign debt after an international commission found that portion to have been illegally contracted. And the "independence" of the Central Bank, which Ecuador revoked -- is considered sacrosanct by most economists today. But Correa, a Ph.D. economist, knew when it is best to ignore the majority of the profession.
Correa has gotten some bad press for going against the conventional wisdom and – perhaps worse in the eyes of the business press -- succeeding. The worst media assault came when Ecuador offered asylum to Wikileaks journalist Julian Assange. But here, as with economic policy and financial reform, Correa was right. It was obvious, especially after the U.K. government made an unprecedented threat to invade Ecuador's embassy, that this was a case of political persecution. How rare, and refreshing, for a politician to stand firm against such powerful forces – the United States and its allies in Europe, and in the international media – for the sake of principle. But Correa's tenacity and courage has served his country well.
