Sorry, but folks are still so blatantly abusing Twitter, I'm forced back on my platform to expose the heathens. Twitter is not a new advertising platform. It's not a new place for SPAM. I don't know how many times I have to repeat this VERY SIMPLE law of most all social media: treat it like a real relationship. Right now, you're not treating Twitter right. You're abusing it – and that makes you a Twitter Sinner. I'm here to save your soul.
1. Social Media is not about collecting friends. How many friends do you have in real life? I need an exact number. You don't know, do you? Why not? Because you don't collect friends. That's not how friendship, or any relationship, works. So, why do people think that social media is about collecting friends? Do not obsess about how many friends or followers you have. You're not a better person if you have more followers. 70,000 – oh my! There is no direct correlation between followers/friends and your worth. Deal with it!
2. Give value to your relationship. Any good relationship is symbiotic – you give to me, I give to you. Too often, Twitter relationship are parasitic – one party consumes and doesn't give back. These are the worst Twitter sinners. Are your messages purely promotional? Or do you offer value to the relationship you've created? Do you share articles, insights, breaking news, anything of value? No, telling people you can make them a millionaire is not a post of value. It's a selfish, promotional tweet.
3. Content before followers. You should post a dozen updates (arbitrary number) with some sort of value before you start hunting for relationships (followers). You're disgusting, following 800 people with 4 updates. If you want to have a relationship with me, I want to know it will be worthwhile. This is also a rule about giving value to your relationships.
4. Be upfront with who you are. Are you a company that will be posting promotions, sneak peaks, extras, etc? Are you a person, who will sprinkle tweets with updates about your personal life? It doesn't matter what you are, I just need to know. I need to know what kind of relationship I'm getting into here.
5. Do more than re-tweet. Look at your stream of updates – how often are you beginning it with "RT" (ReTweet)? You're just an aggregator. Have an opinion. Generate your own stuff. Sometimes it's nice to have somebody passing info along from multiple sources – so I understand if my position on this is controversial, but you're asking me to have a relationship with YOU. You are the guy at the party, who, when asked his opinion on a matter, quotes somebody else. You're Matt Damon's character on Good Will Hunting. And nobody likes Matt Damon. (OK, just kidding. That was a cheap shot at Damon).

Member Support/FAQs
You Are Perfect
Donor retention rates measure the portion of prior year donors who give again in the following year. For example, if there were 100 donors to your institution two years ago and 65 of those same donors made a gift again last year, then your program's alumni donor retention rate for last year would be 65 percent.
In fact, for competitive colleges and universities, a typical alumni donor retention rate is around 65 percent. For high performing annual giving programs, alumni donor retention rates can be as high as 80 percent. However, for the majority of college and university annual giving programs across the U.S., alumni donor retention rates are usually closer to 50 percent.
In the case of new donors (i.e., those who made their first gift in the prior year), retention rates are typically much lower. For most programs, this will often be below 20 percent. In the case of recent graduates, who made their first gift as part of their senior class gift campaign, it's not unusual for retention rates to be below 10 percent.
To reduce this kind of attrition and to highlight the importance of ongoing support by new alumni, the Penn Fund launched its "You Are Perfect" campaign. It started several years ago as a fiscal year-end postcard sent to all first-year alumni who had donated to their senior class gift campaign in the prior year. The message was simple: You Are Perfect. Don't Change!
The initial mailing generated a 14 percent response rate and accounted for one-quarter of all giving from the class. In recognition for their gifts, donors received personal acknowledgment letters and were listed as "perfect donors" in the university's donor roster publication. In the following year, they rolled it out to all graduates of the past four years with perfect giving records. It generated a 16 percent response rate and accounted for 10 percent of giving by pre-5th reunion classes.
Encouraging consistent giving (regardless of the gift amount) by recent graduates not only helps to increase retention rates each year, but it's one of the most important things you can do to boost your alumni participation rates over the long term.

Quito Metro: Bringing the world's highest capital underground
Archaeologists have shown that Ecuador's capital Quito has a history which extends back over 5,000 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the world. This is at least in part due to the city's famous geography: at an altitude of 2,850 metres above sea level, defenders of the city were able to see enemies coming a few hours in advance. These days, it just means the views are spectacular.
The city has also maintained its stunning old town, complete with its architectural treasures of colonial and republican times, even as it grew to the north and south. This growth, the result of the city's population reaching an estimated 1.35 million people, was one was of the reasons that the city's government created a masterplan for a metro to overcome the geographical and geological nature of the city.
The responsibility for delivering the project fell to the Metro Alliance Consortium, which is composed of two separate construction firms: Ayesa (Spain) and ILF (Saudi Arabia). Its General Manager, Edison Yánez Romero was kind enough to take time out to speak with Business Excellence about the complexities of the project, its importance and the extent of its progress.
Mr. Yánez Romero began by informing us that the decision for a metro, rather than an over ground transportation system, was one borne out of practical considerations for the city: "Metro Quito was born from this need of the city to solve one of its deepest problems, that of mobility in the city. More than 400 thousand passengers per day and more than 1 million will be transported in the integrated public transport system."
Unlike many other metro systems, Metro Quito will be exclusively underground. Mr Yánez Romero says: "The layout of the first line of the metro includes a route of 22 km, completely underground, with stations located between 1000 and 1800 meters, one from the other, while the tunnel will have a depth of 15 and 26 meters. It consists of 15 stations on a single line, plus the workshops and carports area, served by an initial fleet of 18 trains."
At a cost of around US$2 billion, Metro Quito may prove to be one of the most astute investments from a socioeconomic perspective that Business Excellence has ever covered. Mr Yánez Romero estimates that around 20,000 people, composed of 5,000 direct jobs and about 15,000 indirect jobs, were employed during the construction phase alone (over 1% of the city effectively working on a single project).
Elsewhere, he also cites the high-level impacts that the project will have on Quito once delivered: "The metro will enhance the socioeconomic inclusion of peripheral areas, develop a new culture for the city's residents and a positive attitude towards quality public services and generate a remarkable improvement in the quality of life of Quito." This includes the new business dynamics around the 15 "metro zones," energizing their microeconomies.
Mr Yánez Romero is also keen to underline that, over the course of the project, more than 1,000 social initiatives have been carried out, including the community (schoolchildren, neighbours, underprivileged communities, etc.) benefitting more than 80,000 people in total. In addition, Consortium engineers have transmitted technical knowledge of the Metro Quito to more than 500 assistants in universities and educational centres.
Respect for its Environment
Metro Quito will run entirely on electrical energy, providing a significant boost to the on-street environment in the process. Of this, Mr Yánez Romero says: "Yes, Metro Quito has amply demonstrated its commitment to care for the environment, ensuring compliance with current environmental regulations, and the optimal management of resources through its Consortium Line 1 contractor."
Additionally, it will ensure compliance with international environmental standards of Multilateral Financing Banks of the project (World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, CAF- Development Bank of Latin America and the European Investment Bank) through internal management and inter-institutional coordination with the other municipal and state entities.
Mr. Yánez Romero states some of the environmental KPIs set by the Metro Quito Project, which have included: "managing more than 6 million kilograms of recyclable waste and reusing more than 100 thousand cubic meters of water, protection measures for more than 236 specimen of heritage trees, and continuous monitoring of environmental indicators such as air, water and soil."
Strategic Partners, Suppliers and Contributors
The major strategic partner for the project has been Spanish firm, Acciona, which has worked with the consortium to deliver Line 1 of Metro Quito. Of them, Mr. Yánez Romero says: "they hired more than 5,800 workers, 95% of Ecuadorian origin. Currently, work continues on the implementation of social initiatives for employees in favour of their training and awareness of construction, equity, occupational safety, sustainability and gender focus." Other suppliers cited by Mr. Yánez Romero are well-known industry players such as CAF Siemens, Bombardier and Thyssenkrupp.
Local suppliers have also played a pivotal role. He says: "I would even say local suppliers have exceeded expectations in many areas. For example, HOLCIM, the local cement supplier, who provided mass dispatches, with demands on time, design and safety, with more than 5,000m3 in a single office achieving efficiencies of 120m3 / hour and all previous planning, as well as personal trained and involved in the whole process."
When asked for what will make Metro Quito so special, Mr. Yánez Romero is effusive: "the significant saving of personal time and improvement in the productivity of the city, national savings thanks to reduced fuel imports, less environmental pollution, safer streets because of less transport, urban development around the project, empowerment of the historic centre, and more."
The great news for Quito and its residents is that the metro is nearing completion. Mr. Yánez Romero says: "At the moment it reaches an 86% progress in the construction phase, where architectural finishes are completed and the electromechanical, electronic, lighting and railway signalling facilities are developed." Upon completion, Metro Quito will not only be the world's highest metro, it will also be one of the highest in terms of standards.

Arm gives silicon startups zero-cost access to widely used chip designs
April 29, 2020 6:00 AM
Image Credit: Arm
Arm has announced it will give silicon startups zero-cost access to its most widely used chip designs. The move will spur innovation among chip startups, which face high costs getting chips to market. But it will also help Arm deal with competition from RISC-V, a rival architecture started to counter Arm's growing power in the chip design business.
Arm Flexible Access for Startups offers no-cost access to the company's intellectual property portfolio, tools, and training, along with full support for early experimentation, design, and prototype silicon. Arm's customers typically have to pay license fees or royalties on designs that they use as components in larger chips.
The new program lowers risk and could accelerate time to market by six to 12 months, the company said. In addition, Arm is partnering with Silicon Catalyst, a specialist incubator for silicon startups, giving members free access to Arm IP, design tools, and prototype silicon. Arm announced a similar program last fall, after RISC-V talked about growing support for its royalty-free open source chip architecture.
The new program for startups is an extension of Arm's already-popular Flexible Access program and offers early-stage silicon startups zero-cost access to a huge range of Arm's leading IP, along with global support and training resources.
Dipti Vachani, senior vice president and general manager of Arm's automotive and IoT business, said in a statement that enabling innovation is critical in today's challenging business landscape and that startups with brilliant ideas need the fastest, most trusted route to scale. She added that Arm Flexible Access for Startups offers new silicon entrants a faster, more cost-efficient path to working prototypes, resulting in strengthened investor confidence for future funding.
Above: Arm is making its designs more accessible for startups.
Early-stage silicon startups can now access a wide range of Arm IP at no cost, allowing them to experiment, design, and prototype with various Arm solutions throughout the product development cycle. Arm defines "early-stage" startups as those with up to $5 million in funding. Startups meeting these criteria will have access to a broad portfolio of Arm-based processors, including IP from the Arm Cortex-A, -R and -M processor families, select Arm Mali graphics processing units (GPUs), and other chip components. Startups will also be able to supplement their in-house skills and experience with access to Arm's leading ecosystem of silicon designers, software developers, support, training, and tools.
Emerging use cases in areas such as AI at the edge, autonomous vehicles, and IoT have spurred a new wave of silicon startups, as illustrated by new insights from Semico Research. Report findings show there has been a tenfold increase in funding from 2016 to 2019. In the last five years, silicon startups have received more than $1.3 billion in funding. Semico Research said over a third of startups that have emerged in the past five years are targeting the automotive sector, with another third targeting IoT applications.
Meanwhile, Arm Flexible Access is exceeding expectations, the company said in an email. More than 40 companies are already registered for it, representing sectors ranging from AI-at-the-edge to medical wearables. Chip startups such as Hailo and Atmosic are using the program, which Arm said was created based on customer feedback from those who wanted to get started on their chips as early as possible.

Is there a new ad wanting flash?! The last couple of days has been annoying to keep getting this popup on my phone.
Reality and Trouty like this.
I've been getting this as well with desktop Chrome. I spent a little time trying to track it down, but no luck yet. I know it is not ad related though.
I will keep looking into it to figure out what's going on. I detest Flash so I definitely don't want anything on the site using it.
Trouty and viman96 like this.
Okay, found the problem. Apparently Chrome and possibly other browsers have made a change to start warning about flash objects and the software behind CZ was loading a flash-upload option for those who have flash installed. Meaning, it was already there and likely being blocked, but now the browsers are informing users that it is being blocked most likely because browsers are finally starting to phase out flash and even Adobe itself is doing the same.
In any case, I disabled that option so it should no longer generate that error popup.
Trouty, viman96 and Idgit like this.
I am still getting the pop-up. When I get home I'll see if there's anything to do on my side to prevent it.

Q: Bochner formula in different forms I am looking for a reference (better a book) that contain integral Bochner formulas for domains with boundary (I need it for 1-forms and functions only).
For example I will need the following formula:
$$\int\limits_\Omega |\Delta f|^2
-|\mathrm{Hess}f|^2
+\langle\mathrm{Ric}(\nabla f),\nabla f\rangle
=\int\limits_{\partial\Omega}
H\cdot|\nabla f|^2,$$
where $H$ denotes mean curvature of $\partial \Omega$ and $f$ vanish on the boundary, but I will also need its analog for 1-forms and yet general boundary condition.
So far I found "Spin geometry" by Lawson and Michelsohn --- based on II/§5, it is easy to derive any formula I need (but I am sure someone did it somewhere).

A: Here's a reference to a paper; Theorem 3 gives a general formula for differential forms with no constraints on the boundary values.  I'm not sure if this shows up in a book yet.
Raulot, S.; Savo, A. A Reilly formula and eigenvalue estimates for differential forms. J. Geom. Anal. 21 (2011), no. 3, 620--640. MR2810846.

Q: Is it possible to use cascades to operate on 2 properties of a variable? I want to return the length of the last word in a string. The words are separated by spaces.
return s.trimRight().length - s.trimRight().lastIndexOf(' ') - 1;

I want to remove the need to call trimRight() twice, and I was hoping cascades would help me to do that while keeping the solution a single line. But I tried something like this and it's not valid (for obvious reasons):
return (s.trimRight())..length - ..lastIndexOf(' ') - 1;

I know I can do it with an assignment operation, like so:
return (s = s.trimRight()).length - s.lastIndexOf(' ') - 1;

But my question is, can it be done without an assignment using cascades?

A: I wish you could do something like this, but no, it's not currently possible with dart.
Now you could technically do this return s.trimRight().split(' ').last.length); but this is more expansive than computing s.trimRight() and saving it into a var...

Quincey De Buck
Quincey De Buck (°1990, Moerbeke - Waas, Belgium) creates media artworks and performances. With Plato's allegory of the cave in mind, De Buck uses a visual vocabulary that addresses many different social and political issues. The work incorporates time as well as space – a fictional and experiential universe that only emerges bit by bit.
De Buck creates situations in which everyday objects are altered or detached from their natural function. By applying specific combinations and certain manipulations, different functions and/or contexts are created. With a conceptual approach, he often creates several practically identical works, upon which thoughts that have apparently just been developed are manifested: notes are made and then crossed out again, 'mistakes' are repeated.
His works demonstrate how life extends beyond its own subjective limits and often tells a story about the effects of global cultural interaction over the latter half of the twentieth century. It challenges the binaries we continually reconstruct between Self and Other, between our own 'cannibal' and 'civilized' selves. By examining the ambiguity and origination via retakes and variations, he presents everyday objects as well as references to texts, painting and architecture. Pompous writings and Utopian constructivist designs are juxtaposed with trivial objects. Categories are subtly reversed.
His works directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. By demonstrating the omnipresent lingering of a 'corporate world', his works references post-colonial theory as well as the avant-garde or the post-modern and the left-wing democratic movement as a form of resistance against the logic of the capitalist market system.
His works bear strong political references. The possibility or the dream of the annulment of a (historically or socially) fixed identity is a constant focal point. With the use of appropriated materials which are borrowed from a day-to-day context, he wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil poetic images that leave traces and balances on the edge of recognition and alienation.
His works appear as dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, past and present fuse. Time and memory always play a key role. By applying a poetic and often metaphorical language, he tries to increase the dynamic between audience and author by objectifying emotions and investigating the duality that develops through different interpretations.
His works never shows the complete structure. This results in the fact that the artist can easily imagine an own interpretation without being hindered by the historical reality. By manipulating the viewer to create confusion, he makes work that deals with the documentation of events and the question of how they can be presented. The work tries to express this with the help of physics and technology, but not by telling a story or creating a metaphor.
His works are on the one hand touchingly beautiful, on the other hand painfully attractive. Again and again, the artist leaves us orphaned with a mix of conflicting feelings and thoughts. By merging several seemingly incompatible worlds into a new universe, he tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way, likes to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical and believes in the idea of function following form in a work.
His works are an investigation into representations of (seemingly) concrete ages and situations as well as depictions and ideas that can only be realized in media art. Quincey De Buck currently lives and works in Ghent.

DouxMatok raises $22M to commercialize its sugar reduction technology
Lillianna Byington @lil_byington
DouxMatok, an Israel-based food technology startup, has raised $22 million to start large-scale production of its sugar reduction solution as it commercializes the product in Europe and North America.
The company's first product can reduce up to 40% of the sugar content in various foods and baked goods while retaining the same taste profile, according to a statement. DouxMatok is planning to expand its technology to include more products and flavors such as salt.
The funding round was led by BlueRed Partners from Singapore. Other strategic investors include Südzucker AG, the largest European sugar company; Royal DSM, a global leader in science-based nutrition; and Singha Ventures, a corporate venture fund of one of Thailand's biggest food and beverage conglomerates.
As consumers become increasingly concerned about excess sugar in their diets, companies have been searching for a solution that won't negatively affect product taste. With the funding DouxMatok received, the company will likely be able to quickly scale-up production. And if it can deliver on its claims of reducing 40% sugar content in food product without altering taste, mouthfeel or texture, then it could attract the interest of a lot of CPG brands around the world.
About 71% of consumers read the sugar content on labels and 46% want to reduce their sugar consumption, according to surveys. In recent years, food and beverage companies have invested in developing artificial sweeteners. Stevia has been one of the prominent substitutes, but the non-caloric sweetener and other similar products have left consumers with a bitter taste. DouxMatok claims its products don't have the same off-putting aftermath.
Despite consumer desire to reduce sugar for health reasons, taste is still the key. This could provide a major advantage for DouxMatok. Analysts have said that taste and the sweetness that sugar provides is one of the most important factor when it comes to purchasing decisions. Americans typically consume more than 13% of their total daily calories from added sugars, according to the FDA.
But DouxMatok isn't alone in launching sugar-reduction innovations. Ingredion introduced a line of low-sugar glucose syrups two years ago to help food manufacturers reduce the amount of added sugar shown on Nutrition Facts panels, which the FDA is requiring to be listed on product packaging as part of the updated label starting in 2020 and 2021. Additionally, Kerry developed TasteSense, a natural flavoring solution designed to bring back sweetness that's lost when sugar is reduced. These products mean there will be plenty of competition for DouxMatok on the market.
However, with most CPG companies interested in sugar reduction, and many of them making it a priority, there could be an opportunity in the market place for multiple options.
Danone recently introduced a Greek low fat yogurt with two grams of sugar called Two Good, and Kind has been working to reduce the sugar content in its products for years. Additionally, Nestlé researchers have engineered hollow and fast-dissolving sugar molecules to allow manufacturers to use up to 40% less without reducing the sweetness of their products — which sounds very similar to DouxMatok's technology. Last year, the Swiss food giant released its first chocolate bar made with its new sugar reduction technology in the U.K. and Ireland.
The latest funding round wasn't the first for DouxMatok. In 2017, the company received $8.1 million to increase production of its sugar-reduction technology. More of the latest funding round will go toward its R&D work on salt reduction. Although there is competition with other salt-reducing technologies, if the company establishes its reputation with sugar, salt and other innovations could quickly gain momentum.

IDEA Fairness Restoration Act - Amends the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to include expert witness fees, including the reasonable costs of any test or evaluation necessary for the preparation of the parent or guardian's case in the action or proceeding, within the definition of "attorneys' fees" that may be awarded to the prevailing party in a civil action brought under such Act.


The Hulgurod, also known as the Great Madness, refers to a dark, widespread epidemic marked by madness and death that ravaged a large portion of the north broadlands more than a thousand years ago.
While some historians prefer to suggest that the Hulgurod was little more than a plague that swept over a vast swath of the world, there are equally as many among the learned who believe that the Great Madness was spawned of a sinister, otherworldly source.
Whatever its origin, the Great Madness quickly spread across the realms, devastating certain regions while inexplicably leaving others largely untouched.
The symptoms of those afflicted by the Hulgurod almost always began as feverish dreams but quickly devolved into raving lunacy, culminating with what has historically been described as hallucinations filled with "the stares of distant eyes" and "great, earth-shaking roars of silence".
Those "infected" by the Great Madness were often found to have sketched or in some other way crafted a specific marking, which came to be known as the Sigil of Doketoth. The curious symbol was in the form of a square eye surrounded by a ring of flames.
When asked about the symbol they had drawn or carved, nearly all those suffering in the grip of the Hulgurod would respond that it was "Doketoth's Sigil" or the "Mark of Doketoth".
Doketoth, the name of a deific figure that appears in certain ancient Aldvari writings, though very little is known about him.
The Hulgurod lingered for nearly a decade, during which time its ravaging hands altered much of the world it afflicted.
According to legend, the Great Madness was only defeated when a band of seven warriors, known to history as the Seven Knights, encountered and defeated the great 'demon' who commanded the Hulgurod. In the battle that brought about the demon's demise, all seven of the knights (believed to be of the Ironheart Order from Phiadon), perished.
Though scholars disagree on the origin of the Hulgurod (and the legends that surround its arrival and abrupt disappearance), most believe that its return -- or the birth of a similar epidemic -- is a notion that should be not be flippantly discarded.

Walking car concept unveiled at CES
The Hyundai Elevate Concept helps a person get to a doctor appointment in a city. -
By David Freeman with NBC News Tech and Science News •et; last updated: 08/01/2019
There are cars that drive, cars that fly and cars that can move on water. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Hyundai on Monday unveiled its concept for a car with wheeled robotic legs that can drive, walk and even climb.The Korean carmaker calls its "Elevate" concept the first vehicle with moveable legs and says it could go places conventional off-road vehicles can't. The company developed the concept vehicle for use in search-and-rescue and humanitarian missions in areas struck by earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters.
The vehicle might also make it easier for disabled people to get around."People living with disabilities worldwide that don't have access to an ADA ramp could hail an autonomous Hyundai Elevate that could walk up to their front door, level itself, and allow their wheelchair to roll right in," John Suh, a vice president at Hyundai and head of the company team that helped create the concept, said in a statement, referring to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The Hyundai Elevate Concept helps a person get to a doctor appointment in a city.Hyundai
The vehicle hasn't actually been built, but the basic technology has been proven in one-fifth scale models, a company spokesman said."Wonderful to see the auto industry embrace innovation and focus on the many niche needs — as opposed to just the mass (SUV) market," Daniel Sperling, director of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis, told NBC News MACH in an email. "Let's cheer them on," he added, "but making sure it is safe and compatible with pedestrians cars, and buildings will be challenging."A slick promotional animation released by Hyundai shows the vehicle moving easily over various types of terrain. On smooth surfaces, it simply rolls along on wheels much like a conventional car. On steep or rocky surfaces, the vehicle extends its legs and starts walking.There are two walking modes. In "reptilian mode," the vehicle spreads its legs wide and moves about like a lizard. In "mammalian mode," the legs are extended below, and the vehicle moves with an almost humanlike gait.The vehicle can walk in any direction and is capable of stepping over a five-foot gap and climbing over a five-foot wall as well as speeding along a highway, according to the company.Just don't expect "Elevate" to show up in Hyundai showrooms anytime soon. The spokesman said there were no immediate plans to produce the vehicle.Want more stories about the future of travel?8. Nissan's 'B2V' system lets you drive a car with brain waves 9.

Case #21467471/4541
Original release below.
Father and daughter die in fatal Macleod Trail collision
An 11-year-old girl was seriously injured while her father and seven-year-old sister were killed in a collision on Macleod Trail last night. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of the victims.
Around 5:20 p.m., on Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2021, a multi-vehicle collision occurred in the 12800 block of Macleod Trail S.E. A three-quarter ton pick-up truck, driven by a man in his 50s, was travelling northbound on Macleod Trail in the left-hand lane when it rear-ended a sedan with three occupants. The impact forced the car to rotate and cross over the center median into the southbound lanes. The car was then struck by a southbound half-ton truck.
The driver of the half-ton truck was not injured. The occupants of the car were extracted by the Calgary Fire Department. Sadly, two of them, a 37-year-old man and his seven-year-old daughter, were declared deceased on scene. An 11-year-old girl was transported to hospital in serious condition and later released to recover at home.
After striking the car, the three-quarter ton truck continued northbound, crossed over the center median, crossed the southbound lanes and drove up the shoulder and onto the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks where it came to rest. The driver, who received no injuries as a result of the collision, fled the scene on foot and was apprehended a short distance away.
He was taken into custody and multiple charges, including dangerous driving causing death, are pending the results of the investigation.
At this time there is no evidence of impairment on the part of the driver of the three-quarter ton truck. Excessive speed is considered a factor in this collision. Investigators are calling on anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or who may have dash camera footage of the vehicles leading up to the collision, to contact police.
"To the family and friends of the victims, our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. This is a season in which we should be celebrating with our loved ones, not mourning their loss," says Traffic Section Sgt. Colin Foster. "Help is available to anyone who may have witnessed or who was affected by this horrific and tragic incident by either contacting 2-1-1, or the Calgary Police Service Victims Assistance Support Team at 403-428-8398."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police by calling 403-266-1234. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers through any of the following methods:

Roundtable Issues Statement in Support of Public Investment in Child Care [4.25.22]
The Vermont Business Roundtable, an organization of over 100 Vermont business leaders, has championed the importance of early childhood care and education since 1999. Meanwhile, Vermont's inability to comprehensively address early care and education continues, and the resulting disparity has become more pronounced than ever in the context of COVID 19. As business leaders, community members, and Vermonters, we believe the challenge of early childhood care and education cannot continue to wait. The Roundtable urges all Vermonters to recognize publicly-funded early child-care as the best investment we can make in Vermont.
To be effective, the goals of early child-care must address the needs of Vermont's children from birth to kindergarten, and must include universal and affordable child-care, available to all children in Vermont, without financial barriers. A public program of quality care that sets standards and ensures child-care providers are experts trained in early education and compensated as professionals must be funded. We recognize that a program that achieves these goals will require a significant investment, and we are ready to do our part.
Our collective support for this investment is built upon core principles established by the Roundtable in January of 2021. These principles include an understanding that any revenues identified to implement early care and learning are transparent, equitable, competitive, and sustainable. We also believe that a truly impactful system should use data to be accountable to the outcomes that it produces. Our support stems from the belief that these goals can be achieved while ensuring every Vermont child has access to the care they need.

Mark Crow Op-Ed: The Time is Now for Pension Reform [03.22.21]
by Mark Crow, Chair, VBR Pension Reform Task Force and President, Tenth Crow Creative
What if you owed someone a substantial amount of money and were making annual payments each year to pay down the debt. However, every year, year after year, the amount you owe and the annual payments you must make increases – significantly.
Now, what if at the same time, you owed someone a separate substantial amount of money but there was no schedule to pay it back. You were making some intermittent, smaller payments when the lender periodically asked for them, but there was no plan in place to pay off the entire debt. And, like the first debt, each year, the amount you owe increases – significantly. Continue reading "Mark Crow Op-Ed: The Time is Now for Pension Reform [03.22.21]" →

Judy O'Connell, chair of the Roundtable Board of Directors and managing partner at Champlain Investment Partners, praised Ventriss.

Roundtable Issues Statement in Support for Investments into Ages 0-5 Early Childhood Education [1.28.21]
In 2021 the Vermont Legislature and taxpayers will face a number of important fiscal matters, including the need to deal with a general fund revenue shortfall and increasing demands for public services that result from the COVID-19 economic downturn. In this challenging environment, the following statement of support conveys the urgency with which the Vermont Business Roundtable believes investments in Ages 0-5 should be addressed by stakeholders.
Vermont's workers are challenged to find affordable high-quality childcare. Today, 3 out of 5 of Vermont's youngest children do not have access to the daily care they need.[1] The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated these challenges, increasing pressure on strained early childhood education programs (ECE) that cannot find and retain qualified educators.[2] As a result, Vermont's businesses face significant challenges in the recruitment and retention of workers, many of whom leave the workforce due to lack of affordable childcare.[3] Continue reading "Roundtable Issues Statement in Support for Investments into Ages 0-5 Early Childhood Education [1.28.21]" →
David Coates Op-Ed: Finally, Positive Action on the State Retirement Systems! [1.25.21]
by David Coates, Managing Partner, KPMG LLP (Retired)
For over ten years, these columns have been critical of the treatment of the state's retirement systems (state employees and teachers) which now in their present forms, are neither sustainable nor affordable without significant reforms. This has just changed with the State Treasurer's report to the Legislature.
The Treasurer and I have disagreed over the years on how to solve these problems. However, I must acknowledge and commend her for the recommendations she has made to the General Assembly on how to reduce pension and OPEB (retiree healthcare) liabilities, to ensure the retirement systems are able to continue to pay their participants.

$20M gift is largest in Tuskegee University's nearly 140-year history
Birmingham Times

TUSKEGEE, Ala. (WSFA) – One of the world's richest women has donated $20 million to Tuskegee University, making it the largest single gift in the university's nearly 140-year history.
Tuskegee University President Dr. Lily D. McNair accepted the gift Tuesday from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.
Scott, who was previously married to Amazon's Jeff Bezos, the world's richest man, received billions of dollars when the couple divorced in 2019. She later promised to give away half or more of her assets to charity in her lifetime or will.
And, according to CNN Business, she has donated $1.7 billion so far to a variety of organizations and causes.
"This gift comes at an opportune time for us," said McNair, who has led the institution since July 2018. "We are about to launch a five-year strategic planning effort and, with this investment from Ms. Scott, we will be able to unfold the next phase of our mission in ways we simply could not have considered before."
The gift, an unrestricted donation, will go toward building the private HBCU's reputation as one of the nation's leading institutions of higher education. McNair said she sees the funds going to support four broads areas. Those include increasing student access, strengthening signature programs, advancing research and innovation, and preserving the university's legacy.
"We will focus on student scholarships, faculty and curriculum development, interdisciplinary programs, and campus infrastructure improvements," she said. "The gift will allow us to become the Tuskegee of the 21st century – a university that integrates knowledge, leadership and service to solve the problems of a global, modern society."
Scott and McNair have never met but both are Princeton University alumnae. McNair earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from the institution while Scott, who has published two novels, studied under Pulitzer Prize author Toni Morrison.

Two men who sprayed graffiti over a number of buildings have paid their dues with community work.
The men, aged 18 and 20, sprayed paint over a number of commercial buildings, bridges, food vans and fences in Narborough, Broughton Astley and Whetstone.
The 20-year-old spent Thursday painting Whetstone church wall.
He said he "fully regretted" his actions.
"I've been beating myself up about it," he said. "I feel the community service is a just punishment and I definitely wont be doing it again.
"I'm sorry to everyone I've affected through my actions."
The 18-year-old will be carrying out weeding, sweeping and tidying up in Broughton Astley.
The men said the graffiti originally started out as a prank, but they now felt "genuine remorse".
Pc Kit Chauhan said she decided to find a suitable punishment outside the criminal justice system.
"Every case is dealt with on an individual basis," she said. "They were happy to help with our inquiries and work with the police. We didn't feel we needed to criminalise them so we gave them this option."
As part of the restorative justice scheme, the men agreed to carry out the community work.

Basketball gold for Royston's Edney
Updated: 6:40 PM December 14, 2020
Royston's Adam Edney struck basketball gold with the Eastern team at the Special Olympics Summer Games in Sheffield.
The 18-year-old, who studies at North Herts College in Stevenage, was the youngest player on the nine-man squad and helped Eastern through to the final against Wales.
And after a tense contest, he was able to collect a gold medal to the delight of mum Helen, who said: "It was so exciting and very emotional as well."
Edney became interested in basketball four years ago through the Special Olympics movement and plays for the Hertford-based Chiefs club.
The chance to compete at the event – and win – completed a remarkable journey for him as Helen added: "Eastern took two or three coachloads to Sheffield and the event took over the university from Monday to Saturday. They even had an athletes village, with no family members allowed!"

MCAT Biology : Carbohydrates
MCAT Biology Help » Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Metabolism » Macromolecules » Carbohydrates
Example Question #1 : Types Of Carbohydrates
Drain cleaners a common household staple, used to open clogged drains in bathtubs and sinks. Human hair is a common culprit that clogs pipes, and hair is made predominately of protein. Drain cleaners are effective at breaking down proteins that have accumulated in plumbing. Drain cleaners can be either acidic or basic, and are also effective at breaking down fats that have accumulated with proteins.
A typical reaction—reaction 1—which would be expected for a drain cleaner on contact with human hair, would be as follows in an aqueous solution:
Another reaction that may occur, reaction 2, would take place as follows in an aqueous solution:
In contrast to the proteins in Reactions 1 and 2, the body uses carbohydrates __________.
to store energy for immediate use
to dissolve nonpolar solutes in blood
to function as a secondary energy source after fatty acids have been oxidized
to create strucutral elements of cells
to store energy for use over many days
Carboydrates are the main energy currency of cells. They are typically burned first, before fats and proteins, to generate energy. Proteins, in contrast, are usually the functional biomolecules, serving structural and enzymatic roles.
Example Question #1 : Carbohydrates
Which of the following accurately describes glucose?
Aldopentose
Ketopentose
Ketohexose
Aldohexose
Glucose is composed of six carbons. When not in ring form, there is an aldehyde at the end of the molecule. As a result, glucose is an example of an aldohexose.
Which of the following carbohydrates is created in animals, but not in plants?
Glucose is stored in animals cells in the form of glycogen. Plants store glucose as either starch or cellulose. Amylose is a specialized component of starch, and plays a key role in plant energy storage.
Plants do not form glycogen, similar to the way that humans cannot form (or break down) cellulose.
Which of the following statements is true concerning glucose?
The 6th carbon attacks the carbonyl carbon in order to create the cyclic structure of glucose
Maltose and cellulose differ by the type of linkage between the glucose monomers
-glucopyranose has the anomeric carbon's alcohol group pointing in the opposite direction of the 6th carbon's alcohol group
D-glucose has the highest chiral carbon's hydroxyl group pointing to the left
Maltose and cellulose are both composed of glucose monomers that are combined in a 1,4 glycosidic linkage, however they differ by the type of 1,4 linkage used. Cellulose uses a beta 1,4 linkage, while maltose uses an alpha 1,4 linkage.
Which carbon in a carbohydrate determines whether a human is capable of digesting it properly?
All chiral carbons affect its digestion capabilities
The anomeric carbon
The carbonyl carbon
The first chiral carbon
Humans are only capable of digesting the "D" isomer of a carbohydrate. The carbon that determines whether a carbohydrate is "D" or "L" is the first chiral carbon in the sugar. If it points to the right, the sugar can be digested by humans.
Which type of bond is created between carbohydrates and the sidechain amine of select asparagine residues in proteins?
N-glycosidic
O-glycosidic
Both are correct
Neither is correct
A glycosidic bond covalently joins a carbohydrate molecule to another molecule. An O-glycosidic bond is a covalent linkage between a carbohydrate and a protein, joining a serine or threonine hydroxyl side chain and a sugar (oxygen in the bond yields "O"). An N-glycosidic linkage involves bonding of a carbohydrate and a protein, joining an asparagine side chain amide and a sugar (nitrogen in the bond yields "N"). Thus, N-glycosidic is the correct answer.
Which of the following statements is true concerning glucose polymers?
Humans lack the enzyme that can break down the beta linkages in cellulose.
Glucose is not favored in the body in ring form.
Starch is a glucose polymer held together by an -(1,6) linkage.
Humans do not eat foods that contain cellulose.
Glucose is the primary carbohydrate absorbed by humans, and exists for its majority of time in the body in ring form. Humans are only capable of digesting alpha linked glucose polymers, and are unable to break down beta linked polymers. As a result, cellulose is incapable of being broken down by humans.
Starch is formed by an -1,4 linkage, while glycogen is formed by an -1,6 linkage. Both of these can be digested, as they do not contain beta linkages.
Example Question #1 : Properties Of Carbohydrates
Cellulose is a type of carbohydrate used in plants to store glucose. Cellulose cannot be broken down by humans, but is able to be digested by ruminants (cows for example). What is the best explanation for why ruminants are able to digest cellulose?
Ruminants house bacteria in their digestive tracts that are able to break down the cellulose
Ruminants create an enzyme that allows them to digest cellulose
Ruminants have a stomach pH of roughly 2.5
Ruminants have four stomachs which allow them to digest food for a much longer time
Ruminants rearrange the molecular configuration of cellulose, allowing it to be digested by other enzymes
Cellulose and other polysaccharides with beta linkages can only be broken down by bacteria. As a result, cows have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that live in their digestive systems.

In the last 25 years, ski fashion has changed a lot!
Since we started up 25 years ago we have witnessed a wide range of ski fashion on the slopes from the death of the onesie to its rebirth there have been a lot of styles.
We thought that while we are reflecting on 25 years of making ski holidays we should look back at some of the clothes we probably wore but have since binned and erased all evidence of.
The 90's witnessed the transition from the bright clothing of the 80's to day-glow and pastel colours. But it didn't mean goodbye to the onesie as that iconic piece of clothing manages to hang around almost until the turn of the century. It was also a when the ski bib arrived on the slopes. Essentially it was just the top part of an all in one suite and often came with a belt located around the midriff and kangaroo type pocket pouches.

Headbands were still part of the trend for our heads and for some reason wearing a baseball cap on the slopes was becoming a thing! Towards the end of the decade, synthetic fleece material was starting to be used and dictate a lot of the new styles as well as the development of gore-tex inspired materials. Wearing a one-piece was a thing of the past and the two piece with the dungaree style salopettes was starting to emerge.
Colour was starting to become a bit more muted on the pistes of the early 00's with greys, greens and blues becoming popular and there was an assumption that if you wore something bright that you were a good rider. Padded jackets also became a must-have look despite the lack of movement it offered the skier, combine this with the microfleece layer and we all started to look like all we ate was fondue.
Snowboarding was at its peak of popularity in the double O's and by the middle of the decade was starting to have an influence on winter ski fashion. Snowboarding trends were influenced by the baggy clothing of the skateboarding scene. The desire for baggy low cut trousers aided the demise of the traditional salopettes and the need for upper body movement encouraged the development of looser lightweight jackets. And as time went by the ski world started to adopt the styles and fashions of the "cooler" snowboarding scene.
By the time we headed into the second decade of the century colour was back, the rivalry between skiing and snowboarding was just a murmur and rock star winter sports icons like Shaun White and Lindsay Vonn had emerged. Ski clothing was now practical, well designed, trendy and affordable. The main trend has been for technical clothing that performs well for its intended use, with clothing designed for different disciplines. The baggy look has been overtaken in both sports in favour of a return to a more fitted look.

One of the most important fashion developments to happen was the styling of helmets. Originally these were cumbersome and unattractive, they were practical but not very cool with a one option fits all. Today the majority of piste users wear them and they have evolved to match your look. The protection of your head is well and truly in vogue.
We have also seen a growth in retro looks on the slopes. Originally there was a wave of ironic 80's clothing being worn on the slopes which was aided by the arrival of online companies renting out retro ski outfits. Slowly this has become adopted into the wider mountain fashion but there are also companies making redesigned onesies that look pretty cool!
Alpine Action is celebrating 25 years of making ski holidays!

AI Powered Diagnostic Tool To Aid In The Early Detection Of Leprosy
AI-powered Diagnostic Tool to Aid in the Early Detection of Leprosy
Working to eliminate leprosy
For over 30 years, Novartis and the Novartis Foundation have been working with partners around the world to eliminate leprosy. The introduction of multidrug therapy (MDT) in 1981 has helped to lead to a 99% reduction in the global burden of leprosy, and MDT has been donated by Novartis through the WHO since 2000. The introduction of multidrug therapy (MDT) in 1981 has helped to lead to a 99% reduction in the global burden of leprosy, and MDT has been donated by Novartis through the WHO since 2000.
But today an estimated 2 – 3 million people are still living with the disease and the Novartis Foundation has been working to accelerate efforts to eliminate leprosy by focusing on interventions that aim to interrupt transmission.
On January 29, Microsoft Corp. announced a new five-year program, AI for Health, which will leverage artificial intelligence (AI) technology to empower researchers and organizations to address some of the world's toughest challenges in health.
The Novartis Foundation has been selected as one of the partners of the AI for Health initiative AI for Health initiative, and will be working to scale-up an exciting AI-powered diagnostic tool to aid in the early detection of leprosy.
The innovative digital tool promises to facilitate earlier leprosy diagnosis, enabling timely intervention to prevent patients from the debilitating effects of this ancient disease.

Q: Sidekiq threads accessing global variable I have a controller that spins off 6 sidekiq threads for faster parallel processing of a large file. Before that however I want to provide these threads with a few variables that should be available accross all threads because they variables themselves are fairly memory intensive. (it is only reading from that, not writing, so the concurrency issues doesn't exist)
In other words my controller looks like this
def foo
  $bar1 = ....
  $bar2 = ...
  worker.perform_async()...
  worker2.perform_async()...
end

I don't want to put those global vars into the perform methods because serializing those to redis chokes the entire thing. My issue is that the workers cannot see these variables and die because of a no method error (i.e. trying to call .first on on of them gives that error because the var is nil for the workers).
How come? Is there any other way to do this that won't kill my memory? (i.e. I don't want to take up most of the mem with 6x the same large array)

A: Sidekiq runs on a separate process, so it doesn't share the same memory as the initiator of the worker.
If the data is static, you might want to load it on the start of the sidekiq process (maybe when you configure the sidekiq server).
If it changes per task, you should model it in a way where you can create a global repository to hold it (if redis is not good for this, maybe you can try memcached)...
