Pharrell Confirms Working On Despicable Me 2
He's one of the best known musical collaborators of his generation, yet Pharrell Williams feels a bit out of the game. And he wants back in. The American hip hop pop rapper, who has worked with the likes of Madonna, Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani and Kanye West, is falling in love with music again after devoting all his energy to touring. "I just want to have fun with music again," the three-time Grammy Award winner tells Insider. "I have been kind of out of it. I've been on the road a lot and just kind of, like, away from it. I haven't put out a lot, but as of now I am a musical AK-47. It's all about what sounds good and what feels good. I am in love with music all over again." Williams is speaking to Insider from LA, shooting a television commercial and online viral video for Smirnoff vodka with N*E*R*D's track Truth Or Dare as the soundtrack.
The theme for the campaign is "Start Pure", and purity is a word the 38-year-old says he relates to in his music and the way he tries to live his life. "Purity is something that I haven't been the best at, but I've tried so much because I think it happens to be a big part of my career and what people know me for, trying to stay pure to what feels right and what makes sense versus what everybody else does," he says. "I'm human so I'm not always going to make the best decisions. The bulk of my work has been pure, but there's definitely slip-ups where I'm, like, s..t I shouldn't have done that. There's also miscalculation, where you think something is pure and right and it turns out completely wrong." As a solo artist, and as a member of N*E*R*D and The Neptunes, he has sold millions of albums.
He has worked on chart-topping tracks with Snoop Dogg, Ludacris and Britney Spears. More recently he has been touring with N*E*R*D visiting Australia earlier this year and describing the trip as "super sick". But he's happy to be back home and working on new solo material, as well as creating the soundtrack for Despicable Me Part Two. Williams also has a number of fashion projects on the boil and is set to collaborate with Jay-Z on a line of clothing. "And there's another film we're doing that takes place in Africa and there are all these incredible sounds," explains Williams, who has modelled for Louis Vuitton and was once voted by Esquire magazine as being the best-dressed man in the world. "We just want to make full-good music, music that feels good, stimuli."

Q: can't escape out of 2 levels of nested route namespaces using url_for I have 3 levels of nested routes in my Rails 3.0.10 application. like this:
resources :foo
namespace :bar do
  resources :foo
  namespace :baz do
    resources :foo
  end
end

when in controllers foo or bar/foo all seems to work fine, but once I get into controller bar/baz/foo I can't get a routing to the 1st level controller.
Example code:
application_controller.rb:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  protect_from_forgery

  def urls_dump
    [
      {:controller => "foo"},
      {:controller => "/foo"},
    ].map do |opts|
      begin
        url_for(opts.dup)
      rescue  => e
        "BAD: #{opts.inspect}: #{e}"
      end
    end.join("\n") + "\n"
  end
end

foo_controller.rb:
class FooController < ApplicationController
  def index
    render :text => urls_dump
  end
end

bar/foo_controller.rb:
module Bar
  class FooController < ApplicationController
    def index
      render :text => urls_dump
    end
  end
end

bar/baz/foo_controller.rb:
module Bar
  module Baz
    class FooController < ApplicationController
      def index
        render :text => urls_dump
      end
    end
  end
end

not when I try to access them:
✗ curl http://localhost:3000/foo

http://localhost:3000/foo
http://localhost:3000/foo

✗ curl http://localhost:3000/bar/foo

http://localhost:3000/bar/foo
http://localhost:3000/foo

✗ curl http://localhost:3000/bar/baz/foo

http://localhost:3000/bar/baz/foo
BAD: {:controller=>"/foo"}: No route matches {:controller=>"bar//foo"}

Anna Pavlova Filosofova, född augusti 1837, död mars 1912, var en rysk feminist. Hon var jämsides med Nadezjda Stasova (1835-1895) de två mest framstående ledarna för den första organiserade feminismen i Ryssland. Hon arbetade främst för fler utbildningsmöjligheter för båda könen.

Biografi

Filosofova föddes i en förmögen adelsfamilj och utbildades privat. Hon var medlem i en av de många litterära diskussionsklubbar som hade uppkommit efter Krimkriget, en läsecirkel som bildats av henne själv, Maria Trubnikova (1835-1897) och Nadezjda Stasova (1835-1895). Efter nederlaget i Krimkriget, som hade blottställt Ryssland som efterblivet, hade kraftiga reformer införts i utbildningsväsendet, bland annat hade icke adliga fått tillträde till universitetet och 131 flickskolor grundats, varav 37 var läroverk. Trubnikova, som studerade feministisk litteratur från väst och var bekant med Josephine Butler, talade för högre utbildning för flickor för att kunna delta i de intellektuella diskussionsklubbarna på samma nivå som männen. De bildade rad välgörenhetsorganisationer för logi, mat och arbetsförmedling åt utblottade kvinnor och utgav även icke ryska böcker genom ett kooperativ. Filosofova var ordförande för flera av dessa organisationer. De fick en kort tid rätt att närvara vid föreläsningarna på universiteten, men utestängdes igen 1862.

Kvinnogruppen under ledning av Filosofova, Trubnikova och Stasova framställde förslag på att få hålla universitetskurser för kvinnor i universitets lokaler då de inte användes av de manliga studenterna, och 1869 fick de igenom sitt krav. Dessa kurser visade sig så populära att regimen 1876 gjorde dem permanenta, men samma år förlorade kurserna rätten att utfärda universitetsexamina, och 1883 förbjöds de alla utom en i Sankt Petersburg. Följden blev att kvinnor studerade utomlands, vilket gjorde att de i regimens ögon misstänktes för revolutionära aktiviteter, och 1895 inrättades ett universitet för utbildning av kvinnligare medicinare. Samma år bildades kvinnorättsgruppen De ryska kvinnornas välgörenhetsförbund under ledning av Filosofova, som officiellt var en välgörenhetsförening på grund av det allmänna förbudet mot politisk aktivitet. Gruppen hade svårt att göra någonting konkret på grund av förbudet mot all politisk aktivism, men höjde medvetandet om feminismen. Anna Filosofova var 1899 ordförande i International Council of Women.

År 1904 tilläts återigen universitetskurser för kvinnor utanför Sankt Petersburg, och samma år mottog Anna Filosofova och hennes kolleger ett erkännande av tsaren för sin tjugofemåriga "fruktbara verksamhet" inom Sällskapet för finansiering av högre utbildningskurser för kvinnor. 1905 öppnades universiteten för båda könen och samma år splittrades den ryska kvinnorörelsen i och med tillståndet för politisk aktivitet infördes. Införandet av manlig rösträtt i Ryssland gjorde att frågan om kvinnlig rösträtt togs upp av förbundet, som skickade in en begäran om kvinnlig rösträtt till duman. Filosofova var 1908 ordförande i den första ryska kvinnokongressen.

I thought someone out in Bloggetyville might be interested to see how a family of 9 celebrates Christmas for under $250 $300 total. Actually, I don't know if that's our total, because husband dear won't be purchasing my gift until Christmas eve, and we haven't actually bought stocking candy yet. It should be under $300 still when I get those numbers in.
We usually have a fairly frugal Christmas. We don't have any credit cards, so we have to pay cash, which helps a lot. Amazingly, God always provides... last year Mr R's school gave us $500 (!) to spend at WalMart, which was amazing since we had $0 to spend on Christmas, as we were putting our pennies towards Baby X. This year, a neighbor gave us a box of toys that were left over from their Angel Tree. They just had a few odds and ends left over that didn't fit in the truck and asked her to find a family to give it too. The few odds and ends were toys for preschool girls and elementary aged boys!
So far, I have bought some gifts both Eco Friendly and Recycled (aka, Garage Sale and Goodwill) and at a few stores. I was so happy to find out from HealthyToys.org that the Imaginext Dinosaurs were safe! Mr. S has been wanting one for over a year now. They were on clearance at Target (clearance toys at Christmastime? What are they thinking?) so he gets two.
Whoops! Totally forgot the Walgreen's Stocking stuffers ($5.25) and the new missals and church books I bought at the Daughters of St. Paul's last week ($21).
New total: $198.75 - although this was spent between Sept. and Dec. and did not come out of the same month's budget!
We give the kids brand new jammies on Christmas Eve every year. That way I can keep all the pictures straight. I'm having problems with my big boys though, finding jammies for a skinny 9 yo boy is a challenge. Last year he was in size 10 Spiderman jammies; this year, he outgrew those over the summer and I think is going to have to settle for pajama pants and t-shirts. Haven't gotten those yet.
I made teacher baskets as well, for CCD teachers (x4), Mr R's Bus driver and assistant, and Mr R's teacher and assistant. Last year we had a terrible bus driver so I really, really appreciate wonderful Miss Alma this year. I do find it ironic that I homeschool and still made 8 teacher appreciation baskets! I made homemade goodies, because that is cheaper than buying a tchotchke, and how many apple themed coffee cups does a person need, anyway?
Vanilla - I'll estimate $.15. It's so cheap for a huge bottle of the real stuff at Sam's Club!
Flour, sugar .50 total maybe?
Flour, sugar, cinnamon, etc. $.50?
Rolls- pennies. I make them myself.


While there have been single gender schools for centuries, it's only been in recent years that research has shown why such schools are the better option for educating young people.
Teaching teens to cultivate grit is teaching them to believe that their personal and professional success is in their own hands. Not a bad way to begin the journey through a life of success.

The SLNCR Lough Class was a class of 0-6-4T steam tank locomotives of the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway (SLNCR).

Development
By the end of World War II the SLNCR's locomotive fleet was in poor condition, but neither the Great Northern nor Córas Iompair Éireann could spare any suitable locomotives for hire. The SLNCR considered ordering a Garratt articulated locomotive to haul heavier trains, but it could scarcely afford one locomotive of such a large size. Therefore, it decided instead to order two more smaller locomotives, on the basis that if one required maintenance the other could still be available for traffic.

In June 1946 the SLNCR ordered just one new locomotive from Beyer, Peacock & Company at Gorton Foundry, Manchester, England. The SLNCR's financial situation was worsening, but despite this it ordered the second locomotive about a year later. The Lough class was a more modern and more powerful development of the Sir Henry class, which was also built by Beyer, Peacock & Company but was introduced in 1904.

Delivery and SLNCR service
Beyer, Peacock & Company completed both locomotives ready for delivery in spring 1949 but by then the SLNCR could not afford to pay for them. The SLNCR therefore asked the Government of Northern Ireland's Ministry of Commerce to lend it £22,000 to pay for the two locomotives. Protracted negotiations between the SLNCR, Ministry of Commerce and Beyer, Peacock eventually resulted in a hire purchase agreement in 1951, and the two locomotives were shipped from England to Belfast in June and July of that year. They were taken first to the GNR's Adelaide locomotive depot in Belfast, where their side tanks were fitted. They were then delivered to the SLNCR's locomotive depot at , County Leitrim.

The Lough class became the last new steam locomotives to enter revenue-earning service with an Irish railway company. CIÉ's turf-burning locomotive entered traffic later, but remained experimental and never entered revenue-earning service. The Loughs could haul trains 25% heavier than the Sir Henrys, and they were worked hard from 1951 until the SLNCR's closure.

The SLNCR had never prospered, and in 1957 it closed to all traffic. On Monday 30 September 1957 Lough Melvin hauled the company's last service, a mixed train from Eniskillen to Sligo.

SLNCR livery
By the 1950s the SLNCR's locomotive livery was unlined black. Brasswork was also painted black but the borders and lettering of the locomotive nameplates were picked out in red. Coupling rods and buffer beams were also painted red.

Identification
The SLNCR did not number its steam locomotives but named them. The Lough Class were named Lough Melvin and Lough Erne.

(a) : Beyer, Peacock & Company works numbers 7136/7/8 were originally allocated to three War Department Garratt locomotives. This order was cancelled, 7136 and 7137 were re-allocated to two extra Garratts for the Great Western Railway of Brazil, added to a delayed pre-war order sub-contracted to Henschel & Son.

(b) : The last tank locomotive built by Beyer Peacock & Company, order No.1427.

Sale and UTA service
When the SLNCR closed at the end of September 1957 the Loughs were still on hire purchase from their builders. Beyer, Peacock eventually sold the pair in 1959 to the Ulster Transport Authority (UTA).

The UTA designated the Loughs Class Z and numbered them 26 and 27, but they continued to carry their names and nameplates. For a short while the UTA allocated both locomotives to Adelaide shed for service as shunters on the quays and Grosvenor Road goods yard. It then transferred them to York Road, where they eventually replaced NCC Class Y.

On 28 May 1960, locomotive 26 Lough Melvin hauled a two-coach Irish Railway Record Society special train from Belfast York Road to ,  and via the former Belfast Central Railway to Belfast Queen's Quay, the tour eventually terminating at . This was recorded as the first passenger working of an ex-SLNCR locomotive in the ownership of the UTA.

The UTA withdrew 26 Lough Melvin from service in 1965 but did not dispose of it. Northern Ireland Railways (NIR) took over the UTA's railway operations in 1967 and sold Lough Melvin for scrap in 1968. NIR withdrew 27 Lough Erne in 1969.

Preservation
The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland bought Lough Erne and used it to shunt its yard at Whitehead until its boiler failed in 1972. Lough Erne remains at Whitehead awaiting extensive restoration.

UPDATE: 'Avoid area' on Hamilton Mountain: teenager struck by driver, is in 'critical condition'
Hamilton | Health | Latest News | Police | Traffic |
By Nathan Sager
Published January 11, 2023 at 6:05 pm
Upper Paradise Rd. and Stone Church Rd. (Google Street view)
(Update: The 15-year-old boy died as a result of his injuries. A 15-year-old boy who was driving the car that hit him has been arrested by the Hamilton Police.)
Preliminary reports, from the police chief himself, indicate that a teenager was struck by a motorist on Tuesday afternoon, resulting in a closure along a major roadway on Hamilton Mountain.
Real-time traffic tracking from Hamilton Police (HPS) said shortly after 3:30 p.m. that Upper Paradise Rd. is closed between Stone Church Rd. W. and Skyview Dr., and a follow-up tweet about 45 minutes later asked motorists to, "Please avoid area." But Hamilton Police Chief Frank Bergen, amidst a budget presentation to the general issues committee meeting at city hall, said the teenage may have life-threatening injuries.
"We just had a teenager struck this afternoon," Chief Bergen said. "There is hope for their recovery, but it's not looking good."
The social media post by HPS says, "One individual has been transported to hospital in critical condition. Investigation continues. No further information at this time."
Police were to provide further information after 6 p.m., but reports have suggested that two sports-utility vehicles were involved in the collision.
Roadway safety has been a ranking social issue in Hamilton over the last two years. Bergen noted to the GIC that the city had 24 traffic deaths (pedestrians, motorists, passengers and cyclists) in 2022. That was double the 12 that occurred in 2021, which in itself was a 10-year high at the time.

Only hours before the collision, Ward 12 Coun. Craig Cassar warned of a possible safety hazard in a residential area of his ward in Ancaster. A nearly year-long road reconstruction project recently began in the Ancaster area.
"Our office is receiving numerous complaints about drivers using John Frederick Road, Lima Court and Greenbriar Road to get around the #RoadClosure due to construction on Southcote," Cassar wrote on Twitter. "Reports indicate that there is increased speeding, volume, and aggressive driving."

Many of the traffic deaths in 2022 came in the first four to five months of the year. That prompted the previous city council to pass a string of traffic calming measures, including a lane reduction on Main Street in the downtown. It will eventually be converted into a two-way street.

Capstone has had a local office in Kings Norton for several years with an active and dedicated team of registered foster carers. Because there is always a shortage of carers in England in general and in Hereford in particular, we have an ongoing and active recruitment effort. We have a contract with the Herefordshire Council's local authority. The LA takes children into care and works with their own carers and with independent fostering agencies, such as Capstone is, to find placements.
Our social work team arranges support sessions and supervisions with carers at their homes. There is always a social worker available to offer advice, guidance, support, and resources and one of them is on call 24/7. They work on a rota so there is someone there when you need them.
We are looking for families in Hereford with a spare bedroom who can provide support and a positive family experience for children and young people of all ages, although most children we are asked to place are between the ages of 5 and 18. When we have a referral for babies, it is usually in the form of a parent and child placement. While this usually involves a young mother and baby who need support, it could also be a father and baby or both parents and their child.
Having a spare bedroom is a prerequisite. We are often asked to place sibling groups of all ages, and each child is expected to have his or her own bedroom. Therefore, if you have more than one spare bedroom, we would like to talk to you about joining our team.
If you are interested, the first person to speak with is our recruitment co-ordinator. In a telephone conversation, you will discuss whether this career is right for you, your family, and your home. If you want a bit of information on who a typical foster parent is, we can't tell you because there is no such person as a typical carer. He can be a single male, a married couple, gay or lesbian, in her twenties or well into retirement. We can tell you that the typical carer is in good health, patient, compassionate, fun-loving, and caring.
Being a carer is rewarding as you help a child grow into a brighter future. You are well compensated with the fostering allowance and fees that not only cover all the child's expenses but rewards you for your skills and efforts. Foster parenting is a team effort. You work with a supervising social worker, network with other carers in your neighbourhood, and join Capstone in the family activities where you, your birth children, and your foster children get together for a day of fun.
You can enquire online by submitting an enquiry form, or by sending an email. Otherwise, Alison is the initial point of contact for those interested in joining Capstone as a foster carer. Contact her on 0800 012 4004. After an initial phone conversation, we'll be happy to come out and visit your home to discuss fostering further.

El Cementerio de Guerra Canadiense de Bény-sur-Mer es un cementerio que contiene principalmente soldados canadienses muertos durante las primeras etapas de la Batalla de Normandía en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El cementerio está situado en el pueblo de Bény-sur-Mer, en el departamento de Calvados, cerca de Caen en la Baja Normandía. Como es típico de los cementerios de guerra en Francia, el terreno está bellamente diseñado y mantiene una apariencia inmaculada. En el interior del cementerio se encuentra una Cruz del Sacrificio, un monumento típico de los memoriales diseñados por la Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Historia

Bény-sur-Mer fue creado como un lugar permanente para depositar los cuerpos de los soldados canadienses caídos en batalla y que habían sido enterrados temporalmente en pequeñas parcelas cerca de donde cayeron. Como es habitual en los cementerios de guerra, Francia concedió a perpetuidad a Canadá los terrenos ocupados por el cementerio. Las tumbas contienen soldados canadienses de la 3 ª División y 15 aviadores muertos en la Batalla de Normandía. El cementerio también incluye cuatro tumbas británicas y una tumba francesa, con un total de 2.049 tumbas. La tumba francesa pertenece a un soldado de la resistencia francesa llamado R. Guenard que luchó y murió junto a los canadienses y que no tenía parientes conocidos. Su marcador es una cruz gris y lleva inscrita "Mort pour la France-19-7-1944".

Debido a la confusión durante el movimiento de los restos desde los cementerios temporales, los restos de un soldado canadiense estaban fuera de lugar. Su tumba se distingue de los demás, y lleva una inscripción que indica que se sabe que sus restos están en el Bény-sur-Mer cementerio. Bény-sur-Mer contiene los restos de 9 parejas de hermanos, un récord para un cementerio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Un gran número de muertos en el cementerio cayeron a principios de julio de 1944 en la Batalla de Caen. El cementerio contiene también los soldados que cayeron durante el asalto inicial del Día D de la playa Juno. Los prisioneros de guerra canadienses ilegalmente ejecutados en la Abadía de Ardenne están enterrados aquí. Canadienses que murieron más tarde en la campaña fueron enterrados en el cementerio canadiense de guerra de Bretteville-sur-Laize.

Localización

El cementerio se sitúa cerca de 1 kilómetro al este de la aldea de Reviers, en el departamento de Calvados, en el camino Creully-Tailleville-Ouistreham (D.35). Se encuentra a 15 kilómetros al noroeste de Caen, 18 kilómetros al este de Bayeux, y 3,5 kilómetros al sur de Courseulles-sur-Mer. El pueblo de Beny-sur-Mer se sitúa a unos 2 kilómetros al sureste del cementerio. El servicio de autobuses entre Caen y Arromanches (a través de Reviers y Ver-sur-Mer) pasa por el cementerio. El cementerio se puede visitar en cualquier momento, y los circuitos del cementerio están disponibles a través de empresas que ofrecen recorridos por lugares históricos del Día D en el área. El cementerio es fácil de encontrar y dispone de amplio aparcamiento.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome: From Diagnosis to Recovery
Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. Feelings of tingling and weakness increase in intensity until the muscles cannot be used at all and the patient is almost totally paralyzed. No one knows why Guillain-Barre strikes some people and not others, or what sets the disease in motion. What we do know is that GBS is now the most common cause of acute paralysis in Western countries since the virtual elimination of poliomyelitis with vaccination programs. Guillain-Barre Syndrome, co-authored by a survivor of this illness, addresses all aspects of this condition, including initial symptoms, diagnostic evaluation and criteria, general and illness specific treatments, and typical outcomes. Fortunately, most GBS patients have a good recovery, but the pathway to this goal can be slow and scary. This book covers a wide range of issues including: Features unique to GBS such as pain without injury and other abnormal sensations. Workplace adjustment with incomplete recovery Intensive care unit management Practical caregivers guidelines The rehabilitation process Sexual dysfunction, and much more Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a comprehensive book, written in lay terms, covering everything from diagnosis to emotional issues. It is a book that stands alone. This latest volume in the American Academy of Neurology Press Quality of Life Guide series is an essential tool for all individuals, families, and caregivers coping with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

Peep-Hole Sheet #24 – A Drivel
Keren Cytter [see all titles]
miscellaneous [see all issues]
Edited by Keren Cytter.
published in July 2015
25 x 33,5 cm (broadsheet in transparent packaging) / 33,5 x 50 cm (unfolded)
A drivel is a short story wrote by Keren Cytter in a style reminiscent of Witold Gombrowicz, though its meaning gets lost in the continuous intertwining of characters, their stories and their memories.
According to Cytter, this text written for fun is "not about anything". However, it actually has a lot to say about the artist's work in general, to the extent that it exemplifies her constant investigation of possible ways of "representing" and "narrating". The surreal atmosphere, the sense of suspension and the complex relationship of the characters remind us of the sequences of her films and that microcosm of affects they stage, where humor and pathos, fiction and reality, desire and nostalgia continually mingle, rebound and overlap.
Peep-Hole Sheet is a quarterly of writings by artists published by Mousse Publishing. Each issue is dedicated solely to one artist, who is invited to contribute with an unpublished text whose content is completely free in terms both of subject and format. The texts are published in their original language, with accompanying translations in English and Italian. Peep-Hole Sheet is meant for those who believe artists are catalysts for ideas all around us, and who want to read their words without any filter. Over time it aspires to build up an anthology of writings that might open new perspectives for interpreting and understanding our times.
Keren Cytter (born 1977 in Tel Aviv, lives and works in Amsterdam and Berlin) is an Israeli visual artist and filmaker.
Her topics often include love stories, violence, sex and murder. She applies a non-linear narrative, the stories often shot with a hand-held camera. The actors—amateurs and friends of the artist, but more recently professional actors—switch roles with each other, or read their stage directions out loud. Scenes are repeated, but with a different course of events, with voiceovers or alternative dialogues. The films are usually set in simply-furnished apartments, especially the kitchen regions, suggesting a connection to kitchen sink realism. The literary tone of the dialogue, however, is far from realistic. "Instead the films are deliberate hybrids between seemingly incompatible genres, between home videos and auteur films in the spirit of the French nouvelle vague, between Dogme and docu-soap or sitcom. But her films are above all existential dramas about the human condition, about love and hate in our thoroughly medialised age" (Magnus af Petersens).
Keren Cytter has rapidly established herself internationally as one of the most interesting and unique artists on the contemporary art scene. At the mere age of 33, in the last years she has produced more than 50 video works, written three novels and an opera libretto, started the dance and theatre company D.I.E. Now, won awards and is the darling of the art press. Her critically acclaimed film works and drawings have been exhibited in leading institutions throughout Europe and North America, including the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig (Vienna), KW Institute for Contemporary Art (Berlin), the Museum of Modern Art (Dublin), and the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York). She has also participated in prestigious international exhibitions such as the 9e Biennale de Lyon, Manifesta 7 (Trento), the Yokohama Triennale of 2008, and the Venice Biennale 2009.

Exciting news from Vicfold Recyclers from Nigeria, the winner of the #youforG20 contest. Founder Amusa Victor attends a startup mentoring camp in Berlin.
After such a long break from sharing a blog post with readers I wish to express my profound apologies to you all for my absence in the blog space for such a long while. Its due to the enormous challenges that comes with Scale Up of Businesses.
I will however like to hit the ground running and there is no other place to define eco sustainability other than Germany itself. I am currently attending a startup mentoring camp in Berlin and I want to share the great things I have seen from my window as my aircraft descended to land at the Tegel International Airport Berlin, and the very mind-blowing culture of waste recycling I have seen young and old Germans practice.
Right from the sky the beauty of renewable energy installations like solar farms and wind mills is indeed a pleasure to behold. Not to mention the consciousness of Germans to actively participate at ensuring a pollution-free society.
I must however not fail to mention the need therefore escalate an African-German eco sustainability platform to help set developing countries especially Nigeria and other sub Saharan countries on the road to robust renewable energy structures and relative environmental protection agenda. I sincerely hope to visit Germany again soon so I can have the opportunity to explore the very commendable eco sustainability space.
Waste generation has increased in very alarming proportions over the years as demography is an activity indicator in studies of waste management. As the population of human on earth grows the volume of waste generated also grows, the more complicated the living standards of the human population is, the more the complexity in the type of waste they generate. For example, in an agrarian community organic waste from unpreserved farm produce is expected while in the more commercial and cosmopolitan settlements inorganic waste from items meant to easy mobility and accessibility to fast moving consumer goods dominates the large chunk of waste generated.
How do we cut down indiscriminate waste disposal?
Indiscriminate disposal of waste is really a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. It is indeed a matter of residents taking a firm stand against unwholesome waste management practices as there is no place called "away", so the statement of waste is thrown away is shrouded in denial of fact. Indiscriminate waste disposal has grievous effects on human life, the sanctity of which cannot be trivialize in the new year and beyond. The big question, therefore, is how do we cut down on indiscriminate waste disposal?
The very simple answer to which is the geometric reduction in waste generated while adjusting our living pattern to favour good environmental protection practices as our environment is not just the core to healthy living, it is the bedrock of human very existence. As I conclude it is heartwarming to inform readers of this blog that Vicfold Recyclers – Nigeria has commenced full Polythene Waste Pelleting operations and has further created additional 10 jobs for women and youths in Kwara State, North Central Nigeria, while likewise intercepting over 40,000 kg of plastic waste from going to the landfills.

Masks were worn by participants in Tsimshianic (referred to in the hall as Tsimshian) ceremonies. Ceremonies featuring property distributions (potlatches) were held when a child's ears were pierced; when names, crests, or ceremonial prerogatives were transferred; when houses were built,and when totem poles were erected. The transfer of supernatural power from an adult to a child was the occasion of a major ceremony. The adult danced, sang the songs associated with his spirit protector, enticed it to him, and symbolically hurled it into children who, with their mothers, were hidden under a mat in the corner of the house. Following the ceremonial transfer of supernatural power, a person was eligible for initiation in to secret societies.


On Saturday, June 15th CHG Circa will present international street artist Ben Eine's first exhibition with the gallery entitled "Innocence". featuring an exclusive collection of his famed work, shown on the Victorian subway walls and rail yard fences of an Eine installation experience. Eine's symbols of color, contrast and form framed by street, shutter, and canvas, create a living syntax: a recognition of letters and words at play, abstract in the street and the gallery. Eine's art is figuratively laconic with its graffiti origins, and ironic with phrases as "Vandalism" co-opting criminal mischief for the bright aesthetics of his urban art. In the graffiti underground, Eine conceptualized the outlaw tag as a medium of innocence resistant to control - art versus vandalism. Within the exhibition space, his street themes find new mercurial contrasts - art versus business. Art's innocence, resilient to control, is what Eine calls happy graffiti.

General Retirement Planning
Tax Options for Taking Lump Sum Retirements
By: Doug Berthon
Many investors take their nest egg as a lump-sum distribution.

3. Rules and Regulations for an SEP IRA Rollover
Upon leaving a company or retiring, some qualified plans allow for a lump-sum distribution, rather than systematic withdrawals. What is done with the distribution determines the taxable amount. The Internal Revenue Service assesses a 10 percent penalty for an early withdrawal unless you qualify for an exception. It is wise to research your options before requesting a lump-sum distribution.
Trustee-to-Trustee Transfer (Direct Rollover)
Taking a lump-sum distribution and directly transferring it to another similar account, such as an IRA or Roth IRA is called a trustee-to-trustee transfer. A taxable event does not occur in such cases and no penalty is incurred. If the sending account was a Roth, the receiving account must be a Roth as well. The same is true of an IRA. This type of transfer is common when an employee leaves a company and doesn't want to leave her retirement money under the control of the departed company.
If the check is written and sent to you to place in another account, it is called a rollover. Distributions from qualified plans are required to have 20 percent withheld for federal income tax. The 20 percent withheld is considered a distribution and is taxable unless the receiver makes up the difference. This can be a hardship, which makes a trustee-to-trustee transfer preferable over a rollover. The money must be deposited in another qualified account within 60 days or the entire lump sum is taxable, and if you are younger than 59 1/2 years old, a 10 percent penalty applies.
If you take a lump-sum distribution and do not put it into another qualified account, the entire amount is taxable. For those younger than 59 1/2, an IRS 10 percent penalty applies. Some states also assess a penalty. This can be costly to the taxpayer. There are several exceptions in the IRS tax code that remove the 10 percent penalty. Some of the exceptions are using the distributions for a disability, first-time home purchase, an IRS levy or paying higher-education expenses.
Some actions taken cannot be undone and may result in a significant tax liability and penalty. The Internal Revenue Code is complex and it is important to consult a tax professional before making your decision to receive a lump-sum retirement distribution. The tax ramifications are not the only consideration. You could lose a significant portion of your nest egg if you trigger a taxable event and incur penalties.

Professor Joseph (Joe) Frederick Traub
(b.) - ?
An American computer scientist, he is the Edwin Howard Armstrong Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University and External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He has held positions at Bell Laboratories, University of Washington, Carnegie Mellon University, and Columbia, as well as sabbatical positions at Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton, California Institute of Technology, and Technical University, Munich. In 1959 he began his work on optimal iteration theory culminating in his 1964 monograph, which is still in print. Subsequently he pioneered work with Henryk Woźniakowski on computational complexity applied to continuous scientific problems (information-based complexity). He has collaborated in creating significant new algorithms including the Jenkins-Traub Algorithm for Polynomial Zeros, as well as the Kung-Traub, Shaw-Traub, and Brent-Traub algorithms. One of his current research areas is continuous quantum computing. Both his research and institution building work have had a major impact on the field of Computer Science. From 1971 to 1979 he headed the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon and led it from a critical period to eminence. From 1979 to 1989 he was the founding Chair of the Computer Science Department at Columbia. From 1986 to 1992 he served as founding Chair of the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board, National Academies and held the post again 2005-2009. He was founding Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Complexity, in 1985 and continues in that capacity. This was probably the first journal which had complexity in the sense of computational complexity in its title. Starting with two issues and 285 pages in 1985 the Journal now publishes six issues and nearly 1000 pages. He continues as Editor-in-Chief. He attended the Bronx High School of Science where he was captain and first Board of the chess team. After graduating from City College of New York he entered Columbia in 1954 intending to take a PhD in Physics. In 1955, on the advice of a fellow student, he visited the IBM Watson Research Lab at Columbia. At the time, this was one of the few places in the country where a student could gain access to computers. He found his proficiency for algorithmic thinking matched perfectly with computers. In 1957 he became a Watson Fellow through Columbia. His thesis was on Computational Quantum Mechanics. His 1959 Ph.D. was in Applied Mathematics since Computer Science degrees were not yet available. In 1959 he joined the Research Division of Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ. One day a colleague asked him how to compute the solution of a certain problem. He could think of a number of ways to solve the problem. What was the optimal algorithm, that is, a method which would minimize the required computational resources? To his surprise, there was no theory of optimal algorithms since the phrase computational complexity, which is the study of the minimal resources required to solve computational problems, was not introduced until 1965. He had the key insight that the optimal algorithm for solving a continuous problem depended on the available information. This was to eventually lead to the field of Information-Based Complexity. The first area for which he applied his insight was the solution of nonlinear equations. This research led to the 1964 monograph Iterative Methods for the Solution of Equations, which is still in print. In 1966 he spent a sabbatical at Stanford where he met a student named Michael Jenkins. Together they created the Jenkins-Traub Algorithm for Polynomial Zeros. This algorithm is still one of the most widely used methods for this problem and is included in many textbooks. In 1970 he became a Professor at the University of Washington and in 1971 he became Head of the Carnegie Mellon Computer Science Department. The Department was quite small including Gordon Bell, Nico Haberman, Allen Newell, Raj Reddy, Herbert A. Simon, and William Wulf. Just prior to 1971 many faculty had left the Department to take positions elsewhere. Those professors who remained formed a core of world-class scientists recognized as leaders of the discipline. By 1978 the Department had grown to some 50 teaching and research faculty. One of his Ph.D. students was H. T. Kung, now a chaired professor at Harvard. They created the Kung-Traub algorithm for comparing the expansion of an algebraic function. They showed that computing the first N terms was no harder than multiplying two N-th degree polynomials. This problem had been worked on by Isaac Newton who missed a key point. In 1973 he invited Henryk Woźniakowski, now a tenured professor at both Columbia and the University of Warsaw, Poland, to visit CMU. They pioneered the field of information-based complexity, co-authoring three monographs and numerous papers. In 1978, while on sabbatical at Berkeley, he was recruited by Peter Likins to become founding Chairman of the Computer Science Department at Columbia and Edwin Howard Armstrong Professor of Computer Science. He served as chair 1979-1989. In 1980 he co-authored A General Theory of Optimal Algorithms, Academic Press, with Woźniakowski. This was the first research monograph on information-based complexity. Greg Wasilkowski joined him and Woźniakowski in two more monographs Information, Uncertainty, Complexity, Addison-Wesley, 1983, and Information-Based Complexity, Academic Press, 1988. In 1986, he was asked by the National Academies to form a Computer Science Board. The original name of the Board was the Computer Science and Technology Board (CSTB). Several years later CSTB was asked to also be responsible for telecommunications so it was renamed the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board, preserving the abbreviation CSTB. The Board deals with critical national issues in computer science and telecommunications. He served as Founding Chair 1986-1992 and held the post again 2005-2009. In 1990 he taught in the summer school of the Santa Fe Institute(SFI). He has since played a variety of roles at SFI. In the nineties he organized a series of Workshops on Limits to Scientific Knowledge funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The goal was to enrich science in the same way that the work of Gödel and Turing on the limits of mathematics enriched that field. There were a series of Workshops on limits in various disciplines: physics, economics, and geophysics. Currently he is an External Professor at SFI. Starting in 1991 he has been co-organizer of an international Seminar on "Continuous Algorithms and Complexity" at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany. The ninth Seminar was held in September 2006. Many of the Seminar talks are on information-based complexity and more recently on continuous quantum computing. He was invited by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincee in Rome, Italy, to present the 1993 Lezione Lincee. He chose to give the cycle of six lectures at the Scuola Normale in Pisa. He invited Arthur Werschulz to join him in publishing the lectures. The lectures appeared in expanded form in Complexity and Information, Cambridge University Press, 1998. In 1994 he asked a Ph.D. student, Spassimir Paskov, to compare the Monte Carlo method (MC) with the Quasi-Monte Carlo method (QMC) when calculating a collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) he had obtained from Goldman Sachs. This involved the numerical approximation of a number of integrals in 360 dimensions. To the surprise of the research group Paskov reported that QMC always beat MC for this problem. People in finance had always used MC for such problems and the experts in number theory believed QMC should not be used for integrals of dimension greater than 12. He and Paskov reported their results to a number of Wall Street firms to considerable initial skepticism. They first published the results in "Paskov and Traub Faster Evaluation of Financial Derivatives, Journal of Portfolio Management" 22, 1995, 113-120. The theory and software was greatly improved by Anargyros Papageorgiou. Today QMC is widely used in the financial sector to value financial derivatives. QMC is not a panacea for all high dimensional integrals. Research is continuing on the characterization of problems for which QMC is superior to MC. In 1999 he received the Mayor's medal for Science and Technology. Decisions regarding this award are made by the New York Academy of Sciences. The medal was awarded by Mayor Rudy Giuliani in a ceremony in Gracie Mansion, the home of New York City's mayor. Moore's law is an empirical observation that the number of features on a chip doubles roughly every 18 months. This has held since the early 60's and is responsible for the computer and telecommunications revolution. It is widely believed that Moore's law will cease to hold in 10–15 years using silicon technology. There is therefore interest in creating new technologies. One candidate is quantum computing. That is building a computer using the principles of quantum mechanics. He and his colleagues decided to work on continuous quantum computing. The motivation is that most problems in physical science, engineering, and mathematical finance have continuous mathematical models. In 2005 he donated some 100 boxes of archival material to the Carnegie Mellon University Library. This collection is being digitized. The U.S. patents US5940810 and US0605837 were issued to (Traub et al.) for the FinDer Software System and were assigned to Columbia University. These patents cover an application of a well-known technique (low discrepancy sequences) to a well-known problem (valuation of securities). Besides those already mentioned, he is the recipient of numerous honors and distinctions, to including, but not limited to: Member, National Academy of Engineering, 1985; Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Scholar, California Institute of Technology, 1991-2; Distinguished Senior Scientist Award, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, 1992, 1998; Member, Scientific Council, Institut en Recherche en Informatique, Paris, France, 1976–1980; First Prize, Ministry of Education, Poland, for the research monograph "Information-Based Complexity", 1989; 1991 Emanuel R.

Traub, Academic Press, 1993, Elsevier, 2004; and Honorary Doctorate of Science, University of Central Florida, 2001. He is the author or editor of ten monographs and some 120 papers in computer science, mathematics, physics, finance, and economics, including: Iterative Methods for the Solution of Equations, Prentice Hall, 1964.

Miss Universe 2017: South Africa's Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters crowned winner
By TheFIX with AP| 2 years ago
She's a self-defense trainer and recently earned a business degree.
Miss South Africa won the Miss Universe 2017 crown.
Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, who recently earned a business management degree, was crowned during the event at The AXIS theater at Planet Hollywood casino-resort on the Las Vegas Strip. The runner-up was Miss Colombia Laura Gonzalez, while the second runner-up was Miss Jamaica Davina Bennett.
Australia was represented by Adelaide's Olivia Rodgers, but the 25-year-old speech pathologist failed to make it to the top 16.
Ninety-two women from around the world participated in the decades-old competition. This year's edition had the most contestants ever, including the first ever representatives of Cambodia, Laos, and Nepal.

The 22-year-old Nel-Peters has earned a yearlong salary, a luxury apartment in New York City for the duration of her reign, and more prizes.
In addition to her business management ambitions, Nel-Peters is a self-defense trainer -- a skill she developed after being hijacked and held at gunpoint.
Steve Harvey returned as the Miss Universe host despite botching the 2015 Miss Universe crowning when he announced the wrong winner. On Sunday, he poked fun at his mistake throughout the night and told the audience he is "grateful for the Oscars", referring to the best-picture flub at this year's Academy Awards.

Grammy-Award winner Fergie performed her new song 'A Little Work' while the contestants walked down the stage wearing evening gowns. This year's judges included YouTube star Lele Pons, former judge of America's Next Top Model Jay Manuel and Wendy Fitzwilliam, the 1998 Miss Universe winner from Trinidad and Tobago.
President Donald Trump offended Hispanics when he made anti-immigrant remarks in announcing his bid for the White House in 2015. At the time, he co-owned The Miss Universe Organization with NBCUniversal, but the network and the Spanish-language broadcaster Univision quickly cut ties with him, refusing to air the show. Trump sued both networks, eventually settling and selling off the entire pageant to talent management company WME/IMG.
