2014 Emily Rhyne – "Raising Cameron"
These photographs are copyright Emily Rhyne and are used here by permission. They may not be used elsewhere without her permission.
"You can't have a testimony, if you don't have a test," 46-year-old Sarah Gamble says. Ten years ago, Sarah's family was changed forever when her daughter became pregnant during her freshman year of college. From the start, Sarah, better known as "Memaw," took in Cameron Powell, her daughter's child, so that she could finish college. Weeks later, Cameron was diagnosed with Bartter syndrome, a rare kidney disease that UNC hospitals had not seen in over 30 years.
Cameron's round-the-clock needs resulted in him spending his first ten months of life in UNC Hospitals. During this time, precisely at the six-month mark, Cameron had a seizure, which caused an onset of cerebral palsy. "It was scary at first, but very quickly my entire family had a whole new perspective on life," Sarah says. "We had really been looking out of the wrong lens."
For Sarah, Cameron's first year of life was marked by transition across the board. Cameron quickly became her first priority. She quit her job, to be with Cameron, and her previously comfortable lifestyle—a $60,000 a year salary and middle class home—were both soon gone. As the hospital bills piled up, Sarah was forced to move into the Durham projects. Now that Cameron is ten years old, Sarah has been able to return to work full time and move them into their own apartment. Still, Cameron is her first priority.
Cameron's food and medicine are both ingested through a gastronomy tube. He has to wake up at least once during the night to eat, although he often wakes up multiple times. Even after ten years, Sarah says that the lack of sleep is one of the hardest parts.
Cameron takes heavy medications three times a day, with Medicaid making this financially possible. Sarah says their family has been extremely fortunate to avoid the recent cuts made by N.C. Legislation.
"Some days, I think, I can't do this," Sarah says. "This is crazy." The long nights, full-time work, and frequent appointments have taken a toll on Sarah over the past ten years.
To work on his motor development, Cameron attends physical therapy once a week at Abilitations in Raleigh. In January 2013, Cameron had back surgery to correct his scoliosis, which physical therapist Jessica Holmes says set back his progress towards walking a bit.
Eight months ago, Sarah's friend Kelvin Hodges moved in to help with Cameron. Kelvin and Sarah consider each other brother and sister, as they have been friends for over 20 years. "It's alot. People just don't know until you actually witness it and live it," Kelvin says. "I just want him to take that step. I know he can do it." It is possible for Cameron to walk in the future, but the trajectory is uncertain.
Because both Sarah and Kelvin work during the day, Sarah was forced to find a caregiver who could assist them with day-to-day tasks. Brenda Fitzgerald, the new caregiver,prepares Cameron's medications while Sarah starts the bedtime process.
"Cameron's my world and I'm his voice," Sarah says. Cameron will go to grade school until he is 22 years old and then hopefully be able to live on his own. For now, Sarah and Kelvin's lives will continue on, marked by their love and commitment to raising Cameron as they would any other child. Sarah says, "I have nothing to complain about."

Q: Prove any group of order $185$ is cyclic. This is my attempt. I am not sure as for its plausibility.
$Attempt$: Let $G$ be a group of order $185$. Then $G=185=5\cdot 37$. The $Sylow-p$ subgroups are unique and normal and therefore $G$ is nilpotent and so $G=P_1\times P_2$ where $P_1$ is the $Sylow-5$ normal subgroup while $P_2$ is the other. Since $5$ and $37$ are prime then $P_1$ and $P_2$ are cyclic. Is a product of cyclic groups a cyclic group?
By what I know so far, $G$ is either isomorphic to $\Bbb{Z}_5\times \Bbb{Z}_{37}$ or to $\Bbb{Z}_{185}$ but $\Bbb{Z}_5\times \Bbb{Z}_{37}$ is isomorphic to $\Bbb{Z}_{185}$ because $(5,37)=1$ then what does it mean?? I am so confused...

A: As you said the $37$ group is normal, hence
$$G=\mathbb{Z}_{37}\rtimes \mathbb{Z}_5.$$
Now since $|Aut(\mathbb{Z}_{37})|=36$, there are no elements of order $5$ there hence the action is trivial and
$$G=\mathbb{Z}_{37}\times \mathbb{Z}_5.$$
Which is cyclic.

Local Knowledge Project: Folklore and Self-Knowledge. Here are a series of bibliographies, articles and links related to PFP's 2005 project exploring ways that individuals and communities preserve critical and alternative understandings. You can also learn more about the Gerald Davis Memorial Lecture, held February 19, 2005 as part of the Celebration of Black Writing and marking ODUNDE's 30th annniversary. The program was intended to remember and honor the important contributions of this brilliant scholar, who wrote passionately about a wide range of African American folk arts. Folklorist (and Davis' friend) Dr. Kathryn Morgan spoke on the topic of "Self Knowledge." She was joined by storytellers Linda Goss and Thelma Shelton Robinson. Links acquaint you with the work of folklorists and storytellers involved with the project.
For everyone who's ever listened to or loved a story, told a lie, or struggled to find a truth. Come hear what one of today's most insightful folklorists and two of the region's most thoughtful storytellers have to say about how stories tell us who we really are, how they help us to know ourselves and others, how they place us in time and space. Pioneers in their own right, these scholars and artists of the spoken word will share stories and talk about how stories carry cultural and individual self-knowledge. Reading, telling , Q & A and discussion. Followed by a reception. Introduction by Lois Fernandez.
Link to a special downloadable PFP Works in Progress magazine issue (18:1) featured participating artists and scholars.
"I am not confused about who I am. I am not defined by the accident of my gender or my size or my exceedingly good looks. I am defined by any choices I may have made. . . But where I have gotten to is sacrosanct," wrote the late great African American folklorist, writer and filmmaker Gerald L. Davis. Davis found in African American folklore emotionally powerful and aesthetically satisfying tools for the necessary work of self-naming and self-knowing. Join us for an afternoon exploring the work of self-knowledge. . .

Breer: 49ers never made an official offer for Matthew Stafford; Other teams' offers revealed
Thomas J. Russo-USA TODAY Sports
Breer: 49ers never made an official offer for Matthew Stafford; Other teams' offers revealed
Maybe the San Francisco 49ers weren't as "in it" for quarterback Matthew Stafford as everyone assumed. At least, that is what Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported in his latest feature.
Stafford wanted to go to California. After all, his family has a home in Newport Beach, which is about 40 miles south of SoFi Stadium. According to Breer, the Los Angeles Rams were always his preferred destination, following by the 49ers and Indianapolis Colts.
On Saturday night, Stafford got his wish. The Detroit Lions traded the quarterback to the Rams in exchange for two future first-round picks, a third-rounder, and Jared Goff. It seemed like a haul for the soon-to-be-33-year-old quarterback. But at least part of the offer was reportedly to entice the Lions to take on Goff's salary. The result was an offer that was tough to beat. Los Angeles clearly was all-in on Stafford and eager to ship Goff and his massive contract out of Southern California.
So how far did talks between the 49ers and Lions get? Not far at all, it seems. Breer reports that the two sides had some discussions in Mobile, Alabama, leading to the Senior Bowl, but that's all they were — talks. Nothing was on the verge of becoming official, despite what the Twitter rumors and speculation had everyone believing.
San Francisco planned to continue discussions with Detroit after the weekend, but then things heated up on Saturday, and the Lions reached out to gauge the 49ers' interest.
"My sense is the 12th pick was never going to be offered," wrote Breer, which matches what we heard all last week — that the 49ers were doing everything they could to keep the No. 12 overall pick out of play. Of course, that always came with the caveat that things could change quickly.
When Detroit reached out, things had clearly escalated beyond what the 49ers were comfortable with, and the team had no issue moving on from Stafford and moving forward with Jimmy Garoppolo.
Breer also broke down what other teams were offering to the Lions for Stafford.
The Carolina Panthers offered the No. 8 overall pick in this year's draft plus a later pick.
The Washington Football Team was offering the No. 19 overall pick with a third-round pick.
The Colts never offered their first-rounder but did discuss packages of picks and a player.
The Denver Broncos discussed a pick swap with the Lions that would have equated to a late first-round pick. That didn't go anywhere.
The New England Patriots discussed packaging a second-round pick with a player but weren't on Stafford's list of preferred destinations.
Talks with the Chicago Bears and New York Jets didn't get far.

The work by Idris T. Adebayo and prof. O. K. Matar is in front cover of Soft Matter Journal.
Abstract: The impact process of droplets falling obliquely on thin flowing films is studied using a high-speed imaging system with a focus on splashing. Frequency-forcing of the flow rate at the inlet is applied in order to form solitary waves prior to droplet impact. The outcomes associated with impact on targeted regions of the waves are examined; these include the capillary wave region preceding the large wave peak, the flat film region, and the wave hump region. The effect of varying the film flow rate, droplet size, and speed on the splashing regime for each of these regions is elucidated. The results are further compared with those associated with uncontrolled flowing films, and with quiescent films. The present work has demonstrated, for the first time, the contribution made by the spatial structure of waves to the outcome of droplet impact on flowing films.


(Reuters) – An initial public offering by Lyft Inc, the second largest U.S. ride services firm, could benefit a broad and diverse group of investors, from Chinese tech giants Alibaba (BABA.N) and Tencent (0700.HK) to a member of the Saudi royal family.
U.S. automaker General Motors Co (GM.N) is one likely beneficiary.
Ford Motor Co (F.N) Executive Chairman Bill Ford, whose company on Wednesday announced a partnership with Lyft, holds a financial stake though his private venture capital firm Fontinalis Partners.
Other high-profile investors include Carl Icahn, Henry Kravis and Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, whose Kingdom Holding Co 4280.SE has stakes in Apple, Citigroup, Walt Disney and PepsiCo.
Edinburgh-based investment bank Baillie Gifford, a significant shareholder in Tesla Inc (TSLA.O), also has a stake in Lyft as well as in Indian ride services company Ola.
Alibaba and Tencent are both investors in China's largest ride services startup, Didi Chuxing, which in turn is an investor in Lyft and Ola, as well as in Uber Technologies [UBER.UL], the largest U.S. ride services startup.

Halo 4 Senior Art Director steps down
According to IGN, Halo 4's senior art director Kenneth Scott, has stepped down at 343 Industries, despite having been involved with the development of the next Halo game on Xbox One.
"In order to be with his family, Kenneth Scott and 343 Industries have agreed to transition his current role," a Microsoft rep told IGN.
Microsoft revealed to the outlet that Nicolas Bouvier (no relation to Marge Bouvier), will step in as Scott's replacement. It seems however that Scott will continue to work with the developer remotely as Visual Design Consultant.
Halo for Xbox One by the way, is still on track for a release later this year.


A test of how sticky a protein molecule is could help diagnose the early stages of Parkinson's disease, a study from the University of Edinburgh suggests. Scientists said early work on a small number of samples proved very accurate. Sticky clumps of the molecule are found in the brain cells of people with Parkinson's - and in those of some dementia sufferers.
British researchers are hoping to shed new light on the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease, with the help of hundreds of volunteers.
In order to bring in standardisation across all of our branches and to ensure everyone wears the same uniform we are launching a new Routes Healthcare uniform for all of our Field Workers.
Hundreds of people in the UK have received an organ transplant from someone with a history of cancer, despite many believing you cannot donate if you have had the disease.

This powerful true story of a very special voyage provides stunning evidence of how truly thin the veil that separates us from those who have passed can be. Through indisputable accounts of connection with their children and the personal transformations that result, these couples' stories offer comfort and reassurance to those seeking relief from grief and pain. You will come to know, as these parents do, that death is no more than a doorway to life beyond, a life that continues to intersect with ours on a daily basis.
Your loved ones are not gone. They are not lost. They are still right here.


One difficult aspect of two people creating a life together is that each person comes from a different cultural background whether it is language, beliefs, religion or ethnicity and these attitudes can clash.
Putting together two people who come from different countries with different backgrounds certainly makes for one interesting journey and process.
To have a smooth and enjoyable trip, check out some of our tips for traveling as a couple.
I've observed and learned a few things about cultural differences in relationships, especially in the last year since I moved to Costa Rica and began life as an expat which came with culture shock. So how exactly do cultural differences affect an intimate relationship?
It all depends on the culture both people grew up in.
Yeison and I come from two incredibly different backgrounds. He was born and lived his whole life in Costa Rica to a Korean father and a Costa Rican mother. His father, who was a fisherman took him on expeditions and fishing trips when he was young so he spent the majority of his childhood on a boat sailing around the world.
His roots are embedded in Costa Rica more than Korea though, he grew up in a Costa Rican household with Costa Rican cultures and traditions.
I on the other hand, born to Taiwanese parents, grew up in the states mostly in Washington. Having spent part of my baby years in Taiwan, I don't remember too much of it and only went back there when I was 18.
As an Asian-American, my life was in the states and I grew accustomed to the many interesting American norms but I stood proudly and firmly to my Taiwanese roots.
So how do two people with diverse stories come together?
Let me tell you firsthand that it is not easy, many of our disagreements stemmed from huge cultural differences – what we were used to growing up, what we were taught by our parents and what is normal pertaining to the country.
Sometimes I just shrugged it off and made excuses for it. "He's being such a guy" "But every girl says this!" But I realized I couldn't keep denying it. When it came down to it, it was our cultural differences creating these arguments.
One of the biggest cultural differences between Yeison and I is our attitude about life. Ever since I was a kid, I studied for hours a day and was used to a busy life whether it was doing extra math exercises, practicing piano and violin or going to Chinese school.
I went to college in a big city and being busy all the time has given me a go go go stressful mindset. I'm not the most flexible person, I like to have a schedule, a plan and make lists and unfortunately, I worry a lot!
Yeison on the other hand has a very Pura Vida attitude about life. Take it slow, relax, don't worry. Costa Ricans hardly stress or get worried too much. So when it came to planning, that is where we butted heads the most.
But after living in Costa Rica for awhile, I've calmed down my uptight mind and stopped worrying so much. Well I still do… just not quite as much and he's learned how to be better at planning.
Anyone who has been to Costa Rica will notice that Ticos are very warm and loving people. They kiss each other on the cheeks to say hello, coo words of love and support, and express their affection by poking fun.
In the states we hug and shake hands to greet and meet new people so I have that part in me, but the Asian culture is not quite as warm. They don't kiss or hug each other and express love very differently.
Expressions of love is such a huge part of a relationship that if someone doesn't receive or give love the way the other one recognizes, it can cause some major problems.
I had to reach outside my comfort zone and get used to the cheek kissing and being made fun of. Yeison has learned to dial back some of the jokes and we haven't had any more problems with expressions of love.
And the biggest cultural difference between us is the language.
Yeison has great English, since he's been speaking it for over ten years but there are some idiomatic phrases that he's not used to. I have only started learning Spanish on my own so it's not as great as I would like it to be.
We speak English to each other but sometimes I use slang or sayings that he doesn't understand. Therefore, our communication gets jumbled at times because of the connotation of the words.
My goal is to become at least semi-fluent in Spanish one day and I've slowly been picking up some Tico slang but most of the time, estoy meando fuera del tarro.
I'm more patient when he doesn't understand something as it is only fair – English isn't his first language. I take my time to explain what I really mean and correct him when he says something wrong in English.
He exposes me to new Spanish terms and words everyday and I ask him whenever he says something I don't understand. Without language, there is no way to communicate (body language only goes so far) and it's so advantageous to know more than one language. You can't mime everything you want to say!
So, just like any other relationships, we both embraced the chance to learn from one another and grow together. It is not an easy task and both people need to be in it 100% or those differences might be enough to push you apart, no matter how much love is present.
We're not relationship experts but I think we've learned a few things here and there and luckily, we are the type of people who enjoy learning new things and are always wanting to improve ourselves so we took these differences in stride.
Sometimes they popped up out of nowhere (talk about a smack in the face!) and it didn't make sense at all. But eventually we understood that it's more about recognizing and adjusting your behavior to handle the differences.
I know that who we are as a person, down to our very core will not change but I don't want us to. To this day we are still learning about each other and having fun in the process!
When Samantha came with this subject, I thought that it will be very interesting to write my point of view. Every couple has differences even if they are from the same city. When you put two human beings together you will find differences. We are humans with a very complicated shape of life.
I grew up in Costa Rica and here you can find every kind of people, from spoiled to really relaxed people. But in my particular case some events in my life changed my way of seeing things.
When I was 20 I started to have panic attacks, the worst feeling you can ever have. I stopped having the attacks 5 years ago. It was a long process but I came back to be the same happy and adventurous guy.
Everything is possible if you work at it. The main problem that I find between us is that she is coming from a different society where people compete with each other to get into school, social groups or different activities.
Also on the top of that she is a little uptight about stuff. I am much more relaxed about things and I have to help calm her stressed out mind.
Another difference is that she grew up in the States being an Asian person around white people where race is important and I was born in Costa Rica where people don't care too much your ethnicity.
We humans are difficult to get along with and if someone says that they've never had a problem with another person is lying.
The key of being successful in a relationship is being patient and respecting the other person. The most important thing in a relationship is to have quality time. Having a relationship is always a hard work but it is worth it at the end !
What kinds of cultural differences are in your relationship? Share your experiences in the comments below!
Anyway French Canadian culture and South Dakota culture are very different. I miss my large and loud family. And my favorite food. But we work at it and we've been together 20 years in August. That is one of the reasons we are going to Costa Rica!
Long live to your love and continue to have fun.
Hi Anne, thanks for sharing your story and reading our blog! We hope you have a wonderful time in Costa Rica!
This was such a nice article. 🙂 It always makes me smile a little bit to read stories like this – even more because I'm experiencing it right now myself as well. I grew up in a moody country, in Hungary where the people are afraid of most of the new things and always like to keep only "to their own kind". Also my family is a bit complicated in a way.
And there came my now boyfriend from Mexico, bringing his full-of-life and happy, family-comes-always-first and positive attitude. You could say we perfectly complete each other. I help him learn English and even tough I gave some lessons to other people before, I never was as patient with them as I am with him. Also I'm trying very hard to learn Spanish for him.
There will always be differences, but I think you just have to respect your partner's culture and understand why he or she does the things the way he/she does. That's what love makes you do after all, doesn't it? 🙂 And you can even learn from it.
Ha, laughed at his "I love you face". Good post, all very true.
Spanky is Latina, I'm a whitey – but she grew up in New York, has a professional job, and there are no differences in our attitudes. We're pretty much the same. But I see people – including the mixed race couples here in Thailand (or, as I referred to them in a post I just did; 'Old Farts, Young tarts") and I wonder how they can last between language, cultural, PLUS age differences. Its no surprise that most DON'T last.
Haha I love that – old farts, young tarts. Yeah I've seen some very interesting couples in Asia so far but hey if it works for them and they're happy I guess more power to them! I just imagine it'd be hard to find things in common or be able to relate when you have that many differences especially with a big age difference!
I enjoyed your story. Thanks.

When you're injured at work in New York, people often ask what they should do immediately following the accident. There are several basic things you should do to protect your rights under New York State Workers' Compensation Law.
Report the accident to your supervisor/employer as soon as is possible. Under NYS law you have 30 days to give your employer notice of the accident. Report the injury to your supervisor and be clear about how it happened and that it happened at work.
Follow up with your employer to ensure they have prepared an accident report. If a report is not being prepared, you should write a letter stating the circumstance of the accident for your Supervisor. If you can, send your letter by email or have your supervisor sign a note that acknowledges receipt. A paper trail is always helpful.
When you receive a copy of the accident report, or any paperwork from your employer or its insurance carrier, be sure to make copies for yourself. Keeping your own file is always helpful in the long run. You should bring that file with you to hearings to show your attorney and the judge, if needed.
If you are a member of a union, you should tell your shop steward of the injury as well. Be sure that you report to the shop steward who you gave notice to, when you gave it, and ask what your union policy is on Workers' Compensation injuries.
Keep a log of<!–more–> all significant contacts you make along the way. Note your doctor visits, conversations in adjusters, and any documents received.
If you are out of work because of your injury, you need to see your doctor every 45-90 days (depending on your injury). The reports that your doctor submits to the NYS Workers' Compensation Board is the evidence required to support your continuing disability. Without those reports your treatment may be obstructed and any indemnity payments you're receiving may be stopped.
If your doctor says you can return to work in a lighter capacity, be sure to get a letter that lays out what physical restrictions you have. You should keep a copy for yourself and provide copies to your employer.
Do not be afraid to follow up with your doctors to get copies of the medical reports they are submitting to the Board. Up to date medical evidence is an essential component of a workers' compensation claim. You do not want to leave your fate to the efficiency and prowess of others to prepare, scan, and upload documents to State computer programs.
If your doctor tells you that treatment has been denied, discuss the need for treatment with your doctor and ask if he/she needs you to sign a "variance" request to affirm you would like to bring the issue to the Board.
Sometimes the "smell test" is most applicable. If something doesn't smell right don't be afraid to consult your attorney (or retain one if you haven't already). There are a number of moving parts in these cases — doctors, adjusters, independent medical consultants, physical therapists, judges, your lawyers, insurance company lawyers — that asking questions and doing your best to get a firm grasps on the status of your claim is only going to help you as you recover from your injury.

Today we have a guest post from our colleague Todd Bennett of Nebraska.
Your employer is required by law to have workers' compensation insurance for you.
Every employer not in agriculture, farm or ranch operations is required to obtain and maintain workers' compensation coverage for all employees. Those employers who voluntarily and willfully fail to obtain and maintain coverage violate the law and subject themselves to significant risks.
If you are an employee who is injured in the course of your employment and you learn that your employer has not maintained workers' compensation coverage for you, you can either file a claim against the employer in civil court or file a claim in the Workers' Compensation Court.

What Happens If My Spouse Dies From A Work Accident Or Occupational Disease?
Today we have a guest post from our colleague Brody Ockander of Nebraska.
If a worker dies from a work accident or occupational disease, his surviving family members are entitled to death benefits under Nebraska workers' compensation.
However, proving the death was work-related is sometimes complicated in situations where there is not a clear accident. For example, there are no death benefits for a worker who dies at work from natural causes simply because he died at work. Instead, it must be shown that work or something that happened at work somehow played a role in the death.
If your spouse dies due to a work-related injury or illness, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits.
If it can be established that work caused the death, the worker's surviving spouse is entitled to workers' compensation benefits every week at 2/3 of the worker's average weekly wage at the time of death. This potentially lasts for the spouse's life or until remarriage. If the spouse later remarries, then he/she is entitled to a lump sum payment for two years of benefits.
If the deceased worker had dependent children and a spouse at the time of death, the surviving spouse is entitled to 60% of the worker's average weekly wage plus 15% for each child. If the children don't live with the surviving spouse, the spouse is entitled to 55% of the average weekly wage.
If the worker is survived by dependent children, work comp benefits are paid to those children (in equal share) for their dependency or until age 19 (or age 25 if full-time student or the child is physically or mentally incapable of self-support).
There may also be benefits available for parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and grandchildren if it can be shown that they were dependents of the deceased worker. If dependency can be established, these types of dependents would be entitled to 25%.
The employer is responsible for funeral and burial expenses up to $6,000 whether or not the deceased worker had a spouse or any dependents. This was recently raised to $10,000 by the Nebraska Legislature in 2012.

Workers' Compensation will only cover you for the specific job on which you got hurt.
Wisconsin pays worker's compensation benefits based only on the job on which an employee works, even if the employee's injury makes it impossible for him to work in his regular job. In these difficult economic times, many workers are forced to take a second part time job to supplement their incomes. Unfortunately if the worker is hurt at the part time job, only the wages earned from the part time job will be used to calculate worker's compensation benefits, even if an injury on the part time job means the worker will not be able to return to his full time job.

Up, up and away?

It may not have quite the same resonance as William Goldman's infamous line about the movie business—"nobody knows anything"—but Carolyn Reidy's comment, made at a recent Book Industry Study Group meeting held in New York, that "the more we know, the more we have to learn" is an excellent reminder that, as the redoubtable chief executive of Simon & Schuster Inc also noted, publishing has its own "peculiar logic".
The relative trajectories of the print and e-book markets form one such area of murk and contradiction. As The Bookseller's Lead Story shows, there is a belief (and relief) now among some booksellers that the e-book "threat" is over. I have heard similar talk from senior buyers at supermarkets, who tell me that they have seen e-reader buyers switching back to print books. According to the Kantar World Panel, which polls consumers, fewer individuals are now buying e-books this year, when compared to 2014. Waterstones m.d. James Daunt believes e-book sales have reached their natural level; independent bookseller Ron Johns says that the market has "evaporated". The New York Times this week ran a piece titled: "The Plot Twist: E-Book Sales Slip, and Print is Far from Dead." And e-book subscription company Oyster announced it intended to "sunset" its business, with its executives decamping to Google.
Five years ago, the e-book was set fare to crush everything before it. The narrative has now reversed itself. Yet if I felt troubled by the earlier view, the new talk worries me even more. Reidy's rejoinder is key: we do not know enough to be so definitive in our analysis, and what we do know does not tell one story.
There are numerous factors affecting the e-book market, most of which won't fit neatly into a headline, and some of which will impact different parts of the business at different times. The shift to agency pricing (in some cases, publishers have priced their e-books higher than the price Amazon charges for the print versions); the rise in sales of indie-authored, low-priced e-books; device fatigue and a slow renewals cycle; a lack of good competition to Amazon; adoption rates decreasing; reading time diminishing; and output reaching saturation point. By contrast, colouring-in, a strong fiction release programme, and a more confident high street are making print bob-up with the Nielsen TCM rising 4.6% in 2015.
The relief felt by booksellers is understandable: they have been unable to enjoy the e-book bounty banked by publishers and consultants. But digital is now as big a part of this industry as print—and for some authors and publishers it is the only business they are in. If two distinct markets are now developing, we would do well to acknowledge that both are important, and important to each other. This we know.

At Witte van Moort, we are passionate about our customers? success. We are only satisfied when our customers are. With our rich heritage, started in a little shed in the 1950s, we have developed ourselves into a top international producer of high-quality sheet metal products.We were one of the first Dutch companies to invest in the specialised technique of deep drawing metal and the laser cutting and welding of deep-drawn products. In our early years, we made parts for mopeds and gas stoves. Now we manufacture components for forklifts, and machines for use in construction, agriculture, and medicine. Anything is possible at Witte Van Moort.
The original Witte van Moort, later the founder of the family business, was born on 24 September 1910 in the village of St. Annaland in the Dutch province of Zeeland. His exceptional entrepreneurial talent was already apparent when he was still a young boy. Before he was even ten years old, Witte started up his first little business in his granddad's shed. Aged eighteen, he left Zeeland and found his first job as a car mechanic at the other side of the country, in the region Twente. In 1937, Witte married his childhood sweetheart Frida and a couple of years later his son Adriaan was born, on 24 May 1939.
As a family business, we at Witte van Moort consider it essential to take good care of our nearest and dearest, and of future generations. With that in mind, we attach a great deal of importance to having a responsible and sustainable environmental policy. The foundation of that policy is the Witte van Moort environmental care system, which has been certified and thus complies with the ISO 14001 standard. This approach has been developed in close consultation with the various authorities and with a customised environmental permit.

There are lots of reasons as to why we waited to honour Ivy's life with some form of celebration but having recently been informed that Ivy's next surgery will most likely happen in summer 2016, it felt like the right time to start putting plans into motion and have finally booked a christening!
As a very keen crafter, I couldn't wait to get pinning ideas for the big day and it didn't take long to draw together an image of how I was going to do things. With a limited guestlist, I thought it was realistic enough that I'd be able to handmake everything myself if I got going straight away and after a trip to Berylune (the best shop ever) I was armed with all the card, felt, tickets and washi tape so was ready to go.
Washi tape is my crafty saviour and has a huge part to play in the main inviations so I thought I'd include it as a little taster with some Save The Dates. With busy friends and family, I wanted to get in there quickly - especially with the Christening being on Valentines - and these little cards were just another excuse to add that homemade touch to the whole affair, let alone being cheaper and more personal.

The Game Awards Future Class of 2022 Honors Blizzard Entertainment Developers
Blizzard 由 Archimtiros 发表于 2022/12/07,07:00
The Game Awards is celebrating the Future Class of 2022! Each year, they select 50 inspiring individuals who represent the bright, bold, and inclusive future of video games to create a space where up-and-coming, like-minded people in the games industry could connect, grow, and celebrate their achievements together. With roles ranging from game developers to founders to artists and more, this year's lineup includes two Blizzard Entertainment developers: Overwatch Narrative Designer Joshi Zhang and Diablo Producer Noelle Mazurek!
Joshi Zhang - Overwatch Narrative Designer
Joshi is a Chinese-Canadian narrative designer currently working on Overwatch 2 at Blizzard Entertainment. During her time in the games industry, she has taken on different projects highlighting the nuanced experiences of various minority groups. She believes that in order to properly represent diverse voices, it is important not only to research and self-educate, but to give the platform to marginalized voices so that they can speak for themselves. Joshi believes that sharing experiences through play is one of the best ways to foster empathy and understanding. She hopes that with more diverse voices entering the industry, people from all walks of life will see themselves, their communities, and their stories represented in games to be celebrated by all.
Noelle Mazurek - Diablo Producer
Noelle Mazurek (she/her) is an Associate Game Producer at Blizzard Entertainment, where she manages the character art & tech art teams on Diablo IV. Recognized as a "Next Gen Leader" by the IGDA Foundation, she uses her unique background in game development, VR/AR, and the "serious games" subgenre to empower marginalized developers and advocate for a more inclusive industry. Prior to game production at Blizzard, Noelle was the Production Manager at non-profit Games for Change, where she led DE&I programs, managed international game jams, and built workflows for more inclusive and accessible events at the organization. At G4C, she did everything from teaching middle-school students how to make games in VR/AR, to curating a "games for good" exhibit at the Smithsonian. Noelle's motto is that "this industry is a better place when we all are winning," and hopes for a future where everyone has a seat at the table. Now that she has transitioned to AAA development, Noelle pays it forward by providing mentorship to students and early-career developers. Noelle received her BFA from the NYU Game Center, where she earned additional recognition and scholarships for her academic achievement. She is currently based in New York.

#193. FN F2000
The FN F2000 is a 5.56×45mm NATO bullpup assault rifle, designed by FN Herstal in Belgium. The F2000 is a modular weapon system; its principal component is a compact 5.56×45mm NATO-caliber assault rifle configured in a bullpup layout. The F2000 is a selective fire weapon operating from a closed bolt.
The rifle consists of two main assemblies: the barreled receiver group and the frame, coupled together by means of an axis pin located above the trigger guard. The barrel group has an integral MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail used to mount optical sights. The frame or lower receiver contains the trigger group, the bolt and bolt carrier assembly, return mechanism and magazine well. A removable handguard is installed in front of the trigger which completes and encloses the trigger guard.

#195. Smith & Wesson 4006
The 5906 is a full-sized, double/single-action, staggered-column magazine, 9×19mm pistol. Its construction is all stainless steel. The 5906 is equipped with a magazine disconnect feature which is designed to deactivate the trigger if the magazine is not fully inserted. The pistol comes standard with either a 10- or 15-round magazine. Other features include ambidextrous safety levers, a one-piece rear wraparound grip, and a choice of either fixed sights or a rear sight fully adjustable for windage and elevation. A popular model with law enforcement and military units in the United States, the 5906 is nevertheless being replaced by lighter, polymer-framed models from Glock, Heckler & Koch, SIG Sauer as well as Smith & Wesson's own M&P line of polymer framed handguns in both 9mm and .40 calibers

#196. Henry Lever Action Rifle. Planned release: February 2018
The Henry repeating rifle is a lever-action, breech-loading, tubular magazine rifle famed both for its use at the Battle of the Little Bighorn and being the basis for the iconic Winchester rifle of the American Wild West.
Designed by Benjamin Tyler Henry in 1860, the Henry was introduced in the early 1860s and produced through 1866 in the United States by the New Haven Arms Company. It was adopted in small quantities by the Union in the Civil War, favored for its greater firepower than the standard issue carbine. Many later found their way West, notably in the hands of the Sioux and Cheyenne in their obliteration of Custer's U.S. Cavalry troops in June 1876.

#197. Remington Model 1858 Carbine
The Remington-Beals Model Revolvers along with subsequent models and variations were percussion revolvers manufactured by Eliphalet Remington & Sons in .31 (Pocket) .36 (Navy) or .44 (Army) caliber, used during the American Civil War, and was the beginning of a successful line of medium and large frame pistols. It is commonly, though inaccurately, referred to as the Model 1858 due to the patent markings on its cylinder, "PATENTED SEPT. 14, 1858/E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, NEW YORK, U.S.A./NEW MODEL."; although wide scale production did not start until 1861.
The Remington revolver was a secondary, supplemental issue firearm for the Union Army until the Colt factory fire of 1864. Due to the fire the Colt 1860 Army was not available for some time, subsequently large numbers of the Remington revolver were ordered by the U.S. government. It was more expensive, by "50 cents" (a difference of more than US$12 in 2013 dollars), than the Colt, but those who could afford it remarked on its durability.

#199. M249 SAW
The M249 light machine gun (LMG), formerly designated the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), and formally written as Light Machine Gun, 5.56 mm, or the .223 military rnd. The M249, is the American adaptation of the Belgian FN Minimi, a light machine gun manufactured by the Belgian company FN Herstal (FN). The M249 is manufactured in the United States by the local subsidiary FN Manufacturing LLC in South Carolina and is widely used in the U.S. Armed Forces. The weapon was introduced in 1984 after being judged the most effective of a number of candidate weapons to address the lack of automatic firepower in small units. The M249 provides infantry squads with the high rate of fire of a machine gun combined with accuracy and portability approaching that of a rifle.

#201. Heckler & Koch P7
The P7 is a semi-automatic blowback-operated firearm. It features a unique gas-delayed blowback locking system modeled on the Swiss Pistole 47 W+F (Waffenfabrik Bern) prototype pistol (and ultimately on the Barnitzke system first used in the Volkssturmgewehr 1-5), which used gas pressures from the ignited cartridge and fed them through a small port in the barrel (in front of the chamber) to retard the rearward motion of the slide. This is accomplished by means of a piston contained inside a cylinder located under the barrel that opposes the rearward motion of the slide until the gas pressure has declined—after the bullet has left the barrel—hence allowing the slide to end its rearward motion, opening the breech and ejecting the empty cartridge case.

#202. Chauchat 1915 LMG
The Chauchat, named after Colonel Louis Chauchat, the main contributor to its design, was the standard machine rifle or light machine gun of the French Army during World War I (1914–18). Its official designation was "Fusil Mitrailleur Modele 1915 CSRG" (in English: "Machine Rifle Model 1915 CSRG"). Beginning in June 1916, it was placed into regular service with French infantry, where the troops called it the FM Chauchat.

Track Premiere: Bad Looks – 'Algorithm & Blues'
Bad Looks just announced a new song, "Algorithm & Blues," out November 15 on their new album, EP II.
EP II by Bad Looks
"The trash fire of the last few years has been a result and the climax of the social media hole we've been digging for ourselves since Facebook left colleges and headed for the suburbs," the band says. "All of these feelings of insecurity about the state of the world and our fear of missing out on less-dark timelines have been exacerbated by Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and Snapchat rewiring our fucking brains to be more insecure and have more of a fear of missing out, and that's just when they're not updating their algorithms to keep us more and more isolated in our own little thought and news bubbles. This song ignores the political aspect and focuses on the narcissism at the heart of our obsession with liking and following. The lyrics are a dialogue between a consumer and creator of content and how the relationship dynamic shifts and eventually deteriorates when one realizes they don't need the other to add meaning to their life."
Bad Looks was founded in Los Angeles, CA in 2017 by vocalist/guitarist Alessandro Pulisci (At Our Heels) and drummer Denny Connolly, and was shortly thereafter cemented with the addition of bassist/vocalist Lafayette Kartchner. The trio released their first self-titled EP in 2018. More recently, Bad Looks contributed a track from this debut EP to the soundtrack of 2019 horror film, Bliss, which also features the likes of Doomriders and Electric Wizard, among others.
EP II was recorded and mixed by Michael Craver at Palmquist Studios and mastered by Bill Henderson (who has also worked with bands like Hollow Earth, Misery Signals, and New Found Glory) at Azimuth Mastering. The album will be released digitally on November 15th. Preorder the album here.
At its core, EP II focuses on themes of post-modern existential dread and social media's influence on culture, and musically sees the band expanding their horizons into more melodic and simultaneously ferocious territory.

Q: Proving standard properties of sine and cosine defined by their power series Definition: We define $\displaystyle \sin x = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{\left ( 2n+1 \right )!}, \; x \in \mathbb{R} $ and $ \displaystyle \cos x = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{\left ( 2n \right )!}, \; x \in \mathbb{R}$.
Well I want to prove using these definitions that:

*

*$\displaystyle \sin^2 x+\cos^2 x =1  $

*$\displaystyle \left ( \sin x \right )'=\cos x, \; (\cos x)' =-\sin x$

I was able to prove most of the properties that these functions have using these definitions but not those two.
For the first one I started as follows:
$$\begin{aligned}
\sin^2 x +\cos^2 x &=\left ( \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{\left ( 2n+1 \right )!} \right )^2+\left (  \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{\left ( 2n \right )!} \right )^2 \\
 &= \sum_{m=0}^{\infty}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{\left ( -1 \right )^{m}x^{2m+1}}{\left ( 2m+1 \right )!}\frac{\left ( -1 \right )^{n}x^{2n+1}}{\left ( 2n+1 \right )!}+ \sum_{m=0}^{\infty}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{\left ( -1 \right )^m x^{2m}}{\left ( 2m \right )!}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{\left ( 2n \right )!}
\end{aligned}$$
then I don't know how to proceed .
As for the second one despite I differentiated the series , I cannot get the series of cosine and vice versa the minus series of sine.

I also have another question regarding the definitions.
The classic definition of the trigonometric functions involves the unit circle. Suppose we define $\sin x, \; \cos x$ as above. Are these two definitions equivelant? Similary if we define $\displaystyle \sin x = \frac{e^{ix}-e^{-ix}}{2i}, \; \cos x =\frac{e^{ix}+e^{-ix}}{2}$ are these three definitions equivelant?

A: Justify that you can differentiate the series term by term and find, for all $x\in \mathbb R$, $$\sin'(x)=\sum \limits_{n=0}^\infty\left(\dfrac{(-1)^nx^{2n}}{(2n)!}\right)=\cos(x).$$
The first equality is straightforward, I can't imagine what you're missing. Let me know if you need it and I'll try to clarify.
Similarly $\cos'=-\sin$.
To prove that $\forall x\left((\sin(x))^2+(\cos(x))^2=1\right)$, consider the function $x\mapsto (\sin(x))^2+(\cos(x))^2$, differentiate, etc, etc.
"The classic definition of the trigonometric functions involves the unit circle. Suppose we define $\sin x, \; \cos x$ as above. Are these two definitions equivalent?"
Yes, if one accepts the geometric definitions as something meaningful, then they are equivalent.
"Similary if we define $\displaystyle \sin x = \frac{e^{ix}-e^{-ix}}{2i}, \; \cos x =\frac{e^{ix}+e^{-ix}}{2}$ are these three definitions equivalent?"
Note that $$e^{ix}+e^{-ix}=\sum \limits_{n=0}^\infty\left(\dfrac{i^nx^n}{n!}\right)+\sum \limits_{n=0}^\infty\left(\dfrac{(-1)^ni^nx^n}{n!}\right).$$
Now consider the cases $n\equiv k\pmod 4$ with $k\in \{0,1,2,3\}$.
It's not hard to see that some stuff will cancel (the imaginary parts, that is, when $n\equiv \pm 1\pmod 4 $) and others will add up (double up actually) and the definition of $\cos$ given at the top of the question appears.
Hence they are all equivalent.


The following sentence is from New Hello, Third Secondary, Egypt.
My parents ….. have a mobile phone.
The model answer is both, but I wonder if 'each' is also a possible answer. However, is it necessary to use commas if 'each' is another possible answer, i.e My parents, each, have a mobile phone?
Thanks for anyone who can help me out!

When the vacuum fuel tank of your auto fails on the road, it is possible to get up enough pressure temporarily to feed the fuel by blowing in the main fuel line. By repeating this process every quarter of a mile enough fuel will be fed to get the car to a garage where repairs can be made.

You'll be surprised how much you need us.

Appian Acquires Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Company
TYSONS, Va.— Appian (NASDAQ: APPN) today announced the acquisition of Novayre Solutions SL, developer of the Jidoka RPA platform. Jidoka is currently the highest-rated RPA software on Gartner Peer Insights (>50 reviews). The acquisition makes Appian a one-stop shop for Automation, with best-in-class solutions for workflow, AI, and RPA.
According to Forrester, the RPA market is expected to reach $12 billion by 2023, but many organizations are still in the early stages of their RPA journey.* Companies have experimented with RPA by implementing robots from multiple vendors, resulting in a fragmented technology landscape. Robots are often deployed in silos without effective human oversight, creating management challenges. CIO concerns about robot security and governance have also limited the growth of RPA for larger-scale use cases.
Appian's acquisition addresses these challenges. Appian customers will benefit from:
One-stop shop for Automation. Appian will unify low-code development and RPA in one comprehensive automation platform, enabling the orchestration of all three agents of modern work — humans, bots, and artificial intelligence. Appian's top-rated case management capabilities are included, so if robots create errors or exceptions, humans are involved in-the-loop to quickly make corrections.
Governed robotic workforce. Appian will deliver RPA governance for the enterprise. Organizations will be able to manage robotic workforces from major RPA vendors, including Blue Prism and UIPath. The business interfaces for managing robots — including monitoring, scheduling, and reporting — are available on both the web and mobile devices. The service will deliver powerful analytics and reporting, ranging from impact analysis to compliance.
Enterprise-grade RPA. RPA from Appian will be cloud RPA and Java RPA. The new service will be available globally on the Appian cloud. Bot developers can leverage a powerful Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which enables them to build sophisticated robots. They will also be able to incorporate powerful AI, powered by Google, that extends robot use cases and facilitates bot management. Enterprise-grade security, featuring SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance certifications, will be built in.
Appian is a public, NASDAQ-listed company, and is the only leader in both the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms and for Intelligent Business Process Management Suites (iBPMS). Appian is committed to delivering an open platform and will continue to work with and integrate to major RPA vendors, giving customers flexibility and freedom of choice in RPA.
"Appian is extending our lead in low-code automation by adding RPA," said Matt Calkins, CEO, Appian. "Together, the products enable end-to-end process orchestration where humans, software robots, and AI all work together in a coordinated way."
"Our shared vision for automation makes this a natural fit for Novayre. By joining forces with Appian, we will make it easier for companies to adopt and deploy RPA at enterprise scale," said Víctor Ayllón, CEO of Novayre.
Financial terms are not being disclosed.

The main symptom is feeling tired during the day and usually everyday, feeling exhausted.
Some people snore but do not have sleep apnea this is because the snoring does not affect their sleep quality.
With sleep apnea, the sleep quality is very poor and usually leads to feeling tired during the day, no matter how much sleep they have. Not all sleep apnea patients actually snore.
Your partner will suffer and loose sleep from either the loudness of the snoring or the constant gasping for breathe throughout the night.
This is not a one off feeling tired it is feeling tired all day and everyday and no matter how much sleep you get you always feel tired. This is a feeling of waking up and feeling exhausted as if you have run a marathon during the night. Most people will feel refreshed after a good nights sleep, this is not the case for sleep apnea sufferers.
Feeling tired following a nights sleep and not feeling refreshed, feeling groggy.
When you are feeling tired, exhausted, and have no energy it is natural that irritability and moodiness will follow.
When constant tiredness and fatigue is your daily routine this can get you down and often lead to depression. Not being able to do the things you want because of the constant fatigue has a huge impact on your emotional state, this can build up over years of continued sleep deprivation.
You may not even be aware that you snore! You may have family members who have told you that you snore and that is the only way that you know. How many people who live on their own are aware that they snore?
Experiencing a dry mouth or sore throat or even both is caused by sleeping with your mouth open and gasping for air during the night.
Waking during sleep and gasping for air is a typical sleep apnea symptom.
Waking up suddenly from sleep "with a snort" is typical.
Having low energy is the feeling of 'can't be bothered to do anything'. Due to the lack of quality sleep the body does not restore its energy levels leaving you feeling so lethargic.
Not being able to concentrate very well due to sleep deprivation is one of the many sleep apnea symptoms.
When a person experiences short-term memory loss, he or she can remember incidents that happened 20 years ago but is less clear on the details of things that happened 20 minutes ago.
This is a strong urge to keep moving your legs caused by an unpleasant or uncomfortable feeling in the legs, which prevents sleep and also disturbs sleep.
If you have symptoms, whether mild or severe, you should always see a doctor to arrange a sleep apnea test so a diagnosis can be made so you can start receiving treatment as soon as possible.

Q: How to download the multiple bokeh images as a single report My application is hosted on Django and one of the html pages shows multiple bar graphs which are drawn using Bokeh. I know we can download each graph separately by using SaveTool icon which comes with Bokeh.
Now my requirement is I want to have a export button in the page, when I click on export button, all the images should be downloaded in a single pdf file or any other format what ever is the easier option to implement.
Please guide me how can I achieve this?
Thanks In Advance.

A: If this is a Bokeh server application, you could use the export_png function. However, it sounds like it is a Bokeh server application, in which case there is nothing built-in for this. It looks like there is a JavaScript API for screen capture. So you could try using that API in a CustomJS callback for a Button. Note that for security reasons that API will make make users provide active consent every time before allowing a screenshot to be taken.
