Dr. Charles B. Simone named a Fellow of the American College of Radiation Oncology (FACRO)
Dr. Charles B. Simone, II, Chief Medical Office of the New York Proton Center, has been named a Fellow of the American College of Radiation Oncology (FACRO). Fellowships are awarded to those who meet rigorous criteria of outstanding service to the College and the specialty of radiation oncology. Most importantly, recipients are honored for carrying out efforts that benefit the patients they serve. Being recognized as a Fellow of the American College of Radiation Oncology is one of the most prestigious honors the College can bestow on a member.
Dr. Simone is an internationally recognized expert in the use of proton therapy to treat thoracic malignancies and for reirradiation. He has developed clinical trial strategies and innovative research in thoracic radiation oncology and stereotactic body radiation therapy. "At the New York Proton Center, we have carefully assembled a team of clinical experts with longstanding experience in proton therapy and who have a commitment to the well-being of their patients," said Allan Freeman, Chief Executive Officer at the New York Proton Center. "Dr. Simone's depth of expertise in radiation oncology is pivotal as we establish the region's foremost destination for proton therapy right here in Manhattan."
Dr. Simone is also a National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and Department of Defense funded investigator who performs clinical and translational research investigating the benefits of proton therapy as part of multi-modality therapy for thoracic malignancies. Dr. Simone was granted an Accelerated FACRO appointment – with his Fellowship awarded much earlier than the College usually gives this distinguished recognition – due to his multiple leadership positions within the College and significant contributions to the general field of oncology, as exemplified by more than 300 published peer-reviewed scientific articles and book chapters and nearly 200 scientific lectures for national and international audiences.
The American College of Radiation Oncology is managed by an elected board of volunteers with the purpose of ensuring the highest quality care for radiation oncology patients and promoting success in the practice of radiation oncology through education, responsible socioeconomic advocacy, and integration of science and technology into clinical practice.
The New York Proton Center is creating the gold standard for proton therapy, giving patients new hope in their fight against cancer. In partnership with leading academic medical centers – Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Montefiore Health System, Mount Sinai Health System – and ProHEALTH as manager, the New York Proton Center brings together expert oncologists, clinical care teams, and researchers to improve cancer care and advance the clinical evidence for proton therapy.

Q: Suppose that $f$ on $[0,1]$ satisfies $f(\int_0^1 g dx) \leq \int_0^1 f(g(x)) dx$. Then $f$ is convex Suppose that $f$ satisfies $f(\int_0^1 g(x) dx) \leq \int_0^1 f(g(x)) dx$. Whenever $g$ is bounded and measurable. Then $f$ is convex.
Any hints are appreciated, thanks!

A: Fix $s,t \in \mathbb R$ and $\lambda  \in [0,1]$. Let $g(x) = s,$ for $x < \lambda$ and $g(x) = t$ for $x \ge \lambda$. Then $$\int_0^1 g(x) dx = \int_0^\lambda s \,\, dx + \int_\lambda ^1 t \,\, dx = \lambda s + (1-\lambda)t$$ and $$\int^1_0 f(g(x)) dx = \int_0^\lambda f(s) \,\, dx + \int_\lambda ^1 f(t) \,\, dx = \lambda f(s) + (1-\lambda)f(t).$$ Clearly such $g$ is bounded and measurable so the assumed inequality gives $$f(\lambda s + (1-\lambda)t) \le \lambda f(s) + (1-\lambda)f(t).$$ Since $s,t \in \mathbb R, \lambda \in [0,1]$ were arbitrary, this shows that $f$ is convex.

Story and Development Strategist
When I was in my 20's, I decided to get a Masters Degree and I did, and it was a good experience. It was not a traditional program, it was focused on human systems consulting and leadership, and it was both academic and experiential.The program was highly idealistic, born out of the minds of quite a few leaders themselves, and ones who had come of age in the late 50's and 60's and had a Human Potential mindset without the cult like feel.
Strongly focused on group dynamic work, it also held Family of Origin Theory (Virginia Satir) as a cornerstone of the work. In short you form patterns and traumas and joys and rhythms with your family of origin that you then, if unresolved and unexamined, may play out in future group and couple relationships. Why do you keep dating strong silent types like your dad who never would tell you he loved you? Well, Family Of Origin might suggest you are working that relationship out through other people.
That's a simplistic take and there are myriad other societal and cultural dynamics at play into why we act the way we act in groups, but so far as it goes, FOO is a great lens to understand the self, and how one reacts in groups and to others. There were far more other layers in place for group work-conflict resolution, coaching, helping skills, understanding group norms, cultural dynamics, interpersonal communication. And things would get intense because not only did we study them, we practiced the skills in real life and in simulated situations.
Most of the people in my cohort either wanted to be a business consultant or a therapist (there were two main MA tracks, one for each of those, but we mostly all studied together). I was in a new track, Leadership in Human Systems, which was a bit of both, but very short lived and more on that in a moment. All of us were very idealistic, forward thinking, progressive, and hopeful that we'd be able to help change the world, or at least some of the people in the world.
I say that the school was born out of the Human Potential movement. That's probably an exaggeration, but it was staffed by folks of that era and used curriculum from leaders of that era, and employed a technique called the Skill Group (you sit in small groups of four and you have to stay in the "I" the "hear and now" and use very precise physical or emotional observations. You talk about nothing, but good goddamn the shit that comes up. I believe places like Landmark use techniques like this, but one of the differences with LIOS was that they felt early Human Potential work was overly intimate and created a false sense of that intimacy too quickly. "Touch and Tell" groups they called them. Participants would feel love-bombed and connected immediately, their remaining resistance seens as a problem. Mix that with charismatic leaders and you are in dangerous territory.
The leaders of LIOS seemed to grapple with that dynamic, trying to ensure that the growth and health of the participant and group was real and stable. It was messy work nonetheless. Real emotions brought up things to deal with and examine and come down from, and then the group dynamics work, or theory would be applied and examined. I found much of the work very profound and I grew immeasurably both personally and professional during that time. Now that I am a parent and have seen my own parent pass on, I think the work would have been even more profound.
All this to say, and this was a long and meandering way to begin, I think the core ethics of the program was highly idealistic and focused on an ideal that human beings, with the right communication skills, curiosity about each other, and self examination could really make the world a better place. It's not conflict! It's just a lack of "I" statements!!!
Again, I'm mocking my own desires here. I came into the program after a childhood that looked relatively ideal on the surface, but was marred by death, alcoholism, and a lot of conflict leaving the household fearful and sad most of the time. It's quite possible there was some covert narcissism happening, or some other disorderly dynamic that often left me feeling gaslit and afraid. I was carrying a LOT of desire to find a communication style that would somehow magically end that feeling and immediately heal my relationship with my mother.
Dear reader, it did not.
It did give me more skills to manage myself and understand where I played that Family of Origin relationship out.
I still though, either to my credit or detriment or both, carry the idealistic and probably childish hope that if we could JUST communicate better, be more transparent, explain though our history and feelings, that things "things meaning…work dynamics, or poor politics or…." would improve. And, of course, there are places where that work.
You try using Family Of Origin and Group Dynamics techniques to get an angry anti-reproductive justice, ant-LGBTQ, hyper religious protester to leave the queer kids alone at PRIDE and see how far you get. Spoiler alert, it doesn't work at PRIDE. It might work (on some micro level) one on one. The techniques help ME though, do better deescalation work.
So, I have issues. I have some weird built in naivete, or idealistic belief in humanity or at least how humanity could be somehow if we just owned our own feelings.
What's the point, Julie.
We watched the first half of Alex Gibney's "Crime of the Century" last night. If you want to watch a film that will nip your idealism in the bud, watch that one. It's about Purdue Pharma and Oxycontin. All the Contins actually. It's about how Purdue flooded the world with opioids, knew there was a problem, hid the problem, and allowed nay encouraged sales reps to just hook people on dope. Even with lawsuits, open records, evidence discovery, and more, Purdue is banking on their products, literally. My husband, who is delightfully more cynical about humanity than me said, "Capitalism removes ethics from the equation, or externalities like people dying of addiction," referring to the clear grand scheme of profit.
Purdue might have believed this was a humanistic solution to pain care AND they might have realized the sales potential would make them all ultra rich AND they might themselves be cynical enough to think that only bad people get addicted, AND none of that matters because the end result is a mass opioid crisis in many areas of the US BUT it's made them billions and billions and even the Justice Department and Congress won't stop them. And in fact, didn't stop them and now it's not just Contins but Fentanyl. A lot of sociopathy on display in that documentary and I just came away wondering what I don't let myself see, or can't see all the poison in the world-Maybe I'd explode if I did. Maybe I try hard to live in that idealistic space because I do see, but I am beginning to believe the "it's possible to change things" vibe I give off is foolish.
Like, if you have a problem of immense size, and it's killing people but it makes you and quite a few others on high governmental levels obscenely right, I guess you just don't solve that problem. See-White Supremacy. See-Misogyny and Homophobia. See-Health Care. See-Renters Rights. See-so many things to see and the dynamic underlying it all seems to have to do with capitalism. Hyper, unbridled, unregulated, cynical, death-eating, consuming capitalism where the body of the earth and the body of the human are just materials to exploit. Maybe there is no other kind.
And, this was one of the things that my degree program did not prepare me or any other person for, at last not in my recollections. Many of the idealistic creators and students of the curriculum were extremely well paid consultants themselves, working in fields like….the oil industry for one, but there were a lot of business people working or getting trained to help consult with corporations. Taking the gospel of transformational human systems into the gulf coast where they might make their working and administration systems much more functional, warm, and effective all while that newfound improvement helps to rob the planet of oil, which then…well, the rest of it right?
The track I was in was Leadership in Human Systems, right? It was neither counseling, nor corporate consulting. Imagine a coach/consultant who might help your church board be less toxic. Or your PTA or a nonprofit. That would be me, I guess. As I said earlier, it was a track that didn't last long and I think in part because the graduates wouldn't be making much money since the above examples don't pay well. Not sure. My idealistic self though was all over it.
But here's the thing about human systems. First, they are only as healthy as the humans in them, and secondly, I think that the system itself takes on an energy and power of its own. We are the country that allowed for the magical idea that corporations were individuals!!! Imagine that level of magic telling a thing made up of people that it is a people itself!! A corporation then (in my mostly metaphoric way of thinking) might take on life and a will of its own. And with most living things, there is a will to consume and survive and I guess replicate itself. What I'm trying to get to is that you can get the humans in a system to examine themselves, and you can probably even get a lot of those humans in the system to examine themselves and the system, but without a compelling moral reason, to move the whole system into health, that strategy will eat culture for breakfast (as Peter Drucker has said).
If a system's mission is to make money at all costs (which is the underlying mission of all large scale corporate systems), then it doesn't matter how healthy the humans are. They might come in healthy and leave in tears. There were clearly some whistle-blowers in Purdue, who joined up thinking they were bringing visionary pain support to people in need, and left realizing they (and the company)were addicting people to drugs. They couldn't change the system, they had to leave.
And if you are a highly paid consultant, and get hired to help a wealthy corporation treat their employees better/build more efficient work systems/shift company culture to some vague state of betterness but you are helping a company that makes air to ground missiles, I don't know what to tell you. I think you are part of the bigger problem, no matter how idealistic the techniques you use.
I mean maybe your work might encourage a few people to leave and walk away from Omelas, and for that I'd be grateful, but I just don't know.
This was long. It wasn't well thought out, because it is the first thing in the morning, but it's just what I'm thinking about today, about myself and my own naivete born of trauma (or perhaps it's been some magical built in personality dynamic), the level of cynicism that exists, and how on earth I find my place in it with the limited skills I have.
Can we make human systems better? Or is the biggest cultural system we are in so unhealthy that it should be chucked in the bin? Probably. Maybe not. I don't know. I still have a whole two hours to go on Gibney's film, so check back tomorrow.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to see one of my favorite plays, "Spring Awakening" for absolutely free. At the end of 2012 I won season tickets to a regional theater in my area (my best sweepstakes win to date). We had great seats in the orchestra, and it reminded me how much I love the arts – especially theater. I was a theater minor in college, and I don't see nearly enough live performances, especially given that there are frugal ways to make the arts a part of your life. Today, I'm going to share a few easy tips for experiencing arts and culture, even when your budget is tight.
Right down the road from the regional theater I attended is a local high school which is a magnet school for arts and theater students. At least once a week I pass its gates with a sign promoting an upcoming production. Because it is a performing arts high school – they do runs of shows you would actually want to see – including newer plays and musicals that may have sparked your attention. One way to enjoy theater on a budget is to skip the regional and national theaters entirely. High schools, Colleges, and Community Theaters do very impressive productions, and tickets are inexpensive – sometimes around $10.00. Now, I realize that student productions aren't the same as professional ones – but let's say you have a theater budget of $100.00 per year. You could see one big show (probably to the tune of $40-50), and then you could see 3-5 additional student/community productions. This can really round out your theater experience.
My next tip allows you to go to professional theaters, but for much less money. Every year you can purchase an Entertainment Guide Book for your area which has hundreds of two-for-one deals and other discounts. There's an entire section devoted to theater and entertainment. You can typically get two tickets for the price of one to most of the major theaters in your area using coupons from the book. The books expire around November – so right now they are on sale for 50% off. Most are selling for only $17.50, PLUS you can purchase them through ebates and get 17.5% cash back, so we're talking about eight months of fantastic savings, and lots of half priced theater all for less than $15.00. There are also a ton of dining discounts in the book, so you can make it a fancy evening of dinner and a show. Can you tell I love the entertainment guide?
Another little trick for seeing a play without spending a ton of money is to get on the mailing list for the theaters around you. Doing so, you can find out about special offers such as preview nights and "pay what you can" events. The great thing about the folks who put on theatrical productions, is that they want to spread an appreciation for the arts to the community at large. Many theaters have it in their mission to find ways to offer inexpensive theater to the community. You can often catch a preview night of a show, which basically means you get to attend a final dress rehearsal. You might catch a line flub or two – but all-in-all, these performances are pretty much the real deal. Other theaters offer discount nights for the community, or will offer free tickets via a lottery system to select performances. I am a personal fan of the "pay what you can" nights that some theaters are adopting. I love the arts, and I want to support them – but sometimes the full price of admission is challenging. At these events I can still financially contribute, but I'm not overextending my budget.
I think experiencing the arts is something that makes your life so much richer. I love that you can have the luxury of artistic expression for less than you'd think.
Do you have any other tips for seeing theatrical productions on a limited budget?

2018 has been another momentous year for ForrestBrown. We have delivered more than £100m benefit to our clients across the UK. Again, we've had much to celebrate along the way.
In the Spring, ForrestBrown joined forces with alliantgroup, the premier provider of tax credits in the US. This new relationship has allowed us to move faster, grow faster and have more impact… and the results are below.
In October, our business turned five years old and we marked our fifth birthday in style. There was live music, cocktails and celebrations at the beautifully restored Bristol Old Vic.
Looking back on another year of accolades, I can only say that, if the sky was the limit; we've gone stratospheric! And fittingly, our new London office is in the iconic Tower 42 skyscraper.
Who knows what this team will achieve next?
ForrestBrown was named best independent consultancy firm at the prestigious Tolley's Taxation Awards 2018.
The Sunday Times listed us as the number one company to work for in the South West.
And in the same report 47th best small company to work for in the entire UK.
The South West Fast Growth 50 awards named us overall number one fastest growing business in the South West and same within their professional services category.
Our employer brand was recognised with three awards at the 2018 Employer Brand Management Awards (EBMA).
I was delighted to scoop a Trailblazers Top 50 Business Leader award.
These awards recognised our tax expertise, our growth strategy and our credentials as one the country's best and most exciting places to work.
It's testament to a job well done by the whole ForrestBrown team, of whom I am very proud.
I am also immensely proud of our new corporate social responsibility initiative — the ForrestBrown forest. In association with TREE AID, we're planting a tree in Africa for every claim we complete.
We raised almost £6k for our chosen local charity of the year, BRACE.
BRACE assist dementia research through the funds they raise. They do this by awarding grants to university-based researchers in south west England and south Wales. They aim to help medical science to understand what causes dementia, facilitate earlier diagnosis and find new treatments.
We held our inaugural ThinkTank for professional services leaders which was a huge success. During the course of the day, expert speakers shared their thoughts on a range of topics, including cybersecurity, talent development and the state of business in the UK.
2018 took our team headcount to 88 strong, including: chartered tax advisers, accountants, sector specialists; our former HMRC inspector; lawyers, QAs and client-relations advisers.
Throughout the year, we supported 28 of our team members in their professional qualifications. We are proud to be an ICAEW accredited training employer, and in 2018, we made 21 additions to our tax team. Our tax associate programme has proven to be a great success, and I look forward to meeting our new intake in the Spring. It's a privilege for us to help train the next generation of tax talent.
And it's with great pride that I confirm we are going to expand our team further, by more than 40 roles in 2019. That's not all. I'm excited to announce that we will be moving to larger offices in Bristol to accommodate our growing team.
We're still looking for those bright, dedicated individuals to join us. 2019 promises to be one of the most ambitious, exciting and significant years in our history. If you take pride in the work you do and always strive for excellence then we'd love to hear from you. You can get in touch via our careers website.
Happy new year! I can't wait to see what 2019 brings.


Please read what I have to say about veneers then click the link below for the ADA website on veneers.
First of all, I am all in favor of veneers so don't let my comments talk you out of them. Just read what I have to say about them then decide for yourself if they are right for you. Veneers are a wonderful way to correct the appearance of your teeth. In fact they can look so good that they can give you that Hollywood smile. Crowded and stained teeth can be made to look amazing. There are relatively new veneer techniques that don't even require the tooth to be drilled on. There are times when the veneer is definitely the restoration of choice!!! So basically I am pro veneer but only when the situation calls for a veneer. When just cosmetics is the reason for getting veneers please make sure you know all the alternative treatment options.
The no drill veneers should not be done if they will make your teeth look too big. Sometimes braces and tooth whitening can acheive the same result and not cost any more. In most cases the teeth do need to be drilled on for the veneer to be done. Remember, drilling on the tooth is forever and if not needed should be avoided! When treatment planned and done properly, veneers can last a very long time. As they don't last forever, can debond and fall off, and yes you can get a cavity under them, doing veneers as with any dental procedure has potential for a future cost of replacing them.
My favorite veneer case may actually be my favorite dental treatment of my career. A new patient came to see me for a second opinion and price quote. She was getting married in 8 months and wanted straight and white teeth for her wedding pictures. Another dentist told her he could do veneers and gave her a price quote. When I saw her she asked if I could do the veneers and asked how much. I did an exam and indeed her bite (the way the teeth bite together) was great and she was an excellent patient for cosmetic veneers. I noticed that her crowding was very slight and her teeth were not really that yellow. When I mentioned that getting braces, having them removed for the wedding, and whitening her teeth before the wedding was also an option she was surprised as the other dentist did not mention this alternative treatment option. I then told her that veneers don't last forever (the term permanent filling should be outlawed) and that someday she would have the expense of replacing some or all of them. The other dentist had not mentioned this either. Then there is the cost! In her case it was thousands of dollars less expensive to get braces and whiten her teeth. She opted for the ortho referal, got the braces, had them removed before the wedding, and I made her whitening trays so she had a straight and bright smile for her wedding. As I do not do braces, my contact with her was for the exam, the tooth whitening, then she moved out of the area after getting married. Though I only saw her a few times, not doing veneers for her will be one of the high points of my career.

I read voraciously as a child. I imagine anyone would in my position; I had a loving family, but I was teased mercilessly throughout elementary school. I spent most of my time alone: sitting in my favorite corner of the school library thumbing through the bookshelves, wandering into the forest next to my school and imagining being on a daring adventure. I became fast friends with a dog whose owner lived in a house right next to the field; I would tell him that, one day, we'll explore exciting places far away from here.
My urge to read everything I could get my hands on got me into trouble. I was reprimanded in Grade Six for reading books meant only for Grade Seven students (the highest grade in my school) and scolded for reading Seventeen magazines when I was nowhere close to being in the "appropriate" age range. Still, I held onto books and the small sense of freedom and hope they gave me because, at the time, they were all I had. This world of brave girls and quests and imaginary lands made me feel less alone.
In Grade Five I started writing down the stories I would make up in my head to pass the time. They were strange—one was about a small snake trying to follow a wagon train à la Little House on the Prairie, while another was about a tennis ball who rolled away from his family—but my teachers liked them, so I felt encouraged to keep going. Eventually, I found my way into Honours English and AP English in high school, where I fell in love with Shakespeare's plays and the Romantic poets and, surprisingly enough, James Joyce's Dubliners (if you're reading this Mr. Wallace, thank you for bringing us to so many Bard on the Beach performances and letting us read Dubliners). I read its final short story—"The Dead"—over and over again, struck by the epiphany that nearly brought Gabriel Conroy to his knees. Maybe this story came to me at the right time; on the cusp of graduation, not knowing what I wanted to do while telling everyone I had a plan. I bought a copy while I was in Québec the summer before I started college, holding it close when I made the sudden decision to change my major.
I've had a few small epiphanies since then: realizing this is what I've always wanted to do while sitting in my honors Arts program, when I decided to go to grad school for cinema studies, the first time someone told me my poetry meant something to them. I've been chasing that sudden clarity since, that breathless moment when everything either fits into place or shatter in the most exalting way possible. When I read, watch, or experience something that makes time stop around me, it etches itself into my memories, like it's a part of me now.
Maybe that's what drove me to establish my online literary and art journal L'Éphémère Review and dive deeper into writing and editing and becoming a better literary citizen; chasing epiphanies and sharing them with as many people as I can. Stories have intrinsically changed who I am as a person and giving back to the communities that shaped me is the least I can do. This is why I'm grateful I have the opportunity to work for Sundress Publications; we are all made up of stories that deserve to be told, and being able to help others tell their stories is something I feel like I was meant to do.

Most of my mapping time over the last few days has been spent with houses. This got me thinking, what do you actually want from a house?! Please answer the questions below by writing your answer next to the question number (please do not quote the questions). Remember, I will consider the answers of these questions when mapping houses which might one day be yours!
1. Would you prefer single big rooms, or several smaller rooms? Would you want a kitchen, living room or storage room (or other room not containing beds)?
2. Would you want your house to have a counter so that you can use it as a shop (assume that other players can't throw lots of random trash into your house)?
3. Would you want a balcony?
4. Would you want a garden? If so, would you prefer it on the roof or next to the house?
Large city or small town?
6. What are the most important things you want from a house?
1.) I prefer smaller rooms at least where the beds are. Definitely i wouldn't want to have a bed in a kitchen as well as in living room.
3.) Id love to see balcony, not on all houses of course!
5.) I'd go with either, large city and small towns.
Well i would like to see this on most of the houses, not in all of them!
Last edited by knight legend on April 16, 2010, 03:51:30 PM, edited 1 time in total.
3. - Sure, its so cool!
4. - yes! In Houses outside the city, i could have my own garden, its cool!
1) I prefer several smaller rooms.
2) To be honest I don`t like counters but few houses may have them.
3) Love them, so yes!
4) Definetly yes, don`t care where they are ;p.
6) Some place to show your items and also to hide them in a cupboard, inviting friends, would be nice if a house could have more than 1 owners.
4 - Yes i love gardem, next to the house!
1. Several small rooms and a storage room.
2. Yeah, of course! Thats a good idea, like you told, it gonna make able players have their own shop.
3. Im sure you gonna have a beautiful vision from there, so yeah!
4. A small garden, next of the house. It make the house look attractive.
5. In a small and peaceful city, not that close from a hunting spot.
6. Make it customizable. Stuff like bookshelter, pictures, wardrobe can be sealable in shops and can be put in your house.
Thats all. Sorry for the bad english, hope you guys can understand it!
2. i hate houses with "shop mode"
5. all house of game only in cities and villages.
1- Smaller rooms, so I can easly roleplay..I want a kitchen, living room, bedroom etc.
2- That could be optional. You buy the counter in the shop and fix it in the floor so noone can move/enter.
3- Sure. It would be great to sit there and watch the street. But just a few houses should have it.
4- Next to the house, however, large cities houses shouldn't have gardens, just in smaller villages. Also, you should be able to buy flowers and animals to put there.
6- The most important thing in a house is the roleplay. You should be able to stay inside it and, if possible, recovering health/mana. The house must be the second most important roleplaying place, losing only to the tavern. Also, we should be able to realocate beds, wall lamps, carpets, etc.
1.Several smaller rooms, each with their usefulness, including a bathroom.
2.Yes, I'd like to be able to have a shop.
4.Yes, next to the house. I think it's ugly on the roof.
6.A safe place, completely isolated from the dangers of the outside, but where I would be able to interact with the community, by making shops, taverns and other stuff. The house should look like a real house, be decorated like a real house, and not just a big place where you would throw all your items on the floor.
1.Small rooms,if a have other friend he can take a room.
2.Only in house near of the depot.
1. Several smaller rooms make the house nicer , some houses with a kitchen wouldn't look to bad, imho just big houses should have kitchen or living rooms with sofas!
3. A house with balcony should be a luxury one, maybe there could be 1 per street or 4-5 per city... whtn talking about little balconys, one house could have more than one little balcony 1-2 sqm.
4. A house with garden, is very nice, If I could ill try to choose a house with graden. Maybe in a big house you could do like two "wings" and between them a garden on 1st or 2nd floor, that would look really cool.
Prefer large cities, houses are used to showoff, no point on having one in a isloated small town.
No hunting spots near, just the sewers.
There could be a Harbour Lane, of course, but they don't need to be faced in a special direction.
6. Estethically, a nice good-looking house, and a well renderized space inside.
Good looks and good position so everyone who passes by can see my items inside.

By Mike Hazlip—
Following the opening of dozens of new businesses in town last year, several new businesses have already announced plans to open in Citrus Heights later this year.
Sunrise Marketplace Executive Director Kathilynn Carpenter said the redevelopment project at Sunrise Village, at the corner of Sunrise Boulevard and Madison Avenue, is nearing completion with the property owner expected to turn over a 36,152-square-foot space to City Sports for further interior development.
The gym is likely to open in late 2023 or early 2024, Carpenter said.
Additionally, a new micro food hall called Local Kitchens, is slated for a 2023 opening in the same center. The kitchen will occupy a 2,030-square-foot suite in the same building as Little Caesar's and will offer dishes from multiple local restaurants all on one tab, which customers can pick up or have delivered.
Next to Sunrise Village, See's Candies is also planning to open a new corporate office and flagship store in the former Patelco Credit Union building.

Asked about businesses that have filed plans with the city, Economic Development and Community Engagement Director Meghan Huber noted in an email last week that planning entitlements have been submitted for a Starbucks at Auburn Boulevard and Whyte Avenue, as well as plans indicating a potential new hotel at Sunrise Mall. Both developments are in review, according to city records.

Two medical offices have also submitted building permits, one at 7551 Madison Ave., and another at 7803 Madison Ave., Huber said.
The Sentinel previously reported that a plasma donation center will also be opening in the former Dimple Records building on Macy Plaza Drive. Sentinel staff recently observed exterior work on the new facility has been completed, with furniture being moved in the interior.
The long-awaited opening of a California Burrito on Lichen Drive, near Raley's, could also happen in 2023, but multiple attempts by The Sentinel to reach representatives of the restaurant have been unsuccessful. In June last year, a city spokesman said the project was "still in the development approvals process."
Plans have also been announced for a new Sushi Habachi restaurant to take up the former Tokyo Buffet on Greenback Lane, but those plans appear to have been delayed following a second fire at the site in last year. A new theater next to Big Lots is also listed as "coming soon" in a leasing brochure, but additional details have not been confirmed by the property owner.

Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Celebrates 40 Years Of Foot-Stompin' Fun at Walt Disney World Resort
When Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue launched on June 30, 1974, the high-energy dinner show at Pioneer Hall at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground was created in the heyday of dinner theaters for Walt Disney World guests with a summer college intern cast. The foot-stompin', hand-clappin' musical starred six young actors and offered endless buckets of fried chicken and ribs.
"Hoop-Dee-Doo was upbeat, and guests came for the corny jokes, good food and lots of fun," said Forrest Bahruth, show director, Disney Parks & Resorts Creative Entertainment and the original choreographer for the dinner show. "Forty years later, the heart is still in it, the energy is still there."
As that first summer ended and guests were clamoring for more, Walt Disney World Entertainment already was auditioning a full-time cast, and Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue opened as a permanent show on Sept. 5, 1974. Today, it's one of the country's longest-running dinner shows and has presented more than 37,000 performances. More than 10.5 million guests have seen the high-spirited show.
And while Hoop-Dee-Doo has been fine-tuned over its 40-year run, the heart of the show never has changed: a slice of Americana, old-fashioned family fun and heaping helpings of good, down- home food. "Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue exemplifies everything that Disney stands for," said show director Tom Vazzana. "It's interactive fun for families and stellar entertainment – six performers put on a show that's 90 minutes of pure enjoyment."
Performers sing, dance and act their way through the timeless classic. "I love to go and hear kids squeal with delight at Six Bits, but also hear strong American ballads," says Vazzana. "Families tell me it's the first time they've seen a Broadway-style show – it's obtainable and accessible, quintessential Disney."
In true Disney fashion, Walt Disney Imagineers designed Pioneer Hall in authentic Wild West style with 1,283 hand-fitted pine logs from Montana and 70 tons of stones from North Carolina to re-create a look from the late 1800s. The building opened April 1, 1974.
Themed entertainment is always part of the Disney story. While Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue was being written and cast, a group of country-Western musicians called The Star-Spangled Washboard Band opened in Pioneer Hall, according to an historical timeline by Larry Billman, author/writer and Disney entertainment consultant, who was the author and writer of the original show.
Bob Jani, the director of Entertainment for both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, saw the potential for a "dinner theater show" and hired Billman. After multiple rewrites (the first version was called "We're With You, Mother McCree!"), Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue was born.
Students from the Disney World Fine Arts College Workshop program, an 11-week work experience program, auditioned for the three female and three male character performers in Hoop-Dee-Doo: Six Bits Slocum and Dolly Drew (comic relief), Jim Handy and Flora Long (the singers), and Johnny Ringo and Claire de Lune (the dancers).
"The college students sent us video auditions, and we had more than 600 applicants," said Bahruth. The cast arrived at Walt Disney World Resort in early June for quick rehearsals, and the show opened on June 30, 1974.
Through the decades, the show saw some small revisions to songs and dance numbers, but the basic premise – a Wild West show in an old-timey music hall with a romantic leading lady and man – always remained as the guests clapped, stomped their feet and sang along, all the while sharing an all-American dinner around a communal, "please pass the cornbread" table.
There's been just one change to the Hoop-Dee-Doo menu since 1974 – the strawberry shortcake for dessert. When the show opened it served apple pie, but changed to shortcake in 1979.
Today, servers dish up about 900 pounds of fried chicken every night, and cooks spend about six hours each day just breading the chicken. Add 400 pounds of pork ribs, slow cooked starting at 11 a.m. daily on a big outdoor smoker. For sides, there's 120 pounds of corn, 400 pounds of potatoes to be mashed and 30 gallons of baked beans. It takes 15 gallons of strawberries and 12 gallons of whipped cream to make dessert.
Servers are part of the show, happily slamming all-you-care-to-eat buckets of ribs and chicken on the tables as they sing and dance their way through the dining room. Beer, wine, sangria and soft drinks are part of the menu.
The Show Today
With three shows nightly at 4 p.m., 6:15 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., guests can select from three different seating options based on floor or balcony tables. (Price includes tax and gratuity.)
Category 1 - $66.99 (10 and up) and $35.99 (3-9)
Category 1 is first-floor level with tables nearest the stage. Category 2 is either a table on the first floor behind the Category 1 seating below the balcony or in the center of the balcony. Category 3 tables are on the right or left side of the balcony on the second floor.
For reservations, book online or call (407) WDW-DINE up to 180 days prior to your visit.
Today one member of the original cast from the college program still works for Disney – Marilyn Kay Magness, who played the part of Dolly Drew. She's executive creative director, Disney Parks, Creative Entertainment.
An early draft of the show was titled The Whoop-Dee-Doo-Revue, which was revised to Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.
Principal songwriter was Tom Adair, who also wrote words for the score for Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" and the "Mickey Mouse Club."
In 1979 the song "Apple Pie Hoedown" was replaced with "Strawberry Short Cake Walk" when shortcake replaced apple pie on the menu.
The writers added a nod to Disney legacy with "The Legend of Davy Crockett," skit, complete with a coonskin cap and bear puns.
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue was part of the opening entertainment at Tokyo Disneyland in 1983, with Larry Billman and Forrest Bahruth directing and staging the new version. The show played there until 1995.

Q: Jquery Datatables with MVC custom column I've searched a lot on the internet but I can't find a way to do this.
I'm using Jquery datatables:
var oTable = $('#boardTable2').DataTable({
            "ajax": {
                "url": '/Boards/GetBoards',
                "type": "get",
                "datatype": "json",
                "dataSrc": function(json) {
                    return json;
                }
            },
            "columns": [
                { "data": "Name" },
                { "data": "Description" },
                { "data": "StartDate" },
                { "data": "EndDate" }
            ]
        });

Table looks like this:

But I want another custom column like this:

                <button class="btn btn-sm dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">

                </button>

                             Edit

                             Delete

                             Details

Actually, this exact code to be another row. How do I do that? Any suggestions? Maybe I missed a similar question? I'm just completely lost so I would be thankful with any type of help.

A: Other suggestions are alright, but they didn't work for me. I tried to find suggestions but the only one that worked was this one:
var oTable = $('#boardTable2').DataTable({
            "ajax": {
                "url": '/Boards/GetBoards',
                "type": "get",
                "datatype": "json",
                "dataSrc": function(json) {
                    return json;
                }
            },
            "columns": [
                { "data": renderNameandID},
                { "data": "Description" },
                { "data": "StartDate" },
                { "data": "EndDate" },
                { "data": "Id", "render" : function(Data) {
                    return "Edit" +
                            "Delete" +
                            "Details";
                },
                    "orderable": false,
                    "searchable" : false,
                    "width":"150px"
                }
            ],
            "language" : {
                "emptyTable" : "No data found"
            }
        });

A: try this option
var html = 'insert your html here'

 var oTable = $('#boardTable2').DataTable({
        "ajax": {
            "url": '/Boards/GetBoards',
            "type": "get",
            "datatype": "json",
            "dataSrc": function(json) {
                return json;
            }
        },
        "columns": [
            { "data": "Name" },
            { "data": "Description" },
            { "data": "StartDate" },
            { "data": "EndDate" }
        ],
        "columnDefs": [ {
        "targets": -1,
        "data": null,
        "defaultContent": html
    } ]
    });

A: Basicly if you want to create additional data column with Jquery Datatables i would pass additional data via ajax. It is not necessary unless you want to pass Razor syntax in HTML @Url.Action("Edit", new { id = item.ID }). If you want to add whole this HTML btn-group you need to create maybe a HTML helper to fold this btn-group HTML with C# syntaxes like Url.Action() or item.ID. Then add it to each taken record and return to ajax.
Remeber to create additional html
 because Datatables need to have the same count of column in data and also in selected table.

Compliance management is no simple task in today's world. The sheer volume of data involved is intimidating enough. But when that data is in multiple languages, you have an additional layer of complexity to manage as well as another significant expense to budget for.
Machine translation is no replacement for expert human translators. But it can help solve some of the compliance problems multicultural organizations face.
Ideally, organizations should aspire to catch (and end) compliance issues as early as possible. Firing employees is an expense in and of itself, and if you address these issues quickly you can often solve the problem with education rather than termination. Meanwhile, whether the behavior in question is illegal, unethical or just plain risky, the sooner you put a stop to it, the less likely you are to get stuck with expensive fines.
Is your organization monitoring employee communication to identify concerning behavior? Machine translation makes it possible to understand, analyze, and review large amounts of archived data in foreign languages, so you can stop problems before they start.
Businesses today generate vast amounts of electronic documents and communications. That makes eDiscovery like looking for needles in a haystack, sifting through tons of irrelevant information to find materials that are relevant to the case. And of course, there are penalties for not identifying and producing all of the necessary documents in a timely manner.
The most workable solution is appropriately-deployed machine translation followed by review and post editing from human experts, when required. Machine translation is not a substitute for human translators. That said, in large cross-border cases, machine translation can be used to produce documents for opposing counsel, and then human translators can translate only those documents that seem relevant. Machine translation can also help your team identify and classify large numbers of documents for review.
Using machine translation when applicable can also improve data security, as long the platform used is secure. (Note: That means free platforms are strictly off limits!) No matter how careful your employees are, each person who accesses a document creates a new security risk. Machine translation can reduce the number of people who need that access to reduce security vulnerabilities.
As the cost of compliance goes up, so does the pressure for businesses to make their compliance procedures more efficient. Machine translation can help optimize your compliance budget by only using human translators when necessary.
When wielded wisely, machine translation can be a powerful weapon in your compliance arsenal. But it can also be risky. For instance, if individuals in your organization rely on free online translation services, your data security could be at risk.
Last year, employees at Norway's Statoil discovered that sensitive data translated using Translate.com's free MT tool was available to the public via a simple Google search.
Though the quality of machine translation has improved by leaps and bounds during the past few years, it's still not a substitute for human translators when clear and accurate translations are required. If inaccuracies make your translations misleading or incomprehensible, that's a compliance risk, too.

Another stunning geometric tile floor from the West Midlands, this time from Walsall. These Victorian tiles manufactured by Craven Dunnill were covered in a range of contaminants as the property owner had undergone a massive amount of refurbishment.
We had to cope with different layers of varnish, polish, plaster, cement, paint and lincrusta adhesive. But as you can see we managed to remove all of those. The sealer used is from our new Platinum line which we can now offer as an optional extra sealer, due to its cost.

Damaged Goods is a digital series centered around four messy creatives of color attempting to survive in the city of Chicago. In season one, all four of them experience the death of their egos, which propels them forward and onto a path of uncertainty, enlightenment and tragedy.
We have Sanavi (Aashvi Patel), a dominant young professional who meets hostility & discrimination head on in her white-dominated workplace when trying to dismantle the "boys club".
Caleb (Chufue Yang) is a messy genderqueer club kid who struggles to find his self worth in the nightlife scene while still getting kicked off his parent's health insurance plan.
In Marlo (Abena Boamah), we find a black wellness social media influencer who seems to be able to comfort & care for others more than herself as she struggles to find her voice within the group.
Ezra (Nosakhere Cash-O' Bannon), who is just barely surviving as a weed dealer, is given an opportunity to make quick money to make rent and pursue his dream of becoming an artist while tragically ending up a statistic.
The nuanced characters, their lives, and the situations they get themselves into, reflects a gritty creative community we rarely get to see played out on screen. We want to capture how revolutionary and humanizing these stories of young poc and queer people can be in today's society; and further validate that our stories have a rightful place in the media.

HomeLeadershipLeaders: Myth and Reality – A Review
Leaders: Myth and Reality – A Review
December 6, 2020 by Mike Kelvington
This first appeared in The Havok Journal on December 21, 2018.
When many big names in business, politics, and pop culture sit down to pen a new book, they tend to capture personal exploits, successes, accumulation of wealth, awards, and achievements. In the bestselling release of Leaders: Myth and Reality, GEN (Retired) McChrystal and his co-authors manage to approach the topic of leadership with a focus still on individuals, but with a healthy dose of humility and an interesting twist. The success attributed to an individual leader is likely just as much about the followers and environmental factors than many would like to admit.
Cover of the best selling book, Leaders: Myth & Reality
GEN (Ret) McChrystal breaks down the elements through the comparison of 6 different pairs of leaders. I appreciated the truth on the pages of their candid examination of these leaders, how they led their followers, how their followers contributed to their success, and how the myriad of variables that could influence the outcomes upon which so many leaders' careers get judged by history. The authors highlight many factors that are often outside the locus of control of the leader's influence. One thing leaders always control is the effort they put forth in whatever endeavor they choose to lead. They also touch on three key myths surrounding leadership, while re-examining the definition of leadership and proposing a new one.
I personally appreciated the most controversial portion of the book, where GEN McChrystal courageously takes a fair examination of the aura surrounding the Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and what was fact or proliferated fiction behind both the man and the leader. He touched on something I discussed and debated with friends for years now. General Lee, for all his good qualities and historical like-ability, demonstrably abandoned his country in a time of need to support an immoral cause. I imagine this criticism has not been warmly received by the entire readership, but challenge others, as the authors routinely do throughout the course of the book, to objectively evaluate those who lead.
What we often find is those who are most effective aren't always the most moral, humble, or likable, but quite the opposite. In fact, sadly we often learn as much about leading from those we despise or desire not to follow and strive to lead in ways we think span the opposite end of the spectrum.
If slogging through a 400-page book isn't quite your thing, you can download the e-book on your Kindle, or listen to it on Audible, including the prologue and epilogue dictated by the former JSOC Commander himself. Not every day you can have the former leader of all the coalition forces in Afghanistan read you a bedtime story. As a military officer, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about such a diverse grouping of leaders that spanned professions, races, nationalities, religions, and gender, giving all aspiring leaders varying prisms to view leaders and leadership, and how many variables must truly be considered.
From Harriet Tubman and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to Albert Einstein and Walt Disney, the case studies on history gives every reader pearls of wisdom to pull from the book and practical application to consider as students of both history and the ever-elusive journey of leading. Regardless of the size of the organization you lead, the composition of the followers, or the field, you're a part of, leaders of every stripe can learn something from GEN (Ret) McChrystal's book on the myth and reality of historic leaders.
General McChrystal concludes with a frustrating reality and challenge to the rest of us: "I came to an accommodation. I will never master leadership, and yet I will never cease the effort to do so. Faced with uncertainty and change, I will seek to adapt where I can and endure where I can't. Success, I've found, doesn't always mean you got it right, and failure doesn't mean you got it wrong."[1] Ultimately, leadership is a process, not a destination. Leading can be a lonely journey. But through the historical examination of other leaders, we can gain solace in knowing there have been others like us in the past, and follow both their steps and missteps, while striving for better ways to lead in the future.
