Allegations of misconduct and unethical behaviour by Oxfam staff during its response to a humanitarian crisis in Haiti in 2011 and other behaviour by some working in the humanitarian aid sector has raised serious concerns about public trust and accountability in charities and triggered a statutory inquiry into Oxfam.
According to many commentators, the Oxfam scandal will have a lasting impact on public perceptions of the organisation's trustworthiness. Some segments of the media have portrayed the humanitarian NGO sector as something of a "Wild West", where predators can abuse freely with no check on their activities.
The gravity of the scandal means that something must be done to repair the lost trust. The most popular type of solution – one advocated in such times – involves some type of increased oversight and tighter regulation of NGOs. But we must be careful in jumping to conclusions. Not only are there already a large number of oversight and regulatory mechanisms already in existence, but the addition of more will shift resources away from the work that the government and the public value NGOs for to meet new bureaucratic requirements.
This might be unnecessary if, as we suggest, NGOs could alternatively regain trust by working to re-establish the social message that the public and government identify with NGOs in the first place.
Plentiful evidence does exist of the prevalence of sexual exploitation and abuse in the sector, stretching back to Save the Children's report on offences in West Africa in 2002. But it is important to correct the misconception that regulations do not exist at the international level. On the contrary, serious work has been devoted towards developing freely accessible guidelines and practical measures to counter sexual exploitation and abuse in humanitarian contexts.
These include the Core Humanitarian Standard, Interaction, Sphere Companion Standards on Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, and an Inter-Agency Standing Committee Task Team. Certification is available to organisations deemed to have appropriate safeguarding measures from Keeping Children Safe, in addition to the background (DBS) check that UK employees working with vulnerable people undergo.
Report the Abuse (despite folding in August 2017 for lack of funding) also has extensive policy and practical recommendations for aid workers and organisations.
All of these regulations have been available for a long time, and they cover all issues. Given this, it doesn't make good sense for NGOs to create more of them in an effort to regain the trust of the public. The reason why public trust has declined in NGOs is not necessarily because of "lack of regulations". It goes deeper than that.
It is understandable that governments want to be seen to be doing something in an attempt to regain trust. But there is a need for caution about unveiling new initiatives without considering all options. Additional regulations and oversight are a costly means to regain trust that draw resources away from programme delivery. But, luckily, they are not the only means through which trust in NGOs can be rebuilt.
It may seem intuitive that if an NGO has more oversight mechanisms, more people will trust it. Such oversight, after all, provides more information about their operations, from which judgements about trustworthiness can be made.
Although this model, what we call a rational model of trust, is certainly part of the story, it is certainly far from the only reason NGOs are trusted, as we have recently shown.
This is because NGOs also benefit from social trust, which is generated by feelings of common identity and working towards a common cause. Put simply, where social trust exists, the public will trust NGOs without having what might otherwise be thought of as "sufficient" information. Social links act as a trust-filler for the absent information.
So if members of the public have some type of identification with the NGO's cause, they will tend to trust more readily – barring blatant evidence that they should not. This means that NGOs can weather brief storms of broken promises so long as they re-establish with the public the core social message that generates this identification in the first place.
NGOs and the public alike should not overlook this advantage when rallying from these recent scandals. Research suggests that a primary reason why NGOs join self-regulation mechanisms is to send a signal to donors that they are credible recipients of funding. But senior staff report concerns that bureaucratic accountability procedures can turn into a tick-box exercise that aims to provide a paper audit trail rather than transform relationships on the ground. What is more, they argue that an "industry of standard-setting" has mushroomed in recent years. NGOs struggle to comply with reporting requirements from donors and voluntary self-regulation mechanisms, often leading to the duplication of work as the same information is recycled in different formats.
So NGOs shouldn't fall into the trap of thinking that more regulations will fix the problem of regaining the trust of the public. This outcome is not necessarily good for anyone. The NGOs find themselves burdened by increasing bureaucracy and cannot devote as many resources to the programmes that the public supports them for. Regulation adds operational costs that might ultimately be inefficient to the delivery of services, or even completely unnecessary, if NGOs can regain trust through avoiding further scandal and reconnecting their central ethical message with the public at large.
Regulation based on rational trust has a place, but it is not the panacea for all ills. Organisations that have conventionally benefited from a privileged position of trust in society should ensure that they reflect on all possible sources of trust when considering the right solution to regain their perception of trustworthiness.

\section{Introduction}%
Lattice methods have proved to be very useful for studying particle
interactions.  As reported at this meeting, lattice gauge theory
calculations now seem to be able to predict the mass of the
``glueball,'' and are leading to a better understanding of both chiral
symmetry breaking and quark confinement.  It is implicit in such
calculations (and sometimes explicit) that one is to take the continuum
limit, but one can, of course, apply lattice field theory methods to
systems which are inherently discrete, without taking the continuum
limit.  DNA branch migration is a simple example.

\bottomfigure{Fig1}

\caption{Schematic of single strand exchange in DNA to form the Holliday
structure (b), followed by branch migration (c).}
\endfigure

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) transmits genetic information when the
molecule is replicated and transmitted to daughter cells.  Rare errors
in replication give rise to mutations.  (The adaptability of organisms
with these mutations gives rise to evolution.)  Mutations do not stay in
the DNA segment (chromosome) in which they arose; they can transfer to
other chromosomes by {\sl recombination}.  In recombination, two DNA
segments encoding the same genes effectively break at homologous points,
and then rejoin or recombine by fusing partner DNA segments.  When
viewed in more detail, one finds an intermediate state (a "Holliday
structure") in which two DNAs are joined by the exchange of only one
strand from each duplex\reference{Holliday, 1964} R. Holliday,
\journal Genetic Research;5,282-304(1964)
\endreference\relax
(\Fig{Fig1}b).  The branch point which joins the two helices is mobile
because of the sequence similarity of the homologous DNAs (\Fig{Fig1}c).
A better understanding of branch migration will lead to a better
understanding of DNA recombination and the propagation of genetic
variation which drives evolution.

Laboratory experiments can now replicate DNA branch migration through
short defined segments of DNA with controlled initial
conditions.\reference{Bruist, 1996} A.W.~Kirby, M.N.~Gaskin,
M.A.~Antezana, S.J.~Goodman, E.~Myers, and M.F.~Bruist,

I.G. Panyutin,  I. Biswas, and P. Hsieh,
\journal EMBO J.;14,1819-1826(1995)
\endreference
Our goal is to develop a model of these experiments which preserves the
discrete nature of DNA. We focus on the motion of the branch point and
ignore the helical structure of DNA.  (A related model has been
described by Fujitani and Kobayashi.\reference{Fujitani, 1995}
Y. Fujitani and I. Kobayashi,
\journal Physical Review E;52,6607-6622(1995)
\endreference)
This can be thought of as a series of linked chemical reactions in a
``compartment model.''\reference{Bentley and Cooke} D.L. Bentley and K.
L. Cooke, \booktitle{Linear Algebra with Differential Equations}, (Holt,
Rinehart and Winston, 1973)
\endreference
Imagine that all of the molecules with branch points in a particular
position are kept in one
compartment, and that when the branch point on a given molecule moves to
a neighboring position that molecule is removed from its compartment and
added to the appropriate neighboring compartment.  If there are $N$
possible positions for the branch then there will be $N+1$ compartments,
the last being for molecules which have separated.  Ignoring this last
compartment, let the $n\hbox{-{th}}$ component of the vector $\vec C(t)$
represent the concentration of molecules having the branch in the $n\hbox{-{th}}$
position at time $t$, and let $\beta$ represent the rate of transport in
the forward or backward directions (assuming these are equal---it is
easy to generalize to the case where they are not). The dynamics of this
system is then described by a set of $N$ coupled first order linear
differential equations, which can be written in matrix form as
$$\EQNdisplaylines{
{d \vec C \over dt} = \beta a^2 \bar M \vec C   \,,
\hfill\EQN 7}$$
where the $N\times N$ matrix $\bar M$ is
$$\EQNdisplaylines{
\bar M = {1 \over a^2}
\pmatrix{
 -1 & ~1     &        &      &    \cr
 ~1 & -2     & 1      &      &    \cr
    & \ddots & \ddots &\ddots&    \cr
    &        & 1      & -2   & ~1  \cr
    &        &        & ~1   & -2  \cr} \,.
\hfill\EQN 8}$$
All blank entries are zero, and we have introduced $a$ as the spacing
between successive positions along the DNA.

The similarity of \Eq{8} to the lattice second derivative is obvious,
and so it should come as no surprise that the continuum limit of this
model is the diffusion equation.  However,
we seek solutions to \Eq{7} before the continuum
limit is taken.  The procedure for finding these solutions is
similar to the continuum case.  First, one can remove a time-dependent
factor by writing $\vec C(t) = e^{-t/\tau} \vec v$, where $\vec v$ is an
eigenvector of $\bar M$.  If the $n\hbox{-{th}}$ component
of $\vec v$ is written as $v(n)$, then the eigenvectors of $\bar M$ have
the form
$$\EQNdisplaylines{
v(n) = \cos(kna + \phi) \,,
\hfill\EQN 10}$$
where $n=0,1,\ldots,N-1$, and where $k$ and $\phi$ are yet to be
determined constants. The eigenvalues are
$$\EQNdisplaylines{
\lambda = {-4 \over a^{2}} \sin^2({ka \over 2})         \,,
\hfill\EQN 11}$$
from which it follows that
$$\EQNdisplaylines{
\tau = {- 1 \over \beta a^{2} \lambda}  \,.
\hfill\EQN 13}$$

In the continuum case the undetermined constants $k$ and $ \phi$ would
be determined by boundary conditions, but there are no ``boundaries'' to
a matrix.
Nevertheless, it is useful to imagine that there are extra compartments
at either end of the system.
\Eq{10} is only an eigenvector because it
fits the +1,~-2,~+1 differencing pattern along the diagonals of $\bar
M$.
This pattern must be maintained for the eigenvalue equation to be valid.
To do so at the upper left corner of $\bar M$ we imagine an extra point
at $n=-1$ such that $v(-1) = v(0)$, which forces $\phi = \half ka$.
This says that the lattice derivative is zero, so in analogy to the
continuum case we call this a ``lattice Neumann'' boundary condition.
To maintain the differencing pattern at the lower right corner of $\bar
M$ we imagine an extra point at $n=N$, such that $v(N) = 0$ (this is the
final compartment that we ignored earlier).
This ``lattice Dirichlet'' boundary condition forces the unknown
constant $k$ to be
$$\EQNdisplaylines{
k = {(2m + 1) \over (2N + 1)} \, {\pi \over a}  \,,
\hfill\EQN 19}$$
where $m=0,1,2 \ldots N-1$.
There are exactly $N$ distinct eigenvalues, which we
will label $\vec v_m$.

\forceright \epsfxsize=\colwidth
\centerline{\epsfbox[50 90 550 450]{LAT96Fig2.eps}}
\caption{Data from an experiment measuring the fraction of branched DNA
converted to separated final product, along with the best fit curve from
the model, \Eq{28}, for $N=40$.}
\endfigure

The most general solution of \Eq{7} is a linear combination of all
of the solutions,
$$\EQNdisplaylines{
\vec C(t) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}
         a_{m} \, e^{-t/\tau_m} \, \vec v_m         \,,
\hfill\EQN 23}$$
where the $a_m$ are constants, and where $\tau_m$ is related to the
$m\hbox{-{th}}$ eigenvalue via \Eq{13}.
The values of the $a_m$ are determined from the initial conditions,
using the fact that the different eigenvectors $\vec v_m$ are
orthogonal.
In the experiments we are modeling,\cite{Bruist, 1996} the initial
conditions are such that all molecules begin with the branch point at
one position, adjacent to a reflective barrier created by a divergence
in the DNA sequences.
These initial conditions are represented by $\vec C(0) = C_0
\delta_{n,0}$.  Substituting this into \Eq{23}, taking the dot product
with $\vec v_{m^\prime}$ and using the orthogonality of the $\vec v_m$
yields
$$\EQNdisplaylines{
a_m = {4 C_0 \over 2N + 1}
        \cos({\pi \over 2} \, {(2m+1) \over (2N+1)} )
\hfill\EQN 26}$$

The experiments we model only measure the concentration of separated
molecules at a given time, not the number of molecules having the branch
point in a given position.  To compute this observable we take the
initial concentration, $C_0$, and subtract from it the sum over all of
the branched molecules left in the system.  This gives

$$\EQNdisplaylines{
F_N(t)
     = C_0  \Biggl\lbrack 1 - {2 \over 2N+1} \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}
        (-1)^m  e^{-t/\tau_m} \hfill \cr
\hfill{}\times
        {\cos^2({\pi \over 2} \, {2m+1 \over 2N+1}) \over
         \sin  ({\pi \over 2} \, {2m+1 \over 2N+1}) } \Biggr\rbrack
.\qquad\EQN 28\cr}
$$
Aside from the number of steps, $N$, there are only two free parameters
in this expression, $C_0$ and $\beta$ (which is related to the $\tau_m$ by
\Eq{13}).

\figure{Fig3}
\forceright \epsfxsize=\colwidth
\centerline{\epsfbox[20 90 550 450]{LAT96Fig3.eps}}
\caption{Difference between the best fit discrete and continuum measures
of the final product.}
\endfigure

\Fig{Fig2} shows measurements of the concentration of final product
(separated molecules) from an experiment using a DNA junction in which
the branch point must migrate 40~base pairs (bp) in one direction before
coming to the end of the strands.
The errors include systematic errors, not just statistical variations.
The curve in the figure is a non-linear least-squares fit to \Eq{28}
with $N=40$.
The fit is quite good.
One notable characteristic of branch migration is the ``lag'' at the
beginning of the experiment---no material is produced as final product
for several minutes after the experiment has begun.
The theoretical curve reproduces this behavior well.

Is it possible to see the discrete nature of the motion of the branch point?
In particular, can we tell the number of base pairs traversed in a
single step of branch migration?
Unfortunately, the answer is no.  The data in
\Fig{Fig1} are also fit well by \Eq{28} with $N$ anywhere between 4 and 40,
as well as by the analogue of \Eq{28} obtained from
continuum diffusion.  \Fig{Fig3} shows the difference between
$F_N(t)$ from \Eq{28} and $F(t)$ obtained from continuum diffusion
(assuming the same $C_0$).
Except for very short molecules,
the differences are smaller than the size of present experimental
errors.
Nevertheless, \Fig{Fig3} shows that the discrete nature of branch
migration will be most noticeable within times less than $\tau_0$.
This is useful knowledge for designing future experiments.
We therefore expect that our discrete model will lead to a better
understanding of the underlying dynamics of branch migration.

Dynamic pricing start-up Broker Genius raises $15m
The New York-based company has won a vote of confidence – and eight figures' worth of series-A investment – from VC firm Volition Capital
By Jon Chapple on 10 Nov 2017

Broker Genius, a New York-based developer of dynamic pricing technologies for ticket resellers, has raised US$15m in series-A funding from Boston venture-capital firm Volition Capital.
The company, which to date has priced more than $2bn worth of secondary ticket inventory, will use the investment to grow the reach of its platform, which "automates a reseller's pricing strategy, leading to increased profitability and rapid growth".
IQ asked in December why (Ticketmaster Platinum aside) dynamic pricing – in which prices fluctuate based on market demand, as in sports and hospitality – hasn't yet taken off in primary ticket selling. While many believe the growth of secondary ticketing indicates most primary-market tickets are underpriced, Greg Loewen of Digonex said there is a view of "dynamic pricing as code for 'price gouging'", with artists concerned about "alienating their loyal fans with primary ticket prices that are perceived as too high".
"Volition Capital's investment will allow us, among other things, to continue investing in data science so we can more accurately forecast market trends"
There is, of course, no such concern in the secondary market, where artists and their representatives have no control over pricing; Broker Genius was formed after its founders realised "how much money was being left on the table when trying to price sports, concerts and theatre tickets".
CFO John Lucier says the new investment will allow the company to "continue enhancing and scaling our world-class pricing services" on behalf of its customers, who include the "world's largest ticket resellers".
"It has been an exciting period in our history," adds Broker Genius's CEO and founder, Sam Sherman. "The future of Broker Genius relies on constant innovation, which is centred increasingly around big data and machine learning. Volition Capital's investment will allow us, among other things, to continue investing in data science so we can more accurately forecast market trends and behaviours."

Q: Change float caption formatting My question refers to the floats specifiers. For instance, figures have specifier Figure #: Blah blah blah..., i.e., the type (Figure), the number (#), the colon (:), and then the caption (Blah blah blah...).
My question is: is there a way to change Figure 01: Blah blah blah... to Figure 01 - Blah blah blah...?! I mean, is it possible to replace the colon by the dash?

A: This type of thing is best achieved using the caption package. It provides many default features and customizations, as is shown in the example below:

\documentclass{article}

\setcounter{topnumber}{3}% Just for this example
\usepackage{caption}

% Define a custom caption separator for use with labelsep key-value
\DeclareCaptionLabelSeparator{dash}{~--~}

\begin{document}

\mbox{}% Put something on the page

\begin{figure}[t]
  \caption{A figure}% Default caption format
\end{figure}

\captionsetup
  [figure]% Float type
  {%
    name      = Image,
    labelfont = bf,
    textfont  = it,
    labelsep  = period
  }

\begin{figure}[t]
  \caption{Another figure}% New caption format
\end{figure}

\captionsetup[figure]{%
  labelsep  = dash
}

\begin{figure}[t]
  \caption{Yet another figure}% Use default with dash separator
\end{figure}

\end{document}

\captionsetup[<type>]{<key-value csv>} takes an optional <type> if you want the setting to be specific to a particular float. Without it, it would apply to all floats using the traditional \caption interface.

I would argue that standard scores, or z scores, are the canonical example of using an empty INCLUDE level of detail calculation to create record level compositions of aggregates and non-aggregates. Briefly, the standard score of n observations Xi subtracts the unbiased estimate of the mean from each observation, and then divides by the square root of the unbiased estimator of the variance.
An empty INCLUDE level of detail ensures the value of an aggregate is made available to each individual dis-aggregated record, while also computing the aggregate of the dimensions included in the view. In the case of the standard score we wrap the average, AVG, and sample standard deviation, STDEV, in empty INCLUDE level of detail calculations.
// the aggregates are computed over the dimensions selected on the worksheet.
Whenever I wrap an aggregate in an empty INCLUDE level of detail calculation I always cross validate in an appendix worksheet to ensure the aggregate is being calculated over the dimensions correctly.
Shifting and re-scaling observations by aggregates calculated from the sample itself is a widely used method in signal processing, time series and longitudinal analysis, auto-regression, and stochastic processes. A small example will be attached shortly.

The Metropolitan Building, originally known as the Northwestern Guaranty Loan Building, is considered to be one of the most architecturally significant structures in the history of Minneapolis, Minnesota.  It stood from 1890 until it was torn down starting in 1961 as part of major urban renewal efforts in the city that saw about 40% of the downtown district razed and replaced with new structures.  At the time, the pending destruction of the Richardsonian Romanesque building provided a catalyst for historic preservation movements in the city and across the state.

Early skyscraper

The building is considered the city's first skyscraper, with 12 stories and standing  tall.  Small observation towers poked up above the corners, and the rooftop had a popular garden.  It was built of green New Hampshire granite and red Lake Superior sandstone, with the interiors dressed in antique oak and beautiful ornamental iron and brass work by Crown Iron Works Company of Minneapolis.  A large skylight allowed the interior to be safely lit in a time when electric lighting was rare (though the building was eventually wired), and the floors of walkways circling the center court were translucent to allow more light to filter through.  Architect E. Townsend Mix designed the building, and it is considered to be his most notable achievement.  Many of the city's most prestigious companies had offices in the Metropolitan.

When it went up, the building was owned by the Northwestern Guaranty Loan Company. Louis F. Menage, founder, had gained a fortune while speculating on real estate in the Minneapolis area in the 1880s.  He spent $1 million on the project.  Many hailed the building when it was first completed, although some such as Cass Gilbert did not like the style.

Downfall
The Panic of 1893 caused Menage's company to collapse, and he fled the country.  Thomas Lowry, another major real estate speculator and the owner of the area's streetcar network, purchased the building but only held onto it for a little more than a decade before selling it to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in 1905.  This is where the building gained its "Metropolitan" name, even though it changed hands a few more times before succumbing to the wrecking ball.

There was little practical reason to tear down the building.  Records from the day indicate that it was safe and almost fully occupied at the time it was condemned.  The structure came down because it was in the wrong neighborhood—on the edge of the so-called Gateway District, sitting on the southwest corner of Third Street South and Second Avenue South.

Present day
Some giant marble stones from the building were found in an old warehouse in Delano, Minnesota in May 2010, and the owner of the building set off a frenzy when he emailed a small group of architects and historical preservationists in Minnesota who now are trying to find money and a way to save the stones.

The Ice House Plaza, which opened in May 2012, includes several blocks of stone salvaged from the Metropolitan Building. The plaza was designed and sculpted by sculptor Zoran Mojsilov, whose piece white angel is the focal point of the plaza. Located at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue in South Minneapolis, the public square has a fountain and benches made from remnants of the historic structure.

Under ESSA, states are required to have a 5th school quality or student success indicator. While many rejoiced in this requirement initially, it quickly became a challenge to figure out what type of indicators meet the proposed federal regulations, what type of indicator actually demonstrates school quality or success, and what data states already collect that could be used. One of the most challenging requirements is that the indicator must be able to be disaggregated by subgroups of students – so while teacher effectiveness might be a useful indicator, it would be difficult to disaggregate a teacher's effectiveness by subgroup for middle or high schools – since students attend many different classrooms with different teachers each day. Such an indicator could be used for elementary school grades, since students often stay with one teacher for most of the day. The proposed regulations do allow different indicators to be selected for different grade levels – as long as it's consistent across the state. The other major issue that states are running into is what data do they already have? And, is that data reliable and indicative of school quality or student success? Many districts collect additional data, but the same data may not be collected in the same way across the state.
This recent EdWeek article explains some of these issues, while also providing some initial thinking from a few states as they think through the implications of this 5th or "other" indicator. An important note is that states must use at least one "other" indicator, but they may use more than one as well. From what I've heard from states, many are leaning towards including chronic absenteeism, college or career readiness, and other school climate indicators as their "other" indicators. While states think through this new data source, it's also uncertain if the Department of Education will make any modifications to the proposed rules/regulations. The final rules should be released in late August or September.
This 5th or "other" provides states an amazing opportunity to redefine what a successful school is, but the implementation requirements may make it difficult to actually implement the intention in the timeframe states have to do so.

The new East-West conflict, which broke out over the Ukrainian crisis in 2014, but which long predated it and soon spread through Europe and to the Middle East, is potentially the worst US-Russian confrontation in more than fifty years and the most fateful. A negotiated resolution is possible, but time may be running out. In this book, renowned Russia scholar and media commentator Stephen F. Cohen traces the history of this East-West relationship in the 'Inter Cold War' period the years from the purported end of the preceding Cold War, in 1990-1991, to what he has long argued would be a new and even more dangerous Cold War. Cohen's historical and contemporary analysis is insightful, thought-provoking and essential reading for anyone seeking to understand relations between the West and post-Soviet Russia."
Stephen F. Cohen is a leading scholar of Russia, media commentator and author of several widely acclaimed books. He is Professor of Russian Studies and History at New York University and Emeritus Professor of Politics at Princeton. His books include Failed Crusade: America and the Tragedy of Post-Communist Russia, Soviet Fates and Lost Alternatives: From Stalinism to the New Cold War and The Victims Return: Survivors of the Gulag after Stalin (I.B.Tauris).

Prospect Retrospective: Juan Pierre
Juan Pierre was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 13th round of the 1998 draft, from the University of South Alabama. Assigned to Portland in the Northwest League after signing, he hit .352/.400/.402 in 64 games, stealing 38 bases, with 19 walks and only 11 strikeouts in 264 at-bats. I don't have a copy of my 1999 book with me right now (I'm writing this at Java Joe's Coffee House in Des Moines), so I'm not sure what grade I gave him or what my opinion about him was at the time. In retrospect, I think I would have given him something like a Grade C+ or B-. His speed and batting average would certainly look interesting, but could he repeat this at higher levels?
Pierre moved up to Asheville in the Sally League in '99, hitting .320/.365/.390 with 66 steals. Again, very impressive speed and batting average, with a low strikeout rate, but many guys like this fail to hit with authority at higher levels.
Promoted to Double-A Carolina in '00, Pierre hit .326/.377/.380 with 46 steals, virtually identical to his Class A numbers, in 107 games. He played 51 games for the Rockies in the second half, hitting.310/.353/.320 with 7 steals. He followed that up with a .327 mark for the Rocks in '01. The really interesting thing for Pierre is that he has continued to hit well since being traded to Florida. His numbers in Colorado were not the result of thin air, as his slap-and-scoot game has played just as well at lower altitudes.
Pierre's Major League numbers are very similar to what he did in the minors. Many similar speedsters find themselves overpowered at the Major League level, but Pierre has survived, even thrived. Part of this is likely due to his very low strikeout rates, which were certainly apparent in the minors. I remember being skeptical about his future at various times, but he's done quite well, and should continue to do so as long as his speed holds up.

MPP McDonell: Small businesses should take advantage of grant money

The MPP for the region is hoping more local businesses will apply for provincial grants that were made available in the fall.
Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, told the Standard-Freeholder that, so far, not very many companies are taking advantage of the dollars that are sitting there.
MPP McDonell: Small businesses should take advantage of grant money Back to video
"Maybe business owners aren't aware of it. . .not a lot of people are applying," he said.
That echoes what Premier Doug Ford said late in the year, that the province has only dispensed a fraction of the money from a $600-million fund meant to support closed businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Progressive Conservative government set aside $300 million for businesses forced to close or significantly reduce operations back in October, and later doubled the fund.
"We know companies have been suffering (during the crisis)," McDonell said. "We've allocated the money. . . this is meant for areas that the federal grants don't (cover)."
McDonell said small businesses can receive between $10,000 and $20,000, to go towards offsetting fixed costs such as electricity, property taxes, and personal protective equipment, while they're under restrictions.
Cornwall and area businesses may be eligible for more pandemic support
Loans available for Cornwall-area businesses
Ford said the distribution of the funds has been slowed by a lack of applications in the early on in the program, and McDonell this week said it hasn't picked up too much since then.
"A lot of our smaller companies could receive a minimum of $10,000," McDonell said.
Said Ford in December: "You have never heard any elected official say come and get the money, but there is $600 million there and nobody has taken us up on the offer. Folks, small businesses, please go online and take advantage of it."
The government again highlighted the available funding as details were being released just before Christmas regarding the current shutdown.
The support grant for businesses required to close or restrict services under the shutdown will be able to apply for this one-time grant, and the small businesses eligible include those that have experienced a minimum of 20 per cent revenue decline in April, 2020 compared to April, 2019.
Starting at $10,000 for all eligible businesses, the grant will provide businesses with dollar for dollar funding to a maximum of $20,000 to help cover decreased revenue.

News: An Unhealthy Vaginal Microbiome Can Increase Risk of HIV Infection
The presence of certain bacteria can indicate whether the vaginal tract is healthy or not. It could also impact the likelihood of acquiring certain sexually transmitted diseases, like HIV, a new study suggests.
Lactobacillus is the type of bacteria found most commonly and most abundantly in the vaginal tract of pre-menopausal women in the US. It has been shown to provide protection against pathogenic organisms by producing lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and bacteriocin. These compounds can prevent disease-causing bacteria from sticking to epithelia cells, slow their growth, or even kill them.
Now, a new report published in Immunity has shown that women in South Africa have several different types of vaginal bacteria, and those women with specific vaginal bacterial communities acquired HIV at higher rates than other women. That could mean that certain bacterial communities could be protective against the sexually transmitted infection.
As of 2015, an estimated 36.7 million people were infected with HIV worldwide. A much greater percentage of the population of Africa is infected than in any other country.

HIV can spread by contact with body fluids—blood, semen, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk from an infected individual. That means that sexual activities, drugs administered with a used syringe, and blood transfusions can all pass the HIV virus.
Despite treatments aimed at slowing the growth of HIV in the body, over 1 million people worldwide died from HIV infections in 2015.
How HIV Infections Take Hold
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a special category of viruses called retroviruses, which store their genetic material as RNA and then copy it into DNA (the genetic material of our cells). In our bodies, DNA is copied into RNA and those RNA strands are used to produce proteins.
HIV and other retroviruses go backwards: They pack a special enzyme called reverse transcriptase that reads the RNA code and turns it into DNA strands. Those strands are then incorporated into the the genetic material of the host cell, where they can live on until the cell dies. Once the virus is in the DNA of a person's cell, it uses the cell's own machinery to make copies of the virus. That cell may die from the infection, but it could also live on as a reservoir of the virus, continually reinfecting other cells in the body or hiding away for years before making someone ill.
In humans, HIV infects cells of the immune system, called CD4 lymphocytes. As the virus replicates, many of the infected cells die, greatly decreasing the function of the infected person's immune system and making it harder to fight off even weak diseases that healthy humans aren't affected by.
People infected with HIV may experience flu-like symptoms of fever, chill, rash, muscle aches, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, mouth ulcers, and night sweats. The only way to determine if someone is infected with HIV is with a blood test.

Usually a combination of several drugs, collectively called anti-retroviral drugs, are used to treat infections with HIV. The drugs act on different parts of the virus' replication cycle. For example, some inhibit fusion to host immune cells, some inhibit entry of the virus into the cell, and other drugs inhibit the reverse transcriptase needed for viral replication.
According to The Mercer University School of Medicine's HIV tutorial, where in the body an HIV infection takes hold depends on both the number of virus particles and the number of cells with CD4 receptors on them at the site of contact with the virus.
But scientists have observed that some people seem to be less vulnerable to infection with the HIV virus. Douglas Kwon and colleagues from the Ragon Institute and the MGH Division of Infectious Diseases, have released a report that sheds some light on one possible reason.
The Role of Vaginal Bacteria
Now, it appears that the bacteria making up the vaginal microbiome may also have a role in whether a woman becomes infected with the HIV virus. The vaginal microbiome is the community of bacteria that inhabit the vaginal tract.
The research team designed a study to determine whether the types of bacteria present in the vaginal tract affected the risk of HIV infection.
The researchers studied 236 18-to-23 year old women in Umlazi, South Africa. Participants had their blood drawn for HIV virus testing periodically and had a pelvic exam every three months. During the pelvic exam, swabs were taken from different parts of the genital tract and the bacteria found were characterized in the laboratory.

The vaginal tract bacteria of 10% of women were dominated by Lactobacillus crispatus, and 32% were dominated by Lactobacillus iners. The rest of the women had diverse microbiomes consisting of several types of bacteria, where lactobacilli was sparse. The samples were either dominated by Gardnerella vaginalis or several bacteria such as Prevotella, Gardnerella, Shuttleworthia, Sneathia, and Megasphaera.
Even though the women received intensive counseling about HIV infection and transmission, 31 women acquired HIV during the study, while 205 did not.
The results showed the women with diverse vaginal tract microbiomes had a significant increase in HIV infections compared to women with whose vaginal samples contained mostly L. crispatus . None of the women whose predominant vaginal microbiome contained L. crispatus became infected with HIV, but 32-39% of the women with diverse bacterial communities that were low in lactobacilli were infected.
The Vaginal Microbiome Can Tell Us a Lot About Our Health
Types of bacteria also correlated with genital inflammation, measured by CD4 cells. L. crispatus and L. iners were associated with reduced inflammation and CD4 T cell numbers are higher in women with high-risk bacteria. Higher CD4 numbers could indicate that more cells were available for the HIV to attach to and infect.
The contents of the vaginal microbiome appeared to be a risk factor for HIV infection and the authors said their findings "underscore the importance of developing more effective regimens that achieve a sustained alteration of the genital microbiome since this could potentially reduce HIV acquisition."
From what we know about the vaginal microbiome, it may be possible to increase the number of lactobacilli that live there. In the future, perhaps it will be possible to develop supplements to help women ward off infections, though that's not in the pipeline yet.

CREA offers software used in over 1,000 cinemas across the country.
The Easter holiday and an extra full weekend at the end of the month lowered March sales activity and the absence of these factors in April helped sales for the month," said CREA Chief Economist Gregory Klump.
Fourthly, we compare the results of the DRAE and the CREA as well as the degree of agreement between these two tools as regards inclusions and acceptance of Anglicisms and false Anglicisms in our sample.
That is why we challenged ourselves to create this paperless branch, and we shared this challenge with CREA International.
Massimo Fabbro, founder and CEO of CREA International, gave a presentation on the different design aspects of the concept branch, and explained how the space was used to support the transparent and open workflow at all times.
CREA Farm Link advisers who helped the Booths were business adviser Chris Stables and environmental adviser Reg Hesketh.
CREA hosted an open house for him, and members worked on phone banks for him, put signs in their yards, and talked Rob up in daily exchanges in the community.
However, the El Paso Chamber is only one of many organizations in the region using the CREA as a tool to aggressively pursue the NAFTA opportunities.
We are excited to work with CREA on this important initiative," said Saul Klein, senior vice president, Point2.
Our work relationship with CREA is outstanding, unique, and enlightened," enthuses district Human Relations Director Ann Feldmann.
In concrete terms, the aim of the CREA initiative is to establish a system of sharing risks, between the Commission and business operators, of seed capital costs, that is the level of investment needed for business start-ups.
There would seem few safer havens than the 5,000-seat CREA on Sunday afternoon, where Dorados -- nobody seems to like the name, nor the affiliation from which it springs -- takes on Coatzacoalcos in Mexico's Primera Division A, the second tier of pro soccer south of the border.

Crowd risk analysis
Click�here�for information on our eLearning version of "Introduction to Crowd Science"
Chapter 2 - Crowd risk analysis (extract)
"A wise man learns by the mistakes of others, a fool by his own."�(Latin Proverb)
�"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so".�(Douglas Adams)
One of the more interactive demonstrations we use in the workshops is a series of density experiments using a fixed area. These are important for the delegates to understand both the physical (number of people per square metre) and psychological (how it feels) factors in crowded spaces. The experiments illustrate a common failure in event planning: the temptation to focus on capacity and not on how the spaces are going to be used. We may, for example, have a vast area available for an event but still experience crowd crushing problems if the stage area is badly designed, or entry and exit systems are not suitable arranged, wide enough or have sufficient throughput capacity. Those kinds of problems can occur at pinch points in and around the event site. In this chapter, we shall build up a series of models for both static and dynamic spaces; areas where the crowd is predominantly stationary (static) and where it is predominantly moving (dynamic) to assist the event planner, licensing officer and operations teams to recognise crowd risks.
If we examine the underlying causes in worldwide crowd related accidents we observe that there are some fundamental (root/distal) elements in common. In all cases accidents/incidents don't just happen - there is always a cause. Typically, the underlying cause is a lack of awareness of the problems related to crowd density and crowd flow. High density produces a interpersonal force that, if left unchecked, can be fatal. See this page for further information.
Crowd forces
"Crowd forces can reach levels that almost impossible to resist or control. Virtually all crowd deaths are due to compressive asphyxia and not the "trampling" reported by the news media. Evidence of bent steel railings after several fatal crowd incidents show that forces of more than 4500N (1,000lbs) occurred. Forces are due to pushing, and the domino effect of people leaning against each other.
"Compressive asphyxia has occurred from people being stacked up vertically, one on top of the other, or horizontal pushing and leaning forces. In the Ibrox Park soccer stadium incident, police reported that the pile of bodies was 3m (10ft) high. At this height, people on the bottom would experience chest pressures of 3600-4000N (800-900lbs), assuming half the weight of those above was concentrated in the upper body area.
"Horizontal forces sufficient to cause compressive asphyxia would be more dynamic as people push off against each other to obtain breathing space. In the Cincinnati rock concert incident, a line of bodies was found approximately 9m (30ft) from a wall near the entrance. This indicates that crowd pressures probably came from both directions as rear ranks pressed forward and front ranks pushed off the wall.
"Experiments to determine concentrated forces on guardrails due to leaning and pushing have shown that force of 30% to 75% of participant weight can occur. In a US National Bureau of Standards study of guardrails, three persons exerted a leaning force of 792N (178lbs) and 609N (137lbs) pushing. In a similar Australian Building Technology Centre study, three persons in a combined leaning an pushing posture developed a force of 1370N (306 lbs). This study showed that under a simulated "panic", 5 persons were capable of developing a force of 3430N (766lbs)."� From Fruin�Causes and Prevention of Crowd Disasters
Brief history of crowd disasters
Over the last 27 years there have been a number of significant crowd related disasters. Below is a short list (but not all). We reviewed the factors/elements of these disasters to understand how they occurred and how to anticipate/prepare/prevent similar incident occurring int he furtutre. The DIM-ICE risk model can be adapted to improve understanding of causality in accident/incidents and how we can develop better teaching programme to try and prevent future accidents that have similar underlying causes. That is it's purpose, risk analysis (using the historical framework as a reference).
As we can see from the above there is a high percentage of design related disasters - these are typically where there are more people that the space can�accommodate safely. Like trying to pour a quart into a pint pot….it won't fit, it will overflow.
One of the key elements of crowd modelling is to understand the capacity of the space, how quickly it will fill and what time it will take to reach critical density. This does not need complex�computer simulations as a simple first pass capacity�analysis gives us clear indications whether a system will work (or needs a radical design change). In essence, if a system fails a first pass approximation, then it should be rejected and alternative solutions need to be investigated.
Crowd risks are dynamic
I've been involved in a number of expert witness cases, both UK and USA. I have also worked in Saudi Arabia (Civil Defence/Hajj projects) and specialise in crowd safety and risk analysis. Crowd risks are dynamic as the risks can change over time, sometime very quickly, often too quick to react (unless you are aware of the potential for harm). Crowd risks are dependent on a number of factors and influences. So understanding how risks change with time is fundamental to the development of a robust crowd management plan.�
As I teach around the world a common theme I come across is:
We don't know how many people may come to this event?
How do we monitor/count people for large gatherings?
I've developed a few tools/techniques/methodologies - but it's really down to the basics.�Planning, planning, planning!
You don't know how many people may come - first assess the maximum capacity then prepare a plan for 50% of that number, 100% of that number and 500% of that number. Compare the degrees of risk on each option. Have a SEPARATE plan for each option. Don't try and put all the plans into ONE massive book of words - break down the problems into phases (ingress-circulation-egress). Section these in an event manual, divide your event into time zones (as the event plays out different things occur). Lay out the manual like a storyboard evolving as the event would evolve.�Make it a readable document. Illustrate it with site pictures and diagrams of crowd movement.�Things that seem SO basic that it never fails to amaze me when I see those delegate "light bulb moments".�
Most importantly the concept of "risk" is generally considered as a value (likelihood x consequence = risk).�But risk is dynamic. Risks can change with time.
When I ask the question "How do you evaluate risk?" the reply is often�
"we have a consultant who does that" or�
"our safety officer does that job"�
Risk management is a process from identifying the risk through to managing, reducing, or eliminating the risk. This requires risk ownership - specifically who measures, monitors, manages and mitigates your risks?�Risk is not a STATIC value - it has a dynamic nature.�
How do you assess different types of risks as they evolve over time?
How are you assessing the degree of risk in dynamic environments?
What metrics do you use for risk assessment?
I know that there are risks that are static (i.e.: can be assigned a single value), but do you differentiate static and dynamic risks in your environment? How to you identify these risks in your risk assessment, do you use a single value for both static and dynamic risks? Should you differentiate - if not why not?
Doesn't�that seem a bit obvious?
By way of an example (from my own field of expertise) risk of trips, slips and falls is zero before an event starts (no crowds), then this risk becomes higher at the entry points (depending on terrain, numbers of people, entry system etc) then lower again (but not zero) during an event (internal crowd movement around a site) and higher again during egress. Risk of trips, slips and falls becomes suddenly very HIGH during an emergency egress.
However, typically, the risk (trips, slips and falls) only shows on risk assessment as one numerical�(static)�value.�
There is no dimension of time and there are typically no references to specific conditions, or times as they relate to scales of this particular risk.�If we consider just this simple example of trips, slips and falls - it is best described as a series of maps. I'd call that a�qualitative risk map - something that I can see the location, time, duration and severity of the risk (Red, Amber, Green is sufficient) on a map. I typically�produce different maps for different time, making sure that the risk is illustrated and shown as a dynamic,�changing, risk.
Each map should show where the risks are in time (each map showing a different time 9am, 10am, 11am etc) and each map coloured (red-amber-green for high, medium, low) by location. I teach these basic principles to illustrate how risk can evolved, suddenly change, and it, by its very nature - dynamic....not a static value.�My question to the delegates on my workshops and lectures are typically:
How do you differentiate static and dynamic risks in your environment?
How do you communicate these types of crowd risks in your risk assessment?

About the Vale of Rheidol Railway
In 1957, the Talyllyn Railway became the first UK railway to issue its own railway letter stamps. Such labels were popular as souvenirs for the railway's visitors, but also performed a postal function, paying for the carriage of mail via the railway's own letter delivery service.
Many other heritage railways followed suit with their own issues, including the Vale of Rheidol Railway from 1970, whose services connect Aberystwyth with Devil's Bridge. This particular railway was unusual in that it was not an independent heritage operation like most others that ran its own railway letter service, but part of British Rail until finally being privatised in 1989. This is why Vale of Rheidol stamps typically featured the famous British Rail double-arrow logo.
The final Vale of Rheidol stamp issue was produced in 1985, and as of 2018, only the Talyllyn Railway, Ffestiniog Railway and Nene Valley Railway are understood to still be running a railway letter service. For details of all Vale of Rheidol issues, see the excellent Philatelic Compendium website.

Q: Can you upgrade a virtualenv while in venv? I was in venv in Ubuntu 14.04, and before I thought it over, I used the sudo apt-get upgrade command while in venv. Now I want to know if it is a true upgrade of my virtualenv or not and do I need to fix it?

A: A Python Virtual Environment ("venv") does not affect applications unrelated to Python.
It only adds the bin/ directory of the venv which contains its executables to the front of your PATH variable. This causes a command look-up for e.g. python to resolve to that instead of the system's executable. Additionally it changes some other environment variables and aliases used by Python.
None of these changes should break apt-get and it's impossible that they affect the way how system packages are managed.
To conclude, it is safe to run apt-get or similar stuff while operating in a Python Virtual Environment.
If you want, you can examine the bin/activate script in your venv's directory which you use to enter the virtual environment. That way you can see exactly what gets changed.

A: Yes only if you have created the virtualenv using the --system-site-packages option.
Running sudo apt-get upgrade upgrades system Python packages (prefixed with python- for Python 2 packages and python3- for Python 3 packages) that you have previously installed using apt-get. If your virtualenv is created using the --system-site-packages option, then it uses the system Python packages and does not have its own site packages. In this case, sudo apt-get upgrade upgrades your virtualenv in the sense that the system Python packages it uses are upgraded.

The Program for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities (Part C of IDEA) is a federal grant program that assists states in operating a comprehensive statewide program of early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities, ages birth through age 2 years, and their families.
Congress established this program in 1986 in recognition of "an urgent and substantial need" to:
enhance the development of infants and toddlers with disabilities;
reduce educational costs by minimizing the need for special education through early intervention;
minimize the likelihood of institutionalization, and maximize independent living; and,
enhance the capacity of families to meet their child's needs.
In order for a state to participate in the program it must assure that early intervention will be available to every eligible child and its family. Also, the governor must designate a lead agency to receive the grant and administer the program, and appoint an Interagency Coordinating Council (ICC), including parents of young children with disabilities, to advise and assist the lead agency. Currently, all states and eligible territories are participating in the Part C program. Annual funding to each state is based upon census figures of the number of children, birth through 2, in the general population.

HOWLAND RETURNING TO MAINE TO FACE ROSADO AT NEF 41
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Portland, Maine (September 23, 2019) – New England Fights (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland, Maine on November 9, 2019 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, "NEF 41: Collision Course." Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur women's bantamweight bout to the card. Megan Rosado (3-1) is scheduled to face Andrea "Renegade" Howland (2-1) at a fight weight of 135 pounds.
After losing her debut to top prospect Glory Watson (6-0) at "NEF 36" in November 2018, Megan Rosado has been on a roll, winning her last three in a row. In her second bout, she won a split decision over Amanda Bennett (0-2) last spring at "NEF 38" in Portland. This past summer, Rosado defeated Sarai Knapp (0-1) at "NEF 39" in Lewiston, Maine via technical knockout in the first round. And, most recently, she was victorious over Rachel Reinheimer (2-3) on a fight card in Massachusetts, again by first round technical knockout. Rosado represents Evolution Athletix of Saco, Maine.
"I'm excited to be back fighting in the NEF cage," said Rosado. "We've always been fortunate enough in getting an opponent with this venue, which is really awesome. So thank you to Matt (Peterson, NEF co-owner and matchmaker) and my coach Nate (Libby, head coach of Evolution Athletix) for getting me a matchup! I've never officially met Andrea before, but I was there when she fought Taylor Thompson at NEF in April. Andrea's definitely a well-rounded fighter and she fights pretty tight. I'm excited to fight someone with similar skill as me. It's always a great fight when both girls are comfortable everywhere in the cage, and I have no doubt we're both going to throw down and put on a show for y'all! November 9th can't come fast enough. I'm coming for that fourth win in a row, LFG!"
Andrea Howland last appeared in the NEF cage this past April when she challenged for the vacant NEF Amateur Women's Bantamweight Title against Taylor Thompson (4-1). Howland will be looking to bounce back from her loss that evening. She won her first two MMA bouts in 2018, both by decision. Howland fights out of Walled, Michigan and represents Michigan Top Team based in Southfield, Michigan.
"I am beyond excited to return to Maine to fight again for NEF," said Howland when reached for comment. "I had an amazing experience in my last appearance and despite the loss, I believe I've grown the most since my last fight at Aura. Megan Rosado is a committed competitor, and I made a vow to no longer even pursue easy fights let alone book them, so she's exactly the challenge I have been looking for. I believe she is a natural athlete and shows a lot of promise as a top bantamweight prospect. I think our matchup will be an exciting one for the fans. I am looking forward to a tough training camp to prepare once again to put on a show in front of the awesome NEF fans."
New England Fights' next mixed-martial-arts event, "NEF 41: Collision Course," will take place on Saturday, November 9, 2019 at Aura in Portland, Maine. Tickets are on sale now at www.auramaine.com.


Saturday Night Live has added another black woman to the cast to stand alongside Leslie Jones. According to CNN, actress Ego Nwodim will be making her debut on the 44th season.
Now I know you're wondering, this is great for black women in comedy, but who is Ego Nwodim?
Nwodim isn't new to the small screen. She also appeared on Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Brothers and CBS shows Living Biblically and 2 Broke Girls. This is a major resume boost for comedienne, as this is first role on a major network. Her IMDb page says that she has been acting since 2012. Nwodim graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in biology. She has been on her own one-woman show, Great Black Women … and Then There's Me. She was also a regular cast ember at the UCB Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.
Nwodim revealed that she is joining the cast on her IG page and said she is in New York currently, most likely gearing up for her debut.
"Would you look at God!! Thank you for all the kind messages of support. I love you. I'm already in NY, but I'll be back in LA soon enough to give all y'all hugs," she wrote.
Saturday Night Live premieres on September 29th on NBC with Kanye West as the musical guest.
