Here's what you can expect from your personal training program: Session One - Activity Readiness Profile (60-minutes) During your first session we will meet to assess your health history, review your dietary habits, and discuss your health and fitness goals. Session Two - Fitness Assessment (60-minutes) The health and fitness assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to; 1) Establish baseline information for future comparison; 2) Assist in designing your personalized exercise program and; 3) Track objective, measurable results over time. The assessment includes: Body weight, waist measurement, blood pressure, body fat analysis, strength, cardio, and flexibility tests. Session 3 - Program Presentation (60-minutes) During this session we will review your fitness program and introduce the strength training, cardiovascular, and flexibility exercises. We will focus on proper form, movement education, and muscle recruitment, while teaching you how to monitor your intensity. Each personal training session thereafter will challenge your overall fitness while providing with the knowledge you need to continue seeing amazing results.
What's the best diet and workout plan? The one you will stick with! Results require consistency. Most of us can't stick with a program long enough to see the benefits. My job is to design a program you can actually follow long term so that you see results! My programs are custom designed for you based on your own unique goals, preferences, physical abilities, time constraints, and metabolism. I spent a lot of time on goal setting and motivation coaching as these are the ultimate determinants of success.
Trainer Tenicia (T.) Trask brings the gym to you! Able to come to your home, office, or gym and offer personal fitness training that focuses on the points you want to improve. T. uses a mix of Pilates, Resist-a-Ball, weight and strength training, and Zumba and dance to bring a balanced routine that is appropriate to each individual.
One step at a time. First we will meet to determine your health status and any possible concerns that we may need to take into consideration when designing your personalized fitness program. During this meeting we will establish your fitness goals which will also help us to determine your fitness program. Next we will gather information that will provide us for comparison as we progress in weeks of training. Also we will determine days and times that you are available to dedicate to exercising each week. The information gathered will help to design the personalized fitness program. When all finished your program will be ready to go and executed. We will begin training in our first session which will not only be a physical workout but will also be educational session to help you understand what exercises we will be doing and why we will be doing them. All following session will be designed to push you to your physical and mental limits while executing correct form for quick results.
We our clients are an extension of our families.
With 15 years experience, I implement a no nonsense approach to training, my fitness programs are designed to deliver each client visible, long term results by helping them build bodies that are leaner, stronger, and more functional, resulting in a stronger inner and outer YOU! For Youths, I implement diverse and fun training routines specifically designed for Youths that prove results and keeps them motivated.
Aim and strive to be ultimate!
My workouts comprise of functional training, plyometrics, core strengthening, boxing, kettlebells, calisthenics, and athletic performance. My motto is " Aim and strive to be ultimate always!". My goal for my clients is to be powerful spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
It does not matter if you are one on one or in a group training, all my clients programming is personalized according to their assessment.
People who are seriously interested in getting in the best shape of their lives. Whether you have never worked out in your life I can help you achieve your goal. My job is to set challenging, believable, achievable goals within a specific time frame, then put them down on paper so now they become measurable. You are what you eat and proper food intake plays a significant role. About 70 percent of your success is going to be from the things you eat so I also provide nutritional consultations along with weight training and I show you how to burn fat more efficiently while doing your cardio. Don't feel like you have to make all of the changes overnight. Remember living healthy is a lifestyle. I'd rather you take things slowly and stick to your plan for the long term than to dive in and quit because it was too hard. The more positive changes you make in regards to your eating habits, the better you will feel and the more energy you will have to happily continue you quest for optimal health. The third aspect of ensuring your results is the accountability factor, and accountability over time works out to be consistency. We know that in anything, if we are not consistent, we are not going to be successful. Motivation ties into this because I instill in you a greater degree of commitment to accomplishing your goals. Motivation is the difference between accelerated results and just kind of moving along at a slow rate and I'm sure you're like everyone else and you prefer results sooner than later. Proper technique also plays a big role. First to avoid injury and second, if you aren't doing things correctly you will not be able to get the optimal benefits from the exercises or for your time. The benefits of personal training are endless, but I will single out a few: a better, longer life through exercise; an education that will stay with you for the duration of your life; better self esteem; a positive impact on your personal relationships; better performance at work; more energy; healthy meal planning; and lower stress levels. This is just a portion of the benefits. The possibilities are endless.

My training method is unique in that I'm constantly introducing something new and challenging into my workouts. I work with time, repetition, agility, speed, power, strength and more. No two workouts are ever exactly the same so that you never burn-out and you're constantly improving your overall fitness level.
My training method involves the needs and goals of the client. I take the time not to only find out what the client's fitness goals are but also the why beneath the why. What is the client's motivation for reaching this goal. I like to tailor the program for the client's specific needs by first having an initial assessment interview.
My sessions are usually higher intensity (depending on the client and goals) I like to keep the work outs fresh, no 2 work outs are exactly the same. I like to improve overall balance and functional strength first. I also do live training via a webcam and I have a fitness app starting at $9 a month, visit my site for more INFO.

Westchester Trainer Ready to Help You!
I am a nationally certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Specialist working in Westchester County. I have trained many clients over the last 10 years, by creating customized steps that will assist you in achieving your health and fitness goals.
All workouts include constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity. They are of a CrossFit/circuit training format, and focus on three main types of exercise: metabolic conditioning (cardio), bodyweight/gymnastics movements and weightlifting. While these are all components of the workout, I'll always incorporate movements/exercises relevant to the activities you enjoy, i.e. sports or any other outdoor activities.
I am a celebrity fitness trainer and International Bestselling Fitness and Health author. My books, The Body Sculpting Bible and fitness system, are regarded as one of the most famous fitness book franchises and systems, in history.
I will help you achieve muscular performance, movement efficiency and better posture.
Safety is my number one concern when I train my clients. Slow movement reduces force, improves muscle fiber recruitment and allows for deep muscular stimulation.
I take your goals serious and am willing to work with anyone no matter what the goals as long as you come motivated and ready to work. Other personal trainers and programs nurture short-term, impersonal client relationships. I like to focus on establishing a foundation in order for you to create healthy habits/educate you for the long term.

My name is Aisha Prielozny and I have spent the last 14 years creating and building a strong fitness base for my clients and quickly built a successful reputation as one of New York City's most sought after fitness experts. I have certifications from 12 different personal training certifying agencies including, NASM, ACE, NETA, AFAA. My main objective is to make you healthy to get back your full range of motion with full rehabilitative and stretching assistance.

My main objective is to figure out what motivates you and how to make the transformation process as fun as possible.
While I do still offer individual sessions, I recommend that you make a commitment to yourself, and to your program by considering a six week, 18 session package. I guarantee results in six weeks, or I will refund your money . Optimum physical fitness is not something that can be obtained, or LOST overnight. What sets me apart from other fitness professionals is my education in Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesiology, and Psychology in addition to my years of experience. I do more than train and coach. I teach you how to adjust your metabolism, and I teach you the science behind WHY you must do things, rather than just telling you to do them. It is much easier for you to do something that you are not used to doing if you understand the physical benefit behind it, than it is to do something simply because your trainer says to do it. I educate my clients, so that when they are ready to go work on their own, they have a plethora of knowledge and skill for the fit and healthy lifestyle they will be leading for the rest of their LONG lives.

New York has been proclaimed the city that never sleeps so it no surprise that the personal fitness industry there does not either. With personal trainers and fitness instructors in New York discovering new and inventive solutions to combat weight loss and provide state-of-the-art workout equipment and routines so that you can get the most advanced training possible. With an abundance of fitness options to choose from you may feel a bit overwhelmed, but do not fret. Seeking the counsel of a personal trainer will reduce your stress and apprehensions while it strengthens your chances of succeeding at the particular goals you have tasked for yourself.
People today mostly view New York as a modern day Gotham, a metropolis, but it is so much more than that. North of Albany and just south of the Canadian border is this countries most prodigious national historic landmark, the Adirondack Park. It is more expansive than Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, Glacier Park, Yellowstone, and the Great Smokey Mountains National Park combined (that's approximately 6.1 million acres)! There are an inexhaustible amount of activities to participate in there depending on your experience, motivation, and curiosity. Whether you partake in any of the excursions available with family, a friend, a personal instructor, or perhaps solo is completely up to you.
South of Adirondack Park is the Hamptons. The Hamptons are home to some of the the world's elite and is a three to four hour drive from Manhattan (30 minutes if you're traveling by private jet). Here you are certain to find several highly qualified fitness training facilities to get you in shape for swimsuit season. There are also personal trainers who do private lessons in the comfort of your home.
In Manhattan you will be fascinated not only by the artistry and architecture, but simply by the sheer magnitude of the city as well. While you could hail a cab, most people prefer to take the subway or walk. With so many sights to see (the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Empire State Building, the Museum of Modern Art, and the New York Stock Exchange to name of few) you will be exercising and burning calories without even realizing it. Manhattan has a large selection of personal trainers and physical exercise facilities to accommodate and facilitate your weight loss goals no matter your fitness level. Working out with a personal trainer while overlooking Time Square or jogging around Central Park's reservoir are only a couple of ways to experience what New York's fitness community has to offer.

Kill the Irishman is a biographical movie about real-life gangster Danny Greene. A few details are fictionalized, but it is largely accurate. It is not glamorous, though it does depict him doing some good deeds. Whether he did them just for PR or from sincere motives, I don't know. In both the film and real life during the period covered, there were a startling number of bombings. Despite having many prominent actors in the cast, it was not a box office success. Nonetheless, I found it to be quite good. 8.5/10
It may be viewed for free at Tubi.

I watched Bone Tomahawk earlier today, its a western horror movie made in 2015...Kirk Russell plays a frontier town sheriff as one of the main characters dealing with cannibal indians...I only heard about this movie recently and thought it was pretty good, a bit gory at one point of the movie, but I'll give it a 7/10...

Dark City (1998) - 8/10
Dark City has a fantastic, well thought-out plot, the first 3/4 of this movie is engrossing and entertaining, but then sadly the last 1/4 is a let-down. In a movie where every line of dialog counts, that ending is a fatal wound that leaves the audience confused with the way everything unfolds. The start of the movie is slow but gets the momentum as the movie progresses. How the protagonist solves the mystery is so great, how he puts the pieces together is intelligent and thrilling. Dark City has an interesting philosophical premise executed very well. Outstanding visual effects, good story overall and a great cast. Worth watching!

Over the weekend we watched this movie. The events of Sept 11th happened before any of my kids were born. It's the story of heros two men caught in events so massive so beyond anything we could envision.
One powerful moment comes near the end.
Where did the buildings go?
There gone will their gone.

MirrorMask - 9/10
Mirrormask is a truely beautiful film which feels unbelievably like a dream throughout. The perfect blending of practical and cgi holds up amazingly when viewed as an indulged art piece and a dialog that is remarkably natural and clever with lot of personality and uniqueness. The score was an exciting blend that never overpowered the visuals, yet always fit the mood and scene. The acting truly brought this movie together, blending the real and the imagined without ever becoming campy or stilted. Mirrormask is a magical film, beautiful to watch, highly immersive and overtly outstanding. I recommend everyone to see this movie!
Yep, this is the problem with many movies...spot in here:

I'm in the minority. I did not like this movie. The bad guys had so many chances to win. Even at the end. Nuke em from orbit. Jake should have been killed or shipped off planet. Why was his avatar not destroyed at the first sign of disloyalty? The bad guys lost because they did not deal with Jake in a swift manner.

Pretty good movie. Spanish, so it's a bit different to me. Kept our interest.

I never watched this movie until sometime last year and I thought it was awful...A couple friends kept nagging me to watch it, both were gushing over how great it was but I didn't see anything great nor outstanding about it when I finally watched it...I don't understand all the hype over this movie...I call it a 3/10 movie...

Looks like it is not such a minority after all. 3/10 sounds about right to me.

Taking another's time was Henry's way quite predictably and regularly of mixing up the schedule and sending aides and teachers amazingly back to their calendars for review of where they were. Teachers thought something was wrong as he screamed and acted out tantrums seemingly autistically communicating each upset. In fact, Henry was bright and bored, confined to a wheelchair and nonverbal. You could tell how bright he was by the way he timed his outbursts, by the twinkle in his eye, his smiles when no one was looking, and his understanding of everything that went on, including the politics if a teacher were only paying attention.
Henry was trapped like me and our other friends in a body that didn't work, without a voice, and with the system's conclusion that he was unintelligent so that no one had to educate him. Really bright and a party guy by nature, he wasn't afraid to go for maximum impact with his outbursts, since our teacher and her staff had no clue. Any awesome opportunity for impact was good. The class and outbound trips often revolved around Henry's entertainment.
Quite the opposite of Henry was Steve. Steve was always waiting while Henry got the attention. We saw Steve's wonderful intelligence in the way he waited to do something, and because there was never enough time to teach Steve, we saw him just give answers without preparation or explanation time after time. What we did wasn't rocket science ever, but with Steve you knew that if it was, he would have had those answers, too.
Under the worst of circumstances physically, particularly needing physical care, was waiting a mind of tremendous proportions. and everyone among we nonverbals passionately felt the waste. Every one of us in the community knew of the others' potentials, and none of us could reach out with language. Typing was forbidden if trained support were involved. I practiced thinking of speeches as I waited my turn, praying for a miracle to set me free.

Apache Marmotta graduated to top-level project
With "Apache Marmotta" Salzburg Research initiated an open "Linked Data Platform" that enables companies to profitably connect their data according to the conventions of the World Wide Web Consortium with the data on the Web. Applications of this open source technology include the integration of corporate data, semantic search, annotation and recommendation systems . In the meantime, developers from around the world joined the development team. Now Marmotta graduated from Incubator to top-level project of the renowned Apache Software Foundation.
Salzburg Research treated in recent years research-related issues in the framework of the "Linked Media Principles", and developed an open reference implementation: the "Linked Media Framework". At the same time a working group of the W3C prepared specification for a linked data platform, whose properties have not only been covered by the Linked Media Framework, but exceeded . Therefore, the core of the Linked Media Framework was extracted and started as "Apache Marmotta" at the Apache Foundation. This procedure guarantees legal certainty and support for the development and maintenance of the developer community and promotes sustainable development and evolution of open source software.
Apache Marmotta was launched in December 2012 as an incubating projekt and became a top level Apache project in November 2013. This is a recognition of years of intensive work in various research projects, which was pronounced by one of the largest and most important open source communities worldwide. In the so-called "incubation period" , the project must prove to meet the strict quality guidelines of the Foundation. This concerns both the copyright and license provisions of source code and libraries used, as well as dealing with the community and new developers. By enlarging and diversifying the developer team the software is provided on a stable, self – supporting basis.
Apache Marmotta is the second Apache top-level project driven by Salzburg Research in just 14 months. The open software is already in use: The Red Bull Media House uses the principles for search and navigation in the central content pool. The Department of Documentation and Archives of the Austrian Broadcasting Company (ORF) is supported in the annotation of documentary contributions. The newspaper "Salzburger Nachrichten" use Marmotta for search and recommendations on the platform salzburg.com involving a company's internal knowledge base.

I am not sure where my obsession with poppies has come from, but if this painting doesn't illustrate how much I love them, I don't know what will.
At 3 X 4 feet, it is the largest painting I have done in quite awhile. Digging it…big time.
I may do something more with the background, but otherwise I'm putting this poppy to bed!

What does divergent selection mean?
I understand what divergent evolution proposes, but can someone explain the divergent selection concept to me, and provide some example? Thanks!
Best Answer: Divergent evolution occurs because of divergent selection. The population is situated in an environment or combination of environments such that two different phenotypic characteristics are superior to all the others. So the individuals with one or the other of those characteristics leave more descendants, and eventually the population is composed almost solely of inviduals with one or the other characteristic. If this divergence is accompanied by a tendency for individuals that share a characteristic to interbreed among themselves, then the divergence may be the precursor to speciation.
For example, it's likely that at one point early multicellular organisms reproduced by releasing gametes of the same size into the water. When gametes fuse to form a zygote, it's better if one contributes nothing more than its genes, rather than also contributing organelles and other portions of its cytoplasm. This way there is less chance of disruptions due to incompatible proteins and the like. So there would likely have been divergent selection to produce only two types of gametes: those that were small and mobile and contributed only their genes (male gametes), and those that were large and had lots of stored nutrients and necessary organelles (female gametes). Individuals that produced gametes that were somewhere in between would have been outcompeted.
It is clear that some folks don't understand what is meant by "Reset Expectations." Obama's primary task, even more important than choosing his cabinet and staff, is resetting the expectations that we all acquired listening to his campaign promises. It's an art form of sorts which speaks to the numb-headedness of the average citizen. There is always an excuse available when an expectation needs to be reset and PE Obama doesn't seem to be having any trouble coming up with them. He's backed off from his "leave Iraq" stance. He's backed off from his new tax plan. He's backed off from his promise to fill the cabinet and his staff with people possessing divergent opinions. He's backed off from the promise of change by hiring the old guard. And his supporters still follow him and promote him here at Y/A. I don't see how the 2nd Amendment is safe in an Obama Administration regardless of what he said on the campaign trail. Heller is exactly what the NRA didn't want in the AG position, nor should anyone else that values the 2nd Amendment! I've never owned a gun, but I considered it after the election. Now it looks like I'll have to go buy one, or two, or ten! We on the conservative side have been watching to see if Obama "reaches across the isle" like he promised during his campaign so many times. Heller is his answer to us. Sigh... EDIT Jesse M.: The AG is in the drivers seat on this one I'm afraid. Think of it as the AG being the motorist and the Supreme Court as the traffic cop. The AG can manage an awful lot of speeding, running red lights, and vehicular wreckless endangerment without ever being stopped by the cop. Also, the AG is not limited to case law. He can also use statutory law from the US, any state's statutory law, English Common Law or even the Corpus Juris to argue a case if he chooses. He can also use Constitutional Law, but I don't think that would further his cause.
divergent selection means that a trait at either end of a spectrum has an advantage over the average.
A population of birds can eat either nuts or insects. Birds with a very thick beak can crack harder nuts. Birds with a very skinny beak can poke it into tiny holes that the insects hide in. Thus both have a competitive advantage over medium-sized beaks. If the population stops interbreeding, it will diverge into two species with very different beak shapes.
Disruptive selection acts on polymorphic traits of a population. This results in subpopulations with similar versions of the trait colocating in a portion of the habitat they can use optimally.
A population of plants has variation in its timing for flowering. Most plants in the population flower together so are the peak or average value for the trait. Both pollinators and nectar robbers adapt to the timing as do seed eaters.
Offpeak flowers escape seed-predation so are under disruptive selection or positive selection for asynchronous flowering patterns. This avoidance of seed predation offsets their risk of poor conditions occurring at the time of their flowering & seed dispersal. The offpeak flowering increases their fitness in habitats with heavy predation.
Synchronous flowering is stabilized by attracting communicative social pollinators like bees able to focus their foraging efforts. This mass flowering is a way to satiate pollen predators and nectar pirates while maximizing the chances of outcrossing with all possible mates ready to fertilize together.

TL;DR: In 24 hours, 1018 unique IPv4 addresses scanned 1167 different ports. Peaks are Telnet, SQL, and SSH. Few organizations, such as Shodan, are scanning in a structured way. Ping is only used by universities but not by port scanners at all. No single IPv6 scan.
Of course my lab scenario does not comply with a real study about Internet activity. For this you need a much longer duration with more ISP connections spread over the world. My test was just a small slice. However, at least it gives some basic knowledge about such Internet activities.
Since I am only using a private contract, I don't have static but dynamic (non-persistent) IP addresses. At least it is dual-stacked. During my test I got a single public IPv4 address (87.159.187.182) as well as a/64 IPv6 transfer segment (2003:50:aa7f:b2b5::/64 via RA, one address at the ISP facing interface) along with a /56 delegated IPv6 prefix (2003:50:aa32:b500::/56 via DHCPv6-PD). The four DNS servers (2x IPv6, 2x legacy IP) are not of interest here since no outgoing connections were established at all.
No single incoming connection via IPv6! Neither to the single IPv6 in the transfer segment on the Internet facing interface, nor to any of the addresses out of the /56 delegated prefix. Haha, the final proof that IPv6 is much more secure than legacy IP.
One thing I did not quite understand was the behavior of one single host that sent 833 packets to different high ports (> 45000), each with SYN,ACK and/or as TCP Retransmission. Is this part of a port scan or just a misconfigured device? AbuseIPDB lists this IP as "Search Engine Spider" from Google LLC.
I was not scanned like "one source scans all well-known ports" but rather "single sources scanning single ports" with peaks at Telnet and SQL.
There are a couple of organizations that regularly scan the whole Internet.
No single port scan was issued after a (successful) Ping. Ping was only used as a standalone "R U There" measurement mainly by university projects. This confirms my general approach that ping is no security flaw and must not be blocked by default anywhere.
Nobody scanned TCP port 25 (SMTP). This was unexpected to me.
Beside the ICMP unreachable messages my Fritzbox replied two times with a TCP RST, ACK (TCP stream 833 with dst.port 8089 and TCP stream 1003 with dst.port 1080). I don't know why.
Again, no single IPv6 scan was coming in. This was kind of expected due to the immense address space. However, there are quite some researches about v6 scanning such as "Advances in IPv6 Network Reconnaissance" or RFC 7707 "Network Reconnaissance in IPv6 Networks" by Fernando Gont that propose many techniques to scan the IPv6 Internet as well. In my case, the /56 delegated prefix out of Deutsche Telekom comes from a known range. Hence it would be possible to scan certain addresses out of this range in the future.

Thanks for sharing your fascinating research!
It's most likely that your ISP is blocking TCP/25 and that's why you didn't see any scans on that port.
I have some hints about those mystery ports: TCP/9000 is default for PHP-FPM, UDP/53413 could be some chinese CPE backdoor, and TCP/8545 could be related to Ethereum.
PS. I'm interested in that Profishark TAP device. Do you happen to know how big jumbo frames it support? Didn't find the info on a datasheet.
thanks for your hints. Sounds plausible concerning port 25.
I don't know details about jumbo frames on the ProfiShark. But you can send them a mail. They are responding quite fast.
Be some odd "brute force" port knocking procedure. Basically to see if any port knocking like functionality is available?
that's what the trace file is for. ;) You can download it and find it by yourself.


IGLY & NITI is an international sales platform, based in Tel Aviv, for talented fashion designers from Russia and Ukraine. It represents and retails the collections of twelve young and promising fashion labels, showcasing the fascinating fashion world of the Black Sea countries. As a Russian (or Ukrainian if you may) this new site got me very excited. I chatted to the founder, Stav Vaingold.
The West has always shown great interest in and fascination with Russian culture. In Russian history, revolutions in fashion always coincided with the greatest political changes: from Peter the Great to the Revolution of 1917 to Gorbachev's Perestroika. Made popular around the world by Yves Saint Laurent's "à la Russe" collections and Russian ballet, the main elements of contemporary Russian style were born as a result of dramatic reforms. The past years have seen a surge of immensely talented designers in the Black Sea region. Their collections quickly found international acclaim, but were hard to come by. IGLY & NITY provides access to the fashion of some of the most exciting designers working in Russia and Ukraine today, hoping to assist in establishing Russian fashion all over the world.
RS: What makes Black Sea fashion so special?
I&N: I appreciate individuality in fashion. I'm not into trends. I actually hate them, because no one should follow trends in order to be stylish – which people normally do in our society. This is way I chose to go for the Russian and Ukrainian designers. I strongly believe that they are important in the new era of fashion, where there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style. There are eyes on Russian/Ukrainian fashion right now. Everyone can associate fashion with the established fashion capitals such as New York, Milan and Paris. However, in my opinion Russia and Ukraine are the next generation of talented fashion designers.
RS: What do you look for when searching for a new designer/ collection?
I&N: I have a few rules first rule is that I have to fall in love with a collection. It has to be love at first sight. Rule two is remembering that love isn't enough, after all I have to sell the collections, so getting the prices right are a crucial point when I am buying.
RS: How is Russian and Ukrainian fashion different from Israeli fashion?
I&N: First of all the weather plays a big part in this difference. Israeli women like to dress comfortably and lightly according to our warm climate. Russian girls love to layer their style is more elegant and classic, comfort is not the name of the game over there. I have to choose very carefully what can work for the Israeli woman from such Russian oriented collections – it's a great challenge!
RS: Tell us about Moscow and it's fashion scene.
I&N: The fashion scene in Moscow is amazing! I would say it's divided to two categories, one is more traditional and aiming to more established crowd, and the other is the "New Moscow", which include some young designers and labels who less expensive and more cutting edge designs. Moscow's fashion and night life scenes are very vibrant, there's is definitely a new wave of young talented people who are inspired by their background but aim to go global. I am sure they will succeed!
RS: Are Israeli girls excited about Russian Fashion? How do they wear it?
I&N: They sure are. I think it was surprising for local girls that Russian fashion is so progressive. It's a very well known fact even around here that Russian girls love fashion and they are always so stylish so this was one more proof of that fact. We buy very little from each collection and Israeli girls love the exclusivity of wearing such pieces.

"Ann Druyan, who's the co-writer of all three Cosmos from back in 1980, is the one common denominator that has been in each," deGrasse Tyson said. "Other staff has changed; the host has changed – I'm a different host from Carl Sagan. She is the creative engine behind how and why we take the science and make it relevant to who and what you are as a citizen of the planet and participant in civilization."

It seems like the overall message of the upcoming season is one of hope and encouragement. As long as humanity puts its differences aside, it can get down to protecting civilization -- the true test of our species. On the press line, Tyson was enthusiastic about the message of the show, saying it offers possible solutions, timelines and outcomes to the questions we need answered.

Meanwhile, the network has also hinted that Possible Worlds will once again bring together the infinitely huge and the infinitely tiny (one of the themes of the original program), by exploring the way in which butterflies' wings work, for example. Finally, the show will take a meta, hagiographic turn by looking at the early years of... Carl Sagan, the wonderful astrophysics popularizer and first presenter of the series. The new season will be released in spring 2019 – no specific date has yet been stated – and is good news for science, especially in the US.

Restraining Power from Below: The European's Constitution Text and the Effectiveness of Protection of Member State Power within the EU Framework
Federal Trust Constitutional Online Paper No. 14/04
See all articles by Larry Catá Backer

Date Written: July 2004
Multi-level constitutional systems institutionalize power-splitting arrangements among governments sharing power over territory and people. These arrangements produce a diffusion of sovereign authority among multiple partial sovereigns who together constitute the whole of a self-contained political community. Critical to the success of such arrangements is the effectiveness of protections afforded the residuary power holders. In the United States, structural protections of the residuary powers of the states have been characterized as a mere truism: not a grant of positive power to the States, but merely a provision of descriptive and reassuring value. Between 1789 and the present, application of the principle by the federal courts has produced both a flexible and efficient system of national governance in which the political accountability of federally elected officials serves as the primary source of the protection of federalism and a significant diminution of those residual powers in favor of the general government. Germany has allocated power a little differently to the federal government, providing a limited power for federal legislation to be vetoed by the Lander represented in the Bundesrat, and a monopoly in the Lander over the implementation of federal law. Since the adoption of the Grundgesetz the resulting system of cooperative federalism has preserved much Lander power over implementation but little power over legislation. The resulting system imposes obligations to consult among all levels of government if legislation is to be passed and implemented. In each case, constitutional text has served only as the starting point for the development of very different articulations of judicial visions of the constitutional state. The European Union, as a supra-national organization with multi-level constitutional characteristics, has avoided a strong adherence to either the German or American models of federalism. All the same, the Institutions of the E.U., the methods for enacting regulations, and emerging principles of legislative restraint (among the most well known of which is the principle of subsidiarity), have produced a system with substantial formal respect for Member State authority, a certain amount of inefficiency, and a historic tendency to encourage the migration of state power to the federal or general government. This has been accomplished through the articulation by the courts of a vision of the European Union that was not necessarily apparent from a reading of the Treaties. The proposed E.U. Constitution attempts to build a more formalized and institutionalized federalism on the foundation of the current system of European power sharing, but with more direct protections for Member State power. It is not clear that any amount of writing in a Constitutional document memorializing vertical power sharing arrangements can fully protect subordinate units of government against a shifting of power towards the center. This paper evaluates the efficacy of this proposed multi-constitutional arrangement to define and protect against erosion of the residual powers of the Member States. Using the experiences of the American and German federations, as well as that of the pre-Constitution E.U. as analytical templates, the paper suggests that no amount of textual protection of residuary authority, even in systems in which substantial power is retained by the constituent parts of the federation, can guarantee against the shifting of power from Member State to central government. The European Court of Justice, bounded by constitutional traditions that favor a German approach to constitutional interpretation, may instead adopt the nationalizing approach of the American courts in its interpretation of ambiguities and lacunae in the draft European Constitution's federalism provisions.

Now, in year 2012, we notice that Nature's organic systems have advanced .....and is sending social chemistry data signals in the economic format of credit card charges.
Nature's has economic accounting systems with the organic molecules of humans ..... humanoid thoughts of financial system structure. Could Nature create this organic economic system?
Let's consider organic chemistry as a parallel system with parallel financial EVENTs and ..... the Wall Street Journal newspaper as containing some messages on organic molecule activities VIA humanoid agents.
the metabolism-director of adults and their brain molecule activity .....such as financial decisions.
equation WORD: proxy = pro + oxy = Base 16 hexadecimal protons of the oxygen molecule with mass 32.
The bio-computer LUNG = LU + NG = Logical Unit Nitrogen Gas component ...with the LU addition of IBM bio-computer BASE 16 oxygen gas ...a component of Computer Earth system 370 and Boyle's laws of hexadecimal gases with COMPUTER WORD 32 molecular mass 32.
Thus we are saying...the meta-director concept ---> applies to metabolism ...thus the metabolism-director of organic molecule social life.......organic molecule political life ...and organic molecule economic activity.
The usage of a credit card takes place in the EXTERNAL world of humans ...shopping at a retail department store and making a credit card purchase.
The EXTERNAL accounting transaction gets mapped to the INTERNAL human biology...organic molecule world with Nature's accounting system.
Thus we see the CAUSE -->EFFECT as outlined by Herbert Spencer in year 1855.
Thus we see many secrets of modern economics.
The brain cell WALL --> WALL Street Journal news reports on INSIDER trading ...are about manipulation activities directly INSIDE the brain ....... using bio-computer molecular subroutine instructions to manipulate the brain computer logic unit. For this system to work...the FEDERAL and STATE governments have brain computer programmers that write brain PROGRAM instructions on how to think and behave. Probably most of this okay...since citizens do not care to think ...and need to have their brain VOID filled with some bio-computer instructions. The problem arises when a programming BUG occurs ....and everyone plays dumb ...and nothing is fixed.
The entire computer industry ..... never heard of the Base 16 hexadecimal shooting on April 16 at Virginia TECH.
Thus, we see the brain.... an organic molecule programmable bio-computer.
In the brain cell WALL --> WALL Street Journal newspaper we have the "TALE of 2 COX"

Thus we see mysteries of economics ..
Brain cell WALL --> inside the brain ...stock market transactions by symbolic life forms .....bio-computer subroutine ENTITIES that are implanted into the human brain VIA television,etc ...those ENTITIES then make the financial decisions on behalf of the puppet humanoids ...such as those living in puppet theater region of Marinette, Wisconsin that do not realize that 23 chromosome pairs exist and they live in NATURE's genetics war zone.
investor ---in + estor --> estor input to ester molecule economic systems using the equation..

Thus we see CLUES ...some pieces to an interesting puzzle.

Notification of acceptance will be sent out on January 15, 2000. Overview Researchers in many disciplines face the formidable task of analyzing massive amounts of high-dimensional and highly-structured data. This is due in part to recent advances in data collection and computing technologies. As a result, fundamental statistical research is being undertaken in a variety of different fields. Driven by the complexity of these new problems, and fueled by the explosion of available computer power, highly adaptive, non-linear procedures are now essential components of modern "data analysis," a term that we liberally interpret to include speech and pattern recognition, classification, data compression and signal processing. The development of new, flexible methods combines advances from many sources, including approximation theory, numerical analysis, machine learning, signal processing and statistics. The proposed workshop intends to bring together eminent experts from these fields in order to exchange ideas and forge directions for the future. It also intends to introduce the research topics to graduate students by providing travel support and by requiring the last speaker of each session to give an overview of the field. A Brief Survey of the Area Three ingredients are common to the new class of non-linear methods: Approximation spaces (wavelets, splines, neural networks, trees) or other simple probabilistic structures as building blocks for representations of statistical objects; Algorithms for identifying the "best" representation or combining several "promising" candidates; and Statistical frameworks to judge between competing representations. A key component in recent non-linear modeling efforts is the design of efficient representations for (complex) objects such as curves, surfaces and images. Here, efficiency often relates to the number of descriptors (i.e. basis functions or general predictors). This definition has parallels with recent results in approximation theory on n-term expansions and best basis algorithms. Similarly, in machine learning, the focus is on repeatedly applying weak-learners or relatively simple representations like the sigmoid function used in (artificial) neural networks or very shallow trees, known as stumps. On the other hand, new tools for image and texture analysis draw their representations from the human visual system, where efficiency might be evaluated in biological terms. Finally, graphical or hidden Markov models represent a distribution involving complex dependencies by connecting simple (conjugate) distributions in a hierarchical manner. In statistical problems, the search for the single "best" representation among a (potentially vast) number of competitors is really a problem in model selection. Applying these ideas in the context of approximation spaces, for example, has led to new wavelet shrinkage schemes and new methods for free-knot splines. Various selection criteria have been suggested in these problems, each with differing strengths and weaknesses, but none dominating all the others over a wide range of problems. Even with an agreed selection criterion, difficulties can occur in identifying the "best" representation as it is often a single element in an extremely dense candidate set which cannot be exhaustively searched. Efficient optimization methods need to be devised to overcome this problem. Rather than focusing on a single model, recent empirical and theoretical results have shown that we can achieve improved predictive performance by combining several competing representations. The Bayesian paradigm naturally leads to a framework for averaging models, and has been applied extensively in the context of approximation spaces. From a theoretical standpoint, these techniques depend quite strongly on the underlying prior assumptions, and understanding their performance is an area of active research. Other techniques for combining models have arisen in the machine learning literature, most notably boosting and bagging, and have proved to be extremely effective in practice. When working with massive amounts of data, a test or hold-out data set has been commonly used for judging competing procedures. The question of which evaluation criterion or loss function to use still remains. Some loss functions are more sensible than others in a particular problem, although the squared loss has been the most conventional. With the current computing power, it is believed possible to use more sensible loss functions, for example, the absolute loss for image processing. This, however, needs a consented effort of the research community to deviate from the norm. The proposed workshop is an ideal place to reach such a consensus.

Tax break changes for film industry aim to get N.J. ready for its closeup
A New Jersey Senate panel is backing a measure to eliminate caps on the tax credits intended to encourage movie and TV production in the Garden State.
Greater tax incentives would give studios more reason to bring their productions to New Jersey, saidChristine Peluso, an attorney with Tax Credits LLC, during a Monday budget hearing.
"It is less expensive to film here in New Jersey. Studios want to come here not only for feature film but also for TV," she said. "We could be the TV capital of the country."
The bill is necessary for New Jersey to promote growth in the film and television industries, Michael Maher, CEO of START Media, told lawmakers.
"It will create jobs in those industries," he said. "It will encourage capital investment in technology and infrastructure associated with those industries, and it will bolster and encourage capital investment in those neighborhoods that stand to benefit from the influx of talent that will follow as these industries grow and thrive."
But before a company could get the tax break, Sen. Joe Kyrillos said he would like to see proof that each project would be a good economic deal for the state.
"With this kind of situation we're showcasing the state for the rest of the country, the rest of the world," said Kyrillos, R-Monmouth. "But we want to make sure as I'm told is the case in some states, that we don't give out more than we get."
Companies would also have to partner with a public college or university to qualify for the tax credit.
