The graph below shows the amounts of waste produced by three companies over a period of 15 years.
The line graph compares three companies in terms of their waste output between the years 2000 and 2015.
It is clear that there were significant changes in the amounts of waste produced by all three companies shown on the graph. While companies A and B saw waste output fall over the 15-year period, the amount of waste produced by company C increased considerably.
In 2000, company A produced 12 tonnes of waste, while companies B and C produced around 8 tonnes and 4 tonnes of waste material respectively. Translation from Laokaoya website. Over the following 5 years, the waste output of companies B and C rose by around 2 tonnes, but the figure for company A fell by approximately 1 tonne.
From 2005 to 2015, company A cut waste production by roughly 3 tonnes, and company B reduced its waste by around 7 tonnes. By contrast, company C saw an increase in waste production of approximately 4 tonnes over the same 10-year period. By 2015, company C's waste output had risen to 10 tonnes, while the respective amounts of waste from companies A and B had dropped to 8 tonnes and only 3 tonnes.

Queensland's red volcanic soils are some of the most fertile in the world, and they are well suited to the growing of root crops. Root crops, like potatoes and ginger, are demanding feeders that respond well to this superior fertility. However, there are still some common problems associated with these soils, and the most notable of these is related to phosphorus availability. The negatively charged phosphate ion is notoriously unstable. It will readily form insoluble compounds with calcium (tri-calcium phosphate), iron, aluminium and manganese. In red soils, the problem is iron. These soils are coloured red because of an abundance of iron. Phosphate and iron rapidly form the insoluble iron phosphate, and it becomes a constant battle managing phosphorus for high-production fertility. A visit to some Nutri-Tech ginger growers highlights the pain and pleasure of growing root crops in the red zone.
Ken Dellit is a second-generation ginger grower, working 60 acres of prime red soil just West of Eumundi in SE Queensland. He has worked with NTS, via ginger consultant Melvan Johannesen, for the past ten years. Our visit was in response to reports of an excellent ginger crop produced in a difficult season, with the aid of Nutri-Tech products. This season, the wettest winter on record has been followed by the coolest summer in decades. This freak summer, which has to date only delivered two hot days, has produced cool soil temperatures, and the resulting slow growth has plagued growers from SE Queensland to Northern NSW and the West of both states. Cotton growers in Gunnedah, for example, are currently battling to overcome growth retardation based on low soil temperatures.
Ken Dellit's ginger crop was produced with a fairly typical program for the region. Nematode control is central to good ginger production, but, as a good grower like Ken, develops a deeper understanding of the benefits of the biological approach, it becomes a difficult decision to sacrifice the entire soil biology in pursuit of this single pest. Last season, Ken trialed Nutri-Tech's Nutri-Neem Granular Fertiliser, which is used for optimal plant health in Asia and India, and he reported both a great crop response and healthy plants. However, there was a problem with the supply of neem cake, due to harsh, import restrictions (Neem cake was part of the NTS range next season), and Ken was obliged to return to the poisons for control. Begrudgingly he decided to hedge his bets, choosing a 40% reduction in his Methane application, which would be buffered with biological alternatives. The pre-plant program included 2.5 tonnes of Grow-Mag per hectare and 3.5 tonnes of Nutri-Store 180® High Carbon Fertiliser per hectare. Nutri-Store 180® replaced the conventional application of 15 tonnes of chook manure per hectare.
The crop was then planted on August 16, on 3 bags of a ginger planting-mix containing 8-9-14 plus sulphur and trace elements. Just prior to emergence a blanket spray of the herbicide Diuron was applied at 2 kg per hectare. At the end of October the crop was side-dressed with 4 bags of Nitrophoska Blue per hectare. Nitrogen and potassium fertigation began in mid November and continued every fortnight, with 25 kg of urea and 25 kg of sulphate of potash per application. Humic acid was included at a rate of 1 litre per 20 kg with every urea application. Ken has been particularly impressed with this combination. He feels that there is improved and sustained nitrogen response as a result of the humic acid inclusion. 60 kg of calcium nitrate per hectare was also applied through the irrigation in January to provide a little soluble calcium energy.
A foliar program included two applications of Root-Tech Triple Ten™ at 5 litres per hectare. Ken reports a marked growth response following each of these foliar applications. Tri-Kelp Soluble Seaweed Powder™ was applied at 1 kg per hectare through the irrigation every four weeks. Again, Ken reported what he called a "terrific response" in terms of a noticeable greening and plant health response following each fertigation of kelp.
There was no hint of unhealthy plants, despite the 40% reduction in Methane. Note: Nutri-Kelp™ has been widely used in Europe, the USA and Australia to enhance nematode resistance.
Ken reported markedly thicker stalks than normal – Stalk caliber determines the bulb size with ginger.
The crop, which was due to be harvested within 10 days, had achieved an average of 98% above the minimum size requirement for harvesting. A 65% average is the lowest size allowed, but 82 to 84% is considered normal.
This crop bordered a second crop that had been planted with a similar program, except the 3.5 tonnes of Nutri-Store 180® per hectare had been reduced to 2.5 tonnes, and 15 tonnes of foul manure had been added instead. The block with the extra Nutri-Store 180® was quite obviously outperforming the block with the extra chook manure, even allowing for a four-week difference in planting times. Nutri-Store 180® is a patented, composed fertiliser with high organic carbon levels. The product contains 3 billion beneficial microorganisms in each teaspoon. Nutri-Store 180® has proven particularly effective in red volcanic soils, and part of the reason for this may relate to American scientist, Dr Phil Callahan's findings regarding the relationship between compost and paramagnetism. Professor Callahan was the researcher who discovered that volcanic soils outperform soils of non-volcanic origin, as these soils contain high levels of an electromagnetic energy, which increases root cell division and dramatically boosts microbial subdivision in the root-zone. Callahan has termed this energy paramagnetism, and he has patented a meter that tests paramagnetic levels in the soil (The PCSM-Meter is marketed in Australia by NTS). Recently, utilising the laboratory and specialised equipment of German researcher Professor Popp, Callahan was able to show that, when a composted fertiliser is combined with highly paramagnetic soil, then the paramagnetic energy in that soil is magnified up to 100-fold. Ken Dellit and numerous other ginger and potato growers have experienced such a positive response with Nutri-Store 180, because, as Callahan suggests, the compost is magnifying the paramagnetic effect, ie increasing root cell division and stimulating the microbial workforce.
The yield expectation for Ken Dellit's block was around 45 tonnes per hectare, which is exceptional in a year where unseasonable climatic factors have reduced yields in many crops.
Ken Dellit was impressed with his results this season, but in-field monitoring during our visit suggested that he could have further improved his yield, had he been aware of his classic red soil phosphate lockup, which seriously affected brix levels and yield potential. Brix levels in Ken's block were only 1.5. The ideal minimum reading for ginger is 8. High-brix crops are high-yielding crops. Brix is governed by calcium and phosphate levels in the soil. In this case, calcium had been addressed with Gro-Mag, so plant-available phosphate was the likely culprit. Leaf analysis data from a neighbouring ginger farm confirmed repeated low phosphate readings in the leaf, despite reasonable soil levels of phosphorus. When iron in constantly tying up phosphate, then foliar fertilising becomes the best option to get phosphate into the plant, as this approach bypasses soil-based lockups.
There is also considerable merit in using NTS Soft Rock™ rather than acid-treated phosphates, which are far more prone to lockups. The exciting, new NTS product, Nutri-Life Bio-P™ also has a role to play in these situations, as this blend of phosphate-solubilising soil microbes can break the iron / phosphate bond, ingesting the phosphate ion and recycling it as a biologically active P source for utilisation by the plant.
Broadcast NTS Soft Rock™ prior to planting to supply a steady P release throughout the season.
Treat seed pieces with Nutri-Life Bio-P™, at 400 mL per hectare. There is an advantage in also including a little molasses and Tri-Kelp™ with this seed treatment.
When there is sufficient leaf to justify the practice, consider a foliar program. Phos-Force™ Liquid Calcium Phosphate should be foliar-sprayed every two weeks at 5 litres per hectare. Phos-Force™ is one of the most powerful brix-builders on the market. There is no coincidence that a recent survey of ginger growers revealed that a grower using Phos-Force™ had achieved the highest brix levels measured in the area.
Root-Tech Triple Ten™ contains very good phosphate levels. It also contains all of the other nutrients required to feed and promote the phosphorus solubilisers in Nutri-Life Bio-P™.
Molasses and humic acid both help to reduce phosphate lockups. Molasses should be included with other fertilisers, at a rate of 3 to 5 litres per hectare. Huma-Life™ should be included with all other liquid fertilisers (particularly urea), at a rate of 5 L /ha. Remember that phosphate utilisation is a biological process. Phosphate, more than any other element, depends on soil microbes to build the path from soil to plant. In red soils, that path is strewn with obstacles, and increasing biological inputs becomes the imperative.


There are many things I like to do on my free time. The most unexpected for most people is the fact that I like to eat–a lot. People think I don't eat much because of my size but that's definitely not true. When I'm not being lazy, I like to hang out with friends, draw, and do productive things, like research that intrigues me or has been bugging me for a while. On the contrary, when I am being lazy, it's too the extreme where I lay in bed all day, just watching YouTube videos, animes, and keeping up with my friends on social media. When I'm in school, aside from work, I usually just talk with friends and play badminton in the gym. I also play tennis to try and keep myself in shape.
I grew up in America with not too much exposure to diversity because my neighborhood was mostly African-American with a few Hispanics here and there, similar to my school. My personality was (and still is) on the weird side of things so I didn't have many friends outside of family. However, my cousin in Maryland went to a pretty diverse school and had a friend who showed him anime and he was so fascinated he showed his little brother and me. Ever since then, I was hooked…mostly onto the same anime though. It was in the 7th grade that I started to discover other animes and started my love for the Japanese. Then, in the 9th grade, I made a goal for myself to be able to watch anime without subtitles and proceeded to teach myself Japanese. Once I started to get into the language I started to indulge myself into the culture, learning the do's and the don'ts for when I could possibly go to Japan. One day in class, my friend and I were on the computer and she checked her email and found an advertisement for a Japanese program called Japanese Plus and I applied right away. Finding out I was accepted into the program made me really happy and I was excited for the future to come in the class. Now, I'm able to learn and practice Japanese with my peers along with freshen up on the Japanese I already learned with the teacher. I am very grateful for this class because now I have people to practice with and not just writing things down on paper and looking it over.

Australasian Pipits–Anthus novaeseelandiae motacillidae are a very well camouflaged bird that like open grass areas and also can be found on Broome's Sports Ovals at certain times of year. Although they are a widespread species they could easily be missed due to their dull colouring and the presence of many other more colourful birds. Close to town we can easily encounter them near the Rodeo Ground year round, because there is plenty of open grass and the advantage there is an old fence line where they will perch to see you drive by. Generally you are much more likely to see them on the ground running and bobbing their tails similar to the Eastern Yellow Wagtail, which is not in Broome year round. I have been lucky enough to be able to photograph an Australasian Pipit from the car and on a fence post, so its features are a lot clearer even though it was a rather dull day! It was not far from the Golden-headed Cisticola, which is always a curious bird and keen to see what is going on around.
As you can see the Australasian Pipit has very pink legs and a fine bill, while a Horsefield's Bushlark has a much thicker bill and can often be found in similar habitat. Both species will hang on fences and fly erratically, so it pays to be careful with identification. Although they may be mistaken for introduced Eurasian Skylarks in some parts of Australia there are none present around Broome. The Australasian Pipits are now identified as a separate species to the widespread Richard's Pipit.

Dilshad Khatun (; died 27 December 1351) (lit. Queen Dilshad) (meaning 'Happy Hearted'), also Delshad, was a Chobanid princess. She was the wife of Ilkhan Abu Sa'id Bahadur Khan, and after him Hasan Buzurg, the first ruler of the Jalayirid Sultanate, and the mother of his son and successor Shaikh Awais.

Family
Dilshad Khatun was the daughter of Demasq Kaja, and the granddaughter of Amir Chupan, who was the leading Mongol amir of the Ilkhanid period. Her mother was Tursin Khatun, daughter of Irinjin Kurkan, and Konchak Khatun, daughter of Ahmed Tekuder Khan, and Armini Khatun. She had three sisters, Sultan Bakht Khatun, Dendi Shah Khatun and Alam Shah Khatun. Her aunt was Baghdad Khatun, who was the wife firstly of Hasan Buzurg and after him of Abu Sa'id.

Marriage to Abu Sa'id
After her father's death in 1327, Dilshad Khatun was brought under the protection of her aunt Baghdad, who had become wife of Abu Sa'id after having first been married to Hasan Buzurg. When Dilshad attained maturity Abu Sa'id fell in love with her. He divorced her aunt Baghdad Khatun, and married her in 1333. At the end of life, he was not happy with his wives, but loved Dilshad very much. Therefore, Baghdad became very jealous.

Widowhood
After the Abu Sa'id's death in 1335, Arpa Ke'un, was chosen as his successor by the vizier, Ghiyas-al-Din Muhammad. Dilshad, who was pregnant with Abu Sa'id's child, fled to Amir Ali Padishah his uncle, leader of tribe of Oirad and governor of Diyarbakir. Her presence strengthened Ali Padishah's position. Seven months later, on 18 May 1336, she gave birth to a daughter.

Marriage to Hasan Buzurg
Shortly afterward Ali Padishah was defeated and killed by Hasan, a rival claimant to the throne, who then married Dilshad. She bore Hasan, three sons: Shaikh Awais, who succeeded his father in 1356; Qasim, who died in 1367-68 and was buried in Najaf, and Zahid, who was born on 3 August 1351, shortly before his mother's death, and died in 1371–72.

Political influence
Dilshad brought about the death of Misr Khwaja, who had killed her father. Although married to Hasan, she remained to some extent a partisan of her Chobanid kinsmen, some of whom found temporary asylum in Baghdad.

When, in the summer of 1347, her cousin Malek Ashraf led an expedition against the capital, she reportedly persuaded Hasan, who wanted to flee to the fortress of Komak on the Euphrates, to stay and defend the city. When the Chobanid army withdrew Dilshad prevented the Jalayirids from pursuit and even welcomed some of Malek Ashraf's associates.

Dilshad Khatun enjoyed undisputed power over Jalayirid Iraq, as well as considerable influence in Syria. She was said to have been charitable to the poor.

Death
Dilshad Khatun died on 27 December 1351, and was buried in Najaf. It was suspected that she had been poisoned by Hasan who suspected her sympathies with Malek Ashraf. After her death, Hasan seized her agents and associates.

News brief: accrual accounting for the public sector developments
Published: 6 Feb 2018
The International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) has published a consultation on its proposed strategic objectives, supporting themes and work plan priorities from 2019 to 2023.
IPSASB proposed strategic objective of strengthening public financial management (PFM) globally through increasing adoption of accrual-based IPSAS is axed around two sets of activity. First the development of IPSAS and other high-quality financial reporting guidance for the public sector. Second, to raise awareness of IPSAS and the benefits of accrual accounting for the public sector.
In addition, IPSASB plans to take on three new projects: accounting for natural resources, discount rates and differential reporting.
Comments are requested by 15 June 2018.
Meanwhile the International Arab Society of Certified Accountants (IASCA) in Jordan has issued the Arabic version of the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) 2016 handbook.
In January 2017 IASCA outlined its commitment to IPSAS adoption in the region and for the Arab accounting institutes to obtain IFAC membership. Currently, only the Jordanian Association of Certified Public Accountants (JACPA) and IASCA are members.

Princes Ortiz
Princes Ortiz (°1990, San Antonio, Nueva Ecija, Philippines) is an artist who works in a variety of media. By contesting the division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience, Ortiz absorbs the tradition of remembrance art into daily practice. This personal follow-up and revival of a past tradition is important as an act of meditation.
Her artworks are presented with the aim not to provide an idealistic view but to identify where light and the environment are important. The energy of a place and its emotional and spiritual vibrations are always important. By replaying the work for each exhibition and pushing the evocative power of the work a little further, she tries to focus on the activity of presenting. The character, shape or content of the presented artwork is secondary. The essential things are the momentary and the intention of presenting.
Her works directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. With a conceptual approach, she tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way, likes to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical and believes in the idea of function following form in a work.
Her collected, altered and own works are being confronted as aesthetically resilient, thematically interrelated material for memory and projection. The possible seems true and the truth exists, but it has many faces, as Hanna Arendt cites from Franz Kafka. Princes Ortiz currently lives and works in Pasay.

The Viterbi Family Program in Mediterranean Jewish Studies
The Leve Center is delighted to announce that our director, Prof. Sarah Abrevaya Stein, has been named the inaugural holder of the Viterbi Family Endowed Chair in Mediterranean Jewish Studies at UCLA.
Andrew J. Viterbi is the co-founder of Qualcomm and a former UCLA engineering professor. His family's support for Mediterranean Jewish Studies stems from their roots in the Mediterranean region: Andrew Viterbi was born in Bergamo, Italy, to Italian Jewish parents who emigrated to the U.S. in 1939 and his late wife, Erna Finci Viterbi, was born in Sarajevo to a distinguished family of Sephardic intellectuals and rabbis who survived World War II and emigrated to the U.S. in 1950.
Thanks to their generous support, UCLA funded a pilot program in Italian Jewish studies in 2004 and created the Viterbi Family Endowment in Mediterranean Jewish Studies in 2008, which at that time was the first endowed program of its kind in North America. The program builds on a trend in historical studies to look beyond traditional political boundaries in order to understand transnational commercial and intellectual connections between different groups of people. The Viterbi program has for over a decade brought emerging and/or distinguished scholars to campus for one or more quarters of instruction, and funded quarterly seminars, lectures, and symposia on Jewish communities in Italy, France, Spain, the Balkans, North Africa, Egypt or Israel.
I am honored to be the first holder of the Viterbi Family Chair in Mediterranean Jewish Studies, and to see UCLA — in tandem with the Viterbi family — support the deepening and expansion of scholarship in this dynamic field. Mediterranean Jewish histories and cultures are an often overlooked but magnetic component of modern Jewish history, as well as of modern regional, national, imperial, global and diasporic histories. – Prof. Sarah Abrevaya Stein
The Viterbi family's most recent gift will support the creation of the Viterbi Family Endowed Chair in Mediterranean Jewish Studies. Award-winning scholar Professor Sarah Abrevaya Stein, the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Director of the Leve Center, has been named the inaugural holder of the Viterbi Family Endowed Chair.
We are grateful to the Viterbi family for their vision and continued support of the Viterbi Family Program in Mediterranean Jewish Studies and are deeply honored that they chose the UCLA Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies as the Program's home.

Q: Fail2ban socket permissions reset on reboot I have some specific group/permissions set for my fail2ban.sock file to make Zabbix able to monitor Fail2ban as described here https://github.com/hermanekt/zabbix-fail2ban-discovery-
I added the following lines to systemd service configuration to make sure the permissions will be correct after service restart:
[Service]
ExecStartPost=/bin/sh -c "while ! [ -S /run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock ]; do sleep 1; done"
ExecStartPost=/bin/chgrp fail2ban /run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock
ExecStartPost=/bin/chmod g+w /run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock

It works perfectly when I'm trying to restart the service manually using systemctl restart fail2ban. But for some reason, it does not work after the reboot.
I tried adding some debug lines to ExecStartPost with dummy echo and they are there, so ExecStartPost actions are being executed. But looks like something else re-writes permission on boot.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

A: This looks possibly like a "timing" problem - maybe the first of your ExecStartPost timed out or multiple ExecStartPost entries don't evaluated serially and running in parallel (due to specified Type of unit or some other setting), or something similar...
You can try to rewrite it in single line or in some script and use single ExecStartPost parameter, or...
Why just don't set default acl for /run/fail2ban directory (e. g. in ExecStartPre), so the socket gets created with correct permissions initially?
See https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/1315/452987
So try something like this:
ExecStartPre=-/bin/mkdir -p /run/fail2ban && /bin/setfacl -d -m g:fail2ban:rw /run/fail2ban

Another variant would be simply to set another path to fail2ban socket to some persistent directory (e. g. /opt/fail2ban instead of /run/fail2ban) either with -s parameter in systemd unit or with parameter socket within /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.local. And set the permissions persistently.

A: Since you're using a systemd service unit, it would worth creating a systemd socket unit as well.  By creating the socket unit, systemd will manage the socket file.  Ownership and permissions can be set with SocketMode, SocketUser, and SocketGroup.  Then in your service unit, in section [Unit] add Requires=yourservice.socket.

Yemen's Houthi militia detains Sanaa University professors
Keywords:Houthi militiaYemen
Photo:Reuters
The Houthi militia detained professors at the University of Sanaa at the Naqil Yaslah checkpoint while they were heading to Aden to receive their salaries on Tuesday.
According to the teaching union at the university, the Houthis detained all the professors and interrogated them for a long time, then decided to detain them all except for one female doctor and her daughter.
At least five of the university professors were thus detained.
The teaching union condemned these practices, which violate the constitution and the law and called on relevant authorities to carry out their duties to protect the professors at the University of Sanaa so they can perform their duties during Yemen's current circumstances.
It also called for the quick release of all those illegally detained and called on civil society institutions and human rights organizations to stand with them to free their colleagues.
The union also called on the university's presidency to make efforts to protect professors and employees at the university.
The union added that its statement is tantamount to a notification to the prosecutor and demanded punishment for those who illegally detain citizens.
It added that it reserves its legal right to take all the legal measures necessary to guarantee the right of education sector employees.

Krisha
Thanksgiving, with its re-gathering of family, whether estranged or close-knit and full of foibles, is, frankly, as ripe for horror as Halloween. But Thanksgiving movies about families re-convened tend to revolve more around comic absurdity rather than violent nightmares, aside perhaps from Mark Waters's "The House of Yes" where an on point Parker Posey thought herself Jackie Kennedy reincarnated. Still, that was predominantly a dark comedy, and Trey Edward Shults's "Krisha", his feature film debut, is a full descent into horror, something like a malevolently clever twist on the home invasion movie. Indeed, the home invader here, the titular Krisha (Krisha Fairchild), is willingly invited into the home of her sprawling family after an extended absences, where she proceeds to sabotage the holiday with a cover-your-eyes abrasiveness. Indeed, you almost want to cover your eyes during "Krisha's" opening shot, which is of Krisha herself, glowering into the camera. It looks like a horror movie poster from the 80s.
Krisha shows up with a suitcase in tow, intending to stay for a few days, and an index finger she keeps wrapped up in gauze on account of some event that goes unmentioned, much like the hurt she caused her family goes unmentioned, merely alluded to in the uncomfortable behavior that permeates all her character's encounters. That gauze, which unravels at inopportune moments, like a fairly grotesque instance as she stuffs the Thanksgiving turkey, also emblemizes the threadbare manner in which she keeps all that which ails her barely under her wraps. You see this too in the movie's bravura opening sequence, an unbroken shot that follows her rolling her luggage through a community of McMansions, going to the wrong house first, stepping in mud, always threatening to erupt, but getting hold of herself by talking to herself, suggesting she is not really getting hold of herself at all. Inevitably she will completely lose hold of herself by film's end, but Shults doesn't so much string us along as convincingly, harshly chronicle Krisha's desperate attempts to fend off this disintegration. Knowing the outcome only works to render its arrival that much more painful.
It's a testament to Shults that he manages to introduce a sprawling family without really every introducing them at all. Instead he lets us get impressions of everyone through bits of conversation and behavior, like a kid loudly banging a rubber ball off the floor, or a father set to detonate every time technology foils him, or a husband (Bill Wise) who seems to consider his wife's dogs he can't stand as something like marital flagellation. And Shults moves his and camera in and out of this scrum, allowing their persistent noise to reverberate off the walls, a family gathering as swirling cacophony, underscored by Brian McComber's deliberately staccato score, all of which gradually corrodes Krisha's shoddily stitched together sanity. We see this in her repeated retreats to the bathroom where she harbors unnamed medicines and other unexplained secrets in a little pillbox. Clearly, however, these are nothing but temporary remedies, evoked in the way each time Krisha opens it, the more on the brink she seems.
Fairchild, who harbors a few acting credits, if nothing you will necessarily recall, strikingly evinces the sensation of being pitched right on the edge, as she fiercely clings to the cigarettes she smokes when in other people's company like they are buoys keeping her afloat, talking to a family member about her "spiritual" journey in the sort of rising "I'm Being Serious" voice that lets you know she is trying to convince herself more than anyone else. Even more harrowing are the few interactions with her apparently disaffected son (Shults). Yearning for a private council with him while he's at the table and engaged in conversation, she stands off to the side, waiting for a moment to interject, a moment that is as awkward as it is heartbreaking, a parent as interloper,
The backstory is so intentionally opaque that we don't really know that Krisha is an alcoholic until she retreats to the bathroom with a bottle of wine and gulps it down, palpably transforming before our very eyes as the soundtrack gives way from McComber's score to Nina Simone's "Just In Time." If Krisha senses her family trying to box her out even after inviting her back in, she will simply tear them all down, rendered in a nightmarish sequence when she takes the precious Thanksgiving bird down with her. The sequence is so heightened, yet Fairchild lays herself so operatically bare, it's damn near unbearable. In the moments before she unleashes her wrath, she peers around the kitchen corner, like a frenzied Gena Rowlands in the jungle, her eyes practically on fire. It's the most frightening movie image I saw all year.

Aust bonds weaken as $A breaks 90 US cents
Bond futures prices are lower as the falling Australian dollar overshadows very disappointing Chinese economic data.
China's industrial production growth slowed sharply to 6.9 per cent in August to its worst level since the global financial crisis.
UBS interest rate strategist Andrew Lilley said normally such weak data would boost the local bond market.
But the falling Australian dollar, which dropped below 90 US cents on Monday for the first time since March, has given the market reasons to be optimistic about the Australian economy.
"What is happening is that the Australian currency has started rebalancing to a level that would be consistent with better growth of the non-mining sectors in Australia," he said.
"This is the type of move the Reserve Bank is looking for, where instead of low interest rates stimulating growth the lower currency does."
Mr Lilley said the weaker currency is likely to put downward pressure on three-year bond futures prices from here.
"There will come a point where the cheap currency starts to dominate and foreigners come in and buy our bonds, but we haven't reached that point yet," he said.
At 1630 AEST on Monday, the December 2014 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 96.315 (implying a yield of 3.685 per cent), down from 96.355 (3.645 per cent) on Friday.
The December 2014 three-year bond futures contract was at 97.110 (2.890 per cent), down from 97.115 (2.885 per cent).
Mr Lilley doesn't expect much movement in bond markets ahead of the end of the US Federal Reserve policy meeting early on Thursday morning, Australian time.
He said it is likely to be the most important Fed meeting of the year because there is an expectation that the Fed might indicate that an interest rate hike could come sooner than previously expected because of the strengthening US economy.

Zygmunt Aleksander Bugajski (ur. 6 grudnia 1887 w Dąbrowie Górniczej, zm. wiosną 1940 w Katyniu) – polski działacz polityczny, urzędnik i teoretyk więziennictwa, radca prawny, ofiara zbrodni katyńskiej.

Życiorys
Urodził się jako syn Waleriana i Emilii z domu Topór-Jasińskiej. Był działaczem Polskiej Partii Socjalistycznej – Frakcja Rewolucyjna na terenie Rosji. Zaangażowanie polityczne sprawiło, że kilkakrotnie relegowany z gimnazjów (najpierw w Piotrkowie Trybunalskim, a następnie w Radomsku oraz w Sierpuchowie na terenie Rosji). Ostatecznie zdał maturę eksternistycznie w Petersburgu, następnie studiował prawo i ekonomię w Moskwie. W trakcie studiów podjął pracę w zakładzie dla nieletnich przestępców, co rozbudziło w nim zainteresowanie problematyką więziennictwa. W czasie sprawowania władzy w Rosji przez Rząd Tymczasowy pod przewodnictwem Aleksandra Kiereńskiego był naczelnikiem więzienia na Tagance w Moskwie. Działał jako opiekun polskich więźniów politycznych, zagrożony z tego powodu aresztowaniem przez bolszewików we wrześniu 1918 uciekł z Moskwy i jesienią tego roku przedostał się do Warszawy.

Po odzyskaniu niepodległości przez Polskę w 1918 został naczelnikiem więzienia mokotowskiego. Później był naczelnikiem Wydziału Penitencjarnego Departamentu Karnego w Ministerstwie Sprawiedliwości. W latach 20. uczestniczył w organizacji więziennictwa. Był m.in. inicjatorem powołania pierwszych szkół kształcących funkcjonariuszy Straży Więziennej i twórcą ogólnopolskiej biblioteki więziennej przeznaczonej dla skazanych. 2 grudnia 1931 jako radca ministerialny w V st. sł. został mianowany radcą prawnym w V st. sł.. Otrzymał tytuł członka honorowego Związku Pracowników Więziennych RP. W uznaniu zasług został włączony do składu profesorskiego Wolnej Wszechnicy Polskiej w charakterze docenta na Wydziale Nauk Politycznych i Społecznych na podstawie habilitacji za pracę pt. Kryzys kary więzienia i nowe kierunki w polityce penitencjarnej. Mieszkał przy ulicy Pawiej 21 m. 3.

Po agresji III Rzeszy i ataku ZSRR na Polskę został aresztowany przez Sowietów jako cywil. Był przetrzymywany w obozie w Kozielsku. Wiosną 1940 został przetransportowany do Katynia i rozstrzelany przez funkcjonariuszy Obwodowego Zarządu NKWD w Smoleńsku oraz pracowników NKWD przybyłych z Moskwy na mocy decyzji Biura Politycznego KC WKP(b) z 5 marca 1940. Został pochowany na terenie obecnego Polskiego Cmentarza Wojennego w Katyniu, gdzie w 1943 jego ciało zidentyfikowano podczas ekshumacji prowadzonych przez Niemców pod numerem 1906. Przy zwłokach Zygmunta Bugajskiego zostały odnalezione: legitymacja urzędnicza, pismo urzędowe, książeczka wojskowa, pocztówki, list, dyplom rosyjski.

Legends Get Rocked While on the Road…
Our Lexington Legends started off super hot while down in Augusta taking on those GreenJackets, winning the series four games to one. But, it was a different story in the next few games as the Romes Braves roughed up our hometeam, sweeping the Legends in four straight games. Even with the four losses though, the Legends, still hold a share of 1st place in the Southern Division in the S.A.L. league. With a combined record of 17-13, the Legends are tied with division rival the Greenville Drive.
Also, some bad news to report on the homefront…the Legends lost one of their all-stars during these last set of games due to injury. Second baseman Albert Cartwright will be out for several weeks because of a broken bone in his left forearm, suffered when he was hit by a pitch in Sunday's (5/3) game. Infielder Andy Simunic joined the Legends from extended spring training and now is in the lineup.
Applebee's Park will be hosting another 8-day homestand beginning this Monday, as the Legends hook up with the Charleston RiverDogs in a four game set. Tonight, (Monday) actually happens to be Kids Eat Free night, where ALL kids 12 and under get to come to the ballpark and get a voucher for free dinner thanks to our good friends at Members Heritage Federal Credit Union.
During this homestand, the Legends have ALOT of cool things happening…on Friday, May 15th…Dora the Explorer ventures to Applebee's Park. You can be apart of an exclusive meet and greet with Dora for only $15. Call the Legends box office for details at 859.422.RUNS.
Then on Saturday, May 16….it's our annual IncrediPet Bark in the Park night.

Over the past almost-year that the Rivers of America have been closed, Tom Sawyer Island has been getting some nice, welcome TLC. The result has been a subtle but fresh overhaul that features a new paint scheme, new infrastructure for FANTASMIC hidden within daytime theming, and just a general reinforcement of the charm of this play area. Although the island isn't open yet and won't be until the Rivers of America re-open this summer, what guests can see is looking pretty good. So here are a few photos of the finished product around the island!

Share All sharing options for: No. 1 Gonzaga vs. No. 16 Norfolk State/Appalachian State preview for NCAA Tournament first-round matchup
The NCAA Tournament begins on Thursday, March 18th with the First Four, and then moves on to the first round on Friday, March 15 and Saturday, March 16. No. 1 seed Gonzaga will face the winner of a play-in game between No. 16 seeds Norfolk State and Appalachian State in the first round. Game time has yet to be announced but we will update this article with that and game odds as soon as it comes available. For now, we've got a preliminary preview of the two teams to get you ready for March Madness!
Once the odds from DraftKings Sportsbook are made available for this game, we'll add that information below. We'll also add the game time and TV channel once it's settled.
Game date: Saturday, March 20
Game time: 9:20 p.m.
TV channel: TBS
Location: Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis
Odds: TBD
No. 1 Gonzaga
The No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, the Gonzaga Bulldogs have bulldozed their way to an undefeated 30-0 mark so far and both West Coast Conference championships. No team has come within double digits of them since West Virginia lost 67-62 on December 2nd, and they lead the nation in effective field goal percentage at 61.2%.
Corey Kispert (19.2 ppg), Drew Timme (19.0 ppg, 7.1 rpg) are the big men that can play both inside as well as shoot the three, and five-star freshman Jalen Suggs (13.9 ppg) gives them a level of athleticism and skill on both ends of the court previous Gonzaga teams have lacked. They'll be heavy favorites all the way to Indianapolis, and by the advanced metrics should handle everyone in their path until Baylor in the final.

No. 16 Norfolk State/Appalachian State
The Norfolk State Spartans are returning to the NCAA Tournament after they defeated the Morgan State Bears 71-63 in the MEAC championship game. The Spartans head into the big dance on a four-game winning streak. Norfolk State finished the regular season with a record of 16-7 and the best team in the MEAC's North Division. They are also averaging 75.4 points per game and holding their opponents to only 69.5 points per game. The Spartans rank within the top-100 in terms of rebounding with 37.1 rebounds a game.
The two players for the Spartans to keep an eye out for is senior guard Devante Carter and junior guard Joe Bryant Jr. Carter leads the team in all major statistical categories with 15.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game. As for Bryant Jr., he is averaging 11.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.

The Mountaineers are heading back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000 after winning the Sun Belt tournament as the No. 4 seed. Finishing the regular season losing four of their final five games, coach Dustin Kearns' team went on a hot streak and won four in a row, two of which came in overtime, to capture the Sun Belt's automatic bid.
App State actually ranks on the lower side of all teams in terms of offensive and defensive efficiency metrics. The Mountaineers are 207th and 203rd in the nation in those, respectively and came into the Sun Belt Tournament sitting just barely above .500. Adrian Delph and Justin Forrest lead the team with 13 points per game each, and they'll both need to do even more for a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
Record: 17-11, 7-8 Sun Belt
Odds to win NCAA Championship: +20000

The Rector of Justin
Louis Auchincloss
"[A] certifiable masterpiece" from the acclaimed chronicler of New York City's old money elite (The New York Observer).
Widely considered Louis Auchincloss's greatest novel, The Rector of Justin is an astute dissection of the social mores of the Northeast's privileged establishment. The story centers on Rev. Frank Prescott, the charismatic founder and rector of a prestigious Episcopal school for boys. With laser-sharp insight, Auchincloss delivers a prismatic portrait of this commanding and complicated man through the eyes of those who knew—or thought they knew—him best.
Seamlessly interweaving multiple points of view—from an adoring teacher to that of a rebellious daughter—The Rector of Justin presents a social history of the eighty years of his life: the sources of his virtues and failings, his successes, his love, and his crises of faith.
As Jonathan Yardley put it in the Washington Post, "Auchincloss is one of the most accomplished and distinctive writers this country has known . . . [and] Frank Prescott is one of the great characters in American fiction."
"A daring and ambitious book . . . Its poise and taste and intelligence strike one on every page, as do its unerring knowledge and literary skill." —The New Yorker
"[The Rector of Justin] should sit on the shelf of any serious reader of American fiction." —Jay Parini, The New York Observer
"A taut and elegant study of a distinguished American whose closest friends cannot decide whether they like or detest him." —The Times Literary Supplement
"Fascinating . . . We do come to feel the reality, the complicated reality, of Francis Prescott." —Saturday Review
"My favorite of Auchincloss's novels. Both decadent and demanding, high-hat and frank . . . A subversive in lace-up oxfords and rep tie." —Amy Bloom

Q: How to draw random number from a Cauchy Distribution in Matlab I know random number can be drawn from a Normal Distribution as follows
normrnd(mu, sd)

where mu=mean and sd=standard deviation
But how can we draw a random number from Cauchy Distribution with given location parameter and scale parameter, as there is no built-in function available in matlab. For more information about Cauchy Distribution see Link1 and Link2.

A: You can always write your own function, if you know the cdf.
function x = cauchy_dist(location_parameter, scale_parameter)
p_cdf = rand(); %uniform random from 0->1, since cdf by definition 0->1
x = location_parameter + scale_parameter*tan(pi*(p_cdf-0.5)); %solve cdf eqn for x

A: From the explanation given here, you can get a Cauchy distributed random number from an uniform random number using the following transformation:
r = tan(pi*(rand()-0.5))

Combining regenerative and classical fossil energy sources is a major issue to be addressed in order to find solutions to the challenges of modern societies with respect to technology advances and low carbon footprint at the same time. Fossil energy sources will remain on the tableau due to their energy density and the mobility of combustion engines for cars, power trains, aviation, space and cogeneration, but only an efficient and low fuel usage will allow those to contribute to a low carbon footprint mix of energy.
Laser based ignition is believed to be a major contributor to efficient fossil fuel usage and thus a lower carbon footprint of mankind due to the variability and shapeability of laser pulses that replace the electric spark to ignite the gas-fuel mixture. But a number of technological challenges need to be proved before laser spark plugs can realistically be adopted. For instance, the diode laser pump must demonstrate that it can operate continuously for 10.000 hours; also the pressure barrier window and lens must stay clean for this time.
European research and development is strong in the fields of laser ignition, competing with the USA and Japan. Interestingly enough, science and technology for laser spark plugs in Europe are also situated in Romania, a low developed country of the EU.
Bring the world-renowned Laser Ignition Conference (LIC) in 2017 to the INFLPR in Romania to increase INFLPR's, the Romanian and the European visibility in the fields of laser ignition.
