Q: Creating a Facebook event whose date is after Daylight Savings Time ends: What UTC offset should be used? Question: If I add an event using the Facebook API today (offset UTC-4 at my location) for an event that occurs in December (offset UTC-5 at my location), will it appear correctly? Or do I have to submit it as UTC-5 in order for it to appear correctly in December, but (possibly) incorrectly now?
Further Details:
On August 1, 2012, Facebook announced that timezone support would be added to events, including through the developer API. In this blog post, they explain how the changes affect reading and writing events.
For the writing of events, you are now required to include the UTC offset when defining the start_time and end_time. So, if I was in Washington, DC (Eastern Timezone and currently on Eastern Daylight Time) and created an event for today, I would input UTC-4. However, if I am creating an event today, and the event date is December 1 (after Daylight Savings Time ends), would I input UTC-4 (the current offset) or UTC-5 (the relevant offset on December 1)?
I realize that there are a lot of questions about Facebook and timezones, but the ones I have found were written before Facebook announced the new timezone support, and so they don't appear to be relevant to this scenario.

A: From what I have seen, you should be entering the event with the correct UTC offset for the event time you are setting.
For instance, if you had an event in New York City that began at 7pm on 11/3/12 and ended at 7am on 11/4/12 (DST ends at 2am on 11/4/12 in the USA), you would set the start time as 2012-11-03T19:00:00-04:00 and the end time as 2012-11-04-T07:00:00-05:00.
Facebook should display the times corrected for DST.

Based on Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, Perdida is set in pre-Revolutionary Mexico, when powerful Dons ruled like kings. Shakespeare's story of passion, jealousy and redemption is retold in the Latino style of magical realism, using classic musical forms of Mexico – Corridos, Sones, Canciones, Chilenas and Jarabes. A Conjunto of musicians and actors tell the story of Perdida in music, words and dance.
Perdida received a workshop in 1999 at TheatreWorks in Palo Alto, California under the direction of Alma Martinez. From 2001-2002 it received staged readings at Signature Theatre in Arlington, Virginia and was showcased at the John F. Kennedy Center's Page to Stage festival under the direction of Jose Carrasquillo. In 2014 it premiered at Catholic University of America in Washington DC, directed by Elena Velasco.
Perdida is published by the Dramatic Publishing Company.

Although no significant correlations were obtained, strong tendencies were found towards a linear relationship between hit rate and each of the four emotionally loaded scales for negative pictures (pleasure, involvement, compassion, and repulsion) for the whole set of data.
Nevertheless, an attempt was made to explore the referee's suggestion by identifying the hit rate for the target or targets rated as most emotional with those rated as least emotional for each participant.
After finishing all recursion loop searches, the CN of each source is summarized, and the corresponding hit rate is calculated using the following equation: hit rate=CN / total number of compounds of each source x 100%.
And growth funds, for which our data extends further back, saw a 6% hit rate, the worst since at least 1991, with the average fund lagging by the widest margin we have recorded in our quarterly data: -3.
By comparing with existing KS, t, and SSA methods, the efficiency, sensitivity, and performance are analyzed in terms of the computation time, error and accuracy, hit rate, and AUC of ROC analyses.
The average MSE and hit rate in the first 500 trading days are plotted in Figures 1(a) and 1(b), respectively.
Furthermore, person matching could be performed on the scale-level scores of an interest inventory to determine the predictive hit rate accuracy.
A constitutionally sound hit rate reveals nothing about a program's hassle rate until we know the base rate for the crime and the miss rate for the program.
The greater the accuracy with which a scoring method calculated a person's final occupational choice, the higher the hit rate reported.
I'm not sure in this day and age that's such a bad hit rate - 106,000 out of a population of around 5,300,000.

Q: How to calculate week-starting date from only year and week number, on server-side? On AX2009 I have a week and year, say 21 and 2016. On a batch job running on server I have to calculate what is the starting date for that week.
What is the easiest way to do this, keeping in mind that in some countries weeks start on Sunday and in others on Monday? Also, the year change like in 2012/2013 should be handled.
Or is there a way to do this without the the client-side Global methods at all?

A: You can use .NET for that. There are already questions around how to do this in C# (like this one) so I think it should be straightforward to port it to X++.
Keep in mind to assert appropriate InteropPermission before calling .NET
new InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop).assert();

Walmart OTIF 2019 vs. Truck Driver Capacity
Author: Jarrod Davis
(Do you have questions about OTIF, your OTIF scorecard, or penalties? Click here to ask a Walmart OTIF expert for help!)
The Walmart On Time In Full (OTIF) initiative saw various updates in 2018. From changing delivery windows to adjusting the exception process, Walmart is working toward the end goal of keeping shelves stocked for customers. During the process, suppliers continue to struggle with meeting deadlines and face the growing issue of truck driver capacity.
Colby Beland, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for CaseStack, sat down with us to talk about the reality of OTIF in 2019. With possible updates to OTIF in light of a truck driver shortage, Colby has sound advice for current Walmart suppliers and those hoping to work with the company this year.
A Shortage of Truck Drivers
Colby and his team at CaseStack work to consolidate truckloads and set appointments for suppliers. Being on the front lines of supply chain logistics, the need for more truck drivers is a reality he sees each day. As he explains, Walmart understands the shortage as well and is taking notable action:
Colby Beland, CaseStack
"Capacity is tight. It's not tight because of equipment availability, but truly because there aren't enough seats. There aren't enough people to put a seat in a seat," he explains. "Walmart is impacted by capacity in its own fleet. You're seeing the changes that they're making from referral bonuses for drivers to social media campaigns. They're doing everything they can to create driver awareness.
"At the end of the day, commerce in America doesn't work without a truck driver. Everything is delivered on a truck. It's a true challenge that the industry faces. We're about 300,000 drivers short today based upon the capacity demand and it's only going to get worse. If you look at the average age of a truck driver (somewhere between 55 and 60), retirement is looming."
This challenge the industry faces isn't going away soon. With more drivers at the age of retirement, it's hard to find new applicants to "take the wheel," figuratively and literally! Colby watches the trends for the future of logistics and explains something must change to avoid a future crisis.
"The millennial generation does not want to drive a truck," he says. "If you look at all the marketing studies of what millennials are interested in, they're not attracted to the truck driving industry. It's going to create a lot of challenges for capacity going forward. Carriers, the companies that actually own trucks, are having to figure out a way to recruit and bring drivers into the industry."
What Can Change for OTIF in 2019?
Overall, Walmart has seen success with the OTIF initiative. After the initial launch, some changes went into effect, and more may be on the horizon. Colby brought us up to date on what the last year has yielded and gave insight into what can be announced soon.
"Walmart made a pretty big adjustment going from the expected 95% back down to 85%," he begins, "and going from a 1-day window to a 2-day window. I think they're seeing the results that they want.
"I can't speak for Walmart, but the performance that the suppliers have made is pretty significant. It's a realistic expectation; 85% in a 2-day window is very achievable. Walmart's ultimate goal is 95%. I believe they can get to 95% with a 2-day window. The 1-day window made it tough; from a cost perspective, it was attainable, but it cost money to do it. At the end of the day, Walmart is not looking to drive costs up, they're looking for performance and execution."
A Solution for Struggling Suppliers
For suppliers still struggling with their supply chain logistics, Colby and the team at CaseStack offer sound solutions. Understanding what the supplier community faces each week, Colby shows how CaseStack steps in to achieve the goal.
"The two biggest factors for a supplier being able to achieve OTIF are capacity and cost. They really go hand in hand. The solution that CaseStack offers through consolidation is that we're exceeding Walmart's goal of 95% today."
He concludes by explaining how CaseStack enables a supplier to exceed Walmart's expectation on hitting goals. A simple partnership can save the supplier time, money, and the risk of future penalties.
"We're taking at bunch of LTL (Less Than Truckload) suppliers and consolidating them to create full trucks. We're eliminating a lot of the process," Colby concludes. "LTL in general, just the way they operate, creates supply chain challenges to meet Walmart's goal. We can offer an LTL supplier a 95% OTIF today because we're moving in a full truckload environment. The systems, technology, and processes that we have in place can guarantee that an appointment will be made and that the product will be delivered within that window at a high service level."

Home youth The Impact of Social Media to Digital Broadcasting, With Regards To Radio and Television
The Impact of Social Media to Digital Broadcasting, With Regards To Radio and Television
ALLISAY November 03, 2016 0 comments
The fact that the impact of social media to broadcasting (radio and TV) has been a mixed of blessing and a disgrace to the world cannot be overemphasized. When we say social media in this age, what comes readily to the mind is what we have reduced social media to - our various 'chatting' sites which tends to limit the scope of what social media is all about.
Social media can be said to be a form of electronic communication (as websites for social networking and micro-blogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other contents (such as audio and videos).
Basically, we are in tune if it is concluded that social media is a broadcasting tool which aids the TV and radio broadcasts. That said, it means this current age has given unto us all easy way of accessing information as soon as it is disseminated once the right factors are put in place.
It also comes with a certain ease and relieve on the knowledge that we do not need to reschedule and reorganise our daily living to fit into the time for the news either on the TV or the radio as the case may be.
Furthermore, social media in respect to broadcasting has helped in building a bridge between the source and the recipient as there is room for immediate reaction from the people without any encumbrance or special procedure.
In other concise words, it can be said that the positive sides of social media in radio and TV broadcast for the purpose of this write has been streamlined into three basic points which are:
•limitless access to the news for all
•time and location considerate. i.e places more stringent rules as to when and where the news can be accessed
•ability of the public to react to the news without stress.
In addition to the above, it is noteworthy that social media has been a mixed blessing to this age. As much as it is canvassed that social media has made life easy, it has also caused obvious harm to the sanity and sanctity of most people.
First to note in this category is the misconception that may be brewed from reading and implying more to what the source has to pass across as seen in the trending misconception of Pastor Sam Adeyemi's point on mental illness or a reduction in the value of information to be passed on. Another is the fact that whilst going about the news, we peddle this misconception to those without access to these information, thereby misinforming them and deforming what is left of what was made right in their sanity.
Finally, what I tag the greatest of the ills of social media in respect to TV and radio broadcast is that many still remain uninformed despite their accessibility to social media. Other things sociable enough with a stronger pull has the greater advantage over articles of the news. Majority (of the youth) will rather see a leaked tape rather than see AIT's Focus Nigeria or ChannelTV's Daily with the same value of data.
In simpler words, we can say the negatives for the purpose of this write include:
- reduction of facts or inclusion of fallacies thereby brewing misconceptions in the public.
-misinformation of the rest of the public with no access to the media
- the failure of the information in informing those with access to the media.
It won't be wrong to infer that the ratio of the negative impact may be influenced to a great deal if appropriate measures are not taken.
The simplest way to correct this error is a reorientation of the public with access to social media, ironically, through the social media. This is achievable by doing it in skits and bits till the message revolves.
Oluwa Omoyele Olamiposi, fondly called Yele, particularly on the cyber space, is a reader, writer and a learner who loves to capture moments around her in deep imagery. The Lagos, Nigeria born and bred lawyer cum literati started out way back by appreciating poetry; she write as she feels and has some of her poems published, far and wide. Omoyele 'break rules, make rules, flaunt them by obeying them perfectly' and is currently working on her debut anthology alongside her social project, Yelegraphy.com.

The source material for Fünf consists solely of three separate spoken recordings by Lars Stroschen, Jörg Thomasius, and André Ruschkowski. The three musicians followed the same set of rules and guidelines to compose four pieces each from this material, one piece for each individual voice and one based on all three voices. They could alter this source material in any conceivable manner but not use any other recorded sounds or electronics. This is an ingenious concept and approach. What will these guys think of next? The results are remarkable and often bizarre. In some instances they processed the material so heavily as to be totally unrecognizable as human voices. Over their first four releases we've come to expect some rather extreme in your face compositions. It was then quite a surprise to listen to the second track, Stroschen's composition using all three voices, and hear a distorted disco party complete with rhythms using the sampled voices! Because Stroschen, Thomasius, and Ruschkowski worked independently, there is a lack of coherence to Fünf. However I found it intriguing to compare and contrast the three sets of compositions and it was easier to listen to than Thomasius' solo release Marmor. Fünf deserves a place in the avant garde collection simply because of Tonart's innovative use of processed voices instead of those stuttered words heard so often in th 80s with the onset of samplers.

The Intense Political Power of Art, Research Time, 21/07/2015
The content of Italian Futurism's political philosophy is abhorrent and terrifying. Many people today would consider it obscene. I don't know how well the average contemporary Western person could understand a style of patriotism that's so dedicated to freedom while also being so nakedly and proudly militarist and imperialist. Today, we at least lie so well to ourselves that we aren't our own brand of conquerors.
My greatest hope for the Trump campaign is that it's
actually a brilliant, long-game piece of performance art
that would put Stephen Colbert and Joaquin Phoenix to
Yet the spirit of Marinetti's philosophy is the same spirit central to the most inspiring progressive movements throughout the last hundred or so years. I snuck back yesterday afternoon to After the Future, the slim book by Bifo that first drew me to Futurism for philosophical inspiration, and read again his description of their vision.
Futurism is the purest expression of the Modernist era, the faith that the development of human culture, knowledge, and technology brings liberation and freedom, that development was inherently progress. Utopia was coming, and we would build it ourselves.
The particulars change, but the movement remains the same. Bifo wrote that the end of Modernity* came in 1977, when the last breath of a political movement that imagined the future as a brighter place was finally crushed. He saw it simultaneously as the violent government crackdown on the autonomist movement and the cry of England's punks. A fetish store advertisement in disguise as a rock band screams "No Future!!!!"
* With a capital M, so as not to confuse Modernity the cultural era for modernity the contemporary cultural era of the moment.
This reveals a curious convergence that I see in Bifo and many other cultural theorists, with Marinetti and his noxiously seductive ideology and aesthetic of techno-violence. They all, and increasingly myself, understand art as an inherently political phenomenon.
Now, it's generally accepted that you can make art with an explicitly political message. In its most sedate form, it can be the simple graphic design of a campaign for state office, or the shining expressiveness of an image like Shepard Fairey's Barack Obama portrait. Or it can be a more pointed, critical form. Consider Picasso's Guernica, which depicts the visceral and empathic terror of arial bombardment. Think about the protest song, whether it emerges from Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Reagan Youth, Rage Against the Machine, Run the Jewels, or Buffy Sainte Marie.
For a moment, he was the voice of an entire
continent's culture. But I still prefer the PiL albums.
Or consider what I hope the Donald Trump 2016 Presidential campaign will turn out to be in the United States. A months-long work of performance art that systematically attacks and destroys forever the credibility and collective sanity of the Republican Party, forcing entirely different social forces to come to dominate the American state.
Art can have a more profound power than this, because of its expressive power. An artist creates a work, whether in collaboration with others (as in film and theatre) or on her own (as in painting, sculpture, or fiction writing) as an expression of will through technical means. The content of this expression comes from the ideas and occupations of the artist, what thoughts and problems she wants her artwork to explore.
An artist who pays attention to the political and social conflicts of her time will express those conflicts in the content of her work. This is true even for oblique forms of art like music or more explicit, conscious forms of art like drama.
The mood, form, or motivating concepts of an artwork will express a political mood of the entire country, a cultural shift. The nihilism of "No Future" was the culture of Europe itself crashing into dystopia. The aggression of the art that emerged from Italian Futurism was the will to technological power demanding its domination over the Earth.

Q: Is there a word/phrase that describes someone flinching after they sip alcohol? Even flinching isn't the best way to describe it.
Example: a person will take a sip of a strong alcoholic beverage (take for instance, straight whiskey) and then will proceed to make that iconic face - one where they bare their teeth from the sting of the alcohol. This is usually followed by an inhale through the teeth. All the while, they might be shaking their head from side-to-side and sometimes even close their eyes.
Is there a specific term for this or a common phrase? Perhaps, even an idiom?
Example sentence would be:

After taking a shot of sour apple whiskey, Gus (insert word/phrase here)ed at the overwhelming taste.

This happens several times throughout my novel and I'm curious for if there's a better way, more direct way, to describe it.

A: I believe the word you seek may be "wince". Let me add the word "recoil" which is also fitting.

"After taking a shot of sour apple whiskey, Gus winced at the
  overwhelming taste."
"After taking a shot of sour apple whiskey, Gus recoiled at the
  overwhelming taste."

Home Investment structuring
Investment structuring
Wealthy individuals and families get plenty of advice on where to invest.
As your lawyers, it's our role to be objective. We never advise on what investments should be made – only how they should be structured.
Whether you're considering investing in a business, real estate, a yacht, artwork or a complex financial product, our local and global teams will work together to navigate any cross-border issues, improve your tax efficiency and ensure the investment meets regulatory requirements wherever you or the investment assets are located.
'It's a good idea to talk to us before you make investments, because once you sign a contract your hands become somewhat tied,' advises Jamie McLemore, an experienced member of the US wealth planning team in London. 'For example, a lot of people don't know that US real estate is subject to a 40% estate tax if you die. If the property appreciates, you can get a big US income tax bill. There's no simple answer as to how to fix it, but what we can do is work with a client to find the best trade-off for them and a solution that fits their needs.'
Our global knowledge means we are regularly consulted by people with interests in more than one country. Clients include entrepreneurs, sports stars, entertainment personalities and some of the world's most successful families.

With regard to the "twin vs clone" argument: A clone may well be biologically equivalent to a twin in important ways, however socially there are significant differences. Twins are, obviously, born at the same time and therefore have a parallel 'trajectory' through life. Society is comfortable with this concept, if only because we have always lived with it, and thus socially adept twins are also, I would expect, comfortable with their situation.
On the other hand, to be a clone of an individual that was born possibly decades before raises issues that society has not yet had to deal with. The clone could possibly face a kind of 'identity crisis', in which he or she feels that their identity is mixed up in some way with that of their clone-parent (do we have a term for this yet?). And this in a way which is fundamentaly different from the way we identify with parents, siblings, ancestors, or other family members. I'm no psychiatrist, but I can imagine the potential issues that may arise from this.
I'm not arguing that human cloning should be disallowed because of this, though. On the contrary, I believe in being extremely wary of dogmatic positions. But, issues like this will have to be carefully considered if human cloning ever becomes a real possibility.
"I think it's unlucky to be superstitious"
depending on the circumstances they exist within, the clone should just be happy to be alive, just like you or me.
"Americans will always do the right thing-after they have exhausted all the alternatives."
Cloning is interesting as a theoretical and ethical issue, but it's hardly a pressing one at the moment, nor was it a central focus of the episode. The theory of evolution, by contrast, is under constant attack by proponents of Intelligent Design, and the interview with Ken Miller contains some of the best arguments for natural selection, and against ID, I have heard.

Apparent Terrorist Attack Hits NYC, D.C.
NEW YORK/WASHINGTON, Sept 11 (Reuters) – In the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor, three hijacked planes slammed into the Pentagon and New York's landmark World Trade Center on Tuesday, demolishing the two 110-story towers that symbolize U.S. financial might.
The attacks presented President George W. Bush with the sternest test of his eight-month presidency. He cut short a trip to Florida and flew to a Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, after stopping briefly in Louisiana where he vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
The attacks, which involved the hijacking of four commercial planes—two from Boston, one each from Newark and Dulles, outside Washington—brought normal life across the United States to a standstill, turning the major cities of the nation into eerie ghost towns.
All financial markets were closed, millions of workers sent home early, all flights around the nation were canceled and all airports shut in an unprecedented move. Markets were to remain closed on Wednesday.
It began shortly before 9:00 a.m. when the first plane slammed into the north tower in the heart of New York's financial district, opening a massive hole near the top. With TV stations showing the scene live, a second plane followed 15 minutes later, scoring a direct hit on the south tower.
Minutes later came the report of a third kamikaze attack on the Pentagon department in North Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington. That building, too, burst into flames.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was in the building and tried to assist the victims before being evacuated.
Authorities evacuated key landmarks like the White House, the fire-damaged Pentagon, the Sears Tower in Chicago, the CIA building and the Walt Disney theme parks. All baseball games were canceled.
It was the worst attack on American soil since Japanese war planes bombed the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, killing 2,280 soldiers and 68 civilians and forcing the United States into World War Two.
Lawmakers called it an act of war which the United States must avenge. No group took immediate responsibility for the attack but suspicions centered on an implacable U.S. enemy—exiled Saudi Osama bin Laden, whose followers were held responsible for murderous attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa.
There were a total of 266 people on board the day's four hijacked planes—two that crashed into the twin towers, one that slammed into the Pentagon and a fourth that crashed in a wooded area near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
But it could be days or weeks before the total death toll becomes clear.
''I wouldn't want to say what the death toll could be. It will be a horrible number. I saw people dropping out of windows,'' a shaken New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani told ABC News, adding that 200 firefighters were missing.
Tuesday's attacks triggered scenes of panic, disbelief and heroism in the largest U.S. city, where police and firefighters risked their lives to save people from the 110-story twin towers before its 200,000 tonnes of steel frame came smashing down, covering lower Manhattan in a shower of soot.
''It's nuts, there is debris and dust everywhere, and it looks as though a volcano erupted down there,'' said Michael DeVita, who was working on the 84th floor of World Trade Center Building No. 2 when the first plane hit Building No. 1.
Hospitals in New York were overwhelmed as a black cloud billowed into the blue skies over Manhattan where the city skyline had been dramatically and permanently altered.
''Hundreds of people are burned from head to toe,'' said Dr. Steven Stern at St. Vincent's Hospital in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of lower Manhattan. Rescue workers used commuter ferries to carry victims across the Hudson River to safety in Hoboken, New Jersey, where the scene resembled a war zone, with victims laid out on stretchers, limping on crutches, and others walking without a shirt and with their pants torn.
Dozens looked shellshocked and were weeping in nearby streets. The thick plume of smoke rising from what used to be the World Trade Center was clearly visible in the background.
Bridges and tunnels between New York and New Jersey were closed, making it impossible for parents to return home and pick up their children from school.
Bush vowed to bring those responsible for the attacks to justice as he stopped in Louisiana to talk to the nation. ''Make no mistake, the United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts,'' the president said.
Bush had begun his day in Florida prepared to speak about education but quickly changed his plans when the news of the attacks emerged.
With a military jet at each wingtip, Bush's Air Force One aircraft rushed to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana and was immediately surrounded by soldiers bearing automatic weapons and dressed in camouflage fatigues and helmets.
He was on the ground there only briefly before heading for Nebraska, landing at Offutt, a base with a key role in strategic nuclear planning under its U.S. Strategic Command.
Disaster relief agencies said they were working with the military to rush thousands of pints of blood to New York City and Washington to treat an untold number of injuries from aerial hijack attacks in those cities.
''We have not seen an attack like this, certainly not since Pearl Harbor,'' said Adm. Robert Natter, commander of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, which was dispatching ships and aircraft for air defense to Washington and possibly New York.
As international flights were diverted to Canada, authorities shut down all flights in the United States.
Foreign financial markets fell sharply on news of the attacks. The London FTSE index plummeted 5.7 percent, and Latin American markets tumbled. Oil prices spiked up.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat condemned the attack but some Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied territories and in Lebanon celebrated.
Bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire and Islamic militant, believed to be in Afghanistan, was blamed for the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in which 224 people died.
An Arab journalist with access to bin Laden told Reuters in London the renegade Saudi had warned three weeks ago of an ''unprecedented attack'' on U.S. interests.
Washington has offered a $5 million reward for his capture. George Tenet, director of the CIA, said this week the Saudi was the most immediate and serious threat to U.S. security.
Beside the embassy bombings, U.S. officials link bin Laden to last year's bombing of a U.S. Navy ship in Yemen and with foiled plots at the turn of the millennium.
The previous worst act of terrorism in the United States was the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City in which 168 people died. Timothy McVeigh was executed earlier this year.
An earlier bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 resulted in six deaths and hundreds of injuries.

Siddha (devanāgarī : सिद्ध) est un terme sanskrit qui signifie « accompli, réalisé, obtenu ou parfait », en tibétain druptob (). Selon la philosophie indienne et plus particulièrement le Yoga mais aussi le jaïnisme, le Siddha est celui qui a atteint le but suprême ou la perfection et qui a alors atteint l'éveil, le moksha. Les yogis croient qu'à ce stade, l'être est doué de pouvoirs surnaturels ou merveilleux (les Siddhi).

Dans l'hindouisme

Comme nom commun, le terme siddha s'applique au sādhaka ou au sādhu engagé dans la voie de la réalisation des siddhi et de la conquête de l'immortalité non liée au Temps/Devenir. Comme nom propre, Siddha désigne les adeptes de Śiva dans le Deccan, les alchimiste du Tamil Nadu (Sittar), les Tāntrika bouddhistes du Bengale (Mahāsiddha et Siddhācārya), les alchimistes de l'Inde médiévale (Rasa Siddha) et enfin le groupe des Nāth Siddha de l'Inde du Nord et précurseurs du Haṭha Yoga.

Dans le jaïnisme
Le siddha dans le jaïnisme est celui qui après avoir abandonné sa vie au profit d'une voie religieuse de moine-ascète, de saddhu, a atteint le nirvana ou le moksha : l'illumination. L'âme évite ainsi le cycle des renaissances non voulues : la loi du samsara qui concerne le croyant vivant égoïstement. Pour le jaïnisme, la place de l'âme libérée n'est alors plus la même dans la cosmographie jaïne et l'être peut être appelé aussi deva ou paramātman. Pour la branche digambara, seuls les hommes peuvent atteindre ce stade. Suivre les Trois Joyaux aident à briser l'illusion et à atteindre l'éveil.

Dans le bouddhisme tibétain

Un druptob est un maître accompli. Orgyenpa Rinchen Pal est qualifié ainsi.

Complement activation by neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease

Medicine - Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical
Brain inflammation is widely documented to occur in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its sources are still incompletely understood. Here, we present in vitro and in situ evidence that, like amyloid β peptide (Aβ), tau, the major protein constituent of the neurofibrillary tangle, is a potent, antibody-independent activator of the classical complement pathway. Complement activation, in turn, is known to drive numerous inflammatory responses, including scavenger cell activation and cytokine production. Because Aβ deposits and extracellular tangles are present from early preclinical to terminal stages of AD, their ability to activate complement provides a ready mechanism for initiating and sustaining chronic, low-level inflammatory responses that may cumulate over the disease course.

Q: What makes Cousin's theorem remarkable? I've stumbled upon a mention of Cousin's theorem in the context of Henstock–Kurzweil integral and got confused. I do not understand why this fact is called a theorem and what makes it any remarkable, when it seems to be a more or less trivial consequence of compactness (in the sens that every open cover has a finite subcover).
Here is the statement taken from Wikipedia (slightly simplified):

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a full cover of $[a, b]$, that is, a collection of closed subintervals of $[a, b]$ with the property that for every $x\in[a, b]$, there exists a $\delta > 0$ so that $\mathcal{C}$ contain all subintervals of $[a, b]$ which contain $x$ and are of length smaller than $\delta$. Then there exists a partition $a = x_0 < x_1 <\dotsb < x_n = b$ of $[a, b]$ such that $[x_{i-1},x_{i}]\in{\mathcal{C}}$ for all $i$.

Is there some historical context that makes this obvious consequence of compactness deserve to be called a theorem? If so, why is this theorem still so often mentioned in the context of Henstock–Kurzweil integral nowadays instead of just referring to the compactness of the interval? Am I missing something?
Clearly, the interval $[a,b]$ is covered by the interiors (the interiors relative to $[a,b]$) of closed intervals in $\mathcal{C}$ such that all their closed subintervals containing their midpoint are also in $\mathcal{C}$, so there is a finite set $\mathcal{D}$ of such closed intervals in $\mathcal{C}$ that covers $[a,b]$. Is the hard part supposed to be to prove that if $[a,b]$ is covered by a finite set $\mathcal{D}$ of closed intervals, then there is a partition $a = x_0 < x_1 <\dotsb < x_n = b$ of $[a, b]$ such that each $[x_{i-1},x_{i}]$ is contained in an element of $\mathcal{D}$ and contains that element's midpoint?

A: After re-reading the Wikipedia article and checking out the suggested reference to Rethinking the elementary real analysis course by Brian Thomson, it looks like to make Cousin's theorem look noteworthy, it may be enough to restate it as follows:

for every gauge $\delta$ on a closed bounded interval, there is a $\delta$-fine (finite) subdivision of that interval,

where a subdivision $a = x_0 < x_1 <\dotsb < x_n = b$ is called $\delta$-fine if and only if for each interval $[x_i, x_{i+1}]$ of the subdivision, there is $x\in [x_i, x_{i+1}]$ such that $[x_i, x_{i+1}]\subset (x -\delta(x), x +\delta(x))$.
When stated in this form, at least it takes less effort to read and grasp the meaning of the statement than to prove it, and its usefulness is more clear.
I should admit that there is a geometric or combinatorial component in this statement in addition to the purely topological compactness property. While trying to write down a proof, I got it wrong two times because was not careful about the order of points on the interval. One proof of Cousin's theorem can be decomposed into a straightforward application of the compactness (Heine-Borel's theorem) and the following geometrico-combinatorial lemma:

For every finite cover $\mathcal{U}$ of an interval $[a, b]$ by open intervals, there is a subdivision $a = x_0 < x_1 <\dotsb < x_n = b$ such that for each interval $[x_i, x_{i+1}]$ of the subdivision, there is an interval in $\mathcal{U}$ containing $[x_i, x_{i+1}]$ and with midpoint in $[x_i, x_{i+1}]$.

Mistrial in eastern Iowa murder
Eric Campbell Jr.
Two other men have already been convicted.
Posted: Dec 8, 2017 3:17 PM
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) - A mistrial has been declared for one of the defendants in an eastern Iowa homicide.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that the attorney for Eric Campbell Jr. asked for the mistrial Thursday when a witness who didn't know Campbell at the time of the crime and previously couldn't identify him mentioned his name during her testimony. A new trial date hasn't been set. The trial was moved to Waterloo because of pretrial publicity in the Dubuque area.
Campbell is one of the men charged with killing 21-year-old Collin Brown on April 2 last year during a robbery attempt at a trailer park in the Dubuque County community of Key West. Two other men, Tacari Minifee and Imere Hall already have been convicted and sent to prison.

A mikrolit a vulkáni kőzetek alapanyagában vagy elegyrészeiben ama mikroszkópos kicsinységű kristályegyének, melyeknek lapjai nem mutatnak egészen éles határvonalakat, de gyakran nagyon nehéz annak meghatározása, hogy mely ásványi anyag alkotja őket. A kristályképződésnek úgyszólván első stádiumai, a továbbképzésben megakadályozta őket az anyagnak gyors megmerevedése. Leggyakrabban vulkáni üregekben találni őket, éspedig a legkülönfélébb alakokban és viszonyok között. Vagy egészen rendezetlenül helyezkedtek el, vagy pedig egyenes vonalakban, vagy követve a megmerevedés előtt izzón folyós anyag hullámzását, mely esetben az illető anyag egykori folyóssága ismerhető fel. Néha az ásványi elegyrészekben egészen szabályos övekben helyezkednek el, és az illető ásványi elegyrész öves, héjas szerkezetének lehetnek okozói. Alakjukat illetően tű-, pálcika-, tüske-, csillag-, fonal-, csavar- stb. alakúak, ami szerint azután más-más a nevük: belonit, krisztallit, trichit, longulit, globulit, margarit.

Caribbean POSH Magazine's Return to the Dot Com
One Publisher's pursuit to Newsstands.
February 14th 2011 – [caribbeanposh.com] British Virgin Islands: It's POSH DAY –Caribbean POSH Magazine has returned to the dot com after an almost two year hiatus.
This is a return worth celebrating since just a year ago it seemed as if the award winning magazine would be no more. The plague of economic down turn had advertisers even more hesitant to invest in advertising in a niche publication run by a young female entrepreneur. "In 2009 I moved back home with plans of increasing distribution in the Caribbean but by 2010 all my dreams were crumbling before my eyes and to make matters worse I had a miscarriage that same year," says Brin.
With the nay sayers in one ear and motivators from complete strangers – decisions had to be made. Brin strongly believed that she couldn't give up the magazine; it was time for directional change. So it would be with the same focus but a different strategy to keep the brand alive.
A diverse background in retail, state government, telecoms, and marketing makes Caribbean POSH MAGAZINE's Publisher, Editor, and Founder an unlikely player in the consumer magazine industry.
Yet, as a company, POSH MAGAZINE shall continue to be a unique contender in the arena, and so will Brin. Her mission in creating and nurturing the brand involves so much more than the latest subscription or cover story…
"POSH MAGAZINE gives Caribbean people an opportunity for a positive and desirable level of exposure", says Brin … "POSH aims to create many educational and business opportunities for the people of the Caribbean". And with the social media take over on the World Wide Web the potential reach of an online magazine is even greater.
Life Fitness and Smart Fit celebrate partnership to equip 450 gyms in three years
Born in St.Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands and raised in Tortola, British Virgin Islands and Bronx, New York, Janette received her Undergraduate Degree in Business Marketing from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland and MBA in Marketing from the University of Phoenix.
In 2005, Brin founded POSH MAGAZINE with the help of family and close friends, excited about the possibilities of a business venture that incorporated her belief in enlightening and empowering Caribbean people, primarily women. Today, in addition to creating and developing new POSH MAGAZINE event products, Brin works to spread the great opportunity offered by this dynamic and innovative company.
Brin is also the proud mother of her 13 year old son Keano.


Some clients will set up meetings using the WebEx meeting software instead of GoToMeeting. In these instances we are asking users to access these meetings using the WebEx temporary application because of potential problems with the WebEx application.

However, using the temporary application will allow you to access your meeting every time without having to worry about potential updates that will cause you to miss the meeting.
After clicking the link to the meeting, an installation will appear. Click Run a temporary application.
A pop up window will appear at the bottom of the screen. Click Run. The meeting will now load in the temporary application.


On October 11, 1992, Pope St. John Paul II declared the Catechism of the Catholic Church "a sure norm for teaching the faith and thus a valid and legitimate instrument for ecclesial communion."[i] Let us examine the key terms in this statement. They help us to understand the character of the Catechism.
We long for the Holy Spirit to lead those whom we catechize into a lively consciousness of this loving union that God has established with them in his Church. This union is the "marvelous exchange" that we celebrate in the Christmas season when the Creator of all became man, born of the Ever-Virgin, making us "sharers in the divinity of Christ who humbled himself to share our humanity."[iv] Only in this way, we know, through living in the light of these truths, can the lives of those we catechize be more perfectly formed into the likeness of Christ. We long for the Holy Spirit to "indoctrinate"[v] those whom we teach—to imbue them with the teachings, the doctrines, of Christ.
The Catechism is given to us precisely for the sake of enabling such an indoctrination to make the teachings of the Church accessible and available to every member of Christ's Body so that each can become "fully mature with the fullness of Christ himself."[vi] We saw in the previous article how the Catechism has been carefully designed specifically to reach out to bring the saving doctrine of the faith to the "edges" and "peripheries" of the Church. This happens when we attend to those still holding to "fragments" of faith in order to gather and bring them into communion with the living whole.
