2009 World Championships in Athletics - Organisation - Media and Marketing
A limited edition €10 coin was produced for the event by the German government, which was only the third occasion that they had done so for a sporting event. The organising committee held a contest to decide the name of its mascot, a running anthropomorphic bear, and the name "Berlino" was chosen. The colour scheme of the event, including the official logo, advertising, and the Olympiastadion's track and field, was blue and green. The committee stated that blue represented reliability while green represented the event's environmental ambitions. The event featured a number of environmentally friendly initiatives, including: free public transport with every ticket sold, efforts to reduce energy usage, considerations for waste and recycling management, and environmentally conscious construction and building management. Furthermore, as part of the United Nations Environment Programme, forty-seven trees (one for each athletics event) were planted to create an "Avenue of Champions" in Berlin. The official song for the event was "Foot of the Mountain" by Norwegian group a-ha.
The broadcasting rights for the Championships were sold to 213 countries, a new high for the event. ARD and ZDF were the host broadcasting TV networks and producers of the TV signal, and they founded a company named BERTA which provided the signal in high-resolution HDTV for TV stations around the world. The average viewing figures in Germany were 5 million with peaks of 9.9 and 8.6 million for the men's 100 metres final and the women's high jump, respectively. The average audience figures in France were 3.5–4 million, 2.5–3.5 million in the United Kingdom and 4–5 million in Japan. The IAAF website received a record number of page hits and unique users: having around 1 million unique users accessing the website on days five and six, and a total of over 90 million page views over the course of the nine days of the competition. Around 3500 media representatives were estimated to have attended the event.
To provide the public with an opportunity to participate in the event, the local organizers also conducted a Champions Run 10K on 22 August between the scheduled time for the men's and women's marathons, using a portion of the official marathon course which passes various Berlin landmarks with a finish at the Brandenburg Gate. The field was limited to 10,000 runners.

Here we'd settled nicely into the whole "flash forward" device only to have the rug pulled out from underneath us again. Last night's episode of LOST didn't use the flash forward technique and wasn't quite a flashback as Desmond--similar to last season's Flashes Before Your Eyes--seemed to toggle back and forth between 2004 and 1996.
DOC JENSEN: Another popular theory making the rounds is that we're dealing with alternate realities. For example, there are people who think the flash-forwards are merely possible future scenarios, not written in stone.
CARLTON CUSE: We want people to believe in the stakes of the show. The problem with alternative realities is that you never know when the rug is going to be pulled out from under you. We want the audience to believe that the jeopardy is real. Postulating alternative realities would be an escape valve that would be damaging that as a narrative value.
DAMON LINDELOF: You can get away with it in Heroes, where there is an apocalyptic future you want to avoid. But we're doing the opposite. We want to work toward a future where Jack is absolutely miserable and wants to go back to the Island. Everything we present to the audience has to be factual.
And if that's not enough for you, Daniel Faraday reiterated that stance in The Constant telling Desmond, "You can't change the future." Hmmm, a bit Calvinistic wouldn't you say?
Very cool how Daniel was able to direct the time-jumping Desmond to his past self--a professor of physics at Oxford--in order to help him with the shifting. A little like Doc Brown and Marty McFly in Back to the Future, no? 1996 Daniel tells Desmond that he needs a "constant" to anchor him in one place. Otherwise he could end up like Daniel's lab rat, Eloise, who suffers from a brain aneurysm and dies. Eloise's fate does happen to Minkowski, who is also suffering from time shifts. So that's it for Fisher Stevens and the mysterious Minkowski? I was expecting more...Obviously Minkowski isn't Ben's mole. And it would appear that Ben's mole is helping the Losties on board the freighter as Minkowski tells Des and Sayid, "Looks like you have a friend on this boat," when the sickbay door is discovered to be ajar allowing them to escape. Did the mole also destroy the phone lines in the communications room?
Looks like we might be getting answers about the Black Rock--a 19th century merchant ship that was shipwrecked on the island in 1845--this season. Charles Widmore purchased the captain's journal at an auction. Could the captain be Richard Alpert? It appears that Black Rock has a Hanso connection as well as the owner of the journal up for sale is Tovar Hanso.
Desmond manages to establish Penny as his anchor and ground himself back in 2004. A tearful phone exchange has Penny promising to find him. She tells him, "I know about the island." So if the freighter people aren't there to help the Losties off the island, will it be Penelope Widmore who rescues them? And with the notation in Daniel's journal that says, "If anything goes wrong Desmond Hume will be my constant," can we expect more time-shifting in upcoming episodes?

« Natural Disasters: God's Permissive Will
Semper Fidelis »
Of Muppets, Gays, and Rubber Duckies
News last week that the folks at Sesame Street have announced that Bert and Ernie are not gay and will not be getting married. Hot on the heels of the major gay marriage victory in New York State, there were voices from within the gay community pushing for Muppet nuptials.
The idea, quite apart from its obvious pathology, also seemed ill-considered. First, Bert and Ernie always seemed to me to be kids, even when I was a child. They didn't seem to me at all adult, and I thought that they were brothers. Having shared a bedroom with my two brothers, the arrangement seemed as natural as my own. As St. Paul says, "To the pure of heart, all things are pure."
Also, do gay men really want a gay-marriage spokesman who spends half the day caressing and singing love songs to his rubber ducky? Come on, guys, really!!!
LifesiteNews has an excellent article on the subject that is well worth the read.
The article mentions some salient points to ponder:
And blogger Alyssa Rosenberg summed up the biggest objection. "I think it's actively unhelpful to gay and straight men alike," she said, "to perpetuate the idea that all same-sex roommates, be they puppet or human, must necessarily be a gay couple … Such assumptions narrow the aperture of what we understand as heterosexual masculinity in a really strange way."
Strange indeed. It teaches the ridiculous and deeply destructive idea that same-sex friendships are necessarily sexual. And that's the last thing we want to teach our children, because it will spell the end of friendship, particularly friendships between young men.
Yet that is precisely the message that's communicated over and over. It's the reason gay apologists want to eroticize Bert and Ernie, David and Jonathan, Jesus and the apostle John, and Achilles and Patroclus from Homer's Iliad.
Some in our culture are apparently incapable of understanding close friendship without sex. And that flies right in the face of a Christian understanding of friendship.
Actually, this points to the pathology that is part of homosexuality. Homosexuality perpetuates itself through seduction, then corruption. Few, very few men have had active heterosexual dating and sexual lives and then woke up in their twenties realizing that they are gay. It doesn't work that way. Most have been initiated as young teens, or younger, by an older male.
This is the same pathology that drives groups such as NAMBLA (North-American Man/Boy Love Association), and the group that recently held a conference promoting pedophilia. It is the same pathology that seeks to establish a beachhead amongst the very youngest, those who are 2-4 years of age.
This isn't about eliminating so-called discrimination. The battle has been won by gays in the courts and in the legislatures of the states where gay marriage is the law of the land. This was an attempt at cultivating children in a developmental stage where sex and sexuality are simply not on the children's radar screen. It was also an attempt, part of a larger effort in the schools, to precondition children years before these issues will be raised by their parents in an age and developmentally-appropriate context.
Seduction, followed by corruption.
It is refreshing to see that Sesame Street's decision was brought to us by the letters "N" and "O".

The article quoted mentions "It teaches the ridiculous and deeply destructive idea that same-sex friendships are necessarily sexual. And that's the last thing we want to teach our children, because it will spell the end of friendship, particularly friendships between young men."
This idea is expounded carefully upon in one of my favorite articles.

I think that the Katy Perry debacle may have been enough ruckus for Sesame Street producers, at least for a little while.

"The battle has been won by gays in the courts and in the legislatures of the states where gay "marriage" is law of the land"…BUT NOT in the hearts or will of the people!
In order for their agender to succeed, it had to go around the people, so they paid/put pressure on the above to get it push through!
on September 2, 2011 at 9:03 AM Ken Craven
The very human thing that there can be, and should be, male friendships of the highest order has been trashed by the New Order. The Greek philosophers and Christian literature have always held male friendships in high esteem. As a literature professor (retired), I deeply lament what has been done in the teaching of literature. Huckleberry Finn and Moby Dick–trashed. Children are now afraid of each other.

Atmospheric Chemistry Program Seminar
Chemistry of Organic Compounds in the Atmosphere and Indoor Air by Prof. Paul Ziemann, CU Boulder and Recent Results and Upcoming Projects to Investigate Aerosol Sources, Properties, Processes, and Fate by Prof Jose-Luis Jimenez, CU Boulder
Chemistry of Organic Compounds in the Atmosphere and Indoor Air
Prof Paul Ziemann
"Laboratory studies provide much of the fundamental data on reaction kinetics, products, and mechanisms that are needed to understand atmospheric and indoor air chemistry and to develop models that are used to establish air quality regulations and predict the effects of human activities. Research in my laboratory focuses primarily on environmental chamber studies of the atmospheric chemistry of organic compounds emitted from natural and anthropogenic sources and the physical and chemical processes by which oxidized organic reaction products form aerosol particles. In addition to this we have recently conducted a number of studies of indoor air chemistry at CU. In this talk I will describe how we conduct the studies by using a diverse array of measurement techniques."
Recent Results and Upcoming Projects to Investigate Aerosol Sources, Properties, Processes, and Fate
Prof Jose-Luis Jimenez
"Organic aerosols (OA) account for about 1/2 of the submicron particle mass in the atmosphere leading to important impacts on climate, human health, and other issues, but their sources, properties, and evolution are poorly understood. In this talk I will present an overview and highlights of research on OA instrumentation, measurements, and modeling by our group over the last year, as well as of upcoming projects of potential interest to 1st year students. Ongoing projects include global aerosol measurements and analysis as part of the NASA ATOM project, which is sampling (almost) pole-to-pole across the vertical profile. Initial model comparisons suggest the importance of fast OA removal channels. We have used an Oxidation Flow Reactor (OFR) at multiple field studies and find consistent patterns, where SOA formation by O3 and NO3 are consistent with models, while formation by OH is substantially underpredicted unless semivolatile and intermediate volatility species are accounted for. We are using the GECKO-A fully explicit model to investigate this underprediction, as well as to characterize the similarities and differences of the chemical regimes across the OFR, large chambers, and the atmosphere. We are investigating gas/particle partitioning in the laboratory for different types of particles. Finally, we are continuing to explore the chemistry of indoor air with ToF-CIMS and other instruments. Future outdoor campaigns may include the study of emissions and chemical evolution of smoke from real fires in the western US (NASA FireChem) with AMS and soft-ionization EESI-TOF. Future indoor campaigns will involve sampling at locations such as dining halls, gyms, and art museums."

Beyond water: impact of Greenland's melt on its coastal sediment dynamics
Irina Overeem, INSTAAR, University of Colorado
Melt of the Greenland Ice Sheet releases large amounts of freshwater into the ocean, raising sea level globally. What else drains out of Greenland with this freshwater?
Here, we use field measurements, massively parallel satellite data analysis, and modeling to investigate sediment and nutrient fluxes and its possible impacts on biogeochemical cycles and the coastal zone.
In-situ data and satellite methods demonstrate a tremendous amount of sediment drain from Greenland. River suspended sediment concentrations are highly variable, which is explained by a first-order model of glacial dynamics, with meltwater drainage basins with high glacier velocities producing the highest sediment concentrations. We find that, although runoff from Greenland represents only 1.1% of the Earth's freshwater flux, the Greenland ice sheet produces approximately 8% of the modern fluvial export of fine sediment to the global ocean.
Whereas we do not have in-situ data on coarse bedload sediments, we infer coarse sediment transport from river delta dynamics. Systematic mapping of 121 Greenland's deltas used historical air photos and more recent satellite imagery. We found that southwestern Greenland deltas were largely stable from the 1940s to 1980s, but prograded in a warming Arctic from the 1980s to 2010s. Statistical analysis corroborates that delta progradation has dominantly been driven by higher meltwater runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Greenland's sediment dynamics may be unique in the world. As most of world's rivers are carrying less sediment due to damming and temperate deltas are drowning from human-caused subsidence and global sea level rise, Greenland's sediment fluxes are, in contrast, advancing because of the increased mass loss from Greenland's land-based ice.

Better Understanding Climate and Atmospheric Chemistry by Understanding the Formation of Mixed Phase Clouds by Prof Dan Cziczo, MIT
"Field and laboratory measurements using cloud chambers have been used to understand the atmospheric abundance of droplet and ice nucleating particles and to, in turn, construct parameterizations for mixed-phase and completely glaciated clouds in weather and climate models. This seminar investigates measurements of which particles act as the nuclei for droplets and ice crystals and how we can then mimic those particles in the laboratory to understand how clouds form in our atmosphere. We show here that assumptions about the source of the particles as well as uncertainty in the laboratory and field measurements propagate into uncertainty in our understanding of the Earth's climate and the chemistry of our atmosphere.
When we consider cloud chambers, uncertainty is likely inherent to varying degrees in all instruments and is caused by a variety of factors including exposure of particles to different humidities and/or temperatures than predicated from theory. This can result in a variable underestimation of reported droplet and ice concentrations. This is a critical issue for models which relay on these data for correct parameterizations of cloud formation. For ice clouds in particular, we find that simulated long wave ice-bearing cloud forcing in a global climate model can vary up to 0.8 W/m2 and can change sign from positive to negative within the experimentally constrained bias range.
We'll conclude with a discussion of possible instrument improvements and how these can improve our understanding of climate, precipitation and atmospheric chemistry."

SAR Remote Sensing for Monitoring Mountain Glacier Surface Movements in High Mountain Asia by
Zhixing Ruan, Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth (RADI), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
She is a visitor at NSIDC for the 2017-2018 school year, working with NSIDC's glaciologist Bruce Raup
Mountain glacier dynamic parameters, such as velocity fields and motion patterns, are important for studies of environment and climate change in high mountain Asia. Characterized by being independent of cloud cover and solar illumination, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) operating at long wavelength has provided an invaluable way to detect and measure mountain glacier motion. However, the traditional algorithms applied to mountain glacier regions are constrained by the complex terrain and diverse glacial motion types. In order to derive glacier velocities continually and efficiently, we propose a modified processing strategy to exploit SAR data information for mountain glaciers. In my presentation, I will introduce our improved algorithms for compensating non-glacial-motion-related signals which exist in the offset values retrieved by sub-pixel cross-correlation of SAR image pairs. I will also present some study cases of glacier motion changes based on our algorithms, such as West Kunlun Mountain, Muztag Mountain and Kungay Mountain in western China.
Indoor air (photo)chemistry: A world-wide concern by Sasho Gligorovski
State Key Laboratory of Organic Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences
"The first field campaign performed in a high school in Marseille, France (2011) confirmed the existence of hydroxyl radicals (OH) that were more in line with typical outdoor concentrations than indoor concentrations (Gomez Alvarez et al., 2013). It was demonstrated that photolysis of nitrous acid (HONO) is the most important source of these highly reactive OH radicals in the indoor air. This set of innovatory first direct measurements of OH radicals indoors was followed with also avant-garde measurements of the solar actinic fluxes which can penetrate indoors and photolysis frequencies of key indoor species (Gandolfo et al., 2016). The results obtained are of enormous repercussions and need to be studied in the next few years much more profoundly due to their still unexplored implications. The facts just mentioned need to be taken in combination with the elevated concentrations of HONO present in the indoor air (Gligorovski, 2016). In addition, HONO is an important indoor air pollutant, which can react with amines leading to carcinogenic nitrosamines. While our understanding of photochemistry of the indoor surfaces is still in its infancy, the recent results (Gomez Alvarez et al., 2014, Gandolfo et al., 2015, 2017) based on the light induced heterogeneous NO2 reactions on domestic surfaces leading to HONO formation, suggest that it is an area that should be pursued further. Another campaign carried out in an office in Martigue, France (2016) was dedicated to evaluation of OH radical source strength. Again, the photochemical reactions play an important role to the oxidation capacity of indoor atmosphere. If we consider all these facts carefully, the concentration of OH radicals indoors, could reach levels that would be of serious concern from the standpoint of public health. For these reasons, it is very important to dedicate more efforts to determine the OH concentrations that can be attained in various indoor settings, in relation to factors such as light intensity, HONO concentrations, and humidity, among others."

Sustained assessment in the US southwest by Benét Duncan, Western Water Assessment, University of Colorado Boulder
This talk will be available via live webcast. To view the live webcast please go to Adobe Connect and login as a guest.
The US National Climate Assessment provides foundational information about the impacts of climate change in large assessment reports that are released every four years. In the most recent report (NCA3), authors highlighted the value of developing a sustained national climate assessment in which information is produced on an ongoing basis. In the Sustained Climate Assessment in the Southwest project, researchers at Western Water Assessment are investigating opportunities for sustained climate assessment in the US Southwest National Climate Assessment (NCA) region – an area that consists of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. This work is focused on developing recommendations for an ongoing, regional climate assessment process in collaboration with climate service providers and users. Such a process would provide timely and regionally-relevant climate information that is sometimes more detailed than what can be included in a national-scale assessment like the NCA. It would also connect climate information providers and users to increase understanding of climate impacts in decision-making contexts, and build a foundation of knowledge and relationships that can be drawn on in larger-scale assessment processes.
This talk will focus on the history of sustained climate assessment and the value of a regional approach, and explore opportunities and challenges that have arisen in the process of developing recommendations for a regional assessment process.
Biography: Benét Duncan is Western Water Assessment's Climate Assessment Specialist, and she is leading the Sustained Climate Assessment in the Southwest project. She works to understand how organizations produce climate services and the climate information needs of stakeholders in our region with the ultimate goal of contributing to a regional and national scale sustained climate assessment infrastructure. Prior to joining WWA, Benét worked at the science-policy interface with the California Ocean Science Trust. Before that, she was a postdoctoral fellow in UCAR's Postdocs Applying Climate Expertise (PACE) program, hosted by Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. Benét received her MS and PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from the University of Colorado, and her BS in Atmospheric Science from the University of California Davis.

Special Speaker: Integrated optics for mid- and long-wavelength sensing
Presented by: Juliet T. Gopinath & Wounjhang Park
Recently, ultrafast and nonlinear integrated devices have captured interest for frequency metrology, sensing, and imaging. An excellent platform for nonlinear optical devices is offered by chalcogenide glasses, which contain a chalcogen element such as S, Se or Te covalently bonded to one or more elements. These materials have many favorable attributes including high nonlinearities, long wavelength transparencies up to 20 mm, flexible substrate choice, and low nonlinear absorption.
In particular, Ge28Se12Sb60 chalcogenide material is attractive due to its As-free composition, stability, large nonlinearity and high glass transition temperature of 300 oC. Progress on integrated optical devices for the near, mid, and long-wavelength infrared is presented, including nonlinear optical characterization of bulk and thin-film samples, waveguides, and resonant structures. These devices are particularly promising for sensing and as flexible optical sources.
Additionally, miniature diode-based laser systems as well as light with orbital angular momentum will be discussed for sensing applications.

VOCs off-gassed by laser and inkjet printers; and CH4, CO2, and N2O gas fluxes in created wetlands by Wyatt Brown, CU Boulder, ANYL first year student
"Indoor air quality has become a more prominently researched subject in recent years, and indoor office environments are still poorly understood in terms of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with them. We have identified and quantified various VOCs off-gassed by laser and inkjet printers using solid phase micro-extraction in conjunction with GC/MS.
In the outdoor environment, it has been well-established that wetlands are important ecosystems for the planet and provide a multitude of ecological services. In order to combat the widespread destruction of wetlands, restoration efforts have recently seen a dramatic increase in prevalence. However, there is a complex, poorly understood relationship between the functions of created wetlands and the emission of greenhouse gasses. In this talk, the preliminary data on CH4, CO2, and N2O gas fluxes in created wetlands is presented. Preliminary dissolved organic matter (DOM) studies are also presented."
The reaction of acetyl peroxy radical with hydroperoxy radical by Marla DeVault, CU Boulder, ANYL first year student
"I spent three summers working in Prof. Keith Kuwata's computational chemistry lab at Macalester College. Primarily, my research focused on improving the steps taken to simulate reactions of organic peroxy radicals (OPR's) in the atmosphere. More specifically, I studied the reaction of acetyl peroxy radical with hydroperoxy radical, which is thought to be a source of hydroxy radical. These steps include determining which simple model chemistry could most accurately model the reaction, investigating the viability of non-reactive conformers, and testing methods for calculating the energy of transition structures."
Climate and congress: The making of a citizen by Grant Couch, Citizen's Climate Lobby
Grant Couch is the founder of the Conservative Caucus within Citizens Climate Lobby - a national, non-partisan group advocating for a national price on CO2 and other GhGs. Until he left full-time work Grant never gave "global warming" much thought. However after studying the issue he became convinced it is a critical reality that needs US leadership to create a solution. Today's talk will cover his personal journey as a life-long, fiscal conservative who moved from apathy to action on climate. Some of the issues to be covered include: Is there a meaningful solution - with a viable political path? Is non-partisan citizen lobbying possible on such a politically polarized issue? How does Congress really work? What does it mean to be a citizen?
Biography: Grant graduated from Lehigh University in 1971 with an MBA and a BS in Mechanical Engineering and worked in the financial services industry at a number of Wall Street firms. He retired from full-time work in the financial industry in 2008 as the President & COO of Countrywide Securities Corp and moved to Boulder in 2008 to be the CEO of Louisville-based Sounds True until 2010. He retired in 2015 as the Chairman of the Bank of Manhattan and Manhattan Bancorp. Grant is currently a member of the investment committee of Aravaipa, a Colorado-based, impact technology VC fund and he serves on the Board of Zen Peacemakers International. He is also a Zen teacher in the Hakuyu Taizan Maezumi lineage.

Paleo-environmental studies on permafrost deposits in western Beringia - from field sampling to lab analysis to regional synthesis by Lutz Schirrmeister, Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Periglacial Research Unit, Potsdam
The Department of Periglacial Research of the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research is studying permafrost deposits as paleo-environmental archives. We have been working on this topic successfully with collaborators from Russia and North America for more than 20 years: Starting in the 1990's in Siberia on Taymyr Peninsula, we continued with field studies further east along the Laptev Sea and East Siberian coasts, in Central Yakutia, as well as on the Chukotka Peninsula. In addition, in the early 2000's we started field investigations of permafrost deposits in Alaska and Northwest Canada.
In the beginning of my presentation I will provide a short introduction about our institute, especially the Periglacial Research unit, located in AWI's Potsdam site near Berlin. Based on my almost 20 years' experience in the periglacial department I will then focus on my own research field and projects. Starting with some visual impressions of field work in Siberia, I will show the conditions of sample collection and field measurements, and how these conditions have changed during the last two decades. Sampling of permafrost outcrops and cores as well as sampling of unfrozen active layer and lake sediments resulted in a broad range of sample materials from a diverse set of cryostratigraphies, which we used for different sedimentological, geochronological, hydrochemical, mineralogical, and paleoecolgoical studies in order to reconstruct periglacial paleoenvironments in our research area.
Using this multidisciplinary approach, we are able to reconstruct paleo-environmental conditions for the last 200.000 years at several Arctic sites. We use such windows into the past as an analogue to future warming, and reconstruction of the landscape for improved process understanding (e.g. soil, plants, geomorphology). Our focus is largely on the late Pleistocene and Holocene periods covering the last 50.000 years. During this period, large areas in northeastern Siberia, northern Alaska, and northwest Canada were not glaciated, including during the ice age. This region, including the Arctic shelf regions subaerially exposed during the late Pleistocene, is called Beringia.
I will present results from our studies covering old pre-Eemian (Sangamon) permafrost with large ice wedges, which were partially thawed during the interglacial warming ca. 125.000 years ago. I was able to study ice wedge casts including interglacial lake deposits and flood plain sediments deposited during the early Weichselian (Wisconsinan), as well as ice-rich permafrost, called Yedoma (mid and late Wisconsian). Finally there was a great change in the landscape geomorphology and environmental conditions induced by the warming period at the late Pleistocene Holocene transition. This period in Beringia was marked by
the extinction of the mammoth fauna and the connected tundra-steppe flora
the rise of the global sea level and the flooding of the Arctic shelves
the restructuring of the hydrological networks because of thawing of large Yedoma Ice Complex areas, and
the formation of the modern periglacial tundra landscapes with numerous thermokarst lakes and basins as well as thermo-erosional gullies.
Finally, I will give an outlook on current research and future work of our group at the Periglacial Research unit of AWI with a particular focus on permafrost organic carbon dynamics in the Yedoma region as well as modern ecological analogues to fossil bio-indicators.

Chemistry of peroxy radicals and soot formation at combustion conditions by Prof Sandeep Sharma, CU Boulder, PChem
"In this presentation, I will focus on the chemistry of peroxy radicals and soot formation at combustion conditions. Both these topics are of immense technological importance and will also allow me to present the latest theoretical techniques used to study them. These include the use of automated mechanism generators to build complex reaction mechanisms, the use of transition state theory to calculate rates of elementary reactions, and the use of the semiclassical method for calculating the partition function of anharmonic vibrational modes. The aim is to physically motivate these techniques and highlight the conditions under which we expect them to be predictive and also discuss their shortcomings. I will end the presentation with a short review of the latest work from my group that aims to address some of the shortcomings."

Laurentide ice sheets, the Isthmus of Panamá, & the Great American Biotic Interchange: A tectonic red herring inserted between climatic cause and biological consequence by Dr. Peter Molnar
Geological Sciences & CIRES, University of Colorado Boulder
Two events occurred virtually simultaneously at ~2.5 Ma: the first big ice sheet of Northern Hemisphere Ice Ages reached as far south as St. Louis, and largely large mammals crossed through the Isthmus of Panamá from North to South America and vice versa in the Great American Biotic Interchange. An emergent isthmus is necessary for such animals to change hemispheres. In a popular myth, recited by textbooks, the isthmus emerged near ~2.5 Ma or perhaps slightly earlier, and by doing so, it altered Atlantic Circulation sufficiently to enable ice sheets grow on Canada. I contend that such logic is inverted. Large Laurentide ice sheets pushed the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) southward so as to cool and aridify eastern Panamá, and create a savannah-like environment. Most of the animals involved in the Great American Biotic Interchange seem to have been savannah-dwellers, and I presume that they would have avoided the swamps, jungles, snakes, crocodiles, mosquitoes, and other nasty predators in eastern Panamá before savannah-like environments drew them in and facilitated safe passage. So, the Great American Biotic Interchange is not a symptom of a tectonic change that enabled Ice Ages, but instead a consequence of those Ice Ages.

Wayfarer TV review: British Airways' Club World offers a Dreamy flight on the Boeing 787-9
Over the past decade, British Airways' Club World has been popular for business and leisure travellers, particularly when it comes to the experience aboard the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, thanks to fantastic English hospitality, comfortable seats and brilliant food and wine as James Wilkinson discovers.
It was back in late-2017 when British Airways kick-started a £600m investment in its popular Club World business class cabins, adding restaurant-style dining, a luxurious sleeper service and new amenity kits.
At the time it was heralded as one of the most exciting projects the airline had ever done since first launching sleeper seats in the carrier's business class cabins and was aimed at propelling British Airways as once more a leader in the field.
Fast forward five years and the enhancements – which also included WiFi across the carrier's fleet – have been an absolute winner for British Airways and while the airline has introduced a new Club Suite, gradually being fitted and now available on various routes including Sydney, the existing Club World product continues to offer a fantastic Business Class experience.
British Airways' Club World on the Boeing 787-9 is laid out in a 2x4x2, forwards-backwards configuration and the choice of seats for solo travellers are most definitely the windows or the aisles, while couples will enjoy the privacy in the middle two seats.
Thanks to the stylish bedding styled by The White Company – which includes a bespoke, luxuriously soft large pillow and pillowcase, super-soft woven blanket with satin trim and a specially developed luxury duvet – the experience is undoubtedly at its best when it comes to sleeping onboard.
The seats into a 183cm (6ft) fully flat bed with a fully adjustable headrest that offers lumbar support and it is both spacious and comfortable for sleeping and relaxing while watching a British film or TV show.
You'll find the window seats on the Boeing 787-9 are the best if you can score one, given the extra privacy away from the aisle, especially in the small Business Class cabin behind First, which is in rows 6 and 7.
For freshening up, The White Company amenity kits also impress and they contain products from the retailer's 'Restore and Relax Spa Collection', as well as a super-soft jersey eye-mask, offering a further touch of luxury in the sky.
While sleep is undoubtedly the greatest reason many travellers fly in Business Class, British Airways also comes to the fore when it comes to inflight dining, something that was also elevated in 2017 and continues to impress.
Meals, on flights from Sydney to Singapore for example, feature a starter, main course, cheese and dessert and some top dishes include roasted barbecue pork, seared salmon fillet, pappardelle pasta and on the sweet side, white chocolate and passionfruit cake and a selection or brie, cheddar and more.
When it comes to beverages, British Airways is renowned for its wine lists and on long-haul Club World flights expect Canard-Duchene Champagne, and white and red wines from across the globe, spanning Chile, South Africa, the USA and Portugal on current flights.
Some wines to be enjoyed include, the DeMorgenzon Chardonnay from Stellenbosch in South Africa, the Chateau Ste Michele Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State in the USA and Graham's Six Grapes Reserve from the Douro Valley in Portugal.
With your meal, you'll want to enjoy a good TV show or film and onboard the 'High Life' entertainment offering expect fantastic shows and movies like a box set of Yellowstone's 1883, alongside new release flicks and British Classics such as Downton Abbey.
Before and after flights to and from London, those flying in Club World will have access to the Galleries Lounges and the Arrivals Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5, which means fantastic pre-flight dining or freshening up in one of the only arrivals lounges offered by any airline in the world.
Headlining the global network, British Airways has also just opened-up several new lounges inside Terminal 8 at New York's John F Kennedy Airport in partnership with American Airlines and also offers a comfortable lounge at Singapore's Changi Airport.
Remember not to fill-up before departure though, because the inflight dining is exceptional.
Having flown the Club World offering over a dozen times since the late-2017 enhancements, it's impressive that British Airways continues to improve the cabin, even as the Club Suite continues to roll-out.
The Club World offers fantastic value and thanks to the Great British service on offer, it is always a great way to fly.
We are very impressed with what British Airways has to offer in Club World and can't wait to experience the elevated Club Suite product in the future.
JOIN THE EXECUTIVE CLUB
Those flying on British Airways in Club World should consider joining the carrier's Executive Club program, which was recently re-introduced in Australia.
According to British Airways, some of the program's key benefits include:
• Collect Avios when you fly with British Airways and oneworld airline partners, book a selected hotel and car hire; or take a holiday, hotel stay or car rental with British Airways Holidays;
• With a return flight from Sydney to London in the Club World business cabin, you will earn enough Executive Club Tier Points for a Bronze membership and enough Avios for a reward flight from Sydney to Auckland with the carrier's oneworld airline partners (taxes, fees & carrier charges apply);
• Claim Avios and Tier Points on any British Airways flights flown in the three months before joining the programme;
• Spend Avios on a range of benefits, such as reward flights, cabin upgrades, hotels and car rental; and
• Pool your Avios with up to six people who live with you, including children, with our Household Account to earn rewards quicker.
You can also reduce the price of your next flight using Avios – you can save with as little as 1,000 Avios – on British Airways flights, American Airlines flights between the UK and North America and on British Airways codeshare flights with selected partner airlines.

There are several businesses out there that claim that they can get you ranked higher on Google, and most of them probably can. What makes us different at The Search Source is how we track, monitor and optimize your Pay Per Click (PPC) Campaign. From tracking each website visitor to recording every phone call generated through our efforts, we make sure that you know exactly what you are getting for your money.
One way we bring a better experience to our customers is through our tracking and custom landing pages. Most people think that having the first paid ad on search engine results means that a company is spending more money than its competitors. This is not the case with Pay Per Click PPC Advertising. Every keyword is assigned a quality score. This is a number ranging from zero to ten that shows how well that keyword relates to the website and the ad that is shown on the search engines. When you work with a team like ours you will get custom ad groups, call recording lines, complete detailed analytics and custom landing pages optimized with content relevant to the keywords we are using. We do it all for only a small management fee. We don't charge extra if several new customers contact you because of our efforts. You shouldn't have to pay extra for us doing our jobs right.
One great way to increase conversion rates with Pay Per Click PPC advertising is by setting up custom landing pages that speak to your visitors. We set up custom ad groups with unique optimized landing pages for the best campaign performance.
Our client dashboard is set to display total visitors, conversions and call tracking. When logged in our clients have the ability to listen to phone calls and see how many visits the site is reaching on a daily basis. Reporting is updated in real time.
As time passes our campaign managers use different tools to analyze each and every campaign on a daily or weekly basis. This allows us to see where our clients' money is best spent so we can increase conversions and phone calls.
How long will it take for us to start seeing the ads online?
PPC only takes 3 to 5 business days to set up. After set up is complete your ads will be live on the search engines within 24 hours.
Other companies charge for conversions. Do you?
No, we will never bill you if you receive an email, phone call or online form submission due to our efforts.
What are the fees with your Pay Per Click Marketing?
We charge a small management fee based on your budget. The higher your budget is, the lower the management fee.
What about my competitors? Will they be able to click on our ad and waste our budget?
In the past this has caused problems, but now Google, Yahoo and Bing have put a stop to it. The search engine only counts the first click from any specific IP address. So if a competitor repeatedly clicks on your Pay Per Click ad, it will still only cost you the one click.


The Girls on the Run non-profit organization (GOTR) for Montgomery County had their 16th 5k race on Sunday May 17 at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. The Girls on the Run is nationwide but this run was for Montgomery County residents. GOTR uses running to help girls from third through eighth grade gain self esteem and team work skills. They train for two races each school year, one in the fall and one in the spring. The girls train to do the runs in a non-competitive atmosphere, yet they are all winners just by completing the run. Each "chapter" is based out of a school and is done as an after school activity. The group meets and trains at their school. All the training is done by volunteer parents and the event does get sponsors and recognition.
This year there was visits and speakers by Julie Wright, one of the traffic reporters on WJLA, as well as one of our own council members Nancy Floreen. County Cable Montgomery was there covering the event with a reporter.

Adherence to the Nicene Creed is a common test of orthodoxy in Christianity.
Orthodoxy (from Greek: ὀρθοδοξία, orthodoxía, 'righteous/correct opinion')[1][2] is adherence to correct or accepted creeds, especially in religion.[3]
Orthodoxy within Christianity is a spectrum wherein different Churches accept different forms of creeds and councils. Such difference of opinions has occurred due to the language and cultural barriers that the Church Fathers had to face when expressing a theological opinion. The Eastern Orthodox Churches adheres to the orthodoxy portrayed in the first seven ecumenical councils, while the Oriental Orthodox Churches finds their Orthodoxy in the first three ecumenical councils.[4][5]
In some English-speaking countries, Jews who adhere to all the traditions and commandments as legislated in the Talmud are often called Orthodox Jews.
The historical Buddha was known to denounce mere attachment to scriptures or dogmatic principles, as it was mentioned in the Kalama Sutta.[6] Moreover, the Theravada school of Buddhism follows strict adherence to the Pāli Canon (tripiṭaka) and the commentaries such as the Visuddhimagga. Hence, the Theravada school came to be considered the most orthodox of all Buddhist schools, as it is known to be highly conservative especially within the discipline and practice of the Vinaya.[citation needed]
The Greek Cross, flanked by the Greek letters "ICXC NIKA" which means "JESUS CHRIST PREVAILS".
In classical Christian usage, the term orthodox refers to the set of doctrines which were believed by the early Christians. A series of ecumenical councils were held over a period of several centuries to try to formalize these doctrines. The most significant of these early decisions was that between the Homoousian doctrine of Athanasius and Eustathius (which became Trinitarianism) and the Heteroousian doctrine of Arius and Eusebius (Arianism). The Homoousian doctrine, which defined Jesus as both God and man with the canons of the 431 Council of Ephesus, won out in the Church and was referred to as orthodoxy in most Christian contexts, since this was the viewpoint of previous Christian Church Fathers and was reaffirmed at these councils. (The minority of nontrinitarian Christians object to this terminology.)
Following the 1054 Great Schism, both the Western Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church continued to consider themselves uniquely orthodox and catholic. Augustine wrote in On True Religion: "Religion is to be sought…only among those who are called Catholic or orthodox Christians, that is, guardians of truth and followers of right."[7] Over time, the Western Church gradually identified with the "Catholic" label, and people of Western Europe gradually associated the "Orthodox" label with the Eastern Church (in some languages the "Catholic" label is not necessarily identified with the Western Church). This was in note of the fact that both Catholic and Orthodox were in use as ecclesiastical adjectives as early as the 2nd and 4th centuries respectively.
Much earlier, the earliest Oriental Orthodox Churches had split from Chalcedonian Christianity after the Council of Chalcedon (AD 451), because of several christological differences.[8] Since then, Oriental Orthodox Churches are maintaining the orthodox designation as a symbol of their theological traditions.[9]
Orthodoxy does not exist in Hinduism,[10] as the word Hindu itself collectively refers to the various beliefs of people who lived beyond the Sindhu river of the Indus Valley Civilization. It is a synthesis of the accepted teachings of each of thousands of gurus, who others equate to prophets,[11] and has no founder, no authority or command, but recommendations. The term most equivalent to orthodoxy at best has the meaning of "commonly accepted" traditions rather than the usual meaning of "conforming to a doctrine", for example, what people of middle eastern faiths attempt to equate as doctrine in Hindu philosophies is Sanatana Dharma, but which at best can be translated to mean "ageless traditions", hence denoting that they are accepted not through doctrine and force but through multi-generational tests of adoption and retention based on circumstantial attrition through millennia.[12]
Sunni Islam is sometimes referred to as "orthodox Islam".[13][14][15] However, other scholars of Islam, such as John Burton believe that there is no such thing as "orthodox Islam."[16]
Orthodox Judaism is a collective term for the traditionalist branches of Judaism, which seek to fully maintain the received Jewish beliefs and observances and which coalesced in opposition to the various challenges of modernity and secularization. Theologically, it is chiefly defined by regarding the Torah, both Written and Oral, as literally revealed by God on biblical Mount Sinai and faithfully transmitted ever since. The movement advocates a strict observance of halakha (Jewish Law), which is to be interpreted only according to received methods due to its divine character. Orthodoxy considers halakha as eternal and beyond historical influence, being applied differently to changing circumstances but basically unchangeable in itself.
Orthodox Judaism is not a centralized denomination. Relations between its different subgroups are sometimes strained and the exact limits of Orthodoxy are subject to intense debate. Very roughly, it may be divided between Haredi Judaism, which is more conservative and reclusive, and Modern Orthodox Judaism, which is relatively open to outer society. Each of those is itself formed of independent streams. They are almost uniformly exclusionist, regarding Orthodoxy as the only authentic form of Judaism and rejecting all non-Orthodox interpretations as illegitimate.
Kemetic Orthodoxy is a denomination of Kemetism, a reform reconstruction of Egyptian polytheism for modern followers. It claims to derive a spiritual lineage from the Ancient Egyptian religion.[17]
There are organizations of Slavic Native Faith (Rodnovery) which characterize the religion as Orthodoxy, and by other terms.
Outside the context of religion, the term orthodoxy is often used to refer to any commonly held belief or set of beliefs in some field, in particular when these tenets, possibly referred to as "dogmas", are being challenged. In this sense, the term has a mildly pejorative connotation.
Among various "orthodoxies" in distinctive fields, the most commonly used terms are:
The terms orthodox and orthodoxy are also used more broadly to refer to things other than ideas and beliefs. A new and unusual way of solving a problem could be referred to as unorthodox, while a common and 'normal' way of solving a problem would be referred to as orthodox.
Orthodoxy is opposed to heterodoxy ('other teaching') or heresy. People who deviate from orthodoxy by professing a doctrine considered to be false are called heretics, while those who, perhaps without professing heretical beliefs, break from the perceived main body of believers are called schismatics. The term employed sometimes depends on the aspect most in view: if one is addressing corporate unity, the emphasis may be on schism; if one is addressing doctrinal coherence, the emphasis may be on heresy. A deviation lighter than heresy is commonly called error, in the sense of not being grave enough to cause total estrangement, while yet seriously affecting communion. Sometimes error is also used to cover both full heresies and minor errors. Doctrine or practices not regarded as essential to faith, with which Christians can legitimately disagree, are known as adiaphora.
The concept of orthodoxy is prevalent in many forms of organized monotheism. However, orthodox belief is not usually overly emphasized in polytheistic or animist religions, in which there is often little or no concept of dogma, and varied interpretations of doctrine and theology are tolerated and sometimes even encouraged within certain contexts. Syncretism, for example, plays a much wider role in non-monotheistic (and particularly, non-scriptural) religion. The prevailing governing norm within polytheism is often orthopraxy ('right practice') rather than the "right belief" of orthodoxy.

LOWER PAXTON TWP., DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. -- Some food truck workers don't have much of an escape from the heat.
"The hottest part is really where I'm standing, because this is where the stove and griddle is. When this is on, that heat is coming out!" said Abdul Moosa, owner of 717tacos.
Still, Abdul Moosa, the owner of 717tacos in Dauphin County, gets right to it, sizzling up meat over a hot stove all so some hungry people can chow down on a delicious meal.
"This looks and smells like pure goodness. I don't know how else to say it," said Aaron Gates, a customer.
Abdul and Maxi Moosa own the truck, a husband and wife duo who put a twist on your typical taco.
"We have Hondura chicken, Indian style tacos - so we're always trying to switch things up!" explained Abdul.
When you're constantly cooking inside a truck, with no air conditioning, and the sun beating down on you, it's only natural to get a bit sweaty.
"I'll tell you, when I started the truck, I lost twenty pounds, really because you're on your feet, it's hot, and you just go," laughed Abdul.
A small fan circulates the air, and the back door is usually open.
The key, though, Abdul says, just keep on moving, and remember, others probably have it worse.
"I equate it to - you have the construction workers out there on the roof of the house and all that. It's a lot hotter out there than in here so when you think about that, you kind of cool off," he said.
They get their regular customers, people like Sammy Bilger.
"They've been here like 6 months or so, every Tuesday, so taco Tuesday, I come to work, and I'm like, 'yay, taco Tuesday!" said Bilger.
"I'm honestly, I love tacos, any type of Mexican food is my honest favorite," said Keegan Hoffman, a customer.
They say they'll serve their customers rain, snow, or scorching sun.
"Whether it's snow or the heat, we're out there because these people rely on us for food, and so it's just like a restaurant, you got to be open," said Abdul.
Abdul says it can be 10-15 degrees hotter inside a food truck than outside in the sun.

Q: mixing version can lead to runtime crashes? implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'

All com.android.support libraries must use exact same version specification. Mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes.
Found versions 27.1.1, 27.1.0. Examples include com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:27.1.1 and com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.0
Please help me to solve this problem...

A: The issue usually rises when third-party libraries are using an older version of the support library. You can get over it by looking at which lib is using the older version and add this to your build gradle on the app level
implementation "com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:27.1.1"
implementation "com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.1"

In my case, it was the Facebook SDK so I replace this
implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.23.0'

with
implementation('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.23.0') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'animated-vector-drawable'
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'cardview-v7'
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'customtabs'
}

and all my warnings disappeared

A: 27.1.1 is the latest version of the Android support library. So just replace the version to 27.1.1 for all com.android.support dependencies you're using. No reason not to.

A: I completed the answers of Mukesh Solanki with:
    dependencies{
        implementation ('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.36.1'){
                // contains com.android.support:v7:27.0.2, included required com.android.support.*:27.1.1 modules
                exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'animated-vector-drawable'
                exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'cardview-v7'
                exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'customtabs'
            }
            implementation "com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:27.1.1"
            implementation "com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.1"
            implementation "com.android.support:customtabs:27.1.1"
        }

}

And all my problem when away

Private-Label Brands are Hungry for More of the Global Food Pie
CPG, FMCG & Retail | 03-06-2018
separate addresses by comma
There's a new retail revolution underway, and it's going to affect the global food industry in ways the market hasn't seen before. The revolution comes at the hand of store-branded products, which continue to gain share across all major geographies and pose a significant challenge for brands and manufacturers around the globe.
The growth in retailer-developed private-label products is being fueled by the wider choice that the digital economy offers consumers and the globalization of shopping trends. The growth is also noteworthy in markets where disruption is present in the trade structure. For example, we see changes in the developed markets of Western Europe, where discounters are aggressively gaining market share. But disruption in the trade structure is only the tip of the iceberg.
Consumers today have access to endless information. As a result, their expectations are changing, and consumers are shopping differently. For example, many now see private-label brands as being equivalent to or substitutable for multinational brands. When consumers consider quality, many view private-label products as good as multinational brands and getting better.
In the U.S., for example, we've seen a performance reversal among private-label and manufacturer-branded products over the past year. While manufacturers of all sizes saw flat or positive performance in the fourth quarter of 2016, store-branded products took the lead a year later, growing at 2%.
It's not uncommon for consumers to gravitate to less-expensive products when the economy is struggling, but recent Consumer Confidence Index reports show that all regions except Africa/Middle East finished 2017 stronger than they began the year. Consumer change that occurs during a recession often remains when trends shift, and sentiment about continued private-label growth remains favorable.
In addition to being an opportunity in countries recovering from economic decline or stagnation, private label is also a new opportunity in developing countries and faster-growing economies. Therefore, looking ahead, private-label brands have several avenues for future growth around the globe. Those avenues, however, vary from market to market.

Q: How do I resolve this build issue - cannot assign to property: 'date' is a get only property class Event {

    var name : String?
    var FullDate : NSDate?

    var date: String? {
        let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
        dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEEE MMM dd"
        return dateFormatter.stringFromDate(FullDate!)
    }

    init ()
}

class EventsViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate , UITableViewDataSource
{
    let Event1 = Event()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        Event1.date = "10.01.16" // here is the issue
        Event2.date = "12.11.16"  // "" "" "" ""
    }

I dont understand why I can use the FullDate variable from my custom class Event but not the date variable.
thanks for your help

A: Your date is actually a computed property that only has a getter
So it can only be read, not written too.
In contrast your FullDate is a stored property.
computed properties are often used to hide functionality from other classes or expose buried data in a convenient way.
Below there is some illustration in the SomeClass object.

*

*stored properties are just regular old properties

*computed properties are getters and maybe also setters. A good example is height and width of CGRect, these are actually from CGRect.size but are implemented as convenience getters

*property observers are functions executed when stored properties change value. didSet and willSet

*access control on get and set allows you to create stored properties that are read or write only depending on access.

class SomeClass {

    // just a variable
    var storedProperty : Int = 10

    // just a variable but the setter is hidden from other "files"
    private(set) var storedPropertyWithPartialAccessControl : Int = 0

    // only calculates when set
    var derivedProperty : Int = 0 {
        didSet {
            storedProperty = doStuffs(derivedProperty)
        }
    }

    // calculates every get and set
    var computedProperty : Int {
        get { // get is needed
            return doStuffs(storedProperty)
        }
        set(value) { // set is not needed, using only get gives you a read only property
            storedProperty = doReverseStuffs(value)
        }
    }

    // hidden functions that are used in the computed property
    private func doStuffs(value:Int) -> Int {
        return value * 10
    }

    private func doReverseStuffs(value:Int) -> Int {
        return value / 10
    }
}

Because NSDateFormatter is very inefficient, it is very bad to use it in a computed property. One will be created every get. A lot of time and energy will be wasted because the resulting value might be the same most of the time.
Best practice :

*

*Use computed properties to get stored properties and set to do calculations.

*Use a Singleton to store the NSDateFormatter

A much much better way to go:
class SomeEvent {

    // Store calculated results.
    // This is private to make the class cleaner in use.
    private var storedDate : NSDate?

    private var storedFormattedDate : String = ""

    // get returns stored values without calculations
    // set updates both stored values after calculations
    var date : NSDate? {
        get {
            return storedDate
        }
        set(value) {
            storedFormattedDate = format(date: value)
            storedDate = value
        }
    }

    var formattedDate : String {
        get {
            return storedFormattedDate
        }
        set(value) {
            storedDate = readDateFrom(dateString: value)
            storedFormattedDate = format(date: storedDate)
        }
    }

    // hidden functions, again to make the class cleaner in use.
    private func format(date maybeDate:NSDate?) -> String {

        guard let date = maybeDate else {
            return ""
        }
        guard let dateFormatter = MyDateFormatter.shared().dateFormatter else {
            return ""
        }
        return dateFormatter.stringFromDate(date)

    }

    private func readDateFrom(dateString string:String) -> NSDate? {

        // get detector
        if let detector = MyDateFormatter.shared().dateReader {
            // results
            let matches = detector.matchesInString(string, options: [], range: NSRange(location: 0, length: string.characters.count))
            // first result
            if let match = matches.first, let date = match.date {
                return date
            }
        }

        // just format if there is no detector
        if let dateFormatter = MyDateFormatter.shared().dateFormatter {
            if let date = dateFormatter.dateFromString(string) {
                return date
            }
        }

        // everything failed
        return nil
    }
}

Singleton to store the NSDateFormatter and NSDataDetector:
Google: Swift Singleton
class MyDateFormatter {

    private static var privateShared : MyDateFormatter?

    var dateFormatter : NSDateFormatter?
    var dateReader : NSDataDetector?

    class func shared() -> MyDateFormatter {
        guard let uwShared = privateShared else {
            privateShared = MyDateFormatter()
            return privateShared!
        }
        return uwShared
    }

    class func destroy() {
        privateShared = nil
    }

    private init() {
        dateReader = try? NSDataDetector(types: NSTextCheckingType.Date.rawValue)
        dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
        dateFormatter!.dateFormat = "EEEE MMM dd"
    }
}

Tests:
let event = SomeEvent()
event.formattedDate = "tomorrow"
event.formattedDate // "Friday Dec 04"
event.formattedDate = "25/02/2010"
event.formattedDate // "Thursday Feb 25"
event.formattedDate = "Sunday Mar 13"
event.formattedDate // "Sunday Mar 13"

A: I had similar issue but with different  scenario
class FilterRowData:FilterRowType {
    var title: String
    var checked: Bool = false
    var id:String

    init (title:String,checked:Bool,id:String) {
        self.title = title
        self.checked = checked
        self.id = id

    }
}

struct FilterableData {
    var orignalData:[FilterRowType] = []
    var searchedData:[FilterRowType] = []

    mutating func emptyAllData() {
        orignalData = []
        searchedData = []
    }

    mutating func createSearchDataFromOrignalData () {
        searchedData = orignalData
    }

}

var locations:FilterableData = FilterableData()

Now When I tried I got error
 self.locations.orignalData.first?.checked = true

error: cannot assign to property: 'checked' setter is inaccessible

As orignalData is not stored property then what could be a reason  ?
Solution is  first would be replace with [0]
Hope it is helpful to someone

Come Fly with Me: Trapeze Turns 150
Colette Bernhardt
Feature photo by Foxtongue. Photo above by kevin.j.
Fancy a spot of swinging? No, not that sort, I'm talking about something far more thrilling. If you've never swished through the air on a bar and two ropes before, now is the perfect occasion to do so; it's the 150th birthday of the flying trapeze.
Back in 1859, an inventive young Frenchman called Jules Leotard began larking about with poles, ropes and rings suspended above his parents' swimming pool. After several months of crashing and splashing, he'd perfected his new art, and on November 12th he performed the world's first flying trapeze act at the Cirque Napoleon in Paris.
His party trick − which involved leaping between three trapeze bars and somersaulting in mid-air − drew hoards of admirers worldwide. Female fans turned giddy at the sight of him, with several allegedly proposing marriage. At London's Alhambra Theatre he swung directly over a gasping party of banqueters, sporting a skin-tight, one-piece garment which he'd designed himself to allow free movement − and a big eyeful of muscle. The "leotard" was born.
A Young Man With His Mother's Blessing
Photo by Stephan Silver
Fast forward nearly 100 years, and "flying" had become a global phenomenon. Safety nets were introduced in the 1870s, and the sport was no longer regarded as a purely male pastime. Where previously it was all about strength, women performers brought a new emphasis on grace and posture − and a few more sequins to the leotards, which were now worn by both sexes.
In the early 1950s, a boy from Boston ran off − "with his mother's blessing" − to join the circus. Entranced by the unique aroma of "the popcorn, the peanuts, the elephants", and a certain "charming young lady trapeze artist" named La Norma, 15-year-old Tony Steele asked for a job at Gil Gray's circus in Gainesville, Texas, having taught himself on swings and mattresses at his local YMCA.
Of his debut performance, "the first thing I remember is 'oh, ahhhh, eeeee!'" Like Leotard, he had all the girls screaming. By 1962, the shrieks were louder than ever, with Tony's death-defying three-and-a-half somersault breaking world records (until then, only a triple had been seen), and catapulting him to the top of his profession.
Tony Steele Today: Still Doing It
Though a little greyer, he still performs and teaches today, and feels "a divine calling to pass on everything I know before it disappears". It's a joy to talk to this impish 73-year-old, who can still manage a double somersault, and believes no one's too old to start learning: "Trapeze will extend your life and make you feel happier. Many of my students are middle-aged women whose husbands tell them 'You're crazy.' By the end of the classes they are addicted, and telling their husbands 'Shove off and mind your own business.'"
Tony's top tip for anyone wanting to celebrate the 150th anniversary is the new Festif show, running till March 2010 at Paris's Cirque d'Hiver, formerly the Cirque Napoleon, where Leotard debuted his original flying feat. Anton Von Ostendorf, of world-famous headlining act the Bull Dancers, will transform into flying trapeze's founding father, complete with moustache and nineteenth century airs and graces.
Or you could go one better, and try trapeze yourself.
I took a course of lessons at the Pavilion Theatre in Brighton, my hometown. (And no, I didn't wear a leotard.)
Don't live in Brighton, there are plenty of other places you can go to learn the lovely art of trapeze: You can find schools in London, California, New York, Sydney Australia, France and Hamburg, Germany.
Club Med also hosts trapeze classes for adults and children at 21 sites across the world:
So When I Do This, What Will I Learn?
This was "static trapeze" − you need considerable experience before attempting the flying kind − but nevertheless, there was very little keeping still. After mastering basic moves the "pike" and "hock" for ascending and descending the bar, we progressed to the "bird's nest", the "star" and the "mermaid". Later came my favorite, the "spider", where from standing, you jump your feet around the ropes, lower yourself, let go your hands and drop, arachnid-like, to a dangling position below.
Trapeze will extend your life and make you feel happier. Many of my students are middle-aged women whose husbands tell them 'You're crazy.' By the end of the classes they are addicted, and telling their husbands 'Shove off and mind your own business.
It may be some time before I'm summoned to the Big Top − the only gasps I got were when my classmates saw me plummet head-downwards from a poorly secured "ankle hang" − and the bruises the ropes give an inexperienced newbie are far from glamorous. But the thrill of using every sinew of my body, watching the world from upside down, and being the performer, rather than merely the spectator, of an age-old circus act, had me eagerly hanging on for more.
I can't wait to try flying trapeze, with its daredevil moves − "death somersault" and "reverse suicide" here I come! But for now, I'm delighted to be on the trapeze at all. As Tony tells me, "It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on".
Have you tried your hand (or foot or leg) at the trapeze? Tell us where, when and how it was.
