Public Pension Plan Investments May Increase the Risk That Hedge Fund Managers May Breach Fiduciary Duties
Vincent Pitaro
Pension funds are significant sources of assets for private fund managers. Hedge fund managers seeking investments from pension funds face a number of practical and legal concerns – including the possible need to register as a municipal advisor, the complex ERISA regime, pay to play rules and dealing with pension consultants – that may not otherwise arise with respect to individuals or other types of institutional investors. In addition, as exemplified by a recent SEC order against an investment adviser and two of its principals, public pension plan investors may increase the range of responsibilities for hedge fund managers that, if not adequately discharged, can lead to breach of those managers' fiduciary duties, with potential serious consequences. In the order, the SEC claims that the respondents engaged in fraudulent conduct by soliciting several state public pensions to invest in one of their alternative investment fund of funds, even though the fund did not satisfy the criteria established under applicable state law for alternative investments by public pension funds. This article summarizes the relevant provisions of state law, the alleged misconduct by the respondents and the SEC's charges.

King Lear at the Lark: Up close and personal like you've never seen him
02-26-2015 | David Hirzel
You may think you know him, the tragedy of a doddering old man whose senses are beginning to leave him, and whose children use his failing powers to take what is his in the name of protecting him. It must have been as common an occurrence in Shakespeare's day as it sometimes seems to be today. To hear the arguments of King Lear's daughters Goneril (Maev Beaty) and Regan (Lisa Repo-Martell) it only makes sense to do so. Seen through the filter of his still sound mind in its lucid moments, it is betrayal that he calls out and confronts with all the passion his soul can muster. In Colm Feore's King Lear, that is a lot of passion, and his early face-to-face confrontations with his daughters it spills out with volcanic fury, and is met with the same.
There are other betrayals—son against father, brother against brother, wife against husband—and they are played out with equal, unbridled passion, to their ultimate Shakespearean tragic and ruthlessly bloody end. But this performance is Lear as you've never seen it. Stratford Festival has filmed the play live in their great theater in Ontario, Canada. Those in the audience are watching and responding to the performance, but they see it only from a distance.
This film brings us into the play in a way that watching it on stage can never do. The miracle of modern film brings the action, the faces, the tears of sorrow right to your own eyes. At its most beautiful moments—Cordelia reunited with her father, Lear comforting the blinded Gloucester—we the audience are moved to tears ourselves. At its most horrid—slash of the knife to the eyes, the brutal deaths by blade—we recoil in fear. Mercifully some of the deaths at the end of the play occur offstage. Lest anyone think the Bard was unusually bloodthirsty in his depictions of eye-gouging and murder, one has only to look to the recently discovered, violently mutilated remains of another medieval monarch, Richard III.
The performances are of the highest caliber, and we view them with the greatest clarity in detail, lighting, and sound. The one-night showing at the Lark is over now, but this is one version of King Lear you can see if it comes again to an art-house theater near you, or by renting a DVD to watch at home. It casts a whole new light on a play you may have thought you already knew. Directed by Antoni Cimolino.
Look for two more of Shakespeare's finest—King John and Anthony and Cleopatra—coming later this year to the Lark. Mark these dates on your calendar: April 8 and May 21, 2015. Don't miss them.
If you haven't already been to the Lark theater in Larkspur, give yourself plenty of time. It's not easy to find, but believe me, if this is your only chance to see Shakespeare this close and personal, it will be well worth the effort.
Lark Theater: 549 Magnolia Ave., Larkspur CA 415-924-5111

Q: Indexing a struct member Vec with a member HashMap in Rust I want to store some objects in a Vec and efficiently retrieve them by the value of a field. In practice I want to index it by multiple fields, otherwise I could just use a HashMap. Neither the Vec nor the object fields will be changed later on.
use std::collections::HashMap;

pub struct Data {
    attribute1: i64,
    attribute2: String,
}

pub struct IndexedVector<'a> {
    data: Vec<Data>,
    by_attribute1: HashMap<i64, &'a Data>,
}

impl<'a> IndexedVector<'a> {
    pub fn new() -> Self {
        let mut res = Self {
            data: vec![
                Data {
                    attribute1: 1,
                    attribute2: "foo".into(),
                },
            ],
            by_attribute1: HashMap::new(),
        };
        res.build_index();
        res
    }

    fn build_index(&mut self) {
        for d in &self.data {
            self.by_attribute1.insert(d.attribute1, &d);
        }
    }
}

fn main() {}

It should be possible to do something like this, because the data array lives as as long as the references in the hash map. However, when trying to iterate over the objects in the data array I get the following error
error[E0495]: cannot infer an appropriate lifetime for borrow expression due to conflicting requirements
  --> src/main.rs:29:18
   |
29 |         for d in &self.data {

   |
note: first, the lifetime cannot outlive the anonymous lifetime #1 defined on the method body at 28:5...

31 | |         }
32 | |     }

  --> src/main.rs:13:1
   |
13 | / impl<'a> IndexedVector<'a> {
14 | |     pub fn new() -> Self {
15 | |         let mut res = Self {
16 | |             data: vec![

32 | |     }
33 | | }
   | |_^

When it comes to selling Eastern Kentucky University to a prospective student, nothing beats a personal visit, especially with all the dramatic improvements in recent years.
But for all those times where an on-campus visit is not practical, or a student wants a sneak peek before deciding what colleges and universities to visit in person, the EKU Office of Admissions has teamed with Youvisit to offer an immersive virtual tour. Using 360-degree 3-D photography, cutting-edge interactive scenes and narration by four current Eastern students, the University is bringing the campus experience to any desktop, laptop or mobile device anywhere in the world.
The EKU virtual tour is available at youvisit.com/eku, from a link on the EKU home page (www.eku.edu) and through the EKU Virtual Tour app at Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store (search Eastern Kentucky VR). Those who download the app while on campus can go on a GPS-enabled, self-guided tour of campus.
"Our goal was to connect prospective students, families, alumni, and the broader community to EKU," said Maya Mapp, associate director of admissions. "Because this can be accessed anywhere in the world, we want the prospective students from farther distances to be able to experience 'The Campus Beautiful' as if they were here.
The tour, which was filmed during the summer of 2017, will be updated annually to capture additional campus changes. And there will be plenty in the near future, including a new dining hall in January 2018 and a new student recreation center and renovated student union by 2020.
Anyone interested in embedding the EKU virtual tour on a website should contact Mapp at maya.mapp@eku.edu or Wesley Gift at wesley.gift@eku.edu.

Michael Cohen says he's free from 'personal and mental incarceration' before getting 3-year sentence
December 12, 2018, 1:00 pm CST

President Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, told a Manhattan federal judge on Wednesday that he has been "living in a personal and mental incarceration" since the day he began working for Trump.
Cohen, 52, said his weakness was "a blind loyalty to Donald Trump," but he had moved forward. "Today is the day I am getting my freedom back," he said. The New York Times, the Washington Post, the National Law Journal and Politico have coverage.
Cohen spoke before U.S. District Judge William Pauley III sentenced him to three years in prison for bank and tax fraud, and campaign finance violations. Pauley also sentenced Cohen to two months in prison for lying to Congress about plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, but the sentence will be served at the same time as the other.
Cohen will be required to forfeit $500,000 and make restitution of nearly $1.4 million, according to the National Law Journal. He's also being fined $50,000 in each of the two cases, the NLJ says.
Manhattan prosecutors had filed the charges that led to the three-year sentence, while special counsel Robert Mueller's office filed the other case.
Pauley acknowledged that Cohen had assisted the special counsel's office but said his action did not "wipe the slate clean." Pauley said Cohen had committed a "smorgasbord" of crimes that were motivated by "personal greed and ambition."
"As a lawyer, Mr. Cohen should have known better," Pauley said.

The 10 Best Action Figures of All Time (5-1)
—by Nathan on November 2, 2014—
A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about five of the best action figures of all time. Five of my personal favorites in a list of ten amazing action figures. So now I'm here to finish off that list with my Top 5 favorite action figures. As I said, these are all figures that I've played with a lot, or just enjoy having, or maybe have been around for a while. I still like playing with them, honestly. I haven't used action figures a whole lot recently, but I like picking them up from time to time. But if I used any of them the most, they would probably be on this list. Here goes.
Number 5: Mr. Incredible (McDonald's variant)
Why: Oddly enough, I have a McDonald's toy on here. Oddly enough, it's a good toy. Perhaps not your most standard action figure; perhaps not one that's the most flexible or articulated, but it's pretty much the best darn toy that McDonald's ever produced. The thing's a solid hunk of plastic. It's not gonna break or bend or shatter on the ground. I loved The Incredibles at the time this merchandise came out (still do), so the toy was pretty fun to have. Sadly, while the other toys they released can't compete, this one is beyond decent. Also around the same time, I had a bunch of what I considered "smaller" action figures (ones not as big as Marvel toys), figures including Batman, Teen Titan, Superman, and TNMT toys. So I thought "Hey, why not bring some of these guys together? Create my own superhero team?" So I did, and Anna and I spent a lot of time combining that team with some of her toys. This was at the height of our Saturday morning play time. So this action figure is great, and it drums up a lot of great memories.
Number 4: The Green Goblin (Humberto Ramos' version)
Why: The Green Goblin has always been Spider-Man's arch-enemy. The first villain to deduce his identity, the guy who killed Gwen Stacy, the man who continued to terrorize Peter Parker for years...he's Spidey's ultimate foe. So to have him in action figure format to go toe-to-toe up against my own Spider-Man action figure felt pretty awesome. While he's not an exact replica of the comics' version, this Green Goblin has got the basic green-and-purple get-up down, with a sinister smirk that shows just how crazy Norman Osborn's evil counterpart truly is. Plus, he comes with his Goblin glider, one of the coolest vehicles/weapons comics has to offer, which also has a fun missile to fire at the pesky do-gooder Web-Slinger. Like other figures, he looks cool and handles well. Finally, he has dozens of comic moments for me to replicate in action figure format. To bring the insanity and villainy of the Green Goblin to my bedroom is fun to last me hours. A perfect addition to any litany of bad guys.
Number 3: The Sandman
Why: For a long time (and it may still be the case), the Sandman was my favorite Spider-Man villain. Out of all the villains in the Wall-Crawler's Rogues Gallery, he's the most creative. Other villains can fly, flex their muscles, throw fire, but how many can turn into sand? He struck me as original and interesting, a really awesome bad guy. So I got the guy, I bought him. I remember it was a tough decision; I wanted both Venom and Sandman action figures, and something happened where I picked Venom as a gift because he was more expensive (passing a level in swimming, I think...yeah, I was spoiled), so I had to save up for Sandman. He's a great toy. Comes with some detachable hands that can be replaced with various sand weapons. Using that feature was fun...until one of the stubs I attached the hands to broke off (there is nothing more devastating to a child than having a toy break; it still scars me). Paranoid as I was and still am, I learned my lesson and stayed away from the hands. Despite that, he's an awesome action figure. One of Spidey's greatest foes, a member of the original Sinister Six! Like the Vulture in the last blog, the Sandman made me one step closer to collecting that classic lineup. He's fun to use, easy to move around. a great figure all around.
Number 2: Batman (from The Batman animated series)
Why: The Batman animated series is probably my favorite TV show ever. Awesome cartoon, with a ton of classic Batman foes. But the show would be nothing without its title character, and where would I be without a figure of the guy? This show produced one of the best lines of action figures ever, so I needed Batman. And in Florida, my grandparents gave me one. The thing about certain heroes--like Batman and Spider-Man--is that they're one guy facing a whole bunch of bad guys. So no matter what villain(s) I used, I always came back to this one Batman. His grapple hook lets him sail over Gotham City, to battle a hoast of baddies. I didn't use the disk launcher much, but the rest of the figure is great. Batman's my favorite DC hero, mostly because of this cartoon series, and having Batman as an action figure from that series and to start building up my DC action figure collection was really cool.
Number 1: Spider-Man (from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man)
Why: My favorite action figure of all time is Spider-Man. Surprise! This may take a little space, but let me outline the multitude of reasons why this is my absolute favorite figure. One, it was the first superhero action figure I ever got (might've been my first action figure ever...I actually got him as a birthday present the same day I got a Legolas action figure, so it's a tie there). Two, he's amazingly articulated (the box actually calls him "Super-Poseable Spider-Man"), which has allowed me to twist and bend his arms and legs in a variety of moves that gives the full feel of playing as Spider-Man. He can look like he's crawling up walls, swinging through the city, knocking bad guys around. He moves fluidly and easily. Three, he started up an incredible collection of Spider-Man-related action figures (mostly consisting of supervillains, of which I've remarked upon three in these blogs). Heck, as a fourth, it started up a collection of Marvel action figures in general, which has allowed me to create a universe rivaled only by my LEGO minifgure collection. This toy was the first, the foundation, for many fun years of playing to come.
Those are my top 5. The best action figures ever. I'm a huge geek when it comes to toys. I have two sisters who have been very willing to play with me over the years, and a dad who played with me first. I still use action figures and LEGOs and what have you. I'll probably end up keeping a bunch of this stuff to pass down to my own children, cause I think it would be awesome if they could have as much fun with them as I've had with these toys.

April 13, 2003 - Lexington, Kentucky
The meeting was called to order by President Jerry Putnam at 9:40 am. The minutes of the June 25, 2002, SAAHP General Membership meeting were distributed by Secretary Susan Morrison and approved without change.
Putnam introduced the new Executive Director of the NAAHP Susan Maxwell as well as the NAAHP President Hugo Lane. Susan Maxwell welcomed everyone and noted that, thanks to the leadership of NAAHP and the four regions, she had had a good experience in assuming her position. She noted that she would like to work to coordinate the four regional meetings to make it easier for her or other NAAHP leadership to attend all of them. She announced that the 16th NAAHP meeting will be held in Washington, D.C., June 28 to July 2, 2004.
Rooms at the Omni Shoreham Hotel (a 1920's hotel recently renovated at a cost of $18,000,000, with a pool and fitness center) will be $129/night (available 3 days before and after the meeting). Potential sponsors for food and beverage will be contacted; the American University of the Caribbean has committed to sponsoring the SAAHP breakfast. She also reported on some of her activities in the NAAHP office since beginning in January 2002. Media specialist Kristin Cota was hired to upgrade the web site and work with Director of Communications Carol Baffi-Dugan. Joyce Marsh retired and Christine Klindworth resigned, and have been replaced by the new office manager Jerolyn Attwood and secretary Pamela Tenhouse. Voice-mail was instituted. One goal is to plan the national meetings much farther in advance. Thus far, there are confirmed plans to hold the 2006 NAAHP meeting in Portland, Oregon, at the Hilton Portland and Executive Tower, and Chicago is being investigated for the 2008 meeting. She then mentioned that the national office provides various services and publications, and emphasized their desire to serve the membership. Finally, she thanked everyone for their contributions and presented a plaque to Anne Ewing for her role in planning the 2003 SAAHP meeting.
NAAHP President Hugo Lane brought greetings from the National Board of Directors. He mentioned three important activities of NAAHP:
providing services to individual advisors;
working on professional development---the Professional Development Committee is asking the regions to collaborate on ways to generate professional development documents (e.g. setting up advising programs) and to provide information on the web;
advocating for the advisor (and therefore students) interests with the thirteen different health professions organizations and their schools
He also raised concerns about third party management of the letters of reference.
Nominating Committee Report: David Pennington presented the slate of candidates for the election and introduced those in attendance:
For president-elect:
Tom Oeltmann (Vanderbilt)
For Board member at large (two to be elected):
Barbara Bell (Spelman)
Karen DeOlivares (Southern Methodist University)
Jeanette Rundquist (Birmingham Southern College)
Members of the Nominating Committee were David Pennington, Jerry Seebach, and Frank Pinkerton. Attendees were reminded that each institution has only one vote and that patron members do not vote. Ballots were distributed, voting took place, and ballots were counted while the meeting progressed. The results were announced when complete and were as follows:
President-elect: Tom Oeltmann (Vanderbilt)
Board members at large:
Treasurers Report: Robert Gaunder distributed a copy of the financial report. We began the year with $30,306, received income of $2361 from dues and CD-interest, and expended $4848 leaving a balance of $27,819. The report was approved by a voice vote.
President's Report: Jerry Putnam displayed the booklet that he had assembled which included records of the San Antonio 2001 meeting program, guidelines for planning a meeting, an update on the leadership conference, meeting programs, and additional materials. He noted that he was proudest of the leadership conference and that we had succeeded in reaching most of the goals set by the group. Among these goals were the guidelines for planning a meeting, professional development activities, updating of the membership brochure by Charles Chapman and Jeannie Thomley, and establishment of a mentor program. The web site will be managed by Kristen Cota of the NAAHP staff, and SAAHP will purchase its own URL. The President's report was approved unanimously by a voice vote.
Jerry Putnam then read the following statement regarding the role of non-allopathic and off-shore/foreign medical schools at our joint meetings with AAMC:
"We have a special relationship with the AAMC every four years. This meeting is a wonderful time to meet deans on a much more personal basis than is normally possible. Nothing should be done to damage this relationship."
"However, we do want to remain sensitive to our non-allopathic/offshore colleagues who help us significantly during the long program."
"Thus, the Executive Council urges future plans for programs (short programs) to effectively include them in our meeting. They can participate in Meet the Deans, special dinners held at times when AAMC/SAAHP are not collectively meeting, and setting up tables for display."
He noted that he will take this recommendation from the Executive Council to the AAMC.
Discussion of the joint SAAHP/GSA meetings followed. Anne Ewing noted that SGSA had cooperated well with us, being especially cost conscious when they meet with us, and that limitations on other groups are due to time and space. Jean DeSaix and Tony Hilger contributed that the updates are critical for advisors and that this is especially valuable in advising the non-accepted applicant. Hugo Lane stated that there must be mutual respect between the two associations, that recent experiences have been very positive, that there is real value in having a joint meeting rather than parallel meetings, and that there must be a balance.
Hugo Lane then presented a resolution from the NAAHP Executive Committee and asked that we consider endorsing it in spirit rather than in precise wording. Susan Morrison read the resolution twice.
Resolution: "Whereas the confidential and private nature of the content of letters of recommendation must be restricted;
Whereas the mutual trust and the special relationship advisors develop with admissions personnel is of the utmost importance in communicating accurately private and confidential information about candidates;
Be is resolved that SAAHP recognizes that the best interest of advisors, candidates to health professions schools, and the admissions offices and officers of said schools, requires direct communication between advisors and admissions officers be preserved."
Hugo Lane presented the history for the resolution. Some associations are moving to centralized application services and, in the past, some have demanded that advisors send reference letters to them for distribution. There is a sense that confidentiality requires a direct relationship between the advisor and the admissions officer and that the advisor must maintain control of the letters. An application service or association should not intervene in the direct communication. The admissions deans and medical school admissions officers concur with advisors, while the AAMC is seeking centralization. In addition to AAMC, there are twelve associations with whom we have a close relationship. Each region is voting whether or not to endorse the spirit of the resolution; a committee composed of the NAAHP President and the four regional presidents will assemble the final document. In the discussion that followed, Tony Hilger agreed with the reasons given, and added that an advisor may send different letters to different medical schools. Phillip Green (of the American University of the Caribbean) talked about the ERAS and Residency Match formats which are uniform and result in less effective letters that are too similar; he felt the letters from advisors would inevitably carry less weight. Putnam mentioned that the Texas system simply duplicates and sends on the letters, but was concerned AAMC would implement a uniform form. David Pennington commented that they have had minimal difficulty with the Texas system, but that it is very small scale compared to a national effort. Hugo Lane stated that the resolution will deal with the issue of centralization and will be prepared by a national committee of regional representatives and forwarded to deans of all schools of the thirteen health professions with which we have contact. Ken Revis-Wagner inquired about the issue of direct submission of letters via an electronic system; Jerry Putnam replied that it would be appropriate, but only if we knew where the server was located and who controlled it; Hugo Lane added that we must have confidence in who has access to the electronic letters. Anne Ewing brought up the issue of the timing for information reaching the medical schools. Jerry Putnam called for a vote on the spirit of the resolution. It was made by Jean DeSaix, seconded by Robert Cannon, and approved by a voice vote.
Susan Morrison read four motions from the Executive Council:
Be it resolved that the Executive Council of SAAHP express appreciation to Kathleen Nelson and Mason Thompson of the SGSA, Carol Elam of the University of Kentucky and Anne Ewing of SAAHP for the program, hotel, and general meeting arrangements in Lexington, KY.
Be it resolved that the Executive Council of SAAHP express appreciation to Lisa Alty and Keith Garbutt as they rotate off the Executive Council.
Be it resolved that the Executive Council of SAAHP express appreciation to Deborah Paris as she ends her term as SAAHP representative to the NAAHP.
Whereas Jerry Putnam has provided outstanding leadership to the SAAHP and whereas he has established a high standard for future Presidents through such activities as the first Leadership Conference, the first composite biennial report and the first published meeting planning guide, and whereas Jerry Putnam has become a leader in NAAHP. Be it resolved that the Executive Council of SAAHP express appreciation to Jerry Putnam as he ends his term of service as President of SAAHP.
Anne Ewing, the incoming President, was then introduced. She said that the 2005 meeting will probably be in Nashville, and will be SAAHP by itself. She asked that everyone complete their forms evaluating the current meeting, and that they feel free to communicate directly with her about ideas for the next meeting. She then listed her priorities: (a) making the web page more effective; (b) pursuing the issue of insuring accurate mailing lists with the national office; (c) planning the 2005 meeting, and (d) continuing the mentor program. She thanked those individuals who helped with the Lexington meeting.
Lisa Alty requested that members agree to help with the 2004 NAAHP meeting if asked. Rob Cannon encouraged members to write articles, book reviews or other contributions for The Advisor (a quarterly publication) or NAAHPnet (monthly electronic publication). Pennington asked individuals to provide the new chair of the nominating committee Jerry Putnam with names of potential nominees for leadership positions. Jerry Putnam seconded Alty's plea for members to help with the NAAHP 2004 meeting and the plea for individuals to serve as leaders, noting that his experience has been invaluable to his knowledge of both members and deans.

Clive Owen stars in Julie Taymor's gorgeous if oddly unmoving revival of David Henry Hwang's 1988 drama.
Clive Owen returns to Broadway in David Henry Hwang's "M. Butterfly," a revised version of the 1988 drama about a French diplomat who was caught in a scandalous affair with a Chinese opera star, went to prison for treason, and became a public laughingstock for falling in love with a latter-day Madam Butterfly who humiliated and betrayed him.
If the stagecraft makes you swoon, then this must be a Julie Taymor production, with prodigious contributions from Paul Steinberg (sets), Constance Hoffman (costumes), Will Pickens (sound), and especially from Donald Holder (lighting).
In 1960s China, Beijing is culturally and politically trapped between ancient and modern times. Giant sliding screens depict scenes and slogans commemorating Mao Zedong's rule over the Communist People's Republic of China. Politically removed from Mao's Great Leap Forward, extravagantly masked and costumed actors perform scenes from classical Chinese opera. Stylistically, it's all a dazzling confusion.
Rene Gallimard, the surprisingly unworldly French diplomat played by Owen, attends a garden party and is smitten by an opera singer who entertains the guests by singing an aria from "Madam Butterfly." "I wanted to take her in my arms" he says, "so delicate, even I could protect her, take her home, pamper her, ease her pain." She is his ideal woman, even when he discovers that she doesn't really exist.
John Lithgow, who played Gallimard in the original Broadway production, seemed both sexually repressed and socially awkward enough to fall for Song Liling (played in that production by BD Wong) without realizing that this delicate creature was a man. "How could he not have known, for 20 years?" one scandalized gossiper wants to know. Here, Owen seems more deeply haunted by Gallimard's forbidden love for Song Liling (a lithe Jin Ha in this production); but his earnest attempt to play the character's sexual uncertainty is ultimately unconvincing.
Taymor has shielded Hwang's poetry from being overwhelmed by the sheer theatricality of the story, which was based on a real-life case. In one of the playwright's many ravishing lines, Gallimard embraces his fate because "I have known — and been loved by — the perfect woman." By fortifying the scenes that frame the love story, Taymor has also strengthened the political undercurrents of the play.
For all its romanticism, the love affair also served as a smokescreen for a heartless act of Cold War political betrayal that destroyed Gallimard's career and jailed him for treason. But even as he languishes in prison, where tout le monde mocks him as "a national embarrassment … a laughing-stock … a fool," he still considers himself a happy man for having loved someone with all his foolish, broken heart.

President Higgins and a second term
Sir, – Further to "Michael D 2.0: Can Higgins reinvent himself for another term?" (Analysis, October 7th), why does Pat Leahy think that 84 is too old to hold political office, to carry out official engagements or to represent our State? Who specifies what is too old today? In England, Queen Elizabeth (91) carries out over 300 engagements a year. My own grandmother (87) similarly shows no signs of slowing down – she has a job, the running of her household and her own busy calendar of social engagements. With seniority comes experience, wisdom and sometimes a better work ethic. Perhaps people should stop trying to use President Michael D Higgins's age as an excuse for their not wanting him to seek a second term. – Is mise,
CATHAL DOWD SMITH,
Co Dublin.
Sir, – Pat Leahy reminds us that "during the election campaign in 2011 and following his victory, Higgins made it clear that his intention was to serve only one term". Now, apparently, he is thinking of a second term. Is that possible in an ethical republic where, it is claimed, words and ideas matter? – Yours, etc,

Bella Vita – This documentary explores Chris De Moro's sweet lifestyle. As a passionate environmental activist, talented artist, surfer and vegetarian, this dude pours his heart and soul into everything he does. The documentary follows him as he travels to Italia, where his family is rooted, and rediscovers the finer things: quality over quantity, slowing down the pace, surf, good coffee, croissants, craftsmanship, loving people, etc. The videography is stunning. Personally, this documentary made me rethink my life choices and want to realign my values and sense of purpose with what I am focusing my energies on. You really get the sense that Chris' life is meaningful and this makes you want to follow in his footsteps (or waves 😉 ). Caution: will make you want to pack up and leave for adventure tomorrow and/or learn to be a pro surfer, or at least just enjoy your life!
Antarctic Edge – 70 degrees South. This documentary follows 22 scientists who are all at the top of their respective fields as they study several regions of the Antarctic and how at each of these regions, climate change is affecting the ice (and therefore sea levels), phytoplankton, kryll and penguins. A great documentary for helping us understand how, within an ecosystem, all is inter-related. Phytoplankton (microalgae) is the basis of the marine food chain and even at the heart of our earth's food chain. Should the phytoplankton population drop dramatically (which is currently happening), this will, in turn, cause kryll population to drop (as kryll feeds on phytoplankton), which will bring about a decline in bottom feeders and ultimately, whales. Basically put, if the basis of the food chain disappears, so does everything else. I like this documentary because it covers an area so geographically remote, it tends to be "out of sight, out of mind". But this area of our beautiful mother Earth is sending us clues and it is key that people wake up! Infomation is conveyed in an easy to understand manner and the scientists on the boat, who are co-habiting the boat for 6 weeks, make for a very humorous story 🙂 .
This Was Tomorrow – 2015 was the first year Tomorrowland had 3 festivals in 3 separate countries. I haven't yet been lucky enough to attend one of these dance music events, but this movie half made me feel like I was there and half made me feel like it is a once in a lifetime experience and that no movie could ever do it justice – you have to live it. This amazing and feel-good movie on top tier electronic music talent and on how music brings people together literally transported me and made me cry way too much. Tomorrowland, as the documentary conveys, is a place where everyone is accepted and loved. Regardless of your country of origin, your sexual orientation, religion, etc., to the people of tomorrowland, "It's all good". This festival is literally connecting the younger open-minded generations. As you will see in the documentary, Ban Ki-Moon has even declared that Tomorrowland exemplifies the UN's core values, and this movie gives you hope for our world and faith in humanity (seriously!!).


Hey, uh... I don't know when (or if) you're gonna return to FB, but in the event that you do, what color background would you like for the Alolan Vulpix you hatched, and which of your characters gets it? I honestly should have asked this months ago, and I'm sorry about that.
Also, I see that in recent months you sometimes come online, but never post anything anymore, and I just... I'm just hoping things are going alright for you.
What background color would you like for Honedge, and which of your characters has it?
Also, as I've made the decision to trade away my Darumaka and completely redo my Voltorb's character, would you be OK if we kinda retconned that part out of the storyline in my Secret Base? I could make a new response to an earlier set of posts from you and kawaii, and in the process I could also respond to Raves's post, introduce his character into the storyline as well. What do you think?
It's fine. Like I said, there's no rush.
Hey, any idea when you might make your next post in my Secret Base? No rush, just thought I'd ask.
...I can't believe it took me over a month to realize you caught a Pansage. Congrats! What background color would you like for him?
Just a reminder that you have a Minnao update also waiting!
Hey, letting you know I popped Hermes and Gracie into the Hatchery. Just post linking your incense and confirming that the offspring'll be yours and we're all set!

Black And Sunset Burnt Orange: 1972 Datsun 240Z
Mitchell Gildea
Though I am a dyed-in-the-wool American classic car guy (specifically muscle cars), for the past few years I have also developed a soft spot for imports, especially from Japan from the 1960s up to the early to mid-1990s (typically stock or lightly modified). My friend from college, Brett, is a huge fan of Japanese cars, especially from the JDM market. So when he requested I write an article on "an EG civic hatch, Nissan S13 or 240X or one of the old Datsun Zs", I happily obliged. One of my favorite Japanese cars is the Datsun 240Z; Roadkill built up a 1971 240Z (nicknamed the Rotsun for its substantial rust) initially with a 4.3L GM V6 and 5-speed from an S10, and more recently they swapped in a 302 and T-5 from a Fox-body Mustang GT convertible, turbocharging both motors with a Powerstroke turbo from a diesel Ford pickup truck. Additionally, I've always dug the BRE-liveried 240Zs and the ultra-rare and valuable Fairlady Z 432. This particular car is a 1972 model, and features an unusual but very cool two-tone paint scheme. Find it here on eBay in Nampa, Idaho, with an asking price of $11,000 OBO.
Introduced initially in October 1969 as a 1970 model, the 240Z was brought onto the market to compete not only against Toyota's 2000GT, but also against sports car companies from England such as Jaguar, Triumph, and the two-years removed Austin-Healey 3000. Designed by Albrecht Goertz (who also designed the BMW 507) and a team led by Yoshihiko Matsuo, the head of Nissan's Sports Car Styling Studio at the time, the 240Z took many of its styling cues from the Jaguar E-Type, yet utilized more muscular lines than the E-Type and cost the same price, in the United States, as a Triumph GT6. Powered by a 2.4L L24 straight-six, the 240Z could easily reach 125 miles per hour and featured a gruff growl from its L24 that was "pure machismo" according to "The Ultimate Illustrated Encyclopedia to Classic Cars". Factor in a wonderful manual transmission (four speed for US Zs, five speed for non-US Zs) and superb handling thanks to its all-independent suspension, the 240Z drove and handled like a dream, drawing comparisons to the Austin-Healey and even, to an extent, the Jaguar E-Type, all while costing a third of the E-Type's price. This 1972 model is a Series II car and lacks the hatch vents that the on Series 1 cars had. Originally painted 918 orange, the car is currently painted a two-tone black and burnt-sunset orange, which I've never seen on a 240Z, but looks insanely cool. The seller does state that "the paint on the car has some blemishes", which should be touched up. He also mentions that "there is a small amount of rust present in the front driver side wheel well", so that should be addressed as well. The seller also describes "all original glass, including the windshield", as well as a hood swapped from a 280Z . The car does feature 14 inch black slotted mag wheels with brand-new Goodyear tires, but I would swap in a set of 15 or 16-inch Watanabe wheels in black or perhaps, if a set can be located, a set of Z432 magnesium wheels to complement the two-tone paint scheme. I would also remove the driver-side mirror and source a set of JDM-style fender-mounted mirrors, source some clear headlight covers, and remove the rear bumper guards for a clean, uninterrupted look.
The car does include its original engine, but it's currently not installed due to low compression in two cylinders. Instead it has another L24 with a "new radiator, heater core, oil pump fuel pump, and filters/fluids", but the owner does mention that the engine "does burn a small amount of oil and has a small leak from the rear main seal", which should be addressed. Otherwise, the owner stresses that the car "starts, stops, and drives as it should". I would swap out the aluminum radiator, rebuild the original engine, and address the issues with the current engine, while maybe making a few modifications to the L24 currently installed in the process. A little detailing to the engine and engine bay would not hurt either.
Arguably the nicest part of the car, the interior has recently been redone, with new carpet, new seat upholstery, a new half-dash cap, and a new aftermarket radio. The seller also swapped in door cards in the door panels from a 260Z, but since the door cards have different placement for the door lock tabs (compared to the stock 240Z ones), the door locks do not currently work. On the plus side, the original headliner is still in the car and is in "excellent condition", according to the seller. I would swap the aftermarket radio for either a factory one or an era-correct aftermarket radio and source the correct 240Z door cards. This would be a perfect car to fix up weeknights and on the weekends, and once everything is sorted out mechanically and cosmetically this would be perfect to take to a local cars and coffee show. So I pose this question to you, viewers: what would you do with it?

In 1976, I purchased a low mileage 1972 Datsun 240Z from a local Datsun dealer. I loved the acceleration and the way it cornered. After just a few months, it developed a slight shimmy. The floorboards on both sides rotted out along with both frame rails. What a piece of junk.

Sorry to hear that Stu they were great cars except for the rust. My 72 purchased in 76 had body filler over duct tape with nice new red paint on top. That started falling off a few months later. I stripped it down, rebult the door Jamb's and had Maco do the rear fenders. I primed the car and sent it back to Maco for a $150.00 paint job. After 3 years of a long distance daily driver, someone offered me more money than I thought the 135.000 mile car was worth. I wanted a black with gold trim paint, but the car had too many flaws.
Paint it. That's gross.

Very nice writeup Mitchell, with lots of detail. I have owned some early 240Zs and am restoring an early 1st year car now. A few comments…
– Goertz was often credited with designing the Z car but he has said that although he didn't design the Z car, he showed the Datsun designers how to do it.
– This is a striking car. Excellent early (Series 1, especially early first year cars) 240Zs are entering the collectible category. To bring big money ($35K to $60K) they need to be either completely original and near-perfect, or perfectly restored to the original build, including the original paint color.
– This car is a later car and has been given a custom paint job. I think the seller will be lucky to sell it at the $11K asking. It's more of a $5 to 8K car, depending on whether someone who likes the exact paint treatment on the car comes along.
– It has a dash cap, has over 100K miles, and burns a little oil, which will also hold the price back.
– As Stu said, these cars can rust, and this one is in Idaho. That will trigger rust alerts in serious buyers, who will want to see whether there is much rust. The floors have patches, which is OK, but will still hold the value back. Also, as Stu said, the frame rails will need to be closely inspected since they can rust also.
– All that said, if it checks out it would still be a good way to spend modest money on a vintage car. And Z cars are on a rising value trajectory, so the buyer will probably not lose money when it sells down the road.
Burzel
^^Agree
The question is not "is it rusty?" but "how MUCH rust is there?" This guy is asking all the money right now and more for a car with so many needs… mechanical, body, interior (why not get the right door cards in the first place?) $5-8K would be pushing it I think.
Jeff Staff
Outstanding write up! I really like these Z cars. They were miles ahead of what the British were turning out in that price range. Datsun really did their homework on these.
Gone already. Damn.
The wheels that are on it would look nice painted in the same burnt orange as the body.
Car Guy
Why would you paint a period set of aluminum slot dish mags black? Just have them mirror polished if they are oxidized……..

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6FNDvLPWxoM check this video if you want a laugh check out the numbers the 302 with the Powerstroke Diesel Turbo actually puts down! 620lb/ft of Torque & a plus of roughly 270hp over the stock non-turbo run! Crazy numbers for not a big initial outlay! Well worth considering if you want cheap power that can be reliable if you don't turn the boost up too high!

Angles. Angle values (like "20 degrees") could be "inclusive" or could be "per side". Authors often don't mention which one they meant. Inclusive angle is double of angle per side. All angles on our website are DPS (Degrees Per Side).
Sharpening steel. It is not actually sharpening steel, it is a honing rod. It doesn't sharpen bevel, it only can touch up the micro bevel.
Be aware that sharpening steel cannot make dull knife sharp. Never. Sharpening steel has different purpose - you can take already sharp knife and make it super sharp. Sharpening steel is great to maintain super sharpness.
Main bevel. Primary bevel. Secondary bevel. Different websites may mix these terms. Watch pictures on websites to be sure what do they mean. We use words "Bevel" and "Micro bevel" to avoid any confusion.
Mirror edge. Edge that is polished to mirror quality looks awesome and cuts awesome. But it is only good for razors and knife collectors. Practical edge should be little toothy to bite, should be durable and should be easy to maintain. See Extreme Sharpness vs. Practical Sharpness.

It opened in 1896, and was extended and renovated several times before relocating in 1954 to a new site on the same road. The school was closed down in 1976, but in 1980 became the temporary location of the Avon Valley Church's school. A monument commemorating British colonisation was erected in 1929, and remains in use as a stopping point on the Kep Track.

History
Clackline School first opened in 1896. On 17 January 1896, Hannah McCarthy was provisionally appointed as the school's mistress. In May 1899, A. P. Lyhane was announced as master of the school. In November 1899, the government allocated Clackline School £275 of expenditure, and on 30 November 1899 the Department of Public Works advertised for tenders for a "Clackline School and Quarters" contract. The department accepted Stewart and Co.'s tender of £302 19s 3d. In 1908, tenders for additions to the quarters were invited, and the lowest tenderer was D. McDonald. By 1912 the school and quarters required renovations.  J. Meredith of Toodyay submitted the lowest tender of £52 17s 6d, which was accepted.

In 1915 the school's teachers and children, with the local progress association, organised a charity social event. Gifts sold to benefit the Western Australia Day Fund for the sick and wounded, with £22 1s 8d raised. The event was described as a "most successful affair", attracting participants from nearby and far away who patriotically fired off silver bullets.

Approximately 35 students attended Clackline School in 1920, which had gardens and wheat plots for the children to enjoy.

In April 1921 the Public Works Department accepted a tender of £182 15s 6d from A. Woolhouse for further additions to the school. In May of the following year, Edmondson Bros.'s tender of £68 for school quarters and verandahs was accepted. Tenders for renovations of Clackline school were called for in September 1927.

On 6 July 1932, the Northam branch of Toc H visited Clackline School. Despite unfavourable weather, they successfully held sports competitions throughout the day, with prizes awarded, followed by entertainment in the evening, attended by children and adults in the public hall.

On 12 December 1942, the Clackline School children participated in the dedication and consecration of the Avro Anson Memorial, which commemorates four Royal Australian Air Force airmen killed nearby earlier that year. The children laid wreaths, along with relatives and members of the armed forces.

In May 1950, the Minister for Education, Mr Watts, revealed to the Clackline Progress Association that a new school, with a septic tank, was planned for Clackline, with the work to begin as soon as possible. The new school, located a short distance away but still on Great Eastern Highway, opened , the same year the old school closed. The name was also changed to Clackline Primary School. After 22 years, this newer school was shut down in 1976.

In 1980, the Avon Valley Church leased the Clackline school site, while awaiting funds to construct a school on land purchased in Northam. The school was the only one in the area north of Perth.

Monument

In 1929, the school's students and headteacher, E.W.Membery commemorated the 100th anniversary of British colonisation by building a monument. The monument features a sculpture of a lion, with a plaque reading:

The sculptor of the lion was Archie H Paton, who has since been recognised with a nearby plaque. It is a stopping point on the Kep Track, adjacent to a picnic area and toilets.

Q: Create async method for queued timer based HTTP call I have a class, which holds a queue of requests, which will be collected and send to an Web API via HTTP call after a time interval of max 1 second:
    public class AsyncValueTimerIntervalWriter
    {
        private class ValueRequest
        {
            public string FullName { get; set; }
            public object Value { get; set; }
        }

        private readonly IValuesClient _valuesClient; // auto generated Swagger HTTP client

        private List<ValueRequest> _valueRequests = new List<ValueRequest>();
        private object _valuesLock = new object();

        private Timer _timer;

        public AsyncValueTimerIntervalWriter(IValuesClient valuesClient)
        {
            _valuesClient = valuesClient;
        }

        public void Start()
        {
            _timer = new Timer(o => WriteValuesToServer(), null, 0, 1000);
        }

        public void Stop()
        {
            _timer?.Dispose();
            _timer = null;
        }

        public void AddWrite(string fullName, object value)
        {
            lock (_valuesLock)
            {
                _valueRequests.Add(new ValueRequest { FullName = fullName, Value = value });
            }
        }

        private async void WriteValuesToServer()
        {
            IList<ValueRequest> values;

            lock (_valuesLock)
            {
                values = _valueRequests.ToArray();
                _valueRequests.Clear();
            }

            if (values.Any())
            {
                await _valuesClient.SetValuesAsync(values); // Sends HTTP POST request
            }
        }
    }

Caller example:
var asyncWriter = new AsyncValueTimerIntervalWriter(...);
asyncWriter.AddWrite("My.Var.Tree.VarName", 1234);
asyncWriter.AddWrite("My.Var.Tree.AnotherVar", "Test");

// after max 1 sec the values are written to server

My goal is to write an async method, which also adds a value to write, and returns when the value is written:
await asyncWriter.WriteAsync("My.Var.Tree.VarName", 1234);
// should continue after written to server

Important: I need to handle requests in a queue, because the writer may be stopped at any time and it is not allowed to loose requests. After start the writer again, the added requests needs to be send to server.
I tried to use the ManualResetEvent, but it feels strange:
...
public Task WriteAsync(string fullName, object value)
{
    var resetEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);

    lock (_valuesLock)
    {
        _valueRequests.Add(
            new ValueRequest
            {
                FullName = fullName,
                Value = value,
                CompletedEvent = resetEvent
            });
    }

    resetEvent.WaitOne();

    return Task.CompletedTask;
}

private async void WriteValuesToServer()
{
    IList<ValueRequest> values;

    lock (_valuesLock)
    {
        values = _valueRequests.ToArray();
        _valueRequests.Clear();
    }

    if (values.Any())
    {
        await _valuesClient.SetValuesAsync(values); // Sends HTTP POST request

        foreach (var value as values)
            value.CompletedEvent?.Set();
    }
}
...

Any suggestions?

A: You can use a TaskCompletionSource within the ValueEntry class to pass a signal from the writer to the caller.
private class ValueEntry
{
    public string FullName { get; set; }
    public object Value { get; set; }

    protected readonly TaskCompletionSource _tcs = new TaskCompleteionSource();

    public Task AwaitCompletion()
    {
        return _tcs.Task;
    }

    public Task MarkComplete()
    {
        return _tcs.SetResult();
    }
}

Small change to WriteValuesToServer:
public async Task WriteValuesToServer()
{
    // snip
    if (values.Any())
    {
        await _emsClient.SetValuesAsync(values); // Sends HTTP POST request

        foreach (var value as values)
            await value.MarkComplete();
    }
}

Now your writer is very simple:
public Task WriteAsync(string fullName, object value)
{
    var request = new ValueRequest { FullName = fullName, Value = value };

    lock (_valuesLock)
    {
        _valueRequests.Add(request)
    };
    await request.AwaitCompletion();
}

Also, I suggest you look into using a BlockingCollection, which is designed to handle a producer/consumer queue, and would allow you to get rid of most of your lock blocks.

Powermatic® Free Swing is the latest controlled, concealed door closer to be introduced by Samuel Heath.
Connected to the building's 24-volt fire alarm system, the new door closer can function in the same way as the company's popular Powermatic® door closer or can allow a door to be operated manually and left open as desired once the mechanism has been primed by opening the door to its maximum. When the fire alarm is activated, or there is a power failure, the inactive door closer becomes active and the door is closed automatically at a controlled rate.
The new door closer complies with two harmonised European performance standards, BS EN 1154 (controlled door closing devices) and BS EN 1155 (electrically powered free swing and hold-open devices), and is manufactured in the United Kingdom under processes and systems that comply with BS EN 9001, thereby allowing it to carry the CE mark.
In addition to meeting all relevant fire and accessibility requirements, Powermatic® Free Swing offers a number of advantages over standard, surface mounted door closers thanks to the fact that it is totally concealed when the door is closed.
Concealment ensures that the appearance of doors and interiors is not spoiled by the unsightly control arms and boxes that are a feature of ordinary door closers. It also assures a more homely, less institutionalised environment, something that is highly valued in health and care applications.
Other benefits of the door closer include a reduced risk of damage from vandalism and suitability for use in anti-ligature measures.
Available in nine finishes, including polished brass, polished chrome and satin chrome, Powermatic® Free Swing will complement traditional and contemporary decorative themes in residential care homes, health, commercial, hotel and education projects.
The door closer is totally maintenance-free and has been tested to in excess of 500,000 cycles. Its reliability is backed by a manufacturer's 10-year guarantee. Full technical support, including installation instructions and on-site assistance is also available.

CBRE Global Investors Acquires Prime Grade A Office Building in Prague from Skanska
PRAGUE 1 August 2019 – CBRE Global Investors, on behalf of one of its global separate account clients, has exchanged contracts to acquire Praga Studios, a high-quality grade A office building in Prague, Czech Republic for €55m. The newly developed asset was completed by Skanska in the second quarter of 2019.
The prime office building is multi-let and anchored by Edwards Lifesciences, the world's leading medical equipment company. The other four tenants include a co-working operator and IT companies. The new building meets the highest technical standards and is expected to receive LEED Platinum (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) and WELL Core & Shell certificates.
The 12,085 sq m asset spans seven floors and is located in Prague 8, one of the fastest growing office submarkets in the city. Prague 8 is considered an extension of the Prague CBD and attracts tech and creative occupiers to its mix-use environment, offering excellent connectivity by public transport and is easily accessible from the city centre. The building also provides 115 parking spaces for the occupiers.
Myles Sanger, Portfolio Director, CBRE Global Investors, said: "We are building a well-diversified office portfolio for our client in EMEA and Praga Studios is a high-quality addition to their existing assets""
Adrian Karczewicz, Head of Divestments at Skanska commercial development business unit in the CEE said: "Prague is one of the most desirable locations in Central and Eastern Europe. While the office stock is constantly growing, the demand for prime office assets remains very high among tenants and investors, both domestic and international. I am glad that Skanska could offer CBRE Global Investors a fully leased A-class building in one of the best locations in the Czech capital city."
Praga Studios is Skanska's 11th development in Prague. It defines a new high-quality standard for futureproof offices combined with industrial tradition of the Karlin district. Original façade, green roofs and an open-to-public specious atrium, where artistic and cultural events can take place are among its many interesting features making this place special. The building will also be equipped with an innovative integrated operating system – Connected by Skanska – which facilitates daily building and office management.
The deal is expected to close in Q4 2019.

Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic continue winning starts at CONCACAF Olympic qualifier
By Nancy Gillen
Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic earned their second consecutive wins at the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Men's Olympic Qualifying Championships.
Dominican Republic thrashed Antigua and Barbuda 4-0 in front of home support at Estadio Panamericano in San Cristóbal, while Puerto Rico narrowly defeated Saint Lucia 1-0 at the same venue.
They both have six points in Group D and will play each other in the next round of matches on Sunday (July 21), determining who will win the group and progress to the play-off round.
In Group A, Dominica failed to build on the point claimed against Jamaica as they suffered a 4-0 loss to Saint Kitts and Nevis at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex in the Jamaican capital of Kingston.
Barbados recorded a 1-0 victory against Cuba in Group B at Bethlehem Soccer Complex in Saint Croix in United States Virgin Islands.
Group C is yet to get under way, with matches commencing on Wednesday (July 24) at Truman Bodden Sports Complex in George Town in the Cayman Islands.
