Celebrating our Military!
Military May starts with the recognition of outstanding Squadrons of our local Armed Forces.
At the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce we host annually the Military May Luncheon. This year's festivities were presented by High West Energy on Friday, May 3rd and recognized squadrons for their outstanding achievements with the Cheyenne Trophy Awards. Plus there are more events coming this month to continue to honor our local Armed Forces and veterans. Andy Worshek, Chairman of the Chamber's Military Affairs Committee (MAC) and Patrick Collins, owner of The Bicycle Station, as well as Past Chairman of MAC recognized the following during the presentation of awards:
90th OPERATIONS SUPPORT SQUADRON The 90th Operations Support Squadron distinguished itself as Francis E. Warren Air Force Base's most outstanding unit from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. During this period, they performed 10,392 nuclear alert hours, trained 57 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile instructors, and facilitated over 5,000 hours of training for 253 crew members. The unit's efforts in their diverse mission set were instrumental to the community of Cheyenne and the security of the United States. Additionally, the members of the unit dedicated a total of 2,870 combined hours of community service in support of various local organizations. The distinctive accomplishments of the 90th Operations Support Squadron reflect great credit upon themselves and the United States Air Force. 153d SECURITY FORCES SQUADRON The 153d Security Forces Squadron, Wyoming Air National Guard, distinguished itself by exceptionally meritorious service from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. During this period, members were deployed to three separate countries in support of Operation INHERENT RESOLVE, FREEDOM'S SENTINEL, and the 2018 Winter Olympics. Additionally, the unit trained members of the Wyoming Military Department in domestic operations exceeding Governor Mead's expectations. Finally, numerous members volunteered in their local communities to include two being elected to the Cheyenne Frontier Days Crisis Fund Board raising over $200K for local catastrophes. 84th CIVIL SUPPORT TEAM The 84th Civil Support Team's dedication and outstanding support of first responders exemplifies the highest values embraced by the National Guard. The joint service members of the team have loyally served the citizens of Wyoming during real-world and stand-by mission, while participating in multiple national and regional exercises, and maintaining exemplary evaluation status in garrison and tactically. The 84th Civil Support Team continues to be one of the top 10 most active civil support teams in the nation with 96 real-world responses, over 70 stand-by mission, and over 190 assists. Thank you to all of the sponsors who make Military May possible. An array of upcoming events include the Governor's Proclamation, date tentatively May 17th, and the Armed Forces BBQ on Saturday, May 18th at 10 a.m. at High West Energy.

WENATCHEE– Officials with Confluence Health say the community's response to a prescription drug disposal project has been an overwhelming success.
Adams said the containers are able to take any type of medication whether prescription or over-the-counter medications.
"What took us so long [on this project] was our ability to be able to take back prescription pain medicines," Adams said.
Adams and Dr. Pete Rutherford discussed the success of the Drug Take Back project on today's Wake Up Wenatchee Valley program with guest host Steve Hair. Confluence Health has set up prescription medication disposal boxes at Wenatchee Valley Hospital, Central Washington Hospital and Lake City Pharmacy in Moses Lake.
Confluence Health has partnered with Sharps Compliance to combat the growing epidemic of prescription drug abuse. They've setup free disposal boxes for unused and expired medications that are available to the public 24-hours a day.


Peso depreciation: Should we be worried?
There seems to be some confusion about the economic impact of the peso's recent depreciation against the dollar. Depending on who you listen to, the peso's 7-year low would seem to be disastrous at worst or beneficial at best.
On the other hand, the government's economic managers have taken a more sober stance. Budget Secretary Diokno allayed investors' concerns by saying that the depreciation is "no cause for concern". Finance Secretary Sonny Dominguez even claimed that the economy might even benefit from a "slightly weak" peso.
What's really happening to the peso, and should we be worried or not? First, let's review the facts and put things in perspective.
Figure 1 below confirms that the peso slumped to a 7-year low this week. The last time the nominal exchange rate reached P48 per US dollar was in 2009 at the height of the global economic crisis. Note, however, that the peso has been generally depreciating since 2013.
Figure 1. Source: fxtop.com. Period covered: Jan 2001 to Sept 30, 2016. Note: orange trend refers to maximum per month. Blue line refers to level as of Sept 2016.
The same data also suggest that the recent depreciation is nowhere near the massive swings in the peso's value seen over the past 15 years. Figure 2 shows that the peso's slump this September represents a small blip compared to its massive appreciation in 2007-2008 or its similarly massive depreciation in 2008-2009 at the height of the global economic crisis.
Figure 2. Source: Author's calculations of data from fxtop.com. Period covered: Jan 2001 to Sept 30, 2016. Note: growth rates computed from maximum exchange rate per month.
The peso's recent depreciation is not only relatively small, but also not bad per se. In fact, certain sectors can indeed benefit from it. To see this, let's go back to what "depreciation" and "appreciation" mean.
When the peso "depreciates" (say, from P45 to P50 per US dollar), Filipino goods and services become cheaper in the eyes of foreigners, boosting the sales of the economy's dollar-earning sectors which constitute as much as 40% of the economy, according to the finance department. These include exports, tourism, and BPOs, as well as OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) whose remittances take on larger values, thus increasing the purchasing power of their families back at home.
On the other hand, when the peso "appreciates" (say, from P45 to P40 per US dollar), Filipino goods and services become more expensive in the eyes of foreigners. Consequently, foreign goods become cheaper in the eyes of Filipinos, who then have greater capacity to purchase more foreign goods. It is in this sense that a peso appreciation is often quoted by the media as a "strengthening" of the peso.
Overall, a sizeable proportion of the country's population stands to benefit from the peso's depreciation. This episode of depreciation may also benefit the country on the whole, given that our global competitiveness ranking has slipped by 10 notches from last year.
Some have correctly pointed out that the recent depreciation could also mean that the country will have to pay more for its foreign debts. While true, this would be worrisome only if the peso continuously depreciates in the coming weeks and months.
A symptom of capital flight?
Perhaps a greater cause of concern is whether the peso's depreciation is a symptom of capital flight – that is, an exodus of financial assets. There are two factors at play here.
First, some say that the peso's slump is due to the US central bank's impending announcement of raising their interest rates by the end of 2016, which implies greater returns for US investments. When investors sell their financial assets in the Philippines to invest in the US, they need to exchange their peso assets back into dollars. This floods the currency market with pesos and lowers the price of pesos in terms of dollars – hence, a depreciation.
Which factor holds more water? Thankfully, some indicators point to the former rather than the latter.
For instance, it's true that the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) saw a continuous net foreign selling of stocks since mid-August – meaning that for 6 weeks straight, foreign stock investors have sold more stocks than they have bought.
But Figure 3 shows that the sell-off seems to have peaked in early September and has already reversed this week. Could this indicate that the worst is over? Only time will tell.
Figure 3. Source: PSE website. Period covered: Jan. 4, 2016 to Sept. 23, 2016. Note: net foreign selling is depicted on the negative axis (below zero).
What about the President's claim of currency manipulation by the US? Currency manipulation is commonly understood to occur when a government actively weakens its exchange rate to make its goods cheaper to foreigners and to prop up exports.
While the peso's depreciation to a 7-year low is no cause for concern, it remains to be seen whether it will persist due to sustained capital flight. The government need only ensure that the business climate improves in the coming months, and not worsens.
If anything, the kerfuffle caused by the peso's slump gave us a rare peek into the President's understanding of market forces and global economics – views that we have not had much chance to hear given the intense focus on the drug war.
Moving forward, it's good that we're monitoring the progress of the Philippine economy under the Duterte administration using indicators like the peso-dollar exchange rate.

Loss of Mr. Richard Leyrer, WAKO IF Vice President
BoardCommitteeIOCKickboxingWAKO
Dear All kickboxing colleagues, dear Friends,
It is with deep sadness I have to announce the sudden loss of Richard Leyrer, Vice-President of WAKO.
That our dear friend, Richard, no more will be part of us is something I think many of us can hardly understand. Richard was indeed a dedicated soul, a part of WAKO since the very beginning. A pioneer in his country and one of the persons in WAKO who have characterized WAKO. His success being a leader of WAKO Hungary is not enough proof of his endeavors, a country among the strongest ones in WAKO today. Richard became Vice-President of the Hungarian Olympic Committee with a lot of power in his country building a lot of respect in many countries in the international sports life, Richard was also very well respected in IOC as well as in SportAccord.
I remember the Championships WAKO had in Hungary, both in Budapest and in Szeged. They were conducted professionally as expected but much more than that. Richard sacrifised his personality, as he did within the WAKO Board. WAKO was his life, Kickboxing was his life, Sport was his life.
Richard was a great colleague and friend of Ennio Falsoni, our President. Together they were a great team, full of power and energy. Personally I have been his guest in Hungary several times and I do cherish those moments because they were lived with honesty, dedication, life and love.
WAKO have lost a huge resource and a true member of the family. My most sincere condolences go to his loved wife Julianna, to his family, to his friends, to his federation and to Hungarian Olympic Committee and the sports community. I will miss Richard deeply.
I honour Richard Leyrer for what he did and for what he was.
Richard passed away in the morning on 3rd January 2015 at the age of 66.
Espen Lund
WAKO Acting President

Would curiosity really kill the cat?
When I think about it, I've spent a lot of my life driven by fear. I have a well practiced fear of failure, fear of making the wrong choices, fear of other people not liking me and my personal favourite fear of looking stupid. Despite my older sister calling me stupid on a fairly regular basis, I've done a pretty good job of avoiding anything that could potentially put me on the stupid person pedestal.
Of course, there have been times I have let my guard down or been forced into a corner. I have a distinct memory of being forced into a 2 on 2 game of basketball with my then boyfriend (now husband..and thank goodness, no more basketball is involved). I can't catch or throw a ball, so I knew my chances of nailing this game were pretty much zero and none…so I did what my fear told me to do, I didn't even try. Because if you don't try, you can't look stupid… right? Far worse to look like I am putting effort in and demonstrate that I really couldn't do it. Everyone would just laugh. Instead, I made it obvious I wasn't putting any effort in and they just got annoyed at me. And somehow that was easier. But it has been forever etched in my mind as a moment of complete awkwardness, and a feeling I have continued to spend my life avoiding.
This week I was listening to a podcast interview with Elizabeth Gilbert (she wrote Eat, Pray, Love by the way), talking about her new book Big Magic. Yet again, I don't really remember the actual contents of the conversation (details are not my thing)… but her sentiment is this… we can either let fear or curiosity guide the choices that we make in life. Fear limits us and fear is a great "shape shifter", appearing as self loathing or embarrassment or anger or a myriad of other things. And whilst fear has some benefits (it helps to keep us protected)…generally speaking it is way too over protective… much like a helicopter parent.
But living a life full of curiosity, is open and freeing. It makes life interesting. And I have realised, really by accident, that just recently I have become immensely curious and it has been extremely enjoyable. I am loving reading, listening and exploring all these things about personal development and career and life. And writing this blog has given me a perspective on my own life which is more curious than fearful. Sometimes, it is like watching myself from an observer point of view rather than a participant. And through that lens, things don't seem as crazy or sad, they just seem interesting. And I'm loving this new feeling it is all giving me.
If I think back at my basketball scenario. And approached the game with a sense of curiosity rather than fear. What would I have done differently? I think I would have given it ago, I would have got in there and been curious. Perhaps asked the others for some advice or tips. Thrown the ball, observed where it went (straight over the roof perhaps?!) and then just learned from that for next time. I probably would have laughed at myself. Had fun.
So…when you approach a decision in your life today. Ask yourself, am I making my choice out of fear, or out of curiosity… because curiosity very rarely actually kills the cat, infact…maybe their instinctive curiosity is really why they have "nine lives"?!
Hi Amanda…good points. It reminds me of the whole concept of enjoying the process rather than the end result. We do have a tendency in our culture to be very focused on that end result, hence the pressure on success rather than failure. Glad to know it is something we can change and we're not just stuck with!!

Luke 22:54–62 [54] Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed at a distance. [55] Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. [56] And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, "This man was also with Him." [57] But he denied Him, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him." [58] And after a little while another saw him and said, "You also are of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!" [59] Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a Galilean." [60] But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. [61] And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." [62] So Peter went out and wept bitterly.

OCamlGraph is a library for graphs and graph algorithms.
ods is an algorithm/data structure library, though it isn't as fully-featured as the standard libraries.
Discrete Interval Encoding Trees: Useful for storing interval sets and testing membership efficiently.
Interval: An interval arithmetic library.
psq: Functional priority search queues library.
Containers (a standard library) contains the CCHet data structure, which uses generative first-class modules on the inside to store values of different types.
hmap: Hmap is another variation of a heterogeneous map.
gmap: Allows for the creation of a heterogeneous map wrapped in a user-provided GADT. As opposed to the above solution, the full closed universe of possible types to be stored must be known by the user.

I've already shared my tips on packing like a pro for your holiday travels, but what about the items I'm actually packing? I leave for the east coast for 3 weeks straight, so I've got to make my clothes count. My uniform of late has been all about layers, which is totally perfect for traveling for extended periods. Just thing of all the possibilities!
The base is always my favorite pair of distressed jeans, either in blue denim or black. Then I layer on a breezy tunic (like this one from Free People) and a chunky knit sweater for warmth. I also like to switch up my tunic choices. On warmer nights or when there's more of an 'occasion,' a good tunic can double as a dress over opaque black tights.
I try to keep my color palette tight and lately I've been gravitating towards black, charcoal grey, pale grey, and pale pink. It's kind of weird, but it's been working for me.

Shangri-La Hotel Sydney – Hotel Review
Brought to you by Qantas Hotels
Sydney is anchored by its vast and splendid harbour — locals lunch beside it, commute over it and admire it at every opportunity. At the towering Shangri-La Sydney, which peers out over Circular Quay, you'll be treated to a near-permanent panorama of the city's biggest drawcard in all its glory. Read on for the full review.
Every room in this five-star hotel gets a glimpse of the waterfront, with window seats for extended gazing to boot. From Level 36, at the hotel's incredible Blu Bar on 36, the views border on iconic: huge windows peer out over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, with the city glittering behind.
Where is Shangri-La Hotel Sydney?
Shangri-La Sydney looms over Circular Quay, in a corner of the CBD near the Cahill Expressway. It's approximately a 30-minute drive from Sydney International and Domestic Airports.
What's near Shangri-La Hotel Sydney?
Nothing is too far from Shangri-La Sydney. The Rocks and the Museum of Contemporary Art are just five minutes' walk away; Barangaroo and its galaxy of restaurants is 15 minutes by foot and, in less than 20 minutes along the water's edge, you'll be on the steps of Sydney Opera House.
A room for every type of traveller? It's possible, considering there are over 20 room types in total. The main variation is room size, with rooms spanning 40-42 square metres in the Deluxe Opera House City View Room right up to a staggering 242 square metres in the Royal Suite. The other notable differences are the views (some are of Pyrmont Bay; some seem as though hung directly over the famous "coat hanger"). Other inclusions, such as marble bathrooms with bathtubs, bathrobes and slippers and pillow menus, come standard for all rooms.
Altitude, the hotel's on-site eatery, shares the incredible views of Blu Bar on 36, both residing 36 levels up. The menu is hearty and satisfying with a modern European feel — in practice, that means meals such as chicken roulade with truffle jus or pumpkin risotto with crispy sage. Altitude also serves hot breakfast, spanning everything from potato rosti to waffles.
Blu Bar on 36 has a reputation quite apart from the hotel, deserved for its impressive panorama of the harbour and skyline. This is special occasion territory — perfect for a celebratory evening of drinks or a fancy high tea.
Travel for work
All room types feature full-sized executive writing desks and Wi-fi is free in all rooms. A business centre resides in the Lobby Lounge, offering a haven for business travellers to get some work done outside of their rooms, with printing facilities also available (it's worth checking the opening details prior to your stay). The Shangri-La Hotel also now offers free Wi-fi as part of their limousine services so staying connected while in transit is easy (and luxurious).
The Horizon Club, available when booking a room with this allocation, is a useful add-on for business travellers who don't want to sweat the small stuff. Not only do Horizon Club members gain access to the Horizon Club lounge, which offers complimentary daily breakfast, beverages and evening canapes, there are additional benefits such as free garment pressing, access to a private boardroom and late check-out.
Spa, pool and gym
Wellness facilities are abundant here. The indoor heated pool is a haven of cool whites and soothing blues, and there's also a whirlpool spa, dry sauna and sundeck. Chi, The Spa is where the indulgence can really be turned up: relaxation pods, incorporation of therapeutic-grade, ethically-sourced natural Sodashi products and an extensive menu of treatments ensure a blissful retreat from the everyday.
Children are eagerly welcomed here, too — you'll spot some kid-specific benefits for Shangri-La Circle club members, such as a helpful 50% discount on meals for kids aged seven to 11.

It is a worthwhile journey. Let's take it together, one step at a time.


Thankfully the fast by social activist Anna Hazare is now over with a positive outcome particularly in coagulation of public opinion against corruption which should hopefully lead to action to constitutional action to contain it in the days ahead. For some days however there were fears expressed of anarchy in Delhi. These are now considered to be passé as a democratic solution has emerged strengthening institutions.
Of the three primary pillars of the state, legislature, executive and the judiciary, retaining a perfect balance remains the key to survival of modern democracies.
The emergence of a vibrant civil society led by the middle class could be one of the defining trends in India's stability story in the beginning of the 21st Century. It is taking up slack that arms of the state have not been able to fulfill, point to errors of commission and omission and drive change.
This peaceful outcome comes in stark contrast to recent images of tanks rumbling in cities of Syria, protesters storming Tahrir Square in Cairo and armoured cars deployed in London. India is chastised by many for being a soft liberal State facing myriad challenges from insurgency to terrorism to agitations the Anna Hazare one being the latest and perhaps the most wide spread in recent times.
Against this backdrop, India's overall stability may appear a paradox, yet it reflects innate strength of the most populous democracy of all times nurtured by sturdy institutional pillars.
First and foremost remains the Indian Constitution, drafted by visionaries, it provides an ideal, "doctrine," of sorts for a nation with multiple identities, religion, caste, ethnicity or language. The all encompassing document has served the nation well and has sufficient flexibility to accommodate amendments necessitated by changing times. The Armed Forces owe allegiance to the Constitution thus they have symbolized the highest degree of professionalism unmoved by politics of the hour, a rarity in the post colonial developing World marred by coup plots and extended periods of military rule. Thus the Constitution has proved seminal in more ways than one.
Of the three primary pillars of the state, legislature, executive and the judiciary, retaining a perfect balance remains the key to survival of modern democracies. India's legislature comprising two houses of elected representatives the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha has been the amphitheatre of many historic debates the most seminal one in recent history was the one on the Indo US Nuclear Agreement which ended in a vote. There are many who may bemoan the histrionics that go on in both the houses, this is as much a result of television coverage of the proceedings as using the well as an arena for airing political differences.
Yet much serious parliamentary work takes place in preparatory meetings, committees and discussions which are away from the glare of publicity. The Bills some times passed in a jiffy may have been discussed by respective parliamentary committees threadbare. The members thus use the time of the house to address issues of common concern and no doubt for some plain personal or party promotion. However important bills which impact the state and society are extensively debated some times for inordinately long periods.
India's executive follows a hierarchical political and bureaucracy structure in three levels, Centre, States and Districts with sufficient autonomy to carry out functions of delivery of governance to the masses. The all India services provide the common framework for functioning with political direction and well-established systems in place to run the State with minimal interjections. This is supported by independent bodies such as the Election Commission which has provided for free and fair elections. Then there are other bodies such as the Central Vigilance Commission and Comptroller and Auditor General's office which are some times much reviled yet are able to provide an oversight over the State. The All India Civil Services and the Armed Forces provide the necessary managerial expertise in administration and security enabling continuity and credibility with internationally accepted norms of rights and governance.
Where the executive appears weak or is seen to have faltered the judiciary effectively steps in to apply correctives. Some are based on petitions filed by the aggrieved, others in public interest while in some cases suo motu notice is taken by courts when the executive is seen to overstep limits. An independent judiciary remains a strong pillar of the Indian state ensuring equity and balance.
This triad is supported by a vibrant fourth estate. An independent media has been India's strength over a period. The Press faced a dark patch during Emergency (1975-77) and having learnt from the past has strived to expose the truth through some fearless journalism. Today with an explosion of the electronic media, it is facing another crisis of balancing commercial interests to fund media houses with its core duty of speaking, "truth to power." Despite many imperfections during this evolutionary stage from the print to online mainstream and social media the Indian Press will continue to provide transparency and probity so essential in a modern nation state.
The emergence of a vibrant civil society led by the middle class could be one of the defining trends in India's stability story in the beginning of the 21st Century. It is taking up slack that arms of the state have not been able to fulfill, point to errors of commission and omission and drive change. While the methods of agitation employed or crass deriding of institutions by some may be reviling but the new civil society movement should be able to sensitize the state to perform its duties with greater diligence.
Underpinning India's solidity is its economy driven by factors such as high savings rate over 20 percent for the past three decades or more. Contrast this with that in America where it has never exceeded above 12 percent in the last six decades and remained dangerously below 5 percent in the past decade. India's GINI index which denotes degree of inequality is five points better than China and four point points the United States. The tax base in the country is growing at 15 percent which will facilitate growth, while corruption given the momentum provided by civil society watch dogs is bound to come down. There is an entrepreneurial private industry and business class which is becoming globally relevant. Above all are a sense of family values and puritanical traditions which continue to remain largely in tact in the post modern era.
At the same time there are immense challenges of security, of sustained growth and a large number of impoverished, uneducated and unemployed. Their outpourings may come on the streets but the state has the flexibility and resilience to prevent anarchy of the Arab Springs and Violet revolutions. Above all Indians today are taking a civilisational view drawing strength from heritage of leading prosperity for centuries. This will dictate the trajectory of success for India in the decades ahead.
In your account, you describe India as one would a production line motor car: all its functioning parts working for the success of the machine, identified as to name, that rolls off as one entity. In the case of India, its success determines the institutions and laws to enable this. This incurs anomalies, as when official policy conflicts with the rights of people in a given area of life, where what is best for India comes up against for is best for the people that stand in its way. Examples abound: usually, some compromise is achieved, whereby it is people power or human rights that prevails the solutions of the complex machine; and proves it is these human rights that above all determine a progress within a nation. Any other concept of progress of India, named as a living entity, is fraught with the demands that burden its people with its ideals, you could even say delusions of grandeur, and oppress the many under the ideals of the few who have the means to get a safe and comfortable ride.

With the widespread use of mobile computing devices in contemporary society, our trajectories in the physical space and virtual world are increasingly closely connected. Using the anonymous smartphone data, we can construct the communication network, mobility network, and attention network, and further analyze the data in the perspective of network science.
Abstract Every human behavior, including communicative behavior, involves four basic elements (4Ws): Who does What at When and Where. Out of these 4Ws, we have accumulated some knowledge about Who and What with traditional research methods (e.g., survey, experiment, and content analysis). However, due to the unavailability of time-stamped and geo-tagged data, little is known about the When (i.e., temporal) and Where (i.e., spatial) elements in human behavior. The increasing popularity of social media, the expanding capabilities of mobile devices, and the rapid advancement of computational methods provide social researchers a "social telescope" (Golder & Macy, 2014, Annual Review of Sociology) to examine the temporal and spatial characteristics of human behavior at different levels of granularities.
The proposed panel focuses on how to model the temporal and spatial features of human behavior with mobility data in a precise and parsimonious way. The interdisciplinary panelists will use empirical examples from their own studies and others' research to demonstrate: (1) how we can conceptualize and/or operationalize temporal and spatial variables with different mobility datasets (e.g., mobile phone use and mobile apps use); (2) how we can develop empirical/mathematical models to capture and explain the temporal and spatial characteristics of human behavior; and (3) what are the theoretical and/or practical implications in the temporal and spatial analysis of mobility data. Moreover, the panelists will discuss some "critical" questions that have been voiced: What are major challenges communication researchers need to handle in analyzing mobility data? How can communication researchers work with researchers from other disciplines in mobility modeling? How can we deal with personal privacy, replicability, and other legal/ethical dilemmas?
The panel aims to help raise the awareness among communication scholars of opportunities and risks in the modelling of mobility data. Moreover, the panel will try to build an interdisciplinary dialogue on computational research between communication researchers, computer scientists, and research scientists from the industry.

He is also the director of Ogilvy Data Science Lab, Computational Communication Collaboratory. His research on computational communication appears in both SSCI and SCI indexed journals, such as Scientific Reports, PloS ONE, Physica A, Cyberpsychology, and Journal of Social and Personal Relationships.
Hello everyone. My name is Xinzhi Zhang, from baptist university of hong kong. The title of our presentation is analyzing mobile phone data with network science. I will briefly introduce the authors. Cheng-Jun Wang is currently an assistant research fellow in the School of Journalism and Communication, Nanjing University. And Xinzhi Zhang is currently a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Journalism of Hong Kong Baptist University.
Computational social science provides a new lens for our research of human communication behaviors. Especially, it emphasizes the perspective of network science and big data,including website logs and web-based experiment. Duncan Watts claims that "If handled appropriately, data about Internet-based communication and interactivity could revolutionize our understanding of collective human behaviour". D. Watts, A twenty-first century science. Nature 445, 489 (2007).
Network science is important for communication research because: Firstly, we live our life in networks; and complex is a mathematical representation of various social systems. More important, compared with the other computational methods, such as computer simulations, network science is more closely connected with the real world data.
The mobile phone widely used in contemporary society supplies many social data for our studies, including the calling & messaging data, the online surfing data, and the mobility data. Just as Michael Macy said, it's been really transformative. The digital traces help understand individual and group behavior at unprecedented scales and levels of detail.
For the human mobility data, we have small-scale travel surveys before, it can be coupled with GPS loggers. The rapid rise and prevalence of digital media provides a lot of big data, including: Mobile hone data, social media data, smartcard data, taxi trips data, game data.
Mobile phone positioning is required when a user communicates with the network. When a user initiates a network connection event (e.g. a voice-call), the cellular network operator needs to know his/her location in order to determine the cell tower used to channel this event. In this way, the subsequent positions of the user can be well documented.
With the aid of the available data, researchers tried to study human mobility. For example, Brockman 2006 used the trajectories of dollar bills to study the dispersal of human, and they find that the distribution of length r can not be described as levy flights. Random processes with such a single-step distribution are known as Levy flights. Levy flights assumes that there is a power-law relationship between pr and r, the power exponent beta is usually smaller than 2. The simple Levy flight picture for dispersal is incomplete, since the dispersal is weak than expected. This is because the antagonistic interplay between scale-free displacements and waiting times: people might be less likely leave larger cities, and there are long periods of rest. Instead, they tried to describe human moblity as a continuous-time random walk, CTRW. The probability Wr(r,t) of having traversed a distance r at time t, where Lα,β is a universal scaling function that represents the characteristics of the process. According to ctrw model, t^(-α/β)*W(r, t) = Lα,β= (r/t^(α/β))**-gamma. Thus, they can fit the relationship between t^(-α/β)*W(r, t) and r/t^(α/β).
Gonzalez 2008 tried to study individual human mobility, and find that the distribution of both displacements and radius of gyration over all users is well approximated by a truncated power-law (see the left figures and the equations, here Rg is the radius of gyration for each user). However, after After rescaling the distance and the distribution with rg (main panel), the different curves collapse (see the right figure).
They observed that the distribution of time intervals of mobility follows a power law distribution, implies strong bursts. q stands for the probability of unknown locations, p(q) follows a normal distribution with a mean = .7, indicating that we have no location update for about 70% of the hourly intervals, which masks the user's real entropy S. The big nodes in the mobility networks are those old locations the individual preferentially return to.
Song measure the entropy of each individual's trajectory to understand the potential predictability in user mobility. They distinguished three kinds of entropy, i) the random entropy s_rand, ii) the temporal uncorrelated entropy, s_unc, and iii) the reall entropy S. Let ∏ (/paɪ/ ) denote the predictability, it measures how can a algorithm predict correctly. Panel a shows the distribution of three kinds of entropies; Panel b shows the distribution of the predictability. Panel C shows the relationship between ∏max and rg We can find that a 93% of potential predictability in Panel C.
Brockmann and Helbing 2013 uses the global mobility network to study the arrival time of epidemics. The global mobility network is constructed from the worldwide air traffic between 4069 airports with 25,453 direct connections. Let pmn denote the fraction of travelers that leave node n and arrive at node m, we define the effective distance dnm from a node n to a connected node m as dnm = 1 – log pmn >= 1 . The effective distance between two undirectly connected nodes can be computed as the minimum value of the product of a series of dij between m and n. In this way, the arrival time of epidemics can be precisely predicted.
Schich 2014 construct historical migration network using the birth-death location data of 120,211 individuals, which provide historical evidence for global patterns and local instabilities in human mobility dynamics.
We will talk in details about the study Titled Tracing the Attention of Moving Citizens. With the widespread use of mobile computing devices in contemporary society, our trajectories in the physical space and virtual world are increasingly closely connected. Using the anonymous smartphone data of 1×105 users in a major city of China, we study the interplay between online and offline human behaviors by constructing the mobility network (offline) and the attention network (online).
We primarily study their difference in terms of the network structure. Most complex networks are found to be small-world, but also many networks are fractal. For example, the internet is a small world. While the WWW is fractal. Fractals look the same on all scales = `scale-invariant'. There is a famous question about how long is the coastline of Norway. The answer depends on the length of your ruler. We can study the fractal patterns using the method of box covering. The box length is lb, and the number of boxes is nb, there is a power law relationship between them.
Using the box-covering method in networks, we can also calculate the box dimension db from the equation of nb(lb). Using the box-covering method, song renormalize the www network and find lb = 3, ie, within three steps, the www network can be transformed to a star network. We renormalize mobility network and attention network to compute db. There are 9899 nodes and 39,083 edges in the mobility network (Density = 7.9×10−4), and there are 16,476 nodes and 144,909 edges in the attention network (Density = 10.6 × 10−4). The diameter of the mobility network is 15, and the diameter of the attention network is only 10.
We find that (A) The number of boxes N(lB) is a power law function of box length lB in the attention network, and these two variables show an exponential relationship in the mobility network. (B) In the mobility network, the degree correlation (measured by the Pearson correlation coefficient Cor(Knn, k)) decreases from positive to negative when lB = 4, while the correlation remains negative in the attention network. Panel (C,D) show the transition of degree correlation in details. For the mobility network ©, the slope of data points is positive when lB ⩽ 3, and the slope turns negative when lB ⩾ 4. Meanwhile, the correlation is always negative in the attention network (D).
The spatial division manifests the location-based online behaviors. There are obvious spatial constrained patterns. We show the geographical distribution of three kinds of mobile Internet use behaviors. A. Shopping (red), B. Dating (blue), and C. Taxi-calling (orange). The spatial-constrained attachment is well developed in geometric network models. We use it to reproduce our findings. We use geometric network models of different linking dynamics to test our assumptions on the origins of the observed fractal and small-world patterns in individual behaviors. In all, we suggest that we find that they belong to two different classes: the mobility network is small-world, whereas the attention network is fractal. online and offline behavior could be governed by very different mechanisms.
Finally, we would like to highlight some resources for human mobility research. NetworkX is a Python language software package for the creation, manipulation, and study of the structure, dynamics, and functions of complex networks. http://networkx.github.io/ geopy is a Python client for several popular geocoding web services. It helps to locate the coordinates of addresses, cities, countries, and landmarks across the globe using third-party geocoders and other data sources. bandicoot (http://bandicoot.mit.edu) is Python toolbox to analyze mobile phone metadata. With only a few lines of code, load your datasets, visualize the data, perform analyses, and export the results. Folium builds on the data wrangling strengths of the Python ecosystem and the mapping strengths of the Leaflet.js library. Manipulate your data in Python, then visualize it in on a Leaflet map via Folium.
Thank you for your attention. This is the end.

Fiji's infrastructure is regularly affected by rainfall-induced slope failures, but the engineering properties of failed soils are rarely described. We report mineralogical, geotechnical and index properties of soils from headscarp exposures of 18 slope failures from tropical residual soils of differing parent rocks in Viti Levu, Fiji. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction revealed that kaolinite and smectite are the dominant clay minerals in the soils. Index properties included in situ moisture content (28–114%), dry bulk density (0.7–1.5 g cm−3), Atterberg limits (25–56% plastic limit; 38–79% liquid limit), effective particle size (0.4–12.6 μm) and clay fraction (0.6–19%). Geotechnical measurements included field compressive strength (127–461 kPa), hydraulic conductivity (c. 10−7 m s−1), shear vane (16–128 kPa), ring shear (9.3–17.4°) and Emerson dispersion. Collectively, results indicated that most of the soils were cohesive, stiff, sensitive and in a plastic state in the field. Soils plotted below the A-line on the plasticity chart as fine silts of intermediate to high plasticity, and can theoretically sustain >50° slopes. Failure of these soils following high rainfall events is influenced by low permeability and the presence of expanding clays (e.g. smectite), causing temporary porewater pressure increases. No explicit relationships between soil properties and parent lithology were evident.

Paintings of writing 2
Paul Louis Martin des Amoignes (1858–1925), In the Classroom (1886), oil on canvas, 68.5 × 110.5 cm, location not known. Wikimedia Commons.
In yesterday's opening article about paintings of people writing, I showed how these changed during the Dutch Golden Age to reflect the introduction of education. What had been a skill confined to a small minority of well-educated individuals spread through the middle and upper classes, and even into some villages in the country.
Writing became much more than a social nicety which allowed gentlefolk to keep in touch with their friends: some of those who could write turned their skills to change society. With increasing numbers able to read, newspapers became more influential, and some journalists became revolutionaries.
Jean-Paul Marat was a leading member of the Revolutionary movement in France, an influential journalist through his newspaper, and a friend of the artist Jacques-Louis David, who had become embroiled in Revolutionary politics. Because of a severe skin disease, Marat spent much of the time in a bath to ease the intense itching. On the morning of 13 July 1793, Charlotte Corday, a young woman from Normandy, turned up at Marat's house in Paris, asking to see him; his fiancée turned her away. She gained entry that evening, and started to give Marat the names of some local counter-revolutionaries. While he was writing them down, she drew a kitchen knife with a 15 cm (6 inch) blade from her clothing, and plunged it into Marat's chest, killing him very quickly.
Corday admitted if not boasted of her actions, and on 17 July she was executed in public by guillotine. Marat became a martyr for the cause, after his friend David had organised his spectacular funeral, and an enduring painted memorial.
Jacques-Louis David (1748–1825), Marat Assassinated (1793), oil on canvas, 165 x 128 cm, Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels. Wikimedia Commons.
David shows Marat's body slumped over the side of his bath, the murder weapon and his quill both on the floor, the pen still in his right hand, and a handwritten note in his left hand. Corday's note gives the date, and addresses itself from her to Citizen Marat. It opens with "It suffices to say that I am very unhappy to qualify for your kindness".
Fortunately, few writers or journalists met similar fates, and the relentless development of education became more popular in painting in the middle of the nineteenth century.
Robert Braithwaite Martineau (1826–1869), Kit's Writing Lesson (1852), oil on canvas, 52.1 x 70.5 cm, The Tate Gallery (Presented by Mrs Phyllis Tillyard 1955), London. Photographic Rights © Tate 2016, CC-BY-NC-ND 3.0 (Unported), http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/martineau-kits-writing-lesson-t00011
The only artist in the nineteenth century who seems to have painted any significant number of narrative works based on popular contemporary writers is Robert Braithwaite Martineau (1826-1869). The Tate Gallery has two such paintings of his: above is Kit's Writing Lesson (1852), showing a less than memorable scene from Dickens' The Old Curiosity Shop. The other (not shown here) is Picciola (1853), based on the 1836 novel of the same name by the obscure French novellist Xavier Boniface Saintine (1798-1865).
Just as I showed three children from the Dutch Golden Age pooling their skills to answer a letter, there were also those who earned their living from more mundane writing.
Richard Dadd (1817–1886), Eastern Letter Writer (1863), watercolour with brown ink on medium, smooth, beige wove paper, 48.6 × 36.5 cm, Yale Center for British Art (Gift of Michael D. Coe, Yale MAH 1968), New Haven, CT. Courtesy of the Yale Center for British Art.
Richard Dadd's elaborate watercolour of an Eastern Letter Writer from 1863 must have originated from a sketch made when he was in the Middle East, showing a man writing a letter as a business service to another. To that, he has added more incongruous buildings and figures, such as the moustachioed villain at the left, giving the whole a slightly surreal touch.
The nineteenth century also saw a rise in the role and status of professions, whose members were among those who wrote on a daily basis.
Emmery Rondahl (1858-1914), The Doctor's Orders (1882), oil on canvas, 43.2 x 55.9 cm, location not known. Wikimedia Commons.
Emmery Rondahl's The Doctor's Orders (1882) shows a country doctor writing a prescription, perhaps, for an older patient who is tucked up in a magnificent fitted bed in their own home. On the chair between them, in the centre of the painting, is a candle in a holder, a bottle of medicine, and a spoon.
One of the more curious myths about the early kings of Rome tells of a nymph who apparently dictated the city's first codified laws to King Numa.
Ulpiano Checa (1860–1916), The Nymph Egeria Dictating to Numa Pompilius the Laws of Rome (c 1886), oil on canvas, 300 x 200 cm, Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain. Image by Poniol60, via Wikimedia Commons.
Ulpiano Checa's The Nymph Egeria Dictating to Numa Pompilius the Laws of Rome (c 1886) offers a conventional account, with King Numa sat writing down the laws on scrolls of paper using a reed pen. Egeria appears as a simple and very naked nymph, in accordance with the linked legend of Numa and Egeria being lovers – which the biographer Plutarch denies.
Paul Louis Martin des Amoignes' wonderful In the Classroom (1886) looks as if it may have been painted from photographs. One boy, staring intently at the teacher in front of the class, is caught crisply, pencil poised in his hand. Beyond him the crowd of heads becomes more blurred.
Towards the end of the century, writing had become so common that it featured in many paintings of domestic interiors.
Lesser Ury (1861–1931), Woman at a Writing-Desk (1898), oil on canvas, 71 x 51.5 cm, Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin, Germany. Wikimedia Commons.
Lesser Ury's Woman at a Writing-Desk from 1898 is an everyday interior with a woman, a pianist perhaps, sitting writing at her bureau-style desk. The popularity of those bureaux was perhaps one mark of the achievement of education.
Carl Larsson (1853–1919), Model Writing Postcards (1906), watercolour, 68 × 100 cm, Thielska Galleriet, Stockholm, Sweden. Wikimedia Commons.
Carl Larsson's Model Writing Postcards (1906) is an interesting painting, not only for the odd incongruity of its nude model who is engaged in writing postcards, but for its inclusion of two paintings within the painting. That on the easel at the left is presumably the painting on which Larsson and the model are currently working, and appears to be a figure study for one of the artist's larger murals.
Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), The Letter (c 1906), oil on canvas, 55 x 47 cm, The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC. The Athenaeum.
Pierre Bonnard painted a few interiors in which a woman is writing. The Letter from about 1906 is a conventional portrait of a well-dressed woman sitting at a table to write a letter, and may have used Anita Champagne as the model.
Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), Misia Godebska Writing (c 1910), oil on canvas, 64.4 x 50 cm, Private collection. The Athenaeum.
One of the last portraits painted of Bonnard's former muse and patron Misia Natanson (or Sert), Misia Godebska Writing, was painted in about 1910. Although a basic view of her head and shoulders, there is a little mirror play to reveal her chignon.
Jean Béraud (1849–1935), The Letter (1908), oil on canvas, 45.7 × 37.2 cm, Private collection. Wikimedia Commons.
My final painting, Jean Béraud's The Letter from 1908, offers a glimpse into the café culture of the years prior to the First World War. The man looks rough, and is unshaven, although the woman is elegantly dressed, and engaged in writing a letter. In front of each of them is a glass of absinthe, notorious for the severe forms of alcoholism with which it was associated.
Six years later, far too many of the men of Europe were writing from the trenches to their loved ones. What had started out as a means of keeping accounts on clay tablets had changed society.

Q: Angular - Add debounce to an event I am using mouseenter and mouseleave events to handle sidenav opening and closing in my app.
I would like to add a bit of debounce  to these events, because right now if you hover the container with these events fast, these events are being called a lot of times and I'm getting weird behavior with my sidenav. How can I add debounce to these events ? Is it event possible ?

A: Add a template reference variable on your button :
<button #button>Click me</button>

Reference it inside your component using @ViewChild
@ViewChild('button') button: ElementRef;

Use fromEvent from rxjs to listen to the click event and use the debounceTime operator :
ngAfterViewInit() {
    fromEvent(this.button.nativeElement, 'click').pipe(
      debounceTime(2000) // 2 seconds
    ).subscribe(() => {
      // do whatever
    });
  }

A: RXJS has a function FromEvent which convert event to Stream
u have to create two streams ,one on enter and other on leave
I think with debounceTime u should use distinctUntilChanged as well.
otherwise it will emit true true, or false false , but u need true false or false true sequence
 @ViewChild('sizeMenu')
  set SizeMenu(sizeMenu: ElementRef) {
    let mouseEnter$ = fromEvent(sizeMenu.nativeElement, 'mouseenter').pipe(
     mapTo(true));

     let mouseLeave$ = fromEvent(sizeMenu.nativeElement, 'mouseleave').pipe(
     mapTo(false));

     this.mouseEvents$ = mouseLeave$.pipe(merge(mouseEnter$), debounceTime(this.DebounceTime), distinctUntilChanged());
  };

A: You can create a directive which you can add to your input then. In this example I debounce click event, but you can easily accomodate it to any other event.
import { Directive, EventEmitter, HostListener, Input, OnDestroy, OnInit, Output } from '@angular/core';
import { Subject, Subscription } from 'rxjs';
import { debounceTime } from 'rxjs/operators';

@Directive({
    selector: '[debounceClick]'
})

export class DebounceClickDirective implements OnInit, OnDestroy {

    @Input()
    public debounceClickTime = 500;

    @Output()
    public debounceClick = new EventEmitter();

    private clicks = new Subject();
    private subscription: Subscription;

    constructor() { }

    public ngOnInit() {
        this.subscription = this.clicks.pipe(debounceTime(this.debounceClickTime)).subscribe((e: Event) =>
            this.debounceClick.emit(e));
    }

    public ngOnDestroy() {
        this.subscription.unsubscribe();
    }

    @HostListener('click', ['$event'])
    public clickEvent(event: Event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        event.stopPropagation();

        this.clicks.next(event);
    }

}

And use it in your HTML in a following way:
<input type="text" (debounceClick)="yourMethod()" debounceClickTime="1000" />

debounceClickTime is optional and if you do not use it, it debounces by default in 500ms.

Two Leading Indonesians Clash Over Suharto's Continuing Role
Richard BorsukStaff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
Updated May 19, 1998 12:01 am ET
JAKARTA, Indonesia -- The stage is set for a sharp new political confrontation in Indonesia.
Four hours after Harmoko, the speaker of Indonesia's pliant Parliament, said that body wants President Suharto to step down, the commander of Indonesia's powerful armed forces pledged continued military support for the 76-year-old leader. Gen. Wiranto, a former Suharto adjutant, said the military supports reform and a planned cabinet shuffle, but made clear that Mr. Suharto should remain in power.

Q: SQL - Union two tables and insert into third one if not exists I have three tables with same number of columns.
First Table Offload
Second Table Offload_Temp
Final Table Merge_Test
The data is periodically inserted into Offload_Temp (All the rows are deleted before inserting the new data)
delete from Offload_Temp

What I am trying to achieve is... Union/Merge Offload and Offload_Temp and insert into Merge_Test
The Merge_Test is already going to contain some data on it. I would like to avoid duplication.
The following is my query:
INSERT INTO Merge_Test SELECT * FROM Offload UNION SELECT * FROM Offload_Temp EXCEPT (SELECT * FROM Merge_Test)

Every time Offload_Temp is inserted with new data (It may contain same data) and the above query creates duplicates in Merge_Test
This process is repeated periodically.
How can the duplication in Merge_Test be avoided?

A: you can try this.
INSERT INTO Merge_Test
 select * from (
  SELECT
    *
  FROM Offload
  UNION
  SELECT
    *
  FROM Offload_Temp

  ) x
  except
  SELECT
    *
  FROM Merge_Test

if offload and offload_temp can have the same data then try the query below. In saying that, UNION should give you distinct results. may be better to display your data for all tables.
INSERT INTO Merge_Test
     select * from (
      SELECT
        *
      FROM Offload
      except
      SELECT
        *
      FROM Offload_Temp

      ) x
      except
      SELECT
        *
      FROM Merge_Test

Indie video games offer alternative to pass the summer
Nom Nom Galaxy - photo by Jeff Peterson
For movies, the summer months mark the biggest season of the year. Ticket sales from May through August typically account for roughly 50 percent of the annual box office, and the vast majority of the releases carry a rating of PG-13 or below and are aimed at broad audiences as studios try to cash in on summer break.
The same, however, isnt true of video games. Last months release of "Splatoon" for the Wii U made it one of only a handful of titles aimed at all age groups that are getting a major console release this summer.
Earlier this month, families also received LEGO Jurassic World, and slightly older gamers got the first expansion for Final Fantasy XIV, titled Heavensward, earlier this week.
Beyond those games, though, options are pretty sparse when it comes to family oriented releases from the major developers.
But that might actually be OK because some of the best games being made now arent the triple-A titles published by companies such as Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo, but those by their smaller, humbler cousins sometimes by as few as two or three people with a passion for innovative design and smart gaming. A lot of those titles, while not made for kids per se, also happen to be family friendly.
There are also other reasons to watch for indie games these days.
For one thing, they tend to offer a lot of bang for your buck. Unlike triple-A titles, which generally run at around $60 at release, indie games even ones that look comparable to triple-A titles usually cost only a fraction of that, sometimes $15 or less.
On top of that, with mainstream video games following the same trajectory as Hollywood in terms of leaning on franchises and sequels in order to minimize risk, indie games are becoming more and more a final bastion of unrestricted creativity. Games such as The Unfinished Swan or Proteus, for example, challenge the basic ideas of what a game is.
Because of this, indie games offer more varied gameplay experiences. From retro 8-bit platformers to RPGs to games that can hardly even be classified, they do it all.
With that in mind, heres a sampling of some of the recent or soon-to-be-released indie titles that gamers, especially ones looking for more family friendly content, might want to keep an eye on:
Nom Nom Galaxy (PS4) Blending elements from multiple genres, including platformers, tower defense and resource management games, Nom Nom Galaxy is a co-op game about building interstellar soup factories. Release date: May 12.
Dont Starve: The Giant Edition (Wii U, PS4) This wilderness survival game sees a gentleman scientist named Wilson trying to find his way back home through an Edward Gorey-esque world of hostile creatures. Release date: May 28. (The PS4 version of this game lacks some of the bonus content.)
The Escapists (PS4, Xbox One) This top-down, puzzle RPG challenges players to escape from increasingly difficult prisons. Release date: June 2.
To Leave (PS4) In this quirky 2-D platformer from Ecuadors Freaky Creations, players control a boy who must navigate a strange dreamland while holding on to a flying door. If he touches anything, hes thrown back into the real world. Release date: June 30.
Everybodys Gone to the Rapture (PS4) Set in Shropshire, England, Everybodys Gone to the Rapture is a first-person adventure game where the player is a scientist trapped in the very moment of the apocalypse. Release date: Aug. 11.
Mighty No. 9 (All platforms) Produced by Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune, Mighty No. 9 is an action-platformer starring a very Mega Man-esque android named Beck. Mighty No. 9 was originally funded through Kickstarter. Release date: Sep. 15.
Inside (Xbox One, PS4) The next game from the developers behind the award-winning platformer Limbo looks just as moody and atmospheric as its predecessor. Release date: Summer 2015.

Mary Lowenthal Felstiner (hebräisch פלסטינר, מרי, geb. 19. Februar 1941 in Pittsburgh) ist eine amerikanische Historikerin. Ihre Studie To Paint her Life über die deutsche Malerin und Dichterin Charlotte Salomon, die als Jüdin in Auschwitz ermordet wurde, gilt als Grundlagenwerk.

Leben und Werk
Mary Lowenthal Felstiner studierte Geschichte in Harvard, an der Columbia University und in Stanford, wo sie 1971 mit der Dissertation The Larrain family in the independence of Chile 1780–1830 promoviert wurde. Nach Stationen als Gastprofessorin in Paris, Santa Cruz, Yale und Stanford lehrte sie ab 1981 bis zu ihrer Emeritierung als Professorin Geschichte an der San Francisco State University.

Ihr Hauptinteresse galt der deutschen Malerin und Dichterin Charlotte Salomon, über die sie 15 Jahre lang forschte. Sie schrieb vier Essays über Salomons gemalte Lebensgeschichte Leben? Oder Theater?, bevor sie 1994 das biografische Werk To Paint Her Life. Charlotte Salomon in the Nazi Era veröffentlichte, für das sie mit dem Women's Heritage Museum First Annual Book Award und dem Joan Kelly Memorial Prize für Frauengeschichte der American Historical Association ausgezeichnet wurde. Felstiner liest des Leben von Charlotte Salomon als "personifizierte Geschichte" der Zerstörung deutsch-jüdischer Familien während des Holocaust.

2005 veröffentlichte sie mit Out of Joint eine Geschichte der Arthritis, die zugleich eine Geschichte ihrer Familie und ihrer eigenen Erfahrungen mit diesem chronischen Gesundheitsproblem und seiner Heilung ist.

Sie ist mit dem amerikanischen Literaturkritiker und Professor für Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaften John Felstiner verheiratet. Nach ihrer Emeritierung gaben John und Mary Felstiner gemeinsam Kurse an der Stanford University zum Thema 'kreativer Widerstand' von Juden im Holocaust.

We in the West are doers. We are predisposed culturally to always be doing. We are raised to not have idle hands – the work of the devil. It is an unbelievable curse, for there is so much to be gained in simply being.
I am probably more content than most to just be. Seven summers spent canoeing the Maine wilderness gave me so many opportunities to be. Sitting, watching the sunset or moon rise at the end of a day, getting in a rhythm of paddling across a broad lake, where I was doing but also just being, hours in front of a mesmerizing campfire led me to appreciate and relish doing nothing, to feeling the contentment that comes from just being. No doubt, my mind was whirling most of the time. But I do believe there were plenty of moments where it was quiet.
I think my meditating is helping me just be more often. At times while meditating I glimpse infinity and eternity. And when I make a conscious effort while not meditating to just be I again get those moments of experiencing the infinite. It is quite beautiful and something I am increasingly grateful for.

♥ The World Health Organization has announced worksite wellness as one of the priority settings for health and wellness promotion in the 21st century.
♥ Health care costs and expenditures are on the rise putting the workforce at jeopardy and the companies they work for.
♥ Chronic diseases such as heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, strokes, and more than 40% of cancers would be prevented if people ate healthier, exercised, and stop using tobacco according to Making Health Care More Affordable:Estimated Savings from Care Coordination, Lifestyle Change, and System Redesignin Senator Obama's Health Care Plan.
♥ Approximately 75% of all the money spent on health care is potentially preventable as reported by Amanda McGrory in the article 90% of Employers are Offering Wellness Program for BenefitsPro.
Wellness works for all types of employers whether the company is large or small.
In the past, the focus of wellness programs has been on managing "sick" employees. After all we all know being sick costs money. So if you could make the sickness go away then less money would be spent on health care right?
Here's the big idea, "manage the disease" of those employees who are already sick and then hope that they will become healthy again. This type of thinking suggests once the sick became healthy, the company would realize their return on investment (ROI). This seems like a logical solution. However, history has demonstrated this may be logical but is a bad idea.
Here's what happens. The people who are already sick stayed sick, the healthy people became sick and the company would not realize their ROI for three so years down the road, if ever.
To save money on health care costs the focus needs to be on keeping every employee healthy. That way the sick get better and the healthy stay healthy.

Going to and from the airports
Flights from Sydney
The harbour city of Sydney is Australia's largest and oldest cosmopolitan city. It's also home to the longest continuously operated commercial airport in the world–Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport. This airport serves as the country's primary international gateway and links the city to several international, domestic and regional destinations, meaning it handles flights from Sydney to Brisbane as well.
The airport has won several awards and was most recently recognised as one of the Top Ten International Airports in 2016 by Condé Nast Traveller. It houses three passenger terminals. Terminal 1 is the international terminal, while terminals 2 and 3 are for domestic flights.
Directions to Sydney airport
Sydney's main airport is located roughly 8 km from its central business district. There are several transport options to choose from to get you from your starting point in the city to the airport. Shuttles, taxis and even limousines provide door-to-door transfers. Local buses run on a timetabled service, and to reach the arrivals level of the domestic terminals, you can take Route 400.
Underneath Sydney Airport there are Airport Link rail lines that are part of the city's suburban network. These are located below the international terminal and under the car park between terminals 2 and 3.
Reaching Brisbane
Though popularly regarded as the gateway to Queensland, Brisbane has plenty to offer visitors staying in the city. In its cultural precinct is the most visited art gallery in Australia, the Gallery of Modern Art, alongside the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, the Queensland Museum and Sciencentre. There are several dining districts to explore from Fortitude Valley to South Bank. Moreton Bay bugs (not actual bugs but slipper lobsters) are one of Brisbane's signature dishes. South Bank is also a fantastic place to get great views of the city and find plenty of things to do for free. You can even visit koalas, kangaroos and other Australian wildlife at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
Getting to the city center
Flights from Sydney to Brisbane land in Brisbane Airport, which serves as the main airport for the city and Southeast Queensland. Getting to hotels in the central business district can be done comfortably by booking a Con-X-ion airport transfer. For public transportation, you can take the T-Bus (free of charge) to Skygate, then transfer to Translink bus 590. This will take you to the Toombul Shopping Centre. From here you can take a train to the city. Airtrain also provides links to South Bank, and stops at all stations in between there and Brisbane Airport, including Eagle Junction, Brisbane Central, Fortitude Valley and Roma Street.
