Q: Arrival times, joint density Let $N(t)$ be a non-homogeneous Poisson process with rate function $\lambda(r),r\geq 0$. I have to find joint density function of arrival times $T_1$ and $T_2-T_1$ and to show that they are dependent. This is not a homework. Firstly I tried to calculate joint cdf and got $P(T_1\leq x,T_2-T_1\leq y)=$ $(1-e^{-\int^x_0 \lambda(r)dr})(1-e^{-\int^{x+y}_x \lambda(r)dr})$, I am not sure whether this is correct. Then I tried to find separate probabilities, $P(T_1\leq x)=P(N(x)>1)=$ $1-e^{-\int^x_0 \lambda(r)dr}$ and $P(T_2\leq y+T_1)=P(N(y+T_1)>2)=$ $1-e^{\int^{y+T_1}_0 \lambda(r)}$, the latter does not seem very "legal" so another idea was $P(T_2\leq y+T_1)=\int_0^{\infty} P(N(y+T_1)>2|T_1=s)P(N(s)=1)ds$. This question seems similar, but unfortunately did not really help me. Is my solution correct? The main problem is $T_2-T_1$ since it is non-homogeneous process, I am not sure how to deal with it.

A: The answer is already on the other page, basically, but here we go.
For every $t\geqslant0$, let $\Lambda(t)=\int\limits_0^t\lambda(s)\mathrm ds$, hence $\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\Lambda(t)=\lambda(t)$.

*

*The probability of the event $[T_1\geqslant t]$ that there is no arrival in $(0,t)$ is $\mathrm e^{-\Lambda(t)}$. Hence the density $f_1$ of the distribution of $T_1$ is minus the derivative of this, that is, $f_1(t)=\lambda(t)\mathrm e^{-\Lambda(t)}$.

*Conditionally on $[T_1=t]$, the probability of the event $[T_2-T_1\geqslant s]$  that there is no arrival in $(t,t+s)$ is $\mathrm e^{\Lambda(t)-\Lambda(t+s)}$. Hence the conditional density $f_2(\ \mid t)$ of the distribution of $T_2-T_1$ is minus the derivative of this, that is, $f_2(s\mid t)=\lambda(t+s)\mathrm e^{\Lambda(t)-\Lambda(t+s)}$.

Putting everything together, one sees that the joint density $f$ of $(T_1,T_2-T_1)$ is given by, for every nonnegative $t$ and $s$,
$$
f(t,s)=f_1(t)f_2(s\mid t)=\lambda(t)\lambda(t+s)\mathrm e^{-\Lambda(t+s)}.
$$
Sanity check: In the homogenous case, $\lambda(t)=\lambda$ for every $t$ hence $\Lambda(t)=\lambda t$, $f_1(t)=\lambda\mathrm e^{-\lambda t}$ and $f(t,s)=\lambda^2\mathrm e^{-\lambda(t+s)}=f_1(t)f_1(s)$. Thus $T_1$ and $T_2-T_1$ are independent and exponentially distributed with parameter $\lambda$, as they should be.

Preventable birth injuries can create lifelong complications and disabilities for the child. Their families also must provide expensive support systems. Our Tennessee birth injury lawyers help these families get the support they need through medical malpractice lawsuits.
Lawyers focusing on Tennessee birth injury malpractice.
To find out more about how you can protect your child's future, contact us today for a free consultation.
Building a successful birth injury suit in Tennessee is a complex process. Our local lawyers have decades of experience in these cases and can help your family get the financial support you deserve.
"Caring Attorneys." Laurence was professional and kind.
Birth Injury Advocate Reviewed by E. Posey on Sep. 12th .
Birth injuries used to be a fairly common occurrence in the United States. In many cases, childbirth could even be fatal for both the child and the mother.
Birth injuries have become less common as medical technology has advanced, but they still occur every day. Approximately 7 in every 1,000 live births in the United States involves an injury to the infant. This means that in Tennessee in 2015, roughly 572 newborns suffered birth injuries.
When families hear news of a birth injury, it's common for them to wonder how the injury happened and if it could have been prevented. Many of these injuries only occur because of negligent medical care. In these cases, families may have the option to file a birth injury malpractice lawsuit.
How Can Medical Negligence Cause A Birth Injury?
It's extremely important for nurses, doctors, and obstetricians to consistently follow the accepted methods of their field during each aspect of pregnancy, labor, and childbirth.
Even a temporary lapse in judgment has the potential to cause a devastating birth injury. Over 99 percent of the time, these professionals do their jobs well. But sometimes, medical errors cause avoidable birth injuries.
If you believe your child's injury may have been caused by medical negligence, you'll need to have the evidence of your case reviewed by both an experienced Tennessee birth injury malpractice lawyer and a qualified medical expert.
Ongoing medical treatment, including doctors appointments, surgeries, medication, etc.
The related expenses of raising a child with a birth injury are beyond the budget of most Tennessee families. This is why we suggest exploring your legal options as soon as you can. If your child's injury only occurred from medical negligence, a birth injury malpractice lawsuit can provide the financial support your family needs.
Families who are considering a birth injury lawsuit are often curious about how their state's medical malpractice laws may apply to their case. We've summarized some of Tennessee's medical malpractice laws below, but you'll need to speak with an experienced birth injury malpractice lawyer in order to understand how they might influence your family's case.
In each state, there is a law known as the statute of limitations, which sets a deadline for filing a lawsuit. Determining the statute of limitations for a birth injury case can be difficult and depends on unique circumstances of your case. This law is one of many reasons why it's best to take legal action as soon as possible following a birth injury. Our Tennessee birth injury malpractice lawyers can help you better understand how the statute of limitations applies to your case.
Tennessee limits the amount of financial compensation you can recover in a medical malpractice lawsuit. This limit only applies to noneconomic damages (like pain and suffering) and is set at $750,000. However, there are exceptions for "catastrophic injuries", which have a maximum cap of $1,000,000.
In Tennessee medical malpractice cases, the plaintiff's lawyer must file a document called an affidavit of merit within 90 days of filing a medical liability claim. This affidavit must contain a statement that the lawyer consulted with one or more medical experts and that there is a "good-faith" basis to believe that medical negligence contributed to the injury.
Expert witnesses must be licensed to practice medicine in Tennessee, specialize in a field that is relevant to the case, and must have practiced in that field during the year before the injuries occurred. The court has the option to waive these requirements if no such expert can be found.
How Can A Lawyer Help After A Birth Injury?
Filing a successful medical malpractice claim is much more difficult than it is for other personal injury claims. It's important to find a reliable birth injury lawyer with experience in Tennessee birth injury malpractice cases.
Our lawyers understand how to meet the requirements of state laws, how to provide sufficient evidence and medical testimony, and how to win court victories and settlements. We're proud to help families of birth injury victims in Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and throughout the rest of Tennessee.
We understand the uncertainty, frustration, and anger you may be feeling after your child's injury. We're prepared to help you better understand your legal options in a free consultation, and will only require payment if and when we help you secure financial compensation. Get in touch with us today to begin fighting for the financial support your family needs after a preventable birth injury.

Lucy (2014)
Action | Sci-Fi | Thriller
Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Choi Min-sik Amr Waked, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Pilou Asbaek, Analeigh Tipton, Nicolas Phongpheth
Accidentally caught in a dark deal, Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) turns the tables on her captors as she undergoes unimaginable changes that unlock her mind's full potential.
The average person uses 10% of their brain capacity. I wonder how much was Luc Besson using when he made this film since he had all the elements to make a great film yet "Lucy" ended up being a horrible film.
The story, even though it's not original - seriously people, stop saying that, it's basically a rip-off of "Limitless" -, could have been interesting if properly developed. And of course that didn't happen. What happened is a weak and utterly ridiculous plot that sees Scarlett Johansson taking a drug that enhances her brain functions, just like Bradley Cooper did, but instead of using it to make money, she uses it to make things float, to stop time and to get people killed for no reason, all in the process to put the entire knowledge of humanity into a USB drive. I won't even try to point out how stupid that is. Okay, I just did.
The other little problem with "Lucy" is the impossibility to identify its genre. Usually sci-fi films blend science and fiction, that's why they are called so. But this is not the case. This film just blends fiction with other fiction starting from its tagline since the whole 10% thing has been proven wrong a while ago.
Maybe it's just an action film. After all the film has plenty of action. There's so much action, it feels like watching the same scene over and over again. Oh, wait, that's because the action sequences all look the same. And they also lack excitement, and sometimes it's even hard to understand what is going on. Honestly, I would have never expected something like this from Luc Besson.
It also seems pointless to me to spend a lot of time talking about the performances. Rather I'd like to talk about the reason why Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman agreed to work on this. I have a theory about it, it's not scientific, just fiction. So here's the theory, they were high. There is no other explanation. And by the way, Johansson's performance is hilariously bad, and Freeman just doesn't have anything to work with.

Owning a personal submarine may seem extravagant, but Dutch submersible manufacturer U-Boat Worx would disagree. Since 2005, their company mission has been to widen the availability of undersea exploration, without sacrificing product quality.
U-Boat makes several different consumer models, including the C-Explorer, the HP Sport Sub 2, the C-Researcher 3, the Super Yacht Sub 3, and the Cruise Sub. In all cases, their submersibles are outfitted with the most advanced propulsion systems, temperature and atmospheric control systems, and safety features available, as well as top-of-the-line communication, life support, and lithium-ion battery technology. Each submersible is designed for functionality, thoroughly tested, and monitored by a dedicated support staff of engineers and technicians.
So how does U-Boat offer all that without making their products virtually unaffordable? The answer, in a word, is craftsmanship. U-Boat builds in small batches to reduce both costs and production time. These lowered production costs enable them to offer competitive prices, and their small-batch production cycles allow them to give each submersible the time and attention it deserves.
Whether you want to use a U-Boat Worx sub for research, yachting, tourism, or even just for fun, one of their models will suit your needs. Visit their website for a list of current U-Boat Worx dealerships, and scroll down to watch a video of the Super Yacht 3 in action.

This week rolls out a bit slowly. Consider it a Thanksgiving Weekend hangover.
It is really only on Wednesday when a couple shows appear on my radar. Over at the Mint, Lawence Arabia (aka New Zealander James Milne) will perform his trad-but-not-trad soft pop/rock music, while Rah Rah (not to be confused with Ra Ra Riot) plays at the Bootleg. This Saskatchewan ensemble serves up an eclectic sound in the tradition of other Canadian collective like Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire.
Thursday also features another Canadian act – Whitehorse at the Hotel Cafe. This duo is composed of the husband/wife pair: Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland. I have enjoyed Doucet's prior efforts and this collaboration makes for beguiling avant-rootsy music that makes me curious to hear them live. Kate Earl, who has an impressive new album, also is playing there that night. The other hot show for Thursday finds Charles Bradley and Menahan Street Band at Royce Hall. Bradley is among those recently rediscovered R&B singers whose music holds an honest, hard-earned gritty soulfulness. MSB comes for the Brooklyn Dap-Kings scene and these guys know how to find a groove and ride it. Also worth noting is that Alice Cooper has a show at the Orpheum Theatre. While no longer rock's shock king, old Alice is always good for an entertaining show.
Charles Bradley
There are several choices for where to head on Friday night. Eccentric percussionist Mike Dillon brings his band to the Mint. Kasey Anderson brings his raucous roots-rock to the Hotel Café where the radiant Star Anna plays some of her heartachin' twangy tunes. Veteran Florida rocker Jerry Riopelle has a show at McCabe's while Walk Off The Earth heads to the Troubadour.
December starts off with a strong selection of shows. The Punch Brothers, fronted by newly named MacArthur Genius Grant winner Chris Thile, come to the Luckman Fine Arts Complex on the 1st. Opening for them is the fabulous folk-pop duo The Milk Carton Kids, who have just signed with Anti . World Party's Karl Wallinger makes a rare local appearance at the Troubadour, which should be a real treat of a show. The stylish chanteuse Sylvie Lewis has a set at the Hotel Cafe on Saturday night. Her latest, It's All True, is a lovely blend of European and American music.
The Mint hosts a night of artful, introspective music on Saturday night, when Gabriel Kahane performs (accompanied by Rob Moose from Bon Iver) along with Elizabeth & The Catapult, while the alluring Trixie Whitley (vocalist for Daniel Lanois' Black Dub) brings her powerhouse voice to the Satellite. Meanwhile, Chicago Soul Legends, including Thee Midniters, Little Willie G, Malo, Tierra, Big Jay McNeely, will gather for a show at the Gibson Amphitheatre.
Trixie Whitley
Sunday's highlight show is Jim Lauderdale at McCabe's. Mr. Americana has two collaborations: a bluegrass effort with Robert Hunter) and a country/rock album done with old pal Buddy Miller. Lauderdale returns to LA in about 10 days for a screening of his documentary at the Grammy Museum.

Dash, the top digital currency for payments and e-commerce, has announced a partnership with CoinFlip, one of the nation's premier cryptocurrency ATMs which operates 80+ machines in the United States, bringing its global total to just over 418 machines. Based in Illinois, CoinFlip offers the most coins globally of any cryptocurrency ATM at one the lowest rates, and will now integrate Dash and its InstandSend technology into all of its machines.
The new integration significantly expands Dash ATM access in the U.S. with all CoinFlip ATMs providing Dash-buy functionality while select locations will offer two-way buy/sell functionality. In addition to the integration, Dash and CoinFlip will host a lottery to celebrate the partnership, with one selected participant receiving a $1000 cash prize, and ten additional participants receiving $100 cash prizes. Participants are automatically entered into the lottery by creating and maintaining a CoinFlip account, and can submit additional entries by making a Dash transaction using a CoinFlip ATM. The lottery will occur monthly, and will run for three months in a row. In addition, for a limited time, all CoinFlip transaction fees will be waived for Dash purchases.
CoinFlip offers its services in 80+ locations across the United States — including locations in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Nevada, Colorado, and California. In addition to Dash (DASH), users can use CoinFlip's ATMs to buy Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Tron (TRX), and OmiseGO (OMG). As an added bonus, CoinFlip ATMs currently boast the cheapest cryptocurrency ATM fees globally at 6.9% over spot price for cryptocurrency purchases and 3.5% under spot price for cryptocurrency sales, and will even be waiving fees for all Dash purchases for a limited time. They also offer 24-hour customer support, and allow interested individuals to operate their own CoinFlip ATMs.
After the CoinFlip ATM integration, Dash will now be available to buy and/or sell at 175+ ATMs within the U.S., making it widely accessible for today's users. This comes prior to the H2 2018 release of Dash's latest project, Dash Evolution, which will allow millions of people across the globe to carry out instant, secure, and near fee-free transactions through a decentralized PayPal or Venmo-like platform.
For more information on Dash, visit dash.org. For more information on CoinFlip ATM, visit coinflip.tech.
Dash is the leading e-commerce and payments-focused digital currency, and the rising alternative to bitcoin. With over 1000% year over year growth in both value and trading volume since 2015, Dash has been consistently ranked in the top fifteen digital currencies by market capitalization and only one of the few offering safe, decentralized financial solutions to real world problems. Dash offers a form of money that is portable, inexpensive, divisible, and fast. It can be spent easily and instantly online at merchants across the globe, at much lower fees than credit and debit cards. With over 60 members on the team and a unique blockchain mining and treasury model, Dash is the only major self-funded, self-governed organization in the cryptocurrency industry. This allows for constant development and funding for the entire project.
CoinFlip turns purchasing cryptocurrencies into an easy and straightforward process. What we do is simple; we deploy cryptocurrency ATMs, facilitate bank transfers, and process debit/credit cards for consumers who wish to trade their cash and cryptocurrency.
The Skokie, Illinois-based company was officially incorporated in December 2015. Currently, the firm operates 80+ ATMs, with locations in Chicago, greater Illinois, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Nashville, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, Houston, Austin, Cleveland, Denver, and Indiana.


Education employees are in the highest-paid sector in the country according to The National Employment Survey, released earlier this month.
The National Employment Survey for 2008 and 2009 found that those working in education earn an average hourly rate of €34.55. This is approximately 56% higher than the national average.
According to the survey carried out by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), 20% of education employees earned €50 or more per hour.
Chief economist with the Irish Business and Employers' Confederation (IBEC), Fergal O'Brien, said that although the gap between the public and private sector remained, it had narrowed since the survey was carried out.
"There's a significant pay-gap between the public and the private sector, close to about 50%, but the pensions levy is not included in these numbers and also public sector workers experienced a further pay cut of about 7.5% from January 2010, so that pay gap has narrowed significantly since then," he said.
A spokesperson on behalf of the Department of Education warned that the findings of the report were based on 2008 figures and they do not reflect the earnings of education employees today.
The survey also found that the pay gap between men and women has increased. Female employees are now being paid almost 13% less than their male counterparts. While the gender gap had dropped to a record low of 10.7% in October 2007, this figure increased marginally over the following two years. The figures show that the average hourly rate for male workers in October 2009 was €23.63 while for women it was €20.61.

Time with a wartime survivour
By nickyeo / February 17, 2015 / Memories of Singapore, Social history from the coffeeshop / One comment
It's hard to believe, but within the better part of the next two decades, there will be next to no survivours of the Japanese Occupation, and with it, their personal stories that history textbooks would never tell you about.
Thankfully, I managed to have a short chat with Mrs Helen Joseph, 85, who was all of just 12-years of age when the Japanese Occupation began. During this period, Helen stayed with her uncle and relatives in Government Quarters along Rowell Road in Little India.
Helen Joseph, 85, was only 12-years old when the Japanese invaded Singapore.
Trips to the air raid shelters were common for Helen, as was the fear amongst residents whenever the Japanese soldiers came over for inspections.
"We had to stand at attention and couldn't look them in the eye. I once recalled seeing a lady being dragged out, have a pipe shoved into her mouth and water forced into her belly. The soldiers would then use a wooden plank and jump on it forcing the water out. It was horrible. "
Yet even during times of hardship, Helen remembers the true communal spirit with many of her neighbours.
"It didn't matter if you were Chinese, Indian, Malay or Eurasian like me, everyone helped one another because we needed to."
Being Eurasian, Helen also recalls some of her more fair-skinned relatives and friends being picked for screening by the Japanese who thought they were assisting the Chinese forces, thankfully she says, all of them returned.
Like many children her age, Helen did not go to school during the period of the Japanese Occupation. Food was also a rarity, with most people depending on yams and tapioca as their main source of energy. For Helen, her relatives even ingeniously used shredded tapioca skins to make a delightful treat of mee siam!
Helen Joseph together with four other wartime survivours were at the launch of the exhibition Battle of Singapore – Case Files from the Singapore War Crimes Tribunal.
As much as we commemorate the fall of Singapore, through nationalised activities, monuments or memorial services, the day when the last survivor of this tumultuous period passes will indeed change the way we remember and understand just what happened in the darkest hours of Singapore's history.
I spoke with Helen at the launch of the exhibition Battle for Singapore – Case Files from the Singapore War Crimes Tribunal that is on display at the National Museum of Singapore from now till 5 Apr. Admission is free.

Little actions as these go a very long way in helping future generations understand the horrors of war. Where has the exhibition moved to?

Black Veil Brides' Andy Biersack is finally living out his Batman dream. The Dark Knight enthusiast is now the voice of the superhero in the new comic Dark Nights: Death Metal.
Along with Biersack, Rise Against are teasing a new single for the comic's soundtrack.

As most fans know, Biersack is a massive Batman fan. Now, the BVB frontman is living out one of his dreams. He is now the voice of the DC superhero in the new comic Dark Nights: Death Metal. Created by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, the comic is a follow up to the widely successful 2017 Dark Nights: Metal.

The song is set to arrive on Sept. 16 via Loma Vista and the full Dark Nights: Death Metal soundtrack and band lineup are also on the way.
"Personally, being involved with this soundtrack is really fantastic," Tim Mcilrath shares. "Growing up, my little brother and I would ride our bikes to the newsstand near our house and spend all our money on the latest comic books, and Batman was a favorite."
Mcilrath also reveals that guitarist Zach Blair is a massive comic books fan.
"Also, Zach, our guitarist, is probably the biggest comic book geek in our band," he continues. "He's talked about how, along with his brother and father, they were all big DC fans – Batman, Robin, Superman, Aquaman, all the comic book series, the TV shows, and feature films. So, yes, we're all very excited about being part of this."

Tyler Bates is the executive producer and composer for Dark Nights: Death Metal. He reveals that this project helps bring music and comic books together.
"In Dark Nights: Death Metal, Loma Vista Recordings and I saw an opportunity to bring artists together to create a diverse soundtrack that is inspired directly by this incredible comic series," Bates says. "Our intent is not to literally create a death metal soundtrack, but instead, to illuminate the darkest corners of each character's psyche from an authentic perspective that is thematically inherent in death metal music."
Bates also shares that a short animated film series has been created for Dark Nights: Death Metal. As well, the project's soundtrack includes a diverse group of musicians and "pop-culture personalities" who help bring the comic to life.
"I'm creating a short-form animatic film series derived from Greg Capullo's original artwork for Dark Nights: Death Metal," he continues. "I've invited artists on the soundtrack, and pop-culture personalities alike, to voice the characters illustrated in Scott and Greg's masterful take on classic DC characters. This has possibly never been more relevant to real life than the challenging time the world is currently experiencing."
Episode one of Dark Nights: Death Metal is available to watch below. The video includes Biersack as the voice of Batman and a clip of Rise Against's "Broken Dreams, Inc."

In this wine tourism tour around Lisbon, with wine tasting and winery visit, we´ll go inside Mafra Palace and Convent (1) (38 kms north of Lisbon), emblematic work of the Portuguese Baroque, built by absolutist King John V in 1713. It´s considered one of Portugal Seven Wonders. Then, we visit the José Franco Typical Village (2), recreation of an old village, work of great ethnographic value. Finally, we visit a charming farm were it´s produced the famous Bucelas dry white wine (3), made from the Arinto variety, exported to the court of England since the XVI th century. Besides walk around the vineyard while enjoying a magnificent landscape, we go to the modern winery. Then learn about the manufacturing process and taste various wines (4) with Portuguese delicacies.
1. At Mafra we visite: the Basilica, the only in the world with six pipe organs and two historical carillons of 98 bells, the most important collection of Italian Baroque sculpture outside Italy; several halls and rooms of the Palace, including the rooms of the king and queen, a painting collection of great Italian and Portuguese masters; the Hospital of the convent, with its pharmacy and surgical instruments of the time; and the Library, with 36 000 ancient books from centuries XV-XIX, some of them rares. Designed by German architect Ludwig Francis (Ludovice), the entire building is a luxury, only possible with the gold from Brazil. Built between 1717 and 1730, 52 000 men worked there, in only one year, and were applied materials from the region and exotic woods from Brazil. The story of its construction inspired the Portuguese writer and Nobel Prize for Literature José Saramago when he wrote "Baltasar and Blimunda". The palace was stripped of its values in 1807, when the royal family left for Brazil due to the French invasion, carrying the finest furnishings and artwork. It was later occupied by the French and British troops during the Peninsular War. The other Portuguese kings use it as an hunting lodge. In turn, after the dissolution of the religious orders in 1834, the Convent was delivered to the Army and is now a military school.
2. José Franco Typical Village was built in 1945, in the town of Sobreiro, around Mafra. It´s an artistic creation of José Franco, master sculptor and potter. The intent of this popular artist was recreate an old village-sized, like a living museum, where to show the typical occupations of the countryside. In this place we can see how was the house of the farmer, the cellar, the chapel, the barber shop, the grocery store, the school, and the mill, etc. In the same space there is also a miniature replica of a village, as well as the famous sculptures in clay of master Franco. A visit that delights children but also adults.
3. We finished at Quinta da Murta, in Bucelas (25 kms north of Lisbon), a demarcated region by law since 1911, known for producing the most famous dry white wine from Portugal: the Bucelas Arinto. Also known as "charneco" and "Lisbon Hock". This is a wine classified as VQPRD (Quality Wine Produced in a Demarcated Region). It was cultivated by the Romans for more than 2000 years and was very popular at the English court of Elizabeth I, having been mentioned in Shakespeare's work "Henry VI" (1554). It was later taken to the English court by the Duke of Wellington, in the XIXth century, during the Napoleonic invasions in Portugal. The Prince Regent George III loved this wine, considering until it had medicinal powers. It was also mandatory presence in the cellar of US President Thomas Jefersson in 1800.
4. After visiting the charming vineyard and the winery, we will taste some wines, with traditional Portuguese sausages. In addition to the classic white wine, Quinta da Murta produces white and red sparkling wines. As for the terroir, the vineyard is planted in a valley, 250 meters high, with good sun exposure all year. The soil is limestone and rich in marine fossils, which contributes to the fresh and mineral taste of this wine. The Bucelas Arinto has overall citrus color, intense but discreet flavor of citrus, apple and tropical fruits with elegant and persistent texture. Preferably should be drink while young.
Proper clothing to the season; comfortable shoes; during the summer should bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat.
Price per person. Minimum 2 persons. Drop in/ drop off; van with air conditioning; entry to the palace; wine tasting with snack of Portuguese products; bottle of water; driver/guide in English, French and Portuguese.

Q: Bootstrap tooltips defy me I am following the documentation as closely as I can, but I can't get the tooltips working. What am I doing wrong?
I've tried a lot of things. Here is some of what I've tried in a sample file.
http://anunexpectacle.com/micros/
I'm pretty desperate now. Please sort me out.

A: It looks like your selector is wrong.  When I used this, the tooltips appeared:
$("[rel=tooltip]").tooltip();

Note that $("tooltip") looks for HTML tags like <tooltip>something</tooltip>, but in this case (I guess) you mean to target the links, which have the attribute rel=tooltip.

Home » People » Faculty A-Z Listing » Joe Cleary
Joe Cleary
Ph.D. Columbia University, 1997
I teach and research mainly in the areas of Irish, postcolonial and modernist literatures. My work engages with several overlapping concerns: the development of a left-wing analysis of modern Irish literature and society, the analysis of long-range histories of modernization, modernism and capitalist culture, and situating Irish cultural and literary history in international postcolonial and world-systems perspectives. These interests were shaped by my time at Columbia University, New York, where I studied with Edward W. Said and took my doctorate in English and Comparative Literature, and my career in Ireland where I worked at Maynooth University for over twenty years. I have written on nationalism, national literatures, and partition in Literature, Partition and the Nation-State: Culture and Conflict in Ireland, Israel and Palestine (2002) and on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary, cinematic, and music cultures in Outrageous Fortune: Capital and Culture in Modern Ireland (2007). Related edited volumes include The Cambridge Companion to Irish Modernism (2014) and (with Claire Connolly) The Cambridge Companion to Modern Irish Culture (2005). I have edited three special journal issues: on Ireland's financial crisis in 'Ireland after the Celtic Tiger: From Boom to Bust' with boundary 2 (Spring 2018); on 'Peripheral Realisms' (with Jed Esty and Colleen Lye) in MLQ (September 2012); and on 'Empire Studies' (with Michael de Nie) for Éire-Ireland (Summer 2007). I convene the 'Left Literary Studies' graduate study group at Yale.
Undergraduate: "The Irish Revival and Modernism," "English World Literatures," "Irish and Irish-American Modernisms," "Modernism, Empire, World Crisis," and "Ulysses and Omeros: The Postcolonial Epic."
Graduate: "Modernism, Empire, World Crisis, 1890-1950," "Imperial and Anti-Imperial Epic," "Modernism, Imperialism and Globalization," "Western and Postcolonial Marxist Theory."
I am currently completing a book titled Modernism, Empire, World Literature for Cambridge University Press and revising a monograph on Irish expatriate fiction and the contemporary world literary system. Articles on the history of the English department in the Anglophone world and Irish modernist centenaries are also underway.

Prediction. It motivates students to read, and it teaches them to make predictions based on the title of the text or the illustrations on it. I.e. The text is titled "Wings Are Used for Flying". You write hypotheses about what you think the book is about, like eagles flying, how birds learn to fly, etc.
4 VISUALIZING. It's good to visualize the message in the text. Drawing the main message works well with children under 4th grade.
VOCABULARY. You have to decide what vocabulary you want to teach to the students, and then design a learning strategy. The students can have a small notepad where they write down the words they learn. This notepad has to be checked often, and the teacher can even ask about the words every once in a while. During each reading, the vocabulary that the teacher wants the students to learn is written in bold letters, outlined, etc. Everyone collaborates to explain what it means, and then they add it to their new vocabulary notepad. Keep making many references about the acquired vocabulary.
6- MONITORING. Teach the students to ask themselves whether they understand what they read or not. They started reading with a hypothesis about the text, worked on the first strategy. They have to see if the hypothesis was correct or not, if it needs to be modified, etc. This strategy is really useful to improve focusing on a task.
7- SUMMARIZING. Summarize the main ideas. The students learn to extract main ideas from every paragraph.
8- INFERRING. They are taught how to identify inferences. Inferences are things said explicitly in the text.
9-EVALUATING. Critical evaluation of the process.


Must include one MATH course.
45 hours must be upper-division.
Transfer Admission Requirements: 2.00 for less than 31 hours; 2.25 for 31-45 hours; 2.50 for more than 45 hours.
2.50 GPA in Major Requirements and College/Departmental Requirements.

Lester hits first homer, racks up 2,000th K
Lefty fans 9 in 4-plus innings, laments inability to earn win
Carrie Muskat
CHICAGO -- Jonathan Lester's uncle Paul would have been proud.
Lester not only hit his first Major League home run but collected his 2,000th career strikeout on Tuesday in the Cubs' 16-4 win over the D-backs. The only downside was that Lester couldn't last long enough to get the win. The lefty was pulled after 104 pitches over four-plus innings, and he was miffed about not being able to go longer.
"I'll trade that home run in a heartbeat for a win," Lester said. "That's my job -- my job is to pitch deep into games, give innings, give our guys quality starts and then hand it off to the bullpen, and I didn't do that tonight."
The crowd of 40,709 gave Lester a standing ovation as he came out of the game, but the lefty just shook his head.
"My appreciation is there, but the outcome of the game, for me personally, on the selfish side of it, wasn't there," he said. "All the other stuff is cool, but to only go four-plus innings in a game that we had a commanding lead from jump street is, for me, not acceptable. I can say it's a weird night and foul balls and all this other nonsense, but I have to figure out a way to get through the fifth inning with 100-plus pitches. That's the frustrating part for me."
This has been an emotional time for Lester, who had written "PLACT" on his cap to honor his uncle Paul, who passed away last month. Lester's start was moved up so he could attend the funeral this week. His uncle attended Notre Dame, and as Fighting Irish fans know, "PLACT" stands for "Play Like a Champion Today."
On July 17, Lester hit a double and stole a base, and his home run didn't really surprise manager Joe Maddon. Lester came into the game 14-for-195 (.072) at the plate with five extra-base hits, all doubles. With two outs and a runner at first in the third inning against the D-backs' Patrick Corbin, Lester launched a 2-2 pitch 389 feet into the bleachers in left-center field. The ball had an exit velocity of 104 mph, per Statcast™.
"Did you see the swing? It was really well done and really on it, and he stayed through it long and didn't try to do too much with it," Maddon said. "He's got a technically good swing. Surprised? Not really. If he gets the barrel on the ball, it'll go far."
The blast gave the Cubs an 8-1 lead, and prompted a smile from Lester as he crossed home plate. He was greeted by high fives in the dugout and a hug from pitcher John Lackey before making a curtain call at the top of the Cubs' dugout to the crowd. There is a wager between the two as to who finishes the season with the most home runs.
"He's got his start Saturday to match," Lester said of Lackey.
Lester added another milestone when he struck out Jack Reinheimer, who was making his Major League debut, to end the fourth. It was the left-hander's ninth strikeout of the game and 2,000th of his career. He is the 25th lefty in MLB history to reach that mark, and he ranks fourth among active southpaws behind Carsten Sabathia (2,803), Cole Hamels (2,170) and Clayton Kershaw (2,086).
"When it's all said and done, I'll be able to sit back and go through everything and enjoy it then," Lester said. "For me, I think it's more letting my kids know I was all right at my job."

Q: Vertical alignment of subfigures LATEX I am working on my thesis and I am struggling with placing 2 images next to each other, so that the second image would be centered vertically along the first one. I was also trying to use subfigure instead of subfloat but neither of them works.
This is how it looks alt text http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/1174/screenshot20100224at712.png
and my code is:
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering  \subfloat[H][sparse($\mathbf{A}$)]{\includegraphics[width=0.28\textwidth]{sparsesmall} \label{sparse}}
    \subfloat[H][full($\mathbf{A}$)]{\includegraphics[width=0.55\textwidth]{fullsmall}\label{full}}
  \caption{Representation of $\mathbf{A}$ in MATLAB}
  \label{schematic}
\end{figure}

Any suggestions to make it look better than now? Thx

A: You can also use \raisebox{x}{\includegraphics[...]{...}} where x is negative to shift it downwards and positive to shift upwards.

A: My method is using square minipage which centers its contents:
\begin{figure}
\subfloat[Figure a]{%
\begin{minipage}[c][1\width]{0.5\textwidth}%
\includegraphics[clip,width=1\textwidth]{figurea}%
\end{minipage}}\subfloat[Figure b]{\centering{}%
\begin{minipage}[c][1\width]{0.5\textwidth}%
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[clip,width=0.6\textwidth]{figureb}
\par\end{center}%
\end{minipage}}
\caption{main caption}
\end{figure}

This code was generated by LyX, however, so it's a bit ugly.

A: Edit: it seems like subfig package has problems, particularly when working with hyperref.  In that case, try subcaption package as mentioned in this answer.
If you use subfig package, you can do this easily.  The solution is in section 5.4 of the manual:
\newsavebox{\tempbox}
\begin{figure}[H]
\sbox{\tempbox}{\includegraphics[width=0.28\textwidth]{sparsesmall}}
\subfloat[sparse($\mathbf{A}$)]{\usebox{\tempbox}\label{sparse}}%
\qquad
\subfloat[full($\mathbf{A}$)]{\vbox to \ht\tempbox{%
  \vfil
  \includegraphics[width=0.55\textwidth]{fullsmall}
  \vfil}\label{full}}%
  \caption{Representation of $\mathbf{A}$ in MATLAB}\label{schematic}
\end{figure}

I haven't tested it, and there may be typos, but it should work.

A: Another solution (which works with the subcaption package is
\begin{figure}[p]
        \centering
        \begin{subfigure}{.49\linewidth}
            \centering
            \caption{Large Picture}
            \includegraphics{LARGEPIC}
        \end{subfigure}
        \hfill
        \begin{subfigure}{.49\linewidth}
            \centering
            \caption{SMALL PIC}
            \includegraphics{small picture}
            \begin{minipage}{.1cm}
            \vfill
            \end{minipage}
        \end{subfigure}
        \caption{Two pictures}
\end{figure}

The \vfill alone does not work, that's why it is put into the minipage


Guy Hayward, chief executive officer of Goodman Masson, explains what it means to win an Employee Benefits award.
The recruitment organisation won 'Best reward strategy aligned to business strategy' at the Employee Benefits Awards 2013.
It had integrated its inclusive reward strategy into its business culture to create a package to retain its strong performers. The financial benefits included a student loan fund, a home improvement loan and an exotic holiday fund.
It means a great deal. We set out to create a reward programme, which we called The Benefits Boutique. It supported retention, the most important component in achieving our two strategic aims. We wanted to challenge conventional wisdom and the status quo with our creativity and the award is wonderful confirmation that our approach has worked.
2. What have you done to communicate your Employee Benefits award win to your organisation and to employees?
The afternoon of the award lunch our (rather excitable) marketing team created and sent out an internal html to the whole business sharing the news. It was also added to our internal news feed across everyone's PC and that evening our chairman took the business out for some celebratory champagne!
We have been thrilled with the recognition we have received. I have been invited to speak at a number of conferences, asked to attend various board meetings of other [small and medium-sized enterprises] and we have received fabulous press coverage, all off the back of winning the award. It has been great for our brand and great for our employees, who have undoubtedly benefited from new business.
Quite simply, enter!!! Amazing coverage for your business and employee brand.
The Employee Benefits Awards 2014 are open for entries. The deadline for entries is 18 December.

After our trip to Spain, my partner was in love with muesli.. let's not discuss the many different kinds he tried and how many overpriced boxes of muesli he purchased when we got home. So it was a must that I learn how to make it when we came back from vacation. Little to my surprise, it really involves no work. You just buy some very basic ingredients (grains, nuts/seeds, fried fruit), stick it in a container, and you've got an easy and nutritious breakfast!
What makes muesli different than granola? There's no cooking required plus it doesn't involve adding oil or sweetener like granola. So why not make muesli instead of granola – no cooking and no added stuff!
Of note: I'm still a granola person. I like the crunch that the extra time and baking adds to it.. I'l forever have my boring, daily breakfast of frozen cherries, yogurt and granola in my little mason jar. But with muesli being such a staple in our home, I just had to share it with all of you!
And that's it! The combinations are ENDLESS! Seems funny sticking a recipe on here but below is my partner's fav combination of ingredients.
Add all ingredients to an air tight container. Mix well.
BAM! Muesli! Add on top of your favourite yogurt or with milk/mylk.

Slipknot's Corey Taylor on Grammy Nomination: 'I Don't Have F—ing Time For That S–t'
Graham Hartmann Published: January 19, 2016
Chad Childers, Loudwire
What does Corey Taylor think about Slipknot's latest Grammy nomination? Unsurprisingly, not much. In a new interview, Taylor says the Grammy nod means "s--t" to him, adding, "I don't have f---ing time for that s--t, to be honest."
Slipknot have been open about their distaste for the Grammys, even after winning one for "Before I Forget" in 2006. Guitarist Jim Root claimed to have used the trophy as a doorstop at one point and even lovingly placing the golden gramophone on the tank of his toilet. Slipknot have been nominated a total of seven times for their music, the latest being for "Custer" off .5: The Gray Chapter.
Corey Taylor spoke about Slipknot's nod for "Custer" during an interview with Finland's Radio Rock. When asked what the nomination means to him, Taylor replied, "S--t. I'm totally honest. I know a lot of people who, they put a lot of stock in it, but I keep telling 'em... I mean, we've been nominated now, like… God knows how many times. It's been over ten times. We won once… Cool. It's a popularity contest; that's all it is. If it weren't, if it were just about the music, you would see more metal bands — not including us — nominated in other categories, like 'Album Of The Year' [and] all of these different categories, and you just don't. So it's all a goddamn popularity contest, and I don't have f--king time for that s--t, to be honest."
Taylor adds, "It's, like, everybody, they live and breathe by whether or not they're gonna get this tiny statue, and it's, like, why? So it can sit on a goddamned shelf and collect dust. To me, the real reflection of where you're at is [performing live], and that's all it is. Walking on that stage and seeing a massive audience lose their minds — that's what it's all about. You can take those statuettes all day long; I don't care. It's cool to win, but I'm not gonna f---ing die if we don't win a Grammy, you know." [via Blabbermouth]
In the Best Metal Performance Category, Slipknot's "Custer" is up against August Burns Red's "Identity," Ghost's "Cirice," Lamb of God's "512" and Sevendust's "Thank You." The winner will be announced on Feb. 15.

Russian tanks in Kiev would mean WW3, says Italian minister

A competition the size of a World Cup demands maximum concentration from the players, who need to be focused on fighting for the most important football title on the planet 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
At least, that's what fans think. And it is also for this reason that midfielder Rodrigo de Paul, from Atlético de Madrid, has been "stoned" and blamed on social networks for the delicate situation in which Argentina got into in Qatar-2022.
Lost? We show again
According to different media outlets in Argentina, the Atlético de Madrid player spent the night before the surprising 2-1 defeat against Saudi Arabia scrolling through social media and enjoying sensual photos of his girlfriend, singer and actress Tini Stoessel.
The unexpected negative result in the debut complicated the life of the team led by Lionel Messi, who, if they also lose to Mexico, today, starting at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Iconic stadium, in Lusail, will be eliminated from the World Cup with a round of anticipation.
It is not new that Argentines have been on top of De Paul because of his relationship with the former protagonist of the series "Violetta" and one of the most listened to singers in the country.
The couple has been together since May and has never been apart. It is not unusual for the midfielder to use Atlético and the national team's matches to pledge his love to his girlfriend. In Argentina's preparation for the Cup, the player engraved three letters T on his boot, in honor of the partnership.
Also in June, the journalist Rodrigo Lussich, from the TV program "Socios del Especçou, had already disclosed that Messi and Diego Simeone, coach of Atleti, had advised De Paul to reduce the public exposure of their relationship.
The fear of the duo is that this alleged excess could be interpreted by fans as a loss of focus on football. No sooner said than done.
Other Argentina players also date or are married to celebrities. Striker Paulo Dybala, for example, has been with singer Oriana Sabatini since 2018. Messi's own wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, is now a globally recognized personality. But these relationships do not generate any kind of questioning in Argentina.
De Paul is 29 years old and has been with the national team since 2018. He was a key player in winning the 2021 Copa América, the first Albiceleste title in almost three decades, and has a captive place in coach Lionel Scaloni's lineups.
For the second match at the World Cup, Argentina's coach should promote some changes in the team. The arrival of defensive midfielder Enzo Fernández and striker Julián Álvarez in the places of Leandro Paredes and Papu Gómez is almost certain. But there is also a chance that the Atleti midfielder will be benched after his subpar performance against Saudi Arabia.
The Qatar Cup is the first to be held in the Middle East and features seven of the eight teams that have already lifted the cup. For the second consecutive edition, four-time champion Italy failed to qualify and is low.
The tournament is being played at the end of the year, and not in its usual period (June and July), because of the heat in the host country during the height of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
This is the last edition of the FIFA competition with the format that has been used since France-1998. From the next World Cup, organized by the United States, Canada and Mexico, there will be 48 participants in the dispute for the title.

22/11 – Argentina 1 x 2 Saudi Arabia, Iconic, in Lusail

The 50th Anniversary of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
November 22, 2013 christinadoyle	2 Comments
Today, Friday November 22nd 2013 (at noon) marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas.
Below are a number of images which include some of Kennedy's most famous and inspiring quotes during his time as President of the United States of America. I think these images would be great to use within the classroom when discussing John F. Kennedy's time in power.
JFK's remarks upon presenting the NASA Distinguished Service Medal to astronaut L. Gordon Cooper, in the Flower Garden of the White House, May 21, 1963
JFK's remarks at the opening of a USIA Transmitter in Greenville, N.C., February 8, 1963
President Kennedy's commencement address at American University, June 10, 1963
JFK's address at St. Paul's Church in Frankfurt, Germany, June 25, 1963
Below is a video of BBC Documentary on the assassination of John F. Kennedy which could be used as an excellent resource within a senior History classroom.

The History of October 14th….
October 14, 2013 christinadoyle	Leave a comment
I just came across a very interesting website called http://www.on-this-day.com/ which I think could come in handy in all variates of history classes. The website provides facts about what historical, important and interesting events took place on each day of the year way back when. We spend so much of our time teaching students about the hugely significant historical events which at one point or another during a particular year helped to shape the course of history and life as we know it today. However I think it would be nice to take a few moments either at the beginning or the end of a lesson to reflect upon and connect the present day with its possible significance in the past. Who knows what we might find? 🙂

Middle-aged smokers have smaller gray-matter volumes than their non-smoking peers, and the falloff is especially pronounced in the brains of smokers who also drink.
The finding comes from an MRI-based study led by members of the National Institute on Aging's (NIA's) epidemiology and population-science lab. The study was published online Feb. 11 in Translational Psychiatry.
In introducing their work, Lenore Launer, PhD, Martine Elbejjani, PhD, and colleagues noted that cigarette smoking previously has been associated with dementia and dementia-related brain changes, including atrophy of gray matter (GM).
Such changes are not surprising, given smoking's established correlations with vascular and respiratory problems as well as substance-use tendencies. The present NIA study set out to analyze the extent and localization of the smoking-GM relationship and assess the degree to which vascular, respiratory and substance use/psychological factors influence this relationship.
The researchers examined associations of smoking status with total GM volume and GM volume of brain regions linked to neurocognitive and addiction disorder in 698 adults, mean age 50.3, who enrolled in the CARDIA study as young adults in the mid-1980s.
The team found that, compared to never-smokers, current smokers had smaller total GM volume. This association was diminished after the researchers adjusted for substance use/psychological—but not vascular or respiratory—factors.
As for the smoking-drinking connection, concurrent smoker-drinkers had smaller total and regional GM than non-drinkers. Affected regions included the frontal and temporal lobes, amygdala, cingulate and insula.
From this evidence the authors concluded that brain regions most vulnerable to diminished GM due to smoking and drinking are those in which cognition and addiction processes overlap.
The study is available in full for free.

Q: Как обновлять данные элемента recyclerView в реальном времени? У меня есть список. Список постоянно обновляется. В метод приходит имя из бд и элемент добавляется в список. Каким образом нужно изменить код, что бы вызвав метод update , можно было изменить значение имени в ячейке без информации о его позиции? Сейчас у меня изменяется имя только в позиции 0. Но у меня в списке может быть 100 ячеек. И например я хочу изменить значение ячейки в позиции 56. Но через несколько секунд это уже будет не позиция 56, а , скажем, 60. Я думаю, что мне нужно подписаться на изменения списка. Но т к я новичок, я не понимаю, как мне подписаться на эти изменения. т е например: в бд изменилось имя -  получили эти изменения-поменяли в списке значение ячейки.Вот что у меня есть сейчас:
