Nothing Wrong with CEOs Making Top Dollar
Executive pay grows in step with companies' values
By Ted Balaker
From iconic movie villains like Gordon Gekko to real-life bad guys like Ken Lay, Americans have had it with corporate scoundrels. To many, corporate big-shots are greedy, bloodless, and showered with undeserved wealth. Americans are typically offended by stereotypes, and yet they're quite willing to accept a broad-brush view of corporative executives.
Sometimes it's easy to see why. Between 1980 and 2003, compensation packages for CEOs in the top 500 companies shot up by a factor of about six. Even if there's nothing fraudulent going on, that's the kind of figure that irks many of us.
And why not? It's well known that CEOs often enjoy cozy relationships with board members. Boards may rubber-stamp salary hikes and other goodies, even as company stocks tumble. Americans rightfully cry foul when pay isn't tied to performance, but sometimes they cry foul even when a big pay day is earned.
In 1992 Disney CEO Michael Eisner became the face of corporate gluttony when he exercised options valued at $127 million. President Clinton paid attention to the outrage that followed. He made CEO pay a campaign issue, and pushed for new regulations that included more stringent compensation disclosure.
Many fumed over Eisner's giant payday, yet few bothered to remember that he resuscitated Disney during the 80s and presided over a tenfold increase in share price. Harvey Golub emphasizes the same point. During the eight years he headed American Express, Golub made roughly $172 million. That figure might make most of us weak-kneed, but Golub points out that the company's value grew by $55 billion during his tenure. His seemingly obscene compensation represented less than one-half of one percent of the wealth he helped create.
Self-appointed corporate watchdogs get plenty of ink pointing out that CEOs earn vastly more than most everyone else, but they rarely make the uncomfortable point that relatively few people posses the experience, talent, and drive to lead a company of thousands. If people were interchangeable, if anyone could thrive as a corporate boss, then CEO salaries would plummet.
The CEO club is about as elite as it gets, and yet corporate America is more democratic than its jet-set image conveys. Today 57 million American households-roughly half-own stock, up from just 16 million in 1983. So when companies grow, many regular American families are enriched too.
Yes corporate excesses occur, but they're typically self-correcting. A poorly managed company may chug along for a while, but the market will eventually expose its weaknesses. When performance suffers, stockholders clamor for change. Indeed a recent Wall Street Journal Online/Harris Interactive poll revealed that poor corporate governance has prompted 64 percent of respondents to reduce or divest their holdings in a company. Sometimes corporate excess is reigned in by corporate raiders, real-life Gordon Gekkos who are ironically regarded as the very embodiment of white-collar excess. We shouldn't assume that executive compensation is fixed on an upward trajectory. Indeed a University of Chicago economist calculates that average CEO compensation for S&P 500 firms peaked in 2000, and has since tumbled by about a third.
While the market tends to correct itself, government intervention is often ineffectual or even counterproductive. For example, Clinton 's disclosure requirements probably helped drive compensation up as CEOs began to act more like pro athletes who use their peer's salaries as leverage during contract negotiations.
With our Enron-obsessed news media, it's easy to get the impression that most CEOs just aren't worth the money. But recently economists from MIT and NYU made a far different discovery. They found that, between 1980 and 2003, the average value of the top 500 companies increased by a factor of six. In other words executive compensation grew about as much as companies' values. Pay reflected performance.
Don't agree? Don't think that's the right way to measure performance? Then don't invest in companies that you think pay their execs too much. CEO pay is based on voluntary arrangements. This simple point is often overlooked during all the thundering about "corporate fat cats."
If a company's shareholders are happy, why should outsiders wail about how many Ferraris the boss owns?

Philosophies and Practices of Emancipatory Nursing
Social Justice as Praxis
Paula N. Kagan
Marlaine C. Smith
Peggy L. Chinn
Description - Philosophies and Practices of Emancipatory Nursing by Paula N. Kagan
*** Awarded First Place in the 2015 AJN Book of the Year Award in two categories - "History and Public Policy" and "Professional Issues" ***
This anthology presents the philosophical and practice perspectives of nurse scholars whose works center on promoting nursing research, practice, and education within frameworks of social justice and critical theories. Social justice nursing is defined by the editors as nursing practice that is emancipatory and rests on the principle of praxis which is practice aimed at attaining social justice goals and outcomes that improve health experiences and conditions of individuals, their communities, and society. There is a lack in the nursing discipline of resources that contain praxis approaches and there is a need for new concepts, models, and theories that could encompass scholarship and practice aimed at purposive reformation of nursing, other health professions, and health care systems. Chapters bridge critical theoretical frameworks and nursing science in ways that are understandable and useful for practicing nurses and other health professionals in clinical settings, in academia, and in research.
In this book, nurses' ideas and knowledge development efforts are not limited to problems and solutions emerging from the dominant discourse or traditions. The authors offer innovative ways to work towards establishing alternative forms of knowledge, capable of capturing both the roots and complexity of contemporary problems as distributed across a diversity of people and communities. It fills a significant gap in the literature and makes an exceptional contribution as a collection of new writings from some of the foremost nursing scholars whose works are informed by critical frameworks.

Dave Gibbs (born August 22, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his work in the Boston-based power-pop band, Gigolo Aunts.
Born and raised in Potsdam, New York, Gibbs co-founded the Gigolo Aunts with brothers Steve and Phil Hurley, and drummer Paul Brower in 1986.
Relocating to Boston, the group gained a following after a string of self-released tapes and singles, finally catching the attention of English label, Fire Records, which released their 1993 album, Flippin' Out.
The band was signed in the US to RCA Records, who re-released the album in 1994.
Gibbs also contributed backing vocals to albums by Providence, Rhode Island pop-rockers Velvet Crush, with whom he toured as lead guitarist on and off through the early 1990s.

Gibbs moved to Los Angeles in 1999, and has written songs for films and television, most notably the soundtrack to Josie and the Pussycats. He collaborated with Steve Hurley, Jane Wiedlin, Jason Falkner and Babyface on the album, which was certified Gold in 2003.
Gibbs has also contributed music to Mr. Deeds, That Thing You Do!, Everwood, Alias, One Tree Hill, Smallville, Black Sash, What About Brian, Falcon Beach, Men in Trees and others.  Alongside Adam Duritz and Ryan Adams he also composed the track "Los Angeles" from the Counting Crows record Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings.

In 2004 he released a solo album (Her Smallest Breath Is Full of Grace) under the name Kid Lightning on the Spanish label Bittersweet.

In 2005 he began working on the musical Rock of Ages as it was developed in Los Angeles. Along with Kyle Puccia, Gibbs orchestrated and arranged the songs in the show, as well as played guitar in the band. He has been with the show since, serving as music supervisor for the Las Vegas, Norwegian Cruise Line, Toronto, Australian and UK productions, as well playing guitar for the off-Broadway, Broadway, Toronto and First Natl. Tour of the show, and also producing the Original Cast Recording.

Met Gala 2018 Red Carpet Round Up
The Costume Institute Met Gala is THE fixture that every fashionista looks forward to outside of the Fashion Month calendar. It's one I always love writing about because it incites debate. A little bit of background for you, the Met Gala is held annually in May, the theme is set around 8 months in advance and in that time, a fashion exhibition is curated to show at the museum itself. Anna Wintour Chairs the Costume Institute Met Gala and she selects co-Chairs each year, this year, Rihanna and George and Amal Clooney were amongst those co-Chairs.
The theme is usually open to interpretation and is something symbolic throughout fashion history. It's usually something that's helped to shape, hone and define fashion today and an influence that can be felt over time. For 2018 the theme is "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination", quite possibly my favourite ever Met Gala theme and one which has undoubtedly inspired some of the greatest fashion moments in history. With images of John Galliano's masterpieces in mind, I had high hopes for the red carpet arrivals. So, let's get down to business, who nailed the theme and got the whole thing locked down?
The Best of the 2018 Met Gala Red Carpet
Obvs. There are a handful of people who embrace a theme and really go to town with it to create the perfect homage. This is Z's nod to Joan of Arc and damn, it's one of her finest looks yet. The girl got game but she didn't come to play. You can tell the moment she got gowned up she just slid into character.
This structured lampshade bandeau dress with a ruffled cape is pretty enough, but topped off with a widows lace veil and headpiece it's perfection. There's a reason Krueger tops best dressed lists the world over, and thats because she's not afraid to take risks with styling choices.
ZURI HALL
Looking like an absolute goddess Zuri Hall was an early arrival at the Met Gala and one of my absolute favourites. Simple, effective and befitting of the Heavenly Bodies theme.
That's right voyeurs, that's the original Wonder Woman right there looking bedazzling on the Met Gala red carpet. Who would have thought it?
Because there ain't no Met Gala without Rih. When it comes to slaying a theme, Rihanna is an absolute boss, nobody else comes close. She knows it, we know it and everyone else on that red carpet knows it. Trust me, when Rih lands at the Met Gala, nobody wants to be on that red carpet with her. A powerful, excessive display of over achievement.
You know that feeling when a theme comes along that was completely and utterly made for you? That's what you're seeing right here, Lana Del Rey is the very embodiment of religion in fashion and her Gucci pairing with Jared Leto is just perfection. If I had to call places I'd put her joint first alongside Rihanna.
Whilst you were all sat there expecting her expecting to rock up with one rosary beaded breast, or thorn trimmed underwear, Madonna only went and foxed you all by turning up with a look so on trend it hurts. From the fitted widows lace face veil to the perfectly placed crown, Madonna pulls off the professional Sicilian widow vibe with ease; and added black roses.
Pray for me Lily Collins, I'm on my knees. This is simple but so tremendously on theme, on it's own as a dress it's pretty boring but dressed up with the headpiece, makeup and rosary beads this is one powerful look. And don't even get me started on that stare, it's the most perfect accessory.
Presumably taking inspiration from Cara Delevingne's Enchantress in DC's Suicide Squad, Rosie H-W looks nothing short of angelic in this gold plunge front gown complete with cape and halo. An early arrival on the red carpet setting the standard for a sea of boring gold dresses, this one managed to rise to the top leaving the others to wallow in their insignificance. No accessories required when you're shining this bright on your own.
Now I know the woman defies the ageing process and is an absolute goddess, but in recent years her fashion choices have been, well, a little lame. Where she has tried to put herself out there, it's fallen short of the finish line, this however, is freaking fabulous. Yes it's an easy option to choose something emblazoned with a cross like "Hey, yeah over here, did you see I got the memo?" But come on, this is something else.
There were so many gowns that hit the theme perfectly this time around, I mean hell yeah, there was a lot of shit too but narrowing the list down to just ten was a hard task! What you really want to see is who got it wrong though right? Keep it here Voyeurs, it's coming soon…

NVIDIA has blown away gamers across the world with its reveal of the GeForce GTX 1080 last week, but now we're hearing about partner cards and we're beginning to get super excited. Remember that we're actually giving away an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 'Founder's Edition' video card, and so much more in our global giveaway!
GIGABYTE has taken to its Xtreme Gaming Facebook page, teasing the above image and "Hey GIGABYTE Fans! We've got something coming! ;) Details coming soon". Quite the tease, considering that NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080 Founder's Edition is already ridiculously fast. GIGABYTE makes some of the best custom video cards on the market, so we're pretty excited to see what they can do with the GTX 1080 - especially with its newly shrunken 16nm FinFET technology, super-fast GDDR5X and exciting new Pascal architecture from NVIDIA.
Since taking the position of reviewing video cards here at TweakTown, I've yet to get a GIGABYTE model into review. Hopefully this changes with the new generation cards, and we can begin getting in some samples. I was hanging out with Jay of JayzTwoCents on YouTube, and he was telling me how much he loves his GIGABYTE video cards, but I haven't gotten my hands-on any yet. Now is my time! Let's do this, GIGABYTE!


UUE files are encoded using a Unix program called uuencode. Files encoded with uuencode are oftentimes used to send documents via e-mail to guarantee that they do not become corrupted in the process of sending. Files with the UUE extension contain encoded text. In order to retrieve the textual information in the file, it has to be decoded first.
Uuencode is used on the Unix system to convert binary files. The result is a file containing text. UUE files are most commonly used to transfer or send documents and other data in between computers running with the Unix system. In order to decode the UUE files again, Unix provides a program called uudecode. However, there are also applications available for both Windows and Apple computers to decode and encode UUE files. Using the official web services, encoding and decoding UUE files is possible online as well.

Time to end the Anfield hoodoo!
Venue: Anfield, Liverpool.
Date: Sunday, 4th November.
Kick off: 4:00pm
Referee: Anthony Taylor (Manchester).
UK TV: Sky Sports.
This Sunday, NUFC attempt to right a good few wrongs against Brendan Rodgers's Liverpool at the home of the Red Bin Dippers.
Our record at Anfield is marginally better than that at Old Trafford unfortunately in reality its still poor. Since we joined the Premier League back in 1993 we have won only once in the red half of Merseyside and drawn twice from a total of eighteen league games. The one win came in our first season back in 93/94 with goals from Lee and Cole. Back in those days we were given the nickname "The Entertainers" by Sky Sports because of our fluid, positive, attacking play masterminded by KK. Nowadays the task of entertaining has passed on to Pardew and his contribution to open attacking football tends to be in the form of the "hoof" or "long ball".
Despite having failed to ignite a talented team for more than 45 minutes in any game we've played this season, Pardew had his fingers crossed yesterday when interviewed on BBC Sport, as he had this to say: (more…)


ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohammad Khan on Tuesday assured a parliamentary committee that the government would soon move a constitutional amendment to ensure appointment of government officers/officials as per provincial quota.
Addressing the Senate Functional Committee on Government Assurances, the minister said the amendment would soon be moved and for that the government was trying to muster support of all political parties.
It is worth mentioning that under Article 27 of the 1973 Constitution, the quotas for the provinces were fixed for 40 years, and that period ended in 2013. However, soon after coming to power, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government decided to extend the quota system for another 20 years and introduced a bill in parliament for the purpose. The bill, however, could not become a law over the next five years.
Since it is a constitutional amendment, the government requires a two-thirds majority in parliament to get the bill passed.
Committee chairman Mohammad Tahir Bizenjo, who belongs to the National Party, said that not only the bill should be tabled at the earliest but the quota system should also be implemented in letter and spirit.
"Unfortunately, quota system has never been implemented. Currently, there is not a single federal secretary from Balochistan which is nothing but unfair with less populous provinces," he added.
He said that since the employment quota had expired in 2013, it should have been extended through constitutional amendment without any delay. Unemployment and sense of deprivation was increasing in Balochistan, he said.
Mr Bizenjo was of the opinion that the bill should be moved at the earliest and he did not see any hindrance in its passage.
"The Pakistan Peoples Party introduced the quota system so it will never go against it. Moreover, all the parties of less populous provinces will also support the bill. We assure you that the bill would easily sail through the National Assembly and the upper house of parliament," he said.
Other members of the committee also said that the quota system was extremely essential to mitigate the grievances amongst less populous provinces and the underprivileged areas of the country.
Since implementation of the quota was a problematic subject, it was stressed that the parliamentary affairs ministry should look into the implementation of the quota system in letter and spirit.

The Century Zn-Pb-Ag deposit was discovered in 1990 by Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd while drill testing a zinc, lead, silver soil geochemical anomaly. The deposit contained a resource estimate of 118Mt @ 10.2% Zn, 1.5% Pb & 36g/t Ag. The deposit was mined from 1999 to 2015, producing an average of 475,000tpa zinc concentrate and 50,000tpa lead concentrate.
Substantial recoverable zinc mineralisation exists in the tailings at Century, due to the historical focus on throughput maximisation as opposed to recovery maximisation. The nature of the original Century ore required extended flotation time and given the scale of the original Century deposit (105Mt at 12% Zn) a high throughput processing plant was constructed, achieving relatively modest recoveries (74% in 2015) over the life of operations.
Three independent metallurgical studies have been completed on the Century Tailings Deposit, demonstrating the tailings may be reprocessed through the existing plant on site with minor modifications to achieve recovery of >60% of remaining zinc mineralisation into a saleable ~52% zinc concentrate.
The simple reprocessing of the Century tailings provides a mechanism for the economic rehabilitation of the mine site, with the tailings area representing a significant portion of the current rehabilitation requirements. After reprocessing, the tailings are planned to be deposited back into the original open pit and encapsulated via subaqueous deposition.
Beyond the significant tailings resource, three in-situ resources provide the ability to expand production or increase mine life beyond processing of tailings. The total JORC compliant Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources is 9.3Mt at 6.1% Zn, 4.7% Pb and 66g/t Ag for 568,000t contained zinc, 433,000t contained lead and 19,850,000oz contained silver.
The Silver King lead-zinc-silver deposit is 1.5km SW of the original Century open pit. The JORC compliant Inferred mineral resource at Silver King is 2.7Mt at 6.9% Zn, 12.5% Pb and 120g/t Ag (20.5% ZnEq), reported above a 5% Pb cut-off, for a total zinc equivalent metal content of 553,500t.
Discovered in 1897, Silver King had a rich history of small scale mining until 1961, having been accessed by 15 shafts and associated underground workings to a depth of approximately 60m. Estimated historical production is 3,149t of lead and 100,000oz of silver.
The Silver King mineralisation consists of a series of moderately to steeply dipping quartz-galena-sphalerite-siderite veins associated with a NE trending dextral strike-slip fault. Further sphalerite and galena mineralisation occurs within shale hosted breccia also associated with the veins.
Silver King provides further potential for an economic operation to be established on site utilising existing infrastructure. The Silver King Deposit was never mined by previous owners of Century largely due to its relatively small scale (and partial underground) nature compared with the Century open pit operations.
With the implementation of tailings reprocessing operations, potential exists to extract Silver King for utilisation as a blending ore.
The South Block deposit is located on teh southernmost portion of the original Century ore body and directly adjacent to the existing processing plant. The JORC compliant mineral resources of the South Block deposit are 6.1Mt at 5.3% Zn, 1.5% Pb and 43g/t Ag.
While South Block represents a continuation of the historical Big Zinc ore body, which was successfully mined and processed for over 16 years, New Century elected to complete metallurgical testwork on the drilling samples for confirmation of historical performance and potential areas of recovery optimistation.
Preliminary testwork completed to date has been positive, with the New Century metallurgical team confirming South Block will be suitable for processing via the existing plant configuration at the Mine. This includes the requirement for utilisation of the existing carbon pre-float circuit of the plant, which allows for the initial removal of carbon prior to lead then zinc flotation, ensuring target concentrate grades are maintained.
Recoveries of up to 82% zinc, 85% lead and 83% silver have been achieved to date. Further metallurgical testwork and optimisation is planned in the coming months in order to finalise sufficient inputs for New Century's planned Feasibility Study, due to commence in Q2, 2018. Further information on the South Block resource and planned Feasibility Study can be found HERE.
The East Fault Block is a small deposit located 35m below the surface of the run-of-mine stockpile area at the mine site and extends to a depth of 112m. The JORC compliant mineral resources of the East Fault Block are 520,000t at 11.6% Zn, 1.1% Pb and 48 g/t Ag (12.3% ZnEq), for a total zinc equivalent metal content of 64,000t.
The Century tenements host substantial phosphate mineralisation in the Phantom Hills Deposit and other minor deposits, located directly to the NE of the Century open pit. In 2013, a 14,300m RC and diamond drilling program was completed over the phosphate deposit area.
Despite the extensive drilling to date, a defined resource for the Phantom Hill Phosphate Deposit is yet to be estimated.
Conversion of the Century infrastructure to support a phosphate rock processing operation presents a low cost and low risk option to extending the life of Century operations and infrastructure beyond zinc and lead processing activities.
Excellent exploration potential remains at Century for the discovery of smaller scale high grade deposits within the 783km2 of mining licences and the exploration permit.
Despite the tenements being located in the highly prospective Termite Range Fault district, since 1990 exploration has been predominantly focused on a relatively narrow strategy targeting further discovery of large (>25Mt) sediment-hosted Zn/Pb/Ag deposits of similar scale to the original Century deposit.
The large-scale Century deposit was located in the middle of a 20km diameter cluster of smaller high grade vein-breccia lodes. Limited exploration work has occurred on these high-grade targets, providing potential for adoption of a revised strategy targeting delineation of smaller (1-10Mt) high grade deposits.
These vein-breccia lodes form distinct ridges and outcrops opposing the recessive siltstone and shale members throughout the mineral field. Over 40 of these lode targets have been recorded to date, with the largest being the already defined Silver King Deposit. Many have shafts, pits or small historic workings to mark their locations.
Given the planned near term re-starting of operations via tailings reprocessing, potential exists for these resources to be used as blending material and processed via the existing plant at Century.
An extensive exploration database over the Century tenements has been acquired in addition to a comprehensive review of the exploration history of the region. This data is now under analysis and will be utilised to form the basis of future exploration programs over the tenements.

An Intergenerational Model of Wages, Hours, and Earnings
Joseph G. Altonji
Thomas A. Dunn
We develop a model in which a set of unobserved parental and sibling factors drives wages and work preferences. These factors lead to similarities within families in wages, work hours, and earnings. We estimate the model using data on parents and siblings in the National Longitudinal Surveys. We find that parental and sibling wage factors influence the wages of both sons and daughters. We also find strong similarities in work hours that run along gender lines and are due primarily to linkages in preferences. The effect of wages on earnings is direct rather than through a labor supply response.

A personalised diagnosis will take place at your first appointment. This will include a full consultation – gaining information about current symptoms but also a full medical history and I will also ask to feel your pulse and look at your tongue. The treatment will then involve the insertion of ultra-fine sterile, disposable needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the healing process. You will lie on a treatment couch and be given time to relax and let the needles work during the treatment. In most cases you will not need to undress – it is advisable to wear loose fitting clothes where possible. Many patients feel so relaxed during treatment they fall asleep.
Acupuncture, when performed by a properly qualified, licensed professional is extremely safe. Most of the side effects are positive (e.g. better sleep, improved digestion), other minor side effects that might happen could be minor bleeding or bruising. Occasionally, some people notice that their pain or symptom actually seems to be worse before it gets better. This is normally a good sign and lets you know that a therapeutic process in your body has started. At each follow up appointment a full review will take place and you can feedback how you've been feeling – treatment will be adjusted accordingly.
Prior to each treatment it is advisable to eat a light meal or snack and to avoid caffeine or alcohol.
During your treatment I may use other methods which I see helpful to your condition such as cupping, moxibustion, lifestyle and dietary advice.
If you have any questions at any stage of your treatment, please do ask!

Q: The asymptotics of a recursion I am trying to assess the aymptotic behavior for large $n$ of the sequence $(a_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ defined by the recursion
\begin{align}
a_{n} &= (n+1) a_{n-1} - n a_{n-2}-1, \ \forall n\ge3 \\
a_2 &= 2a_1-3.
\end{align}
This recursion originates from this question on stats.stackexchange.com.
Define the generating function $f(x):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n,$. $g(x):=x^2f(x)$ satisfies the ODE
$$g'-\Big(\frac1{x^2}+\frac1x+\frac1{1-x}\Big)g=\Big(\frac x{1-x}\Big)^2-\frac{a_0}{1-x}+(2a_0-a_1)\frac x{1-x}$$
Multiply both sides by $e^h=\frac{1-x}xe^{\frac1x}$ where $h(x):=\frac1x+\ln\frac{1-x}x$ and get
$$\frac{d}{dx}\Big(\frac{1-x}xe^{\frac1x}g\Big)=e^{\frac1x}\Big(\frac x{1-x}-\frac{a_0}x+(2a_0-a_1)\Big).$$
Now $e^{\frac1x}$ seems to prevent me from solving the ODE in a "closed" form.
I read somewhere the complex analysis may help to derive the large $n$ asymptotics of $a_n$. How does one procede?

A: Partial answer to an interesting problem.  However, without $a_0$ and $a_1$ specified, one can't even determine the sign of the asymptotics.  By dropping the -1 on the right-hand side of the equation, the recursion can be solved (in Mathematica) in terms of 'subfactorials.'  That is
$$a_n = \kappa_1+ \kappa_2 \sum_{k=0}^n k! $$
where the $\kappa$ are related somehow to $a_0$ and $a_1.$  Naturally the second term will dominate.  Choosing $a_0=0$ and using numerical and symbolic computations I was able to determine
$$ a_n \sim (a_1+2-e)\sum_{k=0}^n k! \quad ,\quad (a_0 = 0)$$
To make it absolutely clear, this step lacked rigor. The sum may be approximated by
$ \sum_{k=0}^n k! \sim n! (n-1)/n .$  As a check, for $a_1=2,$ by the time $n=10,$ the relative error is about 1 part in a million.  What would be an interesting study is what happens to the asymptotics when $a_1 = e-2;$ it appears to be slowly growing, like $\cal{o}(n^{1/4}).$  We therefore have a region where, even with one constant simply specified, a non-uniformity appears.  With two free constants, this problem might be a real bear to get a handle on.
Update: The second formula is a proposed asymptotic solution for
$a_n = (n+1)a_{n-1}-n \ a_n -1$ for $a_0=0$ and away from the region $a_1=e-2.$  The first asymptotic form was deduced by using Mathematica's RSolve command.  To check, and to generate numerical data for my guess, I did the following:
$$\text{ Clear[a]; a[0]=0; a[1]=1; a[n_]:=a[n]=(n+1)a[n-1]-n*a[n-2]-1;}$$
$$\text{tb=Table[a[n],{n,0,30}]/Table[ Sum[k!,{k,0,n}],{n,0,30}]}$$
The output is
$$ \text{N[tb]={0, .5, .5, .4, .323529, ... 0.281718}} $$
One of the last numbers looked a lot like $e$ minus a rational, so I used
$$ \text{FindIntegerNullVector[{1,E,0.281718...}]}$$
to confirm my suspicion.  Doing this for many $a_1$ led to the conjecture; it is not a proof I don't have enough motivation to go further.

A: Define $b_n:=a_n-a_{n-1}$. The original recursion turns into
$$b_n=nb_{n-1}-1$$
which is solvable with a generating function.

Mr Rory Wenman Miles
Innovation Fellow
Rory.Miles@port.ac.uk
As the Innovation Fellow at the CEI, I'm focused on "taking plastic-eating enzymes our of the lab to eat real-life plastic". If you're interested in partnering with the Centre for Enzyme Innovation to achieve the mission of delivering transformative enzyme-enabled solutions for the circular recycling of plastics, please get in contact with me by phone or email. I can support your organisation in identifying solutions that CEI enzymes and processes could help in solving, in particular if you are interested in working towards greater sustainability and implenting circular economies. I can also advise on potential routes to enable partnerships with the CEI. We have many exciting emerging opportunities in the innovation at the CEI, including the launch of our Industrial Engagement Hub in 2022, which I am happy to share.
I joined the Centre for Enzyme Innovation at University of Portsmouth in April 2020, following a varied career in research and innovation roles. I started out as a research scientist in molecular microbiology and genomics at Public Health England and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. Followed more recently by roles at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) focused on engaging with suppliers and customers to deliver & exploit cutting-edge research and innovation for Defence purposes. I am driven on enhancing the impact and innovation of research outputs by industry and wider sectors, ensuring that society fully benefit from research outcomes. At the CEI, this means "taking the enzymes out of the lab to tackle real-life plastic"
As the dedicated Innovation Fellow at the Centre for Enzyme Innovation, I focus on the following areas:
•Developing and managing CEI partnerships with industry and third sector organisations; developing projects/programmes of research and innovation activites and consulting on innovation opportunities
•Leading on establishing the CEI Innovation Suite (due for launch in 2022), the focus point in the CEI industrial engagement hub for enhancing our engagement with current and future partners
•Leading the development of new activities that enhance the ability and capacity of the CEI to work with our partners
There are plenty of opportunities for prospective partners to get involved with the CEI and benefit from our research and innovation in "plastic-eating enzymes". I am available to discuss any of these options (and others) further:
Industry-acadaemia PhD's
Technology transfer and licensing
Use/hire of our facilities
Grant-funded research collaborations
Research contracting
Consultancy in bio-recycling/biotechnology
KTP's
Research Staff Exchanges and Secondments
Networking and workshops


The title story of this collection of short pieces by James Thurber is probably his best-known work, thanks to the popular film adaptation starring Danny Kaye. Thurber has a reputation as a humourist and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty brings together a selection of his pieces from a previous collection called The Thurber Carnival. Recently reissued in a lovely Penguin Modern Classics edition, it's the ideal way to get acquainted with this unexpected author. I say 'unexpected' for a good reason; Thurber is an author new to me and I somehow expected to be reading lightweight, witty pieces. However, I actually encountered something much more varied, quite dark in places and very pithy.
Thurber was something of a polymath; despite having problems with his sight for much of his life, he produced cartoons, journalism, short stories, plays and was known as a wit. His works were filmed and his plays appeared on Broadway. The pieces collected here are remarkably varied, reflecting his wide range, and there are some wonderfully funny stories. Many of the most humorous are (semi?) autobiographical tales of family life, the best of which I would say is The Night the Bed Fell, a tale of family chaos which had me laughing out loud.
I suppose the high-water mark of my youth in Columbus, Ohio, was the night the bed fell on my father. It makes a better recitation (unless, as some friends of mine have said, one has heard it five or six times) than it does a piece of writing, for it is almost necessary to throw furniture around, shake doors and bark like a dog, to lend the proper atmosphere and versimilitude to what is admittedly a somewhat incredible tale. Still, it did take place.
The humour is often wry and bittersweet, such as The Secret Life of James Thurber, in which the author somewhat presents his own memoirs in contrast to those of the larger-than-life and frankly unbelievable recollections of Salvador Dali – which, despite their patent untruths, seem to have outsold the works of Thurber, a fact that obviously bothered the latter!
One does not have to skitter far before one comes upon some vignette which gives the full shape and flavour of the book: the youthful dreamer of dreams biting a sick bat or kissing a dead horse, the slender stripling going into man's estate with the high hope and fond desire of one day eating a live but roasted turkey, the sighing lover covering himself with goat dung and aspic that he might give off the true and noble odour of the ram. In my flying trip through Dali I caught other glimpses of the great man: Salvador adoring a seed ball fallen from a plane tree, Salvador kicking a tiny playmate off a bridge, Salvador caressing a crutch, Salvador breaking the old family doctor's glasses with a leather-thonged mattress-beater. There would appear to be only two things in the world that revolt him (and I don't mean a long-dead hedgehog). He is squeamish about skeletons and grasshoppers. Oh, well, we all have our idiosyncracies.
But in stark contrast to the humour are Thurber's vignettes of married life. His own first marriage was apparently troubled, so this may have influenced his view of the institution; nevertheless, several of these sharp little tales reflect a very cynical view of life a deux. The title story itself is a rather muted affair, with middle aged Mitty the ultimate henpecked husband, escaping into fantasy to avoid the reality of his tedious life and domineering wife; several of this type turn up in the stories. However, Thurber does not restrict his somewhat bitter viewpoint to women, as other tales (particularly A Couple of Hamburgers) dissect the tensions created by both partners in a relationship, as they snipe at each other, attempting to irritate and annoy. The tone of these stories actually brought Dorothy Parker to mind, and Thurber is just as merciless as she was in his portrayal of the dissension that occurs between men and women.
Perhaps the darkest piece in the collection is One is a Wanderer; narrated by a man living alone (it's unclear whether he is divorced or has lost a partner), he struggles to fill his hours and cope with the intense loneliness. Maybe Thurber is saying that despite the inevitable problems of marriage, life with a partner is better than that without one. It's certainly a powerful story that presents a bleak vision of solitude and proves that Thurber was not just a lightweight purveyor of witty bon mots.
However, running through most of these works is a dry wit and plenty of dark humour. Thurber certainly seems to know the human condition well, with all its foibles. His writings feature a number of dogs, too, and he displays a fondness for these creatures – well, they *are* known as man's best friend! Two of the stories, autobiographical works, are illustrated with his line drawings; these add to the fun of reading and I found myself wishing that more had been included.
All in all this is a really satisfying collection to read. Because of the variety in the stories, there's never a risk that they're going to just blur into one. Instead, you're treated to stories that make you laugh out loud, poignant reminiscences, wry reflections on family idiosyncrasies and pieces that capture the depths of human loneliness. Thurber was obviously a man of many talents, and this is a fabulous introduction to his work.

Karen: I read most of Thurber's work in my younger years & loved most of it. He's a sort of milder David Sedaris. I believe Secret Life was filmed again fairly recently.
Thurber wrote a couple of children's stories: The Thirteen Clocks & The Wonderful O. I don't know if they're still available, but there used to be a Puffin edition with illustrations by Ronald Searle.
I reckon they'd definitely be worth tracking down – particularly with Searle drawings!
Is Thurber not widely read in the UK? He seems to be a very 'American' writer. Way back in my High School days he was required reading, I wonder if that's still the case now.
Those two children's books mentioned in the above comment are back in print with New York Review Books.
I don't know that he is particularly. I had a BFF back in the day who was a big fan but I don't know many people who read him. Which is a shame, based on this collection.

From skits to skate dances, acting to reverse painting, Kolhapuris proudly displayed their skills and talent at a recently held talent hunt in the city.
The event saw participation from over 65 people from Kolhapur, Karad, Nipani, Jaysingpur, Ichalkaranji and Gadhinglaj. It turned out to be quite a colourful show as some displayed intricate rangoli patterns, dances and songs while others showed off their gymnastic moves and lavani dance.
The finalists from this talented lot participated in the final round which was held earlier this week. Marathi actor Kunal Phadke and comedian Santosh Shinde were spotted as judges. They seemed to be having a tough time selecting a winner as each one was as talented as the other.
Twelve-year-old Shivani Prashant Ingawale won the competition for her amazing performance of Jaldeepaasan (yoga); while Shivaji Dinkar Kumbhar's talent of painting a picture completely inverted won him the first runner-up slot. The judges and audiences also enjoyed second runners-up Sachin Sapkal's and Ganesh Patil's impromptu skits on words (topics) given by the audience. It was definitely a fun evening both for the participants and the large crowd gathered at the venue.

Books by Karen Dukess '84, Akemi Johnson '04, and Susan Rebecca White '99
By Edward Hardy / January–February 2020
The Last Book Party by Karen Dukess '84 (Henry Holt)
It's 1987, the Bangles are on the boombox, literary agents still send manuscripts out in white boxes, and Eve Rosen, a Brown grad who longs to be a writer but is marking time as an editorial secretary at a New York publishing firm, gets an invitation to a literary house party on Cape Cod. There she meets Henry Grey, a New Yorker writer she has corresponded with, along with Franny, his son, and Tillie, his poet wife. The narrative shuttles from Truro to Manhattan and back as Eve leaves her job to become Henry's research assistant. Affairs, awakenings, and betrayals follow in this entertaining coming-of-age debut.
Night in the American Village: Women in the Shadow of the U.S. Military Bases in Okinawa by Akemi Johnson '04 (The New Press)
Okinawa is home to more than 50,000 Americans and more U.S. military bases than anywhere in Japan. In this fascinating, deeply reported debut, Johnson explores the complex ways in which the U.S. presence influences life on the island. Structured around the stories of eleven women, including Okinawan activists, military wives, American base workers, and friends of Johnson's when she lived there, the result is a nuanced chorus of perspectives and a compelling dive into the shifting mix of Japanese, American, and Okinawan cultures in Japan's southernmost prefecture.
We Are All Good People Here by Susan Rebecca White '99 (Atria)
This multigenerational saga chronicles the twined friendship of two roommates who meet on move-in day at Belmont College in Virginia in 1962. Daniella Gold, whose parents are middle-class liberals from Washington D.C., and Eve Whalen, from an upper crust Atlanta family, form a surprising and nearly instant bond. The novel follows the arcs of their lives—as Eve becomes radicalized and Daniella takes a more pragmatic route towards building social justice—on through civil rights struggles, Vietnam protests, and into the early 1990s, when their daughters' lives take hold of the narrative. A wide-angle read tracing how the bonds of early friendship can fray but still hold.

We decided to head north to Rhode Island to visit the Roger Williams Park. This is a second visit to Rhode Island. This means Edonna only has one more state to visit before she has all 50 under her belt. We will be visiting Massachusetts soon. Then we will both have all 50 states completed. Our new goal is to visit all 60 national parks. That is a lofty goal.
Providence, RI is about 45 minutes north of our campground. It was an easy ride. My father took me and my sister to this park when we were kids. It was as fun as I remembered. There were many Canadian geese in the park but I was not attacked. There will probably be a common thread through many of my posts, Canadian geese hate me. I hate them right back. Perhaps I will regal you with my tales with Canadian geese in another post. There is a room in the natural history museum that creeped me out today as much as it did when I was a child.
This is a very old public park. The original plans were drawn up in the 1870s. This is an amazing space. There are walking trails. A rose garden. A Japanese garden. Lots of statues. A natural history museum with a live, active bee hive. A zoo and much more. It is a great place to get away from city living.
"Roger Williams Park was created in 1870 after Betsey Williams bequeathed 102 acres of farmland and woodland to the city of Providence to be used for public purpose. A portion of the gift included land that was shared with her great, great, great grandfather, Rhode Island founder Roger Williams, by the Narragansett sachems Canonicus and Miantonomo.
Horace Cleveland, a leader in the Urban Parks Movement, created the design for the Park. It was intended to serve as an escape for those working in highly industrialized Providence in the late nineteenth century. Twenty years after Betsey's bequest, the Park quadrupled in size and daily attendance had grown to 15,000 visitors.
