"Underworld Courier," vol. 1, no. 5 (February 8, 1941), St. Valentine's Day Issue. Dumbarton Oaks Archives.
During the first years of the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, a group of eight librarians, cataloguers, and researchers inhabited the basement area that now houses the Dumbarton Oaks Archives. They referred to this area as "The Underworld." In 1941, with the participation of Louisa Bellinger, who was Research Assistant for the Dumbarton Oaks Census, this group "published" Dumbarton Oaks' first newsletter, the "Underworld Courier," which was sent to Mildred and Robert Woods Bliss who were in Santa Barbara, California. In the "Courier," which was typed and supplemented with clippings and other enclosures, there were brief reports on all aspects of the new institution: the library, the Collection, the Census, the gardens, the Fellows Quarters – even a weather report. Vol. 1, no. 1 (January 11, 1941), for example, offers the following:
Visitors come steadily and with serious interest to the Collection. One day the Swiss Minister and his wife came to the Library to hunt in our books for parallels to a Limoges enamel which had been offered to them by a dealer. Though we have not attempted to collect much material on the subject, they did find exactly what they wanted, and left, convinced that the object had a fair chance of being all that the dealer claimed.
For the "St. Valentine's Day Issue," vol. 1, no. 5 (February 8, 1941), Louisa Bellinger created a Dumbarton Oaks Census record (Reg. No. 41.2.14) (above) with images of a selection of Coptic textiles depicting "Cupid." The description reads:
From the Dumbarton Oaks Census File
(The Coptic home, next to the Nile)
The putti, with zest
Have all left for the West
Bearing Valentine Greetings in style.
The nineteen issues of volume 1 and the five issues of volume 2 are preserved in the Dumbarton Oaks Archives. The "Underworld Courier" ceased publication on October 10, 1941.

A few weeks ago our ambassador Julia Hobson watched in amazement, a beautiful video released by adventurer Alastair Humphries titled "Mountain Bikes and Bothy Nights". The video followed an imaginary journey linking 'bothies' in the wildest parts of Scotland by bike. It struck Julia how no one could possibly watch the video without thinking longingly of the mountains whilst wanting to plan an epic adventure……..which is exactly what Julia did along with her friends Andy, Aneela and Anna. Catch her adventure below.
For those not in the know, or who haven't yet watched Alastair's film, Bothies are simple, rustic, rudimentary shelters in remote places, left unlocked and free to use by all those who enjoy wild and lonely places. They can range from small huts, to 2-storey cottages. There are no facilities, just a dry space, often with a fireplace or woodburner, and sometimes a sleeping bench on which to put your mat. You must take in (and out) everything you will need, including food, sleeping equipment, fuel for cooking and the fire, and anything else you need to be self sufficient.
Armed with a trolley full of food from Aldi, kit for every weather eventuality and our bikes, the four of us headed north from the Borders on Bank Holiday Friday. Feeling smug whilst we cruised along with few other cars on the roads as we listened to a 30minute bulletin of Bank Holiday traffic chaos in the south of England, it felt good to be going further away from the crowds! Our plan was loosely based around heading North West, checking the weather, and deciding on a one or two night bothy trip with some exploratory mountain biking in between. Despite the fact that Andy and Aneela know most of Scotland like the back of their hands, there are occasionally still trails they haven't explored, and bothies they haven't stayed in, and whilst I've done some riding in the North West Highlands, there are many many trails I've yet to discover there.
Along with sleeping bags, mats, dry clothes and warm jackets, food for 3 days, water, first aid kit, maps, bike parts and tools, a camping stove and fuel, pans and mugs, fuel for the fire, and head-torches, there was also the small matter of trying to fit in some beer and wine for a couple of nights for the four of us! I for one was adamant this wasn't going to get left behind….we were going to need some nightly reward for hefting these heavy bags across the mountains on our backs! Some tough riding was going to follow for sure!
There's a sense of setting out on a great big adventure when you take all your food and kit with you like that, even if it's just for a night or two. Once you pedal away from your car and out into the hills it feels like you're getting "out there", away from it all….from people, from the noise of roads, from computers and smartphones and TVs, from the comforts of modern living, out of your comfort zone…it's just you, your friends and your bikes in the great outdoors. If you forget something or break something you can't just nip to the shops to fix it, you have to be completely self-sufficient. Britain is not a particularly wild place when you compare it to the great wildernesses of the World, but "Wild" can mean different things to different people, and for most of us that aren't explorers, there are plenty of places in Scotland where the 'Wild Factor' is pretty high. It is also a place where the wilderness is easily accessible.
You just need to get inspired, grab a map, make a plan and go, and as we found within a few hours of effort, you can find yourself in a place that feels remote, lonely and isolated, where you are humbled by incredible mountains all around and few signs of human interference.
So we pushed and rode our bikes uphill and over a small pass, stopping to readjust bags so we weren't unbalanced on the bikes. It was hard work, but then the harder you work to get somewhere, often the greater the reward is when you get there. It took a while to get used to riding with such a heavy bag, and there were a few boggy sections where we all only narrowly avoided being dispatched out the front door as our front wheels sank and the weight of the bags on our backs kept us travelling forward with more momentum than normal!
As the gale force wind howled and roared outside overnight, sounding as though it would lift the roof off at times, the rain and sleet lashed down, and the rivers around us swelled to impassable torrents of gushing water, we stayed warm and dry sleeping inside the bothy after our feast of risotto with chorizo, washed down with a mug of French red wine, enjoyed in front of a roaring fire. We awoke to more of the same, gale force winds that would've made riding impossible, heavy sleety rain, and no desire to leave the warmth of our little shelter!
It's so rare that you ever find yourselves in that position, with no phones or computers or tv or indeed anything to do except talk and interact with other people who are equally undistracted! I think we all felt it was good for us! However, after 10 hours in a small room, we were all going a bit stir-crazy…fortunately, the weather had started to abate, the river levels were receeding and we decided that we might go insane if we stayed indoors any longer, so we packed up in record time, cleaned the bothy to leave it as we found it, and headed out at 7pm for a dash to another bothy.
A half hour of river and saturated bog crossing, then a pedal on gloriously fast landrover track followed. The weather was continuing to improve, we were sheltered in the lee of the wind behind a big hill, and the sun was trying to come out, illuminating the new snow on the high hills above us.
The bothy we arrived at was huge, it even had a toilet! Even more excitingly, there was masses of firewood to burn on the fire to try to dry our wet kit. We cooked another feast, drank some more delicious beer and wine, went out to look at the beautiful starry skies, threw logs on the fire until we were practically cooking from the heat given off, and then slept well again.
We started by pushing and carrying our bikes up a boggy hillside on a barely-there trail through the tussocks and heather….you might be thinking this already sounds horrendous, but none of us are averse to a bit of hike-a-bike in the search for those ultimate trails! In fact, I often actually quite like that kind of suffering to get to a trail…it makes the reward of finding a good one oh so much sweeter when you get there, and knowing that most of the biking population won't bother to put that kind of effort in to ride something makes you smile at the knowledge that you've found your own little secret piece of singletrack gold.
A glorious ribbon of undulating technical rocky singletrack, followed by a fantastic technical descent, 99% rideable, 100% pure fun. It was the kind of trail you always hope to find when you're exploring new trails, almost like it had been made for bikes. I was in my element. It's for days and moments like this that I ride my bike….an awesome ride and adventure, on an engaging, exhilarating trail, with great, like-minded people, in a wild and special place amidst dramatic scenery. There were smiles for miles by the time we got to the bottom and headed back to where we'd left our vans a couple of days before.
Our trip was only a mini adventure, but that's all we all needed to come back feeling refreshed, energised, and inspired for more. In fact, in 3 days we rode a grand total of 15 miles, but boy did it feel a lot bigger and like we got a lot further away.
It just goes to show though, that adventures don't all have to be huge, monumental, daunting challenges that take weeks to plan, to feel like you've had a giant break from normality. They may not even feel worthy of being called an "adventure"….but the beauty of adventure is that it means different things to different people.
For me it means stepping outside of your comfort zone, away from the things you know and that make life easy, doing something different from your "normal", challenging yourself, taking on something that scares you, going somewhere that excites you, that may have risks and almost certainly has an uncertain outcome. Something that you might not complete, or finish, where you may have to turn back, or alter your plans. Something that'll leave you with a sense of reward or satisfaction, or achievement.
Whatever and wherever your adventures are, they are always good for the soul, and we should all seek to take them once in a while. I think John Muir knew what I was trying to say about this….
Biking to bothies is a great way to have a micro adventure and a way to explore some of the wild places that do still exist in our little country. All it takes is a will to want to do it and the motivation to make it happen.
Selfishly, I'm not going to tell you exactly where we rode or on what trails….Scotland is full of spectacular places and half the fun of adventures is going to explore and find your own hidden gems! So get out there and go and explore!!
We hope this has inspired you to get out there on your own bothy adventure, we know it's got us planning our next adventure.

205 Live (January 16, 2018)
Laredo Energy Arena
205 Live #60
The January 16, 2018 Edition of 205 Live is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE, which took place at the Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Texas on January 16, 2018.
After a shocking loss to Gran Metalik in last week's Cruiserweight Classic Final rematch on WWE 205 Live, TJP demanded a rematch with the luchador. As soon as the opening bell sounded, The Duke of Dab charged forward, wasting no time attacking his opponent and leveraging his speed to enjoy an early advantage. However, The King of the Ropes quickly struck back, showing off his own speed and agility and driving TJP from the ring before flattening him with a breathtaking moonsault to the outside.
Recovering from the masked Superstar's offensive onslaught and taking his opponent down with a dropkick to the back, The Fil-Am Flash took a technical approach in an effort to keep Metalik grounded. The two Cruiserweights continued to battle back and forth with Metalik taking control by walking the ropes and executing precisely timed high-flying maneuvers.
The inaugural Cruiserweight Champion remained in the fight, countering a Metalik driver, but TJP soon found his own maneuver reversed into a pinfall, giving Metalik the victory. For the second week in a row, TJP was left flabbergasted by a loss to Gran Metalik, and his illustrious comeback was yet again derailed.
Addressing Hideo Itami, Gentleman Jack Gallagher revealed that he has been tortured by the thought of his mentor and friend The Brian Kendrick being injured by Itami, and also, the fact that he grossly underestimated the Japanese Superstar. However, Gallagher revealed that he has plans to deal with his nemesis, and he will make Itami regret ever setting foot on WWE 205 Live.
With his Royal Rumble Match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Enzo Amore on the horizon, Cedric Alexander made his way to the ring alongside his mentor, Goldust. The Bizarre One expressed his admiration for Alexander and celebrated his golden opportunity to dethrone Enzo Amore. As the two Superstars exchanged pleasantries, WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore – flanked by The Zo Train – exchanged harsh words with Goldust. The former Intercontinental Champion didn't take kindly to Enzo's claim that he's a bigger star, and The Bizarre One challenged Muscles Marinara.
However, feeling that Goldust didn't deserve a match with him, The Certified G instead challenged Goldust to take on Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari and Drew Gulak in a Handicap Match.
Accepting the challenge, The Bizarre One leveled his smaller opponents until the numbers game put him at a disadvantage. Although The Zo Train appeared to have control of the contest, their constant bickering – mixed with The Certified G's non-stop yelling – led to miscommunications and opportunities for Goldust to regain momentum.
The cracks in the foundation of The Zo Train finally manifested on the outside when Nese attempted a high-flying maneuver, but Goldust moved, and The Premier Athlete instead took down Daivari. Upset with the performance of his compatriots, Enzo berated Daivari and Nese only to be taken down himself by Alexander.
Watching in disbelief from the ring, Gulak turned around to find a waiting Goldust, who executed the Final Cut for the victory.

The results described above constitute quite an achievement for one century, but it leaves us with one fundamental contradiction that still needs to be resolved. General relativity and quantum field theory are incompatible. Many theorical physicists are convinced that superstring theory will provide the answer. There have been major advances in our understanding of this subject, which I consider to constitute the ``second superstring revolution,'' during the past few years.
After presenting some more background, I will describe the recent developments and their implications.
There are various problems that arise when one attempts to combine general relativity and quantum field theory. The field theorist would point to the breakdown of the usual procedure for eliminating infinities from calculations of physical quantities. This procedure is called "renormalization", and when it fails the theory is said to be "non-renormalizable."
In such theories the short-distance behaviour of interactions is so singular that it is not possible to carry out meaningful calculations. By replacing point-like particles with one-dimensional extended strings, as the fundamental objects, superstring theory overcomes the problem of non-renormalizability.
An expert in general relativity might point to a different set of problems such as the issue of how to understand the causal structure of space-time when the geometry has quantum-mechanical excitations. There are also a host of problems associated to black holes such as the fundamental origin of their thermodynamic properties and their apparent incompatibility with quantum mechanics. The latter, if true, would mean that a modification in the basic structure of quantum mechanics is required.
In fact, superstring theory does not modify quantum mechanics; rather, it modifies general relativity. The relativist's set of issues cannot be addressed properly in the usual approach to quantum field theory (perturbation theory), but the recent discoveries are leading to non-perturbative understandings that should help in addressing them.
Most string theorists expect that the theory will provide satisfying resolutions of these problems without any revision in the basic structure of quantum mechanics. Indeed, there are indications that someday quantum mechanics will be viewed as an implication (or at least a necessary ingredient) of superstring theory.
When a new theoretical edifice is proposed, it is very desirable to identify distinctive testable experimental predictions. In the case of superstring theory there have been no detailed computations of the properties of elementary particles or the structure of the universe that are convincing, though many valiant attempts have been made.
In my opinion, success in such enterprises requires a better understanding of the theory than has been achieved as yet. It is very difficult to assess whether this level of understanding is just around the corner or whether it will take many decades and several more revolutions.
In the absence of this kind of confirmation, we can point to three qualitative "predictions" of superstring theory. The first is the existence of gravitation, approximated at low energies by general relativity. No other quantum theory can claim to have this property (and I suspect that no other ever will).
The second is the fact that superstring solutions generally include Yang--Mills gauge theories like those that make up the "standard model" of elementary particles.

Cockles and Mussels, also known as Molly Malone or In Dublin's Fair City, is a popular song thought to have been first published in Boston, MA, in 1876, in a collection of college songs. The 1884 London version, published by Francis Brothers & Day, lists the piece as a comic song composed by James Yorkston. The piece is especially beloved in the city of Dublin, where a statue of Molly Malone has been erected on Grafton Street.
Judith Ross, founder and director of the Massachusetts Harp Ensemble, has created numerous mixed level harp arrangements over the years. She welcomes harpists of all levels of expertise into her ensemble, so most of her arrangements are designed to include parts of different levels of difficulty. That way, anyone can have a chance to participate and join in the fun. The Massachusetts Harp Ensemble is a Boston area treasure, enjoyed and appreciated by local harp students and their teachers, many of whom are already familiar with Ms. Ross' arrangements in manuscript form. Now some of these works are available to the broader harp community as new, typeset editions prepared by Noteworthy Sheet Music.

It's very easy, there is a lot of support available through the main website as well as face book and twitter and I've found them very healthful. The focus is not only on the NS food but building other healthy habits to keep off what you lose.
My best suggestion is the ask Nutrisystem directly on face book http: I would definitely contact them, seven pounds is doable but it might take you more or less then a month. Those are things NS can help with. I've lost about 10 pounds so far in a little over a month and have been really happy with Nutrisystem. I'm doing the vegetarian plan and love how many choices I have as opposed to other plans I've seen.
I would call customer service — or use the Nutrisystem contact page to open up a live chat with a representative — you can do that here: I cancelled my account on 8;17 a. It is the 16th of April and their still not here.
I did not get an answer the other times. I have had an absolute nightmare with Nutrisystems. The next day I find out not only have they shipped a full order at full price, but they had shipped the partial as well. I tried calling in several times and when I was able to get someone live they were rude then put me on hold forever. I am still unable to get someone live? I do not pay for something I am not buying.


Sedimenting and sheared bidisperse homogeneous suspensions of non-Brownian particles are investigated by numerical simulations in the limit of vanishing small Reynolds number and negligible inertia of the particles. The numerical approach is based on the solution of the three-dimensional Stokes equations forced by the presence of the dispersed phase. Multi-body hydrodynamic interactions are achieved by a low order multipole expansion of the velocity perturbation. The accuracy of the model is validated on analytic solutions of generic flow configurations involving a pair of particles. The first part of the paper aims at investigating the dynamics of monodisperse and bidisperse suspensions embedded in a linear shear flow. The macroscopic transport properties due to hydrodynamic and non hydrodynamic interactions (short range repulsion force) show good agreement with previous theoretical and experimental works on homogeneous monodisperse particles. Increasing the volumetric concentration of the suspension leads to an enhancement of particle fluctuations and self-diffusion. The velocity fluctuation tensor scales linearly up to 15% concentration. Multi-body interactions weaken the correlation of velocity fluctuations and lead to a diffusion like motion of the particles. Probability density functions show a clear transition from Gaussian to exponential tails while the concentration decreases. The behavior of bidisperse suspensions is more complicated, since the respective amount of small and large particles modifies the overall response of the flow. Our simulations show that, for a given concentration of both species, when the size ratio varies from 1 to 2.5, the fluctuation level of the small particles is strongly enhanced. A similar trend is observed on the evolution of the shear induced self-diffusion coefficient. Thus for a fixed and total concentration, increasing the respective volume fraction of large particles can double the velocity fluctuation of small particles. In the second part of the paper, the sedimentation of a single test particle embedded in a suspension of monodisperse particles allows the determination of basic hydrodynamic interactions involved in a bidisperse suspension. Good agreement is achieved when comparing the mean settling velocity and fluctuations levels of the test sphere with experiments. Two distinct behaviors are observed depending on the physical properties of the particle. The Lagrangian velocity autocorrelation function has a negative region when the test particle has a settling velocity twice as large as the reference velocity of the surrounding suspension. The test particle settles with a zig-zag vertical trajectory while a strong reduction of horizontal dispersion occurs. Then, several configurations of bidisperse settling suspensions are investigated. Mean velocity depends on concentration of both species, density ratio and size ratio. Results are compared with theoretical predictions at low concentration and empirical correlations when the assumption of a dilute regime is no longer valid. For particular configurations, a segregation instability sets in. Columnar patterns tend to collect particles of the same species and eventually a complete separation of the suspension is observed. The instability threshold is compared with experiments in the case of suspensions of buoyant and heavy spheres. The basic features are well reproduced by the simulation model.

Modern lifestyle presents great challenges to the individual to engage in regular exercise. Long working hours, frequent travel, ease of personal transport and adverse weather conditions are all factors which contribute to this problem.
Cardiovascular disease including heart attack and stroke.
There are many benefits to regular physical exercise. The recommendation for an ideal regime is 30 minutes five times a week of physical activity which will make an individual feel sweaty, slightly short of breath and increase the heart rate.
The exercise regime should be tailored to the individual needs. For some, a regular walk is as good as playing a sport. Other types of regular activities include gardening, swimming, or attending a gym or keep-fit class . Other tips for increasing physical activity include using the stairs instead of lifts, walking up a moving escalator, and walking rather than driving for short distances.
Reducing the chances of developing diabetes and obesity.
At Lotus Healthcare, we will advise you on the right solution for your individual needs and guide you to the appropriate experts in this field.

The Bigger Bubbl with James Eddleston of GigList
By:Andrea Cutts18.12.19
Author: Andrea Cutts18th December, 2019

"Live music is the cure for what ails ya."
Well, what a crazy old year this has been!
A lot of things are broken. A lot of people are unhappy. Hell, a lot of people are bloody furious.
There's a new breed of anxiety that exists within our collective consciousness. We like to think we're more aware of things, that we're "woke", as they say. Personally, I just think we all worry more about more things. Mainly because we keep getting told to worry about more things, more of the time.
Better click on this article, this seems worrying! Oh, look, a discount for Papa Johns!
Am I implying that media creates friction with outrageous headlines and divisive content in order to engage a fearful audience and therefore give advertisers higher numbers to aim at whilst also influencing society's political and moral outlook?
Damn right I am.
2020 in opticians' terms means full clarity of sight.
Let's remember that and see things more clearly for what they are. This also goes for what we hear.
If it looks and sounds like bullshit….
I think it's time we stopped looking at the world through a screen and stepped outside our own front doors and took a look around.
Kanye will still be there when you get back, don't worry.
As a lifelong music obsessive and musician, I have watched as "progress" has shut down countless venues in towns that needed them as a hub for the communities of budding artists, thinkers, creatives and misfits.
I know my life would have been drastically different if I didn't have my local music community when I was growing up. Screaming fuck you down a microphone is much more productive than doing it in the face of a policeman…I'd imagine.
But wait, this isn't a doom and gloom clickbait advertorial word spew for you get upset about. This is a story of hope.
I played my final show of the year the other night and shared the stage with a few other bands who entertained our beautiful audience of sweaty angels and felt the same joy I felt at my first ever performance as a spotty 16 year old.
This is the basic interaction we have enjoyed as humans forever. Being together and sharing a moment. Whatever your opinions on this year's events, I am sure we all agree we need to share more moments together.
I had a phone call the other week with today's Bigger Bubbl guest and we spoke for much longer than a normal work-related call would last. This man is a kindred spirit, a positive energy in a world hellbent on reducing all of us to lifeless gristle.
James Eddleston saw the need to help local grassroots venues and identified a lack of a national, centralised location to inform fans and fellow bands of events happening in their area. Obviously, my Bubbl head immediately knew we could help to deliver info based on location, hence the reason we had a call (I do actually work as well as writing my mad rambles).
I wasn't expecting to be so inspired by him and his journey. My back was sore so I didn't stand on my desk shouting "Captain, my captain!" but I was definitely buzzing about seeing Giglist soar and become part of grassroots music.
James, I salute you and will be supporting you in 2020 and beyond.
Eat a mince pie and read this interview. It will bring you joy and it will give you hope:
1. What is Giglist and how did it come about?
GigList is a platform that aims to provide music fans around the world a single place to find events. It came about when I kept missing gigs that I would have liked to have attended if I'd known about them. After a bit of digging around, I realised that in the information age it's actually a lot harder to find out what events are taking place around you. We wanted to create a site that focuses not on the transaction of ticket sales, but more on the information that fans want to see. It's a work in progress, of course, but our vision is to create the world's what's on guide for music.
2. What challenges does the live music industry face, especially at grassroots level?
I think the streaming and content side of the business is pretty healthy, with the mechanics in place to support a lot more artists than previously. I think the real challenges are on the live side of the industry. Live touring is where most acts can make a genuine career, but finding new fans in a live setting is much harder than it used to be. Quite often gigs are competing against other entertainment options – like the movies or eating out, as it's no longer a cheap option, and there aren't as many vehicles to promote and highlight new acts. Plus, smaller venues are still struggling with closures taking place across the country. Finding a platform that enables smaller venues and newer artists to make tangible connections with fans is vital. This is what we're trying to deliver, with GigList.
3. How is tech contributing to the live music experience for fans? (ticketing, live stream etc)
The live music space is probably a late adopter to technology, which has driven huge disruption in industries like financial services or retail. As a technologist at heart, I believe there is a huge amount of legacy left in the industry that tech can improve for fans. Ticketing has been a contentious point for some time, and there are a number of companies out there exploring options to eradicate the reseller market quickly – such our friends at True Tickets are exploring through the use of Blockchain. Location technology like Bubbl is very interesting too, particularly for those grassroots venues to build engagement, and with tourists and visitors. The potential to use things like live streaming and VR to expand the reach and experience of a gig worldwide is also pretty interesting, although it can't really replicate the energy of a live audience. Fundamentally though, what really needs to shift is the adoption and acceptance of technology and what it can bring to the industry, which, as I said still has a lot of legacy in how it operates.
4. Is it more difficult for artists to gain a following now, compared to the pre social media days of bands like Oasis, or are is it simply that the challenges are different?
I think the way in which we are exposed to, and consume all content forms is vastly different. Technology advances have meant that people access various types of content on the move and in a continuous stream. Music is no different. That means that instead of just competing for airwaves against other artists, they now have to compete for eye (or ear) space against everything. Social media is a great way of engaging with existing fans, but I'm somewhat doubtful it works to win new ones. Ultimately, artists today have to understand how to brand and market themselves for a much more savvy audience, whereas bands like Oasis innately knew about their brand, but were probably less aware of how to take that brand to market.
5. How important are live music venues for local communities outside of bigger places like London?
Absolutely vital. I think the grassroots and smaller venues are the lifeblood of the industry and unfortunately, with the rising taxes on alcohol and business rates, it's getting harder and harder for them to make a living. I guess that's why there's been a raft of alternative temporary venues, such as churches, laundrettes and bookshops in recent years playing host to fantastic music. However, outside of the main cities, it's hard, as potential audiences are smaller or have to travel further, but places like the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge show that with the right bookings it's possible to thrive.
6. What is your dream for GigList?
For us, GigList is our attempt to create genuine value, not only for the fans but also for the parts of the industry that need support. Our dream is to create something globally that offers symbiotic value to the fan and the industry and seeks to bring them closer together.
7. Speaking of dreams, if you could be anyone in any band at any gig or any year – who, what, where and why?
Phew. I think I'd avoid being any of my main heroes like Lennon, Jim Morrison or Robert Plant as it'd ruin it for me, but being James Brown at the Apollo in New York in 1963 sounds like it could be a LOT of fun!
Thanks James!

Much like the Quidditch player, the Seeker, in the books, you've been seeking that special someone your whole life, so giving the Snitch is only fitting. Although the one in the wizarding school game is very hard to catch because it's so fast and difficult to see, you'll have already caught your treasure.
Is that special someone the one you want to keep forever? Then you should fashion a keepsake box. This is an ideal place to store mementos of a special time, event or person – and your proposal encompasses all three. Craft your box out of polished wood with separate sections for each of your rings. Personalize it by carving out you and your sweetheart's names, or sketching out a design that holds significant value to the both of you. Give it a creative flair by adding pictures of the two of you underneath the rings. Isn't it just the sweetest?
This oyster shell holder contains something sure to surprise your sweetheart – and no, you won't be required to dive deep for this. When your significant other opens the shell they won't find a pearl, but, instead they will be presented with a symbol of your undying love. If you want to wow your partner, then this box is definitely for you – and it's easy to create. Simply take an empty oyster shell and spray it with a metallic spray that complements the colors of the engagement ring. This one's seaside motif makes it ideal for summer proposals. Watch as your beloved's eyes sparkle as you drop to one knee and present this!
The person you're about to propose to is everything you want and everything you need.

Just as a garden continues to grow, your love for each other will do the same. Show a precious representation of your eternal devotion to each other by presenting the engagement ring in the center of this romantic secret garden box of love.

To start with, any sound investment requires a little luck, but mostly a good eye and an analytical mind. An even better established investment requires all of these, as well to be a knack for selecting a committed, trustworthy and well-informed partner. Prime district property in Singapore has no lack of typical property agents who are prepared introduce a list of properties from which to buy and also to help seal off a deal competently. But agents sometimes pack along a regarding profession ills — a tendency to hard-sell by bombarding clients with uninvited offers, no commitment to the long-term interest in the property and a fixation on sealing a deal as fast as possible with little regard for clients' interests.
On the other hand, an ideal working relationship is with someone who goes beyond the expectations of an agent. He has an efficient and trusted property agent, but is also one who pays focus to market trends and price movements, who analyses and follows up on new inquiries, and who casts a wide net each buyers and sellers of different expectations i.e. someone in which has had first-hand experience with buying and selling and behaves as an investor himself.
The CEHA stands for Common Examination for Housing Agents. This is an accreditation scheme for auctions and agencies that has been place since 2005. The CEHA is introduced by ways with this Singapore Accreditation Estate Agency Scheme (SAEA). The Institute of Auctions (IEA) and the Singapore Institute of Surveyors and Valuers (SISV) jointly run certainly and Fourth Avenue Residences Bukit timah are supported with the Ministry of Finance, Housing and Development Board and the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore. The SAEA sets guidelines, minimum educational and exercise standards for agents, coming from the requirement that they pass expert examination. A strict code of conduct is also observed. The aims of the scheme should be raise professional standards in providing a nicer service to homebuyers and sellers.
An agent should often be willing to keep clients' monies i.e. option or deposit monies, in the separate banking account from their particular. On top of the technicality that clients' monies are held on trust through estate agent, an understanding agent ought to always be ready for taking more measures to stay away from the instances of the wrongful refusal to refund clients' deposits i.e. rental deposits.
To prevent fee undercutting, professional estate agencies/agents usually observe a prescribed scale of costs. In the context of Singapore, a fee of 2% belonging to the sale price is recommended along with SISV, which is further subject as small as possible of S$500. Furthermore, the commission/fee for project marketing is negotiated. The Institute of Estate Agents makes recommendations several types of properties/projects. With an agent must be forthcoming with information on all kinds of recommended fees.
For example, for private properties, the owner pays at minimum 2% for this contracted cost. The buyer pays 1% as finder's fee, if a credit repair professional is represented by a stimulus. An agency shall not be accepting any commission/fee from both buying and selling parties in the same transaction, without knowledge and consent of the parties.
For project marketing with the sale and get of beyond what four units, commission/fee will be negotiable. The commission becomes due immediately upon finishing of sales and obtain or as otherwise agreed between the parties.

Is Plant-Based Labeling Misleading Consumers?
By Victoria Campisi
Dean Foods will leave the International Dairy Foods Association over plant-based dairy labeling, reported Wisconsin State Farmer (Oct. 8).
It claims the association "has been unable to reach consensus and take a stance" on the issue of plant-based alternatives using dairy terms to promote products. "We believe it is wrong that many plant-based products are currently marketed using milk's good name yet are lacking several of the inherent nutrients of their dairy counterparts," the company wrote in a press release.
The company decided it can no longer financially support "an organization that is not behind one of [its] core priorities." Dean will divert its advocacy resources to pursuing accurate product labeling for the benefit of the dairy industry, including farmers, processors and consumers around the U.S.
This isn't the first time plant-based labeling has become an issue. As a rise in plant-based meat and dairy substitutes continues to grow, how to label the items is a topic of debate amongst manufacturers.
Recently, a federal judge blocked a Missouri law targeting fake meat, reported St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Oct. 4). Missouri lawmakers approved the new law in 2018 as part of changes to state agriculture and conservation laws. The meat provision states that if a product isn't derived from an actual cow, chicken, turkey or some other animal with two or four feet, it can't be marketed as meat.
Supporters of the law said the measure would protect ranchers, pork producers and the state's chicken and turkey farmers from a rise in popularity of meat alternative products such as the Impossible Burger. The law gives the Missouri Department of Agriculture the ability to investigate and refer potential labeling violations to the Attorney General's office or a county prosecutor.
However, the judge said he would not issue a preliminary injunction to bar agriculture officials from enforcing a law requiring companies selling veggie-based meat substitutes to label their products as plant-based or laboratory-grown.
Turtle Island Foods, which produces the Tofurky brand of products, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Good Food Institute, appealed the decision.
In Arkansas, a bill requiring "truth in labeling" for edible agricultural products was approved in March as the ranching and farming industries sought to protect their brands from being confused with the many plant-based items cropping up on supermarket shelves, reported The Washington Times (Oct. 7).
ACLU attorneys went to federal court on behalf of Tofurky seeking to block the Arkansas law. Tofurky CEO Jaime Athos argued consumers opt for such foods "not because they are confused or misled, but because they are savvy and educated about the health and environmental consequences of eating animal products."
"Phrases like 'veggie burger' are well-established in common vernacular and help consumers choose a plant-based alternative that works best for their favorite dishes," he said. "We hope to block this unconstitutional law from being enforced so that consumers can continue to have access to familiar plant-based products in Arkansas, and ultimately across the U.S."

Q: Loop through a list of dictionaries and return another list in ansible Let's say I have this list:
myList
- name: Bob
  age: 25
- name: Alice
  age: 18
- name: Bryan
  age: 20

All I want is to loop through myList and get a list of names and set it to a variable nameList:
nameList
- name: Bob
- name: Alice
- name: Bryan

Is there a short syntax for this in ansible?

A: If you need a list of dictionaries with single name key (as in your example, then:
{{ myList | map('json_query','{name:name}') | list }}

This results in:
[
  { "name": "Bob" },
  { "name": "Alice" },
  { "name": "Bryan" }
]

If you need plain list of names:
{{ myList | map(attribute='name') | list }}

This results in:
[ "Bob", "Alice", "Bryan" ]

Q: Large VIRT memory in Fortran I have a large Fortran/MPI code that when running uses a very large amount of VIRT memory (~20G) although the actual memory used (500 mb) is quite modest.
How can I profile the code to understand which part produces this huge VIRT memory?
At this stage, I'm even happy to use a brute force approach.
What I have tried is to put sleep statements in the code and recorded the memory usage through "top" to try to pin-point by bisection where the big allocation are.
However, this does not work as the sleep call puts the memory usage to 0. Is there a way to freeze the code while keeping current memory usage?
PS: I have tried VALGRIND but the code being so large, VALGRIND never finished. Is there an alternative to VALGRIND that is "easy" to used?
Thank you,
Sam

A: A solution for this is this modified (to get VIRT memory) subroutine from Track memory usage in Fortran 90
subroutine system_mem_usage(valueRSS)
use ifport !if on intel compiler
implicit none
integer, intent(out) :: valueRSS

character(len=200):: filename=' '
character(len=80) :: line
character(len=8)  :: pid_char=' '
integer :: pid
logical :: ifxst

valueRSS=-1    ! return negative number if not found

!--- get process ID

pid=getpid()
write(pid_char,'(I8)') pid
filename='/proc/'//trim(adjustl(pid_char))//'/status'

!--- read system file

inquire (file=filename,exist=ifxst)
if (.not.ifxst) then
  write (*,*) 'system file does not exist'
  return
endif

open(unit=100, file=filename, action='read')
do
  read (100,'(a)',end=120) line
  if (line(1:7).eq.'VmSize:') then
     read (line(8:),*) valueRSS
     exit
  endif
enddo
120 continue
close(100)

return
end subroutine system_mem_usage


Daniel is framed in silhouette as he gazes out at the passing clouds through an aeroplane window. The picture went viral on social media in October 2016. It probably helped that Daniel is a duck, or more specifically, an emotional support duck. His owner says he helps her cope with post-traumatic stress disorder.
In the US, an animal can often board a flight as long as a doctor has signed a letter stating it helps its owner deal with a medical condition. Delta Air Lines carried 250,000 such animals in 2017 – up 150 per cent on 2015. Most are dogs, but the increasingly exotic menagerie includes pigs, hamsters and peacocks.
A recent rise in media reports about emotional support animals has brought me to John Bradshaw. He studies anthrozoology, or the ways in which humans and animals interact, at the University of Bristol, UK. I have come to find out if animals really can help people with mental illness, and if so, how?


True Digital Communications created a promotional video on DAP Products Inc. new insulating foam The challenged that was faced was that the product did not exist yet. True created animations and drawings of the product instead of live product demos and the drawings strategically related to the products features and benefits. The video was launched and audiences had easy access to the product before it even began.
DAP Products Inc., is a leader in sealants, adhesives and insulating foam products. So it was no surprise when the company developed a new insulating foam unlike anything else on the market. The challenge arose when True Digital Communications was asked to create a promotional video to build excitement before DRAFTSTOP 812 Stop 'n' Store foam launched. The problem? The product didn't exist yet. It was still in production and no cans were available for filming.
With no product images to use, True strategically created a script that involved animations and drawings, instead of live product demos. Using whiteboard-style animation, True developed a series of examples and analogies accompanied by drawings that strategically relate to product features and benefits.
True wrote the script, developed a storyboard and coordinated production of a video that went live on DAP's YouTube channel before the product launched. Within a couple weeks, the video was complete. Sales people and contractors had easy access to the story of DAP Draftstop 812 Stop 'n' Store foam before it even began.

Congress expands 'unmasking' probe amid questions over Rice role

If It Walks Like A Duck…
An enormous amount has already been written about the Obama Administration's coopting of American intelligence agencies for the domestic surveillance of members of the Trump campaign and eventual transition team. Virtually none of that has been written by the mainstream media, who have actually categorized it a non or false story, preferring instead to beat the long dead horse of Trump collaboration with Russia. Fox News has been the media leader in accurately reporting that particular, ever-expanding story. Fox now adds to the mounting revelations and evidence:

The House and Senate intelligence committees are expanding their investigation into the so-called "unmasking" controversy, Fox News has learned, to examine whether other candidates or lawmakers beyond President Trump's associates were affected.
Until now, the investigation focused on how the identities and communications of Trump transition members were collected by U.S. intelligence agencies and then revealed to, and disseminated among, high-ranking members of the Obama administration.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., now plans to audit files from the National Security Agency and White House to determine whether identities and conversations of presidential candidates — or members of Congress — also were swept up during NSA surveillance of foreign leaders. He also plans to review whether Obama's National Security Council and White House counsel collected and distributed the intelligence for reasons unrelated to foreign intelligence.
"We will be performing an accounting of all unmasking for political purposes focused on the previous White House administration," a member of the committee told Fox News. "This is now a full-blown investigation."
Staffers on the Senate committee told Fox News they also have expanded their investigation into whether presidential candidates were unmasked and information was misused — and what role former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, among others, played following reports that she requested Trump-affiliated names be unmasked.
For a private U.S. citizen to be "unmasked," or named, in an intelligence report is extremely rare and typically only done if it has some foreign intelligence value. Typically, the American is a suspect in a crime, is in danger or has to be named to explain the context of the report.
The intelligence reports that Rice and others in the administration reportedly assembled are similar to what a private investigator might piece together, congressional and U.S. intelligence sources said. In some cases, rather than documenting foreign intelligence, the files included salacious personal information that, if released, could be embarrassing or harmful to the person's reputation, U.S. intelligence and House Intelligence Committee sources said.
These reports were then disseminated to about 20 to 30 people who had classified clearance in the Obama administration hierarchy, these sources said.
Trump, members of his family, and members of his campaign and transition teams, were likely subjects of "incidental electronic surveillance" by U.S. intelligence agencies, Fox News reported.
Sources told Fox News that names were then sent to all those at the National Security Council, some at the Defense Department, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and then-CIA Director John Brennan — as well as Rice and her former deputy Ben Rhodes, even though the names were supposed to be reported only to the initial requester.
If the names were unmasked in intelligence reports and then leaked to the media for political reasons, it could constitute criminal behavior.
Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump's initial national security adviser, is one known example of a Trump campaign official whose name was unmasked from an intelligence report and leaked to the press. While Rice hasn't said whether she unmasked Flynn, the leak of his conversation with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak where he discussed U.S. sanctions led Flynn to resign three weeks into his term.
Nunes first announced on March 22 that he'd viewed intelligence reports that contained incidental surveillance on members of the Trump team.
On Tuesday, The Washington Post reported former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page also was monitored by the FBI after the agency obtained a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant as part of an ongoing investigation into possible links between Russian officials and members of the Trump campaign.
In a statement to Fox News, Page said he has done nothing wrong and was a political target.

While writing Will , please include these important points.
1 ) Where ever ( Testator ) made Nominations , the Nominee / s would be the sole heirs.
2 ) In case , any one of the legatees pre deceases( Testator ) in that case that share would not lapse but would , instead , devolve on the Legal heirs of that Legatee.
Nominee ( except in case of shares and most probably , now , in Insurance policies ( please recheck ) - is only a Trustee. Real owner is as per the Will.
It is very important to remember that , in case of Mutual Funds / Fixed Deposits , nominee is only a representative / Trustee on behalf of the heirs .
A Will or Natural succession in the absence of a Will would determine who would inherit the Mutual Funds.
Best is make a Will and write in it " THAT WHERE EVER I HAVE MADE NOMINATIONS OR THERE ARE JOINT HOLDERS THEN THOSE NOMINEE / S OR THE SURVIVING JOINT HOLDERS WOULD BE EXCLUSIVE BENEFICIARIES "
IN CASE THE NOMINEE PREDECEASES THE HOLDER THEN THE NOMINATION STANDS CANCELLED . IT DOES NOT PASS ON TO THE HEIRS OF THE NOMINEE.
All rulings are stating that ( particularly in Co-op Housing Flats etc ) that Nominee is only a Trustee on behalf of all the heirs , Further it has been ruled that Co-operative Societies cannot invent their own rules of Succession.Either the succession is Testamentary ( through Will )or Intestate ( Succession Laws ). No third option.
In our one case , the Trial Court granted Probate on a Photostat copy of an Unregistered Will.
BACKGROUND:If a Will is lost, what is the remedy available to the Heirs?
CASE BRIEF:"Section 237. Probate of copy or draft of lost Will-When a Will has been lost or mislaid post the testator's death, or has been destroyed by wrong or accident and not by any act of the testator, and a copy or the draft of the Will has been preserved, probate may be granted of such copy or draft, limited until the original or a properly authenticated copy of it is produced.".
All Written Wills ( registered or not registered ) are , legally , categorised as UNPRIVILEGED Wills.
Privileged Wills ( even Oral ) are available only to soldiers.

Government won't get the skilled construction industry employees it needs for KiwiBuild and other long term housing projects while its tertiary education framework treats trades qualifications as second class citizens.
This is the opinion of Warwick Quinn, chief executive of New Zealand's largest construction trade training organisation, BCITO. Quinn says the current review of the New Zealand Qualifications Framework - NZQF - needs to urgently address the issue of vocational training.
Quinn's call to government comes as Housing Minister Phil Twyford is under pressure after revealing only 300 KiwiBuild homes will be finished by July, as against a target of 1,000. That leaves the government already behind on targets which include 5,000 houses the following year, and 10,000 a year after that, up to a total of 100,000.
A shortage of skilled workers is only one problem, but it's an important one.
Quinn says the view of vocational training as 'what you do if you aren't bright enough for university' has to change - and he is putting that view to the government.
Submissions on the NZQF closed on Dec. 14 last year, and a report from the NZ Qualifications Authority is due later in February.
Quinn says under the current NZQA framework, a basic trade qualification sits at Level 4 and advanced trade qualifications at Level 5 and 6, while a Bachelor's degree sits at Level 7.
New Zealand will need some 80,000 new construction workers over the next five years to build the houses and other projects being planned, including KiwiBuild, Quinn says. Approximately half of these - or around 40,000 people - need a vocational qualification.
The trouble is that BCITO estimates that if nothing changes, only about 12,500 newly-qualified apprentices and trainees will enter the workforce over the next five years.
Quinn says several European and Asian countries, including Germany, Scotland and Singapore, have revamped their qualifications frameworks so there are two parallel pathways to senior positions in, say, the construction, engineering or manufacturing fields. One is an academic route, the other via vocational training.
"In these countries, the vocational pathway is seen as equally valuable and prestigious as the academic pathway."
Not so in New Zealand, where an inter-generational bias against vocational training is strong, he says. At the moment, only 2.5 percent of people going into apprenticeship courses come straight from school; 30 percent have been to university. That means a whole group of students are racking up students loans doing a degree, and then going into vocational training anyway.
"We're not saying don't go to university, but we are saying don't write trades off as an inferior second choice. Instead, see it as a different pathway to get qualifications and to be successful.
Quinn would like to see 4,000 qualified construction industry people coming out of four-year apprenticeships each year, up from 2,500 at present. This would boost the locally-trained workforce by 20,000 over five years. Government figures show the construction sector employed about 244,800 in the September quarter last year.

The History Of American Football
Association football, also called simply football, is a well-known team game played between two teams of eleven players each. It is played internationally by about 250 million players worldwide, making it the most popular sport in the world. This game is one of the most well-known sports in history. It has also become an integral part of many nations' social and political life. It can be considered to have an international following, especially in countries with large populations that follow different sporting trends. The game is a well-known icon of the global sports culture.
The origin of the game can be traced back to the French monarchy. The game was modified from the ancient rugby game and soon became known as "frisbee". This flippy and hardy game has since been adapted into many different forms and variations. While rugby has largely remained the favorite game for athletes, football has surged ahead as the sport of choice for many people. As its popularity increased, football began to take on a new form.
Professional football evolved in America during the nineteenth century. The first professional football games were played between European and American professional football teams. As time passed and with the growth of the American industrial revolution, football became increasingly popular among many Americans, especially among the lower classes. The early football games consisted of little more than a standard square ball with three ends – two for passing and one for kicking.
The National Football League, better known as the NFL, began play in Division I football in the late nineteen hundreds. The very first match ever played between two teams this way was a charity game. The game was immediately successful, with teams scoring two goals in each half. As the NFL became a professional league with sixteen teams in total, this exhibition matches between lesser schools' teams became increasingly more popular. The National Football League today consists of four separate conferences with four teams per conference.
International football is another derivative of the American football. Although it has yet to attain the same level of popularity in the United States as the American game, it is quickly gaining fans all across the world. International football can be enjoyed by individuals of any nationality or ethnicity. There are even non-American teams playing in European leagues.
Finally, American football is simply American. It is built around the simple idea that two teams on each side will take a ball and attempt to kick it towards their opponents goal, hoping it will score. The sport is mostly played between two teams of eleven players each. Unlike many other sports, rugby is not based solely on the rules of collision and force – with little regard for whether the ball has touched any other part of the field, or even if it has crossed the invisible line. A nice example of this can be seen in the American football game, where the last kick of the match is taken from out of bounds, so that the referee may determine whether the ball has passed beyond the opposing team's goal.

Johannes Hahn, (Viena, 2 de diciembre de 1957) es un político austríaco del ámbito nacional y europeo. Ha sido ministro en diferentes gobiernos de su país y desde 2009 ha ocupado diferentes carteras como comisario europeo. Es miembro del Partido Popular Austríaco (ÖVP) y actual Comisario europeo de Presupuesto y Administración.

Biografía

Estudió en la Universidad de Viena donde consiguió doctorarse en Filosofía en 1987. Dos años después, empezó a trabajar en diversas empresas austriacas. Abandonó estos puestos para ejercer funciones de director administrativo del Partido Popular Austriaco de Viena. Cesó en estas funciones en 1997 al ser nombrado miembro del consejo de administración de Novomatic AG, del cual fue posteriormente presidente. Abandonó esas funciones en 2003.

Trayectoria política

Al interior de su partido y en el gobierno regional de Viena
Hahn presidió la sección de Viena de las Juventudes del Partido Popular Austríaco (ÖVP) de 1980 a 1985. Fue director administrativo del ÖVP en Viena entre 1992 y 1997 y se convirtió en concejal del ayuntamiento de Viena desde 1996. Fue portavoz del partido en los asuntos relacionados con la salud.

En 2002, fue elegido en vicepresidente del ÖVP vienés. Dos años después, ocupó la presidencia interina en 2004 y después fue elegido para el puesto en un congreso celebrado el 24 de junio de 2005.

Ocupó un asiento en el gobierno regional de Viena como ministro sin cartera del 26 de noviembre de 2003 al 11 de enero de 2007.

Gobierno de Austria

Ministro de Ciencia e Investigación

Gobierno Gusenbauer
Entonces fue nombrado ministro de Ciencia e Investigación en el gobierno de coalición dirigido por Alfred Gusenbauer. Bajo el mando de Hahn, el parlamento aprobó el 4 de julio de 2007 una ley sobre la remuneración igualitaria de los titulados en las altas escuelas especializadas y de aquellos universitarios en el estatus general de la función pública, asimilando así a todos los titulados en el sector público. Además, se creó el rango de «profesor extraprofesional» como categoría autónoma en la ley federal de las altas escuelas y consiguió un aumento del presupuesto de estas escuelas.

En 2007, el ministerio lanzó un nuevo programa de mensaje bajo el nombre de «Sparkling Science» cuyo objetivo era conseguir interesar a los adolescentes lo antes posibles en la ciencia y la investigación. En los proyectos del programa, los adolescentes conocían a los científicos de renombre para ocuparse junto de los campos de investigación activos. En los más de 100 proyectos menores y mayores, escolares y universitarios y científicos desarrollaron conceptos de investigación. Hasta 2009,  escolares han disfrutado del programa en el cual el ministerio ha invertido más de 8 millones de euros. Además, realizó dos enmiendas a la ley relativa a las beca]s que fijaba un montante de veinte millones de euros de gastos adicionales en un año en becas. Con un presupuesto total de 199,5 millones de euros, se aprobaron 49 500 bolsas para el curso 2008-2009. Desde 2000, los gastos dedicados a becas han pasado de 105 millones de euros a cerca de 200 millones.

Con las «medidas de visibilidad» del ministerio de Ciencias e Investigación en 2008, deseaba hacer visibles al gran público el gran número de mujeres en la ciencia y en la investigación. Las medidas comprendían formación para los medios y que estos hicieran hincapié en las actividades científicas realizadas por mujeres. Además, inició varios programas para la promoción de mujeres y así conseguir progresos ulteriores en la comisiones de nominación o Berufungskommissionen. Para realizar estos objetivos relativos a la promoción de las mujeres, nombró en octubre de 2009 a dos científicas en puestos de dirección: Sabine Ladstätter en el Instituto Arqueológico Austriaco (ÖAI) y a Irene Forstner-Müller a la cabeza de la oficina auxiliar de este instituto en El Cairo.

En octubre de 2008, tras dos años de construcción, Hahn inauguró el nuevo centro de biotecnología de la Universidad de Ciencias Agronómicas de Viena (BoKu), el Vienna Institute of BioTechnology (VIBT). De esta manera, la BoKu dispuso de 24 000 m² para su trabajo a nivel internacional en la investigación universitaria y privada, el desarrollo y la formación. Hahn consideraba el VIBT como un espacio esencial para la ciudad como polo de investigación.

Desde hace treinta años, los astrónomos austriacos han intentado conseguir apoyos de la clase política austriaca para adherirse al Observatorio Europeo del Sur, fracasando en la mayoría de las ocasiones debido a la incomprensión de los político sobre la investigación básica. En julio de 2008, Hahn consiguió la adhesión de Austria como decimocuarto miembro. Hahn estimó que la decisión era la más importante de la política de investigación en los últimos veinte años, no solo para los astrónomos, sino que también los físicos, los matemáticos, los informáticos y las empresas de alta tecnología iban a beneficiarse de ellos. Un cuarto de los gastos de adhesión fueron cubiertos por la cesión de alta tecnología, del software y del savoir faire.

Con la elección anual del mejor libro científico del año, Hahn y los libreros austriaco lanzaron una iniciativa en otoño para mejorar la imagen y, por consecuencia, la comunicación de los logros y éxitos científicos. En 2008, creó un «Premio a la Excelencia» («Award of Excellence») destinado a las mejores investigaciones del país, para homenajear el trabajo de los jóvenes científicos y hacerlos más conocidos al gran público. Tras una pausa de varios años, Hahn relanzó la «Larga noche de la Ciencia» en 2008 para trasmitir al público más entusiasmo e información sobre la investigación y dar una plataforma de los científicos.

Gobierno Faymann

Hahn fue revalidado como Ministro de Ciencia e Investigación el 2 de diciembre de 2008 en el gobierno de Werner Faymann. El 2009 marcó el inicio de la tercera fase del GEN-AU, el programa austriaco de investigación sobre el genoma que estaba subvencionado por el ministerio con 100 millones de euros hasta 2012. Los 58 proyectos de las dos primeras fases produjeron alrededor de 350 publicaciones científicas y alrededor de 30 patentes. Entre los científicos que participaron se encuentran nombres como Giulio Superti-Furga, Josef Penninger o Rudolf Zechner. En el marco de tercera fase, el acento se puso en los acercamientos biológicos sistemáticos. Según él, GEN-AU se estableció como motor de la competitividad de la investigación avanzada austriaca (Spitzenforschung).

En el sector del clima, reivindicó, a costa de las ciencias aplicadas y de la investigación económica, más medios independientes y, por consecuencia, perdurables para la ciencia básica y la ciencia de adaptación.

Tras las negociaciones en el Parlamento sobre el presupuesto científico en 2009-2010, anunció en mayo de 2009 su intención de poner punto final a la afiliación a la Organización Europea para la Investigación Nuclear a partir de 2010 por razones económicas. El pago anual de 16 millones de euros a la CERN representaba el 70% de los fondos destinados a la investigación, fondos que, según Hahn, podría utilizarse mejor en otros proyectos de cooperación científica para mejorar la excelencia nacional y la competitividad internacional, en otros campos como las ciencias sociales, las ciencias humanas, la biología, la medicina, la ciencia de los materiales, la física y la astronomía. Este anuncio supuso fuertes críticas por parte de científicos nacionales o internacionales entre los cuales se encontraban premios Nobel e inquietó también a la CERN debido a sus consecuencias potenciales. Según la comunidad científica austriaca, esta medida suponía, a medio y largo plazo, una amenaza a la ciencia básica en la física de partículas. El proyecto de terapia contra el cáncer «MedAustron» situado en la ciudad de Wiener Neustadt se vería comprometido por esta salida. El 28 de mayo de 2009, el canciller Werner Faymann puso fin al debate pronunciándose en contra de la salida de la CERN.

Austria mantiene relaciones científicas intensas con China, considerado uno de los países más ambiciosos en el campo de la investigación. Durante su visita en septiembre de 2009, Hahn señaló la importancia de la asociación científica. Con 26 asociaciones científicas, Austria es el país europeo mejor interconectado con una de las mejores universidades chinas, la Universidad Fudan en Shanghái, solo superado por los Estados Unidos y Japón.

Tras apoyar la investigación de los museos, Hahn presentó en otoño de 2009 el programa de ayuda «forMuse», con dos millones de euros de dotación. De los ochenta y dos proyectos presentados en total, se realizaron once en una primera fase. la prioridad fue para los proyectos de los grandes museos, como la colección antropológica del museo de historia natural, el análisis de los daños por el cobre en los manuscritos de la biblioteca nacional o la expropiación de coches por el régimen nazi en el museo técnico de Viena. En una segunda fase, se realizaron más pequeños proyectos.

Hahn propuso una ley sobre la financiación de la ciencia y la investigación para determinar el presupuesto científico del Estado federal hasta 2020. En consecuencia, los gastos públicos para la investigación y el desarrollo pasaron de 2500 de euros a 5000 millones hasta 2020. De esta forma, se pretendía aumentar la confianza en la investigación y en el desarrollo para asegurar a Austria un lugar en el campo de la investigación. Hahn exigió un esfuerzo común de parte de todos los ministerios y destacó la importancia de la política de enseñanza como una condición previa para crear un campo de investigación competitivo.

Comisión Europea

Comisión Barroso II
El 27 de octubre de 2009, sucedió a Benita Ferrero-Waldner como comisario europeo austriaco. Este nombramiento fue confirmado por la comisión central del parlamento austriaco el 5 de noviembre. José Manuel Durão Barroso anunció que iba a ocupar la cartera de Política Regional el 27 de noviembre. El 9 de febrero siguiente, fue investido y prestó juramento el día siguiente.

Comisión Juncker
En 2014, cuando Jean-Claude Juncker llegó a la presidencia de la Coimisión Europea, la cartera de Ampliación y Política de Vecindad y pasó a serlo de Política de Vecindad y Negociaciones de Ampliación, bajo la dirección de Hahn. La inversión fue la certificación de un cambio de actitud y una declaración de preferencias.

Bosnia y Herzegovina presentó su solicitud de adhesión a la Unión Europea en 2016. En febrero de 2018 la Comisión Europea realizó medidas diplomáticas para acelerar los pasos que llevarían a seis países de los Balcanes Occidentales a formar parte de la UE. Como comisario europeo de política regional, Hahn sostuvo que esta posibilidad de ingreso se llevaría a cabo a cambio de reformas en el ámbito de derechos fundamentales, de resolver conflictos de fronteras y de organizar cambios económicos.

Comisión Von der Leyen
Como comisario europeo de Presupuestos, Hahn fue el máximo responsable del departamento de la Comisión Europea que elaboró la veintena de proyectos legislativos para poner en marcha el fondo de recuperación económica y el marco financiero plurianual (MFP) de la Unión Europea (Ue) para el periodo 2021-2027. Los 750 millardos de euros del fondo para paliar los daños económicos de la pandemia de enfermedad por coronavirus de 2020 y los 1,1 billones de euros del nuevo MFP pasaron a ser negociaciados entre los 27 Estados de la Unión.

Según Hahn, la UE no pediría más contribuciones a los Estados miembros para cubrir este endeudamiento. En su lugar, propuso crear varios impuestos con los que cubrir los pagos durante las próximas tres décadas, vinculados a las prioridades digital y ecológica de la Unión.

In order to estimate the rainfall and runーoff process in whole river basin, rainfall was simulated through multiーpoint and simultaneous matrix method of oneーorder Marcov chain. Introducing linear regression model for longーterm and storage function model for shortーterm, discharge sequences are calculated and conditional probability matrixes of discharge were gained.
Water resources system including storage reservoir is consisting of several units such as division, confluence, reservoir, intake, purification, usage and so on. The transition processes were formulated in time and space based on probabilistic matrix methods. Probabilistic evaluation was taken at any reference point through shift operation and it's inverse method.
Water quantity and quality were evaluated at reference point considering reliability, resiliency and vulnerability. These criteria were applied to the real water resources systems in the cases of the linear type, the lumping purification type and the reーuse type. Then the vector optimization technique is employed to find the best solution for decision making of planning.
When drought or flood control projects are planned, there are several conflicts between governments and the residents who live on the project site, or the residents in the upstream area and in the down stream area. Introducing the conflict analysis which is one of metaーgame theories, the game was formulated then the rational solution was gained under the conditional constraints of different preferences for players and changing preference in time.
