We offer hot water extraction with genuine scrub wand cleaning for your carpet care. Our owner and manager, Paolo Mancuso will visit your business, examine your carpet, and give you a quote on cleaning. He can also advise on general carpet care for your particular carpet type and installation. And because we understand how to efficiently dry carpets in an installation, we can ensure your carpets are dry before the start of your business day.
Our staff of master and journeyed cleaners, with a full fleet of truck-mounted carpet cleaning equipment, means we can accommodate even large commercial jobs within a reasonable time frame, and still maintain our high standard of quality. And in circumstances where truckmounts are not applicable, we carry a series of high-performance electric portable equipment.
We can clean (and thereby extend the life of) your whole range of office upholstered furniture, from the simplest boardroom chair to the fine furnishings of your executive offices.
Because we have a cleaning plant, we can clean furniture on-site or off-site, whichever is the most appropriate to the furnishings themselves, your jobsite, and your schedule.
We carry top-of-the-line fibre protectant products (sometimes called "scotchguard"), and are skilled in matching the right fibre protectant to the right fabric. You might be surprised to know that some fabric doesn't benefit significantly from having fibre protectant applied. If this is the case for your fabric, you can count on us to tell you, so you don't waste your money on it. In other cases, a fibre protectant can make a significant difference. In this case we will explain the benefits to you, and, if you decide to have it applied, we will conduct a proper application in our cleaning plant. This means we will apply it using hand sprayers in 2 coats, with a minimum 24-hour curing time between coats, for the best and most professional results.
Our cleaning plant is constructed so that we can clean almost any style of window blind, including Luminette and Silhouette styles. If you aren't sure what type of blinds you have, you can drop one off at our plant for assessment, or we can stop by your business (as time permits) and take a look. We can also visit to give you a quote on cleaning. If you have many, many blinds in your building, we can look at cleaning on-site as well.
We can coordinate minor blind repairs with a skilled repair person.
Our hard surface cleaning tools (supplemented with some good old-fashioned elbow grease) are excellent for cleaning even heavily soiled grout lines and the tiles that go along with them.
We always recommend that a grout sealant be applied 24 hours after the grout lines are cleaned. We can provide you with the name of the product and tell you how to apply it yourself, or we can provide the product and the labour ourselves, if you wish.

But since opening in 2013 Hudson Common, the cavernous casual restaurant and bar at Hudson Hotel has gone all out in March.
This year they're showing every NCAA game from March 19 through April 6 from noon till 11:30 p.m., from the Sweet 16 to the Final 2.
With nine flat screens and 100-inch projectors you won't miss a shot unless you're distracted by the ice chest of beer wheeled to your table. A highlight are the Bracket Burgers — four signature sandwiches representing each region: West (kimchi), East (reuben), Midwest (Fab 5) and South (BBQ bacon).
And if the score gets lopsided — undefeated Kentucky is playing, after all — you can take the Pop-a-Shot Challenge with hoops set up on the terrace.


Cydney isn't blind to husband blind to her husband's adulteress ways but has skeletons of her own that need to stay buried. Living by the motto "Whatever you do, I can do better" almost brings her game to an end when she decides vengeance is best served sweet when she sleeps with Miguel.
Secretly conspiring to bring Isaac down shows Miguel's playa-hating ways, when Cydney decides to give her marriage another try, and he's not about to let that happen by no means. Personal gratification at his partner's expense can be deadly as toxicity brews over when Isaac and Cydney fall into his scheme of events. The final outcome will be determined when they remember what is really important.

Tale of two halves: Mansfield Senior Tygers routed by Dublin Coffman Shamrocks
Jake Furr
MANSFIELD - If the game was 16 minutes, the Mansfield Senior Tygers would have been thrilled waking up the next morning.
Unfortunately, they play for 32 minutes, and the Dublin Coffman Shamrocks took advantage of the final 16 with an 84-44 route at Pete Henry Gymnasium on Friday night in the opener for high school boys basketball.
But it wasn't all bad for the Tygers. After the first two quarters, Mansfield Senior trailed 23-22, even holding a lead as the seconds ticked away on the second quarter. The Tygers nearly outplayed the Shamrocks, matching the rebound total of 20; and played great defense, keeping the Shamrocks to just nine percent shooting from beyond the arch.
"I thought we sped them up a little bit and we didn't let them get comfortable in the first half," Mansfield Senior coach Marquis Sykes said. "We did a much better job rebounding the basketball in the first half as well."
But Coffman caught fire in the second half, and more specifically Dominiq Penn, the son of Ohio State legend Scoonie Penn. After being held to just 11 first-half points, Penn went off scoring 13 in the third quarter and ending the game with 36 points in all.
"We came out the second half and just did the complete opposite of everything we did in the first," Sykes said. "They beat us up on the boards and turned us over quite a bit. We didn't develop any rhythm and we just couldn't put the ball in the basket."
The Tygers were outscored 30-13 in the third and 31-9 in the fourth as the Shamrocks blew the game wide open, drilling eight three-pointers in the second half alone, four by Penn.
"I would look at the scoreboard and we were down nine then it was 16 and before you knew it, it was out of reach," Sykes said. "Penn caught fire and once he did, everyone else on their team got confident because of him. I don't know how many threes they hit in the second half. That is a great team and I was hesitant to schedule them on the first game of the season, but we did and we gave it everything we had."
Despite the lopsided loss, the Tygers learned they can play with the great teams of the state as long as they turn in a complete-game effort. That was proven by the first half score.
Quan Hilory scored 12 points to lead Mansfield Senior while Angelo Grose added eight, Manny Bronson and Dontavious Burtin added seven apiece, Anthony Hawkins scored six and Shad Creamer rounded out the scoring with four points. Burtin led the way rebounding with seven.
"We just have to focus on the little things and doing those little things right," Sykes said. "We need to execute in the half court on both ends of the floor and that will be our focus moving forward. We will get it."
The Tygers start the season 0-1 and are back in action on Sunday morning hosting Cleveland John Hay in the Tyger Classic.

Saugatuck Twp. manager, supervisor turn in resignations
Arpan Lobo @ArpanLobo
SAUGATUCK TWP. — Staffing issues continue to plague Saugatuck Township.
On Tuesday, April 23, the township's Board of Trustees announced the resignations of Township Manager and Zoning Administrator Natalie Dean and Supervisor Chris Roerig, effective May 3.
All four board members, Clerk Abby Bigford, Treasurer John Helmrich and trustees Brenda Marcy and Stacey Aldrich declined comment on the reasoning for the sudden resignations.
Dean and Roerig were not present and could not be reached for comment. Their resignation letters were dated Thursday, April 18, and Tuesday, April 23, respectively.
On Wednesday, April 24, the township board released a statement with comments from Dean and Roerig.
"With all new jobs there is a probationary period that runs both ways," Dean said in her resignation letter, per the statement. "I honestly just don't feel like I am the right fit for the township or this board.
"The direction that the new board wants to take the Township is vastly different from the direction that I believe is best for our residents," Roerig said.
During a special public meeting, the board attempted to address concerns from Saugatuck Twp. residents.
Tad DeGraaf, a Saugatuck Twp. real estate agent, expressed concerns over the issues he and business partners have run into due to the lack of zoning oversight. He said without proper guidance, his partners are unable to complete property sales in the area.
"(We) need to know who we can go to," he said.
Helmrich responded by saying the town does have a building inspector, and concrete plans for the township administration's future will come in a 'matter of days.'
"We're very cognizant of keeping things moving, it's a very busy time of year," Helmrich said. "Things are going very well in terms of development within the township, and we don't want to do anything to slow that down."
Residents expressed frustration over the lack of transparency regarding the sudden resignations. Roy McIlwaine, a former member of the board who was recalled in November 2018, said the public had a right to know as to why the current situation is unfolding.
The board did not respond to McIlwaine's comment.
In their resignation letters, Dean and Roerig expressed they'd be available for work until May 3. The board members decided while neither was expected to come into the office, they should be available for guidance remotely.
Bigford mentioned there would be stress for everyone involved in the situation, but did not further explain as to why.
Staffing issues have been a concern for the town for several months.
Helmrich, Bigford and Aldrich began in November 2018, while Marcy started in March. Dean and Roerig expressed dissatisfaction with the staffing situation as recently as last week.
"It's similar to the situation we found ourselves in December," Helmrich said.
Supervisor is an elected official, while Dean's titles were appointed. The resignations mark another setback for the board, which will decide on a special meeting date in the near future.
"I would think with what's going on, you should consider a special meeting sooner," Saugatuck Twp. resident Charlotte Stewart told the board.
The board will have its next meeting on Wednesday, May 1 at 6 p.m.

Q: Auto refresh & click & alert Hello im working in javascript script with extension tampermonkey to refresh and check if there is available dates in appointement website if true then alert , my script work till click in input to show calendar and if i don't click the script doesn't work
this is my script
var gun=setInterval(function(){
if (document.getElementsByClassName('day activeClass').length !==0) {
  new Audio('https://www.soundjay.com/mechanical/sounds/smoke-detector-1.mp3').play();
  clearInterval(gun);
    }
   }, 1000)

i want to add a click in calendar input to detect changes or if there is alternative ways to check even hidden class or in source code of webpage
calendar html code
<input type="text" readonly="" class="form-control-input app_date validate" style="width: 260px;" id="app_date" name="app_date" placeholder="YYYY-MM-DD" onchange="this.form.submit();showLoader();" value="" autocomplete="off">

before click calendar
after click calendar

A: The problem must be that the classes "day activeClass" won't be assigned to the elements unless you click on the input.
It'd have been better if you had also shared the HTML code of an example of appointments.
But I think you could have a global variable such as "x" and have it include the innerHTML of the calendar and alert if the new data wasn't the same as x

A member of the cypress family, junipers (genus Juniperus) produce an unusual cone that ends up looking like a fruit; this "fruit" is known as a juniper berry. Juniper berries start off green, but ripen to a blue-black color. Ripening can take up to three years. These ripe berries are bitter and astringent, so juniper berries aren't eaten off the tree; rather, they're added to recipes during cooking. Trees and shrubs are usually male or female, so you need more than one to get a crop of berries. Junipers are evergreens.
Prepare your marinade or sauce as you normally would, but replace each bay leaf with four berries. Since venison, boar, pork, duck and goose take well to juniper, marinades and sauces intended for these meats are a natural fit for the berry.
Add six berries per pound of meat to the water for boiled ham. You might increase that to about six berries per half-pound of meat if you enjoy the taste.
Add three to four berries to the water for boiled whole cabbage.
Crush about 12 berries with the flat of a knife blade.
Take the water off the heat, and add the berries.
Strain the water into the tea cup or mug.
You will have to experiment with how many juniper berries you add to dishes because the flavor is distinctive and some might find it overpowering. Be conservative in how much you use at first, then increase the amount in your dish. If adding to a stew or any dish with other flavorings, only start with about three or four.
Juniper berries flavor gin. If you don't like the taste of gin, you might not like the berries married to the flavors of your foods.
If you want to use fresh juniper berries, use less than suggested (start with two-thirds to half as much) because the flavor will be stronger.
Add juniper berries to the cavities of unstuffed game birds being cooked, along with other spices like thyme.
Only eat juniper if you are healthy. Those with compromised kidneys especially should not eat juniper berries since they have a strong diuretic property. Pregnant women and young children should also avoid the berries, which are still being studied for their benefits and adverse effects. If you have any preexisting conditions, consult your doctor before consuming juniper.

Ealing London Borough Council
Only council can influence cinema
AS YOUR correspondent Miss PA Timms says, work on the redevelopment of the former Empire Cinema site in Uxbridge Road, Ealing, remains stalled (Letters, January 22).
Empire Cinemas said in response to increasing concerns from Ealing Council, the society and local residents at the end of last year about the lack of action, that the 16 screens were being redesigned to cater for digital projection and that construction work should start in 2010.
But there is no sign of any revised plans, let alone any action on the ground.
Sadly, we could be left with an unsightly vacant site behind the crumbling facade for some time to come unless pressure can be brought to bear on Empire to deliver what they promised in 2008.
Only the council has any real influence, and even that is limited in times of recession.

Color Space is defined as a specific organization of colors and there are many different models depending on whether you are working with digital images, photography or paint.
For painters when it comes to color mixing, we use the color wheel but we think of it as a three-dimensional version of the wheel.
Let's walk through the color model that we call color space.
"Hue" is the name of a color or it's color family, i.e. red, orange, yellow, green, blue or violet. Colors families have a relationship as they go around the color wheel clockwise, always in the same order.
When mixing colors on a palette, changes in hue on the color wheel happen clockwise & counterclockwise.
Temperature describes the warmness or coolness of a hue or color relative to another hue. It also goes clockwise or counterclockwise or can happen within a single hue family.
Or "Chroma," is used to describe the brightness or dullness of a color.
Don't confuse brightness with lightness. Brightness is the intensity or purity of a color.
High intensity or high chroma colors make up the very outer perimeter of the color wheel.
Mixing color opposites or its complements will neutralize any color until it becomes grey.
If we turn the color wheel horizontally like a pancake. It would look something like this.
Value describes the "lightness" or "darkness" of a color. Changes in value (from light to dark, from dark to light) occur vertically within color space, with lighter colors toward the top of color space and darker colors towards the bottom.
And if we took a slice of the three-dimensional color space model. It would look something like this. Yellow at the top being the naturally lightest color at full intensity and blue being the darkest at full intensity.
The best way to learn color space is to practice & experiment on your own. However, if you would like to watch a video that walks you through this three-dimensional model with a computer aided design (CAD) model, visit Navigating Color Space by Rober Gamblin.

Terrorist wing may lead to new security risks
Detainees in the terrorist wing of the Extra Secure Facility in Vught are not being sufficiently prepared for their return to society. This could increase the risk of radicalization and recidivism, while the aim of the terrorist wing is to foil recruitment in prisons and to protect society against radicalization and terrorism. These are the conclusions in an evaluation report on the terrorist wing by researchers of the University of Groningen, conducted at the behest of the Ministry of Security and Justice.
The researchers investigated how the terrorist wing came into being, and whether it is effective against recruitment during detention. Their conclusions are rather critical. 'The terrorist wing may temporarily foil recruitment', according to sociologist Tinka Veldhuis, 'but it is a drastic measure that is not always necessary and in the long term may create new security risks.'
Concentration of terrorism suspects
The terrorist wing was set up in response to political and social pressure. Terrorism was high on the political agenda after the murder of Theo van Gogh and the government was afraid that prisons would become hotbeds of radicalization. To prevent this, terrorism suspects were concentrated in an extensive secure wing with a strict regime. Other solutions were barely paid any attention, for example dividing terrorism suspects over different prisons. Whether a terrorist wing would have negative consequences in the long term was not investigated either. Veldhuis: 'That's understandable, given the social unrest at the time. However, nothing has been done to prevent the detainees falling into old patterns of behaviour after their release, and that may be very risky.'
Recruitment risk not proven
According to the researchers, the government has not demonstrated that the terrorist wing is essential to foil recruitment in prisons. It is simply not clear whether the inmates really do form a recruitment risk. As a result people are being placed into the strict terrorist wing regime without recruitment being foiled. And this with the main goal of the wing being to foil recruitment. According to the researchers, since the opening of the terrorist wing not a single detainee has been transferred there because he tried to recruit others to his cause. Veldhuis: 'There are very few known cases of radicalization or recruitment in prisons, and none of them have ever led to a transfer to the terrorist wing.'
Risk of radicalization and recidivism
The researchers warn that the terrorist wing could in the long term create new security risks. The wing has a certain stigma and the strict regime has far-reaching consequences for the detainees. It could thus turn into a breeding ground for radicalization. Because no attention is paid to resocialization, the detainees also return to society insufficiently prepared. This increases the risk that they will fall back into old patterns of behaviour after release. Veldhuis: 'People who have spent time in the terrorist wing are branded "terrorist" forever.

Great River Park in East Hartford, Connecticut is an important link in the park system developed and managed by Riverfront Recapture on both sides of the Connecticut River. Located entirely within the 100 year floodplain and within several critical federal, state and local regulated areas, Great River Park runs .75 miles along the river and connects with bridges across the Connecticut River on both the north and the south.
Great River Park includes a new 350 seat amphitheater nestled into the earthen flood embankment; its excavation compensated for the fill required for a new riverfront access road. The multi-million dollar project included new roads, parking, boat ramp and ADA-compliant floats, multi-use trails, signage, lighting, planting, site furnishings and emergency call boxes. Requiring seven years to program, design, permit and construct, the project was led by Pam Shadley while a Principal with another firm. Great River Park has become a regional destination in the Hartford area and has won several awards: a 1997 Award from the Waterfront Center, a 1998 Merit Award from the Boston Society of Landscape Architects, and a Top Honor Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects in 2000.


Education institutions are under tremendous pressure to operate efficiently, embrace fiscal stewardship at unprecedented levels, and align scarce resources to the mission of the institution. Couple these challenges with the adoption of new technologies in teaching and learning and the integral role of technology in digital innovation and you'll find it's clear that change is inevitable. Institutions that strategically embrace digital transformation will differentiate themselves and thrive.
During this session, we'll explore the challenges facing education leaders, the strategies institutions can use to differentiate and strengthen their long-term viability, and the critical role cloud technology plays in helping institutions achieve their goals.


My first (temp) job after finishing university involved working on the phones for a council. I was helping local people understand and use the newly introduced recycling scheme. It was pretty gruelling, as we had to go through the same points with people day after day, and were served up as cannon fodder for their rage and frustration. What became clear to me was the difference between annoyance with having to learn a new system (which is part of everyday life) and the baffling rage about new rules that plainly made no sense.
While talking to the "users" of this new scheme every day, patterns became clear to me and 20 or so support staff. I tried to give feedback to my manager and was rebuffed. Being a cocky 23 year old, I kept on trying to explain to whomever would listen that there were some issues which were arising again and again. Perhaps I could have been more charming or tactical about it (a valuable life lesson). But the issue was the fact that there was absolutely no way to let those at the top know how their new system was working.
I guess this was my first taste of UX or, rather, a lack of UX. I saw absolutely no interest in the user—in this case, the local taxpayer. It stayed with me because, in the end, I felt as frustrated as those I was talking to.
In my next role in customer services, I made damn sure that those at the top heard from us about what was happening, day to day, with their customers. My argument was, "You want to know what your customers think? We speak to them everyday – listen to us!" Luckily, this was for a new startup with a pretty flat structure and they were very open to it.
I created a weekly presentation, bringing together the latest complaints, compliments and patterns I'd seen emerging from how people used the website and product. I used this to make recommendations on what could be fixed and to get explanations on what couldn't. I could then take this feedback and pass it back to the customer, ensuring that they felt involved and informed. That company was graze.com,now the fastest growing snack company in the UK, then a tiny little office above a warehouse. What mattered was that the founders listened and responded. Graze regularly wins awards for usability and customer service. I'm not saying that's all down to me but I can take a tiny bit of credit, right?
I particularly worked on fostering a relationship with the development team, as I could see that was a great way to put in quick fixes and get quick answers. So, imagine my joy when, as a new starter at WhatUsersDo, I came across a blog post talking about just this idea.
YESSSSSS! Victory! Validation of what I've always said. Designers in my case were developers but that's pretty close. Turns out that I'd been an advocate of UX, or at least user testing, all along.
My favourite thing about WhatUsersDo so far, and it's becoming clear that everyone in the business has their own favourite thing, is that it allows for what I'm calling the "Meh" effect.
What's the "Meh" effect? Well, my experience in customer service feedback was skewed because I felt we were hearing from certain types of people. There were mainly complaints, because (really) that's what customer service is there for, but also compliments about things that were going well.
We never heard from the people who just thought… "Meh." They didn't have any particularly strong feelings about the site or if they did, they weren't going to get in touch about them. That could have been for any number of reasons: being too busy, not being sure how to phrase things or that they'd get a response, and so on.
WhatUsersDo is great because it gives these people a voice, literally. We hear from all sorts of people about websites, not just those who actively get in touch. And I think that's just great.
Listening to your customers has always been a passion of mine so I'm delighted to have joined a business that has this ethos at it's core. It's also great to see that other companies are starting to sit and take notice of their customers.
Clare is a start-up loving marketeer with a customer service core. She started her career as the fifth employee of what is now one of the UK's most successful start ups, graze.com, so has pretty high expectations.
If it's not about the customer she isn't particularly interested…but luckily that's what WhatUsersDo is all about. She enjoys shouting the word "HUMAN" at people a lot.
Thanks for reading and the kind words, Paul.
I can confirm that Clare was grinning ear-to-ear as she read your comment… she may or may not have printed out and framed it.

Is Fidus Investment Corporation under- or over-valued?
Valuing Fidus Investment Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Fidus Investment Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Fidus Investment Corporation's P/E ratio
Fidus Investment Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Fidus Investment Corporation shares trade at around 5x recent earnings.
Fidus Investment Corporation's PEG ratio
Fidus Investment Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.59. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Fidus Investment Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Fidus Investment Corporation financials
Fidus Investment Corporation share dividends
Recently Fidus Investment Corporation has paid out, on average, around 92.47% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.05% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Fidus Investment Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 7.05% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Fidus Investment Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.24 per share.
Fidus Investment Corporation's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Fidus Investment Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 16 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 December 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Fidus Investment Corporation's shares ever split?
Fidus Investment Corporation's shares were split on 9 September 2013.
Fidus Investment Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Fidus Investment Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $11.5014 up to $18.4399. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
FDUS.US volatility(beta: 1.88)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Fidus Investment Corporation's is 1.8784. This would suggest that Fidus Investment Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Two counties in Kenya faced drought, climate change, poor physical infrastructure, and a pandemic.
Rebuilding rural digital inclusion in Kenya post-COVID
How Kenya can exploit opportunities to provide all Kenyans with affordable internet access.
By Leonard Mabele, Researcher, Strathmore University, Kenya
In March 2020, Kenya went into lockdown, but lacked the level of Internet connectivity required to keep the various sectors of the economy fully functioning.
Despite boasting the largest economy in the Eastern Africa region, Kenya is a country where the digital "have-nots" significantly outnumber the "haves." The effect of COVID-19 began to be felt as 18 million students – from primary schools to colleges and universities –had to continue their education online.
Out of 47.6 million Kenyans, most live in rural areas, while only about 30% live in cities and towns. With schools locked down, more than half of all students had to travel back to where their parents and guardians were, which in this case meant the rural areas.
Kenya's land is largely rural with a number of areas still missing power connection to the grid, so the rural areas face low levels of income, dispersed human settlements, low digital literacy levels, and other challenges. For that reason, the lockdown dealt a huge blow to the academic system.
The healthcare sector was also hit. Under the Connect2Recover initiative, led by the ITU and supported by Huawei and other partners, my colleagues and I studied these two sectors in terms of Internet access before and during the pandemic; and what mechanisms the government was putting in place to guarantee sustainability of Internet access.
We chose two counties Kakamega and Turkana because in the 2019 census, Kakamega came out as the most populous rural county while Turkana was the second largest by land area. Both faced multiple challenges, including drought and climate change, inadequate social services, and poor physical infrastructure.
Our findings showed that both academic and healthcare facilities in the two counties faced similar challenges at the height of the pandemic. However, Kakamega had a more reliable infrastructure compared to Turkana, particularly in terms of National Optic Fiber Backbone Infrastructure (NOFBI) - the country's fiber optic connectivity initiative. The spotty 4G/LTE coverage affected both students and teachers, who were expected to join online sessions for continuation of studies. Initiatives by the government to unlock access to content through Television (TV) and radio FM were not sufficient to meet the needs of the learners. Some students did not have TVs at home, and some couldn't guarantee enough electricity to even have reliable radio access via mobile phones.
The one-hour slots for joining the TV or radio FM classes were insufficient and there was no opportunity to access recordings. The opportunity to address such challenges, such as through the use of High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS), unfortunately did not live up to expectations. While a lack of alternative access options, affordability, quality of access to data services and content for the students were present in both counties, Turkana was more affected than Kakamega. Issues identified during the field surveys included cost, backhaul limitations, electrical power and quality of service as variables needing further study. Conversely, spectrum sharing (SS) could provide more alternatives of access to the rural areas of Kenya – an opportunity that can be leveraged to "build back and better" the connectivity needs of rural Kenya.
Analysis and observation
The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) often bases the country's connectivity on the coverage of the cellular network, neglecting the opportunity provided by other Internet access options. This limits the data available to paint a real picture of the state of connectivity in the country, particularly through technologies such as satellite, microwave links, 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks as well as other Fixed Wireless Access (FWA). The CA reports often use the number of SIM subscriptions as a measure of coverage, which in reality is not the case, since much of the rural population uses mobile devices that cannot connect to the Internet.
While Turkana occupies almost 13% of Kenyan land, NOFBI coverage had not reached the county at the onset of the pandemic, which means it faces an extra level of digital divide. Levels of literacy and appreciation of the value of the broadband network also have to be addressed to help contribute to bridging the usage gap
There needs to be a proper mapping of broadband needs based on real infrastructure coverage. While the initiative of HAPs by Google Loon got large media coverage during the pandemic, very little in-country feasibility studies have been done on its deployment, benefits and sustainability for rural broadband access. There is also a need to increase the number of Community Networks (CNs) in underserved rural communities. Unfortunately, 90% of the ISPs engaged seemed unaware of the newly enacted regulations through spectrum sharing. This calls for more efforts to rally stakeholders not to remain behind in novel efforts that can contribute to their business models and rapidly spur alternative connectivity options for the unconnected.
To connect rural areas of Kenya such as Kakamega and Turkana stakeholders need to consider factors beyond infrastructure, such as electricity requirements and levels of income.
More schools and healthcare facilities can be connected by incentivizing initiatives such as spectrum sharing to increase the number of Community Networks (CNs).
The extent of dark fiber coverage needs to be assessed and backhaul access for the last-mile Internet initiatives enhanced.
School and healthcare centre connectivity needs should be mapped. This will help establish a data-driven decision-making ecosystem that can save on cost, minimize duplicated effort, and strengthen the available options for connectivity.

Canelo vs Plant: No confrontation, only focus at final press conference
No shots were thrown, with Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant looking ready for Saturday night.
By Scott Christ@scblh1 Nov 3, 2021, 5:39pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Canelo vs Plant: No confrontation, only focus at final press conference
Showtime/Premier Boxing Champions
Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant did not repeat the fireworks from their September press conference at today's final presser, with both appearing focused on Saturday night's Showtime pay-per-view main event.
Both Canelo (56-1-2, 38 KO) and Plant (21-0, 12 KO) kept it short and sweet with their time at the podium.
"Leading up to this fight, Canelo said that Mexicans don't fuck around. Well that's good to know, because where I'm from, we don't fuck around, either," Plant said. "You'll be seeing the first undisputed super middleweight champion, and you're looking at him, his name is Caleb Plant."
"Like Eddy (Reynoso) said, we have come a long way to make this happen, and we are just days away from making history," Canelo said. He otherwise simply thanked people for coming out and whatnot, and also presented Eddy Reynoso with his Trainer of the Year plaque, taking the chance to do it publicly after not being able to last year.
More from Canelo Alvarez
"It's different when you're in the ring, it's way different. I don't take nothing from (the previous press conference)."
On who has prepared him to beat Caleb Plant: "I've faced many good fighters with a style that make me feel confidence in my experience (against Plant)."
On Plant's mental toughness changing his outlook: "I always train 100 percent. I always train, obviously, for the style of my opponent, but I always train 100 percent."
More from Caleb Plant
"It wasn't my intention to get under his skin (at the previous press conference). I think you guys make a lot more of it than we do. I'm sure me and him both have been in worse scuffles than that, and I'm sure most people in this room have been in worse scuffles than that. Like he said, when the bell rings, it's completely different. I don't take anything away from that press conference."
On when he first thought about facing Canelo: "I like to focus on what's in front of me, and up until recently, he hadn't been in my division, so I hadn't really thought anything of it. But once he came into the division I thought this would make a huge mega-fight, so here we are."
On what he means by "any means necessary": "Just getting the job done. We've done that thus far to get to this point. Whether it's in boxing or whatever, by any means necessary, I've gotten here. I've had plenty of chances to bow out or step away and say, 'No, I'm done, I've had enough,' and I haven't. I just can't wait for the bell to ring on Saturday night."
On whether he can win a decision: "The way I see this fight turning out is Jimmy Lennon saying, 'And the new undisputed and still undefeated.' As far as the judges go, he's had multiple close fights with Lara, Austin Trout gave him a good fight, GGG has given him good fights. But I believe that the right people are in place to make sure the right decision is made. Anything other than that is out of my control. All I can focus on is the game plan."

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:intro}
\vspace*{-3mm}

While
QCD
was established
as a fundamental theory of the strong interaction a few decades ago,
its realization in hadron physics has not been understood
completely. For instance,
(apparent) absence of
``exotic''
states, which are different
from ordinary $q\bar{q}$ mesons and $qqq$ baryons,
has been a long standing problem.
Therefore, the announcement\cite{nakano} of the
discovery of $\Theta^+$ (1540),
whose minimal
configuration is $uudd\bar{s}$, was quite striking.
For the current experimental status,
we refer to Ref.\cite{Nakano-ykis}.

In this report, we review the theoretical effort
to search the $\Theta^+$ pentaquark state.
The main issue here is whether QCD favors
its existence or not, and the determination of possible
quantum numbers
for the
pentaquark families (if any).
In particular, in order to understand the
narrow width of $\Theta^+$ observed in the experiment,
it is crucial to determine the
spin and parity
directly from QCD.

For this purpose, we employ two frameworks,
the QCD sum rule and the lattice QCD,
where
both
allow the nonperturbative QCD
calculation without models, and have achieved a great success
for
ordinary mesons/baryons.
Note, however, that neither of them is infallible,
and we consider them
as
complementary
to each other.
For instance, the lattice simulation
cannot be performed at completely realistic setup,
i.e., there often exists the artifact stemming from
discretization error,
finite volume,
heavy u,d-quark masses
and neglection of dynamical quark effect (quenching), etc.
On the other hand,
the sum rule can be constructed at realistic situation,
and
is free from such artifacts
in lattice.
Unfortunately, it
suffer from another type of artifact.
Because a sum rule yields only the dispersion integral of
spectrum,
an interpretive model function have to be assumed
phenomenologically.
Compared to the ordinary hadron analyses,
this procedure may weaken the predictability for the
experimentally uncertain system, such as pentaquarks.
Another artifact in the sum rule is the OPE truncation:
one have to evaluate whether
the OPE convergence is enough or not.
We also comment on the important issue
common to both of the methods.
Recall that the decay channel
$\Theta^+ \rightarrow N+K$ is open experimentally.
Considering also that
both methods calculate a two-point
correlator
and seek for a pentaquark signal in it,
it is essential to develop a framework which
can distinguish the
pentaquark
from the NK state in the correlator.
In the subsequent sections, we examine
the literatures and
see how the above-described issues
have been resolved
or
remain unresolved.

\vspace*{-2mm}
\section{The QCD Sum Rule Work}
\label{sec:qsr}
\vspace*{-2mm}

More than ten sum rule analyses for $\Theta^+$ spectroscopy
exist for $J=1/2
\cite{Zhu,matheus,SDO,kek-penta,Lee1,Lee2,eidemuller,higher-dim,HJ.Lee,kojo}.
The first parity projected sum rule
was studied by us\cite{SDO} for $I=0$.
The positivity of the pole residue
in the spectral function is proposed as a
signature of the pentaquark signal.
This is superior criterion to the
consistency check of
predicted/experimental masses,
because it is difficult to achieve the mass prediction
within 100MeV ($\sim [m(\Theta^+) - m(NK)]$) accuracy.
We also propose the diquark exotic current

$
in order to suppress the
NK state contamination.
The OPE is calculated up to dimension 6, checking
that the highest dimensional contribution is reasonably small.
We obtain a possible signal in negative parity.

In the treatment of the NK state,
improvement is proposed in Ref.\cite{Lee1}.
There, NK contamination is evaluated
using the soft-Kaon theorem.
Note here that the NK contamination calculated by
two-hadron reducible (2HR) diagrams
in the OPE level\cite{kek-penta}
is invalid because
what have to be calculated is the 2HR part in the hadronic level,
not in the
QCD (OPE)
level.
The reanalysis\cite{Lee1} of sum rule
up to dimension 6 shows that
the subtraction of the NK state
does not change the result of Ref.\cite{SDO}.

Yet, as described in Sec.\ref{sec:intro},
the above sum rules
may suffer from the OPE truncation artifact.
In fact,
the explicit calculation
up to higher dimension
have shown that this is indeed the case\cite{higher-dim,HJ.Lee,kojo}.
Here,
we refer to the elaborated work
in Ref.\cite{kojo}.
They calculate the OPE for $I(J^P)=0(1/2^\pm)$
up to dimension $D=15$.
It is shown that
the terms with $D>6$ are important as well,
while further high dimensional terms
$D > 15$
are not significant.
Another idea
in Ref.\cite{kojo} is
the use of the combination of two independent pentaquark sum rules.
In fact, the proper combination is found to
suppress the
continuum contamination drastically,
which corresponds to reducing the uncertainty in
the phenomenological model function.
Examining the positivity of
the pole residue,
they conclude the pentaquark exists
in positive parity.

Does the result\cite{kojo} definitely predict the $J^P=1/2^+$ pentaquark ?
At this moment, we conservatively point out remaining issues.
The first problem is still the NK contamination.
While such contamination is expected to be partly suppressed
through the continuum suppression,
it is possible that
the obtained signal corresponds to just scattering states.
In this point, Ref.\cite{kojo} argues that the signal
has different dependence on the parameter $\braket{\bar{q}q}$
from the NK state.
We, however, consider
this discussion uncertain,
because $\braket{\bar{q}q}$ is not a free parameter
independent of other condensates.
For further study, the explicit estimate in the soft-Kaon limit\cite{Lee1}
is interesting check, but the calculation up to high dimension
has not been worked out yet.
Second issue is related to the OPE.
In the evaluation of the high dimensional condensates,
one have to rely on
the vacuum saturation approximation practically,
while
the uncertainty originating from this
procedure
is not known.
Furthermore, there exists an issue
for the validity of the OPE itself when considering the sum rule
with high dimensionality.
In fact,
rough
analysis of the gluonic condensates
shows\cite{SVZ} that the {\it nonperturbative} OPE may break down
around $D \mathrel{\mathpalette\gl@align>} 11-16$.
One may have to consider this effect as well,
through, for instance, the instanton picture\cite{HJ.Lee}.

So far, we have reviewed $J=1/2$ sum rules.
While there are $J=3/2$ works\cite{kek-3/2,zhu-3/2},
it is likely that
they suffer from slow OPE convergence.
Further progress is awaited.

\section{The Lattice QCD Work}
\label{sec:lat}
\vspace*{-2mm}

There are a dozen of quenched lattice
calculations\cite{csikor12,chiu,kentucky,ishii12,lasscock12,
csikor122,alexandrou12,rabbit,holland,lasscock32,ishii32,negele,hagen}:
some of them\cite{csikor12,chiu,rabbit,lasscock32}
report
the positive signal,
while
others\cite{kentucky,ishii12,lasscock12,csikor122,ishii32,holland}
report null results.
This apparent inconsistency, however, can be understood
in a unified way, by taking a closer look at
the ``interpretation'' of the numerical results
and the pending lattice artifact.

As discussed in Sec.\ref{sec:intro},
the question is how to identify the pentaquark signal
in the correlator, because the correlator
at large Euclidian time
is dominated by the ground state,
the NK scattering state.
In this point, we develop a new method in Ref.\cite{ishii12,ishii32}.
Intuitively, this method makes use of that
a scattering state is sensitive
to the spacial boundary condition (BC),
while a compact one-particle state is expected to be insensitive.
Practically, we calculate the correlator under
two spacial BCs:
(1)
periodic BC (PBC) for all  u,d,s-quarks,
(2) hybrid BC (HBC) where anti-periodic BC for u,d-quarks
and periodic BC for s-quark.
The consequences are as follows.
In PBC,
all of $\Theta^+$, N, K
are subject to periodic BC.
In HBC, while
$\Theta^+(uudd\bar{s})$ remains subject to periodic BC,
N($uud$,$udd$) and K($\bar{s}d$,$\bar{s}u$) are
subject to anti-periodic BC.
Therefore, the energy of NK will shift
by PBC $\rightarrow$ HBC due to the momentum of N and K,
while there is no energy shift for $\Theta^+$.
(Recall that the momentum is quantized on lattice
as $2\vec{n}\pi/L$ for periodic BC
and $(2\vec{n}+1)\pi/L$ for anti-periodic BC,
with spatial lattice extent $L$ and $\vec{n} \in \mbox{\sf Z\zr{-0.45}Z}^3$.)
In this way, the different behavior between NK and $\Theta^+$
can be used to identify whether the signal
is NK or $\Theta^+$.
We simulate the anisotropic lattice,
$\beta=5.75$, $V=12^3\times 96$, $a_\sigma/a_\tau=4$,
with the clover fermion.
The conclusion is:
(1) the signal in $1/2^-$ is found to be s-wave NK
from HBC analysis. No pentaquark is found up to $\sim$ 200MeV
above the NK threshold.
(2) the $1/2^+$ state is too massive ($>$ 2GeV)
to be identified as $\Theta^+(1540)$.

In comparison with other lattice results,
we introduce another powerful method\cite{kentucky}
to distinguish $\Theta^+$ from NK.
This method makes use of that the volume dependence
of the spectral weight
behaves as ${\cal O}(1)$ for one-particle state,
and as ${\cal O}(1/L^3)$ for two-particle state.
Intuitively, the latter factor ${\cal O}(1/L^3)$
can be understood as the encounter probability of the two particles.
The calculation\cite{kentucky} of the spectral weight from
$16^3\times 28$ and $12^3 \times 28$ lattices
reveals that
the ground states of both the $1/2^\pm$ channels
are not the pentaquark, but the scattering states.
Further analysis is performed in Ref.\cite{rabbit}.
There, the 1st excited state in $1/2^-$
is extracted with $2\times 2$ variational method.
The volume dependence of the spectral weight
indicates that the 1st excited state
is not a scattering state
but a pentaquark state.
This is consistent with Ref.\cite{negele},
where $19\times 19$ variational method is used to extract the excited states.

Note here that this results is {\it consistent}
with the HBC analysis\cite{ishii12}.
In fact, HBC analysis exclude the pentaquark up to $\sim$ 200MeV above
threshold, while the resonance observed in Ref.\cite{rabbit} locates
200-300MeV above the threshold.
The question is whether the observed resonance is really
$\Theta^+$ which experimentally locates 100MeV above the threshold.
To address this question, explicit simulation is necessary
at physically small quark mass without quenching.
In particular, small quark mass would be important
considering that Refs.\cite{ishii12,rabbit} are simulated at rather heavy quark masses
and expected to suffer from large uncertainty in the chiral extrapolation.

Finally, we discuss the $J^P=3/2^\pm$ lattice results.
We performed the
comprehensive study\cite{ishii32} with three different operators
and conclude that
all the lattice signals are too massive ($>$ 2GeV) for $\Theta^+$,
and are identified as not pentaquarks but scattering states
from the HBC analysis.
On the other hand,
Ref.\cite{lasscock32} claims that
a pentaquark candidate is found in $3/2^+$.
We, however, observe that the latter result
are contaminated by significantly large statistical noise,
which makes their result quite uncertain.
Note also that their criterion
to distinguish $\Theta^+$
from scattering states
is based on rather limited
argument
compared to the HBC analysis.

\vspace*{-2mm}
\section{Conclusions}
\label{sec:conclusion}
\vspace*{-2mm}

We have examined both of the QCD sum rule and lattice QCD works.
In the sum rule, progresses in OPE calculation and continuum suppression
have achieved stable
analysis,
while the subtraction of NK contamination remains a critical issue.
In the lattice, the framework which distinguish
the pentaquark from NK have been successfully established.
In order to resolve the {\it superficial} inconsistency in the
lattice prediction,
the calculation at small quark mass without quenching
is highly desirable.

#MeToo is making the European Parliament take sexual harassment seriously – Vox.com
March 23, 2019 SextingIdeas Sex Health News Sexo Salud y Vida 0
It started with a notebook.
In 2014, Jeanne Ponte, a French-accredited parliamentary assistant at the European Parliament, began recording accounts of workplace sexual harassment that had happened to her and fellow staff members at the European Union institution.
Then came the #MeToo movement in 2017 — and Ponte's notebook, which by then had more than 80 anecdotes, became a symbol of the problem of harassment at the seat of power in the European Union. Now Ponte is leading the movement that started the #MeTooEP blog, a space for administrative and political workers to anonymously discuss what Ponte calls an "open secret" and get resources to recover and pursue justice.
The stories on the blog range from inappropriate comments — "He then asked me what was my name and where I come from. When I answered, he said that it was the loveliest nationality and where the most beautiful women come from" — to accounts of rape and assault.
"With tears in my eyes I shook his hand when he pulled me towards him and grabbed me," one post reads. "I pushed him and I started to cry and ran out of the office."
Ponte and a coalition of parliament workers started #MeTooEP to force the European Parliament to confront what she says is a culture of rampant but invisible sexual harassment.
The movement is now asking members to sign a pledge leading up to the European elections in May, promising to "actively combat" sexual harassment and implement mandatory anti-harassment training, among other measures.

The #MeTooEP movement has an uphill battle. There's a longstanding practice in the Parliament of excusing inappropriate comments or behavior as the result of "cultural differences" in a body that represents 28 countries, Ponte said. Some members of Parliament argue that requiring anti-harassment training would even violate their rights.
Still, Ponte is determined to press on: "What is dangerous is silence," she said.
Many of the stories of harassment in Ponte's notebook come from parliamentary staff, known as assistants, who are based either in Brussels or members' home countries. (The 28 countries in the European Union elect 751 members of Parliament, or MEPs, to five-year terms.)
But no one had ever spoken publicly about sexual harassment in the Parliament before October 2017, when Ponte's boss, French Socialist MEP Edouard Martin, mentioned her notebook, with her permission, in a local radio interview — just as the exposure of Harvey Weinstein brought global attention to the issue of sexual harassment.
Within a day, Ponte's story was everywhere.
Shortly after the story broke, Ponte traveled to Strasbourg for plenary session, where the MEPs voted to pass a resolution on sexual harassment. By then, Ponte had over 200 interview requests in her inbox.
"The pressure to make me silent was even greater," Ponte said. The spokesperson for the parliament asked to meet her, she said, after discussing the notebook's revelations with 20 key leaders of the European Parliament, a group known as the Bureau. Ponte said the spokesperson told her these superiors asked her not to speak with any journalists. (The Bureau did not reply to Vox's request for comment.)
Ponte did the interviews, and it opened a floodgate. Members of Parliament held #MeToo placards at a meeting of Parliament to demonstrate support; some members shared their experiences in front of the session and criticized the reporting mechanisms.
"It is with shock and indignation that I have learned of recent allegations of sexual harassment at the European Parliament," European Parliament President Antonio Tajani said in an October 2017 statement responding to member's testimonies. The statement also pointed out the Parliament already had a preventative campaign: educational posters and pamphlets on "how to avoid improper behavior towards your staff."
Anti-harassment training exists, too, but it's optional. So far, only 40 of the 751 members of Parliament — about 5 percent — have chosen to attend.
Then in October 2017, the Parliament's anti-harassment resolution was passed. Over 1,000 people then signed a petition for the resolution's enforcement.
Structures to address workplace harassment existed before #MeTooEP formed. In 2014, the Bureau established an internal committee to address formal reports of harassment. The Advisory Committee on Harassment and Its Prevention in the Workplace specifically focuses on cases concerning parliamentary assistants and members, and is led by five members nominated by the Parliament's president.
Right now, an assistant who is harassed can choose to bring his or her case to the five members, who listen to them and anyone else involved. Then the Committee hears the member's testimony alone. The Committee then submits a confidential report to the president, who decides whether harassment was proven. The procedure, documents, and records from the Committee's meeting are all kept secret. Victims who want a lawyer must bring their own.
The problem, activists say, is that a man in power (no woman has served as the Parliament's president since the Committee was established) ultimately decides whether sexual harassment happened — and in some cases, it may not be in the president's interest to punish a member of Parliament for harassment.
"The decision goes to a person that will not recognize this is happening," said Irene Rosales, policy and campaign officer for the European Women's Lobby in Brussels.
#MeTooEP is trying to provide another way, using the blog in part to point survivors to resources. Anyone who visits MeTooEP.com can find links to external or internal resources to get help. The site provides associations in Brussels as well as links to the Parliament's harassment committee. Ponte said the anonymous space helps workers not get used to inappropriate behavior, but seek change.
The blog also provides a realistic definition for sexual harassment, rather than using a legal definition, and pushes back against excuses — including "it is just about cultural differences" and "it is just a generational gap."
"We are actually doing the job of the Parliament here," Ponte said of the work to change the institution's norms.
There have been no public #MeToo scandals in the European Parliament. No one has been forced to resign. There are a few reasons for this, experts say. One is that harassment is normalized to the degree that many perpetrators might not realize their actions are even wrong.
"There needs to be a shift in this multicultural Parliament," said Elzelien Van Der Steen, a gender equality and women's rights policy adviser. "Behavior is still being justified as, 'Oh, it's a cultural thing. You can't take a joke.'"
Members of Parliament also have parliamentary immunity: the legal ability to avoid prosecution while doing parliamentary work. It's possible that members could use this to avoid an investigation if they are accused of sexual harassment in the course of completing their duties.
Some members are using an EU principle — the freedom of mandate, or the liberty to have and act upon one's own beliefs — to argue against making anti-harassment training mandatory.
The strongest freedom of mandate argument has come from conservative German MEPs — a powerful group within the EP, according to POLITICO Europe. They argue the training will force them to behave in a way that threatens their individual rights, and resisted attempts to amend the rules to make the sessions mandatory and sanction members who didn't attend.
The #MeTooEP pledge asks signatories never to use immunity to avoid discipline for sexual harassment. The pledge also calls for the creation of "dissuasive sanctions," so if an MEP is accused of sexual harassment, he or she may be kept from roles such as holding leadership positions — key political influence members want.
Ponte and her colleagues are pushing forward. In early February 2019, #MeTooEP held a conference to announce the pledge. Ponte said she was afraid no one would come to the early-morning meeting, but the event ended up being standing-room only. More than 180 attendees included the European Ombudswoman, as well as representatives from the Council of Europe and the Brussels UN Human Rights Office.
The following week, EP President Antonio Tajani, as well as some German party leaders, signed the #MeTooEP pledge. #MeTooEP will met with the Bureau in late March to discuss their terms and obtain signatures.
Some members of Parliament connect the "open secret" of sexual harassment to a bigger blind spot on the effects of violence against women more generally.
"Men's violence against women is Europe's biggest security problem," wrote Swedish MEP Soraya Post in an email to Vox. "Every third woman in the EU is subject to physical and/or sexual violence after the age of 15, and over 55 percent of all women in the EU have been subject to sexual harassment mainly from men … Yet there is no line about this violence in the EU's security agenda."
Post serves on FEMM, the EP's committee on women's rights, which is trying to promote gender equality initiatives within the European Parliament. Externally, the European Women's Lobby is the largest gender equality umbrella organization, pursing its Manifesto For a Feminist Europe, a vision ahead of the elections for parity, economic independence, and freedom from violence for women, Rosales said.
As for Ponte, she won't be at the EP much longer. She will pass on the leadership of #MeTooEP after the 2019 European Elections but said she's proud of what her notebook started.
"I get a bit of vertigo because it's quite impressive," Ponte said. "You find a lot of people who use human rights as a way to bring light to [themselves]. Not realizing what I created and what I was doing with this movement was the key to success."

One of the most impressive actor transformations in the movie industry is the Bradley Cooper workout, where he gained about 40 pounds of muscle to prep for his movie role as a Navy SEAL.
Not only did he gain massive amounts of muscle during his workouts, he also focused on becoming brutally strong to make his character as authentic as possible. To achieve this, Cooper worked on strength training in the mornings and then muscle building workouts in the afternoons. These types of workouts can be classified as powerbuilding, because not only are they focused on building muscle, they are also designed to maximize strength.
Bradley Cooper's crazy dedication and sacrifice to transform his body for this movie role can be an inspiration for others who are looking to achieve similar results.
GET THE RIGHT MUSCLE BUILDING SUPPLEMENT FOR YOUR WORKOUTS TO GET THE MOST RIPPED YOUVE EVER BEEN!
For his title role in American Sniper, actor Bradley Cooper plays Chris Kyle, the deadliest sniper in US military history. To pull it off, Cooper had to look the part, which ultimately meant gaining 37 pounds of lean mass and going from pretty boy to burly badass.
"I might have to tie you up with a rope and drag you behind my truck to knock some of the pretty off of you," Chris Kyle told Bradley Cooper during their first phone conversation.
Not long after the phone call, Kyle, along with a friend, was shot and killed by a troubled young Marine at a lodge in Texas. That changed things for Cooper. Cooper said that the only way to be sure that the movie lives up to Kyle's legacy is if his family loves it. "His life merits this. I hope we have stepped up to the challenge," Cooper said.
Cooper knew he had to physically transform himself into a Navy SEAL. That was obvious. But he wanted to go deeper. This had become more than a movie role. This had become a promise.
Kyle, before joining the military, worked on ranches and competed in rodeo events busting broncos. He had a ruggedly strong look — broad shoulders, tough — the kind of look that couldn't be faked with padded suits and good lighting. Kyle was a lifter and a warrior, not a bodybuilder.
Cooper needed to gain 35-40 pounds to accurately play the part, and most of that had to be muscle. Most importantly, Cooper had to not only look strong, he had to be strong. There was just no other way.
For one part of the movie, the film crew wanted Bradley to use fake weights for a workout scene. Cooper insisted that real weights be used, and he had to be ready for it.
Walsh added that Cooper didn't just use his workouts to create the right look for the role. He used them as a springboard to transform into Chris Kyle. The intensity of the workouts got him into the right frame of mind. Cooper would often place a picture of Kyle on the wall of the gym and he blasted Kyle's personal playlist during workouts, listening to the kind of music that defined Kyle, everything from Metallica and Slipknot to Toby Keith.
The only way to put 35-40 pounds on Cooper was to push him to the point of breaking. Cooper had to follow the carefully designed workout plan using a precise progression model. Walsh traveled with Cooper to make sure it happened, even going with him for shoots in Morocco.
Walsh knew that Cooper not only had to survive the workouts, but also recover from them as quickly as possible so he could do it all again the next day. He had to be properly fueled.
Walsh approached Biotest founder Tim Patterson with the challenge. Could he devise a supplement plan to help Cooper train for both strength and hypertrophy, recover fast, and build the rugged physique of a SEAL in a limited amount of time?
Patterson agreed but he had concerns. He wanted to make sure no mistakes were made with the supplement plan. So he custom made ready-to-drink bottles of Plazma and Mag-10 — which is the stuff in the bottles — and shipped them overnight directly to Cooper. Patterson also created a private webpage just for Walsh and Cooper that contained the entire supplement plan.
Bradley Cooper started the program at 186 pounds and ended at 225 with roughly the same percent body fat. By the end of the program, he was performing rack pulls with 425 pounds for 10 reps.
The program was a success. And Cooper's transformation into Chris Kyle — physical, mental, and emotional — is truly impressive.

Last Chance For Skunk Weed
That's right, folks. Washington Square Park and the arch, one of our city's better known landmarks, is getting a nose job.
City officials said a Dec 3rd decision by a justice in State Supreme Court in Manhattan has cleared the way for the renovation of Washington Square Park to finally begin.
The work, including moving the park's fountain and decreasing the size of the plaza, had been challenged by neighbourhood and environmental groups since the start.
But Supreme Court Justice Joan A. Madden found that the city had taken steps to ensure that the work would not significantly "damage the environment."
Uh, have these 'neighbourhood and environmental groups' walked through Washington Square in the past, oh, 25 years or so?
Anyway, the renovation is expected to begin by year's end. The removal of the fountain alone will cost about a half million.
A maudlin open letter sent out by the "Open Washington Square Park Coalition" reads:
"It is with frustration and remorse that I write to inform you of a memorial service for the spirit of Washington Square Park.
I join with other members of our community who have expressed great concern that our beloved Park's unique central plaza, at the heart of the Greenwich Village Community, is about to be demolished and transformed.
this guy has a tattoo on his ass that says "Why live without an audience?"
Thanks to these elected officials, we will have two to four years of construction fences for redesign, instead of repairs. The fountain will be moved and reborn as an inaccessible, ornamental fountain, the central plaza will be brought to street level grade, and the gathering space at the park's center will be shrunken by more than 20%. "
Oh no! What will happen to all those wonderful street entertainers the tourists seem to love so? The homeless guy who dances on one leg in the middle of the fountain in the summer? Or the guy with the ghetto blaster? Or the Hare Krsna hackysack festival? Or the guy with the snake? And all the skunk weed dealers!!! What of them, then?
Dysentery, much?
I think we should erect a giant statue of Laurence Alan Tisch and Izzy Young in the middle of the park that pigeons can shit on and EDP's can talk to.
Hang in there, bro
** Fun Fact: Before becoming a park Washington Square was a burial ground for a synagogue, an African Methodist church, Revolutionary War and War of 1812 Veterans, not to mention poor people from the state prison on Gansevoort Peninsula and the Alms House by City Hall. Over 20,000 bodies are buried anywhere from 8-13 feet below the surface of the park. **

Un graphique en aires est une représentation graphique qui affiche des données quantitatives sous forme graphique. Il est basé sur le graphique en lignes. La zone entre l'axe et la ligne est généralement soulignée par des couleurs, des textures ou des hachures. Généralement avec un graphique en aires, on compare au moins deux quantités.

Histoire
On attribue généralement à William Playfair l'invention des graphiques en aires ainsi que des graphiques en lignes, des diagrammes à barres et circulaires. Son livre, The Commercial and Political Atlas, publié en 1786, contenait un certain nombre de graphiques chronologiques, notamment Intérêt de la dette publique de la révolution et Exportations et importations à destination et en provenance du Danemark et de la Norvège, de l'année 1700 à 1780, qui sont décrits souvent comme les premiers graphiques en aires de l'histoire.

Utilisations
Les graphiques en aires sont utilisés pour représenter les totaux cumulés à l'aide de nombres ou de pourcentages (dans ce cas, des graphiques en aires empilées). Le graphique en aires est utilisé pour afficher les tendances dans le temps parmi les attributs associés. Le graphique en aires est semblable au graphique en lignes, sauf que la zone située en dessous de la ligne tracée est remplie de couleur pour indiquer le volume.

Lorsque plusieurs attributs sont inclus, le premier attribut est tracé sous la forme d'une ligne avec un remplissage de couleur suivi du deuxième attribut, etc.
