+ What motivated you to start Women4Change Indiana?
Jennifer: On November 9, I awoke with an incredible sense of despair and grief. I did some deep soul-searching and decided I needed to be the change I wished to see in the world. After conversing with my friend, rabbi and mentor, Sandy Sasso, we decided to form Women4Change Indiana. What I have learned over the last month is that women's voices in Indiana are hardly heard. Only 20 percent of elected officials in Indiana are women, yet we are 50 percent of the population. This saddened me. I want better for my daughter. I want her to feel represented.
Sandy: After the election, women were grieving. We gathered in a mortuary, but we were not there to mourn. We were together to resurrect those values which we cherished. We had one paramount purpose — to organize and to find effective ways to move forward and protect the rights and freedoms we held dear. We believed we could get past the deep sense of loss, and find others who would want to create a movement to respond to the fears we all had.
+ What makes this movement unique and uniquely needed?
Sandy: We came not as Democrats or Republicans or Independents, but as Americans — especially American women. We made a commitment to be non-partisan, to listen to each other and join together to address concerns. We see ourselves as an umbrella group supporting the efforts of existing organizations, creating new opportunities for engagement, and mobilizing women to act.
Jennifer: We are a non-partisan voice, speaking for all women in a state that has not let women's voices be heard. Only one-fifth of elected officials are women in Indiana. This should be of major concern to everyone. Due to overwhelming support (2400 members in the first two months), it is obvious many women share my concern. I was merely the initiator. Together, we will all be the change.
+ What are your short-term and long-term goals?
Jennifer: Our short-term goals are simple: for each member of the group to feel that they have a voice in the organization, and that they are given concrete action items to immediately begin fighting for women's rights in Indiana. For the future, we have many ideas, but these will change and mature based on national and world events. We will lend our support and voices where they are needed. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Women4Change Indiana.
Sandy: In the long term, we would like to help counter the animosity to Planned Parenthood, which provides essential health service to underserved women, to add our voices to those who speak on behalf of LGBTQ rights, and to work with others in fighting against racism and xenophobia. Too often it is the voices of hate that are the loudest and most organized. We plan to be outspoken and to organize effectively to counter those voices. If one person can change the world, imagine what thousands of individuals working together can do?
+ How will you define success?
Sandy: For me it will be several things: more women running for office and engaging in the political process; an end to gerrymandering; increased women's advocacy; a statewide civility campaign; increased education about democracy; and higher rates of voting.
Jennifer: I will feel I have been successful in this mission when I see an increase in the percentage of women in local and state government positions. I will feel I have accomplished something when our mentoring academy —only a dream now — is up and running and training women to seek and achieve community positions. I will be satisfied that my daughter understands that one person can make the change by standing up and doing something.
+ Which issue do you feel most strongly about?
Jennifer: One of my personal goals is to form a mentoring academy that will train and groom women to become active in all levels of government. This is the issue on which I hope to focus much of my time.
Sandy: Underlying all the issues important to me — reproductive health, LGBTQ rights, racism, xenophobia and voting rights — is the lack of civility in our country. We do not know how to listen to one another; we do not know how to argue without demeaning each other. We only listen to the news that we agree with. Facts do not seem to matter anymore. We need to find ways to look seriously at the issues, and learn how to engage one another respectfully and to be open to changing our minds.
+ Why are women uniquely powerful to be agents for change?
Sandy: Women felt personally attached by the rhetoric of this election. Misogyny, sexual harassment, and looking at women as objects were being given legitimacy.
Jennifer: In my opinion, women look at the world differently. Obviously, that's a generalization, but I truly believe women are wired to think first about the repercussions of action to those in their care; and once that's synthesized, they then formulate an action plan. In my opinion, women tend to be less combative. This makes them good leaders. Women are our caregivers, not our destroyers.
+ Personally, what drives you to work so hard for this cause?
Sandy: My mother died in December. I reread an interview I did with her about the 1940's. She felt that her opportunities were so limited because she was a woman. My grandparents came to America escaping persecution and intolerance and seeking freedom. I do this to honor their memory. Personally, I fought for women's rights in the 1970's. A woman becoming a rabbi faced ridicule and opposition. But so much was accomplished over a few decades. Now it seems we might erase all those advances. I do this for my daughter's sake and for future generations.
Jennifer: My father ran for Congress in the 6th district in the '60s. It was before I was born, but growing up we were very involved in politics. We stuffed bags with literature to pass out door-to-door and at the polls. It was very inspiring. Somewhere along the way, I lost touch with that hands-on action. This election reminded me that I have a duty to my country. I can't leave it to someone else and then complain about the results. I won't let that ever happen again. I will model good citizenship for my children.
+ What's surprised you since founding Women4Change Indiana?
Jennifer: I am surprised at how easy it has been to move things along. The idea of starting a not-for-profit sounded daunting at first, but I have moved ahead one step at a time. It's been exhilarating to watch the progress unfold. I have met amazing women who inspire me daily.
Sandy: We expected a couple hundred people at our first meeting, but the announcement went viral. There were 500 women in the building, and some 400 who could not get in. The energy in the room was astounding. The number of members continues to increase, as do the offers to volunteer. This is what hope looks like.
Jennifer: The difficulties are truly insignificant. I just force myself to push ahead and stay the course — and lo and behold, things work out. I know my children are learning a valuable lesson from watching me tackle this project. I can tell they are proud of me and that makes it all worthwhile.
Sandy: Everyone wants something to happen immediately. The difficulty is working fast enough to make something happen.
+ How has this grassroots effort changed you?
Sandy: I was disheartened by the increasing polarization of the election, the hateful speech, the demeaning of immigrants, minorities and women. I felt pessimistic about the future, but the large gathering of women gave me hope. I never thought of myself as a grassroots organizer. And, at my age, I did not imagine I would begin a new venture. So, I learned that, no matter what your age, you can do something new — something that can make an impact.
Jennifer: I feel like a completely different woman than I was prior to November 9, 2016. Leading up to the election, I was afraid and disillusioned, because of all the negative rhetoric surrounding the campaigns. Since co-founding Women4Change Indiana, Inc., I feel inspired and excited about the future. My priorities have shifted. I focus on the positive vision I see for the state and my Carmel community. I feel empowered. If someone would have said to me a year ago, that I would be a grassroots organizer, I would have laughed at them, not believing it. Yet, here I am, right in the center of things and I would not have it any other way.
Jennifer: My first thought is read! Become informed about an issue of interest. Educate yourself on both sides of the argument. Know the issue inside and out. Form a concise position. Then go to town hall meetings. Talk to elected officials about your position. Set a goal and work towards it. It doesn't have to be world-changing — it could be a garden in a neighborhood. Just set the goal and take action.
Sandy: The only way to go up hill is to start to climb. Yes, it is difficult, but it is not impossible. Join an organization that represents your values. Join Women4Change Indiana. Make your voices heard. Call your representative. Write letters to the editor. Stay informed.


Where do you start? How much do you contribute? What do you do if there's no company match? Should you take the Roth option? There's lots to consider with this important retirement asset.
2. Should I choose a Roth or Traditional IRA?
Though not as common, more employer retirement plans are offering Roth options. Choosing between traditional or Roth to save for retirement is an important decision. You must realize that in a traditional 401(k), you are notgetting a tax write-off from your pre-tax contributions: You are getting a tax deferral. You will eventually pay taxes on the money in these accounts funded with pre-tax dollars when you take withdrawals in retirement. It is very important to understand that you will pay tax not only on the pre-tax contributions, but on all the gains as well.

\section{Overview}
Jaeger \cite{jaeger08} presents a paper which attempts to show that P is not equal to NP.  This follows from a novel model of computation which has intrinsic uncertainty in its computation of all problems.  However, we will show that this model cannot be used to solve the same class of decisions that a Turing machine can.

\subsection{Summary of the Paper in Question}
Jaeger \cite{jaeger08} in his paper: Solving the P/NP Problem Under Intrinsic Uncertainty, attempts to resolve P-versus-NP through unique, unconventional means, by sketching a computer science analogue to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.  He begins by establishing a supposedly Turing equivalent computing machine largely based off of the Turing machine that contains a tape of binary storage cells of any length, infinite or finite.  Rather than assuming the machine is preprogrammed to accept certain inputs, the model described has a single tape in which both the input and the program code are randomly placed.  This allows him to introduce the uncertainty that the paper is based on.  He argues that since multiple, unique programs can perform the same actions at different speeds, program size should be considered when analyzing program complexity.  He continues that his concept of "intrinsic uncertainty" implies that it is impossible to distinguish whether, given a segment of the input, a part of this segment is program code or input.

Jaeger \cite{jaeger08} likens the relationship of the parts of this segment to the relationship described in Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle -- that you can not determine whether a part is code or input, rather you can compute the answer given both options and then compute the "certainty" that each computation is correct.  There is a problem with this, he explains, because according to his model every computation done on the machine has uncertainty, including his certainty calculations.  To solve this problem, he proposes what he calls "self-computation", or applying his Turing-machine-based machine to itself to compute a confidence value for its output, thus increasing the confidence value of its output.  As a result of this self-computation he claims that the confidence value of a computation is directly proportional to the ratio of code length to input length.  Through use of the sigmoid function, he claims one can calculate the entropy, or the probability that this confidence value is smaller than, larger than or equal to 0.5.

To relate this all to the P/NP problem, Jaeger \cite{jaeger08} constructs three lemmas.  His first lemma says that a Turing machine simulating a computable decision in NP to an arbitrary precision is itself computable regardless of the precision.   Lemma three states that this Turing machine is also in NP for some given uncertainties.  Lemma two allows him to state an uncertainty threshold  for which the Turing machine is not in P, thus proving that there exists some  function in NP but not in P.

\subsection{P = NP Problem}
The problem known as P=NP is arguably the biggest open problem in computer science \cite{sipser92}.  The Clay Mathematics Institute has offered a \$1,000,000 prize for anyone who provides a proof one way or another.  This incentive has attracted quite a few attempts by amateurs as well as professionals, since the problem at first seems deceptively simple.  The basic question asked by this problem is this: if an answer to a yes or no problem can be verified in polynomial time, can the answer also be computed in polynomial time?  The answer is commonly assumed to be `no', although no proof has yet emerged.

One way to prove that P is not equal to NP is to give a counter example of a problem that is in NP but proveably not in P.  This is more difficult than it sounds because it is difficult to prove that there are no algorithms in P which compute the answer.  Jaeger's paper \cite{jaeger08} attempts to prove that there is some inrinsic information necessary for having the answer to a problem, and that this intrinsic information can only be computed in nonpolynomial time.

\subsection{Turing Machines}
Jaeger 2008 \cite{jaeger08} uses the model of a Turing machine, a theoretical model of computing yes or no answers.  The model of a Turing machine has several parts \cite{sipser05}: a finite set of states including the initial state and a subset of final or accepting states, a finite set of tape alphabet symbols composed of the blank symbol and a set of input symbols, and a transition function which computes the new state, the alphabet symbol to be printed, and the direction to move (right or left), based on the current state and the current tape symbol.  Informally there are two parts in a Turing machine: a finite set of states in which the current state is arrived at deterministically, and an infinite tape which may start with a finite number of non-blank symbols printed on it.

\section{Challenging the Arguments Made}
We will show that the model presented in this paper is flawed because it is not equivalent to a Turing machine.  Moreover, the self-computation algorithm presented here has several major shortcomings which prevent it from resolving that uncertainty.

\subsection{Theoretical Differences with Turing Machines}
The most fundamental flaw to the argument presented in the paper under consideration is that rather than using a theoretically established model like a Turing machine, it presents a model in which the ``code" of the model, presumably corresponding to the set of states and the transition function, is indistinguishable from the ``input" to the code, presumably corresponding to the initial content of the tape.  Although there are numerous very obvious theoretical and practical ways of distinguishing ``code" from ``input", they are not clearly marked in this model, causing the intrinsic uncertainty upon which the core argument is based.

``Let us assume in the following that we have a Turing-complete machine architecture...", reads paragraph 2, pg 5.  The paper seems to rely on this model being Turing-complete, a term which is never clearly defined but which we assume to mean Turing equilavent.  However, this is clearly not the case, since the elements of the 7-tuple defining a Turing machine are clearly identifiable, and the same can be said for the initial state of the tape.  This method of arbitrarily introducing uncertainty to the computation of a Turing machine does not produce a Turing equivalent model, as it cannot be used to simulate a Turing machine, nor can it compute the same class of decisions that a Turing machine can.  Because the output of this model is always uncertain, there are no problems in NP that can be reduced to it.  It is similar to a model that flips a coin and upon seeing a heads, returns an arbitrary answer.

\subsection{Lack of Rigor in Analysis}
The definition of the machine the proof revolves around is seemingly flawed.  The machine which is supposed to be equivalent to a Turing machine in computational power detailed has a tape that contains both its program code and input, with both being randomly distributed throughout the tape.  The machine reads the tape which is partitioned into two subsets, $S_1$ and $S_2$.  We are lead to assume that these subsets form the direct sum of the original input, but this is never verified.  As a result, one could infer that perhaps there is some intersection between $S_1$ and $S_2$.  This is an example of the unrigorous definitions throughout the paper.  These subsets are never fully defined - no methods for finding them are ever given.  The machine evaluates the tape by computing the results as if $S_1$ were the code and $S_2$ the input and vice-versa, then calculates confidence values for both of those computations to help decide which configuration is correct.  This has some problems, namely that the method for partitioning the input into two distinct blocks is non-existent.  On page 6, the partition is described as being N bits long, but no further information is given.  Given the fact that the input and code are randomly intermixed, one could go as far as to say that its impossible to partition the input with any precision - both the code and input string are represented in binary and are thus indistinguishable.  This means that not only would the machine have to evaluate for all possible $S_1$-$S_2$ dichotomies, but also for all possible partitions of the input.  This additional factor is left completely unaccounted for in the remainder of the paper.

There is another error on page 6 in the uncertainty section.  The claim that, ''we can accept the interpretation whose program code encompasses the larger number of bits as more likely," is  never justified.  Such a statement is invalid - in many cases, for instance any program dealing with databases, the size of the input vastly exceeds the size of the program code.

One mistake that appears quite often in Jaeger 2008 \cite{jaeger08} is the constant changing of terms.  In section 2, page 5, the machine used throughout the paper is described as a ''Turing-complete" machine based on the Turing machine.  Just two pages later on page 7, the same machine is referred to as a Turing machine.  This inconsistency is detrimental to the reader's understanding as well as the validity of the paper itself.  The paper also mentions an ''outside program" that performs the interpreting and execution aspects of the previously defined computing machine.  While the existence of such a ''program" is provable, the author has omitted any kind of proof that such a program exists.

\subsection{The Self Computation Algorithm}
The bulk of this article describes an algorithm to be used for calculation of certainty measurements to be reported alongside the actual findings of a Turing machine.  The method of self-computation proposed is hugely complex, riddled with nonstandard notation and very confusing; the authors of this paper were unable to make much sense of it.  Self-computation, as described in the paper, involves executing the uncertain Turing machine on a copy of a similar machine running arbitrary ''code".  The chance that the machine could execute a copy of itself and gain higher precision is unlikely and left completely unproven.  The insinuation is that as you run the machine on itself, the bitlength of the ''code" portion gets longer and longer, increasing the ratio of code to data, which is directly proportional to certainty.

While this method may appear useful for calculating uncertainty, it is unlikely that this will work because it assumes, among other things, that bit length is a useful metric for telling code and data apart, that this is a necessary determination in a Turing machine, that Turing equivalent models can report a certainty measurement, and that no other algorithms exist for computing this function.  As we have shown these things to be untrue, the internal merit of the self computation algorithm is irrelevant.

\subsection{There is No Proof of Nonpolynomiality for Certainty Calculation}
One problem with the argumunt presented in Jaeger 2008 \cite{jaeger08} (Lemmas 1 and 3) is that it is nowhere proven that the method of self-computation presented in there is the only method of determining the certainty of a result.  Even granting that there is a problem of determining certainty of answers produced by Turing machines, and given that this method of self-computation is a reasonable way of determining certainty, and given that a certainty threshold can be set such that computing certainty by this method cannot be done in polynomial time, all doubtful claims, nothing in Jaeger's paper \cite{jaeger08} attempts to prove that there is no other method of computing this certainty measurement.  It could very well be that there is a polynomial time algorithm for computing this measurement that the author simply did not think of.

Indeed, it is unclear from the paper under consideration why it should be possible to set a threshold ''dynamically" so that it requires NP time to reach that level of certainty.  Even using the algorithm outlined there, it is not clearly explained why this would require exponential time rather than polynomial time.  This trick of requiring that an exponential amount of computation go into producing the answer is only possible as a use of the certainty value which is produced by the modified Turing machine.  As the output of a standard Turing machine is binary, this type of trick, which requires using the extra non-binary output, would not normally be possible.  It is as if one constructed an algorithm to run in exponential time by requiring that it print an exponential number of characters.

\section{Conclusion}
Overall, we have shown several things which should each individually render the argument described in Jaeger's paper \cite{jaeger08} impotent.  We have shown that a model of computation that requires a measure of intrinsic uncertainty cannot be reduceable to a Turing machine nor can it reliably compute any NP-complete problem.  We have also shown that the algorithm proposed for calculating uncertainty relies on faulty or unproven assumptions.  Finally, we note that while one algorithm is presented here, which may very well have an exponential runtime, there is no attempt to prove that there cannot be a polynomial-time algorithm to compute the same.  Any of these things strikes a fatal blow to the argument outlined by Jaeger \cite{jaeger08}.  As such, we do not find this compelling support for P not equal to NP.

The Treble Crochet Stitch (tr), also called a Double Treble Crochet Stitch (dtr) in British Terminology.
It is 1 x longer than Double Crochet (dc) (in British Terminology known as Treble Crochet Stitch (tr)) How to make Double Crochet (dc) – Treble Crochet (tr) stitch and it creates longer openings between the stitches producing a very loose fabric – excellent for blankets, loose garments (e.g. jumpers, beanies) or decorative items for your home (e.g. rugs, table clothes, chair covers etc.).
Work the required number of the chain stitches (your base chain). How to make a chain stitch you can learn here Chain stitch & Single Crochet Stitch. In my case I made 10 CH.
Pull the yarn through the first 2 loops on the hook – 1 loop remain on the hook – stitch is completed!
Continue with steps 3 – 12 to form second and subsequent stitches until the end of the base chain.
Continue till the end of the row, making a stitch into the top of each (tr)/(dtr) of the previous row. Do not forgot to make the turning stitches as Treble Crochet Stitch (tr) is tall stitch and the edges would not be straight or they will look squashed without turning chains.

Leo Berndsen (1942) was een Nederlandse topbestuurder. Hij heeft gewerkt bij AEGON en was topman bij Nedlloyd vanaf 1993 tot 2002.

Hij studeerde bedrijfseconomie bij de Universiteit Tilburg.

Leo Berndsen begon zijn loopbaan als financieel directeur bij Marebos. Na zijn postdoctoraal accountancy heeft hij als accountant gewerkt bij Philips en de verzekeringsmaatschappij Interpolis, waarvan hij in 1981 voorzitter werd van de hoofddirectie. In 1987 werd hij als lid van de raad van bestuur van Aegon verantwoordelijk voor de Amerikaanse vestigingen van dit verzekeringsbedrijf.

In 1993 vertrok Berndsen bij Aegon en werd benoemd tot voorzitter van de raad van bestuur van Koninklijke Nedlloyd NV. De commissarissen van Nedlloyd zochten iemand van buiten met een scherp oog voor rendement. Onder zijn leiding werd het breed gediversifieerde transportbedrijf teruggebracht naar één aandelenbelang van 50% in de containerrederij P&O Nedlloyd. Hij bleef op deze positie acht jaar en werd op 1 januari 2002 opgevolgd door Haddo Meijer. Berndsen bleef wel bij Nedlloyd, maar stapte over naar de raad van commissarissen.

In 2001 aanvaardde hij de functie van voorzitter van de raad van commissarissen bij Corus Nederland NV. In oktober 2002 bereikten Corus Group en Pechiney overeenstemming  waarbij de laatste de downstream aluminiumactiviteiten zou overnemen. Deze activiteiten vielen onder Corus Nederland. De raad van commissarissen en het bestuur van Corus Nederland waren niet of nauwelijks bij de transactie betrokken. Eind 2002 gaf de ondernemingsraad van Corus Nederland een negatief advies op de voorgenomen verkoop en de raad van commissarissen verzette zich ook tegen de verkoop. Berndsen vond dat Corus in Engeland harder moest reorganiseren, om te voorkomen dat de verlieslijdende Britse fabrieken Corus IJmuiden mee zou slepen in hun val. Hij was van mening dat de verkoopopbrengst grotendeels moest worden geïnvesteerd in de voormalige Hoogovens te IJmuiden. Het moederbedrijf in Londen wilde de opbrengst gebruiken om de schuldenlast te verkleinen. De zaak liep zo hoog op dat Corus Group naar de rechter stapte om de raad van commissarissen van Corus Nederland te laten instemmen met de verkoop. De Ondernemingskamer ging hierin niet mee en de verkoop ging niet door. In 2005 vertrok Berndsen en een jaar later zijn de aluminiumactiviteiten alsnog verkocht.

Sinds 1 juli 2004 is hij commissaris van Aon en was commissaris bij Rabobank Nederland.

Berndsen, Leo

I don't know anyone who likes him. But bloggers can meet anyway. We should not make it depend on a Trump, right?
I didn't mean to suggest that the only reason for bloggers to meet is a Trump protest. I'm sorry if I did. I think meeting other bloggers is a great idea regardless of Trump. I find the idea exciting and anxiety provoking.
I'm pretty sure it would.

NoiseFold Artists in Residence at Pilchuck
NoiseFold (David Stout and Cory Metcalf) were invited to the Pilchuck Glass School to transcode thier virtual sonic forms into glass.
The legacy of the artist-in-residence program dates back to the beginning of the school. Over the years, hundreds of notable artists from a wide range of artistic disciplines have come to Pilchuck to explore how glass can factor into their practice and visual vocabulary. Artists and collaborative groups are invited for each session and provided with their own artist assistant, who acts as a translator, giving technical guidance and assistance in the studio. Two craftspersons in residence (also known as gaffers), skilled glassblowers, help realize projects in hot glass.
NoiseFold (Cory Metcalf and David Stout)
Premiered at the John Donald Robb Composers' Symposium, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, preview performance at Spectrum Concert Series at UNT, Denton, TX, performed Oregon Center for the Arts at Southern Oregon University with the Left Edge Collective.
"Tao gives birth to one,
One gives birth to two,
Two gives birth to three,
Three gives birth to ten thousand things …"
from chapter 42, Tao Te Ching
The Ten Thousand Things is an audio-visual performance project that explores the interplay between inertia, noise and force of attraction within the digital simulation of spinning particle fields. Stout and Metcalf have engaged in an ongoing expedition through these virtual fields to discover latent images, sounds and musical potentials that give rise to often arcane and archetypal emblematic forms. The composition exists as a coordinate map of locations, virtual locales where the performer is likely to find a confluence of intersecting energies that will generate a visual and/or auditory event or behavior. The performance thus takes form as an exploratory journey into a vast noise-field in search of resonant phenomenon. One obvious corollary is the search for extraterrestrial life. Advancing this metaphor further, all of creation can be seen to exist as a vibratory nexus that is expressed through a near unending stream of structural phenomena that may or may not be perceivable to our augmented human perception. The spatial distance between these virtual nodes of aesthetic potential may be exceedingly far. When one arrives at the coordinate there may be a chimera of some shape or form, perhaps it is reminiscent of a vessel, fountain, field, blossom or undulating serpentine spire. The performer decides how to make these ephemeral structures "sing" with the distinct possibility that the moment may unfold into unexpected visual complexity, or be a fleeting encounter dependent on a very narrow window of existence.
The Future - Alicia Eggert & Safwat Saleem
The Future is a data-driven sculpture by UNT Sculpture faculty member Alicia Eggert and Safwat Saleem that illuminates the overall state of peace or conflict around the world. The sculpture is composed of 206 light bulbs that collectively spell out the word "FUTURE," with each individual light bulb representing one of the world's sovereign states. The base of each light bulb has been laser-engraved with the name of the sovereign state it represents, and the states are organized alphabetically from left to right. Bulbs representing states at peace are lit, while bulbs representing states in conflict are unlit. Determinations regarding the peace or conflict status of individual sovereign states are made on a weekly basis using data culled from various online sources, including the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) and warsintheworld.com.
The Future was commissioned by fineacts.co and has been exhibited at TED2015 in Vancouver and the Cartagena Data Festival in Colombia.

Collaboration on 3D-Printed Lattice Structures
UNT Professors James Thurman (Digital Fabrication) and Dr. Jaehyung Ju collaborate on 3D-Printed Lattice Structures. Professor Thurman describes the project,
"Since 2013, I have been working with Dr. Jaehyung Ju and his graduate students from UNT's College of Engineering. Doctoral student Jiwon Mun has been very involved in the hands-on aspects of the project. Dr. Ju's research involves the creation of lattice structures with a wide range of applications. These lattice structures are 3D printed in wax from digital models and then we have been working together to analyze the lost wax casting of them. Investing and casting has been especially challenging because most of the wax thicknesses are less than 1mm and many lattices include tubes. Personally, I have been amazed at our success rate. I look forward to continuing our experiments as we push the boundaries of what I thought possible with lost-wax casting."

Friday morning I took off mid-morning to run a few errands before taking the rental car back. Steve picked me up at noon and we went to Bernhausen Diesel to talk to them about the video/audio clip. I had transferred it to YouTube and emailed it to them earlier this morning. At least now they know the sound. The owner said that the only option at this point is to put the truck on the dyno machine when it's up and running. They have it installed in the pit but it still has to be wired in, tested and a little training will be required so it's uncertain if it will be available before we head south.
When Steve first met the owner he gave him a tour of his 2017 Ford in the shop. The box and wheels were off as he was part way modifying the suspension, tires and wheels. All back together now and with a body wrap too!
After our walk, we got down to some chores...Steve cleaned out the basement storage of the trailer while I did a few loads of laundry.
Saturday we had arranged a get together for lunch in Burnaby with family in the area. We headed out mid-morning because we needed to stop at an insurance agency and buy road insurance for the fifth-wheel. Last night we were relaxing outside after our work was done and Steve said "did we get insurance for the trailer?". He has no idea what made him think of it...but it turns out, no we hadn't, the tag on the licence plate expired last May! Wow, don't know how that happened. At least we were parked for most of that time!
It was great seeing everyone...we'll do it again next spring!
Sunday, with rain in the forecast later in the day, we got out for a walk in the morning. We took the trail here on the island that goes to Tavistock Point.
When we got back, Steve checked the weather forecast and found that the rain wasn't due to start until mid afternoon, so he decided to wash the trailer roof and toppers. He was just finishing up when the rain started.
Not very exciting this week...time to get some chores done! Monday Steve wanted to tackle a leak in the shower stall. He had noticed water in the basement below the shower when we had arrived...time to fix it! But first of all, we needed to make a trip to Home Depot for some caulking.
On the way home, he dropped me off in Fort Langley. I wanted to pop into the insurance agency there and get a quote from them on travel insurance. I have been doing a bunch of research and getting quotes for our 6 months down south this season. It's pretty costly...over $2000 for the two of us, so I am doing a lot of checking around.
When I got home, Steve was working on the shower stall, resealing all sources where water could get through.
Tuesday we had rain again...so it was an inside day for the most part. After our morning showers, Steve checked for any sign of the leak...to his dismay, it's still there. It doesn't seem to be coming from the drain...so he re-sealed other spots where he thought water was getting through. Paul's Mobile RV Service stopped by to have a look at the broken hinge on our screen door, so Steve talked to him about the leak. He gave Steve some suggestions on what may be the problem. So he worked on that while I worked on a blog update.
Wednesday Steve discovered that this leaky shower problem is becoming a bigger issue...he can't seem to figure out where it's leaking. All of his efforts haven't fixed it! We had another chore day...Steve washed one side of the trailer while I vacuumed and cleaned inside.
I guess some water splashed into the fridge vent while Steve was washing because all of a sudden the fridge started beeping with a warning...Li Op. (Limit Open) This first happened last winter in Quartzsite when we had a company come out to wash the rig. The fellow had sprayed so much water up into the fridge vent that the switch was wet and had to be taken apart, dried out and reset (thanks to the help of Earl then, Steve knows what to do). This time the switch wasn't wet but I guess it must have sensed some moisture. Steve was successful in resetting it...yay! Once taken apart and dried you need a strong magnet held up against the relay to reset it.
Thursday, getting extremely frustrated with the leaky shower stall that he can't seem to fix, Steve called Paul's Mobile RV Service to have him come out. Unfortunately, all he could do was leave a message for a return phone call...which he never got. He spent the day waxing the side of the trailer he washed yesterday...all the while waiting for a return call from Paul and worrying about the damage that the water under the shower stall may have done.
While he was outside waxing, I decided to tackle a job that I have been putting off...clean out my clothes cupboard. Once that chore was done, I continued work on our blog update.
Paul never did call back...so late afternoon, Steve tried to get in touch with him a number of times, each met with voicemail...sheesh!
Thursday morning Steve left shortly after 8:00 to take the truck to Bernhausen Diesel. About an hour and a half later I was ready to head off to pick him up...but just as I was leaving, he called to tell me not to bother right now. They were going to quickly check the truck out for a soot trail that would indicate the location of the squeal. Unfortunately they couldn't find anything. Steve called me to email the audio of the squeal I had taken while on our way down the Coquihalla towing the trailer here.
It was around 11:00 when Steve arrived home. They hadn't been able to open the file I had sent, so I would have to transfer it to YouTube for them. But not today, we have a car rental one last day, it's beautiful out, so we are going somewhere we have never been to here in the lower mainland...Grouse Mountain-The Peak of Vancouver.
We made our way to the bottom of the mountain, parked the jeep in one of the massive parking lots, purchased an 'all day' parking pass for $8.00 and went in search of of tickets for the ride up the mountain. There was quite a long line for tickets...but, although not posted anywhere, you can also buy tickets in the Guest Services building. That way you could bypass all those in this line and go directly to the tram loading area.
The first log Glenn found for his Grouse Mountain project was a 1200 year old tree that was found lying on the ground for 25 years in the Coquitlam water shed north east of Vancouver. The tree was cut into six pieces and transported to Grouse Mountain.
Grinder and Coola are orphaned grizzlies who live in the five-acre alpine sanctuary.
North Shore Tandem Paragliding offers to take you up with a skilled pilot (for a cost, of course). You can soar with the eagles on a 20 minute flight....no thanks but I think Steve would!
Next on the agenda was the Birds in Motion Demonstration...Witness the incredible hunting skills of the eagle, hawk and falcon. Prepare to be awed by the incredible flying skills of the Peregrine Falcon, the world's fastest living animal.
They started with a Bald Eagle..
These birds fly right over your head!
The popular spot was Altitudes Bistro but it was closing for a private event at 2:30 and there was a line-up to get in. So we went to Lupins Cafe...where we still had a bit of a wait but I'm sure we also saved ourselves a lot of money!
Another way of getting up to the top of the mountain is to hike the 'Grouse Grind'...it is a very popular trail that is quite the hike. I'd love to do it but just not sure if my knees could handle it...and once you start on your way up, there is no turning around (although, I bet you some have!) The Grouse Grind® is a 2.9-kilometre trail up the face of Grouse Mountain, commonly referred to as "Mother Nature's Stairmaster." Cooperatively supported by Grouse Mountain Resort and Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, this trail is very challenging. Keep in mind that there is a wide range of mountaintop trails that might better suit the average hiker.
The issue for me is sitting in the open chair. I am deathly afraid of heights but seem to manage as long as I am enclosed in a gondola or tram. Well...it scared the s#*t out of me on the way up! I had my eyes closed and was holding on for dear life most of the way...and it was so slow! I thought we'd never get up there! Not to mention my worst fear also materialized...it stopped mid way! Luckily it was only for a matter of seconds. The whole way up I was thinking...I'm not getting back on this...I'm walking down!
The Eye of the Wind...Inspiring and revolutionary, this is the world's first and only wind turbine that allows you to stand in a clear glass view POD at the top of the tower, three metres from its massive, rotating blades. Stand in awe of 360-degree views as you come face to face with the future of responsible energy.
Pollinator's Garden...Located just off the path near BeaverTails, this specially crafted garden attracts pollinators of all sorts. With interpretive signage and benches, it is a wonderful retreat during your mountaintop adventures. Did you know that there are 56 species of native bees in the Greater Vancouver Area? 250 in BC? Thousands across Canada? Wild Pollinators such as wild bees, flies, butterflies, wasps, hornets, moths, hummingbirds and others play a very important role in pollination all around us.
At this point Steve's camera battery died and his spare was dead too, so these are from my phone.
World-Famous Lumberjack Show...Grouse Mountain's Lumberjack Show features a crew of champion performers showcasing their skills atop Grouse Mountain. An impressive outdoor set features two logging camps from the early 1900s, where Johnny Nelson from the Green River logging camp prepares to battle Willie McGee from Blue Mountain to determine the top lumberjack. The 45-minute show offers fast paced entertainment and features log rolling, a 60-foot tree climb, two-man peg and raker saws, axe throwing, and an exciting springboard chop - the only three-board event in North America.
We were on the green team. The axe is in mid air and he got a bulls eye!
It was after 5:00 when we crowded onto the tram for the ride back down the mountain. What a great afternoon...so glad we were able to finally see the sights of Grouse Mountain!


Every project has the potential to be a truly unique and personal spatial experience. With the distinct seasonal changes of the Midwest, a garden can take on year-round dimension. Focusing on a master plan approach, we fully integrate your opportunities, needs, and goals with the future development and growth of your particular project. Our primary goal is to help you explore your options and ultimately achieve your site's full potential. Design meetings initiate an open dialogue, placing importance on your role in the development of a plan that can be phased-in effectively over time. Often this means one section at a time, in other circumstances (usually involving site access or seasonal timing) it makes sense to complete the whole project at once. We collect all client and site-related information, generate scaled design concepts and final designs with thorough cost estimates for the installation phase. This enables you to effectively choose the cost and project phasing method that best fits your budget and installation time-frame. By far the most rewarding part of every project is taking part in the process that enhances how we relax, connect, and spend time with one another in our surroundings. Unlike other household and facility additions our designs keep growing, adapting to seasonal changes, and strengthening over time.

Brook North's Hilarious This Doesn't End Well Is a Lovely, Fun Way to Start the New Year
By Martha Keravuori and Chuck Galle • January 6, 2019
South Stream Productions' co-founder and artistic director Brook North wrote the seven (and a half) plays that comprise this doesn't end well, and couches the advertising for them in incredibly negative language, claiming they have "have gained national and international renown for inspiring rejection letters from many of the most prestigious 10-minute play competitions in the world." However, these reviewers, along with a delighted opening-night audience on Friday, Jan. 4th, at Sonorous Road Theatre & Film Studio in Raleigh, NC, found them to be highly meritorious; and although we cannot speak for the audience, we ourselves consider them to be the best 10-minute plays that we've seen.
Appropriately for a collection of 10-minute plays, the stage is bare, and each play is set as it comes up. Minimalist sets are de rigueur for such shows, and these sets represent the essence of stagecraft. A single three-post section of a horserace fence for a couple of bettors needed absolutely nothing more. An office four-cubicle mouse maze needs no embellishment to identify itself.
Brook North, who wrote and directed these plays, has an O'Henry-like talent for the ironic, and also for taking a relatively non-dramatic moment into a serious, tense situation with one line or move.
Julie Oliver delivers four outstanding appearances, including the prologue, which is what North calls his "half" a play. From lady-like gangstah lady, to curious alien, to janitorial worker is a pretty wide selection of roles as it is, but starting off the show as an anxious playwright comes close to the gamut from A to Z.
Katie Barrett has an equally wide spectrum to fill, from wise information clerk in a high school, through a smart-aleck office worker, an ordinary pet-loving house-wife and the girlfriend of a physics professor. Barrett's energy and kaleidoscopic characterizations are becoming more and more well known to area theatergoers.
John Honeycutt, one of the mainstays of area theater and the co-founder of South Stream Productions with North, brings us an ambitious archeologist, hell-bent on locating an ancient ruin that his former colleague found; the perpetually depressed office worker making everyone miserable; and a race track tout. It's a nice spread, and Honeycutt handles all these roles with finesse.
Lou Campbell manages four tricky roles: a big-business-man who could sell snow to eskimos (he might remind you of someone), a handyman for an illegal enterprise, an office manager, and one of the cutest aliens you ever did see.
Natalie Turgeon plays the graduate assistant to the aforementioned archeologist, one of the office workers, a gerbil, and a physics professor. Turgeon has a down-to-earth style, which makes her just-right for all four parts.
David Thomas sidles up cozily, trying to get it on with the girl at the information desk at a high school, is an office worker with a dirty mind, and later plays one of the bettors at the race track. Thomas does good work in all three roles.
Ben Apple does a fine job as a young hoodlum, trying to get up in the underworld; an office worker; the owner of a gerbil who has just come across a couple of stranded aliens; and a young man at a stream.
this doesn't end well is a lovely and hilariously fun way to start off the New Year. Stick your tongue in your cheek and go have a good time.

SCHENECTADY, NY—The No. 15/16 Union College men's hockey team fell behind early and could not find its way back from a 3-0 deficit, falling 3-1 against Clarkson, Saturday at Messa Rink. The Dutchmen, who suffered their first home and league loss of the season, go to 8-3-2 overall and 4-1-1 in ECAC Hockey, while the Golden Knights move to 6-5-1 overall and 3-1-1 in conference play.
Alex Sakellaropoulos (7-1-1) made 26 saves and Brett Supinski scored his first goal of the season for Union. Spencer Foo extended his point streak to 11 games with an assist and Jeff Taylor also added a helper.
First-year goaltender Jake Kielly turned away 36 shots, including 17 on the penalty kill, for his fifth win of the season for Clarkson. Nico Sturm, Brett Gervais and A.J. Fossen all scored for the Golden Knights and Sheldon Rampal contributed three assists.
Clarkson jumped out to a 1-0 at 1:04 of the first when Nico Sturm guided Devin Brosseau's pass over Sakellaropoulos' blocker. Gervais extended the lead at 7:10, scoring with a wraparound for his second of the season.
A.J. Fossen put the Golden Knights ahead 3-0 in the with 47 seconds left in the second, redirecting a James De Haas shot from the point past a screened Sakellaropoulos. The goal was Fossen's third of the year.
Union bounced back quickly in the third, pulling back within two with a Supinski power-play goal 27 seconds into the frame. Supinski took a pass from Foo at the bottom of the left circle and snuck a shot through Kielly's legs for his first of the season.
The Dutchmen outshot the Golden Knights 13-5 in the third period, but Kielly was up to the task, stopping the final 12 shots of the stanza to secure his fifth win of the season.
Union outshot Clarkson 37-29 and went 1-for-9 on the power play, while the Golden Knights finished 0-for-3.
The Dutchmen are off until starting a six game road swing at Princeton on December 2. They return to Messa Rink on Dec. 31, hosting defending national champion North Dakota at 4 p.m.

Staples Center Upper Level End Seating
A large wall of suites separate the upper and lower levels at the Staples Center, placing the 300 level sections a great distance from the court. Nowhere is this felt more than behind the baskets in sections 307-312 and 324-329.
More often that not, tickets in these sections are among the least expensive for a Lakers or Clippers game. They're ideal for families or large groups who care less about a great view and more about a cheap ticket price or just the experience of attending a game.
Concession options on the arena ends are rather limited, so fans are encouraged to grab snacks and drinks at one of the stands near center court at section 301 or 318.
Despite all of the disadvantages, one advantage of sitting in these sections is that they're smaller than almost every other section. With fewer rows per section and fewer seats per row, it's easy to get in and out without much hassle. - RateYourSeats.com

It's hard to find a cheap seat these days to see Lebron and The Lakers but the 300 level section usually isn't too bad. The view is pretty tough from behind the basket such as within section 309. From here, it is very difficult to see if the ball is making it through the hoop or rimming out. When th...

The College Centre for Quality Improvement (CCQI) works with mental health services to assess and improve the quality of care they provide. We work with more than 90% of mental health service providers in the UK and focus on four key areas: quality networks, accreditation, national clinical audits, and research and evaluation.
Our quality and accreditation projects work with a range of mental health services through a process of regular peer and self-review against service standards. Our work supports services to improve the quality of care they offer.
Our networks work with both inpatient and community mental health services, as well as specialist services such as forensic and prison facilities, enabling environments and therapeutic communities.
For more information on our quality networks, including a list of all current quality and accreditation networks, please see the quality network section.
Most of our quality networks offer accreditation. We accredit services who can demonstrate a high level of compliance with our quality standards.
To maintain accreditation, the service needs to demonstrate consistently high standards over time by being reviewed at regular periods.
The process looks for evidence that staff members are well trained, well supported and working within organised and safe systems. Services also need to demonstrate that they provide good quality care to patients and that they have the appropriate equipment and facilities to do this.
As part of our accreditation process, we collect feedback from local patients and carers. A service can only be accredited if they are satisfied with the overall quality of the service.
Our National Clinical Audits aim to improve patient care and outcomes through systematic review of care against explicit criteria and the implementation of change.
ACP 360 is a system used by consultants to log multi-source feedback that they can use for appraisal and revalidation.
MAEP helps expert psychiatric witnesses, who provide their expert opinion on the mental health of people in court cases, collect feedback. Feedback is collected from people involved in the case, such as solicitors and barristers.
The Health Services Research Team conducts both large scale, national research and in-depth qualitative studies.
Our work provides insight into the experiences of both mental health professionals and those living with mental health problems, focusing on under-studied aspects of healthcare provision and public health.
For more information on our current and past research projects, please see the research and evaluation section.
In 2017, we were awarded £2.3 million of new contracts to run national clinical audits focusing on psychosis (NCAP) and anxiety & depression (NCAAD).
Our work has been found to have helped improve the physical healthcare received by people with psychosis, as evidenced by an increase in monitoring and intervention (where needed) of all seven physical health measures as defined by the CQUIN, from 39% of inpatients in 2014/15 to 59% in 2016/17.
Access to therapy and activity, increasing from 44% in 2007 to 91% in 2016.
Crisis plans being in place for absconding patients, increasing from 33% in 2007 to 93% in 2016.
Addressing blind spots in wards, increasing from 31% in 2007 to 98% in 2016.
Chaplin, R., Raphael, H. and Beavon, M. (2018). The Impact of Accreditation for 10 Years on Inpatient Units for Adults of Working Age in the United Kingdom.
What does it mean for your team to be accredited?
"The process of participating and having to produce evidence of meeting the standards has resulted in driving up our standards. It also gave us the opportunity to publicise the quality of our service..."
"It is recognition of the team's hard work. And having an independent body accredit you also serves as a benchmark for patients..."
"It justified the years of hard work. I have also seen a growth in staff confidence - they have more understanding of timescales and are more eager to offer solutions to problems..."
"The staff felt the peer review was a positive experience which they enjoyed. It was very good and we didn't feel under pressure..."

Q: how to initialization script C++ before windows shutdown i have no ideal for initialization code c++ before windows shutdown. For protect algorithm of my code when running. Any ideal here?

A: I am not sorry to report you cannot do this reliably. You can handle WM_QUERYENDSESSION or WM_ENDSESSION Windows messages, but that really traps logoff not shutdown. Alternately you could try a Windows service and react to the stop signal. But that is exactly that, your service being stopped.
HOWEVER; none of this happens reliably. If you have some defenses best broken by the shutdown code not running, somebody who wants to break them will just power the machine off. If I thought you were writing software that needed to be fault tolerant I would now advise you on crash-only software.
To make a backing store that can survive being powered off without being corrupted, the cheapest way is to use sqlite.

A: I think you should create an object of your own class and write something inside the destructor (or ~YourClass()).

See Bluetone, you are complaining for nothing.
Now you truly know what it was like for smokers.
And when smokers asked people to stand with us and help us protect ourselves from a rapacious government, you all believed the anti-smokers when they said that the slippery slope was all a nasty lie concocted by Big Tobacco.
We are all smokers now.
I really, really hope you can see the difference in second hand smoke that affects lots of people besides the smoker and the ingestion of sugary drinks which affects only the user?
To equate the health risks of sugary drinks with thise of tobacco is absurd.
Good. soda is toxic. Fat slobs are causing huge increases in medical costs because they don't ask for water.
Fat slobs already drink diet soda.
This tax will not change their habits but will likely make more people switch to fake sugar diet drinks.
I'm not fat nor a slob, but when I want a soda I should be able to buy one. If we are going to tax unhealthy food let's start with white bread, all fried foods, red meat, cookies and candies, why just single out soda. Some say dairy is unhealthy. It's a slippery slope.
Apparently, CostCo of all places has changed their signage. They have the price sans tax with the tax amount listed underneath and then the total. Basically, the tax is so much that it more or less doubled the cost of soda overnight. CostCo has also helpfully posted signage directing their shoppers to other CostCos outside the Seattle metro where they can avoid that cost.
It's killing you anyways. 39 grams of sugar per can of Coke is bad for you.
I quit drinking it regular- but I still drink the occasional sugar drinks.
I think what most people fail to realize is exactly HOW MUCH sugar that is.
For reference, that 12oz can has 39 grams of sugar... but a full grown man on a 2,000 calorie diet should be consuming *no more* than 24 grams of sugar in a day. That's not "about" 24 grams, that's between 0 and 24.
A burst of sugar like that causes no shortage of bad things to happen in your body, both short and long term... but in that volume it's devastating. But that isn't the real problem... the real problem is consuming that much sugar regularly.
"That Sugar Film" has a ton of great information about the subject, and is a great watch for the family.
Even now, Today I had an energy drink with breakfast for whatever reason. That drink had 24 grams of sugar, which means before I even bit into my breakfast I was at 100% of my sugar for the day.
Then, breakfast had some jelly. And some fruit. I'm probably at 300% my sugar intake for the day and I've still got one more meal and a snack to go.
A regular can of coke would add another 163% to that.
Anyone with half an ounce of sense knows it's bad for you and you shouldn't drink it except as maybe a rare treat.
But it's not the government's place to tell us what we can and cannot do.
If people want to drink six 3-liters a day, that's their own stupidity.

The heart of An Horse's magic is rubbery and elastic. Rows of slinky, hypnotic spirals, widening middle-out. They've never spun to more vibrant and dynamic impact than on their third album Modern Air.
Loosely from wherever-you're-seeing-them-play-tonight-by-way-of-Brisbane-to-Montreal-and-New-York, Kate & Damon woke up from a six-year nap to make their best, broadest and most accomplished album, doubling-down on and clarifying their strongest strengths while casually developing and showcasing a career's-worth of new ones.
Before their 6 year break, An Horse were 2 albums into their career and touring non-stop with the likes of Tegan and Sara, Death Cab for Cutie, Silversun Pickups, Nada Surf, Cage the Elephant, and Brand New when a series of distracting life events forced them into a hiatus of sorts. That hiatus led to an extended break from touring and recording that's finally ending with their 2019 album Modern Air, out May 3rd on Lame-O Records.
The songs on their new record manage to be both propulsive and loping, lean mission statements about negotiating modern living easter-egged with intelligence and humour, melodic and percussive ear candy, heart and teeth, hope and anger.
They sound like themselves, two-headed and singularly focused, a particularly effective evolutionary step in a long tradition of of guitar-based indie-rock, angular in spaces, jangly in others, sometimes both at the same time. They take a familiar vocabulary and teach it new words, one sugary harmony barbed-wired to unflinching insight at a time.
Modern Air is An Horse at their most realized, and it's right on time. Some naps are worth taking.

Catalyst Development has merged with global financial services specialists Sionic Advisors
M&A: Buy-Side
Livingstone's Business Services sector team has advised London-based Catalyst Development, an award-winning financial markets consulting firm, on its merger with global financial services specialists Sionic Advisors. The deal will create one of the world's largest and fastest growing specialist consulting firms, operating with a fully internationalized platform for their global client base. Following the merger, Catalyst will have a combined revenue of over $60M and more than 300 professionals based in a dozen locations.
Backed by investment from private equity firm Livingbridge since 2017, Catalyst specializes in regulatory-driven change, organizational improvement and talent development programs for global financial institutions. Since its foundation in 1994, Catalyst has worked with more than 70 clients in over 30 financial centers worldwide, including nine out of the world's top 12 investment banks, and has mentored more than 250 of the most senior figures in financial markets.
Sionic delivers change, optimization and strategic initiatives to a wide range of financial services institutions from bases in more than eight countries. This merger follows Catalyst's acquisition of asset and wealth management specialists Knadel in February 2018.
The combined business now plans to accelerate its growth of 'specialism at scale' in response to client demand. Global spend on financial services consulting in 2018 was £38bn, up from $17bn in 2008, with 8–10% average forecast growth. Over 70% of that spend relates to technology, operations, risk and regulatory compliance and change in banking, capital markets and insurance in North America, Europe and Asia: exactly the combined firm's key areas of expertise.
This is the third deal Livingstone has advised Catalyst on, having supported their growth strategy since the 2017 buy-out backed by Livingbridge, the subsequent acquisition of Knadel in 2018 and the merger with Sionic.
Catalyst Group CEO, Andrew Middleton, comments: "This is a transformational merger that will create a world-leading specialist firm. Sionic has highly regarded expertise in our core banking market, enabling us to scale our delivery of complex assignments for clients globally thanks to their leading position in the US and Canada."
Sionic Co-Founder and Group CEO, Craig Sher, added: "This is a perfect match. We're known as experts in our field and as fast-growth disruptors of outdated models of consultancy. Like Catalyst, we deliver measurable value and best-in-class change services in control and governance, regulatory change, operations, risk, finance and technology. We're looking forward to working together to expand our services and reach to create an even bigger and better firm for our clients, staff and investors alike."
Livingbridge Partner, Pete Clarke, commented: "The Livingstone M&A and Debt Advisory teams played a key role in supporting Livingbridge and the Catalyst team throughout this complex cross-border transaction and we highly value their ongoing advice and execution support."
Will Evans, Associate Director at Livingstone concluded: "We are delighted to have advised Catalyst and Livingbridge on this latest milestone in the Group's development. The strategic fit with Sionic is compelling and gives the group an established international platform to deliver its growth strategy and support its clients on a global basis."

Grandma Lo-Fi is a compassionate look at the passion of a woman who, upon reaching seventy years old, realised that she had melodies inside her that needed to be released. Armed with only the most lo-fi of recording equipment and, essentially, the universe that was stored in her mind, the lively Sigridur Nielsdottir spent the next seven years creating fifty nine full-length albums of her compositions.
A Hollywood narrative would have considered making it's protagonist a late-life musical prodigy whose mind-blowing natural ability would have rivaled the works of Mozart and Beethoven. Yet, in the real world events which form this documentary, Nielsdottir is simply a self-taught musician who creates almost minimalist works of simplicity - what drives her art is not so much bravura talent but something sorely lacking in much of society: sincerity.
Charmingly, Nielsdottir is a lady who comes across as someone with no airs and graces - sure, she achieves cult status and gets mentioned for her work by a few famous people but the inspiration behind her compositions is nothing as vacuous as recognition. Her recordings are created for an audience of one; if her melodies can bring joy to the world, that's a lovely bonus. Here, co-directors Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir, Orri Jonsson and Kristín Björk Kristjánsdóttir coax out a few revealing thoughts on how the lady known as Grandma Lo-Fi approaches recording and, in doing so, paint a portrait of a kindly, imaginative lady with real joy in her existence.
The only real flaw to this delightful featurette is the occasional musical interlude by self-concious hipster musicians who appear to reside at the opposite end of the spectrum to Nielsdottir - whilst her music was conjured up entirely from the soul, a parade of young adults ape her style with a wry smirk verging on mockery rather than celebration. Thankfully, rather than spoiling the documentary, these musicians highlighted what exactly made Grandma Lo-Fi so special - in a battle of irony vs earnesty, it is the seventy year old lady who made music because her heart told her to above all else who steals our hearts and admiration. By sharing the love inside, the world becomes an infinitely more beautiful place.
Aye - it's incredibly charming!


Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: "On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. You shall put in it the ark of the Testimony, and partition off the ark with the veil. You shall bring in the table and arrange the things that are to be set in order on it; and you shall bring in the lampstand and light its lamps. You shall also set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the Testimony, and put up the screen for the door of the tabernacle."
