"Welcome for All" is the second training workshop organized by Bookingbility with Federalberghi Palermo.
An exciting and very important moment. On September 20, 2016, Bookingbility won the National Award for Services Innovation.
Bookingbility is among the 10 startups selected for the incubator Tim #Wcap Catania, winning a grant and a program for the acceleration and incubation.
From idea to enterprise, Bookingbility was born from the Startup Weekend Tourism Edition of Palermo, the competition that won in April 2015.
Properties can now subscribe to Bookingbility and use their extranet for rates and availability.

The National Dog Show has become just about as important to Thanksgiving as turkey and pie. After the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is over, pretty much everyone in America tunes in to watch a bunch of adorable dogs compete for the top prize, Best In Show. It even had its own hashtag this year —#dogthanking, which Purina launched as a way to not only promote the dog show and raise money for important canine health causes, but also for social media users to show their gratitude for their faithful, furry friends. (Do we spy a new Thanksgiving Twitter tradition? Yes, I believe we do. And it gives us heart eyes. More doggy tweets, please!)
But let's get to the exciting part! Who was named top dog? We need to know. The big winner this year was a Skye Terrier named Charlie. And guys, he's the perfect pick for the canine king of Thanksgiving because he's all kinds of adorable. I mean, look at him…
That hair! Those ears! Stop it right now, Charlie. We can't handle this level of cute while we're still recovering from our pie hangover. We just can't. Charlie's full name is GCH CH Cragsmoor Good Time Charlie (because a fancy dog deserves a fancy name, obviously), and he's no stranger to the dog show circuit. Earlier this year, he was the reserve winner (which basically means first runner up) at the famous Westminster Kennel Club dog show. As of yesterday, he's got 79 Best in Show titles. So bow down to this gorgeous little guy. He's a rock star. Just check out his moves!
If you've never heard of a Skye Terrier before, it's probably because they're not super common. The UK's Kennel Club even says it's "one of the most endangered native dog breeds in the United Kingdom." The breed comes from Scotland's Isle of Skye, where it originally hunted fox and otters on the island's rocky shores. Now, they mainly spend their time providing great company and looking adorable. We're guessing Charlie would be the perfect date for cuddling and binge-watching Outlander. Just a hunch.
After his big win, the National Dog Show sent out a congratulatory tweet calling Charlie "perfect in every way." We couldn't agree more!
Congrats, Charlie!

SIUE research center names new business development specialist
The National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville recently added Aimee Dillenberger as its new public policy and business development specialist.
Dillenberger, of Waterloo, earned a master's in business administration last month from the University of Mississippi, where she also earned a bachelor's of public policy leadership in 2019 and minored in Spanish.
"With the onset of COVID-19, and the subsequent downturn in the economy, it became increasingly important for NCERC to have someone on staff who can simultaneously work both public policy and business development," said NCERC Executive Director John Caupert. "NCERC found that individual in Aimee Dillenberger. Her undergraduate public policy degree complemented by her MBA makes her the perfect candidate to handle those dual responsibilities."
Dillenberger will be responsible for developing internal business development plans for external sales of NCERC's analytical, consulting, fermentation and pilot plant services. She will also develop programs to engage stakeholders and prospective clients about contractual research and collaboration opportunities with NCERC. Additionally, she will assist with biorenewables public policy and outreach to academic institutions, trade associations and the private sector.
"NCERC is a shining example of a public/private partnership success story," said Caupert. "Public, meaning NCERC was created by Congress in the 1996 Farm Bill. The efforts of the U.S. Congress were complemented by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and the Illinois General Assembly.
"The Illinois General Assembly recognizes NCERC as a Biorefining Center of Excellence. The efforts by Congress and the General Assembly were to drive private sector companies to the NCERC for proof of concept, validation and technology scale-up. For nearly 17 years, NCERC has been the leading example of how public/private partnerships should work."
About the NCERC
The NCERC is a nationally recognized research center dedicated to the development and commercialization of biofuels, specialty chemicals and other renewable compounds. The Center's fully functional dry grind pilot plant and laboratories are equipped with advanced biofuels capabilities, including corn fractionation, pretreatment, and a fermentation suite with 5, 30, 150 and 1500L scale-up.

How To Start Youtube Live Stream
If you're considering going live on Facebook you've probably been thinking about the many Facebook live and YouTube video applications available. While the features vary between programs however, there's one common feature: the possibility of sharing your screen with the world. Facebook has some limitations. Other software will allow you to broadcast to all three. However, some software can automatize your Facebook Live posts.
The first is YouTube Live. Live video streams can be streamed content to multiple sites simultaneously with an account on YouTube account.

"I didn't see a smile from (Brendan Gallagher) tonight, to be honest with you. I just saw the blood dripping down his face."
As P.K. Subban was being interviewed outside the Nashville Predators' dressing room following Saturday night's 3-2 shootout win over the Canadiens at the Bell Centre, his former teammates Carey Price and Alex Galchenyuk were standing in the background waiting to talk with him.
Not surprisingly, Brendan Gallagher wasn't there.
Almost two years after the Canadiens traded Subban to the Predators in exchange for Shea Weber, it has become pretty obvious Gallagher and Subban don't like each other. They had a couple of shoving matches during the first period and early in the second Gallagher tried to take a run at Subban, but bounced off him, fell hard to the ice and had to leave for a few shifts to have a cut over his right eye repaired.
After Gallagher returned, he scored the first goal of the game after Subban blocked his shot and he picked up the rebound before beating goalie Pekka Rinne. During his goal celebration, Gallagher skated by the Predators bench and appeared to say something to Subban.
Subban did not have a good game. He looked nervous at times and battled the puck. Galchenyuk went around him once and Max Pacioretty beat him with an inside-out move that had Subban shouting at the Canadiens captain afterward. In the third period, Subban made a brutal giveaway on the power play that resulted in a scoring chance that Paul Byron couldn't finish.Subban finished the night minus-1 with no points while logging 26:51 of ice time. He had one shot, two hits, four blocked shots and four giveaways.
The Predators, who are one of the best teams in the NHL, did not play very well against the Canadiens, who are one of the worst. The Canadiens outshot the Predators 49-32, including 10-2 in overtime when Rinne was superb. The Canadiens' Jonathan Drouin sent the game into OT when he scored with 14 seconds left in the third period. Rinne stopped Byron, Drouin and Pacioretty in the shootout, while Ryan Ellis scored the winner for the Predators.
It was another case of the offensively challenged Canadiens being unable to finish their chances.
This was only Subban's second game at the Bell Centre since The Trade and the Predators lost 2-1 last season, so this victory was very sweet for him and his post-game smile was very bright.
With that, the interview was over and Subban walked over to meet his buddies Price and Galchenyuk.
You know Gallagher wasn't smiling.


You need a faster way to sort large data sets directly from Software AG Natural; the native sort function may not have the efficiency you need.
You may also require an affordable, convenient, and faster facility for large file processing and reporting, while sourcing and targeting huge work files to and from Natural.
Finally, you may need CoSort to manipulate, mask, replicate, report from, or otherwise work with data in Adabas sources and targets.
IRI CoSort contains a plug'n'play sort library for users of Natural on Unix. With no user impact and a simple Makefile link, the CoSort engine can sort within Natural up to six times faster than the native sort.
where the /INFILE(s) into, and /OUTFILE(s) from SortCL can be Natural WORK FILEs. This allows greater flexibility for off-loading high volume file manipulation, and reformatting jobs to SortCL. SortCL functions also protect field data at risk.
CoSort and Natural are also used in the 'Operational Processing for Unix' (OPX) legacy migration application environment developed by Tetrad Systems. OPX integrates easily with Software AG Natural tools, and includes a SORT wrapper interface to CoSort for re-hosting and extending JCL sort functionality.
can now also use partner drivers to directly work with data in Adabas repositories in the IRI Workbench graphical IDE, built on Eclipse™.


Mary's First Christmas by Walter Wangerin Jr.
AND THE 2009 CHRISTMAS BOOK and CRAFT LIST!
great list-you'd make a terrific children's librarian-guess you are one!
Love it! Our favorite is Santa and the Christ Child. Best ever, bring some tissues!
I always love your lists. You have got to check out Mortimer's Christmas Manger. So so sweet!
That's a great list...unfortunately, I've only read about four of them. We will have to remedy that this year! Thanks for the list!
Great list, we need to head to the library.
The library bus comes tomorrow. I will get about 20 books just for Christmas. We might just might get a craft too.
Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to hunt some of these down. :) Pinned it!
Wonderful list. There as just so many great Christmas books out there to choose from. We brought home a haul of about 25 books from the library yesterday. Between those and the books we already have in the house we have plenty of Christmas reading! Maybe.
I love The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey, also. I get choked up every time I read it out loud.
I've always loved the Donkey's Dream! Great post and list.
I'm so glad that you are not an "Anti-Santa-ite". Your approach is wonderful.
One of my favorites is "Mortimer's Christmas Manger." It's so sweet.

Q: A term for ads masquerading as independent journalism There's a Russian word "джинса" (here's an article in Russian if one wonders) for articles that feel like ads (and most probably are de-facto hidden ads indeed) but not officially marked as such. My question is, apart from the term "hidden ad", is there a specific English term for this?

A: If the article is presented as being from the public or expressing a populist opinion, you might also hear the term astroturf or astroturfing applied. These terms are sometimes capitalized, as AstroTurf is a brand name of artifical grass (as a play on the term "grassroots" to mean a local or populist movement/agenda).
Wikipedia's article on astroturfing describes it as "masking the sponsors":

Astroturfing is the practice of masking the sponsors of a message or organization (e.g., political, advertising, religious or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from and is supported by grassroots participants.

From Wiktionary's page on astroturf (adj):

Of a group created by a larger organisation (especially a corporation or political party), but presenting itself as a grassroots organisation.

For reference, from Wiktionary's page on grassroots (adj):

Of, or relating to people or society at the local level, particularly in politics, social movements, etc.; of the grass roots.

In this sense "astroturfing" is the generic term that can be applied to legal and illegal advertising content that is not clearly marked, where "advertorial" or "sponsored content" are labels generally applied by the publishers to disclose that sponsorship and avoid legal repercussions.

A: A newspaper or magazine article, which is written in the form of an editorial article, but is actually promoting a product is often called an advertorial, but some marketing/advertising people prefer the term "Native Advertising" and attempt to create a distinction between this and advertorials, though to me the distinction is vague at best.
Often magazines will have ads that are created by third-parties which are deliberately designed to resemble the appearance of a legitimate news article, by using layout and fonts similar to the magazine's own. Often they are required to provide some sort of disclaimer that it's actually an ad, but the disclaimer is generally small and easily missed. Some magazines actually cooperate in creating such advertising, even doing the layout. Sometimes an actual article or editorial is written by a staff writer, but simply contains promotional content. This is very common with local area magazines or TV news programs.

A: We have the term infomercial (coined as a combination of "information" and "commercial").

infomercial NOUN
  North American
  An advertising film which promotes a product in an informative and supposedly objective style.
LEXICO

A: If you speak of editorial independence the expression often used to indicate both insufficient disclosure of interests or actual incentive payments is "Chequebook Journalism".

A: If I read your question correctly, you are talking about print or online media that  features the written word, because you've used the term "article".
I worked in advertising for more than 25 years. "Infomercial" is used for broadcast media -- audio or video.
The term most often used for media featuring the written word is "advertorial".  For example, special sections in newspapers that are sponsored by corporations or regional tourism boards are advertorials.

A: Sponsored Content is often used for a news story partly or wholly paid for by the seller.  The following promotes the use of sponsored content. https://www.activecampaign.com/blog/sponsored-content. There seems to be no single general word, only phrases.
Sponsored Content: What You Need to Know (and 9 Examples!)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
ERNIE SANTERALLI
"Paid post"
"Presented by"
"Sponsored by"
"Partnered with"
"Promoted"
"Affiliated with"
"Powered by"
. . . These phrases are indicators of sponsored content. They mean that a brand has spent some money to get some content in front of you.

A: I like the term "Checkbook Journalism" or "Prostituted Journalism". Journalism should be about the truth. Most pieces are now just the opinion of whoever is paying the journalist. Pay can be in the from of advertising or a paycheck. Sad but true, unless we are independently wealthy, but we have to serve somebody. Being your own man as Kipling said is a hard business. So if you can buy a CNN or a journalist you can have your opinion presented as the "Truth". The rest of us will be limited in our own sources for the truth.
Don M

A: "subliminal advertising"

*

*Subliminal advertising tries to influence people without them being aware of it, for example by showing messages for such a short time that people read them without realizing that they have done so.  CD
subliminal - not recognized or understood by the conscious mind, but still having an influence on it. CD

Examples:

*

*This newspaper was full of subliminal messages about the new product

*His speech was full of subliminal prejudice, which will surely influence some voters.

Dictionary.com defines subliminal message as a technique used in marKeting and other media to influence people without their being aware of what the messenger is doing.  This may involve the use of split second flashes of text, hidden images, or subtle cues that affect the audience at a level below conscious awareness.

Soccer Game News – EA Strikes Exclusive Deal with Barcelona, PES Now Has Argentinian Teams
When you think about soccer, FC Barcelona is one of the teams that likely comes to mind, especially because its forward, Lionel Messi, is arguably the best player in the world and co-cover athlete for FIFA 14. EA Sports certainly recognized this when it announced this morning that it settled on a three-year exclusive agreement to become the "official video game partner" of the soccer club. With the partnership in place, EA captured 3D head scans of 17 Barcelona players for use in FIFA 14.
Meanwhile, Konami recently announced an agreement to bring 20 soccer teams from the Argentinian Football Association to Pro Evolution Soccer 2014. The license isn't on an exclusive basis according to Konami's announcement. The list of 20 AFA teams to be officially licensed (featuring correct kits, logos and team colors) for the game can be found after the break. Local Argentinian Fox Sports announcers Mariano Closs and Fernando Niembro will also be included in the game.

Police seek identity of burglars
On July 21, 2018, Shreveport Police received reports of a vehicle burglary. The victim reported that he had been on vacation and returned to find his vehicle burglarized and a gun taken from within.
Investigators assigned to the case were able to retrieve video from the victim's home surveillance cameras. The burglary occurred on July 14, 2018. The video shows a black male exit a van/suv and approach the victim's vehicle. The suspect entered the truck through an unlocked door and immediately located and took a handgun and returned to the van/suv. Another black male entered the driver's side of the vehicle and began plundering through the contents. The suspect that initially entered the vehicle returned to the car and helped the second suspect continue to rummage through the vehicle. The van proceeded down the street and the two suspects eventually left on foot.

Q: Laravel - how to pass parameter to action link from js I'm trying to dynamically build an action link for adding items to a database in Laravel. The problem is that I need to pass a parameter with category_id, which I only get after selecting the category in html select element.
I thought about using the even onChange() on select element, and then building up the link in js function, and finally setting it to "a" element with the help of js selector. However this approach doesn't work.
var link = "{{ action('ItemController@create', [ 'id' =>"+selectedId.value+"]) }}";
document.getElementById("AddItemLink").href = link;

Is producing: http://localhost:8000/item/create/+selectedId.value+
What I need to get is: http://localhost:8000/item/create/8
If I do console.log(selectedId.value), the output is correct - 8.
Any ideas how to deal with this?

A: You can do that,
var link = "/item/create/"+ selectedId.value;

document.getElementById("AddItemLink").href = link;


THIS ARTICLE FIRST APPEARED ON THE FIRST YEAR BLOG.
Back in August I received our city's program guide, I am sure a lot of you receive those, listing all of the activities for the next semester. I was flipping through it and I saw an advertisement for the annual turkey trot on Thanksgiving. I was getting excited about it, especially since it's free, I thought Ryan and I should do this! What better way to start our Thanksgiving Day then with a run!
So I tore the ad out of the book and clipped it to our fridge. Luckily I didn't put anything in front of the paper so whenever I was in the kitchen doing dishes, I could look over and remember that the turkey trot is coming up!
I thought since the flyer had been hanging up for 2 months I should probably tell Ryan that I made plans for us to run the turkey trot on Thanksgiving day. So we had a quick chat about it back in October, and he wasn't too excited. But I convinced him that we should do it, since it's only a one mile run, and it would be good for us to work out before we eat all day long.
So it was settled, we were doing the turkey trot.
But you know what? …the flyer has been staring at me, like it's out to get me, now that it's getting closer to Thanksgiving!
And all that excitement I had a few months ago has completely worn off.
There is no possible way that getting up early and putting on my running tights on Thanksgiving sounds like fun. All I want to do is cozy up to the yule log on tv and watch the Macy's Day Parade while Ryan and I bake our annual thanksgiving mini chocolate lava cakes.


Thank you for the opportunity to speak about the number-one domestic issue facing our country today: How to improve our schools so that every child has an opportunity to use their God-given talents to the max, contribute to society, and live the American Dream.
There's going to be a lot of talk about what's wrong with our education system. That's appropriate because bad schools continue to steal opportunities away from too many of our young people.


Could some of your code be used to create nice headless (Open)JDKs for servers without X installed?
Anders: yes, that is exactly what cacio-tta does. Bundling this with OpenJDK to build a headless derivative is on our todo list.
I've read in this and an older post that you were working on a directfb backend for OpenJDK. Since I'm playing around with an application on an embedded device I'd love to try it out. Unfortunately the code for the directfb port isn't in the tarball/repo for Caciocavallo 1.1 (as stated in the post). Is there any possibility to get my hands on that backend? Or will it not be released to the public?
Unfortunately I have not checked in the DirectFB port yet, and it is by far not in a shape to be released. I barely have a very early prototype running. I hope to check it into the repository soon, when I find some time, and then we can probably work on it together!?


"I dont believe in any religion. Its all made up. Religion is an organized thing by human beings to convince other people to follow a way of speaking to God. I think Gods in everybody, and you have to be in touch with yourself and your god within you." (Mark Burnett, television producer of Survivor and The Apprentice). This has been the conclusion of some people: there is no God but God is simply a fixture of mans imagination. How is the human race supposed to know if there is a God? Is there a way that God has revealed himself to all people so we can know that he does exist or if he is merely a figment of imagination?
God has revealed himself through general revelation. The creation alone reveals to all people that there is a higher being than ourselves. This idea is not the invention of man but is built so people could use logic and reason to understand someone must have put this world into being. Humans could not create all that is around us. Therefore, there is something greater than ourselves that put the creation here.
There are two reasons we know someone designed our vehicles and are not products of random explosions. First, explosions are destructive, not creative. An explosion in a junkyard will not create a car but will create a mess of junk. Second, we know someone designed our vehicles because there is intelligence built into the car. Turn the key and the vehicle starts. Press a pedal and the vehicle goes. There is order, arrangement, and power found in a car that lets us know there is an intelligent creator, though we have never seen or met the creator.
In his speech to the Athenians, Paul declares the purpose of the visible creation. God created all of this so that we would seek after him, reach out for him, and find him. I think it is interesting that Paul said the exact opposite of what Mark Burnett said. Mr. Burnett says that God is the creation of mans own imagination and that God is in every person. Paul said that people are creation of Gods imagination and purpose. Further, Paul said that every person lives, moves, and exists in God. People are the work of God. God is not the work of people.
The whole creation exists so that we would know with certainty and confidence that there is a God. The world is God revealing himself to all people. This is the very reason why Paul said "men are without excuse" about knowing the existence of God. Every piece of creation clearly shows an unseen God. Since we can look around and know God exists and the purpose of creation was for all people to seek after God, how are we to know what God wants from us? Since we can know there is a God, it is important for us to find out what the one who created us wants from us. General revelation cannot tell us Gods will. We cannot look out into the stars and know what God wants. We cannot look within ourselves and know Gods will. God had to specifically reveal to people what he wants from us all. In the next article, we will consider how God has revealed his will to all people.

Wolf donated to DePasquale's congressional bid amid a key audit. Is that a problem?
Stephen Caruso
Auditor General Eugene DePasquale. (Gov. Tom Wolf/Flickr)
Auditor General Eugene DePasquale took political donations from Gov. Tom Wolf and allowed the Democratic governor to host an online fundraiser for his congressional campaign even as the state's elected fiscal watchdog worked on an audit of Wolf's response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Those donations went to DePasquale's challenge to Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Perry in central Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District, a race viewed as among the most competitive in the country.
It is unclear how much DePasquale's campaign netted from from the June 25 digital fundraiser. But Wolf and his wife, First Lady Frances Wolf, have already donated $11,200 to DePasquale's congressional run, the most they can under federal campaign finance laws. That includes $2,800 from each of them in fall 2019 for the primary, and another $2,800 each in June for the general election.
Politicians endorsing and donating their allies in and out of office is normal and legal, pointed out Suzanne Almeida, executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania, a good government group.
"However, in cases like this, there could certainly be a public appearance of impropriety," Almeida said in an email. "Pennsylvanians deserve to have confidence that the Auditor General is an independent, elected official who is able to do their job without undue influence from campaign contributions."
The contributions come as DePasquale, through his state office, is looking into a controversial action by Wolf to allow some businesses to reopen during the early months of the pandemic. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial board also raised concerns about the audit and Wolf's fundraising earlier this week.
Wolf has also long been a top Democratic fundraiser. He's used his own money and prodigious fundraising chops to finance his own election, and to support his fellow Democrats.
Wolf gave DePasquale $48,000 as a candidate for state House between 2006 and 2011, according to Department of State records.
DePasquale, of York County, left the House in 2012 after winning election as auditor general in 2012. In that position, he's tasked with digging up government malfeasance and financial mismanagement. He's now serving the constitutional maximum of two terms after winning reelection in 2016. He announced his congressional challenge against Perry last year.
But Republicans have seized on the June donation and fundraiser as a crack in DePasquale's image as a problem-solving legislator and a fearless watchdog who's criticized Republicans and Democrats.
In a statement, Perry's campaign said the donations and fundraiser showed DePasquale was "either brazenly corrupt or completely incompetent."
"There is no other excuse for inviting the subject of one of your most high-profile investigations to headline a $2,800 per person fundraiser for your campaign," Matt Beynon, Perry's campaign spokesperson, said.
On April 30, DePasquale announced he would look into Wolf's business waiver program. He did not provide a timeline for the audit's release, but said it would be a quick look.
DePasquale announces audit, Senate serves subpoena as pressure increases to open up Wolf's waiver
Wolf set up the program in March to allow individual businesses, forced to close in the early days of the pandemic, to reopen if they could prove they were "life-sustaining" and could keep workers and customers safe.
All told, the state allowed 6,000 businesses to reopen, out of about 42,000 applicants. Business leaders and Republicans called the program inconsistent and opaque because Wolf, at first, did not release a list of businesses that applied and were allowed to open.
In a news conference Wednesday, DePasquale said the audit could be split into multiple reports.
The first look, which would be out the week of Oct. 6, would focus on how the administration answered waiver inquiries by phone and by email, and if there was any political influence on the program.
"There's a part of me that wishes this could have been done a little quicker," DePasquale said. "But there was a lot of data to collect, and also during COVID, with, you know, people being all over the place, it's been a bit of a challenge."
But over the summer, as the audit continued, and campaign season heated up, Wolf headlined a June 25 digital fundraiser for DePasquale, according to a post on the Democratic fundraising website ActBlue. The suggested donations ranged from $25 to $2,800.
According to Federal Election Commission records, DePasquale's campaign reported about $25,400 in donations on June 25 and on June 26. DePasquale's campaign declined to comment on its fundraising haul. Wolf and his wife made their second round of donations to DePasquale a week before the fundraiser, on June 16.
DePasquale brushed aside concerns this week that the donations limited his ability to hold Wolf accountable.
"You can do your job and support someone politically at the same time," DePasquale said.
He added that he's conducted audits critical of Wolf in the past.
DePasquale pointed to reports on the state's delayed unemployment compensation system update, lax nursing home oversight, unanswered calls on a child abuse hotline and issues with voter roll maintenance that were all conducted during Wolf's tenure.
In a statement, DePasquale's campaign spokesman Kunal Atit, called the critiques "baseless" and "just the latest effort by desperate political opponents to smear Eugene as they find themselves on the verge of losing this seat."
While Wolf donated to DePasquale's congressional race and his past legislative races, the Capital-Star could not locate any donations to DePasquale's two campaigns for auditor general in 2012 and 2016.
But Wolf has donated to the state row office candidates serving around him. He's donated $51,000 to Attorney General Josh Shapiro and $30,000 to state Treasurer Joe Torsella since 2016, according to Department of State records.
Jeff Sheridan, a senior political adviser to Wolf, said the donations to DePasquale's race were just a small part of Wolf's $1.5 million worth of donations to elect Democrats across the commonwealth in 2020.
"Any implication from anyone that there's a conflict is plain stupid," Sheridan said in an email.

Research News @ Vanderbilt website showcases discovery
Feb 1, 2011, 2:46 PM
The latest news about discoveries by Vanderbilt researchers is now available on a new online news channel, Research News @ Vanderbilt.
"We have created this website to open the doors of our laboratories and lecture halls to a broad audience and share with them the excitement of discoveries being made every day at Vanderbilt," Beth Fortune, vice chancellor for public affairs, said.
"This website will help us further expand our mission of education beyond our campus and interest new audiences in science and research," Fortune continued. "[rquote]Notably, the site consolidates research stories from across the institution, showing the breadth and significance of research at Vanderbilt.[/rquote]"
The site features new research in categories including health and medicine, education and psychology, engineering and technology, law, business and politics, life, Earth and space, and society and culture.
Dynamic photography, video and illustrations help tell the stories of discovery. Users are encouraged to engage with the stories both by commenting on them and by sharing and discussing them on Facebook, Twitter and other digital platforms.
"Ideally this website can serve as a virtual meeting room for people to not only learn about their areas of interest, but also to share their views and engage with one another and with Vanderbilt," Fortune said.
Recent stories have included the discovery of new drugs in caves, Vanderbilt's role in a new, global Alzheimer's research consortium, the impact of a father's job on a child's propensity to bully, how social networks help breast cancer patients, and many more.
The site represents the next step for Vanderbilt's research communications, replacing the Exploration website and Lens magazine, both of which can still be searched online. In addition, the new site includes stories about research that are written for other publications across campus, a calendar of research events and a blog written by Vanderbilt science writers.
The site is managed by the Vanderbilt News Service and Vanderbilt University Medical Center News and Communications. It was designed and developed by University Web Communications. All units are within the Division of Public Affairs.
The site's URL is http://news.vanderbilt.edu/research.

Mendoza, Doris Rosetta Elizabeth (Dot) (1899–1986)
by Jane E. Hunt
Doris Rosetta Elizabeth (Dot) Mendoza (1899-1986), pianist, was born on 11 September 1899 in Perth, only child of Queensland-born Frederick Herbert Mendoza, commission agent, and his Victorian-born wife Phoebe, née Herman. Playing the piano at 4, Dot accompanied her father, a tenor, in concerts from the age of 7, began lessons with the Melbourne music teacher Edward Goll at 12, and won a Melbourne University Conservatorium scholarship at 17. She completed two years of the bachelor of music degree. Musically versatile, she was skilled at sight-reading, playing melodies by ear, and transposing on sight.
In 1919 Dot successfully auditioned as a rehearsal pianist for J. C. Williamson. She toured Australia and New Zealand with Anna Pavlova in 1926, and with Colonel Wassily de Basil's ballet companies between 1936 and 1940. In 1944 Melbourne radio-station 3XY employed her as staff pianist; she scripted and compered 'Dot Mendoza at Home' and, with Frank Thring, a children's show.
Dot had married Frederick John Morton, a musician, on 26 November 1921 at St George's Presbyterian Church, East St Kilda, Melbourne. When they separated six years later, she had one young child and was pregnant. At barely five feet (153 cm) tall, of slim build, with red curly hair, a husky voice and a tendency to use vivid lipstick, she attracted male attention. She divorced Morton in 1942 and married Francis Daniel Forde, also a musician, on 27 September 1943 at Wesley Methodist Church, Melbourne; the relationship did not last. Her lively sense of humour, fondness for pet names and passion for dogs were qualities that were apparent in her undated collection of short stories The Tail is Familiar!
After World War II Mendoza nurtured the Minerva Theatre in Sydney and made three recordings with Columbia Records. While engaged in a project to rejuvenate Tasmanian theatre in late 1950, she received treatment from a local surgeon for her debilitating and painful osteoarthritis. She had a permanent limp, despite having had as a child twenty operations on a flat hip socket. The doctor's efforts were unsuccessful and she struggled physically and financially. Her children persuaded her to visit them in London, where she received further treatment and did some work for the British Broadcasting Corporation.
On her return to Sydney in the mid-1950s Mendoza joined the Phillip Street Theatre: she composed music, wrote lyrics, performed and directed. Alice in Wonderland (1956), set to music by Dot, secured the theatre's future. Drawn into the world of satirical comedy, she was the musical director of the revue Is Australia Really Necessary? She also contributed to The Mavis Bramston Show as scriptwriter, composer and performer. More seriously, she wrote the score for The Vatican, a sound recording that included material from Vatican radio as well as dramatisation by Australian actors.
Mendoza coached actors in performance and voice production; among those she taught were Barry Humphries, June Salter, Gordon Chater, John Meillon and Jill Perryman. In 1985 she was awarded the OAM. Survived by her daughter June and son Peter, Dot died on 19 or 20 May 1986 in her home at Mount Waverley, Victoria, and was cremated.

I watched a video on a friend's Facebook yesterday it had a big impact. I went hunting for the original video and found it on the PBS Frontline website – A Class Divided. The site hosts the original documentary filmed in 1968, clips as well as commentary and follow up interviews.
I've always been fascinated by group dynamics/mentality and have a tendency to shy away from organized groups from anything right down to group motorcycle rides because of what often happens to people when they get together in organized groups. Egos come to the front, inhibitions that should be held back may be allowed free rein because in some cases those . We SHOULD have some inhibitions, and we SHOULD contain them in some cases.
When an individual gains a degree of control over a group of people, those participants can be directed to act and think in a manner that they may not normally. Groups can bring out the worst in individuals as easily as they can bring out the best. Bringing different-minded people together under the "right" influential individual can lead to frightening results. Bringing "like-minded" individuals together, or creating like-minded people, can be even more alarming in some cases.
Humans generally think they are forming a group for some "good", however twisted the logic may be. And to be fair, obviously many positive groups do exist for a valid purpose – education, safety, social awareness, a societal cause. But those that are designed to increase personal gain within a context, or to foster a sense of personal elitism within a sector, those ones are particularly bothering to me, due their self-absorption and potential for harm – physical, mental, or otherwise.
The power of a group has great capacity for both good and bad… and this is a brilliant demonstration of the how relatively simple suggestions can turn a group of rationally thinking individuals into an elitist class level pack capable of vicious cruelty.
Ironically, we also saw a comedy theatre performance last night – Avenue Q – that was a parody on Sesame Street, but a whole lot less PC. One of the scenes/songs focused on racism and implied "Everybody's a little bit racist…" If you think you don't have it in you to be a little bit racist, you might be surprised when you watch this documentary.
Watch an teacher turn her Grade Three class into a racially divided room filled with hatred and ridicule in an unbelievably short period of time.
The following day, Mrs. Elliott turns the tables and the oppressed students become the superior ones. Each student experiences the feelings associated with oppression.
Fourteen years later the class gets together for a reunion with Mrs. Elliott and they recall the experience. What is wonderful is the impact the exercise had on them and the fact that it resonates with all of them still.
If you think you are above something like this, if you think you are too intelligent to fall into such a trap, watch this video and realize that the effects of one person's suggestions and insinuations can be powerful enough to radically change the thoughts and actions of rational adults working in the Corrections field. This could just as easily be you or I, and it is arrogant to think otherwise. The challenge is recognizing the trap before you are mired in it.
In the final segment, Mrs. Elliott continues to antagonize the participants of the workshop and finally discusses with the adult crowd what they experienced and how they felt.
The documentary is a fascinating look at how a group leader can manage to convince a group of people that they are powerless and of a lower class. It is alarming that an individual can manage to empower people with a feeling that they are better than others because of something as simple as eye colour. The same principles can be applied to any situation – you are better because you are: straight or gay, white or black, an athlete or an artist, fat or thin, drive a car or ride a motorcycle, are self employed or work for others.
Mrs. Elliott is a powerful figure and one can only feel disgust at her methodology of belittling and degrading those on the perceived "lower class". But if she was being positive and cheerful and building up a segment of the population, no matter how large or small, I think the result might be the same, just more subtle since instead of creating immediate hostility she could have created an air of superiority based on one simple and highly insignificant trait. "I am better be cause I ______________" Fill in the blank with whatever you like.
Although this series focuses on racism and oppression it is a good metaphor for seemingly benign things in our society.
The other day at work a woman stopped by my desk and we were chatting about various things. She saw my motorcycle helmet on a shelf and said something along the lines of "You have your ponytail hanging out so the world can see that you are a woman on that bike, right?" I said no, definitely not and she expressed that I should so that the world could see that I was representing the female team! I brushed it off gently by saying that I prefer to keep my hair in good condition rather than try to get all the knots out after it's been blowing in the wind, and that I am actually planning on cutting it short this summer.
What I was really thinking was "Why should it make me something special because I am a woman on a bike?" I would never think I am somehow special or better because I do. I ride the bike because it moves me through traffic easier, because I can park it easier, because it costs less to run, because it has less of an impact than a car, and most importantly, I ride the bike and the scooter because I enjoy them. They are fun on top of all of those other benefits. I don't ride the bike because I am trying to be "a part of something" or because I want to be distninctive.
Instead of focusing on what makes us unique, different, or "special", which only serves to set a group apart, I think we need to spend more energy on recognizing how similar we all are. How we all share basic needs – a home, nourishment, engagement, love. We are all the same at a fundamental level and constantly fostering differences and the egotism associated with unique traits or activities only leads to further divisiveness and segregation. You are not better because you _______ (fill in the blank with whatever you like).
But that's just my opinion. And I'd be interested in yours.

Here, we will solve the minimum cost path problem in C. The implication is done on a 2D-matrix where each cell has a cost to travel. We have to find a path from the left top corner to the bottom right corner with minimum travel cost. You can only traverse down and right lower cells from a given cell.
To solve this particular problem dynamic programming is much better to approach than recursion.
Given cost matrix cost[ ][ ] and a position (m,n), we have to write a function that returns cost of minimum path to reach (m,n) from (0,0).The total cost of a path to reach (m, n) is the sum of all the costs on that path (including both source and destination).
Assumption − All costs are positive. Negative cost cycles do not exist in the input matrix
Find the minimum cost path to (2,2)
The costs are given within the image itself. The path will be (0, 0) ⇒ (0, 1) ⇒ (1, 2) ⇒ (2, 2). The value of the path is eight (1 +2+2+ 3).
Approach − Create an answer matrix of a similar size as the given matrix.
Fill this matrix in a bottom-up manner.
Given − arrA[ ][ ]. At each cell, we've got 2 options(go right or down) and that we can select the minimum of those 2, for any i,j cell.
solution[i][j]=A[0][j] if i=0, 1st row
=A[i][0] if j=0, 1st column
=A[i][j]+Min(solution[i=1],[j],solution[i][j-1]) if i>0 && j>0
The approach followed in the algorithmic answers can be used to efficiently solve this problem by applying dynamic programming. Create a minimum cost path table of size m,n and define−
minimumCostPath[i][j] = minimum value to achieve (i, j) from (0, 0)
Clearly,
minimumCostPath[0][0] = costMatrix[0][0]
minimumCostPath[i][0] = minimumCostPath[i - 1][0] + costMatrix[i][0], for all values of i > zero
minimumCostPath[0][j] = minimumCostPath[0][j - 1] + costMatrix[0][j], for all values of j >zero
Next, we will fill the minimum cost path matrix by applying a similar formula that we applied in the algorithm. Since all the previous values will already have been calculated within the minimum cost path matrix, we will not recalculate these as we did in the algorithmic answer.
minimumCostPath[i][j] = costMatrix[i][j] +minimum(minimumCostPath[i - 1][j - 1],minimumCostPath[i - 1][j],minimumCostPath[i][j - 1])
Here, for calculating minimumCostPath[i][j] we tend to use minimumCostPath[i - 1][j - 1], minimumCostPath[i - 1][j] and minimumCostPath[i][j - 1] as a result, these are the sole permissible cells from which we will reach minimumCostPath[i][j].Finally, we return minimumCostPath[m][n].
The time complexity of the dynamic programming algorithm is O(mn).
int min_(int a, int b, int c){
if (a < b)
return (a < c) ? a : c;
return (b < c) ? b : c;
int min_cost(int cost[4][4], int m, int n){
int tot_cost[4][4];
tot_cost[0][0] = cost[0][0];
for (i = 1; i <= m; i++)
tot_cost[i][0] = tot_cost[i - 1][0] + cost[i][0];
for (j = 1; j <= n; j++)
tot_cost[0][j] = tot_cost[0][j - 1] + cost[0][j];
tot_cost[i][j] = min_(tot_cost[i - 1][j - 1], tot_cost[i - 1][j], tot_cost[i][j - 1]) + cost[i][j];
return tot_cost[m][n];
int cost[4][4] = {
{ 9, 9, 4 },
{1, 2, 8}
cout<<" The minimum cost is "<<min_cost(cost, 2, 2);
The minimum cost is 17
