This is a special 6-week editorial series called "LifeEDU" sponsored by Coca-Cola's #FortheDream program, where we arm parents with tips & recommendations on how to take advantage of the summer period to positively influence the transition between high school to college…and beyond.
Yes, a college education is very expensive – even for public institutions – but the reality is that there's free money available many parents and teens fail to tap into. In most cases parents don't know these options exist, or may not have the time to research the many different options.
Free money means that you don't have to pay back loans, and often comes in various forms from scholarships, work & study programs, fellowships or grants.
We have cut down the job for you by doing the web research to find all the ways – some known and some that get a little creative – that you can afford to send your teen to chase the college dream.
Coca-Cola's #ForTheDream program inspires and empowers Hispanic teens and families to prepare, plan and pay for college education. The program will award one college tour experience and thirty-four $500 grants via the #ForTheDreamSweeps sweepstakes to help cover education expenses. To enter the sweepstakes participants can post a selfie with someone who is helping them achieve their college dreams on Twitter or Instagram, and tag it using the hashtag #ForTheDreamSweeps. A My Coke Rewards product code can also be submitted as an entry on the website: http://Coke.com/ForTheDream.
1. NCAA Scholarships: provide more than $2.7 billion in athletics scholarships annually to more than 150,000 student-athletes.
2. Bizarre Scholarships: You will be amazed at these opportunities for free money. Have a specific surname, are you tall or short? Yep, there could be a scholarship for you. See a list of 25 HERE.
3. Search for many other scholarships in these free online tools: go.salliemae.com/scholarship/ , Scholarships.com and FederalStudentAid.
9. Mentorship for Environmental Scholars Program: rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are underrepresented in STEM and other related disciplines.
11. Federal Pell Grant: open to undergraduate students depending on financial need, the cost of school of choice, and other variables.
19. Private investor/private sponsor: This is a common practice in Europe, but not so much in the USA, where students mainly look for "scholarships," but visit Lumni.net, does operates in the USA and Enzi, launched a pilot program in Stanford in 2010.
20. Organizations and professional organizations: groups like the Association of Information Technology Professionals offer student member scholarships, while the Public Relations Student Society of America offers more than a dozen scholarship competitions for undergraduate and graduate students on the field.
21. Tuition-Free Colleges: Yes, they do exist (some in the USA) for those who qualify, like Barclay College and Moody Bible in Chicago (both Christian institutions).
22. Study Abroud: There are countries outside of the USA, like Norway, that offer free or partially-free college tuition (even for foreigners!). You can find a list HERE.
24. GiveCollege: a comprehensive platform helping families afford college through education, tracking, and individual and community fundraising opportunities.
25. GoFundMe: ask your friends, family and the community to help with the cause. The site charges you 5% of the total funds raised.
26. Employers: Companies like Coca-Cola and others all offer Tuition Reimbursement Programs for active students, depending on the chosen degree.
27. Serve Your Country: The Air Force, U.S. Cost Guard, Air Force, Merchant Marine, Military, and Naval Academies: Offer free college tuition after serving. Also, the GI Bill provides educational assistance to service members, veterans, and their dependents.
28. Universities: Even if you don't get the full tuition, you can get partial by working on-campus.
29. Parent as a Teacher: Some colleges offer free or partial tuition for children of current teachers.
Our top advise? Before you – or your teen – accepts that student loan, make sure you have exhausted all possibilities to find FREE money. Do you know about other opportunities for free money that we missed? Please share in the comments below.

As authorities readied for another day of searching for Christopher Dorner, rumors continued to fly over where the fugitive ex-police officer might be.
Communities across the country with ties to former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner -- suspected of killing three people and injuring two -- were on alert Friday as the search continued for the fugitive.
By KATE STANTON, UPI.com Rex Reed, the New York Observer's film critic, is under fire for harsh comments he made about actress Melissa McCarthy.


The sun is slowly peeking through the trees, the birds are chirping as you wake up from deep sleep. All those months of exercise in preparation for the big day will be publicly put to test today. You now wonder whether making a bet on beating Johnny on the race was a smart move then you quickly dismiss all the thoughts going through your mind and gear up for the big day.
After having your power breakfast, you head out to the starting point, where you meet with colleagues and a couple of old friends. You hear the announcer urging you to get ready as the marathon will start on his cue. This is your last chance to get out of that bet but you choose not to. The gun goes off and your feet start gaining momentum, one after the other.
As you pass the 5Km mark, it finally dawns on you, you're actually doing this, taking part in one of the world's greatest marathons of all time. The clear blue skies give you a sense of calmness, you are surrounded by beauty that is unexplainable, the kind of beauty that requires you to be there physically to fully experience it. During your ran, you sight elephant herds, buffalos, giraffes, ostriches, zebras and many other animals who call the sweet Savannah plains of Lewa Conservancy home.
Although you are exhausted and barely catching your breathe, you make it to the finish line, you can faintly hear the spectators cheering you on. You stretch your muscles slowly and walk by to the nearby tents for a quick massage. You have just enough time to freshen up and join all the participants for the award ceremony.
It is here you get a deeper understanding of how the wildlife, conservancy and the surrounding community members have greatly benefitted from the funds through the Safaricom Marathon and various sponsors. You pull out your phone to quickly type down the stats so that you can upload them later on Instagram and tag all your friends plus @SafaricomLtd and the various sponsors as well.
After the ceremony, you head back to the camp site to relax and reflect on the day that was. You are grateful to be part of such a good cause. Dinner is served and Johnny tells you about an awesome bonfire that is going down later on. Everyone wants to party in the wild and as you walk to the nearby bonfire, Johnny constantly reminds you that you lost the bet and you owe him big. You might have lost the bet, but you know the Safaricom Marathon experience will stick with you forever and that's one thing ticked off your bucket list.


After teaching a recent business planning workshop, I noticed something different about the business plan drafts written by these entrepreneurs—other than the fact that most of them were already in business. One group of people wrote plans that were almost entirely about doing business in the future. While the minority of the group, this future oriented group of planners were mainly involved in startup businesses. A second group within the workshop wrote extensively about their business, activities, recent history, and plans for the present, with little to no planning into the future. This group consisted mostly of existing business owner's plans. It's rare as an author and instructor that I see such extremes in time orientation in one workshop. Why do some people stick so close to the present while others want to skip the present and go right to the future? Some business planners live in the future. They think of business planning as a vision of what is yet to come. These folks try to predict what their business will look like in 5 years, and describe it in vivid detail. The dreamers are comfortable here. What a comfortable place it is, to ignore that past and the present and simply create the business life that you want in the future. But the problems with planning in the future alone are obvious, right? Imagine trying to read a map knowing where you want to end up, but not understanding where you are. If you are as geographically challenged as I am, then you have literally experienced not knowing where you are while traveling away from home. I have literally missed planes while traveling because I took a wrong turn and lost track of where I was. Even more fun is thinking you are on the west side of a major city looking at a hotel map when you are actually on the east side. That makes for some interesting conversations with yourself. I can't imagine ignoring where I am or my present situation in business while writing a business plan. You have to make a living today. You have finite resources committed to your business. You only have a specific amount of capital that you are able or willing to risk. You only have so many hours per week that you can commit to the new business initiatives described in your business plan. Accounting for specific resources such as money, your time, and other people's time helps us to get our head out of the clouds, think more realistically, and place our feet on the ground. How much of a business plan should be written geared toward present versus future business activities? Finding the right balance between planning for the present situation, and for the future that you want to create, is essential for successful business planning. If it helps, think of business plan time frames in three stages: the present, the short term, and the long term time horizons. Short term planning is generally defined as plans within one year of today. Long term planning is generally defined as plans more than one year away. To get from where you are now to where you want to be in the future, you must include present, short term, and long term time horizons. One tool that helps us manage the present with the future is tying action plans with business milestones as describe in the book The One-Hour Business Plan. A business milestone is a significant business event at least 90 days in the future. For example, imagine the milestone that states, "Our company will increase revenue by $100,000 by the end of the first quarter of next year." Technically this is a quality milestone. It is a significant business event associated with growing sales with a measurable time period. Anecdotally, it would help if the person(s) responsible were included. Now let's take the same milestone and add an action plan to it. An action plan is a sequence of steps designed to achieve a broader business goal.
You get the idea. The actions items keep detailing the steps that will be taken to achieve the broader business milestone. These action steps force us to work in the present and incrementally step into the future to achieve our goals. They're how we move from the present to the future we're creating. What milestones and action plans can you think of to achieve your business goals next year?

The ASH L.O.C DOMINATION
Posted by alvin jackson on March 15, 2018 at 10:35pm
ASH L.O.C has been described by some as the future of hip-hop. Therefore, it is not surprising that her talent has attracted the attention of heavyweights in the entertainment industry. ASH L.O.C is currently being managed by two respected entertainment giants – HOT NOIZE ENTERTAINMENT MAGAZINE and JESSE'S WAY MANAGEMENT. She has also made history, becoming the first female rap artist to be managed by HOT NOIZE, an entertainment, streaming and management company.
The entertainment industry, especially the music sector has been perceived by many as a male business. This is not surprising considering the male dominance of the music industry. It is even more difficult for females to break into the mainstream of rap music, with most legends in the sector being male. While the intense competition in the rap game especially among male acts cannot be overemphasized, some female rap artists have made name for themselves in the industry. One such act is ASH L.O.C.
Recently managed by Jesse's Way Management and HOT NOIZE, ASH L.O.C is scheduled to launch a massive project spring of 2018. This is to show her versatility and talent to the world, with even more works in the pipeline, especially as she is presently under the management of Jesse's Way Management and HOT NOIZE.
Many have described ASH L.O.C as the missing piece to the puzzle that is coming to fulfill the void for the seemingly extinct female Rapper. ASH L.O.C perfectly combines the girl next door appeal with aggressive lyrics and animated personality, breathing a fresh air into the music industry.
The talented MC from Joliet, a small town 30 minutes outside of Chicago has a tenacious style and lyrics, with influences from southern heritage. Described as a musical chameleon, ASH L.O.C has been able to adopt different styles of music to treat her diverse audience to the best of rap music.
ASH L.O.C has performed at different venues, also winning a major competitive event at the Dusable Museum in the summer of 2007, where she was chosen as the best among a group of male competitors. Some of her popular works includes songs named: A Minute, In Love With Me and Rooftop.
Signing ASH L.O.C is part of the managing mission of taking the music industry to a whole new level with the promotion of talented acts that would have otherwise not gotten the deserved exposure and audience. HOT NOIZE already has other music talents under their management and ASH L.O.C joining the family signals the company's passion and dedication for unbiased promotion of good music.
About HOT NOIZE
HOT NOIZE is an entertainment company poised with promoting talented acts. The company has worked with several artists and giants in the entertainment industry to ensure good music and overall entertainment is made available to the public.

We are excited to announce that the 9th Annual ACHCPS Conference will be held in The Bahamas at the British Colonial Hilton, Nassau Bahamas.
It will take place between July 6th and 9th.
Members states are invited to attend. To find out more information continue to follow this page.
Save the date and see you at the Conference!


The US has already sharply hiked H-1B and L-1 visa costs in January 2016 — from $2,000, to $6,000 for H-1B and $4,500 for L-1 visas — for firms that employed 50 or more workers in US, with more than 50% of them employed on H-1B or L-1 visas.
1. The bill seeks to remove the Master's degree exemption for H-1B applicants, which allows them to skip additional paperwork if they have an equivalent of a Master's or higher degree. A majority of Indian IT professionals who go to US generally have a Master's degree, which gives them an edge over applicants of other countries.
2. The bill attempts to bar companies that have over 50 employees and 50% of them on H-1B or L1 visas (temporary transfer of foreign workers to US), from hiring more.
3. The bill proposes to raise the minimum salary of H-1B visa to $100,000 per annum (currently it is $60,000 per annum). The hike in minimum salary of an H-1B visa worker to $100,000 per annum would make hiring Indian IT professionals less attractive and may push companies to go for US workers.
The bill says you can bring in foreign workers as long as you pay them well. So Indians who get a job in the US should get a decent package. The new measures, if passed, could force more people to try visas under other routes such as L1. The L1 visa is not subject to numerical or salary restrictions, but the bill proposes setting wage requirements for it too.
The Indian IT industry believes the US does not have enough IT talent and needs to bring in workers from India on the work permit. Moreover, it's not a one-way traffic. Indian IT companies also create jobs in US and contribute to the US economy.
1. Indian IT contributes about 4 lakh direct and indirect jobs in the US, accounting for about $5 billion in yearly taxes.
2. Indians with H-1B & L-1 visas contribute $1 billion annually to the US.

Letters to the Editor for Friday, June 7 | The Daily Gazette
Letters to the Editor for Friday, June 7
Character should matter in a president
The people of the United States, by popular vote, elected their choice for president. Enter the Electoral College. Due to redistricting to suit the leaders of one party in this election, the popular vote went down the tubes.
We elected a man who was only interested in being a dictator, abandoning and confusing many of our allies, and much preferring dictators, people who only want to be "hangers on" to the man they believe will be able to rule the world.
He will do this, of course, with his charming personality, kindness to the wealthy and ignoring what he considers the lower "working class." I was a child during World War II, but I still remember my parents and, by extension, me, always feeling confident after listening to President Franklin Roosevelt speak. Now, 75-plus years later, when the leader of this country tweets, twitters and brags, I feel only discouraged. Party shouldn't matter—character should!
Pat Bruschetti
Plenty of reasons to re-elect Madigan
After reading the candidates' submitted rationales for why they should be endorsed and spending several hours reviewing and debating, the Saratoga Springs Democratic Committee voted to endorse current Finance Commissioner Michele Madigan for re-election as the more qualified candidate.
While different members had different rationale for selecting Madigan, my rationale included: Madigan has seven years experience running the city's finances; our taxes haven't been raised for seven years; our bond ratings by Moody's and Standard & Poor's are high and have increased during her tenure in office; Madigan has successfully pushed for expanded trails, balanced growth and increased sustainability; and she's worked closely with our other Democratic office holders: Mayor Kelly and Commissioners Franck and Martin.
Her good work continues with her recent announcement that the city's reserves increased by another $1,200,000.
Unfortunately, after losing the committee vote, Patty Morrison decided to run as an unendorsed candidate for our city's very important and difficult finance job, for which she was found to be the less-qualified individual.
I hope you'll join me and the Democratic Committee and vote for Commissioner Michele Madigan in the Democratic primary on June 25.

Nisky board justified in extending contract
Thank you, Niskayuna school board, for voting to extend Superintendent Tangorra's contract. This crucial first step will establish stability in a tumultuous time in our district, a turbulence shamefully stoked by The Gazette. The May 30 editorial ("Nisky board flunks sup't extension") and subsequent cartoon mark new lows in a persistent bias against Niskayuna schools.
To The Gazette's first point: Notification of the contract was done exactly as it has always been. The public knew about the contract vote. The meeting was well attended, and many people spoke, nothing sneaky. To the second point: Yes, we elected two new board members, but the only candidate for school board critical of the superintendent was defeated. Even if the new members opposed the contract, the vote would be 5-2, a moot point. The current board negotiated the contract over the last several months; it makes sense that they would then vote on it. To the last ridiculous point: Extend for just a year or two? Really? We are facing a capital project with the possibility of school reconfigurations, and The Gazette thinks we need a temp at the helm?
The problems between the bargaining units and administration are being addressed. The board didn't "flunk" the contract vote.
The Gazette has failed its readership. Perhaps the editorial staff would benefit from a Niskayuna education that teaches its students to think critically and consider a diversity of thought. Reprehensibly, The Gazette focuses only on the viewpoints of malcontents and a disgruntled minority of union members.

How would you feel if kids got measles?
With no sense of irony and I suppose substantial amount of snark (or lack of awareness), Karen Cookson asks in her June 2 op-ed if there is a correlation between vaccines and developmental issues. She then writes, "Just asking."
Ms. Cookson, how would you feel if your children were among those in the areas of New York state where measles were again a concern, after have been wiped out in 2000? Just asking.
Michael Fondacaro
Change the way public schools are financed
I wonder when the taxpayers of the state are going to wake up to the fact that they are being ripped off every year by these oppressive school taxes. Do they realize that their school taxes amount to 66.5 percent of their total property tax?
I think that many people have given up voting on school budgets because they feel they have little control over anything.
We were told years ago that proceeds from the state lottery would be used for education.
The state has been promoting gambling of all types ever since, with no lowering effect on any of our taxes. School boards throughout the state have an obligation to the taxpayers to petition the state to change its way of allocating state aid.
We must tell our lawmakers that enough is enough, and they need to do something about it. There needs to be change in the way that public schools are financed to give substantial relief to the property owners of this state.

Thanks for including the flag in newspaper
I was very impressed with the addition to the paper on Memorial Day. I refer to the picture of our flag. Someone had the common sense to put the advertisements on the back.
I did read those, but our flag needs to stand alone. And that picture of our flag is now on the door of my home. A great idea.

Democrats need new mantra on Trump
Democrats need a new mantra.
The "Trump derangement syndrome" has sent them and their fake media over the top with stupid accusations. Congressman Paul Tonko has joined the chorus. I like the one sentence Western summary of the Mueller report and Congress now circulating on the Internet: "While we recognize that the subject did not actually steal any horses, he is obviously guilty of trying to resist being hanged for it."

Late-night TV should seek other targets
It's interesting that the shows out of New York City, such as The Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live, make a living night after night, week after week, out of roasting Donald Trump. Don't they realize that Americans love an underdog?
It'd be refreshing to see what they can do with some other jokers in Washington and Albany for a change. I'd stay up to watch Cuomo and Pelosi being raked over the coals.

Transplant equity work never ends: Jerry McCauley, M.D.
Sep 24, 2021 | Voices in Transplant
Jerry McCauley, M.D., UNOS president-elect and former Minority Affairs Committee chair shares the progress in transplant equity and the hurdles still to overcome.
For UNOS and the organ donation and transplant community, efforts to increase donation and ensure transplant equity are steadfast priorities.
As both a nephrologist and member of the UNOS board, I am proud of the work we have done to ensure that when a patient, regardless of race or ethnicity, makes it to the waitlist, they receive equitable access to the lifesaving care they need.
But while the list is equitable, how our healthcare system adds patients to it may not be.
Before being added to the waitlist, issues like lack of insurance, support networks, transportation, and other social determinants have a dramatic impact on whether or not a patient is added to the waitlist.
Learn how UNOS researchers track and monitor equity in access to transplant.
With a long history of practices that often harmed Black and Brown bodies, the medical community continues to fight an uphill battle against distrust, the weight of history, and the uncomfortable truth of systemic racism.
While these are problems that must be addressed at both a societal and legislative level, UNOS works with members of the donation and transplantation community to achieve a central part of our mission: continuously improve access and equity for those on the national waiting list.
The patients and professionals who serve on the Minority Affairs Committee have been working on these issues for decades by revisiting policies, reviewing outcomes and addressing issues affecting marginalized and vulnerable communities within the donation and transplant sphere.
A series of policy changes transformed kidney allocation in 2014 during my time on the Minority Affairs Committee, changes that increased equitable access to lifesaving transplants. We began including the time a kidney transplant candidate spent on dialysis as part of their overall time on the waitlist. This shortened the wait time to receive a kidney, especially for Black patients who had disproportionately spent years on dialysis. We also began giving increasing points to patients with all levels of high antibody counts instead of only those with 80% or greater. This gave greater access for patients with lower levels of sensitization who were disproportionately Black. These and other changes continue to benefit all patients.
UNOS' work continues in this area for patients on the waitlist. Currently, a diverse workgroup of clinicians and patients are studying a widely used, race-based measure of kidney function that disadvantages Black patients, in an effort to increase equity for Black kidney candidates on the transplant list. A request for feedback is open for public comment, and the committee is requesting patient input in the policy development process.
Transplant equity is ingrained in UNOS' very DNA. We are committed to following the science, bolstering equity and increasing access to the gift of life a donated organ can provide.
McCauley is Medical Director of Transplantation Services and Chief of Nephrology at Jefferson Health-Jefferson University Hospitals. He has served on numerous committees, including the Minority Affairs Committee, the Membership and Professional Standards Committee, the Policy Oversight Committee and the Executive Committee. Currently vice-president and president-elect the Board of Directors, he will begin his term as president in July 2022.

I am a proud marketing research geek and working mom of three. I play in Excel and PowerPoint all day every day. It is amazingly nerdy and I love it! My job is also to be the person that helps clients figure out what they need to know to improve their businesses and then figure out how to do that. This part of the job is energizing, terrifying, and exciting, many times at the same time.
This blog has really become my forum for ranting, thinking and being creative. As a mom, I've constantly struggled to find the balance that makes sense between what my family needs, what my job needs, and what I need. The question of what "I" want has gotten lost and deprioritized, most often by me. That's a problem that only I can fix, and I honestly have no idea how to do it half the time.
I have always dreamed of being a writer, but I'm not very good at it. I have also always been an avid reader. In the last few years, I have found so much comfort reading mommy blogger posts. It helps me know that I'm not alone. My hope, terrible writing aside, is that one or two things that I share will help someone else on a rough day. As I share my struggles juggling between playdates and presentations, maybe one of you will know that you aren't alone.
I just found your blog. I really enjoyed your posts so far and I look forward to continued reading. You are not alone.
Thanks so much! Really enjoy writing.

La Liga: Real Madrid wins in Zidane's return, Atletico stunned
By Kyle BonnMar 16, 2019, 5:40 PM EDT
Zinedine Zidane returned to Real Madrid, and it was like he never left.
The Frenchman made sweeping changes in his first starting lineup, bringing Keylor Navas, Gareth Bale, Isco, and Marcelo all back into the 11 as Madrid stormed to a 2-0 win over Celta Vigo at the Bernabeu.
All four players had seen diminished playing time under Santiago Solari, blamed by fans and media for the team struggles, but Zidane gave them a reprieve, and it bore immediate fruit. Isco scored the opener in the 62nd minute to put Madrid up for good, and Bale put the game away 15 minutes later. The defense, meanwhile, held Celta Vigo to just one shot on target as they fall for the fifth time in their last six matches.
The win pulled third-placed Madrid within two points of cross-town rivals Atletico Madrid in second, an important result that preceded a shocking 2-0 loss by Atletico as they fell on the road at Athletic Bilbao. The game was scoreless – right in Atletico's wheelhouse – until the 73rd minute when an awkward Atleti turnover in their own defensive third led to an Inaki Williams tap-in to break the deadlock. Kenan Kodro finished it off in the 85th minute and Atleti is now looking over its shoulder at Real Madrid just two back.
Meanwhile, a few places back, Alaves pulled within one point of a Champions League place as they topped Huesca 3-1 behind a brace from Jonathan Calleri. His opener in the 11th minute was cancelled out minutes later by Ezequiel Avila to make it 1-1, and the scoreline stayed there until the 80th minute. Substitute striker John Guidetti put Alaves up with 10 to go, and then Calleri bagged his brace six minutes later to put the game away.
Finally, Girona jumped Leganes in the table with a 2-0 win thanks to a double by Portu, continuing the club's rise up the table. They had fallen as far as 16th, but a five-game stretch with three wins and a draw has brought them back up to 13th and within two points of a top-half spot.

Directionally Sensitive Magnetoresistance
January 13, 2020 • Physics 13, s6
A new experiment shows that the semiconductor germanium exhibits unidirectional magnetoresistance, which had previously only been seen in more exotic materials.
T. Guillet/Univ. Grenoble Alpes; CEA; SPINTEC
Magnetoresistance—a resistance induced by a magnetic field—is often associated with magnetic materials. Recent studies have identified a new effect called unidirectional magnetoresistance (UMR), which appears in nonmagnetic materials. The effect is characterized by an increase or decrease in the resistance, depending on the direction in which the current flows. A new experiment has discovered UMR in a surprising place—within the common semiconductor germanium. What's more, the size of the effect is 100 times larger than in previous cases. The researchers propose a new theory of UMR to explain their results.
UMR was first seen in 2017 in a topological insulator, and a detection of the effect in a two-dimensional electron gas quickly followed. As these systems are not intrinsically magnetic, researchers have inferred that UMR is the result of spin-momentum locking, which is the lining up of electron spins in a direction perpendicular to their momentum. Because of this spin-current connection, UMR could be useful in spintronic devices.
To measure UMR in germanium, Thomas Guillet from Grenoble Alpes University in France and his colleagues grew a layer of germanium along its (111) crystal orientation on a silicon substrate. They ran a current through the layer, while applying an external magnetic field. The measured resistance depended on the current and the field, with the strongest UMR effect occurring when the current was perpendicular to the magnetic field. As an example, a current of 10 𝜇A and a field of 1 T produced a 0.5% change in the resistance, compared to a 0.002% change in previously observed UMR materials. To explain this relatively large response, the team proposes that the Rashba effect—a well-known splitting in the bands associated with up and down spins—generates spin-momentum locking in the subsurface states of germanium.
This research is published in Physical Review Letters.

Control (2004)
Ray Liotta (Something Wild, No Escape, Hannibal) portrays a violent murderer who is put to death by lethal injection. But when he wakes up some hours later, not dead, it's explained to him that he has the option of living and being a test subject for a new behavior modifying drug. This drug, explains Willem Dafoe, will diminish his ultra-violent tendencies and make him feel compassion and remorse. It's sort of a take on FLOWER'S FOR ALGERNON, only with a serial killer rather than a retarded guy. This whole beginning is also far too much like the first DESTROYER novel (which was made into a film as REMO WILLIAMS: THE ADVENTURE BEGINS).The first hour of the movie is engaging, during which time he's able to assume a reasonably 'normal' life and even starts dating a woman (Michelle Rodriguez of RESIDENT EVIL, SWAT). Yet it inevitably turns into your typical Hollywood movie with a predictable end and a supposed 'life lesson'.

Legault wants a long-term strategy on floods
Alan Carter | May 1, 2019 | Politic | No Comments
The Caquist government wants to give itself a "long-term strategy" on floods.
Upon his return to the House on Tuesday after the floods that struck several regions of Quebec, Prime Minister François Legault said he wanted to bring together his ministers concerned and the Secretary General of the government to plan for the future. However, he brushed aside Quebec Solidaire's (QS) proposal to hold an emergency debate on the floods.
"We will do a post-mortem in the coming months," said Legault in response to a question from the leader of the opposition, Pierre Arcand, who demanded "a broader reflection" to protect himself after this second flood span in two years.
"We will try to be ready for spring 2020," said Legault. According to him, "questions must be asked" about the definition of flood zones, and he intends to update the mapping of these zones.
His government will carry out an analysis with the municipalities, with the RCMs, and in particular the ministries of Public Security and Transport.
However, this is not the time to debate in Parliament, he replied to QS. "It's not the time to set up forums and committees, it's time to act. (…) I do not think (QS co-spokesperson) Manon Massé and other politicians are helpful. "
All parties agreed to a motion in support of the victims. In his speech, Pierre Arcand argued that "all parliamentarians agree that 2019 must be the breaking point between the past and what must be done in the future."
Manon Massé said that "we are pretty good in Quebec to manage crises, when they arrive, but we are a little less good to prevent them before they arrive."
PQ leader Pascal Bérubé called on the government to provide psychosocial support to those affected not only in the near future but "in the months or even years to come".
In the morning, the Minister of Public Security, Geneviève Guilbault, said that the authorities finally seem to see "the light at the end of the tunnel" in most areas affected by floods.
"The worst is behind us," the minister told a press conference at her office, noting that river levels are down, except for the Ottawa River.
"Courage, we're going in the right direction," added Mr. Legault.
Still, there were still 10,139 evacuees, including 6,000 in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, 6681 flooded residences and 3348 isolated residences. Monday, the balance was substantially the same, there is only the number of isolated residences that is down significantly, compared to 3458 the day before.
The Prime Minister did not want to blame anyone after Saturday's breakup at Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, which forced the rapid evacuation of 6000 people.
The state of the work had been known since 2009 and work was planned for next fall, but "nobody thought it was as urgent," said Legault.
"We will do a post-mortem and ask questions about dikes in general Quebec," he said, adding that in small municipalities, "there are no people who are competent to make the right decisions "and help programs need to be put in place.

Q: How to encrypt large data with AES Background: I am trying to encrypt/decrypt 128 byte of data [using AES128] in an Arduino Uno. When I try to encrypt 128 bytes of data, only 128 bits of it get encrypted. So, in the serial monitor it is showing 16 bytes of encrypted data + 112 bytes of plaintext data.
Question: How can I encrypt the whole data? I am new to programming and I probably need to divide the data into small sizes but I am not sure how to do that.
Please be informed that for encryption and decryption purpose I am using AES code using this source.
Simplified code:
#include //include headerfile and library for AES

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop(){
  uint8_t key[] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15};
  char data[] = "ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF12345    67890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890";//128 byte
  aes128_enc_single(key, data);
  Serial.println(data);
  aes128_dec_single(key, data);
  Serial.println(data);
  delay(15000);
}

A: That library uses 128 bit keys and 128 bit block size.
The function ase128_enc_single(), encrypts a single block, which is 16 characters.  This is just as documented in the library:
// encrypt single 128bit block. data is assumed to be 16 uint8_t's
// key is assumed to be 128bit thus 16 uint8_t's
void aes128_enc_single(const uint8_t* key, void* data);

The simple way to complete the long string is to do in 8 chunks:
for(size_t ix = 0; ix < 128; ix += 16) {
  aes128_enc_single(key, data+ix);
}

The more common method is block chaining:
unsigned long sendcount = 0;
uint8_t iv[] = {0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0};

aes128_cbc_enc(key, iv, data, 128);

The initialization vector, iv, should be random and never repeat to the extent possible.  Use a simple counter to keep from repeating.  To add random bits, use the current time, an unused analog pin input, and or the not so random rand().  Pack all those into the iv:
unsigned long t = micros();
int a = analogRead(pinConnectedToNothing);
long r = random(0x8fff);
sendcount += 1;
memcpy(iv, &sendcount, 4);
memcpy(iv+6, &t, 4);
memcpy(iv+10, a, 2);
memcpy(iv+12, r, 4);

You have to exchange the iv with the receiver so that the encoded text can be decoded.

Park City • In the beginning was the word, written down in droves of books, magazines and fact sheets for anyone aspiring to riches to read.
Then along came Carl Richards.
You may know the Park City financial planner if you're a fan of Bucks, The New York Times blog that helps readers puzzle out the mysteries of personal finance and make the most from their money.
Richards' sketch-filled blog posts appear each Monday in the Times' online business section and often in the Best of Bucks feature that runs in the newspaper on Saturdays. The posts draw large numbers of comments and are consistently picked up by the section's home page, the most valuable piece of real estate with the biggest viewership.
"He is one of the strongest thinkers on how people handle money that I have ever run across," said Ron Lieber, who edits the Bucks blog (http://bucks.blogs.nytimes.com) and writes the newspaper's Your Money column.
With each blog, the 38-year-old Richards sets his hand to some matter that fits under the umbrella of money management. What sets him apart, though, from a Suze Orman or a Dave Ramsey is the tack he takes. Instead of offering narrow, prescriptive recommendations for some action, Richards strives to change the way people think about finances.
His method is two-fold. Each post is 400 opinionated words about a financial concept, accentuated with a simple but sophisticated drawing that helps people form a mental image of his message. The blog is a pulpit from which he has garnered priceless publicity for his ideas.
"One of the hardest things to do when you are attempting to put financial concepts into plain English is to help people visualize it. The thing about Carl's drawings is they are so clear," Lieber said.
"Another thing that is very hard to do in the world of personal finance is to make it funny, or at least fun. More often than not, Carl's sketches cause you to chuckle, in addition to making you think really hard."
Unlikely beginning • Richards' path to the pinnacle of newspapers is a modern Horatio Alger story of pure luck. Uncertain about what to study in the mid-1990s, he was an undeclared major at the University of Utah and laboring for a landscaping company. (He later earned a finance degree from the U.)
"My wife decided that digging ditches wasn't a long-term career, so she had been looking in the Want Ads for me and found this job that we thought I could do," Richards recalls.
The ad was placed by Fidelity Investments, the Boston-based mutual fund giant that had opened an office and call center in Salt Lake City in 1986. Fidelity's name, though, didn't signal much to Richards. He wasn't sure what a mutual fund was. It didn't matter anyway. A sinewy 6-foot-tall, 160-pounder, he was applying to be a watchman.
"When I went to the interview, I was expecting a security job, like a bouncer," he said. "It turns out it was securities, not security."
Richards is a deft speaker, which helped him trounce all of the other candidates, except one. At the end, though, the interviewer chose the other applicant.
"We were sitting next to each other," Richards said. "And the guy looked at me and said, 'I don't want it.'
"That's how I ended up in this industry."
He stayed with Fidelity for a year, answering calls from clients who had questions about their accounts or were asking for stock quotes or placing trade orders. When he wasn't on the phone, Richards was training to be a broker.
Prudential Securities was his next employer, and from there Richards went to Merrill Lynch, where he worked until 2004, when he established his own firm, Clearwater Wealth Management. Last year, because his clients were now scattered across the U.S., and to avoid any chance of a copyright infringement suit, Richards changed the name to Prasada Capital Management. The firm has about 40 individual and institutional clients to whom he is fiercely loyal.
Conventional trappings of wealth don't tell Richards' story, but his unconventional approach to explaining wealth concepts help define him.
By modern standards, especially those of Park City, his home is modest. Large windows frame the Wasatch Mountains a few miles away, but it is not a million-dollar view. A family man with four children, he carves out time to ski and pedal a mountain bike, although the bike is only a single-speed and he keeps only one pair of skis instead of the eight he used to think were necessary to excel at the sport.
Market observer • This Zen-like quest for simplicity and focus traces to the time when Richards was still a Fidelity neophyte. Around the time Netscape set the markets on fire with the first public offering of its stock, he noticed something so interesting that he decided to make finance his career.
"I remember actually saying, 'There is sort of [a] 'secrets of the wealthy.' What are these people doing that's different from somebody who isn't?' It's not a judgement of bad or good. It's just that they were doing something different, and I was intrigued," he said.
The difference was behavior, he concluded. Wealthy investors bought and held. Everyone else seemed to churn their accounts, buying or selling as the markets bounced around or to chase the latest hot investment. Sometimes they struck it rich; mostly their returns were mediocre.
Richards developed a drawing to illustrate this common-sense observation of personal finance. Called the behavior gap, the picture makes clear that the average investor underperforms the average investment. The search for the best investment leads most people to buy high and sell low over and over. By contrast, investments held for long stretches produce higher returns.
The concept is so simple that all Richards needs is a bar napkin and a Sharpie to demonstrate it. As a wealth manager, he has drawn the behavior gap and other financial notions for clients hundreds of times. It is a rare person who doesn't get it when they see something in black and white.
"What is so genius about [the drawings] is they almost always cause you to recognize something in yourself that might not be quite right — a failure of thinking, or an emotional weakness or a tendency to defer difficult decisions," Lieber said.
"He pokes fun at those things, on one hand. But they are also a reminder of the fact that these things don't go away. The humor, in some ways, is almost confrontational, but not in an off-putting way," Lieber said.
Richards has been drawing pictures and writing for Lieber for more than a year. Richards came to Lieber's attention in 2009, when he wrote complimenting the Times editor for one of his columns on financial planning.
"I don't know if I would call Ron a friend of the planning industry, but he's an advocate of good planning. It was apparent in the column that it was written critical of the industry, but in a way trying to encourage the industry," Richards said.
"So I remember reading it and thinking, 'Wow, he's really trying to push us toward being better, so I emailed him and said that was a great column.' "
The two traded emails for awhile, and occasionally Richards would attach one of his sketches. When someone else messaged Lieber about Richards, Lieber looked closer at the pictures and liked what he saw.
What lies ahead • In October 2009, Lieber asked Richards to be part of an experiment in which Richards would answer personal finance questions from Times readers. When that went well, the two agreed Richards would blog for the paper. Each post would include a drawing that got at the behavioral concepts in finance.
"I think there's a real humility to his work," Lieber said. "He has an understanding of the kind of emotional foibles that can set us adrift, that comes from the fact that he wasn't raised with a silver spoon ... I think that helps him."
The first sketch appeared in February 2010. Richards' life hasn't been the same since. The Parsons New School of Design in New York asked him to submit drawings for a workshop and show that explored the use of illustrations to explain financial concepts.
Staged in October at the New School's gallery next to the historic Forbes building on Fifth Avenue, the show included exhibitors included other exhibitors such as Minh Uong, the Times' art director, as well as artists whose works have appeared in The Economist, Canadian Business and The Wall Street Journal.
"These were real artists," Richards said. "But then they had me lead the workshop on why do we need to come up with a new language to communicate some of these issues because people aren't understanding them."
Earlier this month, Richards got a phone call from Courtney Young, an editor at Portfolio, the business book unit of the Penguin Group publishing house. She asked him about a possible book deal.
"I found his material very compelling, and it was crying to be a book. I think he has a really fresh take on not just financial planning, but in the way people should be thinking about money in their lives," Young said. Two weeks later, they reached a deal.
The book of essays and drawings will be released in January. The publishing schedule is "aggressive," but she thinks Richards is up to the challenge.
"I think the timing is right for this book. I think it will resonate with readers, and we want to get it out there," she said.
Richards is trying to fathom all that's happened to him in the past two years and what lies ahead, including a travel show of his work and that of other artists and, possibly, a retail endeavor, because his signed prints are selling for more than $100 apiece.
Most of his life has been unexpected and unscripted, though, a fact he readily concedes. Despite being a planner, he's never planned his career.
"It's been one really neat surprise after another."

Tow Tractors with heavy duty carts are now widely used to move materials efficiently. Even companies who are hesitant to give up forklifts at first are now using tugger trucks. Both manned and unmanned trucks have proven to be more efficient, more cost effective and more productive. They are also more ergonomic and more flexible to use than the traditional forklifts.
The carts are designed like trains. The main or "mother" truck is linked with multiple carts, allowing it to move multiple loads at a time. The unmanned tugger truck is designed with an automated system. It has a limited speed and pre-set route or destination. On the other hand, the manual tow tractor allows the operator to control the cart's speed, route and destination.
Most tow tractors have a maximum capacity of 10,000 pounds. Regardless of the capacity, the number of carts that can be linked and pulled from behind the main truck is limitless.
The carts can tilt, rotate, and elevate. They can also be placed at the ideal distance and heights through rollers, cubicles and integrated spinning carousels. These ergonomic factors help to minimize the operator's reaching, stretching, bending, and strains.
Cesar Jimenez, who works for Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. pointed out that a forklift can only carry up to two loads at a time. But with a tugger, multiple heavy duty carts can be pulled and moved at the same time.
The ergonomic design of tow tractors is beneficial to workers. With the help of tow trucks, people can move heavy carts without strain. The workers no longer experience the same fatigue they get from using forklifts. As a result, they can stay alert and productive for a longer period.
Workers are required to learn more things in using forklifts. They need to know how to pick up the load from the rack or the ground. There is a greater risk of damage if the load is not picked up properly.
Unlike forklifts, tugger trucks are easy to use so anyone can operate them. They allow more flexibility in workstations since the products can be moved from one location to another by anyone who is available. The products are also safer since the loads are simply attached to carts. The truck allows visibility for drivers. It can maneuver around tight turns and it doesn't tip over.
The safety of heavy duty carts has a positive impact on overall productivity and cost. There are no known major accidents caused by tugger train systems. The ergonomic design also reduces injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. As a result, workers experience less fatigue and fewer injuries. There are fewer absences and lower insurance claims.
Removing the cart from the train can be challenging. If the needed load is placed in between two carts, it has to be unlinked from both and dragged away. After the cart is removed, the other two carts have to be reconnected.
While the number of carts pulled behind the mother truck is limitless, it can be limited by the truck's hauling capacity. Numerous carts can be complicated to drive if they have to travel on an inclined surface, rough road or outside the facility.
The number of carts can also be limited by a narrow path if the truck has to turn. The first two carts at the back of the mother tuck can follow the same maneuver but the third cart may turn at a slightly different radius.


What do you notice about the graph on either side of the nucleus?
Are the two sides similar?
If so, what does that show?
What do you notice about the shape of the three gaussians?
How similar is each one to the simple gaussian we first created?
How do they relate to the LCAO? Discuss these questions and compare results with you lab parter and classmates?
How accurate is each of the gaussian approximations?
Which approximation is the most accurate?
Which one takes the most time to compute?
How does accuracy relate to number of gaussians used?
Which is more important, the time required or the accuracy?
How should we decide which approximation to use for a specific project?
