Abstract: We give refined estimates for the discrete time and continuous time versionsof some basic random walks on the symmetric and alternating groups $S n$ and$A n$. We consider the following models: random transposition, transpose topwith random, random insertion, and walks generated by the uniform measure on aconjugacy class. In the case of random walks on $S n$ and $A n$ generated bythe uniform measure on a conjugacy class, we show that in continuous time the$\ell^2$-cuttoff has a lower bound of $n-2\log n$. This result, along withthe results of M\-uller, Schlage-Puchta and Roichman, demonstrates that thecontinuous time version of these walks may take much longer to reachstationarity than its discrete time counterpart.


A new kind of private members club has opened its doors in Dubai, and here's what sets the creative hub apart from existing members only clubs in the emirate.
Last month, local entrepreneur Mohammed Zaal unveiled his latest creation to the world.
The Emirati businessman – who left his job as the Chief Operating Officer of Al Barari to create KOA Canvas, a premium property development company – opened the doors to a new, home-grown private members club.
And with the new opening in Al Safa Street came a new concept. Nasab requires its members to be interesting and creative rather than wealthy or notable.
Owner Zaal envisions it as a place where work, play and family come together, and the members serve a part of a community.
But while the concept may set it apart, the amenities mirror that of many other members-only clubs. Expect fully equipt gyms with a populated schedule, a selection of pool to suit all needs and desires, massage rooms beside meditation chambers, multiple restaurants and coffee spots, and even a unique photography studio.
But tapping into that creative flair it prides itself on, one of the unmissable features on the new haunt is the entrance area that is three storeys high a gives off the feel of a metropolitan library built for the modern era.
Currently, there are five membership plans in place, starting from just Dhs 750 per month.
While Nasab breaks the mold within the industry, there are still plenty of other private members clubs in the emirate that are thriving.
Take Capital Club Dubai, which opened in DIFC in 2008. It's been named as one of the most exclusive clubs in the world and has birthed many important deals and collaborations.
Elsewhere, clubs such as Socialista Dubai and Elite Club are still in operation here in Dubai.
Later this year, however, one of the most famous members-only clubs in the world – with the likes of Charles Dickens being a member of the London branch in his day – will land in the UAE. The Arts Clubs is set to open in some time in 2019.

The 34th Plenary Meeting of the EuroQol Group took place in Barcelona on 21st and 22nd September 2017. The local hosts of the meeting were Mike Herdman (UK-born but a Barcelona resident for many years), Juan Manuel Ramos-Goñi and Oliver Rivero-Arias. For the second year running, I chaired the Scientific Programme together with Anna Lugnér.
At its inception, the EuroQol Group was very much a northern European collaboration – the early versions of the EuroQol instrument (now known as the EQ-5D) were developed by researchers in the Netherlands, UK, Sweden, Finland and Norway – see here for an overview of the Group and its history. This year's Plenary Meeting was attended by 111 participants (primarily academic researchers) representing 23 different countries spanning six continents.
As with previous Plenary Meetings, an HESG-style discussant format was followed – papers were pre-circulated to participants and presented by discussants rather than by authors. The parallel poster sessions also followed a discussant format, with approximately 10 minutes dedicated to the discussion of each poster. In total, 19 papers and 20 posters were presented. For the first time, the majority of the papers were lead-authored by women.
One of the themes of the meeting was a focus on the relationships and interactions between EQ-5D dimensions. A paper by Anna Selivanova compared health state values derived from discrete choice data both with and without interactions. Anna reported results demonstrating that interactions are important and that the interaction between mobility and self-care was the most salient. Another paper by Thor Gamst-Klaussen (represented at the meeting by co-author Jan Abel Olsen) explored the causal and effect nature of EQ-5D dimensions. The authors applied confirmatory tetrad analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to multi-country, cross-sectional data in order to test a conceptual framework depicting relationships among the five dimensions. The results suggest that the EQ-5D comprises both causal variables – mobility, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression – and effect variables – self-care and usual activities.
An intriguing paper by John Hartman tested for differences in respondent characteristics, participation, response quality and EQ-5D-5L values depending on the device and connection used to access an online survey. The results showed systematic variability in participation and response quality, but the variability did not affect the resulting health state values. The findings could support extending the administration of valuation surveys to smaller devices (e.g. mobile phones) to obtain responses from younger, more ethnically diverse populations who have traditionally been found to be difficult to recruit.
Other topics covered in the programme included the views of UK decision makers on the role of well-being in resource allocation decisions, the development of a value set for the EQ-5D-Y (a version of the EQ-5D designed for use in children and adolescents), and the prevalence and impact of so-called 'implausible' health states.
The Plenary Meeting concluded with a guest presentation by Janel Hanmer of the University of Pittsburgh, followed by a reception at a restaurant on the Montjuïc hill overlooking the Barcelona harbour. The next EuroQol conference will be the Academy Meeting, which takes place in Budapest on 6-8 March 2018.

Q: Wireless internet is too unstable on Ubuntu 19.10 I'm having this issue on Ubuntu 19.10, but I also noticed in previous versions (as 19.04). I use a 5GHz Wi-Fi on my notebook, the signal arrives with medium strength (at least by looking at the icons of wi-fi).
On Ubuntu, I'm noticing a lot of instability. I just did a speed-test using fast.com and the internet went from 55Mb/s to 7.7Mb/s middle test, stayed a considerable time at 7.7-12Mb and then went right back to bigger numbers (on Windows those tests indicated a speed of around 95Mb/s).
When using Netflix or Stremio, the issue is clearer, as those services warn you when they notice you aren't connected. I receive a bunch of these warnings, as if my connection is on and off (and probably is).
I turned Power Management off, and the problem is not solved at all.

1886/1887 autograph album of Roy H. Chapin of Fenton, Michigan. Sadly, Roy would die in 1888. He's buried at the Oakwood Cemetery at Fenton, Michigan, where his parents and other relatives are buried.
The album is approximately 5" x 3" and contains the sentiments of six of Roy's relatives and friends. The front cover is detached, and there might be few missing pages in the front, including any title page, ownership page or presentation page that might have existed. An alphabetical list of the signers appears at the end of this post.
Roy H. Chapin was born about 1876 in Genesee County, Michigan, the son of Addison P. Chapin and Mina G. (Hamper) Chapin, who were born at Fenton, Michigan, and Ashford, in Kent, England, respectively. Roy's father signed a page in the album on January 23, 1886.
Roy's mother Mina didn't sign a page in the album, unless she signed a page that is now missing. Representating Roy's maternal line, however, was signer Beatrice Hamper of Greenville, Michigan, who was the daughter of Mina's older brother Henry Hamper. Beatrice signed her page on December 10, 1887.
The four other signed pages in the album were signed by people with the surname Lee, two of whom didn't mention a residence and two who gave their residence as Fenton, Michigan.
E. E. Lee signed a page on June 26, 1886. He may have been Elmer E. Lee.
S. S. Lee signed a page.
Edith Lee of Fenton, Michigan, signed a page on June 26, 1886. She may have been Harriet Edith Lee, brother of Elmer E. Lee, who may have been the E. E. Lee who signed a page above.
S. O. Lee of Fenton, Michigan, signed a page on June 27, 1886.
The History of Genesee County, Michigan: Her People, Industries and Institutions, written by Edwin O. Wood, LL.D., and published in 1916, contains a brief biography of Roy H. Chapin's oldest brother, Floyd A. Chapin, who became postmaster of Fenton, Michigan. The biography has information on the brothers' parents and grandparents, but there's no mention, sadly, of Roy.
If you have corrections and/or additions to the information above, or information to tease out the identities of the various members of the Lee family, please leave a comment or contact me directly. Thanks!


The DJ duo Two Friends became "two friends" well before the pair produced their first beat. Back in seventh grade, Matt and Eli met in the halls of middle school. "We were mutual friends with a dude named Ben, so we ate lunch together one day. Thanks Ben," says Matt. The music then interest blossomed alongside the friendship. Other than Eli's early success with a few popular mashups, the duo had zero experience before diving into music production senior year in high school. "We formed 'Two Friends' way before we had any clue what we were doing," admit Matt and Eli. Matt's earliest influences included almost no electronic music. Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, and Blink 182 dominated his classic and alternative rock upbringing. Gravitating towards hip-hop early on, Eli bumped electronic music on his playlists slightly before Matt. Eventually, both embraced the electronic genre as their influences evolved alongside the transition. "Now, we'll love someone's production, songwriting, or experimentation," tells Eli. Anything fresh catches their attention.
Like any couple, Matt and Eli excel in different circles of competence, adding to the overall quality of the music. As a kid, Matt's Dad made him play guitar. His early instrument of choice paid off as the group now records guitar on almost every track. In high school, Eli fiddled with the clarinet, "which unfortunately has translated onto zero of our tracks," he jokes. As Eli isn't insanely organized with his ideas, Matt takes the lead on organization and most production projects, while Eli has carved out responsibility with most DJing and all mixes. The give and take has been intact since they produced their first beat together for a college rapper named Gabriel Stark. The duo began sampling rap beats before they learned enough skills to produce electronic music.
Matt and Eli, graduates of Stanford and Vanderbilt respectively, are no strangers to firing up a college crowd on tour. They still gravitate towards college venues because of the relentlessly good vibes. While still in school, Matt and Eli remember the moment they each realized their musical callings. A sophomore on winter break, Matt was lying in bed, eyes glued to the ceiling, imagining the success down the road from hard work. Having a less sober realization, Eli texted Matt from a Porter Robinson concert nearby campus. "I was texting things like damn this guy is the same age as us – we can do this. Matt was cracking up at my typos but down for the mission," remembers Eli. The mission, working as full time DJ's, is like starting a company. Friday and Saturday night shows mean using the little time left on Sunday to prepare for the upcoming week in the studio. Used to the unforgiving hours, they hang out with friends and savor off days to recharge creatively.

The Cutest Disney-Owned Characters from the 2010s
in Disney, Entertainment, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars
Posted on December 23, 2019 December 23, 2019 by TJ Muscaro
Credit: Disney
If there is one thing we can count on, it's that The Walt Disney Company will give us something to go "aww" at for about a year or so. A little dash of cuteness that ends up taking over audience focus, and becomes the internet's latest obsession. And year after year Disney managed to deliver the cuteness either through Walt Disney Animation or through Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel for the entirety of the 2010s.
So, as we say goodbye to 2019 and the rest of the past decade, let's take a moment to look back on that cuteness by remembering the cutest characters to come out of every year between 2010 and 2019:
2010: Pascal & Maximus (Tangled)
Credit: Giphy
The 2010s began with Walt Disney Animation's 50th film and first computer-animated feature film. Tangled introduced Disniacs to Rapunzel, and Flynn, but more importantly, we met Pascal and Maximus. These two wacky characters pack so much sassy personality that it's hard to contain them.
Is it a cop-out to group them both together? Maybe. But the duo really is a package deal for this film franchise. They are two halves of the same sassy cute coin.
2011: Winnie the Pooh & Friends (Winnie the Pooh)
2011 saw a lack of new cuteness but also the revival of some good old fashioned Disney. Winnie the Pooh and all his pals returned to theaters in another series of adventures in The Hundred Acre Woods. At the point of this article being written, this was the last hand-drawn feature-length animated feature made by Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Winnie the Pooh and his pals are classic characters that got their chance to take center stage once more with Jim Cummings voicing Pooh and Tigger, John Cleese as the Narrator, and Craig Ferguson as Owl. The film is filled with witty humor and wholesome adventures that every Disniac can appreciate.
2012: Vanellope von Schweetz (Wreck-It Ralph)
2012 was the year of Princess Vanellope von Schweetz. This crazy candy-racing princess with her squeaky voice melted the heart of everyone who watched the movie. Her child-like innocence combined with her action hero agility made her an instant favorite. She connected with audiences as the quirky outcast who has always been told she is a problem but who, in the end, proves herself to stand above the rest.
2013: Olaf & Sven (Frozen)
Thanksgiving 2013, we got our new favorite snowman and reindeer. Olaf, the completely innocent little snowman voiced by Josh Gad walked into our lives saying "Hi I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!" This is of course after we meet the lovable reindeer, Sven, and his human, Kristoff. Sven is a "Silent Bob" type, speaking through Kristoff and using hilarious body language to convey everything else.
Olaf is one of the most lovable and loving characters to come out of Disney, melting our hearts with lines like "Some people are worth melting for," and hilarious songs like "In Summer." He and Sven have brief but hilarious moments together, mostly in a battle for Olaf's carrot nose. But the two form an amazing friendship and, like Pascal and Maximus, are two sides of the same coin.
2014: Baymax (Big Hero 6)
Marvel's cuddly caring action-packing healthcare professional was the most adorable and lovable character to come out of a Disney movie in 2014. Dedicated to healing protagonist Hiro Hamada's emotional damage, Baymax dawns an armored suit to become a superhero. This tender, round, marshmallow-looking robot has the smoothest voice, sickest moves, and unbeatable fist-bumping skills. He's also hilarious when he's deflated and on low battery.
Baymax has a childlike innocence in that he is new to the world and spends the entire movie learning and growing mentally. Throughout the film, he remains completely selfless willing to do anything to Hiro. We are very satisfied with our care, buddy.
2015: BB-8 (Star Wars: The Force Awakens)
Let's B honest here, BB-8 was not met with immediate affection. This robotic beachball appeared to be a replacement for R2-D2 that was brought in as a ploy to attract the younger generation. But it turns out, BB-8 is a character all his own with enough personality to fill a Star Destroyer. He's spunky, energetic, and arguably has better banter with his humans than R2-D2.
BB-8 is extremely agile and can have a far more cartoon-like quality. He provides comedic relief in moments that don't seem anywhere near as forced as R2-D2s moments in the prequels. Also, the BB-8 Sphero toy is arguably one of the best Star Wars toys out there.
2016: Baby Dory (Finding Dory)
Nobody asked for Baby Dory! But nobody's complaining! Pixar shocked the world when they released the first footage of Baby Dory. Her cute little voice and those big pink eyes melted every heart, and when she got lost, it broke every heart. But, everybody loves Dory, and seeing her as a happy innocent baby struggling with her short term memory loss won everybody over instantly.
There was a lot of cuteness in Finding Dory. From the giant sea otter cuddle parties to Becky in her own quirky twitchy way. But at the end of the day, it's Baby Dory that swims above the rest.
2017: Baby Groot (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2)
"I am Groot." Groot's sacrifice at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy broke our hearts. The dancing sapling during the credits gave us hope for a new life. Then, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 delivered what was at one point the most adorable creature in the galaxy. Baby Groot wasn't the smartest Guardian, but his big-eyes and his courageous optimism won over the hearts of every Marvel fan. (Also, it's impossible to watch his dance scene at the beginning and not fall in love with the creature.)

2018: Jack-Jack (Incredibles 2)
The only character to steal the show as much as "Baby Yoda". While Incredibles 2 was supposed to be a positive message to a budding generation as well as a warning against the media elites, it became over two hours of Jack-Jack antics with a little Mrs. Incredible action thrown in.
Jack-Jack is the most rambunctious, cookie-obsessed super baby in the Pixar universe. From teleportation to his demon-level tantrums, Jack-Jack is hilarious and adorable and far exceeded any expectations from the first Incredibles movie. But, if the movie didn't convince you, watch the short with Jack-Jack and Edna Mode.
2019: "Baby Yoda" (The Mandalorian)

There was a lot of cuteness this year, but let's be honest, there was no real competition. "The Child"–or "Baby Yoda" as the internet calls him–is without a doubt the cutest Disney character to come out of 2019, and the new cutest creature in all the galaxy. While yes, this is not a character from a movie, "The Child" streamed from Disney+ straight into our hearts. It has taken over the internet on an unprecedented scale and has earned the exception.
As this article is being written, we still have a lot to learn about "The Child." What's his name? What's his species called? Where did he come from? There's a good chance he will be with us for a while. But, we're not complaining.
Who knows what new cuteness the 2020s will bring. Little is still known about the movies and Disney+ shows that are on their way. But one thing we can count on is finding an adorable character to steal the show. However they appear, we will be ready.
What/who do you think will be the cutest character of 2020? Do you disagree with any of our claims? Let us know in the comments!

Molly Ringwald to headline Provincetown Jazz Festival
Cape Cod Life / August 2017 / Art & Entertainment
Writer: Haley Cote
"I wasn't really interested in becoming a pop star—it wasn't really a thing in my era—so I felt that I had to make the choice, and I chose acting," Ringwald says. "But singing is always something that I just did for fun, and I had it in the back of my head that I'd like to put a group together to explore performing this music I love as an adult."
Out of all of her creative endeavors, Ringwald, who has recently appeared in ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager and CW's new series Riverdale, says singing gives her the most joy and "fires up" a different part of her brain. However, she also finds that acting, writing and singing are ultimately connected. "I approach every song the way I do material as an actress," she explains. "I look at the words musically much in the same way I do as a writer, so somehow it feels similar but different. Jazz is very collaborative and requires a lot of listening, which is actually a great exercise for an actor. I constantly feel like I am learning from the incredible musicians I get to work with."
When Ringwald takes the stage in Provincetown, attendees can experience her take on traditional jazz and hear selections from Except Sometimes—which features standards like "I'll Take Romance" and "The Very Thought of You," as well as a jazzy, nostalgia-inducing rendition of Simple Minds' 1985 hit "Don't You (Forget About Me)," a song forever linked to The Breakfast Club. "My shows are always a little different depending on the audience," Ringwald says, "but generally I would say they're fun, at times emotional, and people tend to feel good after—I realize that sounds a bit like therapy."
Looking ahead, Ringwald plans to release a new album, recorded live from a weeklong run at the iconic Birdland Jazz Club in New York, and this fall she and her band will perform in China for the first time.
The Crown & Anchor is located at 247 Commercial Street, Provincetown; and Cotuit Center for the Arts is at 4404 Route 28, Cotuit. For more information about the festival, visit provincetownjazzfestival.org.

Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center names Kurt Shickman Director for Extreme Heat
WASHINGTON, DC – September 21, 2021 – The Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center (Arsht-Rock) names Kurt Shickman as their Director for Extreme Heat. As Director for Extreme Heat, Shickman will contribute to the team's efforts to building human capacity for resilience in the face of climate change. Building upon the Center's Extreme Heat program, he will bolster and renew their work to establish effective policies and solutions to combat the ever-increasing threat of rising global temperatures, focusing on urban areas.
"I am incredibly excited and honored to join this team that is working tirelessly to build resilience to extreme heat for a healthier, fairer, and more prosperous future."
Kurt Shickman
For the past ten years, Shickman has served as the Executive Director of the Global Cool Cities Alliance (GCCA), a non-profit dedicated to accelerating the use of passive cooling solutions in urban and rural communities worldwide to enhance their resilience to extreme heat. As executive director, he oversaw creating and implementing multiple partnerships, networks, and technical toolkits to address extreme heat within numerous global settings. These initiatives include the Smart Surfaces Coalition, the Million Cool Roofs Challenge, and the Cool Roadways Partnership.
Shickman also served as an expert to the Clean Energy Solutions Center and has advised and led projects for the U.S. Department of Energy, the World Bank, Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Clean Energy Ministerial. In addition to his time with GCCA, he served as the Director of Research Energy and Climate for the Energy Future Coalition within the United Nations Foundation and has written extensively on extreme heat and urban cooling.
"Kurt is the best in the business! His leadership and impact-driven expertise in urban heat and resilience will be a game-changer for this urgent body of work. We are thrilled that he has joined Arsht-Rock to build on our efforts to protect people and communities from the impacts of extreme heat."
Kathy Baughman McLeod
Shickman's appointment comes on the heels of a brutal Heat Season that hit the globe in waves this summer. He will lead the Arsht-Rockefeller Resilience Center's flagship program, the Extreme Heat Resilience Alliance (EHRA). Founded in August 2020, the center has worked through EHRA to assemble a diverse group of experts to increase collective and individual resilience to extreme heat through education, policy, finance, and implementation solutions for one billion people around the globe. The goal of the alliance – consisting of over 40 member cities, organizations, elected officials, companies, scientists, and extreme-heat experts – is to protect lives and livelihoods from the dangers of extreme heat, focusing on the most vulnerable people and communities. It does so by:
Educating decision-makers linked to vulnerable communities about the risks and impacts of extreme heat by making data and risk assessment tools more widely available;
Recommending and working to enact policies that help governments increase heat resilience in their communities;
Providing better access to affordable financing solutions for heat reduction or protection, including extreme heat risk transfer products;
Quantifying the economic impacts of extreme heat to raise awareness and motivate action;
Implementing replicable, effective on-the-ground interventions for extreme heat reduction
The Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center will reach one billion people with resilience solutions to climate change, migration, and security challenges by 2030. We will focus our efforts on individuals, communities, and a broad spectrum of governments and institutions to help them, and their constituencies and stakeholders, better prepare for, navigate, and recover from shocks and stresses. We will help build a more resilient world.
Arsht-Rock mobilizes innovative and replicable interventions to build resilience to extreme heat, protecting and improving lives.

The Bush - Haters Handbook: A Guide to the Most Appalling Presidency of the Past 100 Years
by Jack Huberman
Book Description: The Bush-Haters Handbook is a godsend to those looking for a concise, mordantly entertaining overview of the Bush record from a liberal perspective, or those who want to arm themselves with talking points, facts, and figures for debates with conservatives, and at those seeking the perfect holiday gift book for that certain, special Bush-hater in their lives-or for a Bush-lover they hope to rescue from the outer darkness. Summarizing, detailing, and bewailing all of the more important Bush administration outrages, and some of the more trivial ones, this book is the brainchild of Jack Huberman, a former Canadian who took up U.S. citizenship just so he could vote against Dubya in 2000. Topics range from abortion, AIDS, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and Ashcroft, to women and workplace safety. Other major topics include budget and taxes, civil liberties, death penalty, defense spending, education, environment, gun control, health care, homeland security, Iraq, judicial nominations, "nucular" weapons, patients' rights, privacy, public land, September 11 and the war on terror, and social security. In between are a variety of smaller topics, such as Bush's language abilities (featuring a selection of priceless Bushisms). The pages are also enlivened by sidebars, "boxed" lists, and political cartoons.

Stupid White Men ...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!
by Michael Moore
Stupid White Men, Michael Moore's screed against "Thief-in-Chief" George Bush's power elite, hit No. 1 at Amazon.com within days of publication. Why? It's as fulminating and crammed with infuriating facts as any right-wing bestseller, as irreverent as The Onion, and as noisily entertaining as a wrestling smackdown. Moore offers a more interesting critique of the 2000 election than Ralph Nader's Crashing the Party (he argued with Nader, his old boss, who sacked him), and he's serious when he advocates ousting Bush. But Moore's rage is outrageous, couched in shameless gags and madcap comedy: "Old white men wielding martinis and wearing dickies have occupied our nation's capital.... Launch the SCUD missiles! Bring us the head of Antonin Scalia!... We are no longer [able] to hold free and fair elections. We need U.N. observers, U.N. troops." Moore's ideas range from on-the-money (Arafat should beat Sharon with Gandhi's nonviolent shame tactics) to over-the-top: blacks should put inflatable white dolls in their cars so racist cops will think they're chauffeurs; the ever-more-Republicanesque Democratic Party should be sued for fraud; "no contributions toward advancing our civilization ever came out of the South [except Faulkner, Hellman, and R.J. Reynolds]," because it's too hot to think straight there; Korean dictator Kim Jong-il "has got to broaden himself beyond porn and John Wayne" by watching better movies, like Dude, Where's My Car? (which contains "all you need to know about America"). Whatever your politics, Stupid White Men should make you blow your stack. --Tim Appelo, Amazon.com

Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush
by John W. Dean
The most facile presidential comparison one could make for George W. Bush would be his father, who presided over a war in Iraq and a struggling economy. Some "neocons" reject the parallel and compare Bush to his father's predecessor, Ronald Reagan, citing a plainspoken quality and a belief in deep tax cuts. But John Dean goes further back, seeing in Bush all the secrecy and scandal of Dean's former boss, the notorious Richard Nixon. The difference, as the title of Dean's book indicates, is that Bush is a heck of a lot worse. While the book provides insightful snippets of the way Nixon used to do business, it offers them to shed light on the practices of Bush. In Dean's estimation, the secrecy with which Bush and Dick Cheney govern is not merely a preferred system of management but an obsessive strategy meant to conceal a deeply troubling agenda of corporate favoritism and a dramatic growth in unchecked power for the executive branch that put at risk the lives of American citizens, civil liberties, and the Constitution. Dean sets out to make his point by drawing attention to several areas about which Bush and Cheney have been tight-lipped: the revealing by a "senior White House official" of the identity of an undercover CIA operative whose husband questioned the administration, the health of Cheney, the identity of Cheney's energy task force, the information requested by the bi-partisan 9/11 commission, Bush's business dealings early in his career, the creation of a "shadow government", wartime prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, and scores more. He theorizes that the truth about these and many other situations, including the decision to go to war in Iraq, will eventually surface and that Bush and Cheney's secrecy is a thus far effective means of keep a lid on a rapidly multiplying set of lies and scandals that far outstrip the misdeeds that led directly to Dean's former employer resigning in disgrace. Dean's charges are impassioned and more severe than many of Bush's most persistent critics. But those charges are realized only after careful reasoning and steady logic by a man who knows his way around scandal and corruption. --John Moe - Amazon.com

MERVIN C. MYERSON, M.D.; JOSEPH G. GILBERT, M.D.
Knowledge of invasion of the temporal bone by the tubercle bacillus has increased greatly in recent years. Few of the earlier textbooks on otology mentioned aural tuberculosis. References to it were usually buried in the chapter on chronic suppurations of the ear. Louis mentioned that Ménière was the first to direct attention to the destructive action of the tubercle bacillus on the tympanic membrane. This, he claimed, resulted in deafness. Ménière's observations are of interest because they were made before the discovery of the tubercle bacillus by Koch in 1882. It was during the same year that Politzer first reported his histopathologic studies of tuberculosis.

Q: Select2 li - aria-selected=true is not read as selected by screen reader I am currently using select2.js version 4.0 and having this issue where screen reader (NVDA) won't read the selected option, even aria-selected="true" is added correctly to the current selected li. And when I go the unselected options, it read as example, "German not selected" which is correct. I tried using the version 4.1 as well but still having the same problem. I was wondering if there's an issue with aria-selected="true" in select2.js? can't really find a stated issue for this. Thanks for the help.
Here's my select option after select2 is applied,

And here's the view when opened

A: That's how NVDA works.  Each screen reader (NVDA, JAWS, Voiceover, Talkback, Narrator, etc) will choose how to announce aria attributes.  In this case, for aria-selected, you get different results for aria-selected depending on the role of the element and you get different results in different browsers.  You can try to code around this by having your own hidden text that the screen reader reads but in general it's just best to let the screen reader decide how an attribute will be read.
Here's how convoluted aria-selected is just for Firefox and Chrome (let alone Edge, Safari, or IE).  And this is just with NVDA.  I'm sure the results will be difference for JAWS, Voiceover, etc.
