Gardai were not involved in the drafting of witness statements criticised by a trial judge in the prosecution of former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick, a court has heard.
Lawyers for Mr FitzPatrick (68), who is accused of misleading auditors about multi-million euro loans, have previously said that statements from witnesses from the auditors were produced as a result of coaching and cross-contamination between witnesses.
Earlier this week the jury heard that the practices used by investigators from the Office of Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) were found to be "unlawful" by Judge Mary Ellen Ring during the first trial in May 2015.
On day 73 of the trial in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, the jury was shown a letter written by Detective Superintendent Gerard Walsh in June 2015 relating to the adjournment of that trial.
In the email, which accompanies a report made by Detective Inspector Raymond Kavanagh, Superintendent Walsh states that "the garda unit seconded to the ODCE were not involved in drafting of the witness statements the subject of courts criticism".
The email requested that the attached report be forwarded to garda management. Kevin O'Connell, a lead investigator who had admitted his involvement in wrong and inappropriate practices, told the jury that Dt Inspector Kavanagh was present during a meeting in December 2010 where drafting of statements had taken place.
At this time DI Kavanagh had just recently taken on the seconded role with the ODCE, he said.
Mr O'Connell has also previously admitted shredding documents which were relevant to the investigation. Today he told the jury that he discovered the documents on a Friday evening after he had spent four days under cross-examination over the drafting of the statements during the first trial.
Earlier that same day he had discovered 16 pages relevant to the investigation. He brought these to the attention of the director of corporate enforcement Ian Drennan and the documents were scanned and emailed to the DPP.
Henry Matthews, an officer with the DPP, then told Mr O'Connell that the late discovery of relevant documents was unfortunate and most unhelpful and that he would have to go back into the witness box to account for it.
He told Mr Condon that he was terrified about the prospect of having to get back into the witness box and undergo further cross-examination. He said the elation he had felt after finishing his evidence turned to panic.
A short time late he discovered four more documents related to EY (formerly Ernst & Young), Anglo's auditors from 2002 to 2008. He said his panic grew and he decided to shred the documents.
"It was a completely wrong thing to do. I'm ashamed of it. I have never done anything like it before nor I hope will I ever again.
"It was a time of very considerable pressure. I made a desperate, desperate mistake. I was aware of what they were, that further heightened the panic I was in.
"It was a time of enormous strain, more so than I'd ever experienced in my professional career before," Mr O'Connell said. He said that over the weekend he despaired and agonised over his actions and realised he could not maintain the lie.
He said without prompting from anyone else he rang his boss Ian Drennan and told him what had happened.
"All I can be grateful for is, 48 hours later, I did the right thing in admitting the wrong thing that I had done. I'm glad I did," he said.
The jury was shown CCTV footage from the ODCE offices showing Mr O'Connell bringing a tray of documents from his office to a shredding room. A colleague, Garda Gary Callinan, approached Mr O'Connell at this time and Mr O'Connell can be seen attempting to conceal the documents while the two men talk.
Mr Condon pointed out that around half an hour earlier Garda Callinan had been in Mr O'Connell's office "shooting the breeze" and having a social conversation. Mr O'Connell agreed that he had the documents at this point and did not disclose it to his "trusted colleague".
He said that "the train had already left the station" and his mind was made up to destroy the documents. "Another grave error on my part. I regret I didn't tell him," Mr O'Connell said.
Garda Callinan previously testified that it was a normal conversation and he didn't notice anything unusual about Mr O'Connell, the court heard.
Mr O'Connell told the court that his decision to destroy the documents was unethical.
Mr Condon described it "an absolute disgrace", saying: "it was without doubt a truly appalling thing for a State investigator, given the powers available to you".
Mr FitzPatrick of Whitshed Road, Greystones, Co Wicklow has pleaded not guilty to 27 offences under the 1990 Companies Act. These include 22 charges of making a misleading, false or deceptive statement to auditors and five charges of furnishing false information in the years 2002 to 2007.
In other evidence the jury heard that a statement given by a witness for the prosecution was changed during a meeting the witness wasn't present for.
The jury were shown more drafts of what would eventually become the witness statement of Vincent Bergin, the audit manager for Anglo.
The change was detailed in an ODCE internal email dated December 5, 2010, weeks after the ODCE had received a first draft of the statement from EY's lawyers, A&L Goodbody.
In the subsequent weeks the ODCE produced their own version of the statement which included suggestions for additional paragraphs and for deleting sections.
Mr O'Connell noted that the lawyers have taken on board most of the suggested changes. He said that "most crucially" they changed what he said was a "rather weak statement" to one which includes the words: "from my perspective as the auditor receiving the letters… I believe the letters were misleading, false or deceptive in a material particular".
Mr Condon said it was a piece of brazenness for Mr O'Connell to presenting this change as theirs when he was in the room when it was agreed at a meeting with EY's lawyers.
He said that the "I" in the statement, Mr Bergin, wasn't in the room.
"His solicitor was typing out the wording which would be agreed with the ODCE," counsel said.
Mr O'Connell replied that he believed that the wording would ultimately only appear in the final statement of Mr Bergin if Mr Bergin was willing to adopt the wording.
"If he had any issues to that wording he would not have signed up to it," he said.
In an email sent in November to Mr O'Connell and referring to the "tidying up" of the statement, Liam Kennedy, partner with A&L Goodbody, states: "My client may simultaneously be doing some polishing".

I adore Anne Klein clothes. I bought a beautiful skirt by her once. After bringing it home, I had second thoughts, so I drove back to the store to return my purchase. The clerk asked if there was anything wrong with the skirt. I replied, "No." She then asked if it looked okay – which I replied, "It is lovely." When she began to ask a third question, I stopped her mid sentence and tensely stated, "I have a shopping problem, can you please just take the skirt back." She did so without any further interrogation.
I have given up wanting 'more' things, but not more of God. To continue my list from last week, I do want more, much more.
Yes, I am still guilty of greed and wanting more. God bless everyone.

Again I have been recruited to help in the gardens. I don't mind much…but life in Svarga is getting a bit boring. I think I'm going to travel the world and tell my stories.
My mother didn't like my decision to go, but I told her I couldn't stay in Svarga anymore. It's not that I find it boring, but I'm getting restless. So I leave ending of this month. And I think I will start in India first.
It is ending of the month and I have to say that I enjoy traveling around the poverty stricken parts of India and telling my stories. It teaches the people valuable lessons. And I bring some form of enjoyment to these people. More than 35% of India's 1.1 billion population lives off of less than $1 USD a day. And it's very rewarding to make these people laugh and take them away from their troubles for a little bit.
I was caught in a shoot out. Some men of Islamic religion came with guns and shot a bunch of people of Hindu religion. It disgusts me how twisted people can make their religion. Who has the right to say their religion is the one and only? The one whose god is recorded to be the oldest? For crying out loud, every damn religion claims their god came first! Sometimes I think it would be better not to have religions at all. One less thing to warp people's minds.
I can see why Mahakali liked to visit orphanages and shelters. It really makes you appreciate what we often take for granted. A meal everyday, a warm bed, family, knowing you're safe. These are all privileges. I think I will spend sometime at this orphanage I stumble upon. I love seeing the children smile and laugh at my stories.
Unfortunately I have to leave the orphanage for a little bit. I have been requested home to help with Amrita Shanna's birthday party. Preparations start two weeks in advance because first birthday parties last about a week. And considering how many will attend…that's a lot of food.
There was much celebrating. Everyday there was tons of food and entertainment. Rati had surprised Mahakali by making it a different color theme every day. I got to meet Amrita Shanna and Angelize's cousins Sosanna and Caden as well as Abaddon and Sorsha Faysal. One the last day, all the children from Amrav-Io attended, Mahakali had bouncing castles, shallow pools, tons of games and prizes prepared for the kids.
Finally it came time for the blessing. Amrita Shanna's head was shaved and covered in a red paste that signified her being blessed. Mahakali couldn't stop crying because she was so happy. She even had her little ānsū khārā dressed up.
So I returned to touring the world to tell my stories. First I went back and brought some gifts to the orphanage that Mahakali had a lot left over. Mahakali even accompanied me so she could say hello to all the children. Then I continued on with traveling and sharing my stories. Great tales that everyone has seemed to have forgotten about.
While I was in one of the small towns in India, I was approached by an author who wished to take my stories and sell them. I told him he was welcomed to do so as long as all the proceeds went to charities, shelters and orphanages. That shut him up pretty quickly. Though I do not doubt he will publish my work and get rich off of it.
I have just been told that I am expected to provide the entertainment this year for the New Year's party…So again I am uprooted from telling my stories and returned to Svarga. I had illusions incorporated in my stories. I told my tales using smoke to form images and special lighting to create the mood. Then I performed a traditional dance using dangerous weapons. Everyone found my performance very entertaining, but to me it felt empty. I wanted to share my talent with people who didn't know. I wanted to see those rare smiles from the people who have experienced more strife than happiness in their lives.
I continue telling stories in India. It's a very large place to cover. I traveled near the Ganga to tell my stories. Beside the river I told my story and suddenly there was a beautiful woman standing in the shade listening. I gave her a smile and she smiled back shyly. When everyone left I approached the young woman and asked if she was related to the Hindu goddess Ganga. She looked surprised when she nodded; telling me Ganga was her aunty. Then she began to tell me that she really enjoyed my story about Ganga and she was surprised that I knew so much about her aunty. But at that point she had already guessed who I was. We chatted for a bit more and I returned to tell stories near the river. And then one day the young lady just stopped showing up so I moved on.
I like to tell love stories around this time. I have resigned to the fact that I'll probably be staying in India for awhile before moving to a different country. When I think about moving from here, I guess you can say I get cold feet.
Again…I am ripped from my storytelling. My aunty, Aditi, asks me to help the Evay sisters…without really being there. So now I have gone from innocuous storyteller to equally innocuous stalker. Aditi says that if I stick around long enough a good story will pop up. Hm…what does Aditi know that's going to happen?
I'm still watching the Evay sisters. After the first week I had to give up at telling myself I wasn't a stalker because that is practically what I am. Following them every where, but they don't know because as long as I stay out of sight, Aditi blocks my presence.
HOLY CRAP! So that was what Aditi meant by me coming across a good story. The last demon attack, Teyani got injured. That night in secret, Dani called on her guardian. She made a deal with her guardian. In exchange for her soul, Byakko (her guardian) will stop the demons from reproducing and creating more of them. Since it is Dani's soul that will power this, every time Byakko prevents another demon from being created, it kills a piece of Dani's soul. I have no idea how this will affect her. I can expect it will be extremely painful. But to have her soul dying would mean she'd lose her identity. Does that mean she'd lose her memories too? Would she lose her personality and become indifferent? I don't know.
I watched over the Evay sisters for another month to make sure Dani will be okay. They after all are my students. I'm bonded to them through my teachings. The effects of Dani's deal do show straight on, but they are immediate. She'll be in the middle of a class when a part of her soul dies and she gasps and grits her teeth, telling the inquiring minds that it's just cramps. There is nothing more I can do for her. The corner gods are if anything, extremely stubborn and they take orders from no one without a cost.
With a troubled mind, I returned to telling stories. This time I traveled and told stories of the Evay sisters and how they came to be. Many thought it was purely imagination that I speak of them. Some who have heard my stories before tell me that they enjoy the Evay tale. But they do not believe in it because prior to now, it was never mentioned in legends. But I have a feeling that I will be the one to make them legends.
Aditi again bothers me. She has heard of me telling the Evay Sisters stories to the people and demands I blur their memories. She tells me that someone may be able to use the information I disclosed to defeat the Evay sisters. After much guilt tripping I erased the memories of the tales I told and back tracked to those villages to tell them another story to make up for the one I took away. I sent a pendant to Amrita Shanna. I knew Angelize would not accept a gift on his birthday.
The weather has been getting a bit chilly. I continue with spreading stories around India. But I think the time has come for me to move on. China has deep roots in Hinduism so the stories shouldn't be all that new to them. I will go there.
I am depressed with the way China progresses. By the time they become the strongest super power like they wish to be, their people would have died from the pollution their factories produce. Not to mention more than 50% of their population smokes. It seems that they are too busy seeking the newest knowledge to stop and listen to my stories. But I tell them anyways. In case there is that one person who is interested and my tale can touch them.
There still are undertones of communism in China. I have tried to use the internet and Google a few things, but as it turns out the Chinese government pays extra millions of dollars a year to Google to block certain sites from their browser so their people never knows what the government is up to. I decided to walk the Great Wall of China. If I try hard enough, I see the memories of each stone on that wall.
After my journey on the Great Wall, I have decided I will tell my stories in Europe. So I travel all over Europe to tell my stories. They listen and applaud and for some reason I feel no better than a monkey set to entertain. Do they really grasp the morals of my stories? Only those who know a little about Hindu culture have a basis of understanding for my stories. So far people already get confused with the names before the story line is even started.
I continue to make my way through Europe and tell stories. There are a few people I meet who seem genuinely interested in the tales I tell. They make my storytelling worthwhile.
As I continue on my travels, I seem to have acquired a following. A small group of people follow me from place to place. Like me, they are merely drifters. They say that they follow me because they want to hear all my stories. Some of them even ask if I can teach them to be storytellers. I do not know how you can teach someone to tell a story that comes from the heart. That would only be acting.
In some ways I feel like a hippie. Traveling with a bunch of other hippies. Of course I didn't always feel this way. Someone commented on us being good for nothing tree huggers who need to get a job. I think he was having a bad day and was just angry that we were blocking the walk way.
My group of people who follow me is growing larger and larger and I'm starting to think I need to disband them soon. All of traveling together poses as a problem. We take up too much space in one area. When I told this to them, they all said that they didn't want to disband. And I'm starting to feel like some kind of ruler over these people. They sure act like I am. This whole situation is starting to creep me out.
So I struck a deal with the group of people following me around. After July, they must stop following me around because I'm going to return home so I won't be telling stories anymore. Since I wouldn't be telling stories anymore, some of them asked if I could become their mentor, which I replied I couldn't because I was going to give up on storytelling all together (little lie to get them to leave me alone). This caused a huge ruckus. When they finally came to terms, there wasn't anything they could really do about it. So I spent the summer telling my stories with my erm…followers always there.
Finally they disbanded on July 30th. I quickly left back to India to continue telling stories.
Back in India and I have decided to stay near the Ganga and tell my stories. So people can come to me or stop and listen if they are merely passing by and hear something of interest. That worked well. Many people would come and listen to an afternoon story. Sometimes I would have requests and I was more than happy to tell the same story over again as long as it still got the desired reaction.
I was feeling a bit homesick, so I decided to return home for a bit. I spent some time with my parents and was invited to Amrita Shanna's 3rd birthday party. It was very intimate settings. Amrita Shanna is getting very big. I got her some Dr. Seuss books.
Thankfully Vishnu was banned from the kitchen around holidays. Especially around Thanksgiving. No one forgot the terror of turkey a few years back. Geeze, few years back doesn't seem so long ago, but it's been awhile.
I decided to stay in Svarga a little longer than I planned.
He did some acrobatic tricks and even some magic tricks. I could see Brahma snickering when Lakshmi came out as Vishnu's assistant. He even said that Vishnu should try to saw Lakshmi in half or tie her to a rotating board and throw knives at her. Scarily enough, Vishnu was going to do it, but Lakshmi quickly excused herself. To top it all off, Vishnu did some dance numbers and ended the entertainment for that night with a song.
So I leave Svarga only to be called back. I had to do some damage control. Seemingly it was pretty obvious that Indra has not been in Svarga. Surya took it as his opportunity to go riffling through Indra's things. And of course he finds out about Mahakali's past…again. Something to the effect of Surya calling Mahakali a whore in front of her daughter. As we all can guess that didn't go very well. From what I hear, after Mahakali had Virabhadra take her daughter away, she almost killed Surya. Virabhadra left Amrita Shanna with my mother and rushed back just in time to save Surya's life. He got stripped of his powers and banned from Svarga. I had to wipe his memories and blur Amrita Shanna's. So now Surya is a mortal walking the streets with no idea of who he is.
Rati's sister, Arani, who had been away for some time has been asked by the Trimuri to be the new Sun god…goddess in this case. She was reluctant to take the job, but Rati convinced her sister to do it. And I think Arani said something about always wanting to live in Surya's house. Although she's having the whole place stripped and redone. Arani is planning on hiring a designer to layout her new home, but Rati volunteered Mahakali to do it.


I have broad research interests in computer systems, including cloud computing, storage/file systems, operating systems and distributed systems. I am particularly interested in developing new ways of structuring computer systems to address technology changes and enable new applications. I am involved in many ongoing projects in such areas as data-intensive computing, distributed system diagnosis, cloud computing, home storage, and exploitation of new storage technologies.
We are exploring the many systems challenges hidden behind the hype surrounding cloud computing, such as elastic storage, resource allocation/scheduling, and automation (e.g., performance problem diagnosis). In addition, to gain first-hand experiences, we maintain and measure several deployed cloud resources with real users, in collaboration with industry partners.
DISC refers to the rapidly growing style of computing characterized by extraction of information from huge and often dynamically growing datasets. We are exploring new distributed storage and computing system designs for achieving robust, efficient data-intensive computing. We are particularly interested in new frameworks for supporting advanced machine learning on large data sets, shifting the work of coordinating parallel threads and data from the programmer without losing efficiency.
As Director of the Parallel Data Lab, I lead a number of storage-related projects in areas such as storage system architecture, survivable storage, file systems, storage security, and automated storage management. As one example, we are exploring how system software should change to accommodate new storage technologies like non-volatile RAM (e.g., PCM) and shingled magnetic recording (in disks). As another, we are exploring new approaches to sharing and access control in distributed home storage.


Mrs Thorpe came to haart Hucknall looking to sell her three-bedroom semi-detached house on Springfield Road, Hucknall. After completing a valuation on the property, we were confident that the property would sell well especially with the right marketing behind it.
Our unique marketing technology FLINK puts our properties in front of buyers other agents cannot reach. FLINK reaches a broader range of customers beyond the usual buyers who are actively looking for properties.
This lovely three-bedroom semi-detached property boasted a great garden, was a short walk from open Nottinghamshire fields and had a large fitted kitchen, a spacious lounge, three good sized rooms, an en-suite and it also had the added benefit of being in pristine condition.
This property had plenty of great features which stood out, such as the spacious garden which looked perfect for the summer and the large kitchen, cosy lounge and stunning decor. We wanted to utilise FLINK to show all these features to as many potential buyers as possible.
FLINK works by creating multiple ads, which appeals to different types of buyers, based on the characteristics and features of a property. The technology is achieving great results including quicker sales and properties being sold over the asking price.
A recent survey of UK homeowners showed two-thirds of people who are not actively looking to move would consider moving if they were presented with the perfect home for them. The buyers FLINK advertises to are not just buyers who are actively looking to buy a property, but also passive buyers waiting for the right property to catch their eye before thinking about moving. By using FLINK to target this audience, we are able to create much more exposure for properties.
We received a really great response for this property with almost 10,000 people seeing Mrs Thorpe's property, and of that, nearly 2,000 people went on to view it on the haart website. In total, the accumulated time for which the property was viewed on haart's website, was over 28 hours.
With the enormous exposure Mrs Thorpe's property received, we were able to book and carry out several viewings. This allowed us to sell her house quickly and exceed the asking price by £2,500. Mrs Thorpe was even kind enough to share how pleased she was with us "I didn't expect to get the value for the home that we did; we made £2,500 more than the asking price!"


A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. This method is also known as cameraless photography. My process leaves out the photographic paper and the chemicals. Cameraless photography can easily be accomplished by arranging objects, in this case leaves, on the top of a flat-bed scanner and exposing or capturing the image digitally.
Fig leaves dry to a light brown color but become a lovely silvery gray when rendered in black and white. Each leaf dries to a different, unique shape as its moisture evaporates. These images are printed on a "metallic" paper that enhances the silvery luminescence of the image.
The leaves below are from the Mule's Ear (Wyethia) a North American flowering plant in the sunflower family. The leaves are light sage green in color but become a silvery gray in black and white. These images are printed on a "metallic" paper that adds a luminous quality to the finished print.

Animal Naturals – Results in a Can!
I am really Pro on the Animal Natural Supplements, I have used dietary supplements on my dogs for years and I always felt good adding the supplements to my dogs RAW food, the dogs have been healthy and fit and worked hard, so in that regard I believe that the supplements were always working.
I did not ever though see any direct improvement or regression in my dogs visually, but given that these are not drugs, I thought the results may be too subtle to see.
My male German Shepherd lasted until he was 17 and I have a 14 year old female now that were raised on supplements, that has to stand testament to their nutrition in some way.
When I got my two Malinois puppies I decided it may be time to do some more research about diet, nutrition, supplements etc, and in my research the Animal Natural products kept appearing everywhere attached with awesome results. The products were not in Australia as yet but I was keen to try them.
I got some samples to trial on my dogs and some clients dogs and it was almost instantly obvious the improvements in all my dogs.
I feed them all RAW and the food I feed is human grade and very balanced, see these two blog posts on their feeding to see what I feed.
I knew what I was feeding them was very good but when I added the Animal Natural supplements, right before my eyes, over less than a week I could see differences.
I am going to give you two examples of my own personal experiences with my own dogs on two different supplements.
Kandy, GSD 14 years old.
Kandy had a stroke about a year and a bit ago; she is 14 years old and in her very senior years. After the stroke her recovery was slow and she lost her motivation to move, exercise etc. Her head was badly tilted and she had almost no ability to walk without falling over. She could not climb stairs (up or down) and her eyes were cloudy and sight had diminished quite badly.
She was still happy enough but I reserved myself to know that she wouldn't be long with us.
She was given exercise and we tried a lot of different things and although happy in herself, she would watch me train the pups from the back veranda and have no real interest.
I started her on Animal Naturals Young at Heart when I got the samples, by day three I went to get her from her crate in the morning and she was standing up waiting to go out, I let her out and she went outside to get a drink and toilet. This wasn't outstanding evidence but she didn't have to be coaxed to get up and helped outside as she would normally.
I watched her and she moved around the front yard, showed some interest in the goings on.
The next day I offered her some food to get onto the FitPAWS Peanut and see what she would do. Attempts in the past saw her baulk and go lay down, not be lured or tempted by the food in any way. She was on it and climbed up on the ball with her front legs to get it.
I supported her and helped her keep balance but she was gobbling the food and pushing herself.
I didn't run the session too long and let her out, where she proceeded up the driveway and to bark at a delivery driver. Lol, it had been a good 8 months since she would do this.
A couple of weeks went by and I was outside on a Sunday messing around with Venom, throwing the ball etc for him. Out of nowhere comes Kandy, pushing her way in to get the ball, telling Venom to get out of her way lol.
She of course could not match his speed but she was after him trying to get that ball.
Kandy is giving focus to win that ball!
I let her participate as long as she liked, I guessed this would be about 3 minutes, not so. She was on it for a good 15 minutes!
Understand that 3 weeks earlier she would spend her days in the office, have to be coaxed to go outside to the toilet even, had no will to exercise or do anything, and now is chasing a ball up and down our hill!
A week later Bec was down on the training field doing some work with Wisdom, Kandy sees this and decides that she would like to be trained, she takes herself down the hill and butts in on Wisdom's training and starts to offer the heel position and expect to be rewarded, all the while she is pushing Wisdom out of the way for prime position.
You have to have seen her before, she had all but lost the will to live, struggled to walk on flat ground, fell over a lot, had a severe head tilt, clouded over eyes and almost blind.
The above changes happened all within 4- 5 weeks! Now I am absolutely certain that the Young at Heart is making use of the good nutrition she is being fed, it has improved her coat condition, mobility, metabolism, motivation and quality of life.
These improvements make it easier for her to move around and hence mean she is likely to get more exercise, stimulation etc. Her eyes are now clear; she can see and is improving a little each day.
She still has a very slight palsy on the left side of her face, her head tilt varies from almost none to slight and she isn't 100% stable on her feet, but wow is she a lot better!
This photo was taken mid October, after 8 weeks on the Young at Heart.
I was going to write this on Venom, but I will be writing an update soon so I will save his results until then.
Wisdom is a very high drive young Malinois female that always was and still is, very fast and agile.
I started her on the Super Fuel not to achieve anything but to keep doing the right thing nutritionally but with this brand. I thought as long as there was no fall off of performance or condition, I would have been happy.
To keep a long story short, the Super Fuel is given in her daily meal and also a small dose after strenuous work, on say a treadmill, fit ball or drive work.
When they are finished working the Mals go into the crate, they are both given Super Fuel with water for recovery.
You can go get her from the crate after 15 to 20 minutes and you have a new dog, full of go and ready for another long (1 hour) workout again. In fact on the second workout, you can see no difference in energy, power or endurance than the first!
Her speed and power are outstanding and to feel her on the tug you would swear she was a dog of upward of 40 kilos.
I did mention that you can see? results in all the products, you can see how great Kandy looks now and take a look at this picture of Wisdom.
Look at her muscle tone and definition!
The Animal Natural Products (link) have really impressed me, after being around dogs all my life and having tried many hundreds of things, I have yet to see a blend of Natural Ingredients to give results at these levels in such a short time span.
Our litters will be raised on Puppy Gold and our dogs kept in shape with Super Fuel and Show Stopper as needed.
If you have used these supplements or are thinking about trying them feel free to ask questions or share your experiences!
Just leave your comments below.
Next K9 Pro Superstars take out Highest in Trial!
My finnish lapphund puppy, Veikko started on the Show Stopper supplement a couple of months ago – Steve had a spare sample pack and gave it to us to try. Supplements in the past had always turned Veikko off her food or not seemed to have made any difference to her at all. A week after we started on the show stopper, Veikko's coat was bigger, denser and harsher than it had been in the past.
As she is a show dog, she is bathed every couple of weeks to "set" the coat for the show ring. A side effect of this is that her coat had become quite soft and she was needing product put into her coat post-bath to bring it back to the correct coat texture. Since she has been on show stopper, she doesn't need a bath as often and the coat doesn't go as soft as it had in the past. Her coat is also a deep black without any hint of red and it's thick and healthy looking. Fantastic for a show dog!
Lovely to see Kandy doing so well. Shows what a difference the right supplements can make.
It does vary by dog and which supplement, but by buying in the Large Tub, your looking around 0.50cents a day.
How economical are these products?
How much do you go through a day, or does it vary by dog?

FACEBOOK is now letting you check whether you're addicted to its social network, after introducing a new dashboard that clocks how much time smartphone users spend on average on its app each day.
The new "Your Time on Facebook" tool also lets users set limits on how much time they can spend on the site, with Facebook sending reminders to them to take a break once their chosen limits have passed.

Facebook first announced the "Your Time on Facebook" feature in August, when it announced that a similar time-management feature would also be made available for Instagram.
Instagram's version of the feature started rolling out last week, and now Facebook has begun introducing its own version for its smartphone app users worldwide, although some regions and users may not see it immediately.
It shows you a weekly average for the amount of time you spend on the social network each day, while it also shows time spent for each specific day of the week, enabling you to see whether your Saturday usage, for instance, is too high.
Added to this, it lets you choose to have a daily reminder sent to you after a certain amount of time, something which could encourage users to log off and do something else.

"We developed these tools based on collaboration and inspiration from leading mental health experts and organizations, academics, our own extensive research and feedback from our community," explained Facebook's Ameet Ranadive and David Ginsberg in the August blog post that initially revealed the feature.
"Our hope is that these tools give people more control over the time they spend on our platforms and also foster conversations between parents and teens about the online habits that are right for them."
The new feature comes amid growing criticism that Facebook and social media in general has a negative effect on mental health, with Apple and Google introducing similar tools within their own products and ecosystems.

However, in contrast to the offerings from its rivals, Facebook's new feature won't perhaps be as effective or as powerful.
For example, Google's new Digital Wellbeing tool (which can be found on the Pixel 3 and on the new Android Pie operating system) actually locks apps after daily time limits have expired, whereas Facebook's merely sends a reminder that can be ignored.
Also, the new feature will be available only on the smartphone app version of Facebook, and not on the desktop version, meaning that users could simply jump to their computers after receiving their daily reminder.

Ever wonder if there's a point to it all? The Great Hope puts everything in perspective, showing how God's love guided history and shaped the world we live in. First written in the late 1800s, the book has been reprinted hundreds of times. The Great Hope follows the history of Christianity from its birth to the Great Disappointment of 1844, ending with a look at what the Bible says about end of the world . . . and what that means for us today.


Electronic finding aid was encoded in EAD 2002 by Janine Veazue in February 2016. Description is in English.
The Jewish National Fund records reflect the non-profit organization's afforestation efforts in Israel in funding partnership with Hadassah. Included in this collection are personnel records, membership lists, and convention summaries, as well as correspondence, project documentation, and publications such as press releases, and magazines.
The Jewish National Fund (also known as Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael) (JNF-KKL) is a fundraising organization founded in 1901 by Theodor Herzl to secure ownership of land in Palestine for the Jewish people from the Ottoman Empire. The Jewish National Fund's original goal with this reclaimed land was to create collective worker's communities that could sustain themselves through agricultural means, even in the most desolate and inhospitable parts of the country. As the Jewish National Fund's funding grew, so did their involvement in other facets of cultural improvement, such as creating major city structures, financing the expenses of Jewish scientists, and founding institutions of higher education. By partnering with Hadassah in the 1920s, both groups were able to provide additional services.
Over the years [1930s-2000s], the collaborative efforts between the Jewish National Fund and Hadassah evolved accordingly. Initiatives were created to assist displaced persons of war, to provide respite for children affected by war in the form of summer camps, to improve water conservation efforts through the creation of dams and artificial bodies of water, and to continue to create forests.
This record group reflects the association of Hadassah with the Jewish National Fund. It contains correspondence, memoranda, project files, and publications from the 1930s to the 2000s.
Series I contains various administrative records such as member lists, constitutions, by-laws, as well as items relating to institutional accounting and fundraising. Although the record group contains correspondence throughout, the contents of Series II were originally organized to contain solely correspondence. Series III outlines several prominent collaborative projects between Hadassah and the Jewish National Fund. Series IV consists of various magazines and newsletters published by the Jewish National Fund, including the JNF Handbook and Land and Life.
The records of the Jewish National Fund are arranged in four series by category. Due to the small size of this collection, the use of subseries has been waived in favor of detailed folder-level descriptions.
Several photographs have been removed from this collection and into RG18. Several folders of documents have been removed from this collection and reorganized into other collections. Pamphlets have been transferred to RG 17 in 1997; several essays have been transferred to the Subject Folder and the Library. Locations of these photographs and documents are listed in their corresponding series notes.
Identification of item, date (if known); Jewish National Fund Records in the Hadassah Archives; RG 9; box number; folder number; American Jewish Historical Society, New York, NY.
The Hadassah Archives, of which the Jewish National Fund Records (RG 9) are a part, are on long-term deposit at the American Jewish Historical Society.
Since the 1920s, Hadassah has funded five distinct projects in Palestine/Israel. This record group, originally named RG 9—Other Projects, now contains only the records of the project of Hadassah's involvement with the Jewish National Fund, and was accordingly renamed in 2016.
There was no previous finding aid created for these records, but description from two container lists was reused and incorporated into the 2016 finding aid. Some series description along with collection-level notes pertaining to acquisition, processing, access and use, and related material were added as well. Overall, the boxes were consolidated to save space and reduce damage to the material. Some boxes were replaced and nonarchival folders were also replaced.
Although the original box labels reflect a simple, streamlined organization for this record group, the folders within were not as clear, and in places did not accurately reflect their contents at all. In the case of the original folder titled Material regarding Hadassah's financial support, the documents represented two very different administrative components. They were separated for usability and now reside in the folders Administrative Materials—Personnel—Ussushkin, Menachem, 1938-1940 and Projects—Emergency land restrictions, 1939-1940.
Many of the folders also contain abbreviations such as AC (Accounting), AD (Administration), and PO (Programs). These abbreviations are consistent across other Hadassah collections and were used as the backbone for this collection's current organization to better illustrate the breadth of materials within. Any original label abbreviations are included in the concordance.
Folders have been renamed only when original titles were minimal or did not accurately represent the contents within. Pertinent original folder notation has been included in folder-level scope notes.
As of March 2016, additional files were added from the papers of D. Kaplan. A list of the relevant folders are listed in the concordance.
Documents in this series reflect administrative functions of the Jewish National Fund in relation to Hadassah. Folders originally labeled with the following categories were combined to form this series: AC (Accounting), AD (Administration), AS (Assembly), ME (Membership), and PE (Personnel).
This series is arranged alphabetically by category. Documents within each folder retain original order, which were arranged, for the most part, chronologically.
This series consists of several administrative categories used by the original Hadassah filing system. Document types include financial statements, memoranda by board members, minutes of various committee meetings, and summaries of national conferences, among others.
From the papers of Claire Baer.
Previously part of the Rose Goldman papers.
Consists of handwritten notes and drafts of changes.
Excerpts from the minutes of the National Board Meeting relating to the Jewish National Fund.
Features a speech by Elias Epstein to the Jewish National Fund convention.
Includes typed lyrics of the communal song Hadassah, the JNF, and Me.
Contains a presentation by Dora Inselbuch.
Nomination for the Defender of Jerusalem Award.
Although correspondence exists elsewhere in this collection, these folders in particular were labeled as such. Original folder titles were maintained with some alterations for improved usability.
This series is entirely comprised of correspondence between both Hadassah and Jewish National Fund board members and Executives in the Hadassah/Jewish National Fund administration.
Correspondents Ethel Agronsky, Judith Epstein, Rose Halprin, Bertha Schoolman, Julius Simon, and Tamar de Sola Pool are included.
Topics discussed include the Henrietta Szold Grove on Mount Scopus, the Green Belt/ Hadassah Parkway, and the Hanita colony.
Correspondents include Mendel Fisher, Walter Gross, Doris Inselbuch, Jesse Lurie, Dr. Judah Magnes, and Morris Rothenberg.
Correspondents include Elias Epstein, Mendel Fisher, Dr. Abraham Granovsky, and Dora Inselbuch.
Correspondents include Maurice Boukstein, Elias Epstein, Judith Epstein, Anna Tulin, and Zvi Weinberg.
Projects are arranged alphabetically by type of project or project name.
Items in this series reflect the varied collaborations of the Jewish National Fund and Hadassah from the 1920s until the 2000s.
Includes one undated, black-and-white photograph of three women standing atop stone stairs.
Folder also contains documents and correspondence relating to projects at Tefen.
Folder also contains documents and correspondence relating to the Sarah Kussey Forest.
Project is also referred to as the Ingrid Bergman Children's Forest.
Project is also referred to as the Martyrs' Forest/Forest of the 6 Million.
Includes two undated, black and white photographs: Yeshiel Leket and Shlomo Gravetz.
Grove projects include the Rachel Kossow forest and the Memorial Grove of Helen Feinbloom.
Original folder label indicates that a related photograph was removed and placed in RG 18/photos/JNF/signs.
Projects include Nachlat Hadassah, Ten Trees Program, Arava valley, Hevel Hadassah, and Golan Heights.
This folder contains documents pertaining to several projects including the Arava valley, Jewish National Fund's Blue Box campaign, and the International Women's Forest. Other documents pertain to Jewish National Fund officer business, including nominations and appointments.
Includes pamphlets advertising several Jewish National Fund/Hadassah projects.
Includes a hand-colored folding map titled Work Villages in the Galilee. Map illustrates the locations of work villages, existing Jewish settlements, highways, and international boundaries.
Items are organized alphabetically by item subject or title (when known).
This series consists of pamphlets, announcements, press releases, articles, short essays, and newsletters relating to the various activities of the Jewish National Fund and Hadassah.
1987 volume contains only cover and pages 2, 15, and 16.


This dissertation makes a contribution to regional studies by constructing Multi-Factor Productivity (MFP) growth measures at the state level for the US. The first essay of the dissertation exploits a dual growth accounting technique to calculate sector-specific MFP growth for all US states from 1980 onwards. In the process, the essay contributes by constructing a data set on the state level real user cost of capital paying particular attention to inter-state variations in the composition of output, relative prices of investment goods, effective corporate taxes, and inflation rates for the manufacturing and service sectors. Some of the key implications of our analysis are: a) The contribution of MFP growth in driving labor productivity is higher in the manufacturing sector compared to the service sector; b) The source of divergence between the primal and dual measures of MFP growth originates from inconsistencies between the constructed real user cost and the implied real user cost of Bureau of Economic Analysis; c) The real user cost for the service sector demonstrates negative growth rate resulting from a rapid decline in the relative price ratio of investment goods providing support for "Investment Specific Technological Change" and also implying high rates of capital accumulation; d) The average growth in the real user cost of capital is non-zero and shows wide variability across states for both the sectors. The primary focus of the second essay is to capture the positive impacts of schooling and Research and Development (R&D) expenditure on MFP growth for US states. While the evidence for positive externalities from schooling has been disappointing in the regional literature, the evidence of externalities from R&D is seldom found at the state level in US. The essay argues that a state with higher level of education not only creates better ideas, but also is more favorable to adopt, implement and execute the newly available ideas and hence, to absorb the knowledge spillovers. Further, it is argued that the states with favorable R&D policies attract more efficient firms and hence, experience higher MFP growth. To achieve this, the essay extends the dual accounting exercise to construct MFP growth measures for the non-farm, non-mining, private sector for all US states and successfully establishes the superiority of the dual measures. The empirical exercise documents significant positive externalities from schooling and R&D only after controlling the "catch-up" effect where poor states converge towards the rich states and attributes an important role to schooling and R&D in speeding up this process.

Q: $f(x_1,y_1)=f(x_2,y_2)\iff x_1=x_2\quad,\quad y_1=y_2$ I came upon a question and I'm stuck on solving it.

Does there exist any continuous function $f:\Bbb R^2\to \Bbb R$ such that $$f(x_1,y_1)=f(x_2,y_2)\iff x_1=x_2\quad,\quad y_1=y_2$$?
What if we drop the continuity constraint? (though, the function is better be well-defined)

Originally, this question comes from a physical background. If two inertial frames measure the 4-tuples $(\Delta x,\Delta y,\Delta z,\Delta t)$ and $(\Delta x',\Delta y',\Delta z',\Delta t')$, we have $$\begin{cases}\Delta x^2+\Delta y^2+\Delta z^2-c^2\Delta t^2=\Delta x'^2+\Delta y'^2+\Delta z'^2-c^2\Delta t'^2
&,\quad\text{Special Relativity}\\
\Delta x^2+\Delta y^2+\Delta z^2=\Delta x'^2+\Delta y'^2+\Delta z'^2\\\text{and}
\\\Delta t=\Delta t'
&,\quad\text{Classical Physics}
\end{cases}$$
I am OK with special relativity, but about the the second equivalence, I wonder if a function $f$ is found such that $$f(\Delta x^2+\Delta y^2+\Delta z^2,c^2\Delta t^2)=f(\Delta x'^2+\Delta y'^2+\Delta z'^2,c^2\Delta t'^2)\\\iff \\
\Delta x^2+\Delta y^2+\Delta z^2=\Delta x'^2+\Delta y'^2+\Delta z'^2\\\text{and}
\\\Delta t=\Delta t'
$$

A: For $f$ continuous, let $f(a,b)>f(c,d)>f(e,g)$.
Choose any path from $(a,b)$ to $(e,g)$ avoiding $(c,d)$. The image of this path is a path which must include all points between $f(a,b)$ to $f(e,g)$.
Thus there is another point with the same image as $(c,d)$.

A neat (?) function $f$ if the continuity constraint is dropped.

For $x\in \Bbb R$ define $a(x)=\frac{e^x}{2e^x+1}$.
For $x\in \Bbb Q$ define $b(x)=0.5+\frac{x}{\sqrt 5}$. For $x\in \Bbb R- \Bbb Q$ define $b(x)=x$.
Using the continued fraction form for irrational numbers in $(0,1)$, define $c([0;x_1,x_2,...],[0;y_1,y_2,...])=[0;x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2,...]$.
We can then define the function $f$ from $\Bbb R^2\to \Bbb R$ by
$$f(x,y)=c(ba(x),ba(y)).$$

Le Pioneer 6, 7, 8 e 9 erano delle sonde spaziali appartenenti al Programma Pioneer. Insieme formavano una serie di satelliti orbitanti attorno al Sole, alimentati da batterie e celle solari, disegnata per ottenere continue misurazioni alla base dei fenomeni interplanetari da punti largamente distanti nello spazio. Erano anche conosciute come Pioneer A, B, C e D. La quinta (Pioneer E) è stata persa in un incidente durante il lancio.

Le Pioneer 6-9 sono alcune delle meno costose di tutte le sonde della NASA, in termini di risultati scientifici per ogni dollaro speso. Al 1996 la Pioneer 6 era il più vecchio satellite operativo della NASA, dopo essere stato in orbita per più di 30 anni.

Scopo
Le Pioneer 6, 7, 8 e 9 sono state create per ottenere le prime dettagliate misurazioni globali del vento solare, del campo magnetico solare e dei raggi cosmici. Sono state disegnate per misurare su larga scala i fenomeni magnetici e le particelle e i campi nello spazio interplanetario. I dati ottenuti sono stati poi utilizzati per comprendere meglio i processi stellari e la struttura e il flusso del vento solare. I veicoli hanno operato anche come la prima rete meteorologica solare basata nello spazio al mondo, ottenendo dati pratici sulle tempeste solari che incidono sulle comunicazioni e sulle energie terrestri.

Gli esperimenti hanno studiato gli ioni positivi (cationi) e gli elettroni del vento solare, la densità elettronica interplanetaria (esperimento di propagazione radio), i raggi cosmici solari e galattici e il campo magnetico interplanetario.

Descrizione dei veicoli
Ogni sonda era identica alle altre, con una massa in orbita di 146 kg (a secco). Erano dei cilindri con diametro di 0,94 m e alti 0,81 m, con un magnetometro montato su un braccio lungo 1.8 m e pannelli solari montati attorno al corpo.

L'antenna principale era un'antenna direzionale ad alto guadagno. La sonda era stabilizzata ad una rotazione di 1 Hz ca., e l'asse era perpendicolare al piano dell'eclittica e puntata verso il polo eclittico sud.

Strumenti trasportati:

Comunicazioni
Dal controllo a terra, potevano essere selezionate una delle cinque velocità di trasmissione, uno dei quattro formati di dati e una delle quattro modalità operative. Le cinque velocità di trasmissione erano 512, 256, 64, 16 e 8 bit/s. Tre dei quattro formati di dati contenevano principalmente dati scientifici e consistevano in 32 parole a 7 bit per file. Il primo era da usare con le due velocità di trasmissione più elevate, mentre il secondo con le tre velocità di trasmissione più basse. Il terzo conteneva dati ottenuti solo dall'esperimento di propagazione radio e il quarto formato principalmente dati d'ingegneria.

Le quattro modalità operative erano: in tempo reale, deposito telemetria, deposito cicli forzati e in lettura della memoria. Nella modalità in tempo reale, i dati venivano campionati e trasmessi direttamente (senza archiviazione) come specificato dal formato file e dalla velocità di trasmissione selezionata. Nella modalità di deposito telemetria i dati venivano archiviati e trasmessi simultaneamente nel formato e nella velocità di trasmissione selezionate. Nella modalità deposito cicli forzati una singola struttura di dati scientifici veniva raccolta ed archiviata ad una velocità di 512 bit/s. L'intervallo di tempo che intercorreva tra il raccoglimento e l'archiviazione delle successive strutture poteva essere variato dal controllo a Terra da 2 a 17 minuti per provvedere ad una parziale copertura dati in periodi fino a 19 ore, limitati dalla capacità di archiviazione. Nella modalità di lettura della memoria i dati venivano letti ad una qualsiasi velocità di trasmissione, a seconda della distanza del satellite dalla Terra.

A country western singer who calls the Tri-State home faces a possible federal prison sentence.David Allen Coe, 76, of Cincinnati, pleaded guilty to one count of impeding and obstructing the due administration of the internal revenue laws.Authorities said Coe faces a maximum of three years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.Related: Stars who served time behind barsCarter M. Stewart, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Ohio; Kathy A. Enstrom, special agent in charge, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Cincinnati Field Office; announced the guilty plea Monday.Coe was a national recording artist in the country music industry, known for writing "Take This Job And Shove It."Officials said Coe performed at least 100 concerts yearly throughout the United States in which he earned income from 2008 through 2013.Authorities said during this same time period, Coe either failed to file his individual income tax returns with the IRS or, when Coe did file his individual income tax returns with the IRS, he failed to pay the taxes due and owing. In addition, during this same time period, Coe also owed money to the IRS for prior years of taxes due and owing. Instead of paying his taxes in full, Coe spent the money earned from performing concerts on other debts and gambling.Investigators said as part of his entertainer contract, when a concert was booked, Coe required that the total concert fee be deposited upfront. The deposit was either paid by wire or by check made payable to the booking manager's account. The booking manager took his fee out of the deposit and then wired the remaining amount directly to Coe or to Coe's road manager's business account.Authorities said in May 2009, Coe stopped receiving these payments by wire into his personal bank account after receiving correspondence from the IRS as to his current outstanding tax liabilities.Officials said that action prevented the IRS from levying his bank account to pay his income taxes. The remaining balance of the concert fee was to be paid in cash only, by 3 p.m. on the day of the concert, with no $50 bills allowed, as Coe believed they were bad luck and would not gamble with them.Authorities said Coe's road manager picked up the cash, which he used to pay himself and the other band members, and then provided the remaining cash to Coe, either in person or through MoneyGram or Western Union. Additionally, Coe would sometimes receive cash bonuses from playing concerts. Coe's arrangement to be paid primarily in cash was also in an effort to impede the ability of the IRS to collect on the taxes owed.Investigators said despite earning income from his concerts, Coe willfully failed to pay the income taxes due and owing when he filed his 2009, 2011 and 2013 individual income tax returns. As a result, Coe now owes the IRS $388,190.94 for the 2009 income tax year, $35,640.10 for the 2011 income tax year and $42,733.82 for the 2013 income tax year, which includes the income taxes owed plus interest and penalties.Officials said Coe also owes restitution to the IRS for the taxes due and owing as a result of his 2008 and 2010 tax returns, which said amount will be determined at the time of sentencing."All taxpayers, regardless of their profession, must comply with their federal tax obligations," said Enstrom. "As is evident from Mr. Coe's guilty plea, schemes to evade the payment of taxes are a violation of the Federal Tax laws and postpones the eventual need to comply at an even higher cost, including federal criminal prosecution and having to pay back taxes with interest and steep penalties."

This is an adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story. In this adaptation, Max has trouble getting the attention he demands at home. After throwing a fit he runs away and travels a distance to an island where the Wild Things live. After spending some time there and growing up a bit (emotionally) he realizes he needs to return home, and is ready to better contribute to his family life.
This was an OK show, with potential to be really good. For a kids show, the tone was rather depressing throughout, even the music did nothing to brighten up the film. The colors through out were a drab gray and brown, maybe a little too artsy for its good. The 5 year old behavior in an older kid was a little annoying. The Wild Things were not as wild as I thought they should be, no gnashing teeth or too terrible roars. I guess it is a children's story and can't afford to get too out of hand. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this one. Save your self 96 minutes and read the book again.
What a lonely life Max led! The movie did a decent job showing that the mom loved her son, but it was kind of odd she didn't mention anything about calling the police or running out after him searching for hours in the rainy night. I liked the ending in the book a whole lot better, where Max never actually leaves his room, but when he "returns" he finds his dinner waiting for him and it's still hot.
There is a lot of trying to "fit in." Max tries to fit in with his sister's friends; Carol tries to fit in with Judith and the other Wild Things; both end up stumbling over their lack of self-control and social skills.
Max really gets a good look at his own life when he becomes the person responsible for making all the Wild Things happy (the role he thought his mother owned back home). He realizes that it's no party being in charge, that life is tough for everyone all around and you've just got to carry on. The strongest message I found in the film was in seeing Max realize that stepping outside of himself really helped him put his behavior in perspective; he began to understand that he was not the only person in the world, and that others deserve happiness as well, to which he needed to learn to contribute.
It was kind of cool how they mapped a lot of Max's, Claire's, and the Mom's personalities in the different Wild Things. Obviously the place wasn't real and was more a figment of Max's imagination, but I think they did a good job representing his imaginative journey.
