Reply to Christensen and Christensen and to Malter: Pitfalls of erroneous analyses of hurricanes names
Female hurricanes are deadlier than male hurricanes
Figures & SI
Jung et al. (1) claim to show that "feminine-named hurricanes cause significantly more deaths than do masculine-named hurricanes" (p. 1). This conclusion is mainly obtained by analyzing data on fatalities caused by hurricanes in the United States (1950–2012). By reanalyzing the same data, we show that the conclusion is based on biased presentation and invalid statistics.
The reasoning in ref. 1 is fundamentally based on the regression models reported in their table S2, in particular, model 4. However, due to the interaction terms combined with extreme values and weak significance, the analysis is based on a very fragile model; e.g., the model predicts almost 20,000 deaths for hurricane Sandy, which actually caused 159 fatalities. Their figure 1 and the discussion on p. 5, first paragraph, are not based on model 4, but on a model using normalized damage factors in two categories. For this model, for which only β-coefficients are reported, we want to remark that neither the masculinity-femininity index (MFI) variable nor the interaction terms are significant, and the one for low normalized damage and MFI is only weakly significant (P = 0.07). (We want to remark that in the paper, the parameter β3 is reported with a wrong sign, and therefore the prediction results are also not correct, although the impact is not too significant.)
Now, we explain our claim that the results are presented in a biased way. By holding the minimum pressure at its mean in prediction of counts of deaths, the authors only report the influence of MFI and normalized damage (figure 1 in ref. 1). This ignores the influence of the second interaction term MFI minimum pressure, which shows an opposite influence (see the estimated parameters on p. 5, first paragraph). By considering the counts of deaths under constant normalized damage, the results are contrary: male-named hurricanes with a low minimum pressure (strong hurricanes) are associated with more deaths than female ones (Fig. 1).
Predicted fatality counts. Hurricanes with low MFI (vs. high MFI) are masculine-named (vs. feminine-named). Predicted counts of deaths were estimated separately for each value of MFI of hurricanes, holding the normalized damage at its mean.
In the light of an alternating male-female naming system started in 1979, the authors claim that similar results can be obtained by only considering the data after 1979 (model 4; P = 0.073). However, when reanalyzing the model described on p. 5 for these years, no effect can be observed at all: neither MFI nor the interaction terms are significant on a 10% level. The results show nearly no effect for hurricanes names. The same holds when using all years, but excluding the extreme values for the four hurricanes ≥100 deaths (three before 1979, thus automatically female named; Table 1). A Mann–Whitney test shows for both subsamples—and also for the whole sample—no significant differences between male- or female-named hurricanes for deaths, minimum pressure, category, and damages.
Predicted fatality counts for alternative data selections
To conclude, the analyses given in ref. 1 are examples of the fact that prediction models using interaction terms have to be handled and interpreted carefully; in particular, using insignificant variables is not expedient and may lead to statistical artifacts.
To summarize, the data do not contain evidence that feminine-named hurricanes cause more deaths than masculine-named hurricanes.

On June 19, 2012, the owner of a 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle contacted the Fort Worth Texas Police Department to report that her motorcycle was stolen from an apartment complex in Fort Worth.
Fort Worth Police verified the theft and entered the motorcycle information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle.
A short while later, officers from Arlington Police Dept picked up the silent LoJack homing signals from the stolen motorcycle on the Police Tracking Computers installed in their patrol vehicles. Following the directional and audible cues from the LoJack computers, the officers tracked the motorcycle to a house, where they observed it parked behind a Lincoln Navigator in the driveway. The license plate was missing from the motorcycle. Officers made contact with the owner of the house. She stated that she had no idea that a stolen motorcycle was at her house. She did state that the Lincoln Navigator, parked behind the stolen motorcycle, was hers. Officers searched the backyard and found 2 stolen jet skis sitting on a trailer. They had been stolen since 1996.
This stolen Harley Davidson motorcycle's ignition was damaged. This is an ongoing investigation with arrest warrants pending. .
The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle in February of 2011 by Fort Worth Harley Davidson.

On a recent Called to Coach we spoke with Gallup-certified Strengths Coach, Rajendra Dhandhukia.
Rajendra has over 34 years of experience in leadership roles at sales and marketing companies, mostly in the pharmaceutical industry of India.
Rajendra first took the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment in 2011, but he didn't really study his strengths until 2012. He discovered that while each strength has a balcony, it also has a corresponding basement. Rajendra's goal was to stay in each of his strengths' balconies and to help his team members do the same.
Before he could do that, however, Rajendra had to persuade the other leaders in his company that a strengths-based development approach would not only increase employee engagement, but also improve the bottom line for the entire organization. Rajendra believed that there was a culturally-based aversion to using strengths to drive engagement and productivity. To overcome that barrier, he demonstrated how strengths can help a manager understand his team members on a deeper level. Rajendra gave each of the managers in the company a Team Strengths Grid of their team members' strengths so they could visualize individual and team strengths. The other managers appreciated these grids because it helped them understand how to leverage their team's strengths to increase productivity.
After convincing the leaders in his company of the benefits of strengths-based development, Rajendra and his colleagues cascaded strengths down to frontline managers and team members. They embedded coaches in the organization to conduct one-on-one coaching sessions, and offered education opportunities so employees could learn about their strengths. All of these initiatives translated into a more successful organization from the top down.
To hear more about Rajendra and his coaching experiences and expertise, watch the video above.
Rajendra Dhandhukia is currently Chief Operating Officer, Abbott Truecare Pharma Pvt. Ltd. Armed with over 30 years of experience in the Indian Pharma Industry in leadership positions across Sales and Marketing, Strategic Planning and Operations. Delivered business objectives, managing and growing large brands, identified new opportunities to drive growth and strategize business operations.
Rajendra's top five strengths: Responsibility | Relator | Activator | Developer | Self-Assurance.

Keeping the Fun Going After Dark in Texas with Structura's Aura
Deep in the (southeast) heart of Texas…you'll find one of Houston's most innovative master-planned communities: Woodforest, developed by Johnson Development Corporation (JDC). And deep in the heart of Woodforest, you'll find Kingsley Park.
Developed "on the edge of the Woodforest's village center/commercial district, Kingsley's tighter lot density, front porches and sidewalks give it a more traditional feel than other neighborhoods in Woodforest, like that of an older neighborhood in the city," says Jonathan McMillian, ASLA, President of LANDology and a Landscape Architect to boot.
That's why, when McMillian and his team were retained by the JDC to help create an outdoor gathering place/park with a tight sense of community for the Kingsley Park residents, he knew just what he was after. "We wanted to provide for various sized groups of people to feel comfortable in the space simultaneously. Flanking all sides of a long central harvest table are separate sub-spaces for an outdoor kitchen, tall tables with bar stools, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs," says McMillian. Other featured spaces include the community's mailboxes and a bean bag toss area adjacent to a central multi-use open lawn.
From the beginning, McMillian noted, his team sensed the importance of extending the daytime usage of this fun, relaxed park space to take advantage of the cooler, Texas evening hours. And what do you need to accomplish that? Fun, relaxed lighting to go along with your space.
And who does fun, relaxed – yet elegant outdoor lighting better than anyone? Enter: Structura from Kansas City.
And when you visit Kingsley Park after the sun goes down, be prepared to chill. The lighting creates an open ceiling to provide, as McMillian describes, a degree of psychological comfort to visitors. He says Structura's Aura wood pendant luminaires were the perfect fit for Kingsley Park for a number of reasons:
They offer even light distribution with a clean, contemporary look.
They withstand outdoor, wet environments.
Despite their upscale appearance, these circular wooden Auras are "quite comfortable and surprisingly fun in this forest environment."
LANDology specified six Aura luminaires in three sizes, then suspended them among strings of bistro lights as featured elements marking key use areas. A composition of three Auras together mark the center of the space above the custom harvest table.
The LANDology team has earned a reputation for unique and interesting community development and park design, that sometimes leads them to projects – like Kingsley Park – with atypical programs or site conditions, which they embrace. Lucky for them, Structura, with their integrated team of engineers, designers and big thinkers – is also used to working on projects that require outside the box thinking. "The trend in outdoor lighting is toward using unique, natural elements in interesting ways," said Derek Seitz, Chief Executive Officer at Structura. "We're good at that – and we make everything right here in Kansas City, so our process is very turnkey once we're engaged in a project."
The six Aura luminaires at Kingsley Park are made from Accoya™, one of the world's most durable exterior products – and they're backed with an industry-leading 25-year warranty. As with all of Structura's American made, sustainable products, the Aura is designed to be a scenic and yet unobtrusive addition to the Kingsley Park project.
Enthusiasm for the urban-inspired Kingsley Park continues to grow, and McMillian says it has quickly become a favorite among local residents. And, as testament to how much the folks at LANDology enjoyed working on the cozy outdoor-feels-indoor living space: the team is "planning an office picnic there soon so everyone will have the opportunity to experience the park as it transitions from daylight to night light."

Dmuse fonts
From CCARH Wiki
There are two sources for music fonts. The source directory /usr/local/apps/disp/fonts is used by the Dmuse resident utility "Display MuseData file(s) under the Graphics tab at the top of the screen. This application is not used very much, and is out-of-date. The source used for the zbex display engine is in /usr/local/apps/musprint/new; in the sub-libraries mfonts (music glyphs), beams (beam glyphs), ties, misc (wedges, brackets, extended fonts, etc.), and tms (times-roman characters).
There are three programs we run to compile these fonts into useful files. They are in /usr/local/apps/zprogs/apps.
(1) newloadx.z This program loads fonts into the Laser-Jet printer
(2) newmkfxx.z This program compiles the fonts into a binary file, newscrxx.fnt (same library), which is used by the display programs to construct the screen display.
(3) mkpostf.z This program builds a giant file of postscript dictionaries, one for each of the fonts. The dictionaries are stripped off and used as needed by the pspage.z program (compiles display output to a .ps file). The output of mkpostf.z is postdict, in the same library.
If you look inside a typical "font" file, you will see a top line with 13 numbers (fonthead), followed by a set of glyph descriptions, each starting with a parameter line (#) with six numbers (glyphead). The design of this data format dates back to the time when these files were used to load fonts into the LaserJet. The parameters are PLC-3 parameters. You can find a description of them in the two files in /usr/local/apps/musprint/fonts/doc.
The glyphs, themselves, are bitmaps. The "x" character is used to represent 1's (black) and blanks represent 0's. Other characters such as '.' are equivalent to 0's but are used to display in the font where staff lines are supposed to align. When positioning a glyph, there are two important numbers: (1) number of dots above the baseline, and (2) number of dots of empty space to the left of the glyph. In the case of text characters, the horizontal increment of the "cursor" after display is also important.
In the case of music glyphs, we also have to deal with a pre-process vertical shift. This also dates back to the early LaserJets. The file containing these numbers (measured in scale steps) is /usr/local/apps/musprint/new/mfonts/pos3.
Another thing: the MuseData format specifies text fonts starting with font 31 and going to font 48. Fonts 31-33 are "supposedly" 8 point (actually in notesize 14, this is close). Fonts 34-36 are 9 point; fonts 37-39 are 10 point, fonts 40-42 are 11 point, fonts 43-45 are 12 point, and fonts 46-48 are 14 point (all for notesize 14). For the different notesizes, the character fonts also scale up and down. In other words, they keep their same relative size (relative to the size of the notes). This way everything scales up and down with the notesize parameter.
In early implementations of the dmuse, different font sets existed for each note size. But then, at some point, a universal set of fonts was generated, and these use a mapping to say which universal font number (size) corresponded to a, say for example, font-41 in notesize 18. So font-41 in notesize 18 is a different universal font number from font-41 in notesize 6. The master list of fonts and the mapping to the different notesizes is contained in the file: /usr/local/apps/musprint/new/fontmap. We use the map also for choosing the correct beam fonts, wedge fonts, and bracket fonts.

Berkshire Barbers Occupy Wall Street
by Seth Rogovoy
Matthew Ketchum gives a MorganChase 'banker' a haircut at Zuccotti Park
(GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass., and ZUCCOTTI PARK, New York, N.Y.) – The Sim'sMobile pulled out of downtown Great Barrington at 8 a.m. on Monday morning, destination lower Manhattan. At the wheel was Steve Vilot, owner of Sim's Salon and Barber Shops in Pittsfield and Great Barrington, Mass., as well as a recognized authority on the art of shaving, who just last week was in New York City for several days on a film set working as Alecia Moore aka Pink's shaving coach for an upcoming film in which the pop star portrays a barber.
Joining Vilot were his sidekicks BC "Dez" Desautels — affectionately known as "Little Guy" next to Steve's "Big Guy" (if you saw Dez, you'd get the joke) – who works with Vilot in the Great Barrington shop, and Matthew Ketchum, who mans a chair in the old-school Pittsfield location on Tyler Street.
Dez cuts Morgan Stanley banker locks
"Do you realize you guys are a bunch of anarchists?" I said, trying to get a rise out of them. For we were headed to Zuccotti Park, headquarters of the "Occupy" movement spreading like kudzu across the nation and around the world, where these three Berkshire barbers, along with a team from Springfield, Mass., were going to engage in an afternoon of political street theater by giving haircuts to Occupy Wall Street protestors to symbolize the need for big banks to "take a haircut" by providing debt relief to homeowners and consumers in the same manner that they routinely do when dealing with large corporations or wealthy clients.
"I wanna be … anarchy!" replied Dez, a longtime bass player in rock bands, spouting the lyrics to the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK." Born and raised in Pittsfield, with a brief stint lived in the Louisiana bayou, with a twisted sense of humor and tattoos on nearly every visible part of his body and in several ordinarily not visible locations, Dez, like Matthew – who is also a musician and, like Dez, an artist – has a heart of gold belied by his appearance, his off-color language, and his strong opinions. He's funny as hell, too, and I couldn't pay for a bottle of water on the whole trip there and back, as Dez made it his job to take care of me.
Steve Vilot
At Zuccotti Park, Dez, Matthew and Steve set up improvised barber stations with the help of Michael Kink, executive director of the Strong Economy for All Coalition, and his staff. Kink, who calls Great Barrington home, works out of a national labor union office just a few blocks down Broadway from Zuccotti Park, and his talents and an activist, organizer and media liaison were essential to the day's event, which was the major story of the day coming out of Occupy Wall Street, receiving global coverage in print, TV, radio, and on the Internet.
"Big banks are all too happy to take a haircut when it involves the one percent, but for working families on the brink of losing their home or students trying to pay off their loans it's an entirely different story. We're here today to call on Wall Street to take a step toward truly jump starting the ailing economy, and take a haircut to help the 99 percent," said Kink.
List of demands
Coincidentally, the other big story of the day was the announcement of an effort by President Obama to pressure banks and lenders to, in essence, take haircuts on mortgages for homes that are "underwater," or worth less than the value of their loans. Serendipity, or a trickle-up effect from Zuccotti Park?
With no electrical power, Dez, Matthew, and Steve, along with their Springfield colleagues, did it old-school style at the park, with scissors and old-fashioned razors. Among their "patrons," who donned barber capes with the names of financial institutions including JPMorganChase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, were protestors who have been camped out at the park as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement for days or weeks; activists; actors; record label executives; artists; homeless people in need of grooming; out-of-towners who read or heard about the planned event and traveled to New York just to take part in a bit of history; and merely curious passersby.
Is it just me, or is this Nick Lowe?
The barbers worked nonstop with nary a break for about three or four hours. It was tough work, physically demanding, and they were "naked" in the sense that they were totally back-to-basics – no barber's chair to get the client to the proper height (they just had to bend over, killing their backs and shoulders in the process); working with manual tools, resulting in blisters at best and several nicks and cuts that required bandages at worst (amazingly, none of the 'customers' were nicked or cut); no mirrors to hold up for the 'bankers' to approve or disapprove of their work.
What they lacked in the comfort and support of the tools of their 21st century trade was more than made up for in the camaraderie and appreciation of everyone involved – the 'bankers,' the audience that came to view this bit of symbolic political street theater, and the activists and economists who interspersed their comments throughout the day, explaining what "taking a haircut" means in the world of finance and why banks should be required to take those haircuts for the benefit of everyday taxpayers, who wind up footing the bill (plus tips) for haircuts routinely afforded to big corporations.
Everyone involved, that is, except one overly enthusiastic, white-shirted New York City police officer…..
Keeping us safe
At one point, Officer Krupke stood front and center right in front of Dez and Matthew, feet firmly planted on a "Banks Need to Take a Haircut" poster taped to the ground in front of them that everyone else all day were courteous enough not to step on, and told the two barbers in no uncertain terms that they were breaking the law and subject to arrest.
Dez and Matthew were stunned. Unnerved. And, frankly, a little bit scared.
"What are we doing wrong, officer?" asked Matthew?
"You are littering," said Krupke.
"Seriously?" said Dez.
"I am dead serious," said Krupke, not cracking a smile.
"Hair?" said Matthew.
"Hair is litter," said Krupke.
Steve Vilot cuts Marc LaBelle "of Morgan Chase"
The two barbers, in the middle of cutting 'bankers' hair, didn't skip a beat, while unsure if they would be cuffed and vanned and taken to spend the night at Riker's Island with petty thieves, drug dealers, rapists and murderers. They continued their business, as suddenly a crew of 'sanitation workers' miraculously appeared with dustpans and brooms and began sweeping up the hair that was on the sidewalk, Kink among them.
Krupke stood staring for awhile, and then walked off, never to be seen again.
Ah, the '60s
It was the only real moment of tension and drama in an otherwise good-spirited day. The media were all over the barbers – TV, radio, print. Not even two hours into the protest, Kink pulled up an AP report posted on the Wall Street Journal's website that told about the event and quoted Vilot. "We barbers are happy to help bankers take a haircut on behalf of the 99 percent," he said "We won't even charge them for it, and they don't have to tip us. I hope that inspires them to do likewise."
A few hours later, the story would go viral, picked up by newspapers and websites all over the world, with photos of the back of Vilot's head, on which Matthew had artfully carved "99%" out of his hair, flying over the Internet. Do a Google search right now on "Steve Vilot" and you will be amazed – it was the biggest story of the day out of Zuccotti Park (and, curiously, Vilot's hometown newspaper, the Berkshire Eagle, has thus far failed to take any note of it, not even running the AP wire story).
Protestor sleeping
The scene at the park itself resembled a blend of a squatter's encampment, a flea market, and a Grateful Dead concert. Booths and tables were set up for various causes and concerns – bring the troops home; sustainable agriculture; anti-Communist China; the local currency movement (I told the guy about BerkShares but he didn't seem interested to know that there actually WAS a local currency already in place).
"The vibe has changed," said one veteran of the Zuccotti Park campground, apparently disgusted by the commercialization (vendors ring the area offering felafel, sandwiches, coffee and baked goods) and touristization of the encampment (the place was crawling with cameras, prompting one camper to put up a sign protesting, "We are not zoo animals," and asking for donations in exchange for photos).
"If you rob a bank you go to jail; if you rob America you get a bonus," one guy chanted, while an impromptu percussion ensemble pounded out a noisy beat.
The Western Mass crew
When it came time to pack up, after hours of standing on their feet on the hard concrete of the sidewalk and bending over and cutting hair that in some cases hadn't been washed for days and weeks, people were still coming up asking for haircuts. Some just wanted a free trim, but mostly people wanted to take part in this historic act of symbolic protest.
The barbers were hungry, however, and we jumped in a cab and made our way to Vilot's favorite haunt in Chinatown, Hop Lee, at 16 Mott Street. Following a good meal of authentic Chinatown flavors, we headed back up to the Berkshires, arriving home around 10:30 or 11 p.m.
Steve, Dez, and Matthew were heroes – like David Bowie sang — just for one day. But it was a day that will last a lifetime for them and for everyone else that had a glimpse of this courageous, selfless action they engaged in on the part of the 99% getting screwed by a system geared to bending the rules for the benefit of the 1%.
End the class war
The next morning, Steve, Dez, and Matthew were standing behind their chairs in their shops, earning just enough money to pay for food, shelter and clothing for themselves and their families, and forking over a good quarter or third of what they earned to the state and federal governments to pay for the great services our social welfare state provides. They don't resent having to do that; they aren't happy, however, that the 1% doesn't pay its proportionate share.
And it irks them that, street theater aside, banks still won't take a haircut on their behalf. Even if it's free.

There are many that claim to be Magento hosting providers but fact of the matter is that they aren't really cut out to be one. The wide discrepancy between what they claim and what they really offer is probably one of the biggest ironies of this industry. In the midst of this uncertainty we've narrowed down our choice to Cloudways, a managed Magento hosting provider that manages all server-related issues.
Developing a Magento store and maintaining it means that you already have enough on your plate. Delayed response time or even a serious problem with the server affecting the operations of your store is the last thing you want. While you're solving the problem, you are burning money and losing business.
Now imagine a scenario where you don't have to spend resources to retain a system administrator and you still get someone to manage the risks of downtime with minimum server-related hassles.
Cloudways offers managed Magento hosting with optimized servers that are monitored professionally by the Cloudways team. This means that while you keep your focus on the priorities of your business, Cloudways takes care of your servers. Fastest page load times, effective monitoring of servers and applications and easy deployment are just some of the perks of hosting with Cloudways. Cloudways offers a range of well-known cloud infrastructure providers including Google, Amazon Web Server, DigitalOcean, Kyup, Linode and Vultr. Here are some of the most prominent features of Cloudways managed Magento hosting.
CloudwaysCDN fulfills the needs of a business by widening the reach of your Magento store and improving the user experience. With Cloudways you are able to build better websites and improve the performance without having to pay too much- CloudwaysCDN merely costs a dollar per month. As a result, you get faster load times of your website as CloudwaysCDN caches all static content and serves them from the closest server.
Additionally, you don't have to worry about separate billing for CDN. Cloudways users can pay for all the related charges in a single invoice.
Team collaboration is one of the key aspects of development. You have to manage and collaborate with different stakeholders and different Magento applications at the same time. To solve this problem, Cloudways offers its Team Collaboration feature that lets you create separate login credentials for both servers and applications.
You can create different credentials that can be shared with your development team or your clients or anyone associated with the project, without having to compromise your master credentials. All you have to do is assign these team members specific applications/servers with access to only specific things.
To spice it up, Cloudways extends this feature by incorporating the option of creating Projects. You can use the Projects feature to further segment and classify specific projects and assign them to your specific team members.
With Cloudways you have the ability to easily deploy and install (unlimited) applications on a single server. With just a few clicks, you can deploy your Magento applications and get started with the optimization. When you're done installing, Cloudways lets you monitor all the server related issues from its user-friendly platform. You can make all the modifications and tweaks in just a few clicks on the Cloudways platform.
Additionally, if you are a development agency, you don't have to fret over the billing of the server after you've handed it over to the client. With Cloudways, you can transfer complete control over to the client once you've done your part.
One of the biggest advantages of hosting with Cloudways is that you have the ability to easily manage multiple applications by creating unlimited staging areas.
You can create clones of multiple applications for free and do all the testings you want. This means that you don't have to mess with the live website and make all the changes on the dev website until you're fully satisfied. Once you're done, you can point your live domain to it.
All in all, Cloudways offers fully managed cloud hosting services, allowing its clients to keep their focus on what really matters – their online business.


To align better with Zyrtec's bigger data initiative to personalize messaging, our in-house innovation team took Zyrtec's 7 year old AllergyCast mobile app and turned it into a voice action for Google Assistant. When users prompt Google Assistant with the "talk to Zyrtec" invocation, recited back is their AllergyCast, a personalized daily allergy forecast based on their location created with third-party data and stats. Users then have the ability to ask more in-depth questions, such as which pollens are popping at any given time.
For launch, we worked with Google and the Zyrtec brand team to develop a :15 pre-roll video to help promote the voice action. The video stems from the insight that nature is the epitome of beauty, but for those who suffer from allergies, it's also the epitome of suffering. However, with the help of Zyrtec and Google Assistant, anyone can master the Art of Allergies to be able to enjoy all the beauty that allergy season has to offer.

James is set for stardom!
Meet James McKevitt, a talented new Rotary member, who recently became a Fellow at the Royal Astronomical Society.
By Dave King
Read Full Article Close Article
He is still a student at Loughborough University, but Rotary member James McKevitt is one to watch out for.
The 20-year-old from Lincolnshire has found a love for astronomy and was recently awarded a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.
However, it was Rotary which first got James really interested in the science.
James explained, "My secondary school in Spalding ran an award jointly with South Holland Rotary which granted a student a travel grant to pursue an interest.
"I applied and was awarded money to travel to Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
"As the money wouldn't fully cover the cost of the trip, the Rotary club helped me out and contacted Rotary groups over there, leading to me staying with a local Rotarian and her using contacts meaning I met with launch controllers and engineers at NASA.
"This interaction with Rotary meant I learned all about it's incredible projects and was inspired to try and give back to the organisation."
James meets staff at NASA.
Today, James is an aeronautical engineering student at Loughborough University and in 2018 he was awarded the Undergraduate of the Year Award for Innovation by TARGETjobs and Barclays Plc.
He is Head of Projects at the Loughborough Space Society where they are developing a rocket engine built last year which he took to his Rotary club to run a rocketry evening.
"I have joined Loughborough Jubilee Rotary which is a satellite club of Loughborough Beacon Rotary," he added.
"This offers me the opportunity to meet with the younger Rotarians weekly in a more informal environment, taking less time and so making it more convenient for me.
"However, I also semi-regularly attend Loughborough Beacon Rotary.
"I would disagree that Rotary needs to lose its formality to attract new younger members – I think a satellite club offers the perfect balance and the ability to interact fully with both sides."

Crisis and Opportunity for Turkey and America: The Minbij Dispute

The city of Minbij in northern Syria has become a source of severe political tension between the United States and Turkey. It might also be the key to reducing tensions and normalising relations. Continue reading →

The American-led Coalition's partner against the Islamic State (IS) in Syria, the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), presents itself, ideologically and in terms of the governance structure it controls, in universalistic liberal and democratic terms, emphasizing ecological and feminist themes. The reality is that the SDF is under the politico-military control of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a designated terrorist organization that has run a four-decade-long insurgency against Turkey. The PKK has brought some measure of stability to the areas it controls, but it continues to struggle for legitimacy and without locally-legitimate government IS and other jihadi-Salafists will find political room to operate. The PKK's continued monopolization of power and abusive governance practices undermine the chances for the "Rojava" system to evolve into a long-term solution to the jihadist terrorists that have used Syrian territory to threaten the region and the wider world.

The Coalition's Partner in Syria: The Syrian Democratic Forces
Originally published at The Henry Jackson Society
By Kyle Orton (@KyleWOrton) on 9 July 2017
Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) logo
The offensive to expel the Islamic State (IS) from its primary urban stronghold in Syria, Raqqa city, began on 6 November 2016 with shaping operations and commenced in earnest on 6 June 2017. Backed by the U.S.-led Coalition, the operation, known as EUPHRATES WRATH, is being carried out on the ground by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) or Quwwat Suriya al-Dimoqratiyya (QSD). The SDF is formally a coalition of Kurds and Arabs—its announcement of the Raqqa operation named eighteen distinct sub-units. But the predominant force within the SDF is the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and the Arab SDF play a "secondary role of maintaining local security," which is to say providing an acceptable face for the PKK's administration in the Arab-majority areas it has captured. Examining the SDF's composition, and the recent marginalization of Arab SDF groups, underscores the point. Continue reading →

The Problems With the West's Partners Against the Islamic State
By Kyle Orton (@KyleWOrton) on 10 May 2017
U.S. troops patrolling with the YPG/PKK in the village of Darbasiyah, northern Syria, on the border with Turkey, 28 April 2017
The United States has tried to engage in Syria almost solely in a counter-terrorism capacity, against Daesh (IS) and—in a recently-escalating campaign—against al Qaeda. The narrowness of the focus on jihadist terrorists led to the US disregarding wider political dynamics in the war in Syria—and to a degree in Iraq, too—and partnering with forces that over the long term will undo even this narrow mission.
The announcement yesterday that President Donald Trump will now arm the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) to expel Daesh from its Syrian capital, Raqqa, is the end-point of this policy, setting up a very dangerous medium- and long-term situation that will redound to the benefit of terrorists.

Trips operate March through October. All ground transportation is included. Reservations are recommended certain trip minimums apply.


The Bible promises that God would restore the 'years that the locusts have eaten'. As a bachelor and then a newly married man, certain financial indiscipline that I carried resulted in me making mistakes. Not that I was in any distress, but it seemed I had lost those precious years of early earning that could have been judiciously put to use.
In the last one year or so, it is as if the lost years have been restored. Not only did they reshape and sharpen some of my financial disciplines as a mentor would, but also propelled us in goal achievement. For instance, no sooner did we set a goal to buy a house than we were able to achieve within the first 12 months of having begun our journey with Capitalworx. I would definitely recommend Capitalworx not only as mere financial planners but also as mentors who journey with you and help you shape financial ideals for a healthy, balanced and a sustained growth.


Concerns have been raised over plans by the British government to "veto" information in reports by a new body investigating Troubles killings.
Details emerged yesterday in a policy paper published by the Northern Ireland Office on legislation to enact the Stormont House Agreement.
The political agreement last December proposed a Historical Investigations Unit (HIU) to replace the now defunct police Historical Enquiries Team and take over some of the work carried out by the Police Ombudsman.
It is intended to investigate unsolved killings and provide reports to families.
There are also plans to establish an Independent Commission on Information Retrieval for victims and an Oral History Archive.
The commission would offer immunity from prosecution on information it receives about Troubles-related deaths, although the British and Irish governments have insisted this does not represent an amnesty as the HIU would still carry out its own investigations.
Despite the current political crisis, work on a draft bill has continued throughout the summer and is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
Relatives of Troubles victims have previously voiced concern about the independence of the planned HIU and some are worried that former police officers may be employed by it.
In the past the PSNI has been accused of withholding information relating to controversial killings.
Now fresh concerns have been raised over plans by the British government to control what information is published through HIU reports on "national security" grounds.
According to the policy paper published by Secretary of State Theresa Villiers, the HIU " must protect information that, if disclosed, would or would be likely to prejudice national security (including information from the intelligence services)".
Brian Gormally, director of the Committee on the Administration of Justice, said the issue of national security wasn't raised in the Stormont House Agreement.
"One of the key achievements of the agreement was that bodies like the HIU are to be independent from everyone else including government, which means ministers should not be able to direct what it does," he said.
"It is with considerable alarm therefore that we note the Secretary of State is planning a power for herself to veto the inclusion of certain information in HIU reports, and is doing so on the deliberately vague and undefined grounds of national security, which in effect can mean whatever she wants it to mean."
A spokesman for the NIO said the "HIU will see all information the government has, but as this means they will receive and hold information which could endanger lives and jeopardise national security, the legislation will put in place controls regarding onward disclosure by the HIU. This is to ensure lives are not put at risk and security is not jeopardised.
Ulster Unionist MP Tom Elliott last night said the public should be consulted on the plans.
He also questioned why the document states that UK authorities would give "full disclosure" of information they hold, while the Republic is committed only to "disclosure".


What is an Embroidery Birds Nest & Why Does it Happen?
First off, if you are into "Birding" (the cool word Birdwatchers call themselves) I don't want you to get into this blog and think it's geared towards wildlife observation. Birds' nests are comfy homes for our feathery friends, but in embroidery, they definitely don't give you those same heartwarming feelings.
Don't believe me, ask a group of embroiderers, "who here has ever had a Birds Nest"? and watch all the hands go up! Better than that, look at the expressions on their faces when hearing those words… it's like a cross between sucking on a lemon and constipation!
In the word of embroidery, "Birds Nests" are like saying bad words.
The number one reason why bird-nesting occurs is either the incorrect insertions of a bobbin or, as I've done on many occurrences, forgetting to insert the bobbin at all! It creates flagging on the hoop and causes the top thread to get stuck between the bobbin plate and the bottom of the hoop. The longer it stitches, the more the hoop bounces and the bigger the nest.
I've experienced some epic "Birds Nests" in the past that have pretty much locked up the machine with the embroidered piece solidly adhered to the bobbin plate. On rare occasions I've seen the garment "pop" out of the hoop, generally if you see this occur, odds are the garment will most likely be unsalvageable as the integrity of the fabric will have most likely been torn.
Other causes for bird-nesting can be incorrect threading of the upper thread, not correctly following all the "guides" and missing or having the thread jump out of the take-up lever. This will pretty much guarantee a Birds Nest.
Extreme 'flagging' with the material can promote the issue if your items are very loosely hooped. One of the reasons I'm not a big fan of "floating" items on a hoop as having a securely hooped item will always promote better quality.
Tension errors can also be a contributing factor. If your bobbin is way too tight and your top thread is way too loose.
And lastly, mechanical issues. This may be more prevalent with commercial/tubular machines. If your rotary hook timing is off, or your needle bar height is off, or a combination of the two… you'll experience more thread breaks and birds nests.
I remember when I used to do the general repairs in our multi-head factory, an operator would come to me complaining that the machine is creating birds' nests. I'd look them in the eye and say, "you hit a frame, didn't you?". The answer was generally always yes… unless they lied of course.
How do you prevent embroidery birds nests from happening?
Now that you've read the above information you should be better equipped. Remember the bobbin, tensions, flagging, timing and DON'T HIT YOUR HOOPS.
How do I fix embroidery birds nests when they do happen?
Carefully, would be the sarcastic answer. But a better solution is to have the right tools for the job. If the item hasn't got to the point of tearing the fabric and creating a hope you can likely salvage the situation. But don't start "manhandling" the situation by pulling on the hoop aggressively. Try to gently create a bit of space between the bobbin plate and the hoop and then use your "tools" to do the rest of the job.
A while back my good friends and RNK gave my their "Thread-Nest Tool Set," and it's come in handy. Basically, it's a long hook and a long surgical scalpel that gets through those nests without causing stress to the item in the hoop.
If you can get the hoop off without disrupting the garment, your back in business quickly!

When I first learned Gemarah in yeshiva, I was given a list of common vocab. words and phrases and I had to memorize the Aramaic and Hebrew. This sufficed to help me understand most of the common Gemarah language.
I am looking, now, more for a "basic" book in Aramaic that focuses more on the structure and grammar of the language and, perhaps, its comparison to Hebrew. I.e. - I am not looking for Jastrow or some book that cross refs. Talmudic terms. That's "incidentally" useful for me. I am looking for something that focuses more on the general structure of Aramit to help me understand how the word structure / grammar fits into the Gemarra by citing a few examples.
Can someone recommend a good book that has this approach and explain some of its highlights. I'm not seeking a list, here. I just want to get a sense of what's available that will do the job.
I would recommend a few different texts. Chiefly, since you are looking for something basic and fundamental, I would encourage you to check out Yitzhak Frank, Grammar for Gemara and Targum Onkelos (Jerusalem, 2009). He goes into detail as regards the relationship of different Aramaic dialects to one another, their relationship with Hebrew (Biblical and Mishnaic) and presents a basic grammar of Talmudic language. For what you are looking for, this might be the best bet.
If you wanted something a little bit less "basic", but somewhat more direct as regards the relationship between Aramaic and Hebrew, have a look at Sabatino Moscati (et al), An Introduction to the Comparative Grammar of the Semitic Languages (ed. S. Moscati; Wiesbaden, 1980), or Patrick R. Bennett, Comparative Semitic Linguistics: A Manual (Eisenbrauns, 1998), which is somewhat more basic than its title suggests.
So too, if you decide that you want something that focuses a little more heavily on the grammar of the language and less on its relationship to Hebrew, I personally found very useful Alger F. Johns, A Short Grammar of Biblical Aramaic (Michigan, 1972) and Wm. B. Stevenson, Grammar of Palestinian Jewish Aramaic (Oxford, 1962) - although note that neither of these are for the gemara. The first will help with Daniel, Ezra and some targumim and the second with the Yerushalmi (and various other targumim), but unless you are going to delve into a lot of detail, I don't think you'll find either so different from the grammar of the Bavli that they will fail to be of assistance there either.
W.M. Thackston, Introduction to Syriac (Maryland, 1999).
i recommend that instead of a book you listen to a 5 part lecture series from Web Yeshiva featuring Rabbi Dovid Fink who goes into the exact details you are looking for. The signup is free, and you can download the videos.
I'm not sure why you would say that Syriac is "indistinguishable" the Aramaic of Talmud Bavli. They are entirely different dialects of Aramaic! As far as dialects go, Mandean is closer to Jewish Babylonian Aramaic than Syriac, both in terms of geography and features.
A good practical grammar of Talmudic Aramaic would be A manual of Babylonian Jewish Aramaic, by David Marcus. A more thorough and up-to-date grammar would be Elitzur A. Bar-Asher Siegal's Introduction to the Grammar of Jewish-Babylonian Aramaic.

A Midsummer Night 's Dream By William Shakespeare
Meeting your truelove sounds like a fantasy, right? It doesn't seem possible or even attainable in the least this day in time, but Shakespeare's work has still given us that hope that someday we will be loved the way that we love others themselves. In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," it seems as if there is an endearing ending, but so much lies between Act 1 and Act 5 to have it end the way it does. In this play, there is a complicated romance and friendship between four couples that also illustrates sexual desires and a woman's submission to a man. To further illustrate, we must first start with Act 1, Scene 1 for the first two "lovers" that are introduced. Theseus, the duke of Athens, has just returned from the war against the Amazons and…show more content…
Hermia has a choice to make after Egeus speaking with Theseus about whom she will marry if marry at all. Theseus says to Hermia, "To fit your fancies to your father's will, / Or else the law of Athens yields you up / (Which by no means we may extenuate) / To death, or to a vow of single life (1.1.118-121)." She has the choice to either marry Demetrius, become a nun, or even die if she chooses neither. Being young and in love, her and Lysander choose to run away and elope, meeting later in the forest that night. It would have worked out for the couple except for one remaining factor that brought further complications to their love. Hermia's best friend, Helena, meets Hermia before Hermia runs away to the forest to meet Lysander. Helena is in love with Demetrius, but he no longer feels the same way for her anymore and instead wants Hermia. Being lovesick, Helena is willing to do anything to have Demetrius love her again, even if it means going behind her friends back. Helena decides to let Hermia and Lysander go but tell Demetrius, hoping he will fall back in love with her. Hermia hoped that by confiding in her friend that it would cheer her up saying that Demetrius would not worry about Hermia when she was gone, but Helena so desperate decided to take matters into her own hands (Kerr). Leading into the forest where Hermia and Lysander meet, Demetrius and Helena are not far behind looking
Written during the Elizabethan era where gender roles played an important part in society and relationships, A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare portrays the interaction between both sexes, and the women's response to the expectation of such norms. Although the characters: Hippolyta, Hermia, Helena, and Titania, are portrayed as objects (both sexual and material) contingent upon their male lovers, they are also given empowerment.

Shakespeare's comedies, like those of most Renaissance playwrights, involve love and its obstacles. Much of the comedy in A Midsummer Night's Dream derives from the attempt of Lysander and Hermia to remain together while overcoming the adult authority figure who attempts to hinder the love of a young couple. The overcoming of an obstacle functions as a common motif in Renaissance comedy. The audience must wonder, however, whether Lysander and Hermia, as well as Demetrius and Helena, actually love

William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream has been categorized as a comedy play because of all the characters being passionately in love to the point of being foolish.

Reading: CBN raises interest rate to 15.5% to curb Inflation
CBN raises interest rate to 15.5% to curb Inflation
Gist Of The Day Published September 27, 2022
The Central Bank of Nigeria has raised the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), which measures interest rate, to 15.5 percent from 14 percent
CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, made this known on Tuesday, September 27 after a Monetary Policy Committee meeting in Abuja. He said the move was to curb Inflation.
Emefiele said, "The committee voted unanimously to raise the MPR…The MPC voted to raise the MPR to 15.5, retain the asymmetric corridor at +100 -700 basis points around the MPR. Increase the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) to a minimum of 32.5% and retain liquidity ratio at 30%."
"Members deliberated the impact of the widening margin between the current policy rate of 14 percent and the inflation rate of 20.52 percent.
"At this meeting, the option of reducing the policy rate was not considered as this would be gravely detrimental to reigning in inflation. The committee thus agreed unanimously to raise the policy rate to narrow the interest rate gap and reign in inflation. The committee thus voted unanimously to raise the MPR.
"10 members voted to raise the MPR by 150 basis points, one (voted to raise it) by 100 basis points and one by 50 basis points. 10 members voted to increase CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) by 500 basis points, while two members voted to increase it by 750 basis points."

Q: How to show one item per table cell in a JSP using Display tag library? I am using Display Tag Library to be able to perform pagination and sorting of data. I know how to display one item per table cell in a regular table from a list but using Display tag library I am kind of stuck. It display everything in one table cell. Behind the scene display tag generates tr and td tags but I am confused how to show the following esignNumDocsone per table cell.
Hope the question is clear.
<display:column title="# of E-Sign Documents" class="displayColumns" >
            <c:forEach items="${intgList}" var="list">
                <c:if test="${list.policyNbrLink eq false}">
                    <c:out value="${list.policyNumber}"/>
                </c:if>
                <a id="eSignNumDocs" href= "javascript:locateFunc('viewESignDetails', {'url':'<integration:urlAction actionName="/integration/viewDetailsIntegration"><integration:urlParam key="esignIdentifier" value="${list.esignId}"/></integration:urlAction>',
                    'agencyCode':'${list.agencyCode}',
                    'policyNumber':'${list.policyNumber}',
                    'policyState':'${list.policyState}',
                    'esignIdentifier':'${list.esignId}',
                    'esignVendorIdentifier':'${list.esignVendorIdentifier}',
                    'lob':'${list.lob}',
                    'transId':'${list.transId}',
                    'customerName':'${list.insuredName}',
                    'customerPhone':'${list.custPhone}',
                    'customerEmail':'${list.custEmail}',
                    'cretedDate':'${list.createdDate}'});">
                    <c:out value="${list.esignNumDocs}"/>

            </c:forEach>
        </display:column>

I need to show value of eSignNumDocs one per table cell but with the above code it shows 1,2in the cell. How can I show 1 in one row and 2 the next?
Thanks.

A: Alright guys, I thought this might help someone. Display tag also accepts implicit objects. Since it takes a list anyways I didn't need to iterate through again for the # of ESign docs column. Instead I used the table id which is data in my case and passed that to initialize all the variables in the URL. Following shows the complete code with the change.
<display:table id="data" name="intgList" requestURI="/integration/viewIntegration" class="fieldLabelCell" pagesize="10">

        <display:setProperty name="paging.banner.page.selected" value="{0}" />
        <display:setProperty name="basic.empty.showtable" value="true"/>
        <display:setProperty name="paging.banner.placement" value="top"/>
        <display:setProperty name="basic.msg.empty_list_row" value=""/>
        <display:setProperty name="paging.banner.group_size" value="2"/>
        <display:setProperty name="paging.banner.no_items_found" value=""/>
        <display:setProperty name="paging.banner.page.separator" value=" of "/>
