The following is a review of the traditional morning walking tour of the show. The walking tour is a favorite event, which gives attendees an opportunity to view the show in small groups with expert guides, before the show opens to the public. Rusha Sams, a Heart of Country showgoer, wrote this review. It first appeared in the antique trade newspaper, Antique Week.
Now I usually don't avail myself of the opportunity to plunk down $25.00 for a tour at an antiques show – I'm too cheap, I suppose. But talk about value for my money! The early Thursday morning tour at the Heart of Country Show not only taught me some aspects of the business; it showed me that no matter how long we have been dealers, buyers, or scholars, we just can't know it all!
Prospective tour-goers met in the lobby outside the exhibition hall at 8:30 A.M. where we were addressed by an enthusiastic coordinator who placed us into groups. Luckily for me, Jim Sanders, a lecturer on American Antiques at Purdue University, University of Southern Indiana, and the University of Evansville led my group.
So we were off, stopping at booths, listening to Jim wax poetic about the virtues of sugar chests, dovetailing, preservation. But he also added, "I hate to say this, but some of the pieces I earmarked for our tour this morning sold last night at the Preview Party. There were a large number of people attending, and, from the looks of the comings and goings of the dealers this morning; a number of special pieces are gone. This is not a charity event. People come to buy." We noticed that dealers were headed to their private stashes in the storage areas to find replacement pieces for empty corners in their booths!
Kemble also offered an excellent sugar chest for sale. Jim praised the piece and then added, "You'll see a lot of cherry at this show. The best, if you'll pardon me, comes from Tennessee and Kentucky. The poorest cherry is from Indiana – their cherry has too much white in the coloration. Indiana is known for walnut." Again, a hesitation lest he offend someone in the group.
Tiger maple became a favorite wood of our group after we spied fine pieces in several booths. "Certain chemicals in the ground give it the striping. Only about one of every 500-750 trees will have the figuring. Sometimes you can even find it in cherry." Then he paused again, so as not to offend. "Now let me explain why it was in demand. One of the first things a household had in Colonial days was a good firearm. The better ones had a tiger maple stock. So, you see, men were familiar with tiger maple, and, when it came to purchasing or making furniture, the men wanted the wood with which they were familiar: tiger maple!" And where in the U.S. do you find tiger maple? "A lot of it comes from Ohio," Jim added.
The Gallery Booth, a centrally located highly publicized area, contained showcase pieces that elicited oohs and ahs from our group. "A dealer or dealers will know for a year that they will have the gallery booth. They save for the event. This year, internationally acclaimed antiquarians Patrick Bell and Edwin Hild of Olde Hope, Pennsylvania, presented a collection of folk art, quality 18th and 19th century American furniture, and fine art in "The Art of Country," the Spring 2001 Gallery Booth.
At the booth owned by Marie Miller from Vermont, we looked more closely at a 19th century weathervane with a zinc head. "Weathervanes were very important in Colonial days. There was no rural delivery. You had to go to the post office for mail. Therefore, if someone came into a territory or town looking for someone or to make a delivery, the weathervane on a home was an identification symbol." Weighted heads in horse weathervanes caught the wind just right on a blustery day.
Other tidbits enlightened those of us who wanted to know more.
If you want to buy a secretary or desk, have the dealer pull it out to see if the pieces have been "married" – a top, for example, from one piece; a bottom from another.
Have the dealer document a piece for you on his letterhead stationery including the approximate date of the piece and any information concerning its history – it's good for your own information but it's also usable information for insurance purposes.
Some people like the look of a refinished piece; others will pass on it because it doesn't look original. You have to live with the pieces. If you like original drawers that you have to lift, so be it. Be happy with what you purchase.
When you consider purchasing a really fine clock, understand that usually the works were made by one person, the case by another.
Dealers say that buying a single piece from an estate is getting to be more difficult. Sometimes they have to buy a whole collection just to get a key item.
Do become specific in a certain area. Read whatever you can so that you know the furniture of one region or one period. He recommended a book entitled The New Fine Points of Furniture: Early American, Good, Better, Best, Superior, Masterpiece by Albert Sack and Deanne Levison. The book gives ideas about proportion, composition, what to look for, etc.
If you are shopping a big show such as this one, it's fine to ask a dealer to hold a piece for half an hour or so. Then you can circulate to get an idea if that is the one you want!
Keep receipts for purchases. Antiques constitute some of our best investments – and you can learn so much from dates and prices of items you have purchased.
Some people don't like the look of Empire furniture, but it's representative of an important period. Mistakenly, people think that the large, overhanging top drawers of Empire chests held blankets, but they didn't. They stored hats or bonnets.
Early bandboxes were covered with scraps of wallpaper, and it is from these early boxes that we get many of our wallpaper designs for our homes today.
Finding American brass is very difficult today. Some people resist purchasing a fine piece of furniture because the hardware is missing, but purchasers should know two things: Some of the hardware was given up to make guns for the War, or sometimes an owner had a cabinet made with the intention of getting the hardware later – and just never did.
Another excellent resource for those who want to learn more about American country furniture is the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Mr. Sanders ended his lecture/tour with a couple of final examples. First, he paused in front of Booth 284 – Spirit of America from Maryland – where he asked the owner to tell us about an excellent spice cabinet – 16 drawers over 2. The mid-Atlantic piece still sporting its original mustard paint contained drawers that were dovetailed front and back. "It could also be called a Pinch Box – for a pinch of salt or other spice." Evidently, someone else knew the value of the painted piece listed for $1995 – it was sold before I could get back with my reloaded camera an hour later!
Second, he explained the value of samplers and theorems. "They were teaching pieces for children, and there are numerous fine examples in the show." But what astounded us was the description of one in his own collection: a six-foot long sampler! "It was a vita of sorts. A teacher would make several small samplers demonstrating what skills she could teach children. Then she would sew all the different panels together only to unfurl the piece later in front of prospective clients wanting to engage a stitchery expert to while away the hours with their daughters." An early resume, no doubt!
Jim Sanders is not a dealer, preferring instead to be a teacher (and an excellent tour guide!). A long-time collector of fine things, he is an appraiser and the owner of a home featured in the April 1991 issue of Country Home magazine showing homes of New Harmony, Indiana. So who says we can't all learn a thing or two about our passions and collections? Bring on the next big antiques show and the tour!
a broad array of Americana.


The ounce (abbreviated oz; apothecary symbol: ℥) is a unit of mass, weight, or volume used in most British derived customary systems of measurement. The common avoirdupois ounce (approximately 28.3 g) is 1⁄16 of a common avoirdupois pound; this is the United States customary and British imperial ounce. It is primarily used in the United States to measure packaged foods and food portions, postal items, areal density of fabric and paper, boxing gloves, and so on; but sometimes also elsewhere in the Anglosphere.
The troy ounce of about 31.1 g is used for the mass of precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, etc.
The ounce-force is a measure of weight, that is, force.
The fluid ounce is a measure of volume.
Historically, a variety of different ounces measuring mass or volume were used in different jurisdictions by different trades.
Ounce derives from Latin uncia, a unit that was one-twelfth (1⁄12) of the Roman pound (libra). Ounce was borrowed twice: first into Old English as ynsan or yndsan from an unattested Vulgar Latin form with ts for c before i (palatalization) and second into Middle English through Anglo-Norman and Middle French (unce, once, ounce). The abbreviation oz came later from the cognate Italian word onza (now spelled oncia).
Inch comes from the same Latin word, but differs because it was borrowed into Old English and underwent i-mutation or umlaut ([u] → [y]) and palatalization ([k] → [tʃ]).
Historically, in different parts of the world, at different points in time, and for different applications, the ounce (or its translation) has referred to broadly similar but different standards of mass.
The international avoirdupois ounce is defined as exactly 28.349523125 g under the international yard and pound agreement of 1959, signed by the United States and countries of the Commonwealth of Nations.
In the avoirdupois system, sixteen ounces make up an avoirdupois pound, and the avoirdupois pound is defined as 7000 grains; one avoirdupois ounce is therefore equal to 437.5 grains.
The ounce is still a standard unit in the United States. In the United Kingdom it ceased to be a legal unit of measure in 2000, but is still in general usage on an informal basis. In addition it is the normal measure for portion sizes in British restaurants.
A troy ounce is equal to 480 grains. Consequently, the international troy ounce is equal to exactly 31.1034768 grams. There are 12 troy ounces in the now obsolete troy pound.
Some countries have redefined their ounces in the metric system. For example, the German apothecaries ounce of 30 grams, is very close to the previously widespread Nuremberg ounce, but the divisions and multiples come out in metric.
In 1820, the Dutch redefined their ounce (in Dutch, ons) as 100 grams. Dutch amendments to the metric system, such as an ons or 100 grams, has been inherited, adopted, and taught in Indonesia beginning in elementary school. It is also listed as standard usage in Indonesia's national dictionary, the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, and the government's official elementary‐school curriculum.
The obsolete apothecaries' ounce (abbreviated ℥) equivalent to the troy ounce, was formerly used by apothecaries.
"Maria Theresa ounce" was once introduced in Ethiopia and some European countries, which was equal to the weight of one Maria Theresa thaler, or 28.0668 g. Both the weight and the value are the definition of one birr, still in use in present-day Ethiopia and formerly in Eritrea.
The Spanish pound (Spanish libra) was 460 g. The Spanish ounce (Spanish onza) was 1⁄16 of a pound, i.e. 28.75 g.
The Tower ounce of 450 grains was used in the English mints, the principal one being in the Tower of London. It dates back to the Anglo-Saxon coinage weight standard. It was abolished in favour of the Troy ounce by Henry VIII in 1527.
An ounce-force is 1⁄16 of a pound-force, or 0.2780139 newtons.
The "ounce" in "ounce-force" is equivalent to an avoirdupois ounce; ounce-force is a measurement of force using avoirdupois ounces. However, it is not necessary to identify it as such or to differentiate it in that way because there is no equivalent measure of force using troy or any other "ounce".
A fluid ounce (abbreviated fl oz, fl. oz. or oz. fl.) is a unit of volume equal to about 28.4 ml in the imperial system or about 29.6 ml in the US system. The fluid ounce is sometimes referred to simply as an "ounce" in applications where its use is implicit, such as bartending.
Ounces are also used to express the "weight", or more accurately the areal density, of a textile fabric in North America, Asia or the UK, as in "16 oz denim". The number refers to the weight in ounces of a given amount of fabric, either a yard of a given width, or a square yard.
The most common unit of measure for the copper thickness on a printed circuit board (PCB) is ounces (oz). It is the resulting thickness when 1 oz of copper is pressed flat and spread evenly over a one-square-foot area. This roughly equals 34.7 µm.

12 oz. Mouse is an American surreal humour and psychological thriller animated television series created by Matt Maiellaro for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block, Adult Swim. The series revolves around Mouse Fitzgerald, nicknamed "Fitz" (voiced by Maiellaro), an alcoholic mouse who performs odd jobs so he can buy more beer. Together with his chinchilla companion Skillet, Fitz begins to recover suppressed memories that he once had a wife and a child who have now vanished. This leads him to seek answers about his past and the shadowy forces that seem to be manipulating his world.
The pilot episode for 12 oz. Mouse, "Hired", premiered on June 19, 2005. The series became a regular staple of Adult Swim's lineup on October 23, 2005, and ended on December 17, 2006. Critical reception was mixed; some praised the series' experimental nature, while others felt confounded by it.
It was announced on September 18, 2018 that the series would return for a half-hour special entitled "Invictus", which aired a month later on October 14. On the day of the special's airing, another announcement was made that the series will return for a 10-episode third season which will air in 2020.
American Arts Commemorative Series Medallions are a series of ten gold bullion medallions that were produced by the United States Mint from 1980 to 1984. They were sold to compete with the South African Krugerrand and other bullion coins.
The series was proposed by North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms after the United States Department of the Treasury began selling portions of the national stockpile of gold. Iowa Representative Jim Leach suggested that the medallions depict notable American artists. President Jimmy Carter signed the bill containing the authorizing legislation into law on November 10, 1978, despite objections from Treasury officials.
The medallions were initially sold through mail order; purchasers were required to obtain the day's price by telephone before ordering. Later, the Mint sold them through telemarketing. Mintage ceased after the ten different medallions approved by Congress were produced. All were struck at the West Point Bullion Depository. The series sold poorly, prompting critics to blame the involved process by which they were first marketed, and the fact that they were medallions rather than coins.
Britannia gold coins contain one troy ounce of gold and have a face value of £100. Gold Britannias also are issued in fractional sizes of one-half, one-quarter, and one-tenth of a troy ounce and with face values of £50, £25, and £10 respectively. In 2013 two additional sizes were introduced, a five-ounce coin of face value £500, and a fractional size of one-twentieth of face value £5.Britannia silver coins contain one troy ounce of silver and have a face value of £2. Silver Britannias also are issued in fractional sizes of one-half, one-quarter, and one-tenth of a troy ounce and with face values of £1, 50p, and 20p respectively. Like the gold coins in 2013 two additional sizes were introduced, a five-ounce coin of face value £10, and a fractional size of one-twentieth of face value 10p.
A gold bar, also called gold bullion or a gold ingot, is a quantity of refined metallic gold of any shape that is made by a bar producer meeting standard conditions of manufacture, labeling, and record keeping. Larger gold bars that are produced by pouring the molten metal into molds are called ingots. Smaller bars may be manufactured by minting or stamping from appropriately rolled gold sheets. The standard gold bar held as gold reserves by central banks and traded among bullion dealers is the 400-troy-ounce (12.4 kg or 438.9 ounces) Good Delivery gold bar. The kilobar, which is 1000 grams in mass (32.15 troy ounces), is the bar that is more manageable and is used extensively for trading and investment. The premium on these bars when traded is very low over the spot value of the gold, making it ideal for small transfers between banks and traders. Most kilobars are flat, although some investors, particularly in Europe, prefer the brick shape. Asian markets differ in that they prefer gram gold bars as opposed to Troy ounce measurements. Popular sizes in the Asian region include 10 grams, 100 grams and 1,000 gram bars.
The medical use of cannabis is legal (with a doctor's recommendation) in 33 states, four out of five permanently inhabited U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia. Fourteen other states have laws that limit THC content, for the purpose of allowing access to products that are rich in cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive component of cannabis. Although cannabis remains a Schedule I drug, the Rohrabacher–Farr amendment prohibits federal prosecution of individuals complying with state medical cannabis laws.The recreational use of cannabis is legal in 10 states (Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington), the District of Columbia, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam. Another 14 states plus the U.S. Virgin Islands have decriminalized. Commercial distribution of cannabis is allowed in all jurisdictions where cannabis has been legalized, except Vermont and the District of Columbia. Prior to January 2018, the Cole Memorandum provided some protection against the enforcement of federal law in states that have legalized, but it was rescinded by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.Although the use of cannabis remains federally illegal, some of its derivative compounds have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for prescription use. Cannabinoid drugs which have received FDA approval are Marinol, Syndros, Cesamet, and Epidiolex. Cannabidiol is also sold by numerous online retailers who claim their products are derived from industrial hemp and therefore legal. Although the Drug Enforcement Administration considers non-Epidiolex CBD a Schedule I drug, it has so far not taken action to shut down these sales.
Malt liquor, in North America, is beer with high alcohol content. Legally, it often includes any alcoholic beverage with 5% or more alcohol by volume made with malted barley. In common usage, it refers to beers containing a high alcohol content, generally above 6%, which are made with ingredients and processes resembling those for American-style lagers.
"More Bounce to the Ounce" is a song performed by American funk band Zapp. It is the opening track on their eponymous debut album and serves as the album's first single. The song was written, arranged, composed and produced by Roger Troutman; and it peaked at #86 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980.The song is featured in the 2002 Rockstar video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and the 2018 South Park episode "A Boy and a Priest".
The song title was taken from a 1950s Pepsi ad campaign of the same name.
Per Fine Ounce is the title of an unpublished novel by Geoffrey Jenkins featuring Ian Fleming's James Bond. It was completed c.1966 and is considered a "lost" novel by fans of James Bond because it was actually commissioned by Glidrose Productions, the official publishers of James Bond. It was rejected for publication, however, missing the opportunity to become the first continuation James Bond novel. The Adventures of James Bond Junior 003½, a novel written by the pseudonymous R. D. Mascott, was later published in 1967 featuring James Bond's nephew; Colonel Sun written by Kingsley Amis under the pseudonym Robert Markham was published in 1968 as the first adult continuation novel following Ian Fleming's The Man with the Golden Gun (1965).
The Pittman Act was a United States federal law sponsored by Senator Key Pittman of Nevada and enacted on April 23, 1918. The act authorized the conversion of not exceeding 350,000,000 standard silver dollars into bullion and its sale, or use for subsidiary silver coinage, and directed purchase of domestic silver for recoinage of a like number of dollars. Under the Act, 270,232,722 standard silver dollars were converted into bullion (259,121,554 for sale to Great Britain at $1.00 per fine ounce, plus mint charges, and 11,111,168 for subsidiary silver coinage), the equivalent of about 209,000,000 fine ounces of silver. Between 1920 and 1933, under the Act, the same quantity of silver was purchased from the output of American mines, at a fixed price of $1 per ounce, from which 270,232,722 standard silver dollars were recoined. The fixed price of $1 per ounce was above the market rate and acted as a federal subsidy to the silver mining industry.Further provisions relating to silver coinage were contained in the Thomas Amendment to the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933.
The majority of U.S. customary units were redefined in terms of the meter and the kilogram with the Mendenhall Order of 1893 and, in practice, for many years before. These definitions were refined by the international yard and pound agreement of 1959.Americans primarily use customary units in commercial activities, as well as for personal and social use. In science, medicine, many sectors of industry, and some of government and military, metric units are used. The International System of Units (SI), the modern form of the metric system, is preferred for many uses by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). For newer units of measure where there is no traditional customary unit, international units are used, sometimes mixed with customary units, such as electrical resistance of wire expressed in ohms (SI) per thousand feet.

Apps Axe Hits Mark, be Prepared for China's Response
July 02, 2020 ; By: New Indian Express
If the Chinese government's reactions and that of the Global Times, the Chinese communist party's mouthpiece, are anything to go by, then the Indian government's ban on 59 Chinese apps is hurting them. While the government said it was concerned over the development, the newspaper's editor appeared to mock India, claiming that even if the Chinese people wanted to boycott Indian products and goods, they would find it difficult to find them. Clearly, India can assume that Monday night's action in retaliation for the ongoing face-off in eastern Ladakh has achieved its purpose. Read More…

New report on SMEs
Scottish start-ups hit by ongoing uncertainty over Brexit
Paul Kiddie, News Reporter | September 9, 2019
Warning: Mark Hart
The number of new start-ups in Scotland fell sharply last year and established firms scaled back their growth ambitions due to Brexit uncertainty, according to new data looking at the health of the grassroots economy.
The findings have emerged from the Enterprise Research Centre's UK Local Growth Dashboard report, an annual publication that looks at a range of metrics charting the growth of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which account for 99% of all firms in the UK.
It found that in 2018 – the most recent period available in the ONS' Business Structure Database – the number of new start-ups in Scotland fell by nearly 2,000, representing a decline of 10.9% on the previous year (from 17,959 to 16,001).
Across the UK as a whole, the equivalent figure was almost 42,000, a decline of 12.9% (from 325,900 to 284,000). But in some parts of the country the fall was much sharper. In south western Scotland – an area covering Greater Glasgow and authorities to the south and west – the fall was 13.6%.
Even greater drops were seen in other parts of the UK: In Northern Ireland as a whole the figure was 15% lower than in 2017. Meanwhile in England, Swindon and Wiltshire saw the biggest absolute drop – with 45% fewer start-ups established. Just three areas saw an increase in start-ups – the North of Northern Ireland (+2.6%), Liverpool (+2.8%) and Worcestershire (+9.2%).
Today's research said the slowdown in new firm creation reflected the uncertainty around Brexit, and warned that the ongoing lack of clarity was also blunting growth ambitions in more established firms.
Other key findings for Scotland from the UK Local Growth Dashboard report show that a total of 16,001 new firms were started in 2018, while the three-year survival rate for start-ups stood at 52.9%, slightly below the UK average figure of 55.1%. Start-up survival rates since 2015 were generally higher in the South of England and Northern Ireland.
The report also said that among scale-ups, just 1.6% of new Scottish firms managed to grow their turnover to £1 million or more within three years between 2015-18. The UK average was 2.0%, with the highest proportion in the North of Nothern Ireland (4.6%). For established Scottish firms with a turnover between £1m and £2m, 5.5% managed to grow above the £3m mark over three years. This was below the UK average of 7.4%.
Findings also showed that the proportion of Scottish firms that succeeded in growing their productivity, with turnover increasing faster than headcount, slipped slightly to 7.3% in 2015-18, below the UK average of 8.3%. Northern Ireland saw the highest proportion of firms growing productivity, followed by London, Cambridge and major city-regions in the north of England including Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield.
Mark Hart, ERC deputy director and professor of small business and entrepreneurship at Aston Business School, said: "The latest Local Growth Dashboard analysis shows some clear warning signs about the health of the private sector economy right across the UK.
"It's particularly worrying that we're seeing an absolute decline in the number of new businesses being started in the wake of the 2016 referendum and this is a trend we're also observing in the data for Scotland.
"Budding entrepreneurs are clearly holding their breath waiting for some clarity about the outcome of Brexit, but if the trend continues we'll see fewer jobs created by dynamic young firms.
"And while established firms are clearly still growing successfully in many parts of the country, it's frustrating that productivity growth still seems to elude the vast majority.
"Taken together, it seems hard to avoid the conclusion that Brexit uncertainty is causing the grassroots economy to stutter. This may not yet have fed through to employment numbers but policymakers need to be aware of the warning signs and create the certainty businesses are craving."
UPDATE 10 Sept: A report from CYBG is significantly more encouraging for the sector. The bank's SME Health Check Index score has fallen again over the second quarter of the year and is now at an all-time low.
However, Scotland bucked the trend, rising by 6.1 points to 41.9 in Q2, largely recovering the losses recorded in the first quarter of the year. This increase is the second highest in the UK, behind only the South West of England.

Acquisition of new equipment, equipment replacement or upgrading, and any expansion, are expenses for which the Government pays only part of the cost. The community's support is necessary to meet the ever growing cost of keeping its hospitals up to date.

TA and Evercore Extend Partnership to Promote Diverse Representation in Private Equity and Investment Banking
BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TA, a leading global growth private equity firm, and Evercore, a premier global independent investment banking advisory firm, recently launched the second year of TA-CORE, a partnership to promote greater diversity in the private equity and investment banking industries. TA-CORE focuses on expanding the diversity pipeline within investment banking and private equity by providing education, access and career opportunities to young professionals from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. Participants in the program benefit from more than five years of mentorship at Evercore and TA, enabling them to build subject matter expertise in an entrepreneurial environment, gain exposure to marquee transactions and foster their professional networks.
To be considered for the TA-CORE program, interested undergraduates must first apply for and be accepted into Evercore's Summer Analyst Internship Program and, upon completion, be offered a position in Evercore's post-graduation, two-year Analyst Program. Once accepted as an Evercore Summer Analyst, candidates from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, including those that identify as Black, Hispanic or Latino, and/or American Indian/Alaskan Native, have an opportunity to learn about TA and the private equity industry through a series of learning sessions and networking activities. If interested, eligible candidates then apply and interview for TA's three-year Associate Program, to begin after their commitment to Evercore. As an Associate, selected individuals would be involved in all stages of the investment process, including deal origination, deal execution and portfolio work within one of TA's five core industries.
In 2021, the first year of TA-CORE, eight eligible candidates from the pool of incoming Evercore Analysts participated in informational sessions and networking events hosted by TA. Two TA-CORE participants were ultimately selected and will join TA as Associates in 2024, following their two-year placement with Evercore that begins in June 2022.
"My experience throughout the TA-CORE program has been both highly informative and enjoyable. I have particularly appreciated the transparent insights about the growth equity space and what makes TA unique," shared Jordan James, a TA-CORE participant selected in 2021. "The opportunity to visit TA's Boston office and learn about the culture in person was particularly valuable. I was able to engage directly with the TA team about their different experiences in private equity, which furthered my interest in joining the firm after Evercore. I look forward to growing both my competence as a finance professional and my understanding of growth equity over the next five years with both Evercore and TA."
TA and Evercore aim to build on TA-CORE's momentum for its second year, with an expanded schedule for 2022 that will feature more in-person networking, in accordance with local COVID-19 protocols. To date, 21 eligible candidates have chosen to participate, more than doubling the number of candidates in 2021.
"Teams with diverse backgrounds are critical to driving performance, promoting innovation and enabling the change we want to see in our industry and society," said Jason Werlin, a Managing Director at TA and Co-Head of TA's North America Technology Group. "As a leader in our industry, we believe that we must help foster diversity in the next generation of private equity professionals. That starts by educating young, diverse students about the industry and providing greater opportunity for underrepresented groups. We are excited about the meaningful impact TA-CORE will have on the talented participants, TA and the industry as a whole."
"Evercore and TA both value a partnership where talented candidates can start highly competitive roles upon undergraduate graduation," said Naveen Nataraj, Senior Managing Director at Evercore. "This initiative is aligned with Evercore's commitment to sustaining a strong culture of inclusion that embraces diversity and creates opportunities for all employees. We look forward to building on the success of TA-CORE thus far and establishing pathways to success for our participants."
TA and Evercore are equal opportunity employers committed to diversity and inclusion. The firms are pleased to consider all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, protected veteran status, Aboriginal/Native American status or any other legally-protected factors.

Q: Different Android app version in different countries I have an app that needs to be approved by certain regulatory agencies in different countries before it can be released.  I don't see a way to pick when an update goes live to a particular country on the Play Store.  Is this possible?
So for example, let's say I have Foo 1.0 on the Play Store now.  I want to release Foo 1.1 in the USA, but delay it in Canada for a year because I have to get it approved by their regulatory agency first.  Is there a way to do that without having a "Foo USA" and a "Foo Canada" as separate apps?

A: You could create multiple google play store entries, restrict them by country. That would require creating different apps that would use the same code and only differ in package name and singing keys that would come from flavours config.
But that would have con of having multiple store entries, which effectively be separate apps.

Sun announced the open-source Java Development Kit recently. It's under the GPLv2 license and it looks like they want to capture the open-source community.
This could be a really interesting period since Java may start to gain even more traction as more people become involved in its development. Hopefully meaning slicker VMs being released.
OpenBSD are currently merging this release into their codebase. I imagine others will not be far behind. I hope it means that it becomes well supported on many platforms.
You can see the OpenJDK website here.

(漫才?) és un estil tradicional d'espectacle còmic en directe de la cultura japonesa.

El terme Manzai normalment implica dos actors (manzaishi)—un home recte (tsukkomi) i un home graciós (boke)— realitzant acudits a gran velocitat. La majoria dels acudits giren al voltant de malentesos mutus, doble-xerrada, jocs amb figures retòriques i altres gags verbals.

En els darrers temps, el manzai ha estat sovint associat amb la regió d'Osaka, i els comediants manzai sovint parlen en el dialecte kansai durant les seves actuacions.

Yoshimoto Kogyo, un gran centre d'oci situat a Osaka, va introduir l'estil-Ozaka del manzai al públic de Tòquio, i va adoptar el terme "漫才" (una de les diverses maneres d'escriure la paraula manzai en japonès) el 1933.

Història
Originalment el Manzai se centrava al voltant d'un festival per donar la benvinguda al nou any, manzai traça els seus orígens dins del període Heian. El dos manzai intèrprets arribaven amb missatges dels déus i això va acabar com una tradició, amb un intèrpret que mostra alguna classe d'oposició a la paraula de l'altre. Aquest patró encara existeix en les funcions del boke i el tsukkomi.

Continuant al període Edo, l'estil va enfocar-se cada cop més en els aspectes d'humor, i diverses regions del Japó van desenvolupar els seus estils propis de manzai, com Owari manzai (尾張万歳?),  (三河万歳?), i  (大和万歳?). Amb l'arribada del Període Meiji, l' (大阪万才?) va introduir canvis que veurien augmentar la popularitat envers els estils del període anterior, tot i que el rakugo era encara considerat la forma més popular de diversió.

Amb el final del període Taishō, Yoshimoto Kōgyō—que ell mateix va fundar el 1912—va introduir un estil nou de manzai molt deslligat de la celebració a la que havia estat acompanyada anteriorment. Aquest estil nou va ser un èxit i es va estendre per tot el Japó, incloent Tòquio. A finals del  aprofitant les noves eines de comunicació, el manzai es va estendre molt de pressa a través dels mitjans com escenes, ràdio, televisió i videojocs.

Etimologia
El kanji per manzai ha estat escrit en diverses maneres per totes les èpoques. Originalment va ser escrit com a (萬歳?, literalment Deu mil anys o banzai, que vol dir com "llarga vida"), utilitzant la forma arcaica del caràcter 万 (el qual va ser canviat aviat). L'arribada de l'Osaka manzai va portar un altre canvi de caràcter, aquest cop canviant el darrer caràcter a un més senzill 才, el qual porta el significat bàsic de "talent".

Manzais notables
 Downtown (owari)
 Takeshi Kitano: Cineasta japonés, presentador de televisió, i anteriorment actor manzai  al grup "Two Beats". El Manzai és esmentat i referenciat en nombrosos treballs seus.

When we were young, my folks often took us for day trips on the weekends. We went to places in town; it seems like the art and natural history museums and the aquarium were popular spots because I recall them so well. We probably went to each one several times a year. I'll try to write about those trips another day.
We also went on long drives. My mom loved to go riding out of the city to watch the countryside roll by. Later on, as an adult, I wondered about that: my dad was a traveling salesman and drove all week long, but I never heard him begrudge my mom these outings and he did all the driving. On some of the trips we we stopped and saw interesting sites or went to roadside farm stands, but other times we would just drive for a few hours and then turn around and toodle on back home.
Anyway, we played spoken games while motoring along. Sometimes just us kids, and other times my folks would join in, too. There was the standard license plate game, trying to see how many different states' plates we could spot. My dad was good at that one; I think he might have played it solo while driving around during the week. He always knew what all the other states' plates looked like. It was easier back then; each state only had one style of plate for most cars, though many states changed their lettering and background colors each year.
And there was the geography game: first player names a geographic location, then the next person has to come up with one that starts with the last letter of the previous place, and so on. I think we allowed any geographic name—cities, states, countries, provinces, and also rivers, oceans, mountains, and so on—but restrictions could be added. Sure loved that game. My sister and I studied up for it for a while, looking up interesting town names on world maps. We probably started doing that to learn names of places that start with A, and don't end with A. A lot of place names that start with A end with it, or at least a lot of the ones we knew then. Plus it seems to me that a lot of other places that didn't start with A still ended with it, so it was easy to get stuck in the A's. I don't recall many of the interesting names we learned any longer, except that I will always remember that there's a town in Australia called Humpty Doo. We played other games in the car, too, or just fooled around sometimes, but the geography game was a biggie and we often returned to it.
December, as each year ends, and January, as another year starts, bring out a lot of talk about goals and plans, and hopes, dreams, and aspirations, for hearth and home, for work, for family life, for spirit, for health, for, well, everything. This has started me thinking, not about major life changing goals, although that would probably be a good idea, too, but about simpler things.
I want to pay more attention to the pleasant small things in my life. I tend to rush around or run on autopilot a lot. I run through chores while dwelling on the next thing I need to do or maybe thinking of some larger issue. That's a good thing sometimes; I need to work that way through some of my morning routine, to get a lot done at home before leaving for work; I'd rather it go quickly as opposed to having to wake up earlier (I rise at 6am as it is). And it helps make morning chores more palatable, at least for me. I know there's honor in honest work, really, I do, but that doesn't mean I want to dwell over cleaning out cat bowls and litter pans, or even brushing teeth.
But I don't need to ignore things around me all the time. I know I don't really do that — who can? — but sometimes it feels that way.
And one more thing: noticing the myriad of other wonderful bits of life I haven't listed.
What are the sweet little things in your life? There's likely more than you realize.

What is erythema dyschromicum perstans?
Erythema dyschromicum perstans is a benign skin condition characterised by well-circumscribed round to oval or irregular patches on the face, neck and trunk that are grey in colour. It is a form of acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation. Erythema dyschromicum perstans is also called ashy dermatosis (of Ramirez), because of its colour.
The pigmented patches may be symmetrical in distribution or unilateral.
Early lesions may be reddish in colour, often with a more pronounced border, and they may be somewhat elevated. This phase is not always observed.
The patient is otherwise well with no associated disease or blood test abnormality.
Who gets erythema dyschromicum perstans?
Erythema dyschromicum perstans most often affects darker skinned patients, most frequently Latin Americans and Indians. It has also been reported in people of lighter skin colour and various ethnicities.
Erythema dyschromicum perstans may occur at any age but it appears to be more frequent in young adults. Women are affected more often than men.
What causes erythema dyschromicum perstans?
An adverse effect of drugs and medications.
What is the differential diagnosis of erythema dyschromicum perstans?
Several other skin conditions may appear similar to erythema dyschromicum perstans because they also result in discoloured skin patches.
How is erythema dyschromicum perstans diagnosed?
In some cases, the clinical picture of erythema dyschromicum perstans may be classical enough to diagnose the condition. A skin biopsy may reveal minor vacuolar degeneration of the basal layer in early lesions, and pigmentary incontinence with dermal melanophages in more established patches.
What is the treatment of erythema dyschromicum perstans?
Erythema dyschromicum perstans is rather resistant to currently available treatments. It may persist unchanged for years although some cases eventually clear up by themselves.
The most successful systemic treatment has been clofazimine. Dapsone, griseofulvin, hydroxychloroquine, isoniazid and corticosteroids have been used successfully in a few cases.

Can Robert Simonds make STX Entertainment be the Next Major Studio in Hollywood?
CSG Group > Blog > Entertainment > Can Robert Simonds make STX Entertainment be the Next Major Studio in Hollywood?
May 24, 2018 Tom Clark
STX Entertainment has its new office in one of the tallest buildings in Burbank which literally towers over the competition. One can take a great view at Warner Bros, Disney and Universal from the windows of this start up i.e. STX Entertainment. It is its gleaming headquarters in Burbank.
The view is awesome and emblematic of STX Entertainments ambitions. Yes, as the title suggests, the ambition of STX Entertainment is to be the next major Hollywood studio. STX was launched by the famous film producer Robert Simonds who is also known as Bob Simonds, along with Bill McGlashan who is also the managing partner of TPG.
The two have taken a forward step to start this STX Entertainment with a mission to fulfill the goal in an entertainment business which has become budget fixated with super hero epics.
Also, the studio have plans in producing films in a strict budget of $20 million to $80 million by casting the big name and fame actors. The company has also aimed to release up to or even more than 15 films per year. This was decided last year i.e. 2017. To satisfy and achieve this goal, the company has also started and queued up projects with Matthew McConaughey, Julia Roberts, director Gary Ross and "The Purge" producer Jason Blum.
The company has a strong financial back up and capital from the co founder of TPG and also other investors like Hony Capital that is a private equity firm from China, Gigi Pritzker, Beau Wringley who is the CEO of WM, Dominic Ng who is the Chairmen of East west Bank, Liberty Global and others. The company is also financed by Huayi Brothers. Huayi Brothers have intentions of spending nearly $1.1 billion annually on producing, marketing and self-distributing its films by 2017.
This company also deals with Showtime Networks and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Still the decision which was made by Robert Simonds and Bill McGlashan is worth to having hats off. Hollywood is having companies which are launched and once the project starts they either collapse or are faltered.
Today, the company which was started in 1994 by Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg is operating as a glorified production company. In addition to that the company headed by Ryan Kavanaugh, is continually hustling in raising the money even though it has few hits on its name. Many others production companies are on the same page. Orion Pictures and Savoy Pictures are amongst them which can only be remembered as memories now.

The Greek Chorus Takes the Stage
February 10, 2020 ~ leighwintermartin
The functions of the Review, as they appear at the outset, are mainly these: to present in brief form a resume of the more important features of the daily life at Williams; to discuss the conditions and tendencies of that life from an alumni standpoint; and to maintain an efficient department of alumni news. Other functions may be added to these in course of time, such as the printing of correspondence of graduates, or the securing of articles on special topics by competent authorities, but the aim will always be to publish a paper by and for the alumni of Williams College.
Our attitude will be, in all probability, much like that of a chorus in a Greek play — taking notice of the actions going forward on the stage, commenting upon them now and then, but never (to use an expressive slang phrase) "butting in."
First and last, we are devoted to Williams College, well pleased as to its present, and optimistic toward its future.
On the 50th anniversary of this publication, the son of this publication's original editor will take stock of how well it has delivered on its mission to date, revisiting the Greek chorus metaphor in a lovely, very Williams way. But we'll get to that later.
The Editor wishes to return thanks for the words of commendation and kindly criticism which have come to him since the issuing of the first number of the Williams Alumni Review. To those who have sent us items of alumni news we are especially grateful. To make this department of the paper a success we must depend largely upon the help received from Williams alumni everywhere, and to this fact we beg once more to call the attention of our readers. We do not expect, however, to subordinate unduly the statement and discussion of the College news; our object is to make the Review a means of keeping Williams graduates in touch with the College and with each other.
What starts as a handful of pages of news in the early issues will steadily grow, eventually meriting a split into an entire publication of its own, Williams People.
The steadily increasing circulation of the Review, not only by reason of the growing enrolment of the Alumni Athletic Association (whose members receive the magazine in return for their annual dues), but because of new subscriptions from the general body of the alumni, is a source of sincere gratification to those concerned in the conduct of the undertaking. If this broader field means the beginning of a closer touch of Williams men with each other and with the College, to a mutual and lasting benefit, the career of the Review has thus far been not in vain.
As the first year closes out, the editor expresses his appreciation of this taking hold. As do I.

Q: Database insert error: "string or binary data would be truncated" When I log in, I am storing my username in the session. My requirement is that I want to store my username in my database. Here I am storing it in username1. When the username is entered, I can print it using response.write() and it is printing perfectly. However, when I am storing it in the database it is producing this error:

**sqlException was unhandled by user code
and exception at       cmd.ExecuteScalar();
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.**

Following is my ado.net code:
using (SqlConnection con =
    new SqlConnection("Data Source=.;database=testdb1;Integrated Security=SSPI")) {

    con.Open();
    //  SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("delete from fileinfo where ID=" + Convert.ToInt32(Request.Params["one"]), con);

    string uname = (string) Session["fname"].ToString() + " " + Session["lname"].ToString(); //Session["fname"].ToString()+" "+Session["lname"].ToString();

    // Response.Write(uname);
    // uname = "sri hari";
    uname = uname + " ";
    string uname1 = uname;
    uname = uname.Trim();
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into qry_details values('" + txt_query_name.Text + "','pending for approval','" + txt_query_description.Text + "','" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") + "','" + qry + "','" + uname1 + "')", con);
    cmd.ExecuteScalar();
}

A: check the length of qry_details table and see if its smaller than the string you send to the db?
basically the exception says you are trying to something bigger than the column length.

A: I would recommend you using a parametrized query. Your code is now vulnerable to SQL injection. Also you should use the ExecuteNonQuery method on the SQL command instead of ExecuteScalar when inserting values to the database:
var connectionString = "Data Source=.;database=testdb1;Integrated Security=SSPI";
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
using (SqlCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand())
{
    con.Open();
    cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO qry_details VALUES (@query_name, 'pending for approval', @query_description, @date, @qry, @username)";
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@query_name", txt_query_name.Text);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@query_description", txt_query_description.Text);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@date", DateTime.Now);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@qry", qry);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@username", uname1);
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

A: This error mostly happen when the inserting value is larger than the field width defined in table on SQL Server.
Check if you are inserting date and time using DateTime.Now c# fuction, your Table must be of type DateTime. not Date or Time only.

FDA Panel to Vote on Risk of AEDs
by Emily P. Walker Emily P. Walker, Washington Correspondent, MedPage Today January 24, 2011
WASHINGTON -- Injuries and deaths from malfunctioning automated external defibrillators (AEDs) could have been avoided if the devices were approved through a more stringent review process, FDA staff reviewers said.
On Tuesday, an agency advisory committee will vote on whether AEDs, now in the high-risk Class III device category, should be moved into a less-risky class, or remain where they are and be subject to the stringent premarket approval application (PMA) process.
Currently AEDs are allowed to enter the market through the 510(k) process, which allows device-makers to bypass the traditional approval pathway and show only that their product is substantially similar to one already on the market.
In 2009, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) recommended that the 510(k) process not be available for Class III devices. Such devices, the GAO said, should either be reclassified into the less-risky Class II category or be required to follow the PMA process.
In an analysis released Monday, FDA staff reviewers concluded that the devices should remain in the Class III category, given that AED malfunctions have been responsible for thousands of injuries and as many as 721 deaths over the past five years.
The low-energy devices -- which analyze heart rhythm, identify whether it's shockable or not, and either deliver or advise the operator to deliver an electrical shock -- are now found in many public places, where they are intended for use by the general public on victims of sudden cardiac arrest.
The FDA reviewers noted that 300,000 people go into sudden cardiac arrest each year and, bystander use of AEDs saves 474 lives per year, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
But the FDA has received more than 23,000 reports of AEDs malfunctioning, including some instances where the devices failed to work at all and reports from manufacturers indicate there were 721 deaths resulting from AED malfunction between 2005 and 2010.
And there have been 68 recalls of AEDs in the past five year, affecting hundreds of thousands of devices, FDA reviewers wrote.
The FDA found that more than half of the recalls occurred because of incompatible device components, such as a manufacturer ordering a component that the vendor had changed, unbeknownst to the manufacturer. Nearly 40% of the recalls occurred because of design issues.
"The majority of recalls that have occurred since 2005 can be mainly attributed to issues associated with the firm's handling of purchasing controls or design controls" FDA reviewers said.
The FDA staff also recommended the agency do a premarket review of AED manufacturer procedures, perform pre-approval inspections, review any changes in manufacturing facilities, and require manufacturers to annually report any changes in their manufacturing process or design.
The reviewers noted that there was a "minority FDA perspective" that AED technology is constantly evolving, and new versions of AEDS are being developed, so "future regulation under the PMA regulations may be overly restrictive and may slow the pace of improved AED technology reaching the marketplace."
That minority view recommended reclassifying the devices to Class II, which allows for 510(k) clearance instead of a PMA.
