Ludomir Skórewicz (ur. 4 kwietnia 1902 w Baku, zm. 20 lub 21 czerwca 1940 w Palmirach) – polski prawnik, uczestnik walk o granice w latach 1918–1921, starosta grodzki i powiatowy z okresu II Rzeczypospolitej, ofiara zbrodni w Palmirach.

Życiorys
Był synem Kazimierza Skórewicza i Rafaeli z Rutkowskich. Gdy miał cztery lata, jego rodzina przeprowadziła się z Baku do Warszawy. W latach 1912–1920 pobierał nauki w gimnazjum im. Pawła Chrzanowskiego. W 1912 przystąpił do rodzącego się ruchu skautowego, w późniejszym okresie należał natomiast do 2 Warszawskiej Drużyny Harcerskiej im. Tadeusza Rejtana. W okresie szkolnym związał się również z młodzieżowymi organizacjami niepodległościowymi. W latach 1915–1920 był członkiem Organizacji Młodzieży Narodowej, gdzie pokonując kolejne szczeble w strukturze organizacyjnej doszedł do stanowiska prezesa Zarządu Głównego. Od 1916 roku działał również w szeregach konspiracyjnego PET. W 1917 roku, z powodu udziału w demonstracji urządzonej w proteście przeciw wywiezieniu Józefa Piłsudskiego do Magdeburga, został na krótko uwięziony przez okupacyjne władze niemieckie.

W październiku 1918, w związku z rysującą się klęską państw centralnych, organizował Zbrojne Pogotowie Młodzieży (ZPM). Pełnił funkcję komendanta okręgu warszawskiego ZPM. 10 listopada 1918 wraz z kolegami rozbroił niemiecki garnizon parku samochodowego oraz stajen w Belwederze, przekazując następnie zarekwirowane pojazdy i konie tworzącemu się Wojsku Polskiemu. Po rozbrojeniu wojsk niemieckich w Warszawie organizował drużyny ZPM, pełniące służbę wartowniczą na dworcach kolejowych oraz przy obiektach o znaczeniu strategicznym. Po zdaniu egzaminu maturalnego wstąpił ochotniczo w szeregi Wojska Polskiego (wiosna 1920). Został wówczas przydzielony do Dowództwa Kwatery Naczelnego Wodza. W listopadzie 1920 został zdemobilizowany. Rozpoczął studia na Wydziale Prawa i Administracji Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, które jednak szybko przerwał, aby wziąć udział w III powstaniu śląskim. W składzie I dywizjonu artylerii Grupy "Północ" uczestniczył m.in. w bitwie o Górę św. Anny.

Po zakończeniu powstania Skórewicz powrócił na studia. W listopadzie 1924 uzyskał dyplom magistra prawa, a trzy miesiące później został aplikantem Sądu Apelacyjnego w Warszawie. Pokonując kolejne szczeble doszedł do stanowiska podprokuratora warszawskiego Sądu Okręgowego. Około 1930 roku objął funkcję zastępcy naczelnika wydziału bezpieczeństwa publicznego w Komisariacie Rządu na m.st. Warszawę. W lutym 1933 został powołany na stanowisko starosty grodzkiego warszawskiej dzielnicy Praga. W czasie wielkiej powodzi, która dotknęła Warszawę w lipcu 1934, kierował sztabem akcji przeciwpowodziowej. W latach 1935–1936 piastował stanowisko starosty powiatu toruńskiego, pełniąc jednocześnie obowiązki starosty grodzkiego miasta Torunia. W 1937 został przeniesiony na Polesie, gdzie sprawował funkcję starosty powiatu koszyrskiego. Z tej funkcji został zwolniony we wrześniu 1937. Powrócił następnie do Warszawy, gdzie po odbyciu aplikacji został wpisany na listę adwokatów tamtejszego Sądu Apelacyjnego (1938).

Skórewicz należał do grona bliskich współpracowników Adama Skwarczyńskiego. W październiku 1933 wraz z trzema innymi zwolennikami Skwarczyńskiego – Witoldem Ipohorskim-Lenkiewicz, Ludomirem Rubachem i B. Wroną – założył wydawane własnym sumptem pismo "Czerwona Róża". Skórewicz, występujący pod pseudonimem "Wit Grot", był autorem większości artykułów wstępnych. Po wydaniu czterech numerów pismo przestało wychodzić (1934); jego wydawanie wznowiono jednak w maju 1938. Do 1 sierpnia 1939 ukazało się trzynaście numerów reaktywowanego czasopisma. Skórewicz – ujawniwszy swój wcześniejszy pseudonim – pisał już wówczas pod własnym nazwiskiem.

Na temat losów Skórewicza w pierwszych miesiącach II wojny światowej nie zachowało się zbyt wiele informacji. 16 kwietnia 1940 został aresztowany przez Gestapo. Był więziony na Pawiaku. 20 lub 21 czerwca 1940 został zamordowany w Palmirach wraz z 357 innymi przedstawicielami polskiej inteligencji, aresztowanymi przez Niemców w ramach Akcji AB. Jego szczątki spoczywają na cmentarzu-mauzoleum w Palmirach.

Był żonaty z Martą Perzyńską. Para nie miała dzieci.

BEFORE THE LAST RIDE OF A DYING WOMAN!
What do you need to feel happy? Where would you be in order to feel joyful? How many times people let you down? How many times you and I let others down because we think we have enough in our plates? Today is the day to share with you a story brought to my attention by a co-worker. I wish you take a few minutes to read it and I thank you for doing so.
"I arrived at the address and honked the horn. After waiting a few minutes I honked again. Since this was going to be the last ride of my shift I thought about just driving away, but instead I put the car in park and walked up to the door and knocked. 'Just a minute,' answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90's stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940's movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In a corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
'Would you carry my bag out to the car?' She said. I took the suitcase to the cab and then return to assist the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb. She kept thanking me for my kindness. ''It's nothing,' I told her, 'I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.' 'Oh, you are such a good boy,' she said. When we got to the cab, she gave me and address and asked, 'Could you drive through downtown?' It's not the shortest way,' I answered quickly. 'Oh, I don't mind,' she said. 'I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice.' I looked in the rearview mirror. Her eyes were glistening.
'I don't have any family left,' she continued in a soft voice. 'The doctor says I don't have very long.' I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. 'What route would you like me to take?' I asked. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to stop in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness saying nothing. As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 'I'm tired. Let's go now.' We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico. Tow orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent as they watched her every move. They must have been expecting her. I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair. 'How much do I owe you?' she asked as she reached into her purse. 'Nothing,' I said. 'You have to make a living,' she answered. 'There are other passengers,' I responded.

Five Matches To Watch On Day 4 Of The Legg Mason Tennis Classic
By Ben Rothenberg Aug 5, 2010, 5:32pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Five Matches To Watch On Day 4 Of The Legg Mason Tennis Classic
On an already rain-soaked day in Washington, all sixteen remaining singles players will be in action. Here are the five matches which should prove to be the most awesome.
15 Mardy Fish (USA) vs 4 Marin Cilic (CRO) — Mardy Fish, despite being a much lower seed, should be the heavy favorite in this one. He's on an 11-match win streak, a stark contrast to the recently floundering Cilic.
13 Gilles Simon (FRA) vs 2 Andy Roddick (USA) — This is a real tricky match-up for Roddick, to be sure. Simon, who made the top ten and beat Roger Federer twice during his peak in late 2008, looked very impressive in his first match against Igor Kunitsyn, dropping only three games. Roddick's going to have to force the issue a lot more than he did in his first match if he's to come away with the win.
3 [WC] Fernando Verdasco (ESP) vs [Q] Ryan Sweeting (USA) — Ryan Sweeting will become the story of the tournament if he can pull off the upset over third-seeded Fernando Verdasco. Sweeting (a Bahamian-born American) has already won four matches in Washington, including main draw wins over James Blake and #14 seed Michael Llodra. Verdasco struggled in his first match of the tournament on Tuesday, needing to stave off two match points before he could put away unseeded Michael Berrer. If Sweeting can come out strong early, he could be able to pull off the biggest upset of the event so far.
[WC] David Nalbandian (ARG) vs Marco Chiudinelli (SUI) — This match won't be awesome in the sense that it will be close. But it will be awesome in the sense that Nalbandian has been playing more dominant tennis than anybody during this tournament so far (even though this is his first ATP event since April), and he should be able to deliver quite the beatdown to Chiudinelli.
1 Tomas Berdych (CZE) vs 16 Andrey Golubev (KAZ) — In a piece of truly inexplicable scheduling, Tomas Berdych, the #1 seed and recent Wimbledon finalist, is playing his third round match on Court 1, the smallest venue in use today for singles. Golubev shouldn't prove to be as tough a test for Berdych as Tursunov was yesterday, but either way Berdych is much too big of a name to be relegated to a court that seats about 200.
David Nalbandian Wins The Legg Mason Tennis Classic
Nalbandian Defeats Baghdatis 6-2, 7-6

0	Is Marketing Automation Software Right for Your Business?
Many people make the mistake of thinking that marketing automation software is just for for email marketing. Even though it certainly had its birth there, what we're referring to is a lot more sophisticated application.
When it became clear that some 93% of B2B buyers are using the search engines to begin their buying process, it was incumbent for businesses to find a way to streamline the inbound marketing process, and make it easier and less time intensive to look after.

Software such as this will not only get traffic to your site, but will also start them on the buying process with offers and relevant emails and other content. It can also segment your leads by source, interests and any other considerations.
The way this works is that the system relies on a complex series of rules to trigger action items; which can be either more content, a special offer, or follow-up email message. This provides the visitor precisely what they are looking for and frees up your staff for other tasks. One particularly crucial thing to note is that if you decide to go for a marketing automation software, there will have to be a obligation keeping the content funnel filled, as this is what it operates on.
If maintaining all the tasks you must do in your business is becoming a challenge, or you are simply looking to scale your small business, then marketing automation software might be right for you. Check into it today!
0	Which Email Marketing Application to Choose?
There's no more ignoring the fact that business is heading to where you live. You prove it to yourself daily you go out of the house armed with your smartphone, ready, willing and able to seek out and conduct business and pleasure while out and about. So, since this is where the business is, it makes sense to make sure your business is planted firmly in the path of this wave, and be able to profit from location based marketing.
Complete your local listings – According to Yext, businesses are losing at least $10.3 billion dollars a year simply by neglecting to get their business information updated and accessible on their profiles and sites. This is a cardinal sin, and one that ought to be addressed immediately. If your company is not being found, your competitors will be! Make sure you get your listings correct on sites like Google Local, Foursquare, Yelp, Facebook, MapQuest and any others you are using.
Reward reviews! – Rewarding reviews is a straightforward and cost-effective method to create terrific social proof, and make your current customers happy as well! You don't have to give away the store, and plenty of regular customers are all too happy to do this for free (but give them something anyway)!
Shower your customers with perks – In connection with the above, always make sure it is worth their while to come back repeatedly. There are lots of ways to do this including coupons, a loyalty program, backlinks and more.
Employ coupons and daily deals – Entrepreneur tells us that there are two ways that we can engage through location based marketing. One is by pushing ads out to them, and the other is by allowing your business to be in a position to be "discovered". Both are essential elements of a winning campaign.
Be responsive to your customers – Nothing speaks care like you talking back to customers or prospects who are asking questions. This shows you give a darn, and this also can mean extremely positive word of mouth! (or mouse) However, if you fail to do this and leave people unanswered, you'll soon feel their wrath!
Location-based marketing is a marvelous way to develop your presence in your local market. Start using it today!

Q: Optics of Vehicle Convex Mirrors I recently got in an argument with a friend while I was driving. When I moved to a different lane, I did not turn my head to check for any vehicles in my blind spot. Instead, how I checked was by leaning toward the rightmost region of the drivers wheel, looking into the left side mirror to see the field that is normally the blind spot when sitting upright. I've been doing this for several years, I imagine if I was wrong then surely I'd have gotten in an accident by now.
My friend, however, refuses to believe that works. He thinks the blind spot remains fixed no matter where the observer (driver) looks at the mirror or that at least it is not safe/effective as turning your head to look into your blind spot.
I understand mirrors in vehicles are convex mirrors, they slightly bulge out to increase the field of view for the observer (which is why objects appear closer in the mirror and why there is slight distortion). And I know as light hits the mirror, the mirror reflects it back outward. What I'm struggling with is how to explain that the position of the observer changes the blindspot.
How should I make my case?

A: I suggest that you start by drawing a small plane mirror in roughly the right position in relation to the driver, and draw a couple of rays reaching the driver by reflection (with angle of incidence = angle of reflection) to show how the blind spot arises. Then repeat for a convex mirror with exaggerated curvature. Even without using ruler and protractor (or a drawing application) you should be easily convinced that the blind spot phenomenon will be mitigated. Perhaps your friend will be convinced too.
But turning your head is never bad – unless you hit something in front of you, or injure your neck...

Who is William Gibson?
William Gibson is a speculative fiction writer who is often referred to as the "noir prophet" of the cyberpunk subgenre. In his short story "Burning Chrome" he introduced the word 'Cyber-punk' which was later popularized as a concept in his first novel, 'Neuromancer'. With a wandering childhood and the loss of his parents at an early age, Gibson went through a period of seclusion where he became influenced by the writers of the Beat Generation. After travelling all over the United States and Europe, he immigrated to Canada and immersed himself in the counterculture. He eventually settled in Vancouver and became a full-time writer. After writing many bleak, noir near-future stories, he finally wrote his first novel, 'Neuromancer', which garnered critical and commercial success. This novel was a beginning to the cyberpunk literary genre. His visualization of the cyberspace created a depiction of the information age even before the internet conquered the world. He wrote several famous novels in this genre and also contributed to film and television. Today, he is regarded as the most important North American science fiction writer who has contributed to the craft extensively in the past two decades. This influential author's work has impacted not just other science fiction writers, but also musicians, academicians and technologists.

He was born on March 17, 1948, as the son of the manager of a large construction company. Although Gibson was born in Conway, South Carolina, he lived in Virginia for most of his life as his family moved frequently due to his father's job.
While attending Pines Elementary School, he lost his father who choked on food in a restaurant and died.
By 1950, Gibson had already decided to be a science fiction writer and spent most of his time in his room, while he was attending George Wythe High School.
The following year, he read the works of Beat writers like Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs who deeply influenced his writing. He turned out to be a rebellious teenager and even refused to believe in religion.
He was sent by his mother to attend the Southern Arizona School for Boys in Tucson, Arizona.
At the age of eighteen, he lost his mother and dropped out of school before graduating. He became secluded during this time and travelled to California and Europe and discovered the 'counterculture'.

In 1967, Gibson moved to Canada and spent a lot of time homeless and jobless. Eventually, he found a job as a manager of the first head shop in Toronto.
By the early 1970s he was married with a child but he was still jobless and lived off his wife's earnings. Later in the 1970s, he made a living by selling the low priced artifacts from Salvation Army thrift stores at a higher price.
He soon enrolled at the University of British Columbia for a Bachelor Degree in English Literature and graduated in 1977. He enrolled for the course primarily to benefit from the financial aid offered to students.
After taking a short course in science fiction during his education, he wrote his first short story called 'Fragments of the Hologram Rose'.
After earning his Bachelor's degree, he took a break and produced the first collection of his short stories, appearing in 'Omni and Universe 11', in 1981. The 'Burning Chrome' was one of his famous stories from the collection.
He wrote 'Neuromancer' as a part of the third series of Ace Science Fiction Specials, featuring debut novels by different authors. The novel was released in 1984 and did not receive instant success. However, it soon found its audience and became a hit, winning several awards.
His next work, a sequel to 'Neuromancer' was called 'Count Zero' and was released in 1986. Two years later, he wrote 'Mona Lisa Overdrive' which was the third in the series and completed the Sprawl Trilogy.
His 'Dream Jumbo: Working the Absolutes'—text to accompany performance art by Robert Longo—was displayed at UCLA Center for the Performing Arts, Los Angeles, CA, 1989.
In 1990, he collaborated with Sterling, writing a short story 'The Angel of Goliad'. The story was extended into the novel 'The Difference Engine' the same year.
His second series was called the 'Bridge Trilogy'. He wrote the first novel in the series 'Virtual Light' in 1993. The same year, he wrote the lyrics and appeared as guest vocalist in the album 'Technodon' by Yellow Magic Orchestra.
Gibson's short story called 'John Mnemonic' was adapted into a movie of the same name, in 1995.
In 1996, he wrote 'Idoru' which was second in the 'Bridge Trilogy' series. Three years later, the last novel in the series 'All Tomorrow's Parties' was released.
He wrote the script for the film 'New Rose Hotel' which was released in 1998 and starred Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe, and Asia Argento.
He co-wrote two episodes of the television series 'The X-Files'. The episodes 'Kill Switch' and 'First Person Shooter' were aired in 1998 and 2000, respectively.
After a gap of few years, Gibson returned with his novel 'Pattern Recognition', in 2003. The book was the first novel set in a contemporary universe which he repeated in his following works.
He came out with his 'Spook Country' in 2007. This book was also set in the same universe and was hugely successful.
In 2010, he wrote the novel, 'Zero History' which also had the same setting like his previous two novels. All three books earned him a place in bestseller lists and made him a mainstream writer.
His latest novel is 'The Peripheral', released in 2014. The story of the novel deals in two eras, one about thirty years into the future and the other further in the future.

Biografia
Pochissimo si sa di questa pittrice.

Carlo Cesare Malvasia, ripreso in seguito da Luigi Crespi, segnala nel suo Felsina pittrice che Veronica Franchi frequentò la bottega d'arte bolognese per donne gestita da Elisabetta Sirani. Al pari di alcune sue colleghe tra cui Ginevra Cantofoli, Lucrezia Scarfaglia, Vincenza Fabbri e Maria Elena Panzacchi, Veronica Franchi non proveniva da una famiglia di artisti e poté studiare disegno e pittura solo grazie alla scuola della Sirani, unicum bolognese nel panorama artistico dell'epoca.

Attiva a Bologna intorno al 1670 circa, questa artista prolifica si specializzò nei ritratti e nelle composizioni a carattere storico. Tra i suoi dipinti si ricordano in particolare una Cleopatra, una Lucrezia e un grande quadro con il Rapimento di Elena. Antonio Masini, Marcello Oretti e Luigi Crespi segnalano anche un Lot con le due figlie, una Galatea con i Tritoni, una Guerriera, unArtemisia che piange sopra le ceneri della madre e un Sant'Andrea.

Caduta nell'oblio, molte delle sue opere sono andate perdute, le sue opere potenzialmente esistenti sono ancora in fase di ricerca.

All About Mariano Rivera
In All About Mariano Rivera, early readers will learn all about this baseball legend. Born in a poor Panamanian fishing village, Mariano River Jr. did not think he would grow up to be a famous New York Yankees pitcher. In fact, he thought that he would follow his father into the fishing industry. After he replaced a poorly-performing pitcher during an amateur baseball game, the Yankees scout saw his talent.

When once asked to describe his job, Mariano simply stated, I get the ball, I throw the ball, and then I take a shower.
Since retiring, Mariano has devoted himself to philanthropy and his churches. He and his wife Clara sponsor college scholarships, a foundation to provide underprivileged children with educations, and various other projects.

Salmon in California are in trouble. Salmon populations in northern California are between 7 to 15 percent of their recovery goals, while southern California steelhead populations are below 0.5 percent of their recovery targets.
The Nature Conservancy, in partnership with the Department of Fish and Game, has been leading the effort to collect and publish data to generate support for the coastwide monitoring program, build awareness of the plight of salmon, and improve salmon conservation effectiveness. We were delighted to be chosen as their web development partner to create the first ever public repository of detailed information on salmon populations: California Salmon Snapshots.
The site includes extensive data on 37 watersheds in California. Designer Ginny Laughlin of Athena Design Group created the visual design, and Webvanta worked with Ginny and The Nature Conservancy staff to define and create a database structure to hold all the information. We implemented a fully responsive design, enabling this content-rich site to perform well on tablets and smartphones, as well as on desktop computers.
Collecting all of the information for the site was a big task for The Nature Conservancy team and its partners. The team was able to manage all the data on the site, without any technical skills, using Webvanta's form-based admin pages, customized to their database needs. The information will be updated periodically by the TNC staff.
The site also includes information on various restoration actions, accessed by clicking icons on a river image, as well as an extensive list of organizations involved with each watershed.
One fun feature of the site is the live salmon cam, which shows a live underwater view (during daylight hours) from the Nature Conservancy's Shasta Big Springs Ranch.
We love building content-rich websites, and when we can work with such a dedicated content team and help the salmon at the same time, it is especially satisfying!

Q: Calling a method with doasync task I can't figure out how to call last part of this method:
private static async Task ForEachFileAsync(string path, string searchPattern, SearchOption searchOption, Func<string, Task> doAsync)
{
    // Avoid blocking the caller for the initial enumerate call.
    await Task.Yield();

    foreach (string file in Directory.EnumerateFiles(path, searchPattern, searchOption))
    {
        await doAsync(file);
    }
}

This is what i have managed to do so far:
private void Stats_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     ForEachFileAsync(@"E:\Path", "*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly, what to put here? );
}

I Did not need an explanation of how System.Func works!! I only needed to know how to make a method call using  System.Func which WAS NOT found at "Can someone explain what the C# "Func<T,T>" does?".
Adriani6 answer was the best and most helpful. Thanks

A: Short answer: async (file) => /*perform async operation*/

As described on Microsoft Docs, a Func (Function) is used for specifying a method.
It's very similar to the way Action works, exception Actions returns Void, whereas Functions returns the last generic parameter. For example:
Func<int, int, string>
Would take the following method as an argument:
string AddNumbers(int value1, int value2)
{
    return (value1 + value2).ToString()
}

In the case of a Task, due to syntactic sugar implemented along with Tasks, you can perform the Await operations in a method marked as Async. For example:
Func<string, Task>
Would take the following method as an argument:
async Task AddNumbers(string url)
{
    var client = new HttpClient();
    await client.PostAsync(url);
}

Lamda expressions are shorthands for inline methods. So async (url) => await new HttpClient().PostAsync(url); is the same as the method written above.
In this case you'll probably just want to execute some asynchronous read/write operation on your hard drive.

A: You want to pass a delegate to that method which accepts a string and returns a Task.. taken from the signature System.Func<in T, out TResult>
private static Task DoSomething(string task)
{
    throw new NotImplementedException();
}

And you would put that reference to that method..
ForEachFileAsync(@"E:\Path", "*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly, (str) => DoSomething(str));

You obviously don't want throw new NotImplementedException(); in the body of DoSomething... you want to implement your own method.

LM Installs 1000th GKN Nacelle on Qatari AF C-130J
12.05.2011 North America
Lockheed Martin (LM) recently installed the 1000th GKN Aerospace-manufactured nacelle for their C-130J military airlifter on the second of four aircraft destined for the Qatar Emiri Air Force.
Production of the nacelle has taken place at the Company's Isle of Wight facility in the UK for the past 16 years. The latest 5 year contract extension, placed in April 2008, has required a move to a new production line in order to meet customer demand for an almost doubling in the pace of manufacture to over 36 full aircraft sets this year. In fact, GKN Aerospace is planning to deliver a total of 158 nacelles, including spares, this year and expects to reach 1500 nacelles delivered by mid-2013.
GKN Aerospace has been the sole source supplier to Lockheed Martin of the integrated nacelle system for the C-130J since December 1993. Prior to that the Company was a leading member of the UK Industrial Support Group and was responsible for the design changes required to move from the C-130H to the C-130J nacelle.
Jeff Armitage, Vice President and MD Nacelles, GKN Aerospace, commented: "Throughout more than a decade and a half we have worked with Lockheed Martin, continuously exploiting our experience and challenging accepted practice in order to improve product quality, manufacturing costs and production times. Our latest lean manufacturing initiative is examining the potential of a new assembly technology that will allow us to achieve the next significant production rate increases on the C-130. We are intensely proud of our long term partnership with Lockheed Martin on this programme and of what this says about our commitment to our customers and to consistently achieving the very best results."

The Kid brought down the house: It was a magical night for Williams at 1999 All-Game at Fenway Park
Hal Bock ASSOCIATED PRESS
One magical night three years ago, the best baseball players in the world were transfixed, turned once again into little kids, awed by the presence of an idol.
Ted Williams had that effect on people.
With the 1999 All-Star game to be played in Fenway Park, major league baseball had the great good sense to bring Williams back to Boston.
In the flower of his youth, when he was the best hitter in the world, this was his playground, his place, the ballpark he called home. So inviting him back was a no-brainer. Ted Williams would throw out the first pitch.
It was some show.
The 80-year-old Williams - weakened by a series of strokes, confined to a wheelchair, his eyesight failing - was driven through the center field gates in a green golf cart. The other greats had already been introduced - Aaron, Mays, Feller, Musial. And now it was time for the main event.
Williams' name brought down the house.
Thunderous cheers rolled down, section by section, an outpouring of emotion by fans who seemed to know this would be one last chance to salute a baseball icon.
So they stood to cheer him, not only in the stands but on the field, as well. And he waved his cap in acknowledgment.
Now the All-Stars began drifting toward him, as if drawn by a magnet. They converged at the pitcher's mound - Williams surrounded by a crowd of the game's best players, all of them looking now like so many sandlotters, tentative at first, like little kids about to meet a real major leaguer.
That's when the tears began to flow.
Williams was helped from the cart, steadied by Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr., each nearing the end of their own Hall of Fame careers. With Carlton Fisk, another Hall of Famer, crouched behind the plate wearing a suit and Red Sox cap, Williams tossed the ball to him.
Fisk jogged to the mound to hug a hero.
When the ceremony was over, the All-Stars surrounded Williams again, paying homage to one of baseball's greatest players. There was an outpouring of emotion, on the field and off.
"I don't think you could capture it any better than when you had all of baseball gathered around him on the field, in the golf cart," New York Yankees ace Roger Clemens said.
Knots of players crowded around Williams - players who had achieved their own fame - all of them almost dumbstruck by the game's last .400 hitter. They were slow to leave, trying to hang on to the moment, a memory that would last a lifetime.
"Tears were coming out of Ted's eyes," Colorado's Larry Walker said. "I had to turn away because tears were coming out my eyes, too."
Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra remembered the moment.
"It was really nice how people surrounded him," he said. "Nobody wanted to leave. It was one of those things when people appreciate the game."
Mark McGwire had broken the home run record the year before. Now he bent over to talk hitting with the master of the craft.
"When you have a chance to meet one of the best hitters in the game, and you see tears running down his eyes for the appreciation the fans and all of us gave him, it's quite a special time," McGwire said. "I'm just happy he knows who I am, and he talked to me."
Williams asked the slugger if he noticed the smell of wood, almost as if it were burning, when he fouled pitches off. It was a treasured memory he had of another time, a time when he made a study of the science of hitting.
McGwire said, yes, he did.
Williams always talked hitting. A year after the All-Star outpouring, he appeared at the Yogi Berra Museum where he met Ed Kranepool. His mind still sharp, he asked what to him seemed an obvious question.
"What was it like to hit against Sandy Koufax?" he wondered. "Threw overhand, didn't he?"
It was as if he wanted to know, just in case.

Q: Lighthill derivative of $f(x)=|x|^\alpha$ I am reading Lighthill's book 'An introduction to Fourier analysis and generalized functions' and it is not clear to me what the author writes on the first page of chapter 3:
$$ \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}|x|^\alpha = |x|^{\alpha-1} \text{sgn}(x) $$
The function $f(x)=|x|^\alpha$ ($\alpha>-1$), understood in the classical sense, is not differentiable in 0 when $\alpha <1$. If we understand it as a generalized function according to Lighthill's approach (definition 7 of his book), then its derivative exists and must be calculated in general by deriving the sequence of 'good functions' that defines the generalized function $f(x)$ (which I indicate with the same symbol).
However he does a different thing, stating that the result of the derivative written above
($f'(x)=|x|^{\alpha-1} \text{sgn}(x)$) can be obtained by directly deriving the function $f(x)$ understood in the classical sense, and then using theorem 10.
My doubt is: the hypotheses of Theorem 10 do not hold in this case, since the derivative in the classical sense $f'(x)$ does not exist in 0, and therefore the function is not derivable in all points of its domain of definition , which is necessary for the application of the theorem.

A: The theorem in question reads as follows:

Theorem (Theorem 10, Lighthill). If $f(x)$ is an ordinary differentiable function such that both $f(x)$ and $f'(x)$ satisfy the condition of definition 7, then the derivative of the generalised function formed from $f(x)$ is the generalised function formed from $f'(x)$.

The definition used here is as follows:

Definition (Definition 7, Lighthill). If $f(x)$ is a function of $x$ in the ordinary sense, such that $(1 + x^2)^{-N} f(x)$ is absolutely integrable from $-\infty$ to $\infty$ for some $N$, then the generalised function $f(x)$ is defined by a sequence $f_n(x)$ such that for any good function $F(x)$
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f_n(x) F(x) dx = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x) F(x) dx .$$

It seems that Lighthill assumes knowledge about "ordinary functions" and "ordinary differentiable functions", but does not prescribe exact definitions to these. Given some of the examples and discussions in the text around and before the quoted material, it does seem that Lighthill allows for "ordinary differentiable functions" to be functions that have points of discontinuity, but whose derivatives can nevertheless be defined by differentiating from the left and right separately. The application of Theorem 10 is then to make rigorous sense of this "pasted" derivative (so to speak) as a generalised function. The notion of generalised function is made precise by Definition 7.
Therefore, while it is true that $f(x) := |x|^{\alpha}$ may be discontinuous at $x = 0$ for $\alpha > 0$, it seems that Lighthill is allowing $f'(x) := \alpha |x|^{\alpha - 1} \operatorname{sgn}(x)$ to be used as its derivative. Note that both, $f$ and $f'$ are well-defined functions on $\mathbb{R}$ and satisfy the condition that their respective products with $(1 + x^2)^{-N}$ for some $N \in \mathbb{N}$ gives an absolutely integrable function, so in this sense, they do satisfy the conditions of the quoted theorem (Theorem 10).


I don't why I've been putting off making crème brûlée for so long. I've had a blowtorch and ramekins for ages. I always thought it was very difficult to make, but nothing could be further away from the truth. It's really nothing more than (1) heating up some milk, cream and vanilla together in a saucepan, (2) pouring it into custard cups, (3) bake and (4) letting it cool. Brûlée-ing the crème was surprisingly easy as well, although I do recommend using white sugar instead of light brown sugar, as it burns less. Rating: 4- out of 5.
Crème Brûlée: adapted from Pâtisserie Mulot. Dorie Greenspan - Paris Sweets.
- Preheat the oven to 200°F (90°C). Place six gratin dishes or ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet: the ideal gratins or ramekins for this recipe are round porcelain or glass dishes that are just 1 inch high and 4 inches across (2,5 cm high, 10 cm across); they should hold about ¾ cup (200 ml).
- Bring the cream, milk, cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans (pod and pulp) to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Pull the pan from the heat and set it aside for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pods and cinnamon sticks from the cream mixture. Reheat the cream mixture; it should be hot to the touch.
- Put the yolks and sugar in a medium bowl, or better yet, a 1-quart measuring cup and whisk until the yolks are smooth but not airy. Whisking without stop, drizzle in about one-quarter of the hot cream mixture, then add the rest of the liquid in a slow, steady stream. Rap the bowl against the counter to pop the bubbles that will have formed, then pour the custard through a strainer into the dishes, dividing it evenly among them; it will come about two-thirds to three-quarters of the way up the sides.
- Bake the custards for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the centers are set (mine needed about 90 minutes); if you tap the sides of the dishes, the custards should not shimmy. Transfer the custards to a rack to cool to room temperature.
- Cover each dish with plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours, or up to 2 days. The custards need to be very cold before they can be brûléed.
- Sprinkle the tops evenly with brown sugar, using about 1 tablespoon for each, then torch away until the sugar bubbles and browns but does not burn.
- The custard can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator. You can brûlée the sugar and chill the desserts for up to 6 hours, but if you want to have cool custard and a warm topping, serve the dessert as soon as the sugar is brûléed.

Weeks 4 and 5 and Upcoming!
The last few weeks have been great here at Emerging Civil War. We have been trying to bring a diverse look to the Civil War, and thus far, it has worked out well.
We have welcomed a number of authors to the ranks: Dr. Mike Stevens, the president of the Central Virginia Battlefield Trust; author and historian Drew Pullen; and National Park Service ranger/historian Phil Greenwalt. We are excited to have them join us.
Full-time authors Ashley Whitehead and Steward Henderson have posted their first articles on Rural Plains and Ex-Slave John Washington, respectively.
Daniel Davis and Zac Cowsert have returned with articles on the 1st Massachusetts Cavalry at the Battle of Aldie; and Holly Springs Cemetery and the Shreveport Naval Base. Kristopher White continued his series on the bombardment and looting of Fredericksburg, and Chris Mackowski and Caity Stuart both offered some perspectives on Antietam.
In the coming weeks, we have a number of book reviews and interviews covering the Battle of Ball's Bluff; The New Gettysburg Campaign Handbook; Inventing Stonewall;and The Civil War; a Visual History.
Our authors are also working on some great new material. We will have posts discussing "Chancellorsville: Lee's Greatest Victory or Lee's Greatest Defeat?"; a study of Little Round Top as a military bastion; the Battle of Tom's Brook; Elmira Prison, and more.
Explore the rest of the site, as well. We are expanding the research center weekly. Our upcoming presentation pages tell you where you may catch one of our authors live. Next month, Kristopher White will be teaching a three-part class on Little Round Top, Devil's Den, and the Valley of Death.
We hope you have been enjoying the site thus far. Be on the lookout for new authors and topics in the coming weeks. Thanks for stopping by.

Providing technical support is what we do best. By working with your subject matter experts, we can derive best practice approaches to solving your customers' problems. We utilize an industry leading practice called Guided Process Workflows to assist our agents in diagnosing, troubleshooting and resolving problems. By working with you to create these workflows, we are able to extend your internal knowledge about your products and services, no matter how technical in nature the problem is.
Through a deductive reasoning process, our highly skilled and trained agents are able to conditionally determine the root cause of the customers issue. All too often, this step in the process can be overlooked, leading agents and customers down the wrong path. Using the "Guided Workflows" our agents are able to quickly hone in on the true problem, to effectively and efficiently support your customers.
Once an agent utilizes the best practice approach to correctly determine the root causes of the issues, they are now able to work with your customers to troubleshoot and solve the problem. With "process specific" knowledge and practices in-hand, the steps to troubleshooting your most advanced problems are solved with ease. What happens if we come across an unknown issue? Agents follow a free form model and then we work with you, to develop a set of workflows to arm our agents in the future, assuring that it never happens again.
With the problem correctly solved, the first time, it's no wonder why our customers see an increase in their FCR (First Contact Resolution) rates. Working with our customers to set goals for various metric improvements is something we encourage. By positively affecting the customer service experience, you are able to drive better results to your bottom line.

We did: schematic design, design development, and construction documents.
The urban renovation project for the historical center of San Giorgio Morgeto was aimed to find a unified solution for two different problems. The first is the completion of a large multistory car park and the mitigation of the visual impact of its facade, over 70 meters long and up to 21 meters high. The second is the creation of a new pedestrian public space in the heart of the town.
Ideally, the vertical plane of the new green facade of the car park and the horizontal one of the new square are two part of the same surface, as they were a single folded sheet.

You can expect an assortment of ready to eat and ready to cook foods that have been chosen by our discerning tasting panel.
*Occasionally we may send a full size product, which will count as 2 sample sized items. In the event there are 5 items in a box, at least one of those items will be a full retail size.
Love a product, want to find out more? On our web site, you will find a section devoted to the contents of each Kosher Foodie Box. There you can find ideas on how to serve and/or prepare your new finds. And of course, there will be links to purchase full sizes of all your favorites.

Dr. Joseph Spalitto's passion to help others leads to national honor
By: Martin City Telegraph Posted on August 28, 2017 August 28, 2017
Dr. Joseph Spalitto and his wife Liz pose with a statue of Mary that was given to them by the people of San Adres, Itzapa, Guatemala, in gratitude for their annual missionary visits.
Dentist's love for community service lands him honor
By Kathy Feist
Dr. Joseph Spalitto has been accepted into the prestigious International College of Dentists (ICD), an honor society that recognizes dentists who have performed outstanding community service through volunteer work. Only seven other dentists in Kansas City, MO, have been so honored, and 124 in Missouri.
"I have a love for community service," says Spalitto who's been practicing at his office at the Red Bridge Professional Building, 400 E. Red Bridge Rd., since 1973.
The awards, achievements and public service have stacked up over the years: COMBAT Drug Commissioner for Jackson County, Exalted Ruler of the local Elk's Lodge, board member of Friends of Special People, part-time clinical professor at UMKC School of Dentistry, and a member of the Rinehart Board, volunteer for the Westside Community Action Network, board member of the St. Joseph Table at St. Thomas More Church, and more.
Perhaps most notable is his contribution to a Third World country.
This Spalitto's trips were covered in a January 31, 2001, issue of Dos Mundos .
For over ten years Spalitto and his wife, Liz, a dental hygienist, traveled to Guatemala to perform dental missionary work. He eventually became director of numerous dental and medical missions to that country and was made Honorary Consul of Guatemala for part of the midwest region and a member of the U.S. State Department.
Spalitto recalls when he was first asked to become a part of St. Thomas More Parish's Guatemala Action Group. "Why not!" he remembers replying.
In 1997, Spalitto and his wife traveled to St. Thomas More's sister parish in San Andres, Itzapa, a region in the central highlands of Guatemala. "We would be standing on our feet on a concrete floor with a flashlight and nothing for the patient to spit in," recalls Liz. "It was very primitive." The couple had to bring their own dental instruments. A dental chair was brought in from a nearby community. Over a two or three day period, over 200 people would be lined up to receive dental care.
Overwhelmed with the number of patients during their first visit, Spalitto asked dental students from the UMKC School of Dentistry and later, medical students from the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences to join him. Eventually medical students became a part of the contingency. At various times, they were joined by their son Pete, now a dentist practicing in St. Louis, and daughter Gina, now a local obstetrician/gynecologist. After grandchildren began to appear, the Spalitto's eventually retired from their missionary trips.
"Those were our 'vacations,'" recalls Liz. "We didn't even take vacations because of that."
Despite being in need of a break, Dr. Spalitto continued to be involved with the Guatemalan community.
Spalitto received much publicity for his role in sending home three undocumented immigrants who had died in a van that wrecked near Columbia, MO. The bodies had no U.S. relatives to claim them and were about to be cremated and sent back to Guatemala. But Spalitto intervened, knowing the devastation it would bring to the families to receive their loves ones in that state. He was able to raise the money, have the bodies properly embalmed and returned to their families.
One time, as Consulate for Guatemala, Spalitto received a call from from the Consulate General of Mexico. "He said, 'Hey, we have a Guatemalan. Can you help her?'", recalls Spalitto. The young woman was a Hurricane Katrina survivor who had "no place to stay, no money, and was pregnant," says Spalitto. The woman had been raped by the Coyotaje while coming to the United States. The Coyotaje, or coyote, are paid to smuggle people across the U.S./Mexican border.
Spalitto was able to find her housing and work in Chicago, where there were programs for Hurricane Katrina Disaster victims. The Spalittos purchased a bus ticket for her, after buying her clothing, necessities and a suitcase. According to Spalitto, she had her baby and found success in Chicago.
"A lot of people have a big hang-up on undocumented people," says Spalitto. "But they've never been in that situation where they lived in terror. "We witnessed a kid who stole something and they burned him right there in the streets."
"There are those who come to the U.S. and take advantage of circumstances," he concedes. "But then there are others who have no choice but to leave. They've never had a chance to progress in life. If they are Indians in the mountains, they are stuck in a society that never advances. When we were there, the median pay was $1000 a year. And no medical or dental care."
"People don't know what a third world country really is," he says.
Dr. Spalitto knows and has compassion for the needy as a result. There is a long list of recipients who have received his care, both here and abroad. One can say the world smiles a little brighter because of Spalitto's many humanitarian efforts.
Dr. Spalitto will be inducted as a Fellow of the ICD at the 88th Annual Convocation in Atlanta, GA, on October 19.

"To be able to use these AI solutions you really need highly technical physics doctorate types, you need to be willing to invest the money, and not just in what I've mentioned but in auditors, and compliance people who have a high level of math. Often people forget the compliance and the auditors, you can't just have the regular ones because they haven't been trained in that level of math," says Valladares.
"Bolsonaro will have a hard time implementing his fiscal agenda," agreed Mayra Rodriguez Valladares, a US economic consultant and specialist on Latin American politics at MRV Associates. She added that a steep drop this month in prices for oil — an important Brazilian export — coupled with a slowdown in top trading partner China created headwinds for Brazil's economy. Longer-term goals, such as infrastructure and job training, are going largely ignored, she said.
"Mnuchin isn't helping," said Mayra Rodriguez Valladares, a former foreign-exchange analyst for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. "For him to come out and explain what Trump is expressing is bizarre. It adds to the nervousness." Rodriguez Valladares, who also conducts training for bankers and regulators through her consulting firm MRV Associates Inc., said the suggestion of Trump firing Powell is unprecedented. "This is really making us look like a very underdeveloped market where the president is telling the central bank what to do," she said.

Fact Sheet OTRO Pressroom Contact Us
Web Usability Guru Jakob Nielsen Goes "On the Record…Online" about the Impact of Online Communications on Corporate Reputations
LOS ANGELES, CALIF/April 4, 2006 – In the latest episode of "On the Record…Online," the podcast that explores how new media is changing the way organization's communicate, and the way people consume media and information, Jakob Neilsen, Ph.D., who The New York Times calls "the guru of Web page usability" explains why an incomplete internet press room can be a stain on corporate reputation.
According to Nielsen, a principal at the Nielsen Norman Group and the author of the best-selling book Designing Web Usability, which has sold more than a quarter of a million copies in 21 languages, there is a direct relationship between the level of commitment an organization demonstrates toward anticipating and satisfying the public and the news media's appetite for information on their website, and the perceptions people have toward their brands, products and services.
Responding to a question on whether it is important for a corporation to have an internet pressroom, Neilsen says "…I would definitely say yes and actually for more reasons than you just might think. Certainly the first and most obvious reason is for PR…but there is also a second reason which is in this kind of modern world the web is its own medium as well and you have a lot of additional types of users who are going to go and check out your news…"
"On the Record…Online" is intended to help public relations and marketing professionals make better use of the internet for media relations and public disclosure. Through in-depth, one-on-one interviews with journalists and subject-matter experts, the podcast seeks to foster a greater appreciation and awareness among business professionals about the importance of improving online public relations and interactive marketing practices.
"If you work in PR, you need to listen to this podcast," said Lesa Snider King, who as The New York Times technology columnist David Pogue's personal assistant is frequently unable to find what she needs on corporate internet pressrooms. "It's a joy to work with companies who provide pertinent information in their internet pressrooms. Instead of trying to get photos out of a PR contact and having them fill up my inbox, I can go in and choose the photos we want. Here, as in so many other areas, 'pull' works better than 'push'."
And even though blogs have given rise to a veritable revolution in personal publishing, Neilsen also explains why the press release is here to stay. "One thing we've found in our user studies, and we've done studies not just with journalists, as I mentioned, but also with financial analysts, and certainly many many studies just with customers, and we know that they actually want to know the company's perspective. Where does the company think its going?" says Neilsen. "The company's own angle is something that people are looking for, whether its journalists, whether its investors, or whether its customers they all want this information, and the pressroom is where to go and get it."
The podcast, which is available for immediate download, runs about 25 minutes, and also includes a discussion of how search engine optimization colors perception, accommodating a global audience through internet pressrooms, how best to integrate your pressroom into your website and more.
"On the Record…Online," which is rapidly approaching 100,000 downloads, is hosted by iPressroom founder and chairman Eric Schwartzman, formerly director of promotions at Rogers & Cowan. Past guests on Schwartzman's podcast include Ken Auletta of The New Yorker, Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal and David Pogue of the New York Times.
Schwartzman is also scheduled to present on professional podcasting panel sessions at ad:tech San Francisco on April 27, the Syndicate Conference in New York on May 17 and the Public Relations Society of America Tech Conference on June 27 in New York.
"On the Record…Online" is sponsored by iPressroom, which provides a hosted solution for online public relations and interactive marketing. iPressroom allows nontechnical personnel to conduct web content management, search engine optimization, permission-based email marketing, video on demand, RSS news feeds, blogs, podcast and more autonomously through one integrated, easy-to-use, web-based dashboard.
