Business Digest: JC Penney ousts CEO Ron Johnson
JC Penney ousts CEO Ron Johnson
Texas-based J.C. Penney is ousting CEO Ron Johnson. He's being replaced by former CEO Mike Ullman.
Ullman was head of the department store chain, based in Plano, prior to Johnson's appointment to the top spot in 2011 in an effort to halt the company's sliding earnings.
Johnson came under pressure after his turnaround strategy failed to win over shoppers. His drastic changes included slashing the number of sales in favor of everyday low prices, bringing in hipper designer brands such as Betsy Johnson and remaking outdated stores.
Johnson's support grew even thinner after several Wall Street analysts cut their ratings on the stock and Bill Ackman, the man who pushed for his hiring in 2011, said last week that Johnson deserved criticism for making changes without first testing consumer views. Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management is Penney's largest shareholder.
Exec threatens to pull Fox signal over Aereo dispute
LAS VEGAS — A top executive with the owner of the Fox broadcast network threatened Monday to convert the network to a subscription channel on cable or satellite TV if Internet startup Aereo Inc. continues to "steal" Fox's over-the-air signal and sell it to consumers without paying for rights.
Although anyone with an antenna can pick up a station's signals for free, cable and satellite companies typically pay stations and networks for the right to distribute their programming to subscribers. Industrywide those retransmission fees add up to billions of dollars every year. Aereo says it's not subject to those fees.
News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey said that not being paid by Aereo jeopardizes the economics of broadcast TV, which benefits from both retransmission fees and advertising.
Newspaper revenue fell 2 percent in 2012
ARLINGTON, Va. — The newspaper industry's revenue declined at its slowest pace in six years, as publishers turned to new businesses and raised more money from online subscriptions.
The industry's total revenue in 2012 fell 2 percent to $38.6 billion from $39.5 billion in 2011, according to the Newspaper Association of America.
Online subscriptions helped circulation revenue rise by 5 percent to $10.4 billion.
It was the first gain since 2003.

In case you missed it, the Internet near-exploded this week over a single tweet—showing Panera bagels sliced like bread. A user snapped a picture from his office, saying that he introduced his coworkers to "the St. Louis secret of ordering bagels bread sliced. It was a hit!" Regardless of whether or not it was a hit in the office, the Twitterverse had a lot of feelings, even going so far as to poke fun at the idea of "St. Louis style" food by posting weird combinations like Oreos and salsa, and hot dogs topped with Hershey's syrup. But it made us wonder—was Alek Krautmann on to something?
There were some mixed bag reactions too—I, personally, was middle ground, neither disliking the bagel-baguette hybrid nor feeling like it was a life-changing revelation. (After all, it was basically a slice of bread. There's nothing wrong with bread!). A fellow editor did point out, however, that while they didn't have a problem with the slicing technique itself, the results would have been much better if they were toasted.
If you have burning bagel thoughts of your own, you can head to Panera's Twitter account, where there's a thread asking customers how they prefer to slice their bagels. A few St. Louis residents got in the mix, with some saying it was common, and others arguing that they'd never heard of this "secret"—check out the rest of the thread here.


An improved gravitational lensing technique provides a glimpse of Icarus, a star located about 9 billion light-years from Earth.
G	G	ravitational lensing has become a remarkably handy tool, as astronomers are refining and enhancing the ways they can use what has been called "nature's telescope" to find objects in the cosmos. Two separate studies published April 2 in the journal Nature Astronomy describe how gravitational lensing has provided remarkable views of different types of "extreme" stars that are normally too far away and dim to be detected. Because of unique lensing events, the stars — nicknamed Icarus and Spock — have been observed multiple times with the Hubble Space Telescope.
In one study, astronomers used gravitational lensing to see Icarus, or MACS J1149 Lensed Star 1, the most distant star ever observed, located about 9 billion light-years from Earth. Usually, lensing magnifies galaxies by up to 50 times, but in this case, the star was magnified more than 2,000 times. This is the first time a "normal" star — one that was not exploding as a supernova — has been observed at such a great distance.
"You can see individual galaxies out there, but this star is at least 100 times farther away than the next individual star we can study, except for supernova explosions," Patrick Kelly, from the University of Minnesota, said in a statement. Kelly led the Icarus study.
Researchers reported that the two Spock stars, named HFF14Spo-NW and HFF14Spo-SE, were seen "twinkling," which, the team writes, is thought to be caused by "separate eruptions of a luminous blue variable star or a recurrent nova, or as an unrelated pair of stellar microlensing events."
For both studies, however, the brightness seen through the lensing events had one thing in common: The gravitational lensing was caused by not just one galaxy, but a cluster of galaxies, which can greatly enhance the effect.
Normally, gravitational lensing occurs when two galaxies happen to align with one another along our line of sight in the sky. The gravitational field of the nearer galaxy acts as a lens, magnifying the light coming from the stars behind them. In the past, astronomers have used this technique to measure the shape of stars, search for exoplanets, and measure dark matter in distant galaxies.
In the case of the two current studies, clusters of galaxies acted as the lens, providing extreme magnification from the gravitational field generated by multiple galaxies.
Kelly added that the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope should be "terrific" for doing just that, and astronomers are hoping to find many more lensed stars using the telescope.
In a commentary about the studies, astronomer Roseanne Di Stefano from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics said these types of observations highlight a new frontier for sky watchers.
This type of lensing, both teams said, is providing new views of events and processes we would otherwise be unable to observe, since faint stars and non-supernova stellar outbursts are not generally detectable at such great distances.
The brightening is intermittent, however, because of the movement of the galaxies. So astronomers need to determine whether the intermittent brightening is a factor of a transient star, the movement of the galaxy clusters, or other types of events.
The observed light from Icarus was emitted about 4.4 billion years after the Big Bang, when the universe was only about 30 percent of its current age. The prevalence of galaxy clusters means this effect could be used more frequently to look deeper into the past, and study the evolution of the earliest stars.

Tinubu Cannot Hold A Tea Cup – Ex APC Campaign Director
The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, does not have the presence of mind to be the president of Nigeria, a former chieftain of the party, Hajia Naja'atu Muhammad said according to reports.
Mohammad, who is not known to pull her punches when it comes to making public comments, announced her resignation from the Tinubu campaign on Saturday and said she was quitting party politics.
In a resignation letter as the Director of Civil Society in the Presidential Campaign Council of the ruling APC addressed to the National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, she said recent developments in the political and democratic space have made it impossible for her to continue participating in party politics.
She stated that the challenges facing the country today "require me to continue championing the struggle for a better country with a clear conscience as I remain absolutely loyal to Nigeria," adding that the problems required "the consolidated efforts of competent and patriotic leadership across every level of governance."
But giving more details on what informed her decision to dump the Tinubu campaign, she told reporters in an interview, that the APC presidential candidate had demonstrated clear symptoms of dementia when she visited him for a private meeting in London.
She said, "Asiwaju that I sat with for two hours, he slept most of the time, it was Bisi Akande that I was really talking to. Most importantly he is not only physically unfit, he is mentally unfit, whether we want it or not, this is the truth. It's not that I hate him, I respect him because I have heard of one or two people that he assisted which is good."
"But when you talk of leadership of over two hundred million people you know that if you remove tribal sentiments, you know that he is incapable, those that will rule are those around him. This is the reality. He is mentally deranged – I said it!"
"I sat with him for two hours in London, when you talk of green, he will give you an answer of red, he can't even decipher, he has very serious dementia, I believe he has Alzheimer's because he cannot even hold a cup of tea.
"If you remove tribal sentiment, if you remove the Lagos/Ibadan press, if Tinubu were not a Yoruba man, he will not dare contest election because they will crucify him, but people are all there to defend him because he is Yoruba, it's egbe omo Oduduwa over everything else.
"I was in the campaign for Yola, and we had to beg them to take the mic from him, everything about Tinubu is based on lies. Imagine he is an Hausa man, will he contest elections with all these gbese on top of him? In this campaign nobody should talk of corruption because they are corruption personified."
Mohammad has however disclosed she would be supporting the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the presidential election because he is a lesser evil.
"What I'm saying is, if I have to choose between the devil and the deep sea, I'll go for the deep sea, I will support Atiku, because over and above everything else, I follow my conscience. I'm not doing it for myself, I'm doing it for God and for my country," she stated.
Mohammad, who disclosed she had not met Tinubu again since after she accepted the appointment to serve in his PCC, also claimed the former Lagos State governor had no plans for the North despite the myriads of problems confronting the region.
Recalling her London meeting with the APC candidate, Mohammad said, "I asked Tinubu, "What do you have for us in the north? He looked me in the face and said "Nothing." I said, "Sir, you mean you have nothing for the north? The question of security, out of school children, agriculture, and many things like that, everybody in the northeast is waiting to be killed or kidnapped?"

Despite backlash, 'stand your ground' laws did not apply to Zimmerman case
George Zimmerman's fear for his life, not Florida's controversial law, led to the verdict, experts say.

By Kris Hundley, Times Staff Writer
Published July 16 2013
Updated July 16 2013
A juror in the George Zimmerman trial broke her silence Monday night on national TV to say Florida's "stand your ground" laws played a role in the decision to acquit the Sanford neighborhood watch captain.
But the woman, identified only as Juror B37, also said she had "no doubt" Zimmerman feared for his life in the final moments of his struggle with Trayvon Martin, and that was the definitive factor in the verdict. The juror spoke to CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 on Monday.
That matched the assessment of legal experts who earlier Monday were describing the verdict on Saturday as the result of successful, garden-variety self-defense arguments that could sway a jury in any state.
Though these observers said Florida's expanded self-defense law, which says citizens can "stand their ground" rather than retreat in the face of a deadly threat has emboldened citizens to take unnecessary risks and led to an increase in homicides, they detected little impact on the Zimmerman case.
Zimmerman, charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, waived his right for a pretrial immunity hearing, allowed under "stand your ground" law. Although the words "stand your ground" were seldom heard during the five-week trial, protesters have called for the repeal of "stand your ground" in light of the verdict.
Experienced prosecutors and law professors agreed that they think jurors were swayed by basic self-defense arguments made by Zimmerman's attorneys: Regardless of who initiated the encounter, at the moment the deadly shot was fired, Zimmerman feared for his life.
"I can see a similar outcome in jurisdictions without 'stand your ground' for the mere fact that the best eyewitness to counter the defense strategy was dead," said Darren Lenard Hutchinson, a professor of race and civil rights law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. "That's the terrible reality. The jurors saw a bloodied nose and that may have been enough for them."
Jurors were also instructed by the judge that if they had "reasonable doubt" about the second-degree murder or manslaughter charges against Zimmerman, they had no choice but to find him not guilty.
Bob Dekle, a retired prosecutor who also teaches at UF Law, said, " 'Stand your ground' turns out to have been a huge red herring (in the Zimmerman case.) The result very well could have been the same prior to enactment of the law."
Dekle, a critic of "stand your ground" provisions, said that even if a person initiates a fight, they always have had the right to defend themselves if they're in fear of death or great bodily harm. "You don't forfeit your right to do whatever you need to do to live simply because you've been a jerk," Dekle said.
Those comments are no surprise to Sen. Tom Lee, Republican from Brandon, who was president of the Florida Senate when stand your ground legislation was passed in 2005.
"I have yet to talk to anyone who believes the stand your ground provisions were remotely relevant to this case," said Lee, who believes the law is working the way it was intended. "For me, this case centered on your right to defend yourself."
Lee said that's why the Sanford police did not immediately arrest Zimmerman after he acknowledged killing Martin in February 2012 and why the prosecutor initially decided not to prosecute.
"But once the prosecution decided to try the case, the questions were: Did Zimmerman have a right to defend himself? Was there an environment that evening that gave a reasonable person belief he or she was in danger? That's traditional self-defense," Lee said. "He still had a right to defend himself because he was in fear of his life."
"Stand your ground" may have had little impact on the criminal case, but it might have repercussions if Martin's parents bring a civil suit against Zimmerman. If Zimmerman was granted immunity under the law by a civil court judge, the Martins would have to pay his legal fees.
"I can imagine protesters thinking a civil suit would be the next-best remedy, " said Susan Rozelle, professor at Stetson University College of Law. "But the family is unfairly burdened by the fear of having to pay costs if it loses."
Though there was some pressure to revamp the stand your ground laws when the Zimmerman case first became public, that pressure quickly dissipated. A task force created by Gov. Rick Scott to review the law included many of the statute's supporters and resulted in few meaningful proposals. Even those, however, failed to get a hearing during the last legislative session, as lawmakers cited the ongoing legal case against Zimmerman and more pressing issues as an excuse for shelving any discussion of the subject.
State Sen. Chris Smith, a Democrat from Fort Lauderdale, hopes the public outcry over the Zimmerman verdict will change that, especially if jurors say it had an impact on their deliberation.
"That statute was poorly written; any reasonable society would want it changed," Smith said. "People are looking for action steps, they're shocked by the outcome. Now we need to push the Legislature to at least have this debate."
Times researcher Carolyn Edds and staff writer Michael Van Sickler contributed to this report.

Kensington is new venue for Haughtons' ceramics fair
LONDON-based Brian and Anna Haughton are moving their International Ceramics Fair & Seminar from the West End to the Commonwealth Centre in Kensington where it will be staged in conjunction with a new event, The London Asian Art Fair.
The ceramics fair was launched at The Dorchester hotel in 1982 and after two years moved to the Park Lane Hotel where it has been ever since.
Anna Haughton told the Antiques Trade Gazette last week that the move was partly driven by ever-escalating hotel costs, but also because the Park Lane offered no room to expand.
Explaining the Asian development, the organisers, who already stage a New York Asian fair, state: "We have always had a large Asian component in the ceramics fair and these dealers have been saying for a while they would like to bring in a wider range of Asian art."
Other Asian dealers will join the joint fair, which will be held from June 11 to 14 and occupy different halves of the circular tiers of the new venue; £10 will admit to both.

A successful Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy certainly targets keywords or phrases but also stretches out to encompass longer phrases. As Google continues to enhance its search mechanisms to better respond to "real questions," the long-tail keyword is experiencing a resurgence in effectiveness.
Target the right audience with more specific terms.
Long-tail keywords have lower search volume and thus are easier to target and tend to be more effective when captured. For example, a search for "web design" is certainly a potential target for TBH Creative but is that a search for a web design firm? A person who wants a web design job? A designer looking for inspiration? It's hard to tell and therefore, hits captured off that keyword target are going to offer mixed results.
However, a search for "web design firm Indianapolis" is a far better prospect for us. A person searching for that long-tail term is far more likely to be looking for our services and our SEO efforts with that phrase are going to be more successful.
In this article summary: Articles on Longtail Keywords for SEO Strategy, Design M.ag hits on the importance of long-tail keywords: "Longtail keywords are the searches which make up over 70% of Google search terms. These are often longer than 3-4 words and they can be very specific in relation to your website. This is why most visitors who search longtail will stay on your website for a long time, if you can fill their exact need(s)." Read the full article.
Enhance your long-tail strategy with landing pages.
Once you research and develop your list of long-tail targets, step back and look at your website content. There's a fine balance between writing content that is of genuine value to your audience while naturally incorporating your long-tail targets and writing content that is loaded with phrases and keyword terms but doesn't offer much inherent value.
Learn more about the SEO content balance.
Landing pages can help with this balance. As you review your website content strategy, consider developing separate pages for separate long-tail keywords. Assuming these targets are viable sources of potential leads, they are also ripe for developing into information that is useful and will best connect with your audience.
For example, Dr. Stephen Klapper is an eyelid and facial plastic surgeon in Indianapolis. As such, he offers a specific set of medical services to his audience that they search for with longer search phrases. As part of an overall content strategy, Dr. Klapper developed a set of pages to describe each of his primary surgeries and treatments.
These pages are of definite value to his potential patients as they learn more about the procedures they need. They also help Dr. Klapper most effectively capture searches for those "long-tail" terms.
Learn more about selecting the best SEO targets.
We believe that a successful SEO strategy is one that seeks to grow your traffic with the right audience. Long-tail keywords are certainly part of a smart, achievable strategy. Let us help you develop a smart SEO strategy.
TBH Creative is an Indianapolis-based Internet design and strategy firm. We are focused on taking your website from design through development and into ongoing successful promotion. Learn how we can help you take your Internet marketing to the next level.

What is the Angel's Cocktail and how can we use it to our advantage?
May 11, 2021 3 Mins Read
David JP Phillips gets the call.
He's invited to come to Stockholm by a woman who represents one of the biggest training companies in Scandinavia. David is a speaker and trainer and she tells him they are interested in hiring him to train their trainers.
"We think you are a perfect pick. Would you like to come to a meeting?" she asks.
"Wow! I'm honored, I'd love to," he recalls in his Tedx talk .
On the agreed upon day, he arrives in Stockholm. "What I didn't know then is that I'm walking into one of the absolute worst meetings I'm ever going to have in my life," he remembers.
Upon entering the offices, he is met by the person who called him, "David, just so you know, I'm not the one you're going to have this meeting with."
She points to a conference room where three men are sitting.
"Are you ready?" she asks.
"And I'm like, 'Yeah, what should I be ready for?'"
"Well, in that room you have three gentlemen," she says. "They're all majority owners of this company. They've all got an ex-military background and none of them wants the training that you are going to pitch."
What?!?
"Come on!" he says "Why am I here?"
"Well, all the trainers want this but the management can't see that they need it. So it's pretty simple: the only thing you have to do is go in there and just prove the opposite."
All of a sudden, "sweat is coming down my palms. My heart is racing," he recalls.
She begins to escort him toward the office. "David, I'm going to give you a tip."
He turns to look at her.
In his Tedx talk, David looks at the audience and says, "If I don't tell you what she says, is that annoying?"
Ahh, yes!
He never tells us the end of the story. Why?
"To prove to you what it feels like to have high dopamine levels," David says.
In telling this story, David demonstrates to the Tedx audience (and now us) how stories release chemicals in our brain, in this case, dopamine.
When we have high levels of dopamine in our blood, we have more focus, more motivation, and we remember things better.
"Would you say that your focus was increased, your attention was increased?" David asks. "You've probably already figured out what that room looked like, correct?"
Scientists now know the specific chemicals that the brain releases when we are listening to a story. "We know what triggers those neurochemicals," Carmine Gallo writes in his book The Storyteller's Secret. "We know what stories work, why they work, and we can prove it scientifically."
How do we create and release dopamine in our audience?
We build suspense. We create a cliffhanger.
"And the most beautiful thing of all is that all storytelling is per definition dopamine creating, because it's always something that we're waiting and expecting," David states.
Dopamine is one of the three chemicals which storytelling generates in our brain, what David calls the "Angel's Cocktail."
Reflection: What are some of my favorite movies or shows? How do they use suspense and create cliffhangers?
Action: How can I create suspense in an upcoming presentation? Do it.

Moreover, decentralized manufacturing will allow to reduce transportation costs and improve logistics. These issues will be quantified in application experiments including LCA.
AM experimentation leveraged by AMable will allow energy efficient and circular economic principles could be implemented more easily with a positive impact on energy management and resources/waste management. The increased integration of AM solutions with forecasting and simulation capabilities will enable and facilitate a new generation of proactive manufacturing processes better suited for implementation of zero-defect and zero-impact production strategies in manufacturing SMEs.
The increase of current SME's knowledge and skills in AM (by completing feasibility and best practices experiments and by customized training) will contribute to the reshoring of manufacturing activities and reorganisation of OEM's value chains.
Overall digitalization of factories and adoption of AM technologies will create safe and attractive jobs and will put an end to the current beliefs that manufacturing is risky or dirty. This factor will contribute attracting the most brilliant minds to manufacturing disciplines.
AMable's specific support to education and training services is crucial to enable the up-skilling and re-skilling of the European workforce so SMEs and mid-caps can fully embrace and build a competitive advantage for future AM products.
This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under grant agreement No 768775.

Jose Mourinho signs new Chelsea contract; set to break personal record?
August 7th 2015, 19:54
Follow @EddyDove
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has signed a new four-year contract at the club.
The move is significant because until now in his career, the Portuguese coach has never spent longer than three seasons at any one club.
If he completes this season at Stamford Bridge, he will have matched his own personal record, while his new contract signing indicates that he is keen on surpassing his previous 'longest-ever stint' at a club.
The new deal was announced on Chelsea's official website, and will keep the manager in west London until 2019 at the earliest.
Mourinho twice won the Premier League during his first spell with the Pensioners—between 2004 and 2007—while also winning the FA Cup and two League Cup titles.
He achieved a record 95-point tally in 2004/05, but departed as relations became strained with club chief Roman Abramovich.
Since returning in 2013, he won both the League Cup and the EPL title last term.
"If the club is happy, I am happy," Mourinho began, discussing his new contract with ChelseaFC.com.

"I think this is a normal thing for me to sign a new contract. It is important we have this continuity and I hope we can enjoy more success in the future – for the fans, the players and the club.
"I said when I returned here two years ago that I have a special feeling for this club and nothing changed. It is the club closest to my heart and I am very happy to know I will be staying here for a long time."

Q: MS Access VBA/SQL check any of children MS Access 2016
Goal, tag records based on child parameter; example:
Cat1    Cat2
 A       1
 A       2
 A       5
 B       3
 B       4
 B       1
 C       3
 C       2
 C       5

Goal, within Group By check to see if 3 exists and tag w/ "FBWT"; result:
Cat1    Cat2
 A      Other
 B      FBWT
 C      FBWT

I've thought about creating a dictionary based on Cat1 that updates the value based on iterating through Cat1/2 pairs then prints "Other" or "FBWT" but this will run on millions of records so I'm ideally looking for a function that I can run in a query that opperates the groupby on Cat1.

A: Use conditional aggregation:
select cat1,
       min(iif(cat2 = 3, 'FBWT' 'Other'))
from t
group by cat1;

This uses MIN() as a bit of a short-cut.  The strings are such that 'FBWT' < 'Other'.
A more formal way of doing this is more explicit:
select cat1,
       iif(sum(iif(cat2 = 3, 1, 0) > 0, 'FBWT', 'Other')
from t
group by cat1;

A: Something like this, but more efficient:
Function IsFBwT(ByVal tblName As String, ByVal JVID As String)
    Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
    cTblStr = "SELECT [" & tblName & "].[FBwT IND] FROM [" & tblName & "] WHERE ((([" & tblName & "].[Journal Voucher ID])=" & Chr(34) & JVID & Chr(34) & "));"
    Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(cTblStr)

    IsFBwT = "Other"
    rs.MoveNext
    Do Until rs.EOF
        If rs("FBwT IND").Value = "FBwT" Then
            IsFBwT = "FBwT"
            Exit Function
        End If
        rs.MoveNext
    Loop
End Function

A: The following is Standard SQL which means it may or may not work in Accessland:
UPDATE TargetTable t
   SET t.Cat2 = 'FBWT'
 WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT *
                  FROM SourceTable s
                 WHERE s.Cat1 = t.Cat1
                       AND s.Cat2 = 3 );

Until the mid-seventeenth century, Asian rugs imported into Europe were considered too valuable to fill in as lasting floor covers. Put on the floor just on chapel occasions or in a privileged person's quality, they were generally held tight the divider or used to cover tables, seats, and chests; and, especially in Italy, they were hung over galleries as adornment amid celebrations. In case you want to have a go at utilizing an enriching Southwest Rugs, or part of a mat, on a stool or seat. This would be a simple method to give your furniture a makeover for as little as possible!
Craftsmanship: regardless of whether you have a contemporary or conventional style carpet, you can utilize it to create an impression on the floor, as well as on the divider! Hang up an incredible floor covering on an uncovered divider for a fly of style and shading.
Headboard of the Southwest Rugs: with texture headboards ending up quite well known, it's no big surprise that mat headboards are ending up increasingly prevalent.
Inside entryways have turned out to be embellishing in their materials and plan. The subsequent stage might be to append a lovely adapted floor covering to the entryway. It would help with the acoustics of the room. This may work best in kids' rooms, however I would be interested to see this pulled off as a genuine outline thought.
Considering this European state of mind, the Egyptian producers made a few strange shapes and sizes for the European market: square, round, and cruciform rugs, clearly intended for tables instead of floors. Amid the seventeenth century, covering the whole floor with expensive hitched rugs wound up stylish. The mid-twentieth century saw a blast in antique-cover costs that brought about choicer pieces winding up back on the divider.
The Southwest Rugs served numerous utilizations other than covering floors. They made great looking window ornaments, filled in as tribute cash, and were regularly endowments of one state to another. They were utilized as covers, overhangs, covers for tent openings, and tomb covers. They have likewise made superb seat spreads and capacity sacks for use in tents. Such unassuming carpets were constantly near the life of the general population, who pampered mind on them and into them wove life-securing images. Other, more odd, utilizes have included aiding the destruction of al-Mustaʿṣim, Baghdad's last caliph—who in 1258 was wrapped in a cover and pounded the life out of—and drastically improving's first experience with Julius Caesar, when she ventured out of an unrolled mat.
Oriental floor coverings are those made in western and Central Asia, North Africa, and the Caucasus area of Europe. Mat plan, in western Asia in any event, had gone past felt and plaited tangles before the first thousand years BC. An edge floor covering spoke to in a stone cutting (now in the Louver) from the eighth century-BC Assyrian royal residence of Khorsabad (in current Iraq) has an allover field example of quatrefoils (four-leafed themes), confined by a lotus fringe.

Q: event delegate (in)equality? Could someone explain the meaning of the following portion of code :
private event UserChangedHandler m_UserChanged;
public event UserChangedHandler UserChanged
{
  add
  {
      if (m_UserChanged != value)
      {
        m_UserChanged += value;
      }
  }
}

thanks

A: add { } is a construct much like get { } for properties, except add works on events. You're defining custom functionality here when adding delegates to an event.
In this case, this method body prevents consecutive duplicates (i.e. you can't register the same method/handler twice in a row).
So in this example:
public void HandlerUserChanged(object o, UserChangedEventArgs args)
{
     // some code
}

public void HandlerUserChanged2(object o, UserChangedEventArgs args)
{
     // some code
}

Later:
UserChanged += HandleUserChanged;
UserChanged += HandleUserChanged;
UserChanged(this, new UserChangedEventArgs());

The method HandleUserChanged will only fire once, even though you registered it twice. A normal event (without the add { }) would invoke the function twice.
However:
UserChanged += HandleUserChanged;
UserChanged += HandleUserChanged2;
UserChanged += HandleUserChanged;
UserChanged(this, new UserChangedEventArgs());

Will allow HandleUserChanged to fire twice, because the last-registered handler isn't ever the one being added. The == operator on events works on the LAST handler. (Thankyou to Matthew for bringing that to attention)

A: It strikes me as odd that m_UserChanged is declared as an event rather than just a delegate instance (is that the right terminology...I get confused w/ delegates).  Events are analogous to a simple Property model in that they essentially wrap underlying fields within a pair of transparent methods.
The way I understand it, .Net allows for the creation of implcit (anonymous?) event and properties by taking something like this :
public int Value { get; set;}
public event EventHandler ValueChanged;

and then creating the respective underlying placeholder objects to generate something more like this:
private int _Value;
public int Value { get { return _Value;} set { _Value = value;}}

private EventHandler _ValueChanged;
public event EventHandler ValueChange { add { _ValueChanged += value;} remove { _ValueChanged -= value;}}

The underlying object can be defined explicitly of course, but what the code sample above looks like is a bit of a conflation between explicit and implicit event declaration...it looks like the following is actually being done (behind the scenes, as it were):
private UserChangedHandler _m_UserChanged;
private event UserChangedHandler m_UserChanged { add { _m_UserChanged += value;} remove { _m_UserChanged -= value;}}
public event UserChangedHandler UserChanged
{
  add
  {
      if (m_UserChanged != value)
      {
        m_UserChanged += value;
      }
  }
}

It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, I don't guess, but it looks like an oversight.

Q: Invalid Character Error When Generating Tableau Hypers using API I have a process that loops through several parquet files, converts them to CSVs, and then generates tableau hypers following the guidance provided here:
https://github.com/tableau/hyper-api-samples/blob/main/Tableau-Supported/Python/create_hyper_file_from_csv.py
However, for one of the files, I keep getting an error as the CSV is copied into the .hyper:
HyperException: invalid character in input string file:'/filepath/adds_time_of_day_error_drop_col.csv' line:2 column:12 Context: 0x5fdfad59

This is the schema of the problem parquet (before being converted to CSV):
parquet schema
The characters it calls "invalid" are decimals (e.g., 0.011 or 0.012) that worked fine in the other files I converted, so I'm not sure why it's not working here. Even when I drop the column, it just shifts the error over one column (so it would throw the error at line:2 column:11 instead of 12).
This seems similar to this issue on the tableau help forum, but I couldn't apply the solution there to this case because, as far as I can tell, there is no invalid character at line 2, column 12. I can't tell why only this CSV would have this issue when the others were created the same way with no problem.
https://community.tableau.com/s/question/0D54T00000F33g5SAB/hyper-api-copy-from-csv-to-hyper-failed-with-context-0x5fdfad59
I don't think it has to do with the Table Definition because I've tried different SqlTypes for the column, and it always fails.

It's the first time I've ever been in a room full of people where EVERYONE was in silent awe after a track had finished. Instead of checking out the hi-fi they were asking "Who was THAT!?"
The track is just one gem in a diamond mine of an album.

My birthday was earlier this month. Every year i make a decision to get something that i have been putting off but really want/need (last year was new flooring). This year, i decided it was time to replace the dishwasher that broke over 3 years ago. I went back and forth on this decision for a long time, basically because, well, it's only me, do i really NEED a dishwasher (i already know that it is not even close to being environmentally prudent of me). But the more i cook, the more i realize, i spend a lot of time doing dishes (i timed it, we are talking 4 hours per week) so i decided that i could justify the purchase.
What does this have to with more than cereal cooking for one? The number one excuse i hear from people, especially singles, is that they don't have the time. So my challenge to that? what do you do that you can change so that you do have the time?
I have some tricks that i've found over the years that seem to help me, which ones will help you?
What are some ideas that help you make the most of your time?

PubliBike est un système de vélos en libre-service (VLS) développé par CarPostal, Rent a bike et les CFF déployé dans de nombreuses villes suisses. Il forme l'un des deux grands réseaux de vélos en libre-service de la Confédération, avec le système concurrent Velospot, avec plus de  et plus de 250 stations.

Histoire

Les origines de l'ancêtre de PubliBike, Velopass, remontent à 2003 avec la création de l'association Lausanne Roule. Entre 2004 et 2007, elle met en place un service de prêt de vélos à Lausanne, Renens et Vevey, remplacés en juin 2009 à Lausanne et Morges et en août 2009 dans la riviera vaudoise par des services de vélos en libre-service.

En 2009, la structure évolue et la société Velopass SARL, basée à Lausanne, voit le jour. Pionnière du vélo en libre-service en Suisse elle est présente dans 20 villes, elle possédait en 2012 80 stations et plus de 800 vélos.

En 2011, CarPostal lance en partenariat avec les Chemins de fer fédéraux (CFF) son propre service, PubliBike, avec pour objectif de créer un réseau national de vélos en libre-service. L'année suivante, PubliBike rachète Velopass.

En mai 2013, PubliBike devient une société anonyme et abandonne la marque Velopass ; le réseau unifié compte désormais 113 stations.

Depuis fin 2017, plusieurs réseaux comme Lausanne et Sion sont en cours de modernisation avec l'apparition de vélos à assistance électrique.

Fin 2017, PubliBike lance ses premiers réseaux avec un tout nouveau système de vélos classiques et à assistance électrique (les « e-bikes ») à Lausanne et Lugano, avec la mise en place de nouvelles stations dans lesquelles les vélos ne sont plus fixés à des bornettes, le déverrouillage s'effectuant directement sur les vélos grâce à un cadenas électronique  à l'aide d'un smartphone ou d'un SwissPass. Le site internet et l'application ont également complètement été revus.

Le cadenas des nouveaux vélos a été critiqué à l'été 2018 en raison d'une faille permettant de le forcer, cause de nombreux vols à Berne et Zurich nécessitant la suspension temporaire du service dans ces deux villes. PubliBike ne communique pas sur les pertes financières dues à ces retraits, tout comme elle ne publie plus ses résultats financiers depuis 2016 : à part sur l'année 2012, la société a toujours été en déficit avec un record de 2,9 millions de francs suisses de pertes en 2015. Ce secret sur ses données financières pousse ses concurrents à attaquer la société de façon régulière devant les tribunaux. Ces interrogations ont pris de l'ampleur en 2018 dans le cadre du scandale sur les irrégularités des comptes de la maison mère CarPostal. PubliBike aurait proposé gratuitement, selon le journal Le Temps, l'installation de son réseau dans les grandes villes, tout en faisant payer les autres villes.

Présentation

Fonctionnement
Un compte client doit obligatoirement être créé via le site internet ou l'application PubliBike. Le client choisit ensuite l'abonnement qui lui correspond le mieux puis identifie la station PubliBike de son choix via l'application ; elles sont signalées sur place par un totem violet.

Les stations proposent des vélos classiques ou des « e-bikes », nom donnés aux vélos à assistance électrique de PubliBike. Le retrait du vélo s'effectue d'abord en appuyant sur le bouton du cadenas derrière la selle puis de le déverrouiller en approchant le smartphone avec l'application ouverte ou un SwissPass.

Après une utilisation, le vélo doit être ramené à une station et le cadenas doit être reverrouillé manuellement, un clic doit être entendu afin de s'assurer du bon verrouillage. Le montant du trajet est automatiquement débité après chaque utilisation. Les vélos peuvent être empruntés 24 heures sur 24.

Tarification
Différents abonnements s'adressent à différents groupes cibles. L'abonnement « B-Quick », sans cotisation annuelle, s'adresse aux utilisateurs occasionnels, tandis que l'abonnement « B-Fit » est destiné aux utilisateurs fréquents (février 2023).

Disponibilité
PubliBike est représenté dans plusieurs grandes villes de Suisse et s'agrandit régulièrement. L'emplacement des stations de tous les réseaux est consultable en ligne.

Réseaux en service
Entre novembre 2017 et 2018, 8 réseaux ont été renouvelés ou inaugurés : « Lausanne-Morges », « Agglo Fribourg-Freiburg », « Lugano-Malcantone », « Sion », « Sierre », « La Côte », « Velo Bern » à Berne et « Züri Velo » à Zurich.

Lausanne-Morges
Le réseau Lausanne-Morges était le plus important réseau PubliBike avec ses 30 stations réparties à Lausanne, Morges, Renens, Tolochenaz, Préverenges et sur le campus UNIL-EPFL. Mis en service en juin 2009, il était co-exploité par PubliBike et la Fondation Le Relais. Il était financé par les villes de Morges et de Lausanne, la Fondation pour les étudiants de l'EPFL, la Loterie romande, l'Institut de hautes études en administration publique, Medtronic et Nespresso.

Le 30 novembre 2017, un nouveau système intégrant des vélos électriques est mis en place.

Agglo Fribourg-Freiburg

Le réseau Agglo Fribourg-Freiburg compte initialement dix stations réparties à Fribourg, Marly et Villars-sur-Glâne. Mis en service en avril 2010, il est exploité par ORS Service AG et financé par les trois communes, la Banque cantonale de Fribourg, le Groupe E et l'Agglomération de Fribourg. Le système a été modernisé le 3 juillet 2018 et comptait alors 9 stations et 100 vélos.

Lugano-Malcantone
Le réseau de Lugano compte initialement douze stations réparties à Lugano, Paradiso, Melide, Morcote et Capriasca. Mis en service en juillet 2010, il est exploité par le Dicastero Giovani e Lavoro et la ville de Lugano. Il est financé par les villes de Lugano et de Paradiso.

Le système est renouvelé fin 2017 et étendu en  avec quatre nouvelles stations à Bioggio, Collina d'Oro, Muzzano et Agno.

Sion
Le réseau de Sion, financé par la ville, compte initialement sept stations réparties sur le territoire communal. Mis en service en novembre 2010, il est exploité par CarPostal. Le réseau est modernisé en mars 2018, et compte alors neuf stations.

Sierre
Le réseau de Sierre, financé par la ville, compte dix-huit stations ; il fonctionne depuis le .

La Côte
Le réseau de La Côte compte treize stations réparties à Nyon, Gland et Prangins. Mis en service en juin 2011, il est exploité par l'association Pro-Jet qui s'inscrit dans le cadre des offres transitoires entre la scolarité obligatoire et l'entrée en formation secondaire II. Le réseau est modernisé en 2018, mais son extension est bloqué par un contentieux juridique avec son concurrent Intermobility, exploitant de Velospot. Le tribunal administratif fédéral met fin à ce contentieux en juillet 2018, le réseau passera à 38 stations début 2019.

Berne
Le réseau de Berne comptait initialement huit stations réparties sur le territoire communal. Mis en service en avril 2012, il était exploité par GEWA.

Un nouveau système est lancé en juin 2018, qui reposerait à terme sur une flotte de  répartis sur environ 200 stations de location. Il serait le plus grand système de location de vélos en Suisse.

Zurich
Le , Zurich devient le  du service avec trois stations à titre expérimental.Au printemps 2018, le réseau définitif comptera 150 stations,  et  à assistance électrique.

Anciens réseaux

Les Lacs-Romont
Le réseau Les Lacs-Romont comptait dix stations réparties à Payerne, Avenches, Cheyres-Châbles, Estavayer et Morat. Mis en service en juillet 2011, il était exploité directement par PubliBike et il était financé par les communes, le Groupe E, la BCF et La Liberté. Il a été fermé en septembre 2018.

Riviera
Le réseau est mis en service en juillet 2009 par Velopass avec cinq stations à Vevey et à La Tour-de-Peilz. Il est financé par Nestlé Suisse et international, la ville de Vevey et la Loterie romande. Il est remplacé le 28 août 2015 par le réseau concurrent Velospot.

Chablais
Le réseau est mis en service le 25 octobre 2010 avec dix stations à Aigle et Monthey, financé par les communes, BASF et Manor Monthey. Faute de fréquentation, le service est arrêté le 31 janvier 2017.

Bulle
Le réseau est mis en service en juin 2011 avec deux stations à Bulle, il est financé par la ville de Bulle, le Groupe E, la Banque cantonale de Fribourg et Gruyère Énergie. Faute de fréquentation, il est démonté en 2016.

Yverdon-les-Bains
Le réseau d'Yverdon-les-Bains comptait neuf stations réparties sur le territoire communal. Mis en service en mai 2010, il était exploité par Caritas Vaud.

Autres
PubliBike était également présent avec des stations à Delémont, Soleure, Winterthour, Frauenfeld, Kreuzlingen, Rapperswil-Jona (2013-2016), Lucerne, Brigue et Bâle. Certaines de ces stations ont été retirées en 2016 et 2018.

Vélostation
La société PubliBike propose également un service de parkings sécurisés pour vélos personnels. En novembre 2010, elle a ainsi ouvert la première vélostation de Suisse romande, à la gare d'Yverdon-les-Bains. Accessible  sur 7,  sur 24 grâce à une carte d'accès (la même que pour les vélos en libre-service dans le cas d'abonnements combinés), la vélostation permet aux cyclistes de déposer leur vélo à l'abri des intempéries, dans un local fermé et surveillé.

Back of the Cereal Box: King Koopa's Kool Kartoon Klub for Kkids!
One of the things about The Simpsons that has always seemed anachronistic to me is Krusty the Clown. Bart and Lisa being kids born in the early 80s, they shouldn't be watching a live-action Bozo the Clown type, and it's all the more so now that Bart and Lisa are kids born in the early 2000s. I didn't grow up watching any Bozo facsimile every weekday afternoon. My cartoons just introduced themselves. In fact, I think I wouldn't have liked a non-animated presence in these children's programming blocks. (No, shut up -- it's perfectly normal and healthy for children to relate more to anthropomorphic cartoons than it is to other humans.) But apparently this wasn't the case for all kids my age, and some of us actually had regional kids shows.
Like the ones who got King Koopa's Kool Kartoons.
Apparently the kids in the audience got to take the T-shirts home with them, but they had to turn in the Koopa Troopa helmets after taping completed, which makes me wonder if any of them are still floating around in L.A. A Google search, alas, has turned up nothing. I'd imagine that most thrift stores that actually had these weird, flesh-colored turtle helmets sitting around wouldn't even know what the hell they were supposed to be.
At least one kid from Whittier got a Power Glove out of it, though. That's something.
I mean, someone should have gotten something out of this -- you know, aside from nightmares about a real-life malformed Koopa forcing you to watch public domain cartoons.
Discussion question: Should 1989 be far enough along, culturally speaking, that people should know that switching out the letter "C" for the letter "K," especially in alliteration, has some nasty associations?
I'm younger than you and I got Bozo (I think; I at least attended a game show emceed by him, but I don't think it was televised), but I grew up in Great Lakes region.
I've also long suspected that he was named after the Algonquian folk trickster-god Manabhozo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manabozo), though I've nothing substantiate it aside from general region and the fact they're both clowns. But, if true, I think it's neat that a piece of precolonial culture had such an impact on modern America (albeit one that's on the fast track of obscurity).
As someone from Ohio, I got to see a lot of Bozo, since his most popular incarnation was based in Chicago. I don't really remember if he introduced cartoons, though. I mostly remember his live action skits and the ball in cup game for prizes.

A website is an extremely important asset for a school, as it's usually the first thing a person will see when researching a particular school. Enniskillen Integrated Primary School understand the importance of theirs and were keen, according to Jamie Johnston - IT Coordinator, to make sure that it was colorful, child friendly and primary focused. This would encourage staff, students and parents to fully utilize and engage with the website.
To use Webanywhere's School Jotter 2 was based upon other school designs showcased in Webanywhere's portfolio.
Enniskillen Integrated Primary School needed a site where they could control their own content, managing the site internally.
In addition, Enniskillen wanted the creative flexibility to ensure they got exactly what they wanted in terms of website design. Listening to their needs, Webanywhere were able to provide a site that encapsulated the school's vision, rather than what a designer thought the school should have. Jamie feels that Webanywhere took what the school wanted and nailed it.
After a straightforward set-up process, which included training and regular contact with Webanywhere, Enniskillen Integrated Primary School had a school website that was bright, fun and easy to use. Jamie says that the customer service was fantastic, with all questions being answered and issues being resolved within a day.
Now that the site is live, Enniskillen can share resources, information, news and pictures, creating an integrated school community for parents, teachers and children.

Bellwether Report Q1 2020
UK marketing budgets decline at fastest rate since 2009 global financial crisis
Q1 2020 Bellwether Report
The far-reaching negative economic impact from the global coronavirus pandemic is laid bare in the Q1 2020 IPA Bellwether Report, published today (22 April).
Data for the first quarter showed the strongest reduction to total marketing budgets since the global financial crisis in 2009 as emergency public health measures to stem the spread caused a sudden stop in consumer and business spending.
According to the latest data, which were compiled between 02-27 March 2020, a net balance of -6.1% of companies revised their total marketing budgets lower. This was a notable swing from the final quarter of 2019, where the net balance stood at +4.0% and signalled the strongest quarter-on-quarter fall in total marketing expenditure since the end of 2009. Precisely 25% of panel members recorded a budget cut, compared to 18.9% signalling growth.
Coronavirus pandemic causes broad-based cuts to all forms of marketing activity, with market research and events the main casualties
Market research was the worst-performing category of the survey in the first quarter (net balance of -21.0%), followed by events (net balance of -15.9%) and public relations (-14.3%). None of the broad slices of total marketing budgets saw growth, with direct marketing and sales promotions observing the slowest reductions (net balances of -6.6% and -7.2% respectively). The key brand-building category, main media, recorded its strongest downward revision since 2009 (net balance of -9.9%).
Budget forecasts for 2020/21 point to strong optimism as firms expect UK economy to recover during the coming financial year
There was plenty of upside from the 2020/21 financial year budget plans, however, which showed expectations for a sharp rise in total marketing budgets over the coming year as a number of Bellwether panel members foresee a quick economic recovery.
A net balance of +16.2% of firms anticipate higher spending allocations over the next 12 months, signalling a strong level of optimism and suggests that many companies plan to grow their businesses and brands. A number of companies also expressed a determination to tackle the current challenging economic climate, which they expect to be short-lived. Encouragingly, the crucial main media advertising segment recorded the strongest forecasts, with a net balance of +8.4% of companies expecting upward budget revisions. Events marketing budgets are also set to see growth (net balance of +6.3%) once public health restrictions are relaxed. Modest upward revisions to direct marketing budgets are forecast (net balance of +3.7%), while the outlook for public relations was narrowly positive (net balance of +0.6%).
Elsewhere, panel members took a neutral stance regarding sales promotions in the year ahead (net balance of +0.0%), while market research and other advertising budgets were the sole categories to record forecasts in negative territory (net balances of -0.6% and -7.9% respectively).
Company-specific and industry-wide financial prospects turn strongly pessimistic
Latest survey data indicated a sharp deterioration in both company-specific and industry-wide financial prospects during the first quarter.
Sentiment around own-company prospects moved into negative territory, reversing the marginal improvement seen at the end of last year which followed the partial decline of political uncertainty after the general election. A net balance of -26.0% of firms felt less optimistic towards their company-specific financial prospects, down sharply from +1.0% in the previous quarter to the lowest since the global financial crisis in 2009. Almost half (46%) of panel members were pessimistic, compared to approximately 20% who still foresee growth.
Industry-wide financial prospects were also down sharply as a net balance of -42.0% of surveyed firms were downbeat compared to three months ago. This was a steep decline from Q4, where the net balance stood at -21.0% and marked the weakest reading since 2011. The 11.5% of firms which viewed the prospects for their industries in a positive light were completely outweighed by the 53.5% who expect conditions to deteriorate.
Adspend forecast to shrink in 2020, but recovery set for 2021 onwards
Given the extreme degree of uncertainty surrounding the UK at present, the IPA Bellwether Report adspend forecasts could be subject to substantial revision in the future as the impact of coronavirus on the UK economy becomes clearer in line with the release of official data statistics, which at present it lacks. The IPA Bellwether Report has used IHS Markit's latest forecasts for GDP, consumer spending and business investment which assume an extended lockdown to May but then a gradual reopening of parts of the economy.
IHS Markit estimates that GDP will contract by -4.3% in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, under which scenario the historical relationship with adspend implies a -13.7% decline in expenditure. However, as the current situation is clearly unprecedented, there is an unusually high degree of uncertainty pinned to these forecasts, with risks tilted to the downside.
Consequently, 2021 may also pose a difficult year for marketers as the recovery spills over, although Brexit negotiations and more uncertainty there be may creep back in. The IPA Bellwether Report forecasts another adspend rise modestly in 2021 (+1.0%), before seeing more robust growth in 2022 onwards.
Commenting on the latest survey:
Paul Bainsfair, IPA Director General:
"The Q1 results already reveal a sobering snapshot of the initial impact of COVID-19 on UK businesses' marketing decisions despite fieldwork for this quarter's Bellwether Report closing just a few days after Government enacted the lockdown.
These are undoubtedly the toughest overall trading times that any business and indeed any marketer will have ever experienced, but while we suspect the fuller, sharper extent of this global pandemic to be captured in Q2 data, the hope from this report is that we will see a more upbeat end to the year.
"To achieve this return to growth will require UK marketers to make bold decisions. When recession looms it is understandable if businesses try and shore up short-term profits by cutting variable expenditure, such as advertising. However, as our evidence from past downturns shows, unless companies are saving cash simply to survive, or because they can no longer supply advertised services, cutting ad budgets – relative to competitor spend – is a high risk strategy. Such a move exposes firms to losing market share, foregoing sales and delaying the recovery of profits in the long term. Those brands that hold their nerve will gain extra share of voice which will achieve competitive gains."
Joe Hayes, Economist at IHS Markit and author of the Bellwether Report:
"Given the extraordinary challenges UK businesses are in the middle of combating, it comes as no surprise to see a reduction in marketing budgets in the first quarter. Firms are in survival mode, reallocating funds to service liabilities and keep the business alive. This is critical to ensure that they can keep staff on the payroll, which will give their businesses the best chance to recover when the time comes. It will also support the economy on a broader scale if people remain employed and are earning, as they will be in the position to go out and spend when the lockdown is over. Positively, it seems that a number of firms expect a quick economic recovery and are planning to boost marketing budgets later in the year."

Ankle replacement is a surgical procedure to place an artificial device in the ankle. The devices replace bone and joint structures damaged by disease or injury.
Severe damage to the joint from injury or illness, such as arthritis, can make it difficult to walk and do basic daily activities. This surgery may be considered if other treatment methods fail and the ankle is causing severe pain or disability.
Arrange for help at home.
Talk to your doctor about any allergies you have or medications you take. You may be advised to stop taking certain medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight before the day of your surgery unless otherwise instructed.
Install safety equipment in the bathroom, shower, or stairs.
Prepare a bedroom on the first floor if possible.
Remove any obstacles that may result in a fall, such as throw rugs or extension cords.
An incision will be made in the front or side of the ankle. The damaged tissue, including areas of bone, will be removed. The remaining bone will be trimmed and prepared for the artificial joint devices. The metal and plastic devices will be inserted into and secured to the bone. One part is placed onto bone of the leg and the lower part is connected to bones of the foot. The Achilles tendon may need to be lengthened to reduce the tension from the calf muscle.
After the changes are done, the incision will be closed with stitches or staples. A bandage will be placed on the incision.
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. There will be pain and discomfort after the procedure but it can be managed with medications.
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 1-3 days. If you have any problems, you may need to stay longer.
Recovery time will depend on overall health and amount of work that was done.
The ankle will not be able to support weight and may be immobilized for up to 6 weeks. Physical therapy will be recommended to help with strength, flexibility, and range of motion of the ankle.

The surveys are usually 5 to 10 minutes long but the surveys which take nearly 25 minutes of your time will pay you much higher. Whenever there will be survey which will fit your demographic profile, YouGov will send you an invitation through email.
The best way to earn money on such sites is by referring friends. And fortunately, YouGov does pay you to refer friends. So once your referred friend joins using your referral link and completes 3 surveys, you will get around $3.

Open plan classrooms the way forward
Despite much debate, Innovative Learning Environments are becoming an increasingly growing trend among Hawke's Bay schools.

Unlike the traditional single cell classrooms, where a teacher works with a single class, modern learning involves teachers working more collaboratively with students, either in different sized groups or individually.
Havelock North Primary School was one school that had already started implementing this style of learning and principal Nick Reed was full of praise.
"Parents are initially reluctant as having lots of kids in a space can be concerning for them but the data is very positive and it shows most kids thrive in this environment."
Year 2s were already learning collaboratively with three teachers working together and more flexible spaces were in the process of being built for the Year 5s and 6s.
"It is different for parents as they have all been to schools with one teacher and one classroom so we have to educate them along the way as it is a whole new mind shift."
Waipukurau Primary School was also engaging in this flexible learning with the Year 7s and 8s.
Principal Tim Hocquard said it had been very successful with their students able to take responsibility for their own learning.
"We started this at the start of the year and students have learnt better self management and they are more capable on their own. We are moving away from total teacher control."
Mr Hocquard said this style was a better use of teacher resources and allowed the kids to develop more agency for their learning.
The classrooms were joined together in an L shape and teachers took different workshops within the space.
Mr Hocquard said students could elect to go to a workshop based on their needs or teachers would tell them to go.
Head of the Education Infrastructure Service Kim Shannon said a number of schools had developed Innovative Learning Environments, whether as a part of new builds and redevelopments, or through adjustments to their existing spaces.
"Around $800,000 will be invested to build two new classrooms at Greenmeadows School in Napier. These will be delivered as Innovative Learning Environments. In the meantime, they have created innovative spaces in their existing classrooms."
Taradale School was similarly converting three teaching spaces into an innovative learning environment and Clive School was managing their own design and build process, and were also extending their existing Innovative Learning Environment space.
Ms Shannon said these flexible learning projects also included high standards of lighting, acoustics, and air quality and the installation of new information technology and furniture. A variety of mobile furniture meant that teaching spaces could be rearranged as classes moved through different learning activities.

King's School headmaster Tony Sissons says flexible learning spaces should allow students to break out of their classroom and work both individually and in groups, but not at the expense of their relationship with their classroom teacher.

The ACLU tested facial recognition software with photos of Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots players. It misidentified 28 of them

The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts conducted a test of facial recognition technology to identify 188 New England athletes. The test misidentified 28, matching them to mugshots in the arrest photo database.
The facial recognition technology is called "Amazon Rekognition," and was unveiled by the company in 2016.
"Amazon Rekognition is based on the same proven, highly scalable, deep learning technology," states the website. "Developed by Amazon's computer vision scientists to analyze billions of images and videos daily and requires no machine learning expertise to use."
The test included official headshots of well-known athletes from the Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots and compared them with 20,000 public arrest photos.
"This technology is flawed," said New England Patriots safety Duron Harmon was one of the 28 misidentified. "If it misidentified me, my teammates, and other professional athletes in an experiment, imagine the real-life impact of false matches. This technology should not be used by the government without protections. Massachusetts should press pause on face surveillance technology."
A similar test conducted last year by the ACLU of California misidentified 28 sitting members of Congress who were disproportionately people of color, including six members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
In May, the BBC reported that facial recognition software's ability to recognize black and minority faces has become a concern for those worried about the technology which could mean black and minority ethnic people could be falsely identified.
"The results of this scan add to the mounting evidence that unregulated face surveillance technology in the hands of government agencies is a serious threat to individual rights, due process, and democratic freedoms," said Kade Crockford, director of the Technology for Liberty Program at the ACLU of Massachusetts. "Face surveillance is dangerous when it doesn't work, and when it does."
In addition to Harmon, the ACLU of Massachusetts is pushing for a state moratorium on government use of facial recognition software.
"There are currently no rules or standards in place in our state to ensure the technology isn't misused or abused," said Crockford. "Massachusetts must pass a moratorium on government use of face surveillance technology until there are safeguards in place to keep people safe and free."
In 2017, Washington County Sheriff's Office in Oregon became the first law enforcement agency in the country known to use Amazon's artificial-intelligence tool Rekognition.

The west side of Los Angeles is useful and invigorating; it's a melting pot of cultures, ages, and lifestyles. Locals love the beaches for surfing and the Santa Monica mountains for hiking, while the great diversity in restaurants and cultural attractions add to the unique feel of our area.
West LA's collegial environment has the feel of an expanded residency program. With our flat hierarchy, the medical staff is well integrated and supportive from all sides. Opinions count, whether from the most junior or senior physicians, promoting open dialogue and a strong camaraderie.
