Parafia Przenajświętszego Sakramentu w Zieleniewie – mariawicka parafia kustodii płockiej, Kościoła Katolickiego Mariawitów w RP.

Świątynią parafialną była kaplica domowa pod wezwaniem Przenajświętszego Sakramentu, znajdująca się w Zieleniewie, w gminie Daszyna, powiecie łęczyckim, województwie łódzkim. Obecnie wierni spotykają się na modlitwę w prywatnych domach.

Parafia obejmuje następujące miejscowości: Zieleniew, Rzędków, Odechów, Nowa Wieś, Kadzidłowa i Kłodawa.

Wierni Kościoła Katolickiego Mariawitów są chowani na cmentarzu mariawickim w Nowej Sobótce, tam również znajduje się kościół pw. św. Mateusza Apostoła i Ewangelisty i św. Rocha Wyznawcy, będący siedzibą parafii Kościoła Starokatolickiego Mariawitów.

Historia
Mariawityzm w rejonie Mazewa i okolic pojawił się dzięki słynnej duszpasterskiej działalności o. Jana Marii Michała Kowalskiego, proboszcza parafii rzymskokatolickiej w Starej Sobótce w latach 1905–1906. Wierni z okolicznych parafii przybywali licznie na nabożeństwa do Starej Sobótki, a następnie do Nowej Sobótki, gdzie utworzono siedzibę nowej parafii. Nowy ruch religijny zyskał licznych zwolenników w sąsiadującej z parafią sobótkowską, parafią św. Jana Chrzciciela w Mazewie.

W roku 1907 w Nowej Sobótce rozpoczęto budowę kościoła oraz domu parafialnego, urządzono cmentarz wyznaniowy i ustanowiono główną siedzibę dla proboszcza czterech mariawickich parafii: sobótkowskiej, grabowskiej, mazewskiej i krośniewickiej. Każda z wymienionych parafii posiadała odrębny zarząd, radę parafialną i osobowość prawną.

30 czerwca 1908 została poświęcona przez ks. Tomasza Marię Gabriela Krakiewicza kaplica domowa we wsi Zieleniew, w domu Józefa Waliszewskiego. W kaplicy przechowywano Przenajświętszy Sakrament i sprawowano msze święte, adorację eucharystyczną oraz różne nabożeństwa okresowe. Kaplicą opiekowały się siostry zakonne ze Zgromadzenia Sióstr Mariawitek. Przez krótki okres istniała również kaplica domowa w Rzędkowie.

W roku 1909 na terenie tej parafii było aż 750 mariawitów, mieszkających głównie w miejscowościach: Rzędków, Żelazna, Jarochów, Jarochówek, Mazew, Sławoszew, Gąsiorów, Drzykozy, Zieleniew, Zagróbki i Daszyna. Ponadto do Mazewskiej Parafii Maryawitów pw. Przenajświętszego Sakramentu zaliczano mariawitów pochodzących z rzymskokatolickich parafii w Topoli Królewskiej, Siedlcu (20 wiernych) i Łęczycy (70 wiernych). Dane z roku 1916 podają liczbę 787 wiernych mazewskiej parafii mariawickiej. W 1923 roku parafia liczyła 810 wiernych.

Potężnym ciosem dla miejscowej społeczności było odejście proboszcza, ks. Krakiewicza, do Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego w 1923 roku. Wraz z nim odeszła od mariawityzmu znaczna część parafian. Na jego miejsce ustanowiono proboszczem parafii mariawickiej o. Franciszka Marię Alojzego Gromulskiego.

Po wprowadzeniu w mariawityzmie kapłaństwa niewiast, proboszczem parafii była siostra kapłanka Maria Eliza Patora, a wikariuszką parafii mazewskiej została siostra kapłanka Aniela Maria Teonilla Kołudzka, która mieszkała przy kaplicy w Zieleniewie.

W wyniku rozłamu w mariawityzmie w roku 1935, znaczna część wiernych okolicznych parafii mariawickich opowiedziała się po stronie arcybiskupa Marii Michała Kowalskiego. W parafii grabowskiej mariawici felicjanowscy urządzili kaplicę domową w domu państwa Włoszkiewiczów w Jastrzębi. W Kajewie, gdzie stanowili większość, przez rok spotykali się na modlitwę w miejscowym kościele mariawickim, następnie byli zmuszeni opuścić świątynię i przenieść się do kaplicy domowej. Dla wiernych parafii mazewskiej i sobótkowskiej odrębna kaplica mariawicka znajdowała się w Zieleniewie, w domu rodziny Waliszewskich, następnie przeniesiono ją do domu rodziny Wojterów. Pierwszym proboszczem parafii w Zieleniewie była siostra kapłanka Aniela Maria Teonilla Kołudzka. Następnie w latach 1938-1940 probostwo w Zieleniewie objęła siostra kapłanka Honorata Maria Zacharia Orłowska, skąd została przeniesiona do pracy w Felicjanowie.

Po jej przeniesieniu na nabożeństwa w miejscowych kaplicach przyjeżdżali kapłani i kapłanki z innych parafii, głównie z klasztoru w Felicjanowie. 2 lutego 1949 roku proboszczem parafii został kapłan Mieczysław Maria Felicjan Wojtera, pochodzący z Zieleniewa, który w międzyczasie obsługiwał również inne parafie. Z parafii Zieleniew pochodził także kapłan Kazimierz Maria Tymoteusz Anielak, urodzony 23 marca 1928 roku w Jarochówku, wyświęcony na kapłana 4 października 1951 roku w Felicjanowie. Kapłan M. Tymoteusz zajmował się krawiectwem, mieszkał na stałe w Felicjanowie, skąd pomagał jako wikariusz w obsłudze parafii Przenajświętszego Sakramentu w Grzmiącej. Często także przyjeżdżał do rodzinnej parafii, pomagając w jej obsłudze.

W 1954 roku parafia liczyła około 110 wyznawców, obejmowała dwie kaplice w Zieleniewie i Jastrzębi, należały do niej następujące miejscowości: Zieleniew, Gąsiorów, Zagróbki, Kutno, Krośniewice, Odechów, Jastrzębia, Kadzidłowa, Ostrówek, Grabina, Jarochówek, Rzędków, Morawce, Łubno i Kopyta. W 1958 roku kapłan M. Felicjan powrócił do Felicjanowa, skąd nadal opiekował się parafią w Zieleniewie. W obsłudze parafii pomagała także siostra kapłanka M. Magdalena. Do śmierci kapłana M. Felicjana (2007) w jego domu rodzinnym funkcjonowała kaplica domowa.

W chwili obecnej (rok 2020) nabożeństwa sprawowane są w prywatnych domach wiernych, przez miejscowych kapłanów i kapłanki ludowe. Kilka razy do roku wierni Kościoła Katolickiego Mariawitów są odwiedzani przez siostrę biskupkę Marię Rafaelę Woińską z Warszawy.

Wierni z okolic Zieleniewa i Sobótki odprawiają miesięczną adorację Przenajświętszego Sakramentu 22 dnia miesiąca, a z Kadzidłowej i okolic 28 dnia każdego miesiąca.

Spanish clubs protect the interest of young players, argues La Liga chief.
The president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, has defended Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, describing the transfer bans issued to both clubs as 'medieval'.
Real and Atletico were found guilty of breaching rules over the signing of 'minor' (under-18) players from overseas. FIFA has banned them from signing players for the next two transfer windows.
Diego Simeone will be unable to sign new players at Atletico if the ban is not overturned.
Both clubs have confirmed they will appeal against the ban, although a similar ban was issued to Barcelona in 2014 and their appeal was unsuccessful. Atletico lodged a formal appeal to FIFA's Appeal Committee on Tuesday. Both clubs will appeal as far as the Court of Arbitration for Sport if necessary.
With no players coming in, Zidane says that players like Cristiano Ronaldo are "Untransferable".
Speaking to an audience at a conference in Brussels, Tebas critcised the decision to ban the teams from making transfers. He argued that youth players who arrive from overseas not only receive a great footballing education but are also well looked after by the clubs.
"It is medieval and anachronistic that FIFA punishes Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico for having model academies where the children receive not just a great sporting formation, but also education," Tebas said.
Tebas said that FIFA should look to change its rules, because at present the clubs are being punished for assisting the development of young players.
"La Liga is against child slavery and trafficking of minors but this has nothing to do with coming to play football at the schools of Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico, because it is undoubtable that there they are well looked after," he added.


QPR have further bolstered their attack with the loan signing of striker Nahki Wells.
The 28-year-old arrives from Premier League side Burnley, joining until the end of the season.
Bermuda-born Wells comes with plenty of Championship experience, having scored 48 goals in 152 appearances previously with Huddersfield Town – hitting double figures in each of his three full seasons with the Terriers, with whom he helped fire to promotion in 2016/17.
"It's a challenge that excites me a lot," Wells told www.qpr.co.uk.
Wells – who has found the net on each of his previous three outings at Loftus Road – is excited about playing in front of the R's faithful.
QPR's latest addition Nahki Wells says he's hoping to make an immediate impact after joining the club on a season-long loan from Burnley FC.
"I've always enjoyed my visits to Loftus Road," he added. "It's a great ground.
Wells joins fellow frontman Tomer Hemed, following the Israeli's arrival from Brighton & Hove Albion earlier on Thursday.
R's boss Steve McClaren is pleased to have both on board, adding: "I'm delighted with Tomer and Nahki now too to join him.
"I know them very well – they're a nightmare to play against! I'm glad to have them in our squad. They're two very good strikers with great pedigree and experience.
"Nahki is proven, he scores goals. He's scored goals at this level, he's played in a team which has secured promotion so he's someone who's been there and done it.
Wells will wear the number 32 shirt and could make his debut against Wigan Athletic on Saturday.

NORTEL (MOODIE DRIVE) MARSH & TRAILS
Spring: *** Summer: ** Fall: ** Winter: *
Independent Directions to this Site: From Highway 417 (The Queensway) take exit 134 (Moodie Drive). If travelling west, the 0.4 km offramp dumps you right or north onto Moodie. If driving east, a 0.3 km offramp brings you to Moodie Drive, where you will turn left or north onto it and in 0.5 km join the westbound offramp traffic. Both groups will now follow Moodie Drive north 0.9 km from here to the marsh, on the left just before the Nortel Complex South Ring Road on the left. You can either pull well off the road here or turn left or southwest into the ring road and park along it.
Ottawa River West: Ontario Route Directions: From the Stillwater - Dick Bell Park parking lot, turn right or northwest on Carling Avenue and go 1.1 km to Moodie Drive. Turn left or south onto Moodie and proceed 0.4 km to the marsh, on the right just beyond the Nortel Complex South Ring Road on the left. You can either pull well off the road here or turn right or southwest into the ring road and park along it.
Map of Nortel (Moodie Drive) Marsh & Trails
Site Description and Birding Information: This marsh has been the site of some exciting discoveries recently. It had been notable in the past for having a small heronry farther back, behind the present marshy pond. Construction of the Nortel South Ring Road and various trails may have changed the hydrology and given the birds a new home and us a new birding spot. The heronry, however, seems to be abandoned. The "new" marsh can be best viewed from the trail passing behind it, easily accessible from the Nortel Complex South Ring Road. Trails branch out from the main bicycle path into the area behind the marsh. The bike paths continue south to the Stony Swamp Loop Corkstown Road site and west along the south edge of the Nortel Complex. A new line of thorn bushes blocks the view from the shoulder of Moodie Drive, though one can still walk across to the bushes and peer through them. However, the best views are from the brem paralleling the bike path south of the pond.
Moodie Drive Marsh Looking West Trail Junction South of Moodie Drive Marsh
The pond/marsh seems to be rapidly filling in with cattails. This site may not be as productive in years to come. But, for now, look around the margins of the pond for shorebirds and marshbirds in season. Green Heron can be found in summer. The bike paths traverse second growth woodland and wet spots going west; and marshy and field areas going south toward Corkstown Road. A Great Gray Owl was seen along the latter stretch on both Jan. 9 and 16, 2005.
The Patagonia Picnic Table Effect * was in play here in 2003. A Glossy Ibis was found here May 17, 2003. Two Least Bittern were found later the same day, as well as Sora and Marsh Wren. On Sept. 1, 2003, 4 very vocal and visible Sedge Wren were discovered. Sedge Wrens were discovered singing in the marshy area at Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road in June 2005. (* Bird sightings beget more bird sightings. Derives from rare bird discoveries at a Patagonia, AZ picnic area.) A male Red-bellied Woodpecker was seen on the trail west of parking lot in the Nortel Campus on Mar. 11-13, 2007.
Moodie Drive Marsh Looking East Green Heron - Moodie Drive Marsh - July 10, 2004
Ottawa River West: Ontario Route Directions: From where you are parked to visit the Moodie Drive Marsh & Trails, return to Moodie Drive and take it NNW for 0.4 km to Carling Avenue.

HOUSTON - A tiger found Monday at an abandoned southeast Houston home is expected to be transported to her permanent home Tuesday, according to police.
News 6 partner KPRC-TV in Houston reported that crews were set to transport the tiger to an undisclosed animal sanctuary at 8:30 a.m. Before leaving, a vet will possibly give the animal a visual check-up to see if she needs immediate medical attention.
BARC officers found the tiger on Monday. They called Houston police, who were able to secure a warrant and remove the tiger.
Watch KPRC-TV video below for more details.
Officials said the tiger will be taken to the BARC animal shelter at 3300 Carr St. BARC will be the tiger's temporary home.

In a taste of what's likely to come for much of the Bay Area, the city of Pleasanton moved this week to crack down on big water users with fines.
Starting May 15, city water customers will have to reduce their water consumption by 25 percent compared with 2013 or pay a penalty that varies with how much a customer went over the limit and for how long. Bills could double or triple, according to the fine schedule.
"It's designed to be a stop sign to say, 'Hey, you don't understand. We have a water shortage,'" said Daniel Smith, the city's director of operations services.
The conservation policy, approved Tuesday by the City Council, comes as state officials draft mandatory cuts for water agencies across California amid a fourth year of drought.
The state's proposed reduction figures have prompted several places, such as Pleasanton — which faces a 24 percent mandatory cut citywide — to take action.
The city of Beverly Hills, one of the state's biggest per-capita water users, also approved a cap on its water customers this week in an effort to meet its proposed 36 percent reduction. The city is requiring residents to trim consumption by 30 percent over last year as well as heed several new outdoor watering restrictions.
The State Water Resources Control Board, at the order of Gov. Jerry Brown, is expected to complete its mandates for communities next week.

The conservation effort in Pleasanton doesn't come as a surprise. The East Bay municipality saw its water supply dip significantly last year and was forced to enact an almost identical conservation policy.
"The game this year is a lot different," Smith said. "We're all in this together now."
State water records show Pleasanton cut back 31 percent between June 2014 and February 2015 — among the highest water conservation rates in the state. In the process, officials said, the city levied $1.2 million worth of fines.

Future Fund: Breakthrough breaks free
By Dan Pritchard	29 July 2021 No Comments
Home » Future Fund: Breakthrough breaks free
This is a guest post from Bishop Fleming, a Top 30 accounting firm in the UK and an award winning tax practice. Bishop Fleming are the Headline Partner for the Tech South West Awards 2021.
As announced in the Spring 2021 Budget, a new £375m Future Fund: Breakthrough scheme has been launched to help support high growth, innovative and R&D intensive firms.
The scheme allows the government to co-invest with private investors to help scale-up innovations across UK industries including life sciences and clean technology
Under the initiative, the government will help firms looking to raise at least £30m of investment, and the business must have commitments of 70% of an investment round from private investors with a track record of financing innovative companies – such as venture capitalists.
As well as life sciences, the scheme covers quantum computing and clean technology in order to help accelerate breakthrough innovations such as developing life-saving new medicines and technologies that support the UK's transition to net zero.
Due to high research and development costs, breakthrough technology companies typically require more capital over longer time periods than other companies to bring their products to market.
The government says that the UK's most innovative companies are key drivers of future growth and estimate that 1% growth in these firms could grow the UK economy by £38 billion.
Previously, the government launched the Future Fund to support high-growth firms during the pandemic. That scheme has now closed.
The government continues to support innovative companies through its Plan for Growth, the new Future Fund: Breakthrough being a key part.

Marketing Disruption: Role of the CIO
Shirish Lal, COO and CTO, Harte Hanks
The last 5 years has seen a dramatic change in CMO's engagement in technology decisions. From Gartner declaring the CMO will make more IT purchasing decisions than the CIO; to Accenture becoming the world's largest digital agency; to a growth in the number of MarTech vendors from less than 500 to over 4,000—there has been a paradigm shift for CMOs.
We work with more than 50 marketing departments at Harte Hanks, and we have come to believe that the companies with a strong partnership between the CIO and CMO will be most successful in managing this disruption in the marketing function.
The Evolution of CRM
This table shows our view of the evolution of marketing and what we believe will emerge as CRM 3.0 in next few years.
The traditional marketing model in which big brands relied on branding and control of "shelf space" is changing rapidly. An example is Nike's decision to begin selling their products on Amazon despite not being able to a display their product the way they wanted the Nike brand presented. We are working with many companies that are facing the realization that the retailer or dealer is not going to be the customer going forward. Brands need to have a one to one relationship directly with the customer. Even companies selling via direct sales to enterprise clients tell us most customers have done their research on the web prior to any discussion with a sales representative.
The challenge for marketers is that prospects are directing their own individual purchasing journeys, often leveraging digital and social for research and other influencers, even if they do not buy online. While brands will always be important, there will be no putting the "genie back in the bottle." Customers are driving the purchasing process, and marketers are at the mercy of a free-for-all environment in digital and social. This puts the marketer in the position of having to understand individual customers and their stage of buying process and be able to deliver compelling content and offers at the right time, in the right outlet. Very few companies we have worked with have the technical and data infrastructure to deliver on this challenge.
A Partnership is Required for Success
We believe the journey to CRM 3.0 is best undertaken with a partnership between the CIO and CMO. CRM 3.0 immediately resonates with most CMOs we have spoken to, but they do not have the technical knowledge to lay out a roadmap for how to build systems and data architecture (which they must do while also delivering value at each step along the way). Most CMOs are under pressure to achieve short-term results and cannot make a long-term investment that does not have near-term returns.
CIOs will need to take on the challenge of marketing disruption with the following approaches:
o Partner with the CMO– It is critical for the CIO and CMO to develop a common view of the direction of the marketing function and the type of architecture required to support the function. We believe this should include the CIO helping the CMO envision what is possible with new technologies, such as Hadoop, Spark, Cloud, etc.
The traditional marketing model in which big brands relied on branding and control of "shelf space" is changing rapidly.
o Focus on Marchitecture and Integration– The one certainty in the market is that there will continue to be tremendous innovation and change in martech space. We believe the ability to rapidly integrate and take advantage of new martech can be a core advantage for a company. But, the company must build a flexible marketing architecture that allows for ongoing integration of new technology. It also means the focus should be on building the right marchitecture and leveraging market innovation, rather than building custom solutions.
o Help CMOs Evaluate MarTech Options– With over 3,000 martech providers in the latest Lumascape, it is very difficult for most CMOs to keep up with the latest technologies available to accelerate the marketing function. During my time as CMO of CenturyLink, my marketing department identified and deployed several marketing technologies that had significant impact on our go-to-market performance. The best model is for the CIO to be an adviser to CMO on the latest technology trends in martech and which of those would help the marketing organization accelerate performance, while moving the company to its longer term marchitecture vision.
Key Investments for CRM 3.0
As the CIO/CMO partnership works toward achieving CRM 3.0 from a systems perspective, it will be critical to include the following investments:
• Business Intelligence Engine– The key foundation for CRM 3.0 is having a database and analytics engine that allows marketers to collect, analyze, and act upon large quantities of data about customers and prospects. This data should include both first party and third party structured and unstructured data. There are several key aspects to an architecture to allow for CRM 3.0:
o Supports Real-time Processing– Timely business Intelligence should drive point of sale interactions, as well as marketing tactics.
o Flexibility to Ingest New Data Sources– Sources of third party data, and potentially first party data, can change rapidly. It is important not to be tied into an inflexible data schema.
o Scalability– The ability to scale up and down quickly is an important part of giving marketing the flexibility necessary for testing and adding new sources of data.
o Data Prep and Analytics Automation– One of the challenges we see with many marketing departments is that they are spending 80 percent of their time on data prep and running core analytics and only 20 percent in real analysis. We believe the BI platform has to do more of the data preparation so 80 percent of time can be spent on real analysis.
o AI/Machine Learning– With the amount of potential data, including both structured and unstructured, AI and machine learning will be a necessary tool for finding valuable insights—rather than just relying on human driven analytics.
At Harte Hanks, we have partnered with Opera Systems, which has built a BI platform on top of cloud, Hadoop/Spark, and major analytics engines such as SAS and R, to provide customers the capabilities outlined above.
• Front Office Middleware and Engagement Engine– This element integrates across all channel systems and provides an abstraction layer for orchestrating cross-system customer journeys. With centralized logic and unified data from all channels and systems, companies can both understand and rapidly optimize the customer experience. And by moving business logic out of point solutions and into an integrated layer for orchestration, companies can easily adopt new technologies as they emerge.
Harte Hanks has partnered with User mind to provide this functionality for our customers.
• Legacy Systems– To provide coordination with legacy go to market systems, it is critical that IT makes the investment to build a services layer into legacy systems that allows interaction with a front office middleware capability, rather than trying to build additional business logic into legacy systems.
Harte Hanks has partnered with Wipro to provide a broad set of capabilities to maintain and support Legacy Systems across a wide variety of environments.
The End Result
The ultimate goal of evolving toward CRM 3.0 is that marketers will be able to use these more advanced and connected technologies and data to bring the human touch back to marketing. By optimizing customer experience and building toward the right vision and architecture, the CIO/CMO partnership can have the best of both worlds: delivering short-term improvements and returns while making a more profound impact as the company journeys closer to the ideal.

A man has stabbed 6 people in Russell Square in London leaving one of them dead.
The identity of the attacker hasn't been released but counter-terrorism officers are involved and the police have already mentioned mental health issues which follows the same pattern as French and German police after recent terrorist attacks there. We will no doubt soon learn that the attacker shouted Allahu Akbar while he was doing it and is probably a "refugee".
No amount of tooled up anti-terrorist police on the streets are going to prevent terrorist attacks. The authorities have allowed terrorists and extremists into the country, failed to deport those who preach hatred and intolerance and allowed a parallel Islamic state to establish itself within these shores. Policies of appeasement, multiculturalism and mass immigration have created this situation and a hard line is needed to end it. Anyone who puts their religion before their country - whatever that religion - doesn't belong here.

Abstract: Lightweight concrete is a high performance material with advantages for a myriad of applications. It has the potential to be used in sophisticated structures like prefabricated high-rise construction and architectural icons, to simple low-cost housing and rapidly erected semi-permanent structures. There however remains significant lacunae in engineering knowledge with regards to shear response of reinforced concrete. This is especially true of lightweight concrete with and without aggregates which remains a maturing engineering material. While lightweight aggregate concrete has been introduced and successfully used in specialized environments, it has yet to generate mainstream acceptance as an alternative to normal weight concrete. An experimental program including 64 lightweight concrete beams without transverse reinforcement and 22 companion normal weight concrete reference beams were tested under monotonically increasing third point loading until ultimate physical failure. The results were analyzed and compared with empirical equations in the literature as well as international reinforced concrete building codes. Within the scope of this study, it was found that lightweight aggregate concrete beams without transverse reinforcement behaved in a similar manner to the reference normal weight concrete beams until the onset of diagonal cracking. Thereafter, while normal weight concrete beams were able to continue resisting shear until a flexural mode of physical failure occurred, lightweight aggregate concrete was unable to develop sufficient resistance and physically failed in a brittle shear mode. Foamed concrete and lightweight aggregate-foamed concrete also responded to loads like normal weight concrete. Diagonal cracking occurred at lower loads than both normal weight concrete and lightweight aggregate concrete due to its tensile strength being much lower than the reference concrete although having comparable compressive strengths. Nevertheless, after the onset of diagonal cracking, foamed concrete and lightweight aggregate-foamed concrete was able to continue resisting a significant amount of shear prior to physical ultimate failure. This ability was found to be due to the irregular and angular cracking plane at the macro level compared to the smooth crack surface at the micro level. Using the diagonal cracking and ultimate shear capacity data generated from this test program and the rigorous observations recorded, a prediction equation was derived for shear strength of lightweight concrete beams without transverse shear reinforcement based on the parametric behavior model of Russo et al. (2005). This diagonal cracking equation was then tested against the results of a set of rectangular lightweight concrete beams as well as data from the literature and found to be in good agreement across the range of parameters tested including with and without shear reinforcement. Comparison of the performance of these lightweight high-strength concrete beams with and without transverse reinforcement against design equations of the American Concrete Institute and the British Standards Institute show that the design equations can be used with confidence. Diagonal cracking of lightweight concrete beams only occur beyond the design loads and deflection limits imposed. However, caution should be exercised when considering the behavior of lightweight concrete beams beyond service loads as the physical shear capacity of the material may be exhausted prior to its flexural capacity.

Institutional Investor is out with its list of top-earning hedge fund managers for 2017 and the numbers are eyepopping. Renaissance Technol-ogies' Jim Simons topped the list, earning $1.7 billion, followed by Appaloosa Management's David Tepper with $1.5 billion. Citadel's Ken Griffin brought home $1.4 billion and Bridgewater Associates' Ray Dalio made $1.3 billion.
The top 25 hedge fund managers earned a combined $15.4 billion, up 40% from 2016. Not surprisingly, hedge funds in 2017 generated their best average performance over the past several years which led to higher payouts for big managers. Hedge funds ended 2017 with positive returns in every month, the first perfect calendar year since 2003, according to hedge fund research provider HFR.
Of all the misconceived stereotypes about working for a hedge fund, the biggest one is around pay. Many people underestimate how long and hard you'll have to work to achieve the eye-popping salaries and bonuses that make headlines. For every Chris Rokos, who earned around $900m over a decade working for Brevan Howard, there are plenty making decidedly less. Those who start out earn an average of $90-125k.
"One of the biggest misconceptions people have is if you work at a hedge fund then you don't really have to do a lot and you make a lot of money and you have a great life forever, but that's not reality," says Afroz Qadeer, the CEO of Kettle Hill Capital Management and a member of the Mid-Atlantic Hedge Fund Association. "People think you're essentially a master of the universe, but in reality, you put in a lot of hard work, a lot of long hours."
1. You will not earn millions working for a hedge fund unless you're very lucky. David Kochanek, the publisher of the HedgeFundCompen-sationReport.com, agrees that it is common to overestimate how much a typical hedge fund professional makes. The owners of large hedge funds regularly make the rich lists, but it's only the lucky few that earn over seven figures. "About half of the respondents in our study reported making between $100k and $300k," Kochanek says. Less than 10% reported earning more than $1m in cash compensa-tion. For those making north of a million dollars, more than 70% of their cash compensation was from their bonus, a portion of which they typically have to invest back into the fund. The Fund Compensation Report by SumZero suggests that hedge funds with between $5-10bn in assets under management are likely to pay you the most.
2. You will work incredibly hard, often outside of your job description. When you start out at a hedge fund, expect your daily routine to involve long hours and a wide range of tasks. The smaller the firm, the wider the range of responsibilities employees are required to take on. "It is difficult to get a good job working for a hedge fund," says George Schultze, the CEO of Schultze Asset Management and a member of the Hedge Fund Association's board of directors. "Most hedge funds are small businesses and therefore their employee needs may include jobs that are not that glamorous. "Expect to work hard and wear lots of hats as you break into this industry," he adds. "Know that there are limited openings so that competition can be extreme. Be prepared to work more for experience than for high levels of pay – that's the best way to enter this business if you really want in." Qadeer agrees that hedge funds tend to have a chal-lenging working environment, which is exacerbated at smaller and medium-sized firms that don't have a big support structure. "You'll be doing more than one thing and you have to be prepared to get your hands dirty," he says.
3. All hedge funds are not the same. There's a misconception that hedge funds represent a monolithic industry, says Victoria Hart, a port-folio manager at Pinnacle View Capital Management, a long/short equity hedge fund. Depending on the type, focus or investment style of the fund, the AuM, the turnover, the level of interaction with the co-founders or partners and various other characteristics, the expe-rience of working at one hedge fund can be radically different from that of another. "They get lumped together, and then many stereo-types get drawn and associated to all [hedge] funds, without understanding that there are important distinctions between funds," Hart says.
4. Making it takes a lot of time. Some aspiring and early-career-stage hedge fund professionals underestimate how long it takes to master the skills and acquire the expertise required to succeed over the long term. On the investment side, you need to have real-life experi-ence through many market cycles to appreciate how markets turn, Hart says. Sales/marketing requires time to cultivate relationships and learn the art of persuasion and selling techniques. And operations is riddled with many important details to learn, she noted. "[An-other] misperception is that you need to be a rock star at just one thing," Hart says. "All of these roles require multiple skills; you can't just be good at only one thing." You need analytical skills for an investment role, but you also need good communication skills to get your ideas across, she says. "Sales and marketing requires solid verbal and written communication skills, but also someone who is facile enough with math to understand the product."
5. It doesn't pay off to be known as a jerk who loses his temper. People who have the ability to perform well under pressure and possess the full range of skills, including emotional intelligence or "people skills," are more successful over the long haul, says one hedge fund portfolio manager. In contrast, someone who flies off the handle and has a temperament that's more volatile most of the time it means that individual's emotional IQ is lower. That can limit some people's career progression if they don't compensate for those shortcomings with other factors. Short tempers won't be tolerated in someone who can't deliver, whereas for someone who delivers consistently strong performance, there's tolerance for such behavior, even though it is not welcomed. Softer skills come into play more once a hedge fund manager becomes a bit more senior – dealing with conflicts and stress well is an important leadership skill.
Having high levels of testosterone could result in worse performance — in your hedge fund portfolio, that is. High-testosterone hedge fund managers "significantly underperform" low-testosterone peers, according to research from the University of Central Florida and Singapore Management University. These "alpha males" post lower returns because they trade more frequently, tend toward high-risk, high-potential stock picks, and are reluctant to sell losing stocks, argued authors Yan Lu and Melvyn Teo. "Testosterone can shape trading behavior and lead to sub-optimal decisions," they wrote.
For the study, the pair examined the investment performance of 3,228 male fund managers from 1,901 investment firms operating hedge funds between January 1994 and December 2015. To estimate each manager's testosterone levels, Lu and Teo measured their facial width-to-height ratio — a representation of pubertal testosterone exposure that has been linked to high testosterone levels in adults. The research-ers found that managers with wider faces underperformed low-testosterone counterparts by 5.8 percent per year after adjusting for risk. These results were not explained by differences in illiquidity, fund age, or fund size. Moreover, they discovered that higher levels of testos-terone resulted in higher levels of operational risk, with these managers more likely to disclose regulatory actions and terminate their funds.
Still, Lu and Teo said at least one group of investors was more attracted to these lower-alpha, higher-risk hedge funds: investors with higher levels of testosterone. "The aggressive trading style of high-testosterone hedge funds may appeal to high-testosterone investors as it mirrors their own," they wrote. In the study, fund-of-fund managers with higher facial width-to-height ratios chose more high-testosterone manag-ers and underperformed thinner-faced peers by 5.03 percent per year. "In the context of the ultra-competitive and male-dominated hedge fund industry, where masculine traits such as aggression, competitiveness, and drive, are encouraged, expected, and even celebrated, our results on the underperformance of high-testosterone fund managers are indeed surprising," the authors concluded. "Investors will do well to go against conventional wisdom and eschew masculine fund managers."

Trade idea: Chris Paul goes to Knicks; Thunder get Julius Randle, picks

[jwplayer SJvFfL4z-z6KDnl0B]
In this trade proposal, the New York Knicks land their star with hopes it helps them in the 2021 free agency.
The Oklahoma City Thunder get back a young power forward and a pair of draft picks.
The proposal:
Thunder receive: Julius Randle, 2021 first-round pick (via Dallas Mavericks), 2023 top-7 protected first-round pick
Knicks receive: Chris Paul
Chris Paul-Lonzo Ball trade idea: Should Thunder, Pelicans swap PGs?
Trade idea: Nuggets get Chris Paul from Thunder to be third star
Why the Thunder do it
Oklahoma City needs a new power forward with Danilo Gallinari likely to leave in free agency, and Randle is a player the team can look at to see if he fits into the future.
Randle is a talented scorer. There's no denying it. From Dec. 11 through March 11, the final 40 games of the season, he averaged more than 21 points per game. He also averaged more than 10 rebounds.
But he shot 46% from the field, 27.7% from 3 and has a tendency to overlook passes in favor of taking it to the rim himself. He also does not play good defense.
I don't like calling players good stats, bad team guys, because if bad players could post 20/10s regularly, everybody would be doing it. But Randle, with a 132-262 career record (excluding his rookie year in which he played one game), has yet to show he impacts winning.
But that could be more of a system of the teams he's played on. The Knicks are not a model franchise. His lone season with the New Orleans Pelicans was filled with Anthony Davis drama. The Los Angeles Lakers had drama of their own during his time there, all of which ended without a playoff berth.
Oklahoma City gets one year guaranteed and a second year partially guaranteed. It's a good risk to take.
Then, the draft picks. The Dallas Mavericks' pick is likely to be a late first-rounder. The 2023 Knicks pick is lightly protected, but if the 2021 free agency doesn't go as New York hopes, that could easily be a lottery pick.
That 2023 pick is actually the real draw of the trade. It could be a star. Yet the Knicks may be willing to give it up because there's a chance they land a star with Paul's help.
Why the Knicks do it
New York, after failing to sign any of its targets last offseason, cannot go into 2021 with the same pitch. The organization needs a way to show the culture is changed. It needs to have a respected star helping pitch the team.
It needs someone like Chris Paul, who is an NBA All-Second Team player and the president of the players' association.
That free agency class is loaded. Randle isn't the player who will attract stars to join him.
If the Knicks don't believe Randle is a long-term solution at power forward — and there have been rumors throughout the season that he's a trade piece — giving him up isn't an issue. Nor is losing the Mavericks' 2021 pick, which should be in the late 20s. Using one of the Kristaps Porzingis picks to acquire Paul actually puts a sweeter taste in the mouth.
Knicks president Leon Rose is the former agent of Paul, so there's a strong connection there. Paul can be a very good mentor to young players, particularly RJ Barrett.
Plus, the salary doesn't cripple New York. Assuming the Knicks decline the options of Bobby Portis, Taj Gibson and Wayne Ellington, they'll still have about $20 million to spend after acquiring Paul, which would go up to $27 if they do not guarantee Elfrid Payton's full salary. Those financial figures depend on how far the salary cap drops this offseason.
About $5 million will go to the No. 8 pick and about $2 million to the No. 27 pick. That could leave the team with $20 million to spend on free agents, plus another player with the mid-level exception.
Chris Paul, RJ Barrett, Kevin Knox, Mitchell Robinson, two first-round draft picks, one or two free agents combined at $20 million and another free agent worth about $9 million is a much better corps than what the Knicks put on the court last season … in fact, is that a playoff team in the Eastern Conference?
Why the Thunder don't do it
As addressed above, there are a lot of question marks about Randle's upside. His team is on the hook for $18.9 million this coming season before a year with a non-guaranteed $19.8 million. If his 2020-21 team doesn't keep him for the following season, Randle would be on the books for $4 million in 2021-22, according to Jeff Siegel.
The team is trying to trim salary, and that's at least $22.9 million for a power forward when they could just slide Darius Bazley into the starting lineup and be done with it.
Why the Knicks don't do it
Apologies to Knicks fans who are about to read this sentence: Few assets are more valuable than a New York draft pick.
Though I expressed optimism the Knicks can get a star in 2021, and therefore limit how good that 2023 draft pick will be, how much confidence is there really that they can pull it off?
Trading Randle, who will be 26 next season, and taking a risk on giving up that draft pick is a lot to ask in exchange for an $85 million, 35-year-old point guard.
If Paul helps them fight for a playoff spot and get another star, the trade worked wonderfully. If not, they may lose a lottery pick.
Who says no?
I think the Knicks want Chris Paul and I think this is a simple way to get it done. Ultimately, though, I think giving away that 2023 pick scares them off. Maybe they could interest the Thunder in Knox instead of the pick (I personally would not be interested in Knox instead of the pick).
One coworker I approached with this idea said the Knicks should do the deal in a heartbeat, even if it was only top-5 protected. Another said he would do it if it were top-10 instead of top-7.
We'll leave it at top-7, and maybe the Knicks can negotiate it down to 10 with the Thunder having rights to a future pick if they end up with a pick better than 10 in 2023.

Q: Disable setup:di:compile Maybe this is a very silly question. I can not understand why I must run the command setup:di:compile every time I make changes to custom modules, to see the results when I am in developer mode.
Can it be disabled?

A: You should not run setup:di:compile in developer mode!
This command need only for production mode.

A: You don't need to run it. You can simply delete the directories under var/generation (or under generated/ after 2.2). Be careful not to the delete the .htaccess file. You only really ever need to do this when you create a new constructor or change or reorder the arguments being passed into one of your class constructors.
For 2.2 and onwards, Magento documentation suggests using this command:
rm -rf <magento_root>/generated/metadata/* <magento_root>/generated/code/*

For the first time since the third quarter of 2015, investors put more money into hedge funds than they redeemed during the second quarter.
Investors are warming up to hedge funds again. Total hedge fund capital rose by $34.1 billion in the second quarter, to $3.1 trillion, according to a new report from data tracker HFR. This is the fourth straight quarter that total capital rose. More significantly, this is the first quarter that allocations exceeded redemptions since the third quarter of 2015. Net inflows in the June period came in at $6.7 billion. In the first quarter of 2017 there were net outflows of $5.5 billion. Year-to-date there has been $1.2 billion in net inflows, according to HFR.
HFR points out that second-quarter asset flows were led by quantitative, trend-following global macro strategies, which historically have experienced low correlation to equity markets and other hedge fund strategies.
Corvex Management boosted its stake in Energen Corporation to 8.8 percent. In a regulatory filing, the activist hedge fund firm headed by Keith Meister said it intends to review its investment in the oil and gas exploration and production company but implied it had no specific plans for the company at this time. However, it used boiler-plate language to warn of some sort of future undefined action.
Point72 Asset Management disclosed it owns nearly 3.5 million shares of Red Rock Resorts, or 5.1 percent of the gaming company. At the end of the first quarter, Steven Cohen's family office owned about 108,000 shares plus put options on the stock.
Viking Global Investors participated in the $223 million financing of Vets First Choice, a provider of technology-driven healthcare services for veterinary medicine.

Q: Messaging technologies between applications ? Recently, I had to create a program to send messages between two winforms executable. I used a tool with simple built-in functionalities to prevent having to figure out all the ins and outs of this vast quantity of protocols that exist.
But now, I'm ready to learn more about the internals difference between each of theses protocols. I googled a couple of them but it would be greatly appreciate to have a good reference book that gives me a clean idea of how each protocol works and what are the pros and cons in a couple of context.
Here is a list of nice protocols that I found:

*

*Shared memory

*TCP

*List item

*Named Pipe

*File Mapping

*Mailslots

*MSMQ (Microsoft Queue Solution)

*WCF

I know that all of these protocols are not specific to a language, it would be nice if example could be in .net.
Thank you very much.

A: Most of the scenarios are supported through bindings in WCF.
For the official source you may look at WCF Feature Details, and good intro to Basic WCF Programming, and very detailed Introduction to Windows Communication Foundation is also availiable in MSDN.
Regarding books, the top rated book on this subject matter can be found here - Programming WCF Services

A: For MSMQ solution, take a look at NServiceBus. It is very easy to set up and play around with. They have plenty of examples that you can download and run.
We have used it in a number of applications and it works great so far.
There are also some similar alternatives, such as MassTransit.

Q: Serialization of generic type information scala? I'm building a DSL in scala with a number of expressions and operators that I'd like to know about their own type. For example:
import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._

trait Expression[T] {
    def evaluate: T
    def evalType: scala.reflect.runtime.universe.Type  // represents T
}

I'd like to use the type information for a variety of purposes (e.g. printing the types of Expressions, filtering expression by their result type, and casting collections of Expression[_] to some type or another. I can do this (below), but can't seem to keep both the generic type information AND have the property that the type information is serializable.
I can make classes aware of their type parameter like so:
import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._

case class TypeAware[T:TypeTag](c:Type=null) {
  val typ:Type = if (c==null) typeOf[T] else c
}

class RelectionUtilTest {

  @Test
  def serializeTypeTest(): Unit = {
    val obj = TypeAware[Seq[Int]]()
    println(obj.typ) // Seq[Int]
    val copy = SerializationUtil.copyBySerialization(obj)  // via ObjectOutputStream -> ObjectInputStream
    println(copy.typ)
  }
}

... but the scala's Type field is not Serializable.
Or I can make the class aware of the Class[_] of T
case class ClassAware[T:TypeTag](c:Class[_]=null) {
  val clz:Class[_] = if (c==null) runtimeMirror(this.getClass.getClassLoader).runtimeClass(typeOf[T].typeSymbol.asClass) else c
}

class RelectionUtilTest {

  @Test
  def serializeTypeTest(): Unit = {
    val obj = ClassAware[Seq[Int]]()
    println(obj.typ) // Seq[_]
    val copy = SerializationUtil.copyBySerialization(obj)
    println(copy.typ)
  }
}

but a java Class[_] is type-erased :-(
So, how can I serialize the generic type information in scala?
UPDATE: Serializing Java's ParameterizedType seems like a solution, but I don't see how to convert java ParameterizedType <-> scala Type.

That the Senate— (1) Expresses great sympathy for the family, friends and patients of Dr. George Tiller; (2) Recognizes that acts of violence should never be used to prevent women from receiving reproductive health care; and (3) Condemns the use of violence as a means of resolving differences of opinion.
Seems pretty straight forward and clear and not very controversial. But the GOP's overall support toward the systematic and ongoing violence against women's health care clinics providers apparently now over rules murder.
This is a prime example showing what has happen within the GOP extreme rank and file. While the Republicans don't actually shoot the doctors, they make it more than clear that they won't condemn those who do. In fact, they actively support violent acts by their right wing media perspectives that lends credence to those that do commit these violent acts.
And since when did elected public officials get to make anonymous stands when they use their position as a public official? That's crap! As a public figure…do it in the light of day with your name on it…Let us all see which of our elected officials supports the murdering of doctors.
And lastly, if the best the Senate can do is a non-binding resolution…we should think about fixing our system…apparently its full of weak tea assholes.

Ketogenic diet or the keto diet has enormous health benefits. The diet is very misunderstood to be a "fat- feast". The keto diet is not an all you can eat fat diet. In recent years, the keto diet has been shown to be effective in healing diseases such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and some forms of heart disease. The keto diet improves blood glucose levels.
1. What is the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis?
2. Is a low carb diet safe for diabetics?
3. Is a keto diet good for Type 2 diabetics?
Diabetes is the inability of the pancreas to secrete enough insulin to supply the needs of the body. Sometimes the pancreas makes enough insulin, but the body does not use it the way it should. When this happens, excess glucose enters the bloodstream and it causes all sorts of havoc.
Type I diabetes– In this type of diabetes, the body does not make any insulin. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood.
Type 2 diabetes'- In the majority of times, Type 2 diabetes is a result of lifestyle.
Gestational diabetes– This type of diabetes occurs during pregnancy. Often times, with weight loss and good nutrition it will go away. Sometimes, gestational diabetes does not go away.
My husband has always been athletic. He exercised regularly including aerobics, walking, and lifting weights. His symptoms started months earlier and the symptoms would vary. One of his main symptoms was fatigue. He attributed the fatigue ironically to not working out enough. He increased the workup and the fatigue got worse.
Then my husband started to get vision problems. Again, he chalked it up to "getting old". So he went to the Dollar Store and bought some reading glasses. He was already taking high blood pressure medication so he went to his doctor to inquire about changing the medications. The symptoms did not subside.
Then one day, he started to urinate every two hours. Now I have to tell you I am a nurse, and I am well versed in diabetes symptoms. The increased urination caught my eye. In nursing school, we were taught the three "P's" of diabetes: polyuria (increased urine), polyphagia (increased appetite), and polydipsia (increased thirst). Therefore, I put the signs and symptoms together and convinced him to go to the hospital.
When we got to the emergency room, my husband tried to convince me that he was fine. However, I knew this was not the case because of my experiences with diabetes patients. After a couple of hours, they took us back and drew blood and did X-rays.
When the doctor came into the room with the lab results, he told us my husband's glucose was 501 and HbA1C was 10. Well, I knew he was going to be admitted so I began making phone calls to his job, etc. The doctor came in and told my husband he would be admitted. My husband looked at the doctor and said," He was not staying in the hospital".
I thought I heard what my husband said, but I asked him to repeat it. He repeated he was not staying in the hospital. As a nurse, I was devastated. I have had patients to leave the hospital AMA (against medical advice), but I never imagined I would be dealing with this personally. He signed the AMA papers and on the way home, he told me about this diet he heard was helping people get rid of diabetes. He said I will do it "my way".
As a nurse, all I knew was that he was at risk for a coma, kidney failure, blindness, and other health problems. I did not sleep at all that night because I thought something would happen to him. While I was worrying, he was on the internet researching this "diet". He told me the diet was called the Keto or Ketogenic diet.
Let me tell you what my husband's diet used to consist of. He ate sugar every day. Six donuts at one time. He would eat bowls of Kellogg's frosted flakes. He would Snickers bars like they were going out of style.
We were told as Americans to eat low fat and increase the grains. Diabetes is at an all-time high in this country. Obesity is a pandemic. Children are developing Type 2 diabetes. He stated it was originally developed by Johns Hopkins Hospital to treat seizures in children. He told me he would start the diet in the morning.
My husband woke up the next morning and declared he was throwing out all "white food". This included sugar, flour, bread, milk, and potatoes. I went to the pharmacy and bought a glucose meter. His sugar was 450. For breakfast, he had 3 boiled eggs and Canadian Bacon. For lunch, he had a bed of greens, tomatoes, avocado, and baked chicken. For dinner, he had squash, spinach, and baked chicken. The next morning his glucose was 350. I thought hmmmm.
My husband ate like this for one month and exercised 3 times a week. On the 30th day, his glucose was reading 90. I was in shock because this went against everything I had learned about diabetes. I knew that with his original sugar of over 500, he "should" have been taking insulin.
All of his symptoms went away and when he went to the doctor, his HbA1C was 6.0%. This was truly a miracle and his doctor could not believe it. That was 4 years ago and his HbA1C is 5.9-6.
much as you wish. If it is a leaf, eat it.
• Avoid pickled food with added sugars.
• All fats and oils, butter, are allowed.
• Olive oil is recommended for cold dressings.
lemon juice and spices as needed.
grams of carbohydrate per serving or less.
This diet also works well for pre-diabetes. This diet works very well in Type 2 diabetes.
Ketosis and ketoacidosis are not the same things. Ketones are produced in the liver. Ketones are responsible for shifting the body's metabolism from glucose to using fat. Ketoacidosis is a state where the body is in an acidic state, and it is an emergency. Ketoacidosis occurs in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics.
Absolutely a low carb diet is safe for diabetics. In fact, there have been a plethora of people who have reduced their insulin requirements, reduced their oral agents, or came off of diabetic medicine completely. While on the keto diet, you must take your blood sugar every day to make sure it is not dropping too much.
The majority of the research on the keto diet has been done on Type 2 diabetics. However, Type 1 diabetics have been on the keto diet with success.
