For a second year, nine baseball fanatics have been chosen to enter NY's Major League Baseball fan cave, located in East Village. The participants, who will write, blog, tweet and sometimes meet with big league ball players, will watch every game this baseball season.
Of the original 22,000 entrants, these nine were chosen based on their video essays to attend spring training in AZ, and the support garnered by their blogs, tweets and videos.
According to the Daily News, the cave is located at the space of what used to be the Tower Records on Broadway and will feature pool tables and a bar/lounge. The contestants, who will be eliminated until only one remains, will live in rent-free apartments, earn a stipend of up to $50,000 and have their meals catered.


SciWise delivers tools and support to enable improved science engagement practices and enhanced insights about the needs and interests of public audiences.
SciWise research initiative aims to improve science engagement practices through stakeholder participation, support education and build understanding of how attitudes and actions development for public audiences who visit science organisations and events, such as science centers, festivals and museums.
Furthermore, this initiative brings together science researchers and practitioners towards common goals in an improvement-oriented network. With the goal of collective improvement, this initiative enables self–monitoring, collaboration and sharing of 'good' practices.
Finally, this mission is achieved through use of the most innovative and up-to-date social science research methods and technologies that enable impact evaluation and facilitate the investigative capacities required to carry out this mission.
Improve community with good information.
The SciWise initiative brings science engagement organizations together in a network of like-minded insitutions committed to an evidence-based approach.
The SciWise project aims to bring institutions together towards common goals in an improvement-oriented network. The goal of collective improvement is enabled in this project through self–monitoring, collaboration and sharing good practice among science center, festival and museum research practitioners.
SciWise uses established social science research and evaluation methods to facilitate the research capabilities required for this global mission.
The SciWise research project extends survey designs and methods from other recent global research projects. Information collected in this project supports better understanding of key areas for visitor research.
SciWise connects to the community of practice, ensuring audience insights are useful, shareable, and effectively measure visitor experiences and learning impacts (e.g. Dawson & Jensen 2011).
Participating science institutions are empowered by strong evidence delivered efficiently through automated impact evaluation, with real-time and ongoing insights into visitor experience and outcome, meaningful comparisons and sector benchmarks.
Participation in the SciWise research initiative includes tools and know-how to enable your organisation or event to gain new insights.
The SciWise project team ensures fit between audience research and evaluation methods and your institution's unique requirements. Design for up to 25 questions with response options (more can be included but we would advise caution in exceeding this number for the sake of respondents' satisfaction with the evaluation experience). Research questions will be confirmed through consultation with your institution.
Preparation of a staff or visitor-facing method to collect email addresses used to enroll visitors into the evaluation. This will include at least one demographic/visitor type variable (e.g. visit type: Family, individual, couple, other) and one impact-related variable. The online survey is built and provided to your institution with embed code which allows the survey to be integrated with the your institution's web page and/or booking systems (optional add-on). This part of the survey system delivery process is guided by the SciWise technical team.
Visitors are sent automated invitations at the close of business on the visit day. The invitations ask visitors to complete the online survey "housed" on your institution's website.
The system provides a flexible platform for evaluation and a basic level of analysis. Your institution stakeholders will be provided access to the Dashboard with pre-configured graphs that will generate automatically and in real-time when surveys are completed, with benchmarking against other institutions on an aggregate level where applicable. The statistical analysis of data can be modified upon request, as well as implementing more advanced statistics when required for reporting. Your institution will also have access to publications from the overall SciWise project.
Data are collected and stored on a server with automatic back-up. Data are always available for download and owned by your institution.
SciWise supports impact evaluation through high quality survey designs and methods used in global research and evaluation projects with world-leading science engagement institutions.
This initiative addresses common constraints on conducting robust, quality and effective visitor research and impact evaluation (e.g. Jensen 2014).
The SciWise research initiative draws on survey designs and methods from recent global research projects. Information collected in this project supports better understanding of key science engagement outcomes.
A cornerstone of the SciWise initiative is that participating organizations can benchmark with expert-designed questions, survey methods and real-time analytics.
The cornerstone of SciWise research is its benchmarking objectives and capabilities, made possible through expert-designed questions, survey methodology and technology. Benchmarking provides points of comparison with other participating institutions in Key Benchmarking Areas to enable shared knowledge in pursuit of good practice.
Benchmarking in this initiative gives participating institutions real-time insights about how audience experience and educational impacts change internally over time and in comparison to other institutions nationally and globally in key benchmarking areas.
These key benchmarking areas have been developed in part based on international guidelines published by science associations and national regulations. Questions are organized by visit-related categories and the initiative's key benchmarking areas.
Understanding your organization's audience profile is important for targeting audience development initiatives as well as contextualizing survey responses. Automated analytics show whether there are systematic demographic patterns in terms of participation or outcomes.
An essential concern for any science engagement organization or event is the quality the visitor experience. From the food and facilities to talks and interactions with staff or volunteers, monitoring the visitor experience in real-time allows practitioners to intervene as soon as a problem emerges.
Increasing public engagement of science is a major content theme highlighted in science engagement institutions' policies and guidelines. SciWise enables participating organizations to see their impact on science awareness and attitudes with real-time results benchmarked by institution type, national and global averages.
This initiative enables comparative impact evaluation at a regional, national and global level. This is accomplished using innovative research technology, standardized systems for comparative benchmarking and a focus on audience experiences and educational impacts.
Comparisons are based on standardized measurement tools to understand audience profiles, experiences and outcomes relating to science engagement. This initiative uses benchmarking to aid in discovery and distribution of best practices.
Benchmarking in this initiative is made possible with very recent innovations in data aggregation technology developed by the research technology company Qualia Analytics open_in_new, which is delivering the automated data collection and real-time analysis services underpinning the SciWise project.
The digital survey platform used in the SciwWise initiative enables automated research processes and long-term impact evaluation.
What is the tool used for the project?
The survey system used in this project has been built to enable best practice for research and impact evaluation. Therefore, participation in this project includes impact evaluation as a standard feature, allowing pre-visit and post-visit data collection at a minimum. As well, long-term follow-up surveys are possible with additional consideration that, for example, are sent to visitors three, six, or nine months after their initial visit. The system is fully user-friendly and accessible to institutional users with no previous research expertise.
Learn more about SciWise's automated evaluation system and options available for data collection.
Once you join SciWise, you get full access to the Question Bank. But what is it and how does it work?
For the first time, science institutions can have ongoing, long-term and integrated evaluation of audience profile, visitor experience, membership retention patterns and educational impacts, with real-time comparisons to sector benchmarks.The mission and objectives are enabled with innovative technology that automates the process of data collection, aggregation and processing, sector-level analysis, and evaluation reporting. Audience data are analyzed automatically within a project dashboard that provides each institution with benchmark scores for its comparison groups.
To enable science institution stakeholders to target improvements, information provided by visitors will automatically be presented to institutional stakeholders in a dashboard.
Graphs summarize visitors' survey responses, underpinned by statistical analysis. Graphs and related analyses are customizable.
Results are shown in the institution's dashboard in real-time, as survey responses are submitted.
Comparison groups will be automatically set by nation and organization type. Other benchmark groupings can be set up by request.
Data is owned by the institution and always downloadable.
Participating institutions will gain a more accurate insight into visitor experience through automated impact evaluation with built-in benchmarking.

SciWise impact evaluation and benchmarking capabilities, which is made possible through expert-designed questions and survey methods.
The cornerstone of SciWise research is its benchmarking capabilities, which is made possible through expert-designed questions and survey methodology. The Question Bank used for this project is available to participating science organisations at sign up.
Support is provided for developing the methods and survey design to best meet your institution's research and evaluation needs. Project advisors help to provide practical expertise and the SciWise delivery team implements the survey and technical systems.
Your institution's stakeholders should collaborate on the survey design and provide measurement objectives to help guide data collection in areas of interest.
Impact regarding science attitudes and actions post-visit.
Survey elements focusing on marketing and service elements (e.g. food and facilities) would be included in this survey design to the extent it is relevant to potential educational impacts.
The audience intelligence generated can be used to inform internal improvement efforts at your institution and help support claims of educational impact in response to public request for evidence of impact and relevance to science education. It may also provide a means to demonstrate particular standards in relation to national science associations or licensing agreements.
All data, analytics and reporting are accessible at all times through an integrated dashboard provided to your organisation's stakeholders. Where applicable, elements are also benchmarked against other institutions participating in the SciWise Project on an aggregate level. The following methods are standardized, but can be adjusted based on specific request.
Option 1 Visitors are invited to participate upon entering the facilities, either at a ticket desk or just past the entry gate.
Option 2 Systematic sampling should be used. Examples include selecting every other visiting group or every 5th visitor.
Option 3 Data can be entered by either visitor or staff, using an iPad or Android tablet to register data. A wide range of low cost devices can be used.
Option 1 An integration ("hook point") can be set up between the enrolment survey and your institution's booking system to gather visitor Name and Email.
Option 2 Other information can be gathered at your institution's discretion (e.g. ticket type or purchase amount).
Option 3 This add-on can run parallel to other collection methods, such as face-to-face (may incur an additional setup).
Your visitors can access the main survey after their visit to your institution. Invitation e-mails for the main survey are batched at the end of the day (EoD) and sent by the survey system automatically to visitors' e-mail accounts, inviting them to participate. Visitors can use their preferred electronic devices, such as personal computer, tablet or smartphone.
We enable longitudinal impact evaluation with the survey system, whereby a third and final survey invitation is sent to visitors up to 9 months after their visit (this timeframe should be discussed).
This survey asks visitors to answer parallel impact questions and, in accordance with your evaluation requirements, focuses on the de-facto impact regarding pro-conservation actions that visitors have taken after their visit (e.g., visiting other zoos, joining wildlife protection organisations, or reading up on conservation issues).
The timeline for this work is estimated based on feedback and consultation through five stages of design, setup, and delivery.

Q: Doubling array size of T items I'm creating my own vector class(for an assignment) here:
private:
T *items;
int used;

Vector() {
    used = 0;
    items = new T[1000];
};

When I construct the vector and use:
std::cout<<sizeof(items)/sizeof(T);

It returns 1 always, no matter what size I make items in the constructor(I've tried 1000,4,1,0,-1) it always cout's 1. I also try to double the array when it reaches 1000, then 2000 then 4000 etc.
        if(used == sizeof(items)/sizeof(items[0])) {
        T *tempItems = new T [used];
        memcpy(items, tempItems, sizeof(items));
        delete []items;
        T* items = new T[used*2];

        memcpy(tempItems, items, sizeof(items));

        delete []tempItems;
        }

It throws an invalid read when I try to print out items's contents. This may be due to the previous problem. I cannot go back to using vector's, that's the point of the assignment.

Stabla u Blenderu

Najbolji način za objašnjavanje rekurzije je objašnjavanje rekurzije na najbolji način. Pokušaću na zanimljiv način da objasnim rekurziju pomoću Python programskog jezika i Blendera, alata za 3D animaciju i vizualizaciju.

Matematički deo

Koristimo Blender za vizualizaciju 3D objekata. Jedan od tih objekata je cilindar. On će predstavljati stablo drveta i njegove grane.

Blender API nam dozvoljava da postavimo osnovne oblike ali samo na najosnovniji način. Ne možemo, na primer, da postavimo cilindar od tačke \(p_1\) do tačke \(p_2\). Zbog toga moramo da napišemo Python funkciju koja će ovo da odradi.

Pronalaženje centra dve tačke je poprilično lako. Ako je \(p_i = (x_i, y_i, z_i)\) onda je tačka \(m\) između \(p_1\) i \(p_2\) definisana preko sledeće formule:

\(m = \frac{p_1+p_2}{2}\\= p_1 + \frac{p_2-p_1}{2}\\= p_1 + \frac{\Delta x+\Delta y + \Delta z}{2}\)

Takođe možemo izračunati dužinu cilindra: \(d = \sqrt{\Delta x^2 + \Delta y^2 + \Delta z^2}\)

Uglovi su malo teži za izračunavanje. Možemo olakšati računanje i mapirati trougao koji je u 3D prostoru u dva trougla u 2D prostoru. Ugao \(\alpha\) se može izračunati preko \(\Delta x\) i \(\Delta y\) dok se ugao \(\beta\) može izračunati preko dužine \(d\) i \(\Delta z\).

\(\alpha = \arctan (\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x})\)

\(\beta = \arccos (\frac{\Delta z}{d})\)

I na kraju, pomoću malo matematike, pišemo funkciju koja će se koristiti u Blenderu.

def cylinder_between(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, r):
    dx = x2 - x1
    dy = y2 - y1
    dz = z2 - z1
    dist = np.sqrt(dz**2. + dy**2. + dz**2.)
    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive.cylinder_add(
        radius = r,
        depth = dist,
        location = (dx/2. + x1, dy/2. + y1, dz/2. + z1)
    )
    alpha = np.arctan2(dy, dx)
    beta = np.arccos(dz/dist)
    bpy.context.object.rotation_euler[1] = beta
    bpy.context.object.rotation_euler[2] = alpha

Kreiranje stabla

Da bi kreirali stablo moramo da proširimo funkciju sa skriptom. Skripta mora da krene od baze i da se rekurzivno grana ka vrhu. Grane će se deliti na nasumičnim mestima na dva dela.

from __future__ import division
import numpy as np
import bpy

def delete_all():
    bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='SELECT')
    bpy.ops.object.delete(use_global=True)

delete_all()

def cylinder_between(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, r):
    dx = x2 - x1
    dy = y2 - y1
    dz = z2 - z1
    dist = np.sqrt(dz**2. + dy**2. + dz**2.)
    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive.cylinder_add(
        radius = r,
        depth = dist,
        location = (dx/2. + x1, dy/2. + y1, dz/2. + z1)
    )
    alpha = np.arctan2(dy, dx)
    beta = np.arccos(dz/dist)
    bpy.context.object.rotation_euler[1] = beta
    bpy.context.object.rotation_euler[2] = alpha

def branch(origin, depth = 1, prob = 0.5):
    if depth > 8:
        return 0;
    x,y,z = origin
    x_new = x + np.random.normal(0, 2, 1)
    y_new = y + np.random.normal(0, 2, 1)
    z_new = z + np.random.uniform(0, 20/np.sqrt(depth), 1)
    cylinder_between(x,y,z,x_new, y_new, z_new, r = 1.5/np.sqrt(depth))
    if np.random.random() < 0.5:
        branch((x_new, y_new, z_new), depth = depth + 1)
    branch((x_new, y_new, z_new), depth = depth + 1)

branch((0,0,0))

Mark Wahlberg in Chicago to encourage youth to embrace their faith
Actor Mark Wahlberg was in Chicago Friday and ready to talk, not about a new movie but religion.
He was a special guest of Cardinal Blase Cupich for a young adult faith night, called (re)Encounter, held at the UIC pavilion.
"The Archdiocese is embarking on a real strong effort to tap into the energy and the enthusiasm of young people to invigorate and enliven our church," said Cardinal Cupich.
The event was hosted by Cardinal Cupich and included live music, prayerful worship and presentations from faith leaders, including the Cardinal and special guest Wahlberg - who said his troubled past to stardom helps him connect to everyone.
The movie star is a vocal and devout Catholic and hopes to encourage younger generations to embrace their faith too.
"It's one thing to kind of start programs and give grants and money, that sort of thing it's another to actually be there, be able to talk to them and know that there is somebody who's been through what they are going through," said Wahlberg.

Jack Hayford, pastor and writer of worship song 'Majesty,' dies at age 88
CP Church & Ministries | Monday, January 09, 2023
Jack Hayford receiving the Hall of Fame award at NRB 2014 in Nashville, Tennessee, on Feb. 25, 2014. | The Christian Post/Scott Liu
Jack W. Hayford, a prominent pastor, author, seminary chancellor and the man who wrote the popular contemporary Christian worship song "Majesty," has died at the age of 88.
Jack Hayford Ministries posted an announcement on its Facebook page confirming that he died on Sunday evening at his home in Los Angeles, California.
"His family said he died peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of the morning, having eaten dinner with his wife, Valarie, and having spoken to one of his grandkids the evening before," stated the ministry.
"Today, we mourn his loss but celebrate the homecoming of a great leader in God's kingdom. We know that this great servant and worshipper is now experiencing the greatest worship service of all."
Responding to Hayford's passing, the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, pastor and president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, shared the late pastor's impact on his life.
"I had the privilege of calling him a friend. He spoke into my life, always encouraging me to make room for the Holy Spirit," Rodriguez wrote on Facebook. "Pastor Jack did change the world. He demonstrated that the Spirit Empowered/Charismatic movement can be both prophetic and practical, innovative, and intelligent, anointed and artistic."
Born in 1934 in Los Angeles, California, Hayford survived a bout with polio when he was a child and viewed his healing as a sign that he was meant to become a pastor.
Hayford helped found The King's University and Seminary in 1997, serving as its chancellor. He also served as the founding pastor of The Church On The Way in Van Nuys, California, for decades, and was the president of The Foursquare Church from 2004 to 2009.
Hayford wrote several books and hundreds of songs, the most notable of which was the song "Majesty," which was released in 1978 and has been recorded and performed numerous times.
In an entry on his ministry website, Hayford explained that the inspiration for "Majesty" came when he and his first wife, Anna, were visiting the United Kingdom in 1977.
"While visiting many of the castles of the land, I began to sense the influence one might feel if raised as a child in such regal settings," Hayford recounted, adding that "the sense of regal destiny pervades many of those sites and influences many of those people."
"So powerfully did the sense of Christ Jesus' royalty, dignity, and majesty fill my heart; I seemed to feel something new of what it meant to be His! The accomplished triumph of His Cross has not only unlocked us from the chains of our own bondage and restored us to fellowship with the Father, but He has also unfolded to us a life of authority over sin and hell and raised us to partnership with Him in His Throne — now!"
At the National Religious Broadcasters' 2014 Convention, Hayford was inducted into the Evangelical media organization's Hall of Fame for his televangelism career.
"I think the challenge that we face is remembering that we are called to love one another, but also to serve the world with the Gospel," said Hayford in his acceptance speech.
In 2017, Hayford's wife of more than 60 years, Anna, who had helped to lead The Church of the Way, died of stage four pancreatic cancer at the age of 83. Hayford later remarried.
Hayford leaves behind his second wife, Valerie, four children, 11 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.

Building a Victoria without poverty: Help the community sector to prepare and plan for emergencies
The state government can increase vulnerable people's ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from disaster and emergency events by supporting emergency planning in the community sector that builds disaster preparedness and resilience, both within community organisations, and in the broader community.
Experience and research tells us that disasters are profoundly discriminatory in where they strike, and the way they affect people. For people who are already facing disadvantage, they can be overwhelming.
It is estimated that around half of all community sector organisations would be out of operation for a week if in the event of an emergency they sustained serious damage to their premises. Up to 25 per cent might never provide services again.[1] This indicates a significant risk for those who rely on the services community organisations provide on a day to day basis as well as during and after an emergency.
Emergencies present significant challenges to the health and human services sector generally, and community service organisations in particular. The following organisational impacts have been documented by VCOSS in the last few years alone:
Dislocation and relocation
Impacts to business continuity
Impacts to continuity of care
Disruption to supply chains
Difficulties in maintaining the normal mechanisms of an agency
Surges in demand leading to workforce loss
Occupation Health and Safety liabilities
Short-term contracting of services impacting job security as well as continuity of support for communities
Difficulties in recruiting temporary staff to backfill positions, on top of the demands of responding to the emergency and resourcing recovery work
Lack of capacity to maintain long term support to communities
Progression from relief to recovery work with no respite
Disruption to day-to-day activities, as well as service delivery
Clean-up or repair issues
Transport issues
Staff health, mental and physical
The need for additional support, money and personnel with uncertain funding
The risk of governance issues as disaster arrangements are put urgently into place
Demand for support growing, not reduce, over the longer term
Collaboration and/or competition with other service providers
Putting everyday work on hold, at the expense of other vulnerable people
Emergencies add a further layer of complexity to the work of community organisations when demand for services has them working at capacity and above all the time.
A fundamental challenge for community sector organisations is the capacity to meet the demand for services, while at the same time managing funding and resourcing constraints. Around 80 per cent of Victorian frontline agencies are unable to meet current levels of demand with the resources they have,[2] and this limits their capacity to meet their day to day demands, let alone undertake emergency planning,
The community sector is becoming increasingly recognised for its role in disaster resilience planning, provision of response and relief services, and importantly long term recovery support. A 2013 Australian Senate committee report into recent trends in and preparedness for extreme weather events made the following recommendations:
The committee commends CSOs (community sector organisations) for their significant contribution during and after extreme weather events. It is the committee's view that the important role of CSOs in assisting communities and individuals during times of natural disaster should be recognised and supported. The committee urges authorities to give due regard to CSOs in both planning responses to and responding to extreme weather events, in particular those organisations that provide vital services to vulnerable groups.[3]
The VCOSS State Budget Submission calls on the state government to reverse funding cuts to support services and work closer with the community sector to develop comprehensive emergency plans. Supporting emergency planning for the community sector will build disaster preparedness and resilience, both for the sector, and for the broader community.

The Federal Polytechnic, Bida in Niger says arrangements have been concluded to introduce degree programmes in the institution.
Mohammed Yahaya, chairman of the governing board, made this known when he led members of the board on a visit to Yahaya Abubakar, the Etsu Nupe, on Saturday.
The board chairman said all the relevant agencies of government had approved the undergraduate programmes.
Yahaya, who described the polytechnic as one of the best in the country, said the new board had resolved to take it to greater heights.
He thanked the host community for the cordial relationship it had established with the institution since its inception.
The polytechnic began in 1977 following the decision of the federal government to move the Federal College of Technology, Kano, to Bida with J. W. Brooks, a Canadian, appointed on September 5, 1977, as the first principal.
The Bida College of Technology as it was called then began the first academic session in April 1978 with 211 students and a staff strength of 11 senior and 33 junior staff members.


Planning a New Year's Eve party with activities for an elderly loved one can be a great deal of fun. Mesa Alzheimer's care professionals recommend a few activities that are appropriate for seniors living with Alzheimer's disease. Consider ushering in the New Year with these fun activities.
People from different countries traditionally eat certain foods on New Year's Eve. In Spain, it is traditional to eat 12 grapes at midnight, in Denmark, stewed kale is consumed, and in Brazil, people eat lentils. You can pick several foods traditionally eaten in different parts of the world and serve your loved one a unique multicultural meal. Alternatively you can find out your loved one's favorite country and create a feast from there.
Take a stroll back in time to your loved one's favorite decade. If your loved one cannot tell you his or her favorite decade, make an educated guess. Let him or her help you create decorations from the decade while listening to songs that were popular back then.
Ask each person at the party, including your elderly loved one, to think of three resolutions. Two of them should be things they hope to accomplish during the next year and one should be a lie. Ask each person to share the three resolutions, then everyone else tries to guess the lie.
Ask your loved one and your other guests to think of an important event in the last year, then draw a picture of the event on a piece of paper or find some other way to represent it. Each person should share why it was important and put the paper into an empty shoebox. Continue until everyone at the party has made an entry.
Even though some older adults have restricted mobility, they still enjoy listening to music from times gone by. Clear a space and have a party while listening to tunes from your loved one's younger days.
If your elderly loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and you would like to learn more about the condition, reach out to Mesa Home Care Assistance. If you need support to take care of your loved one, consider hiring professional in–home care Mesa families can rely on. We provide both live-in and respite care, and our staff is also trained in the Cognitive Therapeutics Method, an activities-based program designed to delay cognitive decline. Call (480) 699-4899 to speak with a Care Manager about flexible options for in-home care and schedule a no-obligation consultation.

World premiere of Gregson's Oboe Concert
The world premiere of Edward Gregson's new work, 'A Vision in a Dream – Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra', a BBC commission, is to take place on Saturday 8 February 2020 in Leeds Town Hall and marks the composer's 75th birthday later in the year. It will be performed the BBC Philharmonic with Principal Oboe, Jennifer Galloway as soloist, and conducted by Principal Guest Conductor Ben Gernon.
The title of the work comes from Coleridge's poem 'Kubla Khan' on which the Concerto is based – a highly dramatic piece with important subsidiary roles for Solo Percussion and Cor Anglais, in addition to the orchestra's important part in the work.

Three Water Quality Professionals Receive Top Award
Donald Gray, John Hake and Sambhunath Ghosh received the prestigious Eddy Wastewater Principles or Processes Medal from the Water Environment Federation (WEF).
Gray, Hake and Ghosh are being recognized for their article, "Influence of Staging, Mean Cell Residence Time, and Thermophilic Temperature on the Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion Process," which was published in the May 2006 issue of Water Environment Research. It introduces methods, analysis and models used for selecting a particular thermophilic digestion process. The methods and tools the authors describe are expected to spur additional research and improvements for achieve Class A biosolids. The authors also developed an empirical model to help predict the best performing thermophilic temperature and mean cell residence time.
The Eddy Medal honors Harrison Prescott Eddy, a prominent engineer and a pioneer in the wastewater treatment field. The medal is awarded for research that makes a vital contribution to the existing knowledge of the fundamental principles or processes of wastewater treatment, as comprehensively described and published in a WEF periodical.
"This award not only recognizes the excellence and contribution of noted individuals but of a whole community of public health and environmental professionals," said Bill Bertera, WEF executive director.

"Amazon's Optimus Prime Day – The Biggest & Baddest Prime Day Yet"
So there we were, in our Reprise Amazon Prime Day War Room, working and watching Transformers during the final hours of what was sure to be an epic Prime Day. The statistics were rolling in, and our team was analyzing dozens of our own Reprise clients' Amazon accounts and articles across the web. The more we analyzed, the more we realized how truly remarkable Amazon's Prime Day has become.
The 4th edition of the self-made shopping extravaganza probably shouldn't be called Prime Day. No, an event of this magnitude should be called something much grander. Perhaps Optimus Prime Day? After all, Jeff Bezos and his team of 566,000+ Amazon Autobots have a heck of a lot to be proud of today. There are some staggering figures that came out of Prime Day this year, all of them supporting just how successful the day was.
$3.5B in sales. Yes, you read that correctly. According to Reprise proprietary data, and validated by RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney via Reuters, Amazon Prime Day amassed an estimated $3.5B in 36 hours, driven by over 100M products sold! That makes Prime Day one of the most successful ecommerce sales days in history. But its haul doesn't stop there. We've uncovered some additional noteworthy, and fortune making statistics.
Reprise estimates that Amazon added an additional 1,000,000 new Prime members during Prime Day. At $119 a pop, that's another $120M added to its coffers.
The average Prime Member buys ~$1300/year worth of goods from Amazon. More than double what non-Prime Members buy, representing an incremental $1.3B in revenue from new Prime Members in the next 12 months. Welcome to the club, folks!
Third Party Sellers also got involved with Amazon this Prime Day. Reprise estimates that there were ~30,000 Lightning Deals, about a 50% increase YoY. Amazon also increased its Lightning Deal fees from $500 to $750 for Prime Day, representing an additional $23.5M in one day revenue.
For 4 straight years, Prime Day sales were greater than industry predictions. Do not be the Vendor or Seller that runs out of inventory before the end of Prime Day. Stock those shelves.
Your product view-ability is critical. With conversion rates and ROAS oh-so-high on Prime Day, make sure your ASIN's Click Through Rates are maintained or increased to drive max sales.
Don't rely purely on Sponsored Products, Headline Search Ads, and Product Display Ads. Leverage The Amazon Advertising Platform to increase awareness/consideration of your product in the days/weeks leading up to Prime Day, and convert those non-converters once Prime Day has past.
At the end of the day, there is no wonder as to why Amazon launched Prime Day. The event is likely to add 1,000,000+ Members to their platform. These new Members will spend more time across Amazon properties, watch more Amazon TV shows, listen to more music, buy more Amazon devices, talk about Amazon more with their family and friends, and will ultimately spend an additional $5B over the next 12 months. We've helped our dozens of Amazon clients make the most of this Optimus Prime Day, and boy are they happy today. What an event.

London property market resilient as Cogress helps underwrite £4.1m of equity for a mixed-use property in Surbiton
By Bridging Loan Directory - 16th March 2018
High demand from property investors for greater London property has seen Cogress secure £4.1m of equity to fund a new mixed-use property development in Surbiton, Kingston upon Thames.
This latest project consists of a 50,372 sq-ft site, boasting 49 residential units and one commercial unit pre-let to The Co-op on a 15-year lease. The residential units comprise of: 39 private units, ranging from one bed flats and two bed maisonettes to three and four bed houses; and ten affordable units, comprised of one, two and three bedrooms.
The Surbiton project is set to be highly desired by buyers given the area's affordability, plenitude of independent shops and cafés, excellent schools and close proximity to Central London. With a targeted exit date of February 2020, the development is expected to sell for £32.9m.
With its pioneering proposition that offers access to multi-million-pound property investment opportunities usually reserved for large investors, Cogress enables its network of more than 6,000 qualified investors to become involved in the project with a minimum investment of £20,000.
Tal Orly, Founder & CEO of Cogress UK, said:
"We endeavour to consistently broaden our portfolio and bring our network of qualified investors the best possible investment opportunities across all of greater London. Whilst the capital's prime central market struggles with uncertainty, we are striving to fulfil investor demand for more diverse development opportunities, like this new property in Surbiton."

Actor, Singer, Activist - Showboat, The Emperor Jones
Singer/Musician
Paul Leroy Robeson was an American singer and actor who became involved with the Civil Rights Movement. At Rutgers University, he was an outstanding football player, then had an international career in singing, as well as acting in theater and movies. He became politically involved in response to the Spanish Civil War, fascism, and social injustices. His advocacy of anti-imperialism, affiliation with communism, and criticism of the United States government caused him to be blacklisted during the McCarthy era. Ill health forced him into retirement from his career. He remained until his death an advocate of the political stances he took. Robeson won an academic scholarship to Rutgers University, where he became a football All-American and the class valedictorian. He received his LL.B. from Columbia Law School, while playing in the National Football League. At Columbia, he sang and acted in off-campus productions; and, after graduating, he became a participant in the Harlem Renaissance with performances in The Emperor Jones and All God's Chillun Got Wings.

The testing is currently happening in Bolivia, Slovakia, Serbia, Cambodia, Guatemala, and Sri Lanks. It consists of a split News Feed, one for family, friends, and people users follow, and the other from pages users follow such as media, public figures, or organizations.
"People tell us they want an easier way to see posts from friends and family. We are testing having one dedicated space for people to keep up with their friends and family, and another separate space, called Explore, with posts from pages," explained Mosseri in the blog post.
However, users in the testing ground see it from a different perspective. Just a couple days after the initial testing, Slovakian journalist Filip Struhárik reported that major media companies in Slovakia had seen a drop in their interaction rates and webpage visits, thanks to the split.
"Pages are seeing dramatic drops in organic reach. Reach of several asked Facebook pages fell on Thursday and Friday by two-thirds compared to previous days. Sixty biggest Slovak media pages have 4 times fewer interactions (likes, comments, shares) since the test," wrote Struhárik in a Medium post.
In Bolivia, another testing ground, digital marketers were worried about the long-term impact of the News Feed split.
"It's all a test that eventually will end, soon, we hope. In any case, if you create good, engaging, intelligent and shareable content, no matter how many changes or rules they drop, your strategy will endure. Even do, we think this is a strategy of some sort from Facebook to make you pay for ads to appear in both feeds," José Torrez, a digital marketing strategist, told the Bolivian newspaper, Los Tiempos.
Facebook made it clear that this is only a test, and the company has no further plans to roll out the new type of News Feed widely. Also, Mosseri emphasized that the company doesn't have plans to monetize the Explore tab. "There is no current plan to roll this out beyond these test countries or to charge pages on Facebook to pay for all their distribution in News Feed or Explore. Unfortunately, some have mistakenly made that interpretation — but that was not our intention," he wrote in the blog post to communicate the experiment.
Facebook's Explore tab was tested recently with some users in Mexico and Argentina, but as a new section to "more easily explore" content that may interest users based on the pages they follow or like.

In 1974, Congress enacted the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to guarantee students access to their educational records and to prohibit dissemination of educational records without the student's consent.
Illinois has established guidelines for implementation of this law, which are contained in Section X-6 of the Campus Administrative Manual and Part 6 of the Student Code and the University FERPA and Compliance Page.
Congress recently enacted an amendment to FERPA that enables an educational institution to disclose details of disciplinary action against a student for conduct that poses a significant risk to the safety of others in the school community.


AL HANSELL didn't think he would make it to his 70th birthday.
Mr Hansell has been battling prostate cancer for 10 years, his health deteriorating over the past few years.
He struggles to walk and is mostly confined to his house.
"We don't know how much time he has got left," his daughter Tracey Hansell said.
"We are just taking each day as it comes."
But that didn't stop his family from throwing a big surprise party for his birthday.
On Anzac Day, a number of family members came from interstate to attend the party.
"My partner and I came from Sydney and his sister came from Sydney, too," Tracey said.
"When we showed up he was overwhelmed and he cried."
Tracey and her mum decorated their home in blue and yellow, the team colours of Mr Hansell's favourite rugby league team, the Eels.
They invited all of Mr Hansell's friends over for the celebration.
"We thought we would get a few friends over who do things for him and take him up to the hospital if mum can't do it," Tracey said.
"Dad thoroughly enjoyed the night sharing in stories from the past and having a good yarn with his friends."
Mr Hansell and his wife Denise celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in September 2014.
His family were happy they had the chance to share another milestone with him.
"We are amazed he has got this far," Tracey said.
"A lot of the family were up in Gladstone at Christmas and he seemed to think it might be his last Christmas.
"To have dad there (on his birthday) was pretty special not just for him but for all of us.
"We are really grateful he is here."
Mr Hansell has two daughters, four grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
He loves fishing, spending time at his holiday home in Southend as much as possible.


Interannual to decadal variations in Middle Eastern temperature, precipitationand streamflow reflect the far-field influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a dominant mode of Atlantic sector climate variability. Using a new sea surface temperature (SST) based index of the NAO and availablestreamflow data from five Middle Eastern rivers, we show that the first principal component of December through March streamflow variability reflects changes in the NAO. However, Middle East rivers have two primary flooding periods.The first is rainfall-driven runoff from December through March, regulated on interannual to decadal timescales by the NAO as reflected in local precipitation and temperature.The second period, from April through June, reflects spring snowmelt and contributes in excess of 50% of annual runoff.This period, known locally as the khamsin, displays no significantNAO connections and a less direct relationship with local climatic factors, suggesting that streamflow variability during this period reflects land-cover change, possibly related to agriculture and hydropower generation, and snowmelt.

Montana child care providers to receive $18 million in federal grants
Gov. Greg Gianforte's office announced 31 recipients in 19 counties Wednesday.
by Mara Silvers 08.17.2022 08.22.2022

The state of Montana has approved $18 million in grants from federal funds for 31 child care providers, health care organizations, community groups and local governments in an effort to expand child care services, Gov. Greg Gianforte's office announced Wednesday.
The "innovation" grants range between $142,000 and $1 million. Applications were asked to demonstrate how they would use the funds to improve child care affordability, increase access, and provide high quality and sustainable services.
The governor's office cited Browning Public Schools as a group that plans to use its $207,000 grant for hiring and retaining more child care providers. It also said Family Promise of Gallatin Valley Inc. will use its nearly $990,000 grant to expand its child care center for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.
"For too long, Montana's working families faced a shortage of child care providers, putting them between a rock and a hard place," Gianforte said in a Wednesday press release. "To increase access to sustainable, quality child care and address this longstanding problem, we're investing in quality providers who operate in child care deserts throughout our state."
Tori Sproles, executive director of the advocacy group Child Care Connections, said the funds will go a long way to help their partners in Gallatin, Park, Lewis and Clark, and Jefferson counties provide better child care. She said the grants could be used to expand staffing outside of traditional work hours, or help an employer purchase a certain number of spots at child care centers for their workforce.
"The innovation grant was really meant to bring the community into the problem. How do we address child care issues collaboratively and innovatively," Sproles said. "It's going to make an impact."
The press release did not say when the department plans to distribute the funds to recipients. A spokesperson for the Department of Public Health and Human Services said the agency expects to finalize contracts with the grantees within 30 days. The grants cycle is scheduled to last until September 2024.
Child care providers have been under acute strain since the COVID-19 pandemic, in part because of increasing health and safety expenses, a persistent struggle to hire and retain qualified staff, and the strict staff-to-child ratios required to maintain licenses. Child care centers in rural areas can be few and far between. In more urban areas, providers like Family Promise of Gallatin Valley report long waitlists, with demand outpacing available slots.
The price tag for child care is also a high concern for many families across Montana, often putting the service out of reach for low-income and working families. A February report from the national advocacy group Child Care Aware found that the average cost of child care in Montana in 2020 — the first year of the pandemic, before inflation became a national concern — was more than $9,300 annually.
The full list of child care innovation grantees and their respective award amounts has been posted on the state health department's website. The counties that include grant recipients are Glacier, Gallatin, Missoula, Mineral, Ravalli, Lewis and Clark, Beaverhead, Carter, Flathead, Granite, Yellowstone, Jefferson, Carbon, Deer Lodge, Sweet Grass, Fergus, Judith Basin, Petroleum, and Cascade.
Gianforte's office said the recommendation to use the federal American Rescue Plan Act to create these child care providers came from the bipartisan ARPA Health Advisory Commission made up of lawmakers and executive staff members.
That committee also recommended grants to help stabilize child care services that recipients could use for staff pay, bonuses, recruitment, rent or mortgage, and other expenses related to COVID-19. The final application period for those grants closed last Friday.
Gianforte's office said Wednesday that two-thirds of the $61 million total earmarked for those stabilization grants has been allocated. A summary of ARPA spending from early August said roughly $30 million of child care stabilization grants and other supports had been paid out to recipients.
House Minority Leader Kim Abbott, D-Helena, said Wednesday the governor's announcement was good news for the 19 counties with successful applicants, but that she's been frustrated by how long it has taken the Gianforte administration to distribute the federal emergency funds.
"We approved this a year ago," Abbott said, referring to a vote taken by lawmakers who sit on the ARPA Health Advisory Commission. "When you have money that is designed for relief and you have people across the state that are begging for relief, you want to see that money move efficiently and effectively."
Charlie Brereton, the new director of Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services tapped to replace former director Adam Meier, said in the Wednesday press release that the innovation grants would help fill in gaps in child care deserts and increase the capacity of providers around Montana.
"We look forward to these numerous projects moving forward to meet existing needs," Brereton said. "We appreciate the careful thought and planning that went into the applications that we believe will make a tremendous difference in Montana."
Sproles acknowledged that a faster timeline for awarding grants would have been appreciated. In the end, she said she's glad to see the money on its way to communities in need.
"It's hard to be negative about it," Sproles said. "There's still a need. That need has not gone anywhere."

Now that fall is here, we can anticipate lots of long, lazy Netflix binges, but when was the last time you curled up with a good novel? Since its creation in the late 18th century, the novel has been a favorite of the fashion-forward, and despite major competition these days, it's still one of our favorite ways to unwind and get inspired—especially now that the latest Girl With the Dragon Tattoo sequel is out. Way back in the day, Jane Austen, Henry James and the old Gothic writers loved a good description of a dress or a hair style, as did F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ayn Rand, Tom Wolfe…we could go on and on. That's why every chic book shelf needs a few works of fiction. Here are our favorites, both old and new.
Continuing Stieg Larsson's series about punk princess Lisbeth Salander, this brand new mystery weaves Riccardo Tisci-esque fashion into a fast-paced caper about computer hacking and world saving. If you're a fan of Rooney Mara, Givenchy or both, you'll want to read this before it hits the big screen.
The actor and comedian proved a talent for a.) writing exceptional fiction and b.) understanding the minds of young women with this novella about a fragile twenty-something selling gloves at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. Expect lots of great '90s fashion, including slithery slip dresses, power suits and loads of minimalist black.
Our love affair with the '60s will never die thanks to Jacqueline Susann's soapy tome about three best friends trying to find their way in a world of New York and Hollywood excess. Think pill box hats, kitten heels, gauzy kaftans, cocktail rings the size of ice cubes, and major, major hair. If you're still mourning the end of Mad Men, you're going to love this book.
Although Scott Fitzgerald's wife is better remembered for her tumultuous marriage and struggle with schizophrenia, in her prime she was also an accomplished writer. Her only novel—a thinly-veiled autobiography—tells the story of a society darling who turns to ballet lessons when her marriage goes sour. Flowery descriptions of Jazz Age flappers and champagne-soaked Parisian nights make this a must-read for vintage lovers.


Many of us forget how much stuff we have lying around, countless drawers, boxes and storage bins, full of unused things. Three years ago I declared war on stuff. I pictured myself and my family living a simpler, leaner lifestyle. We've been at it ever since, filling up a large box of stuff nearly every month, then like clockwork scheduling a pick-up with Purple Heart. I keep one large box in the basement and another upstairs so there is never an excuse not to give something away. You might be thinking, a large box every month for three years, he must've been some sort of hoarder. Sadly no, most people who know me would tell you I'm organized. I guess I'd become pretty good at organizing all the stuff that a family of four accumulates living in the same house for 18 years. I was spending time researching, buying, organizing, cleaning, repairing, storing, and disposing of stuff. It was straight up batshit crazy.
We've made progress controlling our spending on stuff, but sometimes I feel like we're running in place. Stuff in, Stuff out. This spring it's time to jump start this process. To do this, I went back to the source, the Minimalists. I met Joshua and Ryan 3 years ago in Fargo, ND. They gave an inspired talk about Minimalism that's now become a movement and a movie coming out this spring. The most popular essay on their blog is the 30 Day Minimalism Game.
Find a friend or family member. Someone who's willing to get rid of some of their excess stuff. This month, each of you must get rid of one thing on the first day of the month. On the second, two things. Three items on the third. So forth, and so on. Anything can go! Clothes, furniture, electronics, tools, decorations, etc. Donate, sell, or trash. Whatever you do, each material possession must be out of your house—and out of your life—by midnight each day.
It's an easy game at first. However, it starts getting challenging by week two, when you're both jettisoning more than a dozen items each day. Whoever can keep it going the longest wins. You both win if you can make it all month. Bonus points if you play with more than two people.
To play the game, it's best to have someone to compete with or against. You can do this with friends, roommates, even online. SuperK and I are playing as a team with the reward being a steamed crab dinner out. We both have to meet the goal to win. If you do the math, you'll see that together we'll be giving away 992 things by the end of the contest. This should get interesting, as it did for this Canadian couple.
I created a list in Evernote focusing on one room at a time. My strategy is to stay one day ahead of the game, that way if I hit a wall later I can catch up. I hope to trash as little as possible and focus on things that can be given away. Do you have an ugly Hawaiian shirt with a giant coffee stain on it, don't feel bad about including it in the Goodwill box. Unusable, damaged, or severely ugly clothing gets recycled into rag stock, so everything gets used. Of course, I plan on photographing the stuff we're giving away and posting it somewhere.
I've attempted similar challenges in the past. Based on my experience, about halfway through this thing you'll need some motivation to push through day 15 and keep going. Once you choose to start getting rid of stuff you'll see that lightening the load helps you begin to focus on experiences over stuff.
Here are some ideas to keep you going.

You don't need to become a minimalist to enjoy the benefits of living lean. In fact, minimalism can mean many things to different people. As for myself I'm just content to be headed in that direction.
