Freefall Dance Company has been creating and performing daring, ground-breaking and award winning dance since 2002. By combining the dancers' exceptional talents and individual styles, Freefall has repeatedly challenged and amazed audiences locally, nationally and internationally proving their artistic potential.
In the rehearsal space there is a light-hearted but focussed atmosphere where the dancers are determined to improve their classical dance skills. They support each other and laugh together in this safe space where anything is possible. The dancers have the freedom to experiment with, and contribute to, exciting new ideas and possibilities in dance. The dancers' expression of their unique styles is encouraged through this freedom in rehearsal. As a result individual characters shine and this enriches Freefall performances.
Freefall continuously achieves and exceeds beyond expectations and stereotypes. The dancers' hard work and determination to succeed enables them to improve and create breath-taking dance routines admired by critics. Their impressive performance films have received international acclaim and the annual Freefall showcase performance is definitely deserving of a place in your diary! Performing in the Birmingham Hippodrome's Patrick Studio, the company showcases their talent through a number of routines and always entertains.
'[Freefall] is indeed a Birmingham treasure, greatly to be cherished and supported. It was wonderful to see, in conclusion, the invasion of the stage space by parents and siblings eager to hug and kiss and congratulate the performers - evidence, surely, of how Freefall is enriching family lives.'
MARY CLARKE, DANCING TIMES, 2008
Before 2002, Freefall Artistic Director Lee Fisher saw immense beauty in the unique movements of the dancers at Fox Hollies Performing Arts College. This inspired the creation of Freefall to provide a platform for talented dancers in a bracket of society for whom provision is limited. He considered the resulting creation of the Freefall group as a positive, innovative step for Birmingham Royal Ballet, Fox Hollies Performing Arts College and the wider community to work together and learn from each other. Freefall has been a huge success and has developed a reputation for its work with institutions such as the University of Birmingham and Coventry University. This has led to Freefall company members performing and leading workshops with trainee PE teachers and Occupational Therapists respectively.
As well as building a sense of pride for the dancers, the company is important as the Freefallers inspire others. Many of these remarkable dancers are ex-pupils of Fox Hollies. Dance training provided by expert dancers at Freefall allows members of the company to express themselves and their individualities without the restraint of their learning disabilities. The dancers have become role models for many currently attending the school as a result of their successes and 'can-do' attitudes. They inspire ambition among the young students and motivate audiences to chase dreams. Watch this space as Freefall continues to take the world by storm.
Freefall comprises Birmingham Royal Ballet staff, freelance artists, senior teachers and teaching assistants and a group of ten highly gifted dancers with severe learning disabilities.
Freefall meets weekly for two hours at Birmingham Royal Ballet studios. The sessions are highly structured and are equally divided between formal ballet technique training and choreographic work. Freefall is a fine example of collaborative and distributive leadership. This ensures genuine ownership by the company of all its choreography, and allows the dancers to contribute their own ideas therefore reflecting their unique style and creativity.
For the last ten years Freefall has been extending its reach through its innovative and collaborative dance development initiatives. Alonside a rigorous disability awareness intervention (designed and led by Fox Hollies School), members of the Freefall company frequently lead workshops with primary and secondary groups in special and mainstream educational settings. To date they have developed relationships with 19 schools, led teacher and dance artist INSETS and worked directly with over 300 young people.
More recently the Freefall company has developed a reputation for its work with universities. Partnerships have been extended with the University of Birmingham, School of Education and Coventry University, Department for Occupational Therapy. These have resulted in Freefall company members performing and leading workshops with trainee PE teachers and Occupational Therapists respectively and in both cases form part of thei annual on-going programmes.

Open College Network
Freefall has designed and implemented its very own accreditation scheme through the Open College Network (OCN). Excellence in Ballet is a nationally recognised programme with three modules at both Entry and Level One. The scheme measures and celebrates the dancers learning in Ballet Technique, Dance Appreciation and Choreography and Performance Skills. On the way to developing a suite of qualifications that Freefallers can gain throughout their careers, the company is currently developing units on Dance Leadership and being a Healthy Dancer.
National Arts Award
Freefallers are also invited to take part in Arts Council England's Arts Award – the national qualification which supports young people's development as artists and arts leaders.

Masks4Canada group is calling on the federal government to make a country-wide mask mandate. (Ashley Wadhwani/Black Press Media)
Masks4Canada group calls for federal mask mandate to slow spread of COVID-19
The group says cases continue to rise in crowded places, close-contact settings and closed spaces
Corey Bullock
The group Masks4Canada is calling on the federal government and Canada's chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam to implement a federal mask mandate across the country.
The Masks4Canada group was originally formed by a group of doctors and dentists in B.C. during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. They are now an alliance of over 1,900 Canadian physicians, professionals and citizens who recently wrote a letter asking the federal government to make a more uniform mandate when it comes to wearing masks. This comes as cases continue to rise country-wide and mask mandates vary from province to province.
This is not the first time that the group has called for a mask mandate. Back in August, Masks4Canada called on the province of B.C. for masks to be made mandatory in public spaces. They have also sent open letters to Alberta, Ontario and Quebec health officials.
The BC Centre for Disease Control says masks should be worn if you are sick or if you are caring for someone with COVID-19. Otherwise, it is a personal choice whether or not you wear a mask, although provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has said a mask is a useful layer of protection if a two-metre distance cannot be maintained.
Although masks are not mandatory in B.C., many businesses and organizations have taken mandates into their own hands. BC Transit, TransLink retail stores like Superstore and Walmart, schools, public institutions and many health care locations require masks. Some locally owned businesses have also made it mandatory to wear a mask upon entry, while middle and high school students must wear a face covering in "high traffic areas" within their schools. Masks are also required for personal care services.
Each province has different rules regarding masks, hence Masks4Canada's call for more definitive direction as the second wave begins across parts of the country.
The BC CDC says it's important that mask wearing is combined with other preventative measures including hand-washing and physical distancing.
"[A federal mask mandate] will send a strong message that we are in this together and we can once again get this under control if we work together as a country, not as a patchwork of bylaws done at the municipal or provincial level," reads the letter from Masks4Canada. "With interprovincial travel, and likely more international travel in the future, our community cases within the provinces that are not doing well will start to spread to the other provinces that are doing better. We need to learn from other countries by adopting measures from those that are doing well, and avoiding the mistakes of those that are doing poorly. It is up to your government to step up and keep us all safe and let our economy continue to recover."
The letter goes on to say that "young people" continue to party and exceed gathering limits. Masks4Canada says that they agree with mandatory masking for students in school, but ask why this is not uniform across the country for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 and those in universities and colleges.
"We are very happy that some municipal bylaws have mandated masks in all indoor public spaces such as grocery stores and shopping malls, and on public transit such as buses, taxis, and Ubers," said Masks4Canada. "What about private businesses, factories, hospitals, and common areas in condos [or] apartment buildings?"

The group says they understand that businesses need to re-open so the economy can rebuild, however they wonder why "high-risk" businesses are still able to run without masks including bars, gyms, casinos and strip clubs.
Masks4Canada says cases are occurring in high-risk, crowded situations. They called this the "Three C's": Crowded places, close-contact settings and closed spaces.
"Environments that violate the Three C's include private businesses and factories, schools including universities and colleges, hospitals, common areas in condos/apartment buildings, weddings in banquet halls, places of worship, gyms/sports facilities, and private parties," wrote Masks4Canada. "In these situations, people often do not or are unable to distance due to the nature of the work, or there is a sense of 'these are people we know and trust so there is no reason to distance from them.' It is in these situations where mandatory masking will help to protect those we know and trust."
Canada's COVID-19 guidelines make no mention of the virus spreading through aerosols, but rather they say that COVID-19 spreads through close contact, contaminated surfaces and common greetings like hand shaking and hugs.
The U.S. CDC, however, does acknowledge that COVID-19 can sometimes be spread through aerosols, or small droplets and particles.
Masks4Canada says this means that even if people are trying to avoid crowded spaces and close-contact by staying two metres apart, it is still possible for them to transmit the virus to each other in an enclosed, poorly ventilated space if they are not masked.
They say that mandatory lockdown is not sustainable from an economic standpoint and that mandatory masks would add another layer of protection.

"Out of all of these preventative measures, only masks that are properly worn can stop the virus at its source," says Masks4Canada. "Masks are a very low cost measure compared to the incredibly high costs of testing, ER and assessment centre visits, and ICU stays which are already overwhelming the system and are increasing at rates that we will soon be unable to control."
Public health advice on the use of masks has changed over the course of the pandemic. At first, Tam and other health officials discouraged mask use but have since shifted to recommending them, specifically because carriers of the virus can spread it without showing symptoms.
"But a recommendation, even a strong one, has not been enough. By making masks mandatory, hopefully we will be able to achieve 80 per cent masking which is needed in order to reduce transmission," said the letter from Masks4Canada.
Masks4Canada says education around proper mask wearing will make it easy for everyone to follow the suggested mandate. Combining mask wearing with proper hand-washing and physical distancing means less chance of transmission. They say masks must cover both the nose and mouth at all times and should be a cloth or disposable mask (not a bandana, neck gaiter or valved mask). They suggest that rather than handing out fines for not wearing a mask, a proper mask and education should be provided instead.

Talc Case Remanded as Defendant Fails to Establish Improper Joinder United States District Court, E.D. Louisiana, May 17, 2018
Case Decisions Louisiana Remand/Removal
Timothy C. Connor
LOUISIANA — The plaintiff, Marilyn Rousseau, sued defendants Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and K&B Louisiana Corporation (d/b/a Rite Aid Corporation), among others, claiming that her mesothelioma was caused in part by her use of their allegedly asbestos-contaminated talc products. Plaintiff, who was a Louisiana citizen, originally brought the suit in state court in Orleans Parish. J&J removed the case to federal court, claiming diversity jurisdiction and contending that K&B Louisiana, the only non-diverse defendant entity, was improperly joined.
Noting that the improper joinder doctrine constituted a narrow exception to complete diversity with a heavy burden of proof on the removing party, the court granted the plaintiff's motion to remand. "Improper joinder can be established in two ways: 1) actual fraud in the pleading of jurisdictional facts, or 2) the inability of the plaintiff to establish a cause of action against the non-diverse party in state court." Focusing on the second prong, J&J had claimed that the factual allegations of the plaintiff's petition specific to K&B Louisiana were not sufficient to establish professional vendor liability under Louisiana law, which holds that the duties of a seller found to be a professional vendor are the same as a manufacturer, who is charged with knowledge of the potential defects in its products. In support of its decision to remand, the court disclaimed these "technical deficiencies," and pointed to the need for discovery for the plaintiff to develop her claims against K&B Louisiana, and others given that the facts leading to the plaintiff's suit occurred forty to seventy years ago. As it could not conclude with any certainty that the plaintiff had no possibility of recovery against K&B Louisiana, the case was remanded to state court.

Does the US-China Trade Dispute Undermine Open Trade?
By Alan Oxley
US-China trade relations have stalled over the last four months, which the Australian Political Military community understand as marking the end of open trade globally. They could do better.
The hiatus in resolving tension in US-China trade relations over the past four months appears stalled. On the eve of what the US expected to be an amicable resolution which would allow trade to be adjusted and continue, Beijing stalled the process.
The US expectation that China would alter its trading patterns — principally to meet the US call to reduce the Chinese surplus in trade with the US — has been dashed. It considers Beijing swerved away at the last moment. But there had been rumours Chinese exporters were pointing up to Beijing loss of competitiveness in the US import markets.
In his usual manner President Trump immediately announced increased levies on Chinese imports. It may be some time before the provisionally agreed upon approaches and strategies are resurrected. Negotiators on both sides appear to have related professionally. President Trump continues to treat President Xi in a most amiable manner – Trump is sparing in treating others in that manner.
Share markets immediately fell, of course. What everybody wants to know is what will happen.
An all out trade war is unlikely. It would cost China more than the US. US negotiators contend that China stepped back at the last minute from agreeing to curb exports to the US: which the US claims are under-priced. Chinese officials were more opaque. Neither has said the process is irrevocably stalled.
There has also been renewed loose talk among Australian institutions that these conflicts herald the decline of the global open market trading system established after World War Two. A mantra to that effect has been growing recently in part of the Australian Pol-Mil — Political Military — community and amongst commonly-minded officials in the Departments of Defence, Prime Minister and Cabinet as well as Intelligence agencies and the Pol-Mil wing of DFAT.
The concerns stem from the expansion of China's military presence in the South China Sea and its intention to extend its global reach, such as through promoting its Belt and Road Initiative. Washington DC's Pol-Mil community and now Canberra' strategic policy community see an "Indo Pacific" counter to the Chinese strategic wave. This enclave would include the US, Australia, India and Japan.
Is there now strategic myopia in Canberra? India appears happy to build relations with China, rather than antagonize. Is it just Australia's ignorance about how the rest of the world functions today?
There has been a common theme in the Hawke, Howard and Gillard Governments: liberalize the Australian economy and build out an Asian Pacific economic community. Three specific drivers were used. First, the liberalizing principles of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) were built into its expanded form as the World Trade Organization, particularly by encouraging Asian Pacific economies to set specific growth targets. Second, establishing APEC to foster liberalization among all key economies in the Asia Pacific region. Third, foster an Asian Pacific free trade agreement as promoted by Barack Obama and Julia Gillard.
Donald Trump formally sidelined Obama's Trans-Pacific Partnership and set about his own strategy. Grand pronouncements at the outset ballyhooed WTO principles and rules and called for protection of US producers and free trade agreements which delivered surplus for the US. But as time passed, Trump has not sought to pull the WTO apart: if anything, he is pushing for overdue reform.
Trump today is not the same Trump that was elected in 2016. He initially dismissed and debunked established trade policies and processes. But now more than halfway through his first term he supports improvements in the US-Canada-Mexico free trade agreement — though these have not yet been approved by Congress — and supported changes to the Korean and Japanese free trade agreements with the US.
Australia has not been adversely affected by Trump policies. Gains may be on offer. If or when there is accord between Washington DC and Beijing over trade, it is likely Beijing will try to reduce its dependence on US imports. Demand for agricultural products grows in China as does rising demand for higher quality food and agricultural products. Australia is already a rapidly growing supplier of food and agricultural products to China.
The Australia China Free Trade Agreement set out some initial markers for expansion of other traded areas such as services. Opportunities for medical, education and some financial services areas are set out in the FTA. Some of these increased trade and investment opportunities must be considered as real options as China seeks to demonstrate broadened interest in trade in services.
However, if Australia is to be serious about such opportunities, which the last three prime ministers have promoted, it needs to put into context how Pol-Mil issues are handled. On this score the relevant agencies are moving the wrong way.
Australia's security and intelligence community only sees friction. Yet this is not the first time foreign security interests have operated in Australia. Russia did and probably retains significant intelligence activity in Australia. So does China, and probably at a greater level: it has more interest in Australia.
Every alert government monitors intelligence activity and takes appropriate action as required. It does not have to be made public: it is common strategy. The Australian Government is wholly capable of managing intelligence challenges while advancing the national interest.

In this winter issue of IHMM Today, we will be featuring Ms. Linda H. Lawhorn, who specializes in the transportation of hazardous materials and hazardous waste by highway and air. She earned a M.S. degree in Safety Education and Services and a B.S. degree in Finance from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Ms. Lawhorn has twenty-five years of experience in the environmental field with twenty-one years of concentrated experience in hazardous materials transportation, training, and auditing. She has been a virtual "hazmat hotline," providing expertise to both internal and external clients in the areas of hazardous materials/waste management, hazardous materials/waste transportation, and radioactive materials/waste transportation. Ms. Lawhorn routinely authors and provides customized shipping training to clients in a variety of environmental, retail, manufacturing, and government research facilities. She has performed audits of transportation and hazardous waste management programs at retail, manufacturing, and research facilities.
IHMM: How did you begin your career and what motivated you to pursue your career in this field?
[Linda Lawhorn] When I finished my Master's in Safety Education and Services, I transferred into my environmental company's treatability study and biotechnology laboratories as assistant to the Environmental Compliance Coordinator. When she left shortly thereafter, I had to quickly learn it all, not just the shipping portion that I had barely begun to grasp. I was motivated by a desire to do my job well, and by an even stronger desire not to be the next "don't-ever-do-this" incident with the regulators.
IHMM: How did you hear about the CHMM and CDGP certifications?
[Linda Lawhorn] I was surrounded with Ph.D. chemists, professional geologists and professional engineers, and I didn't have any "street cred" with them at all because my undergraduate degree was in Finance and my graduate work was Safety, not a technical field at all (in their eyes). I needed a boost, and my research indicated that the CHMM credential was the very best one for me. That was nearly twenty years ago. Since that time, the CDGP credential became available and I decided to rely on my years of experience during the ensuing period to see if I could achieve that one too. IHMM was looking for beta testers and I volunteered (and passed).
IHMM: What value does obtaining a dual certification as a CHMM and as a CDGP hold for you?
[Linda Lawhorn] It depends on the audience. To a potential client or employer, I have demonstrated a verified level of expertise in the subject matter that may set me apart from other candidates for selection. To colleagues, it may mean that I can be depended upon as a resource when a problem arises. In both cases, the credentials are recognized as valuable and meaningful, not just window-dressing.
IHMM: What types of skills or training are required for a Dangerous Goods Professional as opposed to a Certified Hazardous Materials Professional?
[Linda Lawhorn] While the CHMM credential requires a depth of knowledge in a number of EHS&S areas, the CDGP credential requires specific knowledge of dangerous goods transport that is beyond mere familiarity or the ability to remember which CFR to pick up. The required texts differ in structure from our domestic regulations, so the examinee needs to have firsthand experience moving within and between these international texts. In addition, the state and operator variances are keys to successfully transporting dangerous goods across borders with the fewest surprises, so awareness of international requirements and carrier peculiarities is important.
IHMM: What is a typical work day like for a Dangerous Goods Professional?
[Linda Lawhorn]Very stressful on a day when a coworker drops by your office at 4 P.M. with an unexpected dangerous goods package that has to arrive at its destination by 9 A.M. the next day. A less stressful day involves preparation of a package that has been planned, from its classification to its packaging, allowing ample time to engage in initial research and peer review before shipment.
IHMM: Do you provide mentoring in the field of hazardous materials and dangerous goods, if so, how?
[Linda Lawhorn] I participate in a mentoring program for high school students in my county to make sure they enter college. I use this opportunity to talk about my career and how I ended up doing the work I do and earning my credentials.
IHMM: What are some current examples of cutting-edge hazmat transportation technologies that have had the most impact on hazardous materials transportation?
[Linda Lawhorn] There are a number of software applications to assist shippers in identifying applicable requirements. The most important thing to remember about these is that the shipper is ultimately responsible for knowing the regulations and making a compliant shipment. Software is a tool of convenience, not a substitute for knowledge.
IHMM: Can you share a few best practices in the transportation of hazardous materials/dangerous goods by road, railroad, sea or air?
[Linda Lawhorn] 1. Use the definition sections of your regulations – terminology means everything! 2. Don't neglect the "Symbols" or "Special Provisions" columns of the Big Tables – there is liability-limiting information there. 3. Check yourself for compliance with the most frequently cited violations: training, registration, and emergency response information and telephone number. 4.

IHMM: As President of theEast Tennessee Chapter - Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals, what are your goals for fostering the professional development of its members and increasing the recognition of the CHMM and CDGP credentials?
[Linda Lawhorn] The East Tennessee chapter is very active in the Knoxville and Oak Ridge communities. Because of our reputation as knowledgeable and dependable hazmat professionals, we are able to arrange interesting tours of facilities where tomorrow's technologies are being developed right now, and we are able to attract speakers on a wide range of pertinent EHS&S topics. Both of these activities contribute to the continued growth and development of our membership, all of whom are CHMMs. We advertise our credential regularly at events like the U.S. Department of Energy Science Bowl, Y-12 SafetyFest, Anderson County Household Hazardous Waste Roundup, TDOT's Adopt-A-Highway Program, TDEC Show of the South, and our own presentation of the "Essentials of Hazardous Materials Management" course twice each year. Our most recent Essentials class hosted three Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation employees, an audience we've been trying to recruit for years, because we feel it is important for the industry that our regulators both value, and earn, the CHMM credential.
IHMM: What sort of opportunity would this profession offer returning veterans?
[Linda Lawhorn] Veterans with experience in logistics for movement of large quantities of equipment and materials, including hazardous materials, or in chemical or mechanical deactivation of materials or devices containing hazmat are well suited for hazmat and hazwaste work in private industry.
IHMM: If you are speaking to a group of college students, what would you say about your profession?
[Linda Lawhorn] I would say that I have found my work to be supremely satisfying and financially reliable. I've been able to work in places where new treatment methods were being developed, and also in places of historic significance, and I thoroughly enjoyed both.
IHMM: How do you expect the field of hazardous materials and environmental, health and safety to change over the next 5 to 10 years?
[Linda Lawhorn] I expect environmental work to begin to shift away from cleaning up yesterday's environmental mistakes and grow toward better management practices from an activity's outset to limit or avoid environmental impact.
Ms. Lawhorn currently works at the Edgewater Technical Associates as a Senior Transportation Specialist and is deployed at the former uranium enrichment plant now known as ETTP to ship radioactive waste generated during the demolition of contaminated historical structures.

Eastern Han Green-Glazed Terracotta Ding - H.604
Circa: 25 AD to 220 AD
Dimensions: 14" (35.6cm) high
Collection: Chinese
Medium: Glazed Terracotta
Print image
The Han Dynasty, like the Zhou before it, is divided into two distinct periods, the Western Han (206 B.C.-9 A.D.) and the Eastern Han (23-220 A.D.) with a brief interlude. Towards the end of the Western period, a series of weak emperors ruled the throne, controlled from behind the scenes by Wang Mang and Huo Guang, both relatives of empresses. They both exerted enormous influence over the government and when the last emperor suddenly passed away, Mang became ruling advisor, seizing this opportunity to declare his own Dynasty, the Xin, or "New." However, another popular uprising began joined by the members of the Liu clan, the family that ruled the Han Dynasty, the Xin came to a quick end and the Eastern Han was established in its place with its capital at Loyang (Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han, was completely destroyed).
However, even as Chinese influence spread across Southeastern Asia into new lands, the Eastern Han Dynasty was unable to recreate the glories of the Western Period. In fact, this period can be characterized by a bitter power struggle amongst a group of five consortial clans. These families sought to control the young, weak emperors with their court influence. Yet, as the emperors became distrustful of the rising power of the clans, they relied upon their eunuchs to defend them, often eliminating entire families at a time. During the Western Han, the Emperor was viewed as the center of the universe. However, this philosophy slowly disintegrated under the weak, vulnerable rulers of the Eastern Han, leading many scholars and officials to abandon the court. Eventually, the power of the Han would completely erode, ending with its dissolution and the beginning of the period known as the "Three Kingdoms."
Green and brown glaze vessels of the Han Dynasty are generally based on bronze predecessors but feature distinctive variations that are quite pleasing. This green-glazed ding is notable for its elegant decorations. The lid is embellished with a central roundel featuring two overlapping fish. This design is framed by a band adorned with a swirling geometric abstract pattern rendered in low relief while a serrated motif marks the outer edge of the lid. The presence of the fish no doubt relates to the function of this vessel. Dings were originally crafted in bronze and used to cook foods, hung over the fire by its high handles. However, the function would evolve from the preparation of foods to the presentation and serving of meals at festival rites and ceremonies. This ding rests on three legs molded to imitate horse hooves. The gorgeous green glaze recalls similar works in bronze, and the glaze has acquired a beautiful, soft iridescent patina over the ages. Commonly referred to as "silver frost," this iridescence is the result of wet and dry periods in a tomb whereby the clay dissolves the lead glaze and redeposits it on the surface, where it hardens. A testament of age, this patina is also admired by collectors for its charming aesthetic qualities, similar in effect to mother of pearl. Although this vessel would have functioned as an elegant presentation for a dish in life, it was found discovered buried in a tomb. A symbol for the bountiful pleasures of life, for feasting and celebrating, this ding would have represented the joys to be experienced in the afterlife and the feasts and celebrations yet to come. Today, this vessel is not only a gorgeous work of art, treasured for its history and rarity; but also a stunning reminder of the richness and luxury of the Han Dynasty, both in this world and the next. - (H.604)

Winning transforms Clevelanders, even if only for a minute
A championship really can change how people see themselves and their city
Up Next From Sports
Fans wait for the beginning of the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA championship parade in downtown Cleveland. Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports
By Daniel McGraw	@danmcgraw1
It was weird being in Cleveland this week.
It wasn't the city I was used to living in. While the civic boosters like to trot out how friendly Cleveland is, its citizenry can be as mean and nasty and aloof as any American city – sometimes even more so – especially if it is in one of its moods. Like Cleveland's normal mood of feeling disrespected and feeling that jobs have been shipped overseas and the media labeling us a loser city because our sports teams lose. You feel that most of the time.
But Cleveland was happy this week – really, really happy – and it wasn't a hey-look-at-us-aren't-we-great vibe going on. It was more of a wide-eyed shock and awe combined with a soothing peace of mind, knowing that we weren't what we were last week. The Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA championship Sunday night, 52 years since the last time, when the Cleveland Browns won the NFL championship in 1964.
I was 5 years old back then. To put in perspective how long ago that was, the Browns-Baltimore Colts championship game wasn't on local TV in Cleveland in 1964 because the game hadn't sold out in time. Yes, the last time Cleveland won a championship, people in Northeast Ohio listened to it on the radio. The only visual from that game I remember is my dad pacing around the living room.
"Cleveland has had the camaraderie of losing, and that can be unifying in many respects, but the camaraderie of winning is much more overt and causes people to embrace and share the experience with people they don't know."
It was almost as if we didn't know what to do Monday. All that pent-up frustration and anger and feeling that no one likes us went away with that Kyrie Irving 3-pointer. What moved into that vacuum of longtime disillusion was sheer joy that had been walled off for so many years that we didn't know what to do with it.
And it played out in odd ways. I was riding on the Red Line train midmorning Monday, and the people heading downtown were actually talking to each other. Some white hipster millennial dudes were talking to some old black guys about the intricacies of LeBron James' block of Andre Iguodala's shot, and the old brothers related how they saw a guy down at the Cedar/Central projects knock his head against the backboard while blocking a shot in the '70s. The millennial dudes were impressed; one showed an old guy how to get his text messages better on his flip phone.
Normally this train is full of tattoo-faced meth heads shaking down people for change and others who yell on their phones about the latest hospital or jail emergency they are dealing with. One young kid saw I had the morning paper with a big picture of James on the front and asked if he could look at it. Usually, I would say no or stare out the window and ignore him. But we were all happy on this train, so I gave him the paper to keep. He said, "Thank you." I said, "You're welcome."

My nephew, Tom McGraw, 24, a recent graduate of Ohio State, was buying doughnuts for the office on his way to work at 7 a.m. Monday. "The guy in line in front of me saw I had a Cavs shirt on, and he turned around and hugged me," Tom told me with some amazement. "Didn't say anything to me. Just looked at me and smiled. After he hugged me, he turned back to the counter and gave his order.
"It was like the whole city had finally calmed down about losing this thing they had on their backs for all these years," my nephew said. "I was talking to my friends at halftime. Some of us wondered if we would cry if we won or lost. We all agreed we would certainly cry if we won, but none of us would if we lost. Because who gets emotional over something that happens all the time?"
Cleveland got to experience a winning "sports cry" for the first time. It comes at a time when some people think sports is only about billionaire owners fleecing the taxpayers, millionaire players beating their wives or girlfriends and sports fans more concerned about salary caps than the triangle offense. But the effect sports teams have on their communities should not be dismissed or downplayed as inconsequential.
"Sports can matter to a community, because events like Cleveland is going through this week can have a big effect on the soul of the city," said Daniel Wann, a psychologist at Murray State University who studies fan behavior.
"It's different in Cleveland than it would be anywhere else," Wann continued. "Cleveland has had the camaraderie of losing, and that can be unifying in many respects, but the camaraderie of winning is much more overt and causes people to embrace and share the experience with people they don't know."
Wann is right in that respect. Losing tends to get buried deeper within the soul, while winning makes one want to reach out. After the Browns left for Baltimore in 1996, I lost the emotional attachment of being a Cleveland sports fan. It was anger at first, but then it became a year-by-year beatdown that produced apathy. I figured I was done. Because by not caring, I was not losing, in a way being undefeated by avoidance.
Were we cheering for them because we felt we had to, because it was deeply embedded in the identity? Or were we cheering for them because it was all we had left, and if we didn't support them, they might leave, too?
The decline in Cleveland's population and the sports championship drought mirrored each other almost to the exact dates. In 1964, Cleveland had about 850,000 people and was the ninth-largest city in America. This year, the population is 388,000, making Cleveland the 51st largest. Pittsburgh has seen a similar population drop, but at least it had those six Super Bowl wins to alleviate the Rust Belt reality.
This combination of angst and apathy built up over time, and the sports fandom in Northeast Ohio became a little disjointed. Were we cheering for them because we felt we had to, because it was deeply embedded in the identity? Or were we cheering for them because it was all we had left, and if we didn't support them, they might leave, too?
Not to say any community should be defined solely by its sports teams, but to say they don't matter much ignores basic human interaction tendencies. We want positive reasons to interact and share and be nice to one another. The Cavaliers gave that gift to Clevelanders Sunday night.
That's why there were no burning of cars or looting in Cleveland Sunday night after the championship had been won. That's why about 1 million people of every race and ethnicity and economic demographic group jammed into downtown Cleveland on Wednesday without incident. That's why the dude-bros were crying and the woo-girls were screaming and the old folks were hugging as The Chosen One from Akron, Ohio, held that big gold trophy high for all to look at.
"You can see how sports lights up a city," Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown, a member of the 1964 Browns' championship team, said on TV as the parade started.
Will the happiness last? Probably not. People will go back to being their ornery selves. But they will remember how they were so happy individually this week, and more happy for those around them. That's what winning does for a city. At least for the first time around, anyway.

title: Use the flex-direction Property to Make a Row
localeTitle: Utilice la propiedad de dirección flexible para hacer una fila
---
## Utilice la propiedad de dirección flexible para hacer una fila

Una vez que tenga un contenedor flexible agregando _display: flex;_ al contenedor principal, puede especificar si desea que los secundarios se apilen en una fila agregando lo siguiente:

```css
#box-container {
    display: flex; /* This makes the flex container */
    height: 500px;
    flex-direction: row-reverse; /* This makes the direction be a row with reversed elements */
  }
```

Notará cómo los colores cambian de posición, ya que la dirección predeterminada de los contenedores flexibles son filas, como puede haber notado en el [ejemplo de tweet](https://github.com/freecodecamp/guides/tree/master/src/pages/responsive-web-design/css-flexbox/add-flex-superpowers-to-the-tweet-embed/index.md) .

Frozen is our edition about cryonics as a possible cold "limbo" for the believers of a better future. A future where technology will be able to keep us alive longer, in a healthy body (human or not) but first of all will be able to bring us back to life!
You would not think so, but people are preserved, 'in suspension' since the late 60's waiting for us to bring them back!
Do we want them back?
What happen if one come back with health care needs, costs, no family etc… Who is supposed to take care of this human of the past?
Is humanity responsible of those choosing to get cryogenized?
Be prepared for an icy evening with liquid nitrogen, frozen brains, ice creams and surprises!

But who could have been responsible for something on this scale? The traditional rustlers from across the Lesotho border? Unlikely.
Internal operators using pantechnikons, dropping their tailboard over the fence so the sheep could be herded on board?
Perhaps. That would explain why not a single fence had been cut.
But the police stock theft units were stumped. So were other branches of the police. The army and the air force became involved. Plaster casts were being made of vehicle tracks on the dirt roads.
Every abattoir in the country was under police observation. But nobody had a clue.
The ranch had been set up 10 years earlier by a Pinetown businessman buying up a whole lot of traditional southern districts farms, re-organising and computerising them. Every sheep on the ranch was recorded on the computer mainframe in Pinetown.
In the end, the mystery was solved. It was a computer glitch. Every animal had, from birth, a micro-chip tag put in its ear. When it was sold, or if it died, that micro-chip's details were fed into the computer in Pinetown.
The thing was solved only when the senior stockman returned from a holiday in Namibia, astonished to find the place swarming with police. He then nearly collapsed with laughter when told the reason and produced a well-thumbed little black book.
When sheep are struck by lightning or devoured by jackals, then vultures, there's seldom any micro-chip left to feed into the computer in Pinetown. This stockman recorded all such cases in his little black book. They totted up to about 600 over the 10 years the ranch had been operating – a perfectly acceptable attrition rate of about 1%.
The computer that needs a well-thumbed little black book to get it right. I like it, I like it.
It's a delightful read, capturing the humour (and angst) of life in the southern districts. (With excursions to London and to Kenya).
AS IT HAPPENS, I met up with Tod in Underberg the other night and we had a bite at the club.
We got to discussing the sudden and sad recent death of Stooks Wilton, a dear fellow who farmed at Swartberg, in East Griqualand – my schoolmate, Tod's client.
Much of a country vet's work concerns animals' birthing problems – protruded uterus, that kind of thing. Stooks phoned with that very problem in one of his animals.
Tod was too busy locally to travel to EG. He gave Stooks a quick rundown by phone on how to push the uterus back, administer antiseptic and put in stitches if necessary. "A piece of cake," he said.
Next, Stooks was on the phone again. He couldn't even get her down on the ground, he said.
"Put her on the back seat of your car and bring her in," said Tod.
"How do I get a cow on the back seat of my car?"
Yes, Tod had been talking about a ewe, Stooks about a cow. In Underberg these short stories seem to just write themselves.
PRESIDENT Donald Trump has ordered National Guard troops from the Mexican border to Manhattan, to protect the offices of his accountant, according to the New Yorker.
This follows an FBI raid on the offices of his personal attorney.
"The troops will secure the corridors and elevator banks in the vicinity of the accounting firm that prepares Trump's taxes."
The mission is designated "Operation Safe Returns".
"Trump's unilateral decision to invade Manhattan drew a muted response in diplomatic circles around the world, with many allies taking a cautious 'wait and see' attitude."
Yes, this is satirist Andy Borowitz again. He's a busy man.
SHAKESPEARE walks into a bar and asks for a beer.
Barman: "I can't serve you. You're bard."


Trust in peer-to-peer and crowdsourced delivery is low, with only 14% of consumer trusting these methods. Yet, the speed and quality of delivery expectations are rapidly growing at a pace that traditional delivery services may not be able to keep up with.
According to Dropoff's third annual survey on how consumer expectations on delivery reveals that 43% of consumers expect companies to have "much faster delivery times" than last year, up from 35% in the 2017 survey.
And of those expectations, 75% of respondents want a professional delivery service, up from 72%, rather than a peer-to-peer one. In fact, only 14% of consumers trust Uber, Postmates or Deliv to deliver their packages, up slightly from 13% last year.
So why the mistrust? Survey results show that a decline in delivery quality may be responsible for the consumer opinion. Of those surveyed, 36% have received incorrect items (up from 31% in 2017); 41% have received damaged items (up from 34%); 78% have gotten packages late (up from 70%); and 31% have had a package gone missing (up from 25%). This unprofessional behavior can make or break a future consumer, as 57% of those surveyed said an unprofessional delivery affects whether they would shop from the retailer again.
In addition, consumers are willing to pay for this top professionalism. Almost half, 47%, of consumers have paid extra for same day or next day delivery and 65% say they want the same fast delivery options as Amazon or are willing to shop elsewhere.


The devastating magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake that occurred in Haiti on January 12, 2010 left over 890,000 people homeless (along with a death toll of up to 85,000). As a part of the herculean relief effort, GPSI, a Structural Concrete Insulation Panel (SCIP) contractor, contributed their expertise in providing quick and reliable replacement housing. The prototype structure pictured above has a living area the size of a typical garage (20 feet by 20 feet), yet contains two bedrooms, a kitchenette, and a living room.
GPSI provided the Therml-Impac Panel product and the technical expertise for this project. The panel installation and plaster finishing was completed by local, unskilled labor.
Though other areas of the Caribbean appeared to have adequate Building Codes, the Building Regulations in Haiti proved to be non-existent. Because this structure was intended to be duplicated across a wide swath of Haiti, Johnson Leifield Structural Engineers, as a catch-all, designed this single-family residence using seismic loads appropriate for downtown Los Angeles and hurricane wind forces for beachfront Miami.
U.N. Special Envoy to Haiti, Former President Bill Clinton and Haitian President Michel Martelly view the GPSI Prototype House at the Haiti BBBC (Building Back Better Communities) Housing Expo on June 5, 2011. This SCIP panel system provides Permanent Homes and Job Creation to Haiti.

Banda sonora original

Recepción
El 1 de enero de 2023 la serie se situó en quinta posición entre las más vistas en todo el mundo de la plataforma Netflix, y la primera en Corea del Sur, Filipinas, Tailandia, Vietnam y otros países asiáticos.Tres días después de su lanzamiento había registrado más de veinticinco millones de horas de visualización, ocupando por ello el tercer lugar mundial en la categoría de habla no inglesa.En total, en la semana del 2 al 8 de enero acumuló 82,48 millones de horas, ocupando la primera posición en dicha categoría.

Crítica
Oh Kyung-min (Khan), comentando la primera parte de la serie, considera que la trama de venganza urdida por la guionista Kim Eun-sook carece de tensión: no se sabe hacia dónde se dirige, aunque parece apuntar a la hija de Yeon-jin. El personaje de Dong-geun resulta desdibujado por actuar no tanto como la vengadora sino como «compañera de citas» de los protagonistas masculinos: la relación de ella con Yeo-jeong está poco justificada, y aún menos la «atmósfera extrañamente romántica entre Do-young y Dong-geun». Destaca por último las actuaciones de Song Hye-kyo, Jung Ji-so y Shin Ye-eun.

Joan MacDonald (Forbes) resalta la «interpretación matizada de Dong-geum» por parte de Song Hye-kyo, así como la «actuación desgarradora» que del mismo personaje, en edad adolescente, hace Jung Ji-so. Para MacDonald, «No es fácil ver el primer episodio de La gloria. Sin embargo, muestra claramente que la violencia escolar (acoso escolar) es un acto cruel que deja cicatrices indelebles tanto física como mentalmente [...] La gloria presenta una buena cantidad de giros inesperados en la trama, cambiando la historia de casi horror a melodrama y misterio de asesinato».

Adding just a bit more.
It's Day 9. I think that's important. Last fall, on Day 9 of National Novel Writing Month, I broke through something and my writing came easier after that. Let's hope the same happens this month. See you tomorrow, same time, same station….
Beautiful metaphor and beautiful image of the complexities of the weave.

You need to install OpenOffice.org without local administrator rights.
Your system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.
You need to install OpenOffice.org without the system integration (file associations and menu shortcuts).
You need to install OpenOffice.org on portable media (such as a USB disk). Roll our own Portable OpenOffice.org!
You need to install multiple versions of OpenOffice.org in parallel. For example, you can install and simultaneously run versions 2 and 3.
You need to perform a network installation on a server.
If none of these apply to you, you may instead wish to use the standard installation.
The Nullsoft Installer .exe unpacks several files to a temporary folder on the desktop. Then, it automatically starts the next step.
The Microsoft Windows Installer performs the actual installation.
A benefit of this system is that the Nullsoft Installer allows a much smaller download while the Windows Installer is Windows' native and preferred installation system (especially nice for installing through Group Policy and Active Directory).
OpenOffice.org installs simply without significant registry changes or placing files outside of its Program Files directory: this makes the OpenOffice.org application easy to relocate to different folders—even on different computers.
Download OpenOffice.org. Depending on the version, language, and JRE option, the file will have a name like OOo_3.0.1_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe.
On your desktop, open the newly-created folder which has a name like OpenOffice.org 3.0 (en-US) Installation Files (which varies depending on the OpenOffice.org version).
While viewing the folder, click Tools > Folder Options.
Click the File > New > Text Document.
Name the new file install.bat. Windows may warns you: "If you change a file name extension, the file may become unusable. Are you sure you want to change it?" Click Yes to accept the warning.
Right click on install.bat and choose Edit.
NOTE: The filename openofficeorg30.msi may change slightly depending on your OpenOffice.org version. Use the name of whichever filename you actually have. In case Windows is hiding filename extensions, look for the one file with type Windows Installer Package.
Run the batch file (by double clicking on it).
Follow the instructions in the installation program. If necessary, adjust the installation path. Whichever installation path you choose, add something like OOo to the end of it. For example, instead of just C:\, use c:\OOo to keep all the files organized.
Now OpenOffice.org is installed. There are no file associations or menu shortcuts, so you must start the application directly. If you installed it in (for example) C:\OOo, then run C:\OOo\Program\SOffice.exe. Then, there are two ways to open existing documents.
Drag the file and drop it on the blank OpenOffice.org window.
If you have local admin privileges on computer X but not computer Y, you can use this procedure.
Install OpenOffice.org normally on computer X.
Copy the OpenOffice.org installation folder (typically something like C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3.0) from computer X to computer Y.
To uninstall methods 1 or 2, simply delete the folder with the application.
Download and use Portable OpenOffice.org.
Did you actually want to do a network installation (also called an administrative installation)?
Follow Method 1 (above) to install OpenOffice.org centrally on a server.
On each desktop, run the openofficeorg30.msi created in the installation target directory. This step installs the program files locally, registers file associations, creates shortcuts, etc.
A silent installation installs OpenOffice.org without user interaction, so it can run unattended from a batch file.
Start with the same procedure as method 1 until the point of creating the batch file.
Thank you very much for these useful hints!
Just a question: what's the "ause" parameter for?
Cobo: Oops, I had the 'pause' command in there for debugging, but I am removing it now for publication.
I believe you have an error here with the comment about running the msi on the worjkstation to create file associations - oo3never creates any file associations!?
Anonymous: Of course OpenOffice.org 3 creates file associations! First, it creates file associations for OpenDocument Format files (odt, ods, odp, etc). I see OOo bug 96594: MSOffice file association has people upset; however, I just ran the silent install on this page, and MSO files (doc, docx, xlsx) are associated.
Please (puh-leeze!) do a similar rundown for installing 3 and higher under Ubuntu.
I moved to a new computer, and didn't even want the 2.4 that came with my Intrepid install. But I got careless, didn't uninstall it before putting 3 on, and I never have managed to get the desktop integration working. I'm not sure how to cleanly uninstall everything, but keep my config files!, and start over. sudo apt-get --purge dumps everything, --remove doesn't seem to dump enough.
It'd be nice if Sun moved into the 21st century and established a repository Ubuntu users could add to Synaptic, or at least started providing .deb files that installed, including desktop integration, with one click, like Firefox!
But one question: Does it create an entry in C:/Documents and settings/... or read/modify an existing entry?
None of these methods should touch "C:/Documents and settings/" during installation, but most do during application usage. I think the exception is Method 3 (Portable OpenOffice.org) which modifies OOo to write its settings elsewhere.
Almost worked... On the very last step (running the .bat file), I got 'Error 1925. You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine.' I only have limited access to the machine (my user's folder, including the desktop). I also tried installing to a USB drive so I could drag it to a better location afterward. Any ideas? I'll probably just use Method 2.
msiexec.exe /A openofficeorg23.msi ALLUSERS="" and it will work.
I used method 1 with OOo 3.1 so I could do an install without admin rights. However, that doesn't work. I did include the ALLUSERS="" option, so the install went ok; but when starting any program, the message about the configuration error appears.
Gidi: What if you copy msvcr90.dll to the \program\ directory where soffice.exe is?
still the same... I think it needs all the stuff in winsxs as well.
For those having problems with the network install not working, it is most likely because the msvc*90.dll's are missing. In the OpenOffice.org initial download, after the files are extracted look in the installation folder for a folder called "redist". This is to install the c++ redistributale's. This will fix the missing dll's.
Richard, indeed, the msvc*90.dll libraries are not installed on this public computer. (It has older versions, up to 7.1); however, I need administrator rights to install the package (vcredist_x86.exe) included in the "redist" folder that you mention.
Copying the .dlls to C:\windows\system32 doesn't work (Access denied).
"error 1925. You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation ........"
and the program is not installed.
Before it I tried to install using the method described for OOo2X. There it could install but could not run.

Tamil Nadu Beaches Barred for Kaanum Pongal Outing; CM Urges Caution Against Covid-19
Kaanum Pongal festivities next month would be a subdued affair in the state with the Tamil Nadu government announcing that popular beaches will be out of bounds for people, in a bid to check the spread of COVID-19, as it announced more relaxations to the virus-induced restrictions.
To curb the spread of the new strain of the virus, Chief Minister K Palaniswami said the e-registration system would continue for those entering the state from other parts of the country, except Puducherry, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
Restrictions on international flight services will continue except for the routes allowed by Centre, he said in a statement, adding, the restrictions with relaxations will be in place till January 31, 2021. The state government had first imposed a lockdown on March 25, and various relaxations have been provided subsequently.
The government has already banned the New Year celebrations in restaurants, hotels, clubs and resorts, including beach resorts, on Thursday and Friday. Palaniswami said the members of the public would not be allowed to gather at Marina and other beaches during Kaanum Pongal as a precaution to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection.
During Kaanum Pongal, on January 16 and part of the Pongal harvest festival celebrations, people visit popular tourist hotspots and the Marina here is a much sought after destination that day when huge crowds throng the famed beach. Further, the CM allowed 50 percent capacity or a cap of 200 participants in in-door auditoriums for social, political, recreational, sports, cultural, educational and religious events from January 1, 2021.
Prior permission from authorities is necessary. In-door and outdoor film shooting for cinema and small screens are permitted without any cap on the number of professionals involved.
The government relaxed restrictions already in place to allow the public in all places of worship and a Standard Operating Procedure has to be followed in this regard, he said. The existing procedures in the containment zones throughout the state will be fully observed without any relaxation.
Calling upon the people to continue to wear masks and follow all safety precautions, Palaniswami said the spread of the pandemic has been gradually reduced in all the districts of Tamil Nadu. The contagion has been brought under control due to the excellent work of the state government and the co-operation of the public.
"As a result of the special measures taken by the Government of Tamil Nadu, the infection rate has been brought down to less than 1.7 percent in the last one month. The number of people affected by the disease in the last 10 days is less than 1,100 per day while those undergoing treatment is about 8,867 from about 50,000 in the past," Palaniswami said.
"We must all continue to strive to prevent the spread of the infection in Tamil Nadu; and in particular avoid overcrowding in public places, the chief minister urged.

Q: Using ddply to find correlation of a dataframe for separate groups for R ds <- structure(list(GPA = c(1.78, 2.38, 2.43, 1.98, 1.56, 2.32, 1.96,
2.73, 2, 3.59), STUDY_STAGE = c(3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L,
3L, 3L), OLAGG = c(18, 14, 14, 17, 17, 16, 16, 15, 14, 15)), .Names = c("GPA",
"STUDY_STAGE", "OLAGG"), row.names = c(NA, 10L), class = "data.frame")

I've made reference to this post
spearman correlation by group in R
However, when I attempted to find the correlation based on sub group STUDY_STAGE (there are 3), I obtained all same values.
ddply(ds,.(STUDY_STAGE), summarise, cor(ds$GPA, ds$OLAGG, method = "spearman"))
STUDY_STAGE        ..1
1           1 -0.2805924
2           2 -0.2805924
3           3 -0.2805924

Additional information on the dataframe
str(ds)
'data.frame':   3167 obs. of  3 variables:
$ GPA        : num  1.78 2.38 2.43 1.98 1.56 2.32 1.96 2.73 2 3.59 ...
$ STUDY_STAGE: int  3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ...
$ OLAGG      : num  18 14 14 17 17 16 16 15 14 15 ...

Just to show that they should have different correlation values:
ds.yr1<-ds[ds$STUDY_STAGE=="Yr 1",]
cor(ds.yr1$GPA, ds.yr1$OLAGG)
[1] -0.3313926

ds.yr2<-ds[ds$STUDY_STAGE=="Yr 2",]
cor(ds.yr2$GPA, ds.yr2$OLAGG)
[1] -0.2905399

Full data is available here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64487083/R/mydata.csv
Question:
How can I find the correlation for all the 3 different study_stage?
Thank you all for your time and effort!

A: By using ds$GPA and ds$OLAGG, we are calculating the cor of the whole columns instead of by groups.
 ds <- read.csv("mydata.csv") #full data from the link

 cor(ds$GPA, ds$OLAGG, method='spearman')
 #[1] -0.2805924

ddply(ds,.(STUDY_STAGE), summarise, Cor=cor(GPA, OLAGG, method = "spearman"))
#    STUDY_STAGE        Cor
#1        Yr 1 -0.3337192
#2        Yr 2 -0.2803793
#3        Yr 3 -0.2090219

cor(ds.yr1$GPA, ds.yr1$OLAGG, method='spearman')

Unter Verfeinerung versteht man in der Informatik ein Verfahren, bei dem aus einer abstrakten Beschreibung (z. B. Registermaschine, formale Spezifikation mittels Z-Notation) eine konkretere Beschreibung abgeleitet wird. Eine Verfeinerung erhält dabei in der konkreten Beschreibung (bestimmte) Eigenschaften der abstrakten Beschreibung.

Verfeinerung bei Registermaschinen

Unter der Verfeinerung versteht man in der theoretischen Informatik ein Verfahren, aus verallgemeinerten Registermaschinen korrekte, einfache Registermaschinen zu konstruieren.

Einfache Registermaschine

Die einfache Registermaschine kennt nur die Befehle

,

und den Test

,

wobei

die arithmetische Differenz ist.

Durch diese Definition der Subtraktion erreicht man, dass man innerhalb der natürlichen Zahlen bleibt.

Registermaschinen für weitere Funktionen

Hat man nun eine Registermaschine geschrieben, die in der Lage ist, beispielsweise zwei Zahlen a und b zu addieren, dann kann man künftig in jeder Registermaschine unmittelbar zwei Register addieren: Man könnte an stelle dieser unmittelbaren Addition auch die Registermaschine für die Addition zweier Zahlen a und b einsetzen.

Diesen Schritt nennt man Verfeinerung.

Eine Registermaschine, die noch verfeinert werden muss, nennt man verallgemeinerte Registermaschine.

Bedeutung

Durch die Verfeinerung wird es einfacher, zu einer Funktion eine übersichtliche, lesbare und kurze Registermaschine anzugeben. Ein Beispiel zeigt der Beweis der Berechenbarkeit der Cantorschen Paarungsfunktion.

Secure personal loans have a history dating back to centuries before the advent of modern banks and financial institutions. Even in antiquity, borrowers could have made money when the lender was entitled to certain assets. Although a major change is visible in lending policy today, the collateral of secured private loans does not see a decline. Although homeowners are able to take unsecured personal loans, a majority of the group prefers to have secured loans.
More frustration to losing homes through readmission fails to motivate borrowers to change loyalties. At least borrowers who have been regular in credit transactions or have no more than one or two incidents of bad credit will not pay for unsecured loans. Unsecured loans or unsecured personal loans do not claim direct debts on the borrower's home but compensate the risk at very high interest rates and the same strict conditions. Therefore, while the security of the home is ensured, the cost of borrowing up.
It is obvious that the cost of secured personal loans is less due to lower interest rates and less stringent terms. When the loan comes over for repayment, secured personal loans will be easier to pay due to lower costs.
The intention of loan providers who try to influence the borrowers' decision to take secured personal loans is often seen as failure. Lenders prefer secured personal loans because of the lower level of risk they place. People interpret this as lenders look at their home. Lenders are in no way interested in the retention of houses or any other asset held as collateral. Since repurchase, maintenance and liquidation made a significant cost to the lender, he would better let the borrower pay the loan himself. Only in the most extreme cases when the loan appears to be a bad debt, lenders commit to withdraw collateral.
Consequently, the fear of secured personal loans is misplaced.
Benefits of secured personal loans are many. The main among them is the treatment addressed to borrowers who choose secured personal loans. The companies that the secured personal borrowers enjoy is well-known. Because the fate of an asset of theirs is at stake through collateral, many borrowers would not step up to be irregular in repayments. Consequently, the risk of secured personal loans is lower. Collaboration in other words is the result of the reduction of the risk.
For example, the interest rate is the lowest in secured personal loans. Typical APR ranges from 6% to 25%. The interest rate on any other loan will be much higher. The asset pledged against collateral helps to determine the APR that the borrower has to pay. Residential and real estate properties determine the lowest APR. Cars and headlines for motor vehicles also provide a good rate, albeit higher than at home.
The security offered also determines the amount that can be obtained through secured personal loans. Home presents the safest bet for lenders. Thus, the maximum amount will be loaned to the home. As a rule, the largest amount is offered through secured personal loans. When secured personal loans are offered against home, it is equity that determines how much loan is offered. Thus, borrowers who plan to use the loan to major expansion head like debt consolidation, housing improvement and car purchases will benefit more through a secured personal loan.
Although the repayment options offered to borrowers of secured personal loans do not differ from what is available to borrowers without collateral, the repayment is a relatively evener trip for the former category of borrowers. Most lenders will make the terms of repayment flexible enough to suit the borrower. Some loan providers have installed experts to educate borrowers about the various options available to them for repayment of loans. The method used for the payment of loans will be proposed after having received proper knowledge about the borrowers' financial situation. A real study shows whether borrowers' finances will be able to support the repayment method and the loan itself.
Secure personal loans have some disadvantages. Correct decision and proper planning on secured personal loans, however, minimize the effects of these disadvantages.
