Brexit watch: What's it really like working as a trader in Dublin anyway?
by Paul Clarke 23 May 2016
While experienced traders in London are fearful of 'juniorisation' – or being replaced by cheaper 25-year-olds – those in Dublin are quietly hoping for an injection of new blood.
"I would say that the average age of traders in Dublin is 45," says one derivatives trader working in the Irish capital. "There are a lot of highly-experienced and qualified traders whose morale has been zapped over the past 10 years."
Despite all the bullish sentiments of expansion in Dublin from the likes of IDA Ireland – which claims 10,000 new finance jobs are on the way over the next four years (again) – traders in the Irish capital are hopeful that Brexit will bring some much-needed front office opportunities in a city dominated by the support functions of international banks.
"Turnover in trading roles in Ireland is incredibly low," agrees Paul Smyth, managing director of front office-focused headhunters Top Tier Recruitment in Dublin. "A lot of the bigger firms tend to hire people as graduates and they stick around, simply because there are not a lot of other options."
There are those touting Dublin as the obvious choice for big investment banks seeking to relocate their trading floors in the event of a Brexit. Credit Suisse has moved 40 traders from London to Ireland, but these roles are restricted to prime services. And Citadel Securities is planning a new Dublin office in 2017, which will house around 12 people across trading, programming, quants and support.
SIG Susquehanna, an options trading firm, is one of the biggest employers of traders in Dublin – it has 350 staff across all functions - and then there are the high frequency players like Virtu Financial and Geneva Trading. Asset managers Pioneer, Mediolanum and Fideuram all employ execution traders and portfolio managers. Local banks like Bank of Ireland and AIB still have their capital markets functions.
"The local banks banned bonuses in 2010, but still no one really moved," says the trader. "Traders have really suffered because of this, along with the lack of other opportunities for them to move into."
Junior traders in Ireland typically earn base salaries of €40-50k (£31-38.5k, $45-56k), which rises to €60-70k after five years, says Smyth. More experienced traders can earn salaries of €80k+. The derivative and HFT firms usually pay 'multiples of salary' in bonus, he says, but domestic banks pay little in variable compensation
"Work-life balance is a lot better in Ireland," adds another trader who moved from Dublin to Ireland in 2010. "Lower wages means firms can afford to employ more staff to do the work."
Why Dublin could benefit from a Brexit
Dublin has an English-speaking workforce in the same time zone as London, but is a decidedly cheaper place to do business. As well as the financial services expertise, the wave of tech firms setting up in Ireland in recent years means a highly-skilled pool of programming talent is available for any bank that decides to shift its trading floor to the Irish capital.
And then there are rumours - lots of rumours - that Credit Suisse's move is the start of bigger things. "A lot of banks are in talks with the regulators about moving front office people to Dublin," says one headhunter speaking on the condition of anonymity. "The stumbling block is often the requirement to hire from the local workforce."
Standard Chartered and Royal Bank of Scotland are reportedly in talks with the Irish government about relocating both traders and support staff. Citigroup has moved its retail headquarters to Ireland and has bulked up its already sizable office in Dublin as a result. Brexit could prove the tipping point.
"We're speaking to a lot of Irish expat traders who are nervous about a Brexit and want to find out about opportunities back home," says Smyth. "This is the big trend in 2016 and means that a lot of trading firms can cherry-pick the best talent."
"The trend of firms relocating to Dublin will continue regardless of a Brexit," says the London-based trader. "This will lead to more opportunities."
"There are some highly-profitable traders receiving no bonus," adds the derivatives trader. "The hope is that Brexit will provide some new jobs and Ireland's traders can show what they really have to offer."
Even so, there are some practical considerations. There's a shortage of office space in Dublin, which has led IDA Ireland to start developing some "advanced office facilities" outside of the city. Moving from Canary Wharf to the outskirts of Dublin might be a step too far for a lot of traders. What's more, pro-Brexit campaigners are now arguing that leaving the EU could create 200,000 jobs in the City of London.

Advancing Interdisciplinary Self-Injurious Behavior/Nonsuicidal Self Injury Research
Congratulations to Caroline Roberts, a PhD student and graduate research assistant in the Department of Educational Psychology, who has been awarded an Interdisciplinary Doctoral Fellowship for the 2022-23 academic year.
"It's a dream come true to get to work at a place like MIDB and to learn from such inspiring experts on a topic with deep personal meaning for me," said Roberts, who is also a graduate of the Minnesota Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (MNLEND) Program.
Roberts plans to use the fellowship to facilitate knowledge translation between the fields of special education and psychiatry related to the issue of self-harm.
"In individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities this is called self-injurious behavior (SIB) and in psychiatry it is referred to as nonsuicidal self injury (NSSI). Rarely, if ever, have the fields of special education (my major), family social science (my minor) and psychiatry (my IDF mentor) engaged in interdisciplinary research and knowledge generation related to SIB/IDD and NSSI," she said.
In leveraging the fellowship, Roberts plans to advance an interdisciplinary SIB-NSSI program of research informed through family systems theory to elucidate common properties underlying pathways to care, beginning with focus groups with providers involved in care for both SIB and NSSI and building upon existing interviews with family caregivers.
"I understand the importance of this research firsthand, as I am not just a researcher of SIB, but also a family caregiver. My brother has IDD and has struggled with self-injury since he was three," said Roberts. "My personal experience as a sister motivates me and provides me with a deep understanding of the impact of this issue from one family's perspective. Through the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Fellowship, I am excited to gain an understanding of the perspective of psychiatry in order to continue to develop a depth of knowledge that I hope can contribute to solutions for families like mine over the long-term."

HIST 92.04 Partition in South Asia
In the years leading to 1947, nationalist activism against the British and tensions between Hindus and Muslims escalated in the Indian subcontinent. This culminated in Partition and the emergence of the nations of India and Pakistan. Independence was marred, however, by the bloodshed accompanying the mass movements of Muslims into Pakistan and Hindus into India. What were the factors leading to this juxtaposition of triumphal Independence with shameful Partition? What were the implications of Partition for ordinary people? How have memories of Partition continued to affect powerful politics and culture in the subcontinent? This seminar investigates such questions using a wide variety of materials including films, memoirs, fiction and scholarly works. This course follows recent scholarship in focusing on the long-term implications of Partition for the subcontinent. Hence, while we certainly will investigate the events leading up to Partition, our emphasis will be on understanding the effect of Partition on the lives of ordinary people during and after.

Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church
A Member Of The
Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod
Lent, Easter & Ascension
Therefore, since we have now been justified by his (Jesus') blood, it is even more certain that we will be saved from God's wrath through him. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, it is even more certain that, since we have been reconciled, we will be saved by his life. And not only is this so, but we also go on rejoicing confidently in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received this reconciliation.
(Romans 5:9-11)
Solo Christo! (In Christ Alone!) This Latin phrase is one of four Solas Latin phrases that sum up the heart and soul of our faith and lives. Sola Scriptura (by Scriptures alone), Sola Fide (by faith alone), and Sola Gratia (by Grace alone) are the other three. However, the other three are meaningless without Christ! As winter is dwindling down and spring is approaching we enter the Lenten church season. This is a wonderful time for us to slow down with an already busy year and refocus on Solo Christo!
During the upcoming months at Salem, we will be focusing on Jesus Christ's passion alone, death alone, resurrection alone, and ascension alone. Christ alone lived the perfect life we could not live. He did this in our place even though we are by nature enemies of God. There is nothing God pleasing in us apart from Jesus. Christ alone then took up the cross. He suffered the death we deserved. Three days later, Christ alone rose victorious bestowing on us life and salvation. Forty days later, Christ alone ascended back into heaven guaranteeing His work for us all. All thanks and praise to Christ Alone. We no longer have to live in fear or doubt wondering what will happen after we die. Our sins are forgiven and heaven is our home. Solo Christo!
Salem is offering several additional worship opportunities to allow us the opportunity to focus on Christ's passion alone, Christ's death alone, Christ's resurrection alone, and Christ's ascension alone. Starting with Ash Wednesday on February 22, 2022 and ending on March 29, 2022, Salem will have Lenten Midweek Services on Wednesdays starting at 6:30 pm. On April 6, 2022 and April 7, 2022 we will celebrate Maunday Thursday and Good Friday with worship at 6:30 pm both evenings. On Easter Sunday, April 9, Salem is celebrating with a special sunrise service at 6:30 am, a special Easter Breakfast at 8:00 am, and another service at 9:00 am. For Ascension on Thursday, May 18, 2022, Salem will have another special worship service at 6:30 pm. These are offered in addition to regular Sunday Worship at 9:00 am.
Martin Chemnitz Play At Salem
Dwight Johnson will be performing his one man play of Martin Chemnitz, Verbum Domini Manet in Aeternum (The Word of the Lord remains forever), at a date to be determined early in 2023 here at Salem. Pastor Chemnitz took part in the central movement that brought agreement among German Lutherans in the writing and publication of the Formula of Concord, of which he was one of the primary authors. Mark your calendars for May 21 and set aside an evening for an enjoyable portrayal of the Second Martin .
Salem's 50th Anniversary
Great Is God's Faithfulness, Celebrating 50 Years.
Salem Church 1975
In 2023 Salem Ev. Lutheran Church celebrates as a congregation of believers who have been blessed by God's grace to carry out his ministry for the past 50 years. We are planning on two very special services with potluck dinners. Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 21, at 9am, and Sunday, October 15, at 9am. Our anniversary theme will be Great Is God's Faithfulness, Celebrating 50 Years. This is based on the Scripture passages of Psalm 89:1-2, as well as Hymn 602, Great Is Thy Faithfulness.
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever.
With my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.
Yes, I have said, Your mercy is built to last forever.
In the heavens you establish your faithfulness.
(Psalm 89:1-2)
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
there is no shadow of turning with thee.
Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
as thou hast been, thou forever wilt be.
Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
all I have needed thy hand hath provided.
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
(Hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness verse 1)
More information will be forthcoming!

Q: Finding a bound for the maximum function the following problem says:
Show that if is f an integrable function in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and not identically null, then $$f^*(x)\geq\frac{c}{|x|^d}$$ where $c>0$, $|x|\geq 1$ and $f^*(x)=\sup_{x\in B}\frac{1}{m(B)}\int_B|f(y)|dy$. Conclude that $f^*$ is not integrable.
I've found the bound $c=\frac{1}{m(B)}|\int_B f(y)dy|$, it's ok?

A: You did not say what $B$ is. As long as $f$ is not identically zero there exists some $R > 0$ with the property that $$\int_{B(0,R)} |f(y)| \, dy > 0.$$ If $x \in \mathbb R^d$ then $B(0,R) \subset B(x,|x|+R)$ so that
$$
\int_{B(x,|x|+R)} |f(y)| \, dy \ge \int_{B(0,R)} |f(y)| \, dy
$$
and in particular
$$
f^*(x) \ge \frac1{m(B(x,|x| + R))} \int_{B(0,R)} |f(y)| \, dy = \frac1{\alpha(d)(|x|+R)^d}\int_{B(0,R)} |f(y)| \, dy.$$
Since $|x|/(|x| + R) \ge 1/(1+R)$ whenever $R > 0$ and $|x| \ge 1$ you get
$$
f^*(x) \ge \frac{1}{\alpha(d) (1+R)^d |x|^d} \int_{B(0,R)} |f(y)| \, dy,\ |x| \ge 1.$$

Q: ReCaptcha Google data-callback with angularJs I have implemented google Captcha in my angularjsApp.
I have this HTML

And in my controller I have:
$scope.enableBtn = function(){
   $scope.captchaSigned = true;
};
$scope.key = "xyz";

But not working and in my console return :
ReCAPTCHA couldn't find user-provided function: enableBtn()

How can I make a data-callback with Angularjs?

A: In your html put :

And in your controller, put :
var enableBtn = function(){
   $scope.captchaSigned = true;
};
$scope.key = "xyz";
window.enableBtn = enableBtn;

This should work as it will bind the function in controller.

A: I have resolved with this library https://github.com/VividCortex/angular-recaptcha

A: instead of $scope.enableBtn = function(){ define your function as window.enableBtn = function(){
Ensure you use data-callback="enableBtn" and NOT data-callback="enableBtn()"

A: In Controller :
window.wrongCaptchaResponse = true;
window.recaptchaResponse = function(key) {
    window.wrongCaptchaResponse = false;
};

In HTML page:
<button type="submit" ng-disabled="loginForm.$invalid || wrongCaptchaResponse">Login</button>

A: You can initialize recaptcha in your angular controller. eg.
inside your controller add this on a button click or initialize or timeout if you need it on page load. :

function showRecaptcha(){
 if(typeof grecaptcha !='undefined'){
  grecaptcha.render('register-recaptcha', {
           'sitekey' : 'your_site_key',
           'callback' : recaptchaCallback,
         });
 }
}

function recaptchaCallback(resp){
 console.log(11,resp);
}


Chaos broke out yesterday at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations headquarters along Kiambu Road when police clashed with members of the troubled Ekeza Sacco Society and Gakuyo Real Estate.
Hundreds of Ekeza Sacco and Gakuyo members had thronged the DCI to register their complaint against the sacco and the land-buying company.
This followed an invite by the DCI last week, who in a notice, invited people living in Nairobi and Kiambu counties with fraud complaints against Gakuyo Real Estate, Ekeza Sacco and Gakuyo Investment Club to report to the offices yesterday.
The three organisations are linked to David Kariuki Ngari alias Gakuyo who is currently embroiled in a Sh1.5 billion Ekeza sacco scandal.
Hell, however, broke loose after members, irked by the directive, protested by barricading the busy Nairobi-Kiambu road with boulders, causing a huge traffic snarl-up.
Police had to lob teargas canisters to disperse the rioters.
"This is very unfair that they are now telling us to go back home even after closing our businesses and leaving our jobs to come and record our statements. We feel wasted," said Lucy Wambui a member at Ekeza Sacco.
The angry members faulted the DCI for inviting them to come and register their complaints when they knew they did not have the capacity to accommodate huge numbers.
"We came armed with all the necessary documents just as they had requested, and now we are being told that the people from Nairobi should come another day to record statements, this is unfair," she said.
They called on Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i to intervene, claiming they had lost faith in DCI.
By the time the chaos broke out, a good number had already registered their complaints about the three outfits owned by Gakuyo.
Armed police were deployed to the scene and dispersed the crowd before they removed boulders that had been left on the road.

Difficult child? What to do?
by Marina Fuentes
My son is the "black sheep" of the family. How many times have we heard that? Parents should know how to manage their expectations when their child has different tastes and a strong personality, says Marina Fuentes.
It is not a question of entering into conflict, it is more a game to see where interests can meet and without tension.
Since he was small, Fabio Muniz has liked everything that has to do with sport. He plays football, tennis and squash. When his son Alvaro was born, the natural thought of the father was "a fellow to play ball with." Seven years later, the reality is quite different from his expectations. Alvaro does not care about any sports, and what he truly enjoys is playing Lego and video games.
Given the preference of the child, Fabio tries to fit in with the building blocks. A frustration for many parents has become a new reality for Fabio. But this is not always the case.
For the psychologist, Rosane Mantilla de Souza, a psychology professor at the Center for Family, PUC-SP, it is common for parents to project their wills on their children. "When you 'build' a child, there are a lot of expectations. Some in the sense that he or she turns out like you, others to be entirely different."
Although the mention of the baby's future profession might be viewed as a joke, a concrete plan will be realized. And it must be measured. "While the expectation is normal, you must realize the reality of the child," says Rosane. "In a typical case: if the father always dreamed of playing classical piano and buys a grand piano for a five year old child, okay help the child to take some lessons and encourage them. But making the child practise after months of resistance - and tears - this goes beyond the limit."
Parents who insist on their own preferences and expectations to the detriment of their children can even influence them in the choice of their profession. Many children try to follow the career of the family as a way to please parents or be like them. Others choose alternative routes, but only after trying to adjust.
Fashion designer, Camilla Sales, 30, comes from a family of lawyers and it took a while to find her vocation. "My father and my grandfather wanted me to be a lawyer. I tried: I worked with my father for two years until one day I called him to lunch and said I was not happy and would like to study fashion. He was sure that I would perform as a lawyer professionally," she says.
According to psychologist and psycho-therapist, Cecilia Maria Nascimento, a professor of psychology, often "being different" is just a way of seeking attention from parents.
"Realizing that he or she will not be able to look the way the parents want, many children go to another extreme," she explains. A child who does well in school, but is unable to be first class, can become a bad student. "I always suggest minimizing the comments when the difference is negative, as in the case of school grades or marks. Talking is only one way to reinforce behavior," she recommends.
Even though this is natural behavior, you need to differentiate what is a call for attention and what is a behaviour disorder. Aggressive or repetitive patterns of lying may have another source and deserve special attention, with the help of a professional.

You've likely heard of a crown, a porcelain tooth-shaped implement used in dental restorations. But if you don't have a crown yourself, you may not know when or why they're recommended. Dr. George Zatarain, your general dentist in Reno, Nevada, often uses crowns to help his patients at Z Dentistry achieve optimal dental health. Read below to learn of a few of the instances in which his practice implements crowns.
Although most cavities can be repaired with a filling, some can be invasive enough that a filling could put the entire tooth at risk for breakage. When this happens, Dr. Zatarain, your Reno general dentist, may file your tooth down and place a crown on top of it. This rids the tooth of the decay while ensuring that the remaining tooth structure, including the roots, stays intact and healthy.
After many years of use, an old filling in one or more of your teeth may begin to wear down. In some cases, they may even dislodge from the tooth they're in. To keep more decay from forming, your Reno general dentist may remove the damaged filling and replace it with a crown. This is often because the tooth's enamel has worn down as well and may not be able to support another filling properly. A crown will keep the treated tooth protected and looking great for many years to come.
Crowns are often used as the "finishing touch" after a dental procedure. Root canals, for example, need a crown on top to strengthen the affected tooth given that the inner structure is removed to eliminate infection. The crown is the only part of a dental implant that shows when you smile, so it's a very important component in this restoration. All of the porcelain crowns that Reno dentist uses are carefully crafted to look just like a natural tooth.
If you think one or more of your teeth could benefit from a crown, contact Z Dentistry in Reno, Nevada, today to schedule an appointment with general dentist George Zatarain: (775) 331-1616.

The Gulf diplomatic dispute and construction claims - extensions of time
As Qatar continues its progresses towards the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the development strategy for the 2030 National Vision, the current diplomatic dispute occurring in the Gulf is impacting on many parties involved in construction projects occurring throughout the nation.
The question concerning many of these parties, whether consultants, contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers or employers, relates to claims and what relief, if any, the parties are entitled to under their respective contracts.
In this article, we will look at the Contractor's right to an extension of time under the FIDIC suite of contracts where that extension of time has been caused by the late supply of goods being shipped to Qatar through the UAE.¹ Following the commencement of the diplomatic dispute, many Contractors have suffered delayed as a result of goods having to be shipped from the UAE to Oman before they could be transferred to a vessel that would deliver the goods onward to Qatar.
Clause 8.4(d) of the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction 1999 (Red Book) and FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Plant and Design Build 1999 (Yellow Book) provides as follows:
The Contractor shall be entitled subject to Sub-Clause 20.1 [Contractor's Claims] to an extension of the Time for Completion if and to the extent that completion for the purposes of Sub- Clause 10.1 [Taking Over the Works and Sections] is or will be delayed by any of the following causes:
(d) Unforeseeable shortages in the availability of personnel or Goods caused by epidemic or governmental actions"
On its face, it would certainly appear appropriate to deem the embargo against the shipping of goods from the UAE to Qatar as a government action, however to be sure that it is applicable, there are a few items to consider more carefully.
Firstly, is there a shortage in the 'availability' of Goods? This is not immediately definitive, as the goods are available and it is only the fact that the delivery route to get them to Qatar is now much slower than originally planned. Although the meaning of 'available' is not defined, it would however be reasonable to argue that the goods would only be deemed to be 'available' when they are able to be in the possession of the Contractor. Although the goods are literally 'available' somewhere in the world, the fact that they cannot be utilized by the Contractor for the purpose of the works is arguably the intent of the clause. Either way, if the Contractor is going to suffer a delay by procuring the Goods from another source, or waiting for them to be delivered through an alternative route the Contractor is being prevented from utilizing the goods.
Secondly, we can consider if the actions of the UAE government were "Unforeseeable", which is defined in the FIDIC suite as being "not reasonably foreseeable by an experienced contractor by the date for submission of the Tender".
Although foreign policy experts may have been able to foresee such dispute, it appears that very few anticipated the types of prohibitions that have been levied. It could therefore only be reasonable to deem such knowledge or foresight to be well out of the realm of even an 'experienced' Contractor.
Finally, it is important to consider what was known at the 'Tender Date'. Even if a tender is submitted after the commencement of the diplomatic dispute, the parties may have expected the matter to have been resolved quite quickly.
It is safe to say that Contractors who did not account for these delays in tenders submitted after the commencement of the diplomatic dispute will have a more difficult case to make that such delays were 'Unforeseeable'. However, this will depend greatly on the timing and specific circumstances of each case, and as a result, there may be a genuine case here for many Contractors who were delayed and denied an extension of time.
It is noted that the Conditions of Contract for EPC/Turnkey Projects 1999, (Silver Book) does not include an equivalent provision to clause 8.4(d) of the Yellow and Red Books. The Contractor therefore needs to look further into the terms to consider if any other sub-clause of the Silver Book gives the Contractor an entitlement to an extension of time.
Firstly, Contractors may expect clause 13.7 [Adjustment for Changes in Legislation] to provide some relief. However, this clause only relates to the "Laws of the Country". Assuming the law of the country is Qatar then a change of laws in the UAE that prohibits a ship from travelling directly from the UAE to Qatar will not be relevant.
The Contractor may also consider Sub- Clause 17.4 [Consequences of Employer's Risks]. However it is submitted that this sub-clause would likely fail on two key aspects. The diplomatic dispute does not directly fall within any of the items listed in 17.3. In addition, the delay of shipping goods would not amount to "loss or damage to the Works".
Finally, the Contractor's may look to the application of clause 19 [Force Majeure]². This may, on balance, be the Contractor's best option. Unlike clause 8.4(d) of the Yellow and Red Books, Sub-Clause 19.1 does not include any direct reference to 'government actions'. However, as the list of circumstances is 'not limited' to the items listed in 19.1(i)-(v), Force Majeure will apply if the Contractor can show that it was "prevented from performing any of his obligations under the Contract" by an exceptional circumstance that:
(a) was beyond the Contractor's control;
(b) was unforeseeable³ before entering into the Contract;
(c) could not have been reasonably avoided or overcome; and
(d) is not attributable to either party.
This is a more difficult claim and has more hurdles to clear than clause 8.4(d) of the Yellow and Red Books. Each element noted above will need to be considered and addressed by the parties, particularly (b) where the critical date is the 'date of the Contract' rather than the 'date of the Tender', and (c) where the Contractor will need to justify why such goods could not be procured from another source who could deliver them directly to Qatar.
If the scenario is deemed to be an event of Force Majeure then the Contractor will be entitled to an extension of time under clause 19.4(b) [Consequences of Force Majeure] (and by extension 8.4(b)) if:
(a) the Contractor has complied Sub- Clause 19.2 [Notice of Force Majeure]
(b) the Contractor has suffered a delay as a consequence of the Force Majeure event.
In conclusion, there may be more than one way for Contractors impacted by the diplomatic dispute to claim an extension of time under FIDIC Contracts, or indeed contracts based on such principals and risk allocation. It is therefore important that these options are considered and analyzed as early as possible and all necessary notices are issued in accordance with the Contract in order to protect this entitlement to the extent possible. Failure to do so may limit the Contractor's likelihood of success in obtaining such relief and consequently result in exposure to delay damages.
¹The Economist (Print edition – Middle East and Africa) reported on 19 October 2017, that prior to the diplomatic dispute, the port located in Jebel Ali of the UAE handled more than 85% of shipborne cargo destined for Qatar.
²This clause applies to the FIDIC Suite and is not only limited to the Silver Book.
³Note that this is not a reference to the term defined in the Contract.

"Correlation between electrical and magnetic properties of phase-separated manganites studied with a general effective medium model"
We have performed electrical resistivity and DC magnetization measurements as a function of temperature, on polycrystalline samples of phase-separated La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 (y=0.3). We have used the general effective medium theory to obtain theoretical resistivity vs. temperature curves corresponding to different fixed ferromagnetic (FM) volume fraction values, assuming that the sample is a mixture of typical metallic-like and insulating manganites. By comparing this data with our experimental resistivity curves we have obtained the relative FM volume fraction of our sample as a function of temperature. This result matches with the corresponding magnetization data in excellent agreement, showing that a mixed-phase scenario is the key element to explain both the magnetic and transport properties in the present compound.

What is the use of all microfibre details?
Each individual strand has a star-like structure and all strands are virtually identical across the entire surface of a towel. If you could pull a fiber from one towel, and another from a different towel of similar quality and cross section them you'd likely not be able to tell them apart. This leads to a uniformly soft towel that performs the same regardless of fold or what portion is in contact with the surface. This is in stark contrast to the wild inconsistency of cotton fibers which can vary in shape and size from one strand to the next.
The star shaped structure on each strand allow microfiber to trap small particles, dirt, moisture and debris making them very effective for cleaning. Compared to the inconsistent, tube-like, shape of cotton which is absorbent, but not ideal for cleaning microfiber has a clear advantage.

READ The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Obsession, Commerce, and Adventure (2008) Online Free. ReadOnlineNovel.com - Free Reading Epub, Pdf.
About book: Obsession is right... even the writing rushes forward obsessively. It's almost like watching an Indiana Jones movie; the frantic pace never lets up. Gollner includes some howlingly inaccurate science but, after a while, I realized he was just laying out every bizarre notion that folks have about fruit. He doesn't criticize, correct, or comment upon them (even if he knows them to be nonsense), he just serves them up. It's a lot easier to swallow if sprinkled with that proverbial grain of salt. Sometimes when browsing the cookbook section at my local library, I come across a food related book that is neither cookbook or food exposé. The Fruit Hunters is a fascinating tour around the world that teaches in a very entertaining way how the fruit we buy at the market became to be what it is.If you like food, agriculture, or travel this is a great book to read as it weaves all three into a complex tapestry to give a clear picture of how that apple variety you like so much came into being. From apples to papayas and everything in between this book keeps you informed and entertained about the food you eat.I know my description is a little lacking but you should read it as I think you will enjoy it as much as I did !
He's not a good enough writer to make this book interesting.

According to TMZ, R. Kelly went to court today to request that his child support be lowered. His lawyer said that no change had been made though, but they are setting up a new court date to argue about it. Last week was Kels was in jail because he owed his ex-wife Andrea Kelly over $160,000 in back child support. He was supposed to give Drea $20,833 per month as of January 2009, but he obviously fell behind. Someone paid off the $160,000 for him so he could get our of jail. More to come, I'm sure!

By JOHN BURNETT Hawaii Tribune-Herald | Monday, May 21, 2018, 4:44 p.m.
U.S. Geological Survey photo A helicopter overflight of Kīlauea Volcano's Lower East Rift Zone this morning shows fountaining at fissure No. 22.
The chief of state Emergency Management agency, who's heading up the governor's and mayor's task force on Puna Geothermal Venture says he should know soon if efforts are successful to neutralize KS-14, the last "active" well at the lower Puna geothermal power plant.
"We have quenched 10 of 11 wells and we are pumping fluid to plug the last well as we speak," Tom Travis said during the afternoon media briefing on the Puna lava emergency. "Should have an idea whether or not that's successful tonight. Once that step is taken, we will be in a much more solid state for having lava overflow the site. This is important, because I think, as all of you know, lava is starting to intrude on the southern edge of Puna Geothermal Venture site. It's not easy to predict where it's going to go or when it's going to get there.
County Civil Defense said this morning lava from fissure No. 22, which is currently feeding the ocean entry near MacKenzie state park, is also going in the opposite direction toward the beleaguered geothermal plant, which has been shut down since the current lava emergency began on May 3. Officials said the lava had come to within 200 to 300 yards of PGV's well pad, but had been slowed or stopped by a berm. Officials said as of this afternoon, the lava hadn't advanced closer to the well pad.
Travis said "quenching the wells" means filling them with enough cold water so the weight of the water is more than the pressure from the volcanic steam below can overcome, effectively of cooling the well. He said once the well is neutralized, it can be capped with a mud-like substance that hardens or with a metal cap. Travis said metal well caps are either in Honolulu or Kona, and will be brought to the site for installation by tomorrow.
According to Travis, the other wells at the plant were responding to the infusion of water, but KS-14 remained hot despite the best efforts of the crew of about a half-dozen skilled workers. He said mud was now being pumped into KS-14 and expressed optimism that the work, if successful, would hold up if the well pad was overrun by lava, but said a worst-case scenario would involve a large release of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a colorless, highly flammable and toxic gas.
The hydrogen sulfide stench, which has a rotten-egg smell, prompted the evaucation of nearby residents and noise, which was described as like a jet airplane taking off, reached 90 decibels. One worker suffered a minor injury in the blowout.
Travis said no one has been injured in the current effort to cap the plant's geothermal wells.

SocDems won't be 'easy and obedient' coalition partners - Paluckas
The Social Democrats will no longer be "easy, accessible and obedient partners who have no priorities of their own" in the ruling coalition, Gintautas Paluckas, the newly-elected leader of the Social Democratic Party (LSDP), said on Tuesday.
Gintautas Paluckas
According to Paluckas, even though Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis says that he is not planning to meet with him in the near future, the head of government will be invited to a coalition meeting.
"In fact, I can understand the prime minister's frustration and tension, because the Social Democrats will no longer be such easy, accessible and obedient coalition partners who have no priorities of their own," Paluckas, who is deputy mayor of Vilnius, told reporters on Tuesday.
PM calls on new SocDem leader to 'return to reality'
Two Paluckas' conditions for the Farmers
"I understand that our goals or rhetoric will make the prime minister and the government work harder to deliver on the election promises, both ours and theirs, which may be somewhat frustrating. However, I believe we will sort out all these relations when we meet," he said.
Skvernelis said on LRT Radio earlier in the day that he did not plan to meet with Paluckas in the near future and called on the new LSDP leader "to return to reality".
Paluckas said, in turn, that he did intend to change the rhetoric, but stressed that a meeting between the leaders of the Farmers and Greens Union with their coalition partners was inevitable.
"Saulius Skvernelis is right. The rhetoric should be changed and we should invite Saulius Skvernelis to a coalition meeting, rather than going to him, because, after all, Saulius Skvernelis was appointed to his post by the coalition. Therefore, we will definitely change the rhetoric," the new Social Democratic leader said.

Formula One: Toro Rosso confirm Kvyat will partner Sainz in 2017
October 22, 2016 Jon Wilde - @jonnywilde	Leave a comment
Scuderia Toro Rosso have confirmed that it is keeping Daniil Kvyat on for the 2017 season. With Carlos Sainz's future in the team already assured since earlier this summer, it means that continuity is the name of the game.
In so doing the team have put an end to months of speculation around the future of Daniil Kvyat with the team and the Red Bull Driver programme. At this time the implications of the confirmation on GP2 championship challenger Pierre Gasly are unclear.
Daniil Kvyat: "Great news! I'd like to thank Red Bull, Dr. Marko and all the team for their support and the faith they have shown in me since I returned to the team earlier this year. I'm very happy to stay with a team that feels like home to me. I'm really looking forward to continuing the hard work together in 2017 and I'm really aiming high. I will always be fully dedicated, giving my '200%', and I will be pushing as hard as I usually do, that's for sure. I'm delighted!"
Carlos Sainz: "Considering how many changes there are in the Formula 1 pipeline for 2017, it's good to know that Daniil and I will continue to be teammates here at Toro Rosso next year. We know each other very well, as we've been racing together since 2010, and we work well together. I know that this season isn't over yet, but I'm already looking forward to next year!"
Franz Tost: "It makes a change to announce our driver line-up relatively early. There are so many new elements coming to Formula 1 in general and to our team specifically, in terms of the change of power unit supplier, that having the same two drivers gives us stability and a benchmark to work from. For Carlos, it will be his third year with us, which speaks volumes when it comes to how highly we rate him. In recent races, it has been clear that Daniil is back on top form. I always told him that his future with us was in his hands and he has stepped up to the mark and delivered the sort of performances that have ensured his 2017 seat in the STR 12. We now have a very talented and strong driver pairing to tackle a season in which we expect to be very competitive."

Formula One: Baku – Anyone's Race?
June 19, 2016 Jon Wilde - @jonnywilde	Leave a comment
Nico Rosberg may have claimed pole position for the inaugural Grand Prix of Europe from Baku, but the race for the top step is far from over.
The street circuit, featuring a 2,2km flat out section followed by the tightest series of corners on the F1 calender only a few moments later has proved to be a truly unique challenge for drivers and engineers. In the quest for ultimate top speed teams have been forced into a low downforce set up leaving cars on the absolute edge. This coupled with high pressured , hard compound tyres from Pirelli, alongside a number of niggling 1st race issues around the Baku venue gives us a thrilling Grand Prix in prospect.
The attrition rate seen in the GP2 feature race hinted at the spectacle we can expect in the F1 race. Overtaking is possible all over the circuit, T1 the most common. Run off zones whilst small are just about large enough for drivers to force competitors into them without risk of penalty. All in all, the F1 race really could be anyone's. Judging by the GP2 race pole position or running in first place could actually work against a driver, expect oval racing levels of slipstreaming and overtaking along the main straight.
With this in mind bookmakers have been surprisingly generous in the odds being offered on drivers in the top ten. It's hard to pick out one specific driver to follow for the race, so I'm suggesting 5!
Lewis Hamilton -Dominated the weekend until a shocker in qualifying, starting 10th on the grid. He is in the fastest car and Mercedes have introduced a low downforce wing which should mitigate the issues the team have had running in traffic in earlier races this season. Winner odds 3/1
Sergio Perez – Second only to Nico Rosberg in qualifying. A gearbox penalty drops him to 7th on the grid, but after a podium in Monaco, and rumours of Ferrari considering him for 2017, Perez will be eager to impress. A great offering of 40/1 – consider an each way bet
Kimi Raikkonen – Yes Vettel out-qualified him, but he has been quietly doing his thing around Baku, and has engaged reverse far fewer times than his competitors this weekend. Also offering at 40/1
Max Verstappen / Carlos Saniz – How bold are you feeling? If Baku is to be a race of attrition, which may expect it will be. Max showed the world in Canada how calm he can be under pressure, at 80/1 the return could be great! More out there, but an even greater opportunity, Sainz. Arguably driver of the day in the last few races. With a new contract under his belt Saniz could be a great outside bet and a huge pay day at 500/1! Are you feeling bold?

Formula One: Carlos vs. Max STR factory sprint challenge
April 26, 2016 Jon Wilde - @jonnywilde	1 Comment
The toughest STR challenge so far? Did Max take a short cut….???
STR Russian GP Preview:
Max: "The first thing I remember from Russia is my good qualifying! It's always good to start the race from the highest spot possible and starting P9 in Russia meant already being in the point's positions…
Even though we unfortunately didn't have a good start in the race: I arrived to Turn 1 and Hulkenberg spun in front of me, we collided in Turn 2 and I had a puncture. It wasn't great, as I had damage on the car and it all got very tricky but I still tried to do my best. The track itself has many 90 degree corners, so it's difficult to find the right line. Turns 13 to 16 are a complicated section of the track, as they are all slow-speed corners and if you get the positioning right you can gain a lot of lap-time there. My favourite part of the track is Turn 3 because it's flat out and goes past all the Olympic flags, which you can see when you arrive to Turn 2.After a strong race in China , I hope for another good result in Sochi"
Carlos: "When racing in Sochi, at the start of the lap there's a lot of slipstream, so it's possible to arrive to Turn 2 with four cars side by side…
One thing I don't like, especially here at this second corner, is the wide tarmac run-off areas, where a lot of cars just run wide instead of committing to the corner. Turn 3 is a very nice corner which is flat or very close to it"
I remember that Turn 4 is a good overtaking spot. After that there are four consecutive 90 degree corners before arriving to the back straight. Turn 13 is another good place for overtaking, but what this part of the circuit brings to mind is my terrible crash from last year – I'd say the biggest of my career so far. The final part of the circuit consists of another four 90 degree corners. The walls are also pretty close throughout the lap, which makes it a bit more of a challenge.
Last year's race was quite exciting so I hope for another one like that and tobe able to continue scoring points"

Formula One: Wings for Life brings Max and Carlos together
A week prior to second Grand Prix of the season, Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz made time for an important cause: Wings for Life. Both Scuderia Toro Rosso drivers were filmed in the Netherlands for the running contest, which will be held in 33 countries on 8 May. In a relaxed and friendly manner, both team mates were up against each other.
Max and Carlos will not run themselves but are enlisted to drive the so-called "Catcher Car", effectively a moving finish line. They will set off half an hour after the start and will "sweep" up contestants along the way. Whoever is caught, is out of the race. Across the planet, all contestants will start at the same time, regardless if it is day or night. The last contestant running will be the winner.
On Friday, Max and Carlos were trained and instructed by Colin Jackson, the hurdling triple world champion and sporting director of the Wings for Life World Run. The F1 aces have adhere to the speed limit which starts at 15km/h. Not an easy things for the young racers to do. Check the live snapchat recording on the RedBull account if you want to see how the boys did.

Formula One: Casio join Scuderia Toro Rosso
February 16, 2016 Jon Wilde - @jonnywilde	Leave a comment
Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today that it has signed a two-year agreement as an official partner of the Formula One team Scuderia Toro Rosso, beginning in January 2016. Casio will make the most of this relationship to actively promote its EDIFICE brand, which takes its inspiration from motorsports concepts.
Scuderia Toro Rosso is enjoying a surge of popularity with its lineup of up-and-coming drivers including Max Verstappen, already a force to be reckoned with at just 18 years of age. His teammate is the talented Carlos Sainz whose father is a former World Rally Championship title holder. The two hotly anticipated drivers will lead the charge for Scuderia Toro Rosso in the upcoming Formula One season.
Under the concept of "Speed and Intelligence," the EDIFICE brand evokes a sense of velocity and energy that is found in motorsports. These watches continue to evolve in how they utilize the latest electronics technology to deliver improved chronograph and world time functions. With their bold designs and varied functions, EDIFICE watches enjoy a strong following among motorsports enthusiasts.
Scuderia Toro Rosso brings its youthful energy and racing cars powered by outstanding technology innovations to the Formula One circuit, in the passionate pursuit of speed.

Prosecutor: Ex-Wayne councilman ordered fake drugs planted in employee's car
4 months ago rorykasel
Wayne — A former councilman for the city of Wayne faces charges in an alleged 2017 plot to entrap a city employee by planting fake drugs and a gun that shoots blanks in her vehicle, then orchestrating a traffic stop. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged the former councilman, Christopher Sanders, 51, with false report of a felony, conspiracy to commit false report of a felony, and attempted false report of a felony.
Sanders was arraigned at 35th District Court in Canton, and given a $10,000 personal bond, which would need to be paid only if he does not show up to court. Worthy alleges that on Oct. 16, 2017, Sanders paid a Detroit man named Crayontavious Lee Chandler, 28, to break into the vehicle of a city of Wayne employee and plant the starter gun and fake drugs in the vehicle. Then, allegedly, he followed the woman when she left the office. Prosecutors say he called 911 to report the woman's car as involved in a road rage incident that never took place.
It didn't work. Police never pulled the woman's vehicle over. The next 911 call came from the woman, reporting what appeared to be a gun and drugs in her glove box. Michigan State Police investigated the matter and, almost three years later, arrested both Sanders and Chandler. Chandler faces the same three felonies as Sanders, and was given a $1,000 personal bond at his arraignment. Both are due back in court on Oct. 2 for their probable cause conferences. Attempts to reach Sanders were not immediately successful.
In May 2018, voters recalled Sanders from his position on city council. In March 2006, Worthy charged Sanders with 12 felonies, including 10 counts of furnishing alcohol to minors. That July, he pleaded guilty to three counts: one of possessing a forged license and two counts of furnishing alcohol to minors. In September, he was sentenced to three years of probation and six months on tether supervision, Wayne Circuit Court records show. In June 2007, Sanders was brought in for a show cause hearing on a probation violation, and was given six months in the work-release program at Wayne County Jail. In October 2013, Sanders faced six felonies regarding alleged theft at a nonprofit: identity theft, embezzlement as a trusted agent, embezzlement from a nonprofit or charity, larceny by conversion, forgery, and uttering and publishing. He got all but the identity theft charge dismissed at an October 2014 court hearing, records show. The county's first attempt at a trial ended in a hung jury in February 2015, and the case was dismissed altogether at a May 2015 hearing.

Tech Startup of the Week: Classana, a Prerequisite for Lifetime Learning
Marcia Wade Talbert May 7, 2013 June 3, 2013 230
Will Lucas launched Classana to help lifelong learners accomplish their immediate and long term goals in and out of the classroom (Image: Classana)
In 2012, Will Lucas realized that college wasn't set up for you to 'pick and choose' classes, but it was set up for you to follow a prerequisite set of courses toward a degree.
At the time, he was running a tech startup full time, taking 16 classes at the University of Toledo in an effort to finish his degree. His mentor suggested that he start taking classes that speak directly to what he was doing to get gain better skills toward running his business.
"I began looking for classes in iOS development (programming for iPhone and iPad), and at the time my school didn't have a program for that sort of training. So, I began looking for a class with at least a similar skill-set," says Lucas, 32, who first launched Creadio , a service that streams live, customized radio and television programming along with social media messages in retail stores.
Daunting didn't even begin to describe the process it took to register for a class that wasn't in his specific program. That's when he got the idea for Classana, an online educational resource discovery engine that provides users with recommendations for the next steps in their education, career and interests based on a proprietary matching algorithm and machine learning.
Classana's resource recommendations are based on a user's stated interests, past life experiences, goals, behaviors and activities. This makes Classana different from traditional web browsing as it provides users with content from across the world that they may not have even known to search for on a traditional search engine like Google, Yahoo, or Bing.
Classana's implementation is three-fold. First, Classana partners with leaders in education (colleges and universities) and offers valued content creators (authors, publishers, event coordinators, among others) an opportunity to index their materials and offerings through the platform. Second, as they browse the web, anyone can add content to Classana's database by clicking an "add to Classana" button that can be added to web browsers as an add-on. Finally, Lucas' team has developed a proprietary web "crawl" system that scans the web for resources and inserts them into the Classana index.
After curating these resources, the website then provides users with recommendations to materials, classes and online courses, books, events, organizations and programs, among other resources that will benefit them in their education, career, and entrepreneurial goals.
Classana was accepted as a client in Rocket Ventures, a northwest Ohio-based venture capital firm, and with its help to redevelop Classana's business plan, the company received $25,000 from The State of Ohio's Edison Program to begin development. With that initial infusion, they launched in public beta in February 2013. They're in the process of raising their first round, but so far Lucas has developed partnerships to index resources at The University of Toledo and Pearson University, along with education resource websites like ck12.org, Treehouse, and Codecademy.
This week, Black Enterprise celebrates Classana as Tech Startup of the Week for developing a technology that will make education a life long journey and not a means to an end. Join Lucas and other EduTech Entrepreneurs at "Today's Business Crisis: Educating Tomorrow's Workforce," a symposium hosted by Black Enterprise in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to be held May 15, 2013.

Just before the end of last year Disney Performing Arts students received a fun surprise when Kevin "K.O." Olusola, the cello beatboxer for Pentatnoix, showed up for a guest appearance at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort.
The students from the Lewisburg Area High School Choir from Lewisburg, Pennsylvania were part of a Disney Sings musical workshop. Olusola showcased his beatboxing skills and took part in a "Q and A" with students.
During his visit Olusola told the students to "be extraordinary and uncommon."
Pentatonix won season three of The Sing-Off and won their first Grammy Award in February 2015 for Best Arrangement, Instrumental and A Capella. The band's YouTube channel has more than 7.8 million subscribers and the band has sold more than 2 million albums.
Are you a fan of Pentatonix? Let us know in the comments.


In a thrust to innovation in management education, the leading b-school, Asian School of Business Management organized one national level talent festival Ignite and marketing festival 'Markfest' on 16th & 17th December 2016. In his Welcome address Prof. Biswajeet Pattanayak, Founder & Director ASBM said this has been a platform to create next level business leaders and marketing genius. He said that an ignited mind can provide a lot of innovative ideas. This kind of occasion gives enormous opportunity to showcase the talents of the participants.
Guest of Eminence, Prof. Kamal Kanta Mishra, Vice Chancellor, Utkal University of Culture said that 65 percent of the population of India constitute young mass and they are the future of this country. He urged students to show light to the world with their intellect. Another Guest of Eminence, Prof. Siba Prasad Adhikary, Vice-Chancellor, FM University said that he had witnessed the growth of Indians during the last 25 years. India is a young country with young people and the future of India is bright.
Prizes were given away to all the winners of the all the competitions. This two day long National Talent Festival; Ignite and Markfest marked by 14 competitions viz. Ramp Show, Rangoli, Kaun Banega Baazigar, The hands of symphony, T-Sharts painting, Counter strike, Mono-acting, Voice of Ignite, Danza, Corporate Chanakya, Live Bazaar, Treasure Hunt, Rock Show and Face Painting. Students from various parts of the country actively participate in the event. The Live Bazzar, show case of marketing ideas was the centre of attraction. 'Markfest – Simulated Business Model Contest' and various other activities along with 'Live Concert 'electrified the minds of students. At the end, rock band rocked the show by playing memorable songs and enthralling the large crowd gathered to energise the event to its completion. The valedictory session vote of thanks proposed by Prof. Prakash Chandra Dash, Coordinator of the event. The festival was concluded amidst great fun and fervor.


This drawing was selected for the Wildlife Artist of the Year 2013 exhibition at the Mall Galleries and was used as the banner image for all the Mall Galleries social media during the show.
This picture now holds my record for the longest to complete. It was about 18 months from start to finish, although I did draw three or four other pictures in that time. I also found it difficult to decide on the position of the middle cheetah. My original idea was for it to be in the centre however after drawing the two outer cheetah's I thought it may be interesting to place the third cheetah next to the cheetah on the right leaving an obviously larger space to the left. Obviously in the end I stayed true to my original thoughts.
I wanted the viewer to know it was the same cheetah in three different positions, so I very obviously kept the tail the same for each cat, as everything else above changed to varying degrees. I hope a viewer see's a cheetah looking at things unknown; something close, something distant and finally straight out of the image toward you with a piercing stare.
I am extremely proud of this picture, and believe that my choice of not including a background in my drawings is correct. This image simply would not work in the way I planned if the wilds of Africa were shown. I wanted a sense of uncertainty in this drawing, despite the confidence of the central stare, and I believe the carefully selected white spaces within the image helped me achieve this.

Q: Powershell 'Get-Date' constant stop working I was using below code in one of my power-shell script and for some reason I have formatted my machine, Now I found that this isn't working in power-shell.
$dt = Get-Date 06-15-21
$dt

Now its throwing below error
Get-Date : Cannot bind parameter 'Date'. Cannot convert value "06-15-21" to type "System.DateTime". Error: "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."
At line:1 char:16
+ $dt = Get-Date 06-15-21
+                ~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-Date], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetDateCommand

A: While PowerShell is mostly culture-invariant, this doesn't apply to the parameters of binary cmdlets[1], unfortunately. That is, how a date string such as '06-15-21' is converted to a [datetime] instance by Get-Date depends on the current culture (as reflected in $PSCulture and [cultureinfo]::CurrentCulture) and is therefore not guaranteed to work the same on all machines.
By contrast, PowerShell's casts ([<type>]) are culture-invariant (they use the invariant culture), so Santiago Squarzon's solution is correct:
# Culture-invariant cast that works on all machines.
# The invariant culture is based on the US culture, and recognizes
# "MM-dd-yy" strings (month first).
[datetime] '06-15-21'

If you still need Get-Date, you can simply pass the result of the cast as the argument; e.g.:
Get-Date ([datetime] '06-15-21') -UFormat %s

Alternatively, as Olaf points out, you can bypass the culture-dependent string parsing by specifying your date unambiguously by its numerical components:
Get-Date -Month 6 -Day 15 -Year 2021

Note the need to specify the year in full (-Year 21 would result in the year 21 CE, not 2021).

To illustrate the original problem:
$origCulture = [cultureinfo]::CurrentCulture

# Try the Get-Date command first with the US English culture,
# then with the French culture in effect.
'en-US', 'fr-FR' | ForEach-Object {
  Write-Verbose -Verbose "In culture ${_}:"
  [cultureinfo]::CurrentCulture = $_
  Get-Date 06-15-21
}

[cultureinfo]::CurrentCulture = $origCulture

You'll see that with the US-English culture in effect ('en-US'), the date string is recognized, whereas with the French culture ('fr-FR') it is not, because in that culture the day of the month is expected to come first.

[1] By contrast, parameters of PowerShell functions and scripts are culture-invariant. This inconsistency is a known problem, which, however, will not get fixed, in the interest of backward-compatibility - see GitHub issue #3348.

A: I would suggest you to utilize ISO 8601 format, so that there are no issues with respect to system locale settings.
$dt = (Get-Date "2021-06-15")

She gave possession of 134 mg of the class B drug ketamine, a Sedative
Roger's mother, 24, was caught by the police last year
She did not plead for another charge to buy a car with criminal money
By Joel Adams for Mailonline
Released: 07:21 EDT, September 9, 2019 | Updated: 07:49 EDT, September 9, 2019
A mother of a child who appeared in the first season of Love Island could be sentenced to prison after appearing in court to allow possession of a Class B drug.
However, she made no objection to another charge – buying an Audi A3 car with £ 16,500 in criminal money.
24-year-old Bethany Rogers was in possession of 134 mg of Class B drug last year.
Rogers from Gomersal, Yoirkshire appeared on the show in 2015 but was unable to mate and was relegated to 11th place after just one week.
A child's mother pleaded guilty of possession, but made no objection to the use of criminal cash to buy a car
Roger's short career in reality television lasted only one week on Love Island in 2015 (above).
Rogers will appear at Bradford Crown Court next month to be sentenced and faces a possible prison sentence
