Q: Purely functional concurrent skip list Skip lists (Pugh, 1990) provide sorted dictionaries with logarithmic-time operations like search trees but skip lists are much more amenable to concurrent updates.
Is it possible to create an efficient purely functional concurrent skip list? If not, is it possible to create any kind of efficient purely functional concurrent sorted dictionary?

A: Not a skip list, but seems to match the problem description: Clojure's persistent red-black trees (see PersistentTreeMap.java). The source contains this notice:
/**
 * Persistent Red Black Tree
 * Note that instances of this class are constant values
 * i.e. add/remove etc return new values
 * <p/>
 * See Okasaki, Kahrs, Larsen et al
 */

These trees maintain the order of elements and are "persistent" in the sense in which Rich Hickey uses the word (immutable and able to maintain their performance guarantees as updated versions are constructed).
In case you want to play around with them, you can construct instances in Clojure code with the function sorted-map.

A: The property of skip lists that makes them good for concurrent updates (namely that most additions and subtractions are local) also makes them bad for immutability (namely that a lot of earlier items in the list point eventually to the later items, and would have to be changed).
Specifically, skip lists consist of structures that look like so:
NODE1 ---------------------> NODE2 ---------...
  |                           |
  V                           V
NODE1a --> NODE1b ---------> NODE2a --> NODE2b --> NODE2c --- ...

Now, if you have an update that, say, deletes NODE2b or NODE1b, you can take care of it very locally: you just point 2a to 2c or 1a to 2a respectively and you're done.  Unfortunately, because the leaf nodes all point one to another, it's not a good structure for a functional (immutable) update.
Thus, tree structures are better for immutability (as the damage is always locally limited--just the node you care about and its direct parents up through the root of the tree).
Concurrent updates don't work well with immutable data structures.  If you think about it, any functional solution has an update of A as f(A).  If you want two updates, one given by f and one given by g, you pretty much have to do f(g(A)) or g(f(A)), or you have to intercept the requests and create a new operation h = f,g that you can apply all in one go (or you have to do various other highly clever stuff).
However, concurrent reads work fantastically well with immutable data structures since you are guaranteed to have no state change.  If you don't assume that you can have a read/write loop that resolves before any other write can interrupt, then you never have to lock on read.
Thus, write-heavy data structures are probably better implemented mutably (and with something like a skip list where you only need to lock locally), while read-heavy data structures are probably better implemented immutably (where a tree is a more natural data structure).

A: If you only need to cons on the front of the skip list, then it should be possible to make a persistent immutable version.
The advantage of this kind of skip list would be "random" access. e.g. You could access the n'th element faster than you could in a regular single linked list.

A: Andrew McKinlay's solution is the real "true" functional solution for a real skip-list here, but it has a downside. You pay logarithmic time to access an element, but now mutation beyond the head element becomes hopeless. The answer you want is buried down in countless path-copies!
Can we do better?
Part of the problem there is that there are multiple paths from -infinity to your item.
But if you think through the algorithms for searching a skiplist, you never use that fact.
We can think of each node in the tree as having a preferred link, the top-most link to it from the left, which in some sense can be thought of as 'owning' that entry.
Now we can consider the notion of a 'finger' into a data structure, which is a functional technique that enables you to focus on one particular element, and supply a path back to the root.
Now we can start with a simple skip-list
-inf-------------------> 16
-inf ------> 8 --------> 16
-inf -> 4 -> 8 -> 12 --> 16

Expanding it by level:
-inf-------------------> 16
  |                       |
  v                       v
-inf ------> 8 --------> 16
  |          |            |
  v          v            v
-inf -> 4 -> 8 -> 12 --> 16

Strip out all but the preferred pointers:
-inf-------------------> 16
  |                       |
  v                       v
-inf ------> 8           16
  |          |            |
  v          v            v
-inf -> 4    8 -> 12     16

Then you could move a 'finger' to position 8 by tracking all the pointers you'd have to flip to get there.
-inf ------------------> 16
   ^                      |
   |                      v
-inf <------ 8           16
   |         |            |
   v         v            v
-inf -> 4    8 -> 12     16

From there it is possible to delete 8, pushing the finger somewhere else, and you can continue to navigate through the structure with the finger.
Looked at this way, we can see that the privileged paths in a skip list form a spanning tree!
Moving 1 step with the finger is an O(1) operation if you only have privileged pointers in the tree and use "skinny nodes" like this. If you used fat nodes, then finger movement left/right would be potentially more expensive.
All operations remain O(log n) and you can use a randomized skip-list structure or a deterministic one as usual.
That said, when we break the skiplist down into a notion of a preferred path then we get that a skip-list is just a tree with some redundant non-preferred links we don't need for insert/search/delete, such that the length of each of those paths from the upper right is O(log n) either with high probability or guaranteed depending on your update strategy.
Even without the finger you can maintain O(log n) expected time per insert/delete/update in a tree with this form.
Now, the key word in your question that doesn't make sense is "concurrent". A purely functional data structure doesn't have a notion of in-place mutation. You always produce a new thing. In some sense concurrent functional updates are easy. Everybody gets their own answer! They just can't see each others'.

The country's government has said that it will push forward with the proposed incentive.
Finland could finally have a film incentive in place by early 2017, as the proposed 25% cash rebate incentive is now one step closer to reality.
During the annual government workshop (called 'budjettiriihi') to balance the state budget, the Finnish government said it would push forward the proposed 25% cash rebate incentive model.
Now, that workshop's decisions need to be approved by Parliament to become law; the approval is widely expected to happen in the Parliamentary vote. The rebate could be in place in early 2017.
The cash rebate of 25% would apply to money spent on local goods, services and salaries in conjunction with production work carried out in Finland. Applicable productions include feature films, fiction series, documentary films and animations.
The incentive would be split from the budgets of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment together with the Ministry of Education and Culture. It would be administered by Tekes, the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation.
"The adoption of the incentive makes Finland a highly competitive candidate for shooting major international productions. Our beautiful and versatile landscape together with good infrastructure and skilled workforce is a combination that few others can match," added Olli Rehn, minister of economic affairs.
The incentive programme very closely follows the proposal put forward after a spring 2016 task force meeting of local industry established by the minister of culture.
If approved, the Finnish incentive will make the Nordic region even more competitive. Iceland has long had an attractive film incentive, recently bumped up to 25%; and Norway introduced its 25% incentive earlier in 2016, although it is capped and only backing two US productions this year: The Snowman and Downsizing.

Ellen Gannett, M.Ed. is serving on an Out-of-School Time (OST) Book Series Afterschool Advisory Group for Information Age Publishing, which will assist in developing parameters, including the purpose, scope, and structure of the series; the first two book themes; manuscript review protocols; and the advisory board's long-term communication and engagement. Gannett is also serving on the committee Defining and Measuring Character and Character Education: A Workshop, through the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education.
Georgia Hall, Ph.D. is serving on a planning committee to develop a public workshop highlighting summertime opportunities to improve child and adolescent education and health outcomes. Hall is sharing her expertise in the evaluation of out-of-school time environments that can promote healthy behaviors and thereby reduce children's risk of obesity and chronic disease. The workshop, organized by the Board on Children, Youth, and Families at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and sponsored by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, is slated for this summer in Washington, D.C.
Erika Kates, Ph.D. was invited this past winter, by a planning committee with the cochairs of the Committee on Justice-Involved Women and the Massachusetts Caucus of State Women Legislators, to present data on probation and corrections services for women. In April, she was interviewed by researchers for the Council of State Governments Justice Center, with whom she provided data on justice-involved women for a statewide review of criminal justice agencies. Kates served as a panelist for an Action for Community Development—Boston program on "Parenting from Prison," the first of a three-part series on the effects of trauma on families.
Allison Tracy, Ph.D. presented a study showing the psychometric validity and reliability of the Assessment of Program Practices Tool (APT), developed by the National Institute on Out-of-School Time (NIOST) during the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association in Washington, D.C., in April. With her research colleagues, Linda Charmaraman, Ph.D., Ineke Ceder, Amanda Richer, M.A., Kathy Schleyer, M.S., and Ellen Gannett, M.Ed., Tracy conducted a multi-phase assessment of the observational instrument designed to assess the social quality of out-ofschool time youth environments, the results of which showed strong structural validity and test-retest reliability. The most recent phase of the project has resulted in tools that can be further developed to create a rigorous and intensive reliability training protocol to increase inter-rater reliability.
Nan Stein, Ed.D. presented "Teenage girls learn their rights about sexual harassment in schools: Case studies from Sweden and the USA" with Katja Gillander Gådin, Ph.D., Mid-Sweden University, during the 2016 Law and Society Association Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA, in June. Sexual harassment in schools is a global phenomenon affecting both boys and girls, although girls are exposed more frequently. The session focused on lawsuits and complaints in both countries, while reviewing and exploring how girls in several lawsuits/complaints came to learn about their rights and how their legal mobilization may have impacted social movements among their peers. Stein will also present "Building Comprehensive Middle School Initiatives with Shifting Boundaries" during the 2016 National Sexual Assault Conference in August, in Washington, D.C. She will discuss her partnership with California's Rape Prevention and Education Program to translate the evidence-based program, Shifting Boundaries, into a comprehensive approach to prevent sexual violence and harassment for middle-schoolaged youth in two communities. The session will review challenges and successes and how they developed an evaluation plan to address system changes and school-wide outcomes. Stein also co-authored with Carrie Baker, "Obscuring Gender-Based Violence: Marriage Promotion and Teen Dating Violence Research," included in the Journal of Women, Politics & Policy (Volume 37, Issue 1). This article argues that U.S. public policies have prioritized marriage and healthy relationship promotion over research and education about gendered violence in teen dating relationships, despite evidence of the prevalence of intimate partner and teen dating violence that disproportionately impacts women and girls.
The Justice and Gender-Based Violence Research Initiative team launched a study, "Responding to Sexual Assault on Campus: A National Assessment and Systematic Classification of the Scope and Challenges for Investigation and Adjudication," funded by the National Institute of Justice. The scholars have begun the first of a threephase study that involves collecting information on sexual assault investigation and adjudication practices at a sample of U.S. colleges and universities. More than 20 Wellesley College students have been hired as research assistants on the project to collect data. The results of this phase will be completed in summer 2016 and will be used to develop typologies describing how colleges and universities are responding to sexual assault. April Pattavina, Ph.D., principal investigator; Linda Williams, Ph.D., co-principal investigator; Nan Stein, Ed.D., co-investigator; and Alison Cares, Ph.D, coinvestigator, presented the study plan to the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault in February. Williams and Pattavina also presented during the June Law & Society Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA, where they offered the paper, "How do we measure prosecutorial outcomes in cases of rape in the U.S.? Shifting numbers and meanings reveal differential legal response to a serious crime."
Joanne Roberts, Ph.D., Pat DiBlasi, and Wendy Wagner Robeson Ed.D., of the Work, Families, and Children Team (WFCT), presented during the 2016 QRIS Improvement Grantees Training Conference, sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care and United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley, with separate presentations in three large urban communities in April 2016. Members of the WFCT also presented "Improving Quality in Community-Based Early Education and Care Programs: Successes, Challenges, and Lessons Learned" in June. They shared results of Boston K1DS, an innovative partnership between Boston Public Schools and Thrive in 5 to pilot high-quality K1 (pre-K) in community-based centers, as well as results from the Ready Educators Quality Improvement Project (REQIP), a pilot of targeted technical assistance for family child care and center-based programs serving infants through preschoolers to improve child outcomes based on data, experiences, and what may inform future quality improvement efforts in Boston, MA, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Adolescent Development, Identity, & Behaviors
In March, Linda Charmaraman, Ph.D. screened her documentary, It's Our Time: The empathy gap for girls of color at Northeastern University, in Boston, MA, co-sponsored by the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program and the Department of Music. This 30-minute documentary highlights the academic, cultural, and social/emotional needs of girls of color, through interviews with Boston-area teen girls, teachers, counselors, afterschool staff, administrators, and policymakers, in an era where media is saturated with messages that promote invisibility of this overlooked population. Learn more at www.wcwonline.org/RoadToEducationalEquity.
In April, Charmaraman presented two posters at the Society for Research on Adolescence Biennial Meeting held in Baltimore, MD. Co-authored by Amanda Richer, WCW research associate, and two former Wellesley College students, Haruka Notsu and Kieran Parmelee, the poster entitled, "How early adolescents define sex: Longitudinal associations with Facebook friendship networks and sexual activity," illustrated that sexual definitions most associated with delayed sexual debut were those considered technical and medically accurate. Teens who friended neighborhood peers were more likely to define sex as physically pleasurable, which in turn, is significantly associated with sexual debut by ninth grade. Charmaraman co-presented with graduate students Ashleigh Jones and Joey Merrin at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the poster "Predicting early adolescent online sexual harassment: Associations with dismissive attitudes, peer support, and school belonging." Despite the fact that cyber sexual harassment occurs on the internet—a context outside of the school walls—the scholars demonstrated that school belonging is a potentially protective factor against cyber sexual harassment victimization. In April, at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Jones and Merrin continued to present their collaborative work with Charmaraman on a panel, "School climate, gender, context, and consequences: Effectively addressing middle school sexual harassment at school." This talk illustrated that the highest sexual harassment victimization across four waves of middle school data were associated with high levels of dismissive attitudes about sexual harassment, high levels of caring and prosocial behaviors, and low levels of school belonging.
In late June, Charmaraman kicked off the 2016 Social Media and Adolescent Health Research Team Conference held at Seattle Children's Hospital, with a presentation on adolescents and social media use. With the purpose of engaging health care providers, researchers, educators, and parents, the conference sessions focused on cyberbullying, problematic internet use, social media in schools, community organizations and their use of social media to connect to teens, and applications of social media in research. In August, former WCW intern and current graduate student in the Department of Education and Counseling at Xavier University of Louisiana, Temple Price, will present a paper, co-authored by Charmaraman, her former WCW mentor, at the 48th Annual International Association of Black Psychologists Convention to be held in Arlington, VA. The talk, "Social media: A potential tool for black women's mental health," is an extension of their recently published book chapter, "Women of color cultivating virtual social capital: Surviving and thriving" (In Tassie and Givens (Eds), Women of color and social media multitasking: Blogs, timelines, feeds, and community, 2015).
Implementing Social & Emotional Learning
Open Circle is collaborating with the Wellesley College Education Department to provide Wellesley students with opportunities to learn about and practice implementing social and emotional learning (SEL). Eight Wellesley seniors are participating in a pilot program this spring to study and implement Open Circle's SEL program as part of their teacher practicums in local elementary schools. As part of the pilot, the Wellesley seniors are teaching social and emotional skills using the Open Circle Curriculum, learning and practicing facilitation skills, and exploring ways to integrate SEL throughout the school day. A research study of this pilot will examine formative and summative feedback as well as impacts on participants' comfort with and commitment to SEL. Jennifer Grossman, Ph.D., WCW research scientist, is serving as principal investigator and Noah Rubin, Ed.D., director of the Elementary Education Program at Wellesley College, is a co-investigator.
Open Circle is developing and piloting new professional development for educators and curriculum for students in Grades 4 and 5 to strengthen their practice of grateful thinking. Based on findings from these pilots, new gratitude modules will be integrated into Open Circle's core programming for teachers and made available to new and past participants of Open Circle's teacher training. Research shows that gratitude is positively related to hope, forgiveness, pride, contentment, optimism, and inspiration.
Depression Prevention Research
Tracy Gladstone, Ph.D. is an author of the article, "A Preventive Intervention Program for Children with Depressed Parents: Protocol for an Acceptability and Feasibility Study" (De Angel, V., Prieto, F., Gladstone, T.R.G., Beardslee, W.R., & Irarrázaval, M.), which will be included in a forthcoming issue of the journal, Trials. One of the most important risk factors for childhood depression is being the child of a depressed parent. These at-risk children have two to four times the probability of having an affective episode compared with their peers. Preventive interventions, such as Beardslee's Preventive Intervention Program (PIP), that are targeted at children of depressed parents have proven effective in many countries. The PIP is a family-based approach that works by promoting resilience in children and increasing positive interactions within the family. In this pilot randomized controlled trial, the authors determined the acceptability and feasibility of an adapted version of this intervention in Chile.
Gladstone is also an author of "Prevention of Depression in At-Risk Adolescents: Predictors and Moderators of Acute Effects" (Weersing, V.R., Shamseddeen, W., Garber, J., Hollon, S.D., Clarke, G.N., Beardslee, W.R., Gladstone, T.R., Lynch, F.L., Porta, G., Iyengar, S. and Brent, D.A.) included in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The researchers assessed predictors and moderators of a cognitive-behavioral prevention program for adolescent children of parents with depression using a sample of 310 youth in four sites. Researchers concluded that depression in adolescents can be prevented, but programs may produce superior effects when interventions are at moments of relative wellness in high-risk families. Future programs may be enhanced by targeting modifiable negative clinical indicators of response.
Gladstone co-authored "Prevention of Depression in At-Risk Adolescents: Moderators of Long-Term Response" (Garber, J., Weersing, V.R., Hollon, S.D., Porta, G., Clarke, G.N., Dickerson, J.F., Beardslee, W.R., Lynch, F.L., Gladstone, T.G., Shamseddeen, W. and Brent, D.A.), which will be included in a forthcoming issue of Prevention Science. In a randomized controlled trial, the researchers found that a cognitive behavioral program (CBP) was significantly more effective than usual care in preventing the onset of depressive episodes, although not everyone benefited from the CBP intervention. The present paper explored this heterogeneity of response.
Gender, Equity, & Privilege
Layli Maparyan, Ph.D. and Peggy McIntosh, Ph.D. were featured during "Some Dynamics of Privilege: A Conversation between Peggy McIntosh and Layli Maparyan," part of the ongoing Actualizing Equity a Partnerships Learning Series at Wellesley College. Among numerous engagements, Maparyan presented, "What it means to care about women's equity today," during the YWCA Boston's Annual Meeting in Boston, MA, in November 2015, and "Womanism and Girls," during the 2015 See the Girl Summit in Jacksonville, FL. She was a panelist for "Author meets critics session: Transformation now! Toward a post-oppositional politics of change" during the National Women's Studies Association Annual Conference in Milwaukee, WI, in November.
Relational-Cultural Theory
The Jean Baker Miller Training Institute held the 2016 Advanced Summer Institute, Transforming Community: Radical Reality of Relationship, in early June. Co-sponsored by and held at The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN, the conference highlighted evidence-based approaches to community transformation and built upon the Relational-Cultural paradigm. Participants connected across professional disciplines and communities to envision and co-create new possibilities exploring inclusive healing and community transformation; collaborated and explored ways to improve education and health care; and addressed environmental and social justice issues through integrated relationship-based practices grounded in neurobiology and social action. Amy Banks, M.D., Judith Jordan, Ph.D., and Maureen Walker, Ph.D., WCW senior scholars, were among those who presented during the Institute.

If someone told you that it would take a bit of soap, some water and 30 seconds to save a life, would you believe them? It may seem hard to believe, but this is the reality for millions of people around the world. Having access to clean water, proper treatment of sewage and hand washing all have their part to play in our health and wellbeing.
How does poor sanitation lead to poor health?
Effective sanitation can minimise the spreading of harmful viruses, bacteria and parasites between people which occur commonly through faecal-oral transmission – that is, when someone unwittingly transfers harmful pathogens to someone else via food preparation or touching a shared surface. In the developing world this type of transmission can lead to the spread of diseases like cholera, polio and hepatitis, and as a result faecal-borne diseases can negatively affect the economic and educational outcomes of entire communities. UNICEF estimates that improving water, sanitation and hygiene could save a staggering 842,000 deaths across the world each year. It makes sense then that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has created the Reinvent the Toilet Challenge, to address the fact that over 4.5 billion people over the world don't have access to safe sanitation.
Of course, even in developed countries hygiene and health go hand in hand. The influenza virus can be picked up from contaminated door handles or other objects and easily transferred to the mouth or nose without adequate hand hygiene. Hospitals now have strict hand washing procedures to minimise the spread of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which can cause infection throughout the body. Other health risks from poor hand hygiene and sanitation can include skin infections, respiratory infections such as pneumonia, and of course food poisoning. The great news is that it takes some simple measures to reduce the risks and effects of infectious illnesses; for example, hand washing alone can reduce the risk of respiratory infection by 16% and diarrhea illness by about 30%.
What constitutes good sanitation and hygiene?
There's a range of measures for good sanitation and hygiene, beginning with clean running water and effective sewage systems – which of course, we're very lucky to have established here in Australia. Hand hygiene and sanitisation of shared spaces are also incredibly important factors. This ranges from providing liquid soap, paper towels and hand dryers to ensure hands are cleaned and dried properly, through to effective waste disposal products like bins for sanitary products, including our highly popular Lady Sanitary Bin and Pod Petite. By effectively cleaning and managing our shared spaces, we can all enjoy a better standard of health and wellbeing.


PROVIDENCE — The City Council will vote Tuesday afternoon on overriding Mayor Jorge Elorza's veto of a zoning change essential to the construction of the 46-story Hope Point Tower proposed for downtown.
The zoning change, approved by the City Council last month, would allow developer Jason Fane of the Fane Organization to exceed local height restrictions and build a tower up to 600 feet tall.
The mayor vetoed the change, in part because Fane would not guarantee that the city would have final approval over the tower's design.
But Ward 10 City Councilman Luis Aponte, who supported the zoning change, said he is "cautiously optimistic" that the council can override the veto.
"This is a major project in our city at a time where we really need to figure out ways to expand our tax base," he said.
Ward 13 City Councilman Bryan Principe, who voted against the zoning change, said he doesn't think his colleagues would have called the meeting if they didn't believe they could pass the override, but he's holding out hope that it will not go through.
"They're seeking to give the developer the right to not follow our laws," he said.
The council needs a supermajority, or 10 votes out of 15 members, to pass the override. When the council voted on the change to the zoning ordinance, nine members voted in favor, five voted against and one abstained.
Earlier this week, Ward 11 City Councilwoman Mary Kay Harris, who previously voted against the change to the zoning ordinance, issued a statement saying that she could see both sides of the issue and wanted more information about how the tower would affect Providence.
Harris said in a text late Thursday night that she was meeting with stakeholders and that her council colleagues likely scheduled the special meeting in case the information she receives persuades her to flip her vote.
"It is very important to me that I get this right," she wrote.
Council President David Salvatore, who abstained from voting on the change to the ordinance, has previously said he is against an override of the mayor's veto.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho refused to concede that he was on the wrong for selling Kevin de Bruyne to Wolfsburg and that the player could come back to haunt him with Manchester City in the upcoming season.
The manager revealed that he was not training well with the club and that he is happy to have done a lucrative deal when the opportunity presented itself.
The Belgian has been heavily linked with a move to the Etihad, according to the Daily Mail, but Mourinho insists that he did not have a choice regarding his transfer. De Bruyne has been among the best players in the Bundesliga last season and should he continue his brilliant form, will be a brilliant addition in the Cityzen's quest to reclaim their league title.
The 24-year-old has managed 22 assists and scored 10 goals in the league for the Bundesliga club and will add more quality up front for City, who failed to put their best foot forward last season with regards to Premier League results.
However, Mourinho failed to unleash the potential in De Bruyne at Stamford Bridge, with the player making only two starts in the league and was shunted to the bench in the corresponding games before his transfer in 2013. The Portuguese manager insists that the depth in quality in his team did not leave him with an alternative and it was in the interest of the player to force his way into the team.
"That is unfair because I wanted to keep him. And he told me it was not in his personality to be competing for a position in the team. He needed a team where he knows he can play every game. He needs to know that he is important," Mourinho said, when asked why he forced De Bruyne out of the team, as quoted by the Guardian.
"He did not want a team where he thinks am I playing or not? He needs that trust, he needs that quality. He needs that security. So I was not happy when he left. So yes it's not fair.
"He didn't tell me he couldn't handle the pressure. He told me he wanted to play every weekend. I told him this is Chelsea, you are very young, you have Eden Hazard, you have Mata, you have Willian, you have Schürrle, and I cannot promise you that," he added.
When, asked about his work ethic, Mourinho revealed that the player was not willing to sit on the bench and wanted a move abroad.
"Players have different circumstances. We sold him, made our money and it was fantastic because we bought him cheap and sold him for a fantastic price. And now Wolfsburg, if they make a fantastic deal, that is good for them," he concluded.

"The fourth category consists of sinful behavior in the past that still carries over until today. If Kavanaugh did, in fact, sexually assault his accuser more than 35 years ago, does that reflect his attitude toward women ever since? Is he an abuser? Does he view women as sexual objects? Does he look on his alleged past transgressions as just a bunch of guys having fun? Obviously, there are major reasons to question the validity of the accusations, given today's political climate. On the flip side, Kavanaugh's accuser is herself a professor today, which adds credibility to her story. May the whole truth come to light. But let's also remember that President Obama joked with students at the University of Chicago this past January, saying, "If you had pictures of everything I'd done when I was in high school I probably wouldn't have been president of the United States." In the case at hand, the charges are more serious and more concerning, since they involved alleged sexual assault. But even if they were true, they do not automatically rule out present effective service today, even in the Supreme Court. It all depends on which category, outlined above, these past (alleged) transgressions fall into." -- Dr. Michael Brown
No Dr. Brown. It does not matter what box the alleged transgressions fall into because you made them up out of thin air to find two avenues of excuse for Kavanaugh. It is simply staggering to see an alleged Christian leader state that attempted rape, if true, would not necessarily disqualify someone from the Supreme Court. Talking out of both sides of his mouth, Brown questions the validity of the accusations and also compares the attempted rape to an off cuff joke made by our former president. No one in their right minds believes Obama was talking about sexual assault.
Beloved do not lose sight of that. We are not talking about boys will be boys. We are not talking about locker room banter or frat house hijinks. We are talking about sexual assault. I do not know if it is true anymore than you. The accuser is a PHD psychologist and college professor. She has anecdotal evidence stretching back at least five years. She has demanded the FBI investigate and the Kavanaugh camp has refused. She named one of Judge Kavanaugh's friends as a witness. I understand we want conservative values on the Supreme Court but at what cost? It is embarrassing as a believer to see what we have been willing to look the other way on. As ambassadors for Christ when do we say enough? There are plenty of other qualified judges that can be chosen. As of this morning there is another woman who has come forward to claim that in his freshman year at college, Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party. Let's see how they assassinate her character.
And the NAR will gladly hold the gun for them. They see the finish line in sight and will not let a little thing like attempted rape get in the way. They have a mountain to conquer and their idolization of this country is far more important than the accusation of one woman; or two. Except, what if they are telling the truth beloved? Does that even matter to us anymore? Do we even care? Doesn't His majesty still terrify us?
Reverend Anthony Wade -- September 24, 2018

And y'know, I'm actually really disappointed that we didn't see Dean in hell at all. Is there some kind of TV ban on that? Cuz I don't think I've *ever* seen that except on The Simpsons! I have to say that I liked the premiere but it was not what I was expecting at all!
Maybe it's one of those things best left to the imagination (if you're not Dante, that is). It'd be kinda hard to film convincingly and make it horrible enough and not cheesy. It's possible there could be flashbacks to come though.
Yes, you're probably right. Maybe it's better to be a little bit spoiled..? About the only thing I'd heard about this season is that that Katie chick wasn't coming back. I guess I had the idea that if we didn't get hell, the we wouldn't see Dean for a while and it would all be about Sam being all dark and angsty... although I guess we've already been there.

As the internet's authority on ugly oversized houses, I am frequently asked about my views on tiny houses, mostly by people who hate them.
To get my manifesto started: I love tiny houses with all my heart because, above all, they are a symbol of change.
The tiny house movement is a symbol of moving towards a more sustainable way of life in the wake of the McMansion era of old. It isn't just smug hipsters moving into tiny houses, it's everyday people who simply want to live with less. In America, the vehement reaction to the tiny house is to be expected, as Americans love the cleverness of their design and their roguish mission, but at the same time balk at the idea of having less stuff. Of all the editorials against tiny houses, the most common topic of their ire is the thought of tossing out most of their belongings.
However, those who attack the tiny house movement don't understand that the move to live in smaller dwellings is ultimately a good thing, and that their smug editorials do more harm than good to the cause of living more efficiently, with a smaller environmental footprint.
But let's face it: the world is not yet ready for tiny houses, despite their adoption by ex-McMansion peddler HGTV. The infrastructure of the American housing system is prohibitive of small living in general. Zoning laws with a minimum square footage requirement make many tiny houses illegal to build. Many who have built these houses ended up losing them for this reason alone.
The requirement for tiny houses to be hooked up to municipal utilities makes the idea of mobility all but a pipe dream. Tiny houses are shunned by RV associations mostly because they infringe on their market share, and, as a result, the houses are banned at many campgrounds.
The resistance against living smaller is a systemic one, set in place by the concept of zoning, canonized by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) at the beginning of the post-war era, and it is only now that these rules are being questioned by the public.
In the US, the FHA subsidized suburban sprawl, and its now-illegal practices of redlining restricted access to loans for those who wanted to purchase housing in the cities. Now that wealth is beginning to enter the cities once more, many cities, most notably New York and San Francisco, are in a crisis of gentrification. If gentrification is the punishment of the cities by outdated FHA policy, the illegality of tiny houses is the punishment of the rural by the same perpetrators.
Smug anti-tiny editorials frequently make the assumption that everyone who wants to downsize will go to the extreme of building a 320 square-foot cabin on wheels. In reality, many who are inspired by tiny houses have instead adopted homes of around 1,000 square feet or less. Those who criticize these sizes forget that they are not far off from the small and beloved Minimal Traditional houses of the 20s and 30s. The middle class in America lived tiny after the Great Depression. Is it really a surprise that they wish to do so after the Great Recession as well?
The tiny house reflects also the increasing number of one-person households, and the poor response of home builders to societal shifts in how we live. The fact that home building and the mortgage market caters to the now-changing nuclear family is discussed at length by Dorothea Hayes in the book Redesigning the American Dream: The Future of Housing, Work and Family Life. In her book, Hayes describes how poorly housing markets have reacted to the change in the workforce and how it affects family life. The fact is, more women work, and more people are waiting longer to get married and have children, yet the home builders continue to cater to the "man of the household, his wife, and their two children" paradigm, effectively restricting the availability of housing to those who do not conform to such a lifestyle. Is it such a surprise that, given the lack of homes whose designs cater to the needs of these demographics, that they pursue tiny homes instead? Is it a surprise that those who have been effectively priced out of the housing market pursue houses that they can afford?
The fact of the matter is, despite the HGTV tiny house zeitgeist, the general public still equates living small with the concept of poverty. However, the craftiness of tiny houses are changing that perception slowly, but surely.
The reason the McMansion dominated the American landscape is because in the post-energy crisis era, Americans equated space with wealth, and could now spend relatively little to build large, if poorly-constructed homes. The small/poor, large/rich dichotomy is starting to fall apart in the era of rejuvenated cities and post-recession skepticism towards the housing market. The isolation brought by having too much space, and the bad taste the recession left in the mouths of young people has led to a total economic rejection of the McMansion and an embrace of the tiny house.
To shift opinions, event slightly, one must first present the population with something radical, and the 320 square-foot cabin on wheels is indeed radical. Perhaps, in the wake of tiny houses, people won't abandon all of their belongings for a nomadic life, but they may now ask themselves, for the first time since the 80s: "do we really need all of this space?" That, to me, is progress - and progress is good enough.

Live fetus inside the urinary bladder: a case report
Úrsula Trovato Gomez , Pedro Paulo Pereira , Fábio Roberto Cabar , José Luiz Borges de Mesquita, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira Francisco
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2019RC4570
Vesicouterine fistula is a rare condition. Its incidence, however, has been increasing due to the higher incidence of cesarean sections. The presence of a live fetus inside the bladder who passed through a vesicouterine fistula is an extremely rare situation. We report a case of woman who underwent two previous cesarean sections, was referred to a hospital due to mild pelvic pain and genital bleeding. At the moment, physical examination was normal. Ultrasound scan revealed a gestational sac inserted into the anterior wall of the uterus, with a living fetus of approximately 13 weeks, with active body movement and normal heart rate inside it. The fetal abdomen, around the waist, was stuck at the opening of a vesicouterine fistula, so that the fetal head and trunk were entirely into the bladder cavity, while lower limbs remained at the uterine cavity. Laparotomy was performed, the fistulous tract was excised, the fetus (without heart beating) was removed on opening the bladder, and the uterine cavity was emptied. The defects in the bladder and uterus were repaired. The postoperative period was uneventful. A live fetus inside the urinary bladder is a rare condition the continuation of pregnancy is unlikely and the vesicouterine correction can be made by the time of surgical intervention.

Last night was the results show for Dancing with the Stars' Ode to Broadway. Right away, the judges choose J.R. Martinez, who is tied with Rickie Lake for the top spot, to dance an encore performance of his quickstep. Not surprisingly, J.R. and Karina Smirnoff receive a standing ovation, and the pair is deemed safe from elimination.
After the leaders (along with second place contender Nancy Grace) hype up next week's Halloween extravaganza, Broadway darling Kristen Chenoweth performs a song from her new CD. Monday night's performances featuring Ricki and Derek Hough, as well as Nancy and partner Tristan MacManus are highlighted. The two pairs are up next on the chopping block, and both are declared safe.
The "stars" then discuss their frustrations, tension, and stress from the rigorous practices and live performances. It's very dramatic…for results show filler. Is it just me or is this elimination episode going even more slowly than normal? At least we have Corbin Bleu (yes, that dude from High School Musical) to mix things up with a Broadway-themed song and dance with the Maci's Stars of Dance performers. It's a pretty fabulous number.
Martina McBride takes the stage with her newest song. Behind the scenes footage of David Arquette and Kym Johnson, as well as Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer, is shown. Chaz has the lowest score scores from Monday night, and he's the first contestant sent to the bottom. David and Kym will return to dance next week.
Pros Mark Ballas and Lacey Schwimmer hit the stage with some very talented children. It's a Halloween themed dance to get the audience excited for next week's special. These kids are amazing dancers, but the girl dressed up as the doll freaks me out just a tad. Hope Solo and Maks Chmerkovskiy discuss Maks' outburst at Len Goodman on Monday night after he called it Hope's worst dance of the season. While Hope stands behind her partner, Maks feels he overstepped his bounds by referring to it as HIS show. Perhaps just a bit…
Rob Kardashian hitting partner Cheryl Burke's head on the floor is replayed, but the couple still manages to skate through till next week. It really bothers me that I am kind of starting to enjoy Rob…he's definitely not the best dancer, but he has a cute personality. Maybe I just feel sorry for him because his family grates on my last nerve (not you, Lamar Odom!). Hopefully it's just a phase.
Hope and Maks are in jeopardy with Chaz and Lacey. Chaz looks worried, Hope is laughing (maybe nervously?). It's getting to the point where I get kind of sad to see anyone go, regardless of how bad they dance. After a long run, most of it at the bottom of the leaderboard, Chaz is eliminated. You can't say he didn't have a great run! He says his good-byes with a lot of class.
DO YOU THINK CHAZ DESERVED TO GO HOME? WHICH "STARS" DO YOU PREDICT WILL BE IN THE FINALS? WHO DO YOU THINK WILL BE THE NEXT ONE ELIMINATED?

I've heard about this book and am glad I read the review. Have visited Alaska and seen sled dogs in training. I love MG stories and this really appeals to me. Sounds like a page-turner. Great review.
I think this is a story you would enjoy Pat. You'll be able to connect with the story more deeply having been to Alaska and seen sled dog training in real life, which is very cool by the way!
This sounds like a perfect middle school book for the kids in the midwest!
I haven't read a middle grade book in ages! But can definitely see the appeal of this book. I like strong MC's so would definitely consider giving this book a go. Thanks for putting it on my radar!
This sounds like a very cute book and I think the only mg books I've read are the Percy Jackson series and maybe one or two others. Great review and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I also have trouble finding MG books I can connect with, so the fact that you enjoyed this story so much means I'll be adding this to my TBR list. Victoria sounds like an impressive MC!
Yes! I loved this book! My review will be up soon (hopefully), but I'm glad to see that you enjoyed it as much as I did. It was quite the adventure!

Say It Create It is not just for Speech Therapists. I am loving it in Occupational Therapy too! I have used these kits to promote and engage some of my older kiddo's in various printing activities. I also, love them for my younger kiddo's. They are perfect for developing hand skills. The molding of the dough and pushing down on the cookie cutters is a great way to work on developing those intrinsic arches in palm of the hand, hand strength, bilateral motor skills, and so much more. I would also, like to comment on the dough, it molds nicely and is of the quality that it will not dry out. Containers seal tight, therefore preserving the consistency of the dough. I can't say enough about how much my kiddo's love these kits! You will not be disappointed!!
Say It Create It being used in Occupational Therapy! Thank you Wendy Williams Behr for sharing this! What an awesome idea and a cool way to use the kits.

ON THE ROAD; Long And Short of It Is Long and Short of It. Then There's the Bar.
Most of the visitors at this trade show arrived in limousines, as one would expect. Some then tried to sell the limousines, and some shopped for more limousines. Those not too hung over from the toga party or the beach bash reported for morning seminars on topics like chauffeur training tips.
In this city, with its already high resident-to-limousine ratio, they were not even conspicuous. They were highly concentrated, though, at the annual Limousine Digest show: 5,000 people who live limousines coursed into an arena at the Trump Taj Mahal last week to peer into cars with fiber-optic stargazer ceilings, oriental rugs, pull-down television screens and, above all, elaborate bars.
''I could use this in New York,'' Frank Ray said as he sidled up to a $130,000 white Hummer stretched to 30 feet. ''It's murder in the city.'' The Hummer, with a fog machine and laser-show setup in the back, was one of the biggest items, literally and figuratively, in the arena. It was a powerful distraction for customers like Mr. Ray, who as owner of F & Z Transportation in Freeport, N.Y., was shopping for a limousine bus for missions like transporting groups of church ladies.
Mr. Solombrino, who started his business as a college student and now has 11,000 limos in 400 cities, is chauffeured everywhere. His bus has a microwave and a fruit bowl on the kitchen counter, thermostat and humidity gauge on the wall, and two sleeping compartments with royal blue comforters that match the color scheme in the back bedroom.
The typical limousine -- and that would be a Lincoln Town Car, cut in half and stretched with panels four to ten feet long -- is not especially showy. As for the corporate clients who are the largest single source of revenue in the industry, ''to them a car's a car,'' one dealer said with a wave of the hand.
At times, some of the operators say, this is just a little too true. Prom season wears on drivers' nerves, for example, although 18-year-olds out on the town are better than the dreaded bachelor parties.
The fellowship of limousine people let loose a little itself on this rare escape from a job that knows no weekends. The awards dinner was warm with gossip and applause. At the toga party afterward only a few ties appeared, and some partygoers showed no evidence of clothing beneath their sheets. One man danced in a black terrycloth bathrobe.
The white car, with gold eagle on the hood and trumpets arrayed between the headlights, brings $100 an hour for weddings. But Mr. Ocando said he needed to sell it to buy something else, which he hoped he could drive home, in the caravan of limousine guys from Pittsburgh, across the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

A G.I. Doctor Breaks Down How Your Beloved Antacid Tablets Affect Your Gut
Well+Good 11/26/2021 Korin Miller
© Photo: Getty Images / Antonio Diaz Closeup of a young brunette sitting on a couch about to take an effervescent antacid When acid indigestion strikes, many people weigh one of two options: Suffer through the stomach pain and discomfort or pop an antacid tablet in hopes of getting some relief. Those little tablets are handy to keep around for "just-in-case" scenarios, and they're easy to get at your local drugstore. Besides taking antacid tablets for digestive issues, some people take them daily to try to up their calcium levels whether they have indigestion or not. But is this a good idea? Below, doctors break it all down.
What's in antacid tablets, again
Most antacid tablets, including Tums and Rolaids, are made of calcium carbonate, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. This can relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach, but it can also be used as a dietary supplement when you don't have enough calcium in your diet. (Calcium, in case you're rusty on it, is an essential mineral that your body needs to build and maintain strong bones and to carry out plenty of other important functions, according to the National Institutes of Health.)
Everyone's calcium needs are slightly different, but it's generally recommended that healthy adults get between 1,000 and 1,200 milligrams of calcium a day. Tums, for example, contains 200 milligrams of calcium per tablet.
While calcium carbonate is a popular form of antacids, some tablets use a combination of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach, the U.S. National Library of Medicine says. (Maalox is a popular brand.)
What typically causes indigestion
Indigestion is a general term used to describe a group of gastrointestinal symptoms that happen together, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Those symptoms can include pain, burning, discomfort in your upper abdomen, feeling full too soon when you eat, and feeling uncomfortably full afterward.
Indigestion is common: It impacts about one in four people in the U.S. each year, the NIDDK says. Certain habits can raise your risk of having indigestion, including drinking too much alcohol, having too much coffee or other caffeinated drinks, eating too fast, indulging in too many spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, having foods with a lot of acid, like tomatoes and citrus fruits, stress, and smoking.
How do antacid tablets work in the gut
Antacid tablets are alkaline, meaning they're not acidic. "They're anti-acid and help neutralize the acid in your stomach," says Ashkan Farhadi, MD, a gastroenterologist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California. "They are like putting out the fire, and they neutralize the acid right away." Both calcium carbonate and aluminum hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide tablets work this way.
If you have heartburn or acid reflux, antacid tablets are very effective," Dr. Farhadi says. The effect is "immediate," he says, but relief doesn't last long.
Is it OK to take antacid tablets daily

While plenty of people use calcium carbonate antacid tablets as a source of calcium, this can be tricky to navigate. "Be careful," says Jamie K. Alan, PhD, an associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University. "If you take too many at a time, your stomach starts pumping out acid, and you get a 'rebound effect' where you produce a large amount of acid." This, she says, "can be quite uncomfortable."
Dr. Farhadi agrees. "You have a thermostat in your body," he says. "When you neutralize acid right away, the body is going to make acid, and it will come back with revenge." If you rely solely on calcium carbonate antacid tablets for your calcium source, you could be popping up to five a day—and that can raise your risk of rebound indigestion, Dr. Farhadi says.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine also points out that calcium carbonate tablets can cause a slew of potential side effects, including:
increased urination
metallic taste
Aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide tablets aren't perfect either. The U.S. National Library of Medicine lists the following as potential side effects:
Dr. Farhadi says there are some concerns about aluminum toxicity if you take them regularly. While some observational studies have also found a link between aluminum and dementia, a large meta-analysis of nine observational studies of more than 6,000 people did not find a link between regular antacid use and Alzheimer's disease. That also held true when the analysis only looked at people who used antacids regularly for more than six months. Still, Dr. Farhadi says, "I would not take them for maintenance—just for acute problems and issues."
If you're already dealing with the occasional heartburn or acid indigestion, experts say it's best to get your calcium supplementation elsewhere. The taste of antacid tablets can also be a little much to take. "I prefer the calcium tablets that you swallow," Dr. Alan says.
What should you do if you're struggling with constant acid indigestion
Having a little heartburn and acid indigestion here is pretty common, Farhadi says. But, if you notice that it's a regular thing for you and you're taking antacid tablets often (read: several times a week) as a result, he recommends talking to your doctor to see if you might have an underlying health condition.
That's especially true if you've been relying on antacid tablets for your calcium intake. There's a chance this habit could actually be giving you acid indigestion without you even realizing it.
Either way, talking to your doctor about what's going on in your body, along with any supplements you're taking (Tums and Maalox included), is crucial to help you get relief, Dr. Farhadi says.

Aberdeen Standard Investments launches Global Innovation Equity Fund
The new fund will invest in innovative companies who they believe are able to drive outsized investment returns by capturing the bulk of the economic value created by waves of innovation.
Patricia Molina
Investor Relations Specialist
Aberdeen Standard Investments (ASI) has launched a new Global Innovation Equity Fund, seeking to invest in companies with strong cultures of innovation across the globe.
The Luxembourg-domiciled Aberdeen Standard SICAV I – Global Innovation Equity Fund will invest in all-caps and will not be restricted to the technology sector. The investment approach will deliberately transcend geographies and sectors so as to capture the innovations that lead to change throughout society and as such, seeking to drive positive returns for investors.
"At ASI, we think that companies with an innovative culture can build lasting competitive advantages and benefit from profound changes in their markets or businesses. Throughout history, successive waves of innovation have driven economic progress. Over the last 250 years there have been six major 'waves' of innovation. From steam power to automation, these waves tend to last decades. This makes them durable drivers of growth.
By identifying these waves and finding innovative companies that will benefit them, we can make investment decisions that play out over not years, but decades."
Andy Brown, Investment Director at Aberdeen Standard Investments
The Fund will be managed by a portfolio construction group (pod) within ASI's Global Equities team and will also benefit from the extensive knowledge and expertise of our central team of ESG experts as well as ESG analysts within the wider Global Equities team. ASI achieved a UN PRI Assessment of A+ for active equity in 2020.
The Fund aims to provide long term growth by investing at least two thirds in companies listed globally of all sizes whose business models are focused on and/or benefit from all forms of innovation. We believe these innovative companies are able to drive outsize investment returns by capturing the bulk of the economic value created by waves of innovation. By investing in such companies, our aim over the decades to come is to stay at the forefront of progress on our clients' behalves.
The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI AC World Index (USD) benchmarkbefore charges.
The fund is registered in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Spain.

Alert Property Group | Residential Property | Thinking of Selling?
Is the market right to sell?
The Real Estate market is no different to any other market around the world, whether it be financial, stocks or currency markets, they all work in cycles, ie they have their ups and their downs.
We are currently rising up from a low point in both the Australian and Global real estate market.
There has been a significant decline on the number of properties available for sale thus buyer enquiry on the current stock has been healthy.
In general terms the real estate market is looking the best it has been in the last 6 years, so those who are thinking about selling at present should take advantage of the current conditions.
