Dispatch: Russians Don't Understand Why Anyone Is Upset With 'Girl Crazy' Weinstein Russians Don't Understand Why Anyone Is Up...
Russians Don't Understand Why Anyone Is Upset With 'Girl Crazy' Weinstein
In Putin's Russia, discussion of sexual harassment and domestic violence are largely taboo.

MOSCOW — As the number of women alleging sexual assault by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein continues to mount, there is one country where the public doesn't seem to believe the claims: Russia.
Never one for subtleties, especially if the United States is involved, Russia has reacted to the scandal erupting across America and Europe with a mixture of incredulity and bemusement.
Raising her hand to her mouth in a show of embarrassment, the Russian contestant for next month's "Miss Universe" pageant, Ksenia Alexandrova, told reporters that Russia would never experience anything like it, thanks to President Vladimir Putin. The beauty queen didn't elaborate on how the Russian leader would manage this. Russia's "Miss World" candidate Polina Popova agreed, chiming in last week: "Everything depends on how a woman behaves around a man. You need to keep your distance, and everything will turn out fine."
In Putin's Russia, women's issues have been sacrificed amid a rising wave of conservatism, coinciding with the spread of the powerful Russian Orthodox Church. Putin decriminalized certain aspects of domestic violence in February, and an anti-abortion debate is gaining traction. Just over a decade ago, Putin himself was caught making light of sexual assault with then-Israeli President Moshe Katsav, who was accused — and later convicted — of raping an employee. (The Kremlin later said Putin was making a joke that was lost in translation).
When it comes to Russia's deeply patriarchal society, both sides of the political spectrum have gone after the victims in the Weinstein scandal, where dozens of female celebrities are accusing the media mogul of a litany of sexual misconduct, from unwanted advances to rape. They include A-list names such as Angelina Jolie and Rose McGowan, who are well known to Russian audiences.
"Why did you stay quiet all of these years?" TV Rain's Mikhail Kozyrev asked of the women who claim Weinstein sexually harassed and abused them. "What prevented you at that moment from taking a step back to say, 'I will never work with this person,' or 'Danger!'" said Kozyrev, whose channel is the country's only form of independent television. (TV Rain is also the channel that recently broadcast an interview with a member of the infamous "Russian Troll Farm," which allegedly was involved in trying to sway the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Among other revelations, Russian trolls working there were required to watch "House of Cards.")
Life, a pro-Kremlin tabloid site and television channel that has been covering the story with much enthusiasm, described Weinstein — whose name is transliterated into Russian as 'Vainshtein', a common Russian Jewish surname — in deferential and vindicatory terms, calling him a "sex machine" who is just "girl crazy."
On major state broadcaster Channel 1, host Ivan Urgant opened his late-night talk show last week with the Weinstein revelations. "So it seems that in American show business, you can sleep your way in," Urgant joked to his on-set audience. "It's not like that here," he said, before adding in jest that a male security guard in their TV tower once offered him entry to the building in return for sexual favors.
While the Weinstein scandal is raising questions about rape culture across the globe, and forcing other sections of the media, including journalism, to examine its own behavior, Russia has avoided such self-exploration. Issues of sexual harassment and domestic violence are largely taboo in Russia, though both are widespread, campaigners say.
But Russia's nascent feminist movement has condemned the victim-blaming in the Weinstein affair. Addressing the "Miss Universe" contestant who thanked Putin for keeping Russia free from such scandal, women's rights campaigner Alena Popova said talking about sexual harassment was a sign of a healthy society. "Perhaps you're thanking the authorities because we have women who stay silent about harassment, because they're told they're at fault," she wrote sarcastically on her Facebook page.
Popova — who is not related to the "Miss World" contestant of the same name — also pointed out that by law, Russia currently has few effective legal protections for women who are harassed at work.
There could also be a political element to Russia's resistance to looking itself in the mirror, said film producer Victoria Smirnoff, the only Russian woman who has publicly accused Weinstein of making unwanted advances on her. Smirnoff, now 43 and living in Switzerland, said Weinstein pushed her into the bathroom of her hotel suite in the early 2000s in Beverly Hills, where he fidgeted with the zipper of his pants. The incident didn't go further as her boyfriend saw something was amiss and knocked on the door.
She laughs it off now, saying she doesn't consider herself a victim.
In an email exchange with Foreign Policy, she said that since writing about her experience on Friday, she has been inundated with Russian media requests but has refused to be interviewed by them, fearful they are seeking to sensationalize her case and distract attention from the country's own woes.
"They won't miss a chance to point fingers at America," she wrote.

Identify the most salient reaction by the general public (particularly youth and children) to an exhibition on testing and measurement.
Establish the needs of the public with regard to evaluation and measurement.
In one initiative, 150 persons filled out a questionnaire, either online or on paper. The first question asked respondents to mention one long or difficult test that they had taken recently. The majority of respondents (104) noted math tests or high school matriculation exams, both of which are achievement tests. Only 38 noted selection and placement exams (a reflection of the respondents' age distribution). The main difference between achievement tests and selection exams is that the former assess one's command of a particular body of knowledge, and the latter are an attempt to predict future success in a particular area. The exhibition should address in some way the characteristics of achievement tests or the differences between achievement tests and selection exams.
What is a "good" test? Most interesting: entertaining tests on "non-school" topics, theoretical information about tests (why they're needed, descriptions of different types, etc.), and examples of different kinds of tests. Least interesting: graphology, critical views of tests, knowledge-assessment tests, test-grading, reliability and validity.
Testing and society: Most interesting: tests throughout history. Least interesting: data on tests conducted in Israel.
Testing in the future: Most interesting: what your brain looks like when you take a test. Least interesting: alternative measurement techniques.
Given the impact of tests on society, we wanted to get some notion of how people conceive of the relationship between the two. We asked whether they could envision a world without tests. They gave their reasons for feeling that tests are indispensable. Some reasons related to selection processes in today's society: Tests are a means of comparing or ranking people; they help create order and are an essential feature of the modern, competitive world. Tests help to channel people in directions that match their abilities and are a fair way of categorizing people according to relevant qualifications. Other reasons related to learning: Tests are a tool of learning and motivate people to learn. They are necessary for quality control (to see if students have, indeed, learned), and they give people some indication of where they stand—what they're good at, what they've learned, what needs improvement.
Reasons given for why tests should be eliminated: Respondents stated that the world would be more pleasant and less stressful without tests. The argument was presented that there is no need for tests if we want to learn for learning's sake, and that testing is not the only way to evaluate people's abilities (job performance, for example). We included a specific question on how people view the Psychometric Test (used in admissions to institutions of higher learning). Some of the opinions expressed were positive (the test is important and must be conducted, it is fair, it contains good questions, and it is an effective means of screening university applicants), and others were negative (the test is difficult, stressful, and unnecessary, and it favors those of a higher economic standing). There was no clear majority opinion.
To elicit their ideas about the future of testing, we asked respondents whether connecting wires to the brain would be better than actually taking tests.
Those who answered in the affirmative noted less stress (caused by the testing situation, test anxiety, etc.) and more accurate measurements (a direct examination of knowledge, smaller measurement error). Those who answered negatively, gave as reasons, the anxiety produced by an invasive and unpleasant brain test, and the missed opportunity for learning (inasmuch as learning is associated with tests, this could be construed as one of the basic benefits of test-taking).
This question did not achieve the goal of eliciting a definitive view about testing in the future, as evidenced by the mutually exclusive positive and negative responses. Apparently, the question needs to be replaced by one relating to specific opinions or attitudes. Also, the questionnaires were filled out in a school, a setting which may have influenced the results. If we want to make further generalizations, we will need to work with a bigger sample of respondents, one that extends beyond museum visitors.
Since teachers, with their classes, are potential visitors to the exhibition, we were concerned to know their views and so a specific meeting was arranged which focused on their input. We met with 17 teachers of science, math and English. At first, they were skeptical about the idea of an exhibition on testing, which they said was a dry, uninteresting subject. They began to show some enthusiasm when we mentioned the possibility of relating to testing in a more general sense. The teachers suggested that the exhibition focus on preparing students "for the next test" and dealing with test anxiety. They were interested in formative assessments and in all aspects of testing and learning; they also wanted to learn more about how exams are constructed and how children can be taught to better understand exam questions (something they pinpointed as a basic problem). The teachers expressed concern about the use of testing in the school system, which rates teachers, for example, according to their students' achievements.


Explain from the exact first paragraph of their individual anatomy of the letter you're creating it. Just as crucial as things that you should include in your own cover letter would be the things that shouldn't ever be to your pay letter. Making certain that it is specific towards the audience and position is crucial. The resume cover letter shouldn't simply look professional, but in addition, it should be easily readable. Your cover letter ought to demonstrate you know exactly what the work involves and the business is currently hunting for. You have to be productive at drafting letters. Thus the correspondence is similar to any proper small business letter. Ultimately, bear in mind that your resume cover letter could become a superb tool to help you've got the suitable small business analyst occupation. Sometimes you are going to be asked to send your resume cover letter within a contact as opposed to distinct document. All letters should be business letter format also there ought to be about three brief paragraphs. Essentially, cover letter can be your own advertising security. A powerful cover letter has the capability to make your app stand out by the crowd. Finding out more about a company is another excellent means to figure the way to tailor your cover letter. The pay letter, even for one, is a significant proof this very simple fact that he would like a specific task. You may be able to accommodate one cover letter to fit several similar jobs, but also you ought to plan to compose different letters to get jobs in many fields or various industries. While it could seem dull, you often need to customise each correspondence to match with the specific project that you're applying. Furthermore, protect letters match the resume, and they truly are both attached to one another. You possess your own cover letter. Protect letters normally contain information regarding some body, the task connection with someone, the job , and also the career goals of someone. A resume cover letter is some thing which you deliver with your resume, into a recruiter, detailing the reason you imagine you're the best man to take up the job that the business is providing. For example, it's a huge place to talk of a career change or maybe to explain a lengthy gap in job. It's a brief introduction, maybe not your own whole history so do not attempt to pay for everything. The exact way it will make you seem wellqualified for a single position, it will make you appear to be overqualified for another. It is essentially a brief summary of one's skills and knowledge. It will reveal to the reader you have read the project ad carefully and that you are truly curious in that specific job. Primarily, it really is really a less formal type of correspondence writing compared to the conventional cover letter. Your letter needs to incorporate an succinct overview which fits with your own skills and adventures to this project description. Your cover letter needs to be typed professionally. It is a chance for one to tell your potential employers explicitly the way your skills and experiences fit up to the job you're employing forand a possiblity to explain any unusual history you may possibly have. The most efficient insure letters have been lent to each possible employer for optimum results.

Photograph of the valley of Ala-Archa National Park located 40 kilometers in southern of Bishkek, the capital city of Kyrgyzstan (or Kyrgyz Republic). The park covers about 200 square kilometers and belongs to a much wider mountain range called Tian Shan. This 2,500 kilometers mountainous massif (two-thirds of which is in China) is UNESCO World Heritage in its western part through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. Peak Semenova Tian-Shanski is the highest peak in Ala-Archa Park with 4,895 meters. Despite the altitude, about 2,000 meters for the gorge, we can see juniper trees all along the river because this tree has the ability to survive in hostile environment (low oxygen, poor soil, and with negative temperatures).


As Deputy Prime Minister, Sir Nick Clegg occupied the second highest office in the country at a time when the United Kingdom was recovering from a deep recession following the banking crisis of 2008, and hugely controversial decisions were needed to restore stability to the public finances. During that time, he oversaw referenda on electoral reform and Scottish independence, and extensive reforms to the education, health and pensions systems. He was particularly associated with landmark changes to the funding of schools, early years' education and the treatment of mental health within the NHS.
Sir Nick Clegg's insight into the most senior levels of UK government, combined with an integral understanding and experience of European politics, contacts at the highest levels of government across the EU, and fluency in five European languages, mean that his views and analysis on the current Government's Brexit negotiations continue to be in high demand.
Prior to his entry into British politics, Nick Clegg served as a leading Member of the European Parliament on trade and industry affairs and as an international trade negotiator in the European Commission dealing with the accession of China and Russia into the World Trade Organisation.
Sir Nick is one of the most high-profile pro-European voices in British politics, and has played an influential role in the debate leading up to and since the EU referendum in June 2016.
As well as leading his small think tank, Open Reason, Sir Nick is a Global Commissioner for the Global Commission on Drugs Policy, and a trustee of the Social Mobility Foundation and Radix, a radical centrist think tank.He remains an outspoken advocate of civil liberties and centre ground politics, of radical measures to boost social mobility, and of an internationalist approach to world affairs.
Sir Nick's book, 'Politics: Between the Extremes', (a Sunday Times Best Seller) was published in September 2016 and is a reflection on his time in Government and the place of liberalism in the current political landscape. He published his second best-selling book, 'How to Stop Brexit – and Make Britain Great Again', in October 2017.

Q: Why does Encode::decode with non-latin letter locales blow up on localised strftime output? On Ubuntu with Perl 5.26.1 I have encountered the following problem when working on Dancer::Logger::Console. I've lifted this code out of Dancer2::Core::Role::Logger.
In order to run this, you need to generate the following locales:
sudo locale-gen de_DE.UTF-8
sudo locale-gen ko_KR.UTF-8

This example code uses the Korean locale, and fails without an error message. $@ is empty.
$ LC_ALL=ko_KR.UTF-8 perl -MPOSIX -MEncode -E 'eval {
    say Encode::decode("UTF-8", strftime("%b", localtime))
  };
  say $@;
  '
Wide character at -e line 1.

When run with a German locale, it succeeds (but throws a wide character warning, which we can ignore for this test).
$ LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 perl -MPOSIX -MEncode -E 'eval {
    say Encode::decode("UTF-8", strftime("%b", localtime))
  };
  say $@;
  '
Wide character in say at -e line 2.
M�r

The %b formatting is the abbreviated month as localised word (see http://strftime.net/).
If we don't Encode::decode("UTF-8", ...), it works, and the version above with Korean produces 3월.
What's going on here?

A: Under ko_KR.UTF-8, strftime("%b", localtime(1552997524)) returns 20.33.C6D4. When interpreted as Unicode Code Points, this is "␠3월" ("March", with a leading space).
Under de_DE.UTF-8, strftime("%b", localtime(1552997524)) returns 4D.E4.72. When interpreted as Unicode Code Points, this is "Mär" (short form of "März", "March").
So it seems decoded text (Unicode Code Points) are being returned, which is perfect. All that's left to do is to encode the outputs.
$ LC_ALL=ko_KR.UTF-8 perl -CSD -MPOSIX -e'CORE::say strftime("%b", localtime)'
 3월

$ LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 perl -CSD -MPOSIX -e'CORE::say strftime("%b", localtime)'
Mär

In a program (as opposed to a one-liner), you could use something like the following instead of -CSD:
use open ':std', ':encoding(UTF-8)';

Q: How to calculate the different angles the normal of a plane makes with the different axis in a 3D space? I am working with point clouds and I need to find all of the angles (actually only that ones that the normal forms with the x axis and the z axis) of the normal in each point in my point cloud. The problem is that I don't quite understand how to calculate those values but I know it involves vector translation, vector projection and only working in 2D each time. Could someone please explain in detail how to approach this issue? I'm sorry if the question sounds confusing, I'm also having trouble finding the answer to this on the internet.
EDIT: I talked to the project manager. I need to calculate the angles that the normal makes with the different axis using the spheric coordinate system but I'm still having issues with understanding it.

A: The answer to the question can be found at cartesian to spherical.

Wednesday Was Yesterday
September 25th, 2009 Dave	No comments
The final issue of DC's Wednesday Comics hit stores this week. My initial enthusiasm about this experiment–a 12-issue miniseries of weekly installments printed in the manner of a Sunday comics supplement–waned after the fourth issue or so. Several of the stories wasted too much of their limited page count dicking around. Neil Gaiman's Metamorpho featured two straight weeks of full-page panels in which the Element Man walked and talked.
So, how did the individual strips fare?
Batman – A wonderfully moody first chapter turned into an unambitious murder investigation. You mean that the rich geezer was done in by his hot, gold-digging wife? What a "mystery!"
Kamandi – This Prince Valiant-style excursion through a post-apocalyptic world ruled by beasts was terrific from beginning to end. It made me want to check out creator Jack Kirby's original run.
Superman – The one which failed most spectacularly is disappointingly the one which received the most exposure courtesy USA Today. Superman spent six issues moping until he remembered the time he was adopted by loving parents and spend thirty years living happily among humans. Then he punched some aliens.
Deadman – Enjoyable overall, but not necessarily a good introduction to the character. Deadman's main traits are his incorporeality and his ability to possess others, and the setting of much of the story–a hellscape in which he had a physical form–rendered both of those moot.
Green Lantern – A very slow start that, while it picked up midway through, didn't amount to much of a story. At least it wasn't about a guy with a power ring who only fights other guys with power rings, as is the case with the monthly comic.
Metamorpho – I was very annoyed by the panel in which the characters name-checked the (off-panel) traps they faced. If you're going to reference a "laser attack" room, I'd rather see that than two weeks of walk-and-talk. Still, I liked that Gaiman heavily mined Silver Age continuity here, particularly the inclusion of Algon the ancient Element Man. He kept teasing with the idea of an ongoing Metamorpho title, and I think that he should convince someone at DC to let him take a whack at it.
Teen Titans – I had no damned idea what was going on here. I don't know if it was the art or the script, but I couldn't make sense of it. Something about Deathstroke the Terminator dressing up as an even sillier villain.
Strange Adventures – Paul Pope's art was…interesting. Yet I can't say that I didn't enjoy his version of Adam Strange via Edgar Rice Burroughs. It took some enormous liberties with the concept–particularly the nature of the Zeta Beam and the notion that Adam is an old man when he's not on the planet Rann–but it was intriguing and fun.
Supergirl – Second only to Kamandi. I loved this, and would buy an ongoing monthly in a heartbeat. The artwork was appealing to the eye, and full of character moments. Krypto and Streaky (and Supergirl!) have never been cuter. Aquaman's clam phone? Brilliant!
Metal Men – My number three choice. I know that people dump on DC Comics' executive editor Dan DiDio, but he bulls-eyed this one with a script that included everything I like about the Metal Men, with none of what I dislike about them.
Wonder Woman – Again, no idea what happened here. I think it was supposed to be a riff on all those old stories that told how WW won the individual elements of her costume, but I felt as if I was battling the artwork, and the artwork won.
Sgt. Rock – It just seemed to be a standard-issue Rock story that made no attempt to fit into the newspaper format.
Flash – The initial idea–a Flash strip running in tandem with one about his suffering wife Iris–was neat, but I lost track of what was going on with all the time-travel. In stories of this sort–in which multiple incarnations of a character from different time-periods simultaneously appear–the writer needs to clearly signpost which version is which. And I'm not sure what was up with the suggestion that the Flash had intentionally created Grodd's gorilla-filled parallel realm.
Demon/Catwoman – It was okay, but I started out wondering why Catwoman was in the story and ended it feeling the same.
Hawkman – Well done for the most part. I was happy to see Dinosaur Island. Leaving Hawkman without his wings for half the story was probably a mistake; he's pretty much Manman at that point.
I wouldn't mind seeing DC try something like this again, but I think that the creators need to remember how to tell a complete story in twelve pages. They managed it all the time in the Silver Age.

My Own Boiling Point Is 56.7 Degrees Celsius
October 7th, 2007 Dave	No comments
In the '60s, we got to the moon by flying through a PICTURE of the moon.
While my love of so-called "Silver Age" (1956-69 or thereabouts) DC Comics remains unabated, I have to admit that in rediscovering them through the massive reprint volumes known as Showcase Presents I've found that all too often, they…well, let's just say that they're not quite as good as I remembered.
Must be a Russian robot.
The Showcase books, which reprint entire runs of comics in chronological order, aren't necessarily the ideal format for these stories. Consuming issue after issue in one go rather than waiting a month or two for the next installment highlights their repetitive and formulaic nature.
Submitted in support is the most recent volume, featuring the Metal Men. This unusual super-team debuted in 1962, in issue #37 of the original Showcase title. Showcase (no "Presents" back then) was a book which tried out new characters and concepts, with the most popular given their own titles. "Metal Men" was originally intended as a mere fill-in story, but the heroes were so well-received that they appeared in four issues before spinning off into a bimonthly series which ran for another seven years.
Lead became so concerned over his atomic weight that he developed an atomic eating disorder.
The Metal Men were robots created by the brilliant Doc Magnus, each a shape-shifting humanoid endowed with the properties (and anthropomorphized personality) of a metallic element: noble Gold, strong man Iron, slow-moving Lead, hot-headed Mercury, weakling Tin, and beautiful Platinum, the latter the only female in the band.
Look, I said it was the '60s.
It was established from the beginning that the effectiveness of the Metal Men as superheroes stemmed from their imperfections. The "responsometers" that governed their actions left them with human-like emotions, ironically making them better at their job than mere robots would have been. On several occasions, Doc built duplicate Metal Men without this flaw, and the dopplegangers inevitably proved a danger to others.
Platinum (aka Tina) got the worst of it, exhibiting stereotypically "female" behaviors as only a '60s comic book writer could envision them. While the other Metal Men were loyal to their creator, Tina was in love with Doc, and said so…constantly. Doc had to keep reminding her that she was "only a robot."
Get used to this line of conversation. It'll come up again.
As I mentioned, comics of this period frequently repeated themselves, often for the benefit of new readers. You could bet that most of the following would occur in any given Metal Men story:
Mercury would arrogantly declare that he was the only metal that was liquid at room temperature.
Doc would tell Tina that she was not a woman, and that she should behave like a robot.
The Metal Men would announce their respective atomic weights and/or boiling points. DC Comics were scientific like that.
Tin would fret about his uselessness, then rush the latest menace in a foolhardy and ultimately futile gesture. (Each time he met another pathetic fate, the other Metal Men commented on his bravery. To them, it seemed that "bravery" was expressed as pathological, self-loathing suicide.)
Tina would act like an unpredictable woman, forcing Doc to remind her that she was, in fact, not one.
One or more of the Metal Men would die horribly, to be rebuilt in a later issue. (The very first story killed off the entire team.)
Did I mention that Tina was really a robot? And not a girl?
Just another day at the office for Tin.
The Doc and Tina relationship got pretty sick. Doc kept promising to ship her off to the Museum of Science (or, as I prefer, Museum of SCIENCE!!!). This he eventually did, but they sent her back because the patrons complained.
Museum goers are a tough crowd.
That's because the Museum of SCIENCE!!!, when gifted with a metamorphic, self-aware work of unparalleled genius–which could stretch itself thinner than a human hair and was capable of pleasuring others in ways of which human women had never dreamed–could think of nothing better to do with it than to lock it in a glass coffin and demand it to stand very, very still. And they were dissatisfied when it began to mope.
I can hear the families now:
"Mommy! That robot lady is crying!"
"Well, naturally, Jenny. She's a sentient being put on eternal display in an enclosure slightly larger than herself. Now, eat your ice cream while you appreciate her endless, living hell."
I know that rationality was not the order of the day here, but it occurred to me that if one was a scientist who had committed to donating one's fabulous platinum robot to the Museum of SCIENCE!!!–and had, in a previous story, built a second model without those pesky human behavioral traits–one would really be an asshat to give them the crying one.
That's Doc Magnus, inventor and asshat.
Only 37 more times. This issue.

Nearly all proprietors in Bradbury will ultimately need to evict one of his Bradbury renters. Eviction Procedure in Bradbury means to make use of legal methods to compel a tenant to leave the landlord 's Bradbury apartment if they will certainly not do so voluntarily.
There are several factors a landlord could need to evict, including the Bradbury tenant not paying lease or breaching his lease. Often a Bradbury property manager as well as tenant merely could 't view eye to eye on numerous points such as repair works or late charges, and the property owner desires for the Bradbury tenant to leave yet the tenant will not go voluntarily, so the proprietor is compelled to begin the eviction treatment.
When a property owner discovers himself in this kind of situation as well as desires to file an eviction fit to force the tenant to leave, it is critical to follow all pertinent eviction laws specifically and fill out the legal services kinds and other papers properly in addition to precisely. If this is refrained from doing appropriately, your eviction request may be refuted and you will certainly need to start over again, however if you do everything properly and also show your case, the tenant in Bradbury will certainly be legitimately forced to leave in addition to you will certainly have the complete support of the neighborhood constable in removing him if he still refuses to go.
To try to avoid the cost and irritation of having to evict a tenant, create out all of the situations or conditions that would certainly create you to ask a tenant to leave and include those in your lease contract so you will certainly have a solid foundation based on violation of contract must you have to file an eviction suit. By authorizing the lease arrangement with these stipulations consisted of, the tenant is consenting to all these terms and conditions when they authorize the lease.
Each property owner will certainly have varying requirements. Some might enable pets in addition to some could not. Some may be strict on the number of residents in addition to some will not care. Criterion items are ruining the home or occupants doing any type of kind of criminal activity on the rented building such as substance abuse or sales. Unless it includes discrimination or various other lawfully prohibited activities, each proprietor can set forth "dos as well as wear 'ts " for Bradbury renters renting his home.
When you have actually pertained to the verdict that you have no choice however to evict a Bradbury tenant law, collect with each other all of the paperwork you will certainly have to give evidence that the tenant has breached his lease. The lease arrangement is the most solitary crucial document. You will certainly also require other written papers you could have offered to the tenant, consisting of letters you have composed him notifying him that his actions are inappropriate or notes you have actually made specificing any type of oral precautions.
When you have actually come to the verdict that you have no alternative yet to evict a Bradbury tenant law, gather with each other all of the paperwork you will certainly need to offer proof that the tenant has actually breached his lease. The lease agreement is the most solitary crucial document.
Make duplicates of any kind of relevant canceled examinations if nonpayment of rent is a problem. If a tenant has taken part in prohibited activity or activities that produce matters with neighbors, make certain you have any type of appropriate duplicates of police records or notes or letters from neighbors, etc.
You will certainly then have to ready an eviction notice Bradbury which explains the factors you are waging the eviction as well as give the tenant a target date whereby he have to abandon the leased facilities and also provide it to the tenant.
One sort of eviction notification is a California Notice to Abandon. This is the easiest type of eviction notice in addition to uses when the tenant breaches the lease contract somehow which has actually been stated in the lease agreement such as nonpayment of rental fee or having added residents relocate.
You will require to go to the court in your county to arrange for the eviction notification to be officially supplied (in legal services terms, offered) to the tenant. When you go to the court, you will certainly require to have many copies of your eviction notice and also be prepared to pay a tiny filing charge.
The county clerk might submit them and also give you 2 sets of certifications: one for you as well as one for the tenant. In a lot of states the clerk will provide you a file called a Summons to serve upon the tenant. If he feels he has been mistreated, a court date could likewise be established at that time to offer the tenant his right to argue against the eviction.
The following action is to serve the main files which were provided to you by the court clerk to the tenant. In some conditions it may additionally be delivered by certified mail, however in order for the solution to be approved by the court using this approach, the tenant needs to authorize for shipping, showing that he did get it.
A qualification of solution of the main papers on the tenant will certainly be found on the summons, astride the summons, or as its very own record. Make certain that this has been properly loaded out as well as that the person which offered the tenant, whether it was you, the constable 's replacement, or the private process-server, has authorized it, after that bring it to the region clerk to be submitted.
If the tenant does not respect the files and also voluntarily leave then you will require to go to court. When you are in court, provide your records as calmly in addition to rationally as possible.
If you dominate in court, a Writ of Belongings will be provided which proceeds the process of the eviction. A day will be set for the tenant to vacate the rented premises, and you need to prepare for a sheriff 's replacement to be present on that date in situation the tenant still continues in rejecting to leave or is difficult.
Please note that each state has different policies on the variety of days the tenant has before he should leave the properties. Ensure you verify this timeframe prior to you offer an eviction and ready notification. It might delay the eviction procedure in addition to you could have to begin the entire process again if you offer improper paperwork.
When you have come to the verdict that you have no alternative but to evict a Bradbury tenant law, gather together all of the paperwork you will certainly require to give evidence that the tenant has actually breached his lease. You will then need to prepare an eviction notification Bradbury which mentions the factors you are moving on with the eviction and also give the tenant a deadline by which he should leave the usinged properties as well as supply it to the tenant.
You will require to go to the court in your county to arrange for the eviction notice to be officially supplied (in legal services terms, served) to the tenant. A court day might likewise be established at that time to offer the tenant his right to say versus the eviction if he feels he has been mistreated.
A day will be configured for the tenant to abandon the leased properties, and you have to arrange for a constable 's replacement to be existing on that day in case the tenant still continues in declining to leave or is difficult.


The World Cup is in full swing and Wimbledon fortnight begins on Monday.
Major sporting events like these can cause a headache for employers as staff request time off to watch or, worse still, pretend to be ill and take a sickie.
In this podcast Tom Scaife, a partner and employment specialist with the commercial law firm Baines Wilson, looks at how employers should deal with these issues and how to avoid related discrimination claims.

Motion of a weakly conductive viscous jet accelerated by an external electric field is considered. Nonlinear rheological constitutive equation applicable for polymer fluids (Oswald–deWaele law) is applied. A differential equation for the variation of jet radius with axial coordinate is derived. Asymptotic variation of the jet radius at large distances from the jet origin is analyzed. It is found that the well-known power-law asymptote for Newtonian fluids with the exponent 1/4 holds for more general class of fluids, i.e., pseudoplastic (shear thinning) and dilatant (shear thickening) fluids with the flow index between 0 and 2. Dilatant fluids with the flow index greater than 2 exhibit power-law asymptotes with the exponents depending on the flow index. Results can be applied for the analysis of viscous polymer jets in the electrospinning process.

Q: How can I test if my iterations are running infinitely? Good evening,
I wanted to do an iteration using R with the following code:
a<- 2
f <- function(x){
  x <-1
  f <- a*x
  x <- f
}  #function is hereby defined

# iterations
while (x<3){
  f
}

The function f should start out with the value x = 1. then a*x becomes f and f is the new value for x. This whole loop shall run as long as x < 3, however I get stuck in an infinite loop because I just cannot figure out how to assign variables in iterations...could somebody maybe help me?
Kind regards and thanks in advance for every comment!

Q: Probability of getting a binary sequence of length $M+N$ where first $r$ digits contain $k$ $1$'s A binary string containing $M$ $0$'s and $N$ $1$'s (in arbitrary order, where all orderings are equally likely) is sent over a network. What's the probability that the first $r$ bits contain exactly $k$ $1$'s?
My attempt: I'm trying to find the number of strings that contain $k$ $1$'s and $(r-k)$ $0$'s among the first $r$ bits. Assuming the first $r$ digits already have $k$ $1$'s and $(r-k)$ $0$'s, the way to arrange them would be $\frac{r!}{k!\ (r-k)!}$. Corresponding to each of these the remaining digits can be arranged in $\frac{(M+N-r)!}{(N-k)!\ (M-r+k)!}$ ways. The total number of binary strings would thus be
$$\frac{(M+N-r)!\ r!}{(N-k)!\ (M-r+k)!\ k!\ (r-k)!}$$
This can be divided by $\frac{(M+N)!}{M!\ N!}$ to get the answer.
Is the answer correct? And is there an alternative approach?

A: Yes, there is an alternative approach.
Assume we have a bag with $M$ zeros and $N$ ones. the binary string is chosen by taking one of the items in the bag at random and appending it to the string. It is not hard to see that each valid string is generated with proability $\binom{M+N}{N}^{-1}$
So, what's the probability that among the first $r$ bits, we have exactly $k$ ones?
$$p=\frac{N(N-1)...(N-k+1)\bullet M(M-1)...(M-r+k+1)}{(N+M)(N+M-1)...(N+M-r+1)}\bullet \binom{r}{k}=\frac{M! N! (N+M-r)! r!}{(N-k)!(M-r+k)! (N+M)! k! (r-k)!}$$
What do you know, we got the same answer :)


Each year, Americans welcome an average of 70,000 refugees to the U.S. Whether they come from Tibet, Sudan, Iraq, Burma, Congo or another part of the world, all refugees share a similar journey. Jesus himself was a refugee having to flee to Egypt when Herod decided to kill all children under two years old. God has a huge heart for the alien and foreigners living among us, so we must reach out to refugees.
Refugees differ from internally discplaced persons (IDPs) in that they do not have the choice to remain in their home country. Refugees flee their country to save their lives. They run because of religious, ethnic, social, or political persecution, often losing beloved family members along the way. Many refugees then spend years and sometimes decades in sub-standard refugee camps. There are over 15 million refugees living in the world today. Around 180,000 (less than 1%) per year of all refugees get the chance to leave a camp. Many will live and die there!
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees screens refugees several times to verify their story, health, priority to be relocated, and then places them into a lottery system. Once a refugee "hits the jackpot", they are resettled in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia or other country that receives refugees. The ones that are sent to America are passed along to one of about 11 refugee resettlement agency such as World Relief where they will get assigned a case worker who is responsible for them during their first 90 days in the US. $900 is given to each refugee to help them pay for food, clothing, rent, utilities, start-up costs, etc. These refugees must begin the process of building a new life in America.
Global Frontier Missions works alongside refugee resettlement agencies and helps recruit volunteers to help with a variety of programs to ensure that these refugees become contributing members of our society and start becoming self-sufficient.
Global Frontier Missions finds working with refugees a strategic initiative for fulfilling the Great Commission. Many of these refugees are coming from countries where it is very difficult to obtain a visa to serve as a missionary. While the majority of these refugees will never return to their native countries, most still have family and other ties through which the gospel may flow back to their homeland. Our desire is to make disciples that can in turn go and make disciples of their own people. We also reach out to immigrants and international students.
Only about 1% of all refugees pass the application process and allowed into places like the US.
There are about 15 million refugees worldwide.
The US settles between 30,000 to 70,000 refugees each year.
80% of all refugees living in the US have never been invited into an American home!

CLARE ladies' football referees will have to learn the rules of the game if they are to hang on to their whistles in 2013. They are to be hauled in to take part in a refresher course on the playing rules before the new season starts.
Cork 1-19 Clare 0-11 Although Cork defeated Clare by 11 points at Doneraile in the opening round of the TG4 Munster Senior Championship on Friday evening, this was a much-improved Clare performance compared to last year's encounter.
Doora-Barefield 1-5 West Clare Gaels 0-2 In the Division 1 U-12 Ladies' Football final replay played in a wet and windy Kilmihil on Saturday night, the girls from Doora-Barefield had the better of West Clare Gaels. Saturday's match was a replay following a 3-5 apiece draw the previous Tuesday evening in Kilrush.
The Clare lady footballers will play Galway in Birr on Sunday at 1.15pm in the NFL Division 2 semi-final.

Q: How can i document dictionary keys for a functions argument? I am trying to figure out how can I provide type hints for a dictionary argument being passed to a function without using Dict[str, str] as that doesnt provide what the keys will be.
I have tried two approaches so far, one with using typing_extensions so that I can have compatibility with 3.6, and also with pydantic, but I cant get the hits to show.
Consider this example code:
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Some(TypedDict):
    """keya is some key"""
    keya: str
    """another_key is another key"""
    another_key: str

def some(a: Some) -> None:
    print(a.get('keya'))
    return None

some({'keya': 'key', 'another_key': 'nonething'})

As expected, the type hints for the some function shows the type Some, but not its keys.
What I am trying to accomplish is 2 things.

*

*Provide key hints when the function argument is a dict (most important)

*Generate documentation with sphinx so that the keys reflect in the documentation.

Edit
As on of the comments pointed out, I can accomplish this with **kwargs to some extent, but that is not the intention. Setting **kwargs does not give me type hints either.

A: I think in this case, it might actually be better to file a feature request/submit a pull request to your editor improving the quality of its type hinting. Similarly, with sphinx, you could submit a pull request that ensures that the docs either properly link to the definition of Some or include a more detailed description within the function signature itself.
After all, the problem you're facing is a limitation of your editor/sphinx, not with Python or type hints, and you might get better long-term results if you tackle the problem at the source.
You may also get better results if you use the "constructor" of Some instead of passing in a dict literal. At least for me, doing this gets me full key hints for Some when using PyCharm. Not sure if that'll also be the case for your editor:
some(Some(keya='key', another_key='nonething'))

Note that doing Some(...) will actually just return a plain old regular dict at runtime, so this shouldn't lead to any difference in behavior.
It could also be worth trying to do:
x: Some = {
    "keya": "key",
    "another_key": "nonething",
}
some(x)

...to see if your editor might give better hints with that form.

A: I have somewhat narrowed down to a possible solution using the following code. It meets most of the requirements:

*

*mypy type checks passes

*shows keys

*documentation also shows keys and types

*The main caviate to this solution is that mypy thinks the value is optional because of a default value so the solution is not quite complete.

Using the validate_items function, I can validate that the values are there. Please see the comments on the code snippet and offer suggestions.
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
from typing import Union

class Some(TypedDict):
    keya: str
    another_key: str

def validate_items(v: dict) -> None:
    for key, value in v.items():
        assert isinstance(value,str), '{} is required'.format(key)
        # Would love to pull the type of a key from the Some class here or
        # would love to put the validation in the Some class itself

def some(a: Some={'keya': '', 'another_key': ''}) -> None:
    """[summary]

    Args:
        a (Some, optional): [description]. Defaults to {'keya': '', 'another_key': ''}.

    Returns:
        [type]: [description]
    """
    validate_items(dict(a))
    print(a.get('keya'))
    return None

In the screenshot, I can see that mypy is complaining about the None value which is expected, and in the popup help, we can also see the keys that are required in the dictionary being passed along with the type that is being set to it.
The solution feels quite hacky, and would appreciate any corrections to make it more pythonic.


Georgetown's John Steinberg and University of Arizona Professors Joseph L. Mills and David G. Armstrong represented the USA in the historic 15th biennial Diabetic Foot Symposium held in Malvern, UK. "This symposium was both memorable and extra special for us at the Southern Arizona Limb Salvage Alliance", noted Dr. Armstrong "This was the first major international meeting that I lectured at two decades ago and it was wonderful to introduce it to my friends John and Joe, who made such a great impact this year." The three Americans outlined topics ranging from the history and future of podiatric surgery in limb salvage to complex vascular reconstruction married with cutting edge technology in regeneration. The meeting, which was co-chaired by Ipswich's Gerry Rayman and Manchester's Andrew JM Boulton launched some three decades ago when Boulton and then co-Chair Henry Connor invited speakers from the UK and abroad to participate in what was then a novel subject.

Health advisory issued for Black Lake
Officials warn against contact with algae
Crystal Nelson
cnelson@thealpenanews.com
ALPENA — Health officials with District Health Department No. 4 are keeping an eye on an algae bloom in Black Lake near Onaway, which has been identified as a cyanobacterial algal bloom, meaning it produces toxin.
Environmental Health Director Scott Smith told the health department board on Tuesday testing from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy identified it as a cyanobacterial algal bloom, but water samples taken recently were negative for one of the toxins the cyanobacteria can produce.
"We're just going to keep an eye on it, and if we have to put out an advisory, we'll do that, and contact our beach owners and make sure people don't come into direct contact with the blooming algae," Smith said.
The Health Department issued a public health bulletin on Monday, advising people to avoid direct body contact with algae in the lake or water that is blue-green and to keep pets away from such water, as well.
Water where algae is present can also appear to have a green sheen or look like spilled paint on its surface. The algae layers may contain flecks, foam, or clumps.
The bulletin also warned people not to swallow the lake water.
Based on the current information, people and their pets can continue to enjoy recreational activities on the lake, such as boating, tubing and fishing, where algae blooms are not visible. The bulletin also states people and their pets should rinse off with fresh water if they come into contact with algae.
Smith said the algae bloom has somewhat dispersed. However, changes in the weather could cause the algae bloom to redevelop and become more significant.
Medical Director Joshua Meyerson said algae bloom toxins can make a person sick if the algae is ingested, causing an upset stomach, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. He said that, if enough of the algae is ingested, it becomes a neurotoxin and can cause seizures.
He said the cyanobacteria can also irritate a person's skin if they have waded into the algae.

Why Should Trump Disavow Racists, If the GOP Cannot?
The latest fad in GOP circles is that when a GOP candidate, an elected official, or some GOP connected notable makes a racist crack, dig, slur is to issue a pious, indignant statement denouncing the racist quip or act. The new GOP fad was on ample display when Trump refused to denounce former Klan Kleagle David Duke's endorsement, nor any other support from the Klan. Yes, he stared down, a supporter wearing a Klan lettered tee shirt at a campaign rally, but that's somehow not quite the same as a full throated tirade against the Klan. Trump won't do that. But then again why should he? Fad, and hand wringing knocks against Trump for mute silence on the Klan from the GOP, won't change the fact that Trump is simply taking his cue from his party.
11 Key Considerations for Prize-Driven Group Diet Programs
Since research has proven financial incentives and penalties to be highly effective in motivating weight-loss, there's been an uptick in the number of organizations looking to capitalize on the cash-driven dieting idea and add their spin to an already crowded marketplace. The trick for employers seeking to bolster workplace wellness programs to give staffers an extra source of motivation to shed a few (or more) pounds, is determining the legitimacy of the organization in question. Choosing poorly could make the entire endeavor a bust or, worse, could land you in the heart of a scam.
From DACA Recipient to Rocket Engineer
Henry Yi (not his real name) is studying mechanical engineering and dreams of working for NASA. The 19-year-old UC Berkeley student says he couldn't have done it without his parents – not only because of the sacrifices they made to bring him to the United States, but because they helped him apply for a program that has changed his life.
Yi, who declined to use his real name to protect his family, says it was his parents who first told him about Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The program, announced in 2012, grants undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children a reprieve from deportation and access to a work permit.
How To Fill Out Your Own Green Card Application
Becoming a legal immigrant is a very exciting process filled with many possibilities for the future. A door opens up that gives all the benefits of a U.S. Citizen without the right to vote; freedom to travel home without worrying about reentry, a right to work and all the legal protections of a U.S. citizens.
This process can also be quite costly. USCIS processing fees range anywhere from $0 to $1,000 per form while lawyer fees average $3,000 to $4,000. Wouldn't it be nice if you could use that money towards something more exciting, like a honeymoon or vacation or to open a savings account for your future children? There are a lot of ways to spend $4,000 but first let me show you how to keep it in your wallet.

Today We Naturalize, Tomorrow We Vote
SAN JOSE – Hoang Truong says becoming a U.S. citizen gave him "the key" to unlocking a better life.
"When we become a U.S. citizen," he said, "we have the key — the key to the higher education door, the key to freedom, the key to vote, the key to do whatever we want."
Truong, who came to the country seven years ago from Vietnam, said he was watching TV one day when he saw there was an upcoming free workshop in San Jose to help people apply for citizenship. With help from the local organization Asian Law Alliance, Truong and his family were able to get fee waivers so they didn't have to pay the $680 naturalization fees.

5 Ways Predictive Analytics Make or Break a CRM System
Making MoneyLeave a comment
For a sales-driven organization, it isn't the size of your data that matters, it's what you do with it. No longer a discretionary luxury, predictive analytics are now the name of the game for those who seek to utilize customer metrics in a meaningful way to establish a tremendous competitive advantage, gain notable market share and significantly boost bottom lines. In fact, according to the 2015 State of Sales Report published by Salesforce Research, "smart selling fueled by predictive analysis is expected to jump 77% among high performers," throughout 2016. Not only that but high performers are also four times more likely to use predictive analytics.
Obama Should Battle Harder than Ever for Scalia Successor
GOP leaders led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell predictably wasted no time in swearing that anyone who President Obama named to replace the late Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia had zero chance of being confirmed. McConnell saw no contradiction in the fact that he had no trouble voting to confirm Supreme Court Anthony Kennedy to the high court in 1988, Reagan's final year in office.

Social, emotional lessons make a difference in local schools
BETH SHILLER
Tribune Chronicle
bshiller@tribtoday.com
Saying it's not enough to focus on just educational fundamentals, the Ohio State Board of Education is calling for implementation this school year of new Social-Emotional Learning standards for students — but several local schools are ahead of the curve, having utilized the theory for years.
The state board of education adopted the new program for social-emotional learning, or SEL, standards, titled, "Each Child, Our Future" in June, calling for it to be implemented this new school year in all grades K-12.
Ohio Department of Education Superintendent of Public Instruction Paolo DeMaria says it's not enough to focus on fundamentals such as English, math, or science; education also needs to support the development of SEL and integrate it as a component of learning.
The Trumbull County Educational Service Center says most Trumbull County districts have had SEL programs in place for years.
And most schools in Mahoning County say they also already are utilizing a SEL platform known as PBIS for positive behavioral interventions and supports, which is a part of social emotional learning platform.
PBIS, in fact, is used in all 22 districts under the Mahoning County Educational Service Center umbrella, and several added the County Boards of Mental Health as well as counseling agencies, social workers, communication tools and social / emotional counselors to support those with more critical needs.
"The Mahoning County Educational Service Center has been working collaboratively with district superintendents, principals, guidance counselors and teachers to meet the needs of each child holistically, which is at the center of the strategic plan. The plan stresses three core principles: equity, partnerships and quality schools, each of which the MCESC is committed to helping districts achieve," said Traci Hostetler, Superintendent of the Mahoning County Educational Service Center.
The MCESC works closely with Youngstown State University and Eastern Gateway Community College to continue SEL into young adulthood.
Districts, like the Youngstown City School District, have received grants to improve the culture and climate which includes social-emotional aspects. Youngstown Rayen Early College added a mediation room to aid with SEL in addition to reading U.S. Rep Tim Ryan's book about mindfulness. The Rayen Early College Middle School has been integrating SEL for about five years and the rest of the district began using it three years ago.
The state is calling for increased focus on the "whole student" largely to prepare students for lifelong interactions in society.
"Human beings are social creatures. That means in society, successfully interacting with other people is essential to the effective functioning of a community, a workplace and even a family," said DeMaria in his superintendent's letter.
"Social-emotional learning improves children's mental health and helps them avoid risky decisions, make healthy choices and stay drug free. We need to be more specific and intentional about helping students acquire these skills and understand that they are important to future success.
In Trumbull County, Warren City Schools have been using SEL for more than a decade, according to Superintendent Steve Chiaro.
"We began with the PK-five grades to help them manage emotions, become good listeners and resolve conflicts, then we brought it to the high school three years ago to help build a sense of community, work on active listening skills and develop empathy and goal setting," said Chiaro. "It's the same concepts, just catered to each level."
Warren devotes 25 minutes a day after lunch to direct SEL curriculum. This is the first year the district is dedicating time for all grade levels, not just PK-5 and high school.
Kate Keller, TCESC Public and Community Relations Supervisor, said the districts she covers have been using SEL for quite some time as well.
"Some school districts have invested more money into specific curriculum," said Keller. "An urban district may have more students with SEL needs than say a rural district or different types of SEL needs."
Chiaro and Dick agree that they have seen measurable improvements in student actions since adopting the programs, including declining suspension and expulsion rates at all grade levels.
"When something happens, we react before we respond. This is designed to teach self-regulation and produce clear thoughtful outcomes," said Chiaro.
SEL programs are implemented by 240,000 educators serving in 3,500 schools and educating more than 1.7 million children.

Title: Russell L. Reilly Head Coach of Men's Basketball
Email: jeffreyb@middlebury.edu
Alma Mater: Vermont '82
Years at Middlebury: 23
Brown enters his 23rd season as the head coach of the men's basketball program at Middlebury in 2019-20. He led the Panthers to six-straight NCAA Tournament appearances (2008-13) with a combined record of 147-26. In 2010-11, the Panthers advanced to the NCAA Final Four, setting a new school record with a 28-2 mark. He was named both the NESCAC and NABC District Coach of the Year after the record-setting season.
Brown led the team to 24 wins en route to its first NESCAC Championship in 2008-09. The Panthers also made their second-consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament, as Brown was selected as both the NESCAC and the NABC District Coach of the Year.
He now owns a career record of 375-204 over 22 years at Middlebury, owning a higher winning percentage than any other coach in the program's history. Brown tallied his 300th career win on January 16, 2016 in a 73-61 victory over Bates, while his 400th career triumph occurred on January 15, 2019 in a 103-92 win at Albertus Magnus. In 2015-16, he guided the Panthers to their third NESCAC title and an NCAA Tournament Second Round appearance. During the 2016-17 campaign, he led the program to the second-most wins in its history with 27 (27-4) and hosted two NCAA Tournament weekends, falling in the NCAA Quarterfinals. The Panthers gained an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament in 2017-18, advancing to the second weekend of the tournament and finishing with a 21-7 record. Last winter, the Panthers ended the season with an 18-8 mark and garnered an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament. Brown has been honored as the NESCAC Coach of the Year five times in his career (2009, 2011, 2012, 2016, 2017).
A 1982 graduate of the University of Vermont, Brown scored more than 1,000 points and earned induction into the University's Athletic Hall of Fame during his Catamount basketball career. He is 10th on the all-time scoring list (1,336 points), second in steals (170), eighth in assists (428) and eighth in field goals made (526). While playing at UVM, Brown averaged 12.7 points and 4.1 assists per game. As a junior, he was an All-New England Honorable Mention selection, and he was elected as a co-captain for his senior season.
After graduation, Brown spent three years (1982-85) as the top assistant basketball coach at Manhattan College in New York, where he built his reputation as a first-rate recruiter and strategist. Three student-athletes he recruited for Manhattan were named Metro Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year.
Brown returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach for nine years (1985-94). At Vermont, his responsibilities included advance scouting, player development, on-the-floor coaching and game-day preparations. Brown took over the reins of the Bates College program in 1994 as the Bobcats' head coach for three seasons.
He is an inductee into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame as well as the Rockland County (N.Y.) Hall of Fame.

"Thunderhead" drawn on common themes from Tom Marshall's emotional backpack and Phish's stylistic palette. Lyrically we visit the silent prison of miscommunication and lack of genuine connection, with the longing to break free of these patterns ultimately unfulfilled. "And when with them all my words for you, have softly sublimated too" suggests a sugar coating that stands only as a bridge to the ultimate destination for the mismatched in the world: breaking apart . (Although on a brighter note it is certainly the coolest – if not the only – usage of "sublimated" in rock and roll history). Each of the verses have a parallel form with three lines voicing the pain of estrangement, and a final line containing potential resolution emerging as beams of light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
Musically we are perhaps offered a window into the future of tension and release, one endowed with a muted elegance, simplicity, and sophistication. Phish transforms the solitary acoustic framework of "Thunderhead," breathing life and depth into the song's water images. Certainly a departure from the more excited tension and release structure that defines so many of Phish's earlier offerings, "Thunderhead" nevertheless expresses its own interlocking duality. Lyrical images alternate between dark and light, and the musical structure mirrors this pattern, with ominous, stormy metaphors giving way to a breathy, lilting, and suspended melody.
"Thunderhead" was one of two Round Room songs (along with "Pebbles and Marbles") that made their debuts with the Trey Anastasio touring ensemble before the album's release. "Thunderhead" premiered on 5/1/02 at Philadelphia's Indré Studios, a taping with a live audience for the nationally syndicated public radio program Live at the World Café. Outside of Phish, Trey has played the song seven times solo, acoustic. Trey's solo interpretations do not vary in any significant way from each other; whether for the song's own merits or for the outstanding music around it, check out Trey's tour opening performance on 5/21/02 in Seattle, 6/1/02 in Vegas, or 6/22/02 at Merriweather Post Pavilion.
"Thunderhead" debuted on the Phish stage on 1/2/03 during the hiatus-ending holiday run, at Hampton. Renditions of the song by Phish are more or less similar; among the six appearances in 2003. Be sure to check out 7/23/03 (between "Antelope" and "Slave"), 7/29/03 (emerging out of a blistering "Crosseyed and Painless"), or 12/1/03 on the 20th-anniversary run. After a nineteen-year gap, "Thunderhead" returned to the stage at their annual Labor Day weekend run at Dick's on 09/03/22. This version was most likely inspired by the storm the night before, resulting in a two-hour delay and "one long-ass set."

Blog Why China has us all excited
Why China has us all excited
Mike Hendey 22nd November 2019 Announcement, Blog
With the launch of our new tours to Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu and Yangshuo, we got the thoughts of our very own China 'nut', Mike Hendey.
MSG Tours are thrilled to be branching out with some of the most unique and varied study and cultural itineraries to China to be found anywhere. Compiled with a passion to push students outside their comfort zone, delve into community projects and tick off those must-see locations, we're confident that you won't find anything that comes close. Mike explains why…
I didn't take much persuading to sit down and explain in a little more detail why we're launching such an extensive programme of tours to China. Having lived in the country for 3 and a half years, I have unfortunately become 'that guy' who forever wants to share unsolicited stories on adventures no one else cares about; until now!
Through the wonders of the travel industry, the stars have aligned, and I've finally been granted a reason to shout, rave and wax lyrical about this incredible country.
When I say China, I'm often met with a confused look and the question, "but why China?" I used to feel a little defensive about this but as time has worn on, I actually think it's one of the major charms of the place. It's not what people are expecting, and it almost never disappoints for the lucky ones who were intrepid enough to give it a go.
Having worked in the school travel business for a long while now, I can wholeheartedly endorse China as the perfect place to take your young minds.
To give some context to my own experience, I began my adventures in Chengdu in the lush green of the southwest. I was a teacher at Yandaojie middle school and looked after grades 1 and 2, with ages ranging from 11 to 13. The class size, rather intimidatingly, was rarely below 50 students and we spoke very little of the others' language, which led to some interesting situations.
I later moved south to Guangxi province, where I settled as a tour guide in the incredibly beautiful town of Yangshuo. Here I chaperoned wide eyed gap year students and younger, educational groups. It opened my eyes to the highs and lows of touring groups in China; from the trials and tribulations of ordering food to the elation of being understood in broken mandarin.
After a stint back in the UK, I return to Yangshuo and worked with International School students, guiding programmes in, among others, Inner Mongolia, Hangzhou, Sanya and Beijing. We focused on social development through pushing students outside of their comfort zone and encouraging an exposure to different cultures and ideas. It was an incredible time for me and really opened my eyes up to how much students in the UK stood to gain from following in these footsteps.
So when I began with MSG, I decided I wanted to be part of a team that developed China tours that went beyond the guide books and standard attractions. That's why I'm thrilled to bring these itineraries to market. Including Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Xi'an and Yangshuo, with plans to expand further, we offer China trips that benefit from genuine, first-hand experience.
Explore the hustle and bustle of truly giant cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, studying the human impact of these sprawling metropolises and the investment needed to sustain them. Learn history first-hand as you volunteer in an old people's home and learn from those who lived through the cultural revolution. Hike through hidden tea plantations in Hangzhou or sleep under the stars in the countryside of Yangshuo as you look at China's rural development. The list of historical, cultural and geographical studies on offer in China is endless.
If I were considering the brave (but infinitely wise) decision to take my school group to China, I'd want to know I'm talking to an expert who has lived and breathed the culture, climate and cuisine. So let MSG Tours help you find your perfect combination of sights and adventure for your next study tour to China.

"吧"有缓和语气的作用 多用于祈使句,也可以用于是非问句,还可以用于句中停顿的地方 1. "ba" is used to ease the tone and usually used in imperative sentences, yes-no questions or pause part of a sentence. 1.
快回去吧,这是一个祈使句,所以呢用"吧" "kuai hui qu ba" is an imperative sentence, so a "ba" is used here. 把门关上吧!也是个祈使句,所以也是用"吧"。 "ba men guan shang ba!" (close the door) is also an imperative sentence, so a "ba" is also used here.
比如说第一个例子 昨天很热吧?第二个:你学过汉语吧?这都是一个,两个是非问句 For example, "zuo tian hen re ba?" (Was it hot yesterday?) Example two: "ni xue guo han yu ba?" (Did you learn Chinese?) They are yes-no questions.
应该注意的是,"吗"和"吧"都可以用于 是非问句,前面我们说过了啊,但是意思是不同的 It shall be noted that "ma" and "ba" can be used in yes-no question. We have talked it in previous. However, their meanings are different.
用"吧"的句子含有揣测的意思 所谓揣测就是不能肯定,带有猜测的意思 The sentence of "ba" has the meaning of speculation, which is not sure.
用"吗"的没有这种意思,我们比较一下。 The sentence of "ma" is not. Let us compare them.
比如看第一个例子:我们明天考试吗? 这是一个是非问句,明天考不考试是不知道,所以才问 Example one: "wo men ming tian kao shi ma?" (Is there an exam tomorrow?) This is a yes-no question. It is unknown for the exam of tomorrow.
第二例:我们明天考试吧? 这是什么意思呢?就是猜测明天考试,但是呢,又不能 Example two: "wo men ming tian kao shi ba?" (Will we have an exam tomorrow?) It is a speculation, which is not sure.
肯定,所以呢才问一问。 Therefore, here comes the question.
所以它们的意思呢,一个是 完全不知道,一个是呢,知道一点,但是呢不能肯定,所以呢 Hence, the first one means that people does not know anything about tomorrow's exam. Another one means that people know a little about tomorrow's exam but not sure of it.
后者用"吧",前者用"吗"。 Therefore, the former is used with "ma" and the latter is used with "ba".
"吧" 也可以用在句中停顿的地方。 A "ba" can be used in the pause of a sentence.
所以这个"吧"用在停顿的地方。 The "ba" is used in the pause of the sentence.
进退两难 这个连,这三个"吧"都是用在停顿的地方 "jin tui liang nan" (a dilemma). These three "ba" are used in the pause of the sentence.
