Shopping the USA offers tremendous savings on a wide variety of products, but did you know you can save even more with flash sales? These short, sometimes private sales let you save big on the products and brand you want.
Here's how they work: Flash sale websites often buy unsold inventory from large retailers and even directly from manufacturers. Typically, this inventory may include last season's goods or current models that a manufacturer could not sell.
In some cases, the inventory may also include great new goods for which the manufacturer is trying to raise awareness. Typical flash sales discount the retail price of merchandise by more than half, so you can save if you know where to look.
Because flash sale sites buy the goods at a significant discount, they are able to sell them for much less than you might find on a retail website, or even from a discount chain! You have to shop quickly, though; since flash sale operators only buy a limited a limited quantity, they can sell out very quickly.
When you've found your deals and are checking out, simply enter your MyUS address and suite number at checkout. We'll then receive your flash sale items in our Florida facility, inspect your purchases to make sure they are all correct, consolidate your items into more efficient packaging (to save you on international shipping costs), and ship home to you.
We ship to nearly every country on the globe, including but certainly not limited to Korea, Israel, Spain, Singapore, New Zealand, Kenya, Yemen, Qatar, Philippines, Jamaica and Canada.
Tanga: Tanga offers dozens of new products every day, sometimes introducing new products throughout the day. Tanga products are typically lower-priced, and a mix of big-name and no-name merchandise. You can typically find items on Tanga that include large electronics, small electronics, t-shirts and costume jewelry.
RueLaLa: One of the most popular flash sale sites with MyUS members, RueLaLa carries a wide array of fashion and name-brand household items. Whether you're shopping for a plush new comforter or a trendy sweater, you can likely find it at RueLaLa for a low price.
One Kings Lane: Stocked with vintage and one-of-a-kind items, One Kings Lane is an upscale venue where you can truly save. Inventory changes frequently, but you can always find interesting and beautiful items here.
Remember, flash sale sites tend to sell out quickly, so shop often. Some of these sites may require a membership, but membership is typically free.
When you find great deals on flash sites, you can get your finds shipped almost anywhere with MyUS.com. Not yet a member? Sign up to start shopping the US today!

The Office of Management and Budget has tapped Stacie Higgins as its new manager of the government-to-government Quicksilver portfolio and Grants Management Lines of Business initiative.
Higgins, who began work yesterday, replaces Kamela White, who has resumed her duties in OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
As the Quicksilver portfolio manager, Higgins will ensure collaboration among federal, state and local governments to deliver services to citizens. The e-government projects she will oversee include Disaster Management, E-Vital, Geospatial One-Stop, Grants.gov and Project Safecom.
Geospatial One-Stop and Grants.gov are the furthest along. Disaster Management has made recent progress. E-Vital and Project Safecom are the two projects the furthest from full implementation.
For the Grants Lines of Business effort, Higgins must help agencies develop a consortium approach to creating a method for managing grants throughout government. Under the consortium approach, agencies will form pods with one agency acting as the IT hub for a set of other agencies [see GCN story].
Before coming to OMB, Higgins was a budget analyst for the Energy Department. Higgins has a bachelor's degree in economics and a master's of business administration from West Virginia University.


Its budget time at Holyrood again and as you would expect in a parliament of minorities, it's a fraught process.
The various parties are hard at work trying to thrash out a deal that reflects their priorities and politicians are anxious to get the best result for their communities.
In these tough financial times, the choices are even tougher and the stakes even higher.
The whole country wants us to the significant economic challenges ahead and the eyes of the country will be on us over the coming weeks as the budget is debated.
I believe that this budget has to be about growth and jobs and it is the Scottish Government's responsibility to come up with plan to address these key issues.
That is why I am keen to see money provided for apprenticeships and youth employment schemes, like the Future Jobs Fund. Youth unemployment is not a price worth paying.
And that is why I am pressing for our regeneration budget to be re-instated – that money is vital to attracting business and jobs to Inverclyde.
So far, the Scottish Government has been found wanting on all these issues.
Indeed, the 70 per cent cut to Riverside Inverclyde's funding, and the reduction in money for James Watt College, actually harms our future economic prospects.
The budget passed the first hurdle this week in the Scottish Parliament but John Swinney has been given a clear message.
If we are going to protect the most vulnerable communities from the reduction in public spending, jobs and youth employment have to be made a priority.
In Inverclyde, we know what happens when politicians look the other way as communities struggle with cuts and unemployment.
Inverclyde still bears the scars of the Thatcher years and we can't allow that to happen again.
When it comes to the vote, Inverclyde's priorities will be my priorities.


People have been told that 'brain training' will make them not only better at playing certain games but smarter in general. However, evidence indicates that brain plasticity is specific to the acquired skill. The search for neural mechanisms of transfer of training-induced benefits needs to build on this evidence.
Lindenberger, U., Wenger, E., & Lövdén, M. (2017). Towards a stronger science of human plasticity. Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 18, 261–262.


Alices Sleepwalking Wonderland Syndrome is named after the illusory world in Lewis Carrolls novels. It changes peoples perception of their body, space and surrounding objects.
In this case, potentially fatal cancers in the patients brain are pressing the brain region that controls vision and producing its own symptoms.
The man claimed that the computer icon would hover between him and the computer for about 10 minutes and then disappear to his right.
He also noticed that he was not feeling well. He had severe headache, often felt nausea, and also experienced pain in strong light.
After being transferred to the Department of neurology, the man underwent magnetic resonance imaging, which revealed that he had a high-grade glioma in his brain, a rapidly spreading and lethal brain tumor.
Doctors believe this is the first case of Alices sleepwalking wonderland syndrome, caused by tumors in this way.
According to the reports authors, this condition is usually associated with epilepsy, drug use, migraine, mental illness or brain infections.
Dr Sylvia Kurtz of New York University told Life Science, but cancer can damage certain parts of the brain and exert pressure on them, depending on the location of the tumor.
The 54-year-old was diagnosed with Alices rare sleepwalking wonderland syndrome when explaining his vision impairment to doctors.

Q: Using a lambda expression with match I am trying to use a lambda expression to help me return a value but I am getting an error that says

the function takes too many agruments, or is used in a context where a
  function is not expected

.
Here is the sample code:
match isTrue with
| true -> 1
| false -> (fun () -> 2) //<----Error

So is it not possible to use a lambda expression here, or am I missing something?

A: Being new to F#, I assumed that:
(fun () -> 2)

would automatically execute in the match expression. I just simply need to write the code needed as in
match isTrue with
| true -> 1
| false ->
    let something = 48 + 3
    something + 4

Planning a trip to Adelaide - save on our deals on Business and First Class flights to Australia. Enjoy both great savings and comfortable luxury flight when you travel to Adelaide, Australia. Call Us Now 888-347-7817.
Adelaide's reputation as a low-key, unassuming city leads many travelers to make the mistake of overlooking Adelaide's many delights. The city is actually very cosmopolitan, preferring to show its style with a European sensibility of quality, understated elegance and openness. Charming Adelaide differentiates itself from other metropolitan areas with beautifully preserved buildings, ample green spaces and inviting public landscapes. If you are already interested in traveling to Adelaide - get your discounted business class flights and save.
A town that produces the refined, decadent flavor of Haigh's Chocolates is sure to have other edible delights just waiting to be sampled, and Adelaide's food scene does not disappoint. Many of the city's best-known restaurants line colorful Gouger Street, from Concubine Chinese Restaurant and the Indian fare of The Thali Room to the seafood-rich Loft Oyster and Wine Bar. Outlying areas are equally worth exploring, including the swanky suburb of Belair where Windy Point's dishes earn many accolades. Also just outside the city, Magill Estate Restaurant's incredible views of the foothills and surrounding vineyards complement its contemporary and fresh cuisine and extensive Penfolds wines.
Adelaide is surrounded by incredible landscapes. These features provide enticing recreation and sports that are just as perfect for adventure-seekers as they are for more relaxed travelers. Kayaking the Torren River and picturesque mangroves, sailing the bay and touring the Barossa Valley wineries can be as luxurious or as low-key as you want. If you plan to visit the region often or have business contacts in the area, renting an Adelaide Oval corporate suite for the season is a great way to make a big splash. Suite-holders enjoy a year's worth of cricket and football games and have preferential booking for the venue's rugby games, Test Matches and concerts as well as access to the Audi Stadium Club. The Art Gallery of South Australia, the Botanic Gardens, the South Australia Museum and the State Theatre Company are also worth a visit and give visitors an opportunity to connect with like-minded travelers and locals.
Spectacular river views and sumptuous rooms are the hallmark of the InterContinental Adelaide. The hotel is one of Adelaide's few towers, offering executive suites and floors, private limousines and secretarial services to guests. Chic Clarion Hotel Soho dazzles with a roof-top pool, Soho Spa and fine dining. Just outside of the city in the Adelaide Hills, the Thorngrove Manor Hotel is full of Old World charm and is a unique way to luxuriously experience South Australia. For breathtaking ocean scenery, nearby Kangaroo Island's Southern Ocean Lodge blends lush guest suites and personalized service with views of the bay and grazing kangaroos.
Adelaide is much more oriented to its festivals, recreation and cultural treasures than its retail establishments, but its posh shopping scene continues to grow. While in town, don't miss a visit to Tiffany & Co., Oroton, Colette Hayman, David Jones and Max Mara along the welcoming North Terrace.


Happy belated Halloween – from Batman!
Batman (aka Hampton Garland) made one of his rare appearances last night – only a few images were captured of the elusive half dog, half bat.
…..waiting to save the day!!


For installing batteries in tight, confined spaces, the patented design of these connectors is perfect. They're easy to disconnect for quick, convenient changing and a plastic cover eliminates the risk of electrical shock. Fits post-type battery terminals (will not fit on threaded posts).
Ideal for quickly removing the trolling motor wiring from your batteries, these connectors clamp onto the battery when pressed down and release when pulled up. Don't waste time unscrewing connectors from your battery terminals as these connectors are simple to install and use.
The bare trolling motor wire is attached to the battery connector by using a two screw clamp. Once attached, the battery connectors are set over the battery terminal post and pressed down. When the connector is pressed down, an internal ring tightens securely around the post. When the connectoris pulled up, the internal ring releases and the connector can be removed.
The battery connectors fit 1 - 14 gauge wire and have a max power rating of 800 amps.
Easy to connect wires to connectors and very easy to put on and off of battery. Absolutely love em.
These battery connectors are awesome - sure makes it easy to install/remove trolling motor batteries if needed. Thanks!
Great experience. Lots of info. Easy ordering.
This product is much better than the press on terminals I had before.
Nobody likes to mess with the battery…but these things are amazing!! So easy to put on and take off the batter terminals, and, WITHOUT TOOLS! I love these things!!!! Wish I had found these a long time ago!


I am writing this on the morning of Good Friday so I am in the throes of feeling the grief at Jesus being betrayed and left by his disciples to die on the cross. I am feeling the hatred that He must have felt during the Way of the Cross. I am feeling lonely, rejected, and just downright sad.
I gave my condolences to a young friend after his great-grandfather passed away by saying "I'm sorry", which sparked a conversation between the 2 of us. We spoke of what part our faith plays in our grieving.

Edward O. Thorp was a mathematics professor, author, hedge fund manager, and blackjack player. A pioneer in modern applications of probability theory, Thorp s bestselling book, Beat the Dealer, mathematically proved that the house advantage in blackjack could be overcome by card counting.
Some reviewers are missing something: this is still an essential purchase. Much of the detail can't be found elsewhere. There are ideas here which can still be used to devastating effect on occassion. Most modern texts dwell on the dry detail of card-counting: Thorp has that kind of visionary mind which is always searching for the big score. In addition it reads like a thriller (and you would'nt believe some of the stuff Thorp could'nt put in!). The card-counting systems are obsolete now, but I very much doubt anyone would make it as a pro counter without familiarizing themselves with the material here. Its worth buying for the sake of completeness if you have a collection of Blackjack books.
'I was thrown out of my first casino in spring of 2000. In the years since then I've kept playing and kept winning, in wigs, under aliases, from behind fake glasses. I've been chased across casino floors; followed outdoors by crazed goons with drawn weapons; pursued in a car at high speeds; and, placed wrongfully under arrest. Casinos continue to provide my entire income, along with free rooms, Champagne, and, most important, a mission in life. The heat, this business of getting thrown out, hasn't kept me away from the action at all; it's the very force that keeps me coming back'.
"Repeat Until Rich" is the hotly awaited true adventure of how an average Joe in a dead-end spreadsheet job took to the road as a member of a blackjack card-counting gang taking millions of dollars from casinos across the US. Josh was an Ivy League graduate who grudgingly started a regular life before a chance meeting at a party changed his life forever. This is a brilliantly written memoir first and gambling book second - a universal tale of an everyday guy's unexpected exit into a mysterious and dangerous underworld from which there's no going back. It is a story about finding meaning in a crazed ongoing battle far from the dull and comfortable confines of the 9 to 5 world.
"Princes of Darkness" delves into the murky and secretive world of the professional Blackjack player. In a three-year period, Carl Sampson and his team took the casinos for a seven-figure sum and now he reveals how they did it. Carl Sampson started out working a croupier in the gaming industry but - frustrated at being overlooked for promotion - he determined to take them on and beat them at their own game.
Princes of Darkness recounts the story of how he developed a system, put a team together, found a wealthy backer and went to work. As well as giving the reader a glimpse of this fascinating twilight world, Carl Sampson also explains in detail his Blackjack systems, including: a definitive guide to card counting; how to master the complex art of shuffle tracking; and how to implement evasion techniques.
One of a select band of the world's greatest professional cheats, Richard Marcus toured the gambling cultures of Las Vegas, London and Monte Carlo, winning huge sums of money from casinos by elaborate sleight-of-hand tricks with gaming chips. He and his gang were great tacticians, backing up their moves with psychological set-ups to convince pit bosses that they were watching legitimate high rollers getting lucky, while in fact their casinos were being robbed blind. Here, for the first time, Richard Marcus tells his outrageous tale of a lifetime spent cheating casinos. Richard Marcus opens up the doors into the mysterious, exciting and glamorous world of the high rollers with this absolute page-turner.
In the mid-1970s, Ian Andersen wrote Turning the Tables on Las Vegas, the classic book on casino comportment. As the first book to broach the all-important consideration of how to get away with getting the money, Turning was the book that launched a thousand blackjack careers. After its publication, however, Andersen disappeared from the scene. Where did he go? The answer is spelled out in this long-awaited sequel, Burning the Tables in Las Vegas--Keys to Success in Blackjack and in Life.
This book presents basic strategy and expected value for almost every unusual rule variation ever offered. Examples of rules covered: no hole card to dealer, doubling down on three or more cards, splitting when there is a bet riding that will go on one hand and not have to be matched with a like bet on the other hand, early surrender, five-card hands can be turned in for a half win, over/under, multiple action, double exposure. Basic Blackjack also contains interesting tables, such as: probabilities of final dealer totals by upcard; probability of untied naturals by number of decks; and which hands have a positive expected value, by dealer upcard. Wong's writing stye is clear and easy to read.
This book offers variety of insights to blackjack and provides information for all levels of players. It is a great reference book and a good start off book for the beginner. For the proficient player, it offers a great level 2 system. But, then again, if you're good, you already have this book, don't ya?


Electronic Engineering is one of the largest and most sophisticated branches of engineering. Its application is so wide that it affects our daily lives in various ways. Electronics has not only made our life easier but enjoyable too. It has provided to us the equipments like Television, Radio, Computers and Telephones, radar engineering, and satellites etc. The technology of electronics and communication helps us to see, hear, and communicate over vast distance and do things faster. Electronics has a major role in improving productivity in industries like oil, energy, agriculture and so many other important sectors of economy.
An electronic engineer works in group to design, fabricate, produce, test and supervise the manufacturing of complex products and systems, i.e., Electronic equipments and components for a number of industries including hospitals, computer industries, electronic data processing systems for communication and in defense etc. Electronic Engineers work with microprocessors, fiber optics, and in telecommunication, television, radio etc.
The Department was established in the year 2012 – 2013 to start a 5-year credit hour B.E. degree program. The Department is affiliated to Mansoura College Academy. The undergraduate programs of the institution will be granted from the ministry of Higher Education at the graduation year of the first patch.
The focus of the B.E. degree program is on Electronic and Wireless Communications. The curriculum is so designed as to give adequate emphasis on the digital processing of information for efficient communication over noisy channels. In tune with the above objective, the syllabus features core courses like Electronic circuits, Microwave components and circuits, communication switching systems, DSP, Photonic devices and systems, Computer networks, Communication Electronics, giving a balanced coverage of the theory and practice of modern Electronic and Communication Engineering. The core program is supplemented and further reinforced by a well-chosen set of elective courses.
The Department is headed by professor and lecturers who are experts in their own disciplines, aims at educating and training students with sound knowledge and awareness in the latest trends in Electronics and Communication Engineering.


The government have recently decided that they need to pay attention to parents who drink too much the same as it does to those who misuse illegal drugs. Research carried out suggests more than 90,000 babies in the UK live with a problematic drinker and approximately 2.5 million children are living with a hazardous drinker. A hazardous drinker is someone whose alcoholic intake could have harmful consequences for themselves or others.
It has been noted that the earlier alcohol help is given to parents the more chance there is of turning their life around and protecting children. Children of alcoholics are four times more likely to be addicted to drink and there is a higher risk of drug and gambling problems, therefore the quicker parents are treated the better for the children.
Once parents have been found as having an alcohol problem they then need to be treated. An example of somewhere which caters for people with alcohol problems is TimetoStop. Time to Stop is a leading London based alcohol rehab referal centre offering expert treatment this is the type of place where people need to go in order to get better once it has been found they have a problem, they need expert treatment.

Art allows for there to be a different story, an individual voice or image, so marginalised and discriminated groups can be seen and heard. It has the benefit of being able to provide these groups an alternative narrative that they can be able to relate to.
How do we make the future more safe and attractive for marginalised and discriminated groups than what now exists? Can art inspire people to act as advocates for human rights causes? Can art be used in more direct ways to appeal to governments and open up possibilities for new thinking?
Pressing and persistent social problems, conflicts and closing civic spaces in Tanzania, calls out for more intelligent, effective, and innovative solutions. Current methods are not reaching far beyond constituencies that are already sympathetic and engaged.
Voice Tanzania in collaboration with Hivos' Resource Of Open Minds (ROOM) East Africa project wishes to support creatives through this call for proposal to learn from new and more dynamic methods of communicating about human rights.
ROOM EA is a project that supports creatives' contribution to diversification of dialogue, debate and dissent in their societies. It supports young creatives, like artists, designers, filmmakers, vloggers etc., who create independent cultural and media productions which are diverse in their identities, mediums, content, channels and audiences.
Idea replication/expansion/scale-up – Minimum duration of 12- 24 months and for a grant of €25,000 to €200,000.
For this call, Innovation means anything that has not been tried before in a particular context and/or with a particular target group. If you have a new idea, method or approach, you are welcome to propose it in your application. Innovation also means using tried and tested influencing, mobilisation, meaningful engagement methods but for new purposes and with new target groups, audience and themes.
Often the most marginalised and discriminated are those who may be vulnerable due to multiple reasons. Groups that are affected by more than one factor are more vulnerable to discrimination and an emphasis on learning from programming to address this phenomenon is encouraged. Therefore we have a strong preference for projects that intend to work with more than one target group and demonstrate their interdependent relationships.
Representing communities of creative and cultural producers engaged in audio-visual content creation such as: creative spaces, groups of artists, music studios, hubs, cafés, art spaces, art galleries, independent production houses, networks of artists and producers, online platforms, collectives, co-working spaces focusing on the creative industry.
Producing content/work that aims to show alternative viewpoints on big issues affecting the four marginalised and discriminated groups mentioned above. This content/work should enhance public debate through enabling alternative viewpoints to mainstream societal narratives.

Tidal Flooding
Tidal flooding in the South Jersey area is set to be slightly worse than usual this year, due to rising sea levels and a potential El Nino pattern, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, citing a new federal report. Areas further inland and Philadelphia are also seeing more flood days each year, the report shows. Models show that an El Nino effect is expected to develop this year, between now and April 2018, and that would compound tidal flooding in coastal areas.

Prescription Drug Monitoring
Pharmacists and doctors in New Jersey and Pennsylvania will now be able to check whether customers and patients on both sides of the states' border are picking up painkiller prescriptions at multiple sites, or doctor-shopping. Experts hope this could be an important step forward in identifying and preventing opioid addiction. The Philadelphia Inquirer has the details. Separate but related: Read Lynda Cohen of BreakingAC on the increase in Atlantic County drug-related deaths.

NJ is home to 35 sites where two PFAS chemicasls top new state limits
Researchers have identified 35 New Jersey sites where drinking-water tests in recent years reveal contamination with two toxic PFAS chemicals exceed limits now being implemented by state officials. Environmental Working Group, a national advocate for stricter limits on the chemicals, compiled PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) testing data from local water systems, an academic survey, and military authorities throughout the country, and presented it in a national map that was first published in July 2018.

After road construction on the Pan-American Highway revealed a mysterious whale graveyard in Chile, researchers scrambled to figure out why so many of the mammals died in the same spot. After ongoing construction threatened to disrupt scientific studies at the site, Smithsonian paleontologists along with its 3D Digitization Program Office used 3D scanners to take a virtual "snapshot" of the site.
That snapshot — which is also being 3D-printed — is allowing researchers to continue their investigation of the site long after the fossils were moved to a local museum.


The wild nor'easter that sent waves crashing onto Larchmont's Manor Park on March 13 left $150,000 to $200,000 in damages to sea walls, walkways, benches and other concrete. That was the preliminary estimate shared with the Larchmont Manor Park Society board on March 22, according to reports from Karin Sherman, the board president.
After previous storms took out a number of giant trees, the park undertook a tree management program, beginning in 2006.
Rocks tossed up by the surf now line the path at the entrance to Manor Park. Photos by Karin Sherman.
The surf knocked over the large rock slab that serves as a park bench.
There was also substantial soil erosion along the edges of the seawalls. Large rocks and debris were deposited many yards in from the edge of the wall at the Park Avenue end of the park, further damaging the landscaping.
Waves eroded soil and tossed rocks over the sea wall.
In 2004 the Manor Park Society raised over $1 million to fund renovations and create an endowment for long-term capital projects and annual maintenance. Among the anticipated projects were regular repairs to the beach walk-out point, which is particularly vulnerable to winter storms.
Entire sections of the beach walkway were destroyed in the storm.
"Every year we budget for repairs for that part of the beach for maintenance, but this year the storm did tremendous damage to the concrete structure on a scale that we have never experienced before," said Ms. Sherman.
The Manor Park Society is exploring various ways to cover costs of repairs, including an appeal to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In the meantime, it's also making an appeal to its members and other supporters of the park.
"With springtime here and the warm weather on its way we are anxious to get the park back in order for visitors and the beach repaired for its members," said Ms. Sherman.
Upon return from a business trip, assessing the future of 76 large Lombardy poplars, of which one toppled over during a fierce storm and subsequently killed a driver, I only now read the response of 'Oh my Trees!'.
My first observation is that our trees are such an intricate and important element in the landscape fabric, that they deserve better attention, care and understanding then that they often receive. After all, without trees we cannot exist as a species. And by the way, trees are always out in the open, they are our allies and if we write about them we do not necessarily have to address under a pseudonym.
Oh my Trees! asks 'where are the Luddites amongst us in this community'. It intrigues me in what context the Luddites relate to tree issues. Called a 'Luddite' in contemporary language describes a person who is wary of or dismisses modern technology and in respect of modern day's tree management, nothing can be further from the truth. The technology is all there especially when it comes to tree risk management. I have been using, I might add with a high success rate, digital probing equipment to assess the internal condition of many trees in the Larchmont community and indeed at various places around the world to advise clients accordingly how to manage their trees. During the last storm many public trees were lost, but Local Authorities tend to shy away from modern survey methodology when it comes to managing roadside trees, on argument of, 'once we know the true condition of a tree and if it fails, we can no longer call it 'an Act of God' which means that public liability insurance will not cover any damages. Hence many trees are still standing up with undetected structural problems and these trees are the first to fail under extreme weather conditions such as recently experienced. Oh my Trees! also asks why then do trees fall over in the woodland areas that are lacing our communities? Well, they fail because of the overall urbanisation process. Woodland areas are often functioning as [temporary] water catchments at times of excessive rain because of the fact that the urbanised and build up areas cannot absorb all the surface water and thus it runs off to the woodlands, thereby saturating soils and loosening root systems.
I am responding to the last letter following on from an article about Manor Park, because Karin Sherman notes that the park sustained a lot of structural damage, but as result of earlier implemented tree management recommendations the very shallow rooting trees did not fall over; sure there were broken branches. I have been first hand involved in assessing the trees in this park and focused on the rooting conditions of these trees. It is all about improving growing conditions so that trees can anchor themselves better and the annual soil treatments appear to work.
I am very concerned about the degree of tree loss after this last storm and what degrading effect this has upon our landscape.
Maybe there is room to organize some public workshops around trees, so we can indeed learn from the last experience and understand trees better in order to live with them in harmony and develop better strategies for their management. If you are interested to help organize a tree discussion, please be my guest.

Q: Einstein notation - Diagonal matrix This may be very easy, but I'm not seeing it.
I am using Einstein notation to write a proof of a theorem in classical mechanics. I have a $3\times 3$ matrix $I$. After a diagonalisation process I reach a matrix $I'$, which is diagonal. I am tempted to write $I'_{ij} = J_i\delta_{ij}$ but of course in the RHS I have a summation. How do I get rid of that summation and still use a Kronecker delta to show that if $i\neq j$ then $I'_{ij}=0$?

A: We could define the following tensor:
$$ \delta_{\mu\nu}^i = \begin{cases}
1, \ \mu=\nu=i\\
0, \ \text{otherwise}
\end{cases} $$
Then the diagonal matrix $I'_{\mu\nu} = \delta^i_{\mu\nu} c_i$. In addition, it is possible to define $\delta_{\mu\nu}^i$ using the Kronecker delta as: $\delta_{\mu\nu}^i = \delta_\mu^i \delta_\nu^\epsilon \delta_\epsilon$, where $\delta_\epsilon$ - the vector with all elements are equal to one.
One could notice that $\delta_\epsilon$ (as $\delta_{\mu\nu}^i$) depends on the chosen basis.


Goa International Airport is more popularly known as as Dabolim Airport. It is an international airport located in the city of Dabolim in Goa. To get to School of Holistic Yoga and Ayurveda Goa (SOHYAA) you will need to fly into Goa Dabolim airport, which serves international charter and domestic flights.
Airport transfers to SOHYAA can be arranged for the cost 1800 INR each way. If you choose to be picked up from the airport we would like to have your arrival details ideally 4 weeks before the start of the course.
If you are arriving into Goa before the given schedule of the course, we will not be able to accommodate you early at the retreat as we will likely be full from the previous group, nor will we be able to provide extra days at the end of the retreat.
The other option is to fly a scheduled airline to a gateway city such as Mumbai (formerly Bombay), New Delhi, or Bangalore and change to a domestic airline for the journey to Goa Dabolim, which is a 1-hour flight from Mumbai and 2.5 hours from New Delhi and Bangalore. Jet Airways fly from Heathrow and have excellent connections to Goa in India.
There are excellent domestic airlines from the gateway cities which you can book online, try the following, making sure you are paying the fare for a non-resident of India or have your travel agent book the flight for you.
If you are already in Goa and making your own way here by taxi you will need to tell the driver that we are on thesmall road going towards the right towards Junaswadda on the Manderam Ashwem Road.

Airbnb Banned in NYC? What Actually Just Happened
People who list their apartments on the site can now face steep fines.
Despite being Airbnb's biggest and most lucrative market, not everyone in New York is excited about the home-sharing website's presence in town. Last week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a law that means people who list their apartments on short-term rental websites like Airbnb can be fined up to $7,500 throughout the state, although NYC is the most significant market. That's just the latest of many challenges to Airbnb in the city, too: In 2010, city officials made it illegal to rent an entire apartment (as opposed to a room or section) for less than 30 days. But this most recent move affects Airbnb so severely that the company has filed a lawsuit against NYC mayor Bill DeBlasio, New York state attorney general Eric Schneiderman, and the city of New York itself, claiming that these new restrictions will do serious damage to its business.
When it comes to New Yorkers themselves, locals are mixed about whether they want Airbnb in their buildings and neighborhoods. In the New York Post, one op-ed argued that hotels in the city average $270 a night, which is out of range for many people who want to visit, and that using Airbnb gives visitors a chance to explore less-affluent neighborhoods and spend their tourism dollars there, spreading the wealth that the hospitality industry regularly brings to the city. But others argue that Airbnb's vastness makes listings hard to regulate, citing horror stories like a customer in Queens who alleged his Airbnb was also being used as a brothel and an East Village woman who rented her place out on Airbnb only to discover it had been damaged when the temporary tenant threw a huge party and didn't clean up afterward. Many people echo sentiments like those expressed in Venice, where locals have said that landlords prefer to charge high nightly Airbnb rates for apartments, rather than make them affordable for residents to stay in, thus changing the dynamic of the city and favoring visitors over locals. That's particularly ironic considering that Airbnb's tagline is "live like a local."
Although Airbnb has vowed to fight New York City's tough new legislation, the Big Apple isn't the only place where the company is facing pushback. Citing overcrowding, Iceland has restricted the number of days people can list their pads on home-sharing sites, and New Orleans and Barcelona are among the cities that fine hosts or Airbnb itself for running afoul of hospitality laws, such as not paying hotel taxes or failing to provide fire extinguishers and other safety items.
Despite the criticism, though, the company has continued to thrive and to offer one-of-a-kind rentals in places like Abbey Road Studios and Dracula's castle in Transylvania. And a new partnership with Qantas can even earn travelers frequent-flier points that can be used toward a flight to Australia.
While Airbnb and its sibling sites like HomeAway and VRBO are facing regulations around the world, it's clear that these companies won't be going away anytime soon. If anything, these regulations are responses to the fact that such sites have been overwhelmingly popular—New York City alone has seen $1 billion change hands through sites like Airbnb, which makes it clear that such home-sharing programs have plenty of life in them yet. And the company has been open to changing policies when users spoke out—for example, after some of the "horror stories" came to light, Airbnb moved to refund hosts for damages made by renters and put controls in place to verify users' actual identities. It's more likely that home-sharing sites will continue to adapt rather than disappear completely.

Workers dismayed by Trump's federal hiring freeze
Trump had raised the possibility of a hiring freeze during the campaign
Workers dismayed by Trump's federal hiring freeze Trump had raised the possibility of a hiring freeze during the campaign Check out this story on detroitnews.com: http://detne.ws/2ko61Ft
Associated Press Published 7:07 a.m. ET Jan. 24, 2017
President Donald Trump(Photo: Evan Vucci / AP)
McLean, Va. — Federal worker Greg Guthrie had held out hope after Donald Trump's election to president that his professed advocacy for the American worker would extend to the federal workforce, too.
That hope diminished after Trump on Monday issued an executive order implementing a hiring freeze across the federal government, with exceptions only for military, national security or public safety personnel.
So while Guthrie wasn't shocked to learn Trump had imposed the hiring freeze, he was disappointed.
"I guess there's a presumption that a lot of people in government are not needed," Guthrie, an information specialist with the Department of Commerce's National Technical Information Service in Alexandria, said in a phone interview. "But we're pretty lean right now, anyway. Now to say that there will be no new, young workers — that's pretty draconian."
Trump had raised the possibility of a hiring freeze during the campaign. At a news conference Monday, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said the freeze ensures taxpayers get effective and efficient government and said it "counters the dramatic expansion of the federal workforce in recent years."
Statistics from the Office of Personnel Management, though, show that the number of executive branch employees hasn't been this low since 1965, and that the number of employees has stayed more or less steady in the last 15 years.
Guthrie, who is also union officer with the National Federation of Federal Employees, said he didn't understand how Trump could conclude that a hiring freeze was a good idea even before his Cabinet nominees have been approved.
"As a federal worker, it's kind of deflating to be felt like you're unnecessary," he said.
The union's president, Randy Erwin, said in a statement Monday that a hiring freeze is a "terrible idea."
"Freezing federal hiring sounds good on the campaign trail, but it does not make government smaller like some people think it does," he said. "All it does is lead to the hiring of more federal contractors which tend to cost taxpayers more than federal employees and are less accountable."
The full effect of a hiring freeze is unclear. According to OPM, the federal government hired 221,000 workers in fiscal 2015, the most recent year for which data is available.
The number excludes uniformed military personnel. But roughly a third of those hired were military veterans, who enjoy hiring preferences in the federal government.
Erwin also pointed out that the Department of Veterans Affairs currently has 2,000 vacancies and said "it is the American veteran that is going to suffer" because the agency is now barred from filling those vacancies.
Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Virginia, whose district includes many federal workers, said Monday that the government actually needs to increase its capacity to handle certain issues, like cybersecurity.
"This Executive Order … will have a depressing effect on our ability to recruit and retain the next generation of federal workers," he said. "This is a far cry from President Kennedy's effort to inspire a new generation to enter public service."
Republican Barbra Comstock, who also represents parts of northern Virginia in Congress, announced her own opposition to the hiring freeze and said "past hiring freezes in both Republican and Democrat administrations have cost the federal government money in the long run."

Speculation at international exchanges is no conservative concept at all but rather risky. Playing in the fields of futures and options with strict deadlines is even riskier. For these reasons the risk involved in these kind of transactions is high. In order to get the risk factor partially under control, most of the activities take place on a day-trading basis, i.e. no positions are held in the market over night. A loss position will be stopped out or will be liquidated before market close in most cases. A profit position will be left in the market as long as it is profitable, in many cases shortly before market-close. In case the position gets highly profitable the trader will hold under certain circumstances the position in the market overnight in order to accumulate additional profit for the next trading day. This exceptional risk is taken in an extraordinary situation and under the condition that good profits have already been made before market close so that normally not more than these profits are at risk at market opening the following day. Also, the trading is basically event-driven in order to profit from temporary market anomalies and is not an automated chart-signal trading which does not work good enough in the long run except for those who sell these software applications successfully. Here the prevailing philosophy is that the experienced trader Klaus Oldigs does all of the challenging job in undivided responsibility. The leading concept is to break the symmetry of average loss and average profit positions taking into account the costs (brokerage and exchange fees). Under this assumption it is possible to draw money out of the markets. The risk-control element results basically from the fact that no position is given into the market without a stop-loss order whereas profitable positions will be held until the trend reverses.


Saturn has more than sixty moons and several extensive rings – the inner moons and rings may be very young, perhaps not even predating Earth's dinosaurs, says a team of scientists. Saturn's icy moons and its rings could well be a modern adornment just 100 million years old, which in the world of astronomy means they are mere infants.
Matija Cuk, principal investigator at the SETI Institute, and colleagues wrote about their latest study and findings in the Astrophysical Journal (citation below).
Scientists have known about Saturn's rings since the 1600s. However, how old they are has long been debated. The simplest assumption is that they are primordial – as old as the planet itself is, i.e. over four billion years.
In 2012, however, French astronomers discovered that tidal effects – the gravitational interaction of the inner moons with fluids within Saturn's interior – are driving them into wider orbits relatively quickly.
This suggests that given their current positions, these moons, and presumably the rings too, are recent phenomena.
Dr. Cuk, together with David Nesvorny and Luke Dones, both from the Southwest Research Institute, used computer modelling to infer the past dynamic behaviour of the inner moons of Saturn.
Our own Moon, unlike those that orbit Saturn, does not have to share space with other celestial objects. All Saturn's moons' orbits slowly grow due to tidal effects, but not all at the same rates.
Sometimes, pairs of Saturn moons enter so-called orbital resonances – a gravitational phenomenon in which two moons that orbit around one planet are in a specific pattern.
These happen when one moon's orbital period is a simple fraction – e.g. ½ or ⅔ – of another moon's period. In such special configurations, one moon's gravity can strongly affect the orbit of another, making them more elongated and tilting them out of their original orbital plane. This can occur even when moons are small.
By comparing current orbital tilts with those predicted in their computer simulations, the scientists were able to learn how much the orbits of Saturn's moons grew.
They discovered that for a number of the most important moons – Rhea, Dione and Tethys – the orbits are less dramatically altered than previously thought.
Their relatively small orbital tilts suggest that they have not crossed many orbital resonances. This means they must have formed not far from where they currently are.
So, when were these moons born? Dr. Cuk and colleagues used the results of NASA's Cassini mission to help find the answer to that question. The Cassini spacecraft has seen ice geysers on Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons.
If we assume that the energy that powers these geysers comes directly from tidal interactions, and that Enceladus has a more-or-less constant level of geothermal activity, then the tides within Saturn are quite strong.
According to the researchers' calculations, these would move the moon by the small amount indicated by the simulations in only approximately 100 million years. This would date the birth of the Saturn's major moons, except for the more distant Titan and Iapetus, to the relatively recent Cretaceous Period, when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
If this result is right, then Saturn's rings could be younger than the peak of the dinosaur era, and we are lucky to witness them today, the scientists concluded.

New Russian TLD hits 800,000 domains mark
Kevin Murphy, April 5, 2011, 15:58:12 (UTC), Domain Registries
Russia's Cyrillic internationalized domain name, .РФ, received its 800,000th registration last night, according to the registry.
Coordination Center for TLD RU said this puts it 15th place in terms of European ccTLDs, pushing past the Czech Republic's .cz in the rankings.
That's pretty good going for an IDN TLD of interest primarily only to citizens of one country, a ccTLD which didn't exist until early November 2010, less than five months ago.
It's probably even larger than .co, which I believe has yet to reach the 700,000 domains mark.
The Russian Federation has almost 60 million internet users, 43% penetration, according to InternetWorldStats. That's about 10 times more than the Czechs.

This should put it in perspective.
Interestingly enough, before the launch of .РФ, most Russian domainers were 100% sure it wouldn't fly, and they were adamant that there was no need for this IDN cctld.

Nun In Heat: Book 12 Of 'dark Desires'
Autor: Daisy Rose
Editor: Boruma Publishing
Adopted and raised by the local church, it's no surprise that Lacey's growing up to be a God-fearing, law-abiding, goody two-shoes. Her practice of abstinence is well-known throughout her school, but behind closed doors, it's a different story altogether.
~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~
Lacey kept quiet as she saw Sister Clarice disappear into the confessional booth.
She was incredibly curious as to why the sister would head into the booth even though she knew there wasn't anybody on the other side of the panel to hear her confession.
Maybe she didn't want anybody to hear what she had to say? Whatever she was going to say, it would be between Sister Addie and God.
Lacey should really be leaving, she knew that. Yet, her feet was carrying her closer and closer to the booth, her legs no longer her own as she made her way to eavesdrop on the sister's confession. Carefully, she snuck into the booth, looking around to make sure she really was the only one there before sliding past the red curtains.
She crept into the unoccupied side of the confessional booth and paused when she heard moans from within the doors. She had expected to her Sister Addie's deepest, darkest secrets. Unbeknownst to her, she was in for so much more.
She squatted down below the panel that separated the two sides of the booth and slowly cracked open the panel.
Her eyes took a moment to adjust, but her ears were picking up louder moans now that the panel was open. It took a mere moment for her to realize that Sister Addie wasn't alone. There was someone in there with her and the moans sounded decisively male.

Criminal Lawyers Arizona: Limits on the Sixth Amendment
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Montejo v. Louisiana has been called an assault on the attorney-client relationship by criminal lawyers in Arizona and will greatly affect criminal lawyers in Arizona. Under Montejo officers may now interrogate defendants in the absence of counsel, even after charges have been brought and counsel has been retained or appointed, as long as the defendant waives his or her rights under Miranda.
Montejo, a 5-4 split decision, now overrules the precedent of Michigan v. Jackson, which once held that once a defendant requests the services of criminal lawyers in Arizona at an initial appearance in court, officers may not initiate any interrogation. This Article will examine Montejo and what criminal lawyers in Arizona can do in its aftermath to protect clients' Sixth Amendment right to counsel. The most important action that criminal lawyers in Arizona can take is to make sure their clients expressly assert their right to counsel by advising them to sign a formal "Assertion of Rights" form. The use of such a form should become a regular part of criminal lawyers in Arizona practice in the federal and state courts.
The Montejo Ruling
Jesse Montejo was arrested on charges of murder, and the court appointed an attorney to represent him at his preliminary hearing. The attorney was not present, however, and before he met with Montejo police visited Montejo at prison. Police asked Montejo to take ride with them and help them find the murder weapon. While the counsel waited for Montejo at the prison, police drove Montejo around and encouraged him to write a letter to the victim's wife expressing remorse for victim's murder. Once the letter was completed, police returned Montejo to the prison where he met with his attorney. Montejo was ultimately convicted and sentenced to death.
Montejo's attorney was incensed that the officers had removed his client for interrogation in his absence. The Supreme Court of Louisiana rejected the attorney's argument that the letter should be suppressed under Jackson, reasoning that Montejo has not requested counsel but was instead appointed counsel, which will have a drastic of on criminal lawyers in Arizona. Thus the Louisiana Supreme Court concluded that Jackson prophylactic rule barring any police officer-initiated interrogation once a defense counsel has appeared in court and requested counsel did not apply.
The Supreme Court agreed with Montejo that Louisiana's approach was not workable and would create an arbitrary distinction between a defendant who requests appointment of counsel and a defendant for whom counsel is appointed without any request. However, the Court, after ordering a supplemental briefing on whether the case of Jackson should be overruled, concluded that the protection the case of Jackson provides is unnecessary in light of other existing protections. This ruling is sure to affect the way that criminal lawyers in Arizona will defend their clients.
The crux of Montejo's reasoning in overruling the case of Jackson is that the anti-badgering rule can be triggered only by an express statement made by the defendant requesting the presence of counsel during an interrogation. Merely accepting the appointment of defense counsel or even requesting the appointment of defense counsel is insufficient to show a desire to not speak with police officers without counsel present. This means that defendants must clearly request the services of criminal lawyers in Arizona.

TENNIS: Williams continues to roll at Wimbledon
LONDON (AP) -- After a week filled by a headline-grabbing, off-court tiff with Maria Sharapova and a series of apologies stemming from a magazine profile, Serena Williams got back to doing what she does best.
LONDON (AP) — After a week filled by a headline-grabbing, off-court tiff with Maria Sharapova and a series of apologies stemming from a magazine profile, Serena Williams got back to doing what she does best.
Better than anyone in the world right now, really.
FAST START FOR SERENA: Serena Williams returns a shot to Mandy Minella during their first-round match Tuesday at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon, London. Williams cruised to a 6-1, 6-3 win. AP
Extending her winning streak to 32 matches, the longest single-season run on the women's tour since 2000, Williams began her bid for a sixth Wimbledon championship and 17th Grand Slam title overall with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over 92nd-ranked Mandy Minella of Luxembourg on Tuesday.
"You can call her pretty much unbeatable," Minella said. "She's playing better than ever. … Every time she steps on court, you can see why."
And yet Williams, the defending champion at the All England Club, and Patrick Mouratoglou, the French coach who's been helping her during the current 75-3 stretch that dates to the start of Wimbledon last year, both gave this assessment: There are areas of her game that could use some fine-tuning.
"After today, there's so many ways that I can improve," the No. 1-ranked and No. 1-seeded Williams said, "and that I'm going to need to improve if I want to be in the second week of this tournament."
Really? How about some examples?
"Come on," Williams replied, tilting her head and smiling.
Here was Mouratoglou's take after watching Williams win her first 17 service points and compile a 25-5 edge in total winners on Centre Court: "I mean, of course, not everything is perfect yet. It's interesting to see what we need to work on for the (coming) days."
They also agreed that she did not have too hard a time setting aside the events of the previous seven days, which included a lot of saying "I'm sorry" — face-to-face with Sharapova, at a news conference, in two separate statements posted on the web — over things Williams was quoted as saying in a Rolling Stone story. Williams made a negative reference in a phone conversation to a top-five player's love life (the piece's author surmised that was about Sharapova) and an off-the-cuff remark about a widely publicized rape case in the U.S. that was perceived by some as criticizing the victim.
"It hasn't been a distraction," Williams insisted. "I'm just here to focus on the tennis."
All in all, by easily winning her first match since winning the French Open on June 8, she helped restore order at Wimbledon 24 hours after a chaotic Day 1 that included the only first-round Grand Slam loss of 12-time major champion Rafael Nadal's career and a scary-looking, knee-twisting tumble by two-time Australian Open winner Victoria Azarenka during her win.
The highest-seeded player to depart Tuesday was No. 10 Maria Kirilenko, beaten 6-3, 6-4 by teenager Laura Robson, the first British woman to beat a top-10 player at Wimbledon in 15 years. Of the 10 local players who entered the tournament, Robson and reigning U.S. Open champion Andy Murray, last year's runner-up at the All England Club, are the only two left.
"It's hard for all the British players to come in here and, you know, lose first round," said Robson, who beat Kim Clijsters at the 2012 U.S. Open in the last match of the four-time major champion's career, "because you just feel extra disappointed."
Other women winning easily included No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, the 2012 runner-up to Williams; 2011 French Open champion Li Na; and No. 7 Angelique Kerber, who eliminated Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the U.S. 6-3, 6-4.
Nadal's straight-set loss to 135th-ranked Steve Darcis was still a main topic of conversation, and top-seeded Novak Djokovic called it a reminder that "you cannot take anything or anybody for granted."
"To be honest, I was expecting him to be a bit rusty on the court," Djokovic said. "In the opening rounds, obviously, it's very dangerous for top players who haven't been playing on grass. … On the other side of the net is somebody that is lower ranked, he has nothing to lose, so he's going for his shots."
As Djokovic dispatched 34th-ranked Florian Mayer of Germany 6-3, 7-5, 6-4, the only real hitch was when he slipped to the Centre Court grass. No. 4 David Ferrer, who reached his first Grand Slam final at the French Open but lost to Nadal, took two falls and said he felt a "little bit of pain" in his left ankle during a 6-1, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 victory over 101st-ranked Martin Alund of Argentina.
Sam Querrey, an American seeded 21st, lost 7-6 (6), 7-6 (3), 3-6, 2-6, 6-3 to 59th-ranked Australian Bernard Tomic in a match most noteworthy for what was said afterward.
Tomic ripped the ATP for barring his father, who is also his coach, from attending tournaments for 12 months because of pending assault charges and said he'll ask Wimbledon to let Dad attend his next match. Querrey, meanwhile, was miffed that Tomic got a chance to collect himself while being checked by trainers after saying he felt lightheaded in the fourth set.
"I knew he was kind of dizzy, but let's go; it's a physical game," Querrey said. "That's part of it. If you're dizzy or hurt, you've got to play through it. You can't just take breaks. That's not why I lost. But I felt I had some momentum there and that leveled the playing field for the fifth set."
It's been difficult for any opponent to things close against Williams lately, even if she claimed Tuesday, "I never feel invincible."
Her practice-makes-perfect pledge might give future opponents pause, starting with Caroline Garcia, who will face Williams in the second round for the second Grand Slam tournament in a row. After losing to Williams 6-1, 6-2 at the French Open last month, Garcia made these observations: "I need to work on my game to pose more problems for her next time" and "She hits hard."
Dealing with serves that came in at up to 121 mph (195 kph) — that readout on the speed clock prompted murmuring among impressed spectators — Minella managed to put only half of her returns in play.
"When I stood right in front of her, I looked at her and not at the ball at the beginning. Because it's just unreal; because I've never played against this type of player. It's a lot of stuff you have to deal with," Minella said.
"The strength and the heavy spin of her serve is definitely better than anyone else, I would say," Minella added. "It is different from what I've seen. But it's also because it's too good. … Many other players wouldn't reach the ball today."
Still, for a brief moment, Minella appeared to be getting into the match. A double-fault by Williams handed over a break that gave Minella a 2-0 lead in the second set. Serving at 40-30 in the next game, Minella was a point from a 3-0 edge.
That's when Williams got her act together, producing a cross-court backhand winner to get to deuce while taking 15 of 18 points to go ahead 4-2.
"In these moments," Minella observed, "she can raise her level."


The problem is with the ferrules (metal fasteners) used on the primary and secondary brake hoses located between the brake master cylinders and the hydraulic control units.
Fiat-Chrysler (FCA) tracked the issue to January 15th, 2018 when someone forgot to install the anti-corrosion plating.
The recall is scheduled to begin June 20th, 2018.

Messiahs Of 'Good Governance' At The Helm Of Incorrigible ICES In Sri Lanka
By Muttukrishna Sarvananthan –
Dr. Muttukrishna Sarvananthan
This is the third tranche of my expose` of the International Centre for Ethnic Studies (ICES, Colombo, Sri Lanka) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC, Ottawa, Canada) on research and financial frauds committed in a research and advocacy project co-funded by the Department for International Development (DfID, UK), IDRC, and William and Hewlett Foundation (California, USA).
Two present members and one past member of the Board of Directors and one past Executive Director of the International Centre for Ethnic Studies (ICES) Colombo are/were members of the Friday Forum, which in its own words is "an informal and self-financed group dedicated to democracy, good governance, human rights and the rule of law. It has for over five years sought to alert the public on issues concerning the rights of the citizen. We work on a non-partisan basis and have been critical of both the Government and Opposition."
The current chairperson of the ICES, Daneshan Casie Chetty – a retired Foreign Service personnel, is a member of the Friday Forum; Tissa Jayatilaka, Executive Director of the US-Sri Lanka Fulbright Commission, is a member of the Board of Directors of the ICES as well as the Friday Forum; Chandra Jayaratne, a member of the Friday Forum, was a recent past member of the Board of Directors of the ICES during whose tenure Mario Gomez was inducted as the Executive Director of the ICES in late-2012; a former Executive Director of the ICES (1999-2006), Radhika Coomaraswamy, was a member of the Friday Forum until recently.
Radhika Coomaraswamy is said to be a long-time friend of Navsharan Singh, Senior Programme Officer at the IDRC Asia Regional Office in New Delhi. Radhika Coomaraswamy was given an honorary title 'Emeritus Fellow' by the ICES in late-2014. Incidentally, most of the titles held by this retired international civil servant are honorary (Doctorate, Deshamanya – Pride of the Nation, and recently 'Emeritus Fellow' of the corrupt ICES), and not earned titles/qualifications. I would like to publicly ask the management of the ICES whether such bestowing to its former Executive Director was a quid pro quo for securing the aforementioned project from the IDRC.
None of my email communications about the ICES-PPID-IDRC project since December 2014 to the aforementioned two current members of the Friday Forum who are also members of the Board of Directors of the ICES (Daneshan Casie Chetty and Tissa Jayatilaka) have been acknowledged, let alone replied, except the very first snail mail communication to the chairperson Daneshan Casie Chetty which was just acknowledged but not replied to date (January 2016). This kind of indifferent behaviour is unbecoming of the messiahs of 'good governance' and does not bode well for accountability of the office bearers of non-profit institutions.
The members of Board of Directors/Governors/Trustees of non-profit institutions are accountable to the activities and finances of their respective organisations in the same way Directors of business companies are. Accountability and transparency should apply to the (honorary or paid) office bearers of non-profit institutions as well. Self-regulation should be the way forward for the non-profit sector in order to keep the State out of oversight of its activities.
I would like to remind the Friday Forum that the principles of 'good governance' should be applicable not only to the political society (government and opposition), but to the civil society (academia, faith-based institutions, NGOs, professional associations, etc.) as well, because both the political and civil societies are mostly funded by public money (domestic and/or external). Therefore, I publicly urge the Friday Forum to call for an independent civil society investigation into the research and financial fraud committed by the ICES / IDRC in the aforementioned project funded by external donors.
*Muttukrishna Sarvananthan (Ph.D. Wales, M.Sc. Bristol, M.Sc. Salford, and B.A. (Hons) Delhi) is a Development Economist by profession and the Founder and Principal Researcher of the Point Pedro Institute of Development (http://pointpedro.org), Point Pedro, Northern Province, Sri Lanka. He was an Endeavour Research Fellow at the Monash University, Melbourne (2011 – 2012) and a Fulbright Visiting Research Scholar at the Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University, Washington D.C.

Dr. Sarvanathan is learning the hard way, how some international organizations, their civil servants, as well as some organizations like the IDRC and CIDA function. Also, in regard to the "Friday Forum", one needs to not only look at their claimed objectives, but also who finances them. Many faceless businessmen are behind academics who may not have much voice. So the "forum" gives them a voice that they might have otherwise not had. In effect, UN, IDRC, CIDA, ICES, Friday Forum etc are essentially pressure groups representing various interests, and NOT good governance or justice and fair play.
Ramany K / January 28, 2016
Well said.Pay masters are the ones who call the tune,and the NGOs dance to the tune of the pay masters.Whether good governance or bad governance is determined by the pay masters.


The High Pointe Public Improvement District PID Number 1 Election has been canceled. The election was by acclamation.
In 1998, the residents of High Pointé subdivision petitioned to become the city's first PID. The special district, established by State statute, levies an additional assessment on all properties within specific boundaries.
The PID is governed by five to seven, at-large directors appointed by the Cedar Hill City Council to serve for a period of two years, subject to the terms and conditions of the City Council approved by-laws established for the district.

The Universe According to Jim Gates
by Rachel Kaufman
If we are living in the Matrix, Jim Gates will probably be the first one to figure it out.
The theoretical physicist, a professor at the University of Maryland and a visiting scholar at Dartmouth, has spent his entire career looking for supersymmetry. What that is is a concept tough for many to wrap their heads around, but it proposes that all particles have partners (that we haven't discovered yet).
Along the way, Dr. Gates has gotten attention for discovering what he says is computer code in the math that underlies our world. (Specifically, he said it was an error-correcting mechanism; others have analogized this code to the checksums that make the Internet work.) This has led him to speculate--in a mostly-joking way--that we might in fact be living in a giant computer simulation.
What this would mean for our universe is not yet clear. But Gates is content to keep looking until he finds out.
Sylvester James Gates was born December 15, 1950 in Tampa, Florida.
At an early age he was fascinated by science. He cites books on space travel that his father bought him at age 8 as sparking his interest. "A world exploded in my head," he said in 2013, "because I could see from these books that these tiny points of light in the sky at night were places you could go. And somehow in my young mind I knew that mathematics and science had something to do with going to those places."
A bit character in an episode of the sitcom Make Room for Daddy opened his eyes to MIT. Gates told NOVA that seeing that show, portraying a smart kid who attended MIT, is "how I found out that there's a place you can go to college where they only make you study the good stuff"—math, science, and engineering.
But at the same time, a potential disaster was mounting.
A few years prior to Gates discovering MIT, his father left the U.S. Army and moved to Orlando, Florida. At that time, the Army had integrated schools, but Orlando did not.
"I had to learn to be black," he said in a 2013 speech.
"Segregation is an interesting phenomena to experience," he said. "The people that are the minority come to believe the things that are said about them…One day on the playground…another African American said, 'You're pretty good at school.' And I said, 'Thank you.' And he said, 'But you can't be as smart as a white guy.'"
When it came time to apply to college a few years later, "I understood lots of things about the rules of how our society worked in those days, and I thought there's no way in the world that I would have the opportunity to go to such a place." He would have stopped himself from applying—but his father "literally forced me to fill out the application form."
Gates was accepted. At MIT he earned two degrees, a bachelors in math and one in physics, and went on to earn his Ph.D there four years later. His was the first written at MIT on supersymmetry, and no professors there could help him. Undaunted, he taught himself, earned his Ph.D., and moved on to Harvard.
After a number of prestigious research and teaching positions, Gates landed at the University of Maryland in 1984.
Since then, Gates has been plugging away at supersymmetry and string theory. His research has been recognized with the National Medal of Science and the Mendel Medal, and an appointment to President Obama's President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Do we yet know that string theory, or even just supersymmetry, is true? Not yet—and in fact, the first round of experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider found no evidence of supersymmetry. But that's just a push to keep going, Gates says.
"String theory is often criticized as having had no experimental input or output, so the analogy to a religion has been noted by a number of people," Gates told NOVA. "In a sense that's right; it is kind of a church to which I belong. We have our own popes and House of Cardinals. But ultimately science is also an act of faith—faith that we will be capable of understanding the way the universe is put together."
And if string theory is correct, so what? Well, Gates admits he doesn't know. But think of the scientists like James Maxwell who unified electricity and mathematics. "One can imagine saying, 'Professor Maxwell, what do your equations mean?' He would struggle for answers. He would say, 'Well, you know, the electric and magnetic phenomena are not separate, they're part of a unity.' But beyond that I think he would be rather hard-pressed to tell you what it means. One hundred and fifty years later we can answer this question very easily. A large fraction of our technological basis rests on his work.
"So if string theory is correct, what does it mean? Well, one can imagine 150 or 200 years from now some marvelous piece of technology that's beyond my imagining. Maybe it's a transporter from 'Star Trek,' perhaps it's warp drive, maybe our species finally is released from this prison of being contained in a single solar system."
Until then, Gates will keep looking.

If you had a hard time getting out of bed this morning, needed a few cups of coffee to get your mind going, or are rereading this sentence with blurry eyes, the reality is, you might be suffering from sleep deprivation.
In fact, there is a tiny percentage of the population with a genetic mutation that allows them to feel rested with only 4 hours of sleep. However, the chance of you being one of them is very low; people with this rare mutation wake up without sleep inertia and have a cheerful disposition.
Even when the amount to sleep may vary according to age, gender, and lifestyle, 90 percent of the population needs to rest between 7 and 9 hours a day, according to Ying-Hui Fu, a human geneticist at the University of California-San Francisco to Entrepreneur.
You might even trick yourself into believing that you only need around 5 hours of sleep; however, after a prolonged period of sleep deprivation, your brain adapts and you believe you're fine. The scary part is that the less sleep you get, the more cognitively impaired you become, and the less you are able to tell you are cognitively impaired to begin with.
So how can you tell how much rest you need? The usual suggestion is to avoid all stimulants like caffeine, turn off your alarm clock, and pay attention to your body's patters after you have caught up with your sleep for 2 or 3 days.
Now, if you are still willing to sleep less in order to achieve more in your career, well I have news for you: Sleeping more may increase your performance, while sleeping less may cause irreparable damage to your health.


The luxury copy Omega watch comes equipped with the new Calibre 9300's internal automatic movement and its redesigned coaxial escapee system, which ultimately removes the three-finger control dial to support a simpler (and more elegant) dual-compression design while retaining its functionality.
Over the past few years, I've heard countless complaints from various clock enthusiasts who accuse best AAA Omega replica of constantly reproducing "limited edition" and "special edition" versions of their watches, but not releasing anything truly new, using the legendary Speedmaster range, such as cows.
We saw this design about five months ago, when the clockmaker first unveiled its gorgeous fake Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 45.50mm chronograph autochronograph, which showed an impressive 600m WR. The referee. Still with black bevel dial, white transfer inscriptions, luminous chronograph and painted white hands, also got fair share from Superluminova. The signature speedometer scale on the black ring is also in its rightful place.
While a regular chronograph with two sub-dials can only display a small second hand and a 30-minute (ok, sometimes 45 or 60 minutes) accumulator, this chronograph retains all the usual chronograph functions. This is done through the 3 o 'clock integrated accumulator, which easily and intuitively calculates hours and minutes as the brand puts it in the press release.
At 44.25mm it is not only big. For a classic timer that only measured 35 millimeters in diameter 50 years ago, that's huge! I'm not sure if I really want to see a monster like this holding my wrist. As for the price, it's set at a fairly high $8,600, but you can also fine a figure of about two-thirds. The only thing that tempered my enthusiasm for the men's Omega replica watch was its massive size in stainless steel.


Manchester United are reportedly ready to make a move for Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann, according to the Daily Star website.
The Red Devils claimed they weren't interested but Pedro decided to join Chelsea due to the lure of playing under Jose Mourinho.
And after missing out on the Spaniard, reports claim Griezmann is now on their radar, especially since Chelsea have cooled their interest.
Liverpool have had bid accepted as 24 goal and 20 assist star on way in!


I attended SoftLayer training in NYC and wrote up a few pages of notes. I really like the idea of building IaaS systems via web control panels and APIs, and SoftLayer delivers on this.
Deployment in real time with high degree of automation.
Some customers build a hybrid solution using SoftLayer in addition to their own datacenter. Connect via VPN or leased line.
While most cloud providers offer only virtualized resources on shared infrastructure, SoftLayer offers the option of bare metal and/or virtualization, and the option of shared and/or dedicated infrastructure.
2-4 hour provisioning. That's the time it takes for the machine to become visible to the customer. Additional time needed to apply operating system and applications.
Pretty much the same as Multi-tenant virtual except that you have dedicated hardware.
You can install as many virtual machines as you want on your hardware.
Caches content on servers near the user.
Managed through Customer Portal. No console access because it's a shared appliance.
Distribute traffic between multiple SoftLayer datacenters.
Managed through Customer Portal & APIs. No console access because it's a shared appliance.
Managed through Customer Portal & APIs. No console access because it's shared hardware.
Same as above, but single-tenant, yet still no console access.
Same as dedicated hardware, but provides access to console and native tools. This gives the customer more capabilities.
Much easier to deploy/configure security via the SoftLayer Customer Portal than in a traditional datacenter. One common source of vulnerabilities is incomplete or incorrect security deployments, so an easier to use method would suggest that it's easier to create a secure system.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA). Will sign agreement with customer.
Payment Card Industry Security Standard (PCI-DSS) for bare metal and single-tenant virtual. Not recommended for multi-tenant.
Physical security. All items mentioned are good, but seemed typical of other datacenters I've been to or learned about.
Compared to Amazon AWS showed as higher performance and availability at lower cost, but used bare metal for the comparison. Didn't show whether SoftLayer virtual is comparable to AWS, although in theory SoftLayer would cost less.
