December 23 2022- Jury Verdict- $19.5 million dollars for defamation, false light, race discrimination, outrage, and loss of consortium.
https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2022/dec/23/spokane-county-jury-awards-195-million-to-former-s/
"Spokane County has to pay a former Sheriff's Office deputy and his wife $19.5 million in damages after a Superior Court jury on Friday determined he was wrongfully fired and defamed by Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich.
After a four-week trial, the Superior Court jury sided with Thurman on Friday and ordered Spokane County to pay him and his wife, Kaycie Thurman, $19.5 million. They deliberated for less than a day.
Jeff Thurman will receive $2.5 million for lost wages and $12 million for emotional damages. Kaycie Thurman will receive $5 million for emotional damages and loss of consortium.
Mary Schultz, Thurman's attorney, said in an email Friday afternoon that the Thurmans received the damages they deserved.
'The tragedy of this is that one of this community's best, most heroic, and most decorated law enforcement officers was removed from our community's law enforcement team," Schultz said. "As one deputy testified, our community is less safe without Sgt. Thurman on patrol, and in spite of the damages, that will remain sad for all of us.'
Schultz has argued that Knezovich misrepresented the results of the internal affairs investigation and shared an 'entirely false story to the media" during his 2019 news conference.'"
September 30, 2022- Jury Verdict- $897,190 for wrongful termination in violation of public policy and breach of fiduciary duty.
After ten days of jury trial, a Coeur d'Alene, Idaho jury entered a verdict for $879,190 in favor of Mary Schultz Law client, Coeur d'Alene physician Dr. Thomas Neal, against his former family medicine practice, Ironwood Family Physicians, on claims of wrongful termination and breach of fiduciary
duty. Dr. Neal proved that he was wrongfully terminated as an Ironwood Family Practice shareholder, partner, and employee of 24 years because he refused to allow his Ironwood partners to divert his seriously ill patients needing hospitalization into a Kootenai Health Family Medicine Residency Program for their in-hospital care, instead of the normal admission pathway for such ill patients through Hospitalists and specialists. The two-week trial established that a physician has a duty to use independent medical judgment to ensure the safety of their patients over financial benefit, as a matter of public policy.

Domestic Violence -
Longtime partner suing former Washington QB Mark Rypien-
SPOKANE, Wash. — The former longtime partner of ex-NFL quarterback Mark Rypien has filed a personal injury lawsuit against him alleging years of physical and emotional abuse.
The Spokesman-Review reported that Danielle Wade filed the lawsuit in Spokane County Superior Court.
The couple have spoken publicly in the past about violence in their home believed to be a consequence of head trauma Rypien experienced during a 14-year NFL career after playing in college at Washington State.
The lawsuit contains new allegations of violence, beginning as early as 2008 and lasting until September 2020.
Mary Schultz, the attorney representing Wade, said the lawsuit acknowledged Rypien's diagnosis of traumatic brain injury.
"That does not give him license to assault his wife," Schultz said.

Press Defamation: Mary Schultz has filed a defamation action against The Cowles Company d/b/a The Spokesman Review on behalf of former Spokane County Sheriff's Sergeant Jeffrey Thurman. The complaint alleges that Cowles let the Sheriff write the news about what a strong anti-racist Sheriff he was, using Cowles company's journalist's byline, so Cowles and the Sheriff both could receive national attention.
Federal Anti-Trust/Monopoly: Mary Schultz has filed a Sherman Act Anti-Trust/Monopoly case in Spokane Washington on behalf of two former veterinarian shareholders against National Veterinary Associates and Pet Emergency Clinic for their attempted monopoly of local emergency veterinary care.
A news article notes that:
Two veterinarians who worked at PEC from the early 2000s until 2017 have sued their former employer in a federal antitrust case for unfair business practices.
The vets allege the emergency clinic has worked to create a monopoly in the area while working on a possible sale of the operation to National Veterinary Associates, a company that purchases vet clinics around the world. The merger was in the works when the vets first sued in state court in August 2018 and the deal was halted. It remains suspended, according to the current federal lawsuit filed in November 2020.
While NVA and PEC say the lawsuit is baseless, the vets, in their complaint, point to troubling consolidation of veterinary care around the country that can lead to fewer options for pet owners, drive away talented vets and decrease competition by design.
"Pet Emergency Clinic has been providing local emergency veterinarian care in the Spokane area for over 40 years. PEC is owned by local Spokane veterinarians, who wanted a clinic where they could send their patients when their practices were closed," Swindler says. "PEC believes that the lawsuit brought against it by two former employees/owners is baseless and without merit."
Schultz says. "They already lost on that claim."
Schultz says the court's March ruling allowing the case to move forward literally proves the case is not meritless.
Schultz says a major concern is that in the end, there won't be options for pet owners.
"Ultimately what can happen is the quality of the services previously provided have been lessened, but there's no place else to go," Schultz says. "The prices go up, quality goes down, and you're stuck with it. Those are the dangers of monopolies." ♦

SOX Whistleblower: Mary Schultz Law PS client Steven Honkus recovers $640,000 settlement against Trimble Navigation Ltd., based in Sunnyvale, California, in his federal Sarbanes Oxley whistleblower case. The settlement occurred before trial was to commence on August 13, 2018. Mr. Honkus brought SOX whistleblower claims against Trimble Navigation Ltd. for wrongful termination and retaliation. He alleged that he was retaliated against and terminated during a reduction in force after he presented an investigative report to his supervisors detailing conduct that he believed violated the federal Sarbanes Oxley Act's reporting requirements for publicly traded corporations such as Trimble.

San Jose Jury Finds That Corporation Forfeited Invention Ownership Rights Under It's Employee Invention Agreement
On June 9th, 2015 a San Jose, California jury upheld employee rights by finding that an employer corporation forfeited its ownership rights to inventions under an employee invention agreement in favor of the employee inventor. Contractual invention agreements can create traps for employees who invent on their own time and who are required to disclose those inventions to their employer regardless. The jury's finding will protect employees when corporations fail to claim or disclose their intent to claim the invention, while acting in a manner that, from an employee's perspective, contradicts such employer ownership.

Concrete Materiality: Unexpected Transparency
Apart from the works of Kahn and Hadid which celebrate the fluidity of concrete material, concrete ordinarily operates as a forgotten necessity. Sidewalks, bridges, and roadways depend on its durability and immense resistance to compression, but it usually receives little consideration for more artistic creations. Perhaps remembering the Brutalist movement, architects have almost abandoned concrete to favor the "lighter" appearance in materials such as glass and steel. Today we'd like to highlight the work being done with LiTraCon which seeks to reverse this trend with the harmonization of concrete and light, elevating the design possibilities of concrete to a whole new level.
A portmanteau of "Light Transmitting Concrete", LiTraCon burst on to the scene in the past decade, the brainchild of architect Áron Losonczi. As a postgrad in 2001, Losonczi developed the idea of embedding fiber optic cables through concrete, giving it the ability to transmit the full color spectrum of light. Due to the small diameter of fiber optic cables this product becomes indistinguishable from regular concrete when the lighting affect isn't apparent. Even more beneficial, the fibers actually act as an aggregate and allow it to keep its structural integrity; says Losonczi, "Glass fibres do not have a significant negative effect on the high compression strength of concrete." The immensely positive responses, numerous awards, and features in publications have propelled Áron Losonczi to found a company based in his native Hungary called LiTraCon Bt. Since 2003, this invention has been integrated into buildings, monuments, homes, and public art works around the world as architects realize its potential and abilities.

Q: pyspark nested when throws exception I have simple dataframe consisting of 3 most important columns: ID, CAT and SUBCAT.
I want to group results including only rows with some type of SUBCAT.
Everything works fine with below code:
subcategories = ["AA", "AB", "BA", "BB"]

df_grouped = df \
            .groupby("ID") \
            .agg(
                 collect_set(when(col("SUBCAT").isin(subcategories), struct(*[df[columnName] for columnName in restOfColumns]))))

When I want to add "nested" when for differentiation list of allowed SUBCATs per CAT:
df_grouped = df \
            .groupby("ID") \
            .agg(
                 collect_set(when(col("SUBCAT").isin( \
                                 when((col("CAT") == lit("A")), array([lit("AA"), lit("AB")])) \
                                 .otherwise(array([lit("BA"), lit("BB")])) \
                         ), struct(*[df[columnName] for columnName in restOfColumns]))))

, I start receiving exception:
cannot resolve '(df.SUBCAT IN (CASE WHEN (df.CAT = 'A') THEN array('AA', 'AB') ELSE array('BA', 'BB') END))' due to data type mismatch: Arguments must be same type but were: string != array<string>

I have read similar topics here and people got similar errors, but now with the same type of query. Is such "nested" when limitation of pyspark or my query is wrong?

A: In the first code the string in the column is compared with the strings in the list.
But in the second case as when only supports returning literals and columns expressions according to this documentation, you are returning the array of string literals from the nested when.
cannot resolve '(df.SUBCAT IN (CASE WHEN (df.CAT = 'A') THEN array('AA', 'AB') ELSE array('BA', 'BB') END))' due to data type mismatch: Arguments must be same type but were: string != array<string>
That's why it is giving the above exception of data type mismatch which arise due to the comparison of the string in the column with the array of Strings.
In this kind of cases, it is good to use other methods rather than nested when as commented.

Google Pledges $11.5M to Organizations that Fight Racial Bias in Criminal Justice System

SAN FRANCISCO — Google is handing out $11.5 million in grants to organizations combating racial disparities in the criminal justice system, double what it has given so far. And, in keeping with a company built on information, the latest wave of grants target organizations that crunch data to pinpoint problems and propose solutions.
"There is significant ambiguity regarding the extent of racial bias in policing and criminal sentencing," says Justin Steele, principal with Google.org, the Internet giant's philanthropic arm. "We must find ways to improve the accessibility and usefulness of information." Among the organizations receiving funds from Google.org is the Center for Policing Equity, a national research center that collaborates with police departments and the communities they serve to track statistics on law enforcement actions, from police stops to the use of force.
In addition to the grant of $5 million, Google engineers will put their time and skills to work on improving the center's national database."It's hard to measure justice," says Phillip Atiba Goff, the center's co-founder and president. "In policing, data are so sparse and they are not shared broadly. The National Justice Database is an attempt to measure justice so that people who want to do the right thing can use that metric to lay out a GPS for getting where we are trying to go. That's really what we see Google as being a key partner in helping us do."
Like other major technology companies, Google is trying to address the racial imbalance in the demographics of its workforce. Hispanics make up 3% of Google employees and African Americans 2%. In 2015, Google gave $2.35 million to community organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area tackling systemic racism in America's criminal justice, prison and educational systems.
Four more grants totaling $3 million followed in 2016, including $1 million to Bryan Stevenson and his nonprofit Equal Justice Initiative to push America to confront its violent racial history including lynchings. The latest round of grants again put Google in the thick of a national conversation on race prompted by the police shooting deaths and mass incarceration of African Americans.

Since its release last month, the draft of the joint fact finding study group on Kauai has caused a stir. The look at previously collected data on pesticide use on the island is an effort by a team of nine members with science backgrounds and is funded by the County of Kauai and the Department of Agriculture. Last week we spoke with Earthjustice attorney Paul Achitoff who asked the EPA to investigate and promised more lawsuits to come. Later we heard from Kauai blogger Joan Conrow who said Mr. Achitoff made untrue statements and that his groups and others make money by keeping this conflict inflamed. Joan Conrow is on the line now from Kauai.

Trebuchet Magazine|	15/04/2013| Art
Hanging Offence : Ruth Garde
'I'm not sure there is such a thing as an artistic controversy, but there have certainly been many controversies surrounding art' Ruth Garde, curator, talks to Trebuchet about Michaelangelo, Bernini and contemporaty artists such as Omer Fast.
Many of the Hanging Offence questions to date have, by the nature of London's art scene, been answered by curators who also act as gallery directors.
It is inevitable that the roles merge on occasion, and the astoundingly diverse nature of the art 'industry' in the city makes for a certain redundance in terminology at the best of times. When one-person pop-up galleries can exist and thrive alongside multi-national, multi-campus foundations, the venn diagram circles of collector, sales director, curator, gallerist and fan tend to edge together with centrifugal momentum.
That notwithstanding, the beauty of London's vast art scene is that its scale allows for specialists too. Ruth Garde is such a specialist, curating art exhibitions for multiple organisations, and has created a professional niche for herself in the curation and criticism of that theoretical area where art and science meet. Hanging Offence puts the questions to her:
What first drew you to art?
I've always been interested in art, I think, but only began studying it formally in 2002 when I returned to university as a mature student. It was a course entitled "Representations of Justice in Medieval Italian Art" which prompted me to take an Art History MA rather than a History MA, as I had originally intended.
How did your career start?
I changed career and moved into the museums/exhibition realm after leaving my first career in Visual Effects Production, which couldn't have been more different in every respect! I was fortunate enough to land my first job at the Wellcome Trust, working on their Medicine Man exhibition held at the British Museum in 2003.
How did your involvement with the gallery begin?
As above – I began as the curatorial assistant on Medicine Man: The forgotten museum of Henry Wellcome.
How would you describe your vision of art?
I'm not sure I have a unifying vision of art as such; however I would identify art as a creative endeavour which engages on an intellectual and/or emotional level, and art which truly distinguishes itself also provokes a profound response in either the intellectual or emotional sphere, or both.
I would add that these things can sometimes be obscured by curators, and they shouldn't be. I feel that the best curators should be able to facilitate our engagement with artists, not obscure it, and this happens all too often, sadly.
Which artists typify this vision?
There are so many artists with whose work I engage it is hard to answer this question. From the historical realm one of the most profound emotional responses I have ever had has been to Bernini's sculptures, and to Michelangelo's sculptural and painted works.
In terms of contemporary art I have found Ken and Julia Yonetani's sculptural works to be profoundly engaging, and Omer Fast's video installations.
What do you dislike most about art?
I'm not sure there's anything about art per se that I dislike. There are things about the art world that I dislike but that is another matter altogether!
How would you define artistic controversy?
At the risk of sounding pedantic I'm not sure there is such a thing as an artistic controversy, but there have certainly been many controversies surrounding art. These range from the censorship of artists and artworks, to matters relating to the decision making/commissioning processes relating to so-called public art, to the media storms surrounding artworks that are regarded as morally repugnant or distasteful, and so on.
Do you think that controversy in is a positive force in art or a conceptual red herring?
I think controversy can absolutely have positive consequences, insofar as it provokes debate, can lead to changed/more nuanced views, an exchange of ideas – as long as this is done thoughtfully and not with the mud-slinging and rows that often typify the responses (in the media) to such controversies.
What's been your biggest challenge?
Coming to terms with the sheer magnitude of contemporary artistic production and accepting that I will never feel I have sufficient knowledge of it!
What's been your biggest success?
Finding and nurturing a niche for myself in a particular realm of the artworld (the art/science realm).
Who are you five favourite artists and which pieces of theirs do you admire?
This is a question I always shrink from as there are so very many artists whose work I find engaging and inspiring, far too many to mention, from the 15th to the 21st centuries, that trying to pick out a top five seems an invidious and reductive task. But since you ask I'm obliged to answer, but I'm sticking to contemporary artists otherwise it's all too impossible!
1) Edward Burtynsky. His Oil series of photographs was wonderful and his work is so evidently touched by the influence of Bernd and Hilla Bechers, whose work I also love. The beauty of the paraphernalia and architecture of heavy industry!
2) Rachel Kneebone. I love her work, such as I Think of Death (2009), in part because it is so clearly influenced by Bernini, the greatest sculptor ever to have lived, in my opinion..
3) Ken & Julia Yonetani. Their sculptures Still Life, The Food Bowl (2011) and Sweet Barrier Reef (2009) blew me away last year when I saw them for the first time.
4) Gunnel Wåhlstrand. Her paintings are hauntingly beautiful, such as New Year's Day (2005)
5) Omer Fast. I would not usually describe video art as one of my favourite media, but I was absolutely floored by his piece The Casting (2007).
Gunnel Wahlstrand – New Year's Day
Who do you think is the artist to watch at the moment and why?
Again, there are so many it's hard to answer this question. So I'll pick a young artist at an early stage of her career: Joanna Sperryn-Jones, a sculptor interested in the intersection between the processes of making and breaking. She was a finalist in the 2012 Sculpture Shock prize awarded by the Royal British Society of Sculptors and her works are delicate, beautiful, fragile but with an undertow of violence, risk and danger as they also invite breakage and destruction.
What does the future hold?
For me or for art?! For me I hope to continue ploughing my furrow in the art/science realm (and hopefully beyond it as well!) but I actually expect the realm of art/science to become increasingly part of the mainstream.
It is certainly witnessing a flowering at the moment (for example, there are many interdisciplinary art/science courses springing up at both under- and post-graduate levels across the world) and an increase in interest both academically and in the more general art-consuming public, but I hope that the "art/science banner" will become increasingly redundant and that the works will be able take their place alongside all other more established artistic practices.

Q: Selecting a single file from an entire list of files based on pattern being matched I am trying to select a single file name from an entire list of files if the pattern matches. Files keep on changing every 15 days only a particular section of the file matches.
File name normally is ABCD.NAD.RPT8.2018.10.12.TXT. Part before NAD and after RPT8 or RPT9 Changes.
Pattern is NAD.RPT8 or NAD.RPT9
I tried:
from os import walk
from os.path import splitext
import re
dolv_files = os.listdir(r'C:\DOLV')

for file_name in dolv_files:
  fname1=file_name.rsplit('.',4)[0]
   pattern = re.compile(r'NAD.RPT*')
   matches = [x for x in fname1 if pattern.match(x)]
   print(matches)
   first_fname=os.listdir(r'C:\DOLV')[0]
   print(first_fname)

It does not give me any results. It needs to pick up the first files with NAD.RPT8 or NAD.RPT9
Any suggestions how to get this to work.
Regards,
Ren.

A: The re.match method matches only from the beginning of a string. To match anywhere in a string, you should use re.search instead. Also, it appears that you're using a glob pattern rather than a regex pattern. In a regex pattern * means to match 0 or more of the character preceding it, so RPT* actually matches RP, RPT, RPTT, RPTTT and so on, and . matches any character but the newline character, not just a dot. But more importantly, your fname1 variable is a string, so if you iterate through fname1 with x, then x is simply every single character of fname1. You should match directly against fname1 instead. But then you're really just matching with a fixed string NAD.RPT, so there's no need for regex and you can simply use the in operator instead:
for file_name in dolv_files:
    if 'NAD.RPT' in file_name:
        first_name = file_name.split('.')[0]
        print(first_name)

A: Use pathlib:
from pathlib import Path
dolv_file_dir = Path('C:\DOLV')
matching_files_8 = dolv_file_dir.glob('*NAD.RPT8*')
matching_files_9 = dolv_file_dir.glob('*NAD.RPT9*')
first_match_8 = next(matching_files_8)
first_match_9 = next(matching_files_9)

Gang Shootout Leave A 16-Year-Old Girl Without A Right Eye
March 27, 2015 - 1 Comment
Fresno County sheriff's detectives have identified a potential suspect in the shooting of 16-year-old Brianna Ramirez, who was shot in the eye last month in Parlier while riding in a car with her mother, newly released Superior Court documents say.
Detectives have talked with Jorge Alberto Calleres, 24, a Bulldog gang member with a lengthy criminal record. During the course of the investigation, Calleres was booked into jail on a probation violation, served his time and has since been released, sheriff's officials said Thursday in a news release.
Sheriff's officials say Brianna, a sophomore at Sanger High School, and her mother were headed home in a Toyota Camry when several rounds were fired in their direction about 10 p.m. Feb. 12 on the 400 block of Fett Street. One of the bullets passed through a car window and struck Brianna as she sat in the front passenger seat.
Calleres' parents live on the 200 block of Fett Street in Parlier, the Superior Court documents say.
Those same documents spell out the course of the investigation into the shooting that has rallied the Valley against random violence. According to the documents:
A witness to the shooting said she believed she saw someone nicknamed "Macetas" wearing a red shirt or sweatshirt, standing behind a blue truck when Brianna's car was hit by gunfire. Detectives later identified Calleres as "Macetas."
Detectives went to Calleres' parents' home, but they denied seeing him on the night of Feb. 12. The parents said the last time they saw their son was around Feb. 10. They also denied that their son owned a gun.
But the parents admitted that their son is a Bulldog gang member. They told detectives that their home was shot at about two weeks before Brianna was struck.
Detectives talked to Calleres' brother, Victor Calleres, who identified his brother as Macetas. Victor Calleres said he hadn't seen his brother since Feb. 11.
On Feb. 13, detectives tracked down a woman who knew Jorge Calleres. She told detectives that she last saw Calleres in the passenger seat of a Honda on Feb. 11. She told detectives she saw a gun on Calleres' lap.
Fresno County Jail records show Calleres is not in custody.
Court records say Calleres has several tattoos, including "Parlier" on his chest, a bulldog on his stomach and "Calleres" on his back. He was arrested for brandishing a firearm, participating in a street gang and assault with a deadly weapon in 2009, possession of drugs in 2011 and auto theft in 2012. He is on probation until July 2017.
On the night of the shooting, detectives found 14 spent .22-caliber shell casings on the east side of Fett Street, south of Tuolumne Street, just north of the home of Calleres' parents. Detectives also found six spent 9mm shell casings near a blue Dodge truck on the west side of Fett Street, and three 9 mm spent shell casings south of the blue truck, the court documents say.
The sheriff's news release said the investigation has led detectives "in different directions, focusing on more than just one potential suspect."
Brianna's case and an unsolved shooting Jan. 19 in Fresno that killed 9-year-old Janessa Ramirez (no relation) have put the focus on random violence in the central San Joaquin Valley. Brianna Ramirez drew cheers this month when she met with her Sanger High softball teammates at the school and asked for witnesses to step forward: "I do believe someone knows something, they just don't want to own up to it. Not just for my sake, but my whole neighborhood's sake, I would like someone to speak up."
A $9,000 reward is available for information leading to an arrest in the shooting that injured Brianna.
On Friday, Brianna will receive a $10,000 scholarship from Clovis New Car Dealers Association at the Fresno County Sheriff's Office headquarters in downtown Fresno. The money will be put aside in an account for Brianna to use for any educational needs after high school.

Padova (Padua)
By John.Pelling
We went to see the Giotto frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel but found a great deal more. It was a return visit after thirty years but every bit as splendid as before.
Arrival by bus or train is outside the city centre but only a few minutes' walk from the ancient gates. Even closer is the Scrovegni Chapel, on the edge of an archaeological site that doubles as a park beside the river. We had to confirm details of our pre-booked visit but had time first for a splendid coffee at a Sicilian restaurant in a quiet street at the back of the main road.
Before we had just walked into the chapel: these days, for conservation and security reasons you need to book in advance and visits are restricted in number and time. Fortunately the web site is very efficient and we'd booked from home before our holiday began. There is a "decontamination" delay in an ante-room where an informative film shows details of the story and conservation of the chapel and frescoes. Scrovegni was a usurer and would have found a place in Dante's "Inferno" despite trying to buy his salvation with the chapel and the frescoes. In characteristic style he had himself included in the design, among the elect naturally.
The frescoes are on two levels: one shows the life of the Virgin, the other the life of Jesus, with a Judgement filling the height of an end wall. There is a parallel with the glass in King's College Chapel, Cambridge, although the two are independent.
A helpful guide describes what is depicted, enabling those who only want to take photos or selfies to have a running commentary. It seemed preferable to us simply to gaze and marvel at the skill of Giotto as well as the devotion. As we had heard, his rendering of solid forms was revolutionary.
Our fifteen minutes were all too brief but we emerged after another pause in an air lock to sunshine enhanced by what we had seen. Plenty to discuss too while we had lunch at the same restaurant – memories of Sicilian holidays and the hilarious puppet show in Palermo prompted by some less-than inspired illustrations on the walls.
We had decided not to visit museums or other churches but to explore the old city within the walls. There are helpful signs on street corners and maps in some of the piazzas. The Palazzo della Ragione is, as The Rough Guide says, extraordinary, gigantic rather than merely huge. Also impressive – and very expensive – is the Caffe Pedrocchi. More interesting from our point of view was the Ghetto. It is a district of narrow streets and alleys with no indication of separateness until you find a Jewish shop or a synagogue. We found it very quiet after the bustle of the main streets.
With temperatures in the high twenties sightseeing has to be rationed, even if there are shady streets. Another coffee and a third visit to the Sicilian restaurant prompted an amused conversation with the friendly staff. Then we realised what a hot walk it was going to be back to the bus station. Nonetheless a wonderful day in a splendid city: perhaps we'll go again in a cooler season.

A local girl's take on the good life in Omaha, Nebraska and beyond
About Brandi
Beachbody Or Bust

Right now, I'm writing this blog listening to the film score from The Lone Ranger.
Perhaps you're asking.. Umm.. what?!?!
You read that right. John Williams radio on Pandora is my go-to when I need to drown out the world.. whether it's my own thoughts, chatter, or negativity clouding my mind. The violins, the drums, the SERENITY of these symphonic masterpieces help me focus and block out all the distractions trying to make their way in. From this Hans Zimmer soundtrack piping through my earbuds, to Williams' iconic (and for me, BELOVED) movie soundtracks.. music is my rock in these moments.
CLICK HERE if you need a zen moment.. and check out KETV's feature on future violinists at the Omaha Conservatory of Music! WARNING–you may DIE of cuteness overload!
Music represents even more for Kate Lynne Duncan, a UNK student and future music teacher. In the soundtrack of her life, there's a song for every milestone moment and she's usually working on what will play next. Music is her past, present and future.
Photo courtesy Jenn Cady Photography
"Music has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember," Kate told me recently. "I can't imagine my education, or life, without music and I hope that my future students never have to."
It's that love of performing that led Kate to the Miss Nebraska Organization; she'll compete for the title in June as Miss Alliance 2016. This is Kate's third local title within the Miss America Organization, and she also competed as a teenager starting at the age of 14.
"I could not have paid for my first semester of college without the money I received from Miss Nebraska that fall," said Kate. "More recently, the scholarship money has helped pay off part of my student loan. I have increased my self-confidence, poise, sharpened my interview skills and gained communication skills. I really feel that I can tackle any job interview I encounter."
But neither pageants, nor college have just been about building to a final crescendo. When I spoke with Kate last year as she served as Miss Sandhills (click here to read more!) she described the last few years as a metamorphosis in way because of all of her personal growth. Kate is currently in her fourth year at the University of Nebraska Kearney where she is also a member of Alpha Omicron Pi, the Nebraska Association for Music Educators, the Thompson Scholar Learning Community and the National Association for Residence Hall Honorary (Kate is a third year Resident Assistant).
"I have enthusiasm, positivity, zeal and I encourage those around me," said Kate. "It may take a little coffee to wake me up, but I strive to put a smile on someone's face each day."
Kate credits that drive to a support network including her family, sorority sisters, and her boyfriend, Andrew.
"I consider my mother to both my role model and one of my closest friends," added Kate. " I would not stay sane with my hectic daily lifestyle if it wasn't for her love, support and guidance. She is always a phone call away and makes frequent 5+ hour drives to see me when I haven't been able to make it home for a few months."
Kate also has a close relationship with her father, nurtured by, of course, music.
"Editing my pageant music has become a bonding activity for my father and I," said Kate. "He knows the technological aspects of the software program, and I just sing through our cutting and help with the fine tuning of the audio."
But Kate was to spread her music far beyond the Miss Nebraska Pageant; she's devoted this to her personal platform called 'Please Don't Stop The Music: the importance of fine arts education in schools.'
"I've built many connections in my hometown, college town and across the state that will enable me to participate in events and reach out to schools," said Kate.
So back to John Williams (and by the way, the score from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is now playing).. for anyone who's never followed it, the Miss Nebraska Pageant is truly MUSIC in a way.. it's the union of different sounds and styles to create one symphonic masterpiece. This organization highlights women with various backgrounds, talents and visions that when brought together, empower and inspire everyone who witnesses it.
These women make MUSIC together. And Kate Duncan is on a mission to remind all of us how much the world needs that.

With over 400 events a year, the Stadtgarten Köln is one of the internationally recognized venues in Europe for the field of current and improvised music and was upgraded to the "European Center for Jazz and Current Music" in 2018. The program in the Concert Hall maps current developments in the field of jazz and contemporary music, with an explicit interest in artistically ambitious pop music, singer/songwriting and new and electronic music.
The concert hall was opened on September 04, 1986, by the Initiative Kölner Jazz Haus e.V. opened. More about the history of the Stadtgarten can be found here.

JAKI - Klub im Stadtgarten is characterized by its wide musical range: From jazz to hip hop and soul, to electronic music and reggae, everything is represented here. With "Jazz@JAKI", on the other hand, JAKI presents itself in the old tradition. Following the example of the New York jazz clubs, there are also concerts here with modern mainstream jazz. But experimental and current forms of rock and pop music also have their place at JAKI, making the Stadtgarten club a multifaceted party and concert location.
In October 2019 JAKI, named after CAN drummer Jaki Liebezeit, celebrated its grand opening.
Still very young, but already known everywhere as a Cologne "concert oasis": The GREEN ROOM. With its very special ambience, the new venue invites you to a diverse range of live concerts. On Friday, the Songlines series presents pop and singer-songwriters, while Saturday belongs to the Tom-Tom Listening Session with local and international DJs. On Sunday, Jazz@GREEN ROOM will feature contemporary jazz, while on Monday, NICA live will feature selected artists from the NICA artist development program NICA artist development presenting their musical ideas.
Since April 2020 the GREEN ROOM has been added as an open-air concert space. Born more out of necessity, it is now considered a permanent venue of the Stadtgarten.

In a case of vital importance for the elderly and vulnerable, a judge has ruled that a woman who lives in a dream world and is looked after in her home, around the clock, by a state-funded team of carers, is not suffering any 'deprivation of liberty'.
The mother-of-three suffered brain damage following an operation in 1996 and, from then onwards, time had stopped for her. Stricken by powerful delusions, she tended to wander off in search of her 'young children', who were in fact adults, and required 24-hour supervision and a care regime costing almost £1,500 a week.
There was no dispute that she was of 'unsound mind' and that, when she wandered off, her carers would bring her back home. However, given the very high level of supervision she receives, an issue arose as to whether she is being 'confined' in her own home and deprived of her liberty, within the meaning of Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
In ruling that she is not – and that there is no need for her care to be periodically reviewed by judges – the Court of Protection noted that she is barely able to walk and is thus close to being housebound in any event. If judicial supervision was required in her case, then 'tens, if not hundreds, of thousands' of similar cases would have to be dealt with in the same way, with serious consequences for the scarce resources of local authorities and the courts alike.
If her care regime was being funded by her family, instead of the state, no one would suggest that her right to liberty was being infringed and the idea that she was being confined against her will was 'arguably irrational'. Quoting philosopher, John Stuart Mill – who wrote the classic essay 'On Liberty' in 1859 – the judge said he would have viewed it as 'utterly impossible' that the woman was being deprived of her liberty by being cared for in her own home at public expense.

Q: Eigenspace of convex combination of two idempotent matrices Let $H_1,H_2\in\mathbb{Q}^{n\times n}$ be idempotent and symmetric matrices. For any $0<\mu<\frac{1}{2}$, consider the matrix
$$H_\mu:=\mu H_1+(1-\mu)H_2.$$
I'm looking for a description of $\text{Eig}(H_\mu,\mu)$.
Clearly, $\text{img}(H_1)\cap\ker(H_2)\subseteq\text{Eig}(H_\mu,\mu)$, but under which conditions do we have equality? Is there a description of the "missing piece"
$$\text{Eig}(H_\mu,\mu)/\text{img}(H_1)\cap\ker(H_2)?$$
See also my question here.

A: In fact, we always have equality.
Suppose $v \in \text{Eig}(H_\mu, \mu)$.  Write $v = v_1 + v_2$ where
$v_1 = H_1 v$, $v_2 = (I-H_1) v$ are orthogonal.
We have
$$ \mu v_2 = H_\mu v - \mu v_1 = \mu H_1 v + (1-\mu) H_2 v - \mu v_1 =  (1-\mu) H_2 v$$
i.e. $$H_2 v = \frac{\mu}{1-\mu} v_2$$
Now since $H_2$ is idempotent, $H_2 v_2 = v_2$, so that
$$H_2 v_1 = H_2 v - v_2 = \dfrac{2\mu - 1}{1-\mu} v_2 $$
But by symmetry,
$$0 = v_1^T H_2 v_2 = v_2^T H_2 v_1 = \dfrac{2\mu - 1}{1-\mu} v_2^T v_2$$
and since $\mu \ne 1/2$, $v_2 = 0$, and $v = v_1 \in \text{img}(H_1) \cap \text{ker}(H_2)$.
EDIT: For larger convex combinations, an analogous statement is not true.  For example, consider $H_\mu = \dfrac{1}{6} H_1 + \mu_2 H_2 + \left(\dfrac{5}{6} - \mu_2\right) H_3$ for the  symmetric idempotents
$$ \eqalign{H_1 &= \pmatrix{1 & 0\cr 0 & 0\cr},\cr H_2 &= \pmatrix{9/34 & -15/34\cr -15/34 & 25/34\cr}, \cr H_3 &= \pmatrix{25/26 & -5/26\cr
-5/26 & 1/26\cr}} $$
The condition for $H_\mu$ to have eigenvalue $1/6$ is $8712 \mu_2^2 - 9108 \mu_2 + 2125 = 0$, which has a root near $\mu_2 = .3514749310$.
Then you can check that for this $\mu_2$, $H_\mu$ has an eigenvector for eigenvalue $ 1/6$
which is not in $\text{img}(H_1)$ or $\text{ker}(H_2)$ or $\text{ker}(H_3)$.

A: Let me rephrase the answer in different terms.
Since $H_i$ are idempotent and self-adjoint, they are orthogonal projectors onto some subspaces $W_i$. Set $U=W_1\cap W_2$, and let $U_i$ be the orthogonal complement of $U$ in $W_i$. Finally, let $U^\perp$ be the orthogonal complment of $W_1+W_2$ in the whole space $V$. Then $V=U\oplus U_1\oplus U_2\oplus U^\perp$ (but $U_i$ are not necessarily orthogonal to each other). Notice here that $H_i(U_{3-i})\subseteq U_i$ by orthogoality.
Now, each vector $v$ is uniquely expanded as $v=u+u_1+u_2+u^\perp$ with each summand lying in the corresponding space. If $v$ is an eigenvector of $H_\mu$ with the eigenvalue $\mu$, then
$$
  \mu u+\mu u_1+\mu u_2+\mu u^\perp
  =H_\mu v
  =u+\mu u_1+(1-\mu)H_2(u_1)+(1-\mu)u_2+\mu H_1(u_2)
  =u+\mu(u_1+H_1(u_2))+(1-\mu)(u_2+H_2(u_1))+0,
$$
the terms in the right-hand part also lie in the corresponding subspaces. Hence $u=u^\perp=0$, $H_1(u_2)=0$ (so $u_2\perp U_1$), and $(2\mu-1)u_2=(1-\mu)H_2(u_1)$. The last equality cannot hold unless $u_2=0$ or $\mu=1/2$, since $u_2\perp U_1$. So $v=u_1\in \mathop{\rm Im} H_1$ and $H_2(u_1)=0$ (thus $u_1\in\mathop{\rm Ker} H_2$), as required.
Perhaps, this language is better for generalizations?

How to Navigate to the Closest Grocery Store on Flipkart
admin August 25, 2022 6 min read
How to Navigate to the Closest Grocery Store on Flipkar
If you have a Mobile or Computer, there are a few different ways you can use it to navigate to the nearest grocery store. The first is to use your web browser and type in the name of the store you want to find in the search bar. Then, click on the first listing that comes up. A window will pop up with a list of nearby grocery stores. You can then click on the Directions button next to each one. This will give you step-by-step directions to the store. You can print or save these directions for later reference.
If you are looking for a grocery store, one way to find one is by using Google Maps. The map will show you which stores are nearby and what their hours are. Depending on your location, you can choose an open-now store or one that is closed until the next day.
The map also shows you whether a store has lines and how long they are. You can even see if it is crowded or not. Google Maps also displays the current weather and air quality in your area. You can even print a map for later use. Using Google Maps to navigate to the nearest grocery store has many benefits.
Another useful app is Waze, which has a built-in feature that lets you download maps for offline use. The app works on Android devices. To download new routes, simply turn on "Download traffic information" in your settings menu. Once you've downloaded the app, you can use it to navigate to the nearest grocery store.
The app also features a feature that lets you track your orders. If they're already prepared, you can use Maps to track them, and when they're ready, you can even check in contactless to pick up your groceries. This is a step towards making the app a fully-fledged grocery app.
Another useful feature of Google Maps is the ability to time travel. You can view the map from different points in history and see how traffic is at different times. If you're in a hurry, using the app can save you time and avoid getting lost. It will also show you alternate routes and tell you when to turn.
Another handy feature of Google Maps is the ability to view Street View history. The feature is available on Android devices and should show you directions automatically. On iPhones, you'll need to sign in to the Maps app and enable notifications in your device's settings. You'll also need to manually add your compatible vehicle.
You can also share your current location with other people. In Google Maps, you can use the icons in the menu bar to share your location. In turn, other people can see your location on the map and get directions. You can also add a list with your saved locations to make it easier for others to find them.
If you want to go grocery shopping on a daily basis, you can use the GPS feature of your smartphone to navigate to the nearest store. Another handy feature is Siri, which lets you speak a list of what you need and receive turn-by-turn directions. You can even ask Siri to tell you about any deals that are available nearby. To activate Siri, simply press the home button on your phone and say "Hey, Siri."
You can also use Google Maps to find the closest grocery store. This feature will give you a list of stores near you and their hours. You can also get information such as the average temperature of the area and the air quality in your area. If you want, you can even print out a map and visit it later.
The Assistant can also help you find stuff near you, including restaurants, events, movies, and hotels. In addition to providing directions, it can also provide you with information about nearby pubs and comedy theaters. If you travel a lot, this feature is an excellent choice for you.
Grocery store navigation can save you a lot of time. If you have a smartphone with GPS capability, the app will tell you which stores are the closest to you. Besides saving time, it also saves you fuel. All you have to do is select the first option on the list and tap the navigation button. Once you've selected your destination, you'll see the navigation arrow at the top of your screen. Once you've reached the store, follow the directions on your screen to enter the store.
Google Assistant can also answer questions you might have about sports or other topics. You can even ask Google Assistant to play a game for you. If you're interested in learning a new skill, it's worth the time to learn about Google Assistant's features. The assistant is smart enough to read back information from different sources and respond to you in an entertaining way.
If you have a Google Assistant smartphone, you'll be able to get great help on a daily basis. The virtual assistant can play music for you, remind you of something, check flight information, and much more. Google Assistant works on most Android devices. If you're a new user, you'll be guided through the process of setting up the Assistant.
Google Assistant can also help you learn a new language. You can enable the feature in your device's Settings. To enable it, press the white software home button. Then, press the three-dot menu and select Language Preferences. Once you've done this, you'll be able to customize the Assistant's language preferences by choosing a language and accents.
Google Assistant will also let you stream Netflix shows and movies. You can even ask it to play specific Netflix shows. For example, you can ask Google Assistant to play Stranger Things, MacGyver, or Imagine. If you're a fan of horror movies, you can also ask Google Assistant to play a Netflix show or movie.
Until recently, there was no single way to navigate to the closest grocery store on Flipkart. In October 2015, the company launched a separate grocery ordering service, Nearby, and started taking orders from grocery stores. The service was a failure and was halted in February 2016 after running its course. However, the lessons learned from the experience will be used to improve operations in the future.
Today, the Flipkart Group, India's homegrown e-commerce company, has launched a new digital marketplace, Flipkart Wholesale. This new division will transform the retail ecosystem in the country. The company's consumer e-commerce expertise and leadership in technology will be put to use in the wholesale business. Its acquisition of Wal-Mart India Private Limited, which operates the Best Price cash-and-carry business, will help it continue to grow and prosper in the country.
Flipkart has made huge investments in its logistics network to ensure that customers can get quality products. In addition to a dedicated warehouse, the company has expanded its last-mile delivery network and established a dedicated supply chain. The company also provides open-box slotted delivery to ensure that customers don't have to wait for their groceries to arrive. With these new developments, the company aims to compete with other leading players in the grocery industry.
FLIPKART GROCERY reserves the right to reject orders from individuals outside of Moradabad, due to the lack of a Partner Store in the area. However, if the delivery time is urgent, the company will make arrangements. In such cases, the company will charge the customer as needed.
For those who prefer to have grocery delivery by phone, Flipkart's new service will allow them to do so in as little as 45 minutes in certain areas of Bengaluru. The company plans to expand its service to other cities in the country next month. These new services will help Flipkart compete with other quick commerce services, which aim to deliver a wide range of products in 15 minutes or less.
FLIPKART GROCERY uses a voice assistant to assist customers in building their grocery baskets. The assistant will understand varied language commands and respond accordingly. It will also communicate with the customer via e-mail, which will be sent when an order is placed. The voice assistant is available for Hindi and English users and will understand mixed language commands.
The app also makes navigation easy. It has a tabbed interface that lets users quickly and conveniently find the nearest store. The main features of the app are placed at the bottom, making it easy to navigate. Important features like the shopping categories and cart are close to the thumb, making navigation easy.

Longines - BASELWORLD 2013
Saint-Imier (Switzerland), 24th April 2013 - With Conquest Classic, HydroConquest, The Longines Heritage Military 1938 and La Grande Classique de Longines 100 Diamonds, Longines is launching new models that perfectly embody its core values of elegance, tradition and performance.
As a partner of the most prestigious flat races, Longines was keen to launch a collection of timepieces to be worn amidst the parade rings at Chantilly, Hong Kong, Royal Ascot or Dubai racecourses. As a tribute to the chronographs produced from 1881 on for race-goers and jockeys in New York, Longines has now launched Conquest Classic. True to the brand's values of elegance, tradition and performance, these new models, all fitted with self-winding calibres, are at the same time contemporary and perfectly timeless.
Longines can boast a long tradition characterised by the elegance and performance of its products. Those values are perfectly represented by The Longines Sport Collection. The HydroConquest line is dedicated to men and women looking for a performing timepiece that combines technical devices and elegance. Longines now extends this line with new models in bright colors.
The Longines Heritage Military 1938 uses the typical aesthetics based on the design of military watches produced by Longines in the 1930s. Easy reading and total reliability are essential for this type of watch, which was used under sometimes extreme conditions. Reminiscent of the original model, the fluted, flat crown merges smoothly with the round steel case. The black synthetic strap is stitched in white, adding the final touch to this new model of contrasts.
La Grande Classique de Longines 100 Diamonds maintains all the characteristics of the original creations of this emblematic collection but now combines the classical elegance of those ultra-slim models with the sparkle of 100 diamonds. These new timepieces are dedicated to ladies who appreciate timeless elegance with a touch of sparkling refinement.
Longines has been based at Saint-Imier in Switzerland since 1832. Its watchmaking expertise reflects a strong devotion to tradition, elegance and performance. Longines has generations of experience as official timekeeper of world championships and as partner of international sports federation. Known for the elegance of its timepieces, Longines is a member of the Swatch Group Ltd, the World's leading manufacturer of horological products. With the winged hourglass as its emblem, the brand has outlets in over 130 countries.
