Il Mono è uno dei più importanti fiumi del Togo, nell'Africa Occidentale. Con i suoi 450 km è il fiume più lungo della nazione; il suo bacino comprende tutta la parte centro-orientale e sud-orientale del Togo e parte della zona sud-occidentale del Benin. Nasce dai Monti del Togo vicino al confine tra la regione di Kara e la Regione Centrale; scorre verso sud attraversando la parte centro-orientale della Regione Centrale dove riceve le acque del suo più importante affluente, l'Ogou. Nella regione del Plateaux l'uomo ha formato un lago artificiale di rilevante grandezza, il Lago di Nangbéto.

Il Mono rappresenta la linea di confine meridionale tra Togo e Benin per un lungo tratto. Sfocia poi nel Golfo di Guinea presso una laguna detta Lago Togo.

Macmillan CEO says 300 redundancy announcement is "darkest day of my career"
Macmillan Cancer Support is considering more than 300 redundancies to meet Covid-19 income losses.
The charity's chief executive Lynda Thomas said that "despite the determination and commitment of our fundraising teams" its voluntary income could fall by as much as £175m by the end of 2022.
In a bid to protect its frontline support, including its helpline and nursing care, the charity is to start a consultation on 5 October proposing 310 redundancies.
"Our people are at the heart of everything we do, but this is the only way we can meet the needs of people living with cancer now and in the future. We are committed to ensuring that this is managed equitably and fairly, and that all impacted colleagues are treated with compassion and care," said Thomas.
"The past six months have been some of the hardest our organisation has ever faced. To say that today is the darkest day of my career is no exaggeration. I am truly devastated to have to do this, and it is not a decision we have taken lightly."
The charity has also been hit hard since Covid-19 lockdown by rise in demand for its services, the redeployment of its nurses to support Covid-19 patients and the need to pivot services online. This included the setting up of its Telephone Buddy service, "so that people living with cancer could still talk to us and get help", added Thomaas.
Other action Macmillan has taken to meet income losses have been to launch its first emergency appeal, called The Forgotten C, which raised £1.5m.
This week it is staging its annual Coffee Morning fundraiser, which has become a virtual event due to Covid-19 restrictions.
The charity estimates that despite a move online the event could see a £20m drop in money raised.
Thomas added: "I am incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication of all of our Macmillan employees, professionals, partners, supporters and volunteers across the UK, who've worked tirelessly, whilst managing the impact of the crisis on their own lives, to help us maintain our support for over 1.9 million people living with cancer each year."

Diverging a bit from posts of being sick and depressed, perhaps something on a lighter side. Recently, I've gotten addicted to playing with the game "Angry Birds" on the iPad. I don't actually have one, but my best friend does — and I've basically confiscated it these few days. As I was lying on the bed slinging multi-coloured angry little birds at green pigs last night with my friend, I felt a sudden surge of warmth as I realized how much closer I've become with so many friends through my being sick.
I've always been quite blessed to have many friends around me. When others tell me it's lucky if they have 1-2 soulmates and best friends they've known for more than a decade, I feel very fortunate that I can easily name 10+ people I consider soulmates, and have known for many many years. On top of that, I'd say I have many close and good friends, especially those I have met in recent years in the different cities I lived in, with whom I can share my thoughts and talk. And then, of course, there are those few who have known me forever, and seen the worst of me – seen me cry, angry, desperate, despair, beaten, heartbroken, hysteric, emotional. I'm sure there must be bits of me they loath but they remain true to me, and have accepted me as me – perhaps even more so than I have accepted myself. Our paths and life experience have diverged and yet when we come together again nothing feels more familiar. Very cheesy, but the bond is much tighter than the strongest carbon bonds in a diamond.
When I was sick, many friends were concerned. I didn't actually tell many people about what was going on, and MIA-ed for quite a few months. But disappearing from the ends of the earth bore no dent in our friendships. If anything, I think it was a catalyst to strengthen many relationships. Many of you don't know it, but those random emails or Facebook messages / posts you sent me while I was sick, fuelled me on one way or another. Apologies if I never responded.
Sadly, however, these last few months also made me see quite clearly who is, and will be, around to see me through it all, and who cannot handle a non-bubbly-happy me and had to drift off. And then there are those I had expected would at least drop a line – literally just a line – to see how I was doing as they have not heard from me for a while; but perhaps I expected too much as they were too, bogged down with challenges in their lives. Usually I played the role of encouragement and care, but I was too exhausted mentally myself to do much about it then. I am still too tired to pick up that role again because I am still trying to sort myself out and recover from all the physical pain so maybe some friendships will dissipate. Some are to this day, oblivious to what I went through and at what point I am; I don't blame them, we are all busy people. Others were simply nosy and I almost wish they would leave me alone. Not to mention those who derive their enjoyment through my misery.
But focusing on the positives as I have no time to waste for irrelevant people, some friends I really cannot do without. My "angry birds friend" has less patience than I do (I think). Yet, her EQ pumped up exponentially as day after day I'd text her or email her with my negative thoughts for so many months. She stood by me even when for so many times, I called her and broke down crying for no reason and couldn't even talk, sometimes it'd be a few times a day. She took care of me when my head hurt so much that all I could do was cry. She still hasn't dumped me although my mother calls her and hassles her to find out what's going on. And more so, in her own breakdown and troubles, she was still concerned about my well-being. Apologetic as I feel for taking up her energy and time, gratitude is a better word. But perhaps even "gratitude" doesn't do this friendship justice.
What touches my heart is that the word "friends" means so much that no other words can express it better. These people have not abandoned me because I was weak and couldn't laugh. They didn't forget about me even though I shut myself up for so long, and sometimes I simply did not have the strength to even turn on the computer to read emails after an IV drip in ER. They hold no grudge against me even though I did not reply to their emails or did not want to explain what was going on with me. They waited for me to come back in my own time, and was always ready to lend a supporting shoulder when I reached out for one.
It was silly in a way really, when at 1am in the morning we were still sprawled out on the bed, our vulnerabilities and heartaches out the window for a while, and on the iPad trying to get through another level of Angry Birds. Discussions were no longer about life or love, but where best to aim the bird, or where to make it explode. "What's our strategy?" my friend asked. "Don't know, let's try hitting it here," I responded. What more can I ask for from friends like these?
Thank you, my Angry Birds friend. Thank you all my friends.
Babe… I'm here for you when you need to talk, vent, brainstorm, start possibilities, and come out on top because that's where you WILL end up.


Smiley Faces Theatre School is a scaled down version of Future Faces theatre school.
The students attend from age 3 yrs until 6/7 yrs of age.
They attend from 09.00 am until 10.30am on Saturday mornings. The idea behind the Junior school is to build confidence in a fun atmosphere through the three disciplines of singing, dancing and acting.
showcases per year to parents, family and friends at The Centre.
Full information on the activities that take place, and how the school is run, can be found by downloading the School prospectus.
Of course we understand that parents may have concerns about how their child may settle and adapt to their time at the school. Please contact the Principals office to discuss how we can make this transition as smooth as possible and give you a bit of respite on a Saturday morning.


Back a good few months ago I bought a new camera so that you lovely people could see what happens at a Taylor Taylor mobile disco or DJ booking… This video was filmed on the new camera's first outing, but it's taken a little while to get round to editing it together!
In the video you can see our giant video screen playing music videos, but it was also used earlier in the evening to display a photo slide show of the birthday girl. You can also see a starlit LED dance floor in the video, which we can supply if you would like one for your event.

\section{GENERAL LAYOUT OF SPS COLLIDER OPERATIONS}

In the first collider runs, the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) was operated with three proton bunches against three anti-proton bunches, colliding in six collision points.
The proton bunch intensity at that time was close to $2\times10^{11}$ and the anti-proton intensities were about ten times less.
In this configuration, total tune shifts of 0.028 were sometimes obtained but the anti-proton lifetimes in the beginning of the coast were poor.
A horizontal pretzel scheme was introduced to separate the beams in the unwanted collision points (Fig.~\ref{fig:pretz}) and the SPS could then profit from the upgraded anti-proton accumulation facility, operating with six against six bunches.
In this scheme the beams were separated in 9 of the 12 crossing points.

\begin{figure}[h]
\includegraphics*[width=80mm, totalheight=58mm, angle=-00]{karel001.jpg}
\caption{Schematic layout of the SPS pretzel scheme.}
\label{fig:pretz}
\end{figure}

The beam separation was 6\,$\sigma$ or better in all the crossing points, except for one, where the separation was only 3.5\,$\sigma$ (Fig.~\ref{fig:sep}).

~~~\\
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
   \includegraphics*[width=80mm, height=65mm, angle=-00]{fig2.png}
\caption{Beam half-separation in the 12 crossing points.}
\label{fig:sep}
\end{figure}

The same electrostatic separators were used during injection to separate the beams at all crossing points, in order to keep emittances small during the injection and acceleration process.
The parameters of the SPS collider in the final six-on-six operation are listed in Table~\ref{tab:66}.

\begin{table}[h]
	\centering
	\caption{General parameters during the SPS collider run with six protons on six anti-protons. The beam emittance $\epsilon$ is defined as $\epsilon=4\gamma\sigma^2/\beta$. }
	\begin{tabular}{lc}
		\toprule{\textbf{Parameter}}	&{\textbf{value}}		\\
		\midrule
			Beam injection energy	& 26\,GeV				\\
			Beam coast energy		& 315\,GeV				\\
			Proton intensity		& $1.7\times10^{11}$ p/bunch, 6 bunches	\\
			Anti-proton intensity	& $0.8\times10^{11}$ $\overline{\mathrm{p}}$/bunch, 6 bunches	\\
			$\epsilon_x,\epsilon_y$	& 15--20\,mm mrad\\
			$\xi _{x,y}$ 		& 0.015--0.020(total)	\\
		\bottomrule
	\end{tabular}
	\label{tab:66}
\end{table}

The tune diagram with typical proton and anti-proton footprints during physics runs is shown in Fig.\ref{fig:wd}.
The tune difference between protons and anti-protons could be trimmed with sextupoles, placed where the beams were separated.
The core of the beam is at the higher tune values.

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
   \includegraphics*[width=75mm, height=75mm, angle=-00]{Picture5.png}
\caption{Working point during physics runs. The horizontal and vertical lines represent respectively the 16th (.6875), the 13th (.6923) and the 10th (.700) order resonance.}
\label{fig:wd}
\end{figure}

\section{THE INFLUENCE OF BEAM SIZE}

In some of the runs, where the machine went into coast with substantially smaller pbar emittances, the protons had a substantially shorter lifetime and gave a lot of proton background, and was in spite of the fact that the pbar intensity was 10 times less than the proton intensity.
This phenomenon could be artificially reproduced by scraping one of the beams with a collimator at a place where they are separated and observing the background and/or the lifetime of the other beam.
In Fig.\ref{fig:back} a horizontal tune scan is shown looking at the proton background before and after the pbar emittance was reduced by 30\%.
Although the intensity of the anti-protons was reduced by the scraping process, the protons seem to suffer much more from the beam-beam interaction.
This experiment is showing that the high amplitude particles (amplitude measured in units of $\sigma$ of the other beam) suffer from the high-order resonances.

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
   \includegraphics*[width=85mm, height=65mm, angle=-00]{Picture1.jpg}
\caption{Proton background as a function of tune, before (Pbgd1) and after (Pbgd2) the pbar emittance was reduced by 30\%.}
\label{fig:back}
\end{figure}

In fact it turned out to be very important for the lifetime and background that the two beams had the same size.
In case of unequal beam sizes, the bigger beam would loose all the particles sitting outside the other beam mainly, creating a low lifetime and high background in the beginning of the coast.
This is illustrated in Fig.\ref{fig:emit}, where the evolution of the proton and anti-proton emittances is plotted during a normal physics coast.
By accident the protons are smaller than the anti-protons at the beginning, but throughout the coast the anti-protons mainly lose high amplitude particles and after three to four hours the anti-proton emittance is reduced and matches the proton emittance.
The small growth of the proton emittance is due to intra-beam scattering.

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
   \includegraphics*[width=85mm, height=65mm, angle=-00]{fig5.jpg}
\caption{Evolution of the proton and anti-proton emittance during the first 200 min.\ of a coast.}
\label{fig:emit}
\end{figure}

\section{THE INFLUENCE OF SEPARATION}

Tune scans were also performed for different separations.
Reducing the separation in the parasitic crossing from 6\,$\sigma$ to 3\,$\sigma$, increases the background on the 16th as well as on the 13th order resonance as can be seen in Fig.~\ref{fig:tunescan}.
In another experiment only one bunch of protons was colliding head-on with one bunch of anti-protons at two collision points.
The beam was then separated at one of the two points in steps of 0.1\,$\sigma$.
The result is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:backsep}.
The background rises very quickly as a function of separation, reaching a maximum at 0.3\,$\sigma$.
The background then decreases very slowly as a function of further separation.

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
   \includegraphics*[width=85mm, height=65mm, angle=-00]{fig6.jpg}
\caption{Tune scans with full (Pbgd1) and half separation (Pbgd2).}

\end{figure}

\centering
   \includegraphics*[width=85mm, height=65mm, angle=-00]{Picture2.jpg}
\caption{Proton background as a function of the separation.}
\label{fig:backsep}
\end{figure}

\section{THE EFFECT OF TUNE MODULATION}

High-order resonances in non-linear fields manifest themselves as stable islands in phase space.
Most of the particles will have a varying amplitude but the motion stays periodic and stable.
Tune modulation will make islands move inward and outward.
For small frequencies, the particles will stay trapped in the islands and they can be transported to very high amplitudes due to tune variation.
If the tune is varied fast enough there will be passages created between the islands through which the
particles can move very quickly inward or outward (cf.\ empty bucket acceleration).
At even higher frequencies the separatrices of the island become transparent.
Particles can be trapped in an island at a low amplitude and leave the island again at a high amplitude. Whatever the mechanism, tune modulation, together with non-linear resonances, creates the possibilities for particles to move to higher amplitudes.
This could be very clearly observed in the SPS: in order to have good lifetimes with colliding beams, the chromaticity had to be tuned as close as possible to zero.
Also, the noise on the main magnets had be reduced to a minimum in order to preserve good lifetimes during collision.
The effect of tune modulation can be easily demonstrated by simulation.
In Fig.~\ref{fig:diff} the results are shown of a simple simulation using a head-on beam-beam kick separated by a linear transfer matrix in which the phase advance is modulated with a frequency of 200\,Hz.
In the first case the tune modulation is $5\times10^{-5}$ and in the second case it is $3\times10^{-4}$.
The diffusion rate ($z$-axis) is shown as a function of the unperturbed tune ($x$-axis) and the initial amplitude ($y$-axis) ranging from 0 to 10\,$\sigma$.
In both cases the 16th and 19th order resonance can clearly be seen.
In the first case, the particles on the 10th order resonance move out with a diffusion time constant of 1 minute or faster only from 4\,$\sigma$ onwards and on the 16th order only from 7\,$\sigma$ onwards.
In the second case, with the stronger tune modulation, the particles on the 10th order move out with the same speed already at 2.5\,$\sigma$ and on the 16th order already at 5\,$\sigma$.

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
   \includegraphics*[width=85mm, height=110mm, angle=+00]{karel004.jpg}
\caption{Diffusion rates ($z$) as function of tune ($x$) and initial amplitude ($y$: 0 to 10\,$\sigma$). Total tune shift 0.012. Tune modulation 200\,Hz, modulation amplitude 0.000 05 (above) and 0.0003 (below).}
\label{fig:diff}
\end{figure}

\section{CONCLUSIONS}

\begin{itemize}

\item Experience with the SPS proton anti-proton collider showed that it is very important to have the same beam sizes for both beams in order to obtain good lifetimes and backgrounds;
\item The high order resonances have almost no effect on the particles with small amplitudes;
\item The 'bad' effect of miss-crossing reaches a maximum at a separation of 0.2 to 0.3\,$\sigma$.
\item All tune modulation (chromaticity, power supply ripple, etc.) should be reduced to a minimum.

\end{itemize}

This was origianlly a recipe I developed for Fiber One cereal. I decided I did not like the taste, so I went back and redid it using granola. Much better, and less hazardous if you eat more than one!
Beat egg, and combine with peanut butter and honey in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to bubble. It only takes a couple of minutes - don't stop stirring as it sets up quickly.
Remove from heat and stir in cereal and nuts; mix well.
Spread and press evenly into a greased 8" pan. Press firmly and evenly with the back of a large spoon or measuring cup.
Chill until firm; cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.

Anderson Cooper Fires Back After 'Idiotic' Trump Jr. Accuses Him Of Lying About Hurricane Flooding
Alyssa Norwin
A new feud has erupted between Anderson Cooper and Donald Trump Jr., after the latter seemingly accused the CNN host of lying about how bad the flooding from Hurricane Florence was. See Anderson's epic response here!
Anderson Cooper spent ten minutes of his Monday night show on CNN addressing a tweet that Donald Trump Jr. wrote about him over the weekend. The tweet in question included a photo of Anderson submerged in water on a flooded street during Hurricane Ike in 2008. This photo began to go viral once again as Hurricane Florence hit the Carolinas over the weekend, with many accusing Anderson of kneeling in the water to make it seem deeper than it really was. Although Trump Jr. didn't make that reference directly, he tweeted, "It's a shame that CNN's ratings are down 41%. What's worse is there's a simple solution that they refuse to accept. Stop lying to try to make Donald Trump look bad."
Don Jr. included the throwback hurricane photo without any context, seemingly implying that he believed Anderson was also "lying" about how bad the hurricane was to improve ratings. However, he didn't point out that this photo wasn't even taken during this hurricane! "I debated whether I should even respond tonight to the president's son," Anderson admitted. "I know he considers himself an outdoorsman and pays a lot of money to be led to wildlife in Africa that he then kills. But I'm not sure if he's actually been to a hurricane or flood. I didn't see him down in North Carolina over the last few days helping out, lending a hand, but I'm sure he was doing something important besides just tweeting lies."
During his ten minute message to Trump Jr. and his followers, Anderson made it clear that it was "idiotic" for anyone to believe that he would kneel in flooded waters just to make it look deeper. "I've covered hurricanes for about 14 years and it really does make me sad to think that anyone would think I would try to fake something or overly dramatize a disaster," he admitted."

— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) September 16, 2018
Anderson shared the clip of his speech on Twitter afterwards, with a mention directly to Donald Trump Jr. on the social networking site. "What are the changes @DonaldTrupmJr apologizes for lying about me?" he asked. "I'm not holding my breath."

Q: PickerView shows up with no options, even though I have set them I have a UIPickerView, and it is showing up, but it just shows (null). Why is this? I have it conformed to the delegate's I need in.
EDIT: more detail.
Basically, my app is a flight logbook. You make planes, which you saves, and you can pick it when you make a new session. The planeNum key stores how many planes there are, and the key Plane%liTailNumber has the tail number for that plane.
This is my code:
  - (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView {
        return 1;
}

- (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component {
    return (long)[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]integerForKey:@"planeNum"];
}

NSMutableArray *tailPickerOptions;

- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {

    NSInteger num = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]integerForKey:@"planeNum"];

    while (num > 0){
        --num;
        tailPickerOptions = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
        NSString *dTailNumber = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]objectForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Plane%liTailNumber", (long)num]]];
        [tailPickerOptions addObject:dTailNumber];
        NSLog(@"%@", tailPickerOptions);
    }
    return tailPickerOptions[row];
}

A: You initialize a new array for each loop of the while. Your code also doesn't ensure you actually initialize the array - if num = 0, you'll never go in and declare the array. There should be a warning or compiler error for this. In the best case scenario because you keep declaring a new array in your loop, you'll return a max of 1 element ever.
Move your array declaration above the while loop.


Kerry, the Taste and Nutrition Company, has released new clean label research on sweetening agents. The company surveyed over 760 American consumers in the United States.
Kerry measured consumer perceptions of 17 sweetening agents to understand their attitudes, preference, and ideal sweetening agents across six product categories: sports drinks, carbonated soft drinks, ice cream, flavored alcoholic malt beverages, granola bars, and cookies and cakes. In their research, Kerry found that 71 percent of consumers read the sugar content on ingredient labels, and 46 percent of consumers strongly want to reduce their consumption of sugar. The results of the study provide unique insight into consumer preferences of types of sweetening agents, preferred intensity of sweetness, and impact on the taste and nutrition of the product.
The study included American consumers across gender, age groups, and ethnicities, uncovering specific categories that were perceived to have high amounts of sugar, the amount of sugar consumers expect across product categories, and taste preferences for reduced sugar products. The research focuses on how consumer perceptions can inform the manufacturing, retail, and foodservice industries in an effort to understand the future of food and beverages.

2017 Golden Ticket Scholarship
The new "Golden Ticket" Scholarship Program recognizes exceptional osteopathic medical students while addressing the burden student loans place on coming generations of physicians. The five students being recognized tonight have demonstrated financial need and yet are in the top 25% of their class, have unmatched dedication to the osteopathic profession, and are committed volunteers in their local communities.
Daniel Sullivan, a third-year medical student at the University of Pikeville - Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine, thought his medical school years would be spent studying, and doing little else. Yet he was elected class vice-president in his first year, and the leadership opportunities kept coming. After being elected as Student Government Association President and serving on the Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents, "I began to realize how valuable it was to get involved and how much could be accomplished in addition to academics," he says.
Student Dr. Sullivan has received several awards for academic performance while in osteopathic medical school. He serves on several of his school's committees and maintains active memberships in multiple professional societies. His volunteer experience is centered in helping residents his Kentucky community, whether working with the local animal shelter, homeless shelter or assisted living facility.
Linda Dunatov, EdD, Associate Dean for Student Affairs, says Sullivan "consistently impresses me with his ideas, his infectious enthusiasm, and his commitment to promoting the academic and professional success and overall wellness of his student constituents."
Eric Goldwaser
Eric Goldwaser, PhD, a sixth-year student in Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine's (RowanSOM) dual DO/PhD program, is extremely dedicated to osteopathic research. His PhD primary research interest was in the area of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. As the Research Director of the Camden Community Health Center, he implemented a pilot study on a chronic disease management program targeting hypertension. He also held a one-year appointment as the National Research Representative to AACOM.
Now a third-year medical student, Student Dr. Goldwaser has held offices in both elected and appointed capacities, at the local and national levels, including as vice president his class. "During his academic career at RowanSOM, Eric has consistently demonstrated an inquisitive nature, a great rapport with patients, and a genuine interest in helping others," says Thomas Cavalieri, Dean.
Deborah A. Podolin, PhD, Associate Professor and Vice Chair of Education, sums it up: "It is no exaggeration to say Eric is an outstanding student, an outstanding scientist, and has a deep commitment to academic excellence and a profound passion for bettering whatever community he finds himself in."
Kortnee Koziara
Kortnee Koziara, a third-year medical student at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, was drawn to medicine after her brother was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as an infant. As a result, "I was repeatedly exposed to the many difficulties patients and their families must navigate in order to receive medical care, which has deeply influenced my desire to practice pediatric medicine," she says.
"Kortnee is one of our most active student leaders. She hit the ground running when she arrived at VCOM…She is a natural leader with remarkable interpersonal skills and the innate ability to connect with others," says Jan Wilcox, DO, Dean. She is active in the Student Government Association, first as OMS I class representative, later elected as SGA president, as well as the Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents. She helped initiate a "big sibling" program at VCOM, pairing incoming students with older student mentors to provide support during their education.
Student Dr. Koziara embodies the principles of osteopathic medicine every day, particularly through her dedication to service. She regularly volunteers at free clinics, school functions and community events, seizing every opportunity to teach people about osteopathic medicine.
Ryan Paulus
"My path to osteopathic medicine stemmed from my constant motivation to better the lives of the people around me," says Ryan Paulus, a fourth-year osteopathic medical student at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine-Dublin Campus (OUHCOM). His goal is to serve as family physician for a rural, underserved community, much like his family physician did growing up. He is one of his school's Primary Care Scholars and is in its Rural and Urban Scholars Program, and serves as Executive President of OUHCOM's American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians' chapter.
This commitment to improving the lives of those around him isn't limited to medicine. He has accumulated more than 150 hours of community service over the last two years of medical school. He helped organize a free health fair in an underserved area of Columbus, Ohio, which has grown over the years to include grant funding and a public education campaign. He also has completed multiple research projects and presentations, both as an undergraduate and medical student.
"Student Doctor Paulus is a campus leader and one of the most well rounded students with whom I have had the pleasure of working," says William Burke, DO, OUHCOM Dean. Lecturer Leah Sheridan, PhD, "Ryan is not only academically outstanding, but is also respectful, kind, patient, inquisitive, generous, and above all, humble."
Vanessa Halvorsen
A fourth-year student at the Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine, Vanessa Halvorsen attributes her success to her drive, a drive she developed as a child when her mother fell ill: "Watching her search for affordable care changed my point of view on healthcare and what a privilege it was. It helped me to see that the best way I could help my mom and others like her was to become a doctor. Not just any doctor though--one that had all the tools to give the best patient-centered care they deserved. An osteopathic physician."
Student Dr. Halvorsen has emerged as a leader among her fellow OMS IVs, being elected this year as the Student Representative on the AOA Board of Trustees. She also served as her school's SGA president and a representative on the Council of Osteopathic Student Governments Executive Board. She is a dedicated researcher, with several projects ongoing and others recently published in peer-reviewed journals, including the JAOA.
She regularly volunteers in her community, having served as an Ambassador for the American Heart Association and as a tutor for a women and children's center. Associate Dean Don Havins, MD, JD, calls her "an unusually highly motivated and brilliant student… Her social skills and dedication to serving her classmates is only superseded by her intellect and superb time management skills."


Movable Type and SQL are annoying me lately, so I've (at least temporarily) set up shop at Tumblr – at least for the linked posts. My latest over there – Vans is opening up a 20,000 sf retail shop in Greenpoint – smack dab in the middle of what should be Bushwick Inlet Park (I hope its a short lease).
just saw that autumn bowl posted their bowl for sale on ebay 🙁 they're further down (73 west st) and i think had been having trouble for a while – but still sad and strangely coincidental.

Onondaga Flames Sign Power Hitting Catcher Gage Lanning
The Onondaga Flames announced today they have signed former Herkimer Community College star catcher Gage Lanning for the 2017 summer season. The 6'1″, 207 lb. Lanning has enrolled at Canisius College and will play for the Golden Griffons with his remaining two years of NCAA eligibility.
After a remarkable career with Junior College baseball power Herkimer CCC, the power hitting catcher finished his HCCC career in style last year with an incredible .405 batting average and 48 RBIs in 40 games. In his 116 at bats, he struck out only 12 times while compiling a slash line of .405/.503/690. He was elected to the 2016 NJCAA Division III All-Region Team as First Team catcher. Gage played for the Martha's Vineyard Sharks of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League this past summer.
An excellent defensive catcher, Lanning finished the Generals 2016 season with a 1.000 fielding percentage. Only one runner managed a stolen base while he was behind the plate.
Flames Director of Baseball Ryan Stevens, commented, "We are excited to have Gage's big bat in our lineup next summer. CNY fans are in for a real treat."
Lanning graduated from Paul V Moore HS, Central Square, NY.

On Veterans Day, ACE Honors a Victory Over Evil
Kathryn Bernheimer October 29, 2019	Arts & Culture Comments Off on On Veterans Day, ACE Honors a Victory Over Evil
ACE presents a special Veterans Day screening of "Prosecuting Evil: The Extraordinary World of Ben Ferencz," directed by Barry Avrich (2018, 83 minutes), on Monday, November 11, at 2 pm, with a talkback with Professor Paul Shankman. To register CLICK HERE.
Barely five feet tall, Ben Ferencz may not look like a war hero, but he was wearing his US Army uniform when he bravely faced down Germany's most notorious Nazis. He won his battle handily, defeating the enemy with brutal blows. Armed with the rule of law, and blessed with moral fortitude, Ferencz used his brilliant mind as a weapon to exact justice.
On Veterans Day, ACE honors Ben Ferencz for his service as the chief prosecutor for the US Army at the Einsatzgruppen Trial – one of the twelve military trials held by the U.S. authorities at Nuremberg, Germany – with a screening of "Prosecuting Evil: The Extraordinary World of Ben Ferencz." Barry Avrich's acclaimed profile was shown at the 2019 Boulder International Film Festival.
Now 98, Ferenz is a lawyer whose passion for justice for victims of atrocity crimes continues today. The Romanian immigrant grew up in dire poverty in Hell's Kitchen, and attended Harvard before enlisting in the US Army to fight in WW II, where he liberated camps and began documenting the crimes of the Holocaust. He has spent a lifetime advocating for restitution for Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and later fought for the establishment of the International Criminal Court. He continues to write and speak worldwide for international law and global peace.
At 27 years old, the World War II veteran became lead prosecutor in what has been called the biggest murder trial in history. It was his first trial. He could not see over the podium and was given a telephone book to stand on as he stared down his captives.
All 22 Nazi officials tried for murdering more than a million people were convicted.

I am a sociologist broadly interested in social control, the welfare state, race, and applied statistics. My work explores the causes and consequences of the social distribution of state violence and coercion. I am currently pursuing this line of research through two major empirical projects.
The first draws attention to child protection systems as key sites of family disruption. This work shows that American child protection systems are tightly intertwined with carceral and welfare policy systems, and that race and colonization play a central role in explaining the spatial and social distribution of family separation.
The second provides detailed analyses of the prevalence of police-involved killings in the US. This project uses novel data to provide estimates of mortality risk by race, sex, and place. It also evaluates how institutions and politics affect the prevalence of police violence.
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University – Newark and a fellow at the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research at Cornell University affiliated with the National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect.

Traffic-related offenses are the most commonly charged crimes in Michigan, and they can affect people from all walks of life. For many people, a traffic ticket or a drunk driving charge represents the first time they have ever faced any type of legal action accusing them of a crime, and they may not know how to react.
Never forget that you have the right to a defense. With the help of a skilled lawyer, you may be able to beat the charges or at least minimize the damage they can do to your life.
Many people who are accused of drunk driving feel hopeless. That is a mistake. You can defend against DUI charges.
The prosecution must prove its case against you based on evidence. If the evidence is weak, the prosecution fails. This is why much of DUI defense is based on attacking the evidence.
We will investigate the circumstances of your arrest, looking for flaws in the case against you. If the police exceeded their authority in arresting or searching you, some of the evidence must be suppressed. If their breath test or blood test equipment was faulty, any evidence from those tests is weak.
We can't promise that we can knock out the evidence in every case, but we do promise to give you professional representation to defend your rights and protect your future.
Perhaps the most common mistake people make in defending themselves against criminal charges is waiting too long to speak to an attorney. Contact our office today to learn about your options for defense. Call 800-724-3117 or contact us by email.

The Strange One
Legendary actor Ben Gazzara made his feature film debut in The Strange One, recreating his Broadway role in Calder Willingham's gripping "End as a Man." Gazzara stars as Cadet Sgt. Jocko DeParis, a sadomasochistic bully in a Southern military academy who uses his magnetism and the school's own military code to manipulate his fellow cadets and officers. When he engineers the expulsion of a hated rival, his reign of terror begins to unravel. The film features a solid cast drawn from The Actor's Studio in New York, including Pat Hingle, Mark Richman, George Peppard (also in his film debut) and Larry Gates, and is directed by Jack Garfein and scripted by Willingham, based on his novel. Censored in its original theatrical release for its homosexual undertones, The Strange One is presented restored and uncut.

Q: PySerial Input/Output Error I have a quadruped robot running with an SSC-32 servo controller. The servo controller has a serial port, so I purchased a USB-to-Serial cable to send commands to it. Because I am most proficient with Python, I decided to use PySerial to open and close the Serial port. I am running a Linux VM on my MAC.
The error message that displays is included below. Also included is my code.
As you will see, it is having difficulty accessing the port. However, when I unplug and replug the port in, the error message disappears and I am able to successfully send commands. The next time I try to run the code, the error message appears. I suspect that the port is having difficulty closing because when I unplug the cable, I am manually closing it and the code works as a result.
To try and fix the problem, I have tried removing the timeout and changing the timeout time. Moreover, I have added a while loop that ensures the port is closing. None of the preliminary solutions have worked.
Let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Christopher

A: I determined that I had to configure the port using the following command: sudo chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB0. This was able to solve the problem I experienced.


No one is talking about paving over the street. They say it will look like Colón, with flat paving stones in a 2 meter strip down the middle and cobblestones along the sides.
What's wrong with the Mexican and Expat community working together? Maybe some of the vendors would like to participate and donate. It means more business for them.
I agree, and would think a collection taken at the end of day on Wednesday would be appropriate. They won't likely be donating 1600 pesos each, rather what they can relatively afford, maybe 5, 10, or 20. It's not about money.
"If you come to help, you're wasting your time.
But if you come because your liberation is bound with mine, let us work together."
Hector is planning to discuss the funding of the project with the vendors. They had already complained to him about customers getting injured. It is bad for business.
News flash - Mexicans get old too and also have been injured there!
Ok I get the point, but other than looking pretty I dont see much of an advantage, especially when resources could be used in other areas fixing existing imfrastructure, after all the tianguis is only one day a week.
tomgates Posted Today, 01:51 PM "It works fine as it is."
If it works so 'fine' where it is, why do they need pavers? Even after pavers are installed it remains hilly and probably slick when wet.
The malecon park is under utilized weekdays.
Park already has sidewalks. Also abuts street and parking area.
Better parking in area (incl. the area in front of Old Posada/Yves).
Nearer to more restaurants who would appreciate the crowd, assuming some would stop for breakfast or comida.
No capital investment/donations required (important in these tough times).
Doesn't seem to be 'traditional' at current location (per La Chula's statement re: used to be elsewhere).
Agree this would make a much better place.
I mean't that Revolution Street was the ideal location. If there was a better location it would be there already.
Just look at Colon, they can't keep the flag stones in place, they keep coming loose. Why would you want to do another street with them?
Why would you want to do another street with them?
Just a guess, but possibly so people who have infirmities can attend and enjoy it, and so elder people without infirmities could attend and get around without the likelihood of falling down or twisting an ankle.
But, that's just a guess. Perhaps they just want to make it pretty.
Absolutely NOT at the Malecon. It would tear up the grass. There won't be parking if the vendors park there. The place is useless without lush grass.
Businesses located nearby are destination businesses selling much the same stuff as the tianguis vendors.
I would prefer to see the paving wider than 2 meters. And for goodness sake make sure it goes down the middle of the street. Remember Colon and that the city workers were told to make it so a car tires would roll over them, so they did, but forgot to account for the parking.
Adoquin blocks would be a much better solution than laja, as is on Colon. Adoquin can be seen on Lazaro Cardenas in Upper Ajijic.
Not exactly. They would set up in the street as they do now except on the Malecon the street in front is a lot wider and longer too and with access from three north-south streets. There's all that parking in front of Yves and on all the streets leading down. More people could walk there because the location in more central.
I also think they should look at the south side service road from GDL Pharmacy to El Torito. Flat, accessible, more parking, longer.
Revolucion suffers from too steep, too crowned, poor access, too small for all the vendors so they overflow onto Guadalupe Victoria. I see no point is spending money to make it a little more walkable when that is all that might be gained and the major flaws would remain.
I think someone suggested that the vendors could set up on the grassy area next to the sidewalks going through the park. Using the parking area itself seems more feasible and accessible.
I don't see that the nearby businesses are selling the same thing that the Tiangus is selling. Most of them are restaurants, galleries or higher end clothing/jewelry stores.
The parking area in front of Yves' could be watered down before the crowds arrive.
Perhaps these various ideas should be presented to the Dellegado about now?
The malecon idea has merit, but my question comes from the homeowners on the street.
The current tiangus is on a, primarily, non-residential street and does not interfere with any home owners. The location talked about here already has it's problems during the season with parking. Did you know that the homeowners in that area now are allowed to have No Parking permits in front of their property so that they are not denied access and can buy legal signs for that purpose?
We must consider this, as a malecon move would, for one day a week, cause disgruntlement from these people, whereas the current location has no interference with homes. While the current location is not ideal, would we incur too much push back from malecon residents if, even for one day a week, their street was turned into a noisy market? I think yes.
There are affected homeowners at the top and bottom of the Tianquis street on the west side. Also on Guadalupe Victoria, south side.
So it is not correct to say "no interference."
The unfortunate folks who live there now have the following somewhat disruptive events going on both day and night: Cars in the evening with boom boxes; impromptu parties; concerts at the bandstand; a skateboard park; dancing gym groups and on weekends: endless picnickers.
Tiangus? less than a full day.
But then, there's no way I'd choose to live in that location. I prefer different problems, such as those on my street: no parking at all, hardly ever!
And which of you are going to pay for all the federal permits to operate a business on federal land at the malecon? And maybe we can put up a block of cells / stalls. I'm sure Chapala has the plans?
Once again, we are talking about interlocking paving blocks which will give a smooth yet non skid surface. It is planned as two meters down the center of the street to give the best surface possible for all young, old, mexican, foreign, handicapped, straight, gay, etc. if someone can fund three meters we will gladly add a meter and make it three meters wide.
We have shade, a quiet street without heavy traffic, and few houses. We want to make it safe for all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need more donors to commit!!!
OK - even though I don't frequent it too much, I'm for any civic improvement to enhance our town. You can count on my pledge. Someone needs to PM me so I can get more info.
ChrisB, I agree that where is it now is good, just dangerous to walk. I think changing location will bring more problems. Fixing the road will be great. Asking the vendors is an other option. Just my idea.
By now, it should be plain that unlike the other initiatives, all of which remain incomplete, there is not general agreement that this project or the current location are the only solution and it is suggested that perhaps a little thinking out of the box would be in order before spending a bunch of money on this while the Plaza remains incomplete, there are still plenty of potholes and sidewalks needing repair, junk cars on the street, broken trash cans needing repair, etc.
There is an opportunity for the expat community to lead by example and show the benefits to the greater community when things are approached in an organized and disciplined way such that priorities are set and initiatives are taken to completion before new ones are started. I realize that the idea of finishing things fully before moving on is somewhat alien to the culture of this country and we should not be lecturing people about that but instead simply taking the lead and showing the benefits of prioritization and completion through our actions rather than more words.
Let me give you an example of how this can work. For years, Ajijic and Lakeside had a growing graffiti problem. Periodically, money, supplies and volunteers would be found, some painting out would be done, and then everyone went home and the tagging came back worse than ever. Starting a few years ago, a different group of volunteers committed to a sustained and methodical approach where areas were cleared in an organized, outwardly spreading approach, and then kept clear, week after week, month after month, year after year, to this very day.
Seeing the effort at last succeeding, the local realtors began to support it and continued to support it year after year. As a result, the problem has dwindled to a shadow of its former self, the volunteers work very few hours, and the continuing resources provided by the realtors covered more and more territory until the area has been cleaned and kept clean pretty much from the Jocotepec line to and through Chapala.
I suggest that this is the model we need to apply to these other local concerns. Focused, carried to completion and sustained.
Kudos to you Dan and John and all the others responsible for this worth while endeavor. More than money you got dirty and got the job done.
You're welcome Bob, but please note I'm not hijacking this thread to talk about graffiti. What I wanted to do above is use this as an example of how to really get these things done to completion that we'd all like to see. I believe the very successful graffiti effort provides a directly useful and valid model for accomplishing Hector's excellent beginnings.

Q: My python program can't find the path to insert a .ttf I am using the FPDF library in python to create a report, it contains the Arial font, and it needs a .ttf to work correctly when generating the report.
pdf = PDF(orientation = 'L', unit = 'mm', format = 'A4')
pdf.add_font('Arial', '', "/var/www/johannasenvironment/JohannasEnviroment/JohannasEnviroment/treasuryEmails/mails/arial.ttf", uni=True)

At the moment of executing the program, it does not find the arial.ttf file that is in the given path, I already tried with relative path and absolute path, and it still does not find the file. In windows it works correctly, I don't know what happens when you pass it to linux.
I am doing something wrong? Should it be implemented differently when I work on linux? if so, how can i do it?
I appreciate your collaboration

"Another opening of another show", as the opening song to Kiss Me Kate says - and what a great show it is, another in a long line of successful Crucible Christmas musicals.
The story is set backstage in a theatre and from the lengthy opening number, which takes place as the cast are gathering to start rehearsals, you feel are in the hands of a talented team who really know how to make a show tune sparkle.
The show that the actors are rehearsing is a Broadway adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, where Petruchio seeks to tame the angrily reluctant Katharine, and leading man Fred (Edward Baker-Duly) is having similar troubles with his ex-wife and co-star (Rebecca Lock).
Their romantic troubles even break out on stage, threatening to disrupt the whole show, as life imitates art.
Cue the arrival of a couple of gangsters who want to settle a gambling debt. They are willing to accompany the leading lady on stage to make sure she doesn't make good on her threat to leave, as that means they won't get their money back.
Delroy Atkinson and Joel Montague are a great pair of comic scene-stealers and they do a fantastic job with their big number, Brush Up Your Shakespeare.
Jamie Campbell, the real-life inspiration for Sheffield-born musical Everyone's Talking about Jamie, was in the audience last night to cheer on Layton Williams, who is about to take the show's lead role in the West End. Judging from his fabulous performance of Too Darn Hot, he'll take London by storm.
The two leads Edward and Rebecca both have some great numbers that they perform beautifully and Amy Ellen Richardson and Dex Lee, playing another troubled couple, give them a run for their money.
Slick direction from Paul Foster and clever choreography from Strictly's Matt Flint help to give the show its wow factor.
Janet Bird's vibrant designs also work well to help create the right atmosphere.
Some of the big numbers also went on too long but a great cast created a thoroughly enjoyable evening together.
