Grade of membership or GoM models (also known as admixture models or "Latent Dirichlet Allocation") are a generalization of cluster models that allow each sample to have membership in multiple clusters. It is widely used to model ancestry of individuals in population genetics based on SNP microsatellite data and also in natural language processing for modeling documents [(???); Pritchard2000]. This R package implements tools to visualize the clusters obtained from fitting topic models using a Structure plot (Rosenberg et al. 2002) and extract the top features/genes that distinguish the clusters. In presence of known technical or batch effects, the package also allows for correction of these confounding effects.
In the context of RNA-seq expression (bulk or singlecell seq) data, the grade of membership model allows each sample (usually a tissue sample or a single cell) to have some proportion of its RNA-seq reads coming from each cluster. For typical bulk RNA-seq experiments this assumption can be argued as follows: each tissue sample is a mixture of different cell types, and so clusters could represent cell types (which are determined by the expression patterns of the genes), and the membership of a sample in each cluster could represent the proportions of each cell type present in that sample.
Many software packages available for document clustering are applicable to modeling RNA-seq data. Here, we use the R package maptpx (Taddy - International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and and 2012 2012) to fit these models, and add functionality for visualizing the results and annotating clusters by their most distinctive genes to help biological interpretation. We also provide additional functionality to correct for batch effects and also compare the outputs from two different grade of membership model fits to the same set of samples but different in terms of feature description or model assumptions.
CountClust requires the following CRAN-R packages: maptpx, ggplot2, cowplot, parallel, reshape2, RColorBrewer, flexmix,gtools, devtools along with the Bioconductor package: limma.
Before installing , pelase install the latest version of the maptpx package on Github.
The development version of the CountClust package is available on Github, along with some data packages used in examples for this vignette.
We install data packages as expressionSet objects for bulk RNA-seq reads data from Brain tissue samples of human donors under GTEx (Genotype Tissue Expression) V6 Project (GTEx Consortium, 2013) (GTEx Consortium 2013 )and a singlecell RNA-seq reads data across developmental stages in mouse embryo due to Deng et al 2014 (Deng et al. 2014).
Deng et al 2014 singleCellRNASeqMouseDeng2014 data package is a processed version of the data publicly available at Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO:GSE45719)[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE45719].
GTExV6Brain The data package for GTEx V6 Brain sample data is also a processed version of the data publicly available at the GTEx Portal (dbGaP accession phs000424.v6.p1, release date: Oct 19, 2015).
Load the scRNA-seq data due to Deng et al 2014.
Load the bulk-RNA seq data from GTEx V6 brain data.
We use a wrapper function of the topics() function in the maptpx due to Matt Taddy (Taddy - International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and and 2012 2012).
As an example, we fit the topic model for k=4 on the GTEx V6 Brain data and save the GoM model output file to user-defined directory.
One can also input a vector of clusters under nclus_vec as we do for a list of cluster numbers from \(2\) to \(7\) for Deng et al 2014 data.
Now we perform the visualization for k=6 for the Deng et al 2014 data.
We load the GoM fit for k=6.
##  "K"     "theta" "omega" "BF"    "D"
We prepare the annotations for the visualization.
Now we perform the visualization.
In the above plot, the samples in each batch have been sorted by the proportional memebership of the most representative cluster in that batch. One can also use order_sample=FALSE for the un-ordered version, which retains the order as in the data (see Supplementary analysis for example).
Now we perform the Structure plot visualization for k=4 for GTEx V6 data for Brain samples .
We load the GoM fit for k=4.
We now prepare the annotations for visualization GTEx brain tissue results.
We extract the top genes driving each cluster using the ExtractTopFeatures functionality of the CountClust package. We first perform the cluster annotations from the GoM model fit with $k=6` on the single cell RNA-seq data due to Deng et al.
We tabulate the top \(5\) genes for these \(6\) clusters.
We next perform the same for the topic model fit on the GTEx V6 Brain samples data with k=4 clusters.
The top \(3\) genes (ensemble IDs) driving these \(4\) clusters.
As an additional analysis, we apply the CountClust tools on another single-cell RNA-seq data from mouse spleen due to Jaitin et al 2014 (Jaitin et al. 2014). The data had technical effects in the form of amplification batch which the user may want to correct for.
We first install and load the data.
Extracting the non-ERCC genes satisfying some quality measures.
We filter the metadata likewise.
We fit the GoM model for k=7 and plot the Structure plot visualization to show that the amplification batch indeed drives the clustering patterns.
Load results of completed analysis.
##  "K"     "theta" "omega" "BF"    "D"     "X"
Visualize the sample expression profile.
It seems from the above Structure plot that amplification batch drives the clusters. To remove the effect of amplification batch, one can use. For this, we use the BatchCorrectedCounts() functionality of the package.
We would like to thank Deng et al and the GTEx Consortium for having making the data publicly available. We would like to thank Matt Taddy, Amos Tanay, Po Yuan Tung and Raman Shah for helpful discussions related to the project and the package.

Eli Kigar Visits Scotland County Elementary
Ryan Bergeson
We were so excited to have one of our former graduates, Eli Kigar, make a visit to the Scotland County Elementary yesterday. Upon graduation, Mr. Kigar enlisted in the US Army and recently completed his basic training. He is currently training to be an Allied Trade Specialist.
While in high school, Eli Kigar was a part of the A+ program serving students in 4th grade so it was only fitting that he would come back and read to his former students who are now 5th graders.

Discussion in 'Acronis True Image Product Line' started by AlanCB, Jul 29, 2008.
I would appreciate some advice concerning the creation of "clean OS restore" Acronis True Image Recovery CDs/DVDs to replace the 3 Toshiba Recovery CDs.
The partitions sizes are periodically adjusted according demand for space using ADDSv9.
The laptop was supplied with 3 Recovery CDs containing the Win XP Pro (2002) and the Toshiba Drivers & Utilities.
Unfortunately, if I carry out a "reinstall" of Win XP Pro plus the Toshiba Drivers & Utilities, using the Toshiba Recovery CDs, then as a first step the whole disk is reformatted and the partitions deleted, with the loss of the files in partitions E: & F:.
I would like to be able to reinstall Win XP Pro plus the Toshiba Drivers & Utilities to partition C:, without deleting the other partitions or affecting their sizes, and it has been suggested that I use Acronis True Image to create my own custom Recovery CD that would allow me to do this.
As regards using Acronis True Image to create a custom recovery disk for the 5105-S702 (after a new install of Win XP Pro plus Toshiba Drivers & Utilities from the Toshiba Recovery CD & upgrading to SP3) - can this be done so that subsequently carrying a recovery using the Acronis Recovery CD would not wipe out or affect the sizes of the partitions created/adjusted subsequent to the creation of the Acronis TI recovery disk ?
6. - import/copy data files (e.g. Outlook Express messages, Address Books, Favorites) stored on external backup drive to C:\ Documents & Settings\UserName\ etc.
The objective would be to create a True Image recovery disk as early as possible in this process, so that any recovery subsequently carried out using the TI recovery disk would not be "contaminated" with the files that might be causing problems that are adversely affecting the performance of the laptop, and which in fact could be the reason for carrying out the recovery.
To accomplish this, I would propose creating, after stage # 3, a "clean OS restore " True Image Recovery disk of the contents of the C: partition, that would enable me to do a clean restore of the OS (Win XP Pro upgraded to SP3 plus Toshiba drivers & utilities) to partition C:, without affecting the size of the C: partition, or deleting/affecting any of the other partitions in any way.
Please advise whether that would be possible.
If not, please advise me what would be possible.
Provided ATI11 works on your hardware, you can backup and restore individual partitions.
Thank you very much for your reply, but I still need some clarification.
Assume that I have created a backup of C: partition after stage #3 above, using ATI11, effectively giving me a recovery disk that I can use to do a "clean" restore of Win XP SP3. Question is, can I use it in the way described in the example below ?
Now assume I want to do a "clean install" of Win XP Pro SP3 using the True Image recovery disk that I created 2 years previously at stage #3 to restore partition C: (which is smaller than the current partition C: ). Would it be possible ? If yes, what would happen to the partition structure ?
Forget about drive letters and rely on volumne names instead. The boot CD won't necessarily assign drive letters in the same sequence as Windows on the PC.
Partition sizing in an option in manual restores.
In general you can restore a partition to any partition that has enough space to accommodate it. However, you shouldn't normally do this with your bootable partition.
I don't know if your example is your actual layout but I always suggest the OS and Apps be contained in the same partition. They are too tightly bound with entries in the registry and files placed in various folders in the OS partition to gain any benefit from splitting them.
Are you saying that I can adjust the restore partition size to match the current partition size, or vice-versa ?
The 1st partition scheme is my current one, but so far I have installed all applications in C:.
I have been uncertain as to whether to install applications in D: Apps, but as indicated in the 2nd partition scheme, I think I will install them in C:, and delete D: using Acronis Disk Director Suite v9.0.
What would happen to the excess space in the current partition C: if I restore the smaller partition C: using the "clean restore" ATI11 recovery disk ?
Why shouldn't I do this with the bootable partition ?
Actually I'm trying to decide whether to purchase ATI11, so I hadn't previously downloaded the User's Guide, but I have done now, and have read from pg 45 - 54.
From what is stated there, it would appear that with manual restores, if the restore partition size (ie. uncompressed backup size) is smaller than the current partition size, then it can be increased to match the current partition size.
Would still like to know why this should not be done with a bootable partition.
You previously stated , quote - "Provided ATI11 works on your hardware, you can backup and restore individual partitions."
Are there any particular hardware requirements for using ATI11, or do I have to actually try using it to determine whether it works with my laptop ?
It's a Toshiba Satellite 5105-S702, Mobile Pentium 4 Proceesor-M, 1.80 Ghz, 512 MB SDRAM, 60GB hard drive, DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive.
My knowledge CD/DVD recording is virtually non-existent, but I guess the problem with 5105-S702 is that if the drive is DVD-ROM only, I would not be able to backup to high capacity DVDs, but only to CDs, making the creation of C: partition restore disks impratical, unless the backup compression is very high.
I also have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70(PSM75), Pentium Mobile 750 (1.86 GHz, 2MB Cache), 60GB HDD, 1.5GB RAM, DVD-RAM drive (includes CD-RW & DVD-RW/+RW).
Would I be able to backup the C: partition of the 5105-S702 to an external drive, and then transfer the external drive to the Pro M70, and burn the backup to a DVD disc on the Pro M70 ?
The only way to really know is to try it, which you can do for free.
You don't want to backup to CDs or DVDs. They are way too slow and cumbersome. Do yourself a favor and get another hardisk. They've never been cheaper. For excample, you can get a 200GB USB/Firewire hard drive that fits in your shirt pocket for $80. There are cheaper hard disks to be had.
I install all my apps on C with the exception of some large games which I do install on a different partition contrary to what I said. The reason I do this with games is that they are large and virutally never change; they can also be easily restored from the CDs in case of disaster which is good because I only regularly image the C drive. Leaving the games out of the C partition saves a lot of space and time when imaging C.
Unused space is usually left as unallocated AFAIK but I don't do this so I don't know if TI gives you an option to specify a partition to return the unrequired space to.
My mention of the bootable partition concerns not restoring something like a data partition to it. The PC wouldn't boot and I imagine you would get something like the NTLDR missing error message.
Actually I have 2 external drives, 60GB & 100GB, which I have been using for backups. Just thought the idea was to also have the occasional backups to DVDs, as insurance against backup drive failure.
I'll take take a look at Laplink's Move it. Thanks for the suggestion.
If the excess space is left as unallocated, then I should be able to re-allocate it to the C: partition, if not with ATI11, then with Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.
- Would the current C: partition be reformated & wiped clean by ATI11, before it restores the smaller "clean restore" backup C: partition to it ?
- Would the unallocated space created by the restore be "clean" - i.e. no file remnants that would "contaminate" the restored C: partition on re-allocation to it ?
I don't see why you couldn't use DD to reallocate the partitions since that is usually one of the selling points for such apps.
AFAIK, TI deletes the existing version of the partition being restored and then copies the sector data from the image file to the disk. In effect, this causes a reformat in the sense the old file structure and data are restored to the disk. Any unallocated space in the partition is left as it was so if you really want to have nothing in the restored partition other than what was in the image you would have to use a "zeroing" program before you restore the image. What TI does is really no different than running a format from Windows - the disk is not zeroed and the format causes a fresh basic file system structure to be written. Even the full/slow format is only doing a sector read-check not a zeroing of the disk. This is why there are apps that can recover your files even after a format - the data is still there. TI doesn't necessarily put a sector back in its original location when doing a restore. So the data originally stored at location ABCD may be restored at sector XYWZ after the restore. I personally wouldn't get upset over unlinked junk on the un-used portion of the partition after a restore.
On your reply to Sheiber, IMO using DVDs as a second level backup is a good idea even though I consider them to be less reliable and slow and I would never store an archive on a R/W DVD since I have had trouble with them much more frequently than just a write-once. It is called diversity of media. Every now an then I copy a backup to DVD using Nero (I always split my archives at 1492MB when creating them so I can copy any archive later to DVD. 3 files fit nicely on a DVD). I always use Nero's "Verify after burning" function. At even rarer intervals, I store a copy at a friends house in case of an outright catastrophe such as theft or fire at my house. I never throw away the old DVDs but just let them build up in an old 100 disk cake-box. If I had to do a restore, I'd copy them to a HD first!
Thanks very much for your detailed replies to my questions, and for the very useful info on your backup/archiving practices on DVDs.
- wouldn't deleting the existing/current version of the C: partition, and copying the sector data from the image file (i.e. the clean OS restore backup), effectively wipe out the existing/current partition structure (& with that the existing/current data files in D: Data/downloads & E: Copies/BkUps) , and recreate the partition structure (with empty D: & E: partitions) that existed when the clean OS restore backup was made ?
- wouldn't zeroing of the C: partition effectively wipe out the current partition structure (which is not what I wan't to do) ?
- would the restore of the active C: partition from the clean OS restore backup, be carried out, or just initiated, by ATI11 from within Windows (i.e. the laptop booted up to Windows) ?
-wouldn't deleting the existing/current version of the C: partition, and copying the sector data from the image file (i.e. the clean OS restore backup), effectively wipe out the existing/current partition structure (& with that the existing/current data files in D: Data/downloads & E: Copies/BkUps) , and recreate the partition structure (with empty D: & E: partitions) that existed when the clean OS restore backup was made ?
If you are restoring C only with TI, it will delete the C partition but leave all other partitions untouched. If you are restoring the whole disk then the disk will reflect only the partitions and their contents that exist in the whole disk backup. Be careful of the Snap Restore (I believe that's the one, I never use it) feature because it will wipe the whole disk and restore the partitions in the archive. If an existing HD partition isn't in the archive it will be gone.
No, programs that do zeroing will confine their work to the locations within the partition. However, you have to pay attention to what the program is designed to do. If you are zeroing a whole disk then the partition structure very likely is going to go away.
When restoring the active partition from within Windows the restore information is collected (which archive, where to restore it to, validate or not, etc) and stored somewhere. A reboot is then performed which causes the Linux recovery enivronment to be loaded. The Linux TI program then looks in the place where the information was stored and starts the restore process. In early versions of TI9 and earlier, after entering the restore info in Windows, the PC rebooted and you had to re-enter the information again! Since the PC reboots one might assume that the only way the restore info can be stored is in a small file on the HD. If there is no active partition involved in the restore, I believe the restore will take place from within Windows.
Snap Restore seems be equivalent to using the Toshiba Recover CDs for the Sat 5105-S702 (with no other official option available), my dissatisfaction with, is the reason I initiated this thread.
- can the contents of compressed backups (i.e individual files within the backup) be viewed in native file format from within ATI11 or Windows, without permanently saving unzipped backup files to the hard drive ?
- are backups automatically compressed, or do you have the choice of creating backups containing the individual files in native file format, so that the backup contents (i.e individual files) can be directly viewed in Windows XP ?
- what is the degree of file compression of the backups ?
You can explore the archives whether compressed or not with Explorer and you can also Mount the image with TI which makes it look like a physical disk. You can open the files or copy them in their native format from the archive to any folder. You can even mount the image as read/write and update a file and save it to the archive. However, the original archive is never modified, the changed file is included in an incremental archive based on the original archive.
I don't know what the compression ratio is and what you get is also highly determined by the file type and contents. The basic rule of thumb is that normal compression for a typical C drive will result in an archive roughly 65% of the used space size. Some of this is due to the swapfile and if present, the hibernation file not being included in the archive. High compression saves a bit more space but takes more processing; I never consider it worth the bother and stick to normal. If you have a lot of jpg, mpg, zip, rar, etc files then the compression does nothing much for you at all for these files.
Thanks for another comprehensive and helpful reply.
If you're backing up already compressed files, then the overhead to do additoinal compression isn't worth the time it takes. So for jpgs, mp3s, you probably want to run with no compression.
As seekforever pointed out, high compression yields a small increase in compression but drastic increases in time -- best used only if you really are cramped for space and not for time. Otoh, no compression yields only a small savings in time but much larger files unless the files being backed up are already a compressed format.

Outcry over R3,2 mln for another Shaka statue
Witness Reporter
KWAZULU-Natal taxpayers are set to cough up another R3,2 million for a second statue of Zulu King Shaka, which is to be erected at the King Shaka International airport.
An earlier statue, erected at the airport in 2010 was later removed, allegedly after a public outcry over the way in which the Zulu king was depicted. It also cost R3,2 million, bringing the total spent on statues to R6,4 million.
An August 2012 parliamentary reply from KZN Premier, Dr Zweli Mkhize, to questions posed by the DA, revealed the cost of the new statue, which is currently being completed. The parliamentary questions were submitted after attempts by the DA to establish these costs were thwarted during portfolio committee meetings.
DA leader in the KZN legislature, Sizwe Mchunu, said it was difficult to comprehend how KZN's government can condone spending R6,4 million on statues, given the massive challenges facing the province, particularly in education, housing and the health sector.
Mchunu said the money could have built 21 classrooms or 71 RDP houses, including services and municipal input. "It could have funded a state-of-the-art clinic serving a population of at least 20 000 people — with R2 million to spare," he said in a statement. "While it was important to honour our history and commemorate leaders who form an integral part of our heritage, it should not be at the expense of our future."
He said provincial government's priorities should lie in providing classrooms for children, housing and quality health.

Time to take off the tinfoil hat.
Location Services have been available since the first iPhone. While it wasn't the most advanced at that time, things have progressed significantly since then. iOS 7 brings the most integrated and expansive set of features to mobile devices. For new users who are experiencing Apple for the first time, it can be overwhelming. If you've never been accustomed to location services before, it can also be intimidating. Who's watching? What are they able to see? Can anyone track where you go? These are concerns I hear from new iPhone owners, so I've made this guide to help put those matters to rest.
Configuring location services can be done within the Settings app. By selecting the Privacy section a few rows down, you're presented with many different options. iOS 7 enhanced this category by adding customization for apps that use specific information on the device, including Contacts, Photos, Motion, and even the Microphone. You can restrict or allow individual apps in this menu. Each app will request permission for the data it requires when it's first launched.
By selecting the location services menu, it will guide you to the list of apps that are using GPS location for any reason. One major concern that I've heard is the fear of high battery usage. I can confirm that using location services will not cause a noticeable drain on your battery. It's designed to be an integral and necessary part of the device. Disabling it completely will only restrict it's core functionality. All of the information collected on the device is for your own personal use. You have the ability to share your location with friends and family but it must be enabled manually.
There are a few different types of location alerts. An arrow will appear in the status bar beside the battery indicator while an app is currently using the service. When viewing the list, apps that have a solid purple arrow are currently using your location. If there is a grey arrow, the app has used your location within the last 24 hours.
Make your iPhone work for you.
The outlined arrow represents a geofence. These are unique conditions set by apps that will trigger an event when entering or leaving a certain area. An example of this would be with my Philips Hue lights. I've set a geofence that will turn the lights on when I enter my house. Reminders can also be set to alert the user when they reach a destination. When a geofence is active, you'll notice the outlined arrow in your status bar. Having these enabled will not cause stress on the battery. It only acts as a trigger for the action it's set to accomplish.
Some apps can cause trouble. There are situations where developers are inattentive and add in location services without reason. This leads to consistent tracking or displaying misleading information. The best recommendation I can give is to browse through the list of apps that have requested use, then disable ones that don't serve a purpose for you. Stock apps are always suggested to leave such as Safari, Maps, Camera, Weather, and Siri. Apple has precisely designed them to be efficient and beneficial. Only consider apps that have been downloaded from the App Store. Most games and informational apps such as a dictionary or word processor have no use for it. No private information is shared through the location, and in most cases it only retrieves the city you are in. A few examples of this would be Best Buy, Groupon, or Yelp.
A unique feature to iPhone specifically is Frequent Locations. It is enabled by default, and will show you locations that have been visited for extended periods of time. I've left it on since acquiring my iPhone 5s in September, and noticed that it only saves 2 months of collected information. After hearing opinions from different people on the subject, I seem to be one of the few who finds it interesting and has it active. It will display cities in the first menu, then parts of each city in the next section, followed by a list of dates and times for each specific location. I was impressed at how detailed it is.
This information is paired with the predictive time feature found in the Notification Center. If you're away from home, it will display an estimate of how long it will take to return. This also works in conjunction with turn-by-turn directions in the Maps app. If traffic is building up in a certain area, a new route will be created. This is a perfect example of how integrated location services are into the device.
Location awareness is growing each day.
With the introduction of wearables, location services are only going to get bigger. Developing an understanding of how it works now will put you on the right path for making the most of it in the future. Simply disabling it completely because of intimidation is not the best solution. Take the time to understand how these great features work, and you'll feel better about owning your iOS device.

"Astrophotography" presented by Marq Marquette
The City of Bristol Tennessee Department of Parks and Recreation and the Friends of Steele Creek Nature Center and Park welcome a local photographer with decades of stories and insight to share in a talk titled "A Photojournalist's View of Nature, the Sun, Moon, and Stars" on Friday Oct. 7 at the Steele Creek Park Lodge at 7:30 pm.
Marq Marquette, an award winning astrophotographer, has seen the gamut of the camera world from film to digital in his 50 years as a published photojournalist. From the newsroom of the Associated Press to manager of a Ritz Camera store, his experience in photography runs from darkroom deadlines to lighting equipment. He worked in a studio in New York City, and owned a photo business in Bristol, MarQ Camera Art Studio, which he continues online. His photography has been published in magazines, encyclopedias and books, and he has been featured in many art gallery shows. Marquette is also a frequent contributor with atmospheric, planetary and lunar photos at the website spaceweather.com. He will share how to take photos of sundogs, Moon halos, meteors and eclipses of the Moon and Sun.
Since 1996, Marquette has been a contributor to The Loafer weekly magazine, and his popular "Stargazer" astronomy column is in its 20th year. His light-hearted, yet informative talk will take you behind the scenes and into the thinking of how to capture photos like the pros, including starry landscapes.
Marquette, 62, has spent more than 50 years passionate about two things: photography and astronomy. As a teenager he built his own telescope and then rigged it to photograph the Moon with a camera his father brought back from the Korean War. With that camera at a 1968 Detroit Tigers baseball game, he captured an iconic image of a boy looking over the shoulder of a hot dog vendor and man reaching for his wallet. The fourteen-year-old showed the home darkroom print to his paper route boss, who showed it to the newspaper editor, and a career in photojournalism was launched.
Marquette's early career was with newspapers as a reporter with a camera before the Associated Press in Columbus, Ohio snatched him away as a photographer. He has also worked as a photojournalist for Newsweek, Sport Illustrated and the Kettering Foundation.
Marquette has been in the Tri-Cities for more than 30 years, and has contributed his photography skills to the early rebirth of Downtown Bristol at the Paramount Theatre, Theatre Bristol, Believe in Bristol, Rhythm & Roots Reunion, Viking Hall and more.
Marquette is a popular speaker at amateur astronomy clubs and regional conferences, offering not just serious talks on astrophotography and observing but also a humorous astronomical parody called "Starry Nite Live!" He is the co-founder, in 2007, of the Twin City Photo Club, a monthly fellowship of photographers. He has also taught for 15 years an adult class on photography for Virginia Parks & Recreation Department.
Marq's program kicks off Steele Creek Park's 19th Annual Wildlife Weekend event. Free programs and activities will continue all day Saturday 08 October beginning at 8:30 am.

Saint Lucia by Sassoferrato
Origin: Latin
Meaning: "Light"
Pronunciation: loo-CHEE-uh, loo-SEE-uh, LOO-sha
Other forms: Lucy, Luzia
Lucia is one of my absolute favorites, but alas I have not a speck of Italian or Spanish blood (though I do have German, so it could work out if I wanted).
Lucia is originally the feminine form of Lucius, a Roman praenomen (given name) which came from the Latin lux - "light". It is surprisingly ranked #230 in the US, and is, deservedly, reigning as the top name in Spain right now. As you can see it has all sorts of different pronunciations floating around, but to me, the most beautiful is the Italian "loo-CHEE-uh".
Saint Lucia was a martyr from 4th-century Syracuse - though she is more commonly known as Saint Lucy - and is the patron Saint of the blind, writers, martyrs, epidemics, and Syracuse, among many others. Her mother's name was Eutychia, which many take as proof she came from a Greek family, and she suffered from a bleeding disorder. Lucia had vowed her virginity to God, and wished to leave her dowry for the poor, but her mother arranged for her to marry a young and wealthy pagan. Eutychia traveled to Saint Agatha's shrine in Catania, hoping for a cure. While she was there Agatha appeared to Lucia in a dream, saying that because of her faith her mother would be cured, and that she would be the glory of Syracuse. When her mother was cured she was able to persuade her to let her give much of her riches to the poor.
However, this did not make her betrothed happy, and he reported her to the Governor of Syracuse, Paschasius, who ordered her to burn a sacrifice in his image, but of course Lucia refused. He then ordered she be defiled in a brothel, but the guards could not move her, not even with the help of oxen. Then, they tried to burn her, but the wood would not catch fire. Finally, they were able to kill her with a sword.
The most well known part of her story is that she had her eyes removed, but this does not appear until later traditions. Some say they were removed because she foretold the punishment of Paschasius, and the end of the Diocletianic Persecution, that Diocletian would reign no more and that Maximian would die. Others say she removed them herself because a suitor liked them so. Legend states that when her body was prepared to be put into the mausoleum, her eyes had been miraculously restored.
The island Saint Lucia in Caribbean was named after her by the first settlers there, the French. Other namesakes include Lucia Rijker, a Dutch professional boxer, kick-boxer, and actress, Lucia dos Santos, a seer who supposedly spoke to the Virgin Mary, Lucia Galeazzi Galvani, an Italian scientist, and operatic soprano Lucia Popp.

This is such a beautiful name, I like pretty much all names in the Lucia family. My favourite pronunciation of it is the Scandinavian one - loo-SEE-uh - though loo-CHEE-uh is great too.
Bree February 24, 2020 at 3:35 PM
Thank you for your comment! I agree, both pronunciations are beautiful.


(From Gooseberry Patch) This week's Menu of the Week features five of our favorite recipes from Mom's Very Best Recipes. SO, in keeping with the MOM theme, today's Recipe Round-Up will be all about those recipes that never fail to make you feel better when you or your loved ones are feeling under the weather!
What are YOUR favorite FEEL-BETTER recipes?
Here's one of our favorites from Mom's Very Best Recipes...enjoy!
This feel-better recipe was shared by Melody Taynor of Everett, Washington. She writes, "Guaranteed to chase away the chills! For extra goodness, use homemade chicken broth...you'll need about 10 cups."
Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Sauté onion and celery in butter until just tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in broth; add remaining ingredients except noodles. Bring to a boil; stir in noodles. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until noodles are tender. Makes 6 servings.
We'd love to have you link up below, but even if you don't have a blog to link, tell us about your recipe in the comments or, if you have a moment, share it with us on our website!

Malaysia Airlines subsidiary Firefly will resume flights to Singapore soon, following an agreement between Malaysia and Singapore. The renewed service will link Kuala Lumpur's closest airport at Subang (SZB) to Singapore's Seletar airport (XSP).
…. With this agreement, the Transport Ministers look forward to FlyFireFly Sdn Bhd's (Firefly) commencement of flights to Seletar Airport effective April this year.
The move to Seletar airport is a result of the decision to move all turboprop flights from Singapore 's Changi Airport from 1st December 2018. Firefly was directly affected as its fleet is exclusively made up of the ATR-72 turboprop aircraft.
The planned move did not take place on 1st December due to Malaysia's objection to the new landing procedures for Seletar. The procedures reportedly imposed height restrictions which would affect development in Pasir Gudang. Firefly announced on 23rd November that it would suspend all flights to Singapore from 1st December, as the Changi Airport slots were no longer available.
Following government to government discussions, the issues have been resolved, resulting in the resumption of flights, albeit to a new airport. Seletar Airport is located in the north or the island, close to the border with Malaysia's Johor state. As Seletar is located well away from Changi airport, the new services will appeal to commuter traffic. Given this scenario, Firefly will focus on business travellers and end-point travellers.
Although the fights are still not showing as available on the Firefly website, it has been indicated that the service will start at the end of April 2019.

Q: Row counter per Column Say I have a table like so
| id | user_id | event_id | created_at |
|----|---------|----------|------------|
| 1  | 5       | 10       | 2015-01-01 |
| 2  | 6       | 7        | 2015-01-02 |
| 3  | 3       | 8        | 2015-01-01 |
| 4  | 5       | 9        | 2015-01-04 |
| 5  | 5       | 10       | 2015-01-02 |
| 6  | 6       | 1        | 2015-01-01 |

I want to be able to generate a counter of events per user. So my result would be:
| counter | user_id | event_id | created_at |
|---------|---------|----------|------------|
| 1       | 5       | 10       | 2015-01-01 |
| 1       | 6       | 7        | 2015-01-02 |
| 1       | 3       | 8        | 2015-01-01 |
| 2       | 5       | 9        | 2015-01-04 |
| 3       | 5       | 10       | 2015-01-02 |
| 2       | 6       | 1        | 2015-01-01 |

A: One idea is to self join the table and group by to replicate row_number() over.. function available in other RDBMS.
Check this Rextester Demo and see second query, to understand how inner join works in this case.
    select  t1.user_id,
        t1.event_id,
        t1.created_at,
        count(*) as counter
from your_table t1
inner join your_table t2
on t1.user_id=t2.user_id
    and t1.id>=t2.id
group by t1.user_id,
         t1.event_id,
         t1.created_at
order by t1.user_id,t1.event_id;

Output:
 +---------+----------+------------+---------+
| user_id | event_id | created_at | counter |
+---------+----------+------------+---------+
|       3 |        8 | 01-01-2015 |       1 |
|       5 |       10 | 01-01-2015 |       1 |
|       5 |       10 | 02-01-2015 |       3 |
|       5 |        9 | 04-01-2015 |       2 |
|       6 |        1 | 01-01-2015 |       2 |
|       6 |        7 | 02-01-2015 |       1 |
+---------+----------+------------+---------+

A: Try the following:
select counter,
       xx.user_id,
       xx.event_id,
       xx.created_at
  from xx
  join (select a.id,
               a.user_id,
               count(*) as counter
          from xx as a
          join xx as b
            on a.user_id=b.user_id
           and b.id<=a.id
         group by 1,2) as counts
         on xx.id=counts.id

Use a join to generate rows for each id with all the other lower ids for that user below it and count them.

A: Try This one:
Sub query will help to get this rsult.
select  (select count(*) from user_event iue where iue.user_id  == oue.user_id) as counter,
    oue.user_id,
    oue.event_id,
    oue.created_at
from user_event oue

A: You could try to use a variable as a table, cross join it with the source table and reset whenever user id changes.
SELECT @counter := CASE
                     WHEN @user = user_id THEN @counter + 1
                     ELSE 1
                   END  AS counter,
       @user := user_id AS user_id,
       event_id,
       created_at
FROM   your_table m,
       (SELECT @counter := 0,
               @user := '') AS t
ORDER  BY user_id;

Jason Momoa And Wife's Ex Lenny Kravitz Got Matching Bone Skull Rings
Who says you can't be friends with your wife's ex?
Some husbands prefer to keep a distance from their partner's ex, but not Jason Momoa. The Aquaman star recently got matching bone skull rings for himself and his wife's former husband Lenny Kravitz. In fact, the two have been very supportive of each other for some time.
Jason Momoa shared an awesome photo on Instagram where he and Kravitz are proudly showing off their new rings. According to Momoa, the rings were crafted by LeroysWoodenTattoos, an artist based in North Carolina. Momoa presented Kravitz with the bone skull ring after the musician supported the Frontier star during his recent Saturday Night Live gig.
Momoa gave the rock star the ring as a thank you gift for his support.
Source: prideofgypsies/Instagram
The rings are custom-made by a North Carolina-based artist.
Momoa is married to former Cosby Show actress Lisa Bonet, who was previously married to Kravitz. However, things aren't complicated between the celebrities. All three of them are proving that their ohana is built on friendship and love.
Bonet and Kravitz were married from 1987 until 1993. They have a daughter, the actress Zoë Kravitz.
Momoa and Bonet have been together since 2005 but they officially tied the knot in 2017. They have two children, 11-year-old Lola, and 9-year-old Nakoa-Wolf.
The Momoa family.
Momoa as Arthur Curry in the upcoming Warner Bros. film 'Aquaman'.
It's easy to understand why Jason Momoa has an amazing extended ohana. The former Game of Thrones star is known for his fun-loving nature and sense of humor. Needless to say, this is one actor who could easily get along with anyone.
Momoa certainly gets all the support from his family as his next film is getting ready for release. There is little doubt that Aquaman will be a major hit in the box office.
Aquaman is directed by James Wan and features Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, Willem Defoe, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Dolph Lundgren, and Temuera Morrison. The film will hit US theaters on December 21.

Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" Is Now The Most Streamed Song from the 20th Century
Another win for Queen!
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is definitely one of those classic rock songs that just won't go away. What makes it special from the rest, however, is the fact that it's still breaking records to this present day.
Written by the late Freddie Mercury and originally released back in 1975, the track from Queen's album 'A Night At The Opera' has recently been named as the most streamed song from the 20th century with 1.6 billion streams. The number, according to a CNET report, is "based on streams of the song itself across Spotify, Apple Music and other services, as well as the iconic video on YouTube."

UKIP's Euro-voters are now up for grabs
Saturday, 24 May, 2014 in Elections
Tomorrow night's European Parliament election results will bring a frenzy of analysis and speculation. Why did so many people vote UKIP? Who did they support before? What do they care about? And most of all, what will they do when it comes to the next election?
As we pollsters say: you can guess, or you can find out. In the 12 hours after the polls closed on Thursday night I surveyed over 4,000 people who took part in the Euro election. My poll doesn't try to predict the result – that would be illegal before voting has finished in all European countries – but it helps explain why voters did what they did, and what they might do next.
Eight in ten of those who voted UKIP said the party had the best policies on Europe – but six in ten also said they were sending a message that they were unhappy with the party they usually support, or making a general protest. But at the next election, their votes are up for grabs – especially for the Tories.
Two thirds of Thursday's UKIP voters think David Cameron is the best available PM, compared to a quarter for Ed Miliband. And nearly seven in ten trust Cameron and Osborne more than Miliband and Balls when it comes to running the economy. (Indeed one in ten Labour voters trust the Tory duo more than their own two Eds). Just over half of UKIP Euro voters supported the Tories at the 2010 election. One in seven voted Labour, and a fifth were Lib Dems. As for next May, only half of them expect to stay with UKIP.
One fifth already say they will go back to the Tories, one in ten will vote Labour, and 14% say they don't know what they will do. When it comes to the general election, the economy will dominate. And while immigration is also high on the list, it is neck-and-neck with the NHS – a useful reminder to all parties not to let last week's issues dominate the debate for the next year.

City's budgetary performance cited as reasons for credit-rating upgrade
HUNTINGTON – City officials learned Monday, March 10, that the long-term credit rating for two series of revenue bonds have been raised to an "A" from a "BBB+" because of a stable financial outlook.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised the rating two notches on the Huntington Municipal Development Authority's series 2010A and series 2010B bonds. The improved rating strengthens the City of Huntington's borrowing power moving forward and provides reassurances to the city's bond holders that their investments are safe, Mayor Steve Williams said.
"This is a validation of the fiscal policies that the administration and City Council have implemented in recent years," Williams said. "Most importantly, it's a validation of this City Council's relationship with this administration. As we complete our deliberations of the 2014-2015 fiscal budget, we look forward to strengthening the fiscal condition of the city even further."
The series 2010A bonds totaled $3.65 million and are a refinancing package for a previous bond issue related to the Jean Dean Public Safety Building and the Big Sandy Superstore Arena. The series 2010B economic recovery bonds totaled $5.5 million and are for facility improvements at the arena.

Your business may not have the funds to produce million-dollar Super Bowl ads, but you can make your brand visible to the world using YouTube. EBizMBA.com, an online eBusiness knowledge base, placed YouTube at No. 1 on its list of the 15 most popular websites in March 2012, with an estimated 450 million unique visitors to the site. Businesses of all kinds post entertaining and informative YouTube videos for free, helping their companies grow and make money.
While a blender isn't a particularly spellbinding product on most circumstances, the Blendtec company used YouTube to boost sales by posting an entertaining series of "Will it Blend" videos. BusinessandYouTube.com reports that by October 2010, more than 120 million viewers had seen the company's 100 videos and Blendtec's sales had increased more than 700 percent. BusinessandYouTube.com chronicles other success stories of businesses ranging from small bands to the Toyota Motor Corp. using videos posted to YouTube as part of their marketing campaigns.
Regular Accounts
As of March 2012, YouTube only offers one type of account for all users, and requires a Google account for sign up. A regular account allows you to upload videos to your YouTube channel, to which people who enjoy your videos can subscribe. You don't make money when people view those videos, but you will gain exposure as the content spreads the word about your business.
In addition to using a regular YouTube account to publicize your business, you can become a Partner to enable ads on your videos and share the advertising revenue with Google. The partnership rules are stricter than what's required for a regular YouTube account, however. You must create original videos that you have express permission to use and monetize, including audio-visual content, that are suitable for streaming and uploaded regularly. One reason you can't join the YouTube Partner Program immediately is that thousands of viewers must watch your videos before you qualify for membership. Videos that you upload also must meet YouTube's community guidelines and adhere to the company's Terms of Service agreement.
Using a non-personal Google account when signing up for a YouTube account will ensure that others in the business can access the company's channel in the event of an emergency or staff turnover. If you don't know anything about video production, you'll find valuable tips by studying YouTube's Help pages. You can even use its free video-editing program to edit and tweak videos before uploading them. Free tools such as Google Analytics help you track video views and perform other tasks, such as determining how much time viewers spend on your channel and how often they return.

Hemp Strain Receives U.S. Patent
CWB Holdings
Legal Hemp
Changing Landscape
The Category
Hemp strain receives U.S. patent! Yay! Charlotte's Web is well known on the national platform as a high CBD strain and it is known to have helped and still helping many children in the United States and around the world. In fact, this is one of the strains that have become quite famous around the world. The creators of this strain have received their U.S. patent most recently as cultivators of hemp strain.
This seems to be their claim to fame. The documents of this U.S. patent is said to describe the Charlotte's Web strain (CW2A) as coming from a resilient plant because of its resistant to the cold and its capability of producing as much as 24 percent of CBD level and just 0.27 percent of THC level.
The company in question operates from the state of Colorado and known as CWB Holdings. It is owned by the Stanley brothers. They should be proud of this new announcement since they are the first ever to have received U.S. patent for a hemp strain. This is the information shown in the patent filings. Joel Stanley is the CEO of CWB Holdings, which is based in the city of Denver, Colorado. The company went public in 2018 and since then, they have been recognized as a company that is famous for its hemp strain and its capabilities of producing hemp products as well.
Since the hemp strain has been patented, it means that it is now legal for the company to grow it, but it has to be under the terms set out by the Farm Bill of 2018. This hemp strain appears to be the perfect source for CBD products derived from hemp. In fact, this is what has been presented to the consumer by so many merchants in the industry that operate across the country.
In fact, CWB Holdings has a famous line of products related to CBD and all are available in every state within the United States. The company's hemp strain patent seems to be the thing that alerts the country and the industry that this is a landmark move; signaling the company's intention. It means that the company can now command a share of the CBD market in the country.
Even though, there are many investors, consumers and entrepreneurs buying and selling hemp strain and CBD products, the CBD industry was lacking a consistent brand. Now that CWB Holdings has made their mark, things are going to change for so many people.
The spoils from CWB Holdings by entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs could be quite large. According to reports, consumers have already spent billions on CBD products in 2018 before this hemp strain patent and things are only set to get better. Estimates do vary, but it is said that the hemp and CBD market will grow to up to sixteen billion dollars by 2025.
The hemp strain patent that CWB Holdings received is categorized as a 'plant patent.' It was not put in the utility patent category because that would be too broad for a description. When it is put in the plant patent category, it places legal protection on the company's patent against competitors that may be growing similar hemp strains. Even though, it was placed in such a narrow category, it is still a groundbreaking move for it to be the only and first plant patent for hemp strain in the United States.
CWB Holdings is now poised to climb the top of the ladder in the CBD industry because of recognition of their hemp strain brand and patent. This is certainly a huge accomplishment for the Stanley brothers and the company. Hemp Strain Receives U.S. Patent! Huge news! Yay!


In the last year, there's been too many instances where the Anello-style backpack has waved at me, through friends, shop windows, passing tourists, and maternity knockoffs (this is when you know it's serious). It's zipper opening allows a surprisingly-large interior volume and like all well-loved backpacks it comes in so many colours. When you've got a good thing going, try it with more colour!
I'm also very into the LV Palm Springs backpack for its mini size and convertible straps, alternating from backpack to crossbody to top handle toting. I am not, however, into the price tag at the moment. This brings us to today's bag concoction: Anello-style mini backpack with convertible straps in a punchy colour, even better if it can look slightly luxe.

Jonesian Democrats
Leavability
🔟 9⃣ 9⃣ 8⃣ 🔟 🔟 🔟 🔟 9⃣ 8⃣ 9⃣ 🔟
You've probably heard of Jim Jones, the Jonestown cult, and references to drinking the Kool-aid. And you might have heard the basics that 900 people died in Jonestown, Guyana on November 18, 1978, because a religious cult leader convinced them drink the cyanide laced Kool-aid, and commit mass suicide. But if you don't know that Jim Jones was the first trans-racial Marxist, given the MLK award, was called the most influential Democrat on the West Coast, and was supported by Jerry Brown, Willie Brown, George Moscone, Milk, John Burton, Diane Feinstein, and was appointed to head Housing and Human Services in San Francisco, then you've been a victim of propaganda, and don't really know what happened. He started a far-left Cult by promising everything the left ever wanted in one place, and when it turned out like leftist utopias always do, he did what many leftists resort to: killing their own rather than admitting their mistakes. Following in those footsteps, the media/left does their best to suppress that part of the story, or waive it off as "not real socialism" (aka the appeal to purity or No true Scotsman fallacy).
1978.11.18 Jonestown
Jim Jones was a Democrat cult leader, highly influential and respect in Democrat circles, especially in California. A social justice warrior (racial integrationist) creating a leftist socialist utopia, and won every leftist award, was revered/honored and woo'ed by VP Walter Mondale, George Moscone, First Lady Rosalynn Carter, Willie Brown, Jerry Brown, Harvey Milk, Diane Feinstein, and so on. When his criminal deeds started coming out, he fled to a compound in Jonestown, Guyana. And in failing health, and with the authorities closing in, he convinced/forced his followers to drink cyanide laced kool-aid (Flavo-Aid), which is where comments come about "don't drink the Kool aid". Technically, this was outside of the USA, but they were all American democrat ex-pat compound.
Dead/Injured: 918 (304 children). more...
Signs of a Cult
While you can't judge all individuals by the group behavior, you can judge the group by the group averages. If there are traits in common to the group, that's hinting that it is a group dynamic. They might be filtering, intentionally or unintentionally. But either way, if you ride with outlaw bikers, don't be shocked if you end up in a bar fight.
(1) Tribalism: If there's differences in rules or treatment for insiders versus outsiders, that's a hint away from healthy group psyche.
(2) Hypocrisy: If the movement refuses to be introspective and admit it's own flaws or it's leaders don't live by their own rules, another hint.
(3) Ignorance: If the majority of the followers are low-information, prefer to argue feelings over facts, or fall back to talking points or fallacies like appeal to celebrity, authority, popularity? That's a hint.
(4) Intolerance: How do they respond to divergence of thought, identity or behavior, is one of the stronger indicators of whether it's a cult. Cults demand conformity.
(5) Transparency: How open is an organization, their finances or their leadership? Public versus private rituals or beliefs? A secret society and lack of transparency is cultish.
(6) Paranoia: Being paranoid and into conspiracies (especially doomsday ones), especially without some valid reasons, is a strong sign. So Jews or Mormons being a little paranoid has some valid history and justification, thus deserve a bit more leeway. Democrats in Academia or the Media? That deserves finger-ear orbits: the American Sign Language gesture for cult.
(7) Ability to leave: If adherents can leave, and not be ostracized or attacked? That's a good sign for a group. If they will be ostracized, maligned or attacked? It is not.
(8) Abuse: Demands for conformity, litmus tests for being devout enough, punishments for non-compliance with micro-managing norms? Cult, cult, cult.
(9) Insecurity: If adherents constantly try (and fail) to measure up to their exalted leader or absurd standards? Guilt, doubts, unworthiness are not signs of a healthy organization/individual psyche.
(10) Eccentricities A little is fine, a lot is not. Cults start differentiating themselves with alternate language/terminology, dress, mannerisms, or history. Those divergences from norms (and reality), aren't good signals.
(11) Prophets: If the leader is revered and infallible, and becoming more than a flawed human, then that's another strong hint of losing touch with reality.
(12) Extremism: a lot is about degrees and balances, which is what makes the lines a bit fuzzy. You can disagree, but how much? I once had a coworker shriek "No" in pain, like I'd physically struck her, because I'd mentioned some of the mis-assumptions people make on organic farming. Not a healthy reaction. But someone just politely saying, "I disagree and here's why" is completely reasonable. It's the old, "I'll know it when I see it".
This article is about various cults, what are they, what do they do, and what does it mean? Well the word comes from cultus, latin for worship. The definition is usually pejoratively used to refer to a group or sect bound together by veneration (worship) of the same person, object, beliefs, or goal. It's also used for anything that veers from popular or correct norms -- so usually they have a false idol, believe in a false prophet/leader, or have quirky beliefs and practices -- and will stick to beliefs despite any evidence that contradicts them. So there are things you can look for that differentiate a sect or clique, from something that's gone full cult. more...

ASU to relocate Thunderbird School from Glendale to downtown Phoenix campus
ASU to relocate Thunderbird School of Global Management from Glendale to Phoenix
ASU to relocate Thunderbird School from Glendale to downtown Phoenix campus ASU to relocate Thunderbird School of Global Management from Glendale to Phoenix Check out this story on azcentral.com: http://azc.cc/2jAv3WU

Arizona State University plans to move the Thunderbird School of Global Management, a fixture of Glendale for 71 years, to the university's downtown Phoenix campus.
The school's new building will be constructed just north of Polk Street between First and Second streets and is expected to open by January 2021. The site is now a vacant area next to the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law.
ASU took control of Thunderbird about three years ago after the school struggled financially for decades as a private, nonprofit university that specialized in international business programs.
ASU President Michael Crow called the decision to relocate the school a "new iteration" in Thunderbird's evolution.
"Basically, what we're going to end up with is a very professional school-oriented campus here in downtown," he said.
ASU's downtown Phoenix campus includes the schools of journalism, law, nursing, health solutions, social work and public affairs.
'Exciting new chapter'
Allen Morrison, the school's CEO and director general, called the move an exciting new chapter in its transformation.
"This is fundamental to the future success of Thunderbird," he said at an afternoon press conference attended by Crow and Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton.
About 400 graduate students enrolled at the Glendale campus near 59th Avenue and Greenway Road will move downtown along with the executive education program for working professionals.
Another 150 undergraduate students take classes at the nearby ASU West campus, and that program will remain there. Officials plan to eventually grow Thunderbird's undergraduate enrollment into the "low thousands of students," Crow said.
Officials envision an "elite graduate school" of 400 students or less from around the world at the downtown location. The school will also offer a couple of specialized master's degrees and online programs aimed at global leaders, Crow said.
Being located in central Phoenix and near other university programs is critical to the school's growth, officials said. Thunderbird has essentially operated in isolation, Crow said.
Thunderbird opened in 1946 as the American Institute for Foreign Trade and was the first higher-education institution to focus exclusively on international management, according to a history compiled by the school.
By 2013, however, the school was struggling financially and was about $20 million in debt.
Laureate Education, a for-profit company headquartered in Baltimore, moved to acquire the school and was the target of scathing criticism from some Thunderbird supporters. They were concerned that the deal with a for-profit company, and one with a low credit rating, would flood Thunderbird with less-qualified applicants.
The school's accrediting body, the Higher Learning Commission, rejected the proposed venture in March 2014, forcing school officials to go in another direction.

"While Glendale has been the proud home of the Thunderbird School for over 70 years, now that ASU has made their decision, our immediate priority is ensuring the careful planning of the redevelopment of the 140-acre site that Thunderbird currently occupies," Glendale said in a statement provided by Brent Stoddard, the city's director of public affairs. (Photo: Thunderbird School of Global Management)
How ASU acquired Thunderbird
After that deal fell apart, Thunderbird and ASU officials announced in July 2014 they had agreed on a letter of intent, outlining the general terms of the school being absorbed into ASU. A deal was finalized in late 2014.
Before ASU acquired the school, challenges for Thunderbird included inadequate fundraising from alumni, heightened competition from many other schools and lofty academic salaries.
Despite its challenges, the school has been able to maintain high rankings. U.S. News & World Report ranked Thunderbird No. 4 for "Best International MBA Programs."
Stanton, the Phoenix mayor, said the city has made higher education its top priority, particularly in the downtown heart of the city.
"The reason is pretty simple," he said. "It makes the Phoenix economy stronger. It creates educational opportunity for those who live here. It attracts new talent to our community."
What happens to the Glendale site?
ASU and Glendale officials will discuss a new plan for the school's current 140-acre site.
Crow said the bulk of the property will eventually include a mix of residential and commercial properties — and will no longer be owned by the university.
ASU officials said they plan to keep one parcel to build a charter school as part of the university's network of ASU Preparatory Academies.
Glendale officials said ASU told city officials on Tuesday morning — hours before they made the announcement — that the university would move Thunderbird's graduate programs and executive education programs to another location.
"While Glendale has been the proud home of the Thunderbird School for over 70 years, now that ASU has made their decision, our immediate priority is ensuring the careful planning of the redevelopment of the 140-acre site that Thunderbird currently occupies," Glendale said in a statement provided by Brent Stoddard, the city's director of public affairs.
Glendale officials added they would work with ASU to provide "significant input and guidance" so that the master plan provides maximum economic development, jobs and opportunities for the community.

God said to Jacob, 'Move on, go to Bethel and settle there. Make an altar there for the God who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.'
Jacob said to his family and to all who were with him, 'Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you; cleanse yourselves, and change your clothes.
We must move on and go to Bethel. There I shall make an altar for the God who heard me when I was in distress, and gave me his help on the journey I made.'
They gave Jacob all the foreign gods in their possession, and the earrings that they were wearing. Jacob buried them under the oak tree near Shechem.
They broke camp; a divine terror struck the towns round about, and no one pursued the sons of Jacob.
When Jacob arrived at Luz in Canaan -- that is, Bethel-and all the people with him,
he built an altar there and named the place El-Bethel, since it was there that God had appeared to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
Deborah, who had been Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried below Bethel, under the oak tree; so they named it the Oak of Tears.
God again appeared to Jacob on his return from Paddan-Aram, and blessed him.
God said to him, 'Your name is Jacob, but from now on you will be called not Jacob but Israel.' Thus he came by the name Israel.
God said to him, 'I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed an assembly of nations, will descend from you, and kings will issue from your loins.
The country which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I now give to you; and this country I shall give to your descendants after you.'
Then God went up from him.
Jacob raised a monument at the spot where he had spoken to him, a standing-stone, on which he made a libation and poured oil.
Jacob named the place Bethel where God had spoken to him.
They left Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labour, and her pains were severe.
When her labour was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, 'Do not worry, this is going to be another boy.'
At the moment when she breathed her last, for she was dying, she named him Ben-Oni. His father, however, named him Benjamin.
So Rachel died and was buried on the road to Ephrath, now Bethlehem.
Jacob raised a monument on her grave, that same monument of Rachel's Tomb which is there today.
Israel left and pitched his tent beyond Migdal-Eder.
While Israel was living in that district, Reuben went and slept with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel found out. The sons of Jacob were now twelve.
The sons of Leah: Jacob's eldest son Reuben, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's slave-girl: Dan and Naphtali.
The sons of Zilpah, Leah's slave-girl: Gad and Asher. These were the sons born to Jacob in Paddan-Aram.
Jacob came home to his father Isaac at Mamre, at Kiriath-Arba -- now Hebron -- where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
Isaac was one hundred and eighty years old
when he breathed his last. He died and was gathered to his people, an old man who had enjoyed his full span of life. His sons Esau and Jacob buried him.


Response to Intervention (RtI) is based on the premise that all students can learn and achieve academic success when provided high quality, differentiated instruction built around a standards-based curriculum. A comprehensive system of tiered research/evidence-based interventions is critical for reaching all students' academic and behavioral needs. It is imperative that collaboration among administrators, educators and families be the foundation to responsive education. Thus, RtI is a process for achieving greater levels of academic and behavioral success for all students through high quality instruction, balanced assessment and collaboration.
The School District of Manawa's RtI process is based on the Wisconsin RtI Model. This process includes universal screening, building consultation team (BCT) meetings, three tiers of instruction, and progress monitoring.
