Improved security of the "Invite User" feature. We fixed a bug that allowed password change for the invited user without providing a current password.
Improved security of the "Try It" feature. We now enforce a 2-MB limit on the size of files uploaded on the Try It console in the developer portal. We mitigated a regression, so now secrets are again hidden by default and the "reveal" button works as before.
Bug fixes in the developer portal. We fixed an issue that caused some of the active subscriptions to not show up in the portal. Also, a name change in the user profile is now immediately reflected in the portal.
More robust OpenAPI import and export. We now correctly roundtrip parameters of type "file." We optimized schema handling, so operations of creating or modifying schemas perform much better, especially when they're large.
MSI support in China and US Gov regions. Customers in those regions can now use TLS certificates stored in Azure Key Vault.
Analytics reports in the Azure portal. The same reports that were available in the publisher portal are now also available in preview in the Azure portal. We plan to remove the reports from the publisher portal after the feature becomes generally available.
A new version of the .NET SDK. It uses a stable 2018-01-01 API version and includes a few changes.
Note that updates are deployed gradually in batches, and it usually takes a week or more for every active service instance to receive them.

Update on Senior Housing Acquisitions
Encouraged by increased valuations caused by low interest rates and strong demand for senior housing services, senior housing providers and investors continue to acquire properties at a rapid clip all across the country.
Acquisition Activity Ramps Up in the West and Midwest
In addition to recently launching a $250 million senior living platform, Chicago Pacific Founders (CPF) purchased the independent living communities Echelon Senior Living in Las Vegas and Atrium of Belleville in St. Louis, and a majority stake in the Minneapolis-based senior living management company, Grace Management, Inc. CPF's management is extremely excited about these purchases because they believe they give the company a strong foundation from which to purchase, develop, and operate a large portfolio of senior housing communities. The Echelon community in Las Vegas and the Atrium facility in St. Louis both have additional acreage on which CPF is considering developing new memory care and assisted living properties.
Another acquisition that recently took place in the Midwest was Summit Healthcare REIT's $8 million purchase of two skilled nursing facilities in Colorado. The two properties are Juniper Village at Monte Vista and Juniper Village at Lamar. Both properties contain 60 beds, are at least 20,000 square feet, were built in 1972, and were renovated in 2008. Summit Healthcare will lease the properties to Dakavia Management Corp. under a 15-year triple-net-lease agreement, and Dakavia will operate them. Dakavia and Summit Healthcare already maintain a relationship because Dakavia operates three of the REIT's other properties. Summit is excited to bring them along to operate its new Juniper properties.
Lastly, another owner/operator in the Midwest recently purchased Ide Management Group's 19 property senior housing portfolio for $63 million. This acquisition includes approximately 1,160 skilled nursing beds in facilities located in Indiana and Iowa. Some of the properties also contain a few assisted living beds, but because of the care services the facilities provide and their overall design, these beds were classified as nursing beds when the portfolio's value was determined. The portfolio's occupancy rate is 80 percent, and includes a mix of private pay and Medicare residents. The buyer also picked up an option to assume or purchase 12 additional properties that Ide Management is currently leasing to a public REIT sometime before 2020. Ide Management's ownership was anxious to sell these properties because they decided to transition out of the senior housing industry, and the buyer was attracted to the portfolio because of the properties' Midwestern location and its profit potential.
While interest rates remain low and the senior housing market remains dynamic, providers and investors seeking capital for acquisitions, sale/leasebacks, debt refinancing, or other purposes should continue to look to the Chicago-based financing firm Cambridge Realty Capital for assistance in financing these and other senior housing transactions.

Weather doesn't dampen spirits of the festival anglers at the Bann Bonanza!
The full capacity of forty anglers took part in this year's Bann Bonanza coarse angling competition last week, ahead of the potential siting of the 2019 Fips-ed European Championship in Ireland at Portglenone.
The festival on the Lower River Bann takes place on Mid Ulster District Council's angling facility at Fisherman's Walk, Portglenone where there are 89 managed swims over a mile-long stretch.
The competition saw anglers draw random rotations of four sections along the river which uniquely ensures a different mix of anglers each day, finishing with a full open draw on day 5. It was a close-run competition that saw Coleraine angler Rickey Peoples (Hinders Bait) take the 2018 title with a 5-day weight of 32.125kg.
Good performances saw Belfast anglers William Donaldson finish in the runner-up position and Aaron Hutchman third both having fished consistently throughout the week.
Even with high winds and heavy rain the angler's spirits were not dampened as in true Irish style this makes for a sociable festival; plenty of banter and craic on the bank, the chance of a 'flyer' on Friday and plenty of prizes shared around the match including a wooden spoon and voucher from Loughview Angling Centre presented to Ron Parker (Oxfordshire) for being last man of the match, all received in good spirits.
Anglers from the UK and Ireland were this year joined by Petar Dimitrovski from Slovenia who took part to get a flavour of the river ahead of the planned European Championships next June.
The National Coarse Fishing Federation of Ireland have been awarded the privilege of hosting the Fips-ed European Championships in Ireland in 2019 and the River Bann is a preferred location. Working with Waterways Ireland and Mid Ulster District Council the Portglenone angling facility is set to be enhanced to facilitate the event in the coming months.
Chair of Mid Ulster District Council. Councillor Sean McPeake presented the prizes on the final day of the festival, saying, "We are extremely fortunate to have some of the best stretches of river for coarse and game fishing in the country in Mid Ulster, and we welcome local, regional and international visitors alike to the banks of the Bann. This year's Bonanza saw some fantastic results, and we not only look forward to next year's Bann Bonanza, but also the potential Fips-ed European Championships in 2019."
The festival received support from The Honourable Irish Society, Mid Ulster District Council, Waterways Ireland, GW Pumping Services of Leeds, Loughview Angling Centre, Championfeed Groundbaits, Fish Matrix and Prescot Angling.
Festival organiser Derek Buckley, said, "Despite the effects of the unusual seasonal weather, our competitors have really enjoyed fishing the banks of the Bann this year. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the sponsors, the Wild Duck Inn for their warm hospitality and complimentary food and Philip Hartin and members of the Lower Bann CAA who assist throughout plus the anglers who volunteered for the daily weigh-ins. Not forgetting all those who travelled to the area to take part in this year's festival we look forward to seeing them again next year!"
The 2019 Bann Bonanza will take place from the 4th to 8th of November 2019.

Admission Information - Full-Time and Part-Time Third Year Direct Entry Programs
The Ted Rogers School of Business Management will consider graduates of an approved three-year Advanced Diploma in Business Administration from a public Ontario College for Direct Entry to the third year of the Business Management program. A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 ('B') or higher is required for admission consideration. Subject to competition and space limitation, a higher grade point average may be required.
College graduates are required to complete all third and fourth year courses. To ensure adequate academic preparation, graduates will also be required to complete up to six courses from the second year, or provide evidence that equivalent courses have already been completed. The additional course(s) will include FIN 300, FIN 401, LAW 122† or their equivalent. Please refer to the direct entry website for complete information on the reachback courses for each major.
Acceptable Business Administration Advanced Diplomas are determined at Ryerson's sole discretion. Programs that lack sufficient academic preparation, especially in quantitative analysis, will not be accepted for Direct Entry admission. Please visit the Undergraduate Admissions program page for further details.
The Business Management Direct Entry majors that are available are Economics and Management Science, Entrepreneurship, Global Management, Law and Business, Human Resources Management, Marketing Management and Real Estate Management.
Due to the nature of the required courses and their prerequisites in the Entrepreneurship Major, students pursuing the Direct Entry Entrepreneurship Major option will normally require three years to complete the program.
Direct Entry Business Management program students can pursue a minor. Refer to the Transfer Credit and Minors sections of the calendar for details.
At this time the co-op program is not available for Business Management Direct Entry students.
The Business Management program provides students with a specialization in their chosen vocation, a practical and comprehensive knowledge of all basic functions of business, an awareness of social, political, and economic issues facing contemporary society, a questioning attitude to encourage and assist change, an ability to employ analytical skills for decision-making, and a desire to continue to learn and develop. It is considered important that all students in the Business Management program demonstrate an ability to write in clear and correct English. A lack of competence in written work submitted may be reflected in the final grade. Further development of writing and communication skills can be obtained through the elective English and Communication courses.
The first two semesters are common to all students. The curriculum provides students with a general overview of business in society, introduces them to all the basic business functions, and develops their awareness of social, human and economic issues through the introduction of the liberal studies.
In third semester students enter their major in one of: Economics and Management Science, Entrepreneurship, Global Management, Human Resources Management, Law and Business, Marketing Management or Real Estate Management. The Marketing Management Major has a specific entrance requirement which is outlined within the curriculum. In addition, students continue studies in general business courses and the liberal studies area to broaden their perspective. The major started in the third semester is continued throughout the program.
The Marketing Department in the Ted Rogers School of Business Management co-ordinates an interdisciplinary Minor in Sales Management and Service Quality. This Minor provides students with the knowledge, skills and tools to manage customer relationships and to work effectively as a member of a sales team.
A limited number of students who have completed a three-year Business Administration diploma program with a minimum 'B' average from a recognized Community College, are admitted each year. These students are usually approved directly into the third year of the program. This opportunity is available on either a full- or part-time basis.
Experience has shown that our graduates are well-equipped to offer valuable services to the business community. Many graduates will go into the business world and will find complete satisfaction in their progress to greater responsibilities. The students are not simply learning to react to business pressures. They are prepared to operate pro-actively. Students work in the classroom and on real-life projects, learning how the process of solving problems works. The professors immerse the students thoroughly in their disciplines and then add the dimension of experience making Business education at Ryerson more relevant in the business world.
Students must take three lower level liberal studies courses and three upper level liberal studies courses to graduate. Students must not choose courses that are restricted for their program or major.
Please refer to the liberal studies chapter of this calendar for more information on the Liberal Studies Policy. Further information on liberal studies can also be found at the Faculty of Arts' Liberal Studies website.

Part-Time Program Notes
Course Identification
Part-time courses are administered by either the program department or The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education. The mode of delivery is not reflected in this calendar. Continuing education courses are listed in your enrolment information package and are identified by with a 'C' prefix (e.g., CACC100). These identifiers are for internal use only and do not affect the equivalency.
Curriculum Information - Part-Time Program
The part-time program is offered to accommodate those students who intend to take the degree at a slower pace than the full-time day program, due to the demands of daytime employment and/or family obligations. Part-time students fulfill their course requirements primarily in the evenings by enrolling in courses through The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education for the first six semesters, and through The Ted Rogers School of Business Management evening course offerings for semesters seven and eight. Part-time students are entitled to access up to a maximum of three courses per semester, space permitting. The School can make no guarantees that all courses required will be offered or available each semester for the part-time program. Students who feel that the part-time course accessibility no longer suits them, should apply to transfer permanently into the full-time day program.
Students interested in pursuing an Entrepreneurship Major should know that the majority of courses required for the Major will not be available in the evening (at this time). Students wanting to pursue this Major will have to take the majority of the required courses during the day.
Part-time undergraduate students complete the curriculum for their program as set out in the edition of the Undergraduate Calendar of the year they were admitted to their program, unless stated otherwise.
Co-operative Education Overview
Optional Co-operative Program
The Ted Rogers School of Business Management also offers co-op options for each of the seven majors, providing graduates with 16 months of work experience integrated into their academic experience.
Students wishing to be considered for the co-op option can apply for admission as early as the end of the first year of their program. Please be advised that admission deadlines vary by major. Admission is competitive, with the assessment of applicants taking the form of a competition based on academic performance, non-academic requirements, and potential to succeed in co-op work terms.
NOTE: Students are expected to follow the sequence prescribed for their program. Deviation from the sequence requires the submission of a formal request to the Co-op Faculty Advisor and approval from the School. With permission from the School/Department, students may be allowed to graduate with the co-op endorsement with fewer than the prescribed work terms.

Inside The World Of The "Jesus Of Siberia"
Inside The Community That Follows The "Jesus Of Siberia"
Meghan De Maria
Photo: Kate Brooks/Redux.
Tucked away in Siberia, there's a community led by a former traffic cop who believes that he is Jesus Christ reincarnated.
Some call him the "Jesus of Siberia." But Sergey Anatolyevitch Torop prefers to be called Vissarion.
He leads the Church of the Last Testament, a movement based in the Siberian taiga. Photojournalist Kate Brooks visited Vissarion's community in 2008 to learn more about him and his followers, and to document their way of life.
In her description of the project, Brooks explains that Vissarion's philosophy includes inspiration from "elements of the Russian Orthodox Church and Buddhism to Islam."
The community was "very welcoming," Brooks told Refinery29.
"They're vegetarian — I don't eat meat, so that was automatically something that connected me to them, even if I'm not following what they believe in, per se," she explained.
She stayed in the community for about two weeks while capturing the photo series.
Vissarion's following isn't a small one — roughly 4,000 people live in his community, according to Vice's former editor-in-chief Rocco Castoro, who reported on his visit to the settlement in 2011. About 250 of his closest followers live in an area called the Abode of Dawn.
Vissarion holds a weekly gathering, similar to a sermon, with his followers. "They had contact with him, but very limited contact with him," Brooks explained.
She observed that Vissarion's community was "more about living on the land, eating from the land, and being vegetarian, praying a number of times a day."
In other words, it was about the mindset, and not just Vissarion's teachings. Brooks said she observed "a disassociation with a number of aspects of modern life" in many members of the community.
Ahead, a look at what life is like for Vissarion and his followers.

Are all noodle's the same? Now, imagine this – 'Bario Rice Noodles'.
Bario rice purists would definitely squeal "but why?". "Bario rice is great as it is", so they'd say. Read on to see what happens when a group of researchers try to process the very expensive Bario rice into Kway Teow noodles.
Definitely a good read if you love kway teow noodles, or if you love Bario rice, and better still, if you love both.


It was I think 12 years ago. I was in the Opposition, as I am now - there was a happier period in-between. I held the immigration portfolio.
It was a time when settlement services in Australia weren't running as well as they are now.
There was a man on his first night in Australia who had arrived with his family. From the service that wasn't as good as what we have now, he was shown where the stove was, where the rice was and shown where the telephone was.
One of his daughters was quite ill and on this first night, they looked around for a while, trying to work out where they can light a fire.
They couldn't work out how to light a fire and so they ate raw rice as their first meal in Australia.
But it was a couple of nights later when his daughter had a seizure and for the first time he went to the telephone that he had been shown, picked it up only to discover that there wasn't a voice on the other end.
He ended up walking through the streets of the suburb he was in calling out to people for help.
We had only just started up opening up our humanitarian program to people from Africa. So he was calling out in a language that none of his neighbours understood.
His daughter didn't make it.
That's what the welcome to Australia becomes if we get settlement wrong.
The work that is done by the people in this room is extraordinary, just extraordinary.
No government can do what you do because you provide that human face. You provide that direct personal engagement that no briefing note will match, no file will match.
When someone has arrived having experienced torture and trauma that might be quite different from what has been experienced by anyone else who has ever come here, you are their person. The work you do is a big part of what their welcome in Australia is.
I wish it was the whole story but it's not.
The environment of the race debate in this country is the other part of the story.
The part that sets the atmosphere to whether or not people feel they have been truly welcomed to Australia.
There is, for all your efforts, at one level almost nothing you can do that makes the welcome real if the voices of hatred get loud enough.
I often want to talk about us being the most successful multicultural nation in the world.
I'm always more reluctant to when there are Canadians in the room. But I want it to be true.
About two years ago the voices of hatred started to get elected in our Parliaments again.
How we handle that won't define what my day-to-day life is like, because I will never be a victim of hate speech in this country.
But how we handle that will determine whether or not people who start to get pushed to the margins feel that they have truly arrived in a place that didn't want them.
There used to be a phrase in Australian politics that was coined by Laurie Oakes that was called 'dog whistle politics' - the concept that you could send out a coded message and most people wouldn't hear it but the person you really wanted to hear it, they'd know you are on their side.
It doesn't happen anymore. There are no dog whistles in Australian politics now, people know exactly what is going on and they are foghorns.
They are loud, angry foghorns.
And against that, the voices of decency and the voices of unity have to prevail.
I want all these things to be bipartisan - they used to be - and I believe in the future they will be again.
During the course of this term, we did have another attempt to weaken our laws against racial hate speech.
We did have an attempt to change our citizenship laws which introduced a new English language test that you would have to pass even if you had been speaking English all your life and came from Singapore. But you wouldn't have to pass if you had been speaking English all your life and came from Canada.
And the test was set at the same level that a number of universities have as their entrance requirement.
I understand that is no longer Government policy. But we really need to be careful because these messages aren't just heard by the voters in some marginal seat that you might be trying to appeal to.
These messages are heard by people who absolutely need to hear a message of welcome.
I had a brief period as Australia's citizenship Minister; I was the last one my side of politics had.
As well as the wonderful words of the citizenship pledge that Senator Reynolds read out earlier there is also a Minister's message that changes with each Minister.
The final words of the message that I had as Minister were the words 'welcome home'; the last message that would be given to people from the government before they became citizens.
Those words were removed and haven't been put back. I hope no matter who is in government at some point, the words 'welcome home' come back.
Because ultimately in any multicultural society there are three ways of organising and it's as simple as the food on our tables.
We keep the ingredients separate and we have segregation. We put them through the blender and we have assimilation. We allow them to be a salad where every ingredient keeps its identity but together you still get a national flavour. And in that, we have a true, successful multicultural model.
There have been times in Australia when we have done it brilliantly.
Right now we have to be honest; there are voices of hatred wanting to put that under threat.
We need to have the voices of decency be louder than the voices of hatred.
We don't appease them, we don't placate them and we don't preference them.
Only then we can make sure that the welcome isn't only put back into a citizenship message but it is something that people feel here - every day.
Thank you so much for the work you are doing.


"The whole team at KPT is great and they have such a well-equipped office. I worked closely with Gary and Tami for almost eight weeks and they were just so knowledgable and attentive and lovely to work with. I'd highly recommend KPT for anyone." – Kate C.
"Gary Kassimir was welcoming, knowledgeable, patience, funny, and hospitable (Thanks for the coffee). I left with a plan of attack, a bit more education that I came in with and some home exercises. Thanks for the excellent service from your assistant (sorry, didn't get his name). You all made this lady feel hopeful."
"From the moment you walk into Kassimir Physical Therapy you realize that you are in a very professional, friendly, and top-quality practice. Every staff member from the office staff to therapists made it their priority to take the best care of me. I was very impressed with the multitude of what seems like cutting edge approaches along with the strong knowledge base of each therapist. The environment is bright and well equipped. I thank everyone at KPT for all of their dedication and hard work as they assisted me with my care and goal of feeling better." – Lisa G.
"I am a patient at Kassimir Physical Therapy, have been for several years dealing with several medical issues, which some required surgical repair. The staff at KPT, made a stressful situation positive by providing me with excellent, thoughtful and compassionate care. I want to publicly recognize and extend my gratitude to KPT for the level of care they were able to administer to me.

What should you do if an earthquake hits while you're driving?
We might not always recognize it, but Metro Manila residents live in constant fear of the "Big One," the massive once-in-a-millennium earthquake that could strike within our lifetime. After all, we've seen the devastating effects a quake can have in other parts of the country. Even when we feel the mere aftershocks of a distant epicenter, we experience all sorts of doubts about our chances of survival.
A quake can strike without warning, so it helps to be prepared wherever you might be. It could even hit while you're casually driving down the street. In case that happens, you should know the proper steps to take to ensure your safety.

Once again, we're up early to get on a six hour bus ride.
This time, we're off to Siem Reap, which is a town located next to the famous ancient temples of northern Cambodia. Angkor Wat is probably best known of these temples and was the center of the Khmer empire at the turn of the last millenium.
We'll be staying there for about a week to do some serious temple exploring. I finally get to fulfill my childhood dream of being Indiana Jones. Can't wait.
I'll fill in all the details later. I'm having a hard time typing on this keyboard and I still have some packing to do.
Goodbye Phnom Penh. I think you're great.

SEJ Mourns the Loss of John Freemuth
Conservation Champion and Head of the Andrus Center
Was Also a Staunch Advocate for SEJ
Photo: Courtesy of the Andrus Center
The Society of Environmental Journalists is saddened to learn of John Freemuth's passing. John was a stalwart supporter of SEJ and it was his vision that brought SEJ's 2020 conference to Boise State University. [This, unfortunately, did not happen due to the COVID-19 pandemic.] As the inaugural chair of the university's Andrus Center for Public Policy, he upheld the legacy of its namesake by leading a national dialogue on public lands policy.
But more than that, he was a great spirit. A robust life force. Funny as hell. Irreverent. Super smart and accomplished. And generous with his time and knowledge; for example, he would regularly take calls about Western issues from reporters from all over the country, such as a Philly reporter who — unfamiliar with the Bureau of Land Management, or BLM — asked him to explain why Black Lives Matters was involved in a public lands dispute.
As his long distinguished academic career was winding down, it was journalists he wanted to spend time with. John even joined SEJ as an academic member and ran for the academic board seat in Fort Collins last year. With his typical over-the-top modesty, when he took the mic for his candidate's statement, he told the room to vote for the candidate who just spoke before him because she sounded great. Meantime, he added, he'll look forward to seeing us all in Boise for the next annual event.
SEJ has worked with many university liaisons over the years. John was special. We miss him dearly and our hearts go out to his wife Sheri and their two sons.

\section*{The demonstration}

We calculated free energies of a CH3SH molecule using the method \cite{farhi2014calculation} and compared to the results obtained
by MD simulations  in vacuum/dilute gas
and in water. We performed the calculations at $T=300\mathrm{K}$
and used a realistic force field in which each molecule is individually
parametrized \citep{malde2011automated} (see Fig. 1) . The force
field parametrization was according to bond stretching and bond angle
potentials which are slightly different from the standard ones and
we performed our calculations accordingly. We give the equations for
the potentials here for completeness:

\[
V_{c}=\frac{1}{2}k_{c}\left(r^{2}-r_{0}^{2}\right)^{2},\, V_{b}=\frac{1}{2}k_{\theta}\left(\cos\theta-\cos\theta_{0}\right)^{2},\,
\]
$$V_{d}\left(\phi_{ijkl}\right)=k_{\phi}\left(1+\cos\left(n\phi-\phi_{s}\right)\right).$$

\begin{figure}[h]
\caption{CH3SH molecule with the bond and dihedral angle potentials presented.
$\theta_{0}$ and $k_{\theta}$ are on top and bottom and are with
units of $\mathbf{\mathrm{degrees}}$ and $\mathrm{kJ}\cdot\mathrm{mol^{-1}}$
respectively. $r_{0}$ and $k_{c}$ are in units of $\mathrm{nm}$
and $\mathrm{kJ}\cdot\mathrm{mol^{-1}}\cdot\mathrm{nm^{-4}}$ respectively.
The bond stretching terms and their coefficients are $r_{012}=0.133,$
$k_{c12}=8.87\cdot10^{6}$, $r_{023}=0.183,$ $k_{c23}=5.62\cdot10^{6}$,
$r_{034}=r_{035}=r_{036}=0.109,\, k_{c34}=k_{c35}=k_{c36}=1.23\cdot10^{7}.$}
\medskip{}
\centering{}\includegraphics[scale=0.8]{Methanethiol2}
\end{figure}

The goal is to demonstrate the free energy calculations associated
with the potentials that depend on the relative spherical coordinates presented in Ref. \citep{farhi2014calculation}.
This calculation is for atoms that do not interact via VDW and electrostatic
interactions, after that these interactions have been removed in a
transformation. Since only atoms that are distanced 4 covalent bonds
or more interact via VDW and electrostatic interactions, these interactions
do not exist in the molecule in the gas state. Thus the free energy
of the molecule can be decomposed into the free energies associated
with the bond stretching terms, the bond angle term, the dihedral
angle term and the CH3 bond junction. When the molecule is in a solvent
we removed the VDW and Coulomb interactions of the atoms involved, and calculated
the free energies associated with the bond and dihedral angle terms
\citep{farhi2014calculation}.

\section*{Results}

The free energy contributions were calculated by substituting the force field bond stretching and bond angle potentials in the corresponding partition functions in Ref. \citep{farhi2014calculation} and integrating (see Appendix II) and by using the partition functions from Ref. \citep{farhi2014calculation}. The results are presented below:
\[
F_{c12}=5.33\mathrm{kcal/mol},F_{c23}=5\mathrm{kcal/mol},
\]
$$F_{c34}=F_{c35}=F_{c36}=5.54\mathrm{kcal/mol},F_{b\,123}=0.97\mathrm{kcal/mol},$$
\[
F_{d\,1234}=-0.58\mathrm{kcal/mol},F_{\mathrm{CH3}}=\mathrm{5.39kcal/mol,}
\]
where we have used $F=-k_{B}T\ln Z$.
These results are valid both for vacuum and solvent as explained in
Ref. \cite{farhi2014calculation}.

The free energy associated with the bond and dihedral angle terms
can be calculated using MD simulation by removing terms and subtracting
the free energy of the corresponding element $\emph{without}$ the
potentials (this is simply $F=-k_{B}T\ln\Omega$). The free energy
associated with the bond stretching terms on the other hand cannot
be calculated by MD simulations since removing these terms will result
in atoms which are unbound to the molecule and therefore impractical
calculations.

To verify the analysis and the calculations we performed 21 MD simulations
of intermediate systems which interpolate between the molecule and
the molecule with the dihedral term associated with $\phi_{1234}$ removed both in vacuum/dilute
gas and in solvent. The calculated free energy differences associated
with these transformations were
\[
\Delta F_{d\,\mathrm{MD\, vacuum}}=\text{\textminus}0.5095\pm0.0023\mathrm{kcal/mol},
\]

\[
\Delta F_{d\,\mathrm{MD\, water}}=\text{\textminus}0.5095\pm0.0023\mathrm{kcal/mol}.
\]
 These results can be compared to
\[
\Delta F_{d\,\mathrm{Eq}.\,\left(3\right)}=-k_{B}T\ln\Omega_{d}-F_{d}=
\]
 $$-k_{B}T\ln2\pi+k_{B}T\ln2\pi e^{-\beta k_{\phi}}I_{0}\left(\beta k_{\phi}\right)=$$
\[
k_{B}T\ln\left[e^{-\beta k_{\phi}}I_{0}\left(\beta k_{\phi}\right)\right]=-0.507982\mathrm{kcal/mol,}
\]

obtained by simply substituting $k_{\phi}$ and $\beta$ in this equation
which is based on Eq. (3) in Ref. \citep{farhi2014calculation}. This
validates both the free energy calculation and the partition function
decomposition in Eq. (5).

We then performed transformations in which the bond angle term associated
with $\theta_{123}$ is relaxed. We performed the transformation both
using the bond angle potential of the force field and by treating
the parameters as if they were given for the standard harmonic bond
angle term mentioned in Ref. \citep{farhi2014calculation}. The results
obtained from the MD simulations in vacuum and water for the harmonic
potential are the following:

\[
\Delta F_{b\,\mathrm{MD\, vacuum\, harmonic}}=-1.39\pm0.0023\mathrm{kcal/mol,}
\]
\[
\Delta F_{b\,\mathrm{MD\, water\, harmonic}}=-1.39\pm0.01\mathrm{kcal/mol.}
\]
These results are in agreement with the calculation according to Eq.
(2):
\[
\Delta F_{d\,\mathrm{Eq.\,(2)}}=-k_{B}T\ln2-F_{b\,\mathrm{harmonic}}=-1.38152\mathrm{kcal/mol}.
\]
The results obtained from MD simulations in vacuum and water for the
force field  bond angle potential are the following:
\[
\Delta F_{b\,\mathrm{MD\, vacuum\, cos}}=-1.388\pm0.0023\mathrm{kcal/mol,}
\]
\[
\Delta F_{b\,\mathrm{MD\, water\, cos}}=-1.421\pm0.024\mathrm{kcal/mol.}
\]
These results are in agreement with the calculation according to the
same potential:
\[
\Delta F_{b\,\mathrm{cos}}=-k_{B}T\ln2-F_{b\,\mathrm{cos}}\mathrm{=-1.38152kcal/mol.}
\]
We then performed the transformation of the CH3 bond junction in which
the bond angle terms associated with the angles $\theta_{234},\theta_{235},\theta_{236},\theta_{435},\theta_{436}$
and $\theta_{536}$ were relaxed. The results obtained from MD simulations
for the harmonic potential are the following:
\[
\Delta F_{\mathrm{CH3}\,\mathrm{MD\, vacuum\, harmonic}}=-9.019\pm0.007\mathrm{kcal/mol,}
\]
\[
\Delta F_{\mathrm{CH3}\,\mathrm{MD\, water\, harmonic}}=-9.038\pm0.012\mathrm{kcal/mol}.
\]
These results are in agreement with result obtained by numerically
integrating according to Eq. (7) in Ref. \citep{farhi2014calculation}

\[
\Delta F_{\mathrm{CH3}\,\mathrm{Eq.\,\left(7\right)}}=-k_{B}T\left[\ln\left(32\pi^{2}\right)-\ln\left(Z_{\mathrm{CH3\, harmonic}}\right)\right]=
\]
$$-9.02383\pm0.0021\mathrm{kcal/mol}.$$

We also calculated the free energy difference associated with the
CH3 transformation using the force field  bond angle potential. The results obtained
from MD simulations are the following:

\[
\Delta F_{\mathrm{CH3}\,\mathrm{MD\, vacuum\, cos}}=-8.83\pm0.0047\mathrm{kcal/mol,}
\]

\[
\Delta F_{\mathrm{CH3}\,\mathrm{MD\, water\, cos}}=-8.82\pm0.014\mathrm{kcal/mol.}
\]

These results are in agreement with the result obtained by the numerical
integration

\[
\Delta F_{\mathrm{CH3}\,\mathrm{cos}}=-8.804\pm0.00365\mathrm{kcal/mol}.
\]

The calculations of the free energies associated with the bond stretching,
bond angle and dihedral angle terms were immediate $\sim10^{-8}-10^{-7}\mathrm{sec}$
with 8 digits of precision as they are merely substitutions in Eqs.
(1)-(3) \citep{farhi2014calculation} (in the force field we used
Eqs. (1) and (2) were slightly different). MD simulations in a total
running time of $3.5\cdot21=73.5$ minutes and $1\cdot21=21$ hours
(Six-Core AMD Opteron(tm) processor 2427, 2.19 Ghz) for vacuum and
water environments respectively, yielded a precision of 2-3 digits,
that may be lower in practice due to the spacing between intermediates.

The running time of the numerical integration in the free energy calculation
of the CH3 bond junction was $2.34\mathrm{sec}$ on a 2GHz dual core
intel processor. The total running time of the MD simulations was
$3.5\cdot21=73.5$ minutes and $9\cdot21=189$ hours (Six-Core AMD
Opteron(tm) processor 2427, 2.19 Ghz) for vacuum and water environments
respectively.

\section*{Discussion}
We have demonstrated free energy calculation of methanethiol by treating
the molecule as non interacting systems. The comparison to MD simulation
shows agreement between the results and faster computations when using
the method by factors starting from 1800. These factors are expected
to grow with the molecule size as the computation time when using
the method does not change.

\section*{Appendix}

\section{Simulation Protocol}

We have used the Gromos53a7 force field parameters (from ATB server
\cite{malde2011automated}) along with spc water model for simulations.
The cubic box with a minimum distance of 1 nm between the solute and
the box edge was considered during the simulations. After minimization,
the systems were equilibrated (only for solvent simulations) in NVT
and NPT ensembles for 100 ps. The simulations were performed under
NPT ensemble, both in vacuum and water at each of the 21 equispaced
intermediate $\lambda$ states including the initial ($\lambda=0$)
and final states ($\lambda=1$). The length of simulation was 20 ns
in vacuum and 1 ns in solvent. However, in the case of
bond angle transformation of the CH3 group in water, the length of the
simulation was 20 ns at each intermediate. We have computed
the free energy change using the BAR (Bennett's acceptance ratio)
method in which a series of individual free energies is combined into a free energy estimate \cite{bennett1976efficient}.

\section{Additional calculations}

We substituted the force field  bond stretching and bond angle potentials in the corresponding equations in Ref. \citep{farhi2014calculation} and integrated. We obtained the following expressions

\begin{widetext}
$$Z_{c}=\frac{\pi e^{-\frac{1}{4}a}}{8\beta k_{c}r_{0}}\left\{ a\left[I_{\frac{3}{4}}\left(a/4\right)+I_{\frac{5}{4}}\left(a/4\right)\right]+aI_{-\frac{1}{4}}\left(a/4\right)+\left(a+2\right)I_{\frac{1}{4}}\left(a/4\right)\right\}, $$

where
$a\equiv\beta k_{c}r_{0}^{4}$ and $I_n \left( x \right )$ is the modified Bessel function of the first kind,

$$Z_{b}=\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2\beta k_{\theta}}}\left\{ \text{erf}\left[\sqrt{2\beta k_{\theta}}\sin^{2}\left(\frac{\theta_{0}}{2}\right)\right]+\text{erf}\left[\sqrt{\frac{\beta k_{\theta}}{2}}\left(\cos\left(\theta_{0}\right)+1\right)\right]\right\},$$

$$ Z_{nb}=\int\prod_{i}^{n}e^{-\frac{\beta}{2}k_{i}^{\theta}\left(\cos\theta_{i}-\cos\theta_{i}^{0}\right)^{2}}\prod_{i>j}e^{-\frac{\beta}{2}k_{ij}^{\theta}\left(\cos\theta_{ij}-\cos\theta_{ij}^{0}\right)^{2}}\prod_{i}^{n}\sin\theta_{i}d\theta_{i}\prod_{i\geq2}d\phi_{i}
.$$

Rape Narrative in the American South
Author: Denise R. Shaw
This study examines how sexual violence, specifically rape, is used as a trope to understand the complex and dysfunctional makeup of the South. Southern writers from William Faulkner to Dorothy Allison use rape as a means of figuring individual and collective disenfranchisement and perpetuate a vision of the South immersed in violence and melancholic nature. Sexual violence, then, is situated as a reaction to historical and cultural changes, tenuous race relations, deeply imbedded mores, social taboos, and rigid class distinctions. The study is informed by the trauma theories of Freud and Caruth, the abjection theory of Julia Kristeva, and Jessica Benjamin's theory of mutuality.
"Denise Shaw's book provides a new and illuminating look at a genre that I thought I knew: the modern American rape narrative. Having written my own book on representations of sexual freedom and sexual violence in literature of and about the sixties era, it has been both challenging and exciting to read Shaw's work on the Southern American rape narrative and to become convinced of the meaningfulness of that regional designation. ... In Shaw's analysis, rape is the mechanism for lashing out against abjected parts of the self, those abjected aspects represented by even more vulnerable subjects: namely women and African Americans." - Pamela E. Barnett, Associate Director, McGraw Center for Teaching & Learning, Princeton University
"Denise Shaw offers a timely and discerning analysis of the trope of rape in the Southern novel between 1930 and 1995. ... Shaw argues convincingly that such actions are an externalized lament for a lost South whose mores are inevitably re-inscribed, even by those authors who set out their stall for change. As such, Shaw's work makes an important contribution to contemporary discussions on gender and violence in Southern literature, particularly with regard to the trope of rape." - Professor Carl Jenkinson, University of South Carolina
"Although sensitive to the cultural forces that have compelled novelists from 1930 to the 1990s to trace and retrace patterns of loss in narratives of sexual violence, Shaw holds modern Southern novels accountable for the failure to move beyond the cyclic mourning of past losses. Her book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the rape-haunted South and provides a powerful argument for the honest witnessing needed to heal it." - Professor Judith Giblin James, University of South Carolina

Q: How to upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04 I happen to be running Ubuntu 12.10 on my machine and I noticed that it is no longer supported since there are no quantal repositories left and I can't update or install any software any more.
I tried to run update-manager, but it failed to download repository information since it doesn't exist any more.
How would I proceed to upgrade this machine (without a complete new install of course)?

A: This question was addressed a couple times, the relevant links are
How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release?
Can I skip over releases when upgrading?
Both of them suggest that it's probably a mess to upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04 since it would involve 3 upgrades, so it might be easiest to change archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com (as in the top answer in the first link) and do a fresh install when I have the time.

Memorial Day weekend was awesome! My parents came home to visit and I wish they could have stayed longer :( While they were home, my mom taught me how to crochet. My mom is the master crocheter! She can whip up a blanket on a road trip to Florida and be finished by the time we get there. Trust me, I have seen her do it! So, I chose to do a scarf as my first project. So, my holiday weekend consisted of bar-b-que'ing and laying out at the pool crocheting my scarf.
I double crocheted, 23 in a row. I used a 10 1/2 crochet hook. The yarn was Loops & Threads Charisma in the color - 18 Sunny Day. For the fringe I used the same brand of yarn in the color - 7 Dk. Blue. I put 7 of those on. That was very fun to do and it was very meditating at the same time.

Loblaw embarks on $1.2-billion retail refresh expected to create 5,000 jobs
Loblaw Companies Ltd. (TSX:L), Canada's largest supermarket chain, aims to increase its footprint in the competitive grocery market following the withdrawal of Target from the Canadian market
Hollie Shaw
TORONTO – Having put most of its energy into a massive infrastructure and IT rollout over several years, Loblaw Cos. Ltd is once again turning to the business of refreshing its stores, sharpening its food assortment and building new locations as part of a $1.2-billion spending plan in 2015.
Loblaw will build 50 new stores, under its own banners and that of Shoppers Drug Mart, to boost its network of 2,300 locations across the country and will also renovate more than 100 stores. Loblaw estimates the projects will create about 5,000 jobs at its corporate and independently owned grocery outlets.

It comes as the investment pendulum swings from a heavy infrastructure investment toward customer-facing retail refurbishments.
In 2014, the company opened 22 corporate and franchise stores, closed 12, and divested two, resulting in flat square footage growth. In 2013, Loblaw opened 26 corporate and franchise stores and closed 13, resulting in a net square footage increase of 0.8%.
"The majority [of 2015 capital expenditures] are going into retail, where the portion [spent] on infrastructure is reducing every year, and it's continuing to reduce next year," Loblaw chief financial officer Richard Dufresne told analysts on a conference call last week.
Or, as executive chairman Galen Weston put it, the company is now making "investments that Canadians will see with their own eyes."
Grocery retailers need to refresh their formats regularly every few years in order to stay relevant in a hypercompetitive Canadian market, experts say, particularly as square footage growth diminishes in the wake of two years of record grocery square footage expansion from Wal-Mart Canada.

Loblaw's fresh approach giving it a big edge in heated grocery battle
Loblaw has been laying the groundwork for its top-tier grocery format by testing out new products and fresh food ideas at its store inside the former hockey palace Maple Leaf Gardens, selling a wide array of gourmet items, higher grade meats and fresh produce for adventurous home chefs.
"Loblaw is one of the best in class retailers in Canada, perhaps in North Amercia," said Bruce Edward Winder, senior advisor at retail consultancy J.C. Williams Group in Toronto. "Every three to five years you have to tune up your footprint as a retailer. You have to keep evolving. If you don't do that, you start to lose relevance and your customers will take notice, and you will lose market share. Loblaw's consumers are a little bit more affluent and have higher expectations of décor in a grocery chain."
Other in-store changes include bringing Loblaw's in-house Joe Fresh clothing brand to 50 more of its grocery stores this year.
Loblaw's building announcement comes as new building growth slows at Walmart, the country's biggest mass merchant, which said last month it will increase its Canadian store count to 396 locations in 2015 from a current level of 394. Walmart plans to spend $340-million on building and renovation projects as it expands to 309 stores with a full grocery department, from a current level of 280.

Understanding the Disease
Yellow fever is caused by a virus that is carried by a biting mosquito. Only humans and monkeys can be naturally infected with yellow fever virus. A mosquito that is capable of transmitting yellow fever virus is present in southern parts of the United States.
Epidemic yellow fever used to occur in the United States but now the disease occurs only in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America, where it is endemic and intermittently epidemic. There are 200,000 estimated cases of yellow fever (with 30,000 deaths) per year. However, due to underreporting, only a small percentage of these cases are identified. Small numbers of imported cases also occur in countries free of yellow fever.
Infection causes a wide spectrum of disease. Most cases of yellow fever are mild and similar to influenza, consisting of fever, headache, nausea, muscle pain and prominent backache. After three to four days most patients improve and their symptoms disappear. However, in about 15% of patients, fever reappears after 24 hours with severe illness which includes hepatitis and hemorrhagic fever. Bleeding can occur from the mouth, nose, eyes and/or stomach. Once this happens, blood appears in the vomit and feces. Kidney function also deteriorates. Half of those who develop the severe illness die within 10-14 days. The remainder recovers without significant organ damage.
The "yellow" in the name is explained by the jaundice that occurs with hepatitis.
Available Vaccines
Product: YF-VAX� (Live-attenuated 17D strain vaccine)
Manufacturer: Aventis Pasteur
There is no thimerosal in yellow fever vaccine.
History of the Vaccine
Yellow fever vaccine is an attenuated, live virus vaccine that has been used since the 1930s.
The isolation of the Asibi and French strains of yellow fever in 1927 enabled the development of vaccines. Scientists at the Rockefeller Foundation in New York developed a live vaccine (17D) attenuated by serial passage of the Asibi strain in embryonated chicken eggs. The 17D vaccine was first tested in 1936 in New York and in 1937 in Brazil.
Although the vaccine has been available for more than 60 years, the number of people infected over the last two decades has increased and yellow fever is now a serious public health issue in a number of countries once again.
Who Should and Should Not Receive this Vaccine
Who should receive the yellow fever vaccine?
All persons 9 months or older of age traveling to or living in areas where yellow fever infection is reported or yellow fever vaccination is required (specific risks for exposure to yellow fever in various regions of the world are available at www.cdc.gov/travel/destinations )
The vaccine is recommended for all travelers passing through or living in countries in Africa, Central America and South America where yellow fever infection is officially reported. It also is recommended for travel outside the urban areas of countries that do not officially report yellow fever but lie in the yellow fever �endemic zones.�
A vaccination certificate is required for entry to many countries, particularly for travelers arriving in Asia from Africa or South America. Fatal cases in unvaccinated tourists have been reported with an average of one a year for the past ten years.
Who should not receive the yellow fever vaccine?
Yellow fever vaccine should not be given to infants under 6 months of age due to a risk of viral encephalitis (brain inflammation) developing in the child. In most cases, vaccination should be deferred until the child is 9 to 12 months of age to minimize the risk of vaccine associated encephalitis. ��
Pregnant women should not be vaccinated because of a theoretical risk that the developing fetus may become infected from the vaccine. �
Infants 6 to 9 months of age and pregnant women should be considered for immunization only if they are traveling to high-risk areas, travel cannot be postponed and a high level of prevention against mosquito exposure is unfeasible.
Persons hypersensitive to eggs should not receive the vaccine because it is prepared in embryonated eggs.�
Immunocompromised persons and persons receiving cancer chemotherapy or high doses of steroids. People with asymptomatic HIV infection may be vaccinated if exposure to yellow fever cannot be avoided.
Dose Schedule
The yellow fever vaccine is administered to persons of all ages as a single dose. Immunity develops by the 10th day after primary vaccination.
A booster vaccination should be administered after 10 years. Revaccination boosts antibody titer; however, evidence from several studies suggests that yellow fever vaccine immunity persists for at least 30 to 35 years and probably for life.
Studies have shown that the serologic response to yellow fever vaccine is not inhibited by administration of certain other vaccines concurrently at separate sites or at various intervals of a few days to one month. Measles and yellow fever vaccines have been administered in combination with full efficacy of each of the components; Bacillus Calmette Gu�rin (BCG) and yellow fever vaccines have been administered simultaneously without interference; typhoid, meningococcal and yellow fever vaccines have been administered concurrently with full efficacy of each of the components.
Effectiveness of the Vaccine
Vaccination is the single most important measure for preventing yellow fever. In populations where vaccination coverage is low, vigilant surveillance is critical for prompt recognition and rapid control of outbreaks. Mosquito control measures can be used to prevent virus transmission until vaccination has taken effect.
Yellow fever vaccine is safe and highly effective. The protective effect (immunity) occurs within one week in 95% of people vaccinated. A single dose of vaccine provides protection for 10 years and probably for life.
Known Side Effects
Yellow fever vaccine generally has few side effects; fewer than 5% of vaccinees develop mild headache, muscle pain, or other minor symptoms 5 to 10 days after vaccination.
Reactions to yellow fever vaccine are generally mild. After vaccination, vaccinees have reported mild headaches, myalgia, low-grade fevers, or other minor symptoms 5�10 days after vaccination. In clinical trials, the incidence of mild adverse events has been ~25%.
Approximately 1% of vaccinees find it necessary to curtail regular activities. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions, characterized by rash, urticaria, or asthma or a combination of these, are uncommon (incidence <1 case per 131,000 vaccinees) and occur principally in persons with histories of egg allergy.
Rarely yellow fever vaccine can cause multiple organ system failure and encephalitis.
Over 400 million doses of yellow fever vaccine have been given and serious side effects are rare. However, recently a few serious adverse outcomes, including deaths, have been reported in Brazil, Australia and the United States. Scientists are investigating the cause of these adverse events, and monitoring to ensure detection of any similar incidents.
The risk to life from yellow fever is far greater than the risk from the vaccine, so people who may be exposed to yellow fever should be protected by immunization. If there is no risk of exposure, for example, if a person will not be visiting an endemic area, there is no necessity to receive the vaccine. Since most of the other known side effects have occurred in children less than six months of age, vaccine is not administered to this age group. The vaccine should only be given to pregnant women during vaccination campaigns in the midst of an epidemic.

Q: Launching iOS BLE Central application on iPhone reboot I am planning to develop an iOS application using CoreBluetooth framework which monitors  a pedometer peripheral continuously and counts the footsteps.
I know that if backgroud execution mode is set to BLE Central, the application will continue to receive BLE events even in the background.
Apple documentation states that in case the app gets terminated due to low memory, the system can keep track of BLE events for a particular Central Manager if state preservation and restoration is adopted.
Assume I have an iOS application that operates in Central mode. The app is subscribed to receive notification from a Pedometer when ever the footstep characteristic changes.
I have adopted the following in my app.

*

*BLE Central background mode

*BLE State preservation/restoration for Central Manager

I start my app, Scan, Pair and Connect to the pedometer and the app starts receiving footsteps.
My Questions:

*

*Now if the iPhone reboots, Will I continue to receive BLE events so that my app will be launched in the background without the user having to manually launch the application again and connect to the pedometer?

*If the app is terminated by the user explicitly using the multitasking gesture, Will the app be able to receive BLE events without the user having to manually launch the application again and connect to the pedometer?

*Is there a way to  launch my application on iOS boot up?

A:

*

*Now if the iPhone reboots, Will I continue to receive BLE events so that my app will be launched in the background without the user having to manually launch the application again and connect to the pedometer?

Your app won't receive BLE events because all apps are started in the terminated state after a reboot (despite remaining in the app switcher). The user will have to manually launch your app at least once after reboot in order for it to use BLE.

*If the app is terminated by the user explicitly using the multitasking gesture, Will the app be able to receive BLE events without the user having to manually launch the application again and connect to the pedometer?

Same as above, the app has entered the terminated state, so it won't be able to communicate using BLE until it is explicitly launched again.

*Is there a way to launch my application on iOS boot up?

iOS doesn't provide any way to launch your application on boot.
The one exception to all of this that I can find is iBeacons. If your app registers to receive updates for a specific iBeacon, iOS will launch your app when it finds it (even after a reboot or if the user explicitly kills it from the switcher). When you get the iBeacon callback you can start all your BLE logic and it will then run in the background per usual. Of course this means you need to advertise as an iBeacon on your pedometer, which may or may not be feasible.
Bear in mind the detection of the iBeacon is pretty finicky, especially after a reboot. You have little guarantee as to how fast or even if you will be delivered the iBeacon callback to start your app. But it's something.

Tokyo commemorates 70th anniversary of deadly bombing executed by US
Japan held this Tuesday the 70th anniversary of the bombing of the city by the United States during World War II.
This attack caused 105.400 dead and was held in the morning from 9 to March 10, 1945, where some 300 American B-52s unloaded 1,700 tons of incendiary bombs on the east of the capital, destroying an area of 41 square kilometers.
More than 200 Japanese cities were bombed in the last months of World War II until Japan signed its surrender on August 15, 1945, days after the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe bowed at the annual memorial held in a cemetery in the capital where remains the rest of many of the deceased.
"The lesson of the atrocities of war rooted deep in our hearts we must humbly face the past and do everything possible to contribute to world peace," Abe said.

Dreams by Langston Hughes
Download Dreams Study Guide
Summary and Analysis
This Page Only
Entire Study Guide
"Dreams," by the African-American poet Langston Hughes (1902-1967), is typical of Hughes's poetry in the lucidity and simplicity of its style and in the clarity and directness of its meaning. The fact that the poem is so short is appropriate to its subject matter: as the very first line implies, dreams are often brief and difficult to retain. The "dreams" mentioned in that line, however, seem not so much to be those that come to us normally at night, when we are unconscious. Rather, the "dreams" that are the main subject of this poem are the hopes, ideals, and goals that can give daily life its meaning and purpose.
The poem opens by directly addressing its readers, offering them clear and explicit advice. The very first word is a verb, counseling appropriate action. The opening line is somewhat paradoxical, since the verb "hold" implies a tight grip, while the noun "dreams" implies something abstract, elusive, and evanescent. In the very opening line, then, the speaker already implies that holding fast to dreams may be difficult but is nonetheless important.
If line 1 opens the poem with a strong, immediate assertion, line 2 begins to explain the logic behind that advice—logic signaled by the simple word "For." The importance of "dreams" is suggested by the repetition of the key word twice in the first two lines. The brevity of the poem's lines (most of them consisting of merely four syllables each) contributes to the rhetorical impact and effectiveness of the work. The speaker presents no long, complicated phrasing; instead, everything about the poem is brief and emphatic. The poem is short not only in the number of its lines (eight altogether) but also in the number of syllables in most of those eight lines. It is as if the speaker wants to waste no words. He wants to offer his advice, and provide his explanations, as briefly and forcefully as he can.
The comparison of a life without dreams to a "broken-winged bird" is the first use of concrete imagery in a poem so far (and mostly) consisting of abstract assertions. The image is effective because it suggests a bird that either once was able to fly but now cannot, or a bird that has never been able to fly. In either case, the idea of a "broken-winged bird" implies a bird that is robbed of its natural potential and that may even be subject to serious danger. A "broken-winged bird" is a bird that cannot see and experience all that it was born to see and experience. A "broken-winged" bird is a bird that literally cannot rise to any great heights, just as a life without dreams is crippled, stunted, and robbed of its full potential. This image, like everything else in this poem, is clear, simple, direct, and rooted in common sense.
The second half of the poem reiterates the meaning and structure of the first half. Line 5 is a direct repetition of line 1. Line 6 is very similar in phrasing and syntax to line 2. Lines 7-8 offer another image that complements and reinforces the imagery of lines 3-4. The use of such repetitions of phrasing and structure makes the poem even more emphatic than it had been already. However, Hughes was wise enough to realize that yet another such repetition might have seemed excessive and tedious, and so he stopped with merely one statement and one reiteration of it. He thus achieves the effects of both emphasis and concision.
The imagery...

I think you've missed the point here a bit. The white insert picture is the production car - images released for the Geneva show this week.
Lots of people have been saying the style has been drained out of the front since the concept, galv you're right - it needs the metalwork back!
The return of the metal improves it tremendously. It's simple. It's obvious. It's strange that VW didn't see it. Good eye. I like that in the chop the bumper still bisects the nose to avoid the gaping hole look. Now it's time to focus on the horrid rear end. See what you can come up with.
