Irvin D. Reid Honors College
The Irvin D. Reid Honors College's mission is to promote informed, engaged citizenship as the foundation for academic excellence in a diverse global setting. Honors accomplishes its mission by attracting and retaining talented students and cultivating within them not only a different way of thinking, but also a desire to make a difference in the world.
The Honors College experience is built on four pillars: community, service, research and career. The focus of the first year is community and the urban experience; during year one, students concentrate on urban issues and history. Year two involves service learning, which takes skills cultivated in the classroom and puts them to use in real-world situations. In year three, students are encouraged to work with faculty mentors to develop individual funded research projects. And in year four, students complete a senior thesis, which represents the culmination of their undergraduate work and the first step toward a postgraduate career.
The Honors College is home to Scholars Day, MedStart, Health Pro Start and BStart, the Urban Scholars/Leaders program, CommunityEngagement@Wayne, Honors Transfer, and the Detroit Urban Scholars program.
Established in 1927, the Law School became a part of the university in 1937. It is Detroit's only public law school and one of just two public law schools in Michigan. The Law School blends cutting-edge legal theory with real-world practice skills. Its graduates serve at the highest levels of law and government. Its faculty members are dedicated teachers and distinguished scholars known nationally and internationally for their contributions to legal study. Its students display a variety of backgrounds and interests. And its location — minutes away from courts, major law firms, government agencies, corporate headquarters and the nation's busiest international border — offers incomparable opportunities in employment, hands-on experience and public service.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) was formed in 2004 with the merger of the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Science. CLAS's nationally ranked departments provide the core learning experience throughout Wayne State University, most of the university's total undergraduate credit hours and nearly nearly half of the doctorates awarded by the university. In addition to offering the requisite math and science classes for the university's pre-professional undergraduates, the college also offers a strong graduate education at both the master's and doctorate levels. The college receives approximately $20 million a year in external grants and contracts.
School of Library and Information Science
The School of Library and Information Science prepares information professionals to assume leadership roles in libraries and other information organizations. By emphasizing the practical application of knowledge and skills, the school trains students in the core principles of librarianship and information studies — information access, organization, services and management — as well as emerging fields incorporating electronic media such as digital collections, competitive intelligence, information architecture and website development.
The American Library Association (ALA) first accredited the Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree in 1967. The School of Library and Information Science is ranked in the top 20 among 62 ALA-accredited programs in the United States, according to a recent U.S. News and World Report survey. The school is one of only 22 library and information science programs in the country to have a fully online MLIS program. The school has one of the largest graduate programs on campus, as well as one of the nation's largest programs in library and information science. Faculty members conduct research into issues that enhance the value of library and information services as an essential component of cultural enrichment, knowledge dissemination, economic development and the overall quality of life.

Recently Primark, a British clothing retailer, started selling a Walking Dead shirt in its stores referencing an infamous moment of Negan's. Now they no longer sell it due to complaints. Was the controversy over the fact that the shirt references a moment of extreme violence and murder? No, that was fine. What's actually going on is a cultural thing.
Most people know the second verse of this schoolyard rhyme as "Catch a tiger by the toe." There was, however, a racist variant used a long time ago that substituted the word "tiger" for something else. That version got around more in England than it did in the US, where The Walking Dead is produced. Somebody walked past the store window, had no idea what The Walking Dead was, saw the words "Eeeny Meeny Miny Moe" next to a big bat, and had a fit.
That someone was customer Ian Lucraft, who raised such an immediate stink that Primark had to pull the shirt. "It is directly threatening of a racist assault, and if I were black and were faced by a wearer I would know just where I stood," Lucraft yelled.
Of course anyone who knows about The Walking Dead is aware this is just a big misunderstanding, and not an endorsement of racism (or beating people with bats) at all. The rhyme has also appeared in plenty of other media without any complaints, including the episode the shirt is referencing. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has already spoken his mind, tweeting "Holy crap people are stupid" alongside a link to a news article.

Champions League Is Back!
Gino Alva, Impact Staff|October 26, 2020
Champions League football is back, and every soccer fan will be happy to see that the world-famous competition has returned two months after the final that was won by Bayern Munich. The season will be a unique situation since the COVID-19 pandemic paused all matches from March to May.
The 2020-21 season began on Oct. 20 with the biggest game: Paris St. Germain vs. Manchester United. Paris was the runner-up from last season's final and will try again this season to win it. Manchester United had a rocky start to the season with many losses, players not playing well, and a board of staff who were criticized for every move they made. The game ended in a 2-1 victory to Manchester United which surprised the world since their team consisted of players who were condemned by the press and fans.
Once again, David De Gea saved many balls from Paris and was considered the man of the match. Sevilla and Chelsea played at Stamford Bridge in London and the game ended in a tie after a fairly boring match.
Juventus played against Dynamo Kiev and Alvaro Morata who returned to the club after four years, scored twice, and won the team three points to advance to the knockout phase without Cristiano Ronaldo, who tested positive for COVID-19.

Many people are worried that Ronaldo will not recover in time for Barcelona to play against Juventus at home, after leaving Real Madrid two years ago. They will face each other once again. Barcelona played against Ferencváros and scored five goals, which intimidates Real Madrid fans.
Barca will play against Real Madrid in the famous El Clásico next. Liverpool played against Ajax in the Netherlands and was gifted in a goal that many people are criticizing the Ajax defender for. He looks like he shot the ball into his own goal which is making Ajax fans furious. Since I am a Real Madrid fan, of course, I watched the match against Shakhtar Donetsk which they lost 2-3.
Madrid's loss has been the worst start to the Champions League season since 2005. A goal that Madrid made at the 90-minute mark was annulled due to VAR reviewing it for an offside position. Last season's champion, Bayern Munich, faced Atletico Madrid and scored four goals. Two of them were considered the best goals of the week from Kingsley Coleman and Tolisso.

This Champions League has started great with the number of crazy goals that were scored. Each team this season is suffering, as many of their best players have tested positive with COVID-19. This year's competition was planned differently since the pandemic started, but the UEFA Federation is trying to finish the group stage matches by the end of the year. It's become stressful for some teams since it will interfere with their respective leagues and domestic cups. Players' fitness is also affected since games are played two times a week. Real Madrid played on Wednesday and their next game is on Saturday, and they have minimal time to prepare for the match.
Once again, the top two teams with the most points from each group will qualify to the Round of 16, while every third-place team will transfer over to the Europa League competition.
Like always, there are favorites in the competition, but most teams that were successful don't have great teams overall. In my opinion, the strongest teams that could potentially win this year are Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Manchester United. I feel that Real Madrid isn't as good as it was two years ago, but most of the team now is in the golden era since they won four Champions Leagues in five years.
Since the departure of Ronaldo, the coach hasn't found the solution to make this team great again, but slowly and surely the team will be building and figuring out their players' situations, by replacing or buying some new ones to bring glory back to the club. Europe's greatest competition is back and regardless of what's going on in the world, sports bring families together to see their team attempt to win a trophy and I think that's what's great about this sport. Passion.

LIPA trustees postpone wind-farm vote
The Long Island Power Authority has delayed a vote on a proposed turbine farm that would set a new high-water mark for U.S. offshore wind-energy projects.
LIPA trustees were expected to approve Wednesday the utility's plans for a 90-megawatt, 15-turbine wind farm and to award the project to offshore developer Deepwater Wind, which is planning to flip the switch on a 30-megawatt, five-turbine farm off the coast of Rhode Island later this year.
The LIPA farm, to be situated 30 miles east of Montauk Point, could produce enough electricity to power roughly 50,000 Long Island homes and, if approved soon enough, could be up and running by 2022. The plan is part of an ambitious multi-state strategy to ultimately generate 1,000 MW of electricity with environmentally friendly wind farms off the coasts of New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
But late Tuesday, LIPA trustees abruptly postponed their Wednesday meeting, citing a request by the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority to hold off until Albany releases an "offshore-wind master plan" that further defines the state's clean-energy standards.
The state is expected to unveil its wind-energy strategy within the next few weeks.
The Board of Trustees was also expected to announce Wednesday its selections of projects submitted to PSEG Long Island, which manages the regional grid for LIPA, to produce an additional 63 megawatts specifically for the Island's South Fork.
There was no official word on when those RFP selections will be announced. LIPA said in a statement that it "expects to reschedule the meeting after the release of the NYSERDA off-shore wind blueprint."
The delay takes some wind out of the sails of a project that was breezing toward history. Last week, LIPA CEO Thomas Falcone told the Associated Press the directors would approve the offshore wind plan – which would be the largest ever built in U.S. coastal waters – and name Deepwater Wind its contractor of choice.
The plan has also been endorsed by environmentalists and by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who's set an ambitious goal of supplying 50 percent of New York's electricity through renewable sources by 2030. Prior to the trustees' postponement, Cuomo urged the LIPA board to approve the offshore plan, noting its environmental and economic advantages.
"Investing in New York's clean-energy economy strengths our communities by providing access to clean, affordable power and good-quality green jobs," Cuomo said. "This marks another opportunity for this state to lead the nation in creating a stronger, more resilient energy system and protecting the environment for future generations."
Heather Leibowitz, director of citizen-based advocacy group Environment New York, called LIPA's approval "key" to meeting Cuomo's 2030 goals and "to putting the Empire State on a path toward an economy powered entirely by renewable energy."
"Offshore wind needs to be a significant part of the energy mix," Leibowitz said in a statement. "The 90 megawatts of energy produced off east Montauk will get us one step closer to this goal.
"Constructing the nation's largest offshore wind-energy project is momentous and puts New York right where it should be – at the front of the pack."
This is the second time the LIPA Board of Trustees has delayed a vote on the utility's proposed offshore wind farm, which was originally on the agenda of board's June 20 meeting.
Prior wind-farm proposals have fallen short of LIPA's high-water ambitions, including a previous pitch by Deepwater Wind. Citing estimated construction and operational costs of close to $1.5 billion, LIPA trustees in 2014 rejected a Deepwater Wind proposal to construct 35 turbines 30 miles east of Montauk and 16 miles southwest of Martha's Vineyard – a plan that, according to Deepwater, could have powered 150,000 Long Island homes.

Q: For which groups does existence of a subgroup of prime index $p$ implies the existence of a subgroup order $p$? Subgroups and quotient groups are very different things, but when $G$ is finite and has a quotient group $Q$ of order $p$ with $p$ prime we know from Cauchy's theorem (or the stronger, more famous version by Sylow) that $G$ also has a subgroup $H$ of order $p$. (Here I have no pretensions as to elements of $H$ being representatives of elements of $Q$ although results in that direction would be nice too)
My question is: is there a more general class of groups than just finite groups for which this implication (subgroup of index $p$ implies subgroup of order $p$) holds?
The example of $\mathbb{Z}$, the infinite cyclic group shows that this property is not automatic, but still I am cautiously optimistic about compact topological groups. And what is known about reductive algebraic groups?

A: The $p$-adic integers are a torsion-free compact topological group with a quotient of order $p$.

Eyes Wide Open DVD
Review by Julie Knispel
Following two plus years as a "double trio," and nearly two years of fractionalization through a series of ProjeKCts, King Crimson returned to active duty in 2000 as a streamlined quartet with the album The ConstruKCtion of Light. A second album in this newer "double duo" format titled The Power to Believe,Eyes Wide Open followed in 2003. A number of concerts were filmed with the band intending a series of live releases in both audio and video formats (a version of this release scheme can now be seen with the advent of Discipline Global Mobile's series of official concert downloads). While this initial plan did not come to pass, some of the fruits of their labours can be seen in the band's recent DVD release, .
Eyes Wide Open is a double DVD set documenting the band's 2000 and 2003 touring cycles. DVD 1 was primarily filmed at the Kouseinenkin Kaikan in Tokyo Japan on 16 April 2003, while the second was filmed during the tour for The ConstruKCtion of Light on 3 July 2000 at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London. Both DVDs are professionally shot, although the second (originally a production of the band's nascent Bootleg TV project) offers a slightly more rough and ready presentation of their stripped down staging and performance.
Which DVD gets the most play will depend fully on which touring cycle the viewer prefers. In 2003, the band was moving toward a very basic, "nuovo metal" sound, with their newest material being among the heaviest in King Crimson's lengthy back catalogue. A number of pieces hearkened back to past recorded efforts, with tracks like "Dangerous Curves" exhibiting some of the same tension through repetition concepts as in the band's arrangement of Holst's "Mars: The Bringer of War," as released on Crimson's 1970 release In The Wake of Poseidon. It's possible that Crimson's touring with Tool in 2001 influenced some of their rediscovered heaviness, and the concert filmed in Tokyo for the first DVD in this set shows the band at the top of their form.
The video is presented in letterboxed wide screen, with a multitude of camera angles and some occasionally inspired editing. Cuts from shot to shot are somewhat minimized when compared to long-form videos from other bands; the performance does not suffer from "MTV-itis" and an editor with severe A.D.D. Staging is somewhat minimal, although the band has never been one for expansive stage sets and theatrics (having said that, a few inflatables are used to good effect to create a sort of horned arch behind the band). The concert opens with an extended solo soundscape set from Robert Fripp before the band mounts the stage for an electrifying 100-minute set. The setlist proves that King Crimson is not a band that rests on past successes, as no song is more than 7 years old (at the time of performance). Highlights include a fiery "Level Five," the surprisingly blues-based "Facts of Life" and "ProzaKC Blues," and an expansive and wonderfully improvisatory take on the band's most recent signature piece "The Deception of the Thrush." In addition to the main program, this DVD also features several cuts of soundcheck footage from the rehearsals prior to the show.
The second disc sequentially in the set features the older footage, filmed in London on the band's 2000 tour. Visually the concert video is grainier and darker, lending a rougher, more bootleg feel to the performance. The set list here is somewhat more wide ranging, with the band including some material from 1984's Three of a Perfect Pair, as well as an interesting cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" as an encore piece. Of interest is "Cage," only released as part of King Crimson's VROOOM EP in 1994, and an acoustic rendition of Three of a Perfect Pair's title track. This DVD includes an interesting authoring feature in that every playback is unique; the band filmed additional concerts throughout the 2000 tour, and improvisations from various shows are included and are randomly accessed each time the DVD is loaded for play. This feature adds replay value and makes each viewing unique. Unfortunately, there are slight delays in the performance as the random section is accessed, but these do not detract overly from the overall presentation.
Eyes Wide Open is unique in that it offers the viewer a great overview of an entire phase in King Crimson's career, evolving from a looser, yet more electronic band to a group that simultaneously explored a wider tonal range while remaining more repertoire driven. As such, it is essential viewing, not only for fans of the band, but for progressive music fans in general, as it showcases a classic band continuing to break new ground and expand their boundaries in ways that many bands are simply not capable.

Q: Which super hero costume is this red and black t-shirt based on? I came across this shirt on a webstore, it's supposed to be a superhero but I don't know who it belongs to.

Thanks!

A: Probably Nightwing (New 52)
Here are some t-shirt concepts that show a rather similar logo:

We can see that the New 52 version of the Nightwing logo is almost a perfect match.

Saddling Up for Creative Arts Festival
Frank Kaiser's path to making award-winning saddles began with horseback riding as a child (photo by Benjamin Slane).
By Jim Hoehn
Although raised in Wisconsin, Frank Kaiser is bringing a touch of the Old West to the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival.
Kaiser, who served eight years in the U.S. Air Force before his military career was curtailed due to injury, qualified for the national festival by winning the local competition at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center with a custom-made leather saddle.
The 2018 National Veterans Creative Arts Festival, which includes categories for art, creative writing, dance, drama and music, takes place Oct. 29 to Nov. 4 in Des Moines, Iowa.
"With the National Veterans Creative Arts competition and festival, it really is for some Veterans, maybe the first opportunity to experience art making, to show their work," said Marisa Straub, an art therapist at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center. "They get a deep sense of pride and self-satisfaction, self-esteem by being able to create something and enter it and have other people appreciate and enjoy it."
Kaiser's path to making award-winning saddles began with horseback riding as a child and the do-it-yourself necessity of repairs. After leaving the military, he reconnected with leather working, combining the passion and therapeutic benefits into a mail-order and online business called Rocking K Saddlery.
"I started out riding when I was 4," Kaiser said. "I started riding way, way back then. A family friend of ours raised bucking stock for the rodeos. They broke horses, so I was raised around them. It just kind of took from there.
"Back then, there wasn't a lot of money in the family, so you were repairing your own gear," he said. "Just like they did in the 1800s, it was pretty much repair your own because you couldn't afford to take it in."
Frank Kaiser has become a student of leather work associated with the Old West, especially items used in Western films (photo by Benjamin Slane).
Kaiser had hoped to transition to a career in law enforcement, either while in the military or afterward, but hurt his back in a serious fall, along with other injuries.
After leaving the military, Kaiser took a saddle-making course in South Dakota, but the economic timing couldn't have been worse.
"It was right when the economy tanked, so it wasn't saddles per se because nobody wanted to pay $5,000 for a custom saddle in 2008," said Kaiser, who works five or six days a week to fulfill customer orders. "So, I started off buying books. Most of it was holsters and belts, knife sheaths and wallets -- the lower-dollar stuff. I just started reading, picking up knowledge, figuring out how to draw all of my own patterns."

From the start, Kaiser said he invested 85 to 90 cents of every sales dollar into new tools, new patterns, and "upgrading everything that I possibly could."
Much of his work still is holsters and gun belts, although he gets orders for a wide range of other leather products. Kaiser already is creating a pommel bag for next year's creative arts competition, but he laughs when asked about his art background.
"I was absolutely terrible," he said. "My art teacher from school is still out there and he would tell you, 'That kid had no hope.'"
But, Kaiser has become a student of leather work associated with the Old West, especially items used in Western films. Kaiser has several friends who create historical replicas for movies. He also learned from a well-known craftsman who did leather restoration for museums.
As such, one of Kaiser's most-requested items is a replica of the traditional John Wayne gun belt used in his movies.
"John Wayne's rig that he wore, which was his signature rig, nobody really knows for sure who made it," Kaiser said. "But he had dozens of them made over the years, and they were all just a little bit different, because he gave them away to friends and others. I studied his rig at the Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma City … I've sold 50 or 60 of that style holster and belt."
Frank Kaiser won the local competition at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center with a custom-made leather saddle.
Kaiser orders his leather from one of the few remaining U.S. companies that still produces vegetable-tanned leather. He's also starting to make his own dyes, including one made from walnuts.
Working in his own shop at his own pace allows him to better manage his back pain. He prefers to work late at night.
"I can make my own time, make my own hours," he said. "When I need to sit, I can sit. When I need to stand, I can stand. If I need to lay down, I can lay down."
"Really, my favorite time to work is from about 11 o'clock at night until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. It's quiet. I don't have the phone ringing, I don't have to answer emails."
Kaiser, whose work has been featured in about two dozen publications, got involved with the Creative Arts Festival through other Veterans. He traded a hand-made belt for a metal sign made by an Iraq Veteran, who had entered his metal engraving in the arts festival. Kaiser also was wearing a belt buckle made by another festival entrant.
Kaiser also offers a discount to Veterans. On his work bench was a holster bearing jump wings, and another recently completed holster for a Vietnam Veteran.
Much of his business stems from repeat customers, in which Kaiser takes a great deal of pride.
"I just sent out an order yesterday that was his fourth order from me in the last year," he said.
"There's nothing like it in the world. I'm in awe every time I hear from somebody. I still can't grasp the concept. But, it's really cool."
Kaiser would eventually like to move to the Southwest, where the climate would be better for his back, and open a walk-in shop.
"I'm really actually looking to relocate out of state to Arizona. Having a walk-in shop where people can come in. Believe it or not, repairs generate more money than making custom items."

TRUST. adopts market-leading artificial intelligence platform from Luminance
7 November 2017 | Press Release
Finnish law firm TRUST. has taken the lead among Finland's legal profession by deploying Luminance's cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology to streamline due diligence processes for its M&A transactions.
TRUST. was keen to incorporate Luminance into its M&A department as soon as possible, in order to benefit from the technology's ability to understand and analyse large volumes of contracts and other documents in any language. Deployment into the boutique law firm will allow TRUST. to maintain its leadership among peers.
"At TRUST. we are always looking to integrate the latest, most innovative technologies into our systems," said Jan Lindberg, Partner at TRUST. Mika Lehtimäki, Partner, added that "Luminance's technology is forward-thinking and effective. It allows us to focus more of our time and efforts into our client relations and make sure we provide our services in the most efficient way. The technology is invaluable to us and has certainly transformed our M&A department and financing transactions."
Luminance is a new class of artificial intelligence technology transforming the approach to legal contract review. Founded as a result of close collaboration between University of Cambridge mathematicians and legal experts, Luminance harnesses breakthroughs in machine learning and probabilistic mathematics to vastly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of due diligence.
After sorting, clustering and filtering the contents of a data room, the technology can detect subtle but potentially significant differences between contracts. These key issues are highlighted at the earliest possible stage of a transaction via Luminance's intuitive interface, allowing TRUST. to provide its clients with a detailed understanding and, therefore, a better negotiating position at the outset.
"We are excited to be working with pioneering firms like TRUST., which embrace new technologies and have the vision of using artificial intelligence to augment their work," said Emily Foges, CEO of Luminance. "As a leader in the Scandinavian legal market, TRUST. is a forerunner in demonstrating the value of Luminance in the region."
Luminance launched in September 2016 and has customers in 15 countries, having completed more than 150 transactions to date. The company was recently awarded 'Best AI Product in Legal' at the AI Innovation Annual Awards.

Melbourne Airport has broken its year-on-year results by welcoming 34 million passengers between August 2015 and July 2016.
It is the first time Melbourne Airport has reached 34 million passengers in a 12-month period, with the additional one million passengers visiting in the last seven months.
In July 2016, total international passengers grew by 12.4% compared with the same time last year, reaching 870,715.
Southeast Asia again led Melbourne Airport's growth in July with passenger increases from all markets in the region led by Singapore (+41.6%), India (+25.2%), Indonesia (+18.6%) and Malaysia (+18.4%).
China continued strong growth (+20.2%), driven by an increase in capacity, which included the start of Xiamen Air's twice-weekly service on July 1, 2016.
Lyell Strambi, chief executive, Melbourne Airport, said, "We are thrilled to have broken our record for passenger numbers in a 12 month period, with 34 million travelers passing through our front doors. This is not only a fantastic 'first' for our airport, but a great result for the state of Victoria.

Thanks Neil but looking for sonething a bit cheaper, it's only for my Dad's bike which i suspect will get very little use.


This is attempt number three at this post. The first two attempts were sidelined by a two year old who is now napping. I have pizza dough rising for dinner and Amish Friendship Bread in the oven. (I've never tried Amish Friendship Bread, but I'm thinking it will be the subject of a future post) So today's subject is a gift idea that promises to pamper tired feet.
As a sidebar, I'll quickly try to explain my knowledge of gift baskets. When I was fourteen, almost twenty years ago (holy moly I am getting old), I wanted to go on a trip with Spanish Club to Mexico. My parents agreed to help with the funding if I came up with a percentage myself. I started doing crafts and selling them at church and school shows. From there I transitioned to making gourmet food baskets. As the years went on I came up with hundreds of ideas for baskets, and my little business was born.
Over the past couple of decades I have literally done thousands of gift baskets. They are really quite simple and in future posts I will explain specifics. For today I just want to put the idea out there of pedicure gift ideas. I have done many many "pamper yourself" baskets, but the idea of a pedicure one specifically was brought back to mind almost a year ago. I was enjoying a pedicure at a spa in Buffalo with my dear friend, and we started brainstorming gift ideas for our families. I thought a gift certificate for a pedicure was great, but then wondered if I would get it for the right place. So why not a pedicure basket???
The basket that is featured today has spa slippers, a pumice stone kit, soothing foot gels, a scrub & lotion, and nail polish. I also included a gourmet chocolate bar and cookies. The "basket" itself is a basin that the recipient can fill with warm sudsy water and enjoy a soak. The basket is then wrapped in cellophane and tied with ribbons.
Okay, here's the "tricks of the trade" to making a nice pedicure/spa basket. First the "basket" does not have to be a basket. For today I used a basin, aka dish tub (Walmart has them in various colors), that serves dual purpose as basket and foot soaker. Secondly, use nice products. Dont' get me wrong, I love the dollar stores for things like cards, wraps, shred, but when it comes to personal care products go for the nicer ones. (I shop throughout the year when things are on sale and put them in a gift tote.) Then to fill in space you can always put in a few food items. For this one, I specifically chose treats that could be enjoyed while soaking. Finally, add a personal touch. I happen to know the recipient of this basket and found out her shoe size, so I was able to order spa slippers. This makes it more personal and not so generic.
This idea can be scaled down or super-sized to fit any budget. If you need a gift for under twenty, try a nail polish and nice foot scrub, nestled in a latte mug with their favorite coffee. For those who want to really impress, instead of the more frugal basin, give a foot spa. Homemedics makes a nice one for around $30. Also look into Philosophy, they have wonderful body scrubs and foot creams.

Behind the Scenes at the Royal Palaces: Meet Lord Onslow
by University of Reading on 19 Jul 2018
Ahead of the course A History of Royal Food and Feasting, from the University of Reading and Historic Royal Palaces, the team from Reading interviewed the historical interpreter who plays the part of Lord Onslow.
Bringing history to life on screen isn't always easy, especially with something as visceral as food and feasting. To help people experience dining at court in way that's truly vivid we used 'historical interpreters' who appear in a cameo role each week. So, what does it take to transform into a historic figure? We thought we'd ask Past Pleasures interpreter TJ Holmes, who played the part of Lord Onslow, a great favourite in the court of King George I, who had a reputation for being a good drinker and a lover of chocolate, a popular food in the Georgian period that was associated with power and kingship (get a sneak peak of Lord Onslow with his personal account of life at Georgian Court).
Reading Open Online Courses (OOC) team: TJ, can you tell us how you became involved in Past Pleasures?
TJ: I applied to join PP's team of interpreters at a period when the company were seeking new recruits for the reopening of Dover Castle. Henry II's Great Tower there had just been given a superb medieval makeover, so I arrived at an exciting time.
OOC team: We made A History of Royal Food and Feasting to bring the changing tastes of successive generations of royalty and the splendour of their palaces to a broader audience and the learners who have taken previous runs of the course commented that Lord Onslow 'brings history alive'. Why do you think historical interpretation is such an effective way to share history?
TJ: Thank you, learners! It's easy to think of history as the stuff of dusty old books, and books are of course key to its exploration. In trying to breathe life back into it, though, historical interpretation strives to give audiences a more vital and sensory understanding of the past. And, for those who visit sites and experience live historical interpretation, it is wonderfully immersive and interactive too.
OOC team: What's it like filming in costume in the places where history happened, such as Hampton Court Palace? How did this add to your performance?
TJ: It's a treat and a privilege. Past Pleasures pride themselves on the historical accuracy of their costumes, and wearing them at a site like Hampton court, which is so richly steeped in history, does make you feel as if you've stepped back in time. It certainly elevates your performance! And the clothing and location are, of course, prime resources for interpretation.
OOC team: What other historical figures do you play?
TJ: I have played a rebek-wielding troubadour, a dung-spattered medieval zoo-keeper, an assortment of mail-suited knights, a highwayman, a counterfeiter, Isaac Newton, Samuel Pepys, the ever-popular Judge Jeffreys and many more. Variety certainly is the spice of life!
OOC team: Can you describe Lord Onslow to us in a sentence?
TJ: A courtier and bon viveur who likes to think of himself as a bit of a raconteur.
OOC team: How did you prepare for the Lord Onslow piece?
TJ: I was provided with a resource pack by Past Pleasures which I duly gobbled up and supplemented with some further reading. I then tried to find the most palatable way of getting the most important and interesting parts of my research across. This meant trying to find a through-line so that ideas followed one another in a fluid and conversational manner. It's also helpful to stay open to what happens in the moment, though, and to benefit from the director's guidance.
OOC team: Your performance of Lord Onslow is very charismatic and amusing – what was the thought process behind this portrayal?
TJ: Thank you kindly! His status within the court naturally informed the heightened level of etiquette and his cut-glass accent, and, whilst it's hard to say precisely how our forebears would have sounded, there are period writings that provide excellent insights on matters of etiquette. Then we always try to inject some humour into proceedings to give the ball of learning a bit of extra bounce; the unofficial Past Pleasures motto is from William Schwenck Gilbert (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame): "I can trick you into learning with a laugh".
OOC team: You wear a magnificent wig in the video. How heavy was it? What is your favourite part of the costume?
TJ: Wigs can be quite heavy and hot, but hasn't it always been the way that you must suffer for your style! I love the clothing of this period, especially the waisted coats which, like the stockings and britches, are tailored to fit the male form. It's a refreshing change from today's fashion for men which often favours concealing the figure.
OOC team: And finally, do you like chocolate as much as Lord Onslow?
TJ: I'd challenge him to a chocolate-swilling duel any day!

Q: tensorflow conditional on axis I am attempting to gather the indices of specific tensors/(vectors/matrices) within a tensor in keras.  Therefore, I attempted to use tf.gather with tf.where to get the indices to use in the gather function.
However, tf.where provides element wise indices for the matching values when testing for equality.  I would like to have the ability to find the indices (rows) for tensors (vectors) which are equal to another.
This is especially useful for finding the one-hot vectors within a tensor which match a set of one-hot vectors of interest.

from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelBinarizer
sess = tf.Session()

# one-hot vector encoding labels
l = LabelBinarizer()
l.fit(['a','b','c'])

# input tensor
t = tf.constant(l.transform(['a','a','c','b', 'a']))

# find the indices where 'c' is label
# ***THIS WORKS***
np.all(t.eval(session = sess) == l.transform(['c']), axis = 1)

# We need to do everything in tensorflow and then wrap in Lambda layer for keras so...
from keras import backend as K
# ***THIS DOES NOT WORK***
K.all(t.eval(session = sess) == l.transform(['c']), axis = 1)

# go on from here to get smaller subset of vectors from another tensor with the indicies given by `tf.gather`

Clearly the code above shows I have tried to get this conditional by axis to work, and it does fine in numpy, but the tensorflow version is not as easily ported from numpy.
Is there a better way to do this?

A: Similarly to what you do, we can use tf.reduce_all which is the tensorflow equivalent of np.all:
tf.reduce_all(t.eval(session = sess) == l.transform(['c']), axis = 1)


In the wake of last month's AFC and NFC Championship games which saw the New England Patriots win a spot in their second consecutive Super Bowl (and third in four years) after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Philadelphia Eagles triumphant over the Minnesota Vikings — the Twitterverse was not divided over who it was rooting for.
Super Bowl LII airs live on NBC on Feb. 4 at 6:30 p.m. ET from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Emrie Tomaiko-Clark
Inspired by her mentor, first-year student could no longer resist the call to medicine
The White Coat Ceremony marks the first time a medical student will don his or her white coat, the defining symbol of a physician. The coat bestows a great honor on each student, and with it comes a responsibility to uphold the trust of every patient they will encounter. The Class of 2026 will receive their white coats on July 15 during a ceremony that begins at 3:30 p.m. at Symphony Hall in downtown Phoenix.
Emrie Tomaiko-Clark during her time studying abroad in China
Meet Emrie Tomaiko-Clark
Born and raised in the Phoenix area, Emrie Tomaiko-Clark graduated from high school in 2010 and then headed to the University of Evansville in Indiana to major in music therapy and psychology.
It was while taking a gen-ed class that she found anthropology and decided to change her major and transfer home to Arizona State University (the University of Evansville did not have an anthropology major).
Studying at ASU, Tomaiko-Clark took a Chinese class with a friend and fell in love with the language — later opting to switch her second major to it, instead of psychology. That fateful decision would subtly influence her journey to medical school.
Path toward Medicine
What was the spark that led you to become a physician?
While studying abroad in China, I explored a few career options — none of them medicine. After graduation in 2015, I was working on becoming a diplomat with the State Department's Foreign Service, but I didn't pass the employment exam. I found a job as a medical scribe, which I thought would help me interact with many kinds of people, so I could use that experience as a diplomat. This is when I met Wilber Su, MD, the electrophysiologist who would eventually become my mentor.
He encouraged me to pursue medicine, but I was concerned I was too old, and it would take "too long" to become a doctor. But being in the clinic and working with patients kept drawing me in. One day, I watched a pacemaker generator procedure. Dr. Su reached into the patient's chest, and I knew I couldn't deny the call to medicine anymore.
The College of Medicine – Phoenix
Tomaiko-Clark working as a Summer Scrubs counselor
Why did you choose the College of Medicine – Phoenix?
Since 2017, I've been working to get into medical school. I chose the College of Medicine – Phoenix because I worked for those five years at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix. I met the amazing students and faculty with the school. I also appreciated how the college offers a flexible experience designed to best meet the needs and encourage the curiosity and interests of their individual students.
What excites you most about beginning medical school?
I'm finally going to medical school, and I'm so excited to start learning even a little of what my mentor, Dr. Wilber Su, knows.
Significance of the White Coat
What does the white coat mean to you?
When I put on that white coat it will be the culmination of all my hard work, but it also represents a new stage in my life and the incredible responsibility I will have as a physician.
Founded in 2007, the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix inspires and trains exemplary physicians, scientists and leaders to optimize health and health care in Arizona and beyond. By cultivating collaborative research locally and globally, the college accelerates discovery in a number of critical areas — including cancer, stroke, traumatic brain injury and cardiovascular disease. Championed as a student-centric campus, the college has graduated 669 physicians, all of whom received exceptional training from nine clinical partners and more than 2,600 diverse faculty members. As the anchor to the Phoenix Bioscience Core, which is projected to have an economic impact of $3.1 billion by 2025, the college prides itself on engaging with the community, fostering education, inclusion, access and advocacy.

Cathay: Ezra Pound's re-imagination of Chinese Poetry by Kerry Brown
December 5, 2015 ~ flyagaric23
Cathay: Ezra Pound's re-imagination of Chinese Poetry
This slim volume, born from an accidental discovery, set the tone for modern translations of Chinese poetry into English
By Kerry Brown
This year marks the hundredth anniversary of the first publication of Ezra Pound's slender volume of oriental poems, Cathay. While the collection does not have the fame of his epic lifelong work, Cantos, it ranks highly among modern fusion poetry that blends in two different literary traditions.
Pound never claimed to be fluent in Chinese, writes Ira Nadel in his introduction, although in the last decades of his life he did study Confucius's Analects with a dictionary by his side. He used Chinese characters in his work, but Pound's view from early on was that Chinese ideograms or characters, and the culture they represented, had primarily an aesthetic appeal.
The translations, which he based his own works on, came from the work of Ernest Fenollosa, an early Orientalist who mostly used Japanese renditions of classical Chinese works. Cathay is, therefore, a double mediation—a work based on another body of work which itself was derivative — rather than directly linked to the source material.
Pound was criticized for this remoteness once Cathay was published. But in the intervening hundred years, the consensus remains that he did manage to capture something of the spirit and deeper meaning of the Chinese texts.
Pound made a major contribution to the modern western concept of "the Orient", a place of otherness, with a different tempo and emotional register to European or American cultures. He described the dominant feelings of being lost and the sense of solitude within his imagined Orient. "The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter" is the most celebrated of this genre, with its tale of "two small people, without dislike or suspicion" who marry at 14, get separated at 16, with the wife waiting for her husband to one day return.
Exile and absence marks many of the other poems, reinforcing this sense that Chinese poetry is about delicate understatement and restraint, expressed through metaphors concerning the landscape, vegetation, or water.
Pound's imagination and work dealt with a larger "orient" rather than a specific place called China. The ways in which he treated this idea of what is oriental typifies other writers or thinkers from Europe or North America, whose cultures are distinct from that in Japan, China, or across East Asia.
Pound makes certain assumptions. In the Cantos, he described the whole dynastic history of China. Historians would now despair at his idea of such neat divisions between order and chaos. But when we remember that he is writing not so much about what China or the Orient as an actual place might be, but how western imagination configured it and responded to ideas about it this question of how accurate Pound's translations are becomes unimportant. What makes his poetry important not only in and for itself, but because its role in this history of western conceptualization of the Orient, and of China.
The book is also a reminder that Pound was a skilled lyricist. His later political adventures, which almost led to a conviction for treason during World War II for producing propaganda for the Fascist government of Italy, have tended to overshadow awareness of his immense technical skills. The Cathay poems show the intensity, the concreteness and the music that Pound at his best was able to create. Cathay contains hybrid material—most of it related to Fenollosa's renditions of Japanese-Chinese texts, but he also put in his celebrated translation from the Old English, The Seafarer. There is nothing discordant about this. In fact, it stimulates thoughts on how similar the worlds from these two eras—ancient imperial China and the dark ages of Europe—might be. Both describe loss, vulnerabilities, and the creation of beliefs.
Pound is perhaps one of the very few creative figures that succeeded in bridging two very different cultural worlds. Cathay stands as a testament to that.

Carjackers punch 73-year-old man driving to work in Calumet Heights
By Sun-Times Media Wire
Auto thefts on the rise nationwide after years of decline
David Glawe from the National Insurance Crime Bureau explains the uptick of carjackings across the nation and takes a deeper look at the statistics.
CHICAGO - A group of carjackers pulled a 73-year-old man from his car early Tuesday in Calumet Heights and punched him in the face.
Five males exited a white Hyundai that stopped in front of the man as he drove to work in the 2600 block of East 91st Street, Chicago police said in a media notification.
One of them pulled the 73-year-old from his red Mitsubishi about 2 a.m. and punched him, police said.
The group jumped in the man's car and the Hyundai they arrived in, and drove off, police said.
The 73-year-old refused medical attention. No arrest has been made.
Last week, police Supt. David Brown outlined a plan to address the rise in carjackings, which have more than doubled in the past year.

Water management is conflict management. From the Aral Sea to the Zambezi river, water disputes are a priority at local, regional, national, and international levels. Worldwide, water demands are growing, groundwater levels are dropping, water bodies are increasingly contaminated, and delivery and treatment infrastructure is aging. The potential for conflict and the need for cooperation between watershed stakeholders will increase as problems become more acute. The global university community, with its inherent mission of teaching, research, and service, has much to offer in addressing the challenges of preventing and resolving transboundary water disputes.
The Universities Partnership for Water Cooperation and Diplomacy is a consortium of academic expertise in fields related to water resources conflict prevention and resolution, including research institutions on five continents. The coordination is shared by the Geneva Water Hub (Switzerland) along with six universities including the German-Kazakh University (Kazakhstan), IHE Delft Institute for Water Education (The Netherlands), Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (India), the International Water Management Institute (Sri Lanka), Oregon State University (USA), the University for Peace (Costa Rica), and the University of Zimbabwe. Twenty universities on five continents have expressed interest in participating; a scoping meeting was held in Delft, the Netherlands in January 2018, and a formal announcement was made at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in February 2018.
As of early 2020, official partners include the Collaborative Water Resolution, Institute of Water Governance - Shandong University, IUCN Water Programmeer, RC-IRBM, Riphah International University, UCR School of Public Policy, Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers, United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment, and Health, Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, Water Security Research Centre - WSRC, University of East Anglia, University of Haifa.
The institutions involved in the Partnership comprise both policy and technical expertise within and beyond their respective regions and across academic disciplines. The local networks of each partner institution extend the reach of the consortium to include policy makers and practitioners and thus will encourage dialog and capacity-building between North and South, East and West, and among different professional sectors.
The activities of the Partnership focus on key socioeconomic and geopolitical issues in shared water management at local, regional, national, and international levels. All activities would be explicitly linked and integrated within four coordinated focus areas:
Coordinated applied research;
Shared and unified data accumulation, analysis, and distribution;
Capacity-building training for local, regional, and international basin stakeholders, as well as for graduate students in water-related fields.
Universities offer tremendous resources in helping to build capacity for effectively and peacefully managing shared waters. By coordinating and focusing our energy and expertise, the Universities Partnership can provide a valuable resource for research, teaching, and global service in shared water dispute prevention and resolution.
The proposed workplan for the Universities Partnership for Water Cooperation and Diplomacy is available below.
On 18 December 2019, the Partnership launched its official platform at www.upwcd.org where you can access the latest news, scientific publications, events, vacancies, exchange programs on water cooperation and diplomacy, and much more. You can also share your own news and give it visibility by submitting a request at www.upwcd.org/submit-resource and join the Partnership through www.upwcd.org/who-we-are#partner-form.

Norman Morrison Isham (1864–1943) was a prominent architectural historian, author, and professor at Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). He was an ardent preservationist and a pioneer in the study of early American architecture.

Biography
Norman M. Isham was born in Hartford, Connecticut on November 12, 1864, to Dr. Henry and Frances Elizabeth (Smyth) Isham. As a child his family moved to Providence, Rhode Island. Norman Isham attended Mowry and Goff's  preparatory school and Brown University. At Brown he received a A.B. in 1886 and an A.M. in Architecture in 1890. After graduation in 1886, Isham worked for architectural firm of Stone, Carpenter and Wilson and later Martin and Hall. He also served as an architecture instructor at Brown University.

In 1899 Isham and Benjamin Wright created an architecture partnership which existed from 1912 to 1920 and 1923 to 1933. Isham chaired the architectural department at the Rhode Island School of Design starting in 1912. He was a member of the American Institute of Architects and the Royal Institute of British Architects and published several architecture texts, including "Early Rhode Island Houses" in 1895. Isham was well known for his renovations of many prominent early Rhode Island and other New England houses, particularly, stone-enders.

After Isham's wife, Elizabeth Barbour Ormsbee, died in 1917, he moved from Providence to Wickford, Rhode Island. There, he constructed a two-story, shingle-style Colonial Revival home on Boston Neck Road. Initially, it was a summer home, but he moved there permanently after the death of his wife.

Isham was a consultant on the building of the American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and was a consulting architect on the Delaware Legislative Hall, 1930–1933.

Memberships and societies
 Member of the General Society of Colonial Wars
 Elected to the Walpole Society in 1911
 Elected to the American Antiquarian Society in 1933

Historic preservation
Norman Isham is perhaps best known for his work preserving and restoring Colonial-era homes and structures in Rhode Island. He wrote extensively on the topic of Colonial architecture and furniture. His books Early Rhode Island Houses, published with Albert F. Brown in 1895, and Early Connecticut Houses, published in 1900, are classics in their field.

Some of the buildings Isham worked to preserve include:

 Bullock-Thomas House, North Kingstown, Rhode Island
Clemence-Irons House, Johnston, Rhode Island, 1691
Smith's Castle, Wickford, Rhode Island, 1678
Clement Weaver House, East Greenwich, Rhode Island, 1679
John Balch House, Beverly, Massachusetts, 1679
Eleazer Arnold House, Lincoln, Rhode Island, 1693
John Randall House, North Stonington, Connecticut, 1690
General Nathanael Greene Homestead, Coventry, Rhode Island, 1774
Gilbert Stuart birthplace, Saunderstown, Rhode Island, 1751
Hyland House, Guilford, Connecticut, 1713
 John Updike House, North Kingstown, Rhode Island
Newport Colony House, Newport, Rhode Island, 1739
Old City Hall, Newport, Rhode Island, 1762
Newport Brick Market, Newport, Rhode Island, 1762
Stephen Hopkins House, Providence, Rhode Island, 1708
Redwood Library, Newport, Rhode Island, 1747
Trinity Church (Newport, Rhode Island), 1724
University Hall, Brown University
Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House, Newport, Rhode Island, 1697
Whitehall Museum House, Middletown, Rhode Island, 1729

Death and burial
Norman Isham died on January 1, 1943. His funeral attracted many renowned architects to Wickford to pay their respects. Tragically, fellow Providence architect Harry Slocomb suffered a heart attack and died after Isham's funeral service.

Isham is buried with his wife and parents at Elm Grove Cemetery in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. He left no descendants.
