As Contas contábeis são a estrutura básica do sistema de informação contábil, nela são registradas as transações contábeis de uma entidade. As contas contábeis devem ser expressas com títulos em conformidade com os atos e fatos administrativos provocados, e figurar num plano de contas, de acordo com as suas características, similaridades ou eventos econômicos produzidos. Uma conta deve representar facilmente a operação realizada por uma entidade. No Brasil, conforme o artigo 178 da Lei 6.404/76, "no balanço patrimonial, as contas serão classificadas segundo os elementos do patrimônio que registrem, e agrupadas de modo a facilitar o conhecimento e a análise da situação financeira da companhia". Sem contas contábeis organizadas de forma cartesiana ou racional escrituradas pelo método das partidas dobradas, os sistemas de informação devem ser denominados de gerenciais ou administrativos, não contábeis.

História
Conforme registros do Paleolítico Superior, as contas, como instrumentos de registros, surgiram antes da invenção da escrita e cálculo, dada a necessidade humana de registrar e controlar seus bens de forma organizada. De forma rudimentar, o ser humano registrava seus bens, através de seixos. Em um rebanho por exemplo, era atribuído um seixo a cada animal e adicionado um seixo a medida que um animal nascia ou era adquirido e retirado a cada decréscimo do animal.  Segundo Cecherelli, tal recurso foi intuitivo e  natural.

Posteriormente, em 4.000 A.C, na Suméria, a humanidade passou a efetuar esse registro através de símbolos abstratos. Na baixa Mesopotâmia, cerca de 3.500 A.C, foram encontrados inscrições em argila onde constava um sistema informativo que seria base para surgimento do Livro diário, Livro razão e posteriormente o Balanço Patrimonial, Nas tabuletas de Lagash, 2.600 A.C, atualmente no Museu do Cincoentenário, de Bruxela, já consta apurações de resultados em "contas do Exercício".

Na obra Summa de Arithmética, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalitá do Frei Luca Pacioli, conceituou o registro dos fatos contábeis pelo método das partidas dobradas, sendo no Livro diário feitos pela expressão "POR" e "A", onde "POR" designa a conta devedora, e "A" a conta credor, como ele exemplificou: "1493, 8 de novembro, Veneza

1º Por Caixa de Numerário: A Capital Próprio, eu, Fulano de tal, etc.

Débito. 1 em dinheiro, em espécie encontrado presentemente em ouro e moedas;

Crédito. 2 prata e cobre de diversas cunhagens, como aparece na folha do Inventário em Caixa colocado, etc., no total tantos ducados de ouro e moedas ducados, tanto valendo tudo ao câmbio veneziano em base ouro, isto é, a 24 soldos grandes por ducados, e a 32 soldos pequenos em liras de ouro."  Frei Luca PacioliPacioli, também definiu como escriturar o Livro razão, onde são anotados as transações por conta contábil transportados do Livro diário.

Correntes de Pensamento
Depois de Luca Pacioli, começaram a ser desenvolvidas diversas teorias, originadas através de observações, que foram organizados em correntes de pensamento de acordo com suas semelhanças

Contismo
Também conhecida como escola francesa cujas teorias da época foram chamadas de corrente contábil do contismo. A teoria mais popular, chamada de "teoria das cinco contas", criada no século XVIII, por Edmond Degrange, dominou a contabilidade prática durante quase dois séculos, introduziu o livro diário-razão, o qual teve grande aceitação nos Estados Unidos, a ponto de ser mais conhecido como "diário americano". Ao contismo sucederia o neocontismo. As cinco contas:

 mercadorias;
 dinheiro;
 efeitos a receber;
 efeitos a pagar;
 lucros e perdas.

Personalismo
Na teoria personalista as contas são comparadas a pessoas com relação com a entidade, assim, o débito de representa uma dívida e um crédito um direito da pessoa. Logicamente, cada débito da entidade é um crédito dos agentes consignatário ou correspondentes, e vice-versa. Nessa teoria a contas se dividem em três grupos:

 Contas dos proprietários, que registram o Patrimônio Líquido, as Receitas e as Despesas.

 Contas dos agentes consignatários, que registram Bens.

 Contas dos agentes correspondentes, que registram os direitos e as obrigações.

Materialismo
Na escola materialista, as contas representam relação material com a entidade. Sendo assim, as contas patrimoniais (bens, direitos e obrigações) são chamadas de contas integrais, já as contas do Patrimônio Líquido e de resultado são conhecidas como contas diferenciais.

Patrimonialismo
Na corrente patrimonialista , as contas são separadas contas Patrimoniais (Ativo e Passivo) e contas de Resultado (Receitas e Despesas).

Classificação
Na teoria patrimonialista, suporte das normas nacionais e internacionais de contabilidade, as contas são divididas em contas patrimoniais e contas de resultado.

Contas patrimoniais
As contas patrimoniais são classificadas como Ativo, Passivo e Patrimônio Líquido. As contas ativas abrigam os bens e os direitos, já nas contas passivas são registradas as obrigações com terceiros e o capital  pertencente aos sócios e acionistas são alocados no Patrimônio Líquido.

Contas de Resultado
As contas de resultado são classificadas como Receitas e Despesas, nas Receitas são registrados as origem dos fatos contábeis modificativos aumentativos, como receita de venda mercadoria, receita de venda de servições. Nas Despesas são alocados o destino dos fatos contábeis modificativos diminutivos, como despesa de aluguel, despesa de funcionário.

Plano de Contas

As contas contábeis fazem parte do sistema de informação contábil cujo objetivo é permitir o controle do patrimônio e das informações destinada as partes interessadas da entidade. Para atender esse objetivos, é necessário de organizá-las em um Plano de Contas.  Para se possibilitar uma eficiente análise de contas divide-se as contas em analíticas e sintéticas.

As contas analíticas representam o último nível de detalhamento do plano de contas, elas recebem a escrituração por meio dos lançamentos contábeis.

Já as contas sintéticas são utilizadas para sumarizar, por soma, o saldo de diversas contas de natureza semelhante.

Débito e crédito
Nos livros contábeis, os débitos se inscrevem no lado esquerdo das contas, e os créditos, no lado direito. Pelo método das partidas dobradas, a cada operação, correspondem um ou mais débitos e um ou mais créditos, sendo que a soma dos créditos será igual à soma dos débitos correspondentes. Se uma conta possuir mais débitos que créditos, terá saldo devedor, e se possuir mais créditos que débitos, terá saldo credor.

O fato de se identificarem as origens (credores) e destinos (devedores) dos recursos faz com que os conceitos de débito e crédito sejam difíceis de se compreender à primeira vista, já que eles são erroneamente associados a diminuições e aumentos de capital, respectivamente. Ou seja: crê-se, erroneamente, que débito é sempre ruim e que crédito é sempre bom.

We're nearly one month into 2022, and the year has already packed a significant punch. From devastating natural disasters to tragedy in the wake of 2021, let's recap the most major events of 2022 thus far.
Tongatapu Underwater Volcano Triggers Overwhelming Tsunami
On Saturday, January 15, an underwater volcano in the Pacific Ocean erupted, causing a tsunami. The underwater volcano is located off the coast of the western island of Tongatapu, near American Samoa and Fiji. After the volcano eruption occurred, satellite image depicted large clouds of ash, gas and steam that reached up to 20 kilometers (12.4 mils) into the atmosphere.
A statement released by the New Zealand High Commission on Monday, January 17 illustrated the long-lasting impacts of the underwater eruption, stating that, "A thick layer of ash remains across Tongatapu." Both Australia and New Zealand have responded rapidly to aid the island, but efforts have been halted due to the continuing ash that descends from the volcano.
The volcanic eruption triggered a tsunami that devastated the island of Tongatapu. The effects of the tsunami have been fatal, with the UN confirming 4 deaths so far as of Tuesday, January 18. The tsunami sent enormous waves, forcing the people of Tonga to escape to higher ground. The tsunami ultimately cut off internet connection to the island, sending the rest of the world into a frenzy.
Another complication surrounding aid efforts for the island surrounds the COVID-19 pandemic. Tonga has withstood any outbreaks of COVID-19 during the duration of the pandemic, and want to keep it this way. All military staff from New Zealand that were sent to assist the island were fully vaccinated and able to follow all protocols determined by Tonga.
Fires Swarm New York City
In what seems to be a series of devastation for the Bronx in New York City, there has been an alarming number of fires in the area. The first damaging and lethal fire occurred on Sunday, January 9, and left 19 people dead. The major fire struck a 19-story building at 333 East 181st Street and was the deadliest the city has seen since the 1990 Happy Land Social Club fire.
The unprecedented fire resulted in 32 people hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Of the 19 victims left dead, nine were children. The source of this fire was a "malfunctioning electric space heater," NYC Major Eric Adams declared at a press conference. In the 19-story building, the fire began upon the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. The fire resulted due to complications with the heater, and the blaze consumed the bedroom it was in, and then spread to the entire apartment. The apartment's door was open, and the thick smoke spread throughout the whole building complex.
When the New York City Fire Department responded to the fire, they were faced with dense smoke and fire that devoured the hallways of the apartment complex. Individuals were found throughout stairways on each floor of the complex in cardiac arrest. Daniel Nigro, commissioner of the FDNY, said that the injuries of victims were primarily from smoke inhalation.
Devastatingly, another fire struck the Bronx only a little over a week after and three miles south of this first catastrophic fire. Tuesday, January 18, another Bronx apartment building had a fire start, leading to a partial building collapse. This fire was not as extreme as the last, but still left at least one woman dead, with two injured in stable condition.
The exact reasoning for the fire has yet to be confirmed – it was first regarded as a gas-related explosion, but Con Ed, an electric and gas service, deemed that there has been no evidence that the fire was gas-related. The FDNY searched through debris for some type of indication of a main start point for the fire, but nothing has been pinpointed.
Bystanders told News 4 that "they heard at least two explosions, followed by flames. Onlookers at first thought it was snowing, until they realized it was ash from the fire coming down instead."
Train Robberies hit Los Angeles
Shredded boxes and packages pile up in a section of the Union Pacific (UP) train tracks in downtown Los Angeles. The mounds of litter are from recent train robberies of train cargo containers. Packages from retailers like Amazon and REI have been ransacked. The robbers have stolen from nearly 90 train containers each day, estimates PC, the country's major rail freight company.
UP sent a letter to Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon highlighting the affects of the train robberies in his jurisdiction. In total, train robberies have climbed by 356% from October 2020 to October 2021. The estimated total of stolen goods amounts to $5 million from the railroad alone.
UP communicates that they have begun discussions about discontinuing traffic through Los Angeles County. The letter also states that FedEx and UPS are contemplating deflecting shipping from the area.
"We do not take this effort lightly, particularly during the supply chain crisis, as this drastic change to our operations will create significant impacts and strains throughout the local, state, and national supply chain systems," the letter to Gascon read out.
UP senior director of public affairs, Lupe Valdez, revealed that, "we are making arrests, but what our officers are seeing on the ground is that people are basically being arrested, there is no bail, they come out the next day and come back to rob our trains."
The UP company criticizes the district attorney's office in their letter for not properly punishing the criminals that are stealing from the cargo containers. The letter states, "without any judicial deterrence or consequence, it is no surprise that over the past year UP has witnessed the significant increase in criminal rail theft described above."
Tuesday, January 19, André Leon Talley passed away. Talley is a true icon in the fashion world, having been a former renowned creative director and editor for Vogue for a multitude of years. It was reported that Talley was struggling with an unknown illness, of which he lost his fight against. His remembered by colleagues and admirers worldwide.

Mariah the Scientist drops new track and video, 2 You, from her upcoming project, RY RY WORLD coming this summer.
Today, Atlanta-based R&B singer/songwriter Mariah the Scientist shares a new track and video 2 You via RCA Records. Marking her first release of 2021, the track's trippy, bouncy beat flows seamlessly with Mariah's clear, sleek vocals. The video transports you to space, displaying various scenes of galaxies and stars, while Mariah pours her feelings out through her vulnerable lyrics. "2 You" will be on her forthcoming project RY RY WORLD coming this summer, which is now available for pre-order.
RY RY WORLD is her first project release since her 2019 major label debut Master – a wry and profoundly personal collection of self-reflective ballads layered with sparse, cinematic instrumentals, which has garnered over 31 million streams worldwide and counting.

Justice for DeMarcus Walker
DeMarcus Walker. Say his name. Say his name along with the other victims of the hate crimes that fill our society. Just over a year ago, Demarcus was going about his Saturday morning shopping just like many others. On March 7, 2020, at approximately 10:25 in the morning, Walker was run down with a Chevy Impala and then brutally beaten with a baseball bat.
DeMarcus Walker suffered life-threatening injuries and, unfortunately, was not able to pull through. He passed away April 11, 2020, from tracheal narrowing and cerebral edema and hemorrhage due to complications from blunt injuries of the head, which was noted in his autopsy. His death was ruled a homicide.
Zai'quaria Walker, DeMarcus Walker's daughter, stated to NBC News Anchor Tom Powell "When it's your family it's a different kind of pain." She desperately asked "Why that day? What was going through your head to do that then and there?"
Houston Walker, DeMarcus Walker's father, commented during a news conference "I feel like it was a hate crime. It had to be. The way I understand in the paper, he was walking around Walmart with a ski mask on looking for people to beat up. That's how I feel about it."
Vaughn Lowery, President of 360 Magazine, states "Senseless violence has afflicted America throughout the weeks, and it seems that there is no end in sight. As a nation, we must unite and abandon this malevolent behavior. Once we recognize why the BIPOC and LGBTQ communities are under constant attack because they are intrinsically different, then we will begin to heal. At the end of the day, our legal system is not designed to protect them. In the case of DeMarcus Walker, justice must be served and the person who attempted to kill him must be held accountable according to the highest standards of the law. We can no longer allow malicious intent to pass unnoticed in our judicial system.".
Police arrested 21-year-old Levi Arnold, who has recently pleaded guilty but mentally ill to charges of murder and resisting law enforcement for the cold-blooded crime he committed last year outside of the Apple Glen Walmart in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Arnold will be sentenced on April 16, 2021, and is facing 51 years in prison.

Remembering Melvin Sampson
By Hannah DiPilato
Melvin Sampson was a leader throughout his life and was dedicated to fighting for the rights of indigenous people. Before his passing, he was a tribal councilman that pushed for Native American's rights.
Some of his most monumental efforts include helping to establish the Indian National Finals Rodeo, assisting in the improvement of health care for Native Americans across the nation, advocating for the construction of the Yakama Nation Indian Health Services clinic west of Toppenish and pushing to improve fish restoration in the Yakima and Columbia basins.
Sampson passed in his home on December 11 at 82-years-old and left behind his wife, Betty Jean and his four daughters. He will be remembered by his big family of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Sampson's full obituary can be found on Heggies Colonial Funeral Home's website and anyone is able to leave thoughts, prayers and condolences for Sampson's loved ones. People can also send flowers or a virtual gift and share photos and videos, a beautiful way to share remembrance amidst the pandemic.
"He's bigger than the Yakama Nation," said Yakama General Council Chairman Roger Fiander, who grew up beside Sampson. "Besides that, he was my roping partner."
Sampson's legacy of helping to gain rights for Native Americans will live on for generations. Hopefully, many more people will follow in his footsteps to preserve tribal culture.
Sampson was an advocate of better healthcare for Native Americans for 17 years while he served on the National Indian Health Board. He also helped form the Portland Area Indian Health Board, which monitors the federal administration of Indian health services in Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
In Washington D.C., Sampson was at the head of an effort to gain funding for a new Indian Health Clinic. Eventually, his efforts led to an expansion of the clinic which expanded it into a facility of over 80,000 square feet.
Sampson also wanted to improve fish rearing practices in the Yakama and Columbia basins in order to help the fish that lived there. With Sampson in charge, the Yakama Nation gained control of the Klickitat Hatchery which is found on the Klickitat river outside of Glendale. This hatchery was designed to rebuild the population of salmon by mimicking the natural habitat system that fish thrive in.
Everyone that knew Sampson believed he was a born leader. He had a diverse understanding of tribal culture and government which allowed him to make many changes in his lifetime. George Waters, a lobbyist for the tribe in Washington, D.C., said that Sampson was just a person able to operate in different worlds.
He was able to create many amazing things such as doing leatherwork and beginning a shop in his basement. Sampson can also be remembered for his forward-thinking ways that were ahead of his time.
Irving Pinkham, another childhood friend of Sampson, said that Sampson cared for everyone and always wanted to help indigenous people. "In our way, nobody is better than anyone else and that's what he believed too," Pinkham said. "He never was a person who said 'I, I did this, I did that.' He was always a person who said 'We, we did this, we did that.' "
Sampson's perseverance and ability to understand people helped him become a success in many aspects of his life. He was able to improve healthcare and the way of life for those around him and his legacy will be seen in all of the work he accomplished over his lifetime.

Naya Rivera's Sudden Death
Former "Glee" actress Naya Rivera tragically died in a selfless act to save her four year old son.
By Gabriella Scerbo
Authorities reveal that Rivera's body was found on Monday, July 13th on Lake Piru in Ventura County, California. The performer had been missing since Wednesday, July 8th.
Rivera's son, Josey, told authorities that "he looked back and saw her disappear under the surface of the water". The mother and son had been swimming, and although nothing is certain, there were many currents in the lake that particular morning.
A probable cause is that the unanchored boat started drifting, and Rivera managed to get her son on the boat, but lost energy to get herself back on the boat. No foul play or any suspicious activity was reported by local authorities. Lake Piru has had several drowning incidents in the past. Following her tragic death, many fans have made petitions to designate certain areas that are not safe for swimming, and to put up warning signs.
Rivera's ex-husband, Ryan Dorsey and the "Glee" cast were seen gathering at Lake Piru in honor of Rivera and her talents both on and off the screen. Not only was she an incredible performer, actress and entertainer who touched the heart of many with her fearless attitude and overall spunk, she was an amazing mother and person to many.
'In an emotional message, the creators of #Glee paid tribute to Naya Rivera and revealed their plan to create a college fund "for the beautiful son Naya loves most of all."' – E!News Twitter

Nodding to the golden age of Cash Money Records, Birdman & Juvenile team up to release their collaborative album J.A.G. at all digital retailers today.
Short for "Just Another Gangster," both the album title and lead single "J.A.G." take you back to the bouncy bling era of the label by reuniting legendary Co-Founder and multi-platinum rapper Birdman with Southern luminary and fellow icon Juvenile. The larger-than-life music video already surpassed 4.3 million YouTube/VEVO views, and the song impacted radio in February where it continues rising.
On the track, these two New Orleans titans lock into a lyrical back-and-forth before delivering a chanting refrain over a slick bass line and steady beat. With a whole lot of swag and style. It's as infectious and icy as anything they've ever done together, and it evokes the timeless nature of their chemistry initially honed by way of collaborations from dozens of classic releases.
"J.A.G." is stacked with bold and big bangers. "Dreams" featuring Choppa showcases more slick Southern flows over acoustic guitar and piano. Choppa brings his own fire to the track as Juvenile turns up with another hummable hook. "Broke" unfolds with street wit and charm, while a bluesy guitar lead gives way to rhyme fireworks on the nostalgic "Back Then." "From The Bottom" could serve as a mission statement for either Juvenile or Birdman as it documents the come-up to triumph in vivid detail. The album concludes on the hard-hitting and bounce-driven "One Two."
The entire project sees Birdman and Juvenile rapping with focus and fire that's always fresh. Additionally, it features production courtesy of Rich Gang in-house team.
Birdman and Juvenile recently engaged a full court press blitz that saw them appearing on multiple television and radio shows. They notably guested on The Wendy Williams Show to perform the title track and speak on the project. Additionally, Juvenile guested on The Breakfast Club, and his appearance racked up a staggering 100K views in under six hours as it approached the 400k mark now.
Be on the lookout for more big news and moves from Birdman, Juvenile, and Cash Money Records in 2019.

Finding solutions to this challenge was the topic of the 'Water for Fish: Sustainable Inland Fisheries' side event hosted by Conservation International (CI) on 28 August 2018 during Stockholm World Water Week.
Using examples from inland fisheries across Africa and Asia, speakers from CI, FAO, IWMI (a managing part of FISH), TNC, University of Hull, USGS, Wetlands International, and WWF discussed strategies to ensure the sustainability of inland fisheries; many of which involved engaging more with the broader water sector.
Occurring in rivers, deltas, floodplains, lakes and reservoirs, inland fisheries are demonstrably important in over 60 countries for reasons spanning food, employment, income and nutrition.
In 2015, inland fisheries produced over 11.5 million metric tons—12 percent of the world's capture fishery production—and employed over 16.8 million people. Inland fisheries provide the full animal dietary protein equivalent to 2 percent of the global population and are an often irreplaceable source of micronutrients.
Most of this catch from inland fisheries is highly concentrated in a subset of countries that are in Asia and Africa explained Simon Funge-Smith, Senior Fishery Officer at FAO.
"Some of the poorest countries depend heavily on inland fish, with 43 percent of the world's inland fisheries catch coming from 50 low-income food-deficit countries.
"Significantly, inland fisheries are most important to subsets of the population, who tend to be the poorest and have a disproportionate dependence on them," he said.
Yet, despite contributing up to 20 percent of national GDP in developing countries, inland fisheries are often overlooked in policy discussions and decisions around water and land use planning and infrastructure development.
"Inland fisheries are seen as a subsistence system, not as an income-generating production system—a view that positions inland fisheries as not important" said Fred Boltz, CEO of Resolute Development Solutions.
Often, attention and investment is put into the sectors seen to be the most economically valuable, like agriculture and power generation, which comes at the expense of inland fisheries.
"There is a historical precedent set in water management where water is allocated to people and agriculture and fish are a byproduct," explained Funge-Smith.
"It's assumed that fisheries will always be there, but they won't if people don't pay them more attention," he said.
While in some instances these different water-using systems can co-exist and be mutually beneficial, in other instances decisions must be made about trade-offs.
For example, in the case of large infrastructure like dams, which are built to store water, many people see there to be a huge opportunity to increase fish production. But in practice that's often not the case, explained Vittoria Elliott, Director of the Mekong Science Program at CI.
"In reality, dams are more likely to adversely impact fish production, because they alter the flow of rivers, change fish habitats and block fish migration routes.
"If dam operators and water managers managed dams for fisheries, by using an integrated landscape approach, this will mitigate these effects and boost fish yields," she said.
Another competing user for water is aquaculture said Elliott, citing an example from the Lower Mekong Basin, where fish farms have multiplied rapidly in the last 10 years.
"Many small fish are being used to feed the aquaculture industry. It's both wasteful and economically inefficient because many of these fish would have grown into very large and economically valuable fish for the wild capture fisheries, but are instead being siphoned off for aquaculture. In poorly-managed aquaculture, many of these fish are not even used," she said.
To raise awareness of this issue, CI and partners have been calling for policy- and decision-makers in the Lower Mekong Basin to better account for fisheries in planning decisions.
"If inland fisheries are no longer able to feed local communities, and there's no option to replace them, then it will become a national issue of widespread food insecurity," explained Elliott.
To support policymakers to equitably allocate water among users, Chris Dickens of IWMI discussed how using basin networks can help identify sources of stress.
"For instance, you can evaluate the impacts of building a dam on fisheries, drought and irrigation and go right through the system. These evaluations can inform decision making and better manage trade-offs or opportunities.
"Without such tools—given the many competing water users and unintended consequences across the water cycle—it's too complex to make informed decisions," he said.
In sustaining and harnessing the potential of inland fisheries, speakers agreed that perceptions of the sector need to change.
"Inland fisheries are not seen as a development priority, nor a development opportunity. We need to flip that on its head," said Boltz.
So how can the inland fisheries sector raise its profile to this end?
At the end of the event, the message was clear: cooperation between the fisheries and water sectors is crucial to finding positive opportunities for all water users, and to raise awareness of livelihood and food security impacts in decisions on trade-offs.
Progress is already being made by groups such as the grassroots research network InFish, which addresses the needs of inland fisheries by "thinking outside the fishbowl" and reaching out to others.
By doing so, we can together work to sustain and enhance inland fisheries, thereby providing an accessible and nutritious source of food for billions and livelihoods for millions of people worldwide.

Cannes wouldn't be Cannes without the Dardenne brothers. The Belgian pair posed with the star of their latest film "Deux Jours, Une Nuit" Marion Cotillard. Later in the evening, their film had its premier in Cannes, just one day before it goes on nationwide release in France.
The redoubtable brothers have consistently shown how you can make remarkable and engaging films about ordinary people treating everyday subjects with very little money. This is the first time that they've brought anyone with such star quality (on both sides of the Atlantic) as Marion Cotillard to one of their projects.
Cotillard gives a superb performance that anyone who has seen her physically transform herself in "La Vie en Rose" or "Rust and Bone" won't be surprised at. In fact, her best performances are definitely in her native language and she should probably not bother with those over-blown Hollywood films any more. Critics are less sure of the film itself. The title (two days, one night) refers to the time left to Cotillard's character Sandra to convince 14 of her 16 fellow-factory-workers to forego their bonus by allowing her to keep her job. It's a Western tale of an innocent caught up in a cruel capitalist world fighting against the odds, with shades of Twelve Angry Men thrown in – all in the usual Dardennes neo-realist style. Many loved the whole thing, but there were those who though that the anti-capitalist message a bit too repetitive. In any case, it remains a strong contender to bag the Dardennes their third Palme d'Or.
Blue skies returned after a sombre evening the night before and Magnum ice-cream had their own photo-shoot on the promenade and the beach using model/actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to mark 20 years of the large expensive and delicious ice-cream.
Another film of note on photo-call duty today was the international cast of Ryan Gosling's first film as a director "Lost River". These include our own Saoirse Ronan (who was absent from the photo-call today) and French actor Reda Kateb.
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber turned teeny-bopper heads when he went for a shirt-less stroll along the Croisette surrounded by a forest of minders.

Smoking is one of the problems of humanity. It is a social scourge and there are plenty of discussions, plenty of pros and cons upon whether it should be banned or not. If you are a smoker, than you most likely will be against cigarettes banning. If you stand for a healthy lifestyle and hate smoking people especially right next to you, an essay on smoking is your chance to say it to the whole world.
Smoking is considered to be one of the bad habits for a reason. It influences health in a bad way causing problems with health. Our writers are able to write not on positive topics only but also on negatives issues. There are plenty, which is why we offer our help in case you need any. Our previous article was dedicated to importance of education and today, as long as you need a paper on bad impact smoking causes, here you go!
It is well aware that heavy smokers has their lungs decreased in size, pulse increases while exercising and short breathing appear faster than among non-smokers. Smokers have their metabolism increased, which is why it is harder for them to gain weight and easy to lose it. Up to 70% of people dying of lung cancer are either smokers or those who quit smoking. Short breathing while going up on the fifth floor is no good though.
It is interesting to know but smokers solve mental assignments 15% faster than non-smokers and die twice less from diabetes. Smoking future mothers give birth to children with lack of weight more often. By contrast, smoking mothers have 50% less cases of dangerous pre-natal eclampsism and slides as much as one third of toxicosis cases. Smokers have pulmonary emphysema twice more often than non-smokers and Alzheimer – three times less just like Parkinson disease.
Tobacco contains here is alkaloid nicotine. Burning out, tobacco makes it to where some part of nicotine with smoke get into organism through lungs and mucous membrane. After that, nicotine with blood spreads out through the whole organs and begin to enter the cells. It makes it to where heart beats faster, blood vessels narrow down (making them grow at the same time), interacts closely with neurons of brain, stimulates production of ferment responsible for pleasure called dopamine.
No one rout as of yet but everything seems to go there. 16 years ago, the biggest tobacco companies of the USA admitted their obligation to pay off 46 American states $206 000 000 dollars to cover expenses of smokers health insurance.
Our service is a rich repository of information. One can find anything on here. The diversity of topics is impressive, so is the local writers` knowledge. They are highly educated as has already been mentioned, experienced and, therefore, skilled when it comes to writing, editing and proofreading. Be our guest!


WASHINGTON — The French presidential election was billed as the most important in a generation, a referendum on the future of the European Union, a battle between cosmopolitan democratic values and right-wing authoritarianism.
Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron beat right-wing populist Marine Le Pen by a two-to-one margin. Believers in the post-war democratic order breathed a sigh of relief. France had restrained itself where the United States and Britain had not.
That world thrives on a toxic blend of anger, apathy and disempowerment — especially among youth who believe the current global order isn't meant for them. In America, just 60.2 percent of eligible voters participated in last year's fateful presidential election,which saw Trump win the Electoral College without a majority. On Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the French election results came in, we caught another glimpse of the new and dismal world emerging as the White House announced the firing of FBI director James Comey.
The director had been leading an investigation into the Trump campaign's relationship with Putin's regime, and requested more resources to expand it in the days before his dismissal.
The administration first offered a battery of reasons for President Trump's action, none of them related to the investigation (Trump later acknowledged the "Russia thing" was part of the rationale), and Trump hosted Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and ambassador Sergey Kislyak. American press wasn't allowed into the the Oval Office for the meeting and the major US newspapers ran photos from Russian state press on their front pages.
Scholars of history sounded the alarm about the chain of events: When a president takes unilateral measures to block the arm of justice, that is not democratic.
We didn't get here overnight. Steadily waning faith in our institutions, an increasing disconnect between citizens and leaders plus voter suppression efforts across the country have rendered more people ineligible, unable or unwilling to cast a ballot.
Eligible non-voters, especially millennials (the generation least likely to participate), tell us why they stay home. They do not like any of the candidates who make it to the final round of voting, they do not trust the institutions the candidates are chosen to lead, they don't think their lives will get better regardless, they are tired of choosing the lesser of two evils.
The rise of populism and the growing embrace of authoritarianism that has accompanied it in many countries over the last decade, reflects the decline of a certain kind of faith in open, democratic values.
Without that faith, it makes less sense to elect, say, a centrist over a right-wing candidate, an experienced candidate over a novice, a supporter of free speech and assembly over an autocrat (even one who runs as a man or woman of the people). Or to vote at all.
And if things go wrong, it can be tough to acknowledge the cracks that are beginning to show. It can be easier to "double down" and support the authoritarian — or to tune out altogether.
History tells us that this kind of passivity is music to an autocrat's ears. Democratic institutions including courts, Congress, the press and civil society organizations must hold such a leader accountable, and those institutions are easily undercut and ultimately rendered powerless without strong public engagement.
The "new world" heralded by Le Pen feeds on a lack of faith in an interconnected world shaped by international institutions. It feeds on lack of faith in democracy, in the possibilities of an open society. It loves when you don't vote, don't call your representative, don't protest and don't ask questions.
Then again, in an authoritarian world, those kinds of actions are strongly discouraged.

Q: Fourier series of a square wave using exponential definition Let
$
m(t)=
\begin{cases}
        1 & \text{if }  0 < x < T/2 \\
        -1 & \text{if } T/2 < x < T
\end{cases}
$ and $m(t)=m(t+T)$ where $T=0.002$.
Using Fourier Series:
$$m(t)=\sum_{k=\infty}^{\infty} c_{k} e^{j2\pi \frac{k}{T} t}$$
$$c_{k}=\frac{1}{T}\int_{-T/2}^{T/2}m(t)e^{-j2\pi \frac{k}{T} t}$$
If I tried to calculate the Fourier coefficients:
\begin{align}
c_k &= \frac{1}{0.002}\int_{-0.001}^{0.001} m(t) e^{-j2\pi \frac{k}{0.002} t} \\
c_k &= 500 \int_{-0.001}^{0.001} m(t) e^{-j \pi k 1000 t} \\
c_k &= 500 \int_{-0.001}^{0} -e^{-j \pi k 1000 t} + 500 \int_{0}^{0.001} e^{-j \pi k 1000 t} \\
c_k &= \frac{500}{-j\pi k 1000} (1-e^{j\pi k})+ \frac{500}{-j\pi k 1000} (e^{-j\pi k} - 1) \\
c_k &= \frac{1}{j\pi k} \frac{e^{j\pi k}-e^{-j\pi k}}{2} \\
c_k &= \frac{1}{j\pi k} \sinh(j \pi k) = 0 \\
\end{align}
But it's obvious that is wrong, also my text book says the coefficients are:
$
c_k =
\begin{cases}
        \frac{2}{j\pi k} & \text{if k odd}\\
        0 & \text{if k even}
\end{cases}
$
I can't find where the mistake is.

The Age of Madness
3 primary works Complete
Takes place approximately 30 years after the end of the First Law Trilogy.
Order books by Chronological order (First-Last) Publication date (Old-New)
A Little Hatred
by Joe Abercrombie
Introducing a cast of unforgettable new characters, A LITTLE HATRED is the start of a brand new trilogy set in the world of the First Law which will have you gripped from the very start . . .
War. Politics. Revolution.
The Age of Madness has arrived . . .
The chimneys of industry rise over Adua and the world seethes with new opportunities. But old scores run deep as ever.
On the blood-soaked borders of Angland, Leo dan Brock struggles to win fame on the battlefield, and defeat the marauding armies of Stour Nightfall. He hopes for help from the crown. But King Jezal's son, the feckless Prince Orso, is a man who specialises in disappointments.
Savine dan Glokta—socialite, investor, and daughter of the most feared man in the Union—plans to claw her way to the top of the slag-heap of society by any means necessary. But the slums boil over with a rage that all the money in the world cannot control.
The age of the machine dawns, but the age of magic refuses to die. With the help of the mad hillwoman Isern-i-Phail, Rikke struggles to control the blessing, or the curse, of the Long Eye. Glimpsing the future is one thing, but with the guiding hand of the First of the Magi still pulling the strings, changing it will be quite another . . .
The Trouble With Peace
Second in the AGE OF MADNESS trilogy, THE TROUBLE WITH PEACE is the next instalment of a series which is revolutionising fantasy . . .
Conspiracy. Betrayal. Rebellion.
Peace is just another kind of battlefield . . .
Savine dan Glokta, once Adua's most powerful investor, finds her judgement, fortune and reputation in tatters. But she still has all her ambitions, and no scruple will be permitted to stand in her way.
For heroes like Leo dan Brock and Stour Nightfall, only happy with swords drawn, peace is an ordeal to end as soon as possible. But grievances must be nursed, power seized and allies gathered first, while Rikke must master the power of the Long Eye . . . before it kills her.
Unrest worms into every layer of society. The Breakers still lurk in the shadows, plotting to free the common man from his shackles, while noblemen bicker for their own advantage. Orso struggles to find a safe path through the maze of knives that is politics, only for his enemies, and his debts, to multiply.
The old ways are swept aside, and the old leaders with them, but those who would seize the reins of power will find no alliance, no friendship, and no peace, lasts forever.

The Wisdom of Crowds
CHOAS. FURY. DESTRUCTION.
THE GREAT CHANGE IS UPON US . . .
'Dazzlingly gruesome and gripping' Daily Mail
Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds.
With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Orso will find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a monarch. And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are running out of allies . . . while Black Calder gathers his forces and plots his vengeance.
The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down, and in the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver's ruthless plan are slowly being drawn together . . .
Capping off the AGE OF MADNESS trilogy, THE WISDOM OF CROWDS brings the series which is revolutionising fantasy to its stunning conclusion . . .
New books in the series will automatically be added to your library.


The U.S. Department of State awarded a new "Performance Management and Evaluation Services" IDIQ during the last week of FY 17 to several small and large businesses. WRMA is excited to be a member of one of the winning Small Business teams, leveraging WRMA's more than 30 years of expertise in evaluation, training and technical assistance, performance measurement and staffing support services. The IDIQ is worth up to $75Million over 5 years with the Small Business Set-Aside Areas include Civilian Security, Rights & Stability and Management initiatives. WRMA looks forward to supporting the State Department's mission to "Create a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community," by amplifying best practices of successful programs and ensuring staff have the tools and resources to advance U.S. foreign policy.
WRMA congratulates the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service for the publication of the "Extent of Trafficking in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for 2012-2014." WRMA was pleased to support this study effort, providing research and analytics services for the publication's findings and final report, examining the rate of trafficking in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
About 11.8 percent of all authorized SNAP stores engaged in trafficking.
WRMA has supported the Food and Nutrition Service division of the USDA for more than 5 years, having completed multiple studies in the areas of program integrity and IT feasibility studies.
WRMA is pleased to congratulate the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL), on its release of the first Federal report on nationally collected data on the maltreatment of older adults and adults with disabilities. ACL released this report on August 29, 2017 at the National Adult Protective Services Association conference. The conference participants expressed their enthusiasm regarding this monumental moment with a standing ovation.
This initial report is the first in a series of reports based on first-year data submission to the National Adult Maltreatment Reporting System (NAMRS). This is the first comprehensive, national reporting system for Adult Protective Services (APS) programs.
In partnership with ACL, and as the primary contractor, WRMA has been supporting this important effort since 2013. ACL, in partnership with the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), contracted with WRMA in 2013 (contract #HHSP23320095656WV) to implement a 2-year effort to design, develop, and pilot a national reporting system for APS. After the successful pilot, ACL contracted with WRMA to run the National Adult Protective Services Resource Center (contract #HHSP233201500042I) to fully implement NAMRS and to provide expert technical assistance and guidance to assist in enhancing state APS systems. This included improvements in APS practices, APS services, the collection of APS data, and supporting states with NAMRS submission.
NAMRS is a voluntary data reporting system collecting data from state and local APS programs. Forty-eight states, the District of Columbia, and all U.S. territories contributed data to NAMRS in its inaugural year. Please note, we refer to the states, district and territories collectively as "states". This extremely successful level of voluntary participation reflects the value that leaders in the field of adult maltreatment place on this data.
On behalf of ACL, WRMA engaged states and began providing training and technical assistance in preparation for the national implementation of NAMRS. Office of Management and Budget approval was received in March of 2017 and states submitted data for the Federal Fiscal Year 2016 (Oct. 2015-Sept. 2016) by April 2017. ACL and WRMA were very aware of the desire to see data quickly and made a concentrated effort to develop an initial report by August 2017, within four months of the submission of data.
The WRMA NAMRS team recognizes and appreciates the tremendous effort by the states, District of Columbia, and territories in preparing and submitting the data. We value our work with ACL and the continued opportunity to collaborate to improve the quality of data collection. WRMA shares the vision with the APS community that with quality data comes invaluable information that will ultimately offer better protection, improved programs, and increased support for older adults and adults with disabilities.
WRMA played an active role in the 2017 National Conference on State & Territory Child Care Administrators. This year the conference focused on the past two years of implementing the Child Care and Development Fund Reauthorization and what lessons can be learned from research data, technical assistance and examples of innovative administration practices. Building on WRMA's work managing the National Center on Subsidy Innovation & Accountability (NCSIA), WRMA took part in the planning committee and played key roles in leading presentations on topics including Criminal Background Checks, 12-Month Eligibility/Wait Lists, Market Rate Surveys/Alternate Methodologies, and Efficiencies and Coordination of Federal Funding Streams. Sponsored by the Office of Child Care, Administration for Children and Families, all 56 States, Territories, and the District of Columbia meet annually at this premier conference. This was a team effort with Bob Frein and Leigh Ann Bryan participating in the STAM planning committee and staff presenting at major sessions at the conference, including Theresa Campisi, Mary Beth Jackson, Brad Kramer, Jeanie Mills, Leigh Ann Bryan, and Bob Frein.
WRMA will be presenting at the Annual Meeting of the American Evaluation Association this coming November in Washington, D.C. Facilitated by Dr. Jennifer Dewey, this panel will highlight key issues in the ongoing development of three U.S. Department of Health and Human Services-funded projects that collect, analyze, and report key information on vulnerable populations. Panelists representing the National Adult Maltreatment Reporting System, the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System, and the Children's Mental Health Initiative will lead a dynamic discussion. Topics will include: 1) the consensus building and negotiation process between contractors, federal agencies, states, researchers, and other stakeholders to determine data needs; 2) building and regularly updating systems to collect and store data that may change over time based on funding priorities and other themes including key project successes and challenges.
On June 6-9, 2017, WRMA staff presented at the "One Child Many Hands Conference" hosted by the Field Center at the University of Pennsylvania. WRMA's panel was entitled Partnering for Impact: Identifying Opportunities for Early Intervention. Our panel included three papers which used evidence-based findings to advance prevention efforts within child welfare. Two of our papers used National Child Abuse and Neglect Data Systems data – providing a retrospective analysis identifying characteristics associated with child fatalities, and an analysis of child maltreatment perpetrators focused on predictors of recidivism. Our panel provided cross-context research findings to elucidate early indicators of maltreatment and facilitate child maltreatment prevention programs. WRMA presenters included Jennifer Dewey, Ph.D., Nicole B. Fettig, Ph.D., and Gila R. Shusterman, Ph.D. as well as Mary Jo Ortiz providing analysis support.
WRMA, Inc. welcomes Mr. Karl Urban as Senior Research Manager. Mr. Urban's primary area of focus will be leading the technical assistance efforts of the Adult Protective Services National Technical Assistance Resource Center (APS TARC). WRMA was recently rewarded a four-year contract from the Administration on Community Living, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to operate the APS TARC. Mr. Urban's experience leading the Texas APS program, one of the leading programs in the country, will help ensure establishment of a high-quality Resource Center with the goal of improving the quality of APS services around the county. "Mr. Urban will contribute planning, performance management and policy analysis to other projects, particularly in the areas of aging and long-term services and support. We are excited to have his expertise as WRMA moves forward into serving adult aging populations," said Judy Sebastian, CEO of WRMA Inc.
Prior to joining WRMA, Mr. Urban had a 25-year career in Texas state government, culminating in serving as a Director and Assistant Commissioner in the Adult Protective Services program. Prior to APS, Mr. Urban worked on aging and disability issues, including serving as Manager of Policy Analysis and Support at the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, Deputy Director at the Texas Department on Aging, and as a member of multiple state councils including the Texas Council on Developmental Disabilities.
Mr. Urban's experience has also included planning, policy analysis and evaluation, and consulting positions at the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Office of the Governor. Mr. Urban has been presenter/trainer at numerous conferences and meetings including those of the U.S. Administration on Aging, American Society on Aging, Texas Conference on Aging, Texas APS Conference, among others, and has testified before Congress and the Texas Legislature on numerous occasions.
About WRMA, Inc. WRMA, Inc. is a woman-owned small business with more than 30 years of experience and expertise in research, evaluation, performance measurements and monitoring, and IT analytic services. Our clients include federal, state, and local governments as well as non-profit organizations (including foundations) and for-profit corporations. WRMA's primary mission is to provide system-wide improvements in support of the delivery of health, development, and human service programs, particularly for at-risk and disenfranchised populations.
On March 26, 2015 WRMA was awarded a new task order by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the Evaluation Methods of Part C Fundsproject. With partner The Mission Analytics Group, WRMA's technical expertise and experience in support of RWHAP positioned the company to secure this new partnership with HRSA.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 1.2 million people are living with HIV in the United States. Treatment advances have made it feasible to end new infections while treating HIV as a chronic disease. Given that nearly 1 in 7 individuals are unaware of their HIV infection, and of those aware, only 40% are retained in medical care and 30% are virally suppressed, there is still much work to be done. WRMA recognizes that the RWHAP plays an essential part in addressing these gaps to effectively respond to the HIV epidemic.
The purpose of this project is to address the lack of historical variation in Objective Review Committee scores and subsequent allocations while incorporating a model that addresses the methodological and policy issues noted above. Key goals of the project fall into five areas: (1) To link funding to current indicators of need; (2) To ensure that the limited RHWAP Part C EIS funding is spent on delivering services in geographic areas and to those patients most in need; (3) To ensure that the costs of providing care per patient based on geographic and other healthcare financing issues are factored into the funding awarded to each RWHAP Part C EIS grantee; and (4) To provide incentives for grantees to focus on programmatic results along the HIV CARE Continuum.
Currently, WRMA and the Mission Analytics Group (WRMA-Mission Team) are collaborating on the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program's Part A Supplemental Funding-Feasibility Study of Proposed Framework for Allocation of Funds Responsive to Need for the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) of HRSA. In addition, the WRMA-Mission Team recently completed the study Understanding and Monitoring the Interrelationships between Funding Streams in Ryan White-Funded Clinics for HRSA. This study was done to understand how RWHAP grantees provide outpatient health care and essential support services to uninsured and underinsured clients as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) changes the healthcare funding landscape, as this may require changes in the RWHAP.
WRMA is pleased to continue supporting HRSA in efforts to ensure that vulnerable populations living with HIV have access to critical care and other support services to help ensure a high quality of life.
In March 2015, WRMA was awarded the Program Support Center (PSC) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The PSC IDIQ is effective beginning in March 2015 for 5 years, with 5 option years, concluding in 2025. WRMA has successfully held the PSC IDIQ previously and is excited to continue supporting the work of the Department and its operating divisions.
The PSC IDIQ is anticipated to have a ceiling of $500 million over its lifetime. The IDIQ will support the mission of HHS—promoting the health, welfare, and income security of the American people. The Department, its operating divisions, and agencies implement and advise on programs that support the well-being of all Americans.


No matter how old you get, playing on a swing is probably the most fun you can have on a playground. Höwler + Yoon Architecture brought that fun to a 2.7 acre space in Boston by installing Swing Time, a group of 20 glowing hammocks built for grown-ups.
The swings are lit from within with LEDs that react to the swings' movement. When the circle is still, it emits a warm, inviting white light. When a passenger boards and begins to swing, the light changes to a lovely lilac.
The interior accelerometer and microcontroller sense the level of activity to change the color of the swings. The interactive nature of this quality makes the swings seem fun and inviting, even for people who aren't prone to playing in playgrounds.
Although the glowing swings are quite a lovely sight on their own, it's when many of them are in motion that the installation really begins to shine. The glowing circles swaying gently or swinging wildly bring to mind the fun-filled days of youth when we could spend hours trying to make our feet reach the clouds by swinging ever higher.

The source HESS J1356-645 associated with the young and energetic pulsar PSR J1357-6429
1.4 GHz radio signal of the pulsed emission of pulsar PSR J1357−6429, measured with the Parkes radio telescope ( S. Johnston et al.).
Pulsar wind nebulae - multi-lightyear-sized bubbles of high-energy electrons and positrons power by a pulsar - are probably the most abundant class of galactic sources of very high energy gamma rays. Measurements of pulsar wind nebulae by H.E.S.S. at very high (TeV) energies were recently complemented at GeV energies in a comprehensive study using Fermi data (F. Acero et al., 2013). One of the pulsar wind nebula candidates explored there is HESS J1356−645, a gamma ray source discovered close to the pulsar PSR J1357−6429. PSR J1357−6429 is a relatively young pulsar, with a characteristic age of about 7000 years, a rotation period of 166 ms, and a very large spin-down energy loss of a few 10^36 ergs/s, ample to power significant gamma-ray emission by the radiating electrons, given the distance of about 7000 light years. PSR J1357−6429 was discovered in the Parkes multibeam survey of the Galactic Plane (Camilo et al. 2004).
H.E.S.S. observations of the region of PSR J1357−6429 were first taken as part of the Galactic Plane Survey, followed up by dedicated observations, for an effective exposure of about 10 h. HESS J1356−645 is visible as a highly significant, extended (0.2 degr. size) source of very high energy gamma rays with a flux of about 10% of that of the Crab nebula (Fig. 1, Abramowski et al. 2011). The peak of the gamma ray emission is displaced about 7' from the pulsar, not very dissimilar from the displacements observed for other pulsar wind nebulae, and attributed to ambient pressures shifting the electron bubble, or to pulsar proper motion, leaving behind the electrons created shortly after pulsar birth, when the energy loss was highest. Radio images show emission from the same region as the gamma ray source, but lack strong emission from the pulsar position, as might have been expected for a pulsar powering an extended nebula. X-ray observations with XMM-Newton (Abramowski et al. 2011) and Chandra (Lemoine-Goumard et al., 2011, Fig. 2), on the other hand, show both emission from the location of the pulsar, as well as larger-scale diffuse emission. A pulsar wind nebula powered by PSR J1357−6429 seems the most plausible explanation. The wide-band spectral energy distribution including recent Fermi data (Fig. 3, F. Acero et al., 2013) confirms this, with the typical two-component emission spectrum peaking in the X-ray keV range, and in the TeV range.

Great Pay, Job Placements Give FE Program A Boost in National Rankings
CONTINUING TO CLIMB: CGU's Financial Engineering Program has posted its highest ranking in more than five years with QuantNet.
Over the last five years, CGU's Financial Engineering Program has made steady progress in the ranks of QuantNet's "The Best Financial Engineering Programs," which presents the nation's top 30 schools and is regarded as the field's gold standard for rankings.
That rise continues this year: QuantNet has released its 2021 rankings, and CGU's program has again moved up and is ranked at 22.
Last year, the program advanced from 27 to 24—with this new ranking, the FE program has gained two slots and moved to its highest position since 2014.
This puts CGU's program ahead of top programs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and other leading schools.
For the Drucker School's Michael Imerman, who co-directs the program with the Institute of Mathematical Science's Henry Schellhorn, new career and professional data submitted to QuantNet has made a crucial difference.
"The increase in our ranking reflects that a greater percentage of our students are getting great jobs with an average starting salary of almost $95,000," he said.
CGU's program also reports that 85% of its FE grads are finding employment three months after graduation with a wide variety of global businesses, including the Capital Group, PayPal, Qontigo/Axioma, and Mizuho Bank, among others.
CGU's program is a partnership between the Drucker School and Institute of Mathematical Sciences. The program's focused integration of management and mathematics prepares graduates for careers in a broad range of specialties in financial services including asset pricing, financial analysis, and three areas in which Imerman said CGU's program stands above its peers: FinTech, data science, and risk management.
"I have never been at another university where we dedicate as much time and energy to ensuring student success as we do here"
–Michael Imerman, FE Program Co-Director
Over the past two years, he said the program's curriculum has been updated to address all of these rapidly growing, in-demand areas and "we are quickly establishing ourselves as the leaders in the market."
Imerman also credits the program's continuing success in the QuantNet rankings—along with its steady climb in another important annual financial engineering ranking published by the TFE Times—to the dedication of the program's faculty, staff, and recruiters.
"I have never been at another university where we dedicate as much time and energy to ensuring student success as we do here," said Imerman, who joined the Drucker School in 2018 from Lehigh University, where he served as Theodore A. Lauer Distinguished Professor of Investments. "It is just part of the culture here. Our doors are always open (literally when we are on campus, but figuratively since March 2020) and we are always willing to go the extra mile for our students."


Somewhere between Doyle and Lovecraft, there's Alice and Claude Askew's Alymer Vance, supernatural detective.
It is not difficult to imagine Sherlock Holmes, that great eschewer of the supernatural, firing his clay pipe into the fireplace at 221B were he made aware of the cottage literary movement birthed by his adventures. People tend to forget that the detective and his dogged, Boswellian biographer Doctor Watson, investigated through the first quarter of the 20th century, existing as surely in the age of Babe Ruth as they had in the Victorian era of Wilkie Collins. There were, of course, hundreds of Holmes knock-offs and pastiches throughout the detective's run, as there are now, but what some writers, at least, had the good sense to realize was that simply recasting the model of the genius deducer and his very human foil/partner was not going to achieve any more than serve up some Sherlock-lite. A new wrinkle was needed. Enter, then, the ghosts, and the duos who investigate them.
In the summer of 1914, when the wife and husband duo of Alice and Claude Askew published the eight stories that comprise the collected adventures of Aylmer Vance, "ghost-seer" — there's something for a business card for you — supernatural fiction was going through a crucial change. The ghost story, long dominant in England, from where the Askews hailed, and which made up a goodly chunk of the best literature yet written in the States, had started to morph into the weird tale, the stuff that would dominate the pulps in the 1930s and 1940s, giving rise to those limited edition book runs at places like Arkham House, which recast horror writing much as Hawthorne, Poe, and M.R. James once had. Humans, now, were often the agencies of the macabre, or else elemental forces from the beyond divorced of human form, but borne of human crisis and strain. The dead girl in the glowing white dress, less so.

Compared to marriage, dating is quite a recent phenomenon which has emerged only in the last few hundred years or so. Despite that, it is now an institution in itself and forms a major part of our social life.
However, whenever the word 'dating' comes to the mind, what is the first image that the brain conjures up? Most likely, a young beautiful couple seated in a restaurant. This is because we are a victim of the media which always emphasizes on youth and physical appearance. The reality is far different.
This is because we are a victim of the media which always emphasizes on youth and physical appearance. The reality is far different.
With the advent of modernization, technology and women empowerment, the world has also seen a change in the institution of marriage. It is no longer considered permanent or a lifetime commitment until your partner dies.
In fact, more and more people throughout the world are choosing cohabitation or open relationship over marriage. This has also resulted in a higher number of people of both genders being single by the time they reach their middle ages or forties.
So, it is completely natural to look for companionship because, by nature, no human being likes to be alone. However, very frequently it so happens that middle-agers think that their opportunity for dating and looking for a potentially romantic relationship is gone.
At the back of their mind, there is also this nagging feeling that they are no more what they used to be in their twenties or thirties. They are not physically that good looking anymore and sometimes men might think they might not be able to perform in bed as they used to before.
Nevertheless, all this is just a result of the bias that we all have been subjected to by the media.
This quote illustrates a very important aspect of aging and what it entails. With modern technology and advances in medical field not only we are living longer, but also better and healthier.
That does not mean if we are single by middle age, we should continue to be so. In fact, age is no barrier to dating and by forties when one is well settled, dating can be the first step to a long-term relationship.
One study conducted in the USA showed that the number of single people in their forties has increased by 50 % since 1980. This also means that there is a larger population of potentially available partners.
In fact, dating in later life can prove to be more fruitful and fulfilling than it did in youth by virtue of both partners being more mature and stable.
While it is true that age should not act as a hurdle to a potentially romantic and stable relationship, it is also true that one cannot expect a lad in his twenties and a man in his forties to behave in the same way.
In fact, knowing how to adapt oneself to the societal norms can be the key to successful dating. For once, if a person who is still single by forty might not be looking for a long-term romantic relationship at all.
He might just want a temporary form of companionship. The point is older adult have a different set of needs and aspiration compared to the young. While younger people are more into drinking and dancing away on a Saturday night date, an older couple might prefer a quiet dinner and movies.
As we age, our perspective on life changes so should our dating etiquettes. Furthermore, while dating at the age of twenty, one's priority might be physical appearance, age, and personality.
This concept changes with time. Older adults are more into trust, stability and good communication. Dating at 40 is more about meeting in person and communicating and talking in real time rather than chatting online.
Dating- the basis of a healthy life?
One key aspect of dating at any age is the fact that it might eventually lead to an intimate, even sexual relationship whether temporary or permanent. Therefore, older daters might hesitate as they feel they are not as good as they were before. With a hectic life and career, we also tend to ignore our health.
Also, forty years is the age around which age-related disorders might start to creep in. Men start to feel they are not able to perform sexually as well as they could in their youth. The problem is not severe enough to warrant a medical advice but serious enough to deter from looking for a dating partner.
The solution to this problem is a systematic and positive approach. Obviously, our bodies do not stay the same, we all change with time. But it has been proven time and again that by keeping eating healthy and keeping fit we can be active for a longer period of time.
As a youngster, we might ignore our health and develop poor eating habits. This attitude needs to change as we get older. Focusing on a good diet, ensuring an adequate amount of physical activity will offset co-morbidities that seem a part and parcel of old age.
Furthermore, what we cannot fulfill through a healthy lifestyle can be made up for by taking health supplements. Modernization has allowed the combination of latest research and technology with centuries-old knowledge of medicinal plants to come together and provide solutions to our health woes.
Indeed, a variety of excellent herbal supplements are available throughout the world which is specifically made for boosting male health and sexual performance.
These supplements have the advantage of being side effect free as they do not contain any pharmaceutical agent, just natural herb extracts with proven benefit. The only glitch is to make sure that one is purchasing a genuine product and not some quack product with potentially harmful ingredients.
It is rightly said that the only thing constant is change. Dating at any age is normal, but we need to realize that though our basic nature, needs and desires are same, our bodies are not.
So, the answer would be to adapt to these changes. Given the choice between leading an unhealthy, lonely life and putting in some efforts to look better, healthier in order to be in a relationship, I think anyone sane would choose the latter.

Natsu Dragneel, a fire wizard of the guild Fairy Tail, searches high and low for his foster father
Incidentally, he meets a celestial wizard named Lucy Heartfilia, who is keen on joining Fairy Tail
Seeing their complementary chemistry, Natsu and Lucy form a distinguished team of fellow wizards
In the mystical realm of Earth Land, magic exists at the core of everyday life for its inhabitants, from transportation to utilities and everything in between. However, even with all its benefits, magic can also be used for great evil; therefore, to prevent dark forces from upsetting the natural order of things, there exists a system of magical guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore. Under the command of their respective guild masters, these guilds are made up of witches and wizards who take on various job requests to earn fame and fortune. One particular guild stands high above the rest in both strength and spirit, and its name is Fairy Tail.
In his quest to find his dragon foster father—Igneel—Natsu Dragneel, a fiery and reckless mage, and his partner Happy run into a young celestial mage by the name of Lucy Heartfilia, who reveals that it's her dream to become a full-fledged wizard and join the Fairy Tail guild. After rescuing her from an abduction attempt, Natsu offers her a home in Fairy Tail. Now a member of the guild, Lucy teams up with Natsu and befriends fellow wizards Gray Fullbuster and Erza "Titania" Scarlet. Together, this motley crew set out on their many adventures, gaining many faithful allies and deadly foes along the way.

R. António Maria Cardoso, 38
Metro: Baixa-Chiado (linhas azul e verde)
Carris: 28E, 758
FREE ADMISSION, subject to venue capacity and via ticket collection
(maximum of 2 per person) on the day of the show, from 13:00.
The São Luiz Municipal Theatre opens the doors to Christmas with a concert by the Orquestra Académica Metropolitana (OAM) and the Universidade Nova de Lisboa Choir, with pieces by the renowned composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.
Mozart's most well-known religious composition is, without doubt, Requiem, written in the last months of his life in Vienna. There are, however, several others which arouse the interest of more attentive ears. Such is the case of Coronation Mass, from Vesperae solennes de Confessore...and also Missa Longa (Long Mass) in C Major. It's known as "Longa" to distinguish it from the Missae Breves (Short Masses), which omitted various parts of the mass in order to be used in more modest celebrations. Even so, it's not that the duration is longer, but rather the vocal and instrumental apparatus used; the mixed choir is joined by four solo vocalists and an orchestra with kettledrums, trumpets and trombones.
In the first part of the show, the OAM interprets the first of Beethoven's nine symphonies. The nine compositions are very different from each other, each of them a masterpiece in its own right. With Symphony No.1 of 1800, Beethoven made a point of presenting an eminently classical style, close even to that of Mozart. But you could already guess what was to come, with some of the features which would characterise the work of the German composer and pianist already present, in particular the prominent use of woodwind instruments.
