The vodka brand launched in 1998 by billionaire entrepreneur Roustam Tariko certainly appears to have the might of the Russian government behind it. "Russian Standard cannot be compared to anything else - it is simply unbeatable," said Yuri Ushakov, ambassador of the Russian Federation to the US, at the April US launch of Russian Standard Original at the Russian Embassy in Washington DC. "What is special about it is its Russian spirit and Russian taste. This is indeed the best vodka in the world," he added.
In June came the announcement of the Pure Russian advertising campaign in the US, with its tagline claim The No1 Premium Vodka in Russia pitting it directly, and aggressively, against rival Stolichnaya's Choose Authenticity campaign.
A clutch of international launches followed. Russian Standard Platinum was launched in India in August; October saw the full Russian Standard portfolio rolled out in the UK and France, a listing with state monopoly Alko in Finland and a launch in Slovenia. Russian Standard products are now available in more than 40 markets.
October also saw the launch of an international TV ad campaign comprising six mini-films directed by Michael Haussman. In the same month the brand embarked on a major nightlife event promotion across Germany, featuring music events scheduled to reach 10,000 club-goers across 10 German cities, and including headline sponsorship of the 2007 GQ Men of the Year awards in Munich.

Intel Corporation to Begin Production of 3D XPoint Memory in 2017
Intel's interesting new memory technology will finally come to market next year.

In 2015, microprocessor giant Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) talked up a new type of memory technology that it had developed jointly with memory specialist Micron, known as 3D XPoint. In a nutshell, 3D XPoint is pitched as a memory technology that's supposed to sit in between traditional DRAM and NAND flash in terms of speed, endurance, and cost.

Although it's not quite clear how large the market opportunity for this technology is, investors are likely to begin to find out next year as the company begins production shipments of the technology.
3D XPoint to ramp in 2017
According to Intel CEO Brian Krzanich on the company's most recent earnings call, the company plans to "ship thousands of [3D XPoint] samples to customers" as the current quarter progresses. He also said Intel is aiming to qualify 3D XPoint for production "at the end of the quarter."
Once the technology is qualified for production, the company aims to ramp up production of 3D XPoint throughout 2017, which is when investors should expect to see revenue from the product flowing into the company's top and bottom lines.
3D XPoint SSDs first, memory modules later
During the call, Krzanich made clear that Intel's upcoming Purley server platform won't feature support for 3D XPoint memory modules (in other words, substitutes for traditional DRAM) at the outset -- that support is now expected to come with the company's second-generation processor family on the Purley platform.
The earliest that investors should expect such memory modules is sometime in 2018.
It's important to understand, however, that this doesn't mean Intel won't be selling 3D XPoint into the server market throughout 2017. It simply means that the first server-bound 3D XPoint products will be storage drives just like today's NAND-flash-based solid-state drives, just way faster.
If 3D XPoint delivers what Intel claims it delivers, then there could be a significant revenue opportunity just from storage drives based on the technology. However, what Intel seems to be more excited about is the prospect of selling memory modules based on this technology to stand in for traditional DRAM.
Memory module opportunity likely more interesting to Intel
I suspect that sales of 3D XPoint-based storage drives will, to some degree, eat into sales of traditional solid-state drives. Intel sells such drives, so to the extent that a 3D XPoint storage device is sold in place of a traditional solid-state drive, Intel may not always come out ahead.
Memory modules are a whole different ballgame, however.
Every 3D XPoint memory module that Intel sells would presumably be in place of a traditional DRAM-based memory module. Today, Intel doesn't manufacture or sell DRAM products, so to the extent that 3D XPoint can be substituted in for DRAM, Intel stands to enjoy revenue upside.
Image source: Intel, via KitGuru.
It goes beyond near-term revenue, though. Intel currently commands nearly the entirety of the server processor market, and it would obviously like to keep as much of that share as possible, even as many chip competitors try to rip away market share.
Should these 3D XPoint memory modules prove to offer a real and compelling value proposition to data-center operators, and should those memory modules work only with Intel's processors, they could be instrumental to helping Intel maintain extremely high server processor market share.
Considering how much Intel has riding on its ability to maintain a strong position in the server market, it's little surprise that the company would be interested in developing compelling complementary platform technologies that only work with its platforms.

Busca Lo Más Vital (originalmente en inglés, The Bare Necessities) es una famosa canción escrita por Terry Gilkyson para la película de dibujos animados de Disney El Libro de la Selva (1967). En la versión hispanohablante de la película es cantada por Germán Valdés como Baloo y Diana Santos como Mowgli. La versión original en inglés es cantada por Phil Harris como Baloo y Bruce Reitherman como Mowgli.

Fue originalmente escrita para un borrador previo de la película que nunca se produjo. Los hermanos Sherman, quienes escribieron las otras canciones de la película, mantuvieron esta como la canción única utilizada de la versión anterior. Un bis de la canción fue cantada por Sebastian Cabot como Bagheera y Phil Harris como Baloo al final de la película. Van Dyke Parks trabajó en el arreglo, que fue su primer concierto pagado después de mudarse a California. También fue cantada por Louis Armstrong. Lou Rawls interpretó una versión hip-hop de la canción como tema para Jungla Cubs.

En 1967, Busca Lo Más Vital fue nominada al Óscar a la mejor canción original pero ganó Talk To The Animals de Doctor Dolittle.

Studies in the History of Educational Opinion from the Renaissance
Av Simon Somerville Laurie
Ages was St Thomas Aquinas, who died in 1272. The disputations, which gave zest to Academic life for centuries before and after St Thomas, contained, many of them, grave issues; but they were all within certain recognized authoritative lines. And even where they raised questions that might have called forth answers fatal to the prevalent theological system, these were often discussed as matters purely intellectual, which, however they might be settled in the dialectical arena, could not disturb the dogmas of Faith. Even after the Revival was in full swing, doctors had, not seldom, one opinion for philosophic schools, another for the Church and the world outside. They were scarcely honest, as we now count honesty; but intellectual honesty is in these days a cheap virtue; and yet, spite of this, a good many think it even now too dear at the price to be paid for it.
The House which mediaeval faith, scholastic philosophy and ecclesiastical administrative genius had built for itself, was, because of its very completeness, a prison. Perhaps it may safely be said that there is no possible organized system of thought and life, which could sustain for long its despotism over the mind of the higher races of men. Reason is in its essence free, and will always react against uniformity of opinion and custom. It is a disruptive force. The laying of the last stone of a temple is the beginning of its decay.
At the same time let us note this fact, that had it not been for the freedom of discussion inevitably connected with the mediaeval Universities from the 11th century onwards, the mind of Europe would not have been prepared for any new advance. The scholastic disputations and the revival of Hellenic abstract thought, while they gave form and stability to Catholic doctrine, yet stirred a speculative spirit which went far beyond the limits which the Church would have prescribed. We see this spirit operating as early as Abelard. The Hellenic literature and attitude to life was the great intellectual foe of the Church in the early centuries of the Christian era : again it intruded itself, and the conflict had to be renewed and is still progressing. It is, at bottom, a struggle between Naturalism in the broad Hellenic sense of that term and Supernaturalism. The former, while necessarily unstable, lends itself to progress; the latter is, as authoritative, stable, and suspicious of all movement.
But there were other precursors of the Renaissance. The Crusades had disturbed the mind of Europe and brought nations into contact with each other. Above all, they had brought the more thoughtful and inquiring minds into touch with Byzantine and Arabic learning, which was itself in the direct line of Hellenic tradition. Secondly, the general rise of nationalities and the beginnings of national vernacular literatures were indications of a stirring of the mind of Europe of which it would be difficult to find an explanation. The national songs and poems which formed the basis of the Romance of the Cid in Spain (from 1180 A.D. onward), the Chansons de Geste of a still earlier date, the Provençal poets, the Niebelunglied in Germany (13th century), the Scandinavian Sagas (from ninth century onwards), the Romance of Arthur among the Celts of England and its translation into English, the Romances (chief of which was Amadis of Gaul) were all unmistakable signs of the beginning of a way of looking at human life and of a free enjoyment of the human intellect in its own creations, which had little in common with the ecclesiasticism and monasticism of the ages prior to the 13th century'. It is probable, however, that the supreme agent in reinstating in man a belief in his natural powers was the intense intellectual activity at all University centres to which I have referred above, and which led to the raising of many questions which had been held to be finally settled. And
| We get a very instructive account of the pre-Renaissance literary activity in Warton's History of English Poetry.
to this we may add the order of Chivalry so closely associated with individual prowess and character. Thus Europe passed out of a period of dogmatic and ecclesiastical bondage into the freer life of the modern world by very gradual steps, and found itself unawares in a new intellectual attitude to life and possessed by a higher faith in human capacities and possibilities. This advance is correctly enough called the Renaissance.
The new movement ran in three main streams which had a common source, and that common source was simply Reason itself as a free, and even rebellious, activity. These streams were Art, Religion, and Science, or, to put it otherwise, life in life itself and nature-impelled by its fulness to seek the satisfaction of utterance in beautiful forms through the medium of language and the other materials and vehicles of artistic expression; a new and deeper sense of the personal and immediate relation of the spirit of man to the moral order and to God; and a pursuit of truth for its own sake. An immediate and fresh looking at man and human experience may be said to sum up the Revival. Thus we find living in the first period, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, and Chaucer; and also Wykliffe, Huss, and Jerome of Prag. When we consider the achievements of these men,
and the still earlier vernacular literatures to which we have referred above, it is evident that the Renaissance was not dependent on the revival of Latin and Greek literature for its origin or its permanence.
It was, however, inevitable that in seeking for an expression of Life and Art, the more active minds should be drawn to what was ready-made, but had been forgotten. Latin literature and, subsequently, the study of Greek, accordingly, were the two great occupations of the Humanists. In the middle of the 15th century, says Hallam, "The spirit of ancient learning was diffused," on the Italian side of the Alps. " The Greek language might then be learned in four or five cities, and an acquaintance with it was a recommendation to the favour of the great; while the establishment of Universities at Pavia, Turin, Ferrara and Florence" (during the preceding generation) "bore witness to the generous emulation which they served to redouble and concentrate."—Hallam, I. pt. i. ch. 2. Ambitious scholars from Northern lands visited Italy to participate in the new learning. Wessel was there in 1470, Rudolf Agricola in 1476.
It is correct to say that the first period of what is commonly known as the Renaissance was, to begin with, solely, and till towards the end of the 15th century chiefly, Italian, whether we regard vernacular writings, the revived study of Latin and Greek literature, the growth of Art, or the reaction against mediaeval theology. Unfortunately, the new delight in literature, art, and a natural life, and the total breach with religious tradition, led to wide-spread scepticism and to a loosening of moral bonds. A life of pleasure and even of licence was characteristic of the time. Impatience with the theological conception of life took a negative character, and Christianity was nowhere at such a low ebb as in Rome and the other cities of Northern Italy.
The second period of the Revival may be dated from the fall of the Eastern capital (1453), and the consequent dispersion
, of Greek scholars. This gave fresh life to the pursuit of ancient learning, just as Hellenic studies received a great impulse in ancient Rome after the fall of Corinth. The invention of printing also was a vital factor in securing the diffusion and permanence of Humanism, while the invention of the mariner's compass had a potent effect in extending the world-view. For more than a century, before and after the above date, men occupied themselves chiefly with Hellenic and Roman literature. Thereafter, the slowly growing vernacular and original literatures of Europe began to take form, and gradually to oust the ancients from exclusive possession. These continued to hold the field only in the schools. Art in painting and architecture continued to share in the general reawakening.
The second stream of the rebirth, anticipated by Wykliffe,
Huss, and Jerome of Prag, was the Religious. In this field of thought, man longed to see through form, dogma and ritual into the realities of the life of the soul. The Humanistic movement was thus closely allied with the theological, north of the Alps. In Italy, theology had been abjured and moral laxity had been the result. North of the Alps, however, there was always present a genuine feeling for the spiritual life, although the Courts of Princes had been largely Italianized. A longing for 'reality'in divine things, as opposed to mere dogmatic form, was conspicuous in the Mystics and in such men as Wessel, of whom both Erasmus and Luther speak in laudatory terms. But prior to him, Florentius Radewin, with the consent of his master, Gerard Groote", had founded the "Brothers of the Common Life" (Hieronymians), whose governing idea was life rather than doctrine, and who allied their religious aims with a restricted humanistic study. Florentius died in 1400, Wessel in 1489, and Thomas à Kempis in 1471. I name these men because the great intellectual and moral forces operating during the earlier portion of the second period are to be found chiefly north of the Alps, if we are to take a large view of the Renaissance. The pagan and unbelieving spirit among the Humanists of Italy was not shared by the Northern
With them, Humanism and a reformed Theology based on the original Gospels went hand in hand. There was no separation of the Humanistic and the Religious revivals; nor indeed, when Humanism at its first dawn was recognized by Catholic prelates in Italy, was it ever imagined that there could be any necessary antagonism.
The houses and schools of the "brethren of the common life" spread throughout the Netherlands, Germany and France. The central motive-force was a religious one—an attempt to return to a simple New Testament life. They had, as I have said above, a tendency to Mysticism. They were in fact Mystics, in so far as subjective feeling and an intense personal experience

Those without a high risk will be advised to improve their lifestyles — lose weight, eat healthy, exercise more, limit alcohol, avoid smoking. "It's not just throwing meds at something," said one primary care doctor who praised the new approach, the Mayo Clinic's Dr. Robert Stroebel. If people continue bad habits, "They can kind of eat and blow through the medicines," he said. The guidelines warn about some popular approaches, though. There's not enough proof that consuming garlic, dark chocolate, tea or coffee helps, or that yoga, meditation or other behavior therapies lower blood pressure long-term, they say.

Context: The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association announced new comprehensive guidelines for evaluating blood pressure Monday, November 13 that will drastically increase the number of Americans who have hypertension.
The committee that drafted the new guidelines lowered the blood pressure range of what is considered normal. That means people whose blood pressure used to be considered prehypertension, or high normal, will now be considered elevated blood pressure or stage 1 hypertension.
The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association estimate that the change will affect more than 31 million Americans.

Favorable forecast for sturgeon spearers on Winnebago System
Paul A. Smith
Relatively clear water has produced a good forecast for spearers for the 2021 lake sturgeon spearing season on the Winnebago System, according to the Department of Natural Resources.
Conditions are so good, in fact, for the first time in six years the harvest is likely to trigger a protective cap and end the season before the maximum 16 days.
"It's lining up to be quite favorable for spearers," said Ryan Koenigs, DNR sturgeon biologist.
The season opens Saturday and runs through Feb. 28 or closes earlier if a harvest cap is met.
Four primary factors affect sturgeon harvest: water clarity, ice conditions, fish population and spearing effort.
On the Winnebago System – lakes Winnebago, Butte des Morts, Poygan and Winneconne – the sturgeon population is large and slightly increasing, and participation by spearers is consistently high.
What changes most year-to-year are ice conditions and water clarity.
And Koenigs said water clarity is the biggest predictor of spearer success.
Last week it was looking better than average as DNR crews found 10 to 16 feet of visibility, with an average of 12 feet, in testing at sites around Lake Winnebago, Koenigs said.
Water was slightly clearer on the west and north of the lake.
Based on historical data, when water clarity is 12 feet or greater the sturgeon harvest is increased and the season typically shuts down before 16 days, Koenigs said.
Clarity last week also was good on the Upriver Lakes, according to the DNR.
Ice conditions have been variable this winter but improving in recent days. And with an Arctic blast of single digit temperatures descending on Wisconsin, the lakes will be making more ice leading up to the season.
The DNR does not offer ice reports or recommendations, but recommends spearers check with local fishing clubs or conservation groups for current information.
The clubs maintain ice roads and ice bridges on the lakes.
The 2021 season is the 90th consecutive sturgeon spearing season managed on the system by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (or its forerunner, the Wisconsin Conservation Commission).
It's one of only two winter fisheries for lake sturgeon in the U.S. The other is on Black Lake in Michigan.
The two fisheries are dramatically different, however. Black Lake typically has a quota of less than 10 fish and the season lasts just hours.
On the other hand, the Winnebago System contains one of the world's largest sturgeon populations, estimated at 18,400 adult females and 24,100 adult males, as well as an undetermined number of juvenile fish, according to the DNR.
System-wide harvest caps for the 2021 Winnebago system sturgeon spearing season are 430 juvenile females, 950 adult females and 1,200 males. The season is closed if one is reached.
Last year 891 sturgeon were registered by spearers and, for the fifth consecutive year, the season lasted the full 16 days. Water clarity was 7 to 10 feet.
Koenigs predicted the streak of 16-day seasons will end this year.
Due to poor gizzard shad hatches in recent years, sturgeon have been relying more on red worms and isopods for food. Areas of the lakes rich in these animals are likely to have higher numbers of sturgeon, Koenigs said.
As normal, regulations this year allow spearers to fish from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. Fish must be registered by 2 p.m. on the day it was speared.
Length, weight, sex and tagging information is collected from each registered fish to monitor the season harvest and contribute to sturgeon management.
About 12,200 spearing licenses have been sold, on par with recent seasons, according to the DNR.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, all sturgeon this year will be registered at public sites and in a "contactless" process.
The DNR has shifted the registration sites from the traditional bars and restaurants to nine boat landings, city parks and government buildings. Most of the sites are very close to the former locations.
Further, the registration stations will be operated as drive-through only. Spearers will be required to remain in their vehicles as agency staff collect, process and return the sturgeon.

MDS chameleonic
Celebrating 25 years in 2016, MDS is determined to show its more adult side, swapping sportswear for casual-sophisticated. The icing on the cake can be a growth of 11% in the first half of 2016 over the same period of 2015, with the domestic market giving the best boost to help blow out the candles.
Representing 70% of Mad Dragon Seeker (MDS) sales, Portugal continues to be the best market for the brand that has been positioning itself in a new segment, focusing on more sophisticated looks and gradually moving away from the sportswear footprint that once marked its presence.
Nobler raw materials and more differentiated products in details are now the main focus of MDS that, this summer, has as its bestsellers jumpsuits and dresses in women's ward and shirts and polo shirts in the male ward. «Right now, we have a much more comprehensive and much more chameleonic collection, because we can create more versatile pieces, i.e., can be used both on a daily basis, in a relaxed look, and can be used for a cocktail in a more formal way», says Daniel Simões, chief marketing officer of MDS, to Portugal Têxtil.
In the sales channels, multi-brand stores continue to be the main focus, but they are submitted to a more careful selection so that «the brand is in the ideal, referenced stores for the target that has been achieving».
With a turnover of 500,000 euros in 2015, the current year is already opening doors, with a new corner in Batalha city, surrounded by optimism, even because, as stated by Daniel Simões, it has been possible «to show in a more reliable way the brand concept and, at the same time, to increase its visibility».
MDS' direct sales will also have the company of the franchise network, which is planned but is still awaiting the opening of pilot stores in Lisbon and Oporto to serve as «support to the beginning of project», and the opening is scheduled for within two years. In the pilot phase it is also MDS' online store that, for the time being, only sells to Portugal.
Abroad, one of the target markets is France, which has met the brand's expectations. «Feedback is being great, we have received customer satisfaction demonstrations, with the quality and design of the product, the service we provide, the packaging service and deliveries … It has been very rewarding all the effort we are putting in this market», reveals the marketing director to Portugal Têxtil.
Alongside France, MDS also has distribution in Andorra and is in talks with Spain, Belgium and Finland, but, notes Daniel Simões, the brand will not neglect other countries where opportunities arise, as is the recent case of Finland.
Regarding the «confirmation and strengthening of markets», the presence at trade shows is also part of the brand's strategy to celebrate its 25 years, which in 2017 will be in fashion trade show Who's Next, in Paris.

There are 43 defined shoreline survey areas. To help find the map of your area, first view the overlay map of the entire lake. A 15-foot water depth line on each map identifies where most plant and animal species live.
We have compiled useful resources that will help guide you on how to determine if a plant or animal is invasive. You do not need to become an expert in plant or animal identification. Over time you will become familiar with the native plants and animals living in your area. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you suspect a plant or animal is invasive. We will visit your area to inspect any suspicious species. If you would like a binder containing pictures and helpful plant identification information, please stop by the LSPA Learning Center.
Some volunteers prefer to snorkel or swim while others use an aqua-scope (see photo, right). Aqua-scopes are available on loan from LSPA and may be used from a kayak or other watercraft. The aqua-scope is a 2-foot long, 4-inch wide tube that you look through to more easily see below the water surface. Polarized sunglasses are another useful tool because they improve your visibility when surveying from a small watercraft. It doesn't matter what method you use as long as it is consistent and thorough.
The area that is surveyed is entirely up to the volunteer. Some volunteers cover the entire survey area while others concentrate on smaller sections of the shoreline as identified on the maps. Depending on the size of the area, there are different strategies you can use to insure adequate coverage such as swimming/boating in a zigzag or radial pattern. If you have a partner, covering an area side by side (parallel formation from shoreline) is also effective.
Surveying is best done during the months of July, August and early September. Two - three surveys are preferred because some plant communities can grow rapidly over the short growing season. If you spot a suspicious plant or animal, mark the area with a floating marker (LSPA can provide you one if needed) and notify LSPA so we can come out and have a look. If you don't have a marker try to use shoreline landmarks in your description to us. A floating marker can be made by tying a heavy object (large metal bolt, cored brick, etc.) to a piece of colored foam or other buoyant object.
Some volunteers familiar with native plants and animals will note which species they have seen and write down observations, such as the water clarity, while surveying. This is not necessary but is helpful to LSPA for historical purposes. Submitting a report once a month (July, August, September) with the final one sent in by September 30 is an important step because it helps LSPA keep track of what areas have been surveyed and where we need to focus our efforts.

PREVIEW: EDM @ CGY
Features September 2, 2018
Ryan Dittrick
They're the two sweetest words in the Canadian Football lexicon.
Labour Day.
The Stampeders look to expand their West Division lead on the second-place Edmonton Eskimos as the storied rivalry between these two provincial counterparts renews Monday in the annual showdown at McMahon Stadium.
"I look forward to this every year," said Joshua Bell, the first-year DB coach who joined the Stamps in 2014 and is on a personal four-game winning streak.
"I have just one precious memory of my experience in these games: winning.
"I can't remember any of the plays in any of the games…
"I just remember that we usually dominate."
The Stamps have won six in a row and eight of the past 10 Labour Day matchups, outscoring the Eskimos 287 to 174 in the process.
Even so, the Stamps aren't taking their opponent lightly.
"Edmonton has held serve pretty well," Bell said.
"We only have a two-game lead and guess what? We're playing 'em back to back at a time of the year when anything can happen."
First-year running back Don Jackson, who has 488 yards and two touchdowns on the ground this year, will be making his Labour Day debut. Until now, he's only heard of what makes this game so special, and how the intense, playoff-like atmosphere at McMahon is unlike any other in the CFL.
"We want to come out here, have some fun and embrace the game for what it is," he said.
"It's a big game; packed house. We (approach) it like that and we want to come out with the win.
"I've got full faith in my guys. We're focused right now."
The Stamps are a perfect 5-0 at home, 8-1 on the year, and are coming off a dominant 39-26 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers that saw Bo Levi Mitchell throw for a career high 452 yards and three touchdowns, and slotback Kamar Jorden set a new Stamps record for yards in a single game with an incredible 249 through the air.
As a result, Jorden was named one of the CFL's Top Performers for the month for August and is now second among receivers with 895 yards.
The 6-4 Eskimos, meanwhile, have lost two of their last three, including last week's 25-24 defeat at the hands at the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who won the game on a last-second field goal by Lirim Hajrullahu.
Despite their struggles of late, the Eskimos remain a formidable foe, led by the CFL's reigning MOP Mike Reilly on offence. They boast two of the top three receivers in the game, with second-year wideout Duke Williams leading all ball-grabbers with 947 yards through 10 games.
Veteran slotback Derek Walker sits third with 875 yards, and his eight touchdowns are tops in the league.
"It definitely feels good to get up top with those two," Jorden said.
"I've never been in this situation of playing in a game with the top receivers or anything like that, so I guess it adds extra (incentive).
"But at the end of the day, we just want to win the game."
According to linebacker Alex Singleton, the long week has been a benefit to the Stamps as they study up on their rival's tendencies. The key, he says, is making the Eskimos' offence "one dimensional" by forcing Reilly to scramble and throw the predictable deep ball.
Singleton, who sacked Reilly in last year's LDC, can hardly wait for kickoff and all the pre-game pageantry that comes with this great Canadian tradition.
"You get that chill down your spine," he said.
"With the flyover and everything for this game, it's pretty special."

South Africa's University of Cape Town consistently ranks as one of the best on the continent, and is globally respected along with the other African institutions of higher learning discussed herein.
The University of Cape Town is one of Africa's world-leading universities.
Africa is well known around the world for many things. Among them are its wealth of natural resources, rich cultural heritage, and, arguably best of all, amazing ecological attractions. However, the continent has made a name for itself in another field for the past few decades, and that has been in the realm of higher education. Currently, there are dozens of universities spread all over Africa, which provide Africans with a chance of getting a good quality higher education, thus transforming them into valuable members of the society.
Makerere University is located on Makerere Hill in Uganda's capital city of Kampala. It was founded in 1922, making it one of the oldest higher learning institutions in Africa. Initially, it was just a technical school designed to offer courses in building, carpentry and mechanics. However, it now offers a broad range of higher education courses in various disciplines such as medicine, agriculture, business studies, veterinary science, engineering, and education. Makerere University is one of the most prestigious universities in Africa, which has managed to produce notable alumni such as Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o Kenyan novelist, Mwai Kibaki, former president of Kenya, Patrick Mazimhaka, Julius Nyerere, former president of Tanzania, Oginga Odinga politician, and many others.
The University of Ghana, which was established in 1948, is the oldest institution of higher learning in Ghana. It is based in the town of Legon, approximately 12 kilometers from Ghana's capital, Accra. The University of Ghana has a student enrollment of approximately 40,000. Initially, it focused on offering liberal arts, social sciences, agriculture, and medicine courses. However, it has since expanded its curriculum to include technology-based courses. The university also has a graduate school for nuclear and allied sciences, making it one of the few African universities that offer nuclear physics courses.
The University of Nairobi was one of the leading pioneers of higher education in Kenya. It was established in 1956 as the Royal Technical College, but it did not become a full-fledged, independent university until 1970. It is located in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, but it has several other campuses around the country. As one of the oldest universities in Kenya, the University of Nairobi is a prestigious institution that has produced famous alumni such as William Ruto, a Kenyan Deputy President, Willy Mutunga, a former Chief Justice of Kenya, Wangari Mathai, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and several others.
The University of Marrakech Cadi Ayyad, also known as the Cadi Ayyad University, is one of the major institutions of higher learning in Morocco. Located in Marrakesh, the university was established in 1978, and it is one of the youngest universities in Africa. It has one of the highest enrollment rates in Africa, currently boasting of about 70,000 students, out of whom 700 are international students. It has 13 institutions, which offer a variety of courses in disciplines such as science, human sciences, law, economic and social sciences, applied sciences, commerce, technology, and most notably, astronomy.
The University of Ibadan is one oldest university in Nigeria, having been founded in 1932 as Yaba College. It is located about 8 kilometers away from the city of Ibadan and is made up of 12 faculties that offer various courses in medicine, arts, agriculture and forestry, education, technology, law, public health, science, pharmacy, dentistry, social sciences, and veterinary medicine. As one of the most prestigious higher learning institution in Nigeria, the University has produced several famous alumni such as Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Emeka Anyaoku (the Commonwealth Secretary-General), and several others.
Cairo University is one of the premier African universities, having been founded in 1908. Despite its name, the university's main campus is located in the city of Giza, about 5 kilometers away from Cairo. It has one of the largest enrollments in Africa, with about 155,000 students taking courses in 22 faculties. Notable alumni from the University include Mohamed Morsi (a former Egyptian president), Boutros Boutros-Ghali (a former United Nations Secretary General), and Nobel Prize winners Mohamed ElBaradei, Yasser Arafat, and Naguib Mahfouz.
The University of Cape Town is one of the top higher learning institutions in all of Africa, commanding respect both on the continental and international level. Founded in 1829, it is the oldest university in South Africa, and one of the premier higher learning institutions in Africa. Ranked as the best African university by several ranking organizations, the University of Cape Town is one of the most prestigious universities in Africa, and it has produced several famous alumni, including Ralph Bunche, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

The Ripple of Random Kindness: A Story About my Father, Pavlé Nikitovich
Many years ago, Pavlé Nikitovich, my father, saved four Frenchman he had never met before from a Russian death squad. It was a random act of kindness, perhaps a foolhardy act of heroism, but an act that rippled down through time and saved generations of unborn children.
As World War II drew to a close, the Soviets invaded Yugoslavia, which had already endured three years of brutal German occupation. After a two-day battle, the Soviets took Belgrade and soon drafted all able-bodied Yugoslav men into the Communist army. Just nineteen, my father walked the docks of Belgrade's port on the Danube with the other recruits and watched as the Soviets forced the Germans, now prisoners-of-war, to unload Russian ships arriving from the Black Sea.
Sometimes the Soviet soldiers would pass around a bottle of vodka and play a macabre little game. They would force the German prisoners to walk up the plank to one of the ships while they took turns shooting. The officers cheered when one of them managed to hit a German in the head on his first try. As the body hit the water, the soldiers would laugh and toast the winner with another shot of vodka.
When a new batch of prisoners arrived, the Russian Communists would select the prisoners who had been there the longest and send them off to the firing squad in order to make room for their replacements.
My father had already witnessed what happened to German prisoners-of-war. On the day the Soviets marched into Belgrade, he watched from the window of his family's apartment as more than 300 vanquished Germans walked up to a table where a Soviet soldier armed with a Kalashnikov stood above them and shot them one-by-one through the head. When the pile of dead bodies grew too big, the Russians would move the table. The Communist soldiers, wearing red armbands, then ordered a dozen young local men, including my father, to pick up the dead bodies and throw them into trenches in front of the church. In groups of four, they lifted the cadavers by the arms and legs and dumped them into the trenches, ignoring the brains spilling from shattered skulls and the blood gushing onto their hands and shoes.
But what my father remembered most clearly were the pictures and letters sliding from the left-side pockets of the dead soldiers' uniforms when the bodies bounced and shifted, mementos placed on their hearts to remind them of love and give them courage as they bravely walked to their deaths. My father understood then that the German soldiers were just young men like him, obeying the orders of one dictator only to be murdered by the orders of another. There were no longer good guys and bad guys in those confusing post-war days, merely one horror following another.
It was before a scheduled execution day in October of 1944 that a young man in a German uniform approached my father and asked him if he spoke French. Why he asked Pavlé and not one of the other Yugoslav guards is a mystery. Perhaps he had tried others only to receive a blank stare in response. In any case, this was his lucky day. My father spoke fluent French.
Pavlé listened as the man, Pierre Ambiehl, explained that he and his three buddies were French, not German, and had been drafted into the German army after the Nazis occupied and annexed the French province of Alsace. Taken prisoners by the Soviets, they ended up on the docks of Belgrade awaiting death by firing squad. Since none of them spoke Russian, they had no way of telling the Soviets they were French, and thus allies, not enemies. They were scheduled to die the very next day, and Pierre pleaded for Pavlé to help them.
Vowing to try, my father went to a Russian soldier he had befriended and told him about the Frenchmen's plight. The Russian said that since the four had fought with the Germans against his countrymen, they deserved to die. But Pavlé somehow managed to persuade him to ask his Soviet superiors to delay their execution by a few days.
Then he did what only the young, the fearless and arguably the foolish would do. He snuck out of the military zone with the French identity cards of all four men and walked to the French embassy, where General Charles de Gaulle had established a delegation.
The next morning, two French officials came to the port with all the necessary documents to free the Frenchmen. Right before they left, one of the embassy envoys had the foresight to take a photo of the four liberated friends flanking their hero, my father, a handsome young man with a dark mustache and a hesitant smile.
Pierre Ambiehl kept that photo for sixty-five years, knowing only the name of the young man in the middle, Pavlé Nikitovich. Now 84, Pierre asked his son André if he would help him fulfill his dream: to find the hero who had saved his life so he could thank him.
As serendipity would have it, André had worked at the Peugeot factory in Alsace for many years alongside his Serbian friend, Stanko Yotsitch, who subsequently moved back to Serbia. He asked Yotsitch to help him in his search. Yotstich told the story to journalist Mirko Prelevitch, who then wrote about it in Belgrade's "Novosti" newspaper, asking readers to contact him if they knew what had happened to Pavlé Nikitovich, the man in the photograph.
Meanwhile, a few months after the Frenchmen were freed, my father and his sister managed to obtain fake documents and escape, first to Italy, then to France, and eventually to the United States. After a few false leads, and a little help from Google, Prelevitch finally found a Paul Nikitovich living in Englewood, Colorado. When my father received Prelevitch's call and heard the story, he was stunned. While Pierre Ambiehl had lived with the memory his whole life, my father had forgotten the incident until that moment. His brave and generous gesture had truly been a random act of kindness, the kind that changes lives forever, even though at the time it had not registered as heroism to a young man who was merely following his human instinct to help those in need.
The story doesn't end there. André Ambiehl invited my father to come visit the family in Alsace. He flew to France, and on October 27, 2010, attended a special ceremony for World War II veterans in Ensisiem, Alsace. Pavlé Nikitovich and Pierre Ambiehl were the guests of honor, two men whose destinies had crossed decades before and sent ripples into a future that would not have been possible otherwise.
My father recently celebrated his 89th birthday. André and his wife have visited him in Colorado several times, and he speaks to them and Pierre often. By choosing to help a stranger, Pavlé Nikitovich left a legacy of life, love, respect and gratitude. And he did it neither for personal gain nor to show off nor to curry favor with his captors. He did it because he is just that kind of man.

Beautiful Dancer
Passion is a gift, one that lends grace and meaning to life. It doesn't matter what someone has a true passion for — art, dance, music, writing, science, sports, charity, politics, or even another person – it is the passion itself that transforms a journey into a quest.
Too impatient to wait for her due date, my sister, Vesna, arrived suddenly and full of passion in the back seat of a patrol car, summoned in panic by our mother. "Please don't do this to me, lady," the officer begged. "Please wait!"
Everything Vesna did as a child was intense, focused and all consuming. She didn't have bad dreams, she had nightmares. She didn't play with dolls, she chopped off their hair and redid their wardrobes with our cut-up curtains. She didn't walk, she ran and twirled and jumped, a graceful sprite, who, if she fell, got up again with bleeding knees and kept right on going.
When she discovered ballet, her passion blossomed into an obsession. After school, she would head straight to ballet class. On days without a scheduled class, she would practice in our shared bedroom in her satiny pink toe-shoes, lifting a leg to her ear or balancing on one foot with the other foot pointing behind her, straight up to the sky. While I was going out with boys and getting into trouble on weekends, Vesna was taking the bus to New York City for more and more advanced classes. At night, she would do her homework and wash her tights no matter how tired she was.
I liked to watch my sister sleep: the perfect pale skin, the full lips, the lids of her big brown eyes trembling in dream. Her light brown hair, pulled in a tight bun during the day, flowed in waves around her long neck and thin shoulders. She was so very beautiful.
Our father made her attend Barnard College, even though by then she was apprenticing with American Ballet Theatre. She made it through a year before she stood up to him and declared, "I only want to dance." College was holding her back from her true passion.
At night, Vesna worked as a waitress. An armed robber once broke into the restaurant and locked all the employees in the freezer. "Weren't you scared?" I asked her. "No," she said with utmost sincerity, "I was too worried that I wouldn't have time to wash my tights!"
Her passion for dance led to a position with the Hamburg Opera Ballet under John Neumeier, whom she revered. She moved to Germany and toured with the company, but her body, always frail and prone to injury, began to betray her. For a year, she wore a back brace when she wasn't on stage. She continued to dance no matter how severe the pain until, one sad day, she realized she no longer could. She was not yet thirty.
Married and settled for good in Hamburg, Vesna turned to Pilates, which she had discovered to be an antidote to the injuries common to dancers. She flew back to New York and trained with the formidable Romana Kryzanowska, successor to Joseph Pilates himself. Vesna's Pilates studio, Studio fur Korper Training, was the first one in Hamburg. In the mornings, she would get on her bicycle, rain or shine, with her brown Labrador alongside, and ride to work with a smile on her face. She loved helping others get well, sometimes at her own detriment, lifting and crouching and bending and adjusting bodies for hours on end.
Vesna also became an avid sailor. She and her husband sailed the Baltic Sea in their boat, cruising around the islands of Denmark every summer. But just knowing how to sail wasn't good enough for her. She had to prove herself and earn her captain's license, too. After her son grew too big to be safely restrained while sailing, they sold their boat and bought a vacation home in Southwestern France.
Although she loved Pilates and sailing, nothing could replace her passion for dance. Nothing, that is, until she discovered dressage, the art of dancing on a horse. Vesna trained every day until she was skilled enough to compete. She bought one horse, then another, and drove to the country early in the mornings, sometimes in freezing rain or snow, to ride them and care for them.
I saw Vesna compete only once. In her black top hat and fitted jacket, her back straight and her lovely face lifted, she looked so graceful and composed, so calm and connected, that tears filled my eyes. My beautiful sister was dancing again.
The back problems that had plagued her earlier grew more and more painful until doctors told her the only solution was to insert a metal rod along her lower spine to hold the vertebrae in place. Then her right leg began to hurt. When I saw her in 1997, she shuffled forward in tiny steps, smiling through the pain. A hip replacement followed. Then another.
Still, Vesna kept riding, fearless and determined. When her husband retired, they took the horses and moved to their house in France, where she had installed a stable and a state-of-the-art riding ring. She hired no one to help her, hauling hay, cleaning the stables and exercising her horses every day. One day last month, during a dressage maneuver, her horse balked and she fell hard, harder than she had ever fallen before.
Vesna said she cried out for help but no one heard her. After what felt like forever to her, she crawled back to her horse, managed to get on, and rode back to the stable. I asked her why. "Because," she said, "If you don't get back on right away, you'll be too afraid to ever ride again."
Four weeks went by. Doctors said not to worry, that her leg couldn't be broken if she could still walk on it. They obviously did not know her… She flew to Germany for a reunion of the Hamburg Opera Ballet. In ever-mounting pain, she finally went for an x-ray. Her right leg was broken clear through the thighbone, just two inches above where her implant ended. She would have to have another hip replacement.
On crutches, Vesna attended the anniversary performance of the Hamburg Opera Ballet just days before her operation. John Neumeier came over to chat with her at the after-party. "You always told me I needed to dance more with my legs than my heart," she reminded him. "Now I have nothing left but my heart."
And that heart, full of passion and determination, will carry her through her recovery and back to her beloved horses. No matter what anyone tells her. No matter what the risk. No matter how long it takes.

Home Money, Politics and Power A Bumper Crop of Pot Referenda
A Bumper Crop of Pot Referenda
Will this be the year a state legalizes recreational marijuana or medical marijuana arrives in the South?
by Abby Rapoport
In the halls of state legislatures, few folks laugh at the exploits of Cheech and Chong or Harold and Kumar. There is a bipartisan consensus that marijuana laws are political kryptonite, as if touching the topic of drug legalization, even medicinally, might prompt immediate backlash. The lack of mainstream support is surprising, given that sizeable groups in both parties have long clamored for an end to the "War on Drugs." Some drug war critics point to the costs, both societal and budgetary, associated with imprisoning millions of people for a crime that doesn't seem to hurt anyone. Others like the fiscal possibilities for marijuana legalization: If pot is legal, it will be taxable, and at a time when state governments are starved for cash, any possibility for new revenue is an opportunity.
Though mainstream lawmakers remain reluctant, citizens seem to be warming to the idea of marijuana as something other than an illegal substance. (Maybe stoner movies have had some success.) A 2011 Gallup poll showed, for the first time, 50 percent of Americans supporting marijuana legalization. More recently, a May 2012 Rasmussen poll found that 56 percent of Americans support treating marijuana "similar to alcohol and tobacco" in terms of regulation. With disparate but significant political support, marijuana is ripe for direct democracy.
This year, six different states will put marijuana legislation in the hands of voters. In Montana, Massachusetts, and Arkansas, the question will simply be about permitting and regulating medical marijuana, increasingly common around the country. Three other state ballots, however-Colorado, Washington, and Oregon-will ask the more radical question: whether marijuana should be legal for recreational use. Voters have never before supported a legalization initiative, but polling shows Washington's measure likely to succeed. Marijuana will still be illegal by federal law, and in particular, those selling pot, even if they're abiding by state laws, could face DEA agents. But building support in states will help move the national conversation, and in that respect, it could still be a landmark year for the small, green plant.
Legalizing Recreational Marijuana
Over the years, there's been no shortage of ballot initiatives aimed at recreational legalization. Just two years ago, California's Prop 19, an especially well-publicized effort, failed. In Alaska, California, and Nevada, such initiatives have failed more than once. Voters in both Oregon and Colorado, who will vote on measures this year, have already voted down popular initiatives to legalize marijuana in the past. Oregon did so in 1986 and Colorado, more recently, in 2006. But public support for medical marijuana continues to grow, as has national support for marijuana legalization. Eighteen states have legalized medical marijuana, and 11 did so through the initiative process. Marijuana advocates are hoping voters are now coming to embrace total legalization.
In Washington State, the coalition of pro-pot voices has been particularly successful in building support. A September poll from Survey USA showed 57 percent of likely voters supported the measure. Some of that support undoubtedly comes from the economic message supporters have put out. The measure would create a 25 percent tax that could raise $2 billion over five years. It also includes restrictions: no smoking in public and a limit of the amount of THC in blood (the marijuana version of a blood-alcohol level.) Thanks largely to three six-figure gifts, Washington's pro-marijuana front has raised more than $3 million, using the money to launch, among other things, an early television campaign.
Colorado's supporters have also successfully created a coalition with those across the political spectrum. On the right, former congressman and presidential candidate Tom Tancredo, most famous for his virulent rhetoric against undocumented workers, has supported the initiative, while on the left, Melissa Etheridge, an outspoken advocate on a variety of progressive political issues from environmental regulation and gay rights, has crooned her support. The campaign has raised over $1 million, mostly from billionaire Peter Lewis. But the law, which would allow up to one ounce of marijuana to be used and owned by anyone over 21, and permit the drug to be bought and sold at regulated retail stores, doesn't enjoy the same level of support as the Washington initiative. The latest poll from the University of Denver showed that support had dipped below 50 percent; 48 percent of likely voters supported the measure while 43 opposed it.
In Oregon, the initiative is a long shot. Though state voters (like those in Washington and Colorado) have already approved medicinal marijuana, the Oregonians are skittish about the actual business side of things. While it's legal to possess and use marijuana in the state, voters have rejected initiatives to legalize buying the drug for medicinal reasons just two years ago. A September poll from Survey USA showed only 37 percent of likely voters supported the measure, compared with 41 percent who disapproved. (Twenty-two percent were undecided.) Controversy around the sponsor of the measure, who has pleaded guilty to income tax evasion, has further sullied the push. And while big money has poured into Washington and Colorado to help the campaigns, donors have largely bypassed Oregon, according to The Oregonian.
Legalizing Medical Marijuana
The three state measures regulating marijuana for medical use are less radical and all seem to have reasonable likelihood of success. Since 1996, when California first allowed medical marijuana, the concept has been extremely popular with voters-of the 12 states that have had such initiatives on the ballot, only South Dakota has rejected measures to legalize medical marijuana. The advocates of these health care measures, often representing those struggling with cancer or chronic illness, stand in contrast of young skateboarding college students one might imagine fervently advocating these policies. Regardless of who winds up with a prescription, medicinal marijuana is an easier political sell, and, as it spreads, people are getting pretty used to it. According to Jennie Bowser, a specialist on ballot measures at the National Conference of State Legislatures, this year's medical marijuana measures should likewise do well: "History tells us that it's likely that the legalization measures won't pass in all states if they pass anywhere," she says. But "it's likely that the medical marijuana measures will pass."
Interestingly, Montana voters already approved one such measure-and now must effectively vote on it once more. In 2004, voters approved a plan to legalize and regulate medicinal marijuana. But in 2010, the state legislature repealed that set of regulations, replacing them with more restrictive legislation. Critics now have a popular referendum on the ballot that will allow voters to reject the legislature's action and go back to the 2004 law. It looks like they'll succeed in the effort; an October 11 poll from Public Policy Polling (PPP) showed 44 percent of voters favored the measure while 30 percent were against. There's still time for things to change-more than a quarter of respondents weren't sure where they stood.
Massachusetts looks even more likely to pass its medical marijuana measure. The state has already de-criminalized marijuana possession. The ballot initiative, according to another October 11 poll from PPP, showed 57 percent of likely voters supported the measure, and only 31 percent disapproved.
The fate of Arkansas' initiative is less clear. This is the first time such a measure has been on the ballot in a Southern state. The South has traditionally had tougher drug laws, and it's not legal to use marijuana medicinally anywhere in the region. Legalization advocates hope a victory in Arkansas will be the beginning of a regional shift. So far, however, it's hard to tell what will happen; there's a dearth of polling on the measure. We may not know until November 7 whether the push for medical marijuana has entered Dixieland.
I can think of one way they can celebrate.

Q: How to install ZeroMQ on Windows 10? I need to install ZeroMQ (libzmq) on windows 10 which is running on a VirtualBox. On their official website there are zip files for Visual Studio but on their github they mentioned that Windows10 is not supported.
I downloaded the zip file of "Visual Studio 15 2017 x64" and also installed cygwin and cmake but when I try to install it via cmake I get: The source directory does not appear to contain CMakeList.txt. This is true but there is a zmq.h inside that directory which I thought I should install via cmake. I also tried make exactly how I do it in linux with C files but that one also didn't work.
I have to mention that I don't want to use the ZMQ in Visual Studio. I need to connect a python program running in the host linux to Metatrader via ZMQ and the method that I am following (https://github.com/darwinex/DarwinexLabs/tree/master/tools/dwx_zeromq_connector/v2.0.1#installation) needs libzmq to be installed.
Can someone please help me with installing ZMQ on Windows10 either via cmake or Visual Studio?

Words by Kevin Doocey on November 19, 2014 .
Newcastle United are ready to strengthen their forward line with the signing of Anderlecht's Aleksandar Mitrovic for a fee in the region of £10m - according to the Telegraph. Our senior striker, Papiss Cissé, has enjoyed a mixed start to the 2014⁄15 season, with injuries dominating the headlines. A recurring knee injury has kept the Senegalese international out of action for the past month, and although young Ayoze Perez has been filled the void more than sufficiently, head scout Graham Carr and manager Alan Pardew want another striker in the door as soon as possible. The number one target, according to the aforementioned publication, is Mitrovic, who has been in fine form with Anderlecht since joining last year. However, as with any player NUFC look to sign, there are a number of other top European clubs keeping tabs on the Serbian — hardly surprising considering his goal scoring form in Belgium.
The club failed to strengthen a weakened forward line last summer, with priority target Alexandre Lacazette agreeing to stay put for another season at least, despite a number of bids from Tyneside. As anyone will know, unless they've been hiding under a rock the past three months, Lacazette has been blistering form for Lyon, and our chances of landing him seem to be shrinking by the day.
Anyway, what about Aleksandar Mitrovic? For those of you that have watched the Serbian in action, you will know that he's a born goalscorer. In fact, many of you will remember Arsenal three goal collapse against Anderlecht in the Champions League just weeks ago - it was Mitrovic who scored the equaliser, with a fine header under a stern challenge.
£10m is rumoured to be the amount which will prise Aleksandar away from the Belgian champions, and if past forwards from the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium are anything to go by, such an outlay may be a very wise investment indeed.
The last time Newcastle considered delving into other markets aside from France for a marquee forward, the club passed up on signing a certain Wilfried Bony, reportedly because the NUFC staff were unsure if he could adapt to the Premier League — imagine that?!
We need a striker, there is little doubt about that, and Mitrovic most certainly fits the bill, however, is it a step too soon to attempt lure the Serbian across the channel at just 20 years of age?
Comments welcome as always folks and feel free to follow me on Twitter @KevinDoocey.
He did indeed — I always get the Jupiler & The Eredivisie mixed up. Thanks for pointing that out. Amended.
I don't think the club ever fancied dishing out £17m for an 18 year-old somehow!
If you read it properly he said delve into other markets aside from France nowt about bony coming from Belgium league.
There was an initial typo which has been since fixed — tjshawsey was as sharp as a razor to it!
Ashley sell newcastle and buy France fc if he dosent like spending money here!

Ivy Tech dedicates classroom in honor of late professor Keith Klein
Ivy Tech Community College's Bloomington campus hosted a dedication event to honor late professor Keith Klein on Jan. 25, the one-year anniversary of his passing. Classroom D206 in the Connie and Steve Ferguson Academic building was dedicated to honor his memory and legacy of giving. Friends, colleagues, and community associates from Ivy Tech, Indiana University, WTIU/WFIU, DeMolay, Kiwanis, and Rotary gathered for the event.
"Classroom D206 was 'his' classroom," Chancellor Jennie Vaughan said. "Whenever he held a communication course, this was the room he reserved. It is an honor for us to remember our friend by dedicating it in his name."
An inaugural Faculty Advisory Council Legacy Award was also presented, posthumously, which recognizes faculty who make extraordinary contributions to the Bloomington campus over a prolonged period of time.
Last year, the campus dedicated Spring Semester 2021 in honor of Klein, who was a long-time colleague, college-supporter, and student advocate. An Honorary Associate Degree was awarded posthumously at Commencement. The campus also established a fully-endowed scholarship in his name, the "Keith Klein Memorial Endowed Scholarship," in direct support of Ivy Tech Bloomington students. Other honors include a dedicated tree on campus property.
"May we all be inspired by Keith's memory to be a bit kinder, greet strangers as friends, and express our appreciation aloud and often," Vaughan said. "All of us knew what an incredibly giving, caring person Keith was, always working to make our community and world a better place for everyone."

Q: What is the Psi(x) variable binding operator? In the Free Variable article on Wikipedia, it lists these:

as variable-binding operators. I have seen all of them during my math studies, except for the psi operator. What does $\psi x$ mean in this context?

A: I don't know what was intended by $\psi$ here, but some Wikipedia archaeology reveals that it was introduced in this edit, and the same user tried to remove it again one minute later. They made a mess out of the removal, and Michael Hardy undid the mess, leaving in the $\psi x$ with no explanation. None is likely forthcoming, because the user who added the $\psi x$, back in August 2008, has not been back to Wikipedia since.
In short, it is most likely a piece of Wikipedia nonsense. Unless someone posts  a definitive answer here, I will shortly remove the $\psi x$ from the Wikipedia article.
As a consolation prize, here are some other variable binding operators you may not be familiar with, which are not in the Wikipedia article:

*

*Robin Milner's $\pi$-calculus uses "$\nu x. F$" to denote an expression F in which $x$ is instantiated to a "new" variable that has never been used before within the scope of the current computation.

*Whitehead and Russell use "$\iota x.\Phi(x)$" to denote the unique $x$ satisfying some description $\Phi(x)$.  For example, "$\iota x. x$ is the King of Swaziland" is an expression denoting the King of Swaziland.

*Hilbert used "$\epsilon x.\phi(x)$" to denote "some value for which $\phi$ is true". That is, for any property $\phi$, if $\exists v.\phi(x)$ is true,then so is $\phi(\epsilon x.\phi(x))$.

*Similarly, Hilbert used $\mu x.\phi(x)$ to denote the smallest natural number for which $\phi$ is true.

*Category theorists often use $\exists!x.\phi(x)$ as an abbreviation for $\exists x\forall y.\phi(x) \land (\phi(y)\implies y=x)$, or some equivalent variation of it. It says that there is exactly one $x$ for which $\phi(x)$ holds.

Commonly-used quantifiers that do not seem to have any standard compact notation include "almost everywhere" and "all but finitely many".

A: My first impulse in seeing '$\varphi x$' is to read it as a variation on the logical schema ('$\varphi(x)$', '$F x$', etc.), which, if that was the intented meaning, should, I believe, preclude it from a list of variable-binding operators. I would vote up for removal from the article if I could.

Man dies after being hit by train on line linking Cairo to Egypt's new capital
Services between the Badr and New Heliopolis stations were halted for an hour after the incident

A man has died after being struck by a train on the recently opened line that will connect Cairo with Egypt's New Administrative Capital, 45km to the east.
According to reports, the man had thrown himself into the path of an oncoming train on Tuesday.
Services between Badr and New Heliopolis stations on the new Cairo Light Rail Transit system were suspended for a short time while authorities removed the body, said Egypt's National Authority for Tunnels and RATP Dev, the French company that operates and maintains Cairo's third metro line.
RATP Dev said buses were brought in to take passengers to their destinations.
Egyptian family of four killed by train as they crossed tracks
It said trains were running again within an hour.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, LRT staff told local news outlets.
The LRT opened in July, one of many megaprojects constructed by Egypt's government in recent years.
Passenger numbers have been low, in part because of relatively high ticket prices of its tickets — with a charge of $1.80 for the longest journey.
The line cost $1.24 billion to build and has become the subject of some controversy, fuelling debate about government spending and criticism of mounting debt.
The first phase of the LRT consists of 12 stations over a 70km route heading east out of Cairo.
When completed, the train will reach all the way to the New Administrative Capital, another controversial new development, and span a length of 100km, with 19 stations.


A demonstrator wears a skull mask with messages that read in Spanish: "Venezuelans die of hunger, Venezuela agonizes" during a protest in Caracas in January.
THE RUBBISH BIN truck brakes and desperate teen Rebeca Leon runs up to root hungrily through the bin bags.
"My mom is putting weight back on now because I have been searching for food like this," she says.
Rebeca has been doing it for six months as inflation and shortages have worsened. When the school day finishes, she heads to Caracas's posher districts to pick up what richer citizens have thrown away.
And 1.5 million are living on food given to them or found in bins, says one of the report's authors, nutritionist Maritza Landaeta.
Nearly 52% of the population lives in extreme poverty, says the study by a group of universities.
Seven out of 10 people in the country have lost weight — 8.7 kilograms on average.
"I used to cry because I felt humiliated. But I don't care about that any more," she says.
If you don't have a job, and you don't look in the bins, then you don't eat.
"One night, we had to go to bed without eating. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. The children were crying: 'I'm hungry," he says.
I sold my tools and everything, and in the end I came out searching in the streets. There are thousands of us living off garbage.
Supermarkets sell rations of food and household supplies. But even at state-subsidised prices they are unaffordable for many.
The International Monetary Fund estimates that inflation will reach 1,660% this year.
His government has been targeting bags of subsidised goods at poor areas. He says the that will help millions of households this year.
"Sometimes you do, and sometimes you don't — at least not today. Today it went badly," she says.
There she will study alongside schoolmates who sometimes "faint from hunger," she says.

The Korean cushion style foundation craze has definitely sparked big western cosmetic companies here in the US and Europe to stop and take notice. In order for these company's to remain competitive against the strongly established "cushion" category in the Asian Beauty world, I think we are going to see the rise of US and European brands releasing their versions of the cult classic cushion foundation. Cushion foundations are beginning to pop up lately everywhere like the Lancome's Miracle Cushion, Pur Minerals' Air Perfection Compact Cushion and brand store brands like Physician's Formula All-In-1 ABC Cushion and the new L'Oreal True Match Lumi Cushion.
Here you can clearly see that the puff applicator is a bit smaller. The puff is also less dense as both the Iope and Innisfree. This makes the application less air brushed, elegant and smooth in my opinion.
As you can see from the display, I picked up the N-2 and C-3 to try out and review. These two colors are the lightest shades available for my neutral to cool skin tone. I would like to point out that this does not contain any sun protection!
I love that L'Oreal offers a large array of shades although as you can see above, the lightest shade in the both the Cool and Neutral category are too dark from my N 10-15 skin tone :( As you can see above, I applied the color N-2 on one side of my face. The formula has a soft, slightly creamy, non oily texture that is super easy to blend. The coverage appears around the medium range and this is definitely buildable. This did do a decent job at covering my post acne scars but unfortunately the color just doesn't work!
The case itself is cheap looking. The design label on the top of the case is just a sticker but I do like the rose gold color on the top portion of the case. However, the case itself scratches easily.
No refills is another negative. It just seems so wasteful. Since the rose gold color case scratches easily, it might be a good thing that after you are done you can just toss it.
Scent...I am glad to report that this has no detectable scent :) This is a huge plus for me and those sensitive to fragrance.
Again, this cushion foundation has no SPF.
As you can see from the display pictures above, the L'Oreal True Match Lumi Cushion retails for $16.99 USD. Not super cheap for a cushion you just throw away went it runs out. On the flip side, it is more wallet friendly compared to the Iope cushion or some other higher end Asian beauty brands. I feel that I would rather spend a little more money on a nicer, more scratch resistant case that offer refills.
It's safe to say that I am a little disappointed in the shade range for those of use pale girls out there! I do hope that L'Oreal will end up seeing that there is a huge market and need for offering fair shades and will expand the color selection in the future. The N-2 is close but it is still too dark and a little too yellow. I do like the finish of this cushion as it is true to its name and does leave a luminous finish without looking oily. Dewy is the word! I can't speak to how this formula wears throughout the day because I did not feel comfortable wearing it outside. For those of us with sensitive skin, since I did not get the change to wear this product for a long period of time, I can't speak to if the product would cause me to break out. I did wear it for over an hour inside the house and I did not experience any reaction in that period of time so that is a positive.
One huge positive is that this formula did not accentuate fine lines or dry, flaky patches on the skin. I was pretty impressed overall on how this foundation made my skin look so I am really bummed that I can't find a good color match.

Q: Build Qt from source failed without any errors I want to build Qt 5.4.1 form source with MSVC2013 under windows 10 condition.
However, when I do the configuration, it just stopped without any errors.
I downloaded qt-everywhere-enterprise-src-5.4.1.zip and unzip it.
I installed active perl ver5.2.6, python 3.7.6, ruby devkit 2.7.6 and added there path to environment variables.
And then, in the Developer Command Prompt for VS2013, typed
path_of_src\qtbase\configure -platform win32-msvc2013
then it shows me the following messages and just stopped configuration.
+ cd qtbase
+ ...\qt-everywhere-enterprise-src-5.4.1\qtbase\configure.bat -top-level -platform win32-msvc2013
Qt: Untested Windows version 10.0 detected!
This is the Qt
(and I even did not put -top-level option)
I think some words and process should be followed after 'This is the Qt' sentence, but there wasn't.
Also it doesn't show me any error messages so I'm stuck in a labyrinth now...
Please let me know if you have any idea or need further information.
Thank you in advance.
Best wishes,
