#mediationsymposium
The last decade has seen several major economic and political upheavals. From the repercussions of the global credit crisis, the disruption and job losses caused by automation to the uncertainty caused by Brexit, many have been adversely affected by the turmoil that these and other events have caused. They have all impacted on personal and commercial relationships and there is a strong likelihood that these uncertainties will grow in the future. Brexit is likely to lead to a domino effect as the strain caused by leaving the European Union impacts on commercial and personal relationships. Kindly hosted by Grant Thornton LLP, CIArb's 12th Mediation Symposium will look at 'Mediation in Times of Crises'.
The day will draw together presentations, deliberations and debates around the shifting contours of crises and how mediation can alleviate and resolve the disputes that they cause to different people. Although targeted at practitioners, this event will also be of interest to academics, lawyers, politicians and the judiciary as well as business leaders with an interest in the developing world of mediation.

Ucommune Acquires Coworking Rival Fountown, Cementing Leading Position In China
Published on October 18, 2018 - By Allwork.Space - Press
ucommune's latest acquisition makes it the largest coworking operator in Asia.
Chinese coworking brand ucommune (formerly UrWork) has acquired rival Fountown
The transaction marks ucommune's fifth acquisition this year
The move will make ucommune the largest coworking brand in Asia
Ucommune announced today the acquisition of Fountown, the 5th acquisition of its kind this year. This purchase adds 26 communities in Beijing and Shanghai. The Fountown buyout has made ucommune the largest coworking brand in Asia in terms of space, number of communities and number of members.
"I am positive about the future growth outlook of the coworking economy in China given the increasing momentum of urbanisation, upgrading to a service-based economy and urban renewal," said Dr Mao Daqing, founder and chairman of ucommune.
After the acquisition, ucommune will have over 200 communities in 37 cities, empowering over 100,000 indivuals and over 15,000 corporate members. Sharing common values of care, diversity and inclusiveness, ucommune and Fountown will cultivate a distinctive community culture characterised by symbiosis of people, space and technology.
This move comes on the heels of the Wedo, Workingdom, Woo Space and New Space transactions. Ucommune has 88 offices in Beijing and 42 in Shanghai. In Shenzhen alone, ucommune has 20 offices with 250,000 square metres. Ucommune boasts a US$ 1.8 billion valuation after pre-D round funding.
"Fountown established itself as the non-conventional provider of coworking space solutions in the competitive Shanghai market. It breaks boundaries of traditional working space by including space for residences and consumption. Fountown also has an Internet service platform to connect users with valuable business resources. This is why the acquisition makes sense to us," said Mao.
Ucommune has 40,000 square meters of prime working space in Shanghai with 17 locations at 95% occupancy. This acquisition provides additional space for both SMEs and MNCs to expand their business with ucommune.
Fountown's internet service platform enhances ucommune's expertise in overseeing cross-regional business exploration and diversified financial operation capabilities to help SME and MNC clients scale up.
"The macro environment has seen significant shifts in the past three years. We have seen greater uncertainty in the economy and an increasingly competitive environment with the arrival of new entrants. Therefore, mergers and acquisitions are necessary for leading companies to maintain their competitive advantage and stay relevant to client's requirements," said Mao.
Ucommune established itself as a coworking space leader and integrated service solution provider within just three years of establishment. Apart from China mainland, ucommune has also been actively expanding in Hongkong and Southeast Asia, with two Singapore communities, Aya Rajah Crescent at 100% and Suntec City over 60% capacity. The first Hongkong community is expected to open in early December with another unit in Mongkok coming next year.
Ucommune has initiatives such as UBespoke (a made-to-order design consultancy) and UBazaar (an exclusive online-to-offline service). These show Ucommune's long-term dedication to delivering smart coworking solutions conveniently to young companies as well as companies that are seeking cultural transformation. Ucommune integrates smart technology and AI into its product offering for its competitive advantage and creates a level playing field for its tenants with tech start-ups.
Ucommune is the first unicorn-level enterprise in China's coworking industry. It has grown to cover over 200 locations in over 37 cities globally, including Singapore, New York, Beijing, Taipei, Hongkong, Shanghai. Setting the benchmark for office sharing industry brands, ucommune serves over 15,000 enterprises and over 100,000 individual members.
Ucommune members include Liulishuo (NYSE: LAIX), KEEP, Logic Thinking, JoyRun, ByteDance, Kuaishou, Tiktok, Bilibili, zhiguagua, ofo, mobike.

For the past few years, the millennial consumer has been carefully examined. The Millennials are the most connected, trendy, and largest generation. Because a lot of the members of this generation are still young and inexperienced, they are sometimes overlooked by hoteliers. But due to advancements in technology and their social network culture, many hotels are changing their marketing strategies to cater to the needs of Millennial travelers. Don't underestimate this generation: besides the fact that the millennial population is 80 million strong, there are a few other reasons why marketing to Millennial travelers will be advantageous for your hotel.
Travel site Hotwire.com has already declared 2015 the 'Year of the Millennial Traveler.' Since this generation was born between 1980 and 1999, plenty of individuals have already finished school, started a career, and have a lot of time to travel. According to a survey taken by Next Big Thing, Millennials are expected to spend over $226 billion on travel in 2015. The Millennials will surpass the Baby Boomers in travel this year as well. In the same survey, 35% of people 18-35 stated that they would be taking a large vacation this year which is 10% more than those ages 45-54. With so much money and time available, Millennials will be cruising the web every day planning their next vacation, so it's important to know how to market to Millennials and get them into your hotel.
Millennials will also be taking over the business travel industry. Millennial business travelers already surpass older professionals in average business trips per year. Also, they are more likely to extend business trips into a leisure trip. According to an infographic from HotelRez.com, 62% of Millennials say they extend their stay when on business while only 44% of non-Millennials say they do.
One of the biggest advantages of getting Millennials into your hotel is free marketing. By 2018, it is expected that 99.7 percent of Millennials will own a smartphone. While in your hotel, a Millennial traveler may post interesting pictures of your property on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. They may also use sites like TripAdvisor and Yelp to leave reviews about their stay. All of this information is being posted to the web and seen by millions of people; so if it's favorable information, your hotel just got itself some free advertising.
Millennials are powerful, influential, adventurous spenders who are looking for a good time no matter what they are doing. Hotels are trying to keep up with this generation by grasping their attention with fresh ideas, extensive social media campaigns, loyalty programs, and promotions. Some major hotel companies have even created small hotel chains geared directly toward Millennials. Having a strong social media presence and an easy-to-use mobile site is the first step in getting the Millennials' attention. 2015 is an excellent time to cash in on these trendy travelers and keep your hotel rooms full.

À la suite des développements d'armes similaires par les Allemands (Nebelwerfer) et les Soviétiques (Katioucha), les Alliés ont développé leur propre LRM. Ils ne les déployèrent que tard dans la guerre et quelques-uns furent utilisés lors de la bataille d'Iwo Jima. Certains étaient montés sur des camions.

Home/Movie Schedule/Music Theater Works Presents Updated Version of 'Little Mermaid' – Chicago Tribune
Music Theater Works Presents Updated Version of 'Little Mermaid' – Chicago Tribune
Ariel lives in a beautiful underwater world ruled by her father, King Triton, and has a fairytale life, but she is not satisfied. The princess longs for a pair of legs so she can live on land and find romance in Disney's The Little Mermaid at Music Theater Works June 2-26.
The musical by Alan Menken (music), Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater (lyrics) and Doug Wright (book) varies in performance but is mostly on Wednesdays at 1pm, Thursdays at 7:30pm (except June 2 at 1 p.m.), 8 Fridays, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., Sundays 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. (no 6 p.m. performance on 5 or 26 June).
"Ariel is strong-willed. She's also stubborn," said Joselle Reyes, who plays her first Disney princess. "She knows what she wants and she won't stop until she gets it."
The mermaid will only be happy "when she can finally be a part of the world she always dreamed she was on land," Reyes said.
Part of this dream is related to her desire to speak to the handsome Prince Eric (Nathan Karnik). To make this dream come true, Ariel must make a deal with a witch named Ursula, played by Caroline Lyell.
Reyes said that she references Ariel because "I come from a family that originally didn't want me to leave home to go to college, so I totally understand her feeling so attached to this world who she always knows and she wants to know what else is there." Like Ariel, Reyes said she was adventurous.

Noting that she's a person of color, Reyes said, "I think it's really important for the young generation to be able to see versions of Disney princesses that look like them."
This isn't the first time Lyell has played a wicked witch. She previously had the honor of playing the witch in "Into the Woods" at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Lyell noted that Ursula has many layers in this rendition of the character.
"She's a very complicated person," the actor said. She noted that when she plays someone who is considered evil, she remembers that "they don't think they're evil. You must find the reason why they evolved the way they did." In Ursula's case, Lyell noted, she is King Triton's sister. "Her brother has power and she feels offended because she's a woman and that power is being taken away from her," the actor said.
Lyell particularly enjoys the show's score. "I grew up with this music. I used to watch 'Little Mermaid' all the time as a kid," she said. "It brings back a lot of good memories."
The production is directed by Joshua Castille and Stacey Flaster, who is also the choreographer.
"I wanted to direct this show because I love this story," Castille said. "I wanted to bring a different angle to this story from a deaf perspective. Talking about love and fear and how we make those decisions every day based on love and fear."
The directing process between Castille and Flaster began via Zoom, with Castille using a sign language interpreter.
"We discussed what the story would be like and what the vision for the story was," Castille said. He noted that vision involves digging deeper into the problems of the musical.
Castille added that as a deaf person, he sees relationships through body language. He said Flaster and assistant choreographer Matthew Weidenbener are both wonderful dancers and "both add so much fun."
Flaster wanted to direct this show because it was her favorite Disney film and her daughter loved The Little Mermaid as a child too.
She also said, "The music is so beautiful. It's such a beautiful score." That includes numbers like "Under the Sea" and "Part of Your World".
Flaster also pointed out that as a parent, she relates to King Triton's desire to protect his daughter.
"There are so many challenges within the script – how to direct it and make it interesting – but I was really up for the challenge," Flaster said.
One of the challenges is to distinguish the times when the environment is on land from when it is on the water. Lighting effects help the audience distinguish between these two settings. A huge dock represents the ship, the sea and the castle. "Everything on stage is used," Flaster said. "There are no big set pieces that come every now and then."
Flaster stated that she and Castille seamlessly blend their talents. "We both do the staging and we both do the conceptualization," she said.
"I really think this is a special production that people should see," Flaster concluded. "It still feels like Disney because we don't take anything away from it, but it also has its own stamp on it. It feels very contemporary."

HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1920s → 1928 → December 1928 → 17 December 1928 → Commons Sitting → IRISH FREE STATE.
IRISH GRANTS COMMITTEE.
HC Deb 17 December 1928 vol 223 cc2593-5 2593
§ 17. Sir W. DAVISON
asked the Secretary of state for Dominion Affairs the number of claims of Southern Irish loyalists in respect of loss and damage to person and property which have still to be disposed of by the Irish Grants Committee; when it is expected that the hearing of these claims will be completed; whether the outstanding balance still due to those who have already had their claims heard and settled can now 2594 be paid; and, if not, when it is expected that this balance will be paid?
§ Mr. AMERY
With regard to the first two parts of my hon. Friend's question, I would refer to the reply which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Chelmsford (Colonel Howard-Bury) on the 12th November. Since that date 120 further cases have been dealt with by the Irish Grants Committee. As regards the last two parts of the question, it will be recalled that the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated on the 20th February last, that a sum not exceeding £1,000,000 would be held available as required in satisfaction of these claims, that all awards up to £1,000 would at once be paid in full, that of the excess over that figure 60 per cent. would he advanced immediately, that the residue would be applied to the recommendations at the close of the Inquiry so far as they had not already been implemented, and that this decision must be taken as final so far as His Majesty's present advisers are concerned. It has now become clear that payment on the above scale—that is, payment in full of all awards up to £1,000, and 60 per cent. of the excess over that figure—will involve the expenditure of at least the sum of £1,000,000 which was allocated, and in these circumstances no payments in addition to those on the scale now authorised can be made. I may add that under the operation of the authorised scale 32 per cent. of the recommendations so far made by the Committee have been paid in full. In the case of the remaining recommendations, two-thirds of the claimants, or another 12 per cent. of the whole, have been paid amounts varying from 75 to 99 per cent. of the full amount recommended.
§ Sir W. DAVISON
Do we understand that the British Government are declining to be responsible for 40 per cent. of the damages to which these unfortunate people have been held to be entitled by a Commission specially appointed with the authority of the British Government?
No, Sir; my hon. Friend is not quite correct in his figures. The payment made in respect of these claims is not 60 per cent. of the awards, but the whole of the awards up to £1,000 and 2595 60 per cent. of the remainder. As I pointed out in my answer, that means payment in full of 82 per cent. of the awards, and from 75 to 99 per cent. of the full payment in the case of another 12 per cent.
Is it not true that there is a difference of over 50 per cent. being claimed?
In many cases that and more.
§ Mr. CRAWFURD
What is the reason for the application of the epithet "Loyalist" to one particular section of His Majesty's subjects in Ireland?
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY
Do we understand that £1,000,000 has all been expended, or does a substantial balance remain to meet outstanding claims?
£1,000,000 has been set aside as the final sum the Government are prepared to pay. Out of that £1,000,000, very considerable payments have already been made in full payment of awards up to £1,000, and of full payment of the first £1,000 and 60 per cent. of the rest. The satisfaction of all the claims awarded or likely to have an award is likely to involve, at the rate of £1,000 plus GO per cent., a sum of possibly £50,000 over £1,000,000.
§ Colonel HOWARD-BURY
Does the right hon. Gentleman mean to say the Government are quibbling at these small sums and are not going to pay the full recommendation of the Committee which they themselves set up to inquire into the case and which has done it so very thoroughly and carefully?
We discussed the matter very fully in February, and the Government, while paying every tribute to the care and impartiality of the Committee, did announce that £1,000,000 represented the sum total of the payment that was going to be made:
Back to EX-BRITISH Civil, SERVANTS.
Forward to TRADE AND COMMERCE.

Silk holds off Rogers in NASCAR Hall of Fame 100
By Times Review
The NASCAR Hall of Fame 100 at Riverhead Raceway on Saturday night turned out to be a race for the ages. Ronnie Silk of Norwalk, Conn., held off a torrid late-race charge by Tom Rogers Jr. of Patchogue to win.
Silk was involved in a shootout for the win that left fans on the edge of their seats. Over the final 10 laps of the race, which saw a late-race caution, Rogers tested Silk each and every lap, staying glued to his rear bumper. But Silk drove to his first career Riverhead Raceway victory.
"I like this place and enjoy racing here and that race for the lead was intense," Silk said after receiving the NASCAR Hall of Fame trophy from promoters Barbara and Jim Cromarty.
Following Silk and Rogers at the finish line, in order, were Rowan Pennink of Huntington Valley, Pa., Howie Brode of East Islip and Glenn Tyler of Hampton Bays.
Mike Bologna of Huntington scored his third career late model victory in a 25-lap event. Shawn Patrick of Brightwaters earned runner-up money, Chris LaSpisa of Shirley took third.
Tommy Walkowiak of Ridge scored his second blunderbust victory of the season as well as his 40th career triumph in the class. Scott Maliszewski of Deer Park was second, and third went to Paul Parisi of Riverhead.
In legend race car racing, Johnny Gloor IV of Flanders went wire to wire to win the 20-lap main event for his first win of 2010.
ANDERSON COLLAPSES AFTER RACE Former five-time Riverhead Raceway NASCAR modified champion Wayne Anderson, 62, of Yaphank was hospitalized Saturday night after completing the NASCAR Hall of Fame 100.
After exiting his car, Anderson sat down in his enclosed trailer where he later collapsed. An ambulance rushed to Anderson's pit stall. Anderson was taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead. As he entered the ambulance, he was alert and talking with his wife, Joette, and crew members.
On Sunday morning, team members reported that Anderson would be transferred to St. Frances Hospital in Nassau for further testing and diagnosis. They said the driver wanted to leave the hospital Saturday night but was advised not to.
Anderson had finished 12th in a 24-car field. The evening got off to a great start for the 1994 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion when he set a fast qualifying time for the NASCAR Hall of Fame 100 with a lap of 12.017 seconds. Later, he raced for the lead with Justin Bonsignore and Rowan Pennink.

Q: Gather a split 2D array with MPI in C I need to adapt this part of a very long code to mpi in c.
for (i = 0; i < total; i++) {
   sum = A[next][0][0]*B[i][0] + A[next][0][1]*B[i][1] + A[next][0][2]*B[i][2];
   next++;
   while (next < last) {
      col = column[next];
      sum += A[next][0][0]*B[col][0] + A[next][0][1]*B[col][1] + A[next][0][2]*B[col][2];
      final[col][0] += A[next][0][0]*B[i][0] + A[next][1][0]*B[i][1] + A[next][2][0]*B[i][2];
      next++;
}
final[i][0] += sum;}

And I was thinking of code like this:
for (i = 0; i < num_threads; i++) {
   for (j = 0; j < total; j++) {
      check_thread[i][j] = false;
   }
}
part = total / num_threads;
for (i = thread_id * part; i < ((thread_id + 1) * part); i++) {
   sum = A[next][0][0]*B[i][0] + A[next][0][1]*B[i][1] + A[next][0][2]*B[i][2];
   next++;
   while (next < last) {
     col = column[next];
     sum += A[next][0][0]*B[col][0] + A[next][0][1]*B[col][1] + A[next][0][2]*B[col][2];
     if (!check_thread[thread_id][col]) {
        check_thread[thread_id][col] = true;
        temp[thread_id][col] = 0.0;
     }
     temp[thread_id][col] += A[next][0][0]*B[i][0] + A[next][1][0]*B[i][1] + A[next][2][0]*B[i][2];
     next++;
   }
   if (!check_thread[thread_id][i]) {
      check_thread[thread_id][i] = true;
      temp[thread_id][i] = 0.0;
   }
 temp[thread_id][i] += sum;
}
*
for (i = 0; i < total; i++) {
   for (j = 0; j < num_threads; j++) {
     if (check_thread[j][i]) {
        final[i][0] += temp[j][i];
     }
   }
}

Then I need to gather all the temporary parts in one, I was thinking of MPI_Allgather and something like this just before the last two for (where *):
  MPI_Allgather(temp, (part*sizeof(double)), MPI_DOUBLE, temp, sizeof(**temp), MPI_DOUBLE, MPI_COMM_WORLD);

But I get an execution error, Is it possible to send and receive in the same variable?, if not, what could be the other solution in this case?.

A: You are calling the MPI_Allgather with the wrong parameters:
 MPI_Allgather(temp, (part*sizeof(double)), MPI_DOUBLE, temp, sizeof(**temp), MPI_DOUBLE, MPI_COMM_WORLD);

Instead you should have (source) :

MPI_Allgather
Gathers data from all tasks and distribute the combined data to all
tasks
Input Parameters
sendbuf starting address of send buffer (choice)
sendcount number of elements in send buffer (integer)
sendtype data type of send buffer elements (handle)
recvcount number of elements received from any process (integer)
recvtype data type of receive buffer elements (handle)
comm communicator (handle)

Your sendcount and recvcount arguments are both wrong, instead of (part*sizeof(double)) and sizeof(**temp) you should pass the number of elements from the matrix temp that will be gather by all processes involved.
The matrix can be gather in a single call if that matrix is continuously allocated in memory, if it was created as an array of pointers, then you will have to call MPI_Allgather for each row of the matrix, or use MPI_Allgatherv instead.

Is it possible to send and receive in the same variable?

Yes, by using the In-place Option

When the communicator is an intracommunicator, you can perform an
all-gather operation in-place (the output buffer is used as the input
buffer). Use the variable MPI_IN_PLACE as the value of sendbuf. In
this case, sendcount and sendtype are ignored. The input data of each
process is assumed to be in the area where that process would receive
its own contribution to the receive buffer. Specifically, the outcome
of a call to MPI_Allgather that used the in-place option is identical
to the case in which all processes executed n calls to

MPI_GATHER ( MPI_IN_PLACE, 0, MPI_DATATYPE_NULL, recvbuf,
recvcount, recvtype, root, comm )

style="text-align: center;">"I love the poorly educated. "
In a 2017 poll, 57% of the respondents who said that they voted for Donald Trump "said it was 'definitely true' or 'probably true' that [President Obama] came from Kenya." While the rest of the world debates how to deal with climate change, only "70 percent of Americans believe 'global warming is happening'". A survey in 2016 suggested, "that one in three supporters of Donald Trump believe vaccines do indeed cause autism."
While much has been made of the fact that Trump has been no more faithful to the truth than he has been to his wives, this ignores the greater threat facing our country. A president's term in office is limited and Trump will eventually leave the Oval Office. However, the minority of Americans who placed him in that office will remain, ready to close their eyes to reality and support the next charismatic leader who comes along.
In the Information Age, it only takes a few keystrokes to find a link to Obama's original birth announcements from not one, but two separate newspapers. The data clearly shows that "the ten warmest years on record have all occurred since 1998, and the four warmest years on record have all occurred since 2014." Study after study has shown that "the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine [does] not increase the risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD)."
Unfortunately, facts are useless if people insist on ignoring them. Trump supporters have willfully agreed to put on blinders and buy into an alternate reality that their Dear Leader has created. "Alternative facts" have been created to prove a narrative and deemed acceptable replacements to the truth. If this continues, our democracy will not survive.
Successful debate requires a common recognition of reality. One cannot ignore the fact that the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 148.5% under the 44th President, still declare that "we had record lows under Obama" and then expect to have a productive conversation. Supporting Obama is not required to acknowledge that the Dow never hit anywhere close to 41.22 during his presidency; that low was a mark of the Great Depression. It does not diminish Trump's record to recognize that the stock market hit at least 122 record high closings under his predecessor.
The Twitter poster also used manufactured data for the deficit. While Obama did increase the debt by $1.905 trillion in 2010 while he dug us out of Bush's Great Recession, by the fiscal year 2016 the deficit had been reduced to $587 billion. The federal deficit in 2017 was $665 billion. Under Trump, the deficit was not cut "by more than half", but was raised to $779 billion. It is expected to rise to $900 billion this year.
Yet time and again, Trump and his supporters double down on their false narrative. Show them a chart detailing the steady increase in the price of stocks under Obama and they will still declare that "Obama never recovered the stock market to where it was when he took office." No matter how credible the source, it is Fake News or tainted by liberal bias. Of course, no alternative citation is ever presented.
In September 2006, home prices fell for the first time in 11 years leading to the start of the housing crisis. This resulted in the 2007 banking crisis, the 2008 financial crisis and then the Great Recession. Barack Obama became president on January 20, 2009.
The danger increases with Trump's declaration that it "would be very bad, very bad" if the "tough people" who support him were pushed "to a certain point". Agitating for violence to people already primed to ignore reality is a recipe for disaster. A man is sucker punched at a Trump rally and is held at fault because he dared to protest Trump. Heather Heyer is dead because of a white supremacist's fear and hatred and Trump's fans will deny that the president's rhetoric calling for violence has anything to do with it. The MAGA Bomber's van was plastered with Trump/Pence paraphilia and the perpetrator is considered a leftist plant. Under these circumstances, can there be a peaceful transition of power if Trump loses his 2020 re-election bid?
I would have liked to have ended on an optimistic note with an observation that we have been here before and we will eventually coalesce around a common good. Unfortunately, we have gotten to a point where we are not arguing if a glass is half empty or full, but whether the glass exists at all. Is there a proper time to start asking if there will be a 46th president?


Yum! Everything looks almost too pretty to eat. And I could also do without sweetbreads (isn't that name so misleading?).
Thank you for sharing your birthday eats (Part II?).
And you can make as many wishes as you want; how many you get fulfilled is another issue altogether.
Did you use a gray card, auto white balance or Photoshop? As you were worried about your white balance before, these results look good!
the shape of the dishes are so awesome. i'm officially starving, too.
everything just looks so delicate and yummy!


Thanks to a charitable donation from the Waukesha Women's Club, the City of Waukesha Fire Department has a portable fire safety house trailer that can be transported from site-to-site to assist us in educating the public about fire safety.
The fire safety house is used extensively by the City of Waukesha Fire Department and is taken to every grade school within the Waukesha School District every school year.
The fire safety house contains 3 rooms which act as the different stations for program education.
In the living room, we talk about general fire safety and precautions.
In the kitchen, our topic is kitchen fire safety and injury prevention.
Upstairs in the bedroom, we talk to children about exit drills and what to do if they are ever in bed when a smoke detector goes off. We will then introduce some simulated smoke (nontoxic) into the bedroom and allow children the opportunity to practice evacuating from a rear balcony.

The Sandlot and Field of Dreams Actor Art LaFleur Dead at 78 – E! Online
Team of Editor November 20, 2021
Art LaFleur, known for his roles as Babe Ruth in The Sandlot and Chick Gandil in Field of Dreams, has died. He was 78 years old.
On Thursday, Nov. 18, his wife, Shelley LaFleur, stated in a poignant post on Facebook that Art had died after a 10-year battle with Parkinson's disease.
Calling him "the love of [her] life," Shelley explained that Art "brought laughter to so many people" in films like Field of Dreams and The Santa Clause 2 as well as on popular television shows including M*A*S*H, Matlock, Baywatch, Doogie Howser, Home Improvement, Boy Meets World, House and most recently Key and Peele.
His portrayal of Babe Ruth in the 1993 film The Sandlot is still known to this day for his delivery of the iconic line: "Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die! Follow your heart, kid, and you'll never go wrong."

Under Night In-Birth EXE:Late[cl-r] Fighting Game's Opening Movie Streamed
Aksys Games releases game in N. America for PS4, Switch on February 20
Arc System Works began streaming the opening movie on Sunday for its Under Night In-Birth EXE:Late[cl-r] fighting game. The video features Sakura Ishadō's theme song "Itsuwari no Para-real."
Aksys Games will release the game for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in North America on February 20, 2020. The game is getting a collector's edition that includes a 96-page color art book, a soundtrack, and a black rubber keychain of the new character Londrekia. The game will also launch in Japan on February 20.
The game is the latest entry in the Under Night In-Birth 2D fighting game franchise. French-Bread is developing the game with "nearly a thousand balance changes," new moves, and a new playable character.
Aksys Games describes the franchise's story:
In Under Night In-Birth, a mysterious phenomenon, known only as "the Hollow Night," has enveloped regions of Japan in darkness for several centuries. Every area affected by the Hollow Night is beset by shadowy monsters--known as "Voids"--who feed off of a power called "Existence." Most humans don't possess the ability to see or come in contact with Voids, and therefore remain safe. You, however, are not so lucky. As one of a cast of unique characters, players fight their way through the dangers of the Hollow Night and defeat those who would try to get in your way. The game features classic 2D anime fighter controls with a splash of devastating combos and unique fighting styles sure to keep your appetite for battle sated. A fight is more than just pressing buttons!
The previous installment in French Bread's Under Night In-Birth fighting game series is Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] . The arcade version of the game launched in July 2015 in Japan, and Arc System Works released the game on the PS3 and PS4 in Japan in July 2017. Aksys Games released the game for the PS4 and PS Vita in North America in February 2018, and PQube Games released the game on the same platforms in Europe on the same date. Arc System Works released the game on PC via Steam in August 2018.
Ecole Software and French Bread (Melty Blood) developed the original Under Night In-Birth arcade game, which launched in Japan as an arcade game in 2012 and it was followed by an updated arcade game titled Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late in 2013. Arc System Works released a PS3 port of Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late in Japan in 2014. Aksys Games released the game for PS3 in North America in February 2015.

THE SHAPE OF MIND
This play is divided into three acts. The first is set on the first day back at the start of a school year and focusses on a year one class: its teacher and her colleagues; and its pupils and their families. The second is set twenty-four years later and consists of a range of monologues and duologues that explore the adult lives of some of the characters from the first act. The third act is set in the same year as the first, but only a few days before the end of the school year. An additional structural feature of Acts 1 and 3 are a range of 'psyches': roaming characters that are a lens through which we see into the thought life of the characters.
Through these structural elements, and blending humour and pathos, the play explores those things - both complex and seemingly insignificant - that impact the people that we become.
Providing opportunities for humour and a deeper exploration of human emotion, the play maintains an engaging balance between comedy and drama. Individual opportunities are provided for actors to explore in-depth characterisation in the second act as it is structured from monologues and two-handers. The greater intensity of these scenes is contrasted with the vibrant ensemble of the school-based scenes in the bookend acts.

Maximiliano Urruti scored twice and Mauro Diaz had a goal and three assists to help FC Dallas beat the New England Revolution 4-2 on Tuesday night for the US Open Cup title. Dallas won its first Open Cup championship since 1997 — which was under its previous name of the Burn — to earn a spot in the 2017 CONCACAF Champions League.
Urruti tied it at 1 in the 15th minute. He settled Diaz's cross with his left foot and one-touched it home with his right. Matt Hedges made it 2-1 in the 40th. A corner kick was deflected outside the 18-yard box and Diaz's chip found the head of Hedges. Diaz put Dallas in front 3-1 when he rolled a penalty kick under Chris Seitz's arm in first-half stoppage time. Urruti finished a breakaway in the 61st for a 4-1 lead.


The NI 9205 and NI 9206 modules implement a two-element deep pipeline for access to the AI, DI0, and DO0 channels. This pipeline results in maximum sample rate and maximum sample quality. The Trig channel has a parallel data path that bypasses the pipeline.
When using the FPGA I/O Node to sample channels, the pipeline is automatically managed by the FPGA I/O Node, and the channels within the FPGA I/O Node are sampled in numerical order regardless of the order they appear in the node.
If the first two channel requests in the FPGA I/O Node do not match the two channel requests stored in the module pipeline, there will be a delay before the first channel sample occurs. This delay is caused by the FPGA I/O Node automatically updating the module channel sample pipeline, which takes two channel sample cycles.
To minimize the need for the pipeline updates, each FPGA I/O Node leaves the module pipeline primed to repeat itself. If you use only one FPGA I/O Node in a looping structure, only the first iteration of the loop will incur the two-cycle time delay. All subsequent iterations operate with no delay.
When using the IO Sample method, you must take steps to manage this pipeline in the VIs.
To read one channel, that channel configuration must be requested two cycles before the time it is to be sampled. The U16 configuration value for an AI channel sample contains the channel number, channel input range, and terminal mode. The U16 configuration value also can represent an access to the DIO or DOO channels, which is treated the same as an AI operation.
The following diagram illustrates how the pipeline works within a sequence structure. A typical application would use a loop structure to iterate through a scan list, which is a predefined list of configurations, continuously. The sequence structure and art elements show how data moves into the NI 9205/9206 pipeline and then is converted. Note that the IO Sample method first converts the configuration that is in the ADC, and then shifts the configuration values through the pipeline to prepare for the next time LabVIEW calls the IO Sample method.
The simplest form of pipeline management is to force the pipeline on every set of samples. This assumes that the pipeline is always wrong at the first sample, and sends all IO Sample requests in order. The last two data points need some configuration to be requested, but it does not matter, in this use case, what configuration that is.
A better form of pipeline management emulates the behavior of the FPGA I/O Node. Instead of always assuming that the pipeline is wrong, you choose the last two configuration values based on the first two samples you want to include in the next iteration. This pipeline management system can be accomplished in two parts: initialization and sample iteration.
Smaller on FPGA—With large channel count, the IO Sample method is more efficient with FPGA resources, and thus requires less space on the FPGA for the same application.
Sample flexibility—The IO Sample method gives you more flexibility to change channel range, terminal mode, and channel order at run time and at full sample rate.
Application timing flexibility—The IO Sample method returns all sample data as soon as it is available. The FPGA I/O Node will gather data for all requested samples and then return all at once.
The Minimum Time Between Conversions control you can set in the C Series Module Properties dialog box determines the shortest possible time between any two conversions. For channels sampled within the same FPGA I/O Node, the time you set determines the exact time between conversions. For channels sampled within separate FPGA I/O Nodes or for conversions caused by looping on an FPGA I/O Node, the time you set may be less than the actual time between conversions. However, the minimum time you set is never greater than the time between conversions. If the application tries to execute an FPGA I/O Node or IO Sample method faster than the specified minimum time between conversions, the conversion is delayed until the minimum time you set is satisfied.
The default minimum time between conversions for the NI 9205/9206 is 8 µs. The accuracy specifications in the NI 9205 Operating Instructions and Specifications or NI 9206 Operating Instructions and Specifications are based on this default value. If you set the minimum time between conversions to at least 8 µs, the accuracy of the module is not affected. If you set the minimum time between conversions to less than 8 µs, the accuracy of the module degrades if you sample data from multiple channels.
Refer to the NI 9205 Advanced IO VI in the labview\examples\CompactRIO\Module Specific\NI 9205\NI 9205 Advanced IO\NI 9205 Advanced IO.lvproj for an example of conversion timing on the NI 9205 and NI 9206 C Series Modules.

Medical scans show the damage vaping could do to your body, including blisters and lung collapse
Gabby Landsverk
Sep 12, 2019, 6:22 AM
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention have reported 450 cases of possible vaping-related lung illnesses. Six people have died, but experts still can't explain what's happening.
Symptoms of vaping-related lung illness include shortness of breath, fever, nausea, gastrointestinal issues, and weight loss. The symptoms can appear days or weeks after vaping as well as in people who have vaped for years.
These images show some of the lung damage linked to vaping, including collapsed lungs, and what medical professionals know about what may be causing it.
Visit INSIDER's homepage for more.
The number of possible vaping-related illnesses continues to grow, with the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention announcing that at least 450 total possible cases of vaping-related lung illnesses had been reported across 33 states this year.
Deaths have been tallied in Minnesota, California, Oregon, Illinois, and Indiana.
"While the investigation is ongoing, CDC has advised that individuals consider not using e-cigarettes, because as of now, this is the primary means of preventing the severe lung disease," Dr. Dana Meaney-Delman of the CDC said on a September 6 call with reporters.
It's still not clear what's causing these life-threatening lung issues, but they tend to sprout up in a matter of days or weeks after people use e-cigarettes, though some of the people who've gotten sick said they'd been vaping for years before they fell ill.
Here are some of the images doctors and researchers have obtained of lungs believed to be damaged by vaping, and what experts think what might be going on.
Mysterious vaping-related lung illnesses are spreading across the US. Doctors say these are the symptoms to watch out for.
A California teen had surgery to remove a blister that resulted in a collapsed lung after using a marijuana vape he bought at a concert.
Courtesy of Dr. Junaid KhanThe right lung pictured is normal, while the left is surrounded by air in the chest cavity (in black) that is compressing the lung.
Junaid Khan, a heart and lung surgeon in Oakland, California, said he completed surgery on an 18-year-old young man who suffered a blistered lung.
The patient had what's called a pneumothorax, or collapsed lung, a dangerous problem in which air leaks into the space between the chest wall and the lung, making it hard to breathe. This can happen when blisters pop up inside the lungs.
"I can't prove to you this was related to vaping," Khan previously told Insider, but said he had a hunch the injury was related to a marijuana device the patient had bought just a few months earlier.
The patient had trouble breathing, but is recovering after a surgery to remove the blister and relieve air in the lungs, allowing them to expand normally.
Khan added that he thinks this will be the first of many vaping-related issues he encounters.
"It's on the verge of becoming a public-health crisis," he said. "When I'm seeing these people, it means they're needing surgery. That's pretty dramatic."
Researchers studying vape-related injuries found a pattern of similarities.
The New England Journal of Medicine ©2019Vaping-related images show a similar pattern of lung damage, according to researchers.
A group of researchers reviewing more than 30 cases of vaping-related injuries found many patients had similar patterns of damage to their lungs, including inflammation, damage to the alveoli (or the lungs' air sacs), and particles of fat in lung tissues known as lipiod pneumonia.
Some of the injuries may be related to inhalation of oils included in the "e-juice," the vaporized substance that carries nicotine or THC into the lungs.
A young patient could have died from severe inflammation and respiratory distress likely related to vaping.
Photo courtesy of NYU WinthropThis image shows how inflammation (the white shadows) progressed over five days in a hospital patient, enveloping the lungs.
Doctors found inflammation, believed to be linked to vaping, rapidly spread throughout the lungs of an 18-year-old patient at NYU Winthrop in Mineola, Long Island, New York.
The patient was initially admitted with chest pain, fever, and coughing, and was discovered to have acute respiratory distress and fluid in his lungs, Melody Pirzada, pediatric pulmonary chief at the hospital, told Insider.
"This patient was actually in a lot of pain and needed to be connected to life support," she said. "With the great work of our ICU team, we were able to save this patient. But once you come to this point, the chance of dying can be as high as 70%."
An image of a teen vaper's collapsed lung went viral, although there may be other explanations for his injury.
Chanca Ammirata via TwitterAn 18-year-old went viral after posting images of his collapsed, dotted lung on Twitter, which he said was caused by vaping.
Chance Ammirata, an 18-year-old former vape user, shared a viral photo of his lung on social media, alleging that the partial collapse and mysterious black dots pictures were due to vaping.
It's difficult to prove his injury was caused by vaping, highlighting the uncertainty that still surrounds the seeming epidemic.
Professor Robert Tarran, who studies vaping at the University of North Carolina Marisco Lung Institute, told Insider that Ammirata's injury may not have been caused by vaping and said it's "very hard" to prove a cause and effect relationship.
Tarran explained that spontaneous pneumothorax occurs when blebs, or small pockets of air in the lungs, break off, causing the lung to collapse. The condition is particularly common among tall, skinny males, although doctors don't know why.
Still, the lack of certainty around what caused the condition doesn't mean vaping is safe.
"There is no doubt that vaping is doing stuff to people, but it's not clear what," Tarran said.
Ammirata's photo was shared by more than 41,000 people on Twitter, and a petition he launched to stop vaping has earned more than 4,000 signatures online.

The chances are you are reading this article on your phone or tablet. The devices we use nowadays to consume media have changed and we take our portable uninterrupted internet access for granted. Many of us have forgotten what it was like to be bound to a desktop computer. However it has only been 12 short years since the first smartphone was launched.
I am going to share with you today the game changing challenges and opportunities that mobility brings to enterprise technology such as the supply chain planning solutions.
As a software solutions provider, transitioning from a desktop solution to a mobile solution is not about a choice of technology deployment. It is about re-engineering your entire product offering to address a completely different market segment.
Modern mobile devices are much more than a touch screen. Mobile devices bring more of the human senses into play. Modern devices offer speakers and microphones, GPS & navigation, vibrational alerts, Bluetooth and near-field communications, cameras that can scan QR and barcodes, multilingual voice and handwriting recognition, and new security options such as fingerprint scanning. A mobile device is no longer about being mobile; it is about being relevant.
In the workplace, enterprise technology must leverage this opportunity to survive. It is both a formidable challenge and an exciting journey to leverage these mediums for the best possible human machine interaction.
In supply chain this means that the planner can log in securely with their finger print; they can receive notifications triaged by severity using audible alerts, vibrations, or messages; they can use the camera to scan a barcode to get an immediate package identification and location update.
Workplace demographics are playing a role in this transition. Generation Z, those born between 1990 and the early 2000's, are now progressing into management roles that influence technology selection. They have been exposed to an unprecedented advancement of technology during their lives. This generation no longer clicks, they swipe. And they see no reason why their supply chain software experience should be any different. Their user experience must be intuitive, intelligent, responsive, social, and "always on".

Latin name : Hyssopus officinalis Linn.
Description : Hippocrates and Dioscorides both recommended the flowers of this plant for respiratory complaints. Hyssop is considered anthelmintic, antiinflammtory, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antiviral, aperient, aromatic, astringent, carminative, cholagogue, demulscent, diaphoretic, diuretic, emmenagogue, a strong expectorant, febrifuge, nervine, pectoral, purgative, sedative, stimulant, stomachic, sudorific, tonic, vasodilator and vermifuge. Useful in chronic coughs, pleurisy, tight-chestedness, respiratory catarrh, sore throat, laryngitis, common cold, sinusitis and chronic bronchitis and also in hysteria, colic, uterine affections and indurations of the liver and spleen. It can also soothe stomach cramps. It eases nervous tension and anxiety and has a soothing influence on the nervous system.
Hyssop appears to encourage the production of a more liquid mucus, and at the same time gently stimulates expectoration. This combined action clears thick and congested phlegm. As a sedative, hyssop is a useful remedy against asthma in both children and adults, specially when the condition is exacerbated by mucus congestion.
Hyssop is the best source of diosmin, which also protects the capillaries and eases tissue swelling and water retention.
Recommended Dosage : 5 to 10 g powder of dried flowers.
Contraindication : This herb is not recommended if you are pregnant, or suffer from epilepsy, diabetes or high blood pressure.

Glenn Beck: Bankruptcy Is Good
Watch Glenn Beck weekdays at 5 p.m. and 2 a.m. ET on FOX News Channel
Word from the White House that Chrysler is headed toward bankruptcy; Thursday was the deadline for the car company to provide a restructuring plan. Creditors reportedly turned down an unbelievably generous offer in which they would get the privilege of forgiving almost $7 billion of debt.
So here's the one thing that no one else will say about this story today: We have been in denial. Bankruptcy is good! In fact, the word "bankruptcy" has been absent from our vocabulary for way too long.
When the economy began to fall apart, most of us knew in our guts that the best way to stop a ship from sinking is to get rid of the deadweight. Let struggling companies declare bankruptcy, reset and start over. The system works.
But the "smart people," including George W. Bush, said no, no, no we can't let companies go bankrupt! Do you know how many jobs that would cost us? This is an emergency, we need to save them!
How's that working out for us now?
Chrysler still declared bankruptcy. Fannie and Freddie are hemorrhaging money. At least six more major banks need government cash and others that want to give the cash back are finding that the government won't take it.
Oh, and all of those jobs we were scared about losing? They're gone anyway.
We need to stop trying to make this hurt less and instead take our lumps. Remember the expression "no pain, no gain?"
But as I read a story in The New York Times Thursday, it became obvious that's not happening. The headline read: "Economy slides at fastest rate since the 1950s." Scary, except that it continued: "Silver lining detected."
And the silver lining? Consumer spending is up.
That is not a silver lining.
What if the headline read "Little Johnny is sick. But the good news is, he also has a fever."
For years we denied that our economy is based on, as the president said Wednesday night, "a pile of sand." We closed our eyes, covered our ears and said "charge it!" Yet even after our house of cards has fallen, we still aren't facing facts. We still cheer on consumer spending as if it's our savior.
It's sand!
We look for silver linings in the job market and hear that 8.5 percent unemployment isn't too bad. Fine, but what about the cities? Washington, D.C.'s unemployment 9.5 percent; Oakland, California: 10.5 percent; Los Angeles County: 11.3 percent and Detroit: 14.9 percent.
We are looking for silver linings in housing, but the numbers are dismal. Phoenix now has the distinction of being the first city where home prices have fallen 50 percent from their peak.
The point is that this is not the time to look for silver linings, it's a time to use some common sense and stop living in denial. Common sense is the reason we are not sending troops to close the border to keep out the swine — sorry — H1N1 virus. What's the point? It's already here, that would be a waste of resources. Man is not going to conquer this virus, we can only try to manage it and hunker down while it burns itself out. The same common sense should be applied to the economy.
The economy has a virus and it needs to run its course. Our weakest companies are infected; some are in critical condition and will die no matter what kind of government antibiotic we try to keep them alive. But instead of letting them fail we're trying all sorts of experimental techniques. And they're all failing. Now we're all in danger.
I have hope — I really do. But this is deeper than most people think it is. Now is not the time to keep listening to the so-called experts who missed this the first time around. It's time to start listening to your gut.
Bailouts and spending can't save us, but common sense can.

Q: riot js ternary for conditional onClick event I want to conditionally assign an event handler in a riot tag... so I tried the below:

But it thinks that hasEmailMsg / hasMobileMsg are the callback functions... any ideas on how to achieve this?

A: Haven't used Riot.js, but it doesn't look like you're using the ordinary JavaScript ternary syntax. Have you tried a syntax like:

where doNothing is just a function that.. does nothing. (Assuming that's the behaviour you want).
I'm not familiar with your exact setup, but I tried doing a short demo using JSFiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/jonahe/hfu52x0s/ where I got the ternary funcitonality to work. You probably have a better chance than I to see the parallels to your code.

The UK Project Racing team totally dominated Race 2 of the Giltinan 18ft Skiff Championship to score an impressive 2m2s win on Sydney Harbour today.
Project Racing's team of Andy Budgen (Scotland), James Barker (England) and Matt McGovern (Ireland) grabbed the lead shortly after the start and were never headed as they powered away from the world's best 18 Footer crews.
As the winner crossed the finishing line at Clarke Island the second placed Thurlow Fisher Lawyers (Michael Coxon, Aaron Links and Trent Barnabas) had just gone around the final wing mark off Shark Island.
The finish for the next four placings was a highlight of the race as Rag & Famish Hotel (John Harris, Scott Babbage and Peter Harris) came from a seemingly hopeless position on the first lap to finish third, 35s behind Thurlow Fisher Lawyers. Australian champion Gotta Love It 7 (Seve Jarvin) was fourth, followed by Benny/PSP Aust-Asia (Rob Greenhalgh) and Smeg (Nick Press).
Only 10s separated those four boats after a hectic two sail reach between Shark and Clarke islands.
After today's race, Thurlow Fisher Lawyers holds the lead on 4 points, followed by Gotta Love It 7 on 7 points, Project Racing on 8, Benny/PSP Aust-Asia 11, Yandoo (John Winning) 16 and appliancesonline.com.au and Slam (Grant Rollerson) on 19.
Once again, dark skies, early rain and light winds looked to be the order of the day before a light north east breeze provided good conditions for the race.
Project Racing led Benny/PSP Aust-Asia by 15s at the first windward mark, with Thurlow Fisher Lawyers in third place ahead of Smeg, Gotta Love It 7 and Gill, skippered by Dave Alexander.
Team Gill Sweden (Anders Lewander), Rag & Famish Hotel and appliancesonline.com.au all gybed soon after rounding the mark but the move was unsuccessful as the trio lost considerable time to most of the fleet.
The leading placings were unchanged at the end of the first lap although Project Racing had increased her lead over Benny/PSP Aust-Asia. At that point Rag & Famish Hotel was well back in the pack – around 14th position.
Over the next two laps of the course Rag & Famish Hotel worked her way through the fleet for a well deserved third placing.

The weather wasn't perfect, but we didn't let a few drops of rain spoil our fun. I even finished one of my watercolours with an umbrella in one hand! A few of us Dublin Sketchers sat at the front row for the Harold's Cross Festival's music event, as you can see in the photo (courtesy of Harold's Cross Festival website).
And we sketched to our hearts' (and ears') content. The two acts we saw and sketched were fantastic! Martin Tourish and Daire Bracken dazzled us (accordion and fiddle). And Eleanor McEvoy brought back memories from long ago.
Tourish and Bracken even played an encore so we'd have more time to sketch. And Eleanor McEvoy was initially worried we might be critics, but once she saw the paintbrushes, she relaxed into her set!
And the dog?, you're asking. Well the dog's owner was eating an ice-cream, and the dog knew he had to be good if he wanted a lick! I never got to sketch the ice-cream nor the man, but you can see him in the crowd picture above.
I did all my sketches in direct watercolour, getting ready for the 30x30 challenge coming up in June. Then I did one in pencil, just because I still had 5 minutes! I still need to add text to the pages. It will come to me soon.
Sketches from the other Dublin Sketchers are on Instagram.
