A copy of the Catechism for the Pope
Einen spanischen Katechismus...
Rome. Pope Francis regularly receives many believers for general audiences in St. Peter's Square in Rome. Recently a Priest from Argentina took this opportunity to hand him a Spanish edition of the Catechism of the New Apostolic Church. Concerning this, Argentine District Apostle Norberto Passuni writes: "It is advantageous for us as Argentines that the Pope comes from our country."
In the process, two photos were taken, which the South American Church leader sent to the Chief Apostle. The District Apostle describes the little story in the background as follows: "One of our Priests who travelled to Rome with his wife was able to personally present a copy of the Catechism to the Pope. An interesting conversation ensued, during which the Pope listened attentively to our brother as he told him he is a New Apostolic Christian and explained what this means to him."
Official presentation in the Vatican
On the occasion of a trip to Rome in January of this year, the New Apostolic work group "Contact with other Churches and Religions" was able to officially present a copy of the Catechism in the Vatican. Cardinal Kurt Koch, the president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, received the textbook and spoke with the New Apostolic delegation for an audience that lasted a good hour. It was the same Cardinal Koch who also sent a letter of condolence on the passing of Chief Apostle Richard Fehr (we reported) on behalf of the Roman Curia.

Blackstone-owned lender and servicer Finance of America to go public
End-to-end lending and services platform Finance of America Capital is the latest mortgage company to get in on the mushrooming IPO craze.
The lender and servicer, owned by the Blackstone Group's Tactical Opportunities business, is slated to go public in the first half of 2021 through a special purpose acquisition company at a $1.9 billion valuation.
After it merges with Replay Acquisition Company, Finance of America will receive a $250 million investment from institutional investors, according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the merger. Blackstone will own 70% of the company, which is expected to go public in the first half of 2021.
Finance of America, says its collection of companies has originated over $65 billion in loans since 2017. Its products include traditional mortgages, commercial real estate loans, reverse mortgages, fixed-income investing and title services. Blackstone has expanded its Finance of America corporation through a number of acquisitions in recent years, including pickups of Gateway Funding, Pinnacle Capital Mortgage and Skyline Home Loans.
Finance of America operates through retail, wholesale and correspondent channels. It does much of its business on the West Coast.
In all, this year the firm has originated $19.2 billion in securitized mortgages as of Oct. 1, 2020, according to data from Recursion Companies. It has sent $16.2 billion in originations to the GSEs, and its servicing book as of Oct. 1 was $14.5 billion, according to Recursion's data. It sold $1.69 billion in MSR as of Oct. 1.

Like most mortgage lenders, the Blackstone portfolio company has benefited from ultra-low interest rates and a phenomenal rise in refinancing business. Finance of America originated over $7.4 billion in the third quarter, the highest of any quarter on record for the Pennsylvania-headquartered firm, per Recursion data. In 2019, the firm originated about $11 billion in securitized mortgages, according to Recursion. Roughly 75% of its mortgages in 2019 were conventional loans, with about 18% FHA, according to HMDA data.
Finance of America had been considering a traditional IPO but changed course after speaking with the founders of Replay Acquisition over the summer, according to the Journal. Though the money raised in the deal goes to current owners, the person said becoming a publicly traded company will allow the consumer-lending platform to raise additional capital more easily going forward.
Other lenders that have gone public or are expected to go public include Rocket Companies, United Wholesale Mortgage, Caliber Home Loans, AmeriHome, LoanDepot and Better.com.

Q: In C++, how do you obtain an iterator on the second element of a vector of pair I have a std::vector<std::pair<int,double>>, is there a quick way in terms of code length and speed to obtain:

*

*a std::vector<double>on the second element

*a std::vector<double>::const_iteratoron the second element without creating a new vector

I did not manage to find a similar question in the list of questions highlighted when typing the question.

A: For the first question, you can use transform (with a lambda from c++11 in my example below).
For the second question, i don't think you can have that.
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

int main(int, char**) {

    std::vector<std::pair<int,double>> a;

    a.push_back(std::make_pair(1,3.14));
    a.push_back(std::make_pair(2, 2.718));

    std::vector<double> b(a.size());
    std::transform(a.begin(), a.end(), b.begin(), [](std::pair<int, double> p){return p.second;});
    for(double d : b)
        std::cout << d << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

A: I think what you want is something like:
std::vector<std::pair<int,double>> a;

auto a_it = a | boost::adaptors::transformed([](const std::pair<int, double>& p){return p.second;});

Which will create a transform iterator over the container (iterating over doubles), without creating a copy of the container.

A: The simplest I can think about at the moment would be something like:
std::vector<std::pair<int, double>> foo{ { 1, 0.1 }, { 2, 1.2 }, { 3, 2.3 } };

std::vector<double> bar;
for (auto p : foo)
    bar.emplace_back(p.second);

A: My way :
std::pair<int,double> p;
std::vector<std::pair<int,double>> vv;
std::vector<std::pair<int,double>>::iterator ivv;

for (int count=1; count < 10; count++)
{
    p.first = count;
    p.second = 2.34 * count;
    vv.push_back(p);
}

ivv = vv.begin();
for ( ; ivv != vv.end(); ivv++)
{
    printf ( "first : %d  second : %f", (*ivv).first, (*ivv).second );
}

A Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition (RAVE) to support local efforts to explore, document and conserve a large area of primary rainforest owned and protected by the Oma'lung tribe of Kenyah Dayak, in North Kalimantan, Borneo.
In September 2015 a team of young conservationists, photographers and filmmakers from Indonesia and the UK will embark on an expedition to explore and document the Tane' Olen of Long Setulang: a large area of pristine, community-owned rainforest in North Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo.
The expedition to this culturally and ecologically important area will concentrate on exploration and documentation, following a technique known as a rapid assessment visual expedition (RAVE), with the goal of supporting the long-standing local efforts to conserve the forest. It is a collaboration between Indonesian and UK universities, charities, and institutions, and the Setulang Village community.
The primary aim of the expedition is to support local conservation and sustainable development efforts in Long Setulang and the wider Malinau district. Second to this, the expedition aims to raise awareness of and build empathy towards the Heart of Borneo rainforest, the people, plants and animals that rely on it and their uncertain future, and the work of the expedition partners in the area. Finally, the expedition aims to support the professional and personal development of expedition team. To view the Expedition Objectives in detail click the headings below to expand.
Donate a complete image library to the people of Long Setulang, local government, and other stakeholders as a tool for promotion, education, and outreach.
The project is a collaboration between expedition company Beyond Exploration, Beyond Conservation, the Marine and Natural History Photography course at Falmouth University, Universitas Tanjungpura in West Kalimantan, Universitas Borneo in North Kalimantan, and the people and Tane' Olen Management Board of Long Setulang.
We'll be blogging on Expedition Base Camp during the run up to the expedition, and sharing all of our results, videos and films on here when we get back. You can also follow our progress and interact with us all over social media, once we get it all set up!

24 hours in the company of Cocoon
Life has three certainties: death, taxes and after the Cocoon closing comes Cocoon's after-party.
Stephen Hunt on 8 Oct, 2018
2018 has proved to be a challenging summer for Sven Väth and the Cocoon family. In a new home in the form of Pacha and a new Wednesday night slot, it was always going to be an interesting season after 18 long and successful years associated with Amnesia on Mondays.
Moving from a venue with two cavernous rooms to a venue with a single large room alongside an intimate second room was always going to require some adjustment - from the promoter and, equally, from the fanbase.
Throughout the successes, obstacles and lessons Cocoon has encountered over the past 18 weeks, it all boiled down to Wednesday 3 October and Thursday 4 October. The closing means after-hours.
Cocoon's 19th year on the island has provided fans, onlookers and personnel with some intriguing talking points.
It was time for one last shindig. Albeit, a double-header that would span 24 hours. And what a 24-hours it would be.
Stamina, commitment and staying power would be required. Don't peak too early, would be the order of the day. Let's just hope we could take our own advice.
cocoon signals off at pacha
Always a special, if bittersweet, event, we made sure to arrive nice and early. Finding a groove, knuckling down and watching a night build can be a real joy. With architects of the calibre on display here, it was especially rewarding.
Cesar Vinzent provided the tunes early in Room 2 and did more than enough to send us on our way.
What was supposed to be a fleeting visit to the roof terrace turned into a lengthy reunion. Catching up with old friends and new acquaintances, this really felt like an extended family homecoming.
Soon the dance floor was beckoning, and we made the right decision to swap chat for dancing.
Even to a casual observer, it was evident that Cocoon's closing was its busiest date of the summer. The loyal fanbase had flocked to say goodbye. As a result, space on the dance floor was precious.
Seth Troxler, making up for his earlier missed appearance, more than did the business for the warm-up. It transpired to be one of our favourite guest appearances of the summer, with Seth expertly balancing thumping tunes with leftfield oddities.
Seeking sanctuary in Room 2, we didn't feel like we were missing out on the action, as we got lost to the chugging deep tech being pumped out by André Galluzzi.
Throughout the summer Strangers In the Night has been more lit some times than others. But when it's been busy, it has really been a gem. Wednesday night was, of course, an occasion where it was poppin' off.
Often the setting for representatives from Flash Artist to take things deeper, this was the perfect example of where this carefully programmed room excelled.
Though we could easily have stayed here to watch Dana Ruh return to the booth for a back-to-back, the Cocoon closing needs to be seen out under the tutelage of Papa Sven. There is simply no other option.
Returning to the furnace of the Main Room, we find Sven in full flow, conducting his closing set with distinct pizzazz.
Ricardo Tobar's productions have provided us with some spellbinding Cocoon moments down the years. Now this one can be added to the list, what was seemingly the last track of Cocoon's 2018 season at Pacha.
Naturally, the remaining crowd were braying for "one more track" and, indeed, it turned out to be a false finish. Sven had one last go-home track, and the reprieve was DJ Koze's Pick Up - what else?! The faithful were sent home happy.
Enough time for a little r&r before we did the whole thing again...
KM5 AFTERS
Once again, with the backdrop of Km5's gorgeous exterior surrounded by lush foliage and with Sven pirate flag displayed proudly on the wall, a distinctly African vibe ruled the venue.
Tribal elements and ethnic beats were scattered throughout the set. These have grown to become a calling card for Cocoon closing after-party.
An obvious observation to make is that year-on-year, the Cocoon after-party brings arguably the best crowds of the whole summer. The full spectrum is in attendance, a mixture of nationalities, industry bods, island personalities, old guard and fresh faces. Though diverse, the constant is that everybody is up for a good time. A sea of smiles beams out.
Strapping in for the ride - and still feeling a little rugged from the night before, if we're honest - we knew we could expect the full Sven spectrum. Electronica, deep house, techno, house, pop, obscure records and upfront music. It was all on the cards.
seven shades of sven
Nostalgic Sven
Some tracks you can almost guarantee getting a play - Lil' Louis' seminal French Kiss being one of them. It just wouldn't feel like a Cocoon afters without hearing it.
Other vintage anthems that got a play included Underworld's Dark And Long and Aphex Twin's Windowlicker.
Future classic Sven
A testament not only to how big but also how versatile this track has been this summer, Neutron Dance has been played everywhere from EDM parties to underground events. Sven made it one of his own during Cocoon's campaign - and it got a deserved airing. It's a track to remember 2018.
Another Running Back track we think has the potential to eclipse Neutron Dance is the forthcoming Younger Rebinds, which also got a massive crowd reaction.
Label head Sven
When it comes to A&R, Papa is a meticulous curator. What makes a Cocoon Records track? Aside from the magic secret ingredients, the obvious requirement is that it needs to be a record that Sven would play himself.
Amongst the others heard included ROD's Abel and Butch's Countach.
An old Sven go-to favourite
Four years old this year, David August's hauntingly deep composition on Innervisions still works wonders for us. Sven waited until nightfall and amid the beauty of Km5's garden, it was an atmospheric moment.
Guilty-pleasure Sven
Little did we know it at the time, but this was the last ever track played at Cocoon Amnesia. A guilty-pleasure? Perhaps. But a great singalong moment and fitting tribute to our beloved island.
Curveball Sven
One of the great things about a Cocoon afters is you never know what Sven might pull from his record collection.
This jazz-infused 13 minute marvel from late Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti might have caught many off guard. The Nigerian multi-disciplinarian was a musical virtuoso and a true pioneer of African music, so we can understand why he might pander to Sven's taste.
Subliminal Sven
As the season draws ever closer to the finish line, reality dawns that goodbyes will soon need to be said. Similarly, nobody wanted to leave the party on Thursday night. Even after the last track had played out, many opted to stay and reflect on a crazy 24-hours on the island, us included.
Two parties in the space of 24-hours truly underlined Cocoon's stance. In a season that had both highs and lows, the Cocoon camp can honestly say that it blazed a trail through the final third, peaking in incendiary fashion these past few days.
Given the circumstances that unfolded during last year's off-season, it is perhaps futile to make assumptions - and far less predictions - about what lies in store for Season 2019.
One thing we say for absolute certainty is that Cocoon heads into its fabled 20th season riding a crest of a wave. It was always going to be a big one, and we cannot wait to see what Sven & co. have planned for us all.
Two parties of epic proportions that conclude Cocoon's rollercoaster 2018 campaign.
If you would like to relive Cocoon Ibiza 2018 then head to our designated Spotify playlist, plug in your ear phones, close your eyes and transport yourself to Wednesday nights in Pacha.

Although often regarded as a disease of childhood, asthma is common in elderly people, affecting approximately 4 to 8% of those above the age of 65 years. Despite its prevalence, especially late onset asthma may be misdiagnosed and inadequately treated.
The nonspecific presentation of asthma in elderly adults means that the diagnosis of asthma is difficult to make. Occasionally, atypical symptoms such as chest pain or tightness may imitate other diseases more common in the elderly, like ischaemic heart disease. It is therefore important to employ objective measures such as spirometry or bronchoprovocation testing to confirm the diagnosis.
Patients with persistent disease should receive inhaled corticosteroid therapy. Since inhalation technique can be a particular problem in elderly patients with asthma, a careful choice of inhaler device is required and thoroughly instruction, especially in the use of metered-dose inhalers is especially important.
Additionally elderly patients often suffer from multiple diseases and administration of numerous medications in this age group enhances the risk of adverse effects from oral preparations, thus the inhaled route should be preferred wherever possible. Inhaled corticosteroids appear to be relatively well tolerated when administered at doses below approximately 1000 µg daily. However, larger doses of inhaled corticosteroids may affect hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function.
Concerns about osteoporosis with long-term corticosteroid therapy (both oral and inhaled), the risk of arrhythmias or hypokalaemia with β2-agonists and the significant side-effects of theophylline may justify the application of anticholinergic and/or anti-leukotriene therapy. The risk of interactions with other therapeutic agents also requires a more intense monitoring of asthma treatment. Adverse effects such as hypokalaemia can be aggravated by concomitant treatment with other drugs promoting potassium loss including diuretics, corticosteroids and theophyllines. Additionally, relatively minor adverse events associated with the administration of ß2-agonists, such as tremor and blood pressure changes, may be of significance to the elderly patient leading to impairment in the quality of life.

Post Tagged with: "town council"
Conservative candidate Philip Staley has been elected to Nantwich Town Council to represent Nantwich South.
Mr Staley polled 602 votes in yesterday's election, ahead of Labour's Richard Banks (395) and Independent candidate Riddell Graham (304).
Nantwich residents will go to the polls this week to elect a new town councillor to represent Nantwich South, after the recent death of Cllr Norma Simpson.
There are three candidates in the election, which will be held this Thursday October 4 – Richard Banks (Labour); Riddell Graham (Independent); Philip Staley (Conservative). Voters can cast votes between 7am and 10pm at Brookfield Hall, Shrewbridge Road.
An election will take place to select a new Nantwich Town Council south ward councillor.
The position became vacant following the death of Cllr Norma Simpson back in July.

USPSTF Report Finds Counseling Does Not Reduce Illicit Drug Use in Pediatric, Young Adults
Madeline Morr
The recommendation applies to children, adolescents, and young adults, including pregnant women.
Although the use of illicit drugs among persons aged 12 to 25 years is common, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) concludes that the current evidence available is insufficient to assess the benefits and harms of primary care-based behavioral counseling interventions to prevent drug use in this age group. The updated evidence report and recommendation statement were both published in JAMA.1,2
The current recommendation replaces the 2014 recommendation; the updated version includes more recent evidence as well as information for those aged 18 to 25 years.
To review the benefits and harms of interventions to prevent illicit and nonmedical drug use in this population, researchers reviewed MEDLINE, PubMED, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Critical appraisal was completed independently by 2 researchers; data were extracted by a single reviewer. The primary outcome was the number of times illicit drugs were used; illicit drugs included cannabis, inhalants, hallucinogens, amphetamines, prescription drugs used for nonmedical purposes, and heroin.
The total number of studies that met inclusion criteria was 29. After reviewing 26 studies that identified illicit drug use in nonpregnant youth, researchers found that the pooled result did not show a clinically important or statistically significant association with primary intervention measures that reduced illicit drug use.
The remaining 3 trials provided a perinatal home-visiting intervention to pregnant Native American youth; 1 trial found a reduction in illicit drug use (cannabis) at 38 months but not at earlier follow-up assessments. Little evidence was identified for interventions to prevent illicit drug use to improve health outcomes such as mortality, educational attainment, or legal outcomes.
Across all 29 trials, only 1 trial reported on harms and found no statistically significant group differences.
"Because of limited and inadequate evidence, the [USPSTF] concludes that the benefits and harms of primary care–based interventions to prevent illicit drug use in children, adolescents, and young adults are uncertain and that the evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms," concluded the authors. "More research is needed."

United Nations : The denial of Religious Freedom in Pakistan
Home » CAP Publications » United Nations : The denial of Religious Freedom in Pakistan
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 13 November 2017
CAP Liberté de Conscience – UN Geneva Universal Periodic Review Side-Event : Highlights the Ongoing and Systematic Persecution of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Pakistan
GENEVA: Today, the Coordination of Associations and Individuals for Freedom of Conscience, (CAP) held a side event at the Palais des Nations alongside Pakistan's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) by the United Nations Human Rights Council. The side event reflected on the challenges facing religious communities in Pakistan, particularly the country's draconian anti-Ahmadi and Blasphemy laws that have been used by the state to persecute religious communities for more than 40 years.
With representatives of international NGOs and various UN Missions in attendance, this timely event highlighted the plight of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Declared non-Muslim by Pakistan's Constitution in 1974, the sect remains among the most marginalised religious communities in the world. Faith-based hate and discrimination against the community is being propagated at the highest levels of the Pakistani government.
Most recently three members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community were sentenced to death in Pakistan under false blasphemy charges.
This escalating and state-sponsored persecution is of particular concern due to Pakistan's upcoming general elections in 2018. The side event brought much needed attention to the fact that Ahmadis in Pakistan are facing an electoral apartheid unlike any other citizen in the country and are the only disenfranchised community in Pakistan.
The event was headlined by an international panel of experts and also featured messages of support from Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, the UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Religion, who stressed the need for urgent action to end the systemic persecution of Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan which he noted was "legally sanctioned" by the laws. He added that the persecution was impacting on all communities and called on Pakistan to implement in full the recommendations of the UPR.
Jim Shannon MP (Chair of the UK All Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion or Belief) and Siobhain McDonagh MP (Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK) also sent messages of support urging for an end to all religious discrimination in Pakistan.
Speakers included Sir Iftikhar Ayaz, Chairman of the International Human Rights Committee, Dr. Aaron Rhodes, President of the Forum for Religious Freedom Europe, Mahmood Ahmad, General Secretary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Lawyers Association USA, and Baseer Naveed from the Asian Human Rights Commission.
The event was moderated by Thierry Valle, President CAP Liberté de Conscience who further underscored the significance of the issue saying,
"This side event has laid plain that 70 years on from the creation of Pakistan it is still not living up to Jinnah's vision of Pakistan as a country with complete freedom of religion for all.
"The Pakistan Government must act to end the Federal laws targeting the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and the daily persecution faced by Christians, Shias, Ahmadis and other communities."

The Alamo: 13 Days to Glory is a 1987 American Western television miniseries later edited into a feature film about the 1836 Battle of the Alamo written and directed by Burt Kennedy, starring James Arness as James Bowie, Brian Keith as Davy Crockett, Alec Baldwin as William Barrett Travis, Raul Julia as Antonio López de Santa Anna, and featuring a single scene cameo by Lorne Greene as Sam Houston. Unlike most other films about the Alamo — the most prominent other exception being the 1955 film The Last Command (which was released during the cultural frenzy created by Walt Disney's Davy Crockett television miniseries) — it focuses on Bowie as the main character rather than Crockett.

The production was shot at Alamo Village, the Alamo replica built by John Wayne for his lavish 1960 film The Alamo.

Much of the footage of the final battle scene was recycled from earlier films.

Premise
Against orders and no hope of relief Texas patriots led by Bill Travis (Alec Baldwin), Jim Bowie (James Arness) and Davy Crockett (Brian Keith) defend the Alamo against the overwhelming Mexican forces led by the merciless General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (Raul Julia).

Q: Derivative of the Gamma function How do you prove that
$$
\Gamma'(1)=-\gamma,
$$
where $\gamma$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant?

A: Consider the integral form of the Gamma function,
\begin{align}
\Gamma(x) = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-t} \, t^{x-1} \, dt
\end{align}
taking the derivative with respect to $x$ yields
\begin{align}
\Gamma'(x) = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-t} \, t^{x-1} \, \ln(t) \, dt.
\end{align}
Setting $x=1$ leads to
\begin{align}
\Gamma'(1) = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-t} \, \ln(t) \, dt.
\end{align}
This is one of the many definitions of the Euler-Mascheroni constant. Hence,
\begin{align}
\Gamma'(1) = - \gamma = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-t} \, \ln(t) \, dt.
\end{align}

A: The Weierstrass product for the $\Gamma$ function gives:
$$\Gamma(z+1)=e^{-\gamma z}\cdot\prod_{n\geq 1}\left(1+\frac{z}{n}\right)^{-1}e^{z/n}\tag{1}$$
hence by considering $\frac{d}{dz}\log(\cdot)$ of both terms we get:
$$ \psi(z+1)=\frac{\Gamma'(z+1)}{\Gamma(z+1)}=-\gamma+\sum_{n\geq 1}\left(\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{n+z}\right) \tag{2}$$
and by evaluating the previous identity in $z=0$ it follows that:
$$ \psi(1) = \Gamma'(1) = -\gamma.\tag{3}$$

A: I was wrong I cannot delete my post because I having trouble singing in sorry for my lapse in judgement and failed math skills I will try to be better the solutions above work just fine.
$$\Gamma^{\prime}(z) = \frac{d}{dz} \int^{\infty}_{0} e^{-t}t^{z-1}dt =  \int^{\infty}_{0} \frac{d}{dz} e^{-t}t^{z-1}dt =
\int^{\infty}_{0} e^{-t} \frac{d}{dz} t^{z-1} dt =
\int^{\infty}_{0} e^{-t} ln(t) t^{z-1} dt$$
$$\Gamma^{\prime}(1) = \int^{\infty}_{0} e^{-t} ln(t) t^{1-1} dt = \int^{\infty}_{0} e^{-t} ln(t)  dt$$ this integral can be solved numerically to show that it comes out to $$-\gamma_{\,_\mathrm{EM}}$$

Interviews are high-stress situations. We spend a lot of time talking with clients on how to manage stress and be confident. One of the most common pieces of feedback we give to people is "Don't be afraid to brag." You will be far more successful at an interview if the hiring manager believes that you are confident and qualified for the job. As a coach, part of our job is to help you build that confidence. You have to believe in your ability to do the job to convince someone to hire you. Remember that your interview body language matters. The hiring manager will notice how you are carrying yourself and it will have an impact on the outcome of your interview.
When you apply for a job, there are anywhere from 50 to 500 people who are also applying. Applications are screened and ranked, either by an individual or a computer program. Interviews cost a lot of money. Companies have to pull people away from their regular job and want to interview the fewest number of individuals to find the best fit. This typically means they'll interview around five people for each open position. So already, you are at a minimum in the top 10% of the applicant pool. From here, just based on statistics, you have a 20% chance of beating out the other candidates to get the job.
If you make it to the interview phase, you are already one of the top applicants for the position. Someone reviewed your application and was confident that you had the skills to do the job. Otherwise, they wouldn't waste their time interviewing you. The next step is to show them that you are the best hire for the job, and to do that, you have to believe it too.
Non-verbal behav ior sends messages to the interviewers about your potential. They also have a real effect on your confidence and impact your hormones. Amy Cuddy is a social psychologist who studied body language and the impact. She found that people who assume a power pose (think, Superhero) for two minutes saw a 20% increase in testosterone and a 25% decrease in cortisol. Testosterone is a hormone that is responsible for making you feel more confident and assertive, while cortisol is a stress hormone. These changes in hormones leave people feeling more confident and less likely to be affected by a stressful situation, like a job interview.
I challenge you to spend two minutes somewhere in private in a superhero pose before your next stressful situation. Put your hands on your hips, take a wide stance, and puff out your chest. You might feel silly, but no one else should be there to see you. Afterward, be sure to sit up straight, take up some space, and put your cell phone away! Practice your interview body language in the days leading up to it. The more you project confidence, the more confident you will become. And remember, you are already in the top 10%!
If you can spare an extra 20 minutes, I strongly recommend checking out the TedTalk. There is a lot of great information that is useful for any situation where you need a little confidence boost.

U.S. Senate Speeds Up Self-Driving Car Legislation
Posted: November 19th, 2017
By: Gabriela Mejias *| Staff Writer
By Driving_Google_Self-Driving_Car.jpg: Steve Jurvetsonderivative work: Mariordo – This file was derived fromDriving Google Self-Driving Car.jpg:, CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=23386014
Self-driving cars, once a futuristic idea, are now becoming a reality. With Tesla, Alphabet (Google's parent company), General Motors, and Uber all working on self-driving car technology, it is only a matter of time before autonomous cars become mainstream. To help expedite this process, the Senate's Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee approved a bill addressing the roll-out of self-driving cars. The bill is called the American Vision of Safer Transportation through Advancement of Revolutionary Technologies Act, or the AV Start Act. Under the AV Start Act, automakers can obtain exemptions from safety rules that require cars to have human-controls. The entire Senate must vote on the bill but is expected to give it the thumbs up.
So what does this bill mean for automakers? First, it creates a phase-in schedule for automakers to produce self-driving cars. The bill allows automakers to sell 15,000 self-driving cars in the first year, and up to 80,000 after three years, if they can demonstrate the self-driving cars are equal in safety to traditional cars. Second, the bill names the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as the authoritative agency in deciding which self-driving cars can be exempted from regulations. In addition, the agency is required to develop a permanent rule system on self-driving cars within a decade.
Despite the bill's easy passage through the Committee, auto safety groups vehemently oppose the bill. Jackie Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, said the bill "lacks adequate government oversight and industry accountability." Other opponents say self-driving cars have not been proven to be safe yet, and the bill, in essence, allows them to skip safety thresholds. This calls into question what legal implications automakers might face should problems arise with their self-driving cars. The AV Start Act preserves the legal right to sue automakers over defective vehicles, so automakers will not escape liability when it comes to possible safety-related legal issues, such as product liability suits. However, one wonders whether it is a good principle to allow automakers to put under-tested vehicles on the road, only to face liability after the harm has occurred. Some opponents to the bill likened it to drug laws: the FDA wouldn't put a drug on the market until it's been proven safe, why would the NHTSA do it with vehicles? However, with 35,092 vehicle fatalities in the United States in 2015, most senators and auto-industry leaders say that it's time to eliminate the human-error component to driving, and to do so, the government must push self-driving car technology along.
Gabriela Mejias is a current 2L at Wake Forest University School of Law. She graduated from the University of Georgia in 2016 with a degree in journalism and is originally from Athens, Georgia. She has interned at National Public Radio and The Legal Aid Society and hopes to pursue a career in public interest law.

Dès l'apparition des premiers skateboards dans les années 1960 les skateurs ont commencé à personnaliser leurs planches, que ce soit en dessinant, peignant, ou encore en posant des stickers (autocollant) dessus. Pendant cette période la majorité des pratiquants étaient aussi des surfeurs. On retrouve donc une forte influence de la culture surf sur les graphismes des premières planches à roulettes. C'est le début des skate graphics.

Un peu d'histoire

C'est tout à la fin des années 1950 et au début des années 1960 que le skateboard fait son apparition. Frustrés de ne pas pouvoir surfer quand l'océan ne le permettait pas, des surfeurs californiens décidèrent de fixer des roues de patins à roulettes sur des planches de bois afin de retrouver des sensations similaires au surf. À cette époque le skate est encore fortement influencé par le surf et les planches ne sont pas très élaborées.

Il faut attendre le début des années soixante-dix pour que le skate connaisse ses premières évolutions notamment avec les roues en polyuréthane ou encore avec les premiers vrais trucks (axes reliant les roues au skate et permettant de faire des virages). Les possibilités d'utilisations grandissent, c'est le premier boum du skateboard. Des skateparks fleurissent un peu partout aux États-Unis et en Europe mais la pratique de la planche à roulettes étant dangereuse le prix des assurances flamba forçant la plupart à fermer. N'ayant plus d'endroits où pratiquer leur « sport » les skateurs restants se dirigèrent naturellement vers le meilleur terrain de jeu qui soit : la rue. Offrant de nouveaux horizons, cette dernière amène le skate à devenir ce qu'il est aujourd'hui avec son image, ses marques, et ses valeurs.

Du skateboard à l'art

Le commencement

Quand le skateboard commence à se développer dans les années soixante-dix les seuls motifs que l'on peut apercevoir sous les planches sont les logos des quelques marques de l'époque telles que Powell Peralta, Dogtown, Sims… Il faut attendre la fin de la décennie pour voir les premiers vrais dessins mais cela reste hésitant. C'est au début des années quatre-vingt que le graphisme des planches commence à prendre toute son importance. Des artistes comme Wes Humpston, Jim Phillips, John Lucero, Courtlandt Johnson étaient des précurseurs dans ce domaine. On retrouve, dans les graphismes de l'époque, une forte influence de la musique punk/hard rock, les têtes de mort étaient omniprésentes. Pushead était le spécialiste en la matière et a beaucoup influencé avec ses dessins réalisés pour la marque Zorlac.
L'autre grande tendance du moment était les dessins de Jim Philips, dans la lignée d'Ed « Big Daddy » Roth avec des graphismes fondés sur le thème de monstres conduisant des voitures dans le style hot rod typique à la Californie.

En 1988, Steve Rocco un skateur professionnel décide de monter son entreprise de skateboard, SMA Rocco, dont le nom change un an plus tard pour World Industries. Rocco est le premier à sponsoriser uniquement des skateurs faisant du street. Avec l'artiste Marc McKee ils marquent considérablement leur époque en utilisant le style cartoon en y imprégnant un esprit sale gosse. Ils ne se refusent rien en allant parfois même à l'encontre de ce que les skateurs souhaitent.

L'évolution

À travers ses réalisations graphiques, le skate devient un moyen d'expression et de communication. Les pros modèles (planches à l'effigie des skateurs professionnels) créent un lien entre le professionnel et l'acheteur de la planche. Les pros travaillant avec les graphistes pour l'élaboration de leurs modèles on retrouve dans chaque planche la personnalité de l'un et le style de l'autre. Les œuvres réalisées sous les planches sont extrêmement variées. Des événements socioculturels aux demandes les plus folles des skateurs, les domaines d'inspiration des artistes sont larges et diversifiées. Pour Todd Francis, artiste pour Deluxe Distribution, «Le skate a une riche tradition du design que l'on ne peut placer dans aucune catégorie ».

Parfois les artistes se servent du skateboard pour dénoncer, critiquer ou encore faire passer un message. On peut prendre l'exemple de la planche Blind « Accidental Gun Death », pro model de Guy Mariano réalisé par Marc McKee en 1992, représentant en style comics le moment où deux parents qui découvrent leur fils venant de tuer son frère avec leur propre arme. Ou encore la planche Prime « Fat America », pro model de Kris Markovich réalisé par Sean Cliver en 1995, représentant deux obèses aux couleurs des États-Unis. Caricatures, parodies de célébrités ou de personnages en tous genres font aussi partie intégrante de la réalisation artistique skate.

Aujourd'hui

Si les artistes savent s'adapter aussi rapidement aux événements qui les entourent pour s'inspirer dans leur travail c'est grâce à la fréquence de sortie élevée de nouvelles collections et modèles. Avant le milieu des années 1990 il fallait plusieurs mois pour sortir un nouveau modèle alors que maintenant il n'en faut presque plus qu'un seul. Cela va très vite et permet donc une innovation permanente. Chaque marque a sa propre esthétique, sa propre image et cela dans le but de se différencier des autres. À l'heure actuelle, on peut distinguer différentes grandes tendances dans le graphisme des marques de skateboard. Il y a les marques sombres avec Zero, Mystery, Heroin… les marques encrées dans le style cartoon, enfantin avec World Industries et Blind, les marques classes avec Girl, Chocolate… les marques tournées sur l'environnement avec Element et la liste n'est pas exhaustive.

Toutes les marques possèdent toutes un signe distinctif (logo, motif ou personnage) qui les personnalisent et permettent de les identifier. Parmi les plus connus on retrouve le personnage « Devil Man » créé par Marc McKee en 1996 et qui reste actuellement l'emblème de la marque World Industries. Hier comme aujourd'hui la décoration des planches a une très grande importance pour l'industrie du skateboard. Pour un grand nombre de skateur, et plus particulièrement les jeunes, le graphisme de la planche est le critère le plus important dans l'achat de l'une d'elles. Aujourd'hui il est possible de réaliser ses propres modèles de planche par le biais d'entreprises spécialisées. L'histoire du skate graphisme est loin d'être terminée. SMOOS stickers est une marque de stickers artistiques issue du milieu skate et a développé cet univers sur autocollant.

Les techniques d'impression
On distingue plusieurs techniques d'impression (imprimerie) pour le skateboard :

Techniques d'impression industrielles

Sérigraphie

Jusqu'au début des années 90, les planches étaient dans leur majorité décorées  par sérigraphie, ce qui permettait uniquement l'emploi d'aplats de couleurs, les différentes couches de couleur étant directement appliquées sur le bois de la planche.

Transfert à chaud

Avec le développement des outils numériques et l'arrivée des imprimantes à jet d'encre haute définition et des imprimantes à sublimation thermique, les possibilités graphiques ont été démultipliées. Les fabricants peuvent désormais reproduire des créations en qualité photographique et sans contraintes de nombre de couleurs.

Le procédé qui reste le plus employé de nos jours est le couple sublimation thermique/transfert à chaud. Avec ce procédé, ce n'est pas le bois qui est directement imprimé : on imprime par sublimation un film plastique (film transfert), lequel est appliqué, voire incrusté à la planche par pressage à chaud (presse à chaud). La presse utilisée est  généralement composée de 2 rouleaux en silicone chauffés à au moins 200°. Chaque planche, sur laquelle est simplement positionné le film de transfert, est entrainée entre les 2 rouleaux chauffants, et ressort « imprimée ». Le technicien n'a plus qu'à enlever les parties du film qui dépassent à la main ou à l'aide d'un grattoir ou d'une lime.

Autres techniques d'impression

On note depuis quelques années l'apparition de services (notamment en ligne) de personnalisation de décoration de skateboard à destination du grand public aux États-Unis et en Europe. La décoration est alors réalisée par application de vinyle adhésif (autocollant). Comme pour le transfert à chaud, c'est un film imprimé à part par impression numérique jet d'encre ou par sublimation thermique, mais est ensuite appliqué à froid sur la planche (principe dit de total-covering). Les impressions de ce type permettent d'obtenir des planches très bien finies, mais dont la décoration s'usera moins « proprement »  qu'une planche décorée par transfert à chaud (à l'usage : petits copeaux, relief...) (cf source article comparatif le site du skateboard).
