About Winter Park
Winter Park is a city in Orange County, Florida, United States. The population was 30,183 according to the 2022 census population estimate. It is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area. Winter Park was founded as a resort community by northern business magnates in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Founded on July 4, 1881 – Tales of Winter Park). Its main street, called Park Avenue, is located in the middle of town. It includes civic buildings, retail, art galleries, a private liberal arts college (Rollins College), museums, a park, a train station, a golf course country club, a historic cemetery, and a beach and boat launch.
In 1885, the Congregational Assembly of Florida started Rollins College, the state's first four-year college. Rollins College today remains one of the hallmarks of Winter Park. It is the second most expensive college in the state with a tuition of $64,972 per year. Rollins is a relatively good, small liberal arts school with a total student body of just over 2,000 students. However, the high price makes the overall rating of the school more into the middle of the pack of colleges around the country. The school's business school is the Crummer School of Business. where students can earn a MBA, is a premier Business School. It is the number one business school in Florida. Rollins has been and will always be an integral part of Winter Park's history and culture. Back in 1886, the Seminole Hotel on Lake Osceola opened. This was a resort complete with the luxuries of the day: gas lights, steam heating, a string orchestra, a formal dining room, a bowling alley, and long covered porches. Today, this street is a cul de sac called Kiwi Circle that is part of one of the nicest neighborhoods in the town.
Winter Park Library
The Winter Park Public Library was historically located at 460 E. New England Avenue in the heart of Winter Park. Its origins date back to 1885, when nine women organized to create a lending library for their small community, which was still in its infancy at the time. The Winter Park Public Library underwent major changes and moved to a new site. It opened in late 2021 on a new world-class campus designed by world-renowned architect Sir David Adjaye.

Marco Polo Project harnesses the power of human-centred design to create new forms of cross-cultural education for schools, universities and local communities. Our Education Impact Projects address both skills and mindsets. They are designed to transform participants, as well as the systems around them.
All our programs are developed on the basis of a rigorous design process conducted through our in-house R&D Incubator, the Marco Polo Peer-Lab. We focus more particularly on early-stage design and piloting. You can find a description of our key projects on this page.
If you struggle with a cross-cultural challenge and believe our approach would be suited to your context, if you would like to learn more about one of our projects, or discuss a train-the-trainer package, we would love to speak with you. Please contact us at info@marcopoloproject.org or through our contact form.
Out of the Box is a modular program that equips young people - particularly international students and recent migrants - with the tools and mindsets to develop more robust career strategies in the face of growing uncertainty. The program offers a core module of two hours and complementary modules focusing on building networks and gaining experience.
Design for Diversity harnesses design thinking to create a learning and social environment more supportive of international students, positioning those students as key agents of change. The program was initially designed and piloted for senior high-school students. We are currently developing an adapted version for university settings.
Switch-On is an independent consulting and training agency incubated through Marco Polo Project that specialises in preventing and addressing trust breakdown in culturally diverse teams. Switch-On nurtures team productivity and leadership potential by equipping participants with models to negotiate cultural and operational ambiguity in digital contexts.
Marco Polo Project leads an ongoing process of research and development. We are constantly incubating new projects and looking for spaces where existing programs could apply. Click below to learn more about projects in the pipeline. We welcome suggestions and ideas, so - if you're working on an aligned project, or would like to explore one - please get in touch here.


What makes this strawberry unusual is the distinctive bright red flesh - it's much richer in colour than traditional varieties. The mouth-watering, conical-shaped fruit are large, juicy and packed with flavour. Plus it's disease tolerant and will reliably provide you with a heavy crop of fruit, starting to ripen from mid June and continuing through to mid July. Late season variety.

Collecting Camelot: Rare Arthurian Books, Part 2
Mike Poteet
Someday, I'd like to play King Arthur in a production of Lerner and Loewe's Camelot. I long ago memorized all of Arthur's songs and a lot of his dialogue—including the show's last scene.
Maybe you know it; it's a beautiful moment. As Arthur prepares for what will be his last battle, he discovers a boy in hiding, hoping to fight at the king's side. Arthur knights the boy, but orders him to leave and live a long, full life, telling everyone stories of the Round Table and its quest for honor, justice, and peace. "Don't let it be forgot," Arthur sings, "that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment…" The boy, named Tom, runs back home to Warwick to obey his king's command.
With that moment (taken from its source material, T.H. White's The Once and Future King), Camelot makes Sir Thomas Malory, of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire, a character in the legends that he, arguably more than any other author, made famous.
Thomas Malory and His "Whole Book" of Arthur
The Arthurian content in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia was mostly military. But through the next three centuries, King Arthur started drawing other kinds of tales into his orbit, in England and abroad. In France, the verse romances of Chrétien de Troyes envisioned Camelot (a place first mentioned by him) as a scene of courtly love. He introduced Lancelot—King Arthur's greatest knight, Queen Guenevere's devoted paramour—to the legend's cast of characters. And in Germany, the singing poet Wolfram von Eschenbach composed Parzival, an epic continuation and conclusion of Chrétien's unfinished story of the Holy Grail, and a work that may have bolstered the Knights Templar.
Malory didn't create the Arthurian story we know today—in fact, only one short tale in his book seems to be completely original—but he did craft it, artfully shaping a myriad of stories into one largely continuous and coherent narrative, a "whole book of King Arthur" (as Malory himself called it). The "only true English epic" (Printing and the Mind of Man), Le Morte Darthur established itself as the definitive Arthurian plot for centuries. It remains the chief exemplar of Western literature's chivalric tradition.
The Questing Beast, from the 1893 Beardsley edition of Malory (BRB 101757)
The real Thomas Malory might not have been as endearing or idealistic as his musical theater counterpart. At various times, he faced such allegations as theft, assault, extortion, rape (twice), ambush, even attempted murder. When he died in 1471, he was likely in prison. He never stood trial; we can't know his guilt or innocence. But when we read his parting words in the Morte, we may sense more in them than false modesty or conventional piety:
I pray you all, gentlemen and gentlewomen, that read this book of Arthur and his knights from the beginning to the ending, pray for me while I am alive that God send me good deliverance, and when I am dead, I pray you all pray for my soul.
Whatever the merits of Malory's soul, his merits as an author are undeniable. "The words sing off the page," writes Christina Hardyment; "he wrote particularly well, in a dramatic, colloquial English that everyone could, and still can, enjoy."
Pioneering English printer William Caxton published Malory's book in late July 1485, giving this most British book its once and future French title by mistake. Less than a month after it came off the press, it demonstrated the continuing pragmatic appeal of Arthurian legend to those in power. King Henry VII, who won the Wars of the Roses at Bosworth Field, claimed Arthurian lineage; a year later, he named the newborn Prince of Wales "Arthur."
But if any political agenda motivated Malory, it remains a marginal concern. He loved the legends for their color, their drama, and their high ideals—the same reasons his readers love them, and his recounting of them, more than five centuries later.
The Lady in the Lake, illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley, 1893 (BRB 101757)
Beardsley's Art Nouveau Challenge to Chivalry
Rare book collectors sometimes speak of "holy grails"—books that are elusive but, in theory, obtainable. Sadly, the first edition of Malory's Morte is even harder to achieve than the Grail. Not even the most pure-hearted bibliophile can hope to acquire one; only two known copies exist. But you can add other versions of it to your Arthurian library, from handsomely bound modern renderings to elegant, artistic editions important in their own right.
One such edition is the first edition of illustrator Aubrey Beardsley's first book, The Birth, Life and Acts of King Arthur (a title drawn from Malory's own). Published in 1893-94 (in monthly parts; later bound as two thick tomes in gilt-decorated cloth, or three in vellum), this edition sallied forth into the marketplace as publisher John M. Dent's affordable alternative to the sumptuous volumes of William Morris' Kelmscott Press. It boasts over 400 black-and-white drawings and decorations by Beardsley, barely 20 and largely unknown. This "windfall commission," explains Simon Houfe, "gave him independence to work wholly as an artist."
Beardsley envisions Camelot in the Art Nouveau style for which he is renowned. But another sensibility, dark and decadent, informs his illustrations. "The ladies are very lank and often snaky-haired," complained one contemporary reviewer; "the knights are seldom athletic in appearance, and there is a vast deal of posing." This critic also dismissed Beardsley's Merlin as "hideous."
What that reviewer failed to recognize, or recognized and rejected, was Beardsley's implicit critique of the same chivalric ideals Malory's text celebrates. In drawing damsels and knights who, despite elegant curves and elaborate floral motifs, are fading away into nothingness—in shading the Morte with (as our own Embry Clark has noted) "a sinister element… over-sexed satyrs, sneering mouths, looming death"—Beardsley makes the same point with his pictures that Tennyson, in his Idylls of the King, makes with words: overreaching idealism often contains the seeds of its own doom.
Despite (or perhaps because of) the tension between Malory's text and Beardsley's pictures, the Dent Morte won the artist instant acclaim. These illustrations endure as the strongest of Beardsley's too-brief career; he died of tuberculosis four years later.
Triumph and tragedy, horror and hope, are often entangled in Arthurian legend. Perhaps that's one reason it continues to fascinate us. We recognize those struggles of light and shadow, good and evil, birth and death, as our own.
Malory, Beardsley, and countless other Arthurian storytellers faced those struggles, as well. Their experiences infuse their narrative and visual art, ensuring that Arthur's plea in Camelot's last scene is not in vain. We'll never forget the "one, brief, shining moment" at the heart of Le Morte Darthur—and we'll go on looking to glimpse it again.

¡Genial post! Mi historia favorita de la leyenda artúrica, es la de Tristán e Isolda.
Mike Poteet says: September 25, 2015 at 1:51 am
Mariana, gracias por leer, y por tu comentario. La historia de Tristan es otro buen ejemplo de las tradiciones que se inició de forma independiente del rey Arturo , pero encontró su camino a Camelot en el final. Una vez Malory utiliza Tristan y Isolda en paralelo Lancelot y Guinevere , creo que los dos cuentos se hicieron inseparables . ¿Tiene una versión favorita de la leyenda de Tristán?
(Mariana, thank you for reading, and for your comment! The Tristan story is another good example of traditions that began independently of King Arthur, but found their way to Camelot in the end. Once Malory used Tristan and Isolde's story to parallel Lancelot and Guenevere's, I think the two tales became inseparable. Do you have a favorite version of the Tristan legend?)

Q: Fock Space Proof of $(g(x)\phi^4)_2$ Mass Gap? Is there a proof that does not depend on Euclidean methods? Is this a proof? :
$V(g)$ can be written as $P+R$ where $P$ is non-negative and $R$ is $N$-bounded (and hence $(H_0+\lambda P)$-bounded). $H_0+\lambda P$ is essentially self-adjoint by this method. (These are short proofs depending on estimates on the kernels and $\phi < \sqrt N$).
By this theorem, $H_0+\lambda P$ has a gap for small $\lambda$. A gap is stable under the relatively bounded perturbation $\lambda R$, so $H_0+\lambda V$ has a gap for small $\lambda$.

In some parts of Canada, residents do not have access to journalism about community issues and institutions through local newspapers, community radio, television or other news media. These gaps in coverage mean that citizens do not have necessary information about news, issues and events that affect them and their day-to-day lives.
The Local Journalism Initiative aims to change that.

Q: Background image 100% Sempre tive essa curiosidade, de como deixar a imagem de background 100% de acordo com o monitor ( Todos nós sabemos que existem diversas medidas). Então me disseram que seria um script em JS ou jQuery, não me lembro muito bem, e ele funcionava da seguinte forma:
Você cria diversas imagens com as seguintes medidas:
1024x768-
1280x768-
1360x768-
1366x768-

São resoluções do meu notebook, pode ser que tenham outras medidas.
Quando você acessa o site, esse script faz a leitura da medida e carrega tal imagem.
é dessa forma mesmo que funciona? Teria a possibilidade de fazer isso no CSS?
Exemplo em um site : http://www.adobe.com/br/products/dreamweaver.html

A: Existem diversas técnicas para obter uma imagem a ocupar toda a largura e altura do ecrã. Cada técnica é considerada adequada para determinado cenário pois podemos lidar com o problema via JavaScript, CSS ou no lado do servidor.
Nesta resposta as soluções fazem uso de JavaScript com recurso a jQuery.
jQuery
Imagem consoante largura do ecrã
Este Plugin funciona da forma que tu indicas na pergunta, ou seja, ele faz uso de diversas imagens carregando a mais adequada consoante a largura do ecrã:
(function() {

var win = $(window);

win.resize(function() {

    var win_w = win.width(),
        win_h = win.height(),
        $bg    = $("#bg");

    // Carregar imagem de fundo mais estreita com base na
    // largura do ecrã, mas nunca carregar nada mais estreito
    // do que o que já está carregado, se alguma coisa estiver.
    var available = [
      1024, 1280, 1366,
      1400, 1680, 1920,
      2560, 3840, 4860
    ];

    var current = $bg.attr('src').match(/([0-9]+)/) ? RegExp.$1 : null;

    if (!current || ((current < win_w) && (current < available[available.length - 1]))) {

      var chosen = available[available.length - 1];

      for (var i=0; i<available.length; i++) {
        if (available[i] >= win_w) {
          chosen = available[i];
          break;
        }
      }

      // Definir a nova imagem
      $bg.attr('src', '/img/bg/' + chosen + '.jpg');

      // para testar...
      // console.log('Chosen background: ' + chosen);

    }

    // Determinar se a largura ou a altura deve ser de 100%
    if ((win_w / win_h) < ($bg.width() / $bg.height())) {
      $bg.css({height: '100%', width: 'auto'});
    } else {
      $bg.css({width: '100%', height: 'auto'});
    }

  }).resize();

})(jQuery);

#banner{
    background:url('https://dq197.infusionsoft.com/Download?Id=2300') no-repeat;
    background-size:contain;
    width:100%;
    height:260px;
}

O valor contain (Inglês) na propriedade background-size permite:

Esta palavra-chave especifica que a imagem de fundo deve ser dimensionada para ser tão grande quanto possível, assegurando ao mesmo tempo que as suas dimensões são menores ou iguais às dimensões correspondentes da zona de posicionamento do fundo.

body {
    background: url(caminho_para_a_imagem);
    background-size: cover;
}

cover: Redimenciona a imagem para preencher completamente a area do background, mantendo a proporção.
Caso não se importe com a proporção, você pode usar:
body {
    background: url(caminho_para_a_imagem);
    background-size: 100% 100%;
}

The Architecture Foundation, on behalf of Better Bankside, is delighted to announce the winner of a competition to design a modular, portable, secure cycle parking solution to serve the Bankside area of London.
Studio Meda's design integrates a simple roof structure providing shelter from the rain with the locking facilities required for the secure storage of bicycles. The result is a clean, elegant and sustainable solution that would be instantly recognisable across Bankside.
Studio Meda's design will be built as a prototype later this year. The shortlist were selected anonymously from over 50 entries and interviewed by a panel including: Jonathan Bell, Architecture Editor, Wallpaper* magazine; Sarah Ichioka, Director, The Architecture Foundation; Deborah Saunt, Director, DSDHA; Giles Semper, Deputy CEO, Better Bankside; Ashok Sinha, Chief Executive, London Cycling Campaign and Sarah Walton, Assistant Director, Cross River Partnership.
This competition forms part of Better Bankside's 'Smart Green Business' Strategy; a project that involves working with member businesses to improve their environmental performance. This currently includes a free recycling scheme, public realm improvements and information events, as well as actively promoting cycling for commuting and work related trips though its Travel Planning programme.
The issue of cycle parking has been high on the agenda of Better Bankside for the last few years. Data from the Bankside Employee Travel Survey 2010 indicate that up to 17% of trips made to Bankside on a regular basis are by bicycle. Discussion with member businesses has highlighted the problem of finding space for cycle parking, particularly when premises are leased or in older buildings. Better Bankside has therefore set a target to establish a secure cycle park in the western end of the BID area by March 2011.
The Architecture Foundation is delighted to announce the launch of an open international design competition to design a modular, portable and secure cycle parking solution on behalf of Better Bankside Business Improvement District (BID).
The competition forms part of Better Bankside's 'Smart Green Business strategy' – a new EU funded project to improve local businesses' environmental performance. This currently includes a free recycling scheme, public realm improvements and information events. It is also actively promoting cycling for commuting and work related trips though its Travel Planning programme.
The issue of cycle parking has been high on the agenda of Better Bankside for the last few years. Data from a recent local survey indicate that up to 17% of trips made to Bankside on a regular basis are by bicycle. Discussion with member businesses has highlighted the problem of finding space for cycle parking, particularly when premises are leased or in older buildings. Better Bankside has therefore set a target to establish a secure cycle park in the western end of the BID area by March 2011.

What Does A Nature-Based School Look like?
April 11, 2019Blogby hms
A treasured part of the week for the Tie Dye Turtles Kindergarten/1st grade class is Forest Friday. That's when students in the class taught by Rebecca Drage andShannon Hostetler spend most of the day in the forest learning, exploring, and building their classroom community. They jump over the creek, say hi to turtles, read in hammocks, cook on a campfire, make fairy houses, and write in their journals. Don't tell them, but they are learning while having all that fun! They are practicing reading individually and aloud, using math to count firewood and measure items in the creek, and building their gross motor skills and confidence as they explore.
Building a Sense of Ownership and Follow-Up
The students start Fridays indoors by putting on clothes needed for the weather and grabbing lunches and water bottles. Then, they head out for the 15-minute hike to their forest classroom where they stock the nurse station, build a campfire, and settle in. They spend most of the day there learning and exploring.
Students practice math while gathering firewood
"The students really feel an ownership and take care of the space that they helped plan, design, and set up," Ms. Drage said. "They also develop individual ownership and follow-up as they have to remember to take their snack and water and have the appropriate clothing. We remind them that Mother Nature is in charge, so we need to be smart and responsible in our choices. When choices are poor, such as not bringing boots when it's raining, there are natural consequences that teach students meaningful, real-life lessons."
Connecting with Nature Fuels Minds and Bodies
Forest Friday started a year and a half ago when Ms. Drage and Ms. Hostetler wanted to find a way to connect with the outdoors and to engage students in meaningful, nature-based learning experiences. They were inspired by the book Balanced and Barefoot in which author Angela Hanscom writes: "Children are naturally curious and seek out opportunities to make sense of the world. When children are left to their own device, they experiment with their surroundings, take risks, make mistakes, and then learn from the mistakes. They problem solve, negotiate, imagine, and investigate."
The teachers soon began taking their class to the forest for short periods of time. They discovered the hike was tiring unless the students had a chanceto rest and learn before heading back to the classroom. "We've learned a lot of things through trial and error, but our kids have been able to be part of the process," Ms. Drage said. "When we encounter a problem in the woods, we have to problem-solve and figure out how to fix it together."
The teachers were committed to holding most of their Friday classes in the forest and quickly saw other benefits as well.
"Students are more motivated there to work together to find solutions, because there's no easy fix," Ms. Hostetler said. "They collaborate in groups to build bridges and forts, and when challenges arise, they are able to independently work through them to find the best solution. We've seen incredible growth in their stamina and perseverance, along with the powerful classroom community that is being built."
Ms. Drage noted other benefits she has seen. "Our class has learned to support each other as they take risks and try new things in the woods. It's amazing to see the ways we have grown and connected as a classroom family. It has also strengthened our co-teaching relationship as we take risks as educators moving our teaching outdoors."
Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, in the foreword to Balanced and Barefoot, wrote: "Too many of today's children miss out on the full sensory richness offered beyond the walls of a classroom or home. Manageable risk and independent, imaginative play are essential not only to physical health but to the development of self-directed young minds."
Teachers and education experts agree that learning in nature provides many benefits to kids. Here's what a few of our students said they like about Forest Friday.
Hannah S. is a Kindergarten student in the class. She shared her favorite Forest Friday activities – and one that scared her initially. "You can jump over the creek or walk to a place to cross. Other people jump over it a lot, so I tried and got back over. It kind of scares me, but I do it. We build fairy houses and say 'hi' to the turtles. It's fun, kind of tiring, and we get dirty. We get to hang hammocks sometimes, and swing, relax, and read books. It's a two-person hammock, so we read together. At home, we look at weather apps so I can pick the clothes I need for Forest Friday. Sometimes it's cold, so I bring more clothes."
Reading in hammocks is a Forest Friday favorite.
William B. is a first grader in the class. "I like everything! We build fairy houses and houses for us. We jump over the creek. I'm not afraid of that. We hike, sit on logs, and have a root wall in the creek for climbing. We count things in the woods, like 1,000 sticks! We bring a jumpsuit for rain and rain boots or cowboy boots. We read, do math, and write in our journals. Once, we saw deer just standing there while we were writing. One day we were looking at frogs on a tree and didn't see a snake. Then, I saw it and said 'snake', and we all ran away. The teachers made us go back and identify it. It was not poisonous."
Last year, Kevin K. was a first grader in the class. He now encourages others to take action from what he learned. "I liked
buildingcampfiress, building forts, and cleaning out the stream. I feel like if you can't have empathy for the environment then you can't understand how living beings like trees and plants suffer and die because we cut down forests. If we have no plants or trees left, then we will suffocate because trees give us oxygen. Even if you think that you are not doing harm by pulling up grass on the meadow, if everyone did that then we would have no grass on the meadow. I cleaned up trash in the stream so animals wouldn't eat it and die and then other animals would eat them and die. I thought it was important, and I couldn't do it
Jumping the creek and building bridges helps boost students' gross motor skills and confidence.
alone. I learned you won't last long in the wild on your own – you need your friends."
It's obvious from the words of these children and the passion of their teachers that the joy, wonder, and connection to nature that happens on Forest Friday are an essential part of the academic, social, and emotional learning experience.

Homborsund lighthouse was established in 1879 and belongs to the first generation of concrete lighthouses in Norway.
The keeper and his family lived in the main building. When the diaphone fog-horn was installed in 1951, a new dwelling for the two assistants and their families was erected. The station was automated and de-manned in 1992. The station is owned by the government and protected as a national monument under the Cultural Heritage Act. Kystverket is cooperating with local interests to facilitate alternative use of the premises.
The characteristic silhouette of "Homborsunds Fall" is well known to mariners. Homborsund and Homborøya also appear as a "nose" or headland coming up by the coast from south-west. Homborsund is therefore a well-known point of reference on the coast.
Before the lighthouse was built, a windmill at Homborøy, 8 meters high, served as a day-mark. A copy of it stood until 1911 when it was struck by lightning. Homborsund lighthouse is a coastal light that shall give the mariners a safe landfall in the waters between Lillesand and Grimstad.

Emily Jacir's recent installation at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, "Notes for a Cannon" (2016-17), which she has described as "throwing open her sketchbook", constellates histories of Palestine and Ireland in a magnetic field of correspondence and convergence. The work constitutes, not a didactic process of instruction defining the convergences and comparisons between two discrete spaces, but an ongoing, and ultimately collective sketch-work that keeps enabling the discovery of past and present interconnections between two sites that are geographically remote but bound together by historical, actual and analogical links. Both the land and the culture of Ireland and Palestine are marked by imperialism and settler colonialism and by an enduring resistance to them. The fragmentary and episodic connections traced between them may look like the debris of historical damage, but are charged with the openness to the future that the imagination and forging of life in common inspires.

Stoney is the debut studio album by American rapper and singer Post Malone. It was released on December 9, 2016, by Republic Records. The album features guest appearances from Justin Bieber, Kehlani, and Quavo. The deluxe edition was released on the same day. It features an additional guest appearance from 2 Chainz. The production on the album was handled by Malone himself, Mustard, Metro Boomin, Vinylz, Frank Dukes, Illangelo, Charlie Handsome, Rex Kudo, Foreign Teck, and Pharrell Williams, among others. Malone generally sing-raps on the album, which is noted for its woozy, contemporary R&B-hip hop production. The album also features influence from country and outlaw country music.

Stoney debuted at number six on the Billboard 200 and later peaked at number four on the chart. The album was certified 5× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The single "Congratulations", which features Quavo, was certified Diamond (11× platinum) by the RIAA and was Malone's biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit at the time.

Background
On August 14, 2015, Post Malone released his debut single, "White Iverson". The single became his breakthrough song. Due to his success with that single, Malone got the attention of a number of prominent rappers such as Kanye West and Young Thug, among others. Malone and Canadian singer Justin Bieber verged into a friendship, when Bieber made Malone as one of the opening acts for his Purpose World Tour to support the release of his fourth studio album, Purpose (2015).

On June 9, 2016, Malone made his national television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing the song, "Go Flex". In June 2016, XXL editor-in chief Vanessa Satten, revealed that Malone was considered to be on XXLs "2016's Freshmen Class" magazine cover, however, she was "told by his camp that he wasn't paying attention to hip hop so much. He was going into more of a rock / pop / country direction." Malone denied these claims, saying: "My love of music should never be questioned... I shouldn't be chastised for expressing myself in whichever way I see fit." He went on to explain that his mixtape, as well as his then-upcoming album are both hip hop: "I have a hip-hop album coming out in August... I made a HIP HOP mixtape promoting my HIP HOP album."

On May 12, 2016, in preparation for the release of Stoney, Malone released his debut mixtape, August 26th. The title of the mixtape was a reference to the original release date of the album.

On December 9, 2021, which was the album's fifth anniversary, Malone released Stoney (Complete Edition) on streaming platforms.  The updated version of the album included instrumentals of every song on the album besides "White Iverson" and "Feeling Whitney."

Critical reception

Comparing the album to Malone's debut single, "White Iverson", Glenn Gamboa of Newsday wrote that he "follows through with that style on Stoney, but it generally pales in comparison to the inventiveness and the surprise of that track." Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic commented that Stoney is "competent and listenable, but many others have tread this same path already. Post Malone has a way to go before standing out with his own unique voice, but there are signs on Stoney that it could happen."

A celebration from the heart this Mother's Day!
'Ma', 'Mummy', 'Aai', 'Mommy', 'Aami', 'Mamma', no matter what you may call her, the emotion of love that you have for her will always be the same! Mothers don't just deserve only one day of celebration in the entire year, but rather, need to be celebrated everyday! But why did anybody think back onto creating a special day for them?
Credit can be attributed to Anna Jarvis of the United States who worked hard towards creating the concept in celebration of the love and dedication by all mothers, whose efforts mostly run unnoticed. More so, the day was a celebration in remembrance of her mother, Mrs. Anna M Jarvis. To quote her simply, Anna said that 'Mothers Day is in honor of the best mother that ever lived – the Mother of your heart'. It was in 1914 that an official announcement declaring Mother's Day as a national holiday to be celebrated on the second Sunday of May.
Apart from its celebration in the USA, historically, Mother's Day was also celebrated by the Romans and Greeks in celebration of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele and the celebration of the traditional "Mothering Sunday".
But does this one day mean you go up and wish her a very 'Happy Mother's Day' or rush or give her an entire day to lay back and spruce up a special meal? Interestingly, according to a research conducted by Conductor.com, 'Cheap Mother's Day Gifts' was searched over 3000x/month! So are we really progressing in celebration of our wonderful mothers? Or pushing it ahead as a 'must do' that will save us a guilt trip for ourselves? Can we instead go back and recognize what she really loves and wants to do? How about a creative thought or idea to spoil her, not just today, but every day? Is she a fan of everything personalized or does she want a special gift? Or does she really want you to just take out time for her today?
Here is wishing all wonderful moms out there, a wonderful Mothers Day!

Workflow pattern represent recurring requirements in workflows, where workflow might include interactions involving both system and human participants. Patterns in workflows involving only systems are structured in nature [http://www.workflowpatterns.com/patterns/index.php ]; whereas human workflow patterns are unstructured in nature.Until now, we have found good literature on system workflow patterns; however these patterns are not enough to capture human interaction in real life workflows.
In my subsequent posts I will be identifying and grouping an exhaustive list of human workflow patterns in real life business processes, where grouping is done based on similarity of objective across workflows. The identified patterns can be used in a number of ways including, determining platform centric implementation, product evaluation for human workflow support, creation of applicable human workflow patterns catalogue to name a few.The workflow patterns are derived from real life process requirements primarily from financial services industry where as much as 70% of workflows involve human participation [. http://www.bpminstitute.org/research/research/article/research-brief-bpm-and-banking.html].
In an enterprise, a significant part of the business processes are supported by human workflows. Human work flows involve interactions among human participants and information systems. Often these workflows have fair degree of complexity as they are required to support long running interactions spanning more than one human participant and information systems. With maturity in BPM space there is an ever increasing need to support collaborative development, deployment, execution, governance and run time behavior modification of workflows involving human participants. In this blog I will be posting about patterns in human workflows and direction of evolution. Participants are welcome to enrich this body of knowledge by providing insights from their leanings.

damascus - Russian fighters have again carried out air strikes on targets in the Syrian Idlib province. That's what a rebel leader and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights say, a UK based organization that relies on local sources.
Idlib is considered the last large enclave still in the hands of insurgents fighting against the Assad regime. That gets support from Russia and Iran. In Idlib there are an estimated ten thousand fighters and millions of civilians. The most powerful rebel group in the province is the jihadist Tahrir al-Sham.
International fears of a humanitarian catastrophe in a major offensive in the rebel area. Recently, the American President Donald Trump and Pope Francis warned of this. UN envoy Staffan de Mistura has called for humanitarian corridors to be set up so that civilians can flee.
The Observatory says that the Russians stopped air strikes in and around Idlib on 15 August. Other pro-government troops would then have carried out shelling.
The Turkish authorities are preparing for a possible escalation of the situation. Additional army vehicles have been sent to the border area, say sources against the Hürriyet newspaper. Turkish observation posts in Idlib have also been strengthened and a refugee camp in the area has been expanded.
Turkey fears a new refugee flow and humanitarian drama as Syrian troops and their allies try to get Idlib in their hands. That province is considered a stronghold of opponents of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The Turkish minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu (Foreign Affairs) warned last month that a 'military solution' for the situation in Idlib would be a disaster.
The Turkish government has now sent additional equipment to the border. According to the sources of Hürriyet, it concerns, among other things, tanks with special observation equipment. He can monitor movements of groups of refugees. In Idlib, which borders Turkey, tens of thousands of civilians are located alongside tens of thousands of fighters.

For Outstanding First-Year Student, the sky is the limit
Posted on May 12, 2014 by Behrend Blog
Bangladesh women do not typically come to America to pursue a college education, but there's nothing typical about Ramisa Fariha, this year's recipient of the Outstanding First-Year Student Award.
For starters, the Narayanganj, Bangladesh, native, who recently completed her first year as a Biomedical Engineering student at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, is a diehard professional wrestling fan. She draws inspiration from her favorite World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler, Batista.
As a child, Fariha would watch wrestling with her brother, Sajjadul Karim Chowdhury. They both had their share of favorite wrestlers, but there was something about Batista that resonated with Fariha.
"Batista's favorite quote is, 'Work hard and the sky is the limit,'" Fariha says. "That's become my favorite quote."
But it's more than just an inspirational catchphrase for Fariha. It's a guiding philosophy that she has taken to heart.
Fariha has a lofty goal.
"In my country, a woman is always blamed when she cannot give birth, even when it's not her fault," Fariha says. "I want to one day create an artificial ovary, and I want it to be non-mechanical, so it can work inside the human body."
While she knows her aim is high, she's confident that hard work will get her there, and she's wasted no time at Penn State Behrend, swinging for the fences in her very first year.
Not only does she have a 3.82 GPA, but she is a member of the Lion Entertainment Board, event correspondent for The Behrend Beacon, Residence Life Service Leader for Center of Service, a member of the Lambda Sigma national honor society and the 2014-2015 elected president for the Muslim Student Association.
Fariha says she thought of Batista often during her studies and even rewarded herself with a silver Batista pendant after winning the Outstanding First-Year Student Award at the sixty-fifth annual Honors and Awards Convocation on April 27.
She says she also attributes some of her success at Penn State Behrend to the warm welcome she has received. She describes Dr. Mary-Ellen Madigan, director of enrollment management, as a "second mother," and says her professors and friends have also made her feel at home.
Fariha says winning the award, which recognizes a first-year student who demonstrates outstanding promise of character, scholarship, leadership, and citizenship through achievements in his or her first year of study, was a moment she will never forget.
"For me, when I heard Kelly Shrout, (presenter and associate director of Student Affairs), say 'Bangladesh,' that was the proudest moment of my life," she says. "A lot of people think of Bangladesh and only think about the negative things."
Fariha says the award made her family very proud. Her father, Ahsanul Karim Chowdhury, is one of the top lawyers in Bangladesh and has always emphasized education. Fariha's mother, Laila Nahar Chowdury, taught her to work hard and to not take anything for granted. Her brother, Sajjadul Karim Chowdhury, has encouraged her at every step along the way.
"This award shows that I'm here to do something special," Fariha says.
Fariha says she is excited to return to Narayanganj this summer, so she can watch wrestling with her nieces and start a new generation of fans. She knows some people say professional wrestling is fake, but she doesn't care.
"If you start to rationalize everything, you lose the fun in life," Fariha said.
Fariha hopes that more students from Bangladesh will consider coming to Penn State Behrend in the future. From the moment she started to look at colleges, Fariha said Behrend just felt like home, and she believes other Bangladesh natives could have a similar experience.
Her best advice to new students?
"Don't be afraid to be yourself. There will always be people who will like who you are and some who don't," Fariha says. "I would change nothing about my first year at Penn State Behrend because I've been myself."

Q: Estimating $\sum_{k=1}^N a_kb_k$ given the means $\bar a_k,\bar b_k$ and determining the error I need to calculate the following expression:
$$\sum_{k=1}^N a_k b_k$$
I know the average values of $a_k$ , defined as $\overline {a_k} = {\sum_{k=1}^N a_k \over N } $ and $b_k$ , defined as $\overline {b_k} = {\sum_{k=1}^N b_k \over N } $.
I don't know the standard deviation but one extra information that I have is that with some accuracy, I can say that all the population $k=,..,N$ are in one of the three different states and I know that what fraction are in each states. In terms of numbers, it means that $a_k$ can only have 3 values. I don't know those values, but I know that for instance, 80% of N have the first value, $a_1$, 19% have the value of $a_2$ and 1% the value of $a_3$. The same kind of information is provided for $b_k$
If only knowing these quantities, I have to make some approximation, I would like to know how much error I am producing with that approximation. $N$ is relatively big.
Any help is appreciated. :)
Narj

A: One possibility, is a crude estimate of $\sum a_k b_k$ as $N \, \overline{a}\,\overline{b}$.
If we have $A_k, B_k$ as the sequences when $a_k, b_k$ are arranged in ascending order, we have the bounds (by Rearrangement inequality),
$$\sum A_k B_{n-k+1} \le \sum a_k b_k \le \sum A_k B_k$$
We also have the following bounds (by Chebyshev inequality),
$$\sum A_k B_{n-k+1} \le \frac1N \left(\sum a_k \right) \left(\sum b_k \right) = N \, \overline{a}\,\overline{b} \le \sum A_k B_k$$
So both numbers are in the same (albeit possibly large) interval.  Unfortunately it is possible for both numbers to be at opposite extremes, unless you have some measure of how they could be spread and correlated. Not sure if you can do any better with the information at hand.

A: Mathematically, the largest the product can be (assuming all then numbers are positive and "reasonable size") is $N^2\overline{a_k}\overline{b_k}$ when all but one of the $a_k,b_k$ are zero.  The smallest it can be is zero if $a_k$ can be zero.  In an engineering sense, you probably have some information on how much variation is reasonable, which will allow much better assessment.

A: I don't think you can say much if you don't know anything about the distribution of the values within the sequences.
For example, you could have
$$
a=(1,0,1,0,\ldots),  \ b=(0,1,0,1,\ldots)
$$
and in this case the product is zero, while the averages are both $1/2$. But if you switch $b$ to be equal to $a$, now the product is $N/2$ and the averages are still both $1/2$.
