Goldman Sachs Gives Staff 10 Days of 'Family Leave' to Cope With Covid-19
Paul Clarke and Bérengère Sim
April 1, 2020 11:46 am ET
This story originally appeared on Financial News, a sister publication of Barron's.
Goldman Sachs has offered its employees worldwide an extra 10 days of leave to help them care for children or elderly relatives affected by the coronavirus.
The US bank told employees last night that they were entitled to the extra time off to handle the "unique personal circumstances related to the profound impact of Covid-19".
Bentley de Beyer, who took over as head of human capital management at Goldman in January, sent a memo to staff telling them about the additional leave. Schools have been closed as a result of the pandemic, placing additional strain on parents, and older people are more susceptible to severe cases of the respiratory disease.

"To support employees, we will now offer 10 days of family leave to our people globally to care for family members, as needed, due to Covid-19-related illness or childcare needs, including homeschooling," de Beyer wrote in the memo.
The move may put pressure on other firms to follow suit, starting with Goldman's Wall Street peers and rivals. Last year, Goldman was one of a number of financial firms to start offering generous parental leave and fertility benefits, as a trend toward new family-friendly policies took hold in the industry.
Also during 2019, improved parental leave policies were introduced at US insurer MassMutual and UK asset manager Standard Life Aberdeen (ticker: SLA.LN). However, most of Goldman's Wall Street rivals have not yet met its bar on time off for childcare, according to statistics compiled by Bloomberg.

Rachel Suff, senior employment relations adviser at the CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development, said: "It's very encouraging to see a large company like Goldman Sachs offering additional paid family leave to its staff where they have caring responsibilities during this pandemic. Many people's domestic lives are deeply affected by the virus, making it much harder for them to juggle work and family obligations.
"A lot of people will have financial worries if they are forced to take unpaid leave to care for dependents, although it's true that many businsses don't have limitless funds to provide extra paid leave. Where it is possible to be flexible and grant extra paid leave, however, employers will reap considerable benefits in terms of staff loyalty and engagement."

In Goldman's memo, de Beyer wrote: "We recognise our people are dealing with unique personal circumstances related to the profound impact of Covid-19, whether it be protecting their health, caring for a child whose school or daycare services are unavailable, adjusting to a new routine, tending to an ill or elderly family member, or managing feelings of isolation that can come from physical distancing."
The extra 10 days of leave apply "for 2020", she added, and come "in addition to the firm's many other benefits and wellness offerings, including other leave programs, that can add relief to employees during this period."

The next major data challenge might not be how to use large amounts of data, but rather, when to delete it.
More companies are dealing with obscene amounts of data because there are no clear rules for when they can delete it without violating laws or compromising risks, Harry Pugh, a veteran leader in technology policy and governance, writes in a recent Information Management piece, "Getting Rid of Data: Why It's So Hard."
Ironically, it may put companies at greater risk.
A recent CIO Hitachi survey found that most of this growth is coming from unstructured data - which Gartner predicts will account for 80 percent of the total available capacity by 2015 - but a hefty amount also comes from enterprise data, including transaction data.
Wal-Mart alone handles more than one million customer transactions every hour, a CIO UK report noted, resulting in databases estimated at more than 2.5 petabytes. That's the equivalent of 167 times the number of books in the Library of Congress, according to an Economist report.
All this data doesn't just sit somewhere, content to be left alone. It has to be backed up, kept secure and easily retrievable. That "keep secure" is where you can run into trouble: Zurich Insurance company's poor storage plan lead to a huge fine by the UK Financial Services Authority when it lost data on 46,000 customers.
A key problem here is the widely held misperception in the legal community that IT costs are trivial, declining naturally as a function of technology advances rather than headcount or budget reductions, and remain unaffected by blanket legal holds or the dictum keep everything.' This silo view ignores other departments' increasing, yet wasteful, management time spent and contributes to operational challenges inhibiting IT from working closely with legal and compliance staff on a coordinated approach to data disposition.
At its core, this is about information governance, but it's difficult to resolve because it's hard to get the right people to participate in data governance. The UK survey found that while 57 percent of companies say they have a governance committee in place, only 25 percent believe the right people are involved.
Perhaps the biggest organizational challenge leading to this information governance disconnect is that no single department can independently achieve the desired goals and benefits. Legal holds practices, retention procedures and data management practices must move past departmental silos and intersect to meet legal obligations and business requirements to efficiently and defensibly dispose of data.
But IT has to deal with the consequences caused by this lack of governance, which is why, ultimately, IT must push for an enterprise-wide approach to data and information governance.

/wee'niks/ An ITS fan's derogatory term for Unix, derived from Unix weenie. According to one noted ex-ITSer, it is "the operating system preferred by Unix Weenies: typified by poor modularity, poor reliability, hard file deletion, no file version numbers, case sensitivity everywhere, and users who believe that these are all advantages". Some ITS fans behave as though they believe Unix stole a future that rightfully belonged to them.

În geometrie dodecaedrul rombohexagonal sau dodecaedrul alungit, este un dodecaedru convex cu 8 fețe rombice și 4 fețe hexagonale. Hexagoanele pot fi făcute echilaterale, sau regulate, în funcție de forma romburilor. Poate fi văzut ca fiind construit dintr-un dodecaedru rombic, alungit cu o prismă pătrată.

Alături de dodecaedrul rombic, este un poliedru care umple spațiul, unul dintre cele cinci tipuri de paraleloedre identificate de Evgraf Fiodorov și care umplu spațiul față la față prin translații.

Teselări

 Poate tesela spațiul prin translații.
 Este celula Wigner–Seitz pentru unele rețele cubice centrate intern.

Acestea sunt legate de fagurele dodecaedric rombic cu alungirea zero. Proiectat normal pe direcția de alungire, fagurele arată ca o pavare pătrată cu romburile proiectate în pătrate.

Variații
Dodecaedrele rombohexagonale pot fi distorsionate în volume cubice, cu fagurele ca o stivă de cuburi deplasate cu o jumătate de latură. De asemenea, pot fi făcute concave deplasând cele 8 colțuri în jos cu aceeași cantitate cu care centrele sunt deplasate în sus.

Dodecaedrul rombohexagonal poate fi construit ca o contracție a unui octaedru trunchiat uniform, unde fețele pătrate sunt reduse la laturi, iar fețele hexagonale regulate sunt reduse la fețe rombice cu unghiuri de 60° și 120° (sau perechi de triunghiuri echilaterale). Această construcție alternează pătrate și romburi pe vârfurile cu 4 valențe și are jumătate din simetrie: simetrie D2h, ordinul 8.

Un-dieting
Here's a scenario you probably know too well: You hop on board the latest diet fad, put up with anger-inducing hunger and blood sugar level drops for weeks before finally reaching your target weight. You immediately stop this self-inflicted suffering, and reward yourself with all the cravings you've pushed aside, and before you know it, you're back at square one.
It can be very tempting to jump on board every new diet fad which promises quick results, but they're hardly ever sustainable eating solutions because more often than not, you'll resume your old eating habits once you've hit your desired weight. Miller's long-term solution to this is intuitive eating — the idea that you should eat when you're hungry and stop eating when you're full. By removing the guidelines that come with traditional diets and trusting your body's intuition, you'll find that you naturally adopt a healthier attitude towards food and body image.
As easy as it may sound, intuitive eating takes practice and education around which foods will help you tune into your hunger signals. Foods exists on a wide spectrum — from highly processed and macronutrient-rich, to the unprocessed, low-energy density, and high-micronutrient density options. The key is to make more nutritious choices overall, instead of worrying about that one meal or snack that you think will make or break your health.
Going back to basics
The food industry's industrialisation over the last century has meant that we're largely slaves to (very snackable) ultra-processed foods, which are typically stripped of nutrients such as fibre, leaving us with food that's calorie-dense and easy to over-consume.
A growing trend is the shift back to minimally processed foods such as fruits, meat, and starchy tubers. These foods typically take more time to chew, which gives your body a chance to recognise that it is consuming calories which in turn helps you realise when it is time to put the fork down. What's more, these foods are also much better for you from a nutritional perspective.
If going cold turkey on your favourite chips is too hardcore for you, Miller recommends the 90-10 rule, which allows for the occasional indulgence in your favourite snack — but only if 90 percent of your calorie intake comes from minimally-processed foods.
Plant-based foods
Plant-based diets have gained popularity over the last couple of years and this trend is likely to continue into 2020 for a variety of reasons, including purported health benefits, as well as increased concern about environmental and ethical issues, according to Miller.
While meat alternatives such as plant-based protein supplements are becoming more accessible around the world, they are still highly processed and not necessarily the best choice from a purely nutritional perspective. A typical meat alternative patty can often possess more calories and almost as much saturated fat as a beef patty.
A better way to eat green is to focus on the consumption of whole food choices such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes instead of processed commercial alternatives – benefitting both your health as well as the planet.
Gut health refers to the balance of microorganisms that live in the digestive tract, and can do more for physical and mental health, as well as immune system. Yet according to a recent review in the Journal of Nutrition, it's actually hard to define what a truly healthy gut is, simply because everyone's gut microbiome is unique to them.
Consuming pre- and probiotics products to maintain a diverse gut microbiome has always been the way thus far, but the evidence that they are effective is limited. One aspect of gut health that doesn't get enough attention, however, is dietary fibre from plants. According to the Institute of Medicine in the US, people should consume around 30g of fibre daily, but in practice most people do not consume anywhere near that amount.
Apart from reducing the risk of Type-2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers, fibre is what helps keep us full between meals, making it a great choice for those trying to lose weight. Miller advises getting at least six to eight fistfuls of vegetables and one to two fistfuls of fruit in your daily diet for optimal health.

2019 has been an immense year for the wellness industry. We've seen the keto diet take flight and gyms celebrating diversity with a multitude of crossover classes (yoga-HIIT, anyone?). There's never been a bigger focus on the importance of self-love, and the technology scene is now burgeoning with an unprecedented number of devices and services which are designed to push you further and harder when you sweat.
But it's 2020 and if anything, we're happy for a clean(er) slate. This year, we bid goodbye to obsessing over calories and processed foods, and go back to paying attention to what our bodies really need. To get the low-down of what to expect this year, we spoke to Sam Miller, Head of Nutrition for the Pure Group, who provided insights into how to better treat our bodies with our food choices. Abs are, after all, made in the kitchen.

Driving a rover on Mars from a command room on Earth is not an easy or intuitive task. Scientists and engineers cannot observe the often-treacherous Martian environment in real time, so charting a course for a rover involves a lot of trial-and-error inputting of coordinates and a separate software program to simulate the route. This kind of cumbersome data-manipulation problem is what students participating in Caltech's Data Visualization program aim to tackle, with the goal of developing innovative software to streamline the ways in which scientists visually manipulate their data.
The 10-week summer program brings together design students and computer science students from across the country.
In 2015, students developed a visualization tool to map possible paths for the Mars Curiosity rover, using colors and graphs to represent the amount of pitching (forward and backward tilt), rolling (side-to-side tilt), and yaw (rotation around a vertical axis) that the rover would encounter along any given pathway. These data existed before, but had never been encoded in an interactive, visual way.
"These aren't static visualizations, or videos. They allow researchers to interact with their data in meaningful, intuitive ways," says Hillary Mushkin, research professor of art and design in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science and a cofounder of the program.
Mushkin and her colleagues—Santiago Lombeyda, a computational scientist at the Center for Data-Driven Discovery; Scott Davidoff, manager of JPL's Human Interfaces Group; and Maggie Hendrie, department chair of the Interaction Design program at Art Center College of Design—founded the Data Visualization program in 2011. Each year, the four receive proposals from researchers, describing the problems they have with interacting with their data. Three projects are chosen. Two design students and three computer science students are selected from a nationwide pool of applicants to work over the summer on the projects; each computer science student is responsible for a single project while the two design students are on all three projects.
"We use a human-centered design methodology," Mushkin says. "This is a very iterative process. Students observe the researchers interacting with their data and learn what their workflow is, and how it could be improved. Design students create sketches and ask the researchers to 'interact' with them by pointing, talking, shuffling, and annotating the paper, while computer science students create rough drafts of a variety of possible approaches to coding the visualization."
Assistant Professor of Biology Mitch Guttman was among the researchers who submitted problems for the Data Visualization students to grapple with. His challenge: how to visualize, in three dimensions, the complicated folding of the human genome—the complete sequence of nucleotides that makes up DNA.
"Prior to this project, the method we used to visualize the structure of the 3D genome provided no features that allowed for easy navigation and interpretation of various regions," says Noah Ollikainen, a postdoctoral scholar in the Guttman lab. As a result, he says, "it was very difficult to search for specific genes of interest and explore the structure of the genome surrounding that gene."
Over the 10-week program, students developed a software prototype—the 3D Genome Interface, or Gin for short—that enables biologists to explore genomic structures. They can zoom in and out on different genes of interest and discover relationships between these structures and features such as gene expression and protein localization. The software also allows the Guttman group to compare genome structures among different types of cells, and to color the entire structure according to gene-expression data.
"This visualization is important because it will allow biologists to understand the relationships between 3D genome structure and critical biological processes that occur in the cell nucleus, such as gene transcription and splicing," Ollikainen says. "Understanding these relationships will give us crucial insights into how cells decide which genes to turn on or off and how different cells in our bodies can exhibit a remarkable diversity of behaviors using the same genome sequence that can be folded into different 3D structures."
Such data visualization could allow biologists to, for example, compare the 3D genome structures of cancer cells and normal cells, which could lead to new insights into how cancer arises and inform the development of cancer-targeting drugs.
Most of the design and computer science students come from outside Caltech, but this past summer Caltech undergraduate Matthew Edwards was selected as the programmer for a project with Professor of Geophysics Mark Simons. His group's task was to develop interactive tools to visually represent the movement of ocean tides and inland Antarctic ice streams over varying timescales.
"I started the summer knowing very little about glaciers, data visualization, and human-centered design, and finished knowing a good deal about them all," Edwards says. "I learned how to work with the end-user to understand their visualization wants and needs, and we did this by making many prototypes and mockups, getting feedback from the researchers, and observing their workflow and typical tools used, and iterating on that process many times. I've learned that any project that involves creating something for someone else can benefit from the techniques of human-centered design."
The 10-week program often provides only enough time to generate a working prototype. Several projects, however, continue to be developed. For example, the prototype Mars rover driving software is being funded for further development as part of the Rover Planning Subsystem for the Ground Data System on Mars 2020, the next NASA rover mission to Mars.
"Sometimes, just seeing something in a new way can transform one's understanding," says Mushkin. "We hope that this program can help to catalyze that kind of transformation."
How can the 3D structure of DNA be better represented support exploration of new relationships to its other functions? Visualizing the genome in 2D and 3D, this new interactive platform allows users to select and compare structures of interest at varying resolutions.
The Spacecraft Trajectory Design tool offers JPL mission designers intuitive interaction with 3D and 2D representations of trajectories with quantitative data query options.

INSTALLATION BY RYAN GANDER, GUGGENHEIM | NEW YORK
Intervals: Ryan Gander
Venue: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
1071 Fifth Avenue, New York
Location: Aye Simon Reading Room, Rotunda Level 2
www.guggenheim.org
(NEW YORK, NY – July 9, 2010) – From October 1, 2010, to January 9, 2011, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum will present Intervals: Ryan Gander, the third installment of its contemporary art series designed to reflect the spirit of today's most innovative practices. For his Intervals project, Ryan Gander (b. 1976, Chester, United Kingdom) has created a new, site-specific installation for the museum's Aye Simon Reading Room.
Organized by Katherine Brinson, Assistant Curator, this exhibition is presented in conjunction with the Public Art Fund's commission of a major new sculpture by Gander, The Happy Prince, on view beginning September 15, 2010, at Doris C. Freedman Plaza, Fifth Avenue and 60th Street.
From the utopian ambitions of the modernist movement to the overlooked details of daily experience, Gander's work ranges across a dizzying spectrum of forms and ideas. His meticulously researched projects–which have included such diverse conceptual gestures as an invented word, a chess set, a television script, and a children's book–engage familiar historical narratives and cultural paradigms only to unravel their structures and assumptions, presenting elusive scenarios that abound with interpretive potential.
In the Intervals installation for the Aye Simon Reading Room, a small library and study space located on Rotunda Level 2, visitors will encounter a scene of apparent catastrophe that relates to Gander's ongoing exploration of the schism between the Dutch artists Piet Mondrian (1872–1944) and Theo van Doesburg (1883–1931). These friends and creative collaborators severed their relationship in 1924 due to van Doesburg's belief in the diagonal line as a valid element in abstract art, which conflicted with Mondrian's insistence on a reductive visual language consisting of only gridded horizontals and verticals. Gander imagines this artistic dogmatism provoking a violent struggle between the two men that sends them crashing through a stained-glass window in the home of Frank Lloyd Wright, the architect of the Guggenheim Museum. In a mysterious temporal and spatial discontinuity, the debris from this accident has landed in the Reading Room, showering fragments of glass and lead over the books about Wright's life and work that are customarily available in the space. Accompanying this relic from the annals of art history is an artifact that has been transported to the museum from the New York of the future: a $25 coin, representing the inflated worth of a contemporary quarter by the year 2027, that has been glued to the floor in reference to a classic practical joke.
Ryan Gander and Public Art Fund
Public Art Fund presents a new commission by Ryan Gander entitled The Happy Prince, on view in Doris C. Freedman Plaza at the southeast corner of Central Park, September 15, 2010–April 10, 2011. Drawing inspiration from Oscar Wilde's beloved children's story, Gander will transform the final moments of the tale–the scene of the fallen statue–into a lyrical sculpture reminiscent of a romantic ruin. Using a sophisticated casting process with glass-reinforced concrete, the artist depicts the scene of the fallen statue at life size, but unlike the fragments of an actual ruin, Gander's work is one single, massive form. The Happy Prince is Gander's first public art commission in the United States. The artist will also launch the fall 2010 Public Art Fund Talks series with one of his celebrated Loose Associations presentations on Thursday, September 16, at 6:30 pm at The New School's John Tishman Auditorium. In a narrated PowerPoint presentation, the artist will string together a series of images, memories, facts, and histories in an engaging and often comedic, hybrid performance-lecture.

About Intervals
Fast-paced and modest in scale, Intervals is an experimental series launched in spring 2009 that allows the museum to respond quickly to innovations and new developments in contemporary art as they arise. Conceived to take place in the interstices of the museum's exhibition spaces, in individual galleries, or beyond the physical confines of the building, the program invites a diverse range of artists to create new work for a succession of solo presentations.
The exhibition series is funded by the generous contributions of the Intervals Leadership Committee. Chaired by Young Collectors Council member Jeremy E. Steinke, the group comprises high-level Guggenheim members who are committed to the realization of Intervals projects and who enjoy a privileged insight into the curatorial processes behind them.

I find Ben Wheatley to be a hit or miss filmmaker for me. He never really sticks to a particular style or even genre, but generally delivers an interesting film, except for High Rise, which was just a huge mess all around. I'm not even sure if it was entirely his fault, or if the book was just too difficult to translate to the screen. Either way, it was bad, which is a shame because it had potential.
But while Kill List was just alright, I enjoyed A Field In England so much that I'm always willing to give the guy another chance. I know he has it in him and well, it looks like maybe his next film, Free Fire may very well be that film I've been waiting for. Sure it's not all that original an idea, and I'm sure a lot of people will start comparing it to other similar films, but hey, when you come off an experience like High Rise, maybe he just wanted to do something more easy and fun, and Free Fire certainly looks to be that.
Some of you may have already seen this trailer by now, as it's been out for months and I'm only now becoming aware of it, but when it played before my recent rental of The Monster, I was kind of floored by it's frenetic pace and energy, and when I saw it was a Ben Wheatley film, I was pretty much sold. I'm not expecting anything but a good time, so I hope it can deliver.


Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Mountain View Whisman School District (MVWSD) is a district of diverse people who regularly come together around their differences through conversation. Despite that culture of open conversation, talking about how to best change boundaries to make way for a new elementary school proved to be a significant challenge.
MVWSD had tried to change boundaries twice before, first using a board committee and then a task force appointed by the interim superintendent, but met with strong resistance from a divided community.
Their traditional engagement methods weren't reaching enough people or letting them hear beyond the loudest voices to learn what was important to the whole community.
When Superintendent Dr. Ayindé Rudolph came onboard and made the district's third attempt at changing boundaries, he knew he wanted to take a different approach.
"When we went to draw the boundaries, we wanted to create an environment where people feel good about the process and feel their voices have been heard," Dr. Rudolph says.
He first tried holding a series of public meetings at each of the district's eight elementary schools. After paying a total of 80 staff to prepare for and attend those meetings, about 150 people attended. And those who did show up were vocal about a single topic, having their kids grandfathered into their current schools.
Dr. Rudolph and three people from his team worked with Thoughtexchange to reach more than 700 people and confidentially ask them what they liked and disliked in two potential boundary options. Those 700-plus people shared more than 1,400 thoughts and assigned nearly 35,000 stars while reflecting on thoughts shared by others.
When asked how it felt asking his community open-ended questions on such a contentious topic, Dr. Rudolph said working with the Thoughtexchange team gave him confidence.
In their previous attempts at changing boundaries, MVWSD had seen a "visceral reaction" from the community. Through his partnership with Thoughtexchange, he saw a much different result.
Along with including more people in a two-way discussion, Dr. Rudolph said the most important result of his exchange were the rich data and visualization tools he received to interpret the results.
"The data and heat maps let us pinpoint the concerns of particular communities," he says. "We could see how many people responded, what their thoughts were, and have that ready to talk about at a board meeting," he says.

Q: Codename One App killed on iOS only (by jetsam reason per-process-limit), randomly This question is relevant for Codename One only.
I recently discovered that the app I'm developing is killed on iOS only, randomly after some minutes of usage.
I copy at the bottom two relevant native logs. "Startpoint" is the main class name. The app is killed by jetsam reason per-process-limit. In the log it's written: StartPoint[11699] exceeded mem limit: ActiveHard 1800 MB (fatal). From my point of view, "1800 MB" doesn't make sense: I don't guess how I can use so much memory (currently without videos or images). Is it RAM memory, not Storage memory, right?
Do you think that it could be a problem of the memory management of Codename One on iOS (for example after one of the last commits), or a problem of my coding? I don't know what to do. The same app works fine on Android (tested for two hours).
I have a lot of very long PropertyBusinessObjects. I don't know if it is the cause of the issue, however, after similar user interaction, Android reports a maximum usage of memory equals to 132MB.
Thank you for any help

Blunkett says Blair's pledge on asylum seekers 'undeliverable'
By David Bamber and Colin Brown
12:01AM GMT 09 Feb 2003
Tony Blair's pledge to halve the number of asylum seekers arriving in Britain by September was seriously undermined yesterday after David Blunkett warned colleagues that the promise was "undeliverable".
The Home Secretary said privately that he would be treating Mr Blair's commitment as "a direction, not a target".
The rebuff to Mr Blair emerged as unpublished Home Office figures, obtained by The Telegraph, revealed that asylum seekers are vanishing at a rate of more than 200 a day and living illegally in Britain.
The statistics show that 329,714 refugees have been ordered out of Britain over the past 13 years, but have failed to leave. In virtually every case, the Home Office has no idea where they are. It means that there are now enough illegal immigrants to populate a city the size of Bradford.
The twin setbacks will intensify the pressure on the Government over asylum policy, which Mr Blair sought to defuse in an interview for BBC2's Newsnight on Friday by promising to halve asylum applications within seven months. One immigration charity dismissed the pledge as "pie in the sky", while Mr Blunkett, who is responsible for delivering the promise, also privately cast doubt on whether it was realistic.
'Safe havens' asylum plan
Asylum 'white list' extended
'We'll halve asylum numbers'
A senior minister told The Telegraph: "David said he is treating it as a direction, rather than a target. He thought it would be possible to do it by next year."
Mr Blunkett is confident that the numbers of asylum seekers can be reduced by 30 per cent by the summer under measures in the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 to speed up removals, but he believes that it could take until next year to cut the numbers of applications for asylum by 50 per cent.
The new asylum figures, which cover the final quarter of last year and which are due to be published this month, will show that more than 100,000 new asylum seekers came to Britain last year - the highest annual number ever.
Only about 10,000 were granted asylum. Of the remainder, approximately 8,000 left or were deported, leaving another 82,000 whose claims were rejected, but who remain in Britain and whose whereabouts are unknown. This means that more than 200 rejected asylum seekers a day disappear.
Oliver Letwin, the shadow home secretary, said: "The fact that nearly 330,000 asylum seekers are unaccounted for is further evidence of the utter chaos in the asylum system over which David Blunkett is supposed to be presiding."
A Home Office official said that calculating the number of asylum seekers who were still in Britain after having their applications rejected was complicated. Some could have left voluntarily.

It was reported to have been a pretty, nacked, blonde woman, who distracted the skippers from their work through her songs and by doing this, thrust many a ship into ruins.
The old brick arch wine cellar of the Winery Stahl, in which the wines are stored; the wine grapes are self-grown and the wines are self-made. Wine tasting for groups up to 30 people in the brick arch wine cellar. You'll become a romantic feeling with the lights off and set aglow in candlelight. "The wine tasting at Weingut Stahl is truly educational, with more varieties of flavorful German wines than most Americans ever realize exist. I think that is worth the trip in itself."
Only Napoleon took possession of the castle without a fight in 1796. He had the fortifications and the castle blown up with the exception of a few remains.
The castle belongs to the town of St. Goar since 1925.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network that provides organizations a cheap alternative to dedicated private networks. There are many reasons due to which organizations think about setting up a dedicated private network, but many of the organizations have to drop their plans of having a dedicated private network because the cost is too high. For such organizations, a VPN has been a boon as it provides the same benefits that a dedicated private network provides but at fewer prices. Whereas the VPN has several advantages, it has some disadvantages too. Let us have a look at the advantages and disadvantages of the VPN.
Ease of implementation: Setting up the VPN for an organization is not a difficult task. Experts can setup the VPN for an organization without much hassle. In comparison to setting up a dedicated private network, configuring the VPN is much easier.
Security: One of the main reasons that led organizations to setup the VPN in data security. Even though, the VPN uses public networks to configure private network for an organization, it is a secure solution to protect organization data from being accessed and misused that could have been done on public networks without the VPN. The information transmitted on the VPN is encrypted in such a manner that it becomes useless for unauthorized users. The VPN uses Tunnelling, Authentication, Encryption, and Access Control features to provide the highest level of data security.
Cost: There was a time when the cost of setting up the VPN was a biggest concern for organizations, but now there are third-party vendors (ISPs) that can setup and manage the VPN for an organization while eliminating the need for building an in house setup that demands purchasing several equipment, employ a team, and so on.
Scalability: Using the VPN provides scalability because depending upon the requirement, an organization can anytime contact the ISP for an upgrade or downgrade. Also, you need not to worry about the quality, as your ISP will take care of that. On the other hand, with the private dedicated network, upgrading or degrading a network is not an easy task. Whether you upgrade your private network or degrade, it will demand big investment. By using the VPN, you can save you from this additional cost.
Using the VPN does not really have many disadvantages except the one, which is speed. Depending upon the bandwidth package decided between you and your ISP, the connection can be slow, as the bandwidth is divided between the available users and also the VPN has to do encryption.

Q: Write to an existing pdf file and save it as a new file using itextsharp I have a pdf file with some data in it. Now, I want to use this existing pdf file and insert a table into it. Then I want to save the file with a different file name so that the existing pdf file remains the same as it was before.
Note: the existing pdf file was not created using iTextSharp. it was randomly downloaded. I have to use the existing pdf file like a template.
public void Main(List<string> jobpath)
{

    string oldpath = @"C:\Files\sample_new.pdf";
    string newpath = @"C:\Files\sample_new_1.pdf";

    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(oldpath);
    Rectangle size = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1);
    Document doc = new Document(size);

    FileStream fs = new FileStream(newpath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs);
    doc.Open();

    foreach (var list in jobpath)
    {
        cb.BeginText();
        doc.NewPage();

        doc.Add(table);

        PdfImportedPage page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, 1);
    }
    doc.Close();
}

With the above code I am able to add the table, but the contents of the old file is not getting copied in the new file.

A: With the following code I was able to add the content of an existing pdf into the new one. In this example only the first page was added.
string oldpath = @"C:\Files\sample_new.pdf";
string newpath = @"C:\Files\sample_new_1.pdf";

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(oldpath);
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle size = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1);

PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs);
doc.Open();

PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;

PdfImportedPage page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, 1);
cb.AddTemplate(page, 0, 0);

It's hard to believe it's been this long, but the series is nearly in its ninth year…
We're doing our best to continue bringing you works of yuri, so we appreciate all your continued support.
Also, when you spend all these years making 18+ yuri games, you become aware of certain day-to-day particulars as a yuri game producer. I'd like to take this opportunity to discuss some of those, if I may.
The Day-to-Day of Yuri Vol. 2: Artwork is a Surprising Headache!
Another thing I've realized while working on this long-running series is that the artwork for yuri games, compared to standard male/female romance games, is pretty challenging…
For starters, for event scenes, there's a pretty good chance that two characters will have to be drawn. In male/female games, it's not uncommon for sex scenes to display a lone female, but in 18+ yuri games, you pretty much always have two characters.
Also, acts like fellatio, or mammary sex, where only the male's penis is drawn (or where the protagonist is transparent) aren't possible in yuri games.
That alone means twice the effort has to go into the artwork… And for sex scenes involving two girls… the number of positions is extremely limited.
This is especially true when following the "no toys" rule mentioned previously.
All of this means that when the person in charge of the visuals for an 18+ yuri game is working on the art, there ends up being a lot of similar cuts… You know? It's a surprising headache (*sweat*).
You Can't Do Widescreen?!
This is something I'll occasionally get emails about from the users, asking "Everyone has widescreen 16:9 displays these days, so why is A Kiss For The Petalsstill 4:3?"
…The reason for this actually has to do with a problem showing event scenes…
No matter how you slice it, yuri games have a lot of event scenes of two girls getting cozy. This just doesn't fit a 16:9 widescreen. You get way too much negative space on either side.
Widescreen would work fine if they were sprawled out on a bed, but for outdoor scenes, they're usually going to be standing…
For optimal composition, you'd either have to have an ultra close up, or rotate the whole thing nearly 90 degrees. But if you do that, every image would end up having the same composition, and that would be really rough…
This is just my personal opinion, but when it comes to playing yuri games, I'd suggest rotating your computer monitor 90 degrees and playing it in the vertical orientation (lol).
One day there may be a "vertical yuri game" designed for smartphones. I'll leave it to you to guess when that might happen (lol).
Well, we're just about to that point for now…
Check back next week for another installment of the Day-to-Day of Yuri!

Der Raritätenzoo Ebbs ist ein Zoo in der Gemeinde Ebbs in Tirol mit etwa 80 Tierarten.

Lage
Der Zoo liegt eingebettet in ein Waldstück direkt am Fuße des Zahmen Kaisers, wenig entfernt von der Grenze zu Deutschland. Nachbarort und Bezirkshauptstadt ist die Stadt Kufstein. Die gesamte Fläche des Zoos umfasst 25.000 m² und ist barrierefrei angelegt.

Tierbestand
Ca. 600 Tiere in über 80 verschiedenen Tierarten werden gezeigt (Stand 2011). Es werden Kängurus, verschiedene Affen und Lemuren, Mähnenwölfe, Riesenschildkröten, Halsbandpekaris und mehrere Vogelarten gezeigt. Weiters verfügt der Park über einen Bauernhofbereich mit Hühnern, Pfauen, Hängebauchschweinen und Zwergkaninchen.

Geschichte
In den 1970er Jahren wurden in der Kruck in Handarbeit die ersten Tiergehege und Behausungen gebaut. Am 1. Mai 1991 öffnete der Park erstmals für Besucher. Der Vogelpark entwickelte sich stetig weiter, baute aus und wurde später als wissenschaftlich geleiteter Zoo anerkannt. Nach der Jahrtausendwende ging es mit dem Park kurzzeitig bergab. Die finanziellen Mittel waren äußerst knapp. Für die Adaptierung der Gehwege und die Anpassungen an die neuen gesetzlichen Anforderungen war kein Geld da. Der Fortbestand des Parkes war gefährdet. Im Jänner 2007 konnten neue Betreiber für den Park gefunden werden. Baumaßnahmen seit 2007 sind Anlagen für Berberaffen, Zwergotter und Greifvögel (u. a. Gänsegeier, Palmgeier, Gaukler) sowie behinderten- und kindgerechte Sanitärräume.

Seit 2009 ist der Park nach dem österreichischen Tierschutzgesetz genehmigt und anerkannt. Zum 20-jährigen Bestandsjubiläum 2011 hat sich der Tierpark zu den Anforderungen der ARGE Top Tierparke Österreich bekannt und wurde mit "sehr gut" für tiergerechte Haltung und zoologische Betreuung bewertet.

Home News & Analysis London skyscraper for sale at $461m
London skyscraper for sale at $461m
Tower 42, London's tallest occupied skyscraper, is reportedly up for sale this week by Hermes Real Estate and Blackrock's UK property fund.
Tower 42, the tallest occupied skyscraper in London, is expected to fetch £300 million (€339 million; $461 million) when Hermes Real Estate and Blackrock's UK property fund put the building up for sale this week, according to The Financial Times.
The 600-feet former NatWest tower near the Bank of England is the largest single real estate deal this year in the Square Mile according to the report, and reflects the surge in interest that is taking place among property buyers for major assets in key cities around the world. Included in the sale are five other low-rise buildings, including the Grade-I listed Gibson banking hall.
Prices in the central London market have risen thanks to a boom for prime property in recent months, and some are even back to peak levels from three years ago.
The fund managers who bought the tower in 1998 are reportedly looking to rebalance their portfolios with the sale, which will be advised by property agent Jones Lang LaSalle.
Tower 42 achieved a price of roughly £70 per square foot at the peak of the market, and deals are reportedly being negotiated at about £50 per square foot, although that price could surge even higher as the supply for office space tightens.


Helen Probst Mills is an attorney, a small business owner, and a leader in her community. Helen knows the value of hard work - she was raised by a single mother with no money and worked to put herself through school including law school.
Helen has a deeply instilled belief in public service. She has been active in her community serving on the Northern Moore Family Resource Center and as a trustee on the Sandhills Community College.
As a community volunteer, Helen has helped create early childhood education classes so that all children can get the best start in life. Helen knows that North Carolina schools used to be some of the best in the country, and it is shameful that we have fallen to one of the lowest in the nation in per-pupil spending. In the legislature, Helen will give schools the resources they need to succeed - including raising teacher pay to the national average and expanding early childhood programs.
Paving the path to job opportunities and higher education.
As a board member of her local community college, Helen worked on a program to ensure that students are able to attend community college and continue their studies even if they are struggling financially. The program covers costs that might prevent a working-class parent from attending so that they aren't left out of higher education. In the legislature, Helen will continue to fight for job training programs and affordable community college so that North Carolinians are prepared for new opportunities.
Helen will stand up to anyone trying to make healthcare more expensive and says that it is wrong that six hundred seventy thousand North Carolinians, including children, go without health insurance because they cannot afford it. In the legislature, she will support expanding Medicaid in North Carolina. This will not only give coverage to veterans, seniors and families who need it, but will create thousands of jobs in the well-paying healthcare sector and help the state gain billions in revenue, and reduce healthcare costs for all North Carolinians.

Home / Features and News / ETF Of The Week: 'Reverse'-Cap Fund Sees Flows
In recent weeks, the billion-dollar club has welcomed a curious new member: the iShares Edge MSCI U.S.A. Size Factor ETF (SIZE).
Since Nov. 14, SIZE has brought in $1.03 billion in new net investment assets, including a massive $658 million intake on Nov. 15:
Source: ETF.com; data as of Dec. 5, 2019
We noted this big inflow at the time. Since then, SIZE has continued to take in money; as of Dec. 5, the fund's assets stood at $1.46 billion, making it by far the largest of the three inverse market cap ETFs on the market.
SIZE's competitors, the Reverse Cap Weighted U.S. Large Cap ETF (RVRS) and the Invesco Russell 1000 Size Factor ETF (OSIZ), have $9.6 million and $7.3 million in assets under management, respectively.
Inverse-cap-weighted ETFs lean into the size factor, prioritizing high-risk, high-performance small caps to help juice the returns of broad-based equity indexes. But for years, the strategy has struggled to find footing with investors. However, SIZE's recent inflows suggest that maybe investors' minds have started to change.
Multiple Angles On Inverse
Of the three, RVRS is probably the truest to the spirit of inverse-cap weighting, or at least what investors might expect when they hear the term "inverse-cap weighting": The ETF inversely weights equities in the S&P 500 Index, giving the smallest stocks the largest weights.
SIZE takes a much different approach, weighting its holdings by the inverse of the natural logarithm of their market capitalizations. Natural logarithms—or ln(x)—are a common algebraic tool; a number's natural logarithm is the exponential power to which the irrational number, e, would have to be raised in order to equal that number.
(OSIZ takes a similar tack as SIZE, but uses the logarithm of market cap, instead of the natural logarithm.)

New Option to Treat Textile Wastewater
The SP Enviro, aims to use microbial fuel cells to process textile wastewater and generate electricity that will render this exercise energy-efficient
The SP Enviro, aims to use microbial fuel cells to process textile wastewater and generate electricity that will render this exercise energy-efficient.
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are emerging as an option to treat textile wastewater.
According to The Hindu, a startup called the SP Enviro, aims to use this technology to process textile wastewater and generate electricity that will render this exercise energy-efficient.
"Though we have developed the technology for processing wastewater from the textile industry, it can be used with any other industrial wastewater," said Dr. Priyadharshini Mani at the Biotechnology Department of IIT Madras.
The team is working on the restoration of a lake attached to the Integral Coach factory at Villivakkam in Chennai. In the process, a carefully selected cohort of bacteria is made to act on the textile wastewater placed in the fuel cell. These bacteria are isolated from the wastewater they are meant to degrade.
According to The Hindu, they feed on the organic material in the water and break it down under anaerobic conditions, releasing electrons in the process. The electrons are collected at the anode which results in a current in the circuit, because the bacteria form a biofilm on the anode, the electrons are collected easily by it.
"After a period, when the thickness of the biofilm exceeds a limit, it will automatically detach and bring back the thickness to optimal level," Dr Kumar said.
The team is working on a nanotech filter to improve this process, according to The Hindu.
"This is like a 'trickling filter' – where after thickness exceeds a limit, and it is difficult to sustain that thickness, the excess tears off," Kumar said. "When it falls off, it shouldn't get mixed up with the water. That's where the nanotechnology filter will come in, to remove the bacteria and get clean water."
The bacteria then take turns to act on the wastewater and purify it. If a dye is present in the water, it is broken to a simpler form by one species. According to The Hindu, this is acted on by another species and so on.
"It has a cascading effect," Kumar said.
With the prototype, they can generate power of around 1 watt per sq meter, they aim to get to about 5 watts per sq meter. This power can be used to sustain the process.
