Q: Gluing of two solutions to the same parabolic equation Consider the domain $[0,1] \times [0,T]$ and the uniformly parabolic operator $L -\partial_t$ with smooth coefficient. Suppose I have $u_1(x,t) \in C^\infty([0,1] \times [0,T])$ solving
\begin{equation}
\left\{\begin{aligned}
&L u_1 -\partial_t u_1= 0& \hspace{10pt} &\text{for $(x,t) \in (0,1) \times (0,T]$}
;\\
& u_1(0,t)
=f_1(t) & \hspace{10pt} &\text{for $t \in \big[0,T\big]$;}\\
& u_1(1,t)
=g_1(t) & \hspace{10pt} &\text{for $t \in \big[0,T\big]$;}\\
& u_1(x,0)
=h(x) & \hspace{10pt} &\text{for $x \in \big(0,1\big)$.}\\
\end{aligned}\right.
\end{equation}
Suppose I also have $u_2(x,t) \in C^\infty([0,1] \times [0,T])$ solving
\begin{equation}
\left\{\begin{aligned}
&L u_2 -\partial_t u_2 = 0& \hspace{10pt} &\text{for $(x,t) \in (0,1/2) \times (0,T]$}
;\\
& u_2(0,t)
=f_2(t) & \hspace{10pt} &\text{for $t \in \big[0,T\big]$;}\\
& u_2(1/2,t)
=u_1(1/2,t) & \hspace{10pt} &\text{for $t \in \big[0,T\big]$;}\\
& u_2(x,0)
=h(x) & \hspace{10pt} &\text{for $x \in \big(0,1\big)$.}\\
\end{aligned}\right.
\end{equation}
Question: Is $\partial_x u_1(1/2,t) = \partial_x u_2(1/2,t)$?
Reason: I think it is true since $u_1$ and $u_2$ solve the same equation. Also, their values at $x=1/2$ are the same. Therefore $u_3=u_1 \chi_{[1/2,1]\times [0,T]}   +u_2  \chi_{[0,1/2)\times [0,T]}$ is at least Lipschitz in the variable $x$. So $u_3$ is a smooth unique solution solving the equation with boundary conditions $u(0,t) = f_2(t)$ and $u(1,t) = g_1(t)$.

A: Absolutely not! Taking the difference $v=u_1-u_2$, you see that $v(x,t)$ solves
$$
\begin{cases}
(L-\partial_t) v=0  & \mbox{for }(x,t)\in(0,1/2)\times(0,T];
\\
v(0,t)=f(t)  & \mbox{for }x=0,\,t\in(0,T]\\
v(1/2,t)=0 & \mbox{for }x=1/2,\,t\in(0,T]\\
v(x,0) =0 & \mbox{for }x\in (0,1/2),\,t=0
\end{cases}
$$
for some left boundary data $f=f_1-f_2$ which is a priori non-zero, and your question amounts to asking whether the overdetermined Neumann boundary condition $\partial_x v(1/2,t)=0$ is satisfied as well at the rightmost endpoint $x=1/2$. Of course there is no reason why this should hold. For a counterexample, just take $f(t)=t$, so that by the maximum principle $v(t,x)\geq 0$ and in fact $v(t,x)>0$ for all $(x,t)\in (0,1/2)\times(0,T)$. Hopf's boundary lemma then guarantees that, since $v$ attains its minimum value $v(1/2,t)=0$ on the right boundary, necessarily $\partial_x v(1/2,t)<0$ there.

BUSINESS NEWS SOCIETY
Women in Social Housing relaunches as community interest company
9th July 2019 9th July 2019 Mark Cantrell	community interest company, gender equality, housing, networking, social housing, Women In Social Housing
An organisation established to support women working in a male-dominated social world has now established itself as a community interest community (CIC).
Women in Social Housing (WISH) completed the process earlier this year, and formally launched the CIC at the Chartered Institute of Housing's conference in Manchester last month.
A CIC is a type of limited company that exists to benefit the community rather than private shareholders.
WISH was established in London in 1998 as an informal group where women from across the social housing could support each other and share their experiences of working in a male-dominated environment.
Since then, it has evolved greatly, supporting women across every discipline of UK in both the public and private sectors while promoting gender equality.
It now has nine regions with a tenth set to launch later this year and as the number of regions and members has increased, the organisation said it has had to continue to evolve in order to deliver on its mission.
"Over the years WISH has grown from a small networking group for women working in housing to a large national organisation helping to attract young women into the sector, supporting women with career progression and working towards supporting gender equality in the UK Housing Sector as a whole and reducing the gender pay gap," said Debra Constance, co-founder and chair of WISH.
"In discussion with our regions, we felt that it was necessary for our structure to evolve, as our remit has, to ensure that WISH continues to deliver for its members."
As a CIC, if the company makes any surplus it will be reinvested into increasing activity to benefit women working in the UK housing sector. The Women in Social Housing (WISH) CIC has been listed at Companies House as a Community Interest Company Limited by Guarantee.
"This legal structure protects all our volunteers in terms of their personal liability involved in running WISH," said Nicola Dibb, co-founder and executive director of WISH CIC. "It has given us an excellent opportunity to consider a more efficient financial model, as well as bringing in governance guidelines to underpin more formally what WISH does and how it does it. A new board of directors will support myself and Debra in making decisions as to the future direction of the organisation and how our funds are reinvested to support our vision."
WISH says its annual membership programme provides women in in the UK housing sector with an opportunity to make new contacts and feel supported by colleagues in a safe and open environment.
Members can access networking-based regional events, which provide opportunities to benefit from career progression through personal development; building confidence from peer-group support; encouraging success from motivating thought-leaders and gaining courage to challenge stereotypes and barriers.
These activities are also aimed at attracting women to the sector and motivating them to stay and WISH continues to promote the housing sector as a career opportunity for women, attending careers fairs, giving talks at schools and creating promotional materials.
"We run specific programmes designed to develop future talent and break down barriers that can exclude women from the UK housing sector," Dibb added. "This approach addresses the gender imbalance in this traditionally male-dominated sector by showcasing the skills required, opening up career opportunities for women and encouraging more women to choose careers in the UK housing sector when they leave school, college or further education."
WISH also continues to campaign for equality and is committed to working towards reducing the gender pay gap across the sector and supporting diversity.

Introduction: Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial Cancer: Cancer of the endometrium (uterus lining).
Endometrial Cancer: Cancer of the endometrium, a common kind of cancer in women, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the lining of the uterus (endometrium). The uterus is the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby grows during a woman's pregnancy. Cancer of the endometrium is different from cancer of the muscle of the uterus (called sarcoma of the uterus).1
Researching symptoms of Endometrial Cancer: Further information about the symptoms of Endometrial Cancer is available including a list of symptoms of Endometrial Cancer, other diseases that might have similar symptoms in differential diagnosis of Endometrial Cancer, or alternatively return to research other symptoms in the symptom center.
Misdiagnosis and Endometrial Cancer: Research more detailed information about misdiagnosis of Endometrial Cancer, underlying causes of Endometrial Cancer (possibly misdiagnosed), or research misdiagnosis of other diseases
Treatments for Endometrial Cancer: Various information is available about treatments available for Endometrial Cancer, or research treatments for other diseases.
Causes of Endometrial Cancer: Research more detailed information about the causes of Endometrial Cancer, other possibly hidden causes of Endometrial Cancer, or other general information about Endometrial Cancer.
Statistics and Endometrial Cancer: Various sources and calculations are available in statistics about Endometrial Cancer, prevalence and incidence statistics for Endometrial Cancer, and you can also research other medical statistics in our statistics center.

A single day has yet to go by when I do not think about my experience on the High Sierra Leadership Expedition. When my mind wanders I see the golden hour illuminating the mountain faces until they glow. I see the wildflowers scattered around my feet and I hear the constant rush of water. I reminiscence on the beauty of nature and the most physically and emotionally challenging experience of my life. The John Muir Trail pushed me outside of my comfort zone numerous times every single day for 23 straight days. There was no way to predict the challenges and unexpected situations that each day brought, and from this I learned the value of truly living in the moment.
On the trail, the map accurately shows mileage, elevation change, and bodies of waters, but it cannot tell us the water level on a river crossing, how deep the snow will be or how our bodies will react to elevation. Once I accepted that every day would be long and require my full attention, I felt a release. No longer would my thoughts be occupied by worries about the future or consumed by planning; instead, my attention focused on the present moment. Quite honestly, I did not have any other option, for gingerly walking over a fallen log with a 45 lb. backpack in order to cross a fast-flowing river made my senses hyperactive.
Experiences such as this, seemed intimidating at first, but I had no other option except to push myself outside of my comfort zone. The JMT also exposed me to the power of the mind. When I felt physically and emotionally drained, I thought to myself, "I am here, and I am alive." Repeating these words reminded me of how lucky I am to be surrounded by such natural beauty and how I am mentally tough enough to continue. I wholeheartedly believe that without this positive mindset, I would not have completed the trek. I take these lessons that I learned on the trail to heart, doing my best to live in the present and think with a positive mindset.


Dan and I are both in transit this week. Dan is setting up a new home in Portland, Ore., where his wife will begin another temporary assignment as a traveling speech therapist and I'm in Miami where I'm helping my daughter create a new home from scratch after being accepted two weeks ago from a wait list into the physical therapy program of her dreams – with the provision that she be ready to start class five days later. If you look at a map of the U.S. and put one finger on Miami, Fla., and the other on Ferndale, Wash., – well, you'll see that creates quite the adventure.
But given it's Memorial Day – and Houstory is a company created to honor and preserve memories and home – I thought I'd share just a few words about the powerful memories created by stuff.
My uncle, Thomas Walsh, is one of those we will be remembering this Memorial Day. He was killed in Vietnam in September 1966 when the plane he was piloting was shot down. He had just arrived in Vietnam a month or so before. He was my mom's older brother and her only sibling. In addition to my mom and her family, my Uncle Tom left behind four of my cousins and my aunt, who was pregnant with my fifth cousin. My uncle was 27.
I was 2 ½ when died and have no real memory of him. But I've heard lots of stories, of course, and seen lots of photos. He loved baseball and golf. He was a great big brother to my mom growing up in Bellingham, Washington.
Stories are important and photos are great, but there is one thing in particular that helps me regularly remember my uncle (and also his mom and dad, my grandparents, who are also now both gone): their pasta pot.
They had a metal pot – which includes a fitted inner strainer – made specifically for cooking pasta. My mom tells me it was in their family kitchen for as far back as she can remember. My grandma used it pretty much every week, my mom says, to prepare dinner for my grandpa, her and her brother. It's nothing fancy and — if you saw it in garage sale you'd probably feel taken if you didn't barter the price down to less than a couple bucks. After my grandma quit cooking, I received the pot. I've now had it for well over a decade and — like my grandma — I've used it almost once a week to create meals for my family. And while I certainly don't get all mushy every time I pull it out (unlike my pasta sometimes when I get distracted), I love that banged up pot and the memories that it holds.
My grandma filled that pot and my uncle washed and my mom dried that pot — it was pre-dishswasher days — over and over and over. I'm sure they weren't thinking they were holding a family heirloom at the time, they were just scrubbing a dirty pot. Nevertheless, that's what it is today. It is an irreplaceable piece of our family's history that will one day be passed on — and used (because it really works well) — by my daughters. Stories are wonderful and photos are great. But it's also hard to beat holding that one very used pasta pot.

Q: Convert int to Glib::ustring w/o stringstream I need to convert an integer to a Glib::ustring, but I don't want to use stringstream. Not that there's anything inherently WRONG with stringstream, but I don't want yet another library just to accomplish such a simple task.
My first instinct is to write a function with a big 'ol if-statement, or use an array of characters for each digit, but there has to be something cleaner. Is there any alternative?

A: Glib::ustring provides a format static function that simply forwards whatever you throw at it (up to 8 arguments, no variadic template yet it seems) to a stringstream and returns the formatted string:
Glib::ustring text = Glib::ustring::format(123456);

Since c++11 the standard library also has an overloaded to_string method for converting integers and floats
Glib::ustring text(std::to_string(123456));

A: EDIT: This method is intended to avoid STL completely, for cases/libraries where that is necessary. However, Glib::ustring does indeed use STL anyway, just FYI. If you're using some other custom string class, or just feel like a smart aleck with Glib, this might still come in handy.
Yes, it is actually possible, though it does require a custom function. This works quite well thus far, and doesn't require any other libraries, besides the obvious Glib::ustring. You can substitute any other char-supporting string class, and just adjust the Glib::ustring lines accordingly.
Glib::ustring int_to_ustring(int num)
{
    bool neg = false;
    int sub = 0;
    char digit;
    //This is what we'll return.
    Glib::ustring str = "";

    //If number is 0, the math won't work. Just return the string "0".
    if(num == 0)
    {
        str = "0";
        return str;
    }
    //Else, if the number is negative...
    else if(num < 0)
    {
        //Store that information and make the number positive.
        neg = true;
        num = abs(num);
    }

    //Determine place value.
    int pv = 0;
    do
    {
        //Divide by a power of ten and trunicate decimal.
        sub = num / pow(10, pv);
        //Increase pv.
        pv++;
    }
    //If we got zero, then we're too large.
    while(sub != 0);

    //NOTE: The above seems to make the place value two-too-large?

    //Loop backwards through the place values.
    for(pv; pv >= 0; pv--)
    {
        sub = num / pow(10, pv);
        num -= sub*(pow(10, pv));

        if(sub < 0 || sub > 10)
        {
            //Throw an error. I'm just using this as a placeholder.
            std::cout << "Something went really weird." << std::endl;
        }

        //The char code for the digit is always 48 more than the digit.
        digit = sub + 48;
        //If this isn't a leading zero...
        if(!(str == "" && digit == '0'))
        {
            //This is the best way to push a char to a ustring.
            str.insert(str.end(), digit);
        }
    }

    //If that number was negative, insert the negative sign.
    if(neg)
        str.insert(str.begin(), '-');

    return str;
}

(By the by, suggested improvements are welcomed! I'm hoping to make this more efficient yet.)

Sunlight is the first of four EPs to be released under Jon Foreman's second solo-project, The Wonderlands. Foreman describes the project as, "trying to explore the physical space of music. I wanted to create a place that would exist only when you press play; a place of light and shadows, tension and release, things that you know and things that you don't know. It's incredible that you can create a mood, almost a structure of feeling. All 24 songs will correspond with different moods of the day. At the end I'm going to do 25 concerts in 24 hours."

The series is a collaborative effort, with a different producer for each song, and Foreman sending in tracks recorded backstage while on tour.

Critical reception

Matt Conner, giving the EP four stars from CCM Magazine, describes, "Foreman's new solo sets show a deep consideration of a life lived in both darkness and light." Awarding the EP four and a half stars for New Release Tuesday, Mary Nikkel states, "The first installment of The Wonderlands is a strong start for a promising EP arc." Jessica Morris, giving the EP a 4.8 star review at FDRMX, writes, "A delight to the ears, heart and the imagination, Sunlight tackles some of the most debilitating and important topics of life with a lightness and hope that will strengthen you." Awarding the EP a nine out of ten from Cross Rhythms, Helen Whitall says, "there are some excellent songs here and lyrically Foreman is going from strength to strength." Joshua Andre, indicating in four and a half star review at 365 Days of Inspiring Media, recognizes, "As for the rest of The Wonderlands releasing in a few months; if they're as half as good as Sunlight, then Jon Foreman is sure to have a brighter and longer career ahead of him!" Signaling in a four star review by Jesus Freak Hideout, Roger Gelwicks responds, "Sunlight is a refreshing piece of artistry".

First look at Disney's Holiday Magic Quest special filmed in Disney's Hollywood Studios
December 1, 2021 December 1, 2021 Chip
We have an exclusive first look at photos from the upcoming Disney Channel special Disney Holiday Magic Quest! In this all-night adventure, Disney ZOMBIES stars compete in a high-stakes quest inside Disney's Hollywood Studios.
"Disney's Holiday Magic Quest" is returning for a second year with "ZOMBIES" stars Milo Manheim, Kylee Russell, Meg Donnelly and Trevor Tordjman competing in a high-stakes holiday adventure featuring new epic challenges.
The quest will take place inside Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort after dark, as part of The World's Most Magical Celebration that honors the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World.
Popular actress and comedian Yvette Nicole Brown will host as the stars navigate a series of new challenges and obstacles through a variety of iconic and immersive Walt Disney World attractions.
In this year's "Disney's Holiday Magic Quest," Disney villain Maleficent has stolen the holiday star from atop the Holiday Tree, and its pieces have been hidden throughout Disney's Hollywood Studios. The ZOMBIES stars are tasked to find the missing pieces and reassemble the star to restore the magic to the theme park. With the help of their magic maps and the heroes they'll meet along the way, the competitors will step into the stories inspired by each land, including navigating larger-than-life obstacles inside Andy's Backyard at Toy Story Land; escaping Kylo Ren and the Stormtroopers at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, with help from Chewbacca; and surviving bellhop training inside The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
There are many additional surprise moments featured throughout "Disney's Holiday Magic Quest," from iconic park attractions coming to life in a whole new way, to special appearances from beloved Disney, Pixar and Star Wars characters. The two teams will be racing against the countdown clock to complete their quest before sunrise, and in honor of the winning team a donation will be made to Toys For Tots as part of the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive.
"Disney's Holiday Magic Quest" will premiere THIS FRIDAY, DEC. 3, at 7:00 p.m. EST/PST on Disney Channel and will be available to stream on Disney+. Check out the promo here:

Wagner was an extremely prolific writer, authoring numerous books, poems, and articles, as well as voluminous correspondence.
His writings covered a wide range of topics, including autobiography, politics, philosophy, and detailed analyses of his own operas.
Wagner planned for a collected edition of his publications as early as ; [] he believed that such an edition would help the world understand his intellectual development and artistic aims.
The first public edition with many passages suppressed by Cosima appeared in ; the first attempt at a full edition in German appeared in There have been modern complete or partial editions of Wagner's writings, [] including a centennial edition in German edited by Dieter Borchmeyer which, however, omitted the essay "Das Judenthum in der Musik" and Mein Leben.
Ashton Ellis —99 are still in print and commonly used, despite their deficiencies. It is anticipated that the project will be completed by A complete edition of Wagner's correspondence, estimated to amount to between 10, and 12, items, is under way under the supervision of the University of Würzburg.
As of October , 23 volumes have appeared, covering the period to Wagner's later musical style introduced new ideas in harmony, melodic process leitmotif and operatic structure.
Notably from Tristan und Isolde onwards, he explored the limits of the traditional tonal system, which gave keys and chords their identity, pointing the way to atonality in the 20th century.
Some music historians date the beginning of modern classical music to the first notes of Tristan , which include the so-called Tristan chord.
Wagner inspired great devotion. For a long period, many composers were inclined to align themselves with or against Wagner's music.
Wagner made a major contribution to the principles and practice of conducting. His essay "About Conducting" [] advanced Hector Berlioz 's technique of conducting and claimed that conducting was a means by which a musical work could be re-interpreted, rather than simply a mechanism for achieving orchestral unison.
He exemplified this approach in his own conducting, which was significantly more flexible than the disciplined approach of Felix Mendelssohn ; in his view this also justified practices that would today be frowned upon, such as the rewriting of scores.
Amongst those claiming inspiration from Wagner's music are the German band Rammstein , [] and the electronic composer Klaus Schulze , whose album Timewind consists of two minute tracks, Bayreuth Return and Wahnfried Friedrich Nietzsche was a member of Wagner's inner circle during the early s, and his first published work, The Birth of Tragedy , proposed Wagner's music as the Dionysian "rebirth" of European culture in opposition to Apollonian rationalist "decadence".
Nietzsche broke with Wagner following the first Bayreuth Festival, believing that Wagner's final phase represented a pandering to Christian pieties and a surrender to the new German Reich.
In the 20th century, W. Auden once called Wagner "perhaps the greatest genius that ever lived", [] while Thomas Mann [] and Marcel Proust [] were heavily influenced by him and discussed Wagner in their novels.
He is also discussed in some of the works of James Joyce. Many of Wagner's concepts, including his speculation about dreams, predated their investigation by Sigmund Freud.
Wagner's concept of the use of leitmotifs and the integrated musical expression which they can enable has influenced many 20th and 21st century film scores.
The critic Theodor Adorno has noted that the Wagnerian leitmotif "leads directly to cinema music where the sole function of the leitmotif is to announce heroes or situations so as to allow the audience to orient itself more easily".
David Cronenberg and Melancholia dir. Lars von Trier. Not all reaction to Wagner was positive. For a time, German musical life divided into two factions, supporters of Wagner and supporters of Johannes Brahms ; the latter, with the support of the powerful critic Eduard Hanslick of whom Beckmesser in Meistersinger is in part a caricature championed traditional forms and led the conservative front against Wagnerian innovations.
I do not like all the music of Berlioz while appreciating his marvellous understanding of certain instrumental effects Wagner is not a musician, he is a disease.
Even those who, like Debussy, opposed Wagner "this old poisoner" [] could not deny his influence. Indeed, Debussy was one of many composers, including Tchaikovsky, who felt the need to break with Wagner precisely because his influence was so unmistakable and overwhelming.
Wagner's followers known as Wagnerians or Wagnerites [] have formed many societies dedicated to Wagner's life and work.
Wagner has been the subject of many biographical films. The earliest was a silent film made by Carl Froelich in and featured in the title role the composer Giuseppe Becce , who also wrote the score for the film as Wagner's music, still in copyright, was not available.
Jonathan Harvey 's opera Wagner Dream intertwines the events surrounding Wagner's death with the story of Wagner's uncompleted opera outline Die Sieger The Victors.
Since Wagner's death, the Bayreuth Festival, which has become an annual event, has been successively directed by his widow, his son Siegfried, the latter's widow Winifred Wagner , their two sons Wieland and Wolfgang Wagner , and, presently, two of the composer's great-granddaughters, Eva Wagner-Pasquier and Katharina Wagner.
Wagner's operas, writings, politics, beliefs and unorthodox lifestyle made him a controversial figure during his lifetime.
Wagner's hostile writings on Jews, including Jewishness in Music , corresponded to some existing trends of thought in Germany during the 19th century; [] however, despite his very public views on these themes, throughout his life Wagner had Jewish friends, colleagues and supporters.
The characters of Alberich and Mime in the Ring , Sixtus Beckmesser in Die Meistersinger, and Klingsor in Parsifal are sometimes claimed as Jewish representations, though they are not identified as such in the librettos of these operas.
Some biographers have noted that Wagner in his final years developed interest in the racialist philosophy of Arthur de Gobineau , notably Gobineau's belief that Western society was doomed because of miscegenation between "superior" and "inferior" races.
Wagner's ideas are amenable to socialist interpretations; many of his ideas on art were being formulated at the time of his revolutionary inclinations in the s.
Left-wing interpretations of Wagner also inform the writings of Theodor Adorno among other Wagner critics. The writer Robert Donington has produced a detailed, if controversial, Jungian interpretation of the Ring cycle, described as "an approach to Wagner by way of his symbols", which, for example, sees the character of the goddess Fricka as part of her husband Wotan's "inner femininity".
Adolf Hitler was an admirer of Wagner's music and saw in his operas an embodiment of his own vision of the German nation; in a speech he claimed that Wagner's works glorified "the heroic Teutonic nature Greatness lies in the heroic.
While Bayreuth presented a useful front for Nazi culture, and Wagner's music was used at many Nazi events, [] the Nazi hierarchy as a whole did not share Hitler's enthusiasm for Wagner's operas and resented attending these lengthy epics at Hitler's insistence.
Guido Fackler has researched evidence that indicates that it is possible that Wagner's music was used at the Dachau concentration camp in —34 to "reeducate" political prisoners by exposure to "national music".
Because of the associations of Wagner with antisemitism and Nazism, the performance of his music in the State of Israel has been a source of controversy.

SEBI Relaxes Norms For Angel Investors, Aims To Boost Investments In Startups
Ambika Chopra
23 Nov'16 2 min read
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which regulates market capital in India, has relaxed norms for angel funding in the country. As per an official statement, the move is aimed towards boosting investments in startups.
The SEBI has reportedly raised the total number of angel investors allowed to invest in a venture to 200 from 49 and reduced the minimum investment amount to $36K from the previous limit of $76K.
In addition to this, angel investors will be now permitted to invest 25% of their funds in overseas startups, as per a statement issued by SEBI. Investors will now be allowed to invest in startups that were incorporated five years prior to the date of the investment, via their angel funds.
This is an extension from the previous limit of three years. The regulatory authority has also reduced the lock-in period to one from three years.
Commenting on the development, Sandeep Aggarwal, angel investor told Inc42, "This is an excellent move and will make capital easier accessible and will increase liquidity in the market. Besides, the upper limit going to 200 means startups have long way to go before they run out on the number of angels. And angels investing in overseas venture funds means, more global exposure to Indian investors. This could not have come at a better time and is wholeheartedly welcomed."
Under the revised norms, companies owned by private equity (PE) firms will now have to seek shareholder's approval before entering into performance-based compensation agreements with executives.
In 2014, the SEBI released a consultation paper that proposed legal, structural and regulatory framework around crowdfunding in India. In January 2015, the SEBI held talks with the government to evolve guidelines on crowdfunding in a move to help startups raise funds.
Following that, in June 2016, it reworked its plans for capital-raising platforms targeted exclusively at startups. The regulatory body has considered changes to the listing framework for tech-based startups allowed them to trade publicly on regular stock exchanges.
In September 2016, it issued an investor warning notice to equity crowdfunding platforms that aid startups. The notice questioned the legality of these platforms.
The development was reported by Reuters India.

Q: Difference between geodesics on surfaces and paths under gravitiational fields Sorry for the maybe silly question, but I'm a math student and I'm not able to find the answer to this question from the physics point of view.
Let us suppose that a ball is set in a non equilibrium state in a mountain, with $0$ initial velocity. Let us treat the ball as a point and let $M=\{(x,y,z)|f(x,y)=z\} \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be the profile of the mountain.
Physically I think that the trajectory followed by the ball will be as follows: let $\gamma(t)=(x(t),y(t),f(x(t),y(t))$ be the trajectory curve such that at $t=0$ the point $\gamma(0)$ is where we set the ball. Since the gravity is pointing down in the $z$ direction we have that $\gamma(t)$ satisfies the following differential equation $$\gamma^{"}(t)=\Pi_{\large{T_{\gamma(t)}M}}(-g(0,0,1))$$ where $\Pi:\mathbb{R}^3 \rightarrow T_{\gamma(t)}M$ is the linear projection and $g$ is the classical gravitational constant.
But clearly there is another "canonical" trajectory attached to $M$ and to the point $\gamma(0)$, i.e. the unique geodesic $\Gamma \subset M$ starting at $\gamma(0)$.
Clearly by definition the geodesic $\Gamma$ is parametrized by arclength, while the physical trajectory $\gamma(t)$ certainly not.
However is it true that in general $\gamma(t)$ and $\Gamma$ have the same support as subsets of $M$? In the negative case is possible to find a surface $S$ embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that that geodesics of $S$ are physical trajectory of non equilibrium points of $M$?

State Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Parity
Traditionally, health insurance has been more restrictive for behavioral health care—that is, treatment for conditions like depression and anxiety as well as addiction— than for all other forms of health care. When you break your leg, or are diagnosed with diabetes, accessing treatment is straightforward. It is fairly easy to locate a provider, and treatment is often covered by your insurance plan.
But when it comes to accessing behavioral health care the process is more challenging. It's not uncommon to work with a doctor on a treatment plan, only to find out that that recommended treatment is not covered by insurance. Or sometimes prior authorization requirements put hurdles in the way of getting treatment covered by insurance.
Landmark federal legislation was passed in both 2008 and 2010 to remove these barriers to care and provide parity in health insurance coverage for both mental health and substance use disorder. Yet many of the protections within these laws remain unrealized.
Parity is about fairness
It provides the basic framework for ensuring comparability in coverage of mental health and substance use disorder services.
The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (the Parity Act) generally prohibits employment-based group health plans and health insurance issuers that provide group health coverage for mental health and substance use disorders from imposing less favorable benefit limitations on those benefits than they impose on other medical or surgical benefits.
The Parity Act and its implementing regulations generally:
Require that the financial requirements (like copays and deductibles) and quantitative treatment limitations (such as visit limits) applied to mental health and substance use disorder benefits can generally be no more restrictive than the predominant requirements or limitations applied to medical or surgical benefits within a specific classification (i.e., in-network outpatient, out-of-network outpatient, in-network inpatient, out-of-network inpatient, emergency care, and prescription drugs).
Require parity in the application of non-quantitative treatment limitations (NQTLs), like medical management standards.
Expand to substance use disorder benefits the parity requirements of the Mental Health Parity Act of 1996, which prevent plans and issuers from imposing a lifetime or annual dollar limit on mental health benefits that is lower than the lifetime or annual dollar limit imposed on medical or surgical benefits.
"After my brother relapsed, he went back to a rehab facility. Because heroin was found in his system, the insurance company denied his treatment and my parents were on the hook for the $5,000 that two weeks of treatment cost."
Shatterproof Ambassador
The Parity Act in detail
While the Parity Act does not require a plan to cover mental health or substance use disorder services or all diagnoses, if a plan does cover these services, it must provide coverage for mental health and substance use disorder services for all the classifications in which general medical or surgical services are provided.
Under the Parity Act, mental health and substance use disorder benefits must be covered and managed in a way that is no more restrictive than general medical and surgical services under the plan, even when a separate managed behavioral health organization or carve-out arrangement is used to provide or administer mental health and substance use disorder benefits.
The regulations include mathematical rules for analyzing financial requirements and treatment limitations that are expressed numerically. For NQTLs applied to mental health or substance use disorder benefits (e.g., pre-authorization requirements, concurrent review requirements, provider reimbursement structures), the processes, strategies, evidentiary standards or other factors used to apply the NQTLs must be comparable and cannot be applied more stringently than they are to general medical or surgical benefits.
The Parity Act requires plans and issuers to disclose the criteria for medical necessity determinations and the reason for any denial with respect to mental health and substance use disorder benefits.
The law is administered by the Departments of Labor, HHS, and Treasury, in collaboration with the states.
Final regulations applying the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act to the Medicaid and CHIP programs are administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, in collaboration with state Medicaid and CHIP agencies.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) builds on the Parity Act
The ACA increased access to mental health and substance use disorder coverage and extended the reach of parity in several ways:
Established Health Insurance Marketplaces in each state.
Coverage that is offered through the Marketplace, as well as through all non-grandfathered health plans in the individual and small group markets, must cover Essential Health Benefits (EHBs), which include mental health and substance use disorder benefits.
The regulations implementing the EHB requirements require non-grandfathered individual and small group insurance plans to offer mental health and substance use disorder benefits in accordance with the requirements of the Parity Act.
Extended the Parity Act to apply to the individual health insurance market, as well as to qualified health plans offered through the Health Insurance Marketplaces.
Provided an expansion of Medicaid to cover low-income Americans ages 19-64.
Required those newly eligible for Medicaid receive a benchmark benefit or benchmark-equivalent package that includes EHBs that are provided in compliance with parity.
Parity is improving, but violations are common
The landscape for access to mental health and substance use services has improved a lot in recent years. Although other factors may have also influenced these changes, health care consumers have benefited from parity changes in tangible ways. And, while there is more work to do, employers and health plans have made progress in complying with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, particularly in identifying and eliminating inequities in financial and quantitative treatment limitations (like different copays or visit limits).
Specifically, in 2012, an HHS Parity Act compliance study found that most group health plans had eliminated most financial requirements that did not comport with the law.1 The study also found a substantial decrease in the number of plans and issuers imposing disparate quantitative limitations (such as inpatient day limits or outpatient visit limits) between behavioral health and medical or surgical benefits.
Overall, state-level substance use disorder parity laws have helped to increase the treatment rate by approximately 9% across substance use disorder specialty facilities and by about 15% in facilities that accept private insurance. This effect was found to be more pronounced in states with more comprehensive parity laws.2
The percentage of adults using mental health services had been flat at 13.8% in the United States since 2002. Parity Act protections took effect for large group health plans in late 2009; by 2014, the percentage of adults using any mental health service climbed to nearly 15%.

Some of the most common violations of the Parity Laws made by insurance plans
A higher copay or out-of-pocket cost for mental health and substance use disorder services than for other medical care.
Limits on how many days a patient can stay in a treatment center, or how many times a patient can see a provider—when the plan doesn't have such limits on treatments for other medical issues.
Denials claiming the treatment is not "medically necessary."
A requirement to try another form of treatment before the insurance plan will cover the treatment recommended by a doctor.
The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) issued a report3 evaluating the coverage offered by insurance plans. The report found that:
More than two-thirds of the plans do not comply with the ACA's requirements for coverage of substance use disorder benefits.
Almost half of the plans violate the ACA's requirement for coverage of prescription drugs to treat addiction.
18% of the plans definitely violate parity requirements, and 31% of the plans contain possible parity violations.
None of the plans provide comprehensive substance use disorder coverage. Most plans don't cover the full array of critical benefits without harmful treatment limitations. The most frequently excluded or not explicitly covered benefits are residential treatment and methadone maintenance therapy.
88% of plan documents lack sufficient detail to fully evaluate compliance with the ACA and/or the adequacy of substance use disorder benefits.
We need State Parity Laws to provide details and clarifications
While the Affordable Care Act made important progress for parity in health insurance, a lot of much-needed clarification surrounding parity was left up to the states.
The ACA did not define which substance use disorder benefits must be covered. Instead, each state selects an EHB-benchmark insurance plan to serve as a template. Then, the benefits offered in that plan become the minimum level of substance use disorder coverage that ACA plans sold in that state must offer.
Predictably and regrettably, these decisions about what coverage to offer are often not informed by evidence, or the body of research that shows the amount and duration of treatment needed to help people with substance use disorders get on a path of recovery. A "minimum level of coverage" almost never translates into an effective level of service for what are often very complex and chronic disorders.
Shatterproof, working with ParityTrack, developed the following set of specific recommendations to enforce the federal parity law and reduce violations.
Critical elements of state legislation
Applies relevant parity sections of state law to all types of plans: large, small, individual, state employee, county and municipal employee, and Medicaid plans.
Ensures that different levels of coverage are not required for different plans.
Officially defines mental health conditions and substance use disorders as they are defined in the International Classification of Disease or the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Includes language stating that coverage provided for substance use and mental health disorders must be on the same terms and conditions as it is for other medical coverage.
Specifies that residential treatment is included with in-patient benefits.
Requires plans to cover life-saving opioid antagonists, and requires plans that cover prescriptions to cover FDA-approved medications for the treatment of substance use disorders, if such medications are medically necessary.
Prohibits plans from imposing non-quantitative treatment limitations on mental health or substance use disorder benefits that are designed or applied more stringently than those in place for other medical benefits.
Requires relevant state regulatory agencies to enforce PARITY ACT and any similar sections of state law, with specifics on how the agencies may do this.
Requires plans to submit information that is needed to check for compliance with Parity Act and relevant sections of state law.
Requires regulatory agencies to submit annual reports that describe how they are implementing the Parity Act and similar sections of state law in addition to educating the public about mental health/substance use disorder coverage laws.
Shatterproof is partnering with several organizations to advocate for these critical elements in states.
1. Consistency of Large Employer and Group Health Plan Benefits with Requirements of the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008.
2. State parity laws and access to treatment for substance use disorder in the United States: implications for federal parity legislation.

'Training Day' at 20: Ethan Hawke thought Nick Nolte was going to play dirty cop, knew Denzel was winning Oscar on 'Day 3'
Nick Nolte
Kevin Polowy
·Senior Correspondent, Yahoo Entertainment
5 October 2021, 11:00 am ·3-min read
Ethan Hawke says he received some faulty intelligence about whom he'd be costarring with when he was first sent the script for Training Day, Antoine Fuqua's gritty cop drama released 20 years, on Oct. 5, 2001.
"I remember somebody had, in error, told me that Nick Nolte was playing the part," Hawke told us during a 2014 Role Recall interview before offering his best impression of the grizzled 48 Hrs. star (watch above, with Training Day starting at 2:52). "And it seemed like kind of an obvious Nick Nolte part. You know, the dirty cop and drinking beer cans. … You can imagine Nick doing the whole thing."
The part in question was Det. Alonzo Harris (as the character would ultimately be called), a corrupt if decorated LAPD narcotics officer who puts his fresh-faced new partner Jake Hoyt through the wringer as they police the streets of Los Angeles's dirty underbelly. According to IMDb, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Gary Sinise and Tom Sizemore were all offered the role at points, but not Nolte.
Of course, the role went to Denzel Washington, whose fire-breathing performance as Harris earned him what many believed was an overdue first Academy Award for Best Actor. (Washington had previously won Best Supporting Actor for Glory in 1990.)
"When I heard it was going to be Denzel, I was like, 'Oh, this is going to a whole 'nother level,'" says Hawke, who netted a Best Supporting Actor nom for his role. "Not that Nick Nolte isn't one of my favorite actors, because he is. But I'd seen Nick play that part.
"It was a very dangerous thing at that moment in his career for Denzel to play a bad guy. Here he was poised to be the Sidney Poitier of his generation. You know, he was being harassed by the NAACP that he shouldn't play a bad guy and stuff like that. And he's a guy that, not only did he do it, he went all the way with it."
In a 2015 Q&A with students at Loyola Marymount University's School of Film & TV, Hawke elaborated on the blowback his co-star received from the NAACP.
"The NAACP came to the set and said, 'What are you doing?,'" Hawke said. "And you know I never had a political organization talk to me about what roles I pick. And Denzel, I remember him saying, 'What, Al Pacino can play a bad guy. Gene Hackman can play a bad guy. I can't play a bad guy? I'm an artist. That's how I lead, not by being some dubious role model by only playing squeaky clean people. I'll be a role model by being great at my job.' You know now that is impressive to me obviously."
In an ironic twist, Washington eventually won Best Actor from the NAACP Image Awards for Training Day. As for the big Oscar win, Hawke says he saw it coming from their earliest ride alongs.
"I knew he was going to win the Oscar," Hawke told us. "I knew it on about Day 3. I remember thinking that if I don't f*** up the movie, he'll win the Oscar.
"It was one of the great pleasures of my life to kind of sit shotgun on that movie. I felt like my job was to literally lob baseballs across home plate so he could just knock them out of the park every day. It was one of the best times I ever had making a movie."

OPINION - Martin Bentham: Making misogyny a hate crime would be a counterproductive distraction
The vote by peers this week in favour of making misogyny a hate crime has thrust the issue back into the political spotlight as the debate that began in the aftermath of Sarah Everard's murder over how to better tackle violence against women continues. In support of a change in the law, which would lead to perpetrators of misogynistic offences receiving extra time on their sentences, Baroness Newlove, the former Victims' Commissioner for England and Wales, said it would send a "powerful message" that the "law is on the side of women" and recognise the reality that "deep-rooted hostility towards women that motivates many" crimes committed against them. All that is, of course, true, but Justice Secretary Dominic Raab responded the following day by reiterating the government's view that the reform would be a mistake that could even prove "counter-productive", adding that ministers would seek to overturn the Lords vote when the relevant legislation returns to the Commons.

O'Connor joins Gillingham on loan
By SFC Media time Thu 29 Aug	Transfer News
Photo by James Bridle | Tom O'Connor
Young defender Tom O'Connor has today joined League One side Gillingham on loan until January.
The 19-year-old, who represents Republic of Ireland at youth level, signed a two-year contract extension in January after enjoying a superb 2018/19 season, where he captained the Under-23s to promotion Premier League 2 Division One.
O'Connor helped the Under-23s to a sensational comeback success against Manchester City, scoring a looping header in a 4-3 away victory to start the new season in style.
The Kilkenny native will link up with teammate Alfie Jones at Priestfield, with the Gills currently 17th in League One after two games.
The club will be closely monitoring O'Connor's progress during his loan spell, and would like to wish him well for the coming months.

Zach Collins broke his nose at the end of Tuesday's practice when he bumped heads with Caleb Swanigan.
Collins is expected to play in Vegas Summer League and that seems a bit fast but regardless this doesn't appear to be serious. The second year player showed he could hang late last year and should be in the mix for a bigger role this season.

Q: Is it possible to edit a partition function on MSSQL 2016? I've inherited a partitioned database with millions of rows and I've noticed there is a typo in the partition function:
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [Partition_by_customer](varchar(10)) AS RANGE RIGHT FOR VALUES (N'DMA', N'DMB', N'DMC', N'DMD', N'DME')

Is there an easy way to remove those unicode converters (as they are causing implicit conversions), everything should be a varchar(10)
Thanks
Roger

A: The implicit conversion of the Unicode literal to varchar is a one-time operation done when the DDL is executed. The "typo" ('N' national character prefix) is not part of the partition function definition nor used by SQL Server after creation. The Unicode literal is generated by SMO when the function definition scripted.
The actual boundary values are a SQL_VARIANT type and match the partition function data type definition regardless of the specified literal. The catalog view query below shows this:
SELECT
      prv.value AS BoundaryValue
    , SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(value, 'BaseType') AS DataType
    , SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(value, 'MaxLength') AS Length
FROM sys.partition_functions AS pf
JOIN sys.partition_range_values AS prv ON prv.function_id = pf.function_id
WHERE pf.name = N'Partition_by_customer';

Results:
+---------------+----------+--------+
| BoundaryValue | DataType | Length |
+---------------+----------+--------+
| DMA           | varchar  |     10 |
| DMB           | varchar  |     10 |
| DMC           | varchar  |     10 |
| DMD           | varchar  |     10 |
| DME           | varchar  |     10 |
+---------------+----------+--------+

A: I don't believe it's possible to do that. The Microsoft documentation on ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION specifically states to only alter one as a means of combining or splitting the partitions, but anything such as changing the function logic they recommend creating a new partitioned table with the new function and loading it with the data from the old table.
Specifically this part of the documentation under Limitations and Restrictions I believe is relevant to your question:

Only use ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION for splitting one partition into
two, or merging two partitions into one. To change the way a table is
otherwise partitioned (for example, from 10 partitions to five
partitions), exercise any of the following options. Depending on the
configuration of your system, these options may vary in resource
consumption:
Create a new partitioned table with the necessary partition function.
Then, insert the data from the old table into the new table by using
an INSERT INTO...SELECT FROM statement.

Nice service, professional and responsible, deserve recommendation!!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff and AMS has managed both my 485 and 187 visa professionally. Joseph, Emma and Viola are definitely the people to speak to.
I started a process for a partner visa in August 2015. Initially I was going to go through a regional sponsorship visa after I finished my studies. The migration agents at AMS were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They managed to find me an interview at regional Victoria which was likely going to become a regional sponsorship visa. This was perfect since it was going to help me settle in Australia. At the last minute before proceeding with the interview at regional Victoria, I decided to do partner visa with my wife who was my girlfriend then. Again AMS agents where very helpful and assisted me for the application and through the whole process. I strongly recommend anyone trying to organize themselves in Australia to visit AMS office since the might be very helpful to help you settle.
Thank you Joseph and Lynn- very helpful and professional. Highly recommended.
Ams migration helped me a lot during the whole process of 187 finding job and visa lodging.
I have been dealing with AMS on two occasions, regarding student visa and visa extension. I am satisfied with their services as they were prompt in replying my emails and even calling me up to explain my enquiries. I would definitely recommend AMS to anyone who needs visa regarding matters.Thanks AMS!
Staff is really very help full and supportive.

Losing Military Supremacy: The Myopia of American Strategic Planning
By Andrei Martyanov
Directed by Claire Bloom
Read by Stefan Rudnicki
Andrei Martyanov Skyboat Media 9780998694757
Runtime: 8.48 Hours
Category: Nonfiction/Political Science
Publisher: Skyboat Media Publisher: Skyboat Media Publisher: Skyboat Media
Time after time the American military has failed to match lofty declarations about its superiority, producing instead a mediocre record of military accomplishments. Starting from the Korean War the United States hasn't won a single war against a technologically inferior, but mentally tough enemy. The technological dimension of American "strategy" has completely overshadowed any concern with the social, cultural, operational, and even tactical requirements of military (and political) conflict. With a new cold war with Russia emerging, the United States enters a new period of geopolitical turbulence completely unprepared in any meaningful way—intellectually, economically, militarily, or culturally—to face a reality which was hidden for the last seventy-plus years behind the curtain of never-ending Chalabi moments and a strategic delusion concerning Russia, whose history the US viewed through a Solzhenitsified caricature kept alive by a powerful neocon lobby, which even today dominates US policy makers' minds.
explores the dramatic difference between the Russian and US approach to warfare, which manifests itself across the whole spectrum of activities from art and the economy, to the respective national cultures;
illustrates the fact that Russian economic, military, and cultural realities and power are no longer what American "elites" think they are by addressing Russia's new and elevated capacities in the areas of traditional warfare as well as cyberwarfare and space; and
studies in depth several ways in which the US can simply stumble into conflict with Russia and what must be done to avoid it.
Martyanov's former Soviet military background enables deep insight into the fundamental issues of warfare and military power as a function of national power—assessed correctly, not through the lens of Wall Street "economic" indices and a FIRE economy, but through the numbers of enclosed technological cycles and culture, much of which has been shaped in Russia by continental warfare and which is practically absent in the US.

A great song for a great cause, with special guest, 50 Cent!
Here's a chance to hear some great music and support an incredible cause at the same time. The band Men in My Head, for whom Gig Gear LLC founder, Danny Shatzkes, plays keyboards, just released a new single, Century Love. The song was recorded in collaboration with world renowned hip-hop artist, 50 Cent. Bandleader, Eddie Gindi, spearheaded the collaboration and also arranged for the release of the single to be sold in partnership with Century 21 Department Stores.
All proceeds of the sale of the song, either via CD or download, will be donated to Tuesday's Children, an organization founded to promote long-term healing for all of those directly impacted by the events of September 11, 2001.
Men In My Head with 50 Cent at the release of their single, Century Love, at the Century 21 flagship store in lower Manhattan.
In 2013, Men in My Head partnered with Tuesday's Children for the first time with the release of their #1 hit single, Survivor Tree. That song spent 21 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart, and 23 weeks overall. The song also was the #1 best-selling CD single of 2013 in the US. In total, the sales of Survivor Tree raised $275,000 for Tuesday's Children.
The band, Century 21 and Tuesday's Children are all very excited to be working alongside 50 Cent this time around and everyone involved is anticipating that this collaboration will help to make Century Love be just as successful, and hopefully even more so, than Survivor Tree.
Go ahead and purchase the song right now at the Century 21 website by clicking here.

Sterling Heights man sentenced to prison in carjacking of elderly Livonia Walmart shopper
Jason Malinas, 38 of Sterling Heights, will serve 9-25 years in prison after taking a plea deal in a carjacking of an elderly woman at Walmart.
Sterling Heights man sentenced to prison in carjacking of elderly Livonia Walmart shopper Jason Malinas, 38 of Sterling Heights, will serve 9-25 years in prison after taking a plea deal in a carjacking of an elderly woman at Walmart.

One of the people who carjacked a senior citizen in Livonia last fall will spend several years in prison after being sentenced Jan. 4 in a Wayne County courtroom.
Jason Malinas, 38, of Sterling Heights was sentenced to 9-25 years in prison on a carjacking charge and 5-15 years on an unarmed robbery charge by Circuit Judge Lawrence Talon, according to online circuit court records. The sentence comes after Malinas took a plea deal and pleaded guilty last month to carjacking and unarmed robbery stemming from the incident that took place back in September at the Walmart on Plymouth Road in Livonia.
That incident left then-88-year-old Livonia resident Gloria Kevelighan, a self-described "tough broad," injured when two suspects shoved her to the ground and stole her vehicle outside the store. Kevelighan spoke to the media after the incident and described the crime, complete with her bruises and other injuries visible.

More: Mini bike ride ends with man being pursued by Milford Police, arrest on warrants
Her vehicle was followed by a witness until it got to the Beech Daly-Joy intersection area. Police later spotted the vehicle near Joy and Telegraph, located the two suspects and arrested them.
As a result of Malinas pleading guilty, several counts were dropped, including five counts of stealing/retaining a financial transaction device without consent. He will begin his prison sentence with 107 days of time-served credit. He is also required to pay $726 in fees, according to online records.
His sentences will run concurrently, meaning they will run at the same time.
The second suspect in the case, Jessica St. Clair, is scheduled to be sentenced later this month after also taking a plea deal.
