NEWCASTLE MAGIC CIRCLE
2018Programme
Tuesday 27th February, 2018: Joe Barry, UK
Joe Barry is a young magician from Stoke‐on-Trent in England. He loves all types of magic but chose card magic to study in depth. He has a love of gambling moves and effects as well as subtle and baffling card magic. Joe Barry has produced 2 DVDs called Inscrutable and Inscrutable 2, which received great reviews. He also wrote 4 limited edition booklets "Some Notes on Cards", "Rollout", "Fifty", and "Reverie".
Since publishing some of his effects, Joe has lectured and performed at The Session, The International Magic Festival and The International Convention. He finished a lecture tour of Japan in May and is appearing at Magic Live in Vegas.
What other have said about Joe Barry:
"Joe fooled me – many times. Joe favors impromptu material, so you're ready as long as there's a deck handy. There are valuable lessons here, in everything from subtleties to attitude." - Simon Aronson
"Some of the best card work I've ever seen; absolutely mesmerising, bewildering and above all inspiring." - Daniel Madison
"I met Joseph Barry at The Session convention. He blew me away with his card magic. All his effects are direct, simple and clear. It was a wicked pleasure for me to introduce him to different magicians over the weekend and stand back and watch their faces as Joe went to work, fooling them badly, again and again with simple and direct effects. Erdnase himself would be proud as there is simply nothing to suspect, let alone detect during his performance." - Quentin Reynolds
"Some of the best sleight-of-hand I have NEVER seen. Elegant, sophisticated, powerful magic! Every Trick is a closer!" - Wayne Dobson
"A youth is to be regarded with respect," said Confucius. "How do we know that his future will not be equal to our present?" Joseph Barry, who is bound to become recognized as a master entertainer with a deck of cards, deserves acknowledgment right now. He has come up with a large array of material, most of which is good, and some of which is excellent. More importantly, he has adopted a casual rapport with his audience and a charm that takes many performers decades to refine." - Jared Kopf in Magic magazine
"I wrote a year ago that Barry "is bound to become recognized as a master entertainer with a deck of cards." Inscrutable II is further proof that what I have predicted may very well come to pass."- Jared Kopf in Magic magazine
"Joseph Barry's lectures always exceed my expectations - an excellent magician." - Will Houston

MTV blasted onto cable television 10 years ago -- Aug. 1, 1981, to be exact. About 12 seconds later, the complaints began, and they have grown more extensive and sophisticated as the music-video channel has shown its power to shape the commercial fortunes and, inevitably, the content of popular music around the world.
By hitching would-be hits to the pervasiveness of television, the recording business found a marketing tool that brought it unprecedented profits. At the same time, pop music -- which had usually been too scruffy for television -- became one more kind of programming, transformed by the needs and esthetics of television. As sports, movies and politics had capitulated to television, so did nearly every kind of pop music that harbors ambitions toward mass popularity.
Ten years later, the dire predictions have turned out to be true. Because the channel is the equivalent of a national radio network, with the added allure of pictures, MTV's choice of hits has taken on enormous power. With rare exceptions, the price of video production has raised the ante on promoting a pop hit; a video for one song can cost more to make than an entire album. After the album-rock era of the 1970's, MTV helped return the hit single to prominence as a pop marketing tool.
And in a visual culture like ours, MTV has amplified the importance of image over sound, which has repercussions in everything from stage shows to who gets a chance to record. Television has always sold pretty pop faces like Fabian, Donny Osmond and Vanilla Ice, but music video has created a new kind of star, exemplified by Madonna, whose meticulously crafted four-minute fantasies shake the electronic media as easily as she shimmies her hips.
Simultaneously, the MTV era has brought unexpected side effects. It has, in a way, re-embodied pop music, reconnecting an audio product to a visual presentation. Because dancing is such a popular video gambit, music video has sparked a resurgence of dance music -- body music -- and made a generation comfortable moving to the beat. Music video has also accelerated pop's long-term shift away from extended melody toward riffs, rhythm and texture. Instead of reinforcing the mainstream of pop as it existed a decade ago, which might have been expected from an outlet that favors established big spenders, MTV has overseen 10 years of stylistic splintering and recombinations, united only by wild haircuts and a good beat.
MTV shook up radio stations, fitfully exposing new music and providing an alternative to radio stations stuck in impossibly narrow marketing niches. By furnishing footage, music video also made rock visible to mainstream America; rock's higher profile brought leather and studs to every mall, while making the music a renewed target for bluenoses. (Last week, a Texas cable operator dropped MTV from basic service, calling it pornographic.)
From the beginning of MTV, there have been two kinds of complaints -- about music video and about MTV itself. They're not synonymous. MTV has often compared itself to an art gallery, exhibiting music videos it doesn't make, but MTV is no neutral environment. It's an amalgam of videos, commercials, ironic self-promotions, video jockeys (sometimes savvy, sometimes inane, often sexist), news (usually informative, sometimes promotional) and non-music programs, including a comedy show.
It's a circumscribed sphere where youth, pleasure, noise, fashion, mild rebelliousness and consumption are all connected -- a concentrated version of commercial television pitched at a young audience that, judging by MTV's advertising, is fueled by sugar, burgers and chips. Anyone who took MTV literally would be nearly as warped as someone who believed soap operas were documentaries.
MTV's choice of clips affects performers, directors and the recording companies that finance videos. In the channel's early years, black musicians were extremely scarce; the programming has since become more integrated, but other strictures are in full force. Performers with any less clout than Madonna are likely to follow the channel's perceived guidelines, which can be amorphous.
One standard is obvious, though it may be enforced as much by prevailing cultural attitudes as by MTV's overseers. Like other programming for younger audiences, MTV favors pretty people; the channel admitted that a video of "Woodgoblins" by Tad, a hulking hard-rock guitarist, was rejected in part because Tad was too ugly. Aging performers, or those whose only talents are musical rather than visual, tend to hide in their own video clips, if they get a chance to make them at all. In recent years, recording companies have seemed to weigh performers' appearance, fashion sense and dance moves more than in pre-MTV days. The music can be patched together in the studio, while looks are harder to fix. Of course, a cute person can always be hired to lip-synch; ask Milli Vanilli.
There were hopes for music video. For eons, music had been connected to live performance, until recording came along and made disembodied music possible. Video offered a new kind of musical theater, with terms dictated by musicians and directors rather than variety-show hosts or Dick Clark. Every so often, a video clip appears that works synergistically with a song. But over the last decade, the vast majority of clips have settled for glamorizing the musicians, often in the tritest ways. As a form, music video is closest to advertising and cartoons; hence the bouncy, brightly garbed, cartoonish images of many hard-rockers, rappers and pop singers.
Before video, performers and fans faced each other primarily in concerts, with the chance of missed notes or mishaps. Now, the image of a performance can be fabricated with studio-perfect sound and every accessory in place. Many musicians have been willing to sacrifice spontaneity for such security, and in the belief that audiences want to confirm what they've seen on MTV, live pop concerts have become visual spectacles, where the music might be canned so that singers can concentrate on dance steps. The hermetic perfectionism of performers from Michael Jackson to Guns 'n' Roses may have been magnified by the sense of control they acquired from video performances.
Music video builds careers so fast that singers like Janet Jackson or Mariah Carey end up facing arena audiences without the experience that would have come from working their way up the circuit. At the same time, video seems to burn out careers faster; when pop performances are available 24 hours a day, they become less prized. Some observers contend that video's concentration on surfaces has spawned music that is nothing more than superficial entertainment, unable to command loyalty.
Another gripe is that music video has accelerated the commercialization of pop. The price of video production skews budgets upwards; money that used to subsidize tours by up-and-coming bands is diverted toward video production. As promotion costs rise, there's more pressure on performers to write hits; the video era, and Michael Jackson, ushered in the blockbuster album that holds as many as four or five hit singles.
The commercialization goes further. A music video already links pop and television, leading marketers to bigger ideas. Why not tie a song in with a movie soundtrack (as in the ever-annoying combination of movie trailer and video clip) or a product? Without MTV, advertisers might never have got the idea that Eric Clapton's music was perfect for beer commercials.
But pop was already commercial before MTV, and good looks have never hurt a performer's career. The music business was already seeking blockbusters and tie-ins; it has never turned down a quick buck. MTV isn't really the villain of 1980's and 1990's pop, although it's tempting to blame the channel for the ascendance of performers like Nelson, Vanilla Ice and Poison. Instead, it has been a catalyst for music that, too often, looks better than it sounds.

Tim Richards
Tim first came to Sequim as a boy. He met his wife, Branette, in eighth grade at the bus stop and knew he was hooked. After High School, Tim & Branette both attended Prairie Bible College, earning Bachelors in Religious Education. They married in 1984. After a brief time back in Sequim, they moved to Southern California where Tim attend Talbot School of Theology at Biola University.

In 1988, having completed his MDiv, he received a call to serve as an Associate Pastor at Sierra Bible Church in Sonora, California. He and Branette served there eight years. During that time Tim also did some free-lance curriculum writing for David C. Cook Publishing.
Read more about Pastor Tim
A significant part of Tim's story involves a crisis of faith. It was that crisis which led him out of pastoring for a time, feeling the need to separate his search from his paycheck. If you'd like to know more about his story go to www.thefaithpuzzle.org.
In 1996 Tim & Branette moved back to Sequim where they became active members of Dungeness Community Church. Tim also pursued some entrepreneurial interests, inventing a small tool (The MixMizer ™) which is sold nationwide and founding NorthWest Supply, Inc., a company specializing in the liquidation of medical & scientific assets.
After 19 years in the business world, Dungeness Community Church asked if Tim would consider assuming the role of Lead Pastor. Sensing God's timing and leading to re-enter full-time ministry, Tim accepted the call and joined the staff on November 1, 2015.
Tim says, "This is an adventure of grace that only God could have orchestrated. We are just excited and grateful that He has invited us along for the ride."
Tim & Branette are proud parents of four grown children and two grandchildren (for now).

He is happily married to Lauren Piper.
Shawn Stanton
Shawn was born and raised here in the Pacific Northwest. He grew up in a family that was, and still is, heavily entrenched in the Jehovah's Witnesses religion. After years of doubt and guilt he left the religion at age 30, leaving behind most of the family and friends he had ever known. For the next 15 years he searched and fell, searched and fell again as he looked for the God he knew existed. In nothing less than a miracle God found him wandering around an old dusty bookstore on the island of Kauai and the miracles haven't stopped since!
In 2007 God introduced him to Becky and two years later they were married. Shawn has two children, Quinn and Sahara and two step-daughters, Taylor and Sydney.

Musically, Shawn has been a percussionist since he was 15. He has been part of the DCC Worship Team since 2008 as well as playing in numerous other bands and venues over the years. As a follower of Christ, Shawn's love for worship has grown deep. As a Worship Director, Shawn has found a way to blend his love of Worship, his musical and arts background and his professional skills in team-building and management. Shawn's construction experience has also come in handy as he has given oversight to various projects for the church.
One of Shawn's great passions and callings is counseling hurting and broken people. He is actively pursuing a degree in Christian counseling through Light University and currently holds three certifications. Through an internship arrangement with Gary & Nancy Stack, Shawn provides counseling services to members of DCC.

She attended high school in eastern Washington and in 1990 earned a BA in Child and Family Studies at Washington State University. Colleen met her husband Phil while working in a fish plant in Valdez Alaska on one of her summer breaks in college. Two weeks after college graduation they were married and made Alaska their home. They have two daughters Anna aged 15 and Devon aged 19.
Read more about Colleen Price
For 30 years Colleen was a member of a Community Church in Valdez Alaska and was involved in Sunday school, AWANA, the Missions Committee and facilitated Bible Studies in the community. In 2011 she was part of a team that took the High School Youth Group to Thailand to serve a tribe of displaced peoples and to visit children at a Compassion International Center.
For the last 8 years she has worked in a hospital in Rural Alaska, first as a Wellness Coordinator and Emergency Manager and more recently as part of a team focusing on the safety and security of the medical campus. Her interests are disaster preparedness planning and emergency management. She loves to help individuals identify their God Given gifts, skills and talents and to find the right fit for service. Her passion is learning how, in this quickly changing world, we can equip each other as Christians to be prepared for Christ's return.
The need for care coordinating became real to her in 2014 when her teenage daughter became ill. After running the gamut of physicians, neurologists, naturopaths, and specialists the family was unable to find a cause for the illness. God answered prayer and provided what was needed for healing and her daughter is now healthy and thriving. That experience taught her that navigating the healthcare system is challenging in the best of health. Having a support system in place to help navigate through the process and a person to come alongside you in prayer can make all the difference.

Why people believe fake news, explained

Why do so many Americans have trouble telling truth from fiction online? As humans, we're wired to believe the worst. DepositPhotos

Flowers and notes from well-wishers outside Comet Ping Pong, the pizza restaurant in northwest Washington, D.C., where a North Carolina man fired an assault rifle multiple times as he attempted to "self-investigate" the conspiracy theory known in "Pizzagate." Jessica Gresko, Associated Press
The controversy around "fake news" took on a new pall this month when a North Carolina man chose to investigate, gun in hand, a false online conspiracy theory that a Washington. D.C.-area pizza parlor was harboring a pedophilia ring with ties to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Known now as "Pizzagate," the incident (in which no one was hurt and the gunman arrested) leads to a bigger question of what Americans perceive as fact and fiction in a media landscape where conspiracy theorists and trolls can have as much voice and public attention (if not more) as traditional news outlets.
While it's easy to condemn the accused — Edgar Maddison Welch — for jumping to an extreme conclusion over claims spread on sites like 4chan and Reddit, it's equally easy to forget that Welch is hardly alone.
It's impossible to know how many Americans read and believed the story, but researchers at Stanford University recently released startling numbers that offer insight into the fake news paradox.
Perhaps the most shocking finding of the report is that a whopping 93 percent of college students couldn't identify lobbyist websites as biased sources of information. The findings were equally dismal for high school students, less than 20 percent of whom knew that looking at one photograph online was not enough to tell if an event actually took place or not. Eighty percent of middle school students were unaware of what "sponsored content" meant or that it differed from other content on a website.
Students also struggled to convey what makes a source credible, as education nonprofit news outlet The Hechinger Report pointed out.
"When presented with a tweet made from a liberal advocacy group, half of the students judged the tweet without bothering to click the link to read the source of information," Nichole Dobo wrote. "Among the students who did click, few were able to articulate why a poll that was cited was credible or not."
Why do so many Americans have trouble telling truth from fiction online?
The answer may come down to human biology, as science writer and Skeptic Magazine publisher Michael Shermer illustrated in a 2010 TED talk. The human tendency to believe something is, in Shermer's view, a byproduct of perfectly honed survival instincts — it's better to err on the side of believing something is true and exercise caution rather than assume something is wrong.
"If you believe the rustle in the grass is just the wind and it turns out to be a dangerous predator, you're lunch," Shermer argued in his talk.
And, as Business Insider reported, humans are much more vulnerable to believing lies or misinformation when they feel somehow threatened. Believing that something is true is the first step to asserting control over that situation — a deeply human, psychological need, Northwestern University professor Adam Galisnky argued.
"The less control people have over their lives, the more likely they are to try and regain control through mental gymnastics," Galinsky told Business Insider.
This phenomenon goes far beyond fake news deceiving readers. Some experts have even tied the human need to assert control over situations to factual distortions surrounding major cataclysmic events, such as the 9/11 "truther" movement, which contends the terrorist attacks were orchestrated by the government, or the popular conspiracy that the Sandy Hook school massacre was staged.
"Their distortions offered a reprieve to people overwhelmed by a perceived loss of control," CNN Gregory Krieg wrote. "In targeting the victims (of Sandy Hook), they have created — at an unfathomable moral price — a place to direct their rage."
If the feeling of a lack of control can make people more susceptible to conspiracy theory and hyperbole, it makes sense why an estimated 70 percent of Americans believe the news media is intentionally biased.
As the election results showed, mainstream news outlets have serious work to do in better understanding the voices of those who are skeptical of — and feel ignored by — traditional news coverage. The fact that many outlets didn't take Trump's candidacy seriously until the election was nearly over helped sow doubt in many people's minds, and both candidates' use of social media raises the question of how much modern politics needs journalism to get messages out.
"This could be the last election where mainstream media play a dominant or leading role," Canadian and American media ethicist Stephen Ward said after the election. "Given what Trump has done on Twitter, I see more and more campaigns running this way in the future, without visiting editorial boards — saying, 'to hell with them, we don't need them.'"

Advanced or recurring periodontal disease may require surgical intervention to reduce the depth of the periodontal pockets and to improve the architecture of the underlying bone. Once the pockets are reduced, the dental hygienist, as well as the patient, will be able to more effectively remove plaque from the now accessible root surfaces. As with any periodontal treatment, it must be followed by regular dental check-ups and cleanings as well as meticulous home care.

INDIANAPOLIS – Felix Rosenqvist was fast enough Friday to qualify ahead of teammate Scott Dixon. The Swedish rookie was even good enough to break up Team Penske's dominance at the IndyCar Grand Prix.
If he does it again Saturday, the 22-year-old Rosenqvist could throw quite a party.
Rosenqvist edged Dixon with a fast lap of 1 minute, 8.2785 seconds to claim his first pole and become the first non-Penske driver since 2014 to earn the No. 1 starting spot. Dixon was second at 1:08.2979 to make it an all-Chip Ganassi Racing front row. Jack Harvey qualified third at 1:08.3238.
"It's a cool feeling that it happened here," Rosenqvist said. "My team is based here, obviously, the track has the history it has. Obviously, it's not the 500 but it's cool and it's always a special feeling when you get your first pole in any series and especially in this series where it's very close."
Rosenqvist isn't the only unfamiliar name at the front of the 24-car starting grid.
Harvey, the English driver who runs a partial schedule for Meyer Shank Racing, made the fast six for the first time. Colton Herta, the American rookie who has one win with Harding Steinbrenner Racing, qualified fourth on Indy's 2.439-mile, 14-turn road course. Ed Jones, the Dubai driver for Ed Carpenter Racing, will start fifth after making his first fast-six.
Meanwhile, defending champion and three-time pole winner Will Power settled for sixth. The Australian is the only Penske driver in the first three rows.
Could it signal a changing of the guard?
"It's great to see the influx, I think we've seen it the last couple of years," Dixon said, referring to the young drivers. "It's definitely what we need and it's definitely keeping the veterans pretty honest."
The biggest challenge Friday was warming up the tires on a chilly, breezy day at the speedway.
But if Rosenqvist can deal with the expected rain Saturday, he could add another line to a resume that already includes three top-10 finishes this season.
"If it's a full green race, he's going to have a great chance to win," Power said. "If you start at the front and it's an all green race, these days you're in a great spot because no one makes mistakes anymore."
After winning at Texas, Herta finished 24th and 23rd in the next two races.
But he rebounded with a near record-breaking performance during the second round of qualifying. While Herta was the only driver in qualifications to go under 1:08, he finished second among the rookies.
"I know there was a battle between me and him as to who was going to be the first rookie to get on the pole (this year)," Hera said. "He got that."
Who's not
Michael Andretti's team has four drivers competing on the road course – and none advanced to the second round of qualifying.
Ryan Hunter-Reay posted the team's fastest lap at 1:08.6235. He will start 16th. Alexander Rossi will start from the No. 17 spot after going 1:08.6994. Zach Veach qualified 20th after going 1:08.8170 and Marco Andretti will start 23rd in the 24-car field with a time of 1:08.8995.
It also was a tough day for Indianapolis 500 winners.
Rossi, the 2016 champion, Hunter-Reay, the 2014 winner and two Brazilian winners – Helio Castroneves and Tony Kanaan – were all eliminated in the first round. Japan's Takuma Sato, winner of the 500 in 2017, was knocked out in the second round and Power, the defending 500 champ, wound up last in the final group.
Team Penske's four-year winning streak is in grave danger with only Power in the first three rows and he had to eliminate teammate Josef Newgarden, the points leader, late in the first round just to reach the second round.
With five different teams represented in the first six starting spots are represented in the top six, a potentially wet track and so many young drivers near the front, it could be a wild and wacky race.

Thus, environment impact of use phase decreased dramatically. Environmentally-friendly Product Development introduces methods to improve the environmental characteristics of products. Physical metrics is recommended to be the best instrument to do the analysis. Development of environmentally friendly products gains an increasing - portance in science and in industry. If designers assume that the functions of a stool are discharge the excrement and protect the bad smell, design matrix will be as follows: To protect bad smell, trap and water should be in existence, and to discharge excrement water is needed.
First, a review is made of advertisements in the wider media. Thus, for sustainable development, people have to be conscious about the environment including product designers. However, this physical contradiction could be separated with time. The paper describes the development of Applied EcoDesign design for environment from its initial stage in the early nineties to its present form and explores further developments in the future. Thus, one should check whether battery was dead or not.
The generation and prioritisation of green improvement options is done by addressing consumer and societal feasibility as well as technical and financial feasibility. If someone invents a new stool which can protect smell without water redesign decoupled design to uncoupled design , it would be more environmental friendly stool. And if physical contradictions are in the system, they can use separation principles. A holistic view of every stage and process of a product's life-cycle is needed in order to find sound solutions to adverse environmental effects and help us develop a new generation of eco-designed products. However, if both dust bag and mesh filter is removed, motor will have some troubles due to dusts. In particular, these standards relate to the avoidance of financial conflicts of interest, the use of sound scientific methods and accepted test procedures, and openness and transparency in the setting of standards. Furthermore a methodology for the development of environm- tally sound products was missing.
Conventional stool consumes 13L of water for one time use; on the other hand, new designed stool consumes only 3L of water. I went to my school kitchen, and I said, 'Give me the scraps that my school friends have turned their noses up at. It is not surprising that in its recently revealed new environmental program, Philips again shows commitment to keeping a focus on applying ecodesign and more environmental product benchmarking. The examples of Ecodesign 4. Therefore, trap should exist and not exist. Researchers from around the globe met and formed a group whose common interest lays in the role of packaging for saving food from being wasted.
Its green image is based on material recycling, both in the production and the end- of-life phase. Several companies within these industries are studied, by reviewing corporate websites, all their national websites as well as their television commercials. Because of the trap, an amount of water is used. As stated above, an adequate tool for settling technical contradiction is 40 Inventive principles. In terms of ecodesign, designer should redesign toilet stool not to waste too much water. However, this system can be analyzed by Axiomatic Design. Usually, engineers are interested in not scientific effect itself but its application.
Subsequently, two specific industries are reviewed, namely the automotive industry and the detergent industry. Companies use these ambiguous terms to promote goods and services, sometimes with additional, more specific certifications, such as eco-labels. This work describes the application of EcoDesign environmentally conscious design within the electronics manufacturing company Philips and how the process has matured from a case-by-case basis driven by single persons to becoming a standard part of the product creation process of most of Philips' business units. Despite of significant progress in using computer aided tools for product development and design, environmental aspects were attended. After the translation into national law the development of environmentally friendly products is a basic approach to contribute to the fulfilment of the topics mentioned above.
However, most of the faucet with sensor uses electricity from the battery. Environmentally-friendly Product Development is a comprehensive survey of environmental design. The members of the group are: Dr Helén Williams, Karlstad University, Sweden Group Leader A. I was living in Sussex. In the last few years women have taken a more and more active role in buying decisions on consumer electronics. This paper reviews current-day practice in green marketing, and assesses the dissemination of the linkedbenefit strategy. In cases where businesses are continuously active to improve the environmental performance of their products and activities, the availability of knowledge on environmental impacts is indispensable.
The scope of the process has widened beyond the product to now include the supply chain, the end of life, and consumer behavior as well. In the past designers have focussed only on technical and economical aspects when developing new products, taking into account market-conditions and their company's resources. Thus, they generated idea replacing fixed trap to flexible trap. The Packaging Saves Food Research Group can be described as: A dedicated and committed group of academics and scientists from around the globe, we pledge to provide our knowledge, skills and experience thus seeking to create an understanding that will allow us to build influence in the sustainable development field in relation to the role of packaging. In addition, using battery is not environmental friendly. Prof Fredrik Wikström, Karlstad University, Sweden A. Their general use as euphemisms can be referred to as greenwashing.
Although, Axiomatic Design does not guide designer how to change the system toward uncouple or decouple design, it is helpful when designer wants to define a system or identify whether the system has problems or not. Vision of Environment as a key target for product development v vi Preface Product related environmental issues are getting more and more political and public awareness. Current consumer and industry trends, however, suggest an increasingly important role for packaging as a marketing vehicle. Th anks to our sponsors; BillerudKorsnäs, Paper Province and the Swedish Funding agency Formas this group could be formed to meet future challenges in the role of packaging for sustainable development. In this paper, Goldfire Innovator® was used for referring Effect database. This is taking place in different ways and at different levels. It means that independence of functional requirements must be always maintained.

Herbert Simon
SI's mission is to increase the capacity of policy networks to mitigate global catastrophic risks and build resilience for civilization to flourish.
From biotechnology to the development of transformative AI, humanity is facing emerging challenges of unprecedented scale. The existence of future generations with lives worth living depends on our civilization's ability to safeguard them from global catastrophic risks. But the multilateralism needed to govern these low-probability, high-impact events is out of sight.
We connect research with practice to support a risk- and resilience-focused multilateralism enhanced by science. Our tools, knowledge, and community help to cope with competing objectives and uncertainty. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, we support policy networks centered around the United Nations. As a non-profit, SI can focus on lasting, impartial impact.
Policy networks?
A wide range of actors inside and outside of political institutions contribute to the creation of policy: elected officials, civil servants, academics, civil society, lobbyists, and more. It is this dynamic co-creation process SI seeks to support.
Policy support
We develop science-policy workshops, training programs, and provide advice with a focus on improving the collective capacity of policy networks to reduce global catastrophic risks by exchanging information and coordinating in a timely manner.
Field-building
We seek to better understand policymaking by synthesizing knowledge and testing the usefulness of our hypotheses and tools. To that end, we also coordinate a network of practitioners and researchers who share knowledge and experience.
Value-driven
Human civilization is progressively reaching higher levels of well-being. Despite shocks, such as large-scale epidemics and world wars, more people are living longer and healthier than ever before. Humanity's progress and abilities suggest that the future of life could be vast in size and of unprecedented quality. We work to increase the chances of that happening.
Resilience-focused
Global catastrophic risks have the potential to curtail our civilization's future or even reverse past progress. To build resilience to the most extreme shocks, humanity has to improve coordination at all levels of governance. We are focused on supporting policy networks contributing to the mitigation of low-probability high-impact events.
Science-based
Complementary to those researching the nature of global catastrophic risks, we research the dynamics of the relevant policy networks. We unite knowledge on policy processes, human behavior, and global catastrophic risks to test hypotheses for achieving resilience.

Herbert Simon (1916 - 2001) was a political scientist, cognitive psychologist, computer scientist, and economist.
His research represents much of the knowledge SI is building on and aims to contribute to. He shared our goals long before we had conceived of them.
Herbert formalized the concept of bounded rationality, i.e. that humans make decisions under uncertainty with cognitive constraints. In 1978, he received the Nobel Prize in Economics and in 1975 a Turing Award. He is known for having seminally contributed to the fields of behavioral economics, public administration, complexity science, and artificial intelligence.
We thank Katherine, Barbara, and Peter Simon for having granted us the honor of naming the Institute for Longterm Governance after their father.

Artists In Focus | Snarky Puppy
Home Music Education Artists In Focus | Snarky Puppy
Tuesday, 22nd September, 2020
The New York instrumental ensemble that really needs no introduction. Snarky Puppy has a roster of incredible talent that leaves you pulling the same bass-face as Michael League on the cover of our grade 7 Bass books.
Lingus (We VERY MUCH Like It Here!)
There isn't much that one can say about this song that will do it full justice. The 2014 We Like It Here track is catchy, complex, groovy and fun – you only have to see the faces of the musicians who are a part of it to see that. But before we go any further, the video of the live recording is a MUST watch. Totally essential viewing.
Cory & The Keys
Do you have goosebumps yet? We do. The talent amongst this group of musicians is completely jaw-dropping. We could write an entire blog about Cory Henry and THAT SOLO alone. At the raw age of 5, Cory was already dubbed "Master Henry" by those who knew him, for his sheer ability to accompany any song, in any key, on the Hammond organ. This solo truly solidified his rightful position in the jazz-fusion world and his career really took off after being a member of Snarky Puppy. Sadly, he no longer plays with the band, but has started a hugely successful project – Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles.
Let it be known that Snarky Puppy tunes are highly complex, thus, it should come as no surprise that "Lingus" is included in our grade 8 Keys syllabus. The challenge in this track is to really feel secure in that 5/4 time signature. The piece will demand control, rhythmic mastery, a strong sense of groove and an understanding of intricate harmony, but hey, you didn't think this would be easy, did you?!
A League of His Own
It was actually bassist, Michael League, who founded the band back in 2004 whilst he was studying at the University of North Texas. League said that his reason for starting the band was "because I was so bad… Snarky Puppy was my way of getting to play" (though we find that hard to believe!). Ever since, the band have almost been a "collective", rotating through a roster of performers but still keeping a tight, familial unit feel amongst them. The current roster boasts 19 members, but has seen around 40 unbelievable talents join them over their 15 years and 14 albums!
League is arguably one of the best band leaders of his generation. He is also a producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist that has collected 3 Grammy awards. For this reason, it would be a crime not to include "Lingus" in our grade 7 Bass syllabus too, which also poses its challenges for the player. You will need to develop a deep understanding of the groove, not only in the bass part. How does the keyboard comping pattern contribute to the overall feel of the piece? The first section of the song is played in half time, and when combined with an odd time signature, this almost creates the illusion of 4/4. You really have to keep your wits about you in this one!
We can all take some inspiration from the Snarky Puppy crew - Larnell Lewis, Shaun Martin, Robert "Sput" Searight, Justin Stanton. We could write a book on their individual brilliance, but I think we can all agree that the magic that happens when these musicians come together is nothing short of genius.
If this doesn't inspire you to pick up that bass, or practise those modes a few more times, then maybe you just need to listen to a few more Snarky Puppy albums. Check out their Spotify catalogue below!
Failing that, perhaps you'd be inspired by artists like Kaki King, Queen, Bill Withers or Taylor Swift? Have a read of some of our previous Artists in Focus blog posts.

I have tried changing the data role of the TOS page to a dialog but that made no difference.
Am I not understanding the way dialog links can be used (from the docs I thought I could open one from any URL simply by defining the link as a dialog)
Site itself is http://mobiletest.trackmaster.com and it is the Terms link in the footer I am trying to get as a dialog (I don't want to include the content on every page, only when the user asks for it)
Any help appreciated (even pointing out the dumb things I am missing)

A: You are either missing a
 or they don't match up; you've got two "content" divs.
EDIT: It's probably OK to have one within another, just noting that the
 is never closed.  Don't know if that makes any difference.

A: Found the issue.
The line in the header
$.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
I commented it out and the dialog link works as expected.
was the problem, I am testing it to see what else gets broken when I pull it out :-).
Data role for the TOS page is NOT relevant as loading it as a dialog automatically assigns the dialog data role

Finding medical office space is different from finding office space for other industries. That's because the criteria is more extensive and complex. To illustrate our knowledge on the matter, we've compiled a brief list of all the variables that make medical office space for rent Westchester County search so difficult, and followed by an explication of why our services can make that search much easier and more effective.
At the very least, physicians will utilize x-ray equipment. Beyond that, depending on your practice, you may perform CT scans and any number of other equipment that uses radiation. In the off hours of your medical office, you will need to store that equipment securely in a space that protects the buildings inhabitants from radiation poisoning. This entails extra measures that will surely appear in the your lease. In general, the presence of hazardous equipment and materials are usually grounds for a bump in rates for the lease.
Albeit, private practices don't have emergency rooms, which means patients should be able to schedule appointments during work hours. That being said, people don't always get sick at the most convenient of times. When possible, we'd all like to avoid the emergency room. This isn't lost on most physicians, and as a result, many will agree to see their patients during after hours. From a landlord's perspective, this distinguishes physicians from other tenants in how it reflects on the utility bill. This is also something that you'll have to negotiate prior to signing the lease.
Most landlords, by contract, reserve the right to enter their commercial spaces as they please. They sometimes do so to explore how well the tenants are managing the space. Or, if they suspect that their tenants won't renew and the lease is nearing its end, they'll take some time to show the space to other prospective tenants. With medical office space, landlord's don't have nearly as much liberty to move about a space for which they are the owner. This is difficult for some property owners to come to terms with.
But at the end of the day, patient privacy laws prohibit landlords from entering entering rooms with documents about patients. Additionally, for the protection of all who inhabit the space, landlords also cannot enter areas that hold hazardous or infectious materials. Maneuvering these unfortunate realities with a property owner may be something you'd want to leave to someone with experience in doing so.
Depending on the practice, death could be commonplace for some offices. Normally, leases have clauses saying that landlords reserve the right to evict their tenants and penalize them in the event of any injury or death on their property. Needless to say, this is a clause that you will have to modify if you are going to be a tenant with terminally ill patients entering your office on a daily basis.
The issues we've listed above are only the tip of the iceberg. To learn more about the intricacies of medical office space for rent Westchester County services, give Rakow Group a call today at (914) 422-0100.

Arthur Percy Sullivan VC (27 November 1896 – 9 April 1937) was an Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to a member of the British Armed Forces. Born in South Australia, Sullivan worked for the National Bank of Australasia prior to enlisting in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in April 1918 for service in World War I. He had arrived in the United Kingdom, but had not completed training when the Armistice came into effect on 11 November. Sullivan was promoted to corporal in March 1919, but wanting to see active service he sought and received his discharge from the AIF on 28 May. On the same day, he enlisted in the British Army for service with the North Russia Relief Force, part of the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War.

Sullivan was deployed to northern Russia with the relief force. Following a successful attack, he was a member of the rearguard of a column withdrawing across the Sheika River. As his platoon crossed the river on a crude one-plank bridge in the early hours of 11 August 1919, it came under intense fire from Bolshevik troops, and four members fell into the river. Sullivan immediately jumped in and rescued them all, one by one, and was awarded the VC for his actions. Demobilised from the British Army after completing his service, Sullivan returned to Australia and resumed his civilian career as a banker. He was in London for the coronation of King George VI as part of the Australian Coronation Contingent in 1937, when he died of head injuries received in a fall. His medal set is displayed in the Hall of Valour at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

Early life
Arthur Percy Sullivan was born on 27 November 1896 at Prospect, South Australia, the only child of Arthur Monks Sullivan, a storekeeper, and his wife Eliza  Dobbs of Crystal Brook in the mid-north of the state. Beginning on 9 February 1904, he was educated at Crystal Brook Public School and from 1910 at Gladstone High School where he was the school captain. Sullivan was also editor of the school magazine and the best Australian rules football player for his school.

After completing his education in mid-1913, he gained employment at a branch of the National Bank of Australasia in Gladstone on 25 September. After six months' probation, he was taken on as a clerk on 8 April 1914. Only 17 at the outbreak of World War I, Sullivan wanted to enlist, but his parents would not give the necessary permission. On 25 May 1915, he was promoted and transferred to a branch at Broken Hill, New South Wales, just over the northeastern border of South Australia, where he was promoted to ledger keeper. The following year he returned to his home state to work at a branch in Maitland commencing on 30 October, where he was promoted to teller. Sullivan played golf and Australian rules football, and was the secretary of the Maitland Patriotic Society, which organised farewells and welcome home events for local men who had enlisted or returned from the war. He turned 20 soon after his arrival in Maitland, and his parents permitted him to enlist, although he did not do so immediately.

Military service

World War I
On 27 April 1918, Sullivan attended a fund-raising parade in Port Pirie for the Returned Soldiers' Appeal. After the parade, the attendees congregated at the town recreation grounds, where a sports carnival was held, and volunteers for the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) were encouraged to come forward. Sullivan enlisted that day as a private in the AIF and was allocated as a general reinforcement. He underwent training at Mitcham Camp in Adelaide between 14 May and 4 June, and was then farewelled in Maitland at an event similar to those he had organised for other recruits before their departure. He embarked with about 700 others on the troopship HMAT A74 Marathon in Melbourne on 23 July bound for the United Kingdom. The convoy in which the Marathon travelled sailed via Albany, Western Australia, Durban and Cape Town, South Africa, and Freetown, Sierra Leone. Upon arriving in Tilbury in the UK on 27 September, Sullivan was briefly allocated as a reinforcement to the 10th Battalion before transferring to the Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery training camp at Heytesbury, Wiltshire, on 5 October 1918. He was still in training when the Armistice was declared on 11 November 1918, and Sullivan therefore saw no action in World War I.

While posted to the camp at Heytesbury, Sullivan contracted gonorrhea and was hospitalised at Bulford Camp between 25 November 1918 and 11 March 1919. Upon discharge from hospital he was transferred to a training battalion at Codford, and on 23 March he was promoted to acting corporal, and employed as a camp orderly room corporal. He was keen for a tour of active duty with the North Russia Relief Force (NRRF) as part of the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. This intervention had begun after the Bolsheviks had overthrown the Russian government and made peace with the Central Powers in 1917. Allied troops had become involved in the ongoing civil war, and after the Armistice in November 1918, their involvement continued, albeit with poorly defined objectives. In March 1919, the NRRF was conceived to intervene against the Bolsheviks and create a situation where the original force could be withdrawn. Although no Australian contingent was being sent with the NRRF, it was recruiting amongst Australians then in the UK, and a recruiting officer visited Codford in April. Sullivan was attracted by the high pay and potential for adventure. The Australian government limited recruitment to single Australians who were willing to forgo their right to repatriation. Sullivan was discharged from the AIF on 28 May 1919, and enlisted in the British Army on the same day as a corporal.

The NRRF was an 8,000-strong force of two brigades that included about 150 Australians who had been awaiting repatriation from the UK. Sullivan was allotted to the 45th Battalion, the Royal Fusiliers (45th RF), part of the NRRF brigade commanded by Brigadier General Lionel Sadleir-Jackson. The Australians were permitted to continue wearing the Australian uniform, and wore the NRRF colour patch on their sleeve. The commanding officer of the 45th RF was Lieutenant Colonel Charles Davies, an Australian who had commanded the 32nd Battalion on the Western Front. Sullivan and the other Australians went into camp at Sandling in Kent where they prepared for their deployment. The Australians who volunteered for the NRRF were concentrated in two units: the 45th RF, and the 201st Company, Machine Gun Corps.

Sullivan sailed directly from Leith to Russia with an advance party on board the cargo ship Steigerwald on 9 June, and, travelling via Murmansk, landed at Archangel on 20 June. A 50-man detachment of the advance party was almost immediately sent up the Dvina River by paddle steamer to the village of Pinega, where they stayed for five days, ostensibly to quell rioting, although they actually encountered no trouble. They returned downstream to the village of Osinovo where they were reunited with the rest of the advance party. Osinovo was about  behind the frontline at the village of Seltso, and the camp contained about 4,000 troops. At Osinovo, they went into camp with the rest of the advance force, and underwent intensive training. On the river was a flotilla of British monitors and gunboats. The main body of the NRRF arrived in Archangel on 11 July, following two mutinies by British-led White Russian battalions in the area. The Bolsheviks held a fortified line about  south of Osinovo.

Dvina offensive
In August the NRRF was ordered to advance  down the Dvina River to attack the Bolsheviks. About 4,000 men of the NRRF, supported by the river flotilla, artillery and aircraft, were set against about 6,000 Bolshevik troops of the 3rd Brigade of the 18th Division, also supported by artillery. D Company of the 45th RF, which included Sullivan and about 20 other Australians, was to push down the western side of the Dvina and take the villages of Sludka and Lipovets from the rear. Other columns were to attack other villages on the river. The D Company column included machine gun sections, mortars, mountain guns and some cavalry. They were ferried across the river to the village of Yakovlevskoye and set off on the afternoon of 7 August. They then undertook a wide-sweeping approach march of nearly  through a thick forest to be in position for the attack at 12:00 on 10 August. The aims of the overall offensive were three-fold: to lower Bolshevik morale; to push back the Bolshevik river flotilla so that mines could be laid to impede any follow-up of the imminent British withdrawal; and to improve the morale of the anti-Bolshevik forces.

Sludka was the column's first objective, but on 9 August, scouts reported that the location of a swamp made a direct attack on the village impossible. As a result, the column pushed further south to attack the village of Kochamika, after which they would turn north and capture Sludka. The approach march began at 06:00 on 10 August, and the men slogged through the mud to positions at the edge of the forest by 11:00. Thirty minutes later, the British artillery, the river flotilla and aircraft began bombarding Kochamika. At 12:00, the D Company column, which included Sullivan's 16 Platoon, launched its assault, although without the support of the mountain guns and cavalry that had been left behind owing to the difficult terrain. With bayonets fixed, the force easily put the stunned Bolshevik defenders to flight. As soon as the village was taken, they came under fire from the Bolshevik river flotilla.

D Company then pushed northwards, capturing several hamlets and many Bolshevik prisoners, although D Company's commander was killed by river gunboat fire. After scouting out Sludka, a successful assault was mounted on that village as well, while another column led by A Company captured Lipovets. The D Company column then joined A Company at Lipovets aiming to then reunite with the rest of the force, which had been unsuccessfully attacking the village of Seltso from the north. The Bolsheviks landed around 100 sailors between the two Allied columns, cutting off the southerly column including A and D Companies. Without their commander and running low on ammunition, the remaining officers decided to try to break out rather than push on towards Seltso. Impeded by their own wounded, over 500 prisoners-of-war, and local townspeople forced to accompany the column to stop them informing the Bolsheviks, the column made slow progress. Sullivan's 16 Platoon was designated as the rearguard.

About 02:30 on 11 August, having covered  in eight hours, the column crossed the Sheika River, which at this point resembled a deep swamp about  wide. The crossing was over a crude single-plank bridge. Sullivan's platoon was holding the near bank. As the long column crossed in single file, it was hit by Bolshevik rifle and machine gun fire at a range of less than . The fire from the ambush increased as the rearguard crossed, and four men fell into the swamp and were in danger of drowning owing to exhaustion. Despite the intense Bolshevik gunfire and already nearly across the river himself, Sullivan immediately set about rescuing them. The first man that Sullivan saved from the swamp was Lieutenant Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox, Lord Settrington, who had been wounded prior to falling off the bridge. He was the eldest son of the 8th Duke of Richmond and heir to the dukedoms of Richmond, Lennox and Gordon. He died of his wounds two weeks later in hospital at Bereznik. The second and third soldiers rescued were similarly pulled out of the swamp by Sullivan after either being hit or avoiding enemy fire. The fourth man was some distance away and Sullivan waded out with a piece of broken handrail from the temporary bridge that the soldier was able to grab and be pulled to safety. All four would have drowned without Sullivan's action. The fusiliers returned fire from the far bank, and suppressed the Bolshevik fire. After the river crossing, some members of the column broke off into smaller groups, but all remaining members made their way back to the British lines at Troitsa about 07:00. Total British casualties during the overall attack were less than 30 killed with over 100 wounded.

For his actions on 11 August, Sullivan was recommended for the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to a member of the British armed forces. Two other Australians were awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM), second only to the VC, for their actions at the river crossing.

British forces successfully evacuated from North Russia by late September, leaving Troitsa by 10 September, and sailing from Archangel on 27 September, with Sullivan having spent 100 days in Russia. On 26 September, Sullivan's VC was formally announced in The London Gazette. The citation read:

When told of his award, Sullivan said that his comrades were also worthy of recognition and stated that his VC should be raffled, although the latter did not occur.

Return to Australia
The Australians arrived in Plymouth on 9 October, and were then sent to a repatriation camp near Winchester. After a rowdy night out on leave following their arrival, a British sergeant tried to get the names of all the miscreants in his notebook. When questioned about his name, Sullivan replied, "Corporal Sullivan VC to you, you pommie bastard". Despite the insubordination, no action was taken against him. Sullivan gave only one interview about his VC exploits, and was modest and unassuming, saying that it was "not much to talk about", and that he had been lucky. He remained reluctant to talk about his VC actions, and became known as the "Shy VC".

The NRRF was demobilised upon its return to the UK. Sullivan wished to return to Australia immediately without waiting for his investiture by King George V. He left England on 1 November aboard the troopship Nestor, and travelling the reverse of the route he had followed in 1918, Sullivan returned to Adelaide, the South Australian capital, on 12 December where he was greeted as a hero and afforded a reception at the Adelaide Town Hall. During the voyage he became friends with a Tasmanian VC recipient, Walter Brown. On his return to Maitland, the Maitland Patriotic Society held one last welcome home event, on 6 January 1920, at which Sullivan was the guest of honour.

On hearing of his VC, the National Bank decided to give Sullivan a gratuity of A£100, which was enough to pay for a small house in Adelaide. He was presented with his VC at Government House, Adelaide, on 13 July 1920 by Edward, the Prince of Wales, during his royal tour of Australia. The prince smiled at Sullivan and quipped "Aren't you the man who ran away from father?" Soon after his investiture, he became seriously ill with malaria, which he had contracted while in Russia, but he soon recovered. For his service in World War I and the Russian Civil War, in addition to the VC, he was also awarded the British War Medal and Victory Medal.

Later life
Arthur Sullivan was a very popular man, and his reputation as the "Shy VC" was enhanced by his "unassuming character and reluctance to talk of his exploits". Upon his return to Australia, he resumed his former employment with the National Bank of Australasia, initially at Maitland from 9 February 1920, and re-immersed himself in the local community and sports. In July 1921, he was promoted and had to be transferred to take up his new appointment as part of the bank's relieving staff. He fulfilled this role until 7 May 1925, when he took up the position of accountant at the Orroroo branch which he held until November 1927. While there, he met Dorothy Frances Veale, a nurse at the local hospital, and they began a courtship. During this time he donated a machete he had carried in North Russia to the Australian War Memorial. In 1927 he travelled to Melbourne to participate in a dinner and in the Anzac Day Commemorative March alongside 28 other VC recipients. Later that year he was transferred back to the South Australian relieving staff for four months, followed by a move to New South Wales, still as part of the relieving staff pool. After writing to each other daily during their separation, Sullivan married Dorothy, whose family were from the state of Victoria, at an Anglican church in Fairfield, Victoria, on 5 December 1928.

In 1929 he transferred to the bank's head office in Sydney where he and Dorothy lived at Manly for five years. They had three children, Moya born in 1931, and twins Brian and Shirley in 1933. In July 1934, Sullivan was made the manager of the bank's branch in Casino, New South Wales. He was closely involved with the community, was president of the local Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League of Australia sub-branch, and was widely admired and respected in the town.

Australian Coronation Contingent
In 1937, Sullivan was selected to join the Australian contingent to attend the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, although Sullivan had another reason to want to travel to the UK. His friend, British Sergeant Arthur Evans, VC, DCM, formerly of the Lincolnshire Regiment, had died in Australia, and Sullivan had promised to escort Evans' ashes to his family in the UK. The Australian Coronation Contingent (ACC) comprised 100 soldiers, 25 sailors and 25 airmen. Half the soldiers were serving troops and half were returned members of the AIF. Sullivan was the only VC recipient in the group. As a condition of joining the ACC, Sullivan was re-enlisted as a gunner in the Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery on 31 January. The ACC went into camp in Melbourne on 1 February, where they were subjected to drill, physical exercise, route marches and picquet duty for two weeks. On 16 February, the ACC embarked at Melbourne on the ocean liner , and Sullivan was upgraded to a first-class berth. Sullivan did not take to being under military discipline again, and he was charged with two disciplinary offences whilst aboard.

Oronsay sailed via Adelaide, Perth, Colombo, Aden, Suez, Naples, Monte Carlo and Toulon, including several opportunities for shore leave.  The ship docked in London on 25 March. Sullivan handed his friend's ashes to representatives of the British Legion at Lytham St Annes in Lancashire on 27 March, and they were passed on to Evans' sister. Despite an intense schedule of parade ground drill, the main purpose of the visit was ambassadorial and ceremonial, so leave was granted most afternoons and evenings and there were many offers of hospitality.

On 9 April 1937, a little over a month before King George VI's coronation, Sullivan attended an afternoon tea in St James's along with about fifty members of the ACC. He left the tea party early in order to get ready for a reunion dinner that evening at the Royal Fusiliers regimental headquarters located in the Tower of London. About 19:40, as it was getting dark, he was returning to his accommodation at Wellington Barracks on Birdcage Walk, Westminster, when he was mobbed by autograph hunters. While attempting to avoid them, he slipped and struck his head against the kerb, fracturing his skull; a cyclist also struck him. He was taken to hospital, but died soon after, aged 40.

In the wake of Sullivan's death, the ACC cancelled all their scheduled activities for three days, including an honour guard they were to mount for the arrival in London of the ACC commander, General Sir Harry Chauvel and his wife. Chauvel was also a friend of Sullivan's and, as a director of the National Bank of Australasia, knew Sullivan on a professional level. Sullivan's death deeply affected the members of the ACC as well as both governments, with King George VI and Queen Elizabeth sending a message to the Australian high commissioner and former prime minister of Australia, Stanley Bruce, to express their sadness. Because of legislative requirements, Sullivan's inquest was conducted with his coffin in the court. The coroner found that his death was accidental, and was caused by a fracture to the base of the skull and lacerations to the brain. One of the autograph hunters provided compelling evidence that Sullivan had fallen before the cyclist collided with him.

Legacy
After lying in state with an ACC catafalque party for ninety minutes, Sullivan was afforded a full military funeral at the Guards Chapel, Wellington Barracks, on 13 April, which was attended by many notables, including between nine and twelve VC recipients, including one Australian, Frank McNamara. The funeral was said to have been the largest military funeral given to a soldier of his rank. Afterwards, his body was cremated at Golders Green after a short service by the former Australian World War I chaplain George Green. The ACC lined the route to Golders Green, along with thousands of onlookers. On 12 May, to acknowledge Sullivan's death, a gap was deliberately left in the ranks of the ACC as they marched in the coronation parade. His ashes were returned to Sydney with the ACC where they were met by Dorothy. A pallbearer party including nine VC recipients was one element of a long procession from Man O'War Steps to the Northern Suburbs Crematorium with much of the route lined with onlookers. After a short service, his ashes were interred under a tree marked by a simple metal plaque.

The National Bank of Australasia gave Dorothy a gratuity of £250, sufficient to purchase a cottage near Manly so she could be close to friends and family. In March 1939, Sullivan's mother presented an enlarged photograph of her son to the Crystal Brook Primary School. In the same year, a bronze plaque was made by a member of the ACC, but owing to World War II it was not placed upon the iron railings of Wellington Barracks, close to where Sullivan was killed, until January 1946. Dorothy attended the 1956 VC centenary celebrations in London, with her travel costs picked up by the National Bank of Australasia. When she died in 1980, she left his medal set, including the VC and King George VI Coronation Medal, to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. They are displayed in the Hall of Valour. In 1996, the Vietnam veteran Keith Payne VC unveiled a plaque in Crystal Brook dedicated to him. In 2015, a memorial to Sullivan was unveiled in Crystal Brook. His name is inscribed on the Maitland War Memorial.

Q: Codeception sometimes sees a blank page At times Codeception will throw an error because an element is not found, when I look at the screenshot it shows a blank page.

I do see content in the HTML file that is generated. I guess it just needs more time to load, what would be the most effective way of catching this? (without using visualception).
I was thinking of always waiting for some text in the footer, but may be there's a better approach?
TLDR;
What is most efficient way of checking that page is blank without activating visual detection? (source code is not blank and JS appears to be fully loaded)

A: I encountered the same problem, it was because we run the tests on a different host than the one on which we were coding.
The host usually used when coding: myapp.local
The host used only for testing: myapp-test.local

Today's Tip: How Do You Deal with Negative Online Reviews?
You can do everything right for the customer, from the introductory handshake through to delivery and follow-up.
Everything seems perfect…until they leave a scathing review online. It comes totally out of left field and catches you by surprise.
Today's retail industry sees it a lot.
Shoppers complete their purchase with a smile on their face. Then, when they get home, they vent any misgivings or negative experiences with the rest of the world. Their online review I posted for everyone to see: your staff, your current clients, and any potential customers that check you out on the web.
The term for it is e-thug. They are pleasant in public but love to air their grievances in front of everyone else online instead of with you directly.
Not every negative review is from an e-thug; some are genuinely unhappy customers who want to tell their experience. Nonetheless, how you deal with negative reviews online is all about you, and nothing to do with the actual review poster.
Letting negative reviews stand without a response is like an admission of guilt, whether it's an accurate review or not.
There's a way to turn that review into a positive light for anyone that sees it, and all it takes is a well-phrased response.
• Acknowledge the poster's feelings. Tell them you're sorry they feel the way they do. Whether they've responded appropriately to their situation or not, how they feel doesn't change.
• Remain open and polite. Address the concern by name, whether it was poor service, high prices, or otherwise. A very specific response does wonders.
• Offer an avenue to resolution. Request that the reviewer calls or visits someone specifically so their concern can be resolved.
And that's the Tip of the Day.
Many customers are willing to look past negative reviews and see how you responded before making any decisions. And CPI has many effective tools to help you. Contact us today at (212) 763-0016 to learn more. Thanks for watching.
When you don't monitor or manage, you're leaving things to chance.
Others will see reviews, or lack of, or even negative ones, and move on.
Automotive retail and your online reputation revolve around customer experience and reviews.

Relativistic quantum field theory, in particular QED, has been developed in the middle of the last century to describe high energy scattering experiments. The extension of the perturbation expansion in quantum mechanics to the transition amplitudes, given in the interaction representation, has been completed by the method using Feynman graphs. Ever since then, there has been a growing need for quantum field theory beyond scattering experiments, and the corresponding perturbation expansion has been introduced by J. Schwinger and bears the name Closed Time Path formalism. This scheme covers the calculation of expectation values and provides a more universal language of quantum theory. The effective theory approach to quantum field theory, developed within this formalism, can cope with open quantum systems. Similar results have been found by L. V. Keldysh by extending Feynman graph techniques to thermal equilibrium.
We believe that the Schwinger–Keldysh formalism is the natural language of quantum field theory since it covers both closed and open interactions in a natural manner. This issue is all the more important because the observed quantum systems tend to be open through interaction channels both at low and at high energy, reflecting the limit of our possibilities and knowledge, respectively. The uncontrollable small energy exchange with the environment leads to the violation of conservation laws, the dynamical breakdown of the time reversal invariance, dissipation, decoherence and relaxation. The last two phenomena are essential to the emergence of classical physics and statistical mechanics. The unknown high energy physics, beyond the current space resolution of the experiments, together with the UV divergences of realistic quantum field theoretical models, force us to use cutoff or effective theories which are valid up to some energy scale. Hence, the usual renormalization group procedure also has to be extended to open dynamics.
The quantum field theory of open systems allows us to access a number of important physical questions:
Why is the conventional quantum description, based on pure states and closed dynamics, so efficient in the presence of the ubiquitous entanglement?
What is the relation between decoherence and dissipation?
In what sense is equilibrium statistical physics the IR fixed point of an infinite open system?
How do the classical, macroscopic averages emerge from the quantum domain?
How can nanophysics be connected to micro- and macro-physics in a quantitative manner?
Contributions are expected to touch these and other issues of open many-body physics.
