When you've had a great experience buying or selling your own home—thanks to a talented real estate agent—it makes sense to seek out this trusted Realtor again and again. However, if the home you're looking to sell is a probate property, this might just be a mistake.
Unless your dearly departed loved one made arrangements to avoid probate (such as a living trust) prior to passing away, most of the estate assets will need to go through the probate process. This includes the family home and all other real estate owned by the decedent.
Often the decedent's home is sold during the probate process to cover debt claims against the estate. It may also be sold so that the proceeds can be used to equally distribute the cash value of the estate amongst multiple beneficiaries.
If you're facing this situation, you need the help of an experienced probate real estate agent who understands how selling property during probate proceedings differs from a traditional home sale.
When you're selling your own home through a traditional sale, you're acting in your own interests, which means you can set your own timeline for the home sale. You're free to list the property at any time and at any price.
With traditional sales, it'll take an average of three weeks to get an offer for the home—and you are free to choose whether or not to accept the offer. Once accepted, you'll have an average 47-day period and once all the final contracts are signed the home is sold without any need for court supervision.
When you're the executor or personal representative selling a home during probate you have what is known as a fiduciary responsibility to the estate. This means you must act in the best interests of the decedent's estate. This means you'll need to follow state probate laws and any potential directives from the probate court judge when setting the price and, in some cases, the timeline.
Due to these regulations, probate property sales can be both subtly and significantly different from a traditional home sale. Just how different depends on whether the probate court granted you rights of independent administration or dependent administration.
If you as the executor have been granted independent administration rights, the probate property sale proceeds much in the same way as a traditional property sale. You have the freedom to set the list price, list the property on your timeline and accept an offer without interference from the probate court.
However, there are probate-specific details that your agent needs to stay on top of, such as using the proper probate contracts, listing the home as a probate property, and making disclosures specific to probate.
If these details aren't in order at your final probate hearing, the probate court judge likely won't allow the estate to be closed. You'll need to redo the paperwork and schedule a new hearing, causing the lengthy probate process—which already takes an average of six to nine months—to drag on even longer.
For personal representatives who've been granted dependent administration rights, the probate property sale is already lengthier and more complex. In these cases, the probate court oversees the home sale through an additional hearing called the court confirmation hearing.
Before this hearing, the executor hires a probate agent to list the house at a price that cannot be less than 90% of its fair market value. Once you receive and accept an offer, it must then be presented to the probate court for confirmation.
Fortunately, many states have taken steps to streamline the probate process and to avoid complicated steps like the court confirmation hearing.
So far, sixteen states have adopted the American Bar Association-approved Uniform Probate Code to simplify probate proceedings. Other states have streamlined the probate process on their own, such as in California where they've enacted the Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA).
Thanks to this, probate property sales requiring court confirmation are on the decline across the country. Most of the country does have streamlined probate but they would still go to Court if someone in family objects to the sale.
The complexities that arise from changing and varying state regulations make hiring a probate-experienced real estate agent a must.
Do I Need a Certified Probate Specialist?
Since probate experience is such an important qualification for your real estate agent, finding one that's officially certified might be the smart play.
Known as Certified Probate Real Estate Specialists (CPRES), real estate agents with this designation have been trained by the U.S. Probate Services. In order to receive this certification, an agent must pass a test that measures their ability to handle complex probate property sales procedures.
Of course, not all experienced probate real estate agents have CPRES certification, which is totally fine. Non-certified agents may have instead received their probate training through past experience of handling probate property sales or by attending seminars.
Just be sure to ask about what type of probate training or education your chosen agent has had.
Which Came First, the Agent or the Lawyer?
When you know how lengthy the probate process can be, your first instinct might be to get the home listed as quickly as possible.
Even if you are named as the executor of the estate in the decedent's will, you have no legal authority to transact any estate business until you have been officially appointed as the estate's personal representative at your first probate hearing.
This means that you cannot list the house or even sign a listing agreement with your probate agent until you have authorization from the probate court. To get this authorization, you need to have a probate attorney file a petition to probate with the probate court and then wait until you're granted rights at that first hearing.
So the first professional you need to contact in order to help you navigate the probate process is an experienced attorney. However, hiring a probate attorney doesn't mean you should forego hiring an experienced probate real estate agent. While waiting for the court authorization, an agent can help prep the home for sale by assessing the property's condition, running comparables in your area, determining the home's value, connecting with cleaning services, contractors, and other vendors.
While probate attorneys charge by the hour, probate agents receive the same commission that a traditional real estate agent would be paid.
If you opt for hiring an agent inexperienced in probate, you'll have to ask your attorney to review the home sale documents to ensure they meet probate regulations—which will cost you more in attorney fees.
It's only natural to want the comfort of the family agent's familiar face to help you through the difficult duty of selling your childhood home. However, if your regular Realtor has never sold probate property, your probate proceedings will go more smoothly if you enlist the help of a qualified probate agent.

Q: Need a help in understanding example(1) on Riesz representation theorem. The author said:
"A functional $F$ on $L^{2}([a,b])$ is bounded and linear iff there exists a $g \in L^{2}([a,b])$ such that $$F(f) = \int_{a}^{b} f(t) \bar{g}(t) dt,$$
for all $f \in L^{2}([a,b])$. In this case $||F|| = ||g||.$"
**$Q_{1}$**I do not understand why the functional $F$ is bounded and linear iff the above condition is satisfied ?
**$Q_{2}$**Also I do not understand why in this case $||F|| = ||g||$?
Could anyone explain this for me please?
Thanks!

A: If $F$ is linear and bounded then such a $g$ existes because that's what the Riesz representation theorem says.
On the other hand, if you take $g\in L^2\bigl([a,b]\bigr)$ and then define $F$ as you did, it is easy to see that $F$ is linear. If $\|f\|=1$, then\begin{align}\bigl|F(f)\bigr|&=\left\|\int_a^bf(x)\overline{g(x)}\,\mathrm dx\right\|\\&\leqslant\|f\|.\|g\|,\end{align}by Cauchy-Schwarz. Therefore, $F$ is bounded and $\|F\|\leqslant\|g\|$. In order to see that $\|F\|=\|g\|$, there are two possibilities:

*

*$g\equiv0$: then $\|F\|=\|g\|=0$;

*$g\not\equiv0$: then $\left\|\frac g{\|g\|}\right\|=1$ and $\left|F\left(\frac g{\|g\|}\right)\right|=\|g\|$. Therefore, $\|F\|\geqslant\|g\|$. But we already saw that $\|F\|\leqslant\|g\|$.

On Thursday 8th October 2015, Fellows exhibited it's current products as well as newly designed and developed CopaCure products in Sandwell.
The exhibition was attended by over 300 delegates from various market sectors and was focused on the new £430 million hospital to be built in Smethwick.
International Copper Association Ltd has commissioned York Health Economics Consortium, a global leader in healthcare-associated modelling, to develop a fully referenced cost-benefit model for hospital managers to illustrate the economic rationale of an antimicrobial copper intervention.
Their model is based on the cost of implementing a copper touch surface installation and the balancing cost savings resulting from reduced infection rates. This document details a worked example using actual screenshots from the software.
Antimicrobial copper offers a new approach to infection control – and makes a material difference to well-being and finance. Completely safe to humans, copper is very effective against bacteria, viruses, yeasts and fungi.
There is abundant evidence that touch surfaces play a significant role in the spread of infection, and that copper is an effective and appropriate self-disinfecting material for touch surface items.
The cost-effectiveness of copper, researched by York Health Economics Consortium, is staggering: payback in under 2 months for a 20 bed ICU in the UK, plus significant long-term savings and freed-up beds.
CopaCu+re represents a new way of thinking: employing an engineering material with intrinsic antimicrobial properties to help protect public health.
Fixtures, fittings and other CopaCu+re touch surfaces made from antimicrobial copper continuously kill pathogenic microbes, between touches and between cleans, helping to break the chain of infection and providing an additional weapon in the fight against healthcare-associated infections.
Fellows offer a wide range of items in antimicrobial copper, available under the CopaCu+re brand. These products are made and marketed in accordance with the Cu+ stewardship scheme managed by the Copper Development Association and International Copper Alliance.
Please note: healthcare infections are a multifaceted issue; antimicrobial copper is a supplement to, not a substitute for, hand hygiene and cleaning.
Not harmful to people or the environment.
The above Mariana range is the first product in a range of products Fellows are looking to bring to market over the coming months, all based on the unique CopaCure base metal.

J. Denny Shupe and Harry J. Cooper Receive PBA Ernico Awards, June 21, 2018
J. Denny Shupe, a litigation partner at Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis LLP in Philadelphia and Harry J. Cooper, a Bucks County criminal defense lawyer, have each received a PBA Jeffrey A. Ernico Award in honor of their work in support of veterans.
PBA Pro Bono Coordinator David Trevaskis noted the importance of celebrating the good work of those who help veterans, sharing both the difficulty of such work when you are often dealing with people who have experienced difficulties with systems that should have provided support and the real sense of satisfaction that comes when you can make a veteran's life better.
Cooper was honored for his support of the veteran's outreach efforts of the PBA Pro Bono Office, beginning with his service starting in 2003 as a Legal Assistance for Military Personnel (LAMP) volunteer and continuing with his efforts under the Lawyers Saluting Veterans program. A former chief of police in New Britain Township, Bucks County, Cooper's pro bono efforts for poor veterans range from advice to direct representation in both criminal and civil matters. Cooper is a volunteer for the PBA YLD Wills for Heroes program that helps both first responders and veterans with basic estate planning.
Cooper is a past recipient of a PBA Pro Bono Award for "routinely providing more than 100 hours of such service each year, taking some of the toughest cases that come into the PBA Pro Bono Office, particularly for veterans facing a myriad of problems, both civil and criminal." Cooper is also a gifted educator, having a long history of helping teach young people — as well as educators, law and justice professionals and others — about the law.
Cooper explained his sense of service as a product of lessons from his father as he grew up in a row home in Philadelphia. "We had the house at the end of the row but when it snowed we shoveled the entire block and my father would not allow us to take a penny from anyone for doing it," he explained. Cooper said he asked his father why and his father told him that they helped others out because others "were unable to do it themselves." That simple message that you help others because you can has informed Cooper's approach to pro bono service.
Shupe was recognized for his service as an excellent model for leadership in pro bono and public interest legal service. Shupe, an Air Force Academy graduate and retired Air Force officer and command pilot, currently chairs the Special Problems in the Administration of Justice Committee (U.S.) for the American College of Trial Lawyers (ACTL). He is one of the leaders in the ACTL's nationwide effort to develop and implement a groundbreaking project to address the more than four-year backlog in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' processing and selection of disability award appeals for veterans, delays that deny constitutional due process and can deny veterans the financial resources they need for daily living.
Shupe has also been instrumental in connecting his national pro bono and community service work to more local efforts for currently serving military personnel, their families and veterans. He has helped the Military Assistance Project find volunteer attorneys to meet the legal needs of service members and veterans. He serves as an adviser and mentor for Penn Law Veterans. In recent years, while he was co-chair and chair of the Philadelphia Bar Association's Military Affairs Committee, Shupe also supported the Veterans Multi-Service Center, which has Pennsylvania locations in Philadelphia, Coatesville and State College, as well as Millville, N.J.
Shupe served on the board of the USO of Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey as a member and former chairman, and also was elected as the national chairman of the USO Affiliate Council, where he assisted with national fundraising and service delivery programs for actively serving armed services members and their families. Since leaving the USO board, he has continued to support the efforts of the local Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey USO organization. Shupe has also provided direct pro bono representation in cases ranging from prisoner rights to family law matters.
Shupe spoke of the importance of serving others, especially veterans, and tried to explain why such service was so important to him. He never quite finished that explanation, as emotions welled up inside him, but there was need for him to say anymore as his passion for helping others was palpable. Schnader's Dennis Suplee, a past chairman of the firm, provided brief remarks honoring the awardees.
Presenting the awards on behalf of PBA President Charles Eppolito III were PBA Past President Thomas Wilkinson and Kathleen Wilkinson, longtime PBA leader and a former Philadelphia Bar chancellor.

GETTING OTHER PEOPLE TO WRITE YOUR CHARACTERS FOR YOU, AND WHY IT'S GREAT
Here's a brief version of the article, if you're busy: get the other players, and the GM, to make some decisions about your character before play starts – who they are, what they want, what's going to happen to them. It's fantastic.
Now, a longer version of the above:
A BRIEF ASIDE ABOUT APOCALYPSE WORLD, BEFORE WE START
The first time I came across the concept of giving up control of your character to other players was during my first, and indeed only, game of Apocalypse World. One of the ways that it handles levelling up is through getting another player to mark off one of your stats that they want to see you use in the following game. If you use it, you mark XP, and you get more mechanically powerful and adaptable as a result.
So if you're playing a big muscly dude, maybe that other player wants to see you do your thing – so they pick the stat you use to beat people up. But maybe they want to see you struggle to stay calm, so they pick the stat that you use to keep your cool, and it's lower than all your other stats. Maybe they want to see you get involved with unnatural weirdness or try to seduce someone. By marking a particular stat, you get to communicate to the other player that you're interested in a particular performance.
I didn't realise you could do that! I didn't realise you could ask another player to do something cool just because you wanted to see it. But it makes sense, right? This is a performative art form, this is us inhabiting characters and making exciting situations, we are audience and players both.
A FURTHER BRIEF ASIDE TO ANSWER ANY COMMENTS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT IMPROV AND STORY-FOCUSED ROLEPLAYING NOT BEING THE "ONE TRUE WAY" OF ROLEPLAYING, AND WHY CAN'T YOU JUST PRETEND TO BE AN ELF AS HARD AS YOU CAN AND TO HELL WITH THE METANARRATIVE
Hey – you be you. You roleplay however you want to. I believe we have a duty to be entertaining, all of us, players and GMs alike, and part of being entertaining comes from treating roleplaying as a dramatic exercise and not as a character-focused simulation – because that leads to interesting choices, snappy stories, and, you know, fun.
Your opinion may differ! You should write a blog post about it.
I'M PICKIN' UP GOOD FOUNDATIONS
Smash cut forward a year, and we're knee-deep in writing Unbound. We're trying to see what the hell we use instead of a skill system, because we aren't fans of standard skill systems. We knock through a few ideas, and all of them focus on something crowdsourced. For a while, we had each player contribute two skills to the list, and then pick one of their own and one of someone else's. It was okay, but it ended up limiting us more than we wanted. (Plus, while you might get snacky skills like "Coerce" and "Witchcraft" and "Hunt," you often got stuff like "Extravagant Posing" and "Circular Logic" which are funny to begin with but end up really limiting the mechanical effectiveness of your characters.)
So we ended up using Foundations, which are – let's be honest – backgrounds from 13th Age with the serial numbers filed off. They work really well. With backgrounds (and foundations) you create a skill set that's not focused around the future, as in what characters can do, but around the past in that they say what the character has already done.
As in: Athletics 5 tells us that someone is pretty good at Athletics. But Champion Runner 5 does the same thing with the added bonus that it drops a little bit of history in there – the character was a competitive athlete at some point in their past. With a background-focused skill set, you define the world as you define your character.
(Which is the entire idea behind Unbound, anyway – to give everyone creative control over a communal world, because that's loads of fun.)
At the same time we were trying to work out how levelling up worked in the game, and we settled on fates – basically, scenes you'd like to see your character involved in. These are pretty nifty because they give the players some control over the narrative flow of the game but also, more importantly, they mean that the GM has barely anything to do, ever. You sit down at the start of a game session and say "Okay, what are everyone's fates?" and you sort of improvise a story out of that while veering towards the campaign goals you set out in the first session.
But the interesting thing about fates is that players only picked one of their own, and the group came up with their other one. Which means that you were pretty commonly thrown a curveball during character creation, and your character is taken in a direction that you weren't expecting.
Which does two things: one, it means that you're interested and excited about the path your character is taking because part of it is a surprise, and two, it takes some of your ownership and control away from the character.
WHY LOSING CONTROL IS GREAT
We don't live lives of control. (Most of us.) We are messy hairy fuck-ups, wobbling bags of electric meat that blunder through life until we die. We are not perfect logical machines and we don't always makes the best choices.
In roleplaying games, especially old-school roleplaying games, there is often a desire to make the best, most efficient choice – because they're often pitched as puzzles or resource management games. So while the best choice might result in the loss of the fewest hit points, it doesn't always make for the best story.
Also, in a world where the GM has access to infinite resources and a cast of thousands, it can be difficult for a player to let go of an iron grip on their character, because their character is all they've got. And, again, this can make for some boring, disparate stories.
What giving away control over the base elements of your character does for your story, then, is that it distances the players slightly from their avatars. It reinforces the idea that none of this is really happening, and we can all have a better time if we think about story positioning and put our characters in weird, challenging and sub-optimal positions. I've written about this at length before.
(What I forgot to say is: it also shows a real regard for the other players and their characters. When people select your fate, it shows that they're interested in seeing your character develop in a certain way and that they want to see you do that. And that's cool, isn't it? To have someone ask for a particular performance? That pushes you into a playful mode of thing, a back-and-forth challenge that reminds me of improv shows – can you do this? Can you play this character? Can you talk your way out of this situation? And so on.)
Eventually, we did the same with foundations. The group selects a core foundation that describes the group, each player creates one for themselves, and then the group as a whole comes up with a second foundation for each player.
SUDDENLY, I'M A SOCIALIST
Last night, we did world creation for a new game of Unbound. It's set in the Regency period in England, and we are playing young ladies of marriageable age who must present themselves appropriately, find a suitable husband, and master the art of driving eight-foot tall war golems into battle.
It's a good pitch. I'm playing Kitty, a girl from old money that's so old it's basically run out, and who's being sent to Bath to summer and hopefully find a rich husband to help out her ailing family fortune. (And she's a tomboy, and rough around the edges after mucking in on the farm since she was a kid, and she doesn't want to get married, etc.) But then we came to foundations, and one of the other players suggests that she's a revolutionary socialist, and shiiit. Now I'm interested. Now that's a character.
Everyone got inversions and extra layers of depth. The hard northern girl is a closet romantic after reading too many novellas. The Indian girl is a spy, and she doesn't even know it yet. The stable boy/mechanic got the foundation "Not Just A Pretty Face," which gave him a pretty face and a lot more besides. The beautiful heiress picked up "too intelligent for her own good," which throws a new light on her.
Suddenly, we shifted from one-note characters to things with depth and interest and avenues for growth and surprise, and all because we stepped away from the single idea we built our character around and let someone else into that sacred space. And we'll have a better game for it. Every time Mary uses her "too intelligent" trait, I'll be invested because I came up with it. Whenever I lapse into socialist rhetoric at a fancy ball, I'm sure Helen will be more interested in the outcome because it was her idea.
So it binds us as a group, it surprises us, it makes for a better game. And I reckon you should do it too, because stepping back from a white-knuckle grip on your character can make everything much more fun.

Nice article. I like the way you think abaout new ways in roleplaying and gamemastering.
I would like to translate it for my friends on our forum about RPG games. Is it ok with you?
Coolessay.net says:
To create a convincing character for your story just take note of certain characteristics of the people you know that distinguish them from everyone else. Does that boy who lives across the street have a habit of knocking things over? Does your best friend talk with her hands when she's excited? These could be quirks of a character you create yourself.

A Proud Tradition
Notre Dame Academy was first opened on 5th Street, Covington, in 1876 as a grade school. The Sisters of Notre Dame had arrived from Coesfeld, Germany, shortly before this opening, making the academy one of the first efforts of the Sisters here in the United States. In the fall of 1906, the Sisters began the high school program that grew so quickly that by1937 the grade school program had to be discontinued.
The first 40 years of the high school's existence were very literally graced with the leadership of Sr. Mary Agnetis Schmitz, S.N.D.. Sister saw the enrollment increase over those years as she watched the facility on 5th Street age and become less and less adequate. In the mid 1950s the Sisters began seriously planning for a new facility. Sister Mary Agnetis, now past her leadership years, but still very active in the school, began looking around for potential donors. This search led her to Conrad Hilton, the hotel magnate. Sister's first letter to Mr. Hilton impressed his secretary so much with its charm and sincerity that she passed it on to him, and thus began a wonderful correspondence of 17 years. Not only that, which is little known, but Mr. Hilton contributed $500,000 to the building campaign, one third of the campaign goal, and helped to acquire additional contributions. All of these contributions allowed the Sisters to build a new facility on Hilton Drive in 1963.
Interestingly, the letters that passed between Sr. Mary Agnetis and Conrad Hilton forged a sort of partnership with Conrad supplying funds and business advice, and Sister offering interest in and promises of prayer for his business ventures. Revealed in the letters is a surprising candor on the part of both writers, along with a sense of genuine concern and congeniality. The partnership established between Sr. Mary Agnetis and Conrad Hilton was not extinguished with the deaths of these two titans. Mr. Hilton's grandson Steven M. Hilton was responsible for an additional contribution from the Hilton Foundation when Notre Dame expanded the science labs and media center, added classrooms, and constructed a new gym in 1996.
Why all the money, all the effort on the part of so many people, starting unflinchingly with Sr. Mary Agnetis, over all these years? What would she respond if asked that question today? We think we know: Notre Dame Academy is here to help young women to be all that God made them to be, women of faith who have a clear understanding of themselves and their world, possessing leadership qualities that will enable them to bring that faith into their everyday lives, women who will make a difference in this needy world long into the future. That's our goal, too, for Notre Dame Academy.

The Top 50 T-Shirts of All Time – 50-41
Published on June 21, 2016 June 21, 2016 by Chris Rheeston
In my day job, I work for a printing company, or a merchandise management company if I was looking for a better term. This means that I get to some excellent designs and excellent examples of merchandise which comes from some of the biggest companies in the world.
One question I get asked frequently is what's the best T-Shirt I've ever seen, worn, or owned and it always causes me to think because there's a lot of good T-Shirt designs out there.
T-Shirts have been around for over 100 years and in this time there's been some of the best, and worst, designs imaginable that has been printed onto the front of the T-Shirt – from merchandise to just brilliant designs. For this reason, I've decided to create a list of the top 50 T-Shirts of all time and also give a bit of a reason why I selected it.
As having a top 50 can create a long blog post, I've decided to segment it into 5 posts of 10 and run down from number 50 all the way to number 1. So without further delay let's take a look at what I've come up with.
50. HELLO KITTY:
OK, I admit, I've never owned or even wore a Helly Kitty T-Shirt and but I have purchased them for my niece.
Originating way back in 1976, Hello Kitty was created in Japan and it's since gone on to become a $5 billion empire. Over the past 40 years, Hello Kitty has continued to become more of a global brand with kids (and even some adults) going mad for their merchandise.
For this reason, I've had to include them in my top 50.
49. IT'S THE FED'S:
While many people purchase the T-Shirt because they want to act like they're part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, many others want to try their hand at becoming Female Body Inspectors (although both never seem to work).
Whichever reason, FBI T-Shirts are sold all over the world and their a popular tourist purchase from those visiting our cousins across the pond.
48. MY NAME IS BARRY ALLEN AND I'M THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE:
The Flash is the first of many superhero T-Shirts that will enter into my top 50.
Superheroes tend to generate a lot of revenue through their merchandise sales but they're also becoming more and more popular today. The reason for this is because of new films and TV shows that are being released on a yearly basis.
The Flash T-Shirt features the Flash's cool lightning bolt logo on the front and the red background gives you a cool look which was also made famous by The Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper.
47. THE HARD ROCK CAFE:
It's not just bands, brands and comic book heroes that can sell their own merchandise. Hard Rock Cafe prove that if you've got a good reputation you can sell anything to your fans.
Each Hard Rock Cafe restaurant features a vast array of memorabilia and they all sell their own T-Shirts with the location printed on them.
With over 100 restaurants worldwide, it's easy to see why the Hard Rock Cafe T-Shirts are one of the most popular T-Shirts around.
46. BANANAMAN:
I did say that the Flash wasn't the only superhero T-Shirt I would be mentioning! What can I say about BananaMan? He's nobodies favourite superhero and if you asked a comic book fan about their favourites – I bet BananaMan wouldn't make the list.
I like the BananaMan T-Shirts because he's a parody of traditional superheroes, transforming from a schoolboy to a muscle-bound caped crusader with a super power of 'intense stupidity'.
Since the original BananaMan character appeared in Nutty magazine back in 1980 – he has gone on to become something of a cult icon and his T-Shirts have enjoyed massive success throughout the years.
45. THE UNION JACK:
The Union Jack dress was made popular by Geri Halliwell, however, the T-Shirts have been popular with brits for as long as I can remember.
Us British love nothing more than donning our Union Jack's every time there's a sporting event to showcase our national pride and to get behind our teams. The Union Jack was also made popular in other countries thanks to famous Brit bands including The Sex Pistols and Def Leppard.
44. OH, REALLY PENFOLD?
Danger Mouse was one of my favourite cartoons growing up. The British animated cartoon series was originally aired back in 1981 and ran right the way to 1992.
The cartoon was a parody of British spy fiction and featured the voice of the excellent David Jason.
The T-Shirt was originally picked for nostalgic reasons but recently, the TV series has been revived and the popularity of this great British cartoon is increasing once again.
43. FREEDOM IS THE RIGHT OF ALL SENTIENT BEINGS:
What's cooler than robots from outer space that can disguise themselves as cars and trucks here on Earth?
That's the premise for transformers and it's been popular ever since the franchise began back in 1984. Since then, we've seen cartoons and multi-billion dollar films being released to bring the Transformers into the 21st century.
The fifth film instalment of Transformers is due out in June 2017 so you can expect the merchandise sales for the Decepticons and Autobots to once again go through the roof.
42. DON'T HAVE A COW, MAN!
Everyone's favourite American family, the Simpsons is one of the world's most recognised cartoons. The animated sitcom was created by Matt Groening and appeared as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show back in 1987.
Since then The Simpsons became so popular that they were given their own 30-minute prime time show and cartoons have never been the same since. Since the original episode back on December 17th, 1989, the show has broadcast 596 episodes and it's currently airing its 27th season – impressive stuff for a cartoon.
Along with this, merchandise sales continue to grow each year. Every 11 year old wants a Bart Simpson T-Shirt and every dad secretly aspires to be just like Homer.
41. ALWAYS COCA-COLA:
Cola-Cola is the perfect example of what can happen when a huge, global brand releases their own range of merchandise.
Coca-Cola is one of the biggest brands of soft drinks in the world and it's available to purchase pretty much everywhere. To help them boost sales, Coca-Cola also launched a range of merchandise which has become so popular that it has its own online store.
On the store, you can buy T-Shirts, caps, straw holders, napkin holders, glasses, hoodies and pretty much everything else. Coca-Cola is still one of the main reasons why large companies should get into selling their own merch.

Pull In Transition Settings

The analysis needs to find the three sections of a stage (pull in, hold, and off). There are multiple configurable approaches for finding these sections. This setting helps define the transition from pull in to hold.

Pull In Transition Settings

Option 1: Pull In Transition Pulses uses the number of found voltage pulses to determine when the pull in section is done. The channel value sets the number of pulses to look for.

Option 2: Pull In Transition Current Drop measures the current drop after finding a max value to determine when the pull in section is done. The channel value sets the drop level.

The CW's latest Supergirl trailer shows the fourth season antagonist Agent Liberty (Sam Witwer) in action. Fans have been preparing to see Kara Zor-El/Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) go up against a wave of anti-alien bashlash that's been brewing since the series began. Now, the new face of the movement appears to be starting an all-out political war. Agent Liberty originally appeared in Superman Vol. 2 #60, and although the Man of Steel is set to appear in this year's Arrowverse crossover, it remains to be seen if the two will collide.
The show's third season ended with Supergirl's defeat of Reign (Samantha Arias), another Kryptonian sent to conquer Earth during infancy. This was the third extraterrestrial attempt at colonizing the Earth, following Kara's Kryptonian Aunt Astra (Laura Benanti), and the Daxamite invasion lead by Queen Rhea (Teri Hatcher). Although he hasn't been seen in the series, Lex Luthor is the key inspiration behind the anti-alien factions that Kara and the Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO) have contended with. His mother Lillian Luthor (Brenda Strong) led Project Cadmus, while his step-sister Lena (Katie McGrath) has become torn between defying her family's xenophobic sentiments and her growing distrust for the Girl of Steel. With Mercy Graves rallying for anti-alien policies, it appears that the plot to turn the world against Supergirl has finally emerged.
"These are tough issues. I was going to answer your question: The hardest thing is solving world peace [laughs]. How do you get people to be kind to one another and listen to one another? One of the challenges for Supergirl this year is that there's anti-alien sentiment. How does Supergirl combat fear when she is the thing they are afraid of? I think these are difficult issues in real-life just as they are in dramatic portrayals, and we're just all just kind of soul-searching in the writers room"
For Kara herself, this season may be a test of how much she's learned about her own prejudices and her willingness to listen to concerns about how she affects the world around her. Season 2 saw her overcoming her preconceived notions about Daxamites through her relationship with Mon-El. Unlike her cousin, Kal-El, she hasn't rejected cooperation with Earth-led organization using kryptonite, in the event of an Kryptonian threat. But she's not a flawless hero or person. Kara's connection to Lena is likely to be the lynchpin in what perpetuates or ends the anti-alien war. Their relationship may be on the same trajectory of the Clark Kent/Lex Luthor dynamic, which gradually shifted from friendship to a bitter mutual hatred. Lena's grudge against Supergirl for treating her like a pawn in the third season is valid, and has yet to be resolved. However fastidiously noble her intentions are, Kara taking a good, hard look at her "super"-iority complex would present the kind of profound character growth that has made Supergirl so successful.
Supergirl season 4 premieres on Sunday, October 14, on The CW.

Civilian deaths hit new high as West looks for Afghan exit
Posted: July 15, 2011 | Author: Julius Cavendish | Filed under: Afghanistan |Leave a comment
More civilians are dying in Afghanistan than at any time during the past decade, a new United Nations report says, as the war spreads to previously safe parts of the country and insurgents increase their use of suicide bombers, child soldiers and homemade bombs. Afghanistan's grim arithmetic for the first six months of the year includes 1,462 civilians killed, 80 per cent of them by insurgent groups, and another 2,144 wounded: a 15 per cent jump on the same period in 2010.
"The rising tide of violence and bloodshed in the first half of 2011 brought injury and death to Afghan civilians at levels without recorded precedent in the current armed conflict," the UN mission in Kabul said yesterday.
It added that there was every likelihood the true total is higher than reported, because the closure of one of its offices following a deadly attack had left it unable to collect some data.
The worrying data comes as coalition partners are all announcing major reductions in troop numbers and fixed dates on when they expect to have completely withdrawn from Afghanistan when responsibility for security will be taken on by the Afghan security forces. The preparedness of these domestic forces to take on the job of protecting the Afghan population has been questioned on many occasions.
Among the more harrowing examples of the worsening conflict – and increasingly brutal tactics – was the Taliban's increased use child soldiers, including as suicide bombers.
On 12 May a 12-year-old killed three civilians and injured 12 others in an attack in eastern Afghanistan. He was the youngest-recorded suicide bomber.
There were also increasing numbers of women suicide bombers, the report said, and in one instance, "insurgents instructed an eight-year-old girl to bring a package of explosive devices to a police vehicle. The insurgents remotely detonated the bomb, killing the girl."
The report singled out for particular censure the Taliban's "unlawful" use of homemade bombs, its assassination campaign against civilian officials, and its attacks on hospitals. It called pressure-plate activated improvised explosive devices (IEDs) – the Taliban's weapon of choice – "de facto landmines" that killed indiscriminately. Homemade bombs were responsible for 30 per cent of all civilian deaths.
Nato also came in for some criticism. The UN found that the number of civilians killed in air strikes "particularly by Apache helicopters" had shot up, especially in Afghanistan's east and south-east where Nato has not been able to meet an intensifying insurgency with as many ground troops as it has devoted to the southern flashpoints of Helmand and Kandahar.
Although the number of civilians killed in night raids is down, according to UN figures, "they remain one of the most despised tactics in the eyes of the Afghan population". That point was underlined after Afghan officials claimed Nato forces had killed six civilians in a raid hours earlier, although Nato insists they were insurgents. President Hamid Karzai ordered an investigation.
UN rights officials also argued that Nato plans to hand over control of parts of the country to Afghan security forces had provoked a wave of insurgent attacks designed to undermine the credibility and morale of Afghan forces.
The reality of the findings was driven home by a bombing in a mosque packed with mourners for the late Ahmed Wali Karzai, the President's brother, who was assassinated earlier this week. It left four dead including a child and a leading member of Kandahar's religious council, a cleric who had disparaged Taliban tactics for years. The bomber is thought to have smuggled explosives inside the mosque inside his turban.

Conor McGregor gets offer to coach The Ultimate Fighter: 'I like it' (January 25)
featuredConor McGregor gets offer to coach The Ultimate Fighter: 'I like it'
featuredMMA Twitter roasted Kelvin Gastelum over failed Conor McGregor, Caitlyn Jenner joke
Fedor Emelianenko hospitalized due to COVID-19
Former Pride FC champion and current Bellator fighter Fedor Emelianenko has been hospitalized in Russia after contracting COVID-19.
Fedor is being treated at Clinical Hospital No. 52 in the Russian capital, according to RT Sport. Though no details of his health were released by the hospital, Fedor posted an encouraging message to his official Instagram account.
"Thank you all who are sincerely worried about my health. I am feeling well now, I am on the mend," he wrote. "I am grateful to the doctors and medical staff for their care and your hard work."
Though he considered offers from the UFC, Fedor never inked a deal with the world's foremost mixed martial arts promotion.
Nearing his retirement, Fedor instead opted to fight for Bellator MMA, whose president, Scott Coker, is a longtime friend of Fedor's dating back to his Strikeforce tenure.
Fedor has been on something of a retirement tour after losing to Ryan Bader in the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix. He defeated Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in the first round at Bellator 237 in December of 2019, but his tour stalled out in 2020 because of the global coronavirus pandemic that causes COVID-19.
Pending Fedor's recovery from COVID-19, Coker has been hoping to have him continue his retirement tour, culminating in a marquee bout on his home turf in Russia.
Fedor got his start in the famed Rings tournaments in the early 2000s before becoming one of the most dominant figures in mixed martial arts history with his run in Pride FC in Japan.
He has fought for numerous other organizations since Pride was purchased by the UFC, but could never come to satisfactory terms with UFC officials in order to fight in the Octagon.

Biden Watch
Biden's Racial Spoils System
It is antithetical to America's founding principles.
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden at the White House, March 29, 2021 (Lawrence Jackson/Official White House photo)
A Further Perspective
Mike Pompeo Has a Sense of Humor
Hither and Yon
Five Quick Things: Are American Women Undatable?
In 2012, Joe Biden warned blacks that the GOP was going to put them "back in chains." The remark was a foreshadowing of his obsession with critical race theory, which now informs his administration's policies. Derrick Bell, one of the founding fathers of critical race theory, had laid the groundwork for such incendiary rhetoric. "Slavery is, as an example of what white America has done, a constant reminder of what white America might do," he wrote. Bell, recall, was one of Barack Obama's favorite professors at Harvard. In 2008, the Obama campaign concealed a video of Obama praising and hugging Bell at a rally in support of one of his crackpot demands.
Now Bell's ideas hold sway over the federal government. One of Biden's first acts was to sign an executive order titled, "Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government." Biden thereby declared that critical race theory would serve as one of the organizing principles of his administration. The theory is nothing more than a glorified form of reverse racism. By subscribing to it and advancing it so aggressively, Biden reveals the insincerity of his stated desire for national unity.
Biden is not ending racial resentments but stimulating them. It is hard to imagine a move less conducive to national unity than incorporating into the workings of the federal government a philosophy that regards most Americans as racists. Biden has chosen to pander to the Al Sharptons of his party at the expense of national unity, racial harmony, and the founding principles of the country.
It is bad enough that Biden is bombarding Americans with this insulting propaganda. But he is also going to force Americans to pay for it. According to recent reports, his Department of Education plans to dole out grants to purveyors of Black Lives Matter–style propaganda. Biden's Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, is a champion of "woke" curriculum and is pushing for "equity" in America's classrooms. Cardona, as Fox News notes, last presided over Connecticut's public schools, where students under his leadership were indoctrinated in "the construct of race and why and how it was developed."
Biden has chosen to pander to the Al Sharptons of his party at the expense of national unity, racial harmony, and the founding principles of the country.
Biden says that he is undertaking this agenda for the purpose of eliminating "systemic racism." In truth, he is simply setting up his own systemic racism — one that is as nakedly unjust as any previous version, insofar as it treats today's whites, who bear no responsibility for the historic evils of slavery and segregation, as oppressors. To move from one set of injustices to a new set of injustices is not progress. It is a formula for engendering permanent racial tensions.
Just as Biden's "justice" gives rise to new injustices, so his "equity" swallows up equality. He is in effect establishing a racial spoils system, which is based upon an explicit rejection of equality before the law. Kamala Harris admitted as much when she tried to explain the difference between equality and equity last year:
So there's a big difference between equality and equity. Equality suggests, "oh everyone should get the same amount." The problem with that, not everybody's starting out from the same place. So if we're all getting the same amount, but you started out back there and I started out over here, we could get the same amount, but you're still going to be that far back behind me. It's about giving people the resources and the support they need, so that everyone can be on equal footing, and then compete on equal footing. Equitable treatment means we all end up in the same place.
In other words, "equity" is a massive project of race-based social engineering, an endless tinkering with social conditions by government that authorizes all manner of discriminatory treatment of politically disfavored races. Under this view, the goal is not equal opportunity but equal outcome. "Equity" is thus the enemy of equality and freedom, since the latter pose impediments to equal outcome. If government is to secure that goal, its leveling commissars must have the power to treat people differently and squash freedom.
Critical race theory is an offshoot of critical theory, which has its roots in Marxism. It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Biden–Harris administration is entangling itself in such dangerous and unrealizable nonsense. It is simply picking up where Obama left off. What Barack Obama learned in Derrick Bell's classroom and Jeremiah Wright's church is that a fundamentally transformed America requires reverse racism. In seeking to complete Obama's vision, Biden has signed off on a racial spoils system that is antithetical to America's founding principles.
It is an America not of justice and freedom for all but quotas for some and discrimination for many. It is an America where schoolchildren memorize not the words of the Gettysburg Address but the tenets of critical race theory, which holds that America was conceived in sin and dedicated to white supremacy. In peddling these poisons, Biden shows himself to be a race-baiting demagogue, not a statesman. He is willing to weaken the country in order to strengthen the special interests of his party. In the end, his embrace of critical race theory will not end "structures" of domination but sanction even more disfiguring new ones.

We are excited to announce our partnership with two super creative educators from The Curriculum Corner! You can expect to see more blog posts containing free Common Core aligned lesson ideas, teacher resources and templates you can easily print with your VariQuest Perfecta 2400 or VariQuest Poster Maker - just be sure you have the latest VariQuest Software v4.0!
*Note: This lesson addresses the part of the standards highlighted in teal only. Teachers will need to address other parts of the standards in future mini-lessons.
Choose a book that has fairly distinctive characters, perhaps one that has some very different types of characters. In intermediate classrooms some good choices might be books by Patricia Polacco or Jacqueline Woodson.
Prepare "Story Characters: Inside and Out" anchor chart for mini-lesson.
Copy the graphic organizer "All About the Character" for each child in the classroom.
Set the purpose for the read aloud by introducing students to the anchor chart "Story Characters: Inside and Out". Discuss the difference between physical traits (what the character actually looks like) and character traits (what the character's personality portrays). Show and discuss the traits shown on the anchor chart, and then have students share more. Add the students' responses to the anchor chart if desired.
Read aloud the story you chose for today's lesson. At the end have students brainstorm both physical traits and character traits for a character in the story. *The teacher may choose to create a character map with the character's name in the middle, and then use two different colors of markers to distinguish between physical traits and character traits.
Explain directions for today's independent reading task – All About the Character Graphic Organizer.
Have students find spots to begin their independent reading time and complete the independent task.
To extend this lesson to fit the fifth grade standard it is suggested that the teacher follow the above plans for a Day 1 mini-lesson to motivate students to think more deeply about the characters in a story. A Day 2 mini-lesson would involve a class discussion (based on the previous days' organizers) using the Comparing Story Characters Venn Diagram provided.

Massachusetts Census Data
ByHispanic PR Blog
Mar 23, 2011 US Census
Data for Massachusetts show that the five most populous cities or towns and their 2010 Census counts are Boston, 617,594; Worcester, 181,045; Springfield, 153,060; Lowell, 106,519; and Cambridge, 105,162. Boston grew by 4.8 percent since the 2000 Census. Worcester grew by 4.9 percent, Springfield grew by 0.6 percent, Lowell grew by 1.3 percent, and Cambridge grew by 3.8 percent.
The largest county is Middlesex, with a population of 1,503,085. Its population grew by 2.6 percent since 2000. The other counties in the top five include Worcester, with a population of 798,552 (increase of 6.3 percent); Essex, 743,159 (increase of 2.7 percent); Suffolk, 722,023 (increase of 4.7 percent); and Norfolk, 670,850 (increase of 3.2 percent).
The redistricting file consists of five detailed tables: the first shows the population by race, including six single race groups and 57 multiple race groups (63 total race categories); the second shows the Hispanic or Latino population as well as the non-Hispanic or Latino population cross-tabulated by the 63 race categories. These tabulations are repeated in the third and fourth tables for the population 18 years and over and are for the resident population of the United States. The fifth table provides counts of housing units and their occupancy status.
These five detailed tables are available to the public online via FTP download at http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/01-Redistricting_File–PL_94-171/ and will be available within 24 hours at http://factfinder2.census.gov. (Access 2003 or Access 2007 shells or SAS scripts are provided to assist with importing and accessing the summary file data from the FTP site. These shells and scripts can be found at http://www.census.gov/rdo/tech_tips. This Web page also contains special instructions for linking data downloaded from FactFinder and/or the FTP site with the Census Bureau's geographic products.)
By April 1, all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will receive these data for the following areas: state, congressional districts (for 111th Congress), counties, minor civil divisions, state legislative districts, places, school districts, census tracts, block groups and blocks, and if applicable, American Indian and Alaska Native areas and Hawaiian home lands. In addition, data are available for the 46 states that voluntarily provided voting districts to the Census Bureau's Redistricting Data Program. Unique geographies for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are also available.
Race and Hispanic Origin Data
The Census Bureau collects race and Hispanic origin information following the U.S. Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) standards for collecting and tabulating data on race and ethnicity. In October 1997, the OMB issued the current standards, which identify five race groups: white, black or African-American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. The Census Bureau also utilized a sixth category — &8220;some other race.&8221; Respondents who reported only one race are shown in these six groups.
Individuals were first presented with the option to self-identify with more than one race in the 2000 Census, and this continued in the 2010 Census. People who identify with more than one race may choose to provide multiple races in response to the race question. The 2010 Census results provide new data on the size and makeup of the nation's multiracial population.
Respondents who reported more than one of the six race groups are included in the &8220;two or more races&8221; population. There are 57 possible combinations of the six race groups.
The Census Bureau included the &8220;some other race&8221; category for responses that could not be classified in any of the other race categories on the questionnaire. In the 2000 Census, the vast majority of people who reported only as "some other race" were of Hispanic or Latino origin. Data on Hispanics or Latinos, who may be of any race, were obtained from a separate question on ethnicity.
How to Find Assistance
Additional information about the redistricting data program, including news releases for other states, can be found online at http://2010.census.gov/news/press-kits/redistricting.html. More information on the redistricting data program is also available at http://www.census.gov/rdo/data.

Description of Five Custom Tables
In addition to the full set of detailed tables to be available on FactFinder within 24 hours, five custom tables are also attached to this news release. The first (Table 1) shows the counties and most populous cities and towns in 2010, their change since the 2000 Census and their population rank for both decades.
Table 2 shows data for all ages and for those 18 and older for the Hispanic or Latino population, as well as for people who reported one race and those who reported two or more races. This table also shows the numeric and percent change in the population by race and Hispanic origin between 2000 and 2010.
Table 3 is similar to Table 2. However, it shows data for the six &8220;race alone or in combination&8221; categories. The concept &8220;race alone or in combination&8221; includes people who reported only a single race (e.g., Asian) and people who reported that race in combination with one or more of the other major race groups (i.e., white, black or African-American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and some other race).
The concept &8220;race alone or in combination,&8221; represents the maximum number of people who reported as that major race group, either alone or in combination with another race(s). The sum of the six individual &8220;race alone or in combination&8221; categories may add to more than the total population because people who reported more than one race were tallied in each race category.
For people who reported two or more races, Table 4 shows the population in each of the 15 combinations of two races (for example, the number of people who reported being both white and black or African-American).
Table 5 shows the population in the major race categories and of Hispanic or Latino origin for Massachusetts' counties and most populous cities and towns.

In the spring I took over theater-reviewing duties for the Times Union from Michael Eck, who had been the chief critic for about 20 years. Since March, I've reviewed more than 70 performances, on stages from Hudson to Glens Falls, Schenectady to the Berkshires. Here is an alphabetical list of my five picks for the best of the year.
Kevin McGuire at Capital Repertory Theatre, Albany: McGuire, who ran the Theatre Company at Hubbard Hall in Washington County for many years, gave a pair of superb performances at Capital Rep in 2013. In April he played Mark Rothko in "Red," John Logan's towering two-character drama about the great Abstract Expressionist considering his art, influence and legacy as he struggles to finish an important commission. McGuire and David Kenner, playing Rothko's assistant, gave their intellectual sparring sessions real heat and passion. This holiday season, in a just-completed run, McGuire chewed the scenery and showed off to a touching and hilariously apt degree as Ebenezer Scrooge in a quirky rewrite of "A Christmas Carol" that, despite its nonstandard structure and narrative, stayed true to the spirit of Dickens' original.
"Kill Me Now" by Kaliyuga Arts at Cross Street Theatre Center, Hudson: The Catskill-based Kaliyuga Arts — which is run by a married couple, Steven Patterson and John Sowle, who have been artistic collaborators for 25 years — gave a wrenching U.S. premiere to Canadian playwright Brad Fraser's powerful drama about a father and son dealing with a health crisis. It was brave and painful theater, at times so emotionally intimate that watching felt voyeuristic, but you couldn't look away.
"Master Class" at Shakespeare & Company, Lenox, Mass.: Annette Miller was magnificent as the opera diva Maria Callas in Terrence McNally's portrait of the artist late in her career. During a teaching session with young singers, Callas' memory and regret take flight, especially during a pair of 10-minute monologues. With one in each act, they were mesmerizing to watch, both for the stories they told and as examples of consummate stagecraft.
"Monty Python's Spamalot" at Park Playhouse, Albany: Sublime silliness. As directed by veteran Park Playhouse hand Michael LoPorto, the musical adaptation of the film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" was the most laugh-out-loud fun to be had on area stages this summer.
"Southern Comfort" at Barrington Stage Company, Pittsfield, Mass.: The world premiere of the musical this summer was one of those times when, even in the middle of the show, you knew you were seeing the creation of something special. The country-bluegrass musical, adapted from the 2001 documentary film of the same name, about a transgender Georgia man named Robert Eads, was flawed and inconsistent; it still needed work. But the show, from the team of composer Julianne Wick Davis and writer Dan Collins, deserves that work, and a future on American stages. All of a piece and wholly conceived, it also was truly about something, full of heart, deeply affecting and often tuneful.

After 70 years, Sudan soldier missing in Korean War accounted for
by: Cat Keenan
SUDAN, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) – Army Cpl. Marvin D. Actkinson, 18, of Sudan, Texas, was accounted for over 70 years after being reported missing in action during the Korean War. Now found, his remains are expected to return to his home state for burial.
Missing High Plains World War II Marine accounted for over 75 years later
According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), Actkinson's remains were identified in October 2021.
Actkinson was a member of Company B, 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, and reported missing on Dec. 2, 1950, after his unit was attacked near the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. Newspaper clippings from the era offered by the DPAA described Actkinson as a football player and boxer during his time in school, and said his family was notified that he might have been alive and a prisoner.
Although he was reported at the time of his disappearance to be a private, the newspaper clippings showed government sources said then-missing Actkinson would be promoted once found. He was noted by the DPAA's 2021 announcement as a corporal, seemingly fulfilling his promotion posthumously after he was accounted for.
The DPAA said that while Actkinson's remains could not be recovered at the time of the attack on his unit, July 2018 saw 55 boxes purported to contain the remains of American service members turned over from North Korea. The remains arrived at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii on Aug. 1, 2018, and were taken into the DPAA laboratory for identification.
How remains of personnel killed in Pearl Harbor are identified decades later
Actkinson's name is recorded on the American Battle Monument's Commission's Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, along with the others who are still missing from the Korean War. According to the DPAA, a rosette will be placed next to his name to note that he has been accounted for. His profile is also available on the DPAA website.
While a funeral date has not yet been announced, Actkinson is expected to be buried in Colorado City, Texas.

Introduction: Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) in the treatment of primary osteoarthritis of the hip has evolved to a very safe and cost-effective intervention with revision rates below 5% after 10 years. To this day, however, controversy remains on whether or not to cement the acetabular cup. Methods: A comprehensive PubMed search of the English literature for studies published between 2007 and 2018 was performed. Studies comparing the clinical (revision rate, functionality), radiological (wear) or economic (cost) differences between cemented (cemented stem with cemented cup) and hybrid (cemented stem with uncemented cup) prostheses for primary osteoarthritis of the hip were identified as eligible. Results: A total of 1032 studies were identified whereof twelve were included for qualitative synthesis. All studies concerning the risk of revision were based on registry data, covering a total of 365,693 cups. Cemented prostheses had a similar or lower risk of revision compared to hybrid prostheses in every study, but performed slightly worse on functionality and quality of life. While cemented prostheses were the cheapest option, hybrids were the most cost-effective. Discussion: The widespread preference for cementless fixation of the acetabulum cannot be explained by a superior survival of cementless or hybrid models. Irrespective of age, cemented fixation of the acetabulum remains the gold standard to which other techniques should be compared.
Key words: Total hip arthroplasty / Cemented versus hybrid / Revision rate / Functionality / Cost

IF/THEN: Democracy at The Crossroads
Award-Winning Historian Jill Lepore with CHM Senior Curator Dag Spicer
In 1960, newspapers reported that John F. Kennedy's winning presidential campaign had clinched victory with the help of a "secret weapon": a computer that crunched troves of personal data to profile voters, thus allowing Kennedy to better target his political messaging. The effect on the election was overstated but the campaign was the genesis of a now long forgotten consulting company that fused psychology, computing, and statistics into formulas for predicting human behavior.
Founded in 1959 by some of the nation's leading social scientists, the company -- called Simulmatics -- proposed to predict and manipulate future human behavior by running computer programs on IBM mainframe computers of the day.
The company was an odd mix of the professional and the personal: in summers, with their wives and children in tow, company scientists met on Long Island under a geodesic, done where they built their "People Machine," a computer program aimed at providing simulation, newly energized by the arrival of electronic digital computers, for profit. Whether it was buying a dishwasher, casting a vote, or planning an insurgency, Simulatics could simulate it.
Deploying their "People Machine" from New York, Washington, Cambridge, and even Saigon, the scientists of Simulmatics believed they had invented "the A-bomb of the social sciences."
While Simulatics didn't survive the 1970s, its aim of predicting human behavior has never been important to us to think about than now. Are some of our most popular social media tools just a new "People Machine," predicting human emotions and behaviors and then selling that information to third parties?
Listen to the conversation of award-winning historian Jill Lepore with CHM senior curator, Dag Spicer as they explore the story of Simulmatics as a cautionary tale to decode how we got to now in a world of predictive analytics and politics and what it means for the future of freedom and democracy.

Q: Using ng-animate-ref with asynchronous data I have an angular app that uses $resource to load data into the views. I used ngAnimate's ng-animate-ref to transition an image from one view to another. This worked fine when the data was hardcoded into the controller, but when I use $resource or $http, the data takes a little longer to load and therefore there is no identifier in the ng-animate-ref directive to help link the two images together. I figure I need to do either one of two things:

*

*Don't let the new view render until the content has loaded
or

*Ensure the data from the previous load is cached and available instantly

Is this possible to do? I can provide a plunker if it's necessary.


You might not know it as you drive by Fermilab the next couple days, but Google is conducting a first-of-its-kind, hands-on tutorial on quantum computing software — and hoping to solve the longstanding, seemingly intractable problems of particle physics.
If you really want to blow your mind, you can think about it this way: Ideas for quantum teleportation experiments might be surfacing right here in Batavia, IL.
From Sept. 12-14, scientists, engineers and members of industry from around the globe will converge at the Department of Energy's Fermilab to explore quantum computing technologies for high-energy physics.
The hands-on workshop, "Next Steps in Quantum Science for High-Energy Physics," will feature speakers from Google, IBM, and several universities and national laboratories.
Renowned physicist John Preskill of Caltech will anchor the first day with an address on quantum information science. And for the first time in a public setting, Google will conduct a hands-on tutorial on their quantum computing software, giving attendees an opportunity to use it directly and meet face-to-face with company representatives.
Fermilab is a natural host for this first-of-its-kind workshop. As home to groundbreaking discoveries in particle physics and a pioneer in high-performance and supercomputing, Fermilab's expertise at the intersection of these areas is world-class.
And now it is directing some of its considerable expertise to the area of quantum computing, which holds great promise for solving some of nature's toughest problems. Quantum computers may be able to tackle in minutes problems that would take classical computers years to solve.
Google's hands-on tutorials will provide a first taste of this approach. A Google team led by Product Manager Alan Ho will demonstrate the use of two different software packages: Cirq, a quantum computing programming framework that exposes the hardware detail to the programmer, and OpenFermion, a platform for translating problems in quantum chemistry and material science to quantum computers.
The feedback from participants, he added, will be valuable.
"We want to make the computers useful, so we need to hear the best ideas," Ho said.
Topics include quantum simulation of quantum field theories, algorithms for traditional high-energy physics computational problems, quantum teleportation experiments and qubit technologies for quantum sensors.

The Miles' Will Case
Finally one of the wills of Darius Miles has been admitted to probate. The wills presented for probate were dated respectively: April 3, 1878; Dec. 17, 1883; Dec. 26 1883; and January 23, 1884. The court held that the testator was a lunatic and incompetent to make a will at the time of the execution of the last will and admitted to probate the will of Dec. 26, 1883. These estate is sufficient to pay the legacies in full, and pay the claim of any widow the deceased may have left whenever such claim should be established. The following is a true copy of the will probated:
I Darius Miles, of the town of Lysander, in the county of Onondaga....
To Anna Vincent, formerly Anna Keeler, who has lived long in my family, the sum of $1000 in case she survives me; and in case she does not survive me, but dies leaving a child or children who survive me, then, and in that case I order and direct that said sum of $1000 be paid to such surviving child or children....
