What Does Monte Carlo Have to do with Your Retirement?
Monte Carlo, a ward in the Principality of Monaco, sits on the French Riviera. It occupies a mere quarter square mile, and from its perch on the coastal foothills of the Alps, it overlooks the stunning blue of the Mediterranean. The weather is temperate, only occasionally venturing above the 70s or below the 50s.
As such, many clients look at me askance when I bring up Monte Carlo as part of their retirement plan.
But before we get to that, let me bring you back about 20 years so that we can examine how most of the industry approached retirement planning: First, there was a general rule of thumb that said retirement would require 70 percent of pre-retirement income in order to be successful. Then, there would be an assumption made as to the rate of return on assets, and a projection about the resulting size of the asset base based upon the pre-determined retirement age. An adjustment for the rate of return in retirement would be made, and other variables, including the date(s) of death of each client and the rate of inflation. The objective of the plan was simple: to have money left at the 'end' of the plan. Money at the end was success – and running out before was failure.
That all sounds like a straightforward approach to planning for retirement, but only one thing was bothersome: EACH of those assumptions (rate of return, inflation, mortality age) was almost certain to be WRONG. It's impossible to determine with exactitude how long someone will live, what they'll get as a rate of return, and what inflation will be over a period of 20 to 40 years. Even if we assume everything correctly, given an average rate of return, the sequence of those returns can also lead to wide variances in the outcomes.
Given the fact that people were making long-term plans on such faulty assumptions, something had to be done. The solution: Monte Carlo simulation.
Statisticians and researchers routinely use what they call "multivariate analysis" to study things that vary over time. Monte Carlo simulation is one such tool. The name comes from its applicability in determining odds for games of chance. If I have a $1.00 chip and place it on the roulette table, say on the red box, it's hard to predict with any certainty how much money I'll walk away with. It's either going to come out a win or a loss of that dollar. But if I came to the casino with 1,000 $1 chips, and I played the game 1,000 times, I'd be able to predict fairly accurately how much money I'd win (actually, LOSE) over those 1,000 plays.
This comes in really handy in analyzing someone's retirement. Using a Monte Carlo simulator, we can have the software come up with a random rate of return** for year one, another one for year two, and so on over the course of a lifetime. We can then go back to year one and run another simulation for another lifetime. We can repeat these trials thousands or millions of times. Once we're done, we can analyze how many successes we have vs. how many failures occur. With that information, we can come up with a probability of success.
We aren't shooting for a 100 percent probability of success in these long-term models. Actually, we're usually happy with about 70-90 percent probability. As long as we continue to analyze this probability level each year, short-term changes in the market are unlikely to significantly change our expectations for someone's retirement success. Below 70 percent probability can lead to more significant need to change retirement spending levels if things don't go as planned. Above 90 percent is an unreasonably low utilization of retirement assets, and usually leaves a more substantial estate, which isn't the objective of many retirees.
By actually embracing the uncertainty around so many of these retirement planning variables, we can much more reliably plan for long-term goals like retirement. Done well, there might be enough to actually include a nice vacation in the south of France in the plan!
** These numbers aren't completely random. They're influenced by the variability in returns of specific types of investments. For example, someone holding a bank account won't see big swings in their returns, but someone owning a stock may realize huge differences year over year.

Sunita Prasad Speaks
Countless fans have been awaiting the return of Twin Peaks over the past two and a half decades, but Michelle Levy is the only one who has spent years actively Searching for Agent Cooper. And she has found him -in flashes. At moments when his turns of phrase seem to resonate most, such as Occupy Wall Street, or in places so strangely beautiful as the Gowanus Canal or Coney Island, she has glimpsed him. But only for a flickering moment. Just long enough to snap a photograph, and he's gone.
I think a lot of us have wondered idly after an episode what we might say over a cup of coffee and a slice of pie with Agent Dale Cooper. But Michelle Levy is the person who actually has something urgent to say to him upon his return. Something she has been preparing to say through years of elegant and transporting performance art. Something only she has been able to sense all these years. Something that I suspect you will find very soon on a page in your writers' room and recognize immediately as the words you've been searching for. You may wonder: whose words are these? Who is meant to deliver them to Cooper on Twin Peaks? Michelle Levy. That's who.

The Organization of Security Students is a scholarly association with the primary goal of enriching the student's understanding of both national and international security studies. We seek to increase awareness of current security issues among the multi-disciplines included in the growing field of Homeland Security. In order to preserve this goal we actively participate in discussions and invite speakers to supplement course curriculum in increasing the student's awareness of emerging and past security topics and concerns.
Homeland Security majors have a unique opportunity to travel with instructors to Washington D.C. and New York City. In DC, they visit the Congress, White House, FBI, DHS, DEA, ATF, DIA, NSA, Georgetown University and more. In New York they visit multiple counterterrorism centers, the UN, NYPD, FDNY, DHS, Coast Guard, 9/11 Memorial and Columbia University.
Campbell University Homeland Security Students recently completed a special study abroad program in Central and Eastern Europe. Students visited sites dealing with WWII, the Cold War, and Organized Crime in Berlin, Germany; Warsaw and Krakow, Poland; and Prague, Czech Republic. A similar study abroad trip took place in Summer 2018, which included Gdansk, Poland and Vilinius, Lithuania.
Campbell University Homeland Security majors have tremendous opportunities. They travel to places like NC Justice Academy, SBI, Ft Bragg, the North Carolina Emergency Management Operation Center and more. Homeland Security experts speak to students on campus. Students have opportunities to present at professional conferences, attend Model UN events, and publish original work via online journals.

A new Centri-SifterTM centrifugal sifter with integral bag dump station and dust collector removes bag scraps and other oversize contaminants from manually dumped bulk materials while protecting the operator and plant environment against dust contamination.
Configured for installation on a mezzanine, the system gravity-discharges into process equipment, and affords a sufficiently low deck height for operators to dump sacks and other containers.
Ambient air and dust from dumping activities is drawn onto the exterior of two cartridge filters that derive vacuum from a top-mounted exhaust fan. Dust accumulated on the filter's exterior surfaces is dislodged by overcoming continuous negative pressure within the cartridge filters, with positive pressure introduced in short blasts on a timed cycle by pulse jet nozzles. Dislodged material falls into the screener while instant resumption of negative pressure collects any dust generated by the filter cleansing operation.
Centrifugal action created by rotating helical paddles accelerates the rate at which on-size particles pass through a horizontal screen cylinder. Oversize material is propelled through the downstream end of the screen cylinder to a discharge spout.
The Bag Dump Screener is constructed of stainless steel and finished to industrial, food, dairy and pharmaceutical standards.

Music and Lyrics: Hugh Grant tries to be endearing again
Hugh Grant earned his stardom in such 1990s and early 2000s films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral and Bridget Jones's Diary, but much of his act depended on youthful charm, so now in his later 40s his acting has become a mass of winsome tics. His self-deprecating smile, Paul McCartney crinkly eyes, and British stutter has begun to parody itself, and he hasn't helped matters any by choosing rusty romantic comedy vehicles like Music and Lyrics where he plays a washed up eighties has-been pop star named Alex Fletcher who sings songs like "Pop Goes My Heart." In a film that constantly takes pains to remind the viewer that he is a has-been, Grant seems perilously close to embodying the joke as he wiggles his rear end on stage for drooling menopausal women.
Insofar as there is one, the story of Music and Lyrics concerns Fletcher's attempt to regain his former fame by writing a pop song for a hot young singer, Cora Corman (Haley Bennett), who likes to writhe around on stage like Shakira. Fletcher can write melodies, but he needs a lyricist, and it just so happens that his plant-watering servant Sophie (Drew Barrymore) has a knack for rhyming as she waters.
I spent much of the movie mystified as to why Drew decided to be in this lame flick. She already embarrassed herself by starring opposite Adam Sandler in 50 First Dates in 2004, so perhaps Hugh Grant looked good in comparison, but there's still the basic problem that her role has very little substance. In his New York City apartment, Alex and Sophie develop a momentary rapport as they write a song called "A Way Back into Love." Surprise (!) Cora likes the song and chooses it for her next mega-selling cd, but then Sophie turns out to have difficulties with her self-worth. When she was trying to make it as a fictional writer, her mentor and former lover Sloan Coates (Campbell Scott) wrote a best-seller that uses her identity without her permission. In the past, Sloan has called her a "vacant, empty, imitation of a writer," which I thought was accurate, but Sophie cannot bring herself to curse the guy out, so Alex tries to help her confront him in a restaurant. Alex and Sloan get into a fight to the point where Alex has his head shoved into a dinner roll, but, as he says, it was a good thing that it wasn't bread sticks, or they would've poked his eye out.
So, will Sophie find her self-esteem? Will Alex find his mojo again in the crass world of the contemporary music business? Would you like to watch Hugh Grant rotate his pelvis multiple times while singing fake pop songs in front of swooning middle-aged American women at an amusement park? Grant has the occasional witty line, such as his description of his performance before a fat farm as a "dietetic Altamont," but the film meanders from plot point to plot point without a whole lot of discernable chemistry between its leads, yet with much cheesy music. Aside from blond-bombshell Cora, who doesn't mind being a commodity, most everyone in this film suffers from a lack of self-esteem brought on from age, over-eating, or writer-anxiety issues. Perhaps love and a concert performance of a feel-good song will save them all in the end. I think not.

WWII Dambusters Bomb Discovered at Beach
It is something that can only happen in Europe: a father and his son have a day at the beach and discover a bomb.
James Crouch was with his five-year-old son Freddie in Reculver, near Minnis Bay, Kent when they discovered a World War II-era Dambuster bouncing "bomb."
Code-named Upkeep, the prototype barrel-shaped Vickers type 464 bomb was likely dropped out of a Royal Air Force (RAF) Lancaster plane in the weeks prior to nighttime raids into Nazi Germany on May 16 and 17, 1943.
A German official stands next to an unexploded, British Upkeep bouncing bomb. The weapon was recovered from the wreckage of Avro Lancaster ED927/G 'AJ-E', piloted by Flt Lt Barlow. The aircraft crashed at 2350 hours on 16 May 1943 after striking power lines 5km east of Rees, Germany. All on board were killed.
During the raids, the Mohne and Eder Dams were attacked and destroyed by mines dropped from the modified Lancasters of No. 617 Squadron. The Sorpe Dam was also attacked by two aircraft and damaged, while a fourth dam, the Ennepe, was attacked by one aircraft, but sustained no damage.
The official numbers included 1,600 people killed by floodwaters, and 8 of the 19 aircraft dispatched did not return, with a loss of 53 men killed and 3 taken prisoner.
The Möhne dam breached by Upkeep bombs
During top-secret test runs in locations across Great Britain, the RAF dropped 4.4-ton "bombs" filled with concrete, such as the one that the Crouches found, in places including Wales, the Lake District, and Kent. Crouch and his son said they went down to the beach next to Reculver at 5 PM drive to do some crabbing when they discovered the cylindrical shape among the small rocks.
"It was mechanical and had obviously been there a long time because there were barnacles on it. We looked at it and thought it could be a bomb. We went to speak to the Herne Bay Coastguard and the person we spoke to said he'd call someone to find out what it was. By the time we left it had been covered up by the tide; so who knows what's going to happen to it."

Crouch admits that he is not exactly a bomb expert, but to him, it looked like a bomb. Earlier that year he had gone to a Dambusters exhibition at Herne Bay Museum, which had a replica on display. The bomb was likely dropped five hundred meters (1,640 feet) off the Kent coast, as RAF pilots honed their skills before launching the "Operation Chastise" attack on German dams in the Ruhr Valley.

Dr Hugh Hunt, a Dambusters expert and a Reader in Engineering Dynamics and Vibration at the University of Cambridge, called the recovery of the bomb a good piece of British war history.
The RAF did a lot of testing around the country with concrete-filled bombs because they could not use explosives. They tested primarily at night in order to maintain secrecy, and did their best to recover every bomb the next day. The general idea was to test whether the bombs would bounce, and attempt to bounce them toward the coast to ensure that they were easy to recover.
Barnes Wallis and others watch a practice Upkeep bomb strike the shoreline at Reculver, Kent.
Many of these prototype bombs can be found in the Imperial War Museum, often with their steel casings still wrapped around the outside. The bomb discovered by the Crouches, however, had lost its steel to rust over the years, leaving only the concrete.
A similar prototype Dambusters bomb also rests outside the Petwood Hotel in Lincolnshire, which had once been home to the RAF 617 'Dambusters' Squadron.

Read another story from us: WWII Bomb Disposal Hero – Painting Inspires New Book
When contacted about the incident, Her Majesty's Coastguard stated that they were investigating reports of ordnance found at Reculver, Herne Bay. The ordnance was submerged under the water at the time, but a Coastguard Rescue Team would be sent to investigate at the next low tide, which was likely to occur around 5 PM.


Last summer, as most of you know, we carried water around in buckets to water the plants. A few times each summer, we got help from a dozen 5-8 year olds.
One hot August day, we gave each of the kids a yogurt container, showed them where the drip line was and then asked them to scoop from the bucket and water the parched fruit trees.
One of the younger students filled her yogurt tub, wandered out to the middle of the orchard, and dumped her water on a dandelion.
I made no response, either verbally or physically. It took me a minute to realize that, to her, that plant needed water and watering plants was her mission.
Well, we have come a long way since then and we are close to having our gravity fed drip irrigation system in place, the final component of our water conservation project. We will be using and evaluating three different drip systems. Congratulations to Luke and Dylan for their fine brochure describing the entire water conservation project.
Volunteers have been researching everything from bolt strength to bending bamboo to head pressure for a given tank height. Perhaps the most physically challenging task to date has been driving 10-foot steel U posts with a 40-pound manual driver.
Most everything has been a new learning experience. We had some money in our budget to hire consultants but we were not able to find anyone experienced. Surely, there is another garden nearby where they are growing food with just rainwater and without any electricity?
The whole system should be up and watering by the time the dry season is upon us. Our plan is to have an open house in early August.
And, we are excited that the kids are coming back this summer to help water. Will they remember where the drip line is?

Our newest cistern is in place, poised to capture 1,000 gallons of water every winter. A volunteer found it used on Craig's List and donated it to FECO.
On the last day of 2017, nine volunteers worked 2.5 hours to set a bamboo structure in place and to build and attach a 6′ x 10′ roof over the bamboo.
The bamboo structure had been preassembled by Jeff. He called it advanced fort building. We had previously cut the bamboo from the yard of Judy Scheinuk, a member of the Seattle Tree Fruit Society. She was delighted to have her bamboo thinned.
The roof is located to the side of the cistern and serves a dual purpose; it not only captures water for the cistern but also keeps organic materials (waiting to be composted) dry so microbial decomposition is minimized.
By early summer, we should have all three cisterns full, even though the new cistern missed the fall rain. Nancy did some number crunching, with the knowledge that we catch more rain each winter than can fit the in two older cisterns. She figures we can play catch-up by stealing 500 gallons from the two older cisterns and transfering that water now to the new one.
But, how to transfer the water? Stay tuned for Step 2 – installation of our new treadle pump.
FECO is the recent recipient of a third City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods Matching Grant, related to water conservation and experimental watering methods. We need to volunteers to work 300 hours and the City will match with $10,000 toward our expenses.
We have three goals for the water conservation grant: 1) to use less or no City water, 2) to improve our system so we spend less time watering, and 3) make watering an easier task physically.

The best dental staff you could ever ask for. Very friendly and professional.
Everything I said in the review title applies to this business and staff.
I visited Ball Dentistry East on an emergency basis. They were able to get me in right away. Dr. Craig Ball was prompt, professional, and frankly discussed all of my treatment options.
Posted On: 05/27/2015 ★★★★★ As always everyone was very courteous. They treat you as a member of their family. It was a pleasant experience and believe me that says a lot. If you are looking or a new dentist give them a try!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Credit also to the front door staff, the girls are certainly the core to the practice! Positive and caring attitudes are certainly important and welcomed. Docs and support great as well!
Everyone. From the start to end of appt. we're very curteous and friendly. I don't even going back next week for a filling. They treat you like you are part of their family !!!!
The younger Dr. Ball is a chip off the ole block. For those who dont get it. He has many of his father's ( Dr. Ball) professional qualities. He practices honest and progressive denistry. Dr. Ball listens as well as he talks to me and I feel good being his patient. I have been his patient for less than a year; two cleanings and a filling, no pain and excellent service.
Posted On: 05/07/2015 ★★★★★ Dr. Weathers did an amazing job with my son! He was so patient and really put him at ease. I have always been happy with my experience at this office.
Posted On: 04/22/2015 ★★★★★ Great Job, thanks!
As usual, I didn't have to wait long before my appointment. I was treated well and my cleaning was done as quickly and completely as it could.
Posted On: 04/21/2015 ★★★★★ John's tooth was repaired a week ago. The repair came off the next day. But we went back today, they repaired it again saying it just didn't get a good bond. We are very pleased with the results. And there was no additional charges. i would recommend the staff to anyone.
Posted On: 04/21/2015 ★★★★★ Come on in!
I appreciate the familial atmosphere and familiarity the technicians and doctors have with the patients. Services are provided in a timely manner and the level of service exceeds expectations. Treatment plans are reviewed and mutually agreed upon without pressure. For as long as I am a resident in Indianapolis, I will come here for my dental needs.
Posted On: 04/20/2015 ★★★★★ Prompt, friendly service is what I've come to expect at Ball Dentistry. I've been going for over 20 years.
Posted On: 04/20/2015 ★★★★★ Everything went great.
I love coming to Dr. Balls office. The staff is so friendly and welcomes you with open arms. My hygenist is super and Dr. Ball is the Best!!.
Posted On: 04/06/2015 ★★★★★ efficient and painless!! cheerful atmosphere!!!
Posted On: 04/06/2015 ★★★★★ Love my hygenist today!
Karen was awesome. She had a gentle touch and this is rare I think! It was actually not a murderously painful experience to get my teeth cleaning done, in fact, it was fast and didn't hurt!! Thank you!
Well, going to the dentist is never fun (except for cleanings). Dr. Ball is very personable and lighthearted, and he and his staff are quite concerned about patient comfort. The work gets done quickly and properly. And he always makes sure the fillings are aesthetically pleasing! Also, he won't overwhelm you with technical jargon. He's good at understanding what you mean if you ask if he used white stuff in the fillings or tell him the levels feel off and could he use the black paper.
Posted On: 03/26/2015 ★★★★★ Good work!
From reception, to cleaning, to check-up, to checking out, each person was professional, efficient. and friendly.
I had not been to a dentist in over 6 years and was very nervous. I initially went to the 96th street office and was so nervous, I cried. The staff was wonderful and made me feel welcome I have since started going to your 10th street office, and again, the entire staff welcomes me as if I have been a good friend. Fantastic customer service, wonderful clinicians. I have recommended several folks to your office.
Posted On: 02/26/2015 ★★★★★ Great service, excellent dental care.
Posted On: 02/18/2015 ★★★★★ Have been a patient of Dr. Ball and famiily for years. including Dr. Cecil Ball.
I am always greeted warmly. Since I am a long-time patient, almost all of the staff know me upon sight and/or by name. Almost feel like part of a 'family'. Even the filling which happened this morning was not unpleasant - surprise! I have recommended this dentistry to friends of mine who moved here from Florida about 4 or 5 years ago. They have also been impressed with the services provided. The parking situation has never been a problem before. This morning, all the spaces in the parking lot just west of the building were taken plus the street parking just east and south of the building were occupied. Was able to find a parking space on the street about 1/2 block west of the dentist's office. Thank you for being so kind and welcoming.
I went to the facility looking for a new dentist closer to home instead of having to drive up to 146th & Hazeldell Road because I had a couple of teeth that had problems. I stopped in, got an appointment, went today and am very satisfied. What I thought would end up being 2 teeth pulled ended up being 1 tooth pulled & 1 filled. Great service and Dr. Ball is kind caring dentist and a hoot! Highly recommend!
Posted On: 02/01/2015 ★★★★★ You can never say that you had a great time at the dentist office but mine was actually enjoyable. Dr. Craig Ball did a phenomenal job and I enjoyed the conversation of he and his staff. Not too bad for getting a tooth pulled. I'll be back in a couple of months to have my teeth cleaned. Good job. I travel all of the way from Avon to the East 10th st. location and I am fine with that.
Got me in same day. Quick, kind service. We really like Dr. Ball.

New jobs figures show North East's economic recovery from Covid is 'stuttering'
The North East's economic recovery from Covid is failing, with more people falling out of the jobs market, says the region's leading business organisation.
By Kevin Clark
The latest figures show employment in the North East stands at 1,186,000, a rise of 2,300 (0.2%) over the quarter but a fall of 20,000 (1.7%) over the year. The North East employment rate stands at 70.2%, compared to 75.5% nationally.
North East unemployment stands at 67,000, a fall of 4,800 (6.7%) over the quarter and 6,800 (9.2%) over the year. The unemployment rate is 5.4%, compared to a national rate of 3.8%.
The number of people classed as economically inactive in the region is 417,000, an increase of 10,700 (2.6%) on the quarter and 36,000 (9.3%) on the year. The North East economic inactivity rate stands at 25.7%, while the national rate is 21.4%.

The region's seasonally adjusted unemployed benefit claimant count stands at 78,500, a fall of 2,200 (2.7%) over the month and 38,800 over the year (33.1%).
The claimant count rate for the North East is 5.6%.
North East England Chamber of Commerce knowledge development manager Arlen Pettitt said: "These jobs numbers tell their own story, especially when put alongside Monday's GDP figure showing just 0.1% growth in February.
"The headline rate of unemployment may have fallen, however, this isn't the result of more people in work but rather more people drifting out of the labour market entirely, as seen in the rising economic inactivity figure.
"What we have is an economic recovery which is stuttering. Just as the cost of living is starting to bite for individuals, so too is the cost of doing business for our region's employers. Our latest economic survey told us costs are the biggest worry for businesses, with nine in ten North East firms citing inflation as a concern and the same number saying energy prices.
"The Chancellor's Spring Statement failed to address those concerns. It's been two almost impossibly difficult years, and with more uncertainty ahead of us we need the Government to face up to reality and take some tangible steps to support business recovery."

MADRID | Sean Duffy | ECB tightens the squeeze on Syriza government ahead of today´s proposals from the Greek Goverment for a loan extension.
MADRID | The Corner | Markets seem optimistic about the deal between Greece and its creditors (a government spokesman said they aim to reach a compromise today), although analysts are still wondering whether there have been any advances in the negotiation. "At least the ECB decided to a slight increase in emergency funding (ELA) for Greek banks on Wednesday," a Barclays' Alberto Vigil said. "But we still don't know which reforms the Greeks have agreed on." The ECB had already raised the ELA available to Greek banks by 5 billion euros to about 65 billion seven days ago.
BRUSSELS | By Alexandre Mato | Greek authorities again rejected a Eurogroup statement regarding the extension of its bailout programme. Brussels wants a continuation of the second bailout, but the Syriza goverment wants a 4-month bridge with new rules to be applied. The gulf between both sides has emerged as bigger than initially thought.
Madrid| JP Marin-Arrese| There is little chance that the Eurogroup will broker a way out of the Greek conundrum later today. As time runs out in the nail-biting tussle between Greece and its creditors, investors may start to lose their nerve. Even if they gauge that a potential Grexit would bring about limited damage for other partners, no one can exclude the possibility of turmoil erupting in the markets.
ATHENS | By Yiannis Mouzakis via MacroPolis | It's less than three weeks since the Greek government was elected and its Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has just taken part in his first Eurogroup – an experience that some of his predecessors have described as traumatic. Yet, a surprisingly large number of people appear convinced that Greece is heading for a showdown with the eurozone and may be counting its last weeks in the single currency.
MADRID| Sean Duffy | Nobody knows how the Greece debt negotiations will turn out, but aren´t we all getting a little tired of the saga?
MADRID | Sean Duffy | The sale of 49% of Spanish airport group will be in focus from 12 onwards today.

Q: Creating a ternary condition in c# I have the below datatable code in c# , which I want to make it as a ternary operator condition.
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(row[2].ToString()))
                            {
                                if (row[2].ToString().Length >= 3)
                                {
                                    row[2] = row[2].ToString().Substring(0, 3).ToUpper();
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                    row[2] = row[2].ToString().ToUpper();
                                }
                            }

How to achieve this ?

A:
How to achieve this ?

just copy your predicate, true expression, and false expression to the ternary form:
row[2] = {predicate} ? {true expression} : {false expression}

which gives:
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(row[2].ToString()))
{
    row[2] = row[2].ToString().Length >= 3
           ? row[2].ToString().Substring(0, 3).ToUpper();
           : row[2].ToString().ToUpper();
}

you could simplify it a bit by factoring out the common expression:
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(row[2].ToString()))
{
    row2 = row[2].ToString().ToUpper();
    row[2] = row2.Length >= 3
           ? row2.Substring(0, 3);
           : row2;
}

you could use a ternary operator for the last if and just set row[2] to itself if the condition doesn't match, but it's not a functional improvement and is harder to read IMHO.

A: Ternary operator C#

The conditional operator ?:, also known as the ternary conditional
  operator, evaluates a Boolean expression and returns the result of one
  of the two expressions, depending on whether the Boolean expression
  evaluates to true or false.
The syntax for the conditional operator is as follows:
C#
condition ? consequent : alternative

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(row[2].ToString()))

On behalf of Coughlin & Gerhart, LLP posted in Medical Malpractice on Friday, January 29, 2016.
Medical negligence in New York can unfortunately cause a person to suffer severe injuries or even lose his or her life. One woman in another state recently said medical malpractice on the part of three doctors caused her father's death. She has therefore filed a suit against a hospital and the three doctors.
The woman said her father was placed in the hospital since he was suffering from respiratory distress. While at the hospital, he ended up developing pressure ulcers. The ulcers reportedly became infected and caused sepsis syndrome.
According to the suit, the hospital and three doctors did not properly monitor the man's skin condition. They also are accused of not using air mattresses to prevent the formation of ulcers and not keeping the man's skin dry and clean. The woman said the man ended up dying as a result.
In her lawsuit alleging medical malpractice, the woman is seeking more than $50,000 in damages. If medical professionals in New York do not exercise a reasonable degree of care in treating patients and the patients end up dying, the patients' surviving loved ones have the right to file lawsuits for compensatory damages. They might also seek punitive damages, which may be awarded in cases of egregious fault. Liability needs to be established in a manner that pleases the civil court hearing the case before monetary damages will be awarded. Financial restitution in a successfully fought case may help to cover burial costs, the loss of support and other expenses tied to the document incident of medical malpractice.

Today I'm sharing what I discovered about the GDPR for bloggers. However, these are my personal interpretations. You should also do your research and arrive at your conclusions. Please, don't take my opinions as the guideline to make your own decisions.
Even if you are a blogger with no newsletter, your blog might be using cookies. And because of that, you should take a look at the GDPR. Although most of it will be in connection with lists and newsletters, and what type and how you can gather data, having none doesn't mean that you aren't using any data at all. Google Analytics and Jetpack are using cookies. So, if you track data to know how good your blog is doing, you need to keep reading.
If you have a newsletter, start forgetting the auto-opt-in. If your comments have an option that says "subscribe to Newsletter," and most of the times it's already checked out. So, many people forget to check it, so they're not subscribing to the newsletter. With the GDPR this is unlawful since this law requires explicit consent.
It's also a good idea to tell about everything about your newsletter. In my case, the general newsletter follows what the blog does. If I want to do something else, then I'll need to create a new list and ask for explicit consent all over again. Make it clear that users can unsubscribe at any moment, or if they're unsure of how to do so, they can contact you, and you'll help them to unsubscribe. MailChimp is pretty straightforward in that matter.
When you do a giveaway, usually the user is entering into it with you and not with the brand. That's why you cannot share their data with the brand. If the brand wants their data, they have to give explicit consent to the brand and not to you.
Don't move data from one list to another. Say that you have a general newsletter like me. Say that you want to do something else that's not included in the general newsletter. Then you should create a new list. However, you can't just move all the contacts from the general newsletter to the new one. You need explicit consent from those contacts! So, the best you can do is to create a brand new list from zero.
If you rebrand your blog, make it clear to your existing lists. Even if the GDPR doesn't specify this, it's a good idea to use a transparency policy on the things you do and why. Otherwise, you will have many problems in the future.
And then, we have to talk about comments. Believe it or not, you gather specific data through comments. Depending on what service you use for comments, you're collecting some sort of data. So, it's also a good idea to specify what you're using for comments, and how users can erase those comments. If they have no means to do so on their own, please provide a way for them to do so.
The GDPR is all about privacy rights. It means that people have the right to access, modify and erase their data. And that includes comments. If someone commented on your blog, and now they want to delete that comment, they need to have a way to do so. Provide a contact form or an email where they can contact you. Remember to ask them the link where you can find their comments; otherwise, it's going to be a nightmare to comply with the law.
Users have the right to be forgotten, so, you need to provide the means for them to quickly do so. Even if you have no newsletter or you gather no info, but if you do allow comments, consider the ways on how your audience can be forgotten entirely from your site.
Can your audience comment on your blog? What comment platform do you use? Does your audience automatically subscribe to a list when they comment on your blog?
Do you use affiliate links? Do you do giveaways on your blog? What platform do you use to make those giveaways?
If you have a newsletter, is it clear how your users can easily unsubscribe from it?
Note: These are my personal interpretations and as such should be used as opinon only and not relied upon. You should also do your research and arrive at your conclusions. Please, don't take my opinions as the guideline to make your own decisions about how to apply the GDPR.

FARMINGDALE SCHOOL DISTRICT LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE
The Farmingdale School District is pleased to announce that after a year of planning, designing, creating new content, and migrating existing material, the new district website has launched!
In 2018, when Superintendent Paul Defendini took over the district, he promised transparency and multiple pathways of communication. "Our newly designed website is just one example of how we are making information accessible to all members of the Farmingdale community," said Superintendent Defendini. "We hope that everyone finds it to be a valuable resource for obtaining information about our school district."
"The new website was a team effort," said Assistant Superintendent for Innovation and Organizational Development Dr. William Brennan, who oversaw the whole process. "We had to pull multiple years of information from six schools and categorize it in an efficient way. We made sure the new site would be easy to navigate and provide users with a friendly viewing experience."
The rebranded site is story-focused and contains more imagery. Along with an updated and colorful new look, the home page features large photographs that showcase student and faculty highlights. The site is categorized with six major topics: District, Board of Education, Schools, Academics, Resources, and Calendars. Clicking on any of these links across the top of the site will allow visitors to access more detailed sub-pages.
The simplified design allows visitors to find information quickly, such as important announcements or the latest school news. A series of quick links are featured in the middle of the home page, providing access to budget information, food services, district newsletters, the Farmingdale Public Schools Code of Conduct, and the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Closer to the bottom is a roster of upcoming events, followed by links to the district's six key initiatives.
The newly unveiled website is also "mobile responsive," meaning the layout adapts to different devices and multiple web browsers. It was designed to fulfill web accessibility requirements under the American Disabilities Act, and enables individuals with vision, hearing, and physical disabilities to have access. Additionally, with the help of Google Translate, users are able to select another language in which to navigate the site.
The Farmingdale School District website averages about 200K visits per month. Administrators are hoping that the new design and content will increase visitor engagement as they look for the information they need. The website address remains www.farmingdaleschools.org.

Listener's Corner – Sous le feuillage sombre
In this issue of Accord, we're going to dive into the French mélodie "Sous le feuillage sombre" from the 1862 operetta Lalla-Roukh, by composer Félicien-César David. Click on the video below to listen to soprano Tharanga Goonetilleke's beautiful performance with Chiragh, at SASO's inaugural concert in April 2019.
Félicien David was born in 1810 in southeastern France. His father began to train him in music from a young age; however, the boy was orphaned by the age of 6. His pleasing voice and musical skills got him a role as a choirboy in a church, and here he nurtured his gifts, until the age of 15. He then received a scholarship to study literature at a Jesuit college, but he would abandon this three years into the degree to pursue a career in music. His talents were recognised and he was quite a celebrated composer during his life, though today his music is relatively unknown and infrequently performed. He wrote a number of operas, setting them in far off lands, such as Lalla-Roukh in Kashmir and Samarkand, and La perle du Brésil in Brazil.
Lalla-Roukh is an operetta, or an opera comique in two acts. It is named for its principal protagonist, whose name means "tulip-cheeked". Lalla-Roukh is a Mughal princess, betrothed to King Nourreddin of Samarkand. In the aria "Sous le feuillage sombre", Lalla-Roukh finds herself falling in love with the mysterious minstrel who sings by her window each evening. She is torn between this overwhelming emotion and her duty to marry a King from a faraway land. All's well that ends well – it is ultimately discovered that the singer was none other than King Nourreddin in disguise, wanting to win Lalla-Roukh's heart on his own merit.
The inspiration for this opera was the poem of the same name – Lalla-Rookh – that was, interestingly enough, published by the Irish poet Thomas Moore in 1817. Moore's writings went on to inspire a number of literary texts based on Kashmir, and much of the perception of Kashmir of the time was influenced by the image he created with his words. This poem and opera hold a special place in the heart of Ambassador Rao, as she was involved in its revival in 2013, after decades of not being performed. In the article "Imagined Journeys to Cashmere: Lalla Rookh and Her Story" Ambassador Rao has written about Moore's poetry and vision of Kashmir, and the fascination Moore and his contemporaries held for all things Eastern. Featured above are 19th-century sketches by Jules Marre, of the costumes of Lalla-Roukh and Nourreddin, disguised as a poet and in his royal attire.
The 2013 revival by Washington D.C. based Opera Lafayette featured costumes, jewellery and dances from India. The dance troupe Kalanidhi Dance performed a Kuchipudi dance as part of one of the acts.
"Sous le feuillage sombre" features beautifully shaped melodies and triplet rhythms in the 3/4 time signature that contribute to the feeling of restlessness, and being unsettled. Below the video, you can find the text in French, along with the English translation.
Sous le feuillage sombre Dans le silence et l'ombre It venait chaque soir! Sous notre ciel sans voiles Aux clartes des étoiles Mes yeux ont pu le voir!
O souvenir que j'aime Rêves de mes beaux jours Hélas! Malgre moi même Je vous fuis pour toujours.
Dans mon palais captive Immobile, attentive Et le coeur soucieux Je croix entendre encore Sa voix doux et sonore Ses chants mélodieux."
"Under the dark foliage In the silence and shadow He came every evening! Under our clear sky By the light of the stars My eyes could see him!
O memory that I love Dreams of my beautiful days Alas! Despite myself I flee from you forever.
In my palace, captive Motionless, alert And anxious at heart I think I still hear His sweet and sonorous voice His melodious songs.

Virtually Damaged : Shepard Fairey in New York to Launch VR/AR Exhibition App
October 17, 2018 Artists, Interview
"This is the first time that it is been done in alignment with what I'm truly trying to do as an artist," Shepard Fairey says about this new venture into virtual/augmented reality being unveiled this week in New York, and on a phone near you.

A stunning realization of the experience that a visitor would have had at his "Damaged" exhibition a year ago in his hometown of Los Angeles, the freshly released app is the product of millions of incremental images taken in 360 degrees that enable you to tour the show – even though it was dismantled a while ago.
"It was by far my biggest exhibition – bigger than "May Day" at Deitch Projects, bigger than the project I did in Dumbo and in New York with Jonathan Levine," Fairey says of the exhaustive solo show of 230 pieces that opened to 21,000 people who had waited in 5-block long lines to get into the industrial warehouse. The new app designed by VRt Ventures captures each of those pieces in high definition of course, along with the more environmental experiential elements that the exhibition featured in the multi-faceted real life show.

"I had the newsstand, billboard, murals, sculptures, the printing press, and the whole print studio," Shepard says, "That was really probably the greatest thing about that space was that it was this hybrid – a street gallery feeling because it was this kind of industrial warehouse – and we built these white walls as well. It had all the corrugated metal and you could see all these beams and we set up this print shop in there so I feel like it really balanced the best of both worlds in terms of the presentation of the work."
Last night in a Manhattan popup pre-opening show on the Bowery Mr. Fairey and his wife Amanda made the rounds with guests in goggles to tour the exhibition where it exists now – as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). Billed as a "VR/AR immersive experience", the open bar and crunchy hip-hop/punk medley pumping loudly across the speakers may have impaired our abilities to pan and click inside the virtual world frankly. But we could easily see how a quieter home environment, or even a subway ride, would make it easier to listen to Fairey's narrated portions and to appreciate the navigation around the space. So we downloaded the app for phone exploration later.

"The accessibility of the art is so much more in your hands and really, truly it is like being in the space," says Ms. Fairey as she compares the new virtual experience to the original. "It was a giant warehouse and an amazing exhibition of his work – It's like you are in it, I mean. Oh my god. It revives the moment for us."
As an activist on the street, and later in galleries and museums, Fairey has always communicated clearly and in detail about the inspirational factors and contextual circumstances that are foundational to his work – whether in canvasses for private homes or prints for t-shirts or in the many stickers, stencils and hurried wheat pastes he's left on walls in the middle of the night. So it's no surprise that the works in the virtual "Damaged" are augmented with his voice describing the works and what he was thinking about when making them.

He imagines what it would be like for him to experience this with other artists as well.
"For me to hear Warhol giving a tour through the Factory – or any number of artists – explaining first hand rather than learning about the show through all of these people who may or may not be credible to be saying what they are saying," he remarks. "When I think about how valuable it would've been for me; I like to hear things from the artist if it is possible. I did 100 minutes of narration on this. I usually write about all of the pieces that I create, about what's happening in current events that are relevant to the work as well as the general principles of the work. So the VRt team went through all of the pieces in the show and found additional text to supplement my audio narration."
BSA: So do you think that this experience with this app and the way that people experience the exhibition when they cannot be there physically will be a good tool, not just for you but for a lot of artists to spread their message?
Shepard Fairey: Yeah I definitely do. Of course I think it's always most important for people if they came to see the work in person. But when you think about the high percentage of people that basically are sort of scrolling through a slideshow of static images and that's the best they're going to get, this technology is really important for the future of art. Not just for artists but for museums that spend a huge amounts of money on an exhibition and it comes down after a finite amount of time, you can see this being more important especially as the technology improves.
To capture "Damaged", the exhibit was scanned with lasers–generating an exact replica of the exhibit.
These guys from VRt, you know they spent a lot of money to be ahead of the curve on this. Very used the highest technology to laser-map the entire space. You can go up to the pieces and see the textures. You can walk around the printing press. It's really impressive. As this technology comes down in price it is going to democratize all kinds of experiences even more so I'm glad that maybe I can provide a little example a case study of how beautiful this technology is.

#8 Wish: BSA Reader Stan Sudol; 12 Wishes for 2012
December 27, 2011 Artists
For twelve days we're presenting twelve wishes for 2012 as told by an alternating roster of artists and BSA readers, in no particular order. Together, they are a tiny snapshot of the people who are part of the street art scene around the world today. Individually, each adds their personal expression of hope for tomorrow.
Today's wish comes from a BSA reader named Stan Sudol, our 2nd Place Winner in the 2011 BSA Holiday Giveaway. Along with an original photograph of the this mural in Miami by his friend, Street Artist Joe Iurato, Stan sends this encouragement to artists everywhere.
"I wish that all my friends who strive everyday to create and live truly art-filled lives can understand completely the immense respect, awe and love I have for their determination and resilience in the face of a world that regards art as a secondary occupation…and the fact they still get inspired to create after back-breaking, soul crushing and demoralizing day jobs…I wish they wake up and realize people still give a sh*t about what they do."

Fogler Library has put together video tutorials for many types of searches and recommendations for how to use the library's resources. Visit this YouTube playlist to view them!
How do I know what type of material to look for?
So you're starting your research and aren't sure what you're looking for. What you will look for depends on what type of research you're doing. Most students will want to look for both scholarly articles and books, as each will cover the topic differently. Some subjects have more material in journal articles, and others rely more on traditional books. Fogler Library also provides a wide range of materials, including e-books, music recordings, maps, government documents, microforms, data sets, and primary sources. To see some recommendations for which sources to search for your subject, take a look at your subject guide.
You will probably find that the most recent material is available in the format that is published the most quickly - current events will be found in newspapers, scientific research from the past several years will be in journal articles, and more historical or in-depth analysis may be in books.
If you've started your search and are having trouble finding the information you need, ask a librarian for assistance.
Great! That's a good place to start looking for sources. Check out our tutorials for using OneSearch.
If you're looking specifically for articles or books, we recommend you take a look at our pages on Finding Articles and Finding Books, as those will be more comprehensive for you.
My professor wants me to find scholarly / peer-reviewed articles. What does that mean?
Scholarly articles are written by scholars in the field that they are writing about. You will typically find these articles in journals that are well-respected in the field. Journals that are peer-reviewed use a rigorous system to evaluate articles by asking panel of experts read, comment, and make suggestions about the articles before they're accepted for publication. Learn more about the difference between scholarly and popular articles.
The library is confusing! How do I find things?
Check out our floor maps and directory.
I need help with my research.
We're here to help. There are many ways to reach us during our reference hours for any question you have. If you would like to sit down with someone and have an in-depth conversation about your topic, the next steps to take, or finding material, you can make an appointment with your subject librarian. Check out our list to see who to contact.
Why am I supposed to use journal articles?
One of the most important parts of research is making sure that the information you have is good and reliable. Scholarly and peer-reviewed journal articles have been vetted extensively by people highly familiar with the subject, are written by scholars in the field, and carefully document how they reach their conclusions. While there are many other reliable sources of information, journal articles are generally some of the better and more reliable resources.
How do I find books? What do the call numbers mean?
Books are organized on the shelf by subject, and are identified by a "call number" written on the spine of the book. The Fogler Library uses the Library of Congress classification scheme to order books on the shelf. Learn more about how to read the call numbers.
Why do I need to cite my sources? And why does it have to be so difficult?
You might find it a little tedious to properly cite all your sources in your research, but it's one of the most important parts of research. Anyone who reads your work needs to know how you reached your conclusions, what research you based your research on, what conclusions you're working from, and how to go back to your sources to take a look for themselves. While you might just write down some basic information like the author, title, and URL, it can be very confusing for the reader if your citations are not in the same, consistent form. Other students and academics are highly familiar with the primary citation forms for their field (like MLA, APA, or Chicago), so will expect to see each type of information in the same spot each time. This is even more important when you use a variety of sources such as video, journal articles, books, and websites. You'll get used to the citation style over time. Luckily, there are some great ways to make this process a little easier. Check out Citation Help for more information on the different styles, and for links to software that can help you manage the process.
Luckily, the library has access to much more than just what we have in the building. If the item is available at other libraries in Maine or at other Maine universities, you can request the book to be sent to Fogler Library. They usually arrive in a few days, or up to a week. If you need an article or a book that we don't have or isn't available to request, you can request that it be found as an Interlibrary Loan (ILL). This means that our librarians will search for the item throughout the country, and have it sent to our library for your use.
There are some items that we won't be able to find. Typically, these are textbooks or very rare books. While we wish we could provide all the resources you could use, there are financial constraints to what we provide. Regardless, we're more than happy to try to find the item you need or provide you with some alternatives.


My research mostly deals with the phenomenology of new particles and interactions at colliders. The breaking of the electroweak symmetry and the stabilization of the electroweak scale has inspired ideas like the Higgs mechanism, supersymmetry, extra dimensions, technicolor and little Higgs models. However, a broader understanding may be reached with more model-independent approaches, such as effective field theories and simplified models.
I am studying how the parameters of these model-independent frameworks can be constrained by direct searches at high-energy colliders, such as the Large Hadron Collider, and by precision experiments at lower energies. Of special interest to me are precision analyses that would allow to reconstruct the underlying framework of a model from experimental data. On the technical side, this involves development of loop calculation techniques and Monte-Carlo tools.
Some of the new physics models quite naturally could explain the origin of ordinary matter and/or dark matter in the universe. This opens up striking connections between collider physics and astrophysics and cosmology.
