The place to start in choosing a CPU is to think about the CPU upgrade path. You should easily in the future be able to upgrade the CPU you choose now, by simply dropping into your motherboard a faster higher end CPU when its price has fallen, thereby extending the life of your PC. To do this make sure the motherboard you choose today has a CPU socket that will fit these latest high end CPUs or even yet to be released CPUs.
For mainstream and gaming PCs that would be motherboards with socket LGA 1151 for Intel's 6th generation Skylake CPU architecture and also the upcoming 7th generation Intel Kaby Lake architecture.
For AMD CPUs and APUs, waiting for their new Zen CPU architecture that will potentially be released in late 2016, which will apparently use a new socket AM4 for both their CPUs and APUs, will be the best way to have an upgrade path. The current situation for AMD, if you can't wait and want an AMD CPU or APU today for a better price, is as follows. Get a motherboard with socket AM3+ for AMD FX CPUs or a motherboard with socket FM2+ for AMD Athlon X4 CPUs and AMD A-Series APUs. An APU is a CPU with a more powerful integrated GPU.
Intel's solution for mini PCs includes embedded CPUs, which are CPUs permanently fixed to motherboards as in their Braswell Refresh architecture CPUs. An embedded CPU means you're buying a CPU and motherboard as one single part compared to a socketed CPU where you buy the two parts separately. There's no upgrading embedded CPUs, both the CPU and motherboard have to be replaced. Some of these CPU motherboard combos are cheap enough it's not that much of an issue, but it does take more work upgrading compared to just dropping in a new socketed CPU into your current motherboard.
For ultra gaming builds with dual video cards consider motherboards with socket LGA 2011-3 for Intel's Broadwell-E Core i7 CPUs.
For workstations and servers for moderate work loads, consider motherboards with socket LGA 1151 with the Intel C236 chipset for Intel's Xeon E3-1200 v5 Skylake architecture CPUs. These motherboards also support 6th generation desktop Skylake Core i3/i5/i7, Pentium and Celeron CPUs.
For workstations and servers with heavy work loads consider motherboards with socket LGA 2011-3 with the Intel X99 Express chipset for 5th generation Broadwell-E Intel Core i7 CPUs and certain Broadwell-EP Xeon E5 v4 CPUs.
That's where one could start. This also nicely limits your CPU choices.
Given how fast CPUs are today you really don't need to spend more than around $50 to $65 dollars for a mainstream PC CPU. As an example a current Intel Celeron CPU that costs around $50 can perform all the mainstream tasks you want without a meaningful performance difference compared to a $200 or $300 or even a $1700 CPU!
For a gaming PC CPU around $70 to $120 will get you an affordable but very capable gaming CPU. For a high end gaming PC you might have to spend around $240 to $270.
For an ultra gaming or workstation or server it's $300 and higher for the CPU.
The specific CPUs are listed below.
Clock speed, number of cores, hyper threading and CPU architecture are main features to consider. Power consumption and overclocking potential are other factors. You're getting the best of these features automatically by getting CPUs for the motherboard sockets mentioned above.
One focus today on improving CPU processing performance is by placing more CPU cores on a chip. This includes dual, quad, six and now eight core CPUs for desktop CPUs, server CPUs can have upto 24 cores.
Intel's 6th generation Skylake dual core Celeron and Pentium CPUs even without hyper threading currently still offer a great blend of performance and price. Hyper threading is a feature that simulates more CPU cores without adding more physical cores, keeping the cost down. It saves money and does the job well. The Intel Core i3, Core i7 and most Xeon CPUs include hyper threading to great effect.
With regard to clock speed or frequency, which is still a very important factor, we believe gamers should get a clock speed of 2.8 GHz or higher. For others even 2.0 GHz is fine. Computer enthusiasts can overclock these CPUs to get a higher clock speed than just the CPU's rated speed. Overclock, but carefully. Low wattage CPUs need a lower clock speed to keep cool in fanless configurations.
For small form factor and low wattage PCs, often a mini PC, Intel has released in 2016 the Braswell Refresh CPU line. Power efficient, low cost while extremely capable, this CPU has dropped PC prices to new lows! You can now get a great mini PC for around $279! The Intel Celeron Processor J3060 Braswell Refresh dual core CPU is a fine CPU in this category.
For a mainstream performance PC Intel's 6th generation Skylake CPU architecture is better than AMD's Kaveri APUs, but again Kaveri's great graphics brings them back into the mix.
The 6th generation Skylake architecture Intel Celeron G3900 for around $50 is a great CPU here.
An AMD Kaveri architecture APU that could be considered in this segment would be the AMD A6-7400K. Its integrated graphics are its selling point.
For a gaming PC we typically are not interested in the integrated graphics capability of the CPU since we'll be pairing the CPU with a separate more powerful video card. A CPU with high end integrated graphics is typically more expensive than a comparable CPU with none or lower end integrated graphics. If you do get a CPUs with high end integrated graphics for a gaming PC you'll be paying for something you're not going to use since you'll be using a separate video card for graphics.
However, for someone who wants high end graphics but doesn't play 3D games, and also for someone who wants a smaller or mini PC, they're a great solution and you do save by not getting a separate video card.
AMD APUs that fall in this category that one should consider are the AMD Godavari architecture A10-7890K, A10-7870K and the A10-7860K. The K units have unlocked multipliers for potential overclocking and these three models now have a better and quieter stock cooling heatsink and fan.
Intel's 5th generation Broadwell architecture have two CPUs in this category of interest, the Core i5-5675C and the Core i7-5775C. These CPUs have Intel's Iris Pro Graphics 6200 integrated graphics which are similar in performance to a mid range separate video card, very impressive. These are expensive high end CPUs be warned, but fit well in this distinct CPU category.
Again, for a 3D gaming PC we're not interested in the integrated graphics capability of the CPU since we'll be pairing the CPU with a separate more powerful video card. In fact if the CPU doesn't even have an integrated GPU that's fine we'll save some money that way.
The 6th generation Skylake architecture Intel Core i3-6100 Processor dual cores four threads for around $120 is a great CPU here.
If you want to go higher and can't wait to overclock then an unlocked Intel 6th generation Skylake Core i5-6600K 3.5 to 3.9 GHz processor for around $250 is the one for you.
Unless you have very specific demanding processing needs or want an extreme gaming rig there really is no reason to pay up for the Core i7 CPUs. However if you do the unlocked Intel 6th generation Skylake Core i7-6700K 4.0 to 4.2 GHz is the stand out.
Intel has a 5th generation Broadwell-E Intel Core i7 6800K CPU, it runs at 3.4 GHz max turbo 3.6 GHz, with an unlocked multiplier for overclocking! This beast has 6 cores, 12 threads, 15 MB cache! It's around $440. This CPU runs on a motherboard with socket LGA 2011-v3.
A Skylake architecture 4 core 8 thread Intel Xeon Processor E3-1245 v5 gives you a powerful workstation you will enjoy working on.
Intel's enterprise Broadwell-EP architecture Intel Xeon CPUs have several advantages to consider over their consumer Core i7 CPUs. Chief among them is their ability to support up to massive amounts of memory. Of course your motherboard may limit your memory capacity but if you get a socket LGA 2011-v3 motherboard with 8 memory slots supporting up to 128 GB memory capacity that's a lot. Add to this, ECC (error correcting) memory support which is important for data integrity and you're set.
In this category a Broadwell-EP architecture 6 core 12 thread Intel Xeon Processor E5-1650 v4 gives you a powerful workstation and you can build up a server on it as well.

Филипп де Кревкёр, сеньор д'Экёрд (де Корд) (;  — ) — маршал Франции.

Сначала служил у Карла Смелого и командовал бургундцами в битве при Монлери (1465) и взятии Льежа (1468).

После смерти Карла перешёл на сторону Людовика XI и во главе французских войск участвовал в битве при Гинегате (1479 год), а в следующем году занял Люксембург и подписал Аррасский договор, по которому Бургундия была присоединена к Франции.

В 1492 году назначен маршалом и наместником Пикардии. Там он продолжал успешно вести воину и взял Сент-Омер и Теруан.

Биография

Происхождениеe
Жак (ум. 10 сентября 1439 г.), сеньор Кревекёр-ле-Гран и Туа, судебный пристав кастеляна Касселя в 1432 г., вместе с канцлером Никола Роленом стоял за Аррасским договором 1435 г. , кастелян Ла Мотта -о-Буа де Ньепп с 1433 по 1438 год, главный советник герцогини Изабель Португальской с Жаном Шевро во время переговоров в Гравелине в июле 1439 года, капитан Компьена, губернатор Клермона-ан-Бовези, рыцарь Золотой Руна; Жак впервые женился на дочери сеньора Тьенна Жана де ла Виввиль и Маргариты де ла Ваккери леди Тьенн и Калонн Бонн де ла Виввиль : в браке с которой родились:
 Антуан де Кревкер, сеньор Кревекёр, Тьен, Туа, судебный пристав Амьена, советник и камергер герцога Бургундского, рыцарь ордена Золотого руна, а позже рыцарь ордена Святого Михаила, советник и камергер короля Франции Людовика XI, губернатор и сенешаль Артуа, губернатор Арраса 12 мая 1484 г. и главный волчатник Франции. Женат первым браком на Жанне де Берньель и вторым браком на Маргарите де ла Тремойль, леди Дур и Ингутсен.

При Карле Смелом
Филипп де Кревкер сначала поступил на службу к герцогу Бургундскому Карлу Смелому, он был упомянут как молодой компаньон в 1444 годуи был одним из старых друзей Смелого, как Ги де Бримё, Карл де Тернан, Филипп де Ваврен, Оливье де Ламарш, Гийом де Монблеру, Филипп де Шасса и Гийом Биш. В 1463 году он был губернатором Труа, а также судебным приставом Амьена. В 1465 году в рамках войны общественного блага отличился в битве при Монлери под командованием графа Клермона Жана II.

Он выступил против жителей Льежа в 1467 году во главе вольных стрелков герцога Бургундского, в следующем году получил Орден Золотого руна и был во власти Артуа и Пикардии.

Он защищает Абвиль от королевских войск. В 1472 году в Пикардии он взял Нель, но не смог захватить обороняемый Жанной Ашетт Бове. Он продолжал участвовать во всех кампаниях против Людовика XI до 1477 года.

При Людовике XI
После смерти Карла Смелого он поступил на службу к Людовику XI в 1477 году, который сохранил его в правительстве Пикардии и даёт ему орден Святого Михаила.

Он возвращает Артуа под повиновение короля и захватывает Аррас, но проигрывает битву при Гинегате в 1479 году.

Весной 1480 года Людовик XI собрал в Пикардии 10 тыс. наёмников и 2,5 тыс. инженеров, которым суждено было заменить ополчение вольных стрелков и содержаться на постоянной основе.Эти французские отряды копировали швейцарские отряды, состоявшие из алебардистов и пикинёров/

17 августа 1482 г. был назначен губернатором и генерал-лейтенантом Пикардии. Он также был губернатором и капитаном Ла-Рошели в 1480 году и был утвержден в этих обязанностях Карлом VIII в 1483 году.

При Карле VIII
После смерти Людовика XI 30 августа 1483 года новый король Карл VIII назначил его маршалом Франции 2 сентября.

Во время Безумной войны он успешно противостоял атакам имперцев. Он победил Равенштейна в 1486 году и взял в плен при Бетюне в 1487 году герцога Гельдернского Карла и графа Нассау Энгельберта II. Были захвачены Сент-Омер и Теруан.

В 1492 году он заключил Этапльский договор с королем Англии Генрихом VII.

Во время экспедиции Карла VIII в Италию в 1494 г. Кревкёр получил командование авангардом, но погиб в самом начале при Арбреле близ Лиона 22 апреля 1494 г.. Его смерть в Л'Арбреле изображена на одном из витражей церкви в компании Жиля де Ланса (чья семья связанная с Монморанси, в неё входит, в частности великий магистр арбалетчиков и сеньор д'Аннекена Бодуэн де Ланс)..

Одним из наследников стал его племянник и епископ Безье Антуан Дю Буа.

Master Series de Toronto
On 25/07 we went to Toronto to visit our newest friends Renato, Fernanda, Lucas and Felipe (also gauchos, but from the capital. Hehe…), who welcomed us into their home along with the oldest friends Gadi, Suzi and Ana. We stayed the 9 in their apartment, but despite the amount of people on the same roof, we were very well accommodated. 🙂
We arrived on Friday night and were greeted with a super barbecue, including with the right cassava flour… Hehehe… They have been in Toronto for a little over 5 months and are living in North York, which is a city in the metropolitan area with approximately 650,000 inhabitants. The region is extremely beautiful and is certainly a great area to live in greater Toronto.
Renato and his first-rate barbecue…
Who would take a sausage with cassava flour?
And the laughing loose…
Boys at the after-barbecue…
On Saturday we went for a walk in the morning, getting to know Casa Loma and the Royal Ontario Museum…
Casa Loma, which is now one of Toronto's great tourist attractions, was built for Sir Henry Pellatt from 1911. With its 98 bedrooms, the house was the largest private residence in North America when completed in 1914, after approximately $3.5 million dollars.
The House has also been a location for several North American films, including The Love Guru, X-Men, Chicago, The Tuxedo (The $2 Billion Suit), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (still unpublished) and The Pacifier."
Loma House
We also passed the Royal Ontario Museum which is the 5th largest museum in North America (and the largest in Canada), containing more than 5 million items. It was built in 1912 and underwent several expansions, the third of which was the most striking. The architect Daniel Libeskind was responsible for the deconstructivist design of the volume in glass and aluminum that protrudes to the exterior of the museum building almost centena ry. In the afternoon, we set off for the main event, which was one of the semi-finals of the Rogers Cup tennis (one of the 9 Master Series tournaments, which, after the Grand-Slams, are the most important events). The Guga reached the final of this tournament in 1997, when the edition was played in Montreal (in the even years the men's event is in Toronto and the women's event is in Montreal and in the odd happens the other way around), the same year he won Roland Garros for the first time , but lost to American Chris Woodruff 2 sets to 1, with partials of 7–5, 4–6, 6–3. The idea was to watch Federer's game, but he lost in his first match, and we ended up seeing the match between Gilles Simon (French and current number 14 in the rankings) and Nicolas Kiefer (German and current number 21 in the rankings). The game was hotly contested, ending Kiefer's 2-1 win.
Coming to the tournament…
Diego and Gadi
Central panel with the schedule of the games

Ford's Theatre announces "Lincoln Legacy Project"
By Jacqueline Trescott
Ford's Theatre has announced a five-year project to mount one play each season with themes of tolerance, equality and other social issues and pair them with a month of weekly dialogues.
"The Lincoln Legacy Project," a new initiative, will start in the fall with the musical "Parade," the theatre announced Tuesday.
The play follows the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager in early 20th Century Atlanta, who after being accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl was lynched by a mob. The play's themes about religious intolerance, racial tension and injustice will be discussed in town hall meetings and scholar and activist panels on successive Mondays in October at Ford's.

The project has received a pledge of $500,000 from Ronald O. Perelman, chairman and CEO of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, its largest donation so far giving Perelman the rank of founding sponsor.
"Parade" was first produced in New York in 1998, ran for 85 performances and won two Tony Awards. Paul Tetreault, Ford's director, was in the audience. " I wept. I was so moved and couldn't believe this had happened in our country," said Tetreault.
Sitting in his office on F Street, with hordes of tourists lined up to visit Ford's on a sunny day, Tetreault said the project continues the discussion of Abraham Lincoln's principles as well as focusing on current issues.
"Whether the play is historical or not, the conversation is now," Tetreault said. "Things are still happening. Gay kids are threatened and kill themselves."

Ford's has enlisted several partners for the "Legacy Project," starting with The Anti-Defamation League, which was founded in the wake of Frank's lynching in 1913, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington, the D.C. Jewish Community Center and the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Foundation.
"I think this is an opportunity to bring African American and Jewish groups and audiences together to reflect on this moment in history. They can see how out of the mainstream both African American and Jewish people were in the South," said Ari Roth, the artistic director of Theater J, another sponsor. Roth said he had been introduced to the Frank story through theater projects and hoped that would happen for others with "Parade." "This is an unsentimental play and these are unsentimental times. Things go wrong for everyone."
Harold Holzer, chairman of the Bicentennial Foundation, said the project fits the tributes to Lincoln. "Lincoln is both a constant reminder and an obligation. If Lincoln can be an universal ideal, whether the discussion is about race, gender, religion or sexual orientation, then Lincoln is a good way to have these discussions," said Holzer. The foundation has also pledged $25,000 for each of the first two years of the program.
Under consideration for future season openers are: "The Laramie Project," about the 1998 killing of University of Wyoming gay student Matthew Shepard, "Fly," about the Tuskegee Airmen, "The Scottsboro Boys," about the 1930s case of nine African American men accused of attacking two white women; "The Crucible," about the Salem Witch hunts and "The Andersonville Trial," about a Confederate POW camp.
"The core of the project is the artistic component," said Tetreault.
"Parade," which has not been produced professionally in Washington, was written by Alfred Uhry with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown. Ford's is mounting a completely new production of the show. It opens September 23.
The 2011-2012 season, the theatre announced Tuesday, will also include "A Christmas Carol," from November 18 to December 31; a commission from playwright Richard Hellesen about the relationship between Lincoln and abolitionist Frederick Douglass; and "1776," the Tony Award winning musical from March 9 to May 19.
The theater is also opening its Center for Education and Leadership, across from Ford's, in February 2012. "This is really the beginning of the focus of our programs at the center. That's what we are talking about--leadership," said Tetreault.

Government officials and researchers in Ecuador gather for ECUAMOD training
How does raising income tax affect government revenue? What are the costs and benefits of implementing a state pension?
Tax and benefit microsimulation is a useful technique for determining how policy changes affect the distribution of income and government expenditure. It has been widely used in rich countries and UNU-WIDER has played a key role in bringing microsimulation models to key countries in the developing world, with the primary aim of building capacity for evidence-based policy-making in these contexts.
The ECUAMOD training course took place at the Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales.
Most recently, 24 government officials and researchers – including representatives from the Central Bank and the Ministries of Economic Policy and Finance – gathered in Quito for the ECUAMOD training course. The training, held in partnership with the Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales (IAEN), aimed to introduce the microsimulation model created specifically for the country to key stakeholders, as part of the SOUTHMOD project.
Participants saw the training in positive terms, bringing attention to areas in which the model could further incorporate local practices. In this sense, the training course not only helped build participants' competencies in using the tool but also facilitated discussion between end users and organizers with implications for potential improvements. The training was preceded by meetings with selected government institutions to give an overview of the model, which worked to generate interest in what ECUAMOD can offer.
Why do microsimulation modelling?
Understanding the impacts of policy allows decision makers to make informed decisions. Data, know-how, and capacity-building are vital to this process.
Government officials and researchers participated in two-day course.
Through the SOUTHMOD project, UNU-WIDER has actively worked in collaboration with many developing countries around the world to build tax and benefit microsimulation models. This type of modelling is a widely used technique by researchers and policy makers working on tax and benefit provision to provide evidence of the possible impacts of policy changes.
By making use of the microsimulation models — which are based on the successful EUROMOD project targeted to European countries — users can compare what policy, in concrete terms, using different scenarios imply for poverty, inequality, and government revenues.

Ideas to Expand Your Portfolio of Products & Services
In the spirit of "Innovating with Meaning" in the New Year, especially during a time when the call for innovation can be heard loud and clear, we offer the following ideas to help you expand your current portfolio of products and services:
By Alex Pattakos & Elaine Dundon 4 minute Read
Seek to alter the "forgetting curve" by reminding your current customers through advertising of products & services and/or of specific benefits or aspects of said products & services of which customers may be unaware;
Sell more to your current customers by offering promotions or volume discounts for a limited time, such as a "buy 2, get 1 free" offer;
Sell more often to your current customers by promoting frequent purchases via a loyalty card campaign;
Find other uses for your product or service (for example, Arm and Hammer encouraged consumers to place an open box of baking soda in their refrigerator to mask food odors; Absorbine, once only a remedy for animals, is now available in a less potent formula, Absorbine Junior, for relieving sore muscles in humans);
Find a new distribution channel, such as eBay or Amazon.com for your products & services;
Create a new occasion (for example, Hallmark Cards is famous for promoting new holidays in order to encourage higher sales; cereal manufacturers encourage consumers to eat cereal as a snack in addition to the breakfast occasion);
Decrease the price with special events, such as Back-to-School sales;
Offer various price points (as hotels do with standard and deluxe suites);
Add a service to the product, such as free ski wax with the purchase of new skis;
Bundle with other products or services, such as offering airfare, hotel, and car rental packages;
Develop line extensions. Disney is a master at expanding the use of its movie properties;
Introduce new levels of service, such as the way that American Express does with its card programs or as dry cleaning stores do with rush or regular service;
Expand by offering new services. Restaurants are expanding into the rental market where they are offering to rent their premises for cooking lessons, cooking parties, and even executive team training courses where team members can learn to break down their communications barriers by learning to cook together;
Develop new products within the same category;
Develop new products in a new category. For products and services operating in so-called "mature categories," it is wise to expand the definition of the category by combining one category with another, or by creating an entirely new category;
Find new customers via a new distribution channel, such as Avon and Tupperware successfully did. Vending machines, for instance, represent a viable distribution channel to target new customers for many products;
Find new customers in new geographic zones. Expand your distribution globally;
Redefine the target market. Attract new customer groups, such as teens or families. For example, Tilley, the Canadian hat manufacturer, supplied hats for soldiers who were serving in the US Army;
Reposition the product or service from a niche to a mainstream category in order to attract a larger customer base;
Cross-sell your products to new customers who are already your customers! Financial institutions, for example, are finally learning to sell their loan services to those customers who are holding savings accounts at the same branch;
Remove barriers to your current products or services. Find out what the barriers to using your product or service have been among potential new or returning customers. Decide if these barriers warrant corrective action in order to attract these new customers;
Sell your knowledge to others outside of your industry sector. For example, Second City, well known for SCTV and comedy shows, has expanded its portfolio by offering knowledge through improvisation training courses targeted to business people who want to improve their presentation and communication skills;
Identify totally new business concepts. Nokia began operations in 1865 as a wood pulp mill and, over time, changed its business focus to chemicals, rubber, and, most recently, to telecommunications;
Create new categories and industries. Go where no one has gone before!
We hope that you will find something on this list of ideas that proves to be useful (and, of course, "meaningful") to you and your organization as you navigate through these difficult economic times. For more ideas and examples, please see our bestselling book, The Seeds of Innovation. Happy New Year!

Malcolm in the Middle: The Complete First Season DVD
Ed Williamson
You fools. You had no idea of the sharp, biting allegory at the heart of Malcolm in the Middle, did you? No, thought not. Lucky you've got me around.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear Malcolm in the Middle was an allegory for Buddhism. It's based on the fundamental premise that life is suffering ("Life is unfaaaiir ..."), and it documents Malcolm's attempts to practise and attain a state of mindfulness, higher wisdom and discernment, while all around him is chaos. Ha! And they said a media studies degree would be useless.
It ran for six years without my ever paying a lot of attention to it, having prejudged it as a straight-ahead family comedy. While any type of prejudice is obviously healthy and to be encouraged, I was only half-right, as it turns out.
Yes, it's based on a familiar setup, wherein young Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) is the only normal member of his family. His mother is overworked and comically strict, dad Hal (Bryan Cranston) is oblivious to anything going on around him, and his three brothers raise all manner of hell. Throughout it Malcolm narrates and often airs his frustrations direct to camera, our lone voice of sanity amid the pandemonium. You know, like a Buddhist would. Stick with this.
That's not Silly String; it's KRISHNA String.
So yes, it's familiar. But it avoids the usual after-school-special morality of family comedy. Malcolm generally strives to do the right thing, but he's not always punished when he does something wrong or rewarded for doing something right. Hal and Lois's parenting is often wrong-headed or a bluff. The kids do dangerous things and come away unscathed; even when they end up injured there's no finger-wagging aimed at the parents.
In this sense it inhabits a similar world to Scrubs, in which the constant madcap surrealism buffers any sense of safety or the consequences of characters' actions. But is it funny? Yes, albeit without that many laugh-out-loud moments, for me. Just like Buddhism.
Wow, that conceit really didn't follow up its early intentions, did it? But you know what else doesn't really follow up its early intentions? Buddhism. Think about it.

Our Services Heart and Vascular Center About Us Our Facilities Hybrid Operating Room
St. Joseph Hospital opens the nation's first true Hybrid Operating Room
In the spring of 2010, St. Joseph Hospital opened the nation's first true Hybrid Operating Room for the treatment of heart and vascular disorders in adult and pediatric patients. The new Hybrid Operating Room features Artis Zeego, the first multi-axis imaging system that uses robotic technology and 3-D imaging software to reconstruct high-resolution images of the heart and vascular system.
When current and future catheter-based technology is combined with the advanced technology offered by the Zeego imaging system, patients who were previously non-surgical candidates - primarily those over the age of 80, as well as those who have had multiple heart and vascular surgeries - will be able to have a heart valve replaced and/or repaired.
St. Joseph Hospital's Hybrid Operating Room is a fully equipped surgical suite designed to handle the most complex adult and pediatric open heart surgeries, as well as minimally invasive procedures. What sets the Hybrid Operating Room apart from traditional operating rooms is Zeego, a multi-axis, robotic, high-resolution, 3-D imaging system that utilizes DynaCT software to reconstruct dynamic images of a patient's heart and vascular system in real time. Zeego's virtually limitless freedom of movement and sharp 3-D images offer pinpoint accuracy of fine details.
This precise imaging allows surgeons to open blocked arteries through catheter-based procedures, rather than open procedures. However, because the Hybrid Operating Room is a fully equipped surgical suite, surgeons can immediately convert from minimally invasive to open bypass surgery if needed, without relocating the patient or referring the case to a new surgical team.
Utilizing the Hybrid Operating Room's advanced technology, heart and vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists and interventional cardiologists work together as highly efficient medical teams. This provides the maximum level of comfort and safety for patients since treatment is performed in the same operating room, at the same time, by members of the same medical team.
For the St. Joseph Hospital Heart and Vascular Center, the Hybrid Operating Room will result in:
More minimally invasive procedures
Fewer surgical complications
Shorter hospital stays
Faster recovery times
Improved patient outcomes
Continued involvement in leading-edge clinical trials
Capability to treat patients with complex medical conditions - including those who would have required open-heart surgery, and those previously considered too high-risk for surgery.
Patients requiring the following therapies have access to the latest technology offered in the Hybrid Operating Room:
Minimally invasive heart and vascular procedures
Catheter-based heart valve replacement and repair
Catheter-based congenital heart defect repair
Catheter-based vascular procedures
Combined open and endovascular procedures
Treatment of cardiac arrhythmias
Abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs
Peripheral angioplasties
By utilizing the high resolution, 3-D imaging technology offered in the Hybrid Operating Room, St. Joseph Hospital's highly skilled medical teams provide the safest and most effective heart and vascular treatment available today for adult and pediatric patients.

We are All in the Oil Business
Thought Leadership Provided by ConocoPhillips
ConocoPhillips has a long history in Alaska, from the discovery of oil on the Kenai Peninsula in the 1950's that provided the resources needed to become a state, to the discovery of Prudhoe Bay in 1968 which fueled the economic engine that is the financial foundation for the entire state. Today, we are the largest oil producer and explorer in Alaska. This would not be possible without the support of Alaskans – support which has been built through a strong history of investing in our communities and collaborating closely with those that are most directly impacted by our activities; they are truly part of our business.
At ConocoPhillips, we strive to build inclusive, honest and respectful relationships with all stakeholders, especially our nearest indigenous neighbors on the North Slope. We respect the rich culture of Alaska's Native peoples and actively seek to learn from their traditional and local knowledge. Maintaining transparent dialog with stakeholders allows us to understand the environmental and social issues that are not only important to them, but essential to our business success. In these conversations we hear everything from requests to support local school and community programs to input on how we can better design our operations to reduce potential conflicts with subsistence hunters. These engagements reinforce our long-standing commitment to produce oil and natural gas resources in a way that protects people, the environment and the communities in and near where we work and live.
Our Alpine CD5 satellite field project reflects our commitment to engagement. The Inupiat village of Nuiqsut is located approximately eight miles from the Alpine facility. We have devoted over eight years of planning to minimize impacts on wildlife, waterflow and the local subsistence lifestyle. However, initial permit applications for a bridge over a channel of the Colville River generated concern related to subsistence hunting.
ConocoPhillips withdrew its initial applications and worked with residents and the local Alaska native corporation to find a mutually agreeable location. Ultimately, through collaboration, a new bridge site was identified. New permit applications were filed with support from Kuukpik (the village corporation), the State of Alaska, Alaska's congressional delegation, the North Slope Borough and CD5 subsurface owner Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (the Regional ANCSA corporation).
This same spirit of collaboration was recently incorporated into our Willow project, in the National Petroleum Reserve- Alaska, also not far from Nuiqsut. When concerns were raised related to the potential impacts to marine mammals due to an off-shore module staging area, the project team developed an alternative that eliminated this offshore component.
ConocoPhillips fosters its culture of collaboration through a robust community investment program on the North Slope and across Alaska. For example, in 2019 we worked with the City of Nuiqsut, the Native Village of Nuiqsut and the Kuukpik Corporation to form the Nuiqsut Community Development Foundation. This foundation's purpose is to provide grant management and project execution services to build capacity for the local entities to manage community programs. We also helped protect a historical subsistence use cabin by moving it away from an eroding riverbank, thus preserving an important cultural use area.
Improving the quality of life in the communities where we live and work is a fundamental value for ConocoPhillips and our employees. In 2019, we awarded 495 grants to over 250 Alaska non-profits in our core focus areas: Education, Health and Safety, Natural Resource Preservation, and Social Services.
These investments are shared across the state. In 2019, we contributed over $5.4 million to non-profits in Anchorage, Fairbanks, the North Slope, Kenai, Valdez, Juneau and other regions across the state.
In addition to financial support, our Alaska employees volunteered over 2,500 hours in 2019, including 15 United Way Day of Caring Projects. Employee-driven programs contributed more than $1.5 million to Alaska non-profits and their donation of time and other in-kind contributions exceeded $500,000.
While not everyone in Alaska works in the oil industry, we often say that if you live here, you must be in the oil business. Through direct and indirect employment, state projects funded through taxes, and its community investment programs, ConocoPhillips's contributions to Alaska, its communities, and its people provide a strong foundation for its business now and into the future.

I set out to find a simple answer to a simple question: Why is there no meat in mincemeat? It was going to be a tidy tale of how a misnomer was born. Look up a few websites, collect a few facts, wrap them in a nice story, and on to the next project. As so often happens, however, my research took a rather circuitous path as I kept discovering connections and facts that I'd had no inkling of when I started out. The story of mincemeat is more interesting—and convoluted—than I ever imagined.
Mincemeat is, I must confess, a topic about which I have never felt much passion. In my family, mincemeat pie was simply one of a half dozen standard Christmas dessert choices. I rarely had room for more than two, and in my personal hierarchy of dessert preferences, mincemeat ranked well below Johnny Bull Pudding and blackberry pie. On the occasions I did eat mincemeat pie, it made no particular impression on me other than provoking a vague curiosity at its name, since whatever the filling was, it clearly did not contain any meat.
One explanation for the name could be that in Old English, the word meat had the more generic meaning of "food," whether or not it happened to come from the flesh of animals. Thus, a mincemeat pie would actually have been a "minced food" pie, which could have been anything. However plausible this may sound, however, this explanation turns out to be incorrect (or at least misleading).
Centuries ago, mincemeat was so named for the very straightforward reason that it contained minced animal flesh (and in fact sometimes still does—more on this later). Beyond that, the details of its provenance and development are hazy. I have read a few unsubstantiated reports stating that mincemeat pie was served at least as far back as 1413, at the coronation of King Henry V of England, and that further, it was a favorite of Henry VIII. There is no record of the composition of these early dishes, but recipes dating from the early 17th century list a variety of wild game, plus eggs, fruit, spices, and sweeteners. According to some accounts, early mincemeat pies were small, like tarts; according to others, they were immense, weighing as much as 220 pounds (100kg). In any case, meat and fruit were invariably included among the ingredients.
Going back even further, however, there are some who believe mincemeat pie is based on an ancient pagan tradition of serving coffin-shaped cakes representing Osiris—the Egyptian god who, according to legend, died and was resurrected each year. This ritual took place on the winter solstice, December 21, and this very festival was later co-opted by Christians looking for a convenient date to celebrate Christmas (and stamp out pagan influences in the process). Along with the Yule log and the evergreen tree, the mincemeat pie is arguably a remnant of the original pagan celebrations that persisted when the holiday was refashioned.
Puritans in the 17th century felt that Christians had no business observing the birth of Christ by eating, drinking, and merrymaking—certainly not on a pagan holiday, and using pagan symbols. So the English Parliament, controlled as it was by Puritans, abolished Christmas celebrations in England in 1647. Years later, authorities in Connecticut and Massachusetts banned Christmas celebrations there too. The prohibition specifically disallowed mincemeat pies, which were characterized as being sinful both for their symbolic origin and their inherent richness. But Cromwell's attempt to put the last nail in the coffin of mincemeat failed; it rose again. Within two centuries the ban on Christmas had been all but forgotten, and mincemeat was once again a staple in both Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations. But over those years mincemeat had undergone a change in character. Perhaps as a way of obeying the letter of the law while maintaining tradition, some people had begun to leave out the meat in mincemeat, replacing it with nuts, apples, and raisins…along with brandy or rum. That, in short, is why the name doesn't always match the ingredients.
This leaves the question of why anyone would think to mix meat and fruit in a pie in the first place. This notion seems to elicit "yuck" responses from many people, but I don't see why. Sweet and sour pork contains pineapple; some curried meat dishes contain raisins. There's nothing unnatural about mixing meat and fruit. It's just not common to see them together in baked goods (though I have frequently said that the idea of chicken cinnamon raisin cookies sounds good to me). One commentator opined that the mixture was simply a method of preservation, as the combination of the acids from the fruits and the heat from baking inhibited the growth of bacteria in the meat. That seems vaguely plausible, though I prefer the simpler explanation: it just tastes good.
Today, a few recipes for mincemeat (and some brands of jarred mincemeat) do indeed contain meat, but of those that don't, most of them still contain suet, the hard layer of fatty tissue surrounding the kidneys of cattle. To be sure, this doesn't sound like an appetizing dessert ingredient. And yet, it turns out to be one of the main ingredients (again, along with raisins) in Johnny Bull Pudding, the dessert I customarily ate on Christmas instead of mincemeat pie. There's just no escaping tradition.

Microsoft is adding a native dark mode to OneNote. The company is internally testing a new dark mode for the OneNote app on Windows 10, according to Italian blog Aggiornamenti Lumia.
The new dark mode in OneNote makes the application dark — including the ribbon, the titlebar, etc, losing the traditional white/purple accent. For now, though, it seems like the actual note you work on is going to continue to have a white background, and that kind of destroys the look of the dark mode. However, the version leaked by Aggiornamenti Lumia is still an early version of the dark mode, so that could change before the feature arrives for everyone.
OneNote's new dark mode also syncs with your Microsoft Account, so if you change to the dark mode on your laptop, it will automatically switch the OneNote app on your phone to use the dark mode accordingly. That is, of course, once all the other OneNote apps on other platforms actually pick up the new dark mode. It's not clear if Microsoft is planning to release the new dark mode for all platforms at the same time, but for now, we only have evidence of the new dark mode on Windows 10.

Section 10. Trustee Compensation.
The Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services as agreed upon in writing from time to time with the Grantor.
Section 11. Successor Trustee.
The Trustee may resign or the Grantor may replace the Trustee, but such resignation or replacement shall not be effective until the Grantor has appointed a successor trustee and this successor accepts the appointment. The successor trustee shall have the same powers and duties as those conferred upon the Trustee hereunder. Upon the successor trustee's acceptance of the appointment, the Trustee shall assign, transfer, and pay over to the successor trustee the funds and properties then constituting the Fund. If for any reason the Grantor cannot or does not act in the event of the resignation of the Trustee, the Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or for instructions. The successor trustee shall specify the date on which it assumes administration of the trust in writing sent to the Grantor and the present Trustee by certified mail 10 days before such change becomes effective. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee as a result of any of the acts contemplated by this Section shall be paid as provided in Section 9.
Section 12. Instructions to the Trustee.
All orders, requests, and instructions by the Grantor to the Trustee shall be in writing, signed by such persons as are designated in the attached Schedule B or such other designees as the Grantor may designate by amendment to Schedule B. The trustee shall be fully protected in acting without inquiry in accordance with the Grantor's orders, requests, and instructions. All orders, requests and instructions by the State Water Control Board to the Trustee shall be in writing, signed by the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality, and the Trustee shall act and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such orders, requests, and instructions. The Trustee shall have the right to assume, in the absence of written notice to the contrary, that no event constituting a change or a termination of the authority of any person to act on behalf of the Grantor or the State Water Control Board hereunder has occurred. The Trustee shall have no duty to act in the absence of such orders, requests, and instructions from the Grantor and/or the State Water Control Board, except as provided for herein.
Section 13. Irrevocability and Termination.
Subject to the right of the parties to amend this Agreement as provided in Section 17, this Trust shall be irrevocable and shall continue until terminated at the written direction of the Grantor and the Trustee, or by the Trustee and the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality, if the Grantor ceases to exist. Upon termination of the Trust, all remaining trust property, less final trust administration expenses, shall be delivered to the Grantor.
Section 14. Immunity and Indemnification.
The Trustee shall not incur personal liability of any nature in connection with any act or omission, made in good faith, in the administration of this Trust, or in carrying out any directions by the Grantor or the State Water Control Board issued in accordance with this Agreement. The Trustee shall be indemnified and saved harmless by the Grantor, from and against any personal liability to which the Trustee may be subjected by reason of any act or conduct in its official capacity, including all expenses reasonably incurred in its defense in the event the Grantor fails to provide such defense.
Section 15. Choice of Law.
This Agreement shall be administered, construed, and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Section 16. Amendment of Agreement.
This Agreement may be amended by an instrument executed in writing executed by the Grantor, the Trustee, and the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality, Commonwealth of Virginia, or by the Trustee and the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality, Commonwealth of Virginia, if the Grantor ceases to exist.
Section 17. Annual Valuation.
The Trustee will annually, at the end of the month coincident with or preceding the anniversary date of establishment of the Fund, furnish the Grantor and to the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality, Commonwealth of Virginia, a statement confirming the value of the Trust. Any securities in the Fund will be valued at market value as of no more than 30 days prior to the date of the statement. The failure of the Grantor to object in writing to the Trustee within 90 days after the statement has been furnished to the Grantor and the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality, Commonwealth of Virginia will constitute a conclusively binding assent by the Grantor, barring the Grantor from asserting any claim or liability against the Trustee with respect to matters disclosed in the statement.
As used in this Agreement, words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular. The descriptive headings for each section of this Agreement shall not affect the interpretation or the legal efficacy of this Agreement.
In Witness whereof the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers duly authorized and their corporate seals (if applicable) to be hereunto affixed and attested as of the date first above written.

E. If other financial assurance as specified in this chapter is substituted for all or part of the trust fund, the owner or operator may submit a written request to the Director director for release of the excess.
F. Within 60 days after receiving a request from the owner or operator for release of funds as specified in subsection D or E of this section, the board will instruct the trustee to release to the owner or operator such funds, if any, that the board determines to be eligible for release and specifies in writing.
G. Whenever the cost estimate changes, the owner or operator shall compare the new estimate with the trustee's most recent annual valuation of the trust fund. If the value of the fund is less than the amount of the new cost estimate, the owner or operator shall, within 10 days of the change in the approved cost estimate, deposit a sufficient amount into the trust so that its value after payment at least equals the amount of the new estimate, or obtain other financial assurance as specified in this article to cover the difference. If the value of the trust fund is greater than the total amount of the cost estimate, the owner or operator may submit a written request to the board for release of the amount that is in excess of the cost estimate.
H. After beginning implementation of the closure plan, an owner or operator or any other person authorized to implement the closure plan, may request reimbursement for implementation expenditures by submitting itemized bills to the board. Within 60 days after receiving bills for plan implementation activities, the board shall instruct the trustee to make reimbursements in those amounts as the board determines are in accordance with the closure plan or are otherwise justified.
I. The board shall agree to terminate the trust when:
1. The owner or operator substitutes alternate financial assurance as specified in this article; or
2. The board notifies the owner or operator that he is no longer required to maintain financial assurance for the implementation of the closure plan.

Bangor coffee house hosts monthly story slams for people of all ages
Home /Campus & Community, Culture, Uncategorized/Bangor coffee house hosts monthly story slams for people of all ages
The West Market Square Artisan Coffeehouse, located in downtown Bangor, is an ideal place for coffees, dates, and the occasional story slam.
Rebekah Sands
Campus & Community,Culture,Uncategorized |
Mark your calendars for March 6, because West Market Square Artisan Coffeehouse in Bangor will be hosting one of their regular story slam events, occurring on the first Friday of every month, beginning at 6:30 p.m. This month's theme is "Food Fiasco," where anyone can share a crazy tale about food, ranging from how you actually found a fly in your soup to a terrible event at your waitressing job.
At West Market Square, story slam attendees arrive around 6:30, grab their drinks and take a seat on one of the couches or tables around the shop.
"Generally, what tends to happen is people want to be warmed up, so we usually have a couple regulars that come and get up and give a couple slams … if needed, our MC, Blaine Shaw, warms the audience as they go along — he's fantastic. Usually, though, as each person gets up and tells a story, it gives courage to the next person. We don't put names in a hat as a rule — we just let people raise their hands," shop owner Cheryl Michaud says.
Attendees will share a total of eight to 10 stories a night when there are robust crowds. The slams are open to people of all ages, though the audience tends to be comprised of people between 18 and 50 years of age, making this the perfect event for college-aged students looking for a fun night out or a venue in which to perform.
Once all the stories have been told, a panel of judges reviews the stories based on criteria traditionally followed by story slams, but, since it's a casual event, it isn't as difficult as one may think. The winning story receives a $25 Buoy Local gift card underwritten by Bangor Savings Bank that can be used at most local businesses in Bangor.
"[We judge on] just a few things: How you connect to the audience, that could be how you made them happy, made them sad; presentation, if it's hard to hear you, [it] makes it hard to connect with the story; and the story itself, how it hits people. We usually have Blaine Shaw and one other person [as judges], though people volunteer. You have to stay within five minutes, but Blaine takes some liberties as long as it's under seven," Michaud says.
Currently, West Market Square is going on two years of hosting story slams, originally starting as a part of the downtown Bangor New Year's Eve Celebration and Winterfest with the intent of bringing the local community in to gather, share and enjoy a quality cup of coffee.
"Story slam is an extension of our community involvement. When we originally started, we tried having music on Sunday mornings, game night … neither took off. The idea was for the kids that didn't want to drink or the young adults that didn't want to drink to have a place to go," Michaud says.
Along with hosting slam every first Friday of the month, West Market Square holds additional slams for groups who want a venue, such as Equality Maine during Bangor Pride Week, and the Mabel Wadsworth Center for a closer, more intimate storytelling event. Michaud also says groups at the University of Maine would be more than welcome to reach out and plan similar events at the coffeehouse.
As for upcoming events, West Market Square is having a "Swipe Right: Cookies and Couples" event extending through the month of February, where if you're on a first date and you let one of the baristas know, you and your date get two free cookies with your drinks. On Feb. 29 from 9-10 a.m., the shop will host a coffee tasting and pour-over demonstration free to the public, followed by a psychic reading by Amy Burgoyne, where it's $10 for a 10-minute psychic reading along with a cup of coffee or tea.

I'm Glad About You
Their meeting in a parking lot outside a high school football game was both completely forgettable and utterly life-changing. Because no matter how you look at it, it is piss-poor luck to meet the love of your life before your life has even started. Fierce and ambitious, Alison transforms into a rising TV star in New York City while her first love, Kyle, all heart and spiritual yearning, becomes a pediatrician in suburban Cincinnati, married to the wrong woman. What could these mismatched souls have to do with each other? Everything and nothing. Even as their fates rocket them forward and apart, neither can fully let go of the past.
As their lives inevitably intersect, Alison and Kyle must face each other in the revealing light of their decisions. I'M GLAD ABOUT YOU is a glittering study of how far the compromises two people make will take them from the lives they were meant to live.

I just noticed that the screen alignment in Pentagon mode (ZX Spectrum) is way off from other Spectrum models.
Тайминги Pentagon довольно точные. Если что-то не выравнивается - пример, название программы, ссылка ?
Hmm... well, then let's see if someone have another idea.
I saw a "Screen Alignment" setting on the ZXUC tool. But it doesn't seem to have any effect on this.

By KAREEM CHEHAYEB
BEIRUT (AP) — The United States is rerouting $72 million of America's assistance to Lebanon to help the cash-strapped government boost wages of its soldiers and police officers. Washington is a key donor of the Lebanese Army and its 80,000 members, providing over $3 billion in military aid since 2006. The announcement Wednesday is the first time the U.S. is allocating funds for wages in Lebanon, a tiny Mediterranean country of 6 million people. The country is struggling with an unprecedented economic crisis, with three-quarters of the population living in poverty while the Lebanese pound has lost over 90% of its value against the dollar.
