We cannot expect to know the detailed "wiring diagram" of the nervous system for any intelligent creature for quite a long time. Even then, the true organization is likely to be incredibly complex and tangled. However, in order to build intelligent robots now, we need a plausible interim architecture. A functional model for robot organization is proposed, starting with a basic, first order model, which is gradually refined. In particular, it is proposed that associative memory provides a useful -and perhaps plausible --basis for an intelligent system.

Ray Santisi performing at the Top of the Hub restaurant in 1981.
As he helped his Berklee College of Music students become better musicians, and in some cases famous performers, Ray Santisi liked to tell the story of when he was their age and had a chance to play with Charlie Parker, the legendary jazz saxophonist.
Taking that brief lesson to heart, Mr. Santisi became the pianist whom musicians passing through Boston wanted with them on the bandstand, and his stable of Berklee students included a who's who of jazz keyboard virtuosity: Diana Krall, Keith Jarrett, Joe Zawinul.
Mr. Santisi taught at Berklee for 57 years, working with students until two weeks before he died of complications from heart surgery Oct. 28 in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He was 81 and had lived in Boston all his life.
With an elegant, memorable touch, Mr. Santisi coaxed sounds from the piano that no one could match.
Mr. Santisi "had a very distinctive way of making sounds on the piano that was just original," said Jonathan Feist, editor in chief of Berklee Press.
As he spoke with the Globe in 1981, Mr. Santisi sat at a piano in the Top of the Hub restaurant on the 52d floor of the Prudential Tower. He had played in venues as close as New York City and as distant as Los Angeles, but always returned to the city that stretched out far below the windows that surveyed Boston's neighborhoods and far beyond.
Mr. Santisi grew up in Jamaica Plain, the eighth and youngest child of Italian immigrants. During theDepression, "the family would scrounge together the dollar for his weekly lesson," said his nephew Frank Santisi of Westwood.
A scholarship student, Mr. Santisi attended what was then called Schillinger House. By the time he graduated and started teaching there in 1957, it had been renamed Berklee School of Music, and later became Berklee College of Music.
Along with teaching, he performed regularly and helped run jazz clubs. "He learned from playing. He played every night," Tiernan said.
Mr. Santisi "developed a way of teaching and he even developed his own language, his own words, his own vocabulary for describing techniques," she said.
Among Mr. Santisi's best-known students was Diana Krall, the jazz pianist and vocalist who, like some of his other students, went on to be awarded Grammys.
"Diana was always a terrific pianist, she used a great deal of economy in her playing," Mr. Santisi once told an interviewer for a Berklee faculty profile.
In the office where he taught, Mr. Santisi "had these two beautiful Steinways," Feist said, "but you couldn't see them because they were covered with thousands and thousands of pieces of paper" – compositions and technical exercises that spilled off the edges.
On stage, though, there was no tidier player in Boston.
"A good piano player can make or break anybody," said Larry Monroe, a saxophonist and former Berklee vice president for international programs, who had performed with Mr. Santisi.
"He was like the consummate jazz cat," Feist said.

In a trade war, one folly begets the next. Take Donald Trump's opening shot: a punitive tariff of 25 percent on steel. Alas, what is supposed to shrink an endemic trade deficit and intimidate rapacious foreigners has hit hardest at home. While U.S. steel manufacturers are gaining protection from more efficient competitors, the country as a whole is footing the bill.

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. Antibiotic resistance can naturally evolve via natural selection through random mutation, but it could also be engineered by applying an evolutionary stress on a population. Overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as second- and third-generation cephalosporin, can develop resistance very easily. Bacteria have an ability to neutralize an antibiotic by changing it in a way that makes it harmless others have learned how to pump an antibiotic back outside of the bacteria. Some bacteria can change their outer structure so that the antibiotic cannot attach itself to the bacteria's body.

The Hope - Carshalton
The Hope Pub in Carshalton is unique in many ways but primarily stands out due to its ownership. The pub is owned by its patrons. When the premises came up for sale in 2016, 38 members of the local community decided to get together and buy the pub outright and started to run it themselves. Since that time, the pub has been transformed into one of the most desirable ale pubs in South London, regularly winning awards for its ale selection and festivals.
Although part of the appeal of the pub is the nooks & crannies and snugs scattered around the pub, which provide different environments for the wide-ranging clientele. However, the facilities for the pub were in very poor condition and were in much need of modernisation. KJC Architects were appointed to design a two-storey rear extension and reconfiguration of the pub. The extension was to include a 75sqm new basement to house the wide arrange of ales supplied by The Hope and the ground floor was to provide a new toilet block, billiards playing area, extended seating area for restaurant and a link to the external courtyard.

Romney Lies and Hypocrisy on Solyndra
June 4, 2012 — Ron Chusid
For those who understand how a market economy works, which apparently excludes a tremendous number of Republican voters, the Solyndra attacks from Mitt Romney have never made any sense. Beyond the irrationality of the arguments there is the key point that Romney got his facts wrong in his attacks on Obama.
Some businesses are going to fail. I'll leave it to readers to follow the above link to the fact checking. If for the sake of discussion we believe that there is any logic to Romney's logic that it indicates a failing on the part of a public official if a company they provided assistance to should later go bankrupt, it turns out that Romney has done the same:
Romney has repeatedly ripped the Obama administration for sending federal funds to Solyndra, a California alternative energy company that went belly-up.
Decrying the White House's decision to give Solyndra a $535 million federal loan as "crony capitalism," Romney even held a surprise campaign stunt at the Bay Area plant Thursday.
But a day later, a Massachusetts solar panel company that received a state grant while Romney was governor filed for bankruptcy, according to the Boston Herald.
Romney personally awarded a $1.5 million renewable energy subsidy to Konarka Technologies, based in Lowell, a short time after he took office in 2003, the paper reported.
That company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and laid off 85 workers.
The Obama campaign was quick to pounce on the apparent double-standard.
"Every day we see a new example of Mitt Romney's hypocrisy," said Obama spokeswoman Lis Smith. "Mitt Romney may think he can play by a different set of rules, but he can't hide his history of giving millions of dollars in government loans to campaign donors."
The Romney campaign did not immediately comment on the report. Konarka collected a total of $20 million in government grants during its 11-year history, according to the Herald
Reuters also shows Romney's hypocrisy when attacking Obama for giving money to a company which later went bankrupt:
"It's a powerful line of attack that connects failed ventures like Solyndra, the bankrupt California-based solar panel maker that defaulted on a $535 million loan from the U.S. Energy Department, with the trillion-dollar budget deficits and sluggish U.S. economy of the past four years.
But it might invite unfavorable comparison with Romney's tenure as governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007. During that time, Romney pursued a hands-on approach to economic development that favored some industries over others and, in some instances, singled out individual firms for special favors.
Romney, a former private equity executive, backed tax breaks for film makers and biotech and medical-device manufacturers. His administration promoted venture capital-style funds that extended loans to start-up companies, some of which subsequently went out of business.
As the state's top salesman, he led the effort to lure desirable employers through tax breaks and other incentives.
"That's what governors do – they have to pick winners and losers," said Boston University professor Fred Bayles. "It's a calculated risk that governors and state politicians take in an effort to get jobs."
Sometimes, as with Bristol-Myers Squibb, Romney's efforts panned out. Other times they did not.
A $2.5 million state loan helped lure Rhode Island biotech firm Spherics Inc across the state line to Massachusetts in 2005. Romney's economic development secretary, Ranch Kimball, touted the move as "a tangible result of the combined and coordinated efforts of the public and private sectors to highlight the benefits of locating in Massachusetts."
The company shut down three years later, laying off all of its employees and defaulting on $1.5 million of the loan, according to MassDevelopment, the state development authority.
Romney's attacks of crony capitalism against Obama are even more absurd considering it is actually Romney, not Obama, who has a record of using government money to reward donors:
GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has hammered President Obama for his administration's tax-funded investment blunders — but when Romney was governor, the state handed out $4.5 million in loans to two firms run by his campaign donors that have since defaulted, leaving taxpayers holding the bag.
The two companies — Acusphere and Spherics Inc. — stiffed the state on nearly $2.1 million in loans provided through the state's Emerging Technology Fund, a $25 million investment program created while Romney was governor in 2003 that benefitted 13 local firms.
In contrast, there is no evidence of significant fraud involved in the stimulus money distributed by the Obama administration:
Overall, the federal government has distributed over $800 billion in stimulus money. Where are the sweetheart deals? Where are the actual outrages that are provoking outrage? During the debate over the stimulus, experts warned that as much as 5% to 7% of the stimulus could be lost to fraud. But by the end of 2011, independent investigators had documented only $7.2 million in fraud, about 0.001%.

Amazon to hire 100,000 workers to help deliver 'critical' supplies
By Clyde Hughes

March 17 (UPI) -- U.S. retail giant Amazon says it will hire 100,000 full- and part-time workers at fulfillment centers to keep up with demand and help Americans who are isolating during the coronavirus outbreak.
The company said it decided to hire additional workers to help Americans who "rely on Amazon's service in this stressful time." Amazon also said it will hike pay for some workers in the United States and Britain through April.
"Amazon and our network of partners are helping communities around the world in a way that very few can, delivering critical supplies directly to the doorsteps of people who need them," Dave Clark, Amazon's senior vice president of worldwide operations, wrote Monday on the company's blog.
"We want to recognize our employees who are playing an essential role for people at a time when many of the services that might normally be there to support them are closed."
RELATED Amazon opens its first cashier-less grocery store
Supermarket chain Kroger also announced plans to hire new workers across the United States to help stock items.
Kroger said it has "immediate positions available across our retail stores, manufacturing plants and distribution centers," and noted that the additional hires can be made in a matter of days
"The supply chain is strong and has not been interrupted," Felix Turner, manager of corporate affairs for Kroger's Atlanta division, said. "Our associates, management team and suppliers are working hard to replenish shelves as quickly as possible to ensure that the food, medicine and cleaning supplies are reaching our stores as quickly as possible and are available through our pickup, delivery and ship services."
RELATED Kroger unveils line of plant-based meats
Neil Saunders, managing director of retail consultancy Global Data, said delivery workers can become a "linchpin" from businesses to consumers with some restaurants and bars closing.
"Without them, many businesses will simply grind to a complete halt," he said. "The worry is that with delivery volumes increasing and more people likely to fall sick, delivery networks could come under increasing pressure."

Nikon D4 Review: Features & Specifications
(Last Updated On: April 5, 2013)
The Nikon D4 is a digital SLR camera which is perfect for action or sports photography and is one of the most preferred choices of top professionals today. This model is an up gradation to its earlier launched FX digital SLR camera, the Nikon D3. With a 6400 ISO, low noise and a boost to 25,600 D3 turned out to be a big hit and proved to be a big challenge for Canon and other competitors.
But today with D4 Nikon has a greater challenge is to produce a better camera that is persuasive enough to make existing D3 shooters purchase as well to redirect the potential switchers from other brands.
Nikon D4 Product Highlights
The Nikon D4 is a 16-megapixel FX sensor with EXPEED 3 processing engine which uses an upgraded Multi-CAM 3500FX auto-focus module. It is capable of recording 1080p Full HD movies at 24/25/30fps as well as 720p HD footage at up to 60 frames per second. The Nikon D4 comes with microphone and headphone jacks and an HDMI port that allows for the streaming of uncompressed video to an external recorder or monitor. When you focus on D3 the video and ultra-ISO are great but one does find it difficult to shoot in manual focus.
The focusing screens on auto focus cameras don't go quite well with the tasks that old-fashioned matte and split field screens were designed for. But with Nikon D4's 500mm reflex mirror lens it becomes much easier to capture moving items and fleeting images that were considered impossible earlier. D4 and D3 are seen to use the same number of pixels of 91,000. But Nikon D4 has a larger display of 3.2 inches compared to the 3 inches spotted on D3. Even though this cannot be considered an upgrade the pictures taken do seem to look sharp and clear.
Nikon D4 Features
The layout of Nikon D4 is very much similar to D3 and so previous model users will not have much difficulty in operating it. Here they have provided an extra little finger grip on the vertical hold which corresponds with the horizontal. The Live View button has been slightly moved, and there's a dedicated video record button just north of the main shutter button. Nikon D4 has an addition of two tiny joysticks on the back of the camera. These assist in making Auto focus selection easier. The joysticks are intuitive to use and work well, but are perhaps a little too easy to bump by accident.
Now Nikon D4 has come out with an upgraded version of the Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus module that made its debut in the D3. With a total 51 AF points the new addition has improved its sensitivity (down to -2EV) and support for lens-teleconverter combinations as slow as f/8. Changing the focus mode and the AF Area mode – single, 9-, 21- and 51-point dynamic, 3D tracking and Auto Area are some features that are incorporated.
The high performance ISO is another interesting feature of Nikon D4. It can shoot excellent photos up to ISO 12800 and can go for four extra boosts up to 204,800. But at higher points the images can get grainy and as such you wouldn't require it that often. The advantage here is that you can shoot in near darkness with 50mm lens and in true darkness with a wide-aperture lens without having to worry about insufficient light. Apart from the HDMI port it also an Ethernet connection port as well as a socket that allows the attachment of the new, separately sold WT-5 wireless transmitter. The Nikon D4 features two memory card slots, namely, Compact Flash and XQD.
Nikon D4 Drawbacks
The Nikon D4's new EN-EL18 battery surprisingly offers shorter than the D3 series. As per a CIPA rating the D4 can produce 2600 images per charge and there is no doubt that this can be considered as a significant battery life. But it's considerably behind 4200 images produced by EN-EL4a battery pack of D3.
Nikon D4 Price
Nikon D4 offers similar features of D3 with respect to color reproduction, auto focus but again it has new additions like Ethernet jack, 1080p movie mode, perfect manual focus and an external microphone jack. It's a camera which offers everything as far as professional photographer is concerned. The only problem is to own such an advanced camera would require us to spend a hefty amount from our pockets.

Investigation of the Association between Attendance in Preschool Programs and Achievement of Elementary School Students in Greeneville, Tennessee.
The purpose of this study was to determine if a difference in achievement test scores exists between students who attended preschool and those who did not as measured by standardized achievement test scores of students in the 3rd and 4th grades. The variables of grade level and gender were also considered. The population consisted of students who attended 4th and 5th grades during the 2007-2008 school year in the Greeneville City Schools. Data gathered were from Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program achievement test scores obtained from the 2006-2007 school year. Analysis of variance was used to identify any relationship between variables.
The investigation of the relationship between attendance in preschool and achievement test scores might assist educators in planning the implementation of future preschool programs within the public school setting. Although the information gleaned is specifically beneficial to Greeneville City Schools, other school systems seeking information on the relationship between attendance in preschool programs in relation to achievement test scores might find this study to be of importance.
Findings in this study did not show significance of preschool attendance within the Greeneville City Schools in relation to achievement test scores. Scale scores were tested in this model for both 3rd- and 4th-grade achievement scores. These scores consisted of language arts, math, science, and social studies. All areas tested were found to have no significance for (a) gender, (b) attendance in a preschool program, and (c) interaction between gender and attendance in a preschool program within the Greeneville City Schools.

Reformed domestic violence perpetrator opens up about realising violence isn't love

A reformed domestic violence perpetrator has opened up about his realisation that violence isn't love and that he needed to change his lifestyle.
Last week, The Project aired the chilling stories of two domestic violence survivors and presenter Jesse Mulligan put out an emotional appeal to perpetrators of family violence.

Women's Refuge hails new Budget as historic step against domestic violence
"As usual, we're talking about how the victims can solve this problem," Mulligan said.
"Can I take a second to suggest there's actually a better way - and that's for the abuser to sort their own s*** out."
One man who is open about his experience as a violent abuser is Vic Tamati, the founder of Safe Man Safe Family, a group that attempts to engage with abusive people who want to break free from their violent lifestyles.
Tamati told The Project that he grew up viewing violence as a normal part of life.
"I thought it was normal. Violence was normal growing up in the home, at school, at church and I thought violence was so normal and that it was called love. I ended getting it tattooed on my hand," he said.
"I was literally told every time I got a hiding that it was done to me because I was loved, this was love, this is love, and it is done to me because I love you and this love comes from god."
When Tamati became a parent, violence remained a constant in his life.
"When my youngest daughter was eight-years-old and supposed to get ready to go to school, and they were too slow getting ready, and so I called her into the lounge and she came in with an attitude.
"I told she had to get ready for school and she just said no. I was pacing up and down and I just grabbed a shoe and started whacking her with a shoe. When she staunched up to me I turned the shoe around and I smashed her with the heel of the shoe."
He said that incident led to a rift in the family and his wife leaving him.
"With my wife at the time came home, told her I gave her a hiding, she just lost the plot and called me all the names under the sun, she told me to f*** off, 'how could you do this to our baby'.
"She took some of the kids and went to Women's Refuge. It was at that time that my baby, my eight-year-old, she took the blame, it is because of her that I am angry.
"When I was growing up, I never took the blame and so I just got all confused, so it was from there that I made the decision along with the family that I needed help."
He eventually went to a programme called STOP where he was tested on his beliefs.
"I walked in on the first day, and he said to me 'is there anything that would stop you from completing this programme', and I said 'yes there is, yes there is' and I looked at these 16 or so men in the room, I looked at them all in the eye and I said if any of you touch any of my kids, I will f***ing kill you."
Twenty weeks later, Tamati was sat down by the programme's leader and asked why he hadn't killed himself.
"I lost it, grabbed him, tried to throw him out the window, started wrestling around. [He] sat me back down and he said 'who touched your kids, who gave your kids a hiding' and what would I do to anyone who would touch my kids, so why didn't I kill myself?"
Tamati said that was the moment when he realised his views and beliefs surrounding violence were wrong and he began working to help himself and others.
"Violence is still there. It is a tool that I have still got in my toolbox, but it is right down the bottom. It is not used because I have got all these other tools that I go to first, like walking away, time out, ringing somebody."
He says it can be hard for people to step forward when it goes against their lifestyle and those telling the perpetrators to speak up don't understand the experiences they have been through.
But, ultimately, he hopes abusers do reach out to organisations like Safe Man Safe Families and become role models for those around them.

Егерија (Latin: [еːˈгɛриа],  Ἠγερία) је била нимфа којој се приписивала легендарна улога у раној историји Рима као божанска супруга и саветница Нуме Помпилија, другог краља Рима, коме је преносила законе и ритуале који се односе на древну римску религију. Њено име се користи као епоним за женског саветника.

Порекло и етимологија
Егерија је можда претходила римској митологији: могла је бити италског порекла у светој шуми Ариче у Лацијуму, њеном древном месту, које је такође био гај Дијане Неморенсис ("Дијана од Немија"). У Аричи је такође био Манијус Егеријус, мушки пандан Егерије.

Име Егерија је различито тумачено. Жорж Думезил је претпоставио да име потиче од ē-gerere ("издржи"), што сугерише порекло од њене улоге на порођају.  Може да значи и "од црне тополе " (грчки αιγειρος, aigeiros).

Функција
Егерија као нимфа или споредна богиња римског религијског система је нејасног порекла; она је доследно, мада не на сасвим јасан начин, повезана са другом фигуром типа Дијана; познато је да се њихов култ  славио у светим гајевима, као што је локација Неми у Аричи, и још једна у близини Рима; обе богиње су такође повезане са водом која носи чудесна, религиозна или медицинска својства (извор у том гају у Риму био је посвећен искључивој употреби Весталки ); њихов култ се повезивао са другим, мушким фигурама још нејаснијег значења, као што је онај по имену Вирбијус,  или Манијус Егеријус, вероватно млад мушкарац, који је у каснијим годинама поистовећиван са фигурама попут Атиса или Хиполита, због референце на Дијану.

Некада описана као "планинска нимфа" (Плутарх), обично се сматра воденом нимфом и некако је њен култ укључивао и неку везу са порођајем, попут грчке богиње Илитије.

Али највише од свега, Егерија је давала мудрост и пророчанство у замену за либације водом или млеком у својим светим гајевима. Овај квалитет је постао посебно популаран кроз причу о њеној вези са Нумом Помпилијем (другим легендарним краљем Рима, који је наследио његовог оснивача Ромула).

Веза са Нумом Помпилијем

Према митологији, она је саветовала и водила краља Нуму Помпилија (латински нумен означава "изражену вољу божанства" ) у успостављању првобитног оквира римских закона и ритуала. Сматра се да је Нума записао учења Егерије у "светим књигама" које је сахранио са собом. Када их је случајна несрећа вратила на видело неких 500 година касније, Сенат их је сматрао неприкладним за откривање људима и наредио њихово уништење.  Оно што их је учинило неприкладним била је нека ствар религиозне природе са "политичким" освртом коју очигледно није пренео Валерије Антије, извор који је Плутарх користио. Дионисије из Халикарнаса наговештава да су их Понтифиције заправо чувале као врло блиску тајну.

Такође је надарена пророчким способностима.  У другој причи она помаже Нуми у битки духа са самим Јупитером, при чему је Нума настојао да добије заштитни ритуал од удара грома и грмљавине.

Нума је такође позивао на комуникацију са другим божанствима, као што су Музе;  стога сасвим природно, помало "бледу" фигуру Егерије Римљани су касније категорисали као једно од Камена, божанстава која су изједначена са грчким музама пошто је Рим пао под културни утицај Грчке; па је Дионисије из Халикарнаса Егерију уврстио међу музе.

Прецизан ниво њеног односа према Нуми описан је различито. Типично јој се даје етикета поштовања coniūncta ("супруга"); Плутарх је веома избегавао теме у погледу стварног начина интимности између Нуме и Егерије, и наговештава да је и сам Нума био на нивоу двосмислености.  До Јувеналових дана та традиција је третирана критичније. Јувенал ју је скептичном фразом назвао Нумина amīca (или "пријатељица").

Нума Помпилије је умро 673. п. н. е. у старости. Према Овидијевим Метаморфозама, Нумином смрћу Егерија се стопила у сузе туге, постајући тако извор (...donec pietate dolentis / mota soror Phoebi gelidum de corpore fontem / fecit... ), традиционално идентификован са оним у близини Порта Капена у Риму.

Извор Егерије у Риму

Извор и шумарак који су некада били свети Егерији налазе се близу капије Рима, Порта Капена. Његове воде су биле посвећене искључивој употреби Весталки.  Нимфеум, омиљено излетиште Римљана из деветнаестог века, још увек се може посетити у археолошком парку Кафарела, између Виа Апија и још древније Виа Латина,  у близини Каракалиних терми (каснија градња).

У другом веку, када је Херод Атикус преправио наслеђену вилу у близини као велико уређено имање, природна пећина је формализована као лучни ентеријер са апсидалним завршетком где је некада стајала статуа Егерије у ниши; површине су обогаћене облогама од зеленог и белог мермера и зеленим подовима од порфира и фризовима од мозаика. Првобитни извор, један од десетина извора који се уливају у реку Алмоне, направљен је да храни велике базене, од којих је један био познат као Lacus Salutaris или "Језеро здравља".

У модерној књижевности

У трагедији енглеске рестаурације Натанијела Лија Луције "Јуније Брут" (1680), Егерија се појављује у визији Брутовом сину Титу.
 Landon in The New Monthly 1826|Песма Летиције Елизабет Лендон Егеријина пећина у The New Monthly Magazine, 1826, описује уметничко представљање Егеријиног извора
 У Оскар Вајлдовом "Важно је звати се Ернест" канон Часабл назива Цецилину учитељицу госпођицу Присм "Егерија".
 У новели Џозефа Конрада Under Western Eyes, (1911) Мадаме де С___, руска дама "напредних погледа" се помиње као Егерија Петра Ивановича, "херојског бегунца" који је писао књиге проповедајући и практиковајући култ жена под обредима посебне посвећености трансценденталним заслугама госпође де С___.

I see beauty even in a world scarred by blind competition, insatiable greed, willful ignorance and unfounded optimism. Amusingly though, and despite overwhelming odds, beauty seems to self-generate in the poor soil we call life.
And if, as Goethe also wrote, we are shaped and fashioned by what we love then, by extension, so too is my work which is grounded in western history; freighted with restraint and discipline; measured equally in emotion and intellect; and, most importantly, detailed only with what enhances the poetic narrative. To see my work is to sense who I am.
The human condition is riveting. How people act on, react to, feel about, guard against, engage with, hope for, and self-delude is a story thousands of years old; and art historians will note that I am no different from those before me who told some version of that narrative on the stone of Lascaux' caves, ancient Egyptian papyrus scrolls, medieval vellum sheets, or whatever was on hand. I, like others before and will come after me, also know that what is portrayed is not necessarily what is there.
My work is straightforward; often, the mood is sombre. But everything is deliberate, calibrated, and edited to enhance (or even create from whole cloth) that beauty which one sees only by walking alone.
I almost always walk alone. Even in the most crowded of spaces, I almost always walk alone.

It can be lonely at the top - and trying to get there! Many find it is a real asset to have a confidential and objective coach in your corner, whose main aim is to get you where you want to be (even if you aren't always sure where that is). A coach can mean the difference between a burn out and success. They are also there to help you discover how to make the most of that success. Below are just three areas in which business coaching can help, whether you are an entrepreneur, owner, in the exec team or even working your way up the ladder.
There are many decisions to be made on a daily basis and being able to make them in a balanced and confident manner is essential. Making decisions because we feel we have to or are under pressure to do so won't get us the results we want. Coaching can help you keep a level head and see all the options in front of you, ensuring your decisions will be working toward your goals.
Businesses need to adapt and change in order to survive, and change can be a wonderful thing, but not everybody finds it easy. Coaching will help you feel balanced in your approach, stay objective and ensure that the changes and decisions you make are supporting your purpose going forward.
Sure we need to put in the energy, be 100% committed and work for success. It needs to get us what we want professionally but it also has to deliver for us personally. Sometimes a business can feel all consuming and I often hear how this has had a negative impact on personal relationships. A good coach will help you to draw that balance. Open up better communications with both loved ones and colleagues. Manage expectations and allow everyone, including you, to get to enjoy the good side of you, not just the stressed busy one.
Of course, there may always be times when work has to take priority, but there is a big difference between that and getting stuck on an ever faster hamster wheel of work. A coach will help you achieve a balance and ensure that your work is supporting your life and not the other way around. They'll also help you switch off at those important times you have put aside to do so.
If you find the right coach who is trained in voice, they will also be able to help you communicate better in order to more effectively achieve your aims. Whether your knees turn to jelly at the thought of speaking in front of particular groups or you just need to find ways to put your point across at the same time as getting others on your side, a good speaking and communications coach will be able to really help you. Much of it is about finding an authentic inner confidence, staying calm under pressure and building a rapport that engages and naturally persuades. Learning how to sound great also helps! If you find the right coach they will be able to identify what needs to change and have the techniques available to allow you to do it as effectively as possible.
There are many other areas in which a life and business coach can help. It can be a seriously good investment - and surprisingly reasonable when you look at the benefits. Have a chat with your prospective coach, you need someone you can speak with openly and honestly. Let them know what you think you need, but more than that, what you'd like to change or where you'd like to get to. Remember though, this isn't a job interview. It doesn't matter where your coach sees themselves in five years time or what achievement they are most proud of. What matters is that they can help you get where you want to be in a way that works for you. The results can be amazing!
Getting in the swim What can coaching do for you?

Assam NRC data: Wipro says IT services contract not renewed after October 2019
Wipro said the authorities did not renew the services contract for NRC project after it expired in Oct 2019.
NEW DELHI | GUWAHATI: A day after data of the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) list disappeared from its official website, IT major WiproNSE -0.49 % said the services were terminated over non-payment of dues while the Union home ministry clarified that NRCNSE 2.22 % data in Assam is safe even though some technical issues were visible and that it would be resolved soon.
"The NRC data is safe. Some technical issues are in visibility on the cloud. These are being resolved soon," a home ministry spokesperson said.
The data was not available for a couple of days and it created panic among the public, mostly those excluded from the list as the rejection certificates were yet to be issued.
Wipro, responsible for IT services, said the authorities did not renew the services contract for the project after it expired in October 2019.
After a rigorous tender process, Wipro was appointed the system integrator for the NRC project in Assam in 2014, as per the company.
In an e-mailed statement, the Bengaluru-based company said it had continued to pay the hosting service fee until January end "as a gesture of goodwill" and that it was willing to continue providing these services if the agreement is renewed by the authorities.
However, Wipro did not comment on the quantum of dues or whether discussions were underway to resolve the issue.
Meanwhile, a senior officer in NRC, who does not want to be named, told ET, "A case was filed against an NRC officer on Wednesday for not providing the password for the data records.
The officer had left the NRC office without handing over the password. This comes under the purview of Official Secrets Act and other authorised officers have not been able to access the data." "Wipro is claiming dues of Rs 70 crore, while as per our estimate it is Rs 60 crore. However, we are in the process of reconciling this," he said.

The range of PerMix PM series Magnetic Mixer uses special driving and sealing technology, which is totally different from the common gear-drive agitators. In a magnetic mixer, the magnetic couplings transmit their torque without direct touch of the mixing head, but by the magnetic field, thus they are working nearly without mechanical wear, which makes it possible that these magnetic mixers have much longer duty life with correct design and under proper working conditions. The mixing head can be equipped with several different mixing elements such as propellers or Rushton turbines.
Biotechnology and fermentation are the most advanced fields of application in process technology. For quite a long time magnetic stirrers take over a leading role in high-tech agitation. There are also demands from other industries for magnetic mixers.

Amguema (en ruso: Амгуэма) es una localidad rural del distrito autónomo de Chukotka, Rusia, ubicada sobre la carretera Iultin-Egvekinot. Su población en el año 2010 era de casi 531 habitantes.

Economía
Las manadas de renos son la principal actividad económica de la villa o localidad, que posee más de 11 000 de estos animales.

Amguema ha sido mejorada con la inversiones del multimillonario ruso Román Abramóvich, quien ha construido un colegio para todas las edades —lo cual no es común en el área— además de numerosas casas, otra casa para hospedaje u hostal, y una sauna. También hay un supermercado, oficina postal y panadería.

The unique art Collection of David Bowie
"Art was, seriously, the only thing I'd ever wanted to own," legendary musician David Bowie, who died on Sunday, January 10 at age 69, told the New York Times in 1998. "It can change the way that I feel in the mornings."
He went on to espouse his admiration for Frank Auerbach, David Bomberg, and Francis Picabia, and his appreciation of Marcel Duchamp's sense of humor.
Bowie's well-known love of fine art, however, has led to some exaggeration about the scope and breadth of his holdings. "Last week I was approached by a magazine about doing an interview on my 'Surrealist and PreRaphaelite' collection," said Bowie in 2003, as recounted by Nicholas Pegg's The Complete David Bowie (2011). "This was news to me."
David lent no less than three canvases to abstract expressionist Peter Lanyon's 2010 retrospective at Tate St. Ives. 21 Publishing, Bowie's art publishing press, had previously released Peter Lanyon: At the Edge of Landscape, in 2000.

JPSM Faculty, Alumni Receive Census Bureau Grants
Faculty and alumni of the Joint Program in Survey Methodology (JPSM) recently received awards from the U.S. Census Bureau in support of innovative work to improve the science of data collection.
The first award was to RTI International to build a new Ask US Panel. This project will design, build and maintain a probability-based online research panel. Statistical agencies and nonprofit organizations will use the panel to conduct public opinion and methodological research for the common good.
The project's Co-Principal Investigators, Jill Dever and Stephanie Eckman, are both Ph.D. alumna of JPSM. The project's Principal Investigator, Emilia Peytcheva, is a graduate of JPSM's sister program at the University of Michigan.
"The federal statistical agencies are worried about declining survey response rates and threats to data quality. The panel will let them test new approaches to collecting data," Eckman said.
Another cooperative agreement, awarded to Boston University, will help develop methods for providing formal privacy guarantees for data collected through complex sample surveys. Among the Co-Principal Investigators of this project are JPSM Research Professor Joerg Drechsler and is Professor Frauke Kreuter, director of JPSM. The project will be housed at the newly founded Social Data Science Center.
An additional cooperative agreement was awarded to a research team based at the University of Michigan, with co-investigators at the New School. The project will develop new analytic strategies to maximize the utility of social media data to monitor attitudinal trends related to statistical information produced by government agencies and other organizations.
One of the Principal investigators for this project is JPSM Research Professor Fred Conrad, who is also on the faculty at the University of Michigan, where he is based.
The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences congratulates JPSM faculty and alumni on these prestigious awards and projects.

Vauxhall's forte has always been the mid-range, mid-size segments and so staying within this playground they are introducing a new crossover called the Vauxhall Crossland X. Built to rival the likes of Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur, the X slots below the Mokka in the car maker's lineup.
The small crossover measures in at 4.21 metres but it is tall and has an elevated driving position so while the car is intended for urban dwelling, it'll give its driver the sense they are in command of something more robust than all the sedans and hatchbacks. Vauxhall Crossland X also has a spacious cabin with plenty of light, something the car maker likens to a Tardis.
Designed to take care of the needs of an average urban family, Vauxhall Crossland X has a 410 liter boot with the rear seats up which should be enough for monthly grocery shopping or taking the kids to soccer practice and the like. You will probably have to leave early for the practice though, because the Crossland is just not going to be fast. Chances are the most potent engine it'll get is a 1.2 turbo.
The vehicle is also up to date equipment-wise, boasting OnStar, as well as IntelliLink infotainment systems, compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other highlights in terms of features include Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) with full-LED headlamps, Head up Display, 180-degree panoramic rear view camera, Advanced park assist, Forward collision alert with pedestrian detection and autonomous emergency braking, Lane departure warning, Speed sign recognition, Side blind-spot alert, Cruise control with speed limiter, Three-level Driver Drowsiness System., Heated steering wheel and heated windscreen, and Keyless open and start.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Dollar Recovery Stops Rebound
Although Britain did not announce COVID restrictions like the rest of the European countries the pound was affected by concern about new lockdowns in Europe. Accordingly, the GBP/USD was sold off towards the 1.3385 support level, and investors returned to buying the US dollar as a safe haven.
Whether you're an investor or a speculator,
there are many great ways to trade in the UK
The GBP/USD attempted to stabilize above a new low for November and is likely to correct higher in the coming days if uncertainty over the White House's decision on Fed leadership leads to a temporary pullback in the US currency. The British pound was the top performing currency for the five days by Monday and was one of only two major currencies to gain against the dollar last week after British economic data spurred confidence in parts of the market that are betting the Bank of England may raise interest rates in December. .
The US dollar gained strong momentum in the Forex market with the announcement of US President Joe Biden extending Jerome Powell's term as head of the US Federal Reserve for another 4 years. Biden also said he would nominate Lyle Brainard for vice president, the only Democrat on the Federal Reserve's board of governors and the preferred alternative to Powell among many progressives.
Financial markets have recently begun to bet confidently that the US Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates as soon as June or July next year, with the swap rate indexed on Monday indicating that it will raise the Fed funds rate twice before the end of the year. 2022. Dollar weakness could be supportive of GBP/USD although there is also a risk that the greenback will be lifted on Wednesday and sterling weighed down by the next batch of PCE inflation figures and the November Fed meeting minutes.
Wednesday's core PCE price index is the Fed's preferred measure of US inflation and will likely be closely scrutinized by the market at 15:00 midweek, with the data released just hours before the minutes of this month's Fed meeting are released. North American traders will be out for the Thanksgiving holiday from Thursday, when sterling is likely to take cues from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and chief economist Howe Bell who are due to address the masses on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
On the daily chart, the GBP/USD is subjected to sell-offs, and the bears' control will increase for a while if they move the currency pair below the 1.3350 support level, which may then move to the 1.3190 support unless the pound gets new momentum. On the upside, the 1.3600 resistance must be breached for bulls to have a shot at control.
The currency pair will be affected today by the announcement of the PMI readings for the manufacturing and services sectors for both Britain and the United States. This is in addition to the reaction to the renewal of Jerome Powell's term, COVID cases, and risk appetite.

UFV's James Najman dekes around a TRU defender during the Cascades season home opener on Friday.
Cascades men's soccer open season with win
Men defeat TRU, women drop opener to TWU
Ben Lypka
The UFV Cascades men's soccer team started the Canada West season off on a positive note on Friday, beating the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack in Abbotsford.
UFV began their new era on the pitch at the MRC Sports Complex with a 1-0 win over TRU.
Battling rainy conditions throughout, the Cascades got on the board in the 35th minute when Daniel Davidson got the home club on the scoreboard. The tally proved to be the difference and the Cascades finished the match with a clean sheet.
The home opener win is the first time since 2010 that the men's team has opened the Canada West season with a victory.
The news wasn't as positive for the women's team, after they fell 2-1 to the Trinity Western University Spartans earlier on Friday.
All of the offence occurred in the second half, with the Spartans getting on the board early in the second half on a penalty kick goal. Danica Kump tied the game up shortly after, but the Spartans added a goal in the 83rd minute to spoil the women's debut at the MRC Sports Complex.
The women are now off until Sept. 10, while the men return to their home pitch to take on the UBC-O Heat on tomorrow (Saturday) at 8 p.m.
