Aldersbridge Communities Launches Elder Wish Granting Program for Its Residents
ElderVentures presents woman with replica of her 1940s engagement ring.
Reunited With Her Engagement Ring: Winslow Gardens resident Emmalou Kirchmeier poses with her newly recreated engagement ring, a multi-carat emerald cut amethyst created by East Providence-based MRT Jewelers. The ring was her wish, granted by Aldersbridge Communities' newly launched ElderVentures program for its residents.
Making Dreams Come True: Aldersbridge Communities CEO Richard Gamache granted Winslow Gardens resident Emmalou Kirchmeier's wish for a replica of her 1940s engagement ring. The wish was the first one granted by Aldersbridge's ElderVentures program, a new initiative of the nonprofit provider of long-term care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted and independent living services for seniors with locations throughout Rhode Island.

It was November 1942 when 18 year-old Emmalou Handford married her neighborhood sweetheart, Otto Kirchmeier, while he was on leave as Army gunnery chief stationed in Panama. There was no time for a long engagement and the young couple's family gathered quickly to see them wed.
On their second wedding anniversary, Otto, who was on duty thousands of miles away, arranged for his sister to purchase an engagement ring for his wife. He chose her birthstone, an amethyst with a unique emerald cut. She wore it every day for the next 58 years until he died.
The ring accompanied many happy decades together with Otto: throughout their careers (she a Methodist minister, chaplain, newspaper bureau chief, and author and he a land surveyor), raising seven children, running a two-acre gentleman's farm on Long Island, and putting the kids through college.
It wasn't soon after Otto passed away in 2002 that her ring setting became loose and the stone chipped when it fell onto a glass counter. In a selfless act, she sold the setting and cashed in all of her jewelry so her eldest son, John, a helicopter pilot chaplain and his wife, a nurse, could spend five years ministering in Kenya. "I was determined to find the money for them to go," recalls Emmalou without regret.
In Spring of 2018, Emmalou relocated to Aldersbridge Communities' Winslow Gardens independent living in East Providence. She liked the proximity to one of her daughters who lives in the Ocean State, and enjoyed the opportunity to provide chaplain services to her fellow residents.
One day, she bought a rose cut lavender costume jewelry ring for $8 that was for sale in the lobby. "I tried to recreate my engagement ring as best I could on my limited budget," she notes, "but it didn't come close to what my husband had given me. Of course, his love was attached to it."
Last month, Emmalou was asked by Aldersbridge Communities CEO Richard Gamache to participate in its new ElderVentures program, a wish-granting initiative for its residents funded entirely on donations. "I knew right away that my wish was to get the ring made," she said, without hesitation.
MRT Jewelers in East Providence worked with Emmalou to recreate the ring. She selected the stone size and verbalized every detail of its unique setting from memory. At an informal ceremony held recently in the Winslow Gardens library, she was presented with a 6-carat, high-quality emerald cut amethyst set in a four-prong setting on a 14K yellow gold band.
"It's a dream come true for me," an ebullient Emmalou stated, after an initial moment of speechlessness. "I never saw this happening and thought it'd be selfish of me. Until this opportunity, I never thought of satisfying my own need, and didn't even realize how much I had a need. It's absolutely amazing," she said with emotion as she admired her newly adorned left finger. "I'm never going to stop looking at it. I keep seeing Otto in it."
A nonprofit organization, Aldersbridge Communities raised $13,000 at its annual gala in June to help fund the launch of ElderVentures. Aldersbridge has since granted Emmalou's and another resident's wish to attend a rock concert at Fenway Park with his children. A third wish is in the works to send a resident to Upstate New York to visit her brother and sister-in-law.
"Imagine having the power to make someone's dream come true," Mr. Gamache states. "ElderVentures enables us to do just that. It's life-changing, heartwarming and, at the same time, extremely rewarding on many levels. It is our hope to grant as many wishes as we can, as often as we can."
At this time, the ElderVentures program is only open to residents who live at one of the four Aldersbridge Communities throughout Rhode Island: Linn Health & Rehabilitation (East Providence), Winslow Gardens assisted and independent living (East Providence), Arbor Hill assisted living (Providence), and St. Germain assisted living (Woonsocket). Residents or their families can make wishes known to the administrators of these communities, for consideration by a Steering Committee appointed to grant approvals.
"This program makes us unique in bringing it to our residents, as our focus is for each of them to live with purpose," explains Elise Strom, director of development, public affairs and philanthropy at Aldersbridge Communities. "Their wish can be something to benefit where they live, to experience something of a lifetime, or fulfill a need they've been longing for. Together with the generosity of our donors, we can make their dreams possible."

The town was incorporated two years later with a population of 400. Hattiesburg's population first expanded as a center of the lumber and railroad industries, from which was derived the nickname "The Hub City". It now attracts newcomers because of the diversity of its economy, strong neighborhoods, and the central location in South Mississippi.

Project on 'Engaging Afghanistan' Aims to Fill Gaps in Expertise and Public Engagement
The Watson Institute is developing collaborations among researchers, policy makers, and the media for more meaningful public engagement on Afghanistan.
The Social Science Research Council and its initiative on Academia in the Public Sphere: Islam and Muslims in World Contexts are providing a two-year, $100,000 grant to support the project, known as "Engaging Afghanistan: Creating Avenues of Engagement between Academics and Thank Tanks, the Media and Policy Makers."
The project aims to redress the current shortfall in expertise on Afghanistan, according to project co-directors Michael Kennedy, director of the Watson Institute, and Shiva Balaghi, a fellow at Brown's Cogut Center for the Humanities. Among the specific needs identified are studies on the effect of America's militarized foreign policy on diplomatic efforts; democratic transitions and institution-building; regional implications of stability; and cultural outreach to Afghanistan's civil society.
At the University, a Brown Afghanistan Working Group of faculty with expertise in a wide array of academic disciplines and geographies has committed to deepening its research on Afghanistan, organizing a variety of educational and cultural programs relating to Afghanistan at Brown, and coordinating outreach efforts to policy makers, practitioners, and the media within their fields of expertise that bear upon the current crisis in Afghanistan.
"Expertise on Afghanistan remains insufficient to meet the policy needs the US faces in this critical region," Balaghi said, citing as one cause the history of areas studies in academia and its lack of clarity on Afghanistan's place among the overlapping world regions of the Middle East, South Asia, and Russia and Central Asia.
Added Kennedy: "Building contextual expertise around Afghanistan is essential for many reasons, but thinking strategically about how to extend that expertise is critical."

Q: Storing a SketchUp file in PostGIS I am sorry if this is a relatively dumb question, but I was wondering if there is a way to store a SketchUp file (.skp) in a PostGIS database?  I was thinking about as a blob, but I wasn't sure if anyone has had success with this.  The record would be a point location.  Right now I am doing a file path link to the file on the directory, but I was hoping there was a way to store the file in the database.

School District 200 Awards Two Tiger Legacy Scholarships
Sedalia School District 200
As a way to fill targeted teaching needs and reward hometown students who plan to become educators, Sedalia School District 200 has awarded its first scholarships under its Tiger Legacy program.
Smith-Cotton High School seniors Erika Tackett and Laura Haney are the inaugural recipients. Tiger Legacy, the district's "Grow Your Own" program, encourages students who pursue education degrees in science, math and special education to come back to Sedalia 200 to teach for at least four years by providing them $2,000 per semester toward their bachelor's degree. Tackett plans to pursue special education and Haney intends to become a freshmen math teacher.
Addressing the Sedalia 200 Board of Education during its May 13 meeting, Tackett said she will pursue an associate's degree in Teaching at State Fair Community College, then attend the University of Central Missouri to get a bachelor's degree in cross-categorical special education. "I'm very excited to have this opportunity," she said.
Haney will attend the University of Central Missouri to attain a bachelor's degree in Secondary Education-Mathematics. She told the board: "I hope to come back to teach freshmen math … then take a gap year and return to school to get a master's in counseling degree to become a high school counselor."
Assistant Superintendent Dr. Nancy Scott led the committee that launched the Tiger Legacy program and interviewed the students who applied for the scholarships.
"We know that teachers who have ties to a community are more likely to put down roots and stay. Through Tiger Legacy, we aim to identify high-quality students who show the promise of becoming high-quality teachers for our district," Scott said. "We are confident our investment in Erika's and Laura's educations will result in positive outcomes for them, our district and the students they eventually will teach."

Free diving is any of various aquatic activities that share the practice of breath-hold underwater diving. Examples include breathhold spear fishing, freedive photography, apnea competitions and, to a degree, snorkeling. The activity that garners the most public attention is competitive apnea, an extreme sport, in which competitors attempt to attain great depths, times or distances on a single breath without the assistance of self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba).
Competitive freediving is currently governed by two world associations: AIDA International (International Association for Development of Apnea) and CMAS (World Underwater Federation). Most types of competitive freediving have in common that it is an individual sport based on the best individual achievement. All disciplines can be done by both men and women and, while done outdoors, no differences in the environment between records are recognized any longer. The disciplines of AIDA can be done both in competition and as a record attempt, with the exception of Variable Weight and No limits, which are both done solely as record attempts.
Static Apnea is timed breath holding and is usually attempted in a pool (AIDA).
Dynamic Apnea With Fins. This is underwater swimming in a pool for distance. For this discipline the athlete can choose whether to use bi-fins or the monofin (AIDA, CMAS).
Dynamic Apnea Without Fins. This is underwater swimming in a pool for distance without any swimming aids like fins (AIDA).

What Makes a Great Midfielder?
In the next edition of our "Anatomy of a Successful Football Team" series, we look at what makes a great midfielder.
The midfield is the engine room of any football team, and midfielders are usually the fittest players on the pitch. They require brilliant all-round ability to play their role successfully and help the team achieve their goals.
Different Roles of a Midfielder
Defensive/Holding Midfielder – Will sit in front of and protect the defence. A defensive or holding midfielder will usually hold their position between their own penalty area and centre circle, looking to break down opposition attacks early and bring more advanced players into play.
Box-to-Box Midfielder – The box-to-box midfielder is the workhorse of the team, getting back to assist the defence before running the length of the pitch to be involved in attacking phases of play.
Central Midfielder – The central midfielder will look to run the game from the centre of the pitch, passing the ball about to retain possession and tracking the attacking movement of the opposition players. May be required to drop back into a defensive role or move forward into an advanced position depending on what the situation calls for.
Attacking Midfielder – An attacking midfielder will be an attack-minded player who links the midfield to the forwards. They may be required to track back and assist the defence, but their main role is to create chances, using their skill and creativity to either bring others into play or have a shot at goal themselves. This role will sometimes be known as an Advanced Playmaker or the Number Ten.
Wide Midfielder/Winger – These two roles differ slightly but are both played in a wide midfield position. The wide midfielder will usually play close to the touchline in between the defence and attack, playing a part in both defensive and attacking phases of play. The winger will usually sit in a more advanced position, in between midfield and attack, with their main aim being to put pressure on the opposition defence by whipping crosses into the box or cutting inside.
Attributes Required to be a Great Midfielder
Individual attributes will differ depending on which role a midfielder is playing, but all great midfielders require the following attributes to be successful.
Work Rate/Leadership – These two attributes go hand in hand because a great midfielder must work tirelessly and lead their team from the middle of the park. They will never give up, chasing down every ball and throwing themselves into every tackle. They will approach every game with a blood and guts, never-say-die attitude and an unmatched will to win which can drive their teammates on to a winning performance.
Fitness/Stamina – A midfielder will generally be involved in most passages of play during a match, tracking back to assist the defence and getting forward to play a part in attack. They also must try and win the midfield battle to keep control in the middle of the pitch. Therefore, they must be fitter than everyone else and have an abundance of stamina to give 100% for 90 minutes or more.
Composure – A midfielder must stay composed at all times, as they will see a lot of the ball and be involved in a lot of the action in a match. They must keep a cool head to prevent mistakes which can pile the pressure on the defence, choose the right pass at the right time to retain possession, and avoid rash challenges.
Vision/Anticipation – the midfielder must be able to read a match, anticipate what will happen next, and have great vision to turn defence into attack. They must be quick thinking and ready for anything, for the duration of the match.
All-Round Technical Ability – Not only will a midfielder need to be fit, composed, have great vision, and be a never-say-die leader, but they must also possess excellent all-round technical ability. The main abilities must be tackling and passing, although a great midfielder will be fantastic in all areas to keep the engine running smoothly.
Three of the Best Midfielder of All-Time
Because of the different roles a midfielder will play, people will have varied opinion on what makes a great one.
I believe the best midfielders will have (at-least most of) the attributes mentioned above, so here are three of the best.
England and Manchester United "Captain Marvel" who epitomises what a great midfielder should be.
Had fantastic anticipation, could read a game brilliantly, was a brave and hard-working leader, ran all day with an abundance of stamina, could tackle, was a great passer of the ball, and scored goals. He was even decent in the air.
Robson basically ran the midfield every time he was on the pitch. In fact, he was so good that former Manchester United players voted him the greatest United player of all-time a few years back.
Dutchman Rijkaard was perhaps the greatest defensive playmaker the world has ever seen.
Tenacious, ferocious, physical, and fast, he controlled the play from a defensive midfield position.
His intelligence meant he could read a game and anticipate every action or reaction, his great tackling meant he was rarely beaten, his vision and excellent passing allowed him to start attacking phases of play from a deep-lying position, and his stamina and work-rate meant he was at his best for the duration of every match.
Lothar Matthaus
Perhaps the most complete and well-rounded midfielder to ever step foot on a football pitch.
Matthaus was the greatest box-to-box midfielder ever, with fantastic positioning, strong tackling, pin-point passing, and great attacking play made better by lethal shooting ability.
He was named the first ever FIFA World Player of the Year and won 150 caps for Germany during a long and prestigious career.
He was a midfield dynamo who possessed every attribute required to be successful in the role, and then some. To list the attributes he had, and what he brought to a team, would take far too long. But in my opinion, he is the best midfielder to ever play the game.
Great, and Not So Great, Midfielder Moments
Sometimes, midfielders do great things and sometimes they don't. Here are a few videos to show the best and worst midfielder moments of all-time.
Starting with the worst, it's difficult to look past Steven Gerrard and his untimely slip in a crunch match which ultimately cost his side the Premier League title.
Gerrard was one of the greatest midfielders of all time, who led by example and single-handedly won matches for club and country over the years. However, this slip turned him into an instant meme and it will be remembered forever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lQNLczGyqE
Having used Gerrard as an example of the worst midfielder moment, I feel it only fair to show some of his best moments as well.
One of the attributes required by midfielders is great passing ability, and there aren't many who could pick out a pass quite like David Beckham.
So, to end, here's a look at Beckham's passing ability in a compilation of his greatest assists.

After our plane was delayed for 12 hours in Toronto on the way over, our already short 4 day trip was compressed into 3. Mental note: February, transfer, Toronto = bad idea! It snows in that part of the world! Another bad idea? Optimistically announcing, "See you at breakfast at 8!" while crashing into bed at 5:30AM. Yes, I learned a lot this trip!
So, on a trip shorter than usual, I was rushing to see my old friends and connect with new ones during my limited time in Hong Kong. When, suddenly, I stumbled across a small company selling these beautiful sterling silver teardrop shapes. They reminded me of some carved Mother of Pearl we had carried years before. But I loved the sterling silver! I grabbed a limited number of pieces and bustled on.
Well, of course Abby loved these also. We decided to wire some extra small pearls to these and create a stunning pair of earrings. I couldn't be more thrilled with my quick find. And the earrings turned out beautiful. Although, bad news: in my haste, I didn't get enough! So, please enjoy the very limited number of these Spiral Pearl Earrings!
And for those of you who get my weekly emails, you know it is an appropriate launch after Hong Kong, into Spring Break, an extended Spring Break and an otherwise spiraling week. Enjoy!
Do not even think about staying in with these stunning earrings. They are meant to be flaunted!
The Scattered Pearl Necklace is the perfect expression of your classic uniqueness. Featuring white button pearls alternately scattered along this necklace.

Steve Smoger appointed IBA Officials Committee co-chair
Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger becomes the Officials Committee co-chair at International Boxing Association
Founded in 90's International Boxing Association (IBA) announced its relaunch under the leadership of JC Courrges in June 2017. Over the years its long list of notable champions featured the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley, Roy Jones Jr., Roberto Duran, Holly Holm, among others. Moreover the organization is a pioneer to recognize women's champions at the world level.
On Monday IBA President Courreges confirmed to FIGHTMAG the appointment of the American referee Steve Smoger as a co-chair of the IBA Officials Committee. Alongside "Double S", Klaus Hagemann of Germany has obtained a respective position.
The Hall of Fame resume of Smoger includes five inductions. In 2015 he has received the highest honor in the sport of professional boxing when he was inducted into the IBHOF. Holding the distinction of officiating in more states and countries than any other boxing referee in the history of the sport, in July Smoger added Jamaica to the list.
Hagemann is the World Kickboxing Network representative in Germany. One of his most recent top jobs was in May when he officiated the World Championship event "Dubai Fight" in the UAE.
The two have a long history of working together. The pair appeared shoulder to shoulder during three seasons of boxing series "Bigger's Better" on Eurosport (2010-2013), where several IBA championships were featured on the program.
IBA Officials Committee
The explained duties of Smoger and Hagemann include assembling a roster of experienced, world class professional boxing referees and judges to officiate IBA sanctioned events throughout the World. Both will also continue to officiate IBA sanctioned events as assigned by IBA President Courreges. In addition "they will conduct annual training sessions and clinics to keep our officials sharp and current on all the appropriate professional boxing rules and regulations," said IBA President.
When asked whether they will work outside IBA, Smoger said that "Klaus and I will officiate for other professional boxing organizations if requested. However, our primary focus is on all IBA sanctioned events. This takes priority over all other events and assignments."

A rally school, drift cars, and a dirt course covered in snow, this is where we found ourselves this past Saturday. ClubLoose North and Team O'Neil Rally School partnered up for Snow Drift; where the Drifters from ClubLoose could unleash their drift missles on a snowy rally course.
The normal parking lot at New Hampshire Motor Speedway had been cast aside for a winding dirt road, tucked in the backwoods of New Hampshire. The course, where the student drivers at Team O'Neil normally learn car control on their way into the rally world, was handed over to the fun loving drift group and a different style of racing was unleashed. The Rally drivers didn't miss out on all the action either, with several Rally cars hitting the course, forgetting about racing lines and only trying to get as sideways as possible and match the drift cars.
Despite the cold, everyone was in great spirits and looking forward to hitting the road. The day was filled with the sound of roaring engines and cheers from the specators set a great atmosphere for the days racing. It was a great day with fans of both sports enjoying the exposé of skills and bravery. If you missed it, sadly you are going to have to wait until next years event, and we hope to see you out there.
With a big thank you to ClubLoose and Team O'Neil for putting on a great event, please be sure to check out ClubLoose North and Team O'Neil on Facebook, making sure to catch as many of their events this season.


ST. LOUIS – The CEO of a fishing store chain and the former governor of a state home to refuges and national parks announced the roster of a Blue Ribbon Panel for sustainable fishing at the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) annual meeting in St. Louis.
Founded and co-chaired by Bass Pro Shops CEO Johnny Morris and former Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal, the national Blue Ribbon Panel on Sustaining America's Diverse Fish and Wildlife Resources will feature at least 27 members, 20 of whom were announced Sept. 22 at the AFWA meeting.
The additinal panelists and four ex-officio members will be added to the roster before the panel's first meeting in 2015.
The mission of the panel is to recommend policy options for funding sustainability models.
According to AFWA, the 20 people announced to the panel's roster hail from manufacturers, outdoor recreational retail companies, energy, the automotive industry, educational institutions, conservation organizations, fish and wildlife agencies and sportsmen's groups.
In seeking a model to fund sustainable programs, the Blue Ribbon Panel aims to prevent "new endangered species listings" but still preserve outdoor recreational lifestyles.
According to AFWA, funding for the State and Tribal Grants Program, the only federal mechanism to prevent new endangered species listing, was cut by more than 35 percent since 2010 compared to a 1,000 percent increase in petitions for endangered species listings.
More about the panel can be found online at fishwildlife.org/blueribbonpanel.

Fire destroys home in Portsmouth
Derek Gomes
Gomes@NewportRI.com
PORTSMOUTH — There were no injuries in a two-alarm fire that destroyed a home and damaged two others in the Sunny Acres neighborhood on Sunday morning.
Multiple calls came in to the Portsmouth Fire Department at 10:19 a.m. By the time firefighters arrived at the scene off Bristol Ferry Road, one home at 31 North Drive was "fully engulfed" in flames, according to Portsmouth Fire Chief Michael Cranson.
Portsmouth police officers arrived shortly before firefighters and evacuated occupants from homes on either side of the fire.
The owner of the destroyed residence said he heard a "popping noise" and saw a small fire around his furnace. After unsuccessfully trying to extinguish the fire, he and his girlfriend, along with two dogs and a cat, escaped the home unharmed, Cranson told The Daily News on Monday.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the town and state fire marshals.
Trailer homes on either side of the blaze were damaged because of the "extreme heat," according to a statement from the Portsmouth Fire Department. One of those homes cannot be occupied because of the damage, Cranson said.
The home where the fire started was reduced to charred remains and was cordoned off with tape as of Monday morning. On the home to its right, the siding was singed.
Firefighters were spared precious seconds because the complex's maintenance person had cleared snow around the fire hydrant at the front of the complex on Saturday.
"He saved us valuable time," Cranson said.
The weather conditions make firefighting more difficult. "The water is freezing. Ice is everywhere. Fighting the fire in a foot-and-a-half of snow makes it treacherous to move and extend the hose," the chief said.
The American Red Cross provided assistance for the residents affected by the fire.

Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Blasey Ford To Testify Thursday
By Kelsey Snell • Sep 23, 2018
Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee listen on the first day of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing on Sept. 4. Kavanaugh will appear before the committee again this week.

Originally published on September 23, 2018 6:08 pm
Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her more than 30 years ago, will testify Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Attorneys for Ford reached an agreement with committee staff on Sunday after days of negotiations over the conditions and details of her appearance. The terms of their agreement provide that Kavanaugh will also appear before the committee, but he will not be in the room while Ford is speaking or being questioned.
Ford alleges that Kavanaugh attacked her at a high school party in the 1980s when they were teenagers. She says Kavanaugh was drunk at the time and forced her onto a bed and groped her before she was able to get away. Kavanaugh strongly denies the allegations and has said he is eager to speak to the committee.
The two sides finalized the date and time of the hearing over email. Ford's attorneys say they are still negotiating "a number of important procedural and logistical issues." The lengthy talks were hampered by a disagreement over who will question Ford at the hearing, according to an email exchange obtained by NPR.
Republican committee staff told Ford's attorneys that they would be unwilling to accept what they characterized as a "demand" that only senators be permitted to ask questions of the witnesses.
The staff wrote in one email that Grassley asked them to convey that "the Committee determines which witnesses to call, how many witnesses to call, in what order to call them, and who will question them. These are non-negotiable."
Committee staff has agreed to several additional requests from Ford and her attorneys. They agreed to limit press access to the hearing, including allowing only one television camera in the hearing room. The two sides agreed to give equal time to all senators who wish to question Ford and to allow "adequate breaks" during the hearing.
They also agreed to increased security for Ford and Kavanaugh. Both have received death threats that have grown more intense over time.

Harvard is the Best for 13th Year Straight- Shanghai Rankings 2015
Shanghai Academic Rankings are one of the most prestigious in the world. Here is a brief report on the 2015 edition.
BY Skendha Singh | 31-08-2015
When choosing a University, students look for the stature and 'brand' of the institution. One of the biggest brandings for an institution is the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). These are alternatively known as the Shanghai Rankings. The 2015 edition was released in August by the Center for World-Class Universities at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
From 2003, ARWU has been presenting the world's Top 500 universities annually. ARWU adopts six objective indicators to rank world universities, including the number of alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, the number of Highly Cited Researchers, the number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science, the number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index - Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, and per capita performance. More than 1200 universities are ranked every year and the best 500 universities are published.
For the 13th year in a row, Harvard University took the number one spot. Stanford came second, followed by MIT, University of California-Berkeley, Cambridge, Princeton, Caltech, Columbia, Chicago and Oxford.
In Continental Europe, ETH Zurich (20th) took first place, and University of Copenhagen (35th) overtook Pierre & Marie Curie (36th) as the second best university in this region. In Asia, University of Tokyo (21st) and Kyoto University (26th) kept their leading positions. University of Melbourne (44th) topped other universities in Oceania. University of Warwick (92nd) entered the Top 100 list for the first time. 11 universities broke into the Top 500 list in 2015, including Queensland University of Technology in Australia and Sharif University of Technology in Iran.
The Center for World-Class Universities also released the 2015 Academic Ranking of World Universities by Broad Subject Fields (ARWU-FIELD) and 2015 Academic Ranking of World Universities by Subject Fields (ARWU-SUBJECT).
The best five universities out of 200 in five broad subject fields are as follows:
Natural Sciences and Mathematics – Berkeley, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford and Caltech
Engineering/Technology and Computer Sciences – MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, UIUC and UT Austin
Life and Agriculture Sciences – Harvard, Cambridge, Stanford, MIT and UC San Francisco
Clinical Medicine and Pharmacy – Harvard, UC San Francisco, Washington (Seattle), Johns Hopkins and Stanford
Social Sciences – Harvard, Chicago, MIT, Columbia and Berkeley
Mathematics – Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, Pierre & Marie Curie
The top 5 Universities by subject fields are as follows:
Physics – Berkeley, Princeton, Harvard, MIT and Caltech
Chemistry – Berkeley, Harvard, Stanford, Caltech and Northwestern (Evanston)
Computer Science – Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, Harvard and Princeton
Economics/Business – Harvard, Chicago, MIT, Berkeley and Columbia
Before choosing a University, a students must make sure that the ranking of an institution is not the only factor influencing his or her decision. It is best to keep rankings in perspective when shortlisting colleges. Both the President of the University of Houston, Dr. Renu Khator, and College Board's India rep, Lisa Jain, have some good advice to give in this context.
Rankings like ARWU can list some of the best performing universities, but only the students can decide if the best is also the right fit for him or her.

This is the first English translation of the last chapter of Al-Ghazali's Revival of the Religious Sciences (Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din), widely regarded as the greatest work of Muslim spirituality. After expounding his Sufi philosophy of death and showing the importance of the contemplation of human mortality to the mystical way of self-purification, Ghazali takes his readers through the stages of the future life: the vision of the Angels of the Grave, the Resurrection, the Intercession of the Prophet, and finally, the torments of Hell, the delights of Paradise and - for the elect - the beatific vision of God's Countenance.
Know that the heart of the man who is engrossed in this world and is given over to its vanities and harbours love for its appetites must certainly be neglectful of the remembrance of death. Thus falling to recall it, when reminded of it he finds it odious and shies away. Such are the people of whom God has said: Say: Lo! the death from which ye shrink will surely meet you, and afterward ye will be returned unto the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.
'Now, men may be either engrossed [in the world], penitent beginners, or arrived gnostics. The man engrossed does not remember death, or, if he does, it is with regret for his world, and he busies himself with disparaging death. The remembrance of death increases such a one in nothing but distance from God.
The penitent man recalls death frequently, so that fear and apprehension might thereby proceed from his heart, making his repentance complete. It may be that he is in fear of death lest it carry him off before his repentance is complete and before his provisions for the journey are replenished; lie is excusable in his aversion to death, and is riot included in the saying of the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace): 'Whosoever would abhor meeting with God, God abhors meeting with him'. Such a man does not abhor death and meeting God, but only fears the meeting with God passing him by as a result of his deficiency and remissness. He is like the man who is made late for a meeting with his beloved by busying himself with preparations for the encounter in a way that will find approval: he is not deemed to be reluctant about the meeting! The distinguishing mark of the penitent man is his constant preparation for this matter and his lack of any other concern. Were he to be otherwise he would associate with the man engrossed in the world.
Thus it is that the penitent man may be excused the aversion he feels for death, while another is excusable in loving it and longing for it. And higher than either of them is the degree of he that has entrusted his affair to God (Exalted is He!) and no longer prefers death or life for himself, for the dearest of things to him is that which is more beloved in the sight of his Lord. By virtue of profound love and loyalty this man has arrived at the station of absolute surrender and contentment, which is the goal, and the utmost limit.
But whatever the situation may be, in the recollection of death there is reward and merit. For even the man engrossed in the world benefits from it by acquiring an aversion to this world, since it spoils his contentment and the fullness of his pleasure; and everything which spoils for man his pleasures and his appetites is one of the means of deliverance.

I have really struggled to put into words and select the respective imagery to try and convey just how brilliant it all was. It's been on my hard drive for 11 months.
Mairin, Colin and their entire family and friends at the wedding were like one collective group. From the youngest person there to the oldest, they all had that the sharpest wit, the best laughs, the most creative of spirits. A thread of connection linked everyone there. Not just the bride and groom.
One of my favourite books as a child was "Anne of the Island", the 4th book in the Anne of Green Gables series. In the book Anne meets an elderly man, Captain Jim. Even though they are generations apart they become firm friends, in Captain Jims words, they are "kindred spirits".
And thats the only way I can convey this.
At the marquee erected at Mairins own home, there was a definite assembling of kindred spirits. Young and old, everyone brought the same energy. Brilliant fun and positive vibes in droves. I looked on with my camera and felt really privileged to shoot this lovely homemade wedding, with everyone so chilled out and just loving life.
As the sun set, Mairin and Colin were kind enough to jump into the back of my old jeep (on its last spin as I sold it the next day!) We hoofed it up a grassy hill, praying I didn't get bogged, and got the most lovely shots of them overlooking were they came from and listening to the crowd laughing in the marquee below. The balloons were just a whim I bought that morning as I just thought Mairin has a really sunny soul. She seemed so full of colour!

I pretended to be a male gamer to avoid harassment
Brittany, as told to Alice Williams
"I never thought of it as being deceptive, because why should anyone care?"
A few years ago, I got into playing video games online with a former boyfriend. We played MMO's (Massively Multiplayer Online Games) with hundreds of other people from all over the world. They're very competitive in terms of skill and equipment, and soon I was playing at the top level.
But playing as a woman at that level soon became a hassle, because other players just didn't believe that I was a girl. They were always asking me to prove it, but whenever I did the response would be the same. If I made a mistake it'd be "You're shit because you're a girl", and if I did, well it'd be "You only have good equipment because people want to f--k you." After that I just played as a male character and had no problems.
I never thought of it as being deceptive, because why should anyone care? Besides, playing as a male character was actually more fun. Other players were way more competitive and didn't pull their punches, whereas [when I played as female] there'd be a lot of condescending gestures. They'd tell me you how to do things I didn't need help with. And when I did well, there was an undertone of "you achieved it because you got help".
Things went along smoothly until I started playing at the top level of WoW (World of Warcraft). To participate, you have to join a 'guild' -- a large group of people who can commit to playing for long sessions. Being allowed into a guild is like a job interview, and as part of that process (like proving I had access to voice chat) I had to reveal that I was a girl.
I got used to players in my guild being overly friendly, but one guy went a little bit further. Somehow he found out my last name, and I think he started monitoring my social media. He'd message me within the game with these really offhand personal comments like "I really like your new haircut". I think it was just a really awkward attempt at creating intimacy by acting as though we were friends, but it was creepy.
I tried to be sisterly about it. I told him I didn't remember telling anyone I'd had a haircut, and he replied that since my usernames were all pretty similar, it wasn't hard to find my accounts. Perhaps he thought I'd be impressed by his ardour?
When I told him what he was doing was inappropriate, the harrassment immediately escalated.
He found out more personal information and started sending me sexually explicit emails. Somehow, he also found out my home address.
All the communication within the game had been private. He'd tried to separate me from the group so no one else knew, but a couple of people in the guild were aware of what was going on. Opinions were divided; some thought the problem was best solved by simply not allowing women into the guild. One member suggested kicking the aggressor out. But in the end, I didn't want to be blamed for splitting up the guild – 'the Yoko'. So I kept quiet.
I know so many female players who've had to deal with 'creepers'. I think it stems from a genuine lack of understanding about how to approach women. Those who take it further are probably intimidated about talking to women in the real world. They start with friendship, and you don't think twice about it. Then they go for more, and when you say no, things can get aggressive.
While Gamergate was initiated by someone who couldn't deal with rejection, it morphed into something else, galvanising the undercurrent of anger towards women in the community. When these guys can't deal with something they subvert it, and online there are no consequences.
The letters to my home address became increasingly sexually violent. In my aggressor's threats, he'd refer to clothes I was wearing in photos I only shared with friends. I used to lie awake and think about what he might do.
Eventually I managed to find out that the guy harassing me lived in the States. It was a huge relief. I changed my email and blocked every social media account I didn't know, and eventually he disappeared.
Like many women, I looked for ways I may have contributed to the incident. 'If only I hadn't been nice,' or 'Did I give him false hope?' What makes me mad about Gamergate is that that too is all about victim blaming. Arguments like 'If she didn't want to be harassed, she shouldn't have said anything in the first place" completely shut down any meaningful debate.
Gaming culture has changed a lot, and there are a lot more women active in games. But I had such a bad experience that it's made me quite jaded. If I ever did go back to playing online I'd make sure any accounts I used in gaming weren't traceable to my online identity.

Q: How to log all incoming messages from Akka (Java) In Scala you can wrap the receive function with a LoggingReceive. How do you achieve the same from the Java API?
def receive = {
  LoggingReceive {
    case x ⇒ // do something
  }
}

A: The Scala API has the LoggingReceive decorator because a partial function literal makes it awkward to express something to be done in all cases (like this logging).
In Java you don't have this problem because your onReceive method is always called, and you can put a logging statement at the top to see all messages which are received by the actor. As an added bonus you get to decide at which level to log them ;-)
If you want to make your logging conditional on the config setting akka.actor.debug.receive (just as for Scala), then you can say for example
if (getContext().system().settings().AddLoggingReceive())
  log.debug("received message of type {}", msg.getClass());

"A musician completely absorbed in his craft," is how the Washington Post described Stephen Kovacevich in 2018, adding that "Kovacevich's interpretations are like no one else's and always emanate directly from the heart." It will be six years since the American-born pianist last appeared at the Verbier Festival and he returns with a programme of early and late Brahms and Schubert's epically scaled final sonata. Gramophone has written of Kovacevich that "few pianists have penetrated more deeply to the dark, restlessly beating heart beneath Schubert's outwardly genial surface."

Today's Vinnie Jones game launch redefines online roulette
Vinnie Jones Stories Roulette, the third instalment in Real Dealer's series of games featuring the legendary tough guy, blurs lines between entertainment genres by combining elements of a no-holds-barred interview with classic European roulette.
During each round of the game, the iconic tough guy answers a different fan question while his co-host, played by actress Rachael Bower (Twin Peaks), spins the wheel. The longer a player stays at the table, the more they'll hear Vinnie's stories about football, acting, life and more.
This hybrid style of entertainment is possible thanks to cinematic RNG, an innovative process created by Real Dealer whereby cinema-quality recorded video is integrated into a random number generator-based game framework. The approach closely mirrors that of Hollywood filmmaking, with professional actors, directors and production crew delivering polished footage of dealers and gameplay.
The extensive Q&A required for Vinnie Jones Stories Roulette was conducted on a Los Angeles sound stage this spring as part of the filming for the studio's wider Vinnie Jones games series. Questions such as 'How did things change for you after the Gazza incident?' and 'Where have you been banned for life and why?' numbered in the hundreds.
"That was, hands down, the longest interview I've ever had," Vinnie joked at the time of the production.
The game sees Vinnie responding to the questions in his famously direct fashion, providing answers – often laced with profanity – that are at times jokey, at others honest and revealing. However, Shane Cotter, Chief Product Officer at Real Dealer Studios, notes that the game's appeal will go far beyond die-hard fans.
"In addition to everything else he is, Vinnie's simply a consummate professional and a fantastic entertainer. And as you'd imagine, he has an endless supply of crazy stories to tell, so there's a lot to see," Cotter said.
Vinnie Jones Stories Roulette is part of a series that includes Vinnie Jones Roulette, launched in September, and Vinnie Jones Blackjack, launched in early November. Additional Vinnie Jones titles are planned for release in 2023.
Real Dealer titles are available exclusively from Games Global.

FAVBET is doing away with the practice of creating several wallets in the player's personal account on favbet.com in favor of its own Single Wallet solution which makes it much easier for users to manage their accounts. Migration to the new system is automatic and will not require any action from users.
The Single Wallet replaces the previous system where casino players and bettors had to create a separate account called "wallet" for each payment method without the ability to transfer funds between different wallets. In contrast to the previous approach, the Single Wallet combines all user accounts into one that allows deposits and withdrawals using different cards and payment systems.
The key advantage that FAVBET users get after switching to the Single Wallet is one account for all payment methods. Now, there is no need to create separate wallets for debit cards, Skrill, or other payment methods.
"This is not an update to the existing system, but rather a solution developed from the ground up that not only adds convenience but also significantly increases the capabilities of our platform. On the surface, the changes don't seem like much, but what we created here is in fact a full-fledged banking system that is similar in its functionality and efficiency to the solutions used by the leading financial institutions," says Serhii Kostiushkin, Head of Engineering at Betinvest.
According to the company's tech lead, developing the new system was unavoidable as the previous solution was created quite a while ago and could no longer keep up with the company's growth and user numbers. Additionally, its outdated architecture significantly complicated financial accounting and put excessive load on the platform. The new system processes five times more transactions while being much more stable and not requiring as many resources.
The Single Wallet approach is now a standard for the world's leading sportsbooks and casinos. Now, all of its advantages are available to favbet.com users.
