La Società per la pace e la giustizia internazionale è un'associazione storica creata nel 1887 dal premio Nobel Ernesto Teodoro Moneta

Storia
L'associazione fondata nel 1887 da Ernesto Teodoro Moneta che ebbe il premio Nobel per la Pace (nel 1907), venne poi guidata dal fratello della nuora Augusta Rosetti, moglie di Luigi Moneta Caglio, suo primogenito, Doro Rosetti.

Sciolta con decreto prefettizio del 5 maggio 1937, venne ripristinata con decreto del Prefetto della liberazione, Riccardo Lombardi del 24 luglio 1945.

La presidenza venne nuovamente assunta da Doro Rosetti (morto nel 1963), con il segretario Gaspare Vezzoli. A Rosetti succedettero Eucardio Momigliano, Giuseppe Tramarollo e Giulio Polotti. Alla morte di Polotti, nel 1999, la guida passò a Walter Galbusera (presidente) e Renato Ferrari (segretario tesoriere), che diedero nuovo impulso alle attività della Società.

La sede, dapprima a Milano, poi a Pavia, dal 1º settembre 2012 è ospitata nei locali della fondazione Anna Kuliscioff a Milano.

London is not just a city. It's a dazzling variety of experiences waiting to be enjoyed. And to really make the most of your visit, it helps to know someone in the know.
I fell in love with this amazing city over thirty years ago. Today I'm proud to call myself a Londoner. I'm even prouder to be a qualified London Blue Badge guide who can help make your stay in London as unique and unforgettable as this great city itself.
I'll bring the picture postcards to life. At the Tower of London, we'll walk through 1000 years of royal history, uncovering dark stories of treachery, murder and execution. At Westminster Abbey we'll see the spot where monarchs are crowned and where they are laid to rest.
If museums and galleries are your thing, I'll take you straight to the highlights of the vast British Museum Collection and the star attractions of the National Gallery or Tate Modern. Or join me at the National Portrait Gallery and come face to face with some of the most famous (and infamous) people in history.
Love to stray off the beaten track? So do I. How about a walk in the old City to discover hidden courtyards and alleyways most Londoners have never seen? Or cross the river to track down the bear pits, taverns and theatres of Shakespeare's Southwark. Or discover one of London's unique neighbourhoods like Bloomsbury, Spitalfields or Marylebone - all with their own distinct character and fascinating stories to explore.
I also offer themed walks including:
Bloody London- a gruesome foray into the world of murder, executions, body snatchers and more.
Dickens' London - discover the places, people and experiences that shaped the life and work of Britains' most famous author.
Scandals of Soho - strictly adults only, this tour introduces you to this fascinating (and notorious) district, the home of legendary artists, writers, revolutionaries and eccentrics.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you discover your London.
History especially royalty. Shakespeare, Dickens and literary London. Markets. Pubs and afternoon tea. And seeking out London's hidden gems.
Follow in the footsteps of kings and queens. Hear stories of intrigue and executions, royal romances and daily life at Kensington Palace, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and Hampton Court.
Discover the London that inspired our greatest writers including Shakespeare's Southwark and the North bank where the young Charles Dickens survived desperate poverty to become the most successful writer of his time.
From the chic boutiques of Mayfair and the King's Road, to the eclectic crafts and fashion of Spitalfields and Brick Lane markets, you'll find lots to tempt you in London.
History & Prehistory
You've seen them in books and in the movies. But nothing beats seeing these iconic London sights for yourself: Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, Changing of the Guard, The British Museum, St Paul's Cathedral.
Discover London's most fascinating neighbourhoods:
Bloomsbury - a unique neighbourhood which has inspired generations of writers such as Dickens, Orwell and Peter Pan creator, JM Barrie as well as artists, academics and medical pioneers.
Marylebone - elegant streets and green squares, home to aristocrats and artists, painters and pop stars and one of London's best but least known galleries.
The City of London - 21st century skyscrapers. medieval alleyways and a thousand years of history to explore in London's buzzing financial district.
Spitalfields - walk through atmospheric, Instagrammable streets. Discover stories of Roman settlers, Huguenot refugees and London's most infamous serial killer. Then enjoy a bite to eat and some retail therapy at the fabulous covered market.
I love guiding corporate/college groups. As well as the usual sights, I am happy to tailor tours according to your interests or location.

So now I'm not content with the Paleocene, and I want to deal with the lower Cretaceous?
Actually, this comes from a blog discussion I got sucked into on at SVPOW, on a really interesting Sauropod reconstruction by Brian Engh. As I noted over there, I'm posting some first thoughts on dinosaur-plant interactions over here.
For fun, I've been writing a time travel story set in the Paleocene, and so I've gotten interested in the weirdness one runs into going back in time. It's another facet of worldbuilding, except that, instead of setting it on an alien planet far, far away, I'm trying to figure out the deep past.
The central problem is, I think, one of modern perceptions. To demonstrate, I'm going to choose three very different ecosystems: redwood forest, Midwestern prairie, and California needlegrass grassland. The redwoods have been around for a *very long* time, and even into the Paleocene, they were dominant in a lot of places, with ferns growing in the open fields around them (grasses didn't really show up until the Oligocene, if I remember correctly). Most people's view of the redwoods is this quiet place where the biomass is 99.9% plant and the herbivores are mostly absent. Fire is mostly absent too: they call the redwoods "the asbestos forest" for good reason.
Contrast the redwoods with the prairie, where the interaction between grasses and grazers pretty much dominates the system. Prairie grasses tolerate grazing and fire, usually much better than other plants tolerate grazing and fire. But it's really about grazing, and when you remove the grazers, it's hard to keep the woody plants from taking over. It's a neat trick: everything gets eaten, but the grasses simply regrow better.
Contrast both with the California grasslands, where there were few (if any) grazers for the last 10,000 years or so. California native grasses are horrible at tolerating grazing. They can be mowed once per year, and that only about 1ft. off the ground. More mowing than that, and they die. But they tolerate fire just fine.
Getting back to the sauropods, I criticized Brian's reconstruction of the great beasts knocking down the forest, and he (quite properly) took exception. But to me it is a paradox: why would there be a coniferous forest there at all? All those enormous dinosaurs, which ranged from the size of hippos to medium-sized whales, were living on a diet of conifers, possibly ferns, and possibly cycads and cycadeoids. If you think about this for a while, you realize how very bizarre it sounds. From the fossil evidence, it appears that conifers and ferns are good food, and that doesn't make a lot of sense. Sure, deer go after arborvitae and yews, but they kill the conifers. And ferns are full of fascinating carcinogens, while cycads are possibly even more nasty and tough. And very slow growing. If animals don't routinely eat conifers and ferns today, why were the biggest land animals of all time chowing down on them 24/7 a hundred million years ago?
So, how do you grow a sauropod on such a crappy diet? The best answer I can come up with is that, back in the Mesozoic, there must have been another guild of plants around. These were conifers and ferns (if not cycads and gnetales) that used the prairie grass trick. They tolerated browsing, because it killed off their competitors and they could regrow. With the dinosaurs extinct, the plants collectively switched to a strategy of repelling smaller herbivores (mammals and insects), just as the native grassland species did in California. This is the Paleocene environment I've been researching, and we still see it in places like Papua New Guinea.
What did the mesozoic browsed conifers look like? That's another problem I'm having. I don't know of a modern conifer that tolerates browsing well. However, there were lots of extinct conifers back then. Ferns too. Still, I'm guessing that the Mesozoic forests had more in common with prairies than they do with the redwood cathedrals of today. They were heavily browsed, and seedlings probably recruited in meso-sites where the dinosaurs couldn't eat them. They probably also root-sprouted readily, just as modern redwoods do.
As for size, I suspect that the tallest mesozoic conifers simply overtopped even the giant sauropods. But I don't think they got as big as do modern trees, because of the respiration problem. Plants respire just as animals do, and plant respiration rates depend on temperature. There's a reason that the really big trees grow where it's cool and wet. It's easy for them to generate a huge carbon surplus for wood in an environment like that, and the wet weather and fog helps them maintain the positive water balance to keep the tree tops hydrated. A tree in a hot, dry environment simply can't grow that big, because it has less surplus carbon to put into wood (more carbon went into feeding hot cells), and there is less water to feed the high branches. As I understand it, the Jurassic was (on average) hotter and drier than today, so I'd guess that Jurassic conifers weren't the giants we see today. And while some of them could overtop even Sauroposeidon, I suspect that many had to live out their lives in the browsing zone, forming some sort of weird multilayered conifer fern multiprairie/savanna.
Long, rambling post, and I'd welcome your thoughts. As I noted above, I'm ultimately interested in trying to get my head around what the Cretaceous looked like. The Paleocene I understand to some degree, but the Mesozoic is a new world to me, and a very strange one. It's fun to figure out how to do justice to it properly in art or literature.
Charlie Stross has posted another neat topic on his blog.
In other news, there's an interesting SF Novel, Scion of the Zodiac up on Smashwords and Lulu, and the author is mumbling something about putting it on Amazon and other similar sites, unless a publisher buys it first.
If you're interested in hard science fiction with a huge dose of biology, environmental ideas, sustainability, dragons, and neat microbes, you might like this one. Check it out.
I'll post links to the novel as I get them.
UPDATE: Currently the story is available at Smashwords and Lulu. Getting it spread more widely is proving interesting.

SUPPORTING LGBT PARENTING
Same-sex and LGBT Intended Parents Face Unique Challenges
Even though the legalization and growing acceptance of same-sex marriage are steps in the right direction, same-sex couples and LGBT individuals continue to face unique legal challenges.
While legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States and other parts of the world has made it easier for LGBT people to establish parentage of their children born via assisted reproductive technology, experienced legal counsel is still essential.
Some states still require that non-biological parents adopt their child. In other jurisdictions intended parents must be legally married in order to have a child via surrogacy, but statutes have not been changed to accommodate same-sex parents. In many countries, gay fathers may not register their child born abroad via surrogacy as a citizen of their home country without the surrogate's name on the birth certificate.
IFLG founder Rich Vaughn and husband Tommy Woelfel are parents of twin boys born via egg donation and surrogacy and long-standing advocates of LGBT equality and reproductive rights. IFLG offers expert, culturally sensitive legal services to help LGBT and same-sex intended parents ensure their parental rights are established and their families are secure. Contact us today…
As LGBT community members and advocates, we understand the unique legal and societal challenges facing LGBT intended parents.

Many people don't get enough sleep at night due to tossing and turning all night and not falling into a deep slumber. Poor sleeping habits are like a boomerang, they leave your tired throughout the day, then you don't sleep well again at night and the scenario just keeps repeating itself. When you sleep well, you need fewer hours in the bed at night to wake up revitalized, refreshed and ready to start a new day. Some sleeping tips can help you to move less and rest more peacefully.
Just as you try to keep a baby or child on a sleep schedule, you should also set a sleep schedule for yourself as an adult. Set a time that you go to bed every night and wake up every morning at the same time. Don't sleep in late on your days off work, weekends or holidays. This can disrupt your sleeping cycle and confuse your body. The sleep-wake cycle is your circadian rhythm. Most people require about 8 hours of sleep and 16 hours of waking time in a 24-hour period to feel good and refreshed every day.
If you lie down and don't fall asleep within approximately 15 to 20 minutes, get up out of bed and do something that relaxes you, such as reading a book. When you begin to get tired, go back to bed. If you get uptight because you can't sleep, it will take longer to fall asleep at night.
Either eating a heavy meal or not eating enough can cause your tummy to be upset and not allow you to sleep well. If you eat your dinner at night early in the evening, you may find a light snack before bedtime will help you sleep. Maybe try a banana, a half sandwich or a cup of milk to satisfy your hunger.
Limit your liquids before bedtime to avoid waking up in the night for bathroom trips. You should avoid nicotine, caffeine and alcohol too. Nicotine and caffeine before bed can keep you awake for hours as they take some time for the waking effects to wear off. Alcohol can make you sleepy, but it can also disrupt your sleep for quite a while after you lie down.
The ideal room for sleeping is dark, quiet and cool. You can use blackout shades or curtains on your bedroom windows to keep outside noises from disturbing you and keep lights out of your room. Consider a fan in your room. Many people get used to the soothing sound and the air movement in their bedrooms and they actually need a fan on to fall asleep. There are also fan noisemakers and sleeping noisemakers that use soothing waves or birds calling to help people get to sleep.
Choose a mattress and pillow or pillows that are comfortable for you. Old mattresses break down, give you less body support and need replacing. You can try a new type of mattress that may be more comfortable than your old coil spring type. Memory foam, gel foam and natural latex are popular types that many chiropractors endorse for their comfort.
Make sure your bed is large enough for two people if someone sleeps with you. If you constantly run into your partner when you roll over, then you should choose a larger size bed. You may also decide not to let pets sleep with you because they tend to move a lot at night and can disturb your sleep.
If you take a nap in the daytime, because you don't get good sleep at night, it affects the level of deep sleep that you get in the night. If you must nap, set a clock for about 10 to 30 minutes for a catnap sometime in the afternoon.
People who exercise in any manner usually sleep better at night. Simple items like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, stretching, yoga and riding an exercise bike can help you to secure restful sleep. Don't exercise too close to bedtime though. Exercise can energize you and not allow you to fall asleep.
When you lie down to sleep and have stressful thoughts running through your mind, you most likely will not be able to fall asleep. Taking a warm shower before bedtime with a soothing lavender soap can help relax you. If you have too much to do the next day and feel you are falling behind, get organized and make a schedule or list of things you need to do. It helps to write things down and set them aside so they don't invade your sleep.

USA: George Clooney offers $ 1 million each to 14 of his friends
in USA Celebrities
The benevolence of Hollywood actor George Clooney to his friends has been revealed. In fact, the 56-year-old actor gave 14 of his closest friends a million dollars.
Rande Gerber, husband of Cindy Crawford and one of Clooney's friends has made this known on the US chain Headliners.
Gerber said Clooney called the group and said, " There's a group of guys we call 'The Boys'. George called me and the Boys and said 'Note on September 27, 2013 on your calendar, you are all invited to dine at my place. "
When the 14 friends arrived, they found a briefcase on the table for each guest.
Clooney said, " Listen, guys, I wanted to tell you how important you are in my life. When I arrived in LA, I slept on your couches. I'm so lucky to have you and I could not get where I am without you. So it was very important for me, since we are all here today, to reciprocate. I want you to open all your briefcase.
" We're opening it, and it's a million dollars in $ 20 bills, for each of us. We are in shock. "I know that we have all gone through difficult times, some of you are still doing it, you do not have to worry about your children …".
The actor also revealed that he had paid all taxes so they would not have to pay taxes on the money he gave them.
Gerber continued, saying he was uncomfortable taking the money since he himself is a billionaire. So, he took Clooney aside and told him how he felt and Clooney's reaction was hallucinating.
George told them, " I'm just going to make an announcement: if Rande does not take a million dollars, nobody will get it." Thinking of a man in their midst working in a bar and cycling to work just to support his family, Gerber took the money and gave everything to charity.

Be honest, did you do anything you're a little embarrassed about at the company do? Isn't it funny how you seem to have forgotten everything except for that 'moment'.
Not sure if you'd consider it a good thing but our websites remember everything. But they do have one big advantage over one's own rather selective memory. You can log in and edit that blog entry you made at 2.30am in the morning. Wouldn't it be nice if you could do that with other events of the night?
There is even version control. The system retains previous versions of an article so it is easy to go back a version or two if you're not happy with what you have done. If you really want to ensure only the correct stuff goes up on the website we can set up a 'sign off' process. So at least one other pair of eyes get to check before an item can go live.
It's all about making those slips that everybody makes less likely to be too public.


In 1980, MSSNY established the Henry I. Fineberg Award for Distinguished Service to MSSNY, to honor Dr. Henry Irwin Fineberg, for his many years of service to the society. Dr. Fineberg served as MSSNY Executive Vice-President from 1961 to 1982, and had served as president from 1959 to 1960. In 1974 and 1975, Dr. Fineberg saw the Society through its first modern liability insurance crisis, and helped found the physician-owned MLMIC. Dr. Fineberg died in 1987.
The President's Citizenship Award was created in 1961 and originally named the President's Citation. This award is presented to a physician who engages in long-term pro bono community service beyond the responsibilities related medical practice. Presentation of the award helps public attention to the good works carried out by physicians throughout the state.
The Young at Heart Award was established in 1994 by the Young Physician Section to honor MSSNY leaders who have given special support and guidance to young physicians during the formative years of the Young Physician Section, and to show the Section's appreciation of the efforts made on its behalf.
The Student Membership Award, first presented in 1992, recognizes outstanding efforts in membership recruitment for the Medical Student Section. The award is presented annually to the student responsible for the largest percentage increase in medical student membership at his or her school.

Mudcrutch "Mudcrutch"
Today's "Cool Album of the Day" is the debut self-titled album by "Mudcrutch."
I'll be the first to admit, I've never been the biggest Tom Petty fan. Don't get me wrong, I think he's OK. I've liked some of this work but I think the best thing he ever did was his original single 'American Girl' and that was 1976.
But however, I really liked his "Mudcrutch" album.
Here's what Mudcrutch was all about. They were Petty's first band formed in 1970. The band did include a number of 'Heartbreakers.' They released a single and never amounted to all that much.
Here's the lineup, Tom Petty on vocals and BASS guitar. Mike Campbell on lead guitar, Benmont Tench on keyboards, vocals. Randall Marsh on drums and Tom Leadon on rhythm guitar and backing vocals.
Tom Leadon is the brother of Bernie Leadon. You of course know Bernie from the Flying Burrito Brothers and some other band named after a popular American bird.
Another I liked about "Mudcrutch" is that it was recorded live in studio. It's a shame that more acts don't do that.
Highlights, lets go with the traditional 'Shady Grove.' (Think the Dillards on The Andy Griffith Show.) 'Lover of the Bayou.' This was an old Byrds song that was always very hard to find. In fact, I'm pretty sure they only place to find it was on a live album. 'Topanga Cowgirl, Bootleg Flyer' and 'Scare Easy.'
"Mudcrutch" debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart.
It was produced by Tom Petty, Mike Campbell and Ryan Ulyate.
The band did a short tour and released a follow up live EP later in 2008 called "Extended Play Live."

The Byrds "Sweethearts of the Rodeo"
Today's Cool Album of the Day is the 1968 release by The Byrds, "Sweethearts of the Rodeo."
Quite simply, a masterpiece. Was it the first country rock album? That's debatable.
There has been so much written and discussed about this music that I'm not even going to try and invent an original idea.
Just listen to the music. I'd have loved to have heard Roger McGuinn and Gram Parsons stay together longer. But then Gram might not have gone on to to record two other great pieces of music (Gram Parsons and GP). And maybe he wouldn't have gone on to discover (along with Chris Hillman) EmmyLou Harris.
Some of the classic songs here are Bob Dylan's 'You Aint Goin' Nowhere, You're Still On My Mind.' Woodie Guthrie's 'Pretty Boy Floyd,' and of course, GP's 'Hickory Wind.'

Exhibition: 7 March – 14 April, Wednesday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm.
Artikinesis will be presenting a room-sized artwork exploring our relationship with trees.
Visitors can watch the artwork as it grows in the week before the exhibition opens, and later immerse themselves in the installation. Integrating painted and projected artwork with a haunting soundtrack composed for the work, it will be a calm space in an urban setting, a chance to contemplate what trees have to offer humanity. What answers do they hold to the problems we face as a species and as individuals? Should we be seeking to renew our acquaintance with our earthy, earthly companions? We owe the trees a great deal: since primeval times, these beneficial beings have cleansed our air; they have provided us with shelter, fuel, food and medicine. Do they speak among themselves? Do they seek to communicate with us?
Elinor, Rosemary, Amanda and Adeliza are very excited to be working with Sticks Contemporary and Liveartlocal CIC for this project.


Here is a lovely panorama of I68 in western Maryland and the Appalachian Mountains.
The Atlantic Coast of Maryland is two barrier islands. Fenwick Island is North and is mostly the summer vacation site Ocean City. The Southern Island is Assateague Island and holds Asateague Island National Seashore. This habitat is protected from development to protect the native wildlife that includes wild horses. The classic children's story of Misty comes from these horses.
The battle of Antietam is considered to be the bloodiest day of war in America's history with over 20,000 casualties. General Robert E. Lee led the confederate troops against the federal army of General George B. McClellan. Harpers Ferry is in West Virginia and was important at the beginning of the Civil War. The Potomac and the Shenandoah rivers meet there in the mountains for some fantastic scenery.

From microphones to barbecue, Smyrna's Jeff Shipley sets high standard
Cecil Joyce | Murfreesboro Daily News Journal
VIDEO: Smyrna's Jeff Shipley behind the mic
Smyrna High football and basketball public address announcer Jeff Shipley has been a fixture at Bulldog athletic events for more than 25 years.
Jeff Shipley likes to stay busy.
The Smyrna graduate wears many hats, ranging from his full-time job with UPS to dabbling in a barbecue business to coaching softball at Stewarts Creek Middle School.
But his No. 1 passion might be as the public address announcer for football and basketball games at his alma mater. Shipley is the dean of announcers in Rutherford County, having called basketball games since 1993 and football games since 1994.
"I had wanted to go to school to be a DJ in radio and didn't pursue it," said Shipley, 56. "I had mentioned to (former long-time principal) Mr. (Bud) Raikes that if he ever needed someone, I would be interested, and he offered me the basketball job (1993) and during the next school year he called me mid-season and offered me football. He called me on a Thursday night to start the next night at the homecoming game."
Thank you for being a subscriber. Your support allows us to write the stories that matter to you and our community.
There's no denying where Shipley's allegiance lies. His parents are 1962 Smyrna graduates. He graduated from Smyrna in 1981 and his sister in 1982.
"There's that saying ... once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog," Smyrna Principal Sherri Southerland said. "He's the one that coined (the phrase), 'Show them the purple, show them the gold.'
"Jeff is the perfect example of what you think of when you think of Smyrna tradition. Anytime Jeff talks about anything that has to do with Smyrna, you can see the pride in his eyes."
But Shipley doesn't let that affect the professionalism he displays when behind the microphone at Smyrna sporting events.

"There are standards that the TSSAA sets out," Shipley said. "A couple of times people have said, 'He's just a homer for Smyrna.' I give it both ways. I give my voice up for the visiting team and home team when they score."
Shipley also has announced sporting events at Stewarts Creek Middle School, MTSU and Cumberland University. He has been a fixture at the TSSAA BlueCross Bowl, where he will announce three state championship games (5A, 2A, 4A) this season.
"It's really a special time," Shipley said of announcing the state football games. "You have these guys who worked seven or eight months to get to this point, and it's cool to see them celebrate on the championship field, whether they're winners or losers, and how they put their heart into it."
But first he has at least one more Smyrna home game to get through; the Bulldogs play host to Independence at 7 p.m. Friday in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs.
He then will move on to announcing basketball before turning his attention to coaching. There's little time off of his "non-work" schedule.
"Usually my free time is in the summer, between coaching softball at Stewarts Creek Middle and announcing for Smyrna football," Shipley said. "There's usually a little time between seasons, but this year they're running into each other."
If that weren't enough, he manages to find time to operate a small barbecue business out of his home. That's something he probably will expand after he retires from UPS, where he serves as a health and safety supervisor.

"This is the third year having my own smoker," Shipley said. "I had a couple of buddies and we liked to cook and got started doing it. I was a cook at Waffle House and Cracker Barrel in high school. I've cooked my whole life. My grandmother had me cooking pies and cakes when I was young.
"I'm getting close to a time where hopefully I can retire from UPS (after 20 years of service). I'll still need to work. I'll only be 58 when I've had my 20 years in. I've got to supplement with something. It's fun."
He entered a recent Smyrna barbecue festival and took first place.
"I set the standard high," he said, with a laugh. "There's nowhere else to go but down."
Southerland called Shipley's barbecue "incredible."
Shipley doesn't foresee his announcing career at Smyrna ending soon, either. He loves doing it and has a good relationship with fellow area announcers.
"We have a good time," Shipley said. "We're just old guys who love high school sports."

Foreigners make comeback at the Pakistan Stock Exchange
Net buying stands at 15-month high, amounts to over $28 billion in September
Published: October 1, 2017
The five additions FTSE made from Pakistan were: MCB Bank, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines, Bank Alfalah, Millat Tractors and Thal Ltd. PHOTO: FILE
KARACHI: Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is, says American business tycoon, Warren Buffet. "The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well."
It seems that foreigners are paying heed to what Buffet said. In a new development, foreigners have staged a loud comeback at the local bourse, injecting a 15-month high value of over $28 million in September.
Of the past 15 months, foreigners have remained net buyers in just three months – with September being the third – while in the remaining months they remained net sellers.
Foreign buying has returned at a time when locals had chosen to remain on the sidelines, trade volumes had dried up and the benchmark index had dropped 22% to 41,206.99 points on August 31, 2017 from an all-time high closing of 52,876.46 points on May 24, 2017.
"The KSE-100 index gained 2.9% in September 2017 … on a quarterly basis, the benchmark index declined 8.9% in first quarter of fiscal year 2018 – the worst quarterly performance in 36 quarters or 9 years since Jun 2008/4QFY08," Topline Securities' analyst Adnan Sami Sheikh said in a note to clients.
Earlier, the PSX snatched the best Asian market title in calendar year 2016, but foreign investors remained net sellers of over $361 million at the market, according to National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited.
Last month (September), foreigners bought stocks in the banking sector worth $14.5 million, cements $11.6 million, fertilisers $10.9 million and oil marketing companies $9.5 million, but sold stocks in the oil and gas exploration and production companies sector worth $13.7 million, Sheikh added.
Analysts said foreign investors have made value buying in the said sectors. The banking stocks had overreacted to developments including Habib Bank Limited's New York branch fiasco, which it settled by paying a penalty of $225 million.
Besides, National Bank of Pakistan received two back-to-back setbacks as it unearthed a scam of Rs18.5 billion at Bangladesh branch and lost a litigation of Rs48 billion against its pensioners at the Supreme Court.
Similarly, fertiliser prices in international markets had shot to a recent time high of $290 per ton.
Additionally, significant recovery in international oil prices during the month attracted foreign investors to indulge in value buying.
Foreign investors were also estimated to inject up to $70 million in PSX names following FTSE, an international company specialising in index calculation, included five additional stocks from Pakistan in its Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index with effect from September 18, 2017.
The five additions FTSE made from Pakistan were: MCB Bank, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines, Bank Alfalah, Millat Tractors and Thal Ltd.
Earlier, foreigners injected $7.9 million in June 2017. The month had seen a return of the PSX to MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) after 9 years in the Frontier Markets Index.
Pakistan had estimated foreign buying worth $500 million in the event of PSX's return to MSCI EM – another international index service provider.
In actual, they invested larger part of the estimated amount in the event, but continued sale by the foreign 'passive funds' at the time reduced net foreign buying volume to mere $7.9 million.
Earlier, foreign investors injected slightly over $22 million in July 2016. This was last month that followed a long lull from foreign investors at the local bourse.

Every single domain name which is registered and hosted has a great deal of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be created by hand if required. For instance, the A record of a domain address is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the website is located; the MX records reveal where the e-mails are handled, while using an SRV record you can use a domain for unconventional purposes, for instance a Voice-over-IP service. To be able to create and modify particular records allows you to have different services with different providers if, for example, your current host provides dependable web hosting, but has troubles with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a certain company. While you must be able to set up and modify these records freely and without any limits as you own a given domain address, lots of companies charge extra to give you this option.
If you purchase a Linux shared web hosting package from us, you'll have full DNS control for every single domain address through your Hepsia hosting CP. With just a couple of mouse clicks you're going to be able to see all current records for a specific domain or subdomain, you can also create any kind of new record - A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, SRV, TXT and many others. These records can be used for many purposes - determining the web or email server, using a domain name for a VOIP host name, etc. You will also have the ability to set up private name servers for any domain address registered through our company. The DNS Records section of the Control Panel is user-friendly and with an in-depth Help section in which you can find more information concerning the function of the different records and the way to create them. The DNS management services come as a part of the plans and at no additional charge.
With our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages, you will have total control over the records of every domain address or subdomain hosted in the account. Our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with a simple-to-use tool, which will make the creation and management of DNS records super easy even if you have little experience or you have not done such a thing before. It will require no more than a few mouse clicks to set up or change any kind of record - A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, SRV, TXT. That way, you can choose the provider that you're going to use for a given service, so you can have your site here and the emails with a different company or vice versa, forward your Internet domains to other domains, set up a VOIP service that runs on its own server or even multiple servers, etc. The DNS management option is provided with each and every semi-dedicated plan by default and at no additional cost.

Q: does not show the default image when there is an error loading the product image I am using Vuetify and Nuxt.js.
After searching for products, a table is displayed with their list in the rows of which an image of each product is shown.
If the product does not have an image and a 404 error appears, then the default image should appear, which is stored in /assets/images/nofoto.png.
I also use v-hover for these images.
When the table is normally loaded, the image is not displayed by default,
but when you hover the mouse using v-hover to the place where the picture should be, then it appears.
If you remove v-hover, then the image by default does not show at all.
Tried using :eager="true" but it didn't work.
I thought the reason was dynamic :src and Webpack converts it to normal src, but attempts to fix it have failed.
Maybe I was wrong and that's not the point.
Tried looking for an answer in the Vuetify documentation but couldn't find anything on the matter other than :eager.
Can you please tell me what could be the reason that nofoto.png is not displayed immediately without hovering over v-hover?

Q: dual boot from two different harddrives, windows and lubuntu not working I have a computer with two harddrives. I first installed my Windows 8.1 on my ssd taking up the whole drive. Then on my second 2TB I made 3 partitions. 1TB is dedicated to external storage, 500GB is decidcated to lubuntu, 2GB to swap space, and the rest is just free. So after I installed Windows, I installed lubuntu on the 500GB partition. When the computer starts up I get a blank screen. I get two options for booting, from my ssd or cd drive, when I choose ssd the screen is blank, and there is no option to boot from my hhd which contains linux either. How can I fix this so I can boot from either linux or windows?

A: I think Grub is missing in your system, Try using this bootable iso Here to install GRUB on your machine. it's pretty straight forward. I had great success with this software Rescatuxin the past. Try using the Repair Boot option as well. Goodluck


Hey all you performers out there! I'm working on a small research paper and I'd love to have your input. If you have a minute or two, answer these questions and either leave them as a comment on this blog, or copy-paste them in an email to johanna.macdonald(at)gmail.com.
1. Are you a performer? If so, what kind of performance do you do?
2. In terms of performance, do you talk about a performer's "presence," and if so, what does it mean to you?
Performanssin suhteen, puhutko esiintyjän "läsnäolosta"? Jos kyllä, mitä se tarkoittaa sinulle?
3. How would you describe your presence when you are performing?
Miten luonnehtisit oma läsnäolosi, kun esität?
4. How would you describe another's presence when you are watching them perform?
Miten luonnehtisit toisen läsnäolo, kun katsot esitystä?
5. Where does your concept of a performer's presence come from?
Mista synty sinun esiintyjän läsnäolon kasitys?
Kiitos, thanks for your help and I'll let you know how my BIG old project pans out.
I was trained as a performer and performed from late 1990s to early 2000s. I now only teach and direct. The kind of work I make is usually referred to as Devised, Physical or Third Theatre.
When I did it, good performing felt like nothing. I mean it was sweaty and engaging, but 'on' just felt very quiet and even.
Depends on the person. I'm certainly looking for a quality of clear physical engagement and the sense that what I'm watching has been impeccably designed and examined. Of course, some performances are quite engaging without being as tight as I personally would make them that still are very compelling.
Sorry its short, hope it helps.

#WWDC16 – what you need to know
Date: March 21, 2016Author: dangreen4114 0 Comments
Tonight's WWDC was Apple's last before its 40th birthday next month. However, for a company well known for its surprise announcements, tonight's conference wasn't too explosive or revolutionary, but certainly shows a change in Apple's view of the iPhone and iPad line up. Here's a summary of the important bits…
This had been expected for some time now, and Apple didn't disappoint, with an updated and upgraded 4 inch iPhone, the SE. The smallest iPhone for several years, the SE is 'the most powerful 4-inch smartphone ever', with an A9 processing chip, the same as that found in its larger 6S sibling. With the SE also having Live Photos, 4K video and a 12 megapixel camera, Apple is certainly fighting to bring back customers who have lost interest in Apple for its larger phones or those who have been waiting to upgrade from the 5S but haven't been attracted to the larger models available.
And as expected, the 5S has finally bowed out after many years of service – meaning all of Apple's current line-up are all relatively new.
iPad Pro (9.7inch version)
In another highly anticipated move, Apple is beginning the process of ditching the 'Air' brand of iPad, which shows a move toward mirroring its MacBook lineup. The smaller iPad Pro contains a lot of the same features as its bigger brother, despite a slightly lower resolution screen, with a 12MP camera, live photos and 4K video (features which it can now be expected will come as standard from Apple from now on…). Always-on Siri support, and compatibility with the Apple Pencil is also clearly another clear move in the Apple/Microsoft tablet arms race. Apple may have been playing catch-up after the launch of the Surface, but it's certainly back in the game now.
Schiller's comment that the people using over 600 million PCs that are over five years old 'could use an iPad Pro' can be interpreted as further proof of what we all expected – portability is essential if you want to stay in the technology industry this decade, and tablets are key in that game.
Less noticed, the iPad mini, which has been ignored this year after a very small update last year – could this be a sign that Apple plans to overhaul this smaller version in the way it has done to the Air? Only time will tell…
If you were expecting a mark 2 of the Apple Watch, you may have to wait until autumn. Tonight was a bit more about bragging, with Cook telling the conference that the Apple Watch is number 1 in the smartwatch market (something that is not too surprising). In terms of updates here, we didn't see too much other than another round of new nylon bands and also a price drop of around £50. Other than that, nothing to write home about.
Apple TV was also brought up, but is hardly worth a mention due to lack of any major updates or announcements.
Apple may have disappointed some with details that had been leaked weeks in advance, but its what was missing from March's announcement which will get tech heads thinking what it's next move might be. An iPhone 7 is almost certain, but the possibility of another iPad overhaul and an Apple Watch 2 might just be on the cards. But we'll have to wait until September to find out!

Atomic structure and formation kinetics of the Sb/Si(111)-× surface
Kang Ho Park, Jeong Sook Ha, Wan Soo Yun, El Hang Lee, Jae Yel Yi
We report on the observation of the 5(Formula presented)×5(Formula presented) atomic structure of an Sb-passivated Si(111) surface using low-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). A model of this structure has been derived from the analysis of high-resolution STM images. The stability of the Sb/Si(111)-5(Formula presented)×5(Formula presented) structure has been found to come from the saturation of dangling bonds and the site-selective replacement of Si atoms with Sb atoms. Strain induced by stacking faults and lattice mismatch is found to be responsible for the site selectivity in the replacement. The kinetics of formation is also discussed.

A congressionally chartered commission has been created at the National Science Board to recommend "bold new action" for improving the quality of U.S. mathematics and science education.
The 15-member panel, the Commission on 21st Century Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, will offer recommendations to Congress and President Bush, including suggestions for the future role of the National Science Foundation in improving education from kindergarten through college.
The science board governs the activities of the NSF, an independent federal agency based in Arlington, Va. A major focus of the commission's work will be ways of improving teacher training, as well as strategies for encouraging K-12 students to consider math and science teaching and other careers in those subjects, said Bill Noxon, a spokesman for the panel.
The commission will hold several public hearings over the next year, Mr. Noxon said. Leon M. Lederman, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and a resident scholar at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, and Shirley M. Malcom, the head of a directorate at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in Washington, are co-chairing the panel.


Apple has now finally committed to addressing normalisation problems which have been plaguing some users of iOS 10.3 and those trying early releases of APFS in macOS. In essence, iOS 11 and macOS 10.13 High Sierra will effectively normalise file and folder names on APFS volumes.
Before WWDC last month, Apple's position was that APFS stored file and folder names without performing any normalisation on them. This contrasted with HFS+, which normalises those names. Responsibility was placed on developers to ensure that they used the correct operating system calls to avoid problems with normalisation.
It has become clear in iOS 10.3, the first release of APFS without normalisation, and versions 10.3.1 and 10.3.2, that this approach was flawed. Although the great majority of users experienced no problems, if you obtained files from a source which preferred a different form of normalisation from that used in HFS+, and used accented and non-Roman characters which normalised, then this failed.
The most obvious problems arose with iOS users who transferred files from Windows (which prefers a different normalisation form to HFS+) which were named using Korean and other character sets, although this even included European languages with accented characters like ñ and é. There's a chilling series of messages on the Apple Developer Forums in which an iOS app developer details how users running iOS 10.3 were transferring files using iTunes for Windows, but could not access those files once they were on an iOS device.
One developer, who produces iMazing, even incorporated normalisation into their product to ensure its compatibility with Windows files bearing names which would cause problems on APFS.
At WWDC just over a month ago, Apple's APFS team explained how iOS 11 will bring normalisation to APFS. Documentation was changed, but details of the variant of APFS intended to be the default for High Sierra remained a bit vague.
Apple has now changed the APFS documentation again, making it clear that normalisation is going to be handled by APFS for both iOS 11 and High Sierra. Indeed, the problems so far with iOS 10.3 have driven Apple to fix this early in iOS 10.3.3 and Sierra 10.12.6, due for release very shortly.
This means that developers don't need to do any additional work to ensure correct normalization behavior in these versions of macOS and iOS.
Both iOS and macOS will initially offer what Apple terms runtime normalisation, which carries some overhead in performance, but native normalisation which is built into APFS itself will follow in iOS 11 and macOS 10.13 High Sierra. iOS users will need to perform an erase restore in order to benefit from native normalisation when iOS 11 is first released, but others will be upgraded to that in a future release of iOS 11. I suspect that the full High Sierra release will offer native normalisation from the outset, although Apple hasn't yet committed to that.
There remain some questions whose answers will become clearer as testing of iOS 11 and High Sierra proceed. Runtime normalisation is most probably implemented in runtime libraries which will need to be updated to take advantage. This suggests that apps produced using Xcode 8.3.3 and earlier may not be able to use runtime normalisation, and will have to be rebuilt using a later release of Xcode before they become problem-free.
This is also going to make it important for those currently using iOS 10.3.0-10.3.2, and macOS 10.12.0-10.12.5 with APFS volumes, to upgrade to iOS 11 and macOS 10.12.6 or 10.13 – or they may still be stuck with normalisation issues in the future.
Finally, Apple continues to state that APFS does not support the hard links on which Time Machine's current backups rely. If you convert an existing Time Machine backup to APFS, then all those millions of hard links will be converted to symbolic links or aliases. It remains to be seen whether that is a good idea, whether that conversion still allows them to be used by Time Machine, or whether backups will use a different scheme in High Sierra.
I think that APFS is going to be ready after all.

I have to say that I'm glad I'm not an iOS developer at the moment though: lots of foreign or obscure file names have just stopped working and users are unlikely to be amused by being told either "wait for iOS 11" or "you used the wrong normalisation". Apple has not made those developers' lives easy and it rather looks as though they are still reacting to the consequences of a rather naive initial design.
To comment on your (excellent as always) article: I will be surprised if apps need to be recompiled. I expect that the normalisation schemes have been kept close to the Filing System, not least to leave scope for future optimisations. I think they would also be unwise to expose any post-normalisation (i.e. lower-level) APIs for similar reasons.
As regards Time Machine, the ideal TM back-up on APFS would surely have clones in place of HFS+ hard links (copy-on-write would make them zero size, I think). Whether they're brave enough to try to convert the one to the other remains to be seen. If they are still reacting to the normalisation issues then they may not even know yet; there's always the iOS-like option of sustaining a bodge until back-up drives are formatted anew (sorry, did I say 'bodge' about the runtime normalisation – surely not).
The odd thing about clones in APFS is that Apple doesn't explain what happens when you clone across volumes, only within the same volume. It's easy to imagine that TM might effectively produce a delta-clone of the last backup, in which changed content was stored (and even that is delta content, not whole files) and unchanged content was simply linked to. But that is what TM already does, just using hard links, which are an oddity anyway. There's been a deafening silence over what happens with TM in High Sierra, apart from Mobile TM which has been detailed and demonstrated, which suggests that they don't intend much change, at least in the initial releases of High Sierra.
My current TM backup stretches back to 2012, and is rather more than 3 TB in size, on a RAID. I don't fancy converting that to anything else, thank you!
It rather looks like Time Machine will be 'Phase 2' of APFS. I would support that as, like you, I would approach it with caution.


Kasey and Anthony's Engagement Session at Longwood Gardens.
Here are some highlights from Kasey and Anthony's engagement session at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. The weather was pretty cold and dismal, but luckily Longwood has a gigantic greenhouse, The Conservatory, full of flowers and greenery making for an amazing backdrop for their engagement pictures. Everything worked out perfectly and we had a great time getting to know each other before their wedding in August.


From Kay: I still feel all my friends from high school are the ones I cherish most. I hope to see eveyone at the reunion.
Life is good. Our five kids have given us 18 Grandkids, who are the cutest and brightest of all grandkids. It is hard to realize it has been 50 years since the good old days at South, but I guess time marches on. Lived in Washington State and Missouri since South but have returned home for the "golden years." (That is they feel more like lead some days).
Sorry I will miss the reunion, but my best wishes to all for all the great memories. I miss my two good buddies in Hack Post and John Wilding and look forward to another reunion someday with these Cubs.
This reunion has brought many memories. I am amazed at how many of our Cub friends have died, but fond memories of them remain.
Thinking back over the years and some of the dreams I had in my youth didn't shape into the experiences of my 'now' days. However, life is grand and I'm grateful for the understandings I have obtained and also the growth experienced--besides, dreams sometimes are a little too far reaching and often unattainable...not a negative, just a reality.
In 1996 I made a second try at marriage and caught a wonderful man with 3 children and 10 grandchildren. Needless to say, my family has increased. We have 4 children, 13 grandchildren and 8+ great-grandchildren.
My husband and I live in Farmington, UT...a place I thought I would never be because in my youth I really didn't like the idea of 'country' living and didn't think much about living West of the freeway with Lagoon in sight. However, circumstances have a way of changing ideas, and I now love being in the Farmington area and the sights and sounds of Lagoon aren't so bad after all--kinda fun!
Lots of life has happened to the South High Class of '63! May we all be grateful for each blessing received and give thanks to the One who has given so freely. Have a wonderful Earthly experience and I look forward to seeing you at the Reunion.

I retired in 2005 after 31 years in a fairly cushy job as operations and data control manager for the J.C. Penney Accounting Center here in Salt Lake City.
Then I went to work with my wife (Judy Daniels, class of 64) and kids in a family owned business. We own and operate a Wedding Reception Center in Draper, Utah. Operating your own business is when I found out what work really is. But, we have also enjoyed many of the perks that come along with it. We've been able to travel to many parts of the world and done things I never would have thought possible.
It was great to meet with some of the people from the reunion committee and I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of OLD friends.
