Pandemic Pomp and Circumstance: Graduation Looks Different This Year (Again)
Posted on May 1, 2021 by ericadminchia
"I haven't been sleeping much this week at all. I'm just happy. Excited," says Christmon.
But planning for an event in an ongoing public health emergency has proven to be stressful. Steve Bennett, the chief of staff for academic affairs at Syracuse University, has worked to create commencement ceremonies that are as close to a normal year as possible.
"This may be the single most challenging special event that our team has put together, maybe ever," explains Bennett. "And it's because we keep having to plan towards a moving target."
Syracuse's plan for graduation is to have multiple smaller commencement ceremonies in their stadium; everyone in attendance has to be fully vaccinated or show proof of a recent negative COVID-19 test. According to state guidance, the stadium can only reach 10 % capacity, so graduates are limited to two guests per person. Despite the restrictions, the team that planned the ceremonies is determined to make it one that the class of 2021 deserves.
"The students have been through a lot this year. Graduating seniors lost a number of student experiences due to pandemic conditions that are important to them," says Bennett. That's why having the in-person component was essential. "It was really important to the university, given [the seniors'] commitment to us, that we have a commitment to them."
At California Lutheran University, in Thousand Oaks, Calif., graduation will be celebrated as a drive-in style event at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. Each graduate can bring one carful of people to the fairgrounds parking lot, which can accommodate up to 700 vehicles. Inspired by the city's drive-in concert events, there'll be a stage with speakers and a jumbo screen.
"That's ultimately what led us to our decision to have it at the fairgrounds. Since it's a drive-in and they're staying in their cars, they were allowed to bring family… that was just really important to us," says Karissa Oien, who works in academic affairs at California Lutheran University and is the lead organizer for the drive-in commencement. She's been planning the university's ceremonies for 13 years, and knows how important graduation can be — not just for students, but for those who helped them along the way as well.
"We wanted to have that moment again. Where the families can see their students cross the stage and be there with them."
Jamontrae Christmon, the graduating senior from Tennessee State University, will have his parents, an uncle and one of his sisters there with him at Hale Stadium. "It's just something about your parents being there," says Christmon, "you want to look into the audience and maybe see your parents and you hear them scream your name when they call your name to walk across the stage."
As the day gets closer, Christmon says he's been thinking about the moments of self-doubt he had along the way. "I could have easily said 'I'm not cut out for college' and just gave up, but I didn't." He says his family was a big part of that motivation.
"Not many in my family even attended college, let alone graduated. So this is a big deal," says Christmon. "To me it means I broke the cycle. And that's what they always wanted."
He expects his mother will cry, and likely, he will too.

● What policy and practice changes ought to be made?
Grandparent Whanau Caregivers Have Their Say!
Earlier this year, we reached out through the GRG networks, local neighbourhood groups, libraries, community organisations and online networks to find as many as possible of the 9500 grandparent/kin families who are raising their children's children. In the end, over 1100 responses were received.
For the first time, the results of our research will be unveiled. They reveal a complex, nuanced story of struggle, disappointment, unexpected events, but also of joy and delight.
This talk will cover the main findings of the study, and a summary of findings will also be available.
Methamphetamine ("P") is the biggest social catastrophe for this generation and over the past 15+ years and in that time has been one of the leading causes why children go into grandparent, whanau and foster care. Today teenagers are being targeted with sophisticated methods by people protecting a multi-million-dollar trade. Are your teenagers prepared and able to cope with this pressure? As the caregivers of vulnerable children and young people it is imperative that you know how to guide your teenagers so that they don't make the wrong choices and fall prey to this drug.
Over 60,000 children and young people are notified to Child Youth and Family each year with concerns about their safety and welfare. Around one in ten of those children will end up in Foster Care, following assessment, intervention and a declaration that they need care and protection. Most remain with their parents or go into whanau or grandparent care with little involvement by Child Youth and Family and limited access to the support services needed. In two parts these issues are considered with a Case Study followed by an examination of the changes being introduced to the current child protection framework.
What Happens in the Real World?
● Legal status of care and its impact on eligibility for support and assistance.
– How should these be met?
– How are they likely to be addressed in each scenario?
● What needs to change?
Putting "children and young people in Child Youth and Family care at the centre of everything it does" is at the heart of a much heralded "transformational change" and overhaul of Child Youth and Family services following a substantial review by an Expert Panel in 2015.
Thousands of children are notified to Child Youth and Family each year, and yet often no formal intervention, assessment or family group conference takes place when a grandparent or member of the whanau steps in during the initial crisis to care for them.
● What responsibility does the State have to these children in grandparent care?
● What support is there for them?
● Will the changes to CYF services affect these children?
● What initiatives are planned to support full-time grandparent/whanau caregivers and children in their care?
● How does the new framework work?
● What are our obligations as caregivers?
● When to ask for help and where to get it?
For over 95% of families the GRG Trust NZ works with, the children are in grandparent whanau care following a breakdown in the family, often due to the parents' substance abuse, violence, mental illness and neglect.
Without their grandparent whanau caregivers stepping in, these children would otherwise be in foster care. Providing a loving home is the first step to keeping these children safe and secure, but the effects of past trauma can be long-term, manifesting in extremely challenging and difficult behaviour for which caregivers often need training and expert support.
Additionally, there are many children being raised by grandparents who are affected by sensory processing differences and sit somewhere on the Autism Spectrum or have ADHD. A different approach to understanding and coping with their behaviour is required.
In these two solutions-focused workshops, caregivers will learn practical tips and techniques to better help them in their caregiver role.
NOTE: The Summit programme concludes at 1.10pm with Lunch for all delegates and is followed by further internal GRG Training for Support Coordinators and Field Officers.
● What is early life trauma?
Stand for Children's Services Tu Maia Whanau is a charity providing Intensive Family Wraparound social services including Therapeutic Care and Education to children aged 5 to 12 and their families. Stand also provides a Family Therapy service for children 0-17 (including unborns) and their families, School Social Work service and a Kidzacool Adventures holiday programme. Stand's work aims to transform the lives of children and young people who are at significant risk of harm to their well-being as a consequence of the environment in which they are being raised and their own complex needs. For each child they seek to develop their capacity to live in healthy, hopeful relationships with others. On this depends all of the other necessary outcomes which contribute to their ability to enjoy life and reach their potential.
For individuals who experience sensory processing differences, ordering priorities or meeting the expectations of others and the world around them frequently results in anxious, confused or oppositional behaviour. Children and teenagers may be undiagnosed and high functioning or diagnosed with such labels as Autism, Aspergers, OCD, ADHD, DYSPRAXIA, ADD, ODD and many others.
The caregivers of these children and teenagers discover the standard parenting rules or boundaries do not apply or cannot resonate with the way their children or teenagers think and act. In each case it can create significant challenges for all concerned.
This workshop is designed for caregivers and professionals who work in close association with children and teenagers affected by sensory processing differences.
"I learned more in two hours than I could have learned in several all-day seminars. What an experience!"
MIND OVER MANNER is a charity organisation that presents workshops designed to strengthen the communication and connection with those children who think, learn and work differently.
Grandparents Raising GrandchildrenTM Trust NZ (GRG) is a registered Charitable Trust operating throughout New Zealand providing support services to grandparents who are raising their grandchildren on a full-time basis.

You're seventeen. One night, more or less by accident, you set fire to a garden shed.
Naturally, you pack up and run off to Paris, certain you can make enough money off your art to get by. You're young, you're talented, you're full of life, and you have your best friend in all the world by your side.
5 Words: Friendship, runaway, poverty, Paris, freedom.
This book is one heck of a ride, right from the very start. It's boisterous and loud and scared and unsure all at once.
This is a book about teens, but it is definitely for an older audience. Aside from the language, there is drink and drugs aplenty.
The two protagonists are best friends, and they are very different from each other, so the way they bounce off of one another makes them really come to life. They each tell their own part of the story in such distinct voices that I never got confused once about who was doing the telling.
I'd say that Sage was probably my favourite character, although she did frustrate me at times.
I loved the lists. They were so funny, and I found myself flipping back through the pages to read them again.
This book would be best consumed with a pain au chocolat and the cheapest red wine you can find.

Microsoft to Make XML Default File Format in Office 12
Microsoft Corp. announced that it is adopting XML technology for the default file formats in the next version of Microsoft Office editions, currently code-named "Office 12." The new file formats, called Microsoft Office Open XML Formats, will become the defaults for the "Office 12" versions of Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint, which are expected to be released in the second half of 2006. The interoperability capabilities of the Microsoft Office Open XML Formats enable Microsoft Office applications to directly access data stored in systems outside those applications, such as server-based line-of-business applications. These third-party applications, in turn, can access data stored in the new Office file formats. Microsoft Office Open XML Formats are fully documented file formats with a royalty-free license. Anyone can integrate them directly into their servers, applications and business processes, without financial consideration to Microsoft. People using Office 2000, Office XP and Office 2003 will be able to open, edit and save files using the new formats, thanks to a free update available as a download from Microsoft that enables those older Office versions to work with the new formats. Documents created with the current binary file formats in Office also will be fully compatible with "Office 12" applications. So workers can save documents to their current formats and exchange those documents with people using "Office 12" — and when they upgrade to "Office 12," they can continue to use their existing binary documents. Microsoft will provide further technical information about the Microsoft Office Open XML Formats, including draft versions of the schemas, to help ensure that developers and IT professionals can be prepared to take advantage of the formats before product shipment. People interested in the new file formats and the next version of Office can get additional information beginning Monday, June 6 at a preview site, http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview
OASIS Approves DITA as Standard
OASIS announced that its members have approved the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) version 1.0 as an OASIS Standard. DITA defines an XML architecture for designing, writing, managing, and publishing many kinds of information in print and on the Web. DITA consists of a set of design principles for creating "information-typed" modules at a topic level. DITA enables organizations to deliver content as closely as possible to the point-of-use, making it ideal for applications such as integrated help systems, web sites, and how-to instruction pages. DITA's topic-oriented content can be used to exploit new features or delivery channels as they become available. Participation in the OASIS DITA Technical Committee remains open. All those interested in advancing this work, including users, XML tools vendors, and consultants on Information Architecture and Content Management Systems (CMS), are encouraged to join the Committee. OASIS hosts an open mail list for public comment and the dita-user mailing list for exchanging information on implementing the standard. http://www.oasis-open.org

Document Retention in Light of Today's Supreme Court Reversal of Andersen Verdict
May 31, 2005 / Bill Zoellick / 0 Comments
Today's Supreme Court ruling reversing the decision against Arthur Andersen
is big news in the compliance world. My bet is that it will have two important
effects–both good.
The first is that, once again, it will be OK to destroy documents in
accordance with a company's retention policy. The second is that it is going to
become even more obvious to companies that they really do need to have a
carefully designed document retention policy, along with a way to ensure that it
is implemented and monitored.

Twitter Continues to Work on Emoji-Style Reactions on Tweets
It appears that emoji-style reaction buttons are indeed coming to your tweets, with the platform continuing to work on its new icons, according to the latest finding by reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong.
As you can see here, Twitter looks to be developing four new tweet response options, in addition to the current Like heart.
The new options, at this stage, will be:
Those specific responses have likely been chosen based on platform use, with Twitter's research showing that the 'laughing while crying' emoji, and the 'crying face' were among the most used within tweets in 2020.
This new response selection appears like an amalgamation of these trending emojis, which could provide more ways to quickly respond to tweets, especially while on the go, while also aligning with reaction usage on other social platforms, leaning into broader habitual behaviors.
The new test is not really a huge surprise, with Twitter working on its potential emoji response options over the past few months.
TechCrunch reported back in March that Twitter had been surveying users about the potential of adding a broader set of emoji-style reactions on tweets, giving people more ways to quickly engage in the app.
As you can see here, that could also end up including a form of up and downvotes, with 'Agree' and 'Disagree' arrows – though based on this latest example, Twitter doesn't appear to be going with that iteration.
Twitter actually launched a brief test of similar emoji response tools back in 2015, and up and downvote options in 2018, but it never went ahead with any of those tools.
Now, this new version does look to be getting closer – we asked Twitter for comment on the test, and it provided us with a generic response.
"We're always exploring additional ways for people to express themselves in conversations happening on Twitter"
Which is a tacit confirmation that this is in testing, without providing any indication of any future live experiments or eventual roll-out plans for the functionality.
But it does look to be evolving, which could add a whole new range of considerations within your tweet process, and a whole new set of data points for Twitter to provide insight into user responses to each tweet.
Which could be good – but then again, Twitter users are not known for their welcoming reception to changes in the app.
Remember the furore when Twitter changed the favorites star to a heart instead?
I mean, the Twitter rage cycle is fairly short, so immediate response is probably not the biggest concern in this respect. But if these things do raise your hackles, going on Jane's track record for discoveries that later get launched within each app, I'd say you should start priming those hackles for elevation.

Q: Proving limit for the root of a function I am stuck on some homework questions but don't want to post the question directly, so i can work it out by myself but I will post a general version of it.

Given $\lim_{x \to q}(f(x))^{\frac{1}{n}}) = L^{\frac{1}{n}}$
Prove $\lim_{x \to q}(f(x))=L$

I am not sure where to even start with this, I know I need to do something with the first limit to generate $\epsilon$ and $\delta$ to feed into the proof for the second limit.
Again this is homework and I want to work it out myself but I need some hints please.
Thanks

A: One way to solve this is to instead prove that
$\lim_{x\rightarrow q} f(x) = L$ implies $\lim_{x\rightarrow q} (f(x))^n = L^n$, and then replace $f$ and $L$ by $f^{1/n}$ and $L^{1/n}$ respectively.
So, assume that $\lim_{x\rightarrow q} f(x) = L$. Also, assuming that $L\ge 0$ is finite, this implies that there exists a $\delta_1>0$ such that $|x-q|\le \delta_1 \Rightarrow |f(x)-L|<L$, such that $|f(x)|\le 2|L|$. We now factorize $f^n-L^n$ giving
$$ |f^n-L^n|=\left|f-L\right|\left|f^{n-1}+f^{n-2}L+\cdots fL^{n-2}+L^{n-2}\right|\le|f-L|\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\left|f^{n-1-k}L^k\right|$$
where the inequality follows from the triangle inequality (i.e. $|a+b|\le |a|+|b|$). For $|x-q|<\delta_1$ we then have
$$|f^n-L^n|\le \left|f-L\right|\left|L\right|^{n-1}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} 2^k< \left|f-L\right|\left|L\right|^{n-1}2^n$$
If we now let $\delta_2=\epsilon(\left|L\right|^{n-1}2^n)^{-1}$ and set $\delta = \min\{\delta_1,\delta_2\}$ we get that
$$|f^n-L^n|<\epsilon $$
whenever $|x-q|<\delta$, proving that $\lim_{x\rightarrow q} (f(x))^n = L^n$.

Renaming The Paseo: Ceremony will officially change road to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard
Kansas City, Missouri, will make history Monday when crews install the first street sign officially renaming The Paseo to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. The city was one of the United States' largest cities without a road dedicated to King. Roughly 900 communities have a road named after King. The 50th anniversary of King's death last year helped spark a movement to honor the civil rights leader in Kansas City. Last month, the city council voted to rename The Paseo.
By: Charlie Keegan
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City, Missouri, will make history Monday when crews install the first street sign officially renaming The Paseo to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.
The city was one of the United States' largest cities without a road dedicated to King. Roughly 900 communities have a road named after King.
The 50th anniversary of King's death last year helped spark a movement to honor the civil rights leader in Kansas City. Last month, the city council voted to rename The Paseo.
Councilman Jermaine Reed supports the change. He will speak at a ceremony Monday morning marking the change.
"Today we will join those communities across this entire country. I hope folks will come and understand the importance of the day, how important it is for us as a city in Kansas City, so it certainly makes me Kansas City proud," Reed said.
It is quite a process to take this idea from a city council meeting and turn it into a reality for drivers. Reed said city crews will install 202 street signs between now and mid-April.
By the end of July, crews will install another 19 signs on traffic signal arms and 2 LED lighted signs.
Reed knows some people think the city should've chosen a different street to rename. But he is hopeful the entire community gets on board with the change over time.
"It's something we have to embrace as a community, what does 50 years from now actually looks like in Kansas City, how do we show the nation and the world how Dr. King boulevards and streets should actually look like across the entire country," he asked.
The United States Post Office told 41 Action News mail addressed to The Paseo will automatically be redirected to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard after the change. So people and businesses along the street shouldn't have any interruption in mail service.
The public is invited to a ceremony as the city installs and unveils the first street sign at 34th and Paseo at 10 a.m. Monday.
U.S. Congressman Emanuel Cleaver II, city council members and others will speak.


I am transferring this summer (active duty USCG) from CA to VA this summer (Hampton Roads) - anyone have insight on a good place to seek a part time Paramedic job out in the Hampton, Norfolk, Portsmouth areas? or who to stay away from?
I work part time here where I am currently stationed and work out of an operation that only runs 911 - and realize they do things a bit different out there as far as who runs 911....lots of volunteer Fire there.
I see AMR has an operation out of Hampton Roads - but its difficult to find out much about them - plenty of info on Richmond, VA - but that's a 2 hour plus drive - would prefer to work shifts closer to home in the Norfolk area.
I don't know much about that area. Richmond isn't worth the two hour drive, or even an hour in my opinion. I'm pretty sure Hampton, Norfolk, and all those areas are fire based, as are most of the places I know of in VA.
If you're fine with a fire based service, then I'm sure you can find a part time job. If not, options get significantly tighter. I know of more flight services in VA than (non volunteer) EMS only agencies.
I've seen things before that may indicate Portsmouth and Chesapeake will hire for single role, but don't quite me on that. I don't know anyone in those areas, your best bet may be to just call them.
Awesome thank you! I appreciate the info!
Last I checked, most of Va was fire based EMS ambulances. There are a few EMS agencies that aren't fire based, but I am not aware of any that hire part timers, at least not to start. That isn't to say they don't exist, but I don't know about them.
We do, but that doesn't help any.
Virginia Beach has a volunteer/career EMS system. I did 40 years with them. Was working at a local hospital but their transport system was bought out by AMR (and they are not happy with the results). Suffolk has some volunteers, but mostly career. Isle of Wight County has part time EMS as well as volunteer. I believe York County, James City County have some volunteers.
Medical Transport Inc. hires a lot of part time. They are based in Virginia Beach but cover the entire region. Non 911 but they get their share of emergency transports. There are a couple other companies that seem to pop up here and there.

Hannaford CIO: We Need To Spend Millions, Go Well Beyond PCI
Hannaford CIO Bill Homa, overseeing a data breach probe that exposed some 4.2 million payment cards, said this week that his grocery chain needs to go well beyond PCI to try and be secure, an effort he predicted would cost his department millions of dollars "but not tens of millions."
Homa called a news conference to detail some of those planned security improvements, including Triple DES PIN encryption ("customer card information is now encrypted from the PINpad at the store register and remains encrypted while it's in our own internal network"), host and network intrusion prevention systems ("to proactively prevent malware from being installed in our systems") and better payment segmentation.
He also—inexplicably—used the news conference to announce that Hannaford was "the first retailer in Maine" to have a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) on the payroll. Wonder if they'll call another news conference if that employee leaves?
The intrusion tracking system is something Hannaford has turned over to IBM, and Homa detailed what his concerns were. "One of the learnings of the breach is that we don't have enough eyes and hands to watch all the false positive intrusions that happen in a vast network. You have millions and millions of people pinging your IP address," he said. "So we decided to turn that over to IBM and (have them) report back to us when we have something to investigate."
Beyond IBM, Homa said vendors that his team is working with on the security upgrades include General Dynamics, Cisco and Microsoft. He also confirmed that their PCI assessor is Verizon Business Services (formerly Cybertrust), which was also the initial assessor of TJX.
The encryption upgrades at POS will take another two to three months to complete, Homa said. "In many cases, we're replacing equipment that is perfectly good except that it's been obsoleted by the requirement for additional security," he said.
The host intrusion prevention system (HIPS) has not yet been awarded ("we're in the middle of picking a software vendor") so "it will probably be the end of the year before we have that fully implemented in all of our stores."
They are also implementing ISO 27001 processing that Homa estimated would take "a year to 18 months before it's fully implemented."
He wouldn't specify the estimated cost beyond the millions but "not tens of millions" comment, other than to say that HIPS could cost "as much as $5,000 per store, so it starts to add up."
Other new details that cropped up during the call or shortly before:
Adding more anecdotal evidence that consumers don't really care about security violations. Hannaford CEO Ron Hodge told reporters that the breach did not impact sales at all. "There has not been a drop in sales," Hodge said.
The number of reported fraudulent acts associated with the Hannaford breach is still at 1,800. Why? No new information is being given to Hannaford, Hodge said. "We have not heard back from the credit card companies since the early days when it got to 1,800," he said.
Early reports had said that Hannaford replaced all of its servers. In fact, software alone was updated. The hardware remained.
In the first days after the breach was reported, the chief spokesperson for the breach, Hannaford marketing chief Carol Eleazer, told reporters that Hannaford had been certified PCI compliant in the Spring of 2007 and then again in February 2008. She has now modified that to indicate that both assessments were done in February (one in 2007 and one in 2008.)
Another Hannaford spokesperson had said in an interview that the customers' CVV numbers were also taken. Eleazer this week clarified that remark to mean that the magstripe data alone was taken, not the 3- or 4-digit non-embossed numbers on the back of Visa cards and MasterCards and on the front of American Express cards.
Even though many E-commerce sites ask for the CVV, they are really asking for the CVV-2 if it's a Visa card, the CID for American Express and the CVC2 for MasterCard. No matter. The magic number that E-tailers ask for—no matter what it's called—wasn't taken, Eleazer said this week.

VW e-Golf Now Available In Germany — Price = €34,900
The VW Golf is the most-sold European car in history, and now there's an electric version of it. The VW e-Golf, unveiled at the LA Auto Show in November, has just been made commercially available in Germany. The starting price is €34,900 (~$47,800). That comes with an 8-year / 160,000-kilometer (99,419-mile) battery warranty. That's almost exactly the same price as the BMW i3.
Assuming Volkswagen is serious about selling this car, it could do well, but I'd be surprised to see its sales compare to sales of the BMW i3 or the much-lower-priced Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, or German-market-leading Smart Electric Drive. I'd assume the VW e-Up!, launched just at the end of 2013, will also do better. It has been doing quite well, is widely available (across Europe), and it comes in at a much lower price of €26,900. Mike Millikin of Green Car Congress has some info on how these two electric Volkswagens compare, and how they compare to the world-market-leading Nissan Leaf:
The e-Golf features low power consumption of 12.7 kWh/100 km (the frugal e-up! offers power consumption of 11.7 kWh/100 km). As a comparison, the Nissan LEAF consumes 15 kWh/100 km (in accordance with UN/ECE Regulation 101).
I still slightly prefer the Nissan Leaf over the VW e-Up!, but have yet to drive the VW e-Golf. Looking forward to that. Here are more details on the e-Golf for now:
The e-Golf's electric motor delivers 85 kW / 115 PS and from a standing start develops maximum torque of 270 N·m (199 lb-ft). The high-performance 12,000-rpm motor and the single-speed EQ270 transmission form a compact unit: the EQ270 also incorporates an integrated differential and an electro-mechanical parking brake. The motor and transmission was developed in-house and is made at Volkswagen's components plant in Kassel, Germany.
The e-Golf reaches a speed of 60 km/h within 4.2 seconds and 100 km/h after 10.4 seconds.
The Golf A7 was developed from the outset to be a battery electric vehicle. As the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) architecture that underpins the new Golf A7 is so flexible, Volkswagen was able to integrate the lithium-ion battery in a space-saving frame in the vehicle floor, under the front and rear seats and in the center tunnel. Like the electric motor and the transmission, the battery was also developed in-house at Volkswagen and is made at the company's facility in Braunschweig, Germany.
The liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery accounts for 701 pounds (318 kg) of the e-Golf model's 3,090-pound (1,402 kg) curb weight. It comprises 264 individual prismatic cells, which are integrated into 27 modules (each with six or twelve cells). Collectively, the cells have a nominal rating of 323 volts, with an overall capacity of 24.2 kWh.
Depending on the nature of the route, driving style and load, the range is between 130 and 190 kilometers (81 and 188 miles). More specifically, Volkswagen says, under the NEDC cycle, the range is 190 km…; practical range according to Volkswagen is the 130-190 km spread; and in winter operation, the range is expected to be 80-120 km (50-75 miles).
[Note: there'a an error in the quotation above. As a commenter notes, "190 km range is about 118 miles, not 188 miles."]
Volkswagen seems to have gotten serious about electric vehicles after Martin Winterkorn took over as CEO in 2007. Nonetheless, it has taken the German auto giant a while to get into the game. Jumping into the market just within the past 6 months, it now has two high-volume cars available at competitive process and with unique features. Statements from some board members also makes it seem that the company is serious about an electric vehicle transition. Notably, in less than one month the company will be highlighting its new electric mobility options via public events that even include music concerts.
Under the slogan "electrified", Volkswagen will be launching a series of e-mobility weeks in March on the site of Berlin's former Tempelhof Airport. Volkswagen will offer a comprehensive overview of Volkswagen capabilities in the field of electrically powered motoring. From 14-16 March, members of the public can avail themselves of the numerous facilities on offer, such as test driving vehicles. The e-mobility weeks will be rounded off with public concerts in the evening.
Whether by force (European requirements) or choice, it's nice to see Volkswagen finally jumping into this. Let us know if you happen to have had any experience with the VW e-Golf yet!

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC – Residents of New Hanover County can apply for Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP), better known as "Disaster Food Stamps," beginning Friday, September 28. Residents applying for D-SNAP should come to Independence Mall in the previous Sears store, located at 3500 Oleander Drive in Wilmington.
D-SNAP is for households that don't already receive food stamp benefits, and will provide one-time assistance for people who lost food, or the ability to purchase food because of Hurricane Florence. D-SNAP uses different standards than normal food stamp benefits, so households that don't normally qualify for food stamps may qualify for D-SNAP if disaster-related expenses have been incurred.
New Hanover County applications for D-SNAP will be accepted Friday, September 28 through Saturday, October 6, except Sundays. This schedule is determined by the state.
Friday, September 28: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Saturday, September 29: 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
Monday, October 1: 8 a.m. -5 p.m.
Tuesday, October 2: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Wednesday, October 3: 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
Thursday, October 4: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Friday, October 5: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Saturday, October 6: 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
Applicants should enter the Independence Mall parking lot from Independence Boulevard and follow directional signage to the entrance between Ruby Tuesday's and the former Sears store. This outside entrance will be marked with signage, and is to the left of the main mall entrance. Independence Mall is also located on Wave Transit's fixed bus routes.
New Hanover County households will be issued Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards on site if they are eligible, based on United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) policy. Eligibility and benefit allotment is based on available income and resources. Picture identification is not required to apply for D-SNAP. Applicants will be asked to provide verification of identity through other means if necessary, like utility bills or other items with the person's name.
In anticipation of long lines and wait times, it is encouraged that only one person per household be present, that people bring medication or other necessary items with them, and that alternate childcare be considered if possible.
New Hanover County residents currently receiving food stamp benefits are not eligible for D-SNAP, but may receive a supplement and/or replacement benefit as determined by the USDA. For those residents, supplements and replacements have already begun automatically, and current beneficiaries do not need to seek this out.
For more information about D-SNAP, visit https://www.fns.usda.gov/disaster/disaster-assistance.

A font can say a lot of things about your brand. If you choose Comic Sans, you're basically saying I don't even take myself seriously. Papyrus, on the other hand, tells people that you're doing the old-age/new-age thing, and that you might be Asian, Egyptian, or even African.
On the same note, Apteekkarin's choice of a Blackletter/Gothic font (along with an illustration of the grand inquisitor himself) says one thing very loudly: the contents of this package were originally designed as a medieval torture device.
Despite this scary looking design and bright red warning ("VAIN APTEEKISTA", which translates to "DO NOT EAT"), I opened up the package.
Never sure of whether I'll find sugar or salt, I popped one of the jelly-textured drops in my mouth and prepared for the worst. Surprisingly, I didn't gag or even immediately spit these out. The mild licorice taste slowly transitioned to a menthol flavor, and after a chewing for about a minute, a subtle salty flavor cropped up. It wasn't too bad at all.
I had another, and then another... and next thing I knew, the bag was empty! That's an extremely rare occurrence here on Salmiyuck and, as such, earns this Salmiakkipastilli the halfway-decent rating. Keep in mind that I'm fairly tolerable of menthol flavors, so you may find these much worse than I did.
"Vain apteekista" translates to "Only from pharmacy"
But now for some tips on stuff to try. In the farmacy they also sell, in addition to the Apteekkarin Salmiakkipastilli, the REAL deal. Proper, real, original salmiakki which they made in the olden days.
And another very good recipie to try is Fisu shots aka Fisherman's Friend shots.
Put everything in a blender and mix until smooth. Put in fridge for about an hour. Enjoy!!
Well. If you think normal salmiakki is poison, I don't know what will happen to you if you taste fisu. I'm finnish, and I rather trow up just for fun, than drink that stuff!
Poppamies.fi webstore has been selling this canned pain, but (un)fortunately they're out of stock. According to the product label (http://www.poppamies.fi/images/_JAK6113.jpg) it's manufactured in Germany, so Poppamies just brands it and sells it in Finland. If You're (un)lucky, someone might know different brands for this great, ahem... experience..
Loved through the whole blog. LOVE IT!
The text is "hated in the world - loved in Finland" (or something like that).
"I think you're just starting to like the flavor. Soon all these posts will be "halfway-decent." :P"
Here is a shop, where i order all my salmiyck nowadays.
And one of their best product ever.
Ever tasted these? I absolutely LOOOOOVE them!
Oh no I'm from Finland, but I have been in Italy now for 5months and reading this makes me dream about salmiakki :P Not long anymore and I'm back in Finland and will eat lot of it!
Anyway, having seen many foreigners reactions to Salmiak candies I am convinced there are two aspects to the dilemma of Salmiak.
First of all it is a question of expectation. In most countries candies are uniformly sweet and sugary in taste. Salmiak candies on the other hand are the stark opposite why the first reaction of a novice would quite naturally be rather negative. Salmiak does not pass as a candy to those accustomed to sweet sugary tastes. In fact, the Salmiak taste and the Salmiak sensory experience would appear rather alien to a novice because there are few if any food items in the world which are even remotely similar in taste. Consequently, the natural reaction would be an involuntary response of spitting it out as the novice's "taste memory" can not in any way relate to the experience. This is an inherent biological trait. What you do not know may be poisonous - hence you spit it out.
Secondly, it would appear that Salmiak, just like many other things such as for example wine, cheese and chili peppers is an aquired taste. The earlier you start the more you will like it in time. I'm Dutch and I simply love all forms of Licorice - from the soft to the hard and from the sweet to the salty.
That shop (http://www.worldofsweets.de) is awesome. And the shipping costs are quite reasonable, so Alex can feed his salmiak addiction without going broke.
Unfortunately the page is only in Finnish.
I think I must have some undeclared Finnish or (more likely) Dutch ancestry. Unlike most Americans, I actually *like* salmiakki. Unfortunately, I've only found one Finnish product even semi-readily available (or course, at World Market) - the Halva soft licorice bits that come in the blue box. There are more German varieties there - my favorites among them are the Katjes Salzige Heringe and the Sallos hard candies. Me gusta mucho el original SALLOS-Geschmack.
However, I found some Swedish-made "salty fish" licorice - at IKEA, naturally. They're labeled "Nordic Sweets Salty Licorice Fish," which sounds like a bit of an oxymoron, and they pack a one-two punch of salmiak and ordinary salt (noting that ammonium chloride comes well before normal salt in the ingredient list; NaCl is the second to last ingredient listed). They go nicely with lots of beer or gin & tonic to fight the dehydration. After I brought a bag home and wolfed them down in a few days, I ended up going back to stock up. I guess those are the *real* Swedish Fish, as opposed to the usual fruit-flavored ones that are available just about everywhere.
Next time I'm going through Grand Rapids, Michigan, I'll have to stop at one of the Dutch stores and get some of the infamous Dubbel Zout.
Nice blog if a bit dramatic.
But where is the good ol' real tyrkisk peber review ? The main delicacy of so many salmiac enthusiasts. So delicious, 5 - 10 in a row warms you up nicely.
Have you tried Djungelvrål from Malaco? I'm Danish and looove them. They're, ahem, salty ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Malaco-04.jpg ).
Two things I never forget to bring with me when I travel; Swedish snus and salty licorice.
Isn't it about time for the next review?
Sure is, bring the good ol' 3 flame Tyrkish pebers to test Mr. Adventurer.
I must point out however, that salmiakki should under no circumstances be confused with salty licorice. It's not the same thing at all. Without ammonium chloride there is no salmiakki, end of story.
Has the blogger dropped from too much salmiac ?
Nope, in the picture he still has that good old three flame tyrkish pebers that is not reviewed.
"VAIN APTEEKISTA", which translates to "DO NOT EAT" - :-D Thank you for this, I would like some salmiakki now!

Low Concept
360 Degrees of Anderson Cooper
What will he feel next?
By Tom Peyer
Jan 10, 200612:05 PM
In time, there will be healing …
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
ANNOUNCER: Shock. Grief. Outrage. Glee.
One year after a devastating tsunami, four months after the fury of Katrina, mere days after a tragedy underground, which emotions will overtake Anderson Cooper next? Tonight, a special investigation on ANDERSON COOPER 360°.
ANDERSON COOPER: And good evening from CNN studios in New York, where we begin with a picture. Take a look. The man you see is 38 years old. A Manhattanite. A citizen, an employee, a friend, a son. His name: Anderson Cooper.
Most nights, he appears live on CNN to show you the devastation, destruction, disaster, sadness, and pain his countrymen endure.
But not tonight.
Tonight, he will explore Anderson Cooper. How one reporter copes while waiting for news, any news at all. A story of hope, and of prayers, ahead on 360.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
ANDERSON: Welcome back. Our topic is Anderson Cooper, so we have a lot to cover in these two hours. We begin at his workplace.
When Anderson Cooper isn't reporting from the field, he's broadcasting the news from CNN's New York headquarters. I just want to give you a sense of the place. Right outside this studio is a suite of offices. It is air-conditioned, it is fluorescent lit, the floors are covered with waxed linoleum. Downstairs, there's a cafeteria. You can see, in the blue uniforms, those are security guards checking the identity of all the people going in for food. You either have to be an employee or—or—or a guest. You can see it on their faces as they file in: The people here at CNN are desperate for news.
Back in the offices, which have seen so much heartbreak, so much joy, and so much heartbreak yet again, there's an intern. I believe she's—yes, she's printing out e-mails for Jack Cafferty's producer. It is literally happening as we speak. We are seeing things like this, just an outpouring of love and caring for people at this network. And people at this network are helping one another and standing by one another, and—
(VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: Excuse me, Anderson, I'm sorry for interrupting. To listen to CNN employees thanking each other and complimenting each other, you know, I got to tell you, there are a lot of people out here who are very upset, and very angry, and very frustrated. And when they hear reporters and interns slap—you know, thanking one another, it just, you know, it kind of cuts them the wrong way right now.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: Anderson, I get the anger that is out there, and I—I—I understand it. More could be done. In time, there will be investigations and lawsuits and, we hope, healing. But for now, there is anger and there is heartbreak. Some answers to some questions, we pray, when 360 returns.
ANDERSON: Frustration at CNN. A dramatic scene. Why did it take so long for the commercial break to end? The segments seem to blend together. At times it's easy to forget what network you're on. At a certain point it feels like all the words have already been spoken: "When we return." "Welcome back." "Stunning development." On the surface, it all seems so mundane. The drama is happening deep underneath. It is hard to imagine a place more exposed to the elements. There—there has been anger, and especially in these last couple hours. There's a lot of finger-pointing going on. There is desperation and there is danger. The waves of sadness have just begun. And what is being done to stop it? What can be done to stop it?
360 hours a day, 360 days a week, the feelings don't let up for Anderson Cooper. We, of course, will bring them to you live.

Statistical Vs. Neural Machine Translation
Machine Translation (MT) has come a long way since its origins in the 1950s.
And since its inception, different theories and practices have come and gone. Most recently, there's been quite a bit of talk about Neural Machine Translation (NMT), a new method that uses Deep Learning to translate foreign language texts.
Google started using NMT late last year and lauded the move as a big step towards better MT quality. NMT produces translations that are more accurate than its predecessor, Phrase Based Machine Translation (PBMT), thanks to its superior ability to translate complete sentences at a time.
PBMT is one mode of Statistical MT, which has been around for more than half a century. And before NMT came around, Statistical MT was the method translation practitioners and researchers were most interested in.
Statistical MT uses predictive algorithms to teach a computer how to translate text. These models are created, or learned, from parallel bilingual text corpora and used to create the most probable output, based on different bilingual examples.
Using this already translated text, a statistical model guesses or predicts how to translate foreign language text. Statistical MT has different subgroups, including word-based, phrase-based, syntax-based and hierarchical phrase-based.
The benefit of Statistical MT is its automation. One drawback is that this system needs bilingual material to work from, and it can be hard to find content for obscure languages. Statistical MT is a "rule-based" MT method, using the basis of corpora translations to create its own text segments.
NMT is the newest method of MT and said to create much more accurate translations than Statistical MT.
NMT is based on the model of neural networks in the human brain, with information being sent to different "layers" to be processed before output.
NMT uses deep learning techniques to teach itself to translate text based on existing statistical models. It makes for faster translations than the statistical method and has the ability to create higher quality output.
NMT is able to use algorithms to learn linguistic rules on its own from statistical models. The biggest benefit to NMT is its speed and quality.
NMT is said by many to be the way of the future, and the process will no doubt continue to advance in its capabilities.
MT can also be done using a "hybrid" method that combines both techniques to create a desired result. The efficacy of each depends on a number of factors, including the languages used and available linguistic resources, or example text.
Even though it's been around for quite some time, MT is still a burgeoning resource. Advances in the MT field have been great, but using it as a sole means of translation isn't yet an option. The margin for error, no matter what method is used, is still too large to depend on MT for documents that will be published or used externally.
With that said, MT does provide a "gist" translation and acts as a great way to decipher documents quickly and cost-efficiently. Knowing how to use it effectively depends on project scope, cost and end goals.

For a firm that requires uninterrupted and high electricity it is preferable to implement an energy transformer and, as a consequence, to prevent the tightness of force in the device that is using the light.
A firm of good profitability must have its own electric transformer, in this way it is obtained the strength, the goodness of increasing or decreasing the intensity of electric force is received supporting the frequency reaching the work determined in the electronic distribution. All transformers are essential for the affordable driving of electricity used in residences, SMEs, firms, etc.
The transformers conserve a permanent flow and orientate nature of energy that applies in their system with the intention of delivering continuous energy; some instruments generate a percentage of low, due to its size and purpose. To select a transformer we must study the measure of current we want to distribute, we must also solve the dimensions of the place where it will be applied.
The activity of a transformer consists of mechanical-electrical energy that is superimposed and driven by an external force and a magnetized sector originates, the mechanism of the site will generate an electromagnetic force from which the crystalline energy that will sustain the use of the mechanisms potentially.
They create transformers for all work examples according to their applications, one is the flow reducer used by companies, the shortener is designed to increase or reduce the driving power, the most capable transformers are those that operate in the cooling system since they enjoy a more perennial and profitable time.
In terms of quotas, a transformer of poetry is considerably higher than a conventional transformer, buying a transformer of economic power can result in more expenses because of the low capacity that launches and will manage to delay our period of functions.

The eMOTIONal Body is a series of workshops and performances, hosted by NDCWales and themed around performances of Lui & Artemis by Prototype Status from Switzerland.
Their piece, Lui & Artemis, is interpreted by Artemis Sacantanis and Peter Jolesch, both over 65 and former soloists from the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz and Bayerisches Staatsballet in Munich.
The performance explores the paradoxical journey of an older couple, who feel younger at heart in their now worn-out bodies than they could have ever been during their first embrace. Their minds are turned towards the past and the future at the same time, whilst their bodies are stuck in the present moment.
Artemis and Peter will lead the workshops which focus on simple actions connected to our own experiences. They will also explore exercises and improvisation games which have been used as tools to find the choreographic material of the duet.
'Having seen several of Jasmine Morand's creations I have been particularly struck by Lui & Artemis. Both performers are mature artists who have enjoyed successful careers as professional dancers; this duet oozes honesty, beauty and sensitivity. I was excited to invite the company in conjunction with our Gwanwyn festival celebrations and to enable them to also share their process with others through workshops in collaboration with Age Cymru.' Caroline Finn – Artistic Director NDCWales.
Join us for a 90 minute workshop, followed by refreshments, and stay on to see Lui & Artemis, all for just £12.50.
Workshop and Ticket package (inc refreshments) - £12.50. Tickets for performance only: £12.50 or £10 concessions.

A note on the chronology of the novels
Post author By Geraint Roberts
No Comments on A note on the chronology of the novels
The way that my novels have arrived on the market may appear bizarre to some, confusing to others and certainly not in sequence! There are reasons for this, which I will explain. Firstly, let's explore the three novel series
The mining series, featuring Owain Thomas, lead miner
The railway series, featuring Dafydd Thomas, railwayman
The Estonian series
The Mining Series
This begins with the novel The Turn of the Wheel and tells the story of Owain Thomas from his first day underground at Frongoch lead mine in 1873, near Pontrhydygroes. His life, his work and his romance with Ceridwen Hughes and Dafydd's birth are explored.
There are two more planned novels in the series, currently with the working titles of 'A lifetime of goodbyes' and 'A Light in the Darkness'. (These names may change if they don't provide unique names to the respective novels.)
'Lifetime' takes the story through the leaner period of the 1880s and towards the end of the century. It includes Dafydd's abrupt departure from the house, but from Owain's perspective.
'Light' begins in 1899 and sees the turbulent end to the mine and life thereafter. Both books run parallel to the timeline of the first railway novel.
The Railway series
By the Banks of the Rheidol tells the story of Dafydd, from his flight from the family home in the 1890s, to rebuilding his life in the railway industry and the construction of two local narrow gauge lines. It also highlights his on-off romance with Gwen.
The Long Way Home continues Dafydd's tale, but is picked up in 1915. He is sent to war, with the railway division; so the tale is told a lot in Flanders, with communications back home to the family and Gwen. It ends in 1921.
A third novel will appear to tell the full story, but it is early days with this project.
Finnish Boys begins in 1940, on the night of the Estonian Red Terror. It follows Märt, Juhan and Maarja amid themes of escape, intrigue and deception.
Forest Brothers begins in 1944, as Nazi occupied Estonia is about to fall to the Soviet Red Army. Huw is a British agent sent to observe this. He returns to a land that he visited with the Baltic Fleet, during Estonia's war of independence in 1919, where he found and lost Maarja.
A third novel will complete this story, called Foula and Beyond. Huw and his family have settled in Shetland at the end of the war, but the traitor Godfrey has escaped. With the help of the Norwegian navy, they need to find him before it is too late.
These novels are not related to the Mining and Railway stories.
Publishing opportunities have rather upset this linear progression of tales, so that the books could be said to have been released out of order.
Forest Brothers was the first novel to be picked up and at that point was the a standalone story. The success of it led me to start thinking of other tales, thus creating a prequel and a sequel. I elected to release Finnish Boys next. as the story focusses on Estonians in an Estonian setting, as Forest Brothers did. The final tale is of Estonian people, but set in the north of Scotland.
A chance to publish the railway story 'By the Banks..' made it leap frog above the mining stories to be released and 'Long way Home' was the logical follow-on.
So, what of the future? There are other standalone projects in mind, but none are related to the above tales. My current workload is of writing a book about the history of the railway between Aberystwyth and Carmarthen – completely off-piste!
Hope that helps 🙂

RuntimeError: Gradients aren't CUDA tensors

any suggestions about why I am doing wrong?

A: Make sure that all the objects that inherit nn.Module also call their .cuda(). Make sure to call before you pass any tensor to them. (essentially before training)
For example, (and I am guessing your encoder and decoder are such objects), do this right before you call train().
encoder = encoder.cuda()
decoder = decoder.cuda()

This ensures that all of the model's parameters are initialized in cuda memory.
Edit
In general, whenever you have this kind of error,

RuntimeError: Gradients aren't CUDA tensors

somewhere, (from your model creation, to defining inputs, to finally supplying the outputs to the loss function) you missed specifying a Variable object to be in GPU memory. You will have go through every step in your model, verifying all Variable objects to be in GPU memory.
Additionally, you dont have to call .cuda() on the outputs. Given that the inputs are in gpu's memory, all operations also takes place in gpu's memory, and so are your outputs.

When you add a Swift file to an Objective-C target, or an Objective-C file to a Swift target, Xcode offers to create a bridging header. This is a .h file in the project. Its default name is derived from the target name, but it is arbitrary and can be changed, provided you change the target's Objective-C Bridging Header build setting to match.
An Objective-C .h file will be visible to Swift, provided you #import it in this bridging header.
$ find ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData -name "*Swift.h"
This will reveal the name of the hidden bridging header. Alternatively, examine (or change) the target's Product Module Name build setting; the hidden bridging header's name is derived from this.
Your Objective-C files will be able to see your Swift declarations, provided you #import this hidden bridging header into each Objective-C file that needs to see them.
Exactly where at the top of a .m file you #import the hidden bridging header can make a difference. The usual sign of trouble is that you get an "Unknown type name" compile error, where the unknown type is a class declared in Objective-C. The solution is to #import the .h file containing the declaration for the unknown type in your Objective-C files as well, before you #import the hidden bridging header. Having to do this can be an annoyance, especially if the Objective-C file in question has no need to know about this class, but it resolves the issue and allows compilation to proceed.
Pick a .m file to be translated into Swift. Objective-C cannot subclass a Swift class, so if you have defined both a class and its subclass in Objective-C, start with the subclass. Leave the app delegate class for last.
Remove that .m file from the target. To do so, select the .m file and use the File inspector.
If you were importing the corresponding .h file in the bridging header, remove the #import statement.
Create the .swift file for this class. Make sure it is added to the target.
In the .swift file, declare the class and provide stub declarations for all members that were being made public in the .h file. If this class needs to adopt Cocoa protocols, adopt them; you may have to provide stub declarations of required protocol methods as well. If this file needs to refer to any other classes that your target still declares in Objective-C, import their .h files in the bridging header.
The project should now compile! It doesn't work, of course, because you have not written any real code in the .swift file. But who cares about that? Time for a beer!
Now fill out the code in the .swift file. My technique is to translate more or less line-by-line from the original Objective-C code, even though the outcome is not particularly idiomatic (Swifty).
When the code for this .m file is completely translated into Swift, build and run and test. If the runtime complains (probably accompanied by crashing) that it can't find this class, find all references to it in the nib editor and reenter the class's name in the Identity inspector (and press Tab to set the change). Save and try again.
On to the next .m file! Repeat all of the above steps.
When all of the other files have been translated, translate the app delegate class. At this point, if there are no Objective-C files left in the target, you can delete the main.m file (replacing it with a @UIApplicationMain attribute in the app delegate class declaration) and the .pch (precompiled header) file.
Don't feel obligated to translate all your code into Swift. There may be sections of code that you want to leave in Objective-C, and there's nothing wrong with that. Indeed, some code must be left in Objective-C, because there are parts of the Cocoa API that Swift can't access. For example, you can't form a C function or pointer-to-function in Swift, so you can't call CGPatternCreate or AudioServicesAddSystemSoundCompletion without an Objective-C helper method. And appearanceWhenContainedIn: can't be called from Swift.
On the other hand, code that uses one of the performSelector: methods, which are also not available from Swift, might be left in Objective-C initially, but eventually you'll probably want to work out another approach so that you can replace it with Swift code.
Your app is now wholly or partly rewritten in Swift; congratulations! But if you've followed my advice, it probably isn't very Swifty at this point. It was more important to get your code running in the first place. Now that you've finished, though, you can go back and think about the code, making it more idiomatic. You may well find that things that were clumsy or tricky in Objective-C can be made much neater and clearer in Swift.
Obviously you'll want to adopt Swift native types where you can. Immutable / mutable pairs like NSString and NSMutableString, NSArray and NSMutableArray, and NSDictionary and NSMutableDictionary, can be replaced by Swift's own String, Array, and Dictionary types. And you'll find that you no longer need certain elaborate techniques associated with those types. Array, in particular, has the map, filter, and reduce instance methods; you'll get a lot of mileage out of them.
You'll also find that, where your code was relying on Objective-C's message-sending dynamism, you may be able to do without it, because in Swift a function is a first-class citizen. Here's an example.
In a flashcard app, I have a class Term, representing a Latin word. It declares many properties. Each card displays one term, with its various properties shown in different text fields. If the user taps any of three text fields, I want the interface to change from the term that's currently showing to the next term whose value is different for the particular property that this text field represents. Thus this code is the same for all three text fields; the only difference is which property to consider as we hunt for the next term to be displayed.
Swift has many features designed to force your code to be more reliable from the outset. A common mistake in Objective-C is to declare an instance property but forget to set it to an initial value; there's no penalty to sending a message to nil, so you can go for a long time without noticing the problem. Swift forces you to initialize all instance properties. And then, of course, there's Swift's infamous strict typing; it's easy, in Objective-C, to be vague about what sort of thing an array consists of, but a Swift array requires some definite element type. Don't fight these Swift features: be thankful for them! Merely getting your Swift code to compile is a form of auditing; your code is more likely to be correct, simply because of the nature of the Swift language.
If you've been hesitating to experiment with adopting Swift, hesitate no longer. There's never been a better time to start enjoying Swift! Swift 1.2 is available through the Xcode 6.3 beta, and it shows that the Swift language is achieving a solid maturity. Swift is a fun and easy language, and it won't take you long to translate some or all of your Objective-C app into Swift. You may be amazed at how much clearer and simpler your translated code turns out to be.
