York College Student Fought Poverty to Give Herself and Son a New Life
Sherrell "China" Robinson '22 had days when there wasn't enough food in the house to feed herself, but she pushed past her struggles to rewrite her story.
Sherrell "China" Robinson '22 has stood in the snow and the rain, sometimes dripping wet and freezing, waiting for the doors of the Academic Support Center at York College of Pennsylvania to unlock each morning.
Barb Zmolek, Director of the Center, eventually noticed. One day, while sharing snacks with the student, Zmolek mentioned that the Humanities Center was open 24-hours a day, so nobody had to stand out in the weather.
Robinson cried. It was a sense of relief for the tired and hungry single mother. Very few people ever noticed the struggles she's experienced the past few years, but for those who have, Robinson can't thank them enough.
"No one has to ask the right questions or make the conversation," Robinson says. "But, for the professors in my life who do, they have changed my life."
Taking the chance on herself
Robinson was living in North Philadelphia when the crime in her neighborhood got to be too much. She didn't want her young son, Naheem, to grow up watching people taken to the nearby hospital with gunshot wounds.
She connected with a friend she'd met through the Army Reserve who was living in York County, and she decided to pack her bags and move. It was 2018. Her son was less than a year old. Her first stop was in nearby Mount Joy, where her mother was living. She was told she could stay for a month, but then she better figure out what she was doing with her life.
For Robinson, the answer seemed obvious: She was going to college.
"A lot of people questioned my choice to go back to school," she says. "They told me I needed to just go out and get a job. I needed to support my son."
But Robinson felt she needed a degree to really change the course of her life. She found a job at a local warehouse, served in the Army Reserve on the weekends, and enrolled at York College. It was a start, she says, but it was not going to be easy.
A worthy challenge
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Robinson would spend her days at York College taking classes. She enrolled in the Criminal Justice program, with her heart set on someday opening a nonprofit that would help teens find their own path to secondary education.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, she worked at a warehouse, while filling Saturdays and Sundays with Army Reserve duties, sometimes taking extra training and classes through the military so she could earn more income. She also had side hustles selling food platters and doing hair.
Every morning, she walked her son the two miles from her apartment to his daycare and then walked to campus. She didn't have money for the bus. Some days, she didn't have enough food in the house to feed herself.
When her classes were over, Robinson would sprint two miles, with her heavy backpack, to pick her son up before daycare closed. She tried to think of it as staying in shape, but it soon caused her back pain.
At the same time, Robinson was going through some domestic issues. Through tears, she speaks about Pete Leasure, Assistant Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, who noticed and helped her leave the relationship.
"People never knew I was going through that," she says. "They don't always take the time to notice. It's really important that there are some who do."
'I'm pushing through'
Robinson says she doesn't like hypocrites. That's why she's made Dean's List every semester. That way, she can tell her son that he needs to go to college and make Dean's List. It won't make her a hypocrite, because she's already done it. Even though her parents were there if she needed them, she wanted to do it on her own.
"I can tell people I did this," she says. "I'm kind of happy my parents never handed me anything. No one helped me buy a textbook. I am proud of the role model I've become for my son."
The recognition of Robinson's efforts came this past year in the form of the Academic Senate's Khanna Scholarship. Robinson cried when she received it. The funds are a sigh of relief to a woman who still keeps busy, working her many jobs and showing up for class. The recognition is thanks to the professors who took notice, she says, not just of her struggles—but of her triumphs.
"School is one of the most difficult, annoying things I've ever done," she says. "But, I'm doing it. I'm pushing through. I'm not backing down. I'm changing my life for the better."

Q: Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration with m2e I'm getting this error for my maven project with Eclipse (m2e plugin):
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.1.1:exploded (execution: default, phase: compile)  pom.xml /MyGWT S    line 642    Maven Project Build Lifecycle Mapping Problem
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:2.4.0:generateAsync (execution: default, phase: generate-sources)   pom.xml /MyGWT  line 618    Maven Project Build Lifecycle Mapping Problem
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:2.4.0:i18n (execution: default, phase: generate-sources)    pom.xml /MyGWT  line 618    Maven Project Build Lifecycle Mapping Problem

Should I fix this error by doing a "Ignore" or this is fixable with "Discover new m2e connectors"?
I tried doing a "discover" but it seems there is no plugin for this on the marketplace.

A: The reason why m2e raise this Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: ... message is explained in the following page in details:
M2E plugin execution not covered
Generally speaking, The way m2e used for resolving/mapping plugins' goal execution into Eclipse build life cycle has been reinvented after version 0.12. Now m2e 1.0 requires explicit instructions what to do with all Maven plugins bound to "interesting" phases of a project build lifecycle. By either configure the lifecycle mapping in your project's pom, or use specific m2e configurator Eclipse plugin if somebody has kindly created it for the community.

Should I fix this error by doing a "Ignore" or this is fixable with "Discover new m2e connectors"?

Depend on your demand, if you don't expect Eclipse to run the complete build life cycle defined by Maven, just ignore it, otherwise configure each uncovered plugin execution properly (in case if there is no proper m2e configurator available), see the sample org.eclipse.m2e:lifecycle-mapping plugin configuration in that link.
Hope this helps.

A: Make sure that you have post-clean in your code like below.
   <executions>
     <execution>
        <configuration></configuration>
        <phase>post-clean</phase>

IBC 2016: Technicolor's New Facility Lets Creatives and Scientists Explore VR's Potential
by David Mercer | Sep 19, 2016
Technicolor recently opened its new Technicolor Experience Center in LA, where artists and technologists get to play with the latest gadgets in virtual and augmented reality. I was invited to experience some of the early results at Technicolor's behind-doors booth at IBC.
The first demo was an isolation cell. The viewer/user is sitting on the bed in a prison cell and able to examine the room and, more importantly, listen to the sounds coming from outside. The demonstration is intended to give some idea of the experience of solitary confinement, and while I have no doubt the real thing is horrific, I did not feel any particular discomfort from my short experience. The quality of the VR was as good as any other demo I have seen, which means it was in no way close to video "reality" but good enough to give a sense of the real-world experience.
The second demo was a space station, and two options were available to the user: the first was described as "ghost" mode, where the user was an observer; and the second was "participant", which involved "being" the spaceman in the movie. In both cases Technicolor used sensors to give the user "hands" with which to carry out certain actions, and these were visible. I was told that VR users who can see the rest of their virtual body were less likely to feel nausea in certain situations: I'm afraid this didn't prove to be the case for me, although feelings of discomfort were relatively minor compared to other experiences I have tried.
Technicolor was also demonstrating the ability to use a regular TV set-top box as a VR terminal for the home. The content was not delivered live, but cached for streaming to in-home connected devices, and could be viewed simultaneously by users of different screens. The explanation was that any latency caused by live distribution would be unacceptable for a VR experience.
In spite of all the hype around VR we have to remember that these are early days in a new industry and a lot of learning lies ahead. At the moment each project requires a fair amount of ad hoc development of tools and technologies and it will be a while before these become standardised and transferable. Most significantly, however, the creative industry is pouring time and resources into understanding VR and it is vital that this continues if VR's potential is to be fulfilled.

In the past few years, PokerStars has been through the ringer in its attempts to become legalized in New Jersey. But last week, state regulators finally announced that they had approved the site to begin operation in the state. While besides New Jersey, only Nevada and Delaware offer online poker, PokerStars' reentry into the US could have implications for other states considering legalizing the industry.
For several months, nothing was known of PokerStars' New Jersey online gambling license application. Once in a while, politicians or industry insiders would claim that the company would receive its license "imminently," but the news never seemed to pan out.
Last week, New Jersey's Division of Gaming Enforcement finally gave us the reason why things have taken so long. In its investigation into the company, the agency had gone to great lengths to ensure that PokerStars would be a good operator in the state. They revealed that they had interviewed 70 witnesses about the company, traveling to up to six international jurisdictions to do so.
The clean bill of health it has now received from New Jersey regulators can go a long way in convincing other states that PokerStars is not a "bad actor" – as some have accused it to be – and should therefore not be invited to apply for license.
In California, PokerStars fought against the powerful Pechanga tribe, which claimed that the company's role in Black Friday should preclude it from becoming licensed in the Golden State. Next year, when the topic of online poker surfaces again in the state legislature, critics of the company are going to have less of a leg to stand on for that argument.
While Stars has not yet launched in New Jersey, when it does, its traffic will be closely analyzed for an indicator of how much traffic it could bring to other states, like California. In Italy, the site has single-handedly grown the entire poker market by a massive 62% upon its entrance there. With the company's large marketing budget, name recognition and good reputation in the poker world, many believe that it can do the same in New Jersey's fledgling market.
The poker sites which currently operate legally in the US offer software which is seen as far inferior to PokerStars' polished product. When the iGaming giant finally launches in New Jersey, the argument that it should be considered a "bad actor" will become all the more silly.

Dunedin joins newly formed global mid-market Private Equity network
By Dunedin, October 15, 2015
First private equity network to span Europe and USA
Dunedin, the UK mid-market private equity house, today announced that it has joined the Alliance for Global Growth. The Alliance for Global Growth is a newly launched global network of ambitious lower mid-market private equity firms and the first of its kind to operate across Europe and the USA.
The Alliance for Global Growth currently includes ten members drawn from Western Europe and the United States. In addition to Dunedin, which targets buyouts of market-leading companies headquartered in the UK with a deal size of £20 -100 million, the network includes Nordic mid market specialist, Axcel; Finatem, a German private equity fund focused on the "Mittelstand"; French mid market house Nixen; Nazca, a leading Spanish mid-market firm; and US investors Harris Preston Partners, Brentwood Associates, Stone Goff, Wincove and Silver Oak Services Partners.
The formation of this network is driven by a continuing trend towards globalisation and comes at a time when significant opportunities exist for UK businesses to capitalise on increasing inbound and outbound investment.
The Alliance for Global Growth intends to support growth within its members' portfolios of companies during the investment period, but also to enhance opportunities for sale to international buyers at the point of exit. In addition, shared knowledge and intelligence across the network will benefit member firms and contribute to members' deal origination and the identification of overseas investment opportunities.
Internationalisation is one of the primary growth strategies that Dunedin adopts in order to add value to the businesses that it backs. This strategy is shared by other members of the Alliance for Global Growth. Of Dunedin's last four exits, three were to international trade buyers. These were UK headquartered businesses with a market leading position in their niche, which, with Dunedin's support, achieved greater scale and operational efficiency, ultimately attracting the attention of international trade buyers. Dunedin has had particular success in helping its portfolio companies to establish a presence in international markets.
The Alliance for Global Growth is the only global alliance spanning Europe and America. Future plans include establishing relationships with new members in Eastern Europe, Asia and South America. The current member firms collectively back a total of 122 companies across Western Europe and the US. A dedicated person will be recruited to manage the day to day business of the Alliance.
Shaun Middleton, Managing Partner of Dunedin commented: "We are constantly looking for ways to add value to our companies and ultimately to our investors and this initiative illustrates our commitment to the international growth of the businesses we back."
"Globalisation is a continuing trend and local knowledge and relationships are a critically important factor in the internationalisation of any business. Joining this newly formed Alliance gives Dunedin and its portfolio companies the benefit of a global perspective and a strong international network. We are very excited by the opportunities that the Alliance represents, especially since it is the first to secure members from Europe and the USA. We hope to bring in new international members in the coming months."
In addition to joining the Alliance for Global Growth, Dunedin has also announced three senior appointments to its international advisory board. These include:
David Lockwood OBE - the current CEO of Laird PLC with extensive experience of international operations. He is also Non-Executive Chairman of Knowledge Transfer Network Limited and formerly held senior positions in B.T., Thales and GEC.
Gerard Lavery – President of Xoepia Investments. He has a proven track record in delivering strategic initiatives, driving organisational change, profitable growth, operational excellence and sustainable productivity. Gerard was formerly CEO of GKN Land Systems and transformed the business to become a $1.5 billion plus global business. Prior to that he held senior executive positions at Ingersoll Rand in the US where he led global operations for the Climate Solutions business, Trane, General Electric and GEC Alstom.
Angus Cockburn - Chief Financial Officer of Serco, and formerly Aggreko plc. He brings a wealth of experience gained across a variety of sectors in high growth competitive global environments. Prior to Aggreko, Angus spent three years as Managing Director of Pringle of Scotland, five years at PepsiCo Inc and several years at KPMG working in the UK and USA. Angus is also an experienced Non-executive Director, currently serving on the Board of GKN Plc.

iOS: EasilyDo is a new app that aims to be a central hub for all of those personal things you need to do, but would rather have technology do for you. The app can clean up your contacts, let you know when to leave for your next appointment and give you driving or walking directions there (a la Google Now), dial into conference calls for you (and dial the access code), and more. The app even reminds you to say happy birthday to your friends on Facebook, then does it for you.
The app takes the idea of a "personal assistant" and tries to pack in as many useful features and tools possible to organize your life. When you install it, you have the option to connect it with the social networks and services it works with (Facebook, Google, GPS location, etc). You can pick and choose what data the app has access to, and the team behind EasilyDo promises your data is always kept protected and secure, and only used for the app to work. You can choose to add or remove specific features in the app at any time.
From there, EasilyDo alerts you when it's time to leave for your next appointment in order to make it in time, offers up directions so you get there quickly, or just tells you it's time for a conference call and offers to dial into it for you. It also alerts you to major daily events on your calendar, or friends' birthdays on Facebook, and so on. The app also scans your contacts for duplicates and merges or deletes them for you. When you've finished your work, the app even shows you how much you've completed and how productive you've been.

Dave Chappelle, John Mayer honor Bob Saget at Scleroderma Research Foundation event
September 22, 2022 by Express
Bob Saget's friends, family and former co-stars turned out for a cause close to the actor's heart on Wednesday night in Beverly Hills. Jimmy Kimmel, John Mayer and Jeff Ross stepped in to host "Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine," the Scleroderma Research Foundation's fundraising event which was spearheaded by the Full House star for 30 years. Saget's sister Gay died from scleroderma, a rare and often fatal disease, in 1994.
"These bookings have really improved vastly since Bob passed away," Kimmel quipped on stage as he got the night started.
Regina Hall, Rosie O'Donnell, Kathy Griffin, Norman Lear, Lori Loughlin, John Stamos, Jodie Sweetin, Joel McHale, Kevin Nealon, Seth Green and Howie Mandel were among the famous guests in attendance. The event, which was co-chaired by Saget's wife Kelly Rizzo, also served as a tribute to the beloved comedian. Rizzo and Saget's daughters were together at the event.

"What's so fun about tonight, the only thing that's fun about it, is we get to show Bob we wanted to do this," Kimmel continued, adding: "Everyone should have a friend like Bob Saget. Tonight's a tribute but it's also a celebration. … You didn't really know Bob until you saw him host a Scleroderma Research dinner. That was the true Bob Saget."
After dinner and a live auction, the comedy portion of the night featured standup sets by Nealon, Mandel and surprise guest Dave Chappelle. Saget and Chappelle were friends for decades, ever since the former's surprising cameo in 1998's Half-Baked. The memorable scene in the stoner comedy depicted Saget less as TV's dad, and more the raunchy jokester those close to him knew well.
Chappelle took the stage after making sure everyone's phones were locked away. He began by going through most of his current material, recounting when he was attacked four months ago at the Hollywood Bowl. The comic called out the New York Post for for doing an interview with the man who knocked him to the ground. (Isaiah Lee told the paper he was "triggered" by the comedian's jokes about the LGBTQ community and homelessness as he's bisexual.) Chappelle got laughs from the famous crowd recalling how Chris Rock came out after the stunning moment and joked the assailant was Will Smith.
But it was the end of Chappelle's set that was touching. The comedian played a "penultimate" message that Saget sent him months before the actor's death. In the video, Saget congratulates Chappelle on "doing the impossible" with his accomplishments and calls him one of the "sweetest" and "most honest" people he ever met.
Chappelle said he received the message at a time when he really needed to hear those things, calling Saget "a f***ing fantastic human being." The comedian said it was clear Saget "is in this room tonight."
"This night is important to him and I wouldn't miss it for the world," Chappelle declared.
The evening concluded with a performance by Mayer, who was emotional throughout the event. He played a few of "Bob's favorite songs," beginning with "Who Says" — with a very special guitar.
Mayer told the audience that he was playing the guitar Saget used during his last show in Florida. Rizzo tracked it down, bought it and gifted it to Mayer. The singer said it's one of his most prized possessions.
Saget was found dead in his Florida hotel room on Jan. 9. The actor was in the middle of a comedy tour and had performed a gig hours earlier. Saget's cause of death was the result of blunt head trauma after he likely fell backwards alone in his hotel room. He was 65.
In one of his final interviews, Saget proudly talked about his work with the Scleroderma Research Foundation. "I've done over 30 years of benefits and we've raised over $50 million," he shared. "It's one of my life's work."
Scleroderma is a group of rare diseases that involve the hardening and tightening of the skin. It may also cause problems in the blood vessels, internal organs and digestive tract, according to Mayo Clinic. There is is no cure, but the Scleroderma Research Foundation is hoping to change that. Wednesday's event raised over $1 million, something Saget would clearly be proud of.

Publisher's Note: Simple Beginnings
Todd Matherne,
Last month I attended a presentation by the Federal Reserve Bank and United Way about Investing in America's Workforce and the ALICE population — an acronym for Asset Limited Income Constrained Employed — and you can visit this site for more details about ALICE unitedwayalice.org/home.
What I want to write about is something panelist Stephen Toups of Turner Industries mentioned during this presentation. He talked about jobs and the struggle with finding employees who will show up for work consistently and drug-free. But there was one line he used that hit home for me. He said, "Someone who comes to work for us can go from entry-level hole watcher to sustainably employed and move out of this ALICE category."
As I sat and listened, I reflected on my career. In 1986 I had that job — hole watcher. My father was a plant guy —someone who earned a living and raised his family at one of the many industrial plants along the river — and in 1986 he was able to get me an entry-level position with a subcontractor doing turn-around work. So, for three weeks during Christmas break in college, I watched a hole.
That job did so much for me in those three weeks. The appreciation I had for my father and the career path that job moved me toward meant even more to me than the good pay it gave a college student during Christmas.
Thank you Dad. Love you.

Brokers, is this how you find startups to pursue?
You might miss out on all the fastest growing tech companies.
If you wait until news of a startup's success is public, it's just too late.
Many of our friends in commercial real estate use tactics that take too long when searching for startups. The difference between closing business with a high-growth company, or missing out, can be decided by just a few hours.
Are you doing the same thing as other brokers, or are you ready to differentiate yourself?
If you are "ahead of the game", your attack is multi-pronged.
You keep current with TechCrunch news, find shared connections on LinkedIn, and maybe even use AngelList to see who's hiring. Sometimes you'll get lucky and have a friend email you to keep an eye on a hot startup.
With all this information in hand, you might go to CoStar next to check on a company's leasing situation. After you print out a list of potential prospects, it's time to hit the phones and make a few cold calls. They won't be willing to chat for long.
All of this prospecting takes too much time. How much money could you have made last year if you could have saved reaching out to uninteresting companies?Imagine if you knew exactly which ones were worth spending more of your time pursuing. Imagine if they all came to you.
It's time to talk about becoming a broker with a constant referral basis. There's one thing you need to do, above all else, to generate warm referrals of technology companies.
Most startup founders can spot a pretender from miles away.
A busy CEO or COO of a small company is doing so many jobs at once that she can't afford to waste time with a broker who hasn't done his due diligence.
There's no better way of doing this than by becoming an authentic member of the startup community. Attending a tech meetup once in a while isn't enough. At that point, you're still an outsider.
You need to be relevant to entrepreneurs in their world, not yours. Try hosting conferences for founders to meet each other in person. The conferences shouldn't have anything to do with real estate. They should be focused on bringing quality founders together in one place, to facilitate valuable professional friendships.
When you're trying to win a founder's business, she will ask herself, "what has this broker done for me?" If she is able to think back to a conference where she networked with other entrepreneurs, she'll be more likely to go with you. That's how you become a valuable member of the community.
More importantly, you need to speak the language of founders. Who are their investors? How much funding do they have? What new products or features have they launched recently? What competitors are in their space? These are all questions you should have answers to.
These answers will differentiate you from all other brokers, and show any prospective tenants how serious you are about the startup ecosystem. Don't just magically appear when they start making money.
If you are able to differentiate yourself from other brokers in this way, life is about to get a lot better.
In a relationship-based industry like commercial real estate, warm introductions from friends and connections can make or break a career. You already know that!
If you're able to position yourself as *the* startup broker in your city, you won't have to worry about prospecting for smaller tenants. You'll be able to generate a constant stream of small inbound deals. You'll never have to worry again about not paying off your draw.
The best part of startups is how quickly they can grow in just a few years. With a steady flow of small companies, you won't have to worry about hunting whales. If you were a member of the startup ecosystem, maybe a friend in the community would have referred you to Mixpanel.
In just 3 years, they leased 3 offices. Their first was 1800 square feet. Their second was 17,000 square feet. Their third? 60,000 square feet.
More companies like that can be your's if you just make a few small tweaks to your prospecting tactics.

The complex environment of living organisms significantly challenges the selectivity of classic small-molecule fluorescent probes for bioimaging. Due to their predesigned topological structure and engineered internal pore surface, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have the ability to filter out coexisting interference components and help to achieve accurate biosensing. Herein, we propose an effective interference-resistant strategy by creating a COF-based hybrid probe that combines the respective advantages of COFs and small-molecule probes. As a proof of concept, a two-photon fluorescent COF nanoprobe, namely TpASH-NPHS, is developed for targeting hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a model analyte. TpASH-NPHS exhibits limited cytotoxicity, excellent photostability and long-term bioimaging capability. More importantly, compared with the small-molecule probe, TpASH-NPHS achieves accurate detection without the interference from intracellular enzymes. This allows us to monitor the levels of endogenous H2S in a mouse model of cirrhosis.

Q: There are two `dhcpcd` files in Debian buster - why is that? I was digging into dhcpcd behavior, and I've found something that confuses me: dhcpcd vs. dhcpcd5.
$ which dhcpcd
/sbin/dhcpcd

But dhcpcd is only a link: dhcpcd -> /etc/alternatives/dhcpcd, which in turn points back to: dhcpcd -> /sbin/dhcpcd5. So - a dhcpcd and a dhcpcd5 - both in sbin.
On my Raspberry Pi dhcpcd is apparently invoked at boot time from /etc/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service.d/wait.conf using this command: ExecStart=/usr/lib/dhcpcd5/dhcpcd -q -w. AFAIK, neither dhcpcd nor dhcpcd5 are called anywhere else in the system.
I guessed there must be a reason for all of this, but after searching I could find no explanation. Why was dhcpcd renamed dhcpcd5? Also - if it's only called once by systemd at boot time, why all the links & alternative/synonym?

A: This is all for historical reasons. There used to be a dhcpd package which integrated with ifupdown, running one instance of dhpcd per interface.
Version 5 of the project changed behaviour, with a single instance handling all interfaces. To simplify upgrades, it was packaged as an entirely new package; this allowed administrators to have both versions in parallel, and handle the configuration upgrade as they saw fit.
The dhcpcd symlink is still used by the init script on non-systemd-managed systems.

A: This is the "alternatives" system in action.
In this system the conventional name of the program is a symbolic link into /etc/alternatives/ and the actual program binary is a differently named file somewhere else.
You can see this with other programs that are set up to use the "alternatives" system.  For example: Whilst /usr/bin/vim is the conventional name for VIM, the actual program binaries that the "alternatives" system permits switching between are variously /usr/bin/vim.tiny, /usr/bin/vim.nox, and so forth.
In this particular case, there used to be two alternatives, /sbin/dhcpcd5 provided by the dhcpcd5 package and /sbin/dhcpcd3 provided by the dhcpcd package.
In the post-install maintainer scripts for their packages (dhcpcd5 dhcpcd) they would each use update-alternatives to make the "alternatives" system create the dhcpd symbolic link at the conventional name, picking the highest priority underlying binary that is installed.
As M. Kitt noted, the package that provided dhcpcd3 has been removed.
So this is now an "alternatives" configuration with only one possible alternative.  ☺

2 A Druid's Herbal for the Sacred Earth Year
Hopman, Ellen Evert Trade Paperback
For the ancient Druids, the healing and magical properties of herbs were inseparable from the larger cycles of the seasons, the movements of the planets, and the progression of a human life. This book shows the reader how to use herbs when creating rituals to celebrate festivals and significant life passages such as births, house blessings, weddings, funerals, and naming ceremonies. Drawing on extensive research and a deep personal experience with Pagan traditions, it explores the history and folklore surrounding the eight major Celtic festivals. Using these Celtic traditions as examples, the author suggests ways to incorporate the symbolic and magical power of herbs into personal rituals that honor all phases of life from childbirth to last rites. Filled with practical information and imaginative suggestions for using herbs for healing, ceremony, and magic, this book is an indispensable and comprehensive guide to age-old herbal practices.
3 A Druid's Herbal of Sacred Tree Medicine
The Druids used the ancient Ogham Tree Alphabet to work magic and honor the dead, surrounding each letter with medicinal and spiritual lore. Poets and bards created a secret sign language to describe the letters, each of which is named for a tree or a plant. For centuries this language was transmitted only orally in order to protect its secrets. Combining her extensive herbal knowledge and keen poetic insight, Ellen Evert Hopman delves deeply into the historic allusions and associations of each of the 20 letters of the Ogham Tree Alphabet. She also examines Native American healing methods for possible clues to the way ancient Europeans may have used these trees as healing agents. Druidic spiritual practices, herbal healing remedies, and plant lore are included for each tree in the alphabet as well as how each is used in traditional rituals such as the Celtic Fire Festivals and other celebrations. Hopman also includes a pronunciation guide for the oghams and information on the divinatory meanings associated with each tree. A few small illustrations (b&w).

Wu, Zong (Compiled by), and Mao, Li (Compiled by), and Frantzis, Kumar (Foreword by) Shelter Publications 2000 936070145 Illustrated. Trade paperback
The present is born out of the past. Chi Gung is an ancient Chinese system which emphasizes improving the flow of the life force, chi, by opening the body s energy centers and channels. It is called the internal martial arts, and is the original basis for Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and the more well-known martial arts. The practice represented here is over 3000 years old and yet it is practiced in modern times. There are 30 sets of physical exercises with a total of 318 drawings. These drawings are watercolors based on silk scrolls and cave paintings and enhance the classic nature of the presentation. This is a serious system that practitioners consider to be more basic to health and fitness than cardiovascular exercise. Exercises involve simple movement with many repetitions to achieve results. The modern use of these ancient exercises is based on selection of sets of each, consistent with the level of fitness and integrated with whatever sports or other exercise is involved.

9 Chlorella: The Emerald Food
Bewicke, Dhyana, and Potter, Beverly A, Ph.D. Ronin Publishing (CA) 1993 9.78E+12 Trade paperback
The single celled micro-alga Chlorella is the high tech food that is as old as life itself. The highest source of natural chlorophyll, Chlorella has almost three times the protein of beef. One acre produces 15, 000 kilograms of protein, nearly 20 times the per-acre yield of soybeans. Chlorella's ability to purify water and air while producing food make traveling and living in outer space possible, can transform animal waste to animal feed, and Chlorella ponds clean waste water while providing sanctuaries for birds and fish. With the intriguing regenerative qualities of the Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), Chlorella is a highly prized health food in Japan, where millions of people eat it daily. Chlorella covers the many benefits of this ancient organism, including recipes for incorporating Chlorella into your diet.
10 Combat First Aid: A Citizen's Guide to Treating Battlefield Injury DVD
Machine, Garret 805966063232 DVD
One of the most overlooked aspects of lethal combat is the aftermath: what if you or your battle buddy is gravely injured and needs medical attention before the EMTs arrive? In this video, former Israeli Special Forces medic Garret Machine teaches you the lifesaving skills he learned on some of the world's most dangerous battlefields. He begins by putting together a basic first aid kit comprised of items anyone can purchase, and from there goes into how each one is used, from personal bandages to tourniquets to airway devices and more. Concentrating on a step-by-step schematic of assessment and treatment of the most severe injuries first, Machine prepares you for the kinds of medical contingencies you're most likely to encounter as a result of damage in the field: stopping arterial bleeding, providing rescue breathing, and prepping your patient for transport. He keeps the focus on tactical situations rather than the perfection of an antiseptic hospital so that if the worst should happen, wherever it is, you'll be prepared and ready.

12 Deadly Harvest: The Intimate Relationship Between Our Health and Our Food
Bond, Geoff 9780760000000 Trade Paperback
With a record number of overweight people and an alarming increase in degenerative diseases, many of us find ourselves turning to meds or fad diets in an effort to drop excess pounds or recover our health. Since most drugs come with dangerous side effects, modifying our diet would seem relatively safe and simple. But what if our foods were doing more harm than good, and fad diets only made matters worse? Deadly Harvest is a groundbreaking book that carefully examines how the foods we eat today have little in common with the foods of our ancestors, and why this fact is so important to our health. It also offers a proven program to enhance health, combat illness, and improve longevity. Author Geoff Bond is a nutritional anthropologist who has for years investigated both foods of the past and our prehistoric eating habits. Using the latest scientific research and studies of primitive tribal lifestyles, Bond first explains the actual diet that our ancestors followed--a diet that was and still is in harmony with the human species. He then describes how the foods in today's diets disrupt our biochemistry and digestive system, leading to health disorders such as allergies, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, obesity, and more. Most important, he explains the appropriate measures we can take to avoid these diseases--and even beat them back--through healthy eating. Contrary to what many people believe, the disorders that plague our society are not inevitable, but are the unfortunate result of modern dietary choices. Deadly Harvest not only explains why these problems have arisen, but offers a blueprint for improving our diet, our health, and our quality of life.

28 Getting Back in Shape: 32 Workout Programs for Lifelong Fitness (3rd Edition)
Anderson, Bob & Others Trade Paperback
Getting Back in Shape is a unique workout book for anyone who wants to get fit, written by international stretching authority Bob Anderson, bodybuilding legend Bill Pearl, exercise physiologist Ed Burke, and now with Olympic runner and author Jeff Galloway. The authors believe that most recent fitness books are too ambitious for the average person. In the same mode as Stretching and Getting Stronger, this is a simple, visual approach to lifelong fitness. Among the four of them, they have spent a total of over 100 years working in four different fields of physical activity: Bob in stretching, Bill in weight training, Ed in aerobic exercise, Jeff in running. They've worked with many thousands of people. They watched the fads come and go. They've learned what works — and what does not. They've seen that the exercise programs and "fitness prescriptions" of the last two decades have not worked for most people. For one thing, the standards have been too high for the average person. (Less than 10% of Americans now exercise enough to get cardiorespiratory health benefits.). They've also seen a growing appreciation over the past few years for the value of "moderate" exercise. Something one can stick with for a lifetime. They believe that what's needed in this day and age are structured, balanced workout programs which: are not too extreme, are mainly graphic, let you choose your level of commitment, will fit within your busy schedule. They've combined their experience to produce Getting Back in Shape. Using this book will start one on a gradual, steady path that will lead to a lifetime of: better cardiovascular health, greater strength, & improved flexibility

Home News New Edinburgh office development is tech savvy
New Edinburgh office development is tech savvy
EDINBURGH'S largest single office building has officially opened after a major refurbishment was carried out to meet growing demand from the technology sector.
One Lochrin Square, the former site of Scotmid HQ in the heart of the Capital's Exchange District, features 64,000 sq ft of Grade A office space over five floors. Owners UBS Asset Management undertook a 'defurbishment' on the ground floor – a new trend which provides attic style office accommodation to attract technology, media or telecoms(TMT) firms.
Nearly a third of all office space transacted across Edinburgh in 2016 involved TMT businesses, compared with a UK average of 16%, according to JLL.
Toby Withall, office agency partner at Knight Frank said, "In the context of a market where new or refurbished Grade A product is fast diminishing and occupier interest is increasing, this new offering is set to benefit and ensure there is prime stock for the more diverse range of active occupiers in the market."
Craig Watson, director at JLL in Scotland added, "One Lochrin Square's owners have seized the opportunity to reposition the property within Edinburgh's changing business landscape by providing an open plan finish which has never been speculatively delivered before in the city. With 30% of Edinburgh office space take-up in 2016 accounted for by the TMT sector, followed closely by professional services, this refurbishment will ensure that the property stands out from the competition and appeals to some of Edinburgh's younger and more dynamic sectors such as TMT."

After taking a Global Sustainability class this semester and loving it, I have started to live a more sustainable life. More people should, too!
This is super easy to do and helps not only the Earth, but your electricity bill too!
Whether you're making food for yourself or at a dining hall, taking only the food you can eat and then going back for more cuts back on food waste.
Using your reusable water bottle just 15 times reduces your environmental impact! The water it takes to clean your water still has a lesser impact than a throw away cup from Starbucks.
The clothing industry is one of the worst in terms of environmental impact, and buying new clothing only adds to that. Going to your local thrift shop is good for your wallet and the environment.
They are far more energy efficient than their counter-part and will also help your electricity bill be lower. The light they emit may be unpleasing for some, but worth it in the long run!
These are very simple things that have a big impact. You could also walk more places if you live on campus or in a city, and take the stairs when possible. We all have a part to do when it comes to sustainability.

Blaze kills 23 people at Russian psychiatric hospital
By: CNN Wire
A fire killed 23 people and injured another 23 at a Russian psychiatric hospital, authorities said Sunday.
The blaze started late Saturday night at the hospital in the southwestern region of Voronezh.
Hospital workers told state-run media there were 140 people in the building, including 50 who were bedridden.
An investigation is underway.
Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations said the fire has been extinguished. Search-and-rescue teams were surveying the site and inspecting the building.

Q: When does a WPF adorner layer first become available? I'm trying to add an overlay effect to my UserControl and I know that's what adorners are used for in WPF. But I'm a bit confused about how they supposedly work. I figured that adorner layer is implicitly handled  by WPF runtime, and as such, should always be available.
But when I create an instance of my UserControl in code, there is no adorner layer there. The following code fails with exception:
var view = new MyUserControl();
var target = view.GetAdornerTarget(); // This returns a specific UI control.
var layer = AdornerLayer.GetAdornerLayer(target);
if (layer == null)
{
    throw new Exception("No adorner layer at the moment.");
}

Can someone please explain to me, how this is supposed to work? Do I need to place the UserControl instance into a top-level Window first? Or do I need to define the layer myself somehow? Digging through documentation got me nowhere.
Thank you!

A: The AdornerLayer is generated by both the AdornerDecorator and ScrollContentPresenter classes.  If there isn't either of these classes in the visual tree that parents your control, then it will not have an associated AdornerLayer.
You could add an AdornerDecorator to your UserControl, but that will ensure that your Adorners are only on top of controls that are descendants of the UserControl.
The default ControlTemplate for the Window includes an AdornerDecorator, so if you add the UserControl to a Window, then it should get the AdornerLayer.

A: It all depends on where you are calling the code and where the control resides. In the case you've provided, the control hasn't yet been instantiated via the InitializeComponent() method. You'll actually have to place the control somewhere in one of your views or just have it declared in XAML ahead of time to be able to pull the AdornerLayer.


On Monday 14 November at 12:00 h, the ICREA research professor, Andrea Cerutti, will give a DCEXS-UPF Seminar entitled "B cells at the intersection of innate and adaptative immunity", at PRBB's Ramón y Cajal room.
Andrea Cerutti leads the research group in B Cell Biology at Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM). He and his research team take advantage of different cellular, histological and molecular techniques to address basic questions related to the regulation of B cell activation and antibody production. B cells are a type of lymphocyte whose main function is to fight infections by producing antibodies.
The B Cell Biology group is especially interested in the immunoglobulin class switching of the antibody heavy chains, which by this process switch from the Immunoglobulin M isotype (IgM) to IgG, IgA or IgE isotypes. This process is critical for the diversification of the antibody repertoire and in general is thought to be highly dependent on the activation of B cells by another type of immune system lymphocyte known as CD4+ T cells, via CD40 ligand-CD40 interaction (Cerutti et al, Immunity 1998; Cerutti et al., Nature Immunol. 2001).
Cerutti's group had previously identified an evolutionarily primitive pathway that stimulates class switching in B cells independently of CD4+ T cells and CD40 (He et al., Immunity 2007; Xu et al, Nature Immunol. 2007). This pathway involves the activation of B cells by BAFF (B cell-Activation Factor of the TNF Family) and APRIL (A Proliferation-Inducing Ligand) (Litinskiy et al., Nature Immunol. 2002), two innate B cell-stimulating factors structurally and functionally related to CD40 ligand. They found that dendritic cells, macrophages, neutrophils and epithelial cells release BAFF and APRIL upon sensing highly conserved microbial molecular patterns through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) (Cerutti and Rescigno, Immunity 2008). This process ultimately triggers class switching and antibody production as a result of the linking together of BAFF and APRIL with three distinct B cell receptors, known as TACI, BCMA and BAFF-R (Cerutti, Nature Rev. Immunol. 2008). Antibodies produced through this T cell-independent pathway are important for controlling fast replicating pathogens, commensal bacteria and dietary antigens.
The B cell Biology group is currently studying the mechanism by which BAFF and APRIL stimulate class switching in systemic and mucosal B cells (He et al., Nature Immunol. 2010). A better understanding of these mechanisms may lead to the identification of novel vaccine strategies to boost vaccine-induced antibody production (Cerutti, Science 2010). Recently, we found that BAFF and APRIL stimulate a non-canonical form of class switching from IgM to IgD in the upper respiratory mucosa (Chen et al., Nature Immunol. 2009). Ongoing efforts are aimed at characterizing the function of IgD antibodies and determining their pathogenic role in autoinflammatory syndromes with periodic fever, such as hyper-IgD syndrome.
They are also studying the role of BAFF and APRIL in various B cell tumors, as well as the fact that HIV and HIV-associated opportunistic agents, such as the EBV virus, dysregulate BAFF and APRIL production (Qiao et al., Nature Immunol. 2006; Xu et al., Nature Immunol. 2009).
Lastly, infections caused by encapsulated bacteria like Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are the causes of the high infantile mortality due to the absence of Marginal Zone B cells (MZB) in children. These cells are a specific type of B cells found in the spleen that can generate antibodies against the polysaccharides of encapsulated bacteria. To avoid these infections in children efficient vaccines are required and that is why another of the group's aims is the characterization of these still highly unknown MZB cells. When characterizing these cells it is essential to determine the role that other cells, such as macrophages, dendritic and endothelial cells can play in expressing BAFF or APRIL and in inducing T-independent responses in MZB cells.

The District Attorney chose not to prosecute Alabama players Cam Robinson, a surefire first-round pick in next year's NFL Draft and one of the vital members of the Crimson Tide, on a felony stolen weapon charge, along with "Hootie" Jones on a misdemeanor.
While the two players weren't punished by the law, Nick Saban and Alabama reportedly have handed down punishment for the duo, per KNOE (H/T Dr. Saturday):
"Per documents published by television station KNOE in Louisiana, the two players were indefinitely suspended on May 19. Jones and Robinson were arrested early May 17 for drug and weapons possession charges.
The players have also faced other discipline. According to the video report from KNOE, documents show both players have had to undergo weekly drug tests and visit drug counselors. They had also been told to take gun safety classes and Robinson did 26 hours of police ride alongs later in May."
With these issues in their rearview, Robinson and Alabama can shift its focus to defending the national championship when the season kicks off September 3, against USC in Arlington.

China's Central Bank: Here's the Latest on the Digital Yuan
The development of a digital yuan, or DECP, has taken a great leap forward, according to the People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank.
In a statement (in Chinese) Thursday, the bank said the "processes of top-level design, setting industry standards, developing potential functions and integration testing," were "almost complete."
The bank said it has been working on the expected two-tiered system that would offer "controllable" anonymity and the functionality to replace paper cash.
The central bank, which assembled a special task force to conduct research on digital currencies and established the Research Institute of Digital Currency, both in 2014, accelerated its digital yuan work after Facebook unveiled its digital currency project Libra in June.
As far as the central bank is concerned, DCEP beats Libra in terms of major technical features such as the ability to process transactions offline on mobile phones. It also claims one of the goals for the digital yuan is to promote the internationalization of the renminbi since it can be used in cross-border payments without going through banking intermediaries that charge a fee and take more time to process these transactions.
The bank statement did not say when the work on the digital yuan was expected to be completed.

Our Quang Ho Art Residency comprises a 3-day master painting class and a continuing art retreat to explore and create using the principles learned and enjoy plein air painting in Provence, France. Quang Ho is one of the most sought after artists of our time for his exceptional artwork, his ability to impart wisdom and teach the painting skills to take our work to a new level.
The master class takes place on the château's estate where you will be painting models and the natural world on the grounds. After the master class we become fully immersed in Provençal life during lavender season. Provence is the largest center of lavender production in the world. Be prepared for a sensual feast that encompasses stunning color, wonderful fragrance and the hum of the happiest bumble bees we have ever met, all while watching and painting an ocean of lavender as it moves in the breeze.
After the stimulating and energetic master class we take our group to try out their new painting skills in the most beautiful villages, vineyards and historic sites in Provence. Evenings are spent en Château for ongoing painting demonstrations, discussions and art related activities with the instructor and your fellow attendees. Quang has a unique way of discussing, de-codifying and identifying eight approaches to creating a visual dialogue. Once you learn these, the possibilities for your own personal growth as an artist just open up.
This workshop and retreat blends a fantastic program of learning with Quang while immersing ourselves fully in château life and then, practice what you learned in the masterclass at daily painting locations surrounded by the beauty of Provence. We are following a tradition of artists who traveled to France to live side-by-side and learn from the best.
Quang Ho was born in Vietnam in 1963. He emigrated to the United States at age 12. Quang had his first one-man-show at Tomorrow's Masters Gallery in Denver Colorado at the age of 16. Tragically his mother's death in 1982 left Quang with the responsibility of raising five younger siblings. That same year, Quang attended the Colorado Institute of Art on a National Scholastics Art Awards Scholarship. With the great tutelage at the Institute he developed a foundation for his artistic understanding.
Working mostly in oils, Quang's subject matter ranges from still-lifes, landscapes, interiors, and dancers, to figurative pieces.
Quang Ho's paintings are collected internationally. He is an important American artist and enjoys an international reputation for his work. He has completed commissions for numerous prominent clients — including the Adolph Coors Company, the Colorado Symphony, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra among others. Ho's work has been seen in numerous invitational and solo exhibitions, and has been featured in publications including Southwest Art, Art of the West, and Art-Talk. Don't miss this opportunity to watch a master artist at work.
Paint, sketch and enjoy the good life in beautiful Proveçal surroundings.
Daily painting locations: Private vineyards, charming villages, markets (more painting and excursion locations varied upon weather).
Travel, live, learn and paint side-by-side with Quang and fellow artists.
Quang Ho masterclass workshop and retreat at our château location near Avignon, France. Limited number of guests.
