Pending Dyslexia Legislation in Massachusetts
By Nancy Duggan, MA. S.C.
Decoding Dyslexia Massachusetts (DD-MA) began a campaign in 2012 to raise dyslexia awareness across the state through collaboration with parents, educators, and neuroscience researchers. The effort has made steady progress in building dyslexia awareness in the parent, educator, and policy-maker communities.
Since 2013, dyslexia legislation in Massachusetts has come further along than ever before.
Initiating Legislative Action
One of DD-MA's goals goals has been to initiate legislative changes that would help students get early services by providing the scientific context for dyslexia and the need for early identification. The legislative process in Massachusetts includes a two-year session. We have worked together to navigate the process. Public Dyslexia Hill Days, private meetings, and multiple public hearings have provided legislators with:
an understanding of the challenges that families face,
the need for educators and students to get support,
the relevant neuroscience research that supports our mission.
Dyslexia legislation has come further along the path than ever before. The 2016–2018 legislative session started with four proposed bills, H.330, H.2872, S.294, and S.313, that can be called "dyslexia legislation" pertaining to education. These bills were supported, in combination, by over 50 different members of the Massachusetts 190th General Court, the official title of the State Legislature. Special thanks goes out to the initial sponsors who drafted this legislation, Rep. Alice Peisch of Wellesley and Rep. Chris Walsh of Framingham, chair and vice-chair, respectively, of the Joint Committee on Education; Sen. Bruce Tarr and Sen. Barbara L'Italien; and the legislators who petitioned alongside them. The vibrant team of DD-MA students, parents, educators, and neuroscience researchers are responsible for calling attention to this issue as a passionate, respectful, and informed team of advocates for improved outcomes, and these legislators are working together to take action.
The legislative process in Massachusetts requires a hearing, which took place on July 11, 2017. Families joined a powerful team of experts who explained to the legislators in live testimony and with written testimony the need for dyslexia legislation, particularly the importance of early screening and identification, a clear and accurate understanding in schools of what dyslexia is, and that evidenced-based instruction, teacher training and professional development are needed. DD-MA worked with families across the state and multi-disciplinary experts to ensure that the testimony was scientifically sound, broad-based, including social-emotional outcomes, academic outcomes, and teacher, educator, and administrator support.
DD-MA is very pleased that the Joint Committee on Education has released legislation favorably that addresses dyslexia and early screening. Both the House and the Senate will consider the same version in each chamber. When the new draft language is public, it will be posted on the Massachusetts State Legislature website. Once the redrafted bills, with new numbers, are made public, the clerk will also post which committee will be next to consider the legislation. For the time being, parents, students, and educators can continue to advocate for dyslexia awareness and the need for the legislation to pass by building a positive and informed relationship with your State Representative, State Senator, and their legislative staff. Share with them your personal story and express interest in the outcome of dyslexia legislation.

Are you writing in the zone?
Last week in book writing class, management coach and HR consultant Carrie Beers shared how she found herself amidst intense turmoil at a time when she needed tranquility to foster her creative process. While having her home re-done, she'd temporarily "stored" boxes and piles everywhere, particularly in her office which seemed an uninviting place for inspired writing.
She remained determined to meet her commitments and work on a chapter of writing, but the environment seemed unlikely to support creative flow. And then…in the middle of all the chaos, she came upon her notes from my workshop "Writing in the Zone" which she had taken last year.
Carrie read through her notes and reconnected with her muse–that creative inner energy that seems all-knowing, wise and abundant. In the first workshop, her muse had seemed a bit more distant–vague–just a feeling and colors. But that subtle connection alone helped her to get in touch with the sense that it was finally time to begin writing her book.
a message in the sand from Carrie's muse?
and encouraged her to listen and let the book unfold.
I'm always impressed with the clarity and simplicity with which our muses convey information. Somehow, when the answers come, we don't just get the understanding in our minds. Our hearts and very souls begin to own the answers. They become real, tangible and, therefore, easy to take root in our lives and our writing.
If you're local enough (Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut), I hope you'll join me for a half day of inspired writing, learning my 5-step system for inspired writing, connecting with your muse in new, powerful ways, and making headway on a project or embracing a new project–maybe one you don't even know about yet.
I'll be teaching writing in the zone at All That Matters in Wakefield, RI on Sunday, February 28 from 12;30-4. You can register here. If you can't make it, feel free to ask any questions about writing in the zone on this blog–or tell me your writing challenge and I'll suggest a solution!
Lisa, wished I lived closer! Would love to attend your workshop.
I have a question. My book is based on both my experiences as well as the research I've been doing. What do I do when I 'know' I've read something but can't remember where? I think this has been one of my biggest hangups.
That's a tricky one. You certainly want to give credit when you cite others. I would try to take notes as you read and put them in an easy to read format so you know where things come from in future. If information is public domain, you don't have to credit others, but if it's not, it's important to reference sources. I guess, worst case, you could mention you're not sure where you read something and have a disclaimer asking for people to fill in blanks, but you'd have to run that idea by an attorney, I think.
Thanks, Lisa. I do take notes but naturally, the thing I want to remember isn't in my notes.
Oftentimes, it's more that I want to validate in my own mind that what I'm writing is based on authority. I'm not necessarily looking for an actual quote. I guess I'll just have to start trusting my instincts and hope I run across the information at a later time.
Thanks again. Hope you have a good attendance at your workshop.

Mud, dust, potholes - the Crooked Creek Road story
paul@blackmountainnews.com
Residents of Crooked Creek Road were glad when part of their road in Broad River was paved eight years ago. Now some of them are pushing to pave the last half mile, a stretch they say is dangerous for them, for nearby livestock and the fish in a protected trout stream.
But at least one family who would have to grant right of way to their road frontage contends the dust and mud aren't so bad. "We're used to all that stuff," resident Rosa Morris said. "That's just a dirt road for you."
Suzanne Fisher, who lives in one of two large housing developments on Crooked Creek Road, said the ruts and potholes are "far more than an inconvenience."
"It's really just unsafe on all kinds of different levels," she said on a recent drizzly morning, sidestepping large puddles that pock the road. "It seems pretty surprising to me," she said, "that in Buncombe County, a county that tries to keep things up and do good things, that we have a road that's in this terrible shape. And it's all of a half of a mile."
The state Department of Transportation has no plans to pave the road "due to unavailable right of way," district engineer Jason Willis said. Only two of the eight owners of property along the unpaved portion have signed right-of-way agreements, agreements that would allow the state 25 feet in to their property, he said.
Crooked Creek Road straddles the Buncombe-McDowell County line. Coming in from McDowell, it's paved. But coming off N.C. 9, motorists slalom through a course of deep potholes. Rain and snow leave the road a sloppy mess that makes oncoming traffic a challenge in places. The traffic in dry summers fills the air with dust that coats the trees, houses and cows along the road.
Even during a recent wet, messy morning, the road was heavily used. It's used by residents of Creston, a community of 130 lots and about 40 houses, and Catawba Falls Preserve, a development with more than 230 home sites. Increasingly, McDowell County residents who work in the Arden-Fletcher area use Crooked Creek Road, said Gary Davis, a Montreat business professor who has a house on the road.
"I don't feel safe in my four-wheel-drive in the winter (driving) over it," he said. "The ruts can be so deep that the bottom of the car will drag on it."
Davis has a house on property there that has been in his family for several generations. He lives there in summer and visits in winter, when he lives in Black Mountain. What remains constant is the sorry state of the road, he said.
He was one of three frontage owners who deeded right of way to the state to get the McDowell County portion paved. Afterward, people thanked him, he said.
Paving the rest of it is more than a matter of safety and aesthetics. It's also an environmental concern for him and other neighbors. During heavy rains, silt pours into Glade Creek, a trout stream.
Davis is also concerned for the health of his elderly uncle and aunt, who live by the road. He's worried about the dust he said Floyd and Rose Morris breathe from passing cars.
The Morrises, however, aren't nearly as troubled. "It ain't all that bad," Rosa Morris said. "It's a little muddy. We don't pay it much attention."
She wouldn't mind seeing the road paved, and neither would Floyd Morris. But "nobody ain't going to sign" the right of way agreements, he said.
He wouldn't, he said.
"All the people that lives on this road said they wasn't going to sign," he said.
Rep. John Ager hopes they'll change their mind. The representative for state House District 115, which includes Broad River, said there's money in the state Department of Transportation budget for projects like this.
But both he and Willis said the right of way issue has to be settled first. The state spends about $6,000 a year to grade the road, Willis told Fisher in a letter.
"In the long run – the 'not too' long run – paving would save the state money," Ager said. "Grading that short section of road adds up pretty fast."
Ager would like to act as a facilitator to get the project done. He offered to contact the six families and, in Raleigh, argue for the money to get it paved.
Fisher understands the concerns of the six property owners, that their taxes might go up or that motorists will fly over the asphalt.
But she wonders why their concerns should trump those of the several dozen nearby residents who have to bump along the road every day.
The support for paving is "universal" among Creston and Catawba Falls residents, said Fisher, who sits on the Creston residential board.
She cites the case of one Creston resident who, in severe pain, waited 20 minutes for an ambulance from Old Fort to arrive.
That's not a bad response time, but what if the incident had happened in winter, the road was awful and the ambulance had to come from Buncombe County, she wonders.
"You worry (what would happen) if a fire truck or ambulance couldn't get through because of the road," she said.

At what point can a being be said to have gained sentience?
Is there a way to prove if something is self-aware?
Can human consciousness be "felt" without complex emotions such as love, sorrow, anger, empathy ? If so, what would it be like ?
What does it mean to have a sense of geometry innate to us - if that is in fact the case?

Ron Paul holds massive rally in Florida despite tropical storm
Even though the Republican National Convention was delayed because of the tropical storm, Isaac didn't stop Ron Paul and his supporters from holding a massive rally at the University of South Florida Sundome.

The Republican National Convention kicked off today and immediately went on recess afterwards, due to the threat of Hurricane Isaac. The storm will most likely miss Tampa, where the RNC is being held, and the weather was not enough to keep thousands of Ron Paul supporters out of town. Unlike other former Republican Candidates for President like Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul was not only not in debt, he had a $2.5 million surplus, much of which he spent on a rally at the University of South Florida Sundome on Sunday.Fans donned Ron Paul Revolution T-shirts and many others wore clothes with the words of the U.S. Constitution written on them and packed the arena.Ron Paul was introduced by his son Rand, who many believe could be the Republican Presidential nominee in 2016. Ron Paul spoke for nearly an hour, thanking his fans, and encouraging people to carry the torch."I have been taught and I am convinced that Patriotism is that quality that permits us in a free society to criticize our own govt when they're wrong," Rep. Paul said.Kevin Singer, visiting from Louisville, KY echoed the sentiments of so many Ron Paul Supporters, in talking about what he likes so much."Liberty, freedom, less government, smaller government, more rights to do what we want to do, rights to keep our money that we work hard for and earn."John Finn flew from Ireland to see Dr. Paul speak. "I was up at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning watching the debates live when i was in Ireland," Finn said. "You have to see the man, he's like a Moses for all time."On the other side of the city at the Florida State fairgrounds, the three day Paul Festival drew smaller crowds, but was put on by other longtime supporters. These events are going on as delegates from Maine are still trying to fight the fact that the RNC only sat half of them, who support Ron Paul, putting in place ten others who support Mitt Romney.

Maná Will Be The Latin Recording Academy's Person of the Year
Maná, the legendary Mexican rock band that has held sway on the upper echelons of the Billboard charts for over three decades, will be honored as the 2018 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year.

This will be the first time that a group or band receives the award in the Latin Grammys' 19-year history. Maná, comprised of lead singer Fher Olvera, drummer Alex González, guitarist Sergio Vallín, and bassist Juan Calleros, has won six Latin Grammys and four Grammy awards during their career. The group has also landed 11 No. 1s on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart, more than any other duo or group in the chart's history.
Maná is being honored as much for their creative and musical accomplishments as for their philanthropic contributions to the Latin community, their steadfast and dedicated support of environmental preservation and protection and their vocal advocacy of human rights.
Mana Talks Social Responsibility, Education & the State of Rock During Billboard Latin Conference Q…
"We're really very excited," said Olvera, speaking on the phone from his home in Guadalajara. "The Academy is the Academy, and an award like this is a rose for the band's career."
Being the first group, he added, was also full of significance. "It speaks to the fact that this is a band with a history of songs. It's important that there be awards that honor people that create songs."
Aside from being one of the top-selling Latin acts in the market, and one of the top touring acts in the market, Maná stands our for the work it has done for years to preserve the environment through its Selva Negra Foundation. This past April, the group also received the Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award during the Billboard Latin Music Awards, and sat down for a conversation at the Billboard Latin Music Conference to discuss their philanthropic endeavors.
Mana Confirmed For 'Rock Q&A' at Billboard Latin Music Conference
Maná has also been vocal in speaking out to promote specific causes, including the right to vote. The group was the first Latin act to speak out vehemently against Donald Trump's negative comments about the Latin community, when the now-president was still campaigning.
"This is the Academy's opportunity to honor someone who has used the strength of music for the greater good," said Gabriel Abaroa Jr., President/CEO of The Latin Recording Academy. "They've been very congruent in their fight for social rights and ecology. We have a group with very strong personalities; we'd have to hold four Persons of the Year to honor them, so we honored them as a group."
Maná will be honored at a private dinner on Nov. 14, the day before the Latin Grammy Awards ceremony, with proceeds going to the Latin Grammy Foundation. As is the tradition, the band will be fetted by other artists who will perform their songs.
"We're very excited that our songs will be performed by other artists," added Olvera. "And the fact that proceeds go to a music charity is really cool."
Billboard Latin Music Awards: Mexican Rock Legends Mana to Receive Lifetime Achievement Honor
The challenge, says Abaroa, will be in honoring a four-member group. "The logistics of the show may have to change," he said. "We may have to bring in bands. This concert will have a lot of personality."
As to which of Maná's many hits will be performed, the concert is still very much in the planning stages. However, when we asked Olvera to pick three favorite songs from the Maná repertoire he, had an answer: "El muelle de San Blas," for its combination of poetic lyrics and music; "Mariposa traicionera" because "it crosses Latin American cultures; you can hear it anywhere and in any version;" and "Clavado en un bar," for its rock 'n' roll feel.

I believe that Fall has finally arrived in Southern California.
When I was younger, Summer was my favorite season of the year. Spending days at the beach playing in the sand was the best. Now that I am older, Fall has become my favorite time of the year. Cool breezes and colorful leaves are something I will never get tired of. Not to mention my Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

it was interesting as the Lunch Bunchers slid to their cars!
and through the neighbor's yard dodging the big pile of dirt and tree roots!
Our menu reflected this "red letter day" of construction!
Leftover Valentine's Luncheon flowers in the crystal ice bucket with silver trim.
so it costs "a million bucks" to make!
Mary's recipes are always good!
But would be a perfect coffee cake for a ladies Bible study!
Stir together all ingredients except potato chips. Put into a casserole or 9 inch square pan. Top with chips.
Bake at 450 for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Drain artichoke hearts, hearts of palm olives, pimentos and red peppers. Place with sliced mushrooms in large glass bowl.
Combine other ingredients. Marinate vegetables in oil mixture overnight. Remove vegetables from marinade with slotted spoon. Serve chilled in lettuce lined bowl. For individual servings, line plate with lettuce and top with salad.
Mix together until it forms a dough. Knead a few times. Pat out on work surface and cut with biscuit cutter. Bake in a preheated 500 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or tube pan. (I prefer the tube pan).
Bake for 1 hour, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake begins pulling away from the edges of the pan. Cool cake in pan for about 15 minutes. Then, invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. If you wish Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving. Yield: 12 servings.
NOTE: I used homemade strawberry jam for the cake.
I adore that not~a~thing can stop your Lunch Bunch!
I absolutely love your Aynsley Pembroke China, dear friend!
The tablescape and the menu, simply divine!

Q: Sonar 5.6 - How to ignore some files from undocumented API metric? I have documentation issues ignored on some of my files. For instance:
# Ignore all undocumented API issues on test headers
sonar.issue.ignore.multicriteria.noapitest.ruleKey=cxx:UndocumentedApi
sonar.issue.ignore.multicriteria.noapitest.resourceKey=test/include/*

This works well, the issues are not generated. However, I was wondering if it was also possible to exclude them from the undocumented API metric ? Currently they are showing as undocumented and making the metric completely useless for me.
I'm using Sonar 5.6.

A: Nope. All of the exclusion options are fully documented and obvious in the UI.

Q: CustomValidator not executing on second step of a multi-panel Page I am experiencing a problem with an ASPX page not executing a CustomValidator. The Page consists of 3 ASP Panels which swap visibility for each step in a 3 step process. The first step/panel functions as expected, executing all CustomValidators when I click the submit button. If valid, the button click hides its panel and shows the second panel for step #2 which contains another CustomValidator. When clicking the submit button on this second panel, the CustomValidator never executes and the Page always reports that it IsValid.
I have reproduced this behavior in a small, example app. Here is the relevant code...

            TextBox1.Text = null;
            args.IsValid = false;
        }
        else
        {
            args.IsValid = true;
        }
    }

    protected void CustomValidator2_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
    {
        throw new Exception("This ServerValidate() method never triggers!");
    }
}

I don't understand why the CustomValidator2 method is never executing. Can anyone explain this behaviour?

A: As you're not setting the ControlToValidate property in your scenario set the property ValidateWhenEmpty to true on the CustomValidator.
The CustomValidator will not be evaluated when the ControlToValidate is blank unless ValidateWhenEmpty is true.
UPDATE:
Ok this was wrong. But do you really need to set visibility of the panels in the Page_Load? You've done it already declaratively in the .aspx.
If you remove it from Page_Load, the validator works. I suppose it does not work if the validator is Visible=false or is inside a containing control that is Visible=false.

A: You should use ValidationGroup property of the buttons and the corresponding validation controls in each panel.

De Nederlandse Opera
This is not an Onegin for those that haven't seen the piece before - it's not impenetrably complex, but a very good knowledge of the "standard" narrative would help hugely in unravelling the games being played here with plot and memory. It opens on a brilliant coup de theatre - a "split screen" introducing the the dual worlds that are being depicted in this production - the Russian oligarchy of today, and a sentimentalised kitsch vision of peasant Russia. It's not totally clear why Tatyana remembers her youth as occurring so long before it actually did though; perhaps Herheim is suggesting that Russians sentimentalise their own history and youths? Olga is a vision of naive peasantry, youth and happiness - a reminder to Tatyana of what she has left behind as we see Tatyana amongst her high society guests. Olga's aria becomes accusatory, or at least some sort of expression in Tatyana's guilt.
The letter scene is presented as the fulfilment of Tatyana's wish (Onegin is present, at least in her mind), and simultaneously, Onegin writing his letter with the same message to her as he does later in Act III in the conventional narrative. (Though of course we don't normally get to see it on stage, reference is made to his letter in the final scene, and Onegin gets the same letter writing music when he realises he's in love with Tatyana). We already know this second letter writing event happens, so I'm not sure how much of an insight this is beyond the initial surprise of the new staging. For newcomers it'll be totally baffling and inexplicable. It's tempting to have Tatyana address the actual Onegin onstage because the letter is doing this, but for me, the sense of the unknown is what makes this scene so moving and tense - we know she is fantasising - do we need to see the fulfilment of this fantasy onstage? Still, it's much more subtly and discreetly handled than the comparable version in Kasper Holten's dramatically null ROH staging, the first of many parallels between the two productions (not all of which I've mentioned here). I also didn't quite get what was added in the following scene by having Onegin address his rejection to a double of Tatyana- yes we get to see the older Tatyana reliving the scene, but by this stage the theme is so clear, that it's weird to just get the same thing again, especially when the double Tatyana (a dancer) is so bad at acting.
Herheim sees the whole piece as being about the loss of ideals - most obviously Tatyana and Lensky's loss of the ideal of innocent romantic love - and mirrors this in the staging with the loss of the big ideals that Russia has suffered during the 20th century. At the end of the Larina ballroom scene Lensky seems to embrace Tatyana's little red book - replacing his naive poetic Romanticism with Communism, and he goes on to direct some troops to exact his revenge on the crowd. But soon the star of Communism is seen in flames and then smashed on the floor during the duel - the communist ideal being replaced with Onegin's playboy Capitalism and the rich Russian oligarchs of his world. It's interesting that Herheim makes these parallels, but what is it actually adding dramatically here? Again after the initial surprise has faded and we've worked out Herheim's code, I can't help feeling that this is a little jejune. Perhaps I'm missing a subtlety.
The Larina ballroom scene is somewhat clumsily staged and the revolving room feels artificial almost the whole time. Maybe it was different in the theatre but the feeling of larger and smaller spaces that the set design is meant to enable doesn't really come across - the pure aesthetics of the "stage picture" are probably the weakest aspect in almost all of Herheim's productions. In the intro to Act III we get a view of 20th century Russian cliches as seen by western Europe (which gets a round of applause from the audience!). Gremin reappears at the end of the final duet (again just as in Holten's production) as does the rest of high society at Gremin's instigation, who witness Onegin's failure, shame and impotence.
Krassimira Stoyanova, in her role début, gives a radiant account of Tatyana, with committed acting that serves the staging very well. She has a little trouble convincing physically as the young Tatyana, but this production plays so much with time frames that this isn't a huge obstacle. She has a rich chest register, warm middle and lovely top, and sings with expressive nuance and technical expertise. It's a very beautiful timbre and sounds great up close on the mics, but the top is very covered which certainly doesn't sound as good in the theatre and was one of my main reservations about her in live performance earlier this year that I saw in the Holten ROH production. Still, a remarkable debut.
Bo Skovhus is a classic barihunk; possibly only Hvorostovsky is better looking of the major international baritones. He often moves awkwardly on stage, hunched and stumbling, which works reasonably well in this production with its characterisation of Onegin as constantly being on the back foot. Vocally he is entirely adequate, but he is not a first choice with all the excellent Onegins currently performing. Skovhus has a passing resemblance to Herheim himself looks wise, but weirdly so does tenor Andrej Dunaev, to an even greater degree. Again he's more than acceptable in the role, but the timbre is not the most beautiful and one might wish for a little more nuance from a character who is meant to be a poet. The rest of the cast are all more than acceptable.
Mariss Jansons gives a slightly weird account of the score, extremely lush and beautifully played by the Concertgebouw Orchestra, but somehow too polished and smooth to sound truly Russian. Where's the raw Slavic soul? A nebulous and intangible criticism perhaps and few will complain when the playing is of such high quality.
The first ten minutes of this production had me thinking that this might be one of the best DVDs on the market, but overall, though very enjoyable, I'm not sure that the interventions add enough to our understanding of the piece for this to escape being an egoistic project - too often I felt this was merely "Herheim's Onegin". That is the production made me think of Herheim rather than the opera, and for me for Regie theatre to be successful, it has to reveal the piece to us anew and bring us closer to the work and its meaning, rather than being a canvas on which the director is allowed to exercise his fantasy, however well intentioned. There's a creeping way in which this is every bit as camp and "fabulous" as any Franco Zeffirelli extravaganza. Others will disagree, and your mileage may vary; it's certainly worth a watch.

Martin Jones blanks Canadiens, Kraken win 5th straight
Credit: Eric Bolte-USA TODAY Sports
Matty Beniers, Vince Dunn and Eeli Tolvanen each had a goal and an assist, and Martin Jones needed to make just 21 saves for his second shutout of the season as the visiting Seattle Kraken won their fifth in a row, 4-0 over the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night.
Daniel Sprong recorded his 13th goal and Yanni Gourde posted two assists for the Kraken, who have outscored their opponents 26-8 while winning all five January contests, including the first four — all in Canada — of a season-high seven-game road stretch. Jones, among the NHL leaders with 19 wins, was not tested often thanks to some stellar defensive play in front. He was solid nonetheless in allowing two or fewer goals for the fourth time in five starts and posting his 27th career shutout.
Jones' other shutout this season came in a 4-0 victory at Minnesota on Nov. 3.
Meanwhile, Sam Montembeault stopped 37 shots for the Canadiens, who were unable to build on Saturday's 5-4 victory over St. Louis that snapped their 0-6-1 slide. Montreal, which has just two wins and five points in its last 13 contests, failed to record double-digit shots in any period while being shut out for the third time this season. The Canadiens have also allowed at least four goals in eight consecutive games.
Seattle was the aggressor from the start, recording seven shots on goal through the first three minutes. The Kraken were eventually awarded for the effort when Tolvanen one-timed a cross-crease pass from the defenseman Dunn for the opening score just 6:54 into the contest.
The visitors made it 2-0 when Sprong one-timed a seam pass from Andre Burakovsky for a power-play goal with 9:59 remaining in the opening frame. Seattle added on in the first when Dunn sent the puck through traffic, and appeared to deflect off a Montreal skate and past Montembeault with 5:40 to go before the first intermission.
Seattle outshot the Canadiens 19-6 in the first period.
Beniers' empty-net tally with 63 seconds to play was his 15th goal of the season, and fourth in four games.

Saprophytic ability and the contribution of chlamydospores and oospores to the survival of Phytophthora cinnamomi
McCarren, Kathryn (2006) Saprophytic ability and the contribution of chlamydospores and oospores to the survival of Phytophthora cinnamomi. PhD thesis, Murdoch University.
PDF - Front Pages
PDF - Whole Thesis
Phytophthora cinnamomi has been recognised as a key threatening process to Australia's biodiversity by the Commonwealth's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Despite over 80 years of extensive research, its exact mode of survival is still poorly understood. It is widely accepted that thin- and thick-walled chlamydospores are the main survival propagules while oospores are assumed to play no role in the survival of the pathogen in the Australian environment, yet evidence is limited. The saprophytic ability of the pathogen is still unresolved despite the important role this could play in the ability of the pathogen to survive in the absence of susceptible hosts. This thesis aimed to investigate chlamydospores, oospores and the saprophytic ability of P. cinnamomi to determine their contribution to survival.
Phytophthora cinnamomi did not show saprophytic ability in non-sterile soils. The production of thick-walled chlamydospores and selfed oospores of P. cinnamomi in vitro was documented. Thick-walled chlamydospores were sporadically formed under sterile and non-sterile conditions in vitro but exact conditions for stimulating their formation could not be determined. The formation of thick-walled chlamydospores emerging from mycelium of similar wall thickness was observed, challenging the current knowledge of chlamydospore formation.
Selfed oospores were abundant in vitro on modified Ribeiro's minimal medium in one isolate. Three other isolates tested also produced oospores but not in large numbers. Although the selfed oospores did not germinate on a range of media, at least 16 % were found to be viable using Thiozolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide staining and staining of the nuclei with 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole.2HCl (DAPI). This indicated the potential of selfed oospores as survival structures and their ability to exist dormantly.
The ability of phosphite to kill chlamydospores and selfed oospores was studied in vitro. Results challenged the efficacy of this chemical and revealed the necessity for further study of its effect on survival propagules of P. cinnamomi in the natural environment. Phosphite was shown to induce dormancy in thin-walled chlamydospores if present during their formation in vitro. Interestingly, dormancy was only induced by phosphite in isolates previously reported as sensitive to phosphite and not those reported as tolerant.
Chlamydospores were produced uniformly across the radius of the colony on control modified Ribeiro's minimal medium but on medium containing phosphite (40 or 100 mcg ml-1), chlamydospore production was initially inhibited before being stimulated during the log phase of growth. This corresponded to a point in the colony morphology where mycelial density changed from tightly packed mycelium to sparse on medium containing phosphite. This change in morphology did not occur when the pathogen was grown on liquid media refreshed every four days, and chlamydospores were evenly distributed across the radius of these colonies. This trend was not observed in selfed oospores produced in the presence of phosphite. Selfed oospore production was found to be inhibited by phosphite at the same concentrations that stimulated chlamydospore production.
Isolates of P. cinnamomi were transformed using a protoplast/ polyethylene glycol method to contain the Green Fluorescent Protein and geneticin resistance genes to aid in future studies on survival properties of the organism. Although time constraints meant the stability of the transgene could not be determined, it was effective in differentiating propagules of the transformed P. cinnamomi from spores of other microrganisms in a non-sterile environment. Two different sized chlamydospores (approximately 30 mcg diameter and < 20 mcg diameter) were observed in preliminary trials of transformed P. cinnamomi inoculated lupin roots floated in non-sterile soil extracts and these were easily distinguished from microbial propagules of other species. The growth and pathogenicity was reduced in two putative transformants and their ability to fluoresce declined over ten subcultures but they still remained resistant to geneticin.
This study has improved our knowledge on the survival abilities of P. cinnamomi in vitro and has provided a useful tool for studying these abilities under more natural glasshouse conditions. Important implications of phosphite as a control have been raised.

2023 Steelers Futures Report – WR Cody White
As we've done in previous years, we're taking a look at those Pittsburgh Steelers under futures contracts for the 2023 offseason. The ones who spent most if not the entire year on the practice squad and what we can expect from them during training camp (hopefully) into the regular season.
Cody White/WR Michigan State – 6033 217
White is sort of a modern day Walter Young. The practice squad lifer. In today's quicker world of roster churn, you either make it or you don't, White has stuck around on the Steelers' roster as the football equivalent of a AAAA player. Since signing with the Steelers in 2020, he's caught just six passes and this past year, appeared in only one NFL game, playing ten offensive snaps and catching one pass.
White does a little bit of everything even if he doesn't do one thing all that well. His size makes him an attractive blocker in heavy personnel. He can play any spot on the field as a wide receiver, inside or out, and he has baseline special teams value to run down kicks and punts. As we always say, there's value in versatility and White has that in spades. Still, he doesn't have a defined role or fit or anything he does head and shoulders above the rest. The only thing unique about him is that his dad, Sheldon, was hired to be part of the Steelers' front office this past offseason.
This summer, White began training camp working with the first-team. But George Pickens quickly started doing George Pickens-like things and White was shuttled towards the back of the pack by camp's end. Here's a snippet of how we summed up his performance.
"But beyond good hands and versatility, he can play any spot in the lineup, he lacks many defining traits. He's stiff, doesn't create much separation, and doesn't have any sort of long speed. At best, he'll be a receiver on the back-end of the roster, offering a bit on special teams but he's not a core guy or a particularly good gunner. His size helps him as a blocker on the kick return team but he's a jack-of-all-trades that's difficult to get all that excited about."
Frankly, a lot of the same stuff we're talking about right now. White avoided being part of the roster churn, he didn't bounce on and off the practice squad, but he was only elevated once and spent nearly the entire season on scout team, working in practice, but not being part of the Sunday gameplan. Over his career, he has just six receptions for 35 yards and despite Pittsburgh having depth issues at receiver this year, White never got a shot. Miles Boykin is the filet mignon version of White and had the hat all year as the team's blocker/gunner type.
There's nothing to suggest White's game or status or role with the team will change this upcoming summer. His futures contract will probably carry him through camp but it'll be another uphill battle to make the 53-man roster. At some point, his practice squad meter will run out with the chance for the Steelers to add someone younger with a better skillset. 2023 could be that year. There aren't many guys who sit on a practice squad for years at a time and White may have reached his limit.

'Hamilton' Movie Shot During Live Show with Audiences
Created: Wednesday, 01 July 2020 16:05
The world will get to experience the hit "Hamilton" Broadway musical on Disney+ Friday, June 3rd. What we'll see in the Lin-Manuel Miranda movie version will be the same exact stage play except with an interactive view. Miranda, the cast, and the film's director Thomas Kail reunited virtually to discuss how they shot the show as business as usual during a live performance with audience.
Originally intended as a movie theater release for 2021, the pandemic caused Disney and Miranda to rethink its plans, and allow the filmed version to become available for Disney+ audiences sooner.
To film the stage play, cameras were brought in for three shows in June of 2016. As the saying goes, "the show must go on," and so it did with cameras taking up seats next to audience members. The cameras on stage were not a nuisance for the audience, since some of the scenes were filmed without a live audience.
"So the shows that we did with an audience did not stop," says the director. "The cameras were positioned in the audience. The audience sat around them, but the-all the cameras were in the house or on stage, and we just ran the show as we always did."
Some of the musical numbers were shot on stage with a steady cam, or a camera on a crane and dolly. He wanted to give a different feel to the proximity to the show.
"But the task for me, was to create a document of what it felt like to be in that room," says Kail. This is not trying to be the show."
Miranda, however, says "this is better than the best seat in the house at Hamilton." The cast had nothing to fear by adding cameras to the show.
"This might be the best rehearsed movie of all time. [LAUGHS] Outside of maybe like certain David Fincher scenes. I don't know another movie cast that got to do like literally hundreds, if not thousands, of performances before the cameras went on. But our job was not to think about that. Our job was to do our show."
The live element of the stage play is also captured in the musical numbers. Miranda guarantees the sound will also be incredible in your home.
The release of HAMILTON couldn't be more timely. The themes hit home now more than ever and reveals history keeps repeating itself.
HAMILTON begins streaming when the clock ticks midnight on Friday, June 3.

THE LONG SHADOW OF INEQUITY & A NEW STORY OF COFFEE
An overseer sits in the shade while workers collect coffee beans on a Brazilian plantation, circa 1750. Hulton Archive/Getty Images
The story of coffee, like most global commodities, is inexorably linked to the story of imperialism and colonization. And, thus, it is tethered to a history of Indigenous peoples' displacement and forced labor around the world. But only by facing this brutal narrative can we can hope to challenge it.
Since our founding in 2005, we have been committed to build longstanding partnerships with Indigenous communities through our purchasing model. By prioritizing direct relationships with small-holder farmers and democratically-run farmer cooperatives––and pushing against our industry's reliance on large scale plantations that often rely on the cheap labor of local peoples––we have been able to cultivate a vast network of producers working to escape the long shadow of colonial production. Many of these producers, including those belonging to our oldest partnership with the Fondo Paez Cooperative, are of Indigenous descent.
Two young Paez men work at the Fondo Paez Cooperative's bodega, receiving green coffee and overseeing quality control.
The numerous Indigenous groups we partner with span continents and vastly different social contexts. But they are united in that they all use coffee as a means of supporting their livelihoods and economic independence. This work is done––often explicitly––in service to a larger goal: to secure a resilient future for their peoples and their right to cultural sovereignty. By building contracts that offer transparency and industry-leading compensation, we are able to do our small part to support the health of their communities.
But plenty of the challenges these groups face aren't addressed by our sourcing model––from systemic inequity, to ecological sustainability, to access to more fundamental necessities. That's why we're committed to supporting non-profit partners working in coffee producing communities to fill that gap.

Providing access to clean drinking water, combating severe gender inequity, building schools, and restoring coffee fields are examples of the necessary work taken on by our friends and long-term partners at On the Ground. Every year, On the Ground is hard at work in developing regions addressing difficult challenges head on, fighting for the belief that "sustainable coffee begins where inequity ends." That's why, every year, we contribute to their work through donations and coffee purchases.
For the last several years, our Project Congo coffee has channelled thousands of dollars of support to On the Ground and the gender equity work they've been leading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. On the Ground is working with farmer groups in the South Kivu region, offering increased educational opportunities, gender equity training, and the potential for financial independence to hundreds of women. This year, On the Ground will launch a pilot program that will include 100 husband and wife couples from the Muungano Coffee Cooperative. This initiative will provide the training and tools necessary to break the cycle of poverty for these farmers and their families.
Project Congo is just one of countless initiatives On the Ground has led to support coffee producers and their families.And numerous other non-profit and farmer organizations are also dedicated to creating new, grassroots solutions to the most critical issues facing these communities

Over the years, we've purchased coffees from three of CODECH's higher altitude associations: ADIPY, ADAT, and ADINTHEC. These associations collect coffee from the Canalaj and O'ejnhah communities, which are made up of the Indigenous Popti, Mam and Q'anjob'al branches of the Mayan People.
No one person, or organization, has the answers to how to rectify the inequity embedded in the story of coffee. But, collectively, we can commit to asking the hard questions, elevating the organizational work and economic autonomy of farmers, and re-envisioning the future of coffee. One that supports the producer communities it relies upon.


Fluor has a long-standing relationship with Sabic and its affiliate companies spanning more than 25 years. As the PMC contractor on the United Utilities & Offsites (U&O) project in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia, Fluor managed the lump sum turnkey (LSTK) contractors' work for overall complex scope for the 1,000 KTA ethylene, 575 LTA EO/EG, and 150 KTS linear alpha olefins units, as well as performing the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) for the U&O.
Other key units were an ethylene ground flare and an incinerator package. EPCM services were performed for U&O cooling water / seawater cooling system, steam/boiler feed water/condensate system, air systems, water systems, fuel systems, storage, fire water, wastewater treatment, and flare and incineration systems.
The United Olefins Complex in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia, was the first phase of a world-scale petrochemical complex for Jubail United Petrochemical Company, a wholly owned SABIC affiliate. Jubail United Petrochemical Company and Fluor formed an integrated project management team to manage the project.
Jubail United Petrochemical and Fluor initiated risk management programs, which were reviewed on a regular basis to ensure all risks were recognized. As a result of the risk reviews, action plans were developed and implemented to mitigate any identified risks.
Fluor was the program management contractor for the overall project, including LSTK process areas, and also performed as the EPCM contractor for the utilities and offsites. Engineering for master planning and for the U&O portions was performed in Fluor's Houston office, with portions of the detailed engineering work shared with Fluor's Manila, Philippines, and Al Khobar offices.
Fluor's responsibilities included safety leadership and implementation of the overall safety program; issuance of project specifications, procedures, and standards; and standardization of equipment, instrumentation, and building materials. Continuity among project areas, home offices, and the job site was also a significant component of project management oversight.
Fluor developed and implemented the turnover sequence and paths of construction, as well as the overall execution strategy and plan. Other tasks were performing the technical evaluation of the LSTK bids; overseeing the permitting, process safety, and loss prevention for the overall plan; and managing the interfaces between the various LSTK contractors and the utilities and offsites project to enable continuity among the various work areas.
The safety program met the challenges of a multilingual workforce of up to 14,000 people, as well as the climate and other factors, breaking SABIC and Fluor safety records by achieving 50 million work hours without a lost-time accident.
Sandstorms, temperatures approaching 49 degrees C (120 degrees F), and high relative humidity were planned for in order to have an effective safety program.
Key to the success of this project was the diverse workforce of nationals from 12 countries. The onsite workforce, peaking at 14,000, spoke 17 languages and 10 additional dialects. In addition, the United project benefited from a global execution platform: teams were working in Saudi Arabia, the United States, Manila, Japan, and Germany. Multilingual and iconic safety signs were implemented to communicate with the diverse workforce.
The overall project (Pre-FEED, FEED & EPC) was completed in 42 months, and the utilities and offsites were completed in 38 months. Work sharing between Fluor offices in Houston, Texas, USA, and Manila, Philippines, was a significant factor in completing the project in this record time.
The safety program met the challenges of a multilingual workforce of up to 14,000 people, as well as the climate and other factors, to break SABIC and Fluor safety records by achieving 50 million work hours without a lost-time accident.
The project began in 2001 and was completed in 2004.

Yes Bank to raise funds up to ₹10,000 cr via equity, debt; rejects $1.2 bn offer
1 min read . Updated: 10 Jan 2020, 05:13 PM IST Edited By J. Jagannath
Yes Bank board says no to Erwin Singh Braich's $1.2 billion offer
Citax Holdings' $500 million offer to be discussed at subsequent meetings
New Delhi: The Yes Bank board on Friday decided to raise funds up to ₹10,000 crore, in one or more tranches, through QIP, GDR, ADR, FCCB or any other methods on private placement basis.
The bank also said it would not proceed with a $1.2 billion offer from Canadian investor Erwin Singh Braich and SPGP Holdings announced earlier.
Citax Holdings' $500 million offer to be discussed at subsequent meetings.
Earlier on Friday, shares of Yes Bank tumbled over 5 per cent after the company's Independent Director Uttam Prakash Agarwal resigned citing "serious concerns" on "deteriorating practices" and the state of affairs at the private sector lender.
The scrip plunged 5.29 per cent to close at ₹44.80 on the BSE. During the day, it dropped 7.18 per cent to ₹43.90.
On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), it dived 4.96 per cent to close at ₹44.95.
The stock was the worst hit among the Nifty-50 components.
"I hereby tender my resignation from the office of the independent director of Yes Bank as also chairman of audit committee and member of all other committees of the board with immediate effect," Agarwal said in his resignation letter addressed to Non-Executive Part-Time Chairman Brahm Dutt.

2" 6" - Sold out 4" x 6" 1 gallon 1/2 tsp. Seed
"The plant typically takes 5-10 years to reach maturity, at which point it amazingly shoots up a flower spike to about 10-15 feet in about 2 weeks of growth. The spikes bear a spectacular display of hundreds of bell shaped white to purplish flowers.
It is pollinated by the California yucca moth (Tegeticula maculata), a relationship which has become a classic example of symbiosis. Working at night, the female yucca moth collects up to a dozen sacks of pollen grains called pollinia and forms them into a massive ball. She then flies to another plant and lands on the ovary of a flower. Standing with her head near the stigma, she inserts her ovipositor into the ovary wall and lays a single egg. She then rubs her pollen mass against the central stigmatic depression, ensuring pollination. The pollinated ovary will now produce many seeds, ensuring an ample food supply for the larva. Although many associations of Yucca and yucca moth exist, Tegeticula muculata and Hesperoyucca whipplei form an exclusive relationship." -Calscape.org

Shawshank Redemtion: The Reunion
By Joe Tone on Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 11:26 am
It was 15 years ago this August that the film crew for Shawshank Redemption first came to the Mansfield Reformatory to begin shooting. The filming was a rare prime-time moment for the sleepy Ohio town. So a few years ago, Bill Mullen, who owns the Sandusky lumberyard where many of the movie's woodworking scenes were shot, decided it was time for a reunion. Mullen contacted Castle Rock about the idea last year. Executives were excited, he says, and sent him contact information for many of the extras who appeared in the film. And on the weekend of August 29th, about 1000 former workers, grips, actors, and fans will arrive in Ohio to tour the facilities where the movie was shot, and exchange memorabilia and stories from the time – of which there are many. ...

USS Constitution to set sail to commemorate anniversaries
The USS Constitution is about to set sail for the first time in three years to celebrate the Navy's birthday and the anniversary of the Constitution's first launch.
The world's oldest commissioned warship will set sail from Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston on Oct. 20.
The wooden ship will travel to Fort Independence on Castle Island, where it will fire a 21-gun salute. An additional 17-gun salute will be fired as the ship passes the U.S. Coast Guard station. It's the former site of the shipyard where the Constitution was built and launched in 1797.
It will be the warship's first sail since October 2014, and will commemorate the Navy's 242nd birthday and the 220th anniversary of the Constitution's launch.
The ship earned its nickname "Old Ironsides" during the War of 1812.

"the worlds oldest commissioned warship"and"the ship earned its nickname old ironsides during the war of 1812" those are some of the factors that contribute to the significance of the USS constitution setting sail the fall.
AdelineR-dec
They are setting sail because of the navy's birthday and the anniversery of the consttuitions first launch. I think this is extremly cool that they are doing this and that the will have the 21-gun salute anad the 17-gun salute while they go past.


A former Archbishop of Canterbury has warned that today's political landscape in Europe and the U.S resembles that of Germany in the 1930s and urged the world not to forget the lessons of the past.
Dr Rowan Williams made the comments in the introduction to a new study guide examining Amy Buller's seminal text 'Darkness over Germany,' which includes a contribution from Senior Masorti Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg.
The guide has been produced by the Council of Christians and Jews (CCJ) in collaboration with Cumberland Lodge. A spokesman for CCJ said: "Buller's observations and warnings concerning nationalism, populism, and extremism are as pertinent now as they were then".
Acknowledging that liberal democracy was "not in a good way," Williams reminded readers of the features and first signs of fascism, noting their presence today.
"The rise to prominence of charismatic and authoritarian leaders in several countries, the growing presence of populist and sometimes openly racist political parties at elections, the rising temperature of public debate and the delegitimising of opponents and minorities, the rhetoric of 'the people's will' – all these very visible features of the international scene represent in different ways a rejection of some or all of the classical pieties of democracy.
Williams said the republication of Buller's "long-neglected classic" was "as timely as could be" because it examined how democracy collapsed and how fascism took root.
The guide goes on to take learners through the book and examine the major themes, such as the nature of abusive attitudes and incitement, engagement with faith communities, and crucially, "what constitutes dangerous ideas".
CCJ President Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg of New North London Synagogue said Buller's text not only explored the evils of Nazism but the causes of it, including "unemployment, hopelessness, the feeling that one's life is useless and one's talents unwanted".

Talkdemonic announce Fall tour, share first MP3 from Eyes at Half Mast
By forcefieldprSeptember 16, 2008No Comments
Talkdemonic
MP3: Talkdemonic – "March Movement"
Speakers everywhere this summer will rejoice with the arrival of Eyes at Half Mast, the third record from Talkdemonic, due Sept. 16 via Arena Rock. The Portland, Oregon duo of Kevin O'Connor and Lisa Molinaro have been playing together since 2003; she plays the viola and he plays everything else, including, but not limited to: drums, synths, and acoustic instruments. The result is an intoxicating blend of symphonic strings, explosive percussion, and achingly beautiful music.
Eyes at Half Mast is the band's high water mark. The album has its moments of cathartic beauty, (especially on "Duality of Deathening" and "March Movement") and of haunting elegies (as exemplified by "Tides in Their Grave" and "Dust and Heat"). There are passages filled with raw dissonance on the record, such as the
release and tension offered by "Civilian." There is a sense of loss and memory running through many of these songs, but the tone of the record is ultimately one of hope.
Talkdemonic continue to expand the range of emotion that they are able to evoke without words. The band is emerging in terms of composition, song structure and recording, and the sound crystallizes here. Talkdemonic is hitting a stride in songwriting with tunes like "March Movement" and "Duality of Deathening," which feature complex arrangements, layers and harmonies. It's worth noting that O'Connor mixed eleven of the twelve songs from this set.
Talkdemonic is admired for their cathartic and bewitching live sets, with O'Connor's rhythmic prowess and Molinaro's ethereal sound co-mingling. They have been playing these songs to swooning audiences for the past two years, and their sound comes together for Eyes at Half Mast.

Q: Minima/Maxima of a ILP over any compact set I am reading this paper "Lagrangian Relaxation for integer programming" by A.M. GEOFFRION.  In the paper, to prove one of the lemmas authors use the theorem that

"minimum value of a linear function over any compact set is not
  changed if the set is replaced by its convex hull"

I found this bit puzzling.  As we know, there exists duality gap between an ILP and corresponding relaxed LP (except in some cases).  In the original ILP, if the integer variables are constrained to be either 0 or 1, then the LP relaxation (by relaxing the variables to be in $[0,1]$ in the compact set should give us the optimal value for ILP right ?
If the ILP is
$$
\begin{equation}
\text{minimize}~~ c^\top x \\
\text{subject to}~~ Ax \leq b, x_i \in \{0,1\}
\end{equation}
$$
based on the above theorem, the relaxed version given below should give us an optimal integral solution, irrespective of the modularity of $A$
$$
\begin{equation}
\text{minimize}~~ c^\top x \\
\text{subject to}~~ ch(Ax \leq b, x_i \in \{0,1\})
\end{equation}
$$
where $ch()$ is the convex hull and I think here the convex hull can be represented as
$$
Ax \leq b, 0\leq x_i \leq 1 ~~\forall i
$$
What am I doing wrong ?  I understood the part about the minima/maxima over a compact set and the its convex hull.  My question is more about the solution for the ILP and corresponding relaxed version.  Based on the theorem, the relaxed version should always give optimal solution.

A: In general, it is not true that the relaxed version gives the convex hull:
$$ch(\{x \in \{0,1\}^n \mid Ax \leq b\}) \neq \{x \in [0,1]^n \mid Ax \leq b\}.$$
But if we did know the convex hull, then the integer program would reduce to a linear program.
A simple example is given by the set
$$X = \{ (x_1,x_2) \in \{0,1\}^2 \mid x_1 + x_2 \leq \frac{1}{2}\} = \{(0,0)\}$$
So $ch(X)$ is a single point, but the relaxation of $X$ is a triangle.
Linear functions have a constant gradient. Assuming this gradient isn't 0, geometrically, the intuition of the statement by Geoffrion is that to reach the highest point in a compact convex set, you just need to keep walking uphill. If you're not on the boundary of the set, there will always be a direction to walk that will be uphill.
Hope this helps.

A: I am not very familiar with linear programming, so I'm afraid I can't quickly figure out what you're doing wrong. What I can do is give an explanation in linear algebra, hopefully that helps you understand better what is going on.
First recall that a convex hull is defined as the set of finite sums with positive coefficients summing to $1$, i.e. If $A\subset X$ is a subset of a vector space $X$, then the convex hull of $A$ is
$$\text{co}(A)=\left\{\sum^{n}_{i=1}\lambda_{i}x_{i}:n\in\mathbb{n},\text{ for all }1\leq i\leq n\text{ we have }x_{i}\in A,\lambda_{i}\geq0\text{ and }\sum^{n}_{i=1}\lambda_{i}=1\right\}.$$
Now let $f$ be a linear function on $X$ and suppose it has a minimum on $A$, this is guaranteed if $A$ is compact. Now suppose that $\inf_{x\in\text{co}(A)} f(x)<\min_{x\in A}f(x)$, then there is a $y\in\text{co}(A)$ such that $f(y)<\min_{x\in A}f(x)$ for all $x\in A$. As $y\in\text{co}(A)$ we can find $x_{1},...,x_{n}\in A$ and $\lambda_{1},...,\lambda_{n}\geq0$ such that $\sum_{i=1}^{n}\lambda_{i}=1$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{n}\lambda_{i}x_{i}=y$. Since $f$ is linear and $x_{i}\in A$ we find
$$f(y)=\sum^{n}_{i=1}\lambda_{i}f(x_{i})\geq\min_{x\in A}f(x)\sum^{n}_{i=1}\lambda_{i}=\min_{x\in A}f(x)$$
which contradicts our assumptions. Hence $f$ retains its minimum over the convex hull. A similar argument shows the same for the infimum, supremum and maximum.
I hope this helps you understand the statement, let me know if anything is still unclear.

The Jerusalem Center for Women is a non-governmental organization, founded in 1994 and located in East Jerusalem. The center aims to empower Palestinian women, as well as to enhance their capabilities for them to become active members and resilient agents of change within their own community. The JCW wishes to do so by spreading the culture of human rights, gender equality and acceptance of the other, this to ensure the full realization of Jerusalemite women's rights and enhance their participation and visibility in all aspects of the Palestinian society. The JCW also works on raising awareness at the local and international levels of the human rights violations committed by the Israeli occupation forces against all Palestinians. It aims to highlight the consequences of the occupation's use of military force and security restrictions, main reasons for the lack of security and safety in Palestine, from which women are the first victims. Nevertheless, at the JCW we also believe in the importance of women's involvement in realizing a regional peace based on justice, and through the establishment of local and international networks as such, the JCW stresses the necessity of networking and strengthening partnerships with local, regional and international (private or public) institutions, in order to better implement pilot projects and achieve long-term sustainability in Palestine.
The Jerusalem Center for Women aims to empower marginalized women in Jerusalem. Our mission is to create a community of Palestinian women who are resilient change makers, by providing them with the needed resources to develop their own potential, and that of their families and communities as well.
We envision an empowered Palestinian society where women are standing strong and united side alongside men, able to develop their potentials and contribute to a free and egalitarian Palestinian society.
To protect Palestinian women's rights and status.
To empower Palestinian women and enhance their participation in community activism and politics.
To strengthen the role of women and youth to become positive change makers.

Spire Edinburgh Hospitals Murrayfield and Shawfair Park
Mr Sam Lockwood
I qualified from the University of Liverpool in 2013 with a degree in physiotherapy. I completed my junior rotations at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary while working part-time at Huddersfield Town Football Club and in private practice.
I took my first senior musculoskeletal physiotherapist role at Nottingham University Hospitals in 2016, gaining significant wide ranging experience treating a range of conditions and injuries.
Since leaving the NHS in 2017, I have worked for Spire and in the private practice setting. I have developed a particular interest in treating sports injuries as well as post-operative orthopaedic surgery.
Some of the principal treatments carried out by Mr Sam Lockwood at Spire include:
Outpatients MSK Physiotherapy
Spire Elland Hospital is only able to provide Covid-19 tests to patients undergoing surgery at our hospital. Covid-19 testing or antibody tests are not available as a standalone service.

I have always been a keen sportsman. I enjoy spending my free time out cycling, playing tennis, football and golf. Through the winter I like to ski when I can, either in Scotland or in the Alps.
I love to travel both in Europe and further afield. I am originally from West Yorkshire and moved to Edinburgh in February 2020 to experience what the city has to offer.
