Uribe refuses to condemn Santos campaign 'voice-alike'
by Cameron Sumpter May 13, 2010
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe says he neither supports nor condemns the use of a "voice-alike" in campaign advertisements for presidential candidate Juan Manuel Santos.
The president told Radio Clima de Cali that during his eight years in power many people had impersonated his voice and nobody had asked permission to do so.
"No one has asked permission to imitate me, no one has called me to ask if I would authorize it. These issues are very difficult for me," Uribe said.
Santos defended the use of a President Alvaro Uribe "sound-alike" on Wednesday, saying it was just a bit of "playfulness."
The Partido de la U's candidate's defensive comments followed criticism by Conservative Party presidential candidate Noemi Sanin on Monday, who claimed that Santos was using false advertising to win votes.
"The country needs to be told, so that they are not tricked," the former ambassador said.
This year's race for the presidency has been characterized by smear campaigns and other dirty tactics.
Colombians go to the polls on May 30 to vote for their new president.

The 2012 Night of Champions was the sixth annual Night of Champions professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE. It took place on September 16, 2012, at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The theme of the event was that all sanctioned championships promoted on WWE's main roster at the time were defended on the card. The event managed to gain 189,000 buys, which was up from last year's event, which gained a 169,000 buy rate.

Production

Background
Night of Champions was an annual pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE since 2007. The 2012 event was the sixth event in the Night of Champions chronology. It was held on September 16, 2012, at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. As per the theme of the event, every championship promoted on WWE's main roster at the time was defended—this specification of main roster championships came as a result of the establishment of WWE's developmental territory NXT earlier in the year, which had its own championship with two more introduced the following year. The main roster championships promoted by WWE in 2012 included the WWE Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, the United States Championship, the WWE Tag Team Championship, and the WWE Divas Championship.

Storylines
The professional wrestling matches at Night of Champions featured professional wrestlers performing as characters in scripted events pre-determined by the hosting promotion, WWE. Storylines between the characters played out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown.

One featured match involved champion Sheamus against Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship. Upon being defeated by Sheamus again at SummerSlam, Del Rio felt that because the referee did not see that his foot was on the bottom rope during the pin, he deserved another chance at the championship. Sheamus felt that Del Rio had enough chances to beat him and said that Randy Orton, who just returned from suspension, deserved a chance at the championship. Del Rio defeated Orton to earn a title match at the event.

Another highly promoted match was CM Punk defending the WWE Championship against John Cena. At Raw 1000 when Cena cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase against Punk and failed to win the championship due to interference by Big Show that resulted in a disqualification. This led to a triple threat match at SummerSlam featuring Punk, Cena, and Show, which Punk won. The following night on Raw, Punk was granted the right to choose his challenger at Night of Champions. He announced that he would face John Cena on the condition that he would admit on live television that Punk was the "best in the world" but Cena refused. The following week on Raw, Raw General Manager AJ Lee announced that Punk would defend the title against Cena at the event.

Event

Pre-Show
Prior to the start of the pay-per-view, a 16-man battle royal for a United States Championship match later in the event took place. Zack Ryder won the match by last eliminating Tensai.

Preliminary matches
The event opened with The Miz defending the Intercontinental Championship against Rey Mysterio, Cody Rhodes and Sin Cara in a fatal four-way match. In the end, Sin Cara placed a mask on Miz's head. Rhodes performed the Cross Rhodes on Cara, but The Miz, despite being blinded by the mask, performed the Skull-Crushing Finale on Rhodes to retain the title.

Next, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth defended the Tag Team Championship against Daniel Bryan and Kane (later known as Team Hell No). The match ended when Bryan pushed Kane off the top rope, causing him to fall onto Kingston into a successful pinfall. In result, Bryan and Kane won the title.

After that, Antonio Cesaro defended the United States Championship against Zack Ryder. Cesaro executed a Neutralizer on Ryder to retain the title.

In the fourth match, Randy Orton wrestled Dolph Ziggler. Orton executed an elevated DDT off the barricade on Ziggler and attempted to pin Ziggler in the ring, but Ziggler placed his foot on the bottom rope, voiding the pinfall. In the end, Orton attempted an RKO, but Ziggler countered the move into a sleeper hold, which Orton escaped. Orton performed an RKO on a leaping Ziggler for the win.

Next, Layla defended the Divas Championship against Eve.  After Kaitlyn was attacked, SmackDown general manager Booker T scheduled Layla to defend against Eve. Eve executed the Heart Breaker on Layla to win the title for a record third time.

After that, Sheamus defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio. Before the match, Booker T relinquished his ban of the Brogue Kick. In the end, Del Rio missed a step-up enziguri on Sheamus, who was in the corner. Sheamus executed a Brogue Kick on Del Rio to retain the title.

Main event
In the main event, CM Punk defended the WWE Championship against John Cena. Punk applied the Anaconda vise on Cena, but Cena countered into the STF, which Punk countered into a crossface, which Cena escaped. Punk executed the diving elbow drop for a near-fall. Punk went for a GTS, but Cena countered into the STF, with Punk reaching the ropes to break the hold. Punk executed a Go To Sleep on Cena for a near-fall. Cena executed an Attitude Adjustment for a near-fall. Punk performed a second Go to Sleep on Cena for a near-fall. Punk performed a Rock Bottom on Cena for a near-fall. Cena executed another Attitude Adjustment on Punk for a near-fall. Cena executed a bridging German superplex off the top rope on Punk to win the match. As Cena was celebrating, the referee declared a draw due to a double pin, thus Punk retaining the title. When Cena stopped celebrating, Punk hit Cena with the title belt as he stood tall in the middle of the ring and exited with manager Paul Heyman to close the show.

U.N. Agency Sets New Standards For Tracking Aircraft In Flight
David Schaper

Update Required To play the media you will need to update your browser to a recent version.
The United Nations' aviation organization is endorsing a new standard meant to keep air traffic authorities and airlines from losing track of a jetliner, such as Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
That plane disappeared into the Indian Ocean almost a year ago with 239 people on board.
Under the new policy, commercial airliners would be required to transmit their location every 15 minutes and every minute if in distress.
Air safety investigator Anthony Brickhouse says whenever there's a horrifying air transport tragedy, the hope is that from the wreckage and the flight recorders, you can piece together what happened and learn from it.
"And you can't learn unless you find the plane or if you have data from the plane, so right now we really can't learn anything from this event because we don't have any evidence yet, and that's the problem," says Brickhouse, an associate professor of safety science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
For many, it is still hard to fathom how, in this day and age, a Boeing 777 could just vanish without a trace, as MH370 did on March 8, 2014.
So in response to that event and another Malaysia Airlines tragedy last year, the U.N.'s International Civil Aviation Organization called only its second ever high level safety conference.
Aviation regulators, safety advocates and airline executives from around the world attending the summit in Montreal this week agreed to establish new flight tracking protocols.
"And we've developed very quickly a standard, which calls for an aircraft to be tracked within 15 minutes, no matter where it is around the world, whether it's in radar coverage or not," says Nancy Graham, director of ICAO's Air Navigation Bureau.
She says planes will be required to check in every 15 minutes during normal operations and there's an additional standard for planes in distress.
"If it gets into trouble, if it goes beyond its flight plan or a very quick descent or something that's in trouble, it will begin to broadcast once every minute, which allows us to locate the aircraft in the event that it goes down within six nautical miles."
Graham says if such a global flight tracking standard had been in place, "We hope that would have enabled us to find [MH370] within six nautical miles or one minute, navigationally. So that's exactly the point; it would have been able to give us a better sense of the location very quickly," Graham added, "and then not having the families be in such pain waiting to find out exactly what happened."
The member states participating in the aviation safety summit agreed to enact this new tracking standard with a target date for implementation of November 2016.
But the measure still needs formal United Nations approval. In the meantime, airlines voluntarily agree to begin implementing the technologies needed for such flight tracking. Most modern-day aircraft already have the capabilities, but the airline industry stops short of fully committing to meeting that target date for implementation.
"Certainly, the industry is not, sort of, sitting back and waiting," says Tony Tyler, director general of the International Air Transport Association. "A number of airlines are and are planning to improve and work to new ways of tracking their aircraft in flight."
Some safety advocates, including Malaysia's government and the National Transportation Safety Board here in the U.S., want a stricter plane tracking standard and are calling for real-time, minute-by-minute flight tracking.
"The ultimate way to do this would be not to just do it every 15 minutes, but to sample every minute, so you are constantly, basically real-time tracking an aircraft," says air safety investigator Brickhouse.
But he adds this is a good first step. "I know that 15 minutes doesn't seem like a lot," he says. "But compared to what we have now, where planes can be out of radar contact for hours, I think the 15 minutes is a good start."

Atlanta, Georgia, is full of fascinating neighborhoods like Riverdale. It's in these neighborhoods where you can get a true sense for a town like Atlanta. But once you're done exploring all the wonderful shops and restaurants in Riverdale, you'll need some wheels to discover everything that Atlanta offers.
Riding the bus is a cheap method to move around Riverdale and the surrounding neighborhoods, but then you have to adhere to a tight schedule. Rideshares and taxis are easier, but little trips here and there can add up. Plus, they may not available when you want a ride right away. Renting a car in Riverdale is the simplest method, so you can see the entirety of the neighborhood and the rest of Atlanta on your vacation. See below to find everything you need about car rentals in Riverdale.
What's the best way to get a cheap car rental in Riverdale?
What kind of vehicle should I rent while in Riverdale?
With a variety of vehicles to pick from, it could be tough to decide which type is the best for your holiday. But, consider your needs and the number of you are traveling with. Our table below can help you reserve what vehicle is the best one for your needs.
How old do I have to be to rent a car in Riverdale?
The youngest age to rent a vehicle in most cities, like Riverdale, Atlanta, is 21. Be aware that there is commonly an additional charge if you or the added driver are under 25 years of age. Confirm the rental car company's policy before you book. Also note, for higher categories, such as premium, large capacity vehicles, or SUVs, the age restrictions can be different.
The majority of countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to buy temporary coverage through the rental car company. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check the provider's policy before you decide.
We recommend a full tank policy. You should get your automobile with a full tank, and you will want to fill it back up before you return. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring your car back. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Can I book a one-way rental in Riverdale?
Most rental car providers offer one-way rentals. It may be simpler to drop off your car at a different location. However, there is generally an extra fee for one-way rentals. Make sure to know the rental car company's policy to know exactly how much it may cost you.
Can I book with unlimited mileage when renting a car in Atlanta, Georgia?
Most suppliers offer unlimited miles, but you need to ensure it's part of your bundle. It's important to calculate how much driving you will be doing on your trip to Riverdale. You don't want to be surprised with any overages if you don't have unlimited miles, so make sure to go through the company's policy. You may want to get unlimited miles if you're imagining some road trips to discover everything that Atlanta or even Georgia has to offer.
Anything I should make sure to do around Riverdale?
Georgia is full of things to do while you are on vacation. You may just have to hop into your car rental and see what is else is out there.
Has a museum in Atlanta caught your eye? Do you have to meet a prospective client at their hotel or office? Don't miss out on one of Atlanta must-see attractions or be late to a meeting. When you have the keys to your own car, you can make sure your visit is on your time, and not have to adhere a train schedule.
Look through our selection of vehicles from some of the top rental car companies in the nation and pick out the perfect car for your Riverdale adventure.


ADHD is Not a Disease!
According to Dr. Lidy Pelsser's study, 64 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD are actually experiencing a hypersensitivity to food. Once again, food choice is plays a major role in our lives. Read and listen to this NPR report about ADHD.
Once again, it's The Main Street Diet that causes most of the health issues in our lives.
Nearly one in three kids born in 2000—and one in two minorities—will develop type 2 diabetes in their lifetime, according to the American Diabetes Association. The disease is linked to heart attack, stroke, blindness, amputation, and kidney disease.
That's the reason diet (proper eating) is so important. Put down the chips, fries, soda, fast food, and more, and miraculous things will happen.


It's funny how different kids can be.
Who in the world likes handwriting? My child, that's who.
I get that a log of kids dislike handwriting. I don't particularly desire to practice my penmanship either.
For those of you who have kids who don't particularly like handwriting, here are some fun ways to sneak handwriting practice into your child's life. If you do it correctly, they won't even know that you're actually teaching them.
These handwriting ideas are for kids who are learning to spell and write. They won't be helpful for children who are just learning to write the alphabet. Don't despair! We have some help for the littles here.
Pick up a plain notebook the next time you're shopping. Tell your kiddo that the two of you are going to write stories together.
Spend some time with fun craft supplies and make it a blast to decorate the outside of the notebook. Take your cues from them. Let them make it as goofy as they want!
Next, brainstorm about the first story you'll write together. Encourage their little imaginations to explore a world of all sorts of inventive ideas.
Once you've settled on a title, explain that each day the two of you will write one sentence to tell the story.
Your child will write the first sentence, then you, and so on.
When one story is finished, start again with a new story.
It's a fantastic exercise to help with their penmanship, their spelling, and sentence formatting.
Bonus: you'll have an incredible keepsake.
Writing letters is an art form that is all but extinct. In helping your child write 10 letters a month, you'll accomplish much more than handwriting practice.
They'll learn communication skills that will last a lifetime.
Lead by example. Sit with your son or daughter and write a letter as well. Talk with them about what they should think about before they write.
Do they want to tell someone something? What is it? Do they want to thank someone? For what? Do they want to ask how someone is doing?
Of course, grandparents will always be happy to get a letter from their grandchild. But there are lots more folks who'd love a letter. Here are 10 ideas to help get them started.
Ask your child to choose a person they find interesting. They're going to interview them and later write a very short biography about the person.
Prior to sitting down for the interview, they should write out 2 or 3 questions.
Let them record the answers to help them remember what was said.
Kids don't have to wait for someone to give them a gift before they write a thank you note.
There are definitely folks who deserved to be thanked every day. Have a conversation about all the people they meet who do good.
No need to buy thank you notes. Part of the fun is creating your own!
Put 26 cards in a basket with a letter on each. When your child picks one each day, give them a silly assignment to write about that corresponds with the letter.
A – Ant. Write three sentences about what it might be like to be as small as an ant.
B – Balloons. Write three sentences about what it would feel like to have a balloon that could carry you places.
C – Cap. Write three sentences about what they would do if they had a magic cap that could make them invisible when they wear it.
Those are some ideas I had for some entertaining handwriting practice for kids. Do you see any that could be helpful?
If you have great ways you've helped your child with their handwriting practice, would you share? I'm always looking for fresh ideas.

Functional medicine involves examining the core clinical imbalances that underlie a disease or condition – looking beyond signs and symptoms to a deeper understanding of functionality. These imbalances arise as environmental inputs, such as diet and nutrients (including oxygen and water), exercise and trauma are processed by a client's body through his or her unique metabolism.
We also keep in mind that literally everything about that client is also affected by his/her mind, spirit, attitudes and beliefs. The principles of functional medicine present a different context for identifying and understanding these imbalances.
From a functional medicine standpoint, imbalances in these processes can lead to changes in many different physiological systems that then become precursors to the signs and symptoms that we may diagnose as organ system disease.
Research is now focusing on how to assess these imbalances earlier in life, and then readjust the metabolic balance to decrease the risk those conditions and diseases pose to the well-being and quality of life for all of us. As this brief introduction demonstrates, nutrition is one of the key environmental inputs that can be reviewed and modified to support optimal health and function.

TEASED: All-New 2020 Subaru Legacy Is Coming
by Jay Traugott Teaser
Is that touchscreen bigger than one in a Tesla?
In a somewhat unexpected announcement, Subaru has announced that the all-new 2020 Legacy will debut at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show on February 7. Only two teaser images have been released so far, but we do know a few things about the new mid-size sedan. For starters, it will ride on Subaru's new Global Platform, which already underpins the smaller Impreza sedan and hatchback, Crosstrek, and Forester. Even the all-new three-row Ascent crossover rides on this platform.
Why one platform for them all (aside from the BRZ)? It's extremely cost-effective and Subaru isn't exactly one of the biggest automakers out there. In fact, it only has two production plants, one in the US and the other in Japan.
That's why it was such a big deal over a week ago when production was stopped at its Japanese facility after a possible defect was discovered in an electrical power steering unit. Fortunately, that's been resolved but there's expected financial damage for the nearly two-week-long shutdown. But that's not stopping the debut of the redesigned Legacy.
What's interesting about the Windy City car show is that it typically has a reputation for pickup truck reveals. It also comes barely a month after the Detroit Auto Show, so many of the biggest debuts have already happened. Other automakers may wait for New York in April. But Chicago was the chosen venue for Mazda when it unveiled its first-generation MX-5 Miata back in 1989.
As for the new Legacy, one of the teaser images shows a significantly larger and more premium looking touchscreen surrounded by leather trim. It's actually kind of Tesla Model S-like. If you want to know what the next gen Outback will look like inside and out, all you'll have to do is, starting on February 7, picture the Legacy as a wagon with a raised ride height and some additional plastic around the wheels. We'll bring you more details once they arrive.

An approach to helping the poor that actually works
FOR YEARS, policy makers have debated different approaches to helping the poor -- everything from building schools, to delivering soccer balls that produce electricity. But new data, published in May after a nine-year, six-country study, offers resounding evidence for a strategy that works.
A group of my economist colleagues and I, together with the research and policy nonprofit Innovations for Poverty Action, and MIT's J-PAL, tested an approach known as a "Graduation" program. The program is designed to boost the livelihoods of the "ultra-poor" -- the one billion people worldwide who live on less than $1.25 per day.
We tested these programs using a randomized controlled trial: a scientific methodology more typically associated with health care research, and considered the gold standard for impact evaluation. Workers offer a new policy or program to a group, and over the same period track it and a comparison group that continues on as normal. This comparison is key because changes in the outside environment -- such as a dry season for crops, or disease outbreak -- can create massive swings in fortune for the world's poor. By comparing two groups that both experience the environmental changes, but only one of which receives the program, we can learn how much change is from the program.
Through these kinds of rigorous evaluations, we often find that programs thought to work don't -- or don't work as expected. For example, we've discovered that microloans -- one of the most visible tools for helping the poor, and bolstered by a Nobel Peace Prize -- are helpful, yet largely ineffective at lifting people out of poverty.
In education, we've learned that while some organizations in poor countries give out free uniforms and others scholarships, in Kenya a simple anti-parasite pill that kept children healthy enough to learn was 20 times as cost-effective as the uniforms, and 51 times as cost-effective as scholarships. Our local teams tracked the children into adulthood, and found that the children who received the anti-parasite pills went on to earn over 20% higher wages as adults than their peers who didn't. In India and sub-Saharan Africa, where governments are implementing these programs, over 95 million children have now received the pills.
Yet poverty, and especially extreme poverty, is difficult to eliminate. The poorest of the poor have more problems than just lacking a regular income. Because they usually experience multiple challenges at the same time, we decided to look at the Graduation approach. Organizations employing this approach had been offering participants a "productive asset" (an asset that generates income, such as livestock or supplies to sell in a small store), training on how to use it, health care to keep them healthy enough to work, a small amount of food or money to support themselves while they learned to make a living (so they didn't have sell the asset immediately, merely to eat), access to a savings account to build up a buffer for future emergencies, and weekly coaching in areas like overcoming unexpected obstacles and meeting their savings goals.
Starting in 2006, we studied Graduation programs in six countries to determine if an approach this complex could actually work. We tracked more than 21,000 adults in 10,495 households in India, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Ghana, Peru and Honduras. Across all three continents we saw increases in mental and physical health, income, assets, and reductions in hunger -- not just at the end of the program, but when we revisited the participants a year later.
When the program worked, it returned 133% to 433% on investment, depending on the country. So for every dollar invested in India, participants spend and eat $4.33 more -- a great deal from the government's perspective. The program is being scaled up in Ethiopia as part of the country's national social safety net program, and to a smaller extent in India and Pakistan as well.
Like practitioners in other fields, we have used the power of good data to take the guesswork out of what strategies work -- in our case, efforts to alleviate poverty. Rather than spending critical resources on programs and policies that aren't effective, governments and aid organizations can instead invest in a program that will foster self-sufficiency among the world's poorest people.
Ideas should be funded based on evidence that they work -- not hope.

'The Common' Editor Jennifer Acker with Advice on Bringing Arabic Literature into English
Written by adminon September 2, 2017
We would not stay there for long. Just as setting off naively for "the West" or "the Far East"—destinations that are grand notions rather than findable locations—is romantic in inspiration, but in reality involves a lot of getting lost and stuck in the mud. At the time, I banged my head on the desk trying to figure out why I was so confused about what happened when. In the process, Acker learned a good deal about the movement of Arabic literature into English, some of which she shared in an interview with Amherst magazine:
Illustration by Hanna Barczyk. Many reflected what Egyptian writer Youssef Rakha calls "the increasingly dangerous business of living in this part of the world." A family housebound by street fighting is halted midstep by sniper bullets. Advertisements
Share this:TwitterFacebookEmailPrintLinkedInRedditGoogleTumblrPinterestPocketLike this:Like Loading…‹ Friday Finds: Khaled Khalifa's 'Living in a Void'Categories: translation Read stories from the issue at thecommononline.org. This question was doubly vexed because we experienced the texts in different languages. Arabic sentences are often long and complex in structure. We laughed at that—being in the comfort zone. We were bushwhacking an unfamiliar and uncommon literary path, while also bringing Arabic writers into an often unwelcoming country and culture—and to a literary public skeptical of works in translation. From Amherst magazine
"Tell me the story of your romance with the Arabic written word." The journalist asking was from The National, Abu Dhabi's English-language newspaper. Over lunch one afternoon, Hisham's friend Rami asked, "What's next?" I had been thinking of this visit as a culmination. Most important: Would we agree on the literary merit of the writing? Hisham and I found ample literary common ground. I understand some of these issues now. An arrested man is deprived of not only his possessions but also his internal organs. A young woman recalls the dangerous advice of a beloved grandmother. Along with Hisham Bustani, Acker brought together 26 authors, five visual artists, and 18 translators from a total of 17 countries. Another revelation was that publishers in the Arab world serve more often as printers than as editors. Hisham could judge the originals, but I had to rely on translations. Still, we did not know how well we would work together over a long and improvised journey. Mention to translators the different "time paradigms" of Arabic and English and they throw up their hands. It was also an opportunity to meet Hisham Bustani, my co-editor, who lives in Amman, Jordan. Now we could plot future routes with more confidence. Translating Arabic to English is notoriously challenging. Last year, editor Jennifer Acker co-drove an all-Arabic-literature issue of The Common. Editing Tajdeed: Contemporary Arabic Stories had been a labor of love, but it had not been romantic. Of all books published in the United States in any given year, only 3 percent are works in translation; of those, only 1 percent are from Arabic. Each story he secured contained its own surprises, elegance and terrors. The authors learned to trust us just as Hisham and I grew to trust each other. Authors unfamiliar with the editing process sometimes read suggestions as criticisms and were reluctant to engage, but diplomacy and explanation eventually erased their skepticism. This article originally appeared in Amherst magazine. The inspiration to create Tajdeed came while my husband, Amherst philosophy professor Nishi Shah, and I were teaching for a year in Abu Dhabi in 2012–13, and my return this past April was cause for celebration and reflection. Superficially, we were an excellent team, with complementary skills and contacts. As Hisham often says, an excellent translator must be both bilingual and bicultural. She wanted to know why we'd devoted an issue of The Common, Amherst's literary magazine, to Arabic fiction. After publishing his short story "Freefall in a Shattered Mirror," The Common's first piece of literature translated from Arabic, Hisham and I discovered a shared idea for an English-language compendium of new Arabic writing. But beyond understanding culturally specific references, regional dialects and local idioms (complicated enough in a language spoken by 422 million people in 22 countries), there are fundamental grammatical differences between Arabic and English that require careful attention. Add to this a standard Arabic literary construction that describes action in a way that English speakers read as backwards: "So-and-so did such-and-such after doing such-and-such."
English is not meant to be understood by reading what happens first at the end of the sentence. But our first journey had seasoned us, taught us the lay of the land. We shared meals, saw contemporary art and a Flamenco performance and drove the desert streets. In Arabic literary writing, a past-tense verb at the beginning of a paragraph can create a kind of "past-tense container" that allows all subsequent verbs in that paragraph to be written in present tense but understood as past action. Video: Watch excerpts from Tajdeed read aloud. This last story is in fact deadpan hilarious. For four years, we had worked together electronically to conceptualize, edit, publish and promote Tajdeed, coordinating 26 authors, five visual artists and 18 translators from 17 countries. Rami pointed out that our lunch spot happened to be on an island called Al Raha, which means comfort in Arabic. We could not reverse this trend, but we could make a mark. By April 2017, Hisham and I were ready to toast our long, rewarding, messy process, and to get to know each other as friends. A word-by-word approach to translation—simply "documenting" the original writing, as our translations editor, Alice Guthrie, puts it—is ultimately less faithful to the original than one in which the word order is changed but the meaning and ease preserved. Translated incorrectly, such passages can display a sudden, bewildering shift in time. Rendering the original verb-subject-object order into English requires a deft hand to avoid a baroque and belabored feel absent in the original.

Chapter 3, Mishna 18(b): Father Or King?
Last week we discussed the distinction between being fashioned in the image of G-d, which is the case with all humanity, and being the "children" of G-d, which is unique to Israel. As we explained, every human being has a divine soul and a natural inclination towards goodness — as well as the free will to follow the dictates of his soul rather than those of his body. In this sense we are all formed in G-d's image.
This trait, however, goes only so far. If a person ignores his soul and follows his animalistic and/or selfish desires, given enough time his soul will ebb away and cease to influence him for the better. And in a spiritual sense — and in the eyes of G-d — he will already be dead.
We, the Children of Israel, are different. We do not only *have* souls, but they are forced upon us. We are the children of G-d (figuratively, of course). And just as a truly caring parent never entirely forsakes his child, G-d never allows our souls to entirely perish within us. Even if a Jew lapses fully from spirituality and tradition, G-d preserves that divine spark within him or her, not allowing it to become utterly extinguished. And the Jew, the child of G-d, no matter where he finds himself and how many years or generations have elapsed, will feel that inexorable pull towards his roots. His conscience — his soul — will never be fully quieted. He will know there is something different — something special — about him. Even if hardly audible, his soul will draw him towards G-d. And he will be plagued with a deep and gnawing sense of lacking until he heeds its call.
Before moving on, I should emphasize what this distinction between Jew and Gentile does and does not imply. As we just explained, G-d forces the Jewish people to be in touch with their souls and to never forget Him. But this does not imply that G-d does not desire a relationship with all mankind. We are all precious to G-d. The extra level of guarantee was a special gift inherited from our forefathers — we have an unbreakable bond with G-d. But unlike most other religions, this does not imply that G-d is Israel's exclusive domain. His is the G-d of all mankind, and desires a loving bond with every one of us. It is just that the other nations can break it if they so choose while Israel may not.
Another way of looking at the distinction between Jew and Gentile is as follows. The Children of Israel are referred to here as G-d's children. How, by contrast, would we describe the relationship G-d has with the rest of mankind? As His subjects. To the rest of man G-d is King. To us He is King as well, to be sure — in fact in many ways His governance of us is far more demanding than of the world at large — but He is also Father. I would like to examine this concept a little more closely.
I believe there are two defining aspects to the master-subject relationship. The first is in terms of intensity. Say a subject serves his king faithfully. He will certainly be duly rewarded. And if he openly rebels he will be punished. Say, however, he neither distinguishes himself for good nor bad. He will attract little notice. The FBI will not stalk him, the IRS will not audit his returns, and the NSA will not monitor his correspondence (maybe they will anyway… whatever). But neither will he ever be distinguished for superior service. He will likely live out his life unseen and unnoticed.
Now, of course, the analogy of being unnoticed is not really applicable to an all-knowing G-d. G-d knows each of us quite well. He sees a lot more beauty and value in the human soul than we ourselves are aware of. However, such a subject will not develop a warm and loving relationship with his King. He will exist as a mere subject or servant of a remote Creator. It will be a loss to himself, to G-d, and to humanity, but life will go on.
A second aspect of the king-subject or master-servant relationship is that it is in essence a pact of pragmatism. Each party is looking out for itself. It does for the other because (and so long as) it serves its own interests. If a servant does not obey his master properly, the master can easily dispose of him and replace him with another more suited. And if a servant finds his master too cruel or oppressive, he will rebel or run away (or at least perform as little service as he can get away with). Their bond is no stronger than the interests thereby served — what we will learn later is called "a love which is dependent on something" (Pirkei Avos 5:19), and which is as transient as the "something" it is dependent upon.
The child likewise wants the parent's needs fulfilled because he feels an instinctive bond with his parent. Ideally, he does not serve the parent because he gets something out of it at all, but because it is what his parent wishes.
And such is far worse even than insulting the other. Even if I argue, yell and insult, I at least feel you are worthy of my insult: I have something to say to you. There are some lines of communication: you mean enough to me to be yelled at. But if I ignore you, you are not worthy of any regard. You do not exist as far as I'm concerned. You are a nothing, not even worth the insult.
Sometimes, a wife in a difficult marriage will say she'd rather be ignored than treated the way she is. That might well be true. But, as my teacher R. Yochanan Zweig pointed out, when spouses begin ignoring each other rather than yelling, it is clear their relationship is over. They might find living their own separate lives preferable to living with each other. But calling a cease-fire is not marriage. It is living separate, isolated existences. Choosing not to communicate and endure difficult interactions might improve the lots of the individuals involved (and might very well be the only practical approach), but it also makes it clear that the relationship is dead.
We can now appreciate our mishna's final statement. G-d granted Israel the precious utensil known as the Torah. G-d did not grant it to us as part of a contractual or king-subject relationship. The idea is not: Do this and earn reward. A servant or an employee might be offered such: Work overtime and I'll give you a bonus. And he might well decide to forgo the bonus (or even suffer the punishment) just to avoid the toil. It's his reward to accept or reject.
But this is not the case with the Torah. Our mishna calls it G-d's "precious utensil." It is a symbol of G-d's bond with us — of G-d's marriage contract with Israel. And such a precious gift cannot be rejected — just as the relationship behind it can never be ignored. We must accept and cherish G-d's precious bestowment, bequeathed from loving Father to child. For G-d has given us the means to a true relationship with Him. By studying the Torah's wisdom and values and integrating them into our beings, we become children worthy of our Parent. For it is a "good possession;" G-d asks that we not forsake it.

Sheriff: Man fleeing from larcenies caught in Davidson County
Jul 31, 2018 at 10:54 AM Jul 31, 2018 at 10:54 AM
A China Grove man was stopped and charged in Davidson County Monday while, authorities say, he was fleeing after a series of break-ins and larcenies he committed in Davie County.
Demarcus Richard Smith, 25, of 503 Shue Road Apt. 1D, China Grove, was charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, possession of a stolen firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, three counts of resist, obstruct and delay and speeding.
Davidson County Sheriff's Office deputies received calls Monday from the Davie County Sheriff's Office to be on the lookout for a red Ford Fiesta that was seen in the area of Highway 801 and West U.S. Highway 64. Davie County deputies reported that the vehicle had been involved with several business break-ins that had just occurred, according to a press release from the Davidson County Sheriff's Office.
Shortly after, Davidson County deputies spotted a vehicle matching the description traveling east on Highway 64 West at a high speed. The vehicle was stopped for numerous traffic violations, at which point deputies say they saw a number of stolen goods inside the vehicle, according to the release.
The stolen property is suspected to be the belongings of Lucky Joe's located on Highway 64 West.
Smith is being held in the Davie County jail on a $42,500 combined bond for the charges from Davidson and Davie counties. He will appear in Lexington District Court on Aug. 27.


The process of watching Maryland's loss last weekend at California struck me as very similar to seeing the Terps get eviscerated at West Virginia three years ago.
I wasn't the only one who saw the common bond, as written about for an e-edition story that will be posted tomorrow morning.
But how about a head-to-head comparison of the two debacles – the '06 one, it should be noted, preceded a successful (but also highly fortunate) season.
Obviously, some things are similar, others less so. The most common thing would be the ugliness of the final result.
That's a Ralph Friedgen quote – or at least one provided on a post-game stat sheet, which have a way of being rushed (fully understandable) and sanitized (not quite as nice). And it was stapled into the stat book for that 2006 game in Morgantown.
In any case, the '06 Terps did get over that and wound going 7-3 the rest of the way. As Friedgen said yesterday, it remains to be seen if this year's bunch can fare anywhere near as well over the next 12 weeks.

Hörningsholms skansar är ett samlingsbegrepp för fyra skansar som började anläggas 1623 till skydd och försvar av farleden in mot Södertälje. Namnet härrör från Hörningsholms slott. Ledningen av befästningsarbetena hade fortifikationsingenjören Johan Peter Kirstenius.

Skansarna var en viktig del i Stockholms fasta kustförsvar som skulle vara i detta område i cirka 300 år, från 1623 till 1927. År 1905 inrättades Hörningsholms kustposition med en öppen ställning för ett 57 mm batteri. Anläggningen utvidgades 1915 med en fast 12 cm kanon och minering av Skanssundet. Hit förlades ett kustartilleridetachement, som dock lades ner 1927.

Nässkansen är den idag bäst bevarade av dessa fyra försvarsanläggningar. Den sköts som ett fornminne av Botkyrka kommun. Hörningsholms skansar låg vid sunden på östra respektive västra sidan om Mörkö och bestod av följande anläggningar:

 Hölö skans på västra sidan om Pålsundet.
 Kasholmsskansen (mittemot Hölö skans) på östra sidan om Pålsundet.
 Furuholmsskansen på västra sidan om Skanssundet.
 Nässkansen  (mittemot Furuholmsskansen) på östra sidan om Skanssundet.

Working out and your menstrual cycle
By Prudence Wade
Exercising well isn't just about hitting the gym regularly. It's also about considering other factors, like what time you train and what your diet's like. It's all to maximise your performance, so why does no one ever talk about your menstrual cycle?
New research might just change all of this, however. Data has been collected from over 14,000 active women using fitness app Strava, and been analysed by St Mary's University and FitrWoman, to see the correlation between exercise and the menstrual cycle. With that in mind, exercise physiologist Dr Georgie Bruinvels reveals the influence your cycle can have on your workout..
No one really talks about menstrual cycles Even though it's a natural part of life which a lot of women experience, the menstrual cycle is still a bizarrely taboo topic of conversation. "There's been a lot of historical misbeliefs about it being this 'unmentionable curse'," groans Bruinvels. "But it's a part of growing up and womanhood, and we need to embrace that. In a world where we are really happy to talk about everything and anything, this needs to be something that's a go-to." This is why Bruinvels wanted to do wide-reaching research on the relationship between your menstrual cycle and how you exercise. "There are lots of positive things we can implement around our cycle, and work with our bodies, not against them," she explains.
Moderate exercise can help reduce symptoms When you're on your period, sometimes it can feel like all you want to do is curl up in a ball and eat chocolate. However, actually getting out and doing some exercise could be the key to feeling better. "Moderate exercise" is the solution to period-related side effects, says Bruinvels. These include "stomach cramps, mood swings, lower back pain and general body cramping - all the classics". Bruinvels describes moderate exercise as "hard breathing, but you're still able to hold a conversation - that could be going for a run, a swim, a cycle - anything that raises your heart rate, but doesn't absolutely max you out."
Knowing your cycle can help you workout. When people think of the menstrual cycle, they tend to just consider the actual period. However, the cycle is 28 to 30 days long and Bruinvels wants people to start thinking of it as a whole. In fact, where you are in your cycle can help inform how you might respond to exercise. This isn't to say you should decide when and what to do in the gym depending on the time of the month, but rather it can help you understand how you might be performing. The level of hormones in your body changes over the month, and this is the key to understanding how you feel during your cycle. "Because oestrogen and progesterone travel in the blood, they can affect all different parts of your body, from the way you move and think, to the way you recover from and adapt to training," Bruinvels explains. In the first half of your cycle, your oestrogen levels start to rise, and Bruinvels says: "It's all about doing high-intensity exercise, resistance training, strength and conditioning, and circuits. If you're in the gym, this is the time to go hard with relatively limited recovery." This is your opportunity to up those weights and challenge yourself a bit more, because your body could surprise you. "Whereas in the second half, there's more of an endurance focus," Bruinvels explains. "You can still do circuits at the gym, but you should go in having an appreciation that you might just be consolidating from the first half of your cycle - you're not necessarily going to push it on."
Having the knowledge of how your body works helps you manage your expectations, says Bruinvels. "The pre-menstrual and menstrual period is when I'd go with the moderate intensity, and potentially low-intensity exercises, as well." But it also depends on your body For Bruinvels, this knowledge helps to "contextualise things", giving you a clearer idea of your training and performance. However, it's worth noting that everyone is different. Bruinvels says: "Your body could be conditioned to high-intensity training - it's very much dependent on what you're used to." You might be able to still do that tough weights class during the second half of your cycle, but it's important to understand that your body might not be responding as well as it did before. The theories of these new findings are surprisingly simple, and yet Bruinvels says: "We work with a lot of professional athletes, and surprisingly, their menstrual cycle doesn't really figure into training." Hopefully, this is the start of your cycle becoming more of a consideration - for both professional sportswomen and more casual gym-goers.
The findings have been taken from a global survey of active women, conducted by a team of researchers from St Mary's University and FitrWoman, who analysed the responses from over 14,000 female members of Strava from around the world, revealing that 78% found exercise reduced the symptoms of their period.

Since the revamp of Euro NCAP's rating in 2009, the safety organisation has upped the ante in safety by raising its criteria for 5 stars annually. This translates into significantly safer vehicles for consumers. The recently refreshed Jeep Compass, the most popular sport-utility segment in Europe, achieved only two stars against the 2012 criteria, underachieving in most areas of Euro NCAP's assessment. The compact SUV was tested with an optional side thorax airbag but its test results showed a poor protection levels, particularly in the side pole test. Euro NCAP is also publishing the results of the new Honda Civic, awarded the maximum five star rating. The 9th generation family hatchback achieved high scores in all areas of assessment, putting it on a par with its rivals in this competitive market segment. Euro NCAP has re-issued the Eight cars assessed last with regards to the 2012 tougher requirements for 5 stars: BMW 1 Series, BMW X1, Ford Focus, Ford Ranger, Mercedes M Class, Nissan LEAF, Subaru XV and Volvo V60. Available content includes footage of crash tests, still images and datasheets.

Q: Solve a differential equation using the power series method I used the power series method to solve the differential equation y''+y=0 with y[0]=0 and  y'[0]=1 using the following code. In this code "y" is considered as "y = Sum[c[i] x^i, {i, 0, n}] + O[x]^(n + 1)". In this case the boundary conditions resulted to c[0]=0 and c[1]=1 (8th line). I don't have any problem with this code and it works pretty well.
ClearAll["Global`*"]
n=20;
y = Sum[c[i] x^i, {i, 0, n}] + O[x]^(n + 1);
de1 = D[y, {x, 2}] + y == 0;
coeffeqns = LogicalExpand[de1];
coeffs = Solve[coeffeqns, Table[c[i], {i, 2, n}]];
y = y /. coeffs;
mm[x_] := Normal[y] /. {c[0] -> 0, c[1] -> 1};
Plot[Evaluate[mm[x]], {x, -2 Pi, 2 Pi}, PlotRange -> All,
 PlotRangeClipping -> True, Frame -> True]

Now, I am going to change the boundary condition with y[L/2]=0 and  y[-L/2]=P. (L and P are constant). In this case "y" is considered as "y = Sum[c[i] (x-L/2)^i, {i, 0, n}] + O[x]^(n + 1)". Using the new boundary conditions resulted to c[0]=0 and -c[1] L+c[2] L^2-c[3] L^3+c[4] L^4-…..=P or Sum[c[i] (-L)^i, {i, 1, n}]=P.
I will appreciate if somebody help me to modify the aforementioned code to fit into my new problem.

A: This only works with the assumed n !!!.
Let's n = 6.
 ClearAll["Global`*"]
 n = 6;
 y = Sum[c[i] x^i, {i, 0, n}] + O[x]^(n + 1)
 de1 = D[y, {x, 2}] + y == 0;
 coeffeqns = LogicalExpand[de1]
 coeffs = Solve[coeffeqns, Table[c[i], {i, 2, n}]]
 y = y /. coeffs

 SS = First@
 Solve[{Normal[y] == 0 /. x -> L/2,
 Normal[y] == P /. x -> -L/2}, {c[0], c[1]}]

$\left\{c(0)\to -\frac{23040 P}{L^6-120 L^4+5760 L^2-46080},c(1)\to -\frac{1920
   P}{L \left(L^4-80 L^2+1920\right)}\right\}$

SOL = Normal[y] /. SS

Yours Solution:

$\left\{-\frac{16 P x^5}{L \left(L^4-80 L^2+1920\right)}+\frac{320 P x^3}{L
   \left(L^4-80 L^2+1920\right)}-\frac{1920 P x}{L \left(L^4-80
   L^2+1920\right)}+\frac{32 P x^6}{L^6-120 L^4+5760 L^2-46080}-\frac{960 P
   x^4}{L^6-120 L^4+5760 L^2-46080}+\frac{11520 P x^2}{L^6-120 L^4+5760
   L^2-46080}-\frac{23040 P}{L^6-120 L^4+5760 L^2-46080}\right\}$

And
 P = 1;
 L = 3;
 sol = First@NDSolve[{x''[t] + x[t] == 0, x[L/2] == 0, x[-L/2] == P},
 x[t], {t, -L/2, L/2}]; Plot[{x[t] /. sol, SOL /. x -> t}, {t, -L/2,
 L/2}, PlotLegends -> {"NDSolve solution", " Yours SUM"}]

If you put $L=\pi$ in yours equation seeks to $\infty$
General Solution:
$$x''(t)+x(t)=0,x\left(\frac{L}{2}\right)=0,x\left(-\frac{L}{2}\right)=P$$
   Clear[L, P];
   yyy = First@DSolve[x''[t] + x[t] == 0, x[t], t];
   XSOL = First@
   Solve[{(x[t] /. yyy) == 0 /. t -> L/2, (x[t] /. yyy) == P /.
   t -> -L/2}, {C[1], C[2]}];
   yyy /. XSOL

$\left\{x(t)\to \frac{1}{2} P \sec \left(\frac{L}{2}\right) \cos (t)-\frac{1}{2} P
   \csc \left(\frac{L}{2}\right) \sin (t)\right\}$

  Plot[Evaluate[
  x[t] /. (yyy /. XSOL) /. {P -> 1, L -> {3, 3.1, 3.14}}], {t, -Pi,
  Pi}, PlotLegends -> {"3", "3.1", "3.14"}, PlotRange -> All]

Or:
 Limit[(1/2 P Cos[t] Sec[L/2] - 1/2 P Csc[L/2] Sin[t]) /. {t -> L,
 P -> 1}, L -> Pi]

is $\infty$.

A recent article from the telegraph showed how Intecho is helping hospitality industry improve customer experience whilst they are dining. A good case example is west London's Caractère and Manchester's MANA where Intecho was tasked for designing DALI to illuminate individual tables.
In a nutshell, restaurants can no longer look at technology as optional – integrating it in the right way is now critical to attract diners.
