WWE's Era of Bray Wyatt Has Begun
After Royal Rumble, WWE's Road to WrestleMania Becomes Clear
Nikki Bella makes her return to SmackDown Live, August 23rd, 2016
What is in the water at the SmackDown Live catering table?! Following a relatively subpar (and completely exhausting) SummerSlam that especially did not live up to its potential on the blue brand side of things, we're back to the stellar Tuesday evening offering that we'd become accustomed to since the brand split. The opening 10 minutes set the table perfectly for the brisk two hours that would follow; four key storylines were organically advanced (AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler, the tag division, the women's division, and Heath Slater's everlasting free agency), and we even got the introduction of the two titles we'd been hoping for for over a month. That's right, SmackDown Live has its own tag and women's titles, and they are both beautiful (and much better than the new Universal Title over on Raw).
So now, just one episode after the last pay-per-view, we are on our way to Backlash, the inaugural SmackDown Live special coming in three weeks. A variety of different programs are already in place, with some intriguing ones in the mix (Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt could be the feud that kickstarts both of those dudes' floundering momentum, although The Viper gets some props for allowing himself to be turned into a bloody mess on Sunday). If we keep building at this pace, Backlash could be the do-over SmackDown Live needs after SummerSlam's disappointment.

Why Did the Beatles Really Break Up?
5. Mean Girl 'Mella
Not only did the women of SmackDown Live get a new, awesome title, they also got their first bit of real character development (if you don't count Eva Marie's ring announcer/narrator as character development). One of the best moments from SummerSlam was the return of Nikki Bella, whose very real and very scary neck injury was threatening her career. She picked up the win with a dope new finisher that actually makes her boyfriend Cena's AA look like trash, all over poor Carmella, who had been having a hard time finding her way since moving up without Enzo and Cass. Well, last night, the Princess of Staten Island went full warrior mode, attacking Nikki from behind not just before their scheduled match, but also on Talking Smack (the post-show on the WWE Network) afterwards. It's an interesting double turn, because while Nikki Bella is infinitely better as a heel, she can work as a face, while Carmella needed SOMETHING to get her going. She can be a star; she's got the looks, the lineage, and the charisma, but trying to make her into Lady Enzo was never going to work. This, though…this we can work with.
4. Tyler Breeze Should Be a Star
Wrestling tournaments are almost always a lot of fun, and through half of round one, the new tag titles tournament for SmackDown Live has delivered. Well, mostly. In the first match, the Usos faced off against the Ascension. I'm not going to waste words on an Usos/Ascension match, so here: The Usos won by jumping a lot. But the second match, between superheroes American Alpha and the most underrated team in the land, Breezango, carried a shocking amount of intensity and drama. Part of it is that American Alpha looks so dominant that any dent in their armor amps up the excitement by 300 percent, so when Breezango took control with a few false finishes thrown in, you could feel Jason Jordan and Chad Gable amping up their game on the fly.
The other, more important part, however, is that Tyler Breeze is an incredible professional wrestler. He was matching Gable and Jordan move for move, and even had a believable fakeout with a supermodel into a 2.9999 count. We all figured out that Breeze could go during his late-period NXT run, when he was having great matches with everyone thrown his way; towards the end of his developmental stay, there was no one more worthy of the NXT title than Breeze. As one of WWE's homegrown guys, he gets the style and substance of the beats the company wants its wrestlers to hit, and no amount of bad booking on the main roster has taken that away from him. With the brand split, Breeze is exactly the type of guy that should get a shot with a meaty program; let's hope they realize what they have with him.
3. Heath Slater's Incredible Journey
Not to sound like a broken record on these recaps, but Heath Slater is everybody's jam right now. After interrupting the opening segment to *ahem* "request" a spot in the tag team tournament, Heath set about to find a partner to enter with him; while my heart said Samoa Joe, my brain immediately went to Rhyno, which ended up being the correct choice, after trolls from the Miz and, pleasantly, Arn Anderson of Four Horseman and wicked spinebuster fame. Since the stipulation for Slater to be added to SmackDown Live permanently is that he needs to win the whole tournament, we can either expect this free agency story to continue OR WWE might actually pull the trigger on one of its most dependably hilarious workers. Either way, we all win. Especially Heath's seventy-something kids.
2. The New Face That Runs This Place
AJ Styles has been on fire since joining the WWE; after his extremely well-done debut at the Royal Rumble, he has moved smoothly from a feud with Chris Jericho to a title program with Roman Reigns, before transitioning into a heel role against John Cena, in a feud that he actually won, no questions asked. So it makes sense that Styles, whose in-story character is nothing if not practical, wants a title shot at Backlash. Of course, because he's a southern bro who loves to put himself above everyone else, Styles can't help but mock a defeated Dolph Ziggler, leading to a series of sneak attacks by the Show Off in retaliation and a main event match to determine the title match at Backlash.
Quick note: the booking here is excellent; Daniel Bryan comes out and agrees with Styles that he's the number one contender, but he also gives beloved babyface Dolph a chance to fight his way into that match as well. It gives Styles motivation to win (one-on-one is easier than triple threat) without making his claim to the top invalid. The match itself is great, even if you couldn't expect Ziggler to win and be in two title matches in a row. Styles didn't lose a step since leaving the indies for the big show (not The Big Show), and if he manages to get fun, great matches out of both Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose in the same month, they should induct him into the Hall of Fame immediately. As much as we love Ambrose here, Styles as champion is exactly the right move for SmackDown Live until some massive babyface (*cough Shinsuke Nakamura cough*) comes along to take it back.
1. BONUS: The Miz Cuts the Best Promo of 2016
It's like that you do not watch Talking Smack, the post-show for SmackDown Live on the WWE Network, but you need to watch The Miz's promo from last night's episode. Mike flipping Mizanin went supernova on poor Daniel Bryan, who made the mistake of calling out Miz's wrestling style and Intercontinental reign to date. Really, it was the "you wrestle like a coward" line that sent The Miz off on a promo that blurred the line between scripted drama and all-too-real poison barbs. Not only did Miz call Bryan a coward for not wrestling after promising the fans to return from his neck injuries, he also went for the Yes! Man's so-called love of wrestling. You can see the moment Daniel Bryan's heart breaks right when Miz mentions the bingo halls of his past.
This type of moment (and it is A Moment, not just a throwaway promo) is exactly what makes wrestling compelling; a blur between outrageous fiction and the very real physical dangers that these performers put themselves through. Whether it was scripted to the letter or whether The Miz went too far and legitimately made Daniel Bryan walk off the set while both Renee Young and Miz's own wife Maryse tried their hardest to keep up with the spectacle of it all. You can argue that this type of promo crosses the line (although Miz is a heel and Daniel Bryan might be the most popular personality in WWE) or that it should have aired on the blue show proper, but what can't be denied is that this is not just a vital promo at the hands of the second biggest title holder on SmackDown Live; it was a career-defining moment for one of WWE's most loyal and hard-working performers.

Q: Python - data frame - cannot remove duplicates This has been puzzling mew for a while. I have the following data set denoted under raw data, and have run two checks, #1 to identify a sample duplicate, and #2 to remove duplicates with drop_duplicates. The #1 test does identify duplicates, yet #2 does not seem to remove any duplicates.

Help would appreciated with reasoning why duplicates do not drop, thanks!

A: You have to reassign the output of drop_duplicates either to df or to a new variable.  It does not happen in-place.
df2 = df.drop_duplicates(['link'], keep='first')

A: The links provided are not same.
https://www.otodom.pl/oferta/idealny-2pok-apartament-0-pcc-widok-na-park-ID43q4X.html#64f19d3152
https://www.otodom.pl/oferta/idealny-2pok-apartament-0-pcc-widok-na-park-ID43q4x.html#64f19d3152
In one link it is X and in other it is x
Also variable a and b are always None
so it print equal

India to create strategic uranium reserve
Andrew Topf | July 19, 2015 | 2:53 pm Energy Asia Uranium
Concerned about running out of nuclear fuel, India is creating a strategic uranium reserve to ensure that its atomic reactors can keep producing electricity without interruption.
"The reserve pool could be anywhere between 5000 MT to 15,000 MT which can last for 5-10 years," The Times of India reported on Sunday, quoting a senior government official.
Sign Up for the Energy Digest
Nuclear represents a relatively small portion of baseload power for densely populated India. The country operates 20 mostly small reactors with a capacity of 4,780 megawatts or two percent of total electricity capacity, according to the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited.
However the government is hoping to increase that to 63,000 MW by 2032 by adding 30 reactors, at an estimated cost of $85 billion, Aljazeera reported in 2014.
India is actively seeking agreements with foreign powers in order to reach that goal, on top of the nuclear agreements it currently has with 11 countries and deals to import uranium from Russia, France and Kazakhstan.
In April of this year Canada and India inked a $350 million uranium supply deal that will see Saskatchewan-based Cameco Corp. (TSE:CCO) (NYSE:CCJ), the world's largest publicly traded uranium miner, provide fuel for Indian reactors.
The deal formally ends a long-dragged dispute that began after New Delhi used Canadian technology to develop a nuclear bomb in the 1970s.
Cameco will supply 7.1 million pounds (3.22 million kilos) of uranium concentrate to India over the next five years.
In 2014 Australia signed a nuclear deal to sell uranium to India for civilian purposes, despite the country not ratifying the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. And in March of 2015, India and Russia inked a contract to provide enriched uranium for the Tarapur Atomic Power Station, located in the western state of Maharashtra.

The turmoil is the latest example of acute supply stress in global metals markets, and represents the third time in 12 months that the LME has stepped in to increase monitoring.

JNN 17 Feb 2015 Najaf : The most powerful leader of Shias in Iraq, Ayatollah Sayed Ali Al-Sistani has issued a powerful statement to the Shia resistance volunteer fighters in Iraq, reminding them of their obligations towards justice. Ayatollah Sistani is followed by millions of Shia Muslims across the world and is responsible for reigning in sectarian bloodshed in Iraq in the past decade.
Be attentive to the sanctity of the human souls! Never should you do to them something which God has not deemed permissible. Be attentive to the sanctity of the lives of those who do not fight: the weak, children, women. Even if families of those who fight you.
Do not condemn others to heresy. Do not accuse them of blasphemy which could then lead to their death. Do not imitate the Kharijites. Never inflict harm on non-Muslims, regardless of their religion and sect. The non-Muslims are under the protection of the Muslims. In fact the Muslim must protect his non-Muslim neighbours in the same manner and vigour as he would when he protects his own family.
Do not steal the money of others. Those who steal from others will find themselves seated in the flames of the fires of hell. Do not disrespect the corpse of the dead, and if you defeat the men of your enemies do not violate the sanctity of their women and houses. Do not enter their [defeated enemies] homes.
Don't take anything from their houses. Take only what you find in their military encampments. Do not verbally abuse their women. Do not insult their honour, even if your enemies abuse your women and insult your honour. Do not deprive any people, who do not fight you, of their rights.
Know that most of those who fight you are victims who have been led astray by others. Let your righteous actions, your just conduct, and your sound admonition, serve as an example for them. Do not resort to oppression.
Corruption can only be cured by justice.
" It may be the case that when you adhere to good conduct & discipline you suffer losses. This, nevertheless, is more spiritually rewarding. Be the guardians and admonishers of those who accept you, so that in the end they will support you against your enemies. Help the weak among them however you can. They are your brothers & your family. Show compassion towards them like you do with your own.
Do not let anything take precedence over your obligatory prayers. Prayer is the means through which man humbles himself before God. Remember God at all times. Recite passages from the Qurʾan. Remember that one day you will stand before Him.
Strive to act in the same righteous manner as the Prophet and his progeny, peace be upon them, in times of war and peace. Be the good example that Islam deserves. This is the religion that was built on illumination, reason, and good manners.
Do not be haste in situations where caution is required. Do not undergo an action which will be the cause of your spiritual perdition. Advise each other. You will not find better advice than that which you offer each other. Unite, come together & overlook your differences.

Exactly right and it's really simple to relate to probabilities if you try. For instance if the weather forecast shows a 80% probability for rain you probably cancel a big outdoor event or move it inside. That doesn't mean that you won't be sitting inside complaining that the sun is shining and the event would have been better outdoors. In talking aobut what the Brewers are doing the probability of them dong what they just did, winning 12 in a row including winning overtaking the Cubs, winning a one game playoff, winning the NLCS and winning the first game of the NLCS was very slim. The fact that they did it anyway did not invalidate the statistics that showed those odds were slim anymore than the decision to move the outdoor event indoors based on an 80% chance of rain invalidates weather forecasting. When you use numbers to foresee outcomes you are projecting while if you just pick, say a winner of a playoff game in the absence of numbers, you are predicting there is a huge difference. Also, going back to the weather forecasting example, if the models for projecting the weather are consistently wrong, the models will be reexamined. In baseball if the numbers show that a hitter can't hit to the opposite field, and you employ the shift to exploit that, and yet the hitter starts to do what you weren't projecting than obviously those numbers change as well. None of this is hard. If you say there's an 89% chance that Houston wins the ALCS if they win tonight and then Boston wins four in a row that also doesn't invalidate the numbers used to project that outcome.
He basically said, Nah to the Nats 10yr 300mil offer today. He is definetly looking to test the market. This bidding war should be interesting.
I'm hearing Cards may be involved. Man I'm gonna be so pissed if Harper plays in StL. I don't think its going to happen but I'll be pissed.
Cards have reached the point where they need to make a big move to appease the fans, who are getting plenty impatient.
They were second (allegedly) on Heyward, and on David Price. They missed on Stanton, and Osuna was a train wreck for the first half of the season. They scored a coup, they thought, getting Holland late in the FA period last year.
Meanwhile they are three seasons without a playoff appearance and four without a playoff series win, and they need to do something.
There are plenty of rumors at early in FA that seem to have every team interested in every player, but so far the Cards are rumored to be interested in Kimbrel and I think Harper and Machado fit their needs well. I just don't know that they'll go that big. They may pull another "we tried", but the fans are getting tired of that. It will not shock me if they go big. But I still expect Harper to land elsewhere.
Both teams are tight on budget. Doubtful.
CWS Jerry broke the 10M barrier so breaking 400M? He has been in that light before.
The big players: BOSOX/ NYY have little need for either.
LAD really don't need Harper. If they feel Muncy was a fluke and move the pieces around maybe but they don't need to invest 400M to make it work.
There maybe others out there that make sense but with a 400M dime I'm thinking that Philly is getting 1 and the White Sox is the fav for the other. Harper and Bryant can be besties then. And rivals.
So pitching. LH part time 1B bat to push Pujos to DH more. And wait for Otanhi to DH again.
Nothing to see here unless they call on Montgomery or Chatwood as they need pitching.
A minor trade would be Cartiani as they need catching and a 1B option. Which he does. So a pack up deal of him and Chatwood would be feasible under the right scenerio for both teams.
I am a Harper to the Cubs advocate. I would hope that any contract he gets has lots of bonuses for games played to protect against the fact that Harper is as likely to play fewer than 120 games as he is more than 140.
There was a lesson to be learned from the past WS. One of the complaints about Roberts was that he "played the numbers" instead of just putting his best 8/9 hitters out there. Harper would be one more bat Maddon couldn't justifiably platoon. Depnding on the 12 teams on Heyward list this season, I could see a possible trade with the Angels. I could see/hope a trade of Heyward, Cartini, Chatwood, and Quintana for Kole Calhoun and maybe Justin Anderson. LA gets upgrades in RF, C/1B, and one good starter along with another inning guy and the Cubs get payroll relief, which is their primary concern. Even if the Cubs have to pick up 10M a year for the remainder of Heyward's contract, that's 35M is relief this season and 25M next.
Worst thing the Angels say is no.
Well Boras didn't show his hand but said 300M not close enough and players like Brice play to 40.
So 14/400M is a thing now.
I'm holding to Philly getting 1 of the 2 and the black sox as the other.
35M per? I can see that with Bryant. More stable shorter span due to age.
The 14 year thing is fine. As long as the AAV of 28M is front loaded.
To get a 14 year the AAV has to be lower to give a comfort factor of being paid til 40. But I would protect myself with 4x40 so at 30 he owed 240 or 24M AAV. even then I could hit 4x30 after to kill 1/2 of it leaving 6 years 120M from 34-40. Or 20M AAV. Which is fair market then.
One article I read insists that the Phillies are the favorite to sign Harper and another thinks Harper will sign with either the Dodgers or Yankees, since both are contenders and are in bigger metro areas than Chicago with tons of endorsement chances.
The Yankees are always unpredictable because they may want to respond to Boston winning the Series. I'd be more worried about the Angels than Dodgers.

Q: What is "Data" involved in a mathematical construction? What exactly do mathematicians mean when they refer to "the data" involved in a construction?
I've encountered this many times and I can usually figure out what's going on, but I am curious about the terminology, how it was introduced, and its connotations.
A concrete example: In pages 35-6 of "Differential Geometry" by R.W. Sharpe, there is a section entitled "Construction of Bundles". The author outlines three conditions that hold for a given $G$ bundle, and then later refers to these three conditions as "data" from which a $G$ bundle can be constructed. This usage confuses me.
Is there a semantic reason why standard words, like "component", "part", or "constituent" are not used?

A: "Data" is the plural form of the Latin word "datum", which means, among other things, "thing that is given". Viewed this way, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

A: The word "data" (singular datum) comes from the Latin and means "thing(s) given". In mathematics, a notion is typically introduced by saying something like, "an operad consists of the following data... subject to the following axioms". It's the stuff that has to be given in the first place before you can begin putting conditions on them in the form of axioms.
In logic, data is described by a signature (which specifies what sorts of operations and relations one is dealing with); once the signature is given, then you can specify the axioms in terms of logical formulas which are written in terms of the function and relation symbols of the signature.

A: I don't know.  However, this time I won't let that stop me from answering.
If you talk to a carpenter or a craftsman about a geometric or algebraic
construction, they might look at you in a funny way, since your product
is not material.  Also (unless you are doing topological surgery or concatenation
of words), you usually don't put parts or components together.  Instead you
follow a recipe of low or high level operations applied to things already
constructed, which are as intangible as the result.  The stuff you feed to
the operations is some form of structured data, some of it numeric, some
linguistic, some relational.  Also during the process, you need to check that
the inputs satisfy appropriate requirements, and/or that the recipe can
guarantee the desired outcome.
That's why I am comfortable with the use of the word 'data', and prefer
it to something like 'component' or 'subassembly'.
Gerhard "Except When It Seems Apt" Paseman, 2013.04.14

A: I read it as saying that: if I (the author) were implementing this on a computer I would write a function that took DATA as input and which returns an instance of whatever we are constructing. In this setting DATA is a finite tuple and we specify what type of thing each term is. Sometimes there are conditions on DATA in which case the function would first check that these conditions are satisfied.
If you don't want or like to think in terms of programming it is saying that there is a function from the set of possible DATA (possibly satisfying conditions) to the set of things we are interested in.

A: People have already given several good answers, but I'd like to emphasize the way I usually use "data" as a term. As has been mentioned, "data" means "things given", but I usually use it (and have seen it used) in the following context:
Say we have a theorem that is as follows.

Let $f \colon M \to N$ be an $L$-Lipschitz mapping between two Riemannian manifolds of equal dimension. Then there exists a constant $C$ depending only on the data such that...

In my eyes this would mean that $C$ is a constant depending on $L$ and the dimension $n$ of the manifolds, but independent of the specific choice of the mapping or the manifolds.

Дми́трий Нарки́сович Ма́мин-Сибиря́к (настоящая фамилия Мамин; , пос. Висимо-Шайтанский завод, Верхотурский уезд, Пермская губерния — , Санкт-Петербург) — русский писатель-прозаик и драматург.

Биография

Родился  в посёлке Висимо-Шайтанского завода Верхотурского уезда Пермской губернии (ныне — посёлок Висим Пригородного района Свердловской области) в семье заводского священника Наркиса Матвеевича Мамина (1827—1878). Его сестра Елизавета (1866—1925) в августе 1878 года была зачислена сразу в третий класс Екатеринбургской первой женской гимназии. Младший брат — В. Н. Мамин, депутат Государственной думы Российской империи II созыва. Дмитрий получил домашнее образование, затем учился в Висимской школе для детей рабочих, позднее — в духовном училище (1866—1868) и в Пермской духовной семинарии (до 1872 года, полный курс не окончил).

В 1872 году поступил в Императорскую медико-хирургическую академию на ветеринарное отделение. С 1874 года ради заработка писал для газет отчёты о заседаниях научных обществ, в газете «Сын отечества» и журнале «Кругозор» публиковал остросюжетные истории о разбойниках, уральских старообрядцах, загадочных людях и происшествиях. В 1876 году, не окончив академии, перешёл на юридический факультет Санкт-Петербургского университета. Проучившись год, вынужденно оставил университет из-за материальных трудностей и резкого ухудшения здоровья (начался плеврит).

Летом 1877 года вернулся к родителям.

С начала 1880-х годов занимался литературным трудом, неоднократно выезжал в Санкт-Петербург.

В 1890 году разошелся с Марией Алексеевой, после чего жил в гражданском браке с артисткой Екатеринбургского драматического театра Марией Абрамовой и переехал в Санкт-Петербург. В 1892 году 28-летняя Абрамова умерла при родах, оставив больную хореей дочь Алёнушку (Елену) на руках потрясённого этой смертью отца. Своей дочери Дмитрий Наркисович посвятил цикл своих произведений для детей, который он так и назвал: «Алёнушкины сказки». Не без труда добился писатель прав на отцовство, и в итоге Елена Дмитриевна Мамина была признана законной дочерью Мамина-Сибиряка. Она прожила недолгую жизнь, как и её мать: в 1914 году скончалась от туберкулёза.

В 1902 году вместе с друзьями-писателями посетил Кисловодск, опубликовав впоследствии рассказ «Погибельный Кавказ».

Дмитрий Наркисович 4 августа 1911 года перенёс кровоизлияние в мозг, паралич руки и ноги. Летом 1912 года вновь заболел плевритом.

Скончался  в Санкт-Петербурге. Похоронен на Никольском кладбище Александро-Невской лавры, через два года рядом похоронили его дочь; в 1956 г. оба перезахоронены на Литераторских мостках Волковского кладбища.

Творчество

В широкую литературу вошёл серией путевых очерков «От Урала до Москвы» (1881—1882), опубликованных в московской газете «Русские ведомости». Затем в журнале «Дело» вышли его очерки «В камнях», рассказы («На рубеже Азии», «В худых душах» и другие). Многие были подписаны псевдонимом «Д. Сибиряк», чтобы его не путали с господином Томским, написавшим неудачный роман.

Один из первых романов — «В водовороте страстей», опубликованный Маминым в малоизвестном журнале и подписанный псевдонимом «Е. Томский» был очень раскритикован, вследствие чего он решает пока не писать.

Первым крупным произведением писателя стал роман «Приваловские миллионы» (1883), который на протяжении года печатался в журнале «Дело» и имел большой успех. В 1884 году в журнале «Отечественные записки» появился роман «Горное гнездо», закрепивший за Маминым-Сибиряком репутацию выдающегося писателя-реалиста.

Продолжительные выезды в столицу (1881—1882, 1885—1886) упрочили литературные связи Мамина-Сибиряка. Он познакомился с В. Г. Короленко, Н. Н. Златовратским, В. А. Гольцевым и другими писателями. В эти годы писал и печатал много небольших рассказов и очерков.

Последние крупные произведения писателя — романы «Черты из жизни Пепко» (1894), «Падающие звезды» (1899) и рассказ «Мумма» (1907).

В своих романах и рассказах писатель изображал жизнь Урала и Сибири в пореформенные годы, капитализацию России и связанную с этим процессом ломку общественного сознания, норм права и морали.

В нескольких произведениях Мамин-Сибиряк, как и ряд других писателей — А. П. Чехов («Ванька», «Спать хочется»), В. Г. Короленко («В дурном обществе»), Д. В. Григорович («Гуттаперчевый мальчик»), — рассказывает о горькой доле детей из бедных семей, а также сирот. Детям, лишённым детства, учёбы, заботы со стороны взрослых, обречённым на тяжкий труд, постоянный голод, а нередко и на раннюю смерть, посвящены, в частности, его рассказы «Кормилец» (1885), «В ученье» (1892), «Вертел» (1897).

Свои произведения писатель подписывал по-разному: Баш-Курт, Д., Д. М., Д. Н., Д. Н. М., М-ин., Оник., С-к, Д., С-ряк, Д., Седой, Сибиряк, Д., Томский Е., — ъ; N., Рассказов.

Irvington Names Search Firm for School Superintendent
River Journal — October 5, 2011
The Irvington School Board of Education has begun the search process to hire a permanent superintendent replacing Dr. Robert J. Roelle who was appointed interim superintendent on Aug. 15.
After interviewing a number of educational consulting firms that conduct superintendent searches, the Board, at its Sept. 27 meeting, retained Hazard, Young, Attea &Associates (HYA) of Illinois to assist in the search.
HYA was selected based on its experience in conducting more than 800 searches and its national network that enables it to identify and recruit current and emerging leaders in the field, while providing accurate, critical and confidential information regarding candidates under consideration.
Hank Gmitro, HYA President, said the firm prides itself on the longevity of the superintendents it helps place, estimating that approximately 85% of the individuals employed through its searches continue in the position (or have retired from it). "We are highly successful in our searches and look forward to this partnership with the Irvington school district," he said.
Working with the Board, HYA will customize the search to meet the specific needs of the Irvington school community and find a leader whose focus is on the primary work of the schools – the improvement of student learning and educational opportunities for our students.
"During the coming months, we expect the search firm will meet with our community, identify our needs and, with input from stakeholders, create a leadership profile report that will guide our search and result in a successful appointment," said John Dawson, BOE President.
The decision to engage HYA at this time keeps the district well on track to appoint a superintendent for the 2012-2013 school year.

Module 1: What is bullying?
You will be introduced to the concept of bullying
You will have a grasp of the criteria for a behaviour to be considered bullying
You will learn what forms of bullying have been dealt with
You will be given an insight into who is at risk of bullying
Module 2: What is Cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is a form of bullying, in that it causes harm to the victim. However, there are distinctive behaviours that are not normally associated with traditional bullying.
The latest statistics on Internet usage by children give key insights as to why the cyberbullying rate is increasing.
Cyberbullies use social media platforms for bullying purposes, precisely because of their inherent "socialness'.
If your child has been cyberbullied, they will most likely show signs distinctive to cyberbullying victims.
Module 3: Why children bully
Bullies can be profiled based on their typical behavioural characteristics, which helps to identify potential bullies.
Anyone can be a bully, regardless of age, appearance and gender.
Examining a bully's background helps us to identify the emotions that they may feel, but that does not invalidate their wrongdoing.
Participating in a certain social group whose purpose is to be powerful in the school community can be a reason why some children become bullies against their morals.
Module 4: Short and long term effects of bullying and how to spot the signs of bullying
Being a bully could be a way to assert power and gain reputation as a child, but the long term consequences can be the exact opposite.
In many cases of bullying, the victim will start believing that they deserved such treatment.
Dealing with the emotional trauma that bullying puts on its victims can elicit direct physical responses.
Adults who experienced bullying in their childhood are more likely to have depression and anxieties later in life.
Module 5: What can parents do if their child is being bullied?
Mental preparations and emotionally distancing yourself from the child's problem will help you to solve it.
Being understanding of the pain of a child who has been bullied and not passing judgment or blame is critical.
When children resolve bullying problems on their own rather than having the parent resolve it for them, they gain self-confidence.
Role playing games are a very effective way to help your child prepare for when they next encounter the bully.
Module 6: What to do if your child is a bully?
The importance of mental preparation for parents before implementing corrective actions to their child's behaviour is critical.
Teaching empathy helps children overcome aggressive tendencies and prevents them from repeating bullying behaviours.
Parents actively helping their children in correcting bullying behaviour will help them feel less ashamed and will also deepen the parent-child bond.
Children will notice discrepancies between parent's words and actions and will use this as a basis to invalidate parental advice.
Module 7: Teacher's perspective on bullying in schools
Why teachers should be observant if they do notice bullying behaviour, as it is their duty to stop it immediately.
After the immediate action needed to stop the bullying, the teacher has a duty to report and follow up the case.
Bullying happens in almost any school, but the types of bullying and the reasons differ.
Teachers should also take the lead in discussing new school policies, as well as not being afraid to challenge ineffective ones.
Module 8: Identity-based bullying & special cases
Why improper understanding of societal rules or lack of knowledge about key issues are the culprits, when it comes to bullying.
The importance of being open minded and allowing children to express themselves in whichever way they choose.
Why it is hard for non-transgender students to imagine what potential issues could be, as well as their motivation for wanting to change gender.
Why racist or radically nationalistic ideas are often as a result of family beliefs and wrong ideas that get transferred to the child.
Module 9: The Equality Act 2010
The Equality Act 2010 generally distinguishes between six forms of discrimination, each covered under a section of the act.
The law prohibits schools from engaging in all forms of discrimination against pupils, in relation to their admission, provision of education, provision of access to facilities, benefits or services.
The Equality Act 2010 defines a set of "protected characteristics', which each individual possesses and cannot be discriminated based on them.
Some forms of discrimination are not prohibited under the Equality Act 2010, if they were done in good faith and "with proportionate means to achieve a legitimate aim'.
Module 10: Government & Ofsted guidance on tackling bullying in schools
There are a number of Acts, Laws and Regulations that schools and teachers must adhere to, in regard to tackling bullying.
All schools must show due regard, when making decisions that affect day to day activities.
All schools must produce their own anti-bullying policy and take an active approach to inform parents about its contents.
All schools are also obliged to have a carefully planned strategy, in relation to their anti-bullying policy.
Students must have basic literacy and numeracy skills.

During the late 1920s Armstrong Whitworth built a series of oil tankers for a variety of Norwegian companies. The tankers were of similar specifications, the Binta was the first of this class to be constructed, being completed during April 1928. The design was of the two deck type with poop, bridge and forecastle and trunk on deck, built to Lloyds +100 A.1 class.
The Binta was purchased by Petroleos Mexicanos SA of Coatzacoalcos in 1940 and renamed Cerro-Azul. In the early hours of September 19th 1955 Hurricane Hilda took a direct hit on Tampico, with wind gusts estimated at 150mph and heavy rains flooding 90% of Tampico, half the homes were damaged, leaving 15,000 homeless. In the midst of all this chaos the Cerro-Azul was wrecked on the North Jetty at Tampico, refloated on November 2nd 1955 and scrapped shortly after.
Although the Binta was a product of Armstrong Whitworth it was fitted with an Atlas diesel, Stockholm.
for Per Gjerding of Bergen, launched February 14th 1930 from the Walker Yard, christened by owners daughter Anne M Gjerding. Trials completed off the Tyne on April 7th 1930. The mean speed, fully loaded for the measured mile was 11.2 knots.

When the Germans invaded Norway the Nina Borthen was at Galveston, having arrived on April 8th, remaining there until May 11th when the vessel sailed for Gibraltar.�After reaching Gibraltar on June 4th, the ship sailed on June 13th in convoy HGF 34 for Southampton. Whilst in transit the Nina Borthen sighted a surfaced U-boat on June 21st, reporting this to the convoy escort. She arrived at Southampton on June 30th.
The Nina Borthen is recorded in convoy CW 7 (Southend-Falmouth), departing Southampton on July 20th. The next day (21st) at least eighty German aircraft attacked this convoy several times, with the Nina Borthen being damaged in an early attacks. No injuries were reported but the ship did take refuge at Spithead. The damage sustained was repaired at Southampton, departing on September 27th for Falmouth, arriving the next day.
The ship then headed for Milford Haven, departing from there in ballast on September 30th in convoy OB 222 for Table Bay and the Persian Gulf, her bunkers contained 300 tons of fuel, enough to reach Cape Town. The convoy dispersed in a storm on October 5th, there was no further contact with the ship, ten weeks later one of her lifeboats washed ashore near Dunmore, Ireland.
It would be a torpedo from U-103 late on the evening of October 6th (position 54N 26W, 500 miles west of Ireland) which caused the ship to develop a list which was then corrected by the crew. Two further torpedoes hit the tanker, a fourth torpedo broke the ship in two and sank. There were no survivors from the crew of 28 Norwegians and 7 British.
The Beaulieu was built for Messrs Biorn Biornstad & Company of Oslo, being launched from the South Yard, Low Walker (Yard No.1063) on May 29th 1930, the christening performed by the owner's wife.

When World War II broke out on September 3rd 1939 the Beaulieu was at Southampton discharging oil.
When Norway was invaded during April 1940 the ship was en-route from Jacksonville with a load of oil. Between April and July 1940 the Beaulieu was shuttling between East Coast ports (Halifax, New York & Jacksonville) and Caribbean ports (Aruba, Cartagena, Curacao, St Michaels & Trinidad).
On the evening of July 30th the Beaulieu departed Ponta Delgada in ballast for Aruba, but was later ordered to go to Caripito, Venezuela to load a cargo of oil for Aruba. On August 4th 1940 the German auxiliary cruiser Widder carried out a brutal night attack on the Beaulieu with machine guns and heavier weapons. As the Beaulieu was being shredded by this gunfire the crew took to the boats, spending nine days at sea until picked up by the tanker Cymbeline. Four crew members were killed in the attack. An attempt to sink the stopped Beaulieu by torpdeo failed after the torpedo malfunctioned and ran around in circles. Eventually bombs placed on board sank the ship at position 26.30N 48.44W, in the mid Atlantic about 900 miles south-west of Bermuda. Post-war Captain Hellmuth Von Ruckteschell was tried as a war criminal in Hamburg, being found guilty of failing to secure the safety of the crews from several ships, including the Beaulieu. The sentence was for ten years imprisonment, but the Captain died in June 1947 whilst being held in custody.

Happy early birthday to you, Diana Ross!
The iconic pop, R&B and soul singer celebrated her birthday onstage at the 2019 Grammys on Sunday, more than a month before she will turn 75, and gave the audience a performance of two of her hits, her 1970 debut solo single "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)" and the 1993 song "The Best Years of My Life."
Ross, who performed some of her set while walking through the audience, was introduced onstage by her 9-year-old grandson, Raif-Henok Emmanuel Kendrick, son of her daughter Rhonda Ross Kendrick. Other family members, including Ross' daughter Tracee Ellis Ross and son Evan Ross, were also in attendance and cheered him and the singer on.
"Did she say little guy?" the little boy said about host Alicia Keys, who had announced him. "I'm almost 4 foot 9."
"She is amazing," he told the audience about Ross. "Young people like me can look up to her for her independence, confidence and willingness to be her unique self. she has shown the world that nothing is beyond our reach. So, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my grand-mommy Diana Ross."
Raif-Henok had also won audience members' hearts at the 2017 AMAs, when he danced onstage during her performance.
"When I was a little girl, I felt the joy of singing," Ross said onstage at the Grammys. "It made me happy. It made my parents happy, and it led to this day, and it still brings me joy. Through my life, there has always been music, and its power."
"Thank you for being here and celebrating my 75th birthday," she said. "Thank you! Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! Thank you you're so wonderful and beautiful."
While Ross has never won a Grammy for an individual project, many of her songs remain among the most memorable in music history.
In 2012, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy.
