Challenges to issued U.S. patents have grown at an alarming rate since the advent of inter partes review ("IPR") on September 16, 2012. IPR is a procedure introduced under the America Invents Act that allows for challenging the validity of an issued patent in the Patent Office rather than in the courts.
One of the driving forces behind the popularity of the new procedure is that the implementing rules require the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB") to use the "broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification of the patent" when evaluating patents whose validity is challenged. By construing the patent claims more broadly than is practiced in a court of law, the PTAB makes the patent claims more likely to read on the teachings of prior art references. The result? Claims are more likely to succumb to an anticipation or obviousness challenge.
The very first IPR, decided in November 2013 by the PTAB, has now become the first to be considered on appeal by the Federal Circuit. On February 4, the court's 2-1 decision in Garmin v. Cuozzo Speed Technologies affirmed the PTAB in all respects, agreeing that three claims of the challenged patent were invalid for obviousness.
Cuozzo sought a broader construction that would cover a display that integrated the functions and structures of the two claimed parts in a single display structure. To the PTAB and the court, such an integral structure lacked the required attachment of two parts.
Despite Cuozzo's insistence on a broader claim construction, it paradoxically challenged the PTAB's use of the "broadest reasonable interpretation" (BRI) standard for construction. Cuozzo argued that BRI was applicable only in an examination before a patent examiner, not in an adjudicative IPR procedure before the PTAB where only an extremely limited opportunity to amend the claims is available.
The Federal Circuit panel in Cuozzo jumped at the chance to be the first on the court to take a position on the proper standard for claim construction in IPRs, even though the outcome of the case did not evidently hinge on that issue. Notably, the judges' outlook on the purpose of IPRs informed their articulation of the applicable claim construction standard.
For the two judges in the Cuozzo majority, IPR is a procedure by which the PTO can undo erroneously granted patents. Historically, the PTO has — as in reexamination and reissue proceedings — applied the BRI standard to any patent whose claims could be amended. In view of this nearly 100-year history, the majority concluded that Congress impliedly called for this standard to continue to be applied in IPRs.
Even if Congress had no expectations with regard to the standard for claim construction, it had given the PTO rule-making authority to establish the standard. By confirming that BRI would be applied in IPRs, the PTO had exercised this authority. For these reasons, the majority ruled that this standard was properly applied.
IPRs would be viewed as fairer and more complementary to litigation if they involved a standard for claim construction that is applicable in court or at least influential upon the courts. This is not possible when different standards are applied.
The claim construction battle is not over. The views of the Federal Circuit panel as to the proper claim construction standard in Cuozzo appear to be dicta — that is, collateral opinions that do not directly affect the outcome of the case and which have no binding authority. (The Court affirmed that even under the BRI standard, the claim was narrower than the construction sought by Cuozzo, so adopting a narrower claim construction standard would not change the result to Cuozzo's benefit.) As such, panels in subsequent Federal Circuit opinions should be free to come to their own conclusions. Significantly, a precedential decision may be forthcoming if the Federal Circuit agrees to rehear this case en banc, that is, with the participation of all the judges.
Courts are not the only source of authority on this issue; legislative action is also possible. Congress is considering legislation that would require the PTAB to apply to patents subjected to IPRs the same claim construction standard that is mandated in federal district courts. Therefore, while Round 1 goes to the PTAB and to the use of "broadest reasonable interpretation," there may well be more to come.

Record complete conference Node js – TROPO, INC.
Hello everybody. Has someone done before a recording of a conference room with many users in? I'm aware that the flow of the script stops when hitting the conference method, and the startRecording() function doesn't work here.
I am using Node js for my app, and I haven't found a suitable method for creating a multithread environment and send my session object. I would really appreciate your advice!
Since you're using Tropo WebAPI, there won't be multithreading problem for you.
It should be working in that way. Might it be that the user speaks in a low volume? or your media player has a low volume setting? We do not have other customers complaining the low-volume issue. If you really can not figure it out, please send us an email at support@tropo.com with some examples (session IDs or call details) so that we can help you take a check.
Is there any way, whether with multithreading or not, for recording the call at a conference room using the Nodejs WebAPI? I mean, an option for doing it on a compliant way with the API.


ARELEN is an outcome of the Tempus project "Leadership in Higher Education Management".
Universities in the Arab region are facing severe challenges relating to their future development. These challenges are the result of general trends in international higher education and broader societal changes, especially in recent times. Universities are operating in an international arena that requires sound management systems in order to respond adequately to an ever-growing demand for higher education provision, the need to maintain and further improve the quality of teaching and research.
Given the demographic development in the Arab region, whilst taking into account limited resources, Universities have to become more efficient and effective in their operations. This requires specific skills and competences for their current and future leadership. ARELEN serves as a network that will help universities and academics to be able to respond more effectively to the demands placed on them by society and current and future generations of students.


The ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law held its fourth annual conference in Chicago on 3-6 November 2010. Dr. Denise Neumann Martin, Senior Vice President and Chair of NERA's Employment and Labor Practice, participated in a panel session entitled "Get in the Game: The Latest News and Developments in Wage and Hour Litigation." The dramatic growth of multiple plaintiff and class action lawsuits under federal and state laws has made wage and hour litigation a hot topic for employment lawyers and created an increasing demand for lawyers familiar with the procedural and substantive issues that arise in these cases. This panel provided guidance for handling the fundamental aspects of this type of litigation, and highlighted the latest issues governing hours of work and payment of wages, including exemptions from overtime, employee misclassifications, and the compensability of hours worked.


47! packages of seeds - where in the world am I going to plant all this, never mind starting the ones that need it indoors? Well, I can always share...friends beware, strange packages of seeds coming your way! There was good food, interesting people, and an "eco-fair" with cool booths like composting worms and solar ovens and lots and lots of seeds. The workshops and films sounded interesting, but I had a limited amount of Free Mama (shouldn't that be a movie?) Time.
This is a dear aunt's Christmas present from a Christmas past (I'm not telling how past). Having no tracing paper, no fabric pencil, but really really wanting to embroider a swallow on it (they have barn swallows in their backyard), I tried to free-hand stitch it after drawing the outline from a book of Safiya's...it's not done, but I can already tell my swallow looks like he hasn't eaten in a while...it's an emaciated swallow...sigh, well, it looks swallow-ish! (I like it enough to resist pulling out the stitches - I hate pulling out stitches.) I'll post the finished product tomorrow.
Not to drag all the details out, but Mr. S. and I have a kind of "attachment parenting" thing going on, which has included carrying Safiya in a sling, co-sleeping, and breastfeeding on demand. It's been lovely, perfect for us (including the ups and downs and what-in-the-world-are-we-doing? - that's part of it), and we've never regretted our decision for a second. And it's resulted in me nursing a toddler, which very often results in general hilarity.
For the past week before bed Safiya has been saying that she doesn't want to go upstairs and doesn't want "Mama milk". To quote: "I don't want to go upstairs, I want to stay downstairs. I don't want Mama milk!" Chalking it up to staying-up-too-late-delirium and seemingly general toddler indecision, we've been ignoring her, taking her up to bed, and she ends up nursing to sleep like she always does. But she wasn't very happy before bed and it was taking a long time to go to sleep.
I happened upon two articles by Sandra Dodd, one on sleeping and the other on meals. We've been toying with the idea of eventually unschooling, so the ideas, which are based on a fundamental respect for children and a trust that they can figure things out, weren't too far of a stretch, but still....trust your two-and-a-half-year-old? Yikes.
Today she nursed only when she woke up from her nap, for a little bit. Today for the first time ever she went to sleep (for both her nap and at bedtime) without nursing. And she was happy.
I'd cry a little bit, or rather I did when it happened to me. When Freddy stopped nursing (25 months?) it was pretty hard for a while. I did find comfort in Finny, however, growing nicely inside me, keeping warm with mama love.
Fast forward two years and Fred may not be nursing but she is still co-sleeping and only beginning to toy with the idea of sleeping on her own.
It is hard, but it is beautiful too.

Are Today's Retail Leaders Qualified To Manage The Post-COVID-19 Future?
May 7, 2020 at 9:43 AM EDT
By Adam Blair
If the COVID-19 crisis has taught retailers anything, it's that even the best-laid plans and the most solid projections may need to be radically rethought — if not junked altogether. That fact makes it even tougher to predict which skills and qualifications will be most essential for the industry's leaders in the future.
For example, if the online shopping surge generated by the coronavirus leads to long-term gains for e-Commerce versus brick-and-mortar stores, by 2025 retail executives could be operating in a far more digitally oriented landscape than anyone could have expected. Additionally, if recovery from the COVID-19 economic slowdown is weak, many individual companies — and perhaps the entire industry — will face the challenge of operating in "survival mode" for a prolonged period.
In a number of areas, however, the coronavirus has simply accelerated trends that were already affecting both consumers and retailers. "We predicted back in 2018 that by 2025, 70% of U.S. consumers would be ordering groceries online on a monthly basis, but we're there today," said Hilding Anderson, Head of Retail Strategy at Publicis Sapient in an interview with Retail TouchPoints. "The digital investments needed in grocery, apparel and big box stores have been sped up five years — and most retailers are not ready yet. That's one reason we're seeing digital revenues spiking, but profitability taking a massive hit — most of the [current] systems aren't built for the volume we're seeing."
Even if it's impossible to know exactly what lies ahead, a number of leadership traits and skill sets will become invaluable as the industry undergoes significant shifts. These include:
The need for leaders to be agile learners, with the ability to quickly gather the data and insights needed to deal with fast-changing situations;
The ability to apply critical thinking in order to overcome inevitable blind spots that can skew decision-making;
The need to understand and respect data science and algorithms, which will play even larger roles in retail than they already do;
The recognition that digital-first behaviors are quickly becoming the rule rather than the exception;
Placing a priority on a brand's purpose and ethical stance, and having those values reflected throughout the organization and its workplaces;
An even greater emphasis on both diversity and sustainability, both important to the Gen Z consumers who will be moving into their prime spending years and entering the workforce; and
C-level executives' commitment to creating more empathic connections between themselves and the employees working for them, as well as the consumers purchasing their products.
Retail TouchPoints gathered insights from a range of retail industry experts on these topics:
The Need For Leaders To Be Agile Learners
"Today's leaders need to be 1. Strategic; 2. Team-oriented; and 3. Learning agile. Previously, you could have gotten by with just the first two, but now leaders need to be learning agile as well because the world just changes so fast. The pattern recognition that likely got these leaders to where they are won't get them, and their companies, to where they need to go in the future."
— Chris Walton, CEO, Omni Talk and Third Haus
The Importance Of Critical Thinking Skills
"Leaders have to do a lot of decision-making around the company's strategic direction, mergers and acquisitions, key hires, new technology, the company's overall mission or purpose and ethical dilemmas that may come up, so a lot of skills involve how these leaders make decisions. They need to apply critical thinking and identify their high-risk blind spots, for example when they are likely to have confirmation bias. Leaders need to know when to apply both critical thinking and analytics to reduce those blind spots and overrule politics and bias. Increasingly, leaders have more data and tools available to do these things, as long as they utilize them in the right way."
— Jim Harter, Chief Workplace Scientist, Gallup
Digital-First Becomes A Business Basic
"The next leaders need to be able to understand their consumers [who are] shopping digitally first for the entire customer journey, and figure out how [the retailer] can be there for the customer during their times of need. Consumers will see that the digital systems gaining prominence with COVID-19 are incredible time-savers, and the leading retailers are the ones that understand that these are new behaviors being trained. However, leaders also need to balance digital offerings with profitability; if the companies aren't profitable, they won't be in business for long."
— Hilding Anderson, Head of Retail Strategy, Publicis Sapient
Ensuring The Brand Reflects Ethical Values
"We know already that ethical leadership will be even more important both to consumers and to employees, and that leaders will be expected to be accessible and responsive in ways that were never expected before. A key skill set that will become even more vital is the ability of a leader to create, convey and retain trust with both internal stakeholders and customers as well as other external stakeholders."
— John Kurtz, Partner, Kearney
Ensuring Sustainability And Diversity Become Standard Practices
"Retailers can't afford to not be thinking about sustainability, now and into the distant future. If their business models aren't transformed around sustainability, they themselves will find it hard to survive. This encompasses everything from product design to sourcing to logistics to how they think about real estate. And what goes for sustainability also goes for diversity and inclusion, and the principle applies to ideas as well as people. [Whether diversity applies to] sexual orientation, gender, age, background or culture, it's critical for leaders to consider these many influences. I think the wave of Gen Z's coming into the workforce will help set expectations for diversity and inclusion. As well as being digitally native, I see them as being inclusionary from the get-go."
— Matthew Katz, Managing Partner and Practice Lead in the Retail & Consumer Practice, SSA & Company
C-Level Executives Must Understand Consumers On A More Personal Level
"We've seen that for many incumbent organizations, the distance between the CEO and end users is vast — and it's measured not in miles, but in degrees of detachment from an empathic understanding of the human experience of the organization's customers. While retail CEOs doubtless are themselves end users of some of the products they sell, they are also, at an average age of 58, at one end of a demographic spectrum of consumers. A CEO's commitment to understanding their customers on a personal level can help them differentiate their organizations in a world drive by supply-chained, brand-positioned, market-researched, lean-manufactured priorities that often leave surprisingly little room for personal observation and experience. The consumer has spoken and the firm has actively and deeply listened; companies that 'get' them will be rewarded with loyalty, and with their business."
— Benjamin Finzi, Managing Director, Deloitte Consulting, and Co-Leader, Deloitte's Chief Executive Program

War Attractions of Finland
There are many travelers who are interested in the art of war and particularly one of the biggest wars on Earth, the WWII. While the memories from the war are not very positive, the military machinery left from that period constitutes a great historical heritage for the participant countries. Here are a couple of sites related to the World War II in Finland.
Vesikko Submarine is one of the heroes of the story. Ironically it was built by the Germans in 1930s, later sold to Finns. The latter used the submarine for different missions, while the most prominent period of its biography is the world war, when Finland used the submarine against the Germans, its creators.
Unfortunately, after the Paris Treaty, Finland was made to sell all of its submarines to Belgium. The only one left in the hands of Finland was Vesikko. It was taken apart and reconstructed in Suomenlinna. Finland had 5 submarines, there was only one left after the war. It's a pretty harsh decision considering the fondness of Finns to lakes and water, in general.
The submarine now belongs to the Military Museum of Finland, one of the most exciting museums in the country, and displays the life of marines who have spend days and weeks inside the submarine cabins. You can't see technology that old now, there are only certain places, where the secrets of war and machines are open to public. Up to 20 people could serve in the crew. The space is comparatively small, but it's still enough for the overall functioning of the crew.
Suomenlinna has a striking history itself. It's one of the most popular sea fortresses in Finland, which is why it's more than natural that the submarine was placed exactly here.
The submarine doesn't provide any disability features, so make sure you're in good shape before the visit. Don't even try to enter the boat if you have claustrophobia. The rooms are really narrow, don't risk your health for the sake of an attraction. The ticket will most probably cost €5.
It'll give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the Finnish martial history, which hasn't been so rich since the brave Vikings, but there are still some stories to tell.
Enough about submarines, let's talk about other military aspects, like bunkers. They've been the venues for crucial historic decisions, places where directly connected with the outcomes of WWII, and so on. Virolahti Bunker Museum is an appropriate place for visiting a real bunker . . . more precisely, a bunker that looks very much like a real one.
The museu was opened 1980, but features the trends of equipping and using a bunker during the Second World War. This particular bunker is made of wood, and it might not be very impressive because there were no bloody battles or scared cries inside it, but the techniques are still very educating and informative. The tour is guided, so you will be told every single detail that could matter and save a person's life. The price also includes a 15 minute-long movie.
The bunker is not the only place of interest, the outside surroundings are just as attractive. There are weapons, different items used in daily and exceptional occasions.
You can also walk through a communication trench, which will instantly give you the chills. The cost is only €4. Isn't it interesting? A single submarine is more expensive than a whole museum. I don't think it has anything to do with the quality, the fame is a more common criterion.
Both attractions are open in summer months. Snowy Finland has a slightly different scene to offer. Sport fans will love it in winter, while military fans should count the days the summer days. The majority of military museums are easier reachable in summer. Winter vacations are more family and romantic-oriented, summer vacations are a filled with adventures and unique vacation ideas. Even if you choose to visit Finland in summer, you should definitely check out the weather as well. Sometimes it's called summer, but it's winter in reality.
There is a small kiosk nearby. Frankly speaking, there are no amazing items to buy, if you can purchase a tank, that would be an incredible souvenir. Other than that, there is nothing too interesting, really. There are also no restaurants nearby. You should either rent a car and travel from one place to another for a small dish of Finnish cuisine. Another option would be bringing your own cuisine along and enjoying it around the attractions.
These attractions would definitely interest historians and people interested in wars or military. Ordinary civilians also have a good chance to learn something new. There are many other similar places you can visit, check out if their locations coincide with your agenda. If you find a single attraction that doesn't, plan the trip without hesitation.
The trip would especially be exciting for those who have never seen a war or a military conflict. These kind of attractions are a great way of introducing them to the horrors that can take place during a war. It's much more convenient to visit a bunker museum than a real bunker.

New light on dark matter
CRISPR's breakthrough implications
This artist's impression shows the evolution of the universe, beginning with the Big Bang (left) and the appearance of the cosmic microwave background. The formation of the first stars ended the cosmic dark ages, followed by the formation of galaxies.

Researchers explain that dark matter particles may have electric charge, and why that matters
By Megan Watzke CfA Communications
Date May 30, 2018 November 26, 2018
Astronomers are proposing a new model for the invisible material that makes up most of the universe: It is possible that a fraction of dark matter particles may have a tiny electrical charge.
"You've heard of electric cars and e-books, but now we are talking about electric dark matter," said Julian Munoz, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Physics who led a new study published in the journal Nature. "However, this electric charge is on the very smallest of scales."
Munoz and his collaborator, Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), explored the possibility that charged dark matter particles interact with normal matter by electromagnetic force.
Their work dovetails with a recently announced result from the Experiment to Detect the Global EoR (Epoch of Reionization) Signature collaboration, known as EDGES. In February, scientists from this project said they had detected the radio signature, and possible evidence for interaction between dark matter and normal matter, from the first generation of stars.
Some astronomers quickly challenged the EDGES claim. Meanwhile, Munoz and Loeb were already looking at the theoretical basis underlying it.
"We're able to tell a fundamental physics story with our research no matter how you interpret the EDGES result," said Loeb, chair of the Harvard Astronomy Department and the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science. "The nature of dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries in science and we need to use any related new data to tackle it."
The story begins with the first stars, which emitted ultraviolet light. According to the commonly accepted scenario, this UV light interacted with cold hydrogen atoms in gas between stars, and enabled the atoms to absorb the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation left over from the Big Bang.
"The nature of dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries in science and we need to use any related new data to tackle it."
— Avi Loeb of the CfA
This absorption should have led to a drop in intensity of the CMB during this period, less than 200 million years after the Big Bang. The EDGES team claims to detect evidence of this, though it has yet to be independently verified by other scientists. However, the temperature of the hydrogen gas in the EDGES data is about half of the expected value.
"If EDGES has detected cooler-than-expected hydrogen gas during this period, what could explain it?" said Munoz. "One possibility is that hydrogen was cooled by the dark matter."
At the time when CMB radiation was being absorbed, any free electrons or protons associated with ordinary matter would have been moving at their slowest possible speeds (since they were heated later on by X-rays from the first black holes). Scattering charged particles is most effective at low speeds. Therefore, any interactions between normal matter and dark matter during this time would have been the strongest if some dark matter particles are charged. This interaction would cause the hydrogen gas to cool because the dark matter was cold, potentially leaving an observational signature such as that claimed by the EDGES project.
"We are constraining the possibility that dark matter particles carry a tiny electrical charge — equal to one-millionth that of an electron — through measurable signals from the cosmic dawn," said Loeb. "Such tiny charges are impossible to observe even with the largest particle accelerators."
Only small amounts of dark matter with weak electrical charge can both explain the EDGES data and agree with other observations. Were most dark matter charged, these particles would have been deflected away from regions close to the Milky Way and prevented from re-entering. This conflicts with observations showing large amounts of dark matter close to the disk of our galaxy.
Scientists know from observations of the CMB that protons and electrons combined in the early universe to form neutral atoms. Only a small fraction of these charged particles, about one in a few thousand, remained free. Munoz and Loeb are considering the possibility that dark matter may have acted in a similar way. The data from EDGES and similar experiments might be the only way to detect the few remaining charged particles, as most of the dark matter would be neutral.
"The viable parameter space for this scenario is quite constrained, but if confirmed by future observations, of course we would be learning something fundamental about the nature of dark matter, one of the biggest puzzles that we have in physics today," said Harvard Assistant Professor Cora Dvorkin, who was not involved with the new study.
CfA's Lincoln Greenhill is currently testing the EDGES team's observational study. Greenhill leads the Large Aperture Experiment to Detect the Dark Ages (LEDA) project, which uses the Long Wavelength Array in Owen's Valley, Calif., and Socorro, N.M.
The study appears in the May 31 issue of Nature.
This work was supported by the Dean's Competitive Fund for Promising Scholarship at Harvard University, and by the Black Hole Initiative, which is funded by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation.
Jennifer Doudna, who first identified CRISPR/Cas9 as a gene-editing tool, delivered three lectures about the tool's rapid spread and the need for discussion about the ethics of its applications.


The concept of a work family is nice. The problem is, you're stuck with family, good or bad. With a team, you can pick and choose.
On many occasions, we've heard office culture described as a family. This sounds like a great concept to embrace. But is it really the best thing for our companies?
In most places, a family represents a unit where there is unconditional love, unconditional understanding, and no sin so great that one would be excommunicated. Even if our family member is in jail for a heinous crime, they're still our blood relatives. They're still family.
In contrast, a team is built to achieve a desired outcome, and with that outcome, we have expectations that must be filled in order to remain a member of the team. Teams must always be looking to find key additions, make timely subtractions, and know when to make substitutions in order to increase performance. Families don't work that way.
Do you remember the name of the player that Kevin Durant replaced when he joined the Golden State Warriors? Who cares? That wasn't the point of the hire. The point was to make the Golden State Warriors better. Do you think the rest of the Warriors sat around bemoaning the loss of a mediocre power forward, or did they perk up with the prospect of a selfless league MVP joining their starting lineup?
Just because you're on the team today, does not guarantee you'll be a team member tomorrow. Like athletes, we live in a "what have you done lately" world. A-plus effort with B-minus results is not commendable. It's not how we build a business. A-plus effort is nice, but you must get A-level results to build. Nobody gets credit for time in the seat or the effort generated; they get credit for results.
When we have managers start thinking that every new hire or every team member is part of an idealized family, they are loathe to upgrade the parts of their team that must be upgraded in order to generate A-level results. They will make additions, sure. But they'll never make subtractions or substitutions on their teams without a knock-down, drag-out fight. This will surely lead to atrophy on the team. Or, as is common in our industry, it will lead to the principals and PMs having to do even more heavy lifting than they already do to get the necessary results. Stagnation will result.
What else will happen to this team? The stars won't work as hard and will generate fewer positive results because they'll play to the lowest common denominator. Eventually the stars will leave for a competitor or to start their own firm. Then what's left? Maybe you'd have a burnt-out principal and team members nobody else would hire. Then you'd see a degree of negativity start to creep out past the borders of the immediate team and into the office, or even the firm. Then, over time, you'll find the entire organization is mired in mediocrity.
Netflix has a great litmus test that may seem very aggressive for a conservative industry like architecture and engineering. Managers at Netflix must answer the question, "If this person tried to resign, how hard would I fight to keep them?" If the answer to that question for any given team member is that you would not fight that hard, or not fight at all, then you have some room to improve that team.
As leaders, we are obligated to the firm, not to the employment of any one individual. That sentiment goes straight to the top of the organization chart. If the CEO is falling asleep on the job, then the board needs to act swiftly to find a new general, because the troops will notice. They will lose faith in their leadership, and they will go to work for a competitor.
It's tough managing a team of A-players. They need to be fed; they are demanding. Do you think Kevin Durant is not demanding of his coaches and teammates? Hell yes he is! We need to feed these stars with more responsibility, more training opportunities, and more chances to demonstrate and exhibit their leadership. Ultimately we need to feed them with the chance to be part of our ownership ranks. And we need to feed them by surrounding them with other A-players.
We cannot expect the stars that we're fortunate enough to have to continue to perform at that level if we surround them with B- and C-players. The task is a huge one, no doubt. We're in an industry with a shortage of prospective talent to begin with, and then we must apply a filter to find A-players. Yes. We. Do.


Transcript SHREVE MEMORIAL LIBRARY BOARD. October 1948. The Shreve Memorial Library Board met at lunch in Dining Room #1 of the Washington-Youree Hotel, on October 19th, with the following members present: Mr. J.C. Hamilton, Chairman, Mrs. T.B. Lanford, Mr. C.B. Moore, Mr. Jack P. Fullilove, Mr. George A. Meadows, Mr. Leonard F. Hargrove, Mr. Louie Throgmorton, Mrs. Marvin Bass, and Mayor Clyde Fant, who arrived following lunch in time for the business meeting. The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was dispensed with and the Librarian reported tentative plans for the 25th Anniversary celebration. Plans for publicity included articles in the Shreveport Magazine, the house organs of the Arkansas-Louisiana Gas Company and the Southwestern Gas and Electric Company, radio programs and spot announcements, feature stories and editorials in the Shreveport Times and Journal and news stories on the week's activities. Plans for the actual celebration began with a photographic contest in November which would serve as a build-up for the annoversary, Open House in the Library on Sunday December 5th, and a week of evening programs to be conducted by the city's literary clubs. In the discussion which followed Mr. Hamilton suggested that the Librarian consult Mr. James Hampson of the Arkansas-Louisiana Gas Company, Photographic Department as to the advisability of a photographic contest and the Board gave its consent providing Mr. Hampson's opinion should be int he affirmative. Mr. Hargrove suggested the possibility of an exhibit from the Norton Collection of which the Board highly approved. Mr. Throgmorton and Mrs. Lanford suggested a contest in which patrons would be asked to bring in old and rare books. On the whole, the Board approved of the plans as presented and directed to the Librarian to go ahead with their execution. The Board then discussed a sign for the Library and disapproved of plans submitted for a neon sign. They requested that bids be asked for bronze letters or copper plates. The Chairman then reported that Mr. J. Stuart Smith had looked over the Library and its needed repairs and refused to consider undertaking the project, it being too small and too expensive to be under-taken at this time. The Librarian then presented a proposed budget for the Parish Department for the year 1949. With salaries remaining at approximately the present level the total budget request came to $15,596.00, however if custodians' salaries were to be raised to $1.00 per hour, then a budget of $17,000.00 would be necessary. After some discussion it was decided that the Police Jury members of the Board should meet at a later date with the Librarian and discuss the budget more fully, and the Board as a whole would abide by their decision. The Librarian had been asked by the planning committee of the American Library Association's Southwestern Regional group, if Shreveport would be interested in being host city to its conference in 1949. The Board thought it would be a good thing, providing the expenses to the city were not too great. The Librarian was asked to secure information from other cities as to cost attendant upon entertaining the Association and then confer with the Chairman of the Board and with the Mayor, who would as a committee make the decision. There being no further business to come before the Board the meeting adjourned. ___ Chairman. Bess Vaughan, Secretary.

Border poll
United Ireland
Varadkar
Varadkar says he would like to see a united Ireland in his lifetime
"I would, but only in accordance with the Good Friday Agreement."

TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR has said he would like to see a united Ireland in his lifetime.
Varadkar was taking part in the Ask Me Anything segment on Today FM's Dermot and Dave Show.
Asked if he would like to see a united Ireland, he said: "I would, but only in accordance with the Good Friday Agreement so that's only with the consent of the majority of people in Northern Ireland."
He said "that's really important stuff and nobody should be forced into anything they don't want".
"And also, I think, if we ever get to that point, we need to make sure that unionists in Northern Ireland and British people in Northern Ireland feel that a united Ireland is a warm place for them," Varadkar said.
We don't want to have a repeat of what happened 100 years ago when a minority were left behind.
Earlier this week, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was warned that loyalists in Northern Ireland will "not tolerate an economic united Ireland".
Sinn Féin vice president Michelle O'Neill said on Tuesday that Brexit means the British and Irish government needs to begin preparing for holding a border poll to have a united Ireland. O'Neill said the poll could take place within five years.
Asked how he feels about the current Brexit impasse, Varadkar said Britain leaving the EU is only stage one of the process, and compared the proceedings to a divorce.
"There is the sense that we will get a deal. They will ratify it and they will leave the European Union, but then the next thing starts, which is negotiating a new relationship," he said.
"What we're doing at the moment is a kind of divorce. Members are deciding, making sure that the kids are looked after, deciding the financial settlement that type of thing," Varadkar said.
"The next step then is, how do we get on with each other after divorce because we're still going to need to have a friendship of some sort," he added.
"So, it just moves on to the next phase, but the most important thing in the first phase was just to protect those really important things like making sure that wasn't the border between North and South and people's rights are protected and that people can still travel freely between Britain and Ireland."
11.10.19 Dublin council to vote on lobbying minister to ask Northern Irish secretary to organise a border poll
11.09.19 51% of people in Northern Ireland support Irish unification, new poll finds
20.07.19 Ireland's ambassador to the UK says a Northern Ireland border poll would 'degrade' attempts to resolve Brexit
Varadkar said he has a good relationship with Johnson.
The pair had a "private one-on-one meeting" in Cheshire earlier this month in a last-ditch effort to break the Brexit deadlock.
Varadkar said: "He is the guy you see, like he is personable, he's intelligent, he's witty – he is very normal.
"You can talk to him about stuff, you know. Some politicians are really hard to talk to. He's a little bit eccentric, a little bit alternative."

Qualifying for the 1996 UEFA European Football Championship final tournament, took place throughout 1994 and 1995. Forty-seven teams were divided into eight groups. All teams played against each other, within their groups, in a home-and-away basis. The winner of each group along with the six best runners-up automatically qualified, while the two worst runners-up were involved in a play-off on a neutral ground. England qualified automatically as hosts of the event.
This was the first qualifying phase for the European Football Championship which awarded three points instead of two for a victory.

- Typography is a deep and wonderful universe. Looking at letter forms, we can see that they are independently beautiful as works of art. In addition to being beautiful, letter forms also form words, sentences and thoughts. These are the very foundation of our history. Letter forms enable us to communicate with one another and to transmit every aspect of our civilization from one generation to the next. I'm Ina Saltz and I'd like to welcome you to the world of typography.
Typography is everywhere. It has traditions, practices, functions, and a language all its own. Type plays a vital role in every form of media. The whole idea of this course is to give you a solid foundation in the basics of typography, whether you are designing a brand identity, a book, a website, or just a brochure for a local business. If you've never had any formal training in typography there will be plenty of material in this course to help you make better decisions about your typographic usage.
Even if you are not new to the field I think you will find this course to be a great refresher and you may even discover some new concepts and practices that will improve your use of typography. We'll explore universal and timeless principles of typography, and explain good typographic practices. We're going to get up close to the details of type, so you can get a better sense of why it works the way it does. We're going to talk about basic principles of type to help you make the best design choices for your projects.
And we'll go over naming conventions, so you can speak about type with professionalism and confidence. I'm passionate about letter forms. For more than 30 years I've been deeply involved in the world of type, and I'm excited to share with you the foundations of typography.


Some big horror movies are due out in 2018, and we'll probably be surprised by a few left-field newcomers as the year goes on. There's not much chance that any will be more terrifying than Hereditary, however. The movie comes from first-time director Ari Aster, and will offer a wild supernatural thrill ride for casual and die-hard horror fans alike when it opens on June 8.
Hereditary stars Toni Collette, Alex Wolff, and Ann Dowd (of The Handmaid's Tale), in a story about Annie Graham (Collette) who discovers chilling and bizarre truths about her family following her mother's death. Annie, her son (played by Wolff) and the rest of their family is tested to their limits and beyond by a chain of events that would destroy most of us.
With a star-studded cast and an original concept, Hereditary looks like nothing we've seen in years. It's exactly what the horror scene needs. In the last few years horror has tended towards either the understated slow burn or studio efforts that lean heavily on jump scares. Exorcisms and haunted houses aren't always front and center in horror any longer. That's where Hereditary comes in. This supernatural story might revitalize this once-popular approach.
The cast is Hereditary's first big weapon. Toni Collette can emote like no one else, and this story is like an emotional obstacle course. Her character Annie is an artist who turns her own experiences into unsettling dioramas – her art has a lot going on but she's not the most emotionally available person. She knew her late mother was secretive, but as those secrets are revealed Collette is challenged with some vivid, vicious scenes, and doesn't flinch away from a moment of it.
Opposite Collette is a wide array of talent, beginning with Gabriel Byrne as Annie's husband Steve, who is patient and as nurturing as he can be. Alex Wolff plays their son Peter, who as the trailer shows must perform some of the film's more odd and grueling scenes – he and Collette spray a torrent of emotions at one another.
And then there's newcomer Milly Shapiro as Charlie, the couple's daughter, who keeps to herself and makes strange art pieces. But Charlie also seems more in tune with the supernatural world than anyone else, and Shapiro's performance is destined to be the one that will surprise and impress audiences the most.
We can't tell you all the reasons that Hereditary stands out from a story perspective, but the trailer hints at a few of them. Suffice to say that the back half of the film is packed with the sort of family history that makes this movie feel like classics such as Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist. Time Out New York even called Hereditary "this generation's The Exorcist." Considering The Exorcist was notorious as the scariest film in the world for many years, this is high praise indeed.
Ultimately the scariest thing about Hereditary may be the way it ties the supernatural to family history. We've all seen those aspects of our families that we don't like and would prefer not to replicate – and most people have also realized that they've carried some unpleasant aspects of their family forward despite making efforts to prevent that from happening. In Hereditary that idea is very literal, and scary as hell.
This movie creates a very believable family, thanks to great actors bringing a terrific script to life, and then puts them through something close to actual hell. It does so by making us feel what these people are all going through, so we get scared of the same things that are terrifying them, rather than by stuff jumping out of the shadows.
We're not surprised that scaring audiences by making them care about characters is the best way to make a supernatural horror film that feels fresh and new; we're just thrilled that the team behind Hereditary managed to do it so well.
Hereditary his theatres June 8.


Well, we all know we shouldn't rely too much on statistics for pitchers who've only faced 80 major league batters (though pitcher strikeout rates do stabilize with pretty small samples). But going as much by what my eyes tell me as the statistics, I think there's a good chance that Ross may prove to be a better pitcher than either Gio Gonzalez or Doug Fister over the remainder of this season. I think the team has its best chance of winning if they let him stay on the team, rather than sending him back to Harrisburg. Let him stay; if it turns out that these last three starts have been a fluke, we can always send him down later. But give him a chance to pitch for us now and prove the doubters wrong.
How would we use him? Although he could be sent to the bullpen, my own preference is to use him as a starter. While that might mean sending Fister to the bullpen, I think a better option would be to use him in a modified 6-man rotation.
How would that work? Assign Ross to pitch once a week—for example, he starts every Saturday. The other pitchers would pitch on their regular rotation, but they'd get an extra day's rest when it's Ross's turn to pitch. Why do that rather than just plug him into a 5-man rotation? It comes down to work load and innings limits.
Ross has never pitched more than 122 innings or faced more than 524 batters in a season. Most teams don't want to increase that work load more than about 30 innings (or 25%) in a season. He's faced 286 batters so far this season. If we want to limit him to about 650 batters over the rest of the season, that would work out to about 15 more starts at about 24 batters per start. I proposed a similar once-a-week schedule for Stephen Strasburg the year of his shutdown; Tango Tiger proposed a similar schedule on his blog.
Maybe Ross will be great; maybe just good; or maybe he'll need more time in the minors. But given the disappointing state of the Nationals rotation other than Max Scherzer, let's give him a chance.

Fire district looks at charging property owners for false fire alarms
by Richard Uhlhorn
Chelan Fire & Rescue is considering charging home owners, resort owners and other properties for multiple false fire alarms that are responded to. Fire Chief Mark Donnell explained that most municipalities have False Alarm Ordinances. "The first response is free," said Donnell. The charge would be assessed for the second false alarm. "We get called to Chelan Resort Suites one to two times a month. Their alarms are really sensitive"
The fine proposal would be for $100 which would be used to fix the problem. "False alarms tie up our resources," said Donnell. The ordinance, if approved, would have to be adopted by the City of Chelan.
The District and EMS are down to 50 calls which according to Donnell is true nationally. "The biggest decrease is in EMS calls. It is slower than normal," said Donnell. "We will see a larger impact on July 4."
The Fire District is working with the City of Chelan on a mutual fire services plan. Councilman Ray Dobbs is the liaison between the Fire Department and the City. Donnell also said they have had meetings with Hospital CEO George Rohrich regarding combining the fire service with the EMS.
Fire Chief Mark Donnell
Donnell also reported to the commission that there are 637 tax exempt parcels within the Fire District. This includes state, federal and local government owned properties along with religious organizations and undeveloped land. According to Donnell the district is losing an estimated $147,000 a year for protection services to these tax exempt properties.
"We are going to have a conversation with the private entities," said Donnell. "Schools are the only one exemption. We get paid by student count," said Donnell. "$147,000 is a significant chunk of change we are missing out on every year." Donnell stated that all of these properties should have an interlocal agreement in place. If not, and a fire occurs, they will be billed.
Chief Donnell reported that over the years the District has had one of the five engines out of service during the entire fire season. "That is totally unacceptable," Donnell stated. "We are at a critical juncture with fire apparatus."
The District is looking at replacing some of the aging equipment. "In the past we have replaced old equipment with old equipment," said Donnell. "We are not looking to buy new, but looking at purchasing newer equipment." Donnell is also looking for equipment more suited to the District.
Board Chairman Phil Moller
"We have to see what we can do with the equipment we have," said chairman Phil Moller. "I don't see us tightening our belts. Are we moving equipment around to make sure we have protection," he asked?
Donnell replied that he appreciated what Moller was saying and stated that equipment has been moved around to make sure all areas are protected. "We have just enough equipment," said Donnell. The solution is to start looking at equipment replacement.
Donnell said the District can find usable equipment at a cost of approximately $135,000. The other option is the Department of Natural Resources surplus equipment in October. Chelan Fire and Rescue has had numerous engine/electronic problems with its Ford F550s and they remain problematic. "We had one cardiac arrest and the guy died when the Ford went into Limp Mode," said Donnell. The Ford was in the shop for almost a year and Ford mechanics couldn't find the problem. "I can't, with good faith, put firefighters in 71 and have it go into Limp Mode," said Donnell. He wanted board approval to move forward, but Moller said he would like to wait until after the July meeting and Long Range Planning is completed.

RNAfold v2 using the ADPfusion library. The RNAfold algorithm is used to determine how fast we can be compared to a highly optimized C program.
Please use GHC 7.6 or newer.
NOTE I'd like to rename this package to RNAfold, like the C implementation. Do not install "globally", especially if you normally use RNAfold from the ViennaRNA package, for obvious reasons.
This algorithm is the second, and much larger, test case for ADPfusion. We implement "RNAfold v2" in the MFE variant using "-d2" dangles. Both a library version and an executable are created. The "RNAFold" binary expects single sequences, one per line. Backtracking tracks all co-optimal structures.
A simple "cabal update && cabal-dev install RNAFold" should be enough.
where it is advantageous to calculate the outer basepair only once, not twice as we are doing. It is probably better to try to improve the handling of fusioned code and/or final assembler generation than finding calculations common to different parts of CFG's.


Biophysics. The areas of interest cover the study of biomolecules, in particular protein crystallography, electron transfer in the reaction centres of bacteria, where the main intermediate steps of photosynthesis take place. The process of protein folding is now attracting the attention not only of biophysicists, but even specialists from other areas, such as condensed matter physics. Research in biophysics has also included the origin, evolution, distribution and destiny of life.
Neurophysics. With its modern molecular biology background, neurophysics is an exciting area of research that has been developed at the Centre through a series of colleges and symposia. It is also possible to consider this subject in the broader context of neuronal structure and function, while addressing important issues of perception, learning, memory, behaviour and computational aspects.

A journey through Australian landscapes
Author: Christine Reid
Publisher: Murdoch Books
Buy In US/Canada
This lavishly photographed book, written and curated by internationally respected gardening author Christine Reid and shot by renowned photographer Simon Griffiths, focuses on 18 stunning gardens from around Australia situated on a natural 'frontier'-rainforest, desert, bushland, saltbush plains, a volcanic crater, the ocean's edge, a harbour. The featured gardens have been created or restored in locations where the surrounding natural landscape is as significant as the cultivated and designed elements. In its images and stories Gardens on the Edge is much about the diversity and character of the Australian continent as it about the gardens. The accompanying stories not only explore the establishment of the garden, but also reference Australian history and geography, and cover issues ranging from dealing with droughts and climate change to restoring a long-neglected kitchen garden.
Christine Reid is an Australian garden writer whose wide interests include the social and cultural history of gardens and designed landscapes, both historic and contemporary. She contributes regularly to a wide range of Australian and international publications, including Gardens Illustrated in the UK. Christine has been a contributor to books including The Gardener's Garden (Phaidon, 2014) and The Oxford Companion to Australian Gardens (Oxford University Press, 2002) and researched and wrote all the Australian entries for the revised edition of The Oxford Companion to Gardens (Oxford University Press, 2006).

Make a Pet Bowl Holder Out of a Pallet
Let's face it, dogs just aren't tidy eaters. (Well, most aren't, anyway.) During their happy eating bonanza, water is splashed and drooled onto the floor, bowls are scattered, and paws help spread the mess once the meal is done. Towels and mops are usually involved afterward. Chris Peterson shares a pet bowl holder project in ...

Bayern Munich crowned Bundesliga champion
By Peter McVitie
The Bavarian giant won its fourth consecutive Bundesliga title with a win over Ingolstadt on Saturday and the club is targeting another domestic double.
Bayern Munich has been crowned Bundesliga champion again after it beat Ingolstadt 2-1 on Saturday.
Two goals from Robert Lewandowski gave Bayern three points over the hosts, ensuring die Roten earned a 25th league crown - their fourth in a row - at Audi Sportpark. Even if they had slipped, they would have claimed the title as Borussia Dortmund lost 1-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt.
The title triumph has been a long time coming, with Pep Guardiola's men sitting top of the German top-flight all season, but the confirmation of their victory has finally come with one game to spare.
A win over Borussia Monchengladbach would have seen Bayern crowned last week, but a 1-1 draw against Andre Schubert's men, combined with Borussia Dortmund's 5-1 result against Wolfsburg, postponed celebrations a week.
The Munich side has won 27 league games this season, losing just two, but it will still fall short of matching the Bundesliga points record it set in 2012-13 season, even if it wins its final game against Hannover.
Guardiola has now won three consecutive league titles during his time at Bayern and can complete the domestic double this season, with his side set to face Bundesliga runner-up Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal final.
