Figure: Sleep and learning timeline. Sleep blocks are marked in blue. Learning blocks in red. Total learning time on individual days is displayed on the right. The currently selected sleep block turns yellow. Its length is displayed at the bottom. A sleep block whose color bleeds from blue into pink denotes interrupted sleep (e.g. with an alarm clock). A sleep block with the color changing from black to blue marks a delayed sleep episode (e.g. caused by watching a late tennis match).
Figure: Sleep and learning timeline in the Dense view used to visualize long-term trends.
The timeline of sleep must be logged manually. There is only one sleep timeline in SuperMemo (unlike repetition timelines that are separate for individual collections). If you move SuperMemo between computers, remember to move your sleep timeline as well. The timeline is stored in the [SLEEP] subfolder of the SuperMemo folder as sleep.tim (e.g. d:\sm17\sleep\sleep.tim). This file's name and location cannot be customized. This file is compatible with SleepChart and can be opened and edited in that application independent of SuperMemo.
To log a block of sleep, click the beginning of the block (sleep start) and then click the end of the block (sleep end). You can also start from clicking the end of sleep first. Sleep blocks above 22 hours are disallowed. Sleep blocks cannot overlap with repetitions timeline (you cannot learn with SuperMemo and be asleep at the same time). If you have already collected your sleep data in SleepChart, you can import this data with File : Import : SleepChart file. You can also import data from a spreadsheet in the CSV format. If you import files from SleepChart, you can test for sleep and learning overlaps with File : Verify : Block overlaps. Protection from block overlaps is an important advantage of using SuperMemo over SleepChart, in which it was very easy to fall out of phase in logging data (e.g. by failing to fill out a single day and noticing that only a month later). You can mark blocks of forcefully delayed sleep, as well as mark blocks cut short with an alarm clock or other factors. Please note that you can get best analytical results if you do not artificially regulate sleep (e.g. with an alarm clock, sleeping pills, etc.). Applied models will not fully account for artificial intervention. Last but not least, natural sleep is what you should aim for in learning as well as for the sake of maximum health and well-being. Natural free-running sleep will maximize your fun in life!
Currently you can use 11 analytical graphs in Sleep Chart. This set is likely to grow in future releases of SuperMemo as more gets to be known about information that can be extracted from correlations found in sleep&learning data. If you deem the presented analytical power as insufficient today, it should not stop you from collecting sleep data. Start today! Every data point can contribute to valuable conclusions in the future.
It is impossible to provide a sure&simple way of interpreting the following graphs. Only rough guidelines are provided. For more detailed interpretation, send your data to sleep2016(AT)supermemo(DOT)org. Your data will be used to improve future analytics. If possible, you will also receive personal help in interpreting your results.
Figure: Sleep and repetitions timeline displaying repetitions blocks of the current collection (in red) and sleep blocks (in blue) with recomputed circadian approximations on the current data. Blue and red continuous lines are predictions of optimum sleep time using the SleepChart model (based on sleep statistics). Yellow continuous line shows the prediction of the maximum of circadian sleepiness (circadian middle-of-the-night peak) using a phase response curve model. Note that, theoretically, the yellow line should roughly fall into the middle between blue and red lines. However, when a disruption of the sleep pattern is severe, those lines might diverge testifying to the fact that it is very hard to build models that fully match the chaotic behavior of the sleep control system subjected to a major perturbation. Aqua dots point to the predicted daytime dip in alertness (i.e. the time when a nap might be most productive).
The circadian graph in SleepChart can help you better understand your sleep patterns, as well as to visualize the degree of cycle instability (i.e. how difficult it is for your sleep-wake cycle to fit into 24 hours). You will need a few months of data before the graph becomes meaningful. In addition, subjective night approximation lines in the sleep log are subject to substantial hysteresis. If your lifestyle changes dramatically (e.g. as a result of a therapy), you may need a few weeks for the approximation lines to align properly with data. The circadian graph may then be more difficult to interpret. In such cases, you can use From the first day and To the last day options to demarcate the period of interest. This will limit the analysis to a selected period characterized by a selected lifestyle.
Figure: Circadian and homeostatic sleepiness. Circadian graph plotting your favorite sleep times as counted from natural awakening (blue homeostatic line), as well as the resulting average sleep length produced by various retirement hours (red circadian line). The slanting green line separates the graph into the areas of phase advanced (right) and phase delays (left). The line is determined by points in the graph where the waking time (horizontal axis) added to the sleep time (left vertical axis) equals to 24.0 hours. The place where the green breakeven line crosses the red sleep length line determines the optimum balanced sleep cycle of 24 hours. The greater the angle between the green and red lines, the harder it is to balance sleep and fit it into the 24h cycle of the rotating earth. In the presented example, the longest sleep occurs after a 17-hour day, the best adjusted cycle happens after a 19-hour day, while the usual waking day lasts around 20 hours.
Blue line shows the preferred time to fall asleep. It corresponds with sleep propensity derived from the number of sleep blocks falling into a given hour of the waking day, where zero on the horizontal axis refers to the hour of waking up. Percentage of sleep episodes initiated at any given time is displayed on the right vertical axis. The blue line roughly expresses your "tiredness of wakefulness". It also expresses your ability to fall asleep. Your own optimum bedtime hour is your personal characteristic as it differs between people. For most people the optimum bedtime falls into the range of 16-20 hours from waking. In the example, the most favored bed time occurs in the 18th hour of waking.
Red line shows the average length of sleep. This line is a rough reflection of the ability to maintain sleep, i.e. the longest sleep episodes occur during the subjective night. The average length of sleep is displayed on the left vertical axis. The graph will tell you that even if you are able to initiate sleep during the day, it will never last long. In most cases of regular sleepers, only after 11-14 hours of waking does the length of initiated sleep start increasing. Note that the sleep length graph is slightly phase shifted in reference to the preferred sleep initiation time due to the fact that long sleep is mostly achieved by initiating sleep early.
If you are trying to determine your optimum bedtime, find the evening peak in the blue curve and choose nearby points that produce sufficiently long sleep (red curve high enough). In addition, pay attention to the fact that your wake and sleep time should add up to 24 hours, otherwise you will experience phase shifts.
Some people take naps during the day. Others don't. In nappers, the blue curve should also point to the maximum mid-day alertness dip. Short nap time may actually be a sign of good nap timing as long as the nap is not taken too early in reference to the blue curve. Non-nappers will also experience a peak of sleepiness around the 7th hour even though their blue curve will not show as a prominent bulge.
If the graph shows that your optimum nap time falls into the 8th hour, and you wake up at 6 am, you should take a break at around 14:00 (2 pm) and look for a secluded place for a few minutes of rest. You could also plan your lunch at around 13:00-13:30 to complete a perfect setting for a siesta.
If you learn "on demand" (as opposed to planned learning in a specific time of day), you can see the circadian plot of your learning analogous to the SleepChart plot. This shows you when you like to learn and for how long.
Figure: Learning circadian cycle. The exemplary picture proves that morning is the best time to learn with a "second (circadian) wind" in the evening (blue line). The morning learning time is short and sharp with longer individual learning blocks, while the evening time spans over a longer period but shows gradually decreasing drop in the "power to learn" (2h average in the morning, 1h average in the 12th hour, down to 5-10 min. at the end of the day)(red line). The rapid increase in the length of blocks after 21sth hour (red line) represents the days of "early rising with extra learning power". Even though those early learning blocks are long, they do not occur often (as indicated by low blue line, which represent "frequency of learning" at that particular time).
Figure: Blue line shows the bedtime (vertical axis) for days with a given waking hour (horizontal axis). Red line shows the next day's waking hours (which are shifted by 1-2 hours in DSPS). Fuchsia and gray lines indicate the siesta period. Even though the red waking line begins at the origin of the graph, it shows a substantial phase shift at later hours (DSPS). From the presented exemplary graph one can read that for the waking time equal to 7 am (horizontal axis), the expected time to go to bed, as indicated by the blue line, is 1 am (vertical axis), while optimum siesta time occurs between 15:00 and 16:00. However, if the wake time is 11 am, the bedtime is likely to come only at 5 am the next day.
Remember! Each individual will have a his or her own unique graph. Moreover, the graph will look differently if it is taken at times of work or at times of summer vacation. It will be affected by stresses at work and at home. It may even change when you move from one house to another, or when you change the climate zone. The graph will accurately reflect your rhythm only if you adhere to free running sleep. If you use an alarm clock, this graph will be meaningless!
the average grade in learning with SuperMemo which corresponds with memory recall.
Both expressions of alertness are closely correlated. SuperMemo measures alertness as well as attempts to predict changes in alertness in two different time frames intended to separate the homeostatic and circadian components of sleep propensity. Both approaches require a sleep log for the measurements and for the predictions to be possible. To demonstrate the homeostatic changes to alertness, SuperMemo measures the learning performance since the last sleep episode. To demonstrate the circadian changes to alertness, SuperMemo measures the learning performance in reference to the circadian time (i.e. time measured since the optimum natural waking hour) in periods that may or may not include intervening sleep episodes. As it can be seen in the enclosed pictures, it is not possible to fully deconvolve the impact of homeostatic and circadian sleep propensity on learning. Homeostatic graphs will always include a small circadian bump related to post-siesta learning, while circadian graphs will be affected by sleep habits that are closely correlated with the circadian cycle, esp. in free running sleep.
If you have already collected your sleep data with SleepChart, you can see your wake-recall correlations with the newest SuperMemo. Note that only repetitions executed with SuperMemo 13.0 (2006) or later will be included in the graphs as earlier SuperMemos did not store precise time of repetitions in repetition history.
In Alertness (H), the minimum length of a sleep episode in consideration is determined by Min. sleep block (h) box (0.2 hours, or 12 min. is the default minimum). Shorter sleep blocks are disregarded in plotting this graph. Homeostatic alertness half-life (in hours) tells you when your learning capacity drops by half after waking. You can modify this parameter to look for a better curve fit in your case (the Model button must be depressed). See Deviation to evaluate the fit. This half-life can differ between individuals. Notably, it is very short in narcoleptics, and very long in natural non-nappers.
This graph lets you know how much time you need to compensate with naps if your night time gets shortened.
Figure: Optimum nap duration. When the correlation between the duration of nighttime core sleep and the total duration of naps is investigated, a rather non-linear relationship emerges. In the presented example, a negatively exponential function provides far better fit to data than a linear function. However, in the most studied range corresponding with the nighttime sleep ranging from 4 to 8 hours, a nearly linear relationship can be observed where each hour of lost night sleep requires 20 min. of replacement nap time. This shows than napping has a powerful compensatory power.
This tab is included in SuperMemo for research purposes only. Using circadian phase misalignment in nighttime sleep blocks, SleepChart attempts to make heuristic guesses on the possible sleep architecture, incl. the proportion of REM sleep achieved. This can then be correlated with the quality of learning on the following day. SuperMemo REM heuristic has not been properly validated. If you use different REM measurement methods (e.g. based on nighttime mobility), you may obtain different results. In particular, polysomnographic measurements are the best way to get data on the proportion of REM in night sleep.
NREM-REM sleep cycles take roughly 90 min. A popular myth says that the length of a healthy night-time sleep episode will therefore always be a multiple of 90 min. Another myth says that it is ok to interrupt sleep after a multiple of 90 min. A variant of both myths says that sleep is supposed to last a multiple of a period that is specific to a given individual.
SleepChart displays the distribution of the length of all sleep episodes. That distribution can be used to invalidate the claim that sleep blocks cluster in multiples of 90 min.
Figure: Sleep block length distribution in a monophasic sleeper. In the presented example, the graph indeed shows clusters at: 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 hours. However, upon closer scrutiny, this clustering comes only from inaccurate logging by the subject (it is easier to mark 3.0 hour block than 2.95 hour block). There is no 90 min. trend discernible, however, one might be tempted to notice a multiple of 60 minutes.
Figure: Sleep block length distribution in a biphasic sleeper. This graph uses a semi-log scale, which is better for visualizing short sleep blocks of a habitual napper. In this case, a biphasic sleeper shows only one significant cluster at 7 hours of sleep. This cluster was again caused by imprecise logging.
Figure: Sleep block length distribution in a regular 7-hours-per-night monophasic sleeper. There are a few peaks discernible, however, no regular sleep length multiple. In particular, no peaks around the expected 5.5 and 8.5 hours.
This graph helps you detect the frequencies that underlie your sleep cycles (circadian cycles and ultradian cycles).
This graph lets you see the correlation between the amount of learning and your sleep needs (the correlation may surprise you as it often happens that on a good day you learn more while you sleep less).
The decline in the ability to consolidate memories during the waking day follows a curve that mirrors the decline in the ability to recall things from memory! As the day goes on, the ability to store facts in memory declines. Short naps seem to restore the memory consolidation power to baseline. As much as recall, consolidation seems to be inversely correlated with the homeostatic drive to sleep.
The conclusion is that in free running sleep (i.e. primarily in the absence of an alarm clock), we can get best learning results if we learn early in the morning. The same holds for exams. The recall and exam results will be best if the exam is held in the morning even though some time for pre-exam cramming may skew the outcome.
The fact that both recall and consolidation curves seem to follow a very similar course during a waking day seems to indicate that they both may depend on the same underlying mechanism. This conclusion is amplified by the fact that recall is a passive process, while consolidation is an active process of forming new or reconsolidating old memories. We can hypothesize that the underlying mechanism is therefore not molecular. The decline in recall and consolidation might simply be caused by a decline in operational efficiency of the neural networks involved in learning. That efficiency, expressed as alertness (see: Alertness in SuperMemo), depends on both homeostatic and circadian components of the sleep drive. The homeostatic component determines an overall decline in network efficiency over the course of a waking day, while the circadian component allows of a small bump in the second half of the waking day, presumably due to a neurohormonal impact of the circadian cycle on the overall function of the central nervous system.
The correlation between recall and consolidation can also be seen in abstraction from the circadian time. If the overall recall and consolidation data are taken from individual days of learning process, they correlate pretty well too.
In SuperMemo, you can see that learning days that are good for recall are also good for memory consolidation. Recall is expressed as a fraction of correct answers on a given day. Consolidation is expressed as a fraction of correct answers on the day of the next repetition that follows the one on the day for which the consolidation is measured.
We can conclude that good learning days are equally good for recall as they are for consolidation. A more general conclusion is that successful recall is essential for consolidation of memories.
Figure: Exemplary graph showing how good memory recall improves memory consolidation. The relationship between recall and consolidation is nearly linear. The graph was plotted using over 800,000 repetitions in SuperMemo, with 538,000 of these contributing their data to the consolidation estimates. Recall levels with fewer than 3000 data points have been omitted from the graph. The Deviation parameter says how well the linear fit matches the data (the less the deviation, the better the fit). The deviation is computed as a square root of the average of squared differences between the approximation and the data.
Figure: Exemplary graph showing the average recall for days producing a given level of memory consolidation. The relationship between consolidation and recall is nearly linear. The graph was plotted using over 800,000 repetitions in SuperMemo. Consolidation levels with fewer than 3,000 data points have been omitted from the graph. Lowered recall for consolidation of 100% comes from the fact that this consolidation level is overrepresented by small sample days where lucky perfect recall in just a few items may result in perfect consolidation reading without actually saying anything about the recall on the day the consolidating repetition took place. Sufficiently large number of such cases will let consolidation category of 100% pass the 3,000 data points outlier limit set for this graph, and result in a recall level that is much closer to the average level.
SuperMemo uses a two-component sleep model inspired by the publications of Alexander A. Borbély and Peter Achermann. Unlike other models, SuperMemo uses user's sleep data to predict the homeostatic and circadian status of overall sleep propensity. This model is helpful in choosing the optimum time for learning on a given day (given a particular history of sleep). It can also help planning the optimum bedtime in cases where the sleep pattern is highly irregular. The model does not predicate on the timing and duration of NREM and REM sleep episodes.
The model is tuned to fit typical SleepChart data logs. However, there are individual genetic differences that affect the length of the circadian cycle, steepness of the homeostatic decline in alertness, sleep length preferences, sleep architecture, spectral properties of sleep, fragmentation of sleep, etc. This model is limited in accounting for these variables. If you are sleepy against the simulations based on the model, you can probably trust your own instincts better. If you feel alert against the simulations based on the model, you can certainly get down to learning and ignore predictions of the model. Moreover, sleep patterns are a good measure of your sleep control systems only if they are not artificially disturbed (e.g. by forcefully delaying sleep, using alarm clock, using medication, etc.). In other words, if you are not free running your sleep, the presented model may fail to map your circadian rhythms correctly. You can mark blocks as artificially shortened or delayed (Forced awakening and Delayed retirement on the context menu available with a right-click). However, marked blocks will have a limited effect as there is no way of knowing the degree of the cut into the sleeping patterns, and, consequently, knowing the resulting perturbation in the sleep control system produced by artificially modified sleep.
In Borbély model, the timing of sleep is determined by the points in which the curves representing the homeostatic and circadian processes cross. SuperMemo uses a simpler, but more intuitive approach, in which both components of sleepiness are integrated into an overall alertness level (red line in the graph). The advantage of that approach is the possibility of instant feedback from an actual learning process, where the level of memory recall is supposed to correlate directly with the level of alertness determined by the model. The formula for integrating the two components of sleep into overall alertness was chosen heuristically with the help of alertness data gathered in SuperMemo. The purpose of the integration was to achieve the best possible match of the predicted alertness in the model with the average recall level in SuperMemo. As it has been shown earlier, both homeostatic sleepiness and circadian sleepiness affect the grades in SuperMemo, however, only a combined effect of both components provides a good match with the changes of recall for different combinations of homeostatic and circadian sleepiness. In the model used in SuperMemo, sleep is initiated when the overall alertness drops below a certain level. Sleep may thus be initiated by both components of sleepiness independently, but the timing and duration of sleep will differ for various combinations of changes in the homeostatic and circadian sleep propensity. Despite using a different approach to determining the sleep onset, predictions of the model fit the actual sleep log data pretty well in free running condition in cases studied.
To see the predictions of the model for your own sleep data for any given day, make sure you have your sleep log filled out for recent days in SleepChart, and shift-click the day in question in the sleep log.
Figure: Two-component sleep model in SuperMemo: The horizontal axis represents time. Blue blocks show the actual sleep episodes. Aqua line shows the 24h circadian sleep drive with a mid-day siesta hump. Green line is an inverse of the homeostatic sleep drive and can be interpreted as homeostatic alertness, which declines exponentially during wakefulness and is quickly restored by slow-wave sleep (for simplicity, as in Borbely model, the entire sleep block is assumed to have a contribution proportional to its length, as the SleepChart model does not account for sleep stages). Yellow vertical lines show the prediction of the circadian acrophase (circadian middle-of-the-night peak). Acrophase computations are done with the help of a phase response curve model (as opposed to a statistical model used in earlier versions of SleepChart). Red line shows the resultant alertness (peaks are best for learning, valleys are best for sleep). For example, Alertness on Oct 1, 2008 at 7:43 was predicted to be at 59% of the maximum but would keep increasing fast in the first 2 hours of wakefulness (a typical symptom of a night sleep that is terminated too early). The picture shows two peaks in alertness on Oct 1, 2008, at 9 am and at 7 pm. Those periods would likely be best suited for learning on that day.
To see a more accurate presentation of your own homeostatic and circadian alertness in SuperMemo, see the Alertness tab in SleepChart.
Hello, should log the time from when you get into bed or try to estimate the time at which you actually fall asleep? I sometimes take up two hours to truly fall asleep even if I am tired. And if I spent an hour on my bed in a kind of light sleep but conscious (or meditating), should I log that in? Or should I just try to truly sleep when I am in my bed?

Q: How can the logging of all child processes in Perl's fork be controlled? I want to control the logging of all child processes in the file.
Code Snippet (file1.pl):
my @sitesForScr = ("abc_10","def_5","ghi_16");
foreach my $siteToRunOn (@sitesRun) {
     my $jkpid;
     if ($jkpid = fork()) {
         $SIG{CHLD} = 'DEFAULT';
     }
     elsif (defined ($jkpid)) {
         &linkFunc ("$siteToRunOn");
         exit 0;
     }
 }

sub linkFunc {
    print "$_[0]\n";
    my @ert=split("_",$_[0]);
    print "Waiting on $_[0] for $ert[1] sec\n";
    sleep $ert[1];
    print "Done for $_[0]\n";
}

What I want is that first, the logging of the first child process completes, then the logging of the second child process starts and when it completes, then the logging of the next child process starts, and so on.
As per the above code, output inside file (fileoutput.txt) on running "perl file1.pl >> /pan/sedrt/fileoutput.txt" is:
abc_10
Waiting on abc_10 for 10 sec
def_5
Waiting on def_5 for 5 sec
ghi_16
Waiting on ghi_16 for 16 sec
Done for def_5
Done for abc_10
Done for ghi_16

Expected Output on running command "perl file1.pl >> /pan/sedrt/fileoutput.txt":
abc_10
Waiting on abc_10 for 10 sec
Done for abc_10
def_5
Waiting on def_5 for 5 sec
Done for abc_10
ghi_16
Waiting on ghi_16 for 16 sec
Done for ghi_16

How can this be done?
Thanks!

A: If by "logging" you mean that they all print to console like in the given example, then you can't really have them decoupled† since they all compete for a single resource (fd 1).
What you can do though, is to have each child assemble its log as it goes and in the end they all communicate them to the parent. Thus the integrity of those logs is preserved and the parent can then sort it out as needed.
Each process can write its log to a file, with a pre-determined name that the parent knows, or can pipe the name to the parent (if there is more to communicate anyway).
Or, each can redirect its STDOUT to an in-memory variable, which it can then send over a pipe to the parent at the end.
So some communication management will be involved. Or, that can be done using a library -- for example, Parallel::ForkManager provides for easy communication from children back to the parent. And it makes the whole process easier as well.

† Without communication between them that is, which would be extremely messy.

A: *

*You want the work to be performed simultaneously.

*You want the output to appear grouped.

Yet, the processes are printing before doing the work (sleeping) and after. So the first thing that needs to be changed is that all of a process's output needs to be delayed until no more output will be produced by that process.
Whether you store the output in a memory, store it in a file, or pipe it back to the parent is up to you. Example of the first:
sub linkFunc {
    my $out = "$_[0]\n";
    my @ert=split("_",$_[0]);
    $out .= "Waiting on $_[0] for $ert[1] sec\n";
    sleep $ert[1];
    $out .= "Done for $_[0]\n";
    print $out;
}

That's not quite enough, though. You need to ensure that the print is  not interrupted by the other processes. You will need to a mutex.
my $lock = acquire_lock();  # To be provided.

print $out;
select()->flush();

release_lock( $lock );      # To be provided.

Pekin Police Department awarded K-9 grant for third straight year
By Mike KramerTimes Correspondent
For the third consecutive year, the Pekin Police Department has won a K-9 grant from the Aurora-based crime scene cleanup and biohazard remediation company Aftermath Services.
Aftermath Services distributed $20,000 in grants this year across 14 police departments nationwide to showcase, support and reward the unique contributions made by law enforcement and their K-9 units. Grant winners are determined by online votes. In the 2018 Aftermath K-9 Grant Contest, the Pekin
Police Department garnered the fourth-most votes of any law enforcement agency in the country.
"Being a police officer myself for 15 years, it is an absolute honor to give police departments money for their K-9 programs," said Patrick Leone, senior manager of law enforcement relations for Aftermath.
Leone presented a check for $2,000 during a brief ceremony Tuesday. Pekin Police Sgt. Rob Jones accepted the fourth-place award on behalf of the department.
"The grant is quite instrumental toward our K-9 program," said Jones. "It helps us ensure we have funding to find illegal drugs or people who have run from the police and are hiding. It helps keep officers and citizens safe. The biggest thing is that it's wonderful to have a partnership with Aftermath Services. They're always top-notch when they come down to help with anything and their fundraising efforts really help our K-9 program continue to flourish."
The first-place winner of the 2018 grant contest was the Larksville Borough (Pennsylvania) Police Department, which received a $5,000 award. The Tucson (Ariz.) Police Department won a second-place prize of $4,000, and the Clinton (Conn.) Police Department placed third to earn a $3,000 grant.

Colts Lineman David Parry Arrested After Allegedly Hitting Golf Cart Taxi Driver And Stealing His Ride
Filed to:Police Blotter
Photo: Al Bello/Getty
David Parry has enjoyed a decent NFL career for the Colts, starting in all 32 games of his first two seasons and notching four sacks from the nose tackle position. Parry also allegedly enjoyed a drunken golf cart joyride before getting popped for a DUI, per the owner of said golf cart.
This evening, Scottsdale Police (AZ) confirmed to the Indianapolis Star that Parry had been arrested and charged with driving under the influence, suspicion of robbery, auto theft, criminal damage, and resisting arrest. The Star cites a police report filed by the owner of a golf cart taxi, who supposedly says that he picked up Parry from a bar. It all went to shit when he asked for money.
The victim told officers he had picked up three people from a downtown bar in his "transportation cart" — a street-legal golf cart police say was used as a taxi — and had dropped two of them off. When he got out of the cart to collect payment, the victim told police the third person, later identified as Parry, hit him on the head and left the scene in the cart.
Parry then crashed the cart into a gate, and police showed up and arrested him after they noticed that he showed signs of being drunk.
We've reached out to the Colts for comment and we'll update this post if they respond.

Beijing authorities begin mass testing as COVID-19 spikes
In response to a spike in COVID-19 cases in the Chinese capital Beijing, the city has started mass testing for its millions of residents. In Beijing's Chaoyang district, 26 cases have been reported over the weekend, the highest number so far in this recent outbreak. It is believed that the number of cases is vastly underreported according to social media reports.
In spite of assurances from the government that there is sufficient food available, there were long lines outside of supermarkets and shops in the area. It comes as Beijing is concerned that it might face a similar situation to Shanghai. There, more than a quarter of a million people have been stuck inside their homes for weeks on end.
According to a notice released by the city's disease prevention team, the city's 3.5 million citizens in Chaoyang, Beijing's most populous ward, will undergo three rounds of mass testing. As a result of the news, residents rushed to the grocery store to stock up on essential supplies. Images circulated on local media depicting empty pantry shelves and snaking queues of people at the check out counters.
Beijing's fresh food companies have been ordered to increase their supplies of groceries such as meat, poultry eggs, and vegetables, as reported by state-owned news outlet The Global Times. The article also quoted health experts as saying that the results of the mass testing will indicate whether there is a need to escalate measures further, such as locking down several areas. In a statement released separately, Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of Beijing's Center for Disease Prevention and Control, told a state news outlet China Daily that the number of cases in Beijing could rise in the coming days.

Archaeological dig reveals participants in California's Gold Rush dined on salted Atlantic cod
Brendan M. Lynch
KU News Service
blynch@ku.edu
Follow @BrendanMLynch
LAWRENCE — It turns out San Francisco has been a destination for lovers of imported delicacies since its earliest Gold Rush days.
According to results published recently in the peer-reviewed Journal of Anthropological Research, an excavation at Thompson's Cove in San Francisco has shown "Atlantic cod were imported during the 1850s, likely as a (largely) deboned, dried and salted product from the East Coast of the United States." The results underscore the importance of global maritime trade in northern California during the Gold Rush.
Co-author Brittany Bingham, doctoral student in anthropology at the University of Kansas, performed genetic analysis on 18 cod bones recovered from Thompson's Cove to determine if they came from cod caught in the deep nearby waters of the Pacific or were shipped in packages by boat from Atlantic fisheries. Her results on five specimens for ancient DNA show Atlantic cod were imported during the debut of the Gold Rush.
Bingham said bones tend to be better preserved and more suitable for analysis than other materials left behind from the rapid surge in San Francisco's population. (In the first year of the Gold Rush, between 1848-49, the area's 800 residents quickly swelled to more than 20,000.)
"Bones preserve better than other things that don't last in the archaeological record as well," she said. "You won't get a quality DNA sample from every bone — some are burned, and soil and other factors can affect preservation, so we typically check for DNA and determine what we're looking at. But often people move bones elsewhere and maybe they're thrown in a different place than the rest of the bones, so you don't have the whole specimen to look at. That's where people like me come into play, and we'll take the one tiny piece of bone that might have been found and figure out what it actually came from."
The results of Bingham's analysis were among the first archaeological results to confirm findings from historical newspapers and invoices: The early history of San Francisco included the importation of a wide range of fish and seafood to support the population boom.
The project came about when the Musto Building built in 1907 at Thompson's Cove — where the city was first settled — undertook a mandatory retrofitting to be more resilient to earthquakes, triggering a California compliance law requiring archaeological work in conjunction with construction at the site. Today, the building is home to a private social club.
Kale Bruner, who earned her doctorate in anthropology at KU, worked on the Thompson's Cove site as construction took place. Today, Bruner serves as a research associate at the Museum of the Aleutians.
"Compliance work is challenging in a lot of ways because you don't really get a lot of control over the excavations, and this case was kind of an extreme example of that — the fieldwork conditions were overwhelming — and I was the only archaeologist on site," Bruner said. "They were fortunately only excavating dirt in one location at a time, so I only had one piece of machinery to be watching, but we were hitting archaeologically significant material constantly. It was two years essentially of monitoring that kind of activity and documenting as rapidly as possible everything that was being uncovered."
Aside from evidence of Atlantic cod, the authors reported about 8,000 total specimens or fragments of animal bone, and a total number of artifacts collected that numbered nearly 70,000. The work will yield more academic papers on the historical significance of the site.
Lead author Cyler Conrad, adjunct assistant professor of anthropology at the University of New Mexico and archaeologist with Los Alamos National Laboratory, has published other findings from work at Thompson's Cove, including evidence of a California hide and tallow trade, eating of wild game, hunting of ducks and geese, and even importation of Galapagos tortoise.
He described the Gold Rush era as exciting and chaotic, a time that in some ways mirrored the supply chain problems plaguing the world in the COVID-19 era.
"During the Gold Rush, it took many months for vessels to arrive in San Francisco, so often when you needed things is not when they would arrive, and when things would arrive, they were often not needed anymore," Conrad said. "You find these descriptions of San Francisco as this kind of muddy mess, a kind of a tent city where there were shacks built upon shacks all the way up until the shoreline, just stacked with crates and boxes. Even at Thompson's Cove, I think Kale excavated several essentially intact crates of frying pans and shovel heads. You can imagine shiploads of shovels might arrive, but maybe everyone had a shovel already or maybe it was winter, and no one was in the gold fields and you have all this material that accumulates right along the shoreline — but that was convenient for our work."
Conrad said the work to determine the Atlantic origins of cod bones found at the site was a significant contribution to understanding maritime trade of the era, when Atlantic cod was either shipped by boat all the way around Cape Horn — or shipped to Panama, then hauled across the isthmus, before being shipped up to the Northern California gold fields.
"We have this really fascinating aggregation of material, and it's remarkable we only found 18 bones we can identify to the genus of cod from the Atlantic," he said. "Brittany's DNA work was critical for this because it's difficult to distinguish between bones of Atlantic versus Pacific cods — their bone morphology is virtually the same. We've been able to tie the DNA from Brittany's work with some slight differences in the very far tail vertebrae. If you think how cod were prepped and salted, they removed almost all bones, except for the very last few bones. Perhaps this was rapidly prepared and exported cod from the East Coast, because of this rush to the gold fields and demand for food. Perhaps they were just kind of shipping out whatever they could. There are some interesting details in the cod bones, and we would never have been able to answer these questions without DNA — and it really supports this identification that, yes, these are Atlantic cod — and that opens up a whole new window into this human experience."

A five-piece jam and alternative rock outfit hailing from Nashville, Moon Taxi quickly built a local following, which soon led to a record deal with 12th South Records. Members Trevor Terndrup (vocals), Spencer Thomson (guitar), Tommy Putnam (bass), Wes Bailey (keyboards), and Tyler Ritter (drums) released their debut album, Melodica, in 2007. Their next step, logically, was to keep their audiences happy and promote their album the old-fashioned way: with many, many gigs. A concert album titled Live Ride followed in 2008, and their second proper album, Cabaret, appeared in 2012. Moon Taxi signed to BMG for distribution of their 2013 LP Mountains Beaches Cities. The album led to their songs being licensed for TV and commercials, their first appearances on U.S. late-night TV including Late Show with David Letterman, and performances at music festivals such as Bonnaroo, the Governor's Ball, and Lollapalooza. Their fourth studio LP, Daybreaker, was released in October 2015, followed in 2016 by another live album, New Year's Eve 2015. A single in early 2017, "Two High," showcased a brighter, pop-oriented sound. Later that year, another single, "Let the Record Play," arrived along with the announcement of Moon Taxi's impending fifth LP — also called Let the Record Play — which was released in January 2018. ~ Chris True & Marcy Donelson

Editorial: The NFL and NBA aren't doing enough for racial equality
Editorial Staff and Soleil Dam|March 8, 2022
Mike Ehrmann
Damian Lillard, a point guard for the Portland Trailblazers, chose to wear "How Many More" while playing in the NBA Bubble.
Colin Kaepernick kneeled in solidarity with police brutality victims. Soon after, he lost his job as an NFL quarterback.
As Black Lives Matter became a national movement in June 2020, the NFL apologized to Kaepernick and launched a campaign for social justice. The NBA did the same.
And while the NBA's and NFL's newfound activism reached a broad audience and affected many, the motivations behind it seem performative.
Following the killing of George Floyd, both the NBA and the NFL released statements condemning police brutality. These statements included that they're "committed to continuing the important work to address these systematic issues" and plan to use their "platform[s] to affect change."
In July 2020, as the NBA resumed games after a pause due to COVID-19, the NBA allowed players to wear a social justice message in place of their last name on the back of their jersey. While it might seem like the NBA was giving players a way to advocate for social justice, the exercise was very controlled.
I felt like with [Trayvon Martin's] name on the back of a jersey […] would remind people of lives that are cut short. We will never know what those lives could have become."
— Tyson Chandler, a former center for the Houston Rockets
Players were only allowed to solely display the message for the first four days in the NBA Bubble. After the four days, players who chose to wear a phrase had to wear the chosen phrase along with their last name. The NBA also failed to consult their players in creating only 29 messages, leaving many to opt-out of the exercise.
"I don't need to have something on the back of my jersey for people to understand my mission, [but] I would have loved to have a say on what would have went on the back of the jersey," said Lebron James, a Lakers forward, in a press conference. "I wasn't part of that process."
Similarly, for the 2021-2022 season, the NFL allowed players to pick from a list of social justice messages to wear on the back of their helmets. Yet again, athletes' use of their platform proved to be very restricted in that they only have six social justice messages to choose from, and players weren't consulted in the message-choosing procedure.
Comparing NBA vs. NFL by Soleil Dam
This is one of many ways that the NFL fails to represent its players.
According to NBC News, around 71% of NFL players are people of color, but there are only three head coaches of color. Out of the 62 head coaching hires from the past nine years, 51 jobs were given to white men.
In 2003, the Rooney Rule was created and implemented to give coaches of color more opportunity for NFL leadership positions.
The Rooney Rule requires NFL teams to interview at least one diverse candidate for all head coaching and senior operations vacancies. In October 2021, the NFL made changes to the rule, and now teams have to interview at least two external minority candidates for said jobs.
It may seem like a step in the right direction, but NFL teams struggle to honor the merit of the Rooney Rule.
After being fired from his job as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Brian Flores was left to find a new position. Flores was still unemployed after many head coaching interviews, despite analysts seeing him as the most qualified candidate for the New York Giants head coaching vacancy.
Flores went on to file a federal lawsuit against the NFL and three of its teams for alleged racial discrimination.
"Management is not doing the interviews in good faith, and it, therefore, creates a stigma that interviews of Black candidates are only being done to comply with the Rooney Rule rather than in recognition of the talents that the Black candidates possess," Flores said.
Today, the only black NFL head coach is Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who recently hired Flores as their senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach while he continues with the lawsuit.
In contrast, the NBA currently has 16 out of 30 teams with a head coach of color. In this past off-season, out of the NBA's eight head coaching vacancies, seven were filled by black coaches.
The NBA has made strides in changing its leadership to better reflect their 82.7% player of color population. However, the NBA still struggles to allow players full use of their platform on the court.
Both the NBA and NFL need to take steps to increase diversity within their organizations and expand from simple performative activism. Matching the diversity of a teams' players with its leadership and giving players complete freedom over how they use their platform on the field will solidify the NBA's and NFL's commitment to the movement towards racial equality.

The story behind the Azusa Street revival, the most phenomenal event of twentieth-century Christianity.
In the early morning of April 18, 1906, San Francisco residents were rudely awakened by the deadliest earthquake in North American history. A devastating fire, fed by ruptured gas lines, finished off what the earthquake, later estimated as 8.3 on the Richter scale, failed to destroy in its first deadly seconds. Some 700 people lay dead among the decimated 514 city blocks.
Angry men and women blamed God and the unstable earth sitting atop the unpredictable San Andreas Fault. A gospel tract, rushed to the printer and widely circulated in the area, called the tragedy a judgment and a warning from the God some were cursing.
That same morning, 400 miles south, the world took notice of another movement—one with aftershocks still spreading today. In a skeptical front-page story titled "Weird Babel of Tongues," a Los Angeles Times reporter attempted to describe what would soon be known as the Azusa Street Revival.
"Breathing strange utterances and mouthing a creed which it would seem no sane mortal could understand," the story began, "the newest religious sect has started in Los Angeles."
The "newest religious sect" had, in fact, been around for a few years. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Midwestern Methodists and other Christians associated with the Holiness movement had become obsessed with divine healing and the possibility of speaking in tongues—doctrines and practices that dispensationalists argued had ended with the apostolic age. One of these Holiness Christians was an 18-year-old Kansas collegian named Charles Fox Parham.

Last year August (or so), my gmail account was hacked. The hacker sends spam every week (since then) to all my email contacts. I changed my password. Then I signed up to a password security manager, LastPass. I let it generate 16 character mix of alphabets, numbers and symbols passwords for my accounts. Changed the passwords of my email accounts, social media accounts and Microsoft account. And since then I hardly shut down my laptop. Why? My login password is too long and have to be accessed from LastPass on my phone to see and type into my computer.
And it is a big pain when I am in a hurry, then I tend to mistype the long password. So this week I decided to find a lasting solution -- permanently switch off the login prompt on my laptop and windows tablet.
Click on it. It will bring up a dialogue box. Uncheck the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
From now on you no longer get the login prompts when you boot up your computer. And for me that is a big time and mood saver!

Q: Riesz representation theorem for $\langle\mathcal A u,v\rangle$. Let $V$ be a Hilbert space, and let $V^*$ denote its dual space, consisting of all continuous linear functionals from $V$ into the field $\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb C$. If $x$ is an element of $V$, then the function $φ_x$, for all $y$ in $V$ defined by
$$\varphi_x(y) = \left\langle y , x \right\rangle,   $$
where $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle$ denotes the inner product of the Hilbert space, is an element of $V^*$. The Riesz representation theorem states that every element of $V^*$ can be written uniquely in this form.
Let us consider a linear and continuous operator on a Hilbert space $V$, $\mathcal A:V\rightarrow V$, such that:
$$\|\mathcal A u\|\leq M \|u\|, \ \ \forall u\in V, M>0$$
and now consider $\langle\mathcal A u,v\rangle, \ \ u,v\in V.$
Since:
$$\langle\mathcal A u,v\rangle\leq \|\mathcal A u\| \|v\|\leq M \|u\|\|v\|$$
Can we infer $\varphi_x(u)=\langle\mathcal A u,v\rangle$ continuous and linear?

A: The function $u\mapsto \varphi_x(u)=\langle\mathcal A u,v\rangle$ is obviously a linear form on V. Given that $\mathcal{A} $ is linear and $\langle\cdot,v\rangle$ is linear too.
 Moreover, applying the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality and the continuity of   $\mathcal{A} $ respectively, we obtain
$$|\varphi_x(u)|=|\langle\mathcal A u,v\rangle|\le  \|\mathcal A u\| \|v\|\le\|\mathcal A \|  \|u\|\|v\| = M \| u\| $$ with $M=\|\mathcal A \|\|v\|  .$ This show the continuity of $\varphi_x.$

Q: How to add a new sub directory to CakePHP installation I have CakePHP installed on the root of a website and want to add a new directory with other content. So it looks like this right now: www.cakephpsite.com and I also want www.cakephpsite.com/directory.
But when I create a new folder on the root the website doens't go to that folder I just created, instead it goes to the path app/View/WrongDirectory.
I never used CakePHP before so I'm sorry if this  is very basic and any help would be helpful.
My .htaccess file looks like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

A: So CakePHP is expecting the files to be in the app/webroot folder.  So the .htaccess file you are showing redirects EVERYTHING to app/webroot. That means you need to put your new directory in the app/webroot folder so it would be app/webroot/directory and it should work just fine.

Kuwait allows conversion of resident permit
Migrant WorkersFebruary 23, 2006
Dubai: Kuwait has announced that Indian expatriates and others can now take advantage of the provision that allows self-sponsored resident permits to be converted into work permits without special authorisation from the Interior Ministry.
A ministry official has said the relaxation is intended to mitigate the hardships faced by expatriates.
The decision comes close on the heels of the announcement banning transfer of visit visas into dependant visas in order to stop fraud, Kuwait Times has quoted ministry sources as saying.
Applicants for residence permits are required to submit valid certificates endorsed by the Health Ministry that they are free of infectious diseases. — UNI

Can't we use the above code in .net framework 2.0?
if there is any option for that and for webapplication please give me a solution.
You can use the above code in 2.0 but for interfacing, you will have to use traditional Windows Forms as WPF works only with .NET Framework 3.x.
And yes, it will also work with ASP.NET so you may use it easily in your web application.

For quite a while now I have been listening to KLOVE radio. It's a nationally syndicated radio station that plays Christian music and is fully supported by its listeners. It's a great station to listen to. I listen every morning on my hour plus drive to work. I listen at work on the web or my iPod and I listen to it on my way home.
They are very encouraging to listen to and really do help keep me and my thoughts centered on Christ and what we (Christians) are really supposed to be about…LOVE. One of the ways they do this is something they have started called, "Make a Difference Monday" and this has reminded me of my pastor in my youth who taught a series of sermons on what love is and it boils down to this. For love to be love it must be practical and observable. And this is what Make a Difference Monday is all about. This is a very simple and practical way to love someone.
My daily routine is waking up (Thank you Lord) getting ready for work and driving straight to Starbucks. As usual I am listening to KLOVE on this one particular Monday morning and of course they are encouraging their listeners to Make a Difference today in some small way in order to express the love of Christ because let's face it, the one simple little act of love that you do today may be the only way that person sees the love of Christ in their life. Sobering thought don't you think?
So I saunter in as usual, "Good morning Eric" I hear from behind the counter. "Good morning Michelle", I reply as I stop to read the front page of the New York Times. A few of the regulars are there already: Earl and Greg, two retired men that sit and flirt with all the young women that come and go and get into heated discussions about History that only they know about. The quiet Arthur Fonzerelli wanna-be with the pompadour hair, long sideburns and the black motorcycle boots, jeans and white tee shirt sitting in the corner. If only he realized he was closer to Earl and Greg's age, he wouldn't look so out of place.
I paid for the coffees, $2.00 each. He went over to talk to Greg and Earl. Told them what just happened and they made some comment about waiting outside until I come in tomorrow then laughed and nodded their heads in my direction and smiled. Six smiles. As I walked towards the door, I glanced over and caught The Fonz giving me a 'thumbs up' and a smile. Seven.
I sat in my car and thought how easy that was and how amazing that a simple $2.00 cup of coffee on an early Monday morning produced 8 smiles, the last being my own.
I want to encourage you to do the same. The same being, Make a Difference. It can be something as little and easy as a cup of coffee or whatever pops into your head or whatever God places in your spirit and nudges you to do, I encourage you to do it. The joy you receive from seeing another person blessed is better than winning the lottery or receiving a gift yourself. I promise. Nothing in life compares to living out the life Christ intended for you and I to live.
That was amazing, Eric. Would you be opposed to sending it to me in an attachment along with that photo of you and let me submit it to my editor in place of my regular column?


Norway is one of the Scandinavian countries. The country is located in Northern Europe – with borders to Sweden, Finland and Russia on the east side.
Norway is one of the best places to study. One of the captivating things about a study in Norway, is apparently its near to nothing tuition fee.
To study in one of the top Universities in Norway, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), read through for detailed information.
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), is a public research university with campuses in the cities of Trondheim, Gjøvik, and Ålesund in Norway, and has become the largest university in Norway, following the university merger in 2016. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is Norway's primary institution for educating the nation's future engineers and scientists. The university also has strong programmes in the social sciences, teacher education, the arts and humanities, medicine, architecture and fine art.
Being a state-owened university, students at state universities and university colleges do not pay tuition fees. This is true for all levels, including undergraduate studies, Masters programmes and Ph.D. programmesThis is true for all levels, including undergraduate studies, Masters programmes and Ph.D. programmes.
Are planning for a masters study in Norway?
NTNU offers more than 60 International Master's Programmes, as well as Joint Nordic Master's and Erasmus Mundus Master's. All programmes have a duration of two years and are taught in English.
Important notes: NTNU charges no tuition fees, however, international students are to pay what is called semester fee. to pay a semester fee of NOK 300-600 each semester. In order to take an exam this fee will have to be paid in full. But the fee also grants you membership in the local student welfare organisation, which in turn entitles you to several benefits. These benefits may include on campus health services, counselling, access to sports facilities and cultural activities.
International students are required to have a good command of English at an academic level and you may need to provide TOEFL/IELTS test scores. Please read NTNU's English requirements thoroughly to see if you are eligible to apply.
Students are expected to cover their own living expenses. Hence, all international students who are not citizens of EU/EEA/EFTA countries must be able to document that they have enough funding to live in Norway in order to be granted a student visa.

Enhanced academic performance using a novel classroom physical activity intervention to increase awareness, attention and self-control: Putting embodied cognition into practice
McClelland E., Pitt A., Stein J.
© The Author(s) 2014. When language is processed, brain activity occurs not only in the classic 'language areas' such as Broca's area, but also in areas which control movement. Our systems of understanding, including higher level cognition, are rooted in bodily awareness which needs to be developed as a precursor to intellectual reasoning. Cognition is embodied, and this concept may offer a radical new way of improving school education by improving children's systems of physical understanding. A new classroom physical intervention, called Move4words, based on embodied cognition, was developed for pupils aged 7–13 years and trialled with 348 typical pupils in 10 mainstream UK schools. Three pilot controlled trials showed significant improvements in academic performance, particularly for struggling pupils performing in the lowest 20 percent. Effect sizes were large for the lowest achievers: Hedges' g = 0.86 for national examinations at age 11 (KS2 SATs) and g = 1.24 for progress through National Curriculum Levels in reading, writing and maths. Performance gains were maintained for at least 1 year after the end of the intervention.

This looks great. Lots of new, young heroes in a new adventure. Marvel animated is not usually as good as DC animated but I will give this one a chance. Okay, I watched the trailer again and this looks worse with each viewing. Mabye it's the weak animation or maybe the 'lessons' I can see coming down the black for these young heroes.

Remarkably useful to say the least. It was a pleasing experience since i understood Danae was heading above and beyond to exhibit me every customizable choice. I was surprised by her degree of curiosity to help me find precisely what I needed. At no reason was there a hurry to obtain my end result. It was awesome to know she was less interested in making a large purchase and more concerned about helping me personally. A really incredible style consultant, I would suggest Danae every day.


Harrison's course took a timely look at one of the fastest-emerging areas of local business, said Tiney Ricciardi, craft beer journalist at The Dallas Morning News.
Harrison, a self-described craft beer enthusiast, got the idea for the course after reading research from colleagues at Stanford University on "resource partitioning theory" and craft beer: As big corporate brewers consolidated, it created space in the 1980s and beyond for small brewers to pop up and sell a wide variety of stouts, lagers and India pale ales.
The craft beer boom was slow to hit North Texas, but when it did, it hit hard. Five years ago, there were only five craft breweries in the area. Today, there are 60, and they employ "probably less than 1,000 workers," Harrison said. But, he added, if you include beer distributors, workers in craft beer bars — all the employees upstream and downstream, the industry accounts for thousands of local jobs.
"It's come a long way from home-brewing in the garage," he said.
The 20 students in Harrison's class didn't drink beer as part of the course. Instead, they dissected every aspect of the craft brewing business, from financing and production to cutting through the thicket of regulations you need to pass before you can sell a single pint of lager.
Speakers at the class included a representative from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, two reps of major beer distributors, and six local craft brewery owners. The owners included three UT Dallas graduates: Michael Peticolas, BA 1995, of Peticolas Brewing Company; Joel Malone, JSOM BS 2008, MBA 2011 and MS 2011, of Bishop Cider Company; and David Wedemeier, JSOM BS 2002 and MBA 2005, of Martin House Brewing Company.
Bergstrom was one of several students in the class who already were involved in local craft brewing or hoped to find a job in the industry. Others said they enrolled simply to learn more about the beer business.
Adapting to a quickly evolving landscape was a recurring topic in the course. Ricciardi talked about how big corporate brewers are now jumping on the craft beer bandwagon, which threatens smaller business. She also said the rapid increase of local craft breweries might create "a harsh reality" that could close some businesses and force brand-new breweries to scale back their launches.
Students who took the course were confronted with tough questions on how to approach such a fast-growing industry. Harrison said one conundrum is how to keep competition from ruining the cooperative nature of craft breweries in Texas.
The bigger question, he said, is whether the industry can keep growing without losing its integrity and its customers. Last year, after MillerCoors bought Granbury-based Revolver Brewing, Harrison said he heard several local craft beer drinkers vow they would never drink Revolver beer again.
"Craft breweries are supposed to be small and independent and use hand-crafted methods, as opposed to mass production. Once you get bought by MillerCoors, what does that do to your identity? What does that do to consumer perception of your authenticity?" Harrison said.
Like the industry it covered, Harrison's craft-brewing course, taught in the fall 2017 semester, was small and independent, offered as a Special Topics in Organizational Behavior (OB6V99) class. Scheduled to return next fall as a regular course, it will be assigned a new Organizational Behavior (OB) course number and will appear in the UT Dallas online catalog sometime this summer. If you are interested in enrolling, look for it there or contact Dr. Harrison.

This report on the baseline data from three countries (Mexico, Thailand and South Africa) provides information on the HIV-prevention needs of school-based youth. It focuses on select key variables including HIV knowledge, attidudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS, confidence in acquiring and using condoms, and reported sexual behaviour. This information and other data obtained from the studies has helped shape the school-based interventions by informing teachers about student needs. It can also be helpful to others planning HIV prevention programmes for youth in similar settings.

High-end audio and video fidelity are really all about fine-tuning products and the assembly of parts to attain optimal results. In these days of mass production and packaged goods, we overlook this simple truth. For convenience, manufacturers build some of these audio enhancements into the finished product. In reality, building audio enhancements into the packaged product is constrained by costs, new technology, and the law of dimishing returns. Thus the need to accessorize - to meet individual aspirations for performance and to change, enhance and heighten overall sound quality and video fidelity.

G-Eazy preps fans for his forthcoming album with "The Announcement"
The song comes paired with an album teaser visual.
Today, multi-platinum selling superstar G-Eazy has revealed the release date for his fourth studio album These Things Happen Too. The project is officially arriving on Sept 24, 2021, and paired with the news he has also released "The Announcement." The freshly released teaser visual sees G-Eazy smoothly making his way into the booth before he lets loose on some bars. "Welcome the the sequel," a voice says. Then, G takes over and addresses fans directly. "I know it's been a long, long time. Crazy people to crazy things. It's finally ready. I'll see you all on Sept 24."
The Bay Area's very own made his return with a brand new single "At Will" last month and he tapped in with rising star EST Gee for the assist. He also continued a 2014 favorite in his single "Running Wild" single featuring an assist from Kossisko and production by DAKARI.
Eazy has been relatively active in 2021, dishing out assists on tracks like "Astronaut In The Ocean (Remix)" with Masked Wolf and DDG, "10 Toes" alongside fellow Bay Area spitters ALLBLACK and E-40. He has also dropped off tracks like "A Little More" featuring Kiana Lede, "Break From LA," and "Provide" featuring Chris Brown and Mark Morrison. He will be hitting the music festival circuit this Fall, with performances at the Bottlerock, Bonnaroo, Summerfest, and Breakaway Festival among several others along the way.
The new album will also include the much-buzzed-about unreleased song titled "Breakdown" featuring Demi Lovato, which was teased last month in a trailer for the new Netflix series Titletown High. The track has already racked up thousands of pre-saves, as fans eagerly await new music off of G-Eazy's forthcoming album.
Be sure to press play on G-Eazy's brand new teaser visual for "The Announcement" down below, and you can also listen to the audio in full beneath that as well.

Facebook and Twitter are the big guns, the ones everyone knows. And we've included them on our list of course. But as we're finding more and more on Quib.ly, the Q&A community for parents, a vast number of apps from games to photo filter tools carry social elements. Here are 10 social apps your child could be using right now.
Kik is currently rated 17+ but it's well-known that younger teens are using the service regularly. The obvious draws to teens are that it's free, and can be used by friends across different devices and services. Although messages are private, parents should be aware of the trend of advertising Kik usernames on other social networks.
Snapchat is a mobile app for sharing images and videos among friends. The unique selling point however, is also its biggest talking point. Once an image has been viewed by the recipient, it is deleted after a time determined by the sender. For pretty obvious reasons, this has become the service of choice for 'sexting'. This can not only encourage potentially destructive behaviour but the false sense of security can lead to huge embarrassment. Simply because, with an iPhone at least, it's possible to take a screenshot of an image before it is deleted ... And even after they're deleted, it's possible to claw them back.
BBM or BlackBerry Messenger is cited as a fundamental reason for the popularity of what are essentially business phones with a teenage audience. The free service was a huge draw before the days of unlimited texts and remains incredibly popular. So much so that it is now coming to other devices, including iPhones. So get ready for user numbers (already over 55 million) to sky rocket. Rather than usernames, BBM users have a PIN that they choose to give out to 'trusted' friends – in theory at least.
Similarly to Kik, WhatsApp is a free messaging service that can be used by friends across different devices. Whatsapp users have to register their mobile number and can have group chats as well as one-on-one messaging. If your teenager has friends or family in other countries, WhatsApp provides a free way of staying in touch. As with any group chat, being aware of the potential for cliques and bullying can help you talk to your teenager if they find themselves at the heart of a less than pleasant social experience.
Quib.ly e-safety expert, James Diamond has put together some sensible advice about chat apps here.
Now owned by Microsoft, Skype has enveloped the Microsoft Messenger that many of us parents will have used in times gone by. While we often use Skype for work purposes, or to videocall far flung family, it's easy to remember that Skype is also available for smartphones and can be used to video, voice call and chat. Similarly, Google has now combined its various chat and video/voice calling services into one application: Google Hangouts. While Google + is not the most popular social network for teenagers, we shouldn't discount them picking up this new tool.
Loved by many for its gorgeous photo filters, beyond creative camera work, Instagram is also the home of the 'selfie'. Users tag their image uploads with hashtags which can be used by other members to find collections of similar images. Many of these images are tagged #me or #selfie and can be huge sources of ego boost ('hundreds of people loved my picture') but can also attract cruel comments and unpleasant approaches. While many teens may feel tempted to get onto these rollercoaster, the simple act of making their accounts private can help deter.
It probably seems almost too obvious to include! But there are a number of features 'beyond the wall' to be aware of and make sure your teen is clued up on. While Quib.ly experts recommend being friends with your teen on Facebook so you can keep an eye on their activity, chat takes place privately, so you will not automatically see who your teen is talking with. Facebook do monitor chat activity for anything really atrocious, but prevention is key. As with any online activity, encourage safe behaviour, only accepting friend requests from real life contacts and telling a trusted adult (ideally you guys) if anything is said over chat that makes your youngster feel uncomfortable.
Facebook often gets the limelight but there are millions of under-18s using Twitter. Twitter itself has published a useful guide for parents and alongside encouraging critical thinking and thinking before you tweet (amen to that!) they encourage the use of blocking and ignoring.
Often talked about as a blogging platform, Tumblr is actually a social microblogging platform and available as an app and web platform. Now that it's been bought by Yahoo! expect awareness of Tumblr to rise and – assuming Yahoo! don't make any missteps with it user numbers to follow upwards. Encourage safe blogging behaviour – no locations or personal information, no contact details – but also the safe social behaviours too.
Chances are you've heard of most if not all of the apps mentioned so far, except this one. Omegle is far smaller than the others but is perhaps the darkest horse. Omegle's pitch is 'talk to strangers' and while it is for ages 13 and over and users under 18 are recommended to seek parental approval, this is easy to ignore.
Quib.ly expert, Rebecca Avery urges caution: "Children are often unaware that webcams etc can be recorded which means that these sites are not as "anonymous" as they may think, so they should always be very cautious when using webcams etc and not do anything on that they wouldn't do in public. Another of the main concerns with these sites is that they don't record or monitor content, so there is very little chance of the police being able to track anyone who uses the site illegally."
However she is also quick to reassure: "[These apps and sites] seem to go in and out of fashion as I've found that young people tend to get bored".
