Psychiatrists caution against assigning personality disorders until at least age eighteen. Yet it can't hurt to watch for tendencies toward symptoms associated with disorders – especially regarding narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).
Of course, before looking too closely at children, parents should examine their own tendencies toward narcissistic behaviors. These attitudes, outlooks and behaviors rarely appear in children without adult examples. They are more commonly modeled by parents for children to emulate.
The parent who always insists on being right or knowing morethan others, should not be surprised if his or her children display the same behaviors. Parents are in higher risk of raising children to be narcissistic when they fail to correct (in their own lives and in their children) behaviors and attidues associated with the symptoms of narcissism.
I am inviting parents to take inventory. A narcissistic life is both personally destructive and harmfully disruptive to relationships.
Believes that he or she is special and unique (can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions).
Parents should avoid doing things that display these narcissistic ways of thinking and behaving. They are also wise to correct tendencies toward these behaviors in their children.
Overly indulging parents, for example, who jump at every request of a child are actually encourage narcissism. Parents sometimes think this is a way to model servanthood to children. This will more likely teach your children that the world centers on them and their demands. But the world we're sending them into won't jump for their every wish.
This kind of overindulgent parenting will only set children up for self-destructive expectations and broken relationships.
Correcting selfish behaviors and attitudes in our children is an act of true love for your children and for their future relationships.
Honest words of encouragement and compliment are important for our children. Our children need to know that we are confident in them.
Help your children see themselves as valuable beings made in God's image.
Encourage your children in their gifts and strengths, but always in context of humble appreciation toward the Giver of our gifts.
Challenge your children to use their gifts and abilities to help others.
Be careful not to wrongly judge self-confident people as narcissistic. Narcism is not about confidence in public roles, but distorted versions of reality regarding self. Quiet or seemingly shy people can also be narcissistic (hypochondriacs are classic examples).
The flag of narcissism flies high when people are self-absorbed or self-assertive in arrogant and condescending ways.
Don't be the parents who overindulged a child's sense of personal beauty or talent. This will lead to self-deception, narcissism and social dysfunction. It's also a sure path to marital misery!
Are you encouraging narcissistic symptoms in your children?
Are you (as a parent) modeling narcissistic behaviors?
Do you always have to be right or to know more than others?
Be careful not to overreact in detecting symptoms of narcissism in children. Our common fallen nature has a powerful and deceptive gravitational pull toward narcissistic ways. Yet for the sake of the children and society at large, let's deal wisely and directly with narcissistic symptoms in ourselves first, then in our children.

Dear Pastor Cornell. Thank you for sharing this article. Not too long ago, I learned that a Narcissistic Personality Disorder is the root cause of domestic abuse… How enlightening it is to know and spot these tendencies early in life so they can be dealt with appropriately.
It makes sense that the child learns these traits being passed down to them through observing their parents' example. However, the double edged sword of every "psychological condition" is that it is a tagphrase pasted on a behavior in a way requesting to be validated by external (or politically motivated approval or disapproval). When God is the heart of the matter, and religion as is such the case, then the heart of the individual somehow gets lost in this viewing as we aim to grade the intentions of its' bearer as good to a fault or bad to the bone. How vain really that anyone should take the place of God in this judgement of the human heart. Any instructive benefit of these psychological/ spiritual/ social tools ought to be seen, rather, as mere TOOLS; ways in which we can either, as a team or introspectively guage our behaviour in order to lift ourselves up, empower others and benefit the community as a whole with knowledge. Otherwise the purpose of having these descriptors (which should provide comfort, understanding and empathy….and not condescension, mistrust and avoidance) would not be of any worthwhile cause or significance. Laugh and try to move on with your head up.
I see your point and agree that all labels without compassion and humility are potential food for social cannibals (see: https://thinkpoint.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/social-cannibalism/) . Yet we need some labels to expose certain behaviors and attitudes for what the are. But true love (the goal of all who desire to live God-like lives) does not delight in evil and always protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres (see: https://thinkpoint.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/put-your-name-in-place-of-love/). Thanks for commenting!
Here's one especially for parents.
Awesome job, Pastor Cornell. I did not know that pastors had time for online stuff. What a thoughtful and excellent way to reach out. I remember learning about Narcissistic Personality Disorder in my psychology class. You were very right about this type of personality causing domestic problems. I know a few families who have gone in for counseling. Some are ready for a change only with severe intervention. Please continue the good work and God bless you.
I agree with a lot of what you state in your article, but I do not agree that "overindulgent parenting" is the source of the problem. There has been a recent article that veers toward that same line of thought, but please be aware that God alone knows the source, and without Him, we run the risk of creating spiritual monsters in the likes of narcissists, disobedient, ungrateful, unholy…2 Timothy 3:2. I lived with someone who had the strongest NPD symptoms imaginable…I do not believe he had overindulgent parents…I believe he was abused. We can all come up with a possible cause, but all that is important is that we raise the gifts that God has given us, for Him alone, leading by godly example, dependent upon the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and discernment.
While this article is filled with sound parenting advice, it misses the mark concerning NPD. My father has NPD. When my sister got married he demanded to be allowed to bring a date we had never met. My sister said she was not comfortable with this. He did not attend the wedding, instead sending all his children letters stating that he was going to sue us for slander. We, unanimously decided to have no further contact with him. I began to research why he would behave this way and discovered NPD. All the symptoms are there- sense of entitlement, we were only useful if he could show us off to others, and narcissistic rage. My father was the 8th of 9 children in a very strict Catholic household. Children were expected to submit to their parents wishes and were meant to be seen not heard. None of his siblings have NPD. On the other hand, my husband's nephew is an only child whose parents are kind and decent but superficial keep up with the Jones's type. He is 13 now and yes he is a sheltered introvert but does not display signs of NPD. What this article describes is egocentrism which should not be confused with narcissism.

Minister Bishop with House of Commons Select Committee on Foreign Affairs. Image via Twitter.
As the UK's Royal Navy Type 23 frigate HMS Sutherland visits Australia during its seven-month deployment in the Indo-Pacific, the federal government has talked up strengthening its trade and security relationship with the UK.
Australia's Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop concluded a trip to the UK last month where she talked up Australia's relationship with the UK, "one of our closest international security partners".
The UK government has also been showing its support for a strengthened defence industry relationship with Australia. Under Secretary of State for Defence Procurement Harriett Baldwin visited Australia in November and announced the UK is looking into incorporating the Australian 'CEAFAR' radar, developed by CEA Technologies, on future British warships.
The radar is already in service with the RAN and a capability study to fit the radar to British ships will begin early next year. If successful, the UK would be the phased array radar's first international customer.
Under Secretary Baldwin's visit came just months after Minister for Defence Industry Christopher Pyne and the former secretary of state for defence Sir Michael Fallon held the first ever Aus-UK Ministerial Defence Industry Dialogue, discussing defence materiel and industry co-operation between the nations.
Sir Michael said selection of the UK's BAE Systems bid for the SEA 5000 project would create ample defence export and job opportunities for Australia.
The British firm and the UK government have also committed to the transfer of more than $1.5 billion of technical design and intellectual property if BAE Systems secured the SEA 5000 project.
The UK's Defence and Security Organisation (DSO) have also launched a platform for Australian companies looking to join the supply chain and pursue defence opportunities in the UK.
Head of the Defence and Security Organisation Steve Phipson also spoke with Defence Connect at the Pacific 2017 International Maritime Exposition, and said the UK industry is looking to better communicate with Australian industry to establish reciprocal trade with its new supplier registration website.
"Very often we hear this, I've had this challenge from the Australian ministers before now about, well, 'how do we get reciprocal trade going?' and it is quite straight forward to do," Phipson said.
"I think a lot of it is about communicating the process to make sure that we are able to point Australian companies in the right direction to sign up for this. So there's that one, which is good.
"The second one, which is good, is teaming up with the UK prime suppliers and using Australia as parts of their supply chain, which is something else that we are working on very hard, particularly as most of our larger companies have substantial assets here in Australia. And making sure that Australian companies are able to become part of the supply chain back to the UK is something that we're pushing for quite heavily."
Companies looking to register with UK's MoD can sign up here.
BAE Systems is offering the Type 26 Global Combat Ship Australia (GCS-A) for the SEA 5000 project. Fincantieri of Italy is offering its FREMM design while Spain's Navantia has put forward its F-5000 design for the project. The winner will be announced this year. The vessels will replace the Anzac frigates from the mid 2020s.
The UK company has said it will establish a digital shipyard that will transform Australia's shipbuilding industry and facilitate a transfer of intellectual property and technical data, including the digital ship design optimised for the production of the Global Combat Ship.
The innovative digital shipyard will bring the "ship to life" during its service life, with intelligent systems, both on board and linked to those ashore, that will monitor the performance of the ship and its systems. The digital shipyard will also include an inventory of parts, including cost and acoustic signature, suppliers and their details.
BAE Systems also recently unveiled its workforce mobilisation strategy for the SEA 5000 project, with a recruitment strategy that will include an Early Careers Program to create a pipeline of apprentices and graduates throughout the build phase of the $35 billion project.
The UK contender will commit to apprentices in steelwork, mechanical, electrical and technical trades, who will be central to the company's strategy to ensure the right breadth and depth of skilled workers are brought into the multi-decade program. The company is anticipating that, at its peak, the Early Careers Program will have a population of around 150 apprentices, which will continue throughout the 35-year program.
A graduate program for business and engineering students will also offer opportunities for international placements across the company's global business.

Hope everyone had an outstanding weekend. We had an outstanding video shoot and BBQ on Saturday and are really stoked to see what EnJet Media puts together for us. Tiffany and Matt were great and I can't recommend them highly enough for any small business looking to put together a great video.
First, here's a look at the training split for the week. As always, we mix up the workouts by day. It's important to realize that it does not matter what your goal is, every workout will be able to tailor the reps and weight so that you're in the right range. While some are certainly more aerobic or anaerobic in nature, it's the consistent combination of them all that will get you the most well-rounded results.
Today we're doing a multi-goal superset with descending amounts of reps. Four total rounds, shade under 30 minutes.
Don't forget to check out our educational portion of the Training Board, "Why We Do: Squats". We'll be switching topics tomorrow and going through the science of circuit training.
We've also added a new section to the Food Science board called, "What's the Deal With?", where we'll profile a certain nutritional hot topic. This week we're covering gluten.
Looking forward to another great week at P360.

TV vs Digital: A match made in heaven?
RTS Futures assembled a panel of pioneers for its sold-out event at London's Hospital Club in late April, "I made it in... digital". An enthusiastic, youthful audience was eager to learn from their experiences of working at the cutting edge of new media. It learnt, perhaps surprisingly, that television – the dancing dad at an achingly hip party – still has a big role to play in the digital age.

SUPERMATEMATICA

Supermatematica (SM) s-a născut din efortul milenar și disperat al omului de-a modela lumea așa cum este ea: complexă și neliniară, nu liniară și simplistă. Prin ea se șterg granițele dintre liniar și neliniar, dintre ideal și real. Liniarul fiind domeniul matematicii centrice (MC), ordinare, iar neliniarul cel al matematicilor excentrice (ME), noi. Ambele alcătuind ceea ce se numește acum supermatematică (SM)  prin reuniunea celor două domenii, adică SM = MC  ME.
SM este rodul bogat al deplasării unui singur punct, a polului P(0,0) și redenumit excentru S(s, ε), dintre cele trei puncte suprapuse / confundate de  marele Leonhard Euler în MC: centrul cercului unitate CU(0,0), originea sistemului de referință / reperului O(0, 0) și a polului P(0, 0).
De aceea, în SM se disting armătoarele 4 domenii esențiale:
1)	C(0,0) ≡ O(0,0) ≡ P(0, 0)        Domeniul matematicii centrice (MC)
2)	C(0,0) ≡ O(0,0) ≠ S(s, ε)         Domeniul matematicii excentrice (ME)
3)	C(0,0) ≠  O(0,0) ≡ S(s, ε)        Domeniul matematicii elevate (MEL)
4)	C(0,0) ≠  O(0,0) ≠ S(s, ε)        Domeniul matematicii exotice (MEX)
Prin combinarea funcțiilor din cele 4 domenii apar o mulțime de domenii noi, prin combi-
narea cărora apar alate domenii noi ș.a.m.d., motiv pentru care se poate vorbi despre nemărginirea SM și, totodată, despre măreția ei. SM este împlinirea visul matematicienilor de-a avea o infinitate de matematici și de-a opera cât mai simplu cu ele.
Acest vis a devenit realitate în 1978 prin publicarea lucrării "FUNCȚII CIRCULARE EXCENTRICE" în care se arăta că fiecărui punct E(e, ε) dintr-un cerc oarecare C(O,R) sau S(s, ε) din planul cercului trigonometric sau a cercului unitate CU(O,1), denumite excentre, îi corespunde câte o matematică.
SM multiplică la infinit toate funcțiile trigonometrice centrice, toate obiectele și formele matematice cunoscute și pe care acum suntem obligați să le denumim centrice și introduce funcții, forme și obiecte matematice noi, denumite excentrice, elevate și, respectiv, exotice, deosebit de utile pentru știința și pentru tehnică.
Descoperirea trecerii de la centric la excentric în matematică este, fără exagerare, similară trecerii de la geocentric la heliocentric în cosmogonie; ambele domenii beneficiind de saltul uriaș de la unu la infinit.
Înlocuindu-se, de exemplu, în ecuațiile parametrice ale diverselor curbe cunoscute ca cerc, elipsă, parabolă, hiperbolă ș.a., pe care le numim centrice, funcțiile trigonometrice centrice cosα, sinα ș.a. cu cele excentrice cexθ, sexθ, ș.a. se obține câte o altă formă de curbă denumită excentrică, pentru fiecare poziție posibilă a excentrului E sau S în plan. Se vor obține o infinitate de excentrice circulare, eliptice, hiperbolice ș.a.m.d. și, pentru e = s = 0, se va obține  curba generatoare, centrică,  de la care s-a plecat. Cu noile funcții SM precum amplitudine excentrice de variabilă excentrică θ (aexθ) și de variabila centrică α (Aexα), beta excentrice (bexθ și Bexα), radial excentrice (rexθ și Rexα), derivat excentrice (dexθ și Dexα) ș.m.a. se vor obține noi curbe plane ca bilobe, trilobe, quadrilobe / cvadrilobe, pentalobe, … multilobe sau n-lobe.
Se deduce că MC este un caz particular, de excentricitate nulă, a SM și că SM are dimensiune topologică de minimum 2, în timp ce MC are numai dimensiunea topologică zero, a unui punct.
În plus, funcțiile SM noi pot fi exprimate prin variabila excentrică θ sau prin variabila centrică α, având fiecare câte două determinari: una principală de indice 1 (sau fară indice, când confuziile sunt excluse) rezultată prin intersecția CU cu semidreapta excentrică (având pe S drept origine)  pozitivă d+ și una secundară notată cu indicele 2 de intersecție a CU cu semidreapta excentrică  negativă d─.
La funcții noi se obțin o infinitate de forme 2D și 3D noi, dintre care amintim obiectele geometrice hibride: cono-piramida, care începe ca o piramidă cu bază un pătrat și se termină ca un con circular drept, (sau invers pentru piramido-con) obținută prin transformarea continuă a cercului în pătrat cu funcția dexθ, țeava cilindro-pătrato-triunghiulară la care, pe lângă transformarea anterioară, se adaugă și transformarea continuă a cercului în triunghi cu ajutorul funcție cosinus excentrice cexθ, sfero-cubul a cărui proiecții pe un plan sunt un pătrat și pe celelalte două plane, reciproc perpendiculare, sunt cercuri sau, mai precis, discuri circulare ș.m.a. Ele stau la baza unei noi metode de reprezentare a pieselor tehnice denumită SM-CAD / CAM și care permite desenarea pur (super)matematică a oricărei piese tehnice. Cu avantajele majore care derivă din această acțiune și care se referă la o enormă economisire de memorie; memorându-se doar expresiile matematice ale formei piesei și nu imensitatea de puncte (pixeli) ce o alcătuiesc.
Aceste complemente noi de matematici, reunite sub denumirea de supermatematică (SM), sunt unelte sau instrumente deosebit de utile, de mult așteptate, dovadă fiind numărul mare și diversitatea funcțiilor periodice introduse în matematică și modul, uneori complicat, de a se ajunge la ele.
Pentru obținerea unor funcții speciale și periodice noi, s-a încercat înlocuirea cercului trigonometric cu pătratul sau cu rombul, așa cum a procedat fostul șef al Catedrei de Matematică de la Universitatea POLITEHNICA" din Timișoara, profesorul universitar timișorean Dr. mat. Valeriu Alaci, descoperind funcțiile trigonometrice pătratice și pe cele rombice.
Apoi, profesorul de matematici Eugen Vișa a introdus funcțiile pseudo-hiperbolice, iar
profesorul de matematici M.O. Enculescu a definit  funcțiile poligonale, înlocuind cercul cu un poligon cu n laturi; pentru n = 4 obținând funcțiile trigonometrice pătratice Alaci.
Matematicianul sovietic Marcușevici a introdus funcțiile trigonometrice generalizate  și
funcțiile trigonometrice lemniscate.
Încă din anul 1877 matematicianul german Dr. Biehringer, substituind triunghiul dreptunghic cu unul oarecare a definit funcțiile trigonometrice înclinate.
Savantul englez, de origine romana, ing. George (Gogu) Constantinescu a înlocuit cercul cu evolventa și a definit funcțiile evolventice, denumite de el funcțiile trigonometrice românești: cosinus românesc Corα și sinusul românesc Sirα, cu ajutorul cărora a soluționat exact unele ecuații diferențiale neliniare ale teoriei sonicității, creată de el. Dar, prea puțin cunoscute tocmai în România.
Toate aceste familii de funcții s-au dovedit deosebit de utile la soluționarea unor probleme de
complexitate foarte ridicată ca, de exemplu, exprimarea sub formă trigonometrică a sumei și a diferenței numerelor complexe, soluționarea exactă a unor ecuații diferențiale liniare cu coeficienți variabili, dar și găsirea soluțiilor unor sisteme oscilante mecanice de caracteristică elastică neliniară, care pentru e = 0 (dar și pentru e = 1) se obțin soluțiile sistemelor liniare.
Ca să nu mai vorbim de derminarea unei relații de calcul simple, cu numai doi termeni, a integralei eliptice complete de prima speță K(k) și cu precizia incredibilă de minim 15 zecimale exacte.
          SM survolează spațiile superioare ale tuturor disciplinelor științifice și tehnice și produce la baza lor un tzunami (solitoni) care sfidează și spulberă granițele dintre ele.
SM ne apropie cel mai mult de acceptarea cercului și a sferei ca simbol al plenitudinii desăvârșirii.
          La 3 noiembrie 1823 Janos Bolyai scria la Timișoara: "Din nimic am creat o nouă lume".
Cu aceste cuvinte a anunțat descoperirea formulei fundamentale a primei geometrii neeuclidiene.
       Tipic descoperirilor de până acum, afirma savantul anglo-sovietic Kapitza, este că valoarea lor este recunoscută după 20...30 de ani. În România această perioadă este cu mult mai lungă . Noi am așteptat peste 30 de ani, timp în care SM s-a îmbogățit cu FSM circulare, eliptice, parabolice și hiperbolice, elevate și exotice, de excentru S punct fix sau punct variabil ce evoluează pe o anumită curba după anumite legi, cu FSM de variabilă centrică, cu FSM de dublă excentricitate și de excentricitate multiplă, precum și cu o pleiadă de aplicații dintre cele mai importante, dacă e să amintim doar SM-CAD / CAM și haosul excentric al prof. dr. mat. Emilia Petrișor. În acest domeniu sunt publicate peste 100 de lucrări scrise de peste 8 autori.

CUM S-AU DESCOPERIT MATEMATICA EXCENTRICĂ (ME) ȘI SUPERMATEMATICA (SM)

  Ocupându-ne de determinarea experimentală a amortizărilor, provenite de la cuplele
cinematice arbore principal – pană – roată dințată, ale strungurilor universale, în ideea de a mări aceste amortizări și a diminua amplitudinile de vibrații la torsiune ale mașinilor-unelte, măsurările experimentale au eșuat, datorită prezenței și a altor amortizări, mult mai puternice, provenite de la standul de încercare, pe de o parte, iar, pe de altă parte, datorită puternicelor neliniarități ale cuplei cinematice arbore-stand. Astfel, a apărut necesitatea realizării unui studiu teoretic al unor sisteme elastice neliniare, în cadrul grupei de Vibrații ale Mașinilor-Unelte, condusă de dr. Ing Wolfgang Buhler, de la Catedra de Mașini-Unelte a Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Karel Tuffentsammer de la Universitatea din Stuttgart, în care autorul a activat în perioada 1969-1970 cu o bursă DAAD.

FUNCȚIILE SUPERMATEMATICE

      Funcțiile, care stau la baza generării obiectelor mai tehnice și, deci, mai puțin artistice, neogeo-
metrice, sunt denumite funcții supermatematice (FSM).
            Aceste funcții sunt rodul a 39 de ani de cercetări, începute în 1969 la Universitatea din
Stuttgart, timp în care au fost publicate peste 100 de lucrări în acest domeniu, scrise de peste 20  de autori.
            Denumirea aparține regretatului matematician Prof. em. dr. doc. ing. Gheorghe Silaș care, la susținerea primei lucrări din acest domeniu, la Prima Conferință Națională de Vibrații în Construcția de Mașini, Timișoara, 1978, intitulată « FUNCȚII CIRCULARE EXCENTRICE » a declarat: "Tinere, dumneata n-ai descoperit numai «niște funcții» ci o nouă matematică, o super-matematică ". M-am bucurat, la cei 40 de ani, ca un adolescent. Și am constatat, cu multă satisfacție,  că s-ar putea să aibă dreptate !
Prefixul super se justifică astăzi, pentru a scoate în evidență apariția noilor complemente de matematică, reunite sub denumirea de matematică excentrică (ME) cu entități mult mai importante și infinit mai numeroase decât entitățile existente în actuala matematică, pe care suntem obligați s-o denumim matematica centrică (MC).
Fiecărei entități din matematica centrică îi corespund o infinitate de entități similare în matematică excentrică, astfel că supermatematica (SM) este reuniunea celor două domenii; MC fiind un caz particular, de excentricitate nulă, a SM.
Beneficiile pe care SM le aduce, în știință și în tehnologie, sunt mult prea numeroase pentru
a fi etalate aici. Dar ne face o deosebită plăcere să repetăm că SM șterge granițele dintre liniar și neliniar; liniarul aparținând MC, iar neliniarul fiind apanajul ME, ca și dintre ideal și real, sau dintre perfecțiune și imperfecțiune.
Se afirmă că Topologia este o matematică în cadrul căreia nu se face deosebire dintre un
covrig și o ceașcă. Ei bine, SM nu face distincție între un cerc și un pătrat perfect, între un cerc și un triunghi perfect, între elipsă și un dreptunghi perfect, între sferă și un cub perfect ș.a; cu aceleași ecuații parametrice obținându-se atât formele ideale ale MC (cerc, elipsă, sferă ș.a), cât și cele reale (pătrat, dreptunghi, cub ș.a.) ale ME, MEL, MEX ș.m.a.

APLICAȚIILE SUPERMATEMATICII ÎN INFORMATICĂ ȘI ÎN PROGRAMARE

1. Dezvoltarea unui nou procedeu denumit SM-CAD/CAM, de generare și vizualizare a suprafețelor pieselor tehnice și de programare a generării lor pe mașini-unelte cu CNC. Procedeul
se bazează pe facilitățile pe care le asigură SM la definirea numerică a suprafețelor complexe, denumite anterior descoperirii funcțiilor supermatematice suprafețe "nematematice" (v. procedeul UNISURF a lui P. Bezier de definire numerică a acestor suprafețe).
Prin saltul de la unu la infinit, realizat de SM, aproape toate suprafețele "nematematice" devin matematice, sau, mai precis, supermatematice.
 2. Realizarea unor programe de reprezentare și simulare a unor mecanisme mecanice și a
mărimilor cinematice și dinamice ale acestora.
3. Realizarea unor programe de simulare a cinematicii și a mărimilor dinamice ale oscilațiilor sistemelor mecanice neliniare.
4 Realizarea unui program de proiectare a camelor cu funcțiile supermatematice pentru îmbunătățirea calității mișcării (mărirea cronosecțiunii, de exemplu, fără transformări proiective) și reducerea accelerațiilor maxime. O astfel de camă echipează deja o mașină de îndreptat bare și de sudat plase de sârmă, fabricată de S.C. Electrotimiș din Timișoara, la care alte tipuri de came au dat greș.
SM nu este o lucrare încheiată, ci abia o introducere în acest domeniu vast, un prim pas, un
pas mic al autorului și un pas uriaș al matematicii.

Before beginning a week of commencement, graduates of the Redlands Unified School District gathered at the Redlands Bowl for a ceremony more spiritual in nature.
Graduates from Grove, Orangewood, Redlands, and Redlands East Valley high schools participated in the evening that included blessings, song, dance, speeches, a candle lighting and the annual releasing of doves.
"Even though in the past four years we've all been rivals, we come together tonight to ask for a blessing of peace for our new beginnings," said Redlands High School grad Alana Allen.
Redlands High graduate Kamar Haddad read a poem she wrote about being a Muslim and explained how Islam is a religion of peace.
Grove graduate Madeleine Long said her time at Grove has helped her find herself and learn that all religions are similar in some way. She considers herself more spiritual than religion and now feels comfortable with her reality.
Denissa Baidya, of Redlands High, spoke about the transformation she underwent after becoming a Seventh Day Adventist. She said she was raised in the religion but did not truly know God until her teen years when she underwent a dramatic transformation.
The Redlands High School Chamber Singers sang throughout the night, as did other students. M.E.ch.A. members, also of Redlands High, performed a salsa dance, and their classmate Niki Arab performed a modern dance piece.
McKenna Geary, of Redlands East Valley, did an interpretive dance and Brooke Baker sang a solo.
After a candle was lit for each school, Alex Eichelberger, of Orangewood, released the doves and classmate Maggie Diaz offered the closing blessing.

'In desperate need': Moms still search frantically for baby formula months after shortage
The Biden administration greatly improved supplies. But problems remain, and more is needed to increase current supplies and prevent future shortages.
Donovan Slack
Data show more than a third of caregivers said they had difficulties finding formula in November.
FDA officials say formula supplies are improving but more is needed to get it to customers.
Advocates say the FDA must do more; a review to be released this week will outline improvements.
The anguish is palpable and heartbreaking as mothers still are frantically searching for baby formula to feed their babies.
"In desperate need, it's the only thing my daughter can tolerate," one wrote on Facebook just before Thanksgiving. "I'm having a difficult time," another pleaded.
Shelves are bare in some places. Stores still are rationing sales.
"A lot of moms are really, really worried," said Pennsylvania mother Stephany Gamez, who turned to social media in recent weeks to try to find hypoallergenic formula for her infant daughter. She said in an interview with USA TODAY that she managed to score three cans last week from a friend of her husband's who found them on a business trip to California. "Right now, it's just crazy."
It has been nearly 10 months since the country's largest manufacturer recalled formula and shuttered production at a Michigan plant, sending the market into a tailspin and the Biden administration scrambling to address nationwide shortages that grew so bad malnourished babies had to be hospitalized.
What has been recalled in 2022? Your complete database on all recalls, from food to cars.
Actions taken by President Joe Biden and his administration greatly improved supplies, consumer advocates and lawmakers say. But problems remain, and more is needed, both to increase current supplies and prevent future shortages.
"It's still impacting consumers. If you ask the FDA, they say everything is OK. But if you ask the new mother or the Facebook group that, they still can't find it, or even in your neighborhood, it is still a problem," Mitzi Baum, CEO of consumer advocacy group Stop Foodborne Illness, told USA TODAY. "It's a problem."
Kansas Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, an OB-GYN, set up a page on his website to help desperate parents and caregivers access formula and has been strafing the Biden administration with inquiries about the crisis. In a statement provided to USA TODAY, he accused the administration of relying on "band aid policies" that have failed to adequately mitigate the shortages.
"The FDA's track record this year raises serious questions about the Biden administration's handling of the infant formula shortage," Marshall said. "It is a sad day when it's easier to find fentanyl than it is to find formula."
Biden welcomes Macron:Biden open to 'tweaks,' not an overhaul, of climate subsidies opposed by Macron
Administration officials say formula production now is outpacing levels before the recall, and in-stock rates are approaching what they were before, but they acknowledge more needs to be done to ensure all the formula gets where it's needed.
Dr. Susan Mayne, director of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, said in an interview Friday that the administration has made steady progress to address the crisis.
"We're encouraged by that progress," she said. "There's some work to be done, as we indicated. But we really are working to address this not just in the short run, but in the long run using the tools that we have at FDA."
How wide are the baby formula shortages?
Adults in more than a third of households with infants who use formula still had trouble finding it as of mid-November, U.S. census data show.
The census survey, administered since 2020 to gauge a number of consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, found 34% had difficulty getting infant formula within the past week. The U.S. Census cautions the data are experimental and have limits, including small sample sizes in some cases. But the survey provides one of the broadest, if rough, snapshots of consumer experience.
Overall, market research data show formula supplies are much improved since cratering over the summer. Out-of-stock rates for powdered formula, the subject of the recall, went from roughly 10% in February to more than 30% in July, data from IRI, a market research company, show. As of mid-November, national out-of-stock rates are about 13%.
Krishnakumar "KK" Davey, a president and consumer analytics specialist at IRI, told USA TODAY that manufacturers ramped up production of the most widely used formula products to feed as many babies as possible, but some of the lesser-used ones still may not be as widely available.
He said some of the shortages also can be blamed on customers stockpiling for fear of running out.
Roughly 75% of parents and caregivers in the U.S. use baby formula to help meet the nutritional needs of infants up to 6 months old.
For some, when it comes to special types of formula, the shortages could prove jarring. "If my baby drinks only XYZ and it is not available, that's a big problem for me," Davey said.

How did we get here? Cronobacter, infant deaths and lagging FDA action
FDA inspectors found sanitation problems and signs of contamination at an Abbott Nutrition manufacturing plant in Sturgis, Michigan, which prompted Abbott in February to recall formula produced at the factory and shut down production.
The FDA had received reports that babies who had consumed powdered formula made at the factory were sickened with cronobacter, a bacterial infection that can cause severe illness and death. Two babies died. None of the illnesses or deaths could be definitively linked with available strains of cronobacter found at the factory.
The shutdown sent the infant formula market into a dive. Abbott provides more than 40% of the country's supply of baby formula, and a quarter came from the Michigan plant. By May, popular brands were sold out across the country, stores began rationing sales of the formula they had, and malnourished infants were hospitalized.
Hauled before lawmakers on Capitol Hill to provide answers, FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf acknowledged the agency had been slow to act on reports of problems at the Abbott facility and didn't do enough to offset the loss of formula production. "Some decisions in retrospect could have been more optimal," Califf said at the time.
In response to many questions about the agency's workflow and timeliness, he simply said, "We don't have a great answer."
Abbott Nutrition said in a statement last week that it restarted production at its plant in Michigan in July, began adding more products to the line in September, and amped up formula production and shipping from Europe.
"We're doing everything we can to help get formula into moms' and caregivers' hands," the statement provided by spokesman John Koval said.

What is Biden doing to fix baby formula shortages?
After initially swatting away suggestions that his administration could have acted sooner, the president in mid-May shifted into high gear to address the crisis. Biden, who said he wasn't notified until April, used wartime powers to speed formula production and directed his administration to do all it could to get formula back on shelves.
The administration worked with retailers and manufacturers to increase supplies, airlifted formula from overseas, and loosened restrictions on foreign manufacturers.
The FDA issued a report in September revealing the results of an internal review of the agency's handling of the crisis. It did not assign specific blame and pointed instead to a "confluence of systemic vulnerabilities" that led to what happened, drawing criticism from lawmakers and food safety advocates that it was a vague and superficial review.
"There was a lot of language that 'We should review, we should assess,' but there was no accountability for what happened," said Baum, of Stop Foodborne Illness. "Nor were there specific action items about what could be or what should be actions taken to prevent it again."

North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, lead Republican on the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, which oversees the FDA, said the review fell "woefully short of the substantive analysis and accountability needed."
Califf told POLITICO at the time that the intent had been to "identify themes of issues" FDA needs to improve. "We're not going to spend a lot of time going back," he said. "We're going to spend our time taking into account what happened then and moving forward."
Mayne, head of the agency's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, said Friday that FDA officials are taking steps to implement recommendations from the review, which included doing more to understand the science surrounding cronobacter.
What now? Is it enough to ease concerns about baby formula shortages? Some say no.
Last month, the FDA issued a new strategy to help prevent future cronobacter outbreaks from formula consumption, including adding the infection to a list of illnesses that must be reported to public health authorities. Right now, only Minnesota requires reporting of cronobacter.
The agency also has taken steps to allow more manufacturers to sell formula in the U.S. in the long term to lessen the chances that problems with a single manufacturer will cause such widespread havoc.
"I think the agency has already taken several important concrete steps forward and will continue to do so as we work to try to prevent something like this happening in the future," Mayne said.
A separate review of the structure of the FDA's food safety programs and oversight is scheduled to be finished this week; results are due Tuesday. The inquiry is being overseen by the Reagan-Udall Foundation, an independent organization created by Congress to help the agency. The evaluation is expected to focus on "leadership, authorities, resources, and culture" at the FDA.
Baby formula shortage:FDA chief admits federal regulators were 'too slow' to act
Advocates applauded the actions the Biden administration has taken but said a thorough review is crucial to future prevention.
"A formal assessment for how we arrived at this point is imperative," said Dr. Jamila Taylor, president and CEO of the National WIC Association. "We must ensure better oversight from the FDA to guarantee safety standards are being met so that an entire plant isn't forced to shut down."
Key lawmakers are poised to take action in Congress. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., plans to introduce legislation to foster more competition in the formula market by supporting smaller manufacturers. "Just four companies control 90 percent of our domestic supply of infant formula. That must end," she told USA TODAY in a statement.
DeLauro, chair of the House Appropriations Committee until Republicans take over the chamber in January, said it will be important also to bolster food safety oversight at the FDA with more inspection staff and better oversight.
"Here's the bottom line: I believe the current formula shortage could have been avoided, and we should do all we can to prevent similar shortages from occurring in the future," she said.
Marshall, the senator and OB-GYN from Kansas, joined other Republican senators in asking the Government Accountability Office to study the effect on the formula supply of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC, program. The GAO review is ongoing.
Parents 'just trying to feed their new babies'
Gamez gave birth in February, and by 2 months old, her baby daughter had tummy problems, prompting her doctor to recommend feeding her hypoallergenic formula.
"I remembered right away I drove like an hour maybe and there were six cans," she said. Her doctor tided her over the height of shortages with another three sample cans. "So we survived with those."
Her daughter is now transitioning bit by bit to regular formula, but Gamez worries about other mothers. "At least my baby can tolerate now some other formula, but I know for a lot of moms … their babies, they only tolerate this formula," she said.
"And it's just hard to find it. I mean, you go to the stores and there's nothing there and not even online and it's just hard to trust people around Facebook," Gamez said. "I also called the doctor last week, and I asked them for some sample cans, but they say 'I'm sorry, we don't have any more samples to provide right now.'"
Baum, the food safety consumer advocate, suggested the plight of mothers like her can sometimes get lost amid the focus on market and government reforms.
"There are a whole host of issues associated with this," she said. "But in the end, the people that end up paying the price are the consumers, are the parents that are just trying to feed their new babies."

Storrs Library offers free online streaming service
LONGMEADOW – Storrs Library is now offering a free online film, music, audio book and e-book streaming service for its patrons called hoopla digital as a way to provide 24/7 access to media for library users.
Storrs Adult Services Librarian Barbara Fitzgerald said hoopla digital is being used to expand the library's offerings across multiple media platforms.
"A number of libraries are taking advantage of these services," she added.
Fitzgerald said the library is paying an annual subscription for hoopla and it would likely continue to offer the product as long as patrons show interest.
"If we get the amount of use to warrant the expense [we would continue using hoopla]," she added.
Storrs began offering the streaming service on Aug. 10.
Michael Manon, chief brand manager for hoopla digital, told Reminder Publications hoopla began almost two years ago and it was started by 25-year-old company Midwest Tape, which specializes in distributing media to 800 public libraries in the United States and Canada.
"[hoopla] has one lone customer – that customer is public libraries," he added. "We service public libraries by partnering with them, by having well over 350,000 entertainment titles available to borrow."
The digital streaming company offers other media content such as comic books and television shows as well, he noted.
Manon said what's different about hoopla is it's instantaneous and does not require holds or waiting periods.
"If you're a library card holder at a partnering hoopla library you can have access to that brand new album right now on hoopla," he added. "Three hundred and fifty thousand people could be downloading and listening to that same album on hoopla at the very same time."
Hoopla features content from major Hollywood studios such as "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" as well as albums such as the soundtrack to "Southpaw," Ed Sheeran's "X," and Mumford & Son's "Wilder One" album, according to the company.
Libraries that subscribe to hoopla are not charged until a patron begins streaming content, Manon said.
He added that hoopla is available through the Google Play store, on Apple devices as well as kindle. For more information about the streaming service visit www.hoopladigital.com.
Fitzgerald said Storrs also offers Overdrive, a digital offering of the Central/Western Massachusetts Automated Resource Sharing (C/W Mars) catalogue.
She added that C/W Mars offers thousands of e-book and audio book offerings as well as video content.
Storrs Library also offers demonstrations of how to use hoopla digital or Overdrive during its Tech Tuesdays, which take place 12:30 to 2 p.m., she noted.

Pontificate of Pope Francis to be consecrated to Our Lady of Fatima
On May 13 in Fatima, in celebration of which are invited all the people of God, the pontificate of Pope Francis will be consecrated to Our Lady of Fatima. In response to the request made by the Pope to Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon, José Policarpo, to consecrate his pontificate to Our Lady of Fatima, the Portuguese bishops decided that this consecration will be done next May 13. The consecration will be inserted in the program of international pilgrimage of 12 and 13 May,on the 13th, at a time to be announced.
The anniversary international pilgrimage in May marks 96 years since the first apparition of Our Lady to the seers, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta and will be presided over by the Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, Orani Tempesta.
In his opening speech of 181st Plenary Assembly of the Portuguese Episcopal Conference,José Policarpo Francisco revealed that the Pope had asked him twice, that consecrate his Petrine ministry to Our Lady of Fatima.
At the time of the announcement, José Policarpo said that could accomplish this mandate alone, "in the silence of prayer," but that "it would be indeed good if all the Bishops associated themselves with the accomplishment of this request."
Official source!
Cathcon- hopefully the Pope will also clear up the obscurities surrounding the Third Secret of Fatima and (finally!) consecrate Russia to Our Lady of Fatima. The Russians could dedicate the West to Our Lady of Vladimir so as not to upset ecumenical relations.
As stated before on this blog, this Marian Pope is going to be full of surprises.

Q: LGPL library is linked statically to other LGPL library In commercial proprietary product library1 is used which is under LGPL. According to LGPL library1 is distributed separately as shared library. library1 statically linked to other library library2 which LGPL licensed as well. Is it ok distribute both libraries as single shared library? Or to meet LGPL requirements should both libraries be distributed separately?

A: To comply with the LGPL requirements, your users must have a way to replace the LGPL-licensed libraries with (compatible) versions of their own.
To replace library2, your users will have to recompile library1 as well, but that is no hindrance to LGPL compliance, as they should have that possibility anyway.

Myanmar military warns protesters to return to work amid nationwide demonstrations
Myanmar Published: Feb 12, 2021, 07:48 AM(IST)
Protesters at central bank of Myanmar in Yangon Photograph:( AFP )
Despite Hlaing's statement thousands continued their protest in Yangon and elsewhere across the country.
Myanmar's military chief Min Aung Hlaing urged demonstrators to end their protest citing coronavirus fears on Thursday as people from all walks of life continued their protest across the country demanding the restoration of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi's government.
"Due to unscrupulous persons' incitement, some civil service personnel have failed to perform their duties," General Hlaing said, adding, "effective actions will be taken." Myanmar's general asked civil servants to come back to work amid large scale demonstrations.
Despite Hlaing's statement thousands continued their protest in Yangon and elsewhere across the country. Several protesters chanted anti-military slogans aboard traditional fishing boats on Inle Lake in Shan state, southeastern Myanmar.
The military coup which took place last Monday led to the arrest of popular pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi including many of her NLD party leaders. On Thursday, there were more reports of arrests with deputy speaker of the parliament's lower house and a key aide to Suu Kyi being arrested.
The military had imposed a one year state of emergency after the coup and had alleged that there was voter fraud in the last November elections, a claim which has been stridently opposed by protesters who have been demanding a return to democracy and freeing of Suu Kyi.
The face-off between the police and protesters took a deadly turn this week after live rounds were fired at a rally in Naypyidaw critically wounding a woman who is currently battling for life.

Welcome to another fact check / recap of the weekly podcast. We are two unprofessional wrestling fans so facts and details start to get dicey as we tangent off in a hundred different directions.
- We didn't mention our intro music, "Los Angeles" by Belgian band Malibu Stacy. If it sounded familiar, it is likely because it was featured on FIFA 07.
- Mike Zadick wrestled for Iowa and was a 3-time all-american graduating in 2002. He was a 2006 World Silver Medalist and a 2008 Olympian. Bill Zadick was an NCAA Champ in 1996 and a 2006 World Champion. I'm not exactly what Kevin said, but some of it was true.
- The official attendance for the Iowa dual vs Iowa State was 11,882.
And here's a video for you of Logan Stieber beating Mike Zadick for 3rd place in 2011.

It's the LSCC Conference 2017, on June 20 at the British Library Conference Centre - a couple of steps from King's Cross.
Topics for discussion will include everything you might expect - "delivering the vision for a global knowledge economy", and "turbo-charging" it, infrastructure, housing, employment and skills.
"The LSCC is Britain's sci-tech superhighway - a pioneering hub of innovation and enterprise where cutting-edge ideas shape the future," LSCC says.
You are urged to book early (there's a discount).
"This year's conference focuses on meeting the global challenge, during a period of political and economic turbulence, opportunities and challenges.
"It is a year since the independent LSCC Growth Commission set out an ambitious vision for the region's economic future, as well as the priorities for action to deliver this success.
I googled Silicon Valley to find out how it is promoted to the wider world, but all I could find was something about an American comedy series with the same name.

South African Bank Investing $59M In Kenyan Malls
Written by Dana Sanchez
Hoping for a high return on investment in other emerging African markets, South Africa's largest bank plans to spend $59 million building two malls in Kenya, according to a report in VenturesAfrica.
Stanlib, the asset management arm of South Africa-based Liberty Group, said the malls will be financed by its $150 million African Direct Property Development Fund established in May. The Liberty group is 53-percent owned by South Africa's largest bank, Standard Bank Group.
Previously focused on developing malls in Nigeria, Ghana and Uganda, the property fund is fast-tracking its investment push, opening a regional office in Kenya's capital city, Nairobi, and employing staff to oversee its operations in the area, the report said.
Each mall will cost $20 million to $30 million, with construction expected to begin in 2015.
"We cannot discuss where exactly they will be but we can say Nairobi and the greater Nairobi region," said Fund Manager Roberto Ferreira.

Albert will be leaving the Farm in February to teach in Mexico and Belize and visit Plenty projects in Guatemala before returning to ETC for another season, beginning in April.
Howdy y'all. I am leaving next week to Mexico where Maria Ros, Hector Reyes and I are continuing our work in rural Quintana Roo with permaculture demonstrations, local school curricula, transition towns, and constructing Ecoaldea Gratitud. During the Climate Summit, President Calderon made many pledges that we intend to hold the Mexican government to, and time will tell how all that unfolds.
In early March we will miss Carnaval to travel to Belize, where we will hold our 6th Annual PDC at the Maya Mountain Research Farm. We hope to have the usual group of local Mayan students together with international students, and this year we also are looking for participation from Belizian aid groups, who can improve their successes with a few simple techniques.
Following the course we are headed up into Guatemala to visit some Plenty projects and also pay a call on the folks who are experimenting with Georotational Energy -- using the spin of the earth to generate gigawatt-scale electricity by employing long water pipes oriented to Longitude.
In April I will be back at The Farm Ecovillage Training Center and ready to start constuction on our major remodeling project for the Eco-hostel, the first since 1994 on a building constructed from 3 Korean-War army tents c. 1972. We intend a new strawbale auditorium addition, more bathrooms (course graduates will be happy to hear), and an internet café (assuming Obama makes good on his pledge to erase the digital divide).
There will be lots more this year, including speaking at several Mother Earth News fairs, the IPC in Jordan, trips to Palestine, Finland and Estonia, and an audio book version of The Biochar Solution, so stay tuned!

Teen networking site 'allowed child porn'
Graphic porn involving children possibly as young as five was on social networking site tagged.com for two months after it was reported to the site's administrators, New York's attorney general says.
Andrew Cuomo says he plans to sue the company – which targets its site at teens – for failing to protect children.
In an undercover investigation, says Cuomo, his office uncovered numerous graphic images of children being sexually abused, inappropriate sexual communications between adults and minors, and content advocating pedophilia.
"Despite the safety claims listed on its very own Web site, Tagged.com repeatedly looks the other way when sexually explicit material is sent to its underage users," said Cuomo.
"Child safety online is something than can never be ignored. This type of activity on the Internet poses a threat to children everywhere and parents must be aware of the dangerous security lapses at Tagged.com."
Child protection organizations welcomed the move.
"Tagged's blatant disregard for our children's safety is completely unacceptable. Social networking sites that allow predators to exploit and potentially access our most vulnerable must be held accountable," said Laura Ahern, executive director of parents for Megan's Law and the Crime Victims Center.
"Attorney General Cuomo is a crusader for our children and I applaud his continued commitment to fighting sex abuse in New York State."
Tagged says only that it is working with Cuomo to resolve the problem.

Rosebank Wood - SOLD, Devon - About 8 ½ acres, £99,000
Located at the heart of a larger area of privately owned woodlands, Rosebank Wood [named after nearby Rosebank Farm], is a good-sized, mixed woodland with the added and rare bonus of a large forestry barn within its boundaries.
Rosebank Wood is very peaceful and tranquil, with birdsong and the occasional tractor working on the surrounding farmland being the only sounds you are likely to hear. Red and roe deer, badgers, foxes, hares and rabbits are all visitors to the woodland, along with many songbirds and birds of prey. Owls can be heard hooting at all times of day, not just at night-time.
Well-made tracks run along the southern and eastern sides of Rosebank Wood whilst within the woodland itself there are many other tracks; some broad, some narrow and including a private track leading to the barn.
Constructed in 2008, the steel framed forestry barn has a concrete floor. It is 60ft long x 30ft wide x 15ft to the eaves. There are lights in the roof, 2 very large doors to the front - plenty of access for machinery, and a locking side entrance. Open ground around the barn could be used for camping, stacking timber or perhaps establishing a forest garden.
Multiple tracks lead off from around the barn into the woodlands. Most of the woodland is mixed broadleaves (oak, ash, sycamore mainly, with smaller numbers of other species), with a scattering of conifers whilst around the northern and southern fringes conifers predominate. Much of Rosebank Wood is on level ground, sloping away at the southern and eastern sides.
In the north-east corner you will find an area of recently planted broadleaves, together with natural regeneration; this has replaced Japanese Larch which were removed about 4 years ago. Near here you will also find a bench where you can sit and take in the far-reaching views across the whole woodland and farmland beyond.
Rosebank Wood is full of delights and surprises to both stimulate and inspire the family forester. The barn provides an extra dimension, offering opportunities for crafts, wood-fuel production & storage, machinery store / workshop; the possibilities are endless.
Particulars and plans were prepared by our local manager, Dick White.

Slang for a Spanish-American 1 real coin. Until the late 1850s, Spanish-American coins were legal tender in the United States. A one bit coin was valued at 12½¢. Hence, the term two-bits referring to a U.S. quarter dollar.

Each issue was backed by the institution that issued it and tended to trade at a discount to face value. In addition, counterfeit notes were all too common. To help merchants with these problems, publications known as Bank Note Reporters began circulating. These typically contained tables arranged by state and bank that gave the current discount rate of the note. They also described known counterfeit notes to help merchants avoid accepting bad notes.

A hoard of approximately 4,600 large cents that was assembled in the mid-1800s and sold in the mid-1990s to Col. Steven Ellsworth in Virginia. The hoard offered a great opportunity for numismatists to study large cents. Better dates such as the 1793 or 1804 were noticably absent from the hoard. The hoard was named for Col. Ellsworth's company The Butternut Company in Virginia. Col. Ellsworth, a Civil War battlefield tour guide and coin dealer, named his company The Butternut Company after the color of well worn Confederate uniforms and the term used to describe the desirable color of an early American copper coin.
