Are you planning for Pension Auto-Enrolment?
Some of our clients joined us on Friday at a seminar about Pension Auto-Enrolment which we held with in conjunction with a local pension company, I think we were all pretty surpised to find out what is expected of small business owners and even more so at the penalties which can be imposed for not complying.
Small businesses will be required to put an appropriate pension scheme in place by their Staging Date which will be between 2015 and 2017. Every business will have been notified of their Staging Date which was decided more than two years ago. You can find your Staging Date by entering your PAYE reference into The Pension Regulator website.
Employers will not only be required to source a pension scheme but to auto-enrol certain eligible workers into that sheme. Even if the employer does not have eligible workers to auto-enrol they will still need a scheme as they may have workers who are entitled to opt in to the scheme or others who may request to join. Whether a worker auto-enrols, is entitled to opt in or who can request to join is dependent on their earnings and their age. Workers will need to be assessed every time their pay is processed to see which category they fall into. If a worker's pay remains the same every pay period then the assessment won't be necessary until the thresholds change. However workers who receive bonuses, overtime, deductions, those who are seasonal workers, those on zero hour contracts, etc will have variable pay each pay period and therefore will need to be assessed every time to see if they must be auto-enrolled, whether they can opt in or whether they are eligible to join.
In addition to regular assessments employers will need to communicate with their employees about Pension Auto-Enrolment before their Staging Date, provide information about the Scheme that they will join and receive communications advising that they are either auto-enrolled, able to opt in or eligible to join the scheme. Workers who are auto-enrolled can opt out of the pension scheme, but they must not be encouraged to do so (there are penalties if you persuade your workers to opt out), and any contributions which have been deducted from their wages must be refunded.
Pension contributions for employers start at 1%, increase to 2% in October 2017 and 3% in October 2018. These are minimum contributions. Employee contributions start at 1% increase to 3% and then to 5%.
Pension auto-enrolment talks about workers rather than employees because it may be that workers who are not your employees must be auto-enrolled in your scheme.
It is recommended by pension providers that you should start preparing for Auto-Enrolment at least 12 months in advance of your Staging Date so you are prepared for the costs. There will be a cost for putting a pension scheme in place in addition to the contributions you will have to make and a possible annual management fee.
We will be providing an Auto-Enrolment administration service to our payroll clients so if you would like to ease the administration burden give us a call and see how we will be able to help you.
For further information on Pension Auto-Enrolment vist The Pension Regulator website.


I work on my feet all day and I love these shoes! They look cool and they are very comfortable!
These shoes are so comfortable!
I have been a long time TUKS customer and have purchased many shoes over the years and these are by far the most comfortable ever. They are so cushy inside. I love them!
Nous sommes très comptant ne nos achats, nous reviendrons!
Wow these shoes are amazingly comfortable :) I love the espadrilles heel.
I usually wear a size 7 1/2, but always size down to 6 with TUK because they stretch out.
With these I wore thick socks and walked around the house the first day since they were stiff AF.
Anyhow very happy with my purchase & I love wearing my vegan canvas delectable slices of man made heaven shoes. Haha StayAlive!
I'm a feline veterinarian. I bought my first TUK kitty shoes in New York. They're worn out, so it was time for more! I now have 5 different pair. I get lots of comments about my kitty shoes!
I love the shoes. Fun style and good fit. Thanks!
I love the look of these shoes. I had to return them and get a size up and I am so happy I did. I can see these being regulars in my shoe rotation .
My boyfriend digs these shoes. They have him interview/work ready or just for a night out feeling fly AF! Thanks T.U.K.!
Super cute! They look much smaller in person. I wear a women's size 8. Definitely recommend!
These are so comfy, I'm buying another pair! I wear a 6.5 normally and ordered the 6 and they fit perfectly. I also have a narrow foot. They did not need breaking in at all. Great shoe!
This color was not my first choice but the burgundy velvet creepers have proven to be a huge hit. I always get compliments when I wear them! And they are so comfortable. I couldn't be happier!
These shoes look and feel amazing. They are a great fit, true to size. The insole is soooo soft and it comes out, which is super convenient, because I needed to fit orthopedic insoles in a pair.
Just what I ordered! Great fit! Even arrived early! Always, a happy customer! Wish you had toddler sizes for my little girl, though.
I've always wanted a pair of creepers and when I saw these I knew the time had come! These do take a little while to break in but are so cute they are worth it. They are true to size but if you have super wide feet then I would go a size up.
came in quickly, the quality is wonderful. a little tough to put on, but i'm sure it'll get easier once they're worn in. i love them.
Love my POLKA dot boots, kitty vegan flats and Black/white creeper boots. Got a great deal and all items came as expected!!!
These are adorable and comfortable!
Love these wingtip! Super comfy and yes if your a half size like me (7 1/2) order up as ther are narrow at the tip. Will definitely be ordering again! Great quality and fast shipping !
I wore Creepers back in the 80's when they were heavy little beasties and when my new ones came in the box was so light I thought I received the wrong ones. These are awesome and light enough that I can wear them all the time even to my Kids Punk show. Loved them so much I just ordered the Wing tips.
In love with my shoes!
My shipment came on time. I ordered a size 7 in women's, and I am a size 6 1/2. They fit perfectly. Very comfortable and sturdy. Beautiful looking shoes. I cant wait to purchase another pair!
Always been a fan of the creepers, the fact that they added these no-rings makes them my daily wear shoes.
I'm a plaid fanatic so definitely had to pick these up. Beautiful shoes.
It was better than I expected in person. I get compliments on them all the time! It gives me some height too! This fits exact! The only thing is the sock situation,you'll have to wear thin socks with these shoes. If you need more space you can take out the sole and put a thinner one inside but I find the insole to help my foot from slipping forward.
Fit is great and comfy!
Just as cute as they look in the photos, with a slight platform, I love them!
Such a great price. They fit perfectly well. Soft and well cushioned.
I wore these for the first time to work (retail) for a 9 hour shift and my feet didn't hurt or blister at all! Favorite shoes for sure!
This is my 4th leather combat boots from T.U.K. and might be my last since trend in your company is vegan friendly. I love all my leather combat boots especially the ones with side zipper. This latest boots are so pretty, I screamed when I opened a box. Perfect!

The eagle is an important spiritual animal in many cultures, from East to West.
It symbolizes bravery and strength. The eagle has a holistic vision and the gift of clear vision, with which the things that are seen are truly seen. The spirit of the eagle allows us to see the freedom of action that we possess and that we do not always dare to carry out due to attachments.
The spirit of the eagle will give us the necessary patience to know when and how to act, and will provide us with the necessary balance between the mundane and the spiritual.

Education ministry increases funding to primary and junior high schools
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Ministry of Education, Youth and Information says it is increasing funding for primary, all-age and junior high schools, based on the overall allocation of $7.98 billion for financial year 2019/2020.
This move, the ministry said, is in keeping with its non-mandatory fee policy, which commenced in September 2016.
In a recent bulletin, the ministry said that all infant departments and primary-level schools will receive $2,500 per student; and all-age and junior high schools will receive up to $19,000 per student.
Also to be provided is a maintenance grant of $150,000 per school along with the janitorial grant of $250,000 and Internet/telephone grant of $60,000.
Students, who benefit from the Programme of Advancement Through Health and Education (PATH), will receive literature books, while $2,000 will be allocated to cover identification and uniform-related items. Book vouchers valued at $2,000 each will be provided for the neediest students.
The ministry will continue to pay the insurance for students on PATH and wards of the state at all levels.
The non-mandatory fee policy is based on the philosophy that public education should be properly funded by Government while encouraging stakeholders to make voluntary contributions, the ministry said.
As such, the ministry said it is committed to supporting the core services and ensuring that the costs for these services, including additional staffing, are fully funded in order to reduce the need to request additional support from parents.
Parents, guardians and school administrators are being reminded that the basis of this policy is not to defund schools but to give them more resources to support subvention, teaching and learning, special education, maintenance and capital works, the ministry added.

Technology Android Pixel 2 Is Coming This Year, Confirms Google
Pixel 2 Is Coming This Year, Confirms Google
This year we will see a new Google Pixel series smartphone (Pixel 2) from the tech giant Google, as recently, it was confirmed by the former Motorola CEO Rick Osterloh, who is currently the head of Google's hardware department.
The arrival of the Pixel has brought Google to a different level and where it is much more complicated to keep up. With strong competition and always to stay up to date, it was important that these smartphones were unique.
If Pixel's success is in sight, it's time for Google to start preparing its successor. The confirmation that the tech giant Google will launch this year a new Pixel and this new report has come from within the company itself.
Introduced in September last year, the new Pixel is the natural heirs to everything that the tech giant Google started with the Nexus line. However, these are top smartphones, and they want to compete with what is best in the market, giving Google a prominent position.
Google is preparing a new Pixel smartphone (Pixel 2)
The success was immediate, and therefore there was doubt whether Google would create new models and what could these phones bring. Confirmation that there will be a new Pixel in 2017 came from former Motorola CEO Rick Osterloh, who is currently head of Google's hardware department.
Here is what the head of Google's hardware department, Rick Osterloh stated "There is an annual rhythm in the industry. So, you can count on us to follow it. Hence, you can rely on a successor this year, even if you do not hear the date from me now".
The tech giant Google will have the same arguments as the competition and will launch a new Pixel in 2017, probably around the same time when the previous model was introduced.
In addition to confirming that a new smartphone is coming from Google, Rick Osterloh has revealed yet another piece of information that ruins some of the ideas that have come up.
Pixel 2 will maintain the philosophy of the 2016 model and will continue to be a premium smartphone. There will not be a gamma input model, as happened with the Nexus 6P and 5X.
Google wants the Pixel to compete with the Galaxy S line and the iPhone itself, showing that it has created the best smartphone that can run Android, beating the competition.

Q: How to handle Windows dialog boxes in Web UI automation? I got stuck with the following problem. I am using WatiN with C# to automate the scenarios for Web UI application.
On a web page when I click on 'Print' button, a dialog window 'Save the file as' is opened where I need to enter a path and click on the Save button in the dialog box. When 'Print' button is clicked the browser will be keep on loading until I enter the path and save it through the dialog box.
What currently I did:

*

*Using WatiN, I tried using WatiN.Core.Native.Windows class to get the Child window (Save the file as dialog dialog) - Parent would be the browser. When I tried using it, I found that there is no option to find the edit text box to send the path.
 System.IntPtr ptr = Utility.Browser.hWnd;
 WatiN.Core.Native.Windows.Window mainWin = new WatiN.Core.Native.Windows.Window(ptr);
 System.IntPtr childptr = WatiN.Core.Native.Windows.NativeMethods.GetChildWindowHwnd(mainWin.Hwnd, "#32770"); // #32770 is the class name , retrieved from Inspect.exe.

But always I am getting childptr as '0'.

*Using UIAutomationClient, MS framework, below is my code.
WatiN.Core.Native.Windows.Window windowMain = new  WatiN.Core.Native.Windows.Window(NativeMethods.GetWindow(ptr, 5)); // ptr as declared and initialized above
TreeWalker trw = new TreeWalker(Condition.TrueCondition);
AutomationElement mainWindow = trw.GetParent(AutomationElement.FromHandle(ptr));

But i get stuck at the last line. I suspect that, it might be because the browser is loading in the background?

*Using System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys,
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("path");
// Gets stuck in above line after entering the path. Tried with only Send method, it says this method can not be used for this type of application.
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("{ENTER}");

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

A: Im not familiar with watin but I am familiar with C# ui automation using automation elements. I was able to get the save dialog from google chrome using this example.
    private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            AutomationElement aeDesktop = AutomationLibrary.GetDesktop();
            AutomationElement aeChrome =
                AutomationLibrary.GetAutomationElement(
                    "Gmail - Verify your Disqus.com account - Google Chrome", aeDesktop);
            List<AutomationElement> aeCollection = AutomationLibrary.GetAllAutomationElements(aeChrome);
            foreach (AutomationElement ae in aeCollection)
            {
                System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ae.Current.Name);
                if (ae.Current.Name == "Save As")
                {
                    List<AutomationElement> aeCollection2 = AutomationLibrary.GetAllAutomationElements(ae);
                    foreach (AutomationElement ae2 in aeCollection2)
                    {
                        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ae2.Current.Name);
                    }
                    return;
                }
            }
        }
        catch (UnableToFindAutomationElementException ex)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        }
    }

The GetAutomationElement and GetAllAutomationElements are something I wrote to wrap all the treewalking you need to do with uiautomation. Here is the GetAllAutomationElement code which should be pretty easy to use for getting a single element if you need help with that. It took me a little while to figure out how I would retrieve all of them though.
    /// <summary>
    /// Returns all children elements of an automation element.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="aeElement"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public List<AutomationElement> GetAllAutomationElements(AutomationElement aeElement)
    {
        AutomationElement aeFirstChild = TreeWalker.RawViewWalker.GetFirstChild(aeElement);

        List<AutomationElement> aeList = new List<AutomationElement>();
        aeList.Add(aeFirstChild);
        AutomationElement aeSibling = null;

        int count = 0;
        while ((aeSibling = TreeWalker.RawViewWalker.GetNextSibling(aeList[count])) != null)
        {
            aeList.Add(aeSibling);
            count++;
        }

        return aeList;
    }

Copenhagenize.com - Bicycle Urbanism by Design: Vote For the Bicycle!
Just a quick note to say that you have the chance to vote for the bicycle, now that many of us are still in election mode.
My friends at Baisikeli - the development programme here in Copenhagen that sends used Danish bikes to Africa in order to create a sustainable circle in communities - are shortlisted for an Idealist of the Year award here in Denmark.
Here's the link if you fancy voting for them. They are number three on the list if you scroll down. Just click on the button that reads 'STEM' to vote. No registration is needed.
The competition is comprised of good projects, but it's not every day you can vote for the most efficient machine ever invented and help out African communities.
Here's a Google translated version of the page above.
Baisikeli are currently preparing to send another couple of containers to Africa and will be there when they arrive. Next year they are planning a massive overland trip from Denmark to East Africa with six trucks loaded with bicycles.


The 65-mile Vermilion River flows north from the Savannah Lakes (Mud Lake and Spring Lake) in the village of Bailey Lakes (Ashland County). It empties into Lake Erie in the city of Vermilion (Erie County). Significant tributaries to the Vermilion include the East Fork, the East Branch, the Southwest Branch and Buck Creek. The Vermilion River watershed is 268 square miles (171,520 acres) and covers portions of Ashland, Erie, Huron, Lorain and Richland counties.
The southern shore of Lake Erie near the Vermilion River mouth was inhabited by the Erie Indians until around 1655 when hostile Iroquois people moved into the area and eradicated them. By the 18th century, Chippewa, Ottawa and Wyandot tribes began to occupy upland areas adjacent to the river to trade furs and to take advantage of prime hunting and fishing locations.
The name "Vermilion" is derived from an old French word meaning 'red,' which is representative of the reddish clay commonly found along the river's course.


This Act may be cited as the Jamaica National Heritage Trust Act.
"the Trust" means the Jamaica National Heritage Trust established under section 3.
Provided that the Trust shall not transfer, mortgage, charge or dispose of any land without the approval of the Minister.

Motörhead Frontman Lemmy Kilmister Has Died at Age 70
R.I.P. Lemmy.
(Photo: Jim Dyson / Getty Images)
Ian Fraser Kilmister, 70, the legendary lead vocalist and bassist of Motörhead known to friends and fans as Lemmy, died Monday after a brief battle with cancer.
The news of Lemmy's death was first reported by radio and TV personality Eddie Trunk and confirmed by Ozzy Osbourne, who wrote on Twitter, "Lost one of my best friends, Lemmy, today. He will be sadly missed. He was a warrior and a legend. I will see you on the other side."
In a statement posted to Facebook, Motörhead wrote, "There is no easy way to say this…our mighty, noble friend Lemmy passed away today after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer.
"He had learnt of the disease on December 26th, and was at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game from the Rainbow which had recently made it's way down the street, with his family. We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren't words. We will say more in the coming days, but for now, please… play Motörhead loud."
Lemmy had suffered from numerous health issues stemming from his famously excessive lifestyle as frontman, chief songwriter, bassist and founding member of Motörhead. The seminal hard rock group sold 30 million albums since its formation in 1975, but is perhaps best known for its 1980 anthem "Ace of Spades."
In 2013, Lemmy had a defibrillator implanted in his chest to keep his heart from stopping. He's also dealt with a tour-canceling hematoma and a bout of gastric illness in recent years. However, much like his fellow rock icon Keith Richards, many considered Lemmy to be indestructible despite his hard-living ways.
He famously claimed he drank a bottle of Jack Daniel's every day since turning 30, and was an enthusiastic proponent of amphetamines for decades. Recently, Lemmy joked that he had switched from drinking whiskey to vodka for "health reasons," reports Consequence of Sound.
For now, let's take a moment to remember him with his most famous song.
RIP, Lemmy.

Q: Are there any comics that I should read before watching Captain America: The First Avenger? Let's assume I know almost nothing about Captain America or Avengers or MCU. I know he has a vibranium shield, and was a product of drinking super-serum during WWII that turned him from a geeky dweeb into a superhero. I'm generally familiar with many other Marvel characters, mostly from this site or reading Marvel's Wikis.
Are there any comics (old time or recent) that I should read first to allow meaningfully better understanding of what is happening in the film, or its enjoyment?
When I say "meaningfully" I mean that the comic adds more information than would simply be imparted by a 2-sentence summary about a character or event on Marvel Wiki.
This includes things that illuminate the backstory, or any film details - even if the comics are in a different non-MCU Earth canonically.

A: There is no need to read any comics to understand the MCU movies.
The MCU is structured and presented in such a way that you know everything you need to know about each successive movie so long as you've seen the previous movies (and whether you prefer release order or chronological order is a personal decision, but in my experience release order tends to make more sense with after-credits scenes and such.) It's not necessary to read the comics to understand the movies. You are given all the information you need in order to understand them, so long as you watch (most of) the films
However, various people involved with the film like to insert easter-eggs.
Various movies have various comic callbacks. Most movie storylines in the MCU are derived from comic storylines, but have their own tweaking so as to make them more appealing to a viewing audience and create an over-arching plotline that allows massive team-ups such as Avengers: Infinity War (2018) or Avengers: Endgame (2019). Thanos's blade that he fights with is similar to the blade of the Thanos-Copter (from the comics), for example, and Howard the Duck makes multiple appearances in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and in What If...?. There are countless other comics references in the MCU, but they're generally meant to appeal to those who read the comics prior to the MCU or are just comic fans in general.

A: Don't listen to this guy he is only half right. There is a timeline you should try to follow, like star wars it didn't release in the order they actually are to be watched in. Like many I have also spent the last few months preparing my movie and series list including MCU prequels, comic releases, shorts and even web links for just about each movie. I'm currently working on each prequel putting the comics into an audio visual to make everything simply click able an playable. Its alot of work trying to find each series throughout Disney, neflix, hulu, freeform and even Google free online multi ad streaming mirror sites but they do work and they are all online. . Currently. There is only one accurate timeline online an it is an excel spreadsheet 0it into a sophisticated web url. Coppy an paste that an choose your filters a few times to get the hardcore fan version.
Good luck watching all of this before

Raised in Ct., now residing in Florida, Jaybee is definitely one to keep your eye on. With releases forthcoming on Liquid V, Chronic, Mac II, Good Looking, Innerground,Rubik, and a slew of other labels his music keeps going from strength to strength. Born to a radio DJ father he was raised listening to slew of different music genres that led him to hip hop and later on, drum and bass. Always fascinated with watching the dj's in hip hop videos, Jaybee obtained his first set of turntables at the age of 13 and started playing hip hop. A few years later he was intrigued by a friends "techno" compilation and wore out the hit the decks megamix series tape and found his love in breakbeats which led him to a outlaw Jungle party thrown by Digital Konfusion. It was at this event that Jaybee first discovered Jungle while witnessing DJ ODI double set ray Kieth's "terrorist", discovering it was possible to incorporate hip hop skills into Jungle. Flash forward 20 years and you can find him djing a weekly show on bassdrive.com every Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. EST. as well as doing A&R/running Stepping Forward or in the studio working on whatever idea may roll through his head that day. His music is currently getting support by the likes of Bryan Gee, Randall, LTJ Bukem, Marky, D Bridge, A-Sides, PFM and Random Movement amongst a host of others.

WebSocket is a correspondences convention for a constant, bi-directional, full duplex TCP association from a client's internet browser to a server.
The WebSocket convention empowers association between a web customer, (for example, a program) and a web server with lower overheads, encouraging continuous information exchange from and to the server.
WebSockets can be exceptionally advantageous for building real-time correspondence or information spilling applications on the web, for example, talk applications and applications that stream pictures or different kinds of media.
Why WebSockets instead of HTTP(S)?
With WebSockets you can build up a persistent connection, which takes into account bidirectional correspondence among client and server. These days, you will generally discover REST constructed APIs in light of the web, which is based upon HTTP. These APIs are devoured as pursues: The customer asks for a page or asset and the server reacts (ask for response).
WebSockets are bi-directional, which means the server can send information to a program without requesting it. This implies applications that require the continuous trade of data should be possible over a standard web convention. Since WebSockets needn't bother with the HTTP ask for when making an association, there is a noteworthy decrease of pointless HTTP header activity.
With a WebSocket, you never again need to sit tight for a demand before it sends new information; it will naturally send the information to the customer the minute there is new data.
HTTP is a stateless protocol, thus the overhead of the HTTP header is added to every single message, which can get quite large in size.
Moreover, the HTTP connection will usually only keep alive for a certain amount of requests and will be closed after some time of being idle.
Thus connections will quite frequently have to be reestablished, which introduces an initial setup time due to the TCP 3-Way Handshake (and exchanging certificate and key pairs in case of HTTPS).
Using WebSockets binary data of arbitrary size can stream essentially between client and server.
Let's see PHP Chat application implementation using Web Socket.
At client side, we will have to write some HTML code to create chat interface and jQuery code which contains method and events of the WebSocket.
Add below PHP code that will pick up random color for the Username to display in Chat window.
Add HTML for Chat interface which will display Chat panel and Fields to enter User name and Message.
After opening the socket connection, we have to write some event handlers that will return status of socket connection, errors, and incoming messages.
//create a new WebSocket object.
We will write methods to send the message to WebSocket on click of Send button from the chat box.
send_message() method will call when user will click on Send button or Press Enter in Chat message text box. This method will convert chat message, username, color data into JSON format and send it to WebSocket server.
So now Chat page is ready which will connect to server. We also need to implement WebSocket Server in PHP that will run permanently, send and receive data from Chat Page.
This server will run in background to keep WebSocket connection established.
If Sockets extension is not enabled, enable extension (extension=php_sockets.dll) on server from php.ini file.
Need to create a socket, binding address to the socket, listen to incoming connections with below code.
Then we will write code to accept new connections, remove disconnected clients from list, and send messages to connected clients.
Below function will send messages to each connected clients.
Being a PHP developer you are surely aware that now PHP code will check new connection request if any new connection request then it will accept the request and perform a handshake with new socket resource. And then send acknowledgment about connectivity.
Once handshake performed successfully, the client can send and receive messages. Data which client will sent will be encrypted, so data need to mask and unmasked to send and receive it to the client.
We are done with Chat server implementation, now we have to start Chat server.
Open command prompt and run below command to start chat server.
Now you can open index.php (http://localhost/socketchat/index.php) from browser, that will display Chat window with message that socket is connected. And now user can start using Chat functionality.
When there is need of real-time data, WebSocket is the solution in place of HTTP requests. Chat is just an example here, but we can use WebSocket for other requirements also like display tasks add/update/delete real time, display tasks and status updates as soon as that trigger.

Q: Array Declaration and Access Verilog I am trying to create a 32 bit array with 10 spaces in Verilog. Here is the code:
reg [31:0] internalMemory [0:9];

I then try to assign 32 bit values to different locations inside that register. Here is a code sample:
internalMemory[0] = 32'b00000000001000100001100000100000;
internalMemory[1] = 32'b00000000001000100001100000100001;

When compiling I get the following error:
IR.v:21: syntax error
IR.v:21: error: Invalid module instantiation

That line 21 represents me trying to access internalMemory[1].
Any advice as for why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks!
UPDATE 1:
As requested here is there code for the Instruction Register I am trying to implement:
`include "IRTester.v"
module instruction_register(IREnable, programCounter, controlUnit, RS, RT, RD, immediate);

parameter  dataWidth = 32; //input size

input wire IREnable;
input wire  [31:0] programCounter; //instruction to be read
output wire [5:0] controlUnit;
output wire [4:0] RS;
output wire [4:0] RT;
output wire [4:0] RD;
output wire [15:0] immediate;

wire [31:0] temp;
reg [31:0] internalMemory [0:9];

always @ (posedge IREnable)

    internalMemory[0] = 32'b00000000001000100001100000100000;
    internalMemory[1] = 32'b00000000001000100001100000100001;

    assign temp = internalMemory[programCounter];
    assign controlUnit = temp[31:26];
    assign RS = temp[25:21];
    assign RT = temp[20:16];
    assign RD = temp[15:11];
    assign immediate = temp[15:0];

endmodule

A: You have to use begin/end
always @ (posedge IREnable) begin
    internalMemory[0] = 32'b00000000001000100001100000100000;
    internalMemory[1] = 32'b00000000001000100001100000100001;
end

A:     always @ (posedge IREnable)

    internalMemory[0] = 32'b00000000001000100001100000100000;
    internalMemory[1] = 32'b00000000001000100001100000100001;

    assign temp = internalMemory[programCounter];
    assign controlUnit = temp[31:26];
    assign RS = temp[25:21];
    assign RT = temp[20:16];
    assign RD = temp[15:11];
    assign immediate = temp[15:0];

endmodule

in this code, you coded always block without any  begin - end. so that, when you execute the code, the line very next to always ( internalMemory[0] = 32'b00000000001000100001100000100000; ) will considered as in always block; as behavioural. that is why the next line shows error, since it is supposed to be in data-flow.
.

A: You cannot use assign statements inside always block. Get them out.

Rally Awards • Recruitment Marketing
Q&A With Tricia Day, Recruitment Marketing Rising Star
by Lori Sylvia
Written by	Lori Sylvia
Learn how Tricia Day built a global employer brand team and strategy that earned her recognition as a Recruitment Marketing Rising Star at the 2021 Rally Awards.
One of the challenges we hear from many Recruitment Marketing professionals in our community is that they're a one-person team, working with many stakeholders across their organization and wearing many hats in their role and responsibilities.
Tricia Day started out as a team of one as the first recruitment marketer at Appian 3 years ago. Since then she has worked hard to demonstrate how impactful Recruitment Marketing and employer branding is, which has led Tricia to get buy-in from the company and secure more resources and budget. In fact, Tricia has spent the past year building a global employer brand team and strategy. The incredible impact of her work and how she's grown her Recruitment Marketing team is what made Tricia one of this year's Recruitment Marketing Rising Star winners at the 2021 Rally Awards!
The Rally Awards celebrate excellence in Recruitment Marketing and employer branding practices that attract and recruit talent through social and digital channels, as well as practitioners who have demonstrated how they've moved the needle to make a difference at their organization.
Our Recruitment Marketing Rising Star award recognizes practitioners who have spent between 1-3 years in a Recruitment Marketing role. This is a person who has helped to transform the talent acquisition strategy for their company into one that is brand-led and marketing-driven, and distinguished themselves as a future leader of our profession. In 2021, Rally named three Rising Stars!
Meet Tricia Day, 2021 Rally Awards Recruitment Marketing Rising Star
Tricia Day, Recruitment Marketing Rising Star in the 2021 Rally Awards
Tricia leads Appian's Global Employer Brand team of talented Recruitment Marketing and content production professionals.
Launching a Recruitment Marketing function for a global company in less than 3 years is no small feat and that's what Tricia has built at Appian. She started out as a one-person team and has now built a 4 person Global Employer Brand team, and all during the pandemic!
This year her team launched Appian's new careers site and re-launched their blog with a focus on employee storytelling and advocacy with compelling content, and they've already seen an increase in traffic and social media engagement.
It's clear the Recruitment Marketing work her team is accomplishing is resonating with candidates, so we connected with Tricia to learn more about her approach, building a team from scratch and what's next for her.
Q&A with Tricia Day, Global Employer Brand Manager, Appian
Rally: We hear time and time again how most practitioners just "fell" into Recruitment Marketing, how did you get started in Recruitment Marketing?
Tricia: I attended a conference in 2018 and it was my first time hearing about the role of Recruitment Marketing. While I studied marketing in school, I ended up working as a recruiter, but I always had this itch to leverage more of my creative side in my everyday work. At that time, a few other recruiters and I were ad hoc running our AppianLife Instagram account and posting a lot of fun videos.
When I came back from this conference I shared my interest in Recruitment Marketing with my boss, and told her I would love to do it! We created the first Recruitment Marketing role at Appian and I was in that role for about a year and a half before I moved into managing our global employer brand and started building out our team.
Rally: What do you enjoy most about working in this space?
Tricia: What I enjoy most is the community and the people in the space — they're incredibly welcoming. When I started in Recruitment Marketing, one of my first big projects was swapping the CRM we had at the time. I had zero coding background and needed to identify an easier user interface. I attended events, met a lot of people and reached out in a Facebook group asking for advice on CRM recommendations. I had a bunch of people responding and offering to jump on a call with me to chat and share experiences.
Practitioners were so willing to help! It was refreshing and awesome to see how much everyone in the Recruitment Marketing and employer branding space wants to help and see each other succeed.
Rally: What skills do you think are important for other recruitment marketers who are looking to forge their path in this space?
Tricia: A willingness to try new things, stay educated with market trends, and not being afraid to go against the grain are important skills in this field. It's a fast-moving industry, and what sparked candidates' interest one day will be quickly replaced with something else the next day. My team members have brought these new elements when they joined and I've seen so many exciting new things come to fruition. Setting a space for creatives to speak their minds and test new things has created this awesome morale and team dynamic. I feel really lucky to work alongside them every day.
Being able to develop partnerships with stakeholders is also really important. Making sure you're bringing in the right internal teams to partner with, especially marketing. It's a common trend I see in the industry that there's often a big separation from Recruitment Marketing and employer branding and marketing teams, but we're so much more powerful working together.
When you develop strong partnerships with departments, you're supporting and uplifting each other, so it's truly a win-win. They can also start to see and understand the breadth and impact of the work we do to uplift our employer brand.
Rally: Can you walk us through what projects you're most proud of to date?
Tricia: I'm most proud of the work that my team has produced over the past year of the pandemic. We launched our new careers site, which had a quick turnaround — we notified our new website vendor in February and published it at the end of March!
This past quarter we also did our first large-scale brand campaign in partnership with our marketing team that was really innovative. To say I'm proud of the team is an understatement! It started with the idea of driving more awareness of Appian in the DC market and turned into us leveraging new tools like large editorial platforms such as the Washington Post and the Washington Business Journal, and advertising across Reddit, Google ads and even NPR radio. All things we had never tapped into before.
We worked with our PR team throughout to create this really well-rounded brand awareness campaign that tied our culture, our product and industry all in one. It was a huge team effort and success.
Rally: As a Recruitment Marketing Rising Star, what's next for you in your career?
Tricia: My biggest focus right now is continuing to develop the team at Appian. It's been awesome to see others on the team bring fresh ideas and new skill sets. It's been a lot of learning for all of us as we've grown during the pandemic and being virtual. The launch of our EVP is our next big project that's involved a lot of research and effort. I'm excited for this to roll out soon!
Rally: Any final words of wisdom for our Rally community?
Tricia: Immerse yourself in the Recruitment Marketing community, especially if you're trying to get into the field. Don't be afraid to try new things and reach out to others. Attending virtual conferences and joining online groups really set such a positive stage for me starting in Recruitment Marketing and showed me this great community we have to lean on.
Rally: Thanks so much Tricia, and congrats again! That's exactly the community we aim to bring together here at Rally so it's wonderful to hear about your positive experience and how you've grown in your career and with your team in Recruitment Marketing.

Adding new smartphones to the family's wireless plan can be a scary endeavor, especially as most of us have already seen our wireless bills for just one smartphone surge above $100 a month.
Are there any tips for getting hot devices like the iPhone 5 at a discount? Is there a trick to avoiding taking out a second mortgage to pay for an additional smartphone on the family plan? In this edition of Ask Maggie, I offer some advice. I also offer my views on whether it's really worth it to buy the iPhone 4S instead of the iPhone 5.
We are considering getting our daughter an iPhone 5 for her 18th birthday at the end of the month. Are there any tricks to doing so cheaply? My husband has an iPhone through work, but we pay a ton for mine! Our bill for my iPhone on Verizon Wireless is $108 a month (with taxes) plus we do not have an upgrade yet. So I am guessing that we'll have to pay full price for her phone, which is $500-600? Any tips???
The short answer to your question is that there isn't much you can do right now to get a discount on a new iPhone 5. But when it comes to the service, there is some good news. Adding a new iPhone 5 to Verizon's family share plan might not be as bad as you think. But you may want to consider some other alternatives as well. Below I've outlined as many options as I can think of to help you make an informed decision.
You've got a couple of options. You can get the subsidized $200 price on the iPhone 5 for any new line you start as part of your service. This means that if your daughter doesn't have a phone already and you add a new line to a family plan, you can get the discounted price for the iPhone 5. If she already has a phone and is not yet ready for an upgrade, then you would have to buy the iPhone 5 from Verizon at full price, which is $500.
The other option is to sign up for a new line, get the subsidized phone, and keep her old line until it expires. After it expires, you can cancel service on that line. This would mean that your family would temporarily have three lines: yours, your daughter's and a third non-smartphone line. The third phone line can be used for someone else in the family or you can cancel it once the contract on that phone expires.
If you plan to take the subsidy so you save $300 on the new iPhone 5, and you later plan to cancel the old line, it's only worth doing so if the contract expires in the next 10 months. Otherwise, you won't save yourself any money since carrying the additional line until you can cancel is another $30 a month under Verizon's family share plan.
Unfortunately, if you have to pay for a new iPhone 5 at full price without a subsidy, there aren't any good deals right now. It's still too soon in the sales cycle to get a used iPhone 5 at a discount. But if you wait until after the holidays, there is a chance the price could drop about $50.
The other option is to get your daughter an iPhone 4S. It's last year's model and sells brand new for $100 less than the iPhone 5. And you may be able to find a used one for even less. I don't generally recommend doing this, but a $100 saved is a $100 earned. So you may want to consider it.
As for getting a deal on the plans, you've essentially got two options. You can give up your existing plan on Verizon and convert to a family Share Plan on Verizon. The other option is to keep your existing plan for your phone, and you can sign up your daughter for an iPhone plan on a different carrier.
AT&T and Sprint also offer the iPhone 5. Getting a new contract with AT&T or Sprint means you get the subsidized price. So you could get a new contract for her on one of these providers and pay only $200 for the device. But going this route would likely cost you more money on the service. Assuming you keep your iPhone service on Verizon, you could get AT&T's least expensive individual plan, which is $90 a month before taxes and fees. Sprint's least expensive plan is $80 a month before taxes and fees. Adding this to your existing $108 a month bill means you'd be paying about $190 to $200 a month for service for the both of you.
But don't fret yet, there are less expensive options.
There may also be some prepaid operators in your area offering the iPhone 5. For example, Cricket Wireless, owned by Leap Wireless, sells the iPhone 5. T-Mobile is another option. It doesn't sell the iPhone, but because it's a GSM carrier, an unlocked GSM version of an iPhone can work on its network. Going this route, means that you'd be paying full retail for the iPhone 5.
One thing to note is that because T-Mobile doesn't officially offer the iPhone, you have to get an unlocked GSM version of the phone. If you use Cricket, you must buy the iPhone 5 through Cricket either online or in one of its retail or partner locations. You can't use an unlocked iPhone 5 from Apple or any other carrier on Cricket's network.
To help you really make the apples to apples comparison (no pun intended), I've taken a closer look at Verizon, T-Mobile and Cricket to give you an idea of what the service costs are.
On Verizon's new family share plan, you pay $40 for each smartphone on your plan, which totals $80 a month for two smartphones. Data is a separate charge, and you can buy it in different increments. I'd recommend a minimum of 2GB of data for you and your daughter, which is $60 a month. This means that you'd be spending a total of $140 a month before taxes and fees. But keep in mind this includes unlimited talk and texting, plus free Wi-Fi hotspot tethering.
If you wanted to add another 2GB of data, it would be $10 more a month. So that would be a total of $150 a month before taxes and fees. (4G of data is $70 a month.) You are already paying $108 a month for voice, text and data. Since I don't know what the pre-tax cost of your plan is, it's difficult to compare precisely. But it's roughly a difference of $32 or $42 a month.
If you wanted to get the phone subsidy for the new iPhone and keep your daughter's existing line until it expires or for another member of your family, you'd pay an additional $30 a month. The total would then be $170 or $180 a month, depending on which data plan you get for the two smartphones.
One thing to consider when comparing different services is network coverage and speed. On Verizon, your daughter will be able to access 4G LTE speeds nationwide. Verizon has the biggest 4G LTE network deployed today. And since she'll be going off to college soon, the phone is likely to work wherever she decides to go.
The downside is that you will have to share data with her, which means you will both have to monitor your usage to ensure you don't exceed your monthly allotment. But given that most people don't exceed even 1GB of data per month, you should be fine with a 2GB or a 4GB plan.
One benefit of having a service from T-Mobile is that the company doesn't charge for data overages. So even if she exceeds 2GB of data in a month, her service will just be slowed down, and you won't have any surprises on your bill.
The other important downside to note is that the iPhone 5 will not operate on T-Mobile's 3G HSPA or 4G HSPA+ network everywhere it's offered. The reason is that T-Mobile is using AWS spectrum for these services, and the the iPhone 5 (and other iPhones) do not support AWS frequencies. But T-Mobile is repurposing some of its spectrum, and it has a plan to use PCS 1900 MHz spectrum for its HSPA+ service. This also happens to be one of the frequencies that AT&T uses for its HSPA and HSPA+ services. Since the iPhone 5 supports HSPA+ in the PCS band, these devices will operate at fast speeds. But T-Mobile has only announced two markets so far that are using the PCS spectrum to deliver HSPA+ service: Las Vegas and Kansas City. That said, T-Mobile plans to upgrade more cities soon including Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and the New York metro area. In fact, some T-Mobile subscribers are already seeing improved speeds in some of these additional markets.
Another potential problems is that T-Mobile doesn't currently support 4G LTE service. But it plans on deploying the service over the next couple of years. Still, even after it starts building the LTE service, the current generation of the iPhone 5 likely will not be able to use this network.
Cricket's prepaid, no-contract plan offers unlimited voice, text and data up to 1GB for $55 a month and that includes all taxes and fees. Combining that with your $108 Verizon service is a total of $163 a month.
But there are a couple of things you need to consider when you sign up for Cricket's service. The first thing is to make sure that Cricket operates in your area. The company claims to have a nationwide network built on a combination of its own network as well as roaming partners. But the network doesn't quite reach everywhere. Also, because Cricket only uses PCS spectrum in certain markets, and it uses AWS spectrum in others, there are some markets where Cricket doesn't offer the iPhone at all. And lastly, even if you are in an area where Cricket can sell the iPhone, you still won't be able to get 4G LTE service, because the frequencies in the iPhone and the frequencies that Cricket is using to deploy this service are incompatible.
When you consider price, coverage and network performance, I'd recommend that you add your daughter to your Verizon plan and get a Family Share plan for the two of you. In terms of pricing, it will likely be cheaper than buying an individual plan for her from another carrier and keeping your existing iPhone plan. Plus, she will be getting better network coverage and faster speeds.
The family share service isn't cheap and it does restrict you to a certain degree. But I think even with the data limits, it's still a better deal with better network coverage and network performance than what you will get with an iPhone on these other carriers' networks.
I am curious if you think I should buy the iPhone 4S or the iPhone 5. I would like to upgrade from my iPhone 4 on AT&T. I already have a ton of accessories, ie chargers, speakers etc. for the iPhone 4. I'm unsure whether it's worth the extra money to get connectors, charging accessories, etc. for the iPhone 5. It's also worth mentioning I currently have a grandfathered unlimited data plan with AT&T, but there is no 4G coverage in my area. So I don't think I need it. And I also don't know if I'd still be able to get the unlimited data plan for the 4G iPhone 5.
In general, I suggest that people buy the latest iPhone mainly because Apple only introduces one iPhone a year. And when you buy a new iPhone, you'll likely keep it for two years, since that's that length of your contract. If you get last year's model iPhone when the new one is already out, the technology in the device is at a minimum a year old. And in the fast paced world of cell phone technology, that's a long time.
What's more, by keeping up with the latest in hardware from Apple, you are assured that if you keep that device well past your two year contract, Apple will probably still be supporting the device. And the new software updates that come out will also be supported on the device.
More from Ask Maggie The big squeeze: How to get the most out of your wireless plan Apple Maps stinks, iOS 6 leaks data: Should I get the iPhone 5? iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S3? And why Sprint LTE isn't enough Ask Maggie is back! Which iPhone 5 is right for you? Will AT&T's LTE network be more reliable than 3G for the iPhone?
Even though 4G LTE is not offered where you live now, it may be coming in the next year or so. Since you didn't mention where you live I can't say for certain. But AT&T is expanding its network. So there is a chance that you may get the 4G LTE coverage before your new cell phone contract expires.
And finally, you are able to keep your unlimited data plan if you upgrade to an iPhone 5. It doesn't matter which device you upgrade to. So long as you have not made any changes to your plan like adding a tethering service, you will be able to keep the unlimited data.
So what do I think you should do? I would probably buy the newer version of the phone. But if keeping costs low is your main priority, I think you'll be fine with an iPhone 4S.
For phone calls from Turkey to other countries the best to use AT&T calling card.
International calls from United States will be more cheaper for your purse with CheapStreet international calling card.
The best way to make a call from United Kingdom other country is calling card Royal Call.

Excerpt: 'Love and Math'
By Edward Frenkel
There's a secret world out there. A hidden parallel universe of beauty and elegance, intricately intertwined with ours. It's the world of mathematics. And it's invisible to most of us. This book is an invitation to discover this world.
Consider this paradox: On the one hand, mathematics is woven in the very fabric of our daily lives. Every time we make an online purchase, send a text message, do a search on the Internet, or use a GPS device, mathematical formulas and algorithms are at play. On the other hand, most people are daunted by math. It has become, in the words of poet Hans Magnus Enzensberger, "a blind spot in our culture – alien territory, in which only the elite, the initiated few have managed to entrench themselves." It's rare, he says, that we "encounter a person who asserts vehemently that the mere thought of reading a novel, or looking at a picture, or seeing a movie causes him insufferable torment," but "sensible, educated people" often say "with a remarkable blend of defiance and pride" that math is "pure torture" or a "nightmare" that "turns them off."
How is this anomaly possible? I see two main reasons. First, mathematics is more abstract than other subjects, hence not as accessible. Second, what we study in school is only a tiny part of math, much of it established more than a millennium ago. Mathematics has advanced tremendously since then, but the treasures of modern math have been kept hidden from most of us.
What if at school you had to take an "art class" in which you were only taught how to paint a fence? What if you were never shown the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci and Picasso? Would that make you appreciate art? Would you want to learn more about it? I doubt it. You would probably say something like this: "Learning art at school was a waste of my time. If I ever need to have my fence painted, I'll just hire people to do this for me." Of course, this sounds ridiculous, but this is how math is taught, and so in the eyes of most of us it becomes the equivalent of watching paint dry. While the paintings of the great masters are readily available, the math of the great masters is locked away.
However, it's not just the aesthetic beauty of math that's captivating. As Galileo famously said, "The laws of Nature are written in the language of mathematics." Math is a way to describe reality and figure out how the world works, a universal language that has become the gold standard of truth. In our world, increasingly driven by science and technology, mathematics is becoming, ever more, the source of power, wealth, and progress. Hence those who are fluent in this new language will be on the cutting edge of progress.
One of the common misconceptions about mathematics is that it can only be used as a "toolkit": a biologist, say, would do some field work, collect data, and then try to build a mathematical model fitting these data (perhaps, with some help from a mathematician). While this is an important mode of operation, math offers us a lot more: it enables us to make groundbreaking, paradigm-shifting leaps that we couldn't make otherwise. For example, Albert Einstein was not trying to fit any data into equations when he understood that gravity causes our space to curve. In fact, there was no such data. No one could even imagine at the time that our space is curved; everyone "knew" that our world was flat! But Einstein understood that this was the only way to generalize his special relativity theory to non-inertial systems, coupled with his insight that gravity and acceleration have the same effect. This was a high-level intellectual exercise within the realm of math, one in which Einstein relied on the work of a mathematician, Bernhard Riemann, completed fifty years earlier. The human brain is wired in such a way that we simply cannot imagine curved spaces of dimension greater than two; we can only access them through mathematics. And guess what, Einstein was right – our universe is curved, and furthermore, it's expanding. That's the power of mathematics I am talking about!
Many examples like this may be found, and not only in physics, but in other areas of science (we will discuss some of them below). History shows that science and technology are transformed by mathematical ideas at an accelerated pace; even mathematical theories that are initially viewed as abstract and esoteric later become indispensable for applications. Charles Darwin, whose work at first did not rely on math, later wrote in his autobiography: "I have deeply regretted that I did not proceed far enough at least to understand something of the great leading principles of mathematics, for men thus endowed seem to have an extra sense." I take it as prescient advice to the next generations to capitalize on mathematics' immense potential.
When I was growing up, I wasn't aware of the hidden world of mathematics. Like most people, I thought math was a stale, boring subject. But I was lucky:
in my last year of high school I met a professional mathematician who opened the magical world of math to me. I learned that mathematics is full of infinite possibilities as well as elegance and beauty, just like poetry, art, and music. I fell in love with math.
Dear reader, with this book I want to do for you what my teachers and men- tors did for me: unlock the power and beauty of mathematics, and enable you to enter this magical world the way I did, even if you are the sort of person who has never used the words "math" and "love" in the same sentence. Mathematics will get under your skin just like it did under mine, and your worldview will never be the same.
Mathematical knowledge is unlike any other knowledge. While our perception of the physical world can always be distorted, our perception of mathematical truths can't be. They are objective, persistent, necessary truths. A mathematical formula or theorem means the same thing to anyone anywhere – no matter what gender, religion, or skin color; it will mean the same thing to anyone a thousand years from now. And what's also amazing is that we own all of them. No one can patent a mathematical formula, it's ours to share. There is nothing in this world that is so deep and exquisite and yet so readily available to all. That such a reservoir of knowledge really exists is nearly unbelievable. It's too precious to be given away to the "initiated few." It belongs to all of us.
One of the key functions of mathematics is the ordering of information. This is what distinguishes the brush strokes of Van Gogh from a mere blob of paint. With the advent of 3D printing, the reality we are used to is undergoing a radical transformation: everything is migrating from the sphere of physical objects to the sphere of information and data. We will soon be able to convert information into matter on demand by using 3D printers just as easily as we now convert a PDF file into a book or an MP3 file into a piece of music. In this brave new world, the role of mathematics will become even more central: as the way to organize and order information, and as the means to facilitate the conversion of information into physical reality.
In this book, I will describe one of the biggest ideas to come out of mathematics in the last fifty years: the Langlands Program, considered by many as the Grand Unified Theory of mathematics. It's a fascinating theory that weaves a web of tantalizing connections between mathematical fields that at first glance seem to be light years apart: algebra, geometry, number theory, analysis, and quantum physics. If we think of those fields as continents in the hidden world of mathematics, then the Langlands Program is the ultimate teleportation device, capable of getting us instantly from one of them to another, and back.
Launched in the late 1960s by Robert Langlands, the mathematician who currently occupies Albert Einstein's office at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the Langlands Program had its roots in a groundbreaking mathematical theory of symmetry. Its foundations were laid two centuries ago by a French prodigy, just before he was killed in a duel, at age twenty. It was subsequently enriched by another stunning discovery, which not only led to the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, but revolutionized the way we think about numbers and equations. Yet another penetrating insight was that mathematics has its own Rosetta stone and is full of mysterious analogies and metaphors. Following these analogies as creeks in the enchanted land of math, the ideas of the Langlands Program spilled into the realms of geometry and quantum physics, creating order and harmony out of seeming chaos.
I want to tell you about all this to expose the sides of mathematics we rarely get to see: inspiration, profound ideas, startling revelations. Mathematics is a way to break the barriers of the conventional, an expression of unbounded imagination in the search for truth. Georg Cantor, creator of the theory of infinity, wrote: "The essence of mathematics lies in its freedom." Mathematics teaches us to rigorously analyze reality, study the facts, follow them wherever they lead. It liberates us from dogmas and prejudice, nurtures the capacity for innovation. It thus provides tools that transcend the subject itself.
Love & Math
The Heart of Hidden Reality. By Edward Frenkel.Basic Books. 292 pages. $27.99.
These tools can be used for good and for ill, forcing us to reckon with math's real-world effects. For example, the global economic crisis was caused to a large extent by the widespread use of inadequate mathematical models in the financial markets. Many of the decision makers didn't fully understand these models due to their mathematical illiteracy, but were arrogantly using them anyway – driven by greed – until this practice almost wrecked the entire system. They were taking unfair advantage of the asymmetric access to information and hoping that no one would call their bluff because others weren't inclined to ask how these mathematical models worked either. Perhaps, if more people understood how these models functioned, how the system really worked, we wouldn't have been fooled for so long.
As another example, consider this: in 1996, a commission appointed by the U.S. government gathered in secret and altered a formula for the Consumer Price Index, the measure of inflation that determines the tax brackets, Social Security, Medicare, and other indexed payments. Tens of millions of Americans were affected, but there was little public discussion of the new formula and its consequences. And recently there was another attempt to exploit this arcane formula as a backdoor on the U.S. economy.
Far fewer of these sorts of backroom deals could be made in a mathematically literate society. Mathematics equals rigor plus intellectual integrity times reliance on facts. We should all have access to the mathematical knowledge and tools needed to protect us from arbitrary decisions made by the powerful few in an increasingly math-driven world. Where there is no mathematics, there is no freedom.
Mathematics is as much part of our cultural heritage as art, literature, and music. As humans, we have a hunger to discover something new, reach new meaning, understand better the universe and our place in it. Alas, we can't discover a new continent like Columbus or be the first to set foot on the Moon. But what if I told you that you don't have to sail across an ocean or fly into space to discover the wonders of the world? They are right here, intertwined with our present reality. In a sense, within us. Mathematics directs the flow of the universe, lurks behind its shapes and curves, holds the reins of everything from tiny atoms to the biggest stars.
This book is an invitation to this rich and dazzling world. I wrote it for readers without any background in mathematics. If you think that math is hard, that you won't get it, if you are terrified by math, but at the same time curious whether there is something there worth knowing – then this book is for you.
There is a common fallacy that one has to study mathematics for years to appreciate it. Some even think that most people have an innate learning disability when it comes to math. I disagree: most of us have heard of and have at least a rudimentary understanding of such concepts as the solar system, atoms and elementary particles, the double helix of DNA, and much more, without taking courses in physics and biology. And nobody is surprised that these sophisticated ideas are part of our culture, our collective consciousness. Likewise, everybody can grasp key mathematical concepts and ideas, if they are explained in the right way. To do this, it is not necessary to study math for years; in many cases, we can cut right to the point and jump over tedious steps.
The problem is: while the world at large is always talking about planets, atoms, and DNA, chances are no one has ever talked to you about the fascinating ideas of modern math, such as symmetry groups, novel numerical systems in which 2 and 2 isn't always 4, and beautiful geometric shapes like Riemann surfaces. It's like they keep showing you a little cat and telling you that this is what a tiger looks like. But actually the tiger is an entirely different animal. I'll show it to you in all of its splendor, and you'll be able to appreciate its "fearful symmetry," as William Blake eloquently said.
Don't get me wrong: reading this book won't by itself make you a mathematician. Nor am I advocating that everyone should become a mathematician. Think about it this way: learning a small number of chords will enable you to play quite a few songs on a guitar. It won't make you the world's best guitar player, but it will enrich your life. In this book I will show you the chords of modern math, which have been hidden from you. And I promise that this will enrich your life.
One of my teachers, the great Israel Gelfand, used to say: "People think they don't understand math, but it's all about how you explain it to them. If you ask a drunkard what number is larger, 2/3 or 3/5, he won't be able to tell you. But if you rephrase the question: what is better, 2 bottles of vodka for 3 people or 3 bottles of vodka for 5 people, he will tell you right away: 2 bottles for 3 people, of course."
My goal is to explain this stuff to you in terms that you will understand.
I will also talk about my experience of growing up in the former Soviet Union, where mathematics became an outpost of freedom in the face of an oppressive regime. I was denied entrance to Moscow State University because of the discriminatory policies of the Soviet Union. The doors were slammed shut in front of me. I was an outcast. But I didn't give up. I would sneak into the University to attend lectures and seminars. I would read math books on my own, sometimes late at night. And in the end, I was able to hack the system. They didn't let me in through the front door; I flew in through a window. When you are in love, who can stop you?
Two brilliant mathematicians took me under their wings and became my mentors. With their guidance, I started doing mathematical research. I was still a college student, but I was already pushing the boundaries of the unknown. This was the most exciting time of my life, and I did it even though I was sure that the discriminatory policies would never allow me to have a job as a mathematician in the Soviet Union.
But there was a surprise in store: my first mathematical papers were smuggled abroad and became known, and I got invited to Harvard University as a Visiting Professor at age twenty-one. Miraculously, at exactly the same time perestroika in the Soviet Union lifted the iron curtain, and citizens were allowed to travel abroad. So there I was, a Harvard professor without a Ph.D., hacking the system once again. I continued on my academic path, which led me to research on the frontiers of the Langlands Program and enabled me to participate in some of the major advances in this area during the last twenty years. In what follows, I will describe spectacular results obtained by brilliant scientists as well as what happened behind the scenes.
This book is also about love. Once, I had a vision of a mathematician discovering the "formula of love," and this became the premise of a film Rites of Love and Math, which I will talk about later in the book. Whenever I show the film, someone always asks: "Does a formula of love really exist?"
My response: "Every formula we create is a formula of love." Mathematics is the source of timeless profound knowledge, which goes to the heart of all matter and unites us across cultures, continents, and centuries. My dream is that all of us will be able to see, appreciate, and marvel at the magic beauty and exquisite harmony of these ideas, formulas, and equations, for this will give so much more meaning to our love for this world and for each other.
Edward Frenkel is Professor of Mathematics at University of California, Berkeley and author of "Love and Math."

Boise, Idaho Temple
Message from the designer: The Boise Idaho Temple is the 29th constructed and 27th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The temple is located in the city of Boise, Idaho.
LDS Church leaders discussed building a temple in the western part of Idaho as early as 1939. However, with the majority of church's membership in the eastern part of Idaho, the leaders decided against it and concentrated on building the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple.
Forty-five years later, on March 31, 1982, church leaders announced that a temple would be built in the Boise area. The temple site is located near an exit from Interstate 84 and is very visible to those traveling along the highway and is also a visible landmark for pilots at Boise Airport.
In 1984, 70,000 visitors were expected to tour the temple during the nineteen-day open house. Instead, over 128,000 attended. The open house brought an increased interest in the church. The Boise Idaho Temple was dedicated May 25, 1984 by Gordon B. Hinckley. After the dedication, attendance at the temple was much higher than expected. As a result, in October 1986, the temple was closed for renovation. After reopening in 1987, the temple was able to serve more than 100,000 members in southwestern Idaho and part of eastern Oregon.

Our regular yoga contributor Ruth from Yogaru writes a wonderful post once a month over on her blog about her favourite new things she's enjoying.
Ruth has very kindly allowed us to re-post these here on Happy Magazine and we're very grateful.
Ruth strives to live a yoga lifestyle both on and off the yoga mat – and her favourite things every month are always interesting and inspiring for those of us who are also looking to live better and feel better.
This month's favourite finds is very topical, covers many of my growing interests in environmental issues, and has the added seasonal bonus of giving plenty of Christmas stocking ideas too.
I recently encountered a gem of a little shop called The Sustainable Store in the heart of Blackrock Market, Dublin. It's mission is 'to bring plastic-free and chemical-free products to the local folk', and with the eminent launch of their website, to the national folks too. It's a little space that packs a punch for a sustainable future. One of those 'I'll have one of everything please' shops!
Each product is carefully researched and has to pass a rigorous test for environmental and ethical manufacturing before it qualifies to become a member of the family. They have done all the research for you to make it that bit easier for you to make a difference this Christmas.
Eliminating the plastic water bottle is the perfect place to start for anyone who is trying to reduce their single-use plastics, and the Jerry Bottle is a classic. Cutting out plastic water bottles from you life and refilling your Jerry Bottle can be one of your New Year's resolutions. 100% of Jerry Bottle profits go to supplying clean water projects in Tanzania and India with the Waterfall Charity and other organisations striving to provide clean water to those without. Jerry Bottle is passionate about the importance of water – after all, without it, there is no life on Earth.
As we become more health conscious as a nation, we're more inclined to bring wholesome, home-prepared lunches into school and work, unaware that we are undoing some of our good intentions by storing the food in plastic lunch boxes. Plastic is not only bad for the environment, storing food in plastic boxes can leek toxins into the food, particularly hot food. Stainless steel is clean, safe, durable and made to last. The stainless steel lunch boxes from A Slice of Green come in lots of different shapes and sizes. Many of them are also leak resistant which is definitely a perk when it comes to school lunch boxes.
One of my favourite items is the Bambu Spork – for the combination of it's handy inventiveness and the word 'spork'! A complete must-have and a fantastic stocking filler for anyone who eats food. In case it's not obvious, it's a spoon and a fork rolled into one compact little item. Made of bamboo it comes in a cork sleeve making it pocket ready for your weekend market brunching and munching, so you can proudly announce to the vendor that you won't be needing plastic single use cutlery, if you're so inclined. Bamboo is the fastest growing species of grass, it can grow a meter a day and doesn't need to be replanted after harvesting because of its sturdy root system, it requires no fertilisers or pesticides and it guzzles up carbon dioxide. So many reasons to start a spork revolution!
Plastic toothbrushes are in the limelight at the moment for their incredible ability to end up on our beaches and in our seas. Each toothbrush takes up to a thousand years to decompose and 3.6 billion plastic toothbrushes are used worldwide every year. A Georganics eco-friendly toothbrush is made from 100% biodegradable bamboo with soft and effective charcoal-infused bristles. The Georganics toothpastes are a completely natural and fluoride-free formula, made with vegan and organic ingredients. Their packaging is designed to be plastic-free, biodegradable and recyclable. They also have a range of oil pulling mouthwashes – following the ancient ayurvedic practice of oil pulling. It is said to reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth and offers a natural alternative to conventional mouthwash. These oils combine coconut oil, which is known for its antimicrobial properties, and other essential oils, to boost its properties and add a fresh after-taste.
We generate a huge amount of waste over the Christmas period with our binmen adding extra lifts to keep up with all the extra packaging. This Christmas why not add a theme of sustainability to your gift-giving to counteract the extra load? New good habits are easier to make at the start of a new year. Your new habits can make a big difference for the future.
All of these products, and many more, can be found in The Sustainable Store, Blackrock Market, Dublin. The best way to keep in touch with them is to follow them on Instagram to keep up to date on new products and the launch of their website in December.
