Q: If the characteristic polynomial and minimal polynomial are equal for square matrix $A$, how to prove that $AX=XA$ implies $X$ is a poly of $A$? Suppose $A \in \mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ is an $n$ by $n$ matrix over the field $\mathbb{C}$. Prove that the following two statements are equivalent.

*

*The (monic) characteristic polynomial of $A$ is equal to the minimal polynomial of $A$.

*For any $X \in \mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ satisfying $AX=XA$, there exists a polynomial $p$ such that $X=p(A)$.

Comments: I found that (2)=>(1) can be done by assuming that the Jordan form of $A$ can be split into two Jordan blocks corresponding to the same eigenvalue $\lambda$. Letting $D=\text{diag}\{1,1,\cdots,1,0,0,\cdots,0\}$ and setting $B=PDP^{-1}$, where $P$ is the Jordan basis of $A$, we can easily show that $AB=BA$ but $B$ is not a polynomial of $A$.
But for the (1)=>(2) direction, I still have no idea yet. Could someone help?

A: As $A$ is non-derogatory, $\mathbb C^n$ has an $A$-cyclic basis $\mathcal B=\{v,Av,A^2v,\ldots,A^{n-1}v\}$. Let $Xv=c_0v+c_1Av+\cdots+c_{n-1}A^{n-1}v$ and let $f$ be the polynomial $c_0+c_1x+\cdots+c_{n-1}x^{n-1}$. Since $A$ and $X$ commute, $XA^kv=A^kXv=A^kf(A)v=f(A)A^kv$ for each basis vector $A^kv$. Therefore $X=f(A)$ on $\mathcal B$ and in turn, $X=f(A)$ on $\mathbb C^n$.
PS, In your comments I see that you are interested in a proof using Jordan forms. Denote by $J_m(\lambda)$ a Jordan block of size $m$ for an eigenvalue $\lambda$. Suppose $A=J_{m_1}(\lambda_1)\oplus\cdots\oplus J_{m_r}(\lambda_r)$ where $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_r$ are distinct. As you may already know, it can be shown that when $X$ commutes with such an $A$, it must be in the form of $X_1\oplus\cdots\oplus X_r$ where $X_i=g_i\left(J_{m_i}(\lambda_i)\right)$ for some polynomial $g_i$.
It remains to construct a polynomial $f$ from $g_1,\ldots,g_r$ that makes $X=f(A)$. For each fixed $i$, let $p_i(x)=\prod_{k\ne i}(x-\lambda_k)^{m_k}$. Since all $\lambda_i$s are distinct, $p_i$ and $(x-\lambda_i)^{m_i}$ are coprime. Therefore, by Bézout's lemma, there exist two polynomials $a_i$ and $b_i$ such that
$$
a_i(x)p_i(x)+b_i(x)(x-\lambda_i)^{m_i}=1.
$$
It follows that $(a_ip_i)\left(J_{m_j}(\lambda_j)\right)$ is equal to $I_{m_i}$ when $j=i$, or $0$ when $j\ne i$. Therefore
\begin{aligned}
(a_ip_ig_i)(A)
&=(a_ip_ig_i)\left(J_{m_1}(\lambda_1)\right)
\oplus\cdots\oplus
(a_ip_ig_i)\left(J_{m_r}(\lambda_r)\right)\\
&=0\oplus\cdots\oplus0\oplus\underbrace{X_i}_{\text{$i$-th}}\oplus0\oplus\cdots\oplus0.
\end{aligned}
Consequently, $X=\sum_{i=1}^r(a_ip_ig_i)(A)$.

Pot noodle shop in Bournemouth got mistaken for a cannabis cafe (and residents weren't happy)
Pot Noodle shop mistaken for cannabis cafe in Bournemouth
By Jim Durkin
THE opening of a 'Pot Shop' in Bournemouth has caused quite a stir – with some locals fearing the premises encourages cannabis use.
However, the man behind the venture, artist Stuart Semple, says residents are mistaken, and that his 'art installation' is in fact a homage to pop artist Keith Haring – and the humble noodle pot.
Stuart said: "I am so sorry that people misunderstood the situation.
"The art installation I made sells rare imported pot noodles from around the globe and is in no way related to the use of illegal substances.
"It pays homage to one of my art heroes Keith Haring, and I've hand-painted the inside to salute his 1980s Pop Shop store that he made in New York City."
Haring's graffiti-like work grew out of the New York Street culture of the 1980s, and his shop in the city was popular with Madonna.
Stuart said: "I really thought the people of Bournemouth would enjoy the noodles, super cool magazines and vegan sugar free cakes for the kids.
"Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. I meant pot as in pot noodles – not pot as in drugs."
Some residents believed the shop, which is situated at Commercial Road, The Triangle, Bournemouth, could promote the use of marijuana and even called for BCP Council to shut it down.
An online petition states: 'The area already struggles massively with antisocial behaviour and the last thing the community needs is an establishment promoting the use of narcotics.'
According to Stuart the store boasts more than 30 kinds of instant noodles, including rare imported Pokemon noodles from Japan and Korean noodles purportedly the hottest in the world.
The interior includes work from Stuart including painting, neon works and sculptures.
It is situated at the former post office site, opposite a primary school.
He said: "I did make a sign that says 'Shit Hot Coffee' and loads of people have come in and had a word, including Vera the lolly pop lady.
"Apparently, the headmaster from the school is writing a letter, so I admit I misjudged that, and I'll make sure the s-word isn't visible during school times for the kids.
"I'm really sorry. I want pot shop to be welcoming for everyone."

EU trade policy review
In June 2020, the European Commission launched an EU trade policy review that will lead to a revised strategy to be adopted early in 2021. The aim is to set a new course for trade policy in a changing global context, aligned with EU priorities and supporting recovery from the coronavirus crisis. Parliament has contributed to the process with a resolution on 26 November 2020, and will continue monitoring implementation of the new policy in 2021.

State of play of EU-Australia FTA talks
In May 2018, the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate a free trade agreement (FTA) with Australia. Negotiations were officially launched in June 2018. Between July 2018 and September 2020, eight negotiation rounds took place. The first chapter of the prospective EU-Australia FTA, concluded at the technical level, is on small and medium-sized enterprises. The ninth negotiation round started on 30 November 2020.
State of play of EU–New Zealand FTA talks
Negotiations on an EU free trade agreement (FTA) with New Zealand, one of the fastest-growing developed economies in the world, were launched in June 2018. Eight negotiating rounds took place between July 2018 and June 2020, resulting in the closure of the Transparency Chapter of the future FTA. The next round will be scheduled with the New Zealand government following the general elections held on 17 October 2020.
Trade negotiations between the EU and ASEAN member states
In 2017, the European Union–Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) dialogue partnership celebrated its 40th anniversary. The same year saw the 50th anniversary of the founding of ASEAN. The ASEAN region is currently the world's fifth largest economy, a dynamic economic area home to more than 660 million consumers.

In 2017, the European Union–Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) dialogue partnership celebrated its 40th anniversary. The same year saw the 50th anniversary of the founding of ASEAN. The ASEAN region is currently the world's fifth largest economy, a dynamic economic area home to more than 660 million consumers. To ensure better access to opportunities in the region's market, the European Union (EU) started negotiations with ASEAN for a region-to-region free trade agreement (FTA) in 2007. After negotiations were suspended in 2009, the EU decided to pursue bilateral trade agreements with the individual ASEAN member states. To date, six have begun talks on bilateral FTAs with the EU: Singapore and Malaysia in 2010; Vietnam in 2012; Thailand in 2013; the Philippines in 2015; and Indonesia in 2016. Negotiations have already been concluded and FTAs entered into force with two of these countries, Singapore and Vietnam, in November 2019 and August 2020, respectively. Negotiations are under way with Indonesia, while talks are currently on hold with Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. In the longer term, these bilateral FTAs would allow the establishment of a region-to-region FTA, which remains the EU's ultimate ambition. By bringing together two of the world's largest economic areas, the agreement would establish a free trade area with a combined market of more than 1 billion people. It is in the EU's interest to strengthen its economic cooperation with ASEAN, in order to maintain its competitive position in this dynamically developing region. Closer trade and investment relations could also pave the way towards the EU's goal of a strategic partnership between the two regional blocs, encompassing political as well as economic cooperation.

States of emergency in response to the coronavirus crisis: Situation in certain Member States
With the first case of unknown pneumonia reported in the province of Wuhan (People's Republic of China) on 31 December 2019, within few weeks the coronavirus (Covid-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on 30 January 2020.

With the first case of unknown pneumonia reported in the province of Wuhan (People's Republic of China) on 31 December 2019, within few weeks the coronavirus (Covid-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on 30 January 2020. Since then it has spread to most corners of the globe. While the health threat it poses and the challenge it represents for human health is paramount, no less important is the strain it puts on the legal order. For most of the affected countries, in particular in the EU, this outbreak is posing unprecedented institutional challenges and has obliged institutions and governments to adopt strict measures affecting citizens' rights in a way unparalleled since the Second World War. While some Member States' constitutions include mechanisms allowing for recourse to a 'state of emergency' or the entrustment of special powers to specific institutions, other Member States' legal orders do not, either for historic reasons or owing to institutional tradition. Crucial aspects of the exercise of public powers under a pandemic threat include not only the extent of the measures adopted, but also their legitimacy, raising the question of their duration and of the degree of parliamentary oversight. This briefing is the first in a series intended to offer a comparative overview of the institutional responses adopted in different Member States, in the light of i) the constitutional framework for the state of emergency or legitimation of the emergency legislation ii) the specific measures adopted, iii) the extent of the parliamentary oversight exercised over the measures adopted. This first briefing, therefore, offers an overview of the responses to the coronavirus pandemic in Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Spain.

The Commonwealth of Australia, as Australia is officially known, was established on 1 January 1901 with the federation of six former British colonies. The Constitution, which came into effect on the same day, provides the rules by which Australia is governed and divides government responsibilities into three separate branches: parliament, executive and judiciary. In addition to being a federation, Australia is also a representative democracy and a constitutional monarchy. Queen Elisabeth II, who resides in the United Kingdom (UK), is the official head of state of the Commonwealth of Australia. Australia's system of government is modelled on the Westminster system deriving from the British tradition. The Commonwealth parliament, made up of the Queen and the two Houses of Parliament, in addition to holding the legislative power, is at the heart of the tradition of responsible government. This means that government ministers, who all must be members of parliament, are accountable to, and must answer to, the parliament for their actions. There are three levels of government within the country, namely the Commonwealth (federal), state or territory, and local level. Under Australia's federal system, the powers of government are divided between the federal and the state governments. Out of the 10 territories that are part of the Commonwealth, two have been granted a level of self-government by the federal parliament. Consequently, Australia has a federal parliament, as well as six state and two territory parliaments. It also has a federal executive government, as well as six state and two territory executive governments. A third, local level of Australian government was established by state and territory governments. The High Court of Australia is the highest court in the judicial system.

Separation Quickness – Not especially crisp out of breaks, lacking burst on horizontal cuts. While his foot fire and jab steps are mostly fluid, the break and drive phase of his cuts are lacking speed. Transitions can be sluggish.
Ball Skills – Smith extends to the catchpoint when its over his head, using his hands to corral the ball. Better when attacking touch passes over the middle, using his broad frame and long arms. However, too often attempts to use his body to catch passes. Unable to adjust to balls thrown below his waist and struggles to win through traffic and contact. Struggles when the catchpoint is disrupted, and inconsistent hands at best.
Speed/Burst – Seems like a passable athlete, but lacking any types of serious burst. Moves laterally well in his stems to avoid contact. Average speed considering his size, but I would be surprised if he dominates athletic testing.
Route-Running – Can seem lost at the top of his route despite shiftiness. Unsure of how to use his athletic ability in order to create consistent separation. Seems lost in order to defeat press coverage, generally an unsure route runner. On the vertical plane, rarely stacks the defensive back in order to create downfield passing windows. Will work into windows against zone coverage, nice ability when the quarterback extends the play.
Contested Catch – Lack of stacking and ball skills limits his ability in contested spots. His frame suggests that he should be dominant in this area, but his inability to track and adjust to passes and extend to the catchpoint results in too many incompletions.
Ball Carrier – One of his best attributes is his easy transition from receiver to ball carrier and body control to pick up yardage along the sideline. Immediately gets vertical as a ball carrier, and has the vision in order to see oncoming pursuit. Uses his lateral agility as a ball carrier, able to juke out potential tacklers. His ball security can be atrocious, holding the ball in one air with a ton of space between the ball and the five points of pressure.
Releases – Struggles to beat press coverage on a regular basis. Can get physically dominated by stronger defensive backs, getting bullied to the sideline and taken completely out of the play. Essentially no hand usage at the line of scrimmage allows contact to his frame on nearly every rep. Seems lost on how to beat press coverage, despite his plus lateral agility.
Blocking – A weakness in his game, Smith shows minimal effort as a blocker. Nearly no speed or effort in his stalk blocking, as his get-off is slow out of his stance. The viewer can tell exactly when Smith is blocking, as he stays in a compact stance and rarely bursts off the line of scrimmage. When he is able to contact the defensive back, there is nearly no lateral movement, foot speed, or physicality. Can get blown off the spot and finished by defensive backs.
Strength and Toughness – Gets beaten physically more often than he initiates contact. Built well, seemingly doesn't lack strength. However, his play strength and intensity seem lacking.
Athleticism/Size – One of Smith's redeeming qualities is his size and broad frame. At 6'4 and 223 pounds, he has the ideal physical profile for the next level. Will likely be an average athlete compared to receivers his size in the NFL.


Access Dental Care has been featured in The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust's recent report - Innovations in Oral Health Care.
Sadly, many North Carolinians living with complicated intellectual and physical disabilities have little or no access to dental care. Known as "special care populations," they may be homebound or living in nursing homes or group homes. The 2010 Special Care Oral Health Services Advisory Group estimated that there are 450,000 special needs individuals in North Carolina who belong to all age groups and have a variety of disabilities including profound intellectual disability, autism, cerebral palsy, dementia, cerebral vascular disorders (stroke), head injuries, multiple sclerosis, and muscular dystrophy.
While the challenge is a big one, there is a strategy that works, as Bill Milner, president of Access Dental Care, has demonstrated for 16 years. Headquartered in Asheboro, Access Dental Care provides on-site, high quality dental care for frail elderly and individuals with disabilities in nursing and group homes, retirement communities, PACE programs, a seven-county HIV/AIDS program and to special care patients in the community at large. Access Dental Care's service area now extends from Shelby to Raleigh, as a result of acquiring a similar service in the Charlotte area in 2015.
Access Dental Care is a mobile on-site dentistry program. Five days each week, a dentist, hygienist and one or two dental assistants travel in a 16-foot truck to a special care facility in the North Carolina Piedmont. They transport everything found in a regular dental office: dental chairs, state-of-the art operating units, lights, digital x-ray and supplies—enough equipment to support two operatories. Milner and his staff have the process down to a science and are able to wheel the equipment into a designated room and set up in about 20 minutes. This space, usually an activity room, requires electrical outlets, a sink, and some privacy. Milner says that the team can see 15 or more patients per visit. Before any patient can be seen, the facility's social worker must obtain signed permission fromthe patient's family. This is required before the dentist can conduct the first exam or perform any treatment. Most patients are brought to the dental room, although a few must be treated at their bedside.
Access Dental Care provides comprehensive dental care to 3,400 residents in 13 Piedmont counties each year. Since its inception, the organization has treated over 15,000 patients during 100,000 dental appointments.
Funding comes from three sources: Medicaid (75% of patients), which pays slightly more than 40 cents for every dollar of care; private pay including insurance; and a facility retainer fee. The retainer fee insures that the Access Dental Care can break even. Access Dental Care also has received $1.6 million in capital funding from North Carolina foundations.
Milner, ordinarily a cheerful man, is increasingly concerned about finding the right people to do the job and public funding issues. "If you do this right, it takes trained staff, state-of-the art equipment, communication with facilities, patients and their responsible parties, and constant attention to the needs of the community. There are not many programs operating in the U.S. that provide consistent, comprehensive continuity of care," said Milner. He is busy these days working on financing strategies for the future as well as considering the possibility of expanding into other areas of the state.
Bill Milner, D.D.S. or Betsy White, R.D.H.
Dr. Bill Milner is widely respected for the quality of service provided by Access Dental Care and for its ethnical approach to treating patients who often cannot speak for themselves. "We're going to do it right," he said, "or we're just not going to do it!" Dr. Milner received his dental surgery degree from the Baylor College of Dentistry and a master's degree in Public Health Administration from UNC-Chapel Hill. He is the chair of the North Carolina Dental Society Special Care Committee and has served as consultant to the American Dental Association, state dental societies and local health departments. He is the recipient of many awards, including the North Carolina Dental Society's Special Recognition Award for achievement in leadership, academics, research and health care delivery.

Established in 1911, Douglas Elliman Actual Estate is the most important brokerage in the New York Metropolitan area and the third largest residential real property firm nationwide. Many real property brokers and gross sales agents work more than 40 hours per week. They often work evenings and weekends to accommodate shoppers' schedules. Many brokers and sales agents spend a significant amount of time networking and attending group events to meet potential shoppers. Though they frequently work irregular hours, many can set their very own schedules.
Brokers and agents can symbolize both the customer or the vendor in a transaction. Consumers' brokers and brokers meet with purchasers to grasp what they're searching for in a property and how much they'll afford. Sellers' brokers and brokers meet with shoppers to assist them decide how a lot to ask for and to convince them that the agent or dealer can discover them a professional purchaser.
The median annual wage for real property brokers was $fifty six,730 in May 2017. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 % earned less than $24,one hundred sixty, and the very best 10 percent earned more than $151,660. The median annual wage for real estate gross sales brokers was $45,990 in May 2017.

What is a collective action model?
Collective action is predicated on the assumption that entities that work together as a group – or collective – can achieve outcomes more effectively than working individually. Collective action, an economic, political, and sociological concept was enshrined in the work of Mancur Olson in his book The Logic of Collective Action. Common examples of "collectives" include condominium cooperatives, farm cooperatives, unions, academic library consortia, some forms of insurance and many more.
In the case of PLOS Medicine and PLOS Biology, the community goal is to cover the costs of the journals (plus a 10% capped margin) by equitably distributing cost, rather than have individual authors pay the high APCs required to cover the cost highly selective publishing. Members of the collective receive the "private benefit" of publishing in both journals with no fees. Authors from non-member institutions are subject to "non-member fees" which increase considerably year-on-year to encourage participation in the collective.
With the PLOS CAP model, any revenue above the targets is redistributed to community members at renewal.
What is the goal of PLOS' Community Action Publishing model?
The goal of this model is to use an alternative business model – "collective action" – to:
Demonstrate that highly selective Open Access journal publishing can cover its costs without charging high APCs, or indeed any APCs
Equitably distribute cost amongst institutions that publish most in those two journals
Cap revenue and redistribute community fees amongst community members when revenue target is reached

With the PLOS CAP mode, any revenue above the targets is redistributed to community members at renewal.
What makes the PLOS Community Action Publishing model unique?
CAP focuses on making selectivity financially sustainable, NOT on revenue maximization. This means that additional revenue over and above the revenue target is redistributed to Community Action members at renewal.
The model is an entirely new method for funding highly selective journals.
CAP considers both corresponding and contributing author contributions in calculating publishing activity.
Institutions – not PLOS – drive the transition timeline by the speed in which they join the communities.
CAP integrates so-called "Read" institutions (addressing the larger concerns about "Read" institutions potentially exiting the publishing ecosystem when they no longer have to pay to read content) by recognizing the contributions/cost represented by institutions who only ever publish as contributing authors but never corresponding authors.
How is Community Action Publishing different from a subscription?
This model is different from a subscription in that:
It covers the cost of publishing content not reading content.
It transparently links fees and tiers. Historically subscription models have never been fully transparent about what constitutes the basis for their fees.
The margin is capped because the goal is sustainable selective publishing – NOT revenue maximization.
Revenues return to community members at renewal if/when the group achieves the revenue target. PLOS does not keep additional revenue above the target.
What are the PLOS Community Action Publishing targets for each journal?
PLOS Biology PLOS Medicine
Direct + Indirect Costs $1,997,015 Direct + Indirect Costs $1,422,930
10% operating margin $199,700 10% operating margin $142,295
Community Cost Recovery Target $2,196,715 Community Cost Recovery Target $1,565,225
These are publicly available on the PLOS website at https://plos.org/resources/community-action-publishing/ and progress towards these targets will be reported annually.
How can PLOS reach the revenue targets and what happens if/when that happens?
While community fees alone could achieve the target, it is more realistic that community fees and non-member fees together will achieve the target since 100% participation in each community is unlikely.
Any additional revenue above the revenue target will be redistributed to community members in the form of reduced fees the following year.
Why does the model include contributing author affiliations?
There are two main reasons: one mission-driven, the other practical:
Mission considerations: PLOS has always been deeply committed to reforming and reimagining the current practice of research assessment to focus less on individual proxy metrics for impact and more on the actual contributions of authors to research. Focusing on corresponding authors – indeed, building entire business models around their designations – further reinscribes the privileged position of corresponding authors, ignoring both the contributions of other authors and the benefits they receive when publishing.
Practical considerations: Including contributing authors in the model is a key step to highlighting their roles in the research process and ensuring institutions are covering that cost.
By including contributing authors, the PLOS Community Action Publishing model begins the process of integrating so-called "Read" institutions into "publishing-based" models. Institutions that are affiliated with contributing authors but never corresponding authors "exit" business models focused on corresponding author designation. Their money goes with them.
Given the well-articulated concerns about the shift-to-OA placing undue burden on research intensive institutions to carry the costs for all academic publishing (while read institutions read for free), finding novel ways of integrating these institutions fairly is an important step in evolving business models.
Is Community Action Publishing available for all PLOS journals?
Community Action Publishing is currently only available for PLOS Biology and PLOS Medicine. However, each of our other journals offers a flat fee model for institutions who want to eliminate APCs for their authors publishing in any PLOS journal.
PLOS is currently experimenting with different models for several reasons:
1. Diversity in multiple models allows PLOS experiment in a financially sustainable way.
2. We prefer to iterate in small steps, focusing on addressing specific problems. In the case of community action publishing, we're addressing the high cost of APCs for highly selective journals. In the case of the flat fee model for the other five journals, we're focusing on high administrative overhead of managing many APCs (which is why PLOS ONE – our biggest journal – is part of that model).
3. Experimentation with two models simultaneously allows us to compare results, gather customer and market feedback in real time, report to the marketplace in real time, and iterate as changes need to be made – all without "putting all our eggs in one basket".
Do APCs currently cover costs for PLOS Biology and PLOS Medicine?
No. PLOS intentionally cross-subsidizes the PLOS Medicine and PLOS Biology APCs to keep them lower than the "true APC" (the APC value that would actually cover cost). This is the problem with funding highly selective OA journals with APCs. They typically have to be very high APCs to cover cost. This is why we're piloting the collective action model.
What makes highly selective journals more expensive?
Highly selective journals have high publishing costs due to high rejection rates and bespoke author services. To make these articles Open Access using individual article processing charges (APCs), the resulting APCs are usually very high ($5K USD or more).
Rather than charge the costly "true APC" that would cover the cost of publishing in those journals (~$6100 USD for PLOS Medicine and ~$5400 for PLOS Biology), we have historically deflated the APC to make it more affordable. With the PLOS Community Action Publishing effort, we will eliminate APCs altogether.
What is the pilot period?
The pilot term is January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023
What are the Community Action Publishing fees?
MED Fee BIO Fee
Tier 1 $37,950 $36,305
Tier 5 $7,920 $14,045
Tier 7 $3,960 $7,880
Tier 10 $990 $2,055
Tier 12 $330 $685
Are the fees for one year or three?
Fees included in your proposal are for a one year commitment. If you wish to commit to more than one year, please request multi-year pricing.
How are the Community Action Publishing fees calculated?
The fees for participating in the PLOS CAP communities for PLOS Biology and PLOS Medicine are based on an institution's projected average annual publishing activity in each of the journals.
How 'publishing activity' is calculated: The projected average annual publishing activity for each institution is calculated based on the number of articles for which an author affiliated with the institution was a corresponding author or a contributing author. In calculating the activity, contributing-author articles have been weighed at half that of those for corresponding authors.
To facilitate fee modeling, each institution's average publishing activity has been adjusted to reflect a projected increase in future publishing activity (an 84% increase for PLOS Biology and a 65% increase for PLOS Medicine). However, this adjustment does not change the level of an institution's publishing activity relative to other institutions or affect the relative fee for each institution. The activity reflects the annual average over 5.75 years of publishing.
How tiers are set: The tiers have been set so that, to the extent possible, the difference in activity between one tier and the next is relatively uniform. The natural distribution of activity over 12 tiers yields the activity ranges for each journal shown in the table on the left.
How are authors/institutions counted?
Neither institutions nor authors are counted. Rather, we total publication activity for a given institution from 2014 – Q3 2019. The model evaluates how often an institution was affiliated with both corresponding and contributing authors, assigns a weighting to both activities. That total "publishing activity" then determines tier assignments.
Are the Community Action Publishing tiering and fees related to APCs?
No, CAP tiering and fees are not related to APCs. There is no relationship between the APCs that authors have paid historically and the fees structure of CAP. Intentionally decoupling cost-per-article from the fees structure is one innovation of this model.
Fees are based on historical publishing activity (in both the corresponding and contributing author positions from 2014-Q3 2019) relative to the total revenue target to be covered by the group and certain uptake assumptions of how many institutions will join each community and when they'll join.
How is publication activity weighted?
Publishing activity is counted by determining the number of times an institution was associated with a corresponding author AND the number of times an institution was associated with contributing authors. Papers where the institution is affiliated with the corresponding authors are weighted as 1 article and papers where the institution is affiliated with the contributing author are weighted as ½ article. (Multiple contributing authors from the same institutions are counted only once).
Example: University XYZ has published 10 papers in PLOS Medicine between 2014-Q3-2019. Six of those papers were affiliated with corresponding authors and four were affiliated contributing authors. UXYZ thus had eight "publishing activities" in the time period evaluated since the six papers each count as "one" publishing activity and the four contributing author papers count as two publishing activities (4 papers x ½).
How often are tiers and fees calculated?
The PLOS CAP pilot is three years from Jan 1, 2021-Dec 31, 2023. We plan on re-tiering all institutions publishing in both journals every three years (barring any major changes recommended by communities' members). Mid-year 2023, PLOS will recalculate publishing activity (over a rolling 6 year period) for any institutions affiliated with corresponding or contributing authors in either journal. The revised tiers and fees will then be applied to the 2024-2026 period. We will be soliciting feedback annually from community members on the model as well as monitoring publishing activity for both journals to ensure the tiers are optimized to member savings and PLOS cost recovery targets.
Why is the term for historical publishing activity 5.75 years?
We wanted to use as broad a time period as we could to mitigate against publishing activity fluctuations year-over-year. We chose to go back as far as 2014 but could not wait until the end of 2019 so we went ahead and used three quarters of 2019 on top of 2014-2018.
What is the margin and why is it capped?
The margin is additional revenue on top of direct and indirect costs needed to reinvest in the journals. Merely covering cost with no "surplus" risks the journals' financial sustainability. That said, PLOS is capping the margins on both journals because we have determined that 10% is sufficient for reinvestment. Additional revenue is unnecessary as we are not trying to grow the journals for revenue's sake. Therefore, we will return any revenue above the target to the PLOS Community members at renewal.
Do the institutions stay in the same tier for the three-year pilot period (independent of publication volume changes that might happen during the term?)
Yes. Tiers and fees are recalculated once every three years. Tiers/fees will be remodeled in the summer of 2023 for the second pilot period starting in 2024.
Participating in CAP
Which institutions are eligible to participate in the PLOS Communities?
Any institution may participate in one or both PLOS Communities. If institutions have a prior publishing history with either journal (either affiliated with corresponding or contributing authors in anything published from 2014 through Q3 of 2019) PLOS has already assigned it a tier and fees based on that publishing activity. Contact institutionalaccounts@plos.org for fees or visit the PLOS CAP website at plos.org/resources/for-institutions.
Institutions with no prior publishing history during the time period evaluated are welcome to join at the lowest tier fees in both PLOS Communities.
Are there two communities or just one for both journals?
There are two independent communities.
Does my institution have to join both communities?
No. An institution may join either community independently.
Is my institution or consortium eligible for discounts?
PLOS is not engaging in the "transactional discounting" often associated with traditional consortial agreements because this is a collective and changes in what one entity pays directly impact everyone else's costs. The fairness and transparency of the model go away with transactional discounting.
However, we will offer discounts for entities that can minimize our administrative burden. For consortia paying through one invoice (who have no other agreements with PLOS) we are offering a 1% discount.
How are 'Read' institutions included in PLOS Community Action Publishing?
Read institutions are included in various ways in this model:
1. By including the affiliations of contributing authors as well as corresponding authors, the model integrates institutions that only ever publish as contributors and never lead authors and consequently fall into the "read" category in many models. See the FAQ above "Why does the model include contributing author affiliations?"
2. Any institution with no historical publishing history in either journal during the period we evaluated (2014- Q3 2019) are considered "read" institutions and can participate at the lowest tier of either community. Participation acts as "insurance" in the event that your authors do choose to publish either as corresponding or contributing authors in future.
Do institutions need to commit to all three years?
No, you can enter and leave the PLOS Community at will. However, three years is the ideal commitment period as we work together to build both publishing communities.
What happens if I drop out of the collective mid-term?
Your corresponding authors will be exposed to the increased non-member fees after a period of paying no fees
The time to transition away from APCs takes longer (as the speed and consistency of institutional agreements drives the transition)
Other members of the PLOS Community may see increased costs
You may be ineligible for redistribution of funds when revenues exceed the Community target
You will not receive a refund as your authors will still benefit if their articles are published during the term for which you paid
Can institutions with no prior publishing history in PLOS Biology and/or PLOS Medicine participate in either or both PLOS Communities?
Yes, institutions with no publishing history are welcome to participate at the lowest tier for each community.
Authors from my institution are usually contributing authors and publish infrequently. Why should we participate?
Participation acts as "insurance" in the event that one of your authors wants to publish as a contributing author or corresponding during the pilot period. The annual fee is considerably less than non-member fees in most cases.
Are funders contributing anything to either PLOS Community?
Several funders have indicated interest in participating. We are working with them to determine the best way for them to participate, enabling the PLOS Community to more quickly achieve its revenue target. We will communicate when/how/if funders will participate upon confirmation.
Can these communities "fail?" and what does that look like?
Technically collectives fail when the shared goal can't be achieved due to individual actors undercutting the collective's efficacy as a group – the so-called "free rider" problem. PLOS mitigates against this risk by creating an alternative, parallel revenue stream (non-member fees) that allows for slower PLOS Community Action Publishing uptake and/or variable participation. Non-member fees ensure that authors from non-member institutions are still contributing to each journals' financial sustainability.
Are institutions penalized for not participating?
No. Their authors are simply charged non-member fees. See the table below:
Non-member Fees by Year 2021 2022 2023
Biology $4,000 $5,300 $5,500
Medicine $4,000 $5,300 $6,300
Author non-member fees
What is happening to APCs for both journals during the pilot period?
As of January 1, 2021, neither PLOS Biology nor PLOS Medicine will have APCs. Instead, Community Action Publishing fees and non-member fees will cover the publishing costs.
Authors from institutions who are not members of the communities will be subject to the following non-member fees.
Will contributing authors be paying non-member fees?
Currently, no. Assuming we see the level of uptake required to make the model feasible, we intend to ONLY charge corresponding authors non-member fees.
What happens if one or more contributing or corresponding author's institution is not a member of PLOS CAP?
These are the current submission scenarios for 2021-2023:
1. All corresponding and contributing authors are members – No non-member fees.
2. Corresponding author is a member but some/all contributing authors are not – No non-member fees.
3. Corresponding author is NOT a member but some/all contributing authors are members – Corresponding author is subject to the non-member fee for that year with a 25% discount thanks to the contributing author member(s) status.
4. Neither corresponding author nor contributing authors are members – Full non-member fee
What if my authors cannot pay non-member fees?
Corresponding authors whose institutions are not PLOS Community Action Publishing members who are published in either journal are subject to non-member fees during the transition period (see table above). If they are unable to pay non-member fees, they may apply for waivers as per the standard fee-waiver mechanisms offered by PLOS. See PLOS Publication Fees.
For the PLOS Biology and PLOS Medicine Communities, institutions geographically located in Research 4 Life countries are automatically members of each community and researchers will never be subject to fees.
Additionally, their institutions will be contacted post-submission, pre-acceptance to encourage them to join the relevant PLOS Community to help their authors avoid fees. If they join before article acceptance, the corresponding author will not be subject to APCs.
PLOS historically spends between $1.5- $3M USD annually to support waiver requests from authors who cannot pay fees. Moving to non-APC models allow us to reduce the number of waivers we need to cover while ensuring authors are still able to publish with PLOS.
What happens when a contributing author submits as a corresponding author for the first time?
If an author associated with a secondary publish institution (an institution that has only been affiliated with co-authors but never corresponding authors) publishes as a corresponding author for the first time, they will see no non-member fees. Their participation in the PLOS Community effectively acts like insurance and significantly saves the institution and author on non-member fees. When it comes time for renewal, all institutions' tiers will be recalculated based on publication trends from 2020-2022 (most likely – we have to confirm how many year's we'll evaluate) and any secondary publish institutions that publish as corresponding authors during that period will move into the "primary publish" institutional group.
What happens to my authors' benefits if I drop out of the collective mid-term?
Authors will still receive membership benefits if their articles are published during the term for which the institution has already paid (institutions will not receive a refund for a partial term). After the end of the term, corresponding authors will be subject to the non-member fees of that year.
PLOS Flat Fee Agreements
About Flat Fee Agreements
What are the goals of this model?
The core goals of this model relate to minimizing the administrative burden of acquiring and managing publishing funds and ensuring equitable access to publishing.
Streamline and simplify the management of payments for publishing (APCs) through a predictable and transparently generated annual flat fee
Minimize the administrative burden for libraries on managing APC funds, tracking eligibility, and approving funding requests
Eliminate financial pressure on authors to find funding to pay for their publications and reduce cost for institutions overall by shielding authors from periodic changes to APCs as well as any fees associated with new article types and/or future journals
Ensure equitable access to native Open Access publishing for authors wishing to publish in PLOS titles
Offer a competitive, alternative publishing outlet to institutions who have negotiated "transformative agreements" with other publishers (where Open Access publishing is essentially free for authors)
How is the Flat Fee different from a subscription?
The Flat Fee covers authors' publishing costs while subscriptions cover reading costs. All PLOS journals are fully Open Access meaning there are never any costs to readers.
Institution or consortial fees and tiers are transparently calculated based on historical publishing trends and waiver rates in the five PLOS journals.
How is the Flat Fee model different from PLOS Community Action Publishing (CAP)?
While the mechanism for payment in both models is the same (an annual flat fee), the journals involved and the mechanisms for calculating the fees are different
Journal Eligibility
The FF model is for all PLOS journals except PLOS Medicine and PLOS Biology (which are part of the CAP model).
Fees for the FF are based on the APC rates at the time of negotiation as well as the partner's historical publishing activity, waiver rates, and spend by corresponding authors.
Fees for the CAP are based on the total cost PLOS needs to cover for both PLOS Medicine and PLOS Biology and factor in both corresponding and contributing author activity. Additionally, the CAP model is predicated on collective action and is community driven; that is, the uptake by community members drives how quickly the collective can reach the target.
Both models are committed to ensuring anyone who wishes to publish in PLOS titles can do so with no fees and reduced administrative burden for their institutions. This will happen over time as the models mature.
Why are there two different models instead of one model for all PLOS journals?
PLOS is currently experimenting with different models for a couple of reasons:
Diversity in multiple business models is safer and more financially sustainable. Models like collective action (CAP) are complicated to develop, difficult to explain, and require a long commitment over many years to achieve success. To shift all journals to one entirely new model with no data would be imprudent.
We prefer to iterate in small steps, focusing on addressing specific problems. In the case of collective action, we're addressing the high cost of APCs for highly selective journals. In the case of the flat fee model for the other five journals, we're focusing on high administrative overhead of managing many APCs (which is why PLOS ONE –our biggest journal–is part of that model).
Experimentation with two models simultaneously allows us to compare results, gather customer and market feedback in real-time, report to the marketplace in real-time, and iterate as changes need to be made — all without putting all our "eggs in one basket."
Partnership Details
Does my library need to participate in all five journals?
Yes. Our Flat Fee model is designed to automatically cover publications in PLOS Computational Biology, PLOS Genetics, PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, PLOS ONE, and PLOS Pathogens through a single, annual fee.
Does my library have to verify/approve articles as they're accepted?
Only if you wish. Flat fee customers will receive a monthly "Submissions" report and a monthly "Publications" report to see what was submitted and published in the last month. Libraries are welcome to review these but verification and approval is not required.
Partner Fees
How is pricing calculated?
The annual fee is calculated by multiplying the journal's current APC by the projected number of publications for the term year, based on publication activity from the previous two years. This fee includes a 4% discount on the list price for the five journals, and the mean waiver rate for institutions is included.
The fee calculation includes modest publication growth in each year of the agreement. The projected increase in number of publications was determined by looking at a number of factors:
Removing the APC barrier to publishing with PLOS should have an incentivizing effect of encouraging more publications.
PLOS anticipates launching new journals and article types, which should also encourage publications.
PLOS will be conducting targeted marketing to authors of affiliated institutions which will raise the profile of the PLOS agreement and encourage further publications.
What is the author surcharge?
This fee is completely optional and libraries can decide what fee, if any fee, they want to apply. We recommend $500 USD or less but some institutions make them higher because they stair step them down over time as a transition mechanism.

These spinach artichoke tortilla cups are the perfect appetizer recipe for game day, everyone will agree! This post contains affiliate links.
I know I've said this before but the best thing about watching any game on tv is making food and having friends over to watch it. Let's be honest those are the only things I think are fun about watching a sports game on tv. These spinach artichoke tortilla cups are going to disappear before your eyes at your next watch party, promise! Everyone loves a good spinach dip and when they are made in individual portions is easy for everyone to enjoy them know matter where they are sitting to watch the game.
This is another recipe where I used my favorite Demarle at Home Flexipan Muffin Tray. It is literally life. changing! You don't flour, grease or spray it and NOTHING sticks to it. Have you ever made eggs in a metal muffin tray? If you don't douse that thing with cooking spray you've got a big mess, and even if you do you're still probably having to soak it to clean it, right?! NOT with a flexipan. You might remember my Chili Rellenos Egg Cups which I made with my muffin tray, so good and so easy! click HERE to get your very own.
To get these tortillas in the muffin tray I did a little trick. You can see the photo below where I cut uneven triangles from 2 sides of the circle of a taco sized (small) flour tortilla. Watch the video below to see how I fold them to make them fit perfectly into the muffin cups. It's so much easier with those little pieces cut out, I promise!
I love serving individual portioned appetizers, they are convenient for everyone to grab and eat.
The combination of cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts warm in a tortilla shell is seriously a winning combo, you're going to love this recipe!
These spinach artichoke tortilla cups are the perfect appetizer recipe for game day, everyone will agree!
Preheat the oven to 400. Cut small triangles out of 2 of the sides of each of the tortillas, see photo. To fit the tortillas into the muffin tray take the two bottom points of the open triangle you cut out on each side and pull them together while pushing the center of tortilla down into the muffin cup. Place them in a muffin tray, if you are using a metal muffin tray you might want to spray with non-stick spray.
Mix all the ingredients together (leave out the mozzarella) and then fill the tortillas with dip mixture. I used about 1/4 cup in each well. Top each cup with shredded mozzarella. Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes. You want the cheese to be melty and the tortilla edges to be slightly brown. Enjoy warm with family and friends!
If you make these please share it with me!! It thrills me to hear from you and see what you've made! Leave a comment or tag me on Instagram (@handmadeintheheartland) or facebook!

Heinz Time: Here's the catch-up.
All right. So. Here's what's going on in my life right now, just for a little background's sake: I'm an actor here in Seattle, which means I'm a barista here in Seattle. I work at Diva Espresso to feed the stomach, and I act and write and perform standup comedy to feed the soul. I have never been one to sit around and wait for the jobs to come to me (if they do, AWESOME – I'll take what I can get), but I'm not Matt Damon or Johnny Depp: as funny as it may sound, high-powered producers aren't scrambling to their phones to punch in my number and BEG me to be in their next big picture.
So instead of being bored and feeling sad that nobody wants to cast me in anything, I try to do my own stuff. This time two years ago, longtime friend and collaborator Bryan Sullivan and I started a two-man theatre company – Wanderweg Productions – and hit the road with a play that I wrote called The Celtic Cross, which is what we described as "The Fox and the Hound with guns and Irish accents." It's about two men who grow up in war-torn Belfast during "The Troubles," and become friends in spite of their circumstances. As they get older, they become more entrenched in their ideals, and they must choose between their friendship and their beliefs. I wrote the play when I was studying in Dublin and London, and in 2012, Bryan and I took it on a six-month, six-state tour. We both moved back to Seattle this time last year, and there honestly hasn't been a whole lot of action from Wanderweg since, and 2013 was a pretty quiet year for me on the acting front (I was only in two staged productions the entire year, as well as a few short films).
A smattering of the work I did in 2013
Left: Acting in World's Fair at Jet City Improv with the wonderful Margaret Erickson
Above: Starring in Tyler Brown's short film Alone in the Dark
Which leads to the current flurry of activity, my recent return to standup comedy, my creating an email list, and my sudden drive to move things forward. 2014 has already proved to be a very fruitful year, and I'll give a fuller update on the next post. But I'll say right now that the first half of the year is pretty much lined up: in less than a month I will be moving to Portland, ME, where I will be working with Portland Stage Company (in an acting capacity) for six weeks. Then, this July, I'll be returning to South Africa for the National Arts Festival. Again, more to come on this later.

Q: Postgres: How to increment the index (pointer) to access other rows I have been trying to understand how to increment the reference to some value.
In C I would simply increment the pointer to retrieve a value in the next array location.
How does this mechanism work in Postgres? is it possible?
For an example, I have created a table with some data in:
create table mathtest (
x int, y int, val int)

insert into mathtest (x,y,val)
values (1,1,10),(2,2,20),(3,3,30),(4,4,40),(5,5,50),(6,6,60),(7,7,70),(8,8,80),(9,9,90),(10,10,100),(11,11,110)

What I want to do is add the val value from the current row and then the val value when the x value in the row equals the current x value plus 2, and then plus 4. I realise that I can't assume the next row that is retrieved will be in a set order so I can't use 'lead'
If it was C I would simply increment the pointer.
The data output needs to be when the modulo of x and y = 0 for certain divisors. (this bit works)
select
    x base,
    (x+2) plus1x,
    (x+4) plus2x,
    y,
    val
from mathtest
where  x%2 =0 and y%3 = 0

This outputs the following:
       base     plus1x      plus2x     y    val
1       6         8           10       6     60

The output I would like is:
60 + 80 +100 = 240
I can't conceptualise how to do it. My mind seems to be stuck in procedural C mode!
Whatever I type and try is an error.
Can any body help me to get over this hurdle?

A: Welcome to the world of window functions.
You need an explicit ordering, otherwise it makes no sense to speak of the "previous row".
As a simple example, to get the difference to the previous value, you can query like
SELECT val -
       lag(val) OVER (ORDER BY x)
FROM mathtest;

Cover Story: Damian Marley
Picking up a poison pen instead of a peace pipe, Damian Marley drops a smart bomb on Jamaica's Babylonian system
By Knox Robinson
Photographer Andrew Dosumnu
There's not really an introduction to "Welcome To Jamrock"; the song begins with a snare then a second later it's out in the streets…they call it murder…an esoteric sample from an esoteric record followed by two devastating verses that pinpoint the politicized poverty and violence experienced by many Jamaicans today. In this, "Welcome To Jamrock" is the rare song that simply details life as it is, not life as it could or should be, and by speaking of a specific place it somehow touches on many places at once. There's nothing else like it on the airwaves today, forget about last year's dancehall mindlessness that had people waving lit cellphones in unison, even on the roots reggae renaissance mixtapes hitting the streets nothing bomb a drop like this, a straight-up cause and effect breakdown of actual facts, no fire burn, no mystical Jah Rastafari coming to punish the wicked and the twisted, the way it calls out injustice is so eerily timeless and so insanely exactly right now, a song so set apart from our ass-shaking and manic Bacardi guzzling and desperate weed smoking, a song that nevertheless ropes together so much of what we know of our urban existence—and this is a song about the ghetto in a little island in the Caribbean and you probably didn't even realize it was the work of Damian Marley—Junior Gong—the first time you heard it. It burns, it smolders and when a DJ drops it shortly after 1am it doesn't set the club on fire—it only makes you wonder—however briefly—if our whole lives aren't already aflame.
Of course: it's got a hot beat. At its core "Welcome To Jamrock" is a weapons-grade reworking of a classic mid-'80s Sly and Robbie electro roots production that anticipated the digital dancehall sound that would hit in 1985. Stephen Marley, Junior Gong's elder brother and the family's in-house musical director, produced the track and in his hands it gets run through with standard-issue dancehall airhorns, sirens and clik clak cockback deployed over dubbed-out keys and the insidiously relentless push of snare and hi hat in a cold fusion that sets the track's original airy Ini Kamoze vocal against a Bounty Killer sample that gives the song its name. On record and at live shows both Stephen and Junior Gong seem unburdened by their father's legacy and have an easy rapport with his material, and in a way this obscures the genius of Stephen's dusty touch at the board as much as it distracts from Damian's lyrical slaughter on the microphone.
But even Marley watchers probably didn't anticipate a song like this. Junior Gong's released albums before; his second LP Halfway Tree had a kind of best-of-both-worlds success, winning a Grammy in 2001 while still putting a couple songs in the dancehall to make good on his surname and the well-studied production talents of his older brother Stephen, the family's in-house musical director. On another level, too, "Welcome To Jamrock" draws inspiration from Life And Debt, a 2001 documentary by Stephanie Black that tracks the painful consequences of Jamaica's entry into the global free market (the Marleys' Tuff Gong label released the film's soundtrack). In the '80s the country's newly elected leadership began to privatize industry and adopt the neoliberal lending policies of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank; such decisions, as Black's film shows, hit working Jamaicans in uncalculated ways, from the disruption of local economies to sparking violent crime levels that are still on the rise today.
But a sterling pedigree can't begin to explain the way "Welcome To Jamrock" has connected with the street, radio station DJs fighting over who played it first and who's playing it next, delivery guys singing it as the freight elevator doors close, kids in the hood singing it as they ride by on BMX bikes, a trio of hot black girls wearing fuscia and rocking out to it in the club, messageboards and blogs wilding out with the hypertext, the Biggie remix floating around out there. Out in the street…they call it murder, the spooky-ass sample goes, and in the original it continues: when riddim's spacing out your head.
Today on the train I ran into an old acquaintance and we bugged for a second on the music that's hitting right now, rap and R&B and dancehall and reggaeton and MIA in there somewhere, everything kind of colored and twisted and psychedelic for the street. "Right now really reminds me of cities of 2000 years ago, like Rome and Jerusalem," she said, because she's the type of person who makes wildly ahistorical statements seem perfectly reasonable. "Cities like that were intense places where people from all over came together to share ideas and…create." Or something like that. And that Rome-Jerusalem talk is crazy for sure but Junior Gong would probably call his corner of this that empire Babylon, it's true he didn't grow up running the streets and it's true he has a nice crib in Miami but it's also true these cities don't sound the way they did even a few years ago, the way a city feels can change under your feet without notice and a handful of songs is sometimes what you've got to make sense of it all, Junior Gong can also tell you that in Kingston even uptown isn't uptown anymore, he's lost a handful of friends to violence in Jamaica this year, in 2004 1,145 people died violent deaths, the country of 2.5 million people has the third highest murder rate in the world, it's true he might get on the mic and say Babylon—
—Or he might say it the way he sings the lament at the end of "Welcome To Jamrock", the part that gets cut off on the radio, not because it's political or whatever but just because it's extraneous, expendable, cheeseburgers and CDs and cars and cell phone service and laser-based vision correction, all of that has to get sold in Babylon, plus the on-air personality has to give you a traffic update and let you know where the hot party is that night, the party will be playing hip-rap and R&B and dancehall and reggaeton and shortly after 1am the DJ will drop "Welcome To Jamrock". If you're lucky he'll play both verses, if it's a crazy night maybe he'll pull the record back a couple times before ending the shock of it all by cutting to something else with a hot beat, the part you won't hear is when Junior Gong sings simply, softly, Jamaica, Jamaica…Jamaica, Jamaica, yo…Jamaica, Jamaica…

Inshalla Country Club provides Tomahawk's residents and guests with a scenic 18-hole public golf course, bar & grill, and the premier Banquet & Convention Center in the Northwoods.
We pride ourselves on offering an exemplary experience to those that visit our facility. Whether it be our kind and courteous staff, a course designed with golfers of all abilities in mind or a wedding reception to be remembered forever; Inshalla Country Club is proud to be amongst the best in all that we offer.
While living in Saudi Arabia in the late 1950's, founders John & Mickey Hein picked up a few customs. The most significant was using the term "inshalla", meaning "God willing", in their everyday conversation. This custom melded perfectly with their dream of returning to their hometown of Tomahawk and building a COUNTRY CLUB, God willing.
Construction of the original 9 holes began in 1961 and upon opening in 1964 a name had to be given. The dream remained and the words repeated so often, "Country Club Inshalla" was the undeniable choice. In 1989 the name was altered to Inshalla Country Club after several improvements and expansion to 18 holes.
In 1990-91, major renovation of the clubhouse was done, adding a pro-shop and banquet room; expansion continued to include a Grand Hall allowing for weddings, fundraiser events, private meetings & full catering capability.
Completion of Front & Back Nine renovations allowed for the addition of a 10 station driving range, improved practice facilities and brought Inshalla Country Club back to a Par of 70 and nearly 6,000 yards from the Back Tees. In tandem with the renovations a 26 lot development was created bordering the Front Nine.
John Jr. and son, Andrew Hein, are grateful for the opportunity to provide and enhance these facilities through your patronage.
Stop by, have some fun & play a round at Inshalla!


ELF - A CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR is rated 2.9 out of 5 by 21.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JMH69 from Great Family Day Out Took the all the kids, even the 20+ year olds (Not exactly kicking and screaming but a little reluctant) for the Sunday afternoon show. By the end of it everyone was having a great time. Not only was there the stage show but all around the sides were circus acts like a tight rope walker and acrobats etc, made it just that little bit more special. Massively enjoyed by everyone.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Evvyemz from Disappointed - Overpriced pantomime This event was advertised as a Broadway/West End musical and what we got was an over-priced pantomime. Completely disappointed - stage set was a stripped down version of the West End version with barely a bench or a desk as a prop. Would not have booked if it had been correctly portrayed as a pantomime, but instead it was masked behind the "Christmas Spectacular" title. There was nothing spectacular about it. Left completely deflated.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Alice652 from Poor and disjointed Very disappointed with this show. Overpriced for the very average performance. Buddy did his best but the other actors were very bad. David Essex hardly bothered to act and seemed as though he had better places to be. Odd song choices and a lack of audience interaction. Not a good venue for a show like this. The characters accents didn't match or make sense and were very unbelievable. A real shame as this had such potential!
Rated 3 out of 5 by Umps from Spectacle but David Essex poor Took lots of ages to see this well made show and we all enjoyed it. Circus acts etc really enhanced it. However as a David Essex fan from my teens I would say he needs to retire. His voice was weak and he fluffed his lines with a terrible accent.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Marie65 from Disappointing We went to this show expecting it to be a stage version of the film Elf. Although a good show it was sometimes difficult to follow. And in no way like the film. Daughter was very disappointed.
Rated 1 out of 5 by lewlew65 from "Spectacular" ??? What a let down! This event was advertised as being "spectacular" and the event of the season. It was childish in the extreme. To say it was suitable for ALL the family was incorrect, I could hardly keep awake from the boredom. We purchased tickets down at stalls level to the side of the extended stage - only to miss the most amusing bit when Elf went into the front of the audience (which was behind us) and this was one of the few occasions when genuine laughter could be heard. The expectation of it snowing was afforded only to those at the very front of the stage then there was a huge gap before the next falling of 'snow' at the front of the extended stage. We were left to pick up handfuls from the floor and throw over ourselves as we left. The Elf did a good job of emulating the film character and Martine McCutcheon was ok. I was a huge fan of David Essex back in the day but I have to say acting is not his thing. All in all a waste of time and money. Wont be attending any more of your "spectacular Christmas events" in future.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jonesie from Disappointed Bought tickets for myself daughter and grandson. Bought ones at the front as although my grandson is 8 he is very small. On arriving realised there was a long cat walk and had to watch quite a lot on the screen. Really didn't think those event was worth the large amount of money I spent. Limited crowd interaction and next year will stick to a panto.

Torricella in Sabina è un comune italiano di  abitanti della provincia di Rieti nel Lazio.

Geografia fisica

Territorio
Il comune di Torricella in Sabina sorge a 615 metri sul livello del mare. Il paese nasce sulle propaggini meridionali dei monti Sabini.

Clima
Classificazione climatica: zona E, 2464 GR/G.
Zona sismica: 2B

Storia

Il paese sorge presso il percorso dell'antica Via Salaria ed accanto al vecchio tracciato della omonima strada statale, ora dismesso, sostituita da una variante negli anni '70 e lungo un tradizionale tratturo della transumanza. Nel territorio del Comune si trovano interessanti resti dell'antica via romana: il "ponte Sambuco" conservatosi nei secoli, tratti di pavimentazione romana in località Carnevale, una colonna miliaria e alcune rovine presso Ornaro alto.

Il monumento più antico è la chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie risalente al X secolo.

Il centro di Torricella in Sabina risulta nell'XI secolo tra i possedimenti della potente Abbazia di Farfa. Nel XIV secolo perviene alla famiglia Cesarini e, due secoli più tardi passa al ramo Sforza Cesarini. Gli Sforza Cesarini, rimasero proprietari della torre e del palazzo, principali edifici del borgo antico, fino alla prima metà dell'Ottocento. All'interno della torre, che presumibilmente dà il nome al paese, si trova la chiesa del santo patrono San Giovanni Battista. Sono ancora visibili i merli medioevali.

Nel 1867 Torricella in Sabina ospitò, ben accolti dalla popolazione, numerosi volontari garibaldini prima della Battaglia di Mentana che, male equipaggiati, vennero forniti di quattordici fucili da caccia dal patriottismo degli abitanti.
Torricella in Sabina venne attraversata dalla guerra nel 1944, subendo pesanti danni, in particolare per le distruzioni operate dall'esercito tedesco in ritirata per bloccare le strade all'avanzata alleata.

Il territorio di Torricella è ricompreso all'interno dei territori sabini idonei alla produzione di olio di oliva con le caratteristiche e livello qualitativo previsti dal Disciplinare di produzione dell'Olio Extravergine di Oliva "Sabina" a Denominazione di Origine Protetta.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Architetture religiose e altri monumenti importanti
San Giovanni Battista
Interessanti sono il rosone in pietra ed i resti di affreschi nell'abside della chiesa parrocchiale di San Giovanni Battista, rinvenuti a seguito di un restauro degli anni Trenta. La chiesa tardo-romanica si trova all'interno della torre grande medioevale, tuttora ben conservata.

Santa Maria delle Grazie

Appena fuori dall'abitato si trovano la chiesa ed il convento di Santa Maria delle Grazie. L'installazione originaria è la chiesa, di cui si hanno notizie storiche già a partire da 956 d.C. La chiesa romanica è a base rettangolare, con quattro altari laterali, e conserva degli affreschi medioevali vicino all'altare principale. Nel 1944 i militari tedeschi durante la ritirata, nascosero all'interno della chiesa alcuni carri armati, sfondando parte della facciata principale e causando danni gravissimi. Il restauro iniziò alla fine degli anni Cinquanta seguendo fasi successive nel corso degli anni. Compongono il complesso anche i vecchi locali del convento e la foresteria, ancora in fase di restauro.

La Rocca di Ornaro Alto

Se ne hanno notizie certe intorno all'anno Mille. Se si sale su in cima alla torre si possono ammirare le fantastiche colline che circondano il borgo, andando a formare un panorama unico. Questo edificio rappresenta il cuore della storia di questo paese. La piazza sottostante alla torre (chiamata Piazza della Rocca) la collega al resto del centro storico del paesino.

Luoghi di interesse di Oliveto Sabino

Di particolare interesse sono il Palazzo Parisi e la cinquecentesca chiesa del Santissimo Salvatore, rifatta internamente negli anni 1929 - 31. Di interesse è anche la chiesa rupestre di Santa Prassede che conserva un affresco della Vergine, di Santa Barbara, e di Santa Prassede, patrona di Oliveto.

In adiacenza del cimitero di Oliveto si ricorda la tomba di Marcello Diaz, 2º Duca della Vittoria, figlio del celeberrimo Generale Armando Diaz, Maresciallo D'Italia, Duca della Vittoria.

Società

Evoluzione demografica

Infrastrutture e trasporti

Strade
L'arteria di maggiore importanza è la Strada statale 4 Via Salaria, che collega il comune a Roma e al capoluogo Rieti.

Torricella si trova lungo la strada provinciale n. 43 "Salaria vecchia", il vecchio tracciato della Strada statale 4 Via Salaria. In entrambe le direzioni, la Salaria vecchia si incrocia con il tracciato moderno della statale: a nord (in direzione Rieti) in corrispondenza della frazione Ornaro basso, a sud (in direzione Roma) in località Ponte Buida, poco prima di Osteria Nuova.

In località Capannaccia, dalla Salaria vecchia ha inizio una strada comunale che collega Torricella alla strada provinciale n. 34 "Turanense", e quindi a Rocca Sinibalda e al Lago del Turano. Un'altra strada comunale collega Torricella al vicino comune di Poggio San Lorenzo, e un'altra ancora alla frazione di Ornaro alto.

Ferrovie
Torricella non è servita da alcuna linea ferroviaria. Il paese avrebbe dovuto essere collegato dalla Ferrovia Salaria (Roma-Rieti-Ascoli Piceno-San Benedetto del Tronto), che fu più volte progettata sin dalla fine dell'Ottocento ma mai realizzata.

Geografia antropica

Frazioni
Centri abitati nel Comune, oltre al capoluogo, sono le frazioni di Oliveto e di Ornaro, articolato in due distinti centri, Ornaro alto, antico borgo fortificato pregevolmente conservato, ed Ornaro basso, all'incrocio tra il vecchio ed il nuovo tracciato della Strada statale 4 Via Salaria.

Amministrazione
Nel 1923 passa dalla provincia di Perugia in Umbria, alla provincia di Roma nel Lazio, e nel 1927, a seguito del riordino delle circoscrizioni provinciali stabilito dal regio decreto n. 1 del 2 gennaio 1927, per volontà del governo fascista, quando venne istituita la provincia di Rieti, Torricella in Sabina passa a quella di Rieti.

Here's the first track off The Decemberists' upcoming EP Florasongs
William Hughes
Ensuring that fans of slightly twee, lyrically rich story songs have access to the steady stream of whaling narratives and haunted protagonists they crave, the members of Portland-based indie rock group The Decemberists have announced that they'll be releasing a new five-song EP later this year. Dropping on October 9, Florasongs will be assembled from unused tracks recorded during the sessions that produced the band's seventh full album, What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World, which came out earlier this year. (And landed on The A.V. Club's list of the year's best albums to date.)
To promote the new compilation, frontman Colin Meloy and his cohorts have released a new single, "Why Would I Now?" Unsurprisingly, the new song sounds of a piece with What A Terrible World, with the group forgoing its earlier stylistic flourishes in favor of country-tinged strumming. Meanwhile, Meloy's distinctive voice appealingly warbles out declarations of never-ending love. You can see the EP's album art, along with the full five-song track list, below.
Florasongs track list:
01. "Why Would I Now?"
02. "Riverswim"
03. "Fits & Starts"
04. "The Harrowed And The Haunted"
05. "Stateside"
