There were approximately 5.8 million people providing unpaid care in England and Wales in 2011, representing just over one tenth of the population.
The absolute number of unpaid carers has grown by 600,000 since 2001; the largest growth was in the highest unpaid care category, fifty or more hours per week.
Unpaid care has increased at a faster pace than population growth between 2001 and 2011 in England and Wales; the same is true in Wales and across all English regions other than London, where it decreased.
The provision of unpaid care is more than twice as high in Neath Port Talbot (14.6 per cent) than in Wandsworth borough (6.5 per cent), in 2011.
Most authorities experienced increases in unpaid care between 2001 and 2011.
Authorities with higher percentages of their population who are 'limited a lot' in daily activities also have higher levels of unpaid care provided.
There is a short video about the provision of Unpaid Care in England and Wales which accompanies this release.
The provision of unpaid care in England and Wales is becoming increasingly common as the population ages, with an expectation that the demand for care provided by spouses and adult children will more than double over the next thirty years1. The provision of unpaid care is therefore an important social policy issue because it not only makes a vital contribution to the supply of care, but can also affect the employment opportunities and social and leisure activities of those providing it. Carers are a socially and demographically diverse group and as the demand for care is projected to grow, people are increasingly likely to become providers of care at some point in their lives.
The importance of unpaid care was reflected by its inclusion as an item in both the 2001 Census and 2011 Census2. The questions asked were the same in each census, therefore direct comparison over time on the number of unpaid carers and the extent of care they provide is possible at national, regional and local level, and by level of area disadvantage.
The 2001 and 2011 Census forms (2.02 Mb Pdf) asked whether you provided unpaid care to family members, friends, neighbours or others because of long-term physical or mental ill health or disability, or problems related to old age and for how many hours per week.
The 2011 Census shows there are approximately 5.8 million people providing unpaid care in England and Wales, representing just over one tenth of the population (10.3 per cent); in 2001 it was 10.0 per cent). Of these, around 3.7 million provide 1-19 hours per week, 775,000 provide 20-49 hours and 1.4 million provide 50 hours or more unpaid care.
Percentages are rounded values to one decimal place.
Levels of unpaid care were higher in Wales than in England for all categories, so that in Wales more than 12 per cent of the population were providing some level of care in 2011; however, the provision of between 1 to 19 hours of unpaid care was similar in Wales (6.9 per cent) to that in England (6.5 per cent).
Since 2001, there has been an increase of approximately 600,000 people providing unpaid care in England and Wales, 30,000 of whom are in Wales, representing a percentage increase of 3.2 per cent. The growth in unpaid care was highest in the 50 hours or more category, where an additional 271,649 carers were providing this extent of care compared with 2001; in the 1-19 hours category the number of additional carers was 109,250, and in the 20-49 hours category there was an additional 201,542.
If people, on average, are providing towards the mid-range of hours per week in the 1-19 or 20-49 hour categories, and 50 hours in the 50 hours or more category, then this amounts to approximately 3.4 million working weeks of care provided based on a standard 37 hours working week and 17 million working days in a given week in 2011.
Across English regions and Wales, the provision of between 1 and 19 hours was the most common level of care provided. London had the lowest percentage of unpaid carers and Wales the highest. London's lower level of care provision is likely to be influenced by its younger age structure, the transient nature of its population and differences in household composition.
Wales had a higher percentage of people providing unpaid care overall than any English region at 12.1 per cent, and was highest in the categories 20-49 hours and 50 hours or more.
In England, as with general health and disability, a clear north-south divide exists with the highest percentages of care provision being in the North West, North East, East and West Midlands. The only exception to this being Yorkshire and the Humber having a lower percentage than the South West. The relatively older age structure of the South West population is also likely to influence the underlying need for care compared with other southern regions such as the South East and London.
Unpaid care has been growing since 2001 in all regions, with the exception of London and Yorkshire and the Humber. The largest increase occurred in the South West, with an additional 109,602 unpaid carers, and the smallest in the North East, with 9,758 additional carers; however, the absolute number of carers increased in all regions and in Wales.
The increase in the South West may be affected by a growth in the population aged 60-69 and a fall in those aged 30-39 since 2001. Figure 4 shows the change in population structure since 2001 in both the South West and London. Comparisons of age structures between other regions and local authorities can be visualised using the animated population pyramids, selecting the regions or local authorities to compare and clicking the overlay button.
There is a 6.8 per cent difference in the amount of unpaid care provided by the residents of North East Derbyshire (13.3 per cent) and Wandsworth (6.5 per cent). This means that twice as much care is being provided in North East Derbyshire when compared with Wandsworth (Figure 5).
Of the top ten authorities providing the least care overall, nine are London boroughs, eight of which are inner London boroughs. Those authorities whose usual residents provide the most unpaid care are more mixed in their regional make-up; the majority have significant rural based populations and only St. Helens and Sefton in the North West region are major urban settlements in the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs urban – rural classification. (Disability in England and Wales, 2011 and Comparison with 2001 provides more information).
There is a strong relationship between the percentage of an authority's usual residents who are limited in daily activities1 and in the amount of unpaid care their residents provide; for example, four authorities in the top ten with the highest percentage of unpaid carers (East Lindsey, Bolsover, West Somerset and Wyre) also feature in the top ten authorities with the highest prevalence of disability.
Differences in care provision are also present by a measure of area deprivation2. Although Liverpool, the most deprived local authority in England based on the Indices of Deprivation 2010 average summary score, has a younger age structure than Hart, the least deprived, Liverpool has a higher percentage of unpaid carers. Disability-free life expectancy 3 was 10 years higher for men in Hart than Liverpool (249.5 Kb Excel sheet) in 2007-09 suggesting care needs are likely to be manifesting at earlier ages in Liverpool which may explain the higher level of unpaid care in Liverpool despite its younger age structure. An interactive map which enables information on the extent of unpaid care to be accessed for each local authority in England and Wales in 2001 and 2011 is available.
Another interesting question to ask is whether there is an unmet need for care, which could be related to the supply of care home facilities. The 2011 Census enumerated residents of medical and care establishments, which enables an assessment of how equally these facilities are distributed across local authorities. If there is an unmet need for care, it might be expected that the rate of medical and care establishment enumerations per 1000 population would be lower in those authorities where unpaid care levels are high.
Rother has the highest medical and care enumeration rate (Table 1) and is ranked 18th highest on percentage of all care durations. However, North East Derbyshire had the highest percentage of unpaid carers, but its medical and care enumeration rank is 181st. The 2011 Census suggests that local authorities with the lowest medical and care establishment enumeration rate also have lower levels of unpaid care; however, among those with the highest rates, their unpaid care ranking is more contrasting.
2. Medical and care establishments include local authority, private and voluntary sector residential and nursing care homes, NHS-run establishments, children's homes and medical establishments run by registered social landlords.
Compared with 2001, only four of the ten local authorities providing the highest percentages of unpaid care (1-50+ hours) in 2011 were in the top ten in 2001; these were North East Derbyshire, Staffordshire Moorlands, St Helens and Bolsover. The smallest change has been in North East Derbyshire where it has remained constant as the local authority which provides the most unpaid care.
Table 2 ranks the 10 authorities with the highest percentage increases and decreases in the provision of all durations of care between 2001 and 2011.
2. Percentage change in unpaid care between 2001 and 2011 is calculated by subtracting per cent providing care in 2001 from per cent providing care in 2011 and dividing the resulting figure by per cent providing care in 2001 and multiplying by 100.
West Somerset and Purbeck had the biggest changes in rank from the 64th and 65th highest respectively in 2001 to the 7th and 9th highest in 2011 (Table 2). When ranking authorities on the basis of the percentage change in care provision, 271 authorities experienced increases and only 55 authorities experienced decreases. The Isles of Scilly had the highest percentage increase in unpaid care, but its population is small and therefore had only a modest change in absolute numbers. All 10 of the top providers of care in 2011 (Figure 5) have seen increases in the percentage of carers over the decade. Of these top 10 providers of care in 2011 the largest increase was in West Somerset, which saw a percentage increase of 16.4 per cent. East Lindsey, the authority with the highest percentage of people with activity limitations was among the top 10 authorities with the highest increases in care provided.
Authorities experiencing the largest falls were urban conurbations. However, as can be seen in table 2, although all experienced a percentage fall, in all but three cases, the absolute number of carers increased, because of increases in population size over the ten years. The northern cities of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Sheffield and Bradford, and the town of Middlesbrough had the greatest fall in their ranking between 2001 and 2011 for the amount of care provided, but of these only Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Middlesbrough actually saw the absolute number of carers fall.
What these results show is that unpaid care has risen in the majority of authorities, and even in those which experienced a percentage fall, absolute numbers have increased in 320 authorities and decreased in only 6; in Birmingham the absolute number of unpaid carers increased by more than 9,000, while in Newcastle-upon-Tyne the number of unpaid carers fell by 457.
A comparison of unpaid care across all authorities in England in both 2011 and 2001 is shown in Map 1 and Map 2 respectively. The darker colours signify higher percentages and the lighter colours lower percentages with the ranges kept constant between 2001 and 2011. The key shows the number of authorities within each range in brackets.
The maps show a general increase in care provided across most English authorities, with the exception of London boroughs which are largely unchanged. Those areas with higher levels of unpaid care in 2001 were largely similar in 2011, but the extent of care increased. The coastal areas in the East of England, the South West and North West, and the central belt across the East Midlands have the highest concentrations of unpaid care in 2011 which is partly explained by higher concentrations of retired people in these authorities.
An interactive map which enables information on the extent of unpaid care to be accessed for each local authority in England and Wales in 2001 and 2011 is available.
People with health problems or disabilities which are long-lasting and reduce a person's ability to carry out the activities people usually do day-to-day, such as house keeping, cooking, paying bills, as well as self-care tasks such as washing and dressing without help. Other limitations include mobility difficulties, reaching, stretching and lifting objects, as well as sight, hearing and communication problems.
IMD Summary score rank is based on the average of LSOA ranks and takes account of material characteristics such as income, environment, housing quality, unemployment, access to services and education.
Disability-free Life Expectancy is an estimate of the average number of years a person would live without a long-standing illness or disability which limits daily activities if he or she experienced the specified population's age-specific mortality and disability rates for that time period throughout the rest of his or her life.
As shown above (Figure 5), there is twice as much total unpaid care provided by the residents of North East Derbyshire compared with the residents of Wandsworth. As care is often related to health problems and disabilities which limited daily activities, it is expected that unpaid care would be higher in those authorities with the highest prevalence of people who are 'limited a lot' in daily activities and have older age structures. Figure 6 plots the percentage of an authority's usual residents who provide 50 hours or more care per week against its percentage of people who are 'limited a lot' in daily activities.
Figure 6 shows a consistent increase in the highest levels of care provided (that is 50 or more hours per week) with increases in activity limitation. While this is to be expected, there is clearly an additional burden on relatives, friends and other informal carers in authorities with higher prevalence of activity limitations, such as East Lindsey and Knowsley and, therefore, greater reliance on unpaid carers to support the social care needs of its residents compared to authorities such as the London borough of Wandsworth.
There is a sizeable contrast in the age structure of Wandsworth and Knowsley (Figure 7), with Wandsworth having a relatively high proportion of its population in the 30-39 age group and relatively low population of state pension age. Conversely, Knowsley has a larger population of state pension age. Wandsworth's population is also likely to be more transient and therefore less likely to have family links in the immediate vicinity, mitigating the likelihood of local care commitments. Knowsley's population is more rooted, and has a higher proportion aged 45 and over, a population group at higher risk of both activity limitation and needing to provide care for family members and friends.
In terms of the change in those providing 50 hours or more unpaid care between 2001 and 2011, Table 3 ranks authorities on the percentages of their respective usual resident populations which provide 50 hours or more unpaid care in 2011, including the highest and lowest ten. All authorities, other than the City of London, had a growth in absolute numbers. In East Lindsey, the highest authority in 2011 for 50 hours or more unpaid care, the absolute number of carers increased by almost 1,400. Of the top ten authorities, eight were concentrated in the northern regions or the East Midlands.
Conversely, those authorities with the smallest percentages in 2011 were located in London, the university centres of Oxford and Cambridge and the affluent authorities of Elmbridge and Hart. All these authorities had smaller increases in 50 hours or more unpaid care compared with 2001, but all other than the City of London experienced a growth in absolute numbers ranging from 336 unpaid carers in Hart to 822 in Lambeth.
There is evidence in the literature to suggest that people providing unpaid care are at increased risk of psychological stress depending on their age and place in the labour market which has a negative effect on their mental and emotional well-being. The general health question asked in the 2011 Census encompasses mental as well as physical aspects of health. Therefore the general health status of local authority populations is likely to be influenced by the level of unpaid care its population provides.
For example, North East Derbyshire has the highest proportion of people providing unpaid care in England and this local authority's ranking on the percentage of its population in either 'Very good' or 'Good' general health was low in 2011, 293rd out of 326. East Lindsey had the highest proportion providing 50 hours or more unpaid care and it was ranked the lowest (326th) on general health. Whether this suggests care is affecting health or whether care is higher because levels of either 'Very good' or 'Good' general health are lower, and therefore there is greater need for care, is uncertain; Future data releases from the 2011 Census will enable the general health of carers by duration category to be measured, taking account of other contributing factors such as household structure, the distribution by age, gender, participation in the labour market and socio-economic position, and in the context of statutory care provision across administrative areas.
There are 22 Unitary Authorities in Wales ranging in population size and density. Cardiff has the largest population and Merthyr Tydfil the smallest.
In Wales in 2011 Neath Port Talbot was the authority with the largest percentage of its population providing unpaid care at 14.6 per cent, higher than any authority in England; Cardiff had the lowest at 10.1 per cent, representing a difference of 4.5 percentage points. The gap between authorities providing unpaid care in Wales is somewhat smaller than that in England.
An interactive map which enables information on the extent of unpaid care to be accessed for each unitary authority in Wales in 2001 and 2011 is available.
The top five authorities whose usual residents provide the highest percentages of unpaid care are concentrated in the south of Wales, while authorities with their usual residents providing the least care are spread more widely (Table 4). The likely reasons for Cardiff's lower unpaid care provision is its younger age structure; its lower percentage of the population with activity limitations and the highest percentage of its population reporting either 'Very good' or 'Good' general health. Conversely, Neath Port Talbot had the highest percentage of its population reporting activity limitations, which has been shown previously in this short story to be connected with the level of provision of 50 hours or more of unpaid care.
The highest percentage increase in all levels of unpaid care between 2001 and 2011 occurred in Monmouthshire (Table 4); while levels reduced slightly in Cardiff and Wrexham. In general Wales's unitary authorities experienced a smaller increase than authorities in England, The more rural authorities saw the greatest gains, while the traditional industrial heartlands of the valleys remained largely static with an eighth to a seventh of their populations providing some level of unpaid care.
As in England, population growth partly explains the increase in the absolute number of carers between 2001 and 2011; in Cardiff, although there was a slight fall in the percentage of the population providing unpaid care, absolute numbers increased the most, with an additional 3,833 people providing unpaid care. In fact all unitary authorities in Wales had an increase in the absolute number of carers compared with 2001.
A comparison of unpaid care across all authorities in Wales both in 2011 and 2001 is shown in Map 3 and Map 4 respectively. The darker colours signify higher percentages and the lighter colours lower percentages with the ranges kept constant in 2001 and 2011. The key shows the number of authorities within each range in brackets. Different ranges are used in the Welsh maps so the shadings are not comparable with the English maps.
As in England, the maps demonstrate a general increase in the provision of unpaid care with Camarthenshire and Monmouthshire showing the most marked increases. The same pattern of higher concentrations in South Wales and lower concentrations in North Wales is maintained.
The inequality that exists between populations is often explained in terms of area disadvantage. Measures of health status such as life expectancy and health expectancy are shown to be more favourable in some geographical locations than others and to be strongly patterned with material factors such as income, environment, housing quality, unemployment, access to services and education. These factors can be brought together into an index (such as the English Indices of Deprivation which can be applied to small areas such as lower super output areas (LSOAs) to give a measure of relative material disadvantage experienced by a specific area compared with other areas.
In order to present a picture of unpaid care and the scale of inequality that exists between population groupings, these small areas are amalgamated, on the basis of their relative level of disadvantage. The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2004 and 2010 in England, and the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2005 and 2011 in Wales, are used to group areas into tenths (deciles). Percentages of unpaid care are then calculated for these deciles.
In England there were 32,844 LSOAs with enumerated populations in 2011; use of the ONS Census Geography lookup file enables the total number of census LSOAs to be assigned an Indices of Deprivation 2010 score. LSOAs were then ranked according to their level of deprivation and grouped into tenths (deciles), with each decile consisting of approximately 3,284 LSOAs.
In Wales there were 1,909 LSOAs enumerated in the 2011 Census; the use of the ONS lookup file enables the total number of census LSOAs to be assigned a WIMD 2011 rank so that nine deciles in Wales consisted of 191 areas, and one decile 190 areas.
In England, the difference in the percentage of unpaid care between the most and least deprived areas is modest, with levels of care lower in the more deprived areas at both time points. Between 2001 and 2011, the level of care has remained largely flat among the three most deprived area deciles, but increases have occurred in the least deprived deciles (Figure 9).
Index of Multiple Deprivation 2004.
Index of Multiple Deprivation 2010.
In descending order of deprivation, i.e decile 1 represents the most deprived ten per cent of Lower Super Output Areas in England and decile 10 represents the least deprived ten per cent of Lower Super Output Areas in England.
Percentages are rounded to one decimal place.
In Wales percentages of unpaid care for each decile were higher than those in England (Figure 10). As with England, unpaid care was slightly lower in the more deprived deciles in both 2001 and 2011. Only decile 3 experienced a slight fall in unpaid care between 2001 and 2011, with the greatest increases occurring from the middle to the least deprived deciles.
Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2005.
Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2011.
Of interest is the lower level of provision of unpaid care in the more deprived deciles for the last two censuses in both England and Wales. This is surprising given that levels of either 'Very good' or 'Good' general health are lower in the more deprived deciles and rates of activity limitation are higher. A possible explanation for this could be that people in less deprived areas live longer, and therefore their populations are somewhat older and more at risk of surviving into states of dependency, whereas in the most deprived areas the mortality rate is higher.
Another potential influence is where care is being provided. Those living in less deprived areas could be providing care for people in more deprived areas, where need is likely to be greater, which would counter any relationship with deprivation. These uncertainties can only be untangled using more detailed census data tables following future releases of multivariate statistics.
Further analysis will be needed to support this provisional finding by comparing decile age structures and taking account of any future revisions to the English Indices of Deprivation, 2010 and the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation, 2011 using 2011 Census data.
Medical and care establishments include local authority, private and voluntary sector residential and nursing care homes, NHS-run establishments, children's homes and medical establishments run by registered social landlords.

2022 repressing of this 2000 album from the Alternative rockers led by Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan.
Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan offers up something to fill the collective void of fans eagerly awaiting a follow up to AENIMA. Keenan teamed with Tool guitar tech and A Perfect Circle guitarist/composer Billy Howerdel for MER DE NOMS, which is both a band effort and an engaging hard rock album, recorded while Tool renegotiated with their label and other band members took a break. But don't be fooled; A Perfect Circle is more than a one-off side project.
The band isn't nearly as brutal as Tool; the musical textures are instead spacious and melodic. Keenan maintains his brooding, emotionally charged vocal style and his knack for conjuring bleak imagery. The track most comparable to Tool's music, "Rose," utilizes rise-and-fall dynamics and unpredictably breaks away to gentle strings, while "Judith" (the album's title is French for "sea of names," hence the song titles), explores free thought and warns against blind faith, and "Orestes" departs from the predominant guitar distortion with moody, powerful results.
A Perfect Circle: Maynard James Keenan (vocals, gourd); Billy Howerdel (guitar, piano, bass, programming, background vocals); Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar); Paz Lanchantin (violin, bass, background vocals); Josh Freese (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Luciano Lenchantin (viola); Tim Alexander (drums); Draven Godwin (percussion); Keli Shafer (background vocals).

Superman (also known as Superman: The Movie) is a 1978 film directed by Richard Donner. It is based on the DC Comics character of the same name and stars Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter, Jackie Cooper, Trevor Howard, Marc McClure, Terence Stamp, Valerie Perrine, and Ned Beatty. The film depicts Superman's origin, including his infancy as Kal-El of Krypton and his youthful years in the rural town of Smallville. Disguised as reporter Clark Kent, he adopts a mild-mannered disposition in Metropolis and develops a romance with Lois Lane, while battling the villainous Lex Luthor.
Several directors, most notably Guy Hamilton, and screenwriters (Mario Puzo, David and Leslie Newman, and Robert Benton), were associated with the project before Donner was hired to direct. Tom Mankiewicz was drafted in to rewrite the script and was given a "creative consultant" credit. It was decided to film both Superman and Superman II simultaneously, with principal photography beginning in March 1977 and ending in October 1978. Tensions arose between Donner and the producers, and a decision was made to stop filming the sequel—of which 75 percent had already been completed—and finish the first film.
The most expensive film made up to that point, with a budget of $55 million and was released in December 1978 to critical acclaim and financial success, earning $300 million during its original theatrical run. Reviewers particularly praised Reeve's performance. It was nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Film Editing, Best Music (Original Score), and Best Sound Mixing, and received a Special Achievement Academy Award for Visual Effects. Groundbreaking in its use of special effects and science fiction/fantasy storytelling, the film's legacy presaged the mainstream popularity of Hollywood's superhero film franchises.
Superman II is a 1980 film directed by Richard Lester and stars Gene Hackman, Christopher Reeve, Terence Stamp, Ned Beatty, Sarah Douglas, Margot Kidder and Jack O'Halloran. The film was released in Australia and mainland Europe on 4th December 1980, and in other countries throughout 1981. Selected premiere engagements of the film were presented in Megasound, a high-impact surround sound system similar to Sensurround.
Superman II is well known for its controversial production. The original director Richard Donner had completed, by his estimation, roughly 75% of the movie in 1977 before being taken off the project. Many of the scenes were shot by second director Richard Lester, who had been an uncredited producer on the first film. However, in order to receive full director's credit, Lester had to shoot up to 51% of the film, which included refilming several sequences originally filmed by Donner. According to statements made by Donner, roughly 25% of the theatrical cut of Superman II contains footage he shot, including all of Gene Hackman's scenes. In 2006, a re-cut of the film was released titled Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, restoring as much of Donner's original conception as possible including deleted footage of Marlon Brando as Jor-El.
The film received positive reviews from film critics, who praised the visual effects and story, as well as Reeve's performance. It grossed $190 million against a production budget of $54 million. Three years after the film's release, a second sequel, Superman III, was released, for which Lester returned as director.

Bryan Falchuk had everything going for him in his career. He avoided the Dot Com bubble bursting by graduating a year early and taking a full-time internal strategy role at Liberty Mutual Insurance. A few years a couple job titles later, Bryan went back to school, earning his MBA in Business from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth University.
Afterwards, Bryan accepted a consulting position at the McKinsey & Company, where he stayed for nearly three years. Leaning on his experience in the insurance industry, Bryan took himself back into insurance and spent over six yers traveling the globe with UK-based Beazley Group.
However, while everything was looking up in his career, life at home wasn't so joyous. For decades, Bryan's wife had suffered terrible, seemingly-unprovoked 24-48hr illnesses. For a day or two at a time, she'd be a sick as she'd ever been, and then it would subside. And in 2011, she suffered another episode, only this time for weeks she wasn't getting better.
"It all came to a head on June 30th, when she was down to about 100-lbs. and losing two pounds a day," Falchuk says. "Her doctor called to tell me he was going on vacation for six weeks and he'd check in when he was back. If you do the math on that, she wasn't going to make it six weeks."
Traditional western medicine wasn't helping, and the doctors weren't helping. Bryan says this was his lightbulb moment, and if his wife weren't to recover, he'd be raising his young son alone.
In response, he and his wife turned to other, non-traditional forms of medicine, and she started to get better. Since then, Bryan's wife has made a full recovery. Bryan himself changed his routine too.
From that moment on, Bryan decided to be more intentional with his focus. He became active again, losing 50-lbs. he had gained back (after losing 100-lbs. at his peak weight), became a vegan, started endurance running, and created a system he calls "Do A Day." He wrote a short book about his concept, and is now on the speaking and podcast circuits.

TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2018 /CNW/ - Argosy Partners Ltd., a Toronto-based private equity firm, today announced it will be raising Shotgun Fund IV.
Since its inception in 1999, The Shotgun Fund has been successful in generating excellent long-term returns by providing an equity solution for the owner-managers of private, small and medium-sized Canadian businesses involved in shareholder disputes, or who simply require shareholder liquidity quickly and quietly.
The Shotgun Clause, frequently found in private company agreements, is often abused.
"That's where we come in," says Richard Reid, General Partner of The Shotgun Fund. "We level the playing field. Our focus has always been on investing in small and medium sized businesses by partnering with owner managers. Surprisingly, it's still a largely overlooked market."
Argosy's focus has paid off substantially. The company has just wound up Shotgun Fund 1, having recently returned almost six times its original capital to its investors over 18 years, for an annual internal rate of return of more than 13 per cent.
Sale of Logistik Unicorp Inc.
The launch of Shotgun Fund IV, which is seeking up to $50-million in limited partnership commitments, follows the sale last month of Quebec-based Logistik Unicorp Inc. to private equity firm Wynnchurch Capital. Argosy, through Shotgun Fund 1, became an investor in Logistik Unicorp in late 2000 – the fund's second investment.
"Logistik Unicorp is a major success story, and we're proud to have played an important role in that success," says Reid. "The fund was conceived to operate exactly the way it did with Logistik Unicorp by providing a quick, discrete solution which led to a long-term relationship with the operator. Together, we created lots of value for everyone involved."
With the winding up of Shotgun Fund I (Shotgun Funds II and III were previously wound up, establishing Argosy as Canada's leader in this niche), it's on to Shotgun Fund IV.
"The interest from family offices and business people has been encouraging, says Larry Klar, a Partner at Argosy. "A lot of private equity firms in Canada have vacated the space for funding small and medium-sized companies. Not us. We're here to stay. This is what we've been doing for 20 years. It's our passion."
Argosy Partners Ltd. is a private equity firm based in Toronto. Argosy combines its capital with that of a number of successful entrepreneurs and institutional investors to deliver a range of effective financial solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. www.argosypartners.com

PATRIARCH ATHENAGORAS, THE POPE, AND FREEMASONRY
Cari amici e nemici di Stilum Curiae, One Peter Five ha tradotto in inglese l'articolo di SC di ieri su Atenagora, la Chiesa e la Massoneria. Lo offriamo ai lettori di lingua inglese.
Do you all remember the historic encounter [in 1964] between Pope Paul VI and Patriarch Athenagoras, the embrace that opened the way to the season of ecumenism between Rome and Constantinople, after centuries and centuries of opposition? Well, a newly published article, "A Different Look At Spirituality" by Bertrand Heyraud, published in the official journal of the Grand National Lodge of France [Les cahiers Villard de Honnecourt], contains some news that one may judge to be more or less curious, more or less significant, depending on the viewpoint of the observer, especially in this moment for the Catholic Church that is so unique.
Bertrand Heyraud, a Mason who is interested in Christianity, writes, speaking about the Orthodox world:
The unity of these churches is symbolized by the patriarch of Constantinople (Istanbul) whose word and decisions are preponderant because he is considered to be and is respected as Primus inter pares (the first among equals), and it is here that we find a notable surprise.
Those who are a bit older will recall an extraordinary encounter. It took place in Jerusalem on Sunday, June 5, 1964. The frail white figure of the pope standing before the imposing stature of Athenagoras, the luxuriantly bearded patriarch of Constantinople, seemed even more fragile and emotion was at the highest.
Then there was the historic embrace, and even if naturally all of the divergences and differences were not canceled out, "there remained the fact that the highest expression of the authority of Orthodoxy, the patriarch of Constantinople, had reconciled with the bishop of Rome."
And then Heyraud provides his theatrical coup:
But surprise! Not only had Athenagoras received Masonic initiation, he was further enrolled in the 33rd degree of the Ancient Scottish and Accepted Masonic rite, just as his predecessor, Meletios Metaxakis, had been. For a long time this reality was not shouted from the rooftops and remained, if not hidden, at least discreet. But my visit to the headquarters of the Grand Lodge of Greece removed all my doubts: because there, hanging side by side on the wall, we can find the photographs of Meletios and Athenagoras.
Heyraud comments further:
Thus if these two important persons have judged, contrary to the position of Cardinal Ratzinger, that Masonry is reconcilable with the doctrine of the Church, to the point of becoming Masons and receiving Masonic initiation, this ought to answer certain questions that at times are raised by some of our Christian brothers [in Masonry]. Their example can only give an example of tolerance, of understanding, and of mercy, ideals that are so dear to Pope Francis.
To this point, we cannot help but recall an article written on Stilum Curiae some time ago, whose contents are no longer updated by the author, but into which the article we refer to above may rightly be inserted [as another example of Masonic love for Pope Francis].
And still speaking about the Church, we cannot help but recall that Gioele Magaldi, grand master and author of La scoperta delle Ur-Lodges [The Discovery of the Ur-Lodges (trans-national secret lodges)], affirms that Angelo Roncalli, when he was in Istanbul [where he served as apostolic delegate from 1935 to 1944], became affiliated with a Masonic Lodge. Magaldi dedicates an entire chapter to the question entitled: "The Mason and Rosicrucian Angelo Roncalli alias Pope John XXIII, the Second Vatican Council, and The Modern Harmony between Religious Esoterism and Masonic Esoterism as a Function of a Renewed Season of Equality, Brotherhood, and Liberty (1958–1968)." Both on this point as well as on many others, the author claims to have documentary evidence at his disposal, but unfortunately, he says he is willing to reveal it (it is said to be guarded by a non-Italian notary) only if legally forced to. Naturally, this does not strengthen his argument. But I believe we can surmise without any problem that the Church has been "infiltrated" by Masonry at many levels, even the highest levels. I personally know individuals, now no longer with us, who were part of the College of Cardinals and who did not remain indifferent to the call of the Freemasons.
Thus, this is a field of research in which every evaluation appears possible, and the contacts between the two worlds are perhaps more frequent than one may think. It has never been denied that Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio, whenever he used to visit Italy, would visit [Masonic venerable master] Licio Gelli at Villa Wanda — a fact that is certainly not business as usual.

Q: $\overline{\text{span}(h_n(x))} = L^2(\mathbf{R}) \iff$ if $f \in L^2(\mathbf{R})$ satisfies $(f,h_n)=0$ for all $n$, then $f=0$? In the context of Hermite Polynomials (here) it is stated that $\overline{\text{span}(h_n(x))} = L^2(\mathbf{R}) \iff$ if $f \in L^2(\mathbf{R})$ satisfies $(f,h_n)=0$ for all $n$, then $f=0$. How does this equivalence follow? Here $h_n$ are the Hermite polynomials, but I think I have seen similar arguments for other families of functions as well so the particular form of $h_n$ is probably not central for my question.
Attempt: I considered a finite space to get some intuition. Let $V$ be a vector space with dimension $\text{dim}(V)=n$ and $v \in V$ be some element. Further let $H \subseteq V$. It seems like the inner product condition ($(f,h_k)=0, \forall k$) would translate to
$va + h_k a_k = 0 => a=a_k=0, \forall k$.
where $h_k \in H$ and $a, a_k$ are elements of some field (say the complex numbers). If this in turn implies that $v=0$, this should somehow, be equivalent to, for all $u \neq 0$ in $V$, it exists complex coefficients $b_1, ..., b_n$ such that:
$
v' = b_1h_1 + ... + b_nh_n.
$
But I couldn't make a clear argument.

Excellent service as usual, there was a problem to start with over my payment but I phoned up after receiving a letter telling me and spoke to a really friendly, helpful lady who put the payment through immediately and processed my order.
pinapple knocked off when package opened' but not inside 'so assume that this was sent with out the fruit.
This was a replacement of a damaged in transit plant.
Sent swiftly and without any problems after sendind photos of damage.
only downside was parcel was left on doorstep by courier on the Saturday and I did not return home until the Monday. Anyone could have taken it.
Good healthy condition with one large fruit and multiple shoots.
Arrive as promised and very well package so no damage to the plants whatsoever!!
I bought the plant as a gift for my sister, she was very pleased with it.
Though a mistake was made in number on order, GB corrected it quickly and all got sorted!
Lovely looking plant. I am going to re-pot it this weekend and hope the little Pineapple on top gets big enough to eat.
Brilliant , and reasonably priced. It now has pride of place in my front window.
More extensive instructions would be helpful.
Apologies again for the damage. Glad to hear that your replacement tree is in better condition.
The plant was very healthy & large. The compost was moist . It arrived very securely packaged. I was very pleased with my purchase. The plant continues to thrive.
Easy ordering , delivered asap. Unfortunately no specific care instruction for the plant, just general "Mediterranean" type plants- is Pineapple a Mediterranean plant?
The time-scale that we advertise is 7-10 working days - not 3 - and this was also confirmed by email. I am sorry if you were expecting your order sooner, however I am afraid I am not sure why.

De stora talens lag är en sats inom sannolikhetsteorin, som innebär att det aritmetiska medelvärdet av ett stort antal oberoende observationer av en slumpvariabel med stor sannolikhet ligger nära variabelns väntevärde. De stora talens lag kan sägas motsvara uttrycket "Det jämnar ut sig i det långa loppet", under vissa omständigheter.

Historia

Bernoullis sats
Den första versionen av stora talens lag formulerades och bevisades av Jacob Bernoulli i början på 1700-talet av, Bernoullis sats, men publicerades inte förrän åtta år efter hans död. Det Bernoulli visade motsvarar svaga stora talens lag, med fallet då de ingående stokastiska variablerna endast antar två värden. Egentligen behandlade han det omvända jämfört med hur stora talens lag idag brukar formuleras; givet ett utfall från N antal försök, hur kan vi då bestämma väntevärdet (Om vi tar upp N kulor ur en påse med enbart blåa och gula kulor, vad kan vi då säga om den totala fördelningen?)?

I sitt arbete beräknade Bernoulli även att det, exempelvis, krävs 25 500 observationer för att med säkerheten 1000/1001 landa på rätt svar +/- 1/50, om väntevärdet är 30/50.

Generalisering
Siméon Denis Poisson försökte på 1830-talet att generalisera Bernoullis sats, vilken dock blev omdiskuterad. Sin nuvarande formulering fick de stora talens lag 1933 av Andrej Kolmogorov, även om det än idag presenteras nya varianter för olika specialfall.

Användning i praktiken

Några användningsområden
 Försäkringar: De stora talens lag är mycket användbar när det gäller försäkringar, då den kan ge en ungefärlig förutsägelse över framtida händelser utifrån tidigare år. Ju fler kunder ett försäkringsbolag har, desto mindre påverkar slumpen. Vid större förändringar och trender, till exempel klimatförändringar, är den dock åtminstone delvis oanvändbar.
 Spelbolag: Om ett spel i genomsnitt kommer att ge vinst åt arrangören, kommer även arrangören, efter tillräckligt många spelomgångar, att gå med vinst.
 Medicin: De stora talens lag minimerar ett slumpmässigt beteende av medicinska åtgärder.
 Naturvetenskap: Påverkan från icke regelmässiga mätfel kan minimeras genom att göra många mätningar.

En felaktig tolkning
En vanlig misstolkning av de stora talens lag är följande:

Missförstånd: "Om man kastar tärning ett antal gånger, och får fler, säg, femmor än förväntat (dvs ), kommer tärningen framöver att tendera att visa färre femmor än förväntat (dvs ), för att den totala andelen ska kunna närma sig 1/6, i enlighet med De stora talens lag."

Detta är en helt felaktig tolkning. Detta strider mot förutsättningen att observationerna ska vara oberoende, det vill säga att de inte ska påverkas av tidigare utfall, vilket de ju gör i detta missförstånd.

Matematik

De stora talens lag i svag form
Låt  vara medelvärdet av n inbördes oberoende stokastiska variabler med gemensam sannolikhetsfördelning, och  vara summan av de n första -variablerna:

och
.

Om väntevärdet  är ändligt gäller för alla  att

.

De stora talens lag i stark form
Låt  vara samma stokastiska variabel som ovan och antag återigen att väntevärdet  är ändligt. Då gäller att

Skillnaden mellan starka och svaga formen
Den svaga formen säger att sannolikheten för att  ska konvergera mot  går mot 1, då n går mot oändligheten. Den starka formen säger å sin sida att sannolikheten att  ska konvergera mot  är 1.

Värt att notera är även att den starkare formen implicerar den svaga, medan den svaga inte implicerar den starka.

Bevis för ett specialfall
Det här är ett bevis för svaga stora talens lag med specialfallet stokastiska variabler som enbart antar värdena 0 och 1 med sannolikheten 1/2 vardera, exempelvis en slantsingling. Då gäller alltså att väntevärdet  = 1/2. Notationen med  och  används som ovan. Då väntevärdesoperatorn är linjär, gäller att
 samt
.
Låt , så att variansen hos  är . Definiera sedan funktionen
.
Här gäller  och därmed . Väntevärdet för denna funktion kan då skrivas .
Vi kan lösa ut att
.
Om vi sedan konstaterar att  om och endast om  får vi

Kan vi nu visa att högerledet i ovanstående olikhet går mot noll då  går mot oändligheten (alltså ett gränsvärde), har vi bevisat specialfallet. Definitionen av varians respektive  ger

 och  kan enbart anta värdena 0 resp 1. Då  (n olika fall) gäller alltså att . Då  gäller   med sannolikheten 1/2 vardera, dvs produkten blir 1/4 resp -1/4 med sannolikhet 1/2 vardera. För väntevärdet gäller då
Sammanfattningsvis ser vi alltså att

och därmed att

vilket går mot 0 då . Därmed får vi, för alla , att

.

Därmed är specialfallet av svaga stora talens lag bevisad. Det är fullt möjligt att gå vidare och även bevisa starka stora talens lag för detta fall, och även för mer generella fall.

New Opening: Marsa Malaz Kempinski, The Pearl Doha
Management team explain how they will look to redefine luxury in the Qatari capital
by Rahul Odedra
The hotel is vividly lit up at night.
Swimming pools at the hotel.
A deluxe room.
The hotel's focus on art continues in a Panoramic Suite.
Bohemia, the hotel's lounge bar.
The management team at Marsa Malaz Kempinski, the first five-star property on The Pearl - Doha, explains how the hotel is aiming to redefine luxury and drive change in the market
"We want to show the guest that there is something different in Doha. We want to show them that luxury will start now. This hotel will give something which was not given in Doha before."
Words spoken with utter conviction by general manager Wissam Suleiman and, coming before the hotel has even had its grand opening — expected later this year — a bold statement, which sets incredible expectations for the property.
However, Suleiman's confidence and aplomb is equally matched by his hotel, the Marsa Malaz Kempinski, The Pearl — Doha.
As the guest approaches the property, it is not just the scale, design and vibrant colours, which stand out. Rather, it is an 18-metre-tall bronze sculpture of a horse by celebrated Iraqi artist Ahmed Albahrani, which will undoubtedly become the standout feature of the hotel.
It sets the tone for a property which, with a mix of European and Middle Eastern styles, has little time for subtlety — at least when it comes to design. The vast lobby is punctuated with imposing Murano glass chandeliers, while paintings, prints and sculptures are present in just about every room, outlet and corridor.
Of course, with the region starting to move away from the days of five-star hotels as trophy assets, and owners no longer willing to see money go down a black hole, visuals alone will not do the job; commercial realities are still at the forefront of Suleiman's mind.
"Yes we want to show luxury and give the best to the guest, but at the end it is about the financials," he reasons.
"If the owner gives the trust to Kempinski to operate this palace, he should know that his return is coming to him."
To that end, he has clearly set within his sights the average occupancy for five-star hotels in Doha — 70-75% — although at the beginning he is aiming for a more conservative 35-40%.
It is on rates, however, where the new hotel will seek to set itself apart from the competition, aiming to be 10-15% above the market. "We have the right product and we are not afraid. People don't mind paying more if they get more."
As for that competition, Suleiman highlights St. Regis, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton and Grand Hyatt as being within the comp set although, clearly an ambitious man by nature, Suleiman has a mantra that "whomever takes business from you is your competitor".
While corporate business is the clear driver for five-star hotels in Doha, the management team at Marsa Malaz is bullish about its prospects on the leisure front. Indeed, it is aiming for a mix of 60% corporate and 40% leisure.
"We want to become a destination here," asserts Suleiman. "You come here and there are 11 [F&B] outlets, you have the spa, the pool, the beach. It's not only for a one night stay. Maybe you can stay for three or four nights. This is what is missing in Doha."
Marsa Malaz is the first hotel Suleiman has been involved with as a general manager in the pre-opening stage; now in Doha for the past three years — the first two of which he spent as GM of Kempinski Residences & Suites Doha — he has been responsible for putting together an 'all-star' team to head up a key property for the operator.
"We took a decision that all the management team should have a Kempinski background," he explains.
"We know what Kempinski is, what the standard is, what the guest is thinking and what the expectations are. Most of them have done openings before. We were looking for, within the company, experts in opening and people that have worked in difficult and different places. We were looking for people with common sense."
One of those recruited was Julia Lupanova, who came across from Kempinski Hotel & Residences on Palm Jumeirah in July to take on the role of director of sales & marketing. Discussing the hotel's leisure ambitions, she points to interest already being shown at international exhibitions, as well as the close relationship and coordination with Qatar Airways and Qatar Tourism Authority.
"We are planning to have lots of familiarisation trips for the major tour operators and agencies internationally to come and get first-hand experience of what Doha can offer," she says.
"We believe that Doha has huge potential as a leisure destination, with beautiful beaches and with attractions, and we are very much developing on a cultural side here. So there is a lot to offer leisure travellers — much more than just a stopover."
Of course, corporate business is expected to continue to be the dominant segment, and Lupanova has spent the last few months laying down the groundwork in this space too.
"Considering Doha is very much a business destination, we are focusing on corporate clients, but also paying big attention to the wholesalers and MICE planners.
"We really feel that Doha is growing as a MICE destination. We have started to receive more and more requests from international markets for a conference or group or event. So MICE will be one of our long-term strategies."
One unavoidable subject when discussing the new hotel is alcohol. The hotel will be the first location on The Pearl to serve alcohol since a 'ban' came into place at the end of 2011. This is due to the current rules and regulations in Qatar — only five-star hotels can have a license.
While it may well give the hotel an edge over other F&B venues on the manmade island, it is an issue the hotel is
understandably approaching with sensitivity.
"For me, good beverage goes with great food," explains executive assistant manager for F&B Steven Pieters. "This is not something we are clapping our hands for and saying success is guaranteed. This is a very delicate subject and we need to make sure that we manage expectations. We will continue to operate as any five-star luxury hotel does and the fact we have beverages is a bonus for the project."
As with the rest of its competition, social media is already a key tool in the hotel's arsenal as it looks to make an impact, and the enthusiasm for the medium comes right from the top.
"If today we don't use social media, it will be the biggest failure. In Qatar, if you don't have one mobile phone, you have two. To communicate with everyone, it's easy," Suleiman enthuses. "You push one picture and it's everywhere. We want to show the difference. We want to show that we are something new."
The general manager himself is active on Instagram (@wissamsuleiman) and heartily encourages his managers to jump onto social media. Indeed, this fits in with his overall mission to empower the hotel's employees.
"We have to motivate staff and take care of mid-management," he says. "They are the most important [people] in the hotel as they have direct contact with rank and file staff.
"Yes, the management are putting in the strategy, but the ones who are making it fact are mid-management and rank and file. We should always follow up with them, talk to them and let them feel we are behind them. If you give them motivation, they will always give the right service. They should believe in their management and in their property."

The Team's Favourite Features
WISSAM SULEIMAN: First is the horse [sculpture at the front of the hotel]. We have the biggest bronze horse in Qatar and even in the region. I also love the interior of our Royal suite. It's a mix of European and Middle Eastern art inside.
MATTIAS ROOCK: For me, the Illusions rooftop. If you are up there, the view is amazing. Also, the lobby — last time when I passed there with my parents, they just said: "Wow!"
STEVEN PIETERS: The view from the grand staircase looking up into the hotel; I find it hard to believe that this is a hotel, and the team spirit which we've generated in a very short space of time. We've become such a close-knit group of people from excom all the way down through the levels.
JULIA LUPANOVA: El Faro restaurant, because it's totally unique and because of the atmosphere we've created, with authentic Spanish food. I'm also thinking about the Marsa Malaz Panoramic Suite, which is like heaven on earth.

Neuchatel, a small Swiss city mainly known to Scottish sports fans as a place where Celtic once got an unsuspected doing, was host for the draw of the European Professional Club Rugby Champions and Challenge Cup group stages, which pooled Scotland's two professional clubs up against some familiar faces but also offered an intriguing trip to the unknown for Edinburgh.
Despite making the quarter-finals for the first time this year, Glasgow, after a disappointing domestic campaign by recent high standards, were only fourth seeds in Pool C, and will square up to newly crowned English Premiership champions Exeter Chiefs, familiar Pro12 foes Leinster, and Montpellier, who will have former Scotland coach Vern Cotter at the rudder.
The Warriors have faced off against Exeter and Montpellier in the group stages of the same competition not so long ago, seasons 13/14 and 14/15 respectively, with the Warriors winning all 4 of the contests, but we should take little from those results. Exeter's rise to domestic glory this past season draws parallels to Glasgow's own ascent, steadily building year on year until reaching the summit just weeks ago. They scored 90 tries in the regular season in the process so expectations of high-scoring, entertaining matches would not be amiss.
The scale of change at Glasgow this season cannot be under-estimated. Gordon Reid, Josh Strauss, Mark Bennett; all gone. Fan favourite, Simone Favaro, Tongan international Sila Puafisi, club veterans Peter Murchie and Sean Lamont, they're away too, but most of all, Gregor Townsend has left and Dave Rennie is coming in. And he's bringing reinforcements.
Does Vern Cotter's knowledge of the Glasgow boys give Montpellier any tactical advantage? For me, no. If any opposition don't already know of the threat carried by Hogg, Seymour, Russell and co., then their coaching staff have been slacking off big time. Cotter facing off against his fellow assistant coaches will add a nice sidebar to the story though.
Exeter are English champions, Leinster had a very good season, following a couple of years where they'd fallen below their exceptionally high standards, and Montpellier seem to be on the up again, with a Test-level manager and top talent like Fijian power-house Nemani Nadolo to call on. This could be fun.
To the Challenge Cup, and Edinburgh, who saved their best performances of last season for the same competition where they too reached the quarter-finals.
The capital side were drawn in Pool 4 alongside reigning champions Stade Francais, London Irish – newly back in the Aviva Premiership and now with their very own informant for the Scottish Rugby Blog (I must have missed this – Ed), and finally there's Siberian debutantes Krasny Yar, from Russian rugby heartland Krasnoyarsk, primarily made up of Russian internationalists. Regardless of this, obtaining maximum points from unfamiliar surroundings is a must for Edinburgh.
By the time the opening fixture comes around in mid-October, new manager Richard Cockerill will hope to have instilled some defensive discipline into his side, as far too often last year they gifted opponents a head start. And far too often than not, failed to catch up.
Vital to Edinburgh's chances will be keeping their big-name players out of the treatment room and on the pitch. WP Nel, Al Dickinson and John Hardie were beset with injury woes last year, and there's only so many times Hamish Watson can be outstanding.
Speaking of which, Watson and/or Hardie will likely come up against the man they've usurped for the Scotland 7 jersey, Blair Cowan, and Nel should lock heads with international front row partner Gordon Reid when Irish come calling. Gregor Townsend will be keeping a close eye on those tussles, and also potentially the form of Greig Tonks who made a surprise addition to the summer tour squad.
Stade Francais may not be the force they were, but as reigning champions, and with a squad list including the likes of Will Genia, Pascal Pape, Morne Steyn and Sergio Parisse, earning anything from these games would be a bonus.
I do fancy Edinburgh's chances of getting through. Unfortunately I see Krasny being the group whipping boys, Stade are clear favourites, and although a long summer of recruitment is ahead, l don't think Irish will be able to improve their squad enough to match a fully fit Edinburgh, who will also be looking to add to the capture of Robbie Freuan with another couple of signings.
It'll be tough, but with the squad Glasgow already have in place for next season, winning all three at Scotstoun and at least one away is well within their abilities, and that's enough to give them a chance. Win two, as they did last time, and it's back to back quarter finals.
With fixtures still to be arranged, the games commence on 12th October 2017, with the finals weekend beginning 11th May 2018 in the Spanish city of Bilbao.


The Main Quad on Sunday, Oct 2, 2016.
The University's Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council announced their executive board members for 2017.
The Greek councils are student-run government bodies that celebrate "friendship, leadership, scholarship, service and social advancement, while appreciating the diversity of their member organization," according to their websites.
The 2017 Interfraternity Council executive board members are Dakota Clayton, Kevin Staniszewski, Kevin Kramer, Ben Samborn, Ricky Guminrov, Jacob Komenda, Samuel Gainer, Ross Bessinger and president David Kessler.
The 2017 Panhellenic Executive Board members are Marissa Sulek, Alison Owczarski, Sarah Batterson, Madison Ellin, Delaney Laurence, Erin Donovan, Abby Baum, Kelly Aukamp, Lauren Southwood and Emily Jacobs.
Sulek, the Panhellenic Council president, said she has wanted to be on the Panhellenic Council since recruitment of her freshman year. She gave up her chance to study abroad in England in exchange for the position.
Sulek's primary goal is to promote cooperation with the Interfraternity Council, the United Greek Council and the Black Greek Council. She also hope to work with the 2017 executive board to plan successful Pride Events and formal recruitment, among other occasions.
She also hopes to be a mentor and counselor for current chapter presidents and Panhellenic delegates.
Kessler said his goals as Interfraternity Council president include increasing overall fraternity membership, raising the average fraternity GPA and establishing an annual school-wide philanthropy event that brings the community together for a great cause.
On top of that, Kessler plans to focus on raising sexual assault awareness, since it is something that has been plaguing the fraternity community all over the country.
Both Sulek and Kessler mentioned that they hope to follow the path laid by their predecessors, Liam McHugh and Samantha Rothman, while learning from their mistakes.
Kessler hopes to hear more ideas and constructive criticism directly from the fraternity chapters governed by the Interfraternity Council, so that chapters can become closer and rely on each other for support and advice.
Sulek has similar plans for her term to help the chapter houses work together for overall success.
"During the school year I plan on making the chapter president meetings more of a discussion than a lecture," Sulek said.
Both Kessler and Sulek expressed confidence in working with the rest of the board to create a united group in the upcoming year.

Police Officer Satisfaction with the Portland Providence Triage Center
Charles, Kelly
An abstract of the clinical research project of Kelly Mahara Charles for the degree of Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies: August 1, 1999. Title: Police Officer Satisfaction with Portland Providence Crisis Triage Center. Objective. The purpose of this study was to examine police officer satisfaction with the Portland Providence Crisis Triage Center (CTC). Methods. A client satisfaction survey of thirty-five police officers who had transported patients to the Portland Providence Crisis Triage Center (eTC) was conducted between May 24 and July 1, 1999. Satisfaction was measured on a four point Likert scale, questioning eight components of service provided by the CTC, primarily to police officers in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. Results. A total of thirty-five surveys were analyzed. Both the median and mode overall satisfaction ratings were four on a four point maximum-satisfaction scale. Seventy-two percent of all responses to all questions were four. Twenty-six percent of responses were three. Less than three percent of the respondents rated any question less than three. Qualitative data revealed several respondents concerned with limiting divert status and listening to the mobile radio. The remainder were primarily positive comments. Conclusions. Study findings suggest that the police officers are generally satisfied with the Portland Providence Crisis Triage Center.

Which seems like it would link in the missing functions, declared in libtest.h and defined in libtest.c.
This is my first CMake project, so I'm a little lost. What's going on here?
