Campus Edge / Mixed-Use Facilities Financial Analysis
B&D was engaged as part of the Schooley Caldwell Associates-MKSK Studios team to update Ohio University's Ridges Master Plan in 2014. The Ridges is a large building complex and open space area on the university's campus edge that formerly housed health care facilities and, before that, a World War II radar installation. Our role was to lead the economic analysis, including analysis of individual project developments and opportunities for the Ridges as a whole, creation of development budgets and ongoing revenue and expense projections, and identification of implementation pathways, including partnership and funding strategies. The project began with a work session to review a variety of programmatic uses for the Ridges and an analysis of eight development scenarios being considered by the university. We developed a comprehensive, integrated economic model to analyze and evaluate the plan's various elements and created an economic model that allowed for testing of a broad range of ownership scenarios with private, public, and quasi-public partners to maximize funding opportunities. The model also projected all financial implications associated with each facility investment by integrating its building program, funding assumption, development costs, revenue calculations, and operating expenses into a single evaluation tool. Potential funding sources were also defined in our analysis, including:
• Federal historic tax credits
• Ohio historical tax credits
• New market tax credits
• Tax increment financing
• Fundraising / grants/ public funding / capital infusion
Recommendations for the university's next steps were to select a preferred program, evaluate delivery options, consider establishing a for-profit entity, create a strategic phasing plan, and engage a development partner, as needed. Our analysis will allow the university to proceed with its chosen plan knowing that detailed implementation and operating decisions can be made within the established parameters without compromising the project scope or quality.

Ever have a couple of hours to kill between flights or trains? Rose at Dezeen shows us the Sleepbox, from Russian architects Arch Group. They envisage this tiny booth being installed in airports, train stations and shopping centers.They squeeze a lot into what looks like a four foot wide space- a two foot wide bed and a drop-down desk with storage under the bed. It is an interesting exercise in seeing how small a space one can comfortably live in, but one suspects that the opportunity for, um, misuse might keep this idea of the 15 minute hotel room from going mainstream.
SLEEPBOX is a small mobile space (box) 2mx1.4mx2.3m (h). The main functional element in it is a bed 2×0.6 m, which is equipped with automatic system of change of bed linen. Bed is soft, flexible strip of foamed polymer with the surface of the pulp tissue. Tape is rewound from one shaft to another, changing the bed. If a client wants to sleep in maximum comfort, he can take the normal set of bed linen for an extra fee.
After the clients exit, automatic change of bed linen starts and quartz lamps turns on. Payment can be made on a shared terminal, which provides the client with an electronic key. It is possible to buy from 15 minutes to several hours.
It is sort of an urban shed, a quiet place to get away for work or rest in a busy world. Not much smaller than a room at the Pod Hotel in New York, either. More at Dezeen.

The Man With No Name Accused of Cultural Appropriation!
A white man should not wear a poncho!
The man with no name, the bounty hunter sometimes called "Blondie" has been asked to removed his poncho and give it back to the Mexican people.
"White men should not wear ponchos" said a spokesman for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Mexicans.
This is a white man. A bounty hunter. Like all white men he is a born killer. He kills because as a bounty hunter he is paid to kill. Typical of white people. Why can't he wear what white people wear? Why must he defame an entire race, a race of color, by wearing a poncho? The poncho has a long and proud tradition among the Mexican peoples. If you see someone wearing a poncho do you say "Is he American?" No. You say "Poncho! He must be Mexican." Indeed ponchos are the signature look of Mexicans. That and the guitars they carry to strum on the NYC subway to make a living. I ask that this man, Blondie, take his poncho off now and return it to the Mexican consulate in the New Mexico territory. It's a question of social justice!
Indeed the hashtag #makeblondieremovehisponcho has begun trending on Twitter. Many Hollywood celebrities have joined the campaign to make Blondie take off his signature Mexican outfit.
"This is cultural appropriation at its worst" said comedienne Amy Schumer. "I'm so upset by this I may have to eat some donuts."
"All white men should be rounded up and raped" said Joy Behar on The View.
"We must protect Mexicans from being culturally appropriated" co-host Whoopie Goldberg commented. Warming to her theme, Goldberg continued:
As a black woman I know a thing or two about cultural appropriation. Look at all the things the white man has stolen from us: The Pyramids, which were built by the black man. The Bible, which was inspired by African culture. And lets not forget Jews! I am a Jew. The Jews of the Bible were from sub-Saharan Africa! That is a fact. Look it up. As a person of color I call on Congress to protect the Mexican people and their cultural artifacts. If we have to we should segregate Mexicans into some sort of cultural ghetto where they will never again fear the white man stealing their ponchos!
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has announced a ban on cross-border poncho trade.
First the Yankees steal Texas. Then they steal California. Now they are stealing our ponchos. Reconquista! Reconquista our ponchos! We Mexicans care deeply about this. That and not being executed by drug gangs.
The object of the outrage, the man known as Blondie, had this to say about the poncho controversy:
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
No one knows exactly what he means by this but some suspect that the digging reference is in itself culturally appropriating the work of gravediggers.

LSP says:
Notice how the cisgender racist oppressor threatens with his "gun." We have to go to war with Russia.
Everyone agrees we must go to war with Russia. The only difference is some believe we should go to war before impeaching Trump while some believe we should only go to war after impeaching him.
Petermc3 says:
In a live interview on last night's Butchie"Madcow" Maddow show Presidente Nieto (Nieto means grandson in the language of the border crossers) pledged to take back the Bronx from the Dominicans.
Reconquer! Reconquer! (That's English for reconquista!)

A former Penthouse Pet, who was accused of helping smuggle the drug ice into Australia, has been sentenced to a minimum of six-and-a-half years in jail.
Simone Farrow was arrested seven years ago on the Gold Coast, accused of being a drug kingpin who posted top-quality meth concealed in bath products to buyers in Australia.
Prosecutors alleged the 41-year-old ran the dug ring, under the name of Simone Star, while she was in the United States to pursue a career is music and modelling. It was also claimed she used staff from her business to assist the operation.
The former Penthouse Pet denied the allegations, claiming her employees ran the drug network and took control of her bank accounts, email addresses and mobile phone without her knowledge.
Judge David Arnott ruled Farrow had gained substantial income for her role in the drug smuggling and was guilty of communicating with customers, creating invoices for consignments devising false names and addresses.
"Whilst I'm not able to find that she was the principal behind the criminal enterprise, I find she played a principal role," he said.
Th 41-year-old was given an overall sentence of 11 years. With time already served she will be eligible for parole in February 2019.

Showerwall kits and accessories can be used to customize your showerwall panels with colour coordinated trims and sealants which are needed when joining, stacking or panelling corners of a room. Showerwall square edge panels require trims and sealant for joining and stacking where as tongue and groove panels only require sealants without the need for trims, excluding corner joints.
Some showerwall panels are made from gloss HPL so abrasive cleaners and bleaches are not suitable. Showerwall panels can be cleaned with our showerwall surface cleaner, pipes and shower fittings can also be sealed with our range of colour sealants.
Shower seals are available for mounting panels above showers and baths and U-trims are also available for concealing exposed ends of showerwall panels.


"New Year's Evil" is an endangered species - a plain, old-fashioned, gory thriller. It is not very good. It is sometimes unpleasantly bloody. The plot is dumb and the twist at the end has been borrowed from hundreds if not thousands of other movies. But as thrillers go these days, "New Year's Evil" is a throwback to an older and simpler tradition, one that flourished way back in the dimly remembered past, before 1978.
In the last couple of years, as faithful readers will have noticed, there has been an epidemic of incredibly sadistic, cruel, anti-female thrillers. I call them Geek Movies, named after the guy at the carnival who used to eat live chickens. These movies exist only as a vehicle for presenting us with disgusting and depraved scenes. A recent example: "Mother's Day."
"New Year's Evil," on the other hand, is almost quaint in the way it corresponds to the conventions and cliches of an earlier time. Consider. It contains (a) a time-structure for its murders, which are timed to follow the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve across four time zones; (b) a killer who is made known to the audience, along with his own handy kit of Freudian hang-ups; (c) a stalwart police detective who seals off buildings and runs up and down stairwells a lot; (d) a threatened heroine, and (e) additional exploitable plot material.
Of these five key ingredients, (e) is the most crucial. I'll explain. Until fairly recently, the producers of horror movies never quite believed that a horror plot was enough, all by itself, to entertain an audience. They always looked for a gimmick they could throw into the basic plot, to spice it up. The gimmick could be technical (like Shock Alarms that sounded before every murder, or giving the audience their choice of two different endings), it could be satirical (ripping off other movies), or it could be promotional (advertising that John Travolta was in the movie when, in fact, he had a five-second bit part).
Anyway, a sadistic killer starts telephoning death threats to the program: He'll kill someone for each of the four major time zones (he spares Hawaii and Alaska). Once we have gotten over our initial astonishment (how could anyone calling a national TV show actually get through without a busy signal?), the movie settles into a predictable pattern.
The guy stalks and kills his victims, and the heroine rejects police warnings that she may be next. She learns: The movie ends with the hostess chained beneath a runaway elevator while the killer shoots it out with the cops.
"New Year's Evil" is not, I repeat, a good movie or even a very good thriller; it's just barely competent. But at least it subscribes, to the old-fashioned standards of traditional schlock. And at the movies these days, you're relieved if they're not actually feeding entrails to zombies.


More interesting tweets from the twitter-machine!
"One day we will see a library with few book…" Teachers want their students to be constantly learning, exploring, and growing their minds. When you look at two students and see on on their phone and one with their face in a book, you assume on of them is blowing off classwork and the other is expanding their mind. Today, students do not need to be reading text books to be learning. They do not need to be reading paragraph after paragraph of facts. However as the quotes continued "…kids will go into a library and create." This shows what can come from allowing students to have an empty room and given technology they can create. Students can connect virtually, go to class online, and gain cultural knowledge from the comfort of their own school setting. People need to realize that students are learning to survive and learn with the resources that are provided for them. Online learning will take people far, they just need to put the effort into it. I know in college online-courses are known as blow-off classes that students take for an easy A. However, if students did the reading for those classes and took the online discussion boards seriously, than more learning would occur. The next generation of learners will know how to effectively take online classes and benefit from them. Online learning is important and it needs to be taught to students.
These tips are important not only for teachers to teach their students, but also for teachers to follow. If students are using the internet from an early age they need to know that what they do on the internet never goes away and that what they do on the internet will follow them for the rest of their lives. Students should be taught the proper etiquette when using technology. Learning about their "digital footprint" is critical for them to understand the consequences of using the internet. Although it is important to teach that digital footprints are not all negative ideas. There are benefits to what the good things that student share on the internet that could be found years later, or used by other students. I would highly recommend reading this list of tips and making sure that student and teachers understand them.
I am going to end talking about something that is not technology based, but should incorporate it. If teachers are going to have digital learning and digital classrooms, it is important for student to still receive hard copies of things and to have students create things with a paper and pen even if they are using technology before they create things. I found this article about classroom cart organization. I think it would be important for students to print what they create with technology when it is applicable. If students create power points they should put all of the power points of a classroom together, so that students can then grow and learn more from their peers. Depending on the grade level of the class the idea of sharing things through google drives, iCloud, and dropbox might be too complicated. So, using the cart idea, a class can create their own "database" of knowledge and their technology based and created creations.

Yamanashi Prefecture (山梨県, Yamanashi-ken) is a prefecture of Japan located in the Chūbu region of the main island of Honshu.[1]
The prefecture is landlocked, featuring a fertile central valley, the Kōfu Basin, surrounded by many of the highest mountains in Japan including the highest, Mount Fuji located on the southern border with Shizuoka.
Mount Fuji from the Misaka Pass, Yamanashi
The capital of the prefecture is the city of Kōfu.[2]

Pre-history to the 14th century
As in most other Japanese regions, prehistoric society in Yamanashi progressed though the hunting, fishing and gathering stage of the Jōmon period, then the rice-producing stage of the Yayoi period and subsequent village and regional formation. The Maruyama and Choshizuka Kofun (earthen burial mounds) located on Sone Hill of Nakamichi Town (Southern Kōfu) are believed to have been built from the end of the 4th century. From these remains it can be assumed that the people of Sone Hill had great influence.
During the Heian period, Kai Province was created in this area.[3]
15th to 19th centuries
Among the many Kaigenji generations, those of the Takeda, Ogasawara, and Nanbu families were particularly prosperous. During the Sengoku period of the 16th century, Takeda Shingen attained the status of daimyō and built Tsuzuji Mansion and the Yōgai Castle in Kōfu. From this base, he attempted to unify and control Japan.
After Takeda's death in 1582, Kai-no-Kuni came under the control of the Oda and Toyotomi clans before being subsumed into the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period. Beneath the Edo shogunate, the Kofu clan (based in Kuninaka, or Central and Western Yamanashi) and the Yamura clan (based in Gunnai, or Eastern Yamanashi) were formed, but in 1724 the area came under the direct control of the Shogunate. With the development of the Kōshū Kaidō (highway) and Fuji River transport, goods, materials and culture flowed into the region.
By the mid-19th century, the contradictions of military government and clan system caused stability to erode and resistance to erupt across Japan, paving the way for the Meiji Restoration of 1868.
Meiji Restoration (1868) to end of World War II (1945)
Autumn at Senga Falls, North of Kofu
During the Boshin War the Battle of Kōshū-Katsunuma on the 29 March 1868 was a significant battle between pro-Imperial and Tokugawa shogunate forces immediately prior to the Imperial Forces march on Edo Castle. Preceding the Kōshū-Katsunuma battle, Kofu Castle had been captured by troops loyal to the Emperor Meiji.
The province was renamed Kōfu Prefecture in 1869 and then Yamanashi Prefecture in 1871.[3] The anniversary of this event on November 20, 1872, is now celebrated as Prefectural Citizen's Day in Yamanashi.
In the early part of the Meiji period (1868–1911), industrial promotion policies furthered sericulture, silk textile production and wine making industries. In 1903, after seven years of construction, including the building of a nearly three mile long tunnel at the Sasago Pass, the Chūō Railway Line from Hachiōji and central Tokyo finally reached Kōfu. The reduced journey times to the capital and the port of Yokohama brought significant change to local industry and culture.[4]
Agricultural production in farming communities was still on a small scale at the turn of the century and land reforms had yet to be introduced. From the 1920s however, tenancy and contract disputes between landowners and farmers in Yamanashi grew increasingly common.[5]
In 1926, the Minobu Railway Line connecting Kōfu with Shizuoka Prefecture opened, bringing an end to Fuji River transportation. The Koumi Line connecting Kobuchizawa to Kiyosato was opened by Japanese National Railways (JNR) in 1933, providing access to hitherto remote highland areas on the slopes of Mt. Yatsugatake in the North of the prefecture. ....
Vineyards in Kōshū, Yamanashi
The capital city, Kōfu, suffered extensive damage during a major air raid on the night of 6 July 1945.[6] From 1945 onwards, as part of economic initiatives introduced under the post war Government of Occupation, agricultural land reforms significantly increased the number of individual farms and promoted fruit farming and viticulture throughout the prefecture. At first with limited success in 1946, but on a much more sustained basis in 1951, dairy farming, introduced by American Paul Rusch, became a feature of highland pastures surrounding the town of Kiyosato.[7]
Small scale manufacturing industries and commerce grew at rapid speed during the expansion of the post-war Japanese economy. The 1982 opening of the Chūō Expressway also led to significant growth in service industries, transport logistics and tourism.
In common with many similar sized cities during the 1990s, rapid growth in car ownership, out of town shopping, and improved transportation links to Tokyo, caused a drop in commercial activity and land values in the center of the prefectural capital Kofu. To counterbalance this trend the prefectural government launched a city center revitalization plan in 2008, promoting downtown tourist attractions such as redeveloped land North of Kofu station, Maizuru Castle Park and new residential, cultural and government office facilities.

Planned changes in transportation infrastructure also promise to significantly impact the Yamanashi economy in the coming decades; under mountains in the eastern part of the prefecture is a completed 42.8 km section of the SCMaglev test track, a section of the planned Chūō Shinkansen.
The maglev line is designed to ultimately connect Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka with a station also planned to the South of Kofu.[8]
Central Government permission to proceed with an extension to the existing test track was granted on May 27, 2011. At the end of 2013 construction was already well advanced as far as Fuefuki.
JR Central is considering opening a demonstration service from a new station in Kofu by the 2020 Summer Olympics so that visitors can also ride on the experimental track through the Yamanashi mountains.[9]

Yamanashi Prefecture is bordered by Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, Shizuoka Prefecture, and Nagano Prefecture. The prefecture is landlocked, with high mountains surrounding the central Kōfu Basin. Mount Fuji and the Fuji Five Lakes region is located on the southern border with Shizuoka. Mt. Fuji provides rain shadow effects, and as a result, the prefecture receives only about 818 mm of rainfall a year.
As of April 1, 2012, 27% of the total land area of the prefecture was designated as Natural Parks, namely the Chichibu Tama Kai, Fuji-Hakone-Izu, and Minami Alps National Parks; Yatsugatake-Chūshin Kōgen Quasi-National Park; and Minami Alps Koma and Shibireko Prefectural Natural Parks.[10]
78% of the prefecture is covered by forests, making it one of the most densely wooded prefectures in Japan. Land cultivated for agriculture is mainly restricted to the lower elevations of the Kofu basin.[11]
Thirteen cities are located in Yamanashi Prefecture:

Yamanashi has a sizable industrial base in and around Kōfu city, with jewelry and robotics industries being particularly prominent. The headquarters of FANUC, the leading global manufacturer of factory automation systems, is based in Oshino in the south of the prefecture.[12]
The prefecture is also host to numerous fruit farms and vineyards. Yamanashi is one of the major fruit producing regions in Japan, being the top domestic producer of grapes, peaches, plums, as well as wine.
In addition, roughly 40% of the mineral water bottled in Japan comes from Yamanashi, mainly from around the Southern Alps, Mt. Fuji, and Mitsutōge areas. The quality of the water sources in the Southern Alps prompted Suntory Group to open the Hakushu distillery in the northern Yamanashi town of Hokuto.

Mt. Fuji, Fuji Five Lakes region, Yamanashi
The natural scenery and cultural sights of Yamanashi are popular destinations for both domestic and international tourists due to the prefecture's proximity to the crowded Tokyo conurbation and ease of access by road and rail. Mount Fuji, the Fuji Five Lakes region, the highland resort region of Kiyosato, the city of Kōfu, the Senga Falls, Koshu wineries, the temple of Erin-ji in Koshu, and the Kuonji Temple at Minobu are a few of the most popular places to visit.
The Fuji-Q Highland amusement park at Fujiyoshida with roller coasters Eejanaika, and Takabisha, the world's steepest roller coaster, is also a popular destination for day trips.
The natural topography of the region makes Yamanashi popular with mountaineering, hiking and climbing enthusiasts throughout the year. The highest mountain in Japan, Mount Fuji, at 3,776 m (12,388 ft) and the second highest mountain in Japan, Mount Kita, at 3,193 m (10,476 ft) are both located within Yamanashi. The Mt. Fuji summer hiking season in July and August attracts thousands of overnight hikers typically starting at the Fifth Station in the late evening and climbing through the night to witness the sunrise at the summit.
Although not as tall, Mount Minobu, a popular place for Buddhist pilgrimage, offers extensive views from the summit of the mountain. Parts of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, and Minami Alps National Park are all located in Yamanashi.
Given the area's volcanic activity, natural hot springs, or onsens, are found in abundance. Some of the more well known are Shimobe Onsen, Isawa Onsen and Yamanami Onsen.

The Palm Beach County Canvassing Board will convene at 10:00 am. on Monday, November 5, 2018, and Tuesday, November 6 at 3:00 pm and remain in session as needed for the opening and canvassing of the Vote by Mail Ballots, Provisional Ballots and other Board business that may be prescribed by law, at the Supervisor of Elections Service Center, 7835 Central Industrial Drive, Riviera Beach, FL 33404.
NOTE: Section 101.68(c)(2) Florida Statutes Canvassing of vote-by-mail ballot. If any elector or candidate present believes that a vote-by-mail ballot is illegal due to a defect apparent on the voter's certificate or the vote-by-mail affidavit, he or she may, at any time before the ballot is removed from the envelope, file with the canvassing board a protest against the canvass of that ballot, specifying the precinct, the ballot, and the reason he or she believes the ballot to be illegal. A challenge based upon a defect in the voter's certificate or vote-by mail affidavit may not be accepted after the ballot has been removed from the mailing envelope.

Q: derivative of conditional expectation Suppose $H:\Omega\times X\mapsto Y$
for  some borel subset $X\subset \mathbf{R}$, Euclidean space $Y$, and probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F},P)$.
Further suppose that $H$ is $C^1$ for each fixed $\omega\in\Omega$, and measurable for each $x\in X$.
Let $\mathcal G\subset \mathcal{F}$ be a sub-$\sigma$-algbebra, and let $\hat E$ denote the regular conditional expectation in the sense of Dynkin and Evstigneev or the conditional expectation of  random integrands in the sense of Castaing and Ezzaki.
How do we know
1) If $\frac{\partial H}{\partial x}\hat E[H(\cdot, x)|\mathcal G]$ exists for each $x$ a.s.
2)When is $$\frac{\partial H}{\partial x}\hat E[H(\cdot, x)|\mathcal G]=\hat E[\frac{\partial H}{\partial x}H(\cdot, x)|\mathcal G]$$ a.s.
3) When is $$\frac{\partial H}{\partial x}\hat E[H(\cdot, x)|\mathcal G]_{x=u(\cdot)}=\hat E[\frac{\partial H}{\partial x}H(\cdot, u(\cdot))|\mathcal G]$$ a.s whenever $u:\Omega\rightarrow X$ is $\mathcal G$-measurable?

Q: Independent random variables. We define probability distributions $F(x,y)=P(X\leq x, Y\leq y)$ where X,Y are two arrays of random variables, and probability density function $\frac{\partial^{n+m} F(x,y)}{\partial x_{1}...\partial x_{n}\partial y_{1}...\partial y_{m}}$, where $X=(X_{1}...X_{n}), Y=(Y_{1}...Y_{m})$. X and Y are independent if and only if $F(x,y)=F(x)F(y), f(x,y)=f(x)f(y)$. There is no linear correlation between X ad Y if $E[X\ Y^{T}]=E[X]E[Y^{T}]$. I want to prove that, if X and Y are independent then $E[X\ Y^{T}]=E[X]E[Y^{T}]$.

A: By definition of expectation and independence,
$$
\mathrm E(XY^T)=\iint xy^Tf_{X,Y}(x,y)\mathrm dx\mathrm dy=\iint xy^Tf_X(x)f_Y(y)\mathrm dx\mathrm dy.
$$
Fubini theorem yields
$$
\mathrm E(XY^T)=\int xf_X(x)\mathrm dx\int y^Tf_Y(y)\mathrm dy=\mathrm E(X)\mathrm E(Y^T)=\mathrm E(X)\mathrm E(Y)^T.
$$

On ESPN's College GameDay program, this university's flag has been seen 223 consecutive weeks.
The streak started on Oct. 18, 2003.
Two weeks earlier, GameDay was in Austin for a Kansas State-Texas game. The WSU logo was first shown during GameDay that day. The first flag-waver was Tom Pounds, a WSU alum whose wife, Syndie, made the first flag. Pounds took it to the GameDay set. Someone saw the flag and asked Pounds for it, and he sent it in time for it to fly at the Purdue-Wisconsin game in Madison two weeks later.
The kit has both flags, poles for them, and instructions on how to run through the entire flag-waving operation. Ol' Crimson (a nonprofit WSU booster group) gets free shipping from UPS, and CJ McCoy, one of the coordinators of the group, "quarterbacks" the distribution of the flag each week.
The recipient is always a WSU alum, but the three-hour show length means 500 or 600 people have waved a WSU flag at GameDay at some time or another, McCoy estimated.


The supplement Tranquillis by Howard Briggs is out there in the market aiming to be one of the best-selling solutions. It claims to have the perfect cure for ringing noises in the head and distortion of the nervous system. Let us find out if all of these are true in this comprehensive Tranquillis review.
The early stages: Who are the proponents of Tranquillis?
A humble research process was conducted by a doctor of medicine named Howard Briggs. He then wondered if the extents of his hypothetical intentions would lead to a real product. The odds of creating this was too low but then again he did not give up his initial efforts.
Through the extensive help of his team specializing in laboratories and medicine experimentations, they did not beat around the bush as they prowled through the vicinity of the lab. It was observed that there is an abundance of natural resources available in local markets within their location. They successfully utilized this and finally formed the ultimate weapon against tinnitus, namely Tranquillis.
Through the efforts of the team of Dr. Briggs, they have created Tranquillis. This, by technical definition, is a non-invasive and non-allergenic supplement made with natural ingredients all formed to aim for perfect health in the brain and overall nervous system. It supports all functions that our bodies needed in order to maintain and beat tinnitus in the whole system. Claiming to build an impenetrable and indestructible wall of defense mechanism against potential viruses and diseases, the supplement equally benefits all users specifically to the elderly.
What it exactly does is it undergoes the user to a three-fold system wherein the eradication of tinnitus and maintenance of the neurons exist. First up in the process is the relaxation of the brain, next would be careful and systematic surface and deep treatment to the disease and lastly would be overall maintenance and consistency.
As miraculous and promising as it sounds, Tranquillis would not do all these wonderful things to its users without the essence. These core ingredients significantly amp up the functionality of the product.
The so-called dynamic duo of Tranquillis is the presence of hibiscus-hawthorne berry synergy. According to specialists in the field, this combination significantly lowers resonating auditory disturbances in the body, promoting overall relaxation and tranquility.
After the first course of action done by the major duo, Niacin and Vitamin B3 plays their role. What they exactly do is they maintain and repair the strands of DNA in the body. This is essential in forming building blocks of resistances against potential side effects.
Garlic is also put into the mix to fight dementia. Additionally, there are other major vitamins found in the pill such as B12, B6, and even Buchu leaves that act as activators against brain lapses.
With regards to overall physical wellness of the brain itself, the presence of green tea leaves, juniper berry extract, uva ursi & vitamin C is there to maintain and prevent shrinkage of the brain size.
What can users directly benefit from using Tranquillis?
Usage side effects: Are they existent?
Certain types of berries and citrus are known to appall certain users because of their allergies. Due to this, the product may not be suitable to this type of user. Other than that, there is no other side effect.
BuyGoods.com provides to users of Tranquillis as a great third-party selling point. Its private integration and exclusivity to Tranquillis supplement provides a sense of reliability and consistency. It is available in all states of America.
What do the users have to say about the experience?
Most users of Tranquillis supplement claim that their experience towards usage of the product is great. They also added that it is legitimate in terms of its functionality and benefits. Even though results are subjective to each user, most of Tranquillis reviews out there are great and positive.
How reliable or dependable is this supplement?
Dependability on a product depends on the media that the founders use in order to have stable interaction to customers. Upon seeing the system, Tranquillis had a great approach to this one. They established a 100% benefit gain for its users which is stipulated together with their 60-day money back guarantee program.
Another thing to give credit for is their customer support system. They have successfully set a standard by using a dedicated link for inquiries or questions regarding the product usage and experience. Additionally, the assistance of a dedicated one-to-one customer representative is always available at any time of the day if customers need additional assistance.
Payment schemes of Tranquillis: Are they viable?
Tranquillis has a payment scheme in the form of various packages. The first one is the standard package which costs 99 dollars for a bottle. However, if you undergo their first orientation within 24 hours, you will be provided with a new discounted price of $69. If you are really that cost-effective, you can purchase the complete package for $294 for 6 bottles, going down to a low $49 per bottle.
I would say it is a very affordable offer. Users have the privilege to choose whatever they want or need in their tinnitus treatment.
Overall Verdict: Is Tranquillis a scam?
All these claims, systems, prices, and functionalities of Howard Briggs' Tranquillis are too good to be true. But the question is, are they all even real? The answer is yes, they are legitimate and genuine. Explanation behind the seemingly miraculous promises is that they use natural ingredients to provide overall wellness to the user's nervous system.
This Tranquillis review of mine highly recommends the product to tinnitus patients. You will definitely feel the difference once you use this product.

Q: Unreachable code detected, variable in if statement for (int i = 0; i < numOfHours; i ++)
{
    for (int a = 0; a < NUM_DAYS; a ++)

    }
}

I am not sure why it will not change the color variable.  I have set up a calander that will draw out a grid depending on how many hours they have in a day, so the rows will be the hours they have and the coloumns will be the amount of days.  I want to change the color of the box that will represent saturday.  Thank you in advanced.

A: Presumably both NUM_DAYS and SATURDAY are constant, so the expression in your if statement always return false (as it seems they're not the same).
I think you meant:
if (a == SATURDAY)

Science·Health and medicine·Executive systems of the brain·Attention and language
We already know that attention is a limited resource, and we can't focus on everything in our environment at once. But how do we filter out the unimportant information, and how do we decide when to shift our attention to something new? You've probably experienced that even when you're in a loud crowded room, you're pretty good at attending to the one person who's talking to you. But you still hear bits and pieces of conversations that you're not trying to attend to. What those bits and pieces are and aren't are what interest psychologists who study selective attention, or your ability to focus on something that's relevant to the task at hand while ignoring other information. One way to study selective attention is to observe people while they're doing something called a shadowing task. In this task, you're wearing a pair of headphones, but different information is coming in through each ear piece. So through the left ear, you're hearing one thing, and through the right ear, you're hearing something completely different, maybe a different person's voice, maybe a different language, even. And you're told to repeat everything that's said into one ear, say, your right ear, so you have to pay attention to it and to ignore the other. Based on what we learn about the type of unattended information that we actually do and don't end up comprehending, we can then learn more about how selective attention works. And there are three major theories that try to explain this process. I'm going to talk about these theories in terms of auditory attention, but the same idea applies to other senses as well. The first is Broadbent's early selection theory. Broadbent's idea was that all the information in your environment goes into your sensory register, which briefly registers or stores all the sensory input you get. This includes words, clicks, sirens, any input at all. Then this input gets transferred to the selective filter right away, which identifies what it's supposed to be attending to via basic physical characteristics. So if we're talking about language, the selective filter identifies the voice, pitch, speed, accent, basic things like that, that you don't really need to understand in order to identify. Everything else gets filtered out, and the selected information gets moved along so that perceptual processes can occur. These processes assign meaning to the information. So while the selective filter identifies the pitch of the one you want to pay attention to, the perceptual processes identify it as your friend's voice and assign meaning to the words. Then you can engage in other cognitive processes, such as deciding how to respond. Broadbent's theory was a good start, but there are some problems. If you completely filter out the unattended information before it gets assigned meaning, then you shouldn't be able to identify your own name when it's spoken in an unattended ear. But as you've probably experienced, you immediately perk up when you hear your own name, even when it's across the room and you haven't been paying attention to that conversation before. This is known as the cocktail party effect, and this, among other things, led to researchers coming up with a new theory. A couple folks named Deutsch & Deutsch proposed a late selection theory, which moved Broadbent's selective filter to after the perceptual processes. This means that you actually do register and assign everything meaning, but then your selective filter decides what to pass on to your conscious awareness. That sounds pretty good, but keep in mind that all this has to happen really quickly. Given the limited resource of attention, and the fact that we know our brains are super-efficient, it seems a little wasteful to spend all that effort assigning meaning to stuff you won't ever need. So the answer may be somewhere in between early selection and late selection. So we come to Treisman's attenuation theory of selective attention. Treisman said that instead of a complete filter, we have something called an attenuator. Attenuate just means to weaken. So the attenuator weakens but doesn't eliminate the input from the unattended ear. Then some of it gets through to the perceptual processes. So we still assign meaning to stuff in the unattended ear. It's just not as high priority. At this point, if you realize that the unattended stuff is actually important, then you'll switch over your attention and attenuate what you were previously listening to. Later experiments suggested that the difficulty of the task you're attending to can affect when filtering occurs and how long it takes. The bottom line is there's still some debate about which theory is the absolute best. But these three theories have been pivotal in our understanding of selective attention. It's important to consider because attention is crucial to any other cognitive function we perform. If infants weren't able to attend a human voices and filter out birds chirping or dogs barking, it'd be nearly impossible to learn to speak. And if we didn't have some way to refocus on to unattended information, then we'd never notice if a car was coming straight for us or if someone yelled fire. So now, hopefully, you have a little better understanding of the theories that try to explain this important process.

I probably do this numerous times throughout a week. In fact, I just did it before writing this blog. I bet you have been guilty of doing it too. Don't worry it is nothing bad. It is actually pretty common. Curious yet?
Let me ask you something. How often do you find yourself sharing an interesting article or a funny video to someone? I'm not talking about sharing it directly on your Facebook profile or on your friend's page. The kind of sharing I'm talking about, isn't done on social media.
You are on your lunch break and come across a funny article from Buzzfeed. The moment you read it, you know your close friend will enjoy it as well and you have to share. Instead of sharing it your friend's Facebook page, you immediately copy the article URL at the top of your browser. Then you open up your text messages and paste the URL to send it off to your friend. You may not be aware but you have just completed a "dark social" act.
Madrigal states that dark social takes place outside of anything that can be measured. Dark social can be thought of as invisible traffic. For example, you can measure social sharing within a social media platform. However, once a link is sent by other means such as through email or texting, it cannot be measured anymore.
In Madrigal's article, ChartBeat, a web analytics company found that The Atlantic users could be categorized into two different groups.
One group accessed the basic website or landing page.
The second group followed a specific link to a page.
The first group could easily type in the URL or use a bookmarking feature. Whereas the second group was probably copying a link because it goes to a specific page. ChartBeat classified the people in the second group as direct social. Madrigal prefers the term dark social but ChartBeat had finally come up with a way to quantify dark social/direct social.
Most content that is shared on social media will have a referrer tag. However, dark social links will not contain any referrer data or UTM code. For example, let's say I find an article on Twitter that a friend has Tweeted. If I copy that link, the link will tell me where it came from if I look closely. Let's examine the link below (in bold).
"&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter" is a UTM code/referrer tag. UTM code is a tag that gets attached to the end of a custom URL that allows you to track content that is shared on the web. Marketers are able to measure and analyze these tags.
You can break down the UTM parameters a little bit more.
Here is another example of a link that contains a referrer tag. Can you tell where this article originated?
If you guessed Facebook, you would be correct!
However, with dark social there are no referrer tags. Essentially you are left in the dark with tracking any further data when someone shares content outside of a social platform. The exception would be if the tags were previously attached from the original post that the user shared.
Dark social isn't a new concept but with social media shifting from a public forum to a private forum, it has become a concern for marketers. Today some of the most popular apps are private, just look at WhatsApp, Messenger, and Snapchat. Millions of people are using these apps for daily conversations! The trend in communication is now more intimate versus broadcasting your life to everyone on platforms such as Facebook or Twitter. People are sharing selfies with each other. Others are sharing articles (and other content) in private messages with friends. This kind of private sharing makes content untrackable for marketers.
The shift in communication has led to the rise of dark social. How can marketers measure and track content in these private conversations? More importantly, will marketers have access to this data in the future? The other question also concerns privacy for the users. Should these apps such as Messenger or WhatsApp analyze everything that is said? Privacy on social media is an entirely separate topic. So we will save that for another blog post.
It is no surprise that Facebook would be on top of current trends. Presently they are focusing on Messenger and how they can make it more valuable for users. They are aware of the shift to private conversations. With Messenger's new features such as chatbots and in-app advertisements, they have the potential to track all of the data within the app. However, they do not currently have analytics set up but are working on an analytics system. I guess time will tell what Facebook will do.
Should marketers turn a blind eye to dark social? Of course not! But if you can't see it, how can you analyze the data? If you look at your Google Analytics, all the hits labeled "direct" traffic are more than likely dark social hits. You can also consider the times you post content on social media and if you see a spike on your Google Analytics direct traffic, then you are tracking dark social.
Whenever we (Simplexity Marketing Group) share content on our social platforms, we always shorten our links with Hootsuite. Link shorteners allow us to analyze the content and see how users are engaging. You can then go back into your Google Analytics and view all your posts with custom URLs. This will help analyze those pesky dark social hits.
As marketers we can't ignore the fact that people are sharing content every day on every type of medium, especially private messaging apps.
How are you tracking and analyzing content?

In its first 10 minutes, this gruesomely funny horror film 'remake' or sequel retold (or recapped) what occurred in the first film. Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell again) had returned to the cabin in the old Oldsmobile with only his girlfriend Linda (now played by Denise Bixler), where the two found a reel-to-reel tape recorder set up and learned about archaeologist Professor Raymond Knowby's (John Peaks) discovery of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (or Book of the Dead) ("the doorway to another world"), with its incantations which unleased the demonic forces from the dark woods outside.
When Linda became zombified, Ash beheaded her mid-air with a shovel to save himself and then buried her (although the next night, she rose naked from the grave in a reanimated state, retrieved her separated head, and performed a danse macabre for him). Ash also became possessed when propelled by invisible forces into a tree, but became normal in daylight. He struggled to fight off the pursuit of demonic forces during non-daylight hours, including an attack by Linda's head biting onto his right hand, and Linda's headless naked body assaulting him with a chainsaw.
There was the startling, hallucinatory Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-like scene when last-surviving Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) stood in front of a mirror. His reflection suddenly reached out, grabbed him, and maniacally said: "We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw. Does that sound fine?" Then the reflection grabbed him by the throat and began choking him, although he was only choking himself. When his own possessed right hand threatened, it grabbed his face - and he was angered: "You dirty bastards! Give me back my hand."
His hand continued to torment him - it bashed him over the head with plates, grabbed his hair and smashed his face into the kitchen sink, punched him, and tried to beat him up in a schizophrenic frenzy. It dragged his unconscious body across the floor to try and grab a meat cleaver. Ash stabbed the hand, and exclaimed to the evil body part: "That's right. Who's laughing now?" Then in the gory scene, Ash cut off his own hand with a chainsaw - spattering his face with blood, as he repeated: "Who's laughing now?"
However, because his severed hand kept taunting him, he placed a bucket over it and weighed it down with books - the top-most book was A Farewell to Arms!, but it escaped and re-attacked, giving him the finger. So he blasted it with a shotgun and thought he had killed it for good: "Got ya, didn't I, ya little sucker!" - yet it sprayed him with a torrent of blood.
Other additional characters that arrived at the cabin included Annie Knowby (Sarah Berry) whose archaeologist professor/father Prof. Knowby owned the cabin, and her blonde handsome boyfriend Ed Getley (Richard Domeier) - they were bringing her father's missing pages from the Book of the Dead. They were led there on an obscure trail (since the bridge was mangled), by a local redneck named Jake (Dan Hicks) and his girlfriend Bobbie Joe (Kassie Wesley) for a $100 fee.
The group imprisoned Ash in the cellar suspecting that he might have killed Knowby (they saw the bloodied chainsaw), listened to more of the Professor's tape, and learned that his wife Henrietta (Lou Hancock), Annie's mother, became a demonic deadite and was buried in the cellar. When she came to life, she horrifically confronted Ash face-to-face, who successfully begged that they release him from the cellar.
Eventually, all of the characters were killed (a demonic Ed was hacked to pieces with an axe by Ash, panic-stricken Bobbie Joe was assaulted by trees as she fled, and Jake was killed in the cellar), except Ash, who had clamped the chainsaw to his severed wrist and twirled a sawed-off shotgun into his backside-holster (and then exclaimed: "Groovy!").
In the film's conclusion, after Annie finished chanting an incantation ("You did it kid") to rid the earth of the evil deadite demons (but was stabbed in the back by Ash's severed hand), Ash was sucked and propelled into a whirling portal or rift, along with his '88 Oldsmobile and other objects, into a time-travel journey to the Middle-Ages, ca 1300s. There, he was surrounded by knights in armor (Crusaders) on horseback.
They believed that Ash was a fearsome deadite, but when he blasted the head of a real flying deadite with his shotgun, he was worshipped as a liberating hero and savior by all of the knights: "Hail, he who has come from the sky to deliver us from the terrors of the deadites. Hail! Hail!..." -- horrified, Ash repeatedly screamed: "Nooo!" as the camera pulled back, and the screen turned to black for the closing credits.

At Summerland Camps, we offer a high-quality service at a reasonable cost. There are no hidden fees with our camp. We are a program built by industry professionals who have managed similar programs which charge upwards of $500 to $800 per day- up to four times the cost of Summerland Camps while providing no aftercare services or ongoing support. We are proud to offer a more effective product at a significantly reduced cost than most comparable programs. Summerland Camps were built by industry leaders who know what works to create real change in adolescents and teens.
Consider the cost of sending your child off to independence without the ability or desire to limit their screen use. Reuters reports only 46% of college students graduate, in part due to "not being prepared" or "inability to cope." Researchers at the University of Chicago found that young men without college degrees have replaced 75% of the time they used to spend working with time on the computer, mostly playing video games.
According to the Pew Research Center, for the first time since the 1930s, more U.S. men aged 18-34 are living with their parents than with romantic partners. The cost of doing nothing can be staggering.
It's important to understand that the value of Summerland Camps is more than just the camp experience. Campers participate in online remote aftercare services and also participate in a large online community with members in over 80 countries who are committed to quitting technology addictions. For the 90-days following camp, campers participate in an intensive online aftercare program where they check in with a counselor from camp weekly to track progress towards goals. Parents also check in with staff monthly during the 90-day intensive aftercare. Following the 90-day intensive aftercare, campers and parents can use our online community and resources for a year or longer after camp is over at no additional cost.
If parents eat with their camper during the family workshop (optional), they will need to pay for their meal own at the University dining hall. Rates vary but are around $6-$10 per meal.
When comparing our pricing structure to other programs, it's important to remember that we do not charge a separate enrollment or equipment fee. All of our costs are rolled into the tuition price. This also includes the Family Workshop. We want all parents to attend the Family Workshop, so we don't charge extra for this service.
We do offer online remote aftercare as an additional service beyond 90-days. You can purchase aftercare by the month or prepay for the entire year.

Rift between union leaders a cause for worry among government employees in Andhra Pradesh
A section of the employees sees it as a 'ploy' to encourage dissent between the associations and prevent them from putting up a united fight for achieving their justified demands

P. Sujatha Varma
A wordy duel between the leaders of two unions representing the State government employees has caused worry among the employees that the real issues may get sidelined.
Of late, the government employees have been growing restive over the reportedly weak financial condition of the State, which, they say, reflects in the delay in release of their salaries, pensions and other monetary benefits.
Leaders of the main associations have raised serious concern over the "unprecedented financial crisis," and have made representations seeking immediate steps by the government to address their concerns.
APGEA plea to Governor
Trouble started when a delegation of the A.P. Government Employees' Association (APGEA), led by its president K.R. Suryanarayana, met Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan on Thursday, and urged him to direct the State government to resolve their issues at the earliest.
The APGEA move did not go down well with the leaders of the A.P. Non-Gazetted Officers' (APNGOs) Association, who accused Mr. Suryanarayana of overstepping his role in meeting the Governor.
Association president Bandi Srinivasa Rao said the APGEA leader, in his enthusiasm to portray himself as the champion of the employees' cause, had also hurled allegations at his association.
"After meeting the Governor, he addressed the media and spoke against another union, which is not right," he argued.
Faulting Mr. Suryanarayana for meeting the Governor, he said it could even lead to de-recognition of his association.
He also refuted the APGEA charge that his association had diluted the tempo when the employees were gearing up for a State-wide protest in the past by assuring them that the government had agreed to most of their demands and that it would clear the arrears by Sankranti this year.
'Publicity stunt'
President of the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat Employees' Association Venkatarami Reddy also criticised Mr. Suryanarayana for meeting the Governor, calling it a "publicity stunt."
"We met Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy just last week and discussed the employees' issues. Why this hurry to rush to the Governor almost immediately after that," he asked.
The emerging rift between the two union leaders is seen as a worrying factor by a section of the employees, who see it as a ploy to encourage dissent between the associations and prevent them from uniting in opposition.
'Storm in a teacup'
Will this have an adverse impact on the proposed joint agitation by the various employees' unions?
Chairman of the A.P. Joint Action Committee (JAC) Amaravati Bopparaju Venkateswarlu brushes aside the differences as a "storm in a teacup."
"They may be talking against each other today due to frustration and pressure, but the employees' interests are above everything else," he said.
Referring to the proposed State conference of the APJAC Amaravati in Kurnool on February 5, he said the meeting would be used as a platform to chalk out an action plan, and all the unions would unitedly fight for the employees' rights.
