Teacher's throat slit
Feb 13, 2011 News
Natalie Loncke
– lover on the run
By Latoya Giles and Tiffany Bowen
"I turned 70 last month and I thanked the father that all my children were alive…..now this come and happen. How am I gonna cope with this tragedy," cried Marjorie Loncke.
The woman's 41-year-old daughter, Natalie Loncke, a school teacher attached at the Salmen Fraser Nursery School, was repeatedly stabbed to the head by her paramour last night.
Kaieteur News understands that the man also slit the woman's throat. The incident happened shortly before 19:00hrs yesterday.
Loncke died while receiving medical attention at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
One of the woman's neighbours told Kaieteur News that she heard the couple arguing some time around 16:00hrs.
According to the woman, Natalie and the suspect continued arguing. The woman then demanded that he leave the house.
However the suspect refused to the leave and a fight ensued. This newspaper understands that the woman's daughter, Renatha Craig, 19, rushed to her mother's aid.
The neighbour further told this publication that after Craig jumped between the couple; the suspect dealt her blow to the face with a piece of wood.
The teen whose face was visibly bruised and swollen last night reportedly ran from the house with her younger sister and went to a relative's home.
It was then the neighbour said, that the suspect got the opportunity to overpower the woman.
According to the neighbour she heard a loud crashing sound; then the woman was heard screaming.
Minutes, later the suspect emerged from the house, checked to see who was looking and went back into the house.
"He come outside and check to see who looking….but I think he went back inside to see if she dead," said the neighbour.
Renatha Craig
Kaieteur News was further told that the second time he emerged from the apartment, the suspect had a bag clutched to his side. According to neighbours, the suspect calmly rode walked away from the scene.
Investigators now believe that it is the murder weapon that the suspect removed from the scene, since they have been unable to find it.
Last evening the couple's bedroom was blood splattered.
At the hospital
Scores of relatives rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital after receiving word that the woman had died.
One niece told this publication that the woman's eldest daughter came running to her house, telling them that the suspect was threatening to kill her mother.
According to the niece, she immediately went back to her aunt's home to investigate. The niece along with the woman's eldest daughter entered the house and found Loncke's partly nude body on the bedroom floor.
The niece said that initially they thought that the blood was coming from Loncke's neck. However when they were removing her body, that the realized the woman was coming from her head.
With the assistance of neighbours and police the injured woman was taken to the hospital. Sources at the scene told Kaieteur News that Loncke was unconscious when she was removed from the house.
About 15 minutes later, at the hospital, Loncke succumbed to her injuries. Other relatives at the hospital told Kaieteur News that the Loncke started having a relationship with the man only in November.
Present at the hospital was Loncke's close friend, Narmattie Indrapaul. According to Indrapaul she and Loncke had shared a friendship for the past 13 years.
"We worked together..She was such a nice person, she really didn't deserve to die like that," cried the woman.
Indrapaul added that Loncke was supposed to come over to her house. Instead she, Indrapaul, got the message about her death.
Up to press time the suspect was still on the run. Kaieteur News understands that the man had served time in prison and was recently released.

The Missing (2003)
Adventure, Thriller, Western
Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett, Evan Rachel Wood, Jenna Boyd, Aaron Eckhart, Val Kilmer, Sergio Calderón, Steve Reevis, Jay Tavare
Jones and Blanchett become Searchers
If someone had told me I would enjoy a western directed by Ron Howard I would have had my doubts. Nothing against Ron Howard as over the years he has proven what a talented director he is taking on various genres but the thought of him doing a western just didn't sound right, although as an actor he was in John Wayne's final western "The Shootist". As it turns out "The Missing" is a surprisingly good western, not the best western in recent years but one which is for the most solid. Taking a storyline similar to "The Searchers" Howard uses restraint to not make it either an imitation or a series of cliches and whilst an added mystical element doesn't quite work the added element of an estranged father looking for forgiveness does.
When her daughter Lilly (Evan Rachel Wood - S1m0ne) suddenly goes missing and her close friend Brake Baldwin (Aaron Eckhart) is found dead Magdalena Gilkeson (Cate Blanchett - Charlotte Gray) fears that her eldest has been taken by Indians. With Sheriff Purdy (Clint Howard) unwilling to do anything other than inform the army, she is forced to turn to her estranged father Samuel Jones (Tommy Lee Jones - The Hunted) who has shown up looking to make amends having abandoned her and her mother when she was just a young child.
So as already mentioned "The Missing" does run with a similar storyline to "The Searchers" with a story which sees a loved one taken by Indians and Samuel Jones having returned to his daughter's home helping her to track her missing daughter down. But rather than just being about the hazardous and arduous trek of Samuel and Magdalena as they follow the trail across country "The Missing" also has the added storyline of Samuel being estranged having abandoned Magdalena and her mother when she was just a little child in order to go native and live with Indians. It's a cliche storyline which sees Samuel trying to make amends for his absence by helping Magdalena but combined with them searching for young Lilly makes for a reasonable western.
What also works is that Ron Howard never once spoon feeds us information but still gives us just enough depth. In the case of Samuel we get an idea of what he has been up to since abandoning Magdalena and her mother but we don't get every scrap of information, we are allowed to piece it all together ourselves. The same with Magdalena as whilst we learn that her eldest daughter Lilly came through marriage her youngest Dot wasn't yet by what Magdalena tells her father and how it allows us to make the assumption that she was raped. It makes a lot of difference when a director trusts the audience to be able to put 2 and 2 together to make up their own minds and it is one of the strengths of "The Missing".
"The Missing" is not by any means perfect and the occasional attempt to lighten the mood with a small touch of humour, as if Ron Howard was trying to do a John Ford, just doesn't work and feels out of place. Feeling out of place also extends to the whole mystical element as it feels like it has been thrown in to make "The Missing" more than just a cliche but it doesn't gel with the rest of the movie. It's a clever idea and maybe if the whole mystical element had been more prominent through out it would have worked but on the handful of times we get a mystical Indian magic scene it feels wrong.
Thankfully with the exception of one action scene the rest of the action is spot on. The restraint which Ron Howard shows with directing the big gun fights and there are a few allows these big moments to gel nicely with the rest of the story. But at the same time delivering that spurt of excitement that you expect from a western.
Performance wise, there is not a single bad performance in the movie and both Evan Rachel Wood and Jenna Boyd do a good job of playing Magdalena's daughters Lilly and Dot. But "The Missing" really belongs to Cate Blanchett and Tommy Lee Jones. Blanchett as Magdalena not only gets across the element of a woman quietly determined to find her daughter despite knowing it is unlikely but also delivers the blend of hate and love she has for estranged father, it makes her character real rather than a western caricature. And Tommy Lee Jones delivers both the aspect of a father looking to make up for his absence but also as someone who has lived native with a face full of lines which tell their own story.
What this all boils down to is that "The Missing" was a surprisingly enjoyable movie and a decent modern western. The combined story of a missing family member and a father looking to make up for being absent works well especially with director Ron Howard showing a nice level restraint when it comes to western cliches. But sadly it is spoilt by the whole mystical side of the story which whilst a clever idea ends up jarring with the rest of the movie.

In light of all my current travels (Ukraine to Belgium to Germany to Seattle to Canada to California to London to Ukraine), I got asked a few times how I manage to stay productive on the road.
I'm able to do it because it really doesn't matter. Ultimately, my entire business revolves around building assets that create money. This means that my current assets are already making money. They make the same whether I work for 16 hours a day or 16 minutes.
But, during this time, I'm not really building any "new" assets.
That's also fine, because the current business makes enough to fund my day to day life, provide some good travel opportunities, and still have enough leftover to invest in a new business, like Selo Oils.
But, when I first moved abroad in 2016, I moved nearly every month.
I also got much, much less done at this time.
I learned the hard way — quickly — that if I wanted to become a millionaire, I'd have to start prioritizing business instead of drinking and partying.
And it was a great decision.
But, as far as being productive, I do work when I can. I'm sitting on a plane now as I write this.
Build assets that make you money while you're not working.
The thing about the "Digital Nomad" lifestyle is that it sounds like a lot of fun for a while, at least if you're in your early twenties. But, when one's daily existence is lived largely out of a suitcase for years on end, with no roots to put down and no stability. This wears on a man after a while. And that is not even the biggest danger of the lifestyle. That comes from the fact that, as Simon Black of the Sovereign Man organisation likes to point out, one is not surrounded by or working with more accomplished and smarter people than oneself.
This is absolutely deadly for a young man's development, particularly in his twenties. Those are the formative years that will help determine much of his future work ethic, financial health, mental maturity, and other critically important things. One achieves great things by being around people better than oneself for long periods of time, and absorbing the life lessons and experiences that they have to teach. One does not get better and more skilled by being around mediocre people.
Some digital nomads are able to find their niche in places that have a fair few exceptional people, and are able to build businesses and do great things as a result of their time and effort spent in cultivating good relationships with strong men.
But far too many digital nomads waste their twenties on fun and partying, when they should be building up their wealth and savings.
That is not an advertisement for the "comfort" and "stability" of a regular job. I had three of those over 12 years. They brought me plenty of comfort but very little stability. The fact is that we are all interchangeable cogs to most companies these days. We are stuck as slaves to a system that wants us to be ever more productive, but gives us ever less incentive to be so. We can be hired and fired at a whim, with no remorse on the part of those doing the cutting for the lives that they destroy.
Building a digital footprint and web presence is a great way to at least partly immunise against the brutal realities of modern corporate culture – but young men should do it the right way, by learning from those better than themselves and building alliances and businesses with such men. It's all very well to goof off and travel for months or years on end, but sooner or later a man needs to find a purpose and mission in his life, and the sooner that happens, the happier he will be.
So, there 'ye have it.

Чисельні ме́тоди, або Числові методи (також числови́й ана́ліз) — методи наближеного або точного розв'язування задач чистої або прикладної математики, які ґрунтуються на побудові послідовності дій над скінченною множиною чи́сел. Дана наука вивчає алгоритми, які застосовують числову апроксимацію (на відміну від загальних символьних обчислень) для розв'язування задач математичного аналізу (чим відрізняється від дискретної математики). Основні вимоги до числових методів, щоб вони були стійкими та збіжними.

Класи задач, що розв'язують за допомогою числових методів

За допомогою чисельних методів можливо розв'язати багато різних класів задач, які є під-дисциплінами цієї області. Деякими з них є :
 розв'язок лінійних та нелінійних рівнянь та їх систем
 інтерполяція та апроксимація функцій
 числове інтегрування та обчислення похідної
 числовий розв'язок диференціальних рівнянь та систем
 числовий розв'язок диференціальних рівнянь в частинних похідних та їх систем
 числовий розв'язок інтегральних рівнянь
 задачі оптимізації

Розрахунок значень функцій

Однією із найпростіших задач є розрахунок значення функції в заданій точці. Найбільш прямолінійний підхід — просто підставити значення в формулу — може бути не найефективнішим способом. Для поліномів краще використовувати схему Горнера, позаяк вона дозволяє зменшити необхідну кількість операцій множення і додавання. Як правило, важливо враховувати і контролювати , яка виникає при виконанні арифметики чисел із рухомою комою.

Інтерполяція, екстраполяція і регресія

Інтерполяція вирішує наступну задачу: дані значення деякої невідомої функції у вигляді набору точок, яке значення матиме функція в деякій іншій точці, між цими даними точками?

Екстраполяція дуже подібна до інтерполяції, але необхідно знайти значення невідомої функції у точці, що заходиться за межами даних точок.

Регресія також подібна до попередніх методів, але враховує те, що дані можуть бути не точними. Дані деякі точки, і вимірювання значень деякої функції в цих точках (що містять похибку), необхідно встановити невідому функцію. Популярним методом вирішення цієї задачі є метод найменших квадратів.

Розв'язання рівнянь і систем рівнянь

Іншою фундаментальною задачею є розрахунок рішення для даного рівняння. Як правило виділяють два випадки, в залежності від того чи є рівняння лінійним чи ні. Наприклад, рівняння  є лінійним рівнянням, а  не є таким.

Багато зусиль було покладено на розробку методів для вирішення систем лінійних рівнянь. До стандартних методів, які використовують розклад матриць відносяться Метод Гауса, LU-розклад матриці, Розклад Холецького для симетричних (або ермітових матриць) і додатньоозначених матриць, і QR-розклад матриці для не квадратних матриць. Ітеративні методи, такі як Метод Якобі, Метод Гауса — Зейделя, Метод релаксації і метод сполучених градієнтів як правило використовують для великих систем рівнянь. Загальні ітеративні методи можуть застосовувати розділення матриць.

Методи розв'язання нелінійних рівнянь дозволяють вирішити нелінійні рівняння і знайти їх корені (такі аргументи при яких функція дорівнює нулю). Якщо функція диференційована і її похідна відома, тоді як правило використовують метод Ньютона. Іншою технікою, яку використовують для вирішення нелінійних рівнянь є лінеаризація.

Вирішення задач власного чи сингулярного розкладу
Декілька важливих задач можна сформулювати і розв'язати застосовуючи власний розклад або сингулярний розклад матриць. Наприклад, алгоритм стиснення спектральних зображень оснований на сингулярному розкладі. В статистиці відповідний інструмент називається методом головних компонент.

Оптимізація

Відповідно до задачі оптимізації, необхідно знайти таку точку, в який функція приймає максимальне (або мінімальне) значення. Часто, ця точка також повинна задовольняти певним обмеженням.

Далі область дослідження задач оптимізації розділяється на декілька напрямків, в залежності від форми цільової функції і заданих обмежень. Наприклад, лінійне програмування вирішує задачі в яких цільова функція і обмеження обидва є лінійними. Відомим методом із області лінійного програмування є симплекс-метод.

Метод невизначених множників Лагранжа використовують для спрощення задач оптимізації із обмеженнями до задачі оптимізації без визначених обмежень.

Числове визначення інтегралів

Чисельне інтегрування, що в деяких контекстах також відоме як чисельна квадратура, визначає значення певного заданого інтеграла. У найпопулярніших методах використовують одну із формул  (такі як правило середньої точки, правило Сімсона) або квадратури Гауса. Ці методи використовують стратегію за принципом «Розділяй та володарюй», відповідно до якої інтеграл по відносно великій множині значень розбивається на інтеграли по меншим областям. У випадках із більшою кількістю вимірів, коли ці методи стають непомірно неефективними з точки зору обчислюваних зусиль, використовують Метод Монте-Карло або методи Квазі-Монте Карло (див. ).

Диференціальні рівняння

Чисельні методи також використовуються для розрахунку (наближеного) розв'язку диференціальних рівнянь, як для звичайних диференціальних рівнянь, так і для диференціальних рівнянь із частинними похідними.

Диференціальні рівняння із частинними похідними розв'язують шляхом дискретизації рівняння, що приводить їх до скінченномірного підпростору. Це можна здійснити за допомогою методу скінченних елементів, методу скінченних різниць, або методу скінченних об'ємів. Теоретичне обґрунтування цих методів часто використовують теореми функціонального аналізу. Ці методи зводять задачу до розв'язання алгебраїчних рівнянь.

Історія розвитку

Чисельні методи використовувалися ще за часів Ньютона (1642—1727) для розв'язання задач з астрономії, геодезії та обчислення механічних конструкцій. На той час обчислення з використовуванням чисельних методів виконувалися з доволі високою точністю (до восьми знаків після коми). Наприклад, французький математик і астроном Урбен Левер'є(1811 — 1878 рр.), уточнюючи траєкторію руху планети Уран, виявив відхилення від розрахованої траєкторії. Він припустив, що ці відхилення спричиняє інша планета, яка до того не спостерігалась астрономами. Використовуючи чисельні методи, він за півроку обчислив масу і орбіту невідомої планети, що справляє дію на Уран і виводить планету із рівноваги. Один примірник своїх розрахунків Левер'є відразу ж послав Йогану Галле з Берлінської обсерваторії, який отримавши лист 23 вересня 1846 року, негайно почав спостереження і в ту ж ніч дуже близько від місця, вказаного Левер'є, знайшов невідому планету, яку пізніше назвали Нептуном.

Основні види числових методів

Статистична обробка експериментальних даних зазвичай ґрунтується на граничних теоремах теорії ймовірностей та вимагає обчислення оцінок в порівнянні з простими формулами. Однак для підвищення якості оцінок необхідна велика кількість даних, і обсяг обчислень може виявитися дуже великим. Тому чисельні методи тут націлені на скорочення обсягу обчислень при збереженні якості результатів. Найефективнішими числовими методами в цій галузі є методи, які застосовують швидке перетворення Фур'є.

Для розв'язання задач апроксимації та обчислення функцій різних класів застосовують чисельні методи інтерполювання, найменших квадратів, ортогоналізації, врівноваження значень, умовної мінімізації та ін. Найактуальнішими є методи кусково-многочленної та раціональної сплайнової апроксимації, а також адаптивної апроксимації та нелінійної за параметром апроксимації.

Числове інтегрування та диференціювання здійснюється на основі означення відповідних операцій, однак через необхідність економії обсягу обчислень та некоректність задачі диференціювання розроблено велику кількість чисельних методів для різних класів функцій та різного роду вихідних даних.

Основою числових методів розв'язання багатьох класів рівнянь є дискретизація задачі з наступним зведенням отриманих, загалом кажучи, нелінійних рівнянь до послідовності систем алгебраїчних рівнянь. У зв'язку з цим чисельні методи можна поділити за способом дискретизації на проєкційні, скінченно-різницеві та проєкційно-різницеві, а за способом розв'язання лінійної системи — на прямі, ітераційні та комбіновані методи.

 У прямих наближених методах використовують замінювання вихідних даних на простішу функцію (наприклад, з використанням методів інтерполяції й апроксимації) або в замінюванні способу обчислень (наприклад, замінюючи інтеграл на суму простих числових доданків, похідну − на різницю) для спрощення обчислення.

 При ітераційних методах можна віднайти розв'язок задачі, використовуючи низку формул, де кожний новий уточнений наближений розв'язок  обчислюється через попередній , тобто ). Ітераційний процес пошуку наближеного розв'язку завершується тоді, коли виконається умова

,

де  — номер ітерації ().

Розв'язання різних класів рівнянь та багатьох інших задач зводиться до задач мінімізації функцій та функціоналів за наявності або відсутності обмежень. чисельні методи розв'язання задач мінімізації випливають із різних ідей швидкого спуску поверхнею, яка відповідає мінімізованій функції. До них належать методи швидкого спуску, градієнтного, загального градієнтного та найшвидшого спуску, методів можливих та спряжених напрямів і т. д.

Характеристики числових методів

Для оцінки числових методів, вводять такі їх основні характеристики:
 трудомісткість;
 порядок методу;
 збіжність;
 швидкість збіжності;
 стійкість до похибок обчислень;
 стійкість до похибок вихідних даних.

Трудомісткість

Трудомісткість методу оцінюється кількістю та якістю обчислень, необхідних для досягнення достатньо близького наближення розв'язку задачі.

Порядок методу

Порядок методу — вимоги до знань про функції, що входять у математичне формулювання задачі (наприклад, використання в методі похідних цих функцій):
 метод нульового порядку — використовує тільки значення цих функцій;
 метод першого порядку — використовує значення функцій і їх перших похідних;
 метод другого порядку — використовує значення і функцій та їх перших і других похідних і т. д.

Збіжність методу

Числовий метод називається таким, що збігається, якщо наближення  прямує до розв'язку
зі збільшенням .

Основні швидкості збіжності методів:

1. Лінійна збіжність. Послідовність  збігається до розв'язку  лінійно (або із швидкістю геометричної прогресії), якщо існують числа  і  такі, що

  для всіх .

Тут норма  означає відстань між  і .

2. Надлінійна збіжність. Послідовність  збігається до розв'язку  надлінійно, якщо існує послідовність  для всіх , така, що

  і  при .

3. Квадратична збіжність. Послідовність  збігається до розв'язку  квадратично, якщо існують числа  і  такі, що

  для всіх .

Стійкі та збіжні чисельні методи

Чисельні методи називаються стійкими, якщо результати неперервно залежать від вихідних даних задачі або якщо похибка округлення, пов'язана з реалізацією чисельних методів на ЕОМ, залишається обмеженою при заданих межах зміни параметрів.

Чисельні методи називаються збіжними, якщо результати прямують до точного розв'язку задачі при прямуванні параметрів чисельних методів до певних граничних значень.

Основне питання теорії числових методів: створення методів, які задовольняють вимоги високої точності, стійкості та економічності. Розробка чисельних методів, що задовольняють ці вимоги, є складною задачею оптимізації цих методів.

Стійкість до похибок обчислень

Стійкість до похибок обчислень характеризує чисельний метод, застосування якого приводить до розв'язку задачі, незважаючи на помилки округлень і обчислень. Для цього в чисельних методах, якщо потрібно, передбачаються додаткові операції, що не змінюють суть методу, але забезпечують його стійкість до помилок обчислень.

Стійкість до похибок вихідних даних

Стійкість до похибок вихідних даних — характеристика чисельного методу, що при невеликих похибках вихідних даних забезпечує отримання наближеного розв'язку задачі з незначною похибкою. Стійкість до похибок вихідних даних досягається, як правило, шляхом модифікації чисельного методу, тобто внесенням змін до суті методу.

Утворення та поширення похибок
Вивчення природи помилок є важливою частиною числових методів. Існує декілька основних шляхів, через які можуть виникати помилки при вирішені задач.

Округлення

 виникає через неможливість точно представити всі дійсні числа в машинах із обмеженою пам'яттю (що стосується практично усіх цифрових комп'ютерів).

Помилка відсікання та дискретизації

 виникає коли ітеративний метод завершує свій розрахунок або математична процедура є наближеною, і наближене рішення відрізняється від точного рішення. Аналогічним чином, процедура дискретизації вносить похибку дискретизації, оскільки рішення дискретної задачі не співпадатиме точно із рішенням неперервної задачі. Наприклад, якщо ми розрахуємо рішення рівняння  ітеративним способом, то після 10 ітерацій ми матимемо рішення, що корінь дорівнюватиме близько 1,99 (наприклад). Таким чином похибка відсікання становить 0,01.

Як тільки була отримана похибка, вона як правило буде поширюватися на усі наступні розрахунки. Наприклад, ми вже відмічали що виконання операції + на калькуляторі (або комп'ютері) не буде точною. Звідси випливає, що виконання розрахунку виду  буде ще більш неточним.

Що означає, коли говорять що похибка відсікання виникає у разі коли математична процедура є наближеною? Ми знаємо, що при точному інтегруванні функції необхідно знайти суму нескінченної кількості трапецій. Але на практиці можливо розрахувати суму тільки скінченної кількості трапецій, і таким чином застосувати наближену математичну процедуру. Аналогічно, при диференціюванні функції, елемент диференціювання наближається до нуля, але на практиці ми можемо застосувати лише обмежене значення величини елементу диференціювання.

Числова стійкість і добре обумовлені задачі

Числова стійкість є важливим поняттям в числових методах. Алгоритм називають чисельно стабільним якщо похибка, якою б не була її причина, не зростає в більшу сторону під час розрахунків. Це відбувається коли задача є добре обумовленою, що означає, що при невеликій зміні значень вхідних даних, рішення також змінюється на невелике значення. На противагу цьому, задача буде погано обумовленою, якщо будь-яка невелика похибка в даних буде приводити до великого зростання помилки.

Погано або добре обумовленими можуть бути як початкова задача, що вирішується, так і алгоритм що застосовується для її вирішення.

Таким чином алгоритм який вирішує добре обумовлену задачу може бути або чисельно стійким або нестійким. Задачею числового аналізу є знайти стійкий алгоритм вирішення добре обумовленої математичної задачі. Наприклад, розрахунок квадратного кореня числа 2 (наближене значення якого становить 1.41421) це добре обумовлена задача. Більшість алгоритмів вирішують цю задачу починаючи із початкового наближеного значення x0 для , наприклад x0 = 1.4, і потім розраховують покращені оцінки x1, x2, і так далі. Одним із відомих методів є , який задається як послідовність розрахунків xk+1 = xk/2 + 1/xk. Інший метод, назвемо його Метод X, виглядатиме як xk+1 = (xk2 − 2)2 + xk. (Це метод простої ітерації для розв'язання рівняння , рішенням якого є . Ітеративний метод завжди збігається до правого кореня, оскільки . Оскільки  збігається, а  є розбіжним.) Розрахуємо декілька ітерацій за цими методами, вони наведені у таблиці, при чому початковими значеннями x0 = 1.4 і x0 = 1.42.

Зауважте, що Вавилонський метод наближається до рішення дуже швидко завдяки вибраному початковому значенню, в той час як Метод X наближається дуже повільно при початковому значенні в x0 = 1.4 і є розбіжним при початковому значенні x0 = 1.42. Оскільки Вавилонський метод є розрахунково стійким, в той час як Метод X є розрахунково не стійким.

Shiraz ( i/ʃiːˈrɑːz/; Persian: شیراز, Šīrāz, Persian pronunciation: [ʃiːˈrɒːz], pronunciation ) is the fifth most populous city of Iran and the capital of Fars Province (Old Persian as Pârsâ). At the 2011 census, the population of the city was 1,460,665 and its built-up area with "Shahr-e Jadid-e Sadra" (Sadra New Town) was home to 1,500,644 inhabitants. Shiraz is located in the southwest of Iran on the "Roodkhaneye Khoshk" (The Dry River) seasonal river. It has a moderate climate and has been a regional trade center for over a thousand years. It is regarded as one of the oldest cities of ancient Persia.
The earliest reference to the city, as Tiraziš, is on Elamite clay tablets dated to 2000 BC. In the 13th century, Shiraz became a leading center of the arts and letters, due to the encouragement of its ruler and the presence of many Persian scholars and artists. It was the capital of Persia during the Zand dynasty from 1750 until 1781, as well as briefly during the Saffarid dynasty. Two famous poets of Iran, Hafez and Saadi, are from Shiraz, whose tombs are on the north side of the current city boundaries.
HMAS Westralia (O 195) was a modified Leaf class replenishment oiler which served with the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) from 1989 to 2006. Formerly RFA Appleleaf (A79), she served in with the British Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) from 1975 to 1989. The ship was initially leased to the RAN, then purchased outright in 1994. In 1998, a fire onboard resulted in the deaths of four sailors. Westralia was decommissioned in 2006, and the ship was sold into civilian service for use as a Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel, under the name Shiraz. However, the ship was laid up in Indonesia until late 2009, when she was sold to a Turkish ship breaking company. Arriving in January 2010, the vessel was scrapped.
The vessel had a full load displacement of 40,870 tons, a length of 171 metres (561 ft), a beam of 26 metres (85 ft), and a maximum draught of 12.03 metres (39.5 ft). Propulsion machinery consists of two SEMT Pielstick 14 PC2-2 V400 diesel engines, supplying the single, controllable-pitch propeller with 14,000 brake horsepower (10,000 kW). Maximum speed was 17 knots (31 km/h; 20 mph). The ship's company consisted of up to 96 personnel. The ship was configured to replenish two ships abeam (one on either side), or one following astern. Up to 25,000 tonnes of fuel were carried, including aviation fuel.

Champ is the one mystical animal that doesn't care how cold it is. In fact, I suspect Champ loves all kinds of weather, even the chilly days of February. One of my favorite times of the year begins at ECHO on Saturday, February 15th and continues through Sunday, March 2nd as we celebrate Champ with ChampFest! Each year we set aside this time to explore the mystery of the local Lake Champlain lake-monster.
A lot of our visitors wonder about Champ. They want to know more and want to investigate scientific evidence that support the existence of such a creature. During ChampFest we dive in deep with a look at Cryptozoology, the study of hidden animals, and look at other unexplained creatures.
Do you already know what Champ looks like? One of my favorite activities to observe is the variety of ways ECHO guests portray Champ. Our guests draw and create their own version of Champ during ChampFest and the variety of interpretations is astounding and create a fantastic gallery of images and sculptures.
And the Champ masks that guest make are terrific, especially when they are worn and become part of an impromptu Champ parade throughout ECHO. Even the ECHO staff comes out to participate…it is a hoot!
Champ allows us to tell the story of proper stewardship of Lake Champlain. Mythical or not, Champ is an exceptional gateway into the conservation thinking for even our youngest visitors. During Story Explorer time, we read books to our youngest guests (6 and younger) that introduce Champ and the lake environment where Champ lives.
In 1977, the most famous photograph of Champ was taken by Sandra Mansi. Two years ago, she gifted the original photo to ECHO and we are honored to be the caretakers of it. This year, for the first time ever, everyone will have the opportunity to see the actual photo in a display at ECHO…just during ChampFest. We'll also show the ECHO exclusive Champ film where Ms. Mansi tells the story of taking the photo and how it changed her life and brought the message of Lake stewardship to thousands upon thousands of people.
My favorite time is almost here! ChampFest…don't miss it!

Defending national champion Clemson was voted No. 1, receiving 52 of the 62 first-place votes submitted by members of a media panel. Alabama picked up the other 10 first-place votes and held second.
The Nittany Lions, who were ranked 17th at the end of last season after finishing with a 9-4 record including a loss to Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl, were one of four Big Ten East Division teams, and seven Big Ten Conference teams overall, ranked in the top 25.
Two members of the Big Ten East, Ohio State, at No. 5, and seventh-ranked Michigan were ranked higher than the Lions. The poll included three Big Ten teams in a row -- Michigan State, Wisconsin and Iowa at 18, 19 and 20 -- while Nebraska came in at No. 24 following a season when the Cornhuskers went 4-8.
Penn State will play Iowa, Michigan State and Ohio State on the road this season, and Michigan at home.
The Nittany Lions were ranked 14th in the Amway coaches poll released earlier this month by USA Today.
New QB: Penn State will start the season with a new starting quarterback who will replace Trace McSorley. McSorley led the Nittany Lions to a 31-9 record in his three years as the starter, and redshirt sophomore Sean Clifford and redshirt freshman Will Levis are battling to fill that spot.
The Lions are a young team with just 10 seniors on the roster. The entire Penn State roster, counting walk-ons, shows 38 sophomores and redshirt sophomores, and 52 freshmen and redshirt freshmen.
The defense is strong and deep at defensive end, linebacker and cornerback. Imhotep Charter graduate Shaka Toney and returning All-Big Ten player Yetur Gross-Matos are expected to start at end.

Sony console retail box also includes the new DualSense Wireless Controller. The next-generation gaming console will compete against Microsoft's X line up.
Sony PlayStation Game Prices
Along with the hardware prices released in October, prices of five games have been revealed as well which were featured in the showcase event:
Demon's Souls – Rs 4,999
Destruction Allstars – Rs 4,999
Marvel Spiderman Miles Morales Ultimate Edition – Rs 4,999

Sony has also announced that its gaming subscription service 'PlayStation Plus' users will get a new lineup of free games next month.
"PlayStation Plus starts 2021 with a bang. PlayStation Plus members will receive two PS4 titles – action-adventure Shadow of the Tomb Raider and action RPG GreedFall on 5 January," the company said in a statement.
Sony PlayStation Delayed Launch in India
The Sony PS5 might took longer than expected to be launched in India, as the company was facing trademark issues for the name 'PS5' in India. The recent announcement of the PS5 released date gives us the assumption that the trademark issue has been resolved.
Delhi resident, Hitesh Aswani, appears to have had filed a patent for the name 'PS5' on 29 October 2019, which was before the unveiling of the gaming console by Sony.
According to a report in The Mako Reactor, Sony only filed for the application on 6 February, which is where the dispute lies.


Welcome to another installment of My Family's Favorite Recipes!
If my daughter had her way, we'd eat pasta at every meal. Lasagna, mac and cheese, chili mac–she's not picky, she'll devour any of them. About once a week I give in to her demands, and the dish I most often make is this one, which she calls "That Pasta with All the Vegetables and White Sauce" because I've never come up with a catchy name for it.
Similar to but much lighter than a vegan Alfredo, it's perfect for my family because it fulfills my daughter's desire for noodles and my need for vegetables. In fact, it contains twice as many vegetables as pasta, a good thing in my opinion.
E got lucky this week because I made it twice. Since it's always been one of those "throw in a little this and a little that until it tastes good" dishes, I didn't have exact ingredient amounts, so I had to play with the recipe a bit to get to where it would work without my giving you vague instructions like "If it looks too dry, add more milk" or "Keep adding garlic until you repel vampires." There's still a little of that, but if you follow the basic recipe, you should come out with pasta and vegetables that are coated in a light, flavorful sauce that tastes surprisingly rich for being so low in fat. It's one of those "home-cooking" dishes that's good enough to serve to company.
The recipe below uses a full pound of pasta and makes a lot; besides being hearty eaters, my family likes to have leftovers to fight over for the next day or two. If you're cooking for one or two, you may want to make half a recipe, so I've made that easy for you by including a printer page for the 4-servings version of the recipe. And don't miss the note on how to make this a Ridiculously Easy recipe using frozen vegetables, which, truth be told, is how I usually make it (and how it was made in the two photos above).
Use any vegetables you like instead of the broccoli and cauliflower. You can make this a Ridiculously Easy recipe by using frozen vegetables (see notes below).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook the pasta according to instructions on package. About a minute before it's done, add the chickpeas and cook briefly to heat them through. When the pasta is al dente, scoop out and set aside a cup of the cooking water. Then drain the pasta well and return to the pot or a large serving bowl.
While the pasta is cooking, steam the vegetables until just tender. Add them to the pasta.
While the pasta and the vegetables are cooking, make the sauce: combine in a medium saucepan the soy milk, garlic, herbs, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes or until pasta is done. Add 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water and the nutritional yeast. Stir the starch into 1/4 cup of cool water and add it to the sauce, stirring well. Increase heat and cook until the sauce boils and thickens slightly. Check seasonings and add salt to taste.
Pour the sauce over the pasta and vegetables and stir gently to coat. If the pasta needs more moisture, add a little of the reserved pasta water. Sprinkle with extra red pepper flakes if desired and serve immediately.
The pasta absorbs the sauce as it sits, so keep the reserved pasta water to add moisture when reheating leftovers.
To make this a Ridiculously Easy recipe, use two 12-16 ounce packages of frozen vegetables. I like to use combinations such as California blend or Italian blend. The easiest way to do this is to use extra water when cooking the pasta and add the vegetables to the pasta water about 4 minutes before the pasta is due to be ready (according to package directions). After the water returns to a boil, cook the pasta and vegetables about 4 more minutes or until pasta is al dente, adding the chickpeas near the end. Drain well and proceed with Step 3.
Make a zestier version by stirring in some kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, or roasted red peppers when you add the sauce.
For a creamier recipe, blend the soy milk with a handful of raw cashews.
Thanks for this recipe! I do not have much cooking experience, but this recipe ended up tasting great, and it really looks good. I am going to use this if I ever need to bring something to a potluck dinner.
Thanks for this recipe. It was a hit in our house this evening and I plan to make it again. I can think of many combos of veggies that would take good with this pasta and sauce. For those who wondered if it is ETL friendly, I think this recipe is good even without the pasta. The sauce on the veggies is very flavorful.
A quick question – my kids are picky about beans…but I'm a sneaky Mom. Do you think it would work to puree half the beans in a blender and add them to the white sauce?
Chickpeas don't make the smoothest sauce, so I probably wouldn't do that. You could use white beans instead, but I like the chickpeas better. It's a dilemma!
I plan on trying this, soon.
As to the name: you could call it Pasta Voisin. Sounds catchy to me.
Just wanted to point out that many people make cabbage rolls with sour cabbage. No messy steaming and peeling, just a thorough rinse to get rid of too much salt. trim the spine of the leaf if it is still too thick to roll nicely. Sour cabbage adds a nice flavour as well. Running out of time? Use a jar of sauerkraut and make a casserole.
This is the best vegan dish I've made yet. It's also the first recipe where I've used spoonfuls of nutritional yeast. Usually I just sprinkle it on, but now I'll be using it much more liberally. I only made half the recipe but I inadvertently added the full amount of garlic and fresh basil. It came out fantastic and I highly recommend doubling the garlic and herbs. I also recommend doubling the amount of sauce since the pasta soaks it up very quickly. I'll definitely be making this again. It was a little complicated and time consuming so I might do the frozen veggie option next time.
Would this recipe work with canned coconut milk instead of soy milk? (Obviously and purposely upping the fat content significantly). Thanks!
It would taste very strongly of coconut, which I don't think would work with the other flavors.


Heards Ferry Elementary School (Sandy Springs, GA). Heards Ferry Elementary School integrates Fulton County Public Schools' seven Principles of Personalized Learning. The first principle is "Choice and Voice" where students can express their learning styles and preferences as learners in a lesson. Second, students have more than one way or modality to learn the material or access content through the "Varied Strategies Principle". Third, students move through the curriculum at a pace that fits their individual abilities and allows for mastery of learning rather than a time-bound learning schedule through the "Flexible Pacing Principle." Students may determine the pace of a unit. Fourth, direct instruction is available to students when it is needed regardless of the availability of an in-person teacher with the "Just-in-Time Direct Instruction Principle." For example, students may use technology to access a lesson if a teacher is working with a small group. Fifth, the school involves students and parents in planning and setting goals, determining how a student will demonstrate learning, pace, and mastery level with the "Co-planning Learning Principle." Parents and the community are also involved in setting the school goals through the school's Strategic Plan. The sixth principle is Mastery Based Assessment that give students opportunities to drive the curriculum rather than the curriculum driving the students. Assessments are guided by students' proficiencies and competencies. The final principle is "Choice for Demonstrating Learning" where students have multiple ways to demonstrate their mastery of standards. Students can leverage both technology tools and traditional tools to show what they know.
