What comes next? Sign the Plant Based Treaty
Guest Blog by Anita Krajnc, Global Campaign Coordinator for Plant Based Treaty
We are in a planetary emergency. Fossil fuels and animal agriculture are key drivers of the climate crisis. The animal agriculture industry is devastating our oceans, forests, and biodiversity as well as causing untold animal suffering. The Plant Based Treaty offers a logical pathway to a plant-based world by calling on powerful governments to establish a global treaty and to galvanise action by every person, group, organisation, and city.
A grassroots campaign to save the planet
Modeled on the popular Fossil Fuel Treaty, the Plant Based Treaty initiative is a grassroots campaign designed to put food systems at the forefront of combatting the climate crisis.
Three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are at record highs and accelerating, leading us towards a climate catastrophe unless we turn this ship around.
Scientists warn methane reductions are probably the only way of staving off a 1.5 degrees Celsius rise. Cutting carbon dioxide is not enough to solve the climate crisis – the world must act quickly on methane and switching to plant-based foods. According to the IPCC 6th assessment report, we need to swiftly address methane levels, and we believe the Plant Based Treaty can contribute to the methane agreement that scientists are calling for.
The core principles of the plant-based treaty
As a companion to the Paris Climate Agreement, we are urging governments to negotiate a global treaty which will include the following 3 R principles:
Relinquish: the animal agriculture industry cannot continue to expand and deforest the earth.
Redirect: promote a radical shift to plant-based food systems away from animal agriculture.
Restore: heal key ecosystems and reforest the Earth.
We are inviting you to take action
We are depending on bottom-up, people power. We are inviting 10 million individuals, 10,000 organizations, 10,000 businesses and 50 cities by 2023 to endorse the call to action and put pressure on national governments to negotiate an international Plant Based Treaty. We hope that national governments see the support behind the values and principles of the Plant Based Treaty campaign and use it as inspiration to negotiate vital changes in our food system.
We need diet change and plant-based food system change. Individual and system change work together. That's what the treaty does through guides and resources for individuals, groups, businesses,cities, and other actors to play their part. Whether you are acting alone or as part of a climate action group, school, hospital, business, or city, you can be part of a growing do-it-together movement forging change and helping build a liveable future.
Eat plants. Plant trees.
We need diet change, not climate change.
Please endorse the Plant Based Treaty today!

In the past year, we've been slightly disappointed about the lack of hoverboards, flying cars, alien life, sentient Artificial Intelligence, or even direct neural interfacing with the internet.
But a lot of things have happened to take us several steps closer to that reality.
Without further distractions, let's have a look at what's expected in the next year.
We have to start the list with perhaps one of the most exciting tech developments in the last couple of years, with consumer release prepped for 2016 with devices like the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Sony PlayStation VR, Microsoft HoloLens (late 2016-2017).
The truth is that Virtual Reality is already here, and available for Android and iPhone phones, and lets you play some wacky games and watch content in an immersive manner. Samsung's Gear VR and Google Cardboard are some of the many contraptions that allow most smartphones to deliver a full VR experience to users. There also exists several Virtual Reality enhanced Social Media platforms like AltSpaceVR and Convrge which either allow another layer of immersion by physically interacting in a Virtual Space, or only communicate via this virtual space and not through a desktop, mobile screen.
PlayStation Home was one of the earlier platforms that attempted to put users in an actual virtual space to interact with each other in the PS3 era but didn't revolutionize anything. So why do we think the VR devices now will change anything? It comes down to the technology, which is different in a lot of ways. Faster internet, increasing number of users, and powerful supporting hardware allows users not to be taken out of their experience with a great many restrictions or issues.
It's scary to think just how much of our daily lives are spent on virtual services. Heck, being able to order groceries, and even set up daily deliveries like milk, bread, and whatever else you might need makes staying at home a more popular activity. With Social Media dedicated to VR, we'll see users watching movies, playing games, learning new skills, teaching, dating, and taking walks in a completely Virtual environment. Of course, 2016 won't be putting you in a Matrix, but we're getting there.
There's an insanely high probability that you regularly visit Social Media sites on your Computer, Mobile, Tablet, and even Game Console. There has already been an overwhelming emphasis on making websites Mobile-friendly, and in websites being adaptable to different screens and devices. But with so many platforms being shared by so many users, tracking takes precedence. Websites that look towards implementing login through a Google or Facebook account have the capability of gaining better insight into which devices are being used and where they ought to concentrate their efforts. Wearable devices will bring about unprecedented opportunities as well.
This brings about the term 'Native Ad Formats', which is what you'd call advertisements that are tailored to the site that it's on. Instagram ads for example, appear in the feed, just like any other post, and Snapchat also features ads that work extremely well within their platform (horizontal, unskippable, unavoidable, and completely trackable). Users become less annoyed with these organic placements, as opposed to intrusive ones or ads that are irrelevant and stand out sorely.
This brings about changes in how users search for queries. We see the growth of shorter phrases and more accurate keywords. These keywords are highly sensitive to the device, location, and time (hour/day/season) and SEO focus needs to reflect these changing search patterns.
Another new term, indeed! For ages now it hasn't been very easy to completely translate how much of the Social Media content/presence actually converts users to consumers. And now platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and especially Pinterest are moving past that wall with the option of purchasing items directly from a user feed. Although they have been deployed in very restricted ways as of now, quantifiably impressive success means that we can see these direct purchasing options to become a standard part of online purchases and social media.
We'll be able to track and implement more conversions using these interfaces for direct purchasing. Although it might appear that they are diluting the content of Social Media, the purpose won't be to offer a catalogue of products, but rather to complement and enhance purchasing decisions. After all, we do know that users tend to rely on each other's opinions and reviews over and above 'raw' advertisements, so this is effectively removing the middle step of having to open up a new tab and searching for a product that's been recommended by a friend, or is on sale.
How often do we find ourselves emailing Customer Support only to wonder how long they would take to get back, or even wondering if they had even noticed? Although it's already been a part of active Businesses on Facebook, the chat function serves wonders in informing users about the average time responses taken, and also whether or not your message has been 'seen'. Companies feel a sense of urgency especially when it comes down to having user problems crop up on their page, up for public spectatorship, and users know this.
Twitter's Direct Messaging has also become widely used, and the platform is coming up as a standard communication device between firms and users since it removed a 'mutual follow' policy for messages, along with a 140 character limit.
Response rates have not improved a whole lot, but we predict that it will be more efficient in 2016, especially with improved functionality headed for these platforms.
Facebook's Messenger for Business is another dedicated step in this direction as well.
Alternative Social platforms coming up for individual businesses also have the capacity to transform the communication channels between user and firm, in a way that Facebook and/or Twitter may not be able to. More on that coming up below!
Businesses are also following suit. Slack is something that came up as a Social Media platform for businesses and has already seen promising growth.
Businesses often tend to just put up a page on Facebook and Twitter and call it quits. Well that's what used to be the 'trend', but it's like a little saying from The Incredibles, "When everyone's super, no one is!" contextually marking your firm to be just another, generic corporation, rather than a unique offering. A dedicated network can mean better control and tracking, both of internal and external employees and grievances. After all, getting employees to warm up to using a new technology always meets resistance, but just like e-mail, internet, and anything else that changed corporate communications, social media will also need to be customized and utilized.
With better access to the internet for an increasing number of people, videos are being watched in greater numbers across a growing number of platforms. In addition to being easily accessible, videos have proven to be more effective at grabbing attention, especially if they are short, and load fast. YouTube sees more and more searches as users seek reviews and demos, and cats.
GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format) have become more popular too, what with Facebook's adding the ability to post them. They serve as a marriage of images and videos, although their pronunciation by users might leave a sore impression; Steve Wilhite, the inventor of the medium declared it ought to be "jif", although it ultimately falls on personal preference.
But back to videos, LIVE video and 360 Degree Videos are two of the biggest debutantes of 2015. Live video here meaning the increasing adoption of broadcasting live, and the consumption of live streams rather than the start of LIVE video in and of itself. We'll get to LIVE video later down as part of a bigger phenomenon. 360o Video has come up and about with an increasing adoption of VR, as well. The rise of trailers, sports, showcases, music videos being shot and consumed in 360o Video all exploded after YouTube unveiled the feature in March of this year.
Undoubtedly there's a long way to go before regular users would be able to produce 360o Videos themselves, but with cheaper VR solutions, consumers can easily watch these.
Live is a new phenomenon, both for Social Media as well as Digital Marketing. Sure, LIVE Video is one element, but another one coming up dude to Mobile Internet prominence is 'Micro Moments', which are those brief spurts of searching users do while waiting in a line, or shopping for something. It's accurate, contextual, and usually is done from a smartphone and outside a user's home. SEO requirements are, again, changed, and a user would give preference to products and services which are framed according to their query over-hhabituated purchasesor any sense of 'brand loyalty'.
Back to Social Media, Periscope may have just come up in 2015, but has already gained a lot of momentum in attracting users to its proposition. SnapChat is similar but is a more personal sharing rather than public broadcasting. Both platforms need users to capture content through the application and share it immediately. No selections from the gallery. Facebook introduced Livestreaming in a different shade this year as well. Although not open to all users, only to 'VIP'/verified ones (might change in the future). The difference being that videos aren't deleted after the broadcast, and is less time sensitive that way. The benefit being that Facebook already has a lot of users, and thus, live streams will be watched more, and shared more too.
Another year another set of challenges and opportunities. We don't expect a lot of newer technologies to come up in 2016, but more refinement for the ones that are already existing or scheduled to come in 2016. It's not only a great time for evening out the odds when it comes to smaller businesses competing with established ones, it's going to be new ways of doing new things. We can't wait to see how people are going to use (and unfortunately, yet expectedly abuse) the new systems and technologies.
It's a great time for Marketers and an even greater time for consumers.

The AT&T streaming service featuring the WarnerMedia catalog is cable without the cord.
The upcoming AT&T streaming service will feature three different subscription tiers, similar to how cable and satellite packages are structured.
Launching in beta form in the fourth quarter of 2019, the AT&T/WarnerMedia direct-to-consumer streaming service is geared at cord cutters who no longer want traditional cable or satellite TV service, such as DirecTV, which AT&T owns.
"You must develop a direct relationship with your viewers. And if you're a communications company, you can no longer rely exclusively on oversized bundles of content," AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said.
It's projected that by year-end 2018, 33 million cord cutters will exist in the United States.
We are all aware of how cable and satellite TV operate: You pay for the package you want based on what channels you want to access. The cost, of course, goes up with the more content you choose, such as HBO.
The streaming service AT&T plans to offer is structured just like cable.
As the entry-level bundle from WarnerMedia, tier one offers a starter movie package.
Those who are willing to pay a bit more will gain access to original programming, blockbuster movies, and television series.
The most expensive option combines Tier One and Tier Two with library content from WarnerMedia and third-parties, of which AT&T will license.
AT&T prefers that customers go for the third tier: "We want the customer to want all three tiers, and work their way in at an affordable price point," Stephenson said.
The price of AT&T's streaming service, fueled by WarnerMedia, has yet to be released. It is highly likely that a bundled service will be offered, wherein the more AT&T services you have (such as cell service or internet) gives you a discount.
Since the new AT&T streaming service will feature the WarnerMedia catalog, the company has been shutting down other streaming platforms to prepare for its launch. FilmStruck and DramaFever both got the axe in 2018.
Also joining AT&T in the streaming market in 2019 is Disney, which will launch Disney+, a direct-to-consumer streaming service. While Disney+ may not sound like a big deal, it is to Netflix and its subscribers.
The launch of Disney+ means Disney films may no longer be available on Netflix — say goodbye to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Coco, Moana, and many, many more movies. And Marvel movies are likely to leave Netflix, too.
AT&T's streaming service and Disney+ will both impact the streaming service industry. Just how much we have to wait and see as licensing of movies and television series to Netflix in-particular may end in 2019, causing a drastic cut to Netflix's catalog.

Calif. Assemblyman Calls For Tax On Music Downloads
Updated April 7, 2008 10:03 am ET / Original Jan. 17, 2020 8:59 am ET
Now, here's a guy who does not want to get re-elected.
Charles Calderon, a member of the California state assembly from City of Industry, has proposed that the state apply its sales tax to music, books and videos downloaded from the Internet, according to a front page story this morning in the San Jose Mercury News. Calderon says the measure would also apply to pornography. Basically he would change the current law to apply the tax, which now applies only to tangible personal property, to include digital goods. Calderon claims the move would generate about $500 million in added revenue for the state.

Dr Francisco Guillen, Director of Preventative Medicine at Navarra University Hospital and Secretary of the Spanish Society of Preventative Medicine, Public Health and Hygiene, explains the move to copper: 'The patient environment is a reservoir of infection. In addition to good hand hygiene, it is essential to take steps to prevent the survival of pathogens on these surfaces.
Bed rails, overbed tables and computer input devices are the surfaces typically in closest proximity to a patient, and were identified as being among the most contaminated surfaces in an ICU room in the multi-centre US clinical trial that also found the deployment of copper surfaces in ICUs led to a 58% reduction in infection rates. At Navarra, furniture handles and trolleys were also replaced with solid antimicrobial copper versions, along with buttons to open sliding doors.

You are a different man today than you were a year ago.
All of this means that a year from now you will be a different person.
Your relationships, experiences, and the ideas you engage with all slowly shape the landscape of your character. Call it personal growth, character growth, spiritual formation, whatever. Life, and the way you live, is forming you.
All of this means that a year from now you will be a different person. Guaranteed. The question that remains: Who will you be?
Are you choosing weeds or fresh veggies?
Change and growth naturally happens. Think of the world outside your living room window. Nature is a system designed for growth. The soil, the water, the sunlight, plants with seeds–it's all there. You don't have to do anything to make it happen. Just think of how often you have to mow and weed!
But what if you wanted something more than haphazard growth? What if you had a specific outcome in mind? Maybe you'd like to dice up some fresh salsa from ingredients in your garden?
Then you would have to do certain things to tap into that natural system of growth.
Pay attention to the plant's health and the pests that threaten them.
Provide fertilizer and water in the right amounts.
These efforts don't create growth. You don't manage the sun, the rain or the temperature. Those circumstances are outside your control, but you do put in work!
You intentionally cultivate and nurture the possibility of growth in a certain direction—a garden full of delicious fresh veggies. Your life works this same way. This year, will you be more like that yard, growing in random or reactive ways? Or will you be like the garden, growing toward the desired outcome?
2080 hours of work, give or take.
1095 meals, depending on how often you snack and how big those snacks are.
100 and 700 hours of television and movies, depending on your habits.
30-50 opportunities to go out for fun and entertainment.
Somewhere between 50-100 significant conversations with the closest people in your life.
These experiences will shape you physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually. But will they help you become who you want to be?
How to plan for fruitful growth this year.
Because life is designed for growth and change, the process of getting an outcome you want is not mysterious. You have three important resources that you spend every day. When and how you spend them determines the direction of your life.
This is universal. You can ignore this post and never think about this topic again—and still, you will spend these three resources. The way you spend them—even if you spend them accidentally and without intention—will shape who you become over the course of your life.
The three resources? They are Time, Attention and Proximity.
1. Where will you invest your time?
Your life is made up of time. 24 hours a day, every day. More than anything else, how you spend your time will determine the man you become.
In 2015, I wrote about 200,000 words. I even got a book contract, committing me to write another 70,000 words. If word count is the metric that matters, I can officially call myself a writer. Woohoo!
But those words only exist because of how I invested time. I spent something close to 500 hours, hours that I could have been doing other things, easier, more comfortable, or, even more, fun things. I spent those hours. The words were the fruit. More importantly, those hours shaped me. They began to change my habits, my thinking, the man I'm becoming.
In the next year, you and I both are going to spend 8,760 hours. Will we choose to spend them in ways that lead to who we want to be?
2. Where will you focus your attention?
The currency of our modern, hyper-connected world is attention. Your attention is a high-value limited resource.
Companies are going to spend $5,000,000 for the opportunity to show you a single 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl. Facebook is going to continue giving you—for free—one of human history's most advanced communication and data storage tools. Why? Because they can sell your attention to others companies. In 2015, they made well over $4 billion dollars doing it!
Attention is what your thoughts on. What we fix our attention on changes how we think and how we feel. This changes how we act and react. Over time, this shapes who we are becoming.
This next year you will give your attention. Maybe you'll give your attention by accident, like when you flop down on the couch with the TV on, only to get up hours later after watching several episodes of something that you didn't even really choose.
Or maybe you'll give your attention on purpose through face-to-face coffee conversations with people you care about, books that challenge you to grow, or even movies that make you think rather than just provide an escape.
Whatever you focus your attention this year, it will form you. Will your attention take you toward your goals?
3. Who will you give proximity to?
I like to imagine that I'm a separate, individual identity, able to spend time with anyone and not have it change me. But that's not the truth of who we are. Our identities are porous. We're social creatures, made to live in a web of relationships. This network of relationships helps us understand who we are. More importantly, these relationships shape us.
When you spend a great deal of time with people, you begin to value the things they value or else live in reaction to their values. Either way, you're being changed by them. Even their emotional mood will subtly shift your emotions.
If the people you spend the most time with have lives full of drama and conflict, don't be too surprised when your life starts filling up with drama and conflict. Surround yourself with people who are cynical, angry, and bitter, and you'll find yourself becoming more cynical, angry and bitter.
Whoever you decide to spend time around this year will form you. Will these important relationships help you become who you hope to be?
It means you have the power to determine who you will be a year from now.
Great news! You have a choice.
A year from now you will be a different person. The man you become will be the direct result of how you choose to spend these three critical resources that make up your life.
But that's great news! It means you have the power to determine who you will be a year from now. You can decide, to a large extent, how you spend your time, where you invest your focus, and who you give proximity to.
As you spend these three vital resources, you are cultivating the garden of your life. So, get serious thinking about these things. What fruit do you hope for? Your future self will thank you for it.

Holomorphic function
For Zariski's theory of holomorphic functions on an algebraic variety, see formal holomorphic function.
A rectangular grid (top) and its image under a Conformal map f (bottom).
In mathematics, a holomorphic function is a complex-valued function of one or more complex variables that is, at every point of its domain, complex differentiable in a neighbourhood of the point. The existence of a complex derivative in a neighbourhood is a very strong condition, for it implies that any holomorphic function is actually infinitely differentiable and equal, locally, to its own Taylor series (analytic). Holomorphic functions are the central objects of study in complex analysis.
Though the term analytic function is often used interchangeably with "holomorphic function", the word "analytic" is defined in a broader sense to denote any function (real, complex, or of more general type) that can be written as a convergent power series in a neighbourhood of each point in its domain. The fact that all holomorphic functions are complex analytic functions, and vice versa, is a major theorem in complex analysis.[1]
Holomorphic functions are also sometimes referred to as regular functions.[2] A holomorphic function whose domain is the whole complex plane is called an entire function. The phrase "holomorphic at a point z0" means not just differentiable at z0, but differentiable everywhere within some neighbourhood of z0 in the complex plane.
DefinitionEdit
The function f ( z ) = z ¯ {\displaystyle f(z)={\bar {z}}}
is not complex-differentiable at zero, because as shown above, the value of f ( z ) − f ( 0 ) z − 0 {\displaystyle f(z)-f(0) \over z-0}
varies depending on the direction from which zero is approached. Along the real axis, f equals the function g(z) = z and the limit is 1, while along the imaginary axis, f equals h(z) = −z and the limit is −1. Other directions yield yet other limits.
Given a complex-valued function f of a single complex variable, the derivative of f at a point z0 in its domain is defined by the limit[3]
f ′ ( z 0 ) = lim z → z 0 f ( z ) − f ( z 0 ) z − z 0 . {\displaystyle f'(z_{0})=\lim _{z\to z_{0}}{f(z)-f(z_{0}) \over z-z_{0}}.}
This is the same as the definition of the derivative for real functions, except that all of the quantities are complex. In particular, the limit is taken as the complex number z approaches z0, and must have the same value for any sequence of complex values for z that approach z0 on the complex plane. If the limit exists, we say that f is complex-differentiable at the point z0. This concept of complex differentiability shares several properties with real differentiability: it is linear and obeys the product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule.[4]
If f is complex differentiable at every point z0 in an open set U, we say that f is holomorphic on U. We say that f is holomorphic at the point z0 if f is complex differentiable on some neighbourhood of z0.[5] We say that f is holomorphic on some non-open set A if it is holomorphic in an open set containing A. As a pathological non-example, the function given by f(z) = |z|2 is complex differentiable at exactly one point (z0 = 0), and for this reason, it is not holomorphic at 0 because there is no open set around 0 on which f is complex differentiable.
The relationship between real differentiability and complex differentiability is the following. If a complex function f(x + i y) = u(x, y) + i v(x, y) is holomorphic, then u and v have first partial derivatives with respect to x and y, and satisfy the Cauchy–Riemann equations:[6]
∂ u ∂ x = ∂ v ∂ y and ∂ u ∂ y = − ∂ v ∂ x {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial u}{\partial x}}={\frac {\partial v}{\partial y}}\qquad {\mbox{and}}\qquad {\frac {\partial u}{\partial y}}=-{\frac {\partial v}{\partial x}}\,}
or, equivalently, the Wirtinger derivative of f with respect to the complex conjugate of z is zero:[7]
∂ f ∂ z ¯ = 0 , {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial f}{\partial {\overline {z}}}}=0,}
which is to say that, roughly, f is functionally independent from the complex conjugate of z.
If continuity is not given, the converse is not necessarily true. A simple converse is that if u and v have continuous first partial derivatives and satisfy the Cauchy–Riemann equations, then f is holomorphic. A more satisfying converse, which is much harder to prove, is the Looman–Menchoff theorem: if f is continuous, u and v have first partial derivatives (but not necessarily continuous), and they satisfy the Cauchy–Riemann equations, then f is holomorphic.[8]
TerminologyEdit
The word "holomorphic" was introduced by two of Cauchy's students, Briot (1817–1882) and Bouquet (1819–1895), and derives from the Greek ὅλος (holos) meaning "entire", and μορφή (morphē) meaning "form" or "appearance".[9]
Today, the term "holomorphic function" is sometimes preferred to "analytic function", as the latter is a more general concept. This is also because an important result in complex analysis is that every holomorphic function is complex analytic, a fact that does not follow obviously from the definitions. The term "analytic" is however also in wide use.
PropertiesEdit
Because complex differentiation is linear and obeys the product, quotient, and chain rules; the sums, products and compositions of holomorphic functions are holomorphic, and the quotient of two holomorphic functions is holomorphic wherever the denominator is not zero.[10]
If one identifies C with R2, then the holomorphic functions coincide with those functions of two real variables with continuous first derivatives which solve the Cauchy–Riemann equations, a set of two partial differential equations.[6]
Every holomorphic function can be separated into its real and imaginary parts, and each of these is a solution of Laplace's equation on R2. In other words, if we express a holomorphic function f(z) as u(x, y) + i v(x, y) both u and v are harmonic functions, where v is the harmonic conjugate of u.[11]
Cauchy's integral theorem implies that the contour integral of every holomorphic function along a loop vanishes:[12]
∮ γ  f ( z ) d z = 0. {\displaystyle \oint _{\gamma }f(z)\,dz=0.}
Here γ is a rectifiable path in a simply connected open subset U of the complex plane C whose start point is equal to its end point, and f : U → C is a holomorphic function.
Cauchy's integral formula states that every function holomorphic inside a disk is completely determined by its values on the disk's boundary.[12] Furthermore: Suppose U is an open subset of C, f : U → C is a holomorphic function and the closed disk D = {z : |z − z0| ≤ r} is completely contained in U. Let γ be the circle forming the boundary of D. Then for every a in the interior of D:
f ( a ) = 1 2 π i ∮ γ  f ( z ) z − a d z {\displaystyle f(a)={\frac {1}{2\pi i}}\oint _{\gamma }{\frac {f(z)}{z-a}}\,dz}
where the contour integral is taken counter-clockwise.
The derivative f′(a) can be written as a contour integral[12] using Cauchy's differentiation formula:
f ′ ( a ) = 1 2 π i ∮ γ  f ( z ) ( z − a ) 2 d z , {\displaystyle f'(a)={1 \over 2\pi i}\oint _{\gamma }{f(z) \over (z-a)^{2}}\,dz,}
for any simple loop positively winding once around a, and
f ′ ( a ) = lim γ → a i 2 A ( γ ) ∮ γ  f ( z ) d z ¯ , {\displaystyle f'(a)=\lim \limits _{\gamma \to a}{\frac {i}{2{\mathcal {A}}(\gamma )}}\oint _{\gamma }f(z)d{\bar {z}},}
for infinitesimal positive loops γ around a.
In regions where the first derivative is not zero, holomorphic functions are conformal in the sense that they preserve angles and the shape (but not size) of small figures.[13]
Every holomorphic function is analytic. That is, a holomorphic function f has derivatives of every order at each point a in its domain, and it coincides with its own Taylor series at a in a neighbourhood of a. In fact, f coincides with its Taylor series at a in any disk centred at that point and lying within the domain of the function.
From an algebraic point of view, the set of holomorphic functions on an open set is a commutative ring and a complex vector space. Additionally, the set of holomorphic functions in an open set U is an integral domain if and only if the open set U is connected. [7] In fact, it is a locally convex topological vector space, with the seminorms being the suprema on compact subsets.
From a geometric perspective, a function f is holomorphic at z0 if and only if its exterior derivative df in a neighbourhood U of z0 is equal to f′(z) dz for some continuous function f′. It follows from
0 = d 2 f = d ( f ′ d z ) = d f ′ ∧ d z {\displaystyle \textstyle 0=d^{2}f=d(f^{\prime }dz)=df^{\prime }\wedge dz}
that df′ is also proportional to dz, implying that the derivative f′ is itself holomorphic and thus that f is infinitely differentiable. Similarly, the fact that d(f dz) = f′ dz ∧ dz = 0 implies that any function f that is holomorphic on the simply connected region U is also integrable on U. (For a path γ from z0 to z lying entirely in U, define
F γ ( z ) = F 0 + ∫ γ f d z {\displaystyle \textstyle F_{\gamma }(z)=F_{0}+\int _{\gamma }fdz}
in light of the Jordan curve theorem and the generalized Stokes' theorem, Fγ(z) is independent of the particular choice of path γ, and thus F(z) is a well-defined function on U having F(z0) = F0 and dF = f dz.)
ExamplesEdit
All polynomial functions in z with complex coefficients are holomorphic on C, and so are sine, cosine and the exponential function. (The trigonometric functions are in fact closely related to and can be defined via the exponential function using Euler's formula). The principal branch of the complex logarithm function is holomorphic on the set C ∖ {z ∈ R : z ≤ 0}. The square root function can be defined as
z = e 1 2 log  z {\displaystyle {\sqrt {z}}=e^{{\frac {1}{2}}\log z}}
and is therefore holomorphic wherever the logarithm log(z) is. The function 1/z is holomorphic on {z : z ≠ 0}.
As a consequence of the Cauchy–Riemann equations, a real-valued holomorphic function must be constant. Therefore, the absolute value of z, the argument of z, the real part of z and the imaginary part of z are not holomorphic. Another typical example of a continuous function which is not holomorphic is the complex conjugate z formed by complex conjugation.
Several variablesEdit
The definition of a holomorphic function generalizes to several complex variables in a straightforward way. Let D denote an open subset of Cn, and let f : D → C. The function f is analytic at a point p in D if there exists an open neighbourhood of p in which f is equal to a convergent power series in n complex variables.[14] Define f to be holomorphic if it is analytic at each point in its domain. Osgood's lemma shows (using the multivariate Cauchy integral formula) that, for a continuous function f, this is equivalent to f being holomorphic in each variable separately (meaning that if any n − 1 coordinates are fixed, then the restriction of f is a holomorphic function of the remaining coordinate). The much deeper Hartogs' theorem proves that the continuity hypothesis is unnecessary: f is holomorphic if and only if it is holomorphic in each variable separately.
More generally, a function of several complex variables that is square integrable over every compact subset of its domain is analytic if and only if it satisfies the Cauchy–Riemann equations in the sense of distributions.
Functions of several complex variables are in some basic ways more complicated than functions of a single complex variable. For example, the region of convergence of a power series is not necessarily an open ball; these regions are Reinhardt domains, the simplest example of which is a polydisk. However, they also come with some fundamental restrictions. Unlike functions of a single complex variable, the possible domains on which there are holomorphic functions that cannot be extended to larger domains are highly limited. Such a set is called a domain of holomorphy.
Extension to functional analysisEdit
Main article: infinite-dimensional holomorphy
The concept of a holomorphic function can be extended to the infinite-dimensional spaces of functional analysis. For instance, the Fréchet or Gateaux derivative can be used to define a notion of a holomorphic function on a Banach space over the field of complex numbers.

Syrian Ambassador to Pro-Israel Group: Peace Accord with Syria Could Lead to Israeli Peace with Arab World
By admin on July 28, 2008 1:36 PM
Syria's ambassador to Washington Imad Moustapha gave a rare interview with a pro-Israel American organization, speaking with APN Spokesman Ori Nir
Go HERE for articles on this significant interview
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - July 28, 2008
CONTACT: Noam Shelef - (202) 728-1893
Washington, D.C - In a rare interview with a pro-Israel American organization, Syria's ambassador to Washington Imad Moustapha said that his country is seeking a comprehensive peace with Israel, "within a normalized context." He said that signing a peace treaty with Syria could pave the way for Israel to reach peace with the entire Arab world.
In an interview with APN spokesman Ori Nir, Ambassador Moustapha said that the current talks between Israel and Syria are "a historic opportunity of making peace with not only Syria and Lebanon, because we believe that in a way or another Syria plays the role of a gatekeeper between Israel and the Arab world."
Reports of the interview led radio newscasts in Israel today and were prominently carried on all of Israel's news internet sites. (Go HERE for articles on this significant interview)
The U.S. government is currently not involved in the indirect peace talks taking place between Israel and Syria under Turkey's auspices. APN, a Jewish, Zionist organization dedicated to enhancing Israel's security through peace and to supporting the Israeli Peace Now movement, has been calling on the Bush administration to fully and actively support these negotiations and to do its best to advance the talks toward a successful conclusion.
"I was impressed by the ambassador's candor," said interviewer Nir, "let's hope that the Bush administration picks up on this encouraging signal of Syrian determination to pursue peace."
According to Ambassador Moustapha, Syria's leaders "have been telling the Israelis for the past fifteen years: We want to make peace. We believe in a fair and comprehensive peace with you." He added, "the only way forward - there is no third alternative - is to sit with us and make a peace agreement."
Ambassador Moustapha also said: "We at the state of Syria are telling the state of Israel that we desire to end the state of war between us, to conclude peace between two states, to recognize each other and to live as peaceful neighbors with each other, within a normalized context. We think this is a very serious proposal (.) here is the grand thing on offer: let us sit together, let us make peace, let us end once and for all the state of war" between the two countries.
The interview with Dr. Moustapha, hours before he left Washington for routine consultations in Damascus, is one in a series of interviews conducted by APN in an attempt to explore prospects and impediments to progress toward peace between Israel and its neighbors. The full recording of APN's interview with Ambassador Moustapha - as well as other recent webcasts - can be found here

The Hoosiers [] ist eine dreiköpfige britische Indieband, sie wurde ursprünglich unter dem Namen The Hoosier Complex in London gegründet. Unter der Produktion von Toby Grafty-Smith, einem ehemaligen Mitglied der Band Jamiroquai, gelang den drei Musikern im Herbst 2007 mit ihrem Debütalbum in ihrem Heimatland der Durchbruch. 2008 wurde die Band in der Kategorie "Beste britische Single" bei den BRIT Awards nominiert.

Mitglieder
 Irwin Sparkes (Gesang, Gitarre)
 Martin Skarendahl (Bass)
 Alfonso Sharland (Schlagzeug)

Werdegang
Nach eigener Biografie verbrachten die aus Exeter und Reading stammenden Sharland und Sparkes einige Zeit in den Vereinigten Staaten, wo sie mit einem Sportstipendium an der University of Indianapolis studierten. Parallel dazu schrieben sie Songs. Bei ihrer Rückkehr nach London trafen sie den schwedischen Toningenieur Skarendahl.

Nachdem die Band einen Plattenvertrag bei RCA Records erhalten hatte, erschien im Juni 2007 unter dem Titel Worried About Ray die Debütsingle der Band. Die Aufnahme, die starke Anleihen bei dem Hit Happy Together der Turtles aus dem Jahr 1967 nimmt, erreichte Platz 5 der britischen Singlecharts. Das Video, in dem die Band mit einer zum Leben erwachten Zyklopenfigur kämpft, ist inspiriert durch den amerikanischen Tricktechniker und Animator Ray Harryhausen.

Mit der zweiten Single Goodbye Mr A bestätigten sie diesen Erfolg.

Das Ende Oktober 2007 veröffentlichte Debütalbum The Trick to Life stieg unmittelbar nach Veröffentlichung auf Platz 1 der britischen Charts ein.

New: "The Porn Myth: Exposing the Reality Behind the Fantasy of Pornography"
New: The Porn Myth: Exposing the Reality Behind the Fantasy of Pornography
by Matthew Fradd
The Porn Myth is a non-religious response to the commonly held belief that pornography is a harmless or even beneficial pastime. Author Matt Fradd draws on the experience of porn performers and users, and the expertise of neurologists, sociologists, and psychologists to demonstrate that pornography is destructive to individuals, relationships, and society. He provides insightful arguments, supported by the latest scientific research, to discredit the fanciful claims used to defend and promote pornography.
This book explains the neurological reasons porn is addictive, helps individuals learn how to be free of porn, and offers real help to the parents and the spouses of porn users. Because recent research on pornography's harmful effects on the brain validates the experiences of countless porn users, there is a growing wave of passionate individuals trying to change the pro-porn cultural norm-by inspiring others to pursue real love and to avoid its hollow counterfeit.
Matt Fradd and this book are part of that movement, which is aiding the many men and women who are seeking a love untainted by warped perceptions of intimacy and rejecting the influence of porn in their lives.
Matt Fradd is the founder and executive director of The Porn Effect, a website dedicated to exposing the reality behind the fantasy of porn and offering help. He speaks to about 50,000 people every year on the harmful effects of pornography and how to free from it. He is the author of several books, including Delivered: True Stories of Men and Women Who Turned From Porn to Purity.
"I love how Matt has put the decision of whether porn is empowering to women squarely in the readers' hands, by providing an unbiased view of relevant information from multiple sources."
— Crissy Moran, Former Porn Performer
"More than a book, The Porn Myth is an invitation—a timely and clear invitation to love more purely, connect with others more authentically, and experience joy more fully."
— Jill Manning, PhD, LMFT, Author, What's the Big Deal about Pornography: A Guide for the Internet Generation
"One of the most compelling ways to engage the culture on pornography is to meet it on the field of scientific research with level-headed arguments. Matt Fradd does this, laying out a framework for exposing the negative impact of pornography and rethinking our passive consumption of digital sexuality."
— William Struthers, PhD, Author, Wired for Intimacy
"Matt Fradd provides insightful arguments, with the latest research, on nearly every subject relevant to porn—from the dangers of the porn industry to the negative effects porn has on the brain. He equips you to discuss the real harm of pornography and to dispel its myths."
— Dawn Hawkins, Vice President and Executive Director, National Center on Sexual Exploitation
"You will want to obtain at least three copies of The Porn Myth—one for you, one for your favorite minister or counselor, and one to keep on hand to give others."
— Ron DeHaas, Founder and CEO, Covenant Eyes
"The Porn Myth can help you to separate the myths from the facts about porn and to reclaim real love. It counters the falsehoods that have helped to spread porn addiction and sexual dysfunction, and inspires us to take action against them."
— Clay Olsen, CEO and Cofounder, Fight the New Drug
"Matt Fradd does a great job of debunking the myth that porn is harmless and even healthy. For winning a debate—or more importantly, a heart—over the problem of porn, this book is indispensable."
— Jason Evert, Author, Pure Manhood
"The Porn Myth is an important book that brings clarity to one of the most important issues of our time."
— Jennifer Fulwiler, Radio Host, The Jennifer Fulwiler Show

National Park in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Among the most beautiful places in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we can surely include the Kozara National Park.
Kozara Mountain became a famous site after heroic battles for freedom in WWII and in 1947 the activities for allocation and creation of the Kozara National Park started. Forests of Kozara Mountain were declared the forests of historical significance on June 6, 1957 in order to preserve the memory of the epic Kozara battle.
[smartslider3 slider=3]
Kozara is a popular hunting ground, with a large 180 square kilometers area of the park open to regulated hunting of deer, pheasants, foxes, boars, hares, and ducks.
A smaller part of the park is designated for nature lovers. Walking, hiking, biking and herb picking are among the many activities in Kozara.
It is situated between the rivers Una, Sava, Sana and Vrbas, in the Republika Srpska entity of BiH. These 33.75 square kilometers of dense forest and hilly meadows have earned the nickname 'Green Beauty of Krajina'.
Walking is the best way to meet the natural beauties of the Kozara National Park. Dynamic relief with prominent peaks, reefs and slopes, dense complexes of deciduous and coniferous forests, numerous springs and streams and picturesque landscapes will become unforgettable memory of every visitor.
There are three ski runs for those who enjoy winter sports – two for younger, and the other for more experienced skiers.
Ski run, 700 m long, is equipped with a ski-lift with the total capacity of 900 skiers per hour. The run is floodlit and therefore skiers can enjoy skiing at night as well. Snow guns produce artificial snow to cover the whole ski run when there is not enough natural snow.
How to arrive to Kozara National Park?
The centre of the Kozara National Park is Mrakovica, 24 km away from the city of Prijedor, 56 km away from Banja Luka and 43 km from Gradiška.
Take a turn for Kozarac village from the Banja Luka- Prijedor road and go along the 12-kilometer, winding paved road and it will lead you to the central parking space at the Mrakovica Plateau.

Q: Sort by date, then by time We have "events" that are specific dates, so the page is set to put the events based on the day of the event first - then they should be sorted by the time the event takes place.
The dates are fine -- all the proper events are under the proper dates.
But the times are not consistent. About 80% of them are correct but every once in a while one falls out of place....so I may see something like this: (DAY 2 shows the issue)
DAY 1
 8:00am - 10:00am event 1
10:15am - 12:00pm event 2
 1:15pm -  2:00pm event 3
 3:15pm -  5:00pm event 4

DAY 2
 8:00am - 10:00am event 1
 3:15pm -  5:00pm event 4
10:15am - 12:00pm event 2
 1:15pm -  2:00pm event 3

This is the code that handles this area - can anyone offer advice on how to get the TIMES in ascending order as well?

Q: Does Tango VIO use 3-D mapping camera or the regular camera? My whole purpose is for indoor positioning.
For example: I don't need the SLAM modeling part of it. My understanding is that the infared camera is used for 3-D mapping of the environment. Does it feed into the VIO algorithm? Can the VIO work with the regular camera?

A: Project Tango's motion tracking technology uses only IMU and a grayscale wide angle camera to do the VIO. Depth camera is an additional sensor which provides point clouds and has nothing to do with Motion Tracking.

A national training school for writers, producers, and directors with aspirations to work in television, film, and digital media, the National Screen Institute – Canada (NSI), headquartered in Winnipeg, is a "school without walls". They have delivered modern, comprehensive, and market-driven courses for the past 26 years.
Throughout its history, NSI has focused on storytelling. John Gill, CEO of NSI, told The Canadian Business Journal, "What we bring to the marketplace is a real understanding of the storytelling process and a fairly unique way of developing storytellers by honing their craft.
NSI's strength is its close ties to the broadcasting and film industries and its key relationships with a variety of media experts and mentors who provide invaluable evaluation and knowledge.
"A writer new to the industry who comes in with a script that gets read by the top people in the business, that person is going to be remembered. You can't put a value on that because it is a huge part of your long-term success in the industry," Gill summarized.
Since 2003, NSI has developed and delivered programs for Aboriginal content creators, such as NSI New Voices, a 14-week introductory course that trains young Aboriginal adults for creative and challenging employment in television and film.
NSI is renowned for its involvement in content development. Its courses develop not only the creators, but their projects as well, whether it's a script or a series proposal that is brought into the course.
A flagship course for the institute, NSI Totally Television has been most successful in developing writers and producers who create scripted television concepts that ultimately secure broadcast development deals, of which some are further developed and independently produced.
"Once it's independently produced, we're talking job creation, investment in production, and just huge impact beyond the scope of what you'd typically think of a project developed by a training organization," Gill added.
NSI alumni have created recent hits such as the feature film Goon (directed by Mike Dowse) and Canadian television series Corner Gas (Virginia Thompson as executive producer).
NSI also recognizes its board's level of industry representation and values staff recognition of industry needs and trends.
nsi-canada.ca offers users an online short film festival and gateway to industry news, blogs and NSI alumni achievements.
And the National Screen Institute has plans to expand its digital media offering. The organization recognizes digital media as a significant, growing segment of the broadcasting and film industries and will design industry-driven courses to meet this demand, in addition to the digital training delivered through its existing courses.
"Digital is in the consciousness of everybody. More and more people want to create content for the digital platform," Gill said. "If we're serious about storytelling and media, we need to play a role in that space. We've bolstered the digital media and social media marketing aspects of our traditional courses.
Currently in development, NSI will offer a web series training course about content creation and the technical development of storytelling skills. Students will work to develop a web series, with the possibility of producing at least one episode. The web series course will offer transferable skills similar to other programming offered by NSI.
A not-for-profit, charitable organization, NSI is supported by the Province of Manitoba, Telefilm Canada, the City of Winnipeg, and a who's who of industry partners. Following a major funding cut in 2008, the organization reengineered its courses to better connect with and reflect industry needs. Looking more toward the industry for its funding, NSI is making an effort to better tell its story.
Moving forward, the approach is to add to this host of successful, relevant courses. NSI wants to develop additional, forward-thinking programming opportunities. Gill summarized, "The need for us to maintain the quality of courses, training, and development all has to be part of it. We don't want to lose sight of our mandate and we clearly want more people to come through our doors and receive our training.


Identifying ADRs is an important task for drug manufacturers, government agencies, and public health. One way to identify them before a drug goes to market is through clinical trials. Governments worldwide also have diverse surveillance programs in order to identify ADRs once the drugs are in use by consumers. For example, official websites such as MedWatch allow both patients and drug providers to submit ADRs manually. However, only a very small fraction of all ADRs is submitted to these systems – experts estimate that over 90% of all reactions go unreported.
On the other hand, there are millions of messages on Twitter that discuss medications and their side-effects. These messages contain data on drug usage in much larger test sets than any clinical trial will ever have. Inspired by this, research teams worldwide, including our team at Zurich University of Applied Sciences, are beginning to utilize these messages for ADR detection. The goal is to automatically find relevant messages, to "understand" their content, and to extract structured data about the drugs and (unwanted) reactions.
Figure 1: Typical system for ADR detection using machine learning.
A typical approach for ADR detection uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze tweets automatically. Input for the system is the entire stream of Twitter messages. Each individual tweet is analyzed, using a classification system as shown in Figure 1: The tweet is preprocessed and a set of relevant properties ("features") is extracted. Then, a classifier decides whether the tweet mentions an ADR. This classifier is based on machine learning and was trained beforehand on thousands of sample tweets that were tagged by humans. Finally, a system for named entity extraction is used to output a drug name and associated ADRs.
This approach is similar to technologies for sentiment analysis, which decide whether a tweet is positive or negative. Sentiment analysis is already successfully applied, for instance, in market monitoring, customer support and social media analysis.
Our ADR system, which implements the technologies shown above, achieves a success rate of 32% (measured in F1-score). This is comparable to other academic ADR systems: in an open international competition this year, even the best systems achieved only a success rate of approximately 40% .
For a preliminary evaluation on real-world data, we applied our ADR system to the full Twitter stream. The low precision of the system resulted in 20% of all tweets being classified as ADR. This is way too high; there are not that many ADR tweets in the Twitter stream. For this reason, we pre-filtered the stream with a list of 1678 drug names. Out of about 50 million tweets, this resulted in 13,000 tweets referencing drugs. Using the ADR system on this reduced set yielded 2800 tweets. We expect to find more than 60% of these to be true ADR tweets.
Automatic detection of ADRs on Twitter (or other social media channels) is still a very young discipline, which only started some five years ago. There are only a few teams working on the topic at the moment, and a first large-scale benchmark dataset was only published in 2014 . However, we expect a significant improvement in detection rates in the near future, owing in part to the existence of several new technologies in machine learning, such as word embedding and deep learning. These have already been successfully applied to other text analysis tasks and have improved existing benchmark scores there. Applying these technologies to ADR detection will probably help to increase the detection rate significantly. In addition, our team is working on a system that not only analyzes the text of a tweet, but also its context: the timeline of the user, other messages in the same geographic or temporal context etc. This will allow us to "step back" from an isolated event (a single tweet) and see the "whole picture" of the discourse on Twitter.

In 1850, George W. Rowell, age 13, lives in Montville with his parents Daniel M. Rowell 37 and Hannah Rowell 33, his siblings, Ebenezar Rowell 12, Johnathan Rowell 10, Ezekiel P. Rowell 8, Helen M. Rowell 5, Sarah F. Rowell 4 and Edward L. Rowell age 0 (6 months old).
As teenagers, George W. Rowell and his brother Ebenezer "Eben" Rowell, went to California during the Gold Rush in the mid-1850's. Their younger cousin, John Gilman Vose, followed them, in about 1856.
George and Eben Rowell appeared to have separated before 1860 in California. That year, during the Census, Ebin (sic) Rowell is 22 years old and living in Cosumnes Township, California, with his cousin John Vose, also 22, known as John Rose [sic]. Ebenezer Rowell died of unknown causes, at the age of 25, in Nevada County, California. Eben may be buried in California, although there is a stone for him in Maine.
In 1860, George Rowell 25, born 1835 Maine, Laborer, is shown on that Census as living in Township 6, Amador County, California. He is living with the family of Samuel Dent and Martha Jane Hanes, who were married on March 27, 1845 in St. Francois, Missouri.
George Rowell's cousin, John G. Vose, married the Dent's only daughter, Annie Dent, in 1864. John G. Vose and Annie Dent would have 11 children, including, Newton John Vose (Chapter 10).
There are three records for George W. Rowell, enlistments in the military during the Civil War. Private in Company B, 11th Regiment, Maine Infantry, second Private in Company G of the 22nd Regiment of the Maine Infantry, third Private in the 1st Regiment Company L of the Maine Cavalry. Possible relevance to this George Wilson Rowell.
There are no records for George W. Rowell, born 1835, in Maine, during the 1870 Census. Ezekiel P. Rowell, George's brother, named one of his sons, George Wilson Rowell and he lives in Maine in 1870. The subsequent records, show him using the name Wilson G. Rowell.
George W. Rowell returned to Montville, after working for many years in California and he soon married the widow, Abigail "Abbie" Frances (Bailey) McFarland, on or about May 4, 1875.
Abigail "Abbie" Frances Bailey was born in Knox, Maine, the only daughter of Deacon James R. Bailey and his first wife, Abigail Hannah Carlton, who were married on January 15, 1837 in LaGrange, Maine. Abbie F. Bailey was born on her brother, Josiah B. Bailey's 5th birthday.
The oldest son of James R. and Abigail H. Bailey, Josiah Bradley Bailey, married Frances Munroe, they had 3 children: Allen Shea Bailey, Abigail Frances Bailey Penny and Josie M. Bailey Holbrook.
The second son of James R. and Abigail H. Bailey, George W. Bailey, married Julia McCorrison on September 29, 1866. Julia was a widow, with three children, with her first husband, Jacob Haskell, who was killed during the Civil War. Jacob Haskell, Julia Bailey and George Bailey, share a stone in East Knox Cemetery in Knox Center, Maine.
Jacob and Julia Haskell had three sons and one daughter: Walter Scott Haskell, Orin Francis "Frank" Haskell, daughter Amorena Patch Haskell and Tolman Haskell, who died young. George and Julia (McCorrison) Bailey had one child, son: Fred "Freddie" G. Bailey.
The oldest son of Jacob and Julia Haskell, Walter Scott Haskell, never married and moved to California, where in 1888 when he is listed as a "lay member" of Christ Church, in Alameda County. On September 14, 1892, also in Alameda County, Walter Scott Haskell, is on the voter registration list. On April 30, 1898 Walter Scott Haskell registers again, now at Diamond Ave Nr Hermitage, still in Alameda County.
Anorena [sic] P. Haskell 49, married widower, William Mottram 64, on September 22, 1910 in Auburn, Maine. He is retired and she was employed as a Dressmaker. William Mottram died in Maine, is buried in Riverside Cemetery in Lewiston, Maine with his first wife, Martha Ann.
In 1900, in Fruitvale Township, Almeda County, California, Walter S. Haskell 45, single, Photographer, is a boarder with Susan Lapham. They would still be living together in 1910 and 1920, until her death.
Walter Scott Haskell was a Photographer by trade, but he had a penchant for writing prose and poetry. Between 1904 and 1936, he had several stories and poems appear in a variety of different publications. Also, his affinity for words, seems to have extended to puzzle-solving.
The February 12, 1904 edition of the Berkeley Daily Gazette, in California, reports that Walter Scott Haskell and a few others, have each won $5 in a puzzle contest.
On the dry and dusty plain.
On the desert of a life.
In August 1907, Western Field: The Sportsman's Magazine of the West, Volume 11, published "Primal Love", a poem about dinosaurs; "Emissaries to the Moon – A Story of Love and Adventure in the Zenith", in The Texas Magazine, November 1911 to April 1912 edition; "The Blood-stained Violin", in The Violin World on July 15, 1921.
In 1910, in Berkeley, California, Walter S. Haskell 55, has his own Photography Studio. In 1920, Walter S. Haskell 64, single, still owns a Photography Studio, now in Oakland, Almeda County, California. Susan M. Lapham is still living with him, as a "Servant" and is now 82.
In 1930, Annie (Amorena) Mottrom [sic] 70, lives with her brother, Walter Haskell 75, in Eden, Almeda County, California. He is single and she claims to still be married. In 1940, Walter S. Haskell 85, is still in Eden. Amorena Mottram 79, has been moved to Napa Judicial Township in California, where she is recorded as being a widowed, patient in the Napa State Hospital in 1940. She died there, 6 years later.
Walter S. Haskell has a stone, listing his birth date, in East Knox Cemetery, with his parents, but it is unlikely that he is buried there. No monument exists in Maine, for Amorena Patch (Haskell) Mottram and she is probably buried in California, maybe with her brother Walter.
On October 14, 1886, in Boston, Massachusetts, Orin F. Haskell, 28-year-old, Machinist, married Mary Foster 18. Orin is often known as "Frank" O. Haskell. Orin F. "Frank" and Mary E. Haskell had one child, a daughter, Fannie Mae Haskell, who was married to Eugene Clifton Sleeper, on September 30, 1908 in Everett, Massachusetts.
Orin F. Haskell, a resident of Norfolk, Massachusetts, died at 38 years and 9 months, in Everett, of Congestive Apoplexy. His parents are listed as Jacob Haskell and Julia M. Corison [sic] (McCorrison). Orin F. Haskell is buried in Glenwood Cemetery, in Everett.
The widow of "Frank" O. Haskell, Mary Elizabeth (Foster) Haskell, a retired Nurse, died at 44 in Walpole, Massachusetts of, Organic Heart Disease. Mary Foster was born in Springfield, Vermont according to this record. Mary's son-in-law, E. C. Sleeper, reported the death. Mary (Foster) Haskell is buried in Glenwood Cemetery, with her husband.
Some of the descendants of George Bailey and Julia McCorrison, are still inhabiting Montville, to this day (2019).
The 3rd son of James R. and Abigail H. Bailey, James A. Bailey, married Carrie V. Foster. They had no children. On June 17, 1880, during the Census in Montville, Carrie V. Bailey 29, husband, James A. Bailey 35, live in the home of her parents, Thomas Foster 70 and Caroline (Sprowl) Foster 58, with several other family members.
Caroline (Sprowl) Foster had a younger sister, Elmira Sprowl, who was the second wife of Marcus Vose. Marcus Vose was the father of Marcus Aurelius Vose (Chapter 6).
During that Census in 1880, Carrie V. Bailey is listed as being disabled by "Consumption". Carrie V. (Foster) Bailey would succumb to Tuberculosis, two years later, in Montville, at age 31.
In January 1885, three years after his first wife Carrie's death, James A. Bailey married Emma A. Wyman. She died two years later. James A. Bailey, the son of James R. Bailey and Abigail Casleton [sic] (Carleton), died in Montville, at age 60, of a Paralytic Shock.
When Abigail Frances Bailey was about six years old, her mother, Hannah (Carlton) Bailey died. Deacon James R. Bailey married Eliza Jane Briggs on June 5, 1849 and had 3 children survive: Lois Viola Bailey, who married Henry Joseph Chaples, a Sea Captain, on April 9, 1873 in Belfast, Maine; William Riley Bailey and Benjamin Rogers Bailey.
Abigail Bailey first married Henry McFarland on May 9, 1863 in Thorndike, Maine and they had a daughter, Cora E. McFarland, born in Montville. At the time, Henry, Abbie and Cora McFarland were living on the farm of Henry's parents, John McFarland and his wife, Selena.
John McFarland and Selena C. Beal were married on October 6, 1831 in Montville, by Nathaniel Emery, Justice of the Peace. John and Selena had a daughter and three sons, Henry McFarland was their oldest, destined to inherit their farm. But he chose something else.
Unbelievably, Henry L. McFarland committed suicide, at the age of 33, by tying his feet together and drowning himself in 6" of water, in a meadow behind the McFarland's farm. The rest of the family had gone to Sunday worship and returned to find him there. His death would ultimately set the stage, for an epic tragedy to strike the family.
Henry McFarland, who had been known to be withdrawn and quiet, was depressed at the loss of his older sister Eliza J. McFarland and her baby, some four years earlier, in Montville. Eliza McFarland Gowin died at 36 and her husband, Hollis T. Gowin never remarried.
Henry McFarland left his young widow, Abbie, daughter, Cora and two aging parents to run the farm, that was formerly his responsibility.
John and Selena's two younger sons, Solomon McFarland and Thomas McFarland have disappeared from records and do not reappear in Maine. There were no sons left to inherit the McFarland homestead.
In 1860, at age 11, Solamon [sic] Mc Farland [sic], lives in Montville with his cousin, Adelia Clement and her husband, Job Clement, in the household of John Clement, Job's older brother.
Solomon McFarland 18, enlisted for military service on April 12, 1865 in Montville. He is described as 5' 8-1/2" tall with a fair complexion, blue eyes and brown hair. He is a farmer, born in Bangor in 1847 and now living in Montville. He was mustered in at Belfast, Maine and was honorably discharged from the service, less than a month later on May 10, 1865 at Galloup's Island in Massachusetts.
Solomon, at the age of 22, is again living with Job and Adelia Clement and their 5 children in 1870. The last record in Maine for Thomas Mc Farland is in 1860, in Montville, age 10, with parents John Mc Farland 49, Scelina [sic] 47 and brother, Henry L. Mc Farland 19.
Solomon McFarland has a marble, upright military stone in Grove Cemetery in Belfast, Maine. The date of his death is not known, but the contract date, from Gross Brothers, for the head stone, is June 9, 1888.
"Cora and her mother, Abbie McFarland, lived with the parents of Henry McFarland in North Montville, about three miles from Freedom, near Halldale. The old farm house was on one side of the road, while the barn was across the road.
When Cora was ten years old, her mother, Abigail, married a big robust man by the name of George W. Rowell, who came to live in Grampa and Gramma McFarland's home. George had spent seventeen years in California, allegedly amassing some money for himself. He had returned to his hometown of Montville.
He, at first, helped with the farm work, being quite affable. The next February, George and Abbie had a baby daughter, whom they named Alice. Alice was a joy in the household. Cora willingly tended her baby sister, who was a happy child, and making the days cheery, even for her grandparents.
But, even young Cora noticed a difference in George. He paid a lot of attention to both Cora and baby Alice. It was attention that made Cora uncomfortable at times, and was noticed by her grandparents.
George spent a lot of time away from home, and when he was home, he was sullen, moody and even threatening at times. He often smelled of alcohol, which was offensive to Cora, as her grandparents, and her father did not drink alcoholic beverages. Cora had been taught at church about the evils of alcohol. Cora could sense tenseness in the household, but nothing prepared her for what finally happened."
"Cora told of events in her life, her father's suicide when she was young, and how, at age twelve, she had been present when her grandparents were murdered. She had been a witness at the informal inquest as to the events that happened on the cold snowy night about 7 pm on Saturday, January 25, 1879.
Her step-father, George Rowell, had been away for some time. George told the family that he'd been in Belfast for a bottle of rum for his cold. He was seen driving his horse at a break-neck speed. When he arrived in Belfast, the horse was over-heated with foam at its mouth from the trip. George had spent three nights in Belfast, two nights of which were spent at a relative's home, returning home on Friday. Grampa and Gramma were very concerned. That night, Grampa had asked neighbor, Alonzo Raynes, to stay the night with them.
Mr. Raynes left in the morning, sending his young hired hand, Fred Bennett, back to the McFarland home to spend the day and night. The family was growing increasingly afraid of George. When evening came, he was difficult and surly, saying that he wanted his little girl, Cora, and his "angel baby" Alice in his room.
George grabbed Cora and baby Alice, taking them into the front parlor and closed the door. Fred left the house to get Mr. Raynes. When Grampa and Gramma came into the parlor to get the girls, George knocked both of them to the floor, pounding them with his fists. Cora was frightened, and the baby was crying. George drove the elder couple from the house, then he went upstairs, apparently to get his gun, which was later described to be a "King's Arm", with the barrel running the whole length of the gun. While George was out of sight, Cora took the baby and went to the barn across the road.
Cora's mother, Abbie, had gone down the road to get Oscar Evans. Mr. Raynes, who lived about a quarter mile away, was coming up the road, where he met everyone, who were telling him of their fright. Grampa attempted to go back to the house with Mr. Raynes. George was standing in the doorway with his gun, which he fired toward them. They heard the bullet go by them. Cora came out of the barn with the baby, which Mr. Raynes grabbed, telling Fred Bennett to get Cora down to the Raynes' house. They all passed the elder McFarlands, who were slower than they, after having been pushed around by George.
They did not realize that George was following them with his gun. He overtook Grampa just a short way from the Raynes' house, hitting him so hard with his gun that he probably was killed instantly, smashing the gun stock at the time. He then caught up with Gramma, beating her about the head and face with the gun barrel. Grampa and Gramma had been small in stature, no match for the larger George.
Cora was the last one to get into the Raynes' house. She had heard George beating her grandmother and heard her moan. George arrived at the house, where occupants were shaking with fear. They had armed themselves with sticks of firewood, even though they knew it was no protection from his long-barreled gun. George began beating out the panels of the door with his gun barrel. Thinking that they all would be killed, Mrs. Raynes said, "Get your gun from the bedroom, Alonzo! Shoot him before he kills us all!" With that Mr. Raynes, a small man, shot through the door, shooting low to wound and stop George, who fell backwards into the snow, with his gun barrel by his side.
Fred Bennett came back to the house, telling them that the neighbors were coming down the road. The men tied George up with a rope. They left with a lantern to check on Grampa and Gramma, giving the rope to Cora to hold. She was so scared, but George who was face down in the snow never moved. The Halls came with other neighbors, and discovered Grampa and Gramma McFarland dead in the blood-stained snow.
George's horse was harnessed, taking the three dead, victims and perpetrator, to the McFarland home, where they were laid out.
On Monday, a reporter from The Republican Journal came out from Belfast on the train to Thorndike. He hired a sleigh and driver, who came down seven miles over what he termed the 'worst roads in Waldo County'. He spent the night at Mr. and Mrs. Raynes' home.
The Sheriff and Dr. A. J. Billings came out to perform their official duties. During the next few days, many neighbors and onlookers came on their sleighs to view the site where the carnage had occurred. Thankfully, a snow storm overnight had covered any traces of the beatings.
The bodies of the McFarlands were taken to the Church where they were laid out for their funerals, held on Wednesday forenoon, with Rev. J. Small of the Freewill Baptist Church of North Montville conducting the services. Both Grampa and Gramma looked very peaceful, if no one had known of the tragic night's events. They had been married forty-seven years, and died together, trying to protect Cora and baby Alice.
The Town Officials took charge of George's body. They are all buried in the Halldale Cemetery, where Charlie Vose is also buried."
Special Dispatch to The Boston Globe; Belfast, Me., January 27.
CRIME - A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN MAINE.
"Boston, Jan. 28 - Details are received of the tragedy at Montville, Waldo County, Me., on Saturday evening last. The victims were John McFarland and his wife Salina [sic], each about 70 years old, and George Rowell, about 40 years old. The place where the affair occurred is about eighteen miles from Belfast. McFarland and wife and Rowell and wife and two children lived together, Rowell having married a widow of McFarland's son. On Saturday evening Rowell had some words with McFarland, during which he struck him and threatened to take his life. McFarland and his wife and the two children left the house for a neighbor's. As they were leaving they were met by Alonzo Raynes, a neighbor, who was coming to McFarland's house. As he neared the house he was fired upon by Rowell who was in the house, but was not hit. Turning, Raynes ran back home, passing McFarland and his wife who were walking through the snow. Rowell followed with the empty gun in his hand, and, overtaking the old couple, killed them both in the road with the clubbed gun, breaking Mrs. McFarland's neck and crushing the skulls of both in a horrible manner. Leaving his victims in the road, Rowell hurried on in pursuit of Raynes, who, with the children, had entered his house, closed the doors and armed himself with a double-barreled shot-gun. Rowell burst in the panels of the door and received a charge from Raynes' gun, striking him in the groin and inflicting what proved to be a fatal wound. Raynes bound Rowell with a rope, and with a lantern hastened to learn the fate of the old couple, finding them both dead a short distance from his door. On his return to the house Rowell was also dead. Rowell was undoubtedly insane at the time of committing the deed. He had been considered so occasionally for several years, but was a quiet and so-called harmless individual. He was a large and powerful man, and very dangerous in such a condition. At the Coroner's Inquest to-day the verdict was that McFarland and his wife came to their death by the hands of George Rowell, and that Raynes killed Rowell in self-defense."
George Wilson Rowell died in Montville, at the age of 42 and was interred in Halldale Cemetery in West Montville, with his parents Daniel and Hannah Rowell. It is the same burial ground as George's victims, John and Selena McFarland. Henry McFarland and his sister, Eliza Jane (McFarland) Gowin are there, with their parents, in Halldale Cemetery.
After the deaths of her in-laws, John and Selena McFarland and her husband, George W. Rowell, Abbie F. (Bailey) McFarland Rowell remained on the McFarland farm, with her two young daughters.
In 1880, Abbie Rowelli [sic] 38, widowed, lives with her daughters, Cora E. McFarland 14 and Alice B. Rowell 3, in Montville. Abbie has a farmhand, Charles McCorrison 24. Charles is the younger brother of Julia McCorrison, wife of George Bailey, who is Abbie's older brother.
Mrs. Abbie F. Rowell married Charles S. Mccorrison on April 3, 1881 in Montville. Their only child, a son, Henry Charles (or Chaples) McCorrison, was born in Montville, about two years later.
On November 16, 1889, in Montville, Cora E. McFarland married Charles J. Vose. They adopted a son and named him Henry M. Vose. "Charlie" Vose was a Teacher, School Supervisor and served as Town Treasurer and Clerk. Charles "Charlie" J. Vose died in Knox, at 43, of a Lung Affliction. He left his widow, Cora and son, Henry Vose, age 9.
Cora (McFarland) Vose remained a widow for a dozen years, until she remarried on April 23, 1922, to a twice-widowed, John W. Morse, who had teenaged children, still at home.
On November 16, 1898, in Montville, Alice V. Rowell 21, married Frank Loren Stewart 22. Frank and Alice Stewart had four children, two sons and two daughters: George Edgar Stewart, Pearl Evelyn Stewart, Stillborn Son Stewart and Evelyn M. Stewart.
Pearl E. Stewart worked as a Nurse, in a hospital in Pennsylvania, when she married John Frank Connolly, the hospital's Dentist. They were married on November 21, 1932 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, had two sons, John F., Jr. and Ronald Connolly, before they were separated.
Evelyn M. Stewart was married to Thomas Stanley Tweedie on November 17, 1921 in Montville. They had 2 daughters born in Maine: Myra Charlotte Tweedie and Arlene May Tweedie. Evelyn M. and Thomas Tweedie moved to Florida, where she died at 86 and he at 81.
In 1900, Charles Mccorrison 45, Abby Mccorrison 56 and Henry Mccorrison 17, are still living in Montville, on the McFarland's farm. Henry C. McCorrison 24, married 26-year-old, Elizabeth Belle Frye on October 30, 1907, in Montville and they would live with his parents.
In 1910, Charles S. Mccorrison 54, wife Hariet [sic] (Abbie) F. Mccorrison 58 (actual age is 67), their son Henry C. Mccorrison 26, his wife Elizabeth F. Mccorrison 28, all live in Montville together.
There are no records for any family members in 1920, although a WWI Draft Card on September 12, 1918, for Henry Charles Mccorrison, lists that he and wife Elizabeth F. Mccorrison, live in Thorndike, Maine.
1930 Census in Montville, Charles S. Mccorrison 74, widowed, lives with his son, Henry C. Mccorrison 46, Elizabeth Mccorrison 48, their two children, Stanley F. Mccorrison 12 and Winifred Mccorrison 9.
In 1940, Charles Mccorison [sic] 74, lives with his son Henery [sic] Mccorison [sic] 57, Henry's wife, Elizabeth F. McCorrison 58, their two children, Stanley F. McCorrison 22 and Winifred E. McCorrison 19. A son of Stanley McCorrison, is the curator of the North Montville Baptist Church (built in 1856) on Halldale Road, near the Halldale Cemetery.
Abigail Frances (Bailey) McCorrison died at the age of 87. She is buried with her third husband, Charles and their son Henry, in Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Freedom, Maine. Abbie's daughters, Cora (McFarland) Vose and Alice (Rowell) Stewart, are both buried in Halldale Cemetery.
George Wilson Rowell was the third victim of the family curse, unless you include his mother, Hannah (Vose) Rowell, who allegedly died of "Insanity", at age 59, in the State Asylum in Augusta, Maine.
You might argue that George Rowell was not a victim at all, but just the bully doing the victimizing. Was he an abusive alcoholic, whose building rage consumed him to the point of violent madness? Or was it just a matter of time, before his brain completely whittled away, from the effects of using toxic liquid mercury, hydraulic mining in California?
Was George Wilson Rowell's mental deterioration caused by an occupational hazard or a familial predisposition? Was he culpable for his own death and that of John and Selena McFarland? You decide.

Gabriel (), nacido Goderdzi Urgebadze (; 26 de agosto – 2 de noviembre de 1995) fue un monje ortodoxo georgiano venerado por su dedicada vida monástica y piedad. Con muchos milagros atribuidos a él, la tumba de Gabriel en Mtsjeta ha atraído a un número creciente de peregrinos. La Iglesia ortodoxa apostólica autocéfala de Georgia lo canonizó oficialmente como San Gabriel, Confesor y "Loco en Cristo" (წმ. ღირსი მამა გაბრიელი აღმსარებელი-სალოსი), el 20 de diciembre de 2012.

Biografía
Gabriel nació como Goderdzi Urgebadze en Tiflis, (Georgia) en la familia de un funcionario del partido comunista, quien fue asesinado en 1931. Después de un servicio obligatorio en el Ejército Rojo, decidió unirse a la vida monástica y se convirtió en un monje bajo el nombre de Gabriel en 1955. Se hizo famoso al prender fuego a una pancarta que representaba Vladimir Lenin durante un desfile del Día Internacional de los Trabajadores en el centro de Tiflis en 1965. Fue arrestado, juzgado, declarado como psicótico y confinado en un hospital psiquiátrico durante siete meses.
También se publicó un relato de este incidente en el Occidente, en el ortodoxo zine  Death to the World  en 1994.

Gabriel pasó gran parte de su vida posterior en el convento de Santa Ninó, un convento junto al Monasterio de Samtavro en Mtsjeta, una antigua ciudad al norte de Tiflis. Murió allí en 1995 y fue enterrado en el cementerio de Samtavro.

Veneración

Los seguidores ortodoxos creen que el monje Gabriel poseía poderes de curación y profecía, mientras que sus restos se consideran incorruptos. El aceite de una lámpara que ardía constantemente en su tumba en Mtsjeta también se consideró milagroso. La tumba se convirtió en un lugar de peregrinación cada vez más popular. Las reliquias de Gabriel fueron exhumadas para su entierro en una cripta especial dentro del monasterio Samtavro en febrero de 2014. Antes del entierro, su cuerpo descansaba en cuatro grandes catedrales ortodoxas en Georgia, atrayendo a miles de peregrinos de todo el país.

The Indie Mine Unearthing the hidden gems of culture and entertainment
Tower of Elements 2 Preview
Off the heels of a previously successful Kickstarter campaign, Frogdice is back with another campaign for a sequel to their game Tower of Elements.
Tower of Elements 2 has so many elements smashed up against each other that I'll be impressed if they all work together seamlessly. The game combines classic city building with real-time strategy combat that mixes together match-3 puzzles and tower defense. All things that sound right up my alley, honestly.
The city building has everything you'd expect from the genre. You choose a continent on which to build your city, with each of the three having its own advantages and disadvantages. From there, you have a variety of building types to choose from, resources to manage, citizens to allocate to different jobs, and policy decisions that affect both your city and your troops on the battlefield.
Actual combat takes the form of match-3 puzzles. Match the runes and elemental bolts blast out from your tower and hit oncoming foes. Other aspects of tower defense games are included, such as building barriers and deploying troops. There will also be a good bunch of challenging bosses to take on, as well as a bestiary from which to view and play around with the various enemy types you encounter. Really, it all looks like a ton of fun.
Having already gone over its goal, Tower of Elements 2 is a safe campaign to pledge towards. $10 is the minimum amount you'll have to pledge to get a DRM-free copy of the game for PC, Mac, or Linux along with a Steam key if the game is Greenlit. The Kickstarter is getting pretty close to its first stretch goal, which is one that's actually pretty cool: an alternate board layout. It'd definitely be worth it to unlock this goal as it'd really increase the replayability of the game overall.
Anyway, go on over to the Kickstarter page and pledge towards the game. You can also vote for Tower of Elements 2 on Steam Greenlight, follow its development on Twitter and Facebook, and find out even more on the developer's website.
