StandWithUs files complaint against George Washington U, alleging antisemitism
"A professor targeting Jewish and Israeli students for adverse treatment is textbook antisemitic discriminatory conduct."

(January 12, 2023 / JNS) The Israel education organization StandWithUs has filed a complaint against George Washington University with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, alleging a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The complaint alleges "a pervasive, hostile, and discriminatory environment for Jewish and Israeli students within the Professional Psychology Program" at the university in the U.S. capital, the NGO announced on Thursday.
The complaint says Prof. Lara Sheehi, a facilitator of the program's mandatory diversity course, targeted Jewish and Israeli students in a pattern of persistent, discriminatory and retaliatory acts. It alleges that this denies students, on the basis of their identities, the right to equal educational opportunity and treatment.
"A professor singling out and targeting Jewish and Israeli students for adverse treatment because of their identity is textbook antisemitic discriminatory conduct," said StandWithUs CEO and co-founder Roz Rothstein.
SWU alleges that during the Fall 2022 semester, Sheehi repeatedly targeted Jewish and Israeli students in the program's diversity course by disparaging and attacking their identities and encouraging others in the program to do the same. In one particular instance, Sheehi invited and supported a guest lecturer who invoked age-old antisemitic tropes about Jews being dishonest and using their influence for nefarious purposes. The lecturer also expressed support for violence against Israeli civilians.
When the students raised concerns about the antisemitic harassment they were experiencing, Sheehi denied that what the students experienced was antisemitism and accused the Jewish students of attacking other identity groups. StandWithUs says that Sheehi only treated Jewish and Israeli students in a discriminatory manner, depriving them of the opportunity to define their own identity.
Retaliation against Jewish students
Sheehi later retaliated against the Jewish students when they brought her disparaging and differential treatment to the attention of university administrations, by targeting the most vocal students among them and slandering their reputations to other faculty members in the department. Sheehi also subjected the students to baseless disciplinary proceedings, while the university took no steps to protect the students and their reputations from retaliation by the professor.
StandWithUs says that the university enabled the retaliatory punitive proceedings to proceed without any investigation into their merit.
"George Washington University has failed to provide adequate protection for the Jewish and Israeli students seeking redress from Professor Sheehi's persistent antisemitic bigotry in and out of the classroom," said Yael Lerman, founding director of the SWU Legal Department. "Instead, George Washington administrators disregarded the students' allegations and enabled a professor to retaliate against those students after they sought the administration's help in fighting discrimination.
"In doing so, the university has violated its obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and indicated that it permits institutionalized antisemitism against its Jewish and Israeli students," Lerman said.
The StandWithUs complaint outlines the following measures the university should undertake to remedy this situation:
Reverse all punitive and retaliatory measures taken against the Jewish students who expressed concern about a hostile education.
Offer those students an alternative professor or accommodation to fulfill program requirements that take them out of Sheehi's orbit and influence.
Open a full and immediate investigation into all student complaints about antisemitism by Sheehi and take all appropriate remedial action.
Institute mandatory bias and sensitivity training for all students, faculty and staff in the program.
Adopt the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism and require that members of the program utilize it when evaluating claims of antisemitism both in and out of the classroom.
"The hostile environment at the George Washington Professional Psychology Program and the failure of the administration to act to correct it are unacceptable," said Carly Gammill, founding director of the StandWithUs Center for Combating Antisemitism.
"Too often, when Jewish students raise concerns about antisemitism, they are subjected to gaslighting or false claims meant to cause self-doubt and deflect the bigotry at play. Jewish and Israeli students deserve the same level of respect and consideration as all other minority groups when they report cases of bigotry and discrimination," Gammill said.

Q: Correct hypothesis test to use here? I have 5 samples from which I gathered data at 5 separate time points (days).
Each day I observe the distribution of some RV.
When I plot the distribution for each day it sort of looks like this for one sample.

There's supposed to be a distribution change after day 0, but I'm trying to see if there's a difference between Days 1-6. The distributions between days look kind of different in the plot, but I'm pretty sure that's just due to noise.
If I look at my other samples the amount the distributions varies for a fixed day between samples is more than the distribution varies between days. In other words, if I look at the distribution at Day 1 for samples 1 and 2, the distribution varies more than it does between Day 1 and 2 for either sample.
I can see that in plots, but I'm trying to show that with math. The way I've found is to use the Kolmogorov Smirnov test which in my limited understanding tells me the "distance" between two distributions. The distance I calculate between days is around the same as the distance I calculate between samples. Is that the best way to do this? Is there another way to express what I'm trying to say:
While there is a difference in distributions between days in Sample X, the difference is no greater than the difference between samples for a fixed day. As such we chose to omit this feature in our model.
Another thing to note is that using p-values don't work too well in my scenario since I have >4000 samples of the rv each day.
Please let me know thanks :)

Miami Police have released surveillance video of Tavares Anthony Canty, the man wanted for attempted kidnapping and a sexual assault case that occurred last week in Little Haiti. Video shows Tavares Anthony Canty, 34, attempting to kidnap a woman early Thursday morning. Canty grabs the victim and attempts to force himself into her home. Luckily, after a brief struggle, the woman is able to escape. A short time later, police say that the same suspect sexually assaulted a different woman in the same area. Both crimes occurred Thursday between 7 and 8 a.m.
Police say that Canty is armed and dangerous. Crime Stoppers is offering a $3,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest.
If you have any information on Canty's whereabouts, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.


Ranchi, April 18 (IANS) A Special CBI court here on Wednesday sentenced 37 people to jail between three to 14 years in a fodder scam case, and also imposed a fine of up to Rs 1 crore on some of them.
According to a lawyer, four officials have been awarded up to 14 years' imprisonment. Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Judge Shivapal Singh pronounced the sentence on Wednesday, said a lawyer.
The CBI court on April 9 had convicted 37 people in a fodder scam case related to the fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 34.91 crore from Dumka from 1991-1992 and 1995-1996. This is the 51st fodder scam case in which the CBI court has delivered judgment.
The FIR was lodged against 72 people in 1996.
The charges were framed against 60 accused in 2004. Fourteen accused died during the trial, two admitted their crime and two are absconding.
The court on April 9 had convicted 37 and acquitted five accused.
The fodder scam came to light in 1996 after an FIR was lodged against then Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad.
Lalu Prasad has been convicted in four cases and serving the sentence. He was awarded 14 years of imprisonment on March 23.
The former chief minister is currently undergoing treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) in New Delhi.

Customer Success Series
OMS Log Analytics: The New Experience
There's never been a better time to implement Operations Management Suite Log Analytics than now. The platform has recently experienced its largest and most fundamental update since its inception, providing even greater analytics capabilities than ever before, while still retaining all the functionality and solutions that users have grown to love.
Microsoft recently announced (link) the general availability of the New Log Analytics Experience, centered around a massive update under the service's hood – a brand new search language that brings increased capability and flexibility when writing queries. Common filtering tools like Joins, Unions, and Calculated Fields are now built in and easy to use. Additionally, the new platform also supports writing queries that span multiple OMS Log Analytics Workspaces (link), opening up a host of new options for designing a Log Analytics implementation while still enabling you to analyze data in all workspaces simultaneously.
Another primary new component to the new Log Analytics is the Advanced Analytics Portal. Those of you who have used Application Insights (another OMS tool!) in the past will recognize it, but for those who haven't, you'll quickly find that the query experience has been supercharged. Tabbed queries, new options for data presentation, and powerful smart analytics capabilities are built in to enable greater ease of use and make it easier to gain important insights from your data using automatic pattern and exception recognition tools.
Microsoft is making sure that everyone is able to ramp up their skills in the new system easily by providing multiple resources for training. First, they've created a dedicated website with thorough documentation on the new search syntax (link), including examples, tutorials, and more. The "classic" Log Analytics portal also has a built-in query converter – you can enter in any query from the old language and have it automatically converted to the new language, illustrating exactly how the new language syntax lines up against the old. Additionally, they've published a freely-available and accessible "playground" environment (link) where anyone can test queries, experiment with the new portal, and get skilled up at their own pace. Even more, they are publishing additional query examples to a GitHub repository (link) – these can be used when learning or as foundations for building queries to present the data you are looking for from your own environment. Finally, they've put up a community site (link) where users are encouraged to communicate, ask questions, share solutions, and more.
It should also be stated that everything that users loved about Log Analytics is still there – via the Log Analytics portal or the Azure portal, queries can still be ran and data viewed in the same ways they've always been. Additionally, all of OMS Log Analytics' Solutions (link) have been updated to support the new language. Microsoft is also continuing to announce and release new solutions all the time. Log Analytics is everything it's ever been and continuing to improve and offer more features and functionality all the time.
The new OMS Log Analytics experience gives you even more power than ever to gain insights from your environment, perform root cause analysis of performance issues, track all of your infrastructure components and services in a single place, and take your infrastructure management to the next level. Upgrade your existing workspaces or set up a new one today and start taking control of your environment.

Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum's Walk of Recognition
Posted on 12 December 2019 by LeslieM

Every year, the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum (BRHS&M) chooses special individuals and/or institutions to honor by inscribing their name on a granite star on the Walk of Recognition (or listing them on the Wall of Honor if they are deceased). The stars are under part of the commemorative monument beneath the Mizner statue in Royal Palm Place. This accolade is given to people who have worked in some way to enrich the lives of the residents of Boca Raton.
The award was first created in 1997 by Marta Batsmanian, who was present at this year's ceremony on Nov. 6 along with her husband Jim. The Committee Co-Chairs were Marta Batmasian and Joyce DeVita; and the committee members were Denise Alman and Ann Schauer.
After having a ceremony for placing the name, there was a reception at The Addison restaurant with over 130 in attendance. Following a presentation there for the honorees, guests enjoyed dinner-by-the-bite at food stations with live entertainment in the courtyard.
This year's honorees were Arthur Adler, Kerry Koen, the late George Barbar, the late Dr. Merrilee Middleton, and Florida Atlantic University.
BRHS&M Executive Director Mary Csar stated, "The Walk of Recognition event was a great celebration of community in a beautiful setting at The Addison. All of the inductees, and their representatives, had powerful and moving stories about their contributions to Boca Raton. I think that every person, who attended the event feels very fortunate to be living in this community. We are proud to be able to recognize people from all walks of life, along with a wide range of institutions, who have made a positive impact on the quality of life here."
Also mentioned at the event were the new renovations happening at the museum — their History Alive! project to renovate the museum and make it more state-of-the-art and interactive.
The mission and the purpose, of the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum is to collect, preserve, and present information and artifacts, relevant to the past and evolving history of Boca Raton, and to maintain a visible role in education and advocacy of historic preservation in our community.

Exploring the cosmos with artist Carol Prusa
Posted on 31 August 2019 by LeslieM
Artist Carol Prusa stands in front of "Dark Light, Elegy for Rebecca Elson."
Light and its absence are at the heart of Carol Prusa's latest exhibit at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. What lies within the void is the question… what possibility lurks outside of the reach of mind's eye? What was there before the beginning of the universe? Finding the answers to these questions certainly were within the mind of Prusa as she was creating her works with painstaking precision. Her artwork utilizes details, lines, shapes and symmetry to explore the abstract. Her "Dark Light" exhibition, which opened Aug. 20 and will be on display until Jan. 19, 2020, centers around her experiences of an eclipse.
"I got to experience the night during the day. The first was in Nebraska in 2017. It was so unsettling, so otherworldly. I had to try to grasp what I had just experienced. It knocked me backward. I had to lose my grounding. I had to try to express it the best way I could. I just went again in July 2019 to Chile. I had to see it again, to see if what I thought I saw, I saw," said Prusa, who is now hoping to experience volcanoes. She has applied to do so at the Hawaii National Volcano Park, where they have just reopened residency.
When not creating works of art about the cosmos, she is reading about women who explored the cosmos in other ways, astronauts who have made vast discoveries, women like Maria Mitchell, who was not only the first female astronomer but the first scientist to discover a comet, among other accomplishments. Mitchell also seemed enamored with eclipses, as she led an all female expedition to Colorado in 1878 to observe one.
"I read a lot of cosmology and physics, big ideas that totally blow my mind," said Prusa, adding that she likes to explore ideas like what was before the Big Bang, as well as string theory and more.
"It has to be that I don't understand and then try to understand," she said. "I need a catalyst to trigger …"
She added, "I love riding a bike at night. You think you see things. It is your mind buzzing, trying to fill the blanks. It is mind blowing. I think artists already are staring into darkness, scientists too."
She was in Italy teaching drawing classes, and, while at the Uffizi Museum, she got to see drawings done with a process called Silverpoint, which she then began teaching her students and incorporated into her own work. She also uses graphite and acrylic working on plexiglass and wood panels. Some of her pieces in the museum exhibit are lit from within and one, called "Quintessence," even has video, looking a bit like a kaleidoscope. The most imposing piece is a large scale work called "Dark Light, Elegy for Rebecca Elson," who was a theoretical astrophysicist whose research focused on dark matter and who died of lymphoma.
With her "Cosmic Web (for the Harvard Observatory Computers)" piece, you feel like you are on the outside looking in.
She explained, "The perimeter is biological, a portal to the universe," she said, adding that what looks a bit like brain matter around the edge was meant to look like "embryos before they are differentiated by gender. They are pure possibility."
The "computers" of which she speaks are a group of female astronomers in the 1800s and 1900s who helped map the universe, including Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Annie Jump Cannon and Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin.
She also has a series of smaller copperplate etchings honoring women astronomers, including Maria Mitchell, Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Annie Jump Cannon, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, Vera Rubin and Jocelyn Bell Burnell. The portfolio is called "Galaxias Kyklos," which means "Milky Path" (or Milky Way) in Greek.
Kathleen Goncharov, the Senior Curator of the Museum, curated the exhibit. If it were up to Prusa, her pieces would be logical, perhaps chronological and certainly lined up. But the curator thought about it differently, said Prusa, looking more at the visual impact experienced by the viewer.
Executive Director Irvin Lippman feels the exhibit came together in the perfect way at the perfect time, being that it deals with the cosmos just in time for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
"How timely … with the eclipse with the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. It is a bit of serendipity. We are also keen in the educational department to talk about the value of STEAM (science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math). Carol makes the best argument for arts and technology coming together. She is a brilliant example of the scientific mind and creativity coming together."
He added, "The museum was founded by artists and it's very important to continue to have exhibits that celebrate Florida artists. Carol has been so involved for many years judging juried shows, at the museum and art school. It is important to show her work."
While looking over the collection of her artwork, Lippman said, "When you approach it, it's so meditative. When an eclipse happens, everything else falls by the wayside. They last only a few moments, but, during those moments, everyone focuses together. [The center point of her pieces] draw you inside. [It has] almost meditative spots."
This is the first solo show here for Prusa, but she has been involved in group shows here in the past, as well as elsewhere. She will be shown in the Norton Sculpture Garden next fall and has a show in Taipei in a couple of weeks. She is in many galleries and is represented in Asia, Canada, Europe and the United States.
She lives here in Boca Raton, but moved here in 1999 from the midwest after reading an article written by Bernice Steinbaum, who said that South Florida was the place to be for the art world.
"Cosmic Web (for the Harvard Observatory Computers)" by Carol Prusa. Submitted photo.
Asked if she felt that Steinbaum was correct, she said, "I felt more opportunity than in the midwest. There is more money to support art in South Florida. But it was more commercial than I understood … that was a transition. I think I have done well. I feel fortunate."
Prusa wasn't always an artist.
"I was the president of the math club and a chemistry major. I was happy. I met an artist at the University of Illinois. She thought in such a different way. I thought I could not become a complete person unless I studied art," said Prusa, who received her Bachelor's of Science from the University of Illinois and her Masters of Fine Art from Drake University.
She ended up obtaining a biomedical communications degree. She became a Medical Illustrator, which combines science and art. She was qualified to "make life masks, prosthetics, exhibition design, anatomy drawings" and more.
Her family was not so thrilled with her career path. She came from a very religious and iconoclast upbringing. Her father was a Calvinist, a head elder. She said she felt that tradition did give her "great rigor," which she applied to her career, as she explored other ways of thinking than those she knew.
These days, Prusa does her work in her studio but it was not always the case.
"I used to work in my living room. Now, I have a 15 x 30 studio built in the backyard," she said, saying she built the studio after winning the South Florida Cultural Consortium $15,000 top prize in 2003. She later received another consortium prize for $7500.
When working on her pieces, she likes to listen to NPR.
"It takes a piece of my mind away so my mind can be more Zen. The judgmental and critical mind drops away and is given over to NPR."
When not working on her works of art, Prusa is a professor at the Florida Atlantic University teaching all levels of painting for undergraduate and graduate level. She has worked there for 19 years, but worked for 18 years prior teaching at Iowa State University. She has a husband and two children.
The Boca Raton Museum of Art is located within Mizner Park at 501 Plaza Real in Boca Raton. For more information on the museum, visit www.bocamuseum.org or call 561-392-2500. For more information on the artist, visit www.carolprusa.com.

Famed designer/author Hutton Wilkinson visits Boca Raton
Posted on 04 March 2019 by LeslieM
Famed interior designer, jewelry designer and author Hutton Wilkinson left California to pay a visit to South Florida. First, on Jan. 31, he went to the newly opened Jay Feder Jewelers (at 6859 SW 18 St. in Boca Raton) (www.jayfeder.com/bocaraton), where a party was held as he launched his Tony Duquette Jewelry Collection in style. The following day, he went to the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum to present his newest book, "Tony Duquette Dawnridge."
Guests were delighted to hear stories about how his once-partner designer Tony Duquette got his start and about his famous home. The home was built in 1949 by Tony and his wife Elizabeth. It was a simple structure — 30 x 30. But the home he created would become the go-to place for many of the Hollywood set, including Fred Astaire, Marion Davies, Loretta Young, Arthur Freed and Mary Pickford, among others. Tony had some luxurious parties in his home, complete with everything from Indian dancers to Chinese acrobats, bringing an exotic flair. When not living in the home, they rented it out to famous tenants like Marlon Brando and Eva Gabor. They soon bought the home next to Dawnridge, which they also rented out, but it burnt down in 1974. When the home was torn down, they used the land to create beautiful garden terraces. The expansion of Dawnridge would continue. The home — its interior and exterior — looked like a faraway land, like Japan, Austria or South Asia rather than Beverly Hills and it was used for many fashion shoots as well. The couple also bought other properties.
Hutton worked with Tony and, after Tony and his wife's passing, he and his wife Ruth decided to purchase the home and to remodel it. Today, Hutton maintains the home and continues to run the jewelry company that he had with Tony.
People can now purchase his "Dawnridge" book, with its 256 pages and 300 color illustrations, and see the transformation of the home through the years and read more about its history.

Q: JPGs downloaded from Facebook unrecognizable to Shotwell For some reason, Shotwell is unable to import or view jpg files downloaded from Facebook. (I doubt that Facebook has much to do with the issue - just mentioning my specifics here).
I hit the download link under a photo on Facebook, choose to save the file, then once it has downloaded I move it from my downloads folder to my pictures folder. I double check that the name ends in .jpg - yet when I search for the file using Import From Folder in Shotwell, its name is watermarked, and therefore cannot be selected or imported. Any thoughts?

A: The reason why the filename is watermarked is because you've selected the Import From Folder menu item.
When you import from Folder, all files in the folder that can be imported will be; you don't select individual files, you select a folder.
Try again, this time select your Pictures folder then click OK. All images in the Pictures folder that haven't already been imported will be.


Group BLACKPINK revealed the unique daily lives of individual members.
On BLACKPINK's first reality program 'BLACKPINK HOUSE' aired through JTBC2 on January 7 at 10 AM, BLACKPINK moved into the 'BLACKPINK HOUSE' after they finished their schedules. They were hesitant to move-in when they saw a camera set up at the entrance.
In the accommodation, the members took rest their own way, by sleeping, singing, and gaming in their individual rooms.
JENNIE stated, "We lived together for over 5 years now. We played together a lot when we were trainees, when we had a lot of time. Now we need our own space, so we spend our time individually".
So YANG HYUN SUK prepared a new house for BLACKPINK. 'BLACKPINK HOUSE' was created with the concept in which members of BLACKPINK spend a 100-day vacation in a newly built accommodation near Hongdae, Seoul. BLACKPINK shouted in excitement to hear the news that they will be mo9ving into a new house.
'BLACKPINK HOUSE' will be serviced through an unconventional method, by pre-releasing online and broadcasted later. Starting with a pre-release through YouTube and V-LIVE every Saturday at 9 PM, the full version will be revealed every Sunday at 10 AM through JTBC2. The people who missed the original airing can watch the show through a re-run in Olleh TV, every Monday at 10 AM.

My name is Earl Groce. I am 70 years old and a stage IV pancreatic cancer survivor for more than 2.5 years. As I have said many times, I just may be the luckiest stage IV pancreatic cancer patient to ever live.
I was diagnosed September 30, 2015 at the Rowan Memorial Hospital in Salisbury, North Carolina. My diagnosing doctor and I only met twice.
I went to the doctor because I thought I had a herniated belly button. My regular young doctor was out of town, so I saw the doctor who was filling in. After examining me this doctor suggested I get a CT scan that afternoon. After the scan was over I was told to go see my doctor again the next morning, even though I had no appointment.
The next morning, the doctor told me that I probably had stage IV pancreatic cancer. The CT scan had shown a large tumor in my pancreas and another in my liver, as well as multiple smaller tumors in my lungs and fatty tissues. He scheduled a biopsy the next day and the biopsy confirmed that I had pancreatic cancer. It turned out that what I thought was a herniated belly button was actually a Sister Mary Joseph nodule, an external sign of internal cancer.
I told the diagnosing doctor that I normally had pretty good luck, but I felt my luck had just run out. However, I was actually VERY LUCKY to have seen a very experienced general practitioner, who immediately recognized that I probably had some sort of internal cancer. And, luckily, my initial diagnosis took less than 24 hours.
I'm also VERY LUCKY to have a daughter who is a surgical oncologist with years of experience treating pancreatic cancer. She immediately came home to help guide me with my doctor selection. She started calling pancreatic cancer experts in my area. Her research pointed us to an oncologist at the Wake Forest Cancer Center in Winston Salem. Dr. Angela Alistar (now in Morristown, New Jersey) takes an aggressive approach to treating pancreatic cancer. Luckily, Wake Forest Cancer Center is a teaching and research hospital that is 20 times bigger and 20 miles closer to me than the Rowan Hospital. AND, luckily, Dr. Alistar was looking for participants in a phase I clinical trial for a new drug called CPI-613. After hearing about all my options, I quickly signed to participate in the clinical trial. I was LUCKY to be one of the last patients to get into this clinical trial.
Dr. Alistar, my daughter the doctor, and our study nurse worked very hard to get me set up for my first chemo. The time from initial diagnosis to my first chemo was only two weeks. In those two weeks, I got a port installed, initial blood work, another CT scan, my first MRI, and a trip to Walt Disney World with my wife, my daughter, her husband, and three grandkids.
The clinical trial consists of two chemotherapy drugs: a modified amount of FOLFIRINOX and the trial drug CPI-613. I receive chemo every two weeks. On Tuesdays, I get the main dose—I wear a pump for 46 hours getting 5-FU. On Thursdays, they remove the pump and give me another shot of CPI-613.
My first blood work showed a CA 19-9 of 2,500. After four weeks it had climbed to 10,000. But after the third round of chemo, it started going down. Plotting these numbers coming down forms the most beautiful graph I've ever seen. After only 11 months of chemo, my CA 19-9 went below 35 (35 is normal), and has stayed low ever since. At my recent blood work in May 2018, it was 7.2.
As part of the clinical trial, I get CT and MRI scans after every four rounds of chemo. At my first scan after starting the treatment, my tumors had shrunk by about 30 percent. At about six months into chemo, my lung and fatty tissue tumors were apparently gone. After a year, my tumors in my liver and pancreas appeared to be only scar tissue. Luckily, no scan has ever been worse than a previous one.
Many patients cannot tolerate FOLFIRINOX. Luckily I have tolerated it well. I don't know if it's me, the slightly reduced amount used in the clinical trial, or the combination of FOLFIRINOX plus the CPI-613. Regardless, chemo has not affected me badly.
I'm pretty active for a normal 70-year-old. I KNOW I'm active for a 70-year-old that was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer 30 months ago. I feel good 12 of the 14 days of my chemo cycle; on the two days of chemo I feel like I have the flu. I have had a few rounds of diarrhea that were controllable with just a little extra medicine. I finished my 60th round of chemo in the beginning of May—almost no one has had 60 rounds of FOLFIRINOX. I had my 16th set of scans shortly after the chemo. With my CA 19-9 level where it is, I think they will be clear.
Luckily, I was one of the last patients to join the clinical trial. Since the four patients that came off chemo had to all go back onto different treatments, Dr. Alistar and Dr. George Yacoub have decided to see what will happen if I don't come off chemo. I am to stay on it as long as my body will allow it. So far, my blood tests show no real issues. I feel ok.
When I retired in July 2015, my wife and I began traveling in our small motor home. In August of 2015 we took a trip west, which included a stop at Burning Man, for our first visit to the week-long art festival in the desert north of Reno, Nevada. Three weeks later, I got my diagnosis. A few days later my wife hugged me, looked me in the eyes and said: "We WILL go back to Burning Man next year." I remember thinking to myself, I love you but you know I have stage IV pancreatic cancer, so fat chance of ME going back. Well, we went back in 2016. And we went back in 2017. My wife has bought tickets for us to go again this year.
My wife and I travel a lot. My doctor daughter and her family live about 14 hours away, and we visit four times per year. We have gone on family vacations to Key West, Yellowstone, Destin (Florida), Asheville (North Carolina), and multiple family trips to Wilmington, North Carolina, where my son lives. We took a family trip to Cancun, where I went scuba diving.
I have no idea what the future will bring. But I tell everyone that if you are diagnosed with this awful disease and get a chance to be involved in any clinical trial, DO IT!


As a photographer I am used to immersing myself in the world of design for work, but it's also something I really enjoy during my "down-time" as well. I'm also an incredibly nosy person! Both of these things make this book Farfetch Curates Design absolutely perfect for me.
Whilst you might associate Farfetch with fashion boutiques, you might not have realised that those very boutiques are often the ideal breeding ground for new, innovative designs. You might not notice that the chair you're sitting on is a prototype made in Brazil, or that the table you have just placed your bag on won a design award last year. But if the fixtures and fittings were just cheap mass-production pieces you certainly would notice. It would cheapen the feeling of everything in that retail space, you might view the clothes themselves differently. All subconsciously, isn't it fascinating?
The book covers a great range of areas for such a compact read! From designers favourite objects (I found a wonderful teapot in this book, I'm now hunting for a lookalike), places (learn a bit about World Design Capital 2016, Tapei), take a look inside designer's own homes, discover new design-centric hotels and learn about the relationships between 'design lovers'.
I learnt quite a few new things reading this book; as I said above I've discovered a teapot I'm desperate to find a copy of, a hotel I cannot wait to visit, a Berlin boutique that I will definitely be popping in on and found some great inspiration for a couple of projects that I've got coming up in the next few months.
Even if you don't think you're that into design, I think you'd be surprised just how much it influences your everyday life. Alternatively, you can just enjoy flicking through the photos! I'll be keeping my copy on my desk, ready for quick doses of inspiration as & when I need them.
You can get your hands on your own copy of Farfetch Curates Design here for £16. I think it would make a wonderful Christmas gift!
Let me know what you think, are you a design lover like me? What's your favourite object in your home? I'd love to know, so please leave a comment below!

Phillip Nelson
Lecturer in Philosophy
Phillip's research and interests involve political philosophy of war, phenomenology, and existential philosophy. In his dissertation, "War & Responsibility: A Political Phenomenology," he argues that responsibility is an essentially political phenomenon, and, in war, it is inversely related to the proximity of battle. This thesis follows from Hannah Arendt's argument that appearance is the defining characteristic of the political realm, that individuals must appear among a plurality of witnesses to be political at all. Thus, soldiers—who are fundamentally different than civilians and distinct from the political realm—are not appearing individuals, but instead belong to the troop, which is a homogenous institution, rather than a plurality of individuals. Because soldiers do not appear among this plurality, they cannot be agents of political speech and action, and are therefore not politically responsible for war in the same way as civilians. Phillip's future work will explore other political terms related to responsibility, such as testimony and patriotism.

In 2017, over 150 spaces in China, HK, Japan, Singapore and Thailand were using the gams indoor environment quality (IEQ) monitoring solution, sending a whopping 317.4 million data points and covering a total of 640,000 sqm across schools, offices, co-working spaces and retail spaces. We've noticed a strong interest in IEQ as both smart management and healthy environment become a requirement for more and more building users.
And now, before we step into a brand-new phase, what better way to bring in a fresh 2018 than by taking a look back on moments and events that made 2017 different!
gams smart environment monitoring and management platform offers real time IEQ visualization and data analysis across all your devices & environments, anytime and anywhere.
The platform is built to offer agile real time data insight for better building management. We send weekly IEQ performance report as well as actionable notifications when there is an adverse change in your environment. In addition to reducing the workload of operation teams manually measuring and reporting IEQ levels, our centralized control center provides an overview and detailed analysis of their spaces – all in one place!
The gams platform is built to be flexible and extensible to maximize monitoring coverage and data processing. Thanks to our engineering team, this year we have successfully connected 5 new monitors onto our platform. It's always been one of our goals to provide a single platform to all our customers monitoring and management needs. Our unified reporting and control platform sets the standard across all IEQ data.
Thanks to AIA (American Institute of Architects), AmCham, French Chamber of Commerce and all of our event partners, this year we successfully held 4 events in both Shanghai and Beijing where over 200 professionals from architecture, Green Building and prop tech joined us. For 2018, our quarterly events will aim to bring the green building tech community together and create a discussion forum for progress in knowledge and practices.
Stay tuned on our upcoming events!
We believe that monitoring indoor environment quality is essential to optimizing our indoor spaces. Leveraging IEQ data and derived insights gives us ultimate control over the micro environment in which we live and work. Among the professionals and companies we met last year, we are excited by the ones sharing the same vision and stepping forward to take control of their environment.
While we continue working on a greater public awareness, we are deeply encouraged that some big businesses and important community actors have committed to work with us and our solution partners!
We want to thank our forward-thinking customers and partners for trusting what we do. We saw the shift happening especially last year with more and more professionals and companies adopting advanced IEQ monitoring solutions.
In 2017, we saw an increase in monitoring and management demands from environment professionals. We now provide the benefits of our solution to multiple partners including AtmosAir, EnVerid, JLL, PureLiving and Environment Assured among others across Asia. Together, we aim to provide healthier and more sustainable living and working environments.
Last year was important for gams, it continued to reinforce the belief that real time environmental data can be turned into decisions and actions that lead to healthy living environments and reduced operation costs.
We believe that for the next generation of building management, smart is everything. In order to achieve that, smart monitoring and management are central and indispensable. While we work on new features and tools to match this vision, here is a shortlist of our biggest priorities: more IoT for IEQ, more flexible and user friendly reporting and IEQ forecasting and automation.
Monitoring is the starting point to real-time IEQ data and intelligence. To be able to take complete control of our indoor spaces, we are searching, testing and connecting more environmental monitors onto the gams platform to widen our IEQ offering. To start off, we will be looking at Energy and HVAC monitoring.
Robust reporting has always been a core part of our offering, besides the ones that we shipped last year (automatic weekly report, disconnection notifications, school outdoor PM2.5 alert report and raw data extractions), we will be developing more reporting mechanisms specific to IEQ. Very soon, all of our reports will be linked to an exclusive WeChat Mini APP!
Indoor environments are constantly changing, each with their own unique layout and complicated air handling system. This is part of the reason why indoor environments are so hard to manage and why human led operations can lead to less than ideal IEQ levels.
To optimize environmental management for best efficiency and reduce tedious & potentially faulty operations, gams is committed to developing reliable forecasting capabilities and embracing full building automation. gams uses Machine Learning to build up our proprietary IEQ forecasting engine (in test phase). The results and reliability of our predictions are providing us with a strong platform for automation. By the time this article releases, we have already begun rolling-out our vert first IEQ smart control pilot project using real-time monitoring and forecasting.

Q: Caliburn resetting SelectedIndex on ComboBox I have a ComboBox that has is its ItemsSource bound to a list of items in my ViewModel as well as SelectedItem being bound to a property. I also have another ComboBox that is bound to another list, but that uses SelectedIndex instead. When I select an item from the first ComboBox, it changes the contents of the seconds ComboBox, and the property bound to SelectedIndex gets set to -1, which causes nothing to be selected in the ComboBox.
Why is the SelectedIndex property reset to -1, and what can I do to prevent it?
View
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding MyList}" SelectedItem="{Binding MySelectedItem}"></ComboBox>
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding MyArray}" SelectedIndex="{Binding MySelectedIndex}"></ComboBox>

ViewModel
public List<Foo> MyList { get; set; }
private Foo _mySelectedItem;
public Foo MySelectedItem {
    get { return _mySelectedItem; }
    set {
        if (Equals(value, _mySelectedItem)) return;
        _mySelectedItem = value;
        NotifyOfPropertyChange();
        MyArray = new [] { "othervalue1", "othervalue2", "othervalue3" };
        NotifyOfPropertychange(() => MyArray);
    }
}
public string[] MyArray { get; set; }
public int MySelectedIndex { get; set; }

public MyViewModel() {
    MyList = new List<Foo> { new Foo(), new Foo(), new Foo() };
    MySelectedItem = MyList.First();

    MyArray = new [] { "value1", "value2", "value3" };
    MySelectedIndex = 1; // "value2"

    NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => MyList);
}

So, selecting something from ComboBox bound to MyList causes MyArray to be built with new values. This causes MySelectedIndex to suddenly have the value -1, even though the same indices exist in the new array.

A: The SelectedItem is indeed reset because the selected item is cleared out when the ItemsSource property is set to a new collection of items.
But you should be able to store the index in a temporary variable and re-assign it after the ItemsSource has been updated:
public Foo MySelectedItem
{
    get { return _mySelectedItem; }
    set
    {
        if (Equals(value, _mySelectedItem)) return;
        _mySelectedItem = value;
        NotifyOfPropertyChange();
        int temp = MySelectedIndex;
        MyArray = new[] { "othervalue1", "othervalue2", "othervalue3" };
        NotifyOfPropertychange(() => MyArray);

        SelectedIndex = temp;
        NotifyOfPropertychange(() => SelectedIndex);
    }
}

Charles Alfred Taliaferro, conhecido simplesmente como Al Taliaferro (Montrose, 29 de agosto de 1905 — Glendale, 3 de fevereiro de 1969) foi um artista de quadrinhos da Disney, que costumava produzir tiras. Muitas de suas tiras foram escritas por Bob Karp.

Ele é mais conhecido por seu trabalho na tira em quadrinhos do Pato Donald, mas ele começou sua carreira rotulando as tiras de Mickey Mouse (março de 1931 - julho de 1932), e desenhou os quadrinhos Bug Bucky em 1932, bem como páginas Silly Symphonies de 1932 a 1939. Taliaferro co-criou uma série de personagens, incluindo Huguinho, Zezinho e Luisinho, Bolívar, Vovó Donalda, e, possivelmente, Margarida. Ele desenhou as tiras em quadrinhos do Pato Donald, de 1938 até sua morte em 1969 em Glendale, Califórnia.

Q: $\alpha \in L(L^p, L^{2p})\; \Rightarrow\; \alpha \in L(L^{2p}, L^{4p}), \, p \in [1,\infty)?$ Let $p \in [1,\infty)$ and $\alpha \in \mathcal{L}(L^p\!, \,L^{2p}),$ meaning $\alpha\colon L^p \rightarrow L^{2p}$ is linear and bounded, where $L^p$ and $L^{2p}$ stand for the $L^p$- and $L^{2p}$-space.
Since $||\alpha||_{\mathcal{L}(L^p\!, \,L^{2p})} = \,\sup_{||x||_{L^p}\leq 1}||\alpha(x)||_{L^{2p}}$ and we know that $L^{2p} \subseteq L^p$ with $||\cdot||_{L^{2p}} \leq ||\cdot||_{L^p},$ the operator $\alpha$ is also an element of $\mathcal{L}(L^p\!, \,L^{p})$ and of $\mathcal{L}(L^{2p}\!, \,L^{2p}).$
Question1: $\;\;\alpha \in \mathcal{L}(L^p\!, \,L^{2p})\quad \stackrel{?}{\Longrightarrow}\quad\alpha \in \mathcal{L}(L^{2p}\!, \,L^{4p}).$
Question2: $\;\;$Do operators $\alpha \in \mathcal{L}(L^p\!, \,L^{2p})$ exist which have no representation as an (Hilbert-Schmidt) integral operator?
Question3: $\;\;$Do you have examples for operators $\alpha \in \mathcal{L}(L^p\!, \,L^{2p})?$ Even better: do you know classes of operators which belong to $\mathcal{L}(L^p\!, \,L^{2p})?$
Thank you in advance.

A: Pick a function in $g\in L^q$ where $q=p/(p-1)$, and a function $h\in L^{2p}$. Define
$$
\alpha(f) = h\int fg
$$
This is a rank-one operator from $L^p$ to $L^{2p}$. Its range consists of the constant multiples of the function $h$. In particular, it is not an operator from $L^{2p}$ to $L^{4p}$ unless $h$ happens to be in $L^{4p}$.
There are all kinds of operators between Lebesgue spaces. The problem with operators that don't have a nice integral form is that it's hard to describe them. For example, take a bounded sequence $b\in \ell^\infty$ and an unconditional basis $\{e_n\}$ in $L^{2p}$ such as the Haar basis. The map $\sum a_n e_n\mapsto \sum a_n b_n e_n$ is a bounded operator on $L^{2p}$ that is of a non-integral type. This can be composed with an integral operator from $L^p$ to $L^{2p}$.

I really like this theme! wow, it's so pretty. I agree with spyro, though, the banner doesn't seem to mesh well with the pretty background and colors. I think i'm going to use this theme even after the override is over.
I increased the contrast a little, does it look better now? Not sure if you'll notice it but the text colour was changed from #776 to #665.
but the banner is not matching in my opinion..
Well, the banner might be slightly off compare to the soft colour scheme but I believe it's due to the fact that I didn't use a lot of vivid colours in this theme, compare to Planetarium where I have orange vs. black. I might be able to ask Mokyomi to tweak the banner a little to match better with the theme but we'll see, depending on her willingness to make such a changes.
Some other people found the banner to fit perfectly well too, if that's what Mokie think herself than it's likely that the banner will stay the same.
Thanks for the feedback guys, keep em coming! Nobody likes the new emoticon colour pack?
Wow, this is amazing. DEFINETLY the best yet. Great jobs, eyn and mokie!!
And the emoticons are great.
Well, I'm kinda dissapointed that the font colour doesn't work out for some of you guys. If I am to use blue for the font it will look really awkward and out of place. Is it really that hard to read the text? Can someone tell me the font colour looks perfect on the background?
I think I'm not going to change the font colour because it looks fine on my screen, even with 16 bit colour quality in Windows they look okay. I'll remove the override soon, so if you find it really hard to read the text in this forum style, you can switch back to the other theme that you like, okay?
I like it better than the Planetarium version!
Overall this is a lovely theme. I voted for somewhat satisfied because I think the colour contrast should be greater and the banner is a little plain. I don't really like how the forum tables has almost the same colour as the background and yet it doesn't have a border. It makes everything looks mushed together. =( The text colour contrast could've been greater too.
i agree with what some other people said about the banner and the background. but then again, the banner has a variety of colour so it would be hard to find one colour background that match the banner. unless the background is a radient (sp?) with all the colour in the banner. but if that's the case, i don't think it'll give the theme the same effect as it is now.
i really like the simple background patterns. it's reminds me of wallpapers. and it gives this theme a really calm and classy feeling. and the new colour smily looks great! it really matches the mood and colour of this themem.
Wee ^^. I love the background and love the colours. Its so pretty =D. I'm sorry I didn't help . I be in no use if I did. Because Moks no-no phpBB2 stuff ><.

If you're considering replacing the siding on your home, but you want to know what the real cost to replace siding is then read on and find out!
Water damage to your home costs an average of $8,861. This does not include the damage hiding beneath and behind surfaces. Small leaks, condensation, and hidden mold can grow unabated in the space between your siding and walls.
Your home's siding protects you from the blistering sun, chilling winds, harsh winters, and drenching downpours. It does all of this without complaint for decades. Unfortunately, even with proper maintenance, even the best siding gets worn out by the elements.
Trying to decide between repair or replacement? Read on to learn the real cost to replace siding vs. the cost of repairs.
A telltale sign of siding trouble is a persistent mustiness or smell of damp. If you have visual signs of rot, mildew or mold, immediately check it out. It could be an easy to correct plumbing issue or a sign that your current exterior siding is failing.
If there is damaged siding to blame, you might need to repair the section, or the insulation, or both. If the damage is extensive or in many places, you might need to look at replacement.
Don't ignore the moisture. Even minor water damage promotes the growth of mold. Mold spores travel through the air. That means that even a small water leak can have long-lasting health risks.
Most insurance companies limit mold abatement payments. When making an analysis of the cost to replace siding, don't forget to include the benefit of a dry and healthy home!
Extreme weather can damage your siding. A crack, hole or rotted wood can let heat or cold escape into the air. If the area is small, a bit of foam insulation sprayed into the spot will help until a permanent repair is made.
Repairs are unsightly though. There is almost no way to match or blend in wood or vinyl siding due to weathering.
A high-quality fiber cement siding adds to your home's curb appeal as well as protecting you from the elements. It has an estimated life of 25 years, is low maintenance and quick to install. In combination with insulation, fiber cement siding is energy efficient, too.
Fiber cement offers the look of cedar with less cost. Repairing old cedar siding is time-consuming and expensive, especially if the damage is extensive. Additionally, modern materials will never match the older wood siding.
Use fiber cement siding to replace wood for approximately one-third less materials cost. Installation is easier too.
New vinyl siding is waterproof, rustproof, and corrosion proof. Some siding is virtually maintenance free for up to 25 years. Since repair of damaged vinyl is almost impossible to do invisibly, replacement of damage vinyl with new siding is cost-effective.
If you have damaged siding letting in water or air, you must fix the problem. For small areas, repairs are a good choice. However, larger areas that require removal of a section of siding never match.
