It all started here: the epic stealth series solid roots are firmly established with this action title. Snake must creep up on the unexpecting soldiers and guard dogs and take them out before their compatriots cotton on to their gagged plight. The only puzzle is why it took so long for Konami to re ignite its passionate gaming flame.

I am looking for a nanny for my 20 months old daughter. We live in Stoke on Trent, England. Work Monday to Friday. The child is sharing the room/sleeping in one room with the nanny.

Today we'd like to introduce you to Rachael Lynsey Rubin.
I started my company when I was 18 years old at Hofstra University. I was studying business management and was also working as a part time makeup artist. One night, I started taking photos of my friends, after I had done their makeup and hair. I put them outside in a snow storm, and from that point, a business was born.
I continued doing photo shoots with makeup and hair on all of my friends. Eventually, I had a portfolio and because of my work, I was hired to be the assistant of Alexa Winner, a celebrity stylist in NYC.
I worked in NYC with Alexa for a year, and then decided my company was developed enough to make a move to a more open market; my hometown of Framingham.
I moved home and opened up a 300 sq. foot studio space in a mill building. I was as one woman army, doing makeup, hair and photography AND styling, by myself! From this point, I was given the opportunity to move into a 2,000 sq. ft. space next door, which I am still currently operating out of today. In this space, I created Beauty PaRLR and RLR studio Inc.; the first ever, full service salon, combined in one suite with a full service photography studio.
Over the course of the next 7 months, I will be building my newest space. An 11,000 sq. foot salon and photography studio named PARLR; one of the largest salons and photography studios in the world offering world class beauty, bridal, photography and film services!
No road is smooth on the path to success….If you're successful, every struggle is turned into a learning lesson and a source of motivation. If not, you get road blocks. I don't allow road blocks in my life!
Alright – so let's talk business. Tell us about Beauty PaRLR & RLR Studio Inc. – what should we know?
There are 4 subdivisions of my company: Beauty + Photography + Film + Bridal.
We are incredibly unique, because this company, is yet to exist.
We specialize in offering high end, high quality and high customer service to our clients. We cater to B2B and B2C.
Our goal is to turn individuals, businesses and brands into the perfect version of themselves, through our amazing services.
I am an endlessly optimistic person.

The Mentoring & Inspiring Women in Radio (MIW) Group has opened the application window for its 2019 Mildred Carter MIW Group Mentoring Program. In its 18th year, the program pairs up-and-coming women who currently work in the radio industry with female professionals recognized as leaders in all aspects of radio broadcasting and media.
Beasley Media Group has committed to once again provide support as the lead sponsor of the 2019 initiative, which provides a comprehensive learning platform and networking opportunity for women interested in advancing their careers.
A total of four candidates from within the radio broadcasting industry – including management, sales, marketing, programming and digital disciplines – will be selected for the 2019 program. Of those, at least one spot will be designated for a programming candidate, and one spot designated for a digital candidate.
For mentee criteria, and instructions on how to apply, please visit www.radiomiw.com. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, February 20, 2019.
The MIW Group Mentoring Program is named in the memory of Mildred Carter, who, along with her husband, Andrew "Skip" Carter, founded the first African American owned radio station in the U.S. in 1950, when they turned on KPRS-AM in Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Carter ran the Carter Broadcast Group for many years after the death of Skip Carter, before turning over control of the company to her grandson, Michael Carter in 1987.


With UK top flight club Tottenham Hotspur set to play for the first time at its new £1 billion stadium this evening, taking on Crystal Palace in the Premier League, communications and media software and services specialist Amdocs has revealed findings which suggest that 5G will transform the sports experience for fans in stadiums.
According to Amdocs, live sport is often tipped as a potential use case of emerging technologies such as 5G and mixed reality, and the high-tech Tottenham Hotspur Stadium puts the club in a good position to capitalise.
The research finds that 76 per cent of network operators in Europe plan to use augmented reality (AR) technology, supported by 5G, to offer richer viewing experiences to fans at sports stadiums. Promising speeds up to tens of times faster and lower latency than 4G, 5G opens up the possibilities for new types of entertainment and in-stadium experiences.
Audiences could, for example, watch instant replays and 360-degree streams or look up player stats via AR and virtual reality (VR) technology, bringing them much closer to the action.
82 per cent of European operators are targeting the Euro 2020 football tournament (June – July 2020) to kick off 5G experiences to the consumer market.
94 per cent of European operators plan to trial 5G within sports and esports venues by the end of 2020.

Francesca Woodman's photography embraces the ambiguity and curiosity of the strong reality of life. Fragmented and mysterious in its nature, her photographs depicts a strength of character, multiple emotions and cultural modernity of the hyper-individualistic woman. Rather than focusing so much on De-constructivism and taking instances out of context, Woodman evaluates the importance of superimposing the different levels of the real.
In other words, with each image comes a different, explicit slice of life -- a deeper look into her inner world.
Currently showing at SF Moma, Francesca Woodman's retrospective, Francesca Woodman 1958-1981, is a must see. The exhibition is accompanied by a beautiful catalog, which includes the images shown above. A delicate approach to self-study and theatrical representation of the female world.

Portland celebrates in the sun
portland timbers soccer
sebastian blanco timbers
Late goal by Blanco beats Seattle, scores fourth-straight win
The hottest day of the year turned into the hottest ticket of the year, and the Portland Timbers didn't disappoint Sunday.
With a stellar connection between Samuel Armenteros and Sebastian Blanco and simple chip from 10 yards away to provide the scoring in the 86th minute, the Timbers won their fourth-consecutive game of the MLS Season, with three of them at Providence Park in front of the 21,444 screaming masses.
Blanco's goal was his team-leading fifth of the season, and made a positive memory of what was largely a bland meeting of the franchises for the 100th time, historically, through the NASL, USL and now MLS. The bitter rivals managed just 15 shots combined in the match, and only three were on target - each goalkeeper made just one save.
Jeff Attinella recorded his third-consecutive shutout for Portland.
Portland moved into a tie for fourth in the Western Converence at 14 points after having started the season with just two through five games. The Timbers are also one of four teams in the league without a loss at home, although only one has played fewer home games - DC United, which has played at home just twice in advance of opening a new stadium in two months.
The win was the first step in the Cascadia Cup, as well, between the teams.
Portland next plays host to FC Los Angeles, which is second in the West with 20 points and recently opened its own stadium near the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) Violations
Nolan Auerbach & White are experienced Pharmaceutical Fraud Lawyers helping courageous whistleblowers.
Current Good Manufacturing Practice ("CGMP"), explained in greater, but by no means sufficient, detail in regulations promulgated by the FDA, sets the minimum standards for drug manufacturers. Designed as a quality control measure to prevent super- and sub-potency, product mix-ups, contamination, and mislabeling, the CGMP regulations outline general rules for all aspects of drug manufacture including buildings and facilities, personnel, equipment, drug components and containers, production, packaging and labeling, and record-keeping. Failure to comply with CGMP regulations renders any resulting drug product "adulterated" and the drug product and its producer subject to regulatory action. See 21 C.F.R. Parts 210 and 211.
Good Manufacturing Practice Violations
Pharmaceutical and biotech companies are required to follow the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) in order to ensure that their products meet specific FDA requirements for purity, strength, stability and quality.
The cGMP regulations for drugs and biological products contain certain minimum requirements that must be met for the methods, facilities, and controls used in manufacturing, processing, and packaging.
The United States Civil False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, et seq., is the government's principle means of redressing fraud by government contractors. The Act has implications for Good Manufacturing Practice Violations (GMP violations) because the United States (funding as it does the Medicare program, the majority of state Medicaid programs, the Veterans Administration, the TRICARE program, and others) is the world's largest purchaser of prescription medications.
Qui tam whistleblowers, have already begun bringing additional such cases to the attention of the Government. Because the False Claims Act imposes liability on any government contractor which knowingly submits false claims to the United States or which uses false documents to get a false claim paid, a pharmaceutical manufacturer which knew or was recklessly indifferent to the fact that the manufacturing process was compromised by GMP violations is in the same position as any other contractor which is required to conform to contractual or regulatory standards. The basis of liability under the False Claims Act is that false records have been generated which caused (false) claims for drugs to be paid by the United States.2 The monetary damages result because the payor (in this case, the U.S.), is potentially paying for substandard drugs due to the GMP violations – later covered up by false statements in documents required to be completed under the GMP.
It makes sense, too – the GMPs are a set of regulations, which, by their very nature, are designed to ensure that drugs are manufactured in such a way that they meet the requirements of the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act as to safety and have the identity and strength and meet the purity characteristics that they purport or are represented to possess. The major federally-funded government healthcare programs, Medicare and Medicaid, operate under the express provisions that they will only pay for medical services and products that are "reasonable and necessary." Unsafe or ineffective drug products are neither reasonable nor necessary. Accordingly, as the theory goes, the United States suffers monetary damages if Medicare and Medicaid programs pay for unsafe or less effective products. These and other federally-funded healthcare programs spend billions of dollars every year on pharmaceuticals.
False representations concerning minor or technical violations will not be the basis for FCA liability. Distribution of products that are not totally GMP compliant (but have been falsely documented to be) do not necessarily result in unsafe (or sub-potent) products. The issuance of a substantial number of violations detailed in Form FDA 483 or also Warning Letter do not necessarily lead to FCA liability. Substantial violations of the GMP, later covered up in writing, however, could very well be the basis for FCA liability. False representations about compliance with 21 CFR 211.100, (failure to follow and/or document production and process control procedures) for example, could under some circumstances raise the issue. The common thread through each violation its that he violation is severe enough so that the drug product that finally reaches the public is foreseeably substantially less safe or less effective than if the GMPs were not violated.
On October 26, 2010, the United States Department of Justice announced the settlement of the first False Claims Act case predicated on cGMP violations. In this settlement, GlaxoSmithKline pled guilty and agreed to pay $750 million to resolve criminal and civil liability regarding manufacturing deficiencies at its Puerto Rico plant. According to the government, the company's manufacturing operations failed to ensure that its drugs were free of contamination from microorganisms. Moreover, the government alleged that the company's manufacturing process caused one of its two-layer tablet products to split, causing the potential distribution of tablets that did not have any therapeutic effect. Lastly, the government alleged that the plant was riddled with longstanding problems of product mix-ups, which caused tablets of one drug type and strength to be commingled with tablets of another drug type and/or strength in the same bottle.

Kathleen Hawkins, RN MSN, had been employed by Defendant, Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) for approximately 6 years when she decided she had had enough of trying to change the hospital system from within.
CHW, a California not-for-profit corporation that operated hospitals in California, Arizona, and Nevada, was at the time the eighth largest hospital system in the nation and the largest not-for-profit hospital provider in California.
Joe Strom
Joe Strom contacted us in 2005. We were very grateful that he did. We immediately formed an all-star legal team and a process to stop a very harmful pharmaceutical marketing strategy. It was this process we set into motion that ultimately returned hundreds of millions of dollars to the U.S. Treasury, and a portion of that, very well-deserved, into Joe's bank account.
Joe told us a very troubling story about the off-label promotion of a pharmaceutical drug for patients who already suffered from chronic heart failure.

A vendor-driven term often used to describe large quantities of rapidly changing data being collected from various sources.
There is no common definition of big data. Just as there is no common definition of the terms small data and medium data that appear in some literature.
It's important to remember that 'big data' can be closed, or shared with specific people or organisations, or licensed as open data.


1.) Ivan IV reigned over a period in Russian history where the growth of the central government was rapid and intrusive to local administrators. Was centralizing Russia a positive or negative idea?….regardless of whose in charge?
2.) What was the role of the Zemskii Sobor? The "Assembly of Land" took place centuries after Ivan IV, what does this reveal about Russian culture?
Mussolini: Master Propagandist or Savior of Italy?
The desire to make such historical comparisons is especially evident when examining the political systems of systems of Europe and the United States in the period surrounding World War II. Yoram Gorlizki and Hans Mommsen's article "The Political (Dis)Orders of Stalinism and National Socialism" and Wolfgang Schivelbusch's book Three New Deals make comparisons between the political systems of Hitler, Stalin and Roosevelt.


At least we get one more fantastic season of Schitt's Creek.
It's the end of an era, fellow fans of Schitt's Creek. Co-creators Daniel and Eugene Levy announced in a heartfelt message that the comedy will return in 2020 for a sixth and final season.
The duo are concluding it on their own terms with an ending they've always envisioned for the show.
Season 6, which will start shooting in a few weeks, will consist of 14 episodes.
Schitt's Creek found its footing over the last few years and is easily one of the best comedies on air right now. It stars father-son duo Dan and Eugene Levy, as well as Catherine O'Hara, Annie Murphy, Noah Reid, Emily Hampshire, and Chris Elliott.
Whatever will we do without Moira Rose's spectacular vocabulary or Alexis's "ew Davids?" How will my David and Patrick-loving heart ever survive? We'll find out next year.
Until then, Season 5 of Schitt's Creek is currently airing on Pop TV in the U.S. with the season finale set for April 10. Seasons 1-4 are streaming on Netflix.

It is not easy to build a custom website and then do the online marketing necessary to get exposure for your business. Rest assured, by choosing my services, I will give you the best web design, while making sure I find the most cost-effective web solutions for your business.

The ability for your website to adapt to all screen sizes and mobile devices is no longer a choice – it's an essential part of your online marketing strategy.

The New Doctors in Town
A warm welcome to the team at Q1 Medical who this week opened in the Lucas Shopping Centre, Coltman Plaza.
The four principal doctors are Dr Catherine Sloan, Dr Amir Maibody, Dr Nusrat Shah Naaz and Dr Mohammed Al Naima.
The clinic will help cater for the area of Lucas and surrounds and will also offer telehealth consultations for those at risk and living further afield.
Dr Mohammed Al Naima was interviewed this week by the Courier and had this to say about opening in Lucas. "We know this area is a growing area with a lot of families and that's why we are opening here, and why will be opening late until 7pm because a lot of families, and young skilled people who work, need to see a doctor and can't do that during office hours," he said.
"Telehealth is one of the recommended things from the government to provide health assessments for people at high risk, and especially for people who, for example, can't come in because they live in the country," he said. "Some conditions don't need a physical examination and ... we can treat locals in their own home."
Appointments can be made online here...

What is the best identity type for authentication of end users (K-12 and faculty)?
Federated or Enterprise IDs are the recommended identity types for institutions. For more details, see Adobe-supported identity types.
With Shared device licenses, do students still have to have Adobe IDs to use applications in a lab environment?
Yes. Students can have one of three ID types: Adobe ID, Enterprise ID or Federated ID. K-12 users must login with Enterprise or Federated IDs. See details of the Adobe supported identity types, in this document.
Can student or staff access Adobe apps and services at home via Shared device licensing?
No. Shared device licenses are not available for home use.
Can students be logged in to an unlimited number of lab computers over the semester? Or will they get any warnings to log off other computers when they log in?
Students can log in and out of unlimited lab computers. Shared device licensing only works on lab computers so they will not be able to use Shared Device Licenses outside the institution's lab.
For BYO and home use, students will need an individual entitlement.
Can I use a single email address to activate 300 computer units?
No. Each computer in your labs will need to be activated using a separate ID.
What if students do not have their own unique login?
They can either create their own free Adobe IDs in the sign-in page. Or the school can assign the Free Spark offer to them and they will receive a welcome email. After that, students will have a way to login to Creative Cloud.
Will the student be required to login to Adobe, after they have logged in to the computer operating system?
Currently, Adobe's SSO setup doesn't support passthrough authentication. Even if you have set up Federated identity, users will have to login to the computer and then re-enter their credentials when logging in to Creative Cloud.
If my institution uses Federated (SSO) logins, do the users have to login to applications every time they open one? Even for applications such as Acrobat Pro that are accessed by faculty and staff many times a day.
Yes. To use a Creative Cloud application, users will need to log in each time.
However, your staff can use Acrobat Pro as a reader. This does not require login.
Can we force a user to only be able to log in with a Federated ID?
Yes. You can set access policies to only allow Federated ID login. Read more about access policies, here.
Can our faculty log in with their personal Adobe IDs to access files they have stored in their Adobe storage?
Your IT department will need to determine whether or not they are allowed to do so on the lab computers.
Will students need to login to an application every time they need to use them?
Just one login to Creative Cloud will unlock access to all other apps.
Can Shared device licensing be applied to staff computers as well?
No. Shared device licenses are only available for labs and classrooms.
If Shared device licenses are only available for labs and classrooms, then what do we do for staff, since we can't use serialized installs anymore?
Staff and faculty will use Named User Licensing.
What happens to BYOD? Are students entitled to install apps on their device as members of an organization?
No, only lab machines are available for Shared Device License deployment. All other home and BYOD devices require a named-user product assignment. See this document for the Adobe-supported licensing methods.
I don't plan to give students licenses, so how do I activate the lab machines with Shared device licenses?
Share device licensing does not require you to assign students licenses. Students only need an Adobe ID, not an entitlement. See this article on how to create an Adobe ID.
How is the number of Device Licenses being determined for those currently using FTE w/rfee lab licenses?
The terms of your agreement remain the same so if you have full coverage of lab devices, that will continue with Shared device licenses.
How is the number of device licenses in our contract determined? Does this depend on the number of lab computers?
That is determined during the contract process. It depends on the contract of your institution with Adobe.
How do we determine the number of Shared device licenses our institution needs?
If you have been able to use serialized deployment for your lab computers, then those same lab computers can use Shared device licenses.
Is a license tied to a computer? If a computer needs a mid-semester re-image, will that computer require a new Shared Device License? Does the license need to be revoked or will it stay associated with that computer?
Once deployed, the shared device license is tied to the computer. If a computer is re-imaged, you just need to re-deploy the package to that computer.
If the hardware on a lab computer fails or we replace it, do we lose the license on that computer?
No. You only need to contact Adobe support and report the loss of that computer. Adobe support will adjust your license count.
Your contract determines how many lab or classroom machines are included.
What do we do with our current shared devices?
Shared devices are currently enabled with serial numbers. Unfortunately that means students do not have access to many of our latest apps.
You will need to migrate these licenses to Shared devices licenses and then deploy the new licenses on these devices. For details, see this document.
Wouldn't Egress IPs limit the licensed users ability to install on home computers?
At home, students and staff should use a Named User license. Shared device licenses are not available for home use.
Does the Egress IP entry field allow for CIDR notation?
The Egress IP notation only supports single IPs or dash-separated IP ranges. It does not support CIDR notation.
Will Creative Cloud Packager still work?
To create Shared device license packages, log into the Admin Console. Read this document for the details on how to do create Shared device license packages.
Can I prevent updates to CC applications by end users on the shared lab computers?
SDL packages are designed to prevent app updates by end users. Also, IT admins cannot change the setting.
Do all Creative Cloud 2019 apps support Shared Device licenses?

The Legendary Tiger Man is a one-man blues-rock band featuring Paulo Furtado, a Portuguese vocalist and multi-instrumentalist also affiliated with the bands WrayGunn and Tédio Boys. Born in Coimbra, Portugal, Furtado began his career in the late '80s as the guitarist and songwriter of the psychobilly band Tédio Boys. Prior to his departure at the end of the decade, the band released the albums Porkabilly Psychosis!!! (1994), Outer Space S**t! (1996), and Bad Trip (1998) and toured the United States. Furtado subsequently founded WrayGunn, a blues-rock band in which he played guitar and sang vocals alongside frontwoman Raquel Ralha. In association with the NorteSul label, WrayGunn made their album debut with Amateur (2000), followed by Soul Jam (2001), Ecclesiastes 1.11 (2005), and Shangri-La (2007). Meanwhile, Furtado founded the Legendary Tiger Man, a one-man blues-rock band in which he sang and played guitar and drums alone on-stage. In association with the Subotnick Enterprises label, he made his full-length album debut as the Legendary Tiger Man with Naked Blues (2001), followed by F**k Christmas, I Got the Blues (2003) and In Cold Blood (2004), the latter comprised of remixes. He subsequently switched to Rastilho Records and released his third album, the critically acclaimed Masquerade (2006). Following the success of that album and a tour in support of former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker, the Legendary Tiger Man moved to EMI for the release of his next album, Femina (2009). Featuring collaborations with a cast of female vocalists, Femina was a smash hit that reached the Top Five on the Portuguese albums chart. It spawned the singles "Life Ain't Enough for You" with Asia Argento, "These Boots Are Made for Walking" with Maria de Medeiros, and "Hey, Sister Ray" with Rita Redshoes.

Pam Duchene, Vice President of Education and Training at Harmony Healthcare International (HHI), interviews Janet Snipes, the Executive Director of Holly Heights Nursing Center (Colorado), in the 2018 AHCA Provider Lounge. Janet discusses the journey that led her facility to win the Gold Quality Award. The journey involved fine-tuning many processes and systems in order to improve overall performance. Not just limited to facility staff, the journey to Gold involved engaging residents and family members along the way. By working closely with her residents, Janet was able to reduce both falls and anti-psychotics. In the end, Janet advises facilities seeking Gold to do it for their community and not the award - and if you keep that in mind, you will reap the rewards regardless.

Do I Pay Taxes on All of an Inherited Annuity, or Just the Gain?
Annuities don't always follow the same rules as other assets.
Many people turn to annuities to take advantage of their tax benefits, as well as their unique ability to help hedge against the financial danger of outliving your money. Yet when an annuity owner passes away without ever having annuitized his or her policy to pay regular income, the person named as beneficiary has some key decisions to make.
In particular, unlike many other assets that one can inherit, annuities typically come with a built-in tax burden for an heir. Let's look more closely at how much you have to pay in taxes on an inherited annuity.
For most types of property, income taxes on an inheritance are quite simple. The typical case involves assets that are eligible for what's known as a step-up in tax basis to the date-of-death value of the inherited property, which effectively erases any built-in capital gains tax liability, and gives the heir a clean slate against which to measure future profits or losses.
Tax laws treat investments that are eligible for tax-favored status -- such as IRAs and annuities -- differently. For annuities, the key to taxation is how much the deceased person paid to purchase the annuity contract, and how much money the deceased person received from the annuity before death.
IRS Publication 575 says that, in general, those inheriting annuities pay taxes the same way that the original annuity owner would. In turn, taxation of annuity distributions depends on whether they started before or after the required starting date for payouts.
If you elect periodic distributions, then the portion of each payment that comes from accumulated earnings is taxable, while the portion that comes from the original premium payment is not. If you elect nonperiodic distributions, however, the IRS typically treats distributions as taxable earnings until they're used up, after which further payouts are treated as return of the original premium payment, and therefore not taxable.
Often, those inheriting an annuity choose a lump-sum payout. In that case, the taxation is much simpler. You'll pay tax on everything above the cost that the original annuity owner paid. The amount that represents the original premium payment is treated as tax basis, and therefore excluded from taxable income.
There is a special exception for those who are entitled to receive guaranteed payments under an annuity contract. In this case, you're allowed to treat the first money received as tax-free return of capital up to the amount that the deceased person paid for the annuity. Above that amount, payouts are taxable. This reverses the usual rule, and can be a big benefit for those inheriting an annuity.
Inheriting an annuity can be more complicated than receiving other property as an heir. By being aware of special rules, though, you can choose the least-taxed options available in taking the money that's been left to you.

Bertil Malmberg (Helsingborg, 22 d'abril de 1913 - Lund, 8 d'octubre de 1994) fou un foneticista, romanista i lingüista suec.

Malmberg va estudiar a les universitats de Lund, Grenoble (1933) i París (1937), on va ser influït per l'obra de Ferdinand de Saussure i els lingüistes de l'escola de Praga (Nikolai Trubetskoi i Roman Jakobson). Es va doctorar el 1940 a Lund amb una tesi que consistia en l'edició de Le roman du comte de Poitiers. Poème français du XIIIe siècle (Lund 1940). De 1950 a 1969 va ser catedràtic de la recentment creada càtedra de fonètica a Lund, i a partir de 1969 fou catedràtic de lingüística general a la mateixa universitat. El 1947 va fundar, junt amb Stig Wikander, la revista Studia Linguistica. Fou també coeditor de la International Review for Applied Linguistics (IRAL).

Malmberg fou nomenat doctor honoris causa per la Sorbonne i també membre de la legió d'honor. El 1994 va rebre el gran premi de l'acadèmia sueca de lletres (Vitterhetsakademin), el "Ann-Kersti och Håkan Swenssons pris", que és el major premi suec per a un estudiós de les humanitats,

Una part de la seva recerca es dedicà a la fonètica de l'espanyol. Fou autor de diversos manuals de fonètica i de lingüistica en general i molts d'ells han estat traduïts a diverses llengües (francès, anglès, espanyol).

Q: minimum of expected value let $X_k$ be the sequence of random variables.
Is it true that
$E[\min_{1\le k\le n}X_k]\ge \min_{1\le k\le n} E[X_k]$
provided that the left hand side exist?

A: No.
Take two uniform variables in $[-1,1]$. The minimum of the expectations is $0$, but the expectation of the minimum must be biased towards the negative.
Indeed, it is easy to show that the $\text{cdf}$ of the minimum is
$$\mathbb P(U+V\le x)=1-(1-\mathbb P(U\le x))(1-\mathbb P(V\le x))=1-\left(\frac{1-x}2\right)^2$$
giving the expectation
$$\int_{-1}^1 x\left(1-\left(\frac{1-x}2\right)^2\right)'dx=-\frac13.$$

10 Shakespearean Insults You Should Start Using In Real Life
By Shaun Fitzpatrick
When it comes to insults, no one does it quite like William Shakespeare. What, you thought all he did was write tragic romances and a lot of vaguely problematic comedies? Well, in between writing about dead lovers and women with terrible taste in men (fun fact, these two overlapped a lot), Shakespeare found time to write some really sick burns into his plays.
You might be thinking, "What good does any of this do me? It's not like I can use Shakespearean insults in my normal life." WRONG. SO WRONG. Not only can you use Shakespearean insults, but you should use them, and regularly. Will wrote some real zingers, and he's not afraid to hit below the belt. Plus, just think of how impressed (and confused) your enemies will be when you refer to them as a greasy tallow-catch. You can shut down a fight and sound super cultured at the same time! Or really crazy. Whatever.
Below are 10 of my favorite Shakespearean insults. A lot of them come from his comedies, but surprisingly his tragedies and even a few histories had some really snarky insults to choose from (Prince Hal and Falstaff are particularly imaginative with them). Try to work them into your fights with your siblings or significant other.
1. "For shame, thou hilding of a devilish spirit..."
— The Taming of the Shrew
I'm going to start exclusively referring to my sister as a "hilding of a devilish spirit" when I'm mad at her.
2. "If her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her, she would infect to the North Star."
— Much Ado About Nothing
That seems like a bit of an exaggeration, but I get where you're going with that.
3. "You, mistress, that have the office opposite to Saint Peter and keep the gate of hell!"
— Othello
AKA what you want to shout at your boss when you're having a bad day at work.
4. "Why, thou clay-brained guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou whoreson obscene greasy tallow-catch — "
— Henry IV, Part I
Only to be used when you're really, really mad at someone.
5. "A whoreson, beetle-headed, flap-eared knave."
— Taming of the Shrew
I don't know what it means to be beetle-headed, but it can't be good.
6. "I will sooner have a beard grow in the palm of my hand than he shall get one off his cheek."
— Henry IV, Part II
Ooooh, need some cream for that burn?
7. "I do bite my thumb, sir."
— Romeo and Juliet
Obviously you should actually bite your thumb as well to really drive home the insult.
8. "O villain, thy lips are scarce wiped since thou drunkest last."
Shakespearean for "you drunk bitch."
9. "Get thee to a nunnery."
— Hamlet
You know "nunnery" can also mean whorehouse, right? And while I don't condone slut-shaming anyone, please feel free to use this the next time your friend asks if her outfit is too risqué.
10. "He's a most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise-breaker, the owner of no one good quality..."
— All's Well That Ends Well
OK, but tell us how you really feel.

In the wake of the shocking declaration by DAP that Pakatan Rakyat (PR) has ceased to exist, DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang urged Malaysians to move forward as the primary challenge that lay in front was rekindling hopes of Malaysians through realignment of political forces.
"Let us move on, as there is no time to lose on polemics because what is relevant in the 14th general election is the alignment of political forces, even if there is no more PR.
"The declaration by DAP that Pakatan no longer exists is not an act of defeatism rather, we are recognising the reality that the future is buoyed by hope and confidence," he said in a media statement here today.
Lim agreed on PAS' Parit Buntar MP Datuk Mujahid Yusuf Rawa's statement who likened the current political scenario to a "rebirth".
Mujahid reportedly told the online portal Malaysiakini that "we need to die to reborn, to live anew".
The Gelang Patah MP further explained that the concept explained by Mujahid reflected on DAP Central Executive Committee's (CEC) declaration that PR has ceased to exist due to PAS' muktamar motion to sever ties with DAP and repeated violation of the PR Common Policy Framework.
Lim made the statement following DAP's secretary-general Lim Guan Eng's announcement this morning that the DAP CEC had unanimously resolved that the coalition no longer exists.
Guan Eng said the coalition has ceased to exist as the alliance was formed by three parties based on consensus but PAS in its 61st Muktamar had killed off Pakatan Rakyat.

About Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Though a short distance from the urban areas of Cleveland and Akron, Cuyahoga Valley National Park seems worlds away. The park is a refuge for native plants and wildlife and provides routes of discovery for visitors. The winding Cuyahoga River gives way to deep forests, rolling hills, and open farmlands. Walk or ride the Towpath Trail to follow the historic route of the Ohio & Erie Canal.
From Cuyahoga Valley National Park website
Warning: All areas of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park are prone to deer ticks from the early spring until late fall, so prepare accordingly before birding.
No restrooms at this location. Restrooms at locations identified on Cuyahoga Valley National Park map. Most areas have non-flush toilets; there are flush toilets available at the Pine Hollow parking lot on Quick Road and the Virginia Kendall Lake lodge building.

The Wind of Change: 35 years of Born Free
Act 4, BFF Anniversary, Born Free Initiatives, Virginia McKenna
35 years ago the first Apple Macintosh went on sale; beloved British comedian Tommy Cooper collapsed and died on stage; the Space Shuttle Discovery took off on its maiden voyage… and a small charity was launched to end the suffering of wild animals in captivity, and put animal wellbeing at the forefront of conservation.
Born Free Foundation — or Zoo Check as it was then known — laid its foundations among political unrest in the UK, miners' strikes, and human disease and starvation in Africa; which peaked with a global appeal from big-time celebrities of-the-day as they recorded a major charity single (Do They Know It's Christmas Time?), under the collective name; Band Aid.
Given that heart-wrenching scenes of famine in Ethiopia plagued the minds of the average citizen, along with strike-related violence and rising poverty in the former coal mining areas adding to personal unrest; inspiring the public to be concerned for the welfare of an elephant in a zoo or a lion in a circus — the very places where people took their families to escape from the worries of every day — seems like it must have been a near impossible task.
Pole Pole at London Zoo with Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna
I wasn't around in 1984, I'm a child of the '90s. But at the recent launch event of a new online welfare initiative 'Raise the Red Flag', Born Free CEO Howard Jones explained that "35 years ago Pole Pole the elephant died and the timing ignited a series of events that lead to the creation of the Born Free Foundation. Today, people, time and technology have all come together once more to produce results."
Born Free 35th Anniversary Gala
In one of the most beautiful evenings you can imagine, compassionate people, of all ages backgrounds and generations —all of whom have a passion for improving the lives of the voiceless with which we share this planet — came together to honour 35 years of compassionate conservation.
"The wind of change is blowing through the wildlife world…" was the quote from the late Bill Travers (star of the Born Free film and Co-Founder of the Born Free charity), which inspired the events' theme and optimism.
An optimism which one could not miss when standing in a room full of people striving for change on both a large scale (in terms of changing laws and tackling major issues on the ground), and in terms of caring for the suffering individual's needs.
The evening offered both celebration and poignancy; purpose and urgency to commemorate 35 years of the realisation of Virginia McKenna, Bill Travers and Will Travers' vision of creating a charity that acts as a force for good: thinking of every individual animal's suffering and striving to do something about it.
King the lion cub
It really was quite special, to consider King the lion cub (pictured above) — rescued from the illegal pet trade after being kept in an apartment in Paris where he was caged and beaten — alongside a lion cub featured in a gut-wrenching new animation that uncovers the truth behind volunteer outlets that allow cub cuddling (watch below).
A significant sum of money was raised, but so too was motivation, determination and a huge amount of resilience, drive and humility at the task that lies ahead.
They say 'it takes a village'; but behind Will, Virginia and Bill's vision of a respect and positive co-existence between humans and wildlife, I saw an army — a beautiful, compassionate, but fierce army, willing to stand strong for all wildlife that needs protecting.
Raise the Red Flag with Born Free
Equipped with all the right technology, tools, and talent, it feels like the wind of change is indeed blowing.
Between Born Free Foundation's new anti-poaching aircraft (the so-called autogyro 'dragons'), and their impressive new 'Raise the Red Flag' online reporting platform; it's clear that the future of conservation lies with strategic intervention and 'on the ground' action.
The beauty of this is; we can all do our bit.
Raise the Red Flag is an open-to-all platform created for submitting eyewitness reports about animals suffering in captivity. It aims to:
build an intelligence picture of what's happening around the world
engage us all with clear visibility of inadequate animal welfare facilities
inform us what we can do about it.
Born Free's beginnings are of course a big part of the 'zoo debate'. Ahead of their time perhaps; Virginia, Will and Bill saw and understood the suffering that captivity can inflict on wild animals, and felt a passion to end it.
Before Blackfish taught us that orca can turn aggressive when confined to tanks, they told us that elephants were becoming depressed in small enclosures.
I'm sure that in the future, when we look back on these wildlife entertainment facilities in the same way we recoil at visions of animals in the colosseum, we'll understand why the passion for change blustered up at that moment.
As Born Free CEO Howard noted at Raise the Red Flag's launch; "We wouldn't have got here without our founders", and it is surely true that together, we can heed the call.
The wind of change is blowing through the wildlife world. Will you travel with it?

Land use dispute: The impact of a $100 million condominium complex
Client: Yale Properties International, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Summary: Media and strategic consulting to help resolve, in Yale's favor, a long-term public dispute over its proposal for $100 million condominium tower
Result: Victory – in the public dispute, and in achieving an out-of-court settlement against those who incited the propaganda campaign
Yale recruited me to help solve the problem
The presentation I created
Yale Properties International, a south Florida developer of upscale residential communities, wished to create "L'Ambiance Beach" ("LAB"), a 143-unit, $100 million condominium complex, on Ft. Lauderdale's last available oceanfront property (at the north end of the Galt Ocean Mile, below). YPI worked for approximately eighteen months with the neighboring buildings' homeowners associations ("HOAs") to ensure the design of LAB would be neighbor-friendly, and in conformity with all laws.
The Galt Ocean Mile in Ft. Lauderdale. The last available parcel of develop-able beachfront property was located at the north end of this strip of condo towers.
At the last minute, however, the boards of directors of the HOAs launched a fierce public opposition campaign against Yale, claiming that LAB:
Was in violation of legal provisions
Would obstruct their ocean views
Would cause a negative impact to their property values and lifestyles
The HOAs also claimed that an "as-of-right" building, which would be approximately the same size, shape and position on the site as neighboring buildings, would be a superior alternative.
Although all of these claims were demonstrably untrue, the elected officials comprising the Ft. Lauderdale City Commission bowed to the pressure and propaganda of these affluent, politically-influential HOAs, by repeatedly rejecting Yale's construction permits, for more than two years. (It wasn't discovered until later, during the final hearings – and with the aid of the presentation that I developed for Yale – that the HOA boards of directors had been unsuccessfully attempting to extract money from the developer.)
Through an unusual combination of circumstances, I happened to meet the Yale president, and expressed my views as to why this dispute kept going on – and what would be required to help resolve it, in his favor. Against the advice of his counsel (as I had no experience in land use or legal matters), he retained me to provide Yale with a complete assessment of its situation, and make recommendations for improvement.
I began by analyzing Yale's situation and all the media it had employed concerning this project, and was then tutored on the basics of local land use laws & zoning regulations.
My analysis and "crash course" in the specifics led me to two conclusions:
That the principles of the dispute were simple enough for a child to understand – if it was explained properly to her, with high-end visual media.
That the most serious hindrance to Yale was that its team of attorneys, architects, engineers and public relations people had been waging this battle using (a) verbal and written media, and (b) overly-complicated blueprints and technical diagrams (example at right)
I recommended the following to Yale:
Creating extremely simple graphic "standards" showing the site under different development scenarios, to demonstrate why the this proposal would be the best alternative, regarding the rational interests of the neighboring homeowners associations
Obtaining photographic evidence that would support Yale's positions and assertions
Integrating these materials into graphics and visualizations that would contain all the vital technical information to refute each of the erroneous charges being made by LAB's opponents, but would be simple enough for a layperson to grasp, and retain in his memory.
The first task I defined, and completed, was to take the only aerial picture of the area, and turn it into an emulated three-dimensional depiction of the various buildings that could be constructed on the property in dispute. This proved to be among the most contentious single elements of the resulting presentation – because it was the first time anyone had seen an easy-to-understand depiction of the reality, which obliterated the lies and myths that had been propagated about it:
This illustration was the first time the proposed $100 million condominium tower had ever been seen in 3D, positioned on the site, in scale and relationship to neighboring buildings.
RESULT 1: With the aid of the presentation I created, and making certain concessions, Yale was granted its construction permits for LAB. Yale credited my work with having a major impact in this long-sought victory (see letter here):
"Given the current anti-development climate, Yale and companies like it have, by necessity, engaged a variety of external specialists to make sure our projects are presented accurately, and in the most favorable light.
"[J]on has provided a variety of consulting services to Yale, primarily related to the design and development of overall strategic planning as well as graphics and copy used in our presentations to governmental agencies and the general public. [Jon's] unique combination of creative research, analytical writing, graphic design and presentation development skills were successfully utilized in our communications programs, in achieving the governmental approvals we sought.
"Jon's innovation, attention to detail, and ability to digest extremely complex/abstract legal provisions, concepts and arguments, and translate them into clear, impactive visualizations, were integral parts of our presentations."
– Morris Richter, President, Yale Properties International
RESULT 2: Yale sued the HOAs, and won an out-of-court settlement, thanks in part to a supplemental presentation I created.
Note: Based on the success of my work, Yale retained me to consult on an additional project: researching and developing litigation media to support its multimillion dollar breach-of-contract lawsuit against the neighboring HOAs.
The only media provided to me that ended up in the following presentation was one aerial photograph of the site (see top of this page), and several technical illustrations. All other media was designed and created by me, in the course of this work.
PART 1: Establishing the first 3D visuals of LAB's size and positioning on site, and its proximity to neighboring buildings — as contrasted to other suggested designs.
Note that on page 3 is Yale's letter of recommendation regarding my impact on this dispute; on page 5 is an example of the "overly-complicated" technical diagram mentioned earlier:
PART 2: Establishing a simple graphical "standard" atop which to build the truth of the matter.
The following graphics establish the fact that whereas LAB as proposed will preserve the neighboring HOAs' ocean views (upon which most of the value of their condos are based), either of the alternatives that the HOAs claim they want will dramatically decrease their ocean views:

PART 3: Debunking the rest of the lies that the HOAs were telling about LAB.
The following graphics explode the myth that LAB was "out of scale" to neighboring buildings, and would be far closer to them than was the standard (one HOA official testified, under oath, that they'd be so close that residents on the balcony of his building could reach over and shake hands with neighbors in LAB, on their balcony).
CONCLUSION: Closing Summary — demolishing the HOA's key propaganda points.
