When you upload your file to Viostream this file is sent to our servers. After it's received, the servers need to transcode and process this video, so it can be displayed on Viostream. Video processing takes time and significantly more resources than most other computer tasks. If there are more video uploaded then our servers can process, then the video will be queued and it will automatically start the transcoding process as soon as there are available resources.


I was working today and didn't see cute Tenz very much...and when I did see him, I set him on the couch (way back) to make him a bottle and he ROLLED off the edge! UGH! Luckily, there was a pillow and a large blanket right there and he wasn't hurt. But he was scared and cried a real and genuine cry. Poor baby. He settled down fairly quickly and has no marks or anything...but still. Awful, awful occurance. Now, he can roll and we have proof! He has been working on rolling over and when he gets momentum he doesn't stop, which is obviously what happened. Our couch is a little sloped and he just used that to take a tumble. The pictures of him alone were taken after the fall, so you can see he is still a happy baby. The other 2 are with cousin Sabrina who calls him Tintin and says she loves him everyday. Cute, cute, cute!


As you may know, YOYO won the first prize in the pich event of NEW ECONOMY SUMMIT 2015.
The link may help you to know what the event is.
Today, the trophy has come to our office finally.
The trophy had been kept somewhere in Tokyo, actually. Then one our co-worker @barakiyo carried it from Japan to Manila.
Let me show you the trophy with recent @kyon.


I just wanted to thank you again for a fantastic KvN conference! From what I hear it was number ten in a long line of fantastic affairs and they keep getting better.
I could tell that you put in a huge effort to craft this conference into a great experience for the participants. While I appreciated your focus on punctuality, I know it wasn't easy for you :). The facility and setting were boh perfect. Thank you again for doing this for all of us... "We are all responsible for the other" as the say ! I hope I'll see you next year, if not before.

Ukrenergo Review 27 April – 3 May
#General news
Holidays or not, Ukrenergo Review is right on time! Last week was a generous one in exciting news of the power industry.
In particular, minerals for low carbon technologies will be mined in an environmentally friendly way, while in Switzerland, they created a smart device to produce high volumes of pure hydrogen, and the market for electricity accumulation may exceed $13 billion by 2023. Read more in the next issue of the weekly digest.
The British are creating a "local energy market"
The British energy company Centrica is testing a new Local Energy Market project with combined use of solar panels, energy storage, blockchain software, combined heat and power generation, and energy efficiency monitoring.
The project was deemed feasible due to the limited network capacity and large RES generation in the Cornwall county. In order to overcome these obstacles and ensure RES integration into the grid, significant investments are required in modernising the infrastructure. Instead, Centrica has proposed a more flexible approach to address this issue, Current News reports.
The company is proposing to combine several technologies simultaneously. In addition to solar-plus-storage, the project is using cogeneration units (CHP). CHP plants generate electricity using heat, which is usually expended in conventional generation. CHP systems developed by Centrica Business Solutions can achieve around 90% efficiency and reduce carbon emissions by about 70 tons per year.
For greater convenience, the company suggests using a specially created platform (software) for electricity purchase and sale transactions.
Another solution offered by the company to ensure the security of supply is using gas in the winter months, when RES generation is rather low.
Also, for more energy efficiency, the company uses special monitoring devices. Centrica collects and analyses data on energy saving, frequency of storage devices and frequency of their use. These data are also available to customers through the corresponding app.
Switzerland creates a device for pure hydrogen production with 17% efficiency
Scientists from the Renewable Energy and Engineering Laboratory of the Polytechnic Institute in Lausanne, Switzerland, have created a smart device capable of generating significant volumes of pure hydrogen. By concentrating the sunlight, the device consumes a smaller amount of rare, expensive materials required in hydrogen production. Combined with the intelligent thermal control, such installation is capable of 17% efficiency. Moreover, this technology takes into account the stochastic dynamics of solar energy.
According to the design of the device, a thin layer of water passes through a solar cell to cool it down. In this way, the temperature in the system remains relatively low, allowing the solar cell to deliver better performance. At the same time, heated water improves the chemical reaction of catalysts and increases the rate of hydrogen production, reports Science Daily.
The device is currently being testing outdoors. The research team installed a parabolic mirror 7 m in diameter, which increases the concentration of solar radiation 1000 times and sets the device into action.
According to the scientists' preliminary estimations, their system can work more than 30 000 hours (or almost four years) without any replacement of parts, and up to 20 years, if certain parts are replaced every four years. In sunny weather, the system can generate up to 1 kilogram of hydrogen per day, sufficient to fuel a car with a hydrogen engine, to cover the distance of 100 to 150 km.
Market of battery storage to surpass $13 billion by 2023
According to the analyst GlobalData, the market for battery storage will increase by 7% worldwide over the next four years, reaching a total value of over $13 billion.
The main drivers for such a development are lower production costs and the growing pace of development of the energy market, leading to greater demand for lithium-ion batteries.
The company's report states that the Asia-Pacific region has become the leader over the past year, accounting for 45% of the global installed capacity. As the region's countries are actively improving the network infrastructure and changing the market structure to attract foreign investment, it is set to maintain its top position and reach $6 bn by 2023.
At the same time, the US electricity market is projected to reach $2.96 billion by 2023, accounting for 23% of the global market, according to GlobalData, pointing out that the United States have been the largest market for battery storage systems, both in terms of total installed capacity, and the market value for projects set up until 2018, and only last year ceded the top spot to the Pacific.
Minerals for low carbon tech to be mined in environmentally favourable way
The World Bank has set up a fund that will promote the sustainable extraction and processing of minerals and metals used in low carbon technologies: wind and solar generation, the manufacture of batteries for e-vehicles and accumulators for electricity storage.
According to Energy Live News, the new fund with total investment of $50 million will work in four main areas: mitigating climate change, adaptation to climate change; reducing the cost of materials and creating market opportunities that contribute to decarbonising and reducing costs throughout the entire mining and supply chain of minerals needed for smart technologies.
It is expected that the global demand for strategic minerals such as lithium, graphite and nickel will have a sharp increase by 965%, 383% and 108%, respectively, by 2050.
The fund will work with developing countries as well as with those with a full-fledged market economy. The fund collaborates, among others, with the German government and Rio Tinto Group, a transnational mining corporation, as well as Anglo American, the finance holding company from South Africa.
Priority projects to be covered by the fund include initiatives for RES in mining, prevention of deforestation, repurposing of mines, and re-use of minerals.
Riccardo Puliti, Senior Director and Head of the Energy and Extractives Global Practice in the World Bank, stated: "Developing countries can play a leading role in the energy transition: to extract the vital minerals in a way so as to take into account the interests of communities, ecosystems and the environment."
Electric vehicles to provide balancing of microgrids and virtual power plants
The research conducted by the consultancy Navigant, demonstrates that the growth of the number of electric vehicles is creating both challenges and new opportunities for the power grids. On the one hand, they impose additional load on the network. However, on the other hand, electric cars can be useful when applying new business models and their platforms, such as microgrids and virtual power plants.
Integrating electric vehicles into the grid allows their participation in balancing the network, as they both consume electricity while charging, and supply it back to the network.
In the study, Navigant's experts are considering energy-saving potential when using electric vehicles, demonstrating global implementation of the use of electric vehicles for distributed generation of energy for microwave and virtual power plants and defining the implementation of market-based capabilities that have been introduced for implementation.
The study also recommends that participants in virtual power plants apply artificial intelligence technologies, support market reforms and seek opportunities in the market for distributed energy management systems, Smart Energy reports. At the same time, microgrid stakeholders should focus on the possibility of plugging electric vehicles to stationary batteries.

The latest from EWG's staff of experts
No Safety Standard for Cosmetics
The New York Times gets it wrong in an otherwise nice article about organic labeling of health and beauty products. Synthetic ingredients used in cosmetics are generally considered safe. The Food and Drug Administration requires that cosmetics makers make sure that their products are safe.
Chemical Policy (TSCA)
Supermarkets Post Mercury Warnings
Safeway and Albertsons grocery chains have new additions to the seafood counter signs warning consumers of health concerns associated with consuming fish with high levels of mercury. The signs are voluntary, but mention primarily swordfish, tilefish, king mackerel and shark, largely ignoring tuna.
Home Antibacterials Raise FDA Concerns
An FDA panel is examining possible health concerns associated with antibacterial soaps, wipes and other household products. The market is booming for these germ-killers, but home use might be creating strains resistant to both antibacterials and antibiotics. This is of particular concern to families with children, as it presents the double-edged sword of exposing children to surviving super-germs, or, on the other hand, overprotecting them in a squeaky-clean environment that prevents them from building immunity, which can lead to asthma or allergies later in life.
Gov't Eliminates Drilling Reviews
The Bush administration continues to combat the country's energy problems with industry giveaways, now allowing oil and gas drilling permits on public lands to be issued without environmental reviews or citizen comment.
Oil and Gas Sites Costing Colo. Communities
Construction on 9,500 new oil and gas wells in western Colorado is creating erosion and runoff that's clogging towns' irrigation systems and raising cleanup costs.
Fluoride Concerns Gain Momentum
Grassroots opposition to proposals to fluoridate water supplies across the country are gathering community and state-level attention and support, a new piece in TIME Magazine shows.
Many baby and young children's products like teething rings, plastic and plush toys, clothing, and personal care products contain phthalates and fire retardants, a new study shows.
French Resistance: Underground Group Takes on Paris SUVs
The LA Times has a funny piece about a band of subversive Parisian jokers terrorizing the SUV-driving population with deflated tires and mud-smeared windows.
Schwarzenegger Vetoes Biomonitoring Bill
Using a line straight from the chemical industry's playbook, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a bill that would have established the nation's first state biomonitoring program last weekend.
Forest Service Fires Pesticide Whistleblower
The U.S. Forest Service has fired a 40-year employee after he filed a whistleblower complaint related to misuse of pesticides across several forests in Arizona and New Mexico. He said he was fired him because the Forest Service doesn't want controls over its pesticide use in public areas.
Are States Rebelling?
An October 6 investigation by the Christian Science Monitor finds that 27 states are taking the lead on environmental protection issues in cases where they feel the federal government is either acting wrongly, slowly or not at all. Will this trend become the norm?
W.R. Grace Asbestos Threatens Dallas Community
W.R. Grace strikes again, the Dallas Morning News reports, with news that up to 450 employees of the company's West Dallas plant and their families are at risk from asbestos-related illnesses.
San Francisco Considers Mercury Warnings for Seafood
San Francisco officials are looking at a proposal requiring trilingual signs in restaurants, stores and markets warning consumers of mercury in their fish. Mercury can cause neurological and developmental problems, with pregnant mothers, infants and children most at risk.
Pollution Decreasing Male Births?
Environmental Health Perspectives examines the possible connection between a startlingly low male birth rate and industrial pollution among a population of Native Americans in Ontario living right next to one of Canada's largest concentrations of chemical plants. The area is heavily polluted with PCBs, phthalates and dioxins, all known endocrine disruptors.
Phthalates
Fla. Chemical Maker Drops Pesticides Linked to Birth Defects
Ag-Mart Produce, the giant Florida tomato grower, is eliminating the use of some pesticides linked to birth defects following a lawsuit involving three seriously deformed babies born to field workers.
Utah Hunters Warned of Mercury in Duck
Just before hunting season opens in Utah, state officials are warning hunters not to eat two types of ducks that feed on Great Salt Lake marhes because tests on the animals show dangerous levels of mercury in their flesh.
New Study Will Examine Link Between Environment, Disease
The National Institutes of Health are launching a study that will follow 100,000 American children from birth to adulthood in the hopes of pinning down possible environmental causes of many common diseases.
Washington Begins Biomonitoring Program
The Washington State Toxics Coalition and the Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition have started body burden testing on 10 people in the Puget Sound area, looking for pesticides, heavy metals, PCBs, fire retardants, phthalates and other toxics in their subjects' bodies.
Coastal Women Have Highest Mercury Levels
The Washington Post's Juliet Eilperin reports on a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study that shows that U.S. women living near a coast have higher levels than women living inland.
Bush: Carpooling, Less Driving "Helpful"
The New York Times has the article, but since they buried the lead, head over to Washington Monthly for the real story on Bush's speech - lip service to conservation efforts while Congress puts its muscle into more drilling.


The reality is that fairly a lot anybody can contract Lyme illness. Any grassy or wooded area can have tiny ticks, which are carriers of the illness. In most instances of Lyme disease, the person infected is unaware they have been bitten so the chalk up their symptoms to considering they have an additional disorder. Do you know which symptoms are associated with the different phases of this disease? We have compiled some of the more typical symptoms to keep an eye out for.
If a tick does chunk you, then get it out of your physique as quickly as possible, and if it's most likely that it's been on you for lengthier than a working day follow the actions I listed over.
Your canine's temperature should not be more than 102 levels Fahrenheit or 39 Celsius. A fever in your canine is an illness symptom and ought to be tended to instantly, especially if there are other symptoms accompanying it. Fever is current in numerous canine diseases such as deadly canine Parvo virus, energy healing rife machine, pneumonia, and other infectious diseases. Numerous owners of Big Dogs will frequently treat a dog's fever with human aspirin. This is only recommended after you've discussed it with the veterinarian. This is not suggested for little dogs. You should by no means give your dog Tylenol or Motrin or the generic equivalents.
Honestly, it wasn't that bad, until she began obtaining better and my spouse began obtaining sick. He experienced chicken pox as a kid. He experienced a scar on his nose from having them as a kid, so when he initial got sick, we didn't believe it was rooster pox. He had a higher fever and no visible pox. I thought he experienced a bad stomach flu or maybe strep throat. When I known as the doctor's office, they had me bring him in via the rash hall, just in case, because my daughter experienced lately had rooster pox.
If you do find a difficult bump, unfold your dog's fur apart in that region and examine it. If the bump turns out to be an insect that has 8 legs, it could well be a tick. And the sooner you properly eliminate a tick from your canine, the much better. You most likely gained't see its head because a tick buries it into the host its presently feeding on.
Parasite Manage. This means inner and exterior parasites. Inner parasites include intestinal worms and heartworms. Intestinal worms can trigger diarrhea, excess weight loss, a bad coat and even anemia, so you need to worm him regularly. Heartworm can trigger heart failure and lung illness, and can be fatal. Your vet will be able to advise you on whether or not heartworm is common in your region, and how to prevent it.
So, when you communicate, speak of wellness. Do NOT speak of your illness, no make a difference what. When you move, move with grace. And when you pray, know that you are heard. Because all of us are a component of Supply Energy. And we all have the power to mend ourselves, to live nicely and to let go of the pain. It is our BIRTHRIGHT.

Govia Thameslink Railway
London Bridge redevelopment means bank holiday rail changes
Charing Cross, Waterloo East and Cannon Street stations will all be closed this over the August bank holiday weekend, while London Bridge will be partially shut
London Bridge redevelopment works in progress in July 2015
Bank holiday rail services will face significant disruption at the weekend due to a raft of London railway station closures, including London Bridge.
Charing Cross, Waterloo East and Cannon Street stations will all be closed over the bank holiday weekend (August 29-31) for planned maintenance work.
There will also be a partial closure in place at London Bridge station.
Southeastern trains will be diverted to other London terminals, while some metro services will be replaced by buses.
Works over the weekend will pave the way for a major improvement programme, which is due to get under way next year.
The government-sponsored Thameslink Programme is currently rebuilding London Bridge station, platform by platform.
As a result, Charing Cross trains have been unable to stop there since last year while those platforms are rebuilt.
In August next year, platforms used by Cannon Street trains will be rebuilt, whereby services will begin running through without stopping until the station is completed in 2018.
There will be multiple station closures over the August bank holiday weekend (Image: Thameslink/Network Rail)
Mark Somers, Thameslink Programme rail systems project director, said: "This bank holiday is an important one for us as the work we are doing will pave the way for some major changes in January and August next year.
"We are untangling the tracks at London Bridge to reduce delays and increase the number of services that can travel through the station from 2018.
"It's a massive job and we appreciate the public's understanding while we do this."
Alterations to track and signalling systems near London Bridge mean that from Saturday to Bank Holiday Monday, Southeastern services will not call at London Bridge, except for trains to and from Hastings.
Services will be diverted to either London Victoria or London Blackfriars with some trains starting and finishing at New Cross.
Over the bank holiday, Network Rail will be installing new tracks on the line towards Waterloo East that will carry trains onto the new Borough Market viaduct from January 2016.
All this work means that in August next year, Charing Cross trains will once again call at London Bridge using the new platforms and the first part of the new concourse will also be opened.
Platforms one to three will then be closed and rebuilding work will get under way on the platforms used by Cannon Street trains as they run fast through London Bridge until December 2017.
Redevelopment of London Bridge station (Image: Thameslink Programme)
Southern and Thameslink trains into London Bridge will not be affected by the work this bank holiday, although there are some engineering projects elsewhere in the region near Balham and Pulborough.
The gradual nature of the station's rebuilding means Thameslink Programme engineers have had to move the railway tracks and signalling around with every milestone.
Every public holiday and even some weekends have seen different sections of the layout reconstructed in time for commuters to go to work on the Monday morning.
Southeastern's managing director David Statham added: "The major rebuilding work being undertaken by Network Rail at London Bridge will mean some of our services are affected over the August bank holiday.
"We have advice for passengers on our website and would encourage people to check before they travel and to leave more time for their journey where necessary."
Guildford's North Street regeneration scheme could start next year
GuildfordThe main bus station would move from Commercial Road to Leapale Road

Q: MeanIO's swig template engine does not render the angular ng-model data I use the meanIO's recommended module 'swig' for template engine. But I could not be suceessful in getting angular basic data binding.
Below setting in express server on NodeJS Platform :
 app.engine('html', consolidate[config.templateEngine]);
 app.set('view engine', 'html');
  app.get('/', function(req,res){
    var values = {
        appName : config.appname
    }

    res.render('page1');
    //res.redirect('/login');
});

The above setting doesnt render the actual angular model on filling the textbox.
    index.Html

  Name:
  <input type="text" ng-model="yourName" placeholder="Enter a name here">

Hello {{yourName}}!

Where as the below settings works very fine to me .
app.engine('html', require('ejs').renderFile); // to render html files in response
app.set('view engine', 'html');

What is the problem with swig module not rendering the ng-model data inside {{}} ???

A: Change the default varControls in Swig to not be the exact same thing that Angular uses. They are colliding. http://paularmstrong.github.io/swig/docs/api/#SwigOpts
var swig = require('swig');
swig.setDefaults({ varControls: ['<%=', '%>'] }); // or anything besides ['{{', '}}']

A: I never tried swig myself, but what you need is an alternative to Django's verbatim tag in swig, which ignores any {{ }} or {% %} in the template and letting angularjs do the work on the client side. By this closed GitHub issue of swig project, you should wrap your angularjs block in the template with {% raw %}.
I couldn't find more detailed documentation but I hope it gives you a general direction of what you need in order to prevent collisions between swig's syntax and angularjs' syntax.

A: you can also modify the default render behaviour of angular app as by including following script block

If you are suspicious that your injury or your baby's injury was the result of someone's fault, please call our attorneys so that we can answer your questions. Birth injury cases can be complicated, and you need someone with experience to answer your questions.
A wide range of mistakes can cause birth injuries. They can range from use of excessive force while delivering the baby to a delay in performing a C-section. For injuries affecting the baby, the most common are oxygen deprivation and miscalculation of the size of the baby. Also, injuries could just be the result of carelessness or lack of training.
Doctors, nurses, or anyone involved in the natal care can be held liable. They must provide a certain standard of care, and that standard is based on the skill and care that a qualified professional will do in the same circumstances. If the care they provide falls below this level, they can be held liable for the birth injury. The earlier you bring your case, the easier it is to determine liability, so please call our experienced attorneys so that we can help you evaluate your case and answer any of your questions.
Aside from determining which parties are liable, determining how much time you have to bring a case can be complicated depending on certain facts. Birth injury cases are different in that the time you have to file depends on who the victim is and the type of injury. Thus, it is important that you call our attorneys to help you evaluate your case and determine when you should file. If you wait until the statute of limitations has expired, a court may not hear your case even if it is strong.
Calling an attorney early in the process is also important because with birth injuries investigations rely heavily on facts, and the more time passes, the harder it is to prove liability. This is because during a birth there is always a chance of naturally-occurring harms mixed with the chance that the injury resulted from negligence. Thus, time is of the essence.
In addition to past, present, and future medical expenses, injury victims can recover for pain and suffering as well. The costs of caring for a child in the future is also recoverable. For stillbirths and miscarriages, the law is more complicated, so it is important that you consult an attorney to have these questions answered.
Bringing an action for birth injuries is a complex process. The time that you are allowed to file a claim and what you can recover depends on a host of issues that only an experienced personal injury lawyer can answer. We have over 40 years of combined experience and are ready to aggressively and diligently represent you in your claim. Suffering from a birth injury or seeing your child suffer from a preventable mistake is extremely difficult. It is our job to treat you with the respect and sensitivity that you deserve in your time of need. Call us today at 866-733-2720 for a free consultation.

The news this past weekend emerging from my fair city, Chicago, felt like news about wildfires sweeping across California: the sudden, hellish karma of climate change, that is to say, the gradual collapse of life-sustaining conditions on Planet Earth thanks to centuries of cluelessly exploitative human activity.
The news from Chicago was, of course, about gun violence: at least 74 people shot between Friday afternoon and Monday morning in a slew of unconnected incidents, including shots fired into large gatherings of people (at a funeral, at a block party). Eleven people were killed, including, in separate incidents, two 17-year-olds. An 11-year-old boy was among the injured.
Figuring in the totals from the weekend, so far this year the city has racked up more than 300 homicides, according to the Chicago Tribune. Something, as we all know, is out of control, in this city, across the country . . . and across the planet.
I would extend this need for stewardship, this need to transform social values, beyond the biosphere.
For instance, as a report released last year by the Chicago-based Heartland Alliance points out: "Chicago is currently facing a devastating surge in lethal violence in addition to staggering rates of poverty across Illinois. Policymakers and community leaders are struggling with finding short- and long-term solutions to stem the violence and allow neighborhoods to heal. In the meantime, communities are fearing for their own safety and grieving over lost parents, children, friends, and leaders every day. The stakes for getting the solutions right could not be higher.
And this just gets at one corner of the problem – the inadequacy of our social stewardship. Poverty, you might say, creates spiritual wildfires. And the last time this country waged a "war on poverty," it was also waging a war in Vietnam – inflicting unfathomable violence on the other side of the planet in what ultimately was a lost cause from every point of view except that of the war profiteers. The war profiteers won: More wars would come soon enough, but continuing to invest in the elimination of poverty was just too . . . uh, expensive.
So, we've chosen, over the last half century, to perpetuate violence rather than take a complex, value-transforming stand against, or beyond, it.
This is ironic indeed, considering that we haven't actually "won" any of the wars we've fought since the alleged Good War. Apparently winning is beside the point, even though all participants focus on it. War is the ultimate feedback loop: You define yourself by defining your enemy, then you kill the enemy, who now has no choice but to see you as the enemy and kills back. No one wins except war itself, which goes on and on and on.
A few weeks ago, the U.S. House of Representatives passed its version of the 2019 National Defense AuthorizationAct, approving a military budget of $717 billion, up a hundred billion from last year. And the real military budget is closer to a trillion dollars, when CIA and National Security Agency spending, among other things, is figured in.
We bomb civilians, killing them by the thousands, by the millions, to fight wars we do not win – because winning is not the point, or even possible.

Bacardi Appoints New Global Legal Counsel
Todd Grice.
Bacardi Limited has announced the appointment of Todd Grice as Senior Vice President and General Counsel.
Grice brings 25 years of legal practice to Bacardi, including the last 18 with The Coca-Cola Company, with business and legal expertise in corporate governance, competition law, securities law, intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions and commercial transactions.
This appointment follows the long-planned retirement of Eduardo Sanchez, who served as the company's SVP and General Counsel for 17 years.
Grice will report to Chief Executive Officer Mahesh Madhavan, and joins the company's Global Leadership Team. At Bacardi, Grice will be responsible for legal and government affairs including legal strategy, governance and compliance, strategic transactions and dispute resolution and regulatory matters.
"We are so pleased to welcome Todd to Bacardi and look forward to his contributions to our long-term strategy and to our ongoing efforts to strengthen our unique Bacardi culture," says Madhavan. "From the beginning, we were impressed with his passion for developing teams and his commitment to being a positive and purposeful business leader and partner."
"Todd understands and appreciates how legacy brands, like our 158-year-old business, maintain relevance and connection generation after generation while always staying true to who you are and what you stand for," Madhavan adds.
Grice brings a global perspective, the company says, with international, regional and country-level experience in emerging and mature markets. His career at Coca-Cola took him to market and functional roles based in London, Tokyo, Shanghai, Atlanta, along with a board leadership role for the business in Africa.
"I've always admired the global, premium brands under the Bacardi company and have such a strong regard for how a family-owned business maintains a passion for its people, its business and its brands while spanning decades of industry leadership," says Grice. "I'm excited to join Bacardi and its legacy of a people-first culture, innovative thinking, and a commitment to growth, all while never losing sight of doing the right thing."
Grice will relocate to Bermuda pending authorization by the Bermuda Immigration Authority.

The school district will house its transportation and technology departments, as well as the Eagle Valley High School auto shop program in the former Integra auto location. Red Canyon High School's west campus will be across the street. Integra moved to 101 Airpark Drive, Gypsum.
Information: The agenda includes an item giving the school district staff permission to complete the sale for a new Red Canyon High School west campus. Go to eagleschools.net.
GYPSUM — One of the school district's alternative high school campuses may soon have a permanent home.
Red Canyon High School's west campus will move from downtown Eagle to a new site across the street from the former Integra auto center in Gypsum.
It's all part of $144 million ($233 million with interest) in voter-approved projects to rebuild and remodel school facilities up and down the valley.
Red Canyon High School's west campus has been in a former Colorado Mountain College building on Broadway in Eagle for the past several years. The Red Canyon east campus is in the Freedom Park complex in Edwards.
Under the bond plan, the school district was going to add a second story to the former Integra automotive building along Highway 6 between Gypsum and Eagle, and put Red Canyon's west campus there.
That building was originally a Ford dealership, then a motorcycle dealership and then the Integra auto repair business.
The school district bought it, and the business moved to 101 Airpark Drive.
The district had planned to put it's bus and transportation department, technology department, Eagle Valley High School's auto shop program, and Red Canyon High School's west campus there.
That turned out to be too much and too expensive, so district officials cast their eyes across the street to an undeveloped lot in Gypsum's Airpark commercial and industrial project.
When school district Chief Operating Officer Sandy Mutchler was done crunching the numbers, they determined it would cost less to put Red Canyon West in its own building across the street instead of adding a second story.
All in, Mutchler calculated it will cost around $5.8 million for both buildings, roughly the same as it would have to put a second floor on the existing building.
"Red Canyon West will be in a stand alone building, basically the same design as Red Canyon High School east in Edwards," Mutchler said.
The district is expected to pay $367,500 for the lot at 395 McGregor Drive.
Eagle Valley High School's auto program is scheduled to move for the second semester of the upcoming 2017-18 school year, Mutchler said.
The district's bus and transportation department will move from its current home on Third Street in Eagle.
The school district had briefly considered buying the Carpenters Union building on Chambers Avenue, in Eagle, but rejected that idea. Besides zoning issues and conflicts with existing business, including a marijuana shop, the building and land were listed for $4.2 million at the time.
The school board is expected approve the purchase in its Wednesday meeting. The gavel drops at 6 p.m.

Hamilton Fempreneurs nearing membership of 4000 local women-owned businesses
It was just over a year that we announced a new partnership between the group we founded, the Hamilton Fempreneurs, with the YWCA Hamilton. We've seen huge growth in the group's membership since then, topping 3,700 members recently.
Fempreneur founders: Suzanne Zandbergen, Erika MacKay, and Alicia Thoms
Hamilton Fempreneurs started four years ago as a way for three business-owning women to network with other local women and share our experiences starting and running businesses. There are so many common elements we all have to go through, so it just made sense to have a forum where we could explain our issues and see if anyone had advice or a referral for someone who could help. The forum took the form of a closed Facebook group, open to local women running businesses, or thinking about starting a business.
There are monthly events which are held at the YWCA (thanks to their generous donation of space), with speakers (always women) who teach the group something to help us run our businesses. We also throw in a social evening every so often to allow for women who can't make it to the daytime meetups, and to give more time for just getting to know each other and our businesses.
Past meetups have included some legendary women sharing their business journeys, such as Judy Marsales (brokerage founder), Janet Jacks (founder of Goodness Me!), Evelyn Myrie (founder of Empower Strategy Group) and Laura Babcock (founder of PowerGroup).
Evelyn Myrie
Judy Marsales
Laura Babcock
Future meetups include Cynthia Brace, author and health coach, leading a workshop on balancing your health while running a business, on September 30th, and Trish Tonaj, author and coach, leading a workshop on mentorship and sharing your lightbulb moments, on October 28th.
Join the group to RSVP for future events here. Almost all our events are free, and joining the group is free, but the advice and information you'll get from being a member is invaluable!

Hamilton artist turns doodling hobby into a business
You may not have heard of Jenna Gregory, but you've probably seen Jenna's Doodles. Hamilton artist Jenna has been drawing guests' portraits for the Mike on Much Podcast for the past four years, and her work can be found in shops across Hamilton and beyond. She also has an exhibition on display at Mulberry Coffee House on James North until June 10.
I met up with Jenna recently to find out more about her business journey from a doodling dream to small business owner.
What's the story behind how you started your business?
After graduating from Graphic Design I figured I would work in a design agency, but instead took off to travel New Zealand for 8 months. It was one of my two best life decisions, and New Zealand has become a huge inspiration for a lot of my work. When I returned I struggled to find work in my field and fell into a couple administrative jobs while also working at a pub. For administrative work it was pretty awesome. I worked for a comedy agency, followed by a music agency. Both things I loved, but deep down I was brokenhearted that I wasn't in a creative role. To stay in tune with my creativity I started a self-project "Jenna's Doodle-a-Day". I'd use my lunch break or time at the front desk of the pub to draw and then I'd post it online. Interest started to grow and people started asking for custom work. It was through these jobs that I met many incredibly talented people who were running against the grain and chasing these "dream jobs" that most think are impossible. I was inspired by their off-the-beaten path ways and it gave me the courage to eventually try it myself.
A friend recommended moving to Hamilton to start my business. He said the arts community was very supportive and living was affordable. So that was that, in September of 2014 I quit my job, loaded up the U-haul and moved here to try to build a business from practically nothing. I didn't know anything about Hamilton. For the first couple of months I was really excited, then realized I didn't know what I was doing and thought I had made a huge mistake and started to get really depressed. But I knew I had to keep trying to put the pieces together, so I chipped away and pushed myself to get more involved with the arts community. After taking a part-time job at the Art Gallery of Hamilton my social network expanded at a surprising rate and all of the pieces started falling into place. That was May of 2015, and since then the wheels have continued turning and now being an Artist is my full-time job. I am so thankful that I took the leap, and moving to Hamilton to do it was the second of the two best decisions I have ever made.
What are some of the pieces that fell together that helped launch your business?
I've had some wonderful opportunities designing artwork with some great Canadian musicians, including former Great Big Sea member Séan McCann, Pat Maloney, Shawn Kerr, My Father's Son, and Tragedy Ann. All lovely and amazing people. Collaborating with musicians has been one of my favourite areas of custom work. One of the first larger projects to come my way which has become an ongoing project for about four years now, has been working with fellow Hamiltonians Mike Veerman, Max Kerman and Shane Cunningham on the "Mike On Much Podcast". I have had the wonderful opportunity working with them from the get-go drawing the portraits of their guests. If you haven't listened to it, I highly recommend it.
What advice do you have for someone wanting to start a business?
Find people who are doing what you want to do and ask questions. Whenever I meet someone who says they would like to do what I am doing, I always encourage them to email me and ask questions. I am more than happy to share what I've learnt or where I get supplies to help them save time researching. I think if I had of done that, maybe I wouldn't have felt so overwhelmed in the beginning when I was starting out. Another piece of advice that a friend gave me years ago, when you are meeting someone new and making small chat, try to find a smooth way to mention what you are working on or goals you are trying to reach. People generally want to help others, but if they don't know what you are doing, they won't know how to help.
What business tool could you not live without?
Though it seems obvious, the internet. It was the first place I really saw strangers connect with my work and started thinking that maybe people would buy my work. Also, as an introvert I find it difficult to knock on doors asking people to wholesale my work, and having access to find stores online and contact them through email makes it much easier.
What do you love most about Hamilton?
I love how much nature surrounds the city. I love hiking, and nature is a huge inspiration for my work. There is a wonderful balance having all of the amenities of a city, but also the ability to escape into a peaceful place. And, my friend was absolutely right in saying that there is an incredibly supportive arts community here. In all of the places that I go to do shows, there is something extra special about Hamilton.
You can find Jenna's greeting cards and prints on her website at JennasDoodles.com and in select retail locations across Ontario, including The Hamilton Store, Art Gallery of Hamilton, Mixed Media, Cake & Loaf, Pretty Grit and True Hamiltonian.
Check out Jenna's current exhibition at Mulberry Coffee House, in conjunction with fellow artist Jenna Shamoon. On til June 10!

Local fempreneurs taking their sauces to the top
A quick chat turned into a big success. But it didn't happen overnight. For Jo Ann, Marlow and Mary, sauce is more than just a business. It's a way of life. Hamilton has become a place for sauce making (think Dawson's, Cooksville, Natal, Twisted Tomato, etc) and La Dee Da is the next big thing. We asked co-founder Mary some questions about entrepreneurship, the sauce business, and what the future has in store for La Dee Da sauces.
What's the story behind La Dee Da?
A few years ago we decided to start a sauce company over a simple cup of coffee. It was founded by Jo Ann Elsbury, Marlow Italiano and myself. We're all proud co-owners!
Can you tell us more about your sauces?
They're Canadian Products, made in Hamilton, Ontario with locally sourced ingredients, and are plant-based, vegan/vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nightshade-free are options. All natural preservatives too. We're inclusive to all eaters!
The La Dee Da Sauce lineup
What advice do you have for someone looking to start a business?
Simple. Do your research and due diligence before starting any business. Learn what customers are looking for, see what is lacking in the market you want to go into and be relevant with your product or service. Be innovative with something that consumers want. Lastly, be true to yourself and all your sweat equity you put into your business. Your heart and soul should go into anything you believe in and always remember to have fun!
What's a business tool you could not live without?
Our Quickbooks was a blessing to a small business without all the extra expenses that come alongside accounting and daily operations relating to accounts payable/receivable/inventory etc.
Where do you see La Dee Da in the next 5 years?
We hope to see La Dee Da in every household as a trusted and branded name! We want to be a national brand and we have some amazing opportunities upon us to expedite that sooner than 5 years. With a lot of hard work and dedication, we know we can make this a reality.
Mary and Jo Anne were born and raised in Hamilton. Jo Anne spent all her summers over at Gage Park running the Children's Museum and Mary rooted herself working at the original Fortinos on Mount Albion. Marlow, originally born in Niagara Falls, came over to this great city at a young age when she married a Hamiltonian.
What we love the most is the diversity and the acceptance of anyone who walks these great streets of Hamilton. We have come a long way within the food industry, the art industry and the overall beauty that makes Hamilton so great! Maybe that's why so many Torontonians are making their way over here and planting their roots!

Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that streaming music host SoundCloud was close to finalizing licensing deals with the three major labels. The deals would reportedly grant each label an ownership stake in SoundCloud of 3-5 percent in exchange for their agreement not to sue over copyright infringement on SoundCloud. Meanwhile, a mini-controversy has erupted over Soundcloud's implementation of its copyright enforcement procedures, making it important to separate fact from fiction.
The Senate Judiciary's subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights will hold a hearing on Thursday afternoon to examine the planned merger of Universal Music Group and EMI.
[…]On Monday afternoon, the authors of the Public Knowledge-Consumer Federation paper will speak at a briefing on Capitol Hill to discuss the merger. Casey Rae Hunter, deputy director of the Future of Music Coalition, will join Public Knowledge's Jodie Griffin and the Consumer Federation's Mark Cooper. Chris Naoum, co-founder of Listen Local First, will moderate.
Chairman Kohl, Senator Lee and members of the committee, it is an honor to submit the following testimony for the record in such an important hearing.
[…]Universal's deal would reduce the number of major record companies to three from four, and give the company — already the largest record group by revenue — a 40 percent share of the global recorded music market, according to most estimates.
Others in the music industry, including the Warner Music Group and independent organizations like the Future of Music Coalition, also oppose the Universal deal. But the deal has supporters, too, including some artist managers and American labor unions representing musicians and performers.
Does a music label merger threaten the music biz?
What does the future hold for the major labels? Do they need to consolidate to remain competitive in the face of music piracy? Would the cost of music rise? Would they stymie growth and creation of streaming sites such as Pandora and Spotify?

Born from decades of skin cancer research that led to breakthroughs in antioxidants, the SkinCeutical high potency formulas are concentrated in pure actives and proven to penetrate optimally into the skin.
Made in the USA, SkinCeutical skincare is used by dermatologists, plastic surgeons and clinics for daily homecare and to complement aesthetic procedures.
The core philosophy at the centre of the SkinCeuticals range consists of three main pillars: Prevention (minimising the effects of oxidation and free radical damage on the skin). Protection (offering broad spectrum defence against the sun's UV rays) and Correction (addressing the visible signs of ageing and environmental damage when they occur).
Offering solutions for a wide range of skin concerns, including blemishes, sensitivity, inflammation, dehydration and premature ageing, there is a SkinCeutical product for all skin types and ages. Stand out products include the Hydrating B5 Serum to relieve dehydrated complexions, the Resveratrol BE overnight concentrate to encourage cell repair, Retexturing Activator which exfoliates and adds moisture and AOX eye gel.


There are times when I think we live in our own little small-town Vermont oasis, cushioned from the crazy things that are going on in the modern world. And then there are times that I know we do.
Take last Friday night for example. We took our kids to a city forty minutes away in New York, because we had see the Muppet Movie… and that was the closest place to see it. We had to navigate the run-of-the-mill-mall, of course, that post-apocalyptic wasteland of crap you don't need and stuff to eat that isn't food. It was fine- we have yucky malls in Vermont too.
Then there was the theatre: each movie was allotted what I would call a large walk-in closet of a seating area, presumably so that they have room to show forty-seven different movies simultaneously. I was surprised to be treated to an incessant stream of commercials jabbering away on the screen, instead of the customary silence before the previews start, or the local powerpoint slide show that graces our local two-screen theatre in Vermont.
Then there were the previews. A full half-hour of them. Huh. Would they show commercials during the movie too, I wondered?
At long last we got to the part in which sky-scraper-sized containers of Coke and monster-truck-sized boxes of Sour Patch Kids float cheerfully through space, alterting audience members to something they have surely overlooked: that the football-field sized counter in the lobby- you know, that sensory assault of colors and chemicals you walked past to get in here? Yeah- you can buy "refreshments" there.
It was there, I noticed, that you can now buy a tub of popcorn larger than your head– it's about the size of a horse's grain bucket. To go with it, you can buy a soda of Brobdignagian proportions that takes two hands to carry.
Lucky for us, we had already eaten. But after the movie ended my older daughter Greta really REALLY wanted a drink, so I approached the neon counter and ordered a small bottle of water.
Is it me, or is the world just getting too obscene to believe? Since when does a bottle of water cost nearly five dollars? (The large, in case you were wondering, was $6.75) Using this principle, a shower should cost about a thousand dollars.
But the craziness doesn't end there: it's also at school. Holiday fundraising catalogs come home featuring "great gifts" such as cheap chocolates, chemical-laden soup packets, and mixes for cakes and cookies which aren't hard to make in the first place. Flyers supplied by the local supermarkets encourage us to buy certain name brands to "Help Our Schools!": "Bagel Bites," "TGI Fridays" appetizers, and "Yoplait" yogurts filled with high fructose corn syrup. I love our school, but I resent the fact that I'm being encouraged to buy crap for our kids in the name of school spirit.
How are we supposed to eat healthy when so many forces are conspiring to make us just go along with the status quo? When a bottle of water costs five dollars? When the celebration of Christmas- or anything, really- is equated with eating dessert? When getting a snack from the concession stand requires the use of a hand-truck?
It's one of the hard questions that never goes away… how do I raise a healthy child, in every sense, in mind, body and spirit? If we focus too much on good nutrition, will it backfire? How much are we willing to pull back from society at large, in order to eat healthy? For my part, I can only hope that our Year of No Sugar hasn't backfired terribly, turning my kids into life-long sugarholics just to get back at me for it. We'll see.
I struggle with this same question everyday! AND I'm my own worst ememy as I totally associate cookies with love. This time of year is the hardest because they just want to sell you stuff. Legal drug pushers.
My children are all in their 30's and are all sugar-holics so I did a terrible job but we just didn't know in the 70's. It makes me so mad, even as I'm typing this. And to make matters worse. No one seems to care. And I gained 2#'s this week.

Q: Inverse of projected matrix in terms of original inverse matrix Let $M$ be an invertible complex $n\times n$ matrix and let $C$ be a complex $n\times (n-1)$ matrix.  Write $\tilde{M} = C^T M C$.  Under what conditions is $\tilde{M}$ invertible and, if those conditions hold, how can $\tilde{M}^{-1}$ be written in terms of $M^{-1}$ and $C$?

A: Since the rank of a product is at most the rank of one of the factors, $C$ must certainly have rank $n-1$.  Now if $C$ has rank $n-1$, its null space is $\{0\}$, while the null space of $C^T$ is one-dimensional.  Let $u$ be
a nonzero vector in that null space, and let $v = M^{-1} u$.  Then the requirement for $C^T M C$ to be invertible is that $v$ is not in the range of $C$, i.e. that the
matrix obtained by adjoining $v$ as a column to $C$ is invertible.
EDIT:
Suppose this condition is satisfied.  The projection of $\mathbb C^n$ on the range of $C$ that annihilates $v$ is
$$P = I - \dfrac{v u^T}{u^T v}$$
Note that since $u^T w = 0$ for all $w \in \text{Ran}(C)$, and $v$ and $\text{Ran}(C)$ span all of $\mathbb C^n$, if $u^T v = 0$ we'd have $u = 0$, which is not the case; therefore $u^T v \ne 0$.
Now $C$ has rank $n-1$, so some $n-1$ rows of $C$ are linearly independent; for convenience, let's say these are the top $n-1$ rows.
Let $T$ be the $(n-1) \times (n-1)$ matrix formed by these
rows.  Let $S$ be the $(n-1) \times n$ matrix formed by the corresponding rows of $P$.  This satisfies $S C = T$ while $S v = 0$.
Now I claim that
$$(C^T M C)^{-1} = T^{-1} S M^{-1} S^T (T^{-1})^T$$
To verify this, note that
$C T^{-1} S v = 0$, while for $y = C x \in \text{Ran}(C)$ we have
$$C T^{-1} S y = C T^{-1} S C x = C T^{-1} T x = C x = y$$
Thus $C T^{-1} S = P$, and
$$ (C^T M C)(T^{-1} S M^{-1} S^T (T^{-1})^T) = C^T M P M^{-1} S^T (T^{-1})^T$$
Now
$$M P M^{-1} = I - \dfrac{M v u^T M^{-1}}{u^T v} = I - \dfrac{u u^T M^{-1}}{u^T v}$$
but $C^T u = 0$ so
$C^T M P M^{-1} = C^T$.  Thus we get
$$ (C^T M C)(T^{-1} S M^{-1} S^T (T^{-1})^T) = C^T S^T (T^{-1})^T =
T^T (T^{-1})^T = I$$

SUSTAINABILITY IS A PATH, NOT A DESTINATION
Earth Heroes: Sisters Saving Salamanders
April 23, 2019 · by Bobbie Faul-Zeitler	· in Animals at risk, Biodiversity, Conservation, Endangered species, Environment, Extinction, Heroes, Natural history, Sustainability.	·

We think of convents as places of order and refuge: That's exactly why the Lake Pátzcuaro salamander is so lucky to have an order of Dominican Sisters offer them continued survival through a captive breeding program. It's an unlikely place, a lakeside town in Mexico where the native Purépecha have lived since long before the Europeans arrived – and an unlikely occupation for the Dominican sisters
Some two dozen nuns in the Order, with Sister Ofelia Morales Francisco in the lead, breed and care for these extremely rare salamanders –popularly known as achoques, or Ambystroma dumerilii by scientists—in their convent, next door to a Basilica built in the 1500s. The name achoque is from the Purépecha word achójki — possibly derived from the word for mud.
They are endemic to Lake Pátzcuaro , and but for the Sisters, the achoques would probably be extinct in the wild. About 300 representing robust genetic diversity of the critically endangered species, live and are cared for in aquarium cases and enamel bathtubs inside the convent.
Water quality in Lake Patzcuaro has seriously declined, and with it, the population of achoques. Photo by Adriana Zehbrauskas for The New York Times. All rights reserved.
The Lake itself and population increases over time are the major reason for their decline. Water quality is poor due to several factors: untreated sewage pours directly into the lake, deforestation allows silt and pollution to be carried into the lake, and introduced species (largemouth bass and carp) eat the achoques' eggs and larvae. Native people ate achoques for generations and attributed mystical powers to a cough syrup made from their skin. As the achoques's population declines in the Lake, so has their genetic diversity.
What's so important about saving the achoques?

They're large, as salamanders go, growing up to a foot in length. They spend their entire adult lives underwater. They have a beautiful mane of external gills that allows them to breathe (other salamanders' aquatic larvae switch from external gills as adults) Their skin, the color of mustard and granular in texture, is especially prized as the source for making jarabe, a syrup that is used to treat coughs and bronchial conditions.

You could call this a symbiotic relationship: The Sisters are keeping up a healthy, active colony, and using skin scrapings to make a cough syrup whose recipe is only known to them! (And they've been making syrup for nearly a century!) The product is popular and sold in nearby markets.
"It's about protecting a species from nature," says Sister Ofelia. "If we don't work to take care of it, to protect it, it will disappear from creation.

Amphibian experts from Chester Zoo (England) and the Michoacána University of Mexico are now part of the mix, to survey the genetic heritage of the captive colony and make sure it has healthy diversity.
"That is why we consider that the nuns will be very vital in the future," said Gerardo Garcia, a curator and expert on endangered species at the Chester Zoo in England. Chester Zoo story with 9 minute video
Professor Andrew Johnson, from the University of Nottingham, notes the importance of the species both historically and in terms of study. "These things are so important and interesting because they represent the very first vertebrates to move onto land," he told the BBC. "Most people who use axolotls (cousins of the achoques) study them because of their ability to regenerate and it's remarkable. An axolotl can regenerate almost anything, it can regenerate its brain, it can regenerate its heart."
