I am running ArcPro 2.1 in Windows 7 64 bit - see image.
In working through a transition from ArcMap, I am having trouble when trying to "Select by Attribute" via Geo processing tools. Trouble being application "freezes". I can pan/zoom map around, can't select or de-select layers in TOC, I can click other ribbon tabs - but all remain grayed out, I can not close or exit ArcPro.
Esri processing check of my machine says I am fine in the specs department, and have even attempted to improve performance with NVIDIA Quadro K620 graphics board.
Anyone else experiencing similar issues related to geo processing functions?
Is it a locally stored file?
Thanks for knocking me upside my head. To clarify, I hadn't even got to the select a layer and building expressions. Just opening tool was causing hang up.
Went back to check a couple other projects...seems to be that particular one. I believe that mxd was imported into new ArcPro.

Is Nuclear Energy Suitable for an RI Portfolio?
As the field of responsible investing (RI) matures, it is worthwhile to consider the environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities related to nuclear energy and other debatable issues.
For example, the United Nations cites 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—one of these goals is 'Zero Hunger'. In our research on a company such as Nutrien, which produces fertilizers, we could certainly categorize it as a company that solves for this goal. However, Nutrien fails or receives a negative score for other SDGs such as 'Clean Water and Sanitation' and 'Life on Land'. In those areas, fertilizers and fertilizer companies are part of the pollution problem.
Nuclear energy occupies a similar grey area for the RI community—this is why we believe it's important to debate its merits through an ESG lens. Nuclear has great potential as an energy source but is controversial for many investors.
Nuclear energy, which uses uranium as fuel, produces waste that remains radioactive for very long periods of time.
Long-term storage and management of radioactive waste remain central concerns. In Canada, we have our own proprietary technology called CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uranium) that requires fuel rods to be replaced every 18 months or so. These rods are stored in large swimming pools and must be continually monitored for safety and to safeguard against their reuse. Some research suggests that, in the wrong hands, this radioactive waste can be reused to create and proliferate nuclear arms.
In addition, there have been several high-profile accidents involving nuclear energy, most recently in Fukushima, Japan. Unfortunately, it is impossible to handicap the odds of a reoccurrence of a similarly high impact but low-probability event. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has established a four-year action plan to ensure that the lessons learned from the Fukushima accident are applied in Canada to enhance the safety of our nuclear facilities. The good news is that the CNSC Task Force confirmed that nuclear facilities in Canada are able to withstand and respond to credible external events, such as earthquakes.
Nuclear energy produces electricity from uranium, a natural resource that is mined. The benefits of nuclear energy are low greenhouse gas emissions, low operating cost (the cost of fuel is practically zero per kWh) and high reliability as a fuel source.
Nuclear energy creates a number of high-paying jobs in the community where a nuclear plant is located and produces emission-free electricity under a highly regulated regime.
As we look to a future of transportation that will be predominantly powered by electricity, a clean source of electricity will become paramount. Natural gas is less carbon intensive than coal or oil, but it does produce greenhouse gases, as well as other nasty emissions such as nitrogen oxides.
Solar panels, too, contain toxic elements such as cadmium, which is used in thin-film solar, a fact not often discussed as the industry continues to expand. Cadmium is one of the top six deadliest and toxic materials known. The cadmium in solar panels (CdTe or cadmium telluride) appears to be less toxic than elemental cadmium, but its precise level of toxicity remains unclear. Although a regulated disposal program could emerge, the long-term safety of cadmium telluride solar panels is an issue for the solar industry.
In our view, the main issue with nuclear energy is the disposal of used nuclear fuel—but the waste management challenge is not unique to the nuclear sector. In the solar panel industry, there are different techniques to physically immobilize heavy metals such as cadmium in a way that can be securely disposed of in a hazardous waste landfill site. Unfortunately, there are no effective similar methods for used nuclear fuel.
Tying this back to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals of 'Affordable and Clean Energy', 'Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure', and 'Climate Action', it seems that an argument could be made to consider nuclear as an investment in ESG portfolios. Even better, engineering companies that provide leading nuclear decommissioning services2 would fit very well in an ESG portfolio.
2 Nuclear decommissioning is the administrative and technical process whereby a nuclear facility such as a nuclear power plant, a research reactor, an isotope production plant, a particle accelerator, or uranium mine is dismantled to the point that it no longer requires measures for radiation protection.

Art of Neil Gaiman A Visual Biography
by Hayley Campbell
Used Hardcover
1 Cedar Hills
With unprecedented access to Neil Gaimans personal archives, author Hayley Campbell gives an insiders glimpse into the artistic inspirations and musings of one of the worlds most visionary writers.
Over the last twenty-five years, Neil Gaiman has mapped out a territory in the popular imagination that is uniquely his own. A master of several genres, including, but not limited to, bestselling novels, childrens books, groundbreaking comics, and graphic novels, its no wonder Gaiman has been called a rock star of the literary world. Now, for the first time, Gaiman reveals the inspiration behind his signature artistic motifs, giving author Hayley Campbell a rare, in-depth look at the contents of his personal notebooks and early work, even some of his abandoned projects. The result is a startling, intimate glimpse into the life and mind of one of the worlds most creative visionaries. The book is the first comprehensive, full-color examination of Gaimans work to date, tracing the genesis of his creative life as a starving journalist in the UK to his life as a successful comic book writer and, ultimately, a bestselling novelist.
Complete with running commentary, interview text, and annotated material that contextualizes the visual material, this deluxe compendium contains never-before-seen material and promises to be every bit as inspired as Gaiman is himself.
Novelist, comics writer, scriptwriter, poet, and occasional artist, there are few creative avenues Neil Gaiman hasn't ventured down—from unforgettable books like The Ocean at the End of the Lane and American Gods to groundbreaking comics and graphic novels like The Sandman and Violent Cases; from big-screen fantasies like Coraline and Stardust to small-screen epics like Doctor Who and Neverwhere; and from short stories to songwriting, stage plays to radio plays, journalism to filmmaking, and all points in between.
The Art of Neil Gaiman is the first book to tell the full story of his amazing creative life. Never-before-seen manuscripts, notes, cartoons, drawings, and personal photographs from Neil's own archive are complemented by artwork and sketches from all of his major works and his own intimate recollections. Each project is examined in turn, from genesis to fruition, and positioned in the wider narrative of Gaiman's creative life, affording unparalleled access to the inner workings of the writer's mind.
Utterly comprehensive, lavishly illustrated, The Art of Neil Gaiman is the fully authorized account of the life and work of one of the world's great storytellers.
Hayley Campbell was born in England and lived in Australia for twenty years before moving to London, where she writes for the New Statesman, The Comics Journal, and McSweeney's. She is working on her first novel and can often be found committing terrible acts of amateur taxidermy.

That Corner Pink House Is Now Famous On So Many Levels

That Pink House
Date: Wed Jul 19, 2000 9:58:31 AM
Great sweetie! Glad you talked to Lillie. I was worried that she might think we had blown her off, as much of the world tends to say but not do what appeals to the ear at the moment, but I really want her to come for dinner sometime. I hope you re-enforced that thought with her. I appreciate my own special flavor of optimism when she cranks me up with feelings of invincibility, far beyond normal positive thinking levels. Of course the flipside is when reality crashes and often I crash really really hard. Right now I snort & lust with all the energy I know how to muster, so to care enough about expanding into a world matrix that co-operates more cohesively than the one here among the rocks and broken glass, papered up and down these dangerous streets that just don't get any cleaner or safer, tick tock, year after year.
But after 13 years here, in the five post-canine years since we began the Dollhouse phase, we've come to outgrow or feel we've earned a better place in the sun than Eighteenth Street, I'm sorry. The buyers seem to be scrappy naturals just right to fight the good fight here, and they love the house even though it's in something of a creepy drug-dealer neighborhood. For me and my baby, it's time to change the channels, praying for a new post, a new assignment.
We need to get out of this townhouse, trim back on certain chores and activities like gardening and general home maintenance and improvement, leaving all that to others now so I can more aggressively plow into business interests. We were fortunate to sell at an impressive gossip-generating price for this area. That corner pink house is now famous on so many levels.*
But the settlement in my opinion is indeed a fair rather than an excessive shake of the tree. Others already have and will continue to take notice. It's just this slum needs a sustainable makeover in a bad way, and it doesn't look like it's going to transpire soon enough for me to enjoy it. This corner should be a great place in America to live someday. The young buyers had looked everywhere, and were stunned at what was on the general market at this price point, mostly shells in neighborhoods not a whole lot different and perhaps even more treacherous than this one. Our house is very attractive. That hasn't always been the case. The Nickeldog years were atrocities. But after 13 years here, in the five post-canine years since we began the Dollhouse phase, we've come to outgrow or feel we've earned a better place in the sun than Eighteenth Street, I'm sorry. The buyers seem to be scrappy naturals just right to fight the good fight here, and they love the house even though it's in something of a creepy drug-dealer neighborhood. For me and my baby, it's time to change the channels, praying for a new post, a new assignment.

Quoth the Raven
"Intellectual economics guarantees that even the most powerful and challenging work cannot protect itself from the order of fashion. Becoming-fashion, becoming-commodity, becoming-ruin. Such instant, indeed retroactive ruins, are the virtual landscape of the stupid underground. The exits and lines of flight pursued by Deleuze and Guattari are being shut down and rerouted by the very people who would take them most seriously."

Very few direct trains from England go beyond Swansea, although connections at Newport, Cardiff or Swansea link up with services to Carmarthen and stations in Pembrokeshire. The north coast service from London Euston to Holyhead (4hr), via Chester, also stops at Prestatyn, Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno Junction and Bangor, and is operated by Virgin Trains. From other cities in England and Scotland, you'll probably need to change en route – at Bristol for the south coast line, at Crewe for the north coast.

Today is what me and my friend Mat have been referring to as 'Game Day'. Despite the title its not a day where we shoot pheasant, or get involved in the West Baltimore drugs system. Instead its a day where after work, Mat comes round and all we do for hours is play games. Layla loves these days. She loves the way that we entirely take over the TV and shout offensive words at it as we shoot the living shoot out of virtual things. She loves that I completely ignore anything she's saying because I am focusing on hitting Mat with a ultra-super combo in his stupid computer face. She could be telling me that everyone outside of our flat is dead and it would go fairly unnoticed until we've at least beaten the 2nd level boss. Oh sorry, did I say love? I meant loathe. Game Day is long overdue though. The last time it happened our cats chased a squirrel through our house until it managed to climb underneath the bathtub through a tiny crack in the wall. There is no window in our bathroom so the squirrel in search for freedom had essentially made itself a prisoner of a nicely tiled jail. We called the RSPCA and they said they were unable to do anything because it was a grey squirrel and as they are not native animals they can't be touched. The RSPCA are racists. If you ever see a giraffe crippled in the middle of Oxford Circus you'll just have to help it yourself, as calling the RSPCA would just mean they turn up, tell the giraffe to go back to where it bloody came from then spit at it and call it unfair names like 'long necked bastard' and 'leaf eating twat'.
So we tried various things including leaving a tiny trail of rice crispies from the hole in our bath all the way to window. This would probably have worked ok if I hadn't forgotten about them 10 minutes later and trod rice crispies everywhere. In the end we left the lights of in the bathroom hoping it would just come out by itself. For 6 days the squirrel scrabbled about underneath our bath which made it very disconcerting to shower. Then we gave in, and got a plumber round to remove the bath panel. We were expecting that as the bath panel was removed our rodent squatter would depart in a flash but instead he was nowhere to be found. The little bastard. There was no where he could go and so he must have simply evaporated. I was worried perhaps the shower had been too hot and he had melted. Either way he cost us a new bath panel, a handful of rice crispies and Game Day. Next squirrel I see I'm going to fine him.
Today's game day, rather excitedly, will be Resident Evil 5 based. I have only played the demo of this which helped me get through snowy times as stated here:
http://tiernandouieb.blogspot.com/2009/02/against-odds.html
But Mat is bringing over the proper full game tonight which means there will be some genuine fear happening. Its still one of the only three things I have ever screamed because of. I'm not really a screaming person, but there has been cause for it a few times. One was seeing the show The Witching Hour at Edinburgh two years ago, that was petrifying, and caused me to leap into my friend Ali's lap out of sheer fear and then drink a lot of whisky afterwards. Two was on the Big Shot ride at the Stratosphere in Vegas when I was fairly certain I was being sent to the moon. The third time was on Resident Evil 3: Nemises when me and Mat played it in our first year of university. We had been drinking some cans of beer and were a little way through the game, when there was the in-game sound of breaking glass. We paused the game and had a moment discussing what the hell that noise might be. After a deep breath the game was unpaused. Walking along the corridor nothing seemed to happen. Then we arrived at the staircase. Now in the old games the stairs were shown with images of each step as you walk down them at a time with nothing else in vision, which is really unfair. The stairs were a terrible experience. As we reached the bottom, still nothing happened. Big sigh of relief. Then we took one step forward AND A 12 FOOT ZOMBIE BROKE THROUGH THE WINDOW AND HIT US IN THE FACE! Game paused, we both screamed. I still have nightmares about that. Terrible stuff.
Anyone that mocks Resident Evil's level of scariness is either super tough or has never played it. Its truly wrong. As far as I know its still the only thing to scare my friend Omar. He's 6'6″ and does ninjitsu. Very little phases him. However he once played Resident Evil 2 and his friend knocked on his door in the middle of game play and he jumped. That's how scary it is. So tonight with RE5 may cause me a heart attack. Cant imagine Layla would love that. Cant watch TV, the sofa is taken and I've had a heart attack and died. Well she'll just have to deal with it because its Game Day.
Had a bit of a lovely gig in Norwich last night. Aside from the fact that the gig was in a tiny lovely place and I met another Twitterer, Sorrel, who was ace, there were two incidents which made the evening. One was sitting outside the Tesco Metro in town having a sandwich with two of the other acts, Alistair Greaves and Nathanial Metcalfe, when a man in a top hat, tails and carrying a cane strolled by. It was as though he had fallen in from a Victorian day. It was at that point Nat pointed out that the road we were on was called 'Gentlemen's Walk'. Amazing. I expect next time I walk down a street near me called Victoria Road for it to be filled with people in period costume. Either that or a massive train station or a dead queen. The other incident was a women at the end of the night coming to say that she enjoyed the show but she happened to speak with a voice like a Muppet. I don't know if she'd ever noticed this before but it was almost exactly how Kermit would sound if he lived in Norwich. I had to stifle my childish laughter, but it was hilarious. I wonder if its hindered her in life or just cheered up everyone around her. I can do a half decent Kermit impression and some people tell me how happy that makes them feel. I like to think that this Muppet woman is bringing cheer to the world. Even though she has probably never been taken seriously by anyone ever. She could be telling you everyone outside of your flat is dead and you'd just laugh. Then you'd wonder how she got in your flat.

Q: Anchor boxes never overlap when calculating IOU due to stride I'm setting up a FastER-CNN where we use the idea of anchors.
If I'm getting it right, we have to know the output shape (w,h) of the image at the mouth of the convnet then workout the horizontal and vertical stride and use these guys in choosing anchors points on the original input picture (i.e. if h_strid=v_stride = 32 then on the original picture I shall make x anchor boxes each 32 pixel.

*

*Here is the problem:

The ground truth boxes are very small (with~(1 to 25) and height~(1 to 25), upon generating the anchors (different scales and different aspect ratios) it produces a lot of anchors. Only 1 can overlap an anchor box wih an IOU value of 0.1.
I see that it's because the stride which is actually dictated by the convnet output.
Am I missing something here or is there any rule of thumb for choosing a base size for the reference anchors (or scale or aspect ratios).

This is an old recipe that is enjoying a comeback. I had never eaten it growing up and then sampled some in the mountains of North Carolina on a trip. I had to have the recipe! I found this one in an old book from the 1800's. Its easy to do and could be scaled down to be used as a refrigerator pickle. Excellent flavor.
Peel rind and cut cantaloupe into one inch pieces. Soak over night in weak vinegar. To each seven pounds of fruit, add three pounds of sugar and eight sticks of cinnamon, one tablespoonful of whole cloves. Cook about an hour and one-half or until the fruit becomes transparent. Place in 'sterile jars and seal. Serve as a relish or side dish with chicken or meats.

March 28 2014 ITS Staff Miami, Florida – Second-seed Novak Djokovic entered th final of the Sony Open Tennis without hitting a ball when Kei Nishikori pulled out prior to the semi-final match on Friday afternoon according to the tournament committee.
Nishikori reached the semi-finals after a three-set upset win over Roger Federer in the quarter-finals on Wednesday. On Sundays final, Djokovic will bid to win his fourth Miami crown either against World No. 1 Rafael Nadal or Tomas Berdych for the title.
Tomas Berdych has also withdrawn from the Sony Open Tennis semi-finals due to stomach illness thus giving Rafael Nadal a free ride to the finals.
Berdych, a 2010 Sony Open finalist and this year's No. 7 seed, was looking to capture his first Sony Open title. With the withdrawal Nadal advances to the Sony Open final for the fourth time. Nadal has previously reached the final in 2005 (vs. Roger Federer), 2008 (vs. Nikolay Davydenko), and 2011 (vs. Djokovic).
In women's doubles semi-finals, former World No.1 Martina Hingis and 2013 Wimbledon finalist Sabine Lisicki's upset No.5 seeds Cara Black and Sania Mirza, 6-3 6-4 to reach their first final as a team. They will play No.2 seeds Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina who defeated No.8 seeds Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears.


WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Carl Edwards, who won the pole at Watkins Glen International, has become somewhat of a master at qualifying on NASCAR's two Sprint Cup road courses.
Edwards turned a fast lap of 126.562 mph on Saturday to edge Kyle Larson for the top spot for Sunday's Cheez-It 355. It was the fourth pole of the season for Edwards in his No. 19 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing and gave him a road course season sweep. He also won the pole in June at NASCAR's other road course in Sonoma.
"I'm really proud of doing well just because it really has been a long learning process," Edwards said. "Now we've just got to get a win here."
He's in the right spot. The last five winners at Watkins Glen came from the top six in qualifying.
Five-time Watkins Glen winner Tony Stewart, who is retiring after the season, qualified third in the final road race of his career, followed by Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch. Jeff Gordon and Stewart, NASCAR's all-time leaders in road course wins, move a step closer to the final road race of their careers as the Cup series races today on a new racing surface.
Martin Truex Jr., who had topped the speed charts in Friday's first practice and was second to Allmendinger in final practice, wound up 14th after problems with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Gordon, subbing again for the injured Dale Earnhardt Jr. (concussion), qualified 21st.
Truex and Stenhouse took turns impeding one another's progress on the track during the first round of qualifying, and that ended up taking two of the fastest cars in practice out of the running for the pole.
"I don't know what the right thing is to do," Truex said. "When you get to this level, you should be able to know what's going on around you. It's a little frustrating. He was just leaving the pits. It was not like he was on his lap. He should have seen me and just checked up."
"We work hard to try not to mess up other people," Edwards said. "Here it's really easy to mess somebody up. It's even easier to act like you didn't mean to."
Larson was fastest in the final round until Edwards knocked him down a rung. He couldn't gain any speed on one final try around the 2.45-mile course.

Comprendere contesti. Il nuovo Corpus Inscriptionum Iudaeae / Palaestinae multilingue
Abstract: Presentation of volumes I 1-2 and II of the Corpus Inscriptionum Iudaeae / Palaestinae (CIIP); explanation of the goal of the Corpus and the methodology used; short analysis of the inscriptions found in Jerusalem and Caesarea according to time and language; some remarks about the future volumes of the CIIP.

Magistrature megaresi dalla Grecia al Mar Nero
Abstract: The ancient Greek cities on the Black Sea and the Bosporus developed an extraordinary devotion to their historical background, since they felt the need of showing their cultural identity towards the non-Greek neighbours, the other Greek peoples, and, finally, the Macedonian and Roman rulers. The paper focuses on some public Megarian institutions and, in particular, on the role of the eponym magistrates, of the strategoi, and of the so-called aisymnetai.

Gerione in Ecateo di Mileto (FGrHist 1 F26). Alcune considerazioni per una nuova interpretazione
Abstract: A well-known fragment of the Genealogies of Hecataeus of Miletus (FGrHist 1 F26) locates the kingdom of Geryon not in the Iberian Peninsula, as Hesiod believed, but in Epirus. Hecataeus may have derived his version from an ancient group of local traditions, some of which coming from Corinth.
Lorenzo Fati
Trogo, prol. 27 e la battaglia di Andro
Abstract: It is commonly believed that the battle of Andros was fought in 246/5 BC, during the Laodicean war, and was won by Antigonus Gonatas (cf. e.g. Walbank, A History of Macedonia, III, 1988, pp. 587-600; Buraselis, Das hellenistische Makedonien, 1982, pp. 119-145). On the basis of the sources now available, however, this theory is no longer acceptable; it is more likely that the battle was fought after 230 and was won by Antigonus Doson.
Luca Arcari – Carmine Pisano
Linee guida per un corpus della storiografia greca frammentaria sul mondo ebraico. Artapano, FGrHist 726 F3A, 1-9 e la figura di Mosè/Mouso
Abstract: The article illustrates the guidelines of a new edition of the fragments from Hellenistic Jewish historians. A close analysis of Artapanus, FGrHist 726 F3a, 1-9 shows that this literature was not primarily aimed at promoting the dialogue between Jews and the other peoples, but is an expression of the intra-Jewish debate between those who refused any form of assimilation and those who, on the contrary, sought to reformulate "Jewishness" in a new cultural and historical context.
Maria Cristina Zerbino
Taceo in Plauto: quando dire non è fare
Abstract: In Plautus' Poen. 262 the adulescens Agorastocles, replying to his servant Milphio's taceo, wittily remarks si tacuisses, iam istuc 'taceo' non gnatum foret. In fact, taceo ("I shut up") is a paradoxical utterance, which, taken at face value, means the opposite of what it states. The contradiction between saying and doing is likewise humorously stressed in Ps. 209. The article examines the sixteen instances of taceo after directive expressions in Plautus' comedies, showing that, in most cases, it occurs within comic routines that delay the progress of the action and that, predictably, the utterer never shuts up thereafter. In all those instances, what matters is the relational meaning of the expression, its illocutionary force, implying the speaker's intention to please the other. On three occasions, only the expression works as a stage direction marking the exit of the character. Significantly enough, the pun on the paradoxical taceo takes place in plays like Poenulus and Pseudolus where both the power and the unreliability of speech are staged.
Ilaria Sforza
Il Περὶ 'Ιουδαίων dello pseudo-Ecateo
Abstract: The paper focuses on some fragments of a pamphlet on the Jews doubtfully attributed to Hecataeus of Abdera (4th c. BC); special attention is devoted, in particular, to a passage of Josephus' Against Apion 1, 183-204 (Hecat., FGrHist 264 T7a and F21) which tries to demonstrate the interest and respect of the ancient Greek authors towards Jewish culture.
Francesca Romana Nocchi
Imago est animi voltus. La maschera fra teatro e oratoria
Abstract: Quintilian often used scenic art as a term of comparison in order to impart the future orator with his precepts about the instrumental use of facial expression. In this regard, the Institutio oratoria provides clues which are useful in clarifying the rules for the implementation of shows and technical devices used; as regards the use of the mask, in particular, it seems possible to deny their general use in imperial times.

Gaetano Koch, Giulio Podesti e il "salubre Esquilino" oraziano. Un dialogo epigrafico tra architetti nella Roma di fine '800
Abstract: The urban transformation of Rome, after the proclamation of the city as capital of unified Italy, led to the erection of several buildings bearing Latin inscriptions. Palazzo Costanzi, built by Gaetano Koch in 1878 in front of Piazza dell'Esquilino, shows a quotation from Horace (Serm. I 8, 14), who alluded to Maecenas: "Now it is possible to live on the healthy Esquiline Hill". A reply to this statement is offered by an inscription carved on Palazzo Bassi (1887); here the building itself claims that the new Corso Vittorio Emanuele II does not envy the healthy Esquiline Hill. By quoting the same Horace's words, the architect of Palazzo Bassi, Giulio Podesti, stressed the beauty of his work in comparison to Koch's.

Il fondo epistolare Paola Zancan: alcune lettere inedite
Abstract: During the Fascist regime, the University of Padua, thanks to a fortunate series of circumstances, could enlist many illustrious names of Italian culture, some of which, moreover, played a significant role in the fight against totalitarianism. One of them was the historian Paola Zancan. Today, thanks to the rediscovery of the letters addressed to her by many famous scholars of antiquity, it is possible to shed further light on a figure that broke the limits imposed to women by social bias in the first half of XX century.

Polluted runoff water occurs when rain and melting snow carry pollutants from streets, parking lots, yards or construction sites and wash them into storm drains.
Bloomingdale residents, you can help! Your everyday activities can have a large impact on the water quality in and around the Village of Bloomingdale. By taking simple steps around your home or business, you can help to reduce the amount of polluted water that enters our storm drains and makes its way untreated to our local waterways.
Help keep the storm drains clean. Only rain and snow melt water should ever go down a storm drain. Keep leaves and other debris from homes, lawns, pets, and vehicles out of storm drains and always remember that anything that enters a storm drain is untreated when it eventually finds its way into a lake, river, or stream. When leaves are blown or swept into storm drains and waterways they can become a source of water pollution. Once they reach waterways, leaves decompose and release nutrients into the water, which can result in algae blooms and decreased oxygen for fish.
When you're out walking your pet remember to scoop the poop and dispose of it properly. Leaving pet waste on the ground allows harmful bacteria to wash into the storm drain.
Use fertilizers and chemicals sparingly. When their use is necessary, follow the directions on the label and do not apply if rain is forecast as the chemicals will be washed into the storm drain. Also, don't over water your lawn runoff water can carry fertilizer and lawn clippings into the storm drain.
Try to use a commercial car wash as they have water reuse systems; or wash your car on a lawn to minimize the amount of dirty soapy water that flows to the storm drain system and enters a waterway untreated.
Do not let the spilled fluid enter a nearby storm drain! Recycle all automotive fluids at participating recycle centers. Do not pour them down the storm drain or place them in the garbage!
Never dump any kind of household hazardous waste into a storm drain! These items such as paint, varnish, cleaners, acids, etc. need to be taken to an approved hazardous waste recycling center.
Report all spills that are potentially life threatening or hazardous in nature by calling 911. Report any non-hazardous spills or illegal dumping to the Village of Bloomingdale Utilities Division at 630-671-5830.

The Dominican order kicked off the celebrations of their jubilee this past weekend around the world. Interwoven with the Year of Mercy will the celebration of a man whose destiny was to set the world aflame with Christ's burning love. The most we can know about St. Dominic is from the men and women who carry his charism as their banner and way of life – the priests, brothers, nuns and lay consecrated who praise, bless and preach in all that they do.
The Holy Father recognizes the significant contribution of St. Dominic and promulgated a plenary indulgence for all who celebrate in and with the Dominican communities in the world. May the celebrations of the Dominican charism further enrich the upcoming Year of Mercy, and may the next 800 years for the order be filled with many blessings.

LAS VEGAS, NV — Horseplayers and their fans have until Friday morning to place their bets on who will win the 18th Daily Racing Form/NTRA National Handicapping Championship (NHC) Presented by Racetrack Television Network and Treasure Island Las Vegas. The NHC Future Wager, available in the Treasure Island Race & Sports Book, offers odds on 363 individual players and a "Field" encompassing about 190 other players that qualified for the world's richest and most prestigious handicapping contest after Oct. 31.
Not surprisingly, the Field opened as a heavy 7-2 favorite. Handicapping contest veteran Dave Gutfreund – the NHC's all-time leading money earner still known to many by his old nickname "The Maven" – is the current favorite among individual horseplayers at 40-1.
Defending NHC winner Paul Matties and 2015 NHC Tour winner Jonathon Kinchen were the opening co-favorites at 50-1.
Matties closed at 50-1 last year, returning $102 on a $2 wager. Incredibly, Matties cashed a $100 wager on himself, earning $5,000 on top of his $800,000 first-place prize.
Several veteran players with the maximum two entries, such as past champion Judy Wagner, opened at 75-1. Others with two entries opened at 150-1, while the remaining individual interests with one entry, including AGameofSkill.com founder Rich Nilsen, opened at 200-1.
The NHC Future Wager will close Friday, Jan. 27, the opening day of NHC 18, at 9 a.m. PST. NHC 18 will be contested over three days, Jan. 27-29, at Treasure Island.


At the February 7th luncheon, Council Member Jessica Lappin discussed her legislative priorities for the borough of Manhattan.

Pandarinath Wins NIH New Innovator Award for AI-Powered Brain-Machine Interfaces
The seemingly simple act of reaching for a cup isn't really simple at all. In truth, our brains issue hundreds, maybe thousands of instructions to make that happen: positioning your body just right, maybe leaning forward a bit, actually lifting your arm and reaching out, grasping the cup with your fingers, and a whole host of tiny movements and adjustments along the way.
Scientists can record all of the neural activity related to the movement, but it's complicated and messy. "Seemingly random and noisy," is the way Chethan Pandarinath describes it. So how do you pick out the signal from the noise, to identify the activity that controls all those movements and says to the body, "pick up the cup"?
Pandarinath thinks he has a way, using new artificial intelligence tools and our growing understanding of neuroscience at a system-wide level. It's an approach he's been building toward for years, and he's after a goal that could be nothing short of revolutionary: creating brain-machine interfaces that can decode in just milliseconds, and with unprecedented accuracy, what the brain is telling the body to do. The hope is to reconnect the brain and the body for patients who are paralyzed from strokes, spinal cord injuries, or ALS — amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease.
The National Institutes of Health has recognized the exceptional creativity of Pandarinath's approach — and its transformative potential — with a 2021 Director's New Innovator Award, the agency's most prestigious program for early career researchers.
"What NIH is looking for in this mechanism is ideas that they think are transformative — it's a little bit hard to predict how it will go, but the idea has the potential to really change an entire field," said Pandarinath, assistant professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Emory University and Georgia Tech. "It's wonderful recognition that they think my proposal is significant enough,"
Part of the NIH's High-Risk, High-Reward Research program, Pandarinath's $2.4 million grant will support his team's launch of a clinical trial this fall, implanting sensors into the brains of ALS patients. He'll work closely with Emory neurosurgeons Nicholas Au Yong and Robert Gross and neurologist Jonathan Glass, who's also director of the Emory ALS Center.
"To move this toward a clinical trial, that really is a collaboration between BME and Neurosurgery and Neurology. That's pretty exciting. That's the only way we can make clinical impact," said Pandarinath, who also is a faculty member in the Emory Neuromodulation Technology Innovation Center, or ENTICe.
"It is exciting to see this project coming together as a result of the ingenuity and efforts of this extraordinarily talented team of engineers and clinician-scientists," said Gross, the MBNA Bowman Chair in Neurosurgery and founder and director of ENTICe. "It moves us closer toward our goal, in partnership with Georgia Tech, to improve the lives of patients disabled by ALS and other severe neurological disorders with groundbreaking innovations and discovery."
Decoding the Brain in Real Time
Ideally, the AI-powered brain-machine interfaces Pandarinath proposes would work almost "out of the box" for any patient, without significant calibration. It's a lofty target, considering the challenges. The interface has to:
Identify the electrical activity that corresponds with specific movements, and do it in real time (patients can't be repeatedly thinking about a movement for a full minute to try to activate the interface).
Account for the day-to-day changes in data we record within one person's brain.
Work despite the slight differences between brains.
So, how will Pandarinath's team tackle the seeming mountain of challenges ahead of them? It hinges on a concept in machine learning called "unsupervised" or "self-supervised" learning. Rather than starting with a movement and trying to map it to specific brain activity, Pandarinath's algorithms start with the brain data.
"We don't worry about what the person was trying to do. If we just focus on that, we're going to miss a lot of the structure of the activity. If we can just understand the data better first, without biasing it by what we think the pattern meant, it ends up leading to better what we call 'decoding,'" he said.
These artificial intelligence tools have been reshaping other fields — for example, computer vision for autonomous vehicles, where AI has to understand the surrounding environment, or teaching computers to play chess or complicated video games. Pandarinath has been working to apply unsupervised learning techniques to neuroscience and uncover what the brain is doing.
"That's not something that other people have done before — at least not like what we're doing. That's kind of our secret sauce," he said. "We know these tools are changing the game in so many other AI applications. We're showing how they can apply in brain-machine interfaces and impact people's health."The key is a pair of discoveries that suggested there are identifiable brain patterns related to movement. First, other researchers demonstrated that brain activity related to movement in monkeys is consistent across individuals. Then Pandarinath showed the patterns are likewise similar in humans, even in people who are paralyzed. He said these fundamental signatures seem to apply across different types of movement, too.
"We're saying, there are some things that are consistent across brains — we're even seeing it across species," he said. "That's why we think this technology can really have broad application, because we're able to tap into the this underlying consistency."
The team will start with trying to restore patients' ability to communicate, Pandarinath said, like interacting with a computer: "Computers are such a huge part of our everyday lives now that if you're paralyzed and can't surf the web, or type emails, that's a pretty big deal. You've lost a lot of what we do."
When the team moves into clinical trials, Pandarinath's AI tools will be paired with existing implantable brain sensors to test how well they work for patients. The implants themselves are the kind of devices already used for deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's patients, for example. The technology the team is developing is independent of the sensor — it's all about making the best use of the data recorded in the brain. As better sensors come along (and people like Elon Musk are working on exactly that), Pandarinath said his tools will work even better.
"Our focus is the underlying approach, these AI algorithms and what can they do for us. The application of communication, we think, is just one way to demonstrate the technology," Pandarinath said. "We think the same concepts can be useful if you're controlling a robotic arm, reaching out and grabbing that coffee cup, or maybe driving implanted muscle stimulators to help somebody with spinal cord injury to control their own arm. The application of the technology is the same: figuring out what the brain is doing and what does the person want to do?"

Namibia, located on the western coast of Southern Africa, is bordered by Angola to the north, Botswana to the east, South Africa to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Namibia gained its independence on 1 March 1990. Namibia's capital is Windhoek. English is the official language of Namibia, and the currency is the Namibian dollar (NAD).
Namibia consists of arid and desert regions in the south and southwest, changing to fertile areas in the far north and northeast. Communal land tenure of 41% and commercial ownership of farms co-exist in the primary sector. Farming mainly centres on livestock and game farming, with subsistence cropping in the north. Grain is grown commercially. Marine fishing takes place along Namibia's 1,500 kilometre long coastline fed by the rich Benguela Current from Antarctica. Fishing quotas are strictly enforced to ensure sustainability.
The manufacturing industry mainly includes meat processing, fish processing, and beverages. The mining industry is the backbone of the economy. Mining mainly centres on diamonds and uranium, with smaller copper, zinc, and lead mines. The second largest sector is tourism, in terms of foreign revenue earned, which has a tremendous potential for growth.
Namibia is richly endowed with wildlife and offers well managed hospitality establishments at affordable prices to mainly European, Asian, and American tourists. Namibia has a modern telecommunications system and is linked via international satellite services to telecommunication services worldwide. Towns and major routes have reliable cellular coverage. The country further boasts 122 post offices nationwide.
The public transportation system is not well developed in some parts of the country. Private operators provide transport by road between major towns and to neighbouring countries. The parastatal TransNamib provides passengers with rail services to the south, west, and north of the country. Air Namibia is the national carrier and provides flight services to major towns inside Namibia from Windhoek as well as to regional (including South Africa, Angola) and international (Germany, United Kingdom) destinations. Private charter companies also provide domestic flights.
Namibia has two commercial ports, Walvis Bay (central) as the main port and Luderitz as a secondary port.
Electricity supply is sourced from hydro-electrical, coal fired, and diesel fired power stations in Namibia, as well as power purchase agreements with other countries in the region.
Namibia benefits from the USA African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which provides for duty and quota-free access to the United States markets for all products (excluding textiles and apparel markets). Goods produced, grown, and manufactured in Namibia may be imported free of customs duties into Zimbabwe, and vice versa pursuant to the Namibia-Zimbabwe Preferential Trade Agreement, which came into force on 17 August 1992.
Namibia has been a member of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) since 1990, which provides for free movement of goods between the member states consisting of Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, and Swaziland pursuant to a renegotiated, democratised agreement signed in October 2002. Duties are levied in terms of a common external tariff on goods originating outside the Union, and no duties or quantitative restrictions apply on intra-SACU trade. Customs revenue is pooled and is shared in terms of a negotiated revenue sharing formula.
Namibia is a member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), with an ultimate objective of forming an integrated economic block. The SADC member countries consist of Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe.
Namibia is also part of the South African rand (ZAR) Common Monetary Area (Namibia, Lesotho, South Africa, and Swaziland), with no foreign exchange restrictions between its members. Foreign exchange regulations apply on other transactions and are strictly regulated by the Bank of Namibia. Namibia has a well-developed commercial banking system with four commercial banks.
PwC Namibia is represented in Windhoek and Walvis Bay, offering assurance, tax, and advisory services as the leading financial service provider in Namibia.

The Saltdogs (22-33) used their speed in the bottom of the seventh inning to break open a tie ballgame and hung on for a 4-2 series-closing victory over the El Paso Diablos (20-33) at Haymarket Park Sunday evening.
With the score tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh, new Saltdogs center fielder Sean Smith hustled out an infield single. After advancing to second base on a throwing error by the pitcher, Smith came in to score the go-ahead run on a Justin Harper wild pitch.
David Espinosa added a sacrifice fly and Stephen Holdren tacked on a RBI double to center to give the 'Dogs a 4-1 lead after seven innings.
Wade Mackey (4-0) pitched seven terrific innings in his first start since returning from the disabled list. The Waco, Texas native allowed just one run on seven hits and didn't walk anybody. P.J. Zocchi allowed a run on one hit with two strikeouts in the ninth to notch his 12th save.
Smith, Holdren and John Alonso all recorded multi-hit efforts as Lincoln salvaged a four-game split with El Paso by winning the final two games.
The Saltdogs host Winnipeg Monday night at 7:05 p.m. for the first of a three-game set. Moises Melendez (0-1, 8.68) is expected to start for Lincoln. Radio coverage begins at 6:35 p.m. on KFOR 1240.
