Localecopia is a non-profit organization focused on bringing together businesses, producers, educators and government organizations for the purpose lessening our carbon footprint by supporting local product consumption, helping operations better utilize waste and bringing together individuals to help achieve sustainable business practices.
The Hospitality Industry: Comprised of hotels, restaurants, country clubs, cruise lines, institutional and other foodservice venues.
Local Agriculture: Comprised of local agriculture , horticulture, aquaculture and other local producers.
Local Government: Comprised of city and county groups who work directly with local businesses and agriculture.
The University of Florida: Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences A federal-state-county partnership dedicated to developing knowledge in agriculture, human and natural resources, and the life sciences, and enhancing and sustaining the quality of human life by making that information accessible. While extending into every community of the state, UF/IFAS has developed an international reputation for its accomplishments in teaching, research and extension. Because of this mission and the diversity of Florida's climate and agricultural commodities, IFAS has facilities located throughout Florida.
The idea of Localecopia started with a question by the Executive Chef of the Breakers Hotel: Why can't our hotel serve the same, fresh mango I can get from walking outside my back yard? With this simple question in mind, Geoff Sagrans, Assistant Director of Materials Management at the Breakers, wanted to come up with a plan to make this happen. Knowing that the hotel was already leading the charge in green initiatives (which had a core focus on sustainability), Geoff came up with a concept which incorporated buying local produce with the whole theory of a local focus.
The idea was to create a concept where everyone could benefit from each other (hence, "Group Synergies"). This idea was to also make the endeavor a non-profit one so all businesses could participate and benefit. The concept was originally called The Farm-To-Plate Alliance. After much due diligence on the name, it was recommended that a new name be formed because of the potential for a naming conflict of interest with other organizations. The quest for the new name took many months. With the help from Mike and Amy Wallander, Localecopia became the new title of this concept.
From the summer of 2007 until the Fall of 2008 meetings were held with members of the University of Florida, UF / Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, local government officials, large area farmers, small area farmers and various members of the hospitality community. With an overwhelming positive response, the concept was further refined. Each of the groups began to realize the benefits that could be achieved by working with the other groups.
During the Fall of 2008 Localecopia had its humble beginnings. Starting with a few farmers and hospitality organizations, the concept appears to be taking off. As the word grows about this concept, Localecopia sees the potential for this to positively impact members of this community and many other communities for years to come.

COX-2 inhibitors
To say that arthritis sufferers were eager to get their hands on these drugs is an understatement. COX-2s were so popular that doctors wrote more than 100 million prescriptions for celecoxib (Celebrex) and rofecoxib (Vioxx) in the year 2000 alone. Vioxx had sales of $2.6bn in 2001, and Celebrex has raked in more than $4bn for Pfizer since 1999 (Inflammopharmacology, 2005; 13: 419-25).
But now, researchers at Nottingham University have revealed that the COX-2s are just as bad as the NSAIDs they are meant to replace. In a study of more than 9400 patients diagnosed with a stomach ulcer or GI bleeding, the researchers found an increased risk of GI problems that was associated not only with the conventional NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, but with the COX-2s as well (BMJ, 2005; 331: 1310-6).
In other words, years of COX-2 commercial success have been based on claims that turn out not to be true.
This astonishing discovery, which has taken around 15 years to make, was based on patients' records from 367 general practices in the UK. The data showed that rofecoxib was the most likely to cause a serious GI problem – hardly a surprise, given that this drug was withdrawn in 2004, after a new clinical trial showed an increased risk of serious thrombotic events (including heart attack and stroke) with long-term use.
The safety risk was deemed slightly less for celecoxib, the only COX-2 selective NSAID left on the market after valdecoxib (Bextra), like rofecoxib, was recalled due to concerns over cardiovascular events. However, a recent study found that the patients taking this drug developed even more dyspepsia than those taking the conventional NSAID naproxen (Am J Med, 2005; 118: 1271-8).
In fact, the large number of COX-2 prescriptions – due, no doubt, to the avid promotion of their better tolerability – has been linked to the growing number of cases of GI haemorrhage (Prescrire Int, 2005; 14: 177-8).
Celebrex: the sole survivor
Celebrex was the first COX-2 to be approved, in 1998, by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The results of the CLASS (Celecoxib Long-Term Arthritis Safety Study) claimed that it caused fewer GI side-effects compared with the traditional NSAIDs. However, among patients given aspirin as a just-in-case medicine to prevent heart disease, those patients given celecoxib had similar GI problems (such as ulcers) as those given diclofenac and ibuprofen (JAMA, 2000; 284: 1247-55).
Then heart problems came to light. The Adenoma Prevention with Cele-coxib (APC) study, co-sponsored by the US National Cancer Institute and Pfizer, which makes the drug, revealed that patients taking 200 mg twice daily of the drug were nearly two and a half times more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke. This risk rose to 3.4 times with 400 mg twice daily. Needless to say, the authors recommended that the cancer study be discontinued before it had run its intended course (N Engl J Med, 2005; 352: 1071-80); also, for more evidence about celecoxib, see http://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/results/cox inhibitor-trials0205).
Even more damning for Pfizer, an unpublished study from 1999 had shown that elderly (Alzheimer) patients had four times the risk of a heart attack or stroke with the drug vs a placebo – a finding which only recently came to light.
A recent study of 2035 patients showed that Celebrex was associated with a dose-related, two- to threefold increase in death from cardiovascular causes, including stroke, heart attack and heart failure (N Engl J Med, 2005; 352: 1071-80). In terms of thromboembolic events (blood clots leading to stroke), Celebrex was no better than its banned sister Vioxx (Drug Saf, 2005; 28: 803-16).
Given these findings, a reconsideration of the cardiovascular safety profile of all NSAIDs – selective and non-selective – would seem warranted. Indeed, the FDA now recommends that all such drugs carry a 'black-box' warning for GI and cardiovascular risks (Curr Pain Headache Rep, 2005; 9: 377-89).

Rugby requires several disciplines in order to achieve peak performance. speed, power, strength, endurance and recovery are all vital to the top rugby player. The following products are recommended as the core of a good supplementation regime. All are used extensively by top rugby players to help them achieve these goals.
The most crucial time for all rugby players is the 30 minute window after a hard training session or match. During this time your body is flooded with the stress hormone cortisol, the muscles glycogen levels are heavily depleted and your body is in a catabolic state. High levels of cortisol cause your body to go catabolic. This means that your muscles are in effect being broken down even after you have ceased training or playing the match. Failure to halt this catabolism by blunted cortisol release will lead to poor recovery, fatigue, over training and will severely impair your performance going forward.
RecoverEX Extra and ISO Splash RecoverEx are research backed, scientifically engineered recovery formulas favoured by top athletes. They blunt cortisol release and refuel your muscle glycogen levels fast after training or matches. They also help repair damaged muscle tissue and help muscles to not only recover faster but grow stronger. Regularly using RecoverEX Extra or ISO Splash RecoverEx within 30 minutes of intense exercise will not only reduce DOMS (delayed onset muscle Soreness), the aching you experience the day after, but will aid your performance in the future by ensuring repaired muscle tissue regenerates stronger than before. RecoverEX Extra and ISO Splash RecoverEx include research backed amounts of protein, BCAAs, glutamine and fast absorption carbohydrates. RecoverEX Extra also contains Collagen Hydrolysates and Vitamin C for the normal function of bones and cartilage.
RecoverEX Extra and ISO Splash RecoverEx contain the finest Whey Protein , Glutamine Peptides, Leucine and Phenylanine. In research it was shown that approved amounts help repair muscles, allowing athletes to recover from strenuous exercise faster and more completely than protein alone.
They have been formulated with a precise, researched ratio of complex and simple carbohydrates which helps refuel glycogen levels and blunt cortisol, which is a major cause of catabolism (muscle breakdown) post exercise.
For those players who struggle to put on or maintain muscle and mass for Rugby, be that due to a fast metabolism or struggling to eat enough, Mass Attack Juggernaut is the product for them. It gives 650 calories and 57g protein per 150g serving. It also includes measured doses of Creatine, Beta Alanine, Taurine and Glutamine and also adds very large amounts of BCAAs, to help with recovery and muscle development.

"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Erotic Romance," by Alison Kent
Posted on October 24, 2006 by Heather — No Comments ↓
Pros: Frank, blunt, and straightforward; entertaining; eye-opening; thorough
Cons: Not a one
Review book courtesy of Alpha Books
Visit Alison Kent's website
Perhaps you'll indulge me in a tiny bit of personal history here. I haven't read a romance novel since I was quite young and mostly curious about them. I've bought into a lot of the stereotypes about them–that they're girly, or promote harmful fantasy views of relationships. I requested a review copy of Alison Kent's "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Erotic Romance" primarily out of curiosity; this was certainly one area of writing I knew little to nothing about.
After reading her book, my view of the genre has changed entirely. I gave in last night and went to Amazon to place an order for a few new books I want to read (I promise I'll review them eventually–in fact, maybe I'll start a romance category under the fiction reviews).
My understanding of the genre is so old that I had no idea that the romance genre had even sprouted an erotic subgenre that allowed for explicit sexual content. I still thought of romance books as teases–something that got you all hot and bothered and then shut you out of the actual "good stuff", as it were. While there's still plenty of romance to be found that follows that set of expectations, now you can find erotic romance as well.
However, lest you think it's about gratuitous sex, it's part of the definition of the genre that the sex has to further the plot and the character arc. It can't be tacked on. Sex is part of how the characters change, fall in love, explore themselves, and so on. But because it's an erotic romance rather than erotica, it's still about falling in love.
Warning: This should be obvious, but I'm going to make it very clear just in case. This book is about writing in a genre that includes explicit sex scenes. That means that this book contains material about writing explicit sex scenes. It isn't meant to be titillating in its own right, but it is frank and blunt and doesn't shy away from necessary detail and discussion.
Authoring erotic romances
Lest you think it's all fun and games, life isn't always easy for folks who write these books. This book includes some stories about interesting encounters authors have had with others regarding their work. The stares, the outrageous questions, the salacious offers, the sneers, the dismissive comments, and so on. You also can't just plunk some saucy scenes down on the page and call it an erotic romance–the genre has its own requirements and expectations, and there are a lot of good authors out there to compete with. There are also a lot of eager readers, however, so if you have a talent in this area, it might be a great genre to explore–if you can handle the reactions you're likely to get from friends and family!
Plenty of handy information
Alison Kent has a knack for writing; that much is obvious (in fact, I think I'm going to have to get my hands on some of her fiction!). She's thorough, informative, blunt, frank, and above all, entertaining; I never felt that she sacrificed one aspect for another. She's utterly comfortable with her subject matter, which makes her the perfect author to write about such a potentially sensitive topic.
The first part of the book is all about the genre–romances, erotic romances, love stories, storylines, audiences for different subgenres (such as paranormal, historical, fantasy, etc.), the role of sex in an erotic romance, and world-building. Yes, world-building, and it's a great section with some wonderful suggestions.
Part two is about story and plot. This includes information on various methods of plotting, establishing motives, goals, and conflict, and how you can assemble all of this into a coherent whole. In this section Ms. Kent takes a variety of writing topics and covers the general issues as well as the more specific needs of the erotic romance genre.
The third part discusses the emotional journey of your characters, which is one of the most genre-specific aspects in here. You'll find a ton of fantastic information on bringing your characters to life and the role of love in their development.
The fourth and fifth parts of the book cover different aspects of the sex in an erotic romance novel. One covers the role of sex in the plot and the characters' development, while the other covers the mechanics of writing explicit sex scenes. These sections did a wonderful job of addressing pretty much every question I could think of, and many I didn't. They cover the difference and relationship between sex and love in your plots, the need to make your sex scenes count, and building up sexual tension (as well as using sex scenes to up the tension even further afterward). There's plenty of material on writing what you're comfortable with, the language you use during your sex scenes, intimacy between reader and character, and the pros and cons of writing kinky material into your books. The book gets into some very nitty-gritty details, such as the question of whether or not to depict your characters having safe sex.
Finally, there's a big section on meeting your readers' expectations. This addresses not just what readers expect when they pick up a novel labeled "erotic romance", but also how the genre tends to be viewed by others and what it's really about. This book definitely opened my eyes in some areas. As Ms. Kent states, while it's true that many readers read romance novels for escapism and the happily-ever-after, it's also important to note that good erotic romance novels depict real, flawed people having problems and working through them–and that this can be a positive thing.
The appendices are much more useful than those in many books I've read, and not just as reference material. There's an appendix of erotica and erotic romance publishers, as well as some further resources and recommended reading in the genre. Most interestingly, however, there's a very fascinating "author roundtable discussion" in which a number of erotic romance authors answer various questions put to them.
I highly recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest in writing romance, erotic romance, or erotica–although the focus of the book is definitely erotic romance, writers of the other two types of story will find much of value here as well. It would also make a fascinating read for fans of the genre who want to know more about how it works and what their favorite authors do. The tips and hints are highly useful; the range of topics covered is extensive; and the author makes the book fun to read (not to mention extremely informative). I have a newfound respect for the genre now.

L'abbaye Notre-Dame de Chambon, disparue de nos jours, se trouvait à Mauzé-Thouarsais, dans le département des Deux-Sèvres, dans la région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Histoire de l'Abbaye

Géographie
C'est une abbaye bénédictine, fondée aux alentours de 1212, par le vicomte de Thouars Aimery VII. L'abbaye était placée à l'extrémité nord du Poitou, sur les limites de l'Anjou, à sept kilomètres de la ville de Thouars. Elle était bâtie dans la position la plus pittoresque, sur le sommet d'un coteau baigné par l'Argenton (rivière), elle tira son nom de la fertilité des terrains qui l'entouraient.

Fondation
Après avoir fondé l'abbaye aux alentours de 1212, le vicomte Aimery VII la dota de différentes rentes, puis lui céda plusieurs possessions qu'il possédait sur la commune de Mauzé-Thouarsais dont notamment Soulbrois, La Capinière et les Chenettes. Ces différentes donations furent faites pour le repos de l'âme du vicomte et de ses parents; on peut ainsi penser que ce furent les mêmes raisons qui le poussèrent à fonder l'abbaye de Chambon.

L'abbaye de Chambon se soumit à la règle de saint Benoit. Il n'y a pas de charte qui donne la date de la dédicace de l'église mais tout porte à croire qu'elle fut faite l'année même de la fondation. L'évêque Guillaume IV de Poitiers qui fut invité à Thouars le  par le vicomte Aimery VII, à la suite de la donation que le seigneur de Thouars fit à l'abbaye, se transporta certainement à Chambon pour remettre au premier abbé les reliques de la vraie croix que le monastère posséda pendant un grand nombre d'années.

Architecture
L'abbaye de Chambon ayant été abandonnée à la Révolution française, les bâtiments étaient presque entièrement détruits à la fin du .
En 1876, les constructions qui étaient encore debout n'offraient rien de remarquable ; on y observait un cloître carré anciennement orné de colonnes octogonales géminées  très basses, une église au midi, le réfectoire et les cuisines au nord, une salle capitulaire et le dortoir à l'est et le logement des religieux à l'ouest. On y observait également deux murailles au sud.
Au milieu du , les terrains furent vendus et les vestiges de l'ancienne abbaye furent reconvertis en habitation.

Les abbés de Chambon
Au cours des siècles, ce furent les moines eux-mêmes qui appauvrirent l'abbaye ; Le rédacteur de l'inventaire de l'abbaye déclarait : "L'abbaye n'a pas eu de plus cruels ennemis que ses propres religieux". La plupart des biens de l'abbaye furent également usurpés par les grands seigneurs des environs dont notamment la famille de la Trémoille.

Les désordres que dut connaître l'abbaye ne se limitaient pas au domaine financier. Dès 1548, la conduite des religieux laissa beaucoup à désirer sous le rapport des mœurs ; des arrêts de 1588 et 1597 du Présidial de Poitiers interdirent aux moines de loger dans leurs maisons aucune femme pour quelques causes que ce soit.

Liste des abbés
Grâce au Cartulaire de Chambon rédigé le  par les soins de l'économe Carouge, 30 abbés ont pu être découverts mais il existe une lacune entre l'année 1227 et 1365 où l'on ne retrouve aucune trace d'abbés. De 1227 à 1467 il n'y eut que des abbés réguliers à Chambon, après quoi se succéderont des abbés commendataires jusqu'à la Révolution de 1789.

 Raoul fut le premier abbé de Chambon en 1227.
 Guillaume Bernard fut un des exécuteurs testamentaires de Simon de Thouars, comte de Dreux. Il fut inhumé dans la chapelle du château d'Eu. Abbé en 1364.
 de 1365 à 1467 se  succédèrent : Geoffroi Bouciron, Guillaume Cheleve, Jean Cheleve, Ambrois de Grazay, Jean du Barrot, Simon Barnabé, Simon, Nicolas Galdair, Simon, Guy de Vernon qui fut un des bienfaiteurs de Chambon et le dernier abbé régulier de ce monastère.
 Pierre de Vernon, 1471-1517, abbé de la Trinité de Mauléon devint le premier abbé commendataire de Chambon. Il faisait partie de la maison d'Airvault. Dès son arrivée à l'abbaye, il restaura une partie des bâtiments. À la fin du  on retrouvait l'écusson de sa famille sculpté au-dessus de la porte d'entrée d'une cave.
 Jacques de Vernon, 1517-1521, compte tenu de la ressemblance de son sceau avec Pierre de Vernon, on suppose que ces deux abbés étaient frères.
 Jehan de Chambes, 1525-1543, il appartenait à la famille de Chambes-Montsoreau. Il était le frère de Philippe de Chambes et l'oncle de Jean de Chambes.
 Charles de La Trémoille, 1548, baron de Mauléon, de Marans et de Doué. Troisième fils du vicomte François de La Trémoille et d'Anne de Laval, il devint Protonotaire du Saint-Siège.

Vitamin C, a secret weapon to fighting diseases
The stronger your immunity, the higher your chances in fighting diseases, says an Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine Doctor
Dr. Mike Vergara
As we live in incredibly perilous days, we need to value our health even more, especially amid these uncertain times. But one particular vitamin can provide the added protection that you need—Vitamin C, which, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is an essential, the safest, and one of the most efficient medicines needed in maintaining your health.
Vitamin C is considered an essential medicine because it helps wounds heal faster and decreases the chances of chronic diseases like cancer. It is involved in repairing tissues and the enzymic production of certain neurotransmitters.
Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine Doctor Mike Vergara said that strengthening our immunity must be the focus amid the new normal, and Vitamin C can be a primary weapon in making it stronger and fighting diseases better.
"Vitamin C helps our immune system fight diseases, whether it is a bacterial or viral infection like cold or COVID-19. The best way to prevent yourself from getting sick is by focusing on your immune system. If it is strong, then you are far away from getting infected. Of course, there are many factors in strengthening your immunity, but intaking Vitamin C daily must be the core practice, even when you get vaccinated," Vergara said.
A Healthy Dose of Vitamin C
Suppose we want to experience the benefits of Vitamin C at its best. In that case, the recommended daily nutrient intake of vitamin C for adults is 70mg for males and 60mg for females, according to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI). However, Vergara said 3000mg of Vitamin C per day for an adult is the best, according to Nobel Award Winner Dr. Linus Pauling.
Vergara added that intaking at least 700mg per day already decreases the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 25 percent. A study from Pauling famously claimed that large doses of the vitamin help prevent cold. Scientific Journals from Biomolecules also showed that Vitamin C has the power to kill cancer cells or change how cancer stem cells behave.
Daily Vitamin C intake helps cleanse the body of harmful toxins, which is why diarrhea is a common side effect for taking too much of it, but the pros still outweigh the cons.
Vitamin C also has other perks: managing high blood pressure, reducing uric acid levels, preventing gout attacks, improving memory and thinking, and preventing iron deficiency. It also helps prevent scurvy, which is a result of vitamin C deficiency.
It can help make skin healthier since it stands as a precursor for collagen production. Vergara said that aging is all about inflammation and oxidation. That is why it is the perfect anti-aging nutrient because of its antioxidant effect.
"When finding where you can take a good dose of Vitamin C, you have to include it in your diet. Your body does not produce it on its own. Yes, the body can produce many important chemicals, hormones, and vitamins by itself but not vitamin C. We need to take it from outside sources like your diet or supplements," Vergara said.
The Richness of Vitamin C
For Vergara, it does not take much to have a healthy heart and immune system. "Practicing healthy habits like eating properly, exercising, taking away stress, and taking vitamin C daily. You don't have to take expensive medicine when you can take the nutrients from natural products like food and supplements with Vitamin C, which is very affordable and carry less to no side effects."
"The answer to solving all these diseases is in the food we take. God gave us the right to food, yet we are complicating our lives by trying to make and buy expensive medicines. We are creating our problems. Stick to proper nutrition and involve vitamin C and all green foods in our diet. That's our staple –our natural diet, the greens," Vergara said.
When looking for the perfect Vitamin C source, Vergara highly recommends the Daily-C of Santé, a premier natural and organic health and wellness product and services provider. Daily-C is is sodium ascorbate for easy and comfortable digestion, especially for sensitive individuals.
Daily-C now comes in 750mg variant in vegetable capsules, appealing to younger people living the vegetarian lifestyle. It also has a pH range of 7.00 to 8.00, making it safe for daily consumption. It gives an extra level of protection since it contains 843.64mg of Sodium Ascorbate, helping prevent and treat scurvy and vitamin C deficiency.
"We at Santé firmly believe that prevention is always better than cure. Daily-C is our way of helping everyone have a natural source for their vitamins and live a healthy lifestyle. We encourage everyone to take action now and manage your health and diet so nothing bad happens," said Santé CEO Joey Marcelo.
Daily-C is just one of the many other natural health and wellness products offered by Santé. Known for its flagship, Santé Barley™, the company has developed a comprehensive selection of everyday barley-based products. They are made with organic barley grass, as certified by BioGro, New Zealand's leading organic certification agency.

Now that SonicWall is, today, officially an independent company, with the completion of the acquisition of Dell Software Group by private equity firm Francisco Partners and Elliott Management, the channel-led company hopes to attract both old and new partners to the new SonicWall SecureFirst partner program, also launched on Tuesday. SonicWall also announced 30-year industry veteran Bill Conner as its president and CEO.
"On day one we're exclusively back to our channels," said Conner, who told us that the new SecureFirst partner program is a mix of the best from the vendor's old SonicWall Medallion Partner program and elements of the Dell PartnerDirect program.
While SonicWall will retain its direct-touch resources for key accounts, such as large enterprises, government, or distributed networks or campus environments, 100 percent of fulfillment is through the channel. The company historically has been known to have a tight and loyal relationship with its channel partners.
SonicWall has a traditional channel with about 10,000 partners, worldwide, according to Steve Pataky, vice president of worldwide sales at SonicWall, and for all intents and purposes the company's channel leader.
What partners will notice is a new SonicWall website and a new SecureFirst Partner Program portal. Partners will migrate into SecureFirst based on the existing level they are today – as part of the Dell PartnerDirect program – and move into a similar Gold, Silver and Platinum three-tier program structure.
Partners get to pick and chose the level that makes the most sense for their business and the level of commitment and investment they want to make.
"What we're doing that's unique is that we're not throwing up a bunch of new requirements – they're very consistent with what we had in the past – and we're giving them [partners] the balance of this year and all of 2017 to meet all of their requirements," Pataky explained.
In additional to the program's tiered structure, some other elements include: SonicWall deal registration; MDF; mySonicWall.com; SonicWall Security as a Service; technical and sales training; and, SonicWall Overdrive – for North American partners only, for example.
… competitive margins and deal-registration protection; reward for value; technical training and sales enablement; and, marketing and lead-generation support, the company said.
Conner also noted that SonicWall services and customer support will be a key area of focus for the company.
"It's tremendously important in our space especially for small business and mid-tier companies and distributed networks. Our products are world-leading but support is just as important as the product," he said. Services have been a focus for SonicWall over the past year, he added.
The new CEO also said that the company will double down on its firewall and next-generation features, its cloud-based, zero touch-based management system called GMS (Global Management System) and managed service providers (MSPs), as well as distributed network or campus environment, which he described as an underserved part of the market by SonicWall, and lastly, mobility and IoT.
Founded in 1991, SonicWall has gone through a number of public/private iterations over the years, the most recent as a Dell subsidiary from 2012-2016. SonicWall's focus is on cybersecurity threats and innovation in next generation network security, according to the company.
The new directors are charged with creating new partnerships and building a strategy for SecurityFirst's DataKeep.

Get in fast, free advice service urges Hunts firms
Published: 5:41 PM January 20, 2011 Updated: 4:20 PM November 1, 2020
HUNTINGDONSHIRE companies should get in quickly before free a Government-sponsored business advice service disappears later this year.
For many years experienced Business Link advisers have helped emerging companies survive and thrive by offering guidance and expertise that small business owners could not readily call on.
But as part of the national austerity programme the Government is set to pull the plug on Business Link as we know it on November 25, in spite of its spectacular track record of success.
Start-up businesses in eastern England that accept advice from Business Link are 30 per cent more likely to survive than those that try to go it alone, a recent independent survey found. Those that sought advice from the service when starting out had an 84 per cent survival rate beyond three years, compared with a 64 per cent national average for those that chose to go it alone.
This percentage increases even further, to 96 per cent, when in-depth support is provided by a Business Link adviser, Chris Parkhouse, the organisation's chairman told The Hunts Post.
Mr Parkhouse, managing director of Cambridge-based business development specialists Deyton Bell, who has been chairman of Business Link East since its creation in 2007, is urging SMEs to get in fast before the service becomes internet-based in late-November.
"It's important to remember that the current service, comprising one-to-one adviser support, tailored events and an in-region information advice service, will remain open until November 25.
"The Government's decision to streamline the regional service into one national offering comes at a time when purse-strings are being tightened to get the economy back on track.
"There's no question that our skilled and experienced team have delivered a consistently outstanding Business Link service to the region's businesses and entrepreneurs.
"Last year alone, over 3,500 new businesses were created with their help, leading to the creation of 5,626 new jobs, and 6,711 established businesses received one-to-one support from a Business Link adviser."
Firms should not hesitate, he stressed. "If there are businesses that are uncertain about what to do, they should contact Business Link as soon as possible while the current service is there. The ideas are the clients' but we can help them build on them."

I then add Gaussian noise to it to produce a realistic signal s(t). For a given frequency, I know the detector's sensitivity by taking the PSD of the detector's signal over a long time period. Should I Fourier transform s(t), convolve that with the PSD and then inverse FT the result to get the noise+systematics detector response?

New Kind of Kick < Dig Down > Thought Contagion
The music video for Dig Down, released May 18th, 2017, was directed by Lance Drake. The video was surrounded by hype after Muse released three BTS (Behind The Scenes) video over the span of two weeks leading up to the song and videos released. All BTS videos were under one minute, and showed brief snippets of the filming for the music video. In the first one, watch here, is simple, only having a countdown from five, and an explosion of some sort. The second one, watch here, shows the crew setting up something, and someone burning a shirt with a lighter, with a brief image of the "main character", portrayed by Lauren Wasser. Number three, the longest one, watch here, shows again Lauren Wasser, later doing a somersault. Following that, it shows Matt preparing for the shot of him with a moving metal sheet behind him, where he bobs back and forth, looking somewhat like Max Headroom, the fictional character.
When asked about the video, Lance Drake said "The song is about survival and fighting the odds – when I heard this song I knew I wanted to do an action-packed narrative..."

Flight of the Conchords es un dúo musical de comedia neozelandés compuesto por los músicos Bret McKenzie y Jemaine Clement. Se popularizaron con un show de comedia en vivo de Nueva Zelanda a principios de la década de 2000. La comedia y la música del dúo se convirtieron en la base de la serie de radio homónima de la BBC (2004) y luego de la serie de televisión estadounidense de HBO (2007-2009).

El dúo ganó tal fama que sus shows se consideran de culto y continúan de gira periódicamente. Fueron nombrados Mejores Actores de Comedia Alternativa en el Festival de Artes de Comedia de Estados Unidos de 2005 y Mejores Actores Revelación en el Festival de Comedia de Melbourne, y recibieron una nominación para el Premio de Comedia Perrier en el Festival Fringe de Edimburgo de 2003 por su espectáculo en The Caves de Edimburgo. Más recientemente, en 2018, lanzaron el especial de comedia en vivo de HBO Live in London. El especial fue lanzado simultáneamente por Sub Pop como su quinto álbum.

Anteriormente, se referían a sí mismos como "el cuarto dúo folklórico de digi-bongo a capella-rap-funk-cómico basado en guitarras más popular de Nueva Zelanda"; a partir de 2014, sin embargo, se refieren a sí mismos como "el cuarto dúo folclórico más popular de Nueva Zelanda que casi ha ganado premios".

Carrera profesional

1998-2006: primeros años
McKenzie y Clement eran compañeros de piso en la Universidad Victoria de Wellington, donde estudiaban cine y teatro antes de formar Flight of the Conchords en 1998. Actuaron por primera vez como parte de un grupo de cinco hombres llamado So You're a Man, que incluía a Taika Waititi y debutaron en el BATS Theatre de Wellington, obteniendo pocos seguidores pero leales en Nueva Zelanda y Australia.

La banda actuó por primera vez en televisión en Newtown Salad, un programa de la estación de televisión local de corta duración "Channel 7" de Wellington (más tarde rebautizado como "WTV"). Tocaron dos canciones en el episodio de estreno en 1999 y luego aparecieron durante cuatro noches en 2000 (3 a 6 de mayo); las canciones, en orden, eran "Bowie", "Ladies of the World", "Petrov, Yelyena and Me" y "Hotties".

Actuaron en el Festival Fringe de Edimburgo en 2002, 2003, cuando fueron nominados para el Premio Perrier, y 2004. También actuaron en el Festival Internacional de Comedia de Melbourne, donde ganaron el premio al Mejor Actor Revelación. Más tarde aparecieron en una campaña de 2004 para el minorista británico de teléfonos móviles Phones 4U y en el programa Stand Up! en ABC TV de Australia.

HBO le dio al grupo un especial en su serie de comedia de media hora de la noche del viernes One Night Stand. Luego encabezaron el fin de semana inaugural en el club de comedia Comix, donde grabaron dos pistas incluidas en The Distant Future de 2007.

Durante este período, tuvieron acuerdos de desarrollo de televisión con Channel 4 en el Reino Unido, NBC en los Estados Unidos y TVNZ en Nueva Zelanda, pero finalmente, no se produjeron programas. En 2006, actuaron en el South by Southwest Music Festival en Austin, Texas. Mientras estaban en Texas, grabaron un documental titulado Flight of the Conchords: A Texan Odyssey, que se emitió en TV3 de Nueva Zelanda a finales de 2006.

Serie de radio de la BBC
En 2004, la banda creó una serie de radio de seis partes para BBC Radio 2. En gran parte improvisada, la serie se emitió en septiembre de 2005 y se basó en la búsqueda de éxito comercial de la banda en Londres. Presentaba a Rob Brydon como su narrador, Rhys Darby como su mánager y Jimmy Carr como un devoto fan llamado Kipper. o para hacer fortuna, Rhys Darby interpreta a su mánager y llama a las reuniones de la banda, y muchas de las canciones se usaron más tarde en la televisión.

La serie BBC Radio 2 le valió al dúo el premio Bronze Sony Radio Academy Award por comedia.

2007-2009: serie de televisión de HBO y más aclamación

Serie de TV
El dúo protagonizó una comedia de televisión para HBO, titulada Flight of the Conchords, que se estrenó en los Estados Unidos en junio de 2007. La serie se estrenó simultáneamente en Canadá en The Movie Network y Movie Central, y también se mostró en The Comedy Network.

La serie gira en torno a una versión ficticia de la pareja mientras intentan lograr el éxito como banda en la ciudad de Nueva York y tratan de desarrollar una base de fans estadounidense.

2010-presente: reunión, giras y cine
En una entrevista con Vulture, Bret dijo que se estaban preparando planes para una gira de reunión en 2012 y que él y Jemaine estaban discutiendo una película de Flight of the Conchords. El 28 de noviembre de 2011 afirmó que se estaban haciendo esfuerzos para llevar al dúo de comedia folklórica a la gran pantalla: "Vamos a intentar hacer una película. Solo necesitamos una historia ". Sin embargo, HBO ha declarado que ellos mismos no tienen planes para tal película. En una entrevista publicada en Indiewire en agosto de 2015, Clement dijo que se estaba escribiendo una película de Flight of the Conchords, aunque indicó que aún se encuentra en las primeras fases.

El dúo actuó como estrella invitada como un par de consejeros de campamento en " Elementary School Musical ", el estreno de la temporada 22 de Los Simpson, que se emitió el 26 de septiembre de 2010.

Hunt Crossing the Field, c.1896
by Robert Bevan
Robert Bevan drew inspiration for subjects for painting from the countryside. He formed the habit of spending the summer on a painting trip in various rural locations such as a cottage called St Ives in Kingston near Lewes, Sussex), or in Russian Poland with his wife's family. His work at this time reflected his first-hand experience with recent French art during his travels on the continent. Oil paintings and watercolours of agricultural scenes of the South Downs or Poland provided motifs with which to explore his concerns with the effects of light and the use of colour. Philip Hendy (later Director of the National Gallery) claimed that Bevan was the first Englishman to use pure colour in the twentieth century and was the 'real pioneer' of the modern English school.

Robert Bevan was a British painter and lithographer. During the 1890s he travelled a good deal and he met Paul Gauguin at Pont-Aven in 1894. In 1900 he settled in London, where he became a member of Walter Sickert's circle (he was a founding member of the Camden Town Group in 1911 and of the London Group in 1913). His work was much influenced by Gauguin's bold colour and flat patterning, and in his last years his style became increasingly simplified and schematic.

Robert Polhill Bevan was the fourth child in a family of six born to Richard Bevan, banker in the firm of Barclay, Bevan, Tritton and Co. (now known simply as Barclays) and Laura Bevan (née Polhill). He resisted following his elder brothers into a career in the bank and having received drawing lessons at home with the artist Arthur Earnest Pearce (1859–1934), who later became a designer for Doulton's potteries, he studied art at the Westminster School of Art under the principalship of Frederick Brown, founder member of the New English Art Club and later to become Professor of the Slade School of Fine Art.
Although his upbringing was quintessentially English, Bevan formed important links with the continental avant-garde from early on in his artistic career. In the autumn of 1889, he undertook a year's study at the Académie Julian, one of many Parisian establishments that catered for art students from all over Europe. It was in Paris that Bevan was introduced to recent developments in French painting including the work of the 'Pont-Aven School', a colony of artists working in Brittany with Paul Gauguin. From the summer of 1890 until the autumn of 1891 Bevan visited Pont-Aven himself. His sketchbooks from this period are now in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
Financial support from his father initially freed Bevan from the necessity of earning a living and during his twenties he enjoyed a comfortable life indulging his two passions, painting and hunting. At the end of 1891 in the company of another artist, Joseph Crawhall, he travelled to Spain and then on to Tangier, Morocco, where he did not complete much work but principally enjoyed the fox hunting and racing season, acting as Master of the Hunt in 1892.
From 1893–4 he returned to Pont-Aven, during which time he met both Gauguin and Renoir, and became interested in lithography. On his return to England he lived a solitary existence on an isolated farmhouse at Hawkridge, Exmoor. For the next three years he divided his time between painting and hunting, combining the two in oils, watercolours or lithographs of agricultural landscapes and hunting scenes.
In July 1897 he met and fell in love with a Polish painter, Stanislawa de Karlowska, at a friend's wedding in Jersey.
In 1900, Bevan and his family moved to a large house in the Swiss Cottage area of London. Although he abandoned the paintings and lithographs of hunting scenes and never hunted again after his marriage, he still drew inspiration for subjects for painting from the countryside. He formed the habit of spending the summer on a painting trip in various rural locations such as a cottage called St Ives in Kingston near Lewes, Sussex), or in Russian Poland with his wife's family. His work at this time reflected his first-hand experience with recent French art during his travels on the continent. Oil paintings and watercolours of agricultural scenes of the South Downs or Poland provided motifs with which to explore his concerns with the effects of light and the use of colour. Philip Hendy (later Director of the National Gallery) claimed that Bevan was the first Englishman to use pure colour in the twentieth century and was the 'real pioneer' of the modern English school.
Bevan's paintings caught the attention of Harold Gilman and Spencer Gore and they invited him to join Walter Sickert's Fitzroy Street circle where he became a regular visitor. Although, at forty-three years of age, Bevan was over ten years older than Gore, Gilman and Charles Ginner, he was of a similar age to Sickert and Lucien Pissarro. Like the two older painters, he brought first-hand knowledge of modern French art to the group, having been one of the few Englishmen to have personally known and worked with Gauguin. In 1910 Bevan exhibited for the first time at the New English Art Club and in the following years was heavily involved in the formation and exhibitions of the Camden Town Group. His involvement with Sickert's circle began to be reflected in observations of everyday life from the Swiss Cottage area in which he lived. It was possibly Sickert who advised Bevan to exploit his love of horses in his work and it is these paintings of working horses in the cab and sale yards of Edwardian London for which Bevan is best remembered.
Despite his links to the city, Bevan always retained an air of the country gentleman about him and throughout his life he continued to spend his summers outside of London, in search of rural subjects. He was repeatedly drawn back to the Blackdown Hills on the borders of Devon and Cornwall where he produced work that was freer and simpler than in earlier years.

Women's Rugby Takes NSCRO Nationals
By MAX PADILLA
MICHAEL BORENSTEIN
Sam Valone '20.5 competes in the Middlebury 7's tournament on April 14.
This was a record season for the Middlebury College Women's Rugby Club. On Saturday April 6, they competed in the Rugby Northeast 7's tournament. The ladies tore up the field, winning three matches, allowing them to compete against one of the best teams in the nation: Bentley University.
The game was nerve-racking, the score tied until the last thirty seconds of the game. Unfortunately the Falcons stole the win, allowing them to steal a spot in the National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO) Championships.
Bentley dropped out, allowing the Panthers to compete in NSCROs on April 27-28.
The team went to Pittsburgh for the championship. The Northeast Tournament (national qualifiers) was their first tournament of the season. The team had only eight practices to prepare for the tournament, most of the other qualifying schools had their lineups set for months. Co-captain Ellen Colton '19 recalled that the going to the championship was "exciting, rewarding, and gave us an amazing opportunity to learn from some of the best teams in the country." Even competing in the tournament meant a lot to the team, Colton continued, "I'm really proud of the team for learning from each match we played and then putting those things into practice, which resulted in us winning both of our matches on the second day of the tournament and finishing 13th overall. We support each other on and off the pitch and I think you could feel that in every match." As she leaves the school and the team, Colton hopes that this will encourage the club to keep pushing itself. Despite their lack of school resources and experience, they are clearly still able to hold their own on a national level.
This experience meant everything to the Panthers: "Even if we didn't place first, we all felt like winners walking off the field" said Megan Salmon '21, rising forwards captain. As a leader of the team, she's excited for what's to come. "We have a lot of young talent to work with and this trip to nationals just proved that this was only the beginning for MCWRC," she said. The championships seemed to light a fire in some of the younger members, first year Miriam Weathers says the end of their season, "felt like such a reward. I think that it will definitely make the team work harder, going into the future. We all want to qualify again, for sure."

LEAD… "The only class you need to take." A few still remember those weeks spent with the same cohort of students. Given all that has been happening since, who can blame us for forgetting the details? Since it overlapped with Orientation+ (or at least started around the same time), most students perceived LEAD and the leadership development as nothing more than an introduction to the classroom setting.
Well, not quite. Every year Booth welcomes 600 new MBAs-to-be with the LEAD program, sorting them into cohorts with names no one understands.
Stuart – Harold L. Stuart, an American financier and early investment banker, whose role in establishing Chicago as a financial center was instrumental.
Gargoyles – The University of Chicago's mascot.
Davis – Harry Davis, founder of the LEAD program in 1989.
Harper – William Rainey Harper, the first president of the University of Chicago.
Bond – Joseph Bond, a trustee for the Baptist Theological Union, predecessor of the Divinity School at the University of Chicago.
Nobel – Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize and inventor of, among other things, dynamite.
Rockefeller – John D. Rockefeller, whose donation of ~$600,000 at the time ($16 million in today's dollars) kick-started the University of Chicago in 1892.
Maroons – The University of Chicago's main color.
Walker – George C. Walker, a real estate mogul in the late 1800s, was a member of the first Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago and major donor in the first years of the institution. Initially, Walker wanted to sell the land in Morgan Park for the university to settle its main campus.
The responsibility of the management of these cohorts falls on the shoulders of facilitators, second year students who enrolled in the Leadership Lab (the equivalent for leadership of the Strategy Lab, or the Private Equity Lab). The LEAD program is unique in that it is the only two quarters class. Forty students, biased by self-selection, have a chance to become friends on and off campus, working together and having fun. It is as much laughs as as it hard work, and very much worth it.
Because of how it is framed, we tend to think of LEAD as a program centered around the first year students, when the facilitators are the ones who reap most of the benefits. Facils sign up for an experiential class, working together for months. The deliverable is the LEAD program of the following year, but the actual learning and the experiential material come way before, during the weekly ten hours of class time facilitators have to go through (and you thought Micro with Murphy was taxing!). This is to say, the bulk of the learning and work is reserved for those who choose to take the class, and the program that everyone has to go through is just the tip of the iceberg.
LEAD is an exceptional experience that extends beyond the classroom in that it develops skills and behaviors, useful in general, invaluable in group settings, both professionally and personally. As facils, we engage in discussions and debates twice a week for a couple of quarters. That is the real benefit of the lab class. To keep it current, Facils develop the LEAD content, not the professors or the administration. Having to compromise and agree on so many levels and on so many practical matters encourages self introspection and provides insight into other students' perceptions of oneself. This is not the faculty teaching us leadership, it's us understanding who we are in order to evolve organically into what we want to become. If I had to summarize LEAD it in one concept, it would be self-actualization, the fulfillment of one's potential.
The office of Leadership Development works year round on a variety of programs, in addition to the LEAD class, to help students grow as individuals. One can hardly tell since the fine team running these programs is mostly invisible to the majority of students; a clear example would be that Chris Collins, Associate Dean for Leadership Development, addresses every class at the very start of the LEAD program, only to disappear into the fog of the C level of Harper Center. There, Chris directs a team of coaches dedicated to planning and running programs at Booth and coordinating the LEAD Facils through the content of the class. In his own words, his main purpose at school is "to create and sustain an impactful portfolio of developmental offerings for Booth students", a huge part of which is the LEAD program.
The LEAD coaches oversee the proper implementation of each of the modules within the LEAD class as well as create and run a variety of programs along the year. The Day, Golden Gargoyles, The Leadership Challenge and The Hard Sell are optional programs, but their success is unmatched, as every year demand for them grows and attendance increases.
In summary, LEAD is an amazing program that looks slim on the outside, but it is very deep on the inside. Its main purpose is to provide leadership knowledge via a 2-quarter class for those who take it, and its reach is such that everyone at school gets a taste of it. But not only is it an excellent program, it also provides a platform in which 40 very diverse people every year come together to form true friendships, and an impact upon the entire Chicago Booth class every single year.
Rafael Tuachi '17, is a regular Chicago Business contributor and LEAD Facil to the class of 2018. May the Heavens guard us all! Also, Rafa would like to thank the LEAD office and particularly Chris for being an awesome sport about the info provided in this article. We could all use a little bit of Chris Collins' wisdom in our lives… let's get LEADing!

Q: Proof of relationship between lax pairs and zero curvature I was going through a proof in some integrable systems lecture notes about the relationship between lax pairs and zero curvature. The proof starts as follows:
Let $ Lf = \lambda f $, where $ L $ is a self-adjoint linear operator, $ \lambda (t)<0 $ is a simple eigenvalue, and $ f(x,t) $ is a function. Suppose also that $ L_t=LA-AL=[L, A] $, where the subscript is a partial derivative with respect to time $ t $, and $ A $ is another linear operator. From the proof of the isospectral flow theorem, we have $ 0=\lambda_t f= (L-\lambda )(f_t+Af) $, and hence $ f_t+Af=c(t)f $ for some function $ c(t) $ which is independent of $ x $,  We can then apply an integrating factor to deduce that there exists $ \hat{f}(x,t) $ which satisfies $ L\hat{f}=\lambda \hat{f} $ and $\hat{f}_t + A\hat{f}=0 $...
I can't see how using an integrating factor gives us this $ \hat{f} $. I've been able to obtain $$ \exp\left(\int^t \left(A(t')-c(t')\right) \mathrm{d}t'\right)f(x,t)=h(x) $$ for some function $ h(x) $, but I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

A mixed-methods research study exploring the impact of community based post-release support: methodology and preliminary findings
What is the efficacy of long-term, holistic, case-work driven, community based reintegration and post-release support? This paper will outline the preliminary findings from a two-year mixed-methods research study into the outcomes and experiences for clients of the Community Restorative Centre (CRC). There are five components of the research that this paper will unpack.
1. A retrospective data analysis for all clients who participated on CRC programs between 2014 and 2017 utilising NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics (BOCSAR) data to track contact with the criminal justice system.
2. A matched comparison study with the UNSW MHDCD linked dataset to explore outcomes for clients with mental health diagnoses and cognitive disability.
3. Qualitative in-depth interviews with current CRC clients and staff
4. Tracking health and well-being of existing clients via administration of the of Substance Use Recovery Evaluator (SURE) survey
5. A cost-benefit analysis of CRC programs.
In 2018, CRC (in partnership with the University of New South Wales) successfully applied for funding from NSW Health to conduct an evaluation of CRC programs to be carried out over two years. The impetus for conducting this research was a desire to both better understand the outcomes for CRC clients post participation in programs, but also to more comprehensively document and evaluate specific aspects of the service delivery design. Community sector organisations are required by funding bodies to provide evidence as to the efficacy of their programs, but are rarely resourced to adequately do this. It is frequently also the case that research design and data collection is driven by funding body requirements, which are not always compatible with, or meaningful to, people who are delivering the services, and more significantly, people who are using them. This research study is our approach to using quantitative and qualitative methodologies to build a comprehensive picture of the impact and outcomes for people leaving custody who receive support via CRC.
