Trinity Alumni Changing the Face of Austin
As the state capital of Texas, Austin is known for its vibrant nightlife, rapid growth, and unique musical scene.
The city is also just 70 miles north of Trinity University, the No. 1 university in Texas, and home to more than 2,000 Tiger alumni. Find out how these alumni are changing the face of Austin through nonprofit advocacy, health care, energy, tech, and education.
Darsh Singh '08
Managing Partner, Hazoor Partners
Investor Darsh Singh, along with his oldest brother, Harpreet, has launched a firm that focuses on the values of service and giving. His parents built a business with the idea that business can be a force for good, and the two brothers are carrying it forward into the next generation through their own business.
Hazoor invests in niche assets, including carbon credits and loans to law firms that fight for issues such as gender pay equality, and on a smaller scale, the world of cryptocurrency.
"We want to build conscious cultures around the idea of what money means to our lives," Singh says. "Money can be a tool for good or for bad, so really our goal is to help people feel connected and purposeful when they do have the privilege of having access to resources."
At Trinity, Singh majored in engineering science, served as the captain of the basketball team—where he was the first Sikh-American player to compete in a turban during an NCAA basketball game—and was a resident mentor. He also loved playing flag football and "had a blast" competing in Hallympics, a decades-old Trinity tradition that pits residence halls against each other in volleyball, kickball, and trivia.
Jerold McDonald M'08
Co-Founder, Omaiven Health
Omaiven's signature product, an SMS texting chatbot called askMia, allows patients to communicate with their doctors' offices using native language, text slang, and even emojis.
"The future of healthcare is all about inclusion, letting patients be who they are," McDonald says. "Our AI chatbot increases access for the underserved at health clinics across the nation."
McDonald earned his master of science from Trinity's health care administration program (HCAD), which has produced CEOs, COOs, and other leaders at hospitals across the country.
At Trinity, McDonald was his HCAD class president and enjoyed playing intramural football. He actually suffered a leg injury from the sport that gave him a firsthand look into health care from the patient perspective. McDonald says he can't dunk on you anymore, but he's still active.
Erica Anthony-Benavides '06
Founder, The Second Home School for Personalized Learning
Anthony-Benavides runs a small but growing non-profit that provides tutoring to disadvantaged students.
"I want to have a place for people who are considered 'atypical,' who are typically left out, to have a place where they can explore learning, express their ideas, and exercise their imagination," Anthony-Benavides says.
At Trinity, Anthony-Benavides majored in physics, was a member of Black Student Union and the Latino Exchange, and loved playing intramural soccer. As a musician, she loves bossa nova, punk rock, and jazz, and can sing and play acoustic guitar and upright bass.
Alan Toscano '16
Founder and CEO, Dream Big Live Tiny Co.
Toscano's website has created a community where tiny home enthusiasts can network, share successful tips, and explore the tiny home lifestyle.
"I've just had this fascination with people 'downsizing' their living spaces," Toscano says. "People are downsizing material possessions, downsizing the space in their homes, but it's a movement that has created a 'bigger' community."
Toscano first discovered the idea for his business at Trinity, where he majored in finance and enjoyed taking classes in the entrepreneurship program.
Scott Tinker '82
CEO, Tinker Energy Associates
Tinker is an acclaimed speaker, filmmaker, professor, and geologist who advocates for sustainable, practical energy solutions. He's created a series of free, nonpartisan films about energy's past, present, and future, shown in classrooms and lecture halls around the world.
"Sometimes, I feel students I work with have a sense of hope being gone," Tinker says. "But hope is not gone; hope is alive and well, and that's the underlying message."
At Trinity, Tinker majored in geology and is one of 11 family members who have attended the University.
Heather Brunner '90
CEO & Chairwoman, WP Engine
Tech executive Heather Brunner runs WP Engine, which provides managed WordPress hosting for mission-critical sites around the world.
"Working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment is like running a marathon," she explains. "You have to prepare, be tenacious, and pace yourself."
During her tech career, Brunner has led companies ranging from global organizations such as Accenture and Oracle to startups such as Bazaarvoice, which she helped grow into a publicly-traded company. She has experience in marketing, finance, sales, business development, customer services, R&D, and technical operations, and she also serves on a number of nonprofit boards and is a mentor at Capital Factory, an Austin startup incubator.
"I aspire to lead a life with purpose, to go after big opportunities, and seek ways to contribute to the greater good," Brunner says. "My hope is that via my actions, I can inspire others to do the same."
At Trinity, Brunner studied business administration and economics, represented her class as student senator for three years, and was named homecoming queen in 1987.
Matt Swinney '98
CEO, Fashion X
Swinney's company, Fashion X, creates world-class fashion events. Their headlining initiative, Austin Fashion Week, is the largest fashion industry event in Texas and the fourth-largest of its kind in the United States.
"We have such a deep impact on so many young fashion designers," Swinney says. "I get excited about helping these young designers achieve their dreams. We get them connected to the right people, and they discover that they can do this as a career."
At Trinity, Swinney majored in business administration, with concentrations in marketing and international business. He played baseball as a first-year, was elected an ASR senator as an upperclassman, and also served as a student ambassador. Swinney is married to fellow grad Kara (Tingley) Swinney '98, a psychology major who works in physical therapy for an Austin preschool that fully integrates kids with disabilities.
Cami Hawkins '95
CEO, Marathon Kids
Hawkins leads Marathon Kids, a nonprofit that aims to put kids on a path to a healthier life through running. Marathon Kids starts its 25th season in 2020. Though it began in Austin, it is now a nationwide organization with about 90,000 kids running in the program.
"I'm passionate about health care and kids, so this position is a perfect role for me to give back to the community," Hawkins says. "Through running, we're finding health care solutions that have a direct impact on the next generation."
"If I could achieve the big dream, a vision of all kids being active and healthy, obviously that would put ourselves out of business, but in a great way," Hawkins says.
Hawkins earned her master's degree from Trinity's on-campus health care administration program.

Melatonin is a hormone, which is involved in the control of the circadian rhythm, but also acts as an antioxidant and immune modulator. Previous studies reported decreased salivary and serum melatonin levels in periodontitis. This prospective cohort trial assessed the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on melatonin levels.
Salivary and serum samples of 60 participants (30 patients suffering from a severe generalized form of periodontitis, 30 healthy controls) were collected at baseline and 19 samples of periodontitis patients after treatment. Salivary and serum melatonin levels were determined by a commercially available ELISA kit and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) by a routine laboratory test.
At baseline, periodontitis patients showed significantly increased serum CRP values and significantly decreased salivary melatonin levels compared to the control group. Clinical periodontal parameters significantly correlated with salivary melatonin levels and serum CRP. Periodontal therapy resulted in a recovery of the decreased salivary melatonin levels and a negative correlation was detected for the changes of salivary melatonin and the inflammatory parameter bleeding on probing. Serum melatonin levels showed no significant differences.
Salivary melatonin levels recovered after periodontal therapy and correlated with a decrease of local periodontal inflammation. This may imply the local involvement of melatonin in the pathogenesis of periodontitis due to its antioxidant abilities. However, the exact role of melatonin in periodontal disease remains to be investigated in future trials.
The present results suggest salivary melatonin as a risk indicator for the severity of periodontal disease.

Q: Pregunta formulario Tengo varios formularios, que cuando se les hace submit, envian sus datos (:radio) a una función que se encarga de comprobar que todos los radios de ese formulario en cuestión estén seleccionados.
En la función, se le asigna a una variable cual es el formulario en cuestión (viene de una función que comprueba cual es la propagación del evento).
Os dejo un fragmento de la función:

    }

    //var opciones = formAValidar.('radioButtons');
}

Mi pregunta es: En la última linea de código (que está mal, pero imagino que debe ser algo similar a eso), como puedo seleccionar los radio buttons de un formulario que ha sido guardado en una variable?!
Siento si es una pregunta simple, pero realmente no se como se hace y de verdad agradecería una ayuda.

Target in Trouble (Again); This Time for Hazardous Waste Dumping
December 17, 2018 By Lynn Fugaro Leave a Comment
It's quite surprising sometimes how forgiving Americans can be because Target, one of the country's most beloved retail giants, is in trouble again—this time for allegedly dumping hazardous waste illegally over the course of two years from 2012 to 2014. Yet, Target continues to rake in billions of dollars a year, and it remains, especially this time of the year, one of America's favorite places to shop.
Minnesota-based Target Corporation has agreed to pay a $7.4 million settlement in California for allegedly disposing of batteries, light bulbs, medical waste, and other environmentally hazardous materials improperly in landfills in California. The lawsuit, which stems from allegations that the retail giant violated a $22.5 million stipulated judgment from 2011 over similar allegations of improper disposal of hazardous retail waste, alleges the illegal dumping occurred over the two-year period of 2012 to 2014.
The terms of the settlement, which were approved in Alameda County Superior Court, indicate that Target will pay $3.2 million in civil penalties and spend at least $3 million to conduct "three annual inspections and audits to ensure the company's facilities are in compliance with rules regulating the dumping of hazardous materials in the state of California." Target Corporation is also ordered to pay $900,000 in attorney's fees and costs associated with investigation and enforcement activities, and the San Diego County District Attorney's Office will receive $300,000 in civil penalties and $43,330 in enforcement costs.
History of Legal Woes
Legal trouble is no stranger to Target; here's a reminder of what Target has dealt with in the not too distant past: In late May 2017, Target was ordered to pay $18.5 million to 47 states and Washington, D.C. as part of a settlement with state attorneys general over a massive security breach that compromised the data of millions of customers. The settlement ended a several years long investigation into how computer hackers obtained names, credit card numbers, and other personal information about tens of millions Target shoppers beginning in 2013.
In April 2018, Target agreed to pay $3.74 million and review its policies for screening job applicants to settle Carnella Times et al. v. Target Corp. This class action lawsuit in the Southern District of New York challenged Target's use of background checks, claiming the retail store's use of criminal background checks for hiring purposes violated Title VII by disproportionally excluding applicants who were Black and Hispanic from employment at New York area Target stores.
In August 2015, Target agreed to pay $2.8 million to resolve a discrimination charge investigated by the Minneapolis Area Office of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC found reasonable cause to believe that three employment assessments formerly used by Target disproportionately screened out applicants for exempt-level professional positions based on race and sex and violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Breaking the Gender Binary...Through Perfume?

Michael Musto on Why Miley Cyrus Is 'a Twerker and Appropriater'
Jaden Smith and the Celebrities Smashing Gender Norms
by Natalie Nonken | September 1, 2016 at 3:00 PM
Jaden Smith talked to Variety about his fashion line, which is all about gender neutral fashion. Smith described his clothing to Variety as being for "the girl that wants to be a tomboy or the boy that wants to wear a skirt, and people try to condemn. We're here for you. Tell us your stories. If someone at your school's trying to pick on you, it doesn't matter because Jaden Smith's got your back."
Gender neutral fashion is an important part of breaking gender stereotypes and creating a culture of acceptance from women, men, and those who do not identify as either. Feeling comfortable in one's own gender identity is necessary for self-esteem and body acceptance.
Smith is not the only celebrity who has recently been breaking gender norms. Here are a few of our favorite celebs breaking the binary.
Rose has risen to fame with her role on Orange is the New Black. She describes herself has "gender fluid" and "gender neutral." Her style is neither traditionally feminine nor traditionally masculine.

Eddie Izzard
Comedian Izzard identifies as transvestite and wears "feminine" clothing, high heels, and makeup. He sometimes refers to himself as transgender but primarily doesn't feel the need to identify as either gender.
Cyrus describes herself as gender-fluid and dresses in clothing that is not traditionally feminine. She is also an advocate for LGBT rights and encourages members of the community to share their stories on Instagram with #InstaPride.
A photo posted by Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus) on Jul 21, 2016 at 6:44pm PDT
Gaga has been known to make shocking fashion choices. She has also dressed in drag as an alter-ego, Jo Calderone. In addition, Gaga dressed as David Bowie for a tribute at the Grammy awards this year.

Q: Question regarding countable groups with discrete space manifold structure Good evening !
I am studying mathematical Gauge theories from the book from Mark J.D. Hamilton's book on mathematical gauge theory.
The introduction in this book is about Lie groups and Lie algebras. I got stuck on the following example :
"Every countable group $G$ with the manifold structure as a discrete space, i.e. a countable union of isolated points, is a $0$-dimensional Lie group, because every map $G\times G \rightarrow G$ is smooth (locally constant)."
I know what a countable group is, and I think I do understand the "with the manifold structure as a discrete space" part. ( I imagine it as a mesh of points (g,h)/ g,h $\in$ $G$ and at each point we have $g+h$ / $+$ is the group operation)
However, I am having a hard time understanding the smoothness of such a structure (which I imagine as being a discrete 2D surface in a 3D space).
I would appreciate it if someone can better clarify the example to me.
(Or recommend a book that is useful for self-studying Lie groups and Lie algebras)
P.S. I am a physics student (this is why I didn't use a lot of technical terms), however I am highly interested in mathematics and I might continue later on in the domain of mathematical physics !
Thanks in advance
Edit : I would also appreciate it if someone could give me an example of a $0$-dimensional Lie group


This week's "Product We Love" is San-J's line of Tamari Sauces.
If you asked me a month ago the difference between soy sauce and Tamari sauce, I honestly couldn't give a correct answer. Now, I find out that traditional soy sauce contains about 50% soy and 50% wheat, while Tamari is made with 100% soy. In fact, San-J Tamari is 100% Certified Gluten Free.


Jewelry design evolves from exactly two things: Idea and Technique. I personally find Idea the more difficult of the two, so we'll leave that quietly in its corner for now. Impudent children, those ideas of ours! So we'll turn our attention towards Technique for now, at least until I'm bored or you're bored and we're both mutually basking in the soft glow and subtle warmth of our brains melting into a single pool of energy at our feet.
Now, I'm often asked, when questioned about my process, how I get started, and my answer is usually (and simply put) "With a weave". But don't get too excited. This isn't a how-to for the pendant pictured. However, I felt it was a good example of types of weave, how they are implemented and how they compliment one another in a single design, which are all things derived from the skills learned in "Types of Weave: Introductory Instruction Part Two".
This tutorial (please note this is not the free Tuesday Treasure Hunt Tutorial) was simply too involved to include in-post, so you can find it nestled on its own page, with seventeen glorious pages of images and written direction, all in a single free PDF download. It includes three two-wire weaves, a three, four and five-wire weave, though don't feel confined! I hope you'll muster up the courage to experiment, have fun, try the three and five-wire weaves with four, six, ten wires! Shape the weaves, practice, gain a real understanding of how the wires move in relation to one another, how they move in relation to a design, and how the fit your style, whether emerging or established.
Feel free to share this tutorial with others and spread the creative love. I only ask for a bit of kindness in return. A gentle wink wink nudge nudge in my general direction (or, you know, in the form of some intimate link love) is always appreciated.
Most importantly, have fun and happy weaving!
Thanks for this tutorial, Nicole.
Is there a " Introduction to Wire Wrapping: Types of Weaves" part 1?
How do you keep the wires from changing color? When I work with wires at the beginning its shining and beautiful but after a while it changes colors.
If it's raw copper, it will naturally continue to oxidize and will need to be treated regularly (especially if its worn regularly) with something like Renaissance Wax. But there is no permanent solution to keep it the same color without a little work. Even copper with the tarnish-resistant coating will wear off with time. So it just requires some additional TLC.
I was thrilled to find you on UTube. You are so kind to over ideas and share designs with us. I really appreciate the time you put into doing this. I look forward to more inspiration!
Thank you soo much for sharing your talent...i am a big fan of your designs.
Thank you for the tut, I am hoping I can get out of my rut which is pretty severe, I start something and then I find that I am just staring at it. This looks great and fun. Thanks again.

How well do you understand what happens to your patients after they leave the ICU?
Do you find out how they go and feed this back to your ICU team?
Most of you give excellent care to your patients whilst they are in the intensive care unit. No doubt this will be compassionate, appropriate, diligent, information-driven, holistic, team-based and communicative care.
But when they leave the ICU, do you know what happens to them? Do you know if they actually leave the hospital? Do you know how they sleep, how long they remain confused for? What their final diagnosis on hospital discharge was?
This is what A/Prof John Santamaria genuinely cares about. This is what he endeavours to find out. He is curious. John wants to know these things so he can better inform his patients before they leave the ICU and so he can keep his team up to date with what happened. Of course, much of it is straightforward. The lady with pneumonia gradually got better and went home. The old man who had the laparotomy remained confused for 10 days, and then gradually became well enough to go off to rehabilitation. But sometimes there are surprises. The woman you thought had a simple urinary tract infection actually developed a secondary pneumonia in the ward and died after the treating team deemed another round of ICU to be inappropriate. The man with the acute pulmonary oedema who rapidly responded to CPAP but then developed a pulmonary embolism out on the ward.
I know I could do better at understanding these things. It's not that I'm not curious, it's more that I get busy with the new patients, or the other jobs I have. Or recording the next podcast! I think after listening to this episode of Mastering Intensive Care with John Santamaria, you might think a bit about following up your ex-ICU patients more carefully.
John is Director of Intensive Care at St Vincent's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. He trained both at St Vincent's and Royal Melbourne Hospitals, in respiratory and intensive care medicine. After completing a doctorate of medicine on the control of breathing and postdoctoral studies in Vancouver, Canada, he returned to St Vincent's in 1985. John has been a past chair of the Victorian branch of ANZICS and President of ANZICS. He currently chairs the Victorian Intensive Care Data Review Committee. His interests include mechanical ventilation, performance monitoring, clinical outcomes and clinical informatics.
My genuine hope with this podcast is to inspire and empower you to bring your best self to work and to consider adopting some of the habits and behaviours my guests give their perspectives on, with the ultimate purpose of improving outcomes for all of our patients. Please help me to spread the message by simply emailing your colleagues, posting on social media or rating and reviewing the podcast.
Thanks for listening on the journey towards mastering intensive care.

I forgot I was working on this so here, have some hastily thrown together tiles.
FREE TO USE AND EDIT for NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.
Excellent additions to your gallery Thank you for doing more building kits, I wish you'd do more of them in the larger scale seen in your other tilesets <3 The forest border is certainly an interesting one, and one I'm excited to see how you evolve it! your tilesets are the best out there!
IMO Best tile maker ever. Your style is just beautiful. It's art.
God, this is really amazing.
Your style is unique and that is what makes you stand out. Keep it up!
Ground walls are very nicely done, I especially like the underwater ones. Might be using these!
That's impressive looking. But there is no animation for the water ? I don't mention the waterfall since it's here.
No, that would be a lot of work. More work than I care to take on right now.
Seriously though, this is amazing!


There are many ways that you can lose weight through choosing a weight loss plan. However, there are some weight loss plans which are better than other weight loss plans. Finding the best weight loss plan is essential for you to effectively lose weight.
We are going to look at some of the best weight loss plans out there for you. You can decide which one is right for you and which one that you want to adopt to acquire the best weight loss plan for you. There are many weight loss plans out there, having a good and consistent weight loss plan is important for you to achieve your weight loss goals.
There is no right or wrong way to have a weight loss plan. What works for you might not work for other people and what works for other people, might not work for you. Therefore, instead of applying a weight loss plan that other people use, use a weight loss plan that you know that will work for you.
Your weight loss plan should be one which will not only work for you but will revolve around your daily schedule and day-to-day activities. It also should be a plan that is lengthy. Some plans last only 7 days, but these are quick rich schemes that result to nothing.
You have to avoid diets which promise you that you will lose your desired weight in a week or two. Although you can lose weight in this time frame, lasting and effective weight loss takes weeks to reach. You will probably have to lose weight over a ten week or a twelve week period, this will be the most effective way to lose your weight.
Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. This goes for weight loss programs too - if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Losing weight does require effort and time on your part, therefore, losing weight won't come without using dedicated time and effort.
A good weight loss plan is making a weight loss plan that consists of 12 weeks. This 12 week gives you the time to see the desired effects, it gives you enough time to lose the weight that you need and want to lose. Nothing worth it comes without the time needed to dedicate to it, keep that in mind as you go forward.
Taking the time of losing weight over 12 weeks, also makes sure that you are losing weight at a safe pace. Your safety should be kept in mind as you lose weight, never starve yourself or go without meals, that is unhealthy. If you feel unwell while losing weight, stop, eat well and go and see the doctor.
Besides that, pacing yourself over the 12 weeks, will and should help you lose the weight you need and want in a safe manner.
Change your diet. Eating more healthy, fruit and vegetables. Cutting out fatty food and sugary foods. You don't need to cut out all fatty foods and sugary foods, you just need to eat them in a healthy way, balance it out with other, healthier foods. This will give you a balanced diet, along with having some snacks which are a bit on the unhealthy side.
Eating unhealthy food is not necessarily the problem with weight, it is eating too much unhealthy food, alongside eating healthier food, will give you a balanced diet. Having a balanced diet is important for losing weight and keeping a healthy weight. You should keep that in mind with your 12-week weight loss plan.
To get started on your weight loss plan, you will first have to do a little bit of thinking. Write down how much weight you want to lose. How you are going to lose that weight, hobbies, exercise and the food you eat, will determine how you will lose that weight. Next, write down some goals each day that you should achieve. Work out a 12-week planner to achieve your goals.
What will you do each day to achieve weight loss?
What kind of food and drink are you going to eat each day?
How can you stay fit and healthy on your diet plan?
When will you know you've achieved your goals?
How will you reward yourself? What will you reward yourself with when you have achieved your goals?
These are just some of the questions that you should ask yourself when you are creating a 12-week plan. You are going to need to be self-motivated, especially when you can't be bothered. Being self-motivated will be hard at the beginning of the 12 weeks. However, by the second week, you should be getting into it and it should become second nature to you.
Finally, before you start on 12 weeks, you should weigh yourself. This will give you an indication of how much you weigh. Have your desired weight was written down, as well as your actual weight right now. Every day, record your weight. You won't get a good feel for how much weight you are losing until a few weeks in, then it should start to become more noticeable to you.
Losing weight should have goals, goals are required for you to achieve your desired weight loss. Without goals and a plan, it is unlikely that you will achieve your weight loss. It's very important to keep a daily planner, that way, you can record the weight you're losing and it gives you something to motivate yourself.
You can also motivate yourself by giving yourself a reward at the end of each goal achieved. Say you want to watch a new TV show at the end of a goal, write down that as a reward. It will give you an incentive to achieve your goal.

Apple's iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c To Launch With Japan's NTT DoCoMo
by Joe White
Besides the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and China, Apple is set to bring its iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c handsets to Japan on Sept. 20, and in doing so will make its smartphones available with the country's largest wireless carrier, NTT DoCoMo. Indeed, previous rumors had both pinpointed the Sept. 20 date, and Apple's deal with DoCoMo. As such, though the iPhone's relationship with China's largest carrier China Mobile remains uncertain, Apple's expansion in Asia is set to flourish in Japan. Kaoru Kato, president and chief executive officer of NTT DoCoMo, said:
We're thrilled to offer the incredible new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c to our customers. We know our customers will enjoy the amazing experience of iPhone on DoCoMo's high-quality network.
DoCoMo presently features more than 60 million customers, and while the iPhone is already the most popular handset in Japan, it's clear that Apple's deal with NTT DoCoMo is only going to help the Cupertino, Calif. company further increase its share of the country's smartphone market. In a press release, NTT DoCoMo explained:
Beginning on Friday, September 13, customers can pre-order iPhone 5c at DOCOMO dealers and the first 30,000 docomo Premier Club Premier Stage customers can pre-order from DOCOMO's website.
The iPhone 5s, however, is not available to preorder, but nevertheless is set to go on sale on Sept. 20, 2013. We'll keep you updated with further information as we receive it. In the meantime, see: In China, The iPhone 4 Is Apple's True Low-Cost Handset, Apple Vice President Greg Joswiak Talks iPhones, iOS 7 With Employees, and Tim Cook Shares Details Concerning Apple's New Products With Employees.

Jammu: At least 15 persons, including a polling officer, seven policemen and an elected Sarpanch received injuries in violent clashes between police and agitating voters during the fifth phase of 16-phased Panchayat elections on Saturday that witnessed over 81 percent polling in nine blocks of eight districts of the state. The government has announced re-polling on four polling stations-one in Kashmir and three in Jammu-after group clashes, ballot box "capturing" and complaints of "interference and misdeed by polling staff." A total of 3,12,233 electorates exercised their franchise in nine blocks during the fifth phase of Panchayat elections. Two blocks of Rajouri district, Darhal and Budhal in Jammu division witnessed violent clashes after the voters alleged "bogus voting" and "capturing" of ballot boxes allegedly by police personnel and supporters of a candidate. Sources said that violent clashes broke out at three polling stations in Sangarbat Panchayat in Darhal block when the supporters of contesting candidates alleged "bogus voting". "The supporters of contesting candidates resorted to heavy stone-pelting on police personnel after the latter resorted to cane charge to disperse the agitating mob," sources added. People also blamed that the police personnel had brought fake ballot boxes to the polling station to give undue benefit to a particular candidate. The higher officials of administration and police department rushed to the spot to assess the situation. "The polling remained disrupted for hours together and district electoral officer is likely to recommend re-polling on three polling stations in Sangarbat Panchayat," sources maintained. A polling officer identified as Naresh Raina and seven policemen were injured in the stone-pelting. "The stone-pelting and clashes between supporters of contesting candidates continued till late this evening in Sagarbat Panchayat," sources said. Sources said that an elected Sarpanch identified as Ghulam Qadir in Sabjyian Panchayat of Darhal block was thrashed and beaten up by some local people soon after he was declared winner. "He received multiple injuries and was rushed to nearby hospital for treatment," sources said. District Development Commissioner (DDC) Rajouri, Khawaja Ghulam Muhammad told Greater Kashmir that clashes between contesting candidates and their supporters were witnessed at five polling stations, including Jaba, Ujjan, Patathana and three polling stations in Sangarbat of Darhal block. "In Sangarbat Panchayat, people took away the ballot boxes and even resorted to stone-pelting on police personnel. We will recommend re-polling at three polling stations in this Panchayat," the DDC said, adding that similar incidents were witnessed at Patathana, Jaba and Ujjan polling stations but polling was completed on all these three polling booths after remaining disrupted for some time. Violent clashes were also reported at Panihat Panchayat of Budhal block in Rajouri district. When contacted, an official said re-polling has been announced on polling station KP-167 (ward number two) in Bakhi Haker Panchayat of Rajwara block of district Kupwara after complaint of "interference" and "misdeed" by a government official during the election. The government official has been identified as Muhammad Qasim. He informed that police resorted to mild cane charge after clashes broke out between two groups during polling at Jaba polling station in Darhal block. "Re-polling will be announced at one of the polling stations in Sangarbat Panchayat of Darhal block," he said. Official figures however claimed that poll percentage remained 85 percent in Rajwara, 66 percent in Wagoora, 84 percent in Khansahib, 83.18 percent in DH Pora, 82.35 percent in Arnas, 83.20 percent in Panchari, 74.33 percent in Basohli, 83.28 percent in Darhal and 85.88 percent in Budhal with an overall percentage of 81.09 percent in all these blocks.

Deciding to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is one of the more difficult decisions you can face. With the wounded pride many debtors feel upon filing, the choice is not an easy one. Learning about the process, however, can help you to make a choice that is best for you.
The first step in the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process, assuming you decide you can no longer afford to pay their debts, is to ensure that you qualify for the relief requested. In 2005, the bankruptcy laws changed so that debtors have to qualify from a financial standpoint in order to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Specifically, you must have a gross income over the previous six-month period prior to filing bankruptcy that is at or below the median income of an equivalent household size. If you meet those basic requirements, you automatically qualify for Chapter 7 (assuming you haven't received a bankruptcy discharge in the previous eight years) and can begin the process.
Let's say that after including those necessary expenses, your disposable income lowers to a level the court deems acceptable. in that case, you will pass the means test and qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Once you value your assets, you can then claim the allotted exemptions for the assets in order to protect the assets.
An example of this process is: You own a vehicle outright. The vehicle is worth $3,000 and your motor vehicle exemption is $5,000. The motor vehicle exemption protects the asset in this situation and you will not owe any money to the court.
In another example, your motor vehicle exemption is only $1,000 and as a result, your vehicle is over-exempt by $2,000. In that situation, you would have to either pay the $2,000 to the bankruptcy estate, or would have to surrender the vehicle to the bankruptcy estate. It is very important that you understand the exemption process prior to filing to ensure that you can protect your assets. While the court allows you to rid yourself of large amounts of debt, you also have an obligation to ensuring the creditors receive something from you if you have assets that are not exempt.
Prior to filing, the court requires that you take a pre-filing bankruptcy course. In addition, you will have to take a second bankruptcy course after filing in order to receive their discharge.
Upon completing the petition and the necessary documents, the case can be filed.
Upon filing, the next step is for the court to schedule a 341 meeting of creditors. The trustee holds this meeting. The court appoints the trustee to represent the interests of the creditors. The meeting takes place around 4-5 weeks after filing at the bankruptcy courthouse. Generally,the meeting is five to ten minutes and consists of questions designed to find assets for seizure and distribution.
Any negative situations associated with the questions previously raised can be resolved or planned around.
After the conclusion of the meeting, the Chapter 7 bankruptcy case will stay open for a period of sixty days. The creditor has up until after the sixtieth day to object to the discharge of their debt. All debts, excluding student loans, the majority of taxes, child support, and alimony, are discharged after the last day to object unless the debts have been reaffirmed by the court. Normally, the only debts allowed to be reaffirmed are mortgages, vehicles and other secured loans. These agreements must be filed prior to the discharge to be valid, otherwise those debts will be discharged as well.
Filing for Chapter 7 is an arduous process that entails thorough preparation. If you properly prepare for this big decision, it could be one of the best financial choices you make.
The purpose of Chapter 7 is to obtain discharge of your existing debts. If, however, you committed certain kinds of improper conduct described in the Bankruptcy Code, the court may deny your discharge. Call now to determine if Chapter 7 is right for you.

Q: Where is $\,\,f(x)=x^2\,\,$ a contraction mapping? I can't understand this:
My notes define a function $f$ to be a contraction if
$$\lvert\, f(x)-f(y)\rvert\leq c\lvert x-y\rvert,$$
for some 0$\lt c\lt 1$.
But then I have a question in my assignment which states:
For what value of $r$,the mapping $f(x)=x^2$ is contraction on $[0,r]$.
I can't understand what the question wants.
Please explain....

A: Let $r\in (0,1/2)$, then $2r<1$, and let $x,y\in [0,r]$, then
$$
\lvert\,x^2-y^2 \rvert=\lvert\,x+y \rvert\cdot\lvert\,x-y \rvert \le 2r\,
\lvert\,x-y \rvert
$$
Hence $f(x)=x^2$ is a contraction in $[0,r]$.
Note. How do we come up with this $r$?  We first observe that, due to the Mean Value Theorem
$$
f(x)-f(y)=f'(\xi)(x-y), \quad\text{for some $\xi\in(x,y)$.}
$$
Hence, if $f$ is defined on $[a,b]$, then
$$
\lvert\,f(x)-f(y)\rvert=\lvert f'(\xi)\rvert\,\lvert x-y\rvert\le
\sup_{\xi\in[a,b]}\lvert\, f'(\xi)\rvert\,\lvert x-y\rvert.
$$
Thus, if we want $f$ to be a contraction mapping, then $[a,b]$ should be picked so that
$\sup_{\xi\in[a,b]}\lvert\, f'(\xi)\rvert<1$ and if $f(x)=x^2$, then
$$
\sup_{\xi\in[0,r]}\lvert\, f'(\xi)\rvert=\sup_{\xi\in[0,r]}2\xi=2r.
$$

A: Well, just use your definition. The question asks for what $r$ does there exist a $c\in (0,1)$ such that
$$\|x^2-y^2 \| \leq c\|x-y \| $$
for all $x,y\in[0,r]$.
By the way, I answered here what the meaning of the problem is, and not how to solve it, since this seems to be what you are asking.

A: $$\ ||f(x)-f(y)||=||x^2-y^2||=||(x-y)(x+y)||≤c\cdot||x-y||$$
For $\ x=y $ it is trivial.
For $\ x≠y$ you have:
$$\ ||x+y||≤c<1$$
So the interval must be $\ [0,\frac{1}{2}]$. In this way $\ x $ and $\ y $ cannot be larger than $\ \frac{1}{2}$ so their sum must be less than 1 and the previous inequality is respected.

A: The Lipschitz condition is equivalent $|f'(x)|\le c$, that is, $|2x|\le c < 1$ on $[0,r]$, which translates to $0\le r<1/2$.

March 4, 2021 | Katelyn Bocklund | Policy
The Partnership on Waste and Energy, a collaboration between Minnesota's Hennepin, Ramsey, and Washington counties that addresses waste and energy management issues, just released the report, Policy and Regulatory Considerations to Develop Food Waste Digestion in Minnesota, which was authored by the Great Plains Institute (GPI).
Food waste digestion is underutilized across the US.
Minnesota is behind other states in growing the market for the technology and in acknowledging the technology as a viable and preferred food waste management solution.
More policy and regulatory action is needed to accelerate project development.
Actions required are multifaceted—there is no silver bullet.
This report closely examines existing policies and regulations in Minnesota that support the anaerobic digestion of food waste and proposes several policy and regulatory considerations that could further grow the technology in the state. These considerations draw on insights gleaned from GPI-facilitated stakeholder meetings, interviews, and surveys that took place between 2018 and 2020, following the release of the GPI-authored Anaerobic Digestion Evaluation Study in 2018.
As explained in GPI's 2018 report, anaerobic digestion is widely used in other parts of the world to process organic waste into biogas and digestate. With appropriate conditioning and upgrading, biogas can be used for heating, electricity, vehicle fuel, or as a natural gas substitute (renewable natural gas). Digestate can be used as compost.
While the technology is widely used elsewhere, there are significant policy and regulatory barriers preventing the technology from scaling in the US. The newly released report describes what those barriers are and identifies considerations that could help Minnesota become a leader in this technology if implemented.
Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt. chair of the Partnership on Waste and Energy, stated, "Our counties are working hard to keep food waste out of landfills, and we need processing capacity for recycling food waste into valuable products. This report underscores that Minnesota has slipped behind other states that have policies and incentives in place to support anaerobic digestion projects. It's time for the state to take action to accelerate the development of food waste digestion and capture the renewable energy, landfill diversion and climate protection benefits that this technology would provide."
The report discusses potential policy and regulatory changes that could be considered to support projects in Minnesota. These include new policies; changes to existing policies and programs; incentives, research and development, grants, and technical assistance; and changes to the regulatory process.
GPI and the Partnership on Waste and Energy will continue working together in 2021 to educate about food waste digestion and scale the technology in Minnesota.
The full report is available to read on the Partnership on Waste and Energy's website.

Our coordinator for this part of the program is Kevin Ferry. If you would like additional information about the program, drop us a note at info@medfordlakeslions.org.


Serving them up since 2004!
Yesterday, I pulled out a file to verify a date. Yes, as of today, it has been 10 years since I filed for my business license for the first time at the Westborough, MA, Town Hall. In the year leading up to that date, I experienced a layoff from the computer industry, followed by a couple of months of career counseling, and then a course on starting a business.
Today, I decided to reflect upon the ten years to see what has changed and what has remained constant in my business philosophies. It all begins with "Why do a business"? My process of deciding what to do after the layoff was more a process of elimination than anything else. In high tech, I worked with IT customers in many different industries, though ironically none were artisanal since they did not have computer budgets high enough to merit a visit. I enjoyed the exposure to widely variant corporate cultures, but was always aware that I was outside of their boxes. The people in the boxes went home at night and weekends with beepers and stress that I rarely experienced during my twenty years in industry. The morning after my layoff, I got a call from a customer whose mail system hardware I had been tuning, offering me a "consult until he could get me a req." kind of job. I started the process of elimination by turning him down after thanking him for the offer. I already knew that I wanted to live outside the "box" and be happier without having to pull down the salary I once had.
After the outplacement counseling ended, I decided to take a two month business course from Center for Women & Enterprise on how to design, start and run a business. The course had lots of nuts and bolts and some tools to screw them together. I wanted to give it a try selling the glass art I enjoyed making, so I might as well start off knowing what I needed to do.
Over the years, I'd read about people starting businesses that started off small, but went viral and grew so fast that they went from working at their kitchen table to taking out a loans on leasing industrial space and materials, and hiring people to make and distribute the stuff. I was terrified of the whole idea of that ever happening to me (and it sure hasn't, thanks to my planning)! It seems that Rule #1 in business school is that "Growth is Good". When I went through orientation at my last employer, 15 years before, they had just become a billion dollar company and as part of the orientation I learned that the company was designed from the beginning to be a big company. After a series of mergers, they're a lot bigger than that now. The founders of it had another reason to start their company, which was "to have fun" as opposed to what they were doing at their previous employer.
From the beginning, I was planning to violate Rule #1, and pursue a size that was right for me. My business was to be what I called a "lifestyle business" and its first rule was that if it was interfering with my enjoyment of life, I was doing something wrong. (See Susanka, Not So Big Life, for a similar view.) So, perversely, I was really doing what my former employer set out to do, only they wanted to be huge and I wanted to be small, but above all, to have fun!
With my Rule #1 as my guiding principle, I started off and adjusted things as I went along. Though I went through certification on teaching Art Clay Silver fabrication (fused glass looks great set in silver!), I gave it up because I knew I'd never make a profit making products with it, and I could not get enough teaching business (much more profitable) to make it worth my while. I also found I was getting repetitive stress in my hands and wrists from polishing the work, so I sold off the supplies and classroom tools. I still call my business Quicksilver Glass, but if you notice, the actual website reflects the reality of nanburkeglassart.
A second effort in my business was flattening bottles in my kiln and making cheeseboards. I sand-etch designs on many of them. I meant for them to complement my products made from art glass, but they were steady sellers and profitable from the beginning. I developed a reputation for making some of the best. I always thought demand for them would dry up, but green product trends have managed to keep the bottle business afloat. A few years ago, I decided to make fewer cheeseboards and concentrate more on fine craft. This is a balancing act, since the cheeseboard side of the business will always be more profitable….but the glass art is lots more fun (but less profitable).
I discuss profit as a relative term, but it means specific things to me and my business. First, the IRS requires me to make a profit in order to make certain deductions for my taxes in business. Second, I want to maintain a certain level of funds in my business checking account from year to year. Basically, it comes down to this: the cheeseboards pay for the art glass I use in making glass art.
How I sell what I make is highly determined by my Rule #1. Often, when people see my work, they say, "Do you sell on the web?" I say I have been working on a website, but I do not intend to actually sell work there. Where do I sell? I'm strictly local. I have a couple of local wholesale accounts, am in a couple of co-ops, and I do local shows. No way am I selling cheeseboards on Amazon or Etsy!
Another product of mine has been writing. GLASScraftsman (now defunct) engaged me as a columnist after the editor saw articles I wrote for the International Guild of Glass Artists' newsletter Common Ground: Glass. The Cool Tools and Hot Ideas column had a five year run, and I also wrote a series on studio design when I converted my two-car garage into a studio in 2008 (hey, my former employers did business in garages, why not me?) Fortunately, I retained full ownership rights to these articles and will be updating and putting them on this blog.
After GLASScraftsman went away, a former editor engaged me to write a series of articles I called Out of the Box for Glass Patterns Quarterly. A GPQ advertiser would send me a product and I would make something interesting with it. My favorite one was the "On Getting a Head" project. A company called 1Glassimpressions.com sent me box with a glass head (used for modeling hats) and a stand with LEDs inside (they still sell LED kits). I decided to do a mosaic, coldworking glass globs ("jewels") and doing a brainmap on the head, then using black glass and frit for the face and hair line. I then wrote how to do the project. It was a fun one. Later on, it was less spontaneous, and for my last project I was sent glass and a pattern of a design to make with it—not really out of the box. I did the project and article, but the article never appeared, and the column ended. The other GPQ articles can be found in back issues of GPQ. They retain ownership of the articles and images that I submitted to them, so if any images appear on this site they will be ones I didn't submit.
What I've found during the last 10 years is that I have become involved in a community of artists and artisans: people who do shows, people in guilds, people who work in co-ops, and of course, people who buy my work. I enjoy my community as much as the craft itself. This is the biggest lesson from my first 10 years.
Great article Nan. Makes me want to do something similar as I think about downsizing and eventually retiring.
