The ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) has fined Grove Pension Solutions £40,000 for sending nearly 2 million unsolicited marketing emails.
The pensions firm's campaign, which took place between October 2016 and October 2017, violated the PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations).
Grove's PECR failure wasn't for a lack of effort. The organisation hired a data protection consultant for advice, and ran its plan past an independent data protection solicitor.
Unfortunately, the counsel was either wrong or Grove didn't take it on board. Either way, the ICO pointed out that the organisation was responsible for its own actions.
The ICO's director of investigations and intelligence, Andy White, said: "Spam email uses people's personal data unlawfully, filling up their inboxes and promoting products and services which they don't necessarily want.
"We acknowledge that Grove Pension Solutions Ltd took steps to check that their marketing activity was within the law, but received misleading advice. However, ultimately, they are responsible for ensuring they comply with the law and they were in breach of it.
What are the PECR's consent requirements?
The PECR states that organisations must obtain explicit consent whenever they send unsolicited electronic communications for marketing purposes. Unlike the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), the requirements apply even when personal data isn't being processed.
In this instance, Grove relied on indirect consent. That is to say, it used email addresses provided by people who, in the process of consenting to another organisation's service, agreed to be contacted by third parties.
However, the ICO's PECR guidance states that it's not enough to say that an individual might be contacted by "similar organisations", "partners" or "selected third parties".
The request must be from the organisation in question, or a third party that specifically names the organisations that will be given access to individuals' contact information.
As Grove learned to its cost, the PECR can be a minefield to navigate, particularly when you also need to meet the GDPR's requirements. Any organisation that's unsure about its compliance status should consider our PECR Audit Service.
With this service, an independent assessor reviews your processes and delivers a detailed report, showing you how to resolve any areas of non-compliance.

Q: How can I change bar color of jquery easyPiechart Recently my html guy implemented piechart using jquery plug -in name as easyPieChart just like in the following way.

html code:

I want to change dynamically bar color through JavaScript or backbone.js,but I can't able to fix this.
Right now it is in green color,I want to change to another color.
can anyone help me.
Thanks.

A: I've been trying to figure this out myself and after some fooling around this seems to be working for me.
$('#your_chart').data('easyPieChart').options.barColor = '#0033CC';

A: What took me some time to figure out is how to make it dynamically show desired color based on percentage. This is what I came up with in jQuery:
$('.piechart').easyPieChart({
    barColor: function (percent) {
       return (percent < 50 ? '#5cb85c' : percent < 85 ? '#f0ad4e' : '#cb3935');
    },
    size: 150,
    scaleLength: 7,
    trackWidth: 5,
    lineWidth: 5,

    onStep: function (from, to, percent) {
       $(this.el).find('.percent').text(Math.round(percent));
    }
});

This is the example of how it would look like in case you have more than one Chart Pie:

A: Read the documentation on the plugin homepage:
http://rendro.github.io/easy-pie-chart/
When you initialize the plugin with jQuery, you can set custom parameters like barColor.
So instead of the default:

You can do:

It's really not that hard. Try reading the documentation.

A: Snippet :
barColor: function (percent) {
   return (percent < 50 ? 'rgba('+(92+Math.ceil(148/50*percent))+','+(184-Math.ceil(11/50*percent))+','+(92-Math.ceil(14/50*percent))+',1)' :
   percent < 100 ? 'rgba('+(240-Math.ceil(37/50*(percent-50)))+','+(173-Math.ceil(116/50*(percent-50)))+','+(78-Math.ceil(25/50*(percent-50)))+',1)' :
   'rgba(203,57,53,1)');
},

A: If you want to animate from red to green, you can use this :
    $('.chart').easyPieChart({
        barColor: function (percent) {
            return 'hsl(' + (Math.round(percent) * 1.2) + ', 100%, 35%)';
        },
        animate: {
            duration: 2000,
            enabled: true,
        },
        onStep: function(from, to, percent) {
            $(this.el).find('.percent').text(Math.round(percent));
        }
    });

A: Actually you can do something like this to get dynamic colours to your pie chart.
Assue your dynaVal range between 0 and 50.
Preset some colors to get dynamic colors.
var dynaColorsSet = [
                     "#FFFFFF", // red
                     "#070AEB", // blue
                     "#1DEB07", // green
                     "#FAF211", // yellow
                     "#F76F30" // orange
                    ];

$('#chart').easyPieChart({
            barColor: function(dynaVal) { // dynaVal (can be int/float) is the dynamic value that keep changing
                    var clr = function(dynaColorsSet, dynaVal){
                        var defColor = dynaColorsSet[0];
                            if(dynaVal <= 20){
                                defColor = dynaColorsSet[1];
                            }else if(dynaVal <= 30){
                                defColor = dynaColorsSet[2];
                            }else if(dynaVal >= 30 && dynaVal < 40){
                                defColor = dynaColorsSet[3];
                            } else if(dynaVal >= 40){
                                defColor = dynaColorsSet[4];
                            }
                        }
                        return defColor;
                    };
                    return clr(dynaColorsSet, dynaVal); // this line returns the final
    });

A: Here is my EasyPieChart function to change the pie chart based on the percent. This will cause the color to get more Red as it nears completion.

    var chartColors =  function(percent) {
      var dynaColorsSet = ['#fcfcad', '#F8F933', '#FACC00', '#FB6600', '#FB9900', '#FB4800', '#CB0A0A', '#960808'];
      if (percent <= 5) {
        return dynaColorsSet[0];
      } else if (percent <= 15) {
        return dynaColorsSet[1];
      } else if (percent <= 30) {
        return dynaColorsSet[2];
      } else if (percent <= 45) {
        return dynaColorsSet[3];
      } else if (percent <= 60) {
        return dynaColorsSet[4];
      } else if (percent <= 75) {
        return dynaColorsSet[5];
      } else if (percent <= 85) {
        return dynaColorsSet[6];
      } else if (percent > 95) {
        return dynaColorsSet[7];
      }
    };

    $scope.options = {
      size: 50,
      animate:{
        duration:3000,
        enabled:true
      },
      barColor: chartColors,
      scaleColor: false,
      lineWidth: 5,
      lineCap: 'circle'
    };

A: for dynamic change of barColor use this:
in your HTML:

in your js:
$('.easyChart').easyPieChart({
    barColor: function (percent) {
        barColor = '#767676'; // this is default barColor
        if($(this.el).data('barcolor')) {
            barColor = '#' + $(this.el).data('barcolor')
        }
        return barColor;
    },
    trackColor: '#c7c7c7',
});

You can change trackColor also

An excerpt from Rabbi Kaplan's The Handbook of Jewish Thought.
Along with the wisdom to cure illness, God has given the physician permission to heal, as the Torah states in the case of bodily injury, "[The offender] must provide for his [victim's] complete cure" (Exodus 21:19) -- that is, by a doctor. Therefore the physician need not fear that he is usurping a prerogative of God, nor need he be apprehensive that he may injure of kill his patient, as long as he does his best.
A doctor who heals a patient fulfils the commandment, "You must return [your brother's loss] to him" (Deut. 22:2). If we are commanded to restore another's possessions, how much more so his life and health.
One should always seek the best possible medical help, but still pray to God for divine aid.
Although it is forbidden to rely upon miracles, one must realize that without God's help no physician can preserve life. It is thus written concerning Asa, king of Judah, "He became severely ill but even in his sickness, instead of beseeching God, he sought his physicians… and he died." (2 Chronicles 16:12). One should always seek the best possible medical help, but still pray to God for divine aid.
With the exception of the three cardinal sins, one must violate any religious law to save a life, as the Torah states, "Keep My decrees and laws, since a person can [truly] live only by keeping them" (Leviticus 18:5) -- live by keeping them and not die by keeping them.
Although keeping the Sabbath is considered a foundation of our religion, it may be violated in any manner necessary to save a life. In such a case, it is a meritorious deed to violate the Sabbath, and one who hesitates is guilty of bloodshed.
Where the Sabbath is violated in a case of danger, it must be done by responsible adults, and not by children or non-Jews, even where possible. However, if it is possible to avoid violating the Sabbath without causing any delay, it is permissible to do so.
Similarly, a dangerously sick or starving person may eat any forbidden food necessary to preserve his life. In such a case, all is permitted, even pork products, and bread on Passover.
Although Yom Kippur is our most sacred Day of Atonement, one whose life may be endangered by fasting is forbidden to do so. In such a case, one obtains atonement even without fasting.
In all cases of sickness or injury, we rely upon the opinion of a physician. As soon as he says that there is even a question of danger, religious law may be violated to preserve life, even if it is not certain that a given cure will help.
In any case where there is disagreement between medical authorities, one should make the same decision that one would make if no religious prohibition were involved, since where any question of danger is concerned, all religious laws must be [largely] ignored.
If the patient himself feels that his life is in danger, his word must be taken against any number of physicians. Regarding such a case, it is written, "The heart knows its own bitterness" (Proverbs 14:10).
One who goes against a physician's advice is held accountable for endangering his own life.
If any lay person claims to recognize a sickness or injury as being dangerous, his word must be taken, even if he is not certain, as long as he is not contradicted by a competent physician.
In any case, one should not violate religious law to provide a remedy unless it is prescribed by a physician or is otherwise known to be effective. Still, if the patient insists that a certain remedy is necessary, it may be administered for its psychological effect, as long as it is not known to be injurious to his health.
If a physician maintains that a certain remedy is necessary, he must be heeded even though the patient may insist that he has no need of it. In such a case, the patient may even be forced to take it. One who goes against his physician's advice and refuses to violate any religious law when required is considered among the foolishly pious. He is held accountable for endangering his own life. Regarding such a case, we are warned, "Do not be overly righteous" (Ecclesiastes 7:16).
When life is endangered, all religious laws may be totally disregarded. Therefore, even things that are not necessary to preserve the patient's life are permitted, as long as they enhance his well being. Nevertheless, one should not violate any religious law if treatment can be effected equally well without doing so. Similarly, one should violate the least serious law whenever possible, but when the danger is imminent and speed is essential, one need not concern oneself with these questions.
Even when danger is not imminent, religious law may be violated to prevent the risk of future danger. It is forbidden to hesitate in any case where such a delay may imperil life.
An internal injury is generally considered dangerous, and one may violate the Sabbath or any other law without question to obtain medical aid. However, even in the case of an extreme internal pain, one may not violate the Sabbath unless it may be a warning of a serous illness such as a heart attack or acute appendicitis.
Similarly, any injury to the teeth, gums or eyes is always considered dangerous. One may likewise violate the Sabbath in the case of any injury that might damage exposed blood vessels, as on the back of the hand or the feet, as well as any wound caused by a deadly weapon. In any case where there is danger of excessive bleeding or shock, immediate medical attention is required.
One may similarly violate the Sabbath to bring medical aid to a person suffering from a very high fever, as well as one bitten by a rabid don or other animal.
A woman in childbirth is considered to be in life danger.
A woman in childbirth is considered to be in danger unless the proper medical steps are taken. Therefore, she may be taken to the hospital, and medical aid may be summoned, as soon as labor commences, even on the Sabbath.
Similarly, a newborn child is considered to be in danger unless it receives the proper medical attention. Therefore, one may violate the Sabbath to do whatever is usually required for the infant.
Where there is any question of saving life, the Sabbath may be violated in any manner necessary. Therefore, if a fire breaks out, it may be extinguished wherever life may be endangered. Similarly, if a building collapses, one may dig into the rubble to save the victims. Likewise, if a person falls into a well, or is in danger of drowning, all that is necessary may be done to save them. Even where a child locks himself into a room or closet where he may hurt himself or be dangerously frightened, the door may be broken down, or any help summoned.
Similarly, if a ship is in danger of sinking, or an individual is being pursued or attacked, the Sabbath may be violated in any way to save life.
In case of war, one may violate the Sabbath in any way to fight back, since many lives may be at stake.
One who violates the Sabbath in an attempt to save a life is worthy of merit even if it turns out that his services were not needed or in vain. Similarly, one who unintentionally saves a life while purposely violating the Sabbath is free of all blame.
One may violate the Sabbath where there is any chance, however miniscule, of saving a life. For example, one may search through the rubble of a collapsed building for survivors, even though the building may have been empty, or all the occupants killed, as long as there is any chance at all of a living person being trapped. Where life is at stake, we do not assume probabilities, since the commandment to "live by keeping them" does not permit any situation where observance should lead to death.
Similarly, the commandment to "live by keeping them" requires us to prolong life wherever possible, even temporarily. Therefore if someone is dying, or mortally injured, the Sabbath maybe violated to prolong his life even for minutes.
Where life is not endangered, one may not violate any Biblical prohibition, though one is ill or in pain.
If any part of the body is in danger of being permanently damaged without immediate attention, all rabbinical prohibitions may be violated to treat it, even though there is no mortal danger. Therefore, for example, it is permitted to set a broken or dislocated limb on the Sabbath. However, where a Biblical law must be violated, it may only be done by a non-Jew.
If one is sick enough to be bedridden, or in such pain as to feel sick all over, he may be treated by violating any rabbinical law on the Sabbath, as long as it is not done in the usual manner. Similarly, he may take any necessary medication or be treated by a non-Jew in any necessary manner. Therefore, for example, one who has a severe toothache on the Sabbath, may have it treated by a non-Jewish dentist.
One who has a simple ache or pain, or other minor illness, is forbidden to take any remedy on the Sabbath, even where there is no violation at all. All such cases are forbidden by rabbinical law, in order that one should not confuse them with cases of mortal danger and violate the Sabbath by preparing a remedy. Similarly, one may not be treated by a non-Jew, since rabbinical law forbids us from having a non-Jew do anything prohibited to a Jew, in order to preserve the sanctity of the Sabbath. God thus enjoins us through His prophet, "Refrain from pursuing your own affairs on My holy day…" (Isaiah 58:13). It is only in cases of extreme pain or illness that exceptions were made.
However, in a case where medicine is never used and there is no question of preparing a remedy, one may relieve pain on the Sabbath. Therefore, for example, one may remove a splinter, even with a needle, or press down a bruise with a knife or with ice.
It is forbidden to eat, or even swallow any forbidden food as a remedy when one is not dangerously sick. However, the Biblical prohibitions regarding forbidden foods only apply when they are eaten in an enjoyable manner, since this is the normal connotation of eating. When they are mixed with a very bitter substance, or eaten in any other manner which eliminates the possibility of deriving pleasure from them, they are forbidden only by rabbinical law, and may be eaten as a remedy, even when there is no danger.
It is permitted to swallow any forbidden food encased in an inedible capsule as a remedy, since it does not touch one's mouth or throat while being swallowed. Similarly, one may take a medicine made of forbidden foods which have been burned or chemically reduced, since they are no longer considered to be food.
We are commanded to preserve our health and well being, as the Torah states, "Take heed and guard your life very carefully" (Deut. 4:9), and "Guard your lives very carefully" (ibid. 4:15). It is therefore forbidden for a person to deliberately injure himself or endanger his life or health in any way. Torah law itself requires that we be more strict concerning a danger to our physical well being than concerning a violation of its own commandments.
One who places either his own or another's life in danger is guilty of violating the commandment, "Do not allow a dangerous situation to remain in your house" (Deut. 22:8). For this reason, one should keep his property clear of anything that might cause a serious accident.
It is an extremely serious sin to cause one's own death, whether by intent or negligence. One who does so is considered a murderer, as the Torah states, "I will surely demand an account for [spilling] your own life's blood" (Genesis 9:5).
Thank You. This was a very comprehensive overview of hilchos shabbos as applied to illness and life threatening situations that occur on shabbos. It clarified alot for me. Thanks again.

PALMETTO WOODTURNERS (PWT),will meet Saturday, December 1, 2018 at 9:00 AM. The meeting will be at Mann Tool, 802 Chris Drive, West Columbia, SC. We will have a brief session for club business and announcements, followed by our annual Christmas gift exchange.
GOOD NEWS: Highway access to Chris Drive and Mann Tool has been restored. Chris Drive is now open from both US Highway #1 (Augusta Road), and Leaphart Road.
This meeting will be a very informal affair. Wives, husbands, children, and friends are welcome. Please bring a snack or beverage to share. The Club will provide coffee, plates, and cups.
We will have a gift exchange among the membership. If you wish to participate, please bring one of your turned pieces, an extra tool, or a nice piece of turning stock. Susan Schultz will lead the exchange. She has promised to come up with an interesting way to carry it out.
Yes sir! It's December, so PWT is giving back in the form of eight scholarships to be awarded to lucky members by way of raffle. The first raffle will be for a $600 scholarship. Each PWT member attending the December meeting will receive one ticket for this raffle. The second drawing also is for a $600 scholarship; however, this raffle is limited to those members who participated in the President's Challenge during 2018. These two scholarships are intended to help the lucky winners defray expenses to attend a woodturning program such as those offered at Arrowmont and John C. Campbell. Finally, six drawings will be conducted for scholarships in the amount of $100 each. These $100 scholarships are for use to attend one of PWT's Hands-On classes during 2019. You must be present at the December meeting to be eligible for all drawings except for the President's Challenge raffle. PWT's current guidelines for the raffle drawings are posted on the PWT website under the menu heading "Membership." Select "Membership Benefits" in the drop down menu.
Palmeto Woodturners is an affiliate member of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW). Just under a third of our membership are also members of the AAW. I strongly encourage those of you who have not joined AAW to give it a close look. The AAW website offers a wealth of information on every aspect of the craft; however, much of that wealth is limited to AAW members. Please visit the AAW website and take a look. Recent materials provided by AAW will be available at the November PWT meeting, outlining the benefits of AAW membership. Guest memberships limited to sixty days are available at no charge to individuals who have never joined AAW.
PWT's annual Learn To Turn a Christmas Ornament event is just around the corner. Once again, PWT will partner with Mann Tool, inviting the public to turn a Christmas ornament with the assistance and guidance of PWT. Public participants will be charged the nominal fee of $5.00, and all proceeds will be donated to support Epworth Children's Home.
A brief report was given at the November meeting on the demonstrations conducted on the opening day of the fair by members of Palmetto Woodturners. Also mentioned were several PWT members who entered pieces in the craft and fine arts competitions of the fair. Randy Grant, Jim Nelson, and Cameron Porter entered several fine works. Additionally, PWT members David Fellows and Jim Waterbury mentored several budding artists and woodworkers at DOJ, and several of these pieces were on display at the fair as well. PWT wants to recognize these outstanding efforts by publishing photographs of some of the pieces on the PWT website. Hopefully, the photographs will be up on the site within the next couple of weeks. If any other PWT members entered pieces in the fair competition, please let me know. We want to recognize all who participated.
I want to make one last mention of the PWT's affiliation with the American Association of Woodturners (AAW). Just under a third of our membership are also members of the AAW. The AAW website offers a wealth of information on every aspect of the craft; however, much of that wealth is limited to AAW members. Recent materials provided by AAW will be available at the December PWT meeting, outlining the benefits of AAW membership. Guest memberships limited to sixty days are available at no charge to individuals who have never joined AAW. This would be a great time to join the AAW, because the largest woodturning event in the world will be sponsored by the AAW in Raleigh, North Carolina next summer. The AAW's International Symposium will be held July 11-14, 2019. This may be the best opportunity for many in our area to attend an event of this scope and caliber. Please visit the AAW website for details.
There will not be a display of work or a challenge this month. Put that effort into a nice gift for the exchange, and then take the gift you receive and let that inspire you to bring a nice display piece in January.

The joyful clamor that arises from the stage is confused in the uneasiness spread throughout French society, presages a renewal of ideas and customs; and here it is useful to recall how the vision of the Middle Ages that the first French Romantics shaped and propagated with their work (for example, in the historical novel by V. Hugo, Notre – Dame de Paris) moves almost entirely from this period, from the reign of Louis XI, that is from the extreme edge of the Middle Ages: and for certain grotesque and frightening veins (suggested by an art that was very popular at the time, and found its typical expression in the Danza macabra), and for the sympathy towards the figure dominant of the clerc, of the carefree, mocking, brilliant student.
This figure is carved, at times more bitter and dramatic, in the name and in the legend, of François Villon, who stands out above all for the impetus and power of the imagination, hence he has remained one of the most original poets of France. The life of François de Montcorbier, later Villon, is known to us in fleeting glimpses, which lighted it up until the age of thirty, that is, until 1461-62, after which he disappears into the shadows. His work consists of two poems, the Lais and the Testament, and in a few scattered ballads: an unbridled evocation of the society among which the poet lived, alternately traversed by an intense, lively greed to enjoy, and by a very acute sense of sadness. and abandonment, adrift of passions, poverty, death. The Testament, which is his most important and significant writing, after a large prelude, almost an examination of conscience of the now tired poet, unfolds through a long series of legacies, which allow him to recall experiences of all kinds, summarized each in the face of a friend, a gentleman, a woman; Villon tastes the bitterness and the final disappointment; then he laughs; and among the crowd of memories, mimics and narratives, some ballads emerge, like the peaks of his lyricism, like the expansion of his intimate heart, of the Dames du temps jadis, of the Mother (or Ballade pour prier Notre Dame), of the Belle heaulmière, which are the jewels to which the fame of Villon was entrusted. His poems were published for the first time in 1489: certainly admired and widespread, as revealed by Marot and Rabelais, and as is confirmed by the legend that on the "écolier parisien" was formed at the end of the century and ran in the Repues franches for a long time attributed to Villon himself. Who, however, had few imitators (and more in appearance than inspiration, such as Guillaume Coquillart and Henry Baude): and the school continued to hold the Grands Rhétoriqueurs, that is, of the rigid and firm "master singers", for whom all art was governed by artificial laws and easy-to-use formulas. The school flourished above all at the court of Burgundy, in Flanders, in Brittany, and its most distinguished representatives were Georges Chastellain, Jean Meschinot, Octavien de Saint-Gelays, Jean Molinet, Guillaume Cretin, Jean Marot, Pierre Gringore, Jean Bouchet, crossing the thresholds of the century. XVI, to which they brought only the last echo of the allegorical tradition of the Rose, together with a vague and haggard humanistic ambition. One of them, Jean Lemaire de Belges (born about 1473; his last certain news is from 1514), felt more deeply the contact of classical and Italian culture; in addition to the usual rondeaux, wrote, partly in third rhyme and partly in Alexandrian, the Concorde des deux langages, that is of the French and the "toscan ou florentin", and in a rich, exuberant, colorful prose, Les Illustrations de Gaule et singularités de Troie, from which Ronsard will draw the argument from Franciade.
And in the prose of the storytellers and chroniclers, perhaps the most persuasive attestation of the qualities that mature in the French spirit are to be sought. Antoine de la Sale (1388-until after 1469), author of the Salade and of the Salle, speeches on politics and morals, traces some pages of a delicate psychology in the Petit Jehan de Saintré, story of the sentimental novitiate of a page, under the guidance of a beautiful lady who then cruelly betrays him. Even the Quinze joyes de mariage, from the time of La Sale, and attributed to him without certain proofs, have a subtlety of observation, full of malice; the Cent nouvelles nouvelles reflect the example of the Decameron.
According to MILITARYNOUS, Philippe de Commynes (1447-1511), who was councilor of Louis XI and followed Charles VIII and Louis XII in the expeditions of Italy, left with his Mémoires a historical work of great value: a wise interpreter of the political facts in which he took part, he aims to discover the reasons and interests that lie, like a secret device, in the confinement of the great enterprises of diplomacy and war; and the immediate and profound intuition of historical personalities shows us how he is already animated by the spirit of the Renaissance.

fou un matemàtic suec conegut pel seu treball en història de les matemàtiques.

Vida i Obra
Dahlin va estudia a l'escola elemental d'Östersund fins al 1854 i va continuar la secundària al Institut d'Uppsala el 1858-59, tornant a Östersund per obtenir l'accés a la universitat el 1867. Va ingressar en la universitat d'Uppsala el 1869 en la que es va graduar el 1873 i enla que va obtenir el doctorat el 1875 amb una tesi sobre la història de les matemàtiques sueques abans de 1679.

Aquest mateix any de 1875, Dahlin va ser nomenat professor ajudant de història de les matemàtiques a la universitat d'Uppsala, però com que el tema era massa específic, es va convertir en professor de matemàtiques. Però com que no era un matemàtic prominent i li mancaven laguns del requisits d'un bon professor, va abandonar la docència universitària. Abans, però, va estar preparant la continuació de la seva història de les matemàtiques a Suècia a partir de 1679. El 1876 va ingressar al Sveriges Riksbank, però només s'hi va estar uns mesos, ja que aquest mateix any ja era mestre a la presó de Långholmen.

El 1877 es va traslladar a Malmö, on va ser docent de la presó d'aquesta ciutat i professor de mecànica a l'Escola Naval d'aquesta ciutat, fins que es va retirar de tots els seus càrrecs el 1913.

L'obra de Dahlin és pionera en la història de les matemàtiques a Suècia. Va rebre el segon premi del departament de Filosofia de la Universitat d'Uppsala el 1875, va ser nomenat cavaller de l'Orde de Vasa el 1895 i va rebre un doctorat honoris causa aquest mateix any.

Take a virtual walk on the wild side with Catherine Raven, Country Bookshelf, and Books in Common NW
Catherine Raven (photo by Bill-Burke)
Wednesday, July 7th at 6pm the Country Bookshelf will be live with Catherine Raven and Tim Cahill to discuss Raven's remarkable book Fox & I. This is an unforgettable story about the friendship between a solitary woman and a wild fox that all our booksellers are raving about. Register here!
Ariana Paliobagis of the Country Bookshelf got the chance to interview Raven as part of the Indies Introduce program to find the best debut titles releasing in a season.
Raven is a former National Park Ranger at Glacier, Mount Rainier, North Cascades, Voyagers, and Yellowstone National Parks. She earned her PhD in biology from Montana State University and is currently an assistant program director and professor at South University in Savannah, Georgia.
Here, Paliobagis and Raven discuss how the author found her memoir voice to tell the story of her friendship with Fox.
Ariana Paliobagis: Fox & I starts with the acknowledgement that foxes live short lives, so the reader always has an anticipation of an ending, and Fox's life is just a short part of your life. How did this affect how you approached writing and structuring this book?
Catherine Raven: When I decided to write Fox's story, we were still seeing each other every day. Because the book was meant to be about him, not me, the original structure was chronological, and Fox was in every chapter.
I intended to write a true story about a fox who changed my views on anthropomorphism, became my first real friend, and inspired me to think more like an animal.
A published writer explained to me that Fox and I was not simply a true story, it was a memoir, as much about me as about him. I very much respected this writer (or I wouldn't have asked her opinion), so I set out to turn my true story into a memoir. I changed the structure to include scenes that resonated with my own life experiences.
Fox altered my life in important ways. He is responsible for my choice to live in the country and to seek a purpose-driven life. In order to honor Fox, I had to share enough of my own story so that readers could see how greatly he influenced my life.
AP: As someone who has done lots of scientific and academic writing, how did you find your memoir voice?
CR: I do have two voices; one is for scientific communication. I did not use that voice in my memoir. Two jobs helped develop my memoir voice: guiding and teaching undergraduates.
I've been guiding and instructing field classes in Yellowstone National Park for 20 years and I work hard to avoid jargon and "science speak." Instead, I use my natural voice, one that is like the voice in the memoir.
When I started the book, I was teaching upper division classes for biology majors. I purposely switched to lower division classes designed for non-majors. I knew this would help with my writing. And, truly, I have come to enjoy teaching non-majors a lot more, just as I have come to enjoy writing.
AP: Other than Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Herman Melville, and Mary Shelley, who you reference often, are there other writers who influenced you?
CR: Several memoirs inspired me. Imagination runs wild in Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, a super creative memoir about living simultaneously in two different worlds. This was the first memoir that resonated with me after Fox died, reminding me that I, too, was living in two worlds, one with Fox and one when I entered the "real world" of serious, professionals, hawk-eyed on their lookout for violators of the anthropomorphism taboo. In a voice that blends hope and horror, Kingston brought me inside the dreams and struggles of a girl-child in a Chinese-American family.
In A Long Way Gone, Ishmael Beah of Sierra Leone, like Kingston, shows me a world that I knew nothing about, in the same way that I assumed science and biology would be a new world to the readers of Fox and I. Beah's is the voice of innocence among almost unbelievable terror. I believe his story because his writing is clear enough to highlight his honesty and earnestness. Beah has more right to preach, rant, and rage about an immense humanitarian crisis than anyone in the world. He doesn't. So, I saw how to address important issues without writing in an opinionated, editorial tone. Importantly, before I found Beah's memoir, I thought all memoirs were written by professional writers looking for their next topic. Like me, Beah experienced something so profound that he became a writer in order to tell the story.
In Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, a voice very different from mine, I found a memoir with a creative structure that inspired me to finally start Fox and I. Reading Dave Eggers' memoir, I realized there are no limits on structure if the writer is sincere and the story is well-told. He moves seamlessly in the first, second, and third person voices. This book freed me from the fear of writing a tightly structured book, which had to follow writerly rules that I had not learned.
I enjoy third person. Readers will notice this in the sections I wrote from Fox's point of view. My favorite third person novels are so excellent, I sometimes pick one up and read a chapter chosen at random. I strongly recommend everyone reads Hilary Mantel's trilogy (Wolf Hall, Bring up the Bodies, The Mirror and the Light), Anthony Doerr's All the Light we Cannot See, and Eleanor Catton's The Luminaries. But you'll need to avoid these spectacularly entertaining books if you have an ego. I can't tell you how many times I stopped, mid-paragraph to announce out loud, "I will never, ever write this well."
AP: You write eloquently, passionately, and forcefully about how humans aren't just part of nature, we are also nature, we are also animals. Can you talk a bit about why this philosophical distinction is so important? What changes once we realize we are not separate from nature?
CR: On a practical level, I worry about folks experiencing loneliness. I want them to realize that Nature isn't a mother, it's a community, and that they are inherently part of this community. It's their birthright. When they realize they are part of this community, it's unimaginable to me that they could be lonely. Humans might not have a welcome place for everyone at any given time, but the community I call Nature will always have a spot somewhere. I have found comfort with a slug on a forest floor. Would you turn your nose at a housefly? If not for that one dancing fly, Fox and I may never have connected when we did.
On a philosophical level, I think it's helpful to reassess our common understanding of anthropomorphism. The term assumes that certain personality — or non-physical — traits are the exclusive domain of Homo sapiens. For example, an appreciation of beauty, or the ability to discern something that is visually pleasing. What happens if we believe that animals are more like us than we once imagined? Will we treat them better? I wish I were that naïve. But let's face it, sometimes our own parents treat us worse than complete strangers; closeness doesn't translate to kindness.
But I am optimistic enough to believe that some people will treat some animals better, and others will at least start thinking about it.
As a community, I find that people are anthropomorphobic. And so, we have created an artificial divide between humans and non-human animals. We fear the image of animals acting like people, but more so, and more concerning, we fear the image of people acting like animals. A small change leads to many possibilities. For example, what would you do differently, if, like other animals, you thought about your optimal habitat instead of just picking a career and following it to wherever?
AP: If you could have more time with Fox, how would you spend it?
CR: When you finish the book, you'll know that I did a terrible thing to Fox. You'll understand that I wasn't the friend I should have been. I would have liked more time to make it up to him and more time to experience the responsibilities of friendship.
Ariana's take on Fox and I by Catherine Raven:
Read this book for the story of Fox, stay for the story of the author and how we all are nature and an examination of our relationships with other animals, plants, each other, and the world. Fox & I is a beautifully-written, thoughtful blend of memoir and nature writing that will inform and inspire and make you feel.
Tegan Tigani of Queen Anne Book Company writes:
This debut is beautiful and moving. Catherine's relationship to Fox, the natural world, and civilization will give every reader so much to think about. I love that she tells part of the story from Fox's perspective; her writing sings in every chapter, but the sheer imagination and empathy of those sections blew me away. I also loved how Raven's descriptions resonates so perfectly with her writing about favorite books ("The Little Prince," "Moby-Dick," and "Horton Hears a Who").
Although this book is unlike anything else I've read before, it gave me some of the frissons of recognition and awe that I got from reading the works of Farley Mowat and Azar Nafisi– Mowat for his personal observations and love of wild things and Nafisi for her interpretations of literature.
This is one of my favorite books in a long time– one I will treasure for myself and give to others.

Q: Catching an InputMismatchException until it is correct I am trying add catch blocks to my program to handle input mismatch exceptions.  I set up my first one to work inside of a do while loop, to give the user the opportunity to correct the issue.
System.out.print("Enter Customer ID: ");
int custID=0;
do {
    try {
        custID = input.nextInt();
    } catch (InputMismatchException e){
        System.out.println("Customer IDs are numbers only");
    }
} while (custID<1);

As it stands, if I try to enter a letter, it goes into an infinite loop of "Customer IDs are numbers only".
How do I make this work properly?

A: Be aware that When a scanner throws an InputMismatchException, the scanner will not pass the token that caused the exception, so that it may be retrieved or skipped via some other method.
To avoid "infinite loop of "Customer IDs are numbers only".", You need to call input.next(); in the catch statement to  to make it possible to re-enter number in Console
From
statement
catch (InputMismatchException e) {
            System.out.println("Customer IDs are numbers only");

To
catch (InputMismatchException e) {
            System.out.println("Customer IDs are numbers only");
            input.next();
        }

Example tested:
Enter Customer ID: a
Customer IDs are numbers only
b
Customer IDs are numbers only
c
Customer IDs are numbers only
11

A: What's happening is that you catch the mismatch, but the number "wrong input" still needs to be cleared and a .next() should be called. Edit: since you also require it to be greater than or equal to 1 per your do/while
boolean valid = false;
while(!valid) {
    try {
        custID = input.nextInt();
        if(custID >= 1) //we won't hit this step if not valid, but then we check to see if positive
            valid = true; //yay, both an int, and a positive one too!
    }
    catch (InputMismatchException e) {
        System.out.println("Customer IDs are numbers only");
        input.next(); //clear the input
    }
}
//code once we have an actual int

A: Why not use a scanner object to read it with Scanner.readNextInt()?

A: I got it, this is solution you are looking for:
public class InputTypeMisMatch {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        int custID=0;
        System.out.println("Please enter a number");
        while (!input.hasNextInt()) {
            System.out.println("Please enter a number");
            input.next();
        }
        custID = input.nextInt();
    }
}

2014 was a year of record growth for Mother Jones. The national investigative news outlet saw a 70 percent increase in traffic overall and its social audience grew 41 percent over the previous year.
MoJo nabbed 16 top industry awards and nearly 40 nominations, including a just-announced National Magazine Award nomination for General Excellence.
In the last several years, MoJo has reinvented itself from a bimonthly print publication (200,000 circulation) to a 24/7 multiplatform news outlet reaching 9 million readers a month. "We decided to take the ethos of longform investigative journalism daily and digital," says President and CEO Madeleine Buckingham. "And in so doing, perhaps no magazine has better demonstrated how the internet can enable a niche publication to grow into a serious player in the news ecosystem."
Today Mother Jones has a staff of 75 employees in three offices across the nation. Its mix of diversified revenue streams includes support from 40,000 individual donors--among the largest donor groups of any nonprofit news outlet--circulation income, and advertising, which saw an 8.7 percent increase in sales in 2014.

The Conservation Center would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and genuinely hope that 2015 brings goods tidings to you all. The freezing winds have blown some very interesting projects our way this January. In from the Robert R. McCormick Museum, we treated a wooden model replica of a WWII naval cruiser. Affixed with tiny, brittle flags and a plethora of unstable, toothpick-sized parts that should ideally move and operate like those on a real ship, our conservators had their work cut out for them to get this piece in working condition. Also, we thoroughly examined a relatively unknown Ed Paschke piece titled Yellow Lady from the early days of his career. Through the process, our conservators unearthed some valuable details about the painting. Finally, The Conservation Center welcomes Patience Yvette Marmer to our team as Vice President of Client Services. We are positively thrilled to have her on board!
Well before Matt Groening's Marge Simpson character became a pop icon, artist Ed Paschke (1939-2004) created his own version of a Yellow Lady in 1969. While only minor conservation was needed for this vibrant painting, the private collector knew very little about its history, causing us to reach out to the Ed Paschke Foundation and even the artist's daughter, Sharon Paschke. Neither was familiar of the piece's existence, and Sharon, especially, was excited to see a new example of her father's early work. In order to discover more about this very special Yellow Lady, we studied the canvas under ultraviolet light and found some surprising details. With these new findings, The Conservation Center was able to shed new light on this painting for its owner as well as the Paschke family.
The Conservation Center is pleased to announce the opening of its first staff art exhibition. Entitled ALTEREGOS, this assembly of work in a broad range of media is the first officially sponsored staff showing in The Center's 30-plus-year history. ALTEREGOS will be on view for two weeks at Packer Schopf Gallery, from February 20 through March 7, 2015. "We are so grateful to Aron Packer, who offered to host our first employee exhibition at his space," said Heather Becker, CEO of The Conservation Center. "I'm also extremely proud of our diverse group of talented artists who happen to be staff members of The Center." The public is cordially invited to attend the opening reception. Please e-mail to RSVP: rsvp@theconservationcenter.com.

What's old isn't new; it's timeless! New Chicagoland-based clothier brings the historical elegance of the 18th century through the 1940s into practical, stylish, fashions for 21st-century men and women.
The designers at Historica Clothiers have a mission: creating fashion that's not just something to wear, but an experience that people want to share.
"Clothing is about staying covered, fashion is how we identify ourselves and romanticize our lives. That same romanticism is what draws peoples to historically-inspired movies and vintage styles," says Nicole Allen, Historica's founder and lead-designer. Allen felt that the time was ripe for what she calls "historically-inspired, modern clothing". The concept is not to be tied to any particular era but rather to draw inspiration across history to create contemporary clothing that has historical flare and elegance, without reading as costume -- a way to address the decided lack of dress clothes that have flare and romance.
) she founded in 2002, Allen herself is particularly well-suited to blending the old with the new and the elegant with the funky to create coherent, new designs.
"Many hobbies such as historical reenactment or Steampunk [a movement of Victoriana spiced up with Jules Verne-esque gizmos] are really just one more way that modern people try creatively expressing themselves in a world of black cocktail dresses and ill fitting jeans. At the same time, for years, people who would never be caught dead in a "costume" have stopped me on the street to say 'I love what you are wearing, but I could never dress like that.' Well, no one gave me permission!"So Historica gives its patrons "permission", complete with options, inspiration and confidence to express themselves sartorially.
Drawing on the flare and romance of past eras and bringing it into a contemporary line of dress clothes, the innovative product line currently consists of four men's and four women's fashions, each with a personalized name and a storyline as a way to invite patrons into to another world. But, Allen says, "the real point is for you to make it your own, and create your own story." To show off that potential in each piece our models are real people we invite to dress up with our clothes as they see fit - from high heals and hats to jeans and kilts.
Historica is excited to offer well-made, tailored garments, that can fill an unanswered demand for original designs whose styling stands out without being so flamboyant to look out place in everyday settings. It is almost equally proud of being able to do this in all-female business whose production is centered entirely in Chicago -- ensuring both high quality and fair wages for all involved. In short, the company seeks to be as unique as the products it produces.
Says Allen, "Our take away message is simple: You don't need permission. Don't dress like everyone else; step out of the mold and bring a new level of creativity, style and FUN to your personal image!"
