IRVING, Texas, 2017-Dec-04 — /EPR Retail News/ — The Michaels Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIK) today (2017-11-30) announced financial results for the third quarter ended October 28, 2017.
Net sales increased 1.1% to $1,240.2 million, from $1,227.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, inclusive of an estimated $10 million in lost sales related to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The increase in net sales was primarily a result of a 1.0% increase in comparable store sales (0.5% on a constant currency basis), and sales from the operation of 16 new Michaels stores (net of closures) in fiscal 2017. As expected, this increase was partially offset by lower wholesale revenues.
Gross profit increased 3.8% to $484.1 million, from $466.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 100 basis points to 39.0% compared to 38.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase, as a percentage of net sales, was due to higher merchandise margin resulting from our ongoing sourcing initiatives, the timing of distribution-related costs and the comparison against $0.7 million of net non-recurring, inventory-related purchase accounting adjustments recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 related to the acquisition of Lamrite West. These benefits were partially offset by higher inventory shrinkage.
Selling, general and administrative expense, including store pre-opening costs, ("SG&A") increased 3.1% to $330.3 million, or 26.6% of sales, from $320.3 million, or 26.1% of sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to an increase in incentive-based compensation, marketing expenses and healthcare expenses. The increase was partially offset by a comparison against $1.6 million of net non-recurring integration expenses recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 related to the acquisition of Lamrite West.
Operating income increased 5.1% to $153.9 million, or 12.4% of sales, compared to $146.3 million, or 11.9% of sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Excluding net non-recurring, inventory-related purchase accounting adjustments and integration expenses associated with the acquisition of Lamrite West, adjusted operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $148.6 million.
Interest expense increased $1.3 million to $32.8 million, from $31.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 primarily due to higher interest rates on the Company's variable rate asset-based revolving credit facility and term loan credit facility.
The effective tax rate was 34.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to 29.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The higher effective tax rate was primarily due to certain federal tax credits recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and an increase in state taxes, partially offset by benefits realized from the Company's direct sourcing initiatives.
Net income increased 4.3% to $79.8 million, compared to $76.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Excluding net non-recurring, inventory-related purchase accounting adjustments, integration expenses associated with the acquisition of Lamrite West, and losses on early extinguishment of debt and refinancing costs, less related tax adjustments, adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $82.1 million.
Diluted earnings per share increased 18.9% to $0.44, from $0.37 in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the quarter were 182.0 million compared with 205.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Excluding net non-recurring, inventory-related purchase accounting adjustments, integration expenses associated with the acquisition of Lamrite West, and losses on early extinguishment of debt and refinancing costs, less related tax adjustments, adjusted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $0.40.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company opened eight new Michaels stores and one new Pat Catan's store. The Company also closed one Michaels store and three Aaron Brothers stores during the quarter. In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company opened 14 new Michaels stores and closed two Michaels stores. At the end of the third quarter, the Company operated 1,237 Michaels stores, 98 Aaron Brothers stores, and 36 Pat Catan's stores.
The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal 2017 with $176.8 million in cash, $2.9 billion in total debt and $675.7 million in availability under its asset-based revolving credit facility.
Total merchandise inventory at the end of the third quarter was $1,404.2 million compared to $1,394.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Average Michaels inventory on a per store basis, inclusive of distribution centers, in transit and inventory for the Company's e-commerce site, decreased 1.2% to $1,028,000, compared to $1,040,000 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
During the quarter, the Company purchased 2.4 million shares, or $48.6 million, under its share repurchase authorization. The total remaining authorization for future repurchases is approximately $350.0 million. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, and the timing and number of repurchase transactions under the program will depend on market conditions, corporate considerations, debt agreements, and regulatory requirements.
capital expenditures to be approximately $120 million.
The outlook for fiscal 2017 includes approximately $0.01 of favorable earnings per share impact related to 2.4 million shares repurchased in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 and approximately $0.01 of favorable earnings per share impact related to a stronger Canadian Dollar. The Company now expects the Canadian exchange rate will average $1.29 for the full year.
diluted earnings per common share to be between $1.15 and $1.18, based on diluted weighted average common shares of 182 million.

A Vote for Amendment 1 is really a Vote for Fracking…
Urban Paradise Guild
and drowning Miami and coastal areas everywhere.
By Sam Van Leer, President and Founder of Urban Paradise Guild
Floridians already have the right to Solar power
Why is Amendment 1 on the ballot?
Today, Florida voters are being bombarded with a slick corporate campaign: we are told to "Vote Yes on 1 for the Sun," yet we already have the right to Solar power. What is really going on?
Words can be twisted to deceive, but Actions tell the truth. Look at what the power monopolies are doing to understand their endgame. Know the impacts that these actions have on Florida today and in the future.
FPL and the other Power Monopolies are Fracking Corporations
FPL currently uses Fracked Gas to generate 69% of their electricity. The Power Monopolies are now investing $ Billions in new Fracked Gas power plants and infrastructure. They are spending $3 Billion on the Sabal Trail Pipeline to bring Fracked Gas to Florida. FPL is spending $1.2 Billion for a new power plant near Lake Okeechobee. This is just 2 projects…
Vote No On 1 because Amendment 1 is For the Fracking… and for Stealing the Sun!
FPL and the Power Monopolies are not leaders in Solar Power
FPL's propaganda creates the impression that their solar power is everywhere… what is the truth? FPL currently generates just 1/10 of 1% of their power from Solar, and plan to triple this by the end of 2016 to an unimpressive 3/10 of 1%.
Another way to compare is solar watts per customer. FPL generates a pathetic 32 solar watts per customer, and Gulf Power generates a mere 7 watts. Utilities in other states blow Florida away. PG&E in California generates more than 1015 watts. That is over 31 times more than the FPL, and 145 times more than Gulf Power generate… in the sunshine state.
Spending $ Billions into Fracking, but only $ Millions into Solar
It is simple: we know what the Power Monopoly Agenda is by their spending.
When we compare just the current spending on Fracking at $4.2 Billion to the $0.4 Billion for Solar, it reveals what they care about: Fracking gets 90.5% of the money. The $4.2 Billion is just what we know about of their current spending — it doesn't include prior investments, and it doesn't include additional current spending. If the Monopolies spent even 1% on Solar, that would be surprising.
(This info is based on preliminary research, and will be expanded as we can add more firm figures.)
Stealing the Sun with Amendment 1: the Monopoly Power Grab
These monopolies are private corporations that sell power. They are killing the competition: the last thing they want is every homeowner, much less small and large businesses, to be generating power for themselves and their neighbors. They are using every trick to sustain the unfree markets.
Florida Supreme Court justice Barbara Pariente wrote "Masquerading as a pro-solar energy initiative, this proposed constitutional amendment, supported by some of Florida's major investor-owned electric utility companies, actually seeks to constitutionalize the status quo."
Follow the Money. You will find that they are spending at least $21 million on a campaign to fool Florida Voters into giving away their rights to Solar. They created a fake community group with the deceptive name: Consumers for Smart Solar. They hired mercenaries to run it: ex-politicians-turned-lobbyists, PR firms, petition canvassers… and much more.
See Dark Money below.
Fracking Impacts: FPL is Drowning Florida with Methane
Fracking causes Climate Change and Sea-Level Rise. It releases Methane, which is at least 80 times more dangerous as a Greenhouse Gas than Carbon. FPL is drowning Miami and other coastal areas while telling us that "Fracking is Clean Energy".
Amendment 1 Impacts: Hurting consumers… and Drowning Florida by stopping Solar (Perspectives)
Debbie Dooley, a Tea Party activist, said that Consumers for Smart Solar: "…claims to support a free-market principle, but they are taking an anti-free-market position by siding with monopolies to stop competition from solar." (ballotpedia.org)
Neville Williams wrote in guest commentary for the Naples Daily News: "Here's what Amendment №1 would do, if passed: Under the guise of stating that consumers will have the constitutional right to own or lease solar (they already have the right), the amendment would allow state and local government to impose all manner of fees and regulations on solar users to prevent "consumers who do not choose to install solar" from subsidizing the "backup power and grid access to those who do." This is complete nonsense. Nowhere in the U.S. is grid-tied, net-metered solar power threatening any utility or power network. In reality, decentralized rooftop solar electricity provides net benefits by reducing the stress on the grid during the daytime, cutting expenditures on fossil fuels, and making privately funded clean energy available to all. The proposal also claims it will "protect consumer rights," but solar customers are already protected by state and local building regulations, electrical codes, installer licensing, certified solar practitioners and state-sanctioned utility "interconnect" agreements." (ballotpedia.org)
The Web of Dark Money… Exposed
Funding for the supposed community organization Consumers for Smart Solar all originates in the petroleum industry. Its sources are both open and covert, to give the appearance of independence.
If you are curious and have a strong stomach for the way our government is manipulated, this is a good read.

What to do about it?
Urban Paradise Guild worked with Miami-Dade County to ban fracking at the county level. Now we have a series of actions planned to fight Amendment 1, and ban Fracking on a statewide level, working with both local partners, and a statewide coalition.

… that we can truly see OURSELVES.
Searching for the self in isolation is a daunting task.
You only know who you are IN RELATIONSHIP to another human being. People are mirrors to us. They magnify back to us where we stand within ourselves.
We may not always be able to see ourselves clearly, but our reflection through others will show us how we are showing up in the world. And that reflection is our contribution to the whole.
We are all one. We come from one source and we are on a path towards unified consciousness. When one of us benefits, we all benefit. When one of us suffers, we all suffer.
There is strength in community and there is strife in isolation. We are not here to be alone. We are here to strengthen the collective consciousness. So know that blowing out someone else's candle, will never make yours burn brighter.
Don't resist others, they are there to help you remember who you are and that you are part of the whole. For without the light of others, we'd be left standing in the dark alone.

When I began my career in public service 25 years ago, I was fortunate to have outstanding mentors and role models, most notably my own parents. Ernest "Dutch" Morial and Sybil Morial were – and my mother continues to be – tireless activists and advocates for civil rights and social justice. I grew up in the movement, and was inspired by heroes such as Whitney M. Young, Roy Wilkins, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Dorothy Height. I first sought elected office in the era of Douglas Wilder, the first Black governor of Virginia, and Carol Mosely Braun, the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Senate. The management guru Peter Drucker said "there is no success without a successor," and while I humbly pray that I may represent the success of my mentors and role models, I recognize that all of us are part of a continuum.
We launched Urban League 25 to recognize and encourage the best and brightest leaders under 40 – the next generation of Dr. Mae Jemisons and Colin Powells and Barack Obamas.
When I was appointed President of the National Urban League, I remember well that one of my concerns when I joined was whether we would be able to replace the giants of the movement, the disciples of Whitney M. Young, with people who are not only qualified and committed, but who also recognized the needs and the potential of a rapidly-changing political, technological and social landscape.
We have succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. Young people are joining the movement at an unprecedented rate, and several of our affiliate CEOs have risen from the ranks of our Young Professionals.
It is these young men and women, and their counterparts in business, science, government and the arts, that we will to recognize with Urban League 25.
From corporate to government to media and technology, Urban League 25 honorees are those who are unwilling to accept the status quo. They are change agents who have reinvented business models for a new era. They believe unreachable summits do not exist. Their objective is simple yet ambitious: To redefine and power the digital revolution.
In the coming weeks, we will begin soliciting nominations for our first Urban League 25 honorees. It's a project that is close to my heart, and I look forward to celebrating the excellence that fuels not only our movement but our national institutions and culture.
Marc Morial is the president and CEO of the National Urban League.

I attended a hospitality industry conference this past weekend and met some amazing people. Hospitality is not one my of areas of interest, but I attended with an openmind. Everyone I met, weather they worked for a large corporation or a small business, all had the similar issues that I think about on a regular basis. One example that stuck with me was about branding and how to think about segmenting your product for your target audience.
The hotel industry has a very interesting challenge, they have essentially one product – rooms. But the major hotel chains have multiple brands focus on distinct target audiences and price points. I kind of knew this internally, but when the speaker gave examples, it really made sense.
For example, Starwood has 9 different brands bucketed into three categories – luxury, mainstream, extended stay. Within the ultra-luxury category (my categorization), they have three different brands – St. Regis, the Luxury Collection, and W Hotels. While they are all focused on the big/free spender, they have specific targets within that big spender audience. The St. Regis is focused on ultra high touch and service. The Luxury Collection's target audience is world travelers who want local experiences. The W is focused on young/urban trendsetters who like fashion and music. It's no coincidence the W hotel lobbies resemble a night club.
In contrast to Starwood, there is a small property in Aspen, CO called The Little Nell. Most people, including myself, have never heard of it (I did a quick poll of some friends). The Little Nell is "the" place to be in town, if you can afford it, of course. How did they get that reputation? Amazing customer service and doing "the little things" according to Yelp. If you ask regulars or locals about where to stay, they'll recommend The Little Nell over any other hotel in town.
So the morale of the story is to focus on a specific audience, be excellent at what you do and delight the customer.
I don't think any of these things are new, but it was interesting to me how it applies across industries and companies of all sizes.

Many may not know about Marling & Evans rich heritage starting back in the West Of England, the home of flanal. It was here where it established itself as the most significent mill in the area; The one responsible for producing the high quality Flannal of which this region still known for today is. From a waving workshop in the 15th century, it quickly became one of the regions most significent textile companys. By the 17th century, every discerning gentleman wore broad-cloth baring the merchant's logo. Once a completely verticle mill that survived three world wars, the mill has since had many changes in ownership and location, while never losing its tradition and Saxony qalities.
Hundreds of years later Marling & Evens has again created something exeptional, as always. Working closely with W.T Johnsen & Sons' finishing house we tested multiple combinations of weave with different finishing techniques. This Flannal Collection not only revives some of the most iconic patterns but now more suitable for the demands of a modern lifestyle. Lighter weight, softer handle yet herder wearing.
At 310 grams the dense weave feeels thinner and lighter than other cloths of its weight. Woollen yarn with a worsed feel finish enable this cloth to pass the most rigorus testing standards qualifying this cloth to be suitable for both trousers.


We know where and when the ALB vets were born, their political affiliations, which battles they fought in, and when they died. For too many Abraham Lincoln Brigade vets, this is all the information we have. In Samuel Waitzman's case, that all changed with an email.
Waitzman, Samuel. b. February 19, 1911, NYC, Jewish, Attended City of College of New York, Single, Journalist, (YCL & CP 1931) CP November 1935, u. org., Received passport# 36840 February 20, 1937 which listed his address as 680 East 140th Street, Bronx, New York and 600 East 139th Street, NYC (47 W. 87th Street, NYC), Sailed March 18, 1937, Normandie, Arrived in Spain on March 28, 1937, Served with the XV BDE, Washington BN; BDE Transport; 35th Division Sanidad; XV BDE, Sanidad, last unit British BN, rank Soldado; Served at Brunete, Quinto, Belchite, Fuentes del Ebro, Teruel, Seguro de los Baños, Retreats and Ebro Offensive; WIA July 28, 1937; Returned to the US on December 20, 1938 aboard the Ausonia, d. January 1982, New Jersey.
In the Tamiment ALB Archives there is one picture of Samuel Waitzman and a file for him in the collection of complaints of discrimination filed by ALB vets against the U.S. military during World War II.
We know where and when the ALB vets were born, often their political affiliations, which battles they fought in, and when they died. For too many Abraham Lincoln Brigade vets, this is all the information we have. What we don't often know is how they coped in Spain — with the violence, rugged conditions, displacement from their families. We have some information on these issues, but they are mostly based on reflections years after their service.
In Samuel Waitzman's case, that all changed with an email.
My father, Samuel Waitzman (1911-1982) fought in Spain as a member of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, arriving in April of 1937, I believe, and departing in December, 1938. He was a writer. He wrote extensive diaries in Spain, including some poetry and additional letters that we have in our possession. I think these are important historical documents, and I was wondering if you might be interested in archiving them in the Tamiment Collection?
Briefly, the handwritten diaries span from March 1937 to October 1938 (with specific dates included on entries). In total there are about 600 pages (about 5"x3" — some a little larger) with about 200-400 words on each page (these have all been scanned). There are also 55 pages of letters that have been scanned. Several entries bear on specific battles in the war, including Albacete and Valencia. They include descriptions of day to day life in Spain, interactions with locals, conversations on politics, some poems, song lyrics and sketches, and some intermittent Spanish phrases.
I, along with my siblings and my daughter, will be visiting NYC (incidentally Sam's birthplace as well as my own and two of my siblings) on Friday 5/12, and I would like to discuss with a curator or other relevant official connected with the Collection, the diaries and letters and whether the Library has an interest in being the repository for them. Please reply at your earliest convenience as to whether we can arrange for a meeting.
The Waitzman family (Norman, his brother David and his wife Marcia, his sisters Deborah and Mimi, and Norman's daughter, Emma) presented these documents to Tamiment on May 12.
Had an argument with someone about [… ] despised persons who died like heroes, committing acts of personal bravery to compensate for long periods of bad management – […] it is demagogue, apolitical […] not working together with fellowmen – that alas was their error afore then – why then should we honor the biggest and final error and raise it to a noble deed – when such courage is itself a declaration of contempt for collective effort? I was accused of criticizing too finely – splitting hairs – where are we to get other leaders –where the working class should, has, and must get theirs from – the masses throws* up leaders –develops them. A leader is one who can direct his following according to situations, with kindness, understanding + sincerity, regardless [of] pastime.
Portions of Samuel Waitzman's illuminating collection will be on display in Tamiment on Saturday, September 9, 2017, along with other recent additions to the ALB archive, including a recently acquired stretcher (the only one known in existence) that was used by the ALB.
Timothy V. Johnson is head of the Tamiment Library and an ALBA Board member.

Scoot investigating baggage touting syndicate @ChangiAirport
Enterprising CECA Indians at work again? :P
The touts target passengers who have excess luggage by offering them lower rates than what they have to pay at the Scoot check-in counter.
A man who requested anonymity told The New Paper that a tout approached his two friends who had excess baggage for their flight back to Chennai in India at Terminal 2 recently.
The tout, who gave his name as Raju, said he could arrange for their excess baggage to be checked in for $5 per kg, which is significantly lower than Scoot's rate of $20 per kg.
"He said he would keep $1 per kg while $4 would go to the person manning Counter 10," the man said.
When they went to Counter 10 and mentioned Raju, the check-in person put in their luggage without charging them. They later paid Raju, who told them that he holds a work permit, $65 for 13kg of excess baggage.
HOW SCAM WORKS
A TNP team later observed how the syndicate operates.
Working in small groups, about a dozen men, believed to be foreign workers, were seen approaching Scoot passengers repacking their luggage.
If the passengers accept their offer, one of them would then weigh the baggage and type something into his smartphone.
Another man would help the passengers get their luggage checked in, after which the passengers hand him money.
Replying to TNP's queries, a Scoot spokesman said the airline is investigating the claims with its service partner, which handles ground services and baggage, and Changi Airport.
She said: "Our service partner will remind their staff on the severity of illegal touting activities.
"Scoot takes this offence seriously and would pursue necessary disciplinary and legal actions should the claim be true."

Taiwan election: Tsai Ing-Wen wins landslide in rebuke to China
Incumbent's success marks dramatic comeback for party that campaigned against unification with China Tsai Ing-Wen waves to supporters after voting in Taipei, Taiwan, on 11 January. Photograph: How Hwee Young/EPA Taiwanese voters have re-elected incumbent president Tsai Ing-Wen in a landslide election that serves as a sharp rebuke to Beijing and its attempts to intimidate and cajole Taiwan into China's fold. Winning more than 8m votes, the most any presidential candidate has garnered since Taiwan began holding direct elections for the position in 1996, Tsai easily defeated her opponent Han Kuo-yu, whose Kuomintang party promotes closer ties with China . "This election is about whether or not we choose freedom and democracy," Tsai said, delivering her victory speech in Taipei. "We must work to keep our country safe and defend our sovereignty." More than 14 million citizens travelled to their hometowns to vote in the presidential and legislative election on Saturday, casting ballots in schools, temples, parking lots and community centres. Tsai's party also maintained its majority of seats in the legislature. Tsai's win, coming after major losses for her Democratic Progressive party (DPP) in the 2018 midterm elections, marks a dramatic comeback helped by a slowly improving economy, missteps by the opposition and mass protests in Hong Kong that exposed what coming under Beijing's authority might look like to many young Taiwanese. Increased intimidation from China appears to have helped Tsai, who opposes unification with the mainland. In the run-up to the election, China twice sailed its new aircraft carrier through the Taiwan strait. In a speech addressed to Taiwan last year, Chinese leader Xi Jinping said Beijing would not rule out the use of force to bring Taiwan under its authority. During Tsai's first term, Beijing cut off dialogue with Taiwan, persuaded several of its few remaining allies to drop recognition of it and halted independent travel of Chinese tourists. "This election result carries an added significance. They have shown that when our sovereignty and democracy are threatened the Taiwanese will shout our determination even more loudly back," Tsai said. "With each presidential election, Taiwan is showing how much we cherish our free democratic way of life and how much we cherish our nation," she said. Taiwan came under military rule by the Kuomintang (KMT), formerly the governing power of China, after its leaders fled the country in 1949 ahead of advancing communists. Since martial law was lifted in 1987, it has gradually evolved into one of the most vibrant democracies in Asia. Although Taiwan enjoys de facto independence, it is recognised as a state by only 15 other countries. Han, Beijing's preferred candidate, conceded the election by saying he had not "worked hard enough". "No matter what happens, I still hope to see a united Taiwan … I urge president Tsai Ing-wen to focus on giving people a life where they can live safely and happily," he said.

Abstract from Wikipedia : Leo White (November 10, 1882 – September 20, 1948) was a stage performer who appeared as a character actor in many Charlie Chaplin films. Born in Germany, he grew up in England where he started his stage career. He was brought to the United States under the aegis of Daniel Frohman, a well known Broadway producer. He started his film career in 1911 and in 1913 moved to the Essanay Studios. In 1915, he began appearing in Chaplin's comedies and continued through Chaplin's Mutual Film comedies. His last appearance in a Chaplin film was a small role in The Great Dictator, released in 1940. White also acted in and directed Triple Trouble, Essanay's last Chaplin release. Chaplin himself acknowledged Triple Trouble in his autobiography but did not actually participate in its production. (White filmed new scenes around existing footage of Chaplin.) White typically played dapper, continental villains or noblemen in films, and this typecast him for the rest of his screen career. Well into the 1940s, he was still playing excitable Frenchmen in short subjects and feature films. Before his death in 1948, White had appeared in over 400 films. He is buried in Glendale, California's Grand View Memorial Park Cemetery.

combat blind instinct, achieve compassion, and find joy. The Essay Review: Are there any short essay on new beginning directions in which you would love to see the essay, or the nonfiction genre more largely, go? And that affects you too. But, for me, it meant that I meant I knew I would be able to spend the next period of time writing poetry. I was lucky as a grad student because I was able to put a poet on my committee,.R. They were just little balls of light with arrows pointing at them, you know. So that was my challenge there.
Anyway: when the book was going to x ray diffraction thesis come out, what color should the dust jacket be? Planets is to connect poetry with science and space. So its possible, through the research, to create the life, its possible to do that. In addition to the poetry, Ackerman includes a glossary of scientific terms, as well as a section of notes that link her abstract poetical phrases to the concrete reality of science, literature, and occasionally slang in an attempt to further blend science with the poetic. Oliver Sacks autobiography I thought was really wonderful, and now there is a new book by his lover that I havent read yet that I would like to read thats just come out.

I was going to focus this week's update by talking about Jacob Gale's great session on Cherry Springs last week but given Matthew Blinston's results over the last 24 hours, he has to 'share the glory'!
Jacob was fishing last week in Kingfisher Lodge on Cherry Springs for the first time. His words from his e mail to me sums his trip up succinctly "I really enjoyed my stay at Cherry Lakes and had 13 fish in total. I am sure I'll be back again soon". His two biggest were a night caught Mirror of 26-04 and this stunning 'Linear' below of 21-02. What a cracking fish. Well done Jacob.
Matthew Blinston has been on a return trip to Cherry Lake Cottage with his family this week. Matthew has been principally fishing over-night and into the morning. Family trips meaning his swim gets a rest for much of the day. This tactic often seems to work. The last 24 hours has been good to Matthew as he has landed good looking Carp of 21-02, 27-04 (see below) and 'The Peach' at 31-14. In doing so, Matthew became the 104th member of the Cherry Lakes 30+ club.
We are extremely pleased to see 'The Peach'. She is a much sought after Ghost Mirror, and this is the first time she has been landed over 30lb's. This brings our total of properly photographed and weighed Carp over 30lbs+ this year to 19.
The Peach was last caught by Neil Ash in April this year at 29-06. Comparing photos shows just how much she has grown over this period and looks even bigger than the very honest 31-14 that she was weighed at.
As I mentioned in my last update, the Cherry Lake Carp have been on the feed for the last few weeks and we have responded by feeding heavily during the twice weekly change over periods (Judith says the Carp are like me…..the more I eat….the more I want)! This has resulted in our upper twenties not only recovering from spawning but also putting on weight. As well as being very evident in 'The Peach', the fact we had three other new 30′s last week augers extremely well for the future. I might even have to revise up my view that we have at least 25 Carp over thirty pounds in Cherry Lake at the moment. With several more months of good feeding time left, the Carp should continue to grow and put on weight . I expect the lake record of 40-04 to be broken over the next six months. Time will tell!

That is why I joined with a group of Democratic and Republican colleagues who are committed to working together to solve our economic challenges. Early in 2013, we created the United Solutions Caucus to focus on balanced ways of addressing our nation's fiscal challenges. I am proud to be a founding member of this coalition of new Representatives from both sides of the aisle who share my commitment to finding common ground and breaking through the gridlock to solve the problems facing our country. That's what New Hampshire families expect and deserve.
Founding United Solutions: I am a founding member of the United Solutions Caucus, a bipartisan coalition of New Representatives focused on finding common ground.
Pushing for Bipartisan Budget Talks: At the beginning of the 113th Congress, I led a push for congressional leadership to meet with new members of both parties to forge a bipartisan budget agreement. I have repeatedly pushed for increased bipartisan dialogue and reiterated this call when working to avoid a disastrous government shutdown.
Expand access to capital for small businesses (H.R. 1106).
From my first days in Congress, my main goal has been to bring people together in support of commonsense solutions to the challenges we face. Disagreements and debates over policy are an important and healthy part of our democracy, but at the end of the day people of good faith should come together with the goal of enacting change that will improve people's lives and keep people safe.

Go-Jek Denied Entry To The Philippines
Go-Jek, a prominent tech startup based in Indonesia which specializes in ride-hailing and logistics has been denied by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to operate in the Philippines.
According to LTFRB's Chairman Martin Delgra, Go-Jek unit Velox Technology Philippines failed to meet requirements on foreign ownership. The Philippines caps foreign ownership in certain enterprises at 40 percent.
The Indonesian ride-hailing app Go-Jek announced in May 2018 that it would expand into the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore as it takes on regional rival Grab in the fast-growing Southeast Asian market.
However, as the law on foreign ownership stands, time can only tell if this rising tech giant will soon land in the country and finally give Grab a run for its money.

\section{Introduction}
\label{intro}
Mixing is the process whereby some neutral mesons change from their particle to their anti-particle state, and vice versa. This kind of oscillation of flavor eigenstates into one another was first observed in the $K^{0}$ meson system. It has since then been seen for $B$ mesons, first in an admixture of $B^0_d$ and $B^0_s$ by UA1\cite{ua1} and then in $B^0_d$ mesons by ARGUS \cite{argus}. The combinations of these results already indicated that the frequency of $B^0_s$ mixing oscillations was higher than the frequency of $B^0_d$ oscillation. The frequency of the oscillation is proportional to the  small difference in mass between the two eigenstates, $\Delta m$,  and for the $B^0_d - \bar{B^0_d}$ system can be translated into a measurement of the CKM element $|V_{td}|$.  $\Delta m_d$ has been precisely measured (the world average is $\Delta m_d=0.502 \pm 0.007$ ps$^{-1}$) \cite{pdg} but large theoretical uncertainties dominate the extraction of $|V_{td}|$ from $\Delta m_d$. This problem can be reduced if the $B_s^0$ mass difference, $\Delta m_s$, is also measured. $|V_{td}|$  can then be extracted with better precision from the ratio:
\begin{equation}
\frac{\Delta m_s}{\Delta m_d}=\frac{m(B_s^0)}{m(B_d^0)}\xi ^2 {\mid \frac{ V_{ts
}}{V_{td}}\mid}^2
\end{equation}
where $\xi$ is estimated from Lattice QCD calculations to be $1.15 \pm 0.05_{-0.00}^{+0.12}$ \cite{pdg}. The above has motivated many experiments to search for $B_s^0$ oscillations though a statistically significant signal hasn't been observed before this work, a lower limit of $\Delta m_s >16.1 $ ps$^{-1}$ at 95\% C.L.\cite{pdg} has been set. Since this current limit indicates that the $B_s^0$ oscillations are at least 30 times faster than the $B_d^0$ oscillations, a $B_s^0$ mixing measurement is experimentally very challenging. If the Standard Model is correct, then $\Delta m_s$ is expected from global fits to the unitarity triangle to be in the range $(16.2 - 24.5)$ ps$^{-1}$ at the one standard deviation confidence level \cite{Charles:2004jd}. \\
In the $B^0_s$-$\bar{B}^0_s$ system there are two
mass eigenstates, the heavier (lighter) one having mass
$M_H$ ($M_L$) and decay width $\Gamma_H$ ($\Gamma_L$).
Denoting $\Delta m_s = M_H - M_L$ and
$\Delta \Gamma_s = \Gamma_L - \Gamma_H$, the time dependent
probability  that a $B^0_s$ oscillates into a $\bar{B}^0_s$
(or vice versa) is given by
$P^{\mathrm{osc}} = \Gamma e^{-\Gamma t}(1 - \cos\Delta m_s t)/2$
while the probability that the $B^0_s$ does not oscillate is
given by
$P^{\mathrm{nos}} = \Gamma e^{-\Gamma t}(1 + \cos\Delta m_s t)/2$,
assuming that $\Delta\Gamma_s$ is small and neglecting CP violation.

\section{Tevatron Detectors}
\subsection{CDF detector}
\label{cdfdetector}
The CDF detector is described in detail elsewhere~\cite{cdfdet}.
The components most relevant to this analysis are briefly described here.
The tracking system is in a 1.4 T axial magnetic field and consists of a silicon
microstrip detector surrounded by an open-cell wire drift chamber (COT).
The muon detectors used for this analysis
 are the central muon drift chambers (CMU), covering the pseudorapidity range
$|\eta|<0.6$, and the extension muon drift chambers (CMX), covering $0.6<|\eta|<1.0$,
where $\eta = - \ln [(\tan(\theta/2)]$ and $\theta$ is the polar angle.

\subsection{D\O\ detector}
\label{d0detector}
The D\O\ detector is described in detail elsewhere ~\cite{run2det}.
The central tracking and muon systems are the components
most important to this analysis.
The central tracking system consists of a
silicon microstrip tracker (SMT) and a central fiber tracker (CFT),
both located within a 2~T superconducting solenoidal
magnet, with designs optimized for tracking and
vertexing for pseudorapidities $|\eta|<3$ and $|\eta|<2.5$, respectively.
An outer muon system, at $|\eta|<2$,
consists of a layer of tracking detectors and scintillation trigger
counters in front of 1.8~T toroids, followed by two similar layers
after the toroids ~\cite{run2muon}.

\section{Analysis Technique}
The analysis starts with the reconstruction of the final state of the $B^0_s$ meson. At CDF, the $B^0_s$ mesons reconstructed in semileptonic as well as in hadronic decays of $B^0_s$. D\O\ uses only the semileptonic decays of the $B^0_s$ meson for the final state reconstruction. CDF has about 18,200 $B^0_s \to \ds ( \to \phi \pi) \mu^+ X$ in 765 $pb^{-1}$ of data. It also has about 2300 $B^0_s$ signal candidates in Hadronic channels.
D\O\ analyzes 1 fb$^{-1}$ of data and reconstruct $26,710 \pm 560$ events in the decay $B^0_s \to \ds ( \to \phi \pi) \mu^+ X$.

In order to know the initial flavor of the $B^0_s$ mesons, an Initial State Flavor tagging technique is used. The second $B$ meson (or baryon) in the event was used to tag the initial flavor of the reconstructed $B^0$ meson. The tagging technique utilized information from identified leptons (muons and electrons) and reconstructed secondary vertices. For reconstructed $B_{s}^{0} \rightarrow {D}_s^{-} \mu^+ X \hspace{1mm}$ decays both leptons having the same sign would indicate that one $B$ hadron had oscillated while opposite signs would indicate that neither (or both) had oscillated. The performance of the flavor tagging is characterized by the efficiency, $\epsilon = N_{\mathrm{tag}}/N_{\mathrm{tot}}$, where $N_{\mathrm{tag}}$ is the number of tagged $B^0_s$ mesons, and $N_{\mathrm{tot}}$ is the total number; the tag purity $\eta_s$, defined as $\eta_s = N_{\mathrm{cor}}/N_{\mathrm{tag}}$, where $N_{\mathrm{cor}}$ is the number of $B^0_s$ mesons with correct flavor identification; and dilution, related to purity as $\mathcal{D} = 2\eta_s -1$. The tagging can be performed on the opposite side as well as on the same side of the reconstructed $B^0_s$ meson. Three main tagging algorithms were used in the present analysis viz. Soft Lepton Tagging (where lepton could be a muon or an electron), Jet Charge Tagging and Same Side Tagging (only at CDF). The performance of the CDF's combined Opposite Side Tagging (OST) is, $\epsilon D^2 = (1.55 \pm 0.020 \pm 0.014)\%$. The Same Side Tagging (SST) Performance is, $\epsilon D^2 = (4.0+0.9-1.2)\%$. The D\O\ combined OST Performance is, $\epsilon D^2 = (2.48 \pm 0.21 +0.08 -0.06)\%$. The taggers were tuned by measuring the $B^0_d$ mixing oscillations and D\O\ finds $\Delta m_{d} = 0.506 \pm 0.020 \pm 0.014$ ps$^{-1}$ in good agreement with the world average of $\Delta m_{d} = 0.502 \pm 0.007$ ps$^{-1}$ \cite{pdg}. After applying the tagging to the D\O\ data, $5601 \pm 102$ tagged events were found.

Once the tagging is performed, the proper decay time of candidates is needed. The proper decay length of each $B^0_s$ mesons is found as $c t_{B^0_s} = (\vec{L}_{T} \cdot M_{B^0_s}/(p_{T}^{B^0_s})$, where $\vec{L}_T$ is the vector in the transverse plane from the primary to the $B^0_s$ decay vertex, and $M_{B^0_s} = 5.3696$~GeV~\cite{pdg}.  However, in the case of semileptonic $B^0_s$ decay, the undetected neutrino does not allow a precise determination of the meson's momentum and Lorentz boost. To take into account the effects of neutrinos and other lost or non-reconstructed particles, a $K$ factor was estimated from Monte Carlo (MC) simulation by finding the distribution of $K = p_T(\mu D_s)/p_T(B)$ for a given decay channel. The proper decay length of each $B^0_s$ meson is then $c t_{B^0_s} = l_M \cdot K$, where $l_M = (\vec{L}_{T}\cdot \vec{p}_T^{\mu \ds})/(p_{T}^{\mu \ds})^{2} \cdot M_{B^0_s}$ is the measured visible proper decay length (VPDL).
  The VPDL uncertainty was determined by the vertex fitting procedure and track parameter uncertainties. To account for possible mismodeling of detector uncertainties, resolution scale factors were introduced as determined by examining the pull distribution of the the vertex positions of a sample of $J/\psi \rightarrow \mu \mu$ decays.

\section{Results and Conclusions}
Using the Amplitude Fit Method \cite{ampfit} and 365 pb $^{-1}$ of data, CDF puts a limit on $B^0_s$ oscillations frequency of 8.6 ps$^{-1}$ and sensitivity of 13.0 ps$^{-1}$ at 95\% C.L.
\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{scan-semihad_f2005.eps}
\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{ampl_prl.eps}
\caption[]{Amplitude fit Scan for CDF (left) and D\O\ (right) data.}
    \label{ampl}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
D\O\ using the similar method finds a limit of 14.8 ps$^{-1}$ and sensitivity of 14.1 ps$^{-1}$ at 95\% C.L. D\O\ also performed a likelihood scan as a function of $\Delta m_s$. Figure~\ref{lhood} shows the value of $-\Delta \log\mathcal{L}$ as a function of $\Delta m_s$, indicating a favored value of 19~ps$^{-1}$, while variation of $\log\mathcal{L}$ from the minimum indicates an oscillation frequency of $17.0 < \Delta m_s < 21.0$~ps$^{-1}$ at the 90\% C.L. The uncertainties are approximately Gaussian inside this interval. The parametrized MC test shows that for a true value of $\Delta m_s = 19$~ps$^{-1}$, the probability was 15\% for measuring a value in the range $17.0 < \Delta m_s < 21.0$~ps$^{-1}$ with a -$\Delta \log\mathcal{L}$ lower by at least 1.9 than the corresponding value at $\Delta m_s = 25 ps^{-1}$. \cite{d0final} \\

\epsfbox{lhood_prl.eps}}
\caption{Likelihood Scan plot for D\O\ data. Yellow band shows the effect of systematics.}
\label{lhood}
\end{figure}
   To test the statistical significance of the observed minimum, an ensemble test using the data sample was performed by randomizing the flavor tag and retaining all other information for the candidate, effectively simulating a $B^0_s$ oscillation with an infinite frequency. The ensemble test results shows that the probability to observe a minimum in the range $16.0 < \Delta m_s < 22.0$~ps$^{-1}$ with a decrease in $-\log\mathcal{L}$ with respect to the corresponding value at $\Delta m_s = 25$ ps$^{-1}$ of more than 1.7, corresponding to our observation including systematic uncertainties, was found to be $(5.0 \pm 0.3)\%$. This range of $\Delta m_s$ was chosen to encompass the world average lower limit and the edge of our sensitive region.

\section{outlook}
Further improvements are planned for future which includes improvements both in detector and analysis technique. After this conference, CDF updated their $B^0_s$ mixing analysis and the latest CDF results can be found here~\cite{cdfresult}.

Q: reference argument on Cuda I didn't know cuda doesn't support reference arguments. There are these two functions in my program:
  __global__ void
  ExtractDisparityKernel (  ExtractDisparity& es)
  {
    es ();
  }

  __device__ __forceinline__ void
  computeAdjacentValue (int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, float& value )
  {   ....
  }

Given the global function, the compiler reports error:
      /home/lv/pcl-trunk/gpu/kinfu_large_scale/src/cuda/estimate_combined.cu(959): error: a global routine cannot have reference arguments
I searched for some solutions. Somebody says it is not allowed.
But the device function doesn't report such kind of errors. I'm confused that whether cuda supports reference argument. Or the compiler is fooled somehow.
Can anyone give a complete answer to this problem: where reference is allowed and not allowed?

A: A reference argument on a __global__ function would not work, because passing the argument by reference in effect creates a pointer that the function will use to reference the argument.  However this would usually result in dereferencing a host pointer on the device code, which is not allowed.
A __device__ function may use reference arguments, however, because dereferencing a device pointer in device code is legal.
Regarding a "solution", just pass a pointer:
ExtractDisparityKernel (  ExtractDisparity *es)

And of course, make sure the argument you pass is a proper cudaMalloc-created pointer.
Generally speaking, contrary to the comment below, it is possible to use reference arguments on child kernels in a CDP (CUDA Dynamic Parallelism) setting.  Certain types of reference arguments may still be unusable due to other limitations in a CDP setting, such as the limitation on use of the local memory space of the parent kernel.
And with the advent of unified memory (UM), it is possible now to use reference arguments even on kernels invoked from host code, with proper use of UM.  Similarly, reference arguments referring to pinned host memory can be used.

Between the grandiose dimensions of a beaded caftan and the casual sloppiness of an oversize slogan tee, the beach has become a land of sartorial extremes. Thankfully there are several designers redressing the balance this season, and clothes that challenge the notion of covering up altogether. "We've gotten far too comfortable with being comfortable," says designer Thomasine Dolan, who launched her namesake line of womenswear earlier this year. "A lot of people look like they've just come from the gym." To add a little rigor to a two-piece bathing suit, Dolan suggests a shirtdress or sheer slip. "I don't think summer clothes should be too precious," adds the New York–based designer, who often travels long-haul with little more than her carry-on duffel bag. "They are actually more charming when they're a little crushed." Even her sailing-rope belts and bracelets look better with the patina of the sea.
Swimwear designer Matthew Zink prefers to use the city as a starting point for the beach. "It's important that my collection translates to the street," says Zink. "Versatility is everything. A caftan is great when you're on vacation, but what use is it when you come home?" For Zink, a billowing jumpsuit is just the right foil for his classic string bikinis. Wear it over a bathing suit to the beach by day, and then amp up the glamour with a white tuxedo jacket à la Bianca Jagger when the sun goes down.
Tribune Standard designer Tawfik Mounayer channeled a similar seventies sensuality with his macramé shawls for resort 2012. While the hand-knotted pieces leave skin partially exposed to a tropical sun, they layer just as well over a turtleneck on the plane home. In that vein, a mesh sweater is a great trans-seasonal piece as well. Alexander Wang might not have had a beach in mind when he designed his urban asymmetric knits for spring, but they certainly will do double duty on deck. In the case of covering up this summer, it seems the best investments are artfully ridden with holes.
