Crossing the Rubicon: The Dynamics of Restraint in Civil War
Johan Brosché, Associate Professor

Corinne Bara, Assistant Professor
In recent times, more than half of all people killed in civil wars died in Afghanistan or Syria. This raises a question to which we have surprisingly few answers so far: Why do some civil wars become so much more severe than others?
This project has set out to find answers to this important question, with a focus on the sources of restraint in civil war. Deepening knowledge on restraint in war is crucial for building resilient societies and contain existing civil wars.
We depart from previous research in two important ways. First, previous research has primarily focused on factors that drive the death toll upwards, while our understanding of the factors that restrain escalation and depress the body count remains narrow. We emphasize both causes of escalation and restraint and explore how actor characteristics, institutions, and norms restrain actors' use of violence.
Second, earlier scholarship tends to compare the most severe civil wars to all others. In contrast, we break new ground by identifying civil wars that saw low severity despite a high risk of escalation. Comparing these cases to more severe civil wars will yield new insights on the sources of restraint in civil war.
We employ multiple approaches to find answers to the question of why some civil wars become much more deadly than others. This includes field research in Darfur (Sudan) and Côte d'Ivoire; a comparison of these cases; a Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) of a set of cases considered to be at a high risk for conflict escalation, as well as global statistical analyses of civil war severity.

What is social selling and why do you need it?
A guide to the latest in-vogue marketing trend and how to win custom through digital word-of-mouth referrals.
Faye Ferris
It may suit some to portray social selling as the latest complex incarnation of marketing's dark arts.
And yet, as salesforce.com says, there is also something reassuringly straightforward and familiar about its 'social' descriptor:
"All selling is social. Always has been. Always will be."
Consumer history records that prospective buyers once routinely consulted their social circle prior to purchase, consistently 'swore by' decent products and possibly swore at suppliers about shoddy goods and services.
The same behaviours exist in today's consumer society; it's just that the discourse has largely moved on to digital forums. With 69% of Australians using social media in 2015, and 28% of that total actively conducting consumer-related product research, contemporary marketing is all about understanding the significance of this shift.
The same phenomenon is evident in B2B where LinkedIn's vice-president of sales solutions, Mike Derezin, also believes social selling is now a mainstream trend.
"We're seeing a critical mass of buyers," he says. "LinkedIn has over 313 million members and here in Australia we have over six million members. That's north of 80% of Australian professionals."
Customer relocation: the implications
While customer online purchasing is understood, the implications of consumers and clients taking to social media are not always fully appreciated.
Savvy buyers are now better prepared than ever when it comes to making smart purchasing decisions.
Using a mix of social media and other online sources, they can now discover volumes of product data, opinion, user reviews, comparisons, case studies and industry-gossip blogs without even once clicking on the manufacturer's own website.
Though a corporate homepage is always impressive and its page links point to informative and well-edited product detail, the alternative options have an authentic independence and 'straight from the horse's mouth' appeal that is very hard to match.
Social selling as a response
Companies must now adapt their marketing strategies to reflect this new context. Well-informed prospective purchasers in any setting now have very different expectations and are much less impressed by a well-honed 'features and benefits' pitch.
According to Peter Kim, director of sales at LinkedIn, this means any kind of sales contact must necessarily become a much more nuanced encounter: "Before you engage with anyone, do some research on them.
"Find some information to establish a rapport and find some common ground. Ideally, that would be a mutual relationship – someone who can give you an introduction. Commonality is what builds trust."
Social selling in action
LinkedIn have conceptualised the process of social selling as a four-step procedure that evolves progressively over time:
1. Create a professional brand with its own integrity and reputation
2. Identify your target audience on social media with detailed precision
3. Engage your prospects with useful and relevant insights
4. Build a trustful relationship
Avoiding self-promotion
Even when active on social media, some businesses clearly employ the platform simply to expand their media presence and boast about their achievements and market position.
However measured and factually accurate such statements may be, this strategy is unlikely to persuade prospective clients that they are customer-oriented and is therefore seldom productive.
Genuine social selling across social media is much more likely to result in a sales relationship, provided the potential purchaser really believes that the business considers his positive experience of the product and brand to be central to the whole transaction.
Sales and marketing functions
One important message social selling conveys is that, in the social media marketplace, products and services are sold thanks to a subtle blend in which price, features, reputation and customer service are all important components.
For many organisations, this means that selling and marketing functions should be closely linked and even overlap in response to customer demands. New technologies and expanding consumer access to multiple information channels are also likely to accelerate an inevitable convergence.
Though social media has altered the typical customer journey, social selling still depends on many virtues practised in old-school networking and sales psychology: the customer is valued, their needs are paramount, a bond of trust is essential and the company's reputation simply enhances the bargain.
Essentially, the contemporary consumer is extremely wary of buying from strangers, but will look much more positively on a seller who at least understands and shares their perspective, and may eventually become a trusted and familiar friend. The important difference is that, in a social media context, this process could be conducted on a global scale.

This brownie layered Christmas Tree Tower not only looks festive, but makes a great centerpiece too! See recipe for details here.
Preheat oven at 350°F. Lightly grease 12, 8, 4 and 2 inch round pans.
Prepare brownie mixes in two large separate bowls as instructed. Beat ingredients at a low speed with electric mixer until moistened. Beat at a medium speed for 2 minutes until batters are smooth.
Fill 12 inch round pan with milk chocolate or dark chocolate brownie mix, whichever flavor you'd prefer to be your base layer, then alternate layers until you reach the top layer.
Fill 8, 4 and 2 inch round pans with milk chocolate and dark chocolate brownie mix.
Bake for 25–35 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of brownie comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes and remove to cooling racks to cool completely. Now repeat this process again.
Place one of your 12 inch layers as the base layer onto cake stand. Cut the other 12 inch layer down to 10 inches and place on top of the 12 inch layer — alternating between milk chocolate and dark chocolate brownie layers.
Place one of the 8 inch layers on top of the 10 inch layer. Cut the other 8 inch layer down to 6 inches and place on top of the 8 inch layer.
Place one of the 4 inch layers on top of the 6 inch layer. Cut the other 4 inch layer down to 3 inches and place on top of the 4 inch layer.
Place one of the 2 inch layers on top of the 3 inch layer. Cut the other 2 inch layer down to 1.5 inches and place on top of the 2 inch layer to top off the Christmas tree brownie tower.
Once assembled, fill your decorating bag with green icing and attach your leaf decorating tip. Before applying leaves to the outer edges of the brownie layers, make sure all air bubbles are released from your decorating bag. Apply green leaves, starting with the bottom layer and working your way up, all the way around the layers.
Top Christmas tree brownie layered tower off with a Palmer® Christmas Pop.

History of Drury Plaza Hotel Cleveland Downtown
Cleveland architectural firm Walker and Weeks is credited with the completion of the Board of Education building in 1931 on the east side of the Cleveland Mall. The building is one of six contributing to the Mall and completes the Group Plan of Cleveland of 1903, the earliest and most fully realized plan for a major city outside of Washington, D.C.
The building is similar in nature to the other buildings on the Mall. Walker and Weeks designed the building in the Classical, Beaux-Arts style, which is characterized by arched windows and doors, Classical details, symmetry, statuary and art.
A statue of Abraham Lincoln by Max Kalish, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, sits on the west side of the building. District schoolchildren paid for the statue, which includes The Gettysburg Address at its base.
The two-story lobby features two fully restored murals painted by Cora Holden in 1931. Both "The Progress of Education" and "The Branches of Education" measure 12' x 16'. Rolf Stolls also painted two murals, which have also been restored, in the auditorium.
Drury Hotels began the preservation and restoration of the building in 2014. The stage in the auditorium remains, and the rest of the auditorium has been transformed into meeting space. The original board room, where the Board of Education first held and continued to hold their board meetings, has also been transformed into a meeting space. The original table from the board room has been refinished and kept on-site and is on display in the third floor hallway in the area of the former superintendent's office.
The former library has been preserved; the wooden shelves lining the hand-painted linen walls have been restored and remain part of the now 900-square-foot executive king suite. The suite also boasts a conference table for meetings.
The copper roof was replaced with copper in 2016, and the original windows were removed, restored and re-installed. The remaining historic doors, door casings and light fixtures were also removed, restored and re-installed on historic floors (floors one through three). The remaining marble was salvaged, reconditioned, cleaned and put back in place on these same floors. Any historic remaining exit signs that were salvageable were restored and re-used throughout the building.
The hotel is located across the street from the FirstMerit Convention Center of Cleveland and the Global Center for Health Innovation. It is walking distance to the FirstEnergy Stadium, where the Cleveland Browns play; the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum; the Great Lakes Science Center, Progressive Field, where the Cleveland Indians play; and the Quicken Loans Arena, home of the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers, the AHL Lake Erie Monsters, the AFL Cleveland Gladiators and entertainment.

In this course, Professor Seamus Perry (University of Oxford) explores the poetry of T. S. Eliot through five key poems. In the first three modules, we explore 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock', thinking in particular about its status as a dramatic monologue, its 'difficulty' (and the 'difficulty' of Eliot's poetry more generally), and the presentation of the narrator's social anxieties. After that, we turn to 'Portrait of a Lady', where we think about the tension between civilization and savagery, before turning in the next six modules to Eliot's modernist masterpiece, 'The Waste Land', providing an introduction to the poem as a whole before going through each of the five parts of the poem in turn. After that, in the eleventh module, we turn to 'The Hollow Men', before ending by thinking about Eliot's conversion to Anglicanism in 1927, and his application of the modernist technique to the Christian story of the nativity in 'The Journey of the Magi'.
Seamus' interests are principally in the field of English Romantic poetry and thought, especially Coleridge and Wordsworth, and in post-Romantic English poetry, especially Tennyson, Eliot, Auden, Larkin, and their circles. He also has an interest in the modern history of criticism, reflected in articles on A.C. Bradley, William Empson, F.W. Bateson, and M.H. Abrams. He is co-editor, with Christopher Ricks, of the journal Essays in Criticism: A Quarterly Journal of Literary Criticism (OUP), and the general editor of the new series, 21st-Century Oxford Authors (OUP). He often reviews for the Times Literary Supplement, the London Review of Books, and the Literary Review. He is also Fellow Librarian of Balliol.

A couple of weeks ago, I opened my Macbook Pro as usual. The keyboard lit up, as usual. I waited – there's that pause while the display gathers itself (it's a 2012 model) and the processor pulls everything together and presents the login window.
Except this time, nothing. The display didn't light. There was the quiet sound of the fans going, but nothing. Oh dear. Closed the display, opened it to catch it unawares – no, that wasn't going to fool it. After a bit more futzing around, I concluded that it was not in the mood to work. But I had work to do, and so I turned to my iPad Pro.

Josh McCaslin of Portland-based noir country act Roselit Bone tells me in L.A. it's pretty normal to consider country, blues — and even Chicano — a huge part of the punk melting pot.
Roselit Bone, a nine-piece band blending country, punk rock and ranchera music, returns to Eugene behind their 2017 release Blister Steel.
On the album McCaslin's heavily reverb-affected tenor soars some place similar to Ryan Adams, with Roy Orbison-style operatic punctuation marks, Buddy Holly falsetto hiccups and Tom Waits melodrama. He sings over guitars, mandolins, accordions and horns.
One minute it's a soundtrack to a spaghetti western, a lonely cowboy alone on a desert landscape. The next minute, as on album-track "Tie-Dye Cowboy," it's a straight-ahead hoedown for the queen of the rodeo, somewhere south of the border.
"Everything is pretty dark," he describes. "Everything's super sparse and maybe a little depressing. I do write in character a lot." A lot of the character he embodies is drawn from real-life people.
Performing with Roselit Bone at Sam Bond's Garage's anniversary party is Eugene-based psych and surf rockers Granrojo. The party starts 9:30 pm Saturday, July 21, at Sam Bond's $6, 21-plus.

How could the brothers drink with Yosef?
Towards the end of parshas Miketz (Bereishit 43:34), it mentions that the brothers drank with Yosef. Considering that as far as the brothers knew, they were surrounded by idol-worshipers, were they allowed to drink? Obviously, this is all pre-Matan Torah, but from from a biblical or rabbinical standpoint, was there an issue of yayin nesech or the like?
grapes-wine yosef miketz yayin-nesech
Welcome to Mi Yodeya, and thanks for the interesting question (+1)! Unless you have something special about the number 8612, you might want to give yourself a more recognizable name. :) – Scimonster Dec 21 '14 at 13:44
Imrei Baruch says the following answers to your question.
A: Chizkuni - The brothers drank since at that moment there was no Gezaira (decree) yet for Stam Yainom (non-Jewish wine).
B: Medrosh Talpios: They drank out of "Aimas Hamalchus" (fear of the king)
C: He goes on to say that the brothers considered themselves as Bnai Noach and thus together with "Aimas Hamalchus" felt it was the proper thing to do in this case.
Gershon GoldGershon Gold
Note that Midrash Talpiyot is Sabbatian. – mevaqesh Mar 27 '17 at 1:05
Update: The answer below deals with yayin nesech and does not speak about "Stam Yanom" because it did not apply at thet time.
Note that it says in 43:32 it says
וַיָּשִׂימוּ לוֹ לְבַדּוֹ וְלָהֶם לְבַדָּם וְלַמִּצְרִים הָאֹכְלִים אִתּוֹ לְבַדָּם כִּי לֹא יוּכְלוּן הַמִּצְרִים לֶאֱכֹל אֶת הָעִבְרִים לֶחֶם כִּי תוֹעֵבָה הִוא לְמִצְרָיִם:
And they set for him separately and for them separately, and for the Egyptians who ate with him separately, because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, because it is an abomination to the Egyptians.
Rav Hirsch points out that Yosef had maintained the appropriate standards and had trained the Egyptians on how to serve the food. Similarly "by themselves" would mean that they would ensure that the brothers received the proper food and would have shown them that they were preparing it "properly".
The brothers would not have relied on Yosef's authority, but the Egyptians would have called in one of the brothers to certify that it was done properly, just as they would have called in one of an ambassador's staff for his meal.
As a cosmopolitan empire they would be well trained in how to serve guests of all nations and beliefs. Consider the modern state dinners in the White House where the Arab ambassadors are served Hallal and the Israeli Ambassador is served Kosher food, even if in private life they do not keep the religious restrictions.
Logically, they would not serve wine that had been "sanctified" to their avodas zarah as that was "toevah" for them. This would mean that the brothers would have been carefully served wine that was not yayin nesech.
That is, unlike some avodas zarah nowadays, who first place food and drink in front of an idol (as happened to a Jerusalem restaurant), before giving it to the regular people, the Egyptians (since it was a toevah) would never have dared insult the "gods" in this way. That is, serving "infidels" food or drink that had also been offered to the "gods" would be an insult to the "gods" and punished as such (according to their belief).
UPDATE: As an example, the yayin nesech (libations) offered to the "gods" by the Greeks (as shown in the Odyssey) were offered by individuals just before they drank. The wine was not poured as a libation while it was stored or or being brought to the banquet.
The "consecrated" wine used by the church nowadays is never served in any way other than as part of the "service".
Thus we see that the brothers did not have to worry about yayin nesech at that time.
sabbahillelsabbahillel
Seeing as the brothers didn't know It was Yosef orchestrating the whole event, on what authority could they have relied on to say that the wine was indeed 'kosher'? Meaning, could they have relied on the mere assurance of what they believed was an Egyptian ruler? Also, I think Onkelus points out that the reason the Egyptians were disgusted by the Brothers was simply because the Egyptians did not eat meat, while the brothers did. – user8612 Dec 21 '14 at 14:56
@user8612 Not the authority of the ruler, but the fact that unlike the Greeks (as an example), the Egyptians would have carefully (for their own reasons), never have given "infidels" wine that had been offered to the "gods". – sabbahillel Dec 21 '14 at 15:03
"As a cosmopolitan empire they would be well trained in how to serve guests of all nations and beliefs" - even one with a population of <70 members?? i know what R. hirsch says but it seems highly implausible, as the brothers had to say בני איש אחד אנו, to introduce themselves. If the Egyptians didn't know who Yaakov was, they certainly woukdn't know their dietary preferences – הנער הזה Dec 21 '14 at 15:17
Do you have a source for your final claim? Why do you assume the Egyptians were different than any other idolatrous nation in this respect? – Y e z Dec 21 '14 at 15:37
@YeZ The different idolatrous nations each had their own customs. From the pasuk that it was toevah to eat together seems to mean that the "gods" would also consider it toevah to have "infidels" share their food. In any case, the logical thing for dealing with foreigners seems to be to have them certify their own food as at a White House State dinner. – sabbahillel Dec 21 '14 at 19:19
The Rambam says in a responsum (p'er Hador) that the Avos DIDNT keep the Torah. THis can also be inferred from his words in the begining of the 9th chapter of hil. melachim (note Lechem Mishnah thereon). However, rational mitzvos they presumably still kept. Thus the Rambam's world who are staunchly opposed to drinking (see hil. de'os 5:3, for example) have the problem that the brothers drinking was obscene if not technically forbidden. Thus R. Avraham Ben HaRambam approvingly cites R. Shmuel Bar Chofni Gaon who explains that they only got a little drunk, but not to the point that they lost the ability to think straight.

Albert Livingston Hadley Jr. (November 18, 1920 – March 29, 2012) was an American interior designer and decorator.

Hadley was born in Springfield, Tennessee, in 1920. He attended Peabody College in Nashville for two years, after which he worked as an assistant to one of the South's best-known decorators, A. Herbert Rodgers.

After serving overseas in World War II, Hadley moved to New York. Beginning in 1947, he studied at the Parsons School of Design, and after graduating in 1949, joined the school's faculty. He formed his own design studio, worked from 1956 until 1962 at the distinguished New York interior design firm of McMillen, Inc., and then co-founded Parish-Hadley, Associates (1962–1999) with the interior decorator, Sister Parish (1910–1994).

Hadley's clients included former Vice President Albert Gore and Tipper Gore; Babe Paley and William S. Paley; Oscar de la Renta and Annette de la Renta; Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis;
Ambassador and Mrs. Henry Grunwald; Dr. and Mrs. G. Patrick Maxwell; Mike Nichols and Diane Sawyer; Mrs. Brooke Astor; and various members of the Astor and Getty families.

Hadley worked in a variety of styles, including modern, Victorian, and Georgian. He was lauded with numerous international design awards for his creative output. He was inducted into the Interior Design Hall of Fame in 1986.

If you're working out but struggling to lose weight, check this list for the answer to your problem.
So you've been working out regularly for a few months and you're feeling fit. There's only one problem—you haven't lost much weight. With obesity at an all-time high worldwide, you deserve applause for making an active effort to lose weight and prevent this disease.
So you've been working out regularly for a few months and you're feeling fit. There's only one problem—you haven't lost much weight. With obesity at an all-time high worldwide, you deserve applause for making an active effort to lose weight and prevent this disease.
Cardio is crucial for every workout routine, because it strengthens the heart and boosts metabolism. But if you're doing too much of it or if you're doing only cardio, you may be unable to lose the weight you had desired. In fact, it might even have the opposite effect.
Longer cardio sessions can change the body in such a way that it's more focused on endurance, which means that it stores fat to use as fuel for energy. In addition, an extensive cardio session can leave you feeling immensely hungry, so you're more likely to overeat or indulge in unnecessary snacking.
Solution: Exercising is a great way to lose weight, but you need to perform the right exercises in the right balance to achieve ideal results. Avoid doing more than 50 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio in a day. Mix it up with strength training and aerobic exercises to tone your muscles, burn calories, and increase your flexibility. When you start feeling too comfortable doing the same routine, challenge your body with a more intense workout routine.
You've heard how it's always necessary to be on a diet in addition to working out regularly. But a lot of people have the habit of adopting a new diet every other week because they've heard it "really works well" for this person or that person. Switching from one diet to another will only hamper your weight loss efforts; it could even be harmful for your health in the long run.
Solution: Choose a diet that seems to work for you and stick to it. You can make improvements and adjustments now and then, but don't get into the habit of trying every new diet that hits the fitness scene.
You say you've been on a proper diet and you've been sticking to it for months. But what if your diet just isn't the right one? Maybe you're missing out on some essential nutrients because you're too watchful of what you eat. Though cutting down on portions is crucial for weight loss, your diet still needs to be balanced and healthy for optimal health and fitness.
Another possible reason why you're not losing weight is that you might be eating the right foods on the wrong day.
Solution: Don't starve yourself, but don't overstuff yourself either. Eat healthy, natural foods at the right time and in the right amounts. Try to distribute your food consumption evenly based on different days. For instance, foods rich in complex carbs (like whole wheat pasta and brown rice) are ideal on days you engage in high-intensity and strength training exercises.
During rest days or days when you do light cardio exercise, stick to protein and veggies and cut down on starch. Avoid simple carbs and processed foods at all cost, since they can hold back your weight loss progress.
Lack of sleep can harm your health and damage your weight loss efforts. When you don't get enough shuteye, your body automatically switches into carb-craving mode, and you tend to indulge in unnecessary snacking and overeating. This naturally has a negative impact on your weight despite the fact that you are working out regularly.
Solution: Try to maintain a proper sleep schedule, one that allows you to get at least 6 hours of sleep per day. Instead of going to bed exactly 6 hours before you need to wake up, give yourself an hour or two of buffer time, in case you can't fall asleep immediately. At the same time, avoid sleeping too much since that can leave you feeling tired and inactive. Anywhere between 6 and 9 hours of sleep per day should be ideal for adults.
These are among the most common reasons why people don't lose sufficient weight despite working out regularly. If you're guilty of one or more of them, address the issue and make the appropriate lifestyle changes that promote healthy weight loss. Are you making any of these mistakes?

I'm Danish, born in 1964, and have been living in Rome since 1997. I have always loved writing and at a certain point, after my arrival in Rome, I started to collaborate with magazines producing travel articles. It was from this that the Danish Daily wanted to publish a travel article of mine from an Italian island. Unfortunately the PR-photos were of a too poor quality. In other words, I had to do the photos myself. This is when I purchased my first ever 5-mega-pixel camera. That was back in 2003, and since then, my interest in photography has been steadily increasing. I had been working for the Danish Embassy in Rome for ten years, but in 2009 I took the jump to become a full time freelance journalist and photographer shooting travel, culture, food & wine and interviews. Everything with my own imagery.
We – a total of eight persons – were doing a 7 day on-the-road-trip round Morocco, two days of which were spent in Marrakesh. As I needed to travel light, I packed only my Fuji gear – Fuji X-E2, the 18-55mm kit lens and the 35 mm lens for portraits & food. I must say that I find this a excellent combination and the overall weight is significantly reduced compared to DSLR gear.
Travelling in a country with a completely different culture to my own I wanted to play it safe. So I asked most people if I could take their photo, especially regarding portraits, which I guess is quite obvious. There were occasions where some scenes were too good to miss, and in these circumstances I fired from the hip, looking elsewhere.
Generally speaking, Marrakesh is a very photogenic location. There are so many varied situations, so wonderfully exotic, with such incredible faces, emotions, the colours, the textures. Everything seems to be calling you to be immortalized.
Aside from my daily work, I like to have detailed, lengthy photographic projects and I'll soon be leaving Rome for my summer holidays. I'll be driving through the south of Italy to the island of Pantelleria, south of Sicily. During that month of holiday I'm planning on doing a project called "People I met", taking portraits of people I'd casually meet during that month. On a long term basis, I'm working on a project where I'll be photographing different kinds of Roman artisans in their working environments. This project will be continuing into 2016.
This reminded me of a trip to Marrakesh in 2009. It does indeed have many scenes and places crying out to be photographed.
Nice Article , you are young the Long Road ahead will help you , good Lucj.
great tones and rich colours, really depicts the mood of the place.. nice work.
The colors just seem to pop off of the screen. Did you use in-camera settings or PP to get that look.
Sharing that look would be great!


I decided it was way past time that I review one of Samsung's tablets. I've reviewed all the major brands of tablets before, and a lot of non-major brands, so when Samsung released their latest line of Android tablets at the beginning of this month I picked up the 7-inch model to review.
I initially wrote off the new Galaxy Tab 4 lineup of tablets because the specs aren't as good as some similar tablets, but I've found that specs don't always mean everything when it comes to Android tablets—there are a lot more variables than just processor speed and screen resolution.
I've been using the Galaxy Tab 4 for two weeks now, and I just got the written review and video walkthrough posted. Hit the link below for the full review. I'll also be posting some comparison reviews between the Galaxy Tab 4 and the 2nd gen Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HDX, so check back soon for those.
On another note, what is the stand you used in this review to hold the tablet. It seems pretty cool. If it is something that you like can you post a link please?
I know what you mean. I miss reviewing all the different ebook readers when there was something new coming out every few months too. Sure is a lot different now.
The stand I use in the video is called the 3feet stand. I reviewed it a couple years ago, and still use it all the time. It's a pretty cool little stand.
Nathan, let me echo the first comment — great review and let me add that I enjoy the video reviews a lot. Seeing the device in actual use gives a fairly new to tablet culture person more understanding. Also, they are quite thorough.


During the Taking Action on Overuse project, we partnered with three diverse health care organizations that used the Taking Action on Overuse Framework to address overuse topics. The partner sites are UCLA Medical Group, Swedish Medical System, and Missouri Primary Care Association. Much was learned about the challenges and opportunities of addressing overuse.
Reducing overuse is challenging and takes time, perhaps more so than traditional QI projects.
Sustained leadership engagement is necessary to the success of overuse reduction efforts.


This book presents the main concepts of linear algebra from the viewpoint of applied scientists such as computer scientists and engineers, without compromising on mathematical rigor. Based on the idea that computational scientists and engineers need, in both research and professional life, an understanding of theoretical concepts of mathematics in order to be able to propose research advances and innovative solutions, every concept is thoroughly introduced and is accompanied by its informal interpretation. Furthermore, most of the theorems included are first rigorously proved and then shown in practice by a numerical example. When appropriate, topics are presented also by means of pseudocodes, thus highlighting the computer implementation of algebraic theory. It is structured to be accessible to everybody, from students of pure mathematics who are approaching algebra for the first time to researchers and graduate students in applied sciences who need a theoretical manual of algebra to successfully perform their research. Most importantly, this book is designed to be ideal for both theoretical and practical minds and to offer to both alternative and complementary perspectives to study and understand linear algebra.
Encompasses the full range of computational science and engineering from modelling to solution, both analytical and numerical. It develops a framework for the equations and numerical methods of applied mathematics. Gilbert Strang has taught this material to thousands of engineers and scientists (and many more on MIT's OpenCourseWare 18.085-6). His experience is seen in his clear explanations, wide range of examples, and teaching method. The book is solution-based and not formula-based: it integrates analysis and algorithms and MATLAB codes to explain each topic as effectively as possible. The topics include applied linear algebra and fast solvers, differential equations with finite differences and finite elements, Fourier analysis and optimization. This book also serves as a reference for the whole community of computational scientists and engineers. Supporting resources, including MATLAB codes, problem solutions and video lectures from Gilbert Strang's 18.085 courses at MIT, are provided at math.mit.edu/cse.
An introduction to graph algorithms accessible to those without a computer science background.

"Prerequisites for using this text are knowledge of calculus and some previous exposure to matrices and linear algebra, including, for example, a basic knowledge of determinants, singularity of matrices, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and positive definite matrices. There are exercises at the end of each chapter."--BOOK JACKET.
The book "Computational Error and Complexity in Science and Engineering pervades all the science and engineering disciplines where computation occurs. Scientific and engineering computation happens to be the interface between the mathematical model/problem and the real world application. One needs to obtain good quality numerical values for any real-world implementation. Just mathematical quantities symbols are of no use to engineers/technologists. Computational complexity of the numerical method to solve the mathematical model, also computed along with the solution, on the other hand, will tell us how much computation/computational effort has been spent to achieve that quality of result. Anyone who wants the specified physical problem to be solved has every right to know the quality of the solution as well as the resources spent for the solution. The computed error as well as the complexity provide the scientific convincing answer to these questions. Specifically some of the disciplines in which the book will be readily useful are (i) Computational Mathematics, (ii) Applied Mathematics/Computational Engineering, Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulation and Modelling. Operations Research (both deterministic and stochastic), Computing Methodologies, Computer Applications, and Numerical Methods in Engineering. Key Features: - Describes precisely ready-to-use computational error and complexity - Includes simple easy-to-grasp examples wherever necessary. - Presents error and complexity in error-free, parallel, and probabilistic methods. - Discusses deterministic and probabilistic methods with error and complexity. - Points out the scope and limitation of mathematical error-bounds. - Provides a comprehensive up-to-date bibliography after each chapter. · Describes precisely ready-to-use computational error and complexity · Includes simple easy-to-grasp examples wherever necessary. · Presents error and complexity in error-free, parallel, and probabilistic methods. · Discusses deterministic and probabilistic methods with error and complexity. · Points out the scope and limitation of mathematical error-bounds. · Provides a comprehensive up-to-date bibliography after each chapter.
In the past few decades, many significant insights have been gained into several areas of computational methods in sciences and engineering. New problems and methodologies have appeared in some areas of sciences and engineering. There is always a need in these fields for the advancement of information exchange. The aim of this book is to facilitate the sharing of ideas, problems and methodologies between computational scientists and engineers in several disciplines. Extended abstracts of papers on the recent advances regarding computational methods in sciences and engineering are provided. The book briefly describes new methods in numerical analysis, computational mathematics, computational and theoretical physics, computational and theoretical chemistry, computational biology, computational mechanics, computational engineering, computational medicine, high performance computing, etc.
Presenting the fundamentals of linear algebra, this book progresses from matrix theory to the abstract notions of linear space, and covers eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Applications are shown in each chapter, along with problems and exercises.
Reviews the fundamental concepts behind the theory and computation of electromagnetic fields The book is divided in two parts. The first part covers both fundamental theories (such as vector analysis, Maxwell's equations, boundary condition, and transmission line theory) and advanced topics (such as wave transformation, addition theorems, and fields in layered media) in order to benefit students at all levels. The second part of the book covers the major computational methods for numerical analysis of electromagnetic fields for engineering applications. These methods include the three fundamental approaches for numerical analysis of electromagnetic fields: the finite difference method (the finite difference time-domain method in particular), the finite element method, and the integral equation-based moment method. The second part also examines fast algorithms for solving integral equations and hybrid techniques that combine different numerical methods to seek more efficient solutions of complicated electromagnetic problems. Theory and Computation of Electromagnetic Fields, Second Edition: Provides the foundation necessary for graduate students to learn and understand more advanced topics Discusses electromagnetic analysis in rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates Covers computational electromagnetics in both frequency and time domains Includes new and updated homework problems and examples Theory and Computation of Electromagnetic Fields, Second Edition is written for advanced undergraduate and graduate level electrical engineering students. This book can also be used as a reference for professional engineers interested in learning about analysis and computation skills.
This compact yet thorough tutorial is the perfect introduction to the basic concepts of solving partial differential equations (PDEs) using parallel numerical methods. In just eight short chapters, the authors provide readers with enough basic knowledge of PDEs, discretization methods, solution techniques, parallel computers, parallel programming, and the run-time behavior of parallel algorithms to allow them to understand, develop, and implement parallel PDE solvers. Examples throughout the book are intentionally kept simple so that the parallelization strategies are not dominated by technical details.

London Olympics Preview: The 100m Dash
The Blue Riband event is the centerpiece of the Olympics. The athlete who wins the gold is dubbed as the world's fastest man or woman.
Women's 100m Dash
Until the Jamaican Olympic trials last June, Carmelita Jeter has been comfortably perched as the 2012 world leader. Jeter ran 10.81s at the same blue track in Kingston where the Jamaican trials were held.
A month later, the defending Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce demolished the American's erstwhile 2012 standard. Fraser-Pryce ran a personal best, as she stopped the clock at 10.70s. Veronica Campbell-Brown came second at 10.82s.

Trinidadian Kelly-Ann Baptiste (10.86s) and Allyson Felix (10.92s) trails Campbell-Brown. Kerron Stewart (10.94s), Tianna Madison (10.96s), Murielle Ahoure (11.00s), and Blessing Okagbare (11.01s) occupy prominent positions in the top list.
The European challenge will be top billed by the comebacking Ivet Lalova Ивет Лалова (11.06s SB) and the mercurial Olesya Povh Олеся Повх (11.08s), who finished 1-2 at the European Championships in Helsinki.

With the London Games barely two weeks away, the Jamaicans and the Americans are sure to figure in tough battle for gold.
The 25-year old Fraser-Pryce, fresh from setting lifetime bests in the 100m and the 200m, is at her prime. Jeter is six years older than the Jamaican Olympic Champion, but is coming into the Games as the reigning World Champion. the powerful American has a personal best of 10.64s from 2009. the second fastest behind Florence Griffith-Joyner's 10.49s world record.
Stewart (10.75s, 2009), Campbell-Brown (10.76s, 2011), and Lalova (10.77s, 2004) are all sub-10.80s sprinters at their respective bests. Felix (10.92s, 2012) could figure in the fight for the podium as well, as long as she does not get left behind at the blocks.
My pick for gold is the defending champion, Fraser-Pryce. She has the momentum and she seems to be peaking just in time for London.
Gold: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
Silver: Carmelita Jeter
Bronze: Allyson Felix
Men's 100m Dash
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Yohan Blake and Tyson Gay are the only ones capable of beating an in-form Usain Bolt. Former World record holder Asafa Powell has the necessary speed and breakneck start, but he just does not possess the mental toughness to live up to his potential in major championships.
Bolt (L), Gay (C), and Blake (R). Photos from Erik van Leeuwen [Bolt and Blake] and Eckhard Pecher [Gay])
True enough, Blake has inflicted back-to-back defeats in the 100m and 200m to his training partner, both at the Jamaican Olympic Trials. Gay triumphed over Bolt at the DN Galan in Stockholm back in 2010.
The fight for gold will be three-pronged between Bolt, Blake, and Gay, should the latter be able to find the spring in his legs again. Justin Gatlin is the dark horse. Coming from his two-year doping ban, he has a lot to prove and is intent on making his comeback complete by winning Olympic gold.
Gatlin wins the 2012 World Indoor 60m Dash title. (Photo from Erik van Leeuwen)
Blake (9.75s) and Bolt (9.76s) are the two fastest this year. The 2004 Athens Olympic Champion, Justin Gatlin, is in top form as he set a personal best of 9.80s en route to topping the tough U.S. Olympic Trials. Powell (9.85s), Keston Bledman (9.86s), and Gay (9.86s) round up the next three.
Watch out for the tall and powerful Ryan Bailey. Bailey finished third at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, setting a personal best of 9.93s.
Collins (L) and Lemaitre (R). Photos from André Zehetbauer and Erik van Leeuwen)
I'd love to see Kim Collins (10.05s SB) replicate his podium finish in Daegu, but the 2003 World Champion has not gone below the 10-second barrier this season. The French duo of Christophe Lemaitre (10.04s SB) and Jimmy Vicaut (10.07s SB) could once again barge into the final. Britain's new sprinting talent, Adam Gemili (10.05s PB/SB), looks poised to make a mark as well.
I'm rooting for an injury-free Gay to finally wrest the Olympic 100m dash title. As the second fastest of all-time over the distance (9.69s), he has what it takes to come out on top. The youthfully exuberant Blake has the psychological edge, in the wake of his emphatic wins over Bolt.
If the world's greatest sprinter gets his act together in London, the rest of the field – Gay and Blake included – will be competing only for the lesser medals.

Gutted: Thoughts on the Daegu 2011 Men's 4x100m Relay
Leave a comment Posted by hurdler49 on September 5, 2011
The Men's 4x100m relay was bizarre, to say the least. At the last baton exchange, Darvis Patton (USA) clipped the elbow of the massive Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (GBR). The Doc lost his balance and fell to the track, rolling over to the adjacent lane of the Trinidad and Tobago quartet. Richard Thompson (TRI) narrowly missed running over Patton. Aikines-Aryeetey apparently went out too early. Marlon Devonish (GBR) failed to catch his compatriot, throwing the baton in frustration. The Americans also failed to finish, negating a splendid world-leading performance in the semis. The unfortunate Trinidadians were the unassuming collateral damage of the sprint relay carnage, as their quartet finished dead last.
The Usain Bolt-anchored Jamaican team was unstoppable, en route to breaking their 2008 world record. A pumped-up Bolt stopped the clock in a blistering 37.04s. The French and the quartet from Saint Kitts and Nevis emerged victorious with the minor medals. The prolific Christophe Lemaitre added a relay silver to his 200m dash bronze, whilst the evergreen Kim Collins hauled another bronze medal to his collection.
The Americans, even with a healthy Tyson Gay in the fold (and a smooth baton exchange), would have been hard-pressed to win over the Jamaicans. Nevertheless, the loss of any major championship medal was heartbreaking. Prior to these championships, I never really found the time to sympathize with these oft-brash American sprinters. But reading the Doc's posts and tweets, I felt gutted – not just for the US team, but for the Trinidadians and British as well.
One can pillory these professional athletes for certain lapses of judgment. Before hitting the "enter" button in Twitter, Facebook or your blog, find the time to go over the words of the athletes themselves. They're only human, after all.

The 4x100m relay: Where Underdogs Thrive
1 Comment Posted by hurdler49 on August 6, 2010
Track & field is an individual sport. There is some measure of teamwork in the distance events, where packs of runners can stay together throughout the entire race (like Flying Finns of the olden days) or follow a designated pace maker for particular stretches. But in the end, an athlete's result for a particular event is credited only to the effort of one. The team aspect of the relays sets it aside from the other disciplines. Passing the baton from one sprinter to the other makes for an exciting spectacle. The speed involved makes little room for error, where the slightest mistake in timing and release could spell the difference between triumph and defeat.
Perhaps that is why the relays are traditionally held at the latter parts of an athletics competition. It is a fitting finale to the showcase of speed, strength and endurance that is track & field.
It is in the explosive 4x100m relay where an underrated quartet can overcome a faster set of opponents through slick passing. Unlike its longer counterpart, the 4x400m relay, the underdog squad can overcome glaring differences in aggregate speed at the shorter race. Whereas in the longer relay, the most dominant force in the quarter-mile, the Americans, almost always reign supreme.
2008 Beijing Olympics
My favorite relay race of all is the 2008 Beijing Olympics 4x100m relay, where the indefatigable Nobuharo Asahara anchored the Japanese team to an unprecedented bronze (38.15s).
Shingo Suetsugo (10.03 – 2002)
Naoki Tsukahara (10.16 -2008, 10.09 – 2009)
Shinji Takahira (10.29 – 2008, 10.20 – 2009)
Japan has always been a consistent qualifier to the 400m relay finals (4th – 2004, 6th – 2000, 6th – 1992, 5th – 1932); it was about time the Japanese won something big on the Olympic athletics stage. This proves that Asians, with the proper combination of fortunate circumstances and great teamwork, can distinguish themselves in the elite sprinting ranks.
And yeah, need I say more about the Usain Bolt-led Jamaican relay world record?
2002 Busan Asian Games
Thailand's 2002 Busan Asian Games 4x100m victory is another favorite. The smooth-passing of the Thais (38.82s) overcame the advantage of the Japanese team (38.90s) in terms of aggregate speed. It's important to note that Thailand's fastest sprinter at that time was Reeanchai "Ultraman" Seeharwong at 10.23s. The other members weren't as impressive:
Vissanu Sophanich (10.38 – 2000)
Sittichai Suwonprateep (10.68 – 2007)
The Japanese, in contrast, had near 10-flat sprinters in Asahara (10.02) and Shingo Suetsugo (10.05s in 2002, 10.03s lifetime best). The other two members have faster personal bests than the Thais:
Tsuchie Hiroyasu (10.34 – 2002, 10.21 – 2004)
Miyazaki Hisashi (10.28 – 2002)
On paper, the Japanese squad was the favorite. However, an underrated Thai team overcame the stark differences in aggregate speed with their flawless baton exchanges.
2004 Athens Olympics
The formidable American quartet of Shawn Crawford (9.88 – 2004), Justin Gatlin (9.85s – 2004), Coby Miller (9.98s – 2002) and Maurice Greene (9.79s – 1999) lost to the British by a hair's breadth, thanks to the former's faulty baton passing – a fixture in American relay races. On paper, the Brits were a lot slower than the Americans.
Jason Gardener (9.98s – 1999)
Darren Campbell (10.04 – 1998)
Marlon Devonish (10.32 – 2004)
Mark Lewis-Francis (10.02 – 2002)
With a generous splattering of Olympic gold medalists and former/current/future century dash record holders in the American lineup, the gold medal was theirs to lose. And they lost it by the infinitesimal of margins, with Lewis-Francis edging out the fast-finishing Greene, 38.07s to 38.08s.
Among the aforesaid underdog feats, the most impressive (Asian bias aside!) in terms of performance, glamor and glitter would have to be the Great Britain's 2004 upset win. Whereas the 2008 Japanese relay quartet won bronze with both the American and British teams disqualified prior to the final, the 2004 British quartet overcame a loaded U.S. squad composed of 3 Olympic gold medalists and marquee names in sprinting.
A decent enough aggregate speed and slick baton passing is imperative for a world-beating relay team. Although the traditional sprinting powerhouse, the United States, is well-endowed with prolific sprinters, baton passing has been an eternal thorn since American sprinters are a diverse group of athletes, spread among a vast country. As Shawn Crawford said during an interview, practicing baton exchanges becomes a difficult in light of the varying schedules and locales.
A much smaller country like Britain, Japan and Thailand could muster more frequent training sessions. From what I've heard, the Thailand team practically lived together as a team. The Japanese team, similarly, are a tightly bonded lot, as exhibited by the emotional farewell they gave to their long-time ace sprinter, Asahara.
The current Philippine national record stands at 40.55s, set during the 2005 Manila Southeast Asian Games where Philippine 100m/200m dash record holder Ralph Soguilon (10.45s), Albert Salcedo, Long Jump record holder Henry Dagmil and decathlete Arnold Villarube won silver. If the Philippines can assemble a formidable array of mid- to low-10 second sprinters and perfect the baton exchange, surely, a sub-40 clocking is a possibility.

On Justin Gatlin's comeback
The track & field wires were buzzing with news of Justin Gatlin's first 100m race after a four-year doping suspension. Prevented by a European-wide edict discouraging meet organizers from inviting drug offenders to high-level meets, Gatlin competed at a low-key Estonian meet.
The Athens 2004 double gold medalist ran a 10.24s to top a modest field with an equally modest time.
As a track athlete myself, I abhor the use of performance-enhancing substances. It cheapens the sport and taints the achievements of the clean athletes with doubt and suspicion. Olympic-style drug testing is a stringent regimen, based on what I've read from athlete blogs and news features, doing much to clean the image of track & field. But then again, drug cheats will always find a way to get an illegal edge, to find other substances below the mainstream radar.
Frankly speaking, I am against the policy of excluding doping offenders from big money meets like the Diamond League, especially those who had served lengthy suspensions. Such is the case for Dwain Chambers and now, Gatlin.
In my opinion, the meet organizers should be more forgiving and realize how difficult it is for a professional athlete to endure suspensions and ostracism. Everyone deserves a second a chance, including our fallen champions.
Chambers, for instance, plays well into his new-found role of the elder statesman of European sprinting. He was magnanimous in defeat. I don't like Chambers, but I must admit that he acted like a true sportsman when he congratulated Christophe Lemaitre after the 100m final.
I am not an apologist for drug cheating. Punish them to the fullest extent of the law. Let Gatlin and Chambers compete in the big meets! If they fail drug tests in the future, ban them for life. But please, give them a chance to prove themselves yet again, to redeem their tarnished reputations.
Christophe Lemaitre, Dwain Chambers, Justin Gatlin

IS this a bear market? For the stars of the last bull market, the answer is certainly yes. But for other stocks, all is not lost. Many stocks did quite well this year.
Take the Standard & Poor's 500. In 1999 it rose 19.5 percent. As of Wednesday, it was down 9.6 percent for 2000.
But if you look at the individual stocks in the index, a different picture emerges. In 1999, only 241 of the 500 companies in the index gained, while 256 fell. But this year, 276 stocks in the index are up, while only 218 are down.
So why do the percentage gains and losses tell such a different story? It is because the big winners in 1999 and early 2000 were technology stocks, and their performance pulled up the average even while many other shares were lagging. Like most stock indexes, the S.& P. is capitalization weighted, so the movement of the companies that investors value the highest -- now including many technology companies -- has the largest impact on the index.
If you instead calculated the index with every stock given the same weight, the S.& P. rose just 11.9 percent in 1999 and was up 10.1 percent through Wednesday, reports Gina Moore of Aronson Partners, a Philadelphia money management firm. If those were the numbers that people focused on, the year would look just fine.
Those numbers overstate how well the overall market has done, however. With credit markets tight, it helps to be generating enough cash to not have to borrow, or at least to have a good credit rating. Outside the S.& P. 500, even companies involved in currently favored industries are more likely to be facing a financial squeeze, and most stocks are down this year.
Howard Silverblatt of Standard & Poor's Quantitative Services reports that within four sectors of the S.& P. 500 -- health care, financial, energy and utilities -- 86 percent of the stocks are up this year, while only 39 percent rose in 1999. In technology and telecommunications the figures are almost the reverse: just 31 percent are up this year while 86 percent gained in 1999. Cyclical companies -- ones that would probably suffer in a recession -- also did badly late this year amid indications of a slowing economy.
From 1995 through 1997, the bull market was good for almost every company. Then, starting in 1998 it became more selective and by late 1999 and early 2000 it was focused on a fairly narrow group of stocks -- many of them highly speculative. The big market news of 2000 was the bursting of the bubble for many of them.
The collapse of Nasdaq appears to have damaged consumer confidence and contributed to the poor holiday sales this year. But most investors have stuck to the stock market, even as they abandoned Internet retailers and saw Microsoft lose 62 percent of its value. The Dow Jones utility average is up 46 percent in 2000, its best showing since 1943, as utilities profit from increased demand for power after years when few new generating plants were built.
While there are far fewer hot technology stocks, some like Brocade Communications, a maker of equipment used by Internet companies, have continued to prosper in the stock market more on hopes for the future than on current operations. A Bloomberg News survey showed Brocade insiders sold $1.1 billion of stock as the share price soared 116 percent, leaving the company valued at $23.7 billion. Brocade's revenue for the fiscal year just ended leaped 379 percent, to $329 million. It earned $68 million.
If a real bear market means investors have lost all faith in stocks, then this market does not qualify.

Four years on from the release of her last, critically acclaimed LP, Julianna Barwick returns with "Healing Is A Miracle", to be released on July 10th on new home, Ninja Tune.
A distinctive meditation on sound, reverb and the voice, "Healing Is A Miracle" is a record built on improvisation and a close affinity to a couple of trusted items of gear, from which she spins engrossing, expansive universes. Additionally, Barwick draws on the input of three collaborators with whom she has nurtured deep friendships with over the years: Jónsi (Sigur Rós), Nosaj Thing and Mary Lattimore; who each gently nudge out at the edges of her organically-evolved sound.
Recorded in the wake of a seismic shift in her life following a move from New York—where she had lived for 16 years—to Los Angeles where she is now based, the title of the record came to her after thinking about how the human body heals itself, of the miraculous processes we pay little attention to: "You cut your hand, it looks pretty bad, and two weeks later it looks like it never happened… That's kind of amazing, you know?" It's a sentiment that feels particularly apt for the moment. From there, she conceived of the record's simple statement title, ran it past a couple of friends, and it was settled. Like with the record itself, and all of her work, it's about following her gut, and seeing where it takes her.
LP in a 12" sleeve with 3mm spine. Printed on reverse board - full colour. 12" 140g black vinyl in full colour printed inners. Limited Edition First Run includes a 12x12 signed Artboard Print.

Stine Riis: the first winner of H&M's Design Award 2012
The winner of the H&M Design Award 2012 was announced today as Stine Riis, a 28 year old graduate from the London College of Fashion. She was revealed as the global winner at a special catwalk show at Stockholm's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, where Stine presented her winning collection. Stine wins €50,000, and the chance to have around fifteen pieces from her collection sold in selected H&M stores in United Kingdom, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and The Netherlands in September. Stine was chosen by a grand jury which included fashion designer Christopher Kane, noted fashion journalists Hilary Alexander and Kristopher Arden Houser, fashion blogger Susie Lau, H&M's creative advisor Margareta van den Bosch and H&M's head of design, Ann-Sofie Johansson.
Stine Riis's collection
"I am still overwhelmed. Showing at Stockholm's Mercedes-Benz fashion week has been such a great experience. I can't believe so many people came to see my collection! This award gives me the confidence and financial back-up I need to pursue my dream of building my own brand. I couldn't have imagined a better start to my career as a designer," says Stine Riis, winner of the H&M Design Award 2012.
"Stine Riis impressed us all with the maturity and modernity of her work. Her collection was so complete, and so well finished. It was such a sophisticated show, and such an exciting occasion. I am proud that Stine is the first winner of the H&M Design Award," says Ann-Sofie Johansson, H&M Head of Design.
Stine Riis is a designer from Copenhagen who studied for her BA at the London College of Fashion in the United Kingdom. She called her final collection "Decadence & Decay", and describes her style as "tailored future elegance". Stine puts great importance into the creative process and wants the construction of the garments to be part of the design, while also making clothing that is both wearable and covetable.
Meanwhile, the winner of the H&M Design Award People's Prize was announced today as Anne Bosman. The prize has been decided by visitors to the H&M Design Award website, who have been voting since January 27 for their favourite collection. Anne Bosman receives a month's internship at Christopher Kane's design studio in London, giving him the chance to gain invaluable experience with one of fashion's hottest designers.
Set up to encourage and support the brightest young fashion talent, the H&M Design Award has seen graduates from fourteen colleges in six different countries compete first to be the local winner, and then go on to the grand prize jury. Today's fashion show was the culmination of the award process, with Stine winning the opportunity to show her work at Stockholm's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The show was also streamed live at designaward2012.hm.com where the award process has been posted to inspire future generations interested in a career in fashion.

Die Schleswigsche Eisenbahn wurde am 20. März 1865 zur Verwaltung der Eisenbahnen im Herzogtum Schleswig als Aktiengesellschaft in Flensburg gegründet, nachdem Preußen in der Folge des Deutsch–Dänischen Krieges nach der Gasteiner Konvention die Besetzung und Verwaltung von Schleswig zugesprochen wurde.

Geschichte
Das Bankhaus Erlanger & Sohn in Frankfurt am Main vermittelte dieser Neugründung den Aufkauf der im englischen Eigentum des Konsortiums Peto, Brassey and Betts befindlichen Eisenbahnstrecken in Süd- und Nordschleswig, beschaffte preußische Konzessionen für ihren weiteren Betrieb und vermittelte einen preußischen Auftrag zum Umbau des Netzes. Der Umbau stellte das Netz vom dominierenden Ost-West-Verkehr auf Süd-Nord-Verkehr um, verkürzte die Strecke Flensburg–Rendsburg, legte nicht mehr benötigte Streckenteile still und beinhaltete den notwendigen Gleisabbau.

In ihr ging die Südschleswigsche Eisenbahn auf, die richtig König Frederik VII. Südschleswigsche Eisenbahn hieß. Im Volksmund wurde sie als Schleswigsche, manchmal auch  Südschleswigsche oder Englische Eisenbahn bezeichnet.
Sie war von Samuel Morton Peto 1852 als Flensburg-Husum-Tönninger Eisenbahngesellschaft (FHTE) gegründet worden, um die von ihm erbauten Bahnstrecken zu verwalten: Zur Streckeneinweihung am 25. Oktober 1854 erhielt sie zu Ehren des Königs ihren Namen.

Die am 25. Oktober 1854 eröffnete Stammstrecke führte von Tönning über Husum und Oster-Ohrstedt nach Flensburg und bediente den von Dänemark gewünschten Ost-West-Verkehr. Von Oster-Ohrstedt zweigte über Klosterkrug bei und mit Anschluss nach Schleswig eine Strecke nach Rendsburg zu einem Bahnhof nördlich der Eider ab. Morton Peto kaufte diese auf. Von Rendsburg bestand bereits eine Verbindung über Nortorf nach Neumünster an der Bahnstrecke Hamburg-Altona–Kiel. Mit ihr kam dem Verkehr in Nord-Süd-Richtung eine untergeordnete Rolle zu.

Hintergrund für den Bau der Strecke war, im damals dänischen Südschleswig eine Querverbindung zwischen dem Hafen Tönning an der Nordsee und der Ostsee mit einem Schiffsanschluss nach Kopenhagen zu schaffen, um Viehexporte auf einem schnellen Weg durchführen zu können.

Betrieben wurde die Strecke von englischen Unternehmern. Als jedoch 1857 die Zollschranken für die Handelsschifffahrt auf der Ostsee entfielen, ging die Bedeutung der Bahnstrecke zurück. Als 1886 die Maul- und Klauenseuche zum Verbot der Viehimporte nach England führte, endeten die zum Bau der Strecke ausschlaggebenden Viehtransporte.

Weiterhin wurden in die Schleswigsche Eisenbahn die Strecken Fredericia–Flensburg und Rødekro–Åbenrå der Nordschleswigschen Eisenbahn übernommen.

Mit Vertrag vom 4. August 1865 übernahm die Altona-Kieler Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft die Schleswigsche Eisenbahn zum 1. Januar 1870, dem Tag, an dem die Firma Peto den Abschluss ihrer Netzumbauarbeiten meldete.

Betriebsmittel
Die Gesellschaft übernahm 1866 von den aufgekauften Bahnen:
 18 Lokomotiven, davon waren zwei dauerhaft bei der Schleswig-Klosterkruger Eisenbahn eingesetzt
 33 als Abteilwagen realisierte Personenwagen
 zwei Post- und zehn Gepäckwagen
 89 gedeckte und 176 offene Güterwagen

Alle Wagen waren zweiachsig.

Lokomotiven
Unter Einsatz bedeutet:
 SSE: Einsatz auf den Stammstrecken von Flensburg nach Tönning und Rendsburg;
 NSE: kennzeichnet die in Nordschleswig eingesetzten Maschinen;
 SE: weist auf der Schleswig-Klosterkruger Bahn eingesetzte Maschinen aus.

Die Loks 12 und 13 wurden im Deutsch-/Dänischen Krieg auf die Strecken in Nordschleswig versetzt, um dort fürs Militär eingesetzt zu werden.

Werkstätten
Die Unterhaltung und Wartung aller Fahrzeuge übernahm die Betriebswerkstätte am englischen Bahnhof in Flensburg; Dazu war 1855 ein zweiständiger Lokschuppen und eine Wagenremise mit kleiner Schmiede, Dreherei, Malerwerkstatt und Magazin entstanden. Dort stand auch ein Wasserturm, der aus Quellen und einem Speicherbassin am Berghang über dem Stadtteil Jürgensby gespeichert wurde. Bis 1883 wurde der Lokschuppen auf fünf Stände erweitert. Die über Riemenscheiben betriebenen Werkzeugmaschinen wurden ab 1860 von einer zu diesem Zweck hier stationierten Lokomotive angetrieben. 1860 konnte diese Werkstätte ihre Leistungsfähigkeit beweisen, indem hier zum Ersatz aller 1854 an den Strecken der Bahn errichteten hölzernen Brücken genietete Blechträgerkonstruktionen erstellt wurden.

1872 wurden die Arbeiten an den Lokomotiven in die neu errichtete Werkstätte an der Nordschleswigschen Weiche (heute Flensburg-Weiche) verlagert.

Diese Werkstätte wurde erst 1927 von der Neuen Werkstätte am neu erbauten Bahnhof Flensburg abgelöst.

Home News Local Philly supervised injection site is one step closer following federal ruling
Philly supervised injection site is one step closer following federal ruling

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Gerald McHugh ruled that Safehouse, a nonprofit that plans to open an overdose prevention site (OPS) in Philadelphia, is not in violation of federal drug law, reaffirming his October 2019 decision.
In February 2019, U.S. Attorney William Mcswain filed suit claiming that a safe injection site violated a section of the Controlled Substances Act, called the "crack house statute." The statute deems it illegal for a person to knowingly open or manage a location in order to fabricate, distribute or use controlled substances.
McHugh declared that nothing about Safehouse's efforts would pose a procedural breach, as its ultimate goal is to reduce illegal drug use, and Safehouse wouldn't be concealing drugs. The Tuesday ruling gave Safehouse the official go-ahead to open a facility in Philadelphia, the first U.S. location where people could use illegal opioids under medical supervision. McSwain immediately vowed to appeal McHugh's decision.
In a news conference on Wednesday, Safehouse officials announced plans to open a safe consumption site in South Philadelphia.
The City of Philadelphia will not operate an OPS, but city officials are willing to provide additional services in support of this ruling, and will also facilitate service requests from residents who live near an OPS, according to a press release on Feb. 25.
"It is important to remember that these sites are — first and foremost — about saving lives," Mayor Kenney said in the release. "Experts estimate an OPS in Philadelphia could save 24-76 lives a year. They provide a venue so that public health professionals can connect individuals to drug treatment and other vital support services."
Roughly 100 supervised consumption sites exist worldwide, largely in Europe and Australia. The first OPS in North America opened in Vancouver, Canada in 2003.
LGBTQ-centered organizations have long been involved in Philadelphia's Safehouse debate, particularly at the intersections of HIV/AIDS advocacy. In December 2019, representatives from ACT UP Philadelphia, AIDS United, Angels in Motion and Friends of Safehouse made their opinions known outside Independence Mall and rallied outside the office of McSwain.
Some participants entered McSwain's office with the intention of giving him a funeral wreath, golden urn and letters from people who experienced addiction conveying the need for an OPS. At that time, McSwain told Safehouse's attorney that he would use all legal enforcement resources in order to shut down an OPS and arrest its users.
"I am overjoyed and relieved that after two years of fighting for a simple method of stopping fentanyl overdose deaths we can finally begin to save lives," said José de Marco, organizer for ACT UP. "We have a mayor and health commissioner that realize every life is precious and worth saving. In addition, [being able to] offer immediate referrals to drug treatment programs, medical and social services … reduces public injection and discarded used syringes on the street."
"In the last three years, I have lost two friends under the age of 30 to a drug overdose," said Julian Domanico, LGBTQ+ advocate and queer man of color, who is a committeeperson representative for the Gayborhood, board secretary of the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund (DVLF) and afterschool programming director for Public Health Management Corporation's Project Leading Youth for Tomorrow.
"The cyclical punitive system of confine, rehab in isolation and discard has not worked. Mayor Kenney, his administration, and Philadelphia's District Attorney's Office are leading the nation in compassionate, progressive ideas on how we care for and talk about the disease of addiction. This Safehouse legislation is a positive step toward helping people kick their habit and, most importantly, save lives."
Christina Kallas-Saritsoglou, co-founder and manager of Philly AIDS Thrift, said, ""I think safe injection sites will have a positive impact in many ways — decreasing overdose-related deaths, reducing the spread of HIV and Hep C, and increasing the likelihood that folks will enter into rehab and recovery, all things our community can benefit from."
Philly Aids Thrift awarded Safehouse one of its 26 grants earlier this year.
Leaders in local government condone McHugh's ruling and the forthcoming implementation of Safehouse's OPS.
"We are gratified with the court's ruling that it is legal to operate an overdose prevention site that helps those who are addicted to opioids get into drug treatment and keeps them alive until they start treatment," Dr. Thomas Farley said in a press release. Farley is commissioner of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. "We intend to support Safehouse as it moves toward opening a site in Philadelphia."
