The New Evil
Understanding the Emergence of Modern Violent Crime
By: Michael H. Stone MD, Gary Brucato PhD
Revisiting Dr. Michael Stone's groundbreaking 22-level Gradations of Evil Scale, a hierarchy of evil behavior first introduced in the book The Anatomy of Evil, Stone and Dr. Gary Brucato, a fellow violence and serious psychopathology expert, here provide even more detail, using dozens of cases to exemplify the categories along the continuum. The New Evil also presents compelling evidence that, since a cultural tipping-point in the 1960s, certain types of violent crime have emerged that in earlier decades never or very rarely occurred.
WARNING!!!.....
On February 29, 2000, John Price took out a restraining order against his girlfriend, Katherine Knight. Later that day, he told his coworkers she had stabbed him and that if he were ever to go missing, it was because Knight had killed him.
The next day, Price didn't show up for work.
A coworker was sent to check on him. They found a bloody handprint by the front door, and they immediately contacted the police. The local police force was not prepared for the chilling scene they were about to encounter.
Price's body was found in a chair, legs crossed, with a bottle of lemonade under his arm. He'd been decapitated and skinned. The "skin-suit" was hanging from a meat hook in the living room, and his head was found in the kitchen, in a pot of vegetables that was still warm. There were two plates on the dining table; each had the name of one of Price's children on it.
She was attempting to serve his body parts to his children.
Man-Eater is a dramatic and gripping account of the first women in Australia to be given a life sentence without parole and a special addendum "never to be released". Ryan Green's riveting narrative draws the listener into the real-life horror experienced by the victim and has all the elements of a classic thriller.

I liked the way Ryan told the story of Katharine and her messed up family
What's really crazy is what she gets away with and the amount of abuse the men in her life take from her only to go back time after time
Interesting with good narration

Man-Eater: Terrifying True Story of Cannibal Killer Katherine Knight was a great true crime story by Ryan Green. This book follows Katherine Knight from her upbringing to the day she committed a chilling murder. John Price took a restraining order out on Knight and later that day he told his co-workers if he ever goes missing its because Knight killed him. The next day would prove to show that Price was right because Knight heinously murdered him. I enjoyed reading this true crime novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Sandy Springs, Georgia, US
I wanted more detail but still liked it a lot
Maybe I am just a weirdo but I feel like the story did not focus enough on the act itself as it is fascinating. The background was helpful to establish the reasons this happened but the crime itself was worth more action. The story was still a good one to read, and I would recommend to other true crime readers.
Deeply disturbing but worth it!
This story follows the life of one of one of Australia's most despicable people. Katherine Knight was a horrific person whose jealousy took her to levels of rage that are seldom seen or heard about. That led her to a final act that is beyond horrifying. This book is a strange ride and not one that I typically go for but the way it was written and narrated draws you in. I will need to check out other things that Ryan Green has written.
Jeff & Sabrena
Captivating
It's true. This reads like a thriller. Green's presentation of this horrifying case is captivating and Steve White's performance complements the telling.
NOTE: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Monster incarnate; fascinating yet troubling
A fascinating story of a monstrous woman. This was a well written and well told story. I've read Ryan Green's stuff before and this is his best work. If you want to delve into the mind of a psycho and rummage around a bit, this is a great place to start. The narrator has a smooth delivery and did a good job presenting the book.
Randy Murphy
OK story, Boring performance
The story itself was fairly well written but the performance was phoned in and I found myself drifting away while listening.
Rayc
Brilliant a good listen/read
Man-Eater: The Terrifying True Story of Cannibal Killer Katherine Knight.
Ryan Green is probably the best true crime writer around.
This is another amazing tale, the author manages as he always does the horror of the crime and the damaged personality of the perpetrator.
Steve White's narration is excellent and keeps your interest. A great team Green & White..
I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my own request, and voluntarily leave this review.
Derek J. Hollis
Cold blooded!
Where to start! Catherine Knight may be the most evil woman serial killer I have ever read about. This lady obviously did not have a conscience. And she did not like it when she wouldn't get her way! This audiobook covers the history of her mother all the way through Catherine's life. Nothing is spared in details, as I've come accustomed to with Ryan Greens books. If you want to hear about a crazy woman in Australia terrorizing even the toughest men then give this book a listen. As always the narration is always clear , crisp and entertaining. I received this free audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
PLACERVILLE, CA, United States
So many sickos-so little time
This story is yet another in a long line of crazies we are surrounded by! The story felt at points that it could have been reduced and was becoming repetitive but that was the nature of this woman, Katherine Knight. Still a good listen!
Ostfeld
The only one that could accomplish this.
If I didn't know better I would have said what a great horror fiction but I do know and it's no fiction.
By the way, do you truly know your
neighbors?
There is only one person who can get you into the mind of a psychopaths and make you so clearly understand what's going on in there and how it was created in the first place.
I believe that the author Ryan Green is an amazing in his capabilities after listening to his audiobooks is showing us that in the right conditions everyone can become a psychopath all you need is the right settings and abuse growing up, just like what the judge in this audiobook said that we all have it ( evil ) inside us but we don't act on it which is all because our upbringing from the day we where born.
It's scary to think how many are out there taking medications till you here about something horrible on the news because one decided not to take his meds.
Man-Eater:
Green truly is an artist and so much more!
Once I started there was no taking breaks I was just hypnotized all the way to the ending.
Excellent choice taking Steve White for narration of this audiobook, he got it perfectly!
This story had to be written and only Green could have done it, put you in the head of others, get it and make it interesting at the same time.
Absolutely recommended!!!
In exchange for an honest review I've received this audiobook.
another great one
I love this author, although i do find it a bit disturbing, how he manages to get into the minds of killers
I also find it very disturbing, the acts that one person can do to another
I was fasinated by this story, although there were a few times when I shuddered at the inhuman acts carried out
If you enjoy true crime you won't be disappointed with this book.
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review
Australian crime story read by boring American
I read the original book that this story was copied from. It's called bloodstain and was written by Australian journalist by the name of Peter Lalor in 2002. It is so much better than this rubbish. This book is read by Steve White who is an American and his horrible droning accent does nothing for this Country Australian story that really should have been read by an Australian female. The amount of words that he mispronounces is embarrassing. He ruined a great tale and I zoned out so often because it felt like I was listening to the American Top 40 by Casey Kasem. Don't waste your credits or money on this trash and go and find the original Australian book called Bloodstain by Peter Lalor. It has crime scene pictures and goes into more depth about the investigation.


Stand Up Paddle Surfing: In the water: C4 Waterman 10'0"
Last week, I had an opportunity to test drive one of the long awaited, C4 Waterman, stand up boards manufactured by Boardworks. Evidently, the boards had been imprisoned in a shipping container in San Pedro and were just unleashed upon the mainland last week- look for them as they spread across the coast and into your local surf shop.
Kelly Kraus of Emerald City (619 435-6677), in Coronado, Ca was willing to let me hop on his brand new 10'0" version of the board (the board line also includes a 10'6" and an 11'6").
Setting the scene: I paddled this board in the ocean on a moderately choppy day, the surf was a small 2 - 3' wind swell. I'd call the conditions "semi-challenging" due to the pop-up nature of the wind swell peaks and the amount of south wind, cross chop. We surfed the board at a local beach break, no channel cheating here.
Paddling: I have to say, I was a bit apprehensive about the how I'd do on such a small stand up board. I'm currently riding a board that is just about 12' by 29.5"- the dimensions on this board put its width at 28" with a thickness of 4". I weigh about 210lbs and I honestly didn't think the board would float me.
I was completely wrong. The board handled me; the deck wasn't awash. In fact, I found the board surprisingly stable for it's size. I could paddle around, back paddle it and even pivot turn it with a foot on the tail. Undoubtably, paddling it did require considerably more thought then my other board but I have to say that my preconceived notions (see the article about the Craig paddleboards) regarding paddle-ability and board size have been put to rest. A guy my size can definitely paddle boards in the sub-11' range.
Surfing: Scott Bass wrote a great article ("Got Paddle? A Preliminary Look at StandUp Paddle Surfboard Design" at www.surfermag.com) about stand up boards that discusses the trade offs in a board's design. There is evidence of this in this board. The board does not possess the glide of the big 12' tankers and I'm reasonably sure it was never meant to compete with them in this area (however, the 11'6" C4 may have been designed for this purpose). What the board does do extremely well is surf. Form definitely follows function with this board- the thing surfs really, really well.
Taking off on this board is a different experience then gliding in on the 12 footer. The board has a snappy acceleration (think a twitch of the wrist on a rice burner) and an easy entry into the wave- there is some meat in the nose of the board allowing you to really lean into the paddle over the front of the board. Kelly Kraus goes from zero to ripping in about three strokes, I've seen him get into waves he had no business catching.
Another clue regarding the board's purpose? Check out the tailpad (the board comes stock with a deck pad and a cut-in tail pad). Like your favorite short board, the board was meant to be surfed off the tail. Get your foot back there and the board goes rail to rail down the line very nicely; it's "pump-able". The board makes speed easily and feels like a much smaller board then it is. I didn't get a chance to disfigure a fat reef break shoulder but I have no doubt that thing would carve a cutback very nicely.
Summary: This board would not be my choice for a long distance (10 mile or more) coastal cruise, it just doesn't have the waterline and weight to match the speed and glide of the big boys. I would use this board for a two or three spot go out; the kind of session where you roll up, see the peak you want to poach, surf it and then hit one or two adjacent spots. The board has an extremely "surfy" feel that will appeal to shortboarding cross-over surfers. At my weight, I could see myself eventually getting used to a board of its size, realizing that I'd have to climb the SUB learning curve again. I'd be interested in trying out the C4's bigger brother the 10'6", given my dimensions and experience I think this larger version would be a better fit . Overall, I can say that riding this board has expanded my paddle surfing world a little bit- and I've begun to realize that I may have to make room in my shed for more then one stand up board. Ouch.
Howdy Randy- cool, can't wait to jump on over to your site and check it out. You're welcome here anytime!
Hey Allan- we'll have to hook up and surf sometime... plus I'd like to get a look at what you've been doing up there.
I picked up the board today! i am ready to go out!
get my number from calikites boys and call me i am in SD until wed and then Mex bound.
John - your site is super cool and informative. Your review here was done before we even got the boards in Hawaii. I swear I read it daily just because I wanted the board so bad. I ended up getting a C4 10'6" and for the last week have been riding a C4 10'. It's a bit more tippy than the 10'6" but after enough hours in the water it seems fine. The 10' surfs way better than anything else I've ridden. I made a short video comparing the 2 at my blog at www.standuppaddlesurf.net. Thanks for all the SUP scoops. Aloha.

Highly functional
materials: leveraging
photography DNA
to add new value
At the start of the 21st century, risk and opportunity lay ahead for Fujifilm: the digital era had arrived in force. Although Fujifilm had already begun to diversify its portfolio of technologies, photographic film had remained the company's bread and butter since its founding. Demand for film peaked in 2000 and rapidly declined thereafter, at a rate of 20 percent per year. To continue growing over the medium and long term, Fujifilm would have to build new businesses. There was absolutely no time to waste.
Fujifilm took a long look at its history, asking itself, "What are our greatest strengths? Where and how can we offer new value to the marketplace?" One of the answers the company came up with was leveraging the technologies it had developed in the photography industry to create unique, value-added highly functional materials.
Photographic film is a precision chemical product that integrates couplers and nearly 100 different chemical compounds in an ultra-thin layer just 20 micrometers thick. Creating photographic film for high-sensitivity image capture and printing requires technologies that manipulate matter on a microscopic scale. For example, Fujifilm had developed technologies for producing highly uniform, ultra-thin membranes on film substrates. In fact, Fujifilm found that it had a wealth of technologies that could be used in an extremely wide variety of applications.
Such technologies are what Fujifilm now Fujifilm now calls its core technologies. Today, the company works hard to leverage its core technology portfolio to maximum effect, innovating new products at an accelerated pace. One important area of development is highly functional materials, with a focus on highly functional films.
Open Innovation: combining technologies in creative new ways
In the effort to accelerate the development of new products, Fujifilm wanted to go beyond building on the technologies it had developed for the photography industry. The company decided that the best way forward was to combine the widest array of technologies possible, inviting partners outside the Fujifilm Group to share their technologies and perspectives in new initiatives. Fujifilm called its new method of collaborative development "Open Innovation."
In January 2014, Fujifilm opened its first Open Innovation Hub in its Tokyo headquarters. A nerve center for Fujifilm's collaborative innovation, this hub introduces the core technologies that Fujifilm developed for photography and other industries and allows visitors to directly experience products that apply them. Moreover, the hub provides a venue for the sharing and combining of ideas, which in turn can lead to the joint development of innovative new products. Since it opened its doors, the Open Innovation Hub has welcomed many interested parties from a wide variety of industries, including those with which Fujifilm had not traditionally had strong ties.
The Open Innovation Hub has been particularly successful in the area of highly functional materials, with many new products expected to reach the market in the near future. In addition, Fujifilm has established Open Innovation Hubs in the US and Europe to leverage local insights and strengths and generate outstanding collaboration and innovative products.
Contributing to a wide range of industries and people's lives with high functionality
Fujifilm continues to turn its portfolio of core technologies into highly functional materials. One such material is the backsheets the company produces for use in solar cells. Since solar cells are used outdoors in a variety of challenging conditions, these backsheets need to be extremely durable and reliable. The base material of a backsheet is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), to which Fujifilm applies special polymerization, film formation, and coating technologies. The result is a film that has a useful life of up to 30 years rather than the standard 20 years. A highly functional material offering outstanding performance, this film contributes to the stable operation of solar panels, helping to enhance product lifecycles, reduce energy losses, and mitigate environmental issues.
For use in smart phones, tablets, and other devices using touch panels, Fujifilm has developed EXCLEAR touch panel sensor film. This film uses a base of PET polymer film covered with a fine mesh pattern made of silver lines on both sides, resulting in extremely low resistance along with superior transparency and flexibility. Compared to conventional sensor films made with indium tin oxide (ITO), EXCLEAR offers a faster response speed, even in medium- and large-size screens. The touch panel market is currently expected to grow at 10 percent per year, and EXCLEAR is striving to make a strong contribution to this growth.
Leveraging its core technologies for the photography industry to maximum effect, Fujifilm is collaborating with a wide range of companies outside the Group to grow its highly functional materials business. These materials are contributing to the advancement of a wide range of industries while helping to make people's lives more comfortable and fulfilling than ever before. With the goal of developing these advanced products at an ever faster pace, Fujifilm will continue to innovate!
Highly Functional Materials
Fujifilm's highly functional materials make today's flat panel displays look beautiful. Visit site.
Determined to take on new challenges and deliver new value globally, Fujifilm is very open to collaboration. Read full story.

18:46:26:307 FATAL_ERROR System.DmlException: Insert failed.
  First exception on row 0; first error: UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION,
  portal account owner must have a role: []

And when I try to fix above issue by providing a UserRoleId for the user which I want to create then getting issue as follows:

FATAL_ERROR System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0;
  first error: FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION, High Volume Portal Users cannot have a user role: Role ID: [UserRoleId]

In above cases the profile's userType is 'CspLitePortal'
And further, when I change the profile's userType to 'Standard' and try to create an User, the error I got is as follows:

18:41:40:576 FATAL_ERROR System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION, only portal users can be associated to a contact: []

For my use case, I need to have contact Object associated with the User. Since Contact can have an attachement. My use case facilitates a photo upload for every user created. At the time of upload, I am storing the image base64 data as an attachment to that User's Contact record (which acts as Parent-Id for the attachment). We can't have an Attachment with User's record Id as parent-Id.
Any workaround.

A: You need to be creating the User using a User who has a Salesforce User license, not a Community or Portal User license. That Salesforce User should have a Role and would be the Account owner for the Contact you're creating for use in your Portal. Steps would be as follows:
If this is a TestClass, use RunAs. If it is production, a Portal User cannot create Users unless you have your code run in System Mode with an API User with a Role.

*

*Create Account

*Insert Account

*Create Contact with AccountID from above

*Insert Contact

*Create User with ContactId from above

*Insert User

A: The error clearly describes your issue.
The role you are trying to assign should be for the Account owner, not the User.
When you create a contact, you have an account linked to the contact. Your Account linked to the contact will have an owner. The owner of the Account should have a role associated as per the error message.
Account --> Owner--> Role Assigned

There have been complaints. Loud complaints.
I'm talking about complaints about Google's search results being full of spammy links that lead to nothing of value. The complaint department window at Google was open for business, because they were listening and they've made some changes.
Most of the complaints mentioned that Google search results were filled with spam results from content scrapers, marketers, or sites that consisted of nothing but keywords surrounded by useless crappy content.
Early indications suggest that concerns over Demand — which owns sites like eHow and Trails.com — being at the whims of Google's search algorithms are not worrying investors. The company increased the size of its offering by nearly 20% and also raised the offering price, with investors pushing shares another 40% higher when they debuted.
Last week, Google wrote about its plans to take on search engine spam and so-called "content farms," a category that Demand is often lumped in with because of the way it produces its content, with thousands of low-cost freelancers authoring stories that target popular search terms.
I have a few personal things to say about Demand Media, which I will get to in a minute.
It follows a series of posts on search skills for writers I've done recently, including one on alternatives to Google, an update on Help A Reporter Out (HARO), the website that matches reporters' requests for sources with companies that could provide the information that Vocus acquried last June, and how to get the most out of a HARO query.
Sounds like a great chat, I'm sorry I missed it.
Alternatives to Google have been popping up regularly. One is a new search engine, Blekko, which specifically claims to remove spammy results from your search. See Blekko De-Spams Search Results with Slashtags. Just yesterday, Blekko announced it will block some sites completely. See Blekko Bans Content Farms Like Demand Media's eHow from its Search Results.
Someone made an extension for Chrome (Google's browser) that blocks spam results. See Search Engine Blacklist Prevents Spam Sites from Ever Appearing in Your Search Listings.
As I mentioned, Google was taking note of all this. Their response appeared on the official Google blog in Google search and search engine spam. Here's part of that announcement.
To respond to that challenge, we recently launched a redesigned document-level classifier that makes it harder for spammy on-page content to rank highly. The new classifier is better at detecting spam on individual web pages, e.g., repeated spammy words—the sort of phrases you tend to see in junky, automated, self-promoting blog comments. We've also radically improved our ability to detect hacked sites, which were a major source of spam in 2010. And we're evaluating multiple changes that should help drive spam levels even lower, including one change that primarily affects sites that copy others' content and sites with low levels of original content. We'll continue to explore ways to reduce spam, including new ways for users to give more explicit feedback about spammy and low-quality sites.
The Google announcement also reaffirmed Google's principles that buying Google ads does not increase site rankings and having Google ads does not prevent a site from violating Google's content guidelines.
For a while, I worked for eHow.com as their expert in the Internet category. I'm telling you this story because eHow is owned by Demand Media. I wrote several hundred articles for eHow that I stand behind as being of comparable quality to anything I've ever written for my own blogs.
While I was well paid for each post I wrote at eHow, there were also writers there who were not paid per post but through a system of rewards based on traffic. Eventually, eHow dropped its experts who were paid by the article. I stopped writing for them at that time. Now, writers only receive rewards based on the traffic their articles generate. eHow also wanted people who were writing there to move to writing keyword laden posts for Demand Media. I chose not to do that.
Personally, I am happy about my relationship with eHow and I'm proud of my posts. I've read enough articles there to know that the quality is uneven – some are excellent and some are not. But I think Blekko's announcement that they are going to block eHow completely is an overreaction. There is some good material on eHow, especially from the various experts who wrote there. A better choice would be to filter eHow results for quality.
I've never looked at any of the content produced on the Demand Media side of the business, but I know they generate vast amounts of it. And its making them money, as you saw from the story on their IPO.
The changes in Google's algorithm will affect the profitability of content farm sites like Demand Media's, because it will bring higher quality results back into the top ranked search results.
The changes will also be helpful to many bloggers who are frustrated by sites that reproduce entire blog posts without permission. If the changes are effective, an original post should rank higher than any scraped content reprinted elsewhere.

Thanks for the shout out Virginia. I started using Blekko a couple weeks ago and have been very satisfied with the search results I'm getting.
Michelle, Have you found HARO to be useful? There are times when it might be something I'd like to use.
It really depends on the subject. In a recent interview, HARO's founder Peter Shankman told me that about three quarters of HARO's 150,000 sources are small businesses. S if you're looking for sources for a small business or consumer story, HARO would probably be a good place to start. I've had less luck finding really specific sources, or sources for some of the b2b subjects I write about for trade. magazines.
Here are links to two posts I did on HARO recently, the first has the interview with Shankman, the other is his suggestions for getting the most from HARO searches.


s a student journalist, your mission is to inform your peers. Your fellow students look to your work to help them understand the nuances of the environments they inhabit, and to accurately represent their experiences and views. Here are a few guidelines that should help you report and write for the national audience you will have if your submission is selected for publication on The New York Times Learning Network.
1. Know the rules of attribution. You must identify yourself as a reporter before beginning any conversation with a source. If you don't, his or her comments will not be considered "on the record" -- and therefore they will not be useable in your article. A source cannot retroactively take his or her comments "off the record" -- so if a source says at the end of an interview, "but that was all off the record," that person is out of luck.
2. Ask open questions, be a good listener, and probe for anecdotes. Get a source talking by asking questions that begin with "how" or "why." Once a source starts talking, try to keep him or her going by asking follow-up questions like, "What do you mean by that?" or "Can you give me an example?"
3. Prepare for your interviews. Come to any interview armed with a basic list of questions you hope to ask. If the conversation goes well you can (and should) toss your questions and go with the flow, but if you have a terse source your questions should be a big help in keeping the conversation going. When interviewing leaders and experts, you should always have a basic understanding of the work they have done which has prompted you to look to those people as sources.
4. Interview with breadth and depth. Interview as wide a range of people as possible, and probe them for thoughtful answers. You don't need to use quotes from every person you interview -- but having a diverse collection of interviews in your notebook will give you the best possible selection of quotes. Plus, good interviews should help you expand your understanding of your topic.
5. Write for a national audience. Obviously, your story will be grounded by your familiarity with your own school. But you should seek a variety of perspectives and several expert opinions. Try to interview students from at least three different schools, and look for recent research studies that may help illuminate some of the points your article makes. Interview the authors of the studies if you can.
6. Keep an open mind. Don't assume that you understand all the nuances of your topic. Expect that your understanding will evolve as you report. If it doesn't, you may not have reported thoroughly or aggressively enough.
7. Decide on an approach. Outlining your story is the best way to start. This means reviewing your notes, marking the most interesting or articulate quotes, making a list of important points, and creating a structure into which you can fit your information. Spend extra time of the beginning of your story. Readers will decide whether to proceed based on the capacity of your lede to grab their interest.
8. Focus on what's most compelling. Before you start writing, think through all the information you have and all the points you plan to make. What's surprising? What's important? What's useful?
9. Show, don't tell. It is tempting to describe a room as messy or a person as nice. But carefully-observed details and well-chosen verbs make a much stronger impression than adjectives.
10. Put your story in context. You must help answer a reader's biggest question about any story: Why should I care?
11. Don't overuse direct quotes. Sometimes you can best capture a mood with your own prose. Think of direct quotes as icing on a cake -- they enhance, but they shouldn't form the substance of your story. The quotes you do use must be attributed, always. The reader should not have to guess who is talking.
12. Fill holes. Are there questions raised by your story that you have not answered? Ask a friend, teacher, editor or fellow reporter to read through your story and tell you what else he or she would want to know.
13. Triple-check for accuracy. Spell names right. Get grade levels and titles right. Get facts right. If you are unsure of something and cannot verify it, leave it out. Before you turn in your story, ask yourself these questions: Have I attributed or documented all my facts? Are the quotes in my story presented fairly and in context? Am I prepared to publicly defend my facts if they are questioned?
A "profile feature" is a newspaper article that explores the background and character of a particular person (or group). The focus should be on a news angle or a single aspect of the subject's personal or professional life. The article should begin with the reason the subject is newsworthy at this time, and should be based (not exclusively) on an extensive interview with the subject.
When reporting a profile feature article, observe your surroundings carefully. Pay attention to your subject's habits and mannerisms. Subtle clues like posture, tone of voice and word choice can all, when presented to readers, contribute to a fuller and more accurate presentation of the interview subject.
The article should open with the subject's connection to the news event and should deal later with birth, family, education, career and hobbies, unless one of those happens to be the focus of the story.
Interview at least five other people, representing a variety of perspectives, about the subject of your profile. Ask them for telling anecdotes. You don't have to quote, or even mention, all of these people in your article. But each may provide you with information that will help you ask better questions of your profile subject, or of the next person you interview.
Make a list of people you would like to interview for your article. Contact them early, and often. If sources you think would be useful don't return your calls or notes, be politely persistent. Ask again, always explaining who you are, the topic of your article, and why you think they would be helpful. If they won't talk to you, ask them to refer you to others who might.
When structuring your story, don't feel tied to the "inverted pyramid" style of writing, in which the most important information is placed in the first paragraph and proceeds retrogressively from there. Consider weaving background material with details and quotes, and when choosing an order in which to present your information, move thematically rather than chronologically.
Don't end your article with a conclusion. Consider saving a particularly resonant quote for the last sentence. This way your article will end with a voice the reader may be left hearing long after he or she has finished your story.


JHC's stewardship of the Jay Estate includes preservation, restoration and maintenance of two buildings owned by our non-profit (the 1838 Jay Mansion and 1907 Van Norden Carriage House) as well as several buildings owned jointly by New York State Parks and Westchester County Parks (1917 Palmer Indoor Tennis House, 1907 Zebra Barn and the Ice House). All restoration is done according to the highest standards set by the Department of the Interior and any ground disturbance is preceded by archaeological investigation.
The buildings on our campus are extremely unique. The 1838 Peter Augustus Jay House is the only Greek Revival house of its kind in the Lower Hudson Valley that is open to the public. One can see how early American architects Chester Hills, Minard Lafever and Asher Benjamin influenced the builder of the Jay Mansion, a Stamford contractor named Edwin Bishop. Meanwhile the Carriage House and Zebra Barn were both designed by architect Frank A. Rooke and constructed by local Rye contractor and carpenter Daniel H. Beary. Beary's signature can also be found within the mansion where he was responsible for renovating the pantry, basement kitchen and adding a gymnasium, billiards room and wine cellar for the Van Norden.
In this set, you will find many before and after photos that showcase the talents of our preservation team including Fred Bland of Beyer Blinder Belle, Bruce MacDonald of Ashwood Restoration, master plasterer, David Flaharty, EverGreene Architectural Arts and many other artisans. We are extremely grateful for the technical assistance we have had from the New York State of Historic Preservation, the Preservation League of New York State and the Landmarks Conservancy of New York.
JHC welcomes tax deductible gifts to facilitate any or all of these projects!
Restoration is ongoing and the amount of work completed is determined by the availability of funding. Some areas of the house will be deliberately left unfinished so as to highlight the different techniques of historic preservationists that have been employed – paint analysis, dendrochronology, molding etc. Research has been informed by archival documents and invaluable photographic records contributed by various Jay, Van Norden, Talcott, Palmer and Devereux family descendants.
Some of the major undertakings have included: complete asbestos abatement for the entire building; stabilization and restoration of the front portico and columns; restoration of all windows and shutters; copper roof replacement; all new electrical and plumbing service; state of the art fire suppression system (wet and dry); new security system; foundation underpinning; installation of a geothermal heating and cooling system; rear veranda pediment restoration; new ADA accessible bathroom; pantry upgrades; entrance hall floor refinishing; period paint finishes and period carpeting in 1838 Drawing Room.
Funds are still needed to configure space on the second floor for a library and reading room, teaching classroom, and non-profit meeting spaces.
As JHC's largest single space for programs and exhibits, restoration of the Carriage House was an early priority and continues to be essential. Work to date has included: major structural and MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) repairs; replacement of the seamed copper roof; re-installation of the original Seth Thomas tower clock; stripping layers of 1960's mastic and concrete to reveal the herringbone brick floor; and configuration of temporary office spaces. Most recently exterior wood rot was remediated, clapboards replaced and the entire structure painted its original yellow hues. To increase energy efficiency in this expansive venue, real wood storm windows were added and a new furnace was installed.
Future restoration projects include refinishing three magnificent sets of original carved mahogany pocket doors; uncovering and reactivating the carriage turntable and converting second floor rooms to ateliers for musicians, writers and artists.
The Viewshed from the Jay Mansion is believed to be over 10,000 years old. The vista was originally maintained as an open area by Paleo-Indians who hunted and camped in the green and protected area next to the harbor where plentiful fish and shellfish could be found. They logged and burned the land which kept it open. The "prospect" was later formalized with stone ha-ha walls in 1822 by Peter Augustus Jay. Though maintained for centuries, the viewway was neglected and became eclipsed by invasive vines. The property was used for dumping.
In 2013, the Jay Heritage Center was awarded stewardship of the landscape. We have since re-opened the viewshed, supervised the removal of over 400 tons of debris, seeded the upland portion with native grasses and wildflowers and we are planning restored gardens. There is more to come!
The Palmer Tennis House is one of the oldest enclosed courts in the United States. It dates to 1917 or earlier. It is a wood clapboard structure 60 feet wide by 115 feet long with massive 3ft thick and 10ft high stone foundation walls. A magnificent wood and steel truss system supports the roof and was at one time accented by 6 copper skylights over a clay court. It predates the Racquet and Tennis Club in New York (1918) and JP Morgan's indoor tennis building on Jekyll Island (1929) which shares similar design elements.
In 2016, temporary scaffolding was installed to buttress one cracked truss; corrugated fiberglass panels were installed where historic skylights once existed. The panels allow sunlight to enter for now to facilitate the next phase of work – review by a structural engineer.

Haenyeo: Jeju's Women Divers
The women divers of Jeju Island begin diving for sea products at an early age and often continue well into their sixties. The "sea women", or "haenyo", as they are known, are an independent and economically powerful group on the island. They are integral to both the local economy and the export market, but with young women now going into other tourism related jobs, their numbers are dwindling.
Black Water: Yeosu Oil Spill
The oil started spilling into the mouth of Gwangyang Port around 9:30 a.m. on Friday, January 31, 2014. A Singapore-registered vessel, piloted by a port captain and exceeding speed limits, ran into pipelines at a GS Caltex petrochemical facility, damaging the pipelines and dumping 164 tons of oil into the coastal waters off Yeosu, South Korea.
Locally Grown: The urban farms and...
As South Korean cities like Busan rapidly develop, high rise buildings and businesses push local farmers off their land. But while the city has come to the farms, the farms haven't left the city. Instead, small farmers and the traditional markets they supply coexist with the "new" Korea, though it is an uneasy relationship. The Korean government has made some attempts to protect small farmers and traditional markets from the encroachment of big business, but free trade agreements and changing consumption habits in South Korea threaten their existence. Stats: 40 percent of South Korea's farmers are over the age of 60. Women comprise more than half of the country's farmer population.

Jindo Miracle Sea Festival
Two to three times each year, a narrow, 2.9-kilometer path opens in the Jindo Sea at the southern tip of the Korean peninsula. The natural phenomenon, caused by the tides, is celebrated yearly at the Jindo Sea-Parting Festival, an event that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors. People dance, sing, collect shellfish and other sea creatures exposed by the low tide, while others cross the land bridge between Jindo Island and Modo Island.
Honen Matsuri: Japanese Penis Festival
Men carry a wooden phallus on a portable shrine during Honen-sai, a fertility festival at Tagata Shrine in Komaki, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The traditional Shinto festival celebrates fertility and a bountiful harvest. The principal offering during the festival is a large wooden phallus. Each year a craftsman carves a new phallus from a Japanese cypress tree. It measures almost 2.4 meters long and weighs 280kg.
Miryang and the Politics of Power
Korea's rapid economic growth demands enormous amounts of electricity, and it's that demand that has met the fierce resistance of the farmers of Miryang, a small city 47 kilometers northwest of Busan. To these mostly elderly farmers, the most visible effect of "development" is not cell phones, flatscreen TVs, or air-conditioning. It is the high-voltage transmission towers that have sprouted along the ridges of their mountain valley.

Gaegogi: Dog Meat Markets
In South Korea, the term "boknal" refers to the hottest days of summer, pre-designated days based on the lunar calendar. On these days (and others), some people consume dog meat, which they claim has a cooling effect on the body. Though the practice continues, many South Koreans are opposed to eating dog meat. Here, dogs are butchered at Gupo Market, Busan, Korea.
"Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi!"
Oni Matsuri is a demon festival at Akumi Kanbe Shinmeisha Shrine in Toyohashi, Japan. Oni Matsuri, in which two people dressed as a goblin and a demon perform a choreographed battle, celebrates the coming of Spring, and people are showered with sweets and flour. Getting covered with flour is considered especially lucky, as festival lore says it will keep you healthy in the summer months.

Where Can I Get A Loan With Low Interest.
What You Must Know About Terms Of A Payday Loan Are you in a financial bind? Do you need some money to hold you over until your next paycheck? If extra funds are needed, think about cash advances. Payday loans are perfect when you just need a little extra time to get back on your financial feet. If you have to use a payday loan because of an emergency, or unexpected event, understand that many people are put in an unfavorable position by doing this. If you do not use them responsibly, you could wind up in a cycle that you cannot get out of. You could be in debt to the payday loan company for a very long time. Understand what APR means before agreeing to a payday loan. APR, or annual percentage rate, is the amount of interest that the company charges on the loan while you are paying it back. Even though payday cash advances are quick and convenient, compare their APRs with the APR charged by a bank or your credit card company. Most likely, the payday loan's APR will be much higher. Ask what the payday loan's interest rate is first, before you make a decision to borrow any money. If you're in payday loan trouble, organizations exist that can help you. They will, for no charge, help you to negotiate a fair interest rate and/or consolidate your loans. Look for different loan programs that might work better for your personal situation. Because cash advances are becoming more popular, loan companies are stating to offer a little more flexibility in their loan programs. Some companies offer 30-day repayments rather than one to two weeks, and you may qualify for a staggered repayment plan that can make the loan easier to pay back. A great tip for those looking to take out a payday loan, is to avoid applying for multiple loans at once. Not only will this make it harder for you to pay them all back by your next paycheck, but other companies will know if you have applied for other loans. Make sure you check out several payday loan companies first. Some may offer lower interests rate or lower fees so you should weigh your options before deciding on one. Some lenders may offer money almost immediately, but others may have waiting periods. Each lender will be different and you'll need to find the one right for your needs. The best way to use a payday loan is to pay it back in full as soon as possible. The fees, interest, and other costs associated with these loans can cause significant debt, that is almost impossible to pay off. So when you can pay your loan off, do it and do not extend it. Cash advances may charge large fees and high interest rates, but they can also overdraft your account. If your check does not clear the bank, you will be charged an overdraft fee in addition to the interest rate and fees charged by the payday lender. Check the BBB standing of payday loan companies. There are some reputable companies out there, but there are some others that are less than reputable. By researching their standing with the Better Business Bureau, you are giving yourself confidence that you are dealing with one of the honourable ones out there. Fast money with few strings attached can be very enticing, most especially if you are strapped for cash with bills piling up. Hopefully, this article has opened your eyes to the different aspects of payday loans, and you are now fully aware of what they can do for you and your current financial predicament.

For the seventh of a series on legal matters in general practice, newsGP spoke with two experts about whether GPs can face legal liability for negligence if they give assistance in an emergency.
Most GPs would not hesitate to help in an emergency situation, but could they be leaving themselves open to legal liability for negligence if they do so?
Personal injury lawyer Stuart Le Grand says a Good Samaritan is not liable for any damage caused by their well-intentioned acts or omissions.
'Generally speaking, a Good Samaritan is someone who comes forward to render assistance in a medical emergency without expectation of being paid,' Mr Le Grand said.
However, Mr Le Grand said a Good Samaritan is not liable for any damage caused by well-intentioned acts or omissions.
'Australian states and territories have in place Good Samaritan legislation to ensure that people who step forward to provide emergency medical assistance are not held legally liable for their actions, provided they acted in good faith,' he said. 'These provisions were introduced following the Ipp Review into the law of negligence.
'Interestingly, however, the Ipp review recommended against the creation of special legal rules for either volunteers or Good Samaritans.
'In ACT, NSW, Tasmania and Victoria, a Good Samaritan is someone who provides assistance to a person who is, amongst other things, "at risk of being injured" [ACT and NSW] or "apparently at risk of death or injury" [Tasmania and Victoria],' Mr Le Grand said.
'In the NT and SA, "emergency assistance" means "emergency medical assistance" or "any other form of assistance to a person whose life or safety is endangered in a situation of emergency".
Mr Le Grand said, in Queensland, the Law Reform Act 1995 provides that a medical practitioner, nurse or member of an organisation listed in the regulations is not liable for acts done in good faith and without gross negligence. The Civil Liability Act 2003 also extends protection to persons who provide duties to enhance public safety for certain entities listed in the Civil Liability Regulations 2014.
their ability to perform is significantly impaired by the consumption of alcohol or drugs (every jurisdiction other than Queensland and Victoria).
Mr Le Grand said the question of what constitutes 'significantly impaired' will be a matter of expert evidence.
'The legislation should alleviate the previously held fears that stopping to assist in an emergency situation will expose you to legal liability,' he said.
'The purpose of the legislation is to encourage people, particularly healthcare professionals, to assist strangers in need without the fear of being sued.
MDA National's Dr Sara Bird says GPs should worry more about the consequences of not helping in an emergency if they are able to do so.
What is a medical Good Samaritan?
Dr Bird said it is important to define the act of being a medical Good Samaritan.
'Essentially, it is a doctor who comes to the aid of an injured person, or a person who is at risk of injury, with emergency assistance or advice, and without an expectation of payment or other reward, and where there is no prior doctor–patient relationship,' she told newsGP.
Dr Bird said doctors often worry about their legal liability if they assist in an emergency situation, but, in fact, the greater concern for a doctor should be if they don't assist if able to do so. She said the Medical Board of Australia's code of conduct outlines doctors' professional obligations when providing treatment in emergencies.
'If a complaint was made about a doctor's failure to provide Good Samaritan assistance, it would be assessed against the code of conduct,' Dr Bird said.
'Doctors may be subject to disciplinary action if they don't provide assistance in circumstances where they could,' Dr Bird said.
The definition of 'unsatisfactory conduct' for doctors in NSW also includes a failure to attend a person in need of urgent medical attention without reasonable cause, after being requested to do so.
It was an evening in 2002 in Western Australia and Dr Dekker had just narrowly avoided being hit by a car when she heard the same car crash into a ditch.
But, instead of stopping to help, Dr Dekker drove to the nearby police station to report the accident.
In 2013, the State Administrative Tribunal found that Dr Dekker had been guilty of 'improper conduct in a professional respect' for failing to stop and render emergency assistance in the 'near miss' incident involving her car and the second car.
But the Court of Appeal ultimately overturned the decision.
'The doctor gave evidence she was in a "state of shock", "petrified", "freaked out" by the near miss,' Dr Bird said.
Dr Bird said that decision provides reassurance to doctors that their professional duty to render assistance in an emergency situation will depend on a consideration of a range of issues and the particular facts and circumstances of the emergency.
Are you covered if you provide medical assistance during a flight?
Every Australian state and territory has legislation that protects Good Samaritans from liability. Dr Bird said the legal protection for doctors who provide assistance during in-flight emergencies is complex, and can be complicated further by issues of legal jurisdiction.
'The law governing events during a flight is usually the law of the country in which the aircraft is registered, except when the aircraft is on the ground or in sovereign airspace,' she said.
Dr Bird said GPs should also check with their medical defence organisation whether they are covered for Good Samaritan acts, especially in overseas jurisdictions such as the US.
A doctor who had four drinks over two hours was driving home when he came across and stopped at a motor vehicle accident. Would he still be covered by the Good Samaritan legislation given the consumption of alcohol?
'In most jurisdictions, Good Samaritans who are "intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or drugs" are excluded from the legislative protections from liability, but it is unlikely that this doctor would be considered to be intoxicated,' Dr Bird said.
According to Dr Bird, at a certain level of alcohol consumption a given doctor's performance will deteriorate to a point where the risk:benefit ratio from a particular intervention in an emergency becomes unfavourable. Their judgement may also be impaired.
'Ultimately, where there is a person in need of emergency treatment and you are the only person on the scene or the only person who has had medical training … you will need to try to balance the risks and the severity of the potential consequences of your intervention or your non-intervention,' Dr Bird said.

The chance to observe wild animals as they go about their natural lives is one of the most fascinating experiences that national parks have to offer. Along with this opportunity, however, comes the responsibility to treat wild animals with the respect they deserve, and need.
The Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake is a species at risk and Ontario's only venomous snake. The Massassauga is shy and non-aggressive by nature and is rarely seen in the wild due to its cryptic colouration and ability to camouflage. When feeling threatened the Massassauga will rattle its tail as a warning. If you have the chance to encounter one, it is best to give it space and leave it be.

Black bears visit the islands through the warmer months searching for food. Generally they prefer to avoid humans, although food left unsecured can attract them. Store your food and cooking supplies in the campground food lockers (where provided) or on your vessel. Please read You are in Black Bear Country for more information.
This plant can be found throughout the park, usually along trails and in disturbed areas like campgrounds and day use areas. Poison ivy can grow as low-lying ground cover or a small bush, and contact with the plant can result in a painful, itchy rash. Remember: "Leaves of three leave them be!"
Raccoons are opportunistic creatures when it comes to looking for and obtaining food. They are often referred to as the "masked bandits" of the campground. With their agile front paws they are very adept at opening containers, packages, coolers and even zippers on tents.
There is an increasing number of areas in Ontario where ticks carrying Lyme disease are found. These black-legged ticks (also known as deer ticks) attach to birds which migrate from place to place, bringing this health risk. While Lyme disease is easily treated when detected early, it can have serious and permanent health consequences if left untreated.
Going outdoors? Be tick smart.
Keep campsites neat and clean.
Keep food and all smelly products (i.e. toothpaste, soap, etc.) out of your tent. Store in a secure, animal-proof container or in the campground food lockers.
Dishwater is an attractant for raccoons and bears and should be disposed of at the washrooms, not behind your campsite.
When hiking, wear long sleeves, pants and hiking boots. Avoid wearing sandals or bare feet.
DO NOT feed any wildlife.

Galbula é um gênero de aves da família Galbulidae, é considerado dentro da ordem Piciformes, porém por vezes é colocado em uma ordem própria, os Galbuliformes. As espécies desse gênero são conhecidas como ariramba. São endêmicas dos Neotrópicos. Possuem bicos longos e finos, e a plumagem varia em cores chamativas, principalmente de verde e laranja.

O gênero foi introduzido pelo zoólogo francês Mathurin Jacques Brisson em 1760 com a ariramba-de-cauda-verde (Galbula galbula) como espécie-tipo. O nome genérico Galbula é a palavra em latim que significa "pequeno pássaro amarelo".

Espécies
Dez espécies vivas são atualmente reconhecidas neste gênero:

Uma espécie fóssil, Galbula hylochoreutes, pertencente aos meados do Mioceno da Colômbia. Era aparentemente mais especializadas para alimentação aérea do que as espécies vivas.

I'm sitting in my favorite coffee shop the other day, nursing an oat milk latte, and banging away on my laptop, when this guy starts asking everybody—including the barista—if anyone wears a watch with Google Wear OS. "I need to talk to somebody who wears one for a story I'm writing," he says. Looks like I'm keeping good company, at least; but I couldn't be of any help because I tend to lean towards "old fashioned" analog watches. It's not that I have a problem with smart watches, but I like to wear my timepieces as expressions of personal style, swapping them out to suit my outfit or my mood. I figure I can always wear a heart rate monitor when I workout if I really need to know how I'm progressing with my VO2 max (I don't) and just about everything else is already on my phone, so...what's the point?
That said, I'm pretty picky about what I wear on my wrist everyday. I like matching the strap or bracelet to my shoes or work bag (yes, guys are into that, too...and yes, I bought one of those tool kits so I can swap out links and change my straps easily). Like a lot of guys, I do have a sort of "uniform" that I wear all the time—white, navy, gray, or black with black bags and accessories. When asked if I wanted to test out a timepiece from Vincero, I picked The Chrono S in matte black because it stands out the way it's supposed to: it's sophisticated and modern, and minimalistic in a way that makes a luxurious design statement.
The biggest site wide sale of the year HAPPENING NOW on VinceroWatches.com. It's ending soon so see the best prices of they'll have all year here.
Pulling the Vincero out of the box felt pretty good right away. The weight was substantial, but not heavy (I like a hefty watch, but hate when it feels like I'm carrying an alarm clock on my wrist). The case was grand without being gratuitous. You know what they say about first impressions, so we're off to a great start.
I wore the Chrono S out the first day to an agenda full of meetings and a business dinner where I had to be dressed a little more on the formal side. The chronograph looked great with my classic white dress shirt, navy blazer, and dress pants...a great complement to my black leather folio. I definitely felt like I was holding my own against some of the guys in the room who were working Rolexes and Apple Watches.
The next day I was back to the coffee shop and had a few more casual appointments, so threw the watch on with a navy T-shirt, jeans, and a puffer jacket, where it proved to be a sporty match. What was also awesome was that I could use the stopwatch function at the gym to time my rest between sets, and it looked great with my usual black shorts and a tank top.
The watch face is impressive. I was initially struck by the handsome watch face and case. The matte black finish is clean and refined, combined with silver and white markings that make it quite easy to read. The date window is placed at an unexpected, almost playful angle on the face.
There are nice options for the band. The top-grain Italian leather band maintains the graceful good looks, with a rich, textured effect. There is also a matte black steel bracelet, and mocha or tan leather straps to change up the look (they've got my number) that can be purchased separately.
It's got a hidden inspirational message. Before I put it on, I flipped the Chrono S over to reveal a hidden surprise: the back of the watch includes Julius Caesar's famous quote in Latin, "Veni. Vidi. Vici. (I came. I saw, I conquered.)" a nice thing to keep in the back of my mind as I start each day. Vincero's brand message, "Live your legacy," is also inscribed for further inspiration. A slice of historic Italian marble incorporated into the case is a final, exquisite touch.
I'm impressed. Vincero manufactures its watches in small batches, like a fine whisky, so the team can hand check every unit. That kind of care showed through the final product, and yet with that quality and attention to detail, the price is still quite accessible. The Chrono S features a Citizen Miyota Quartz movement, a sapphire coated crystal face, and is water resistant up to five atmospheres. I didn't test that out because I didn't want to hurt the leather band, but would love to take it into the pool if (or rather, when) I get the steel bracelet.
I also just liked the Vincero (which means "I will win") story. Like a lot of people their age, the founders found themselves graduating into the worst recession in years, so they went to China and started a watch company (as one does). After learning some lessons, they turned their focus to creating uncompromising value, offering a luxury experience at a reasonable cost. In this watch fans opinion, they're doing a great job.

Link was elected SGA president in spring 2020, but a Salisbury University spokesperson told Delmarva Now he resigned from the position in July, though he is still enrolled as a student as of Tuesday afternoon.
Documents show the investigation began when a mother reported to police she'd searched her 16-year-old son's phone and discovered Link had been soliciting sexual acts and pornography from the juvenile via Snapchat messages.
Those messages included requests to record the juvenile having sexual intercourse so that the recordings could be sold, court records stated, and for a photo of the juvenile's driving permit that could be edited to change his name, address and birthday for a live cam show.

More:19-year-old charged with murder after shooting man in the back, police say
Working with the juvenile, investigators were able to locate Link and seize his cellphone as evidence, according to documents. A search warrant was obtained for the phone and the same messages were recovered from the device. Link refused to speak with investigators about the incident.
A July interview with the 16-year-old juvenile revealed things had turned "inappropriate" with Link about four to five months earlier. As the interactions with Link escalated, the juvenile told investigators the 21-year-old asked him to do sexually explicit live recordings six times over that period, documents stated.

Homogeneous para-Kähler Einstein manifolds. (English. Russian original) Zbl 1179.53050
Russ. Math. Surv. 64, No. 1, 1-43 (2009); translation from Usp. Mat. Nauk 64, No. 1, 3-50 (2009).
First the authors give a wide survey of known results about para-complex geometry. The second part of this paper is devoted to para-Kähler geometry.
A para-Kähler structure on a manifold \(M\) is a pair \((g,K)\), where \(g\) is pseudo-Riemannian metric and \(K\) is a parallel skew-symmetric para-complex structure. A \(2n\)-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) admits a para-Kähler structure \((g,K)\) if and only if its holonomy group is a subgroup of \(\text{GL}_n(\mathbb R) \subset\text{SO}_{n,n}\subset\text{GL}_{2n}(\mathbb R)\). If \((g,K)\) is a para-Kähler structure on \(M\), then \(\omega=g\circ K\) is a symplectic structure and the \(\pm 1\)-eigendistributions \(T^\pm M\) of \(K\) are two integrable \(\omega\)-Lagrangian distributions.
The authors derive some formulas for the curvature and Ricci curvature of a para-Kähler structure \((g,K)\) in terms of para-holomorphic coordinates and show that the Ricci tensor \(S\) depends only on the determinant of the metric tensor \(g_{\alpha\bar\beta}\). Next they consider a homogeneous manifold \((M=G/H,K,\text{vol})\) with an invariant para-complex structure \(K\) and an invariant volume form vol. The authors prove that the pull-back \(\pi^\star\rho\) of the Ricci form \(\rho=S\circ K\) of any para-Kähler structure \((g,K)\) is an exact form on \(G\), that is \(\pi^\star\rho=d\psi\), where \(\psi\) is a left-invariant 1-form called the Koszul form. Finally, they describe all invariant para-complex structures \(K\) on \(M=G/H\) in terms of fundamental gradiations of the Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g\) with \(\mathfrak g_0=\mathfrak h:=\text{Lie} (H)\) and show that they are consistent with any invariant symplectic structure \(\omega\) on \(G/H\). Moreover, the authors give a complete description of invariant para-Kähler-Einstein metrics on homogeneous manifolds of a semisimple Lie group.

How cool is this wallet from 11:11? The tiny company uses ancient coins, confederate currency, and even the periodic table to make their wallets, passport covers, and card cases. They're durable, standard size, and just funky enough to look cool and not contrived. If you're sick of sporting a plain-black folder, you can snag one of these creations to spice up your style.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
I will sorely miss that gleam in the eye of the most Irish man I ever knew and loved to hang with any time I could in the past 47 yrs!!! God bless and comfort you all!!
I will miss Patrick: he was a good friend and Mentor. He taught me many things about semiconductors that were not in the books. His gentle leadership is missed.


In my last post, I was looking for someone to tell me about a race condition in the cancel() code path, but to my embarrassment, Krishnan Varadarajan, one of the many talented developers on the ConcRT team, pointed out a bad race on the run/wait code path!
In the original code, it was possible for the task counter to be decremented to zero as the last task finishes, just before a new run() call increments the count, resets the event and the calling code follows it with a call to wait(), which returns when the working thread calls event.set(). Ouch!
My issue was that I was trying too hard to avoid using locks in my code, something that should always raise a red flag. Lock-free code is great if you can pull it off, but almost always introduces complexity beyond its worth, and it is almost always incorrect.
The thing we are typically worried about when we dabble in lock-free code is scalability, and lock-based code has fine scalability as long as you don't hold them for very long (which creates contention).
The serial task group exists in order to avoid taking locks for the duration of each scheduled task, not for a few individual instructions, as I was trying to do.
// Loop until there is no more work to perform.
I also removed the use of QueueUserWorkItem and replaced it with calls to the ConcRT scheduler, which allows me to use the serial task group with any scheduler, so that tasks are serialized by the serial task group, but still sharing resources with tasks of another scheduler, such as the one used to run the task that calls run() in the first place.
Now, a variant of the serial task group is one that executes its tasks on the UI thread of some window in your application. In fact, it's a trivial modification to the serial_task_group, and the source is available here.
The actual message value would have to be modified to not collide with any other user-defined messages that may appear in your specific application, of course. Alternatively, you could use RegisterMessage() to get a unique message identity at runtime, then pass that in to the task group constructor.
// Request a new worker thread if necessary.
wait() is just as dangerous here as it is with the serial task group – if you call wait() from the thread that owns the window handle, which will include all tasks scheduled by the task group, the program will promptly lock up. So don't.

Would You like to help him with his car?
I noticed him already a couple of minutes before. But as he looked very young I didn't approach him at the first place. Just when I listened him calling a friend for a party in a club I had to try my luck and to find out his age. His name was Tomas, and he was 18, almost 19 to be correct. And a real cutie. He just moved to Prague to study Economics.
We love our horny followers!


I do not have a story, just a question. Could you please tell me how to get the January 9th issue of the North Poll section. I missed getting a copy of it and can't seem to find it anywhere on the website. Thank you.
