This mixed methods study investigated the relationships between the constructs of self-efficacy, growth mindset, and mathematics identity among middle school students at a South Georgia charter school. Constructivist grounded theory was used to investigate the strength of these constructs along with student perceptions of what factors make one a math person. The study was an explanatory sequential design consisting of an online survey followed by student interviews. Ninety-one students participated in the survey. Multiple linear regression was used to determine whether a correlation existed between the variables as well as among student subgroups. Self-efficacy was found to be a predictor of math identity for all subgroups except for students who were not white and students with below average math achievement. Growth mindset was found to be a predictor of self-efficacy for all subgroups except for students who were females, students who were not white and students with below average math achievement. Growth mindset was found to be a predictor of math identity for males. A MANOVA found no significant relationships between the student-level factors of gender, race, socio-economic status, or math achievement level and the dependent variable of self-efficacy, growth mindset, and math identity. Embedded sampling was used to select 30 students from the survey participants for one-on-one interviews to more deeply investigate student perceptions of these variables. Qualitative analysis found interest, content proficiency, and enjoyment of mathematics to be prominent factors in whether one is perceived as a math person for students of all levels of math identity.

West Green Place N17 is another Pocket Living project for which XCO2 has provided environmental consultancy and full MEP services from concept/pre-planning through to completion. This project is to date the largest and one of the most ambitious and challenging undertakings for Pocket Living. The site, lying adjacent to Downhills Park in Haringey and accommodating a play group and community facilities, presented multiple constraints but also unique opportunities. The new development comprises 4 blocks of flats and a row of 16 townhouses, a new building for a nursery and community centre, and a public realm that extends and connects to Downhills Park.
XCO2, as part of this vibrant multi-disciplinary team, configured the overarching sustainability and energy strategy for the scheme and engaged in the extensive consultation exercises with the Council's officers and other stakeholders during the pre-application period. XCO2's M&E team helped develop the servicing strategy since feasibility stage and carried the project through to completion.
The project includes low carbon heat generation through a central energy centre, containing a CHP network that serves all of the flats, prefabricated bathroom and utility 'pods', highly-efficient building envelopes, a network of electric vehicle charging points, photovoltaics and SUDS. The townhouses are not serviced by the CHP network but are individually serviced. Carbon emissions are expected to be reduced by 35% against the current Building Regulations baseline emissions.


With many of the existing patents covering these treatments set to expire in the next few years, the development of biologic therapeutics similar to the original drug (biosimilars) has become increasingly important. This is highlighted by the report that Spectrum Pharmaceuticals and Viropro are set to work together to develop a biosimilar to Rituximab (GEN News Highlights, 2011). As a direct result, assays that can assess the ability of a biosimilar to act in a manner similar to the original biologic have also seen increased interest. The current "gold standard" ADCC assay incorporates 51Cr. The procedure involves labeling and incubating target cells with the radioligand, assessment of the labeling procedure, and finally performance of the actual assay. Not only is this time consuming, but involves the use and eventual costly disposal of radioactive material.
A number of new cell-based technologies have been, and continue to be, developed that are easier to use than 51Cr, less time consuming, and do not include the use of radioactivity. These include high-throughput methods that separately assess antibody binding to target as well as CD16 receptors, as well as medium-throughput methods that assess this binding in one assay. Each has its own strengths, and can be the assay of choice depending on the needs of the researcher, or the point in development at which the testing is taking place. In addition, these new assay chemistries are amenable to automated processing and can be detected using microplate readers. Here we describe the automation of two such chemistries. The first targeted towards early identification of lead antibody candidates, and the second ideal for confirmation of final therapeutic formulations using actual human natural killer (NK) cells. Results demonstrate how the combination of assay and instrumentation create robust, efficient, and easy-to-use methods for the identification and validation of antibodies being considered for use in ADCC applications.


Day founded Suncrest USA on Jan. 1, 2012. As an entrepreneur, Day has launched several companies and has been active in greenhouse operations for more than 12 years. Day spent over 30 years in technology marketing, a career that began at Saatchi & Saatchi in New York City. His agency was engaged in branding and market strategy for mid-size firms and Fortune 500 companies in a dozen industries.
Day holds a bachelor of arts in chemistry and worked on his Ph.D. in biochemistry before pioneering an interdisciplinary master of science degree focused on organic agriculture, renewable energy and systems integration.
Day's brother, Robert Day, is Suncrest USA's co-founder, having managed up to 250,000 square feet of wholesale flower greenhouse operations in Texas. He has a horticulture degree from Cornell University, and brings a lot of experience to the table in greenhouse production.
Day said traditional vegetable growers sell "straight to distribution, who controls the commodity price point. Growers at the farm gate get the lowest part of the deal. Our business model is to have local greenhouses in hydroponics. We identify growers who already understand the growing process using greenhouses. We license the hydroponics technology to the existing grower who's set up for high-volume production.
Suncrest USA studies the local population size and determines approximately how many greenhouses that population base can support.
Suncrest USA does not pursue organic production, which has been a controversial element of greenhouse vegetable production in soil-less environments.
Working closely with its growers has enabled Suncrest to help convert flower growers to hydroponic vegetable production.
"Cross training is relatively simple," he said, pointing to Oku, of Pescadero, California, a family-owned cut flower operation established in 1902.
"Growers in Pescadero never grew vegetables in deep culture hydroponics. They were able to quite quickly move over," he said.
Day said the biggest challenge is training regarding food safety issues, something the cut flower industry doesn't face.
Suncrest is developing its own sales and distribution force, and is working with outside distributors on a "very selective" basis. It's reaching out to restaurants, a major user of the company's lettuce selections.

How to get the best water pump?
due to global warming, the water level is rising. This has increased the chance of flooding. That is why it is important to ensure that your part does not overflow. That's why everyone needs a water pump. With a water pump you can pump one point to another area. You can also move water to areas that are too dry. Because of this certain things can not dry out. but yes where do you buy a water pump? there are so many providers who offer a water pump that you may not know where to buy it. That's why you have to look online at various providers. This is also because many providers of price differ. This way you can save as a few bucks if you look carefully. Furthermore, the brand can still differ from the suppliers. Because of the brand, the price differs, of course, for the brand, but also the material and it's quality. Brands like for example: Grundfos or Tallas. This way you can have different material to move this type of water. You have to be careful how clean or dirty the water is while moving the water. So it is important that if you have a lot of mud and dirt that you are going to buy a water pump that is resistant to this. This differs mainly in terms of material but also of the material. Do you still not quite know what kind of water pump you need or do not know what the best water pump is? Then you can always look at the websites and fill out a questionnaire to come up with the best water pump. for more information, you can also call the customer service who would like to lead you to the best water pump purchase. So you have to buy it one time.

Q: how to ignore zero values in python time =int(input())
day = time // (24 * 3600)
time = time % (24 * 3600)
hour = time // 3600
time %= 3600
minutes = time // 60
time %= 60
seconds = time
if day > 0:
print((str(int(day))+(" Days"))+(" ")+(str(int(hour))+(" Hours"))+(" ")+(str(int(minutes)) + (" Minutes"))+(" ")+ (str(int(seconds)) + (" Seconds")))

elif hour > 0:
print((str(int(hour)) + " Hours") +(" ") + (str(int(minutes)) + " Minutes") + (" ")+ (str(int(seconds)) + " Seconds"))

elif minutes > 0:
print((str(int(minutes)) + " Minutes") + (" ")+ (str(int(seconds)) + " Seconds"))

else:
print(str(int(seconds)) + " Seconds")

A: you can simple ignore null values by an if condition like:
if (data != np.nan)

or for zero values:
if (data != 0)

or for data greater than and not equal to 0:
if (data != 0) and (data > 0)

and same can be done with elif.
you can take "data" variable as any list or value/number.

A: I think you are looking for something like this
from datetime import timedelta, datetime

def timeFormat():
  sec = timedelta(seconds=int(input('Enter seconds')))
  d = datetime(1,1,1) + sec
  # insert some logic here to get rid of values == 0
  print('{} days, {} hours, {} minutes, {} seconds'.format(d.day-1, d.hour, d.minute, d.second))

All the vocals are my own recorded on my iMac internal microphone. Started with the two harmonies, then improvised vocally on top and then sliced the improvisations into midi and used that for the rest of the tracks (other than the percussion, of course). Definitely not a song yet, but more like elements of a song in progress. Thanks for listening!
Loving the beat and creative nature of using your vocal. The Impro nature is great but defo needs taming into a song with a lyric maybe. Great assignment.
Sounds like a plan, Stay with it. I like your idea.
Crazy, love to see where you take it!
Very Nice work .......... Reminds me of the Inuit throat singing or Katajjaq is a form of musical performance uniquely found among the Inuit.

Assorted pastries (not pictured)
I think it was the 1945 Conterno Barolo. Or maybe it was the 1931 Borgogno Barolo. Maybe the 1970 Mascarello Barolo Monprivato. Those are just a few of the most memorable bottles I have had the privilege of sharing with Il Professore.
Over the years I have also bought quite a bit of wine from Il Professore, the collector I consider the world's greatest authority on traditionally made Barolo and Barbaresco. Those bottles, which include numerous examples of pristine wines from the 1950s through the 1980s, are the backbone of my cellar and have played a huge role in my own education. Needless to say, I never miss an opportunity to share dinner and a few bottles with Il Professore.
La Rei seems to be going through an especially brilliant period following the arrival of Marco Forneris, formerly of La Libera. It is unclear how things will develop now that Chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo is consulting on the menu, but I hope things work out.
Dinner was delicious. I opted for the traditional menu. What could be better with these wines? Not much in my book. The carne cruda, which is a tartare made from Fassone Piemontese, a rare breed of beef, was delicious. The presentation may have been a bit updated, but the flavors were classic all the way. That was even truer of the Vitello Tonnato and Agnolotti al Plin, both of which were fabulous. The pheasant with late-harvest moscato, cacao and hazelnuts was a bit more adventurous and not really traditional, but it was deeply satisfying just the same. The small cookies and sweets served with coffee were more than enough for my sweet tooth.
On this night, though, the focus was on wine. I had been dying to drink – not taste – Jacquesson's Brut Cuvée 736, following my visit to the domaine a few months ago. This bottle was every bit as great as I remembered. Built on a base of 2008, the 736 was brilliant, focused and chiseled from the very first taste. What a wine!
What can I possibly say about Bruno Giacosa's 2007 Barbaresco Riserva Asili? That it was stunning? Obvious. Emotional? Of course. From the moment it was poured, the 2007 Asili was utterly captivating. Sweet rose petals and the sweetest of red berries – all framed by silky tannins – graced the palate in this exquisite Barbaresco. Surprisingly open for a young Barbaresco, the 2007 was flat-out beautiful. The style was so deeply personal, I could only wonder why there aren't more wines like this being made in Piedmont. Wow!
Mascarello's 2001 Barolo Riserva Ca' d'Morissio was a formidable pairing to the 2007 Giacosa Asili. Much younger and more powerful, the 2001 Ca' d'Morissio was more about potential. An exotic mélange of rose petal, plum, sweet cherry and exotic spice notes lingered on the finish in a stunning, breathtaking Barolo of the highest level. Monprivato on steroids. That pretty much sums it up.
Mauro Mascarello has often told me he stopped making his Barolo Bricco because it aged inconsistently. That was certainly borne out by the 1999, a wine that doesn't have too much in common with the 1999 Monprivato, even though it emerges from a parcel just across the road from that site. The bouquet never really found its focus in a Barolo that was far fresher on the palate than in its aromatics.
Earlier on this trip I spent some time with Beppe Rinaldi, more seeing vineyards than tasting wine. The 1978 Barolo, which was made by his father, was a crazy, crazy wine. Head spinning in its myriad aromas and flavors, the 1978 was simply stunning, but hard to peg as it was always changing in the glass. A dark, mysterious Barolo, the 1978 captured the essence of what makes traditional Barolo so compelling.
In my opinion, Mascarello's 1970 Barolo Monprivato remains one of the greatest Barolos ever made. I remember taking a bottle of this wine to a dinner a few months ago and my host thinking I was bringing a lesser vintage! Barolo fans know the 1970 is the first Monprivato, and since it was made from a parcel planted with 100% Michet, it is also in a sense the first Ca' d'Morissio. Still stunning, the 1970 exploded from the glass with seemingly endless layers of dark fruit, leather, licorice, smoke, plums and exotic spices. Readers fortunate enough to own the 1970 need not to worry, the wine will drink well for decades to come.
Some wines are more than wine, they are history. That was the case with our last two bottles. Mascarello's 1964 Barolo, which was made from Mauro Mascarello's father, Giuseppe, from a blend of vineyards, was as silky and polished as it has always been. Every time I taste this wine I wonder if making Barolo from multiple sites was such a bad idea after all. Sweet, perfumed and utterly impeccable, the 1964 was simply gorgeous on this night.
I was quite surprised with Mascarello's 1934 Barolo, a wine I had never tasted. Darker, richer and more powerful than the 1964, it showed remarkable depth, tannin and integrity for a wine of its age. Sadly, these days it is impossible to taste a wine that is 80 years old and not wonder about its authenticity. Still, the bottle and cork were clearly correct, but it is possible that over the years the vintage label might have been swapped with that of another year, accidentally or not. All indications on the bottle, labels and cork, though, looked perfect, and the wine was definitely a Mascarello Barolo, but perhaps not from 1934. Most wines I have had of this age are more advanced, but I confess to not having much experience with 1930s Mascarello Barolos. As for the wine, it was absolutely delicious, right vintage or not.
In case you're wondering, the sole Tuscan intruder in this dinner, the super-rare 1985 Cannaio from Montevertine, was corked. Ouch. Even so, the 1985 was incredibly finessed, which made the cork taint even more painful. Clearly, this is a gorgeous, gorgeous wine. I hope to be able to taste a more representative example at some point in the future.
One bad wine was not enough to dampen our spirits, however. Far from it. This was another superb dinner at La Rei full of great wine and food, and, most importantly, friendship.
Giuseppe Mascarello & Figlio

The Silicon Valley tour continues as we learn about the oldest struggle in tech — idea vs. execution. As we listen and drive, we come to an inconspicuous building housing the real backbone of Amazon — AWS. We learn about Bezos Amazon's beginnings.
The Silicon Valley tour continues from Amazon to Google, starting with the Android Garden. Here we'll learn about Google vs. Microsoft. Then it's straight down the road to Google's headquarters, called the Googleplex. You'll get to walk through the campus.
That brings us to Microsoft and the beginnings of the modern world. We'll learn about Gates, BASIC, and Windows. We'll stop at a museum to play the first-ever video game and see one of the first-ever computers.
From there, we continue onto Apple. We learn about Apple vs. Microsoft and Jobs vs. Gates. We can even stop by Jobs' Garage.
The Silicon Valley tour's not over yet! We go from smartphones to smart cars. We'll learn about Elon Musk and Tesla as we drive on toward the heart of Silicon Valley.
Our tour finally ends at Stanford, which churns out tech entrepreneurs. We can even visit the true birthplace of tech, the Hewlett-Packard Garage.
Just hop into your car, set up the self-guided driving tour of Silicon Valley, and get started on this technology lover's ultimate adventure.
Starting Point Address: 1401 Marsh Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025
Formerly the Facebook HQ, now the Meta HQ, this imposing complex is home to the company that drove much of the social media revolution. As you circle the campus, you'll learn about the origins of Facebook, eccentric CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and the many controversies which have surrounded the company for years.
From 1-Click to AWS
Though humble on the outside, this building is the brain behind the most important part of Amazon's business model: Amazon Web Services. Here, workers manage the globe-spanning cloud computing service which gives Amazon dominance not only over the retail scene, but over huge swaths of the internet itself.
Amazon: Convenience vs Monopoly
They also pioneered the now-famous "two pizza teams" concept. Every part of the company was divided into self-sufficient teams -- each of which had to be small enough that two pizzas would feed them! This structure gave Amazon the agility to grow rapidly.
Heading to Android Garden
Google's Android Garden is filled with strangely charming foam sculptures of lollipops, marshmallows, cupcakes, and tons of other sweets. Each represents a different software update to the Android operating system.
Googleplex
The Googleplex is the headquarters of Google, the search giant known for its catchphrase "Don't be evil." As you drive by this enormous complex, you'll get the full story behind the company's creation and its braniac founders.
Charleston Park
Charleston Park is the only part of Google's huge campus that's open to the public. It's a lush, peaceful place where employees relax and recharge. As one would expect, it's also full of fun and funky sculptures.
Microsoft might not have been founded in Silicon Valley, but you can't talk about tech without it. Here at their California HQ, you'll hear the whole history of this influential company, from Bill Gates to its ongoing feud with Apple.
The Computer History Museum houses the largest collection of computing artifacts in the world. The collection comprises nearly 90,000 objects and photos, 4,000 feet of cataloged documentation, and hundreds of gigabytes of software. If you're a major techie, this place will be right up your alley.
Apple Infinite Loop
Apple has three separate campuses in Silicon Valley, but this one is the original. As you drive around the loop, you'll hear how Apple became the company it is today, and how they continue to shape the future of technology around the world.
If you'd like to take a break and check out the latest Apple tech, this Apple store is the place for you. There's also a cafe here if you need a snack.
Exit 13 for Steve Jobs Garage
An optional detour can take you to Steve Jobs' garage, where he started it all. Whether or not you take the detour, you'll get the full story behind this complicated, brilliant man and his unorthodox ideas.
Tesla HQ
Up until the end of 2021, this building was the headquarters of Tesla, the electric car company famous for stirring up the automotive industry for better or for worse. As you drive, you'll hear plenty more about its divisive leader, Elon Musk, as well as his other ventures, such as SpaceX.
Your tour concludes by the Stanford Visitor Center. Stanford is, in many ways, the engine which drives Silicon Valley by supplying it with a constant stream of young new talent.

The Latest on Workplace Violence Statistics
By Andrea Lebron
Updated 4/9/2019—The latest on workplace violence statistics 2018-2019 is that many businesses continue to under-report non-fatal injuries and illnesses. This under-reporting creates a misleading picture of violence in the workplace and - due to not acknowledging the issue - results in businesses failing to adequately protect employees.
In this blog, we'll cover:
Why is Violence at Work Under-reported?
How Violence at Work is Defined
The Most Dangerous Profession to Work in is Healthcare
Measures to Prevent Workplace Violence
Are Employers Failing to Prioritize Workplace Safety?
Workplace Violence Statistics Demographics
Reason for Workplace Violence
Workplace Violence Financial Data
Workplace Shootings, Active Shooters
In the 2015 edition of "Injury Facts", the National Safety Council raised concerns that non-fatal injuries and illnesses were being under-reported. The organization cited several Californian investigations that found discrepancies of up to 48% between the number of injuries reported and the number of worker's compensation claims, and a study in Washington State that found 90% of organizations surveyed were not complying with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reporting regulations.
OSHA has also raised concerns with regard to the latest workplace violence statistics. On its page dedicated to violence at work, the organization claims "Nearly 2 million American workers report having been victims of workplace violence each year," but fears "many more cases go unreported". OSHA's fears may well be justified. The number of reported non-fatal injuries and illnesses has failed to increase in subsequent years, implying that the practice of under-reporting continues to this day.
When considering the statistics on workplace violence, it's important to note that they, if anything, understates the problem because of under-reporting. There are various reasons why violence at work is under-reported. The Washington State study mentioned above concluded that businesses fail to report non-fatal injuries and illnesses due to a lack of awareness, a lack of communication and a lack of incentive. Due to the time it takes to complete Survey of Occupational Injury and Illness (SOII) reports, many businesses use whatever data is available at the time rather than implement an accurate data collection and reporting process.
However, around the same time as the National Safety Council was raising its concerns about under-reporting, Carol Fredrickson - a specialist in workplace conflict resolution - published her "7 Reasons Employees Don't Report Workplace Violence". The list relates exclusively to employee-on-employee violence, but concludes with a point exceptionally pertinent to the latest workplace violence statistics - many employees and employers do not understand how violence at work is defined.
Below are the latest workplace violence statistics broken down by incident demographics, reasons, financial burdens, and a closer look at active shooter statistics in the workplace.
According to the Workplace Violence Research Institute, workplace violence has two definitions. The first, the Institute claims, is one perpetrated by the media in which a disgruntled customer or employee takes a firearm to a place of work and shoots indiscriminately. Although an exaggerated example, this definition may explain why many employees and employers feel violence at work only occurs when an injury is sustained due to a physical attack.
The second definition is one more closely aligned to that provided by OSHA. The Administration's website states: "Workplace violence is any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the work site. It ranges from threats and verbal abuse to physical assaults and even homicide." According to the latest workplace violence statistics relating to fatal injuries, workplace homicides increased by 83 cases to 500 in 2016.
In 2016, the New England Journal of Medicine published a comprehensive review of "Workplace Violence against Health Care Workers in the United States". The review included data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing healthcare workers are nearly four times as likely to require time away from work as a result of violence as they are because of other types of injury (the most common being back injuries, needle stick injuries, exposure to blood and body fluid, and smoke inhalation).
The review also reported that, although employees in the healthcare and social assistance sectors account for 12.2% of the working population (and despite there being the potential for under-reporting in other industries), nearly 75% of workplace assaults occurred in a healthcare setting.
Among other recent workplace violence incidents:
80% of Emergency Medical Services personnel have been attacked by patients.
Homicide is the second leading cause of workplace death for home healthcare workers.
78% of Emergency Department physicians and 100% of Emergency Department nurses have experienced violence from patients within the last year.
The annual incidence of physical assault in a psychiatric setting is 70%.
Among nursing homes with dementia units, 59% of nursing aides reported being assaulted by patients weekly and 16% daily.
46% of nurses reported some form of workplace violence during their five most recent shifts.
Between 2000 and 2011, there were 154 shootings with injury either inside or on the grounds of American hospitals.
Among workplace shootings 2018-2019, it is worth noting that only four of the hospital shootings were included in the FBI's "Active Shooter Study" published in 2018. This is because the majority took place on hospital grounds, while those that took place inside an Emergency Department or on a ward were the result of the shooter removing a firearm from a security guard or law enforcement officer. This is another example of how the latest workplace violence statistics can create a misleading picture of violence in the workplace.
There are various measures that can be implemented to prevent workplace violence cases. The first is for employers to understand the OSHA definition of violence at work and implement policies that protect employees from the "threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the work site". Should these events occur, the policies must be enforced, sanctions applied, and the incidents included on the SOII reports.
In circumstances where employees are at risk from physical assault, employers should implement mechanisms that can quickly alert security personnel and emergency services to an act of violence. According to our "Trends in Corporate Security Report" approximately 25% of businesses are unprepared for an active shooter incident, meaning the incident is frequently over before police respond and arrive at the scene.
In our 2018-2019 Workplace Safety and Preparedness Report, 30% of respondents said they were unaware or unsure of their employers' Emergency Preparedness Plans for the most common types of workplace emergencies. Higher percentages reported that although Emergency Preparedness Plans existed for severe weather events, medical emergencies, and system outages/cyberattacks, the plans were rarely or never tested.
This doesn't necessarily imply employers are failing to prioritize workplace safety. It's more likely their efforts are being focused in the wrong areas due to regulations requiring events such as the periodic testing of fire alarms and fire drill procedures. However, it was particularly noted in the report that more than a third of female respondents were unaware of workplace violence emergency plans, despite workplace violence being the second leading cause of death for women in the workplace.
- Every year, nearly 2 million U.S. workers will become victims of workplace violence
- The healthcare industry makes up 9% of the U.S. workforce, yet healthcare professionals experience more workplace violence injuries than all other industries combined
- Out of all 7 possible causes of death at the workplace, homicides make up 9%
- The third leading cause of death for workers in the healthcare and professional services industries (education, law and media) is due to workplace violence
- More on education: 44% of teachers reported being physically attacked while at school within one year
- For women, workplace violence is the second leading cause of death while on the job
- In 2014, almost 16,000 workers experienced workplace violence and 69% were in the healthcare and social assistance industry
- 30,000 rape or sexual assaults occur to women at work each year
- As of 2013, 19% or most workplace violence injuries occurred in California and Texas
- There have been 150 employee-on-employee killings since 2010
- 2 out of 3 workplace homicides are committed by someone not close to the victim
- 21 percent of workplace homicide perpetrators are co-workers
- Robberies account for 85% of workplace violence deaths
- Employees with potential to commit workplace violence tend to exhibit 8 behaviors such as acting out of character or exhibiting addictive habits
- The two most common traits when it comes to those who commit white-collar workplace violence are narcissism and psychopathy
- $3 or more is saved for each dollar invested in workplace safety
- $121 billion annual losses are attributed to workplace assaults
- Domestic violence issues that are brought to the workplace cost nearly $727 million in lost productivity
- Workplace catastrophes such as violent incidents have caused publicly-traded companies to lose close to 8% in shareholder value
- Lawsuits associated with workplace violence cost companies an average of $500,000 for out-of-court settlements
- Out of all mass shootings since 1966, 27% occurred at workplaces
- In 2018, there have been at least 18 mass shootings involving four or more victims, except for the suspect
- 70% of all active shooter incidents are within a commerce/business or educational setting
- 96% of active shooters are lone males
- 40% of active shooter assailants commit suicide
- Approximately 25% of companies are unprepared for active shooter incidents
- In 2014 and 2015, police exchanged gun-fire with the assailant in 14 active shooter incidents
- In nearly half of active shooter incidents, police are unable to respond under 10 minutes
- Active shooters are nearly twice as likely to die if the shooting occurs in a factory or warehouse, compared to commercial settings
- The FBI has found 10 key behaviors in active shooter assailants, including a mental health history and the decision to choose to attack familiar places
- Copycat active shooter events often happen in clusters, with the risk of an active shooter in the workplace at its highest in the two weeks following a similar incident

The Flash 9th and Final Season Character Returns
Phil Weaver Follow on Twitter Send an email January 3, 2023
As you may or may not have heard, The CW's The Flash series will be entering it's 9th and final season this year. With the series being in it's final season, people have wondered what characters will or will not return.
Well, from a new article from Deadline, some familiar faces will be returning to the speedster series.
David Ramsey, an Arrowverse fan-favorite will be returning to once again portray John Diggle aka Spartan. While we do not know if this will involve the lackluster story his character has been on in multiple CW superhero shows, it is always nice to see David return.
Next up, someone we haven't seen in ages and the last time we saw was on Legends of Tomorrow. Keiynan Lonsdale will finally return to the series as Wally West aka Kid Flash. I hope we get an explanation of what he has been up to since leaving Legends of Tomorrow and why he hasn't been here to help Team Flash.
Sendhil Ramamurthy will guest star in episode 909 in the upcoming season returning as Ramsey Rosso aka Bloodwork, a villain we've previously been introduced to in a previous season.
Eric Wallace said this about David's return "As one of the legacy Arrowverse characters who helped start it all, John Diggle holds a special place in our hearts, as well as the fans. Plus, the commanding presence and commitment to excellence actor/director David Ramsey brings to the screen each and every time is truly inspiring. So, of course, it was a no-brainer to have Diggle join Team Flash in our final season! So, get ready for a very emotional reunion as John Diggle aka Spartan helps protect Central City alongside Team Flash one, last time."
He also said this about Keiynan Lonsdale "We're so happy to reunite with the incredibly talented Keiynan Lonsdale as a part of The Flash's final season. Because Kid Flash isn't just another speedster—he's a beloved part of our Team Flash family," said Wallace. "So as soon as we knew he was coming back, we set out to create a special and heartfelt story for his return. The result is a brilliant performance from Keiynan that showcases a side of Wally West you've never seen before."
Speaking about Ramsey aka Bloodwork Eric stated "Ever since Sendhil turned in such a brilliantly haunting and unforgettable performance as the tortured Ramsey Rosso in Season Six, we've been looking for a way to bring him back, We also knew we wanted to have Ramsey play a part in Flash's final race. Fortunately, everything came together, and now the villainous Bloodwork's return will set into motion one of the Flash's wildest and most emotional adventures yet."
Are you excited to see The Flash played by Grant Gustin run his final race?

Renovation of the Heat Generation System at the MTZ Heat Supplier for the Benešov Town

Scope of services:

Steam generating boilers in the existing steam plant, which were using fuel oil, underwent conversion to hot-water generating boilers and the oil was replaced by natural gas. Thus heat savings could be achieved and the SO2 and CO emissions dramatically reduced. At the same time, the costs incurred by heat generation were cut down since the natural gas is available at a more favourable price than fuel oil. Considering the current demand for heat that is supplied to the neighbouring apartments and business premises, installed capacity of the boiler house was reduced from 18.2MW to 10.5MW (three boilers, 3.5MW each).
The second phase of the project included installation of a new CHP unit by TEDOM having a heat generation capacity of 1757 kW and power generation capacity of 1560 MW into the existing heat exchanger plant. Utilization of natural gas for the combined heat and power generation has resulted into primary energy savings.
By installing two storage tanks, 80m3 each, heat demand during the summer season can be covered by the operation of the CHP unit only (basically, by utilizing waste heat).
Sales made by power generation improve financial performance of MTZ s.r.o. as the local heat supplier, who operates the facility, and allow them to consider reducing the prices for population.
As stated during the final building approval, noise and emission values measured during the operation have clearly shown that the assumed values lie beneath the limits and it is thus possible to close up the trial run and go over to the regular operation.

INIESTA: THE BEGINNINGS
Iniesta's first experiences with the first team
In the first part of this interview with Andrés Iniesta, we reminisce about his beginnings with Barça's first team. And those memories have a name and a place: Louis Van Gaal and Bruges.
He speaks fondly of the Dutch manager, as he was the one who handed him his professional debut with the first team. And it was in Bruges, during a Champions match, when said debut took place. Andrés also explains the reason behind his Champions debut and the feeling of playing for the first time in the biggest European competition.
Of course, Iniesta will talk about goals, like the first one he scored with the first team, and he will describe it with a wealth of detail…

Headteachers across England are becoming younger, with the number of female heads also increasing, data from the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) suggested today.
The body responsible for training teachers said since 2004 it had seen a 38 per cent rise in the number of teachers under 45 reaching the top.
There was also a 35 per cent surge in the number of women becoming secondary school heads in the past decade.
Women made up 70 per cent of the teaching workforce and filled 67 per cent of head and deputy head posts, the TDA said.
Existing figures showed that despite comprising 60 per cent of the British workforce, women occupied only one in eight (12.5 per cent) senior management positions in the top 100 British companies.
It said just under a third (30 per cent) of career-changers interested in becoming teachers already had previous management experience.
He added: 'More and more teachers are entering the profession with a wide range of career experience under their belts.
Train to Teach recruitment events will be held in London and Manchester over the coming weeks.

CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2019 Preview, Latest Odds & Bonuses
June 19, 2019 by Ryan Knuppel
The final major international soccer tournament to kickoff this summer will be the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations which takes place in Egypt.
This will be the 32nd edition of the tournament, but for the first time, it will be played in the summer and will be expanding to 24 teams.
The tournament was originally supposed to have been held in Cameroon, who are the defending champions but were stripped of their hosting duties due to serious delays and potential violence.
Here is a closer look at the top contenders in the tournament and our pick to win the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Africa Cup of Nations 2019: Team Analysis
Rankings are current (19/06/2019) FIFA World Ranks
Egypt (Ranked 58th)
Key Players: Mohamed Salah, Mohamed El Neny, Ahmed El Mohamady (c)
After a late switch, Egypt is now serving as hosts of the Africa Cup of Nations, helping make them the top favourites. It also doesn't hurt to have Mohamed Salah, who shared the Golden Boot in the English Premier League this past season and won Champions League with Liverpool.
The Egyptians also have plenty of European-based talent on their roster to serve as a strong supporting cast for a star like Salah.
Odds to win: 5.00
Senegal (Ranked 22nd)
Key Players: Sadio Mané (c), Idrissa Gueye, Cheikhou Kouyate
Much like Egypt, Senegal has a star in Sadio Mané who shared the Premier League Golden Boot and also won Champions League with Liverpool. Mane arguably had a better club season than Salah, so he's arguably the best player on the African continent right now.
Perhaps more importantly, Senegal's entire roster is based in Europe, so they have a talented squad. Also, everyone on the Lions of Teranga is under 30, meaning most players on their roster are in the prime of their career right now.
Ghana (Ranked 50th)
Key Players: Asamoah Gyan, Christian Atsu, Jordan Ayew
One could say that Ghana is on a downward trajectory after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. But they have some aging stars who are ready to make one last run at winning an African title, something the Black Stars haven't done since 1988.
Ghana has a good blend of talent and experience all over the field led by André Ayew (c). However, they have to find a way to put it all together over the next month.
Nigeria (Ranked 45th)
Key Players: John Obi Mikel (c), Wilfred Ndidi, Ahmed Musa
Nigeria is arguably the most consistent side in Africa and winners of three Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, most recently in 2013. The Super Eagles are actually a little under the radar heading into this year's tournament.
John Obi Mikel is still running the midfield with help from Wilfred Ndidi. But outside of Ahmed Musa, the Nigerians don't have many proven internationals on the attack, so finding goal scorers is their biggest question heading into the tournament.
Ivory Coast (Ranked 62nd)
Key Players: Serey Dié, Wilfried Bony, Wilfried Zaha
The glory days are over for the Elephants, but the Ivorians led by Serge Aurier (c) are still a threat if they can make it out of a difficult group.
Wilfried Zaha isn't a proven international striker just yet, but he's one of the most dangerous attacking players in the Premier League. He could very well have a breakout tournament, and if the back line holds up, the Ivory Coast could be a threat.
Odds to win: 11.00
Dark Horse: Mali (Ranked 62nd)
Key Players: Moussa Marega, Abdoulay Diaby, Molla Wagué
Mali could be a team to watch, as they are playing in a relatively easy group and have a surprising number of young, European-based players.
The Eagles are a little young and inexperienced, but Moussa Marega and Abdoulay Diaby give them a pair of goal scorers who could help lead them deep into the tournament.
Our Prediction
The Africa Cup of Nations is such a difficult tournament to predict. African football has so much parody that just about anything can happen, especially with the field expanding to 24 teams. The one constant has been Ghana, who has reached the semi-finals in six straight African Cup of Nations. They may be a little old, but the talent is there to make another deep run and finally come out on top.

Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, working with Danish researchers, have developed a novel anticancer drug designed to travel — undetected by normal cells — through the bloodstream until activated by specific cancer proteins. The drug, made from a weedlike plant, has been shown to destroy cancers and their direct blood supplies, acting like a "molecular grenade," and sparing healthy blood vessels and tissues.
In laboratory studies, researchers said they found that a three-day course of the drug, called G202, reduced the size of human prostate tumors grown in mice by an average of 50 percent within 30 days. In a direct comparison, G202 outperformed the chemotherapy drug docetaxel, reducing seven of nine human prostate tumors in mice by more than 50 percent in 21 days. Docetaxel reduced one of eight human prostate tumors in mice by more than 50 percent in the same time period.
In a report June 27 in the journal Science Translational Medicine, the researchers also reported that G202 produced at least 50 percent regression in models of human breast cancer, kidney cancer and bladder cancer.
Based on these results, Johns Hopkins physicians have performed a phase I clinical trial to assess safety of the drug and have thus far treated 29 patients with advanced cancer. In addition to Johns Hopkins, the University of Wisconsin and the University of Texas-San Antonio are participating in the trial. A phase II trial to test the drug in patients with prostate cancer and liver cancer is planned.
The drug G202 is chemically derived from a weed called Thapsia garganica that grows naturally in the Mediterranean region. The plant makes a product, dubbed thapsigargin, that since the time of ancient Greece has been known to be toxic to animals. In Arab caravans, the plant was known as the "death carrot" because it would kill camels if they ate it, the researchers noted.
By disassembling thapsigargin and chemically modifying it, the researchers created a form that Denmeade likens to a hand grenade with an intact pin. The drug can be injected and can travel through the bloodstream until it finds the site of cancer cells and hits a protein called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). PSMA is released by cells lining tumors of the prostate and other areas, and in effect "pulls the pin" on G202, releasing cell-killing agents into the tumor and the blood vessels that feed it, as well as to other cells in the vicinity. Specifically, G202 blocks the function of a protein called the SERCA pump, a housekeeping protein necessary for cell survival that keeps the level of calcium in the cell at the correct level, the researchers report.
"The exciting thing is that the cancer itself is activating its own demise," says senior study author John Isaacs, Ph.D., professor of oncology, urology, chemical and biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins.
Because the drug is targeted to the SERCA pump, which all cells need to stay alive, researchers say it will be difficult for tumor cells to become resistant to the drug, because they cannot stop making the protein.

Home » Articles » Marvelous Mahmoud Abd el Ghaffar: The Beginning of Al Wikalah!
In 1978, one of the members of my dance tour group wandered into the Haberdashery Shop (on Gawhar el Kayeed) and learned that it's young half-owner, Mahmoud Abd El Ghaffar, had some scarves that had a bit of beadwork on them and might possible be adaptable for stagewear, as well as mandils with coin earrings attached that could be used for folklore presentations. He was also willing to sell the coins and ornaments from the mandils separately. She thought this would be useful and called me over to meet him.
He was an honest young man, had fair, fixed prices and also sold some very useful canvas bags with Pharoanic designs cheaper than the other souks around. At that time, he was in partnership with Haga Nefisa, the widow of his partner, who'd died a year or two before.
A very hard-working, religious and astute young man, Mahmoud was very interested in the sort of group I had and what we'd be interested in buying. I explained what we were looking for and showed him the costumes I'd just had made at Mme. Abla's (Mme. Abla Ibrahim – the best bedleh/thobe beladi designer and maker in Cairo!) and the extra meters of fringe I'd had made and bought for repairs to other costumes I had at home in New York.
Mahmoud understood a good thing and a new direction when he saw it and started making scarves and dress panels with coins, beads and sequins and meters of beaded fringes in various lengths specifically for American (and later German and then other European) dance tour groups. I wrote about him and his shop and told everyone involved in Mideastern dance, who was going to Egypt about him and where his shop was.
Mahmoud worked over 16 hours a day: his sisters and Haga Nefisa and her daughters worked constantly, making the fringes and beaded scarves, etc. in her house in the zanquat behind the little shop. The shop had become so crowded, thanks to my advertising *and* many, many satisfied customers, that it had to expand into the apartment upstairs.
They prospered, but there were problems with Haga Nefisa's sons, who wanted a share but did none of the work (a typical story, no?!?).
In the meanwhile, he began hiring many, many fellaha and Nubi women to do piecework at home, to help feed their families with what they could earn, teaching them the very special sewing skills necessary and he also hired many professional costume seamstresses to make wonderfully beaded, sequinned and fringed bedlehs and thobe beladi. HIS shop became the one-stop shopping must for every dancer going to visit Cairo.
Now there are very many such businesses, of varying prices and degrees of quality. However, I still get a lot of my personal bedlaat and thobes custom-made by both Mme Abla and Mahmoud, because their standards and work are among the best in all of Egypt..
While Haga Nefisa''s Haberdshery shop did well for a while under the subsequent management of her sons, thanks to the basis laid by Mr. Abd el Ghaffar's very hard work, they had absolutely nothing to do with its inception or growth and now their business is down to almost nothing because they had neither the knowledge/ experience or the work ethic it required. I know this for a fact, because *I* was there at the beginning and am one of the main reasons that Mahmoud's business went the way it did!


As part of our series on Culinary Modernism, I'm republishing some older pieces of writing on the theme. This piece previously was published on 28 January 2014 in slightly different form. See also the companion piece: Contemporary Selective Breeding. Cow Edition.
In an effort to address the naivete and sentimentality that people have about agriculture, we continue our look at contemporary selective breeding. After looking at the state of the art of dairy cow breeding, I thought we'd take a look at some recent articles about the state of the art in non-GMO (conventional) plant breeding.

Of all the game day recipes I have posted to this blog over the years, I have never once posted a sliders recipe.... that is, until today. And I have no clue why it has taken me this long! I mean, sliders make the perfect football food. They fit in one hand leaving one hand free for making gestures of victory or disgust during the game. ;) You can pack a ton of flavor into these tiny burgers. And they are perfectly snack-sized so you that can save room for the other game day goodies being served like hot wings and chips & dip. That is game day food perfection in my books, folks.
You should be able to easily find the sesame oil, Sambal Oelek (ground fresh chili paste), & rice vinegar in the Asian foods section of your local grocery store. But if you have happen to have an Asian market nearby, you will definitely be able to find all of these ingredients there.
If you like a little extra kick of heat, top these flavorful burgers with a little chili sauce. It is like a kicked up version of ketchup that happens to pair perfectly with the flavors in these Asian sliders. Trust me- it is so good, you all.
You can easily double or triple this recipe to feed larger crowds for the big game.
Bring the water, vinegar, sugar, & salt to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Place the coleslaw mix into a bowl. Pour the boiling mixture over top and give a quick stir. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover & refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a large bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sambal Oelek, ginger, brown sugar, and salt & pepper until the sugar is dissolved. Add in the ground pork & mix the together with your hands until well incorporated.
Heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat in a cast iron skillet or grill pan. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out even amounts of the pork burger. Shape into little burgers and cook until cooked thoroughly, about 4-7 minutes per side depending on how thick you make your burgers.
Serve on Brioche or Hawaiian rolls topped with a little of the pickled slaw & chili sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.


This paper investigates the employment impacts of British Columbia's revenue-neutral carbon tax.
The Clean Economy Working Paper Series disseminates findings of ongoing environmental and clean economy work conducted by researchers from a range of disciplines including economics, public policy, political science, and law.
This paper investigates the employment impacts of British Columbia's revenue-neutral carbon tax. We develop a revised approach to implementing the synthetic control method to firm-level employment data, allowing us to estimate heterogeneous impacts across industries. We find that the employment effects vary across sectors, specifically small service firms see their employment increase, while employment of larger energy-intensive and trade-intensive manufacturing firms decreases. These results provide new evidence for the "job-shifting hypothesis" of the revenue neutral tax. Tax cuts increased the purchasing power of low-income households benefiting locally operating businesses (such as restaurants, massage or yoga studios) at the expense of the more internationally-exposed larger manufacturing firms. In contrast to previous papers, we find that the aggregate employment was unaffected by the BC policy.

The 2018 Global Competitiveness Index was released worldwide Tuesday evening. The report, which offers insights into economies' readiness for the future, evaluated the competitiveness of 140 economies through 98 indicators organised into 12 pillars.
Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and Spain tied as the four healthiest countries, based on the high health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) of their residents.
Below are the 15 least healthy countries, based off the report.
Jeff J Mitchell /GettyThe average life expectancy of people in South Africa is 53.8 years old.
Statistics South Africa released a report on the country's mortality and causes of death in 2016. That year, the most common cause of natural death in South Africa were tuberculosis, diabetes,heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases, and HIV.
Alexander Koerner / GettyThe average life expectancy in Mali is 53.7 years old.
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the most common cause of death in Mali is malaria, followed by lower respiratory infections and diarrheal diseases.
Spencer Platt / GettyThe average life expectancy in Burundi is 53.5 years old.
According to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Burundi lacks adequate infrastructure and human resources to tend to urgent health issues, like HIV and malnutrition.
Brent Stirton / GettyThe average life expectancy in the Democratic Republic of Congo is 53.1 years old.
The CDC reports that diarrheal diseases, lower respiratory infections, and malaria are the most common causes of death in Congo.
Pascal Parrot / GettyThe average life expectancy in Burkina Faso is 52.9 years old.
The most common causes of death in Burkina Faso are lower respiratory infections and malaria, according to the CDC.
Dan Kitwood / GettyThe average life expectancy in Guinea is 52.9 years old.
A 2014 report from the Pan African Medical Journal reports that the biggest barriers to improving health in Guinea include lack of trauma care facilities, poor medical training, and people being unreceptive to care.
Andrew Renneisen / GettyThe average life expectancy in Malawi is 52.7 years old.
According to the CDC, HIV and tuberculosis are the most common causes of death in Malawi.
Brent Stirton / GettyThe average life expectancy in Cameroon is 52.5 years old.
A 2014 report from the International Journal for Equity in Health assessed the challenges faced by the healthcare workers across Cameroon. The report found that the lack of health personnel and uneven distribution of caregivers across the country were the main issues. The country aims to achieve universal health coverage by 2035, which should help to increase life expectancy.
Pascal Le Segretain / GettyThe average life expectancy in Côte d'Ivorie is 52.2 years old.
USAID reports that Côte d'Ivoire has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS of any West African country. It is also the leading cause of death for men and the second largest cause of death among women.
Dan Kitwood / GettyThe average life expectancy in Zimbabwe is 52.1 years old.
The health issues in Zimbabwe are likely the result of sparse health care workers. According to the Global Health Workforce Alliance, there are 1.6 physicians and 7.2 nurses for every 10,000 people in the country, making it difficult for people to receive proper care.
Graeme Robertson / GettyThe average life expectancy in Mozambique is 52.1 years old.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that 30% of the country is not able to access health services. Additionally, the poverty and lack of nutrients result in multiple health issues across all ages and sexes.
Although life expectancy in Chad has increased over the past decade, there are still major health issues that plague the country, including diarrheal diseases, lower respiratory infections, and HIV/AIDS.
The main causes of death in Sierra Lione are malaria, lower respiratory infections, and malnutrition, according to the CDC.
Natalie Behring / GettyThe average life expectancy in Zambia is 51.5 years old.
There are several reasons for the health issues in Zambia. To start, a report from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) notes there is a high prevalence of communicable diseases – the most common being HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Secondly, there is minimal access to safe water and sanitation, which contributes to health issues.
Chris Jackson / GettyThe average life expectancy in Lesotho is 43.8 years old.
Deemed the unhealthiest country in the world, the CDC reports that the leading causes of death in Lesotho include HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular diseases, and diarrheal diseases.


It is a bizarre tale.
I was born outside of Kansas City in ARSH 1976. I dropped out of public high school after being skipped two grades because I feared for my safety and the "education" was a complete joke. I graduated from Kansas State University in ARSH 1997 with a degree in Animal Husbandry (beef cattle production) with an emphasis in Agricultural Economics. Again, the education wasn't much to write home about, especially the economics which was 105% Keynesian agitprop, but it served its purpose.
After graduating I immediately moved to Denver and became a commodity broker, specializing in cattle and grain hedging – PURE hedging, as in forward contracting actual cattle and actual grain for farmers and ranchers. I was NEVER a "money manager" or a so-called "hedge fund". I was a pure, old-school commercial agricultural hedge broker. In ARSH 2004 one of my clients, a salty and brilliant old-timer, trained me in the art of cash cattle marketing and cash market arbitrage, and I began teaching cattlemen this lost skillset. This was my most important professional achievement. I am a good teacher, and I loved teaching, and I especially loved being able to teach such good people as there are in the North American cattle industry.
In ARSH 2006 I opened my own Independent Introducing Brokerage, which consisted of just me – a one-man shop. It became very successful very quickly. I considered hiring other brokers and expanding, but never did. Thank God.
After years of reading and research, trying earnestly to disprove or discredit it, and despite the fact that the Kennedy family is Roman Catholic, I was received into the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church on April 7, ARSH 2007. As this was before Summorum Pontificum, I was unaware of the Latin Mass parish in Denver, and thus entered the Church in a Novus Ordo parish, through the "RCIA" program. Novus Ordo Masses, while illicit, are indeed (mostly) valid, and Our Lord is physically present therein. I know this for a metaphysical certitude. I am NOT a sedevacantist. It is precisely because the Novus Ordo Masses are valid that the sacrilege built into the Rite by Bugnini and the other infiltrators matters, and why the Novus Ordo Rite MUST be exterminated as quickly as possible. There will be no civilizational recovery so long as the Novus Ordo remains.
On April 3, ARSH 2011, after seeing Sen. Lindsey Graham advocate for Sharia Law and the punishing of American citizens who "disrespected" the islamic political system and its manifesto, the koran, I rebutted Graham's remarks and then burned a koran – bookmarked with raw bacon – and concluded by announcing my address and inviting all musloid and/or FEDGOV comers to come and get a piece of me.
My actions were … appreciated. The two videos went viral instantly and have been mirrored countless times. A translation and subtitling project was begun, and the videos were translated into at least ten languages. The Arabic version was done by Egyptian Copts, some of whom may already be martyrs, and is the most-viewed version with over 650,000 views, most of which were in Egypt. My Arabic-subtitled koran burning video stood instantly as proof of the lie of the 9/11/12 Benghazi attack motivation, as my video had hundreds of thousands more views in North Africa than the video that was lyingly blamed as the motivation.
Six months later, after having my reading audience skyrocket, I sounded the warning on commodity futures clearing house MF Global and publicly recommended that all MF Global clients get their money out on October 26th ARSH 2011, citing a parabolic increase in their bond yields and hearing anecdotal evidence of wire transfers and checks coming out of MF Global bouncing. I never imagined that what happened next could happen. I watched as it came to light that Jon Corzine had swept the MF Global customer accounts, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange cooperated in the theft and refused to fulfill its fiduciary duty and existential purpose and backstop the company, despite having over $8 billion in their emergency slush fund, which could have backstopped Corzine's $1.6 billion theft multiple times over. Even more unthinkable was the CME's freezing of the MF Global victims' accounts, refusing to even allow them to liquidate their positions – WHILE THE MARKETS CONTINUED TO TRADE FOR OVER A WEEK.
This made it perfectly clear that the financial markets as we had known them no longer existed. The Rule of Law was dead. There was no recourse or way to protect of defend oneself or one's clients from the brazen theft of the oligarchs. Contracts were worth less than the paper they were printed on. This was no longer a nation of laws, but a nation of men. On November 15th and 16th ARSH 2011, I contacted and systematically liquidated every account on my books. I could have sold my customer book to another broker for a small fortune, and this is the general "retirement plan" for commodity brokers. I could not do that. I could not simply throw my clients to the wolves while I lined my pockets and snuck out the back door. My priority was keeping them safe and making certain that what happened to the MF Global customers did NOT happen to my customers.
On November 17, ARSH 2011 I posted my "Going Galt" letter announcing publicly the closure of Barnhardt Capital Management. It was picked up and reposted in full by ZeroHedge.com within a matter of minutes, and quickly went on to be the 6th most-viewed story on ZeroHedge for 2011. Within 90 minutes, Rush Limbaugh was reading excerpts of my letter on the air. The next morning, Glenn Beck dedicated an entire segment to it on his radio program. I went uber-viral again, especially in the financial community.
Now partially "early retired", I continued to blog on various topics and subjects. I stopped paying federal taxes shortly thereafter and openly encourage others to likewise declare a tax strike. The IRS swept my normally drawn-down bank account on October 27, ARSH 2012 after having a settlement wire from a real estate sale catch their attention. Unable to provide a tax return for "bank compliance", my mortgage was foreclosed upon on December 28, ARSH 2012. Resolved and resigned to the fact that it was impossible for me to function in the now-overthrown United States of America, I commenced a total estate liquidation and vacated my home in the spring of ARSH 2013.
I will continue to educate and sound the warning via this website for as long as possible. I am living off of the dwindling remains of my estate liquidation. Being 38 years old, I will obviously need to find some way to earn money so that I can live. I aspire to janitorial work, but keep being told at every turn that I am overqualified, not meant for janitorial work and should be using my intellect to earn a living. Sadly, people of intellect and morality are disqualified and even attacked when society is under the control of a tyranny backed by the mob. Don't ask where all of the smart people are. Don't ask where all of the leaders of men are. We are sitting in the back, watching in silence, because the mob wants to be ruled by psychopaths and imbeciles. So long as that is the case, we cannot help you, even if we wanted to.
Despite all of this, I am happier than I have ever been in my life, and would change nothing. If none of these things had happened, if I was still sitting on a vast wealth and tremendous business success, I wouldn't be where I am today, and that is a truly intolerable thought. While it felt awful at the time, I now see and understand that it was all necessary to get me to where I am now. In the second chapter of the book of Joel, God promises to give back to us the years that are taken from us by "the locusts". He will, and He does. Hang in there.
And so I sit, and watch, and pray, trusting in God and His Mercy, imploring Him to make me His good girl, and to let me do some little bit of good, and never to be a burden on anyone.

ONE PUNCH MAN: The Strongest is available to pre-download now
The game officially releases tomorrow!
One Punch Man: The Strongest, the first authorized One Punch Man mobile game developed by Playcrab and published by Finger Fun Entertainment, is now available to pre-download! Pre-download of the game is available in Southeast Asia started at 12:00pm today, meaning players from Southeast Asia countries can download ONE PUNCH MAN: The Strongest from Google Play and App Store.
As of today, the number of pre-registered players has exceeded 4.5 million, and the game will officially be playable tomorrow, June 16. With the pre-download available today, we will finally find out who will win grand rewards. In case you missed, it, during the game's pre-registration phase, players who pre-register will get a chance to win an iPhone 11 Pro Max and Nintendo Switch.
In order to thank so many Southeast Asian players for their love and support for the ONE PUNCH MAN: The Strongest, Genos's CV cast Ishikawa Kaito sends his greeting video to all Southeast Asia players.
While the game will officially launch tomorrow, we got a chance to test out the game ahead of its full release. To start off, the game lets you take control of Saitama in a Story mode that faithfully follows the events of the anime. So as you can expect, Saitama only needs one punch to vanquish his foes!
Of course, being in control of Saitama will get boring if that's all there is to the game–thankfully, it's not. In fact, the Story mode is more of a reward that the game gives you from time to time; the main meat of the game is its quest mode. In this game mode, players take control of a selection of heroes that they are able to obtain such as Genos, Mumen Rider, and other heroes that should be familiar to One-Punch Man fans. Players will use these heroes against various enemies in a turn-based combat system.
The quest mode offers lots of tactical options for players, which is especially needed in boss fights. But for the most part, the game's early quests are not too difficult. In fact, there's even an option to have the game play itself with the auto mode. This is quite useful for mobile gamers who are busy but still want to play something on the side.
While the quest mode can be fairly relaxing, players looking for a challenge will be happy to know that these quests can be replayed in hard mode. In this mode, players likely won't make it by coasting through and using the auto battle feature. To get through hard mode, players must also improve their characters stats and abilities through the game's deep character customization system.
So how do you get new heroes? Through the game's gacha system of course! In this gacha, players can get various heroes. If you get lucky, you may just pull SSR characters like Tatsumaki, who are not only very popular, but are quite powerful indeed.
From what I've played of the game so far, I can say that One Punch Man: The Strongest is definitely a must-play for both One-Punch Man fans and gacha game fans. Not only does it have engaging combat, but it also has lots of deep and rewarding systems that I haven't even scratched the surface of. To top it all off, the game features scenes and clips that come straight from the anime, and it even features voice actors from the series!

Q: (Un)distorted subgroups in $\mathbb{F}_2 \times \mathbb{F}_2$ We consider the product of free groups $$\mathbb{F}_2 \times \mathbb{F}_2 = \langle a,b,c,d \mid [a,b]=[b,c]=[c,d]=[d,a]=1 \rangle.$$ Given some elements $g_1,\ldots,g_n \in \mathbb{F}_2 \times \mathbb{F}_2$, viewed as words over $\{a,b,c,d \}^{\pm 1}$, is there an algorithm to determine if the subgroup $\langle g_1, \ldots,g_n \rangle$ is undistorted (ie. the inclusion induces a quasi-isometric embedding)?
For instance, for an explicit example, is the subgroup $\langle a,b,cd \rangle$ undistorted?

A: Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be the projections of $H$ on both factors, and $I_1,I_2$ the intersections; then $P_1/I_1\simeq P_2/I_2$, call this group $Q$. Then

$H$ is undistorted in $\mathbf{F}_2\times\mathbf{F}_2$ if and only if $Q$ is word-hyperbolic

(it's due to Olshanskii and Sapir, see the discussion here). Since word-hyperbolicity is not decidable for finite presentations of 2-generator groups, it follows that the problem whether a subgroup given by inputting finitely generators is undistorted is undecidable. Precisely, if $P=\langle x,y\mid w_i(x,y):i\in I\rangle$ is a finite presentation defining a group $\Gamma_P$, consider the subgroup $H_P$ of $F_2\times F_2$ (where $F_2=\langle x,y\rangle$) generated by $(x,x)$, $(y,y)$, and $(w_i(x,y),1)$, $i\in I$. Then $H_P$ is undistorted iff $\Gamma_P$ is word-hyperbolic.
However it is quite a practical criterion. In the example you provide, using my notation you have the subgroup generated by $(x,1)$, $(1,x)$, $(y,y)$; it corresponds to the presentation $\langle x,y\mid x\rangle$ of the infinite cyclic group, which is definitely word-hyperbolic, and this is consistent with the fact you can check that your group is undistorted.


In celebration of the 12th MapleStory Anniversary, Niantic is going to launch a Burning Project which will help our players level a character up to Lv. 150.
Choose a new character for your account and it will have "Burning" effect. The special effect will make your character receive two additional levels each time it levels up. Notably, only one character on your account can have the "Burning" effect. If you delete the chosen character, you can select another character to have the effect.
Additionally, you can get some special gifts by selecting the quest '[12th Anniversary] 1+2 Level Up! Mega Burning Project!' from the star event notifier on the left side of the screen. The rewards contains Lv. 30 Equipment Box, Mysterious Cryptic Chest, Legendary Cryptic Chest and the Keep on Burning Title Coupon.
• The special "Burning" effect will be effective until Lv. 150.
• This event is open to characters in both Reboot and non-Reboot worlds.
• Pink Bean characters cannot participate.

Collection Online as of January 28, 2023
Ding Ware Bowl of the Xing Type with Bi-Disc Foot
China, Henan province, Gongxian kilns, Five dynasties
White stoneware with ivory-white glaze
Overall: 4.7 x 18.5 cm (1 7/8 x 7 5/16 in.)
Nancy F. and Joseph P. Keithley Collection Gift 2020.186
The bowl's foot-ring is shaped like a Neolithic bi,璧, a flat jade disc with a central circular hole, which had some ritual function.
An ivory-colored glaze covers this shallow bowl with a solid flat foot ring, revealing an almost pure white body. Bowls of this type and shape were used for drinking tea and were traded as far as Samarra (modern Iraq). Red tea consumed during the Tang dynasty (618–906) was believed to look best in pale green or white-glazed bowls. When white whisked powdered tea was introduced a century later during the Song dynasty (960–1279), tastes and aesthetics for tea ceramics changed and dark-glazed teabowls were preferred.

Масонский храм Лилля — это здание, состоящее из двух зданий, расположенных в Лилле, во французском департаменте Нор и регионе О-де-Франс, и является местом встреч масонской ложи «Свет Севера» Великого востока Франции. Здание также является штаб-квартирой Философского кружка метрополии Лилля.

История
Ложа «Свет Севера» была основана в 1893 году. Она избрала Шарля Дебиера, заведующего кафедрой анатомии на медицинском факультете Лилля, досточтимым мастером ложи в 1899 году. В 1910 году Дебиер решил вместе с другими масонами ложи купить помещение по адресу улица Тьер, 2 для строительства нового масонского храма. Здание, состоящее из двух смежных зданий, было приобретено компанией по недвижимости «Свет Севера». Дебиер поручил реконструкцию зданий архитектору Альберту Бэрту, также члену ложи. Храм был открыт 5 июля 1914 года.

Очень быстро храм пришлось покинуть, с приходом немецких оккупационных войск. Первый этаж был превращён в военную столовую.

Во время Второй мировой войны здание на улице Тьер также было захвачено, разграблено и разобрана вся мебель. В конце войны масоны попытались выкупить их обратно в аукционных залах, но не всё из имущества было найдено.

Здание, фасад и крыша на улице, а также храм Шарля Дебиера, расположенный на втором этаже здания, зарегистрированы как исторические памятники с 15 марта 1988 года.

Помещение ремонтировалось с 2008 по 2012 годы.

Архитектура
Фасад из красного кирпича имеет глухую верхнюю часть, украшенную геометрическим фризом. Внизу справа просматриваются элементы старого частного дома 1880 года, а слева четыре дорических колонны, которые опираются на голубой каменный постамент и поддерживают архитрав с пятью арками, образующими лоджию. В основании есть двери и окна, некоторые из которых находятся на уровне тротуара.

Лоджию увенчивает большой барельеф, на который наложен сфинкс (эмблема масонской тайны), пирамида (символ материи и её освобождения от возвышения духа), сияющее золотое солнце (символ света) и женщина (фигура, несущая ручное зеркало, которое символизирует свет севера).

Внутренний храм включает в себя на первом этаже бар и большую деревянную лестницу, ведущую к двум храмам: маленькому, который может вместить 60 человек; и большому, «Храму Шарля Дебиера», который может вместить до 120 человек.

Характерные элементы египетского стиля даже более заметны внутри, чем снаружи. Главный храм состоит из шести пар полукруглых колонн и лунного диска, увенчанного «хаторической» короной и поддерживаемого цветами лотоса, символизирующими Исиду, украшающими каждое дверное полотно. Подносы (небольшие «кабинеты» для офицеров) выполнены в виде миниатюрных храмов, четыре колонны обрамляют дверь, образующую фасад. Кресло президента венчает треугольный фронтон, который несёт крылатый диск, символизирующий египетского бога Гора.

Расположение
Здание находится по адресу — Лилль, улица Тьер, дом 2.
