Turkey and Russia Coordinate for the Move on Idlib- Moving Terrorists Eastward?
I'm not using the Janes lingo of Russia pressuring Turkey.
There is no need for "pressure" since Russia, Turkey and Iran have coordinated all this time via their Astana partnership.
Erdogan and Putin were in contact today and it's very likely Idlib was discussed along with the situation with the Turkish lira- I'm going to get to that asap. For now Idlib.
Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey have positively assessed the implementation of joint projects, in particular in the energy sector, the Kremlin press service said on Friday after their telephone conversation.
The presidents discussed the current state and prospects for further development of mutually beneficial trade and economic cooperation between the two countries," the Kremlin said. "They positively assessed the implementation of joint strategic projects, first of all, in the energy sector."
The two leaders also discussed a schedule for further contacts at various levels.
A source in the Turkish president's administration told journalists earlier that the two presidents had discussed latest development in Syria and settlement efforts in the Astana format.
Janes
1- IHS Markit data indicates that non-state armed groups that we have classified as 'jihadist opposition' have been contained by Turkey and its proxies in a pocket of control around Idlib.
2-Turkey is likely to yield to pressure from Russia, which effectively controls airspace over Idlib, to withdraw its observation posts from this area ahead of a major government operation.
Recall the observation posts featured in yesterday's article? How Russia, Turkey, and Iran are Going to Avoid a Battle for Idlib
Here they are again
Turkish outposts are situated just inside the provincial borders of Idlib. While Russian and Iranians are just outside of the borders. With Russia effectively controlling the airspace they are coordinating with the Turkish military, who are manning the outposts, to have them evacuate the outposts ahead of the Syrian offensive.
According to Janes- the Turks have contained the opposition in a pocket of Idlib. And with the tacit, more probably the active & helpful, approval of the Syrian government. The jihadists are going east. To territory occupied by Americans and PKK. Wagons ho!
3-Jihadists will probably seek to transfer to eastern Syria, with tacit acceptance if not active facilitation by the government, to increase pressure on the US-led coalition to leave Syria.
As I had stated yesterday in my post:
It's really much more beneficial for regional stability that the Astana partners work together to deal with the Idlib situation in a more measured, careful manner. That's my opinion. And to my mind it makes much more sense for the actual preservation of Syrian sovereignty.
I'd also left a comment regarding this situation at Syper's
that ended with this observation
"My hope is Idlib is cleared and returned to the Syria state- This will take much wind out of the PKK/US sails in the east. IMO Kurdish 'negotiations' with Damascus have been somewhat disingenuous. (Buying time)"
If the Russians, Iranians, Turks and Syrians coordinate to shift the terrorists out of Idlib and into the occupied east- It could encourage the US to give up the occupation. It will also give many of the mercs/terrorist/killers a way out of Syria via Iraq. From there they can head who knows where? Time will tell.
Update # 1: Russian-Turkish Coordination on Limited Idlib Battle
It is an unnamed source, but, in this case the reports fit everything I've covered the past couple of days
A Russian source told Asharq Al-Awsat Thursday that the expected visit of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to Ankara early next week comes in light of information about a possible agreement between concerned parties to facilitate the control of Syria's Idlib province without causing huge damages.
Despite a Syrian military preparation to start the battle of Idlib, the Russian source said, "There could be an agreement to facilitate the takeover of Idlib without causing immense damages."
"We expect a mixed military operation in Idlib that would reflect complex alliances," the source said in a sign that any agreement in the province would probably be a reproduction of the scenario of control implemented in the south of Syria, amid differences among rebels concerning the role of Jabhat al-Nusra.
He said that a large number of opposition fighters could join the Syrian Army and the Russians to confront al-Nusra and its allied forces. "We would witness an alliance of the fait accompli on the ground," the source explained.
Jan Egland UN Advisor said "The war cannot be allowed to go to Idlib. Idlib is a very special place, it is the place where people fled"
As was covered in yesterday's post; The UN Senior Advisor for Syria Jan Egeland says Russia, Turkey, and Iran told UN humanitarian meeting that they would do their utmost to avoid a battle for Idlib.

Totally cool that Penny for your thoughts has come up with an optimistic senario for the future of Idlib. So many of his past posts on Syria have been scarry forcasts of doom for the heroic righteous Syrian army and Nation. I hope and pray that the Syrian Army will retake Idlib with a minimum of USA British and UN and Israel opposition. It is amazng that Turkey is cooperating with any plan that has the Syrian Army making territorial gains in Idlib.
tom byers: "So many of his past posts on Syria have been scarry forcasts of doom"
Quite sure you've not read here or you wouldn't have made that statement!
"It is amazing that Turkey is cooperating with any plan that has the Syrian Army making territorial gains in Idlib. "
If you'd been reading along, for real, you'd be aware that Turkey has been cooperating for some time with Russia and Iran , in aid of Syria. Including, but not limited to the return of Aleppo..
I'd like to think that you've been a long term reader of what is actually been written here, but, clearly you are not
However, let's hope Idlib is returned to Syria!

Q: Подключения Google Play Service к проекту Unity3D. (Ошибка "authentication failed - developer error") Люди добрые, столкнулся с проблемой, которая застопорила меня уже как на неделю. Дело в общем вот какое : Решил я значиться подключить к игре Google Service. Вроде всё настроил, и все коды ввёл правильно. OAuth2 настроил.

Finasteride (marketed as Proscar, Propecia, Fincar, Finpecia, Finax, Finast, Finara, Finalo, Prosteride, Gefina, Finasterid IVAX) is an antiandrogen which acts by inhibiting type II 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is used as a treatment in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in low doses, and in prostate cancer in higher doses. Additionally, it is registered in many countries as a hair loss treatment for androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness).
In a 5-year study of men with mild to moderate hair loss, 48% of those treated with Finasteride 1mg experienced some regrowth of hair, and 42% had no further loss. Average hair count in the treatment group remained above baseline, and showed an increasing difference from hair count in the placebo group, for all five years of the study. Propecia is effective only for as long as it is taken; the hair gained or maintained is lost within 6-12 months of ceasing therapy. In clinical studies, Propecia, like minoxidil, was shown to work on both the crown area and the hairline, but is most successful in the crown area.
Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme, Type II 5 alpha-reductase, and in doing so it reduces the level of the hormone in the scalp which shortens the hair growth cycle and allows hairs to revert to a normal growth cycle. This can, in turn, stop hair loss and increase new hair growth in men with male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Continuous use once a day for 3-6 months is required before benefit is seen, and effects are reversed 6-12 months after treatment is discontinued so continuous use is recommended to sustain benefit.
When taken at the recommended dose, the possible side effects of Finasteride are usually mild and generally have not caused the men to stop taking the medicine.
Possible side effects that have been identified with Finasteride include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased volume of ejaculate, breast tenderness and enlargement; rashes, itching and swelling of the lips and face; and testicular pain. These are reversed after treatment is discontinued.
Some users, in an effort to save money, buy Proscar instead of Propecia, and split the Proscar pills to approximate the Propecia dosage. Doing so is generally considered unadvisable if women of pregnancy age are in the household; this is because finasteride, even in small concentrations, can cause birth defects in a developing male fetus. The birth defects involve the development of male genitalia (no such effects have been noted in developing female fetuses). On most product inserts, it will be mentioned that the dust or crumbs from broken Propecia tablets should be kept away from pregnant women.


Music! There is a power in music that reaches the soul. I know, that's not an original thought. But none the less, it is very true. However it's our choice whether the music is healing or depleting. At the moment I'm listening to "Mayberry" by Rascal Flatts. I Love a song with a story. I love it even more when I can relate to it's story. I have to consciously choose what music I listen to at different times in my life, month, week, day, hour. Music is that powerful for me. Now I'm listening to "This Everyday Love" again by Rascal Flatts. Now this is a song that puts words to my love and life with Leif. It's hard to find the words to explain a happy marriage sometimes. This song brings out the simplicity of the truth. Nice!
Okay, so my day... Well, we made it out the door this morning and Caleb only insisted on one clothes change before we walked into his school. Don't worry, I wouldn't put up with two... I don't think. Sometimes these days it's just easier to change the shirt, shorts, pants, socks, well you get the pictures. The fight can be more draining then the multiple changes. We're surviving though. Caleb loves school. He struggles with seperation anxiety a little more then normal which is hard. If I was feeling well I probably would give in and keep him home. But I know he is in a really good place and he would be miserable if he was at home. They take good care of him and I try to stay in touch with the teachers. Jakob is doing really well in school as well. I am personally thrilled by the fact that his homework load is light this year. This is a huge blessing for our family this year! He is able to finish it at the library after school while I pick up Caleb and update with his teachers. Then we can just have free family time until bedtime. Love It!!
My goals today were to take the van in for maintenance: Check! Load the dish washer: Check!
So now it's 10:20 and I really need to get to sleep. Leif and I dedicated and listened to a few love songs together for our "date night" tonight. We've been dedicating songs to each other and posting them on our "Love Letters Along the Way" blog. We've got a great list of songs that fit us just right so far. Leif worked on making them in to a CD for me today. I can't wait to listen to it and raise my boys to jam out to sappy love songs:) Especially when they tell them the story of their parents love for each other.
Speaking of Love, I can't believe I almost forgot to mention this!!: Guess what I got in the mail today!?
Do you remember this from one of my recent posts? YeP! My Love surprised me with this sweet clock today!:) It's hanging in our living room and Jakob's first comment was that it reminds him of our family (silly and wild.) I completely agree! Thank you My Love!!
Nice post. I so agree with the music. I have music playing most of the day. I have different kinds: clam music, music for cleaning too, happy music when I just need to sing and dance, and music for when I'm sad. Most of the time, the calm music is what I like to have playing.
I like your tracker. Could you have imagined, back in May, that would would make it this far? You've done great and each day that passes will take you closer to the end.
What colors are you thinking of painting your bedroom with? The owners of the house we are in right now has every room painted a different color. Most of them I don't like, but the downstairs living room is bright yellow and the Master bedroom is light blue. I like those. They are happy and calm.
That is so great that he got you the clock, what a sweet hubby!

I have sent a couple emails with my education information to the sales@jawset address and have not received a reply. I know we just came through the holidays and so I am not frustrated, but just want to make sure my information has been received?
Re: No response on educational license?
Sorry, your mails have been marked as junk. You should have a reply now.


Are you guest posting on blogs in your niche? You really should be. Guest posting provides tons of free traffic to your site. Well maybe if you value your time enough then it is not free. But for the time it takes to write a killer blog post you will have free traffic to your site. Simple as that.
I am a HUGE fan of guest posting and it is a priority in my master marketing plan and will continue to be until the Internet no longer exist…meaning it will always be something I do. I may not do it as often but I will.


Anyone deal with this before (ebay related)?
Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Soundblaster1, Aug 15, 2010.
I sold some things on ebay recently. A buyer BIN'd one, paid immediately, and all was well.
Until I did my "alright it's a few days later" package tracking. It's being returned to me.
So I asked the buyer what was up. He said "o yea i dont live tere any more send to XXXX YYYY ZZZZ"
I said "Fine, but I need funds to do that. Mistakes happen, so I'll split the cost with you."
Now he said he's not sending me any money outside ebay because he doesn't seem to realize that he's at fault.
So I said I'd refund the price of the item, but not the cost of shipping because I fulfilled my obligations- it's not my problem if he doesn't live where he said he lived any more. There's a valid tracking number and there's a confirmed address in paypal that matches where the tracking number was bounced back to me.
That's a hard one. The buyer "SHOULD HAVE" updated his address when he moved. Sounds like you did everything right and he was wrong. I'd have him pay you the shipping fees.
That is 100% his fault. As we all know, when you pay, paypal asks where to ship the items. If the guy was lazy and didn't change that, its his fault not yours. Why should you have to eat the shipping on something the buyer screwed up on?
That's what I told him, he doesn't understand that he's at fault.
How ignorant that dude is.
The bummer is that PayPal will probably side with him as a buyer. They tend to screw over sellers. I'd say call them and forward them copies of your communication (if you can), see what they recommend.
Yep, completely the buyers fault in this case.
I agree with this reconmendation...and add that you call paypal as soon as possible.
Dont let the buyer be the first to notify paypal that theres an issue.
I called Paypal and apparently now I'm getting a $10 credit from them.
All I did was ask what their policy was.
As long as you send the item to the address that is registered to the buyers paypal account, you are covered.
You would not have been covered by paypal if you sent the item to a different address, and the buyer opened an item not received dispute.
Reasons like this are why I don't leave positive feedback until the buyer gets the item and is happy, and any problems that may come up are resolved.
i don't understand why ebay sellers post positive feedback immediately after i PayPal something with BIN.
I don't send Feedback till i get the item and make sure there are no problems.
with your case, how are you supposed to know an addy is a dead one since Paypal or the buyer confirmed it? you can't be held responsible for it. glad it worked out for you.
I recently bought a shirt for my sister that lives two hours away on ebay. Paid via PayPal and forgot to add my sisters address on Paypal so it could be sent there. Sent the seller an email asking him to send it there instead. Never got a response. My thought was that if it came to me, I would send it to her at my cost because it was my mistake in not adding the address via Paypal in the first place. Turns out that he sent it to her so all was good. But I was prepared to pay for my own mistake.
They buyer should cover the shipping costs in your case. It was his mistake.
Buyer 100% at fault. You do not need to pay for that.

Aiming High: Stephanie Drescher
Champions of business women have been honored each year since 2001 by the prominent civil rights organization Legal Momentum with its Aiming High Award. Stephanie Drescher, global head, business development and investor relationship management at Apollo Global Management, is one of three honorees this year.
The seventeenth annual Legal Momentum Aiming High Awards were presented at a luncheon on June 15 in New York City.
In addition to Drescher, this year's award recipients are:
Brad S. Karp, chair, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, and winner of the Man of Distinction honor
Lisa Garcia Quiroz, senior vice president, president of the Time Warner Foundation, and chief diversity officer of Time Warner
Economics and psychology might seem like an unlikely academic pairing for a Barnard College undergrad, but it was a natural combination for Stephanie Drescher—and one that helped inform her career. By applying the analytical aspects of economics with an understanding of what drives collaborative work environments, she developed a keen sense of how to achieve optimal results within complex organizations.
Drescher has since distinguished herself as one of the most successful women in the global private equity industry. After spending the first 10 years of her career at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in a variety of roles, including serving on the boards of the firm's private equity and venture capital businesses, she joined Apollo Global Management in 2004, heading the firm's business development and investor relationship operations.
Founded in 1990, Apollo currently has $197 billion in assets under management, and Drescher has played an influential role in building the firm into the financial powerhouse it is today. Drescher recently reflected on her career and role as a mentor in a telephone interview.
How did mentorship position you for success in the financial sector?
Early on in my career, I saw many examples of women who were in leadership positions, and they were great role models for me. That was certainly one element of being able to see a path forward. Equally as important were men who throughout my career have served as mentors and sponsors. These people came to know me quite well and were crucial in helping guide me as I developed professionally.
One key piece of advice I received early on: think of yourself as the CEO of your own career and have a board of directors you can reach out to for advice as you encounter new challenges. That framework is one that I often share with others as they set out in their careers.
How does Apollo cultivate a collaborative atmosphere?
The first thing that comes to mind is our investment committee. Everyone is invited to contribute. If you are the most recent addition to the investment team, or you've been there since day one, everyone sits around one—now very big—table to discuss the investments. It's a very deliberate way to create an opportunity for everyone to learn from one another, and evaluate each opportunity from different perspectives.
I think it's a testament to the strength of our firm that we've been able to maintain such a productive, collaborative atmosphere even amid our tremendous growth. When I joined, we had fewer than 100 people and managed around $15 billion. Roll forward to today, and we're managing upwards of $200 billion with more than 1,000 people on staff. Our core culture remains the same, which enables us to deliver best-in-class performance to our global investor base.
In your experience, are investors pressing more on diversity and inclusion issues?
It's certainly a topic of increasing interest and conversation with our institutional investors. They have many choices as to where they invest their capital, and ultimately, they want to work with firms that are focused on doing their part in terms of diversity and inclusion.
How is Apollo working to fortify talent pipelines internally and in its portfolio companies?
We are proud of a number of initiatives that we started at Apollo. In 2014, we launched our veteran's initiative, which encourages Apollo and its portfolio companies to recruit, hire, and retain veterans and their spouses. That has been a great success.
We also recently launched the Apollo Women's Empowerment initiative, which I co-chair with our global head of credit. We have spent a great amount of time developing a steering committee with a number of initiatives to allow for development of our women networking, and engagement with industry groups, external leaders, and the community.
How do you serve as a mentor to young women?
It starts with a commitment to engage with the wider community, which is very important for all of us at the firm. A specific area of interest for me has been my involvement with the Young Women's Leadership Network. It's a group of all-girls schools in underserved communities that prepare their students for college. I think it's just another way of ensuring that as we rise in our own careers, we look to lift those around us by serving as mentors, sounding boards, and role models.

The Self-Help Compulsion: Searching for Advice in Modern Literature
Home » Arts & Humanities » Literary Criticism
Samuel Beckett as a guru for business executives? James Joyce as a guide to living a good life? The notion of notoriously experimental authors sharing a shelf with self-help books might seem far-fetched, yet a hidden history of rivalry, influence, and imitation links these two worlds. In The Self-Help Compulsion, Beth Blum reveals the profound entanglement of modern literature and commercial advice from the late nineteenth century to the present day.
Blum explores popular reading practices in which people turn to literature in search of practical advice alongside modern writers' rebukes of such instrumental purposes. As literary authors positioned themselves in opposition to people like Samuel Smiles and Dale Carnegie, readers turned to self-help for the promises of mobility, agency, and practical use that serious literature was reluctant to supply. Blum unearths a series of unlikely cases of the love-hate relationship between serious fiction and commercial advice, from Gustave Flaubert's mockery of early DIY culture to Dear Abby's cutting diagnoses of Nathanael West and from Virginia Woolf's ambivalent polemics against self-improvement to the ways that contemporary global authors such as Mohsin Hamid and Tash Aw explicitly draw on the self-help genre. She also traces the self-help industry's tendency to popularize, quote, and adapt literary wisdom and considers what it might have to teach today's university. Offering a new history of self-help's origins, appeal, and cultural and literary import around the world, this book reveals that self-help's most valuable secrets are not about getting rich or winning friends but about how and why people read.

My Aran doll's coat is nearly finished. I bound off the second button placket this morning. I have to say that knitting those plackets really helps the piece look better. They keep the front sides from curling up and they also pull the neckline down just enough to be pretty.
This coat looks so much better with the button plackets now.
My next task will be to pick up stitches around the neck, then figure out what cables to use. That's going to be tricky but fun to figure out. I am thinking there will be an oxox cable around the face, some fishnet panels and perhaps some Irish moss across the back.
This is what the coat looked like before I added the button plackets.
I haven't knitted a lot lately, but what I've done has been rewarding. I'm hoping to get a lot more done next week.
This sweater coat with the popular Saxon Cable was hand-knit in Ireland, the wearer said.

All thanks and acknowledgement to my pastor for this insight. I don't know about you, but for myself I typically don't look for much insight from the book of Leviticus. But this is clearly an exception.
In the synoptic gospels (Matthew 24:2, Mark 13:2, Luke 21:6) we have Jesus announcing to His disciples, and everyone within earshot on the Temple Mount, that all the stones of the Temple complex would be thrown down, and "not one stone left upon another".
Was this just a forecast of the future? Or was there something more profound in this pronouncement? Was there indeed something communicated in this message that all of the scribes and Pharisees in his gathering would have instantly recognized as significant beyond just the ravings of a trouble making holy man?
Well, indeed, it seems there was.
To understand the full gravity of this pronouncement, one would have had to have been completely conversant with the Pentateuch and its Mosaic Law, as surely the scribes and Pharisees among His hearers would have been.
Leviticus 14:33-47 (ESV) The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,  "When you come into the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put a case of leprous disease in a house in the land of your possession,  then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, 'There seems to me to be some case of disease in my house.'  Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes to examine the disease, lest all that is in the house be declared unclean. And afterward the priest shall go in to see the house.  And he shall examine the disease. And if the disease is in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish spots, and if it appears to be deeper than the surface,  then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house and shut up the house seven days.  And the priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the disease has spread in the walls of the house,  then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the disease and throw them into an unclean place outside the city.  And he shall have the inside of the house scraped all around, and the plaster that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city.  Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other plaster and plaster the house.
 "If the disease breaks out again in the house, after he has taken out the stones and scraped the house and plastered it,  then the priest shall go and look. And if the disease has spread in the house, it is a persistent leprous disease in the house; it is unclean.  And he shall break down the house, its stones and timber and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them out of the city to an unclean place.  Moreover, whoever enters the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening,  and whoever sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
These are the only verses in the Bible having to do with cleansing a structure, or ultimately destroying it because of uncleanness. So it is easy to see why these are precisely the verses that would have come to mind for the Jewish authorities who heard it.
The context of Jesus' statement is that He and his disciples some days ago entered the city – the same triumphal "Palm Sunday" entrance where He rode in on the foal of a donkey and people worshipped Him with "Hosannas", laying down palm fronds and their cloaks in His path into the gate of the city (Matthew 21). Upon entering the Temple, He finds and confronts the corruption of the sacrifice-selling merchants encamped within the Temple grounds, and drives them and the moneychangers out from the Temple precinct. For the few days following this "cleansing" He has been teaching, via parables, in the Temple, while being questioned throughout by the Sadducees and Pharisees listening to Him.
In response to this cynical questioning by the religious authorities, He finally chastises them for their hypocrisy (Matthew 23) and makes it clear that, for all of their deceitfulness and unrighteousness now, and as well, as representatives of their ancestors who murdered the prophets and righteous, the blood of those righteous is now on their hands, and they will pay the price.
Matthew 23:36 (ESV) Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
After this pronouncement, as they are leaving the temple, His disciples turn and point out to Him all the wonder of the Temple and its surrounding buildings. At this point, in surveying the grandeur of the scene, He makes His prophetic statement of judgment.
Here He has taken on the role of priest within the Law in Deuteronomy. The Priest has inspected the structure (along with the hearts of all those serving in it), after having given it more than ample time for its corruption (the murdering of prophets of God, even on the Temple grounds; making deceitful oaths; profiting from worshippers, etc.) to abate and be reformed. He finds the corruption has not abated, and therefore has found it to be permanently diseased — unclean — for which the action required by the Law is clear: tear it down and get rid of it – within this generation.
Most people understand Jesus' statements here as prophecy that was fulfilled by the 70AD destruction of the Temple, and all of Jerusalem, by Titus, and so credit Him. But few understand the origins of, or rationale for that prophetic judgement. Jesus was simply applying the Law and pronouncing God's righteous judgment on what had become a house permanently defiled with spiritual disease.
This was not just prophecy, but His judgment on the Jews for their failure to live righteously. When you understand this context, the whole scene becomes considerably more impactful and meaningful.


Mass Insight Global Partnerships – ViewPoint: Investing in the talent and innovation future of Mass.
ViewPoint: Investing in the talent and innovation future of Mass.
We are lucky to live in a region widely recognized for its leadership in economic development, driven by our intellectual capital and highly educated workforce. Massachusetts boasts five universities in the top rankings of research universities and over 110 institutions of higher education total, a fountain of new ideas and the talent to accomplish those ideas. We are acknowledged as a global innovation leader in life sciences, health care, IT, energy, defense technologies, finance and education. In life sciences, all 10 of the top biopharma companies have a significant R&D presence here.
None of this happened by accident. The investments made by the Mass. Life Sciences Center, started during the Romney administration and expanded under the Patrick administration, coupled with our unrivaled research capability, have been instrumental in creating this strong cluster. The nation-leading deployment of clean energy technologies, with leadership from the Mass Clean Energy Center and the Mass Technology Collaborative, is another great example.
Now we find ourselves at another critical moment in history. We have a wealth of talent attending our universities, but we struggle to keep them after graduation, and there continue to be disciplines where the demand far exceeds the supply. We need to follow four important principles: 1. Focus and set goals — assess where you can lead and select priorities and goals accordingly. 2. Talent — make higher education and schools, linked to industry, the unifying theme. 3. Regional alliances — organize strategies to connect assets. 4. Global partnerships — support an international strategy.
We have established leadership in the life sciences, clean energy, and other tech areas, including: cybersecurity, Big Data, advanced manufacturing and robotics. The state now should consider a focus on major technology opportunities that cut across multiple sectors. We have strengths in these cross-cutting technologies in both industry and the universities, but they are not organized enough yet to establish and maintain a leadership position.
How do we get there? Massachusetts can take the lead by investing in new "Research Centers of Excellence" that bring together its many assets in government, universities and industries to focus on challenges like cybersecurity and Big Data. The state needs to be the catalytic force by seeding the effort and having industry players support it thereafter, funding with a 1-to-3 ratio match of public-to-private or federal funds.
The investments and decisions we make in the next year will determine whether we continue to be the leaders in innovation challenges — as we are in the life sciences — or if we lose our nascent leadership position to other regions that are making investments that approach a billion dollars in these areas. Time will tell.

Chances are, if something sounds too good to be true, it is. That's just the way the world works. Even if everything works out with whatever it may be, something else will certainly come along and mar it. There are always strings attached, but they're usually hidden very well. And all this is worse than just some other poor occurrence, because it tags along. Example: a piece of poop on your carpet. It stinks, but you've got to buck up and deal with it the best you can. Then on the other hand, you're given a delicious slice of cake. You bite in, only to discover that it's poo flavored. See?
Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote or die because every vote counts. Maybe it would somewhere where everyone voted. Somewhere with more than two parties in power. But that's not here. Sure, there are swing states that flip between parties every few years. There your vote might count. But if you're a republican in California or New York? Good luck. Democrat in Alabama or Mississippi? Why bother? You really thought the Blue Wave could topple fifty plus straight years of Republican rule in a midterm election? Please. Each side will try to gain power every 6 to 8 years, and then it'll flip, repeat ad nauseum.
Let's talk about charity. That's right, it's the time of year for giving. Giving your money to CEOs and hoping they'll trickle down just a lil bit of it to sick kids, epileptic dogs, or whatever is the new hotness. Operating cost is the real charity. If you take 80 percent of the millions and millions of dollars people donate to you for cancer research and *don't* spend it on cancer research, you're not a charity. You're just a business. Regular businesses give to charity to write off some taxes every year anyways. Are those then charities? What percentage of your income needs to go to some good cause in order for you to be a charity? I say a bit more than 20 percent.
This week's forecast is grim. We've got a rogue mosh pit coming in from the south east at around 20 slams per hour. Now, there's a chance it could pick up speed due to the lack of security this year, and if that happens we could see it turn into a wall of death, and none of us want that, you remember the one that hit us in '04? So I urge all of you to stay away of it's path, even on the outskirts it can be real bothersome. There could be beer showers, strong winds, high speed debris, and even more. Of course I'm a weatherman, so take anything I take with a grain of salt.

'They murdered our zebra': Trainers slam German authorities for killing escaped animal
By Rachael Kennedy • last updated: 03/10/2019
Copyright AFP
Authorities in Germany have been accused of "murder" by the trainers of two zebras that escaped from a circus after officers decided to shoot one dead.
Safari, 4, and Pumba, 5, both escaped from their stables at the Circus Barlay near Tessin, northeast Germany, on Wednesday morning.
But while Safari was caught a short time later, Pumba disappeared — and went on to cause a traffic accident and "property damage", according to a local police statement.
There were no injuries reported in the crash.
Following several hours of searching and further failed attempts to bring the animal under control — including a damaged patrol car and and a police officer with minor injuries — authorities eventually shot and fatally wounded him.
The statement added: "As a result, the zebra died on the spot."
Pumba's trainers, Angelo Madel and his wife Carla Jenkins, told Euronews they are "devastated" by the outcome, adding that authorities had assured them that the zebra would be tranquilised.
They said that it wasn't until several circus members involved in the search asked how - when the zebra was shot - "he fell asleep so quickly", that they were told that live ammunition had in fact been used.
"Everybody burst into tears," Jenkins told Euronews. "We didn't know they wanted to shoot him. We would have done anything. Really anything to stop that man."
She added: "They murdered our zebra in the countryside despite no danger to humans or other creatures".
"We are devastated. It is such a big loss for our family. He was a really good animal."
Speaking to Die Welt, witness Petra Melchin said: "There was no danger...he was exhausted, his head was down."
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the city of Rostock was quoted in local media as saying a tranquiliser could not be used as the zebra had posed a threat.
Euronews has reached out to the local police and fire departments for comment.
Animal rights organisation PETA has also responded to the incident by calling for a ban to using animals in the circus.
"This should never have happened," the group wrote in a later statement on Facebook.

What actions are required to mitigate the impacts of coronavirus on the poorest and most vulnerable people?
We highlight three key areas of action needed to provide an effective global response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Written by Harpinder Collacott
No country can do this alone and an effective global response requires three fundamental areas of action.
The impact of the coronavirus pandemic is turning lives upside down across the world. In the midst of this, it is easy to forget about the poorest and least resilient people who will be hit hardest by this crisis − people who live below the poverty line, have limited access to healthcare and social safety nets, work in the informal sector, refugees and displaced populations. The worst is yet to come. As the virus spreads to poorer and more vulnerable populations ill-equipped to cope, whose governments may be unable to offer bailouts for workers and companies, inadequate water and sanitation systems mean that the disease will spread quickly − especially in urban slums − and under-resourced health systems will not be able to cope with the spike in demand. Borders are closing and countries are going into lockdown, but it's clear that the world must work together to mitigate the impact of this crisis, both in the short and the longer term.
1. We need a new financing system that brings together all countries to enable a universal response to crisis and its effects based on global public investment
It is increasingly clear that the financial impact of this crisis will be significant and long-lasting. The pandemic has slowed growth in all major economies, ambitions to end poverty by 2030 are under threat and never have we been so starkly reminded of the need to fight global challenges together. Current events have increased the urgency of designing new financial systems which will move us away from an outdated aid mindset and towards building new global, publicly-funded mechanisms which will be much more responsive to everyone's needs.
First, we need to mobilise emergency financing to support the poorest countries in responding to the immediate crisis. Second, we need to ensure that official development assistance is maintained and gets to the countries and people that need it the most. Third, we need to agree new mechanisms to mitigate the longer-term economic impact of this crisis governed by a global financial architecture that is fit for the future.
Countries urgently need to join forces to provide a global backstop that limits the long-term damage that this pandemic will cause. At a micro-level, crisis can bring out the worst in people as they look to self-preservation, yet it can also bring out the best in us as people rally round to help those in their communities who need support. At the macro-level this is our chance to reverse the isolationist trends we have been seeing over the last few years and champion collective action to build a safe and secure world for all. DI's blog series on GPI – featuring articles by Gail Hurley, Jonathan Glennie and myself − examines what the coronavirus pandemic teaches us about the need for a global response to crisis, and the role that international public financing can play.
2. A joined-up response among humanitarian, development and peace actors is imperative for responding effectively to this crisis and protecting those who are most vulnerable
Our own research on countries experiencing protracted crises has shown that after three consecutive years of crisis, the number of people in extreme poverty will be 10% higher than if no crisis had occurred. Those already afflicted by conflict or environmental crises will be among the least resilient, and the coronavirus pandemic will potentially prolong and deepen existing crises. Millions of people may require immediate life-saving interventions, swelling the numbers of vulnerable people and stretching already limited resources. Yet, I am hearing from colleagues that international humanitarian non-governmental organisations, who are normally among the first responders, are already seeing a drop in public donations – as they are at home. Travel bans and quarantine regulations will also affect the deployment of international staff.
Without connecting humanitarian, development and peace approaches, the impact of the unfolding crisis will be worse, we will see hard-won development gains reversed and people falling back into poverty. While humanitarian actors step up to tackle the immediate crisis, they shouldn't be left to handle the entire response − development actors must continue to support livelihoods and service delivery and work closely with humanitarians based on the comparative advantages their mandates offer.
3. To protect those most at risk, we need to know who and where they are – we cannot reach people who remain invisible, not counted by national civil registration and vital statistics systems
Data on people has never been so important. The most vulnerable people are the least likely to be counted and could miss out on the support they need. The impact of this crisis on their lives will be invisible, their deaths may go uncounted. This is not acceptable and will hamper management of the pandemic. The scale of this problem is vast. Around the world, one billion people cannot prove their legal identity. A quarter of children under the age of five (and half of children aged under five in the poorest 20% of households) have no form of birth registration. In many cases the deaths of the poorest people are not registered or, where they are, cause of death is often not recorded at all. Coronavirus could become a silent killer − hundreds of thousands of the poorest people could die without the world being able to account for their deaths.
Accurate and timely monitoring of all deaths is critical to understand the spread and the impact of the pandemic and to direct vital services to those most in need. A well-functioning civil registration system, which records every birth and every death, means that everyone is counted and policymakers can see the 'universe of need'. Relying on statistics drawn from household surveys alone will not equip governments to respond effectively and nor will we ever really know the global impact the of current crisis. We will be feeling the effects of inadequate data systems in the response to this crisis for years to come if we do not step up our game now.
The coming months will be difficult for everyone, but they will be hardest of all for those least able to cope. There are some fundamental areas of action that we need to see progress on if we are to ensure the impact of this crisis is effectively responded to. Global cooperation is what will get us through this and future global crises.

Q: Publishing an R package without defining the function argument I'm currently in the process of making a package for someone out of their code. While running cmdcheck on R to upload the package to CRAN I keeping running into the issue: Argument "ftab" is missing, with no default. Is there a way for the check to ignore this?
I have tried a few things such as setting ftab = NULL, I have set ftab = ftab<-rbind(c(20,10,20),c(15,15,20)), and ftab = NA.
chi.stat<-function(ftab)
{

  tot<-sum(ftab);
  expv<-outer(rowSums(ftab)/tot,  colSums(ftab)/tot, '*')*tot;
  signal<-(colMeans(expv)<eps)*(1:dim(ftab)[2]);
  indx<-setdiff(signal,0);
  ftemp<-((ftab-expv)^2/expv)
  chi.val<-ifelse(length(indx)==0, sum(ftemp), sum(ftemp[,-indx]));

  return(chi.val);
}

EDIT:
Could the issue be located somewhere in here?
#' chi.stat function
#'
#' This function... (description here)
#' @param ftab (argument here)
#' @return chi.val (return value)
#' @export
#' @examples
#' chi.stat()

I have tried to input default arguments in the example as well which sort of fixes the no default issue but creates some different issues. Additionally, I feel as though it shouldn't require a default argument but I am unsure. If needed I can post my other function that calls chi.stat().

A: It's due to your @examples section. Change the definition to something like:
#' chi.stat function
#'
#' This function... (description here)
#' @param ftab (argument here)
#' @param eps numeric, a tolerance factor; default 1e-9
#' @return chi.val (return value)
#' @export
#' @examples
#' \dontrun{
#' chi.stat()
#' }
chi.stat<-function(ftab, eps = 1e-9)
{

  tot<-sum(ftab);
  expv<-outer(rowSums(ftab)/tot,  colSums(ftab)/tot, '*')*tot;
  signal<-(colMeans(expv)<eps)*(1:dim(ftab)[2]);
  indx<-setdiff(signal,0);
  ftemp<-((ftab-expv)^2/expv)
  chi.val<-ifelse(length(indx)==0, sum(ftemp), sum(ftemp[,-indx]));

  return(chi.val);
}

to keep cmdcheck from attempting to run all code within the examples section. (I added a default eps in the function arguments to fix another issue. You can define as an in-function constant if you'd like.)
Better yet, build a proper ftab argument manually in the @examples section (and do not use \dontuse). It's a type of CI testing in that each time you cmdcheck and/or build the package, it will run all of that code and complain about errors.
#' chi.stat function
#'
#' This function... (description here)
#' @param ftab (argument here)
#' @param eps numeric, a tolerance factor; default 1e-9
#' @return chi.val (return value)
#' @export
#' @examples
#' m <- matrix(1:4, nrow = 2)
#' chi.stat(m)
#' # [1] 0.07936508

Whether you include output in your @examples section is a matter of personal preference. If you want further CI-testing, then do something like
#' @examples
#' m <- matrix(1:4, nrow = 2)
#' ret <- chi.stat(m)
#' stopifnot(abs(ret - 0.07936508) < 1e-9)

It may not replace full testing, but if you don't have a formal unit-testing (perhaps via testthat in the package's ./tests/testthat/ folder), then this is better than nothing.
NB: make sure the 0.079 number is actually correct based on your function requirements. That is, if you are implementing some known process/algorithm, take a previously known or hand-calculated/verified input and output.

Election 2015- Reason for Optimism for the Health Research Community?
Oct 26,2015July 26, 2021
By researchcanadaIn Blog
Canadians woke up Tuesday morning to a new reality – a majority Liberal Government. History has been made with the Liberals jumping from a distant third at the start of the campaign to now lead the country with an indisputably strong majority.
Election 2015 – A marathon campaign comes down to a sprint for the finish
The past weekend saw families gather for Thanksgiving dinner, or to watch fall football and baseball games – and inevitably talk about the election. Shared views of family and friends have played a role in past elections—particularly assisting undecided voters to make up their minds and we expect that this will be no different this time around.
The federal election campaign heads into the final stretch
Oct 05,2015September 15, 2021
While poll after poll shows that Canadians put health at the top of their priority list, they haven't made political leadership on health an electoral imperative at the federal level.
Research is the foundation for all we do
Sep 24,2015July 15, 2021
Among the most revolutionary changes to how health care services are delivered to patients is personalized medicine, where diagnostic testing provides genetic, molecular and cellular information that guides medical decisions tailored to the individual patient. Knowing your genetic make-up helps determine which medications are likely to be most effective, and that can save patients and the health system considerable time and trouble.
Midpoint in Campaign 2015: A Game of Inches
The campaign has just past the mid-point, but despite ads, photo ops, policy announcements and candidates knocking on doors, national polls still have the race in a three-way statistical tie.
Mental illness is the health issue of our time
When Canadians make health a top political priority, politicians will too
In a recent blog post, I discussed the concern of many in the health community that health has not emerged as a major campaign issue in Election 2015 and set out to explain why this is the case. Noting that health has not been a policy or political priority for years in Ottawa, I suggested that it is not surprising that health hasn't emerged as a top issue on the campaign trail.

The exhibition of Joan Miró serves as a stage for the celebration of the Catalan National Day in London
The delegation from the Generalitat in the United Kingdom commemorated the National Day at the Tate Modern London, where a major retrospective exhibition of the Catalan painter Joan Miró is currently on display.
London (ACN).- The delegation from the Generalitat in the United Kingdom held on Wednesday night a special event in commemoration of the National Day of Catalonia at the Tate Modern in London, where a major retrospective exhibition of the Catalan painter Joan Miró is currently on display. The works of the artist served as a stage for the celebration of the Day at the institution in London.
The event was a tribute to the National Day of Catalonia which is traditionally celebrated on the 11th of September. It marks the loss of Catalan independence during the war of Spanish Sucession in 1714. The delegate to the United Kingdom, Josep Suàrez, pointed out during his speech that, like the English following the recent riots, Catalans too recovered from hardships such as the one experienced in 1714 with hard work and resilience and will recover from the current economical crisis.
The Miró exhibition opened on the 14th April and will run until the 11th September. It features over 150 works including paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints by the artist. It is the first major exhibition of Miró in London for almost 50 years.
Amongst many internationally acclaimed artists to have originated from Catalonia, Miró\u2019s work held up as an example of Surrealist excellence. His art is deeply personal, often a celebration of his Catalan identity and an exploration of his anti- Franco political ideology. According to the Tate, Miró\u2019s work is particularly captivating as, \u201Cbehind the engaging innocence of his imagery, lies a profound concern for humanity and a sense of personal and national identity\u201D. As well as being artistically gifted Miró was often praised for his compassionate nature.
The event was attended by twenty international ambassadors, British MPs, Member of the House of Lords, businessmen, journalists and members of the Catalan community in London. In total, the event was attended by over 200 people

Some years ago Europe's leading operator and manager of toll motorways began a plan for adaptation of practically all the tunnels present in the motorway grid it manages.
The adaptation programme is financed by a series of long-term investment plans.
The technical and financial resources are assigned through a series of stages beginning with feasibility studies and ending with definition of a preliminary plan culminating in a final project and management of the resulting tender.
The customer commissioned the FINCONS GROUP to create a system to support management in monitoring long term plans for tunnel adaptation. The application was implemented using Artemis 7. This enable the creation of a strategic planning, scheduling and control system complete with executive dashboards in a very brief time frame.
In 2005 and 2006 the application was extended to monitoring other initiatives the customer had for integration with the ERP SAP system.


The ICON takes class and distills it into its purest form. This luxury chair sports a minimalist look, which combines with the unparalleled quality noblechairs prides itself on to create the ultimate way to sit.
Ergonomics always comes first with noblechairs. It has a streamlined shape that protects the natural shape of the spine, providing support even through extended periods of use. The cold foam upholstery is denser than average, causing it to be more resilient to wear without sacrificing an ounce of comfort.
Equally at home in a gaming setup or a CEO's office, the ICON embodies the mantra that "less is more". Each ICON is also equipped with a number of customization options to allow you to enjoy whichever position suits you best.
Free head and lumbar pillows are included. The ICON is available in numerous color variants, and a choice of either real or PU leather covering.
A subtly debossed logo of the timeless noblechairs crown adorns the headrest, closely accompanied by our company logo which shines brilliantly on an aluminum emblem on the backrest. Every seat is finished with gorgeous diamond pattern stitching to further heighten the sense of exclusivity.
Every slice of perfection needs a strong foundation. We utilize incredibly tough, light aluminum to create a stable platform for noblechairs to rest on. Our bases are incredibly resistant to corrosion and rust of any sort, and thanks to the design choices we've made they have the capability to support body weights of up to 150kg with ease, even while reclining backwards.
