Ruby and Roddy headed to London to pick up the HECK award win for 'Brand Identity' in the 2016 Pig & Poultry Marketing Awards.
After a visit to the London Marriott County Hall on 28 April, HECK scooped a prestigious industry award and brought back the trophy for Best Brand Identity Campaign in recognition of our innovative packaging, product recipes and marketing.
Ruby and Roddy represented the team and travelled down for the day to rub shoulders with key industry figures in food and farming, and a host of other top food producers. A fantastic day of celebration across the pig and poultry industry brought together representatives from every sector of the food chain and HECK was chuffed to walk away with this top award. Needless to say we are as pleased as punch. We'll keep you posted if we manage to bring home anymore silverware to add to the collection!


THE rand was firmer against the dollar on Wednesday afternoon following the release of positive consumer inflation data.
Risk factors favoured the rand on the day' including the resignation of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe late on Tuesday and the expected return of vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa to the country on Thursday. He will be sworn in as interim president on Friday.
The rand reached R13.8627 to the dollar in intra-day trade' the best level in nearly a month.
The dollar was largely unchanged to the euro' ahead of the release of US Federal Reserve minutes at 9pm SA-time. The minutes will give an indication of how Fed members view a probable interest-rate increase in December' and further hikes in 2018.
"The minutes were likely to further boost markets' already high expectations of a December rate hike'" analysts at BlackRock said.
At 3pm the rand was at R13.8922 to the dollar from R13.9706' at R16.3171 to the euro from R16.3985 and R18.3638 to the pound from R18.4954.
The euro was at $1.1745 from $1.1737.
The consumer price index (CPI) for October rose 4.8% year on year' in line with market expectations' from 5.1% in the previous month. However' core inflation was slightly lower than expected' at 4.5% compared with a Trading Economics forecast of 4.6%.
Average inflation is likely to remain just below the top end of the Reserve Bank's targeted 3%-6% over the next few years.
Investec economists have forecasted CPI inflation to rise to an annual 5.7% and 5.8% for 2018 and 2019 respectively from 5.3% in 2017 on a strengthening global cycle' a further lift in commodity prices and higher local administered tariffs.
"In tomorrow's monetary policy statement the Reserve Bank is likely to reiterate that the balance of risk to inflation remained to the upside' mainly on the volatile rand'" said Investec economist Kamilla Kaplan.

"High court won't take up Illinois law barring recording of police in public" @ Chicago Tribune
Jason Meisner — November 27, 2012: "The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal of a controversial Illinois law prohibiting people from recording police officers on the job.
By passing on the issue, the justices left in place a federal appeals court ruling that found that the state's anti-eavesdropping law violates free-speech rights when used against people who audiotape police officers.
A temporary injunction issued after that June ruling effectively bars Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez from prosecuting anyone under the current statute. On Monday, the American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the lawsuit against Alvarez, asked a federal judge hearing the case to make the injunction permanent, said Harvey Grossman, legal director of the ACLU of Illinois……………….."

Coronary atherosclerosis is a diffuse vascular process and a life-long disease where optimal medical therapy is the foundation for all patients with CAD. Primary PCI is the preferred therapy in STEMI and early angiography, followed by revascularization, the preferred therapy in NSTEACS. In stable ischemic heart disease, therapy must be individualized for each patient whether PCI, CABG or an initial MT approach is chosen.

In the early hours of the morning, while the sea is clear, smugglers in Libya send off boats full of migrants that reach international waters by about 08:00.
Photographer Marcus Drinkwater spent a month onboard the Golfo Azzurro, a vessel that intercepts these boats and takes their passengers safely on board.
Beginning with a desire to give a sense of individuality to these migrants, Drinkwater took a series of posed portraits of the men rescued by the Golfo Azzurro.
Inspired by the work of Malian photographer Seydou Keita, who would often photograph his subjects against heavily patterned backgrounds, Drinkwater gave his subjects a choice of backdrop to stand against.
The different patterns, which doubled up as blankets to keep the migrants warm at night, were then hung on a railing on the ship's deck, with cable ties.
While music played, the men lined up and waited to have their portraits taken.
Each subject chose his own background and posed for the portrait as they wished.
One 17-year-old Nigerian named Julias had travelled with a friend for more than six months to reach Sabratha on the Libyan Coast.
Both boys were beaten daily and forced into disused warehouses without sanitation or clean water until their time on a migrant boat had come.
"If you are unfortunate enough to not have enough money, smugglers would get you to call your parents to ask for more," he said.

An historic first will occur when Brady Hooley and Dulanga Ranasinghe step on the University of New Brunswick campus for the upcoming fall semester. The two are the inaugural recipients of the Schulich Leader Scholarships at UNB.
The Schulich Leader Scholarships recognize students across Canada who demonstrate excellence in academics and community leadership and who plan on studying one of the STEM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics during their undergraduate years. The scholarships are valued at $60,000 apiece for a four-year term.
Both Brady and Dulanga are deserving recipients, said UNB President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Eddy Campbell.
Dulanga graduated among the top students from James M. Hill Memorial High School in Miramichi. While she demonstrated a strong commitment to her studies, Dulanga was also busy outside the classroom. She was treasurer of the Student Council and Interact Club; leader of the Christmas Family Committee and a member of the Reach for the Top team. Dulanga was also part of the cross-country team and volunteered her time in the community at both the local hospital and library.
Brady was also near the top of his graduating class at Harbour View High School in Saint John where he was chosen by his school to attend the annual Homelessness Education Learning Party where students from across the city gathered to discuss issues surrounding youth homelessness. Their efforts helped convince the city to build a youth shelter. Brady has also been involved with the planning committee for Global Youth Service Day, an initiative that recognizes the positive things youth of the world do for their communities.
Schulich Leader Scholarships were created by Canadian business leader and philanthropist Seymour Schulich. The historic $100 million scholarship initiative was implemented to secure the future economic competitiveness of Canada. It's designed to ensure that future Canadian leaders are among the next pioneers of global scientific research and innovation. UNB is one of 20 Canadian Universities that are part of the program.
Every high school, secondary school and CEGEP in Quebec could nominate one student who would be eligible to receive the Schulich Leader Scholarship. There were 977 nominees for the inaugural 40 scholarships in Canada. The Schulich Leader Scholarships program is also being run in Israel.
"We're honoured to be one of the universities involved in this scholarship program and to be associated with Seymour Schulich," Campbell said. "The Schulich Leader Scholarships will no doubt be one of our most valuable undergraduate scholarships and will help us compete with other top-tier universities in attracting top students like Dulanga and Brady to UNB."


BlueConic customers can use firehose connections to stream profiles and event data to cloud-based systems including Amazon Kinesis, Google Cloud Pub/Sub, and Microsoft Azure Event Hubs. When you set up a connection, you establish streaming goals that specify the events and data to stream from BlueConic.
Message sent through the firehose: You'll notice the profile property IDs sent are 'lastvisitdate' and 'email' for the changed visitor profile. Because the Export segments box is checked, the two segments that the visitor belongs to are sent as well.
"name":"Visitors with an email address"
In this example, we want to send firehose messages when dialogue clicks occur, and send full profile properties, the name of the dialogue clicked, and dialogue variants.
Sample message: Note: we removed the full list of profile properties for brevity.
It can be valuable to analyze customer conversion events by examining messages -- which dialogues did a customer see or click before the conversion happened?
Sample message: In this example, BlueConic sends the dialogue that 'won' the conversion (Content Meter ONE), as well as the two dialogue variants that 'lost' the conversion (which are placed in the "otherCandidates" section of the message). The dialogues that lost the conversion have a 'last viewed' or 'last clicked' moment that is older for this profile compared to the winning dialogue.
BlueConic allows you to trigger custom events that pick up on user behavior or changes. For example, if a visitor puts an item in a shopping cart or signs up for a newsletter, a custom event can be triggered. You can stream these events to the firehose by selecting the events you want to stream (all custom events or selected ones).
Sample message: In this message, the custom event measures the customer's exit intent. The message also sends dialogue variants that were shown to this customer after the custom event occurred.
Note: With the potential for passing large amounts of data to the firehose, you'll want to monitor your firehose traffic data.

Colorado's school funding debate raged on in 2016. Here's how.
School funding is the perennial school policy debate in Colorado.
Dec. 23, 2016, 7:36 a.m.
Jefferson Junior-Senior High School Principal Michael James. (Nicholas Garcia/Chalkbeat)
By Nicholas Garcia, Chalkbeat
During elections and legislative sessions, year in and year out, the state grapples with decisions over how much money schools need and what they actually get.
This year, lawmakers staved off growing the state's education funding shortfall, known as the negative factor. It's currently sitting at about $831 million — meaning that's how much more money schools are owed but aren't given because the state doesn't have the revenue.
But those same lawmakers failed to find a compromise on charter school funding. Despite bipartisan support in the state Senate, the General Assembly failed to pass a law that would have required local school districts to share local tax increases, known as mill levy overrides, with their charter schools. Now, one of the bill's sponsors has pledged to bring the issue up again.
After the session, advocates for more school funding went to work on a ballot question that would have sent more money to public schools. But their hearts were broken when the Colorado Priorities campaign — which also would have funded roads, health care and other services — came to a sudden halt.
In response, a coalition led by Great Education Colorado, a nonprofit that advocates for school funding, sent a letter to lawmakers and Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, asking they come up with a funding solution in January.
The nonprofit also began gathering members of the education community and others to discuss a potential ballot initiative in 2018.
Meanwhile, school districts across the state asked voters for a record number of local tax increases to fund programs like teacher training and to build new schools. About two-thirds of those requests passed, including those in Denver, Aurora and Mapleton. Voters in Jefferson County, however, rejected their district's request. That meant upgrades at one high school that serves mostly Latino students is being put on pause — again.
Some in the education community worry that local school districts relying on mill overrides to make up for the state's funding shortfall is causing greater inequities across school districts. Some districts, like those in Greeley and Pueblo, have never passed a local tax increase.
One other potential driver in funding inequity Chalkbeat looked at in 2016: school fundraisers. Fundraising at individual schools has always been uneven, depending on the socioeconomic status of each school's population. But observers believe it's gotten worse in recent years as cuts have forced more expenses onto the shoulders of Colorado parents.
Next year's funding debate is already underway. Hickenlooper's proposed budget called for a slight increase in school funding, but it's not nearly enough to keep up with what's required by the state law and the Constitution. That means the school funding shortfall will likely increase.
But whether schools actually get more money next year was in doubt after a December forecast projected the state would need to make more cuts than Hickenlooper's original budget anticipated.

I recommend this store because even though there were issues, they quickly resolved it. I am impressed with their service.
I am very happy with the quality of the product. Fast shipping.
very fast delivery. very good product qualuty.
Just the average silicone case. The corners are bigger for protection, the front surface is a bit raised so the screen doesn't touch the table. However, the edges (of the corners) are too sharp and they lifted my hydrogel film protector, I had to grind them to make them thinner. The worst part is that the case sticks to the back of the phone in some areas and it looks bad.
Good Quality and Fast Shipment. Fix well and edge is well protected.
Ik heb twee van deze hoesjes voor mijn Samsung S8 gekocht, ze kwamen met de premium pakket service (iets duurder maar helemaal te volgen, inclusief PostNL) in 14 dagen naar Nederland. De vingerafdruk scanner is goed te gebruiken wat een plus is, daarom koos ik hiervoor. En de hoeken hebben grote Bescherm bumpers die ook herhoogd zijn bij het scherm. Omdat de siliconen hoesjes na een tijdje geel uitslaan heb ik gekozen voor 'smoke', (zwart). Ik ben zeer tevreden met deze hoesjes! TOP!
Excelente, rapida y de muy buena calidad, recomendado.
He tenido otra funda similar, y me daba un problema con ciertos cables un poco mas anchos, que no podía cargar el teléfono bien, ya que no entraban. Esta funda tiene los agujeros bien hechos y puedo cargar mi note 8 sin problemas.
Cheap and good, very fast shipping. About 10 days.
Everything is good!! . Polecam dobrze dopasowane.
Доставка в срок. Упакован лимитировано. Качество самого чехла неплохое.
Охренеено смотриться на телефоне, брал жене на Самсунг ноут 8 золотистый. Сел на телефон идеально, но теперь не одно стекло защитное не подходит чехол плотно прилегает по краям и задирает стекло.(( заказал плёнку посмотрим как она будет держаться.
Funda exacta a la imagen. Acopla perfectamente en el móvil, respetado los huecos para cargador, altavoz, lapicero..y las teclas laterales. Color transparente, no huele a silicona. Y llegó aprox en 10 días.
Very fast service from store. Happy with product. As described.
Queda perfecta para un S8.
Tal cual a lo descrito, en el note 8 calza perfecto.
consider good with the price.

Q: Conceptually, is subclassing UIView correct? (I'm not saying it isn't, this is more of me asking in order to make sure I'm properly implementing object-oriented principles.)
Say I want to create a UIView with a UIImageView in it and a UILabel below the UIImageView captioning it.
In an iOS app, what would be the best way to reuse this UIView setup if I wanted to have it in multiple parts of my app?
It seems a lot of tutorials I read indicate to subclass UIView, and in one of the init methods create the subviews and then add them to self, and voila, just create new instances of this UIView subclass and you have a reusable implementation.
But is this "image with caption" concept make sense to be a subclass of UIView? I understand subclassing and inheritance to be something like you have a superclass called Vehicle, and you create a subclass of it called Truck. If you look at it, "Truck" is a "Vehicle" which is how I've understood inheritance.
Does

"image with caption" is a "view"

make conceptual sense in inheritance? I know many would say "Of course it is!" but I'm just looking at it and thinking that it's not exactly a derivation or a customization of the superclass, but an amalgamation of some other ones.
If I'm creating something like that, I'm almost thinking I want a reusable customized instance of UIView, more so than a subclass of UIView but maybe I'm applying too sharp a definition of subclassing.
What if I just wanted a bunch of red UIButtons with a special font for the label that I could reuse? Is that really a use for subclassing?
Is subclassing the best option? Or maybe creating it from a nib and importing it with code would be better?

A: Subclassing it is a perfectly fine option. You need to remember that UILabel and UIImageView are in fact subclasses of UIView. In fact, everything in UIKit is derived from UIView. The whole point of subclassing is to customize your objects. That is definitely a great way to go about this.

A: If you need to reuse only views + layout using nib/xib file could be sufficient.
If you want some parameters and actions it could be better to subclass.

A:
If I'm creating something like that, I'm almost thinking I want a reusable customized instance of UIView, more so than a subclass of UIView but maybe I'm applying too sharp a definition of subclassing.

You're thinking of prototyping, and that's a reasonable way to design object-oriented systems. Self is the canonical example, but JavaScript is probably the most famous. Objective-C doesn't generally use prototyping. (Except that it uses it for views quiet a lot actually, almost exactly how you're describing it... more in a second.)
You're very correct to think about classes in terms of aggregation first and only moving to inheritance later. In many cases it's more natural to create a UIViewController subclass that configures a stock UIView. But sometimes that's unwieldy. Again, I'd look to the UIKit examples for guidance on what makes sense in a UIView subclass, and what doesn't. It rarely makes sense, though, to subclass a subclass of UIView. Deep object hierarchies are not common in (good) ObjC. It is better to move the complexity into controllers and delegation.
But I said that UIView uses prototypes a lot. And it does. They're called nib files. A nib file is nothing but a bunch of serialized prototypes that are cloned into your system (most of the time these are views, but they can actually be anything). And there's nothing wrong with configuring your complex views in Interface Builder and then instantiating them yourself with UINib. I've done that myself rather than creating complicated UIView subclasses.
And every so often, it does make sense to clone an existing, pre-configured view prototype, and I've done it in a couple of cases (particularly when the user has configured the view somehow). You can do that using NSCoding (you serialize the view to data, and then deserialize it back into a view). But this is not the common approach.
All that said, for your specific case of a captioned image view, I'd almost certainly build it as a UIView subclass personally.

A: For your use-case it seems that you have a good idea and seems the sensible option to have another view. DDDImageCaptionView
Make sure you have a good model, view and controller separation to ensure you are not using the view to store data, the view should be dumb and display what its told.

Please Note, this is not for In-App server to server integrations. Please contact us if you have any questions around what integration is best for you.
Use the http://ads.mydas.mobi/getAd? endpoint to make a GET request to Millennial Media's servers.
It is recommended to set a socket timeout of 500ms to safeguard in case there are any connectivity issues.
The key to incorporating relevant ads into your site is providing Millennial Media with key values that help identify the device, carrier and country.
Each of the parameters listed below is critical to serving ads correctly.
APID The Ad Placement ID.
AUID The Unique Identifier for the device.
UIP The User's Public IP Address.
This value is a unique identifier provided by Millennial Media that needs to be included in every request to provide site metrics back to the Publisher. Without the Placement ID, you will not receive any ad units.
You must register your site in mMedia in order to receive an APID. When you register your site, leave the integration code page open to find your AUID.
This value is used to uniquely identify a user when requesting an ad. This is used for frequency capping and other types of reach analytics needed by many advertisers.
You can locate the AUID in the integration code. Query HTTP headers for the SUBNO, XID, CLIENTID, or REMOTE ADDRESS of the handset. We utilize case statements within our code to obtain the best possible value for a unique identifier of the user.
If you don't have the integration code, obtain the AUID by reviewing the placement code in mMedia under Manage Apps.
This value is the UA string of the device browser used to determine the handset making the request. Having the UA enables us to determine certain device characteristics in order to provide the correct ad unit for the request.
In order to determine the UA string of the device browser, we utilize the HTTP_USER_AGENT HTTP header to insert the proper UA string into the ad request.
Note: If you have an internal server in between the handset and this server, you will need to forward the proper UA string into the ad call.
This value is the Public IP address of the device requesting the ad unit, and we use the UIP to identify the country and carrier of the device.
Private IP addresses on WiFi networks will NOT get identified and thus will not get served ad units.
The integration code provided in the mMedia portal extracts the Public IP address of the device by utilizing the REMOTE_ADDR HTTP header.
Note: If you have an internal server in between the handset and this server, you will need to utilize the X_FORWARDED_FOR HTTP Header in order to obtain the Public IP address of the device.
Metadata may also be passed during the ad request. To learn more, see Metadata.

Watch: NYPD officer shot on Staten Island leaves hospital
FORT WADSWORTH, Staten Island (WABC) -- An NYPD officer who was shot in the stomach during a standoff with a suspect on Staten Island was released from the hospital Tuesday.
Officer Amir Pali was rolled out of Staten Island University Hospital in a wheelchair by his partner, 29-year-old Officer Salvatore Balisteri, to a round of applause by a sea of officers who lined the walkway.
The 26-year-old officer's right arm is in a sling, and doctors were unable to remove the bullet. They are hoping it will work its way on its own, but either way, he is expected to make a full recovery.
Pali was wounded, apparently by friendly fire, as authorities attempted to stop a man armed with a knife shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday on Bridge Court in Fort Wadsworth. It is believed he was shot by Balisteri.
"Anybody who's a parent would understand the feelings that went through me that night," commanding officer Isa Abbasi said. "Although I'm not that much older than they are, they really are like family to me. They're like my children. And my heart stopped, just like I'm sure his parents' hearts stopped...We're all thankful to God. We're thankful that the circumstances played out like they did, and he really is a hero."
WATCH: Officer Amir Pali released from hospital
The incident was captured on police body camera video, with the suspect apparently yelling "shoot me" as he came toward officers with a 14-inch knife.
"You can see the male attempting to get past who we believe is his wife and coming at the officers," NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said. "You hear multiple times, 'Shoot me, shoot me, shoot me', and the ensuing shots, we have up to 10 to 12 shots at this time, preliminary, with multiple striking the victim, causing his demise."
Authorities say the man was shot when he refused to put the weapon down, even after they hit him with a Taser, which was ineffective.
A series of shots were fired, apparently at close range, with one of those shots hitting the officer in an area that was not covered with his body armor.
Neighbor Virginia Sturge said she walked out of her home to find a chaotic scene, with police involved in a confrontation with her landlord's husband after a report of disorderly conduct.
"Then, I heard bang, bang, bang, and I saw the cop outside calling for backup," she said. "So I had to go back inside the house."
Police say that the suspect was drunk and emotionally disturbed. At this point, it does not appear he had a firearm.
Pali is married and is approaching his three-year anniversary of joining the force.

How do I Pay for Inpatient Skilled Nursing Care?
If an individual is hospitalized for a minimum of three nights and it becomes clear he or she will need inpatient skilled nursing care, the Federal Medicare Program and most commercial insurers provides initial coverage upon hospital discharge. Every insurer has different rules for coverage.
To clarify any restrictions on coverage, it is best to speak with your insurance company or the skilled nursing center to which you seek admission. After traditional coverage ends, most people either make private pay arrangements or apply for the joint state and federal health insurance program, MassHealth.
Another option for covering inpatient skilled nursing care after traditional coverage ends is the purchase of a long-term care insurance policy. As with all insurance programs, long-term care insurance is a way to insure that the funds for nursing home care are in place when needed. Generally there is a waiting period.
However, many policies offer elimination of the waiting period in exchange for a higher premium. If the purchase of a policy is an option, individuals and families should consider several aspects of the policy, including a full explanation of eligibility and the overage to be provided, as well as whether hospitalization is a prerequisite for the receipt of nursing home benefits.
For more information about long-term care insurance contact the websites of the Massachusetts Senior Care Association (formerly called the Massachusetts Extended Care Federation) or AARP.
What is a Health Care Proxy and When Should I complete one?
A Health Care Proxy is a legally binding document in Massachusetts that enables a patient to ensure his or her wishes are followed regarding his or her future health care. In the event an individual is unable to make decisions about his or her own medical care, a health care agent whom that person has previously designated, will execute the person's wishes. Health Care Proxies must be completed when an individual is mentally competent to do so. However, since accidents and illness are often unexpected it is recommended that Health Care Proxies are written in advance of a crisis while there is time to calmly and thoroughly discuss a person's wishes regarding healthcare and treatment.
Further information and forms please visit the Massachusetts Medical Society, Health Care Proxy.

We miss our colleague, Stephen Kellert, and having worked with him on biophilic design over the last 18 years, his passing is greatly felt. What he left us in his last book is a clear statement of the philosophy and underlying principles for connecting humans to nature in the built environment. Stephen emphasized that this is a holistic approach. He wanted people to experience a connection to nature not just in the abstract, but in a way that motivated action through a connection to local ecology. Nature by Design is beautifully illustrated and a compelling narrative. It is an important addition to the movement of biophilic design.
If you've ever been hiking through the wilderness or trekked down a busy urban street with quirky angles or a distinctly native name, you may have wondered how that 'trail' came to be—whether it was intentionally crafted by man to get from point A to point B, or a snapshot of an intricate network that has evolved over hundreds of years. Moor explores the origin of trails, from their immaterial value to practical functionality. The book starts off with a trip to Newfoundland for a look back at the first soft-bodied, Precambrian trail-blazers of 565 million years ago and routinely circles back to the experience of the thru-hiker of the Appalachian Trail. Through a series of anecdotes seamless sprinkled with literary references each of a poetic, philosophical, or scientific nature—from Descartes, Darwin, Lord Byron and Wendell Berry, to the Cherokee and Navajo—Moor draws parallels between the trail networks of swarms of insects and herds of mammals, while questioning humankind's proclivity for independence and travel to unfamiliar places and, ultimately, how these inclinations have shaped the ground beneath our feet.


Release: RWDSU union says Amazon should not get public subsidies for opening an office in NYC.
"Amazon, one of the wealthiest and largest companies in history, needs the city more than the city needs Amazon – plain and simple. If Amazon wants to come here they can afford to do so on their own. RWDSU is deeply concerned about using tax payer subsidies for a company run by the richest man on earth to set up shop in our city, especially when it's something they want to do and can do on their own anyway. Tax payers shouldn't be on the hook to help Amazon be profitable – it's a massively profitable private business," said Stuart Appelbaum, President of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU).

Tyler Henritze, senior managing director of real estate for Blackstone, attends the initial price offering (IPO) of Hilton Worldwide (HLT) on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange shortly after the opening bell on December 12, 2013 in New York City.
Shareholders associated with the Blackstone Group are set to launch a massive secondary offering of Hilton Worldwide Holdings stock, the hotel company said Monday, with at least 90 million shares in play.
According to the world's largest publicly traded hotel chain, the underwriters will have a 30-day option to buy up to an additional 13.5 million shares from those selling the stock. Hilton itself "is not offering any shares of common stock in the offering, and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares in this offering," the company said.
The sale will be made available only by prospectus, with Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley acting as underwriters and joint book-running managers for the offering, Hilton said.
Last month, Hilton agreed to sell New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel to Chinese insurer Anbang Insurance Group for nearly $2 billion, ending nearly 40 years of Hilton's ownership of the 83-year old Art Deco property.


Someone Somewhere Is Plotting to Sell You Something You Don't Really Need But That You Might Want in the New Year if It's Cheap Enough. Why? Because It Will Truly Make You More Beautiful, Happier, and Incredibly Successful When It Isn't Making Your Life Easier!
For years I've been saving holiday hyperbole and hype. This kind of adtalk continues long after the holidays are over. After all, we've got gift cash and cards lurking in our wallets and merchants hope to lure us in with bargains we simply can't resist. Students are especially vulnerable to these enticements if financial aid has just arrived. I am reminded of the marketing sea we swim in both by what I see and hear and read and by an assignment on schoolhouse commercialism I just introduced to my students.
According to the Report on Schoolhouse Commercialism produced annually by CERU (Commercialism in Education Research Unit), categories of marketing targeting students include sponsorship of programs and activities; exclusive agreements with product vendors like soft-drink manufacturers; appropriation of space (bulletin boards, posters, and such); sponsored materials such as lesson plans, study materials, and curricula; and many other things that manufacturers hope will create awareness and build brand loyalty for their products.
We see this kind of thing clearly on college campuses when a stadium is named for a commercial donor or a team's uniforms are supplied by a particular manufacturer. Other kinds of marketing are such a familiar part of the educational landscape that we may not even recognize them as advertising. Take a look around you in class and check out how many brands you can see on clothing and bags. Who among you is unbranded? Are you? I wear a lot of anonymous clothing, much of it originating in thrift stores, but alas, my fondness for Converse makes me a walking advertisement many days.
Times are tough for education and money is hard to come by. I understand the temptations of and even the necessity for sponsorship. Just don't imagine that it's being done for the public good. Make your own decisions when it comes to deciding what to buy and what kinds of things deserve your customer loyalty.

Arctic Ground Squirrel Facts, Pictures & Information: The Animal With The Longest Hibernation Of All!
Arctic ground squirrel facts, pictures, video and in-depth information. Wake up sleepy-head! The Arctic ground squirrel can spend up to three-quarters of the year hibernating… that's longer than any other animal!
Read on to find out more about this fascinating Arctic rodent….
Arctic Ground Squirrel Facts At A Glance
Scientific name: Urocitellus parryii
Other Name(s): parka squirrel
Type of Animal: Mammal, Rodent
Animal Family: Sciuridae (the squirrel family)
Where Found: Arctic regions of North America and Russia
Average Length: 33.2 to 49.5 cm (13.1 to 19.5 in)
Weight: 524 to 1500 g (1.2 to 3.3 lb.)
Meet The Arctic Ground Squirrel: Introduction
The Arctic ground squirrel is a rodent that lives in Arctic regions of North America and Russia. It is found further north than any other ground squirrel, and is known for its exceptionally long hibernation period.
In fact, this Arctic rodent can hibernate for almost three quarters of the year; that's longer than any other animal!
The species' coat is traditionally used in the ruffs of parka jackets. This practice has led to the species' alternative name of 'parka squirrel'.

What Does The Arctic Ground Squirrel Look Like?
The Arctic ground squirrel's coat becomes paler in the winter.
The Arctic ground squirrel has a cylindrical body and short, powerful limbs. Its snout is short and its ears small and round. White rings surround its large eyes. The feet have sharp claws and soft pads on the soles. The tail is flat, bushy and relatively short. Male Arctic ground squirrels are larger than females.
The Arctic ground squirrel's coat is reddish-grey and silver with red-brown patches on the head and legs. The undersides are pale grey / white, the tail dark.
The squirrel molts twice a year. Its summer coat is soft and fine and reddish-brown in color. In winter the coat is thick and stiff, and becomes more silver-grey in color.
Where Is The Arctic Ground Squirrel Found?
What a view! The Arctic ground squirrel is found in Arctic regions of Alaska, Canada and Russia.
The Arctic ground squirrel is found in Alaska and in Arctic regions of eastern Russia and Canada.
Although the species is found across an extremely wide area (covering an estimated 2 million km2 / 770,000 sq. mi.), its distribution is patchy; it is present in high numbers in some areas but absent in others.
Arctic Ground Squirrel Habitat
The Arctic ground squirrel is found in a wide range of both open and forested habitats. These include: mountain slopes, river valleys, lake shores, open meadows, coastal sand ridges, forest clearings and meadow steppes. It lives at elevations of up to 1,400 m (4,600 ft.).
Ideal habitat for the Arctic ground squirrel consists of sloping ground with sandy soil and sparse vegetation (the sandy soil is easy to burrow in and the lack of thick vegetation makes it easier to spot predators).
The Arctic ground squirrel often stands on its hind feet to get a better view of its surroundings.
The Arctic ground squirrel lives in colonies consisting of a dominant male, several closely-related females and their young.
The colonies live in shallow burrow systems. The burrows are used for escaping from predators, as a den for expectant mothers, and as a winter refuge. Burrows used for hibernating are between 5 and 8 feet below the ground.
Nests within the burrow systems are lined with dry grass, leaves, lichens and fur.
During summer, the squirrels are generally active between 5 am and 11 pm. They return to their burrows at night and during periods of bad weather.
Arctic Ground Squirrel Hibernation
The Arctic ground squirrel hibernates for up to nine months of the year. This 'extreme hibernation' is an adaptation that enables the species to survive long periods of extreme cold and lack of food.
Females hibernate longer than males, retreating to their burrows in early August only to emerge in late April. Males hibernate from late September to early April.
The squirrels may wake and emerge from their burrows for short periods during the hibernation period.
During hibernation, a squirrel's heart rate slows and its core body temperature falls to as low as -2.9°C (37.2°F): the lowest recorded body temperature in a mammal.
The Arctic ground squirrel communicates with scent and a variety of sounds.
The Arctic ground squirrel communicates via scent, touch and a range of vocalizations. Male squirrels use scent glands on their cheeks and back to mark their territories. When individuals meet, they often press their noses together.
Vocalizations used by the squirrel range from screeches to rattles. Arctic ground squirrels vary their alarm calls depending on the type of threat they are facing. A deep guttural sound indicates a land-based predator, while a whistle-like call warns of a bird of prey.
Arctic Ground Squirrel Life Cycle
The Arctic ground squirrel mating season begins when the squirrels first emerge from hibernation and lasts for around 2 weeks.
Violent encounters between males are frequent during this time as they fight for control over territories and access to the females that reside there. The female is only receptive for 12 hours and may mate with multiple males during that time.
Gestation lasts 25 to 30 days, after which the female gives birth to a litter of 5 to 10 pups in an underground burrow.
The young weigh around 10 g (0.35 oz.) at birth and are hairless, toothless and blind. The female nurses the pups for up to 35 days. Maternal responsibilities are often shared with related females.
The young grow extremely fast. By 8 to 10 weeks of age they are independent and appear above ground.
After leaving their mother, male squirrels are more likely to disperse while females tend to stay in the same area.
What Do Arctic Ground Squirrels Eat?
The Arctic ground squirrel is an omnivore. Its varied diet includes grasses, seeds, fruit, mushrooms, insects and small vertebrates.
The Arctic ground squirrel is an omnivore. Its diet includes grasses, sedges, lichens, mosses, flowers, seeds, fruit, berries, mushrooms, insects, small vertebrates, eggs and carrion.
During the summer, the squirrel's diet contains a larger ratio of seeds and fruit. The animals increase their body fat by 30 to 41.5% in preparation for hibernation.
Male squirrels also store grass and nuts inside their hibernation chambers – they rely on this cache of food when they re-emerge from hibernation before the females.
The Arctic ground squirrel is an important prey species to many animals. The species' land-based predators include the Arctic fox, red fox, wolverine, lynx and grizzly bear.
Aerial predators include the golden eagle, great horned owl, snowy owl, northern goshawk and peregrine falcon.
The main anti-predatory strategies of the squirrels are constantly scanning the environment when above the ground and using alarm calls.
Is The Arctic Ground Squirrel Endangered?
The Arctic ground squirrel is rated 'Least Concern' by the IUCN.
The species is found across a wide range and has a large population. Although unsustainable hunting (both for the squirrel's meat and for its skin) threatens some local populations, it does not threaten the species as a whole.

Information processed by complex cognitive systems is characterized by the presence of various closely connected hierarchic structures. The most natural geometry for the representation of such structures is geometry of trees and the corresponding topology is the ultrametric topology of on these trees. And the p-adic trees provide the simplest model for representation of mental hierarchies. Moreover, p-adic trees can be endowed with the natural arithmetic reminding the usual arithmetic of real numbers. Therefore it is natural to start from the p-adic models of brain's functioning. In this note the authors apply this model to demonstrate the ability of the "p-adic brain" to process adequately the objects of the physical Euclidean space in the p-adic tree representation. This study also leads to p-adic modeling of brain's creativity and its ability to create abstract images. The authors' model is about unconscious processing of information by the brain. Therefore the authors can say about elements of coming theory of unconscious creativity.

125 years of Faith
Faith United Methodist Church will celebrate anniversary Sunday
Faith United Methodist Church will celebrate its 125th anniversary on Sunday, Sept. 8.
By Callie Jones | cjones@journal-advocate.com | Sterling Journal-Advocate
The original small white church building that housed Faith United Methodist Church in 1898
The Evangelical United Brethren Church, now Faith United Methodist Church, at its Fourth and Poplar Street location in 1925.
Faith United Methodist Church members celebrate at a groundbreaking ceremony Oct. 25, 1953, for the present building at 230 Williams Place.
In 1894, a little congregation was started in a red brick church at Fifth and Chestnut St. On Sunday, Sept. 8, that congregation, Faith United Methodist Church, celebrated its 125th anniversary.
The anniversary celebration included a worship service, lunch in Kelly Hall and a birthday party and carnival. Food at the birthday party was catered by Wagner BBQ, with a cake made by Sheryl Lopez. The carnival included a dunk cake, popcorn and snow cone machines, a six-foot Jenga game, cornhole, full size Connect 4 and face painting.
FUMC's presence began on May 11, 1894, when a small number of members of the Leroy/Kelly, Colo. affiliate of the Evangelical Association of North America met in the Home of Michael Thimgan to establish an Evangelical Church in Sterling. On May 18, a Sunday school was started. The Sterling church first met in the home of the Thimgan family at N. Third and Chestnut Streets.
The church's first pastor was Reverend F. Osterag.
It did not take long for the Sterling congregation to outgrow the home at N. Third and Chestnut. Soon the congregation felt the need to find a larger meeting place. The growing church was shared with the All Saints Episcopal congregation.
It was a "humble little place but it was our church home" according to notes written by Elizabeth Therkorn one of the charter members.
In 1898 the little white church was purchased from the Presbyterian congregation. The church was moved from Fourth and Main Street to N. Fourth and Poplar. In a few short years the Leroy congregation and the Sterling congregation built a new parsonage.
In the later part of 1923, a movement was started for the building of a much needed larger church that would provide more room and better facilities for the growing congregation. Offerings were taken which permitted the beginning of a new church building to be constructed of brick in June 1925.
On Nov. 15, 1925, the new church was dedicated to the Glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom. The building and its furnishings cost approximately $12,500.
The red brick church was used for 28 years to good advantage. In 1952, the congregation again began thinking in terms of a new church. That year permission was sought from the annual conference to sell the building and move to a new location.
A new housing development on the north edge of town was being opened. The congregation with little trepidation sold the church building for $40,000 to a local physician.
A new location was found on Marks Court (Charmony addition). A ground breaking service was held on Oct. 25, 1953 as new construction began at 230 Williams Place, the church's current location. On that day pledges of over $17,000 were received for the new building.
The following year, a corner-stone laying service was held April 25 and a dedication was set for July 18, 1954. An additional wing, Kelly Hall, named after the town where several founding congregation members came from, was dedicated on Oct. 6, 1963.
On April, 1968, the Evangelical United Brethren Church merged with Methodism, and a committee was appointed to choose the new name of the re-organized church. The committee chose the name Faith Methodist Church from a list submitted by the congregation.
In 1971, the word "United" was added to the name as well as the insignia of the cross and flame. The cross represents the Holy Trinity, and the flame suggests Pentecost, when believers saw "tongues of fire." The single, yet dual flame was meant to represent the merger of the E.U.B. and Methodist Churches.
The church is currently led by Jodie Harless, who has served since 2013. During its history the church has had around 30 pastors including: Charles S. Steinmetz (1921-1927), V.E. Stakemiller (1927-1928), Herbert H. Donnenworth (1928-1932), Harvey Hagemeier (1932-1936), Victor H. Schroeder (1936-1939), Harvey W. Marks (1939-1941), Charles G. Bartsch (1941-1944), Ernest A. Jackson (1944-1946), C. Laffoon (1946-1951), Glen Aderhold (1952-1953), Ira W. Gray (1953-1955), Robert Perske (1955-1960), William L. Woelfle (1960-1966), Ralph C. Hines (1967-1969), William R. Wright (1971-1976), Dennis Sillaman (1976-1984), Timothy W. Goettel (1982-1987), Robert Morgan (1987-1988), Donald R. Forbes (1988-1993), Dave Moorman (1993-1997), David Burnett (1997-2002), Joyce and Derrick Detoni-Hill (2002-2010), Vivian Hiestand (2010-2011) and Eunjoo Yi (2011-2013).

Humana eyes acquisitions in complementary areas-WSJ
Nov 23 (Reuters) - Health insurer Humana Inc HUM.N is looking for acquisitions in complementary areas to adapt to changing healthcare need, its Chief Executive Mike McCallister told the Wall Street Journal in an interview.
The company is targeting areas such as managing expenditure on expensive specialty drugs and chronic diseases.
"If you look at the future in terms of where drug spending is going to be, specialty drugs are going to get very large," McCallister told the paper. "It's important for the company to have the right positioning on that, whether it's inside or outside."
Humana set off a political storm in September when it sent letters to its Medicare Advantage health insurance plan customers warning them about pending health reform legislation.

Q: 3 processes start taking up all the CPU, computer overheats. How do I shut them off? I have an old computer with Ubuntu 16.
When I'm working on it, I'm not signed in as Admin. A few days ago I did an update and since then, it's happened twice that after several hours of working, I notice the computer is overheating. It doesn't exactly freeze but it barely moves.
3 processes are taking up between 20 and 35% CPU each.
systemd-journald
rsysylogd-n
[kworker/0:2]
I try to order the processes to stop, but it tells me I don't have the proper privileges, without giving me a chance to login to Admin.
What do I do?

A: You can use the terminal for this.
First enter
top

Get the PIDs (first column)
Now enter (with or without sudo)
kill PID
eg.
kill 3184

The processes might be critical, so it is not wise to just stop everything without knowing what they are doing. Overheating might be indicative of a deeper problem ?
Also, how old is old ? Is RAM memory sufficient ? htop or glances might reveal more information. Is the swap full (best seen via htop)
