VPNs enable users to remotely and securely get connected to an organization's network to simply access and share electronic health care data. In this case, that calls for setting up a VPN connection to the College or university of Twente, hence that you will get an IP address starting with 129. fifth there's 89, even if the Internet Vendor is different then that of the University of Twente. Advertisers, subscription expertise, you brand it, they can buy it. Because the internet connection between your unit and the VPN server is encrypted.
Remember that not every single service plan supports IKEv2 hence that way relies significantly upon your VPN service installer or perhaps company. Although both equally types of networks show a name and core principles, corporate VPNs happen to be designed to allow remote personnel to connect safely to enterprise servers and therefore are very unique compared to the kind of VPN setup described here. VPNs may serve any network functionality that may be found about any network, including posting of information and entry to network assets, laser printers, sources, websites, etc . In fact, only some VPN offerings require that you just pay. Web server hostname: This could either become the IP address or the full hardware hostname.
You aren't incalculable web based mainly because you aren't regularly applying a different IP address, do not ever the individual. This also helps make remote durham region work likely, as companies can provide staff access to significant company info safely online. Although VPN is even now found in this kind of way, the term now generally refers to commercial VPN companies that allow customers to locate the internet for your dui through all their servers. Nevertheless instead of investing in high-priced travel around or perhaps using a great unsecured interconnection, this enterprise runs on the Digital Personal Network, or VPN for connecting employees and territorial office buildings to head office. Employing a VPN, your info is definitely protected, consequently possibly if you hook up to a great hateful double killer spot it is straightforward to get a hacker to installation a bogus hotspot branded Free Air-port WiFi or perhaps your information is blocked using a Wi-Fi small fortune sniffer Wi-Fi is merely fm radio waves after all, your data will probably be safe.
This kind of can either be the IP address or perhaps the 100 % web server hostname. Working in from a home office or the road requires only a net internet browser and Internet connection. In the event you want to observe a tv program that is staying broadcast online but is merely accessible simply by viewers in a single country you can use a VPN to gain access. A VPN expands a company network through encrypted internet connections produced on the internet. The deciding factor in this decision is whether or not really the VPN service also has use of this information. Which means various users are designated the same Internet protocol address, so matching identified net behavior with a specific individual is very challenging to do, regardless if a company should would like or is certainly compelled to accomplish this. This should go a extended way towards addressing the privacy concern outlined above.
In truth, this kind of level of encryption is so safe and sound it's used by banks and governments global to ensure the security of their data. In a virtual network, work your choice network electronic kitchen appliances WAN optimizers, stream balancers, and application firewalls and understand traffic passes, allowing you to style the network with a higher amount of control. To alter your design a VPN software, info dispatched through your mobile — end up being it the browsing data or the applications you are applying — is undoubtedly routed through nodes located somewhere else. A wipe out move is a characteristic that quickly gets rid of your online gain access to if the protected, secure interconnection will need to ever drop.

Rams' high-powered offense poses seemingly impossible challenge for Lions' defense
The Rams average 35.4 points and have scored fewer than 30 just twice. The Lions counter with a defense that's allowing 26.0 points per game.

Allen Park — It wouldn't be unlike these Detroit Lions to defy expectations.
No one expected Detroit to beat New England after starting the year 0-2, but they did. And while, in hindsight, the victory over Green Bay doesn't look as impressive than it once did, few were picking the Lions before that game kicked off. Even two weeks ago, when the Lions appeared to be in a full freefall, losing three straight be double digits, the team pulled together to top a 6-3 Panthers team.
So why is this week any different? Shouldn't we be bracing for the unexpected when the Los Angeles Rams bring their high-octane offense to town?
Vegas certainly doesn't think so. The Rams are currently favored by 10 points. That's the longest odds the Lions have faced all season.
Then again, who could blame the oddsmakers? The Rams are coming off a bye, and before the week of rest, they hung 54 points on the Kansas Chiefs in one of the most thrilling regular-season games in recent memory.
The Rams enter the week averaging 35.4 points and have scored fewer than 30 just twice. The Lions counter with a defense that's allowing 26.0 points per game, which ranks in the bottom-10 of the NFL, plus have an offense that hasn't scored more than 32 this year.
Given the Lions announced last season's leading receiver Marvin Jones is done for the year, and talented rookie rusher Kerryon Johnson is looking like a no-go with a knee injury, the offense doesn't have the personnel to hold up in a track meet. That means the defense is going to have to step up, in an unexpected way.
"We just have to do what we can to defend what they do, and do it really well from that standpoint," Lions coach Matt Patricia said. "Try to keep them from not scoring 35 points a game, that would probably be our starting point."
The Rams offense doesn't really have a glaring weakness. Running back Todd Gurley already has cracked 1,000 yards on the year, averaging 5.0 yards per carry. Quarterback Jared Goff, the former No. 1 overall pick in his third season, has a passer rating of 113.5. He's completing 67.7 percent of his throws and averaging 9.31 yards per attempt, the second-best rate in the league this season. And wide receivers Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods are each on the cusp of 1,000-yard campaigns, and no one should be surprised if both top the mark this week in Detroit.
That's enough to cost a defensive coach a few extra hours of sleep during the week.
"What goes through your mind is how can you slow them down?" defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni said. "What can you do to defend them? Trying to understand exactly what the offense is and how they're coming up with all these yards and these explosive plays. ...They're pretty balanced and they're pretty good at what they do, so it's hard."

One option the Lions are likely to consider is dictating the game's tempo, at least for as long as they reasonably can. It's a strategy the Lions already have been utilizing much of the year.
According to pace statistics tracked by Football Outsiders, the Lions are among the NFL's slowest offensive teams, taking 28.5 seconds between snaps. And that figure is skewed because the team understandably picks up the pace when trailing, and they've been behind plenty this year. When the scoring situation is considered neutral, no team uses more clock between snaps than the Lions.
Another possibility, which goes against convention, would involve focusing less on stopping Gurley while committing more resources to limiting the Rams' aerial assault.

Almost every defensive coach will tell you the first priority of the game plan is stopping the run, but the Rams' lowest offensive point output his season overlapped with Gurley's best day on the ground, a 208-yard output in a 23-20 victory over the Broncos.
It's also counter-intuitive since the Lions have been highly effective against the run as of late, holding their past three opponents to 49.3 yards per game and 2.8 yards per carry.
"I think that's where you go through the games and you take a look at the different teams that played them, and teams have tried both and really haven't been successful," Patricia said. "I think you have to try to stop both, it's just a situation where control of the game is important."
Whatever path the defense chooses, execution of the plan figures to be daunting. But this isn't a game the Lions can afford to get down big early. If the Rams come out the starting blocks hot, they're not likely to look back.

It is that time of year again! The ALA Nominating Committee has chosen Kent Oliver and Roberta Stevens to run for ALA President.
I am strongly endorsing Kent for President.
Kent was the Kansas Chapter Councilor when I first joined Council. He was an incredible mentor to me in my early years. He also co-convened what was then called the Council Caucus. In that role he was also a role model for organizing the group, and an excellent example of fairness and listening. He encouraged/cajoled me into following in his footsteps in that group as well.
While Kent is no longer in Kansas (he got a great job in Ohio), I know that one of the things he brings to his ALA roles is the importance of the Chapters (state associations) and the critical relationship between ALA and the Chapters. Sometimes this relationship is strained when ALA leaders forget about or do not understand the local situations.
Kent ably served as the chair of ALA's Intellectual Freedom Committee for four years. It is a tremendous vote of confidence to have four successive ALA Presidents appoint you to chair this very important committee.
Please support Kent. I expect that he will have events at ALA Midwinter, or you can visit his web site. There is also Kent's personal page on FaceBook (feel free to be his friend) and the Campaign's page on Facebook.


RealTime Gaming mines the historical riches of China's Tang Dynasty to unearth the treasure that is Empress Wu Zetian. Containing wilds, free games and expanded symbols, Wu Zetian retells a beloved story while boasting maximum wins of x50,000 payline bet!
The story of the only Chinese Empress in history coincides with the mighty military and political expansion of the Chinese Empire. Thus, it only fits that she makes up the highest-paying and of course most sought after symbol.
The other high-paying symbols include the Emperor Taizong, son Emperor Gaozong, Chinese subjects and her steed who she called the Lion Stallion. Finally, a lovely jewel, jade Imperial guardian lion statue, golden treasure pot, lantern, rose and decorative comb makes up the lower-paying end.
The artwork is beautifully illustrated with photo-real images, and the audio is serene and mesmerising as the wind can be seen and heard blowing the clouds and banners to the back of the reels. Enhancing the sound is an ever so soft Asian instrumental tune which plays gently in the background.
The wealth of this slot is not only in its theme, artwork or prizes. It is also in its features starting with the wild pearl which can surface on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th reels. It has the raw ability to also appear as a 3×4 sized giant symbol. This precious symbol can substitute for any symbol except the gong scatter.
A signature feature of this slot is the ability of all the upper-value and lower-value symbols to appear in different sizes. So, in addition to symbols that occupy a single space, there is also the possibility of 3×2, 3×3, 3×4 or 3×5 sized symbols when the reels lock together.
The Scatter Gong Feature is a five free spins game which is triggered by a minimum of 3 consecutive scatter gong symbols. The number of scatters triggering the feature is important because it will also determine the amount of synchronised reels. In other words, 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols will lock 3, 4 or 5 reels together.
Wu Zetian slot is a 5-reels and 25 fixed paylines slot which can be played with wagers of as little as R0.25 to as much as R125. It does have higher volatility meaning you might need a higher bankroll to play longer.
Five thousand years of Chinese history lends itself to the creation of this early 2019 release which is sure to captivate you with its beauty, features and prizes!
Players who are serious about their slot games will find that this one goes anywhere with them on mobile or tablet. All you need is an Android or iOS.

Oregon's Sabrina Ionescu secures record 18th triple-double, calls out ESPN

Sabrina Ionescu is the best in college basketball when it comes to triple-doubles. The University of Oregon junior has the most in the game — both for men and women — and continues to bump up the mark, whether media outlets are paying attention or not.
She put away the 18th triple-double of her career Sunday night, sending Oregon to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA women's tournament for the third consecutive season after a 91-68 victory over Indiana University.
Ionescu shared how she ensured she'd get reach the mark late in the game, then put media, specifically ESPN, on blast for the lack of recognition she said it shows women's sports.
Ionescu ensures a 10th rebound
The Ducks had a comfortable lead with 2:30 left in the game when Ionescu, one rebound away from a triple-double in the runaway 89-66 game, came up short on a 3-pointer from dead center.
She followed her shot, snatched the rebound, and the crowd went crazy for the star junior. The Naismith Trophy finalist finished with 29 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
ESPN's Dave Pasch and LaChina Robinson asked her during the postgame on-air interview if that miss, a rarity, was on purpose.
"A little bit, a little bit," she said with a big smile. "I knew exactly where it was going to go, so let me just add a little bit more rotation on this shot so I can get it back."
Ionescu was 5-of-9 from behind the arc and made all six free throws.
Oregon, the second seed in the Portland region behind Mississippi State, shot 51.5 percent from the field as a team and 44.8 percent from beyond the arc. Kelly Graves told The Oregonian he thought the team "got some of our mojo back."
Upping the collegiate record
Ionescu has eight triple-doubles this season. She set the single-season record — again both for men's and women's college basketball — with 13 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists against Southern California in February.
Her 18 career triple-doubles increases her own record, set in a December 2018 outing against Air Force.
It broke the mark set by Kyle Collinsworth over a four-year career at BYU. He had 12 in his career, six of which were in the 2017-18 season for what was then a record.
In the 2017-18 tournament Ionescu set Oregon off with a bang, posting a triple-double on the first day of the women's action. That shattering performance and quiet reverberation set up Ionescu's remarks about ESPN after the Ducks' win.
Ionescu jabs media coverage
The junior has not decided if she'll declare for the WNBA draft, where she is projected to be a first-round pick if not the first overall. The victory over Indiana could have been her final game at Oregon's Matthew Knight Arena and if it is, she went out in style.
As for those outside of the arena Sunday, she's not so sure they will get word of the team's tournament successes and triple-double.
"It's awesome to get one in the [NCAA] tournament — probably still won't get recognized because ESPN never recognizes women's sports that are getting triple-doubles," Ionescu said during postgame comments. "But I'm still happy to do it in front of the home crowd and everyone supporting me."
Ionescu was inexplicably left out of the conversation Thursday when Murray State's Ja Morant opened the men's tournament with a triple-double. Media outlets dubbed it the "first March Madness triple-double since 2012."
The Pac-12 Network called the NCAA out on Twitter as did fellow basketball fans. And Monday morning, after Ionescu's second NCAA tournament triple-double in as many years, the coverage was relatively quiet in comparison.
For her part, Ionescu congratulated Morant, who gave a classy reply back.
ESPN airs the women's tournament in full, but as has been noted over the weekend on Twitter it leaves a lot to be desired. And when it comes to the station's topical shows, such as "SportsCenter" and commentary shows, women's basketball is a glaring omission.
Oregon will play the winner of No. 3 Syracuse vs. No. 6 South Dakota State, set to tip off at 7 p.m. Monday, in the Portland semifinal regional Friday.

Taraji P. Henson Says She Lost A Piece Of Her Lip During An Abusive Relationship
by Shannon Dawson | October 24, 2021
Source: Facebook Watch/Peace of Mind With Taraji P. Henson / Facebook Watch/Peace of Mind
Taraji P. Henson and Angela Simmons will have an emotional heart-to-heart about their personal experiences with domestic abuse on a new episode of Peace of Mind with Taraji this week.
The episode, which is titled "Why Do Women Stay in Hurtful Relationships?" finds The Growing Up Hip Hop star answering the difficult question. Simmons opens up about how the mental and physical abuse from her violent relationship impacted her.
"I dealt with somebody with a temper and I didn't know. It started off as small things, and next thing you know, stuff is getting thrown at me, I'm against the wall, or I'm jumping out of moving cars because I'm afraid or I'm calling cops," the 34-year-old says in a sneek clip from the forthcoming show. "I never thought in a million years I was going to be that person. When I was going through it I was like, this is insane. And at the same time you're not wanting to tell no one around you because you're in a relationship with the person and you don't want them to judge them. In a weird way you're still guarding them but going through it yourself."
At one point in the episode, Henson asks Simmons how she decided to walk away from her tumultuous relationship to which the Empire star then details her very own harrowing experience escaping abuse.
"Sometimes as women what we do is we fall in love and we go, 'You know what? I'll fix it later. For me, it was when blood was drawn…" The Baby Boy star tells Simmons, according to Hot 97. "because it started with the bruises and grabbing, things like that. And then once the fist came — I'm missing a piece of my lip to this day — that's when I knew I had to go," she added.
Elsewhere in the interview, Henson tells viewers about how she never wanted her emotional struggles with abuse during her childhood to affect her son, Marcell Johnson.
"I don't want my son around this," she says while offering advice to domestic abuse survivors on how to turn their lives around. "You can find yourself in any bad situation in life. Guess who it is up to to get out of it? You. That's it. If you're not chained to a wall and no one has a gun to your head and says, 'I'm going to shoot you,' where's the power? You have the power."
The full episode will air on Oct. 25 on Facebook Watch at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET. Will you be watching?

What happened while the LHC slept over winter?
A round up of the upgrades and maintenance during the 2016/2017 extended year-end technical stop
By Harriet Jarlett

Since the beginning of December, hundreds of people have been busy underground at CERN, working to make important repairs and to upgrade many facilities, across the whole of CERN's accelerator chain and experiments.
This year the annual shutdown, called the Extended Year End Technical Stop (EYETS) is particularly long, lasting until May 2017, to allow more work to be carried out than in previous years.
At the beginning of the shutdown, the entire machine was drained of its liquid helium to avoid wasting any of the precious element, while important work was done to the LHC's cryogenics system.

After removing the helium, scientists and engineers were also able to check the cooling and ventilation, vacuum, electrical and other systems, to make sure they were running properly.
Next, the technical team have had to replace one of the 1232 magnets in the LHC's ring. Once the magnet was replaced, the team had to carry out many tests at room temperature, triple-checking the magnet was connected properly with no leaks, or deformation.
Also, the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) beam dump needed replacing. Beam dumps are radiation-shielded blocks, deep underground, where scientists can choose to send beams that have become degraded so that they can be safely absorbed.
Researchers re-designed and produced a new beam dump that would allow the SPS to reach its full performance for the 2017 run (Image: Maximilien Brice/ CERN)
Issues with the SPS dump last year had limited the number of particle bunches that could be injected into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), so it needed to be replaced. A heroic effort was made to re-design and produce a new beam dump, which was finally installed in March and will allow the SPS to reach its full performance again for the 2017 run.
A large part of the shutdown had been identifying and labelling individual cables and removing unnecessary ones in preparation for the many new cables that will be needed for future upgrades.
Over the past few weeks the helium has been re-injected into the system and is being slowly cooled so that the machine can be handed back to the operations teams. From now, the injectors in the accelerator chain are being reawakened.

The experiments also used this time to maintain and improve their machines, including the replacement of the detector's pixel tracker, at the heart of the experiment. All the experiments are now doing final checks before the caverns close, in time for the LHC to be able to inject the first beam in early May.

I have listened to this again and again since I first heard the show years ago. if you're not dead then you'll enjoy this immensely. you may enjoy it as well if you're dead, I can't really say.
I am a fan of Charles Dickens and this parody/satire seemed right up my alley. And it was! This is so different from the "typical" British comedy which is funny but not laugh out loud funny. Bleak Expectations is laugh out loud funny. Some of the jokes are incredibly witty and clever...and some of them are just the most obvious puns. But honestly, I didn't even care because 1) I love puns and 2) it had earned my delight long before that. The story just gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on (there is an alien invasion at one point) and somewhat repetitive since it's pretty much always the same bad guy who just doesn't seem to be able to stay dead. But again, honestly I didn't care because I just enjoyed the ride. The performances were really great; I've loved Anthony Head since Buffy the Vampire Slayer and he is just phenomenal at voice acting here.
Some small technical notations: I was frustrated that each episode of the series is not a separate chapter so it would be really difficult to jump to a specific episode. The last series seems to be grouped into episodes as chapters but the others are not. Not sure if this is something Audible could fix, but listeners should be aware. Also, there is a technical issue with chapter 216: there is about 30 minutes of dead air after the episode ends. It doesn't appear that any episodes are missing; there's just a few minutes you have to fast forward through to get to the next episode.
Overall, very highly recommended if you have any affection for Charles Dickens or ridiculous comedies. This series was a bright spot during a difficult time and I will absolutely listen to it over and over again.
I will keep trying out other British BBC comedy series since some of them really are funny, but there must be some cultural divide where the wacky stuff doesn't translate.
Most of this book, to be honest, I slept through. But I tried before and after sleeping through the middle of it to listen to the story and jokes - because I really wanted to hear some comedy. But this book didn't work for me and I can't finish it. I had to go reload Cabin Pressure and John Finnemore's Double Acts onto my iPod to get some good laughs.
Exellent but spoilt by the bizarre chapter length.
What were they thinking in using chapter lengths of such short length??? Some chapters are less than 1 minute long while others stretch to a more normal 20+ minutes - the sheer amount of miniature chapters though results in a "blip" in playback , rather like an old record skipping. Really annoying , REALLY ANNOYING! Please fix it so we can download again and enjoy it properly.
An Absolute Joy....so clever, so funny!
What did you like most about Bleak Expectations?
From the first episode this radio series sparkles with with both with and broader too. The writing is very clever - the writer is clearly very fond of Dickens but paraodies his stories beautifully, gently mocking the Victorian values, the caricature characters and the fascinations of Britain's educated middle-class readers at the time.I loved the clear Goon Show references and all of the gentle references to contemporary pop culture - Darth Vader, Close Encounters of the Third Kind etc. And what acting...! Wonderful energetic performances throughout - all of the actors clearly loving the show and the script.Fabulous value too - would have forked our twice the price for such funny and original entertainment.
The Elder Pip Bin - the pomposity and self-importance are so funny.
The moment when a character encounters alien life and reproduces the Theme to 'Close Encounters of the Third kind' will stay with me forever - sublime!
After listening to the first few episodes I didn't understand the raving positive reviews, but persevere to series 2 and you'll be rewarded.
It's recorded in front of a live audience and I found, in series 1, there were many people with loud laughs + some people who laughed at anything. Their sound level is just too high and started to annoy. Thankfully series 2 onwards it's fine, and that is the same with the writing, it improves a lot.
To really appreciate it you need to enjoy silly; some characters remain, but are undead. People turn into dinosaurs. An authentic period drama it is not.
The audio is split into 217 chapters, some are an episode in length, but most are only a few minutes long. This is frustrating as you can't use 'sleep timer' + 'End of chapter'. Please Audible and BBC can we please have 1 chapter per episode, as can't understand the logic why you would split chapters into 1-2 minutes chunks.
Also in Chapter 216 there is a 28 minute gap of nothingness, pure silence. What's that all about?
Ignore the formatting, that's not the fault of the programme (Bleak Expectations), it's a grower and a bargain for all five series @ 1 credit.
Would have given it 5 stars all round if it weren't for the absurd amount of chapters (200+). Ideally it'd be split in to episodes.
This has been my favourite radio series for some time and I'm so glad to have them all in one place!
The finest work that Darles Chickens never wrote. Absolute corker, bang tidy. Do not hesitate for one moment to get this.
it certainly takes your mind off your troubles. you'll keep dipping in again and again.
But with it's own surreal logic. Love all 5 series but glad it didn't carry on and go stale.

When in Doubt, Serve
Wednesday was July 4th. Nowadays, it is a day for barbeques and fireworks. But its origins are rooted in celebrating the independence of Colonial America. The date is practically synonymous with liberty. But today – from traditional print to electronic tweets – we are bombarded with news of trade wars, rising sea levels, refugees languishing at sea and in detention centers, and claims of fake news everywhere. Hardly the ideal envisioned in 1776, it can be downright depressing.
What is the best antidote? Last week, I was in Hyannis Port for the launch of a national advisory board on mental health (more on that next week), which was graciously hosted by Patrick J. Kennedy, a member of the advisory board, at the Kennedy Compound. An idyllic setting infused with history, the house itself practically sings the lessons of this most famous of Irish immigrant families. Given the tumult of our day, the proximity to Fourth of July, and the iconic images and unforgettable speeches that are represented throughout the Kennedys' summer cottage and the JFK Museum in town, the message that sang the loudest for me? 'When in doubt, serve.'
1. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. A line that most of us can quote in our sleep, this sentiment is as true today as it was in 1961 when President John F. Kennedy addressed the world in his 14-minute inauguration speech. In terms of mental health, we know that giving of oneself is good for our health. It is associated with improved mood, increased social connection, reduced stress, and increased sense of purpose. Good for mental health. Good for country.
2. There are those who look at things the way they are and ask why…I dream of things that never were and ask why not. Quoting from George Bernard Shaw as he launched his own presidential candidacy, Robert F. Kennedy called on all of us to be agents of a brighter future. Each of us. Enhanced agency and self-efficacy are among the most important benefits of volunteering time to serve the public good. In contrast, lack of agency and lack of self-efficacy is associated with low self-esteem, depression and anxiety. And on an individual level, recovery from mental health challenges is greatly impacted by our ability to imagine a better future and our sense agency to create it.
3. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. Another quote from JFK's inaugural address. In fact, when we give to someone else, it increases our own happiness and the benefits can be seen in our brains. Giving to others releases endorphins and activates regions of the brain associated with pleasure, social connection, and trust.
4. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, they send forward a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Robert F. Kennedy's "Ripple of Hope" Speech was delivered to the National Union of South African Students at University of Cape Town in 1966 on the Day of Reaffirmation of Academic and Human Freedom. I have written about the essential role that hope plays in mental health, and I believe Robert F. Kennedy agreed: whether it is racial prejudice or mental illness hope underpins the process of positive change.
5. You are the stars and the world is watching you. By your presence you send a message to every village, every city, every nation. These are the words of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Founder of the Special Olympics, at the first International Special Olympics Games held in Chicago, Illinois in 1968. With different talents and needs, we can each contribute.
A story of immigrants who went from a famine in Ireland to The White House of the United States in three generations, the Kennedys have known prejudice, trauma, mental illness, and addiction. They have also cultivated a commitment to serve. Patrick J. Kennedy continues the family legacy today. As former US Congressman (D-RI), Patrick J. Kennedy is the founder of The Kennedy Forum and tireless advocate for individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders. Quite a family playbook. Quite a reminder for us all. When in doubt, serve. Doing so has potential not only for social good but also for our own mental health.
PrevPreviousSCOTUS: What about Mental Illness?
NextFriday the ThirteenthNext


What an interesting week it has been for Panther players and fans.
First, there was news that linebacker Shaq Thompson is getting sued for a 2016 car accident he was involved in. Then, there was panic surrounding the news that quarterback Cam Newton got in another car accident and somehow collided with a dump truck (Thankfully, he is fine).
But perhaps the most devastating news of all, came two days ago: that LB Thomas Davis will serve a 4 game suspension for violating the NFL's policy performance-enhancing substances.
It didn't take long when the news broke for Davis to post a heartfelt and apologetic video on Twitter addressing Panther fans and the situation. In light of this recent news, I wanted to take an opportunity to reflect on the amazing player that Davis has always been, on and off the field for Charlotte and surrounding communities.
On Friday, it was announced that the Carolina Panthers are trading cornerback Daryl Worley to Philadelphia, in exchange for wide receiver, Torrey Smith. Many fans are understandably already skeptical of this latest transaction from now official general manager, Marty Hurney.
While it is undeniable that the Panthers need to get quarterback Cam Newton some offensive weapons, it is unclear that Torrey Smith was the best option, or is going to be able to fill the shoes of WR1. It is yet to be seen what other free agent wide receivers will be getting paid around the league, but Smith comes with a $5 million price tag for the next two years, while Darryl Worley would have cost $650,000 in 2018. For many fans, that is a tough pill to swallow.

The Contribution of Legalised Casino Gambling to Singapore's Economic Growth
Pratyush Satyanarayan, University of Warwick
This research studies to what extent Singapore's casino gambling industry has promoted economic growth. I consider the industry's contribution from the opening of the first casino in February 2010 to 2017. Without the timely introduction of casino gambling, travel and tourism in Singapore may have stagnated and it would not be the growing sector that it is today, totally accounting for 8.8% of employment and 10.2% of GDP in 2017 according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. Despite the commercial success of casinos in some other countries, there are many negative social consequences. The Singapore blend is very unique in that it combines resorts with casinos – in what are called Integrated Resorts with a focus on tourism while reducing the negative ramifications on the local population. In my research, I aim to evaluate the costs and benefits of casino gambling from an economic standpoint and how the fusion with non-gambling activities makes Singapore special. By considering the integrated resorts in Singapore as a case study, I aim to apply my findings to other prospective nations. Countries like Japan who have recently lifted their long- standing ban would greatly benefit from understanding Singapore's experience.
Engineering of Intelligent Microbial Communities Mastering the Game of Tic-Tac-Toe Through Reinforcement Learning
Radu Racovita, University of Warwick
This research follows a Biophysics approach to engineer a novel type of neuromorphic computing in living bacteria, achieved via the development of a new genetic device that acts as a non-linear transcriptional logic gate able to adjust its gene expression based on its chemical history. This results in the foundation of a new type of artificial intelligence that is not based nor dependent on computer software but on the collective capacity of genetically modified bacterial ecosystems. This is done by engineering gene circuits that function as logic gates, which allow the bacteria to store analog information and to communicate through synthetic synapses. The investigation approach uses iterative cycles of computational Biophysics design, synthetic Biology construction and high-throughput characterisation to adjust the system so it can perform as a general-purpose modular memory machine. The inter-device communication allows for the design of an advanced cognitive computing hardware made of living cells able to be programmed through reinforcement learning. The ability of the microorganisms to behave as functional artificial neural networks is proven by the development of expertise in the game of Tic-Tac-Toe through self-play and reinforcement learning. The outcome will allow for the development of a precise experimental protocol for culturing the bacteria and for exploring their cognitive limits such as their ability to learn, attention and memory retention under different conditions. Furthermore, the experimental model can be re-designed to accommodate for further AI-specific implementations such as mastering more complex, well-known games (Hexapawn, AtariGO) or pattern generation and discrimination.
Cis-trans Isomerization of Nitrodienes
Biling Chen, Queensborough Community College, CUNY
We have previously reported syntheses of a number of pyrroles from nitrodienes, based on an approach developed by Cadogan and Sundberg towards synthesis of indoles and carbazoles. Our work involves the use of a Molybdenum catalyst which considerably improves the yield of the cyclization reaction. Our approach is novel in that we showed pyrroles can be synthesized, for the first time, from nitrodienes. The aim of our present work is to investigate if our methodology can be used to make other important multisubstituted pyrroles of medicinal importance.
Housing Cares
Mark Tria, Baruch College, City University of New York
Our research developed "Housing Cares,� an alternative funding model for low-income housing in Boston. Housing is a necessity, but over the last 10 years the Federal government has reduced spending on public housing by approximately 70 percent, putting an additional strain on state and local governments. There has not been a significant increase in the availably of low income housing, while demand has increased. We researched the problem using official publications, such as "Housing Boston 2020� published by the City of Boston and "The Greater Boston Housing Report Card 2017� published by Northeastern University's School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs. We used demographic information, historical insight, and data trends from these publications to determine population and income statistics as well as funding levels from various sources. Based on this information, we devised a solution in the form of a public/private partnership to mitigate effects of the reduction in public funding and to provide a recurring revenue stream to rehabilitate and maintain the housing units in our charge. We formed a model public benefit corporation to allow for this partnership while maintaining official oversight of the project. We modeled Housing Cares after the public benefit corporation NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation, which bridges city government and a totally private corporation, allowing us to share public assets with a private corporation while still maintaining public control. While this approach has been used to construct arenas and parks, we adapted it to housing, which we feel is a good fit.

The effects of land regulations on economic freedom and the relation to foreign direct investments in ultra high-density urban areas
Patrick Freyer, University of Warwick
Hong Kong does not sell land but instead only offers lease contracts, while creating artificial land scarcity, yet the country ranks number one on the economic freedom index. My research is questioning how such alternative housing and land regulations affect economic freedom and indirectly foreign direct investment. Is this model an exemplary solution to improve economic freedom in densely populated areas? Alternatively, is the regulation perhaps not fully understood and not taken into account when creating the economic freedom index? Or is the local regulation rather an intended tool to improve the ranking and attract investments? To find out, the aim is to research the policies' effect on public perception of the housing market, the degree to which financial models in the real estate market take these limitations into account, and the effect on foreign direct investments. These three research focuses will clarify the policies' effect on ordinary citizens and incentives for policymakers and investors.
To analyse the situation I'm taking a journalistic approach in reaching out to policymakers, real estate experts and investors to understand their different perspectives and relate them to the mathematic models which are applied in the financial sector. This research is made possible with the Warwick, Hong Kong exchange programme.
Forecasting Cryptocurrency Price Movements With Deep Learning and Sentiment Analysis
Alexander Milanovic, University of Warwick
The amount of available cryptocurrency news data is constantly growing, posing the question of whether this can be exploited to create profitable automated cryptocurrency trading systems. This research explores the viability of using deep learning models to forecast changes in cryptocurrency prices using a vast data set of news articles and social media posts. A robust sentiment analysis model is used to extract sentiment scores, converting the news data into a quantitative data set. Three different models are built with corresponding trading strategies to test their profitability using a large 7-month test period of unseen data. All three models perform very well, especially during volatile periods, with the best model achieving an overall return on trades of 287.9%, as well as 91.3% profitable trades during the test period. One of the key findings is that models incorporating news data greatly outperform those that do not, suggesting that the Efficient Markets Hypothesis may not be applicable to cryptocurrency trading. Additionally, incorporating technical analysis indicators into the data set seems to make a small impact on the profitability of the models, bringing into question their widespread popularity.
Origins of the Pacific War during World War II: Oil Embargo and the China Question
Elina Spule, Baruch College, City University of New York
Historians have offered different interpretations of the origins of the Pacific War. Interventionists have collided with revisionists over the ultimate cause of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. According to the Interventionists, the Pacific War started with a handful of Japanese militarists displaying such extreme aggression that the United States had to resist. Revisionists assert that the Axis powers did not endanger American security; Roosevelt knew that his policies would result in war.
There were numerous milestones that led to the Pacific War. My research provides an in-depth analysis of two: first, the freezing of Japanese assets and placing an oil embargo on Japan in August 1941 and, second, the US final requirements to Japan to reopen trade in November 1941. These two milestones are important because they highlight two pivotal elements for Japan - its dependence on foreign oil and its historic interest in China.
The first part of the research analyzes the oil embargo, while the second part of the research reviews the US requirements to Japan to restart trade. Both parts start with a factual overview, referencing sources by such historians as Basil Rausch, Wayne S. Cole, and Minoru Nomura. Next, the oil embargo and the ultimate demands are presented through the lenses of revisionists (Harry E. Barnes and William H. Chamberlain) and interventionists (Basil Rauch, Forrest Davis, and Herbert Feis). Finally, it is explained why the revisionist perspective is more persuasive: the US provoked Japan for the US to enter WWII through the "Asiatic Back Door.�
To what extent has lack of liquidity in emerging markets impacted foreign investment?
Dharrshan Ponniah, University of Warwick
Following the 2008 global financial crisis, investors have increasingly turned to emerging market investments to seek higher returns. However, lack of liquidity in such economies has been a source of barrier to foreign investment. In the next few years, 70% of global economic growth is expected to come from these emerging economies (IMF, 2019). Therefore, my presentation will examine how liquidity can be improved in these countries and the impact this will have on the global economy.
This work intends to develop understanding of liquidity in emerging markets, through comparative research of India, Colombia, South Africa and Brazil, to identify – (1) the causes of illiquidity in emerging economies. (2) the problems faced by foreign investors and (3) how improved financial infrastructure in these countries will improve future liquidity. By conducting this research, I hope to understand what companies and investors can do to improve liquidity.
Emerging markets provide investors with high risk and high returns, an alternative to the much lower interest rates found in developed countries. Accessing these markets can be tricky for investors due the lack of liquidity and this has had a large impact on foreign investment. However, as these countries grow and their financial infrastructure (i.e. Stock Market) develops, their markets will become increasingly accessible to foreigners.

On petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeal for the Seventh Circuit.
Mr. Justice WHITE, with whom Mr. Justice POWELL joins, dissenting. [424 U.S. 947 , 948] The question whether due process requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt in such proceedings has produced divergent conclusions in the Courts of Appeals. Compare Tippett v. Maryland, 436 F.2d 1153 (CA4 1971), cert. dismissed sub nom. Murel v. Baltimore City Criminal Court, 407 U.S. 355 (1972) (proof by a preponderance of the evidence), with In re Ballay, 157 U.S.App.D.C. 59, 482 F.2d 648 (1973), and United States ex rel. Stachulak v. Coughlin, 520 F.2d 931 (CA7 1975) ( proof beyond a reasonable doubt).* The question is important to the administration of justice in this country, and the Court should shoulder its responsibility to resolve the conflicting judgments.
Mr. Justice STEVENS took no part in the consideration or decision of this motion and petition.
[ Footnote * ] Several state courts are also at odds with the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. See, e. g., People v. Pembrock, 62 Ill.2d 317, 342 N.E. 2d 28 (1976); People v. Burnick, 14 Cal.3d 306, 121 Cal.Rptr. 488, 535 P. 2d 352 (1975); In re Andrews, Mass., 334 N.E.2d 15 (1975); In re Levias, 83 Wash.2d 253, 517 P.2d 588 (1973).

Anunastart is based on Gromf, but has some adjustments and improvements for better workflow.

Gromf is a WordPress starter theme based on [Roots](https://github.com/roots/roots) 7.0, using [Foundation](http://foundation.zurb.com) & [Gulp](http://gulpjs.com) instead of Bootstrap & Grunt.

## Gulp

To limit the need to stop and start Gulp to add bower-scripts and other stuff that is needed on all page requests, we've added a simpler method.

Add your scripts within the `vendors.json` file and they magically become part of your scripts.js file (if you've booted gulp of course).

## DOM Based Router

Roots has this thing they call DOM Based routing. In Anunastart you can route your stuff in the same way, except we are using this awesome jQuery-plugin called [jquery-dom-router](https://github.com/tormjens/jquery-dom-router).

It's kind of exactly the same, only it responds to live changes of classes on your `<body>`-tag and the syntax is way sexier. Check it out!

The Government is modernizing New Zealand's tax system to make it simple and improve the administration of PAYE. A new Tax Bill was introduced by the Ministry during April 2017 on Payday Reporting requirement. However, this legislation is yet to receive Royal Assent.
The proposed process will be digital for employers. The interactions are in the form of XML requests from the user to IR and vice versa. As part of this exercise, Inland Revenue has proposed that employers would no longer be required to file an employer monthly schedule EMS, instead they would file PAYE information on a payday basis as of April 2019.
Our Position Statement has been revised to include these legislative updates. The document can be found on My Oracle Support, Document ID 2220582.1. We request customers to review the position statement to keep up-to-date.
Under the proposed changes, employers would be able to file their PAYE information each payday from 1 April 2018 and would be required to do so from 1 April 2019. I have a client who has elected to start from 1 April 2019 and another from 1 April 2018.
How will both options be catered for?
We are in preparation for a first Special Interest Group call on this topic.
A date has not been set yet, but I expect it will happen some time in February.
Once a date has been confirmed, we will be sending out invites.
If you want to make sure you don't miss the announcement, you can share your contact details with me, paul.smit@oracle.com.


The Negotiable Instruments (Amendment) Act aims to amend the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, asking the drawer of a cheque that has been dishonoured to pay interim compensation to the complainant. In case the drawer of the cheque is acquitted in the case, the complainant has to repay the drawer the interim compensation with interest. The repayment has to be made within 60 days from the date of the court order.

I'm an attorney and legal marketing professional. As an attorney that practices in the area of personal injury lawyer, I understand the need to market one's legal practice. Early in my legal career, I saw the internet as an opportunity to market myself. But I became highly disenchanted by all the self-proclaimed "lawyer marketing gurus" and "top" or "best" legal marketing companies on the internet -- People that play fast and loose in the eyes of professional ethics. Instead, I turned to own abilities, incorporating search engine optimization and other digital marketing techniques I honed while affiliate marketing during...

Need legal help with a business law matter?
Business laws include all municipal, state, and federal laws that regulate businesses and commerce. Some industries, such as finance, face specific laws and regulations that apply to those in the field. Businesses of all types also must conform to many regulations that apply across the board, such as environmental regulations and advertising laws.
A business lawyer can help you address the myriad legal issues that arise when you are starting a new venture, operating an established company, or winding up or selling a business.
Business lawyers handle a broad spectrum of legal issues that confront companies. For new ventures, a business lawyer can help with business formation decisions, including selecting the proper business form, such a partnership, LLC or corporation, or addressing financial compliance issues when raising capital. In addition, business lawyers can offer advice when reviewing leases, purchase agreements, and other types of contracts. Other issues covered in this practice area include employee compensation and benefits, building relationships with independent contractors and other entities, and compliance with relevant advertising regulations.
While most business lawyers deal in transactional work (contracts and forms), some also litigate business disputes that arise from transactional work. Business litigation attorneys may handle issues such as breach of contract claims, consumer class action lawsuits, and wrongful termination claims.
Business judgment rule: a presumption that directors making a business decision, not involving self-interest, act on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that their actions are in the corporation's best interest.
Pierce the veil: A court no longer affords a shareholder of a corporation the protection of limited liability when the corporation has neglected corporate formalities and intermingled assets between the shareholder and the corporation.


Liceum Ogolnoksztalcace im. P.Skargi in Grojec (L.O. Grojec) is an upper secondary school preparing students, aged 15 to 18, for university education. The school is one of the oldest ones in the district of Grojec and in the whole Mazowiecke Province. It was founded in 1912. There are 50 teachers and about 600 students in the school. The secondary school students come from different social backgrounds. A large number of students come from rural areas and even though they are ambitious and well behaved most of them need to be strongly motivated to take an active part in school life. Despite the fact that there are a few organizations existing at school (e.g. Red Cross, Volunteers' Club, Film Discussion Club or Students' Sport Club), they still need additional, multicultural activities so that they could be more actively involved in the school life and cooperate more willingly, understanding the importance of both their cultural roots and respect for different social and cultural backgrounds. There are only a few students of ethnic minorities, which means that the school as well as local communities need to be made more familiar with the issue of migrations. The school is situated in a small town (about 17 thousand inhabitants), which makes it easier to be in touch with students' parents in order to solve problems immediately. The students feel the need of, and have deep interest in, learning about other cultures and making friends with students from abroad.


I am not at work this week, being out in Illinois for Jasig's Fall 2009 Unconference. If you've glanced at my twitter feed you can tell I enjoy collaborating with people in this group.
I'm sure there was more but I am at a conference, and between that and flights that's still an aggressive list.
I finally moved my main site to a server in New Jersey (thanks Linode), which took me way too long to get to. Other sites will just have to wait.
Along with the move, I finally got up to date with WordPress too. With so much change I felt it time to get a new theme as well, so enjoy.

The paper is intended to outline the importance of the development of low-cost indoor testing facilities for short term testing and evaluating of thermal performance and efficiency of domestic Solar Water Heaters (SWHs) produced on the local market. The facilities would be used by the local manufacturers for testing and evaluating the systems and the components at different stages of the manufacturing process. Case studies with results for a typical locally manufactured SWH for both outdoor and indoor tests are presented and compared.


We are executing this round as a small top-up on our last funding round. This additional funding is aimed to provide us further cushion and leverage in raising our first institutional round.
Today parents are constantly juggling with resources and stressed with the overwhelming flow of information; and hence, parents are perpetually anxious about missing the right thing.
Imagine if parents could hire a Personal Assistant that organises the boring bits, analyses the overwhelming information and narrows down to relevant actions and information?
Nurturey is the intelligent PA in the pocket that will constantly assist parents in their journey from pregnancy to early years of parenting.
To bring millions of hours worth of parenting experience and expertise to parents' fingertips.
Globally, Nurturey aims to be the 'go-to' platform for parents, as signing up on Nurturey would be one of the first steps parents will take when they conceive.
Digital innovations are moving from 'search' (reactive) to 'assist' (proactive) based solutions – and we believe technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Big Data are fuelling this change.
Nurturey is embracing such cutting edge technologies to bring the benefits of this shift to the Parents.
- Employs proprietary algorithms to analyse tons of information to narrow down to the most relevant actions and information for parents.
- Keeps parents up to date with the trends, benchmarks etc.
- Automatically organises and syncs information such as data, calendar and tasks.
- Proactively plans and manage activities.
- Informs and guides when something becomes relevant or due.
- Has creative tools to build meaningful and comprehensive memories.
With little funds, we believe we have delivered significant amount of progress and output.
a) Launched first versions of both iPhone and Android apps by Sep '16. Desktop webapp also available.
b) Tested Alexa use case recently. In process to make it publicly live.
a) Our total user base is in 5 figures.
b) Sign-ups/ downloads from all our key markets, i.e. India, UK and US. Overall, sign ups from 60+ countries.
a) We have a buzzing FB page with a fan base of over 150,000 people globally.
b) Every month: we reach over 1million parents and generate over 170K post engagements on social media.
c) We run an engaging blog page (blog.nurturey.com). We have had more than 3.5 million visits from 350K unique users.
d) Received print and TV media coverage.
- Current set of features are free. However, we are looking to more than double the number of features and some will be in the priced category.
- We aim for 5 -10% premium subscriptions.
We have implemented and increased the number of algorithms that connect parents to resources that start to generate Affiliate marketing revenues for us.
- Our algorithms would connect parents to the most relevant free/paid resources (sold by us or by 3rd party).
- We will aim to make commission revenues of approx. 20-30% on paid transactions.
- e.g., purchase of psychologist consultations or e-learning products.
We are NOT aiming to implement advertisements based business models.
Additional funding will be deployed in the same proportion as planned in the last round.
"Consumer the King and Product the Queen".
-	Drive user base expansion and engagement.
-	Implement and experiment with revenue models.
1) 29% - User acquisition.
3) 40% - Product enhancement.
4) 3% - Server support.
5) 10% - Key person salaries.
6) 6% - General overheads.
a) Parents who are in pregnancy stage.
b) Parents with kids in the age range of 0-8.
a) We are positioning Nurturey as a global platform, especially where the English language works.
b) Our initial brand building efforts are in the UK, US and India market.
c) India is a key market for us, as due to its large youth (parents and soon to be parents). If we don't build early traction, a copycat competitor will.
d) Currently, we are getting users from 60+ countries.
a) UK: approx. 4-5 million families in our target range.
b) India (top-25 Indian cities): There may be as many as 10-12 million middle-class families in the target range.
c) US: Approx 25 million in the target range.
Just the first three markets itself represent a segment size of over 40 million families in the target range.
1) We estimate market size is approx. £25 billion for UK, US and India only, and growing rapidly.
- This is not a generic market size. It's our estimate of actual total revenue opportunities relevant to our monetisation strategy.
a) While Nurturey is meant for regular use of parents, one of the primary monetisation strategy is based on Nurturey acting as agent to enable sales of 3rd party products/services to parents 'on-line'.
b) Hence, market is based on commission earning opportunities, on only non-school spend online by parents.
a) We estimate that there are more than 9-10 million daily active users in our target base.
b) A total of 40 million users in our target base.
- Market directly to primary/preparatory schools to whom we will provide our solutions.
- Ads on parenting websites such as Mumsnet and Babycenter, which have many unique users per month each in target age group.
- A parent refers Nurturey to another parent or creates a group inviting other parents to join.
As it is difficult to define scope of features for such products, we can't pin point to a specific competition with direct/ significant overlap of product vision with Nurturey.
a) Piecemeal solution providers or tools: Solutions such as kids photo up-load apps, on-line family calendars, milestone trackers etc.
- However, parents find it hard to manage several solutions, and much rather prefer a single platform to manage their lives around kids.
- Companies such as Babycenter, Mumsnet or e-learning platforms would be our complementaries.
- Some school softwares have extension for parents. However these solutions are aimed at school-parent communication.
