Tennessee Vols AD Phillip Fulmer receives four-year contract worth $1M annually
Blake Toppmeyer
Tennessee athletic director Phillip Fulmer has received a four-year contract worth more than $1 million annually, the university announced Thursday.
Fulmer had been working as an at-will employee since replacing John Currie on Dec. 1.
"I think anybody that knows me reasonably well can tell I'm excited about doing this," Fulmer said Thursday. "I was excited about doing it before. I have to balance that. I don't want to be here 18 hours a day like I did coaching. I don't have to be. There's good people around me. But I'm going to spend the time and the effort to get it to where I want it to be. I'm committed to that."
Fulmer said he doesn't intend to make any major shakeups within the senior athletic department staff that he inherited.
Fulmer's contract will run through Dec. 31, 2021. His annual salary is comprised of his base salary ($300,000), supplemental pay ($600,000) and a yearly retention bonus ($100,000) that's due if he remains AD on Dec. 31 each year throughout the duration of his contract. And he'll receive $40,000 annually in compensation for expenses.
He's also eligible for up to $300,000 annually in performance bonuses. Those bonus figures will be determined by Tennessee's graduation success rate and its standing in the Directors' Cup.

"Phillip has been a great partner over the last four months and I commend him for the work he has done with our student-athletes, coaches and staff," Chancellor Beverly Davenport said in a news release. "Phillip has been connected to the University of Tennessee and its athletics program for more than 40 years and he understands the expectations we have for our athletics department."
Fulmer's buyout, if he were to be terminated without cause, is substantially less lucrative than the buyout for Currie, who was owed $5.5 million when he was ousted Dec. 1 with 4½ years remaining on his contract. Currie and UT reached a $2.5 million settlement last month.
If Fulmer were to be fired without cause before Jan. 1, 2021, he'd be owed 50 percent of the remaining base salary and supplemental pay he's owed. The buyout drops to 33 percent of his remaining base salary and supplemental pay beginning in 2021.
Fulmer would face no penalty if he terminated the contract.
Fulmer had been working under an at-will agreement worth $575,000 annually since taking over for Currie. Fulmer's contract has a retroactive start date of Dec. 1. He's owed about $125,000 in back-pay to compensate for the difference in his at-will salary and his new salary figure.
Davenport replaced Currie amid his chaotic football coaching search that had become a national punchline.
Fulmer took the reins of the search and hired Jeremy Pruitt, who was Alabama's defensive coordinator. Since then, Fulmer hired volleyball coach Eve Rackham and awarded contract extensions to soccer coach Brian Pensky and track and field coach Beth Alford-Sullivan.
Fulmer, the former Vols football coach who led UT to a national title during the 1998 season, had been a candidate for athletic director when Tennessee opted to hire Currie from Kansas State. Currie's tenure lasted eight months.
After not receiving the AD post last spring, Fulmer was hired in June as a special adviser to UT President Joe DiPietro.

Tony Massaro Guitar Orchestra – Who Are These Guys?
Tony Massaro Guitar Orchestra
Who Are These Guys?
by Emily Schneider at 11 June 2020, 6:59 AM
With identities hidden behind superhero personas, TONY MASSARO GUITAR ORCHESTRA swings in with a crash landing. Not much is said about the band other than they are 5 guitarists and one drummer and they, of course, play instrumental music. It lands in the Melodic Rock side although the band describes their sound as 'Cinematic Rock Guitar' and no extended soloing. I was reluctant before diving into fittingly titled album "Who are These Guys?"
The opening track "The Edifice of Sound" along with "Transposition" were both just okay. The melodies were fine, but neither really had much that grabbed my attention."Meditation in a Toolshed" and "March of the Wildflowers" had more of a 70's Psych Rock vibe with the melodies and play styles. You could certainly frolic around in a field of flowers to these whimsical tunes. "A Turbulent Ride" did a lot more interesting things, considering there's 5 guitarists in this band and there was a lot of uniformity on the tracks previous to this one. This one felt like a short story with the melody and time changes, plus the variety of tunings and play styles. It was fun to hear the different layers and textures like they mentioned in their bio online.
"Ambient Note Garden" and "The Fig Tree" are both very short but dreamy numbers with some hazy sounding reverb. I could listen to a full-length song (meaning 3 minutes or longer) in this particular style. "False Prophets" has a cool, futuristic vibe with the added synthy effects. There was a whole space-age/cosmic feeling in the tuning of the guitars plus the melody. "Stranger in a Strange Land" clocks in at just under 7 minutes and it's a quaint soundscape with more of that dreamy, hazy reverb I mentioned I like. This is a good song to just get lost in thought to, it has that just right amount of ambiance.
Overall, this album was certainly unique. I don't think I've ever heard a band comprised of a quintet of guitars and a drummer before, truth be told. In some ways, it was interesting to hear so many layers of guitar when they were each playing another melody or had a different tuning. I both liked and disliked how almost every song sounded really different from one another. It kind of blocked the flow of the album at some points. I did like hearing a handful of different decade influences, particularly the 70's Psych Rock and that late 90's into early 2000's Alt-Rock in the riffs and melodies though. Also, the short songs were like cool miniature snapshots you could listen to, unlike the longer songs that were rather… dull. There simply wasn't enough going on melodically to keep my attention in most of their longer than 3 minute tracks. (although I liked "Stranger in a Strange Land" well enough). I also love a great guitar solo though and this album intentionally left solos out, so what can you do? It's still a solid enough album without; props for doing something different in the Instrumental Melodic Rock category.

Q: Display custom post type using a custom meta date but retain scheduling functions in WP I have a custom post type that displays depending on the custom post date (an event date) but now I cannot use the WordPress scheduling that is built in because posts show in relation to a custom meta date provided in the post.
Is there a way to add an argument into my array to check the post date so that it only displays the custom post if the post date has passed?
Here is my current code that does exactly as needed
$today = date('Y-m-d');
            $args = array(
                   'post' => 'ID',
                   'post_type' => 'foodswaps',
                   'posts_per_page' => 3,
                   'meta_key' => '00.event-date',
                   'meta_value' => $today,
                   'meta_compare' => '>=',
                   'orderby' => 'meta_value',
                   'order' => 'ASC'
            );

I have spent the last day looking for an answer but haven't found anything or any similar cases so any pointers and directional nudges would be appreciated!

A: Try adding:
'post_status' => 'publish',
E.g.
$today = date('Y-m-d');
            $args = array(
                   'post' => 'ID',
                   'post_type' => 'foodswaps',
                   'posts_per_page' => 3,
                   'post_status' => 'publish', //  <-----------
                   'meta_key' => '00.event-date',
                   'meta_value' => $today,
                   'meta_compare' => '>=',
                   'orderby' => 'meta_value',
                   'order' => 'ASC'
            );

That should then show only posts with the status published.

A prefix is a letter or a group of letters attached to the beginning of a word (or word root) that partly indicates its meaning. For example, the word prefix itself begins with the prefix pre-, which generally means before or in front of.
We do need to be careful: the same prefix may be spelled in more than one way (pre- and pro-, for example). Some prefixes (such as in-) have more than one meaning (in this case, not and into). Being able to recognise prefixes can help us to build our vocabularies.
Also, in words ending in silent -e (such as use and adore), the final -e may be dropped before a suffix that begins with a vowel (as in usable and adorable). As with all spelling rules, there are exceptions of course.
When it comes to using descriptive words, variety is key. Challenge your pupils to come up with new ways to appeal to their reader's senses. Effective use of descriptive words will paint a vivid picture in the reader's mind and make the writing impossible to put down.
Other Ways to Say Game – use the lists of words resource.
The Other ways to say resource has been designed to be as flexible as possible. For pupils working at or below Level 3, you could provide lists of words and allow them to sort the words into groups that are similar.
The words are listed in groups so that you have one alternative for each of the lead words in each list. This way, you can control how many words individual pupils are being asked to work with at once.
Level 4 pupils should be able to work independently on this activity, but may not get as many examples of each word as pupils working at 5 and above.


This drink is amazing. It will help you lose 10 pounds in a week much faster, and in the same time it will boost and strengthen your immune system.
The main ingredient in this super drink is ginger. Ginger root is probably one of the healthiest foods on the planet.

Many people who want to lose weight much faster should use this amazing root, because ginger is also very useful and effective in burning fat and it speeds up the weight loss process. The best thing about this root is that ginger creates a feeling of fullness, which means that after you consume ginger – you won't reach for sweet or salty snacks.
Just follow the simple instructions – first, you need to boil 1.5 liters of water. Then, add chopped ginger root in it (5 cm long ginger root). You need to strain the mixture before you drink it. You should drink this mixture every day, for 6 months. You will be amazed by the results. You will lose weight much faster and your immune system will be strengthened – so it can fight all infections and viruses in your organism.

Brighton Fringe Festival
May 20, 2011 The Badger 0
Brighton in all its summer glory during the festival month of May Photo:rcpsych.ac.uk
This year is the Brighton Fringe Festival's fifth anniversary, and it's back and bigger than ever! Setting out to "stimulate, educate and entertain a wide audience by providing a showcase for diverse art forms", the festival now boasts the accolade of third largest fringe in the world.
From the 7 to 30 May Brighton's theatres, clubs, bars, parks, shops and even homes will host a wide variety of events. Running alongside Brighton Festival, the Fringe provides a platform for artists of any medium, generating a rich mix of music, comedy, film, dance and more.
In contrast to the main festival, which selects and hires its performers, the Fringe has an open-access policy, so with no selection criteria for participants, anyone is free to put on an event. The Fringe has been running in various forms since the birth of Brighton Festival in 1967, but it wasn't until 2006 that it became entirely independent.
So what's on this year? Those looking for a laugh should 'Small Space', a "poignant and funny" performance centred around personal storytelling. For the more serious, intimate play 'This is Just to Say' covers manipulation, Britishness, love and winning. On the quirkier side of things, why not take a peek through Oxfam's shop window to see 'Front', a play about a couple's relationship, or call into Komedia to catch 'The Woods', an evening of puppetry and surprises which sees the venue turned into a forest?
For music lovers there's plenty on offer: Reggae fans can see the "highly regarded" 'Roots Garden Rhythm Force Live Showcase', bringing you UK Dub and Reggae producer Nick Manasseh along with Bob Skeng, Ras Zacharri, Dark Angel and support act Resonators. For something more flamboyant, two of Brighton's biggest club nights, Carnivalesque and Balkaneasca, are coming together for an Ali-Baba and the Forty Thieves-themed night with live acts and a belly-dance workshop. Those looking for something more relaxed can catch some Folk in the form of singer-songwriter Martha Tilston or enjoy tea and scones on the beach to the jazzy sound of 'The Swing Thing inc. Tea Dance'.
The open-access nature of the Fringe attracts all kinds of weird and wonderful performances. More unusual shows include 'Anima', a physical theatre, piece inspired by light, called "dreamlike as well as surreal" by the Guardian and 'Genteel Tipple Through Gin in Literature', an hour of extracts from gin-inspired literature. There's even room for a circus: the 'Netherlands National Circus' puts a Dutch spin on a distinctly English tradition, comprising clowns, acrobats and illusions.

35 Medical Societies Gather for Second Annual National Obesity Summit
GAINESVILLE, Fla., Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Representatives from 35 major health and medical organizations including the American Diabetes Association (ADA), American Medical Association (AMA), American Heart Association (AHA), American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) convened for a second annual summit in Chicago to identify opportunities for collaboration in treating obesity. "The National Obesity Summit on the Provision of Care for the Obese Patient" was hosted by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).
"We represent many different specialties, backgrounds and perspectives, but we're all really treating the same disease," said John M. Morton, MD, MPH, ASMBS President, who served as moderator for the Summit, which was held in September. "That's why there is intense and growing interest in how we can work together to better help our patients with obesity and related diseases. Obesity is the medical equivalent of economic inflation – obesity increases costs and decreases the effectiveness of medical interventions. We are paying for obesity already. Let's coordinate and provide care the right way."
Specialists in obesity medicine, bariatric surgery, orthopaedics, diabetes, heart disease, reproductive medicine, sleep medicine, anesthesiology, nutrition, behavioral health, dentistry and oncology discussed prevention and treatment strategies for obesity, patient access to treatment, care coordination and how to further engage patients themselves in the treatment of obesity. Representatives from the insurance industry also participated.
"Treating obesity is central to the management of type 2 diabetes," said William Herman, MD, MPH, who represented the American Diabetes Association. "Medical care is so siloed. We need to move from a piecemeal approach to one that is more comprehensive."
Recently the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association issued a joint scientific statement on cardiovascular disease in adults with type 2 diabetes, which for the first time includes discussion and recommendations on bariatric and metabolic surgery, focuses on blood pressure and blood glucose control, cholesterol management, aspirin therapy, and weight management through lifestyle, pharmacological and surgical approaches.
Another group that is becoming increasingly focused on obesity treatment is the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the world's leading professional organization representing physicians who care for people with cancer. Last October, ASCO called for increased education, research and advocacy "to reduce the toll of obesity, both as a leading cause of cancer and complication in the care of cancer patients."
Jennifer Ligibel, MD, who leads the ASCO Energy Balance Working Group, presented data at the Summit that illustrated a strong connection between obesity and cancer, a connection she says is not well recognized, especially in the general population.
"Over the next 20 years, obesity is likely to be the most preventable cause of cancer," Dr. Ligibel said. Dr. Ligibel told the group she envisions potential collaborations in research, education and policy activities.
Collaboration was the key word as the group discussed how they could work together to improve patient care through a multidisciplinary, comprehensive approach to obesity.
"The AASM recognizes that healthy sleep helps prevent obesity, and that helping our patients with obesity lose weight is an integral part of sleep apnea treatment. This conference is a great step towards whole person healthcare," said Timothy I. Morgenthaler, MD, Mayo Clinic Center for Sleep Medicine and past president, American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).
"We are thankful to be included in the Summit. The dental office can play an important role in assessing for and monitoring chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, which are significantly linked to obesity," said Lindsey Robinson, DDS, who represented the American Dental Association. "Dental care professionals can be an important part of the multidisciplinary care team to manage patients with chronic diseases and reduce obesity prevalence in society."
Many said the AMA's classification of obesity as a disease brings a new critical focus and sense of urgency regarding obesity prevention and treatment to the general public, healthcare professionals, payers and policymakers.
"It's important we work together with physicians at all levels," said Mary Anne McCaffree, MD, a member of the AMA Board of Trustees, who said the AMA will focus on prediabetes detection and treatment, as well as detecting hypertension at its early states, as part of a strategic initiative. "We do none of this alone, but in a collaborative effort."
Stacy Brethauer, MD and Shanu Kothari, MD from the ASMBS served as co-chairs of the summit. Other ASMBS representatives in attendance included Raul Rosenthal, MD, Ninh Nguyen, MD, Alfons Pomp, MD Chris Bauer, MSN, RN, CBN and Karen Flanders, MSN, ARNP, CBN.
Planned activities from the Summit include the development of joint guidelines and symposia, a Healthy Hospital Initiative, an obesity treatment app, an educational curriculum, and collaboration on a legislative agenda, among other initiatives.

Invisalign orthodontic treatment is a technologically advanced, comfortable, convenient way to straighten your teeth – without metal! These clear aligners are BPA-free, thin, lightweight, and discreet. Although many people think of Invisalign as a purely cosmetic treatment, the technology is continually becoming more sophisticated, able to treat cases that are more complex.
The treatment time and results of Invisalign are comparable to traditional orthodontic treatment.
Katie received the Invisalign treatment from the team at Palmer Distinctive Dentistry. She didn't comply with wearing her retainer when she had braces in the past, and so she came back as an adult to have her treatment completed. She said treatment was easy and convenient, and she suggests it for anyone who is a candidate. Thank you, Katie, and enjoy your beautiful smile for years to come!.
Oral hygiene – Because these clear aligners are removable, you can brush and floss normally. Food particles and bacteria can become trapped behind traditional braces, encouraging the development of gum disease and tooth decay.
Gum health – It is well known that straighter teeth are easier to clean, and therefore decreasing the risk of gum disease. According to research presented at the AADR (American Association for Dental Research) in San Antonio, the health of periodontal tissues (gums) may improve during orthodontic treatment with Invisalign aligners.
Nutrition – There are no food restrictions, because the aligners can be removed during meals. You won't have to trade "healthy" for "easy to eat," or give up the pleasure of enjoying your favorite foods. Correcting bite alignment can improve chewing efficiency, allowing your body to absorb more nutrients.
Convenience – In addition to easy oral hygiene and eating, you will have fewer appointments to keep. Traditional braces require frequent adjustment appointments, as you progress. With Invisalign, you simply dispose of your current aligner, and begin using the next one in the series.
Call (864) 332-4113 today and schedule a consultation to find out if convenient, healthy, beautiful Invisalign treatment is right for you.
Patients in Greenville, SC and the surrounding area have another choice when it comes to orthodontics. Dr. John Palmer of Palmer Distinctive Dentistry offers Invisalign invisible braces to help patients achieve the smiles they want and deserve.
They reposition the teeth without causing the embarrassment that traditional braces do. There are no metal brackets, sharp wires, or rubber bands. Instead, the clear plastic alignment trays correct alignment and bite.
The alignment trays are typically more comfortable than traditional braces. Invisalign trays are made of plastic. They are smooth and don't irritate the gums or mouth tissue.
The trays can be removed when eating or for brushing. This helps patients keep the trays and their mouths healthy and free from a buildup of bacteria while also allowing them to eat the foods they love. With traditional braces, many foods are off limits because they are sticky or hard and could cause the brackets to pull away from the teeth or the wires to break.
If you want to improve your smile, call Palmer Distinctive Dentistry today. Dr. Palmer will meet with you, examine your teeth, and discuss your expected results. Then he can determine if Invisalign braces are the right treatment option for you.

A joint permafrost study on the Fuji volcano (3776 m a.s.l., MAAT = −6°C), the highest mountain in Japan, has progressed (A. Ikeda, G.. Iwahana, T. Sueyoshi and R. Nishii). A 10 m-deep borehole was dug on the summit area, to monitor permafrost temperature. The ground temperature in the borehole was much lower than that in the 3-m deep boreholes dug on the same summit area in 2008. On the summit area, temporal variations in ground temperature strongly depend on the local topography and composition.

In Alaska, a project named '2004 Forest Fire Impacts to Hydrological Cycles, Permafrost and Eco Systems in Central Alaska' has progressed since 2005 in order to monitor permafrost conditions after a severe wildfire (K. Harada, K. Narita and K. Saito). In summer 2010, observations were carried out at the Kougarok site near Nome, Alaska in August, and thaw depths were measured from the ground surface. Measurements of surface roughness were also conducted to compare with the satellite data. Ground temperatures have been measured with data loggers since 2007. Vegetation surveys were also made in order to clarify the recovery after wildfire at burned sites. Continuous data of thaw depth and ground temperature could be obtained and the effect of the wildfire to permafrost condition and vegetation recovery will be clarified.
In Svalbard, a monitoring campaign has continued in order to understand the dynamics of patterned ground (including ice-wedge polygons, mudboils and hummocks) and a polar rock glacier with a variety of methods (N. Matsuoka and T. Watanabe), collaborated with UNIS (H.H. Christiansen) and University of Oslo (O. Humlum). Detailed (2D and 3D) geophysical sounding was applied to illustrate subsurface structures under the patterned ground and temporal variation in the subsurface moisture regime (T. Watanabe). The study sites were demonstrated to the EUCOPIII attendants during the half-day excursion in Adventdalen.
Tatsuya Watanabe presents his observations on mudboil dynamics during the EUCOPIII half-day excursion in Adventdalen.
The Japanese Permafrost Association had a two-day annual meeting in January 2011 in Sapporo. About 30 scientists and students participated and presented their newest results. The meeting involved a memorial lecture on 'Glacial and periglacial studies over 20 years' by Prof. Kazuomi Hirakawa, who is officially retiring from Hokkaido University in March 2011, and closed with discussion on an interdisciplinary project on Arctic permafrost.

On Saturday when BJP president Amit Shah spoke of the saffron alliance winning 45 out of 48 seats in Maharashtra, his colleague and Maharashtrea Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis struck a contrary note, when he said that the BJP would contest all the 48 seats in the State on its own strength.
Ruling out the possibility of a tie-up with the Shiv Sena, Fadnavis – who shared the party platform with Shah — said in Pune said: "The BJP will contest all the 48 seats in the state. We will win all the three seats – Pune, Shirur and Baramati – this belt. We are confident that Lotus will bloom in Baramati ( the home constituency of Pawats) this time".
Fadnavis' statement should be seen in the light of the delay in the commencement of the seat-sharing talks with the Shiv Sena. On January 28, both the Shiv Sena and BJP had indicated that they might contest the Lok Sabha polls as an alliance. However, there has not been much of a movement in terms of ground breaking for seat sharing talks between them.
It may be recalled that in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls which the two saffron parties had contested as an alliance, the BJP and Shiv Sena had contested 26 and 22 seats respectively in the State. The two parties had put up a spectacular performance in the polls by together winning 40 seats (BJP-22 and Sena-18 seats) out of total 48 seats.

RTI On Wheel Campaign :
This extensive work was done with Right to Information (RTI) applications. In the month of August, 2012, a campaign called "RTI on Wheels" was held where SAHR WARU team members went to most of the areas (Ramol, Vatva, Bombay Hotel, Mehmedabad and surrounding villages) where they spread awareness on Right to Information. People from 26 subareas (1045 people) participated in this campaign. In earlier Project Phase in our areas SAHR WARU have conducted workshops and have given information on RTI. The result of which is in the areas where SAHR WARU works. A signature campaign was also done to show evidence of participation.
Applications were filed from various sub areas and on issues such as old age pension, ration card not being provided according to the rules, conversion of Antyodaya to APL card etc. From the month of August till September, there were 29 (21 individual and 8 group) RTI applications filed. Out of which mostly (50%) problems have been solved in the areas during that project period itself and others were solved during the next project period.
Ours "RTI on Wheels" Campaign received lot participation, enthusiasm even from men and young children in schools. They were happy with the response from different authorities.
Stakeholder Linkages :
A new strategy was adopted by SAHR WARU during the project phase of April 2012 to September 2012, wherein government functionaries such as Anganwadi workers and ASHA workers were approached to act as a linking force for SAHR WARU and the women members from different areas. These government functionaries will help SAHR WARU's women members understand their (Anganwadi and ASHA workers) roles and aid SAHR WARU since they are a direct link to the government officers and departments.
As a basis to implement this new strategy, the SAHR WARU team members went to various different areas and obtained lists of ASHA workers and Anganwadi workers. Through these lists, the team members could build the ground relationship with these functionaries.
SAHR WARU got the information about Education with the visits of Aanganwadis and primary and Secondary schools. With this Visit our main purpose is that SAHR WARU's identity arises in whole village and with the help of this matter we gave the information about our performance and how SAHR WARU works in all areas and sub areas.
Rapport building with the stake holders in the selected constituencies has been a crucial and very important step to enhance access of basic rights of communities, due to this strategic linkage developed we enlisted community support in conducting peace related programs, meetings and trainings and also getting help of Government functionaries to get the filed applications processed so that community can avail of their basic human rights and have benefits of social security schemes where without SAHR WARU's intervention and support they were facing severe exclusion and discrimination. This strategy has a strong positive impact on SAHR WARU's work. Many of the SAHR WARU's Peace & Justice committee members got confidence and have started to visit the various government departments to access their basic human rights and social security schemes by themselves.
Work on Basic Rights
To improve standard of living of the communities by supporting them in procuring Basic Rights of safe Drinking water and Sanitation and Health and Education Facilities
Group Applications for Basic Amenities are submitted to respective Government Departments by the community members in consultation with the Peace and Justice Committee members and SAHR WARU team.
If numerous attempts have been made at following up applications without any results, an application is filed under the Right To Information Act, 2005.
During last three year of project period, SAHR WARU has filed total 385 applications to various government departments for accessing different government schemes for the committee members in the working areas of SAHR WARU, among them 80% applications has been processed.
SAHR WARU has also formed Self Help Group in Vatva area of 10 committee members by the joint efforts with Urban Community Development office of Ahmedabad, right now we are proceeding to form many Self Help Groups in all the working areas both Urban – Rural.

Q: How to find the number of subsets with different sum in a set? Given a set of $N$ distinct elements, it is well known that there is $2^N$ different subsets.
There is any way to accurately calculate the number of which those subsets holds exactly the same sum? i.e:
give the set {40,10,30,80,20,20} there are more than 4 subsets having the same sum:

*

*40+10+30 = 80

*40+20+20 = 80

*40+40 = 80

*80 = 80

*...

I'm not interested on know the final sums, just if there is a straight way to calculate the potential count of different sum values in all subsets.

A: The example suggests you are concerned with forming sums, possibly with repeated summands, by drawing from a multiset of positive integers.  In this respect you are asking about the size of the feasible set of an integer programming problem, which is (without other assumptions) NP-hard.
This is an interesting problem, one that has been discussed previously at MathOverflow and at StackOverflow (but not on Math.SE as far as I could tell).
Let me offer an argument why we should not expect a straightforward useful formula for these counts, at least not one that can be evaluated in polynomial time.  Let us restrict attention for the moment to sets of $N$ distinct values (no repetitions, so a strict set and not a multiset is involved).
If there were a "simple" (polynomial time in size of inputs) way to determine how many subset-sums occur, then we would certainly know, by comparing with the maximum possible value $2^N$, whether two distinct subsets give the same sum.  This is a decision problem introduced by Woeginger and Yu (1992) in "On the equal-subset-sum problem", which they showed to be NP-complete.  Therefore no formula evaluable in polynomial time is possible, unless P=NP. [A more recent paper by Cieliebak et al (2008) summarizes the complexity of several variants of equal-subset-sum, and moreover it is not behind a "paywall".]
Below I sketch an algorithm more sophisticated than simple "brute force" consideration of all possible $2^N$ (multi)subsets.  I will then add an example and compare my suggestion to the interesting dynamic programming approach sketched in an answer to the StackOverflow post linked above.
One way to count the possible sums is to construct them all systematically by how many summands are used (counting the allowed repetitions afforded by the multiset).  That is, the empty subset gives a zero sum.  The single summand sums are precisely the distinct elements of the multiset.  The distinct sums do not vary with the order of the summands, so we can systematically construct the distinct sums of $n$ summmands by extracting the distinct $n$-multisubsets of the given multiset in (say) lexicographic order.
An algorithm for doing so was described in this recent Answer.
It is then necessary to redact those $n$-summand sums which agree with results obtained by the same or fewer number of summands, and merge those which are novel.  We will eliminate duplicates most efficiently if we maintain the list of sums achieved in order.  While (as you note) lexicographic generation does not always produce new sums in ascending order, it does tend to produce long runs of ascending order.
The "dynamic programming approach" sketched in the SO Answer alluded to above proceeds instead by recursively including the available elements from smallest to largest.  We only need bits up to the sum of all elements to record which of these respective sums are achieved or not.  This is a pseudo-polynomial time (and space) algorithm.

Thread: Is there someone who already build a SQL query to load base prices in the P4106?
Items mass upload is ok, costs also (via interop).
One way to this is the following. It is very tough to just explain in words and without knowing what tools you have, so I hope this helps. It also depends how many unique branches, customers, dates are in your price list.
2. Enter 1 price record for each of the differences in JDE.
3. Use a sql tool to retrieve all the columns for those entered records.
4. You can then take your list of items and prices and sort them to identify which of your JDE created records is a match on the differences.
6. load the newly created records into F4106.
small example of how I would do one.
- 50 new records where all of the fields are the same except item number and price.
2. using MS Access, I would get that record into a temporary table.
4. create a new query that has both of my new tables but no join. This will cause Access to create a row for each possible combination in the two tables.
5. add the short item, item, price columns from the table with just the unique 49 items to the query.
8. append this list of records to the F4106 in JDE.
If you do these steps for each of your combinations, you should end up with good pricing records in JDE.


After braving the cold for a we while, we decided we needed to warm up and so headed to the nearby Clay and Glass Gallery to explore the amazing art pieces and take advantage of some spectacular light. Once changed in to some dry clothes, I worked on getting a few images of them with the art installations, but also to capture the wonderful, loving connection these two have together.

SBG Head Coach, John Kavanagh will be in the corner of Derry man, Steve Owens when he headlines the Real Fighting Championship at the Foyle Arena this Saturday.
JOHN KAVANAGH was in Conor McGregor's corner as 'The Notorious' avenged his only loss against Nate Diaz at UFC 202 in Las Vegas last month in one of the most compelling main events in UFC history.
And this weekend the world renowned and hugely respected Straight Blast Gym Head Coach will be in the corner of Derry man, Steve Owens at the Foyle Arena as he makes his professional MMA debut in his hometown at the 'Real Fighting Championship'.
Kavanagh's one of the best in the business so it's a huge honour for Owens to have the Dubliner follow him into the Octagon on Saturday night.
Fellow SBG teammate and retired UFC star, Paddy 'The Hooligan' Holohan will also be in attendance as special guest and who's to say one of the most recognisable faces in the business, McGregor, won't be there to lend his support? Don't be surprised should he choose to join his SBG teammates on the night!
"A lot of people will have watched McGregor's fight in Las Vegas and saw John Kavanagh in the corner. And then they come to this event in Derry and he's sitting in my corner," enthused Owens.
"It's a nice feeling. It's weird at the same time. He was in Vegas at a multi-million pound fight and the biggest in UFC history two weeks ago and now he's helping me in Derry.
Steve Owens who makes his professional MMA debut at the Real Fighting Championships in the Foyle Arena this Saturday.
As a co-promoter of the event, Owens has had his hands full during fight week and the fact he's had a third change of opponent in the lead up certainly hasn't helped.
He was originally in line to fight South African striker, Alex Masuku, before he pulled out and was replaced by Paul Lawrence of Rush Fight Academy.
Now he takes on the talented lightweight, Keith McCabe from Dublin and, like McGregor's epic UFC 202 main event, Owens is expecting a real war of attrition in the headline bout.
With SBG and Team Ryano, there's a bit of domestic rivalry there. They're the two best clubs in the country and we're two of the up-and-coming fighters so it makes for a very interesting fight.
McCabe fights out of Team Ryano in Dublin, so there will certainly be added spice as the rival Dublin clubs come together.
"I'm excited, everything has fallen into place. I will always be ready and expect anything. I never be comfortable with an opponent because you never know what's going to happen.
"I always train to break down any opponent. Whether its a grappler, wrestler, striker, southpaw. No matter what I'm always prepared for him.
Steve Owens with his SBG teammates in Dublin recently.
"I can take him out in different ways. I'll alter my style with his and take him out! He's definitely a step up in class. He's coming off a big win at BAMMA. But that's better for me. I want to be tested. I don't want easy fights.
"I'm fighting a well rounded fighter so I'll prepared.
"With SBG and Team Ryano, there's a bit of domestic rivalry there. They're the two best clubs in the country and we're two of the up-and-coming fighters so it makes for a very interesting fight. If it didn't happen on Saturday it was going to be soon.
Big hitting K1 world champion, Brian Houston, is also on the hugely exciting bill as he takes on Derry Guinan in his second professional kickboxing bout and Owens reckons it will be his toughest test yet.

Peripheral Urbanization: Autoconstruction, Transversal Logics, and Politics in Cities of the Global South
By Caldeira, Teresa P. R.
Many cities around the world have been largely constructed by their residents, who build not only their own houses, but also frequently their neighborhoods. In this article, I use the notion of peripheral urbanization to analyze this way of producing cities that is quite pervasive in the global south. I argue that peripheral urbanization refers to modes of the production of space that (a) operate with a specific temporality and agency, (b) engage transversally with official logics, (c) generate new modes of politics, and (d) create highly unequal and heterogeneous cities. I also argue that peripheral urbanization not only produces heterogeneity within the city as it unfolds over time, but also varies considerably from one city to another. I build my arguments by juxtaposing dissimilar cases from a few cities in the global south. To focus on peripheral urbanization means simultaneously to de-center urban theory and to offer a bold characterization of modes of the production of space that are different from those that generated the cities of the North Atlantic.
Autoconstruction, peripheries, transversal logics, urbanization in the global south
Many cities around the world have been largely constructed by their residents, who build not only their own houses, but also frequently their neighborhoods. They do not necessarily do so in clandestine ways and certainly not in isolation. Throughout the process, they interact with the state and its institutions, but usually in transversal ways. While they have plans and prepare carefully each step, their actions typically escape the framing of official planning. They operate inside capitalist markets of land, credit, and consumption, but usually in special niches bypassed by the dominant logics of formal real estate, finance, and commodity circulation. In the process of house/city building, many make themselves into citizens and political agents, become fluent in rights talk, and claim the cities as their own. In this article, I refer to this mode of making cities as peripheral urbanization.
I use the notion of peripheral urbanization to create a problem-space that allows us to investigate logics of the production of the urban that differ from those of the North Atlantic. I use it as a means of exploring processes of both socio-spatial formation and theory making. My intention is to go beyond the deconstruction of Northern-originated accounts of urbanization articulated by a now long stream of critiques (1) and, in response to Mbembe and Nuttall (2004: 352), work with new archives to offer a bold characterization and theorization of a mode of the production of space that is prevalent in cities of the global south.
Many authors have worked with notions of peripheries and peripheral urbanization to analyze cities in the global south. I work in conversation with them and cite many of their works throughout this article. At the core of my contribution are two arguments. First, I argue that peripheral urbanization consists of a set of interrelated processes. It refers to modes of the production of urban space that (a) operate with a specific form of agency and temporality, (b) engage transversally with official logics, (c) generate new modes of politics through practices that produce new kinds of citizens, claims, circuits, and contestations, and (d) create highly unequal and heterogeneous cities. Second, I argue that peripheral urbanization not only produces heterogeneity within the city as it unfolds over time, but also varies considerably from one city to another. Thus, as a model, peripheral urbanization must remain open and provisional to account for variation and for the ways in which the production of the cities it characterizes is constantly being transformed.
It is important to stress that peripheral urbanization does not necessarily entail the growth of cities towards their hinterlands. …

Sweden's banking and finance company Avanza has long offered financial advice via podcasts, so it was only natural that, when Storytel cast its eye over the Swedish audio landscape for untapped niches it should alight on the private finance sector.
Storytel takes the next step in its commitment to business literature by launching a unique collaboration with Avanza. This is the first time Storytel initiated an original collaboration with a commercial operator.
The interest in private finance is growing, but we felt that there was no comprehensive school about personal finance in the audiobook world. Therefore, we have applied for a knowledge-bearing actor who can create unique series together with Storytel. Avanza is exactly the partner we have been looking for and I am proud that Storytel's original issue continues to break new ground in the publishing industry.
The popular Avanzapodden podcasts of savings economist Johanna Kull and stock market expert Nicklas Andersson had already demonstrated the public interest, so as Kull explained, the approach by Storytel to collaborate was welcomed with open arms.
We are always looking for new channels to share our knowledge and it is great fun that we can now also reach the broad target group that is available at Storytel. It is an exciting collaboration where with the audio books we now have the opportunity to help even more people get a better view of their personal finances, and hopefully also inspire them to take the next step in their savings.
The collaboration takes the form of two new launches later this year that will be exclusive to Storytel.
Sparskolan (The Savings School) is a nine part series written and narrated by Johanna Kull that launched on Storytel this week.
It will be joined by Aktieskolan (The Share School) which takes the form of a ten part series written and narrated by Nicklas Andersson.
since 2016 produced stories for adults and children who are written directly for sound. Storytel's own publishing business also publishes non-fiction, including summary business literature published in a shorter audiobook format in about 30 minutes.


Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, its Thursday so I am here with another Project Share. I have chosen 3 projects for you that I hope you will enjoy.
I chose this project because I love a good scrapbook layout. I have often looked at this DSP and thought it would be good for a travel scrapbook. This layout shows it would be. I love it.
I love these tags. The way they are layered and the colour matched the daisy stamp on each tag. Who wouldn't be pleased to receive a present with this on it?
A stunning card here, the blacked out bird really gives the card some 'wow' factor. I love it against the really colourful back ground as well it just adds to the 'wow'.

Electronics segment operating income surged 70% to $43.0 million. Automotive segment operating income dropped 5% to $15.7 million. Industrial segment operating income dropped 6% to $1.9 million.
The company announced that it had acquired the assets of U.S. Sensor Corporation, a manufacturer of temperature sensors.
Littelfuse declared a quarterly dividend of $0.37 per share, an increase of 12%. The dividend is payable on Sept. 7 to shareholders of record on Aug. 24.
Littelfuse provided the following guidance for the third quarter:
Third-quarter revenue is expected to be between $311 million and $323 million, up 13% year over year at the midpoint, and up 9% on an adjusted basis.
Third-quarter non-GAAP EPS is expected to fall between $2.02 and $2.16.
What management had to say
In a press release, Littelfuse CEO Dave Heinzmann discussed the drivers behind the strong second quarter, which followed an equally impressive first quarter:
Heinzmann warned investors about a slowdown in order rates that could impact the third-quarter results:
The electronics segment drove much of Littelfuse's revenue growth and all of its earnings growth during the second quarter. Both the automotive and industrial segments grew on an adjusted basis, but the company's biggest segment was the star of the show.
The electronics segment managed an operating margin of 25%, a number that may not hold up during the third quarter given the slowdown in orders. The company expects to produce solid revenue growth despite this headwind, although adjusted earnings will grow more slowly. The company produced non-GAAP EPS of $1.87 during the third quarter of 2016, so the earnings guidance represents EPS growth of just 11.7% at the midpoint.

Home Real Estate FAQs What is a 1031 exchange?
A 1031 exchange is a like-kind exchange of investment real estate where one or more investment properties are exchanged for one or more properties of greater value. The term "1031" comes from the Section of the United States Internal Revenue Code which outlines the tax rule.
Why are 1031 exchanges favorable?
Because the taxpayers involved are able to defer their recognition of capital gains and the subsequent tax liability. In other words, one can change the form of their investment without having to "cash out" and pay taxes by rolling their current property into a new one. When you decide to sell, you'll hopefully pay a one-time tax on the long-term capital gain rate, which is currently at 15%.


There's been a number of blog posts lately celebrating the use of SSD-disks for reducing build/compile times and to make your IDE snappier.
This post is about an even quicker and sometimes cheaper alternative – mount a portion of your RAM as a drive and execute builds there! I also show you how to accelerate Maven and IntelliJ using this strategy.
I have 16GB RAM on my Windows machine (my customer demands that I use Windows) of which I normally use about 3GB. What I've done is to set 8GB aside for a RAM-drive. Files put on my e: drive are stored directly in system memory, no need to do the round-trip to a harddrive, waiting for the data to be copied into memory. I'm developing software in Java and use the RAM-drive for my Maven builds and installs. Also, I keep IntelliJ temporary files, indexes, etc. in memory.
On Linux/Unix and MS-DOS/older Windows versions RAM-drives are easily created using tmpfs or ramdisk.sys, but on new versions of Windows, Vista and later, built-in support for RAM-drives is lacking. Enter Dataram RAMdisk. This free software does the job nicely. Typically, you'll need a 64-bit Windows version to access more than 4GB of RAM at the same time.
Configure and create the RAM-drive.
Select persistence settings of the RAM-drive. Remember to save your settings.
Select the size of the RAM-drive and start it up.
Using Server Manager, format the new drive as NTFS. After a wait of a couple of seconds, the new drive will show under "My Computer".
Execute mvn clean package. Observe the difference in speed from building on your ordinary harddrive. In my case I get more than a 20% speedup, saving myself over five minutes on certain builds.
Putting your Maven artifacts on the RAM-drive will speed up builds and installs.
The simplest solution is to just put your entire local maven repository on the RAM-drive by setting the local repository path in Maven's settings.xml. For example, you change the location of the repository from c:Userssomeuser.m2reposistory to e:repository.
A more flexible solution, and the one I use, is to only put -my- artifacts on the RAM-drive.
I do this to save space, as my repository is a bit on the heavy side.
To get there, I used the built-inmklink command.
mklink allows you to create a directory that links to another directory.
That way I make the directory (c:someuser.m2reposistorymyartifact-root) point to e:repository-ramdisk.
Putting IntelliJ's temporary files and indexes on the RAM-drive will make it snappier, especially for large, multi-module projects.
First, make sure you have the default setting of "use maven output directories" enabled, that will make IntelliJ create class-files on the RAM-drive.
Secondly, import or load the project from the RAM-drive, for example import e:srcmymodulepom.xml as a new project.
Finally, exit IntelliJ and copy IntelliJ's system (c:Userssomeuser.IntelliJIdea90) folder to the RAM-drive (or selected parts of that folder if you're short on free space).
Then rename the system folder and create a link with the same name, pointing to the folder on the RAM-drive (using mklink as in the previous section).
There is of course the option of just checking out the source code and downloading the maven artifacts anew after a reboot. You can even script this task to do it automatically at startup.
If you want some file safety in case the computer crashes, there is a loss of power or so, you can have Dataram RAMdisk write the RAM-drive to disk automatically and regularly.
4 years later… it's still an excellent advise 🙂 from 14mn to 2.5mn!

Nearly 38 million bits of litter on one of world's remotest islands
New research finds there's no escaping ocean plastic.
The beaches of one of the world's most remote islands have been found to be polluted with the highest density of plastic debris reported anywhere on the planet, in a study published in the prestigious US scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Despite being uninhabited and located more than 5,000 kilometres from the nearest major population centre, Henderson Island is littered with an estimated 37.7 million pieces of plastic.
Part of the UK's Pitcairn Islands territory, the island is so remote that it's only visited every five to ten years for research purposes, but its location near the centre of the South Pacific Gyre ocean current makes it a focal point for debris carried from South America or deposited by fishing boats.
During the most recent scientific expedition to the island led by the British nature conservation charity RSPB, the study's lead author, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) researcher Dr Jennifer Lavers, found the beaches littered by up to 671 items per square metre, the highest density ever recorded.
"What's happened on Henderson Island shows there's no escaping plastic pollution even in the most distant parts of our oceans," Dr Lavers said.
Far from being the pristine 'deserted island' that people might imagine of such a remote place, Henderson Island is a shocking but typical example of how plastic debris is affecting the environment on a global scale.
"Based on our sampling at five sites we estimated that more than 17 tonnes of plastic debris has been deposited on the island, with more than 3,570 new pieces of litter washing up each day on one beach alone.
"It's likely that our data actually underestimates the true amount of debris on Henderson Island as we were only able to sample pieces bigger than two millimetres down to a depth of 10 centimetres, and we were unable to sample along cliffs and rocky coastline."
Dr Lavers said most of the more than 300 million tonnes of plastic produced worldwide each year is not recycled, and as it's buoyant and durable it has a long-term impact on the ocean.
Plastic debris is an entanglement and ingestion hazard for many species, creates a physical barrier on beaches to animals such as sea turtles, and lowers the diversity of shoreline invertebrates.
"Research has shown that more than 200 species are known to be at risk from eating plastic, and 55 per cent of the world's seabirds, including two species found on Henderson Island, are at risk from marine debris," Dr Lavers said.

Robert Flaherty's lost Irish Gaelic film found at Harvard
Documentary pioneer Robert Flaherty directed the first film made in the Irish language, Oidhche Sheanchais ("A Night of Storytelling") in 1935 during the production of his now classic film Man of Aran.
Cited in nearly every history of Irish cinema, this short (11 minute) film has been missing, believed lost, since a fire destroyed the only known copies in 1943. A nitrate print of the film, purchased by the Harvard College Library in 1935 at the request of Harvard's Department of Celtic Languages and Literatures, was rediscovered by Houghton Library curators during a cataloging update in 2012.
Oidhche Sheanchais, a fascinating distillation of Flaherty's belief in cinema as a kind of folkloric art, depicts a typical Irish hearth, where the main cast members of Man of Aran sit, listening to an ancient tale told by famed Seanchaí (storyteller) Seáinín Tom Ó Dioráin. Oidhche Sheanchais is Flaherty's first work in direct sound and the first "talkie" in Irish Gaelic. It was filmed in the same London studio where the Man of Aran cast had already gathered for the recording of post-synch sound.
The Harvard Film Archive, in collaboration with Houghton Library, the Celtic department and Harvard's Office of the Provost, has preserved Oidhche Sheanchais on 35mm film and digital formats. The film had a short run in Ireland and was never subtitled in English. Harvard has had the film translated and both subtitled and non-subtitled versions will be available.
Today (July 3), the new 35mm subtitled print has its premiere at Il Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna—one of the most prestigious showcases for rediscovered and restored films—with introductions by Harvard Film Archive Director Haden Guest and Irish Film Institute Head of Irish Film Programming Sunniva O'Flynn.
We are grateful for everyone who helped make this exciting project possible, and hope you come see the film when we screen it on the big screen! The film will be available for loan as 35mm or DCP once it has had its Harvard premiere. Stay tuned!

Re-discovering Amiri Baraka's THE NEW-ARK (1968)
As you may recall, a print of an early film by the poet Amiri Baraka was discovered at the Harvard Film Archive back in January. It had been belived lost for decades.
The HFA worked with Anthology Film Archives to make a 2K scan of the print, and we are pleased to announce the film is now available digitally will be available for loan soon.
THE NEW-ARK, not screened publicly for over 40 years, was shown in Newark this week. (Read the local news story here and here.) and the new 2K file will screen at Anthology Film Archives in New York City on May 16th and May 18th as part of a tribute to Baraka.
The HFA will be showing the movie in the fall.
HOW IS A LOST FILM FOUND?
We'll be writing more about this soon, but here is the short story of this particular film. THE NEW-ARK is part of the James E. Hinton Collection at the Harvard Film Archive. The material in the collection has been cataloged, re-housed and sent into cold storage, and a finding aid was created. I know, I know, "finding aids are boring" (or so I've been told), but they are effective tools for seeing into larger collections.
Despite what you might think, the processing archivist doesn't get to watch every film that comes through his or her hands. The film is generally inspected on a rewind bench, identified by printed credits, rehoused into archival containers, and sent into storage. Unknown titles are sometimes viewed for content identification if there is time and the condition of the material allows.
Two separate independent researchers discovered the Hinton Collection, and were interested in delving into the material. The HFA benefited from their work, because they were able to give us detailed descriptions of the films they viewed. Credits for THE NEW-ARK were transcribed, and the director was noted as LeRoi Jones (who later changed his name to Amiri Baraka).
Still, the presence of a sought-after, lost film went unnoticed.
Whitney Strub, of Rutgers University, was researching films made in Newark, NJ, and came across the title in the published work of one of the aforementioned researchers. He wanted to show it in New Jersey. He spoke to archivists at the HFA and at Anthology Film Archives about it following Baraka's death, and together we brought the film out of the dark. Whitney's article in Bright Lights Film Journal is linked here, and here is a brief radio interview with him.
This is a fairly typical story of how a lost film can be found in the collection of an archive. The HFA processed the film as part of a larger collection, but did not realize its significance. We put its title out for people on the internet to find via the finding aid, and someone who was looking for it found it.
Our thanks to everyone who helped make this re-discovery possible: Lars Lierow, whose research at the HFA led to an article in Black Camera, "The 'Black Man's Vision of the World"cites the existence of the print, to Chuck Jackson who also worked with the Hinton Collection, and especially to Whitney Strub and Andy Lampert (of Anthology Film Archives).
Another of Baraka's early films BLACK SPRING (1967) remains lost. If you should come across it, get in touch! He is, no doubt, credited as LeRoi Jones.

The New-Ark by Amiri Baraka
We discovered another rare film in the Harvard Film Archive's collections this week.
THE NEW-ARK (1968) was written and directed by Leroi Jones AKA Amiri Baraka (1934-2014). The HFA has a print, possibly unique, in the James Hinton Collection. Hinton was cinematographer on the film.
THE NEW-ARK is a creative documentary about Black Education, urban public theater, and political consciousness-raising in Newark, NJ, set inside and outside of Spirit House. Spirit House, also known as Heckalu Community Center, was a Black Nationalist community center in Newark, NJ, under the leadership of poet, playwright, and activist Amiri Baraka (known at the time as LeRoi Jones). Includes shots of Baraka reading "Poem to Half-White College Students." There are shots of Spirit House Community Black School including the teaching of the Black Alphabet. The film contains footage of street theater performances, political rallies, rehearsals, martial arts practice, discussions, dance and musical performances. (blurb based on a description by Chuck Jackson)
The 1968 Ektachrome print is in decent condition and the HFA plans to partner with Anthology Film Archives to digitize the print and make it available for screenings.

Skate trips can put your mental wellbeing through the proverbial meat grinder. There's a lot of self-imposed expectation for yourself and Mother Nature to cooperate to a high standard on demand and if they don't....well we all know the feeling.
Heading to an island smack-dab in the middle of the Atlantic ocean is not just risky, but the weather is guaranteed to frustrate you even a little bit. In the case of Taryn Ward and this gang, it was nothing short of back-to-back-to-back days of damp island weather and somber moods.
Judging by the footage, you'd never guess that was the situation for these boys. Take a look through Hideaway, a new 4 minute piece featuring Alex Furtado, Adam Kerrick, Jonny Goupil and Japhey Dow as they explore Sao Miguel Island, Azores for 10 days.

# Elizabeth II
Do everything to protect the queen. Worried for the safety of Elizabeth II, after the arrest of a gunman in the walls of Windsor, the persons in charge want at all costs to avoid a tragedy. And this necessarily requires new measures, especially since the year 2022 will be special for His Majesty who will celebrate his Platinum Jubilee. According to The Sun, the Civil Aviation Authority recently made a big decision: to ban the flight of planes and drones over the castle. From next January 27, in fact, they will not be able to fly less than 762 meters above sea level on the grounds of the royal residence, where Elizabeth II has lived for two years and the start of the pandemic. According to the Civil Aviation Authority, it is in the public interest to impose this ban, which will be monitored by air traffic control.

Elizabeth II makes a surprise appearance in the face of rumors about her condition
In fact, if an aircraft crosses the area and does not respond to radio warnings, fighter planes will be dispatched. On the ground, the police who protect the castle 24 hours a day will also have more powers to stop spotted illegal drones. This new regulation, which will therefore come into force within a few weeks, is called "regulation of restriction of flights under the ordinance on air navigation". A ban necessary according to specialists, very worried for the safety of Elizabeth II after the arrest of the armed man who wanted to assassinate her with a crossbow. "This is a very worrying problem that they will have to address because this is the third intrusion in the Windsor area in the last year," said a reporter a few days ago.
Elizabeth II, a reassessment of her safety
Her Majesty's security officers therefore had no choice but to act. And quick. "Among the people we spoke to after this issue were people like Dai Davies, such as Ken Wharfe, former Royal Family bodyguards, said there should be a major and major reassessment of the Queen. security at Windsor Castle, "added the Crown Specialist. As a reminder, the man arrested in the grounds of the royal residence had announced his project on social networks. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I've done and what I'm going to do. I'm going to attempt to assassinate Elizabeth, Queen of the Royal Family, he said. I'm an Indian Sikh, a Sith. My name was Jaswant Singh Chail, my name is Dark Jones. If you have received this message it is because my death is near. " Arrested by the police, he was then interned.

K M Weiland's methods guide writers to understand story and scene structure. She helps to perfectly time a story's major events and evaluate a novel's pacing and progression. We highly recommend buying her Structuring Your Novel book to make the most of this planning method.
An inherent question. Introduce the character. Introduce the setting. Make a sweeping declaration to make the reader ask why. Set the tone. Grab attention.
This fuels the entire plot. Will the hero find true love? Will the baddy be beaten? This must be presented in the first scene.
After the hook you must introduce the protagonist, antagonist, love interest, sidekick, mentors etc.
Stakes and setting. What do your characters care about? What's the worst thing that can happen? Show an investment in the current world. Don't pick arbitrary settings, make your settings work.
This is about 25% of the way into your story. This changes everything. It's a point of no return and marks the end of Act 1. Make it a big event.
From 25% to 50% of the novel. This covers reaction to the events of the first plot point. The antagonist responds.
This is around 40% into the story. The antagonist impresses the reader. Something raises the stakes.
Learnings during Act 2, part 1.
The protagonist will gain the skills or items necessary for final battle in Act 3.
This is 50% of the way into your story. Everything changes again. The second plot point is bigger than the first, like a second inciting incident. It changes the whole paradigm of the story. The protagonist's reaction this time is to take charge. A character often moves from defence to attack.
From 50% to 75% of the story. The protagonist is reborn after personal revelations at the mid-point. There is a sense of, "I can do it, yes I can!" It's important to remember the character arc and overcoming flaws. A character's change must be gradually revealed through overcoming obstacles.
Around 60% of the way into the story. Show the antagonist might still win. Foreshadow the final battle. This is a place of revelation for the protagonist.
75% onwards. Pick up the pace of the story with events here.
This plot point can upend everything. Dealing with this will fulfil the character arc.
An edge of the seat moment. Make it fast and big. This ends the primary conflict between the protagonist and the antagonist. The protagonist has a revelation that leads to beating the enemy. This may be an internal or external change.
This should be bitter sweet, it will tie up loose ends.
A summation of the story, ideally with a theme reference. A 'happily ever after' moment.
