NOVOMATIC is the first Austrian gaming company to register in Las Vegas, Nevada – the largest Austrian investment in Australia is now ready for launch
All international regulatory confirmations are in place, allowing NOVOMATIC to move ahead with the acquisition of a 52 percent stake of the Australian gaming industry giant Ainsworth Game Technology Limited (AGT). The formal closing is planned for January 5, 2018. The approval involved intense scrutiny from multiple gaming boards, including in Australia, South America and the US. One of the authorities' main tasks was to carry out comprehensive compliance checks, not just for NOVOMATIC itself, but also for all owners, Supervisory Board and Executive Board members.
"NOVOMATIC is now one of the few internationally active companies to have passed strict compliance checks from these international authorities. For this reason, a variety of independent licensing boards have said the deal can go ahead," Harald Neumann, Chairman of the Executive Board at NOVOMATIC, is pleased to report. NOVOMATIC is particularly proud of its successful registration with the Nevada Gaming Control Board in Nevada, US, which required strict testing. NOVOMATIC is now the first Austrian company to register in the gaming metropolis of Las Vegas. Neumann confirms: "The compliance tests carried out as part of this registration were extremely thorough. They included all corporate divisions of NOVOMATIC AG."
The purchase of shares in AGT at over EUR 300 million is, to date, the largest investment an Austrian company has ever made in Australia. "Our shares in Ainsworth are strategically very important for NOVOMATIC," added Neumann. After all, the plan is to use this acquisition to increase market share in the US to about 10 percent over the next five years. In the long-term, NOVOMATIC may become the world market leader in the area of gaming technology.

Pantone Colour of the Year 2017 is revealed!
Color forecasters at the Pantone Color Institute have declared "greenery" as next year's color of the year.
Although there is green in grass, leaves and apples, Pantone is specific about what counts as "greenery."
The company describes it as "a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature's greens revive, restore and renew."
"It's the green that signals vitality, energy and warmth from the sun," said Laurie Pressman, vice president with Pantone Color Institute.
The yellow-green color was largely picked because it represents rebirth and regeneration, Pressman said.
This 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R (which goes on sale next year) is a shade of green called "AMG Green Hell Magno."
She added that the hue is symbolic of "where we are in our lives and what we desire."
"We are so submerged in our routines and tethered to devices, but we have a great desire to disconnect and replenish," she said.
Pantone's team around the world typically spends the year studying trends in fashion, consumer products, social media and technology. It looks for influences that best describe the current mood of society and picks a color to reflect those elements.
"We're [even] looking at street art, animation, architecture, movies and headphones," said Pressman. "We capture a snapshot of what's being expressed through color."
Sometimes more than one color makes sense. Pantone picked two colors for 2016: baby blue and dusty pink. The company called them "welcoming colors that fulfill our yearning for reassurance and security.
"More recently, green has stood out on fashion runways, in makeup and cars. For example, the "greenery" shade appeared on Mercedes and Skoda car models this year.
The green color also represents a growing movement around protecting nature.
"We're more conscious about the environment and protecting the planet," said Pressman.
With "greenery" as the chosen color of the year, brands will also want to get in on the trend with their packaging and products, from handbags to jewelry and housewares.
It happened when Pantone declared Tangerine Tango its 2012 color of the year.
"People said it would never work but we were dead on," she said. "Tangerine is now a mainstream color."

Anjaan (The Unknown) is a 1941 Bollywood film directed by Amiya Chakrabarty and produced by Bombay Talkies. It was Chakrabarty's first film direction. The film's story and screenplay were by Amiya Chakrabarty, with dialogues by J. S. Casshyap. The cinematography was by the debutant R. D. Mathur. Its music direction was by Pannalal Ghosh, with lyrics by Kavi Pradeep and P. L. Santoshi. The film starred Devika Rani, who had recently returned to films after a two-year absence, following the death of her husband Himanshu Rai in 1940. The cast included Ashok Kumar, David, V. H. Desai, Gulab, Suresh and Om Prakash.

Devika Rani and Ashok Kumar formed a popular pair and acted together in eight films from 1936 to 1941. Devika enjoyed a higher status, was termed as a "bigger star" and was accorded top billing. Their films included Jeevan Naiya (1936), Achhut Kanya (1936), Janmabhoomi (1936), Izzat (1937), Savitri (1937), Nirmala (1938), Vachan (1938) and Anjaan (1941).

Anjaan revolved around Devika Rani playing a governess to Ranima's children. She gets entangled in a love triangle involving a doctor played by Ashok Kumar, and the estate manager.

Plot
Indira (Devika Rani) is a poor governess employed by the widow, Ranima (Gulab), of a Zamindar for her two children. The estate manager Ramnath (Girish) falls in love with her and turns to villainous acts in order to win her over. Devika falls in love with the doctor, Ajit, played by Ashok Kumar, who looks after Ranima and is guardian to the two children. Following a scheming plot when Ranima dies, Ramnath implicates Ajit, for which he is apprehended. A court scene follows where Ajit is successful in acquitting himself. Indira and Ajit get together in the end, while the villain is convicted.

Cast
 Devika Rani as Indira
 Ashok Kumar as Ajit
 V. H. Desai
 David
 Om Prakash
 Girish as Ramnath
 Suresh (Master Suresh)
 P. F. Pithawala
 Gulab
 Fatty Prasad
 Yusuf Sulehman

Review
The film came in for praise from the editor of the cine-magazine, Filmindia, Baburao Patel. Titling the review as "Devika Returns With Charming Vengeance" he called it "a personal triumph for Devika Rani without whom even a foot of the picture becomes boring". The cinematographer R. D. Mathur was said to have in his "very first chance" "proved himself to be the best camera artist in the studio".

Soundtrack
With music directed by the "famous classical flautist" Pannalal Ghosh, the film had lyrics by Kavi Pradeep and P. L. Santosh. The singers were Devika Rani,

Tim Lang on the food systems issues being exposed by Brexit
Tim Lang from the Centre for Food Policy joins the FRC for our Food Bites series and explores the current issues in the food system and what civil society organisations and academics could be doing to work towards solutions that address the issues within the food system.
Tim Lang has been Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy since 2002. After a PhD in social psychology at Leeds University, he became a hill farmer in the 1970s which shifted his attention to food policy, where it has been ever since. For over 35 years, he's engaged in academic and public research and debate about its direction, locally to globally. His abiding interest is how policy addresses the environment, health, social justice, and citizens.He has been a consultant to the World Health Organisation (eg. auditing the Global Top 25 Food Companies on food and health).
He has been a special advisor to four House of Commons Select Committee inquiries (food standards x 2, globalisation and obesity), and a consultant on food security to the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House). He was a Commissioner on the UK Government's Sustainable Development Commission (2006-11), reviewing progress on food sustainability. He was on the Council of Food Policy Advisors to the Dept for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (2008-10), and was appointed to the Mayor of London's Food Board in 2010.

Q: There is only one disc with center i0 for which exists a holomorphic bijection from a given domain Let D be a domain which is not the entire complex plane.
and let f a holomorphic bijection to a disc with center at 0, that satisfies $f(z_0)=0;f'(z_0)=1$ for some $z_0$ on a disc.
Prove that there is only one such disc; meaning there is only one radius  for which this f exists.
EDIT: solve it without Riemann mapping theorem.

A: Let $f_1: D \to B(0, r_1)$ and $f_2: D \to B(0, r_2)$ both be bijective with $f_j(z_0) = 0$ and $f_j'(z_0) = 1$. Then consider
$$
 g(z) = \frac{1}{r_2} f_2(f_1^{-1}(r_1z)))
$$
which is a bijective mapping from the unit disk onto itself with $g(0) = 0$ and $g'(0) = r_1/r_2$. Use the Schwarz Lemma to conclude that $r_1 = r_2$ and then that $g$ is the identity function.


Setting undefined to layout property should "clear" layout value. For instance, Setting both left and top disables center property (TIMOB-26507) but we should be able to enable center property again by setting undefined for left and top properties.
Expected: The blue view should move to where you click.
TIMOB-26507 Windows: View.center is not respected when left & top is set.

The Altair Wave Series 125mm EDF F7.8 APO is a highly specified doublet APO refractor which offers plenty of aperture, portability and high resolution for the visual observer.
The optical tube weighs only 7.9kg and compresses down to "Rack 'n Pinion" geared Focuser with self centering 2" aperture and 2" to 1.25" adapter.
Why a big doublet refractor? A 5" long focal length ED refractor hits the perfect balance for visual observers, whether you are into planetary, lunar, deepsky or solar observing. An ED doublet lens cools faster than a triplet lens, because there is no centre-element with an insulating air gap so thermal equilibrium is reached quickly. Frant-end weight is also minimised for a nice balance, and the longer focal ratio allows superb colour correction and memorable planetary views. Finally two lenses means two less air-to-glass surfaces than a triplet for better contrast and less scatter. The 125 EDF is a good choice for high resolution solar imaging. (Please see some solar images). Performance for white light solar observation with the Altair 2" Hershel Wedge gives the ultimate crisp views. The contrast and resolution are high enough to easily see granulation and delicate structures within sunspots. Views and images with the Daystar Quark Hydrogen Alpha, Sodium or Calcium eyepieces are also superb.
APO performance, modern design: Usually Altair's "APO" designation is reserved for triplet refractors only, however, the 125 EDF, whilst a doublet refractor, has no colour aberration visible in-focus. This is thanks to a long F7.8 focal ratio and a modern computer aided design. An optimisation process simulates lens performance, taking millions of permutations into account and consulting a vast catalogue of optical glass before deriving the radii and spacing of the ojective lens. The designer's only criteria was to use modern Synthetic Fluorite FPL53 ED (extra low despersion) glass and to keep the focal ratio at F8 or shorter to allow for an easy-to-manage tube length. Every lens surface has a different radius in this design, something quite uncommon amongst refractors, making the lenses harder to polish, however the results are well worth the effort. Glass melt data has also been used to calculate the lens element spacing.
Altair Wave Series optical test report: Your Altair 125mm ED Triplet APO optics are repeatedly tested and re-figured during the final stages of production, until signed off by the optician in charge of the production batch. The best quality ED glass is used element, which is fully annealed and cooled to relieve internal stresses. Each lens cell has a serial number engraved on the front ring. Working closely with our optical technicians, we have introduced a unique multi-tier quality assurance process for all Wave Series lenses, to ensure the highest quality and lowest chromatic aberration. These lenses are modified, and are far superior to the "normal" production quality lenses offered by most manufacturers. Star tests speak for themselves, and colour correction is superb, as can be seen from the various observing reports and images taken with Wave Series refractors. During the production process, a laser interferometer image is acquired in 532nm green light, and imported into fringe analysis software to create an optical test report summary. This test report is included with your telescope (see example image attached in the thumbnails below the main product image). Each image is a "snapshot in time" of the lens on the test bench. Vibration, air currents and other environmental factors can influence the image, and the outcome of the report, though these factors are minimised during testing in a climate controlled environment. Providing a test report is a useful way for us to assure that our our production quality is consistent from batch-to-batch. A paper report printout is included with your telescope, which corresponds to the serial number visible on the lens (an example report is shown in the thumbnail images below the main product image, with the serial number deleted).
Altair 10x60mm deluxe right angle finder scope: An optional Altair Astro 60mm RACI (Right Angled Correct Image) deluxe finder scope is also available separately, with a machined bracket to fit the 3" focuser, a brightness adjustable red crosshair illuminator, and a wide field eyepiece with helical focuser. A 60mm finder offers significantly more light grasp than a 50mm, finder and better optical quality. Blackened lens edges and low reflectance multi-coatings ensure sharp, contrasty images across a very flat field, to help you find fainter objects against the night sky. The finder scope has a prism diagonal which ensures the image in the finder is the right way up and orientated correctly left-to-right, making objects quicker and easier to find. Star charts will match up with your view through the finder, making object location much quicker and easier. Furthermore, the right angled design lets you use the finder from a more comfortable position compared to a straight-through finder.
What can I expect to see with this telescope? The Altair Wave Series 125mm APO will deliver very high contrast images of planets and the Moon. Under steady skies you will easily be able to see detail and changing weather patterns in the cloud belts of Jupiter, the pastel shades of Saturn's planetary disc, as well as the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings. You'll be able to distinguish the changing weather patterns on Mars, as well the dusky surface features and the ice-white polar caps (seasons permitting). Remember planetary viewing is perfectly possible in the city and that light pollution will not affect your view at all. The Moon will reveal so much detail you could spend a lifetime watching the sun rise over crater walls, Lava plains, impact craters and mountain ranges. The image is significantly brighter than a 4 or 4.5" refractor due to the larger surface area of the objective lens. In terms of deep-sky objects, the 125 EDF performs very well on the brighter Deepsky Objects. Under dark skies, it will resolve the individual stars in globular clusters like M13 in Hercules, and you will be able to see wisps of nebulosity in objects like the Orion Nebula giving it a 3D effect, as well as the dust lane in the Andromeda galaxy quite easily. The Ring nebula in Lyra shows a true "smoke-ring" shape against a dark background. This telescope can be used with nebula and light pollution filters to bring out even more detail.
Q: I need a mount for this telescope, what do you recommend? There are several options available, and we can offer a competitive package to suit your budget, as well as mounting hardware to suit your use scenario. The Altair Sabre AZ Mount is the perfect portable non-electronic mount for the 125 EDF. Motor driven GOTO Mounts capable of carrying this telescope without struggling are the iOptron AZ PRO, iOptron iEQ45, Celestron / Synta CGEM and EQ6, HEQ5. For long exposure deepsky imaging, an iOptron iEQ45, CEM60 or EQ6 are within capacity for the 125 EDF.
Q: What field flattener and reducer options should I choose for my Altair 125mm ED Doublet APO?
PlanoStar 0.79x Reducer/Flattener (PLANOS-3-0.79X-M48) fits all Wave Series focusers without any adapter required.
Aperture / Focal length: 125mm / 975mm.
Highest Useful Magnification - 246x (atmospheric conditions permitting).

CM annual BIM survey shows lukewarm clients are still a barrier to Level 2 uptake, though construction's confidence in the technology has improved.
A conservative, lowest cost culture remains "a huge hurdle" for the industry to overcome if it is to successfully adopt BIM Level 2, according to digital construction tsar Mark Bew.
The chairman of engineering consultancy PCSG, who was appointed chair of the UK government's BIM Task Group, made his comments as CM published the results of its annual BIM survey which showed construction uptake of BIM Level 2 remains sluggish.
The research found that only 14% of clients mandate BIM Level 2 on all projects, down from 20% a year ago. However, 44% of construction firms now say they are confident about using the technology compared to just a third in 2017. The proportion saying they had not used Level 2 BIM at all fell slightly from 38% to 34%.
Bew said he still has "many conversations across the industry telling me that embracing this new technology and making this vital transformation is too costly, too difficult, too time-consuming and fails to give the required return on investment".
Bew said that "the industry is still very much at the start of its digital transformation" but believes it has "come a long way".
"We now see an industry not simply designing in 3D but actually embracing a new digital future in which data has value," he said.
A strategic adviser for the UK's Centre for Digital Built Britain in Cambridge, Bew urged the industry to "move away from the world of BIM and towards a new and bigger world of data exploitation, information management, feedback and advanced analytics".
The survey findings and Bew's remarks chimed with the views of other leading industry BIM figures CM spoke to.
"BIM Level 2 is all about information management and how data is produced to improve the efficiency of both project delivery but more importantly asset operation," said Edonis Jesus, BIM leader at Lendlease.
"Key to the adoption of BIM is getting the benefits properly understood and then linking them to an organisation's business objectives," said Malcolm Stagg, director of BIM and digital engineering, Skanska UK.
I think the headline misses a subtle, but important detail.
Wanting low costs shouldn't be a problem. BIM should be able to help projects deliver great value and low cost projects. If the focus is on TOTAL, FINAL cost.
The problem I see is that in a desire for "cost certainty" and minimised commercial risk at a work package level, we use commercial approaches that do not help the project achieve this. A project manager who believes that they get the lowest total cost project by letting a lot of separate fixed-price contracts for each work package is actually increasing the overall project cost.
This approach is what makes for our fragmented project teams. And since each contractor understandably looks after their own interests, they are incentivised not to support holistic methods that help the overall project succeed..like BIM.
Until projects realise that the commercial model is what is holding us back, and that changing it is the most reliable way to reduce total project cost and duration, than great ideas like BIM will remain frustrated and under-performing.


Toyah's Acoustic, Up Close & Personal UK Tour resumes on Thursday 24th July at The Duchess in York. Click below for the full tour dates and links to buy tickets. Visit the Official Toyah Gigs page for an exclusive new live track – an acoustic version of 'Sensational'.
As the label on the cover of the re-print of 'In The Court Of The Crimson Queen', included in the first Breaking Through newsletter a couple of weeks ago, suggested 'Sensational' by Toyah is played (not performed) in Hormonal Housewives.
The tour continues tonight at Southport Theatre and tomorrow at the Victoria Theatre, Halifax.
• Victoria & Albert Museum: Jubilee @ The V&A: A fantastic photo of Jordan is included in the prestigious museum's collection.
• Penny Black Music: Cheek of Her: Megaphonic EP: Toyah is mentioned in this new review… There are even spoken lyrics over what could be the harmonies of a choir of flouncy girls lead by the love child of Siouxsie Sioux and Toyah Willcox.
• Unofficial Toyah Top 20 2103: The results of the first part of James and Lärwi's Toyah Song Poll are in, and the second part is now online. Toyah's full back catalogue, excluding collaborations, was included and has been voted down to a final 28. 100 people participated in the fun poll so it's hardly definitive but still interesting (and thanks to James for taking the time to organise it all). Vote here.
It's become a tradition over the years for Dreamscape to put together an "ad" for Toyah's latest release… So, here's one for 'Sensational'. Available at iTunes, Amazon etc… Click here to view a larger version and below to watch the video at You Tube.
Rather than celebrating the fact that almost 40 years into her career Toyah is still making music, releasing videos and imagery, entertaining her fans (is there anybody else from the New Wave era that is still so busy and visible that a news website about them can be updated almost every day?) and much more, there seems to be even more negativity swirling around than usual, especially regarding the video for 'Sensational'. Check out the video on You Tube for Toyah's feelings on the matter!
Some people seemed quite excited yesterday that Pop Justice ran an article on Toyah and 'Sensational'.
• Continue reading at Pop Justice.
• The new video for Toyah's Sensational has just been released. Here is another clip featuring the song, uploaded to You Tube a couple of years ago, featuring footage from The Sarah Jane Adventures. There's also a SJA video set to It's A Mystery, and a Doctor Who one too!
• Dangerous Minds: Punk Rock, Now More Than Ever: The Gospel According To Henry Rollins And Various Old Punks: I'm no Henry Rollins fan but when he's good he can be very good, as he is in this short piece on punk rock, Is Punk Back From The Dead?, that was broadcast on British TV recently. The clip also includes some thoughts on punk from John Holmstrom, Tony James (Generation X), Mark Perry (Sniffin' Glue) and Toyah Willcox. The consensus: punk now more than ever!
• Pun Based Name: Copy? Compliment? Coincidence?: For whatever reason, lots of album covers seem to pay tribute to lots of other ones… 15. Kate Bush – Never For Ever (EMI, 1980) & Toyah – Anthem (Safari, 1981): Anthem was probably Toyah's best album; a nice mix of post-punk and new wave/synth pop influences.
• Leamington Courier: Family fun, theatre, comedy and music live in Leamington: Toyah Willcox will star in Hormonal Housewives, a comedy evening of sketches covering what makes women tick – or ticked off.
• In Concert 1981/Rebel Run Tour 1983: Low quality, but still really good, fan radio and concert recordings of War Boys, Neon Womb and I Explode at You Tube.
The full length video for Sensational was released this morning. Uplifting song, great visuals!
Exciting news! A newly edited, previously unseen, video for 'Sensational', from 'In The Court Of The Crimson Queen', is coming your way soon! Tune into Toyah's official online channels first thing Monday morning. Here are some screen caps from the excellent 2007 video.
Weight Watchers: New Approach – Sensational!
Toyah's fantastic track 'Sensational', from the much loved 2008 album 'In The Court Of The Crimson Queen', debuted on UK television on Boxing Day in a new high profile advertising campaign by Weight Watchers.
Weight Watchers – New Approach features Patsy Kensit in one of the first adverts and is expected to run for most of 2013.

3 Ways to Avoid Big-Data Blind Spots When Recruiting
Leaders need to learn to understand how and when to use big data in their recruiting efforts.
By Eliot Burdett • Aug 18, 2016
Tom Brady, arguably one of the top five quarterbacks in NFL history, was not drafted until the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. With all the data in the hands of scouts that day, how was he missed?
Well, it starts and ends with two magic words -- big data. And just like big data is impacting how executives in the NFL build their teams, it is also changing the way we do business, tantalizing leaders from both Fortune 500 companies and start-ups alike.
A study published by MIT showed 91 percent of Fortune 1000 company executives are planning to use big data. However simply gathering data is not enough to make critical business decisions, especially those that impact talent acquisition efforts. It is necessary for leaders to understand how and when to use big data in their recruiting and the gaps that are created when it becomes an overly relied upon tool.

Initially, most companies invested in big data for their sales and marketing departments. This made sense as it empowered executives to more accurately forecast revenue generation in the short and long-term. However, more corporate leaders are starting to realize that implementing big data across their entire organization, even in "non-revenue'" generating groups such as HR, is going to be a critical factor in their ability to remain competitive in an economy that is increasingly global, mobile and social.
Related: Why Entrepreneurs Should Look Beyond Big Data
Given the enormous costs of bad hires, which this Career Builder study found costs business more than $50,000 each, we are seeing corporate leaders increase their investment in big data programs in the areas of recruiting and hiring as a way to further mitigate hiring risk. In fact, Deloitte predicts that global spending on integrated talent management systems will grow by 17 percent this year and the HR Service Delivery and Technology Survey, a global survey of 1,048 companies, found that one in three respondents plan to spend more on HR technology in the coming year.
As the CEO of Peak Sales Recruiting, we are working with world-class clients to incorporate big data into the recruiting process. While these investments will have enormous return on investment, we have also seen first-hand that an over reliance on big data comes with a myriad of risks and pitfalls.
As a result, we have identified three ways executives can avoid the "blind spots' that are created by big data when recruiting:
1. Don't rely entirely on technology.
When effectively used, big data has shown to lower the cost of each hire and reduce time-to-hire. In fact, an Accenture study found that 94 percent of talent executives report that they've successfully used big data to "moderately or extensively" identify new candidate sources. However, while big data functionality like predictive analytics, algorithms and key word searches can help recruiters avoid going through hundreds of unqualified resumes by hand, they can create blind spots that hinder a recruiter's ability to identify great candidates. For example, a robot can't determine what organizational culture a candidate is coming from, be that a large multinational corporation or a boutique firm, and how that impacts their suitability for the role.
2. Maintain "old school" recruiting techniques.
In order to avoid big data blind spots, it is critical for recruiters to continue to practice "old school" recruiting techniques. This means investing time in developing personal relationships with top performers in your industry, networking at industry events and even picking up the phone to invite a highly coveted candidate to lunch or a baseball game. Particularly when hiring senior executives, who have more to lose and often hide their online job searches to avoid detection, it is critical to build and maintain strong personal relationships with key industry leaders. Perhaps most importantly, you can't call a robot that you have a personal relationship with to get the inside scoop on someone you are thinking of bringing in for an interview. Maintaining human connections is critical when trying to acquire the most talented candidates.

3. Don't just collect data, learn how to analyze it.
According to IBM, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day but 90 percent of all data is never analyzed or utilized in business decision processes. As much as 60 percent of this data begins to lose value within milliseconds of being generated. The point is that this is not simply an arms race for what company can gather the most data, rather what company can best use that data to make more intelligent hiring decisions. It is therefore critical to invest in data analysts and you can start by watching big players in the market such as Amazon, SalesForce, Google, Microsoft, IBM and Facebook.
At the end of the day, it is undeniable how much technology is streamlining the recruiting process but at the same time there is a chasm that current technology is unable to fill. By implementing a half machine and half man approach, you can be closer to building your ideal team.

What Is a Trust Fund and How Do They Work?

DELTONA, Fla. — Two Cuban Baptist leaders arrested Oct. 3 in the city of Santiago de Cuba remain in jail, reportedly without formal charge and with few details of why they are being held.
Rubén Ortiz-Columbié, coordinator for special projects of the Eastern Cuba Baptist Convention, and Francisco "Pancho" Garcia, director of the convention's teen department, were reportedly carrying out church work when nabbed by authorities.
Ortiz' son, also named Ruben, is a pastor in Florida. He said the two men were on their way to distribute money donated for Baptist work. He said his church, Primera Iglesia Bautista in Deltona, Fla., regularly sends funds to the convention for mission projects in Cuba.
Observers in the United States familiar with the situation said they don't know why police targeted Ortiz and Garcia. Ortiz is a well-known Baptist leader in Cuba and worldwide. He is former general office manager of the Eastern Cuba Baptist Convention and has taught stewardship at the Baptist Seminary of Eastern Cuba for 20 years. Since retiring from the convention, he has continued to visit churches to determine project needs and help them to secure necessary funds and labor to get the jobs done in a volunteer capacity.
In 2008 the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) of Florida entered into a partnership with the Eastern Cuba Baptist Convention to support the work of Ortiz and Garcia. As of mid-September, the Florida CBF had received and transferred a total of $7,000 to help restore and repair structures used for religious services, camps and education.
With 320 churches, the Eastern Cuba Baptist Convention is the largest of four Baptist groups in Cuba. It has a long-standing fraternal relationship with American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA).
Rubén Ortiz-Columbié is pictured here working on disaster-relief efforts with the Eastern Baptist Convention for Hurricane Paloma last year in Santa Cruz del Sur, Cuba.
Jose Norat-Rodriguez, area director of Iberoamerica and the Caribbean for ABCUSA International Ministries, said Ortiz and Garcia were allowed to see their wives Oct. 9, but the women were not told why their husbands were being detained. He compared the two Baptists to Paul and Silas, two missionaries delivered from prison though the power of prayer in the Book of Acts, and asked fellow Baptists to pray both for their release and for their families.
The Spanish conquistadors brought Catholicism to Cuba, imposing their culture and beliefs, and it was the only official religion in Cuba and other Spanish colonies for 400 years. The first permanent Protestants in Cuba were repatriated refugees converted to Protestant faiths during exile in the United States.
After the Spanish-American War, however, missionaries poured into Cuba. With so many entering at the same time, denominations sat down together to give order to their missionary ventures. Some, like Baptists, zeroed in on geographical areas.
In 1898 the home mission boards of the American and Southern Baptist denominations met in Washington and agreed to divide Cuba between east and west for the purposes of missionary work.
In addition to the smaller Western Cuba Baptist Convention, historically tied to the Southern Baptist Convention, there is also a Free Will Baptist convention. And the Fraternity of Baptist Churches in Cuba, which broke off from the western convention in 1989 over theological and administrative differences, has a partnership with the Alliance of Baptists.
In recent years the four groups have worked more closely together than in the past. All are members of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA), the global umbrella group for Baptists. In 2000 the BWA General Council met in Havana — the first-ever international Baptist gathering held in the communist nation. During that meeting a Baptist delegation met with Cuban President Fidel Castro. The meeting opened doors for projects including Bible distribution and open-air services in 1999, allowed for the first time in four decades.
Though difficult, Baptist work in Cuba has exploded in recent years. In 2004, Denton Lotz, who has since retired as BWA general secretary, reported that more than 2,500 house churches had been started in the previous eight years. That more than doubled the number of churches, and the number of worshipers had grown from 80,000 to 200,000.
The eastern convention is involved in an evangelistic push with a goal of reaching 500,000 people by 2010. The western convention aims to plant 1,000 new house churches during the same period.
Christians in Cuba endured hardships after Castro took power in 1959, but he relaxed restrictions in the 1990s, saying it was a mistake to make atheism the official religion of the Cuban Revolution. In 1994 he opened membership in the Communist Party to Christians. Pope John Paul II visited Cuba in 1998.

Q: Mixing Thrust and cuBLAS unexpected results in output I love thrust library, especially how it nicely hides complexity of cudaMalloc, cudaFree etc.. .
I want to sum all the columns of a matrix. So I used cuBlas's "cublasSgemv" and multiple my matrix by a vector of ones. Here is my code:
void sEarColSum(std::vector<float>& inMatrix, int colSize)
{
    cublasHandle_t handle; // CUBLAS context
    float al = 1.0f; // al =1
    float bet = 1.0f; // bet =1
    int rowSize = inMatrix.size() / colSize;

    float *devOutputPtr = thrust::raw_pointer_cast(thrust::device_malloc<float>(colSize));

    thrust::device_vector<float> deviceT2DMatrix(inMatrix.begin(), inMatrix.end());
    float* device2DMatrixPtr = thrust::raw_pointer_cast(deviceT2DMatrix.data());

    thrust::device_vector<float> deviceVector(rowSize, 1.0f);
    float* deviceVecPtr = thrust::raw_pointer_cast(deviceVector.data());

    cublasCreate(&handle);
    cublasSgemv(handle, CUBLAS_OP_N, colSize, rowSize, &al, device2DMatrixPtr, colSize, deviceVecPtr, 1, &bet, devOutputPtr, 1);

    std::vector<float> outputVec(colSize);
    cudaMemcpy(outputVec.data(), devOutputPtr, outputVec.size() * sizeof(float), cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost);

    for (auto elem : outputVec)
        std::cout << elem << std::endl;
}

int main(void)
{
    std::vector < float > temp(100, 1); // A vector of 100 elements each 1
    sEarColSum( temp, 10 ); // Means my vector will have 10 columns and 100/10 = 10 rows
  //so I expect a output vector with 10 elements. Which all elements have the value of 10.
}

Unfortunately result are just garbage. I were expecting a vector of ten elements with each value is ten. But instead what I get is :
30
30
-2.80392e+036
30
30
-4.95176e+029
30
6.64319e+016
-3.72391e+037
30

Am I missing anything, where did my code went wrong?
And secondly is there anyway to check forexample "float* device2DMatrixPtr" with debugger? Visual studio shows its adress but since it is in GPU memory it does not show the data inside of the adress.

A: The cublas function gemv does a matrix-vector product:
y = alpha*A*x + beta*y

The y in your above equation is represented by your devOutputPtr which you are allocating like this:
float *devOutputPtr = thrust::raw_pointer_cast(thrust::device_malloc<float>(colSize));

Ordinary thrust allocations like this:
thrust::device_vector<float> my_vec...

will allocate and initialize the storage, but thrust::device_malloc only allocates the storage, it does not initialize it.
Therefore your y "vector" initially contains garbage.  If you had set your beta to zero, then it would not matter.  But since your beta is set to 1, the contents of this uninitialized area are added to your result vector.
If you set
float bet = 0.0f;

I think you'll get the expected results  (I do, with that change.)
Regarding this question:

And secondly is there anyway to check forexample "float* device2DMatrixPtr" with debugger?

You can just print the deviceT2DMatrix values out using e.g. printf or std::cout.  Thrust will copy the values device->host "under the hood" for you, to facilitate that.  If you want to access the device copies in the debugger, use the device-debug capability of nsight VSE on windows, or nsight EE or cuda-gdb on linux


When we get to a town or region we've never been before, our first stop is always the office of tourism. Some of you may find this habit really "touristic". We see it as a way to give us information on what we really want to do. Office of Tourism will know about the touristic areas as well as the hidden gems you may not find on your own. Our other sources of information are hotel concierge, restaurant servers, and people we meet at cafes.
On Wednesday afternoon, after we dropped our luggage at the hotel, we walked to the Office of Tourism located downtown Tours. We decided we wanted to visit a couple of castles [has to be done in this region of France], go on a bike ride, and visit local wineries [another must in this area].
Thursday was the day we thought about renting bikes. We got up around 10:00 AM [an early morning when you are jet lagged] and walked to the bike rental shop. When we got there, all bikes were already gone. We had not plan on a holiday. The entire 4 days were booked solid with close to no chance of getting bikes. To tell you the truth we were pretty disappointed, but did not give up. After talking to the guy behind the counter, he finally agreed to take down our names and he would reserve the first bikes returned, if any, for Friday. There was one condition, be there right away in the morning when they open the doors. Friday morning we walk up at 8:00 AM to be first in-line. When we arrived, there were 3 people already waiting. The shop was not open yet. The three young guys decided to walk around for a while, which put us first in-line. YES! When the store open, 3 bikes had been return and we got 2 of them. SCORE!
We decided to go east towards Vouvray, a little town located 7 km from Tours. The town is known for its vineyards. It was close to noon when we got to the village. The church bells were ringing and we decided to find a café. Not knowing where to find one, I told my friend to find the church. There is always a café by the church in France. Bingo, I was right. We sat at the terrace and had a wonderful glass of Vouvray Petillant [A sparkling white wine]. A young couple seating next to us had bought some bread and fresh cheese at the market. When they left, they offered us what was left of their purchase as they were going on with their day. We enjoyed an atypical lunch on the terrace overlooking the town.
"La Loire a Velo"or Loire by Bike is a route following the Loire river from Cuffy (Cher department) to Saint-Brevin-Les-Pins (Loire Atlantique department) and covering 800 Km. Visitors can rent bikes in other 10 places along the route. These various points are part of a network of businesses working together to give tourists the best experience possible. Rent for a day or a week, enjoy the ride, and they'll take care of all your belongings from point-to-point. We rented for one day, but saw their work in action at one of the stop in Villandry.
We rented with Detours de Loire located downtown Tours, just steps away from our hotel. The cost for the day was 15 euro per bike, including lock, pump, and repair kit. For a full week rental the price is only 60 Euro. There is an additional cost if the bike is collected in a place and dropped off in another. The fee is calculated based on a zone. Within the same zone, the fee is 8 Euro per bike, in a different zone, you pay 8 euro for the first zone plus 2 euro per zone. I do not know if these prices include luggage transfers and/or storage. The network is available from the beginning of May to the end of September.
Confirm opening hours (not all partners have similar hours, some of them are located in small villages and may have different hours from the ones located in larger town).
Check French Holiday Calendar to avoid last minute surprises.

Metabole alkalose is een te hoge pH (> 7,45) van het bloed, dat wordt veroorzaakt door een tekort aan zure of een overschot aan basische stoffen. Dit overschot of tekort kan door veel oorzaken ontstaan, zoals een stoornis in het metabolisme van cellen, het innemen van alkalische stoffen (zoals carbonaat bij Rennies), of verlies van zuur door bijvoorbeeld veelvuldig braken.

Respiratoire alkalose is een andere zuur-base probleem en ontstaat wanneer door hyperventilatie (snelle, diepe ademhaling) te veel CO2 uit het bloed verwijderd wordt. De meest voorkomende oorzaak van hyperventilatie en van respiratoire alkalose is stress.

Behandeling
Pathologische metabole alkalose kan worden behandeld door water en elektrolyten (natrium en kalium) aan te vullen en de oorzaak te behandelen. Bij zeer ernstige metabole alkalose wordt soms verdund zuur in de vorm van ammoniumchloride toegediend.

Title of Invention : A REFRIGERATOR COMPRISING A FAST COOLING COMPARTMENT
The present invention relates to a refrigerator comprising a fast cooling compartment.
Generally the cooler compartment is preferred for cooling the drinks. Since cooling takes time in the cooler compartment, the freezer compartment is used when fast cooling of the drinks is desired. When the cooled container is forgotten in the freezer compartment, the drink and even the container comprising the drink becomes damaged. Therefore, drinks are preferred to be cooled in the cooler compartment which is warmer than the freezer compartment. However, it takes a long time to cool the drinks in the cooler compartment, without being able to meet instantaneous cold drink demand of the user.
In the state of the art special mechanisms are present, developed for fast cooling of cans or bottles placed in the cooler compartment, using cold fluids or a fan directing cold air on a bottle.
In the refrigeration mechanisms of the state of the art, the drink containers are placed in a bearer, and the drink container is cooled rapidly by said bearer being rotated rotating the container. In such applications, the bearer also generates a thermal load and additional energy needs to be consumed for cooling thereof.
State of the art United States patent no. US7343748 discloses a refrigerator comprising a fast cooling compartment placed in the cooler compartment, rotating about its own axis, on which cold air is blown by a fan, and in which the bottle to be cooled is placed.
The aim of the present invention is to realize a refrigerator comprising a fast cooling compartment enabling fast cooling of the food and drinks placed in the cooler compartment.
The refrigerator realized to achieve the aim of the present invention and disclosed in the first aim and the dependent aims comprises a freezer compartment and a cooler compartment. The refrigerator further comprises a fast cooling compartment having a body placed in the cooler compartment, an evaporator provided behind the body, a fan distributing the cold air in the body by being provided behind the body, and a control unit enabling activation of the evaporator when desired and/or deactivating thereof after completion of a period of time determined by the user and/or the producer.
In an embodiment of the invention, the body is covered by an insulation unit in order to prevent the temperature of the fast cooling compartment from being decreased immediately by the temperature of the cooler compartment.
In an embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator comprises a cover enabling access into the fast cooling compartment.
In an embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator comprises guides provided on the side walls of the body, and a tray placed on the guides. The guides have a telescopic rail form. The telescopic rails are connected to the cover by means of a coupling member. Thus, the telescopic rails move automatically when the user opens the cover, and the tray comes out.
In an embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator comprises an ice making unit suitable for being placed in the fast cooling compartment. By this, ice can be made in the cooler compartment as well as the freezer compartment.
In an embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator comprises at least one door enabling access into the cooler compartment and/or the freezer compartment, and a control panel provided on the door, enabling the user to access the control unit. By this, the user can control the fast cooling compartment without opening the door, avoiding excessive energy consumption.
The exemplary embodiments of the refrigerator realized to achieve the aims of the present invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Lower insulation piece
Upper insulation piece
Ice making unit
The refrigerator (1) comprises a freezer compartment (2) in which the food to be frozen are placed and a cooler compartment (3) in which the food to be cooled are placed, maintained at a higher temperature than the freezer compartment (2).
The refrigerator (1) of the invention comprises a fast cooling compartment (8) having a body (4) placed in the cooler compartment (3), an evaporator (5) placed on the body (4) so that at least a portion thereof has thermal conduction with the body (4), a fan (6) provided in the body (4) enabling conveyance of the cold air coming from the evaporator (5) into the body (4), and a control unit (7) enabling cooling of the body (4) by activating the evaporator (5) when desired by the user.
The user activates the fast cooling compartment (8) after placement of the food or drink which is desired to be cooled rapidly in the body (4). The evaporator (5) in contact with the body (4) is activated upon activation of the fast cooling compartment (8), and the cold air coming from the evaporator (5) is distributed in the body (4) by means of the fan (6). The control unit (7) deactivates the evaporator (5) feeding the fast cooling compartment (8) after completion of a period of time predetermined by the producer. Thus, the food is prevented from freezing or bottles are prevented from bursting when forgotten in the fast cooling compartment (8).
In an embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator (1) comprises an insulation unit (9) placed around the body (4) so as to surround the body (4), enabling maintenance of the temperature of the fast cooling compartment (8). The insulation unit (9) enables maintenance of the cold air in the fast cooling compartment (8) disposed in the cooling compartment (3) for a further period of time after cooling thereof.
In an embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator (1) comprises a cover (12) enabling access into the fast refrigeration compartment (8). By this, the food desired to be cooled rapidly, are placed in the body (4).
In an embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator (1) comprises a tray (13) on which the materials to be cooled are placed, mounted on two guides mutually provided on the side walls of the body (4). The volume of the fast cooling compartment (8) provided on the cooling compartment (3) can be so small that a hand cannot get in, with the purpose of preventing occupation of a large space. By means of the tray (13), the user first pulls the tray (13) provided in the body (4), then he/she puts the food he/she desires to cool on the tray (13), and places the tray (13) in the body (4) by pushing.
In an embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator (1) comprises a fast cooling compartment (8) suitable for placing an ice making unit (14) within. By this, fast ice making can be performed.

Q: How to set correct position() of a div that is dynamically positioned I'm making an api call and displaying the info in a div. When I run $(window).scrollTop($('#div').position().top), it returns a position of top: 267px. When viewing the same div in the browser, its position is actually top: 2058px.
Therefore, when I run the code
window.addEventListener('message',function(event) {
 if(window.location.href.indexOf('?queryParam=') > -1) {
    $('.button').click(function(){
      $(window).scrollTop($('#div').position().top);
    });
  }
  return;
 },false);

It scrolls to top: 267px rather than top: 2058px where the div is actually visible in the browser.
My theory is that because the div isn't static and instead is being pulled dynamically via an api call, in the event listener, it only accounts for where the div is positioned during the split second when it's being retrieved and not yet placed correctly within the browser.

A: You are using position().top to get the div's scroll-position.
But this will give you the div's position relative to its parent element.
While incredibly handy in other cases, in your situation it doesn't give the desired value.
In your case you need the div's position relative to the window, since it is the window that you're scrolling.
For that you need to use offset().top, this will give you an element's position relative to the document, no matter how the element is structured on the page:
$(window).scrollTop($('#div').offset().top);

My question is do we receive the Holy Spirit of God today? If so, what is its operation in our lives?
The gifts of the spirit were for a limited time (John 14:16; Acts 2:39; 1 Corinthians 13:8-13) which ended with the death of the apostles, who were only ones who could pass on the spirit (Acts 8:12-19; 19:6). That was all before the Bible was complete.
To sum up the answer, we do not receive the Holy Spirit gifts today, though we have God's word which was written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and it is what we should put into operation in our daily lives.


Sarod is a fretless plucked stringed instrument immediately recognisable by its large, skin-covered resonator and polished metal fingerboard. Having evolved from the Afghani rabab around 1830s, sarod is a relatively young instrument. Like the sitar, it's older cousine, sarod too has a distinct repertoire that is independent of vocal music. Since the 20th century, the style associated with these two popular instruments has become the predominant style of the north Indian instrumental music. Notwithstanding the above, during the past few decades, some instrumentalists have attempted to incorporate in to their style, materials and idioms from vocal music, commonly referred as gayaki ang.
Amjad Ali Khan ranks among the most popular instrumentalists of our time. As a direct descendent of Ghulam Ali Khan, who is considered as an important figure in the early history of sarod, Amjad Ali Khan is hailed as the most orthodox among the traditional and the most progressive among the creative. The internationally acclaimed maestro has worked with some of the greatest artistes across the globe.
Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash; Amjad Ali's two sons and disciples, have outstanding individual accomplishments, and represent the seventh generation of the Seniya Bangash music lineage.
In this recital the duo will take to the stage first, followed by the maestro's recital including some traditional compositions. In the grand finale, the father and the sons will present a form of semi-classical composition known as ragamala (lit. garland of ragas).


For the performance of THE SOIL, THE WATER, THE JUNGLE by visual artist Müge Yilmaz next tuesday 17/01 in M HKA, we are looking for 2 female performers to navigate very slowly in camouflage suits through the museum. You should be available on 17/01 from 4pm - 11pm, the performnce is ongoing from 7pm - 11pm. We provide 100 euros all in pp.


Follow-me is a tracking software. Each performer (or: target) requires an operator and Follow-Me allows each operator to assign unlimited fixtures from any manufacturer in any orientation to their target. Multiple persons can be followed from one machine. Via a control channel Follow-Me allows full fixture control to be returned to the lighting console. All fixtures patched in Follow-Me can be assigned to any target. With the Follow-Me package anyone can start following people with any moving heads.
Use of traditional spotlights is often takes up a lot of space and also costs a bunch. The risk assessments from having to put followspotters in dangerous positions also take a lot of time. With Follow-Me, these things are now in the past. Follow-Me can be used with any light that is able to pan and tilt from any manufacturer. No new specific moving heads are needed in your setup, resulting in further cost savings. A complete Follow-Me system barely takes up any space, and can thus easily be transported in a compact peli-case, reducing transport and logistics costs. Follow-spotters can now stay seated in a safe area backstage, instead of having to go up in dangerous positions for multiple hours.
Also, if you want to follow more people, the software has you covered. All you need is another Follow-Me Mouse Console, so you can follow an unlimited amount of persons with one system. Thanks to the network-based structure, multiple 3D mouse consoles can be integrated into the system via network cables and controlled live by a corresponding number of operators.
For the Follow-Me software, we have two kinds of licenses. With the lite license, you are only able to control 3 fixtures with one target, while with the full license you are able to control an unlimited amount of fixtures with an unlimited amount of targets.
Setting up and using Follow-Me is easy. The software is able to store the X, Y and Z values of the moving lights and the stage - data that can be determined in no time or taken from CAD drawings or visualizations. The system works live and works absolutely fluently and realistically through the control of human operators. An operator receives the complete overview via the camera fed directly into the software. The control of the so-called "target"-cross is done via the own Follow-Me Mouse Console, which consists of encoders and buttons to be mapped to any certain action. Additionally, Follow-Me Fader Consoles are available to for example control height offset or gobo's. All Follow-Me hardware products were developed under the aspect of absolute touring ability.
To an existing Follow-Me system you can always add more moving heads, add more mappings and also add certain extensions such as TraXYZ autotracking.
By merging with the light control desk, the position can be recorded and tracked live by the Follow Spot operator. All other data comes from the console operator. The specially designed fixture for the Follow-Me software allows the desk operator to specify for each cue exactly who has control of the moving lights and their channels. This saves budget especially for smaller productions, because the Moving lights used are not blocked by the Follow-Me control, but can be fully integrated into the light show at any time. For more complex shows with moving elements Follow-Me has a motion control integration and the PSN protocol.
With Follow-Me TraXYZ, the Follow-Me system is transformed to an automated tracking solution, with the advantage of not needing operators to manually follow the performers.
The performers wear small tags. Multiple fixtures can be assigned to follow the performers through automated tracking. By adding a TraXYZ server to a Follow-Me system, you have the advantage of a clear screen view as a visual reference of the performers at all times and still the possibility to manually take control when preferred.
This is an extension on top of the Follow-Me software. If you have any questions regarding the use of autotracking for your show, please get in touch with us so we can propose a custom solution for your project.


Superfly 2 is tonight. It's going to be a great night of boxing on HBO but I feel like it's going to be a hard sell for me to try and convince you to tune in to see a man named Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, although he has risen to become one of the best in the game. I understand this newsletter is Boxing LITE, and a card highlighting the super flyweight division is a acquired taste $9 IPA.
So rather than fruitlessly try to sell you on a guy named Wisaksil Wangek (ya, get this, Rungvisai is just his alias, rolls right of the tongue doesn't it).
So instead of that, read this article to get a little info on the guy.
He shocked the boxing world when he beat Chocolatito last year in New York (Was shocking, I was there bro). And then did it all over again in a much bigger way. The first time by majority decision, the second time with a big knockout. You beat the pound for pound most dominant fighter who had had a perfect record of 46-0, then I guess you're the guy.
Another interesting tid bit I love about this guy, he's not the product of protective promotion. He was 1-3-1 in his first 5 professional fights.


San Mateo Dojo organized a kendo tournament to celebrate their 30th anniversary, on March 19, 2011. MVKD performed rather well: J. Heo won the Kantosho (fighting spirit) award in the Youth division, and Mountain View Team A (senpo: S. Choi, jiho: W.-F. Chiang, chuken: P. Sengupta, fukusho: I. Kwon, taisho: J. Kim) placed second in the Adult Teams' division. Mountain View Team A lost a closely-fought final to San Mateo Team A. Congratulations to all the winners!
