HOTEL MARIACHI Booksigning!
4:47 PM Brooklyn & Boyle 0 Comments
Join us this Sunday for a HOTEL MARIACH: Urban Space and Cultural Heritage in Los Angeles book signing with the authors. The event will be held at Libros Schmibros from 12 - 3pm on Mariachi Plaza during the 23rd Annual Mariachi Festival in Boyle Heights. We hope to see you there. Pick up your latest edition of Brooklyn & Boyle while you're there. Here's the review I've written.
Hotel Mariachi: Urban Space and Cultural Heritage in Los Angeles is a book that operates in a critical and pivotal nexus. It could not be more necessary, urgent, timely or beautiful if it tried. At once scholarly and a divinely inspired treatise on the art and culture of mariachi, the book is also a love letter to the ghosts of mariachi music and the city of Los Angeles, historic Boyle Heights and those itinerant musicians who have yet to arrive.
Part family history, part literary and photo-documentary as well as a sterling work of ethno-musicology, Hotel Mariachi brings together the family memoir, a glittering portfolio of photographs in homage to the humble musicians who have plied their trade from the famed Mariachi Plaza for over half a century and a serious, in-depth study of mariachi as a musical form unto itself through a look at the annual celebration in honor of every musician's patron saint, Santa Cecilia.
As important as all those elements are, they could not have coalesced without Kurland's love for architecture and the efforts by so many, including staff and executive leadership at East Los Angeles Community Corporation, to preserve the cultural legacy of Boyle Heights while creating affordable housing stock. The book, as a result, posits the well-supported theory that mariachi and Los Angeles are lassoed together as much as the country of Mexico and the regal musical form that has come to define all things Mexican are bound.
In the process, Catherine López Kurland uncovers her family history, it's connection to the birth of Los Angeles as a city and the de-Mexicanization of her past as a result of a belief that being a descendant of Spanish "Californios" was somehow superior to status as a person of mixed indigenous and African heritage. Imagine the surprise and shock among the families who claim roots among the early settlers when they realized that the original "Angelenos" were mulattoes and mestizos.
In her essay tracing the rise, eventual decline and then the Phoenix-like resurrection of the Boyle Hotel, Kurland does not gloss over the fictional fantasy created in the homes of her forebears. In that family revision of actual history, a gallant, horseback "caballero," sailed all the way around the tip of Argentina, up the Pacific and into the Los Angeles River Basin directly from Spain. The simple truth was that on one side of her family tree were landed Mexican homesteaders and on the other were Anglo settlers who married into Mexican families as much for convenience as for love.
It was one such union that resulted in the partitioning of the land around and below the "White Bluffs," or as it was known then, "El Paredón Blanco." This led to the development of the Boyle Heights that we have all come to know and love, the Boyle Heights we see around us today.
And had it not been for the marriage between Sacramenta López and George Cummings, an entrepreneur from Croatia who followed the Gold Rush to San Francisco—and with his earnings as a farmer who fed and supplied the miners, was able to purchase ranch land near Tehachapi—the Boyle Hotel and Boyle Heights might never have been built.
Kurland writes with clear scholarship in a readable style. While emotionally close to the historic circumstances she has researched thoroughly, she does not shy away from a need to uncover the truth and thus establish a basis for her preservation efforts. The efforts, which—as Evangeline Ordaz-Molina so eloquently shares in her introduction—dovetailed nicely with a vision among leadership at ELACC, for the resuscitation of a landmark, the restoration of the architectural icon imbued with the identity of a neighborhood and profoundly rooted in the songs and the soul of mariachi.
A compliment to Kurland's riveting family history and the poetically erudite essay be Enrique Lamadrid which covers the history, the mechanics and lyrical truth inherent in mariachi music while illustrating the importance of the lesser known but no less important annual tribute to Santa Cecilia, Miguel Gandert delivers an array of modern-day musical saints with his honest, tender portraits. In page after page of indelible images, Gandert has absorbed the heart of mariachi and the psyche of a people.
The photographs alone would be enough to make this volume an important addition to anyone's library. His photos are not mere sociological or anthropological studies. Each frame speaks to a conversation held off camera. The mariachi musicians are instantaneously welcomed as family. One gets the sense that Gandert has spoken to each of them and won them over. Their expressions are honest, never posed. They have allowed themselves to relax completely and display no self-consciousness. It is a thing of rare beauty indeed, much like the restoration of the Boyle or "Mariachi" Hotel.

Mystery Surrounds Mohammad Javad Zarif's 'Resignation'
by Seth Frantzman
https://www.meforum.org/57882/mystery-mohammad-zarifs-resignation
A day after Mohammad Javad Zarif announced his resignation on Instagram, the foreign minister of Iran is receiving support from members of parliament amid calls for the president not to accept his decision.
The resignation of Iran's most famous diplomat and the man often seen as the foreign face of Tehran has plunged Iran's highest levels of government and media into a momentary sense of bewilderment and lack of certainty.
It illustrates not only the differences within the regime but also the ability of news organizations in Tehran to gather news with some levels of independence, more than in other totalitarian regimes. The Iranian Students News Agency, for instance, provides a discussion about various "sources" close to Zarif and President Hassan Rouhani's office.
According to the report, there are other diplomats who will resign if Zarif indeed leaves the foreign ministry. Rouhani's chief of staff Mahmous Vaezi even initially denied that the resignation had taken place. ISNA also reported that the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamanei, had a say in Zarif retaining his post.
It was not clear if that meant the leader might step in or if Khamenei wanted to push Zarif out. Meanwhile, up to 150 members of parliament have reportedly signed a letter urging Rouhani to reject the resignation. There are 290 seats in parliament.
Fars News noted that Zarif was displeased by his absence from the meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad on Monday. He had not been invited, apparently, or had not received adequate information about the high-level meeting. These were "subtle" and "delicate" matters, Iranian media reported, noting that Zarif and Rouhani had differences of opinion over foreign policy.
There are rumors that Zarif opposed the increasing role of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in foreign policy and that he represented a more "moderate" agenda in Iran. But Zarif has also previously tweeted support for the IRGC, so it is not a simple story of hard-liners and moderates.
Zarif had faced criticism and challenges in parliament dating back to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal discussions. He was frequently accused of a variety of misdeeds. A key antagonist was Javad Karim Ghoddousi, who was involved in a series of challenges to the key diplomat's role. Zarif was critiqued for trusting the US, for traveling to France, for paying respects to Kurds, for mentioning corruption at home, and a litany of other issues. But is that what broke him in the end?
Zarif wants the foreign ministry to have more power. His resignation also must be accepted by the president. However, a Telegram channel linked to the IRGC celebrated his resignation, an indication that there are many people who dislike Zarif. The mystery over Zarif's fate will continue to plague Iran even as the regime seeks to boast of its regional influence.
This is a challenge for Tehran because for the last several years, it has shown a united front to the Middle East and the world, seeking to portray the US as flip-flopping on policies. Zarif was a key in that narrative, accusing the US of isolating itself.
In an interview published on Fars News, Zarif indicated that he believed it was important to combine diplomacy with action on the ground.
"When we do that we have success." This appeared to imply that Iran's government should act as one, with the IRGC and other aspects of state power coordinating with the foreign ministry. "We must remove foreign policy from an issue of party or factional struggle. That is a fatal poison for foreign policy and it must not be the subject of partisan [politics]. There must be a trust in foreign policy workers at the national level; without it everything goes awry."
He may have been predicting and articulating the choice he was about to make in resigning. If so, he has become a victim of the factional fighting and attempts to weaken the foreign ministry that he warned about. If not, it means that Zarif is making a ploy out of this resignation to gain more power either in government or parliament.

The step chest is a type of tansu designed to provide passage to attic spaces in Japanese homes. This miniature Tansu chest measures 2' high x 2' long x 1' wide. Each chamber of the chest highlights an aspect of Andi's life.
The Japanese Kanji symbols on the side of the chest reflect Andi's qualities that helped guide her through her illness. From top down - heart, wisdom, strength, and optimism.
The three ginkgo leaves at the front base of the tansu provide a directional element to the first drawer, childhood.
The frog and turtle drawer pulls of the childhood drawer provide a hint to her whimsical and happy childhood.
CHILDHOOD: Seven children in the family, all of whom became doctors. Dad is a physician and Mom a Ph.D.
Though pre-med, she never lost focus of her artistic side and was an art history major.
Medical school was followed by a radiology residency.
The door pulls to this chamber are mahjong pieces, 4-4 being Andi's age when she passed.
HOBBIES: Photography & Pottery. The coiled paper in the pot says "Just once I would like to make a really big bowl" - A.S.

Memories of your passion for life and for art compelled me to complete it.
You will be with me on the journeys to come, whatever they may be.

My plan was never to be an actor like my father.
What's wrong with extreme dieting and hard-core fitness plans is that they don't take into account the rest of your life.
I have had no discussions for [Brad] Marchand and I have no plans to trade him.
I don't have a single plan for my life more important than learning to love people well.
I never really worked with Chris Farley, I hung out with him, but I had plans, I had big plans, movies, and I was in no hurry.
People do not plan to mess up their lives. They just don't plan not to.
God's purposes are not for me to understand His plans: His plan is for me to understand Who He is.

The Schmidt: https://soundcloud.com/theschmidtmusic
Launching his music career from the Bay Area, San Francisco based producer, The Schmidt has been seeing a lot of success. Still early in his career, he has already performed at festivals such as SXSW, SnowGlobe, Northern Nights, How Weird Festival as well as some of the most prominent venues around US. The Schmidt is getting a lot of support from crowds and gaining a keen following from the scene's main heads. He's known for his bass line house music as well as his electric DJ sets. His unique take on House music is full of energy, while drawing influence from Classic House, G House and UK Garage. Having recent releases on House of Hussle, Build It Records, Brooklyn Fire etc, 2018 is set to be The Schmidt's biggest year yet.
Atty G: https://soundcloud.com/attygmusic
Grimy. Raw. Bangin'. These are just a few words Atty G's fans use to describe his productions and DJ sets. If you want more adjectives you'll have to consult a thesaurus...meanwhile Atty G is busy laying down beats and getting everyone hot and sweaty on the dance floor!
Suneth Attygalle is Atty G.
Is he classically trained in violin? Yup. Is he a doctor of physical therapy? Perhaps. Has he been booked to support acts like Shiba San, Billy Kenny, and Worthy with beatport-charted music released on Daniel Fernandes' label LZR TRP? Sure, but who's counting? Atty G speaks with his music, not his accolades.
What you really need to know about Atty G is he is the future of West Coast House Music. Atty G may have been raised in Ithaca, New York but he now makes his home in the Bay Area splitting time between San Francisco and Fresno where residents know a thing or two about good music.
Formerly known for his more laid back productions, Atty G now focuses on blasting his vision of bass-driven house music through speaker boxes all over the world. If you like booty bouncin' House music with Trap and Breaks influences, Atty G is your guy. If you don't like that kind of music, well, you probably haven't heard Atty G drop his heat yet.
IceCreams: https://soundcloud.com/icecreamsluvsu
IceCreams (f.k.a. Sean Rynhard) has shared the stage with huge names including Walker and Royce, Justin Martin, Green Velvet, Maximono, Sacha Robotti, and many more. The eclectic and nurturing vibe of San Francisco propelled him into producing his own style of music from the get-go. His live sets offer a mixture of sonically soothing and unexpected, and his productions are a staple in many renowned DJ's sets.
Willaa: https://soundcloud.com/djwillaa/
If you want to make the world a happier place, play it a song.
That's Willaa's philosophy, and it's the bumping rhythm at the heart of his sound. From his DJ sets to his productions, Willaa's music pulses with an excitable, positive energy. It's his mission to infect the world with groove. Each set is another opportunity to dig into your soul, each dance floor a bed for seeds to grow into pure, danceable joy.
Raised on wild Florida nights, he's found his spiritual home in San Francisco. Inspired by the neon hum of the historic city's cybernetic streets, he blends electronic textures with organic elements to create a swirl of psychedelia no breathing body can ignore. Is it technosoul? Is it freakhouse? Where Willaa's going, you don't need words.
Comfortable spinning house, disco, techno, and everything in between, his current obsession is all about fresh blends of bass and funk. He fits his style into every nook and cranny of the underground dance world, from dim-lit speakeasies to cramped house parties, abandoned military bunkers, crowded caves, and verdant festival fields. Willaa works the scene into sweaty, smiling mania, casting musical spells that pluck wall flowers from their inhibitions.
The world is a crazy place, but hope and happiness wait in the space between the beats. Willaa wants to play, and he wants to create, but more than anything, he wants you to move, and he'll stop at nothing until you do.

Two strangers, Seat 4E. Seat 4D. Nothing in common. Absolutely Nothing. Except they're both hoping the seat next to them remains empty.
Mid-flight turbulence and infant incontinence force them to interact! The cool Wall Street guy. The mom with the drool stained sweater and ordinary aspirations.
Opposing views, blistering wit, judgemental sarcasm, and some unexpectedly poignant admissions- keeps them addictively engaged and hopelessly sleep deprived through the fifteen-hour journey.
Touch down. They leave the cabin without a backward glance Jump right back into their dramatically different lives. Never to meet again.
But their journeys remain interlocked through an inexplicable connectedness.
Can one meeting change everything forever? The Japanese have a term for it – ichigo ichie. One time, one encounter, lasts a lifetime.


It's always great to return to a building project to see the end result of our complimentary kitchen design service. This recent building project in the beautiful village of Eyam did not disappoint. The kitchen units are Ashbourne PTO in the colour of Stone and a Silestone worktop in Stellar Black with drainer grooves cut in around the sink.
There is also an under mounted ceramic bowl and a half Franke sink with Franke mixer tap.The Rangemaster oven and extractor work well with Stellar Black Silestone and the grey glass splash back. Glass splash backs and upstands are available in any colour with some on show in our High Peak Kitchen Showrooms.
The peninsular allows seating for at least two people and also contains a slimline wine cooler.The curved units are complimented by the curved worktop and curved walls within the Silestone window sills too.

This is probably not the reaction anti-cop protesters were hoping for from Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake — better armed cops!
The pledge was made after Rawlings-Blake acknowledged that officers did not have enough shields or body armor during the April riots, when about 160 officers were injured.
At least she's thinking ahead.

Julian Speroni discusses his role at Palace and reveals how he is helping Vicente Guaita
Eagles legend discusses the competition for places after signing new contract
Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni has spoken of his desire to keep playing for the Eagles, after signing a new contract with the club.
The 39-year-old has signed a one-year contract extension with the Eagles, prolonging his stay in south London to 15 years, having originally signed for Palace from Dundee in 2004.
Since then, he has gone on to make the most appearances by a goalkeeper at Palace - 403 - while he has won the club's player of the year award on four separate occasions, more than any other player.
But while he faces increased competition in the goalkeeping department this year following the summer arrival of Vicente Guaita from Getafe, Speroni says he still wants to play his part to help the team.
"I am always willing to play, I think I could be 50 and will still be looking to keep playing," he said in an interview for www.eagles.cpfc.co.uk.

"I love football and have a real passion for the game, and if I can get some games this season that would be great.
What Julian Speroni has said after signing a new one-year deal with Crystal Palace
"But I am here to help the team achieve great things."
With fellow goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey signing a new three-year contract and Guaita arriving with a good reputation from his time in Spain, there is likely to be strong competition between the goalkeepers this season at Palace.
'That's the goalkeepers sorted' - Some Palace fans have their say as duo sign new deals
And Speroni says that competition is healthy, while the Argentine has also revealed the role he has played this week in helping Guaita settle into life at his new club, with the 31-year-old having no previous experience of playing in England.
"I'm here to help him and help ensure that he settles quickly, and help him with the language as well, because we speak the same language, and try to make him feel welcome," he said.

"We try to build a good group, which we already had here with the goalkeepers, and we work well together.
"And Vicente [Guaita] has adapted really well in the days we have trained so far, he has been really good, and hopefully we can continue."

The following is a press release from Texas Tech Athletics
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech remains one of only nine teams in the nation still unbeaten and is up two spots to No. 11 in this week's Associated Press Top 25 and USA TODAY Coaches Poll.
Along with the two national polls, the Red Raiders (8-0) moved up one spot to No. 4 in the NCAA NET Rankings and to No. 9 in the ESPN Power Rankings after spending the past two weeks at No. 10. Statistically, TTU leads the nation by limiting opponents to only 33.7 percent shooting and is second in scoring defense (52.5) behind only Virginia which is at 51.2 points allowed per game. The team is also fifth nationally with a 24.3 margin of victory, seventh in 3-point defense (25.6%) and eighth with a plus-6 turnover margin advantage.
Texas Tech is in both national polls for the third straight week after beginning unranked in the preseason poll through the third week of the season. The team entered the polls for the first time this season at No. 19 in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll and No. 20 in the AP Top 25 in the fourth poll before moving up to No. 13 in both last week. Kansas (8-0) moved up to the top-ranked team in the nation in both polls this week, while Duke (9-1), Tennessee (7-1), Gonzaga (9-1) and Michigan (10-0) make up the AP top-five. The USA Today poll has KU, Duke, Virginia (9-0), Tennessee and Michigan as its top-five.
The Red Raiders are off to the best start since beginning the 2009-10 season with a 9-0 record and are 8-0 for only the third time in program history. TTU, which has won all eight of its games by double digits this season, began the 1929-30 season with a 12-0 record for the best start in school history in what was the fifth year of play for the program.
Texas Tech is coming off 65-47 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff in its only game last week and will now host two games this week. The Red Raiders will begin the week against Northwestern State (2-7) at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the United Supermarkets Arena before hosting Abilene Christian (9-1) at the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum. The "Throwback Game" on Saturday against ACU is the final basketball game ever in the Coliseum which saw its first game ever on Dec. 3, 1956 against Kansas State.

Incidence of anxiety and depression in a predominantly HIV-infected population with severe adverse drug reactions

Little is known on the short-term or medium-term psychological and psychiatric sequelae following Stevens Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). Based on this we did a prospective study designed to assess anxiety and depression in patients with severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions by indicating higher Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS).
We prospectively assessed 46 consecutive admissions with SJS, TEN and DRESS at a tertiary hospital in South Africa at 6 weeks and 6 months post discharge from hospital. We used a validated scoring system Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) to assess anxiety and depressive in this cohort.
Forty-six patients were seen at six weeks and (n=38) 83% were reviewed at 6 months. Seventy-six percent of the participants were females and 82% were HIV-infected. Anxiety and depression were diagnosed in 37% and 30% respectively with six weeks with 8.6% exhibiting mixed anxiety and depressive symptoms. In comparison, at six months 13% had anxiety, 55% were depressed and 18.4% showed mixed anxiety and depressive symptoms. Nine and eight percent respectively at six weeks and six months warranted referral to a psychiatrist. Twenty-five percent of patients had anxiety and 40% had depression throughout the whole six months. The incidence of anxiety and depression was significantly associated with severity of the drug reaction.
SJS/TEN and DRESS are associated with anxiety and depression for at least 6 months. SJS/TEN showed higher degree of anxiety and depression compares to DRESS. Our findings should help to improve awareness of psychological impact of severe adverse skin reactions as these may impact on treatment compliance

After last weekend's history-making win against Texas College, the Rams are ready to return to the field for another shot at victory.
The Rams (1-2) are heading west this weekend to face the Arizona Christian University Firestorm in Phoenix on Saturday.
Starting quarterback Donovan Isom wrote in an e-mail that last weekend's win really motivated the team, and they hope to improve from there.
The Rams' 36-7 win against the Steers included three touchdowns by Jermarcus Jones. It was the Rams' first on-the-field win since November 1941; the team won in a forfeit in 2017.
Head coach Joe Prud'homme wrote that he was very proud of the team and was excited to see where the program would lead this season.
This week offensive coordinator Kyle Cox has been reinstated. Cox was suspended in August after a series of tweets from 2014 were brought to light. Some people who commented on the tweets said they were offensive.
On-air announcer Jimmy Christopher wrote in an e-mail that seeing the team win was very exciting to him, and he is looking forward to the game this upcoming weekend.
Even so, Christopher believes the upcoming game will be a difficult one for the Rams.
The Firestorm were 7-3 last season, including a devastating 63-7 win against the Rams. Even so, Isom has high hopes for the upcoming game.

As one of the most important British institutions celebrates its 66th anniversary this week, the team at Trinity PR discusses the legacy and future of the NHS with John Rogers, CEO of Skills for Health, the Sector Skills Council for Health:
Why do you think it's important to mark the anniversary of the NHS?
Because the NHS is unique, respected across the world and should be treasured. Since its launch in 1948, the NHS has become an organisation that helps to define the UK. A recent Ipsos Mori poll reported that the NHS is the organisation that makes people most proud to be British (above the army, royal family and the BBC). However, negative stories make news. We know that the NHS is not perfect – but we also need to celebrate all that is good about the NHS – which is always there when we need it most.
What difference is an organisation like Skills for Health making to the NHS workforce?
Skills for Health contributes widely to workforce development. One of our main contributions is supporting the development of the wider workforce and apprenticeships. We also play a key role in working with employers to re-design their workforce to support the NHS as it moves forward to a new era. Resources such as the new Roles Directory and Employability Skills Matrix are great examples of free tools that have been designed with accessibility and ease of use in mind. We believe that providing expert guidance on building the right roles in our health service (as well as identifying the skills and training pathways needed) is part of a wider picture to ensure consistent productivity, quality, efficiency and above all, the very best in patient care.
What impact do you think recent, high profile reviews have had on the NHS workforce?
Both the Francis Inquiry Report (Feb 2013) and the Cavendish Review (July 2013) have had a significant impact on the way that we view the needs of the NHS workforce to achieve a more consistent and higher standard of patient care. Whilst the tragedies that initiated these reviews cannot be forgotten, they have introduced a new era of openness and transparency, with a firm focus on compassion and patient care.
This willingness to assess the delivery of care and review the skills, training and leadership across all Levels in the NHS workforce, provides a more open environment for Skills for Health to work collaboratively with the NHS to develop a more skilled and effective whole workforce.
Could you some of the key issues for the future for the NHS workforce?
Recruitment and retention are always key issues in any workforce – but is particularly pertinent in the NHS. While the NHS is the UK's largest employer and has a strong and loyal existing workforce, we need to think very carefully about creating the right opportunities for the next generation to enter the sector.
In the past year, we have seen the launch of the new National Skills Academy for Health – an inspiring new initiative led by employers which provides a government sponsored 'national partner', working on behalf of employers (across the NHS, independent and voluntary sectors) to improve skills and support workforce development strategies. The Academy has a strong focus on developing the support workforce, helping employers to effectively utilise apprenticeships and the transition of young people into the NHS workforce.
From our existing work on academies I am very aware of the number of young people just joining the NHS workforce with great enthusiasm and a real desire to "make a difference" for patients. We have a responsibility to encourage them to maintain their commitment to high quality compassionate care and steer them in the right direction, whether through apprenticeships, appropriate training, and other skills development. It is only by doing this that we can ensure a strong, well-trained and patient-centred workforce for the future.

This article compares inference to the best explanation with Bayes's rule in a social setting, specifically, in the context of a variant of the Hegselmann–Krause model in which agents not only update their belief states on the basis of evidence they receive directly from the world, but also take into account the belief states of their fellow agents. So far, the update rules mentioned have been studied only in an individualistic setting, and it is known that in such a setting both have their strengths as well as their weaknesses. It is shown here that in a social setting, inference to the best explanation outperforms Bayes's rule according to every desirable criterion. 1 What Is Inference to the Best Explanation?2 Judging the Rules—By Which Lights?3 From an Individualistic to a Social Perspective 3.1 The Hegselmann–Krause model 3.2 A probabilistic extension of the Hegselmann–Krause model 3.3 Simulations4 Results and Discussion5 Interpretation6 Conclusion.

Lync 2013 Spell Check – Why doesn't it work?
It's well documented that the September 2013 Lync Client update has brought us spell check natively within the Lync client.
It's also well documented that this patch breaks calendar integration which is absolutely mind blowing that a bug of that size made it through quality testing but that is a discussion for another time. However what isn't documented is what are the requirements of this feature.
Office has had a long history of not supporting spell check between product versions. For example, back when Exchange 2010 came out everyone wanted the "cool features" of Outlook 2010 but didn't want to move the rest of the Office suite so it was very common to install Office 2007 and Outlook 2010. But in this scenario, spell check didn't work within Outlook 2010 and you had to resort to crazy work-arounds like moving winword.exe from the Office12 to Office14 directory.
Spell Check in Outlook 2010 not working?
So I was curious to see if this new spell check feature resulted with the same issues and indeed it does. One of the most common deployments for Lync 2013 is Office 2010 + Lync 2013 Client. In this scenario, even with the fancy new September 2013 patch, spell check simply does not work. The option exists in the client but you will never see the red-lines.
I decided there had to be a way to make this work in 2013. So I figured, does the old trick still work? So I moved WinWord.exe from the Office14 to Office15 folder to see if spell check would work and it did not. So I started doing some research and found that in Office 2013 the team moved spell check to it's own modules. A smart move. And further research found that not only is it a separate module but a stand-alone installer exists.
So if you are using Lync 2013 client with either Office 2010 or Office 2007, you can install the stand-alone proofing tools to get the feature to work.
Awesome advise, worked like a charm. Thank you.

Aaron Nola's Top Five Starts Of 2018: No. 5, Kershaw's Return Spoiled
By Tim Kelly
Aaron Nola seemed to elevate his performance against the league's elite arms in 2018. (Brian Michael/PhilliesNation)
In 2018, Philadelphia Phillies RHP Aaron Nola turned in one of the most dominant seasons in club history. The former first-round pick went 17-6 with a 2.37 ERA, a 3.01 FIP, 5.6 bWAR and a 10.0 bWAR. This is the first installment of a series looking back on the five best start's that the 25-year-old turned in during an All-Star season.
Clayton Kershaw is the rare player whose career could conclude at age 30, and he would still be a safe bet to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Los Angeles Dodgers southpaw is a three-time National League Cy Young Award winner whose 64.6 bWAR is already higher than the career marks of Roy Halladay, Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke and John Smoltz. Not only does his 2.39 career ERA trounce any active starting pitchers, but it's the lowest career ERA by a starting pitcher in the live ball era. Kershaw's postseason struggles have been well-documented, but despite those, he has a chance to finish his career as one of the 10 most accomplished starting pitchers in baseball history.
A year after the Dodgers finished within a game of winning the Wold Series, Kershaw spent nearly the entire month of May on the disabled list with biceps tendinitis. On May 31, he returned to the mound as the Dodgers hosted the Philadelphia Phillies at Chavez Ravine. The game was supposed to mark the return of the league's best pitcher (when healthy), one the team hoped could spark a surge after a surprisingly below-average 26-29 start.
Instead, the game offered perhaps the first glimpse that Phillies righty Aaron Nola not only planned to establish himself as one of the sport's best young starters in 2018, but one of the sport's best starter's period.
The evening didn't go as planned for Kershaw, who lasted just five innings. Though Kershaw had a manageable pitch count and had limited the Phillies to four hits and one earned run, he left the game with a no-decision. It was the final time he would pitch at the major league level until June 23, as he was forced to return to the disabled list after the start.
For Nola, it's hard to imagine the game having gone any better than it did. The only two hits that the 25-year-old allowed in seven frames came in the fifth inning, when Kike Hernandez – he of Chase Utley's son fame – singled in Yasiel Puig, who had doubled earlier in the inning. In six other innings, Nola didn't allow a single hit, while striking out seven and walking just one. After being controversially pulled by manager Gabe Kapler with just 68 pitches on Opening Day, Nola topped the 110 pitch mark against the Dodgers for the second consecutive start. Nola lowered his ERA to 2.18 in a game that the Phillies would win 2-1, thanks to two RBIs from catcher Jorge Alfaro and two superb innings from rookie Seranthony Dominguez in relief of Nola.
Nola ultimately improved to 7-2 on the season in the defeat of the Dodgers. Though he had already put himself firmly in the discussion for his first All-Star Game nod, this was Nola's first dominant start while squaring off with one of the league's best arms. It wasn't the last time that he would dominate on a major stage. Counting this start, Nola posted a 0.97 ERA in 37 innings spanning five starts where he was matched up with Kershaw, Max Scherzer, Noah Syndergaard and David Price.

Oh carbs, how I love to hate thee!
So, I know I'm a carboholic. To that end, I've been taking in slightly less carbs than my tracker says I need, and increasing my protein by that amount. Seems to be working.
You know how sometimes you just get a craving and nothing else will do?
3/4 oz of buttermilk pancake = one (of 6 daily) carb exchange. I have the same cravings now and again, I can slot it all in. No need to feel guilty.

Amazon Studios Tumble Leaf Series For Kids #TumbleLeaf
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Amazon Studios. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and promotional item to thank me for participating.
Play, Nature and Exploration. Over the years, those three things have been a huge part of my life as a mom. If those things are important to you too, you have to check out the new show, Tumble Leaf.
Tumble Leaf is Amazon Studio's first ever kids series aimed at pre-school aged children. Each episode follows a day in the life of "Fig the fox" who lives in a wrecked schooner ship by the sea. Within 3 minutes of turning on Tumble Leaf for the first time, my son said "I like this show." Take a look at this clip and I think you'll understand why.
I have to admit, it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to childrens' t.v. shows. There are some shows that my sons and I enjoy together, but others that I don't see any value in. Tumble Leaf was an instant hit with my 6-year -old son and I. From the moment we turned it on, he was completely captivated by the characters, story and environment, and from a parent's perspective, I was impressed as well.
In Tumble Leaf, Fig's journeys take place throughout a whimsical land filled with adventure and friendship. The stories have a wonderful balance of education and play, which for kids, can be one in the same. My son loved watching Fig and his friends explore their world and figure things out.
The characters are always learning something new. Through play, they are learning about science and engaging with the world around them. Tumble Leaf creates a supportive and magical environment and it has a beautiful, calming sound track to match. I could listen to the show's music for hours.
Have you seen Tumble Leaf yet?
This show is now available on Amazon Prime Instant Video, and you can watch the first episode of Tumble Leaf for free on the Amazon Studios website. Just click the image below.
There's an App too!
Tumble Leaf recently launched a free Android app featuring six games inspired by objects and activities from the show. You can download the Tumble Leaf App here.
It's been a long time since I fell in love with a new children's t.v. show, but the characters, music and appreciation of child's play in Tumble Leaf stole my heart. What do you think? What type of kid's shows do you love best?

Q: Is there any bigger than 15 inches LCD monitor that works with Multi touch in Raspberry Pi 4 (Chromium browser running in Kiosk mode)? I have IIyama ProLite T2252MSC-B1 screen which has Projective Capacitive 10 point touch technology. It works like a charm under Windows 10. I was thinking the same will be on Raspberry Pi 4 running latest Raspbian and Chromium browser. But all I got was just single point like mouse emulation. Each time I touch the screen, mouse pointer is visible and moves to the direction when I touched the screen. Comparing to the responsiveness in Windows 10, Raspbian experience is terrible. Touches are not recognized precisely and instead single click sometimes it works like double click, sometimes as a long press (right click). Although in Chromium browser we have support for gestures (ex. Zoom in and out works ok, swipe left right also works ok) but touch (click) is nothing nowhere Windows 10 / mobile phone experience.
I found that this screen is using Weida Hi-Tech digitizer.
Maybe someone knows if there are some other 22 inch monitors that has same level of touch support/experience under Linux / Chromium that is offered in Windows / Chrome?

A: While searching for the solution in google I stumbled on this link:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=179663
I had exactly same issue, looks like some touch events were not recognized / behaving properly.
As a solution you have to add this line to /boot/cmdline.txt file:
usbhid.mousepoll=0

That tells the kernel to trust the usb hid devices own suggestion as to how often they should be polled.

Hi, I am Marios. Contact me.
A large double bedroom NEWLY RENOVATED to a high standard. Ideal for a professional couple with ALL BILLS INCLUDED!
Fully furnished with a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, two bedside tables, singeing table with two chairs and a two seater sofa.
DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS GREAT HOUSE!


Dear Uneasy: It is a shame that you can't reliably count on yourself to keep your mouth shut. Is it possible that your cousin "Frank" has more self-control than you have? Would it be acceptable to you if you spent time in Frank's presence and he behaved appropriately and respectfully, or do you feel compelled to shut this down, regardless?
Obviously, if you and your parents feel that Frank poses a threat to your family, then they should not hint around about it – they should flat-out tell your grandparents that he is not welcome.
However, there is always a possibility that exposure to your family would be a positive influence on your cousin. It is not your job to inspire or to try to reform him, but if he is open to spending time with you, perhaps you should be, as well. You both might learn that your preconceptions about each other are faulty.
Dear Amy: My son is a year old. His father and I are no longer together, due to the fact that he cheated on me. At first I wouldn't allow him to see my son, but in January I was over it and started to let him see my son every weekend, including sleepovers for at least one night a week.
My ex kept trying to get back together with me but I was done with him. I wanted to focus on my son. Everything was good until last month, when I announced I was dating someone. My ex got really angry and started demanding that I give him my son at the times he wanted.
I gave in, even though we had a court order stating he was only allowed to have supervised visits because of his criminal activity and his dangerous friends. I still let him take our son, until one day he tried kidnapping him.
It's been two weeks since he's last seen our son and now he's moving out of town. He wanted to see the baby before he left but I felt scared, so I told him to follow the court order. Was I being harsh in telling him no?
Dear A: The real purpose behind a court order is to protect the child, not to provide a way for you and your ex to manipulate one another. Both parents must adhere to the court order.
I worry about your judgment; for instance, why are you announcing that you are dating someone, to someone who is volatile? It is probably not a good idea for you to date anyone seriously until you are a fully competent and confident parent. Respect the order of the court, and your ex should, too.
Dear Amy: Recently you mentioned the group "Autism Speaks" in your column as a resource. I encourage "allistics" (non-autistic folk) to find information about autism from autistic activists.
I highly recommend looking at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) as an alternative nonprofit.
Dear Autistic: Thank you. The website for the Autistic Self Advocacy Network is www.autisticadvocacy.org. This site has a "library" of recommended research materials.


Boston (BOS) to London (LHR) – British Airways, A380-800, departing Boston in the early evening at 7:15pm to arrive London at 6:50 am. 6 hrs and 35 minutes duration. Flying on Sundays (with a 10 min or so later departure), Mondays, and Fridays: three days a week. On the other days the airline uses different metal (aircraft types) on this segment.
This is an overnight flight, and such redeye flights can be very nice, but it is quite short at about six and a half hours. Meaning there won't be too much time to enjoy the great A380 amenities, and also not much time to get a full nights rest while onboard the huge Airbus airplane.

8 Books You Need to Read This May
By Boris Kachka
Each month, Boris Kachka offers nonfiction and fiction book recommendations, and you should read as many of them as possible.
A God in Ruins, by Kate Atkinson (Little, Brown, May 5)
The great British writer's sideways sequel to Life After Life takes up the story of Teddy Todd — RAF pilot, husband of a childhood sweetheart, father to a clueless hippie, and brother of Ursula, the repeatedly reborn protagonist of the previous novel. Here Atkinson is more subtly postmodern, shifting between past, present, and future in ways both subversive and perfectly organic. Teddy's unexpected survival of World War II and his safer, more ambivalent postwar life are revealed in carefully layered patches, showing that suspense can be about much more than what happens next.
Orient, by Christopher Bollen (Harper, May 5)
Residing in the Venn-diagram overlap of murder-mystery, literary stem-winder, and art-world roman à clef, Bollen's second novel draws on the pleasures of all three with barely a genre hiccup. A troubled teen is put up in a summer home in the titular North Fork town — picture the Hamptons 40 years ago, when artists actually lived there and locals actually existed. As the bodies start piling up, he becomes a natural suspect. He didn't do it, of course, but who did? It's a story worthy of Patricia Highsmith — or, it turns out, the former editor-in-chief of Interview magazine.
The Green Road, by Anne Enright (W.W. Norton, May 11)
Ireland's first fiction laureate (as of January) doesn't rest on her laurels. This looping story of four siblings coping differently with the smothering embrace of their amusingly melodramatic mother — mostly by fleeing County Clare, only to return once she's widowed to reckon with failures great and small — may be even better than its close cousin, The Gathering, which won the 2007 Booker prize. As locales shift from a stubby Irish village to AIDS-ravaged gay Manhattan and famine-torn Mali, so do the tone and point of view, over which Enright exercises perfect control.
The Book of Aron, by Jim Shepard (Knopf, May 12)
Shepard deserves attention far beyond the cozy circle of writers who worship him. In short stories, he's brought to throbbing life everyone from a passenger on the Hindenburg to a lonely creature in the Black Lagoon, and in the novel Project X he imagined the shooters of Columbine as the humans they were. Aron retells the well-known story of a doomed Warsaw Ghetto orphanage through the eyes of a very young and very flawed would-be survivor, eluding mawkishness and thereby evoking tears.
Lord Fear, by Lucas Mann (Pantheon, May 12)
Mann's compact, almost New-Journalistic attempt to understand his older brother, who died of an overdose when Lucas was 13, isn't the first or even the tenth bereaved-sibling memoir, but its blend of taut novelistic style and documentary rigor makes it one of the strongest. Mann has a knack for tracking down uncomfortable truths ("Did you love him?" he asks his brother's best friend) and burrowing in, like a metaphysical gumshoe, where others would turn away. Mann wants us to know his beautiful mess of a brother better than he ever did.
Mislaid, by Nell Zink (Ecco, May 19)
Some novels are full of wacky incident, others polished diamonds of compressed wit. Zink's second novel keeps both modes in perfect balance. During the '60s, a lesbian student in a Virginia women's college marries a gay male poet, with disastrous results. Peggy, both tough as nails and loose of screw, absconds with their daughter, squats in a country cabin, and passes them both off as black. The bracing disconnect between sly, low-affect prose and Gothic strangeness recalls Flannery O'Connor and Jean Stafford — mid-century women you could imagine crossing paths with Peggy and shuddering.
Seveneves, by Neal Stephenson (William Morrow, May 19)
After wave upon wave of disturbingly realistic end-game scenarios from literateurs dabbling in apocalypse, an outlandish premise handled by a genre master comes as a relief. But Stephenson is hardly a harmless escapist, and Seveneves, in which the moon explodes at the start and the action shifts spaceward halfway through, tackles moral and scientific knots of great complexity. With a protagonist modeled on Neil deGrasse Tyson and social allegory worthy of H.G. Wells, Stephenson delivers both techno-futurism and old-fashioned fun.
Dietland, by Sarai Walker (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, May 26)
Leave aside the pastel cover and the shy, approachable narrator named Plum Kettle; Walker's first novel leaves chick lit in the pixie dust, treading the rougher terrain of radical critique and shadowy conspiracies — territory closer to Rachel Kushner than Helen Fielding. Plum is a 300-pound New Yorker, employed to answer a magazine's depressing fan mail and dead-set on gastric-bypass surgery until she's entangled with a pro-fat collective and a terrorist cell known as Jennifer. Underneath the baggage — physical and political — is a character thoughtful, warm, and plausible enough to carry it off.

Warren: 'As Mayor, I Own These Failures'
Sep 14, 2020Hot News, Top StoriesComments Off on Warren: 'As Mayor, I Own These Failures'
Patti Singer
pattisinger@minorityreporter.net
Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren announces reforms after Deputy Mayor James Smith, right, gave her a report about how officials handled the death of Daniel Prude. Patti Singer/Minority Reporter Media Group
Mayor Lovely Warren has directed the city's Office of Public Integrity to investigate whether any employees – including herself – violated city or departmental policies or ethics in the aftermath of the death of Daniel Prude.
Warren also relieved Rochester Police Chief La'Ron Singletary of his command, effective immediately. Singletary was scheduled to retire on Sept. 29. Other members of the command staff also announced their retirements or are stepping down into previously held positions. It was not clear whether that took effect right away.
Deputy Chief Mark Simmons, who is returning to the rank of lieutenant, will serve as acting chief for the next 30 days, according to a city spokesman. Simmons served as interim chief before Singletary was hired in April 2019.
The announcements came Sept. 14 as Warren released a voluminous management review conducted by Deputy Mayor James Smith of the handling of the mental hygiene arrest of Daniel Prude and subsequent actions taken by members of the Rochester Police Department and city employees.
Corporation counsel Tim Curtin and communications director Justin Roj have been suspended without pay for 30 days.
Less than half an hour before Warren's announcement, she, Singletary and Curtin were on a videoconference briefing with City Council about RPD response to the protests in the previous four nights. Curtin was sitting next to the mayor. There was no indication at the mayor's news conference about whether he knew he was being suspended.
"I have apologized to the Prude family and this community for the failures that happened along the way, including my own," Warren said. "As mayor, I own these failures. And as mayor, I have an obligation, once identified to do everything to fix them."
In addition to having the Office of Public Integrity start an investigation, Warren is making seven other recommendations based on the report:
Request that the U.S. Attorney General's Office conduct an investigation in possible violations of Daniel Prude's civil rights.
Have outside agencies review all training manuals, regulations and general orders that govern the conduct of RPD officers.
Request that the U.S. Department of Justice review the RPD, including body worn camera footage for use of force arrests over the past three years and make the findings public.
Have an outside agency review the city's Freedom of Information Law process with and objective of greater openness.
Get clarification and written guidance on the release of public information during criminal investigations conducted by the state attorney general.
Enact a policy whereby the mayor and police chief immediately announce initiations of all criminal investigations or arrests of an RPD officer.
Involve the Commission on Race and Structural Equity to get the public involved in reforming RPD, City Hall and other institutions to remove the pervasive culture of insularity.
Warren did not take questions, saying she would meet with the media after giving reporters time to digest the 31 sections and more than 100 pages.
Smith reviewed the timeline from March 23, 2020, when officers encountered the 41-year-old on Jefferson Avenue after his brother had called 911 because he was concerned he might harm himself.
Read the report at www.cityofrochester.gov/rpdreformrelease91420/
Smith's review was expedited, and so it is based on largely on email trails and other documents. It does not include information from interviews or subpoenas, such as those of 911 calls and dispatch recordings and cell phone records. Smith wrote that he "personally would err on the side of disclosing versus withholding information." Redactions were limited to phone numbers, addresses and personal emails.
"This initial look has shown what so many have suspected, that we have a pervasive problem in the Rochester Police Department," Warren said. "One that views everything through the eyes of the badge and not the citizens we serve. It shows that Mr. Prude's death was not taken as seriously as it should have been by those who reviewed the case throughout city government at every level."
The report contains emails from investigators to the command staff, some of which is known because the family released the information it obtained through Freedom of Information Law requests.
It also contains emails recounting the techniques used by officers at the scene and a memo to the commander of the Professional Standard Section that said "actions alone did not cause the secession (sic) of breathing on the part of Mr. Prude."
The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, finding that asphyxiation was one of three contributing factors.
Among the documents is an email exchange between Warren and Singletary in which she expressed outrage at the conduct of Officer Mark Vaughn, which she said showed disregard for a person in distress.
There also is correspondence between the city's legal department and Elliot Shields, the attorney who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the Prude family.
After the report was released, Shields wrote in an email that he was seeing some documents for the first time, despite having requested them in the April 3 Freedom of Information Law request. He said an April 10 email from Singletary to Roj that says the mayor and the law department are "in the loop" is "evidence that a coverup implicated officials at the highest levels of City Hall and the RPD." He said it also demonstrates systemic problems in the department and the city's "indifference to the department's culture of lying about excessive force incidents to cover for the offending officers."
The New York state Attorney General is reviewing the death, and City Council wants its own review. Shields wrote that he encourages the city to work with the attorney general, who he said "has proven herself as a leader for investigating systemic problems of police misconduct."

Our boots are in Oregon's wetlands. Founded in 1981, The Wetlands Conservancy is the only organization in Oregon dedicated to working in partnership with communities statewide to permanently protect, conserve and restore Oregon's greatest wetlands. In collaboration with public and private sector partners, we have conserved some of Oregon's greatest wetlands within the Oregon Central Coast, Harney County and the Willamette Valley. Our work has also included ownership, enhancement and stewardship of 500 acres of wetlands in the Portland Metro region.
Why We Care About Oregon's Wetlands
Wetlands are vital to our health and the health of our environment. They clean and recharge our water supply, provide critical fish and wildlife habitat, and protect our communities from floods. Wetlands are beautiful to look at and magical to experience. They are some of the most biologically rich and productive lands in Oregon.
To partner with communities across our state in conserving, enhancing and restoring the physical and ecological values of Oregon's greatest wetlands for current and future generations.
What We Value
We are dedicated to conserving and promoting wetlands to support fish and wildlife, clean water, open space, public safety, and people's appreciation of nature. We work at different scales—from an individual property to a regional landscape—to support these interconnected systems.
We build community, creating strong, long-lasting relationships within our organization and with our diverse partners. We believe in respectful collaboration, rather than adversarial confrontation, leads to innovative and long lasting solutions.
We implement our mission through the best available science and research. Along with our partners we collect, analyze and disseminate critical data to support wetlands conservation, restoration and education.
We empower people to explore and discover how wetlands play a vital role in their everyday lives, inspiring them to protect and preserve wetlands throughout Oregon. We collect and share the stories of Oregon's greatest wetlands, making room for people of all ages to participate.
Within our organization and the partner network that makes wetlands stewardship possible across Oregon, we are continually learning, experimenting and adapting—enhancing the capacities of human and natural systems to adapt and thrive as conditions change.
Taking the long view, we create conservation and restoration opportunities through proactive leadership and planning. We develop the science, the restoration plan, and the partnerships that create a legacy and instill a commitment to wetlands stewardship in future generations.

Willamette Valley Wet Prairie Tour
https://wetlandsconservancy.org/event/willamette-valley-wet-prairie-tour/
"It was hard to believe I had never seen a native wetland prairie in all my years in Oregon. The many flowering plants and native grasses were beautiful and I learned a lot about the challenges of managing these areas and assuring diversity for not only plants but fish and wildlife too." -Fran Recht
Willamette Valley wet prairies are among the most endangered habitat types in the state of Oregon, and among the rarest of North America ecosystems. Come tour Evergreen Wetlands, approximately 1.5 miles south of Philomath with wetland banker Ray Fiori and TWC Executive Director, Esther Lev. Over the past 12 years Ray and Oregon Wetlands LLC have restored 175 acres of Willamette Valley wetlands, with significant prairie habitat. Prior to restoration of the wetland, the site was in agricultural production. Eleven years later, the site is dominated by native wetland plants, including some rare species, and turned the wetlands into a tapestry of color and texture. Bring your binoculars, as the fauna is just as diverse as the flora. Today the restored rye grass field qualifies as an Oregon's Greatest wetland.
WHAT: All day tour includes transportation from Portland and lunch.

The Pediatric Heart Transplant Program is one of the most active in the United States with 75% of referrals coming from outside the metropolitan St. Louis area. Since the program began in 1986, more than 380 patients – ranging in age from 3 days to 22 years – have received heart transplants.
The most common reasons for heart transplantation in pediatric patients are congenital heart defects and cardiomyopathy, which once robbed infants and children of life. Defects such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome now are routinely treated through heart transplantation. Washington University pediatric cardiothoracic surgeons at St. Louis Children's Hospital, who first offered transplant as a treatment alternative for hypoplastic left heart syndrome in 1989, have performed more than 55 transplants for the defect.
After transplant, both infants and older pediatric patients exhibit normal developmental levels for their ages. Most children attend school and participate in a variety of normal childhood activities.
A team of cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, nurse clinicians, nursing staff members, social workers and therapists works together with the family to prepare for the transplant, to keep the patient in optimal health while waiting for an organ and to rebuild the patient's health and strength following the transplant.
The transplant team works with a strong network of cardiologists throughout the region who are familiar with transplant follow-up care. The goal is to return pediatric transplant patients to their local cardiologists in order to facilitate a team approach for continued care. Frequent contact between the transplant team and the local cardiologist ensures continued communication about the patient's progress and treatment plan.

Q: If the quadratic polynomial $lmx^2 + lmx + ln$ is a perfect square then prove that $4l^2=mn$ I am new to this forum and request guidance on a question. I have looked into past answers on related topic but could not find one. Grateful for any help.

A: A polynomial is a perfect square if it is of the form $a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a+b)^2$. We'll do the same operation on $lmx^2 + mnx + ln$ so we get, $(\sqrt{lm}x)^2 + 2 \times \sqrt{lm}x \times \sqrt{ln} + (\sqrt{ln})^2$. Computing this we get, $lmx^2 + 2 \times \sqrt{lm} \times \sqrt{ln} \times x + ln$. But, our polynomial is $lmx^2 + mnx + ln$ So, equating both the polynomials we get, $2 \times \sqrt{lm} \times \sqrt{ln} = mn$ On squaring we get, $4 \times lm \times ln = m^2n^2$ From this, we can cancel out $mn$ from both the sides, so we get $4l^2 = mn$. Hence, we have proved it
