An introduction to the five-factor model and its applications.
Author(s): Keith R McCrae, Yetunde O John-Akinola
Journal: Journal of personality
Keywords: Humans, statistics & numerical data, Q-Sort, Psychometrics, Personality Inventory, Personality Development, Personality Assessment, Models, Statistical, Models, Psychological
The five-factor model of personality is a hierarchical organization of personality traits in terms of five basic dimensions: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience. Research using both natural language adjectives and theoretically based personality questionnaires supports the comprehensiveness of the model and its applicability across observers and cultures. This article summarizes the history of the model and its supporting evidence; discusses conceptions of the nature of the factors; and outlines an agenda for theorizing about the origins and operation of the factors. We argue that the model should prove useful both for individual assessment and for the elucidation of a number of topics of interest to personality psychologists.

Converting content into smart content is crucial for publishers to survive in the digital and artificial intelligence age. Educational publishers have a plethora of content which needs to be accurately stored and labeled to the right language or reading level. Hence, following the CEFR* scale is key for publishers to match content to the right readability level. In this blog post, we'll examine what kind of solutions exist in the market that offer CEFR classification.
Artificial intelligence has built-in algorithms which can classify content sidestepping the need for manual tagging performed by experts. Such automatic tagging can be performed by algorithms, which assign individual pieces of content an appropriate language level based on an objective standard.
Several companies have technology that can tag content, but in different ways than the CEFR scale.
1. Wizenoze (Netherlands) Wizenoze uses machine learning to estimate the readability of educational texts. Wizenoze classifies text according to their own Index – the Wizenoze Readability Index. This Index is based on a score of 1-5 with each level roughly comparable to UK and US educational stages. Their tool has several additional functions such as finding simpler alternatives for difficult terms. However, Wizenoze doesn't provide any CEFR classification.
2. Aylien (Ireland) Aylien uses Natural Language Processing to extract insights from textual content. Using APIs Aylien analyzes texts based on sentiment categorizes them according to IAB-QAG & IPTC News Codes and extracts metadata from them. Aylien also has several helpful features like suggestions for hashtags or tools to remove clutter from web pages. The Aylien tool can also detect which language a text is written in and assign it a confidence level score, based on its own criteria. However, Aylien doesn't provide any difficulty reading level of a text and definitely not CEFR classification.
3. UNSILO (Denmark) UNSILO brings publishing together with Artificial Intelligence. Primarily focused on evaluating manuscripts and building content packages for new business opportunities, UNSILO is not specifically designed for educational publishers. However, they can provide custom metadata tagging solutions, using APIs focused on key concepts and related content. UNSILO does not assign difficulty reading levels to content.
4. Watson IBM (United States) IBM's Watson is the grandfather of Natural Language Processing for content. It can extract entities, relationships, keywords and semantic roles from unstructured data. It currently operates in 13 different languages, although it doesn't provide an assessment of language difficulty. It isn't designed specifically for educational publishers or even publishers, but no list of metadata-tagging tools would be complete without it.
5. EDIA (Netherlands) EDIA uses Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to automatically metatag and classifies content for educational publishers. EDIA's primary product – 360AI – classifies texts according to language level using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This standard is used broadly across Europe and assigns content based on 6 levels of complexity. 360AI can operate in English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish and Italian, creating a cross-linguistic standard for content. 360AI is also able to combine the CEFR standard with a publisher's in-house classification style, making content even more adaptive and helpful.
It's clear that there are many different ways for publishers to automatically metadata tag content for different language levels. Different classification standards are used across the industry, which can sometimes make it difficult for publishers to maintain a standardized system. However, the options available are manifold, meaning educational publishers can choose the right tool for their environment and market.
*The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is an international language learning standard set by experts from the Council of Europe. The CEFR scale has reading levels ranging from A1 (beginner) to C2 (native).
Previous What CEFR solutions can publishers turn to?

Q: PHP contact form with authentication and sender confirmation message. Simple and secure. How can i do it? I need a contact form on my webpage that has some good security on it to prevent spamming, captcha or number verification. If there are form errors, I would like them displayed on the page, not on a 'confirmation' page that requires the user to hit 'back'. I would also like to have the sender have a confirmation message sent to the email address they listed.
I've had a hellish time trying a few different kinds of forms available online. Can anyone suggest resource/s to build the thing I need. I thought PHPMailer would be good, but I need some support with it.
Thanks for your help!

A: Do a thorough form validation on the front end itself using JavaScript. You'll probably find a lot of validation plugins available for free.
The captcha is generated on load, and it's checked by another server script, which you can call on clicking the submit button but before actually submitting (explore more events of form submission). This will redirect to landing page if all goes well, or aborts the submission and produces an error message.
PHP Mailer is pretty convenient fir sending emails. You can define two instances of it, one for the form submission mailing to you, and for the confirmation to sender which shall be sent when the first one is sent successfully.
Hope that helps!

Searching for a good place for lunch after a busy morning atmy local newspaper, I hopped out of the rain into this lovely coffee shop, IlCappuccio. The café is a lovely mix of modern, traditional and Italian withleather interiors, cute tea sets and countless types of hot beverages.
To warm my rain soaked self, I ordered cream of tomato soupand a latte. I was pleasantly surprised with the extra effort that went withthis simple dish which was wonderfully presented with a sprinkling of herbs anda warm crusty roll. Delish!
My cake-less coffee shop lunch cost just under £5. IlCappuccio isn't really about the cake – just good surroundings, good coffeeand yummy food.


Korb is a rescued dog, which I accidentally found last summer by a sheep flock. I didn't have the heart to leave him there knowing that his staying there would not have a happy end. Unfortunately, his former master died. He was hardly alive; it was a 36 kilo skeleton.

Certainly one of one of the most typical electrical wiring questions is regarding how to wire a change. Whilst utilizing switches at home is very easy, wiring 1 might not be that easy for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will discover several types of switches, but for this instance, let us say you are putting in a single-pole toggle switch, a really widespread change (and also the most straightforward).
You'll find 3 shades of wires in the usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them about the terminal screws - one on top and the other on the bottom screw on the swap. The white wire serves for a source of uninterrupted energy and it is typically connected to a light-weight coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the environmentally friendly wire to the ground screw of your respective change.
These steps would commonly be ample to help make an average switch get the job done with out a issue. On the other hand, in case you are not confident that you choose to can attain the activity correctly and safely you far better enable the professionals get it done instead. Right after all, there is certainly a purpose why this task is without doubt one of the most commonly encountered electrical wiring thoughts asked by most of the people.
For some rationale, the way to wire a ceiling fan is also one of quite possibly the most widespread electrical wiring inquiries. To simplify this job, you can utilize just one switch for your single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it can be simply a make any difference of connecting the black wire of your ceiling fan into the black wire in the switch. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire need to be connected for the black wire from the switch in addition.
There are actually causes why these are generally one of the most normally requested electrical wiring concerns. A person, many think it really is basic to try and do, and two, they are the typical electrical tasks at your home. But then you definately must not set your basic safety in danger as part of your target to economize. The stakes could even be much increased when you attempt to cut costs and do an electrical wiring position without the need of sufficient know-how or knowledge.

Fans speculated for years as to the cause of Hogan's black eye at WM 9.
In a business as zany as professional wrestling, there are bound to be numerous incidents that defy description or logic.
This is going to be true any time you have a group of people traveling together. Speculation becomes rumor, and rumor becomes an urban legend. The fans certainly don't help matters either, coming up with their own wild theories and abject fantasies of what goes on 'behind the curtain' in sports entertainment.
Some myths persist to this day, despite evidence to the contrary, while others that are dismissed are actually true. Here are five wrestling rumors that turned out to be false, and five that might be for real.
False: There were two Ultimate Warriors
Just to be clear, there is only one man who has portrayed the Ultimate Warrior character; Jim "Warrior" Hellwig. However, the rumor still persists that he was replaced by a ringer at one point in his career, with the culprit usually being depicted as Kerry Von Erich.
This was due to Warrior taking some time off from the ring, and returning with a different look. His hair had been dyed a lighter color and was longer, his ring gear had become more colorful, and--most confusing for fans, and likely the start of the urban legend--he had a much leaner physique.
The truth was, Warrior leaned up to deal with health issues, and to improve his movement in the ring. Still, despite the evidence, there are fans who believe that one of the Warriors was an imposter.

I found several articles/blogs for data binding. After going through SAP open portal Courses, here's one more attempt to create a blog for data binding for beginners, highlighting key concepts.
Hope, it may help to entry level frontend developer.
Assumption : User must have developer account in hana trial.
User must have created a "SAPUI5 Application" template from New-> Project From Template.
Verify that the connection test is successful.
It contains all project settings for SAP Web IDE and is created in the root folder of project. It is a JSON format file consisting of multiple configuration keys. The most important setting is to configure is the path where the OpenUI5 runtime is located when starting the app.
Below "routes", add a new configuration entry for the destination northwind. The destination itself is configured inside the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Cockpit, as shown in point1. With this configuration entry in the neo-app.json file we can use it inside your application project. Write the "orange" code in "routes" section in neo-app.json.
Create a Model Configuration in the App Descriptor. In the "sap.app" section we add the data source configuration for the OData service.
Application data resides in model, which is interacted by view also known as two-way binding. In SAP WEBIDE, models are defined in manifest.json.
This configuration allows the component to retrieve the technical information for this model during the start-up of the app.
** In manifest.json, in models, if defining our destination under named model, then follow the green part.If defining under unnamed model(entry with an empty key), write the blue code.
Create a Model Configuration in the App Descriptor. In the sap.app section, add the data source configuration for the OData service.
**As mentioned above, in the models section under sap.ui5, we have an entry with an empty key (blue code), and entry with name "invoice" (green code). This is the major error committed by beginners. Based on what we have, named key or empty entry, code in view has to be modified. I used both the code, in one project. For first-time users, I would suggest, implement one-by-one. First go with blue code, and respective "View" code, and then go with green code.
The value specified in dataSources i.e. "northwind" is a reference to the data source section that we specified above.Our component will then automatically create an instance of sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel according to the settings we specified above, and make it available as the default model on the component.
You should now see a list of products / list of customers fetched from the northwind backend system in your app!!!
I hope this will help the beginners with OData binding.
Thanks .. it was a good example of binding but i have one question like if i want to fetch only company name for one single specific customer so how to do that??

Q: Weird Result of String just curious about it . i wonder why :
string str = @"//
    // Use a new char[] array of two characters (\r and \n) to break
    // lines from into separate strings. \n Use RemoveEmptyEntries
    // to make sure no empty strings get put in the string array.
    //";

result text to richTextBox was:
//
    // Use a new char[] array of two characters (\r and \n) to break
    // lines from into separate strings. \n Use RemoveEmptyEntries
    // to make sure no empty strings get put in the string array.
    //

but
string str = @"//
    // Use a new char[] array of two characters (\r and \n) to break
    // lines from into separate strings."+" \n" + @" Use RemoveEmptyEntries
    // to make sure no empty strings get put in the string array.
    //";

result text to richTextBox was:
//
    // Use a new char[] array of two characters (\r and \n) to break
    // lines from into separate strings.
 Use RemoveEmptyEntries
    // to make sure no empty strings get put in the string array.
    //

A: There is no literal @ before your central string " \n"
The equivalent would be
string str = @"//
// Use a new char[] array of two characters (\r and \n) to break
// lines from into separate strings."+ @" \n" + @" Use RemoveEmptyEntries
// to make sure no empty strings get put in the string array.
//";

\ is an escape character in normal strings, but string literals use the content exactly as is, except in the case of " which is escaped as ""

A: Because there is no @ before the "\n" in you second example. Any escape sequence after @ (verbatim string literal) will be ignored. In your first example it was ignored but not in the second.
Have a look at this:

Number Crunchers Nov. 30, 2015
Microbreweries Say Calorie Counts Will Be Ruinously Expensive
By Clint Rainey
Pliny doesn't need your chain menu anyway. Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
When calorie counts arrive next year on chain-restaurant menus, per federal mandate, the beer selection could take a turn for the worse. The FDA stuck breweries with the cost of making beers comply with the new regulation — and the small ones are learning that ain't cheap.
While shoveling out $600 and waiting weeks for an official calorie count is no problem for Budweiser, the microbreweries worry undercapitalized pockets and constantly changing lineups could be their undoing if the goal is obtaining a spot on a chain's menu. "There's no way they could afford to test every one of those brews," the New York State Brewers Association says. "It's a big problem going forward," Dave Lopez, of the Bronx's Gun Hill Brewing, frets to the Post. "The only way it's feasible is to limit what is available to consumers." That's a sad thought when it's a micro with an absurdly high number of brews, like the 42 presently offered by Other Half, a boutique Brooklyn brewery whose beer appears on Per Se's menu.
Of course, it's not as if Chili's and T.G.I. Friday's are beating down any of these brewers' doors, but with chains getting more artisanal these days, they soon might. A local craft-beer-maker in particular approached by, say, an NYC-area chainlet doesn't want the deal-breaker to be not having calorie counts. Jay Sykes, co-owner of Flagship Brewery on Staten Island, tells the Post that getting on Red Robin's menu was clutch for his operation: "Local people who don't know about us are finding us there."
Maybe this is why all those microbreweries have been selling out to Budweiser?

Microbreweries Can't Afford Calorie Counts


– Coffee hasn't taken yet?
– Well, It's the third cup, so there's a chance…. What's the question?
– Planning discourse contribution credit points. Remember the other day, there was a lively discussion here about the credit points in that planning discourse platform you guys — I mean Abbé Boulah and his buddy up in town have been cooking up — and I've been telling my email friend over in Europe about it. He is politely asking to get to know more about it, but I have a feeling he's, well, not outright against it, but very skeptical about the idea.
– Well, I wouldn't blame him; it is a bit involved, if you'd try to apply all parts of what it might be used for. Any feelings about what specifically is bothering him?
-It could be that I haven't been able to explain it well enough; the discussion was mainly about the use of those credits outside of the planning discussions itself. The idea of those credits replacing the rile of money in the political process. I got the impression he sees it as elitist. So he may have lost sight of their basic purpose in the planning discourse itself, that as I understand it establishes their value in the first place. So maybe you can help me go through the basic benefits or uses of those points from the very beginning of the process? What they are for, again?
– Well, I'm glad you're asking, because since that discussion, I've gotten kind of confused about it myself: it can get kind of complicated, and there are some questions that aren't quite worked out yet, as far as I can see. So it gives me the chance to clarify things in my mind as well, I hope. As that old German professor said that Abbé Boulah keeps invoking: If you are not quite certain about something, it helps to give a lecture about it. Or better, a discussion, so you can interrupt and ask questions any time it's getting derailed.
– Hmm. Let's see. So we assume somebody has raised an issue, started a discussion about some problem or plan that needs attention; asking that something needs to be done about it, because it's an an issue that affects, bothers, hurts many people in different ways. A community problem, perhaps even in a community that isn't clearly defined — in that people in several different governance entities — state, countries — are affected and not at all clear what can be done about it and who is supposed to do it. And we optimistically assume that there is something like that discourse platform where all that can be discussed, eh?
– Well, there's got to be some talk about it, whether it's properly public and organized is a different question. Now the first thing that needs to happen is to get the information about that issue. What's going on, who is getting affected, and how? And who has the knowledge, — call it expertise or just common sense — about what could be done about it — and then how that in turn would affect people. The common cry and demand is for public 'participation'. The principle is that all the concerns of all the affected and interested parties must be brought into the discussion so that that can be given 'due consideration' in making plans and decisions, right?
– Right. Shouldn't that be a matter of course, by now?
– Sure. Well, governments don't seem to like it much. But it's also a bit of a problem for the public. You can make all kinds of provisions for citizen participation, but the fact is that that requires time and effort on the part of those citizens, time and effort that the ordinary citizen doesn't always can afford and doesn't get paid for, right? And some folks may have their suspicions about whether and how their concerns will actually make much if any difference in the decision. So shouldn't there be some incentives — for everybody who has something meaningful to contribute to the issue, to contribute that information?
– Hmm. I see the problem: you can't do it with money, it isn't in anybody's budget yet. So you are saying that it should be done with those credit points?
– Yes. At the very least, there should be some form of public recognition, appreciation for bringing in pertinent information. So you'd reward any such contribution with a 'civic credit' unit. And that credit should actually be 'worth' something, not just an empty and useless gesture. We'll get to that later.
– Oh boy. That looks like more of a problem than a solution to me — now everybody comes in with all kinds of silly information, all the same 'concerns' or demands — what a mess.
– You are quite right. That's why full credit should be given only to the first entry of the same essential content — not to repetitions of the same point. This provision, incidentally, serves another purpose besides keeping the mass of incoming information manageable: it encourages people to enter the information fast, not to wait and let the discussion go around in circles missing a vital item of information.
– Okay, that makes sense. But is it a problem that some people who have made an effort to enter information but don't get it in fast enough, will be annoyed at having their effort ignored?
– Good point. This makes it supremely important to have a good public display of information entered, updated as fast as possible, ideally of course, in 'real time' so that a new item is instantly seen the moment it's posted. The technology for doing that is available today, but if you want to allow information to get entered by different means — letters, phone calls, email etc. there will necessarily be some delay in getting it posted. So if there's such a delay, you may want to have people who enter the same point before it gets posted for everybody to see, share that reward.
– Ah, I think I see what bothers you. It looks like something like restricting people's 'voting rights' or 'rights to free speech, does it? Yes. That impression would be bad, not necessarily justified. There must be a clear distinction between entering an information item, and making it 'count' in the decision. As long as decisions are made on the basis of vote counts, that impression is understandable, sure. But what we are after, is to reach decisions based on the merit of the information, not just on the number of votes — votes that may be un-informed , ill-informed, or deliberately ignoring the concerns of many other parties — the losing minority of the voting process. And to determine the merit of a piece of information or argument pro or con a plan, it only needs to the stated once. But now we have to deal with the issue of the method by which the merit of a piece of information can be determined.
– Yes. Just another question, before we get into that: what about intentionally 'bad' information? Wrong or unintentionally ill-informed claims, as you said — even deliberately false, misleading, confusing information? Trolls? Obscene language? Shouldn't there be some boundaries on that in public discourse? — You agree, Vodçek?
– Well, Sophie, my responsibility as the keeper of this establishment is a little different than what's going on in a public discourse. See, I am very much in favor of freedom of speech, in principle. But I also have a great interest in keeping this tavern somewhat civilized. So here, I feel entitled to ask people who start that kind of thing to please shut up or leave, before it degenerates into physical brawls. And I'm using my personal judgment on drawing the boundary, such as it may be, and I'm okay with some people thinking it's not strict enough, and others steamed up about my stuffy old-timer attitude. Now in a public discussion, I'm not sure my standards should be imposed on everybody. So who's entitled to set those standards? In fact, shouldn't everybody have the right to publicly make fools or buffoons out of themselves?
– Huh. Never looked at it that way. Some people seem to get a kick out of doing that. A right to offend?
– I think Vodçek has a point there, Sophie. Whether you want to call it a right or not. But the platform process is actually dealing with that in a different way. It doesn't try to finagle the distinction between acceptable and unacceptable entries — by language or content. So it accepts all entries as they come, stores them and makes them accessible in what it calls the 'Verbatim' file. And it acknowledges an entry as a contribution with a 'point' that is not much more than that: an acknowledgement: You participated. But then it gives all the other participants the opportunity to respond to it, either by making another verbal entry, or by assigning the original — offending — entry a judgment score. One on a scale of, say, minus 3 (for totally offensive, unacceptable, useless) to plus 3 for totally valuable and proper content. So if there is an actual 'account' for those contributions, that contribution point will add to — or diminish — a person's public credit account, as judged by the public, by all participants in that discourse.
– Well, how will that be done? Are you saying that everybody gives every such contribution a judgments score?
– That would be one way, or a first step towards such a credit point account. Sure, it's a little more involved that the current practice of 'liking' or adding another kind of emoticon to a person's comment. But some such evaluation, actually a somewhat more specific evaluation, will be necessary further on in the process if the participants are going to be serious about getting a decision based on the merit of all contributions. Then the adjustment of a person's initial entry will just be result of that systematic deliberation.
– Sounds good, but you'll have to give me some more detail about that, Bog-Hubert.
– Patience, Sophie. First let me ask you, were you here to listen to Abbé Boulah about his buddy's method for evaluation planning arguments?
– You mean that story about looking at all the premises of those arguments and giving them plausibility scores?
– Right. Plausibility scores, on a scale of -1 (for 'totally implausible') to +1 (for 'totally plausible, virtually certain) and the midpoint of zero (for 'don't know, can't judge without more evidence…). But also weights of relative importance of all the 'ought' premises in the entire set of arguments pro and con a plan proposal. That one would be on a scale of zero (for totally unimportant) to +1 (for totally important) such that all the weights of all the ought-premises in that set of arguments will add up to 1.
– Right, I got that part. I remember there was some math involved in getting from that bunch of scores to an overall measure of plausibility of the plan being discussed — I'm not sure I really understand that.
– We can go over that part separately some other time. Can you have some faith, for now, that some such equations can be developed that explain how your overall plan assessment should depend on those scores for the argument premises?
– Well… I'm not sure I'm ready for buying that cat in a bag, but let's hear the rest of the story about the credit points.
– Okay. Remember, a person's comments to the planning discourse, that is, to a discussion about whether a proposed plan should be adopted for implementation, can be roughly distinguished as three kinds of claims, premises, of arguments: One that claims that the plan A (or some plan detail) will lead to some outcome, result, consequence. B, given some conditions C. Another claim is about whether B ought to be aimed for or not; and the third is about whether the conditions C under which A will produce B are actually present or will be present when the plan is implemented.
– Yes I remember now. And the plausibility and importance scores actually are judgments about the merit of those claims — is that what you are saying?
– Bravo! That is precisely it: those assessment scores are another way of saying how much someone's comment providing those claims is worth, in that planning discussion. So if we now get some overall statistic of the whole group's assessment scores of those contribution items, we are not only getting a measure of that item's merit or weight towards the group's plan decision, which is also a measure of that entry's merit in the entire discourse. And the original 'credit point' acknowledgement can now be adjusted up or down according to those scores. If the scores as plausible, truthful, supported by evidence, and the ought-premise is important, the entry credit will shift from just 'present' upwards to a positive value, but if the claims are less credible, untrustworthy, the entry credit will become negative.
– I see, It's beginning to sound interesting. But won't everything now depend on the math shenanigans you'll use to add up or whatever you are doing to the scores?
– True. But as we said, let's assume for now that this can be made to work. Because then, there are more interesting things that can be done with these credits.
– Fine. Where were we? Okay. With a little help from our computers, we have calculated the overall judgment scores for the proposed plan, from all the personal scores of discourse participants. And along the way, the computer has stored and used all the judgment scores for the set of argument premises that the participants have made. So we can also calculate the group scores for each premise judgment, don't you see? And that would be one way to express the value, the merit of that piece of information in the opinion of that group. So now the original contribution credit can be adjusted up or down according to that score.
– Ah, I see. So that will become part of the contributor's credit point account. And you think that will be some kind of encouragement to make valuable, constructive comments?
– Yes. And discouraging information that is misleading, false, unsupported by evidence or further plausible arguments, that will reduce your credit account.
– So why should people care about that? Is that account made public?
– Good question. I guess that needs to be discussed, or left to each participant to decide, whether to make it public or not. But the real question is how that account can be really useful to a person, other than giving them the personal satisfaction of having made useful contributions. Can you think of ways that could happen?
– Credit points influence on overall decision?
– Well, now that you mention it: would it make any difference in how the decision is made for the plan?
– Hmm. I guess it could. It depends on how each decision has to be made, legitimately, in each case. You could argue, for example, that the total public score for a plan should determine the decision. In the sense that if that final score is positive (somewhere between zero and plus one, or above a threshold that must be agreed upon, the plan is approved. If it falls below that, it's rejected? Then, of course an individual's contribution merit will be part of that final score.
– But that's not very visible, right? I remember those equations or 'aggregation functions', I think you called them, to somehow add up all the individual judgments to some overall score and then to a group score?
– Yes, that part needs discussion, sure. For now, let's say that this overall score is just a recommendation to guide an official's decision or elected committee's final, traditional yes/no vote (that may be mandated by law or constitution), then somebody might suggest that the vote of each member of the voting entity could be 'weighted' according to that person's credit score: If you have a high contribution credit score, your vote could be 'worth' more than the vote of somebody whose credit account is low or negative because of a lot of bad contributions to public discourse. Okay, okay, don't hit me. That calls for a lot more discussion, and perhaps agreements in each case. But it offers some interesting possibilities that do need discussion, don't you agree?
– Interesting, yes. I'm not sure I see how it would really improve things, perhaps I need to look at some actual examples. By the way, isn't this why my friend was worrying about this scheme being, wait, what did he call it: some kind of meritocracy? Is that bad?
– Well, it's a valid concern if in a society power and income is going mainly to people who have been declared as 'meriting', at the expense of all the other folks who never evened a chance to build up a merit for anything. Where 'merit' is mainly measures in financial terms. The kind of measure we are talking about here is a very different thing, isn't it? Actually moving away from the power of money, wouldn't you say? But I' d say there is an issue of balancing the concern for getting decisions based on the merit — value, truth, plausibility, appeal, quality — of information brought into the discussion about plans, and making sure that the concerns of people who don't have the time or opportunity to earn those credits aren't being neglected.
– Yes, Bog-hubert: balancing is the problems sounds like the key. I agree that this open planning discourse platform seems to aim at making that easier. The concerns may be articulated and entered into the record to be considered by representatives of people who can't do that for themselves for one reason or another — children, people too worn out by their work to get as well-informed as the democratic ideals want us to assume. But maybe there should be more robust safeguards to ensure that the meritocracy aspect doesn't get out if line?
– Now, those issues were all potential uses 'within' the discourse about a specific plan. Perhaps looking at how your contribution credits might be used 'outside' the particular project, in general, might be more useful?
– Well, think about it. Your financial credit score makes a difference in your ability to get a mortgage or a business loan. Could your public discourse contribution credit score make a difference in landing a job, say, or a public office? As part of your qualification for such offices? Sort of indicating how much you can be trusted to use sound judgment in decisions that can't wait for a lengthy public discussion? A more quantitative indicator of your reputation?
– I see, yes. People are looking at a candidate's voting record in previous positions, already — but that can be misleading, not very clear information. So yes, such a contribution credit record may be useful.
– Hey, I'm not so sure about that. One way of looking at it is how single incidents can destroy years of apparently trustworthy behavior and judgments: Like your famous Zinfandel: One glass of Zin poured into a sinkful of dishwater doesn't do much to the essence of dishwater — but what do you get if you pour one glass of dishwater into a bottle of Zin, eh? One big case of defrauding Medicare by millions of dollars should make you ineligible for any job in the government's health departments, shouldn't it?
– Well. Those details must be ironed out, but I'd say that's one way your credit account can be come 'fungible' — worth something, in everyday social life. Can you think of other ways?
– I think I need more coffee to cope with all these unusual issues. Vodçek, can you help with that? Too early for Zin, anyway, after that story of yours.
– Sure, Sophie, here you go. I remember hearing Abbé Boulah mention some real unusual ways to apply that credit account — something about making officials pay for their privilege to make decisions?
– Right, I heard that too. I thought he and his buddy were really going out in utopia-land with those ideas. But it's sticking in my mind: If you really are looking for ways to get some better control of the role of money and the temptations for less than beneficial public use of its power in public governance: do you see many promising innovative ideas out there? Better ideas than the traditional venerable 'balance of power', term limits, re-election, and in the extreme: impeachment tools? That all are more and more losing their effectiveness to the power of money from the private sector that is undermining those provisions? Because they don't cover the relations between private sector money and public controls well enough?
– Well, how could 'paying for decisions' make a dent in that? You are making me curious.
– Okay. See, It's really based on a different understanding of power. It's not only the ability to make important decisions about your own life — where we call it 'empowerment', as a good thing, right? — but also about projects that involve others, that are too big for just one person to decide for themselves. So what if we look at the desire for power as a human kind of need, just like the need for food and shelter? Getting those are considered close to human rights — but we make folks pay for them. So why should we treat power differently from those needs? But we also need to find better ways of preventing power from becoming addictive and abusive. Now, can we say that the general social concern regarding needs is to first make sure that people will be able to earn the means to satisfy those needs, that is, to p a y for them, and then actually make them pay. So why not apply that pattern to the power issue?
– But but. Yes, I hear you: Pay? But with money, no: that would just dig our hole deeper? Well, perhaps we can use a different currency? Now that we have one: what about paying for public power decisions with your discourse contribution credit points? The more important a decision, the more points you need as an office holder, to make it. And you use up your credits with each decision. There might be a way to treat it like a kind of investment by providing a way to earn credits back with the public appreciation of successful, beneficial decisions, which means that if it was a poor decision, you lost your credit investment and some of your power to make more decisions. If it's all gone: time to step down from the power office, hmm?
– What about decisions that require more credit points than a single person can ever come up with?
– Hey, great idea! Perhaps I could even specify the kind of programs and decisions my points should be used for?
– Power to your kind of people! Yes! There might be a way to build that into the system — with the possibility of your taking your credits back if the person makes decisions you don't approve of, huh?
– Bog-Hubert, Sophie, do I have to point out to you that this devious scheme will make you, the supplier of credit point power, just as a c c o u n t a b l e for the decisions you support? Because you too, would lose your points for poor decisions? With the possibility that you too might lose your credit investment in an incompetent power holder?
– Trying to scare us now, Vodçek? Yes, it makes sense: I guess it will make people more careful with their credit point contributions, besides being able to 'punish' politicians who win elections with promises like 'no more taxes' but then go ahead and raise taxes anyway once they are in office. If you can withdraw your credit points, that is.
– Yes: If your glorious leader has squandered all his own and your points on lousy decisions, there may be nothing to get back. Unless we can make those fellows go back to regular status to earn more points to pay back their credit point debts… I guess the point is: all the talk about power and accountability is rather meaningless without an account whose wealth you could lose is you use your power unwisely or irresponsibly.
– This is getting way too futuristic to have a chance to be realized any time soon, Bog-Hubert, don't you think?
– Well, that's what they said about those crazy fools who said let's build flying machines… Abbé Boulah says that the technology for doing these things is already available, so now it's just about working out the details, getting the system programmed and set up, and getting public support for putting it into practice. But perhaps there are better ways to do those things — public planning discourse, better control of power, — could better ideas be triggered into the open by the very outrageous nature of these proposals?
– Sounds like what we need as a first step is that planning discourse platform itself, to run the public discussion needed to reach agreement about what to do. And to work out the details?
– Couldn't have said it better myself, Sophie.
To prevent people in positions of power from falling victim to temptations of abusing their power, better controls of power must be developed.
A public projects 'bulletin board' announcing proposed projects / plans, inviting interested and affected parties to contribute comments, information, not only from knowledge bases of 'documented' information (supported by technology) but also 'distributed, not yet documented information from parties affected by the problem and proposed plans.
The platform encourages representation of the project's problem, intent and 'explanation' from different perspectives. Systems models contribute visual representation of relationships between the various aspects, causes and consequences, agents, intents and variables, supported by translation not only between different languages but also from discipline 'jargon' to natural conversational language.
While all entries are stored for reference in the 'Verbatim' repository, the discussion process will be structured according to topics and issues, with contributions condensed to 'essential content', separating information claims from judgmental characterization (evaluation to be added separately, below) and rhetoric, for overview display ('IBIS' format, issue maps) and facilitating systematic assessment.
Systematic evaluation procedures facilitate assessment of plan plausibility (argument evaluation) and quality (formal evaluation to mutually explain participants' basis of judgment) or combined plausibility-weighted quality assessment.
The evaluation procedures produce 'judgment based' measures of plan proposal merit that guide individual and collective decision judgments. The assessment results also are used to add merit judgments (veracity, significance, plausibility, quality of proposal) to individuals' first 'contribution credit' points, added to their 'public credit accounts'.
Not all public governance decisions need to or can wait for the result of lengthy discourse, thus, people will have to be appointed (elected) to positions of power to make such decisions. The 'public contribution credits' of candidates are used as additional qualification indicators for such positions.
Better controls of power can be developed using the results of procedures proposed above: Having decision makers 'pay' for the privilege of making power decisions using their contribution credits as the currency for 'investments' in their decision: Good decision will 'earn' future credits based on public assessment of outcomes; poor decisions will reduce the credit accounts of officials, forcing their resignation if depleted. 'Supporters' of officials can transfer credits from their own accounts to the official's account to support the official's ability to make important decisions requiring credits exceeding their own account. They can also withdraw such contributions if the official's performance has disappointed the supporter.
This provision may help reduce the detrimental influence of money in governance, and corresponding corruption.
One of the duties of public governance is 'enforcement' of laws and decisions. The very word indicates the narrow view of tools for this: force, coercion. Since government force must necessarily exceed that of any would-be violator to be effective, this contributes both to the temptation of corruption, — to abuse their power because there is no greater power to prevent it, and to the escalation of enforcement means (weaponry) by enforces and violators alike. For the problem of global conflicts, treaties, and agreements, this becomes a danger of use of weapons of mass destruction if not defused. The possibility of using provisions of 'credit accounts' to develop 'sanctions' that do not have to be 'enforced' but triggered automatically by the very attempt of violation, might help this important task.


Yesterday we were invited* to Blackpool to watch Dinosaur World Live at The Grand Theatre.
The Grand Theatre is a stunning venue, I absolutely love the older buildings in Blackpool such as The Grand and the Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
Dinosaur World Live is an interactive show aimed at all the family from the age of 3. It started in Peterborough in March and is touring the country until September.
I was a little worried as to whether Lucas would love it or be scared and hate it. Thankfully he really got into it and was amazed when the dinosaurs came out.
The show is hosted by Miranda who is an intrepid explorer that has grown up in Dinosaur World with her palaeontologist parents. She introduces the audience to the dinosaurs that she cares for.
She encourages the audience to join in with the show and invites children up to the stage to help with the dinosaurs.
The dinosaurs where incredible and included the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Giraffatitan and Segnosaurus.
If your child does want to meet the dinosaurs and doesn't get picked to go on the stage, there is an opportunity at the end of the show to meet some.
The puppets look amazing. I think the whole family would enjoy this show. Hope it comes to Cardiff.

Tag: Accenture
Accenture is a Fortune Global 500 consulting company founded in 2009. The organization specializes in digital, technology & operations services and solutions.
Hashed Health, a Blockchain Healthcare Consortium
Hashed Health, a startup organization based in Nashville, has received $1.8 million to promote and develop blockchain-based healthcare technology. The sources are Martin Ventures and Fenbushi Capital.
Formed in 2016, Hashed Health describes itself as a blockchain healthcare consortium. COO Corey Todaro mentions that it includes "a broad range of types of organizations". These organizations will coalesce into working groups. A Development Studio will accept ideas from the working groups and bring them from the proof-of-concept level to commercial products.
Hashed Health has joined the Hyperledger Healthcare Working Group. Its principal aim within the group is to work on blockchain libraries and protocols. Other organizations in the group include Accenture, Gem, Kaiser Permanente, and IBM. The working group's aim is to evaluate use cases for blockchain technology in healthcare. It is turning over a set of 70 proposals to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Hashed Health is working on facilitating transactions
Hashed Health's gateway projects include a demonstration of the ability to "improve data liquidity" in provider credentials. Confirming provider credentials and enrolling them in payment networks is a tedious process today. Payers often have inaccurate information; according to Hashed Health, the information in their directories is often as much as 20% wrong. Establishing credentials generally takes over 120 days. Patients endure the delays and costs. The complexity of the system is a major cause of high insurance premiums and out-of-pocket charges.
Hashed's alternative is a "decentralized transaction layer" that holds provider information, including updates and corrections. "Digital data assets" are encrypted data items created by contributors to the blockchain. Only registered users can contribute, following the permissioned blockchain model. Transactions consist of transferring assets from one user to another, and all transactions are recorded on the blockchain. Client applications uses a REST API in peer-to-peer mode.
Auditability is a central goal. Lightweight clients will be able to audit the transaction records, with complete verification rather than just random samples. They can work directly with the blockchain, eliminating the need for a secure server. Providers are required to retain complex documentation for years. Doing this is costly under traditional methods. Blockchain records keep all the information together, protecting it from loss or alteration. Anyone authorized to access them can identify omissions without much trouble.
Blockchain Regulatory and cultural issues
Todaro recognizes that regulation is as big an issue as technology. HIPAA requirements for protection of personal information are strict, and fines for breaches can be huge. Sharing methods that could work in other industries aren't always feasible in healthcare.
Beyond that, he says that "the biggest hurdle to the implementation of blockchain is the industry culture in healthcare." Existing business models are based on holding on to data. The idea of sharing data in new ways is "threatening to a lot of enterprises." Todaro recognizes that requiring organizations to change their workflows will run into heavy resistance; the new technology has to fit the workflow. The consortium's goal is to develop new forms of organization and build new kinds of competence. It aims for a regulatory environment that will let blockchain approaches flourish.
The working group structure stresses collaboration rather than isolated development. Working together, they'll be able to develop multiple proofs of concept in parallel, and the Development Studio will pick up the best of the ideas. Projects will stress open-source development.
The ideas which Hashed Health is promoting sound excellent. Businesses will have to work together to develop standards, make secure sharing part of the culture, and obtain a favorable regulatory environment . How much does the consortium have going for it? Does it include any influential members? These are the questions Hashed Health will have to answer in order to prove itself.

ONC Blockchain Winner: Accenture Proposal
This past August the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) began a "Blockchain Challenge." Namely, they solicited white papers on the potential uses of blockchain technology in health IT to address blockchain's potential contributions in the "privacy, security, and scalability challenges of managing electronic health records and resources."
ONC Blockchain Challenge Whitepaper Review: Accenture
Of the more than 70 proposals, 15 were chosen based on multiple factors, including:
the approach towards market viability;
its creativity;
the ability to inform and foster transformative change;
the potential to support a number of national health objectives; and
the potential to advance the flow of information.
Among the ONC Challenge finalists was an eleven-page proposal by Accenture. Accenture's proposal, titled Blockchain: Securing a New Health Interoperability Experience, aims at improving patient outcomes and
interoperability via the integration of blockchain's distributed ledger technology with existing IT systems. The proposal further focused on three specific applications "relevant to the mission of the ONC."
Secure and trusted care records
Creating secure healthcare records into "an electronic chain of events, while preserving the provenance and integrity of the records." Using access and control permissions in conjunction with solutions such as tokenization, pseudonymization or masking technologies, privacy and security of records would be improved.
Strengthening identity proofing, as well as linking between identities, by preserving a transparent record of "the declared identities of both patients and healthcare professionals." In maintaining complete record integrity using the distributed ledger feature, auditability would be increased. Therefore, healthcare fraud would more be more likely to be recognized by patients and providers, and then brought to light.
Patient Consent
Empowering patients by securing their decisions and directives within the secure healthcare record. If patient consent statements, access control decisions and directives were captured in an immutable blockchain, then healthcare professionals would be able to trust those statements and act on them accordingly.
While the paper acknowledged that blockchain may serve as a cohesive force within healthcare's complex data ecosystem, it asserted that blockchain "must be additive" and should not "invalidate" or "minimize" existing technology. Accenture further states that it "enthusiastically" supports the future of blockchain technology in the healthcare realm, and believes it to be a positive force in solving current healthcare industry challenges.

Ocean acidification is one of the most significant threats to ocean health. The implications are far-reaching and dire, and are likely more pervasive and far more threatening to marine life than initially envisioned. This article, generously shared with us by Oceanography Magazine, focuses on the threats that ocean acidification poses to coral reefs, a precious and vulnerable marine resource.
Coral reefs were one of the first ecosystems to be recognized as vulnerable to ocean acidification. To date, most scientific investigations into the effects of ocean acidification on coral reefs have been related to the reefs' unique ability to produce voluminous amounts of calcium carbonate. It has been estimated that the main reef-building organisms, corals and calcifying macroalgae, will calcify 10–50% less relative to pre-industrial rates by the middle of this century. This decreased calcification is likely to affect their ability to function within the ecosystem and will almost certainly affect the workings of the ecosystem itself. However, ocean acidification affects not only the organisms, but also the reefs they build. The decline in calcium carbonate production, coupled with an increase in calcium carbonate dissolution, will diminish reef building and the benefits that reefs provide, such as high structural complexity that supports biodiversity on reefs, and breakwater effects that protect shorelines and create quiet habitats for other ecosystems, such as mangroves and seagrass beds. The focus on calcification in reefs is warranted, but the responses of many other organisms, such as fish, noncalcifying algae, and seagrasses, to name a few, deserve a close look as well.

Homes for All Lieutenant Governor Candidates Forum on Housing a Success
The following blog was written by Pam Johnson, Policy and Advocacy Manager at Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, a Homes for All MN coalition member. It was originally posted here.
As Minnesotans educate ourselves about who to vote for on November 6 in the coming weeks, we just learned a lot more from the two top candidates running for the Lieutenant Governor seat at a well-attended September 12 Housing Forum in Duluth. Candidates Donna Bergstrom (running with Jeff Johnson for Governor) and Peggy Flannagan (running with Tim Walz for Governor) responded to questions proposed from Homes for All Coalition members and a statewide viewing audience via Uptake livestreaming. Habitat joined other Homes for All partners in using the forum to frame housing as an important economic driver in our state, critical to Minnesota's future growth and prosperity. Missed the event? You can watch the UpTake livestream recording here.

Duluth Mayor, Emily Larson, kicked off the event with a strong pitch for affordable housing statewide. She served on the Governor's 2018 Housing Task Force, which recently released its final report, "More Places to Call Home, Investing in Minnesota's Future." Mayor Larson highlighted six key recommendations, which included a commitment to supporting and strengthening pathways to homeownership. She emphasized the need for public, private, philanthropic and community efforts to ensure that all Minnesotans have a pathway out of homeless through a significant boost to our continuum of housing services and production of rental and homeownership opportunities.
As they were interviewed, both Bergstrom and Flannagan learned about Homes for All successful 2018 legislative campaign to secure a record $120 million in affordable housing bonds, and both agreed to strong support for housing bonding if elected. Each described their personal journey and current efforts to support affordable housing. Both acknowledged the importance of a safe stable home for healthy youth development.
Donna recounted her 20 years of service in the Marines as an intelligence officer, work as a benefits coordinator for the Fond du Lac tribe and service on the Lutheran Social Services Center for Changing Lives Board. She expressed a passion for kids growing up healthy, and that fueled her successful work to help secure youth homelessness prevention funding. Peggy described how her world view was forged as a child growing up in subsidized housing, and this lens informed her work as the Children's Defense Fund Executive Director and state legislator. She said that as a "recovering Executive Director" she is well informed of the myriad of organizations and services that form Minnesota's safety net and continuum of housing services.
Both candidates underscored the need to "work across the aisle" with members of all political parties, and to forge new and sometimes unlikely partnerships to achieve policy goals. On the topic of homeownership, Donna Bergstrom was asked about her perspectives of the Governor's Task Force report on strengthening pathways to homeownership, with a focus on removing barriers for households of color. (Visit the UpTake recording at 14:29 for a five minute response to this question). Bergstrom responded that this was a "perfect example of one of the roles of government—to ensure that the playing field is equal, and that everyone has an opportunity to achieve homeownership if that is what they want." She offered the example of a successful federal model to end veteran homelessness through a partnership between HUD and the Veterans Administration, called "Housing First." Bergstrom also talked about the need to address regulatory restrictions at the local level, which can prevent housing development.
A question was posed to Peggy Flannagan about how a Walz-Flannagan ticket would respond to the 2018 Homes for All legislative priorities to create more homes through: state support for local housing trust funds, creation of a state tax credit for rental and homeownership development, and expansion of the Workforce Home Ownership in MN (WHOM) program (visit the UpTake recording at 42:43 for a two minute response to this question). She noted her pride in co-authoring a bill this past legislative session to create support for local housing trust funds to ensure both preservation and new development of homes, underscoring the need for geographic equity. She also spoke later (at 58:48) about the need to "get real about bonding funding of at least $300 million per year ongoing."

\section*{Introduction}
This paper extends the results of \cite{M20} to type $D$, showing that the rule given there for computing basis vectors of isotypic components of a Kazhdan-Lusztig left (or right) cell extends to that type.

\section{Operators on tableau pairs}
We will continue to use the notation of the three parts of Garfinkle's series of papers on the classification of primitive ideals in types $B$ and $C$, as maintained and supplemented in \cite{MP16}.  Let $W$ be a Weyl group of type $D_n$.  If $\alpha,\beta$ are adjacent simple roots, now necessarily of the same length, then we use the wall-crossing operator $T_{\alpha\beta}$ as defined in \cite[2.1.10]{G92}, unless $\{\alpha,\beta\} = \{\alpha_1',\alpha_3\}= \{e_2+e_1,e_3-e_2\}$, in which case we use the operators $T_{\alpha_1'\alpha_3}^L,T_{\alpha_3,\alpha_1'}^L$ defined in \cite[4.3.5]{MP16}, alternatively denoting either of these by $T_{\alpha\beta}^L$.  These last operators do not preserve right tableaux in general; we will use them only in the cases where they do preserve this tableau, that is, either case (1) of \cite[4.3.5]{MP16}, or in case (2) of this definition or its analogue in case (4) if the cycle of the 3-domino is closed in  $\tilde\T_1$, or in case (3) or its analogue in case (4) if the cycle of the 3-domino is closed in $\T_1$.   As in \cite{M20}, we extend the operators $T_{\alpha\beta}$ to tableau pairs $(\T_1,\T_2)$ by decreeing that they act trivially on $\T_2$; the operators $T_{\alpha_1'\alpha_3}^L,T_{\alpha_3\alpha_1'}^L$ are already defined on tableau pairs.  We also use the operators $T_{\alpha X}^L,T_{X\alpha}^L$ defined in \cite[4.4.10]{MP16} and their truncations $U_{\alpha X}^L,U_{X\alpha}^L$, where the value or values of the latter operators on a tableau pair $(\T_1,\T_2)$ consist of all pairs in $T_{\alpha X}^L(\T_1,\T_2)$ or $T_{X\alpha}^L(\T_1,\T_2)$ whose right tableau is $\T_2$.  As in \cite{M20}, we need a family of additional operators to generate the equivalence relation among tableau pairs of having the same right tableau.  By analogy with the corresponding definition in \cite{M20}, we define a tableau shape to be a {\sl quasi staircase} if it takes the form $\lambda_n=(2n+1,\ldots,n+3,n+2,n+2,n,n,n-1,\ldots,1)$ or $\mu_n=(2n+2,2n+1,\ldots,n+3,n+2,n+2,n,n,n-1,\ldots,1)$; note that the quasi staircase shapes in type $D$ are just the transposes of the quasi staircase shapes in type $C$.   We then define operators $S_n,S_n',{}^tS_n$, and ${}^tS_n'$ much as we did in \cite{M20}, for each $n$ fixing two domino tableaux $\tilde\T_1,\tilde\U_1$ of shape $\lambda_n$ and two others $\tilde\T_2,\tilde\U_2$ of shape $\mu_n$, such that the two largest dominos of all of them lie vertically at the end of the two rows of length $n$ and horizontally at the end of the row just above these rows and each $\tilde\U_i$ is obtained from $\tilde\T_i$ by interchanging these dominos.  Then the operator $T_n$ is defined on a tableau pair $(\T_1,\T_2)$ such that the first $(n+1)^2$ dominos form the subtableau $\tilde\T_1$ or $\tilde\U_1$ by interchanging the two largest dominos in the subtableau while leaving all other dominos in $\T_1$ and $\T_2$ unchanged; we define $S_n'$ similarly, working with $\tilde\T_2$ and $\tilde\U_2$ rather than $\tilde\T_1$ and $\tilde\U_1$, and we define ${}^tS_n,{}^tS_n'$ to be the transposes of $S_n,S_n'$, respectively, taking the transpose of a pair on which $\S_n$ or $\S_n'$ is defined to the transpose of the image of that pair under $S_n$ or $S_n'$.  The composition $T_\Sigma$ of a sequence $\Sigma$ of operators $T_{\alpha\beta},T_{\alpha\beta}^L,U_{\alpha X}^L,U_{X\alpha}^L,S_n,S_n',{}^tS_n$, and ${}^tS_n'$, is defined as in \cite{M20}.

\section{Transitivity of the action on tableau pairs}

We now extend Theorem 1 of \cite{M20} to type $D$.

\newtheorem*{thm1}{Theorem 1}
\begin{thm1}
Given two pairs $(\T_1,\T_2),(\T_1',\T_2')$ of domino tableaux of the same shape such that $\T_2=\T_2'$, there is a sequence $\Sigma$ of operators $T_{\alpha\beta},T_{\alpha\beta}^L,U_{X\alpha}^L,U_{\alpha X}^L,S_n,\break S_n',{}^tS_n$, and ${}^tS_n'$, such that $(\T_1',\T_2')$ is one of the pairs in $T_\Sigma(\T_1,\T_2)$.
\end{thm1}

\begin{proof}
This is proved in the same way as in \cite{H97} and \cite[Theorem 1]{M20}, using Lemma 4.6.8 and Theorem 4.6.2 of \cite{MP16} in place of Theorem 3.2.2 of \cite{G93}.  Once again the most difficult case in proving the analogue of Lemma 4.6.8 is case I and it is this case that gives rise to the operators $S_n,S_n'$ and their transposes.
\end{proof}

We enlarge the operators $S_n,S_n',{}^tS_n$, and ${}^tS_n'$ to operators $T_n,T_n',{}^tT_n$, and $ {}^tT_n'$ as in \cite{M20}, so that these last operators are defined on all tableau pairs $(\T_1,\T_2)$ such that $\T_1$ can be moved through open cycles to produce a tableau with quasi staircase or transposed quasi staircase shape and the image of a tableau pair under an operator is either one or two tableau pairs of the same shape.  These operators again extend to $W$-equivariant linear maps from left cells on which they are defined to other left cells; the maps also preserve right cells.  Similarly the operators $U_{X\alpha}^L,U_{\alpha X}^L$ extend to $W$-equivariant maps $T_{X\alpha}^L,T_{\alpha X}^L$ from left cells of $W$ to other left cells that also preserve right cells.

\section{Decomposition of left cells}
The rule stated before Lemma 1 of \cite{M99} for constructing bases of isotypic components of Kazhdan-Lusztig left cells in types $B$ or $C$ continues to hold for a Weyl group $W$ of type $D$.  Fix left cells $\mathcal C,\mathcal R$ of $W$ lying in the same double cell $\mathcal D$.  Let $x$ be the unique element of $\mathcal C\cap\mathcal R$ whose left tableau $T_L(x)$ has special shape.  Let $\sigma$ be either of the two partitions of $2n$ corresponding to a representation $\pi$ of $W$ occurring in both $\mathcal C$ and $\mathcal R$, if $\sigma$ is not very even; if it is very even, then $\mathcal C$ and $\mathcal R$ are both irreducible as $W$-modules and there is nothing to do.  Let $e_1,\ldots,e_r$ be the extended open cycles of $T_L(x)$ relative to $T_R(x)$ such that moving $T_L(x)$ through these open cycles produces a tableau of shape $\sigma$.  Given any $w\in\mathcal C\cap\mathcal R$, let $T_L(w)$ be obtained from $T_L(x)$ by moving through the extended open cycles  $f_1,\ldots,f_s$ (relative to $T_R(x)$).  Put $\sigma_w=\pm1$ according as an even or odd number of $f_i$ appear among the $e_j$.  Set $R_\sigma = \sum_{w\in\mathcal C\cap\mathcal R} \sigma_wC_w$.

\newtheorem*{thm2}{Theorem 2}
\begin{thm2}
The right or left $W$-submodule generated by $R_\sigma$ is irreducible and $W$ acts on it by $\pi$.
\end{thm2}

\begin{proof}
This is proved in the same way as \cite[Theorem 2]{M20}, using \cite[4.4.10]{MP16} in place of \cite[2.3.4]{G92}, to show that the formula for $R_\sigma$ is compatible with the operators $T_{\alpha\beta},T_{\alpha\beta}^L,T_{\alpha X}^L,T_{X\alpha}^L$, in the sense that if a particular $R_\sigma$ coincides with $R_\sigma'$ and so transforms by $\pi$, then the same will be true of the image of $R_\sigma$ under any composition $\Sigma$ of maps $T_{\alpha\beta},T_{\alpha\beta}^L,T_{\alpha X}^L,T_{X\alpha}^L$ that is nonzero on $R_\sigma$.  We must show that this continues to hold for compositions including the operators $T_n,T_n',{}^tT_n$, and ${}^tT_n'$, and for this it is enough to check that the formula for $R_\sigma$ holds for particular cell intersections arising in the definition of the $S_n$ and $S_n'$, as in \cite{M20}, assuming inductively that it holds in smaller rank.

Assume now that $W$ is of type $D_9$ and consider a cell intersection $I=\mathcal C\cap\mathcal C^{-1}$, where $\mathcal C$ is represented by an element with left tableau $\T_1$ chosen as above for the shape $(5,4,4,2,2,1)$; suppose in addition that the $7$-domino in $\T_1$ is horizontal and lies directly above the $8$-domino, while the $6$-domino is horizontal and lies at the end of the first row, so that the irreducible constituents of $\mathcal C$ as a $W$-module are indexed by the partitions $(5,5,3,3,1,1),(5,4,4,2,1,1),(5,5,3,2,2,1)$, and $(5,4,4,3,1,1)$ of 18.  Denote by $x_p$ the unique element in the intersection $I$ whose left and right tableaux have shape $p$.  Then compositions of operators $T_{\alpha\beta},T_{\alpha\beta}^L,U_{X\alpha}^L$, and $U_{\alpha X}^L$ act transitively on tableau pairs with a fixed right tableau not of shape $(5,4,4,2,2,1)$ or its transpose $(6,5,3,3,1)$, so the argument in the proof of \cite[Theorem 1]{M99} applies to show that

\begin{align*}
R_{5,5,3,3,1,1)}' = x_{(5,5,3,3,1,1)}+x_{(5,4,4,2,2,1)}+x_{(5,5,3,2,2,1)}+x_{(5,4,4,3,1,1)}\\ R_{(5,5,3,2,2,1)}' = x_{(5,5,3,3,1,1)}-x_{(5,4,4,2,1,1)}-x_{(5,5,3,2,2,1)} + x_{(5,4,4,3,1, 1)}
\end{align*}
\vskip .2in
\noindent while either

\begin{align*}
R_{(5,4,4,2,2,1)}' = x_{(5,5,3,3,1,1)}+x_{(5,4,4,2,2,1)}-x_{(5,5,3,2,2,1)}-x_{(5,4,4,3,1,1)}\\
 R_{(5,4,4,3,1,1)}' = x_{(5,5,3,3,1,1)}-x_{(5,4,4,2,2,1)}+x_{(5,5,3,2,2,1)}-x_{(5,4,4,3,1,1)}
 \end{align*}
\vskip .2in
\noindent or else

\begin{align*}
R_{(5,4,4,2,2,1)}' = x_{(5,5,3,3,1,1)}-x_{(5,4,4,2,2,1)}+x_{(5,5,3,2,2,1)}-x_{(5,4,4,3,1,1)}\\
R_{(5,4,4,3,1,1)}' = x_{(5,5,3,3,1,1)}+x_{(5,4,4,2,2,1)}-x_{(5,5,3,2,2,1)}-x_{(5,4,4,3,1,1)}
\end{align*}
\vskip .2in
\noindent But now if we take the basis elements for the Weyl group $W'$ of type $D_5$ corresponding to the tableau pairs consisting of the first five dominos of every tableau in all the pairs corresponding to elements of $I$ and label the resulting elements $y_q$ in type $D_5$ by partitions $q$ of 10 as we did the elements of $I$ by partitions of 18, we find that $y_{(3,3,1,1,1,1)} - y_{(3,2,2,1,1,1)}$ transforms by the representation corresponding to $(3,2,2,1,1,1)$ of $W'$, whose truncated induction to $W$ is the direct sum of the representations corresponding to $(5,4,4,3,1,1)$ and $(5,4,4,2,2,1)$.  In order to make $x_{(5,4,4,2,2,1)} - x_{(5,5,3,3,1,1)}$ transform by representations lying in this last truncated induced representation, we find that the first pair of equations for $R_{(5,4,4,2,2,1)}' $ and $R_(5,4,4,3,1,1)'$ must hold, as desired..  It follows that the operators $T_2,T_2',{}^tT_2$, and ${}^tT_2'$, extended to linear maps between left cells regarded as $W$-modules, are indeed equivariant for the left $W$-action.  Like the maps $T_{\alpha\beta}$ and $T_{\alpha\beta}^L$, they are compatible with the formula for $R_\sigma$.  Similar arguments show that the linear extensions of the other maps $T_n,T_n',{}^tT_n$, and ${}^tT_n'$ are also $W$-equivariant and compatible with the formula for $R_\sigma$.  As in \cite{M20} we now have enough $W$-equivariant maps between left cells to validate the proof of \cite[Theorem 1]{M99}.
\end{proof}

We then correct the statements of Theorem 4.2 in \cite{M96} and Theorems 2.1 and 2.2 in \cite{M'96} as in \cite{M20}, all three of these results being corrected and superseded by the following one:  {\sl given any two left cells $\mathcal C_1,\mathcal C_2$ in a Weyl group $W$ of type $D$ that have a representation $\pi$ of $W$ in common, there is a composition $\Sigma$ of maps $T_{\alpha\beta},T_{\alpha\beta}^L,T_{X\alpha}^L,T_{\alpha X}^L,T_n,T_n',{}^tT_n$, and ${}^tT_n'$ from $\mathcal C_1$ to $\mathcal C_2$ whose restriction to the copy of $\pi$ in $\mathcal C_1$ maps it isomorphically onto the corresponding copy of $\pi$ in $\mathcal C_2$}.
