fou un violoncel·lista i compositor alemany-escocès.

Biografia
Johann Georg Christoph Schetky, fill del cantant i violinista Ernst Gottlieb Schetky (1716-1767) i de la cantant Maria Elisabeth Eberhard (1714-1769) va ser format inicialment pel seu pare i Johann Samuel Endler (baix). A més d'una lliçó d'un mes amb Anton Filtz, fou autodidacta en gran manera com a violoncel i compositor. El 1768 es va convertir en membre de la capella del "Darmstädter Hof". El 1770 va donar un concert a Londres i dos anys després a Edimburg es va convertir en el primer violoncel·lista de la "Edimburg Musical Society", dirigida per Karl Friedrich Abel. Aquí va tenir un paper principal amb el seu amic Thomas Erskine. A Edimburg, Schetky es va casar amb Maria Theresa Reinagle, filla del trompetista Joseph Reinagle, que també era d'origen alemany i germana del violoncel·lista i compositor Joseph Reinagle junior. Malgrat la disputa amb la "Edinburgh Musical Society", va romandre com a principal violoncel·lista i va tocar, ensenyar i compondre en la mateixa mesura.

Conseqüències
Les conseqüències de Schetky es nodreixen fonamentalment de la seva tasca pedagògica. Ja a la prefaci dels seus Dotze duets per a dos violoncels op.7 (1780), fa algunes observacions i regles per a jugar al violoncel . Remarca la importància que és per a un violoncel poder interpretar bé l'acompanyament de baix. Segons la seva opinió, els joves violoncel·listes presten massa atenció a la reproducció en solitari que a tocar bé una línia de baix, cosa que podria obtenir més respecte. Les seves lliçons pràctiques i progressives per al violoncelal voltant de 1813 foren importants materials didàctics de l'època. En aquestes dona instruccions per tocar el cordal en el violoncel, en què era considerat un mestre. Schetky va jugar durant molt de temps amb la presa d'arc usada anteriorment, segons es va informar a l' Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung a l'octubre de 1799, i va semblar que després va passar a la presa de proa. En les seves lliçons d'aproximadament 1813 ho descriu clarament.

Obres
Alguns manuscrits de les seves obres (simfonies, sonates, duets) es conserven a la Biblioteca de la Universitat i de l'Estat a Darmstadt i a la Biblioteca Estatal de Schwerin. Estilísticament, les seves composicions pertanyen a l'Escola Mannheim, incloent un concert de piano, vuit concerts de violoncel, quatre simfonies, sis quartets de corda, 10 sonates de piano i 23 de trio i nombroses obres per a violoncel amb o sense acompanyament. Algunes de les seves obres han estat impreses a Londres i Edimburg.

El seu fill George Schetky també va ser violoncel·lista i va esdevenir un dels primers compositors nord-americans.

View Poll Results: 4L80e or T56?
Do you mind sharing the end result? After all the discussion treads, I'm curious how it turned out.
Bill, are you talking about whether Shaun chose a T56 or 4L80 or the results of the poll? The poll results are at the top. There were a 153 voters and 105 (68.63%) said T56 vs 48 (31.37%) said 4l80e.
Personally I was going to go 4L80 on my '67 and even had one but then decided I need the "man pedal" so I went with a close ratio T56 and 3:42 gears. The gearing is almost the same as a M22 close ratio muncie with 4.11s in first gear and I should be cruising at about 1900 - 2000 rpm at 70 mph. A close ratio muncie with 4.11:1s comes in at 9.042:1 overall in first gear vs my T56 with 3.42:1s comes in at 9.0972:1 overall in first gear.
and whos ever gone to a car show and looked all over the car thinking it was sweet, looked inside and said "eh its an auto" and walked away?
Funny you say that 'cause I do the exact same thing when I see a MANUAL car… But…'too each his own".
Always been a stick only guy at least when it comes to hot rods but DD's....in todays traffic autos the way to go.
Did the auto/stall, trying different gears deal just couldnt like it. Doing the manual conversion brought the character of the car out big time.
This hobby doesnt have to make "Sense" just be enjoyable. Like a steak when a hamburger is cheaper. Lifes short!
Will say if there was a nice 6 spd auto available I could afford sometimes think about it but it would get old quick.
This Thread is more than 511 days old. It is very likely that it does not need any further discussion and thus bumping it serves no purpose.

Newsletter May/June 2011
You are here: Blog > Archive > Newsletter May/June 2011
Spring: a time for spring cleaning! During the height of this season, the Center for Anthroposophy submitted itself to an administrative review as part of a multi-phase assessment of its programs and core personnel. We are happy to report that this review yielded a strong endorsement of our programs and those who lead them. The review, ably led by Kay Hoffman and her colleagues at Adminservices, also pointed to areas where we could improve our offerings and make better use of modern technology. Our thanks to all who participated in this process.
Based on this exercise of review and rejuvenation, we turn––as we do at this time of year––to the forthcoming summer and our latest line-up of programs. It promises to be a dynamic season, starting with Renewal Courses and the Waldorf High School Teacher Education Program in late June and early July and flowing into the new school year with a bumper crop of Foundation Studies around the country, starting in September.
We devote this summer issue of Center & Periphery, then, to a sampling of our new offerings –– as well as to the review of several other new items. Read and rejuvenate!

Dateline Wilton NH: Sampling of Renewal Courses for Summer 2011
Karine Munk Finser, Coordinator of CfA's Renewal Courses, offers a few more detailed vignettes of new courses being offered this summer as part of her program.
I would like to highlight a few of our courses that are being offered this year as unique opportunities:
In Week 1: June 26th-July 1st
Encountering Evil: Explorations into the Task of Our Times: Douglas Sloan will address one of the more critical tasks facing human beings now and in the future: understanding, overcoming, and transforming evil. He will help us look at some of the spiritual resources that are available to us in this task of transformation.
Drawing with Hand, Head, and Heart: Van James will help any teacher both from the grades or high school to develop confidence, skills, and techniques to building capacities in our students. Using crayons, colored pencils, and pastels, he will guide teachers and artists with landscape drawing, plant and animal drawing, still-life drawing, perspective drawing, portrait and figure drawing…and more.
Creating Educational Projects for Children in the Grades: Elizabeth Auer will help home-schooling parents as well as classroom teachers develop crafts projects to augment young children's learning about the world.
Health-Bringing Aspects of the Waldorf Curriculum: Christof Wiechert returns to continue his advanced studies with experienced educators on healing aspects and the art of teaching.
Music in the Light of Anthroposophy: Juliane Weeks and Monica Amstutz will guide music teachers, early childhood educators, home schooling parents, class teachers, and health practitioners seeking to enliven their relationship to music. Participants will take home a rich handout of songs and related materials.
In Week 2: July 3rd- July 8th
We are indeed fortunate to have Virginia Sease with us this year. Imagine spending five days under her wise guidance, exploring the Life and Work of Rudolf Steiner, the path into the New Mysteries and Modern Initiation.
Ruskin Mills' Aonghus Gordon and his Master Craftsmen are back this year. Come and learn a craft that may bring healing elements into your class or work with young adults. This course will change your life and outlook!
Janene Ping will help her group produce a modern fairy tale: The Bee Man of Orn. This production-oriented course will culminate in a full stage set-up and performance with children and adults in the audience. Channa Seidenberg will provide unique and beautiful music.
Other rich courses include Philip Thatcher's work with Parzival and the Times of Michael; and a Math course for the upper elementary grades with Jamie York; and much more!
Evening events are optional but always stimulating. There will be lectures by
Van James on Rudolf Steiner's Blackboard Drawings
Christof Wiechert on the Hibernian Mysteries
Virginia Sease on Waldorf Education
Peter Snow on the Rosslyn Chapel.
In addition we are sponsoring a full eurythmy performance dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Rudolf Steiner's birth, performed by Eurythmy Spring Valley.
In short, this is a big year for us with a wealth of unique opportunities that will not be repeated. Please join us!
Dateline Wilton NH: Renewal Through Eurythmy
Eurythmy Spring Valley troupe makes a special appearance at the summer Renewal Courses in Wilton, NH. Get a sneak preview here of their program.
"Eurythmy Spring Valley" will perform in the Pine Hill Auditorium on the evening of July 5th, during the second week of our Renewal Courses. The special program, dedicated to Rudolf Steiner, will feature pieces of both tone and speech eurythmy.
It is our intention to open our doors to share this artistic event with community members and friends. Tickets, at $12.00, can be purchased at the door or reserved by calling the CfA office at (603) 654- 2566.
Date Wilton NH: The Bee Man of Orn
The Bee Man of Orn will be performed at Pine Hill School, in the Auditorium, on July 7th, at 7p.m.
Original music offered by Channa Seidenberg. This will be a beautiful silk marionette production not to be missed! Children and parents from the community are welcome! $2/child or $5/family
Dateline Wilton NH: Curtain Rising on New Season in New Hampshire
The Center for Anthroposophy once again is hosting two one-week sessions of Renewal Courses in June and July. Karine Munk Finser, Coordinator of Renewal Courses, describes the atmosphere and major offerings of the summer session.
What is Renewal? It speaks to the urgency for people to come together to strengthen their lives by addressing their questions and needs. In the Renewal process they find joy, courage, and the building of capacities through one another. And they encounter many teachers and friends on the path! Renewal inspires life participation and courage in life by deepening work in Anthroposophy.
For over a decade we have been offering one-week courses each summer in a retreat-like atmosphere on the campus of High Mowing School in Southern New Hampshire. We offer both philosophical and hands-on courses––all with an artistic component––intended to rejuvenate participants through an immersion in a chosen field of anthroposophical study. All of these courses serve both personal and professional development. We attract a stellar faculty who are specialists in the practice of adult education, with the result that many of our participants return each year to take new classes. It's always a great joy and inspiration for me when I see people returning and meeting up once again from year to year. This will be our twelfth summer of offering Renewal Courses.
Each course is devoted to a particular subject or theme––some very practical, others more general––and for the entire week, participants focus on this topic through a combination of discussion and artistic practice. In other words, participants will choose one course and then remain with this subject throughout the week. By delving into subject matter with the same group of people under the guidance of a seasoned instructor, our participants can experience the thrill of discovering ever deeper layers of meaning or content. In their evaluation of these courses, many participants report a sense of transformation on a personal or professional level.
As an art therapist, I know the importance of healthy breathing. We take care to create a daily rhythm that is health-giving, renewing, and inspiring. Each morning, we gather as a community for singing and eurythmy before starting our classes. We build in a generous mid-day break in which participants are served lunch from our famous kitchen, followed by another hour for resting, swimming in the pool, socializing and visiting our fully-stocked Waldorf art supply and bookstore. The evenings are devoted to something different each night –– for instance musical recitals or lectures and other artistic events such as a cabaret and artistic soiree in which participants can share their talents. All of these special events are free for registered attendees and open to the local community.
Several special events are planned for this summer. We will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of Rudolf Steiner's birth this year. Virginia Sease is coming from the Goetheanum to give a course on Rudolf Steiner's life and work and the path of modern initiation. We are also delighted that Eurythmy Spring Valley will present "Journey to Selfhood: Celebrating Rudolf Steiner through Eurythmy, Poetry and Music", a special evening performance dedicated to Rudolf Steiner at the Pine Hill Auditorium on 5 July.
Aonghus Gordon and his master craftsmen from Ruskin Mill in England will return to enliven us with land-based artistic work.
Beyond these offerings we also have courses on Veilpainting with Iris Sullivan; Drawing with Van James; Preparing for our Times (the Problem of Evil) with Douglas Sloan; Exploring the Parzival Legend with Philip Thatcher; Making a Flow Form with Jennifer Greene; Making Artistic Projects for Children with Elizabeth Auer; Studying Healing Aspects of Waldorf Education with Christof Wiechert; and much, much more!

Dateline Wilton NH: New Cycle of High School Program in Full Swing
Each summer for the past 15 years, the Center for Anthroposophy has launched a new cycle of the Waldorf High School Teacher Education Program (WHiSTEP). Here a brief preview of the subjects being featured this summer.
How many teachers does it take to constitute a full high school faculty? At the Center for Anthroposophy, we calculate that number as approaching 12 (give or take a few, depending on the size of the school): 3-4 for humanities including languages; 3-4 for sciences and math; 3-4 for arts and crafts, as well as athletics. These numbers do not include administrative and non-classroom positions such as college and guidance counselors, after-school coaches, and office staff.
Each summer, the Center's Waldorf High School Teacher Education Program (WHiSTEP) admits a new class of 10-15 students––in other words, the equivalent of a full high school faculty––ranging across the subject specializations. This year we are offering specialized "subject seminars" in English and Language, History and Social Science, Life Science and Earth Science, and Mathematics. (In other years we have also offered start-up courses in Arts and Art History, Physics, and Pedagogical Eurythmy.)
About a dozen teachers from across the country––from California and Colorado, Texas and Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as well as a scattering of New England states––have been accepted into the latest cycle of this month-long summer program, which includes seminars, artistic ateliers, and subject-specific workshops. The latest group of teachers––most of them already active in the classroom––will be studying alongside trainees in the Waldorf elementary teacher education program of Antioch University New England. All of these summer programs are held on the adjacent campuses of Pine Hill Waldorf School and High Mowing School in Southeastern New Hampshire.
Since the inception of WHiSTEP in July 1996, some 117 students have completed this part-time three-summers program. Overall, around 65% of current and graduated students are working full or part-time at some 55 Waldorf schools in the English-speaking world. As of this year, WHiSTEP students or graduates are active in 35 of the 40 Waldorf high schools extant in North America from Pacific to Atlantic coast and every region in between.
Dateline Great Barrington MA: Torin Finser on Initiative
David Kennedy offers this brief review of Torin Finser's new book entitled Initiative: A Rosicrucian Path of Leadership, published this month by SteinerBooks.
Every once in a while, you come across a book that you really can't get out of your head. You might think it's going to be about one thing, but it turns out to be something quite else. And it sticks with you.
Initiative: A Rosicrucian Path of Leadership is about the rewarding struggle to create meaningful initiative in our time. When we are alone and when we are with others, the impulse to create something new arises from a special place that is sometimes elusive, exhilarating, and threatening. Torin Finser explores different aspects of initiative in a way that speaks to the young, the young at heart, and the young in all of us.
The introduction, "Hear me God, I can't take it anymore…," sets the tone for weaving together the four chapters:
Living a Spiritual Life in an Age of Materialism
Freedom and Initiative
Planetary Leadership
Torin Finser is General Secretary of the Anthroposophical Society in America and a long-time Waldorf educator. Initiative, his latest book, explores ethical individualism in a way that is fully transformative. He combines diverse influences, including Peace Pilgrim, Paul Newman, and the Rosicrucians in a wake-up call for inspired leadership.
The chapter on Planetary Leadership is particularly interesting for groups. Torin introduced the notion of planetary styles in his earlier book Organizational Integrity. In Initiative, it's re-introduced, incorporating further research. Ever wonder why:
(A) Some people cultivate their inner world with great energy, but generally have poor relationships with the outer world. They don't relate to the moment, or the present, but tend to see everything in the context of the past. "Five years ago when we faced this situation…"
(B) With some people chaos is generally the rule. They always seem to be in motion, dancing through life as it were. They jump from one thing to another, and undertake a million and one different tasks that seem to come their way by chance. Whatever is happening at the moment is of the utmost importance.
(C) There are those that are wonderful mirrors of their environment. This is possible because they are inwardly passive and have few defenses against the outside world. Their virtue is an artistic inclination, while their vice is passivity.
(The planetary styles typified by these examples are listed at the end of this review.)
The chapter works so beautifully as a concluding chapter because it doesn't present the planetary styles as labels for individuals, but as living and fluidly plastic images to help understand crucial roles in an organization. How many times have we heard, "I can't believe she's always like that!" Initiative helps to put that comment into an organizational context, so the sentence would end like this for a change: "… but I'd like to understand why she has that role in this organization or relationship." There are concrete suggestions for ways of working with the planetary styles.
The appendices include Meditations for the Days of the Week, The Pentagram as a Tool for Self-Development, and an inspiring letter from the Anthroposophical Prison Outreach Program.
A timely book.

Dateline Freeport ME: Record Number of Foundation Studies Clusters
Next year the Center for Anthroposophy will be sponsoring a record 9 clusters in Foundation Studies, from Upper Valley in Vermont to Atlanta on the plains of Georgia. Barbara Richardson, Coordinator of Foundation Studies, reports on this unprecedented line-up.
In past years, the Center for Anthroposophy has sponsored 4-6 clusters of Foundation Studies in Anthroposophy and the Arts, usually hosted by Waldorf schools across the country from Maine to California. In this coming school year, we will venture for the first time into the Deep South with our first ever program in Atlanta GA, jointly sponsored by the Academe of the Oaks and the Waldorf School of Atlanta. This is one of a record-breaking10 clusters in Foundation Studies that the Center is organizing this year.
New clusters are also starting this fall at the Upper Valley Waldorf School in Quechee VT; at the Shining Rivers School in St. Louis MO; and at the Hartsbrook School in Hadley MA. Meanwhile the cluster at the Emerson Waldorf School in Chapel Hill NC, which began midway through the last school year, will resume its Year One program in September.
Participants in Asheville NC will finish their two-year program this autumn with Eleanor Winship, Douglas Gerwin, and Nathaniel Williams as instructors. This particular cluster in Foundation Studies is connected with two initiatives that are coming together to open a new Waldorf school beginning in the fall.
Other clusters going into their second year are located at the Linden Waldorf School in Nashville TN, the Merriconeag Waldorf School in Freeport ME, and the Waldorf School of Lexington in Lexington MA. Please check our website to see detailed schedules for each cluster.
Certificates are being handed out this month to participants who have just completed their two years of study in Washington DC. Local organizers of the Washington cluster look forward to starting a new Year One cycle in the fall of 2012.
Participants at the cluster in Nashville were asked this spring to reflect on their experience of taking a first year of Foundation Studies. Here are a sampling of their comments:
"My experience with the Foundation Studies Program has been wonderful, enriching, and fulfilling. My heart, soul, and mind feel nourished and inspired. I am excited to pursue more training and to keep learning and growing from this point on all throughout my life. I feel so grateful that my children are able to have such an incredible education that meets them in so many ways."
"As a new student I had no expectations. It made me re-think, expand my mind, gather info, different perspectives, philosophies. I felt at home and in my element. I was mentally stimulated, challenged, impressed, encouraged, inspired."
"The topics covered––parenting and teaching using ideas outlined in Chapters 1 and 2 of Theosophy––were very helpful and practical, both personally and professionally."
"DOING the exercises described in How to Know Higher Worlds was incredibly valuable!"
"I loved the way the instructor presented the material – requiring us to struggle with our own impressions, ideas, and with having to see relationships and connections on our own. He fed us no fixed concepts and challenged us to sit with open questions. I found it very inspiring."
If you have questions about enrollment or are interested in hosting Foundation Studies in the Arts and Anthroposophy to your area, please contact Barbara Richardson, Coordinator of Foundation Studies at brichardson@centerforanthroposophy.org
Dateline Keene NH: Douglas Gerwin in Status Nascendi
The Monadnock Waldorf High School, which is about to complete its first year with ninth and tenth grades, enjoys a special relationship with the Center's Waldorf High School Teacher Education Program (WHiSTEP). Fully half of its faculty are either WHiSTEP graduates––including Karl Schurman, chair of the high school––or currently enrolled students in the program. Douglas Gerwin, CfA Director and Chair of WHiSTEP, reports on teaching embryology at Monadnock.
Embryology as a main lesson lends itself to the discussion of many "hot topics": stem cell research, cloning, hormone treatment, sexual development, sleep patterns, the effects of drugs, exercise and dieting, cycles of life and death –– to say nothing of the mystery of conception and birth.
It is therefore a special privilege to explore some of these questions with high school sophomores, who represent the newest generation of thinkers taking on these weighty contemporary topics. The most fundamental question, albeit unspoken, remains: "How will the decisions I make about the health of my own being affect the wellbeing of those for whom I may one day become responsible?" But the answers to this question grow ever more complex as we learn more and more how the health––physical, psychological, and spiritual––of young parents can exert life-long influence upon the unfolding of their offspring.
Consider only a recent survey showing that one in five young adults in their late teens and early twenties is suffering from high blood pressure, a condition usually reserved for much older populations. This finding is linked to the fact that up to 65% of these young people are overweight, given that obesity is directly connected to high blood pressure. Since elevated readings in blood pressure, once they become chronic, are usually due to factors that cannot be reversed, the importance of healthy practices in youth cannot be overestimated.
Paradoxically, many teenagers, especially girls, devote more attention to the opposite condition: being, or becoming skinny. Here, too, evidence is showing the long-term effects of poor or inadequate diet on the generation that follows.
Fortunately, in Waldorf schools the levels of childhood obesity seem to be considerably lower than in the general population, but the issue is still urgent given that the influences leading to weight gain––sugar in the diet, media in the place of movement, nervous stimulation at the cost of metabolic activity––are becoming ever more pervasive in our culture.
From initial considerations of health and hygiene such as these, the main lesson on embryology moves on to the study of the endocrine system––including the play of hormonal opposites of drowsiness and insomnia, hyperactivity and inertia, adrenal flight or fight responses––and the mysteries of fertilization, embryonic cell division, and fetal development.
At Monadnock, as is the case in many Waldorf high schools, embryology is taught at the end of tenth grade, just as the students are entering the phase of "sweet 16". It is a perfect time to gaze back on the sunset of childhood and look ahead to the dawn of adulthood. We begin each day with the recitation of a famous passage from "Intimations of Immortality" by William Wordsworth. "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting . . . ."
During the first week of this main lesson, homework assignments were curtailed by the fact that the entire high school––13 sophomores and 13 freshmen––was involved in putting on an adaptation of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in a local town theater in Keene NH. In short, it was a riotous production of bold and at times bawdy drama fully in the spirit of Chaucer's masterpiece. For those familiar with the themes explored in this celebrated epic, the connections between this play and the lessons of embryology will be obvious!

When I left off in debt free update: week sixteen My wife and I had just returned from vacation in Austin Texas. I had put the hotel & rental car on the credit card with plans to pay the CC balance after it posts to the account.
My credit score has been in decline since leaving the "FICO club". To remedy a declining credit score I am trying to use credit to evoke a term called CREDIT UTILIZATION. I'm not a fan but I will play along for now.
The spring break financial hangover isn't a spending hangover. What's eating me up inside is letting the balance of the vacation remain on the credit card for the last fifteen days. Once it hits the account, I will immediately ransfer the allotted funds. The hangover should go way soon.
Focused intensity remained high over the last two weeks. I was able to direct $527 toward the down payment. Money Bacon Girl (my wife) and I are on track to be homeowners by September 2015.
By directing money into the down payment every month we will be prepared for out big purchase. As the summer erodes away into fall I am comfortable going into the home purchase. We will have a big pile of nuts stowed away.
Vacation in Texas was a lot of fun. We visited a rescue zoo, aquarium, wildflower center and the San Antonio Riverwalk. The satisfaction of paying for everything in advance was amazing. Nobody can take that satisfaction away from me.
In my current check I earned about $100 less because I worked a day less while I was on vacation. I have no regrets but I have been kicking it into gear now that I am back. Lets see how I am telling my money what to do.
The bi-monthly budget spreadsheet is a cool tool. My budget is a roadmap that will direct my spending thru May 4th. I anticipate making a few changes and you can check back on May 6th when I publish the debt free update: week twenty.
'Blow Money' is a category that is designed not to be spent but can be. If I can avoid blowing money for the next two weeks then I will stack a few more bucks into the down payment category.


The University of Michigan's (U-M's) second human embryonic stem cell line has just been placed on the U.S. National Institutes of Health's registry, making the cells available for federally-funded research. It is the second of the stem cell lines derived at U-M to be placed on the registry. The line, known as UM11-1PGD, was derived from a cluster of about 30 cells removed from a donated five-day-old embryo roughly the size of the period at the end of this sentence. That embryo was created for reproductive purposes, tested, and found to be affected with a genetic disorder, deemed not suitable for implantation, and would therefore have otherwise been discarded when it was donated in 2011. It carries the gene defect responsible for Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, a hereditary neurological disorder characterized by a slowly progressive degeneration of the muscles in the foot, lower leg, and hand. CMT is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, affecting one in 2,500 people in the United States. People with CMT usually begin to experience symptoms in adolescence or early adulthood. The embryo used to create the cell line was never frozen, but rather was transported from another in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory in the state of Michigan to the U-M in a special container. This may mean that these stem cells will have unique characteristics and utilities in understanding CMT disease progression or screening therapies in comparison to other human embryonic stem cells. "We are proud to provide this cell line to the scientific community, in hopes that it may aid the search for new treatments and even a cure for CMT," says Gary Smith, Ph.D., who derived the line and also is co-director of the U-M Consortium for Stem Cell Therapies, part of the A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute.


Nutrition is a process by which our body's obtain, store and use food for our health, growth, and development. Everyone can benefit from good nutrition, from early childhood to old age. We believe in educating our patients about the ways that a nutrient-dense diet can maximize health, increase energy, manage weight, enhance physical performance, and help the immune system fight off disease. Our nutritional programs correspond to our patients' health objectives at all stages of life.
that nutrition should be adjusted according to age, gender, and certain life and health factors? For example, a woman who is trying to conceive should be feeding herself nutrients that will prepare her body for pregnancy. During the gestational period, nutritional needs change yet again in order to support an unborn child. And once again, the nutritional intake will need to be adjusted in the post-partum period – especially if a woman decides to breastfeed her baby.
Should I enroll in a nutritional program?
What should I expect from your nutritional program?
All of our services are evidence-based and medically supervised. We will initially bring you into our office for a nutritional consultation to find out more about your health background and current eating habits. Based on the results of our evaluation, we will make a recommendation to you, complete with step-by-step instructions that will help you shed unwanted weight, improve overall health, and reach your long-term goals.
How long will it take to get results from your program?
Everyone is biologically unique, meaning individual results will vary. However, following our plans according to our recommendations can take you on a progressive journey of improved health and wellness. Often, our patients begin to take notice of changes and improvements gradually. Initially, this may mean increased energy. Later, patients may start to notice symptoms disappearing and greater athletic performance. Ultimately, many nutritional patients begin to see their bodies transform as fat falls off, muscles become more toned, and they learn how to live in a peak state of wellness for life.


If you have bad credit, and you have blemishes on your credit file, it does not mean you can't get a loan. it means you will more than likely require a Bad credit home loan. these loans are unique in that they offer you the ability to get a home loan or mortgage despite the bad credit history.
If you have a problem with your credit file it is best to deal with it upfront and not try to hide the fact. This makes getting your loan approved much easier.
Often there are late payments which you might think are a problem. These instances don't necessarily mean that you have a problem so it is best to apply directly to Veda Advantage for a report. This inquiry does not leave a mark on your file and costs approx $40.00. It will give you peace of mind once you know the facts.
Your credit file is administered by Veda Advantage in Australia. This organization is the reporting body for all credit enquires you make. It is also the body who is notified is you don't repay your commitments.
Who are the Bad Credit Lenders?
There are many bad credit lenders in the market place who handle loans to clients who don't have a clean credit record. These lenders have different ways about giving credit. These lenders who specialize in bad credit home loans are at times also known as non conforming lenders. most of the bad credit home loan lenders are also private institutions which you might find listed on the stock exchange.
The bad credit home loan lenders generally don't have Lenders Mortgage Insurance generally. They may charge a risk fee instead of mortgage of LMI, but your Mortgage Provider consultant will guide you through the different lending options. The standard amongst all these lenders is risk for rate. The higher the risk to the lender the higher the rate. Some apply the same logic to the way their fees are charged.
Am I Eligible for Bad Credit Home Loan?
You could get a bad credit home loan if you have secure and regular employment and you are not currently Bankrupt. Further, you must be able to afford the repayments based on the amount you are applying for, whilst providing suitable property security for the mortgage.
Generally you must be discharged from Bankruptcy for 12 months prior to a lender considering you for a loan but there are exceptions.
If I have Credit Card Debt, can I get a bad credit home loan?
Having credit card debt does not stop you from getting a bad credit home loan. In today consumer based society it is easy to be lured into easy credit. Let's face it, finance companies send you a pre approved credit card in the mail. At times, some people find themselves in deed credit card debt.
If you find yourself in credit card debt and this is becoming a burden, one of the best options one can take is to consolidate their unsecured debts to their home loan and spread out the term, thus reducing their monthly commitments. Best of all, by consolidating your credit card debts onto your home loan, you will generally get a much lower interest rate than your credit card.
If your credit card payments have been late or in arrears, you could still get a Bad credit home loan. The final rate will depend the level of bad credit and arrears you have. When lenders assess this type of credit history, they will generally grade your conduct history. The better the grade you get, the better the rate that will apply to your loan.
Can I get a Bad Credit Home Loan with if I have Arrears or Unpaid Home Loan Repayments?
Unpaid home loan repayment and arrears are probably the most serious of bad debt credit. Generally there are good reasons for missed or late repayments.
Most lenders in this field rely on the story behind how a customer got into a particular situation rather than judging the person like a lot of the traditional banks do.
This is where your Mortgage Providers consultant comes into the picture. Your consultant will ask you to give them the whole story on how you came to be in this situation. Please don't leave anything out as the lender may decline your loan if other facts come to light after the application is lodged.
What do Lenders Look for when assessing a bad credit home loan?
In today's tight credit market, when lenders are assessing a bad credit home loan, they are primarily looking for affordability. Further, lender's are concerned if a borrower is in trouble the borrower may try to "borrow" their way out of their situation. Because of this, many lenders become concerned when they see multiple applications for credit. Some more conservative lenders are limiting the number of enquires to 4 in the past 6 months.
In order to best approach this situation, one must be honest with himself upfront and seek good guidance. If you think you are in trouble get help rather than try to fix this your self. Sometimes your efforts to fix the situation make the finance professionals job harder, so ask for professional help early.
What will my repayments and fees be with a Bad Credit Home Loan?
The repayments and fee's applicable on a bad credit home loan differ from normal loans. As we have previously pointed out, lenders who lend in this part of the market base their costs on your situation. This will predicate the interest rate and upfront cost and indeed the ongoing fees.
The interest rates for bad credit home loans can range from an increase of 0.3% – 7% from a normal bank loan. The additional cost in fees can also range from an increase of $300 to 3% of the loan amount.
The rule of thumb is not to worry too much about the interest rate. The thing that should most concern you is the repayment. By accepting your situation and coming to realization that there is a problem and accepting that fact that you can get your self out of the situation by making your repayments on time will go along way to resolving what could be a devastating life event.
At Mortgage Providers, we have access to a wide panel of bad credit home loan lenders. Best of all we know the policy differentiations of these different lenders. we know what fee structure, and interest rate matrix they offer for different bad credit history. Call us to discuss your bad credit scenario and we will be glad to help.

Q: How to load quickdic dictionary into C# I have downloaded a dictionary file from http://code.google.com/p/quickdic-dictionary/
But the file extension is .quickdic and is not plain text.
How can I load the quickdic dictionaries (.quickdic) into c# to make simple word queries?

A: I browsed through the git code, and a few things stuck out.
First, in the DictionaryActivity.java file, there is the following in onCreate():
    final String name = application.getDictionaryName(dictFile.getName());
    this.setTitle("QuickDic: " + name);
    dictRaf = new RandomAccessFile(dictFile, "r");
    dictionary = new Dictionary(dictRaf);

That Dictionary Class is not the built in class with Java, but is here according to the imports:
    import com.hughes.android.dictionary.engine.Dictionary;

When I look there, it shows a constructor for a Dictionary taking a RandomAccessFile as the parameter. Here's that source code:
public Dictionary(final RandomAccessFile raf) throws IOException {
dictFileVersion = raf.readInt();
if (dictFileVersion < 0 || dictFileVersion > CURRENT_DICT_VERSION) {
  throw new IOException("Invalid dictionary version: " + dictFileVersion);
}
creationMillis = raf.readLong();
dictInfo = raf.readUTF();

// Load the sources, then seek past them, because reading them later disrupts the offset.
try {
  final RAFList<EntrySource> rafSources = RAFList.create(raf, new EntrySource.Serializer(this), raf.getFilePointer());
  sources = new ArrayList<EntrySource>(rafSources);
  raf.seek(rafSources.getEndOffset());

  pairEntries = CachingList.create(RAFList.create(raf, new PairEntry.Serializer(this), raf.getFilePointer()), CACHE_SIZE);
  textEntries = CachingList.create(RAFList.create(raf, new TextEntry.Serializer(this), raf.getFilePointer()), CACHE_SIZE);
  if (dictFileVersion >= 5) {
    htmlEntries = CachingList.create(RAFList.create(raf, new HtmlEntry.Serializer(this), raf.getFilePointer()), CACHE_SIZE);
  } else {
    htmlEntries = Collections.emptyList();
  }
  indices = CachingList.createFullyCached(RAFList.create(raf, indexSerializer, raf.getFilePointer()));
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
  final IOException ioe = new IOException("RuntimeException loading dictionary");
  ioe.initCause(e);
  throw ioe;
}
final String end = raf.readUTF();
if (!end.equals(END_OF_DICTIONARY)) {
  throw new IOException("Dictionary seems corrupt: " + end);
}

So, anyway, this is how his java code reads the file in.
Hopefully, this helps you simulate this in C#.
From here you would probably want to see how he is serializing the EntrySource, PairEntry, TextEntry, and HtmlEntry, as well as the indexSerializer.
Next look to see how RAFList.create() works.
Then see how that result is incorporated in creating a CachingList using CachingList.create()
Disclaimer: I'm not sure if the built in serializer in C# uses the same format as Java's, so you may need to simulate that too :)

Sure, Hotpot's about sharing recommendations with friends online. But we thought it'd be fun to take things offline to get to know more about you and the places you love. To kick things off, we're partnering with Portland's beloved Voodoo Doughnut. Because we at Google are such big fans of their tasty treats, we wanted to spread the love — so if you like doughnuts and coffee, be sure to stop by both locations starting this Saturday at 10am for a special treat.
Thanks Google! Portland loves you!
I am looking to pick up a Nexus S next week!
I knew I moved here for a reason.
Portland is a great location to test this out! I hope it's a big success.
Thanks for being so welcoming, everybody!
And Meg -- too cool, I was actually just reading about you on Gizmodo the other week. Thank you for the heads up on your exhibition!
That's definitely great and exciting and feels like a beginning of Internet of Things.
But aren't you Googlers? Why don't you maintain a community and do not offer to follow you on a great and rising Google social network called Buzz?
After all we - Buzz enthusiasts - are among the most avid supporters of Google.
We have a business in portland (Homebrew Exchange). We have a NFC window sticker, and I have a Nexus S phone with the latest updates. The tag doesn't work though.
It reads the tag, then goes to a link in the browser and tells me to download the latest Google Maps app. I already have the latest Maps, and even if I have it running when I scan the tag, the result is the same.
I'm at a loss where to find support for this issue. We have a busy store and would love to participate in testing this stuff out.
Hi AJ -- The sticker is working as it's supposed to, prompting you to download Google Maps. We have plans to change this in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Roethe ist der Familienname folgender Personen:

 Gustav Roethe (1859–1926), deutscher Germanist
 Richard Roethe (1865–1944), deutscher Inspekteur der Fliegertruppen


In Rojava, Syrian Kurdistan, a big social experiment is taking place, based on the principals of direct democracy, horizontalism, equality, solidarity and ecological balance. The Kurds have managed to change their communities to the core, even in a very difficult geopolitical environment fighting ISIS on the one hand and the Turkish state on the other.
A solidarity initiative aims to contribute to the reconstruction of Kobanê and to strengthen the liberation struggle of all cantons of Rojava. The campaign will highlight the political struggle of emancipation of the Kurdish people and contribute financial support to their fight for the survival and self-management of their communities.
We call organizations, collectives and groups to support and participate by e.g. organizing events and actions in their cities and contributing financial aid coupons. The campaign will end with a big co-organized festival in Athens, Greece, in September. See the campaign's website for more information.

researchers rush to start moderna coronavirus vaccine trial without usual animal testing
"As they race to test an experimental coronavirus vaccine, researchers aren't waiting to see how well it prevents infection in animals before trying it in people, breaking from the usual protocol."

Chinese Scientists Find Genetic Explanation For Coronavirus Discriminating By Race
"A study by a Chinese research group has emerged that offers concrete proof of race differences in susceptibility to Corona virus are very real. The authors explain that "2019-nCov was reported to share the same receptor, Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)" as the SARS disease, an outbreak of which in 2003 seemed almost exclusively to kill Northeast Asians. Based on "the public database and the state-of-the-art single-cell RNA-Seq technique" the Chinese scientists "analyzed the ACE2 RNA expression profile in the normal human lungs." Crucially, they further found (in a comparison of eight individual samples) that the "Asian male one has an extremely large number of ACE2-expressing cells in the lung" in comparison to other races."
Key Takeaway: This study has not been peer-reviewed. The thesis is that there are roughly 5 times more ACE2 receptors in the lungs of Asian males than in White of African males. This may explain some of the morbidity statistics that we are seeing.

The Novel Coronavirus, COVID-19, is cutting a broad and deep swath through epidemiological history with uncertain impact on the viability of many families, communities, institutions, economies, and even countries starting with the most heavily populated nation on earth. Many fates are hanging in the balance, not the least of which is that of the communist government that has ruled China since the Maoist Revolution brought it to power in 1949.
The new strain of Coronavirus has added novel genetic features to the same family of pathogens that brought the world the SARS crisis in 2002-3 and, a decade later, the less lethal MERS outbreak. This Novel Coronavirus strain, COVID-19, is showing itself to be much more contagious and lethal than was SARS and MERS.
This is a long read with much information. The is much discussion of the Universities and their personnel involved in the research. There is also much discussion of the official narrative and how that is unhelpful except to save people's face.

"If there's one thing we've learned since the coronavirus outbreak went global in January, it's that a lot can change in 24 hours. Seemingly overnight, the viral hysteria has apparently arrived in the US, alongside the news of the first virus-related death in Washington State.
Hoarding has already begun. President Trump has issued "do not travel" warnings affecting 'hot zones' in Italy and South Korea. In Italy, the Level 4 State Department advisory affects the hardest-hit provinces of Lombardy and Veneto, where 'community transmission' has already been confirmed.
In South Korea, it affects the city of Daegu. In Europe, France and Switzerland have banned large gatherings over 5,000, and canceled all sporting events.

"While mainstream scientists continue to perform mental gymnastics to insist that the new coronavirus wasn't man-made, new research from scientists in China and Europe reveal that the disease happens to have an 'HIV-like mutation' which allows it to bind with human cells up to 1,000 times stronger than the Sars virus, according to SCMP."
"Recall that at the end of January, a team of Indian scientists wrote in a now-retracted, scandalous paper claiming that the coronavirus may have been genetically engineered to incorporate parts of the HIV genome, writing "This uncanny similarity of novel inserts in the 2019- nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature," meaning - it was unlikely to have occurred naturally."

EMC Unveils Content Enabled Solutions Strategy at Momentum Monaco 2007
More than 1,500 Customers, Partners Scheduled to Participate in Industr' Most Comprehensive Gathering of the Enterprise Content and Information Management Industry
Monte Carlo, Monaco - November 06, 2007 -
EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today welcomed more than 1,500 customers and partners to participate in the most comprehensive gathering of the enterprise content and information management industry – Momentum Monaco 2007.
As a centerpiece of the show, EMC today unveiled its content-enabled solutions strategy, built on nearly two decades of commitment to providing the market's premier enterprise content management (ECM) solutions spanning multiple industries and government sectors. The strategy leverages EMC's worldwide partner community as a foundation, building on vertical industry offerings designed on top of EMC's content management infrastructure.
Momentum 2007 showcases more than 140 breakout sessions, executive presentations, and customer roundtables and provides customers an opportunity to view content-enabled solutions demonstrated by EMC and its partners. At the show, EMC will announce the winners of its Documentum® 6 Web Services Developer's Challenge (see separate release), resulting from the company's open challenge to software developers in July to develop creative ECM applications based on the EMC Documentum 6 platform. The challenge demonstrates the ease with which developers, customers, and partners can build solutions on top of the Documentum 6 platform.
Keynoting Momentum 2007 is EMC's newly appointed President of EMC's Content Management and Archiving (CMA) division Mark Lewis, who will focus on his vision for enterprise content management and archiving. EMC Senior Vice President Balaji Yelamanchili and Vice President of Marketing Whitney Tidmarsh will outline the company's recent introduction of Documentum 6 and provide further insight into the company's new content-enabled solutions strategy.
"In today's competitive marketplace, organizations faced with rapidly-changing business and IT environments are forced to do more with less resources -- all while keeping an eye on stricter regulatory and standards requirements," said Mark Lewis, President, Content Management and Archiving Division at EMC. "To alleviate some of these issues, companies often turn to point solutions. However, they quickly realize that assembling disparate technologies proves to be a costly, slow process with sub par results."
He continued, "EMC is looking towards solving that problem with our content-enabled solutions strategy – a strategic approach to Documentum products and services that leverages both EMC and our partners' vast vertical market and process expertise."
Aimed at providing customers with faster time-to-value and shorter deployment cycles, EMC's content-enabled solutions -- based on the award-winning EMC Documentum platform -- enable customers to solve business and operational problems specific to their industry or business function. Customers benefit from EMC's vertical and process knowledge, backed by integrated, end-to-end solutions and a wide ranging partner support network.
Taking the power of the flexible Documentum platform further, EMC Documentum Solution Frameworks™ are a key piece of this new strategy. These reusable frameworks speed the development and deployment of key vertical and horizontal business applications and include the functionality, integration, process templates, object models and Web services components required to address these business applications. Each Solution Framework also includes a reference architecture describing how to build on top of the Documentum ECM platform. Currently, EMC plans to roll-out targeted Solution Frameworks for several vertical and horizontal business functions over the next year to partners, developers and customers.
"We are very proud to be a trusted leading provider of Designed for EMC accredited business applications and purpose built solutions that our clients rely on to run core business functions," said Mara Henderson, president of Imagitek, an Altran Company Headquartered in Europe. "Partnered with EMC, we have delivered the Prodagio Business Suite of applications to accelerate return on investment and strategic value in the areas of Finance, Legal, Procurement and Case Management."
"At Corporate Express, many of our project teams are highly dispersed and can include multiple participants across multiple continents," said Bill Morey, Director of Records Management at Corporate Express. "For these project teams to be effective, they require a means to collaborate easily and effectively regardless of location. Working with EMC, we found a solution that enables our teams to collaborate and share content in a Web-based environment - enabling intellectual knowledge and business processes to be captured in a centralized, easily navigated location."
EMC's solutions strategy is supported by the company's world-class partner ecosystem, including more than 500 partners and 80 certified partner applications and integrations through the "Designed for EMC Documentum" program. The program helps ISVs, OEM partners, VSPs and systems integrators target, design, develop and bring to market successful offerings based on EMC platforms. Partner solutions with "Designed for EMC" accreditation are certified to have successfully met a comprehensive set of criteria and high standards for solid architecture, design, development, configuration, installation, implementation, integration and quality. Customers value the "Designed for EMC" label on solutions, as it ensures faster deployment, enhanced compatibility, and simpler migration of solutions, thus leading to lower total cost of ownership and quicker time-to-value.
Documentum content-enabled solutions are a key piece of EMC's broader industry and horizontal solution focus, which also includes image capture and storage solutions built by partners upon EMC® Documentum® ApplicationXtender® for the mid-market, and e-mail management and archiving solutions built on top of EMC® EmailXtender®.

    $this->setDecorators(
                array(
                    'FormElements',
                    array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'table', 'class' => 'promotable')),
                    'Form'
        ));

So i need to put begindate and enddate in the same tr, how can i do it?

A: Use subform for it
   $subform = new Zend_Form_SubForm();
    $subform->addElement($text1)
            ->addElement($text2)
            ->setDecorators('FormElements',array('HtmlTag',array('tag'=>'tr')));

    $form->addSubForm($subform,'my');

Q: what is the status of this problem? an equivalent formulation? R. Guy, Unsolved problems in number theory, 3rd edition, Springer, 2004.
In this book, on page 167-168, Problem C5, Sums determining members of a set, discusses a question Leo Moser asked: suppose $X\subset\mathbb{Z}$ is an $n$-element set and $A$ be set of all $k$-element sums of subsets of $X$. Is there any other $Y\neq X$ such that $Y\subset\mathbb{Z}$ such that its $k$-element sums are exactly $A$?
Only small cases were known: $k=2,3,4,5$ and any $n$.

Question. What is the general status of this problem for $k>5$? Max Alekseyev provided some references.
Update. I'm still interested in the question: are there (non-cosmetic) equivalent formulations of the above problem?

A: In a recent paper A set of 12 numbers is not determined by its set of 4-sums (in Russian), Isomurodov and Kokhas identify an error in the argument of Ewell (1968) and present two distinct sets of 12 integers with the same multiset of 4-sums.
They also give a nice overview of the area and provide useful references. For the general case $(n,k)$, they mention the following results:

*

*Selfridge and Straus (1958) describe a union of Diophantine equations such that for $(n,k)$ not satisfying any of the equations (a typical situation), the set $X$ is unique. For $(n,k)$ satisfying at least one of the equations, the uniqueness of $X$ remains an open question (the case $(12,4)$ was such).

*Fraenkel, Gordon, and Straus (1962) prove that for each $k$, there exists only a finite number of values of $n$, for which $X$ may be not unique.

-- The Black Student Union at Kansas State University is demanding that police file charges against a black man who painted his own car with racist graffiti and then filed a false police report.
-- The Riley County Police Department elected not to charge Dauntarius Williams with filing a false report, saying it would "not be in the best interests of the citizens."
On November 1, the Riley County Police Department reported that the vehicle was defaced with racist graffiti and a threat, and KSU student Andrew Hammond tweeted a photo of the damage.
The incident quickly prompted the Kansas State University to increase security on campus and the FBI opened up a civil rights investigation, but the investigation concluded after Williams admitted that he was responsible for the graffiti and apologized for his actions.
The police decided not to charge him with filing a false report, saying it would "not be in the best interests of the citizens" who reside in the local community.
"For his part, Williams was genuinely remorseful and expressed sincere regret that his actions had resulted in the negative media attention that resulted," the Riley County Police said in a press release, noting that Williams has had "a series of conversations" with Riley County Police Department Director Brad Schoen and Riley County Attorney Barry Wilkerson.
The Black Student Union at KSU, however, is not so willing to let Williams off the hook, calling for criminal charges against him in a statement posted on Facebook.
After noting that the incident "does not negate the current racist and discriminatory actions that continue to occur on our campus and in our community, state, and nation," the group went on to vow that "no matter who wrote the despicable and hateful speech, we, the K-State Black Student Union, will never stand for hate or threatening speech.
"We urge the Riley County Police Department to strongly reconsider pressing charges against Mr. Williams," the BSU reiterated.

Various anti-abortion groups in Russia launched a petition Tuesday calling for a total ban on abortion.
The petition seeks the recognition of the beginning of life upon conception and the legal protection of the embryo. Thus, it calls for a ban not just on surgical abortion but also on the use of abortifacient contraceptives and assisted reproductive technologies.
It has obtained the support of about 300,000 people. Sergey Chesnokov, head of the movement 'For Life' that pushed for the appeal, said they are targeting 1 million signatures so they can present it to Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin, AFP reported.
The petition was signed by Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church, leading to reports that the church is taking a stronger position against abortion, as it previously campaigned to ban abortions only for cases that are not medically recommended.
However, the patriarch's signing of the petition is not an endorsement of complete abortion ban, clarified Alexander Volkov, head of the patriarch's press team. He said the patriarch signed the petition to draw attention to the church's appeal to remove abortion from the mandatory medical insurance.
"This appeal is not about prohibition, but an appeal on the withdrawal of abortion from the MMI system (mandatory medical insurance)," Volkov said.
Vladimir Legoida, chairman of the Synodal Information Department of the Russian Orthodox Church, echoed Volkov's statement, saying the patriarch's signing of the petition does not mean the church has a new position regarding abortion.
"The attitude towards abortions of representatives of all the traditional religions in Russia, and not just Orthodox Christians is very well known. It is a strict and unambiguous attitude," Legoida said.
Generally, priests have a negative attitude toward abortion, so when the patriarch signed the appeal, it was simply "an expression of his priestly and civic support," he explained.
Legoida reiterated the church wants to remove abortion from compulsory medical insurance because, by being part of the system, abortion is being perceived as the norm in Russia.
"We believe that the first step towards eliminating a phenomenon like abortion should be excluding abortions from the system of Compulsory Medical Insurance. This is our official position," he said, adding that those who do not approve of the procedure should not pay for it "out of their own money."
Russia is the first state in the world to legalize abortion, decriminalizing it in 1920. The abortion ban was imposed again during Stalin's regime. However, it failed to stop illegal abortions, and lawmakers legalized abortion again in 1955, according to The Moscow Times.
The public has accepted abortion as a social practice in the country, where it is used as a contraceptive option. Russia has the second highest abortion rate in the world next to China. Last year, official figures showed 930,000 abortions were performed.

Q: $\frac{c}{1+c}\leq\frac{a}{1+a}+\frac{b}{1+b}$ for $0\leq c\leq a+b$ When proving that if $d$ is a metric, then $d'(x,y)=\dfrac{d(x,y)}{1+d(x,y)}$ is also a metric, I have to prove the inequality:
$$\dfrac{c}{1+c}\leq\frac{a}{1+a}+\frac{b}{1+b}$$ for $0\leq c\leq a+b$. This is obvious by expanding, but is there a nicer way to see why it is true?

A: $$\frac{a}{1+a}+\frac{b}{1+b}\ge\frac{a}{1+a+b}+\frac{b}{1+b+a}=\frac{a+b}{1+a+b}=\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{a+b}}\ge\frac{1}{1+\frac1c}=\frac{c}{1+c}$$

A: $\displaystyle\frac{d(x,z)}{1+d(x,z)}-\frac{d(x,y)}{1+d(x,y)}=\frac{(d(x,z)-d(x,y))}{(1+(d(x,z))(1+d(x,y))}$
We havefrom $\Delta $ inequality,
$(1+(d(x,z))(1+d(x,y))\ge1+d(x,z)+d(x,y)\ge 1+d(y,z)\tag 1$
And we have from $\Delta $ inequality $d(x,z)-d(x,y)\le d(y,z)\tag 2$
And as $1+d(y,z)\ne 0$ we have $\displaystyle\frac{1}{1+d(y,z)}\ge \frac{1}{(1+d(x,z))(1+d(x,y))}$ from $(1)$
Multiplying $(2) $ and $(1)$ we have
$$\frac{d(x,z)}{1+d(x,z)}-\frac{d(x,y)}{1+d(x,y)}=\frac{(d(x,z)-d(x,y))}{(1+(d(x,z))(1+d(x,y))}\le \frac{d(y,z)}{1+d(y,z)}$$
$$\Rightarrow \frac{d(x,z)}{1+d(x,z)}-\frac{d(x,y)}{1+d(x,y)}\le \frac{d(y,z)}{1+d(y,z)}$$
$$\Rightarrow \frac{d(x,z)}{1+d(x,z)}\le \frac{d(x,y)}{1+d(x,y)}+ \frac{d(y,z)}{1+d(y,z)}$$

Q: Redirect robot.api.logger calls to file as messages are invisible due to XML-RPC In one of my projects we are using Robot Framework with custom keyword libraries in a complex test environment using assorted ECUs and PCs. One keyword library must be controlled by a python remote server via XML-RPC, as it has to be on a different PC.
Now, all important messages from robot.api.logger calls, like logger.debug() oder logger.console() are swallowed due to the XML-RPC. This is a known issue, which also clearly stated in the docs.

For most parts these APIs work exactly like when using with Robot
Framework normally. There main limitation is that logging using
robot.api.logger or Python's logging module is currently not
supported.

It is possible to write a thin wrapper or decorator for robot.api.logger, so that all debug messages are redirected to a simple txt file, like:
DEBUG HH:MM:SS > Message
WARN  HH:MM:SS > Message

This would be really helpful in case of problems.
Of course, it would be easy to use the built python logging module, but
I'm looking to find a solution, that changes the least amout of already existing code and I also want that the results are written to the text file additional to normal robot.api.logging to the Robot reports, as we are using the same library in a local and a remote way.
So basically I need to find a way to extend/redirected robot.api.logger calls, by first using the normal python logging module and then using the normal robot.api.logger.

A: You can patch the write function of the robot.api.logger so it will write to a log file as well. This patching could be triggered by a library argument.
This would require you to only modify the constructor of your library.
RemoteLib.py
import sys

from robot.api import logger
from robot.output import librarylogger

from robotremoteserver import RobotRemoteServer

def write(msg, level='INFO', html=False):
    librarylogger.write(msg, level, html)
    with open('log.txt', 'a') as f:
        print(f'{level}\tHH:MM:SS > {msg}', file=f)

class RemoteLib():
    ROBOT_LIBRARY_SCOPE = 'GLOBAL'
    ROBOT_LIBRARY_VERSION = 0.1

    def __init__(self, to_file=True):
        if to_file:
            logger.write = write

    def log_something(self, msg):
        logger.info(msg)
        logger.debug(msg)
        logger.warn(msg)
        logger.trace(msg)
        logger.error(msg)
        logger.console(msg)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    RobotRemoteServer(RemoteLib(), *sys.argv[1:])

local_run.robot
*** Settings ***
Library    RemoteLib    to_file=False

*** Test Cases ***
Test
    Log Something    something

remote_run.robot
*** Settings ***
Library       Remote    http://127.0.0.1:8270

*** Test Cases ***
Test
    Log Something    something

You could use the Python logging module as well in the write patch just as it is used in Robot Framework itself, Redirects the robot.api.logger to python logging if robot is not running.

Q: Understanding a bound in numerical optimization I'm reading through the deepest descent method, and I'm struggling to understand a specific bound. I'll try to be as much clear as I can, but the notation used is a bit messy.
It is basically explained what the deepest descent is, as a generalization of the Gauss-Seidel method. It is also said that it's NOT a good algorithm, but it is worth keep looking into its properties. You can assume we have to solve the problem
$$
\min_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} f(x)
$$
where $f(x) : \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$.
Theorem 2.11. in this book states the following

the (i) and (iii) are the followings:

Where $q(t)$ is defined as $f(x_k + td_k)$, so it's a parametric version of the next iteration, and for given direction we wish to find the best "step". The theorem is proved, and it make sense, however after such proof (that basically converges to a minima, or it keeps going further down) it is stated something else about the "convergence speed" and there's specifically the following bound I don't quite understand:

I don't get the bound
$$
f(x) \leq f^* + \frac{1}{2}\text{dist}^2(x,X^*)
$$
can anyone tell me why is that? My guess is probably related to the mean value theorem and lipshitz conditions, but I can't really figure out why that's the bound.

A: A well-known property of convex functions with $L$-Lipschitz continuous gradient is that
$$
0 \leq f(y) - f(x) - \langle \nabla f(x), y-x\rangle \leq \tfrac{L}{2}\|x-y\|^2.
$$
See, for instance [Thm. 2.1.5, 1].
Suppose that $X^*$ is the set of optimizers of $f$ and it is nonempty and closed. Then, in the above inequality simply set $y\leftarrow x$ and $x\leftarrow \Pi_{X^*}x$, where $\Pi_{X^*}$ is the projection on $X^*$.
We obtain:
$$
f(x) - f^* \leq \tfrac{L}{2}\|x-\Pi_{X^*}x\|^2 \leq \tfrac{L}{2}\mathrm{dist}^2(x,X^*).
$$
This is exactly the bound mentioned on page 33 of the book of Bonnans et al.

They battled hurricane conditions, heavy snowfalls and illness, but the six-person Antarctic Heritage Trust Inspiring Explorers' Expedition reached the finish line of their 560-kilometre crossing of the Greenland ice cap almost a month after they set off. They made the journey on skis while pulling 60-kilogram supply sleds behind them.
Antarctic Heritage Trust selected four young explorers for the expedition from a pool of nearly 200 applicants. Two Kiwis; Brando Yelavich (24) and Hollie Woodhouse (33) and two Australians; Bridget Kruger (30) and Keith Parsons (28), were joined by Executive Director Nigel Watson and Ousland Polar Exploration master polar guide Bengt Rotmo.
The team left the west coast of Greenland on May 4 and arrived in the small village of Tasiilaq (on Greenland's east coast) on Saturday, 2 June.
The crossing is the Trust's third Inspiring Explorers' Expedition and proved to be the most challenging yet.
New Zealand outdoors company Kathmandu sponsored the expedition with the team road testing their new XT Series, designed for extreme environments.
In the last 21 hours of the expedition everyone agreed it was awe-inspiring as the east coast of Greenland was in sight.
The team are now delivering outreach programmes supported by the Trust, with the aim of sharing their experiences, and encouraging others to get out and explore.
The Trust would like to acknowledge expedition sponsor Kathmandu and expedition partner Ousland Polar Exploration for helping make the trip possible. Thanks also to Lumix, Rode and GoProNZ for the use of camera gear and equipment.

Dancing with Choirs Sun. 7th Feb'16
On Sunday 7th February 2016 we performed in Wessex Heartbeat's wonderful show Dancing with Choirs at the Portsmouth Guildhall. This was the second time we had appeared in a charity show for Wessex Heartbeat, a fantastic charity whose driving ambition is to help achieve the very best care for people with heart conditions treated in the Wessex Cardiac Centre, Southampton. The more than £13 million they've raised since the Charity was set up in 1992 has put in place crucial extra improvements in the Wessex Cardiac Centre, that wouldn't otherwise have happened. These include major projects to create Heartbeat House, the children's Ocean Ward and the Heartbeat Education Centre, as well as regular funding of leading-edge equipment, clinical education and research.
The lovely actress, Sarah Parish was compare for the evening. Sarah and her husband Jim Murray run The Murray Parish Trust, a charity who supports the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at Southampton General Hospital.
Spinnaker Chorus were one of six choirs to perform on the night. It was a special and emotional evening for our lovely MD Jenny Savory, as this was the last performance she would direct. Jenny is standing down after 5 years to return to being a singing Spinnakerette. We sang six songs in total and were joined on stage by various dance groups who added their interpretations to our singing. We debuted our latest song 'Skyfall', and were accompanied by the amazing Parkewood School of Dance, who added their magic and excitement to this James Bond theme tune.
Special guests for the evening were Paddy and Nico of Britain's Got Talent fame. At their audition for the BGT show judge Amanda Holden used her Golden Buzzer which sent the pair straight to the semi final. Paddy currently holds the Guinness World Record for the oldest acrobatic Salsa dancer.
With a full stage of performers and rousing rendition of Celebrate Good Times as a finale the evening ended. Exhausted and exhilarated from a wonderful experience we took our tired selves home to our very welcoming beds.
