I popped over to Borough market the other day. It was typical British weather. Miserable weeping skies and wind to blow it straight in your face. Being a glasses wearer I was effectively blind. Thank goodness Borough market is under cover. I took refuge there.
I never get tired of Borough market, the range of quality artisan food is unrivalled in London. I could happily spend a small fortune there and do a shop for the week. Two things stop me. I am not Bill Gates, and fresh food really deserves immediate attention. I tend to buy for that day or maybe a weekend as a treat. If I lived closer, I would be considerably poorer. It's lovely to go down once in a while and shop in the vibrant buzz of the market rather than pushing a trolley down a soul-less aisle.
I picked up (amongst other things), some fat Toulouse sausages from The Ginger Pig, a fantastic butcher whose animals come from their own farms. I wanted to make a quick lunch that used the sausages and pretty much only store cupboard ingredients. Taking my inspiration from cassoulet (and baked beans) this is what I came up with.
A prefect winter lunch or supper. Serve with some crusty white bread to soak up the juices. It would be nice to add a little chopped parsley stirred in. I didn't have any, so I didn't use any.

Nephew of former Venezuelan major leaguers signed with the Guardians
Home » Sports » Nephew of former Venezuelan major leaguers signed with the Guardians
Post category:Sports
The Venezuelan prospect Victor Izturis, nephew of César and Maicer, agreed with the Cleveland Guardians during the day of international firms from MLB in this January from 2022.
This January 15, 2022, the international signing period in the MLB was moved and the new Cleveland Guardians signed the Venezuelan prospect Victor Izturis, who plays as a catcher and comes from a completely baseball family, since his uncles, César and Maicer, they played for more than a decade in the best baseball in the world and were benchmarks for this country.
¿Bono?
Izturis, a native of Barquisimeto, Lara state. He is 16 years old, in the ranking of international prospects he was ranked #40, he signed a contract with Cleveland for an amount of $1.2 million dollars.
Hit: 55
Power: 50
Run: 50
Arm: 50
Field: 55
Victor Izturis, who grew up at his uncle's academy, shows solid focus at the plate and superior instincts in the batter's box. Particularly noteworthy is his knowledge of the barrel and his recognition of the pitches he can make in the strike zone. He's a contact hitter with some pop.
On defense, he shows soft hands and develops arm strength with the possibility of being an above-average general receiver in the future. Just a bit taller than his big-league uncles at the same age, Victor might as well be a bit stronger. It has a more compact body than the other Izturises, but it has one thing in common: it has the opportunity to star in a premium position.

Home Tools & Resources Blog November 2015 International Conference in Lviv, Ukraine "Industrial safety. The best practices – 2015"
Back to latest posts
International Conference in Lviv, Ukraine "Industrial safety. The best practices – 2015"
As part of EU-OSHA's collaboration with Ukraine under its European Neighbourhood Policy project, we were invited to participate in the 3rd International Conference "Industrial safety: Best Practices - 2015" held in Lviv on 6-8 October 2015 and hosted by the Industrial Safety Magazine and supported by the State Labour Service of Ukraine.
The conference brought together representatives from social partners, government and industry to discuss current and future issues in the field of occupational safety and health. Participants came from across Ukraine and were joined by EU and international experts. EU-OSHA was invited to provide some information on our current programmes and, specifically, about tools and information to help businesses and workers. In particular EU-OSHA presented its Online Interactive Risk Assessment tool and e-Tools projects as well as OSHwiki and NAPO.
EU-OSHA was also invited to participate in a panel discussion centred on the question of whether Ukraine needs a risk assessment regulation. Following the signature of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, Ukraine has committed to aligning its legislation in the field of occupational safety and health with the EU Directives and so this question is of particular interest.
Most respondents were in favour of introducing a regulation requiring businesses to conduct risk assessments and recognising the importance of risk assessments to both workers and businesses. Rather than commenting on whether Ukraine should introduce such a regulation, EU-OSHA instead provided some positive information about the use of risk assessments in the EU and their value.
We would like to thank our colleagues in Ukraine for inviting EU-OSHA to participate in the conference and we look forward to the next opportunity to work together to improve occupational safety and health in the EU and Ukraine.

3 Reasons Why I Love Religious Life Today
By Sister Belinda Monahan, OSB
The word "diminishment" is frequently used by Catholics to describe the state of religious life today. People often use it to express the decrease of numbers and the increasing median age of many religous communities. The implication is that because we are older or smaller that we are somehow "less" than we were. Fortunately, as a younger member of a religious community, I don't see it as a lessening. I see it as a transformation in how we can be present in the world today.
This is not to say that smaller communities of women religious are not a reality; they are, but they are nothing to fear. In fact, recent reports show that the boom in religious vocations during the 1950s was an anomaly and we are returning to historical levels of women religious. Most of all, I have never seen a smaller community as a drawback, but, indeed found it to be a plus. Here's why:
1) You are known.
When I was looking at religious communities, I visited several different places. One of the things that appealed to me most about my community was the size--the fact that I would not just be a nameless face in the chapel, but that I could know and be known by everyone in the community. I chose not to enter a larger congregation because it was community life that was important to me. For me, a larger number of Sisters would make that more difficult, rather than easier. This knowing and being known means that the community can call me to holiness by stretching me and challenging me because they know me deeply.
Sister Belinda, second from right, stands with some her fellow sisters of different ages.
2) Called to become yourself, not an institution
Some Sisters note that as smaller, older communities, we are no longer able to run the large institutions that religious women used to manage. Again, this does not have to be a negative feature of religious life today, but can be a positive. I entered religious life because it held out the promise of allowing me to become who God called me to be, not because it offered a ministry that I wanted to do. In many ways, it would have been easier for me to pursue a ministry as a single woman. Instead, community calls me to be accountable to the members of the community; to be present to the community at prayers and meals. Single-minded pursuit of ministry--no matter how worthy the goal--can take away from that. Old stories of Sisters falling asleep in chapel or during Lectio Divina because of their heavy workload make me grateful that we no longer attempt to manage large institutions and ignore the work/prayer balance that Benedict instructed us to live.
Sister Mercedes Moore, above, is 100 years old, but does not let her near blindness keep her from crocheting afghans that she generously gives to anyone who might want one.
3) It's not about size or age, it's about presence
I believe that it has always been the Sisters' presence, who they were, how they did what they did, that was the key to religious life. When I read letters from alumnae to Sisters who taught them in years past, they often emphasize the Sisters' generous gifts of time and the care that the Sisters took with their education. We still have those gifts to give the world, undiminished by size and age.

African collections
There are several collections of African art in Slovenia, the most impressive ones, however, are housed in the museums in Ljubljana, Velenje and Slovenj Gradec. They are tightly linked to the collectors themselves, among them catholic missionaries, businessmen, and diplomats from 19th and 20th century.
The Slovene Ethnographic Museum keeps the Egyptian collection, donated in 1843 by Anton Laurin; the Easter Sudan collection, donated in 1850 by Ignacij Knoblehar; the Anton Codelli collection from Togo, Nigeria and Cameroon brought in 1912–1914; the Pygmy collection donated by Paul Schebesta. The Velenje Museum collection was acquired in 1971 from František Foit, Czech academic sculptor who lived two decades in Tanzania and Kenya. The collection in the Koroška Regional Museum, however, was donated in 1977 by Franc Tretjak who spent nearly 20 years in Africa as an economic consultant of the United Nations.
Foit's collection, Velenje Museum
In the context of the EU-funded project SWICH the Slovene Ethnographic Museum conducted an innovative ethnographic research that confronted the legacies of the Slovenian collectors of African art with the experience of today's African Slovenes in the exhibition Africa & Slovenia. A Web of People and Objects.
In 2019–2020 the above museum institutions have prepared a traveling exhibition Africa of the Three Museums that for the first time presented to the public their African collections as an important museological phenomenon. See also the the information on another joint project, the East Asian collections research.

When kicking off a hotel development project and hiring an asset manager in the same time period, there is some strategy to when that hire should occur, and what that manager can help alleviate during the development process.
In the hotel industry, the asset manager is there to preserve and protect ownership rights, mitigate risks and implement strategies to enhance performance and optimize investment returns.
And while the hotel investment community has embraced the importance of this role and the value a qualified asset manager can bring to a project, there is less consensus as to the right time to bring an asset manager on board. For instance, in a new hotel development, bringing an asset manager on board earlier in the process is critical given the decisions needed and close oversight required to ensure a successful opening and operational ramp-up.
The hotel development process can be described in four key phases and the asset manager can be beneficial throughout: The planning phase, the development phase, the pre-opening phase and the post-opening phase.
There are many key decisions to be made for a successful hotel development project, one of which is the selection of an operator and brand. Asset managers, especially those with experience overseeing new hotels ramp-up through stabilization, can offer insight and exceptional benchmarking capabilities to validate projections submitted by operators, as well as often provide feedback on capabilities by group based first-hand experience. Similarly, the decisions surrounding the selection of a brand/operator versus a franchise and third-party operator have a lasting impact on a project, and asset managers can advise on the opportunities and challenges given the owner's investment objectives. Once selected, key agreements need to be negotiated that will govern the future relationship and require careful thought and negotiation.
Asset managers frequently are asked to assist with project team selection, including recommendations for project manager, architect, designers, furniture, fixtures and equipment procurement, among other project consultants. Having the right advisor can assist an owner in finding the right partners for the owner's goals. For many of these choices, there may be dozens of viable options for each position. An asset manager can also help sort through the options and qualify them in a timely fashion. As a hotel program gets defined/refined, an asset manager can assist in key decisions that can impact a project's long-term viability and financing. Prime examples include facility programming such as guestroom configuration, food-and-beverage facilities and concepts and back-of-house layout, all of which have an impact on revenue potential, operating costs and value. Asset managers often find their role as a voice of reason among what may be many divergent interests, and ensuring that the implications of each decision are carefully weighed against overall investment objectives.
While it is often said that the key to success in real estate is location, a close second in the hotel business inarguably is people. Key elements in the pre-opening phase include interviewing key personnel, understanding the staffing chart and how it may fluctuate from year to year and monitoring the staff hiring progression to the construction schedule and targeted opening date. In addition to establishing the operating platform, other key tasks during this phase include ensuring the pre-opening sales plan is put into motion. This may include website set-up, key account introductions, progression to pre-opening group sales targets and establishment of initial rate strategies. A crucial area that continually sees a disconnect, even once budgets are established, is in opening rates. Offering low rates to induce trial at opening is not a strategy that most asset managers will recommend, as lower rates can serve to undermine market positioning and slow the ramp-up considerably.
The first year of operation for a new hotel presents additional challenges and opportunities, as the management team shifts from a "pre-opening" mentality to an "operational ramp-up" mode. Despite budgets and forecasts, the reality of opening will inevitably reveal unexpected operational issues, unique market dynamics and other challenges that will necessitate some level of adjustment in strategy and approach. It also is critical that performance during this period is carefully tracked so trends and challenges can be identified, and adjustments can be made. Examples include inaccuracies in forecasting that result in high labor costs, an F&B outlet that may be performing better (or worse) than expected, or a revenue management strategy that may need tweaking. While this occurs, construction budgets and line items such as operating supplies and equipment need to be reconciled and closed out, and construction punch list items need to be addressed. The asset manager can assist in the transition from the project team to the operations team in a seamless manner, support the operating team in identifying opportunities and hold them to task on required operational adjustments.
With operational intensity, hotels are often said to be the most complex form of commercial real estate, and that's when they're open! Planning a new hotel development can be even more daunting for owners, given the impact of decisions made during the pre-opening period are not realized until after the hotel opens. Surrounding yourself with an asset manager with the right expertise, at the right time, can help mitigate risk and establish a proven path for long-term success.
Larry Trabulsi is a Senior Vice President at CHMWarnick, a leading hotel asset management and business advisory services firm with over 8 offices nationwide. Larry serves as a board member of the Hotel Asset Managers Association (HAMA).


SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce recently criticized unpublished staff guidance that operates as de facto legal precedent without going through a process that ensures transparency and accountability. Referring to the securities regulatory framework as a "compliance minefield" where the wrong move can be a "matter of professional life or death," Ms. Peirce questioned the propriety of informal staff positions about specific products or types of businesses. She characterized sub rosa staff guidance as secret law that binds firms without legislative authority, effective oversight, or consistency.
We agree that unpublished staff guidance can result in industry favoritism and (perceived) unfairness. The next question is how the SEC addresses Ms. Peirce's very legitimate concerns.
Two former employees of a biotech have pleaded guilty to criminal charges of obstructing an SEC investigation. The Justice Department accuses one of the defendants with testifying falsely before the SEC about his manipulative purchases and sales of the OTC-traded biotech. The other employee is accused of providing a back-dated document to the SEC with the intent to obstruct the SEC's investigation. The two defendants face prison sentences of up to 5 years for obstructing an agency proceeding.
Although the SEC only has civil enforcement powers, it can (and will) bring in the Justice Department if you lie to SEC investigators. Better to take your civil medicine (fine or industry bar) than to wind up a guest of the state.
The SEC fined and censured a broker-dealer for failing to produce requested emails as part of an enforcement investigation related to potential money laundering activities. Despite repeated requests, the respondent could not produce emails for a 4-month period relevant to the subject activity. The firm initially represented that it produced all required emails, but ultimately found 40,000 missing emails from 30 employees maintained on a back-up email archive. The SEC noticed that the document production omitted emails from the correspondent firm through which the potential money laundering activity occurred. Rule 17a-4(j) of the Exchange Act requires broker-dealers to promptly furnish to the SEC any required records. The SEC also charged the firm with failing to file Suspicious Activity Reports.
OUR TAKE: Don't tell the SEC that you have complied with their document requests unless you have conducted adequate internal due diligence. The Enforcement staff will not look kindly on reckless or intentional misrepresentations during investigations. Also, lying to the staff can result in criminal penalties.
The CEO of an investment adviser admitted wrongdoing and agreed to pay over $575,000 and an industry bar for paying undisclosed solicitation fees. The CEO also faces criminal charges for misleading SEC enforcement investigators, thereby obstructing proceedings of a federal agency. The respondent admitted to paying a lawyer-friend a referral fee without disclosure to the referred client as required by Rule 206(4)-3 of the Advisers Act. The pair conspired to conceal the payments through sham legal invoices. Upon hearing rumors of securities enforcement, the respondent sent false emails to clients claiming that the SEC had cleared the firm of any wrongdoing. The CEO's firm agreed to pay disgorgement but avoided more damaging penalties because it discovered the conduct, disciplined the CEO, and reported the conduct to the SEC. The lawyer-solicitor was also fined and barred from the industry.
OUR TAKE: Failure to disclose the solicitation payments would have resulted in a disgorgement penalty and enhanced disclosure. Lying to clients and the SEC triggered the criminal prosecution and the increased fines and industry bar.
A private fund manager has pled guilty to obstruction of justice for misstatements made during an SEC administrative hearing. The SEC charges that the respondent misled investors about the use of funds and profitability of fund investments. During the ALJ hearing, the SEC alleges that the respondent lied under oath that he did not control a related company. The SEC asserts that the respondent set the company up in his son's name because of the SEC investigation.
OUR TAKE: SEC investigations and hearings should not be taken lightly. Misstatements can lead to prison time.


Prof Piccart talks to ecancertv at the 2013 IMPAKT meeting in Brussels about her assessment of genetic alterations in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer from the BOLERO-2 trial by next-generation sequencing.
Prof Piccart also discusses the types of genetic alterations, the types of test, the potential for more subtypes of breast cancer, and the clinical implications of genomic and proteomic assessment.
As you know, there has been an important clinical trial run for these patients comparing an aromatase inhibitor with or without an mTOR inhibitor. What has been done, in fact, is a very ambitious translational research programme on tumour samples from patients entered in this important study, performing next generation sequencing on these samples and identifying important mutations in key genes. What will be, of course, of great interest is to link these alterations to the clinical efficacy of the mTOR inhibitor because this treatment, obviously, is going to have a cost and it's going to be important to understand who are the patients really benefitting. Now at this conference, IMPAKT, I presented just the description of the molecular alterations identified; the link between those and clinical outcome will be presented at the ASCO meeting.
What were some of the genetic alterations?
It was really very fascinating to see that close to 50% of the tumour samples showed aberrations in the gene mutation. So we know that this is the most frequently mutated gene but this is a very, very high incidence of mutations. In addition to that we discovered some very intriguing mutations in the ESR1 gene that is coding for the ER receptor. These mutations seem to cluster in the ligand binding domain of the oestrogen receptor and most probably are linked to the development of endocrine resistance. So there was also a suggestion from the study that we did that these mutations are more frequent in metastatic lesions as opposed to the primary tumour. So this appears to be a phenomenon that is happening along the evolution of the tumour. It's an interesting discovery.
Which gene test have you found best for diagnosis?
What I think is that in the last 10-15 years there have been several multi-gene prognostic signatures developed and really I think they are very equivalent, as a matter of fact. They capture proliferation genes and give information on patient prognosis but that seems to be, of course, restricted to the luminal cancers. What is now becoming more evident at this conference is that some of these multi-gene signatures might be better than others in terms of predicting late relapses and that's new information that is certainly interesting because you know that clinical trials are suggesting that luminal breast cancer is a chronic disease and that we should extend the duration of endocrine treatment, we should give more than five years, as a matter of fact probably ten years of adjuvant endocrine therapy but you also know that these treatments are not well tolerated by a substantial group of women. So it's going to be interesting indeed using these tests to identify the group of women with an extremely low risk of late relapses to whom perhaps we will be able to say five years of adjuvant endocrine treatment is good enough for you.
What will the clinical implications be of genomic and proteomic assessments?
The implications of genomic and proteomic assessment of tumours is that they hopefully will bring us closer to personalised oncology. However, a conference like IMPAKT is clearly highlighting the fact that there is still a very long way to go. The more we look, the more complex things appear to be so the theme of the IMPAKT conference this year is about tumour heterogeneity and I must say that this is a little bit overwhelming for a clinician because you have the impression that this heterogeneity is absolutely huge and that it's going to be very hard to identify a way to circumvent it. So we have a lot more to learn and, to me, it's only through massive collaborative efforts that we will be able to become one day smarter than a cancer cell.
How many subtypes do you think there will eventually be?
Each time we look with a new technology we identify more. So I suspect that in a year from now we are going to hear that it's 75-80. I really don't know, I am hoping that somehow although they are many, many different diseases we will still be able to group some of them into a few categories because otherwise it's going to be really hard to develop drugs for cancer patients.

Ampersands are beautiful. I've seen many people with tattoos of them. I've seen lots of designs.
And I had to make one too.
Okay, I made two. (Kind of. They are they same design in different colours).
I also love the Graduate font. It's so pretty. And the ampersand in it is gorgeous.
So, I decided to make a pretty throw pillow with it. And, while I was at it, I decided to make the design available on a bunch of other products too. Which product is your favourite?
I've called it Fancy Ampersand. I think it's a fitting title.
Fancy Ampersand is now available in my RedBubble shop in black on white and white on black.
Which colour is your favourite? What other colours would you like to see?
Love the white ground one !


We have heard so much about well known fashion brands such as David Lawrence, Marcs, Pumpkin Patch, etc closing their business because of the pressures that they face with online pressures. It's harder and harder to compete in an ever changing consumer environment. So what did they do wrong? With all their experience in business, how can we ever consider building our own successful businesses?
It is more important than ever to really understand your business needs and how you can safeguard your investment and your business from financial ruin. Of course there will be hurdles and hiccups along the way but how you deal with these issues will help strengthen your business and build on your company's future prospects.
So let's start at the basics - building strong foundations. It's like raising a kid, you need to build strong roots and infrastructure that support your business to protect you from undiagnosed issues. What this mean is having a strong business concept that keeps you focused on your business and its customers. Every business needs to have clear strategies and measurements in place to ensure that you are not throwing your hard earned money away on programs that are not providing you with the results that you need.
So how is it that marketing can assist?
So the mistake that most businesses make is that they think of marketing as an expense instead of an investment. Marketing activities span from advertising, public relations, promotions and sales. These programs are so important as they help to get the word out about your services, goods and company. Without a marketing program, how can your company get discovered by potential customers and hence, how can your business expect any type of success.
No matter if you are starting your business now or have been operating for many years, getting to know your client is so crucial to building a very solid and results driven marketing and business plan.
Every business is trying to meet a need or solve a problem for their clients. For a customer to part with their hard earned $$, they need to ensure that your business will be best able to solve a problem that they have encountered.
Yes this is the hard part- What solution is your business providing to a client's problem?
For example, a customer has been looking everywhere for a very comfortable and snug fit pair of jeans to wear to work everyday and is willing to spend what it takes to find the perfect jeans that meets his needs.
What demographic do they belong to?
To be able to clearly target your potential customers, you have to build a strong message that resonates with their needs. This message needs to speak directly to your customers so that they feel that you understand their needs and how to solve their problem more than any other competitor or company in the market. This message should be embedded in your vision, your mission statement and in everything that you do. It should define you and your business values.
It will be the basis of your company and its reputation. This will help build your brand name, its reputation and its future prospects.
You now understand your customers, know what needs they have and have defined your marketing message that differentiates you from your competitors. You have now built the crux of your marketing plan and now have to get your message out to potential customers. There is so many different marketing strategies and avenues that will help you to get your message out to your customers but it's important to understand that there is costs involved in all these strategies. This could be a cost relating to time or monetary cost so it is very important to focus on a few marketing strategies that will help to provide you with the best return on your investment. Because we understand the customer well, we can target marketing strategies that will provide us with the maximum impact to our business.
There is so much money that can be spent on marketing strategies. Marketing can take up as much as 30% (sometimes more) of your annual sales so it is very important to understand and keep on top of the results of these marketing strategies. There is so many moving parts with a marketing strategy and defining the success of a program is a very important part of your marketing and business plan. As it can take time for the results of a marketing strategy to become apparent, it is crucial to your business to outline the costs and the period you would like to test the marketing strategy and it period of assessment.
When you are dealing with marketing strategies, they are based on current trends of your potential customers which are always changing. New apps, technologies or lifestyle changes can affect the results of your marketing strategies so there is always a need to consider these as part of your progression. What may have worked for 3 months, may alter or change with a new app or trend which can then mean that your marketing strategy will need to alter to these changes.
Healthy competition is important to a marketplace but as a business owner, monitoring the activities, marketing strategies and pricing of your competitors is part of ensuring that you stay ahead in your business and continue to win customers before your competition does.

Singapore Airshow - 2018
British Government Driving Industrial/Educational Partnerships in Asia-Pacific
Alexis Hammer, the UK Department of International Trade Defence & Security Organisation Regional Director for Pacific and East Asia.
British industrial participation in driving progressive modernisation programmes, partnering in enduring long-term industrial developments and assisting in the technical education and training of military personnel in the Asia Pacific region are key factors that have encouraged UK companies to attend the Singapore Airshow, said Alexis Hammer, director, Americas & Asia Pacific with the UK Government's Defence & Security Organisation (DSO), speaking on the first morning of the event.
"There is a readiness among British companies to enter into regional partnerships," continued Hammer, adding that regional growth had fuelled a drive for mutual development rather than just offset relationships.
"Systems integration with subsystems is a British specialisation and it particularly relevent in an increasingly networked world," he added.
Companies such as BAE Systems and Qinetiq have a long history of not only exporting but building deeper relationships not only in Southeast Asia, but also in the wider region notably Australia.
The widening of the Japanese attitude towards international defence exporting gave rise to a secondee being placed in the Defence Solutions Centre which, among other things, is studying the Japanese defence sector.
He stated that the DSC and other government bodies such as the Defence Growth Partnership were keen to support trade missions into the region, highlighted by the upcoming mission to Indonesia from 12-16 March.

Rainbow under the Milky Way
CSIRO's inaugural participation in the Sydney Mardi Gras Parade
0 24 February, 2019 9:50 PM by Kane Oosty
In a statement released by Andrew Warren from CSIRO:
The stunning image above, which sees six of the 12-metre wide antennas located in remote Western Australia each reflecting a colour of the rainbow against the backdrop of the Milky Way, was created to mark CSIRO's inaugural participation in the Sydney Mardi Gras Parade.
Fifty CSIRO staff will march in the parade on 2 March holding a giant double helix (DNA), celebrating the organisation's commitment to diversity.
CSIRO Chief Executive Dr Larry Marshall said CSIRO was highlighting the importance of diversity not just at the agency but also the critical role it played in science and innovation.
"Diversity is in our DNA, and our LGBTQI+ community is a crucial part of CSIRO's DNA," Dr Marshall said.
"It is only through an inclusive and diverse culture that we can imagine, invent, and innovate solutions to Australia's greatest challenges.
"At the CSIRO we want people to bring their whole selves to work, to create a healthier, happier workplace where people are truly empowered and free to innovate and shape the future."
Insect expert Dr Bryan Lessard (aka Bry the Fly Guy) is among the 50 CSIRO marchers taking part in the colourful parade.
Dr Sarah Pearce, CSIRO
"From naming a bootylicious insect 'Beyonce' to preaching the wonders of flies on the radio and TV, I've had the privilege of doing some pretty fabulous things over the course of my career, and representing CSIRO at Mardi Gras will be right up there," Dr Lessard said.
Dr Sarah Pearce, Deputy Director of CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science (CASS), founded CASS's Diversity Committee in 2014, and is also an ally of the LGBTQI+ community.
"We really value the diversity of our people, and how they bring different perspectives to innovate and shape the future for everyone," Dr Pearce said.
"As a national research facility, ASKAP is used by a diverse group of astronomers from right around the globe."
According to Diversity Council Australia, people who work in an inclusive team are nine times more likely to innovate, and ten times more likely to be highly effective than workers in non-inclusive teams.

Q: How to get outlook email attachment onto a file server? Background:
Every work day I get an e-mail message from a known sender. The sender puts an attachment in the e-mail message. I have to process that attachment with a python script.
Question:
What is the best (automatic) way for me to get the attachment out of Outlook and onto my shell account (or local filesystem) so I can process it with the script, without having to manually open the file every day and save the attachment?

A: I was researching the same thing and I found a script.

*

*You have to open outlook then press Alt + F11

*On the left pane expand Microsoft Outlook Objects

*Double click ThisOutlook Session

*Copy and paste this code:
(Note: At "Const save_path As String = "c:\Temp\"" (replace "c:\Temp\" with the path to your file server. Remember to end path always with "\")
Sub SaveToFolder(MyMail As MailItem)
Dim strID As String
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objAtt As Outlook.Attachment
Dim c As Integer
Dim save_name As String
'Place path to sav to on next line. Note that you must include the
'final backslash
Const save_path As String = "c:\Temp\"

strID = MyMail.EntryID
Set objNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objMail = objNS.GetItemFromID(strID)

If objMail.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
For c = 1 To objMail.Attachments.Count
Set objAtt = objMail.Attachments(c)
save_name = Left(objAtt.FileName, Len(objAtt.FileName) - 5)
save_name = save_name & Format(objMail.ReceivedTime, "_mm-dd-yyyy_hhmm")
save_name = save_name & Right(objAtt.FileName, 5)
objAtt.SaveAsFile save_path & save_name

Next
End If

Set objAtt = Nothing
Set objMail = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
End Sub

*Go to Debug on menu and Compile...

*Close VB screen

*Go to rules and create a rule: when email is received from the person you mentioned in the distribution group, run a script (select script (your script will be listed)). I would add a notification with the rule so you know the rule ran as well rule to move email to a specific folder.

*Close and reopen Outlook.

A: I assume you have an Exchange server that Outlook is talking to.  Is IMAP enabled on the server?  If so, it should be reasonably trivial to write a program that searches the IMAP server for an email from a particular sender received within the last 24 hours and parse out (what I assume to be) a MIME attachment.

A: Advanced ETL processor can automatically reply to emails, save attachments and process emails based on various rules

Zeferino with Paolo Caimi cinematographer
1 July, 2021 2 November, 2016 by Zeferinolights
We started in November presenting another of our collaborations for this year 2016! This time with the great cinematographer Paolo Caimi.
He is recognized as one of the most distinguished cinematographers working in the commercial genre today. He credits the artistic environment in which he was raised and the high value placed on painting and other visual arts, for the artistic sensibility so evident in his cinematographic style. His distinctive use of light and shadow to set a mood has a painterly quality.
Paolo began his career in fashion and still photography later moving on to film and music…
In this case the commercial was for the Maserati brand the production company was by Filmmaster and service company Mendips. The director was the Federico Brugia.
Federico Brugia, filmmaker at Filmmaster Productions, is one of the world's most famous Italian directors.
Brugia was born in Milan in 1967. Having studied at the Drama, Art and Music studies program in at Bologna University. Brugia joined the studio in 1986 where he cultivated his early professional experience in the direction of audio/visual. Work ranging from fashion to music. From 1991 to today, he has been behind the camera for music videos and advertsand. Has won numerous awards in Italy and abroad. In particular, his advert for BMW (3 series) brought the Brugia name to the international advertising scene. And numerous productions in Italy and beyond soon followed. A few of his adverts have become part of the permanent collection at the audiovisual documentation centre of the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid. Brugia's most important projects include the films made for Damiani, Audi and Dolce & Gabbana. Filmmaster Productions has exclusive representation for Federico Brugia around the globe.
Filming took place on location in Gerona and Valencia. Zeferino once again brought the best light!
And remember Zeferino Professional Lighting is an I+D light rental house in Barcelona, Spain!

I recently did some shots this morning with a model 333 Elphel high defintion network camera.
here are some still grabs from the video, please note, i am not using a correct c-mount lens, as i dont have it yet, but i used a 35mm lens with a wide angle 28mm focal length and just threw a black shirt over the setup. 28mm at 35 film isnt 28mm at 1/2 cmos sensor. so it still gives a telephoto shot. and please note i am out of focus slighty.
the model 333 can do 1280x1024 at 30fps, 2048x1536@12fps, and higher frame rates can be acheived by scaling resolution further, such as 800x600 or something. you specify exposure time, fps, and everything with the cameras main control window.
the model 333 costs $800 for the board with the front 3Mpixel sensor. exactly what i have. Andrey Filippov of Elphel was kind enough to let me do these tests and post progress on creating a high definition cinema camera. let me know what you think about the quality of these shots. please note that the jpeg compression quality was set at 70% when i recorded, it can be set all the way to 99%. which in the case no artifacts should ever be seen. but even at 70% you wont see much at all. unless you really anylize it.
I still think it looks good, but it's hard to see the resolution on these shots. I've talked to Andrey Filippov about a 12V version of the camera, so I can use batteries if I want. I'm still about to order the camera, but was too busy this week.
Good to hear. So, are you saying that he is planning on doing a Digital Cinema camera, or just you? Would be good to see, if it had direct to disk USB/Ethernet, and on camera controls interface (no computer needed) and Ibis5a, I would think it would be almost exactly what we need.
Have you tried to find out max Ethernet data rates (min compression ratio), and about the Ogg codec? In the end, the quality of these things is what will deliver the best picture from the micron sensor.
Thanks for the input guys! here, i finally got my c-mount zoom lens and it is awesome! i did some tests. and here they are!
This is my friend Eric, this is right after i opened up my lens from the packaging and started using it.
This is my sister and mother. they were very lazy today, it was rainy and cold.
please note, all these were shot at true 24 fps, and at a 1/48th shutter speed. all these were handheld shots, and get a perfect still is quite hard. Thanks!!! and remember these are actually from the .avi video. try to imagine these shots in motion. thanks!
Could you please post a short (a few seconds) of video shot at best possible compression settings, highest possible rez, with 48th sec shutter speed, 24fps? Something with movement in the frame?
Thanks. That will really allow us to see what the possibilities are.
The problems I've had with the "build your own HD cine camera" idea is that all of them (the affordable ones, at least) seem to not shoot 24fps with 48th sec shutter speed (global shutter) at full rez. The shutter speed has to be far shorter. Haven't checked yet but I'm assuming the elphel is a rolling shutter camera as well (?).
Alright here it is, it might freeze take a while for the inital load, but be patient. remember to select orignal size for full frame, or wide for a scaled version so it all fits.
Wayne, right now, im just working on building the cinema camera, and putting everything together. but i would like Andrey to view the idea and see where he wants to take it.
My 12V camera is ready to ship, but I don't know when I receive it, because I live in Europe.
Forrest, what are the specs of your computer? Do you use a PC or a laptop?
Thanks for putting up the video file. It is a help, and good job showing human motion.
You said the file is not original quality. If you can upload even just the first second of the original file without the additional compression (the part where you jump) somewhere that allows it to be downloaded, I can analyze it much better. There did seem to be a lot of noise or compression in the full-size image. I'm hoping that came from the additional compression.
Sigh. I'm never satisfied. lol. I do appreciate very much the info provided by you so far. Looking forward to learning more about this camera and seeing how clean it can be at it's best.
Thanks again and please carry on.
Oscar, im using a PC right now, and its a 1.5 Ghz Pentium 4 processer. Its Windows XP, and with 384 MB of RAM. so i really need to make it faster. but it can still record files from the camera.
I've saw the file too - thanks for sharing!
it is M-JPEG compressed and there is some artefacts (interlaced lines) because of the codec, while the source video is progressive.
You better use DIVX,XVID or "windows media 9" (WMV9) at max quality - the encoded file would be without these lines and smaller in the same time.
If you don't have these codecs (or don't want to mess up your system ) , try to setup your M-JPEG codec to encode in "non-interlaced" mode.
I have to say it, but I wonder if the MS Origami mini tablet PC would be suitable for acquisition. This year's models are power hungry (but battery life isn't that bad compared to handy cams of the past) but by the end of the year/next year that could change for better (lower powered processor). There are also all the car pc's, and boards, we explored to the Digital Cinema threads, they are ultra small, about the size of a CD-ROM drive I think. And then, if you go to the www.Via.com.tw website and look up partner products (many categories) you will find Web Tablet like PC's and other things based on Linux (so maybe the software can be compiled on it). You can find a lot of manufacturers of embedded PC/Main boards and miniature PC's there that also carry Intel products.
Just something you might be interested in after you find out if it works.
Just of interest, what is the lowest compression you can use and pixel format, at 1920*1080 and at 1280*720 window, 5:1, 2:1 etc? I have given up downloading clips, I only have dial up, and had to pay over 5 times the regular Internet bill last month. The length of mpeg divided by time/fps should give some idea.

(Astoria, Oregon) – Just what is it that haunts the north Oregon coast landmark of Fort Stevens and Battery Russell?
If the tales are to be believed – and they come from numerous sources – the spirit of an army man wanders the north Oregon coast, showing up in some fairly disparate places. Mostly, the tales of the otherworldly infantryman come from this massive state park, filled with some impressive history. But some tales have the military geist popping up even in Seaside.
Fort Stevens has been around since around the Civil War, when Battery Russell and other ramparts were built, and then almost 100 years later revived to help guard the Columbia River from possible invasion during World War 2.
One tale that seems to be growing on the north Oregon coast, with eyewitness accounts, is that of the uniformed army man that walks the area. One couple told Oregon Coast Beach Connection that he notoriously haunts Fort Stevens State Park, and is seen simply walking around the park, the campgrounds, and often at the concrete battery. Some say you can hear him treading the gravel outside your tent in the camping area – as one group claimed to have encountered.
The tales of this spectral military man walking around the Warrenton/Fort Stevens area are full of accounts of encounters where this silent figure simply disappears.
Another man told Oregon Coast Beach Connection about how he was walking along Seaside's Promenade one night when he saw an army man in a uniform that looked like it was from the 40's. They nodded to each other, and when the man turned around to look at the curious outfit, the army man was gone.
The man said he even darted into a couple of nearby hotel lobbies to see if the army man had gone inside, but the uniformed ghost was not to be seen.
Other legends center around the old guardhouse, which is in the midst of what is now a residential neighborhood. Some say plenty of spirit orbs have been photographed there, while others claim sightings of someone actually pacing the yard around the now-museum.
Either way, this place looks especially creepy at night, whatever still hangs out here – or doesn't.


I ordered this Peri drape sleeveless jacket from Jeanswest in the Cyber Monday sale. I've never been been a big fan of vests, as I usually layer when I'm cold and so want my arms covered. Lots of bloggers love them though.
I saw this in the sale and figured the colour and style were nice. Since I love my kimonos in summer, decided to get this vest/sleeveless jacket and give it a try for warm weather layering. I'm glad I did! Although I've worn it in two very similar ways here, with monochrome shorts outfits, you could wear it with a lot of other outfits and I've got lots more ideas for ways to wear this pink vest.
Last time I wore this tank and shorts together I shared how much I loved the combination and wanted to wear it again. Added the vest to make it a little different, and again I really liked my outfit. Was a lovely first wearing of this vest. Blue and pink are so nice together. Probably should have ironed the vest before I wore it, but was too eager to wear it. With two boys under 3, ironing is always low down the priority list!
We went down the coast to spend the day with my sister and I got to snap a quick OOTD pic on her balcony. Last time I had planned to do that I ran out of sunlight, so I was happy to get a photo there at last. This was the perfect outfit for a little travel and then spending time with my sister. We went to the new Pacific Fair where I returned the rest of my Jeanswest Cyber Monday order that I wasn't keeping and had lunch.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, navy tank, printed shorts, Rebecca Minkoff gladiator sandals, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere. First time I've worn the vest as it's a recent purchase.
Other ways to wear: navy tank and cosy layers, printed shorts and metallic tank, studded gladiator sandals and chambray dress, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere and a maix skirt.
A mix of lightweight warm weather pieces, as some cosier shearling/faux fur pieces for those enjoying winter at the moment. All under $50!
Since I liked the monochrome tank and shorts with pink vest outfit combo above, I wore it similarly the next time. Hit a few Style Challenges on Instagram with this outfit, which again I really liked. Pink is a great colour to wear with grey. The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was the necklace - my selection is limited at the moment as I like to wear necklaces baby boy can grab and chew on, and this was the best of a couple I tried. I do like the extra colour it brought to the black and grey though. Had a busy morning with baby boy's weekly weigh then some time with my mum in the afternoon.
It's been over 2 and a half years since I last wore this grey tank! Definitely a good reason to continue with my 6 months without shopping challenge. I'm hoping I just mislabeled it in my archives and so can't find a more recent time I've worn it.
I'm petite so worried the vest would be too long on me and swamp me a little, but it's a nice length, even with shorts. During my wardrobe detox, the personal stylist advised pastels aren't the best on me. This is a slightly deeper dusty pink that I think works nicely.
Glad I bought this - it was a bargain, something I'd never tried before and something I still have lots of outfit combinations I want to try with it. It's nice to have something other than a kimono to layer with in warmer weather too.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), pink vest (above), grey tank, OneTeaspoon shorts, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC.
Other ways to wear: grey tank and printed skirt, OneTeaspoon shorts and printed kimono, studded sandals and a maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC and skinny jeans.

I love the 2 ways u styled it. I own one in the same color and love it. Glad you captured this shots at your sisters, they are lovely.
I really love how this waterfall vest looks on you! The color is so pretty too!
The vest is so cute! I can see how it would be effortless to throw on and it adds just the right amount of interest!
I cant remember the last time I ironed anything, that is the least priority. And I love layering, probably because I am always cold, but the pink is not my color.
Very cute! I love a sleeveless vest!
Love how you styled the vest both ways. What a Lucky bargain.
I love that dusty pink shade - it's very flattering on most people. I also struggle with vests, but I like the look. Go, colour!
I love it! Pink anything is prefect in my book!
That is such a nice piece to add a little layer in the summer!
Cute outfits & love the colors!
That vest does look like the perfect layering piece! I'm wishing it were warm enough for me to wear something sleeveless, LOL.
Like Anne, I too can't remember when was the last time I ironed anything because these days I only buy clothes that don't need ironing. I honestly don't own any vest, I guess I don't see the need for it. I usually go for cardigans.
Even though the weather definitely permits vests, they're not my favorite because whenever I get cold, it's always my arms so I prefer sleeves. Love the way this looks though, especially the pink and grey combo!
I think the last thing I ironed, or tried to .. was a silk scarf and I was terrified through the entire process.
I have a hard time wearing vests, glad this worked for you!
haha I'd be scared too! I end up putting silk under a towel and 'ironing' it that way!
I adore both the looks, you look so cute my dear. perfect pink jacket!
Super cute vest. I want to try the waterfall vest but just need to find one that will drape the way I want haha! Sometimes I'm so picky. This looks so great on you and I love the pink shade you have!
i love the way you styled both outfits!!
You pull off drapey cardigans/vests flawlessly! I'm quite petite myself and I'm always weary of such drapey pieces because I'm afraid it would overwhelm my frame, but you've been inspiring me lately to embrace them!
Love both looks, as per usual!
I just love this outfit. It's so happy, and bright, and sunshiny-- kind of like what I suspect your personality is. I love all these calm happy colors dappled together like this.
I purchased two sleeveless vests last year, one in grey and one in black and I love to pair them with everything and they look amazing on top of dresses :) Love the colour of this one, so perfect for spring!
Love how you styled this cute vest. The color is so pretty! As always, love your bags. I think you need to do a bag collection post!
I am addicted to pink and gray palettes lately, too. Pink is here to stay!
You look super cute! I love that pretty bag!
This jacket is so versatile, doll- love it!
This is such a lovely vest, I love the color and how it looks paired with both outfits. I also love the sandals you wore in both looks. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
That's a great lightweight layering piece for summer! It's so pretty paired with the blue printed shorts!
Love the pink waterfall cardi. The color and drape are lovely , and I love that it is sleeveless and can be layered!
The vest is so lovely. It's such a nice color. And the elephant necklace is so cute!
Totally agree about the sleeveless vest trend! Like, I'm cold 98% of the time, so what good is an extra layer without sleeves?? haha I'm glad it's working out for you though! That blush color is stunning!
haah yes I'm so glad I'm not alone in this! Ideal for warm weather, but I'm not going to wear it on a cold day!
This is really cute. I also bought a sleeveless vest late last season after being dubious about it at first. Mine is a more blazery style but I love the more relaxed waterfall style, I think I'd prefer it to the one I have! Must keep an eye out.
I do like the blazer style but I figured this relaxed one was better given my casual wardrobe 99% of the time.
Oh! I love the mix of this pink and navy as well as the pink and silver with the bag, so pretty a combination!
Thank you all for your comments - nice to see so many people with the same thoughts on vests, and of course agree that ironing is the worst, ha!

Data Breach Report: 18.5 Million Californians' Personal Data At Risk
By Christine Kern, contributing writer
Report demonstrates the majority of health data breaches in California were due to stolen hardware.
According to a press release, Attorney General Kamala D. Harris has released the second annual report detailing the 167 data breaches reported to the Attorney General's office in 2013. The report reveals the 167 breaches placed the personal data of an estimated 18.5 million Californians at risk. As part of the report, the Attorney General also released a number of recommendations on breach prevention and data protection in the future.
"Data breaches pose a serious threat to the privacy, finances and personal security of California consumers," Harris said in the statement. "The fight against these kind of cybercrimes requires the use of innovative strategies by government and the private sector to protect our state's consumers and businesses. I strongly encourage more use of encryption to significantly reduce the risk of data breaches."
The report recommends healthcare providers should use strong encryption to protect medical information on laptops and on other portable devices, and consider encryption for desktop computers.
In 2013, reported data breaches rose over 28 percent, from 131 in 2012, while the number of affected Californians jumped by over 600 percent, from 2.5 million in 2012 to 18.5 million last year. The largest portion of this spike was a result of the massive retailer breaches at Target and LivingSocial, each of which put the personal information of approximately 7.5 million Californians at risk.
Significantly, however, 53 percent of the breaches reported in 2013 were the result of computer intrusions, including malware and hacking attacks. The rest of the breaches were the result of physical loss of theft of devices that contained unencrypted personal information (26 percent); unintentional errors (18 percent); and intentional misuse (4 percent).
As Health IT Outcomes reported, incidents like the recent hack of email at UC Davis serve to underscore the continued important of vigilance when it comes to protecting the integrity of patient data. And they make a solid case for utilizing encrypted data, even in email communications between providers.
Nearly 39 million people have had their PHI compromised in HIPAA privacy and security breaches, involving 500 people or more, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services. Hacking breaches constitute nearly 10 percent, or 3.7 million people, of all HIPAA privacy and security breaches, according to HHS.
Encryption would help combat the vulnerability of patient/consumer information in the case not only of deliberate hacking, but also in the case of loss or theft of devices containing sensitive data.

This individual's Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity is generally highest after an average of 3.5 out of 5 of Sleep Quality over the previous 7 days.
This individual's Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity is generally 10% higher than normal after an average of 3.455 out of 5 Sleep Quality over the previous 7 days. This individual's data suggests with a high degree of confidence (p=0.0017538579335901, 95% CI -77.926 to 79.008) that Sleep Quality has a moderately positive predictive relationship (R=0.54) with Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity. The highest quartile of Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity measurements were observed following an average 3.43 out of 5 Sleep Quality. The lowest quartile of Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity measurements were observed following an average 2.29 /5 Sleep Quality.Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity is generally 6% lower than normal after an average of 2.29 out of 5 of Sleep Quality over the previous 7 days. Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity is generally 10% higher after an average of 3.43 out of 5 of Sleep Quality over the previous 7 days.
The objective of this study is to determine the nature of the relationship (if any) between Sleep Quality and Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity. Additionally, we attempt to determine the Sleep Quality values most likely to produce optimal Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity values.
It was assumed that 0 hours would pass before a change in Sleep Quality would produce an observable change in Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity. It was assumed that Sleep Quality could produce an observable change in Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity for as much as 7 days after the stimulus event.
636 raw Sleep Quality measurements with 312 changes spanning 2521 days from 2012-05-06 to 2019-04-02 were used in this analysis. 37 raw Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity measurements with 33 changes spanning 345 days from 2012-04-15 to 2013-03-26 were used in this analysis.
Consistent findings observed by different persons in different places with different samples strengthens the likelihood of an effect. Furthermore, in accordance with the law of large numbers (LLN), the predictive power and accuracy of these results will continually grow over time. 27 paired data points were used in this analysis. Assuming that the relationship is merely coincidental, as the participant independently modifies their Sleep Quality values, the observed strength of the relationship will decline until it is below the threshold of significance. To it another way, in the case that we do find a spurious correlation, suggesting that banana intake improves mood for instance, one will likely increase their banana intake. Due to the fact that this correlation is spurious, it is unlikely that you will see a continued and persistent corresponding increase in mood. So over time, the spurious correlation will naturally dissipate.
A plausible bio-chemical mechanism between cause and effect is critical. This is where human brains excel. Based on our responses so far, 1 humans feel that there is a plausible mechanism of action and 0 feel that any relationship observed between Sleep Quality and Cognitive Speed Score From Lumosity is coincidental.

Q: Calculate region areas in specific shape I have an image of specimen that has 3 regions of interest as the white areas.  I would like to estimate area of each region of interest.

My segmentation code is
image1 = cv2.imread('/content/1622542016610 copy.jpg')
img_gray1 = cv2.cvtColor(image1, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
ret, thresh1 = cv2.threshold(img_gray1, 120, 250, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh1, cv2.RETR_LIST, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)

image_copy1 = image1.copy()

cv2.drawContours(image_copy1, contours, -1, (0, 255, 0), 2, cv2.LINE_AA)

plt.imshow(image_copy1)
plt.title('LIST')
plt.show()

It could not give a very good segmentation as I expected, especially on the below left and below right.  May I have your suggestions for

*

*How to improve the segmentation quality?

*Suppose I have the acceptable segmentation output, how to extract each region to count the number of pixels

*Is the number of pixels in a region represents the area (in physical measurement)?

The original image is this image.

A: I think this solution needs two steps for the ideal segmentation.
The 1st step is the segmentation of only the Petri dish.
The next step is binarization of the Petri dish area.
2 steps are all binarization with different threshold values.
I think the 1st threshold value might be 40-45.
The 2nd threshold value must be determined using a histogram of the Petri dish area.
The final step is the identification and measuring of white areas.
PS.
Q: Does the number of pixels in a region represent the area (in physical measurement)?
A: Yes. If you know the diameter of this Petri dish, you can calculate the actual area of the white areas.

Q: Differentiating a complex function How would u differentiate this function w.r.t. z -
$$\frac{1}{z-2+3i}$$
U would need to split it and get partial derivatives right? Although im not sure how you'd split it into real and imaginary parts when the z and i are in the denominator?

A: There's only one variable with respect to which you're differentiating, so you don't need partial derivatives.  The basic rules are the same as with real variables:
$$
\frac{d}{dz} \frac{1}{g(z)} = \frac{-g'(z)}{g(z)^2},
$$
so
$$
\frac{d}{dz} \frac{1}{z-2+3i} = \frac{-1}{(z-2+3i)^2}.
$$
Not only are the rules you learned in first-semester calculus the same, but their proofs are the same.  This makes it highly tempting to think that when you do calculus with complex variables, it's all just the same as with real variables.  But the truth of the matter is that you find yourself doing lots of things that have no counterparts at all in real variables.  So how to compute derivatives is not the thing that's new.
Cauchy's integral formula relating integrals to residues at a point is a novel thing not found in real variables.
The fact that every function that's differentiable in a neighborhood of a point can be expanded as a power series about that point is a novel thing differing from what happens with real variables.  One of its consequences is that if $f'$ exists in a neighborhood of a point, then $f^{(n)}$ exists no matter how big the integer $n$ is, since that's how convergent power series behave.  That doesn't happen with real variables.
Another thing that doesn't happen with real variables is that the radius of convergence of a power series is always the distance from the center to the nearest point where the function behaves badly.  With real variables, the radius of convergence is somewhat mysterious; with complex variables there's that simple rule.

Luchadores, Jiu-Jitsu champions and more attend WWE tryout in Chile
WWE's global search for new Superstars has brought talent scouts to South America this week for a three-day tryout in Santiago, Chile.
The tryout, WWE's first to be held in Chile, drew applications from throughout the Americas, and nearly 50 athletes were accepted. Prospects hail from Chile, Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador and Puerto Rico. In addition to both up-and-coming and seasoned luchadores, the camp consists of men and women with backgrounds in Jiu-Jitsu, amateur wrestling, Muay Thai boxing, judo, taekwondo, capoeira, volleyball, football and powerlifting.
"The passion for sports-entertainment and combat sports in Latin America makes this a key region from which to recruit premier athletes who want to pursue the dream of becoming a WWE Superstar," said Paul "Triple H" Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events & Creative, when the tryout was announced in September.
WWE Performance Center Head Coach Matt Bloom is overseeing the camp, alongside coaches Robbie Brookside and Sara Stock. Assisting them are NXT Superstars Adrian Jaoude, Cezar Bononi and Taynara Conti (all of whom were recruited from Brazil), Mexican Superstar Raul Mendoza and NXT referee Eddie Orengo.

Trial / Bosco Ntaganda
September 28, 2015 by Wairagala Wakabi
Ntaganda Judges Admit Expert Witness Testimony Given in Lubanga Trial
Bosco Ntaganda, Summary
expert witness, Ituri, Roberto Garreton, Rule 68(3)
International Criminal Court (ICC) judges who are trying Bosco Ntaganda have accepted into evidence the testimony which expert witness Roberto Garretón—also known as Witness P-0931—gave in the trial of Thomas Lubanga.
Garretón, a former Special Rapporteur for the United Nations Commission for Human Rights on human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), appeared as an expert witness on September 28, 2015, but was only questioned for one hour. The prosecution had asked judges to admit the prior recorded testimony of the former rapporteur from the Lubanga trial.
Ntaganda's lawyers did not oppose the prosecution's suggestion but they opposed the exclusion of one specific excerpt of transcript from the material to be admitted. They also argued that it was necessary for the prosecution to ask Witness P-0931 only general and short questions.
Pursuant to Rule 68(3) of the court's Rules of Procedure and Evidence, judges may allow the introduction of the prior recorded testimony of a witness who is present before the chamber if the individual does not object and if both parties and the chamber have an opportunity to examine the witness.
In handling the prosecution's application, judges noted that Rule 68(3) of the Rules constitutes an exception to the principle of primarily relying on oral testimony before the court. The judges also noted that they needed to take a cautious, case-by-case assessment and consider the impact of any such request on the rights of an accused and the fairness of the proceedings. Furthermore, the judges noted that the introduction of evidence under Rule 68(3) had the potential to significantly enhance the expeditiousness of the proceedings.
After he took the witness stand, the prosecution and defense questioned Garretón for about 30 minutes each. Garretón consented to his prior recorded testimony from the Lubanga trial being admitted as evidence in the Ntaganda case.
Garretón's testimony related to ethnic fighting in the DRC's Ituri district, and other contextual information on the conflict. The war crimes and crimes against humanity which Ntaganda is charged with were allegedly committed in Ituri during 2002 and 2003.
The prosecution has so far called three witnesses in the Ntaganda trial. Witness P-0901, a former member of the militia of the UPC in which Ntaganda was the deputy chief of staff, completed his testimony on September 25.
The next witness will commence his testimony in mid-October.
