NH firm drops bid to buy Fletcher Allen's outpatient dialysis clinic
The Vermont Department of Banking, Insurance, Securities & Health Care Administration (BISHCA) today announced that Bio-Medical Applications of New Hampshire has withdrawn its application to purchase Fletcher Allen Health Care's outpatient dialysis clinics. Bio-Medical Applications, a for-profit company, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of a German corporation.The withdrawal of the application for a Certificate of Need approving the sale follows the release by BISHCA of a proposed Statement of Decision denying approval on the grounds that the sale would result in lower quality services at higher cost without any improvement in access to care. 'Bio-Medical's decision to withdraw closes the docket in this matter,' said Clifford Peterson, BISHCA's General Counsel. 'The Department will work with Fletcher Allen to assure continued delivery of high quality outpatient dialysis treatment to Vermonters.' BISHCA 12.19.2011 read more

Dodgers get no relief in St. Louis, lose 3-1 in Game 3 of NLDS
That, as much as any ball or strike called Monday, is terrible.Left-hander Scott Elbert allowed a two-run home run to Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong in the seventh inning, snapping a 1-1 tie. Hyun-Jin Ryu had masterfully guided the game to that point, pitching six innings in his first start of the series. He had pitched only one inning the previous month. After the game, Ryu said through his interpreter that he could have gone back out for the seventh inning."He was in complete control of the game for six strong innings," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said.Mattingly instead gave the ball to Elbert, who had pitched just 4 1/3 major-league innings during the regular season."Scotty's a lefty that gives us an angle," Mattingly said. "We haven't had a lot of success with their lefties. We wanted to give them a different look."Left-handed hitter Matt Carpenter hit the tying home run in Game 2, a two-run blast against Dodgers lefty J.P. Howell. Carpenter went 2 for 4 with another home run Monday, the only run allowed by Ryu. Carpenter is batting .500 in the series with three home runs.After Wong's home run cleared the bases in the seventh inning, the Dodgers called on Brandon League to close out the inning. He did, but only because his leg got in the way of a hard-hit Matt Holliday grounder with runners on second and third. League recovered and threw Holliday out at first base.In the eighth inning, the Cardinals loaded the bases on a double by Yadier Molina off right-hander Brian Wilson, an intentional walk, and a single by Jon Jay against Howell.Wong hit a hard grounder back to the mound that Howell somehow backhanded with his glove, then threw to home plate to touch off a 1-2-3 double play to end the inning.The Dodgers nearly came back in the ninth inning.After Kemp struck out, Hanley Ramirez and Carl Crawford each hit singles against Rosenthal. That brought up Juan Uribe as the potential go-ahead run.Rosenthal got Uribe and Ellis to fly out to end the game. Now it's up to Kershaw to save the season, then Zack Greinke on Thursday if the Dodgers can force a winner-take-all Game 5. Kershaw will be pitching on three days' rest. The way their bullpen has performed so far in the series, the Dodgers might need him to pitch eight or nine innings to extend their season."We've just got to win a ballgame (today)," Ellis said. "See if we can get it back to Dodger Stadium and play in front of our great fans there. Fortunately for us, it's a quick turnaround. We've got our best competitor taking the mound. "We're going to play for our season. That's where we're at right now." Kemp didn't waste his."I've never reacted this way when it comes to the strike zone," he said. "This was by far the worst I've ever seen."Kemp thought that Scott should face discipline for his strike zone. He wasn't alone."We had a lot of guys complaining about the strike zone," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "We felt like he was really generous and that puts you in a bind, you keep getting pitches, changing counts. You can't go too far with it, but really generous."Whoever it was that ultimately took away the Dodgers' bats — pitchers John Lackey, Pat Neshek and Rosenthal, or the umpire — he managed to neutralize their greatest asset to combat a Dodgers bullpen that's allowed six runs in the first three games of the series. Newsroom GuidelinesNews TipsContact UsReport an Error ST. LOUIS >> Surrounded by reporters, Matt Kemp didn't want to repeat what he said to home plate umpire Dale Scott at the end of Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Monday. He didn't have to."Terrible. Terrible strike zone. I've never seen anything like it," Kemp said following the Dodgers' 3-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. "It's supposed to be against a team and not an umpire. The umpire took the bat out of our hands tonight."Kemp had just watched two 98-mph fastballs from Cardinals pitcher Trevor Rosenthal off the outside corner, nearly in the same location. The first was called a ball. The second was strike three. Had Kemp been ejected for arguing, none of the 47,574 spectators — a Busch Stadium record — would have been surprised. For the Dodgers, maybe it was better that Kemp spoke his piece. Within 24 hours, they would be playing to keep their season alive with Clayton Kershaw on the mound. There was no time to dwell on their 2-1 deficit in the best-of-five series. read more

Toyota Gazoo Racing enjoys successful opening week at Dakar 2022
By Partnered Content Jan 9, 2022
The 2022 Dakar Rally has reached its mid-point after six competitive stages, with the Rest Day bivouac set near the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh. For Toyota Gazoo Racing, the opening week of this year's rally brought highs and lows, but as it stands, Nasser Al Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel are in the overall lead by 48min 45sec, so the team has every reason to be happy.
Nasser and Mathieu opened their account by winning the short, sharp prologue between Jeddah and Ha'il, giving them the opportunity to choose their starting position for the first stage. They selected the tenth position on the road, and attacked from there. In a stage where many of the top competitors were foiled by tricky navigation, the GR DKR Hilux T1+ crew capitalised and built an early lead. From there, they controlled their pace, driving a measured race, yet winning Stage 4 to further extend their lead.
For Giniel de Villiers and co-driver Dennis Murphy, Dakar 2022 has been a tumultuous affair. Initially, there was doubt about Giniel's participation due to COVID-19, but after testing negative, the South African made his way to Jeddah and joined the team. Their race started strong, but an incident with a biker in Stage 1B of the race saw them penalised by 5min, putting the brakes on their progress.
The incident with the bike was widely reported on social media, though the details of the incident only emerged some time after. Giniel was penalised, but met with the biker in the bivouac, and the pair agreed that there was no ill intent from Giniel, and that incidents such as these are inherently part of the race. Despite the setback, Giniel and Dennis continued to perform at the highest level.
A second incident, in Stage 2, saw Giniel incur a second, harsh penalty of 5 hours, for allegedly running over the motorcycle of a biker who had crashed behind a dune. The Toyota crew managed to avoid injuring the biker by swerving at the last second, and it was later determined that the system designed to warn the crew in such situations was not operational in Giniel and Dennis' car, despite the car passing the mandatory scrutineering before the start of the race.
The penalty sent the crew tumbling down the order, and they had to push themselves to continue racing for good stage times. Their perseverance paid off, when the penalty was reversed after an investigation, which meant that the pair were classified in 4th place at the mid-point, just 1min 31sec behind third place, and 3min 2sec behind second.
For Henk Lategan and Brett Cummings, the first week of the 2022 Dakar Rally brought both immeasurable highs and lows. The pair performed well in the prologue, posting the 4th-fastest time. They started Stage 1B at a good pace, but a disaster after changing a wheel mid-stage saw the wheel studs sheer off their Toyota Hilux, leaving them to affect running repairs that cost them 3 hours.
They bounced back in Stage 3, posting the fastest time for more than 200km of the rally's longest stage. The South Africans seemed set to win their first Dakar stage, but a cruel twist of fate saw the right rear wheel hub sheer off their car, forcing them to wait for the assistance truck in the desert. They lost six hours as a result, putting them well out of contention for the race.
Stage 5, however, was a dream stage for Henk and Brett. Despite the driver's door malfunctioning, and suffering two punctures, the crew set the fastest pace on the day, recording their maiden stage victory on the Dakar Rally. This meant that they had to open the road on Stage 6, which again proved tricky, and saw them lose a further 24min to the stage winners. Despite this, the crew remain in good spirits, and will push on to record more competitive stage times in the second week of the rally.
The final Toyota Gazoo Racing pairing of Shameer Variawa and Danie Stassen started their Dakar 2022 campaign with a run of bad luck. There may also have been an element of nerves early on, especially for co-driver Danie, taking part in his first Dakar Rally.
But as is typical of Toyota Gazoo Racing crews, the pair fought on despite their setbacks, and clawed their way back into the Top 20 of the rally by the mid-point. A highlight for them was the final stage leading up to the Rest Day, which saw them post the best time of all Toyota Gazoo Racing crews. They went 7th-fastest on the day, and moved up to 17th in the overall standings.
Dakar 2022 consists of twelve competitive stages, with the Rest Day coming after the first six of these. The technical crews use the Rest Day to repair any problems with the cars, but also to replace any worn parts as a precaution. The twin turbo-charged 3.5 litre V6 engine from the new GR Sport Land Cruiser is used in production form, and as such has proven highly reliable during the race. With only slight modifications to the cooling system, this engine is identical to that found in the production car, and since the rules do not allow for more power output than that delivered by the standard engine, the team can utilise the highly reliable production engine without placing undue stress on it.
The new GR DKR Hilux T1+ also uses larger tyres of 37 inches, which have proven significantly tougher than the 32-inch tyres used in the past. Not only can the drivers traverse tougher terrain at higher speeds, but they also gained confidence as a result of the bigger tyre's ability to absorb impacts. Overall, the team has suffered significantly fewer punctures than during the 2021 Dakar Rally, and this is reflected in the stage times set by all four crews.
Six stages remain in the 2022 Dakar Rally, with the crews departing from Riyadh on January 9th to start the final trek. First up is Stage 7, from Riyadh to Al Dawadimi – a long stage of over 700km, including a timed section of 402km. The rally is scheduled to finish on January 14th, in the city of Jeddah.

OPENING NIGHT OF BAKKHAI: FREEDOM & CONTROL EXHIBITION!
In Greek myth, the Bakkhai are a group of wild and strange women accompanying Dionysos, god of wine and revelry. In Euripides' tragedy, Dionysos returns to his birthplace of Thebes, bearing a grudge and heralding change. But how much freedom is a good thing for Thebes? How much control should a leader exert?
Including costumes and masks by Sky River, sculpted thyrsoi and animations by Dan Rooney, soundscapes by Rachelle Rechichi and photography by Sarah Mills, Bakkhai: Freedom and Control is an exhibition of work developed for BREC's 2018 stage show, seen here in a gallery context that illustrates the collective creativity of the artists.
As leader of this diverse group of emerging artists, Vahri McKenzie curates the work around two concepts: a shared studio practice that fosters collaboration within improvisational freedom; and as guided by the potent metaphor 'Thebes of the South West', a place of the imagination that reflects both our home in the South West of Western Australia as well as the deep philosophical and cultural history of Western thought and art-making.
Tickets are FREE, registration essential.
Exhibition open for public viewing from 10th - 18th November 10.00am - 3.00pm daily in the ECU Learning Hub (Downstairs at Maker).

Hershey's Spreads Make Salty (and Sweet) More Delicious!
I'm partnering with Hershey's to share the news about Hershey's Spreads.
Remember when I showed you my Hershey's Spreads tasting kit? Well, I pretty much have chocolate on my face at all times now.
I started with tiny spoonfuls followed by giant spoonfuls, and then just dove in face first.
Must devour all the chocolate.
Eventually, I maintained my composure and decided to try pairing Hershey's Spreads with some salty snacks and treats.
I lost track of which flavor I was trying on each snack, so I tried every spread on every snack.
I live a tough life.
To sum it up, chocolate happened on pretzels, pita chips, granola bars, banana chips, mixed nuts, graham crackers and me.
Every creamy, lick-y, dippity-drop of chocolate had me rolling my eyes skyward and dancing in delight.
But then I got extra flippy!
I took a dish of peppermint ice cream, and topped it with a reasonably humongous scoop of chocolate spread.
And next, chocolate with almond.
Hershey's Chocolate Spreads are thicker than regular ice cream toppings, but they stay soft and creamy even though the ice cream is cold. Illegally delicious, I tell ya.
And I've been keepin' my ice cream, face and life chiz-ocolate ever since.
Psssst, look for a Hershey's Spreads giveaway on my blog within the next day or so!
Which one of these delectable Hershey's Spreads flavors will you try first?
A color tablet, a little vinegar and some fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…. I think that will always be my favorite way to decorate Easter eggs. It's simple, it's not all that messy, and it's tried and true.
It's the way the kids and I have done it year after year after year.
They loved to spoon the dye over the top of the eggs and watch the colors intensify, and they tried to come up with new ways to combine the colors.
And I just loved listening to their chatter as they decorated.
Well, there was that one time when we we were tempted by the other kits, the fancy kits, the artsy fartsy museum-quality egg kits.
We tried a kit with a dropper dye method.
And we tried some fancy schmancy marbling methods.
Some traditions just aren't meant to be messed with.
I couldn't resist hopping down the Hershey's Bunny Trail by sharing my family's Easter egg decorating tradition.
Hershey's sent me an Easter basket of goodies to share with my family. The stories and traditions are my own.
I've already done lots of holiday baking this year, but I am nowhere near done. Tomorrow I'll be baking batch after batch of cookies and I can't wait!
I'm making my kids' three favorite cookie recipes, and I'm also going to try the new HERSHEY'S Baking Melts. I saw a bunch of yummy recipes using them at Hershey's Kitchens Cookie Headquarters.
Have you been to Cookie Headquarters yet? There are holiday recipes, videos, tips and a Bake, Share & Win Pinterest competition for a chance to win baking products!
Also, if you have some last minute baking questions, use the hashtag #CookieHQ and tweet to @HersheysKisses where there are baking experts on hand to help!
One lucky reader will win a Hershey's Cookie HQ prize package which includes a Cookie Headquarters apron, Hershey's Kiss cookie cutters, recipe cards and Hershey's baking products.
No compensation was received. All opinions are my own.
It rains, it pours, but it won't stop the S'mores!
That was our motto over Memorial Day weekend when it rained on us. Relentlessly. Every time we thought it was going to stop, it would start back up again.
My big kids were like excited little kids as they roasted their marshmallows!
And all I could hear were mmmm's and yum's as we savored our summertime treats.
And then we made more!
HERSHEY'S chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers in a warm, melty dessert.


Willis Capital Markets & Advisory (WCMA), the catastrophe bond, insurance-linked securities (ILS), M&A and investment banking unit of global insurance and reinsurance broker Willis, has launched a platform to simplify client access to catastrophe bond capacity.
The new catastrophe bond platform is called Resilience Re and has been created to offer Willis' clients efficient and lower cost access to reinsurance capacity sourced from the capital markets and ILS investors.
WCMA says that its clients will benefit from cost efficiencies and quicker time to market to secure cat bond capacity by using the platform. As with other private cat bond platforms, Resilience Re aims to achieve this in part from simplified processes and documentation for qualifying risks.
Willis' platform will provide access to dedicated reinsurance transformers along with standardised reinsurance and securitization processes, according to the broker.
As the ILS market continues to grow and the amount of capital allocated to ILS, cat bond and collateralized reinsurance transactions looks set to increase, Willis is joining other brokers who provide dedicated platforms for efficient cat bond issuance.
Willis said that Resilience Re will offer ILS investors access to additional opportunities through a syndicated deal marketing process. ILS Investors may also benefit from meaningful secondary liquidity in the issues as well, which suggests they will be 144A, or at least in a format that can be transferred between investors over secondary market ILS trading desks.
Willis joins brokers Aon Benfield Securities, JLT Capital Markets and GC Securities, who all have private or efficient cat bond issuance platforms. As more of these platforms for issuance emerge we can expect more of the market's deal-flow to become increasingly efficient and privately transacted.

Jewish tradition has always held the letter and the printed word in high esteem. The work of the scribes was considered sacred. Copying a Torah scroll – or, for that matter, the writing of a single letter in the Torah – in the fulfillment of a divine commandment. The Hebrew scribe was admonished to take painstaking care in plying his trade; any deviation was regarded as detracting from the sacred integrity of the Torah. The apprehension and wariness in copying out the letters of the Torah reflect a reverence for both the Torah, both as the existential core of Judaism, and as a symbol which often took on cosmic dimension.
This symbolism attached to the letters themselves. Different Scriptural interpretations and homilies attribute independent properties to the letters and stressed their role in creation. The Kabbalists even regarded the letters as a tool wielded by the Creator: "For when the Holy One, Blessed be He, resolved to create the world, the letters had not yet been given meaning. For two thousand years before He created the world, He had looked at them and amused Himself with them, and when He decided to create the world, they all appeared before Him, starting with the last."

This account from the Zohar, a major work of Jewish mysticism, goes on to describe how each of the letters appears before the Creator, asking Him to use it as the means of creating the universe. When all is said and done, the second letter, bet, is chosen. The opening word in Genesis is Bereshit, which begins with a bet; the letter bet does, in fact, launch the act of Creation.
The special and symbolic status of the letters in Jewish culture affected their use in art. One passage refers to Bezalel, the first Jewish artist mentioned in the Torah: "Bezalel knew how to join together the letters that had been used to create Heaven and earth."[2] Jewish tradition holds that the shrine which Bezalel the artist was commanded to create was a cosmic symbol. According to the mystical school of thought in Judaism, it represents the microcosm. The view that the elements of the harmonious universe are based on the twenty-two Hebrew letters gained a following among Kabbalists during the Middle Ages. The letters came to be regarded as increasingly symbolic and were often shaped like the signs of the zodiac, the months or parts of the body.
Thus, the symbolism attributed to the Hebrew letters worked its way into Jewish art and influenced the way in which the letters were shaped and embellished, as well as their prominence in the different art forms. Two main styles, Ashkenazi and Sephardi, evolved in the design of the alphabetic characters. These are related to the style of the respective cultures around them and to the writing implement used – the stylus or quill.
The illuminators of the medieval Hebrew manuscripts embellished the letters, sometimes even incorporating animals or botanical motifs within them. The first words in the paragraph were often enlarged and ornamented. The practice of adding elements of flora and fauna to the Hebrew letters was a means of combining the description of God's creatures and the letters which were instrumental in the act of creation. In Jewish art, the combination was manifested in the development of micrographics as well. Micrography involved the use of shapes like cosmic circles, rosettes, lions and, later, human figures in miniature writing, making it possible to strike an organic merger between the words and letters and their meanings, on the one hand, and the shapes and symbols on the other. This type of craftsmanship, which gained ground during the Middle Ages, has survived to the present

Heneral Tuna is a 2021 Philippine animated web miniseries directed by Avid Liongoren under Rocketsheep Studio.

Premise
Heneral Tuna, an alien cat from the Planet Mingming is tasked to invade Earth and accidentally crashlands in Barangay Hiraya in the Philippines. Not wanting to waste time, he starts a reconnaissance mission to observe the locals as part of a preparation for an invasion. He learns about Filipino values and culture in the process.

Characters
Heneral Tuna
Voiced by: Manny Angeles
A devious blue cat-like alien cat who gets stranded in Barangay Hiraya in the Philippines.

Production
Heneral Tuna was produced by Rocketsheep Studio with Avid Liongoren as director and Carlo Vergara as its scriptwriter.

The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) commissioned an animated series for its Filipino Values Program. Prior to Heneral Tuna'''s release, the cultural agency launched a study with the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) in 2019 to determined values held among Filipinos in the country. Among the top 20 values identified in the study which influenced Heneral Tuna's production were " family, faith, resilience, care for environment, honesty, love for country, valuing culture and arts, and good governance". Each of the first seven episode feature a value. There are plans to feature the rest of the 13 values but it would still depend on the reception to the initial release of the series. The values are presented in the "context of the pandemic". Heneral Tuna is the first involvement of the NCCA in animation, having commissioned the live action teleserye Project Destination.

The series revolves around an alien cat who lands in a barangay in the Philippines. Liongoren said that the production team has considered two alternate concepts for a Filipino values-oriented series: a young Jose Rizal who time travels to the future, a robot built by an old scientist who learns how to be human, and a high school of tikbalangs and manananggals who stops eating Filipinos after learning more about them. The adopted concept involving a cat protagonist was inspired from a YouTube video of a cat who thinks about how miserable it was in the company of humans. Liongoren contrasts cats to dogs, noting the common characterization of dog characters as "perpetually happy". He describes cats as more communicative who often indulge in "internal monologues".

According to Vergara, he wrote the cat protagonist with the mindset similar to a "child trying to explore the world" but maintains that the series could be enjoyed by an older audience. He also added that he tends to incorporate comedy in the stories he writes, including Heneral Tuna. The fictional setting of Barangay Hiraya is based on a real life community in Pila, Laguna.

The production of Heneral Tuna began in August 2020 and ended a year later.

ReleaseHeneral Tuna premiered online on October 15, 2021, on the Film Development Council of the Philippines's paid subscription service FDCP Channel as well as in Kumu. The series will have seven episodes with each having a run-time of about three minutes. An episode will be released every week on Fridays. The series was produced in Filipino language with English subtitles.

Year Long Commitment to Tikkun Olam
Social Action calendar was created to allow congregants to choose activities that fit in their schedule.
Community Contact Information:
Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation
www.ihcindy.org
Make social action a flexible "one stop shopping" for the congregants.
Connect social action to other branches of synagogue life.
Involving all age groups in social justice dialogue and hands-on service.
The congregation sought to underscore its commitment to social action by creating a Tikkun Olam calendar, designed to encompass all of the congregation's social justice projects. Prior to the creation of the calendar, social action projects seemed disconnected. The Tikkun Olam calendar offers congregants access to all social action opportunities available.
Members of the social action committee brainstormed to create a list of programs, both hands-on and in advocacy, which could be implemented throughout the course of a year, connecting, when possible, to relevant Jewish holidays. They then contacted local organizations to build affiliations and begin planning events. After making these connections and planning, they designed and printed a calendar with built-in entries for the projects they had organized, and distributed them to congregants.
Project Implementation:
Committee members developed projects and organized congregant participation through reminders in the temple bulletin, phone calls made in the weeks leading up to the programs, and announcements made after services.
Programs in the social action calendar include a High Holy Day food drive, a Passover Chametz drive, a toy drive for a local community center, a Mitzvah Day, and participation in marches, rallies, and charitable walks. Programs have involved interaction with a local Ronald McDonald House, nursing home, or one of the American Cancer Society's Hope Lodges. One project involved members of the brotherhood working at the local nursing home on Christmas Day so that regular staff could spend the holiday with their families.
The variety of programs allowed congregants to connect to social action in a personalized way within their community, as well as to be involved at their own comfort levels and according to their own availability.

Since 2009, Anne Kress has served as the president of Monroe Community College (MCC), a two-year college with two campuses and two centers. MCC is part of the State University of New York and serves more than 30,000 credit and non-credit students each year. Most are in programs leading to university transfer, but the college also plays a significant role in regional workforce training and economic development. As MCC's president, Kress also serves as the co-chair of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's (D-NY) Regional Economic Development Council, on the New York State Department of Health's Workforce Workgroup, and on the New York Federal Reserve Bank's Upstate Advisory Board. Before coming to MCC, Kress served as provost at Santa Fe College in Gainesville, Florida, where she began as an English professor, served as department chair, and held administrative roles with responsibilities including institutional research, distance learning, instructional technology, and marketing.
"My interest in higher education issues has a very personal beginning," Kress said. "The trajectory of my family was changed because my father was able to use his G.I. Bill benefits at a technical school where he completed a short-term drafting certificate. With this credential, he started a career that moved my parents from transitory housing to home ownership and greater stability. I attended college as a first-generation student who bootstrapped scholarships, loans, part-time and full-time jobs, and tuition waivers to complete two bachelor's degrees, a master's, and a doctorate at a public research university. Over this time, I could see and feel how changes in state and federal policy directly impacted my ability to afford college. When I began my community college career, I saw firsthand how the funding and regulation of this sector differed dramatically from that of the research university sector. More significantly, I saw the impact of these differences on community college students: how those who most often came to higher education with the greatest needs were accorded the least attention and resources. My shift from teaching faculty to administrator was largely driven by my desire to do more to advocate for community colleges, our students and their needs."
"Over the past decade, our colleges have been pushed to focus on student success and outcomes with the assumption that the access mission of higher education has been achieved. Yet, increasingly, we see that this assumption is wrong," Kress said. "The way we have thought about access and affordability has not captured the real cost of college for real students. I applied to join the [Higher Education Committee of 50] to help drive changes in policy and advocacy around a more comprehensive understanding of college affordability, one that considered the full cost of college for a changing student demographic: tuition, fees, books, supplies, housing, food, utilities, transportation, child care, time, and more. I also wanted to be part of a group that looked to the future of higher education, not the past. Gone are the days when a bachelor's degree—completed in four years right out of high school—was the single pathway. The future of credentialing is more complex and confusing—with multiple on-ramps and off-ramps that require innovative financial models and modeling. The [Higher Education Committee of 50] has an opportunity to map this new higher education highway and recommend the funding infrastructure that will help a more diverse population of students travel securely to their destinations."

My boyfriend of six months is a staunch Republican. He loves all things Conservative, and is really gung-ho about the coming election. The problem is, I'm a Democrat, and when I bring it up, he laughs and says, "You can't be serious." When I try to tell him why I want to vote left, he gets uppity and storms out of the room, and won't talk to me unless I bend over backwards to apologize. What do I do? The more we watch the news and read the paper, the more I believe in my side, and the more my boyfriend believes in the Republicans. Recently I've become silent about my political feelings, because I know it will cause a fight. But I can't take it anymore. I'm so steamed, but I love him. Do you have any tips or advice for dating your political opposite? I don't want politics to affect my relationship!
It seems these days that politics have made there way into every bedroom in the country -- yours is no exception.
And, while I believe it's a myth that "opposites attract" -- there are even some good arguments to be made backing up the case, like James Carville and Mary. That said, typically, an "oil and water" combo proves to be more than most can handle.
Generally speaking, while it can be exciting and interesting (at first) to add spice to our lives by dating someone whose perceptions and opinions are completely different from our own ... just wait until that initial intrigue and challenge wears off!
What you will be left with is a person who thinks, feels, behaves, and acts, in ways we don't understand, agree with, or consider to be normal. All of a sudden that exciting spice - has turned to conflict, disagreements, or dishonesty in an effort to avoid an argument.
There comes a time in every relationship when you and your significant other disagree on an issue that is very important to one of you. You're lucky that you reached this point at the six months into the relationship mark. It can be extremely painful when this point comes after a year or more, or even after marriage - especially if it is a breaking point.
You're probably scared that he's going to be angry that you don't agree with him, and worse case scenario - a Democrat wins the next presidential election. No wait, just kidding. Worse case scenario, he breaks up with you. Abandonment is a looming issue for many people, especially women. Ultimately, the only way you can overcome it is to face it. In other words, you are going to have to allow that moment to come where you say what you think and let him react whatever way he's going to react.
One way is to joke about it and let it play out that way. Laughingly say, "C'mon, honey. Is your big Republican afraid of a little Democrat?" And play with him that way. Maybe he'll like the challenge and the playfulness and you can take it from there.
Another way to is to pick a fight with him - come out swinging. If he's the type that gets hot debating, this could lead to a passionate time out of bed, and then in. Fighting minus the emotions is really just a lot of energy. Let the energy be sexual.
Or volunteer for the candidate or party of your choice, and let him see you running off to a fund-raiser, looking incredibly hot. Wear a political candidate button - to bed! Leave literature for your candidate lying around, and let him come to you to ask what it's all about.
But in the end, remember, you don't owe anyone an explanation about whom you vote for. That's what makes America great. We have the right to choose. And there are times when it's easiest just not to discuss politics - particularly in cases when you cannot "agree to disagree." If that's your case, perhaps that is also your solution.... Tell your boyfriend you don't want to discuss the election any more, and that you find it upsetting and think that nothing positive can come out of it.
Opposites can be hot. We've conquered many taboos over the last decade. Interracial dating and marriage is now ho hum, when it was once a head turner. Interreligious dating and marriage is also not only not unusual, it is now the norm. Age-ism in dating has been flipped on its old head thanks to stars like Demi, Madanna and Jennifer Lopez who have made female/male age differences in serious relationships a virtual non-issue.
Take a look at my books, Ideas for a Fun Date and Romantic Date Ideas for some fun activities you can do, other than discussing politics!


Intravitreal use of corticosteroid triamcinolone may slow diabetic retinopathy progression.
According to a study published in the Archives of Ophthalmology, "intravitreal use of the corticosteroid triamcinolone may slow the progression of diabetic retinopathy, but adverse effects including cataract formation and glaucoma may prevent use of this treatment merely to reduce progression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy." Two years after treating a "total of 840 eyes from 693 participants with diabetic macular edema" who were randomized "to receive laser therapy (n = 330), 1 mg of triamcinolone acetonide (n = 256), or 4 mg of triamcinolone acetonide (n = 254)," researchers found that "the cumulative probability of progression of retinopathy was 31% in the laser group, 29% in the 1-mg group, and 21% in the 4-mg group."
Birth control pills may treat menstruation-related disorders, reduce risk of some cancers.
A new Practice Bulletin issued by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and appearing in the J. Obstetrics & Gynecology reported that hormonal contraceptives, along with preventing pregnancy may "treat menstruation-related disorders, such as severe menstrual pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. In addition, "combined contraceptives containing both estrogen and progesterone reduce the risk of endometrial, ovarian, and colorectal cancer." Further "potential benefits include prevention of menstrual migraines, treatment of pelvic pain caused by endometriosis and treatment of bleeding because of uterine fibroids.
Extended-release niacin may improve HDL quality in patients with diabetes.
A study published in the journal Circulation, "treatment with extended-release niacin" may improve the "endothelial protective effects" of "HDL cholesterol in individuals with diabetes." In a study population of "10 healthy subjects" and "33 individuals with diabetes and low HDL-cholesterol levels," researchers "randomized the diabetic patients to extended-release niacin (1,500 mg/day) or placebo for three months." The investigators found that "treatment with niacin increased HDL-cholesterol levels, but more important, also improved the endothelial protective effects compared with the HDL from healthy subjects."
Cardiac glycosides said to show promise in fighting colon cancer.
A research study published in the Journal of Natural Products reported that a family of naturally derived heart drugs called cardiac glycosides shows promise in fighting colon cancer. According to the researchers, they found that five cardiac glycosides "tested on laboratory cultures of human colon cancer cells...proved effective, to varying degrees, at killing the cancer cells."
New study seen as having "potentially significant implications" for Merck cholesterol drugs.
A report from the American Heart Association meeting minutes state that , "researchers are expected to present a study with potentially significant implications for multibillion-dollar cholesterol medications" -- Merck's Vytorin (ezetimibe and simvastatin) and Zetia (ezetimibe). Drug industry "analysts are paying rapt attention to the report because two previous studies reduced sales of the drugs after indicating that they may not work any better than cholesterol drugs known as statins that are widely available as inexpensive generics." The "analysts are waiting to see whether the new study reinforces the earlier findings or, perhaps, makes matters even worse for Merck."

L'Escòla Mondina (orthographié à l'origine Escolo Moundino) était une association créée à Toulouse en 1892 par Auguste Fourès et d'autres félibres de la région toulousaine dans le but d'enseigner et promouvoir la langue occitane. L'Escolo Moundino, s'appellerait ainsi en référence à la lengua moundina, la langue populaire de Toulouse, par opposition à celle des clercs, et qui était utilisée par le poète du  siècle Pierre Goudouli.

L'école publiait à partir de janvier 1894 la  revue Tèrra d'òc.

Histoire
L'Escolo Moundino fut créée le 11 mai 1893. Prospèr Estieu et Antonin Perbòsc furent parmi les créateurs et les membres les plus actifs. D'autres membres connus, comme Bernard Sarrieu ou Xavier de Ricard les rejoignirent rapidement. C'est sur la proposition d'un félibre montalbanais  Juli Montmejan que fut adoptée la croix occitane de Toulouse comme emblème de l'école.

Model 3 Launch May Be Delayed by Workers Strike in Germany
April 18, 2017 by Staff Writer
Tesla subsidiary at Tesla Grohmann is gearing up for a possible worker's strike led by German labor union IG Metall, reports the Wall Street Journal. The potential strike comes at a time that could affect the start of production for the upcoming mass-market Model 3, which is slated to commence production later this year.
IG Metall, which also represents other major automotive manufacturers like Volkswagen and General Motors, threatened to organize a strike at Tesla Grohmann Automation over worker's wages. In January earlier this year, Tesla acquired Grohmann, an industrial robotics manufacturer, for $150 million.

— WSJ Business News (@WSJbusiness) April 18, 2017
IG Metall has declined to comment on the situation, though it is said that many of the workers at the Grohmann factory are upset about their wages since the Tesla acquisition. Germany has extremely strict labor laws that protect worker rights and give a significant amount of authority to union interests. Tesla has replied in a statement saying "We continue to work directly with Tesla Grohmann employees and are prepared in the event there is an action initiated by the union."
Production on the Model 3 is still a number of months away, but with Tesla's track record with meeting deadlines, this news is not something that should be taken lightly. It is unknown what sort of backup effect a strike could cause, but with Model 3s preparing to go, let's hope Tesla and IG Metall can come to an agreement!

Second stage in the Western Alps with 4500-m cumulative elevation gain along 3 climbs only, following a flat (though continuously uphill) section. Once in Valle d'Aosta the race takes in the new 3-km Col Tsecore climb with its last stretch at a gradient over 12% and, after a fast-running descent, the route features St. Pantaléon and Cervinia climbs with no respite. Col Tsecore has a "changing" name: from the original Col du Mont-Tseuc, in its Italian version it is called Zuccore as well as Tzecore. The Giro adopts the local signposting denomination that says "Col Tsecore".


DeLAND, Fla. -- Stetson scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to rally for a 7-3 win against No. 22 Miami (Fla,) on Wednesday at Melching Field.
The win is the first for Stetson against the Hurricanes since 1997.
After Miami (10-7) tied the game at 3-3 with a run in the top of the seventh, the Hatters (6-12) sent nine batters to the plate in the bottom of the inning and collected five hits, matching the total they had the previous night in a 6-1 loss to No. 5 NC State.
Patrick Mazeika started the rally with a one-out single. After he moved to second on a wild pitch, the Hurricanes intentionally walked Josh Powers. Garrett Russini pinch-hit for Wade McNabb and lined a 3-1 pitch off the wall in left field for a double, scoring Mazeika for a 4-3 lead.
Darby McCormick pinch hit for Kyle Zech and bounced a double past Miami third baseman Edgar Michelangeli, scoring both Powers and Russini for a 6-3 lead. After a Kyle Pitts single put runners on the corners, Robert Bruce chopped an infield single to score McCormick for a 7-3 advantage.
Stetson has struggled to score runs early in games all season, but Wednesday was a different story. The Hatters loaded the bases with one out in the second, and Jake Pequignot's double scored all three runners as the Hatters took an early 3-0 lead.
Senior left-hander Austin Perez started for the Hatters and turned in his second straight outstanding performance against a nationally-ranked opponent. One week after holding No. 1 South Carolina without a run for six innings, Perez limited Miami to just two runs in the first six frames Wednesday.
Miami scored its first two runs in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Willie Abreu and a run-scoring double by Brad Fieger.
The Hurricanes tied the game in the seventh. Trey Norris (1-0) relieved Perez with two outs and a runner on third and surrendered an RBI single to Fieger.
Overall, Perez went 6.2 innings and scattered 10 hits while striking out four batters and walking two.
Josh Thorne tossed two perfect innings of relief for his first save this season.
Stetson totaled 10 hits, but only Russini (2-2) had more than one.
Four different Hurricanes had two hits each as part of an 11-hit attack.
Daniel Sayles (0-1) took the loss for Miami.

Martin Perez lives. Here's how he rebounded in win vs. Mariners after three straight historically bad starts.
ARLINGTON -- Martin Perez lives.
After opening the season with three consecutive historically bad starts, Perez found his groove Sunday. He worked out of two major jams and gave up only two runs in six innings during a 7-4 win over Seattle at Globe Life Park.
Perez even had a perfect inning for the first time this season.
"Sometimes in a year, there are good things coming," Perez said. "That's what happened."
Perez began play with a 13.14 ERA, the sixth-worst since 1900 through three starts. Manager Jeff Banister insisted Perez was not pitching for his spot, but the Rangers' rotation is about to get over-crowded with Doug Fister's expected return from the disabled list Wednesday.
Another poor start probably would have sparked internal conversation about Perez's future. That subject has been tabled.
"We're always looking to put our best out there," Banister said. "Martin's one of our best. ... He's got some equity with us."
Perez made delivery changes that involved getting his hand out of the glove quicker and getting his hands higher above his head. That produced a more effective sinker and curveball.
The Mariners went 5 for 18 when putting the sinker in play, an improvement for Perez over the 14 for 36 teams had against him in his previous three starts. Perez also got three outs with the curveball, something he had not done this season.
The more significant point is that Perez did not let innings get out of hand as has happened to him before. He retired the side in order only once, in the first. There were chances to lose control.
In the second, the Mariners loaded the bases with none out and did not score. Perez got one out on a curveball and two on the sinker.
The Rangers went ahead 4-0 in the fourth on homers by Nomar Mazara and Joey Gallo. Seattle responded in the fifth by cutting the lead in half and putting a runner at second with none out for the middle of the order.
Perez defused the inning by getting Robinson Cano to ground out on a sinker, Nelson Cruz to line a curveball to second baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Kyle Seager to fly out on a sinker.
"I was aggressive," Perez said. "When you have conviction, that's what happens."
There was something different to those innings.
When Perez got into trouble in the past, Banister or pitching coach Doug Brocail invariably made a mount visit in an attempt to get him back on track. They stayed in the dugout this time, a sign of faith in an embattled pitcher.
"I feel comfortable with how Martin has been coached," Banister said. "There comes a time when these guys are on their own on the field.
"That's the beauty of an experienced player. It wasn't like anything we felt like he was doing incorrectly. Talk about body language. He was still in command. We felt it was a situation that he was in charge of what he needed to do."
Perez said being able to concentrate on the task at hand was helpful.
"That was good," Perez said. "You have to make adjustments by yourself. Back up and think and anticipate what you're going to do. You have to make the pitches."
Perez's lead was in danger in two of the final three innings. Jake Diekman got the Rangers out of the toughest spot by stopping the Mariners after they had come within 5-4 and had the bases loaded with one out in the seventh.
"Don't let anyone score," Diekman said. "That's basically it."
Martin Perez earned the win but appreciated the help.

Q: OpenCV anonymous/guaranteed unique window quite new to OpenCV so please bear with me:
I need to open up a temporary window for user input, but I need to be certain it won't overwrite a previously opened window.
Is there a way to open up either an anonymous window, or somehow create a guaranteed unique window name?
Obviously a long random string would be pretty safe, but that seems like a hack.
P.S. I'm using the python bindings at the moment, but If you want to write a response in c/c++ that's fine, I'm familiar with them.

A: In modules/highgui/src/window_w32.cpp(or in some other file if you are not using windows - look at void cv::namedWindow( const string& winname, int flags ) in ...src/window.cpp) there is a function static CvWindow* icvFindWindowByName( const char* name ) which probably is what you need, but it's internal so authors of OpenCV for some reason didn't want other to use it(or doesn't know someone may need it).
I think that the best option is to use system api to find whether a window with specific name exists.
Eventually use something that is almost impossible to be a window name, for example current time in ms + user name + random number + random string(yeah i know that window name  "234564312cyriel123234123dgbdfbddfgb#$%grw$" is not beautiful).

A: I came up with a possible solution myself:
A few simple wrappers around imshow and namedWindow allow the list of all current window names to be recorded in a global variable.
window_list = []
def new_window(name=None):
    if name == None:
        i=0
        while str(i) in window_list:
            i = i+1
        name = str(i)
    if name not in window_list:
        window_list.append(name)
    cv2.namedWindow(name)        #always create the window, in case it's been manually closed
                                 #does nothing if window is already open
    return name

def img_show(img, name=None):
    name = new_window(name)
    cv2.imshow(name, img)
    return name

A call to img_show without a name provides an incremental default name.
This is vaguely similar behaviour to what one gets in IDL. Obviously this isn't the most robust solution and requires that all code uses these wrappers, but it works for my needs for now.

[ARCHIVED] Ogden City Council appoints Janene Eller-Smith as new Executive Director
The Ogden City Council appointed Janene Eller-Smith as the Council's new Executive Director during the March 21st City Council meeting.
Eller-Smith has worked for Ogden City for more than 21 years, serving in the Council Office for the past eight years as a policy analyst and, more recently, as Deputy Director. She holds a Juris Doctor degree and a Master's in Public Administration from Brigham Young University.
Prior to working for the City, Eller-Smith was in private legal practice. She also served as a prosecuting attorney for Layton City.
"From the time I learned there were actually careers in 'public administration', I knew that was what I wanted to do," Eller-Smith said. "I've loved the work I've been involved in throughout my career, especially with Ogden City and the Council Office. I am looking forward to the challenges that come with this position and to assisting Council members in accomplishing their respective goals."
Eller-Smith is replacing Bill Cook, who served as the Council's Executive Director for more than 15 years. On January 20th, Cook announced his retirement effective February 25th. The Council launched a nation-wide search for his replacement.
The selection process involved interviews with an initial screening committee that consisted of representatives from various local organizations. Finalists were selected and interviewed with the City Council. The Executive Director position was vacated before the selection process could be completed, and the City Council appointed Eller-Smith as Interim Council Executive Director.
"We appreciate the incredible experience Ms. Eller-Smith brings to the table and are eager to work with her in this new capacity," Council Vice Chair Richard Hyer said. "Ms. Eller-Smith's ideas and experience will help the Council better serve our constituents and fulfil our responsibilities."

Had a 3 nights stay at Flower's Boardinghouse in a duplex unit. The location is excellent and is surrounded by a number of chic boutiques and restaurants. The unit itself is clean and quite well maintained but certain areas like the bathroom and sofa are showing its age. Friendly and helpful reception.
Good location apart from beds!
Location, service of staff and breakfast were all good the beds we found were roo hard with matching hard pillows. Also we were fortunate not to lose our key as €200 replacement and didnt have any incense candles at €500 we were fortunate.
Flower's serviced apartments are a great option for staying in Berlin. The location was perfect for walking in to the heart of the city and accessing museum island (~15 mins). The area is safe, with a number of restaurants, cafes and boutique shops around. Our room was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed to save a little money preparing our own meals. We also appreciated the free fresh croissants, coffee and tea available at breakfast. They also did our laundry for a reasonable fee, putting it in our room when it was ready, which was very convenient. The only thing that could have improved our stay would have been air conditioning to help with the unseasonable heat, although the numerous windows allowed a lot of air into the room so it did cool down quickly. I would recommend these rooms if you are looking for a reasonably priced, well located apartment for your stay in Berlin.


Interesting papers, and they're getting there, but they didn't get to the O(1) conversion of hash collision to HMAC collision. Worth referencing though, certainly!
This would seem to have implications when HMAC-MD5 is used as a commitment scheme, no?


My first introduction with The Shaking Sensations was a couple of weeks ago when they played the Dunk! Festival in Zottegem, Belgium. In a line-up with only Post Rock bands they felt well but on the same hand didn't catch the attention. You can play your version of Post Rock excellently but if you do the same as thousands bands did before the lack of an own face will float away the attention.
Listening to Start Stop Worrying it gave me the same kind of feeling as live. Starting with the correct atmosphere in 'Rocket Summer' and slowly building up towards a climax is playing music exactly within the drawing line. Yes a fan of the genre (I am!) will enjoy the perfect balanced songs but also have to agree The Shaking Sensations copy bands like Explosions in the Sky or If This Tree Could Talk. The reverb and effect on the guitars in combination with the rolling drums and in between only the sound of echoing guitars will soon drift away your thought and dreams. This is a good thing; if you are opening your eyes and you'll awake you discover also these songs could've been written by the giants in the genre.
Denmark is the home base of the band and they are directly one of the best in their kind, however the country is small and sure they will be successful there, but outside the country I bet they only attract a small base of fanatics. Also when you listen to 'We ourselves Alone' and 'Anchors' it sounds exactly the same as the first song. The same drum patterns, the same guitar melodies and the same song structure so the trick gets boring after a while.
Halfway, the music is completely at the background serving as tunes while doing other things in house. Start Stop Worrying is objectively executed as it should, the musicians know how to play but it's too perfect and never an adventure ride. Perfect and tedious at the same time. Unfortunately. I hope the next voyage will be without less fear!

Up to 15 years in prison sought for 21 former TRT staff
A prosecutor has drafted an indictment seeking up to 15 years in prison for 21 former state-run Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) staff members due to alleged Gülen links.
The indictment, which was accepted by Ankara 23rd High Criminal Court, is seeking jail sentences of between seven to 15 years for dismissed TRT staff members, accusing them of membership in an armed terrorist organization.
According to the indictment, the staff members used a smart phone application known as ByLock, had accounts at Bank Asya, which was confiscated by the Turkish government due to Gülen links, and met with "leaders" of the Gülen movement, accused by the Turkish government of mounting a botched coup attempt last July.
Turkish authorities believe using ByLock is a sign of being a Gülenist as they see the mobile phone application as the top communication tool among the group.
The military coup attempt on July 15 killed 249 people and wounded more than a thousand others. Immediately after the putsch, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government along with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pinned the blame on the Gülen movement.
The movement denies any involvement.
Turkey's Justice Ministry announced on July 13 that 50,510 people have been arrested and 169,013 have been the subject of legal proceedings on coup charges since the failed coup.

There's a certain pleasure in feeling well-grounded, and this moment would make a firm foundation for whatever you choose to build upon it. If your plans are already made, it's time for the cornerstone to be laid. Go with what you've got, as there's a no-frills feeling that's saying keep it simple, take it slow.
