Milk, bread, sleds: Rush is on at grocery and hardware stores ahead of snow forecast in Upstate SC
Local residents prepare for the best and the worst of winter weather
Caitlin Herrington Kaelyn Cassidy
Greenville News
Though milk and bread remained readily available at most grocery stores around Greenville Thursday, a shopping rush ahead of a winter storm forecast in South Carolina this weekend was expected to intensify Thursday and Friday.
The parking lot at Duncan's Home Center was packed Wednesday afternoon as local residents prepared for the best and worst of winter weather.
"I have sold tons of sleds today, tons of snow shovels," store owner Joe Freeman said. "I normally keep a big supply of all of those... The sleds are what normally goes the fastest."
They were gone by midday Thursday. His store's propane heaters were sold out, too. Only a few electric heaters remained. There was ice-melt in stock.

Ice-melt and show shovels were sold out at the Home Depot in Simpsonville before 2 p.m. Thursday.
And ice-melt and snow shovels were sold out at the Classic Ace Hardware on Woodruff Road by the time the last of the store's sleds went out the door around 1:30 p.m., but heaters were in stock, and the store manager told The Greenville News that shipments of more sleds, ice-melt and shovels were expected to arrive Friday.
Grocery stores, meanwhile, were already battling supply-chain issues. Produce, packaged goods and more, including cream cheese and pet food, have been among affected items.

At least two Publix locations in Greenville were out of toilet paper on Thursday morning and had only a few options for packages of paper towels.
The Food Lion in Kmart Plaza had plenty of bread, but whole-milk lovers had to choose another type.
Ingles CFO Ron Freeman said his stores have been preparing while their customers prepare.
"We have been preparing by sending stores items that have higher demand during bad weather — milk, eggs, bread, etc. — and are trying to get the stores as full as possible in the face of ongoing supply-chain issues," Freeman said.
Representatives of Food Lion, Publix and Harris Teeter did not respond to calls and emails for comment by Thursday afternoon.
Spartanburg's largest grocers had supplies Wednesday of milk and bread, items famed to be in high demand in the South when winter weather approaches.

By Wednesday night at the Publix on Wade Hampton Boulevard in Taylors, options for bread and fresh chicken were limited, but milk remained in stock. A worker at the store said many items are restocked daily and that shopping early provided the best chance for a wider selection.
U.S. groceries typically have 5% to 10% of their items out of stock at any given time, but right now that unavailability rate is hovering around 15%, Consumer Brands Association President and CEO Geoff Freeman told USA TODAY.
Curt Covington, senior director of institutional credit at AgAmerica, told USA TODAY that the trends for specific food shortages are intermittent and varied.
"Shortages depend on the item, store, and region of the country," Covington said. "Shortages can be driven by supply-chain issues, consumer behavior or environmental factors, so it's hard to pinpoint what will be affected next."
More:Here's how much snow and ice Anderson could be getting this wintery weekend
Weather forecasts are affecting local consumers' behavior in the Upstate.
Downtown Greenville residents Dixie Dulin and her 6-year-old daughter, Dottie, were stocking up on essentials Wednesday for a winter-wonderland weekend in the mountains: sleds, s'mores and champagne.
"We're going to go snow-tubing in Cashiers this weekend, so we're excited," Dixie Dulin said. "My husband has looked up the snow the past two days, and I think we're supposed to get 7 inches here and in Cashiers it's up to 16."
The Dulin family planned to make an event of the long weekend's forecast, savoring the first snow for youngest daughter Rosie, who is 6 months old. With a slew of sleds, a tow kit and ice-melt on their packing list, they planned to drive to Cashiers, North Carolina, for a day of sledding with family.
"I'm most excited about the snow and going sledding and making snowmans," Dottie said.
"Hopefully, we can get home from the mountains. That's the great thing about living in Greenville — we're only an hour from the mountains," said Dixie. "We've got a truck; we're from the South. We're not worried about this. We've got a snowman kit. We're ready."

Research ahead of time. The school may ask you to come up with your own lesson plans, so have a list of a few websites that offer English lesson plans, games or worksheets for the grade level you will teach. I made a free account on Education.com to access worksheets and activities for students.
Meet with your teacher before class. When you arrive to Italy, if you have time, meet with the teacher you will be working with before your first class to hear suggestions or topics to focus on.
Translate ahead of time. Write key words and phrases in a notebook beforehand and read from it during class. Write basic phrases like "Hi, class! How was your weekend?" or "Does everyone understand the question?" Having these listed was very helpful when I didn't know the Italian translation offhand. You can also jot down the Italian translations to the words you teach. For example, if you are doing an exercise or worksheet in English, write down all the Italian translations as well to help the students understand. The teacher is a great resource if you need to explain something to the class.
Start class with an English conversation. This gets them excited to speak English and show off their abilities. When I first arrived, the class asked me questions in English. The were extremely curious about Americans and had many questions for me, such as "What is your favorite movie?"; "What city are you from?"; or, the strangely popular "Do you like Eminem?" Also, if there's an event or holiday coming up, you can ask your students about how they celebrated it.
Worksheets! If you have access to a printer and/or a copy machine at your school, prepare worksheets to hand out during class. After the English lesson, the students can complete the worksheet while you walk around answering questions. The worksheets were an easy and efficient way to follow up lessons and reinforce English skills.
Engage the class by having students raise their hands with the answer and come up to the chalkboard to write it. For example, one lesson we did in my class was on objects in a house. We wrote the Italian words for objects like bed, dresser, floor and ceiling, and had students come up to write the corresponding English word.
If you have extra time after your lesson, you can either assign homework for the students to work on or play a fun game like Simon Says in English.
Enjoy your time tutoring abroad!

New FTX CEO Under Fire: BSC Accuses Ray Of Making Misstatements
The Bahamian Securities Commission accuses new FTX CEO Mr. John J. Ray III of making misstatements, which the BSC says in a statement is just an excuse for attention-grabbing rather than cooperating, as a dispute over competing bankruptcy processes intensified when Ray spoke before the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services.
On 12 December morning, only hours after, the CEO of the exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried, was arrested in the Bahamas. House FSC conducted a hearing on the fall of FTX.
SBF made an appearance in a Bahamian court for his trial, although John J. Ray III, FTX's new CEO, was the sole witness at the session. Several aspects of John Ray's testimony stood out throughout the four-hour session, which covered a lot of terrains and left many issues unresolved.
John Ray said that Sam Bankman-Fried and the disturbed crypto exchange Alameda Research were all given free rein. Furthermore, there were no differences between FTX, Alameda Research, and other companies that sought bankruptcy protection last month.
However, Ray also called FTX's current financial situation the worst mess he has seen in his career. He claims that the multi-billion dollar company was conducting its accounting using a small business bookkeeping software (Quickbooks).
New FTX CEO Appears To Make "Advance Questionable Agendas"
According to the BSC's statement:
Mr. John J. Ray III, the representative of the U.S. FTX debtors, which do not appear to be concerned with facts but rather, appears intended only to make headlines and advance questionable agendas.
BSC said that Ray had referred to emails sent and received by and between SBF and Bahamian officials but with redactions. The purpose of the redactions was to give the Commission and SBF's communications a misleading impression.
These omissions are alarming since, as Mr. Ray is aware, SBF admitted in the complete email that he had "not briefed the Securities Commission."
Additionally, the Commission was disturbed by the fact that, intentionally or mistakenly, Ray's filing and communications continually confused the actions of the Bahamas government, the BSC, and Court-appointed liquidators.
Related Reading | Japan To Lift Ban On Foreign Stablecoins In 2023: Report
The filing further noted that the Securities Commission is still investigating the reasons behind FTX's collapse. It will provide all applicable conclusions and recommendations in the proper venue when it is finished.
BSC also asserts that those found guilty of misconduct would be held responsible in line with Bahamian law. Therefore, it has been necessary for the Securities Commission to ask Ray's representatives not to obstruct that inquiry.

Sunday Open Thread
By Vince Grzegorek, on July 1st, 2007
These fans participated in a walkout in Pittsburgh last night to protest the awfulness of the Pirates … or at least that's what everyone else is telling you. I think they're still embarrassed about those red vest jerseys. — Vince

A moment for the passing of NFL Europe, which under another guise brought us the Orlando Thunder. I won't even link to that, out of the harm it may do to your retinas.
Elena G | July 1, 2007 at 9:23 am |
*I* would protest the red vest jersey if I were a Pirates fan. Everey time I see it, I think "Barnum & Bailey".
Jeremiah | July 1, 2007 at 9:57 am |
I wish the protest would have drawn more participants. It is shameful that such a tradition-rich organization is being run so miserly. If a team puts a winning product on the field, it will sell seats.
Stuby | July 1, 2007 at 10:11 am |
I had forgotten that NFL Europe was born out of the WLAF. The Sacramento Surge played on the Sac State campus while I went to school there. Can't remember if that was before or after the Sacramento Gold Miners of the CFL.
Vin Barone | July 1, 2007 at 10:11 am |
Whenever I see those red jerseys I think: " You want fries with that?"
The Ol Goaler | July 1, 2007 at 10:17 am |
Sigh… NFL Europe allowed the league to experiment with different uniforms… most of which were pretty bad.

I'd say if your team hadn't had a winning season since 1992, you would have more pressing issues than some butt-ugly red jerseys. Such as the owners refusing to put money into the club to maybe, at some point, win. I'm now a grad student and I'm too young to remember winning baseball out of my favorite team. Once we get over .500, we can attack the jerseys head-on.

Or you could take the opposite approach. They're not going to win games so they might as well LOOK like a quality team.
Yeah, the Pirates had some of their greatest success wearing these, so I don't think the uniforms are the problem there.
Bill T. | July 1, 2007 at 10:45 am |
I'd protest management's priorities. Instead of putting thought process on how to acquire better players or scouting, they're thinking "Hmmm, How can we incorporate red in our uniforms?"

excuse my choice of words but it has to be said the red pirates jerseys are absolute shit!
i am not a pirates fan (mets fan… yeah we got some bad unis too) but i have friends at pitt i got and visit and i've been too maybe 15 or 20 pirates games soo i feel like they're my team just a little bit too…
any way i hate the red look, i've never liked the vests i mean are you that cheap!? spring for some damn sleeves its not like you spending it on the team right?. but one thing that saves the vests is the font the pittsburgh pirates have the nicest jersey font in the league. ohh and the stadium the stadium is also one of the nicests in the league.

I'm assuming you're not THE Bill Campbell, because he would certainly disagree with your post… as do I, and many other residents who don't use "Philly" unless talking about a region (South Philly for example) and don't need to see a nickname on a uniform. PHILA is a perfectly acceptable abbreviation for Philadelphia, and has historical significance.

Word to Pittsburgh fans: don't schedule a walkout against a team that you will potentially beat. Wait until the Mets or the Padres or someone good comes to town so that you'll be sure to be losing when the walkout occurs. Thanks to a 6-run second for the buccos, the walkout lost all its steam.
Also, the best way to get your message to the owners is to not buy tickets to the game. Hit 'em in the checkbook where it hurts these owners the most.
The picture in this article is interseting. Giorgos Printezis is holding a Spurs hat(team that drafted him) and a Raptors hat(team that acquired him). You dont normally see this.

LOL, of course they do, however South Philly is more an arbitrary designation than a geopolitical subdivision. Maybe if they were a rec team playing in an intra-Phila. league that had representatives from North Philly, Northern Liberties, West Philly, Port Richmond, etc. it might be appropriate.

Some pretty embarrassing uni moments at last night's NIFL (National Indoor Football League) game between the visiting San Bernardino Bucking Bulls and the San Diego Shockwave.
First, this player for San Bernardino is wearing the wrong color helmet. Then you have different font sizes for the last names on the Shockwave jerseys. Number 71 for the Shockwave appears to be wearing a skirt under his jersey. And finally, somebody should really tell #59 to wear a bigger jersey, or at least unroll the one he has on.
Ah, minor league arena football. Shockwave win 56-0, improving to 10-1.

The red vest jersey is a little…too much. This may be taboo here, but I do like the red bill hat. If they had kept to that without the jersey, well if still wouldn't have gone over well, but it wouldn't have been as flamboyant.
I messed up the Shockwave jersey font size link above. Here you go.
Ah, well, we'll always have the Barcelona Dragons!
I don't understand why, after 2002, the team retained the "Dragon" identity. I mean a football team owned by Football Club Barcelona…the branding sells itself. The FCB color scheme is great, and so far as I know, there are no dragons in town.

The point of buying the tickets and then leaving is that not buying tickets doesn't make a difference. Because of profit sharing the Pirates were the third most profitable team in baseball last year, raking in $25.7million. With the fourth worst record. The team has money, and is pocketing it. They're thieves, plain and simple.

#2 was retired for Malik Sealy after he was killed in a car wreck.
I should also add that Sealy was Kevin Garnett's favorite player growing up. Sealy wore #2 withthe Wolves because KG wore #21 for the Wolves because Sealy wore #21 at St. John's, so Sealy couldn't wear his own number, sorta.

I vaguely recall that that Patriots logo re-do from the late 70s or early 80s was painted in one of the end zones and that the team had an applause-type contest between Pat Patriot and the proposed, stupid script "P".

Only the coaches for the Royals are wearing number 22. The players are wearing thier regular numbers. The KC hats have Buck O'Neill and 22 on them, and the 42 is for Jackie Robinson. The unis the Royals are wearing are the ones they wore when Jackie Robinson played for them.

Is anyone watching the Red Sox-Ranger game right now? Julian Tavarez has a large whiteish spot on the right side of his brim which he without fail goes to with his right hand after every pitch.
How are the umpires not noticing this…

I'd be interested to find out if Robinson actually wore #42 with the Monarchs.

It looks like rosin to me, he must have a habit of grabbing his hat there and he's left with an abundance of rosin in that spot, I'm sure it's been noticed, how could it not be? They may have checked it between innings.
An answer to my own question (from mlb.com):
"After his one season in the Negro American League, on the appropriate date of October 23 — he had worn uniform No. 23 as the Monarchs shortstop — Robinson and, though buried by history, teammate pitcher John Wright both were signed into Organized Baseball by Branch Rickey."
I also found this picture, which is a different uni than the Royals are wearing today (the one in the photo could be a road uni) with a clue on the pants that Robinson might not have worn #23 either.
According to Ebbets Field Flannels, The Monarchs wore this jersey at home in 1945, the year Jackie Robinson played for them. I can't find any evidence that the Monarchs ever wore a uniform like the one the Royals are wearing today.
They had one that was similar but in different colors.
Anyone know what the deal is?

Yeah, being a long time Pirates fan, I'm appalled by the state of the franchise. I don't think the walk out will do anything to change things, though.
And I hate the red vest and ANY red in the Pirates uniform. It will always be black and gold for me.
(Oh, and I loved the late 70's unis! LOL)
Jeff Green had to switch to 22 because his old college number, 32, is retired by the Sonics in honor of "Downtown" Fred Brown.
And Oden said his "52" is a combo of numbers from high school (50) and college (20).

I'm guessing the 42 was for Jackie Robinson, a KC Monarch, and that the White Sox were wearing the unis of the Chicago American Giants.
I was watching the game on television, and it seemed like everybody was wearing one of those Monarchs hat. Must have been free hat day.

That came up about…oh, two years ago when he was still a reliever with the Cardinals. He got kicked out of the game (ironically they were playing the Pirates, the original topic of the thread) and threw his hat into the fans. Anyone remember? It's just probably more prevalent with the black under-bill.

Yeah, I remember. Yesterday, on here, there was a discussion because El Duque had some rosin on the back of his hat, and before the game started, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel asked the umpires to investigate it, but they said that his hat was ok, and they handed it back to him.

Ichiro! the uni purist…
— One thing is clear: The preseason rumble that new/old bench coach John McLaren would be the next manager has come true. That means the Mariners are in a better position today to resolve the issue that transcends the seasonal outcome — the re-signing of Ichiro.
The superstar outfielder admitted early differences with Hargrove, but acknowledged no current grudge.
"At the beginning, there were complications between us," he said post-game through an interpreter. "Since then, I've honestly expressed my feelings to him. He listened to them honorably and very gentlemanlike. That's a strong memory I'll have."
He didn't say they were on the same page. In fact, Ichiro recounted an episode in which he asked the skipper to wear a regular game jersey instead of the traditional garb of rotund managers, the pullover warm-up.
"He did, and I was the leadoff batter in the game," Ichiro said. "I hit a home run."
The wardrobe high-function didn't last. Those who enjoy dissecting Ichiro's passion for symbolism and metaphor will have a field day with that one. But it's safe to say that some of the baseball values Ichiro favors were not found in abundance with Hargrove. —

Ichi is SO the man.

i found a really interesting jersey for your ESPN column. though i'll probably end up reposting this tomorrow since it's rather late at night and probably won't be seen much, i wanted to pass this along. I'm not one to be fooled by a fake jersey (i have 66 real ones, i've seen a lot of bad ones), this one intreagues me.
take a look at this nordiques jersey, which the seller claims "1980'S QUEBEC NORDIQUES TEST ISSUE JERSEY
IN THE LATE 80'S THE QUEBEC NORDIQUES TRY TO REFRESH THE JERSEY BUT THEY NEVER HAVE USE THE JERSEY."
now i've seen crap like this before, but this jersey looks REALLY well done to be a fake, especially with the stitching and the CCM tag, and the sleeves are a throwback to the original nords jerseys of the WHA.
now i've been wrong before, but this thing deserves a look to see that if, perhaps, it is indeed a prototype jersey that slipped through the cracks. your thoughts?

The team was NOT owned by FC Barcelona. It was always owned by the NFL. They simply entered into a marketing agreement, which meant that the team was "officially" the FC Barcelona Dragons and they wore the FCB shield on the jerseys.
The Dragons name comes from the legend of St. George, patron saint of Catalonia.

Netflix And NBC Universal Reach Agreement To Stream Popular Shows
NEW YORK and BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ — Netflix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX) and NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution today announced an expanded license agreement through which Netflix members can instantly watch a selection of broadcast series from the NBC television network and – for the first time on Netflix – content from some of NBC Universal's popular cable channels.
The multi-year deal kicks off next week and continues the relationship between Netflix and NBC Universal.
The agreement adds significantly to the growing selection of movies and TV episodes that can bestreamed instantly from Netflix with memberships starting at $8.99 a month. Among the highlights, Netflix members will be able to instantly watch:
Episodes from every season of NBC's signature comedy franchise "Saturday Night Live," including day-after broadcast of the upcoming 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons plus hundreds of episodes from the first 35 years of "SNL."
Every episode from the last season of the multiple Emmy® Award-winning series "30 Rock," "The Office" and "Law & Order: SVU," as well as earlier seasons of those shows renewed for streaming from Netflix under the current deal.
All prior seasons – and eventually next year's final season – of "Friday Night Lights," the small-town drama surrounding high-school football in Dillon, Tex.
All prior seasons of USA Network hits "Psych," the comedy featuring James Roday as a fake psychic who solves crimes with his best friend, Dule Hill; the drama "In Plain Sight," starring Mary McCormack as a U.S. Marshal in New Mexico; as well as all seasons of "Monk," starring Emmy® Award and Golden Globe® Award winner Tony Shalhoub in the title role. Prior seasons of all three shows are available to watch instantly at Netflix for the first time.
More than 75 prior season episodes of Syfy's mainstay "Battlestar Galactica," as well as prior seasons of the network's popular series' "Destination Truth" and "Eureka" – all streaming from Netflix for the first time.
"We are very pleased to continue our successful relationship with Netflix," said Frances Manfredi, executive vice president and general sales manager of cable and non-theatrical sales for NBC Universal Domestic TV Distribution, who forged the deal. "We applaud Netflix for recognizing the value of content like 'SNL,' 'Friday Night Lights,' 'Monk,' and 'Battlestar Galactica' to their subscribers."
"This agreement adds meaningfully to the wide variety of content that can be streamed from Netflix and breaks new ground in our relationship with NBC Universal," said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer for Netflix.

Jeyashri's Kitchen is 6 today. Yes, very happy to share a sweet recipe on this day. It was the same day 6 years ago, i stepped into the blogging world with a Paal payasam recipe. Six years rolled very fast. With all gratitude to the Supreme power, i would like to extend my thanks to my family members who always encourage me in whatever i do and appreciate my endeavors. Thanks to Raks, who always helped me technically during my initial stages of blogging and still clarify my silly doubts too. I am gifted with very good friends and all of them used to encourage me, appreciate me and point out the areas where it needs improvement. Above all, thanks to all my dear readers, with your support, i am sure i will continue to grow heights.
Thanks to all the media people for giving me opportunity for contributing recipes to their esteemed magazines. Special thanks to Vikatan publications for publishing my first cookbook.
On this occasion, presenting you a super delicious sweet Kesar Rabdi. Stay connected with jeyashris kitchen and support me as always. With all your wishes here comes a new recipe from Jeyashri's Kitchen on it 6th blog anniversary.
Rabdi can be served as such as a dessert or can be served with gulab jamun or jalebi.
In a deep and heavy bottomed pan add milk . Bring this to boil and keep the flame low.
Scrap the sides, whenever needed and let this boil for 15 more minutes.
Add the saffron milk to this and mix well. Continue to boil this stirring frequently.
Once the rabdi reaches a thick consistency, switch off the flame. Add the sugar and mix well. Add cardamom powder. I didn't add.
You may feel it is turning watery after adding sugar. But do not worry. It will be perfect once it is cooled down. Do not add sugar while the flame is on. This may curdle the rabdi.
Chop the nuts finely and sprinkle on the rabdi. Mix well.
Rabdi will taste so nice when serve chilled.
Adding fresh cream is optional. I had some cream left over and also since i am travelling wanted to use it up.
You can make it plain without adding saffron to this.
If you wish to add condensed milk you can add so instead of fresh cream too. In that case reduce the sugar. 4 tblsp of condensed can be added.
Superb, congrats and keep it up :) So proud of you!
Congrats Jey. I'm a great follower of your recipes but have never left a comment till today. Wishing you many more years of successful blogging.
Congrats on your milestone. Kesar rabdi looks delicious.
Congratulations on successful completion of six years. Wishing you many more to come in your way. Keep rocking!!
Congrats Jeyashri, You Rock! Keep going....!!
But now couldn't be silent. Hearty wishes for your success , hard work and effort.
Thank you so much for the wishes. Thanks for all your support. All your wishes will make me reach heights.

Cameron 'DJ KC' Childress putting a spin on social media – Alabama NewsCenter
by News June 21, 2020, 5:04 pm 1.7k Views 1 Comment
The entire music game has changed for Cameron "DJ KC" Childress during the COVID-19 crisis.
His last in-person gig was at the Luxe Ultra Lounge in Birmingham on March 17, before entertainment and other venues closed because of the pandemic. Until that time, the 35-year-old DJ made a living by spinning for radio station V94.9 (WATV-FM), as well as at various clubs, weddings and private events.
"I've been booked every weekend for the last nine years," Childress said. "I (typically) had four or more gigs a week, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and some Sunday nights."
Facebook Live and Zoom parties have helped Cameron "DJ KC" Childress stay in contact with music lovers. (contributed)
"I'm no longer able to perform in public, because my gigs require gatherings. With that being limited, it limits my bookings," he said. The quarantining and sheltering in place "haven't taken an emotional toll on me, but financially it sucks. I was used to going out at night, so I've had to adjust my sleeping pattern. … I'm fine, but I'd rather that things be the way they were. DJing was how I survived."
Childress has taken his skills to Facebook and Instagram for virtual performances, but it hasn't been easy.
"It can become annoying when you're DJing on social media," he said. Platform administrators will take the stream down because of music rights, "so it's hard to throw your Cash App handle (a username allowing access to a payment application that enables direct peer-to-peer payment via a mobile device) on your livestream and generate an audience. (The video) goes back up a week later, but by then it's pointless."
Even with the difficulty of virtual performances, Childress still occasionally does them, because he loves the direct communication from viewers.
The format "has allowed me to change the way I DJ," he said. "To actually be able to interact with the public and see their reaction (in comments) while DJing live is great because (the audience) … lets me know they're enjoying the session, so that's great for me. It's more personal on (Facebook) Live because there's two-way communication, and I think that is so dope."
Childress has found work through private bookings for parties on Zoom, a platform for video and audio conferences, chats and webinars.
Along with virtual DJ performances, Cameron Childress is making and selling what he calls "tech furniture." (contributed )
"I've been booked by a few doctors to do Zoom parties," he said. "They're just looking out for me, and they need a break because there's so much going on with the coronavirus. They're away from their families (and) can't go around their kids because they're exposed, so they gather on Zoom and have a little party."
Word of mouth has been a way to get some gigs, Childress said.
"If you're giving a good performance, (virtual attendees) will come up with something to do and use you, too," he said. "I've done a Wine Down Happy Hour and a few virtual birthday parties" via Zoom and social media.
Private events allow Childress to not rely solely on Cash App tips.
"It's not donation-based – (a client) books me, and I charge a fee," he said. "I was booked to do a gig on Cinco de Mayo, and the event planner requested that I do it on Facebook Live. That took care of me."
Virtual gigs have not been enough to replace his usual earnings, but "it's been enough to put some food on the table," Childress said.
Regardless of his ability to earn well from a Facebook Live performance, the Fairfield resident and Fairfield High School grad said he still hops on the ones and twos and DJs just for the love of it.
"Then I'm just performing, like I'm doing a mixtape," he said. "I don't do it for money. I do it to make people feel good. There's a lot going on, so it's an outlet for them and for me."
The veteran DJ is using some of his free time to be creative in other fields. He attended Miles College, where he studied computer information systems, so he builds arcade machines and other tech furniture from scratch.
"I take the concept of regular household furniture and turn it into a tech item," Childress said. "I've built a coffee table that's touch screen, and it plays pinball games and things like that. I made it all; I did the programming and the wood-cutting. I post (on social media), people become intrigued and want to purchase. I'm getting even more orders, so my creations are holding me over."

So, I managed to get in a couple of games of SAGA last night, where the mighty Irish were defending the shores of Eire against the rampaging Anglo-Danish!
In true style, the Irish turned up late, so missed the chance to attack the enemy at their beach head, so instead had to make do with a pitched battle further inland.
Where ultimatly Cu Eion was victorious! Well, more that his 4 Hearthguard with Dane Axes and a whole combo of extra dice were victorious!
This game did not go as much according to plan! The Anglo-Danish were able to roll very, very useful dice, gaining the right abilities at the right time. To be on the recieving end of at least +3 fatigue for each of my units was a real, real pain!
Why yes, that is the entire army fatigued to the point of exhaustion! Which is a real problem in SAGA, and something I was very, very lucky to counteract!
But, the Irish did as Irishmen do, and they killed everyone. In spite of being fatigued, they managed to do the business!
"I thought I had friends... like a unit or something? Guys? Hello...?"
"There they are, get them!"
So, in spite of my massive fatigue, I was able to scrounge another win. So the Irish go 3-0! Must be some luck there. Still liking SAGA, nice and simple, easy and enjoyable to play.
Must get back to painting, plus some more gaming I hope!
Next up? 28mm historicals I hope!
Who was running the Anglo-Danes?
Looks great Chris. Very nice figures and photos.
Andy T was running the Anglo Danes Craig, and they are some darn fine looking models he has made too!
I was pretty stoked to turn up and see these great looking warbands slugging it out.
Saga = awesome. Great post.


I love it! That'll happen when your Dad, brother and husband are all cricketers. Which is why I quite liked the Google Doodle visual pun for the start of the ICC Champions Trophy. Play cricket, as a cricket. FYI my top score so far is 103.
Until I moved to Australia a few months ago, I had no freaking idea what the State of Origin was. After this week I'm well versed on the importance of these rugby league fixtures between Queensland and New South Wales. Big sport games usually offer up a wide playing field of puns, but I was a bit disappointed. I only managed to find this one from gambling company Sportsbet.com.au. Pretty unoriginal, but still worth a mention for the effort.
Meanwhile, back in the UK the QI Elves have been appreciating the genius of the traditional British fish & chip shop. Open a chippy in Blighty and it's a necessity to include a fish-based pun in your business name. 'Thank Cod For Ken' was the one down the road from me in London. Did I only go there because of the name? Yes! Absolutely. Well, that and because it was batter than all the rest.
Egg puns are usually reserved for Easter. Once a year for obvious "egg-cellent" puns is generally enoeuf However, one of the Masterchef Australia tasks this week involved eggs. A gift for the show's social media managers, who didn't hold back on cracking the egg yokes in this post.
For those of you that don't know, Bravissimo is a lingerie/bra shop in the UK. Generally speaking their email subject lines are pretty straight-laced and to the point. So how delighted I was to see them dip their, erm, toes, into a bit of pun fun for their latest newsletter. "Uplifted". From a bra company. Geddit?! Love it. Bravissimo have certainly got my support!
Fancy a pun-t on Pun Friday?
The Internet is a big place! So I'd love it if you commented below, or tweet me @RoseC_Leic with #PunFriday and share the best puns you've spotted in the last seven days with me. I'm always keen for a giggle!

Technical Abstract: The biological control strategy pits one organism against another, ultimately to reduce a pest population to a manageable level. The most important reason for biological control is pest management, and the history of biological control relates directly this. Biological control also is a knowledge-based approach developed also out of curiosity about the biological processes it attempts to harness. Effective use of this strategy requires extensive knowledge about a pest and its biological control agent(s), their interactions, and the benefit of these interactions. There also is a challenge to make it work within the constraints of pest control. Biological control has developed through a seamless progression of events, from the knowledge that organisms feed on others to the concept that this may be beneficial and even practical in pest management. Use of predaceous arthropods in China and Yemen predates formal development of biological control in Western Europe, and the first successful modern application occurred in the 1880s. Since then, support of the concept has grown and now biological control is pursued at institutions worldwide.


Name Changes for Minors (under 18) are filed in Superior Court.
Name change petitions may also be filed and heard in Superior Court by victims of domestic violence wherein the file is sealed due to reasonable fear of safety (Sealed Name Change).
The Superior Court is the proper court to petition for a name change for a minor (under 18). The Superior Court has minor name change instructions and forms online.
Name change petitions may be filed and heard in Superior Court when the person desiring a change of his or her name or that of his or her child or ward, is a victim of domestic violence. The name change file is sealed due to reasonable fear for the petitioner's safety or that of his or her child or ward.
Once the name change has been approved, if you wish to change the birth certificate (and the person was born in Washington State) you will need to send certified copies of all completed paperwork to the Department of Health. There is a fee for each new certificate plus you will need to enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope for return. Please contact the Department of Health for current fees.

Trump Even Screwed Up the TikTok Sale
Corruption all the way down.
Jonathan V. Last
1. TikTok
We have a TikTok deal? Maybe? Sort of?
A few weeks ago when Trump announced that the government was going to force the sale of TikTok, I said that even if Trump was going about the sale the wrong way—key money!—it was a good thing. Because allowing TikTok to continue to operate in the current configuration was a threat to national security.
Readers objected to me giving Trump credit for doing something helpful. The general tenor of these objections was, "You are a fool to trust anyone this corrupt to do anything right."
Point taken. My apologies.
As a "private" Chinese company which ultimately answers to the Chinese government, TikTok poses two challenges to the United States.
The first danger is that TikTok is gobbling up the private information of U.S. citizens. It can do whatever it wants with that information. If the Chinese government asks for it, TikTok will give hand it over.
The second danger is that TikTok surfaces—or hides—videos according to its proprietary algorithm. If the Chinese government decides that it wants TikTok to only show American users videos in which someone declares that, for instance, the results of the 2020 election are illegitimate, then that is what TikTok will do. Or, if the Chinese government forbids TikTok from showing videos in which users say that China is abusing human rights, then TikTok will suppress those videos.
In other words, TikTok is a giant propaganda cannon which is ultimately controlled by an authoritarian country with strategic interests opposed to our own.
And this second danger far, far outweighs the first. Allowing TikTok to operate in this way would not be all that different than the FCC giving a broadcast license to the Russian government.
Which is why I said it was good that Trump was forcing the sale of TikTok.
But in the end, the joke is on me. Because the TikTok "sale" Trump just blessed only addresses the first problem—user data security—while entirely side-stepping the biggest problem—giving the ChiComs the power to determine what information this massive platform shows Americans.
This "sale" to Oracle and Walmart gives the American companies "ownership" of the user data, but not the TikTok algorithm. Which remains entirely in under the control of the Chinese.
Here's Ben Thompson:
[T]his deal is the worst possible outcome:
First, there is at best a marginal gain in U.S. data security, which probably wasn't a concern in the first place.
Second, there are only fig leaf improvements to the question of the recommendation algorithm, which will have zero impact on very real concerns around the Chinese Communist Party's ability to censor and push propaganda to U.S. consumers.
Third, the very concept of the rule of law is in shambles, as the only real change from the original Microsoft deal is to ensure that ByteDance keeps the company while Trump donors get a cloud deal.
This last point can't be made enough: this deal is significantly worse than the original Microsoft deal that Trump squashed, but unfortunately for Satya Nadella, he wasn't a big Trump donor. I hate to be cynical, but it's honestly hard to see what else mattered.
I was a fool to have expected anything less.
2. More from Amos Williamson
You guys all seemed to really like the Prophet Amos yesterday, so I also want to share his post script to me about the future of conservatism and the Republican party:
In a piece a couple months back, Jonah Goldberg wrote that one of the reasons he likes the post-apocalyptic genre is that one of his favorite intellectual games is to imagine how people would change and what they would become absent the rules, structures, and traditions of civilization.
I think, at least in regards to conservative politics, he has the tense wrong: Imagine instead that the apocalypse happened in 2015 (for lack of a better marker, imagine the apocalypse was Obergefell) and we're now living in the aftermath. Your typical positivist conservative is no longer accurately described as "conservative" (in the small-c sense). They do not wish to preserve what presently exists because what presently exists they find intolerable. What they want is either restoration or vengeance.
In the strictly amoral, get-what-you-want and climb-the-greasy-pole sense, who would you consider to be the most successful politicians of the last 5 years?
On the left, I think the obvious answers have to be Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Kamala Harris. Sanders managed, with two unsuccessful presidential campaigns, to dramatically move the center of gravity of a party he didn't even belong to in ways unimaginable a decade ago. AOC is a freshman in Congress of whom the same-party Speaker is afraid. Harris has gone from state AG to the Senate to (likely) the vice presidency and heir-apparent to an obviously one-term president.
On the right, I think the answers are Mitch McConnell, Dan Crenshaw, and Josh Hawley. McConnell cares above all things about staffing the judiciary (since that's where half of real legislation happens; the other half being executive agencies). Crenshaw is a house freshman who has managed to build a distinctive brand that is vaguely Trumpy but not actually associated with Trump personally. Josh Hawley has gone from state AG to senator to likely debate-stage presidential candidate with the inside track for the hard-edged, populist, social-conservatism lane, also with minimal overt personal fealty to Trump.
You know what all those people have in common? None appeal to constitutional principle but rather to overriding, non-constitutional principles.
That's the future.
Trump will likely try to make either Don Jr. or Ivanka heir-apparent. That is already (allegedly, according to people who float around the people who float around the WH) the only actual plan for his second term.
Since he probably loses, I doubt that takes.
He'll buy OANN or something similar to try to make it happen. My gut feeling is that once Trump becomes a loser, the Trump brand will get a lot less attractive. (Go back and read the descriptions of his 2015 rallies from pro-Trump sources. A big part of his early appeal was making people who were tired of losing feel like winners again.) The institutional personnel will also wither. There is no ism in Trumpism.
Your modal Trumpists are people like Jason Miller- no-morals opportunist mercs with right-wing sensibilities. Once the gravy's gone, there's no reason for them to still ride the train.
My prediction? The next GOP presidential nominee will be whoever most credibly convinces the base that he (and it will likely be a "he," Nikki Haley won't go down this path) will use the full powers of the presidency—not as theoretically constrained by the Constitution, but as they actually exist today—on the principle that the progressive left is an outright, capital-E Enemy of the United States of America.
You will not want to be part of that and you shouldn't feel bad about leaving.
No one should.

3. You Cannot Own a Statistic
Patent trolls are the worst. But patent trolls who are trying to kill baseball? They should be locked in a special circle of Hell where they're forced to watch the Marlins play the Diamondbacks, over and over, for all eternity.
This piece from the Athletic will make you very angry:
Last Monday morning a curious post hit Twitter, something baseball's statistical community hadn't really seen before. An outfit called Quality of Pitch had received a patent on their metric, as they presented it. . . .
MLB Quality of Pitch @qopbaseball
BREAKING: We have now received our patent from the USPTO for the method of combining measurements of movement, location and velocity to quantify pitches in baseball. This now certifies QOP as THE metric for calculating pitch quality. Look for QOP during future MLB broadcasts.
36 Retweets232 Likes
This writer, as well as a freelance analyst for The Athletic, Ethan Moore, received a vaguely threatening direct message last Monday, about the same time the tweet went up. Moore has written about "stuff" metrics, and done research with test results and open-source coding, in partnership with this writer. . . .
Greiner and Wilson's Quality of Pitch is a statistic that combines speed, location and movement into a single numeric value, which is an approach that makes sense. Though the pair of researchers have presented and written on their statistic in a few places, their data and code isn't necessarily available for scrutiny, and that might be because of the peculiar way the statistic was born.
Greiner and Wilson began by filming a local pitcher throwing 30 pitches in front of a local coach. After that coach rated each pitch, the duo thought they understood which aspects of a pitch they should test against the millions of pitches tracked by baseball. Using a regression model, they found weights to relate these aspects of movement, velocity and location to outcomes. Now that rating is patented, and QOP is attempting to make it the standard by affirming that any other statistic is an infringement.

"Official" 2010 Head Coach Prediction:
By xu9697, November 16, 2009 in Akron Zips Football
What about Charley Molnar?? Cincinnati wr coach
Another WR coach??? PLEASE get a defensive guy!
ZippyBall11 0
Little Joey
Obviously our defense sucks.. the 3-3-5 is not workin out.. but that is why you need a competent DC.. i just dont think that right now you can hope to win the MAC without a spread offense that can move the ball and put the defense in bad situations. especially out of conference games. if we ever want to beat a BCS school its not going to be becasue we have better players. its gonne be because we can move the ball and score tds. just like CMU is doing right now. most of the MAC is spread right now.
Rivals Defensive Coordinator Power Rankings From the beginning of the seasonI would give Narduzzi and Tenuta an interview from that list (both familiar with the MAC). Maybe Bennett.

I thought his name rang a bell? "A Youngstown, Ohio, native, Narduzzi earned all-state football honors at Ursuline High School. He played for his father Bill Narduzzi at Youngstown State as a freshman in 1985 and led the Ohio Valley Conference in tackles. Narduzzi then transferred to Rhode Island and became a three-year starter linebacker for the Rams from 1987-89."
You know how those Search firms get huge chunks of money for rustling up coaching candidates? I think UA needs to give ZipNation $50,000 for this thread. I'll donate it all to the new soccer stadium and basketball arena.

I have read about the guy at Tennessee, his experience there this year could be important for those of you that hate the defense we run, since they have one of the best defensive minds that has ever coached football. Maybe we should have lent Tennessee our defensive coaches for the year and then brought them back. Also, I hear Nu'Keese Richardson and a few other UT players may be available next fall.
Narduzzi seems like a good one, knows Ohio and recruiting here, I also heard their staff just got a visit from the kid from St. V-M, Dorian Grant. Looking at his history, Narduzzi has moved up quick, and his boss at Michigan State was really the key in OSU's championship. From the experience from the Dantonio tree, he has a mix of influences from Tressel to Saban to Mason. These guys also led UC into the Big East and laid the foundation for Kelly to be a success. As you can see from my previous posts, building something where there was not success before is very important to me. As far as Tenuta, why has he not had an opportunity yet? He was on Coopers staff at OSU as DC, led the Georgia Tech D, was supposed to go with Les Miles to Michigan before they lost their minds and hired Rich Rod, and was a finalist for Michigan State before Dantonio got it. I don't think we are in his league to be honest, but after this year in South Bend maybe he would be available to at least talk about.

since everyone is throwing out names...John Lockhardt...California,Pennsylvania and Scott Browning Edinboro State...y'all can check their records they are more than solid...these guys recruit areas that need to be recruited by the Zips...they have and are running winning successful programs and make the DII playoffs, both again this year...Browning has ohio connections also...these guys look like stability which this program hasn't had...look a little closer to home and look for someone who has been a head coach
Maybe we can get a coach that can forge a relationship with Ted Ginn Sr and get one or two Glenville players and increase visibility in the Cleveland area, I'm tired of being shown on the news with the Baldwin Wallace highlights.
If you are going to go with a coordinator, why not try to get Kansas' offensive coordinator Ed Warinner. He was once an assistant at Akron, and was one of three finalists for the AFCA Assistant Coach of the Year award.

The PSAC is not a very good conference at all, I grew up in Pennsylvania and have seen those schools play. I would be very disappointed if we got a coach from there. Especially "Boro", Edinboro is def a ghetto and is worse than Can't state haha. I think we need either a FCS HC or someone from FBS.
Location:THE A.T.L.
does anybody know about the coach from app state.i wonder what it would take to get him from $ standpoint.they have been one of the top 1-aa teams for a few years.i just wonder if he would be interested in the job.what we would pay him might not be much more than he is making now?

You know how those Search firms get huge chunks of money for rustling up coaching candidates?
It's amazing they make as much as they do to do what they do. From what I've heard, there are only a couple of these firms and all you are really paying for is confidentiality. Athletic departments around the country a full of blabbermouths and word would get out as to who was looking at each job. These firms keep things quiet for as long as possible until the process moves forward to the point where a small group of candidates is comfortable with their name getting out as a candidate.Loose lips sink ships and they also cost athletic departments a ton of money in finders fees.
I would avoid Glenville like the plague. Battling 25 other schools for player is insane. It is the most over-recruited school in the nation. The Zips can never win there.Furthermore - We had crap luck with the three Glenville kids we recruited back in JD's first year (0 - 3)...and it always seems I'm reading about some Glenville-schooled collegiate player in the local police blotter.
UofA gets plenty of NE Ohio kids. That isn't the problem. Being on the news with BW is not the problem. The problem is UofA is not giving someone from Cleveland or Lakewood or Lake Co., etc. a reason to drive 60+ miles to watch a football game. The product is bad. When they do, people from Cleveland will come. There are enough people in Summit and Stark Cos. to draw from...heck, there are enough alumni in those conties to draw from.We go through cycles where Zips fans think bringing in more NE Ohio kids will draw bigger crowds. Each time we have tried it, failure has followed. Let's bring in kids who are good enough to win in the MAC and want to win....not play in a new stadium as their primary motive.
I dont think that getting those kids is necessarily a problem, but just in talking football with a lot of people in the Cleveland area, the real high school fans know Nicely for example, and are paying attention to how he is doing even if they don't care about Akron football in general. I just know there is a lot of talent up there, and we need to take some of it, and also see this weekend as a big opportunity with 2 of the best high school football programs in the country coming to Infocision. I know the goals before this season have diminished, but the possibility of ever leaving the MAC is likely tied into getting part of Cleveland to notice what happens here, and Akron does have this advantage to exploit being that this is a large market, but it has to start with winning football games.

We've had a D-1 football team for 23 years and we have a combined 1 bowl appearance. We aren't exactly fast-tracking ourselves out of the MAC.I think that we should invoke a law on ZN that no one is allowed to discuss moving to a bigger conference until the Zips both:1.) Win a D1 football bowl game2.) Win an NCAA basketball tournament game

Lets see, if a coaching change is made by the AD you'd have to think he'd be interested in guys he's familiar with. The AD came from Minnesota. We'd want a guy with Ohio ties.Glenn Mason, anyone?Still, if a change is made I'd like to at least see some form of continuity with the QB...changing Nicely's coaches could set him back a step that is why Walt Harris would probably be right at the top of the list. That being said, if Brookhart is given the axe, would Harris be interested in staying at a school that got rid of the guy who brought him there in the first place?
get real...a ghetto!!!??? who made you god? i have followed IUP football and the PSAC for years...Frank Cignetti... 182-50?i don't know..i may have more relatives in western pa. than most...oh...esu won their first playoff game...i think california got a first round bye?...esu,cal and stroud are still in....where are you from?

With UConn's thrashing of the Irish yesterday the future coaching situation at UA is becoming much clearer. I expect an announcement in the not to distant future that the U will be hiring Jim Dennison as HC. Not that they actually want him to coach, but so that we can continue a tradition and fire him to then hire Charlie Weis.

( paper) Structure of null sets in Euclidean spaces: results and open problems
I will describe a decomposition theorem for sets of measure zero in the plane which can be deduced from an elementary combinatorial result (Dillworth's lemma). I will then outline a few applications to elementary questions in Geometric Measure Theory. The extension of these results to higher dimensions is mostly open.
This is joint work with D. Preiss (Warwick) and M. Csörnyei (University College London).
Contact homology via Legendrian curves: definition and first steps of computation
Using the Legendrian curves associated to a "dual" form, we have defined in an earlier work a contact homology for three dimensional contact structures. We will establish in this talk that this definition holds under full generality. We will show that compactness holds in this framework and we will provide the value of this homology for odd generators.
On the field-matter interaction in electromagnetism: a weak convergence approach
It has been a long standing goal of theoretical physics to derive interaction between field and matter directly from field equations, without any coupling, matter being interpreted as singularities of the field (such as vortices, for instance) or, alternately, as zones of high intensity of the field (when the field equations do not generate singularities). In the case of classical electromagnetism, this idea has been introduced by Gustav Mie, then followed by Max Born and many others.
Starting from the nonlinear theory of Born and Infeld, we will see how the field-matter interaction follows from the original field equations (the Born-Infeld system) after performing two steps:
i) adding the conservation of energy-momentum equations to the original field equations, and
ii) introducing the weak closure of the algebraic manifold in which the solutions take their value.
We will also discuss, with a quite different point of view, a concept of viscosity solutions in the large for this kind of nonlinear systems.
Fully nonlinear equations for integral diffusions
We will present the elements of a regularity theory (ABP theorem, estimates, Harnack type inequality) for "bounded measurable" and "fully nonlinear" diffusions of fractional type. This is a joint project with Luis Silvestre.
Hyperbolic balance laws with dissipation
The lecture will characterize source terms of hyperbolic systems of balance laws that induce dissipation, in the context of BV solutions, and will discuss implications to the theory of relaxation.
Hardy-Dirac inequalities and applications
In this talk I will present various versions of Hardy-like inequalities for the Dirac operator. Particular attention will be given to the case of multipolar and magnetic potentials, where the physical model behind the inequalities as well as their implications will be described in details.
A nonlinear partial differential equation model for lakes and rivers
I will discuss a simple fast diffusion partial differential equation that predicts the formation of "lakes" and "rivers" on a given landscape.
( paper) The sharp Sobolev inequality in quantitative form
We present a quantitative version of the sharp Sobolev inequality in , 1<p<n , with a remainder term involving the distance from the functions for which the equality is attained.
Wave equation, Strichartz inequality and Lorentz transformations
Let u be a solution of the three-dimensional wave equation. The Strichartz inequality
is an important tool for studying nonlinear perturbations of the wave equation. The goal of this talk is to describe, for a given sequence of such solutions u with Cauchy data which converge weakly to (0,0) in , the obstruction to the convergence to 0 of the norm of u, and in particular the role played by Lorentz transformations in this obstruction. Applications to cubic perturbations of the wave equation will be given.
Numerical simulation of a channel flow with chaotically moving boundary
In this talk I will present joint work with R. Azencott and G. Guidoboni.
One of the objectives of our resarch is to simulate the flow of incompressible viscous fluids modelled by the Navier-Stokes equations when (a part of) the boundary is moving randomly. I will present here a first step in this direction. We consider a pressure driven flow in a two-dimensional channel when the two walls parallel to the pressure gradient have a chaotic motion preserving the area of the channel. In order to solve the above problem numerically we combine a time discretization by operator-splitting with a geometrical transformation mapping the flow domain into a fixed rectangle, allowing thus a space discretization by a finite element method taking advantage of a fixed triangulation. The results of numerical experiments suggest a resonance phenomenon when (some kind of) a fundamental frequency varies; this implies in particular that the variation of the equivalent viscosity of the time averaged flow is not monotonic.
The weak limit of semigroups
The weak limit of a sequence of strongly continuous semigroups needs not be a semigroup. The zero dispersion limit of the KdV equation is an example, and possibly the description of a turbulent flow.
Mean field games
In this talk we derive new systems of equations by taking the limits of Nash equilibria as the number of players goes to infinity. We indicate some aspects of the rigorous derivation of such systems and discuss their mathematical structure. We shall also mention the connections with the Hartree type systems in Quantum Mechanics, the Euler equations, the optimal control of partial differential equations...
Existence results for micro-macro models of polymeric flows
Systems coupling fluids and polymers are of great interest in many branches of applied physics, chemistry and biology. Although a polymer molecule may be a very complicated object, there are simple theories to model it. One of these models is the FENE (Finite Extensible Nonlinear Elastic) dumbbell model. Another model is the Doi model (or Rigid model) where each polymer is modeled by a vector on the sphere. We will present some local and global existence results for these models.
New estimates on singular integral operators
An improvement on the T(1) theorem by David and Journé will be discussed. This research is a joint work with Professor Qixiang Yang.
Modifications to Newton's second law and continuum elastodynamics
Newton's law, F = m a, has withstood centuries but when applied to a body's motion in principle requires tracking trillions of electrons and nuclei. Instead one "averages things out" and applies Newton's law macroscopically. However, building upon previous work, we show that if one does this, the macroscopic version of Newton's law takes a different form in which force depends on acceleration not just at the present time but also at previous times. We provide simple models with a complex and direction dependent inertia at a given frequency. The elastodynamic equations are also modified, and we obtain new equations, generalizing those found by Willis in the 1980's, which govern the behavior of the ensemble averaged weighted displacement field. The weighting function may be zero in regions where there are voids, or where the displacement field is unobservable. This research is joint work with John Willis.
Extensions of a simple inequality
The inequality refers to a nonnegative function u defined on (-1,1). It estimates |du/dt(0)| in terms of u(0) and of the maximum of the second derivative of u. Various extensions are given, including some to higher dimensions.
Numerical challenges in mathematical finance
Since the work of Black and Scholes, the modelling of options and other derivatives has become quite sophisticated. Analytical solutions of the models do not exist in most cases and numerical simulations are necessary. Some of the models require the solving of partial differential equations in many dimensions and are numerically very expensive.
In this talk we shall review these topics and present personal contributions for the direct computation of European and American basket options, for stochastic volatility models and for their calibration.
For the calibration of local volatilities in the Black-Scholes model, we shall review Dupire's approach and show that duality can be used at the discrete level for any linear model. Numerical results will be presented when spline approximations are used to reduce the number of parameters.
Tristan Rivière (ETH Zürich)
Analysis aspects of Willmore surfaces
We present a new formulation of the Euler-Lagrange equation of the Willmore functional for immersed surfaces in . This new formulation of Willmore equation is in divergence form. Moreover the nonlinearities are made of jacobians. Additionally, if denotes the mean curvature vector of the surface, this new form reads as , where is a well defined locally invertible elliptic self-adjoint operator.
These three facts have numerous consequences in the analysis of Willmore surfaces. A first consequence is that the long standing open problem of giving a meaning to the Willmore Euler-Lagrange equation for immersions having only bounded second fundamental form is now solved. We then establish the regularity of weak Willmore immersions with bounded second fundamental form. The proof of this result is based on the
discoveries of conservation laws for Willmore immersions and of grad-curl structures which are preserved under weak convergences. We establish then a weak compactness result for Willmore surfaces of energy less than (the Li-Yau condition which ensures the embeddedness of the surface). This theorem is based on a point removability result that we prove for Wilmore surfaces in . Finally, we deduce from this point removability result the strong compactness, modulo the Möbius group action, of Willmore tori below the energy level in dimensions 3 and 4.
Heuristic and rigorous treatment of ill-posed singular perturbation problems
In this lecture, I will present joint work with Yu. V. Egorov and N. Meunier.
We consider singularly perturbed elliptic boundary value problems depending on a parameter . The problem under consideration is classical for but is ill-posed for since its boundary condition does not satisfy the Shapiro-Lopatinskii condition on some part of the boundary.
We use a non variational framework due to Caillerie, which allows one to prove the existence of a unique limit in an appropriate abstract space. We consider more general domains (here the domains are two dimensional manifolds with boundary) than those considered in previous works on the subject. A heuristic simplifying argument leads to an equivalence between the problem for a general geometry and a simpler problem formulated on a one dimensional manifold.
That kind of problem is motivated by the theory of thin shells.
Initial-boundary value problems for wave-like systems with Neumann-type boundary condition
We consider linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problems, where we assume that the partial differential equation is the Euler-Lagrange equation of some Lagrangian. The homogeneous boundary conditions are those coming from the variational formulation, when the variations take arbitrary values at the boundary. The simplest example is that of the wave equation with Neumann boundary condition. Classical is also the system of linear elasticity with zero normal stress at the boundary.
We show that such an initial-boundary value problem cannot satisfy the uniform Kreiss-Lopatinskii condition. Therefore the corresponding non-homogeneous initial boundary value problem is not strongly stable in Kreiss' sense. But since we are concerned by the homogeneous boundary condition, we give a new definition of strong stability that is appropriate for nonlinear iterations.
We characterize this stability condition in various terms: coercivity of the internal energy, non-vanishing of the Lopatinskii determinant on an appropriate set, positivity of some parametrized Hermitian matrix. The theory gives quite comfortable results. In particular, the passage from the constant coefficients case in a half-space to variable coefficients in a bounded domain is quite simple and does not require pseudo-differential tools.
At last, we prove that such problems display surface waves in every direction along the boundary.

Heat flow versus Schrödinger flow for the Ginzburg-Landau energy in two dimensions
The Gross-Pitaevskii and the parabolic Ginzburg-Landau equations correspond respectively to the Schrödinger and heat flows for the Ginzburg-Landau energy functional. Among the interesting features of these two systems is the fact that different regimes lead to a rich variety of limit systems: in the planar case, these include for example vortex motions, traveling waves, and phase oscillations governed by the linear heat and wave equations. In this talk I will review some recent works aimed at understanding each of these modes as well as their interactions.
( paper) On the stability of a uniformly rotating viscous incompressible self-gravitating fluid
We give a justification of the principle of minimization of the potential energy for the stability problem of a uniformly rotating viscous incompressible self-gravitating fluid. Special attention is given to the case where the surface tension is not taken into account. We prove that the regime of rigid rotation is stable when the second variation of the potential energy is positive definite, and unstable when it can take negative values. The proof is based on the analysis of a free boundary problem for perturbations of the velocity and of the pressure of the rotating fluid, and on the analysis of the corresponding linearized problem.
Backward stochastic differential equations and nonlinear partial differential equations
Backward stochastic differential equations are a system of stochastic equations with both initial and terminal data. These equations appear naturally in optimal stochastic control and in mathematical finance, and they have been studied extensively in the last decade. There is also an interesting connection with nonlinear parabolic equations through a simple use of stochastic calculus. In this talk, I will outline this connection and use it to develop a Monte-Carlo type numerical scheme for nonlinear partial differential equations.
( paper) On Landau solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
In 1944 L.D. Landau calculated a very interesting family of explicit solutions of the steady-state 3d Navier-Stokes equations. The solutions are derived under certain assumptions of symmetry, which reduce the Navier-Stokes equations to a system of ordinary differential equations. We investigate what happens when some of the symmetry conditions are dropped (and we have to deal with a system of partial differential equations). Possible implications of these calculations for more general classes of solutions will also be discussed.
