Eagle Council is the annual conference for supporters of Phyllis Schlafly who are known as "Eagles" because Phyllis adopted the American bald eagle as her personal emblem and as the symbol of her leadership in politics and public affairs. In September 1966, Phyllis worked with a jeweler to design the eagle pin which has been worn by her friends and supporters ever since. In June 1967 she established the Eagle Trust Fund to support her public activities. In August 1967, the Eagle Trust Fund published the first monthly issue of The Phyllis Schlafly Report with a soaring eagle design on its masthead. Now in its 52nd year of continuous publication, The Phyllis Schlafly Report has had more than 600 issues with the same eagle logo.
In February 1968, Phyllis convened a national conference called The Eagles Are Flying. Several more meetings were held under that name, including the historic 1972 conference to stop the Equal Rights Amendment. The 1972 conference was later recognized as the first Eagle Council, which has been held annually ever since.

It is possible to disperse NANOFER dry powder (25P or STAR) in various liquids in order to improve stability and migration, prevent agglomeration or adjust the reactivity of nanoparticles. Another intention might be a combination of nZVI and other compounds to create completly new products with unique features for alternative application. Please see few examples bellow.
Among other surface modifications (e.g. PAA coated NANOFER 25S), addition of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) proved to be resulting in enhanced mobility and making the application of slurry easier. This product was tested also in Research Facility for Subsurface Remediation (VEGAS) within the NanoRem project. The pilot test provided results showing among others a high remediation efficiency of NZVI. CMC coating is recommended particularly for surface modification of NANOFER STAR, which is injected on sites with difficult conditions like low permeability.
It is possible to use NANOFER for preparation of emulsified zero-valent iron (EZVI) according to NASA patent (a mixture of water, vegetable oil, stabilizers/emulsifiers and iron particles).
Another option is to place nanoparticles into innert liquid instead of water: NANOFER 25PG is a dispersion of very reactive iron nanoparticles in propylene glycol, which is intensively used in pharmacy, food industry and other sectors considered as safe compound. There is no chemical interaction between iron and propylene glycol, therefore the product is not affected by ageing (corrosion) like standard water slurries.
Another interesting option is lately seen in combination of iron nanoparticles together with other noble metals. These products with strong catalytic properties can be applied in remediation of recalcitrant compounds, which are hard to treat by conventional methods. Another field of application is seen in function paintings, surfaces or petrochemistry.


The new X5 will debut later this year. This is the best look at it yet.
The 2019 BMW X5 will debut this summer as part of the German brand's rapid update to its SUV range and sales will begin before the end of the year. These new spy shots provide the best preview yet of the new model.
This test mule shows the next-gen X5 with its production LED headlights, fog lights, and big grille. The lower fascia doesn't feature much concealment, either. These parts make the SUV's front end look both handsome and aggressive, which is the perfect mix for a premium crossover.
In profile the roof gains a slight arch that creates a sleeker appearance than the current generation. However, it's not as steep of a rake as what buyer's would get from the X6. The D-pillar at the back appears quite thick. This could affect visibility but cutting-edge driver assistance systems should solve any difficulties. At the rear, BMW's camouflage doesn't conceal the taillights very well, and there are integrated exhaust pipes at the bottom corners of the bumpers.
The X5 will follow many current BMW models by moving to the company's highly adaptive CLAR platform. The SUV will possibly be slightly larger, but the new underpinnings will allow weight to fall. This will also provide more interior room.
BMW will provide a variety of engines in the X5, including a plug-in hybrid. Until the X5 M arrives, the M50i will be the range-topping variant. It'll likely use a version of the company's biturbo 4.4-liter V8.
Customers in need of an even larger premium SUV don't need to wait much longer for BMW to add the X7 to the lineup. In standard guise, the model will offer three rows of seats, but the company will reportedly eventually offer an ultra-luxurious two-row variant.


These beautiful booties are a classic yet stylish addition to any outfit. Whether your child is playing in the nursery or bundled up for a walk through the forest, these lightweight yet warm booties will keep those little toes toasty warm. Featuring a drawstring to help keep them secure, they are perfect for those active little legs. Fancy enough for elegant special occasions yet comfortable enough for hours of playtime, they go with anything from dresses to rompers to jeans and a t-shirt.

These interviews were conducted in rural areas of North Carolina for the 50th anniversary in 1985 of the Rural Electrification Administration. The project of the North Carolina Association of Electric Cooperatives explored the impact electricity had made in the daily lives of rural people. Respondents described ways they completed household and farm chores heated their homes, read and studied at night, and performed other everyday tasks before electricity. Most respondents also discussed the origins and development of their local electric cooperatives.

Two very disturbing news articles related to higher education admissions and of a job circular recently caught my attention.
One was for PhD and MPhil admissions at one of Bangladesh's oldest publicly-funded universities, and the other for a job at one of Bangladesh's largest national armed forces.
In the first one, it has been explicitly mentioned that students who have finished their undergraduate and graduate degrees from a private university in the country cannot directly apply for the PhD program at the public university (on the contrary, public university honours graduates can apply directly), but have to do an MPhil there first. For MPhil, their degree must first be validated by a committee of the university.
These two despicable acts by the two government entities mentioned above are in direct contradiction to the Private University Act of Bangladesh Government of 1992.
The government decided to introduce private universities in the country, degree-granting institutions owned by private entities and not funded by the government.
This was done to meet the ever-increasing demand for higher education because of the increasing population and fast-growing economy.
Each of these universities have to go through a rigorous process of getting approval from the government administered University Grants Commission (UGC). Each new degree and course has to be approved by the UGC first.
The UGC also monitors the quality and standard of education at these institutes, and, if found unsatisfactory, they hold the right to take action, including closing down that university in extreme cases.
I do not wish to claim or prove that private university graduates are better (or worse) than public university graduates. None of them are necessarily superior or inferior.
Yes, it is true that there are faults in how some private universities are administered poorly -- there have been instances of corruption, nepotism, and mismanagement in some of them. It is the government's responsibility to ensure that all private (and public) universities are performing well, as they should.
Most public universities themselves have had their share of problems too, including session jams, political violence, corruption, nepotism (a recurring issue), and many others.
One might wonder that, if private university graduates were of such inferior quality, how are they successfully finishing PhDs in some of the world's top universities?
How are they having successful careers in different sectors in Bangladesh and overseas, in multinationals and major corporations?
OK, in this modern day and age no one believes anyone, opting instead to Google the truth. Try Googling "Bangladesh's first nanosatellite" and see where it takes you.
Currently, there are over 35 public universities and over 80 private universities in Bangladesh. According to one source, 454,530 students study in public or state-funded universities, while 398,737 study in private universities.
Although it is true that getting admission into some of our top public universities is tougher compared to most of the private universities, because of the tuition fee difference and the prestige associated with the former, graduates of private universities should, by no means, be deprived of higher education and/or job opportunities in the government sector.
Why exactly are private university graduates being looked down upon by the government entities? What exactly is their sin? The fact that they covered their tuition cost with their (or their parents') hard-earned money?
I have no idea who takes these prejudiced decisions, or what compels them to do so, but decisions like these are plain unacceptable in a democratic country, and the ministries concerned should immediately look into this matter.
These kinds of decisions further segregate a country, which is already deeply segregated because of many other reasons.

We start on the premise that the stumbling block halting our ambition to take the leap to our desired state of a "high income" economy from a middle income one is a "systemic" problem.
It is therefore necessary to focus on each of the constituent parts of the system in order to find the solutions which will allow us to move forward. Getting all parts to move in sync is a necessary condition for maximizing "synergy" from the sum of those parts. The role of leadership is in turn critical in minimizing friction in the bringing together of the parts.
One of the essential parts of the system is undoubtedly the Civil Service or the administrative arm of government in implementing its programmes and achieving its objectives. The role of the Civil Service in Mauritius since the country achieved independence has been remarkable and a reflection of this is the way in which many observers have praised the Public-Private Partnership which has characterized governance of the country over the years as one of the principal causes of our economic success.
It is no secret though, that for some time now, there has been a general sentiment that the administration seems to be lagging behind in terms of what it needs to deal with the emerging scenario of economic liberalism and the greater opening of the economy due to the forces of globalization. In this context it is clear that the private sector has taken the lead and transformed its "modus operandi" by engaging in a protracted programme of restructuring and mergers resulting in greater concentration and centralization of decision-making so as to deal more effectively with the demands of the new economic environment both local and global.
Surely, the public sector cannot expect to continue to add value to the development process, by partnering the private sector as it did in the past, if it does not carry out its own transformation. The only sustainable partnership for managing the macro-economic environment so that private sector enterprises can take maximum advantage of business opportunities while respecting the desiderata of government in terms of its economic, social and environmental agenda is one where there is a dialogue between equals. Of course this will result in constant horse-trading and occasional disagreements but we must agree that this is the stuff that governing is made of.
We are not concerned here with the classic debate when it comes to Civil Service reforms about an inevitable choice between "increasing the quality of government" and "decreasing the quantity of government" (the latter referring to over-staffing rather than to the more fundamental issue of the extent of the role of government). The real issues are those of how to adapt the organizational structures of the administrative machinery to the needs of the hour as well as building the capacity in the Service by attracting the appropriate talents to populate those new structures while providing necessary training to those who are already in place. Equally important would be the need to reignite the public service ethos and introduction of a culture of engagement. Of course the salary structure is part of the problem.
Re-inventing government has been on the agenda of several countries but it has been hailed as a success in only a few. It would probably need the appointment of a team of professionals to carry out a thorough study of our existing Civil Service structure and make recommendations for its overhaul. Nevertheless it is possible to identify some of the most patent weaknesses of the organization and suggest some remedies.
Foremost among these is the need to make a distinction among the three functions of Agenda Setting, Policy Formulation and Implementation. The introduction of a layer of ministerial advisers, admittedly a necessary addition in view of the more and more complex nature of issues with which Ministers have to deal, has not helped in this context. While it is admitted that there are no clearly distinguishable sequences and stages for these three functions which overlap in practice, it is still important to assign ultimate responsibility to some identifiable person or persons.
Agenda Setting is an eminently political function and Ministers who are constrained by the electoral settings are responsible for defining this. Policy formulation is a more delicate subject which cuts across the political and the administrative. Senior officials must work hand in hand with their political bosses in order to define the right policies which meet the objectives of the politicians while safeguarding the integrity of the administrative process. Finally as regards implementation, it is clearly the sole responsibility of the administrative cadre. An institutionalization of the distinction among these three functions would arguably go a long way towards clarifying the roles and responsibilities of each of the parties.
With regard to the administration, an interesting approach suggested by famous researcher Herbert A Simon is to view the organization as a three-layered cake. A first layer of repetitive or routine tasks is performed by people who apply existing rules and procedures. Then come what are defined as Programmed Decision making processes, which deal with tasks which may require some form of judgement but only to the extent of choosing from the appropriate existing manual of procedures or referring to the right precedents. Finally, Non Programmed decision making processes are all about judgement.
Civil Service Reform is a necessary condition for improving the economic growth prospects of Mauritius. As a partner and active participant in achieving the goals of government, the Civil Service has a defining role in implementation of policies. Any weakness in its organization is bound to have an impact on the future prospects of the country.

Apple World Today > Archived Post > STACKED expands its wireless charging ecosystem
STACKED expands its wireless charging ecosystem
Archived PostDennis SellersOctober 29, 2016
posted on Oct. 29, 2016 at 12:00 pm
STACKED has launched three new products for its wireless charging ecosystem: that deliver power, unleashed: the 360° Speed Case Bundle for iPhone 6/6s and 6/6s Plus; the new Audio Pack; and the 360° Car Charger.
At the center of the STACKED system is a wireless 360° speed connector that charges and syncs an iPhone faster than any other method, according to STACKED CEO Danny Guez. This proprietary wireless charging technology is built into each STACKED case, battery pack, wall charger, audio accessory and dock.
When the phone is in the low-battery zone, users simply "click" a battery pack securely to the protective case. Once charged, remove the pack to lose the deadweight.
In time for the holidays, STACKED created a bundle that includes the Generation 2 360° Speed Case for the iPhone 6/6s and 6/6s, a 2000 mAh battery pack, and an AC magnetic wireless charging wall plug. At 10.7 mm and 38g, STACKED's 360° Speed Case has been slimmed down to the essentials: simple, wire-free charging and phone protection.
The iPhone pops into the one-piece case, which features a patented slide lock. STACKED's external 2000 mAh wireless battery pack magnetically attaches and self-aligns to the 360° Speed Case, purportedly charging at 98% efficiency. The AC Wall Charger stacks and charges up to five battery packs at once. Once fully charged, users simply remove the case from the battery pack. Should they want to use the wireless battery pack as a portable charger, the battery features a USB port.
The Speed Case bundle for the iPhone 6/6s and 6/6s Plus is available now in black/black and white/space grey for US$99.99. The Speed Case Bundle for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will be available in black/black and white/space grey in December for $99.99.
The Audio Pack speaker magnetically connects to a 360° Speed Case, amplifying the iPhone's audio and eliminating the need for a separate portable Bluetooth speaker. It packs two 30 mm drivers and 4W performance. It also has built-in Bluetooth for wireless audio. Its integrated kickstand allows users to utilize their phone in landscape mode to watch videos or play games with enhanced audio quality. The Audio Pack will be available in black or white for $69.99 in December.
The 360 Car Charger is an in-car solution/universal mounting that works in tandem with the 360° Speed Case. Both products magnetically attach to each other, creating a secure connection for an iPhone that's adjustable in portrait or landscape viewing angles. The 360° Car Charger — available now for $49.99 — securely clips into a vehicle's air vent to instantly stack and charge a phone while on the road.

Forum on Law enforcement in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland
Australia : State Police & Policing agencies
By frankzappa, February 19, 2019 in Forum on Law enforcement in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland
frankzappa 0
Each state as well as the Northern Territory is responsible for maintaining its own police force which is responsible for policing at the state and local level. This involves general law and order, traffic policing, major crime, anti-terrorism branches, water police, search and rescue and in some states transit police. Local policing in the Australian Capital Territory, Jervis Bay Territory and Australia's external territories is contracted to the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
In some states, local governments employ by-laws officers or rangers to enforce local by-laws or ordinances relating to such matters as parking, dog ownership, retailing, littering or water usage. These local government officers are not considered to be police forces as they generally only have the power to issue fines and do not have the same powers as state police. They may rely upon appointment as a special constable or legislated powers for their authority.
Policing agencies
State police also perform certain functions on behalf of the Australian government such as the enforcement of various Commonwealth Acts and regulations in conjunction with the Australian Federal Police and other Commonwealth officers.
While ACT policing is under the jurisdiction of the Australian Federal Police, the following policing agencies are regulated by their respective state or territory government and are highly visible:
New South Wales Police Force
Northern Territory Police
Queensland Police
South Australia Police
Tasmania Police
Western Australia Police
Sheriffs
In recent years, the states and territories have returned the responsibility of recovering court ordered fines to their sheriffs. In practice, the police often carry out the functions of sheriffs and bailiffs in rural and more sparsely populated areas of Australia.
The office of sheriff was first established in Australia in 1824. This was simultaneous with the appointment of the first Chief Justice of New South Wales. The role of the sheriff has not been static, nor is it identical in each Australian state. In the past a shefiff's duties included: executing court judgements, acting as a coroner, the transportation of prisoners, managing the jails, and carrying out executions (through the employment of an anonymous hangman).
Currently, no Australian state provides for capital punishment. A government department (usually called the Department of Corrections or similar) now runs the prison system and the coroner's office handles coronial matters. The sheriff is now largely responsible for enforcing the civil orders and fines of the court by seizing and selling the property of judgement debtors who do not satisfy the debt, providing court security, enforcing arrest warrants, evictions, taking juveniles into custody and running the jury system. Some state sheriffs can also apply a wide range of sanctions ranging from suspending driver's licences and car registration through to wheel clamping and arranging community service orders, and as a last resort can make arrests.
Council rangers are officers employed by local government areas in Australia to enforce the by-laws (local laws in Western Australia); of those local governments and a limited range of state laws relating to such matters as litter control, animal control, dog laws, fire control, off-road vehicles, emergency management, and parking. Unless they are also sworn in as special constables, as many are, rangers do not have full police powers. Council rangers are also referred to as local laws officers in some of Australia's eastern states. Most Council rangers have the power to issue fines that don't exceed a certain amount.

After Gerald Cotton, founder and CEO of Canadian crypto exchange QuadrigaCX sadly passed away on the 15th of January, a complex situation has started for users of the platform. The deceased founder was the only person with the keys to the storage wallets, making it extremely difficult to now recover those funds.
The recommendations also shed light into some of the security diligences that CZ approves of, such as splitting private keys. The display of common sense also extends to avoiding the CEO carrying private keys.
If regular traders and hodlers have already been involved in threats and safety incidents concerning their access information, it seems even more necessary to ensure that the keys to the funds of the millions of Binance users are not held by a single person.
Twitter has been replying to CZ´s latest thoughts, with many expressing their happiness for his good health and general safety policies.
A fast DEX coming very soon.

I'm also a believer in feeding by body condition and making adjustments by exercise level, as opposed to a pre-determine formula.
That said, I've never fed such a small dog. For me personally, I think a scale would be useful (especially in the beginning) to get a feel for portion sizes (and especially in figuring out how to portion out 10% organ pieces).
People have different styles for meeting PMR ratios on organs. I like feeding 10% organs daily (one day liver/next day other) as I think it is easiest on the dog's GI system. So a scale would help me pre-prepackage the approx 0.2 oz organ pieces (at least until I got very used to eyeballing.
With a dog that small I might look at feeder animals generally fed to snakes (like feeder mice, rats, and baby chicks) as whole prey items.
I need some help folks. I'm looking at adopting a Chihuaha, which will be the smallest dog in my home. She weighs 6 lbs and her daily food amount would be .12 and her total for the week is less than a pound at .84. My other dogs are easy because they are...big. Has anyone fed a small dog a diet of RMB before? I found a few sites for cats that sell day old, and three day old quail, duck, etc. Or should I just get chicken and use a scale to calculate .12 daily? It seems like such a small amount compared to my other dogs so I want to get this one right. All the Chihuahas I see that are over ten years old are fat and out of shape. I don't want this to happen to any of my dogs. Your thoughts? Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
I feed according to body condition and activity level, not numbers. The numbers are guides, the body condition is always correct. It has never let me down.
as far as bone meals for such small dogs go, quail is fine, Cornish hens, chicken feet, chicken necks, and yes, hatchling ducklings would be fine. I have also fed frog legs to puppies as treats, or together with another protein.
Thanks Jenny. From what I saw, she's lean but well fed and in shape. And since sh'e only about 2 to 2 1/2 years then she's very young for a Chihuahua. So I can probably start out slow and work her up to 3%. If this is too much, or she gains weight, I can back off. Your response does help alot though because you gave me a few ideas I had not considered.
Bill, you and I are on the same page. I've already been to websites that sell feeder animals for snakes, cats, etc. as well as a few websites that have various products for dogs. That's where I came up with quail and other small birds that might work. On hare today that have chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, quail, and mice/rats in various sizes. I would probably steer clear from the mice for dogs as they are better suited for cats but the small chickens, rabbits, and quail are a good option.
The nice thing about feeder animals is that they would allow you to turn the Chihuahua's "downside" (the trickiness of hitting PMR ratios and getting suitable edible bone) into a positive of being able to feed "whole prey" (which isn't a realistic option for most of us).
What is the rationale behind thinking mice are less well suited for dogs?
I certainly have no expertise with this sort of feeding, but would love to hear more about your experiences as you move forward.
We get a fair number of very small dog owners visiting this forum and it would be cool to have someone sharing the experience of feeding "whole prey" (at least as part of the total).

Roderick Armstrong
Roderick William Armstrong passed away on July 24, 2013 in Council Bluffs, IA. He was born on November 18, 1928 to Frederick and Tina M. Armstrong in Kirksville, MO. He had older twin sisters, Margaret and Frances, and an older brother Richard. His family moved to Burlington in the 1940s when his father got a carpenter's job at the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant (IAAP). He graduated from Burlington High School in 1946 and later graduated from Burlington Junior College with an Associate Degree in Electrical Engineering. Roderick married Anna Horst October 15, 1948 at First Presbyterian Church in Burlington, Iowa. They had 3 children, Carol (San Francisco), Roger (Burlington, IA), and Eric (Carter Lake, IA).
Rod worked as an electrician for the CBandamp;Q railroad for 16 years. He was then an electronic technician at Mason andamp; Hanger at IAAP. After that, he was a technical writer and professional photographer at Winegard Company retiring in 1990.
He was known as a "Mr. Fixit", "Inventor",and "Bicycle Repair Man," because of his simple clever solutions to problems both large and small. He spent alot of time with his kids and grandchildren. He loved the out of doors, gardening, sailing, iceboating, windsurfing, cross country skiing, and woodworking.
In his retirement, he rescued many broken mystery items from auctions, figured out what was wrong, fixed them, and found them new homes. He collected and organized a workshop with an extensive collection of tools both modern and antique. Blowing up marshmallows in vacuum tubes and coming up with fun experiments was one of his joys. Rod was a master of building jigs and fixtures so that his finished work was perfect and repeatable. There was nothing he could not invent, engineer, fix or build.
Rod was always tinkering with something electrical or mechanical, but he especially enjoyed repairing engines. He taught his kids and grandkids about steam engines and he rebuilt one-cylinder hit and miss engines with his grandsons. The largest item he brought home from an auction was a 1937 Farmall F20 decrepit rusted out tractor. With help from his grandsons, he totally overhauled the tractor to a rebuilt working specimen.
Among the things he built and invented were automated pecan crackers, French rolling pins, and ornamental wooden butterflies. He built treehouses for his children and a generation later another for his grandchildren. A major achievement for him was creating seven beautiful grandfather clocks; from cutting and drying the cherry tree lumber for years and handcrafting the wood into family heirlooms that took thousands of hours to complete.
Any sport on water was mastered - motor boating, water skiing, fishing, sailing, windsurfing, and ice boating. He even built an ice rink in his backyard for his family that allowed for many memorable ice-skating activities. For many winters he raced iceboats with his son all over North America. When he wasn't racing he was building and tuning the boats to be some of the fastest boats racing in North America and some of the equipment he built is still being raced throughout the world today.
No vegetable garden was ever large enough for Rod. Proud of having the earliest tomatoes in town, he built a greenhouse and started his plants in mid-winter. He furnished free garden produce to the neighborhood and far beyond. The house always had fresh flowers year round from indoor and outdoor gardening.
Rod loved animals, cats were his passion. Over the years, he adopted many strays, especially those born under his back porch. Ducks and rabbits were also among the menagerie of pets in his care over the years.
He was team captain and support domestique for the three-generation family RAGBRAI cycling team consisting of his son, grandsons, and nephew leading the team across the state of Iowa.
Rod was the original road warrior traveling frequently with family in tow to the Florida Keys; traveled across country to visit his daughter Carol in San Francisco, through many a national park and down the west coast. He and Anne also enjoyed the flavors and sights of Europe, but his favorite respite was the shores of the Mississippi for sailing and camping as often as possible.
Rod loved music and took up restoring player pianos and Hammond spinet organs. He collected piano rolls and vintage sheet music to go with them. Rod moved with the times, playing music through his iPad amazed how he could find, "any," music he wanted online.
Rod's love of photography began in the 1950's as a hobby. As his passion grew from family and vacation photos in the early days, Rod also did industrial photography for work. His serious interest gave him a wide array of camera's and equipment as well as darkroom's both at work and home. Many historic photos of Burlington from the 1800's can be found on display in local museums, restaurants and public buildings as a result of Rod restoring old negatives.
In the cooking arena Rod made the best popcorn especially that grown by family. Using his clever inventiveness he motorized 100 plus year old corn sheller and added a chafing system. The machine processed literally tons of popcorn that was distributed to people around the world.
Rod is survived by wife Anne, sister Frances in Galesburg IL, 3 children - Carol Thistlethwaite, Roger and Colleen (Mullahy) Armstrong, Eric and Hillary (Parker) Armstrong, 4 grandchildren � Roderick Armstrong, Nathan Armstrong, Erin Armstrong Hernandez, Christy Lucas, 3 great grandchildren � Cuauhtemoc Hernandez, Christopher, and Cassandra and extended family members. He was predeceased by his parents, brother Richard, sister Margaret, and son-in-law David Thistlethwaite.
Visitation will be on Friday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in Prugh's Chapel where the family will receive friends at this time.
The funeral for Mr. Armstrong will be Saturday, August 3, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. in Prugh's Chapel with the Rev. Deb Kinney officiating.
Burial will be in Aspen Grove Cemetery. A Memorial fund in Roderick's name has been set up at the Des Moines County Humane Society.

Fans of the legendary HBO series Game of Thrones can watch the highly-anticipated final season premiere this Sunday in a suite fit for a king in New York City's Refinery Hotel. "Lannister's Lair" will be available for booking every Sunday starting April 14th until the end of the season.
Pay homage to the odyssey as it comes to a close this year by lounging on a fur throw, goblet of the hotel's signature wine in hand and the "Feast of Winterfell" on the nightstand (an entrée of pork shank, braised collard greens, heirloom beans and pomegranate gremolata from the themed room service menu). Set the mood even further with "dragon egg" candles set up throughout the space.
The Refinery Hotel was designed by Stonehill Taylor. Originally built in 1912, it housed a tea salon on the first floor and predominantly hat-making factories on the upper floors. The firm took cues from this duality by applying a more refined, classic atmosphere in the lobby with its reinterpreted neo-gothic details—such as the manufactured white plaster groin vaulted ceilings—and an industrial and raw aesthetic on the upper floors. Guestrooms feature 12 ft. high concrete ceilings, distressed hardwood floors and sewing machine-inspired desks. The ceiling of the rooftop bar is made with wood salvaged from the dismantled water tank previously at the top of the building.

This book covers the same subject that Michael Lewis covers in The Big Short (Inside the Doomsday Machine) and most of the same characters. While the Big Short had Michael Burry as the central character and main point of view The Greatest Trade Ever has John Paulson at the center and the story is mostly his account of what happened.
I'd suggest that you read both books but if you were only able to read one then I'd suggest this one. I feel that Michael Burry's story is more interesting from a character perspective because he had to deal with Asperger Syndrome and he was the first to setup and start shorting the toxic mortgages. However, John Paulson's story is more interesting from the financial point of view because he managed to pull the trade off most successfully.

Slipknot's Sid Wilson And Kelly Osbourne Have Welcomed Their First Child
Sid Wilson and Kelly Osbourne recently welcomed their first child, a son named Sidney. The revelation was made on Sharon Osbourne's U.K.-based current affairs television show "The Talk". Sid is the well-known mask-donning turntablist from Slipknot, while Kelly is the 38 year old daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne.
On January 3, during her appearance on "The Talk", Sharon shared that Kelly and Sid had named their son Sidney. She then explained to her co-hosts how delighted she was with the news: "[They're] just so, so great. So great. [Kelly] won't let a picture go out of him. No, and I'm so proud of her."
Last October, Kelly thrilled Entertainment Tonight viewers with the news that she and Sid were about to welcome a baby boy. Ozzy was especially overjoyed since this would be his first grandson; Jack Osbourne – 37 years old – only has four daughters.
"I mean, he's told everyone the gender of my baby before I ever got the chance to, and I'm just like, 'Aww, Dad, come on. Like, come on," Kelly then said. "But I will say, every single day he does this little song and this little dance about how excited he is, and he is so excited that it's a boy. It's the first — out of me and my brother, it's the first boy, so, he's like planning all these things."
"When my son lets me, he doesn't let me do it too much because I spoil the kids too much and he has to deal with them when I drop them off!"@MrsSOsbourne opens up about life as a grandparent and says daughter Kelly and grandchild Sidney are doing "so great". pic.twitter.com/B50D246bto

Two things stand out. First, it's really a hundred best movies men 18-49 remember. Second, as these things go, it's not very culty or eccentric, nor is it fixated either on trendy critics or the box office.

this is probably the first movie list where I have seen most of those movies. However, I have no idea why people love the Wizard of Oz so much. I HATE that movie.

Good list, and likewise, made up mostly of movies I've actually seen. Some of the placements of one film over the other are strange, but that's almost always the case with such lists.
Kudos to them for also putting the entire list on one page instead of exclusively making you click through to each individual entry, which, on a list this long usually would make me just skip it.

For those who hate THE WIZARD OF OZ, I think THE SOUND OF MUSIC's much more hateable. Even one of the co-stars despised it. (And it appears as if STAR TREK is just about the newest film in this list of 100. Yeesh. But no sign of ALIEN or THE EXORCIST. Yeesh.)
Here are the surviving films which overlap in my top 100, with their approximate positions.
4. The Wizard of Oz

I hate Oz, but honestly I've never really seen all of The Sound of Music. Just looking at it, it looks like its not my kind of movie, and the parts of it I have seen haven't really wanted to make me see more of it.
Fortunately I was never required to see The Sound of Music, but The Wizard of Oz was forced upon me several times as a child.
And yeah, WTF happened to Alien?
Good question. That's my number two.
When the AFI chose their first ''best 100'' in the 90s they had no room for ALIEN or THE EXORCIST either.
Mooch Commodore Commodore
Hmm. The Big Lebowski and Star Trek XI are higher than Seven Samurai? This list is a bit eccentric, to say the least.
Kirby said: ↑
I'm not a big fan of it either, although I recognize it as being "good". I'm pretty sure it's not the best movie ever.
Mooch, Apr 5, 2013
I never could get why the 2009 reboot's always called STAR TREK XI. Since it's taking place long before the events of TMP, it'll always be STAR TREK 0.5 to me.
I may be the in the minority here, but OZ kicks GWTW's ass. Its scope is smaller but makes up for it in emotional power.
I never could get why the 2009 reboot's always called STAR TREK XI.
Cause it's the one they made after they made Star Trek X. :P

George Lucas is going to have to do some serious renumbering in that case. Now we'll have to buy his special editions AGAIN.

Lucas explicitly used a different numbering system (retroactively, in the case of the first film). The Star Trek movies have been referred to with sequential numbering.

First, it's really a hundred best movies men 18-49 remember.
I count eight female contributors to that list.
CaptainCanada, Apr 6, 2013
STAR TREKS ''Seven through Eleven'' have been referred to by their directors, writers and their studio as GENERATIONS, FIRST CONTACT, INSURRECTION, NEMESIS and simply STAR TREK. Only the fans use the Romans for the last five. I can see doing it unofficially for the 7th-10th chapters, but since the whole point of {Chapter 11} was a reboot, and STAR TREK takes less time to type than STAR TREK 11.....
Guess I'm obsessing about it because my father was a proofreader. Anyway, so far, only the FRIDAY the 13th series has shown the integrity and the guts to officially title their films by 7s, 8s and 9s. (SAW ''7'' being SAW 3-D originally. I have a feeling PARANORMAL ACTIVITY will continue FRIDAY's proud tradition.)
Women can contribute to a list for men 18-49.
It's very chauvinist to imply they can't.
As these things go, this is a very good list, but it really does seem to be aimed more at men, most notably the disinterest in black and white. Also the resolute rejection of so-called weepers. Terms of Endearment for one could fit in. And I think one symptom, picking The Sound of Music over Cabaret.
Harvey Admiral Admiral
How is a "disinterest in black and white" indicative of gender bias? (For the record, I count 21 films on the list in black and white.)
Harvey, Apr 7, 2013
^^^Black and white means older movies. I've never heard/seen a woman reject a movie unseen for being in black and white, while I've heard/seen a number of men do so. Maybe that's some bizarre fluke in my personal experience. But sometimes you can't just wait for a scientific survey to tell you what to think.
Those of you who aren't interested in the list but some sort of weird carping aren't doing a very good job: I overlooked Terms of Endearment and that really is an error. Does that mean you lose because you missed it, or did you win because I made an error? No doubt this conundrum has to be solved in order to be a genuinely sensitive and tasteful judge of cinema
As slang, I don't think that's particularly common, but I see your point. The list is certainly slanted to the contemporary more so than the Sight & Sound poll, for example, but it doesn't seem particularly bereft of older movies (depending, of course, on how old the movies have to be to be considered "older"). By my count, only 35 films on the list were released after the year 1980, and many of the films are significantly older than that.
On the specific point of women being more accepting of older films than men, my personal experience has indicated no such difference. But, of course, YMMV.
One of the things that makes this a better (i.e., less cracked) list of best movies is that they are cautious about including every recent combined popular and critical hit that everyone can bring to mind. The reviewers tended to choose more films that have a claim to be able to stand the test of time. This list is even sensible enough that there isn't a lively discussion ragging on it for the weird choices. Even so, 35 from after 1985 is quite a lot.
1980, not 1985. From the past ten years, I think the only film on the list is Star Trek (2009). I don't think either of us would choose that film if we were one of the list-makers, but for very different reasons.
And, to split hairs, according to MSN it is a list of staff favorites, not a list of the "best" movies.
What lists do you have in mind that are flooded with recent hits rather than established classics? The lists I have in mind (AFI's 100 Years, 100 Movies; Sight & Sound's critics' and directors' polls) are just the opposite.
The kind of lists thrown done as occasional features by popular media. Or on a blog. No I can't remember an example, since those lists are so terrible for anything but tearing apart. It's true that the movies on this list are formally staff favorites, but who is interested in citing their worst taste, instead of their best? Except for a guilty pleasure list, that is. Not even Star Trek (2009) is justified on that basis.
The AFI and Sight & Sound lists are marked by an interest in films that are historically significant but not necessarily alive in popular memory. This is a perfectly valid approach of course. I posted a link to this particular list because it was a rare example of a different approach that wasn't fodder for humor. AFI or Sight & Sound lists would almost certainly include Avatar just for its role in popularizing new 3D tech, for instance.

Obama Welcomes Castro Criticism Of The United States
AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa
President Obama welcomed criticism from President Raul Castro on issues in the United State, particularly on race relations and economic inequality.
"President Castro has also addressed what he views as shortcomings in the United States around basic needs for people in poverty and inequality and race relations and we welcome that constructive dialogue as well," Obama says. "Because we believe that when we share our deepest beliefs and ideas with an attitude of mutual respect that we can both learn and make the lives of our people better."
Obama described the meeting with Castro earlier today as a "frank and candid" particularly on issues of human rights, but suggested that America has its own problems as well.
"I actually welcome President Castro commenting on some of the areas where he feels we're falling short because I think we should not be immune or afraid of criticism or discussion as well," he said.
Castro also demanded that the United States end the trade embargo with Cuba and return the territory from Guantanamo Bay before the two countries could expect full diplomatic relationships.
"The blockade stands as the most important obstacle. That's why its removal will be of the essence to normalize bilateral relations," Castro said. "In order to move forward towards normalization, it will also be necessary to return the territory illegally occupied by the naval base."
Obama blamed Congress for not doing enough to end the Cuban trade embargo, although he insisted there were still ways to be "flexible" under the existing law.
"Frankly, Congress is not as productive as I would like during presidential election years," he said.

Q: Apply function to every column value of each row using pandas For this dataframe :
columns = ['A','B', 'C']
data = np.array([[1,2,2] , [4,5,4], [7,8,18]])
df2 = pd.DataFrame(data,columns=columns)
df2['C']

If the difference between consecutive rows for column C is <= 2 then the previous and current row should be returned. So I'm attempting to filter out rows where difference for previous row > 2.
So expecting these array values to be returned :
    [1,2,2]

    [4,5,4]

    [7,8,18]

I'm attempting to implement this functionality using the shift function :
df2[(df2.A - df2.shift(1).A >= 2)]

The result of which is :
    A   B   C
1   4   5   4
2   7   8   18

I think need to apply function to each row in order to achieve this ?
Update :
Alternative use case :
columns = ['A','B', 'C']
data = np.array([[1,2,2] , [2,5,3], [7,8,16]])
df2 = pd.DataFrame(data,columns=columns)
df2[df2.A.diff().shift(-1) >= 2]

Returned is :
    A   B   C
1   2   5   3

but expecting
    A   B   C
1   2   5   3
1   7   8   16

so in this case expecting the next and current row to be returned as difference between 2 & 8 in
2  5   3 & 8   8   18 is > 2
Update 2 :
Edge case : if the last value being compared is < 2 then the row is ignored
columns = ['A','B', 'C']
data = np.array([[2,2,2] , [3,5,3], [5,8,16], [6,8,16]])
df2 = pd.DataFrame(data,columns=columns)

df2[df2.A.diff().shift(-1).ffill() >= 2]

returns :
A   B   C
1   3   5   3

A: I believe you need diff with shift and last NaNs replace by ffill:
a = df2[df2.A.diff().shift(-1).ffill() >= 2]
#same as
a = df2[df2.A.diff().shift(-1).ffill().ge(2)]
print (a)

   A  B   C
1  2  5   3
2  7  8  16

The highlight for Australian science in 2009 would have to be Dr Elizabeth Blackburn becoming the first Australian-born female scientist to receive a Nobel Prize. Her work in discovering telomeres and their role in ageing saw her receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine with fellow researchers Dr Carol Greider and Dr Jack Szostak.
CSIRO also scored big in 2009 when they reached a settlement with a number of companies regarding the use of its patented Wi-Fi technology. The organisation received more than $200 million in licensing fees and its creator, Dr John O'Sullivan, received the Prime Minister's Science Prize.

As the world celebrated the 400th anniversary of Galileo pointing a telescope to the night sky and 40 years since Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon, the most viewed story in 2009 was about our impending doom: a French study found there is a 1% chance Jupiter will kick start a game of 'planetary snooker' in the next five billion years.
This year astronomers admitted they were baffled as to why the giant red star Betelgeuse is rapidly shrinking, and NASA scientists predicted the current solar minimum to be the quietest in almost 100 years.
The number of planets outside our solar system continued to grow in 2009 and astronomers peered deeper into our universe than ever before.
The European Space Agency successfully launched two space telescopes to look deep into the universe, while NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into the Moon and tested its space shuttle replacement, the Ares 1 rocket.
The debate surrounding climate change reached a fever pitch in the lead up to the UN Copenhagen climate conference.
While some studies found the world is warming faster and sea levels are rising quicker than previously predicted, others found it is occurring as predicted and that glaciers and ice cover are actually growing.
Plans to reduce CO2 levels through ocean fertilisation and biochar were brought into question, while experts debated whether governments should implement a carbon tax or cap-and-trade scheme.
Australian researchers identified a strong link between the patterns in the Indian Ocean and reduced rainfall in southeastern Australia, which they believe contributed towards Victoria's Black Saturday bushfires.
Researchers suggested the dust storm that blanketed eastern Australia in September was caused by weather events a year earlier. The dust later caused an explosion of phytoplankton in the Tasman Sea.
This year geneticists identified what might cause autism, motor neurone disease, vaccine memory, brittle bones and even curly hair.
There were a number of studies questioning the use of tests for prostate, breast and cervical cancers, as well as heart disease.
Researchers also found that thunder thighs may be good for the heart, red wine prevents tooth cavities, vitamin C wards off gout and daily sex increases the number of healthy sperm men have.
Sex in the animal kingdom continues to intrigue researchers ... and readers. This year found that females of a species of Australian lizard roll over to avoid sex, chimpanzees exchange sex for food, being a desirable fruit fly comes at a cost, and male redback spiders that provide inadequate foreplay quickly become dinner.
Scientists revealed that a lack of genetic diversity could be the undoing for three Australian icons - the koala, Tasmanian devil and grey nurse shark.
They also showed being a free-range chicken doesn't guarantee a worry-free existence, the cocker spaniel is the meanest breed of dog, serotonin causes locusts to swarm, a tiny marsupial soaks up the sun like a lizard, and the true colour of the extinct moa using its DNA.
Meanwhile, palaeontologists unearthed three new species of dinosaur in outback Queensland and found the world's earliest 'willy' in Western Australia.
Nano pros and cons
The benefits of nanotechnology featured heavily in the news throughout 2009. They included nanorods for increased data storage and nanotransistors for faster quantum computing, through to gold nanospheres that cook cancer cells and vibrating iron-nickel nanodiscs that cause cancer to self-destruct.
But there were also concerns regarding the use of nanotechnology in bandages and underwear, exposure of workers in 'nanomanufacture' and the ability of nanoparticles to affect cells remotely.
During his stay on the International Space Station, Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata conducted a number of unusual experiments including, flying on a carpet, using eye drops in microgravity and wearing a pair of wash-free underwear for more than a month.
Researchers investigated ways to harness the power of hamsters running in a wheel, trained bacteria to draw on an agar plate, and grew fully-functional artificial penises that allowed dismembered rabbits to once again breed … like rabbits.

There is no requirement that U.S. employers employ Canadian citizens on any work visa for a specific period of time. Work visas are usually valid for a finite period of time, such as three years for H-1B and TN visas. However, that does not mean that the employer must continue to employ the Canadian citizen for the entire three-year period. In fact, employment may be at-will, meaning that the employer can fire, terminate and/or otherwise layoff a Canadian citizen on a work visa at any time.
In many cases, U.S. employers have the affirmative burden of filing petitions and providing supporting documentation when hiring Canadian citizens. In fact, U.S. employers owe several obligations, both to the beneficiary/employee and to the USCIS, depending on the type of work visa the Canadian citizen employee is under.
Filing a work visa petition on behalf of a Canadian citizen can be daunting for U.S. employers - especially if it is their first time. The mountain of application forms, supporting documentations, and filing fees can easily overwhelm an employer. One of the biggest concerns for U.S. employers is to ensure that they are complying with the USCIS in maintaining their obligations as petitioners of a work visa for a Canadian employee. We will briefly outline some of the general obligations that employers owe under some of the more common work visas.

NO, YOU WILL NOT CANCEL OUR BELOVED CARTOONS!! Charles Blow is obviously very mentally ill and must be permanently confined to a mental institution with daily shock treatments!!
Ronald A. Nelson COL, USA, Retired March 8, 2021 at 7:57pm
The Cancel Culture of Marxism is out to pull down all of our historic cultural landmarks and institutions... cartoons being just one in a multitude of revisionist interpretations of our past...
One needs only to review what happens to the statutes, monuments, and historical records of Nations... that fall victims to Marxist occupation to understand what is happening in America's cancel culture movement...
America has just begun to see how radical and vicious the left can be... as they tear down our monuments and remove the names of former giants in our culture and government from our schools and our minds. Such policies as renaming our military posts and ships... of erasing the names of men and women responsible for much of our Nation's past is incorrigible.
