Radamés "Juni" Figueroa tropicalizes indoor spaces and architecture by combining organic and existing materials. The artist's exploration of urban and natural settings of Puerto Rico is a form of connection, namely between the urban architecture and the larger story of North American occupation and the formation of Puerto Rico's culture, history, and identity. Speaking of the tropical planter series that he began in 2006, the artist has said, "I live and work on a tropical island and it is important for me to talk about where I come from and what I am. When I completed the first one, I was trying to make art in a pure and honest way—using materials I had at my disposal. I was an athlete since childhood. Sports played an important part in my environment and was a tool that kept me on the right track and healthy. It is a tool for many young people to stay away from the negative—in my case sports and art were the best decision I have made."
For ACE, Figueroa includes a series of works that come with instructions on how to combine discarded, used sports equipment with plants as a way to give objects another life and to harness ideas of aspiration and growth. The unfolding project is realized throughout the span of the exhibition with participation of UAlbany students.
The artists represented in ACE use sports and athletic culture to explore how youth, gender, race, promise, and identity are intertwined with athleticism. At the exhibition's core are topics of specific relevance to the university campus, reflecting the social and cultural impact of competitive sports on young athletes.
ACE draws parallels between the physicality of sports and the active process of creating art. How do athletes and artists balance their passions and self-imposed challenges with the prospect of thwarted expectations and potential failure––or conversely, the intoxicants of fame and power? What are the cultural impacts of harnessing and commodifying youthful stamina and drive? Who defines the rules of the game, and who gets to break them? What does true resilience look like? And what does the future hold for the aces of today?

A fund that will rely heavily on Russian money to invest in clean technology has raised the planned 110 million euros ($145.3 million) in capital from its two founders as it prepares to announce its first deal later this year, German co-founder Wermuth Asset Management announced Monday.
With 100 million euros from a Tatarstan government company, the fund will invest globally, but focus on companies that could benefit by selling their products — or initiating production — in Tatarstan.
«The biggest bang for the buck in clean energy is in Russia,» said Jochen Wermuth, the chief investment officer at the asset management company.
By going clean, companies here could reduce costs more drastically than their Western peers because equipment in Russia is much more outdated, which is driving up demand for new equipment, he said.
The energy intensity of Russia's gross domestic product is, according to the International Energy Agency, six times that of climatically similar Canada's.
Tatarstan is considered the best region for business, should clean technology providers set up manufacturing in the country, according to Ernst & Young and Forbes magazine, Wermuth said.
The Tatarstan Cleantech Fund expects to generate overall returns of 30 percent per annum. Its potential areas for investment include energy efficiency, waste management, electric buses, lithium-ion batteries and even food. The fund, which aims to raise another 90 million euros from outside investors by mid-summer, will seek to buy equity in small and medium-sized companies chiefly in Western Europe and the United States.
Anton Lipatov, chief of the Cleandex analytical portal on clean technology, highlighted industrial energy efficiency, energy storage, biofuel or electric cars and water management as generating the most demand worldwide. In Russia, it is also waste management, he said.
He also named renewable energy, but Wermuth said the field was of secondary importance to the fund because of the abundance of fossil fuels in Russia.
The global trend is for profit margins in clean technology to decline, as in any mature industry, Lipatov said.
The Fund is conceived for 10 years: a six-year investment period and a four-year wind-down period. The agreement to establish the fund was signed in the presence of Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Dmitry Medvedev at German-Russian government consultations in Hanover in July.

What is the SimSun font?
How can I see the SimSun font is loaded in my printer?
ZPL base desktop and tabletop printers.
The SimSun font is a Chinese (Simplified) font base on 宋体 (Song typeface) font, using GB18030 or Unicode character encoding.
It is used in conjunction with ZPL (printer command language) to print Chinese characters with Zebra printers.
This font cannot be purchased from Zebra and printers cannot be upgraded with this font in the field.
The printer models with a China (CN) power cord configuration have been loaded with SimSun font by default.
The GB18030 character set (GB18030.DAT encoding table) is also loaded in these printer configurations.
Following are ways to identify the fonts installed on your Zebra printer.
The SimSun font will not be deleted during a printer flash memory initialization.
To free up space in the memory of the printer, the font can be deleted.
Note: If the font has been removed it cannot be reloaded in the field.
Here is a sample ZPL script to use the SimSun font and GB18030 character set for printing Chinese characters.
Similar result can be achieved with Unicode character encoding.
Here is a sample ZPL script using UTF-8 encoding.


If you are in Barcelona and you would like to do a different guided tour by bike, this is your best option.
Hidden parks tour is not a classic touristic tour, is more a sport tour, with a city bike. So, make sure that you want to do some effort during the ride, otherwise this is not for you. This is the medium point between a touristic city tour and a road cycling tour with many climbs and kilometers.
Last week, a french family decided to do this tour, and as usual, we started from our shop, where we try and adjust the bikes before leaving.
We provide you with a small water bottle, and the guide also bring in his bag some tools and tubes, just in case we had some mechanical problem on the way.
From Poblenou neighbourhood we went to find the Diagonal Avenue, where we found a great bike lane that we followed until "Plaça de les Glòries" where we could contemplate de Agbar Tower, the Design Hub and the Market of Els Encants. After crossing this square, we kept on the Diagonal until we found the Marina street. This street has a bike lane on its left side with only one way, and brought us just in front of the Sagrada Família church, then we kept climbing on the same street. We always say that from this point the real climb starts.
When we arrived at the top of Marina street, we stopped a moment to drink some water and breathe before start climbing the steep section to street Mare de Déu de Montserrat, where we turned left to find the Carmel road that took us to one of the main doors of Park Güell.
Park Güel use to be very crowded, and it was that day, so we got off the bikes and followed walking until we passed the main square of the Park where they could admire the first views of the city. Then we took the side way, climbing to the "Turó de les 3 creus", the highest point in the Park, where you can see 3 crosses at the top and nice views of the city.
After that we crossed all the park, and we took the Gran Vista street that gave us good views of the non popular part of Barcelona (eastern part of Collserola mountains, and the areas of El Carmel, Guinardó, Horta, Trinitat…) and took us to the Turó del Carmel, and at the end of that way we founded the Carmel Búnkers, aircraft batteries built during the civil war and from Barcelona was defended from the fascists.
Once in the "Búnkers", they could enjoy for a while the greatest views of Barcelona. Definitely, you should see that if you come to Barcelona, and you will feel much more satisfied having reached the top by bike and your legs traction than having done it by bus and walking a few meters. Belive us, is not the same… They felt really proud about that fact and this in combination with the spectacularity of the views gave us an environment of euphoria that we really enjoyed.
After taking some pictures and being delighted we started the downhill to the shop again, much more easy way back, just relaxing and rolling easy with the smile in our faces.

"I want to give LSAT tests but no one was ready to help me neither my family nor my friends because they think that I will ruin their money and was not take any coaching, then I heard about Actualan..."

New Customs Act: Opportunities or New Challenges for Business Operators?
On 17 May 2017, the Customs Act B.E. 2560 (the Act) was published in the Royal Thai Government Gazette. The Act will become effective on 13 November 2017 (180 days from the date of publication in the Government Gazette).
1. The new members of the Appeals Committee must be appointed within 180 days from the date the new law comes into effect. The currently qualified members will remain in their positions until the new members are appointed (section 258).
2. All warehouses, bonded warehouses, godowns, other places of security, and free zones established and operated before this Act comes into effect can still operate, but they must comply with the formalities and pay fees in accordance with the new Act (section 259).
3. The transit and transshipment timeframes in the Act's section 102 paragraph 2 and section 103, respectively, will not apply to transit and transshipments per international agreements which were binding before this Act (section 260).
4. Reward sharing for offenses discovered before the Act will come into effect on 13 November 2017 but will remain subject to the current Customs Act, B.E. 2469 (section 261).
5. All future subordinate regulations under the Act must be announced within 180 days after the Act comes into effect. All subordinate announcements or regulations under the current law, the Customs Act B.E. 2469, will remain in force (to the extent that they do not contradict the new law) until new regulations are announced (sec. 262).
1. The offenses of smuggling, evasion of duty and violations of prohibitions or restrictions have been revised. The offenses of smuggling, evasion of duty and violation of prohibitions or restrictions are now categorized into three provisions. The penalty for an evasion of duty has been reduced from four times the import price plus duty to a range of a half to four times the duty shortfall and/or ten years imprisonment. While the penalty for the offense of smuggling remains four times the import price, plus duty and/ or ten years imprisonment, the penalty for a violation of prohibitions or restrictions is now a fine not exceeding THB 500,000 and/or ten years imprisonment.
2. The offense of false declaration has been revised, now dividing such an offense into three separate offenses, namely (i) the offense of providing incorrect, incomplete or mistaken information, (ii) the offense of counterfeiting a seal, signature, initial or other mark, and (iii) the offense of proceeding an incorrect Customs procedures. The offenses of providing incorrect, incomplete or mistaken information and proceeding an incorrect Customs procedures will now only be punished with fines.
3. Now, to be found guilty of an offense of duty evasion, the willful intention or negligence on the part of the importer is required. The offenses of smuggling, violation of prohibitions or restrictions, and false declaration fall under a strict liability presumption.
4. The percentage of rewards shared between customs officers and whistleblowers have been reduced and capped at five million baht. The reward for successfully reporting an offense of smuggling or importation of prohibited items has been decreased to 40% of the proceeds of the sale of the goods in question (the whistleblower receiving 20% and the customs officer receiving the other 20%), while the reward for falsely declared goods has been reduced to 20% of the proceeds of their sale and the reward for reporting a duty shortfall is reduced to 10% of the duty shortfall.
5. The burden of proof for suspected importers/exporters in Customs disputes has been raised in their favor. Now, proof beyond a reasonable doubt per the Criminal Procedure Code is required for the court to punish defendants.
6. Appeal deliberations are now required to follow a proscribed timeframe. The Appeals Committee is now required to complete its deliberation of a case within 180 days from receiving the complete appeal, which can be extended for an additional 90 days. If the committee fails to do so, the appellant has the option to file the case with the Central Tax Court.
7. Duty assessments now have a statute of limitations. Customs officials can assess a duty shortfall within three years from the date the declaration form is filed (can be extended for an additional two years in cases of necessity). However, if there is evidence that there was an intention to evade tax or duty, the statute of limitations can be extended for another five years.
8. The timeframe for a duty refund has been extended from two years from the date of importation or export to three years.
9. The time limit within which goods transits and transshipments must be exported out of Thailand is now 30 days.
10. The import and export requirements for goods consigned into certain free zone areas may receive special exemptions as specified in the relevant future Customs Director-General notification.
11. Duty surcharges are to be limited and reduced. Duty surcharges are now capped at duty shortfall amount, and can be reduced according to criteria proscribed in relevant Ministerial Regulation or Customs Director-General Regulation.
12. The timeframe for overtime goods has been reduced. The period of time imported goods remained in the custody of the customs will be deemed as "overtime goods" has been reduced from 2 months to 30 days. The Act also covers cases where neither a full import duty is paid nor a security is placed in full.
13. Customs officers will now have the power to seize and impound the property of debtors in order to recover duty in arrears without requiring a court order.
14. A five-year statute of limitations for post-clearance audit activities will be introduced.
Even though, on the surface, the amendments to the Customs Act may seem more lenient compared to the legislation currently effective, significant monetary penalties could still be laid against businesses through the civil and administrative provisions. Therefore, it would be prudent for affected businesses to initiate risk and liabilities reduction strategies in a timely manner. As the current Act provides significant incentives for officers to uncover criminal or administrative liabilities and places an unfavorable evidentiary onus upon businesses to prove that they are not guilty of the accusations against them beyond a reasonable doubt, it is probable that charges brought against businesses after the new Act comes into force will be less likely to succeed. Moreover, with the introduction of the THB 5 million limitation on rewards, a strategic allocation of working capital may save businesses from exposure to undue or reward-driven penalties. In addition, with the new statute of limitations for tax and duty reassessment, the amendments also provide a much needed degree of certainty for businesses operating in Thailand. Nevertheless, further clarification regarding the criteria used to determine an intent to evade tax or duty remains a lingering issue.
Furthermore, the revised administrative review process under the new Act may also prove advantageous for businesses undergoing litigation. Under section 112 quindecim of the present Act, the Appeals Committee's decision-making process highly inconveniences the accused party with an unpredictably lengthy process. Given this onerous procedure and duration, often the Committee's decision would in practice be final. To address this shortcoming, the new Act will now allow appellants to apply for a judicial review by a separate court if the Appeals Committee fails to complete its decision-making process within its statutorily allotted timeframe. This change is significant, not only because decision-makers will now be held answerable to the court process and judges who are neutral in the dispute. It would also set precedents to be subsequently relied upon. The implications of this change could be profound, but it would depend on whether the courts of justice will accept such appeal as court cases when the Customs Department has yet to receive a decision from the Appeals Committee. Under the current law, not only is there a lack of certainty and clarity in the post-clearance audit and appeals processes, it could also be argued that the penalties are clearly disproportionate. Therefore, by giving the court discretion under their judicial review authority to calculate criminal fines, businesses would be able to appeal against incentive-driven prosecutions. Thus, the upcoming option for judicial review, as well as other amendments, should be taken into consideration by businesses who are currently anticipating a settlement with Customs authorities to decide if and when they should settle.
Lastly, the amendments to the Act also give rise to other planning issues, such as when shipments should be imported into or exported from Thailand. Not only should businesses be aware of the new limitations and reductions of duty surcharges, but attention should also be given to the introduction of the 30-day limit on transshipments and its severe consequences. Although the impact that the new Customs Act could have on businesses operating in Thailand is yet to be seen, the Act arguably moves Thailand closer to the standards set out in the International Convention on the Simplification and Harmonization of Customs Procedures. The elimination of the reward-sharing regime and the reversed onus or proof, as well as the introduction of the post-clearance audit limitation period, should be applauded as progress towards a fairer, more transparent and more predictable international trade regime.
As of 15 November 2017, 13 Ministerial Regulations have been issued with respect to the application of the new Customs Act, including the customs valuation, criteria for minimizing customs surcharges, customs fees, as well as customs free zone and bonded warehouse.
under the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization.
customs formalities for overtime goods.
Besides the above, it is expected that a series of Royal Decrees and Ministerial and Departmental Notifications with respect to the application of the new Customs Act, covering customs criteria, condition, procedures, and formalities will be issued in the coming months.

Yesterday's class marked the second week of Pate a Choux... smack dab in the middle of a heavy schedule of restaurant trails (i.e. industry speak for day-long, hands-on interviews for internships and full time jobs).
So far, the trailing experience has been excellent. Maybe I've been extremely lucky, but I've only encountered kitchens that are almost embarrassingly welcoming: "Here's your apron... there are the gloves... dive right in... have fun!"
The prospect of a job offer notwithstanding (looking to supplement all of those classroom hours with as much practical experience as possible), any peek behind the scenes at a top kitchen or bakery is worth providing 10 hours of free labor.
...but 10 hours here and 10 hours there has made for a very busy schedule. No napping in the walk-in!
...and burning the caramel a little too.
Unfortunately, the culinary school syllabus doesn't care who was working the line until 1:00am. Pots of boiling sugar are equally unsympathetic.
Let's just say that the caramel glaze for this session's Gateau St. Honore was a little darker than I would have liked. I suppose you could argue it was deep amber. But I'm willing to admit it was borderline burned.
Bake and learn... and good to have had a practice run before tomorrow's Croquembouche, a frequent dessert atop lists of the "Hardest Desserts to Make".
A Choux pastry in which cheese is added to the dough for a savory puff. While traditional Gougeres use gruyere (a flavorful yet mild cheese that melts well), the pastries can be mixed or topped with other cheeses, and occasionally mushrooms, beef and ham are incorporated.
- Piping uniform 1" Choux.
A celebration cake named after the patron saint of bakers, Saint Honore, the bishop of Amiens.
Created by a pastry chef named Chiboust on the Rue-St. Honore in Paris around 1850, Gateau St. Honore begins with a base ring of pastry dough, either Pate Sucree and Pate Brisee. The base is covered with concentric circles of Pate a Choux to create an elevated base and then baked. The cooled shell is circled with caramel-dipped Choux that have been filled with a thick, gelatin-set pastry cream called Creme Chiboust (also known as Creme St. Honore). The cake is finished by filling the interior with decorative waves of Creme Chiboust using a specifically designed piping tip.
- Piping Choux of uniform height and width.
- Aggressively docking the pastry crust base to prevent bubbling (the dough cannot be weighted given the Pate a Choux circles).
- Making a light amber caramel to coat the Choux and to serve as an adhesive.
- Making Creme Chiboust, a mix of pastry cream, Italian meringue and gelatin.
- Piping with a Chiboust piping tip.

When it comes to modern recreational activities, most of them are designed to exercise the body and let people either relax or experience the thrill with the body. There are still some recreational activities that do not follow this norm. A great example is the recreational activity involving escape rooms. Its theme is to lock people inside a room to seek for different clues that can be used to solve several puzzles in order to gain freedom. This focuses on the mind to complete the activity and very little on the body. The good news is it requires wit rather more than knowledge. Here are the reasons people are visiting escape rooms.
1.	Brain exercise – One has to use the brain in order to look for clues and try to solve the puzzles in order to escape the room. You can be sure of the great effects of such activity.
3.	Different themes – If you go to a particular recreational place, the place will look almost the same for several years until new improvements are made. You will not feel this way when visiting escape rooms. You can choose a theme that will be the most interesting for you. All you have to do is change the theme of the escape room different from the previous one.
4.	Excitement – It is normal to seek some excitement. It is within each and every one of us. Even a person who stays in a room playing computer games all the time still seeks adventure. Unfortunately, there are people who do not have the body to enjoy going to an adventure. Escape rooms are the exception. Your body will not matter much.
5.	Risk-free – There is always risk involved for various recreational activities. You can drown while swimming or diving. Physical activities can potentially cause injuries. Equipment failure with rides is very disastrous. You do not have to worry in any of these when visiting escape rooms. The room is completely safe and all items inside will not cause physical injuries.
6.	Characters – With a theme based setting, one can immerse into a role which is entirely different from the actual life. Try experiencing the life of an astronaut or a detective for a change. You can experience various lives that are not similar to your life.
7.	It is fun – You get to have fun without thinking about your job or daily life as you experience the thrill along with other people. You can visit the nearest escape anytime you like at your convenience.
You need to try visiting the escape room. Invite your friends or colleagues while you're at it. Your weekend will never be the same again. Look for one right now.

Three events in financial markets have received significant media attention in the last week: a potential Greece exit from the Eurozone, a potential default by Puerto Rico on its bond holdings, and the significant decline (after a rapid advance) in China's equity markets. The Coldstream Investment Strategy Group thought it important to cut through the "media noise" and let you know our views on these events.
As you may have heard, Greece missed a $1.7 loan billion payment to the International Monetary Fund on Tuesday. While this event and the closure of the Greek banking system are dominating news coverage this week, a $3.9 billion bond payment due to the European Central Bank on July 20 is much more important to world markets, since failure to pay would put Greece into a formal state of default. The situation remains extremely fluid, with developments coming nearly hourly. It is unlikely that current negotiations will lead to an agreement prior to a scheduled July 5 referendum, which will indicate whether the public will accept further austerity in order to stay in the Eurozone. Since the current government was elected on an anti-austerity platform, it may collapse if the referendum passes or if a deal on further spending cuts and tax increases is struck in the meantime.
After living well beyond its means in the 2000s, Greece now faces an unpleasant choice: agree to additional austerity and receive a new bailout package or default on its debt and exit the Eurozone. It is difficult to see how Greece could default and remain on the Euro, and Greece's creditors are not going to simply absolve it of its debt. The odds of these outcomes are continually changing and difficult to assess, but in either case we see limited impact to investment markets. Greece has been a "slow-motion train wreck", which has given regulators and financial institutions five years to prepare for a default or restructuring. Unlike in 2011, the vast majority of Greek debt is now held by the ECB, the IMF, hedge funds, and other agents that do not pose a systemic risk to the European or global banking systems. The ECB has also taken extraordinary measures to provide liquidity, including a recently implemented quantitative easing program. We also note that Greece makes up only 1.5% of the European Union's GDP and is a smaller economy than the state of Missouri.
While Greece gives the global markets and the media something to fret over, this situation pales in comparison to the 1997 Asian currency crisis, the 1998 Russian debt default, or the US housing and financial meltdown of 2008. We are advising clients to look past the noise and focus on elements we can control, such as building diversified portfolios, creating appropriate goals for return and risk, and planning for cash flow needs and major life events. These factors, far more than any one country or market, govern the long-term success of our portfolios.
On Sunday, the Governor of Puerto Rico declared the territory's debt of more than $70 billion to be unpayable. Standard & Poors downgraded the territory debt to CCC- from CCC+, which implies Puerto Rican investments are highly speculative and likely to default. The origins of Puerto Rico's unmanageable debt stem from a decade of climbing public sector deficits amidst declining economic growth, a situation that was magnified by the 2008 recession. Public sector debt for the island is over 100% of Puerto Rico's GDP. Should Puerto Rico default, it would be the 3rd largest sovereign default in modern history behind Greece and Argentina.
As a United States territory, Puerto Rico does not have the ability to claim Chapter 9 bankruptcy, which is reserved for municipalities in assisting a restructuring of debts. For instance, Detroit was able to use Chapter 9 in their much publicized 2013 restructuring. Thus, the exact form that any debt restructuring would take is yet to be determined.
We do not currently believe the Puerto Rican crisis will lead to meaningful contagion to the broader municipal bond market. However, there is a possibility that the price of high yield municipal bonds may experience temporary fluctuations, especially the bonds of a few financially troubled states and municipalities (e.g. Chicago). Our view stems from the fact that most municipalities have improved their balance sheets since 2008; unfortunately, Puerto Rico has not. In addition, Puerto Rican bonds have declined over 8% year to date, while the broader S&P High Yield Municipal index is up 0.58% for the same period. We continue to monitor the situation closely and will let you know if our views change.
From 2003 until recently, real estate in China rapidly appreciated. For example, prices for homes in Shanghai increased by 150% in 10 years, and housing rose to 20% of China's GDP. Last year, the Chinese government imposed a series of policies that made real estate investing difficult, and subsequently eased restrictions on stock market investing. As a result, real estate prices declined, and an equity bubble replaced the property bubble. By the middle of June, the index of stocks on the Shanghai exchange increased over 160% in one year, making the market cap of China's equities second only to the market cap of US equities. As of Monday, June 29, China's equity market had dropped over 20% in less than one week as the government imposed stricter margin requirements on investors.
Some fear that a collapse in China's stock market could impact China's consumer spending, resulting in a significant slowdown to its economy and negatively impacting global growth. Our view is that movements in China's stock market are significantly influenced by government policy. We witnessed this on Tuesday, June 30th when the government lowered a key interest rate and the equity market rebounded from its lows. If Chinese stocks reverse course again and a dramatic decline re-occurs, we anticipate that the government will either lower key interest rates again, ease margin requirements or take some other action in order to spur its equity market. While we do have concerns about the slowing pace of China's economic growth, we do not see China's domestic stock market as a source of global financial instability currently.

Piece of Work
The Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham, Tuesday 16th November, 2021
Colin Higgins's 1980 film came out when the world of work was very different. The story of three secretaries who take on their sexist boss and change working conditions within a corporation now plays out like a period piece. One of the film's stars, Dolly Parton, provides the songs for this stage musical adaptation, introduces the action and gives a bit of narration via video. Video Dolly even sings the opening number, the famous title song, with the entire company joining in. It's a rousing start and the best song in it.
Things soon slow down as characters are introduced. And they each must get their solo, slowing down the action. The women's revenge fantasies about their sleazy boss become reality and what should be fast-paced farce is hampered by more songs and soul-searching.
Leading the cast is Louise Redknapp, flexing her comedy chops as Violet, the most straight-laced of the trio. Redknapp is in good voice and gives an assured performance while Stephanie Chandos's Doralee Rhodes inevitably channels Dolly P, to amusing effect. Funniest of the three is Vivian Panka as new girl Judy, whose sweetness and naivete are swept aside when events get out of control. When all three sing together, the harmonies are wonderful. It sounds like Redknapp has found herself another girl band!
As the sleazeball Mr Hart for this performance, Richard Taylor Woods is deliciously abhorrent, although perhaps he's too fit for the role. Give Hart a beer belly and a combover to make him thoroughly repugnant, I say! This would certainly heighten the contrast between Hart and Violet's handsome love interest, Joe (Russell Dickson).
Julia J Nagle is in excellent form in a show-stealing portrayal of the sexually frustrated office snitch Roz, with a hilarious song about her lust for the boss. It's a pity Roz is exiled for most of the second act.
But no matter how expertly the musical numbers are staged and how energetically they are performed by the hugely talented cast, what we get is a stop-start farce with some very funny scenes, interrupted by introspective songs that are tonally at odds with the comedy. What it has to say about sexual equality and harassment in the workplace has been, largely, overtaken by the real world, so the piece is no longer a clarion call. The women resort to kidnap to get their way, reminding us that many of our rights have been fought for by direct, often criminal, action. Think of the Suffragettes. And Stonewall.
Not every film has to be adapted into a musical. This one would work just as well, if not better, as a play.

Q: 2D Segment and Infinite Line Intersection Algorithm
I am trying to build logic to detect when lines might intersect by extending only one of the lines.
Here, we have have segments. A, B, C, D, E, F. Each segment will have "Two Points".
We always need to compare two segments. One can be extended and the other is constant in its current state.
if we compare A to C, we would get "false".
if we compare B to C, we would get "true"
if we compare D to C,  we would get "false" since no matter how long you can extend D, it will still not intersect C
if we compare E to C,  we would get "false" since no matter how long you can extend E, it will still not intersect C
if we compare F to C,  we would get "true"
The below image is just an illustration of extending .

A: I think you are looking for this:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var A = new Segment(Point.Cartesian(1, 1), Point.Cartesian(5, 2));
        var B = new Segment(Point.Cartesian(7, 2), Point.Cartesian(7, 4));

        if (A.AsRay.Intersect(B, out var point))
        {
            Console.WriteLine(point);
            // (7, 2.5)
        }
    }

To make it happen in a way that makes sense to me I had to implement the following classes
Vector.cs
public readonly struct Vector

    public Vector(double uX, double uY) : this()
    {
        UX=uX;

Some notable capabilities are:

*

*Point.Intersect(Line g, Line h, out Point point) find the intersection of two infinite lines.

*Line.TryJoin(Point p, Point q, out Line line) find line the joins two points.

*Line.DistanceAlong(Point point) distance along a line from the origin (point on line closest to coordinate origin) to the target point.

*Line.Project(Point target)  find the point on line closest to target point.

*Line.Contains(Point point) check if a point lies on the line (within tolerance).

*Ray.Contains(Point point) check if a point lies on the ray and is in the direction the ray defines.

*Ray.Intersect(Segment target, out Point point) check if ray intersects a segment and returns the point of intersection.

[By John Rotonti]
Rotonti: Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH) recently named a new CEO. Does this change your investment thesis in the company?
Allen: No. Cognizant's consulting and outsourcing model is benefiting from the increasing importance of technology spending and the scarcity of skilled tech labor, which should allow the company to generate high-single-digit revenue growth for many years. Francisco D'Souza has been the CEO since 2007 and was a co-founder of the company in 1994. After a successful tenure, he's ready to retire and we wish him all the best. The board conducted a thorough search process and selected Brian Humphries from Vodafone Business, who will bring a fresh perspective to the company.

Rotonti: Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ:CDNS) is a company I've been researching, and it's currently one of my high-conviction ideas. I like the company because it has a long-term focused CEO who owns about $100 million in company stock. Cadence also has net cash of $88 million, organic growth driven by the long-term trend toward digitization, improving return on assets (ROA) and return on invested capital (ROIC), and massive free cash flows (FCF) with a five-year average FCF/net income of 1.72 and average FCF margins of 21%. According to S&P Global, in 2018 Cadence generated a ROIC of 15% and used an appropriate amount of debt, which helped boost returns on equity (ROE) to 30%. Importantly, it has a culture of investing in R&D which has led to 20 new product releases in only the last three years. Is there anything else Parnassus likes about Cadence that I'm missing, and can you briefly describe what Parnassus likes from an ESG perspective?
