Editor Pick: Amerie "I Just Died"
May 3, 2010 | Editor Picks
Since I first heard Amerie's debut album "All I Have," I have been in love with it! I mean, it's a beautiful album that flows amazingly from start to finish and has an old school r&b sound that was just like nothing else in its time. I picked to highlight "I Just Died," but I could have easily picked any song from the album to showcase and it would have been no different. Did you like this album as much as I did?

All I Have is my favorite album of all times! "I Just Died" is very catchy.. and it's so amazing. And different from anything out there. All I Have is a true classic, every song on it is good and I even after 9 years it still sounds fresh & new. It will never get old!

It's definitely one of my favorite of all time as well. One of those that you can really just put in and listen to from start to finish. The album had such a fresh sound when it came out, it wasn't like anything I'd heard in r&b for awhile. Great album!

The Gulf Coast Mental Health Center (Center) received an award of $2.1 million from the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grantee, for damages resulting from Hurricane Katrina, which occurred in August 2005. Our audit objective was to determine whether the Center accounted for and expended FEMA funds according to Federal regulations and FEMA guidelines. The Center generally accounted for and expended FEMA funds according to Federal regulations and FEMA guidelines. However, we identified $61,200 of duplicate benefits for costs recoverable from another source. This amount represented about 4 percent of the $1.4 million we reviewed for five projects.


The term "assault" has many definitions and covers a very broad range of crimes. It can be vaguely defined as when one person injures or tries to injure another person. Depending on the type of assault, it can be charged as a misdemeanor to a felony with varying penalties. Under Ohio law, you don't even have to "try" to assault someone to face criminal charges. You can also face serious penalties when you don't harm anyone.
The most basic form of assault is simple assault which is a first degree misdemeanor or third, fourth, or fifth degree felony but can carry up to six months of jail time and a $1,000 fine. This involves recklessly causing serious injury or harm to someone or knowingly causing or attempting to cause physical harm to another person. This falls under the category of not intending to injure someone.
Negligent assault is the least serious of all the assaults. It is still a third degree misdemeanor and carries up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. A person charged with this type of assault is believed to be negligent when carry a deadly weapon that can cause someone else serious physical harm. For example, people who hunt are often found to be charged with negligent assault if they injure someone.
The most serious assault is felony assault. This is a second degree felony and carries anywhere from two to eight years of jail time and up to $20,000 in fines. A person could face this charge if they cause serious harm to an unborn child or cause or attempt to cause harm with the use of a deadly weapon. This means someone does not have to actually cause the injury, only an attempt to injure is enough to be charged with a felony assault.
Aggravated assault is similar to felony assault but with an added twist. In order to be aggravated, the assault must be done "under the influence of sudden passion or in a fit of rage". If charged with aggravated assault, the courts usually are more lenient when handing down penalties since they understand that most people do not act irrationally unless provoked by passion. Also depending on the particular case, an experienced criminal defense attorney may be able to claim self-defense if they can prove the degree of force used was necessary in proportion to the amount threatened against you. Aggravated assault can carry anywhere from 18 months to six years of jail time and $5,000 in fines.
If you have been charged with any type of assault, contact an attorney at DiCaudo, Pitchford & Yoder today.


Answering the question, "What's your writing process?"
It's one of the questions that I'm most frequently asked. I explain to people that my writing process best described as sponge-like. Let me explain.
I'm constantly absorbing material, whether it's blog posts, videos, podcasts, books, or actual in-person conversations. (Remember those?) More often than not, that material tends involve data, management, technology, and people. (See tagline of this site.) It's not as if I read a great deal about 17th-century French poetry, reality television, or life in Madagascar. There's a high degree of overlap between what I read and what I write. Finally, it doesn't hurt that I speak about these topics.
Let's just say that the contents of my brain are not equally distributed.
The contents of my brain are not equally distributed.
Eventually, the sponge gets full. It can't hold any more water and I have to squeeze it. Keeping with the metaphor, out comes a book in a relatively short period of time. It's not that I sit down to do research; it's that I have been been doing the research for awhile.
Different writers follow different processes, and one way is not fundamentally better than any other. Stephen Johnson writes 500 words per day, every day. It works for him and I really enjoy his books.
For me, though, the sponge method feels right. It's natural and intuitive and I can't see setting arbitrary floors and ceilings on how much I write per day.

Having kids during residency? in med school?
I'm starting medical school in the fall (super early to be asking this question, I know), and I realized that I know very little about the work-family balance that comes with being a doctor.
My significant other and I are really interested in having kids someday, and he really wants to have one while I'm in medical school. I'm reticent to do that because 1) it would obviously interfere with my studying and 2) i'm concerned that it'll put a damper on my social life and flexibility. (I'm a traditional applicant, he's finishing up his masters program in computer science so we're both quite young).
We discussed starting a family while I'm in residency too, but I know I'll be working crazy hours and I have no idea how I could be pregnant during then, much less be an involved mother.
But if I wait until after residency, I could easily be into my 30s depending on the field I choose to pursue and starting a career. It really doesn't seem like there's ever a good time to start a family, which is disappointing.
Any and all advice is welcome, I'm particularly curious to hear from female residents or female medical students and/or their spouses that have any personal experience. (Sadly, I only ever had the chance to shadow male doctors married to non-doctors.) When do you think is the most opportune time to be pregnant/have a child as a woman in the medical field?
As you noted, there isn't really a good time unless you take a year off for research or something. There aren't one times that are worse though. I would not have child in the months before Step 1, which will be one of the more crucial points in your career I found you're shooting for dor a compeitive field. I'd also advise against being pregnant during the interview season sure to potential bias. Pregnancy during residency will depend on both of the field and the specific program. For some people it isn't too bad, for others they say that it was the worst time of their lives.
I personally think the sweet spot is during spring of your fourth year. If you can have a baby around February or March you'll be able to have several months of a relatively easy schedule before starting residency when things will pick up very quickly.
Thank you so much for your input! Do MS4s finish interviews by spring of their 4th year? I was under the impression interviews went on into the spring for some fields. Also, if you don't mind me asking, did you or your partner go through this personally?
Match day is in mid-March, so there are no interviews after that. Residency typically starts July 1 for most programs. So an early April birth date is pretty ideal imo (what we tried to do). We did. I tried to convince my wife to wait until after intern year, but she was insistent on trying earlier so we tried for spring of M4. Missed and had a kid 4 weeks into my intern year. Definitely would not recommend that timing, lol.
Med school, definitely. The earlier the better. The first two years are all lecture/group and you can watch lecture videos from home if you need to. Most importantly, your maternity leave inconveniences nobody but yourself. If you have a baby early in your first year the kid could be nearing two by the time you hit the first hard clinical time commitment in third year. That's gold because it's a heck of a lot easier to arrange care for a two year old than an infant.
maternity leave will mess up your rotation schedule, and also you will just be made to feel bad/guilty all the time for needing accommodations.
Next best could be early or mid-fourth year. Fourth year is pretty low-key and a good time to have a baby. The downside is you will have to be pregnant during third year which could be rough, especially if you are throwing up a lot or have any medical complications. The other downside is the baby is still pretty young when you head into intern year of residency, which is likely the toughest year of clinical training.
Fourth year baby works better if you take a fifth year, like to do research or a master's in public health or something, or else just a gap year to chill with your baby.
Definitely do not want to enter intern year with a young infant, deliver an infant during intern year, or even really be pregnant during intern year if you can avoid it. The next best opportunity is probably 3rd or 4th year of residency depending on what field you choose. Easier if it's derm, rads, or psych than if it's neurosurgery or gen surg. Some residencies have a built-in research year, that's a pretty good time to have a baby.
After residency is very variable. Although you'll still be young if you go straight through, it can be hard to start a new job and then have to take maternity leave off the bat, before you've built up any credibility or vacation time or know people well enough to get them to cover for you. This is very specialty- and job-dependent though.
The bottom line is that clinical care is inflexible and demanding and totally incompatible with the also inflexible and demanding needs of a young infant. The best times to have a baby are therefore the times when you have the least clinical responsibility. First two years of med school, fourth year of med school, and possibly research or light-duty years late in residency if applicable to your specialty. If you are in the unusual position of being economically and psychosocially ready to have a baby at the start of med school, I'd suggest you take the opportunity. Remember, sleep deprivation is easier on the young.
End of first year/beginning of second year, end of fourth year like mentioned above, near the end of residency. Much also depends on what specialty you go into. Like surgery probably is not good time. Psychiatry can pretty much do it after intern year. I can think of 6 that have had babies. One was intern year.
You're super young so you can be kind of specific in your timing. Like Jrod said, end of first year -- and if the timing is too close to start of 2nd year then wait. If you want to do a super competitive specialty, it might make your application weaker but also might not, lots of parents do really well in med school even with young babies. You could also consider aiming for residency in states with better maternity leave or programs that offer it as benefits. And another thing to consider is that most people like to have their kids fairly close together (like not a 10 year gap) so once you get started, you might want more so make sure you're thinking of multiple kids not just one! Feel free to PM if you want.
My advice is honestly to do what you want!
I got pregnant during my senior year of undergrad after I was accepted to two medical schools. Since my son was due in the middle of the fall semester, I decided to defer admission for a year. Now I'm in my first year of medical school and am pregnant again, due early July. We decided to try for a second baby during the summer between first and second year because it's pretty much the only summer we get. It's not for everyone, but I honestly love being a mother in medical school. I can't speak to how other times might be better, but for me, having kids early in medical school has been great. At my campus, we have about 60 students and 6 of us are mothers, one is a father. A number of my classmates have shared with me that they're considering having a baby third or fourth year. I made my decision based on when would be the easiest time to have a small maternity leave, but I hear stories about women who give birth in the middle of the semester and still find a way to make it happen (not something I would super recommend, but just saying it can be done).
How much/what kind of support do I have?
This is the biggest thing in my opinion. Having your parents or other trustworthy babysitters nearby makes a huge difference. My husband and I moved in with my parents for medical school. They love seeing their grandson everyday and I love that we have someone to turn to when we need a break. This is true during any phase of having children and a career, but it's something that really helps when you have a test to study for and you need childcare in the evening.
What are your goals in medical school?
I made a decision that I was okay with not aiming for the super competitive specialties so I could have more time with my family. Since I'm a part of a pass/fail curriculum, I like that I don't have to worry about racing to the top of the class. I put in solid work, and then I go home to my family, and I feel good about it. But if you're a super competitive type, you might struggle more with those decisions, and you might want to wait until you reach some of those goals first.
Are you required to be in class every day all day? What's your partner's schedule like? You might hear stories of people studying 15 hours a day and stories of people studying way less. Your experience will be unique. For our second baby, I decided to start first year, see how the first few months went, and then decided to try to get pregnant because I felt like a second baby would be good. You might feel like it's easier to make a decision once you've started school and see what your daily life is like.
That's the cliff notes version of how I feel about being a mom in medical school. I don't want to overshare but I love talking about motherhood so feel free to message me if you want to talk more!

AMC Rises on Onex Talks
The two movie theater chains discuss a business combination.
TSC Staff
Nov 19, 2003 4:12 PM EST
( AEN) and rival movie theater chain Lowes Cineplex Entertainment, a unit of
Onex Corp.
(ONEXF)
, are in preliminary discussion about a business combination, the companies said Wednesday.
Recently, AMC shares were up 41 cents, or almost 3%, to $14.46. The company operates 232 movie theatres in the U.S. and eight other countries.
In the quarter ended Oct. 2, the Kansas City, Mo.-based company lost $4.1 million, or 11 cents a share, on revenue of $438 million, compared with a loss of $8 million, or 22 cents a share, on sales of $451 million a year ago.
Odeon's parent Onex is one of Canada's largest conglomerates with $23 billion in revenue last year. Its entertainment group, which includes the Odeon chain, operates 260 theaters in the U.S, Canada and several other countries. Third quarter operating earnings rose almost 19% to $36 million on revenue of $325 million.
Neither company had further comment on the talks in their news releases.

The leader of France's main employers' organisation, Laurence Parisot, has launched an attack on the enduring sexism in French society in the wake of the scandal involving IMF head Dominique Strauss Kahn.
In an outspoken interview with Le Parisien, Parisot has revealed her own personal struggles with sexism as well as spelling out how she thinks France should deal with the issue.
The bosses' boss, as she is known in France, believes that the affair involving the former IMF boss and a hotel maid is a critical turning point for France. She hopes the issue "will help free speech. The French may be clear on human rights, but they have neglected the issue of equality between the sexes."
In the interview, in which she denounces the behaviour of male politicians, businessmen and even sexist advertising campaigns, she claims "it's vital that we denounce sexism. It's a kind of racism, just like there is against blacks, jews and muslims."
51-year old Parisot has been head of the main employers' organisation in France since 2005. She recently won a second term after being uncontested in the election and winning 94 percent of the vote.
She told the newspaper that "after the Dominique Strauss Kahn affair, the small group of women who work at Medef got together and talked about our own experiences, both personal and professional. We'd never spoken about these issues before."
She even recounted how her very first job interview turned out to be a dinner invitation and that the dinner was "difficult to deal with but I managed to put up a good defence".
Parisot rejects the claims of some in France that Americans are too puritanical. "Relations between the sexes are clear in the US, but still very blurred here".
She said she hopes the subject will become a key issue in next year's presidential election. While she doesn't think it should be the only criteria, she thinks a female President would be a good thing.
Her proposals to fight sexism include a powerful ministry of women and longer paternity leave.

Q: How to simplify a single complex UIBezierPath polygon in iOS Problem:
I have a user generated polygon (via registering user's touches on screen) which can be simple or complex (complex means having unknown number of intersections) and I want to have a simple polygon resulting from the same points on the original polygon, something like an outline or a contour if you will.

Possible solutions:
I have found this, but it is a JavaScript solution and this is a perfect illustration of what I need but in ActionScript! I don't need the Path itself, the points will suffice.
How would you approach such problem?
Update:
As I was looking further around, I have seen a few people suggesting that the solution is using a Convex Hull algorithm on the points, but, convex hull is not the answer here because if I'm right the result will be  as follows:

A: The operation you are describing is a union.  Generally, computing the union of a set of polygons is somewhat complicated.  Doing so efficiently and accurately is more complicated. iOS doesn't provide a public API for this operation.
I suggest you look into using an existing C or C++ library to do it for you.  Here are some:

*

*Clipper (Boost license)

*Boost Geometry (Boost license)

*General Polygon Clipper (Free for non-commercial use; has an Objective-C wrapper already)

There are others you can find from links off of those pages or using your favorite search engine.  Useful search terms include "polygon", "geometry", "union", and "clipping".
UPDATE
I understand that you're just drawing one polygon.  Nevertheless, in the case of the Clipper library at least, the union operation does what you're asking for:

The polygon on the white background is the star I created by tapping.  It intersects itself.    I used Clipper's union operation to create the polygon on the green background.  I passed the tapped-out polygon as the subject with no clip polygons:
- (UIBezierPath *)pathWithManyPoints:(CGPoint const *)points count:(NSUInteger)count {
    Path subject;
    for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < count; ++i) {
        subject << IntPoint(points[i].x, points[i].y);
    }

    Clipper clipper;
    clipper.AddPath(subject, ptSubject, true);
    Paths solutions;
    clipper.Execute(ctUnion, solutions, pftNonZero, pftNonZero);

    UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
    for (size_t i = 0; i < solutions.size(); ++i) {
        Path& solution = solutions[i];
        if (solution.size() > 0) {
            [path moveToPoint:cgPointWithIntPoint(solution[0])];
            for (size_t j = 1; j < solution.size(); ++j) {
                [path addLineToPoint:cgPointWithIntPoint(solution[j])];
            }
            [path closePath];
        }
    }

    return path;
}

On the other hand, given a more complex input polygon, there are a couple of ways you might want to modify it:

The simple (single) union gives you back a polygon with a hole in it.  If you want no holes in the output, you need to take the individual loops (subpaths) output by the initial union, orient them all the same way, and then take a second union of all the oriented loops.  That's how I computed the "deep union" polygon on the orange background:
- (UIBezierPath *)pathWithManyPoints:(CGPoint const *)points count:(NSUInteger)count {
    Path subject;
    for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < count; ++i) {
        subject << IntPoint(points[i].x, points[i].y);
    }

    Clipper clipper;
    clipper.AddPath(subject, ptSubject, true);
    Paths intermediateSolutions;
    clipper.Execute(ctUnion, intermediateSolutions, pftNonZero, pftNonZero);

    clipper.Clear();
    for (size_t i = 0; i < intermediateSolutions.size(); ++i) {
        if (Orientation(intermediateSolutions[i])) {
            reverse(intermediateSolutions[i]);
        }
    }
    clipper.AddPaths(intermediateSolutions, ptSubject, true);
    Paths solutions;
    clipper.Execute(ctUnion, solutions, pftNonZero, pftNonZero);

    UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
    for (size_t i = 0; i < solutions.size(); ++i) {
        Path& solution = solutions[i];
        if (solution.size() > 0) {
            [path moveToPoint:cgPointWithIntPoint(solution[0])];
            for (size_t j = 1; j < solution.size(); ++j) {
                [path addLineToPoint:cgPointWithIntPoint(solution[j])];
            }
            [path closePath];
        }
    }

    return path;
}

Clipper also has a SimplifyPolygon function that produces the same result for the star example, perhaps with less code.  I don't know what it produces for the second example (with the interior hole).  I didn't try it.
You can download my self-contained test app from this github repository.

A: To use the JavaScript code you can check this answer:

The Objective-C interface in the JavascriptCore framework introduced
  with iOS 7 permits calling Objective-C methods from Javascript.  For a
  great intro to these features, check out the 2013 WWDC introduction
  "Integrating JavaScript into Native Apps" session on Apple's developer
  network: https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2013/?id=615

It mentions JS->Objective-C but JSCore also works the other way around.
Otherwise as someone suggested it should be fairly easy to "translate" the JS code as it would just be mathematical calculations.

A: With a little thought:

*

*find the leftmost vertex. It's definitely on the boundary. Start there;

*look along the current edge towards the next listed vertex;

*check if any of the other edges intersect the one you're looking along;

*if so then find the first vertex in front of your current position and move to it;

*repeat from (2) with the edge you just transitioned onto;

*continue until you get back to the vertex at (1).

(and see the comment re: an erroneous earlier comment I'd made about getting the path out of a UIBezierPath)

Hi. I ordered and received a laptop charger from you on Friday. However it does not work. How can I return and get a replacement. Thank you.
can I email you - I have just got my order 2161652 - but the power pack has a too small plug in - so is not compatible with my radio. Could I return this and order another with a bigger plug in point?


If you believe in the myths that surround some of our most famous and beloved creators — Einstein, Jobs, or Edison, for example — you're setting yourself up for failure.
Tim Sanders spent most of his early career on the cutting edge of innovation and change. He was on the ground floor of the quality movement, the launch of cellular phones and most notably the world wide web.
He was an early stage member of Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner's broadcast.com, which had the largest opening day IPO in history. After Yahoo acquired the company, Tim was tapped to lead their ValueLab, which enabled sales teams to close hundreds of millions of dollars of new business.
By 2001, he rose to the position of Chief Solutions Officer and later, the company's Leadership Coach. In 2005, he founded Deeper Media, which conducts research and provides consulting and training services for leading brands, trade associations and government agencies. Today, he is one of the top rated speakers on the lecture circuit. His focus is on sales strategy, leadership, collaboration and innovation.
Tim is the author of four books, including the New York Times bestseller Love Is the Killer App: How To Win Business & Influence Friends. It's been translated into over a dozen languages and has been featured in Fast Company, USA Today, the New York Times, The Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor and on CNN. His other books include Today We Are Rich, The Likeability Factor, Saving the World at Work and his most recent book on sales collaboration, Dealstorming: The Secret Weapon That Can Solve Your Toughest Sales Challenges.
Tim Sanders: There are myths of creativity and these myths are usually propagated by people that have romantic notions about heroes, romantic notions about eureka moments. And these myths of creativity keep people from collaborating and it causes them to be a lone wolf. And the research says it causes them to fail. So let me talk a little bit about those myths of creativity. In the world of sales and marketing, I battle against three myths. Myth number one — the lone inventor. This is very dangerous because there is no such thing as a lone inventor. As a matter of fact, there's a lot of historical research that has debunked [Albert] Einstein specifically in terms of inventions. Henry Ford. Not a lone inventor. A classic example — Thomas Edison. In the invention community, Thomas Edison is a brand. It stands for 14 people. Yes there was a figurehead named Thomas Edison. His name is on 10,000 patents. He did not invent a single thing. He marshaled people together and knew how to spot innovations and put people together like a creative soup, if you will. Here's a classic example. Steve Jobs. You ask the average person, say a millennial who uses a lot of Apple technology, who's one of the greatest inventors of our time? They'll say Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs once said I never created anything. All I did was notice patterns and put people together to finish projects. So think about it. If he doesn't have [Steve] Wozniak, there is no original Apple, right. If he doesn't have [Jony] Ive, there is no iPod. If he doesn't have Tony Fadell, there is no iPhone and the list goes on and on. Got a good friend of mine, David Burkus, who wrote a really wonderful book about the myths of genius. And he was telling me that it's a romantic notion. And I remember when I first read this research years ago, "No Lone Inventor," it did kind of hurt my feelings.
I'm a musician in my past. I thought I wrote a lot of songs, but according to the research I never wrote a song. I always collaborated with somebody. The song that actually made it to the record or made it on the radio had 15 to 50 hands on it. When I talked to David, I said, "When I read your research, it kind of hurt my feelings." And he goes, "It's a romantic notion because we want to be heroes." We want to be as empowered as Ayn Rand. We want to think that we are The Fountainhead so this is how we tell the story. But until you believe that genius is a team sport, you will never give up control. And this is the problem for a lot of people in sales. They don't want to seed any level of control over their process to somebody outside of sales world because they don't value those voices enough. But the research is clear on this. Miller Heiman Institute researched the difference between good and great. They call it world-class organizations. They win. They sell 20 percent more than their nearest competitor. The only thing they have in common is they've broken this myth and they understand that every deal is about rapid problem solving and no one person can solve the problem on their own. Quickly the other two myths of creativity that must be dispelled is the eureka moment. There is no such thing as a big idea that changes the world. I know this is another one of those hurtful, but very true based on empirical research, points. There are little ideas that combine with other little ideas that improve themselves into game-changing ideas. And I've experienced this personally by who I consider one of the authorities on creativity, Ed Catmull, president of Pixar. I remember standing backstage a few years ago just gushing to him about John Lasseter, his VP of creative. I'm like, he's the bomb. This is the guy who wrote Wall-E, the commercial. This is the guy that wrote the script for Toy Story, you know, telling the story from the toys point of view. And I remember Catmull looked at me, cut me off and not to dismiss Lasseter, he said Toy Story was a problematic idea from the start. Make an entire full-length feature film inside a computer. Do you understand how hard that is from a rendering-time standpoint?
Make the characters as human as human. They didn't even have facial control or technology at the time for this. And tell the story from the toys' point of view when we've never historically had a toy have any narrative for us to draw on. Catmull explained that nine months in, they shut the film down after a meeting with Disney. They called it Black Friday. And the Catmull said something to me that shattered the myth of the eureka moment. Catmull said Toy Story, the movie you saw, was a thousand problems solved. And it was like a bolt of lightning. I was like I get it. When you do a million dollar deal in an ad agency, it's not a big idea; it's a hundred problems solved; 80 of them are inside your agency. As you move through every level of that sale, you get obstacles in front of you. And what this means is that if we no longer depend on the big idea to fall out of the sky and change the world, we meet more, we think more, we research more, we settle with small pieces of progress that add up to momentum. Finally, the third myth of genius or creativity that must be shattered if you want to be more collaborative is the myth of the expert. Now I believe in involving people in a dealstorm who we think are experts on the problem space. But if you notice, I don't want experts on the solution space. Because most of the great solutions to vexing problems come from the edges of a domain, you know. People that don't know what they don't know. So they're not limited by these false constraints that hold people back that are in the middle of this subject. So the way I like to think about it is if you could talk to a fish — if you could; if the fish could respond; if it could — and you walked up to a fish in a fishbowl and you ask the fish, "How's the water?" The fish would look at you puzzled and ask you, "What's water?" And that's the problem with experts. People that are so steeped in the domain they don't have the expansive perspective that allows them to recognize patterns and convergence. Because every invention, every solution is really about pattern or convergence recognition. And so it's really important for us to follow the following mantra in collaboration. Ideas can come from anywhere.
As a matter of fact in Dealstorming, that is one of my four key ground rules. It's just as important as stay on agenda and don't distract the person next to you. Because the problem with the myth of expert is it leads to not invented here dismissal of good ideas. So when you're in a dealstorm meeting and someone who's on the edge of the domain — I'll just give you an example. Someone out of finance that generally handles something as mundane as revenue recognition. They come to one of your meetings because you have a problem related to how you recognize the revenue of this deal or whatever. And you're in the middle of this conversation about packaging and they come up with a really novel way to think about how it's built. You might look at that person and say you don't know anything about billing sales. You're just a revenue recognition analyst. We know billing and sales. You're about to shut him down for the rest of the meeting. And what you don't understand is that he may have an educational background. He may have had previous jobs. He may have a significant other that is steeped in the billing expertise and he's drawing upon all of that. The minute you tell someone only experts can weigh in with ideas, everyone who's not an expert stops contributing. In my experience, it breaks down collaboration.
There are three specific myths that surround our most beloved creators, and if you model yourself on those myths, you're setting yourself up for failure. The myths are (1) the lone wolf inventor; (2) the eureka moment; (3) the myth of the expert. From new theories of physics and revolutionary patents to Toy Story and the iPhone, creators depend on their ability marshal the talent of large teams of people. Yet despite the readily available evidence that we tend to romanticize innovation, myths persist because we love telling stories in narrative form.

Georgia Broadband Deployment Initiative Successfully Utilizes Data for Effective Decision Making
On June 30, the issues of our statewide digital divide were illustrated with the release of the Georgia Broadband Availability map. This mapping initiative is a key component of our strategic purpose. Our ongoing partnership with the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) and Carl Vinson Institute of Government affords us the opportunity to illustrate statewide challenges to internet access and provide key stakeholders a tool with enhanced precision to make data-driven decisions.
This tool, the first of its kind, reflects more than 5 million locations in all 159 counties. In the span of 18 months, the methodology was executed by overlaying every home and business along with broadband provider service availability for those locations to provide an enhanced comprehensive, in-depth view of served and unserved areas.
Broadband services in Georgia are defined as a minimum of 25Mbps/3Mbps for download and upload speeds, respectively. A Census block is considered unserved if 20% of homes and businesses are unable to subscribe to those services.
Data is now available statewide and by county and can also be compared to FCC mapping. The new map will bring more transparency about the internet marketplace and clarify which households do not have access to high-speed internet.
In total, 43 of the 44 Georgia's broadband providers provided data for this effort. Based on our mapping efforts, 507,341 locations and 50,728 Census blocks are unserved -- nearly 70% of these locations are in rural parts of Georgia. This essential data can now be leveraged to better direct investment to reach unserved areas of the state, used by local communities and providers to assist with broadband planning efforts, and utilized to track changes in broadband availability.
COVID-19 revealed what our team has known for some time: Internet access should be open to everyone. In 2018, the Georgia Broadband Deployment Initiative (GBDI) was created by legislation with this ideology in mind and spurred the work of advocacy, education, partnerships and technical assistance throughout the state in order to provide opportunities for communities to benefit from broadband access.
This year, broadband's impact on education and business was catapulted to public consciousness due to the pandemic. As schools swiftly closed their doors and distance learning was mandated, inequality in access was made abundantly clear.
In an effort to develop a short-term solution, the GBDI team partnered with internet services providers and a multi-agency network to develop a listing of existing public locations across the state that offered free Wi-Fi as well as a directory for free or low-cost connectivity options. In addition, we have assisted the Department of Education in the deployment of remote learning solutions using preliminary mapping results.
Additionally, Georgia communities are demonstrating their dedication to being broadband ready by proactively integrating broadband-related deployment and service initiatives in their comprehensive plans. As a result, Broadband Ready designations have been awarded to the following communities: Banks County, Evans County, Lumpkin County, Oglethorpe County, City of Claxton, and City of Woodbury.
The fundamental component to expand broadband access relies on additional funding and public- private partnerships. In June alone, $21.5 million in funds were committed to rural broadband. Comcast announced a $9 million investment in internet access expansion in four rural communities: Tallapoosa, Mount Zion, Waco and Whitesburg. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced DoveTel Communications will utilize $12.5 million in a ReConnect grant for broadband access in Heard, Troup and Carroll counties intended to benefit not only homes and businesses but also 121 farms, four fire stations, and an elementary school.
Another GBDI intiative is the Speedtest by Ookla® pilot project. Its purpose is to enable local leaders to effectively assess distance learning on a long-term basis. GBDI is assisting the Department of Education (DOE) and school districts to deploy wireless solutions for student connectivity in all 216 districts. Working in partnership with DOE and wireless providers as a team, the broadband map and Ookla speed test data will be used to provide detailed guidance to school districts who will evaluate the best locations for wireless solutions deployments to achieve instruction continuity for students.
We recognize that barriers to broadband are not limited to Georgia but instead part of a national narrative about the digital divide. Our collaboration with surrounding states has permitted us to gain insight into the challenges in different areas as well as set a precedent for how to develop effective partnerships that lead to sustainable outcomes.
Tamarah Holmes, Virginia's Broadband Director, said our work has "forever changed the face of broadband mapping." As we continue to navigate the broadband landscape, we anticipate even more opportunities to learn, affect change, and help to build strong, vibrant communities.
Deana Perry brings more than 20 years of experience to her role as Executive Director of the Georgia Broadband Deployment Initiative which is housed in the state Department of Community Affairs. She has served in various capacities as a broadband advocate including the Northwest Georgia Regional Commission, Parker Systems, and the Fiber Network Owners Alliance, Inc.

Lectures by the British Archeologist Guy Middleton
FF > News > Lectures by the British Archeologist Guy Middleton
The Czech Institute of Egyptology is happy to invite you to three lectures by Guy Middleton, archaeologist from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. The lectures are going to take place in the Green Room, Celetná 20, Prague 1 on 24 – 26 April 2017.
Approaching collapse – narratives and genres | 24th April 2017, 17:30–19:30
In this lecture, we explore the 'public face' of collapse in the modern world as it appears in multiple genres from archaeology to film and literature, and from environmental writing to futurology. The argument is that the way we see collapse and the narratives we weave about it, often apocalyptic and catastrophic, are deeply influenced by our cultural inheritance and our contemporary concerns. As part of this collapse discourse, archaeological 'facts' have been taken and embedded in wider culture and society and are used by other writers, especially environmental writers, to teach lessons to or exhort the public to change their ways, yet these writers are often uncritical of the archaeological evidence and interpretations, narrow in their view of 'facts', and rely on out-of-date work. Archaeologists are not immune to these influences and processes, but have a responsibility to develop and share their own, often more nuanced work and ideas, which reveal more complex stories of collapse in which multiple explanations and narratives are possible.
Understanding collapse in archaeology – theories and explanations | 25th April 2017, 17:30–19:30
In this second lecture, the aim is to take a critical look at how archaeologists and others have defined collapse, described it, and have sought to explain it. Taking a long perspective across the twentieth century up to the present day, we shall encounter the ideas of many scholars, from Spengler and Toynbee to Tainter and Yoffee and Cowgill's books of 1988 – the 'annus mirabilis' for collapse studies – and from the rise of the environmental narratives, to Jared Diamond's bestselling Collapse and the reactions to it, and finally into 2017, in which at least five new books on collapse, all quite different in aims and scope, are being published. 'Collapsology' is emphasized as an increasingly developed sub-field of archaeology and history, with a vast literature, and as valid a focus as archaeological work on colonialism, gender, imperialism, state formation, or other areas.
Collapse in the Late Bronze Age Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean | 26th April 2017, 17:30–19:30)
In this final lecture, we look at a specific instance of collapse known from the archaeological record – that of the palatial Late Bronze Age of Greece and the Aegean. The competing theories will be introduced and recent responses examined, including the proposal that climate change caused collapse. One focus will be on how the period running up to the collapse has been characterized – as a period of crisis; another will be on the role of the Sea Peoples, known from Egyptian texts, in the events of the decades around 1200 BC and their place in the history of Greece and the wider Eastern Mediterranean region. We shall also consider recent proposals about the political geography of Late Bronze Age Greece and how these different views affect our conception of the c. 1200 collapse.

Syria's opposition is on the verge of one of the most 'surprising' victories of the revolution
Natasha Bertrand
Aug 9, 2016, 1:04 AM
A nearly month-long government siege on Syria's largest city is on the verge of collapse after a week of heavy fighting in northern and eastern Aleppo led to the "surprising" defeat of pro-regime forces by a coalition of Syrian opposition groups.
The siege has not been completely broken, and the situation remains unstable, said Syrian journalist Hadi Alabdallah, who was in Aleppo while the battle unfolded.
Fights are still erupting sporadically across the city, he said, and airstrikes continue to puncture any aura of calm.
But the Free Syrian Army — aided by a military alliance of several rebel brigades known as Jaysh al Fateh, or the Army of Conquest — successfully regained control over a significant portion of Aleppo, including a government supply line leading into the city from the south and a major regime artillery academy.
"There was initially significant resistance from the pro-regime forces," Alabdallah told Business Insider in an interview from Turkey, where he is receiving medical treatment for an injury he suffered while in Syria. Foreign fighters, including Iran-backed militias and Hezbollah, dominated the pro-regime forces, he said.
"But after parts of the frontline were re-captured by the rebels, the regime-allied forces deteriorated very quickly," Alabdallah recalled.
"It was very surprising, and much faster than anyone had expected," he added. "Officers from those [pro-regime] militias fled that their soldiers out on the field, so they started to flee as well. That's why the artillery academy was so easy to overrun — it was captured within two hours."
'A much more cohesive operation'
Alabdallah's account lines up with what one alleged Hezbollah fighter said in a tape recorded during last week's heavy fighting, which was later leaked on social media.
"They [fellow pro-regime fighters] all left us, the Iranian, Afghans and Syrians … all of them left us. We are like dummies, we don't know anything, we are fighting alone," the combatant said in the message, according to NOW Lebanon.
"I went to the academy in the afternoon … and only the Lebanese were still there," he added, in reference to the artillery academy rebels say they overran.
Syrian government officials denied reports that the artillery base had fallen to the rebels, but the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based monitoring group, said parts of the base had indeed been taken by the rebel alliance.
The regime also claimed that insurgents had suffered heavy losses throughout the battles — a claim that Alabdallah disputed.
"Given the scale of the battle and the gains made, the number of lost [rebel] fighters has been very limited," Alabdallah said. He estimated that the opposition was able to recapture 35 square kilometers (roughly 21 miles) of territory, including strategic infrastructure, from pro-regime forces.
He cautioned, too, against characterising the battle as an offensive launched and won by Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, an Islamist rebel brigade formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra, Al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, until late last month.
"There have been many different players, all playing a critical role," Alabdallah said of the opposition. "The forces fighting the regime from inside Aleppo have been almost exclusively FSA [Free Syrian Army]. When it comes to operations in southwest Aleppo, Ahrar al-Sham probably played a bigger role than Jabhat Fatah al-Sham."
Ahrar al-Sham is a coalition of multiple Islamist and Salafist rebel groups characterised by Russia and the Syrian government as a terror organisation. It is backed by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
Still, Alabdallah said, it remains difficult to say whether any of the rebel groups played an outsize role in the fight to break the siege.
"Jaysh al Fateh used to fight in a way where each group would take a different front, so that they were essentially divided on battlefield," Alabdallah said. "They would attack together but their resources would be divided. The policy now — in this battle at least — is that all the groups are intermixed in battle. It's a much more cohesive operation."
'Swings of momentum'
As strategic security firm The Soufan Group noted in its daily briefing Monday, the offensive to break the siege "was one of the largest coordinated rebel campaigns of the war to date." But the group cautioned against characterising the rebel gains as any kind of a decisive blow to the regime.
"The rebel gains in Aleppo are undeniable and significant, and could possibly trigger some negotiated resolution to the civil war," the note read. "They could also lead to a period of increased fighting and suffering, followed by increased foreign support and swings of momentum, as has every other turning point up to now."
Alabdallah stressed that the cohesiveness of the operation does not necessarily indicate that the former Al Qaeda affiliate is winning over hearts and minds. The group still "differs too much ideologically" with the more mainstream groups, he said. Rather, Jabhat Fatah al-Sham is just one component of a much broader military alliance of groups that each bring their own strengths to table.
"Some smaller groups might explore merging in with Jabhat Fatah al-Sham," Alabdallah said. "But I don't expect the dynamics to change that much — the ideological differences are still there."
Both the regime-controlled pockets of Aleppo and those under rebel control reportedly received much-needed aid over the weekend and into Monday.
Syrian government forces said that they had delivered food and fuel to neighbourhoods under their control, while photos of an aid convoy carrying food into the rebel-held east from Idlib prompted civilians to take to the streets in celebration — even as the threat of intensified airstrikes loomed over them.
"The civilians are so happy," Alabdallah said. "They will continue to be bombed, and they will continue taking whatever precautions they need to to avoid being killed in the airstrikes. But at least now they won't be starving."

JOSH BATES has been given the all-clear to begin light training in the gym.
Barnsley-boy Bates suffered a broken bone in his back in a freak accident when out sledging with pals on the eve of the season.
He had an operation swiftly afterwards and has spent the last month resting the injury.
Now he's been to see a physio at Rotherham hospital who says he's gaining strength and can start some light work but is still not ready to get on a bike.
"I'm pleased with the way the injury is progressing," he said. "I'm feeling stronger every day and obviously I can't wait to get back racing again.
"I've got to take it nice and carefully and build up my strength to the point I can get back on a bike and do some laps.
"I must be the only person in the country who has been pleased to see the rain, hopefully meetings will be re-arranged for when I'm back riding!
Bates has once again offered his thanks to everyone who has supported him during his spell on the sidelines.
"Sponsors have stood by me and the fans have been brilliant, I want everyone to know how much I appreciate it," he said.

IFRS Jargon
All IFRS Subjects A – Z
IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies
Scope1
1 This Standard shall be applied to the financial statements, including the consolidated financial statements, of any entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy.
2 In a hyperinflationary economy, reporting of operating results and financial position in the local currency without restatement is not useful. Money loses purchasing power at such a rate that comparison of amounts from transactions and other events that have occurred at different times, even within the same accounting period, is misleading.
3 This Standard does not establish an absolute rate at which hyperinflation is deemed to arise. It is a matter of judgement when restatement of financial statements in accordance with this Standard becomes necessary. Hyperinflation is indicated by characteristics of the economic environment of a country which include, but are not limited to, the following:
the general population prefers to keep its wealth in non-monetary assets or in a relatively stable foreign currency. Amounts of local currency held are immediately invested to maintain purchasing power;
the general population regards monetary amounts not in terms of the local currency but in terms of a relatively stable foreign currency. Prices may be quoted in that currency;
sales and purchases on credit take place at prices that compensate for the expected loss of purchasing power during the credit period, even if the period is short;
interest rates, wages and prices are linked to a price index; and
the cumulative inflation rate over three years is approaching, or exceeds, 100%.
4 It is preferable that all entities that report in the currency of the same hyperinflationary economy apply this Standard from the same date. Nevertheless, this Standard applies to the financial statements of any entity from the beginning of the reporting period in which it identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the country in whose currency it reports.
The restatement of financial statements
5 Prices change over time as the result of various specific or general political, economic and social forces. Specific forces such as changes in supply and demand and technological changes may cause individual prices to increase or decrease significantly and independently of each other. In addition, general forces may result in changes in the general level of prices and therefore in the general purchasing power of money.
6 Entities that prepare financial statements on the historical cost basis of accounting do so without regard either to changes in the general level of prices or to increases in specific prices of recognised assets or liabilities. The exceptions to this are those assets and liabilities that the entity is required, or chooses, to measure at fair value. For example, property, plant and equipment may be revalued to fair value and biological assets are generally required to be measured at fair value. Some entities, however, present financial statements that are based on a current cost approach that reflects the effects of changes in the specific prices of assets held.
7 In a hyperinflationary economy, financial statements, whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach, are useful only if they are expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. As a result, this Standard applies to the financial statements of entities reporting in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. Presentation of the information required by this Standard as a supplement to unrestated financial statements is not permitted. Furthermore, separate presentation of the financial statements before restatement is discouraged.
8 The financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach, shall be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. The corresponding figures for the previous period required by IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (as revised in 2007) and any information in respect of earlier periods shall also be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. For the purpose of presenting comparative amounts in a different presentation currency, paragraphs 42(b) and 43 of IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates apply.
9 The gain or loss on the net monetary position shall be included in profit or loss and separately disclosed.
10 The restatement of financial statements in accordance with this Standard requires the application of certain procedures as well as judgement. The consistent application of these procedures and judgements from period to period is more important than the precise accuracy of the resulting amounts included in the restated financial statements.
Historical cost financial statements
Statement of financial position
11 Statement of financial position amounts not already expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period are restated by applying a general price index.
12 Monetary items are not restated because they are already expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at the end of the reporting period. Monetary items are money held and items to be received or paid in money.
13 Assets and liabilities linked by agreement to changes in prices, such as index linked bonds and loans, are adjusted in accordance with the agreement in order to ascertain the amount outstanding at the end of the reporting period. These items are carried at this adjusted amount in the restated statement of financial position.
14 All other assets and liabilities are non-monetary. Some non-monetary items are carried at amounts current at the end of the reporting period, such as net realisable value and fair value, so they are not restated. All other non-monetary assets and liabilities are restated.
15 Most non-monetary items are carried at cost or cost less depreciation; hence they are expressed at amounts current at their date of acquisition. The restated cost, or cost less depreciation, of each item is determined by applying to its historical cost and accumulated depreciation the change in a general price index from the date of acquisition to the end of the reporting period. For example, property, plant and equipment, inventories of raw materials and merchandise, goodwill, patents, trademarks and similar assets are restated from the dates of their purchase. Inventories of partly-finished and finished goods are restated from the dates on which the costs of purchase and of conversion were incurred.
16 Detailed records of the acquisition dates of items of property, plant and equipment may not be available or capable of estimation. In these rare circumstances, it may be necessary, in the first period of application of this Standard, to use an independent professional assessment of the value of the items as the basis for their restatement.
17 A general price index may not be available for the periods for which the restatement of property, plant and equipment is required by this Standard. In these circumstances, it may be necessary to use an estimate based, for example, on the movements in the exchange rate between the functional currency and a relatively stable foreign currency.
18 Some non-monetary items are carried at amounts current at dates other than that of acquisition or that of the statement of financial position, for example property, plant and equipment that has been revalued at some earlier date. In these cases, the carrying amounts are restated from the date of the revaluation.
19 The restated amount of a non-monetary item is reduced, in accordance with appropriate IFRSs, when it exceeds its recoverable amount. For example, restated amounts of property, plant and equipment, goodwill, patents and trademarks are reduced to recoverable amount and restated amounts of inventories are reduced to net realisable value.
20 An investee that is accounted for under the equity method may report in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. The statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income of such an investee are restated in accordance with this Standard in order to calculate the investor's share of its net assets and profit or loss. When the restated financial statements of the investee are expressed in a foreign currency they are translated at closing rates.
21 The impact of inflation is usually recognised in borrowing costs. It is not appropriate both to restate the capital expenditure financed by borrowing and to capitalise that part of the borrowing costs that compensates for the inflation during the same period. This part of the borrowing costs is recognised as an expense in the period in which the costs are incurred.
22 An entity may acquire assets under an arrangement that permits it to defer payment without incurring an explicit interest charge. Where it is impracticable to impute the amount of interest, such assets are restated from the payment date and not the date of purchase.
23 [Deleted]
24 At the beginning of the first period of application of this Standard, the components of owners' equity, except retained earnings and any revaluation surplus, are restated by applying a general price index from the dates the components were contributed or otherwise arose. Any revaluation surplus that arose in previous periods is eliminated. Restated retained earnings are derived from all the other amounts in the restated statement of financial position.
25 At the end of the first period and in subsequent periods, all components of owners' equity are restated by applying a general price index from the beginning of the period or the date of contribution, if later. The movements for the period in owners' equity are disclosed in accordance with IAS 1.
26 This Standard requires that all items in the statement of comprehensive income are expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. Therefore all amounts need to be restated by applying the change in the general price index from the dates when the items of income and expenses were initially recorded in the financial statements.
Gain or loss on net monetary position
27 In a period of inflation, an entity holding an excess of monetary assets over monetary liabilities loses purchasing power and an entity with an excess of monetary liabilities over monetary assets gains purchasing power to the extent the assets and liabilities are not linked to a price level. This gain or loss on the net monetary position may be derived as the difference resulting from the restatement of non-monetary assets, owners' equity and items in the statement of comprehensive income and the adjustment of index linked assets and liabilities. The gain or loss may be estimated by applying the change in a general price index to the weighted average for the period of the difference between monetary assets and monetary liabilities.
28 The gain or loss on the net monetary position is included in profit or loss. The adjustment to those assets and liabilities linked by agreement to changes in prices made in accordance with paragraph 13 is offset against the gain or loss on net monetary position. Other income and expense items, such as interest income and expense, and foreign exchange differences related to invested or borrowed funds, are also associated with the net monetary position. Although such items are separately disclosed, it may be helpful if they are presented together with the gain or loss on net monetary position in the statement of comprehensive income.
Current cost financial statements
29 Items stated at current cost are not restated because they are already expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. Other items in the statement of financial position are restated in accordance with paragraphs 11 to 25.
30 The current cost statement of comprehensive income, before restatement, generally reports costs current at the time at which the underlying transactions or events occurred. Cost of sales and depreciation are recorded at current costs at the time of consumption; sales and other expenses are recorded at their money amounts when they occurred. Therefore all amounts need to be restated into the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period by applying a general price index.
31 The gain or loss on the net monetary position is accounted for in accordance with paragraphs 27 and 28.
32 The restatement of financial statements in accordance with this Standard may give rise to differences between the carrying amount of individual assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. These differences are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes.
33 This Standard requires that all items in the statement of cash flows are expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period.
Corresponding figures
34 Corresponding figures for the previous reporting period, whether they were based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach, are restated by applying a general price index so that the comparative financial statements are presented in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. Information that is disclosed in respect of earlier periods is also expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. For the purpose of presenting comparative amounts in a different presentation currency, paragraphs 42(b) and 43 of IAS 21 apply.
35 A parent that reports in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy may have subsidiaries that also report in the currencies of hyperinflationary economies. The financial statements of any such subsidiary need to be restated by applying a general price index of the country in whose currency it reports before they are included in the consolidated financial statements issued by its parent. Where such a subsidiary is a foreign subsidiary, its restated financial statements are translated at closing rates. The financial statements of subsidiaries that do not report in the currencies of hyperinflationary economies are dealt with in accordance with IAS 21.
36 If financial statements with different ends of the reporting periods are consolidated, all items, whether non-monetary or monetary, need to be restated into the measuring unit current at the date of the consolidated financial statements.
Selection and use of the general price index
37 The restatement of financial statements in accordance with this Standard requires the use of a general price index that reflects changes in general purchasing power. It is preferable that all entities that report in the currency of the same economy use the same index.
Economies ceasing to be hyperinflationary
38 When an economy ceases to be hyperinflationary and an entity discontinues the preparation and presentation of financial statements prepared in accordance with this Standard, it shall treat the amounts expressed in the measuring unit current at the end of the previous reporting period as the basis for the carrying amounts in its subsequent financial statements.
39 The following disclosures shall be made:
the fact that the financial statements and the corresponding figures for previous periods have been restated for the changes in the general purchasing power of the functional currency and, as a result, are stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period;
whether the financial statements are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach; and
the identity and level of the price index at the end of the reporting period and the movement in the index during the current and the previous reporting period.
40 The disclosures required by this Standard are needed to make clear the basis of dealing with the effects of inflation in the financial statements. They are also intended to provide other information necessary to understand that basis and the resulting amounts.

Session B6- The Bridgeport solution: Pool and weir fishway retrofit for a Pequonnock River culvert inlet transition
S. Curtis Mason P.E., EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc.
Gwen MacDonald, Connecticut Fund for the Environment
EA Engineering, Science, and Technology (EA) and Connecticut Fund for the Environment (CFE), in consultation with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, have designed and are permitting modifications of a culvert inlet transition on the Pequonnock River to incorporate a pool and weir fish way. During low-flow periods, water depths down the existing concrete transition, which is near the intersection of Chopsey Hill Road and Glenwood Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut, are too shallow to allow upstream fish passage for target species (American shad, blueback herring, and alewife). The pool and weir sections were designed to improve fish passage during the upstream migration season (1 April 31 July) over a 5-178 cfs with a maximum velocity of 5 ft/sec and minimum water depth of 8 in. EA designed a multi-tiered weir able to provide different depths at different flow regimes and designed the pools using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Energy Dissipation Factor(EDF) formula. The weirs were designed to provide an 8-in. minimum depth through a low-flow notch at the minimum design flow (5 cfs) and the majority of the normal design flow (45 cfs) over the remaining weir. Depths in the low-flow notch were 14 in. at normal design flow (45 cfs) and 22 in. at maximum design flow (178 cfs). Velocities in the pools and weirs were less than 5 ft/s for all design flows. Water depths in the concrete transition adjacent to the pool and weir channel ranged from 1 in. at normal design flow up to 6 in. at maximum design flow. For the range of design flow, the EDF for the pools was less than 4.0 ft-lbs/sec per ft3 of pool volume, less than the USWFS standard of 4.0 ftlbs/ sec per ft3 maximum.
Mr. Curtis Mason is a 2003 graduate of Purdue University with a B.S. in Civil Engineering Structural, and is a registered Professional Engineer in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Arizona.
