Classicism claims crime is rational
In The Problem of Crime, Muncie and McLaughlin question the accuracy of dictionary definitions implying that these pose questions rather than providing answers. Escalating levels of crime indicate that action must be taken to resolve this issue. Theorists in both the social and criminal field have provided answers for causes of crime in order to prevent it and discourage individuals in society who may have the propensity to carry out criminal acts. An analysis of the two leading theories in this field, the positivist and the classicist, focusing on the key differences between the two approaches will assist in concluding on which of the two approaches will succeed in becoming the focus on crime prevention policies.
Introduction Classical criminology usually refers to the work of 18th-century philosophers of legal reform, such as Beccaria and Bentham, but its influence extends into contemporary works on crime and economics and on deterrence, as well as into the rational choice perspective.
The entire range of social phenomena can be understood more or less accurately using models of economic transactions and the assumption that people make rational choices between opportunities to maximize their own utility.
This was a foundational assumption of classical criminology.
Rational choice theory - Wikipedia
Sociological theory viewed crime through economic models, and this assumption is called rational choice theory. For criminologists, rational choice theory has origins in sociological theoretical thought and in various perspectives on economics and markets, but, more prominently, its influences are found in the classical school of criminology.
Rational Choice Theory and Get-Tough Policies Drawing on the classical contention that man is a calculating creature, rational choice criminology begins with the assumption that behaviors of groups and individuals will reflect attempts to maximize pleasure and minimize pain.
Theorists in this tradition hypothesize how varying conditions shaping the payoff of an endeavor in combination with varying utilities and desires will contribute to aggregate and individual levels of crime.
Most adherents agree that the utilities, or desirability, of activities are varying and subjective, so that crime may have attraction for some people that is not seen by others. There also is widespread agreement that the strength and quality of individual or group preferences can be taken into account in studying the occurrence of criminal behavior.
Therefore, in criminology rational choice theory usually is a variant of expected utility theories and portrays the process of considering or ignoring criminal opportunities as part of a rational calculation based in part on subjective assessments wherein the expected costs and benefits of actions are considered.
It was often portrayed as a reductionist and simplistic theory due to the fact that proponents often emphasized the most obvious costs and benefits of crime commission, such as monetary payoff versus terms of imprisonment.
Moreover, its foundational assumptions sometimes are critiqued for being so broad as to be meaningless. In very recent years, however, the theory has attracted investigators drawn by its potential for making clear sense of why people commit crime and its ability to communicate the theoretical reasons behind research results to any audience.
In contemporary forms, it also can conveniently integrate structural and perceptual models of offending, and the perspective easily makes sense of the use of a wide array of variables from multiple levels of analysis. The rational choice framework has great capacity for incorporating knowledge and techniques garnered from across the social sciences, because its central premises are extremely broad and conflict directly with few extant statements from other perspectives.
In broad form, the rational choice perspective has as much potential for integrating knowledge from various spheres of criminology as does any other grand theory.
Envtal Science
For all its shortcomings, which derive mainly from economic assumptions about human and aggregate decision making and the tendency to focus on the most tangible variables, it makes efficient sense of complex questions. Accompanying a more even-keeled political approach and more rigorous empiricism in criminology than was prevalent in more ideologically combative times has been a realization that there is nothing necessarily punitive in classical or rational choice theory and that therefore the perspectives should not be faulted when it is misapplied or misunderstood.
Articles framed by the perspectives usually examine the possibility that punishment reduces crime, and often that is found to be the case in at least some examined conditions.
However, for people who would use the perspectives as ideology to support getting tough on crime, the approach has as many inherent inconsistencies as convergences.
Contemporary versions of rational choice specify countless complications of simple postulated relationships between increased punishment and decreased crime, for example.
There clearly the rational choice tradition acknowledges that there are limited conditions under which one should expect punishment increases to lead to reductions in rates of crime or to impede individual decisions to commit crime.
Indeed, people who would turn to rational choice and classical theory for endorsement of punitive perspectives should know that they have opened themselves to attack from their desired theoretical bedfellows.
Classical Criminology - Criminal Justice - IResearchNet
This is because rational choice theorists and their classical forebears generally demand consistent and logical economic arguments and real evidence for the practicality and efficacy of state practices. Those who follow the tradition would evaluate the net payoff of punitive programs skeptically before determining them legitimate.
Moreover, the tradition is closely coupled historically with utilitarian views of law wherein good laws are only those that can be enforced which usually requires considerable popular legitimacy and that lead to the general betterment.
The latter, of course, is a difficult philosophical and empirical obstacle to surmount for people who argue that more punishment is needed. The earliest classical theorists postulated that many punishments were necessarily irrational and excessive simply because they would inevitably be ineffective in deterring crime.
This fact still exerts significant influence in both rational choice and classical theorizing.
The theory claims that crime prevention or at least crime reduction may be achieved through policies that convince criminals to disengage from criminal activities, delay their actions, or avoid a particular target. Rational Choice Theory • Feeblemindedness and Crime – closely related to genetic theories, claiming that low IQ causes crime. The Principles Of Classicist And Positivist Criminology Criminology Essay. The whole concept of the 'Causes of crime' for the Classicist paradigm is that it links to the question of rational motivation. The cause of crime is said to be due to rationality, individual choice and irrational choice. Classicism and Positivism oppose with.
Laws that are groundless, inefficacious, unprofitable, or needless are not good laws. If any convenient liaison between the classical, rational choice perspective and get-tough policies existed, it seems to have been temporary and probably not all that important for, properly modified, almost any broad ideology can inspire or be used to defend vengeful approaches to criminal justice.The terms: "classicism", "positivism" and "social defense" have been chosen in order to outline a method of inquiry which, it is hoped, will help.
Classicism claims individuals make rational choices out of free will. Therefore everyone in society is a potential criminal. Beccaria "objected especially to the capricious and purely personal justice the judges were dispensing and to the severe and barbaric punishment of the time.

Q: Unable to call Tkinter module in Python2.7 for some reason I am unable to call Tkinter from text editor(sublime) OR interpreter..
I did a fresh Debian install on Virtualbox with ActivePython2.7
Here is a video on 1.5min for easier explanation on my problem!
Thanks for your time, guys!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIj3KuzaNpM

A: I guess this can help you:
>>> import tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<ipython-input-2-b98d59735c04>", line 1, in <module>
    import tkinter
ImportError: No module named tkinter

>>> import Tkinter
>>>

A: For python2.x it is:
from Tkinter import *

For python3.x it is:
from tkinter import *

Now as you are using python 2.7 you should be using from Tkinter import *
However it would be better to use:
import sys
if sys.version_info[0]==2:
    from Tkinter import *
if sys.version_info[0]==3:
    from tkinter import *

in order to avoid any future problem

BALLET DE LORRAINE
The Joyce Theater welcomed the international Ballet de Lorraine to its stage in what marked its inaugural United States tour. In France, the company's extensive history begins with its inception in 1968. By 1999, it had earned the Centre Choreographique National (CCN) title, securing its place as one of the top resource centers for dance in the country. Today, the 26-dancer company remains dedicated to the work of contemporary choreographers, under the artistic direction of former Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet principal, Petter Jacobsson.
With such attention on artistic experimentation, one could anticipate the company's diverse offerings to be delivered in two distinct programs. Through the course of two hours, Program A, took the audience from what felt like lengthy dance competition number, to the rhythmic and gestural world of Alban Richard, and then back in time to a Merce Cunningham classic.
The New York premiere of "Devoted," choreographed by Cecilia Bengolea and Francois Chaignaud is set to Philip Glass' "Another Look at Harmony Part IV." This minimalist piece is layered with similarly structured choreography. The ensemble, en pointe throughout, resolves into cascades of chaine turns time and again.
Heavily contrasting moments of dancehall hips and jumps resulting in abrupt splits embellish the work. Bengolea and Chaignaud's costumes are curious, conjuring a team of rags dolls in ballet class, a select few donning a fishnet-covered leg.
Richard's "Hok Solo Pour Ensemble" follows, also a New York premiere. He brings a dozen of Ballet de Lorraine company members to the stage, soon to be bound by every beat of Louis Andriessen's persistent "Hoketus."
The performers emerge as an androgynous collective, unraveling from one movement pattern into the next, largely driven by swift arm gestures. Individuals fold in and out of the group as the formations expand and rotate and disperse across the space.
Cunningham's 1975 work, "Sounddance," closes the evening, likely a nod to Jacobsson's early training with him. David Tudor's intense score "Untitled" (1974/1994) whisks clockwise through the surround sound, leaving us encapsulated in the vigorous, timeless work.
Here, the dancers' range of talent is at last highlighted. They convey drama, take on occasional animalistic imagery, and give us a glimpse of their technique all throughout the choreography's demanded momentum. Ultimately, the dancers are pulled one by one through the backdrop and out of site; a sharp moment of stillness reigns.

Q: SQL Server Sorting Algorithm There are so many sorting algorithms, but I want to know which algorithm is used in SQL Server when we use Order by and without Order by.

A: I guess it depends on the column that you choose to order BY. If is integer is a different algorithm than for strings. Another guess will be that having or not having indexes for that column will also be of vital importance.
This is the algorithm for text order by in Mysql.

The original filesort algorithm works
  as follows: Read all rows according to
  key or by table scanning. Rows that do
  not match the WHERE clause are
  skipped. For each row, store a pair of
  values in a buffer (the sort key and
  the row pointer). The size of the
  buffer is the value of the
  sort_buffer_size system variable. When
  the buffer gets full, run a qsort
  (quicksort) on it and store the result
  in a temporary file. Save a pointer to
  the sorted block. (If all pairs fit
  into the sort buffer, no temporary
  file is created.) Repeat the preceding
  steps until all rows have been read.
  Do a multi-merge of up to MERGEBUFF
  (7) regions to one block in another
  temporary file. Repeat until all
  blocks from the first file are in the
  second file. Repeat the following
  until there are fewer than MERGEBUFF2
  (15) blocks left. On the last
  multi-merge, only the pointer to the
  row (the last part of the sort key) is
  written to a result file. Read the
  rows in sorted order by using the row
  pointers in the result file. To
  optimize this, we read in a big block
  of row pointers, sort them, and use
  them to read the rows in sorted order
  into a row buffer. The size of the
  buffer is the value of the
  read_rnd_buffer_size system variable.
  The code for this step is in the
  sql/records.cc source file.

A: If you don't use ORDER BY, then there is no implied or natural order. So no algorithm. This applies to most RDBMS. Only ORDER BY will give any ordering of results.
When you do use ORDER BY, it follows the column list, asc/desc, collation, expressions etc that you specify. The only non-intuitive rule I can think of is "NULLs first" for a column but otherwise sorts are straightforward in SQL Server.

A: Yea, Elzo is right, SQL Server (and many other RDBMS) uses several different and complicated sorting algorithms. They aim to achieve a balance between memory usage, average response time, while maintaining high levels of resource concurrency. In a certain situation, the algorithm choice is based on the data types involved, the size of data to be sorted, or the number of sort keys specified, and so on.
Refer to this thread: What algorithms does SQL use?

A: There are two different sort logics used by SQL Server to handle sorting! First one is the quick sort and another one is Merge sort. It begins sort in memory using Quick Sort algorithm but note that the memory requirement for this is at least 200% of its input rows size. Now if the memory grant is exceeded(even by a single byte), it spills entire immediate sort and remaining sort to disk. Then it will complete the sort on disk using Merge Sort algorithm.

Procedure for Dishonour of cheques
Ref. DBOD.BC.Leg. No.113 / 09.12.001/ 2002-03
Dishonour of cheques – Procedure thereof
As you are aware, in January 1992, banks were advised to implement the recommendation of the Goiporia Committee that dishonoured instruments are returned / despatched to the customer promptly without delay, in any case within 24 hours (Ref.No.3.36 – our circular DBOD.No.BC.74/09.07.001/91-92 dated 28th January 1992).
2. Pursuant to the investigation by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (the JPC) into the Stock Market Scam, the JPC has recommended (in para 5.214 of its report ) that "specific guidelines need to be issued by the Reserve Bank to all banks regarding the procedure to be followed by them in respect of dishonoured cheques from Stock Exchanges." In the light of aforesaid recommendations of the JPC, the extant instructions relating to return of all dishonoured cheques have been reviewed.
3. We understand that banks are already following the appropriate procedure keeping in view the above instructions to deal with the dishonour of cheques. However, it is considered necessary to streamline the procedure to be followed by all banks in this behalf. It is therefore suggested that in addition to the existing instruction in respect of dishonoured instruments for want of funds, banks may follow the additional instructions laid down in para 4 of this circular which could cover all cheques dishonoured on account of insufficient funds and not only those relating to settlement transactions of Stock Exchanges.
4. I. Procedure for return/ despatch of dishonoured cheques:
(i) The paying bank should return dishonoured cheques presented through clearing houses strictly as per the return discipline prescribed for respective clearing house in terms of Uniform Regulations And Rules for Bankers' Clearing Houses. The collecting bank on receipt of such dishonoured cheques should despatch it immediately to the payees / holders.
(ii) In relation to cheques presented direct to the paying bank for settlement of transaction by way of transfer between two accounts with that bank, it should return such dishonoured cheques to payees/ holders immediately.
(iii) Cheques dishonoured for want of funds in respect of all accounts should be returned along with a memo indicating therein the reason for dishonour as "insufficient funds."
4.II Information on dishonoured cheques:
(i) Data in respect of each dishonoured cheque for amount of Rs.1 crore and above should be made part of bank's MIS on constituents and concerned branches should report such data to their respective controlling office / Head Office.
(ii) Data in respect of cheques drawn in favour of stock exchanges and dishonoured should be consolidated separately by banks irrespective of the value of such cheques as a part of their MIS relating to broker entities, and be reported to their respective Head Offices / Central Offices.
4.III Dealing with incidence of frequent dishonour:
(i) With a view to enforce financial discipline among the customers, banks should introduce a condition for operation of accounts with cheque facility that in the event of dishonour of a cheque valuing rupees one crore and above drawn on a particular account of the drawer on four occasions during the financial year for want of sufficient funds in the account, no fresh cheque book would be issued. Also, the bank may consider closing current account at its discretion. However, in respect of advances accounts such as cash credit account, overdraft account, the need for continuance or otherwise of these credit facilities and the cheque facility relating to these accounts should be reviewed by appropriate authority higher than the sanctioning authority.
(ii) For the purposes of introduction of the condition mentioned at (i) above in relation to operation of the existing accounts, banks may, at the time of issuing new cheque book, issue a letter advising the constituents of the new condition.
(iii) If a cheque is dishonoured for a third time on a particular account of the drawer during the financial year, banks should issue a cautionary advice to the concerned constituent drawing his attention to aforesaid condition and consequential stoppage of cheque facility in the event of cheque being dishonoured on fourth occasion on the same account during the financial year. Similar cautionary advice may be issued if a bank intends to close the account.
4.IV General:
(i) For the purpose of adducing evidence to prove the fact of dishonour of cheque on behalf of a complainant (i.e. payee / holder of a dishonoured cheque) in any proceeding relating to dishonoured cheque before a court, consumer forum or any other competent authority, banks should extend full co-operation, and should furnish him/her documentary proof of fact of dishonour of cheques.
(ii) Commencing from the first quarter of 2003-04 i.e. quarter ending June 2003, banks should place before their Audit/ Management Committee, every quarter, consolidated data in respect of the matters referred to at II above;
5. Banks are also advised to adopt, with the approval of their respective Boards, appropriate procedure for dealing with dishonoured cheques with inherent preventive measures and checks to prevent any scope for collusion of the staff of the bank or any other person, with the drawer of the cheque for causing delay in or withholding the communication of the fact of dishonour of the cheque to the payee/ holder or the return of such dishonoured cheque to him. Banks should also lay down requisite internal guidelines for their officers and staff and advise them to adhere to such guidelines and ensure strict compliance thereof to achieve aforesaid object of effective communication and delivery of dishonoured cheque to the payee.
6. Please acknowledge receipt.

What you do with a tax refund is up to you, but here are some ideas that may make your refund twice as valuable.
You've been saving diligently for years, and now it's time to think about how to convert the money in your traditional, non-Roth 401(k)s (or similar workplace savings plans) into retirement income.
Bond ratings are an essential tool when considering fixed-income investments.
It may be helpful to compare bond ratings from the most well-known agencies.


The first thing that caught my eye was this Modern Ceiling Light with its cool geometrical shape! In my opinion, this light will add a touch of minimalism and luxury to any home. Because it comes in black, it would most certainly suit any interior styles that has black, white or brown notes. This light would look nice in the dining room or bedroom, don't you think so?
In keeping in tune with the minimalistic theme, this Swing Chair in black would be a great addition to your living room, balcony or patio! My aunt has one in white, and my sis has always talked about getting one for our home too. Don't be fooled by its rattan material, because it is sturdier than it looks and actually very comfy when you place a few throw-pillows on the chair. There, now you can really relax in style!
Every room needs a bedside lamp, but why not get a Bedside Stand Lamp instead? This lamp would also be great for lighting up the living area. I was attracted by this one with a white lamp shade as white is a versatile colour and suits the minimalistic theme very well.
If you're a girl, you definitely need this mirror! Just imagine doing your makeup in front of this pretty round mirror with steel frame. I can imagine this mirror hanging above my dressing table or in the bathroom. Minimalism doesn't have to be boring, as testament by this mirror with its black, vintage rim.
When decorating your home, it is important to visualize your theme and also have an idea of what items you need or don't need, especially if you're on a budget. I hope you loved these minimalist home décor pieces that I picked out for my room! Please let me know which piece you loved the most and leave me a comment below!

While buying a reclining chairs for small spaces the most important to keep in mind is comfort and the reclining capacity. Of course, colors and material coverings also matter. Leather reclining chair is more practical than chairs made up of other fabrics since their wear and tear rate is low and leather is also easier to clean.

A Super Mario themed charity race night is being held at an Ely pub to increase the fundraising total of a local man who is going to be completing first leg of the Tour de France.
The Minster Tavern, on Minster Place in Ely, is hosting the race night, in aid of Prostate Cancer UK, on Sunday April 14 ahead of regular customer David Lay taking on the 'Grand Départ Classic 2019'.
So far, David, with the help of the Minster Tavern, has raised more than £1,500 through cake sales, a band night, featuring local group the 'EZY3', and themed gin nights.
The pub also hosted the world's biggest pub quiz this month, which raised more than £200 for Prostate Cancer UK, in the official fundraiser organised by PubAid.
Louise Medhurst, manager of the Minster Tavern, said: "It's a pleasure to be able to do our bit for David and for Prostate Cancer UK.
"We have always said that if we can get one guy to go and get tested, then that's an achievement in itself.
"The team and I, and our customers, have all really enjoyed the events we've held as well – particularly the world's biggest pub quiz, which was great fun.
"David has been a friend of the Minster Tavern for a long time now and we all wish him every success in what looks to be quite the undertaking.
"He is going to have to maintain a serious pace to complete the course – especially when you consider rest breaks and being on his bike for so long. But we all have every confidence in his biking abilities."
For a small donation, customers can join the knock out competition which will see competitors pitted against each other to find the ultimate racing champion.
The Grand Départ Classic 2019 race takes place in Brussels, one week ahead of the Tour de France, on 120 miles of freshly paved roads, and must be completed within 12 hours. Prostate Cancer UK aims to raise £400,000 to help beat the disease.


I've never been to a Halloween-themed wedding, if you can believe that. But I know people who have thrown them, and I always think about them this time of year. With Halloween right around the corner, all I have are ghouls and goblins on the brain. So this post was easy to dream up: Halloween Wedding Favor Ideas.
I sorta wanna have Halloween party this year, just so I can use these spooky Halloween wedding favor ideas. And I would have an amazing candy buffet because, really, not doing one is a missed opportunity.
It's simple to start with these delicious ghost design white chocolate Oreo cookies. I can tell you they're delicious because I actually had one. Yes, this exact one.
I'm usually not a fan of white chocolate or Oreos, if I'm being honest, but this had such a great balance that I loved it. The only bummer was that I only had one and split it with Pete (now that's love). These come individually wrapped and tied with black ribbon, so there is absolutely nothing you have to do with them besides place your order.
If ghosts aren't your thing, what about pumpkins?
You can pick up these pumpkin design chocolate covered Oreo cookies instead of the ghosts. They are just as delicious (because yup, I had one of these too. But I had it when I was out of town so I didn't share. Shh!).
What would be super cute is if you actually paired these pumpkins with the ghosts and alternated them at each table setting. They would be super eye catching. Plus, to give it a little more pop, you can choose to order all milk or all white chocolate, depending on what you want.
Edible favors are always the best, but what if you want something cute and simple?
Check out these black and white swirl lollipops. These will absolutely look Halloween-themed with your Halloween wedding decor, but they just look lollipops on their own (in case you have a few extra that you want to stuff into Christmas stockings after your wedding).
Sticking with the stick theme (oh, what a word choice), check out these chocolate dipped Oreo pops.
They have a little more finesse to them, as opposed to the other dipped Oreos. They're one of the fancier Halloween wedding favor ideas. You purchase these per pop, all which come in cellophane and color coordinated ribbon. So if you would want only pumpkins or only mummies, you could order that way and not get stuck with any designs you don't like.
Our third stick idea is these pumpkin-shaped brownie pops. You can pick between brownie, marble, Nutella (yes, yes, yes), vanilla, and white chocolate raspberry.
Once you choose your flavor, you can pick your design (in this case, pumpkin), and then color (white or orange). It really gives you a variety of options, but not too many so you get overwhelmed (honestly, I would pick Nutella orange pumpkins. That's a crowd pleaser).
These come individually wrapped and with ribbon, so all you have to do is drop these at your guests' seats.
We talked about wine wedding favors before, because they're always a good favor idea. But I really like Halloween-themed wine glasses for a Halloween-themed wedding.
Plus, these would be great if you had some sort of "witch's brew" punch. That would also save on your bar tab at the end of the night because signature cocktails generally end up being cheaper than an open bar.
You can personalize these with different designs and text (so don't worry, they won't say Happy Halloween on them, unless you want them too).
Speaking of drinking, check out these super cute Drink Up Witches bottle openers.
Now, for me, they're a very sassy Halloween wedding favor idea, but most people don't cringe as often as I do (except my mom).
We are always looking for a bottle opener in this house, so this would actually be a brilliant and useful wedding favor because (I know for sure) most people are like us. Plus, you can personalize these too, with your name and date. And, if you really aren't fond of the saying, there's one that's just images of pumpkins, so that's a little tamer (especially if your grandma is coming to your reception).
I've never met anyone who didn't have a slight obsession with PocketBacs. I'm always smelling these hand sanitizers -- and getting them in my Christmas stocking. Plus, they're so great to keep in your bag, especially for when you're traveling (gas station bathrooms are often gross, but necessary on road trips).
Instead of looking for a hand sanitizer with a Halloween image, I would suggest one that's a little more timeless, like the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin PocketBacs. There's also other fall varieties, like the Pumpkin Spice Latte. It's not as pretty, but surely has mass appeal.
If you want to be a little more hands on with your Halloween wedding favors, check out these pumpkin jelly candies.
They're adorable and can easily be put into a cellophane treat bag and tied with a ribbon. Although organza bags are pretty, because of the sugar on the outside, go with a bag that lacks holes. The last thing you want is sugar all over your guests' plates that is meant for salad or bread.
If you've ever hung out with my family for a holiday, you've played cards. Growing up, all the adults would gather around the table to play card games and it was such a treat if one of the kids was allowed to sit at the adult table. So cards as a wedding favor hits me right in the heart. They're perfect.
If you like cards, check out these customized playing cards. There are a few Halloween designs -- cemeteries and various pumpkins -- to chose from. Plus, you can actually choose the card color, so if you're having a Halloween wedding, but you're not tied to black and orange, this is a great way to incorporate your colors.
Photo booths are still really hot for weddings and couples are using the photo strip as part guest book, part wedding favor. Definitely have the photo booth props fit with Halloween.
This set comes with 30-pieces, which is definitely enough. There are masks, mustaches, and more.
BRIDAL BABBLE: What are your favorite Halloween wedding favor ideas?
Check out our post: 100 Wedding Favors (Your guests will actually take).
Honestly....I CANT choose!!! I love them ALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
I love the theme of this wedding. The lolly pops are a cool favor.
Aw, too fun! I'd love to have a wedding around Halloween. I really like the chocolate dipped oreo pops and brownie pops. Too fun!
What fun ideas for a Halloween wedding! They would all work for other Halloween celebrations too. Thank you so much for sharing, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party!
These are all so cute! I love 'em! Thanks for sharing at Celebrate It!

I'm sure you've experienced at some point, a fall in gym class resulting in a cut and a swift visit to the school nurse. Schools see numerous types of accidents on a daily basis. Some accidents are minor, whereas some require immediate medical attention. Having qualified first aid staff, and teaching students the importance of first aid from a young age could help lower the severity of these accidents.
We all have heard the saying "April showers bring May flowers" but what else can springtime bring? For those of us that live in the north, we are dying to get out of the house by the time March and April come around. Often, we don't think twice about the possible injuries that can happen just from walking out your front door.
Should I use Soap and Water or Hydrogen Peroxide to Clean a Minor Wound?
No matter the field that someone works in, it is prevalent for people to acquire some cuts or bruises throughout the day. These minor injuries could be just getting a paper cut on your hand or tripping and cutting your leg/foot. Although these are only small wounds that most people don't pay too much attention to, is essential to clean them properly to prevent any infections from building.
First aid is required in many ways, shapes and forms. It is always a good idea to have basic first aid skills just in case you need it yourself, or someone needs it around you. Here is a list with the 8 most common injuries requiring first aid and what you can do when an accident like this occurs.
All across the US, the warmer weather is beginning to arrive. With the joy that warm weather brings, we would hate to see you get burned.
Who Should Have ANSI First Aid Kits?
When a facility lacks first aid supplies, it puts employees at severe risk. First aid is designed to give immediate care to those with a nonfatal injury.
A burn can happen nearly anywhere. If you are laying out in the sun around the pool, cooking at the stove or grill, or changing a lightbulb in the bedroom. Here is our quick guide on how to identify and then treat a burn using Safetec products.

US Navy conducts first SeaRAM missile firing from its LCS
The US Navy has successfully fired a tactical missile for the first time from a SeaRAM launcher on board its second Independence-class littoral combat ship (LCS), USS Coronado, during a live-fire exercise.
Conducted at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division sea range off the coast of California, the trial saw the navy's LCS firing a rolling airframe missile from a SeaRAM anti-ship defence system.
During the test, Raytheon's SeaRAM was able to detect, track and engage an inbound threat target, and fire a RAM Block 1A, intercepting the target successfully.
Raytheon Missile Systems Naval Area and Mission Defense product line vice-president Rick Nelson said: "This test success marks a major milestone toward full operation and employment of the SeaRAM system on US Navy ships.
"SeaRAM demonstrated that it is a vital weapon for defending navies against anti-ship cruise missiles, and provides warfighters with a capability found nowhere else."
The SeaRAM anti-ship missile defence system is designed to offer improved ship self-defence and extended keep-out range capabilities in hostile combat environments.
It allows naval vessels to effectively engage high-performance, supersonic and subsonic threats including sea-skimming, anti-ship missiles, high-speed incoming vessels, rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and other surface targets.
An evolution of the MK15 Phalanx close-in weapon system (CIWS), SeaRAM uses advanced Phalanx Block 1B sensors in order to enhance keep-out range capabilities against evolving anti-ship missiles, rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft and other threats.
"This test success marks a major milestone toward full operation and employment of the SeaRAM system on US Navy ships."
Raytheon's Phalanx is a rapid-fire, computer-controlled radar and 20mm gun system that acquires tracks and destroys enemy threats.
The advanced Phalanx Block 1B CIWS is fitted with advanced infrared sensor and optimised gun barrels, and also uses new control stations with situational awareness to provide operators with visual target tracking and identification before engagement.
In August, USS Coronado successfully performed a live-fire testing off the coast of California.
The test was conducted using the ship's core weapons system, the Mk 110 57mm gun and the embarked SUW MP Mk 46 30mm gun weapon systems (GWS).

5 Things You Didn't Know About the Chanel Spring 2021 Show
by Caterina Minthe
Chanel Spring 2021 finale. Courtesy Chanel
Virginie Viard drew the curtain on the Grand Palais yesterday with a Chanel Spring 2021 show with cinematic flair. It was brought to life with ecru and black tweed suits, jeans in fluorescent hues, floaty asymmetrically-cut dresses with sheer accents, logo-print shirts in neon, capri pants, and long dresses with printed flowers in black and white. It was a sassy and covetable collection as any, with plenty of details like miniature bag belts, velvet ribbons, and voile headpieces decorated with pearls for the eagle-eyed. For those who have already seen the just opened Chanel exhibition at the Palais Galliera, they will note that some of the later evening looks (scroll down) recall of Twenties Chanel with undeniable freshness. Read on to learn five things about the Chanel Spring 2021 show.
Chanel Spring 2021
The Chanel show was preceded by a surrealist cinematic black and white film by by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. The duo, who shot Vogue Arabia's very first cover featuring Gigi Hadid, edited an extraordinary mashup of some of France's most celebrated films of yesteryear—including Jacques Deray's Swimming Pool and Pierret le fou by Jean-Luc Godard. Three French grand dames of cinema, Romy Schneider, Anna Karina, and Jeanne Moreau all made appearances. Across what appears like a maquette of Los Angeles, the camera scans over the Santa Monica hills, where "Chanel" is featured in the place of the Hollywood sign, transporting the viewer to Paris. That same sign was front and center at the Chanel show.
The Chanel Spring 2021 show was the avant-last hurrah at the Grand Palais before the famous glass and iron exhibition hall is renovated with help from the fashion house to the tune of 25 million Euros. Renovations, led by chief architect of historic monuments, François Chatillon, are expected to begin next year and will continue through until spring 2024 in time to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The collection was a tribute to the muses of Chanel. "Some of them are far away, it's been a long time since we saw them," said Viard. "Gabrielle Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld dressed so many actresses in films and in real life. I was thinking about them who make us dream so much. But without wanting to replicate. Without falling into a vintage citation. I wanted it to be very joyful, colorful, and very vibrant too."
As for the mood, more specifically, Viard was thinking about actresses at the photocall and the red carpet, "That moment when they're being called to by the photographers: their faces a little distracted, their attitude a little out of sync with the outfits they're wearing. And then there are the fans waiting for them behind the barriers, this very lively side to cinema that happens beyond cinema, that's what I like." The music accompanying the show, was as usual by Michel Gaubert and featured songs like Spotlight by Jessie Ware (finale). You can listen to the full set here.
Models Rianne Van Rompaey, Mica Argañaraz, and Louise de Chevigny are lensed by Inez and Vinoodh in cinematic situation: on the phone, looking out the window, sitting on a bed, and walking down the street, like in a film. "An evocation of the Nouvelle Vague, of Italian cinema and of Hollywood," shared the notes. "Because the world of Chanel evokes so many images, a whole unconscious that's linked to cinema," states Viard. "Playing on the idea of repetition, the women all enact the same gestures," share Inez and Vinoodh. "They are each clearly in their own world but together represent what we feel is Chanel's way of fitting into the lives of every woman with a cool and easy allure."

Home News If well managed, N500b FG's intervention could provide 9 ventilators, 9 laboratories...
If well managed, N500b FG's intervention could provide 9 ventilators, 9 laboratories in each LGA In Nigeria
Just like many other countries, Nigeria is currently in an unpleasant situation with the rise in cases of Coronavirus pandemic. The virus, spread across the world has infected over a million people and more than 60,000 have died. Across many nations, authorities have ordered many individuals to stay at home to curb the widespread of the deadly virus.
As at 21st April 2020, Nigeria has recorded confirmed cases of 665, 188 discharged and 22 deaths in the country. Experts have repeatedly warned of a possible spike in cases in the country amidst difficulty to enforce lockdown in many states.
COVID-19 is a respecter of no one regardless of age, position or gender as many nations' leaders also have their share. In fact, last weekend, Nigeria lost the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, to the deadly virus. While experts are still in search of a vaccine, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said the only vaccine at the moment is "stay at home".
As of the time of this report, it is understood that in April, the Federal Government has earmarked the sum of 500 billion special funds to fight coronavirus. Meanwhile, DATAPHYTE analysis shows that if properly managed, the funds have the potential of boosting Nigeria's health sectors across all local government areas in the country.
The funds could provide each of the 774 local governments in Nigeria nine ventilators, construction and equipment of nine laboratory centres, employment of 18 health workers and at least 1 laboratory scientist, DATAPHYTE analysis shows.
Provided the N500 billion intervention fund gets legislative approval, it would require strategic management to respond to the immediate crisis with COVID-19. Meanwhile, it is of utmost importance that necessary quarters charged with the responsibility to contain the virus use the funds judiciously to respond to key challenges in the health sector.
If shared equally across all Local Government Areas (LGAs), each will get about N640 million which can help in providing a complementary healthcare system to successfully contain the spread of the virus in the country.
Using cost estimation sourced from the budget document of the federal government and reliable web platforms, DATAPHYTE computes what N640 million could do for each of the LGAs.
6,966 Ventilators across 774 LGAs
The shortage of ventilators in the country has been a source of concern for many Nigerians including lawmakers and public health experts. Currently, there is a global scramble for ventilators following the outbreak of the coronavirus. Countries like the United States and China have ramped up the manufacture and supply of ventilators to deal with the growing cases of the disease in their countries.
Though the exact number of ventilators in Nigeria is unknown, the number of functional ones in the country is estimated to be under 500. Experts have said Nigeria needs 10,000 Ventilators and based on the estimated number, the country has a deficit of 9,831 ventilators. With the N500 billion, the country can afford 6,966 ventilators at N10 million each. If properly shared, each of the LGAs will get 9 ventilators at the total cost of N69.6 Billion and the country will still have N430 billion balance.
6,966 Testing Centres and Laboratory Equipment
One of the most criticised aspects of Coronavirus menace in Nigeria is testing centres. The country has so far tested less than 10, 000 residents in comparison to countries like South Africa and Ghana with less population. Our inability to do this cannot be disconnected from lack of enough testing facilities as the country has thirteen (13) laboratory centres across states which is not enough to fight the pandemic.
According to Architect Olarinde Olakunle Joshua, He said it would cost N9 million to construct a mini laboratory. A laboratory will require health equipment like testing kits including microscope electrophoresis machine, Micro Hematocrit Centrifuge, incubator, weighing scale, reagents, etc, DATAPHYTE's Price review and checks showed that these laboratory equipment will cost about N11.3 Million, this means the government will construct and equip a mini Laboratory for N20.3 million.
From N430 billion remaining, each local government can have 9 laboratory centres with equipment, worth N182.7 million and the required biosafety materials such as biosafety cabinets and personal protective equipment needed to keep frontline healthcare workers safe in all states in Nigeria and help increase testing capacity in the country.
With N20.3 million for construction and equipping of a laboratory, it will cost N141.4 billion to have the same in 774 LGAs. By simple arithmetic, added to the 69.9 billion for ventilators, the sum will be 211.3 billion. The balance from N500 billion is N288.7 billion.
6,966 fully equipped primary health centres
With the inadequate health care centres in Nigeria and going by the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, Nigeria needs more than enough well equipped primary health centres across Local government areas for easy accessibility of people in the community.
These health care centres are crucial during and post COVID-19. They serve as the first point of call for ailing residents. According to Architect Olarinde Joshua, it would cost N15 million to build a standard Primary Health Centre.
DATAPHYTE's research showed that a Primary Health Centre would require basic health equipment like Emergency equipment and supplies (airways, aspirators, oxygen, mask, resuscitation bag/mask, etc.) Electrocardiography (ECG) unit and accessories, Personal Protective Equipment (gloves, facemasks), Stethoscopes, Microscope, sonogram machine, labour bed, Scaling machine, ambulance, Washing basin, running water, toilet, light and etc. According to Dr Olatunji Omololu A. who works at Grover Medical's Lifestyle Clinic Victoria Island, Lagos and our price survey of these equipment shows that equipping a primary healthcare centre is estimated to cost N17.3 million.
Therefore, with N15 million for construction and another N17.3 million to equip, It makes a total of N32.3 million for a well equipped primary health centre in Nigeria. A careful analysis shows that the country can afford 6,966 primary health centres across LGAs with each having nine Primary Healthcare Centres at the estimate of N225 billion in total, remaining N63.7 billion.
N63.7 billion to hire 13,932 health officials
While many people can afford to stay home, this is not the same with health workers in different isolation centres in different states with confirmed cases. From the remaining N63.7 billion, the Government can afford to employ 13,932 health officials and pay them an annual salary of N3,000,000.
With this, each local government will have at least 18 health officials to operate in the new Primary Health care Centres to be built at the cost of 54 million, 2 health officials per primary health centre.
The cost of employing additional 13,932 health officials across LGAs with an annual salary of N3 million is estimated to cost N41.7 Billion.
N16.7 billion for 6,966 laboratory scientists
A laboratory scientist also has an important responsibility in promoting the practice of public health as they perform diagnostic analyses on body fluids such as blood, urine, sputum, stool, as well as other specimens. Medical laboratory scientists work in clinical laboratories at hospitals, reference labs, biotechnology labs and non-clinical industrial labs.
From the remaining N22 billion, the government can afford to hire 6,966 laboratory scientists with a sum of N2.4 million per year. With this, each local government will have 9 laboratory scientists in the new laboratory centres to be built at the cost of N21.6 million, one lab scientist per laboratory centre.
The cost of hiring 6,966 laboratory centres across LGAs with the annual pay of N2.4 million is estimated to cost N16.7 billion.
Altogether, the equipment and human resources across the country will cost N493.8 billion and about N6 billion will be left for logistics purposes.
State of Diseases and Deaths
UNICEF (2016) reported that preventable or treatable infectious diseases account for 71% of the estimated 1 million deaths of under-fives in Nigeria every year, with deaths being attributable to malaria (24%), pneumonia (20%), diarrhoea (16%), measles (6%), and HIV/Aids (5%). From the number of people who die from Lassa fever, tuberculosis, to mothers who die during childbirth or children who die due to malaria or malnutrition, the statistics reveal a terrible state of Nigeria's healthcare system.
According to the current National Health Policy document, which was last revised in 1996, local government authorities are mandated to implement primary health policies and programmes. This is further supported by the PHCUOR programmes which pushes for the administration, financing, monitoring and evaluation, under the LG administration. While the state and federal governments are financiers based on the policy framework, the burden of LG-level procurement has not been relinquished to the local government authorities.

Natural resource industries expand their footprint over all five continents and need to transfer their experience and knowledge to all subsidiaries and affiliates representing them in different countries using various languages.
TMS (Translation Made Simple) has available specialized translators
who since Argentina turned into the last mining frontier and market in the '90s, have acquired and tuned up their experience and accuracy in their grasp of all stages involved in a mining project: prospecting, exploration, feasibility and construction of mines, extraction and beneficiation plants.
TMS accompanied the processes of permitting, personnel training and good and service supplier development for many of the mining projects that are already in production in the nation.
We translated and continue to deliver translations for personnel training manuals, feasibility study reports, good vendor requirements, service provision agreements for geology studies, drilling, hauling, refining and other operations and processes involved.
Companies highly involved in health and environment issues
All companies involved in the extraction and processing of natural resources are absolutely aware of their impact on health and the environment and hence, they devote huge efforts to their protection in all possible manners, generating large volumes of documents dealing with treatment of tailings, effluent and emission management, health protection for employees and surrounding communities, wild life preservation and corporate social responsibility.
In a global world which has become ever more aware of the ethical and social issues of every human activity, these companies, and those in other industries, are producing documents, policies and regulations that focus on the ethical behavior of their employees at all levels and on the respect for diversity and the fight against discrimination for religion, gender, race or other conditions.
And given the significant role of the media in every human activity, Translation Made Simple has, for many years now, supplied its translation services to an iconic organization involved with mining that has been instrumental to the support of the activity in Argentina and Latin America, through the publication of a magazine, scientific papers and the organization of technical and business events that attract scores of participants from the most remote operations in the country and from other –mainly English speaking—countries with a long mining tradition.
Transport: commercial aviation, railways and river and sea transfers
Translation Made Simple is a provider of two well-known transport companies in Argentina and the main supplier of railway rolling stock in the hemisphere.
In commercial aviation, we provide lease agreements and aircraft operation and maintenance manuals with accuracy and in a timely manner.
For more than 10 years, we have been providers of various document translation for the passenger shipping company that joins Buenos Aires with the Republic of Uruguay and has operations in the Mediterranean.
In addition to the technical material related to a large ship and aircraft fleet, we have also translated a lot of tourism material promoting a number of attraction spots in different countries.
As regards our experience in railway system document translation, TMS is a long-time supplier of a Japanese investment company involved first in the privatization of Argentine railways in the 1990's and their maintenance and renewal ever since.
As a result of that relationship, TMS's services were used by this company when it was awarded the provision of rolling stock and all train operation and control systems as well as the safe running of trains over a very significant section of the railway network in the Republic of Venezuela.
During the implementation of this ambitious project, which was managed using the expertise and experience of the teams located in Buenos Aires, TMS operated as the translation assistant for all the business, technical and legal documents that would travel between Japan and Caracas, always stopping by in Buenos Aires in both ways.
Owing to its long-standing involvement with all areas of transport and energy, Translation Made Simple is a reliable partner to accompany big projects with document translations that are readable, accurate and of the highest quality within the most stringent time frames.
Information and Telecommunication Technologies
These disciplines which have shaped the world as we know it today and have become a strategic tool for the incorporation of the new way of living, require fast localization of systems, applications and services provided across the World Wide Web.
After working during the privatization of telephone services in Argentina with the translation of bidding terms and technical specifications for wired and cell telephone systems for the various international carriers that set business in Argentina, TMS continues to provide its high-quality translation services for all types of telecommunication documents, being involved of late, in the satellite development programs of Argentina which, by the same token, continue to require bidding term documents and service agreements for those purposes.
For over 12 years, TMS professionals have worked for a news agency which required immediate translation turnover of news bits on all information technology innovations and markets appearing every single day in the media all over the world.
This exposure to the whole evolution of information technology has contributed a sound education on the matter, allowing TMS to offer localization services of the highest quality and demand.
In addition, in the field of information system practical usage, Translation Made Simple has contributed the localization operation for significant operation and administration automation projects, through the application of SAP systems in several international chemical and mining companies with a global footprint.

Trying to end the decline of Bobwhite Quail in West Texas…
September 13, 2013 by Gregg
Texas used to be the last stronghold of wild bobwhite quail – especially the western part of the start. Unfortunately, it looks like the bird's numbers are falling there just like they're falling throughout the US. Sporting Classic Daily posted this video about one group trying to turn things around for Gentleman Bob.
Operation Idiopathic Decline is the largest disease and parasite study every done on quail. It's trying to figure out why west Texas's quail population is collapsing, and they're trying to find a way to stop this decline.

Is South Dakota the next Pennsylvania?
Back in the late 1960's, Pennsylvania was the South Dakota of pheasant hunting. Sportsman harvested over million pheasants a season from this eastern state and in 1971 over 1.3 million of them were taken by Pennsylvania hunters. But by the mid 1990s these numbers had crashed and fewer than 255,000 pheasants were being killed a year.
South Dakota, 2012
In 2006, South Dakota hunters killed over two million pheasants. I hunted out there last fall and while the birds numbers are down, there were still plenty of pheasants around. But this may not be the case in the future.
StarTribune reporter Dennis Anderson filed this story on changes going on in South Dakota and how these changes are impacted one of America's favorite upland birds. Here's an excerpt:
"Anyone who thinks South Dakota can continue to produce the pheasants, ducks and other wildlife it has in the past just doesn't know what's going on here. You're quite possibly witnessing the end of an era. Some of the nation's last, best prairies and potholes are going away." Read the full article now.

Take your sound to the next level!
A song without automation is like food without seasoning. Sure, it's food, but it's boring! Automation really brings your sounds to life and gives so much energy. There are a few main uses for automation I want to cover today, so take notes!
If every section of your songs sounded the same, people would probably quit listening pretty quick. If you pay attention to the songs on the radio though, you'll start to notice that even though each chorus may play the same notes, it sounds different each time. One thing that can help achieve that is using automation to bring one or several parameters down for the first chorus, then up higher for the second, and higher still for the third. Or maybe the first verse has a filter with the cutoff in a certain position, and then the cutoff is moved for the next verse. Experiment with this, and I'm sure you'll immediately get better results!
Much like the last point, you can use automation to add cool effects to your tracks. Most of the time artists don't just turn on a delay or filter or reverb at full strength. That would be jarring and really stick out. Instead, they fade it in slowly. Filter sweeps like this are such a common occurrence, I bet you can find them in almost every EDM song out there!
Imagine if you had a project that when you added an effect it had to stay on for the entire song. Can you hear the absolute chaos that would happen? Either that or you'd have to be extremely picky about which effects to use. Well I have good news for you! You can use automation to turn effects off and on! So you can go crazy and have a ton of effects for a certain section of a song, and then turn them all off for the next. This can be really useful when you want to use one synth sound for multiple parts, but you want the sound to change, like using a lot of distortion for example. This can really help each section stand out as well, which is always a good thing.
Next time you write a song, try using a lot of automation in it. I like to write out all of the parts and arrange the full song before I worry about this step just to keep things simple. At the end, notice how much different the song would be without it. Instead of a bunch of loops and blocks of sound, you have a flowing song that sounds great!
Beginner – Start a new project and add a synth and one effect plugin. Now choose one parameter in the synth to automate and one in the effect. Play the loop back with the automation turned on and then turned off. Notice how much different it sounds?
Question: What do you like to automate the most? Which point above is something you've never though about before? How do you think it could help you with your productions?


Declan has always been a very musically influenced (and I hope talented) child. From the time he could walk, he could booty bounce better than some adults I know! He has always been more into any program which involves lots of music and singing as well. Not only is his brother coming home with all the new lessons he is learning in first grade, but he is sharing them with his little brother constantly.
Now that Declan is getting to the age where we need to start implementing more learning to prepare him for school next year, I've found myself suggesting movies and programs that implement learning and music for Declan during the day. Rock n' Learn has become one of my go to brands from the very first review product they sent my way.
This has been one of those companies I knew from the beginning I had to work with them because of how the boys learn and coming from such a musically talented father. It was bound to happen! This time around Rock n' Learn sent me over their 1st and 2nd Grade Collection of DVD's which we were very excited to watch the moment it arrived!
I cannot believe the types of things children are learning so early nowadays. I feel as if I was definitely not learning these types of things at this age and honestly barely remember several of the subjects now as an adult! Fortunately, children are much smarter than we were in previous generations! They have so much more technology than we did and it has helped them learn so much faster!
Both boys not only loved this collection and could work on different aspects together helping each other with the more difficult parts. Alana (my teenager) even enjoys interacting with the boys right along with the show. I can honestly say, I find myself singing the songs when it isn't on OR when there are no children in the room. They are catchy and make learning so much more fun for the kids.
Discount: Enter Promo Code 'KR8822' to enjoy 25% off your purchases NO EXPIRATION!
Recommendation: Now this may seem like an expensive price for a few DVD's but I will say, you are paying more for an educational experience than just a DVD. The kiddos loved it and I know they are learning when they don't even know it.
Giveaway: Rock n Learn is going to give one of A Lucky Ladybug's lucky readers a 1st and 2nd Grade Collection of DVD's to have of their own!
My kids are adults now (24 and 21) and boy do I miss them being little. I have 5 nephews ages 13, 12, 9, 6 and 4 and it is great when we all get together. I have a daughter and son so never really experienced all the craziness with so many boys besides when my son had his friends over.

Q: Equivalency of regularization among LME, Bayesian and penalized least squares Suppose that we have a linear mixed-effects (LME) model
$\boldsymbol{y}=X\boldsymbol{\beta} + Z\boldsymbol{u} + \epsilon$
where $y$ is an $n \times 1$ vector of responses and $X$ and $Z$ are design matrices for the fixed and random effects of dimensions $n × m$ and $n × q$, respectively. With the assumptions of $u \sim N(0, R)$ and $\epsilon \sim N(0, \sigma^2I)$, $u$ can be predicted through BLUP.
I believe that $u$ can be equivalently predicted through two other approaches. One is the hierarchical Bayesian framework,
$\boldsymbol{y}|Z,\beta,Z,u \sim N(X\boldsymbol{\beta}+ Z\boldsymbol{u}, \sigma^2I)\\
u\sim N(0, R)$
And the other approach is penalized least squares (PLS),
$\underset{\beta,u}{argmin} (y-X\beta-Zu)^T(y-X\beta-Zu) + \lambda u^TR^{-1}u$,
where $R^{-1}$ and $\lambda$ are the penalty matrix and parameter, respectively.
My question is, does the equivalency among the three approaches still hold when the assumption of $\epsilon ~ N(0, \sigma^2I)$ is relaxed? For example, what happens when there is a serial correlation structure (e.g., AR(2) or ARMA(1,1)) in residuals $\epsilon$? I guess that the estimation for the serial structure can be incorporated as part of the iterative process for LME and the Bayesian framework. How about PLS?

Rated 5 out of 5 by NotoriousBLP from Great Addition to the Utility Board These boxes work great with the utility board, I purchased them to hold misc craft supplies that I use frequently, like post it's and stamps and misc hooks for the Utility Board. They add a finishing to touch to the appearance of the Elfa system while keeping items at arms reach.
Rated 5 out of 5 by elpc from For a tool box We added these boxes to my husbands tool box for all of his various screws, nuts, bolts, etc... and they work perfectly. We added the labels to them and he loves it.
Rated 2 out of 5 by inmyopinion from won't stay on board I would suggest passing on these, and the utility boards. They need to rework the entire system, as these boxes will fall off with the slightest movement. Wait until they correct all of the flaws, as they can not be securely attached to the board, but the plastic hooks are by far the worst!
Rated 5 out of 5 by InfoBabe from Needed 4 more The original package only contained 2 each. I needed 4 more to hold all the sewing supplies. I wish that they had all 4 sides taller.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JulieInNJ from Great for spices! We used these on our utility board to hold spices. They hold 4 normal jars and it looks really nice.
Do you have a box to fit utility board that will hold Christmas cards?
Would like a wider box to handle Christmas cards and sheets of labels.
No, we only offer the three sizes shown at this time.
Are there canisters to hold small items available for the gift wrap grid?
I'm looking for the canisters that are pictured in the 4th picture? They appear to be holding pins, rubber bands, beads, etc.
The propping in the 4th picture includes our Magnetic See & Store Containers.
I would like to know if you can hook the elfa utility Board Boxes to a White elfa Easy Hang Standards?
I have a bookshelf using the easy hang standards and I would like to attach two of these boxes to the standard one on top of each other.
Our elfa utility Board Boxes do not hook onto elfa Easy Hang Standards or elfa freestanding Uprights.

A local resort has gained international recognition in a book by a well known travel writer.
Yasawa Island Resort and Spa has been named as one of the top 10 most romantic resorts in the world. The rating was published in a book titled, Confessions of a Luxury Hotel Addict, by travel writer, Matthew Brace.
In the book, Mr Brace said the hotels named on the list shared a magical, almost indefinable and romantic spirit. Mr Brace said the ratings were partly due to their natural surroundings but was mainly achieved by the inspired vision of the designers, owners, managers and staff of the resort. Ten years ago, Mr Brace set out on his mission of discovering how luxurious and romantic hotels could be.
He lists Yasawa Island Resort as the seventh most romantic resort, ahead of the Prince Hotel in Melbourne, Amaniena in Morocco and Sunset Tower in Los Angeles. Other resorts on the list include The Bale in Bali, Londra Palace in Venice, Sila Evason Hideaway in Koh Samui, The Observatory in Sydney, Club at the Legian, Bali and The Chedi in Oman.
Resort managing director, Garth Downey said they were delighted with such a glowing endorsement and it was a great honour for Yasawa Island Resort to be included among the world's best hotels in a book of this calibre.
"The coverage Matthew Brace has provided for us, both in his book and in the Australian media, is also of great benefit to Fiji as a whole," Downey said.
"Many of the comments Matthew makes in his book relate to the hospitality, warmth and sincerity of the Fijian people and this has always been our greatest asset.
