Nationwide, Americans' well-being improved in 2016 compared to 2015 and 2014. While many enjoy comfortable, healthy, and happy living and take their well-being for granted, not all Americans enjoy such standards. For many, hardship, pain, and despair can be a part of life as for them basic elements of well-being remain elusive.
The well-being of Americans varies dramatically, depending on where they live. To capture Americans' general well-being, Gallup surveyed 177,281 people to build the Well-Being Index in partnership with health and wellness organization Healthways. The index measures whether individuals feel a sense of purpose, have supportive relationships, are financially secure, are satisfied with their community, and are in good physical health. According to the survey, Hawaii residents report the highest well-being, West Virginia's the lowest.
While high income is by no means a guarantee of a satisfying life, affluence can potentially lead to comfort and higher quality of life. California has the ninth highest median household income in the country at $64,500 a year. On the other hand, the state has a slightly higher share of residents living in poverty at 15.3%, versus the national poverty rate of 14.7%.
The state has one of the most physically healthy populations. California has among the lowest rates of cardiovascular disease and heart disease death in the country. Also, the state reports very low rates of obesity and physical inactivity, which can contribute to poor health outcomes.
People's perception of their own well-being is often the product of a number of objective socioeconomic factors. 24/7 Wall St. matched Gallup's ranking with data on health habits and outcomes, educational attainment, crime, and several other socioeconomic measures.
Witters further explained how difficult it can be for a state to change its position in the rankings. A few states, including Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, and Minnesota have been in the top 10 in all nine years of the Gallup survey. Other states, such as Mississippi, Kentucky, and West Virginia remain consistently on the low end of the ranking.
However, while income levels can make self-evaluations more entrenched, working to improve certain aspects of communities can dramatically raise well-being, even in low-income areas. Karissa Price, president of Healthways, told 24/7 Wall St. that a Healthways initiative, known as the Blue Zones Project, invests in well-being and aims to improve longevity and quality of life, irrespective of income. Blue Zones identified certain behaviors and attitudes common in some of the world's happiest and longest living populations, such as having a sense of purpose, eating right, and cultivating close relationships.
Many of the factors that can contribute to better overall well-being can do so in multiple, interrelated ways. We considered college attainment rates, which bore a strong relationship with Gallup's rank of overall well-being among states. Most of the states with low college attainment had among the worst overall well-being. A college education can contribute to well-being by increasing the chances of obtaining a good job and adequate income. A college education has also been shown to provide people with a sense of purpose and direction in life.
Obviously, having or not having a job can have a significant impact on personal happiness. The quality of life among employed populations still varies considerably, however, based on a variety of factors summarized within Gallup's purpose category: having the right career for you, liking what you do each day, using your strengths, learning and growing, setting and reaching goals, and being inspired by a leader. Because of how varied work experiences can be, employment levels and a population's reported sense of purpose in life are not in lockstep across states.
Residents of states with the highest life evaluations typically report similar behaviors and health outcomes. Obesity, smoking, and exercise, for example, are all far more common in low well-being states.

This tour is the heart and soul of our company. It was our first tour and still our most popular. When we were planning PhotoTourPros.Com we had it in mind that we would take our clients to the beautiful locations in and around the National Parks of the American Southwest known as The Grand Circle. It would be in these places that we would teach our touring guests the principals and techniques of great photography.
Few places on earth offer as much rugged wild landscape with relatively easy access. This tour centers around the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Teton national Monument. Just for good measure we throw in Yellowstone National Park as well. This tour offers ample opportunity to do some high adventure activities as well as world class fishing.
This tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland begins and ends in London. We visit the early man site of Stonehenge and the Long Man of Wilmington, as well as the ancient Roman settlement of Aquae Soleis, Today known as Bath. Our exploration of the West Hams, the Lake District and the Pennines take us to unparalleled beauty. We will venture to the Hebrides of Scotland and the Southwest Coast of Ireland. And of course no trip to the Celtic lands would be complete without a quick journey to the Highlands.


The practice of faculty relying on bundled textbooks and, specifically, access-code materials to provide course problem sets, quizzes, tests and case studies, has wreaked havoc with student efforts to find cheaper textbook alternatives. According to a new report from the Student PIRGs, among a sample group of schools, 45 percent of these supplemental resources were unavailable from any source other than the campus bookstore. As the report's authors noted, the use of those bundles, which exist behind paywalls, eliminates the ability of students to "shop around" — which means they're "forced to pay full price for these materials." They also can't resell their textbooks because the access codes typically have expiration dates.
Student PIRGs is an offshoot of U.S. PIRG, a nonprofit consumer advocacy group, which in 2004 launched a "Make Textbooks Affordable" campaign. The latest research project examined 40 public and private nonprofit two-year and four-year colleges. Based on institutional research data, the organization identified the 10 courses taken most often across all of those schools. These "core" courses were then cross-referenced with their required class materials. Nationally, students spent an average of $153 per course in the study; that would drop to $92 per course if they chose the least expensive option.
In places where the course bundles were unique to the campus, the average price at the bookstore was $157. When students could buy the bundles in other places, such as online, the average price at the bookstore was $162 — but students could cut 23 percent off the cost by buying the material on Amazon. In classes that didn't use bundles, the average price was $134, but the savings were better, since students could shop for a used book option.

Those schools that have invested in open educational resources, the researchers found, generated "significant savings" for students. As one example, Greenfield Community College in Massachusetts used OER in three of six core courses, which cost students "as little as" $31 per course compared to a national average of $153. Greenfield runs a competitive grant program to support faculty as they transition their courses to OER.
The project concluded that a switch to OER in the 10 introductory courses assessed at the 40 schools covered in the study would result in a savings of $13 million in one semester. Extrapolating that across all colleges and universities in the country, the savings would be $1.5 billion per year in course material costs. As the report pointed out, all of these subjects have OER curriculum available from OpenStax or other open textbook producers.
For comparison, the report included listings of each subject and the textbooks used across the colleges in the sample. For example, the elementary statistics course includes four publishers' options. On the upper end is Elementary Statistics with Excel, used at Aurora University. The cost at the bookstore there was $240.95. On the low end, a suggested open alternative was OpenIntro Statistics with MyOpenMath online courseware, available for free digital download.
The report also offered recommendations: Students are encouraged to promote the concept of affordable textbooks on their campuses and work with student government to pass resolutions calling for an OER grant program. Faculty are urged to check out the numerous OER repositories, including Open Textbook Library and the OER Commons, to find inexpensive options for their courses.
"With open educational resources, there are no access codes and students never lose access to their core content," said Nicole Finkbeiner, associate director of institutional relations for OpenStax, which is based at Rice University. "This enables students to continue to use and refer to their core content as they move forward in their studies, when studying for advancement exams, and in their professional lives, without any additional costs or barriers."
"Publishers' prices can change, while open access material will always be free," added Kaitlyn Vitez, higher education advocate for U.S. PIRG. "We need to ensure that students pay less to succeed and stay in college after they've worked so hard to get there."

Sheesh, the filthy rich. Ghosn's mistreatment does not mean he is an honorable man.
Yes, it is common sense that you write an application, and Versailles will let you use the royal residence for free, and provide a Marie Antoinette-themed dinner and party, complete with entertainers in period costumes. All for free.
I thought of doing it for my wedding, but it was a hustle to go all the way to Paris. Used the imperial palace instead.
It was a profoundly man-made disaster that could and should have been foreseen and prevented," said Kiyoshi Kurokawa, chairman of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission, established by the National Diet of Japan.
.But when one compares the situations, Fukushima vs Nissan, we cannot but be chocked at the difference of treatments which confirms that the purpose of the trial has very little to do with money! !
Japan'image in the world is already tarnished by a legal treatment akin to harassment even if the prosecutor released Ghosn US right arm, after having fell in the treacherous trap of his own making. All of this comes after Japan announced that whale killings will re-start later this year.
It was legally paid for as a corporate event for a public figure of a publicly trading company. MANY events in publicly trading companies in Japan and abroad can claim weddings as a company event.
It is insulting, please do not comment if you are unaware of corporate law and tax laws..
But if your Lawyers are allowing thier communications to be lost in translation...no wonder they couldn't make a case for bail?
The lawyer in France quoted here is not the same as the Japanese lawyer involved in requests that He be released on bail.
So he admits it. Hush money. Increase his sentence. Remember the recent story for the old guy detained and arrested for overfilling his ¥100 coffee in a combini?
50K is seriously nothing if this is the ONLY thing they have found.
But seriously, if that is French tax law, he was silly to not have reported it and paid the tax.
I have a better idea, old man. Respect the corporate laws of Japan.
Ghosn's lawyer in France, Jean-Yves Le Borgne, told AFP that the executive "stands ready" to repay the money, adding that his client was "not aware he owed it because he had not been billed".
Unfortunately, it is too late, but it is also too early in a sense that he will start a chain of repayments to all charges against him. He should get out the jail as quick as possible.
CH3CHO, you are not a judge, are you ?
What part of this is intangible?
Renault had signed a 2.3-million-euro sponsorship deal with the palace.
The terms of the deal were that Renault could benefit in return from Versailles access and other services worth a maximum 25 percent of the deal.
Ghosn had a wedding party that would have cost 50,000-euro but the fee was waived.
It's unbelievable how some people here side with and protect him as if he was some spiritual leader or God despite being fully aware of his misdeeds.
50k is nothing? Even if it was just one cent, it's principally not zero! If we talk, then we talk about principles, not quantity.
Calm down lad, it's getting boring how you spread your Ghosn fetish here.
There was no bill, so Renault wasn't charged. What's the problem again? It hurt their egos?
All the allegations thrown at him, he has a perfectly logical explanation. Crooked or not, he is way above anybody's league, especially Japan.
The only plausible charge for him is the one he did in 2008, and even that needed all the technicalities Japan can find. He is not powerful, it's just that the Nissan oyaji's are too weak. No one else there should run Nissan. Shareholders should run away.
Versailles let Nissan use the place for free to show gratitude. No crime.
He donated Versailles using Nissan money a few months before his wedding . Like other circumstances, he probably donated for his personal gain. The company group has 25 percent benefit of the 2.3 million euros donated, that is 575,000 euros, of which he used 50,000 euros for his wedding. He did not pay back to the company or did not report the gain. Why not a crime?
Why don't you apply that to yourself. Tu connais quoi des lois en France ? Already about Japanese law, you don't seem to know the basics. Would you even be able to read the law's text ? Go ahead. Look for ABS in code de commerce, art. L. 241-3 et L. 242-6.
You will read he faces 5yrs of jail and 375K euros fine. Note that it's 7yrs and 500K if the case is international.
Nissan paid money for the repairwork of Versailles.
No, Renault, a French company did. You're not on the Nissan thread. Ghosn has multiple unrelated cases, including one of DV Lebanon. Or that would be a huge global plot and they are all linked ?
Evaluating intangible gratitude in terms of money is no business of tax office.
You'll be surprised. Check "mécenat d'entreprise". It was defined in details by French Ministry of Culture, businesses receive big tax discounts for doing it and the other reward from the receiving institution (in this case, the usage of party venues) is defined by rules restricting it to business usage.
Apparently, that was the second event. On his 60th birthday, Ghosn already hosted a huge party in Versailles. He had it "covered" under the pretext of the anniversary of Nissan-Renault Alliance (but then why on HIS day not the Alliance's day ?). The guests were a few Nissan and Renault execs, and auditors say all the others are unknown as Nissan/Renault staff/partners and they seem to be friends/relatives of Mr Ghosn (his b-day guests).
oh you meanlike Kobe Steel , KYB, Olympus, Toshiba various Japanese banks, and how many of their CEO spent time in detention or even in prison, or is the magical apologetic bow all that is needed to clear Japanese of not "Respecting the corporate laws of Japan"
CAN claim weddings/birthdays/Christmas/bar mitzvah or whatever religous event as a claimed company event.
La Farto de frog is saying anything in a negative light.
Is that registering for you Mousier frog?
Media is throwing any 'news' on a constant basis to pile up so the common layman's can agree to public opinions being shaped so people as zombies agree to it easily without logic or hard facts. As mentioned investigative journalism died decades ago..
Yeah they reported WMD 'facts' perfectly in Iraq ha..
French Government owns a large stake in Renault Versailles is a gov owned entity, multiple channels financial dept, accountants, lawyers would of been involved, so how is this news exactly?

How to Play Shove Ha'Penny
Countdown to the new year playing this dart game!
Shove Ha'Penny Dart Game Rules
Originally played on a polished board using actual pennies, Shove Ha'Penny is a classic British game now designed for the dartboard.
This game can be played with any number of players, but is best with 2 to 4 players. Determine who throws first with the toss of a coin or the single nearest dart to the bullseye.
To play Shove Ha'Penny, the dartboard is segmented 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and center including the inner and outer bullseye. The other segments on the board have no scoring value.
The object of the game is to get three darts in each of the scoring segments. Once a player gets three darts in a scoring segment, the segment is closed for that player. Whoever gets all three in each segment first, wins!
Unlike many dart games, the order in which you get all 3 darts in each segment does not matter. Any player can throw a 2, 5, and 7 in one turn and they all would count.
But, the name of the game is much trickier. If a player has previously closed a scoring segment, and hits that scoring segment again, the dart then counts as a point to another player that needs the point to 'close' that segment.
Keep a keen eye because one loose dart could cost you the game!

Am I eligible to set-up an SMSF?
Who can set up an SMSF together?
Can someone who is physically or mentally disabled have an SMSF?
What should I name my fund?
An SMSF gives you control over your superannuation and how it is invested. However, control also means being responsible for managing your retirement funds, which involves significant time and effort. Before you set up an SMSF, it's important you understand your legal responsibilities. As trustee of your SMSF you are ultimately responsible for running your SMSF and ensuring it complies with superannuation law. Before getting started with your SMSF, spend some time reading through our online articles which help you understand who can set up an SMSF and the big decisions you need to make as part of setting up your fund.


If you're a big fan of the Google Form like me, you may have noticed that the icon has changed colors. No longer does the form share the color green with it's counterpart, the Google Sheet, it now has has it's own purple icon.
I noticed this a few days ago and thought it was a great idea to acknowledge my favorite Google tool with it's own color, since I often get confused between the results that are displayed in a spreadsheet and the form itself, when using multiple tabs. Upon further investigation I learned that the Google Form has a new look completely.
To explore the new Google form you will need to accept the option to Try the new Google Forms, which can be found in a purple bar at the top of an existing form. If you're afraid to change your perfectly good form, don't worry. The transformation starts with a preview and at that point you have the option of going back to the old version, for now.
I took a chance on Google and transformed one of my most useful and beloved forms to the new version. Although I prefer the text alignment in the old form, I decided to accept the changes in order to share the new version in my upcoming webinar with Simple K12. This particular form includes video, images and interesting navigation, and I'm happy to report that no functionality was lost in the transformation. Here is my old form, transformed and embedded. Please note: this is not your typical form.
What's New with Google Forms?
The only changes I discovered are in the way that the form looks and feels. While the old form required searching through menu options to add questions, images, video and page breaks, the new form uses common icons to perform the same tasks. The icons, which are consistent with those found in the Google Classroom, tell users what they do when users scroll over them with a mouse. The new form has a color palette at the top of the screen that allows users to easily change the color of a form or add an image. This feature was available in the old form, but perhaps not as easy to find.
There are many ways to power up your classroom with a Google Form. Here are a few of my favorites.
Create a Google Form for pre-assessment and pre-teaching by providing students with opportunities to learn more about unknown concepts by adding screencasts and tutorials based on their answers.
Use a Google Form as an exit ticket to check for understanding. Turn multiple choice or true/false questions into a self-grading quiz by using the Add On Flubaroo on the spreadsheet of results.
Create an InBox to collect any digital assignments that come with a link.
If you are a Simple K12 member looking for ways to power your classroom with Google Forms, I hope you will attend our webinar on Saturday, October 10th at 11:00 am EDT. I'll be sharing several ways to use Google Forms and Google Docs to power up your classroom.
Thanks for sharing your observation. I like the change of colour too; my favourite colour purple. 🙂 I have noticed another change… when I create a new form now, it doesn't seem to let me see the responses in a spreadsheet. Is this true? Or can I actually still open a spreadsheet of the form? Please share if you know anything about this. Thanks.

Workers in the education sector are each fitting the equivalent of an additional one and a half days work into the average working week, according to UK recruiter Randstad.
In a survey of over 2,000 British employees, Randstad found that, on average, British teachers, lecturers and teaching assistants feel they currently have to perform the job of 1.3 people meaning they are covering 30% more work than one person should be; the equivalent of fitting an additional one and a half days worth of work into the ordinary working week. The education sector mirrors the national picture with the average British worker also feeling they cover the equivalent workload of 1.3 people.
While nearly two fifths (37%) of education workers feel their workload is suitable for one person, one in five (19%) feel that they are doing the work of one full time and one part-time member of staff. Similarly, another one in five (22%) believe their role needs two full-time people to manage the level of work and one in twenty-five (4%) feel they are doing the work of at least two full-time members of staff – as well as an additional one part-time person.
Nearly half (45%) of employees in the sector feel they are working harder now than they were twelve months ago while only 14% feel their workloads have eased over this period.
A third of employees (34%) said the extra work was down to an ever increasing focus on achievement levels and results as well as more responsibility, while nearly a quarter (23%) blamed job cuts. Nearly one in five (19%) said they were doing more work to ensure job security.
The rise in workload is taking its toll on the education workforce. 28% of employees feel more stressed now than they did six months ago, nearly two in five (37%) said it takes longer to switch off at the end of work than it did six months ago and over one in ten (13%) have rows at home because of work worries or stress.
Rising stress and work worries also mean that holidays are unable to provide suitable respite. Over two fifths (44%) of education employees don't feel they can completely switch off from work when on holiday with one in ten (11%) stating they know that the work waiting for them on their return will make them feel like they've had no break at all.

This was quite a moving, and touching, read for me. We follow the brother and sister teenager duo, Wade and Mira, on a paranormal adventure that intertwines their lives with the fates of Karlen and Andy. The basis of the adventure unveils the history of the Cornelius plantation in all its brutal details that split the true love of Karlen and Andy. Mira is able to see the ghosts, one of which continuously visits her until Mira begins to delve into their pasts. All of the paranormal adventures also lead back into Wade and Mira's own family, their parents, Sara and Michael Cullen.
Wonderful characterization and with just the right touch of emotions brings forth a book that I feel comfortable to have my twin tweens read. Very excited to have read the first of three I received as part of this book tour. There are six all-told, one day I shall read the rest.

The sequel to the #1 best seller, Cornelius, continues to work on your emotions with the story of an innocent child, Rosie, the daughter of Mira Cullen.
The basis of Cornelius' Revenge is between Rosie's grandfather, Michael Cullen, and the haunting of the Ferguson House. I truly applaud the author on being able to weave current and past social issues into a paranormal reading that brings to light our brutal history that ends with healing. Characterization gives another depth, this time in Mira Cullen's father.

Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Congressman Tom Cole (R-OK) have been selected to receive the Edwin C. Whitehead Award for Medical Research Advocacy for their steadfast commitment to increasing investments in research to advance innovative studies focused on preventing and eradicating diseases that take a tremendous toll on families and our economy. They will be honored at Research!America's Advocacy Awards Dinner on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at the Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C.
"Through their visionary work, Senator Blunt and Congressman Cole led the charge on Capitol Hill in providing the largest increase to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget in more than a decade," said Research!America Chair John Edward Porter. "They inspired other policymakers to bring research to the forefront of American priorities to ensure scientists have additional resources to tackle our most threatening health challenges. Our nation reaps numerous economic and social benefits when investments in research are strengthened."
Senator Blunt and Congressman Cole, chairmen of the Senate and House subcommittees responsible for funding the NIH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and other key health agencies, are being honored for their extraordinary commitment to bolstering funding for medical research. Working together, these two leaders secured the largest appropriated (or discretionary) increase in NIH funding since 2003. The fiscal year 2016 omnibus appropriations bill provides a total of $32 billion for NIH overall, which includes $5 billion for the National Cancer Institute, a $350 million increase for Alzheimer's research, $200 million for the Precision Medicine Initiative, and a $300 million CDC increase focused on disease prevention and biodefense research.
"As Chairman of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and Related Agencies, I was proud to secure a $2 billion increase for the National Institutes of Health this year," Blunt said. "It's an honor to be recognized by Research!America, and humbling to see all of the groundbreaking efforts that are underway to advance progress toward lifesaving cures. Continuing our investment in biomedical research will not only give hope to families battling disease, it will also allow our country to remain on the cutting edge of medical innovation, create jobs, and substantially lower health care costs over the long term."
Blunt serves as the Vice Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference. He is the Chairman of the Senate Rules Committee. In addition to chairing the Senate Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies, he serves on the Agriculture, Interior, Defense, Foreign Operations, and Transportation Subcommittees. He also serves on the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Blunt worked with Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and introduced the Excellence in Mental Health Act in February 2013 to put community mental health centers on an equal footing with other health centers by improving quality standards and fully funding community services and offering patients increased services like 24-hour crisis psychiatric care, counseling and integrated services for mental illness. The bill was signed into law in 2014.
In addition to chairing the House Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies, Cole is a member of the Defense and Interior subcommittees and also sits on the Budget and Rules committees. Along with spearheading efforts to increase funding for NIH and CDC, Cole co-sponsored and supported the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act, which was signed into law in April 2014. By redirecting taxpayer dollars from political party conventions, the law freed up additional federal funding for pediatric medical research to help overcome childhood cancer, autism and many other diseases impacting children.
"Last year brought with it a truly significant moment for the future of medical research, and I consider it a great privilege to have been part of it," said Cole. "Early on in my tenure as LHHS chair, I recognized that adequate disease research was not only a clearly unmet need in our society, but it was an issue that could and should be met with bipartisan cooperation and agreement by lawmakers. As much as I am honored to receive this award, I am even more pleased that the recent investment in research brings us much closer than before to finding cures and slowing down or even preventing diseases. I am hopeful we can build on this progress in the fiscal year 2017 appropriations process."
Research!America's 2016 Advocacy Awards dinner honors outstanding individuals and organizations in advocacy for medical, health, and scientific research. The Whitehead Award, named in honor of Research!America founder, Edwin C. "Jack" Whitehead, recognizes exemplary leaders, particularly those in public office, who have demonstrated a deep commitment to advancing medical and health research as a national priority and who galvanize others in support of science.
Other 2016 Advocacy Award winners are Harold Varmus, M.D., Lewis Thomas University professor, Weill Cornell Medicine and Nobel Laureate; John Noseworthy, M.D., president and CEO, Mayo Clinic; Trish and George Vradenburg, co-founders, UsAgainstAlzheimer's (UsA2); Robert Langer, Sc.D., David H. Koch Institute professor, MIT; The ALS Association; and Lisa Paulsen and The Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).

Fashion also has an #OscarsSoWhite problem. Time to change that.
The fashion industry has a reputation for not being the most inclusive of spaces, but things are changing. theFashionSpot's recent diversity report stated that the Spring 2017 runway shows were the most diverse in history, and we are seeing more and more campaigns that give people of various backgrounds representation.
We still have a ways to go in terms of boosting diversity on and off the runway, but in anticipation of New York Fashion Week (NYFW) on Feb. 9, we'd like to call attention to a range of designers from all different backgrounds helping the fashion world veer away from the #OscarsSoWhite issue. Some of these designers have long roots in America, others are first generation, some are immigrants, while others have ties to countries throughout the world.
It is designers' different backgrounds and unique histories that they often draw inspiration from, and the reason why we get so many unique collections at NYFW.
Check out just a few of these designers we are excited to see this coming fashion week.
Jason Wu was born in Taiwan before his family moved to Canada. Now in New York, he shows his ready-to-wear collections regularly at New York Fashion Week.
Fashion designer Tracy Reese's ready-to-wear collections are a mainstay at New York Fashion Week. Her mission statement is to "Make every women feel beautiful."
Naeem Khan is an Indian-American designer based in New York. He will be presenting his collection of elegant eveningwear at the Fall 2017 shows.
New York-based fashion and costume designer Bibhu Mohapatra was born in Rourkela, Odisha, India. His NYFW is a cannot miss event if you want to see glamorous evening looks.
Asian-American designer Anna Sui is a longtime veteran of New York Fashion Week. She presented her first runway show in 1991 and she is recognized for her playful designs and prints.
Prabal Gurung was born in Singapore and raised in Kathmandu, Nepal. He launched his label in the United States in 2009 and he has shown regularly at New York Fashion Week since then.
Derek Lam founded his namesake label in 2003 and his ready-to-wear collections are a harmonious blend of simplicity, modernism, and special details.
Born and raised in Sendai, Japan, Tadashi Shoji is now based in New York and presents his womenswear collections regularly at NYFW. If you're looking for elegant eveningwear, his show is a must-watch.
After making history as the first designer to show a full hijab collection at the Fall 2016 shows, Indonesian designer Anniesa Hasibuan will present once again.
Designers Brandon Maxwell and Dao-Yi Chow of Public School return to NYFW after taking a break in 2016. The duo's show will be one of the most anticipated events of the season.

Paid parking to start in Al Ain from August
By WAM Updated on 30 July 2017, 1:50 pm UAE
The Integrated Transport Centre announced today that it would implement Mawaqif parking services in Al Ain from August.
The move is part of the centre's commitment to provide world-class solutions to effectively manage parking requirements in the Abu Dhabi, and to resolve the parking problem in Al Ain due to the growing population and significant increase in the number of registered vehicles.
Mohammed Hamad Al Muhairi, Deputy General Manager of the Integrated Transport Centre and head of the Traffic and Parking Team, said that the Mawaqif paid parking scheme would help ease the shortage of parking spaces in some of Al Ain's congested areas. It would also help stop the misuse of limited parking spots and improve the overall aesthetic appearance of Al Ain city, he said.
Work on painting the Mawaqif spaces and installing payment machines has already begun in preparation for the implementation of the system next month.
At present, 121 parking machines have been installed in certain Al Ain districts for phase one of the project. The paid parking scheme will be introduced in the city centre's districts of Al Qasedah, Al Rabenah, Al Nawas, Al Hamirah and Al Salamah.

ON THE 'ON RAMP' AND
ACCELERATING TO SPEED
The General Election phase of the campaign
for the Presidency is now- finally!- underway
Sat 8 Sep 2012
And so the battle for the Presidency in 2012 has now been most fully joined and the core arguments of each side- one arguing that the incumbent President is a miserable failure who should be replaced (are you better off than you were four years ago?), the other that a valiant incumbent President who kept things from falling apart altogether should be allowed to continue the difficult work that, admittedly, still needs to be done (we were once at the very precipice we are still being pulled away from, so why now change horses in the middle of the stream?)- have been most fully made at their respective National Conventions.
Of course, there is ever lurking behind American Elections that old bugaboo: the well-worn adage that "past performance is not a guarantee of future results" and this cuts both ways (positively as well as negatively).
In Governor Romney's case, his own past performance in the private sector is certainly no guarantee of what he might- or might not- be able to do as a President of the United States: for- despite the wishes of many a (more usually, but not always, conservative) politician, pundit or ordinary citizen- Government is not Business!
Yes, Government might well carry on the People's "business" but, in the main, it cannot be run like a business (despite the fact that the very system of American governance is itself based, historically, on one of the earliest forms of the Corporation back in that merry olde England of the late Medieval Period: the English chartered Borough [what we in the United States today would call a Municipal Corporation or, simply, a Municipality] which, in turn, influenced the very form of those Charters granted by the English Crown to its earliest North American colonies which, eventually, would be among the original 13 States of the American Union).
[Indeed, the United States of America itself can be fairly seen as something of a corporate entity: its President is its Chief Executive Officer (and the same can be said of the Governors as regards each respective State of the Union); the Senate was at least originally conceived as something of its Board of Directors (a role that would, soon enough, come to be played by the extraconstitutional Cabinet) and the House of Representatives was- and still is- intended to be representative (hence its very name) of the stockholders (the stockholders being each adult citizen who was- and is- legally entitled to vote at any given time [for we well know- from the pages of American History- that, until fairly recently, all too many within the USofA could not vote- due to property requirements early on and, later, either race or gender), a role the Federal Senate itself came to join in (well before, but especially since, the Senate has been chosen by Popular Vote instead of by the State legislatures, as was the original plan)].
No President can fire- or even outsource [;-)]- Congress, even one made up of majorities of his own Party (for each Major Party is made up of factions within wings which- as was the more apparent in the GOP Convention- do not at all agree in a number of broader areas within a number of political issues [else, there would have been no need for the Republicans to so recently adopt new Party rules to prevent a future "Ron Paul insurgency" and the very term RINO- 'Republican In Name Only'- would not even exist!]) in each of its chambers... or, as a friend of mine once so succinctly put it some years back (when a President of the United States not much to his own political/ideological liking [and it matters not which President to this story] happened to have been elected):
"Hey, at least these guys aren't dictators!"
And, unlike the case in a business, where the company attorney(s) or the Legal Department of a large corporation can only advise the business owner and/or the directors of the company what to do and what not to do, the Legal Department of the United States of America (as well as that in each of its constituent States) is an independent Judiciary the commands of which as to what the Law is (or is not) must- in the end (and like it or not)- be obeyed (pending potential future modification by legislative action approved- or, possibly, re-enacted despite the disapproval- by the chief executive or, where necessary, Constitutional Amendment): else, there is no Rule of Law!
Twenty years ago now, businessman and then-Independent presidential candidate Ross Perot famously said that- when it came to fixing America's problems (in particular, its economic problems)- he would look under the hood, find out what�s wrong, and fix it; at best, he looked like a damned fool and, at worst, like the abject demagogue he mainly was (yet he still was able to garner nearly 19 percent of the Popular Vote back in 1992-- talk about the 'Man on Horseback'!)...
Governor Romney is surely not in Perot's (altogether low) station as a presidential candidate but there still has to be more than "Hey, I ran a business!" behind his own candidacy in this coming election.
On the other hand, President Obama- and rather obviously- has a tougher road to hoe: his own Acceptance Speech (as well as many of the more forward-looking [as opposed to Romney- or more general Republican- bashing] speeches made on the President's behalf at his Party's Convention only just concluded) shows that he well understands this... yet the success of his re-election bid very much depends on his own ability to convince the American electorate that the past (weak) performance of the Economy is- in and of itself- not at all predictive of future conditions should he remain in the White House come next January.
Barack Obama, as had Mitt Romney the week before, well made his own case before his Party's Convention and, as a result, the Nation is to be presented with a stark choice, made evident through the stark contrast between the two standard-bearers, come early November: early 21st Century Fiscal Conservatism versus early 21st Century Progressive Liberalism- each of which has its most devoted supporters who are also the other ideology's more vehement detractors.
Yet once more, I have to go back to that which I wrote back on 1 July of this year where I noted that National elections... are not decided by Party bases: rather, they are decided by the 'Bell Curve' of the American electorate, who are neither ideologically "true believing" conservatives nor liberals and who are not at all strongly tied to the "lines" of either Major Party! This 'Bell Curve' itself is a rather motley mix of Independents, Freethinkers, notorious "ticket splitters" and the like-- it also includes many a registered member of either Major Party who, nonetheless, ever reserve their right to vote for candidates not of the Party with which they might be registered come a General Election... and their numbers are almost always woefully underestimated.
This view is not well approved of by many 'hard core' supporters of either Major Party (as the contents within my e-mail Inbox here at The Green Papers [and, indeed, throughout most of the very existence of The Green Papers, going back to the 2000 Elections], from time to time, have so clearly indicated)- it is even pooh-pooh'd by many (but not all!) leading and well-known political pundits in print as well as on television and radio. The more devoted core of each Major Party- not to mention those wings and factions of said Parties not all too far from said Parties' own respective centers (which, nonetheless, are not the Center!)- very much like to think that they are "the real America" and that the other Party is, somehow, at least something of a political aberration (thus: variations on the theme "we want Our Country back!" have, therefore, appeared- from time to time- within the Histories of both Major Parties precisely because those who have managed to "seize the megaphone" in each such Party do not necessarily see the other as reflecting the best and highest aspirations of Our Nation).
Nevertheless, and in the end, both President Obama and Governor Romney will now have to take their respective arguments (Obama declaring that only the long term will, ultimately, well deal with what is being called the Great Recession; Romney, on the other hand, arguing that what we have already seen in the short term has already failed and it is now time for a new strategy) to the Center of the Nation if they each want to maintain their respective abilities to yet win this year's Presidential Election-- for they each have already taken their respective messages to the center of their own respective Parties (and, despite the claims of Democrats that Romney is already to the right of his own Party, the so-called 'Tea Party' doesn't have its hand on the levers of the Grand Old Party's locomotive [sociocultural conservative tidbits sown throughout a Party Platform do not at all indicate who is really in charge any more than a Party Platform declaring Jerusalem to be the undivided capital of Israel brings Peace between Israelis and Palestinians]-- as I myself replied to someone who wrote me an angry response to one of my Commentaries of this past Spring which included the words "WE are the FUTURE of the Republican Party": That's as may be: but you are certainly not the NOW of the Republican Party and it yet remains to be seen whether you might only end up as its 'Never Was' or even 'Never Will Be'. Thank you for your interest in 'The Green Papers', &c).
It, of course, also remains to be seen whether or not that broad Center in which most Americans live- or so Independent Rhode Island Governor (and former Republican Senator) Linc Chafee claimed before this most recently completed Democratic Convention- will, in fact, once again, help elect Barack Obama President of the United States and/or if former Republican Florida Governor (and unsuccessful Independent United States Senate candidate from that State) is correct when he declared, before that same Convention, that- quoting his Republican predecessor Jeb Bush- Reagan himself would have been too moderate and too reasonable for today's GOP (or- instead, as Crist's many detractors within the Florida Republican Party [many still miffed at Crist's recent Senate bid despite the fact that their own candidate actually won] now so opine- Crist himself is merely an "opportunist": the political equivalent of a baseball player- say, a long-time starter at Triple-A who could never stay in the Majors- who now gets himself released so that he can hook on with another Major League organization for one last try at the "Big Show"...
Half of one doubt, they call it Treason.)
In this regard, then, the Presidential Debates throughout this coming October certainly loom very large (while, as for the sole Vice-Presidential Debate, I have generally found it to be rather useless [although it is, more often than not, great fun to watch!-- but, considering that vice-presidential candidates are the ones who have become the "designated Attack Dogs" of their respective running mates' campaigns, should such a debate even be held considering that Dogfighting is illegal? ;-)]).
In any event: bring yer popcorn!


A little over a year ago, an amendment to Australia's Privacy Act 1988 established mandatory data breach notification obligations. Called the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme (NDB), these new requirements meant that organizations subject to the Act would now be required to notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) of a data breach if the breach was likely to result in serious harm to individuals.
Reports of data breaches fill today's news feeds with alarming frequency. Given the inevitability of breaches—including high-profile ones—state attorneys general are taking a more active role in helping consumers deal with the repercussions of a data breach, investigate data security lapses, and enforce data breach notification laws.
Last week, myself and members of the RADAR team were able to attend the IAPP CCPA Comprehensive in Fremont, California. This day-long program focused on the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), with a special focus on the act's scope, definitions, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) inspiration, and areas for further clarification.
The recent webinar Anatomy of A Privacy Incident: Data Breach Response and Investigation Best Practices dove into the best practices for designing an incident response program that encourages an organization-wide culture of compliance. Panelists Andrew Reeder from Rush University Medical Center and Asra Ali from Healthscape Advisors lead a lively discussion into the ins and outs of compliance programs, covering topics ranging from common presumptions and best practices for managing the phases of incident response within an organization.
The only constant in life is change, and few things in the world of privacy and data protection are evolving as much as breach notification laws. These regulations are more stringent, specific, and numerous than ever before. The constant shifting of breach notification laws makes compliance not a one-and-done activity, but requires constant vigilance to keep abreast of changes.
Data privacy and security incidents occur all the time; the 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report covers a mind-boggling 53,000-plus incidents. Incidents come in all shapes and sizes—electronic, paper, even verbal or visual. They can be as simple as an improperly mailed billing statement or as complex as a highly coordinated cyber-attack on millions of consumers' financial records. Every single one of these incidents must be risk assessed to determine if they are breaches requiring notification.
The landscape of global data breach laws has been marked by continuous change in recent years. One of the most significant this year was the coming into force of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Described by ICO Commissioner Elizabeth Denham as "the biggest change to data protection law in a generation," the GDPR has certainly made an impact.
In recent years, we have seen growing influence of state attorneys general in the realm of consumer data protections. State laws are increasingly requiring AGs be notified in the event of a breach, and state AGs are taking action for noncompliance, filing lawsuits for failure to notify within the required timeframe and reaching hefty monetary settlements for paper based data breaches.
Working with privacy and compliance professionals, one of the challenges we often hear about is how difficult it can be to keep up with ever-changing breach notification regulations. Think of it this way: in the US alone there are 48 separate state breach notification laws (along with Washington, D.C. and three territories), each with their own unique definitions, breach notification triggers, and compliance requirements.
About this time last year, we predicted 2017 would see continued vigilance from the Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in regulating and issuing enforcement actions for HIPAA violations. The results are in, and there was sustained momentum from OCR in the last year, including 196 separate breach cases listed for 2017 on the OCR's so-called "Wall of Shame" breach portal and notable financial settlements for HIPAA violations – in total, OCR received $19,393,000. A full listing of these enforcement settlements from 2017 can be found here.
This year has barely begun and already there's something new in the world of state breach notification requirements. On Jan 1, 2018, revisions to the Maryland Personal Information Protection Act (HB 974) went into effect, adding more specificity to the state's breach notification requirements.

Alien Ant Farm Enter the Studio to Begin Recording New Album
Chad Bowar
It has been more than six years since Alien Ant Farm released 'Up in the Attic,' and now the band is in the studio to record a new album that should be available in early 2013. Alien Ant Farm has entered Groovemaster Studios in Chicago to begin the process. They will be working with Johnny K (Disturbed, Staind) and other producers.
"The band is extremely fired up about going into this record," says singer Dryden Mitchell. "We've had the fortune in the past to work with some of the best in the business (Jay Baumgardner, the DeLeo brothers, Jim Wirt, James Murray) in some of the greatest studios (NRG, Conway, Glitter Dungeon). Johnny K is no exception to the batting average, and his studio in Chicago rivals all the greats. We all plan on a 'newer' sound for the band, at the same time keeping other pop-rock bands in check. This ain't your soccer mom's band, but she can come backstage for an hour or two."
It's the first time since 2003 that Alien Ant Farm's original lineup will record together. Guitarist Terry Corso and bassist Tye Zamora rejoined the group in 2008, and join Mitchell and drummer Mike Cosgrove.
Alien Ant Farm's biggest album was 2001's 'ANTthology,' which went double platinum and spawned the No. 1 single 'Smooth Criminal.' That song, a Michael Jackson cover, was recently named one of Loudwire's Top 21st Century Hard Rock Songs.

Q: Github Actions hides URL's from aws cli We're using Github Actions to realize our CI/CD pipeline in AWS ELB. One of our workflows is requesting logs with commands "aws elasticbeanstalk request-environment-info" and "aws elasticbeanstalk retrieve-environment-info". The problem is when the Github agent gets info from AWS it hides the URL for getting logs in AWS.

Real response:
"EnvironmentInfo": [
        {
            "InfoType": "tail",
            "Ec2InstanceId": "intanceid",

            "Message": "https://elasticbeanstalk-us-east-2-*******.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/resources/environments/logs/someHeaders"
        }

Github agent think that that numbers (https://elasticbeanstalk-us-east-2-123456789) is secret and hide it (https://elasticbeanstalk-us-east-2-*******), but we don't have such secret in Github settings. How we can see full URL?

A: Since your AWS Account ID is set as a Secret, GitHub will automatically redact that string of text anywhere it's found in the Action logs. More info, as well as some methods of getting around it, can be found here.
Edit:
The action aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials masks the Account ID by default. You can unmask it by passing the parameter mask-aws-account-id: false to the action. Here's a link to the relevant part of the schema.

A: Thanks to @mpriscella
The answer is: aws configure credentials automatically hide your Account ID (and maybe other).
There is the way to show it - add param mask-aws-account-id: no (or as mansioned @mpriscella false instead no):
steps:
    - name: Configure my AWS Credentials
      uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v1
      with:
        aws-access-key-id    :  ${{ secrets.MY_AWS_ACCES_KEY }}
        aws-secret-access-key:  ${{ secrets.MY_AWS_SECRET_KEY }}
        aws-region           :  ${{ env.AWS_REGION_NAME }}
        mask-aws-account-id  : no

Q: How to determine the residue of an (arithmetic) Dirichlet series Consider a multiplicative function $f(n)$ that we write in the form $f(n) = h(n)n^a$ for a certain $a>0$ and $h(n)$ a multiplicative function such that $h(n) \asymp 1$ (more precisely, we can take $h(p^k) = (1-p^{-2})^3$ for all $k>0$, even if in fact I am interested in this function with two different values of $h(p)$ and $h(p^2)$). I denote the Dirichlet series $D_f(s)$ associated to $f$.
My question is: what is known about the poles and residues of $D_f$?
I can write what I believe to be true, but maybe extra hypotheses are needed on the function $h(n)$. At least $D_f$ converges for $\Re(s)>a+1$ by the bound on $f(n)$. I think it has a pole at $s=a+1$, and meromorphic continuation up to $\Re(s)>a$. I am particularly interested in the residue of $D_f(s)$ at $s=a$. I guess it is
$$R := \prod_p \left(1 - \frac 1p \right) \left( 1 + \frac{h(p)}{p} + \frac{h(p^2)}{p^2} + \cdots \right)$$
I would like to know if this is true, even up to adding some hypothesis, and why it is so. I thought of it as follows: we know the asymptotics
$$\sum_{n<x} f(n) = \sum_{n<x} h(n)n^a \sim R \frac{x^{a+1}}{a+1}$$
and we know that the Dirichlet series is related by Mellin transform to this partial sum, more precisely
$$D_f(s) = s \int_1^\infty x^{-s-1} \left(\sum_{n<x} f(n) \right) dx \sim \frac{Rs}{a+1} \int_1^\infty x^{a - s} dx \sim \frac{Rs}{(a+1)(a + 1 - s)} $$
Here the residue at $s=a+1$ is obviously $R$, but of course I cannot substitute that roughly the equivalent.

A: *

*With $h(n)=\prod_{p| n} (1-p^{-2})^3$, $H(s)=\sum_n h(n)n^{-s}= \prod_p (1+(1-p^{-2})^3\frac{p^{-s}}{1-p^{-s}})$, $G(s)=\frac{H(s)}{\zeta(s)}=\sum_n g(n)n^{-s}$ you get that
$$G(s)= \prod_p (1-p^{-s})(1+(1-p^{-2})^3\frac{p^{-s}}{1-p^{-s}})=\prod_p (1-p^{-2s}+(1-p^{-s})((1-p^{-2})^3\frac{p^{-s}}{1-p^{-s}}-p^{-s})) $$
from which $g(p)=0,g(p^k)=O(1)$ so that $\sum_{n\le x} |g(n)| = O(x^{1/2+\epsilon}),\sum_{n> x} g(n)/n = O(x^{-1/2+\epsilon})$ and

$$\sum_{n\le x}h(n)= \sum_{d\le x}g(d) \lfloor x/d\rfloor= \sum_{d\le x}x\frac{g(d)}{d}+\sum_{d\le x} O(g(d))=x (G(1)+O(x^{-1/2+\epsilon}))+O(x^{1/2+\epsilon})$$

*

*Next $\log (1+(1-u)^3 \frac{v}{1-v})$ is analytic for $|u|<2r,|v|<2r$ (we don't really care of $r$ just that it is $\in (0,1/2)$) so that for $|u|\le r,|v|\le r$, $\log (1+(1-u)^3 \frac{v}{1-v})=\sum_{m,l} c_{m,l} u^l v^m=\sum_m c_{m,0} v^m+O(u)$ from some coefficients $c_{m,l}\in \Bbb{Q}$ and for $|p^{-s}|\le r$ $$\log (1+(1-p^{-2})^3\frac{p^{-s}}{1-p^{-s}})=\sum_{m\le M} c_{m,0}p^{-sm} +O(p^{-sM})+O(p^{-2})$$
Thus for $\Re(s) > 1/M$ $$\log H(s)-\sum_{p\le r^{-M}}\log (1+(1-p^{-2})^3\frac{p^{-s}}{1-p^{-s}})= \sum_{m\le M}c_{m,0}\sum_{j\le M} \frac{\mu(j)}{j} \log \zeta(smj))+\sum_p O(p^{-sM})$$ $$=\sum_{d\le M} \log \zeta(sd)\sum_{m| d} c_{m,0} \frac{\mu(d/m)}{d/m}+\sum_p O(p^{-sM})$$

*Since the $\sum_p O(p^{-sM})$ term is analytic for $\Re(s)>1/M$ you got the analytic continuation of $H(s)$ to $\Re(s)>1/M$ with some pole/zero/branch point at $1/d$ and $\rho/d$ whenever $\sum_{m| d} c_{m,0} \frac{\mu(d/m)}{d/m}$ is non-zero and/or not an integer, plus some trivial zeros coming from the Euler factors.
It is supposedly obvious that $\sum_{m| d} c_{m,0} \frac{\mu(d/m)}{d/m}$ won't be zero for all $d$ large enough so that $H(s)$ has infinitely many poles/zeros/branch points accumulating near $\Re(s)=0$ (a natural boundary with no analytic continuation beyond).

A CAMPAIGNER fighting for Portishead's controversial Cabstand road layout to be scrapped is calling for residents to join him to question community leaders at North Somerset Council's AGM.Mr Jolley wants people at the authority's yearly meeting to ask the question 'What do we have to do to get some action?" The appeal follows a public march where more than 1,000 people turned out to press for the lights system to be scrapped. The march was held the week before a meeting of the authority's scrutiny panel who discussed the future of the road system before making recommendations to improve the troublesome junction.Mr Jolley said: "This is an important event in the council's calendar and I feel it will also be a good opportunity to ask what we have to do to get some action as clearly the petition and the march don't seem to have carried enough weight with the right people. "The meeting is open to the public and I am looking forward to seeing as many people as possible in the public gallery.

Thomas Edward Lawrence (født 16. august 1888, død 19. maj 1935) var en britisk arkæolog, officer og forfatter, også kendt som T.E. Lawrence og mest berømt som Lawrence of Arabia. Han blev internationalt kendt for sin rolle som officer ved det arabiske oprør mod det Osmanniske Rige under første verdenskrig. Lawrences offentlige profil var dels et resultat af den amerikanske journalist Lowell Thomas' sensationsprægede rapporter om oprøret og hans efterfølgende foredragsturne, dels af Lawrences beretning om oprøret Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Mange briter ser ham som en af landets største krigshelte, mens mange arabere ser hans rolle som overvurderet i forhold til arabernes egen indsats under kampen for selvstændighed. Lawrence var vidende om, at Frankrig og England før krigens afslutning havde delt det arabiske område imellem sig (Sykes-Picot-aftalen). Derfor har araberne grund til at hævde, at han førte dem bag lyset, når han lovede dem selvstændighed.
Storfilmen "Lawrence of Arabia" fra 1962 med Peter O'Toole i titelrollen forholder sig meget frit til mange af de historiske begivenheder.
