The Nutcracker is a ballet about a young girl named Clara who attends a party on Christmas Eve. For a present, she receives a nutcracker, later that night she falls into a deep sleep with the Nutcracker in her arms. She wakes up to a battle between life-size toy soldiers and rats. Then she enters a realm where she meets Mother Ginger, Arabian Coffee, Marzipan Candy, the Dew Drop Fairy, Flowers, The Icicle princess, Chinese and Dragon, Clowns, Spanish, and the Sugar Plum Fairy.
Every year, Rocky Mountain Dance Theater (RMDT) performs the Nutcracker ballet for the community, it is a Cody tradition. Elizabeth Fernandez is the one behind it all. RMDT had their first Nutcracker in 1998 and had only 76 people dancing in the ballet. This year will be the 20th Nutcracker that Cody, Wyoming will experience. Her inspiration for starting the Nutcrackers was to give her dancers to have an opportunity to participate in a full-length ballet and for the community to experience a ballet. She also wanted to start a tradition for the dancers and community to look forward to every year.
Keira Jackson, a CMS student, has been in The Nutcracker for three years. She started because one year she went to watch the Ballet and really wanted to be a part of it. Keira thought that the professional dancers that the dance studio flies in were flawless. Olivia Satterthwaite has been doing The Nutcracker for four years. She started because she saw one of her classmates doing it and wanted to do it as well. She likes how it is an after-school activity, she also likes how the dance studio puts it on for the community.

UNITED NATIONS, Jun 30 2017 (IPS) - The benefits of ending child marriage are many—boosting a young girl's morale and increasing her chances of education and work, and by that virtue, curbing high population rates in developing economies and boosting growth.
Still, more than 15 million children, under 18 years of age, are married each year.
A new study published by the World Bank and the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) estimates that from now until 2030, the largely outlawed practice of child marriage is going to cost developing countries trillions of dollars.
"We haven't seen real investments needed to end the practise. Policy makers have increasingly acknowledged child marriage as a human rights abuse, but we didn't have a sense of the economic impact, which we thought might spur increased funding by donors and governments," Suzanne Petroni, one of the lead authors of the report, told IPS.
The burden is borne mainly by poor economies with a large population of children under 18. The UN estimates that Africa, by the end of 2050, will be home to the largest population of children under 18.
In the Republic of Niger, for instance, 77 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 22 were married before they turned 18.
Given the high numbers, Niger also stands to curb its population growth by as much as 5 percent if it ended the practice, and trigger growth of 1.7 billion dollars in additional welfare, 327 million in savings to the education budget, and 34 million through reduced infant mortality.
Similarly, In Uganda, the economy stands to gain 2.4 billion dollars by curbing its population growth, as does Nepal, which stands to gain almost a billion dollars.
Globally, the amount adds up to 500 billion dollars, picked up by related benefits—fewer instances of malnutrition, for example—by the end of 2030.
"Many countries have laws on the books. In Bangladesh, for instance, half of the girls are married before 18, even though the country has banned child marriage since 1929. So clearly, laws are not sufficient to create change," Petroni explained.
Besides the glaring benefits of a surge in economic growth in developing countries, ending the practise will ensure better prospects for young girls— better education, higher incomes, and finally, as better decision makers.
In fact, child marriage and higher school dropout rates hamper the chances of earning better wages by 9 percent on average.
The UN aims to abolish the practise by 2030, as a part of its broader mission to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).


The Complete Software Project Manager: Mastering Technology From Planning To Launch And Beyond. By Anna P. Murray. Wiley. 230 pp.
How often have you been told that there is no replacement for experience? Well, there is. You can find it in The Complete Software Project Manager.
If you are a new CIO, CTO, or just been given a huge software application project you really didn't want, Anna Murray provides a roadmap to success. She's organized the process into a textbook that almost reads like a novel. No, really! This book could be very dry, but it is anything but. Murray even brings a sense of humor to the subject in places.
What's she's done can be very helpful. In another life I was a technology executive at a large regional bank. Our approach in staff development and project management was to send our key managers to project management school.
Our objective was to provide them with a basic understanding of the project components, resource discipline, and planning. The training was good, but at a high level only. The curriculum did little to equip the trainees with the skills necessary to manage software projects.
And, as excerpt from the book, above, underscores, failed projects are legion.
Off the shelf? Or custom software?
More often than not, banks make the decision to purchase off-the-shelf software out of fear of the unknown.
As convenient and safe as that strategy may seem, in the long run, the decision may cost you more that you think.
Murray does a great job of outlining and explaining the multiple approaches to software project management. This is in addition to explaining the steps in a manner that makes sense.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a "do-it-yourself" type of book, as much as it is a "things you should know, should use, and in some cases avoid" type of book.
If you have never been in charge of a software development project, this book makes a great place to start. There are reasons why we tech types do the things we do, but most newcomers to the process don't know why. Murray clearly explains things in a systematic way.
At the beginning of any project, it is important to have a clear picture of how you want to organize the project. Identifying the major milestones or steps along the way is a key task. These steps can not only be used to measure progress, but can also be a method of focusing your resources and keeping your team members on task.
Academicians can inspire and instruct when it comes to understanding the structure and discipline of project management, but the author clearly conveys creditability by virtue having been there and done that.
The book is loaded with insight derived from her experience in management software development projects. She provides real world direction that, if followed, can save you from yourself and your team when the "distraction cloud" and "scope creep" begin to consume valuable resources.
A successful project depends on objectives and deliverables that are clearly defined and understood by everyone on the project, not just you. And the roots for those are found in the project management approach selected.
Every major software vendor has their own project management approach. SAP, Oracle, IBM and even Microsoft, just to mention a few, each have their own ways of running a show. Once you execute a contract or purchase order, the vendor immediately imputes their project management methodology.
In my experience, what at first may be concluded as convenient, has the potential to doom your project.
The important point here is that not every project management methodologies are standard. In addition, you may think you know project management only to find out halfway through the project that your company and the vendor are speaking different languages.
The warning signs can be easily missed. Vendors use their own glossary of terms from start to finish. Take even simple items like "UAT"—also known as User Acceptance Testing. This is an industry-recognized acronym that has many definitions. At the front end you may think you know the language, but when you enter into the testing phase you quickly realize that your expectation of the deliverable is not the same as what the vendor was planning to deliver.
There's a solution between the covers of this book. Complete Software Project Manager provides you with a toolbox of specific items that you can use to tailor the project management process to your organization. The vendor then must comply with your expectations and deliver what is defined by you.
This is critical to containing costs, managing available resources, and keeping the project on schedule.
Misfires in understanding can dramatically alter outcomes and produce huge disappointments and missed expectations. Applying the resources from Complete Software Project Manager can be the equivalent to creating a roadmap to a successful project.
His simple quip is nothing short of profound. All of us who have been involved in managing large projects look forward to the end of the project with the hope that when we look back, we are pleased with what the team has accomplished.
As a project sponsor, executive, leader, or manager, if you do not have a clear vision of where you want to end up, you will never get there. It is as simple as that.
This book helps you to remember everything we forget when we are consumed by distractions, personalities and a myriad of moving parts. Using the book as a project outline will save you from having to ask the question: Are we there yet?
This book should be required reading for any executive or project team leader that is considering the development of a software application or software purchase of a significant size.
My own rule of thumb is any project that will require a thousand man-hours or more, start to finish, to roll out, or $50,000 to purchase. If the project qualifies, first step… read this book!
Finally, if you read the book and apply the thoughtful experience contained therein, it will be a great investment in your future.


Besides classical Homoeopathy I'm practising Foot-Reflexology as well.
Reflex-zones of the feet are final points of nervs which are connected to from these points distant parts of the body. The nervs of most organs have final points in the feet.
Through massage of the reflex-zones a better blood-circulation of the zone and its connected organ will be reached.
An example: If you massage your middle toes (= reflex-zones of the middle fingers) you will notice after a short time that the middle fingers are warmer and better blood-supplied than the other fingers.
A good blood-circulation of the organs is most important because blood is the carrier for all substances, which are essential to live, oxygene, hormons, antibodies and waste-products.
All disorders and injuries of organs and muscles can only be cured with a sufficient blood-circulation!
That means, the better the blood-circulation is, the faster the healing process will be.
By pressing a reflex-zone one feels more or less big indurations. They are deposits, uric acid crystals and other slags, which build up only on oarts with a deranged blood-circulation. According to the size of the slags the blood-circulation of the connected organ is more or less disturbed. There is an interaction between organ and reflex-zone. Either the organ or the reflex-zone can be destroyed first. If after an accident the organ is destroyed, after a few minutes the reflex-zone of that organ reacts with pain when pressed. Or if the reflex-zone is deranged first (e.g. with too small or tide shoes, high heels, thick soles), it affects the function of the connected organ in a negative way.
On the reflex-zone even the smallest disorder is registered. But because every big disorder starts small, it should be very useful and important not to wait too long to treat it.
So Foot-Reflexology is help for diagnosis as well as therapy for a better blood-circulation of the organs.
But not at last a massage of the foot-reflex-zones means relaxation of the whole body and an improvement of wellness.

Then he added, "By the way, how come you let the pitcher bat yesterday with the tying run on second and two men out in the ninth?"Doctor: Tell him I can't see him now. Next.

Jack: "My brother was sick and went to the doctor."John: "Is he feeling better now?"Jack: "No, he has a broken arm."John: "How did he break it?"Jack: "Well, the doctor gave him a prescription and told him no matter what happened, to follow that prescription. And the prescription blew out of the window."John: "How did he break his arm?"Jack: "He fell out of the window trying to follow the prescription."


Brownie receipe calls for non-dutched cocoa; I've only got dutched. How is it going to impact my brownies?
The big chemistry difference is that regular cocoa is acidic and dutched is not. If your recipe calls for baking soda, it's not going to work well with the dutched cocoa. If there is baking soda in the recipe you can use baking powder instead - use 3 to 4 times as much baking powder as soda. You could also add cream of tartar at 5/8 teaspoon per 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda called for.
In a brownie recipe, I don't think the dutched cocoa will make that much of an impact in final product. The flavor will be different (you won't have that nice bitterness of the natural cocoa) and there might not be any leavening. You'll probably get a fudgier brownie. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I am wondering if anyone has a good chocolate cake and or brownie recipe using cocoa instead of chocolate pieces.

Could diamonds be the new gold?
A small number of investment professionals around the world are competing behind the scenes to turn the gem into a commodity that would be available to investors in the way that gold has been traded through funds on exchanges.
Trading in diamonds is limited in the United States to the retail market for engagement rings and other jewelry and the back-room bargaining among merchants in places like Manhattan's diamond district on West 47th Street.
But financial industry players in New York, London, Switzerland and Israel say there is an opening to provide reliable public access for the growing universe of investors who have been willing to sink money into funds backed by exotic assets like palladium and silver. Those players have turned a gold-backed fund, the SPDR Gold Shares, into one of the world's largest exchange-traded funds, with a market capitalization of about $70 billion.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is reviewing a proposal to create the first diamond-backed exchange-traded fund, which would be available to anyone with an online trading account. It would buy one-carat diamonds and store them in a vault in Antwerp, Belgium, providing daily values with an as-yet-unnamed index. The fund is backed by a New York company, IndexIQ, that has brought 14 other exchange-traded funds to market in the last five years.
In addition, Martin Rapaport, who founded a popular gauge of diamond pricing, said recently that he was preparing to release a "few" products this year that would be available to retail investors. He declined to describe them.
In perhaps the most developed plan, the largest publicly traded diamond company, Harry Winston, is working with a Swiss asset manager to create a $250 million fund that is set to begin buying half-carat to six-carat diamonds this year with money from institutional investors like hedge funds and pensions. The fund would own diamonds bought and sold in Harry Winston stores and sell shares to private investors.
"Diamond is the last uncommoditized commodity, and so it's drawing in many organizations," said Edahn Golan, the editor in chief of IDEX Online, a provider of diamond industry data. "I assume that by the end of this year there will be a bunch of them out."
Investment professionals say that retail investors should be very careful, given the difficulty of establishing consistent prices for diamonds of widely different cuts and quality, and the traditional secrecy of the industry. The diamond market has also been tarnished by accounts of stones mined in war-torn parts of Africa, though both the IndexIQ fund and the Harry Winston fund have committed to avoiding such so-called blood diamonds.
"There would be a huge learning curve for me to be comfortable trading something like this," said Matt Zeman, a commodity trader at Kingsview Financial.
The diamond industry can only dream of replicating the success of gold companies. Gold investments, rather than jewelry, have become the primary driver of growth in the industry, according to the World Gold Council, pushing annual production to around $100 billion, Citigroup analysts say. By comparison, the annual production of polished diamonds is about $18 billion, Citi said.
The allure of diamonds is that, like gold, they are easily authenticated and long lasting. But unlike gold, and oil, diamonds have not had much price volatility, in part because they have not been touched by large flows of speculative money, though that could change if the new efforts succeed.
"It makes sense that investors would have interest in diamond-backed funds," said Joung Park, a commodities analyst at Morningstar.
This is not the first rush to bring diamonds to Wall Street. When inflation was soaring in the late 1970s, the search for stable stores of value led to a few legitimate, and many illegitimate, operations that lured retail investors into diamonds. One, started by the financial company Thomson McKinnon, sold shares privately and was wound down when interest rates plummeted, taking the value of diamonds with them.
The market long repelled many investment professionals because of the 80 percent to 90 percent market share of production held by De Beers, the global diamond giant. That began to ebb when De Beers relaxed its grip on the supply channels in 2000, and subsequently sold some of its mines and inventory, reducing its market share to 40 percent today, according to Citi.
"Before De Beers gave up its monopoly, the investment case was pretty difficult," said Peter Laib, chairman of the Swiss firm Diamond Asset Advisors, which is working with Harry Winston on a diamond fund. "Why would I start a fund where the price is controlled by one company?"
The end of the monopoly still left perhaps the biggest barrier to investment: the lack of uniform standards for diamond pricing. Unlike gold, which is sold for essentially the same price in financial markets around the world, diamonds have been sold mostly through bazaarlike areas like the Manhattan district and the Antwerp Diamond Bourse, which advertises that a "binding handclasp fixes price, delivery and conditions."
"The diamond industry suffers from an image which sadly is rather well deserved, which is hiding behind smoke and mirrors," said Charles Wyndham, the London-based founder of Polished Prices, a diamond pricing company.
Many market participants argue that diamonds are not a commodity but unique items that need to be evaluated individually. But Wyndham, Rapaport and IDEX are competing to prove that wrong by creating standardized pricing. IDEX has an hourly updated index of asking prices from its online database, weighted with the 15 most popular varieties.
The IDEX index is not the best gauge, Mr. Wyndham argues, because it relies on asking prices rather than actual transaction prices, as stock exchanges do. He has built the Polished Prices index, which is available on Bloomberg terminals, and uses selling prices the company receives from 20 wholesalers. He said he was working with a "major European financial institution" that is seeking to win regulatory approval in Europe for yet another diamond fund that could be available to the public.
Polished Prices hosted a conference in 2007 with dozens of finance industry professionals who considered how to make diamonds a regulated investment. Mr. Wyndham's partner, Richard Platt, said he thought then that a product would be available sooner.
"It's been difficult, but we're quite a long way down the road to getting there," Mr. Platt said.
Mr. Wyndham and Mr. Rapaport are critical of the only fund that is available to ordinary investors, the Diamond Circle Capital Fund, which listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2008. It collected roughly $50 million from investors and used it to buy stones, each worth at least a million dollars. Mr. Wyndham said the fund managers did not work out a system for pricing and eventually selling its holdings. Shares have dropped to less than $4.20 this week from around $10 in 2008.
Andrew Dawson, the fund administrator, said it recently underwent a management change and now has a better strategy with the new managers. The fund working with Harry Winston has devised a novel way of dealing with the problem of pricing. The manager in Switzerland will pay for the inventory in Harry Winston stores. The value of the diamonds will be determined after a customer buys a piece of jewelry containing the stones and a replacement stone is purchased through Harry Winston's supply chain. The fees for the fund will be similar to those of a hedge fund, with a 1.5 percent management fee and 20 percent of any increase in value.
The United States-based fund from IndexIQ advisers did not list its planned fee in the application it filed to the S.E.C. in March. Its other exchange-traded funds have fees around 1 percent annually and trade on the New York Stock Exchange's Arca exchange. Its biggest fund replicates hedge fund strategies and has attracted $200 million in assets. The S.E.C. does not comment on pending applications.
All the new sponsors make the same argument for what makes diamonds attractive to investors: while the supply of new diamonds is not expected to rise, the demand from India and China is expected to increase steadily. Brian Chen, a mining analyst at Citigroup, said "the fundamentals look so good in terms of supply and demand."
The Polished Prices index has fallen 2.2 percent this year, but risen 5.6 percent over the last year, and 56 percent since its inception in 2003.
But Ron Rowland, a mutual fund and exchange-traded fund adviser, and the founder of Capital Cities Asset Management, said that even if funds did begin, retail investors should approach with extreme caution.
"Stay away until you know exactly how it works, and can be sure it's acting like you think it will," he said. "It's going to be a difficult market to create."

Anxiety is a normal reaction to fear, but sometimes, its severity gets out of proportion, and starts interfering with daily life. Anxiety is usually accompanied with depression, and it is important to understand that these are serious medical illnesses and need medication or therapy. Anxiety disorder gives intense feelings of worry and fear, often associated with specific events, situations or objects. Some of the common physical symptoms of anxiety are nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, heart palpitations, trembling and diarrhea.
Treatment for anxiety depends on the nature of disorder and characteristics of individual patients. Most of the patients respond well to cognitive and behavioral anxiety therapy. In behavioral therapy, the patient learns to deal with the attack rather than running away from it. The person confronts the situation several times with the help of a supportive friend or a therapist.
Using traditional anxiety psychotherapy, the patient talks out the problem with the therapist, and this can be quite beneficial.
Cognitive anxiety therapy is learning new ways and methods to change the old habits and thinking patterns. Suffering will continue as long as the person keeps expecting the worst, and anxiety therapy conditions the mind to think and respond in a different manner. Some of the effective cognitive anxiety therapy techniques include stopping automatic negative thinking, slowing down, helpful and rational self-statements, moving up the self-statements, getting more focused and addressing anger, setbacks, perfectionism, and frustrations.
De-stressing and relaxation can be quite helpful to deal with anxiety. When the brain is relaxed and quiet, the anxiety therapy techniques are more effective, and results are better. Using emotional anxiety therapy, the focus is on calmness and peace, and as the mind becomes more and more peaceful and calm, the fears and anxieties are crowded out easily. Focus of such techniques is never on fears and anxieties, but on healing, inner peace and healthiness.
Music has been called the food for soul, and it has been used in mental hospitals in various parts of the worlds to reduce stress and anxiety in patients. It is a great anxiety therapy, and can be quite helpful in treating any kind of mental illness. Music helps the production of endorphins, and they relieve the physical and mental discomfort naturally. Music has the ability to make us happy, and enhancing the physical and mental well-being.
In addition to anxiety therapy, there are several medications that can be helpful to treat anxiety disorders, and these medications include sertraline, Prozac, Luvox, Paxil, Celexa, Effexor, imipramine, Elavor, Anafranil, Tofranil, Anafranil, Xanaxm Valium, BuSpar and certain cardiac drugs.


SIG 229 in 357 SIG | Defense Training International, Inc.
At a Course on the East Coast last weekend, one of my students was shooting a SIG 229, in 357 SIG caliber. When cases started to stay chambered instead of being ejected normally, we examined the pistol and discovered that the extractor had completely blown out! We were unable to find it on the ground, so I don't know if it was deformed or not. It's the first time I've see this phenomenon on a SIG. The student was shooting commercial reloads. No injuries. The pistol was not otherwise damaged.

We have seven active research clusters: algebra, analysis, differential equations, mathematical physics, numerical analysis (PDE's and linear algebra), representation theory, and topology.
In terms of financial aid, all accepted students receive a Graduate Assistantship consisting of a stipend of $24,000 for 12 months, full tuition remission, a 50% subsidy in general student fees, annual travel funding for conferences, and an 80% subsidy for student health insurance. Exceptional students are eligible for up to $8,000 of additional stipend enhancement, bringing the total possible stipend to $32,000. Many of our students receive some enhancement money.
Some important areas that strengthen an application include very high GRE scores, excellent letters of recommendation, and success in many proof based courses--beginning with real analysis and abstract algebra.
Typical successful applicants have a least an 85 percentile Quantitative score on the GRE. For nonnative speakers who hope to eventually teach, we prefer to see at least a 50 percentile Verbal score on the GRE and at least a 90 on the TOEFL. However, students who have graduated from a US university are not required to submit a TOEFL.
Only the quantitative and verbal parts are required. The subject test is not required.
No. The majority of our PhD. students enter the program with only their undergraduate mathematics degree. Some choose to get a MS along the way.
Some of our students complete a PhD. degree in 4 years, though most stay 5. Some choose to stay 6 years in order to publish more papers.
From the second year on, students typically teach one undergraduate class per semester. Student teachers are assigned an individual faculty teaching mentor.
Please see the Health Benefits at the Graduate School page.
See the following web pages for a description of housing options near campus: off campus housing and graduate student housing.
Students must pass a Qualifying Exam in two of the four year-long core areas (abstract algebra, applied mathematics, real variables, and topology). The Qualifying Exam is meant to certify competency over a whole year-long core area of mathematics.
Students must also pass a Preliminary Examination administered by a Preliminary Exam Committee of at least two people headed and chosen by the student's dissertation advisor. The Preliminary Exam is meant to certify beginning competency in the student's area of specialization.
Most of our student have their own private office. Here are typical pictures: offices.
Yes--two a year! See here.

NYU.CH is an Association formed in accordance with articles 60 ff of the Swiss Civil Code. The provisions of the Swiss Civil Code shall apply for all matters not specifically covered in these Articles of Association.
The statutory address is at the domicile of its secretary, unless the Committee decides otherwise.
c) to contribute to NYU's worldwide reputation of excellence, for instance by assisting Swiss students who wish to attend postgraduate studies at NYU and by encouraging individual or group contributions to NYU or its constituent schools.
To achieve the above purpose, the Association intends to facilitate exchange programs between Swiss universities and NYU, for instance by paying the Swiss tuition of an NYU student for two semesters at the Universities of Basle, Bern, Fribourg, Geneva, Neuchâtel, Luzern, Lugano, St. Gallen or Zurich, if possible under a tax deductible contribution scheme, approved by the Swiss tax authorities.
The Association will also maintain a website, including a directory of graduates who are residents of Switzerland or Liechtenstein, and a link to other NYU websites.
Finally, the Association will in principle hold one or two meetings every year for business and/or social and networking opportunities to which all members are invited.
Any person who studied at NYU and who is a resident of Switzerland or Liechtenstein or of the surrounding area may become member of the Association.
Members who leave the above mentioned geographical area may remain members as long as they meet the other conditions.
Membership starts and ends with the related Committee decision.
Members must pay the statutory membership contribution of CHF 100.-. The Association may also receive gifts or other contributions, including from NYU-related entities, to promote its activities.
Members must indicate an e-mail address where all communications can be validly addressed to them. They must insure that any change of address is communicated to the Secretary.
Members who cannot be reached are suspended, but may be re-admitted at anytime, without having to pay again the membership contribution.
Members have no further obligation and incur no liability beyond the membership contribution.
Members are however firmly invited to participate in the meetings organized by NYU.CH and to make special contributions to fund specific projects.
The formal meeting of the members will take place as often as the Committee (Management) deems it necessary. Members may be represented at such a meeting by proxy given to another member or to the Secretary of the Association.
All decisions and elections, which are not by law subject to special majority or quorum requirements, may also be transacted by e-mail, provided the proposed decisions are supported by a majority of the members that could be reached, and provided less than five members requested that the decision be taken at a meeting of the members. There is therefore no need for an Ordinary Meeting of the members.
The Committee (Management) is composed of at least three members; a majority of them must be members of the Association. An NYU appointed representative could for instance be elected to the Committee, without having to fulfill the conditions to become member of the Association.
All decisions not imperatively reserved by the Swiss Civil Code to the Meeting of the members are delegated to the Committee. The Committee shall therefore be in charge of the Management of the Association's affairs.
The Committee shall manage the affairs of the Association and designate the Chairperson (or President), the Vice-Chairperson (or Vice-President), the Secretary and the Treasurer. The proposed functions of the Committee members, which may be cumulated, are communicated at the time the Committee members are proposed for election.
The signature of any two members of the Committee binds the Association. In principle one of the signatures is the one of the Chairperson or vice Chairperson and, for financial matters, one of the two signatories is normally the Treasurer.
The Committee may adopt such internal rules as it deems necessary or useful to manage effectively the affairs of the Association.
In case of dissolution of the association, the net assets shall be transferred to a public institution having a similar purpose as the association. A transfer of assets to founders or members as well as any use of assets for their benefit, irrespective of the amount and the reason therefore, is excluded.
The business year shall end on December 31, for the first time on December 31, 2000.
Notices to the members are sent to the last e-mail address communicated by the members to the Committee. If, for any reason, they have received no communication from the Association during one year they should contact the Chairperson or the Secretary to make sure that they have not been omitted by mistake from the mailing list.


While you've been busy getting your supplies together for this summer, we've been hard at work getting Camp Walt Whitman physically in ship shape. Here are a few of the improvements you'll see on the shores of Lake Armington come June!
1) The second level of our Aerial Adventure Course is now complete!
Some of our campers like to compare our aerial adventure course to the kinds of challenges you see on the NBC series, American Ninja Warrior. We like to think it delivers the same sense of exhilaration (minus the TV crews!). With the help of our staff, campers safely push themselves out of their comfort zones and gain a sense of accomplishment by completing the circuit – not to mention bragging rights for being able to take on the 10 different challenges of the first level, 15 feet high in the air.
Our second level adds 10 new challenges to the circuit, at 30 feet in the air! We know our campers will enjoy exiting this upper level as they can jump off and free-fall until the self-belay system catches them at 10 feet and and lowers them to the ground.
Expect a whole new level of excitement and adventure this year!
We've built raised beds to grow vegetables and herbs this summer that'll we'll use in our camp kitchen and cooking classes. Campers who choose to will be able to help our staff grow herbs, tomatoes, summer squash, cucumbers and more. The beds will be in the middle of camp at Keys Corner, just another way for us to emphasize the importance of living green and taking care of the environment.
Every year since 2007, we have rebuilt one to three cabins at camp as part of our continued commitment to keep our facilities up-to-date. In time for this summer, we replaced two of the oldest cabins on boy's side with new cabins, each featuring a large deck for campers to gather, as well as showers, pine paneling, and ceiling fans. Campers are going to love these new cabins.

Wash and dry the salmon. Then cut the salmon into three parts and marinate all three parts evenly with two tbsp olive oil, ground black pepper, dried basil and pinch of salt. In a bowl, mix the crusted croutons, two tbsp olive oil and grated parmesan cheese together and place them on top of the salmon. Then, keep in refrigerator over night or a minimum of 3 hours.
Heat one tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat, then add the rosemary and move the rosemary to the side of the skillet. Next, fry the marinated salmon for 3 minutes and continue cooking in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes (depending on how thick your salmon is) over 350 degrees.

When a celebrity jumps your ride claim
December 15, 2015 March 5, 2022 / joanne m. austin
It was January 2008 and we'd just arrived in Salt Lake City. Jim and Ted were there to ski in Utah. I was there because I was going to see a bunch of films at Sundance while they skied.
We'd had an uneventful flight out from Newark to Salt Lake City. Except there were lots of famous people on board our plane.
One of them was Paul Giamatti, who was sitting in the row in front of us in coach. Any time I felt like it, I could look at the bald spot on the back of his head. And I felt bad about this, but there it was. But I along with everyone else in coach kept their cool about him being there, even after the plane landed and the people in the rows behind him waited for him to grab his bag and leave. We KNEW it was him, as much as I think he'd hoped we'd think he was a just guy who looked like him.
I don't think Paul Giamatti would have stolen my ride, though.
Up in first class were Jessica Alba, Maria Bello…and Sarah Jessica Parker (hereafter referred to as "SJP").
I had no issues with SJP. I remembered her in "Square Pegs." I liked her take as an insipid TV show host in "Mars Attacks." I never really watched "Sex in the City," but I got the premise. She was going to Sundance in 2008, I'd later learn, to promote her movie, "Smart People."
I never thought I would have to compete with her for a ride.
We'd booked the limo company that Jim's brother always used when his family flew out to Utah to stay at their Park City townhome. While not in the entertainment industry, the limo company was VERY respectful of him. So as a treat, we booked the vehicle he usually booked, which was a Cadillac SUV.
Park City Shoe Trees. Photo by me, 2008.
Apparently, this limo company booked a lot of people to pick up from our flight that night, including SJP. And us.
There must have been a backup. Because Jim, Ted and I waited in the staging/pickup area the company directed us to. And waited.
A large pile of matching luggage soon appeared on the sidewalk near us. And then, a Cadillac SUV pulled up and someone started to pack up all of the luggage into the back of it.
Meanwhile, it was getting late. We started to worry.
It was a Saturday night and we wanted to make a stop at a liquor store before heading to the townhome. Utah has some funny liquor laws, and one of the few places you can buy alcohol of any kind is their very well-stocked state stores. Which closed at 9 or 10 (I don't recall): a time that was VERY close to what our watches/phones were telling us.
Plus the liquor stores in Utah are not open on Sundays.
PLUS the following Monday was a state holiday, to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. You guessed it: Liquor stores closed.
There were adult beverages already in the townhome, but they belonged to Jim's brother and wife. They do not have inexpensive tastes in alcohol, and while I suppose we could have suffered for a day or so drinking their craft beers and fancier bottles of wine, we really just wanted to buy our own. (And yes, I get the discrepancy between renting an expensive SUV and nickel and diming it over drinks. Different priorities.)

Meanwhile, a very tiny woman had stealthily made her way to the SUV and got in the back of it. SJP?
No other Cadillac SUV was in sight. We asked the young woman who was dispatching rides for the limo company what was up.
She apologized. They were overwhelmed with arrivals.
But, we said, we must get to a liquor store before it closed. Was there anything she could do for us?
Short of waiting for another SUV to come back and pick us up, she said, she could find out if anything else was available.
Great, we said. At this point, as long as it had wheels and could carry us and our gear, we would take it.
And soon, our ride was there. It was your standard-issue, white, serial killer van. But it had seats, and a place to put ski equipment, and a friendly driver who knew where the closest state liquor store was.
We piled into the van. There were precious minutes left before access to our choice of alcohol was cut off until Tuesday (not including private clubs or restaurants–another weird Utah liquor thing). The driver navigated through the city, expertly getting us to the store. The parking lot was packed with cars from others in the same situation, as well as what appeared to be a large group of kids from the nearby college. All sweating it out over the possibility of a holiday weekend with no private stash.
Meanwhile, SJP was probably already set up in her fourth home somewhere on the outskirts of Park City with a fully-stocked bar, or otherwise someplace where concerns of this nature had been taken care of by an advance team of assistants.
We joined the fray of shoppers, found our poisons of preference, and paid for them, all VERY close to closing time. But we did it, despite being dissed.
Our driver was even nice enough to take us on a quick drive past the main Mormon temple in Salt Lake City before hopping onto I-80 and to Park City.
The rest of the trip was pretty-stress free. Sundance is a great time to ski in the Park City area because most of the people in town are there to see films and soak in the cult of celebrity: not ski. The slopes are rather uncrowded as a result.
You can almost smell them. Park City Shoe Tree, photo by me, 2008.
Jim, Ted, and I have grumbled over the years about the unfairness of the limo company's jettisoning of us for SJP. And that SJP didn't seem to feel a need to wait in line, though we had gotten to the staging area before she did.
But maybe she didn't even have a clue…
Time has just made it a sort of sad but funny life experience, with a famous person thrown in. I just hope that if she'd known of our predicament, she would have graciously waited for the next ride. Even if it was in a serial killer van.
And yes, we did get comped for the vehicle downgrade. But the family uses another limo company now.

One thought on "When a celebrity jumps your ride claim"
Pingback: In which I luck out and find myself in Cannes | joanne m. austin


Dreaming of a far-flung vacation? This year, those out-of-reach destinations may be surprisingly affordable. Last year, we covered six places you never thought you could afford. This year, we've compiled another six hot spots, with a twist—while these locales may be expensive to get to, the in-country costs make the vacation budget easy. In fact, we've even compared these far-flung locales with more traditional vacation destinations to show you just how budget-friendly globetrotting can be. Read on to start planning this year's vacation of a lifetime.
Editor's Note: All price comparisons feature round-trip airfare, including taxes and fees. Hotel prices reflect the room's base price, are based on double occupancy, and do not include taxes and fees.
History, food and wine, art, and nightlife—there may be no better value-packed destination this year than Buenos Aires. Nicknamed the "Paris of South America", Buenos Aires can give you a cultural experience with both Latin American and European influences. And with the country celebrating its bicentennial in May, it's an ideal time to visit.
The country, still recovering from the peso crisis of 2001, offers a great value for overseas travelers, particularly Americans. At press time, $1 US gets you 3.86 Argentina pesos (see USATODAY.com's currency converter for current exchange rates), so your money goes far in-country. Frommer's notes that while the Argentinian economy has been steadily recovering, a Buenos Aires vacation still typically costs about 30% less than popular destinations in North America or Europe.
Airfare from New York City starts around $700 round-trip, taxes included, for travel in April and May; three-star downtown hotels can be found from $56, and one-bedroom downtown apartment rentals start at $250 per week. For two people traveling together, you can ballpark about $1,650 to $1,800 for airfare-and-accommodations for a seven-night vacation this spring.
Let's compare that price tag to a week in Paris during the same time period. Airfare from New York starts around $650 in April and May, a three-star hotel near the Champs-Elysees/Belle Epoque district costs $109 per night, and a one-bedroom Montmartre apartment can be rented for $436 per week. All told, a seven-night Parisian vacation starts between $1,750 and $2,100 for airfare and accommodations for two people traveling together. In this case, the base price for the Buenos Aires vacation cost about $100 to $300 less than Paris.
The real sticking point in Paris, however, is the currency exchange rate. At press time, $1 is worth just 0.73 euros. According to Parislogue, daily food expenses can cost up to $109 per person per day for three meals. Of course, that's budgeting on the high end, but already-pricey city costs and an unforgiving exchange rate can really add up.
Keep your per-day costs in mind when comparing destinations for your upcoming vacation—especially if you're the type of traveler that likes fine dining, shopping for souvenirs, and patronizing attractions with admission fees. In this case, you may find the far-flung destination is a lot more budget-friendly.
Buenos Aires, still recovering from the peso crisis of 2001, offers a great value for overseas travelers, particularly Americans.

Q: Django Dynamic form for manytomany relationship I am trying to make a form which includes the functionality of Add/Delete Row. And I am following this tutorial.
The problem that I am facing is that I am unable to show the Add or remove button as well as the input fields in the form.
Screenshot:

Here's the template:

    <title>gffdfdf</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">

    <form action="" method="post" class="">
        {% csrf_token %}

 Team

        {% for field in form %}
        {{ field.errors }}
        {{ field.label_tag }} : {{ field }}
        {% endfor %}
        {{ form.players.management_form }}

 Product Instance(s)

                player name
                highest score
                age

            {% for player in form.players %}

                {{ player.pname }}
                {{ player.hscore }}
                {{ player.age }}
                <input id="input_add" type="button" name="add" value=" Add More "
                           class="tr_clone_add btn data_input">

            {% endfor %}

        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">save</button>

    </form>

Please help me figure out what the code is missing, I tried the solution given in comments too but that only solves the input fields problem

A: I haven't reproduced your code so I can't be sure, but when I look at your models I read:
class PlayerForm(forms.Form):
    pname = forms.CharField()
    hscore= forms.IntegerField()
    age = forms.IntegerField()

PlayerFormset= formset_factory(PlayerForm)

class TeamForm(forms.Form):
   tname= forms.CharField()
   player= PlayerFormset()

You pass the Teamform to the template in the variable form. That means you can access the  individual player forms with:
{% for player in form.player %}
...
{% endfor %}

In your code I read form.players instead of form.player. Also at the top I read form.players.management_form. Django will not recognize these variables so return empty values. You can check this by looking at the HTML elements in your browser. In the example in the comments in the link you provided it says correctly form.player. I am not sure why in that case the add / remove button would not show.

A: You can do this by looping through the last row added to the table and then updating all id & name attributes with new incremented i value like:
$("tbody tr:last :input").each(function() {
   $(this).attr({
      'id': function(_, id) {
        return id.replace(/\d/g, i)
      },
      'name': function(_, name) {
        return name.replace(/\d/g, i)
      }
   })
})

Also as Paul mentioned change players to player

If you've applied to a number of positions and are getting little to no response, take a step back and look at your approach. Are the jobs you are applying to in your scope of experience or are you reaching for something out of your skill set? It's admirable to shoot for a role that is going to challenge you, and hiring managers may look past a few gaps in experience, but it has to be within reason. Aim for roles just outside your limit and see who replies, you never know what might come of it! But be mindful to submit your resume for more realistic opportunities too. It's easy to get distracted with high base salaries and prestigious sounding titles, but it's important to stay grounded in your search. Conversely, you may be applying for positions that you are overqualified for, and receiving the same result. Take an honest stake of where you are at, and ask a friend or trusted colleague if you are having trouble being objective with yourself. This will calibrate your search and set you on a more likely path to positive responses.
It helps to receive an actual response when job searching, even if it's a polite "no". If there isn't a reason given for them taking a pass, ask for constructive feedback. Not everyone will be willing to do so, but perhaps they can point to why you didn't make the cut. This is invaluable advice that can help you tweak your search, from which you can adjust your application game accordingly.
If there's a job, career path or industry that you've always held in the back of your mind but the pay or geography scared you off, see if it's feasible to pursue. The chances of you ultimately being successful in something that inspires you are much higher than chasing work you simply think you should be doing. I don't mean this in the Eat Pray Love respect, although that is a perfectly good novel/movie to enjoy. Most of us don't have the ability to pick up and leave for a year to find our passion, but we can start small.
The first known usage of this phrase dates back to the 1300's, and it rings just as true today. The average job search takes about six weeks but varies greatly depending on the industry. Naturally, the higher the job level the longer the search will take – the time to fill a restaurant position is typically much quicker than that of an executive. Depending on where you fall in that spectrum, you can reasonably predict how long it might take.
Hopefully this offers some key takeaways if you're struggling with your job search. It really comes down to taking an objective look at who you are as a candidate, deciding whether or not you want to continue on your current path or tap other talents, learning from your rejections and calibrating as necessary.

Report lost items due to glitches and other things the admins need to come online to fix here. If we accept the problem, we will give a refund when one of us and you both have time.
When an issue is solved, it is quoted by the one who solved it.
I saw a boat on ice (it was probably on water but it froze) so i got in it, curious to see what would happen. It was just like when you're trying to get out of land. (Slower) So i right clicked to get off and nothing happened (lag) and just spammed my left click to break it. Then, it unlagged and i appered UNDER the ice shelf, and boat broke, and i took the planks with me. I was trying to mine the ice to get up but i didn't have aqua affinity. I DID have an iron pixkaxe, but before I was mining smjjames' ice farm with my silk touch axe, so my brain did: ice is mined with my axe, and i triedd to mine it with my axe, and failed. Yes, I had healing potions but they were drinkables and i had to open my inv, put it on the hot bar, and then close my inv, and drink it, which would not be fast enough. So I'm hoping you can respawn these items. (Btw i got a 15k on score) but you don't have to respawn the healing II drinkables if you don't want to.
Try going to the location and picking up the items you lost. I'm not really sure whether it should be considered a bug-death or not. But the items definitely still should be there.
Enderman griefing got turned back on somehow. I don't know how to change that property.
i never knew we had an enderman plugin.
They move grass, dirt, mycelium, clay, sand, gravel, netherrack, melons, pumpkins, cactus, tnt, roses, dandelions and mushrooms.
I keep finding griefing all over.
It's part of the SafeCreeper suite of functions.
I did see one or two holes in the desert that looked like enderman damage, and that dirt block which I mentioned on the thread is certainly from an enderman.
anyway's inb4 an enderman picks up mycerlium, and then teleports all the way to mainland, dropping it on a non-dirt area.
Did someone take stuff from my chests between when I was on last night and this morning? Because I'm missing at least a stack of redstone and four diamonds.
I was having some kind of inventory glitch with the diamonds when I logged out last night to fix it (but didn't log back in), so I could have lost them due to the glitch.
I don't care that much about the redstone (you could have just asked), but I do want the diamonds back.
Edit while typing: Wait a minute, my gold bars and the ore is gone, could someone check the full log of interactions with that chest?
It's fully vanilla, there is no log plugins. I can give you the stuff back, but if you want any punishment or anything you'll have to investigate further. Also, hide your valuables.
Thanks, this will be investigated by me and Yqt.
I had a very minor version of this. The area underground of that was also hollow, but that might have been me, the hole in the ground however, wasn't supposed to be there.
Still, it was mostly underground sandstone and wool and lapis.
wow 25 more Bla's that's a lot i can only live with 1.
* b-ong imagines me in a warlight game against 26 Bla's.
I have seen in the logs that several people have taken items from Spawntown in order to duplicate them for when Spawntown is reverted. Burn EVERYTHING you have taken or mined from there within 24 hours or you will be permanently banned from the server. I will check the logs.
Looks like a blacraft wide chunk corruption happened. I have the same thing as well, and at least one plugin broke.
The chunks also seem to change from time to time, so whatever is going on is still active and doing the randomization.
How do you know that at least one plugin broke?
I rolled back the entire world.
I suspect it is related to the limits on hard drive space which the server is allowed to use, but that's just a guess. Yesterday it couldn't start the server and said "disc quota exceeded", then I deleted a backup and started the server. I now deleted 26 old backups.
Anyway venturing into the nether etc. is a very bad idea if you see a glitch like this. You should simply not go on the server, you will obviously only make problems worse, but that is too late now.
Well, it wasn't a complete break, the colors and nick for me and Fiah got erased, it still worked for Kipz and Yqt though. The rollback should fix that.
It's not rolled back yet, currently it is refusing to do anything because "disc quota exceeded" despite me deleting 27 old backups (~11 GB). So I've contacted Multiplay support.
Edit, copy from Ubox forums: I think the problems are fixed. I rolled back to the backup from this morning (which I had expected was taken after the problems you saw, but from what I see, the chunk in smj's farm isn't there, so I guess it works).
I haven't checked the Nether yet.
If you see any errors like that, it would be useful if you include the coords of it in the future (or take a screenshot with F3 info on). Then I can find it much faster.
The OnTime stats seem to have reset. I'll try to fix them.
A chunk has apparently been deleted here, and a new one generated, so it doesn't fit into the landscape. Its outer blocks intersect the rail line between Ampluterra Outpost and ****atar (which I was going to change to go through Azecliffs).
There's water in the chunk, plus its elevation doesn't fit the surroundings, so it should be easy to spot. It seems like a tiny jungle biome has formed there.
Edit: The server seems to crash when entering an area north of that chunk, around (-335 , -850).
Might be a corrupted chunk? There were one or two chunks in and near Zuntriio and one to the east of Revolutea in the desert that did the same thing and Yqt fixed. That was a number of months ago though.
The chunk probably isn't corrupted if you mean the one on the image, it just got deleted by accident and regenerated I think, and ideally we should put an old one back from a backup.
But I think the reason it crashes when going north is probably a corrupted chunk further north yes.
Some of them probably wandered from Azecliffs and a few probably come from the chunk with the tiny jungle.
This shows many chunks which have been corrupted, using MCEdit on a backup from today.
There could be many more errors all over the world. Idk.
I have made some maps of the world which show that the chunks are broken in a lot of places, so I have stopped the server to repair the world. The current world is backed up.
I will repair it by stitching parts of the current world into a backup from July 21. If you have changed anything in the overworld since then, tell me asap and I will try to move it into the backed up world, or possibly refund you with materials. If you want that rather than losing your progress since then, you should not edit your areas.
I will write in here when it is officially recommended to play again.
The problems should be fixed, I flew around Spawntown, Ampluterra, Azecliffs, Bongatar and Desertopia, and it all seems as it should. Playing is officially recommended again. Sorry to people who lost progress (I guess you lost some Yqt, since I didn't know what you were doing other than failing at afk'ing in the nether, and calculating the energy you get from eating zombie pigman babies, if you lost important progress we can still restore it).
Did my chests get reverted? If not, then basically everything in my inventory got duplicated after some inventory management. If my chests got reverted then I lose nearly 600 quartz, 200 glowstone and a wither skeleton skull.
EDIT: I think I did some build work around Capital after July 21st.
Yes, everything got reverted outside the areas I wrote. Do you want any chests reverted (if you remember the changes, I think it would be easier if you just destroyed duplicated stuff or give it to yourself unlegitly)? Do you want the areas in Capital to be copied from July 25?
If I could get the areas around Capital reverted to the 25th it'd be better (I also did some work ripping up GLR outside of it to the east too). Tbh I have no idea how much of the resources I actually got. Also, is my player file from yesterday still alive? I lost some pretty decent enchanted armour and using commands and unlegit enchanted books to get it back will take forever.
Everything in the world folder (including player files) was backed up about 12-15 hours ago before I rolled back the world, so your player file is still there and you could just drag it from the July 25 world backup into the current world folder using FileZilla to get your armor/inv back.
Rollback player files from Yqt and Fiah to July 25.
If anyone else needs rollback, please be as specific as possible about what you need rolled back so I can do it while I do this and you won't need to wait any longer for it.
Posted both on Blacraft and Universe Sandbox forums.
The crudely drawn box is for sure stuff I have changed since July 21st. This includes the GLR (ground light rail, which I am replacing with horse roads eventually ), collective storage (storing of quartz and glowstone) as well as my other storages I used in the past few days.
Also, I have the world map GIMP file ready for upload with UYP changes whenever you want it.
Taking the server offline now to fix the things. I'll post when it's officially recommended to play on again.
Edit: Everything should be fixed now, you can play again.
Can I have my player file reverted? I'd do it myself but it takes like 6 hours for me to download the backup.
My inventory is still rolledback. However fine I'll spend some time sorting it and spawning things in.
Disc quota exceeded again, server is refusing to run.
For some reason there's a file called java.core in the folder which has a size of 1.005.105.152 bytes (so 1GB)... I have no idea why it is there and have never seen it before, it says last edited 20130729 03:47:06. I googled the file and didn't find anything. Deleting it.
I want to once and for all solve the cactus problem Soviet Japan. I've been thinking about this and then realized that Blacraft has the WorldEdit plugin. So, would it be possible to replace the cactus with air or something? Stuffhappens would probably agree to this as I remember him saying how annoying the catus was.
Well, they were put there legitly, so I think it would be a better solution if you used water buckets or placed torches/one-hit-blocks next to them to destroy them, within the municipalities (red areas) that you own.
Water doesn't work, we actually tested that, unintentionally. Not sure if torches work though.
Honestly though, since me, kipz and yqt did it in the first place, it's probably only fair if we remove some of it.
Last time I tried, torches did work. I didn't know water didn't work. But yes, you're welcome to help Bong with it, as long as people agree to what happens to the areas they officially manage on the map.
Double checked with water and torches and neither one of them worked.
please Bla, can we at least have a poll of using world edit to remove the cati??
No, world editing it isn't an option, sorry.
I'm not sure why torches/water doesn't work anymore, I guess burning them or lava doesn't work either. Using slabs would probably take almost as much time as destroying the cactus itself (but you can mine them afterwards so you don't lose them), with an efficiency shovel or such the cacti could probably be destroyed even faster. You could also use sand, because shoveling it can be done pretty fast.
