Brendan Howlin said that, in light of the establishment of a new inquiry, the Garda Commissioner's current position is "untenable".

LABOUR LEADER BRENDAN Howlin has called for Garda Commissioner Nóirín O'Sullivan to 'stand aside' in the wake of an inquiry into the treatment of Garda whistleblowers being announced.
Howlin, who this morning made statements under Dáil privilege concerning separate allegations facing O'Sullivan, was speaking in light of the establishment of an inquiry into the treatment of those whistleblowers.
That inquiry will be helmed by Judge Peter Charleton. The new inquiry was established in light of the publication this morning of a heavily-redacted report by Judge Iarfhlaith O'Neill into the whistleblower allegations.
"The Garda Commissioner heads a policing service charged with protecting the security of the State, preventing crime and vindicating the human rights of each individual," Howlin said this evening.
Yet at the same time, and while still discharging these onerous statutory responsibilities, Commissioner O'Sullivan now faces a statutory investigation.
In the course of this inquiry, the Commissioner's mobile phones and her phone records for a two year period are to be examined, as are all Garda electronic and paper files, to see if she is implicated in this affair.
Nóirín O'Sullivan as Garda Commissioner is the custodian of the very records that Judge Charleton will be demanding to examine, in order to see if they disclose wrongdoing by the Commissioner.
I believe this places her in an untenable position.

Howlin said that he believed it is necessary for O'Sullivan to "stand aside while the commission of investigation is under way".
He also called for the O'Neill report to be published in full.
"Only five paragraphs of his (Judge O'Neill's) report have been published. It is difficult in that context for any public reassurance to be provided that all of the issues at play have been fully considered," Howlin said.
I believe it is necessary for Deputies from all parties to be permitted to read the O'Neill report in full before agreeing to these terms of reference, to ensure that they encompass all of the allegations contained within the protected disclosures.
Meanwhile, Sinn Féin Justice spokesperson Jonathan O'Brien echoed Howlin's sentiments this evening.
"It is our understanding that Judge Charleton has been tasked with leading the commission of investigation into the whistleblower allegations that go to the heart of Garda management," O'Brien said.
We are asking that Nóirín O'Sullivan step aside for the duration… as she has been specifically named in these allegations.
This is no reflection on Commissioner O'Sullivan or a comment on the validity of the allegations, but rather a statement on the need for there to be continued public confidence in the operation of An Garda Síochána.

Q: What kinds of Concierge Programs are available?
Q: How does a Personal Concierge service work?
Q: If I sign up for a monthly service package is that the entire cost of the Concierge Service?
Q: How are these other expenses paid?
Q: If I sign up for a monthly service package and I don't use all the time, does it carry over to the next month?
Q: What benefits do I get with an Executive Errands subscription?
Q: What is included in the Absentee Home Check?
Q: What happens when my subscription expires?
Q: Are Executive Errands Concierge Services tax deductible?
Q: What if I need services for tasks for my home other than labor only – i.e. plumbing or a handyman or a window washer?
Q: How do I get access to the Service Provider network and how much does it cost?
Q: How does Executive Errands make money on referrals if they are free?
Q: How do the Gift Certificates work?
A: Everyone who needs help organizing their lives and wants to have more free time for their family, themselves or their community.
A: Like Personal Assistance services, our Concierge services are defined as individual services for clients who need assistance managing their professional, personal or social commitments. These services include reservations, reminder services, personal shopping, date scheduling and management, prescription pickups/drop-offs, wait services, grocery shopping, daily needs, secretarial support……any type of errands or labor-related services that are legal and kind. We pride ourselves on being able to provide services for everything from the routine to the remarkable. These services are provided by the hour and are measured and billed in 15 minute increments.
Non-Member Services - for a one time service or the occasional service, we offer support based on an hourly fee. There is a one hour minimum. In communities where we have a pre-negotiated rate, the client may or may not receive a lower hourly rate depending on the arrangement with the community.
Monthly Services - Executive Errands® offers monthly service packages that are best for clients who are part time homeowners or who plan to use us on a regular basis. Each package includes a dedicated, Personal Concierge who will take over chores or activities delegated by the subscriber. This is basically a 'put us on retainer' program. You agree to a minimum number of hours per month. Hours on these plans do not roll over. There is a minimal yearly membership fee associated with this plan.
Bulk Services - For clients who want to use us monthly or on a regular basis but who don't want to commit to a monthly minimum amount of hours, we offer a 'bulk' program wherein you buy 4 hours at a non-member rate. These four hours are 'deposited' into an online account and we charge time against the account as used. When the bulk account gets down to a half hour or less, we automatically refill the account using the credit card we have on file. Accounts are refilled in four (4) hour blocks plus any deficit. There is a one-time setup fee associated with this type of account.
Corporate Services - We offer a variety of service plan options for businesses who wish to either subsidize or sponsor a Concierge program for their employees. Each program is designed specifically for a given company. For more information or to request a proposal for Corporate Services, please contact us.
Lobby Services - Like Corporate Services, Executive Errands® offers onsite full time support for commercial buildings and tenants. Each program is designed specifically for a given building. For more information or to request a proposal for Lobby Services, please contact us.
Vacation Services - Executive Errands® offers vacation packages for visitors to our beautiful desert. Vacationers may purchase a one-time four (4) hour package for $300 but this package is not subject to our automated refill policy. This package may be used for Concierge services only and may not be applied toward any One-At-a-Time vendor or service provider services. Sample uses for this package include stocking the refrigerator of your rental property or hotel room before arrival, providing special occasion errands, picking up last minute forgotten items, etc. Like all our packages, the costs of supplies or incidentals are billed separately and are subject to a minimum 20% convenience fee.
Country Club or Managed Communities - Usually approved through the Home Owners Association (HOA) Board of Directors, Executive Errands® 'gives' Concierge services to individual country club and/or managed communities in exchange for promotion as a community amenity. There is no admin or cost to the HOA and our services may be private labeled in the community if the Board desires. All interactions with homeowners and fee collections are done between Executive Errands® and the homeowner. Adding Concierge services as an amenity in a managed community is a wonderful way to enhance the perception of value for assessments without adding cost or administration. For more information or to request a proposal for this program, please contact us.
A: Simple. You make a 'to do' list, give us a call, drop us an email or send us a fax and we'll take care of the rest. No matter what kind of errands or chores you need done, we can most likely take care of them for you. No job is too small, too large or too unusual. If you need to do it, then we can help you get it done.
A: It depends. Our hourly rates do not include the cost of products or services, postage, long distance charges, third party charges or other such expenses which may be incurred in the performance of your specified duties. All reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in connection with performing the services are billed as incurred and are subject to a minimum 20% convenience fee.
A: All our concierge services are prepaid so our subscribers and customers must maintain an authorized credit card on file and expenses are billed as incurred. Of course, no charges will be made to your credit card without your advance knowledge.
A: No - that's why we offer small buckets of time. Time may always be added during a month, but excess minutes do not carry over.
Q: What is the difference between an Executive Errands® subscription and the purchase of hours in a block (bulk services)?
A: Because subscribers commit to a monthly minimum they receive a lower hourly rate but any unused minimum hours do not roll over and the Subscriber is required to pay the monthly minimum whether they are in residence or not or whether they use the hours or not. Subscriber minimum hours are charged at the beginning of the month and reconciled at the end. Any overages are charged at that time along with a prepay of the next month's minimum. There is a minimal yearly subscription fee to cover setup costs.
The hours for Clients who purchase time in blocks (bulk) never expire. They may be used however it is convenient (all at once, a half hour at a time, etc). These accounts are automatically refilled when they reach a half hour or less. Accounts are refilled in four (4) hour blocks plus any deficit. There is a one-time setup fee for this program.
A: We have an online electronic 30+ point Absentee Home Checklist that is customized to suit each homeowner's needs. We create a customized profile for you and your home so each Checklist is specific for you. When you're not here, home checks should be performed weekly, but may be on a frequency that supports your Executive Errands® account and your budget. We submit the Absentee Home Check form via an online application while we are at your home and then you'll receive an email telling you the check is completed. Each homeowner has access to their inspection information online via our website.
Minimum time for Absentee Home Checks is one half hour but may be more depending on size of home, profile specific customizations, issues or problems that occur between visits, special requests by the homeowner, etc. Executive Errands® takes great pride in caring for your home the same way you would. We are you when you can't be here and we take initiative to maintain your investment to the best of our abilities.
Furthermore, we do not give your keys to anyone, for any reason. If service providers need access to your home, we will let them in and out, but we do not give them your keys. If you need us to provide a key to someone, we shall do so immediately upon your completion of our Key Transfer request form.
A: All client subscriptions, if applicable, are automatically renewed on the anniversary date of their program in order to avoid any interruption in their services.
A: If you have us do tasks in association with your company or as a personal assistant, then our services may well be tax deductible. In fact, many of our clients do treat our services as an 'expense' and therefore as a tax deduction but you should always check with, and take the advice of, your own accountant and/or legal counsel.
A: Executive Errands® offers all sorts of One-At-a-Time Services – These are services offered by our Service Providers such as landscaping, auto-detailing, window washers, housekeepers, electricians, etc. We have a large network of Service Providers who are hand-selected and must meet a stringent set of requirements for customer service, ethical behavior and quality. Each Service Provider is insured properly for their particular trade and they all name Executive Errands® as additionally insured. No matter what you might need, Executive Errands® can most likely get it done.
A: There are three ways to access our Service Provider network.
1. If you are a regular client (either monthly or on the bulk program), you can just ask us for whatever you need and we'll get a quote, obtain your approval and get the work done.
2. If you're not a regular client, you can call us and request a referral and we'll process it through our website.
3. You can go directly to our website and click on 'Contractor Services' and fill out the services form and the appropriate company will contact you. There are no charges for referrals.
A: The Service Providers in our network pay us a nominal referral fee.
A: Anyone can purchase an Executive Errands® gift certificate. The minimum gift certificate is for one (1) hour. The hourly rate for gift certificates is as defined on our Monthly Plans page. This is the true 'one size fits all' gift and may be given to anyone to redeem as they see fit using our in house labor Concierge services. These gift certificates have no cash value and may not be applied toward subcontract, vendor or one-at-a-time services.
Give the gift of time to a family member, friend or customer. Signing them up is both quick and easy.

When couples are having problems with conceiving a child, sometimes the only option is to go for some type of In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
The gender selection technique is the only method which can virtually guarantee the gender of the child because embryos are tested for gender before they are implanted in the womb. These tested embryos are created by the Intracytoplamic Sperm Injection (ICSI). The eggs are harvested from the female patients who are interested in gender selection and a sperm sample is taken from the father (or donor) and the embryos are created in the lab for later implantation. These embryos are subject to a biopsy procedure on the third day of growth that allows for a single cell to be analyzed for male or female chromosomes. The success rates for this technique are between 97% and 99%.
Cost: Cost of IVF with Gender Selection Using ICSI in Cairo, Egypt is $3,000. However, the treatment cost may vary according to the condition of the patient.
Cairo, Egypt is renowned as an ideal destination for patients who want to undergo IVF with Gender Selection Using ICSI. There are numerous world-class clinics that offer affordable and comprehensive packages for those wanting to bring home their bundle of joy.
If you wish to know more about the IVF with Gender Selection Using ICSI in Cairo, Egypt, feel free to contact us!

An extract from Common Ground magazine with Marilyn Atkinson on how the brain learns.
CG: Tell us about the cerebral cortex. You say it is about two to three million years old. What is it doing? How does it learn?
MA: Well, it is so amazing! The research on the brain is amazing...We've got this two to three million-year-old brain that genealogically is so new that we hardly use it. We only use 5% of it. Visually it can do miraculous things that the emotional brain could never begin to do.
With the brain, you probably know that when we start asking rich questions, open-ended solution-focused questions, and really start visualizing moving pictures, we literally start growing neuron connectors. A person who's thinking, questioning and learning can grow about 2 miles of neurons linkages in a day. Our brains require a lot of food because we develop these pathways for learning, questioning and visualizing in a rich, energy consuming way. We are increasing our intelligence by miles.
People need to ask lots of questions and become really curious to do this. Gradually you develop a myelin sheath around the circuitries that hold new learning so you can actually use it. It is like when you ride a bicycle; it takes a couple of weeks to get habituated, which means that those neuron sheaths become myelinated and you can ride a bicycle for the rest of your life.
Well, the same skill development at the process level is available with different kinds of visualizing skills. A lot of people hardly ever visualize very much because they've not re-developed that skill-set, they don't even know its missing. In fact, this is true for the majority of people on the planet; growing up in cultures that don't use dialogue, questions, or a coaching approach in their teaching of young children.
We've become so overwhelmed by auditory tonal training and schooling dominated by closed statements of givens and conclusions, we hardly notice that we, too have built the same kind of closed, auditory, brain. And within that we listen to our own personal and negative tonal command structures, such as "You will probably fail again" . In the scope of Solution-Focused Coaching, these are called t. These negative conclusions are like a cork in the bottle. They plug up the whole visualizing capacity.
People visualize best when they're relaxed, like when we dream. This means that if people are tensing up to beta level auditory brain waves all their lives with an ongoing set of cautions and negative internal commands to themselves, then true curiosity and flowing visualization rarely gets started.
Upon discovering that using Solution-Focused questions, practices and a genuine curiosity about the emerging possibilities, our participants could hugely shift their intelligence and capacity to follow their vision, develop it into strategic plans, and create successful results. With this in mind, we created Erickson Coaching International in honor of Milton Erickson. Since then I've been busy developing the system throughout the world.

Romania-based Adventist Internet Ministry Continues to Thrive after 15 Years
by AT News Team
Intercer is an independent Adventist ministry that serves the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Romania and Romanian immigrants across Europe, North America and Australia. Through web publications and social media it delivers news as well as articles about technology and health, Romanian poetry translated into English, music and video clips, links to online educational courses and a friendship site. It averages 60,000 readers a month and is widely read among Adventists with a Romanian background.
In 1996, Lucian Mihailescu, a computer analyst for a power company in Romania and a member of the Adventist Church, first saw an Adventist web site: the It Is Written web page. The following year he created the first Adventist web site in Romania for his local church in Slobozia, Ilomita, and that launched the Intercer ministry.
"Our main goal was to get to the secular people, but also to give Adventist members a place to find current spiritual materials," Mihailescu told Adventist Today. In July 1998 he added the Romanian Online Bible. "And over the years the website visitors' stats shifted. Our audience is about 70 percent Adventist" now.
Intercer publishes materials in Romanian, English and Hungarian. The majority of the readers are from Romania with smaller numbers from North America, Spain, Italy, Moldova, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. It has become a cluster of web sites, "some designed for Adventists, some for other Christians and some for secular people," states Mihailescu.
Romania had one of the highest percentages of Adventists of any country in Europe a few decades ago and Adventist immigrants can be found in sufficient numbers to start congregations that function in the Romanian language in many cities in the United States, Europe and Australia. "The Romanian Diaspora appreciates our ministry," Mihailescu reports. "It keeps them close to their family at home and with their local church back in Romania."
Intercer is actually an inter-connected set of three organizations. International Christian Education and Relief Society (INTERCER) headquartered in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada; Lucian Web Service, Mihailescu's private business since 2002 that does database development and content management services for commercial and nonprofit clients; and Internet to Heaven/Intercer Romania, the original web site operation. Intercer also publishes a daily Email newsletter with links to its own materials and several providers that it represents. The operation is a member of Adventist-Laymen's Services and Industries (ASI) in the Romania Union Conference.
In recent years support for the Intercer ministry has become sufficient that Mihailescu quit his job with the power company and now works full time for the nonprofit and his associated consultant practice. "We did not get any salary for the first 12 years," he told Adventist Today. In fact, he had to reach into his own pocket to help cover the expenses of Intercer's operation.
"We want to thank God for His help all these years," Mihailescu stated. "Also we want to say 'Thank you!' to our co-workers, sponsors, collaborators and website visitors." You can see Intercer at: https://en.intercer.net/
I am thankful for such dedicated persons who donate their lives in ministering to the specific needs of their brothers and sisters inside and outside their church.


The 2016 Nissan Murano and the 2016 Toyota Rav4 are two of the newest crossover vehicles to hit the market. Crossover was a term coined for SUVs that have the size of a sports utility vehicle but the drivability of a car. The newest advancements in technology has enabled these vehicles to transcend both groups to create their own lane. In this article, we explore the newest features of the 2016 Nissan Murano and the 2016 RAV4. Montgomeryville Nissan provides quality services to drivers in the Doylestown, Lansdale and Philadelphia areas. Contact us today to test drive the new 2016 Nissan Murano.
The 2016 Nissan Murano takes its design cues from the jets in the sky. Nissan manufacturers were inspired by the next generation in aerospace. Features such a floating roofline, panoramic moon roof, jet-inspired wraparound taillights, and LED headlamps all combine to give the Murano that aerodynamic look.
The Murano engine is a turbo charged 3.5L V6 engine that reaches up to 260 horsepower. The engine also has a variety of drivetrains including all-wheel, four-wheel,and two-wheel drive. Eco-friendly drivers will appreciate the Ecoboost engine with four cylinders and an electric powered motor. Driver assist technology enables drivers to view the motor and engine interaction.
The all-new instrument panel includes the Drive Assist Display, which provides you with turn-by-turn navigation, tire pressure readings, fuel and safety alerts. The 7-inch monitor is high resolution so it's easy to read in the nighttime. The Around View Monitor System has four birds-eye cameras that provide a 360-degree view of the Murano. The interior double-screen monitor allows drivers to zoom in on different angles of the vehicle for better monitoring.
Use the Power Liftgate to access the 70 cubic feet of cargo space by using the buttons available on your vehicle remote, hatch button or dashboard to control the power liftgate.
The 2016 Toyota Rav4 is one of the latest offerings by the Toyota manufacturers. The vehicle fashions itself as a compact crossover with lots of versatility. The exterior has a similar design to the Murano with aerodynamic lights and fluid angles. The 17-inch steel wheels complete the futuristic look.
The RAV4 has six trim levels that can all be configured to fit the unique needs of the driver. The Platinum trim has the most advanced technology in the bunch with four-door power lift gates, LED projector-beam headlights, and bird's eye view camera with perimeter scan. Almost all of the trims offer front-wheel drive or Dynamic torque control all-wheel drive. The base engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed transmission.

Meidan Emam
Country: iran City: Isfahan Categories: Cultural, UNESCO
Imam Square (Naqsh-e Jahan)
Naqsh-e Jahan Square (World Heritage Site) and the centerpiece to the majestic collection of palaces, public mosque, and bazaar of the ambitious city planning of Shah Abbas the Great. During the reign of Shah Abbas I and his successors, this square was an area where festivities, polo, dramatics and military parades took place. Two stone gates of the polo are embedded in the north and south of this square. The length of this great square is 500 meters from north to south, and its width about 150 meters from east to west. Most of the foreign tourists believe that Imam square is one of the greatest squares in the world. Naqsh-e Jahan Square has witnessed many historical memories of Iran during the past four centuries. Memories of the life of Shah Abbas the Great and his successors until the end of the Safavid era is associated with this great historical square.
Imam Mosque
The construction of this mosque situated at the south side of Imam Square (Naqsh-e Jahan) started in 1020 A.H under the order of Shah Abbas I during the twenty-fourth year of his reign, and the decorations and extensions of the building were completed during the rule of his successors. The chief architect and the supervisor of the building were Ostad Ali Akbar Isfahani and Moheb Ali Beik. This mosque is a masterpiece of the 16th century from the viewpoint of architecture, tile work and stone carving. One of the interesting features of this mosque is the echo of sound in the center of the gigantic dome in the southern section. The huge one-piece marble and other slabs of stone, besides the intricate tile work and adornments prove extremely spectacular views of this mosque.
Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque
This mosque is another masterpiece of architecture and tile work of the 16th century which was constructed by a decree issued by Shah Abbas I and took a period of 18 years to be completed. The architect and mason of this structure was Ostad Mohammad Reza Isfahani. Inside tile work decorations of the plinth to the top are covered with mosaic tiles. In terms of the architectural grandeur of the mosque, foreign archaeologists believe: "It can hardly be considered a product of human hands." Sheikh Lotfollah was one of the great pious in the Shia sect, in what is known as Lebanon today. At the invitation of Shah Abbas I, he came to reside in Isfahan. This place was constructed in honor of this great man who led the prayers and preached in this mosque.

Shah Abbas the second, expanded the palace and a music hall (room) was constructed on the top of palace.
The palace is about 38 meters high, the loftiest and tallest building in the 17th century. There are 52 rooms, but because a long restoration most of rooms are closed to visitors.
An old door was replaced from the shrine of Immam Ali in Najaf, to Isfahan. All people even the Shah, when they entered the palace dismounted from horses, in order to respect Immam Ali.
Shah Abbas considered himself as a real follower of Immam Ali. A beautiful door ornamented with gold, silver and other fine arts was made in Isfahan and dedicated to the holy shrine of Immam Ali which is located in Najaf Iraq.
Ali Reza Abbasi the prominent artist has worked on glorious miniature paintings. The main reception hall and all other rooms were decorated with fabulous plaster work, plaster carving and miniature paintings.

On the west side of the fifth floor, there is a balcony facing to royal gardens, and the palace of Chehel Sotoun. Just on western side in the same neighborhood there is an old monument, called Tohid Khaneh. It was used by Dervishes at the time of Shah Abbas the great. This monument and all rooms enclosed the Tohid Khane's courtyard, now are used as a part of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Isfahan.

Kuo: This year's iPhones will support faster mmWave 5G despite earlier report
Ben Lovejoy
- Jan. 13th 2020 4:18 am PT
@benlovejoy
Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said that this year's iPhones will support 'true' 5G, aka mmWave 5G, despite an earlier analyst report.
A report last week from analysts at Susquehanna claimed that this year's iPhones would only support sub-6GHz 5G. This does typically offer somewhat faster speeds than LTE, and significantly lower latency, but doesn't match the far higher speeds offered by mmWave 5G…
However, Kuo says this isn't the case. While his previous note had said only that all four of this year's iPhones would support 5G without specifying the type, his latest supply-chain report specifically says that they will support both bands.
We believe that Apple will release new iPhones that support mmWave and Sub-6GHz iPhones at the same time in 2H20. Because 5G iPhones are divided into Sub-6GHz and Sub-6GHz + mmWave models, the complexity of new product development is higher, which is also beneficial to Fuzhikang Group of NRE.
According to our latest survey, the development of the Sub-6GHz + mmWave iPhone is progressing as scheduled, and it is expected to ship at the end of 3Q20 or early 4Q20.
We're expecting to see four new iPhones this year, with 5.4-inch, 6.1-inch, and 6.7-inch screens. All four are reported to have OLED screens this time, including the replacement for the entry-level iPhone 11, which has an LCD screen. A new time-of-flight 3D depth-sensing rear camera system for AR applications is expected to be one of the distinguishing features of the flagship models.
We're also anticipating a new look to this year's iPhones, with a slab-sided design reminiscent of the iPhone 4 to 5s, an aesthetic already reflected in the current iPad Pro models.
The combination of a new look and 5G is expected to give a significant boost to iPhone sales this year, with supply-chain reports suggesting that Apple is gearing up for a 10% increase, with one report even suggesting that Apple might top 100M sales of this year's models by the end of the year.
Of course, Apple supporting the faster 5G standard is only half the story: it also needs to be available from carriers. Although the early rollout of mmWave 5G is underway, the extremely limited range – closer to WiFi than LTE – means that it is mostly only available at specific high-density locations like rail stations, sports stadiums, and major tourist attractions.
The iPhone 12 includes 5G speed, an A14 Bionic chip, an edge-to-edge OLED display, and it comes in multiple color options starting at $699.

This is the second film by Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón, who doesn't make a lot of films, but when he does, they are worth noting. His last three were Children of Men in 2006, Gravity in 2013, and Roma in 2018. What a trio, huh? He's won five Oscars.
It's sweet little story about a girl who has left India with her fabulously wealthy father, who is off to fight in World War I. She is placed in an exclusive girls' school in New York, run by the formidable, nasty Miss Minchen, played formidably and nastily by Eleanor Bron. But when Papa dies in the trenches (or so they think!), and his checks no longer arrive, Minchin demotes young Sara to servanthood, housing her in the cold drafty attic with the Negro scullery maid, Becky.
All is not lost. She has befriended everyone in the school, the girls love her and help her out. She tells them stories either from Hindu mythology or stuff she makes up. In a truly Dickensian set of coincidences, it turns out Daddy is not dead, he has amnesia, and happens to be living right next door!
We enjoyed this a lot. The sets are quite large, and well-designed. Liesel Matthews is terrific as Sara, and you might have thought she would move on to more parts and into adulthood. But she didn't. Turns out she is really dirty rotten filthy stinkin' rich! She is a member of the Pritzker family, which is about as rich as it gets. Like, they own Hyatt. Not just a hotel, the whole friggin' chain! Also little things like a bank here and there, and the Royal Caribbean line. Shit, I once went on a cruise on a ship her family owned.
She only made two more movies, and then retired to be wealthy. Actually, I'm being facetious. She is one of those rare super-rich people who use their money to do good. She works at things like microfinance, and "impact investing," which is about putting your money where it will do some social good. Bully for her. The world lost a good actress, but the world's full of them, ain't it? Good rich people are much rarer, and more valuable, in my opinion.

Effects of High-Intensity Strength Training on Multiple Risk Factors for Osteoporotic Fractures: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Miriam E. Nelson, PhD; Maria A. Fiatarone, MD; Christina M. Morganti, MD; et al Isaiah Trice, PhD; Robert A. Greenberg; William J. Evans, PhD
From the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, Boston, Mass (Drs Nelson, Fiatarone, Morganti, and Trice, and Mr Greenberg); the Division on Aging, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass (Dr Fiatarone); and the Noll Physiological Research Center at the Pennsylvania State University, University Park (Dr Evans).
JAMA. 1994;272(24):1909-1914. doi:10.1001/jama.1994.03520240037038
Objective. —To determine how multiple risk factors for osteoporotic fractures could be modified by high-intensity strength training exercises in postmenopausal women.
Design. —Randomized controlled trial of 1-year duration.
Setting. —Exercise laboratory at Tufts University, Boston, Mass.
Population. —Forty postmenopausal white women, 50 to 70 years of age, participated in the study; 39 women completed the study. The subjects were sedentary and estrogen-deplete.
Interventions. —High-intensity strength training exercises 2 days per week using five different exercises (n=20) vs untreated controls (n=19).
Main Outcome Measures. —Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry for bone status, one repetition maximum for muscle strength, 24-hour urinary creatinine for muscle mass, and backward tandem walk for dynamic balance.
Results. —Femoral neck bone mineral density and lumbar spine bone mineral density increased by 0.005±0.039 g/cm2 (0.9%±4.5%) (mean±SD) and 0.009±0.033 g/cm2 (10%±3.6%), respectively, in the strength-trained women and decreased by -0.022±0.035 g/cm2 (-2.5%±3.8%) and -0.019±0.035 g/cm2 (-1.8%±3.5%), respectively, in the controls (P=.02 and.04). Total body bone mineral content was preserved in the strength-trained women (+2.0±68 g; 0.0%±3.0%) and tended to decrease in the controls (-33+77 g; -1.2%±3.4%, P=.12). Muscle mass, muscle strength, and dynamic balance increased in the strength-trained women and decreased in the controls (P=.03 to <.001).
Conclusions. —High-intensity strength training exercises are an effective and feasible means to preserve bone density while improving muscle mass, strength, and balance in postmenopausal women.(JAMA. 1994;272:1909-1914)

Michael Cerveris and Kimberly Kaye met across a microphone in 2008. Their relationship began as a professional one that turned romantic, then musical, then friendly after they split. The kind of unflinching honesty that made those relationship changes possible is woven into the fabric of their music. "It was hard times. And because therapy was damned expensive, we thought if we spent more time singing in the living room, there'd be less time for fighting," says Kaye.
Southern by birth or by inclination, they gathered like-minded friends Lorenzo Wolff on bass and Eddy Zweiback on drums, sometimes adding fiddle player Justin Smith and pedal steel player Jon Graboff, and convincing them all to lower their prodigious musical skills to their commonest level, and something like a band was born. The idea was pretty simple: squeeze a bunch of friends together in a living room and play through some country tunes. Good time songs and sad ones, old ones and new ones. Not too much planning, and not too much drinking (well...not everything went as planned).
Weeks after their first show in a hotel lobby, they were invited to appear at Lincoln Center's American Songbook series, and on NPR's Mountain Stage broadcast live from West Virginia, twice (once with Arlo Guthrie and again with Judy Collins, Ari Hest and Ben Sollee). They've appeared often at Jazz Fest in New Orleans, Chickie Wah Wah, Siberia, The Hi Ho Lounge, d.b.a., Howlin' Wolf, and Tipitina's, in New York at Joe's Pub, Mercury Lounge, City Winery, and Rockwood Music Hall, and at The Blue Moon Saloon in Lafayette, LA. Loose Cattle's recordings, including debut Live album, North of Houston, a 45rpm single, Pony Girl b/w St James Infirmary, and their 2017 Christmas album, Seasonal Affective Disorder (chosen one of Rolling Stone Country's "Ten Country/Americana Records To Hear Right Now" and awarded 4 out of 5 stars from the LA Times) are all available from LowHeatRecords.com, and on iTunes, amazon.com, Bandcamp, and through your less discerning retail outlets.

Increasing Number of Elderly Chinese-American Citizens Contemplate Suicide Because of Discrimination, Claims New Research
The research by University of Michigan traces the relationship between discrimination and suicidal thoughts, also understood as suicide ideation among aged Chinese-American

Discrimination at public spaces and work, alike often prompts aged Chinese-Americans to feel like they are not 'welcome' in the area. Pixabay
A new research examined how racial bias prompts elderly Chinese-Americans to contemplate suicide
Discrimination can impair an individual's physical, emotional and mental well-being
The study revealed that individuals are twice as likely to think about taking their own life when subjected to discriminatory behavior
Chicago, September 2, 2017 : According to World Health Organization (WHO), about 800,000 people end their lives every year, and there are countless more who attempt suicide. These deliberate deaths have long-lasting effects not just on the families of the people involved, but also on the larger society. According to a new research, people who experience discrimination of any form are twice as likely to contemplate taking their own life in comparison to those who didn't experience similar thoughts.
The research by University of Michigan traced the relationship between discrimination and suicidal thoughts, also understood as suicide ideation among aged Chinese-American citizens.
Lydia Li, associate professor at the University Of Michigan School Of Social Work and a co-author of the study believes prejudicial treatment or racial bias is an extremely challenging experience for the elderly that can hamper not just emotional, but also mental and physical well being, according to a report by ANI.
"It's a serious matter. It's not something you can just forget" she said in an interview with HuffPost, further adding, "It cuts into peoples' thoughts about their place on this planet."
The research examined over 3,000 Chinese American seniors aged 60 years and above in the greater Chicago area, who had immigrated to the United States and have been living here for more than twenty years.
Further, 57 per cent of the study participants were women.
Professor Li along with the team obtained and analyzed the background information of all participants, including their age, education, and marital status through a detailed questionnaire. The participants were also asked to share specific experiences of discrimination, if faced any. Additionally, the questionnaire gauged their take on suicide and questioned if they had ever harbored suicidal thoughts.
Revelations Of The Study
The study revealed that about 4 per cent of the participants had debated suicide all within a period of 30 days. Furthermore, 21 per cent had reported experiencing discrimination in a variety of situations.
The participants in the research revealed experiencing prejudicial discrimination at public spaces and work, alike which often prompts them to feel like they are not 'welcome' in the area.
According to the study, participants who experienced discrimination were twice as likely to contemplate taking their own life in comparison to those who didn't experience similar thoughts.
The study asserts that the impact of racial bias on health shouldn't be underestimated, or ignored. Wikimedia
According to Professor Li, apart from raising a sense of vulnerability and isolation, discrimination among older Chinese-Americans also impedes them from seeking help. In her opinion, "Assimilation difficulty, cultural beliefs and family pride may preclude them from seeking help. Consequently they may come to see suicide as a viable alternative", as reported by ANI.
The participants of the research belonged to the ethnic minority of Chinese-American immigrants who did not face any such bias in their own country. Delving on this fact, Professor Li noted that it gets increasingly difficult for the aged people belonging to this group to cope with the indifferent behavior because "It's not something they've been trained to deal with."
Risk Factors And Remedial Mechanisms
The study revealed noteworthy risk factors that can potentially prompt the older population to contemplate deadly actions. These include,
The research also noted that the treatment imparted to citizens can vary among people settled in the rural areas.

However, the problem can be combated with sufficient support from the family. Professor Li also noted the positive contribution of clinicians, who must recognize the gravity of the situation and its impact on the ethnic minority in the old-age bracket.
The need of the hour is to make the larger public aware of the health hazard that discrimination of any kind poses to individuals. Efforts must also be taken to empower people who are at the receiving end of racial bias and bigotry treatment in a way that makes them feel an intrinsic part of the larger society. Professor Li suggests doing so by particularly helping new immigrants establish themselves in the mainstream society and assuring them that these vile instances are not their fault.

Hoisting 150,000-pound electrical transformers for a power company, deftly maneuvering 3,000-pound boilers into a ski area or lifting a new generator through a hole in a second story wall is all in a day's work for Demag Riggers & Crane Services.
Profiled in the next edition of The Build Board, Demag Riggers & Crane Services uses a variety of forklifts, up to 35,000 pounds with boom roll off and slide axle trailers, and all-terrain hydraulic cranes, up to 200 tons, to provide crane and rigging services throughout Vermont and New York. Run by brothers Dave and Doug, the company is a third generation, family run business. Started in 1921 by their grandfather as a "you call, we haul" business, the company expanded into rigging and crane services because of John Henry (Dave and Doug's father) who was the master rigger at G.E. and who operated the first hydraulic wrecker at Camp Johnson, when he served in the Vermont National Guard.
Since the 1980s, Demag has worked for a variety of long-time, repeat customers who have been with them since the early 1980s like the UVM Medical Center, Ben and Jerry's, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Jay Peak, Hood, and all the power companies.

Is AR the Future of our Increasingly Digital World?
September 02. 2020
Imagine a device which, when used to look at something, throws up information on whatever you're pointing at. Menus for restaurants, dates of establishment for institutes, and so on. These are the sort of possibilities afforded by Augmented Reality (AR).
AR is a science fiction idea that successfully made the transition to reality. The fundamental idea behind augmented reality is to add something extra to your experience of reality. So, if you are watching a movie or playing a game, AR adds to that experience in some way or form to turn the experience immersive and interactive. AR basically superimposes computer-generated information (audio, visual, haptic, etc.) on the real-world objects.
AR can be defined as a system that fulfills three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects.
How does AR work?
A camera-equipped device is essential for an AR experience. Upon pointing the device at an object, computer vision technology is used to recognize it. The device then downloads information about the object from the cloud, in much the same way that a web browser loads a page via a URL. In this case, the information is presented in a 3-D experience.
AR can provide a view of the real-time data flowing from products and allow users to control them by touchscreen, voice, or gesture. An operator using an AR headset to interact with an industrial robot might see superimposed data about the robot's performance and gain access to its controls.
The size and orientation of objects viewed through the AR display adjusts/changes in real-time. New graphical or text information comes into view while other information passes out of view as the user moves about. In industrial settings, users in different roles, such as a machine operator and a maintenance technician, can look at the same object but be presented with different AR experiences that are tailored to their needs.
AR – a novel way of shopping
A 2018 Gartner report stated, "By 2020, 100 million consumers will shop in AR online and in-store." The current global pandemic has put a damper on consumer sentiments worldwide and we may not see those numbers. But AR can help make the in-store shopping experience more secure by reducing the need to touch a lot of objects and surfaces.
Brands like American Apparel, Uniqlo, and Lacoste already have showrooms and fitting rooms that provide try-before-you-buy options in AR spaces. Smart mirror technologies that scan RFID tags also offer the ability to bring recommendations to the brick-and-mortar shopping experience.
IKEA customers have access to an app that permits them to point their phones at spaces and see what different products would look like in their own homes.
In the current global climate, fashion and lifestyle brands stand to gain from technologies that handle facial recognition, adapt to local lighting conditions, and provide personalized recommendations.
According to a BRP report, 48% consumers said they would be more inclined to buy from a retailer that provided AR experiences. Retailers may be able to attract more customers with an immersive and secure shopping experience in a post-Corona world.
35% of sales on Amazon are derived from its recommendation engine, which is powered by Machine Learning. Leveraging this in the real world also has immense commercial potential.
AR for Navigation Solutions
Map services from Google and Apple have already found mass acceptance, indoor navigation is next. Apps based on ARKit and ARCore can enable navigating inside spaces like airports, malls, hospitals, etc. Gatwick Airport has already deployed its own smartphone solution that provides routes to terminals and gates based on a user's flight number.
In 2019, a beta version of AR walking directions feature was launched for Google Maps for all AR-compatible iOS and Android mobile devices. You could view information about your surroundings by pointing your phone's camera towards it.
AR in Automotive Industry
AR can be used in a breadth of ways in the automotive industry. Starting with dashboard-mounted heads-up displays to interactive experiences in showrooms and more.
AR is also employed by some carmakers to help aid in car maintenance (Volkswagen's Marta app) and car manufacturing and selling processes (Volvo's project with Microsoft HoloLens).
The heads-up display is one of the most popular uses of AR in this industry. Not only can drivers get directions and alerts on hazards, but also information on landmarks and nearby locations.
Hyundai has been a leader in AR research that goes beyond the cockpit-style view of the motorist's experience. They have reimagined maintenance manuals with AR and has apps to point their phones at their cars to get information. Mercedes has a similar app, but its version adds a chatbot to provide virtual assistance.
AR in Healthcare
Applications of AR is opening up new opportunities in the healthcare industry. It's expected that the global market will reach a value of $1.5B. By enabling healthcare workers with real-time data and patient information, AR can aid in more accurate diagnoses and more precise surgeries.
AR can also bring huge value to practicing medicine and education by allowing students and trainee physicians to better visualize health issues and scenarios that they one day will be treating. The benefit that AR can bring to the healthcare industry can be ground-breaking and we are just witnessing the beginning of what is to come from AR in the field of medicine.
AR-powered Solutions for Enterprises
Smart glasses are quickly gaining popularity. Military, medical and enterprise solutions, however, are beginning to prove the value of combining AR with headsets and smart glasses.
Microsoft HoloLens 2 was likely the most anticipated product in this space in 2019. The company hopes to roll out its technology to great fanfare by demonstrating improvements in raw processing power, battery life, and wear ability. The U.S. Army has awarded a $480 contract to Microsoft, and they are also working with the industrial IoT firm PTC to streamline the development of both augmented and mixed reality products.
Walmart and Tyson are testing programs that will transition traditional training methods into mixed reality (MR) settings. This will bring about new ways to learn about compliance and safety issues by looking around mixed-reality environments and identifying problems in a way that's practical and engaging. Integration with other recent workplace training trends, especially gamification, may compound the returns that AR and MR solutions generate. Per ABI Research, AR-based training in enterprise will be a $6 billion industry by 2022.
Improvements in prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and quality control are expected to emerge from this trend, too, as workers will be able to make on-the-fly comparisons of real-world items against available documentation and specifications. Jobs that call for workers' hands to be free will also benefit significantly from AR headsets and glasses.
Augmented reality is the next 'BIG THING', it will absolutely revolutionize almost every aspect of life. Everything from medicine to education to construction to entertainment. AR application has already started to appear on the world's laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Feis Teamhra: A Turn at Tara - Sunday 28th August 2011
The fourth annual Feis Teamhra: A Turn at Tara, which features readings and performances by internationally-recognized Irish writers and musicians, will be held between 3 and 5 o'clock on Sunday August 28th 2011 on the Hill of Tara itself. Those taking part this year are Aidan Brennan, Peter Fallon, Laoise Kelly, Susan McKeown, Paul Murray and a surprise musical guest who just happens to be one of Ireland's greatest singer-songwriters. The MC for the event is Paul Muldoon. Admission is free.
While the Hill of Tara has in recent years become a contested spot, the note the organizers hope to strike is not one of confrontation but celebration. Feis Teamhra: A Turn at Tara is a celebration of the continuity of the linked traditions of Irish writing and music, traditions that have almost certainly flourished here since at least 2000 BC.
We're delighted to welcome Paul Murray, the Dublin-based author of An Evening of Long Goodbyes (2003), which was shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award, and Skippy Dies (2010), a book quite accurately described by the New York Times as "extravagantly entertaining." The New Yorker, meanwhile, praised its "remarkable dialogue, which captures the free-associative, sex-obsessed energy of teenage conversation in all its coarse, riffing brilliance." Skippy Dies, a book that's reminiscent of A Portrait on peyote, was shortlisted for the Costa Prize, the National Book Critics' Circle Prize and the Irish Book Award.
We also extend a particular welcome to the Meath-based poet and publisher Peter Fallon, who is celebrated for the unfussy but nonetheless fusillading nature of his poems. They speak softly but carry a big stick, one cut from a local hedge. Some of Peter Fallon's best work is to be found in News of the World: Selected and New Poems (1998) and his translations of The Georgics of Virgil (2004/2006). A member of Aosdana, Peter Fallon received the 1993 O'Shaughnessy Poetry Award from the Irish American Cultural Institute.
The musical component of Feis Teamhra: A Turn at Tara is curated by Susan McKeown, the Dublin-born, New York-based, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter. Susan McKeown released her seventh solo album, Singing in the Dark, in October 2010. In addition to her career as a solo artist, Susan McKeown's heart-felt, heart-breaking singing has led her to work with, among others, Natalie Merchant, Linda Thompson, Pete Seeger, Mary Margaret O'Hara, Billy Bragg, Arlo Guthrie, and the Klezmatics.
Among the other musicians featured this year are Aidan Brennan and Laoise Kelly. Aidan Brennan is an inspired guitarist who has worked not only with Susan McKeown (Sweet Liberty, 2004), but Kevin Burke (Kevin Burke in Concert, 1999) and Loreena McKennitt (Book of Secrets, 1997, and Midwinter Night's Dream, 2008). Born in Dublin, Aidan Brennan now lives in Laois.
Laoise Kelly, generally considered to be the foremost Irish harper, lives in her native Mayo. The Irish Times has described her as "a young harpist with the disposition of an iconoclast and the talent and technique of a virtuoso." In addition to her own CD (Just Harp, 2000), Laoise Kelly has worked with Sharon Shannon, The Chieftains, Natalie MacMaster, Sinead O'Connor and Kate Bush.

A lot of people know how great yoga is for the mind and the body. This is why they try really hard to fit the exercise into their daily routine. If you are someone who's planning on doing the same thing, it's important that you know exactly what yoga's benefits are all about.
Below is a list to give you a clearer idea.
Like most exercise, yoga has this ability to increase the happy hormones in your body. Also known as serotonin, this happy hormone regulates mood, happiness, and anxiety. Getting low levels of it can predispose you to depression, poor sleep, impaired social behavior, and even memory loss.
So, the next time you're feeling low and sad, get your mat and start doing your poses. The Camel pose, Head to Knee pose, and the Pigeon pose can make you feel fantastic in just minutes.
When you have so many things going on in your life, it's hard to stay focused. And when you can't think straight, you'll find it difficult to come up with the best decisions.
Consistent yoga practice can help you with that. A study found out and suggested that a brief yoga program can do a lot when it comes to enhancing attentive mindfulness and strengthening cognitive functioning.
Yoga can help lose weight through a number of ways. For one, it can make you be more mindful of what you eat. It can also make you stronger in resisting cravings for unhealthy foods.
Physically, yoga can help you shed your unwanted fats. The results may not happen that fast but with consistent practice, you'll see changes in your weight and how your body looks.
Performing poses after poses stimulate the lymphatic vessels which are designed to help get rid of waste, toxins, and other unwanted materials.
Additionally, performing yoga in a hot environment, such as what you do during a hot yoga class can help speed up the detoxification process.
With so many tasks at work and so many chores to finish at home, getting a "me time" isn't as easy as it sounds. Doing yoga gives you the opportunity to catch up with your body and give it the time and attention it needs.
Yoga encourages you to discover more about yourself and to be fine with what you learn. It teaches you to get to know your flaws and be friends with them.
When you exercise, you boost your heart rate and blood circulation. With better circulation, more blood cells and oxygen get to your skin which leaves you with a natural glow after. And when you add heat to your routine, you get even more than that.
Practicing yoga daily builds muscle memory which increases your flexibility. Now, this doesn't mean that doing yoga today can make you instantly flexible tomorrow.
The process requires both time and patience. Stick to a routine and you'll be able to see results soon.
One of the things you'll learn with yoga is mindful breathing. The more you become comfortable with it, the easier it'll get for you. And once you're used to mindful breathing, you'll be able to relax easily even during stressful times. You'll be able to connect your mind with your body with ease and to let go of any negativity.

Q: vector of variable length vectors in MATLAB I want to sum up several vectors of different size in an array. Each time one of the vectors drops out of my program, I want to append it to my array. Like this:
array = [array, vector];

In the end I want to let this array be the output of a function. But it gives me wrong results. Is this possible with MATLAB?
Thanks and kind regards,
Damian

A: Okay, given that we're dealing with column vectors of different size, you can't put them all in a numerical array, since a numerical array has to be rectangular. If you really wanted to put them in the numerical array, then the column length of the array will need to be the length of the longest vector, and you'll have to pad out the shorter vectors with NaNs.
Given this, a better solution would be, as chaohuang hinted at in the comments, to use a cell array, and store one vector in each cell. The problem is that you don't know beforehand how many vectors there will be. The usual approach that I'm aware of for this problem is as follows (but if someone has a better idea, I'm keen to learn!):
UpperBound = SomeLargeNumber;
Array = cell(1, UpperBound);
Counter = 0;
while SomeCondition
    Counter = Counter + 1;
    if Counter > UpperBound
        error('You did not choose a large enough upper bound!');
    end
    %#Create your vector here
    Array{1, Counter} = YourVectorHere;

end
Array = Array(1, 1:Counter);

In other words, choose some upper bound beforehand that you are sure you won't go above in the loop, and then cut your cell array down to size once the loop is finished. Also, I've put in an error trap in case you're choice of upper bound turns out to be too small!
Oh, by the way, I just noted in your question the words "sum up several vectors". Was this a figure of speech or did you actually want to perform a sum operation somewhere?
