Editor in Chief THE Volume 69 No. 4 By Heather O'Brien DePaul's current use of the quarter system is being questioned and .evaluated in comparison to the commonly used semester system. A recommendation should be made by the end of the academic year regarding whether or not a change should occur. Committee formed A formal committee was formed in June through Faculty Council to research and discuss the issues involved with each system. "It's a huge question whether a change should be recommended or approved," said Paul Camen- By Mike O'Connor Students, faculty and staff will have a chance to voice their opinions on DePaul parking and other related topics in a parking survey that will be distributed on campus the week of October 15. The survey will be distributed by the security department, and the firm of Barton, Aschman and Associates will tabulate the results. According to Sgt. Robert Wachowski of security, surveys will be distributed to students in the classrooms and at DePaul's seven residence halls. Faculty and staff will receive the survey through the in-house mail. "I expect to get good participation in the survey, especially in the classrooms," Wachowski said, "Parking is a hot topic on this campus." isch, president of faculty council and professor of religious studies.Kristine Garrigan, professor of English, was temporarily appointed to convene the committee. In addition, there is one member from each of the colleges, except for the law school, -which is currently on the semester system.The question of switching also arose in the mid '60s and the end of the '70s at DePaul, but no move was made, according to Garrigan. The committee will be meeting next week and will then elect a permanent chairperson and set a basic agenda for the upcoming year, said Garrigan. Sparks flew Thursday between students between Oxford, Glasgow, and DePaul in a debate over flag burning. This event has become an annual occurance between the three Universities. Security parking survey aimed at needs of university facilities The last major survey of DePaul parking was done in 1986, according to Wachowski, and updates have been done in recent years. "We re-stripped some of the lots on the recommendations of the last survey," Wachowski said. "This information will provide us with the number of spaces that are being used and how to accomodate the future growth of the university." While students may be irritated to find bright orange stickers on their cars when they park illegally in the lots, Wachowski maintains that the practice is a necessary evil. "Monday, Wednesday and Fridays are peak days for us," he said. "Tuesdays and Thursdays are still not a problem. But between 9:00 a.m. and 1:30 DePaulia Committee formed to review semester possibility "What is unique about this committee is that it is strictly based on faculty viewpoint. We will be looking at different calendar systems and how they affect the quality of teaching," Garrigan said. "Whatever recommendations we may have at the end of the year would have to be conveyed to the larger university body. We want to come up with well-rounded suggestions," added Garrigan. Student input hasn't yet been addressed. "It's not (faculty) council's place to select students for this committee if it were decided," said Camenisch, "it would request students through DePaul University's Official Student Newspaper Photo/Kristina Adams p.m. on peak days, parking is really tight, pretty much at capacity."If we didn't do the enforcement we would have a real problem, with neighbors and all kinds of people parking in there. We keep the lots available to DePaul people only. Even visitors must have some business on campus," said Wachowski. Wachowski said parking enforcement is very efficient. Two years ago, students took over patrolling the lots from security officers. Wachowski added that the process is constant throughout the day. The security department updates its list of parking offenders each day. In the worst case there might be a two day turnaround, according to Wachowski. But "on (See PARKING, pg. 2) SGA or another student body if that were decided." The issue of the quarter system versus semesters doesn't greatly affect prospective student enrollment, according to Lucy Leusch, director of undergraduate admissions. "Prospective freshmen have no knowledge or point of reference of the different systems. It's not an issue of entrance for them," said Leusch. However, the transfer student may be more concerned with the systems, although it usually isn't a negative concern, according to Leusch.

Although DePaul has every reason to believe that they will reach their goal, Larry Berman, Director of Annual Giving, stated that the direction the economy is taking will mostly affect the "average guy on the street who normally gives $50 or $100.

But according to 1989-90 statistics, transfer students made up 48% of new student enrollment, nearly half of incoming students, which could make the issue an important one in recruitment of transfers. "The quarter system is in the minority of those used. If prospective students find the semester system attractive, it may be an important issue for enrollment management," added Camenisch.Possible recession may affect DePaul ted by the economy. According to Ken McHugh, Vice President of Business and Finance, "the university has to be watchful for a slowdown in the economy. If the school is impacted by a recession, we will take action to slow down work on the master plan." When asked to expand on that comment, McHugh stated that none of the projects now in operation, such as the new library, and the advancement of the Goldblatts building will be effected. McHugh optimistic But, McHugh remains optimistic. "Higher education usually does well during a recession because traditionally people go back to school to improve their qualifications to get ahead in the job market," commented McHugh. News Analysis However, Berman stated that even though all universities will be hit with a crunch if the economy does indeed hit a recession, they do not see it as affecting major gifts. "Major corporate gifts most likely will not be affected," said Berman. It will also be necessary for the university to key on those individuals in the upper-income brackets who normally give large monatary gifts to the university, in order to compensate for those who will be hit harder by the recession. "Eventually we may to rely more heavily on those in the upper-income levels. They may possibly have to step up their giving," commented Berman. Ted Tolcher, Director of Planned Giving likewise remains optimistic about gifts to the university that have been in the works for some time. "We are excited about what is going on in planned giving," said Tolcher. "We had people holding out on property gifts, all gifts that would be affected by a change in the capital gains tax laws. They were waiting to see what Congress would be doing with that tax. But now that the new budget will not affect it, their plans will be more solidified. It will now be time for them to make a decision," added Tolcher. Students not affected According to McHugh, one item that can be promised is that "scholarships would be the last area affected" by a drastic swing in the economy.

The charge that Donald Trump has effectively allied his campaign with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin would sound like a crackpot conspiracy theory if it didn't come from Trump's own mouth.
On Wednesday, Trump publicly called on Russian intelligence agents to hack Hillary Clinton's emails and release the results, a direct appeal to a foreign power to commit espionage that came as Trump faced increased scrutiny over his ties to Putin.
"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," Trump said at a press conference in Florida. "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let's see if that happens."
In addition to its implications for national security today, the incident raised disturbing questions about how Trump would govern as president. If a leader is willing to turn to ask foreign spy agencies to target a political opponent, what would he ask of from his own spy agencies?
Russia has been widely blamed by experts for hacking the Democratic National Committee's emails. The release of some of those by WikiLeaks prompted DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to resign this week just one day before her party's national convention began. FBI Director James Comey has said it's unclear if Clinton's private email server, which Trump referred to in his remarks, has been hacked.
Trump has set fire to a long list of political norms during his presidential run, but until now it was hard to envision a nominee openly asking an authoritarian government to sabotage the other party by stealing the emails of a onetime secretary of state.
Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, contradicted Trump before the press conference even ended in a statement that promised "consequences" for Russia if they engaged in hacking, but it was unclear whether he was trying to clean up Trump's remarks or run from the fallout.
None of these statements bore much relationship to Trump's actual comments, which were extensive and clear.
"If Russia or China or any other country has those e-mails, I mean, to be honest with you, I'd love to see them," he said.
Later, Trump tweeted that "Russia or any other country or person" should hand the FBI any emails Clinton deleted from her server.
And, in case Trump's pleas to Russia were not obvious enough, he told a reporter he would not warn Putin against influencing the American election.
"I'm not going to tell Putin what to do — why should I tell Putin what to do?" Trump said.
Trump, who once called on Robert Pattinson to break up with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, is not exactly known for holding back his thoughts on what others should do.
But it's not a coincidence that he made an exception for Putin. Trump, more than any major politician in either party, has indicated a desire to shift U.S. policy toward Russian interests while consistently praising Putin as a strong and effective leader.
At his press conference on Wednesday, Trump told a reporter that he would consider recognizing Russia's annexation of Crimea from the Ukraine — something only a handful of countries currently do — and that he may end American sanctions enacted in response. Last week, the RNC changed its platform to weaken language criticizing Russia's Ukraine intervention and Trump's top aide Paul Manafort previously lobbied for a pro-Putin Ukrainian leader.
Trump also stood by his repeated threats to abandon NATO allies threatened by Russian aggression if they don't agree to pay more for American defense.
"I don't think Putin has any respect whatsoever for Clinton," Trump said. "I think he does respect me. And I hope I get along great with him. "
Trump oddly claimed that he "never met Putin" – he previously said at a Republican debate he "got to know [Putin] very well" in a green room meeting – and gently chastised him over a report the Russian leader used the "n-word." But he also said Putin has "much better leadership qualities" than President Obama.
In addition, to Trump's apparent affection for Putin and Putin's agenda, the candidate has dodged questions in recent days about his own financial ties to Russia. He said he has "nothing to do" with Russia and his campaign has says he has no investments in Russia, but he has yet to rebut reports — including a 2008 article quoting his own son — that his own business is dependent on Russian investments and loans. He also has stood by his refusal to release his tax returns or other documents that might shed light on the matter.
The best thing Trump has going for him right now is that the ongoing story of a major party nominee who has unclear financial ties to Russia, significant alignment with Russian policy, and effectively encourages Russian cyberattacks, sounds so absurd that voters may find it hard to believe.
Indeed, Clinton campaign sounded concerned about this dynamic in their response.
"This has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent," Clinton spokesman Jake Sullivan said in a statement. "That's not hyperbole, that's just the facts. This has gone from being a matter of curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security issue."
But the question isn't whether Republican leaders oppose Russian spying — until today, it was assumed every politician in America did — it's whether they stand by a nominee who contradicts everything they've said about national security for decades. Their answers this week could follow them long after the election ends.

Q: SQL Server: combine multiple counts in one select I am pretty new to SQL and am looking for help with the following:
I would like to count the number of items in column "esc" for the current + the previous 5 months and would like to have this done in one query.
All I need is the number for each of this 6 months.
My SP (not working):
SELECT
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Log_Esc WHERE CONVERT(DATE, dateEsc, 120) >= CONVERT(DATE, CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), GETDATE(), 112) + '01', 112)),
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Log_Esc WHERE CONVERT(DATE, dateEsc, 120) >= CONVERT(DATE, CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), DATEADD(month, -1, GETDATE()), 112) + '01', 112)),
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Log_Esc WHERE CONVERT(DATE, dateEsc, 120) >= CONVERT(DATE, CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), DATEADD(month, -2, GETDATE()), 112) + '01', 112)),
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Log_Esc WHERE CONVERT(DATE, dateEsc, 120) >= CONVERT(DATE, CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), DATEADD(month, -3, GETDATE()), 112) + '01', 112)),
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Log_Esc WHERE CONVERT(DATE, dateEsc, 120) >= CONVERT(DATE, CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), DATEADD(month, -4, GETDATE()), 112) + '01', 112)),
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Log_Esc WHERE CONVERT(DATE, dateEsc, 120) >= CONVERT(DATE, CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), DATEADD(month, -5, GETDATE()), 112) + '01', 112))
FROM Log_Esc
FOR XML PATH('total'), ROOT('ranks')

Can someone tell me how I have to change this to get it working ?
Many thanks for any help with this, Mike

A: Two dates can be compared. GETDATE() returns a datetime object.
Just do your convertion on dateesc to a date or datetime type.
Also, don't forget to give alias to your columns.

Q: AWS Lambda connect via PG.js to RDS Postgres database (connection made, no timeout, but no database?) I have my lambda function is trying to connect to an RDS PostGreSQL DB. Since I use https://serverless.com/ to deploy the function (sets up my cloudfront) it puts the LF in a separate VPC from the RDS DB.
Not a big issue. If you read: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/services-rds-tutorial.html
you see you can setup the serverless.yml file (as below) with the subnet, and security Group IDs, and then give a role to the Lambda Function that has AWSLambdaVPCAccessExecutionRole (I gave it full for the VPC and for Lambda). If you don't do this you will get a ECONNREFUESED.
But even after doing this I get an 3D00 error, which says that the db with name "ysgdb" is not found. But in RDS I see it is there and is public.
The code works fine when the DB is set to a local PostGreSQL.
Any ideas where to go next?

A: I found the answer. While it shows my stupidity, I wanted to post it here in case others have the same issue.
When I created the RDS (custom) PostGreSQL I specified I database name. Little did I know that about 20 fields down in the form, there is a second location you specify the dbname. If you do not, it says it does not create the db and assigns no name (the console shows "-" as the name.
The first name is for the first part of the endpoint. The second time you specify the name is for the database itself.
I am using the PostGreSQL for the security/login when I setup the RDS.
Hope this helps someone.

Chris Cornell is a true American rock star. He's had major success as lead singer of grunge-era bands Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog, of modern-rock group Audioslave, and also as a solo artist.
As with many career musicians, Cornell's music is bound to evolve. His latest solo album, "Scream," has certainly taken a sharp turn, one that might worry some hard-rock fans.
Cornell teamed up with hip-hop producer Timbaland, creating a less organic and less rock and roll sound than his previous efforts. Instead, "Scream," his third solo album, leans toward electronic dance music. He even brought in former boy-band member Justin Timberlake to co-write and sing back-up on the track "Take Me Alive."
"I just thought that would be an interesting thing to do, different than anything else I've ever done," Cornell says. The singer says he likes the "trippiness" of hip-hop music, which makes sense to him because as a kid he listened to a lot of '70s stoner-rock music.
So far, the album has gotten lukewarm reviews from SPIN, Rolling Stone and Billboard, but "Scream" still debuted at No. 10, on the U.S. charts, making it Cornell's first Top 10 solo album. The following week, however, it dropped to No. 65, which is the first time in more than two years that a Top 10 album has dropped that far in its second week.
Whether you are into Cornell's new sound or not, his live show still will be mostly rock-based -- newer songs will be played with the traditional guitar-bass-drums band setup.
"We approached it by playing the (new) songs as a rock band ... even though we'll have a keyboard player," Cornell says. "They basically transform into rock songs but rhythmically, and to some degree sonically, they're still different and stay true to the record."
Here we go Bruins! Here we go!

Let's talk about your digital marketing data. At RevLocal, our strategies are data-driven, and we spend a lot of time working with our clients' analytics.
We set up Google Analytics for clients and watch the trends form. We use our marketing analytics platform, Reveal, to watch the numbers grow from month to month, and we feel successful.
But what happens when the numbers stop growing? Even worse, what happens if all those good trends start to go bad and you begin seeing negative trends in your analytics?
Negative digital marketing data often reflects poor sales, a drop in website traffic or a lack of social media interaction, but it isn't the end of the world.
Let's look at three easy and proven tips for dealing with negative analytics trends.
Change the way you think about bad data.
Sure, negative data is discouraging. But don't think of it as something you have no control over.
Bad data is a signal that something needs to improve, so you should think of your negative data trends as a chance to come back even better than you were before.
In your quest to improve your marketing performance, you may find that you turn that negative data into positive performance (and profit).
But, you could also find that your tweaks have improved your digital marketing performance and made it even better than it was before your analytics graphs took a nosedive.
This takes us to step two.
Now that we know we have an opportunity to improve, we need to figure out where that opportunity is.
When you've experienced solid marketing performance for a long period of time followed by a sudden downturn, odds are something has changed somewhere.
So, what changed? Did you make changes to your website, such as moving primary links or buttons? You could move them back and see if this improves your performance.
If you haven't changed anything, has something changed in the market?
Has a new way of doing things come along that you haven't caught up with yet? Maybe you aren't as active on social media as you were.
It can take time to identify what the right opportunity is, but you need to be proactive about finding it.
So don't hesitate! As soon as you see downward trends in your data, it's time to start looking critically at your entire digital presence to figure out what's caused this decline in performance. Only then can you begin to make changes.
A couple of steps you could take here include making sure your local marketing strategy is up-to-date and making sure your information on Google, Bing, Facebook and Yelp is correct.
Think about the different types of marketing your business uses to drive website traffic, leads and sales as well as which tends to be the most profitable. Is it email marketing? Social media? Local search marketing?
Did you stop using that channel? Has it become less effective? Analyze your data to find the culprit so that you can begin to make changes.
It's probably going to take time to locate the right opportunity to fix your performance issues.
However, that doesn't mean you should sit around, waiting. If you're lucky, you might realize that you made one major change recently, and when you reverse it, everything is fine again.
In the meantime, you can track offline conversions to see how your online marketing affects your offline sales.
Most of the time, though, you'll have to improve your marketing performance with a little trial and error. Brainstorm a list of the possible changes that could be affecting your performance data.
List the changes in order of importance, and fix them one at a time.
After you fix one, give it a couple of weeks and watch your data. If your numbers improve, maybe you've found the culprit of your data downturn.
If not, move on to number two and watch it. Repeat that process as many times as you need to until you find and fix the issue.
Remember, you aren't at the mercy of your data. You are in control and you can have a meaningful impact on the performance of your digital marketing efforts.
As long as we don't sit idly by, we will be successful. Good luck!

of the union address. nbc white house correspondent kristen welker is at the white house for us today. hey, kristen. the big themes today are the economic ones. >> reporter: that's absolutely right. and when president obama takes the podium at that steel plant in pittsburgh, he's going to announce something called my r.a., andrea. the idea is that it's a federally backed retirement savings program. so american workers who are employed by companies that don't provide retirement savings will be able to start saving through this program. they can put as little as $25 per month in this program. and the goal is to make it safe. that's why it's backed by the federal government. according to a 2009 brookings institution report, more than half of all american workers are employed by companies that don't offer these types of programs. this is another executive action, andrea. this comes on the heels of the president stopping at costco in the suburbs of maryland earlier today where he talked about his second executive action, which would increase the minimum wage for federal contractors.

Bob Marley Died of Cancer 40 Years Ago – Inside the Reggae Legend's Sad and Lonely Final Days
By Jaimie-lee Prince
https://news.amomama.com/213348-inside-bob-marleys-sad-lonely-final-days.html
Bob Marley's legacy is all about his music. Gone too soon, the artist's final months were allegedly his most quiet based on Howard Bloom's latest book about Marley and several others.
Howard Bloom wasn't just a press agent. He was a down-to-earth, miracle worker for the stars of his time. Considering the battles that a lot of celebrities go through, it's no surprise Bloom has a lot of stories to tell.
He's collected a few of them in his new book, "Einstein, Michael Jackson & Me: A Search for Soul in the Power Pits of Rock and Roll." Bloom's ability to turn people's lives around was amazing.
BLOOM SAVES BILLY IDOL
According to the New York Post, Bloom was well-liked among the stars in the 1980s. But it wasn't just because of his excellent listening skills and strategic mind.
For people like Billy Idol, Bloom didn't look through rose-colored glasses. Regarding the singer's drug addiction, he told his parents: "Your son is killing himself, and we have to do something about it."
Bloom added that he doesn't care about the money as opposed to helping out another human being. With some effort and a change of management, the family and Bloom changed Idol's life around.
MIDDLER AND MARLEY'S CASES
Bloom also made a drastic change in Bette Middler, who he found dressed like a bag lady when he first met her in her dressing room. Bloom concocted a unique public relations plan that transformed her.
Unfortunately, Bloom could only do so much for the stars. When Bob Marley got cancer in 1980, the agent helped him survive for eight months, during which the Jamaican artist was at a secret clinic in Switzerland.
Marley didn't want the public to know of his illness, so Bloom would feed the media lies about the singer's location and hide his medical struggle. He eventually stopped for the worst reason fathomable.
MARLEY'S DEATH AND TRIBUTE
"I got a call from a woman who told me that Bob doesn't need me anymore. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. It meant that Bob had given up on living," Bloom stated.
The singer died a mere two weeks later on May 11, 1981. In 2001, Marley received the post-mortem Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. His album, "Legend," was only the 17th to exceed sales of 10 million copies.
In 2006, officials renamed Church Avenue in Brooklyn, where many of the city's Caribbean residents reside, to Bob Marley Boulevard. The artist also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

HIS LEGACY AND SON ZIGGY
Marley's rise to fame had humble beginnings. He grew up in Trench Town, one of Jamaica's poorest neighborhoods, with his mother. Early on, Marley developed a love for music.

He would later marry wife Rita, with whom he shared three children. Among them is Ziggy, who, like many of his siblings, became a musician like his father.
Last November, Ziggy used his fame to raise money for charity. He and his large family did a photoshoot with UGG, in which $50,000 of the proceeds went to two organizations close to Ziggy's heart.
The artist said he was instilled with a duty to give back from his parents. Ziggy is married to a woman named Orly, with whom he shares seven beautiful children.

If you had a "million dollars" what kind of a car would you build. More realistically, if you could have anything you wanted, what would you do? I am speaking of a replica that we all dream about. What options would it have? What engine?
I mean if you wanted the ultimate Chariot of Fire, what would you do? And why?
No, that will have to be later. We are going to miss you this year Robert!
No, this one is a KMS 427/SC. But what would you do to actually improve the car?
You are kind! Thanks! We do try to make the car as nice as possible. We have certainly learned a lot over the years on how to make things--espeically from billet.
There comes a point where you simply can't improve upon what is there any further and you have to throw the baby out with the bath water...you need to start over with a clean sheet of paper.
Once in a lifetime, your world is turned upside down when a customer calls and asks you to make the car of YOUR dreams for him.
I would start with a KMS 427 and build it to original comp dry sump specification. The car would use tubular steel suspension and use all the OEM Shelby details, new magnesium Halibrand wheels, all along with one slight change a KMS SS frame for years of service. The only other major deviation I would make uses the most up to date aluminum block FE available with all the best appointments money could buy. Of course the original paint scheme Rangoon Red! With every detail covered right down to the correct rear view mirror and optional 60's angle iron supports on the a-arms. So close it could even fool Ron R.
I would hope that after that I would have enough left over to talk you into making a custom replica of the Ferrari 250LM in aluminum. Of course this car would incorporate all the CNC capabilities of KMS to allow for undercarriage updates to match new exotics while taking advantage of the adjustability of today's engineering. Powered by a replica of the original powerplant in aluminum.... This car in F-Red or course.
A KMS version of an Alan Mann 40 would also be a treat as they were aluminum.

Thank you for saying you'd use a KMS 427! I am proud of our cars and I am thrilled our customers are happy.
I know what you mean that you can't sleep. This project has kept me awake for many, many nights. Tonight will be another one of those nights.
After our lesson on "Whats in the background of the picture" can I post some more?
Since we had the lesson on "Whats in the back ground of parts pictures", can I post some more?

I can see Joe is sneaking in posts as I run back to check on the new hubs coming off the mill.
Finish one to exact original specs with the patina of a well used race car. Worn leather on the seats. Dings and dents in the aluminum. Dull cracked paint.
I was thinking something more along the lines of...well, billet everything.
Man, I love Penske shocks!

Hey Lew...that is still attorney client stuff! Well, at least it is for a couple more minutes!


In less than two weeks, we will all be ringing in 2018! And with every new year, I like to set new goals and resolutions to start off right! I am going to share my New Year's resolution and how I am going to stay on top of it.
My resolution for 2018 is to work on is channeling my passion for the Chiefs in a more positive manner!
1. I am vowing not to throw things and yell at the TV when the Chiefs lose.
2. I am going to go to the gym to work off my aggression when the Chiefs lose.
3. I will try and be more sensitive to opposing fans and Fangirls when the Chiefs beat them, like the last 2 weeks against the Raiders and Chargers Fangirls. I only have love for you girls!
4. I will not sell my tickets on Stubhub when we lose a game at Arrowhead that we shouldn't have lost. For example, when we lost to the Bills.
It's tough to stick to a new plan, so I need to make sure that I actually do these things. I've found that setting calendar reminders for things that I want to do works very well for me, and forces me to make time. Having a friend to hold you accountable is also very helpful, and you can do the same in return! Good luck, Chiefs Kingdom, on meeting and exceeding your resolutions in 2018!

This work presents the development of a full body sensor-based motion tracking system that functions through wearable inertial sensors. The system is comprised of a total of ten wearable sensors and maps the player's motions to an on-screen character in real-time. A hierarchical skeletal model was implemented that allows players to navigate and interact with the virtual world without the need of a hand-held controller. To demonstrate the capabilities of the system, a simple virtual reality game was created. As a wearable system, the ability for the users to engage in activities while not being tied to a camera system, or being forced indoors presents a significant opportunity for mobile entertainment, augmented reality and interactive systems that use the body as a significant form of input. This paper outlines the key developments necessary to implement such a system.

Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), the national entity for development aid, has announced an allocation of AED64.2 million ($17.4 million) for the development of two renewable energy projects in the Republic of Seychelles.
The first agreement includes the allocation of AED31.2 million towards a solar farm that will be developed by Masdar in the island of Romainville, while the second agreement involves an investment of AED33 million for the installation of a 33kV power grid in the island of Mahé.
Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, director general of ADFD, said: "Since 1979, ADFD has shared outstanding relations with the government of the Seychelles. We have successfully financed development projects to the tune of AED399 million across various regions in the country.
"Our latest initiative to fund two high-potential projects in the Seychelles validates our sustained efforts to promote the widespread adoption of renewable energy in developing countries. The funding also reiterates ADFD's commitment to supporting the efforts of the government of the Seychelles in meeting the country's energy needs from sustainable resources."
Didier Dogley, Minister of Environment, Energy and Climate Change of the Seychelles, added: "The two agreements we signed today will contribute to the development of the energy sector and meeting the increasing demand for electricity in the Seychelles.
"The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development has become one of the most important international funding organisations for its significant contribution to achieving sustainable development on a global scale."
The solar farm project in Rumenville island is financed as part of the fourth funding cycle of IRENA/ADFD Project Facility launched in 2013. The 5MW project is expected to benefit nearly 90,000 people.
The 33kV power grid project in the island of Mahé will oversee the installation of a 12.5km line along with two feed stations to strengthen the transmission and distribution network in the northern areas. The project is set to meet the electricity demand driven by the growth of commercial, residential and tourism establishments on the island.

Don't practice deceit. Giving without consent tends to be hurtful and unproductive. This applies not only to our kids but all our loved ones. They will figure you out and in the end, you aren't doing them any favors. To address resistance, offer them some control in deciding what stays and what goes.
Mutually decide on ground rules prior to decluttering to help ease the process (i.e. if it hasn't been played with in over six months, thank it and send it on its way; if it has sentimental value, keep it with confidence, etc.).
Break the job into smaller tasks, focusing on one space or category at a time so they don't get overwhelmed. Consider using timers for an added motivator and visual to keep them on track.
Do practice gratitude. The number one way to do this is to lead by example. We live in a throw-away culture, where items can be easily replaced with as little as a few clicks. If we treat our items with little regard, our children will do the same. If we find it hard to rid ourselves of excess, our kids will too. I remember once complaining to my son about his (what I thought to be) out of control toy situation. He recanted with, "What about all your clothes? You don't wear all those!" He had me. I owned it and agreed to thinning out my closet if he did his toys as well.
Don't forget to express yourself. Verbalize how thankful you are through self-talk when you receive gifts or even the necessities that we often take for granted. When purging, I make sure to highlight how the item could be better put to use by someone else and emphasize how much another person will appreciate it.
My message is clear: If we aren't showing our possessions the love they deserve, we are essentially depriving others of potential joy. Remember, your kids are listening and they will follow suit. It has taken a lot of time and patience, but my son now freely offers up toys to other children. It warms my heart when I hear him say, "Another kid would probably like playing with this." I know I'm doing something right!
Lastly, spread some good tidings. I don't know about you, but I want my child to know that the world is much bigger than us – that people out there are suffering, and we can do something about it. The last couple of years we focused our giving efforts on donating personal care items and clothing to benefit at-risk LGBTQ youth through the Grand Rapids Pride Center's Safe & Supported At Risk Youth Initiative.
Choose a cause that speaks to your kids and let them help with the shopping. This can make giving fun!

Morris to join Knicks as Spurs move on
Is former Jayhawk Marcus Morris headed to the Knicks? | Tale of the Tait
Sidney Guerrero | 14 July, 2019, 05:53
On Thursday, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that Morris had reached agreement with the Knicks on a one-year, $15 million contract, which represents 75 percent of what he could have earned in two seasons with the Spurs. But following a reworking of Reggie Bullock's new Knicks contract, Morris reportedly has made a decision to spurn the Spurs and take a one-year, $15 million contract in NY.
The Knicks are adding Morris to their free agent haul that also includes Julius Randle, Bobby Portis, Taj Gibson, Elfrid Payton and Wayne Ellington. "This is no knock on the Spurs".
The Spurs pulled their offer to Morris and agreed to a deal with free agent Trey Lyles, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Both of them are nominal power forwards that are able to stretch the floor and have some switchability on defense, but Morris was certainly the more talented option of the two. That said, there is only one ball and two guys who want to dominate it. Mike D'Antoni, in a lame-duck year, has some work to do to get everyone to sacrifice a little. San Antonio is obviously hoping to see improvement from Lyles.
The 14th overall puck of the 2011 NBA Draft out of Kansas by the Houston Rockets, Morris has career marks of 11.5 points, 4.6 bards and 1.5 assists in 26.5 minutes in 545 games (292 starts), along with a shooting line of 43.1/36.0/74.7 in eight NBA seasons.
NY is still optimistic it will add Bullock, according to a report from SNY.
The Knicks will use the last of their cap space to bring Morris aboard but will still have a room exception to offer Reggie Bullock.
The former college basketball star came off the bench for the Nuggets last season.
