First there was Pizza Rat. Then there was Milkshake Squirrel.
New Yorkers, whether they're human or rodent, love a good snack. While it's totally possible this little squirrel loves to get a slice like his rat friends, he also has a sweet tooth. Nothing satisfies a sweet tooth like a chocolate shake from Shake Shack in Madison Square Park.


A lively vision is the hallmark of this faith community and has been since its birth. Back in 1954, 225 people chartered themselves a vision of what Trinity Lutheran Church could be.
Their passion for the ministry of all believers, coupled with the guidance of founding pastor Luther Borgen, launched the vision embracing Bible study and generosity to others. By the leading of the Spirit, the vision called for ever-expanding facilities to accommodate growth. And by the gifts of faithful and committed members and gifted, competent ministry leaders the vision continues to draw us forth into the future.
Today, blessed richly by the heritage of 50 years and entering into a bright and engaging future, we again ask the question: What is God's vision for Trinity Lutheran Church? We've summed it up as, "Serving in Christ's Love and sharing the good news." People have a desperate need to know Christ's love. Our calling is to help people connect with the grace of God through involvement with our loving God in worship, service, mission, and fun.
Our mission of serving in the ways of Christ makes a difference in the life of people and communities. We invite you to visit our congregation in person.


Welcome to our inaugural newsletter, The SOAR Report. To SOAR means to ascend to new heights of performance and this newsletter is all about how to SOAR. One of the things our clients enjoy most is learning how we are driving results with other companies. In fact, just last week we had a call with a client that completed a first phase deployment of a value-creation focused customer engagement approach. The results were terrific to hear with over $1.5 million in new opportunities generated in just 60 days. The real change that we saw was in the conversation, with a shift in focus to customer value creation. This example and many others like it are results-driven changes in the market place we want to share with you. We have been privileged to work with thousands of sales leaders across the globe and have had the opportunity to learn through these unique experiences.
What would a 10% increase in new account revenue mean to your business? How about 20%? Imagine that for a moment. You're probably thinking about the great sales rewards trip to Hawaii or the organizational awards you might receive and certainly the big bonus check that could result from such a jump. It turns out that you aren't the only sales executive focused on acquiring new accounts.
In today's business environment, change is a constant that cannot be escaped. Changing customer preferences are putting pressure on all businesses to adopt new strategies and execute them seamlessly. Increasing competition is a constant as industries adapt to a "new normal" that requires faster time to market for new products and services, new ways to connect with customers in an increasingly social world and the ability to respond to threats from new competitors in the market. The right strategy with the right people to execute the strategy is paramount in a rapidly changing business environment.

Collaboration, Modernity and Colonial Rule: Sidiyya Baba and Mauritania
By David Robinson
The Geographical and Social Setting
Gum Harvesting in the Senegal Valley
Sidiyya Baba lived his entire life in the area called Trarza, which constitutes the southwestern corner of Mauritania. It is an area of steppe and desert, the beginning of the Sahara. The western border is sharply defined, by the Atlantic Ocean and its resources of fish. The southern is equally sharply drawn, at the Senegal River and the cultivable land which produced grain and animals. The south also had stands of acacia trees harvested for their gum, which was exported for its pharmaceutical and industrial uses. Much of this production was performed by slaves or harratin, darker skinned families whose origins lay to the south in "black" Africa. We have included an artist's portrayal of the harsh labor of collecting the globules of gum.
Alongside the harratin lived free black families with their own farms and herds.
To the east Trarza gave way to another region called Brakna. To the north lay the area known as the Adrar. These boundaries were not sharp, but marked by certain wells, oases and routes through the desert. The inhabitants spoke a dialect of Arabic called Hassaniyya, and called themselves the bidan, the "whites," in contrast to the sudan, the inferior "blacks" who lived to the south. The bidan stayed mainly in nomadic tent camps, occasionally in
Salt Caravan
more permanent villages. They raised dates in the oases as well as camels, who were used for transport, raiding, and carrying salt blocks from mines to consumers north and south. The salt trade, together with fishing, agro-pastoral production and gum, constituted the main economic activities of the area. Water was obviously a key resource, and groups fought to control wells and access to them. The men were the most visible actors in the society, but the women engaged in their own activities outside of the home, as in the case of these musicians.
Women Musicians, Butilimit
These pursuits were dominated by the upper classes - politically, the emiral families who sought to reign over Trarza, and economically, the merchants who ran the caravans. These dominating classes corresponded to a social division among the bidan. The political specialists were "warriors" or hassan, equipped with firearms and trained in protection and ambush. The economic leaders were the "clerics" or zwaya, who in addition to their commercial functions were also the religious specialists, scholars and imams of Islam who went by the name of "marabouts" in local parlance. In fact the tribes of Trarza and other parts of Mauritania were labeled hassan and zwaya, but the division of labor between the two groups was not so sharp as the stereotypes suggested - all were concerned with firearms and their own protection, and all were involved in production and trade.

Expungement – Do I Qualify?
Unopposed divorce – What is the process?
Making the decision to get a divorce is probably one of the hardest decisions that a person can make. The second hardest decision is probably selecting the divorce attorney that you will use to oversee and facilitate the divorce process on your behalf.
As a divorce is already an extremely emotional and sensitive time, a divorce attorney who is also sensitive and reasonable should be selected, however you should ensure that the divorce attorney can be aggressive and strong during negotiations (if this approach is required). A divorce lawyer who is unreasonable and aggressive from the beginning will only inflame the situation and aggravate matters in circumstances where settlement may have been a possibility had the attorney been slightly more collegial with his or her opponent.
As the divorce lawyer that you select may be a part of your life for anything from a few months to a few years (in extreme cases), you must ensure that you are comfortable speaking to them and confiding in them and you must also be confident that you are on the same page in terms of strategy and desired outcome regarding the divorce. A divorce attorney who has his or her own agenda such as making a "quick buck" or boosting her or her reputation will never be able to have your best interests at heart.
Would I prefer a divorce attorney who is the same gender as me or as my spouse or does this not matter?
Would I require a divorce attorney who is available constantly via email, mobile or text message or are face-to-face meetings more important to me?
Do I want the security of selecting a larger firm (although turnaround times may be slightly longer) or do I want quick and personalised service from perhaps a smaller, less established firm?
How many years' experience should my divorce attorney have for me to feel comfortable using them or does this not matter?
How expensive is this divorce attorney and what am I willing to pay to secure the result that I want?
Selecting a divorce attorney can be a daunting task, however SDF Attorneys strive to make you feel comfortable with us and confident in your decision to use our divorce attorney as your legal professional. We understand and appreciate what a difficult decision it is and we strive to assure you that you have made the correct choice by choosing us.
If you would like to discuss your divorce, whether ongoing or only starting, with our divorce attorney, please visit our Contact Us page and give us a call. We always look forward to hearing from you.

New floats for small boats
A bubble curtain is activated in Esquimalt Harbour just prior to a marine blast on Sept. 13. The work is being done to make way for a new small boats jetty in Dockyard.
Construction of three small boat jetties located near the southeastern end of Esquimalt Harbour in dockyard is entering its fourth and final phase.
Once completed in 2021, the small boat floats will be the berthing place for the eight Orca-class vessels of the Patrol Craft Training Unit, and tugboats and auxiliary vessels operated by the Queen's Harbour Master (QHM).
The jetties, ranging in length of 156 to 162 metres, will be built on the shoreline of Constance Cove, with one jetty being near the Hood Building and the other two north of that.
The design-bid-build project is being overseen by Defence Construction Canada (DCC).
"We are excited to see this project approaching its final stages," said Angie Zemanek, Coordinator, Professional Services Contracts with DCC. "Once completed, it will provide the defence community with modernized and expanded infrastructure to accommodate the needs of the current and future fleet of the small vessels of the Royal Canadian Navy."
The construction of this fourth phase is being done by Pomerleau Inc .
The jetty project has been in the works since 2005 which coincided with the construction period of the Orca vessels.
Currently, the Orcas are berthed near D Jetty on the Colwood-side of the base. QHM vessels reside at the current ML floats in the waters adjacent to Transport Road near Fleet Maintenance Facility (FMF) Cape Breton. When the project is complete, they will make a short 500 metre move to the northeast to the new jetties.
Preparation for the project started in 2017 with dredging of the basin, also part of the Harbour Remediation Project.
The second phase was construction of two of three float modules. That work was completed by dock builders Blue Water Systems Inc. of Vancouver. The modules were towed to their temporary storage location at Colwood's D Jetty by tugboat. The third jetty will consist of modules already constructed and in use by the Orcas at D jetty.
Phase three was completed in 2018 with the installation of abutment structures in Constance Cove that will allow for ramps to the jetties and trestles to the shore. A concrete walkway at the rear of the Hood Building was widened in anticipation of foot traffic to the new floats.
Before the final assembly of the jetty modules, approximately 13,000 cubic metres of submerged rock in the vicinity of Village Rocks must be blasted away. Dynamite is used to achieve the required depth of 7.0 metres Chart Datum. Crews have already completed 14 blasts but have paused due to Department of Oceans and Fisheries environmental regulations. Between Oct. 1 and Dec. 1 each year, blasting in the harbour must stop to protect marine life and their seasonal migration patterns.
"Members of the construction project have notified defence team members in the immediate proximity that marine blasting operations will resume on Dec. 1," said Zemanek.
The final phase will be completed once the floats are assembled and land work such as landscaping, drainage, and paving are concluded.

SPFL Press Release
Clubs engage with more than 770,000 local people through community programmes, an increase of 60,000 on the previous year's total.
Clubs engage with more than 770,000 local people through community programmes, an increase of 60,000 on the previous year's total.
As the BBC publishes the results from its latest annual Price of Football survey, the SPFL's own independent research has once again highlighted the prominence of its clubs within their communities, with more than three quarters of a million people now benefiting from club initiatives.
The feedback – from all 42 clubs who took part in both surveys - is wholly encouraging, with community and charitable programmes now firmly established as part of the Scottish football fabric.
Supporters are also well looked after, with season ticket holders making significant savings compared to paying at the gate, and many clubs better serving fans' needs through the appointment of Supporters Liaison Officers who act as a bridge between the club and its support.
Among the many encouraging statistics unearthed by the SPFL's independent research are:
- Clubs engaged with approximately 772,000 people via community activity in season 2016/17, many supported by programmes run and organised by the SPFL Trust
- That figure is up more than 60,000 (8.7%) from the previous season's total of 710,000
- Around 86% of all clubs provide free tickets to matches for community groups, charities and other worthy causes, with an estimated total of 84,000 donated last season
- The number of clubs offering free admission to children has risen to 62%, up 5% on last year's figure
- The average maximum saving for supporters across all four divisions buying a 2017/18 season ticket when compared with paying at the gate is £96.20
SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster said: "We have again reached out to our clubs to gather detailed feedback on a number of key areas, including community programmes, free ticket provision and other club-led initiatives.
"The response from all 42 clubs gives us great encouragement that the Scottish game continues to make a lasting and positive impact, not just on supporters but on many other people in the clubs' local communities as well.
"Total attendances for the four Ladbrokes divisions exceeded four million in season 2016/17, a 12% increase year on year, while almost a quarter of a million supporters attended the first two fixture rounds of the 2017/18 season, a new record in the SPFL era.
"Both serve as further evidence that our game continues to go from strength to strength, and our clubs deserve a lot of credit for their efforts in making that happen."
SPFL Trust chief executive Nicky Reid added: "We are delighted to see a further increase in the number of people our clubs are engaging with through community activity, year on year.
"An 8.7% increase to 772,000 reflects what we know in Scotland: that our league is fully committed to being the most community engaged in the world and that our clubs are genuinely trusted to support their communities.
"The recent Responsiball annual report now places the SPFL as the fourth most community-focused league in the world, based on their analysis of the 25 biggest national competitions. A rise of three places year on year, shows that this is an area of significant strength - and opportunity - for Scottish football.
"In the past year, the SPFL Trust and our clubs have been trusted to work on projects funded by the Scottish Government, Big Lottery Fund, Erasmus, Scottish Water, Kinder+Sport, and the SPFL itself amongst others.
"Our Trusted Trophy Tour also visited more than 20 clubs, and demonstrated the power that football has for good across a wide range of projects.
"Trust is hard-earned, and we all take the responsibilities that come with that but we can all be pleased that the direction of travel is extremely positive."
The seventh BBC annual Price of Football study was published on the BBC Sport website from 10pm this evening, after analysing prices at 232 clubs across Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Europe.
In response to the BBC's survey results, SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster added: "This year's BBC Price of Football survey again demonstrates Scottish football remains competitively priced, with the cost of almost two-thirds of all tickets either frozen or reduced year on year.
"All 42 clubs continue to endeavour to make football as affordable as they can for their supporters and we will continue to work closely alongside them to help them achieve that."

The old addage "Time is money friend" does not compute with some people.
Bought a darkmoon Rabbit, the big Yak mount and the Giant Ice Mammoth. Have also donated a big wedge to the guild so everyone's repairs are covered - forever hopefully. Am trying to make the new 85-90 flipping work now. Am buying a lot of stock, and not making many sales. But gonna stick to Phat's law of big numbers post and keep buying. Once I've blown 10k on stock I'll review and see if its worth doing on this server.
So down to 750k but spending 250k in 15 min felt very good.
been getting some big numbers of Herbs in myself the past few days. but have been selling fortune Cards all along they still sell nicely and still with about 120% profit. and dosent take mutch time. have enjoyed reading all your posts and found a lot of ideas to spice up my ows gold making. current at 4,7 million liquid gold and about 300k in mats and going steady up..
would advise to keep the fortune Cards in mind and not leave em thy still sell decent.
The past few days my herb farmer had gone a little crazy and farmed hundreds of stacks of herbs."
You do not farm your own herbs??
Make much less gold farming herbs than I do crafting things from them.
I guess your MFC friend doesn't consider the value of blackfallow ink, when assuming the crafting cost of the cards.
I'd direct the guy to the Consortium, they will teach him right lol.

Considered by many to be the greatest racehorse of all time, Secretariat not only established many long standing records throughout his racing career but transcended the sport to become an American cultural icon. Also known as "Big Red", the charismatic chestnut champion, owned by Penny Chenery's Meadow Stable burst upon the racing scene as a juvenile, decimating his rivals at two to be named the 1972 Horse of the Year. This unprecedented honor served as a prelude for what was to come during the 1973 Tripe Crown. After setting track records winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, the extraordinary colt trained by Lucien Laurin and ridden by jockey Rob Turcotte won the Belmont Stakes by an amazing 31 lengths in world record time, perhaps the single greatest racing performance ever. Secretariat was syndicated for a then record $6 million and retired at the end of 1973 to stand at stud at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky. In a breeding career spanning 16 years he sired several champions, and through his descendants his bloodline continues to impact the racing world today. Secretariat died of laminitis in 1989, but his popularity has continued to grow in the decades since, becoming the most recognizable name in thoroughbred racing and a beloved figure to many generations of fans.

Five uses of 3D printing you've never heard of
It's been hailed as the next great technological innovation, set to revolutionise global manufacturing and transform the way we live. You've probably already heard of 3D-printed body organs and cars, but here are some of the more unusual uses for 3D printing...
By Declan Knittel
Published: 18th April, 2013 at 14:00
3D-printed clothes
Fantasise about wearing tailor made suits or designer dresses? In the future, clothes that most people could only dream of will become available to the masses. You'll be able to design and customise your very own threads, printing them off on your 3D printer for a fraction of the price of a Louis Vuitton outfit.
Here's one I made earlier. Dita Von Teese © Shapeways
Earlier this year, burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese revealed the world's first fully articulated, 3D-printed dress at a fashion shoot in New York, paving the way for future designers to print their own line of clothing.
The gown, designed by Michael Schmidt and Francis Bitonti, was printed by a company called Shapeways. Using industrial-scale 3D printers, Shapeways can create garments that are a perfect fit. Dita's custom-made dress, for example, boasts nearly 3000 articulated joints, not to mention 12,000 Swarovski crystals.
3D-printed homes
Bored of the same old bricks and mortar? Then why not print your own home!
Still waiting on the 3D printed curtains © Universe Architecture
Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars recently revealed his design for the first ever 3D-printed house. The house takes the form of a Möbius strip – a continuous looped surface with only one side. It's the same shape you get if you take a strip of paper, give it a half-twist, and then join up the two ends to form a loop.
The 'Landscape House' is made from printed layers of sand, which are melded together with a chemical binding agent. This creates hollow shells, which can then be filled with fibre-reinforced concrete to give the building extra strength.
By doing away with traditional, manual construction methods, a 3D-printed home could pop up in a smidgen of the time of today's homes, with building sites resembling something out of Star Trek.
3D-printed moon bases
With resources on Earth rapidly running out, scientists are exploring the possibilities of colonising the Moon and other planets in our Solar System. But there are still some big unanswered questions, such as how do you actually go about transporting a habitat to a distant world?
Time old design, high tech engineering © ESA/Foster + Partners
Now, a team of researchers has come up with a solution: print out buildings on-site using the local soil as a printing material. This nifty idea was proposed by Enrico Dini, the inventor of a huge 3D printer called the D-Shape, in partnership with the European Space Agency and the architecture firm Foster + Partners.
To test the process, Dini created a fake lunar soil, mixing it with magnesium oxide to make a base material. His printer constructed a solid 1.5 tonne building block at the rate of two metres an hour, but he estimates that this will increase to 3.5 metres per hour with a next-generation printer. This would allow an entire building to be completed in a week.
3D-printed sweets
If you're short of gift ideas for that special someone this year, you could do worse than a gummy effigy of yourself. After all, nothing says romance like an edible sculpture of your beau.
3D printed gummi man rocking some Fortnite-inspired dance moves © Fabcafe
A recent workshop at FabCafe in Tokyo, Japan used 3D printing technology to create custom-made sweets. Participants first stood in a 3D scanner to have their body mapped, and then a 3D printer created a detailed silicone model of their likeness. This was in turn used to make a mould, with the end result being a very tasty mini-me.
The choice of sweets isn't just limited to gummy goodness either – FabCafe also lets its customers make chocolate doppelgängers for their sweet-toothed sweethearts.
3D printing vending machine
Do you have some 3D printing ideas of your own? If so, you might be interested in 'The Dreambox' – a 3D printing vending machine that's capable of creating a seemingly endless selection of objects.
Built by students at the University of California, Berkeley, the machine uses spools of colourful plastic to print out its products. These range from preloaded items such as cups and dog tags, to the thousands of objects available on the design-sharing website Thingiverse. Customers can even bring along their own designs for printing.
With print costs ranging from $3 to $15, the only limits are your own imagination; well, that and the 7-by-9-by-5-inch size restraint. In time, perhaps we'll no longer need to send away to China for those awkward replacement parts – all it'll require is a quick trip to the office vending machine.

Electronic states of the pristine and alkali-metal-intercalated monolayer graphite/Ni(111) systems
A. Nagashima*, N. Tejima, C. Oshima
The electronic states of the pristine and alkali-metal-intercalated monolayer graphite (MG)/Ni(111) systems are investigated by using angle-resolved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray-photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electronic structure of the MG is modified largely by hybridization of the π orbitals of the graphite layer with the d orbitals of the substrate. The deposition of alkali-metal atoms onto the graphite overlayer at room temperature results in the penetration of the adsorbates into the interface between the MG and the Ni(111) surface. This intercalation causes the change in the band structure of the system because of the dilation of the MG-Ni interlayer distance. The intercalation of the alkali-metal atoms also shows the broadening of the XPS peak of the C 1s core level of the MG.

Q: how to create a virtual machine in hyper-v server 2008 r2 I've installed server 2008 r2 core and the only installed role is Hyper-V. i want to install a virtual machine like windows xp on server and manage it from windows 7 installed on my laptop. management console installed successfully in windows 7 but i cannot see any option in management console to add virtual machines.

A: In the Hyper-V Manager, right click in the left tree, connect to server, enter the IP or name of the Server you installed. Click on that server in the left tree, in the right pane you'll see the "New" option.

A: In the Hyper-V Manager, the "New" button is in the top right of the pane.  Click it.  Then you'll get choices: virtual machine, hard disk and floppy disk.

A: Server Core has no UI - so you need a Windows 7 machine (or another server) and to set up the management tools on that. Then you can crate the virtual machine there.
Alternatively - use PowerShell to script the creation, but it is a lot less convenient.

Why false news snowballs on social media
Farmer Dell January 5, 2022 Leave a Comment on Why false news snowballs on social media 0 24
by Adam Zewe, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
MIT researchers built a theoretical model to study how news spreads on a Twitter-like social network and found that when a network is highly connected or when the views of its members are sharply polarized, false news will spread wider than news that is seen as more credible.

The spread of misinformation on social media is a pressing societal problem that tech companies and policymakers continue to grapple with, yet those who study this issue still don't have a deep understanding of why and how false news spreads.
To shed some light on this murky topic, researchers at MIT developed a theoretical model of a Twitter-like social network to study how news is shared and explore situations where a non-credible news item will spread more widely than the truth. Agents in the model are driven by a desire to persuade others to take on their point of view: The key assumption in the model is that people bother to share something with their followers if they think it is persuasive and likely to move others closer to their mindset. Otherwise they won't share.
The researchers found that in such a setting, when a network is highly connected or the views of its members are sharply polarized, news that is likely to be false will spread more widely and travel deeper into the network than news with higher credibility.
This theoretical work could inform empirical studies of the relationship between news credibility and the size of its spread, which might help social media companies adapt networks to limit the spread of false information.
"We show that, even if people are rational in how they decide to share the news, this could still lead to the amplification of information with low credibility. With this persuasion motive, no matter how extreme my beliefs are—given that the more extreme they are the more I gain by moving others' opinions—there is always someone who would amplify [the information]," says senior author Ali Jadbabaie, professor and head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and a core faculty member of the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS) and a principal investigator in the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS).
Joining Jadbabaie on the paper are first author Chin-Chia Hsu, a graduate student in the Social and Engineering Systems program in IDSS, and Amir Ajorlou, a LIDS research scientist. The research will be presented this week at the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control.
Pondering persuasion
This research draws on a 2018 study by Sinan Aral, the David Austin Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management; Deb Roy, an associate professor of media arts and sciences at the Media Lab; and former postdoc Soroush Vosoughi (now an assistant professor of computer science at Dartmouth University). Their empirical study of data from Twitter found that false news spreads wider, faster, and deeper than real news.
Jadbabaie and his collaborators wanted to drill down on why this occurs.
They hypothesized that persuasion might be a strong motive for sharing news—perhaps agents in the network want to persuade others to take on their point of view—and decided to build a theoretical model that would let them explore this possibility.
In their model, agents have some prior belief about a policy, and their goal is to persuade followers to move their beliefs closer to the agent's side of the spectrum.
A news item is initially released to a small, random subgroup of agents, which must decide whether to share this news with their followers. An agent weighs the newsworthiness of the item and its credibility, and updates its belief based on how surprising or convincing the news is.
"They will make a cost-benefit analysis to see if, on average, this piece of news will move people closer to what they think or move them away. And we include a nominal cost for sharing. For instance, taking some action, if you are scrolling on social media, you have to stop to do that. Think of that as a cost. Or a reputation cost might come if I share something that is embarrassing. Everyone has this cost, so the more extreme and the more interesting the news is, the more you want to share it," Jadbabaie says.
If the news affirms the agent's perspective and has persuasive power that outweighs the nominal cost, the agent will always share the news. But if an agent thinks the news item is something others may have already seen, the agent is disincentivized to share it.
Since an agent's willingness to share news is a product of its perspective and how persuasive the news is, the more extreme an agent's perspective or the more surprising the news, the more likely the agent will share it.
The researchers used this model to study how information spreads during a news cascade, which is an unbroken sharing chain that rapidly permeates the network.
Connectivity and polarization
The team found that when a network has high connectivity and the news is surprising, the credibility threshold for starting a news cascade is lower. High connectivity means that there are multiple connections between many users in the network.
Likewise, when the network is largely polarized, there are plenty of agents with extreme views who want to share the news item, starting a news cascade. In both these instances, news with low credibility creates the largest cascades.
"For any piece of news, there is a natural network speed limit, a range of connectivity, that facilitates good transmission of information where the size of the cascade is maximized by true news. But if you exceed that speed limit, you will get into situations where inaccurate news or news with low credibility has a larger cascade size," Jadbabaie says.
If the views of users in the network become more diverse, it is less likely that a poorly credible piece of news will spread more widely than the truth.
Jadbabaie and his colleagues designed the agents in the network to behave rationally, so the model would better capture actions real humans might take if they want to persuade others.
"Someone might say that is not why people share, and that is valid. Why people do certain things is a subject of intense debate in cognitive science, social psychology, neuroscience, economics, and political science," he says. "Depending on your assumptions, you end up getting different results. But I feel like this assumption of persuasion being the motive is a natural assumption."
Their model also shows how costs can be manipulated to reduce the spread of false information. Agents make a cost-benefit analysis and won't share news if the cost to do so outweighs the benefit of sharing.
"We don't make any policy prescriptions, but one thing this work suggests is that, perhaps, having some cost associated with sharing news is not a bad idea. The reason you get lots of these cascades is because the cost of sharing the news is actually very low," he says.

We have completely defeated Boko Haram – Army – Royal Times of Nigeria.
The Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj.-Gen. Rogers Nicholas, says the Nigerian Army has completely defeated the Boko Haram insurgents.
Nicholas stated this during the inauguration of the Nigeria-Cameroun Military Joint Mission on Saturday in Maiduguri.
He disclosed that his troops under the operation DEEP PUNCH II had on Friday dislodged and occupied the insurgents' tactical ground "Camp Zairo".
He disclosed that hundreds of insurgents had surrendered and several others fled their enclave while over 100 civilians were rescued.
He said, "My soldiers are in the heart of Boko Haram enclave that is 'Camp Zairo", the gallant troops have taken total control of Sambisa Forest.
"We have broken the heart and soul of Shekau's group, taking over the camp and its environs.
"They are on the run and we are pursuing them to wherever they go. This time around there is no place for escape anywhere.
"We had earlier asked those of them that want to surrender to do so and we are still asking them to come out and surrender otherwise they are going to meet it the hard way".

For the first time in France, the Centre Pompidou presents a major exhibition on contemporary African art with works by more than 100 artists, Africa Remix.
Presented over nearly 2200 square feet of space, it reveals the multiple aspects of African contemporary art and the abundance of its forms and supports. From Cheri Samba's paintings to the installations of Barthélémy Toguo, Yinka Shonibare and Jane Alexander, from the drawings of Frédéric Bruly Bouabré to Ghada Amer's embroidered paintings and the photographs of Guy Tillim, Samuel Fosso, David Goldblatt, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Zwelethu Mthethwa.
Africa Remix offers a global vision of creation across the continent, including a series of films, "Fictions d'Afrique," presented from 25 May to 27 June, as well as a symposium, organized in conjunction with the Musée du Quai Branly, which will take place on Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 June 2005.
Having devoted an exhibition to contemporary Chinese art in 2003, Alors, la Chine, the Centre Pompidou explores the African art scene to assert that: - Africa is not a country. It is a continent. African art illustrates the complexity and multiplicity of the religious, colonial and native influences. - Contemporary African art positions itself, just as contemporary European art does, not just as an esthetic representation but as a historical, political and ideological illustration
Thus, the exhibition brings together artists living in Africa, as well as those scattered around the world, largely for historic reasons. Artists who are originally from Africa remain attached to the continent; Africa is more than a territory, it's an identity.
Africa is both close by and far away, and remains a subject of fascination and fantasy. Africa Remixinvites visitors to reflect upon what Africa is, and to discover this continent in leaving behind common places and the beaten path.
Africa Remixresponds to one of the Centre Pompidou's key missions: international engagement. The first cultural institution to present a non-Western exhibition, the Centre Pompidou opened in 1989 with Les Magiciens de la terre– a pioneering exhibition that is recognized today as the departure point for a new vision of the international artistic scene – one that includes artists from the world over.
The exhibition Africa Remixhas been conceived by an international team led by Simon Njami, head curator, Marie-Laure Bernadac, (Paris), David Elliot (Tokyo), Roger Malbert (London) and Jean-Hubert Martin (Düsseldorf). This exhibition was presented in 2004 at the Museum Kunst Palast in Düsseldorf, and from 10 February to 17 April 2005 it was seen at the Hayward Gallery in London. After its stop at the Centre Pompidou, Africa Remixwill be shown at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo in 2006.


MyHeritage.com -- another scam site?
Qute a few nenbers of the Growden/Growdon family seem to have made names for themselves on the stage, or in musci, and here's a news item that mentions another one — Bryony Growdon. Does anyone know where she fits in the family tree?
Leander Club has a reputation for producing some of the world's best rowers and also possesses scenic dining facilities as an inspiring backdrop. On Thursday, July 22 at 7.30pm Leander hosts original music theatre in the form of The Divine Divas.
Actresses Yvonne Delahaye, Bryony Growdon and Vicky Poole all possess a professional acting pedigree and were thrown together by fate and bring their experience to the roles of jobbing actresses in Matheson Bayley's original musical play Lights, Camera, Resting.
I've found a possible marriage in FreeBMD for Elizabeth Ann Growden (RIN 3976), my great-grandfather's older sister.
They are in the 1871 Census as Kendall, but in the 1881 Census the spelling is Kendle, which appears to be an enumerator's or transcriber's mistake. I could find no trace of them in the 1891 census — perhaps they had moved away, or it hasn't been fully transcribed yet.
My great-grandfather, William Matthew Growden (he later used the spelling Growdon, as did all his South African descendants) came to the Cape Colony in about 1876 to build the railway line from East London to the interior.
At the time of the 1861 Census he was living at 3 Higher Bore Street, Bodmin, aged 10, with his father Matthew, aged 61, his mother Christiana, aged 51, his step-brother Thomas Pope, aged 23, his sister Elizabeth Ann (12), and brothers Mark (7) and Simeon (5).
Higher Bore Street, Bodmin, Cornwall (Photo taken 5 May 2005).
His brother Simeon died a couple of years later at the age of 8, and Mark died at the age of 28, within a few months of his marriage to Elizabeth Dymond. So I didn't expect to find any relatives from that generation, so it was quite exciting to find a possible marriage for great-grand aunt Elizabeth Ann, and they appear to have had four children by the 1881 census, so there are possibly more third cousins just waiting to be discovered!
Not far from Higher Bore Street is Scarlett's Well, where the family lived at the 1851 census, and I can imagine the children playing in these leafy lanes after school, or helping their father gather wood (which, as a woodman, was how he earned his living).
Yesterday I took my son to the Pretoria Showgrounds to write an exam, and while waiting for him I visited the Rebecca Street Cemetery nearby. I didn't see any tombstones belonging to my family, though I did see one for Loftus Versveld, after whom our city's biggest football stadium is named. I had sometimes wondered who Loftus Versveld was, and there was the answer — Robert Owen Loftus Versveld, 1862-1932. In addition to the tombstone, there was a stone from the Northern Transvaal Rugby Board, acknowledging his services to rugby. And Loftus Versveld Stadium is, of course, a bigger and more prominent memorial, the home of the Blue Bulls, the Northern Transvaal Rugby Team.
I wonder what Loftus Versveld would have thought of the World Cup Soccer tournament matches being played there next month. For a long time Loftus Versveld stadium was only used for rugby, and we went to the very first soccer match ever played there, on 12 October 1992, when local team Mamelodi Sundowns played Sheffield Wednesday. Actually that wasn't the first soccer match, because there was a curtain raiser with a women's team from Kaiser Chiefs playing against Sundowns, and the Chiefs won easily. So perhaps history was being made in more senses than one — it may have been the first time women had played in the Loftus Versveld stadium. The main match, between Sundowns and Sheffield Wednesday, was a draw. Just before the big match some people paraded around the field with a banner saying "Snor City welcomes soccer", a reference to the fact that in those days Pretoria civil servants often sported moustaches.
I went up to the highest point of the cemetery, on the northern edge, where there was a memorial garden for cremated ashes. There were some modern ones, with memorial stones in neat rows. And then there was an older rockery, rather pleasant, except that many of the niches had been broken open, and the ashes stolen.
I wondered who would do such a thing, and why.
It doesn't seem to make any sense. What makes cremated ashes valuable to thieves?
1) List your matrilineal line – your mother, her mother, etc. back to the first identifiable mother. Note: this line is how your mitochondrial DNA was passed to you!
2) Tell us if you have had your mitochondrial DNA tested, and if so, which Haplogroup you are in.
3) Post your responses on your own blog post, in Comments to this blog post, or in a Note or status line on Facebook.
Neither of us have had our mitochondrial DNA tested.
At the beginning of the year Val's nephew Greg Machin went to New Zealand, and we told him about some of the Green family relatives living there. Yesterday he met some of them, when he went to have lunch with Denton and Ione Evans in Auckland.
Greg and Ione are third cousins twice removed, their nearest common ancestors being William John Green (1790-1866) and his wife Margaret Gray (1795-1844). The Green family lived in Quebec, but after Margaret died in about 1843 (we think in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but are not certain) William John Green and the surviving younger children came to the Cape Colony. One of the brothers, Henry Green, married Ida von Lilienstein, and is Ione's ancestor, while his younger brother Fred Green was Greg's great great great great grandfather.
We did not know anything about Ione until she was put in touch with us by Colleen Tapscott (another descendant of Henry Green) in January 2006. Ione was researching the von Lilienstein family, and sent a great deal of information on her branch of the family, descended from Henry Green's daughter Edith Susanna Green who married Ernest Borwick and went to Kenya, which was why we had not been able to find them.
Greg went to New Zealand to be closer to his daughter Abby, who went there with her mother Sharon and Sharon's husband about 18 months ago. He works in computer networking, and is hoping to find a job in New Zealand. Ione was born and grew up in Kenya, and after leaving school went to London, where she married Denton Evans (who grew up in the Falkland Islands and later lived in Kenya; his father has written an interesting book about the Falkland Islands). After their marriage Denton and Ione went to New Zealand, and all their children were born there.
This item from an Alaskan newspaper mentions the James W. Growden award.
At the Lathrop Celebration of Excellence awards ceremony Wednesday night, Keegan Severns received the James W. Growden Award, which goes to the top student athlete at the high school.
In recent years, former Lathrop basketball coach Joe Tremarello has made the presentation, including a description of Growden's achievements. Growden was a star Fairbanks athlete in the 1950s who became a coach in Valdez. He died, along with his two sons, in the 1964 earthquake.
I believe there is also a Growden Memorial Park in Alaska, presumably also named after him.
James Wilson Growden was born in 1935, the youngest son of William Nelson Growden. James was my fourth cousin. I believe that his daughter Ronda survived (it was not the earthquake that killed James and his sons, but they had gone down to the harbour to watch the fishing boats land their catches, and were drowned by the resulting tsnunami).
William Nelson Growden was born in Tennessee, and worked in government service in Alaska. He was the son of Arthur Matthew Growden, who was born in Dunedin, New Zealand. Much of this information I got from Monica Louise Deragowski of New Orleans, who was a first cousin of James Wilson Growden, and was very interested in the family history, and corresponded with Growdens all over the world. I've been trying to continue her work, and see if I can find links between all the Growden families, so I'm very interested in news items, like the one above, that mention the Growden family history.

Trying to make the unacceptable acceptable: New books by Dan Fagin and Sarah Vogel illuminate our flawed history of controlling chemical hazards
By egrossman on April 8, 2013.
By Elizabeth Grossman
An anecdote related in Dan Fagin's compelling new book, Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation, that tells the heartbreaking and infuriating history of how chemical industry pollution devastated that New Jersey community, points to one of the biggest flaws in our regulatory system's approach to protecting people from toxics. In 1986, during a public meeting of the Ocean County Board of Health – Ocean County is home to Toms River, where the Ciba chemical company began manufacturing dye chemicals in the 1950s – an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official attempting to explain why Ciba-Geigy would not have to clean up all of the groundwater it had contaminated was interrupted by a community member who said, "What I really think you're trying to do…is make the unacceptable acceptable."
"What you're trying to say," he continued, is "Don't worry about it. There will be one case of cancer in a million, and that person who gets it is someone you don't know. He's not a neighbor. He doesn't have a family. He doesn't have friends. He's just an isolated incident and that's the guy that's going to get poisoned and going to get cancer. But you don't look around the audience and say it could happen to you or to your child."
By then Ciba had, over the course of several decades, dumped millions of gallons of toxic chemical-laden wastewater daily into local ground and surface waters – the same water sources that provided drinking water to Toms River households. The company had also, for decades, been dumping untreated toxic chemical sludge into the community's porous soils. Local landfills and a nearby farm property became the repository for huge numbers of leaky barrels filled with poisonous waste. By the mid-1980s, dozens of Ocean County children had been diagnosed with cancer, including leukemia and brain and nervous system cancers. Many had died.
It had taken years for the community or any outside experts to begin to investigate whether Ciba's toxic waste (making dye chemicals produced far more waste than finished product) might be affecting community members' – or company workers' – health. When the pollution came to light, as it did through a ruptured pipe, stinky tap water and the discovery of illegal waste dumping, Toms River families wanted answers. Those whose children had cancer knew they were on the wrong end of statistics.
Fagin, a prize-winning environmental journalist and New York University journalism professor, expertly tells the story of the search for links between the chemical pollution – which included numerous well known carcinogens – and the Toms River children's cancers. To explain how Ciba-Geigy, a company whose roots go back centuries to the birth of the synthetic chemical dye industry, came to be using such toxic chemicals, and how we have come to understand their toxicity, Fagin deftly weaves into the New Jersey narrative, the history of the dye industry. He also delves into toxicology and epidemiology to explore how we regulate industrial pollution and its effects on public health.
A poster child for regulatory dysfunction
Read Toms River in tandem with another excellent new book, Sarah Vogel's Is It Safe: BPA and the Struggle to Define the Safety of Chemicals, and you come away with a detailed and disheartening understanding of why this system so often fails to adequately protect human health. Vogel, managing director of the Environmental Defense Fund's environmental health program, uses bisphenol A (BPA), the chemical building block of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins used in countless consumer products including food containers and food packaging, as the lens through which to examine why US chemicals policy is struggling to keep up with environmental health science and how it has become dysfunctional when it comes to making decisions about chemical safety.
Scientists have identified BPA as an endocrine disrupting chemical capable of prompting numerous potentially adverse health effects at very low levels of exposure, and researchers have found it in more than 90% of Americans' tested. BPA has also become something of a poster-child for the tug-of-war between industry-generated and academic science. Vogel's illuminating account takes us back to the origins of the United States' attempts to regulate carcinogens and other toxic chemicals that can contaminate food. It shows that while our scientific understanding of synthetic chemicals' interaction with living cells has advanced enormously not much has changed over the past 50 years in the chemical industry's approach to government regulation of its products or the government's reluctance to make decisions that could be labeled anti-business.
Chemical industry trade associations maintain that BPA is safe and criticize the science or decision-making processes that suggest otherwise. This response, Vogel demonstrates, is disconcertingly similar to what happened in the 1950s when industry sought to and succeeded in whittling away the federal government's power to eliminate carcinogens from food and food-contact products.
Continuing the story David Michaels chronicled in Doubt is their Product and Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway illustrated in Merchants of Doubt, Vogel shows us that doubt-production is still in full swing. What makes her history so interesting is its examination of how the whole regulatory system with which we are now saddled has been shaped by these forces. BPA, as an endocrine disrupting chemical that can interact with exceptionally sensitive cellular receptors and produce effects at low levels of exposure and either very different or no effects at higher levels, is a challenge to traditional toxicology that assumes dose and effect have a linear relationship. Add to this the fact that chemicals like BPA can produce adverse health effects that may take years to manifest and effects that depend on timing as well as level of exposure. All are inherent challenges for a regulatory system built around setting safe exposure levels determined by risk assessments that include assumptions of acceptable risk.
Ongoing health consequences
This, in the end, is what the Toms River families confronted as they pursued answers to exactly which chemicals might be responsible for the cancers. While Ciba had dumped incalculably large amounts of carcinogenic chemicals into the local environment, ultimately pinpointed as a likely culprit was an obscure mixture of styrene and acrylonitrile dumped not by Ciba, but in illegally discarded Union Carbide barrels that had leaked into groundwater. Was that chemical definitively responsible for sickening Toms River children? No one will ever know for sure. Did other toxic chemicals also play a role in these children's diseases? It's likely, but again, no one will ever know for sure. Fagin's account of these toxicological and epidemiological forensics is dramatic and eloquent.
What we also don't and will probably never will know is how workers at Ciba's Toms River plant were affected by occupational exposure to these toxic chemicals. Dye industry chemicals are well known to be associated with cancer, and Fagin weaves this history into his narrative. He also shows why it's proven so difficult to definitively connect occupational exposure with adverse health effects suffered by workers – or to prove a cancer cluster – particularly if that data is destined for a court of law, a history that continues to this day for all too many people.
While the Toms River families' case against Ciba was eventually settled and that factory closed, the story is not over. The dye industry is now running full throttle in Asia where, in sickening cases of déjà vu, communities in China and India (among others) are suffering the effects. Meanwhile, many Toms River families and former Ciba workers continue to live with anxiety.
Read Is it Safe? and Toms River and you'll come away with a deepened understanding of how flawed our chemical regulatory system is, how it is designed to err in favor of the chemicals and those who produce them, and how it places overwhelming burdens of proof of harm on those who may suffer ill effects of toxic chemical exposure. Modern regulations have mechanisms to prevent to wholesale dumping of toxics into the environment and prohibit poisoning of workers, but these regulations are often poorly enforced. And as Vogel illustrates in her account, policy's failure to catch up with science is taking a toll on human health. Both books tell histories that we ignore at our peril.

Previous Captain of the Skeered of Nothing and Captain of the Guard. His whereabouts are unknown.
A tall beast, decently built, as well as surprisingly fit.
Raserei Gotalmo is a wildcat with a silver colored base coat, fur lightly accented by frost blue and snow white markings, and in about his early twenties. With headfur black as midnight, he has let it grow long enough for a short ponytail, only enough to fall to the base of his neck once gathered, but it is thick and strong.
As far as clothing goes, he wears a black tunic top with a black ribbon tie cord, a pair of black linen pants, and a brown leather belt, with a small, obscurely decorated buckle. A black leather collar adorned with a small, golden bell is around his neck from when he served as a 'personal attendent' (Otherwise known as slave) to Myrhakel Greenfire. He has no piercing of any sort on his body, and does not intend to anytime soon gain any. Scars appear on his upperback, upper arms, forearms, and chest from difficult manual labor and weapons training as a young one.
Lately, he has been taking troublesome measures as to keeping his physical appearance neat and clean, to look presentable at all times.
For quite some time, many wonder what became of the good Captain. For the time being... maybe longer, he has returned, but, as merely a husk of his former self. Physically appearing to be a ghoul of sorts, body destroyed, lacerated, maimed, mauled, scarred, and burned beyond recognition on his arms, chest, back, mid-section, as well as his legs.
What could do such a thing?
The Tom has been nourishing himself, exercising, and allowing himself to smile lately, though there is still the haunting presence of what happened to him a short while ago.
Admiral Raserei Gotalmo - A new tri-corner hat rested atop the Admiral's head. The recent promotion in rank was cause enough for him to go out, and purchase what he felt was going to be a new uniform for himself. Black pantaloons were about his lower body, and a white, ruffled shirt was tucked into them, complete with matching black colored vest, which obviously had no expense spared in it's make with it's silver buttons... To further accent his garb, a silver trim was altered into it, giving it a more prestigious, and bold look.
Though he feels most inclined to use his cutlass, Raserei has forced himself to learn of all weapons of the Imperium. He has taught himself the bow, possess the ability to weild a spear much like a staff,(Prefers the staff) and can easily use a two-pawed sword.
This razor edged, finely honed weapon served his late father till his death. A blade made of a steel yet to meet its match,(It has yet to meet many) it has grooves along the blade for allowing easy cleaning after a fight. The hilt guard is adorned with a pair of wildcat shaped shilloutes on either side, and a small mark rests on the center of either side. The hilt itself is wrapped in leather and then held in place by a golden mesh fillagry, that extends from the hilt guard down to the pummel, where a ruby rests in its base.
It came as a surprise for Raserei, that morning on Soggus 9th, 1724, when he was bestowed with the Captainship of the Skeered of Nothing, and the previous Captain, IronPaw R. SkarBlade, was given the Ministry of Misanthropy.
Admiral Raserei Gotalmo, of the Vulpine Imperial Navy ... such a wonderfully sounding thing. Humidor 1st, 1725, he had been Captain of the Skeered for little over a year before he had been bestowed the title by those of higher power. Truth be told, there are rumors about the feline about to pull several surprise inspections... That should prove for some rather... interesting situations.
Merry 11th, 1726. A new Captain of the Stoatian Guard has been named, and the one to fill the position, according to the Minister of War, one IceRain A. Sleet, is none other than Raserei himself. What brought about this event? Perhaps to rekindle friendship? To give the feline a chance to prove that he wasn't all for Misanthropy, considering he's been ordered to resign, etc?
This is interesting, in, and of itself.

Retrieved 6 November Staying in an abusive relationship might leave you depressed, anxious or hopeless. When I gave him my number, I knew exactly what I was doing. Although these issues exist among people who are non-heterosexualdiscussion about their causes shifted after homosexuality was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual DSM in Gay men and lesbians form stable, committed relationships that are equivalent to heterosexual relationships in essential respects. Since homosexuality tends to lower reproductive success, and since there is considerable evidence that human sexual orientation is genetically influenced, it is unclear how it is maintained in the population at a relatively high frequency.
