This is what's become of twin sisters sold over the internet to a North Wales couple for £8,000 - sparking a transatlantic scandal
Kiara and Keyara Wecker were six-months-old when they were sold online to a Judith and Alan Kilshaw in 2001
Christopher Bucktin
Twin girls sold over the internet to a North Wales couple nearly 18 years ago have been tracked down 'bright and confident' in America.
Six-month-old babies Kiara and Keyara Wecker were sold for £8,200 by their mother in 2001 to Flintshire couple Judith and Alan Kilshaw .
The sale sparked a transatlantic outcry with then Prime Minister Tony Blair and the FBI becoming involved.
Soon after the girls arrived in Britain, it emerged a US couple had already adopted the sisters, who were then snatched back by their birth mother Tranda Wecker and sold on to the Kilshaws, from Buckley .
Now, nearly 18 years on, the Mirror has tracked down the twins and can reveal how they left behind their chaotic start in life after being settled with a loving church-going family in their home state of Missouri.
Speaking exclusively to the Mirror just weeks after the twins started at university where they are studying social sciences, their adoptive mum tells how "her babies" have flourished.

The proud 56-year-old said: "At times it has been tough, sure it has, but they are our babies and we cannot be more proud of them. They have grown into fine young women, each with their own dreams and ambitions.

"Nothing will hold them back from their goals. From the day they were brought to us they have been raised with unconditional love.
"God blessed them into our care and we are forever grateful."
Tranda was a 28-year-old mother of five when her four-month-old twins were adopted by a couple in San Bernardino, California, called Richard and Vickie Allen.
Eight weeks later she talked the Allen's into allowing her one last visit to say a final goodbye to the girls. However, after taking the twins out for the day she never returned.
On December 1, 2000, the Flintshire couple arrived in San Diego, 100 miles south, where Wecker introduced them to her infant daughters.
Two days later Vickie Allen's brother confronted them at their hotel and demanded the babies back.
The Kilshaws claimed that until that moment they knew nothing of the Allens, and they quickly left the state - with the twins.

Over the following week they drove with Wecker and her three-year-old daughter to St Louis, Missouri, to get the girls' birth certificates, then on to Arkansas, where adoptions can be handled in as little as 10 days.

On December 22 the adoption papers were completed during a five-minute hearing.
Within a week the Kilshaws had taken the twins – by then renamed Kimberly and Belinda – back to their home in North Wales.
The seven-bedroom farmhouse was shared with Judith's younger daughter, their two sons, six dogs, more than a dozen cats, two ferrets, a horse, a pony and two pot-bellied pigs.
As the controversy over the twins' sale erupted, the FBI looked into it in the US while then-Prime Minister Tony Blair vowed to ban such sales.
Eventually Kiara and Keyara, who now live under different names that the Mirror has chosen not to reveal, were returned to the US after the courts removed them from their Flintshire family.
They were flown to their home state of Missouri, where social services had already found a family for the girls.
Their adoptive father, now 72, said from the home where the twins still happily live: "It was fate.

"I remember seeing them on Good Morning America not long after they were handed over to the British couple.
"I remember thinking to myself what a heartbreaking situation it was.

"My wife was getting ready for work one morning and I was in bed having just retired, and I said, 'Oh man, look at those cute little girls.'
"Not long after I received a phone call from social services and they said, 'We've got some twin girls and they are overseas. Would you take them? They need a stable home'.
"I felt it was my duty to take them. They brought them straight from the airport to our home and we have never looked back since."
The twin baby girls arrived at their home in Missouri in good health despite their ordeal.
Most people welcomed the twins into their new surroundings, but after all the controversy not everyone agreed with the move.
Their adoptive father said: "My wife lost some friends over the fact we had taken Kiara and Keyara.
"They were extremely settled and very happy."
When Wecker went to court to gain access to the children, the courts ordered that it would only be permitted once the girls had been told their true identity by their adoptive parents and a social worker.
"They were only six at the time," said their mum.

"But in truth, we've never once hidden the truth from them. They know who they are." At the time of the contact, Tranda Wecker vowed to get the girls back but, much as she did in 2001, she later turned her back on them again.
"The contact the girls have with Tranda is down to them," their mum said. But Keyara doesn't want anything to do with her."

The twins worked hard throughout school and took an active part in sports there.
They both excelled in lacrosse and basketball as well as joining the school band, performing at their high school football team's games. Now they have continued their passion by joining the band at their new university.
For now, the two girls remain living at home with their parents, although they hope next year to move into halls of residence some 30 miles away.
Although identical, the independent girls have grown up to have very different personalities.
Keyara is known to be bubbly and outgoing while Kiara is more reserved and measured.
Their proud and loving adoptive mother often posts pictures of the girls' progress online, referring to them as "my babies" and "my queens".
In one post along with a picture showing the twins when they were around five years old, she wrote: "Back in the day when they were like sugar and spice and everything nice."
In a touching montage showing the girls at various ages, which she posted to celebrate their 15th birthdays, she wrote: "Today queen one and two turned 15 years old.
"These girls have brought me joy and sorrow, but I still love them very very much. These girls have changed a lot over the years and I am happy to share it with them."

After an adult conversion, is there any halakhah, etiquette or rule regarding a celebration for the convert?
Your question regarding adult conversion, known in Hebrew and Rabbinic sources as 'giyur,' seems simple and straight forward. You ask about the"… halakhah, etiquette or rule regarding a celebration for the convert." This too seems to be quite simple; however, in reality it is not so simple.
Why is this so? It is because to my knowledge there is no one fixed religious ceremony for the acceptance of 'gerim' – converts in Judaism. The procedure for carrying out the 'giyur' in halakhah is well-known and found in the halakhic literature, especially in the 'Shulhan Arukh'—Code of Jewish Law.
A Rabbinic Court – 'Beit Din' knows how to go about with the conversion, but the ceremony of acceptance of the convert, is largely left to the 'Beit Din' to come up with its own ceremony.
That being said, is there any direction or anything in writing or print for the rabbi, Beit Din or synagogue? The short answer is, yes.
Yes, there was the tried and true Orthodox manual "Hamadrikh" by Hyman E. Goldin published by Hebrew Publishing Company in 1939, but it was handy to look up some things and study, but not very handy for the actual ceremony. It does not deal with 'giyur' – conversion and the ceremony.
Can't one just look into a nice, large 'siddur' – traditional prayer book and find the conversion ceremony? The answer is, it is not there.
The Reform and Conservative seemed to have solved this with their Rabbi's manuals, but the Orthodox, at least in America were somewhat at a loss. Honestly, many rabbis took to either copying out parts of services from the Conservative and maybe even Reform, or taking the Rabbi's manuals and covering them with a blank cover so that the actual source could not be seen. How do I know this? Because, I witnessed this practice on many occasions by respected rabbis.
The rabbis in question performed impressive and meaningful religious services using the parts of these manuals that conformed to the 'halakhah' and their personal beliefs.
Today, there are many more available resources in all Jewish movements including Orthodoxy. The Rabbinical Council of America came out in 1995 with "The RCA Lifecycle Madrikh" by Rabbi Reuven P. Bulka. This is a very impressive and highly usable Rabbi's manual for Orthodox rabbis. It includes a Conversion section; however, this section is quite limited, offering advice to the rabbi rather than much real content.
On the other hand, the Reform "Rabbi's Manual" published in 1988 has eighteen pages in its 'Giyur' – Conversion section and the current Conservative two-volume "[Moreh Derekh]: The Rabbi's Manual of The Rabbinical Assembly" published in 1998 has eighteen pages in its "A welcoming ceremony" section which comprises only part of its extensive 'Geyrut' chapter, totaling seventy pages.
I have offered a review of Rabbinic manuals as it applies to guidance when doing an adult conversion ceremony. All seem to agree that something must be done in an impressive way to give meaning to the momentous event of conversion in the life of the convert, the family and the community. What it is that needs to be done and how it is to be carried out is as yet undecided. It is in the hands of the local community to design something of meaning, with a powerful impact upon those present.
Wishing you all the success in the world in your endeavors. 'Barukh Habbah' – Blessed is the one who comes. Welcome!


An accelerometer is a device that measures proper acceleration.
In relativity theory, proper acceleration is the physical acceleration (i.e., measurable acceleration as by an accelerometer) experienced by an object.
Highly sensitive accelerometers are components of inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles.
An inertial navigation system (INS) is a navigation device that uses a computer, motion sensors (accelerometers) and rotation sensors (gyroscopes) to continuously calculate by dead reckoning the position, the orientation, and the velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object without the need for external references.
Such accelerations are popularly denoted g-force; i.e., in comparison to standard gravity.
Despite the name, it is incorrect to consider g-force a fundamental force, as "g-force" is a type of acceleration that can be measured with an accelerometer.
Put another way, at any point in spacetime the equivalence principle guarantees the existence of a local inertial frame, and an accelerometer measures the acceleration relative to that frame.
All inertial frames are in a state of constant, rectilinear motion with respect to one another; an accelerometer moving with any of them would detect zero acceleration.
This is why an accelerometer in free-fall doesn't register any acceleration; there isn't any.
Proper acceleration, being the acceleration (or rate of change of velocity) of a body in its own instantaneous rest frame, is not the same as coordinate acceleration, being the acceleration in a fixed coordinate system.
Proper acceleration, the acceleration of a body relative to a free-fall condition, is measured by an instrument called an accelerometer.
In commercial devices, piezoelectric, piezoresistive and capacitive components are commonly used to convert the mechanical motion into an electrical signal.
Many types of sensors use capacitive sensing, including sensors to detect and measure proximity, position and displacement, force, humidity, fluid level, and acceleration.
Applications for accelerometers that measure gravity, wherein an accelerometer is specifically configured for use in gravimetry, are called gravimeters.
The first gravimeters were vertical accelerometers, specialized for measuring the constant downward acceleration of gravity on the earth's surface.
Notebook computers equipped with accelerometers can contribute to the Quake-Catcher Network (QCN), a BOINC project aimed at scientific research of earthquakes.
The Quake-Catcher Network is an initiative run by the University of Southern California that aims to use computer-based accelerometers to detect earthquakes.
Micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers are increasingly present in portable electronic devices and video game controllers, to detect the position of the device or provide for game input. Modern accelerometers are often small micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and are indeed the simplest MEMS devices possible, consisting of little more than a cantilever beam with a proof mass (also known as seismic mass). Damping results from the residual gas sealed in the device. One of the most common uses for MEMS accelerometers is in airbag deployment systems for modern automobiles.
Bulk micromachining has been essential in enabling high performance pressure sensors and accelerometers that changed the sensor industry in the 1980s and 90's.
Thus, gravimeters can be regarded as special-purpose accelerometers.
Some smartphones, digital audio players and personal digital assistants contain accelerometers for user interface control; often the accelerometer is used to present landscape or portrait views of the device's screen, based on the way the device is being held.
Smartphones typically include various sensors that can be leveraged by their software, such as a magnetometer, proximity sensors, barometer, gyroscope and accelerometer, and support wireless communications protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and satellite navigation.
Another automotive application is the monitoring of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), conditions that cause discomfort for drivers and passengers and may also be indicators of mechanical faults.
Typical instrumentation used to measure NVH include microphones, accelerometers and force gauges, or load cells.
This gravity gradiometry is useful because absolute gravity is a weak effect and depends on local density of the Earth which is quite variable.
Nintendo's Wii video game console uses a controller called a Wii Remote that contains a three-axis accelerometer and was designed primarily for motion input.
The Wii introduced the Wii Remote controller, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and which detects movement in three dimensions.
An accompanying temperature sensor (like thermistor; or thermopile) in the dome is used to determine the temperature profile inside the dome, hence, letting us know the location of the heated bubble within the dome.
Thermopiles are used to provide an output in response to temperature as part of a temperature measuring device, such as the infrared thermometers widely used by medical professionals to measure body temperature, or in thermal accelerometers to measure the temperature profile inside the sealed cavity of the sensor.
Apple has included an accelerometer in every generation of iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, as well as in every iPod nano since the 4th generation.
Also added was an accelerometer which allows the Nano to shuffle songs by shaking it, the option between portrait and landscape display modes by tilting the iPod left or right, and access to Cover Flow when tilted sideways.
The display responds to other sensors: an ambient light sensor to adjust screen brightness and a 3-axis accelerometer to sense iPad orientation and switch between portrait and landscape modes.
Single- and multi-axis models of accelerometer are available to detect magnitude and direction of the proper acceleration, as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation (because direction of weight changes), coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock, and falling in a resistive medium (a case where the proper acceleration changes, since it starts at zero, then increases).
They sometimes involve piezo-based accelerometers with low consumption of electrical power.
Modern accelerometers are often small micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and are indeed the simplest MEMS devices possible, consisting of little more than a cantilever beam with a proof mass (also known as seismic mass). Damping results from the residual gas sealed in the device.
A proof mass that deforms a spring in an accelerometer is sometimes called the seismic mass.
A 3-axis accelerometer senses the orientation of the phone and changes the screen accordingly, allowing the user to easily switch between portrait and landscape mode.
One of the most common uses for MEMS accelerometers is in airbag deployment systems for modern automobiles.
The ACU monitors a number of related sensors within the vehicle, including accelerometers, impact sensors, side (door) pressure sensors, wheel speed sensors, gyroscopes, brake pressure sensors, and seat occupancy sensors.
In silicon the piezoresistive effect is used in piezoresistors, transducers, piezo-FETS, solid state accelerometers and bipolar transistors.
Along with orientation view adjustment, accelerometers in mobile devices can also be used as pedometers, in conjunction with specialized applications.
The 5th and 6th generation iPod Nano by Apple features an integrated accelerometer.
Within the last several years, several companies have produced and marketed sports watches for runners that include footpods, containing accelerometers to help determine the speed and distance for the runner wearing the unit.
It uses one or more accelerometers and processes several times a second to compute speed.

Everything's up to date in Kansas City!
They've gone about as far as they could go… Seriously, with this production. I think they have.
Yes. I am here in smolderin' Kansas City where everyone teases me about (I mean… abowt) my little Canadian-isms. I look at the weather in awe that it'll be 37 degrees on Friday! Which to Americans sounds like a frozen Canadian Christmas.
I am truly grateful to be here. The staff at the theatre have been tremendously hospitable and the cast is overloaded with talent and energy. The production value is second to none and the audiences are as enthusiastic as ever. After logging hundreds of performances in Canada, it's exciting to be closer to the source. Kansas City is only a few hours from Clear Lake, IO where Buddy played his last show.
Taking Buddy to new heights in rehearsal
Fun fact: When I was a shy, ninth-grader, my sister insisted I audition for the high school musical. I fought off some serious nerves and flubbed my way through some kind of 90s grunge rock song. Haha. I think it was Nirvana. Somehow some potential was revealed and I was cast as Will Parker in Oklahoma! "Kansas City" was the first song I ever sang for a theatre audience. Little did I know I had cut the first branch, carving a path for myself as a stage actor that has taken me all over Canada and, now, into the US.
I still recall some of the lyrics:
"I got to Kansas City on a Frid'y, by Saturday a learned a thing or two,
for up to then I didn't have an I'dy of what the modern world was comin' to
I counted 20 gas buggies goin' by themselves almost everytime I took a walk.
And then I put my ear to a Bell telephone and a strange woman started in to talk"
And I swear, it's even more up-to-date then the song suggests 😉

What is the A-Lift facial treatment?
A-lift is a non invasive treatment which helps to make your skin become firmer, rejuvenated and it also helps the elasticity of skin which helps overall complexion and hydration of the skin.
Who can benefit from the A-Lift facial treatment?
Everyone can benefit from the A-Lift facial, male/female, all ages and all skin types.
Why does the skin benefit from the A-Lift facial treatment?
Nano/Micro-current treatment is backed by over 20 years research. It was first used to to treat medical conditions such as facial palsy and stroke sufferers. Nano/Micro-current therapy is a form of electrical impulses measured in a millionths of an amp, this mean you feel very little of anything at all when the current is applied to the skin.
When a cell does not function properly it does not generate sufficient electricity for the pump to work, a bit like a torch battery that only has enough energy to make the bulb glow rather than give off a bright beam of light.
In affect, nano/micro-current therapy is able to jump start the cell by giving it the amount of energy needed to start functioning at the correct level. It should be stressed that the levels of current required are so small they can not be felt.
As a result of adding low levels of electrical current, Nano/Micro-current therapy mimics the bodies own electrical impulses therefore accelerating rates of collagen production plumping the skin and erasing fine lines and wrinkles.
When you make facial expressions, over time, muscles can tighten and become fixed in place leading to pronounced frown lines and wrinkles or the muscles can stretch, causing sagging and slackness.The ALift therapy relaxes over/taut muscles to provide a firm shape and tone to the face or any area. This rejuvenation affect is partly due to the Alift increasing the rate of which the body produces collagen.
The Alift also stimulates the lymphatic system which reduces the amount of fluid in the face. Eye bags can be reduced and dark circles can be visably improved. This is achieved by increasing the blood flow to the skin, allowing it to rid itself of waste and dead cells. The result is a better texture, colour and healthy glow. It can increase the speed at which the skin produces its own connective tissue fibres, elastin and collagen. Enlarged pours can be tightened and scar tissue can be softened.
During a course of treatments, facial muscles become re-educated learning there new positions. Some people see an improvement and feel a tightening effect after one treatment, although generally it will take a few treatments before you feel a positive effect. We recommend two treatments per week for three weeks and then a Maintance treatment every four weeks. This many vary accordingly to the condition of the skin and clients lifestyle.
A short course is advised to help get the most out of the treatment. After the short course we recommend that you have a treatment once a month to help you get the full potential of the treatment.
The treatment takes around 60 minutes but could be longer if a consultation is needed.
What happens on your first A-Lift facial treatment?
The therapist will start by cleansing your skin to ensure any impurities are cleansed away. A thin layer of ECG gel is allied which helps the machine to glide smoothing across your skin to ensure the electro-stimulation waves pulse through the skin.
The first step of the treatment is drainage. This is where the therapists use the electrostimulation to help drain the lymphatic system.
The second step is stimulation. This is where the therapist will stimulate the collagen within your skin and elastin amongst over things.
The last step is lifting. This is where the skin is lifted by the electro-stimulation. You will be able to see the wrinkles are much smoother and less prominent after this stage.
Do I need to get a doctor's referral to set up an appointment?
No, a referral is not necessary. You can phone the Salon directly to set up a free consultation with one of our therapists.

The Luke Beige Experience by D'zyl 5k1
The other night I was at Scarub of Living Legends' album release party in the 626 and asked him what someone who has made many works over many years would say to someone earlier in that process. He said "the less you care, the freer you are." I immediately thought of 4 or 5 artists in my community that created in this way and of them I can think of few that create more fearlessly than San Bernardino's D'zyl 5k1. On The Luke Beige Experience, he explicitly pursues a project where he primarily sings throughout instead of rapping. It takes willpower as a rapper to not be the guest rap verse on your own sung-songs so kudos to him for that off-top but he also chose incredibly well. Hearing him rock tracks with Doc Lesnar, Cuda, CJ Simmons and more absolutely hits the spot because these are all I.E. technicians who know how to get the job done. Interestingly the collab with IEllis, "Us", features NuZega himself singing as well which caught me off-guard as I expected him to do something blistering and insane but it was just smooth!
As brave as it is conceptually this still felt like a D'zyl album so I'm glad he still credited it to D'zyl 5k1 as opposed to Luke Beige. The producers are masterly and returning collaborators like Kentucky's Spit1ne and the I.E.'s Big Mason. The songs have D'zyl's honest silliness, originality, humor and cleverness. From stoner musing "Stare at the Ceiling" with Lesnar to oral-sex anthem "Shock Top" with the Homegirl Monie, D'zyl did not make your average R & B record: it's an eyebrow raiser, like most of his work. Even the singing itself, largely evokes what he's done before as a singer but still- hearing him let loose, edit less, run with it more and push the vocals literally and as songwriting tools is delightful and effective. I love the song "Oh" produced by Ac3 Beats, an I.E. producer I hope pops up on more production credits of local luminaries like 5k1.
The album closer "Honestly" is hard-hitting and relatable, a masterwork and worth the price of admission alone. Bump this record and witness an artist in his bag, having fun, sharing it with you.

CT Scans Linked To Cancer
Filed Under Big Medicine, Cancer, Future of Medicine
The risk of cancer associated with popular CT scans appears to be greater than previously believed, according to two new studies published Monday. The findings support caution against the overuse of CT scans and other medical technologies that use radiation. The studies also bolstered the rationale behind controversial new breast-cancer screening guidelines, which pushed back the recommended age for annual mammograms to 50 from 40. Mammograms also use radiation, but in smaller doses. Analyzed data from several databases estimated that 29,000 future cancers could be related to CT scans received in 2007.
An imaging specialist looks on as a patient, behind window, undergoes a CT scan Aug. 6 at Falmouth Hospital in Falmouth, Mass.
.The CT — short for computerized tomography scan — can detect injuries and tumors. Its use has tripled in the U.S. since the early 1990s to more than 70 million in 2007. Though it has long been known that radiation increases a person's chance of getting cancer, the exact risk of these scans wasn't clear.
One of the studies, which examined more than 1,000 adult patients at four hospitals, projected that the dose of radiation received in a single heart scan at age 40 would later result in cancer in 1 in 270 women and 1 in 600 men.
Risks were lower for those who received a head CT scan: 1 in 8,100 women and 1 in 11,080 men would likely develop cancer from the radiation, the study said.
Doses of radiation from the scans varied wildly, according to the study, even within the same procedure at the same hospital.
Some patients got only one-tenth the radiation that others got, according to Rebecca Smith-Bindman, the first author on the study and a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging and epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California San Francisco.
.The findings raise questions about why radiation doses differ, and whether the variation is acceptable. "These are doses we should be concerned about," said Dr. Smith-Bindman. "They don't have to be this high."
The variation in radiation exposure for any particular CT procedure is likely due to such factors as a lack of standardized settings, and differences in how the radiologists and technologists use the technology for different patients, according to Dr. Smith-Bindman.
A radiation dose that is too low, for example, could yield a picture that isn't clear enough to reveal abnormalities.
The second study analyzed data from several databases and estimated that 29,000 future cancers could be related to CT scans received in 2007, with the greatest number of cancers projected in the abdomen and pelvis.
The cancer risk was greatest for young patients, this study found. For instance, a female who received an abdominal scan at age 3 had a 1 in 500 chance of developing cancer because of the radiation from that scan. That figure dropped to 1 in 1,000 by age 30, and 1 in 3,333 at age 70.
Overuse of radiation-based tests is a concern when they are performed to diagnose patients who have a known abnormality. But the concern is even greater when they are performed for screening purposes, said Amy Berrington, an investigator at the National Cancer Institute and an author on both papers. "You're exposing a lot of healthy people" to radiation," she said.
The doses of radiation received from mammograms are much smaller than from CT scans, yet the small cancer risk should be weighed when deciding whether to undergo routine breast-cancer screening, Dr. Berrington said.
In loosening the mammogram guidelines last month, a federally funded task force of physicians cited, among other factors, the potential harm from testing.
Despite these concerns, CT scans provide "great medical benefit," she said. "On an individual basis, if the scan is justified, then the benefits should outweigh the risks."

Beat & Soul is an album by The Everly Brothers, originally released in 1965. It peaked at No. 141 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts. It was re-released on CD in 2005 on the Collectors' Choice Music label.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Richie Unterberger wrote of the album "While the performances are pretty good—and the vocals perennially better than good—it also seemed to be an indication that the pair were unwilling or unable to write or procure a decent supply of new material. Because of the overfamiliarity of most of the songs, it has to rate as one of the brothers' less interesting efforts, regardless of the high level of execution."

The Curfew Tower 2019 Residency open call for proposals based on the theme "Searching for the Miraculous"
We are interested in the idea of exploration, journey, the quest for something better, and places that are foreign and familiar.
In July 1975 Bas Jan Ader left Cape Cod, Massachusetts in a small sailboat called the Ocean Wave, in search of the miraculous. He left on a solo voyage, a transatlantic journey, from Cape Cod to Falmouth, England. On April 18th, 1976 approximately 150 nautical miles from the southwest coast of Ireland his boat was discovered and he was nowhere to be found. He disappeared from the face of the earth...searching for something. Artists are asked to submit proposals that relate to the idea of 'searching for the miraculous' leaving it open for various interpretations.
We are seeking proposals for a 1 month residency at the Curfew Tower in Northern Ireland. The Curfew Tower is in a small town called Cushendall on the Antrim Coast of Northeast Ireland. The tower was built in 1817 and was originally used as a prison. It is a multi-story building located in the center of Cushendall. The residency supports 1 artist at a time per month. The tower has a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and workspace. Artists are responsible for bringing whatever materials they need, including any tools or equipment. There is electricity and heat in the building but Wifi is not provided.
The artists Westen Charles and Elizabeth Withstandley are organizing this project. They are co-founders of Locust Projects a not-for-profit art space in Miami, Florida.
Artists are responsible for travel costs to and from Northern Ireland.
An interesting idea that relates to the theme.
To be self-sufficient and independent.
There is no fee to stay at the residency for the month.
A platform to have your project incorporated within a larger context.
This residency will result in a group exhibition and/or publication.
A 250 word project description of how your proposed project relates to this idea.
Please note any months that you would notbe able to participate in this residency.

Millennials are only beginning their likely decades-long reign as the largest generation in the workplace. While Millennials have taken over the top spot, the rest of the generations are still here too. By 2020, when Millennials are predicted to be 50 percent of the workplace, it will still be 50 percent all the rest of us. By 2025, when Millennials are predicted to be 75 percent of the workforce, it will still be 25 percent all the rest of us. And those numbers will fluctuate depending on where and with whom you personally do business. Within any organization, any team, any meeting, any marketing opportunity, you may find any combination of generations in the room with you. To achieve anything you want in any organization today, you must adapt to Millennials while continuing to serve members of all other generations. It's all about adapting. THE REMIX will show you how to do just that. Read Less

The story of King Arthur and the Round Table became a national myth thanks to Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Brittaniae – the History of the Kings of Britain. New research has unveiled that this work was written in Oxford.
Helen Fulton, professor of medieval literature at York University has found evidence that Geoffrey was in the English city from between 1129 and 1151, the period when he wrote the legendary account. She tells The Oxford Times, "Geoffrey can certainly be traced to Oxford between 1129 and 1151 because his name appears as a witness on a number of charters – grants of land normally awarded by the king to a particular priory.
Sarah Peverley, senior lecturer at the University of Liverpool, added "Scholars were already aware that Geoffrey spent a great deal of time at Oxford, studying and teaching there, but the new attention given to documentary evidence linking him to the city is fantastic; it will help us to re-evaluate his social milieu and the cultural influences at work on him as he was composing the Historia.
"Though the British fascination with Arthur dates back much further than Geoffrey's Latin chronicle, Geoffrey is ultimately responsible for the enduring popularity of King Arthur's story today. He took stories of Arthur's deeds and achievements from oral culture and brief references to him in earlier works, such as the Historia Brittonum, and invented a golden Arthurian age in the British past.
"His narrative presents history as it should have been, not as it really was. The chronicle's influence was far-reaching in the Middle Ages, and the Arthurian tales that Geoffrey inspired went onto influence Arthuriana in every subsequent age.
"King Arthur's appeal is timeless because he's a touchstone for greatness: he answers society's desire for strong and just leadership."
The minaret of Aleppo's historic Umayyad mosque has been destroyed, with video showing the famous structure in ruins. The Syrian government and opposition forces are blaming each other for the destruction. In a video released by opposition forces, one man claims that "tanks began firing in the direction of the minaret until it was destroyed."
The minaret was originally built in the eighth century, and rebuilt in the 13th century. The Umayyad mosque has been the scene of heavy fighting between Syrian government soldiers and opposition fighters over recent months, which has left the mosque damaged and looted.
They bill themselves as 'America's Finest News Source' and after seeing the competition, its hard to disagree. The Onion is well worth reading, as is the site Literally Unbelievable, which shares peoples reactions to their stories.
Jonathan Soifer is nostalgic for the time of Edgar the Peaceful, Reginold of Eichstätt and Heriger of Lobbes! At least when the Byzantines and Bulgarians weren't fighting each other.
The best lines: "God, what I wouldn't give to have been a vassal. Or even a peasant. Wouldn't matter—everyone was cool back then. Primogeniture wasn't even the law of the land yet, so a king's death just signaled a free-for-all among his family and neighboring lords."
Lyle Hume thinks he "would've turned more than a few wenches' heads back in 1350." Judging by his picture I think he would he is being overly optimistic.
The best lines "Of course, at 27, I would've been getting on in years, but I don't think the maidens would have held it against me. They might have been greatly attracted to someone roughly their fathers' age who had managed to hold onto most of his teeth and remain leprosy-free. Plus, I have gout. The disease of kings!"
This article, from 1997, was eerily accurate! Best line: "Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI could not be reached for comment."
I guess we were all so concerned about the Byzantine Empire that we did not see this other major geo-political event. Best line: "I can't believe how easy it was to claim Kiev for the Kingdom Of Ealdormere," said Royal Peer Gawain Falconsfyre, a 44-year-old tech-support assistant from a suburb of Toronto. "It was a piece of cake. Haven't any of these Russians ever heard of a moving-shield-wall offense?"
The Voynich Manuscript has confounded scholars ever since it was revealed by a book dealer named Wilfrid Voynich in the early part of the 20th century. There have been several theories of when this odd manuscript, which contains bizarre images and indecipherable writing, was created, with some believing it dates back to the Middle Ages.
In his article Cracking the Voynich Code, Batya Ungar-Sargon takes a look at the history of the manuscript. Radiocarbon dating finds that the manuscript was made between 1404 and 1438, although we do not know when the ink was written on it. Still, some believe the manuscript is really just a hoax, perhaps created in the 17th or even the 20th century. You can read the article on Tablet Magazine.
However, she also warns that the her country needs to do a better job protecting archaeological sites from environmental degradation. Click here to read this article from Iceland Review Online.
Meanwhile, Chinese archaeologists report that they might have discovered the tomb of Emperor Yang Guang, who was the last ruler of the Sui Dynasty. The small tomb contains a gravestone that identifies the emperor and relates events about the year he died, 618. However, Shu Jiaping, head of Yangzhou's Institute of Archaeology, warns "we're still not sure whether it was the emperor's final resting place, as historical records said his tomb had been relocated several times."
Emperor Yang Shang had a very active rule, ordering major building projects including a Grand Canal and rebuilding large parts of the Great Wall. But his construction work and military campaigns bankrupted the state, eventually leading to a coup in which he was murdered. Click here to read the full article from the China Daily.
Archaeological work being done at St.Hilda's Church in Hartlepool has turned up an Anglo-Saxon grave. Other burials from the Early Modern period were also found, as the church is digging up a section of its floor to install a new heating system.
The discovery might be evidence that an Anglo-Saxon monastery existed on this site. Bede records that a nun named Heiu founded a monastery in the area named Heruteu in the 640s.
Dr Steve Sherlock, of Tees Archaeology, said: "It's an exciting thing. We hope to do more work to understand it. It's always presumed that there was a church here in Norman times in 1066. We note that the church is sited in the area of St Hilda's Anglo-Saxon monastery, about 60ft north of the present church.
A historian in Germany has come across a new collection of medieval Arabic stories - a kind of precursor to the famous book known as One Thousand and One Nights. Claudia Ott, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, discovered The Book with the Story of the 101 Nights in a 13th century Andalusia manuscript.
The 101 Nights contains 17 stories, two of which can also be found in the 1001 Nights, with most set in India. Ott adds, "It is certainly not by chance that this backdrop has something Oriental about it when seen from an Arabic perspective. It is an image of an Orient that is far away, unfamiliar and exotic — for this reason, particularly attractive."
Ott first saw the manuscript on display at a museum in Berlin, and when she had the chance to look at, soon discovered its importance. She has translated the work into German.
What to do if you have 10,000 hours of free time?
Andy Wilkinson has recreated a miniature version of the Bayeux Tapestry - the eleventh-century embroidery that depicts William the Conqueror's invasion of England and victory at the Battle of Hastings. It took him 18 years to sew the 40 foot-long replica and he estimates that he spent about 10,000 hours to complete it.
In an article in the Daily Mail, Mr. Wilkinson explains, "I work a lot of night shifts and used to come home and find myself with not a lot to do for a few hours. I had seen a copied section of the tapestry at a medieval fair and thought that if they can do that so can I.
"Having never done a tapestry before, I came home and found a picture and just started to draw and sew. I had no formal training in sewing or drawing. I just drew the outlines of figures and animals like the horses onto a piece of calico material and then just stitched it."
This version of the Bayeux Tapestry depicts the portion of the Battle of Hastings. It will be going on display at Battle Abbey, the site of the battle that was fought in 1066.
They also note that the recent find of a possible Black Death cemetery in London might be very helpful in this area of research.
For those looking to donate some money to worthy history-related causes, please check out a couple of items on Indiegogo and Kickstarter. Tania Picard-Braun emailed us to let us know about her fundraising drive Help Me Go To Graduate School. She is hoping to raise $1000 to help her go to the University of Manchester where she will study for a Master's degree in Medieval Studies. Tania wrote "I've known I've wanted to be a historian since I was a little kid and that the Middle Ages was my favorite historical period since I was in High School. While still an Undergraduate, I presented my first academic paper at Plymouth St. University's Medieval and Renaissance Forum titled "The Middle Ages in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Images and Symbols".
Meanwhile, at Kickstarter you can find Ian Crowe looking to raise $9000 to create an art book featuring the 100+ stories of Ovid's masterpiece, Metamorphoses. He writes, "The fact is, despite being so pivotal, Metamorphoses is not as widely read as you'd think. Not anymore, anyway. Maybe it's the length of the book that turns people off. Maybe it's the lack of pretty pictures. Either way, I intend to do something about it."
Which medieval king will they find next?
With the media sensation caused by the recent discovery of Richard III, and the resulting boom in interest at it is not surprising that that some communities are desperate eager to find another lost monarch in their midst. In recent weeks a couple of stories have come out about searches being done in England.
At Queen Elizabeth School in Faversham, Kent, the building of a school auditorium is allowing archaeologists to explore an area where King Stephen was laid to rest back in 1154. Back in the twelfth-century, this site was home to Faversham Abbey, and the English monarch was buried there along with his wife and son. In the sixteenth-century, this Abbey was destroyed, leaving unknown the whereabouts of Stephen.
Meanwhile in Winchester they have already found a body, and are now working to see if they are the remains of the famous Anglo-Saxon ruler Alfred the Great. In March, the skeletal remains discovered in an unmarked grave at the church of St Bartholomew in Wincester were exhumed. Some scholars and archaeologists believe that these might belong to Alfred, who died in 899. Archaeologist Katie Tucker who is leading the search says that while it would be difficult to prove they belong to Anglo-Saxon monarch, "if the bones are from around the 10th century then that is proof they are Alfred and his family, because Hyde Abbey was not built until the 12th Century, and there is no reason for any other bones from the 10th Century to be there."
According to The Independent, searches are also underway for both King Arthur (good luck on that one) and Boudicca, who fought the Romans in the first century AD. The enthusiasm for finding lost kings has also spread to Scotland, where local politicians and history-lovers are calling for a search to be made for the grave of King James I, who was murdered on February 21, 1437.
Murdo Fraser, the Member of Scottish Parliament for Perth, told The Herald "Leicester will no doubt benefit from the worldwide attention brought by the exhumation of Richard III. A similar project in Perth would have the potential to attract similar global acclaim – which can do no harm in promoting the city. The story behind the assassination of King James I is well known and historians are almost certain that he lies buried underneath Hospital Street in Perth."
Finally, it looks like the people at the University of Leicester are not done with looking for kings themselves. Yesterday, they announced the search was on...for Richard IV.

CANBERRA – Dodging taxes using cryptocurrencies will soon be harder in Australia.
The government of Australia has announced the formation of a new task force aimed at ensuring that taxpayers who make profits from cryptocurrencies are not able to hide their incomes.
The new task force will be comprised of a group of expert in banking, tax law, and technology, and they are scheduled to meet for the first time in February to begin work on their task.
The main goal of the group will be to create strategies and mechanisms which will allow the government to track the flow of cryptocurrencies, and to accurately detect whether Australian taxpayers are paying taxes on profits made from cryptocurrency.
Currently, cryptocurrencies in Australia are considered to be an asset, and any profit made from their sale is considered to be a capital gain.

MBPT Spotlight: Telemundo Marketing Effort Aims to Draw Young Viewers to 'Super Series'
By John Consoli 21 April 2015
When Telemundo's "Super Series" El Señor de los Cielos airs Tuesday night at 10, it will be the first original series the network has produced and televised that has lasted three seasons.
And the network has a number of other marketing firsts designed to support the series, which drew 3.2 million viewers to its second season finale last September.
What turned out to be one of the most popular promotions has been a collectible comic book based around season two. But the marketing campaign aimed at drawing in younger viewers has also included an interactive nationwide Cine Transformer Tour, a 15-episode digital special series titled Los Secretos de El Señor de los Cielos, a dedicated Facebook app and a 19-hour surveillance feed tied to the series that will be available on Telemundo.com.
The surveillance feed shows lead character Aurelio Castillas (Rafael Amaya) in prison, just as he was when the series ended last season. Fans will be able to follow his every move on Tuesday from 6 a.m. until the series premiere at 10 p.m. when the storyline will pick up from there.
Just about all the promotional elements are firsts for Telemundo, says Aileen Angulo Merciel, senior VP, marketing and creative. The goal was to target younger viewers and bring them into the fold this season and that was particularly the goal of the comic book.
"Our research shows that there are 7.4 million Hispanics who are comic book readers, and we thought this was a great opportunity to reach out to some of them," she says. "We wanted to find a different way to connect with a younger audience."
The comic book idea was more than a hit. The network printed up just 6,000 copies initially to distribute at personal appearances by the series main actors in cities like Miami, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston and New York, where they autographed copies for fans.
Merciel says once news of the comics hit social media, the network was deluged with requests for more copies, which it plans to produce. Merciel adds that Telemundo will also publish a second comic based on the first season and after the third season finale a comic recapping that season will also be produced.
The interactive Cine Transformer tour which is titled "El Señor de los Cielos Tercera Temporada: La Experiencia," kicked off the weekend of April 11 and 12 in Los Angeles, continued in Dallas on April 17 and in Houston on April 19, and will also include stops in Chicago on April 23, Miami the week of April 27 and New York on May 3.
The 15-episode digital series recaps the first two seasons and is accessible across Telemundo digital and social platforms including online, mobile and on its novellas app. The network is also airing a second season recap at 9 p.m. Tuesday leading into the start of season three.
El Señor de los Cielos is the story of Aurelio Casillas, a prominent Mexican drug lord during the 1990's who underwent plastic surgery to hide his identity. The Telemundo Super Series run only between 60 and 80 episodes a season, compared to the traditional novelas that can run almost double that. And many of them are loosely based on reality.
Telemundo Studios produces the series, filming it in Mexico, and it also airs on Mexican television, where it also has a strong following.
Joe Uva, chairman, Hispanic Enterprises and Content at NBC Universal, says Amaya ,who plays Casillas, "has really become an icon among Hispanics in both the U.S. and Mexico."
Uva says the series started the network's ratings growth at 10 p.m. when it switched from traditional novelas to the new Super Series format. The series averaged 1.5 million 18-49 viewers in season one and 1.3 million in season two. The series premiered in season one with 2.3 million viewers and its season two premiere drew 2.7 million before concluding with 3.2 million, according to Nielsen data.
It also won an Internatonal Emmy award as Best Non-English Language U.S. Primetime Program in 2014.
Telemundo has been closed mouthed about releasing the names of marketers who'll be advertising in the season premiere, but one major advertiser will be MillerCoors, clearly aiming at those comic book reading young men.
But Merciel says while the El Señor de los Cielos storyline is more targeted to men, the series is watched by women too. And if you don't believe women watch broadcast network crime dramas, check out the ratings numbers which show more women than men 18-49 are watching most of them.
'Young Rock' Starts on NBC February 16


"The Visitation" at Creighton University by Timothy Schmalz. Photo taken by the author at the 2013 CTS Annual Conference.
Today we celebrate the Feast of the Visitation. In the story of the Visitation, we encounter Mary and Elizabeth providing bodily hospitality to their sons, extending loving hospitality to one another, and being held in the all-encompassing hospitality of God. And their witness invites us to consider how we extend hospitality to others and receive the hospitality of others.
First, both Mary and Elizabeth give witness to hospitality through their pregnancies. Mary's yes to God's request to be the mother of Jesus is a profound act of bodily hospitality that will forever alter her life. She opens herself to freely participate in God's salvific work of God at great risk to her own relationships and place in wider society.
After saying yes, Mary takes another, more immediate risk and travels a long distance to see Elizabeth, an older relative also miraculously pregnant with her first child. Mary does what many of us do when face grueling challenges or adversity: we seek out the wisdom, affirmation, and comfort of a loved one. In other words, we seek the hospitality offered through another's acceptance of our vulnerability and need. And Elizabeth does not disappoint. She welcomes Mary with open arms and words of joy and affirmation. Just imagine the relief Mary must have had felt when she heard Elizabeth exclaim: "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb!" It must have been much easier to grapple with her life-altering decision with those words echoing in her mind and heart.
Then in that space of love and affirmation Mary proclaims the sacred Canticle of Mary, also known as the Magnificat. Biblical scholars tell us that the Magnificat predates the Gospels and was most likely used in the earliest forms of Christian liturgy. With this in mind, the placement of the Magnificat may seem rather odd. It could have just as easily been tagged onto Mary's "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done according to your Word" at the conclusion of the Annunciation. Instead, Luke has Mary utter this prayer of prophetic witness—the punctuation of her yes–in the presence of her ally and confidante, a supportive and wise companion-in-pregnancy and faith who affirms Mary's yes. In the presence of Elizabeth the road-worn, frightened Mary proclaims her prayer of deep conviction that God's promise lives on; God will not forsake us. Through their solidarity Mary and Elizabeth are held in the fundamental and eternal hospitality of God.
In his little book Finding My Way Home, Henri Nouwen reflects on the Visitation: "The visit of Mary to Elizabeth is one of the Bible's most beautiful expressions of what it means to form community, to be together gathered around a promise, affirming what is happening among us." (1) The Visitation confirms that Christian conviction that hope becomes easier "where two or three are gathered." And this is what the Christian community is called to do as we actively participate in God's work in and through the world. We "gather around a promise"—Christ's promise of the in-breaking of the Reign of God–faithfully believing that this promise reaches further than Elizabeth or Mary or any of us can imagine.
As I write this post, theologians and theological educators from around the country and the world (including several contributors to Daily Theology!) are gathered together at St. Vincent College (a Benedictine college in Latrobe, PA) for the 60th Annual Conference of the College Theology Society. The conference's theme this year is "Great Work in Us: The Embodiment of Love in Contemporary Consecrated Life and Ecclesial Movements." This short reflection cannot do justice to all of the rich, exciting, and courageous theological papers and presentations delivered at this year's conference. But I do want to suggest how fitting it is that a diverse group of intellectually and spiritually committed scholars gather together on the Feast of the Visitation.
The intimate story of Mary and Elizabeth invites us to continue reflecting how we can adopt authentic hospitality as a lifelong practice in our family lives, our work, and our prayer. Last evening, after a long and beautiful day of presentations and rich conversation, many conference attendees gathered at Vespers and prayed those words of Mary: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." And on Sunday, we will return to our homes, scattered across globe, hopefully rejuvenated in our commitment to embody God's love through our scholarship, teaching, and prayer and extend the same hospitality we received to all of our brothers and sisters as we all wait in joyful hope for the coming of our salvation.

See chapters 1-4 for a detailed look at his understanding of intellectual hospitality and catholicity as embodied in faculty at Catholic colleges and universities.


With the advent of technology and then its uncontrolled spread across the globe, information has become a bone of contention, a reason to fight for between countries. Intelligence is part of such actions. Earlier, there were spies, just spies, now espionage is altogether a different ball game. Technology has helped finance terrorism and Kulbushan Jhadav is one such example. In the pursuit of information and intelligence, nations collide against each other and it results into blood. However, our side has always responded with maturity and has continued to show grace. We keep reiterating that our top priority is peace but if Indian forces escalate tensions at border, Pakistan shall bounce back with a stronger response and we actually proved it. It was a military victory by shooting Indian jets down, and then it was a diplomatic victory when Prime Minister Imran Khan shunned Modi's war escalation attempts by announcement of release of our tea-cup guest Abhinandan. It was warmly welcomed in Pakistan and all across the globe, Indian media however tried to portray it as their own win but we need not to blame them, that's their bread and butter.
This is not the first time that Pakistan has showed grace and attempted to de-escalate war tensions. On May 27, 1999, Flight Lieutenant Kambampati Nachiketa of Indian Air Force was taken into custody by our armed forces and Pakistan had a heart big enough to release him after he spent eight days in Pakistan. It was an unprecedented move and whether it was lauded or not diplomatically, memories have faded but no other nation could muster up such courage and show such maturity, the way Pakistanis have behaved in the last week.
Coming back to the information system spreading its network, the bad part holds the major portion. This technology has facilitated war; electronic media and social media have added fuel to the fire over the period of time. One such example is Google. If you google the benefits of war, it gives you enough reasons to reconsider your approach towards peace. Indian side is probably sticking to the same benefits, but just the way all that glitters is not gold, all that's on google is not wise either. These wars and border tensions are not about just blood, casualties or taking charge of enemies' check-posts, it has gone beyond that. The after effects of war-mongering hinder the progress of growth and de-escalate development. Your government's priority becomes peace, your forces' priority your border security and your priorities as a citizen are disheveled, you worry less about kids' education, less about your job prospects, much less about the future but all about your present – there are no long-term plans.
This is what happened to Mohmand Dam contract when it went unnoticed because people had no time to debate on something that relates to the future. Approval accorded for award of Mohmand Dam contract wasn't much debated because Pakistan had a bigger issue at hand after the Pulwama attack on February 14. Despite this dam's significance for dealing with water scarcity and energy sector's shortcomings, this controversial deal was awarded but the case wasn't highlighted much when announced on February 22 because our priorities at that time were different. It is not that the contract was awarded without much ado, and it's not that it shouldn't have been awarded. Chairman WAPDA had made it public in one of the pressers that WAPDA is negotiating with JV for further discount in the bid. Although, in the case of lowest bid, government is not required to negotiate further but the authority did and as per the evaluation document available on PPRA website, now the CGGC-Descon JV's evaluated cost is PKR183, 523, 482, 980, excluding provisional sum of PKR40, 939, 965, 667. JV was made to rationalise the cost after the efforts of authority and the pressure built upon it by opposition.
The purpose of this example here is that when we are not in the mode of war, we have ample energy to oppose the government or question the system. Due to the objections made by PPP leadership and by Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif, who also quoted examples from his tenure about negotiating further with the lowest bidder, the contract has formally been awarded in a win-win situation where government shall also be able to save billions of rupees while getting the dam built in time.
This is productive opposition that stood against the government, raised an objections and it resulted productively. It is pertinent to mention here that role of opposition in the recent crisis has also been exemplary, if government and opposition continue working closely for the good of masses then there's nothing that can dare harm the country. Hence, peace and better sense must prevail, and our precious time must be spent on improving our governance model instead of war settlements. Our side has realised this, it's time for Indian government and their citizens to realise it as well.

Q: What's the difference between "mod" and "remainder"? My friend said that there are differences between "mod" and "remainder".
If so, what are those differences in C and C++? Does '%' mean either "mod" or "rem" in C?

A: In C and C++ and many languages, % is the remainder NOT the modulus operator.
For example in the operation -21 / 4 the integer part is -5 and the decimal part is -.25. The remainder is the fractional part times the divisor, so our remainder is -1. JavaScript uses the remainder operator and confirms this

console.log(-21 % 4 == -1);

The modulus operator is like you had a "clock". Imagine a circle with the values 0, 1, 2, and 3 at the 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock positions respectively. Stepping quotient times around the clock clock-wise lands us on the result of our modulus operation, or, in our example with a negative quotient, counter-clockwise, yielding 3.
Note: Modulus is always the same sign as the divisor and remainder the same sign as the quotient. Adding the divisor and the remainder when at least one is negative yields the modulus.

A:
Does '%' mean either "mod" or "rem" in C?

In C, % is the remainder1.

..., the result of the / operator is the algebraic quotient with any fractional part discarded ... (This is often called "truncation toward zero".) C11dr §6.5.5 6
The operands of the % operator shall have integer type.  C11dr §6.5.5 2
The result of the / operator is the quotient from the division of the first operand by the second; the result of the % operator is the remainder ...  C11dr §6.5.5 5

What's the difference between "mod" and "remainder"?

C does not define a "mod" nor "modulo" operator/function, such as the integer modulus function used in Euclidean division or other modulo.
C defines remainder.
Let us compare "remainder" per the % operator to the Euclidean "mod".
"Euclidean mod" differs from C's a%b operation when a is negative.
 // a % b, the remainder after an integer division that truncates toward 0.
 7 %  3 -->  1
 7 % -3 -->  1
-7 %  3 --> -1
-7 % -3 --> -1

"Mod" or modulo as in Euclidean division.  The result is always 0 or positive.
 7 modulo  3 -->  1
 7 modulo -3 -->  1
-7 modulo  3 -->  2
-7 modulo -3 -->  2

Candidate modulo code:
int modulo_Euclidean(int a, int b) {
  int m = a % b;
  if (m < 0) {
    // m += (b < 0) ? -b : b; // avoid this form: it is UB when b == INT_MIN
    m = (b < 0) ? m - b : m + b;
  }
  return m;
}

Note about floating point: double fmod(double x, double y), even though called "fmod", it is not the same as Euclidean division "mod", but similar to C integer remainder:

The fmod functions compute the floating-point remainder of x/y.  C11dr §7.12.10.1 2

fmod( 7,  3) -->  1.0
fmod( 7, -3) -->  1.0
fmod(-7,  3) --> -1.0
fmod(-7, -3) --> -1.0

Disambiguation: C also has a similar named function double modf(double value, double *iptr) which breaks the argument value into integral and fractional parts, each of which has the same type and sign as the argument. This has little to do with the "mod" discussion here except name similarity.

[Edit Dec 2020]
For those who want proper functionality in all cases, an improved modulo_Euclidean() that 1) detects mod(x,0) and 2) a good and no UB result with modulo_Euclidean2(INT_MIN, -1).  Inspired by 4 different implementations of modulo with fully defined behavior.
int modulo_Euclidean2(int a, int b) {
  if (b == 0) TBD_Code(); // perhaps return -1 to indicate failure?
  if (b == -1) return 0; // This test needed to prevent UB of `INT_MIN % -1`.
  int m = a % b;
  if (m < 0) {
    // m += (b < 0) ? -b : b; // avoid this form: it is UB when b == INT_MIN
    m = (b < 0) ? m - b : m + b;
  }
  return m;
}

1 Prior to C99, C's definition of % was still the remainder from division, yet then / allowed negative quotients to round down rather than "truncation toward zero".  See Why do you get different values for integer division in C89?. Thus with some pre-C99 compilation, % code can act just like the Euclidean division "mod".  The above modulo_Euclidean() will work with this alternate old-school remainder too.

A: Modulus, in modular arithmetic as you're referring, is the value left over or remaining value after arithmetic division.  This is commonly known as remainder.  % is formally the remainder operator in C / C++. Example:
7 % 3 = 1  // dividend % divisor = remainder

What's left for discussion is how to treat negative inputs to this % operation.  Modern C and C++ produce a signed remainder value for this operation where the sign of the result always matches the dividend input without regard to the sign of the divisor input.

A: % is a remainder(leftover after dividend / divisor) NOT modulus.

You could write your own modulus function using the remainder(%) by the relation
  ((n%m)+m)%m

  where `n` is the given number and `m` is the modulus

Find below the difference between the remainder and modulus values for the range n = (-7,7) and m = 3
n       -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1  0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
%(-m)   -1  0 -2 -1  0 -2 -1  0  1  2  0  1  2  0  1  =>  remainder
% m     -1  0 -2 -1  0 -2 -1  0  1  2  0  1  2  0  1  =>  remainder
mod m    2  0  1  2  0  1  2  0  1  2  0  1  2  0  1  =>  ((n%m)+m)%m
mod(-m) -1  0 -2 -1  0 -2 -1  0 -2 -1  0 -2 -1  0 -2  =>  ((n%m)+m)%m

Tips to remember:
n%(-m)   = +(remainder)
(-n)%(m) = -(remainder)
sign of 'm' doesn't matter

n mod (-m) = -(result)
(-n) mod m = +(result)
sign of 'n' doesn't matter

For +ve 'n' and '%(-m)' or '%m' or 'mod m' gives the same remainder

A: There is a difference between modulus (Euclidean division) and remainder (C's % operator). For example:
-21 mod 4 is 3 because -21 + 4 x 6 is 3.
But -21 divided by 4 with truncation towards 0 (as C's / operator)
gives -5 with a remainder (C -21 % 4) of -1.
For positive values, there is no difference between Euclidean and truncating division.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_division#Other_intervals_for_the_remainder - C's choice of truncating the remainder towards 0 (required since C99) forces a negative remainder range for negative quotients.  Even in C89, when Euclidean division was allowed by the standard for /

If the quotient a/b is representable, the expression (a/b)*b + a%b shall equal a.

(-21/4) * 4  +  (-21%4) == -21;  C99 and later require (-5) * 4 + (-1), not Euclidean -6 and 3.

A: sign of remainder will be same as the divisible and the sign of modulus will be same as divisor.
Remainder is simply the remaining part after the arithmetic division between two integer number whereas Modulus is the sum of remainder and divisor when they are oppositely signed and remaining part after the arithmetic division when remainder and divisor both are of same sign.
Example of Remainder:
10 % 3 = 1 [here divisible is 10 which is positively signed so the result will also be positively signed]
-10 % 3 = -1 [here divisible is -10 which is negatively signed so the result will also be negatively signed]
10 % -3 = 1 [here divisible is 10 which is positively signed so the result will also be positively signed]
-10 % -3 = -1 [here divisible is -10 which is negatively signed so the result will also be negatively signed]
Example of Modulus:
5 % 3 = 2 [here divisible is 5 which is positively signed so the remainder will also be positively signed and the divisor is also positively signed. As both remainder and divisor are of same sign the result will be same as remainder]
-5 % 3 = 1 [here divisible is -5 which is negatively signed so the remainder will also be negatively signed and the divisor is positively signed. As both remainder and divisor are of opposite sign the result will be sum of remainder and divisor -2 + 3 = 1]
5 % -3 = -1 [here divisible is 5 which is positively signed so the remainder will also be positively signed and the divisor is negatively signed. As both remainder and divisor are of opposite sign the result will be sum of remainder and divisor 2 + -3 = -1]
-5 % -3 = -2 [here divisible is -5 which is negatively signed so the remainder will also be negatively signed and the divisor is also negatively signed. As both remainder and divisor are of same sign the result will be same as remainder]
I hope this will clearly distinguish between remainder and modulus.

A: In mathematics the result of the modulo operation is the remainder of the Euclidean division. However, other conventions are possible. Computers and calculators have various ways of storing and representing numbers; thus their definition of the modulo operation depends on the programming language and/or the underlying hardware.
 7 modulo  3 -->  1
 7 modulo -3 --> -2
-7 modulo  3 -->  2
-7 modulo -3 --> -1

Major roadworks in the centre of Weston-super-Mare - which started at Easter - are to finish within weeks.
The roadworks are part of a major scheme to transform Regent Street into a pedestrian zone with a new bus hub.
When the work is completed, Walliscote Road will be open only to buses, taxis and for deliveries.
READ MORE:Roads in Weston-super-Mare to be made one way to improve safety
The town centre regneration project, costing £6.8m, will enhance cycle and pedestrian links, bring together scattered bus stops across the town to one hub at Regent Street and see changes to the road layout at Alexandra Parade and Walliscote Road to reduce the volume of traffic in the town centre.
The scheme will also improve pedestrian access to the town centre.
Additional green space will be introduced in Alexandra Parade and more trees will also be planted in the town centre.
New loading arrangements will be introduced in Regent Street for lorries - as part of plans for a new pedestrian zone - with loading times and dedicated loading bays on the outskirts of the pedestrian zone available at all times of the day.

The roadworks have caused congestion in the town centre, especially during the busy summer months.
Tailbacks built up on routes into the town due to lights on Station Road.
North Somerset Council executive member for highways Councillor Mike Solomon said: "Following the consultation undertaken before the pandemic, the town centre improvement works have been for, and with, the local community.
"An attractive space has been created for residents, visitors and employers of Weston and I'm looking forward to seeing the final transformation."
The project is being funded by a £6.8m grant from the Department for Transport, Local Growth Fund and Historic England for highways, public realm and transport improvements.

The Birth and Death of Proteins in a Single Cell
| Original Press Release from EPFL

Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "The Birth and Death of Proteins in a Single Cell"
The amount of proteins inside cells fluctuate over time and this affects various functions of the cells themselves. Cells are constantly synthesizing and degrading proteins, and studies have shown that this "see-saw" actually impacts the function of the cell itself.
When it comes to stem cells, the constant variation of transcription factors (proteins that regulate the expression of genes) has important consequences on their ability to differentiate into mature cells. But what we don't know is how protein synthesis and degradation work together to regulate these fluctuations is not known.
The lab of David Suter at EPFL, in collaboration with the team of Félix Naef has now developed a new method that can distinguish changes in protein synthesis from changes in protein degradation in single living cells. The method, published in Molecular Cell, uses a fluorescent timer combined with pulse-chase fluorescent labelling, which is a technique that can track a cellular process occurring over time.
Using their new method, the scientists made two discoveries. First, that protein synthesis and degradation rates change significantly during the cell cycle, with almost half of them stopping to be degraded during mitosis.
The second discovery was that protein degradation rates differ largely between individual cells. This variability affects all proteins to a similar extent, suggesting fluctuations in the activity of proteasomes – the protein complexes that degrade unneeded or damaged proteins. Remarkably, these differences are offset by corresponding changes in protein synthesis rates, thereby allowing to minimize variability in protein expression levels between cells.
"Think of it as two factories," explains David Suter. "Factory A makes a lot of bad quality product X, meaning they are quickly out of order. Factory B makes less of high-quality product Y, which works for a longer period of time."

Home Lifestyle Travel The Best Things to Do While Visiting Athens
The Best Things to Do While Visiting Athens
Athens, the capital of Greece, was the heart of ancient Greek civilization, and you can be a part of it by getting your Oman Air ticket booking done. Meanwhile, the Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum store sculptures, vases, jewelry, and more from Ancient Greece, offering visitors the chance to go back in time. However, these ancient buildings and museums are not the only must-see attractions in Athens.
Immersing in Phiri's nightlife and shopping in Plaka are favorite pastimes of both tourists and locals alike.
Visit Acropolis
We can't tell you anything that hasn't been told many times about the ancient citadel of Athens. The Acropolis sits on a steep rocky outcrop above the city and has world-famous classic monuments that people spend their entire lives waiting to see live.
The pinnacle of these events is, of course, the Parthenon, but Propylea, Erectheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike are essential. With your registered guide, you can skip the lines and be fascinated by facts and curiosities about ancient Greek democracy and philosophy.
The road is steep and slippery over old marble until you reach the flat top and prepare yourself for the cranes and scaffolding, an understandable must for a World Heritage site.
Don't Forget the Acropolis Museum
The new facility os Acropolis Museum was completed in 2007, below the Acropolis peak, and replaced the former hilltop museum. This gigantic office of 25,000 square meters and 14,000 square meters of presentation space. The unique layout covers the ancient Athenian neighborhood. It is one of the best things to do in Athens as temperatures soar at midday. Please note that the line to get in can belong.
It is good to buy a skip-the-line ticket to the Acropolis Museum, and it is also advisable to book cheap flights to Athens.
Be Amazed at Parthenon
The Parthenon, seen as the greatest achievement of the Doric order and the most important building of classical Greece, leading it to the 21st century, is a symbol of Western civilization and Athenian democracy. The Parthenon was dedicated to the goddess Athena and began in 447 BC when the Athenian empire was the dominant force in the Aegean Sea.
Co-designed by Ictinus and Callicrates, it was a city treasurer at the time before becoming a church in the 6th century and then a mosque in 1460. Notoriously, some Parthenon sculptures were looted by Count Elgin in the early 18th century and later sold to the British Museum, where they remain. The remainder of the original sculptures of the frieze and pediment is the main attraction of the Acropolis Museum that follows.
Visit the Roman Agora
In the vicinity of the ancient agora, there is a Roman agora. Even though everything may seem like one spot, these structures were manufactured later and, in the long run, moved to the site of the old public square. On the edge of the Roman Agora is the ancient Hadrian's Library, founded by Emperor Hadrian in 132 AD. Even later, in Byzantine times, three churches were built near the library.
From the road, you can see one mass of the Hadrian's Library and the remnants of the Roman Agora. However, if you need to investigate further, you can purchase a ticket and walk around the ruins. Getting Oman Air ticket booking done is one of the best ways to reach Athens, so consider traveling with this carrier.
Recall the Past at Erechtheion
On the north side of the Acropolis is the temple of Athena and Poseidon, built in the Ionian Order from 421 to 406 BC. After antiquity, this Monument had many uses as a Byzantine church, a palace in the Franconian period, and much later, a residence for the harem of the Ottoman commander. What you must see and the characteristic painting of the Erechtheum is the southern porch of the Maidens.
It has six magnificent roof supporting caryatids, carved by Callimach or Alcamenes.
Changing of Guards
For some vacationers, watching the Changing of the Guard in Syntagma Square is an energizing and exceptional experience. The soldiers of the Presidential Guard stand in front of the Greek Parliament in Syntagma Square 24 hours a day all year round. The rangers wear traditional outfits along with pleated skirts, fringed legs, and pompom boots. Changing of the guard takes place every day in front of the Monument to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at 11:00 am.
This Monument commemorates the anonymous soldiers who died fighting for the country. There is a marble bas-relief on the Monument imitating the ancient tomb of a warrior. Whenever you book cheap flights to visit Athens, never forget to go to the changing of guards.
Get Socialized at Mnisikleous Street Stairs
If you are looking for Athens nightlife, head up the steps of Mnisikleous Street. Restaurants line the steps at the top end of Mnisikleous Street, attracting a crowd in the evenings. The restaurants vary in quality, although some are pretty good, the atmosphere here is hard to beat. He is extremely casual and relaxed.
In fact, when the tables are full, people sit on cushions on the stone steps, and small knee-length wooden benches are brought out and placed on the stairs to form an improvised table. People are often tightly packed for an intimate and friendly experience.
Athens is a dynamic and lively capital with archaeological remains alongside modern constructions. As such, it offers countless opportunities for adventurers, history buffs, sun worshipers, and epicureans. But if you're visiting a city on a tight budget, then there is nothing better than getting your Oman Air ticket booking done.
