It's Fall, which means it is time to change over my mantle. I love this season, what isn't there to love about it!
I used the wreath base last year, on my Fall Mantle from 2012 and the fence on my Spring Mantel.
I used burlap ribbon and fall decorative ribbon that I had on hand. Remember, I am all about using what I own, this project cost me $0, except some time!
I started by cutting my burlap ribbon to 18 inches and I folded it in half. Some of the flowers I used the frayed ends and the others I used the smooth edge. I used a thread a needle to weave the thread in and out of the burlap ribbon.
Weave in and out all the way to the end of the ribbon and leave the thread attached. Slowly pull the ribbon down the thread until it curls, pull tightly.
While the ribbon is pulled tightly start to form your flower by gathering the end and wrapping the clenched ends over each other and hot gluing along the way to hold the burlap in place.
Do the same with your decorative ribbon until you have enough flowers made to attach to your wreath. I also added buttons to some of the flowers to add detail to the flowers. I also layer a decorative ribbon with the burlap ribbon for added interest.
Next, cut a long piece of decorative ribbon and begin to feed it under the branches of the wreath base.
Now you are ready to hot glue the flowers onto the wreath.
Now you are ready to decorate your mantle with your repurposed Fall Burlap Wreath.
What is your favorite season? Can you guess mine is fall?
« Tantalizing Thursday~Chocolate Zucchini Bread!
I like it! What I like the most is that you've been able to refashion it for different occasions/seasons. Pinning!
I love the burlap flowers!! It's such a pretty wreath!! Love it!!
Monica, You are welcome! I hope it is easy to understand when you make yours!

Just days after Naomi Osaka announced she would be skipping mandatory post-match media conferences throughout the French Open tennis tournament, and was handed a fine for doing so, the 23-year-old says she will no longer be competing in it.
In a statement today, Osaka said she had "never wanted to be a distraction," and that the best thing for the tournament, the other players and her own well-being would be to withdraw.

Less than a week ago, the Japanese-Haitian tennis star said that she would not attend any press conferences during the Open, citing mental health concerns as the reasoning behind her decision.
"I've often felt that people have no regard for athletes' mental health and this rings very true whenever I see a press conference or partake in one. We're often sat there and asked questions that we've been asked multiple times before or asked questions that bring doubt into our minds," she wrote in a statement posted to Twitter May 26. "I've watched many clips of athletes breaking down after a loss in the press room … I believe the whole situation is kicking a person while they're down."
While Osaka said her decision to forgo press was "nothing personal" to the tournament, French Open organizers fined the tennis player US$15,000 on Sunday.
Today, Osaka said that she will be "taking some time away from the court."
"Anyone that knows me knows I'm introverted," wrote the Japanese tennis champion. "I am not a natural public speaker and get huge waves of anxiety before I speak to the world's media. I get really nervous and find it really stressful to always try and engage and give you the best answers I can."
The player also said that she has suffered long bouts of depression since the United States Open in 2018, and has had "a really hard time coping with that."
'The rules are quite outdated in parts'
According to the Code of Conduct of the International Tennis Federation (the governing body of world tennis), unless a player is injured and cannot physically appear, they must attend a post-match media conference — whether they won or lost. Typically, these press conferences are held immediately after a match, or within 30 minutes of its conclusion.
The 2021 Official Grand Slam Rule Book states that any player who doesn't show up to a media conference can be fined up to US$20,000.
"If the organizations think that they can just keep saying, 'Do press or you're gonna be fined,' and continue to ignore the mental health of the athletes that are the centrepiece of their co-operation then I just gotta laugh," said Osaka on Twitter last week, adding that she hoped the fines she incurred would go towards a mental health charity.

The board of the Grand Slam tennis tournament issued a statement yesterday on Osaka's decision not to attend any press conferences during the tournament, saying they had asked the tennis player to "reconsider her position" and tried "unsuccessfully to speak with her to check on her well-being."
"She was also reminded of her obligations, the consequences of not meeting them and that rules should equally apply to all players," read the joint statement from the world's Big Four tournaments, the French, the US Open, Wimbledon and the Australian Open.
"A core element of the Grand Slam regulations is the responsibility of the players to engage with the media, whatever the result of their match, a responsibility which players take for the benefit of the sport, the fans and for themselves."
The board also warned that should Osaka "continue to ignore her media obligations," she could face even harsher discipline — including default from the tournament and more substantial fines.
In her statement today, Osaka explained that she had been feeling "vulnerable and anxious" in Paris, and thought it was "better to exercise self-care and skip the press conferences."
"I announced it pre-emptively because I do feel like the rules are quite outdated in parts and I wanted to highlight that," said Osaka. "When the time is right I really want to work with the Tour to discuss ways we can make things better for players, press and fans."
In a since-deleted post to Reddit, Osaka's sister said that the tennis player knew that in order to "have a shot at winning" the French Open, also known as Roland Garros, she had to believe that she could.
Confirmed with Naomi Osaka's team that this Reddit post is indeed from her older sister, Mari Osaka. Gives unique insight amid Naomi's silence.
(Worth noting, probably, that Osaka did not do press after her loss in Rome to Pegula, from what I've heard, as she wasn't requested.) pic.twitter.com/VtYT57bOYS
— Ben Rothenberg (@BenRothenberg) May 30, 2021
"Her solution was to block everything out. No talking to people who (are) going to put doubt in her mind. She's protecting her mind hence why it's called mental health," wrote Mari Osaka, who is a retired-tennis player herself.
Roland-Garros also deleted a social media post that praised other tennis players for attending press conferences. The tweet featured photos of players Rafael Nadal, Kei Nishikori, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff, alongside the caption "They understood the assignment."
Osaka is also not the first athlete to be fined for missing out on press conferences.
In 2015, Venus Williams was fined US$3,000 for skipping a post-match press conference, following a loss to fellow American tennis player Sloane Stephens. Nearly a year later, she was fined US$5,000 for once again not showing up to a presser following a loss.
According to a report from Forbes in May 2020, the then-22-year-old Osaka surpassed Serena Williams to become the highest-paid female athlete ever, raking in $45 million (US$37.4 million) in prize money and endorsements during the year.

Random Terror
Sudden Fury (1975) (BLU-RAY/DVD REVIEW)
👤by Chuck Conry	 0 comments	📅13 March 2019, 06:25
DIRECTED BY: Brian Damude
STARRING: Dominic Hogan, Gay Rowan, Dan Hennessey
RATED: UR/REGION A/1:85/1080P/NUMBER OF DISCS 2
AVAILABLE FROM Vinegar Syndrome
Fred and his wife Janet have been experiencing problems in their marriage. But when she refuses to help him fund the building of a rural resort and, subsequently, reveals that she's had an affair, Fred snaps, staging a car accident on a country road and leaving Janet for dead. What seems like a perfect crime, disguised as an accident, is spoiled by the unexpected arrival of Al, an innocent passer-by who, in his attempt to save Janet, quickly finds himself fingered as the most likely suspect in her murder…
Sudden Fury shows us what might just be the world's worst husband as he tries his best to make sure his wife doesn't live to see the next day after she refuses to give him money and admits she cheated on him. His plan would go down without much of an effort if it wasn't for our film's unlikely hero who walks into the situation and then gets involved in a deadly cat and mouse game with our crazy husband. I don't know for sure what genre and all that you'd want to toss Sudden Fury into, but this is a damn fine movie and I enjoyed very much from beginning to the end. You got a slimeball bad guy here that you just want to see get his for what he is doing but in a movie of this nature you just never know how things will go and that's what keeps you invested the most in this. Yeah, you could say some of it might be a little far fetched and our characters aren't always using the most logic, but it's still enjoyable and I think it's one people should take a chance on if you haven't seen it.
This movie at times can offer up a bit of a bleak and helpless feeling, which is probably going along hand in hand with how our characters are feeling at times. We have a disaster taking place out in the countryside with no help in sight. The plot is a creative one and I was often wondering just how this one would wrap-up and even when that happens we have stuff that keeps you thinking about it. Sudden Fury is from Canada and is probably one of the best movies from there that you've never heard of before. It doesn't come with a lot of bells and whistles and we don't have nudity and tons of gore. You do have blood and you do have a great story holding everything together. You should try to give Sudden Fury a watch as soon as you can. Vinegar Syndrome did a great job giving this one new life on this release and showing it to many for what I'm sure is the first time.

Review by Roger Gonzalez
"The American Dream" at The Broadway Bound Theatre Festival Review.
Juan Ramirez has been heard to say that he is a playwright and not really an actor. His new play, "The American Dream," is part of the Broadway Bound Theatre Festival, now playing at The Theater at the 14th St. Y. Yet in this festival production, Ramirez decided to play the role of the male lead Efren, a "coyote" (human smuggler who brings illegal immigrants over the border) opposite leading lady, Cristy Reynoso. Reynoso plays the role of Corina, a twenty-something year-old woman who Efren is holding hostage until her husband wires the money that's owed to him for bringing her across. As it turns out, he also directed the play. In my opinion that is always a big mistake. But in this case, I have to admit I was floored by how good everything turned out.
First, I can vouch that Ramirez is a playwright, and a damn good one at that too. "The American Dream" is tight, engaging, thrilling, and holds your attention for 70 minutes in a way few plays manage to achieve at theatre festivals. Ramirez is a clean writer who knows how to grab your attention and keep it! At the festival level, many plays can crash and burn within ten minutes. But this material has legs, and it works beautifully. It is all done with one simple, bare set, an almost too "real-time" situation with a countdown that will keep you at the edge of your seat, and two characters you won't soon forget.
I walked in hoping Cristy Reynoso would be solid (having heard that Ramirez is not "really an actor"), but she better than solid. In fact, two fine performances sealed the deal on this being one of the best festival plays I've seen this Summer. If Ramirez was not an actor as he claimed going into this festival, he sure is now. This play can go place and you can thank a really good script, good acting by two new talents, and a simple, easy concept that is structured beautifully.
In a recent video interview (you can find it on Youtube: https://youtu.be/R9wBY3EWtdc), when asked what's next for the play, he said "rewrites." Some moments could use tightening, and without a doubt, they could use a director's eye to elevate the work. But as is, even his directing is impressive.
"The American Dream," Ramirez says, "is a drama about immigration, survival, raw violence, the struggle of power but more importantly, how one optimist and one pessimist pull each other out of their delusions into the peaceful truth of reality. But it is also a timely play that brings into focus the immigrant struggle and wraps us in a world where desperate people fight to survive. It also presents this world without lecturing or politicising the issue.
Corina is an immigrant from Guatemala who has arranged to be smuggled across the border guided by Efren (Ramirez). Instead of finding freedom, she finds herself imprisoned by Efren, who now holds her hostage because the final Western Union payment from her husband hasn't been wired. For Efren, this is a matter of self-preservation since he has to report to higher ups that run the operation, signaling that he is just a pawn in a much bigger operation. If he fails to control the situation, he is accountable in many ways. If she doesn't pay, a message needs to be sent. Corina has an hour and twenty minutes to see that wire transfer come through or her American dream will end with a bullet to the head before she even has the chance to experience her new life.
You won't see the play at the Broadway Bound Theatre Festival because it just closed, but the quality of such good material showing up at this inaugural event has proven that this is a festival to watch. As for The American Dream, I have no doubt this play will be back soon. You can follow it's progress at http://juanramirezjr.com/

Oddities, musings and news from the health world

Gaining weight? Maybe you should blame nutrition labels
Dieters beware: Food and restaurant labels might be sabotaging your calorie-counting efforts.
So found a study published in the current edition of the Journal of the American Dietetic Assn. Researchers from Tufts University took commercially prepared foods -- both prepackaged and from restaurants -- and analyzed them in a bomb calorimeter. The measured energy values of 10 frozen meals purchased from supermarkets averaged 8% more than originally stated, and foods from 29 restaurants (both fast-food and sit-down venues) were on average 18% more than reported.
That hidden – and unwelcome -- extra can fool dieters who don't have the time to cook their own meals into thinking they're cutting their caloric intake.
It certainly undermined the efforts of Susan B. Roberts, lead author on the study. The Energy Metabolism Laboratory director said she originally conceived of the idea for the experiment after designing two diets – one that required home-cooked meals, and another that did not. Roberts tested the diets out on herself, and her frustration quickly began to mount. In her home cooked-meal diet, she had lost weight consistently and on target. The no-cook regimen, however, was another matter.
"I wasn't losing any weight," Roberts explained in an interview. "This was ridiculous. I came into the lab one day and thought, something's not adding up -- I think there's more calories in these foods than there should be."
Roberts put her theory to the test. The results? A Lean Cuisine shrimp and angel hair pasta label says it's 220 calories (which works out to 250 calories of gross energy, the study calculates). The Tufts team pegged gross energy at 319. Denny's dry toast lists 92 calories (97 kcal of gross energy). Instead, it let off a whopping 283 calories.
The discrepancies were a little less extreme than those in the Pirate's Booty scandal back in 2002, when a suspicious Good Housekeeping employee tested the apparently low-fat snack (label: 2.5 grams of fat) and found it had 8.5 grams, more than three times the stated amount. And to be fair, some foods came in under caloric value (a serving of Domino's thin crust cheese pizza had 141 calories, 33% less than expected). But why did most foods seem to err in excess? Roberts said it was likely because "package manufacturers are just playing it safe."
"The FDA regulations are much more punitive, much more stringent on underproviding than overproviding," the scientist said. "It's an old style mentality: 'People need to be given what they pay for.' "
Roberts' advice to dieters? Don't starve yourself -- just know what you put into your body. "If you want to lose 10 pounds, you can do it with food. Food is the best way. But by eating at home, you'll have a much easier time."
In any case, if you're eating at a place where "dry toast" earns you 283 calories, you're probably not on the low-calorie bandwagon to begin with.

This monument is listed among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India.
Lake Palace, Udaipur:
Well I must say that it is the most romantic places I have ever visited in India. Built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in 1746, Lake Palace in Udaipur is located in the midst of the picturesque Pichola Lake. This majestic monument renders a breathtaking view to the visitors. The scintillating Aravalli Hills, the lake and the palace together make a perfect and romantic setting that entices even the filmmakers from Bollywood.

Even today, tourists from all over the world visit the ruins of this epochal site.
10.Cellular Jail, Andaman and Nicobar:
Well we all Indians should be grateful to all those who fought for India's Independence. Cellular Jail or Kaala Pani and its stories conjure up an utter resentment against the cruel British rule. Since my childhood, I was curious to know about the famous Kaala Pani prison in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Completed in 1906, the Cellular Jail contained 698 pitch dark cells. A former British Prison, Cellular Jail, is now a memorial of the freedom fighters who were once imprisoned here.
Ajanta and Ellora Caves, Maharashtra:
Ajanta Ellora caves, listed among the UNESCO World Heritage sites, are a set of 29 caves. These caves are the splendid paragon of ancient Buddhist Civilization. There are multifarious paintings in these caves depicting the popular Jataka Tales and other varied fables of Lord Buddha. Filled with paramount tranquility, these caves exemplify the engineering excellence and unsurpassed imaginative power of the bygone era.
Qutub Minar, Delhi:
Whenever you visit the Qutub Minar, you get a feeling that is distinct from the stereotypical tourist destinations. Built by Qutub-Ud-Din Aibak and completed by his son Iltutmish, this minaret complex is bejeweled with ruined monuments and tombs. This colossal tower has five different storey built in Afghan style. This monument was erected by Qutub-ud-Din to proclaim his mastery over vanquished Hindu rulers.
Ruins of Hampi, Karnataka:
Hampi is a place where a history buff feel spellbind among the ruins, or just be mesmerized by the quirks of nature, speculating how thousands of years of volcanic activity and attrition could have turn out in a scenery so engrossing. It was the former capital of the glorious Vijaynagar Empire and now a wonderful tourists spot. Endowed with rock-strewn landscape, these ruins of the bygone era offers an unmatched travel experience to history freaks, travelers, and photographers alike.
Vivekanand Rock Memorial, Kanyakumari:
A famous tourist attraction in Vavathurai, Vivekanand Rock Memorial was built in 1970 in honor of Swami Vivekanand. It is said that Vivekanand meditated on this rock. As per Hindu legends believe , Goddess Kumari performed austerity on this rock. From here, the merger of the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea can be witnessed. This beautiful memorial is a symbol of purity and harmony.

Q: Finding Radius (in Miles) From an Address in MySQL Database - Where to start? I am in the very early stages of creating a simple web-based tool for a client for internal use that can search their existing data of housing options based on certain criteria, one of which being distance from a given point. I will be using PHP and MySQL.
It's basically like an apartment locator.
The searching within a radius is the one thing I see that could pose a problem.  I know this can be done easily if I had the lat/long coordinates already, but as it stands right now, I would have to convert all the addresses, and there are over 100.
The goal is to type in an address and return a list of properties X miles from that address.
Is there a way to do the lat/long conversion on the fly instead of converting all their existing property addresses to lat/long?
If I do need to do a batch conversion of addresses, so be it, but moving forward, is there a way to automate that when adding a new record?
Is there some kind of customizable apartment locator API I could use for this?
I'm not looking for any specific code, just need to be pointed in the right direction to figure out what I need to do to accomplish this.

Q: Prove $1+2+2^2+\dots+2^{n-1}=2^n-1$ Prove the following equation by counting the non-empty subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ in $2$ different ways:
$1+2+2^2+2^3\ldots+2^{n-1}=2^n-1$.
Let $A=\{1,2\ldots,n\}$. I know from theory that it has $2^n-1$ non-empty subsets, which is the right-hand side of the equation but, how do count the left one?
I've proven it using induction but how can i get to the first part of the equation by counting subsets differently?

A: The right-hand side counts non-empty subsets of the set $\{1, 2, 3, \ldots, n\}$.
The left-hand side counts non-empty subsets of the set $\{1, 2, 3, \ldots, n\}$ whose largest element is $k$, $1 \leq k \leq n$.  The number of such subsets is $2^{k - 1}$ since such a subset is determined by choosing which of the $k - 1$ elements smaller than $k$ are in the subset.

A: For the LHS we need to sum

*

*$n$ subset with $1$ elements

*$\binom{n}{2}$ subset with 2 elements

*$\binom{n}{3}$ subset with 3 elements

*etc.

that is by binomial theorem $\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k}a^kb^{n-k}=(a+b)^n$
$$\sum_{k=1}^{n} \binom{n}{k} =\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} -\binom{n}{0}=(1+1)^n-1=2^n-1$$
By direct check note that
$$1+2+2^2+\dots+2^{n-1}=(2-1)(1+2+2^2+\dots+2^{n-1} )=$$$$=2(1+2+2^2+\dots+2^{n-1})-1(1+2+2^2+\dots+2^{n-1})=$$
$$=2+2^2+\dots+2^{n}-1-2-2^2-\dots-2^{n-1}=2^n-1$$
Note that
$$1+2+2^2+\dots+2^{n-1}=(2-1)(1+2+2^2+\dots+2^{n-1} )=$$$$=2(1+2+2^2+\dots+2^{n-1})-1(1+2+2^2+\dots+2^{n-1})=$$
$$=2+2^2+\dots+2^{n}-1-2-2^2-\dots-2^{n-1}=2^n-1$$


As I have written on my Blog before, we are quite the Disney fans in our family. Our kids have gone over 30 times in their short lives. It is largely due to the fact that they have wonderful parents, LOL!, a dad that works very hard for them to have "the good life" and that we became Disney Vacation Club members over 10 years ago.
This trip was a little different for us. For the first time we had the kids each bring a friend. We figured they were finally old enough to experience Disney with a little freedom and allowed them to venture out on their own. Pictured above from left to right: Tina (Alexandria's friend), Alexandria (my daughter), Adam (Casey's friend) and Casey (my son).
We were lucky enough to once again stay in a 3-bedroom Grand Villa at Disney's Animal Kingdom. We had just stayed here this past July, but it was a short trip (3 days) and I had many things going on in my life and although amazing, it didn't quite let it sink in that this was our view from our balcony(s).
Totally AWESOME and AMAZING. I swear I spent a good part of each day just sitting there looking at these animals. WOW, what an experience!
Casey and Adam took a Segway Tour all around Epcot. Although Casey has been on Segway Tours in St. Marteen and San Juan before Disney does not allow it until you are 16--and this time he was! He was a happy boy :) He was, however a little disappointed as you can see in the picture above that "Disney" rules were enforced and safety rules such as speed and keeping your hand firmly gripped were a must--not something he was used to in the islands where they encouraged us to go as fast as we could and put our hands in the air while riding.
And these girls.....well they were ready to get their picture taken at any turn....I'm sure you will be seeing quite a bit of them on my Blog in future projects.
So...that's where I've been. I haven't paper crafted in over 2 weeks.
I did, however, teach myself to knit while on vacation. I have been crocheting since I was in second grade but never learned to knit so I finally taught myself.
Hopefully I will get my act together soon and make something with a few new cartridges that arrived while I was gone.
Maria - love the pics. We are going this month also. My son is so excited!
Can't wait to get back! We are going to be staying at AKL for the first time in August! Great shots and I can't wait to get some just like it!!!
Glad you took some time away with your family.
Congrats on learning to knit!
something to do while watching tv with the fam.
Fun! We stayed at the Animal Kingdom in September and had just about that same view :) I can't wait to go back! I'm finally working on my scrapbook pages from then so you'll see some of my AK pictures too!
What amazing pictures.. wondering what kind of camera you have... sounds and looks like you had a FABULOUS time..
Looks like an amazing vacation, thanks for sharing your pictures! You have a beautiful family!
Forget the other tours in Paris. Segway Tours by http://www.privatetoursinistanbul.com Tours will make your stay in Paris a lot more enjoyable. Out of our 4 days stay in Paris, touring the city on a Segway was the highlight of our trip. I would like to recommend our tour guide Rick, he was able to make Paris a lot more fun, interesting and enjoyable. We saw Paris at a different light with cool facts and trivia. We wouldn't think of coming back to Paris if it weren't for the Segway Tours. Definitely a must try for everyone.

Q: Inflection points of $(1 - x^k) \mathbin{/} (1 - x^n)$ for $x$ strictly positive For $k$ and $n$ reals constants with $1 \leq k < n$, consider the function $f(x) = (1 - x^k) \mathbin{/} (1 - x^n)$, defined over the strictly positive reals ($0 < x$).
I am able to prove that $f(x)$ is decreasing and also that, if $k = 1$, $f(x)$ is convex.
But I cannot handle the case $1 < k$: I believe that $f(x)$ has exactly one inflection point (for $x$ strictly positive), but I am unable to prove it.
Remark: $f(x)$ is related to the gambler's ruin problem.

A: After some more thinking, I can now answer my own question. The key of the proposed solution is Descartes' rule of signs.
Let $h(x)$ be the second derivative of the function considered, that is $h(x) = (d/dx)^2\; (1 - x^k) \mathbin{/} (1 - x^n)$. After some computations, $h(x)$ can be expressed as a generalised (the exponents are not necessarily integers) rational function of $x$:$$
    x^{k - 2} \cdot \frac{
      + \;((n - k)^2 + (n - k)) \cdot x^{2 \cdot n} \\
      - \;n \cdot (n + 1) \cdot x^{2 \cdot n - k} \\
      + \;(n \cdot (n + 1) + 2 \cdot (k - 1) \cdot (n - k)) \cdot x^n \\
      - \;n \cdot (n - 1) \cdot x^{n - k} \\
      + \;(k - 1) \cdot k
    }{(x^n - 1)^3}
$$
The goal is to show that $h(x)$ has, for $1 < k$ and $0 < x$ (both conditions hold implicitly from now on), exactly one sign change.
The denominator of $h(x)$ has exactly one root, at $x = 1$, of multiplicity 3. It can be shown, with L'Hospital's rule, that, up to continuous continuation, $h(1) = k \cdot (n - k) \cdot (n - 2 \cdot k + 3) \mathbin{/} (6 \cdot n)$. In particular, the numerator of $h(x)$ has a root of multiplicity at least 3 at $x = 1$.
The ordered coefficients of the numerator of $h(x)$ (a generalised polynomial in $x$) have 4 sign changes, and thus, according to Descartes' rule of signs, 0, 2 or 4 positive roots, counted with multiplicities. Hence, the numerator of $h(x)$ has exactly 4 positive roots, counted with multiplicities: one root of multiplicity 3 at $x = 1$, and one more root of multiplicity 1 at $x = r$ for some strictly positive $r$ (if $n - 2 \cdot k - 3 = 0$, then $r = 1$ as well).
Since the numerator of $h(x)$ has one root of multiplicity 3 (or 4) at $x = 1$, thus canceling the root of multiplicity 3 at $x = 1$ of its denominator, $h(x)$ remains with exactly one positive root, at $x = r$, of multiplicity 1. That is, $h(x)$ has exactly one sign change (for $x$ with $0 < x$).
Remark: For $x$ strictly positive and big enough, $h(x)$ is positive, that is $(1 - x^k) \mathbin{/} (1 - x^n)$ is convex.
Remark: If $k = 1$, then the ordered coefficients of the numerator of $h(x)$ have only 3 sign changes, and thus, by the same device as above, $h(x)$ has no sign change, that is $(1 - x^k) \mathbin{/} (1 - x^n)$ is convex (for $x$ with $0 < x$).
Remark: The same method can be used to show that $(1 - x^k) \mathbin{/} (1 - x^n)$ is decreasing in $x$ (for $x$ with $0 < x$).


Most business owners would like to believe that things are always running 100% smoothly, but the fact remains that there are always going to be setbacks. While every company will have its periods of upward growth and times for cutbacks, that doesn't mean you shouldn't plan ahead to maximize your business potential. To keep operations running smoothly and all your equipment in perfect working condition, you'll want seasoned professionals striving to do just that. To make your business a success, you'll want your employees ESD expert certified with an auditor training course.
By enrolling your staff in the Stephen Halperin & Associates certification program, you'll be guaranteeing your business with the promise of an active workforce set on saving your company time, money, and stress.

Director's Update and Discussion of Current and Planned FIC Activities
Dr. Roger Glass opened the meeting at 9:03 A.M. He welcomed Drs. Judy Wasserheit, Michelle Williams, and Steffanie Strathdee as new members to the Advisory Board. He thanked Dr. King Holmes for his years of service on the Board. Dr. Lana Shekim gave an update from the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communicable Disorders (NIDCD). She mentioned that NIDCD has a new Director, Dr. Debara Tucci. Ms. Stacey Chambers gave an update from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). She mentioned that NINDS welcomes Dr. Richard Benson to their staff who was a previous Associate Medical Director at Washington Hospital Center.
Dr. Glass attended the 30th anniversary of the Human Frontier Science Program on May 10, 2019 with the help of Ann Puderbaugh. The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine prize winner, Tasuku Honjo, spent two years as a Fogarty Fellow.
Dr. Peter Kilmarx attended the INTEREST workshop also known as the African CROI which was held in Accra, Ghana, May 14-17, 2019. The workshop is designed for training and capacity building. He mentioned that Fogarty traditionally has a strong team of alumni that attends this workshop. The 2020 workshop will be held in Windhoek.
The Fogarty International Center recently published in their Global Health Matters newsletter a recent announcement by Dr. Francis Collins that he will consider speaking invitations based on inclusiveness. Drs. Roger Glass and Peter Kilmarx have also made this pledge.
Dr. Roger Glass attended the 72nd World Health Assembly. He mentioned a Fogarty grantee, Dixon Chibanda, from Zimbabwe, a country where there are fewer than 15 psychiatrists, developed a method to deal with mental illness known as the Friendship Bench. This is an intervention to reduce the mental health treatment gap by using a cognitive behavioral therapy-based approach at a primary care level. They trained lay healthcare workers to provide problem solving therapy sessions in what became a widely published clinical study. This has led to a program in New York City in order to take care of depression. Dr. Glass then went on to attend the World RePORT Network Meeting in Brussels. World RePORT is an open-access, interactive mapping database highlighting biomedical research investments & partnerships from some of the world's largest funders (worldreport.nih.gov). He mentioned that Dr. Bruce Tromberg, Director of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), met with Jeremie Zoueu from Ivory Coast where they had a discussion on biophotonics.
Dr. Glass congratulated Dr. Ken Bridbord for receiving the 2019 Leadership Award from the HPTN Annual Meeting & Awards. Dr. Glass mentioned the HIROs Group, Heads of International Research Organizations, had their annual meeting on the NIH campus. The Fogarty International Center and the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NICDR) took this opportunity to host the annual David E. Barmes Global Health Lecture which was given by Dr. Jeremy Farrar, Director of the Wellcome Trust. Fogarty also hosted the Indian Counsel of Medical Research (ICMR) during their visit to rekindle old ties that were on hold due to abrupt changes at the ICMR and changes with the clinical trials regulations. Dr. Glass met with the Chinese delegation as NIH attempts to continue and reignite activities with China. He mentioned that it is the 40th anniversary of activity starting between China and the NIH through openings in the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Glass mentioned that traditionally NIH has seen very few post docs on campus that are from Africa. In order to address this, NIH intramural labs in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the African Academy of Sciences, established the African Postdoctoral Training Initiative (APTI). The annual FIC Fellows and Scholars Orientation was in July and they welcomed 116 fellows and scholars and 9 Fogarty Fulbright Scholars. There are 14 NIH Institutes that partner in this program. The orientation starts with a two-day course on epidemiologic methods, statistical methods, and research design. This year the program saw its first two neurosurgeons. Also in July, Fogarty had an HIV Research Training at the Clayton-Dedonder Mentorship Fellows Program Meeting.
Dr. Glass visited the UNC Project-Malawi and shortly after getting off the plane found himself in a symposium with a dozen speakers talking about how Fogarty programs and their training have been crucial to their career development. Satish Gopal, a FIC Fellow in 2012-13, helped start up the UNC Center for Cancer Excellence in Lilongwe, Malawi. The First National Cancer Hospital will be put near the UNC Project Annex center where oncology, pathology, surgery, and radiation therapy can be studied. Dr. Rebecca Richards-Kortum, who left the Fogarty Board about two years ago, was the Board's first engineer member. She was awarded the MacArthur Foundation Award to develop her initiative of leading an international team of physicians, engineers and business and entrepreneurial experts known as NEST (Newborn Essential Solutions and Technology Activity). NEST is developing and implementing an integrated package of life-saving neonatal technologies aimed at preventing 75 percent of newborn deaths in Africa. Malawi Polytechnic is the hub Dr. Richards-Kortum uses for developing new devices.
Dr. Glass attended the 3rd Annual AFREhealth Symposium, in Lagos, Nigeria. AFREhealth is an Africa-led effort to improve health education and research in Africa.
Dr. Amit Mistry updated the board on the Health Research in Humanitarian Crises project. The co-chairs are Iman Nuwayhid from the American University of Beirut and Brandon Kohrt from George Washington University, with Dr. John Monahan serving as the Board liaison. The project will be publishing an article in BMJ Global Health in fall 2019. They have also put together a collection of case studies to be pushed in Conflict and Health and BMC Public Health in spring 2020. Finally, the group is partnering with several research partners to institute a Global Forum on Humanitarian Health Research.
Dr. Rachel Sturke updated the Board on the Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Implementation Science Alliance. Dr. Judy Wasserheit is the Board liaison for this project. The project recently held a competition for small funding awards to catalyze long-term sustainable regional or country specific collaborations. They were able to provide seven small grants with four being regional efforts and the remainder being country specific projects. Two additional awards were made; one for the adolescent voice and the other for creating a research toolkit that can be placed online.
Susan Vorkoper updated the Board on the Childhood Obesity Prevention Across Borders: The Promise of U.S.-Latin American Research Collaboration. U.S. scientists and Latin American researchers are attempting to study childhood obesity prevention in U.S. Latino populations. By collaborating with groups across NIH, they expect to cut across all types of disciplines. This is a buildup of a previous project presented in 2017 that will identify key research gaps and find opportunities for moving forward.
Dr. David Spiro presented on FIC's Division of International Epidemiology and Population Studies' recent publications. From the computational volume group there have been 12 publications so far in 2019. In the Clean Cooking Implementation Science Network, the type of collaboration being focused on is clean stacking. Seven new projects have been launched to evaluate clean stacking combinations and to model their scale-up efforts. In another project, FIC is partnering with Pakistan to provide virtual training on YouTube called Biosafety on Demand. There is an upcoming workshop on RSV Genomic Diversity and Development of a Global RSV Intervention on September 25 and 26.
Dr. Barbara Sina discussed the renewal of FIC's Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program. Some basic principles of the program are to create a critical mass of researchers, conduct independent infectious disease research, and to do all of the research training through U.S./LMIC collaboration. Many reviewers of the program mentioned that they like the Heads of Training Program as graduates of that program can go on to teach others how to successfully receive grants. NIAID is a current co-funder of this program.
Dr. Kathleen Michels discussed the program concept for the reissue of the Global Brain and Nervous System Disorders Research across the Lifespan (Global BRAIN). The program supports collaborative research and capacity building projects relevant to LMICs on brain and nervous system disorders throughout life. This program collaborates across 11 Institutes, centers and offices across NIH. In 2017, the global burden of disease estimates expanded the list of neurological disorders making it the leading cause group of disability, and the second-leading cause group of mortality worldwide. The bulk of research grants have been in and from Sub-Saharan Africa. From 2012 to 2019 there were 907 publications. One of the goals is to build up the number of applications coming directly from LMIC scientists. Another goal is to encourage more regional networking, collaborations for D43 institutional research training, and applications in gap areas.
Global Health at Georgetown University
Dr. Glass introduced Dr. Mark Dybul and Dr. Deus Bazira, Co-Directors of the Center for Global Health Practice and Impact at Georgetown University Medical Center. Dr. Glass mentioned Dr. Dybul's role in advancing the PEPFAR program.
Dr. Dybul talked about how Dr. Bazira, who came from Uganda, used to work with Bob Redfield and ran all of PEPFAR's clinical programs. It is predicted there will be significant declines in global health financing from the U.S. government over the next 5 to 10 years. The World Bank projects that there will only be a handful of low-income categorized countries by the years 2020 and 2025. There are signs of governments around the world increasing expenditures on HIV and health related programs. There is a global shift toward building up health insurance standards, but the resources that can be devoted to that effort vary widely by country. There is also a global shift towards building a country's institutional capacity. Countries are looking for training opportunities in management, information systems, logistics, supply chain, et cetera. The U.S. has done a good job building up the hospital systems but still needs to work on delivering innovation at the community level.
Dr. Bazira talked about how even though Dr. Dybul works from a global view he and his team mostly come from the field and they face many of the same challenges. One of these challenges is that Dr. Bazira has seen a cycle where they will go in and develop a team and its systems, but when they do a follow up visit a year or two later there is already a brand-new team in place, requiring them to start training the new one. He mentioned there is a trend where global health financing is reducing but the disease burden is not going up. Money is going into vertical programs with less going into systems or capacity development. They are looking into initiatives that can capitalize on local innovation and interface them with global best practices. There are current institutional collaborations going on, among them the south-south collaboration. There has been a lot of building of infrastructure around labs, but the institutions are still struggling to maintain the lab infrastructure and keep it in place.
The global health field is increasingly looking into collaborative multi-disciplinary research teams. Global health problems cannot be solved only through medical information. People have not figured out how to work together across different disciplines. Getting business schools to engage global health would be a helpful key factor. Lopsided partnerships make research agendas fail. The way a relationship is structured can have an outcome on the research agenda, and one problem is that many countries do not have a regulatory framework in place regarding research. Governments increasingly have placed a reduction in emphasis in international NGOs (INGOs) and have increased their focus on building up partnerships with academic institutions and capacity building, among other areas. INGOs provide services within their own networks which is generally something countries do not want. With funding decreasing, countries will be making more decisions that will involve investing in institution building and relationships with U.S. agencies.
Dr. Robert Einterz asked what the Center for Global Health Practice and Impact and NIH can be doing to help solve the lopsided partnership problem. He also inquired about medical electronic records and their role in supporting the creation of a system for comprehensive health care delivery. Dr. Einterz asked what the Center for Global Health Practice and Impact is doing in the field of community-based solutions relating to integrated healthcare delivery systems. The financing method of universal health care coverage will also involve requiring health insurance for the low-income population, and Dr. Einterz also wanted to know what the Center for Global Health Practice and Impact are doing to solve that.
Dr. Dybul noted that almost every country is starting to implement health insurance and one of the biggest problems countries are attempting to solve is trying to figure out how to have progressive insurance premiums. Countries struggle with collecting taxes and figuring out how to allocate the funds. Dr. Dybul suggested creating a tracker that would show heads of states key indicators in building up and improving a health care system in a country. It is important not to just build vertical level programs but also to incorporate horizontal languages so that they can learn from each other. Structuring an insurance system which requires a lot of regulation, policy, and law is crucial to increasing healthcare.
Dr. Bazira mentioned that as a clinical pharmacist he was required to manage a supply chain, yet his education did not teach him these skills. He talked about working with schools of business, public health, and medicine to help build innovation and management initiatives for their graduates who decide to pursue careers in health management.
Global Health at U.S. Agency for International Development
Dr. Peter Kilmarx introduced Dr. William Steiger, Chief of Staff at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). He mentioned that in 2017 Matt Barnhart, the lead on research at the Global Health Bureau at USAID, did a survey of USAID and NIH staff and discovered 26 active collaborations underway across a wide range of subjects. Last year a memorandum of understanding between USAID and NIH was signed to collaborate on various projects.
Dr. Steiger mentioned that USAID currently has 30 ways to legally engage in a financial arrangement with another institution. There is even one called "other transaction authority," yet almost 80% of the time USAID uses a very traditional contract instrument and cooperative agreement instrument. Congress appropriates about $18 to $19 billion in foreign assistance every year out of which about 40% is allocated for the global health field. 75 institutions were responsible for 60% of spending, with 80 institutions responsible for 80% of spending. A few years ago, the USAID Global Health Bureau moved to Crystal City, which had unfortunate consequences, but they are relocating to the Ronald Reagan Building next month.
Dr. Steiger said that he hopes NIH and USAID can learn from and inform each other even when they cannot collaborate. USAID has been known to spend money on grants to try to scale-up promising technologies that will have an impact in the field. They are also involved in funding operational research, also known as implementation science, along with surveys and tools. USAID will look into World RePORT and becoming involved in that process. USAID will be entering into collaboration with NIH staff to take part in USAID grant and contract review panels.
Dr. Steiger was asked about the future of opportunities for U.S. funded global health research. Dr. Steiger mentioned that global health budgets can no longer be counted on to rise every year, yet it still remains as 40% of USAID's spending. Even in a year where the budget remains the same Congress will authorize more funding for specific programs like ones combatting TB. Dr. Steiger mentioned that USAID will have to learn to use their allocated dollars more efficiently and that they will be relying on local partners more often in the future. USAID is increasingly moving away from paying for service delivery and instead trying to provide a catalytic role helping national governments and the private sector to take over the maintenance and finance of services previously provided.
Dr. Wasserheit inquired about what universities and the Fogarty International Center could do to help in-country ownership of USAID programs. Dr. Steiger mentioned that parts of USAID are already working on this; most notably USAID's Feed the Future Program. USAID has traditionally viewed universities as the "backend monitoring and evaluation arms of consortia." Dr. Steiger mentioned that that is too late in the process and that USAID is trying to gain input from universities in the design and even implementation phases of a program. Dr. Cohen mentioned that the culture of USAID has some serious problems. Dr. Steiger brought up that USAID is grappling with certain cultural problems. The largest problems include rotation cycles where an officer who started with a program is never there when the program finishes and the way in which USAID manages its award.
Advancing Emergency Care Research in LMICs
Ms. Nalini Anand introduced the session on research and emergency care settings in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The purpose for this session was to present the findings and research priorities that emerged from this project and discuss the state of the field of emergency care. Two former trainees from the trauma and injury research program, Drs. Mohamed El-Shinawi and Uzma Khan, discussed their training experiences and challenges.
Dr. Junaid Razzak began the presentation on research and emergency care settings. He mentioned that time is a determinant of health. In 2015 there were over 28 million global deaths due to emergency medical diseases. Ischemic Heart disease, stroke, pneumonia, COPD and diarrheal diseases are the five most frequent causes of death, and almost all of these present primarily at the end stage as an emergency. Bystander care and transport/EMS are often not considered part of the healthcare system which is a huge loss for important data. Just a few months ago at the last World Health Assembly there was a resolution on emergency care systems for universal health coverage.
Ms. Blythe Beecroft talked about some outcomes from the CGHS led collaborative for enhancing emergency care research in LMICs (CLEER). The planning committee determined the scope of the project and focused it on research that improved immediate and long-term outcomes for patients and populations with acute life threatening or potentially disabling conditions. The three factors in their definition of emergency care were: time, with a focus on the first 6 to 24 hours; location, both outside and inside the health system; and type of disease. The participants in the CLEER collaborative were divided into four specific groups: surveillance and data systems; health systems research; clinical and resuscitation research; and emergency care research ethics. In July 2017 the groups convened at NIH with over 40 participants, including emergency medicine clinicians, bioethicists, and pediatricians. The first day of the workshop consisted of group discussions and break out groups, while the second day was devoted to a writer's workshop focused on producing CLEER-related publications. They have continued to collaborate remotely to produce a supplement in BMJ Global Health focused on advancing emergency care research in low- and middle-income countries; this supplement was published in July 2019.
Dr. Mohamed El-Shinawi talked about his time in the trauma and research injury program and said that Egypt started some serious intervention research in 2005 that is supposed to continue until 2021. In 2006 Dr. El-Shinawi had an opportunity to work with scientists from the United States, and in May 2007 he received a grant from the Fogarty International Center for research specializing in injury and trauma. When Dr. El-Shinawi came back to Egypt he formed a program that has over 25 courses and trained over 1,200 physicians. He has built up a group that currently has over 27 projects from different universities in Egypt and Sudan.
Dr. Uzma Khan spoke about her experience in the trauma and research injury program and talked about training in the context of research. She leads the emergency medicine curriculum at her institution and more recently she has been establishing linkages between institutions within Pakistan as well as internationally. Dr. Khan was one of the first participants in the program and she has continued to support a number of current fellows. She has worked on the research methods within emergency medicine and established one of the largest healthcare surveillance and registry systems in the world.
Dr. Jon Mark Hirshon talked about the importance of developing appropriate trauma registries, especially transferring the work developed countries have done to developing countries. It is important to build up an ethical format which is a challenge when doing emergency care research within the United States due to laws like HIPAA. It is often easier to develop innovative systems that are cost effective in other countries due to the infrastructure that is already in place.
Dr. Steve Hargarten introduced several case studies including injury systems or trauma care systems; this is a logical starting point that addresses diseases that affect young, vulnerable, and the disadvantaged populations. In 1966 a National Research Council of the Academies paper paved the way for pre-hospital systems and routine medical systems, and in 1971 the first emergency medicine residency was established in the United States that moved away from siloed care towards patient-centered care. Strengthening emergency care is essential and involves improving EMS with communication systems, coordination, et cetera. A recent NASEM publication also calls for a national trauma care system.
Dr. Jeremy Brown talked about the importance of being able to treat patients with trauma appropriately and said that this will require developing new systems, conducting further research, and creating better practices. Trauma is the leading cause of death of Americans under the age of 44 and yet the amount of money spent on trauma research is low compared to the burden of the disease. He contrasted this to HIV research which receives about 17% more research dollars despite the lower burden of the disease in the United States. There are over 120 million discharges from emergency departments each year in the United States. Dr. Brown said that he receives many questions on how to discharge patients more efficiently and that he would like to study how to accomplish this. The Fogarty International Center has a program initiative around trauma care, but they are not in a position to expand this work to the rest of the NIH institutes.
Dr. Alison Cernich shared some reflections with the group. She mentioned that efforts to prevent or lessen the number of disabling conditions have been a key priority for the past two years. Her Center is focusing on a program to address pediatric trauma and its resulting disabilities that create challenges for families and communities.
Dr. Walter Koroshetz said that the global health topic could bring many institutes together and said that organizations in the United States should not be making decisions about care in Sub-Saharan Africa when the outcomes of those decisions could have huge consequences for those countries. He also talked about working on the pre-hospital setting so that the patient is protected especially in a timely fashion.
Dr. George Mensah mentioned that with many of the projects that his group works on related to prevention, the effects can be very large and also immediate. The ability to get local governments on board is very helpful for sustainability. In the area of maternal mortality due to sickle cell disease, interventions in the acute emergency care setting, if implemented and scaled out, can save many lives.
Dr. Glass asked Dr. Joe Kolars to speak about the Uganda Program. Dr. Kolars mentioned that University of Michigan has been working on emergency medicine out of Kumasi. The effort has involved some MEPI work and has been successful in training emergency department physicians who have then stayed in-country. They have also developed a trauma registry.
Closing Comments:
Dr. Glass spoke about the presentation that he and Dr. Bruce Tromberg gave at the Council of Councils, which was put together with support from Josh Gordon and Patti Brennan. Over a six-month period, they have brought together many people from 12 institutes to talk about data management and data health science, and after this presentation, five additional institutes joined the new initiative. This initiative is known as DS-I and it addresses some of the most compelling problems in global health with a focus on Africa, which has recently seen the underwater sea cable installed and this has helped to connect institutions and other groups together. Four initiatives are proposed: setting up and funding six hubs focused on key problems; establishing data science training programs; forming a group to address ethical, legal, and social implications of DS-I research; and establishing a coordinating center. There will be a symposium that will take place year 1 and year 6 of the initiative. There will also be two symposia: one that starts in year one, and the second in year six after everything is complete. The DS-I initiative received unanimous approval at the Council of Councils.
Dr. Bruce Tromberg gave a presentation on what one of these hubs may look like. He mentioned that the building block of the organization is the research hub. This hub has to have partners from multiple entities like universities, government, private sector, research centers, among others. Each hub should be focusing on a critical problem. He talked about a specific project that uses light as a tool to look at interactions between light and materials. They have the ability to quantify the extent of light scattering and look at it at many different wavelengths, and they are able to do this from the submicron level all the way to hundreds of kilometers, often with LiDAR technology. These processes can be used to find solutions for different types of global health problems. In addition, there would be four Ethical, Social, and Legal Implications (ELSI) centers, with the coordinating center holding a key role within the initiative.
There being no further business, Dr. Glass adjourned the meeting at 3:02 p.m.

Group 65Go to Enboarder
Getting Started and Your Account Settings 💪
Getting Started with Enboarder
Parent and Sub-Accounts
If you want more than one Enboarder account for multiple use cases, we've got you covered!
Written by Chris Jones
If you have a need for more than one Enboarder account (perhaps you would like one account per country or region, or you'd like separate accounts for your offboarding and onboarding experiences), then we can make this happen. Introducing the Parent and Sub-account concept!
After speaking to your Customer Success Manager, this option will be activated for you. Once activated, at the top left of your account, Administrators will see an option to 'Go to sub Accounts'. When clicking on this, you'll be able to either click on an account to log into that account, or click 'Add new' to create a new sub-account.
When clicking on 'Add new', you will be prompted to add an account name, pick which country the account is based in, and choose where you'd like your data stored (Europe, US or APAC).
Once created, Administrators in the Parent account will be able to jump in and out of all sub-accounts using the same 'Go to sub Accounts' option.
Sub-account access for Administrators in parent account
When configuring admin roles, there are 3 access rights that can be given to Administrators in the parent account:
No Sub-Accounts. This means that Administrators cannot view any sub-accounts.
2. Selected Sub-Accounts. This gives absolute control for managing access to any available account & admin permission-level for any selected account by selecting a role.
3. All sub-accounts. This gives simplicity for managing access rights & permissions to sub-accounts (one role for all available sub-accounts)
On top of these admin rights that can be configured in each account, data filters can also be activated to restrict which data can be viewed.
Impacts on workflow content between accounts
Currently workflows, sequences and modules are independent in each account. That means that a change made to content in one account will not update that content in another account. If you wish to push new content to other accounts, contact your Customer Success Manager who will sort this out for you.
Moving workflows from one account to another
If you want to move one or more workflows from one account to another, you'll need to reach out to your Customer Success Manager who will be able to do this for you.
Impacts on data between accounts
Similar to workflow content, data is independent in each account (NOTE: Enhancements will be created in late 2020 to allow data to roll up from all sub-accounts to the parent account). Reach out to your Customer Success Manager if you'd like more information on this.
Benefits and limitations of parent and sub-account setup
When considering whether this type of account setup is right for you, here are some factors to consider:
Workflows are independent, which limits the risk of workflow content being overwritten
The list of workflows in one account will be much easier to manage if you have quite a number of workflows
It can make it easier to manage different use cases (e.g. knowing that all data in one account relates to onboarding, while in another it relates to offboarding)
It can make it easier for different countries and regions to own and manage their experiences
HRIS and ATS integrations can generally be configured to launch specific employee data into specific accounts, often with 1 integration build
SSO admins access can be configured once for the parent account, which will allow login access to all sub accounts on the same server (Europe, US or APAC).
Because workflows are independent across accounts, updates to content requires transfer of content between workflows
Because workflow data is independent across accounts, parent account Administrators will need to go into each account (or have their Customer Success Manager assist) to collate all data
May require extra configuration with integrations, depending on systems used
Allows for much more access for sub-accounts to edit and create their own content, which may limit the ability for head office content control

Severozápadní průjezd také Severozápadní cesta je námořní cesta spojující Atlantský oceán a Tichý oceán přes Severní ledový oceán severně od pobřeží Severní Ameriky. Cesta vede oblastmi Kanadského arktického souostroví a polárním mořem, které je většinu roku pokryto ledem nebo ledovými krami.

Od 16. do počátku 20. století hledali badatelé tento průjezd (vedle Severovýchodního průjezdu) jako kratší alternativu spojení mezi oběma oceány kolem Jižní Ameriky Magalhãesovým průlivem. Severozápadní průjezd se z praktických a ekonomických důvodů neosvědčil jako vhodná dopravní cesta, vhodnější propojení oceánů zajistil od roku 1914 (respektive 1920) Panamský průplav.

Historie

Ve středověku se v Evropě rozrůstaly obchodní styky s dálným východem, hlavně s Čínou. Námořní cesty byly nejvýhodnější, protože lodě dokázaly dopravit mnohonásobně více zboží než obchodní karavany cestující po souši. Nejvýhodnější cesta kolem Afriky byla obsazena Portugalci, a tak se ostatní mocnosti snažily najít jiné cesty do Číny. Někteří pluli kolem světa, kolem Ameriky a přes Tichý oceán, jiní se pokoušeli najít cestu severními moři. Na severu v Labradorském moři byl celá staletí hledaný průjezd souostrovím, jako jedna z možných obchodních cest z Evropy do Číny.

Do 18. století
Prvními mořeplavci, kteří do těchto míst připluli, byli norští Vikingové Leifa Erikssona, kteří přistáli v L'Anse aux Meadows, kde byly v roce 1960 nalezeny pozůstatky po vikinské osadě. Vikingy na cestách zajímal spíše rybolov. O průjezdu neměli tušení. Další cesty do těchto míst se uskutečnily až na konci 15. století. Prvním byl ital Giovanni Caboto v roce 1497, který vplul do Labradorského moře, dále ho kry a ledová bariéra nepustila. Další byl v roce 1576 Martin Frobisher, po něm následovali další mořeplavci John Davis, Jacques Cartier, který doplul k ústí řeky svatého Vavřince, Henry Hudson, jehož výprava zůstala pohřešována.

Ze západu přes Beringův průliv se pokoušel cestu najít sir Francis Drake v roce 1579, který se ovšem dostal jen pár mil severně od Kalifornie. Dalšími mořeplavci, kteří se neúspěšně pokoušeli proplout západním směrem byli Semjon Ivanovič Děžňov a Vitus Bering.

19. století
K zásadnímu posunu v průzkumu severozápadní cesty došlo v 19. století. Výpravě Willama Parryho se roku 1819 podařilo doplout až k Melvillovu ostrovu. Této i dalších Parryho výprav se zúčastnili další významní výzkumníci, John Ross a jeho synovec James Clark Ross, který na výpravě roku 1831 jako první lokalizoval severní magnetický pól.

Dalším pokusem najít průjezd měla být Franklinova výprava z roku 1845 na osvědčených plachetnicích Erebus a Terror vybavených parními stroji. Expedice roku 1847 doplula k Ostrovu krále Viléma, ale skončila smrtí všech členů expedice. Po ztracené výpravě pátrala po další dvě desetiletí z iniciativy britské vlády a manželky Johna Franklina řada polárních výprav. Přestože se žádné výpravě nepodařilo proplout celou severozápadní cestu, přispěly tyto expedice zásadním způsobem k probádání celé oblasti.

První proplutí průjezdu
Poprvé proplout celým arktickým souostrovím a celým průjezdem a tak dokázat, že cesta po moři existuje se povedlo až na počátku 20. století norskému polárníkovi Roaldu Amundsenovi na lodi Gjøa ve směru z Atlantského oceánu k Beringově průlivu. Náročná expedice započala v roce 1903. V zimním období však byla loď uvězněna v ledu, a tak expedice prováděla daleké výpravy s cílem co nejvíce prozkoumat Kanadské arktické souostroví. Objevili dosud neznáme pobřeží Viktoriina ostrova. Kromě toho prováděli různá meteorologická a astronomická pozorování. Po dvou přezimováních se v srpnu roku 1905 loď uvolnila a pokračovala v plavbě mezi ostrovy na západ, avšak u ústí řeky Mackenzie musela výprava znovu přezimovat. Následující rok 30. srpna 1906 dosáhla Beringova průlivu, čímž byl překonán Severozápadní průjezd na jedné lodi.

Průliv dnes
Dnes je průjezd arktickým souostrovím vzhledem k obtížným klimatickým podmínkám dopravně a ekonomicky nevyužit. Cesta je využívána především v letních měsících vědeckými výpravami. Dnes ledy v důsledku oteplování tají a některé světové mocnosti uvažují nad využitím cesty k dopravě ropy z Aljašky, ale na průjezd si dělá nároky Kanada, která tvrdí, že se jedná o její výsostné území a s plány ostatních nesouhlasí. Spojené státy americké však prohlašují, že je to mezinárodní území. Rovněž mezinárodní ekologické společnosti jsou proti záměru vozit přes toto nedotčené území ropu. Poukazují na to, že Kanadské arktické souostroví je téměř neobydlené a lidskou populací nedotčené území.

WORKING CLASS BAND THE 65'S DROPS NEW EP "NEVER SAY NEVER"
by Skope • March 11, 2020
by Nick Christophers
The 65's are the product of their environment, hailing from the streets of New Jersey where they've cultivated their highly original blend of cathartic punk rock and urgent power pop. They have taken some elements bands like the New York Dolls to the Sex Pistols and formed their own unique "fast and furious" delivery. The band consists of Joe Pugsley (guitar, vocals), John Steele (drums), Ryan Struck (bass, backing vox) and Ed Roessler (guitar). The name of the band was founded by Joe Pugley as he explained.
"It's a bit esoteric. I was a Philosophy Major in college and got into a lot of fringe philosophical traditions. Without naming any tradition in particular, the number 65 according to one symbolizes "your greatest self" – so it is a reminder of what to strive for, especially during difficult times – the goal being to be the best version of yourself possible. I'm certainly not claiming to have achieved this; but having it as a reminder helps and conveys a message, even if no one knows what it means!"
The band has been influenced by such acts like Leatherface, The Replacements, Bob Dylan, The Dead Boys, and everything Stiv Bators had done. The music The 65's bring to the stage is an aggressive energy that invokes the influences they grew up with. Their first project "Strike Hard" was released under Dromedary Records. They broke their ground at the club Maxwell's in Hoboken, New Jersey. Soon they would come out with their first video for the single "Walk On Selfishly". Eventually they branched out on their own and began to release music under their own imprint Pyrrhic Victory Recordings. The band has worked with engineer Kevin Lacatena from Homebrew Studios who has kept their sound intact.
For the past ten years the band has played at numerous venues in the Tri-State area not letting up. One of their favorite places since Maxwell's closed has been the Mercury Lounge. They would manage to release three EP's between 2013 to 2017 along with an assortment of singles and collaborations. One individual who they worked with was Rik Mercaldi (of The Subterraneans) who did some lap steel on a track for them.
Currently, the band has a new EP out entitled "Never Say Never" which maintains its signature sound yet infusing a fierce sound that will make you take notice. It was recorded at Homebrew Studio in Sparta NJ with producer/engineer Kevin Lacatena. The band was very busy in 2019 playing at numerous venues. They have new songs in the pipeline that they are eager to work on before hitting the road again. It must be noted they also run their own label and work with other bands to flush out their music as well.
"Working with other bands sometimes may slow The 65's down a bit but to us it is all worth it. We believe in our bands, so we invest time in them. It's "strength in numbers" approach and benefits us all. So, in the next few months, as said, we will be focusing on finishing our recordings, as well as helping our label's bands get their music out and heard as well."
The 65's are a unique band with an entrepreneurial spirit that will only benefit them down the line on their musical journey.

Dianabol is a derivative of Testosterone which is the male sex hormone, best steroid for cutting and strength. Due to its ability to increase bone density and density of connective tissue, it is one of the most effective steroids for enhancing muscle mass. It also improves recovery from anabolic steroids, best steroid cycle for cutting. The use of Dianabol is extremely effective, best steroid cycle for cutting. The dosage of Dianabol is not too high as compared to other steroids which is recommended to athletes. Dianabol can reduce fat and lean muscle mass. This steroid is also helpful for enhancing other muscular properties like strength and mass of your biceps, best steroid tablets for cutting. Although the efficacy of this steroid is excellent, it still needs to be used with care, best steroid cycle for cutting. Dianabol is a popular compound in weight training. This steroid is ideal in terms of its properties in regards to muscle mass, best steroid for fat loss reddit. As it is considered to be a less effective compound, it has a poor dosage which makes it ideal for the users who are in fact looking for it. Testosterone Enanthate Testosterone Enanthate is the most commonly used and effective compound for increasing the mass of the biceps; it is also the only compound which has been shown to improve the metabolic rate of the user. Testosterone Enanthate is considered the best of all the cutting steroids and in fact it has not only seen some research but is recommended for cutting cycles. Testosterone Enanthate is a substance that is an analog of the male sex hormone, best toning and steroid for cutting. It was originally an anabolic steroid which was found to have very good mass-building effects. After being found to be a less effective compound, scientists came up with a more effective compound for this purpose, best steroid when cutting. The anabolic-androgenic steroid testosterone is used in the body as it is an anabolic steroid (creative term which is made up), best steroid cycle for cutting and bulking. When used, Testosterone stimulates the body by helping the cells in the body to make more energy which is ultimately used to gain weight.

Because the amount of testosterone in this compound is so high, it can give many benefits to the user who is trying to gain muscle mass, best steroid for cutting and toning.
Top cutting prohormones
When athletes seek performance enhancing supplements, legal steroids and prohormones are right at the top of their listof concerns," he said. "If athletes aren't willing to put their health first, there's no incentive for them to get their performance on par with everyone else." "My experience with the supplement industry gives me some pause," said Dr. George DeStefano, professor emeritus in the Department of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh and an advocate for the benefits of dietary supplements. "When your body is in such a bad state, and you're competing in a sport where people are spending years putting in hard work and sacrifice just for that chance, it's understandable that people would want a competitive edge, best prohormones 2021. Unfortunately, it's the sort of thing that's getting marketed to athletes and is being marketed to physicians, best prohormone for mass 2021." DeStefano is a long-time advocate for exercise in the treatment of pain and suffers from chronic back pain, as well as for the health benefits of natural remedies. He said he wasn't aware of the study, but he has no concerns with supplementing or taking prescribed drugs in conjunction, top cutting prohormones. For him, this is an ethical question, top prohormones cutting. "We take drugs for things like HIV/AIDS and cancer," he said, best prohormones uk. "We need to take supplements for things like health. They're both legitimate health issues, no question about it, but there's this notion that just because a study is published, that it's a proof of concept that you can sell it and get people to take it. That isn't the case, best steroid cycle for lean mass and cutting. You need more evidence before it becomes a viable product that can cure disease. What we want is a long game." The authors were unable to comment on the relationship between the study and the industry. The study was funded in part by the National Institutes of Health (R01 DA000844 to M, best prohormones 2020.D, best prohormones 2020.) and National Cancer Institute (R01 CA001777 to M, best prohormones 2020.D, best prohormones 2020.), best prohormones 2020.
And here we can see what side effects anabolic steroid users report: The above side effects represent only some of the myriad of side effects that anabolic steroids may lead to. They are not all of them, but a few of them are more prevalent than others. A few of the reasons listed below may apply with some frequency to people using anabolic steroids. Although, there are many other reasons why they may do this, I will concentrate on a few of them: Anabolic steroid users may notice: Anxiety Weight loss Irregular periods Hair loss Depression Toxins build up in the body Pregnancy concerns Depression Mental health issues Weight gain Anabolic steroid users may not notice: Anxiety Weight loss Hair loss Depression Toxins build up in body Depression Mental health issues A big reason why steroid users might be concerned about the "adverse side effects" of steroids, is that these users have a good chance of experiencing them. While not everyone who uses anabolic steroids will experience these side effects, there is a very good chance that they will: See a change in their general mood Dramatically change their appetite Dramatically change their mood Feel confused while going to and from work Severely reduce their ability to pay their bills Dramatically increase their risk for high blood pressure and blood clots Dramatically increase the risk of their developing prostate cancer Dramatically decrease their ability to lose weight Dramatically increase their metabolism Have headaches and a fast heartbeat Lose weight Have muscle wasting (as opposed to muscle gain) Dramatically increase their sex drive Dramatically decrease their sex drive Dramatically increase their desire for drugs or alcohol Dramatically decline their ability to control their urine Reduce their immune system Reduce testosterone Reduce their immunity Toxic effects In most cases, and in many cases, anabolic steroid users are not taking these drugs as a treatment for muscle building or any other health concern. On the contrary, anabolic steroids may have a significant negative effect on a person's health. This is not a new topic, and it has been documented by both medical professionals and a wealth of research in the field. To understand the impact this has on users is a difficult task, but here are a few reasons why I believe steroid users should be concerned Related Article:

Keep your large 2-liter bottles for storing spaghetti. After you wash the bottles, stuff paper towels inside to help draw out the water. In a sunny window, it should take less than an hour.
Making sure the bottle is dry, put in your spaghetti. This takes time, but the result is worth it to me, because it will dispense a serving of spaghetti with just a shake of the wrist. It's easier for me than having to deal with spaghetti from a bag or plastic container. It seems to scatter all over the place.
I often use my two liter bottles to hold my balls of wool by cutting a hole in the side to place the wool in and stringing it through the top to use it prevents the wool from tangling.


Anyone know where I might be able to source a CWKYAB 9355 or equivalent? It's a single-chip microcontroller with PLL and LCD driver used in the Kernow Beta 4100 and Beta 3100, among other radios. I was hoping that the Sanyo LC72322 was the same chip, but it isn't.
I'm guessing someone must know this. It's the CPU in a Midland 38. On the Midland 38 schematic it shows (I think) "CPU / F2327" but the copy I have of the schematic isn't the clearest.
Additionally, anyone have a scrap Midland 38, Kernow Beta 3100 or 4100 chassis off which the CPU could be taken?
Thanks for relying, Chris. I'm not looking to buy a working rig, however, as it would make the repair I'm doing uneconomical. I'm looking to see if I can find the actual part, an equivalent or a scrap chassis to cannibalise.
