Its latest product, News Maker puts your story in the hands of these journalists. It matches your company's news with the reporters who are most likely to care and engage with your content.

The company claims on its website that Sqoop is used by newspapers such as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times and networks including ABC, NBC, CNN, and Fox News.
Quartz Revolutionizes Revenue Model
Mobile-Focused Startup Quartz push aside The Economist and the Financial Times
It's a rare thing for media companies to make money primarily from digital advertising, which is one reason The Economist and the Financial Times have focused so heavily on building online subscription revenue. With the web's vast amount of advertising inventory, media sites have a tough time commanding higher rates. Facebook and Google eat up more than 80% of digital advertising but Quartz has done something even more impressive for a publication financed entirely by digital advertising : It turned a profit and shows that there's a lot of revenue out there for independent publishers.
In 2016, qz.com earned more than $1 million from revenue topping $30 million, a 60% spike over the previous year. Quartz pioneered an oversize format for display ads and sponsored content and a clean design suited to prestige brands. A limit to the number of ad slots, the absence of banner ads, pop-ups and teasers linking to other sites. The site had 12 million unique visitors in February in the United States, according to ComScore. It charges an average of $65(Max in the market) for every thousand ad views
The company is also looking to create new editorial products, like the interactive app it launched last year; get deeper into coverage of artificial intelligence; and expand its sales and creative services departments. Quartz is also projecting greater revenue and profits for this year.
Planning PR
What PR pros can learn from Ad Makers
Back in the day, all PR planning entailed was deciding which news outlet to sell the consumer story, whether a business story would be more suited to the Economic Times or Business Standard. Today there are hundreds of channels to reach audience, fantastic tools to identify insights, target them precisely and measure their impact. PR expands far beyond media relations into digital, marketing and creative, hence proper planners are a must.
Ad agency planners often base their insights on individual findings, comments in focus groups or anecdotal feedback which is not the case with PR. As per Ad agency planners who've tried to make the switch to PR, it seems that disagreements about the value of more anecdotal insight explain many of the cultural clashes. Ad agencies have had 50 years' experience in nurturing planners and integrating their thinking into how they work. Ad clients expect planners to deliver the insight and strategy in pitches. PR pros need to keep investing in specialist expertise, like planning and creative, to stay at the top of the game.
Ruder Finn's RiskSTAT
Social Media App gives Crisis PR a boost
RiskSTAT is a secure, cloud-based resource allowing organizations to identify potential risks in real time, developed by Ruder Finn and RFI Studios.
RiskSTAT is the result of years of crisis management expertise and learning distilled into an actionable, high value system, updated for the social media era on behalf of clients. The simple facts are these: reputation is now a primary global business risk but most companies are unprepared and under-resourced in the event of a problem. In many organizations, there is an illusory perception that crisis management resources, teams and protocols are in place when the reality is the direct opposite. RiskSTAT can paint a highly accurate picture of what risk management elements and assets are present and what are missing. This work also incorporates a significant predictive component, identifying potential areas for future concern and pre-emptive strategy and planning.

GenZennials
Ketchum identifies 'ultra-savvy consumer group'
"Defying the boundaries of their conventional labels, the coming-of-age GenZennial is united by a number of important firsts, including learning to drive, getting a credit card, buying their first car, going to college, getting their first apartment and starting a full-time job. Because of this, they represent a highly desirable consumer audience for brands" said Aaron Berger, vice president and leader of the millennial audience insights area at Ketchum.
While millennials make up an estimated quarter of the world's population, Gen Z contributes $44 billion to the US economy and by 2020 will represent 40% of consumers in the US, Europe and BRIC.
Ketchum's focus on GenZennials follows the agency's previous efforts to help clients market to millennials and members of Generation Z following Ketchum's first tranZition study, which revealed the 15 forces that shape the Generation Z mindset and offered a deeper understanding of how the two generations differ. The agency then applied that knowledge to helping brands evolve their marketing strategy to engage Generation Z.
Four women PR CEOs cater for India's startup brands
1. Nandita Lakshmanan - The Practice
She founded "The Practice" in 2000 at the age of 30 with just Rs 35,000 after her successful stint with Genesis Burson-Marsteller (then Genesis PR). Today, she has over 100 employees. She points out, "My company has been the beneficiary of the startup boom in the year 2000. The startup environment, though, is different from what it was then. Scale is the operative word; founders have work experience and are quitting lucrative jobs to get a taste of entrepreneurship, investors are demanding, even though there is no dearth of capital - the operating environment is tougher and more competitive."
2. Suhasini Ahluwalia Mehta - Stellant Communications
Founder of Stellant Communications and pure Mumbaikar, She worked with Pritish Nandy when he was just starting out. Her curiosity about PR led her to the industry. She says, "Working in the VC and startup space for a while has given a deeper understanding of the ecosystem. We've closely seen the challenges that an entrepreneur goes through the highs and lows and how communication is at the crux of it all."
3. Tejasvi and Purvi - ARKA Communications
Purvi Shetty and Tejasvi Murthy have been in the PR industry for a little over a decade. Tejasvi started her stint with PR at Red Communications and Purvi started her career with brand communications. With a passion for building creative communications strategies for SMEs coupled with Bengaluru's growing startup ecosystem led them to start ARKA in 2015. For them finding the right people is the biggest challenge in the PR industry. Tejasvi and Purvi quote, "It's difficult to find the right people in PR. Since it's a service industry largely dependent on skill and art, it is people-centric."

34.6 OUT! Bowled. Shadab Khan to Blessing Muzarabani. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, inside edge to.
All over in Bulawayo. Shadab finishes it off as Muzarabani chops back onto the stumps to give Pakistan victory by a huge 201 runs. With ball in hand Pakistan were superb and they didn't give anything away from the start. Usman Khan started the free-fall with two quick scalps at the top and from then on Zimbabwe continued to lose wickets. Ryan Murray might remember his debut fondly after finishing unbeaten on 32 and looking solid in the process but he was the only one.
The teams now have a couple of days off before they face-off on the same ground, hopefully the hosts can improve and give their fans a better performance.

President Donald Trump, who has been urging China to apply pressure to North Korea and to act if Beijing doesn't, convened lawmakers Wednesday to brief them on the "very grave threat" posed by Pyongyang.
North Korea is known for its bombastic rhetoric and exaggerated propaganda, but it has ramped out its output in recent weeks as tensions have risen.
During a concert held on April 16 and attended by Kim, a video was broadcast showing missiles arcing over the Pacific and leaving a U.S. city in flames, followed by images of a burning American flag and a cemetery filled with white crosses.
Simiar videos showing successful attacks on U.S. cities were broadcast last year and in 2013.

I was born and brought up in Chandigarh. I've never been in a different city – studied here, worked here. Everything. So since the age of 5 (that's when you gain senses), I've seen or heard about almost everything that has happened here. Be it about the changing seasons, new Governors, renovation of roundabouts, PU elections, landline numbers turning from 5-digit to 7-digit or the latest Dera Sacha Sauda cacophony; I have been here, seen all.
Chandigarh (City Beautiful – as we all know it) has been known for its well-planned infrastructure, clean and green roads, Sukhna Lake, Rose Garden, Nek Chand's Rock Garden, PU Student Center, and Sector 17 Plaza for many many many years (almost since the first stone was laid here).
The city is brimming with new opportunities and an energised vibe flows through its air today. A decade ago, there were some two or three places that would make up for Chandigarh's nightlife (Score, Down Under and maybe one or two more – I don't think there were any others at that time). Today, the scenario has transformed drastically. When you enter Chandigarh from Panchkula, the main Sector 26 square on the right is all about flashes and music. Whether you want to go out for a family dinner, a high-power evening with friends or a lazy beer laden weekend, this place is now a hub for youngsters from across the Chandigarh Tricity. And this is not just about one part of the city, it is everywhere, every corner.
Somewhere in 2005, weekends in the city were all about Sector 17, Gedi Route and a Movie at a single screen theatre. I think it was somewhere in 2010 when the city actually started evolving. This was then that the IT sector flourished in the city, entrepreneurship started gaining importance and media became more active.
Just like everyone loves their city, so do I. And, I strongly believe that there is something special about Chandigarh. Here we say, " Once you live in Chandigarh, you cannot live anywhere else (in India).
So when you are here next, you should know that Lake, Rock Garden and Sector 17 are not the only places to see. I'll lay down a few really cool things that you can do in this beautiful city.
And cafe hopping if you're the teetotaller kinds. Friday evenings and Saturday nights are the best times to go pub hopping in Chandigarh. Some of the pubs to explore are The Brew Estate, Social, Ministry of Bar Exchange, Shosha, Paara, Boathouse, the Great Bear; I can just keep going. If cute, quirky cafes are your thing, try checking out Cafe JCs, Backpacker, Brooklyn Central, Nik Baker's, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, The Hedgehog Cafe, and so many others.
Food and Chandigarh have an inseparable relationship. The food street scenario has immensely evolved and post 5 PM every day, you will see markets flooded with food lovers. You'll find momos counter at one end and a dosa stall at the other. Evening scenes in the markets of Chandigarh are no less than 'melas' (I chose that word on purpose to bring the essence of it before you). Mouth-watering chaats to continental finger food, you'll find all sorts of delicacies here. You can hog all day and not get bored.
I can basically write a Chandigarh street food guide someday with all the intel that I have. Pun intended.
The beauty of living in Chandigarh is that it is a hop, literally one hop, away from the mountains. Resting the feet of Shivaliks, the city gives you the freedom to explore the hills whenever you want. I remember a time when it had become a weekly ritual for me. Shimla is only a 3-hour drive away from Chandigarh. That means even if you are short on time, you can easily do a to-and-fro trip to Shimla in a day. Some other places to visit are Kasauli, Dagshai, Solan and Barog.
Reach Kasauli by 10 AM – Visit the Church, go up to Manki (Monkey) Point, grab a plate of momos and pakoras.
Lunch at Dharampur – so many good eateries to choose from.
Drive back – don't forget to stop by at a roadside Maggi and chai stall (there are plenty – choose the one that offers the best sunset).
From high-end branded outlets to cheap street shopping, Chandigarh is nothing short of a shopper's paradise. We've got lively shopping complexes and flea markets to explore.
If you are a nature-lover, this urban gem has some lovely places for you to cleanse the senses. A morning or evening walk at Sukhna Lake is the first thing to do. There are a few nature retreats in Siswan (a village on the outskirts of the city). You can spend some time here. Also, Chandigarh is famous for its beautiful parks. You can basically pick one every day and still not explore all of them. Nagar Van near Sukhna Lake is a new entrant in the list of places for nature lovers in Chandigarh.
(We've already covered the hills) Another reason why I love the city is that it gives you a window to explore different nearby places. There are a lot of spots around Chandigarh that are 2 or 3 hours away. You can spend a full day or a weekend at these places. If you look closely, you can find some beautiful old forts, nature parks and zoo, nature camps and retreats, luxury resorts – all hiding in plain sight.
A few years back, exhibitions and trade shows would only happen once or twice a year in Chandigarh. That's changed now. Almost every other weekend, you have lifestyle exhibitions, trade shows, food festivals and mini-concerts happening at different corners of the city.
Doesn't all that sound so much fun? Chandigarh's journey from Indian Coffee House to Starbucks has been an eventful one. It is rapidly developing on every front – entertainment, education, and infrastructure. Next time you're here, soak yourself in some of the aforementioned experiences and take back beautiful memories of my city back to yours.

Don't let the unfamiliar processes of taking out a mortgage in Flagstaff scare you when contemplating to buy a home. Given that a mortgage is likely to be the largest debt that you'll ever carry, you can't afford any oversights.
Successful homeowners make smart decisions that see them enjoy every aspect of the home buying process. They create a budget and stick to it, negotiate great interest rates on their mortgages, and settle for fixed, predictable interest rates.
Be approaching the mortgage process tactfully; you make significant strides towards being a happy and satisfied homeowner.
Smart people realize that getting a mortgage is on the first step in the long journey that leads to owning their home free and clear. As such, they don't commit more than a third of their income to repaying their mortgage. You too would be wise to borrow a leaf from their book.
Experts advise that you cap the payments at 30 percent of your income if you have credit card debts or student loans. On the other hand, if you don't have any outstanding debts, you can push the limits to about 40 percent.
Spending a large chunk of your income on housing impacts your ability to meet other financial obligations. You'll have considerable challenges saving for retirement, replacing an old car, or setting up a college fund for your kids. It might leave you to lead a pretty miserable life.
If you find that you're excited by being prequalified for a mortgage, you need to slow down your roll. That is a big step in the right direction, but it's not enough to go on, not yet anyway. The excitement only serves to indicate that you don't have a firm grasp on what the mortgage process entails.
It means that you're one step away from making costly mistakes that could potentially cost you tens of thousands of dollars. It would be wise to take some time to brush up your knowledge to understand how a mortgage works.
You need to realize qualifying for a home loan happens on merit and not by chance. That means you have the power to negotiate terms on the mortgage if you have sufficient leverage.
If you want your potential lender to take you seriously to the point of offering you excellent rates on the loan, you need to put some skin in the game. Putting some money down, preferably about 20 percent of the asking price, marks you as a committed borrower.
The deposit increases your chances of qualifying for affordable interest rates while letting our escape the private mortgage insurance. Low-interest rates save you a considerable amount of money over the life of the loan.
Successfully owning a home depends on getting an affordable mortgage right from the get-go. That means getting the best rates on the market and settling to friendly and affordable terms. Doing so saves you a considerable amount of money over the life of the home loan.

Our first drive of the 2017 GMC Acadia was in the pouring rain in Washington, D.C., ending the day in a downpour so heavy you could barely see the car in front of you on the highway. The rain washed out the off-road track designed to show the mild capabilities of the All Terrain, the new two-row off-road addition to the family of three-row crossovers.
The conditions were in sharp contrast to our subsequent testing of the All Terrain in the high heat of California in August. The crossover underwent the usual battery of tests at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana and then headed to Mojave to be put through the paces in triple-digit temperatures on a high-speed oval, a handling course, an off-road course, a gravel road, and a road loop covering a variety of surfaces.
With more information under our belts, we continue to enjoy the new platform that the Acadia shares with the Cadillac XT5, taking it from a full-size eight-passenger vehicle to a more midsize crossover that seats from five to seven, depending on the trim level. The All Terrain is the only two-row, five-passenger variant and enjoys ample back-seat room as a result, another feature we applaud.
But we bemoan some General Motors carryovers, including a somewhat dozy engine that was more apparent on our test surfaces, a transmission we wish was more responsive, and some old switchgear in an otherwise attractive interior.
Our test vehicle has a price tag of $47,465, and it pairs a 3.6-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
The 2017 Acadia is smaller in every dimension, and weighing in at 4,305 pounds, it sheds about 740 pounds from the outgoing model. The change is reflected in its 060 time of 6.7 seconds and the 15.3 seconds at 92.6 mph it takes to complete the quarter mile. The last time we tested this vehicle was a decade ago. The 2007 Acadia, a full-size crossover weighing in at 5,044 pounds, took a full 8.2 seconds to hit 60 mph and 16.4 seconds to do the quarter mile.
The new Acadia All Terrain is also faster than the 2017 Mazda CX-9 Signature, which took 7.4 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph, or the Touring model, which took 7.5 seconds. And it beats the 2017 Toyota Highlander, which took 7.2 seconds to hit 60 mph and 15.5 seconds to do the quarter mile. But the Cadillac XT5, its platform sibling, posted better times with 6.4 seconds for the front-drive model and 6.5 seconds with all-wheel drive.
GMC's certified fuel economy for the Acadia is 18/25 mpg in city/highway driving. Our testing found the All Terrain got 16.9 mph in the city and 24.4 mpg on the highway for a combined 19.6 mpg.
Moving to a new platform has given the Acadia a much better suspension and improved ride and handling. It sops up uneven surfaces with minimal head toss. Being smaller makes it more nimble and better able to grip the road. It has cruise control, but it does not hold its speed when accelerating down a hill.
Styling is true to the GMC brand. People won't mistake this for a Chevy but may be confused by its new size. The interior is quite handsome with butterscotch seats and dash stitching, but the center stack shows continued raiding of the GM parts bin.
Because the All Terrain drops the third row, it is quite spacious. The second row now folds flat with the pull of a lever in the trunk to reveal a huge, flat load floor. There is ample trunk space with the rear seats up, as well—space that a third row eats up. We also like the twin sunroofs.
But for the buyer who wants some limited off-road capability and prefers extra room over a third row of seats, this is a good daily driver for whatever your lifestyle all seven days of the week.

Final Countdown Book Launch — The World's Most Amazing Publisher!
I had never heard of Strang Communications before the day I got an email from my agent, Jeff Jernigan informing me Strang was interested in "The 11th Demon: Children of the Bloodstone". I was astonished mainly because we sent out the book proposal only two or three weeks before. Who was Strang Communications?
Of course, I went immediately to their webpage and I was very impressed with their huge body of work. But, honestly, I didn't study their site too closely. After all, I was only going to get rejected. Again. My Daddy always said "Anticipate the worst so when it doesn't happen, even the bad stuff seems good." I remember the evening I moved into my sister's bedroom after she got married. I was seven years old and I would not have my very own room! My Daddy showed up with a hammer that he quietly placed on the nightstand by my bed.
"So you can bust out the windows when the house catches on fire." Daddy said nonchalantly and left the room.
I slept with that hammer on my chest all night and I kept waking up to make sure smoke wasn't in the air.
Strang had responded to a query letter and now they wanted to see the book proposal. Jeff and I had put together a book proposal and with my permission he sent it on to Strang. A few days later another email. Jeff said they wanted to see the entire manuscript. Fortunately, the book was finished so I emailed a copy to Jeff and he sent it on to Strang.
Soon, the correspondance was literally flying back and forth. What other books have you written? What other series are you working on? Since you are a doctor, do you have a medical book planned? Tell us about the entire Jonathan Steel series.
That December, 2009 was bad. Very bad. I had herniated a disk in my neck shortly before Thanksgiving and I couldn't sit at my desk and type. And suddenly, Strang wanted book analysis on cometitors, book reviews of the top three competing books for three of my series, detailed outlines of each book in all three series, etc. I had my neck surgery on December 17th and the next day got a request from Jeff for more additional material.
Don't get me wrong! I was ecstatic. It was just in pain. And after the surgery, I couldn't sit comfortably at my laptop because I couldn't look down! But, I made it through the Christmas holidays and then the best email of all came in January, 2010.
Strang wanted to extend a contract to me for the entire Jonathan Steel series. That's 13 books! They wanted to pick up the first two books I had self published and re publish them! I kept pinching my good arm, the one that still had feeling in it. This was the best post-Christmas present ever.
I was getting worried. I knew from my contract Strang wanted the first book rewritten and shortened by June 1, 2010 and I was working feverishly on cutting 30,000 words from the novel without killing the story. But, silence? What was going on?
April arrived and Jeff sent me an email. It's time to go over the contract. We arranged a conference call and it was astonishing. As Jeff and I went over the contract with a fine tooth comb I realize how blessed I was to have Jeff Jernigan as my agent. The previous months had passed in silence for me, but Jeff had been working hard to negotiate the best deal possible for me. And he got a great contract. I cannot tell you how marvelous, how wonderful it is to have Jeff as my agent.
Now, I started the process of learning about speculative fiction in depth. I became a reviewer for the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy blogtour. Soon, I was reviewing books by authors from Strang, now called Chartisma Media through my own imprint, Realms. I read Mike Duran's "The Resurrection". I thought my book was creepy! Then, I read Greg Mitchell's "The Strange Man". I had nightmares for at least a week! Finally, I read Mike Dellosso's "Darkness Follows" and I realized I was in excellent company. For Charisms Media "got it". They were taking a huge risk in publishing Christian "horror" by bringing to Christian ficiton readers the outstanding quality of books I had just read. These books were amazing and now, I was intimidated. I had some big footsteps to walk in!
It has been a long and amazing journey for "The 13th Demon: Altar of the Spiral Eye" from frustration with an industry that did not see the future of Christian speculative fiction to problems with agents to the netherworld of self-publishing. But, God has a plan. In His time, he saw that my book fell into the hands of the right agent at just the right time and the right publisher at just the right time. I am so grateful to Jeff Jernigan. I am so grateful to Debbie Marie Strang, editor for Charisma Media for catching the vision of this kind of fiction.
Now, let's see what happens! Adventure, danger, evil, and redemption await YOU in "The 13th Demon: Altar of the Spiral Eye"!

Afghan Refugees Headed to Nashville, and Tennessee Republicans Have Questions
By Robert Spencer 7:42 PM on October 06, 2021

Four hundred fifteen Afghan evacuees are headed to Nashville, Tennessee, where they're certain to fit right in. However, instead of breaking out the "Refugees Welcome" signs and patting themselves on the back for their commitment to diversity, as any good politician would, Tennessee's Senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty, along with its Governor Bill Lee, all Republicans, have written a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, asking him what steps have been taken to ensure that as these people settle in the state, Tennesseeans will be safe. What's this? American politicians concerned for the wellbeing of their own people? It's practically unheard of in these halcyon days of Biden's handlers' administration, but apparently in Tennessee, some people still care about Americans.
Blackburn, Hagerty, and Lee braved the inevitable charges of "racism," "bigotry" and "Islamophobia" and wrote: "Due to the Biden administration's hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, we maintain concerns regarding strange Americans as well as the plan for refugee resettlement." It's unclear what they meant by "strange Americans." Old Joe Biden? Kamala Harris? Mark Milley? No way to tell, but the part about "the plan for refugee resettlement" was clear. After the disaster in Afghanistan, it's reasonable to wonder if this chaotic far-Left administration has an actual plan to do anything, other than to break down as much as possible any resistance to its increasing authoritarianism.
According to Fox News, the letter goes on to "lay out a number of questions, including what steps the administration is taking to assist U.S. citizens and Afghan allies 'left behind' in Afghanistan." Blackburn remarked: "Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan put terrorists in control and left Americans, Special Immigrant Visa [SIV] holders and applicants, and allies stranded. A very small percentage of Afghans evacuated have proven service to the U.S. military. We do not know who the other Afghans Biden evacuated are, and Tennesseans are demanding answers."
Blackburn stated, sensibly, that immigration officials must "thoroughly vet all Afghans brought into the United States." But it is not at all clear that such vetting is taking place, or that woke Biden administration officials who identify "white supremacists" as the chief terror threat would know an Islamic jihadi even if he was screaming "Allahu akbar" and slicing off their heads. Accordingly, Blackburn added: "While our state is ready to welcome those Afghans who put their lives on the line to serve our country, the Biden administration owes it to publicly inform states like Tennessee before resettling evacuees into our communities."
Fox notes that "in the letter to Mayorkas, Blackburn, Hagerty and Lee went on to press for details on the vetting process of those individuals as well as the timeline for resettlement. The Republicans asked for specifics on how many of those evacuated from Afghanistan and potentially resettling in Tennessee are Lawful Permanent Residents, Special Immigrant Visa [SIV] holders and P-1 or P-2 status."
Related: As Trump Warns of Terrorism From Afghan Refugees, Some in GOP Look for Ways to Welcome Them
That's an important question, especially in light of the fact that back on September 1, according to Politico, "a State Department official said in a private briefing to reporters that 'the majority' of special immigrant visa applicants were left in Afghanistan due in part to the complications of the evacuation, and that he and his team are 'haunted' by the evacuees the U.S. could not get out by the Aug. 31 deadline." That is, the vast majority: Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on September 21, according to The Hill, that "of the 60,000 Afghans who have entered the U.S., nearly 8,000 are either U.S. citizens or residents, while about 1,800 are SIV holders, having obtained visas after assisting the U.S. military."
Blackburn, Hagerty, and Lee asked how Biden's handlers were determining whether "refugee status or parole into the United States is appropriate in the case of a person who is evacuated from Afghanistan," particularly when we have "no additional or corroborating information regarding the person."
They added: "We all ultimately answer to the American public, and the public deserves transparency and information regarding how this resettlement process is working so that they can understand and accurately judge its efficacy."
That is true, but aided by a sycophantic press, Biden's handlers have been able to consign transparency to the dustbin of history. It's unlikely that Mayorkas will answer this letter from the Tennessee Republicans with anything approaching genuine transparency or honesty. Instead, hundreds of Afghans will soon be in Nashville and elsewhere around the country, with no one being exactly sure who they are, and no one held accountable when the inevitable disasters and disruptions begin. The people who would hold Biden administration officials accountable are all their friends and colleagues. In Washington, it's a wonderful life.

5 things for Houstonians to know for Monday, Jan. 18
Inside Texas cold cases: These sisters died together. Nearly 31 years later, their killer was captured.
Yleen and Lillie Kennedy, who were sisters, were killed on March 5, 1984, in their Heights home on East 12th Street.
HOUSTON – Texas has its share of homicide cases that have gone cold.
While some have heated up and been solved when people come forward or evidence is retested, other cases remain on the books without answers for families whose loved ones were lost.
KPRC 2 is taking a look back at the state's solved and unsolved cold cases.
In 1984, two adult sisters were brutally slain in their Heights-area home. The case went unsolved for decades. Then, in 2014, the case finally broke.
On March 5, 1984, Jack Kennedy found his adult daughters Lillie Kennedy, 23, and Yleen Kennedy, 33, lying dead on the floor inside Yleen's blue and white Heights-area home, located at 600 East 12th Street. Both suffered gunshot wounds.
According to investigators, Lillie, who had been shot in the back of the head, died quickly while Yleen suffered at the hands of the killer. An autopsy report revealed Yleen had not only been shot, but was also stabbed, bludgeoned and raped.
During the investigation, police determined the home had been rummaged through and property had been taken.
A neighbor told investigators he observed a man leaving the home, a duffel bag in tow. Suspecting the individual might be a burglar, the neighbor had confronted the man, who claimed his wife had kicked him out of the house. Believing the story, the neighbor permitted the man to walk away.
An extensive investigation was conducted but no suspects were identified. With little to go on, detectives ran out of leads and the case went dormant for decades.
The Kennedy sisters were buried in a cemetery in Halletsville. Distraught by his daughters' slayings, Jack had the word "murdered" etched on their tombstones.
Cold case investigators reviewed the case in 2009 and used samples from Yleen's sexual-assault examination to develop a DNA profile, which was then run through the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), a national database containing DNA profiles of missing persons and convicted offenders, among others. The effort didn't yield any matches and the investigation slowed to a standstill until late 2014, when a man facing charges in an unrelated crime offered to share information about the murders, Reuters reported. The man identified Edmond Degan as a possible suspect in the murders.
Edmond Degan (KPRC 2)
Investigators determined Degan still lived in the Houston area. Forensic evidence obtained from Degan was entered into CODIS and his DNA was found to the match evidence in the case.
In January 2015, Degan was arrested and subsequently charged for his role in the death of Yleen Kennedy.
HPD Sergeant Paul Motard said Degan was originally questioned about the murders, but was not considered a suspect at the time, Reuters reported.
Court records show Degan has a lengthy criminal past. The year after the sisters' murders, he was convicted of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, followed by charges of assaulting a family member, terroristic threat and drug possession.
RELATED: Arrest made in Houston cold case: Man, 57, charged in 1984 killing in The Heights
During a probable cause hearing, prosecutors told a judge that the aforementioned tipster saw Degan shortly after the killings.
"This client told investigators that this defendant returned home with a bundle, asking for a hammer. He then began to beat a revolver into pieces and throw it in a ditch behind a house," a Harris County prosecutor told the judge. "He then lit a fire and burned numerous items in a fire pit, including ladies' wallets and small papers."
Degan was ultimately sentenced to 15 years in prison.
SOLVED: He was shot with his own gun, found dead in a pool of blood on his kitchen floor
UNSOLVED: Teen disappears with 2 men and is found dead a week later, his battered body shoved between rocks
SOLVED: Her nude body was found outside a Texas church. 10 years later, DNA named her killer
UNSOLVED: A young Japanese student strangled, her body burned just hours after partying with friends

Quite a while ago, we needed to exchange some text files with .NET and a DOS application (yes, they still exist!).
Since the .NET app already exchanged text files with other applications using UTF8, we had to reencode those into plain ASCII.
(yes, I am aware there are dozens of codepages we could encode to, we decided to stick with 7-bit ASCII, and warned the client about possible information loss).
A couple of months later, we neede to exchange information with an app doing Windows-1252, and then even later on to a web-app needing ISO 8859-1 (both are Western European encodings).
So I decided to refactor the UTF8 to ASCII conversion app into something more maintainable.
So, each encoding has both a CodePage (which sometimes – like 1252 – is easy to remember) and a name (which – like iso-8859-1 – is sometimes easier to remember).
And then there are some encodings that are used so often, so that they have special functions to create.
Let's move on to the UTF8 to ASCII encoding program.
So, basically the Utf8ToAsciiProcessor does all the work. And that's the thing that I refactored into a few smaller classes.
Lets go top down and dig deeper until we get to the core class.
Then most of the logic is in the DefaultToDefaultProcessor base class, which, besides the virtual methods GetInputEncoding and SetInputEncoding has some more virtual methods that you can override to refine the behaviour even further.
The crux is in the creation of the StreamReader and StreamWriter: that is where the encodings are inserted.
With that, the core is set.
So with all these tiny examples, you have a sound fundament for any text reencoding you want to perform.

As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Many variations of the name Fullers have been found, including Fuller, Fullere, Fullar, Fullo and others.

Les tres obediències i les quatre virtuts són un conjunt de principis morals i codi social de comportament per a dones donzelles i casades al confucianisme d'Àsia oriental, especialment a la Xina antiga i imperial. Les dones havien d'obeir als seus pares, marits i fills, i ser modestes i morals en les seves accions i discurs. Alguns eunucs imperials van observar també aquests principis i els van fer complir en els harems imperials, a les llars aristocràtiques i a la societat en general.

Terminologia
Els dos termes ("tres obediències" i "quatre virtuts") van aparèixer per primera vegada al Llibre d'Etiqueta i Cerimonial i als Ritus de Zhou, respectivament, que codificaven el protocol per a una cultura elegant i refinada per a la civilització xinesa. El protocol, originalment, estava pensat per definir les diferents parts d'una societat harmònica i no com un llibre de regles. Aquest codi ha influït profundament a la Xina antiga i imperial i en altres civilitzacions de l'Àsia oriental, com ara Japó i Corea, tal com es prescriuen els pensaments filosòfics socials d'Àsia oriental fins i tot al segle XX.

Tres obediències femenines
Una dona està obligada a no actuar per iniciativa pròpia i ha d'obeir o seguir amb submissió:

 el seu pare a casa, abans de casar-se.
 el seu marit després de casar-se.
 els seus fills després de la mort del seu marit.

Quatre virtuts femenines
Les quatre virtuts femenines són:

 Conducta femenina.
 Discurs femení.
 Comportament femení.
 Obres femenines.

Ban Zhao (49 - 120 d.C.), la primera historiadora xinesa coneguda, en va elaborar en el seu tractat Lliçons per a dones:

Maine é uma antiga província e condado da França.

O condado de Maine, localizado em torno da cidade de Le Mans, foi, entre 1045 e 1069, alvo de disputas entre os mais poderosos condado de Anjou e ducado da Normandia.

Em 1066, o controle normando de Maine protegia o sul da Normandia de Anjou e foi um fator que permitiu ao duque Guilherme, futuro Guilherme I de Inglaterra, lançar sua invasão bem sucedida à Inglaterra. Em 1069, os cidadãos de Le Mans, revoltados e auxiliados por alguns barões de Manceaux, expulsaram os normandos, e o jovem Hugo V, filho de Azzo d´Este e sua esposa Gersendis (irmã do conde Hugo IV) foi proclamado  Conde de Maine. O poder, entretanto, era de um dos barões de Manceaux, Godofredo de Mayenne, que auxiliou na expulsão dos normandos e que pode também ter sido amante de Gersendis. Hélio do Maine foi conde desta localidade. Filipe II de França anexou o condado de Maine em 1203.

História
Nos séculos VII e IX, existia no Ducado da Normandia o Ducatus Cenomannicus, que vários dos Reis carolíngios utilizaram como um apanágio. Este Ducado foi uma marca que pode ter incluído vários condados incluindo Maine e estendido da Baixa Normandia, até o Sena. Em 748, Pepino, o Breve, então prefeito do Palácio e, assim, o homem mais poderoso da França depois do Rei, deu este Ducado a seu meio-irmão de Griffon. Em 790 Carlos Magno, por sua vez, deu a seu filho mais novo, Carlos o Jovem. Neto de Carlos Magno, seu filho e o futuro Carlos o Calvo Luis, o Gago herdou o título. Até a altura das invasões escandinavas Ragenoldo da Nêustria manteve o título  assim como a marcha neustriano e o Condado de Maine, dado a ele sobre a morte de Gauzfrido por Carlos o Calvo porque as crianças do Gauzfrido eram jovens demais para agir nessa qualidade. Ragenoldo, que pode ter sido o filho de Reinaldo de Herbauges, morreu em 885 lutando viquingues que estavam pilhando Ruão.

O genro de Carlos Magno, Rorgon, foi conde de Maine entre 832 e 839. Na última metade do século IX, Maine assumiu importância estratégica por causa das invasões de Normandia e Bretanha. Filho do Rorgon Gauzfrido, por sua vez, tornou-se Conde de Maine. Ele lutou contra o Salomão da Bretanha e em 866 participou na batalha de Brissarthe ao lado de Roberto, o Forte, marquês franco da Nêustria.

Em 924 o rei Rodolfo da França entregou o Maine ao nobre nórdico Rollo, Duque da Normandia.
Na fronteira com o Condado de Anjou para o Sul e o Ducado de Normandia para o norte, o Maine tornou-se um pomo de discórdia entre os governantes destes principados mais poderosos. Hugo III de Maine foi forçado a reconhecer a Fulque III, Conde de Anjou como seu suserano.

Em algum momento entre 1045 e 1047 Hugo IV casou-se com Berta de Blois, filha de Odão II de Blois e viúva de Alano III da Bretanha. Os Angevinos não queriam que Maine passasse a estar sob a influência de Blois e do conde Godofredo Martel, então ocorreu a invasão de Maine. Mas os normandos não queriam que Maine retornasse para a órbita Angevina, então foram puxados para o conflito. A cronologia exata é disputada, mas é claro que em 1051 Hugo IV morreu e os cidadãos de Le Mans abriram a sua porta de entrada para os angevinos. Anjou acabou com o controle efetivo da maioria do Condado, mas os normandos tomaram várias importantes fortalezas na fronteira Maine – Normandia.

Filho de Hugo IV, Herberto II fugiu para a corte da Normandia (embora alguns historiadores dizem que ele estava sob controle Angevino alguns anos antes) e sua morte em 1062 precipitou uma crise de sucessão.
Herbert morreu sem filhos em 1062 após declarar Guilherme, o bastardo, como Duque da Normandia, sendo assim seu herdeiro. Sua irmã Margarida foi noiva do filho mais velho de Guilherme, Roberto Curthose e Herbert tinha tomado refúgio na corte de Guilherme em 1056, quando Godofredo Martel, Duque de Anjou, invadiu Le Mans.

Enquanto o concelho estava nas mãos dos Angevina, Anjou tinha seu próprio problema de sucessão. Duque Guilherme da Normandia reivindicou o condado em nome da jovem irmã de Herberto, Margarida, noiva de seu filho Roberto Curthose. O outro requerente era a tia de Herbert, Biota, uma irmã de Hugo IV e seu marido, Walter, conde de Vexin.

Guilherme invadiu o Maine a força em 1063 e apesar da forte oposição Fulque IV, Conde de Anjou e de barões locais tais como Godofredo de Mayenne e Huberto de Sainte-Suzanne ele controlou o concelho até ao início de 1064. Biota e Walter foram capturados na tomada de Le Mans. Algum tempo depois morreram em 1063, envenenado, diziam, embora não haja nenhuma evidência para isso.  O controle normando de  Maine garantiu a fronteira sul da Normandia contra Anjou e é um dos fatores que permitiram a Guilherme lançar seu sucesso invasão da Inglaterra em 1066.

Em 1069 os cidadãos de Le Mans revoltaram-se contra os normandos. Em breve alguns dos barões de Manceaux juntaram-se a revolta, os normandos foram expulsos em 1070 e o jovem Hugo V foi proclamado Conde de Maine. Ele era o filho de Azzo d'Este e sua esposa Gersendis, a outra irmã do Conde Hugo IV. Azzo retornou à Itália, deixando Gersendis no comando. O Poder Real, no entanto, ficou com um dos barões Manceaux, Godofredo de Mayenne, que também pode ter sido amante de Gersendis.  Após os ataques normandos em 1073, 1088, 1098 e 1099, Elias I, sucedeu a seu primo, Hugo V, que vendeu Maine para ele em 1092 por dez mil xelins. Sua filha casada Fulque V, Conde de Anjou, que assumiu Maine em 1110 após a morte de Elias. Henri Beauclerc, concordou em reconhecê-lo como Conde de Maine, contanto que ele reconheceu o Duque da Normandia como seu suserano.

Filho de Fulque Godofredo Plantageneta, Conde de Anjou herdou Maine. Quando Godofredo morreu em 1151, ele passou para seu filho, Rei Henrique II de Inglaterra. Desde 1150, Henrique passou a ser Duque da Normandia ele tinha Maine, Anjou e Normandia. Estes territórios tinham o mesmo governante pela primeira vez. Henrique, mais tarde, fundou a dinastia de Plantageneta na Inglaterra.

O Rei Filipe II de França atacou os territórios detidos pelos Plantagenetas, conhecido como Império Angevino, sendo mantido por João Sem-Terra. A perda da Normandia causou o aumento da influência da Casa dos Capetos e, portanto, para a Guerra dos Cem Anos, e o Senescal francês Guilherme des Roches também teve Turene, Anjou e Maine em nome do rei. Em 1331, o Conde de Maine tornou-se um par do Reino.

Após o batalha de Verneuil em 1424, os ingleses ocuparam o Maine, e João de Lancastre tomou o título de Duque. Os ingleses ocuparam Le Mans até 1448 e Fresnay até 1449. Em 1481, Carlos IV de Anjou legada suas terras a Luís IX de França, retornando assim o concelho para a Coroa.

Revolução Francesa
No início, uma parte da população do Maine apoiou a Revolução Francesa que teve lugar em Paris. A extensão do mesmo e a oposição geral dos outros países europeus provocaram uma guerra, o que obrigou as autoridades da nova República francesa fundada a envolver-se soldados para lutar contra seus inimigos europeus. A necessidade crescente de soldados tinha conseqüências ruins no Maine, a sul da Normandia e a parte oriental da Bretanha: os jovens se recusaram a se juntar ao exército e preferido para desaparecer e se esconder. Eles organizaram uma espécie de exército secreto e têm o nome de Chouanneries, o apelido de seus chefes, Jean Cottereau. Com tais chefes, Maine tornou-se rapidamente o centro da contra-revolução Chouannerie. Eles encontraram suporte local em todos os lugares entre os camponeses, que ficaram chocados pela maneira a administração e o exército tratou os sacerdotes e a religião católica romana.

Tempos Modernos
Durante a revolução francesa Maine passou a fazer parte dos recém-criados departamentos de Mayenne e Sarthe, agora incorporados, juntos, na região do Pays de la Loire.

A região do Maine dá nome atualmente ao departamento francês do Maine-et-Loire.

Silence falls in the brightly-lit room. There air is odourless, as perfumes and aftershaves are forbidden. The tasting may already have begun.
This is the scenario that professional coffee tasters often experience when in the midst of their work, choosing the blends to put on the market or judging the quality of the blends in international competitions, like the Cup of Excellence.
The work of a coffee taster resembles that of a sommelier, requiring competence, concentration and training. Because behind every simple cup of coffee, lies an entire world that experts can perceive by focussing on the coffee's appearance, colour, consistency, perfume and taste with notes that range from flowery or fruity, to hints of chocolate or toasted bread in the quality blends – or in the poorest blends, even disagreeable aftertastes like hay or stagnant water.
In just a few sips, tasters must re-live the beans' journey – from the fields to the cup – and indentify the greatest number of elements that make up the coffee's aroma. And what's needed is a great deal of concentration: it doesn't take much to distract a taster and prevent him from perceiving all the details. The environment in which the tasting takes place is of the utmost importance: the room must be light and calm, with no foreign smells or sounds. Tasters mustn't wear any kind of scented cosmetic and even a too-strong toothpaste can be problematic.
During an internationally important cupping session like the Cup of Excellence, nothing is left to chance. But tastings are also an important event for coffee companies, attended by professionals and tasting consultants, and now, tasting sessions for amateurs are gaining in popularity. Regardless of who is doing the tasting or where it's taking place, the basic rules go unchanged: smoking is prohibited before tasting, as cigarettes interfere with the coffee's aroma. It's ideal for a taster to have an empty stomach, either in the late morning or afternoon. Before beginning, between one coffee and another, it's recommended to rinse your mouth with water. Tables should always have bread or breadsticks available, to chew between one coffee and another. And no taster should overdo it: tasting more than ten different kinds will result in sensorial saturation.
Watching a taster carefully, the first thing you'll notice is that he smells the coffee in the cup and evacuate the consistency and colour of the drink, moving the spoon around the cup. Then, he'll take a small quantity of coffee with the teaspoon and have a small sip, making sure to distribute the coffee evenly around the palate, keeping it in his mouth for a few seconds while trying to understand the bouquet of scents and notes. Then he swallows, takes a deep breath, analyzes the persistence of the aroma.
All of the taster's perceptions and comments get written down on a standard card. The very best experts are able to recognize the differences between different kinds of coffee, identifying the various pluses and minuses of each variant: from the cultivation methods (using hormones, for example, that stimulate the plant's maturation and give the beans a bittersweet aftertaste), to the harvesting methods, to the toasting – and even up to the way the coffee is served thousands of kilometers later.

Urban Design Commission discusses downtown Madison's future
By Daily Cardinal Staff and Jen Wagman
February 11, 2015 | 10:10pm CST
Madison's Urban Design Commission discussed a new downtown design proposal this Wednesday, adding to the conversation about the future of State Street.
The meeting opened with a presentation by Bill Fruhling, the principal planner of a Downtown Plan subset, the Comprehensive Plan. The new plan is intended to be a specific design for the State Street and Capitol area geared toward a sustainable future.
Fruhling recognized the need for a careful balance between retail, bars, restaurants and businesses on State Street, something that Mayor Paul Soglin's office has recently been monitoring. Fruhling said market research will be conducted to fully understand the area's trends.
"I think what's going on, in the downtown in particular, is really changing some of the dynamic of this area," Fruhling said.
Soglin's administration has spent the term working to reduce alcohol density in Madison, especially on State Street. Soglin's representatives have appeared before the Alcohol License Review Committee with the common mission of keeping State Street commercially diverse.
UDC debated the merits of a comprehensive remodeling plan of the downtown area. Several committee members expressed concern about the wide scope of the project, fearing that it will not accomplish its goals.
The group noted previous one-year plans that turned into four-year projects and have failed to accomplish all of the original tasks. However, the Downtown Plan organizers said the geographic region is small and that the plan is in its beginning stages, underscoring the importance of its "comprehensive" nature.
Because planning is still in the early stages, the organizers said they would like input from diverse groups, starting with municipal committees. UDC is one of few that have heard from Fruhling so far.
"Because [State Street] is adjacent to campus, and there are so many students in this area and so many new housing units that are being built are student oriented, we're going to be really looking for a lot of student participation as … we go through this process," Fruhling said.
The Downtown Plan's Comprehensive Plan is set to be written in the next couple of months, according to Fruhling.

Kyler Murray Looked 'Sharp' at Cardinals Practice Ahead of Injury Return, HC Says
Erin WalshNovember 25, 2022

After missing the last two games with a hamstring injury, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is set to return on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers following a solid week of practice.
Murray went through his normal practice routine on Friday, and Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters he "looked sharp."
Kingsbury added there was talk about holding Murray out until after the team's Week 13 bye, but he said the veteran signal-caller was "anxious to get back and he feels great."
"I mean, he feels 100 percent. If there was anything less than that we would have maybe waited but he feels full go so we're gonna get him out there," Kingsbury added.
Murray suffered the hamstring injury in a Week 8 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He played through the ailment in a Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks before missing a Week 10 win against the Los Angeles Rams and a Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The Cardinals enter Sunday's game against the Chargers third in the NFC West with a 4-7 record. They are far from competing for a playoff spot and are on pace to miss the postseason for the sixth time in the last seven years.
That said, it's not impossible for Kingsbury's squad to make the postseason, and Murray's performance will be key in whether the team turns things around to compete for a playoff spot.
In nine games this season, Murray has completed 66.7 percent of his passes for 2,168 yards and 12 touchdowns against six interceptions. He has also rushed for 359 yards and two scores.
In addition to Murray, Kingsbury expects wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown to return on Sunday from a foot injury that has sidelined him since a Week 6 loss to the Seahawks.

On November 24, Vice President for Human Resources Lianne Sullivan-Crowley emailed all staff members with the following update about the spring 2021 semester:
In his message to our University community sent earlier today, President Eisgruber announced plans to expand Princeton's teaching and research activities on a limited basis for the spring 2021 semester. These plans include inviting all enrolled undergraduates students to campus who wish to return. The plans also include fully supporting "remote learning for anyone who chooses it. This invitation is in addition to the existing accommodations for our graduate students, many of whom we were able to welcome back to campus in the fall." President Eisgruber noted that the University "cultivated" the strong public health norms and practices during the fall term as well as the monitoring and testing practices we established. Because of that work, he explained "we have concluded that, if everyone on campus rigorously adheres to public health guidance about masking, social distancing and other practices, we can welcome a far greater number of students back to Princeton."
The impact of the pandemic in New Jersey, and specifically on colleges and universities, continues to be fluid. We remain committed to keeping you informed of relevant developments and decisions that enable your departments to plan their operations and help you to adjust personally. As we have said before, protecting everyone's health and safety aligned with state and federal guidance continues to be our top priority and will remain as the cornerstone of our decision-making process.
This memo provides information that staff and departments should reference in planning for the upcoming spring semester. In addition, we will hold a staff town hall meeting on Friday, December 4, to discuss the impact of today's announcement on campus operations and answer questions. Additional information about time of day and registration is forthcoming.
Planning for Resumption: We anticipate that, in some instances, more staff will be needed to work on campus with greater regularity as we look forward to welcoming undergraduate students back to campus. However, to continue to limit the spread of COVID-19 on campus and safeguard members of our community, the University's expectation remains that all work that can be reasonably performed remotely must continue to be performed remotely so that campus does not unnecessarily re-densify. In the interest of public health, we must keep the number of staff on-site to only what is required to meet operational needs.
Departments that are student facing and anticipate resuming or expanding on-campus activities for the spring semester should begin now to determine their corresponding operational and staffing needs, taking into account careful consideration of which jobs will require an on-campus presence and by when.
Department managers will begin to be contacted by the On-campus Resumption Review Team during the week of November 30 to share the new streamlined spring semester resumption plan template and process. Student-facing departments within Campus Life, Facilities, the Graduate School, the Office of the Dean of the College, and University Services will be reviewed first, followed by academic units. We ask all other units to maintain their current status until after February so we can prioritize the student-facing departments. The dean for research, dean of the faculty, and dean of the graduate school will send additional relevant information next week to academic departments.
When developing plans for the spring semester, departments must follow the updated guidance, policies, and protocols that are available on the Princeton COVID Resources website with the goal of limiting the spread of and/or exposure to COVID-19.
Where we require staff to resume their work on campus based on the requirements of the work and their roles, managers will, whenever possible, provide affected individuals with four weeks notice to plan for their transition and return to Princeton's on or off campus workplace. Senior HR managers are available to assist departments.
Health and Safety Measures: For the spring semester, we are continuing to utilize the health and safety operational measures we implemented earlier this year that all employees must understand and follow. These include:
Meanwhile, you should continue to follow the guidance you have received previously, which includes:
If you have been working on campus, you should continue to do so as directed by your managers with approval from your cabinet officer or academic chair or director.
If you are working remotely, you should continue to do so unless otherwise directed.
If your circumstances require your occasional or intermittent presence on campus, you must seek and obtain approval from your managers who will then seek approval from your cabinet officer or academic chair or director, as appropriate. For instance, if you need to be on campus to complete a specific task or project, you will need prior approval. At all other times, you are expected to work remotely.
If your job requires your physical presence on campus, either on a regular, occasional, or intermittent basis, you must comply with all related policies and procedures that the University has issued or will issue.
In spite of the pandemic fatigue many of us are feeling, we must persevere to be accountable personally by observing the University's policies, guidelines, and procedures designed to protect the health and safety of all of us in our campus community. If you have any compliance concerns, please direct them to your manager or your senior HR manager.
Additional Information: Refer to the University's website, HR's website, and the Princeton COVID Resources website. Anyone with questions can email HR. Refer to our Spring 2021 Campus and Workplace Operations webpage often, as we will update it as we learn new information.
As we have new information about the evolving public health environment in New Jersey and the country as a whole, how state and federal directives affect our own policies and procedures, and how the plans for undergraduate or graduate instruction may impact you and your departments' activities, we will share it with you.

Newspaper House is a public art installation: a "house" of newspapers. The public will be encouraged to collect newspapers they find lying around on the tube, bus, streets, public spaces, in their homes and bring them on location. Sumer Erek will lead the public to follow his instructions: including their personal news within the newspaper, rolling and adding it to the structure, hence contributing to building the house." It is now under construction in Gillett Square, and is being filled now for its official opening on March 8.
"We all believed that moving into the digital era would diminish the use of paper. On the contrary, there seems to be a resurgence of printed material and newspapers, much of it free and everywhere - yet we don't think much about where paper comes from and where it goes after we've used it."
"Newspapers pile up in our houses, lie on the streets and on public transport. The issue is not likely to disappear ; we must find creative ways to deal with it. We are urged to consume without thinking about how to discard. The first step is inviting people to think about and value the material itself, and to consider the issue of "waste".

KURNIAWAN,, Kurniawan and SUGIYANTO, Sugiyanto (2010) ANALISA TRANSIENT ROLLING CONTACT DENGAN APLIKASI SLIP PADA SILINDER ELASTIS MENGGUNAKAN METODE ANALITIK DAN METODE ELEMEN HINGGA. Undergraduate thesis, Mechanical Engineering Departement of Diponegoro University.
Transient start rolling was an interesting phenomenon commonly occurs in mechanical engineering, but still rarely discussed. Transient, in engineering design, should be considered due to its relation in tangential force, friction, also time and distance. Transient prediction would be very usefull in designing of precisionly engine components and relatively moving apparatus, because the transient periode could has significant effects in material destruction due to velocity differences between two contacting bodies. As a studying example, it's learnt about transient rolling contact conditions with parallel axis cylinder. The analysis concerned to observe the traction distribution phenomenon, also slip and stick region formation. Transient condition was simulated on model with an applied controlled slip, resulting tangential forces. Analitycally prediction has done with considered literature and two-dimensional modelling using Finite Element. The observation resulted a comparation between analitically results and Finite Element results on parameters rolling distance and traction distribution, with approximately 0.5% in differences.
