From the earliest days of my marriage, both my husband and I had life insurance. You never know what can happen in life and we wanted our children to be cared for in case of disaster. It isn't easy to talk about our own demise and most people are very uncomfortable discussing these issues, however, there are many good reasons to take the plunge and get life insurance today, especially if you are a parent. This became even more important to me when my husband and I divorced a couple of years ago. Most agree that life insurance for parents is very important.
There are many companies that offer life insurance. And there are all sorts and types of life insurance policies out there so it is essential that you do your homework and be sure that you are getting what you and your family truly need. It may even be helpful for you to talk with a financial planner or insurance agent for advice on what your family would benefit from most. For our Australian readers there is a company that offers a variety of options, SunCorp Insurance. You may want to take a look if you are researching life insurance options. Regardless of where you live there are so many reasons for parents to have life insurance.
Okay. I have a bit of a funny story. Hope you don't mind but since this is such a serious subject I just have to tell it! A while back when my divorce was almost final I decided to check out burial expenses and such so that I could plan out just how much life insurance I might need. I made an appointment with a local funeral home and went in to talk with one of their consultants. She was super nice but she kept kinda staring at me during our appointment. We discussed caskets costs, burial procedures, and all of the services that the funeral home offered. I was so interested in what I was learning but I wondered why the woman kept staring with this sad, wide eyed expression on her face. I was about to excuse myself to go check my face in the bathroom mirror and see if something was hanging out of my nose! But she had finally had enough. She asked me how long I had. Pardon? How long do I have for what? OHHHHHH!!! She thought I was there planning my own funeral because I was dying of some horrible disease and that I didn't have any family that loved me to come with and help! Bwahahahahahaha!!! She was so relieved when I told her that nothing was wrong and that I was just trying to make a plan for my kids in case something did happen to me. Later in the appointment I found out that a basic funeral would cost at least $15,000.00. FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. That's a lot of reasons to have life insurance folks. She also told me that I was the first person to come in and talk to her that wasn't a)Over 60 or b)suffering from a terminal illness. She has been doing this for more than 12 years! I think that demonstrates just how much we do not want to confront our own mortality.
If only one of you survives then insurance becomes a life line for the surviving spouse. It could mean something as simple as being able to help with a college fund for each of your children or even something as important as putting food on the table for everyone. It might even mean that a stay at home mom could be with her children at home for a little bit longer before she had to return to work or allow a working dad to get help around the house so that he could really devote himself to the kids when not at work.
There is always the possibility that both of you could be in some sort of accident and your children would be left without parents. What then? Life insurance would allow your children to be taken care of, sent to college, and/or left with some sort of fund to start life. This brings up the necessity of having a will. But that would be a whole other post so I won't get into it now. However, having a will is essential IF you want your desires carried out upon your death. That is very important to me, which is why I have a will and have thoroughly discussed the details with my parents, sibling and children so that everyone is fully informed.
If you have any other debt (other than the massive funeral expenses your family will be faced with) life insurance can also be an amazing gift to your children. A policy should be large enough to pay any outstanding debt in order to protect your children and family from the responsibility for paying those bills.
Some people want to make sure that the mortgage is fully covered so that a surviving spouse and children will have a place to live. I'm not sure this is a priority for me but it would be nice if you could afford that amount of coverage.
There are some fairly stringent rules in order to qualify for life insurance. The older you are the more expensive it gets but the biggest risk is future illness. If you do suffer from a terminal illness at some point it will be too late then to obtain the coverage that would be so helpful to your family. This uncertainty alone should prompt you to seriously consider life insurance now rather than later.
It does give me peace of mind to know that I have a small life insurance policy. It will cover my funeral expenses, Eva's college if she were still in school, and leave a little left over for each of my kids. They are both young adults and it makes me happy to know that if I can't be with them physically that I can contribute to their future in a small way. Insurance is affordable, at least term insurance like I have is, so you should check it out. You may be pleasantly surprised by the rates!
Do you have life insurance? A will? Why or why not?
Next Post > Clay Today Interview!
Being a parent really has some additional responsibilities and getting your own life insurance can be one of those responsibilities.
You never know what could happen, so getting one can help you feel more secured in life.
So true Mark. It wasn't until I became a single mom that these types of things became truly important to me. I shouldn't have waited so long to make arrangements for life insurance.

Q: Kotlin extension not recognized in adapter I have basic extension util for picasso:
public val Context.picasso: Picasso
get() = Picasso.with(this)

public fun ImageView.load(path: String, request: (RequestCreator) -> RequestCreator) {
    request(context.picasso.load(path)).into(this)
}

And when I try to call it from imageview context in adapter it's not recognized.

Same thing with itemView.context.picasso
Thanks!

A: I'm pretty sure your extensions are out of scope (in a different package).
Import your extensions like so:
import your.package.picasso
import your.package.load

Take a look at the docs for more info.

So we've been open thread sparse this week. I'm sure everyone has been busy, but the ol' Odeck's just been slow in general. Let's pick some things up people!
I am a huge proponent of minor characters getting their time to shine. My favorite used to be Scott Lang. I say used to because, well, he's not so minor any more, is he? But I thought he was a great blend of wits and a unique power. Add his criminal background, his fatherhood and what I felt was some great leadership potential, I loved Scott. And look at him now! He's up on the big screen, finally getting his due.
So who was your favorite minor character that you felt deserved a bigger spotlight?
THURSDAY TALES ROLL CALL THE RETURN!!!!

Is Replicating Workflow Manager repositories also create replica of DB and sync ?
1. This replication also replicate and sync the changes of the database from parent repository to all child node ?
where different location shows different database. If every repository has its own database then how jobs will work that created in one child node pointing to its local database and now sync to other nodes ?
Can someone help me understand ? I need to distribute some jobs in two locations and also like the database will sync between them, so that those two databases always keep same.

We have been developing interactive media apps for use by the public in spaces such as trade shows, retail stores, museums and events for over 14 years. We have developed for new technology platforms as they have arrived on the market.
Nowadays apps for tablets and all-in-one touch PC's are very popular. We develop apps for these systems as web apps, which mean that the app can operate across a number of devices. Non of our apps are operated with a keyboard and mouse, so even if a web browser is operating an app of ours, the user will never know. We take care to ensure that the user interface is designed for continual year in year out story–telling or delivery of information.
Omnitapps supplies a variety of multitouch software solutions. Omnitapps entirely eliminates the need for any programming — enabling more user-friendly workflows within any multi-touch environment. A configurator makes it even easier to create stunning custom graphical interfaces.
These days you definitely need to be more interactive with your audience, whether it's a one-on-one pitch or a presentation to a large gathering to a trade show stand. With the wide range of all in one touch systems and tablets now available, we have made it easy with our new Video Touch app to have your key videos on display.
their details using the virtual keyboard on the touch display. They may wish to have a link to a pdf sent to their email address. Or enter a prize draw on a trade show stand.
A key issue with the View and Record App is that is saves a huge amount of entering data after events into systems. And visitors can get fulfillment instantly with pdf's available to them right away. Think of the saving on fancy paper brochures at trade shows.
We also develop custom-made software for interpretation and telling stories, often times for touch systems for museums and tourist site exhibits. We also supply and develop software that controls exhibits; audio, video and lighting. For example, new types of exhibits in museums work on reactive media. A person walking by the exhibit triggers an audio track, video or changes in the lighting.
Today's leading mapping (2D) and earth view (3D) technology, Google Maps and Earth – was released in April 2010. We saw an opportunity to create a new App for use on touch displays in public spaces. We developed a world first Google application for the PC, "Our World 2D & 3D App" (Our World). Our World is designed to be used on a large touchscreen in trade-shows, museums, showrooms and by presenters at conferences and meetings.


In my last blog post, Back Pain: It's Time To Ask Why, I discussed yet another new approach to relieving back pain: mindfulness-based stress reduction which addresses the symptoms of back pain, but, like most other approaches, does not address the cause.
When it comes to back pain, many people find themselves without answers or a long-term solution to help them live life pain-free.
Have you ever found yourself asking: Why does my pain keep coming back? Why do I feel as though I'm falling apart? What am I doing wrong? Why can't my doctor get rid of my pain? What should I do now? Is something wrong with me? Is this what aging feels like? If so, Hanna Somatics can help you answer these questions.
The answer to most muscle pain lies in learning about Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA) and how it develops in the brain and manifests in the body, and learning about pandiculation, the safe and effective alternative to stretching that resets nervous system control of muscles and movement memory. The truth is that most muscle pain is the result of our habituated responses to the myriad stresses of our lives.
How can I learn more so that I can live pain-free?
The Move Without Pain Fundamentals Immersion Course focuses on the core principles of Hanna Somatics: the science, philosophy, techniques, and Somatic Exercises. It is an excellent introduction to this highly effective, yet simple method of neuromuscular movement education and pain relief. In addition, there will be group discussion and plenty of time for questions (and answers!) about Hanna Somatics and how to address your particular muscle pain condition.
The Fundamentals Immersion Course is for anyone and everyone interested in Hanna Somatics - no prior experience or training necessary!
Hanna Somatics is not just for those with chronic muscle pain.
Most people who seek me out have been suffering from years of muscle pain without finding a long-term solution. Some people come to me with no recurring muscle pain - they feel pretty good, but want to learn to keep it that way. Hanna Somatics gets to the root of most muscle pain and the gradual stiffness that many people experience as they get older.
These five benefits are something that can improve the quality of life for everyone - not just people in pain. You will learn to restore precision, efficiency, and skill in your movements, through improved proprioception and internal awareness, so you can create a base of control, strength, coordination, and balance. Reducing muscle pain is simply an added benefit.
Who can benefit from Hanna Somatics?
Come and experience a renewed awareness within your body and learn to transform the way you move for the rest of your life.


Evergreen Walls supplied and installed hanging greenery in the outdoor seating area of a commercial building in Sydney, New South Wales.
Evergreen Walls met the 'green' design brief of the client by supplying several greenery products during the refurbishment of a restaurant in Toowoomba, QLD.
What's trending in retail fitout design?
In the highly competitive retail industry where brands fight to attract, capture and retain the customer's attention, it's important for stores to invest some effort to make their products stand out in the crowd.
Plant walls are trending in modern design as a go-to solution for introducing the green element into home and office interiors.
Green walls are trending in indoor and outdoor design across Australia, brightening up office reception areas, adding interest to restaurants and retail facades, and bringing apartments to life.
Contrary to popular perception, decorating your home or office needn't cost a lot of money.
Living green walls are beautiful, bring natural vegetation back into urban areas, and even increase oxygen and reduce heat-sink effects.
Indoor plants are an excellent addition to any interior decor plan as they enhance the design aesthetic as well as keep the air fresh, healthy and free of toxins.
Fire safety is an important consideration in any commercial facility, be it an office, retail store, warehouse or hospitality venue.


So I haven't been doing as well as I was in the past month so its been hard. Today I actually was so surprised at how I felt throughout the day. I didn't sleep well last night and I ended up being at school all day. I usually have break so I can nap, but I didn't today. I also had to give a 25 minute presentation and I did really well!! I thought I was gonna get so sick from going to school from 9 to 5 but I did pretty well. Anyway hope you all are having a good week. It's been hard to blog because its been so hectic but hopefully after next week I'll have more time to step back and take a breath.

Q: Telegram bot parse user's phone number using Ruby? I am trying to get a Telegram bot to request a user for his/her number and perform an operation on it.
Telegram::Bot::Client.run(token) do |bot|

    case message
    when Telegram::Bot::Types::CallbackQuery

        chat_id: message.chat.id,
        text: 'Unknown command.'
        )
    end
  end
end

I am able to get the Contact object, but how do I access the phone_number field of the object? Using Ruby wrapper for Telegram bots.

A: I fixed this issue by setting a temporal variable to the Contact object before querying its phone_number field. Not sure if this is the intended interaction, but it works.
Telegram::Bot::Client.run(token) do |bot|
  bot.listen do |message|
    if sender = message.contact #Set a variable to the Contact object.
      if sender.phone_number == "11111111"
        bot.api.send_message(
          chat_id: message.chat.id,
          text: 'Phone number received.'
          )
      end
    end

Simply stated, "Method" acting is acting "real" by using experiences and impressions from the actor's own life to create the parallel experiences and impressions of the life of the character onstage.
Lee Strasberg described the results of this approach by stating that "conventional" acting comes out to you, the audience, and "shows" you, and "demonstrates" to you. ["Method"] acting demands that you, the audience, go where it is going, so that you not simply understand what the character is experiencing, you also experience it.
For those interested in understanding the "Method" as taught by Lee Strasberg, the book on the leftreproduces the original teachings of Strasberg in actor training, for the very first time. It is a stunning document in the history and ongoing practice of Strasberg's Method.
Training in the fundamentals of Relaxation, Sense Memory, Concentration & Imagination, the actor begins the lifelong process of using himself to breathe life into the fiction of the play, as his inner awareness and artistic sense of truth develop with time and experience.
Tension is the actor's greatest enemy. Strasberg devised an exercise which helps the actor identify unwanted tension in the body, including mental tension, then release that tension through an act of will. Until an actor is properly relaxed onstage, he cannot express in purest form the thoughts and emotions which propel his character through the events of the play. The importance of relaxation is proven repeatedly in the workshop.
The actor must learn to make his senses respond onstage as they do in real life. Strasberg's Sense Memory exercises were developed to help the actor strengthen his awareness of how the senses affect him in life. Only when the actor believes that what he is doing on the stage is real, will the audience also believe that what he is doing on the stage is real. Sensory exercises help the actor learn to concentrate on specific "objects of attention" (determined from the logic of the play) and to overcome "moments of difficulty" in his life onstage.
Although by simply executing a Sense Memory exercise - taking a cold shower - the actor pictured at left might appear as though he had suddenly discovered his entire family brutally murdered.

I was on saturday 17th of june in Dessel at the Graspop Metal Meeting & I saw once again Deep Purple as Headliner of the day. No doubt about it, it was a fabulous GIG. I saw Purple many times but this time it was extra ordinary! OK, we can discuss about the setlist but for me one thing is very clear, Deep Purple is awesome! With their ages , they blow still everyone away.
Also the press is very possitive "oldies but goldies". If this was the last concert in Belgium, well this was really a great one!
But with the energy & the technologie they plaid, I can hardly belief that they will stop playing.
It's impossible to belief but these guys are so good & their smiles are so great…go to see them, it's unbeliefable but thrue!
probably a stupid Purple fan?

« The (last) Stuttgart Show?
I say purple 16 or 17 times. It's true the concert was good, But in my opnion the crowd was also amazing.
But to be honest, I saw the ' now what ' tour four times, and it's rather the same than this tour.
Four example, when they play 'strange kind of women, Gillan says at the end ' exactly word for word',….
Steve Morse, and we took pictures. Don Airey was there too.
It was short about 10 or 15 minutes but I can't complain, they did what they had to do, and I left with a good feeling.
And then afterwards a good concert. Surely a dat to remember.
I was there too. Allow me to focus on only one point here: Gillan's voice.
I saw a dozen or so gigs at GMM on Saturday and – I hope I am not too biased here by saying that – Deep Purple really put the rest in shade.
After the first songs I could not resist asking myself "what happened to Gillan's voice?" Well something must have, as I have not heard him sing so good for years maybe even a decade, maybe more.
In general of course I understand age etc, but I think that Gillan's voice has been the weakest link in Purple's performance for ages. But – and this is the reason why I post a comment now which I normally don't – I must tell I was blown away by his performance this time. It is not only the power and punctuality coming back but it seemed to me that he started to use a much broader stylistic toolkit in his singing (I never heard him so bluesy and melodic). Hats off!
Ps.: I saw Iron Maiden a few months ago, good show but poor Bruce suffered throughout – irritating slithering falzettos even in midrange. Maybe just a bad day.
Maybe it is still very hard to function right after being almost dead due to cancer which he did beat?

Q: What is client.setConnectTimeOut & client.setReadTimeOut? Can someone please explain why one uses this client.setReadTimeOut and client.setConnectTimeOut timeouts? I am using the same with my Jersey client. I have set a timeout of 5 secs for both connect and read. And for testing purpose I have put a thread sleep in my service for 6 secs. I get a timeout exception but after that my service resumes and gives response as normal. My requirement is to set a timeout for the service to respond and if it is passed it should come out and try again. Also I need to set number of attempts the client should try to connect. Please suggest

A: You client times out after 5 seconds not having heard back from the server and throws a timeout exception as designed. It has no idea whether the server started processing the call or will later on.
When you server wakes up from its sleep, it also has no idea the client timed out. You could check the status of the connection but it'd not be very reliable.
You client may catch the timeout exception and retry the call as many time as you wish. If your concern is about the same server call being executed more than once, then you have to implement you resource method to be idempotent.

\section{Introduction}
String theory results suggest that extra $U(1)$ models \cite{Langacker:2008yv} can be strong
candidates to extend the Standard Model (SM). This led us to develop the MiAUMSSM
\cite{Anastasopoulos:2008jt}, in which the anomalies
related to the extra $U(1)$ are cancelled by the Green-Schwarz (GS) mechanism, thus letting the
new charges unconstrained. An alternative version of this model which admits
spontaneous supersymmetry breaking can be found in \cite{Lionetto:2011jp}.\\
We have already studied the phenomelogy of this model using cosmological
constraints, such as WMAP data on Dark Matter \cite{Fucito:2008ai,Fucito:2011kn}. We have also
studied the radiative decays of the Next to Lightest Supersymmetric Particle
in this model \cite{Lionetto:2009dp,Fucito:2010dj}.\\
In this paper we aim to use the asymmetry to investigate the detailed properties
of the $Z'$, the new gauge boson associated to the extra $U(1)$ by fixing the charges. We also
develop a method that, given the experimental data, can confirm or discard the model
in consideration. This method is based on the use of different definitions of asymmetry at the
LHC.\\
At the LHC \cite{LHC} cuts on the parameter
space have to be performed. Each possible cut leads to a different definition
of asymmetry at the LHC. In the paper we choose some of these definitions to
make our calculations. We will add further details on their explicit form in the
related section.\\
The article is organized as follow: in sec. \ref{sec2} we briefly review the properties of
the model that we are going to use, in sec. \ref{sec3} we discuss the four definitions of
asymmetry that will appear in the following and the related calculations.
In sec. \ref{sec4} we show our results.

\section{MiAUMSSM \label{sec2}}
Our model \cite{Anastasopoulos:2008jt} is an extension of the MSSM with an extra $U(1)$ gauge symmetry.
The charges of the matter fields with respect to the symmetry gauge groups are given in table 1.\\
Gauge invariance of the model implies that only three of the $U(1)$ charges
are independent.
We have chosen $\QQ$, $\QL$ and $\QHu$ without losing generality.
 The anomalies
induced by this extension are cancelled by the GS mechanism, so there are
not further constraints on the charges.\\
We are going to evaluate the asymmetry of the process $pp\rightarrow e^+e^-$.

\section{Four asymmetries at the LHC \label{sec3}}
The initial LHC state ($pp$) is symmetric. This implies that the total
asymmetry at the LHC is zero if we integrate over the whole parameter
space. However the partonic subprocess $q\bar{q}\rightarrow e^+e^-$
is asymmetric. To keep this asymmetry we have to impose  kinematical cuts.
Each possible way to perform these cuts leads to a different definition
of asymmetry at the LHC.\\
In this work we use the four definitions of asymmetry described in \cite{Zhou:2011dg}:
\begin{equation}
A_{\rm{RFB}}(Y_{{e\bar e}}^{\rm{cut}})=\left. \frac{\sigma(|Y_{
e}|>|Y_{{\bar e}}|)-\sigma(|Y_{ e}|<|Y_{{\bar e}}|)}{\sigma(|Y_{
e}|>|Y_{{\bar e}}|)+\sigma(|Y_{e}|<|Y_{{\bar
e}}|)}\right|_{|Y_{{e\bar e}}|>Y_{{e\bar e}}^{{cut}}}
\label{arfb} \end{equation}
\begin{equation}
A_{\rm{OFB}}(p^{\rm{cut}}_{Z,{e\bar e}})=\left. \frac{\sigma(|Y_{
e}|>|Y_{{\bar e}}|)-\sigma(|Y_{e}|<|Y_{{\bar e}}|)}{\sigma(|Y_{
e}|>|Y_{{\bar e}}|)+\sigma(|Y_{e}|<|Y_{{\bar
e}}|)}\right|_{|p_{z,{e\bar e}}|>p^{\rm{cut}}_{Z,{e\bar e}}},
\label{ao} \end{equation}
\begin{equation}
A_{\rm C}(Y_{\rm C}) = \frac{\sigma_{ e}(|Y_{e}|<Y_{\rm
C})-\sigma_{{\bar e}}(|Y_{{\bar e}}|<Y_{\rm C})} {\sigma_{
e}(|Y_{e}|<Y_{\rm C})+\sigma_{{\bar e}}(|Y_{{\bar e}}|<Y_{\rm C})}
\label{ac} \end{equation}
\begin{equation}
A_{\rm E}(Y_{\rm C}) = \frac{\sigma_{e}(Y_{\rm C}<|Y_{
e}|)-\sigma_{{\bar e}}(Y_{\rm C}<|Y_{{\bar e}}|)} {\sigma_{
e}(Y_{\rm C}<|Y_{e}|)+\sigma_{{\bar e}}(Y_{\rm C}<|Y_{{\bar e}}|)}
\label{ae} \end{equation} The first two asymmetries are defined in the center of mass
(CM) frame. The forward-backward asymmetry $A_{RFB}$
\cite{Langacker:2008yv,Langacker:1984dc,Petriello:2008zr,Cvetic:1995zs,Dittmar:2003ir,Godfrey:2008vf}
has a cut on the rapidity $Y$ of the $f/\bar{f}$ pair (in this work
$f$ is an electron), while the one side asymmetry
$A_{O}$ \cite{Wang:2010tg,Wang:2010du} has a cut on $p_{z,f\bar{f}}$, the longitudinal component of the fermionic
pair momentum. The other two asymmetries are defined in the lab frame.
The variable $Y_C$ is the pseudo-rapidity $-\log(tan(\theta/2))$: in this case the kinematical cut is
on the angles of the outgoing particles with respect to
the beam direction in the lab frame. The central asymmetry
$A_C$ \cite{Ferrario:2009ns,Kuhn:1998jr,Kuhn:1998kw,Antunano:2007da,Ferrario:2008wm} is
calculated integrating in the angular region centered on the axis othogonal
to the beam, while the edge asymmetry $A_E$ \cite{Xiao:2011kp} is defined in the complementar region.\\
\section{Calculations and results \label{sec4}}
We calculate the value of the cuts that maximizes the significance of each definition of asymmetry, then
we use these best cuts to evaluate the asymmetries in different ways, i.e. as a functions of two
free charges keeping the third fixed to $0$ and as a function of the three charges. We have set
the mass of the $Z'$ boson at $1.5~TeV$ to permit a direct comparison with the results of \cite{Zhou:2011dg}.
\subsection{Optimal cuts}
As shown in \cite{Zhou:2011dg} the asymmetry magnitude is not a good
function to optimize the observable. A better choice is, instead, the
statistical significance:

\be Sig \equiv A \sqrt{\mathcal{L} \sigma} \ee where $A$ can be any of the
previously defined asymmetries, $\mathcal{L}$ is the LHC integrated
luminosity, which we take to be $100~fb^{-1}$ and $\s$ is the total
cross section.\\
In figure \ref{4sig} we show the results associated to the significance for
all the asymmetry definition that we use in the \textquotedblleft on peak \textquotedblright
region, that is $M_{Z'}-3 \Gamma_{Z'}<M_{e^+e^-}<M_{Z'}+3 \Gamma_{Z'}$.\\

\caption{Significance of the four definitions of asymmetry as a function
of the corresponding cut for for on-peak events}
\label{4sig}
\end{figure} The best cuts are those that maximize the significance.
We list them in the table \ref{bestcuts}

\begin{table}[h]
 \centering
\begin{tabular}[h]{|c||c|c|c|c|}
 \hline & $A_{RFB}$ & $A_{O}$ & $A_C$ & $A_E$  \\
 \hline \hline Best cut & $Y_{f\bar{f}}^{cut}=0.4$ & $p_{z,f\bar{f}}^{cut}=580~ GeV$ & $Y_C=0.8$ & $Y_C=1.4$ \\
 \hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Best cuts for
the on-peak $e^+e^-$ asymmetries}
\label{bestcuts}
\end{table}
\subsection{Asymmetry calculations}
Using the best cuts we have studied the dependence of the asymmetry from couples of the free
charges. There are three possibilities for the couples of the charges: $Q_{H_u}-Q_L$ ($Q_Q=0$),
$Q_{H_u}-Q_Q$ ($Q_L=0$) and $Q_L-Q_Q$ ($Q_{H_u}=0$). For the sake of brevity, in figures
\ref{a1cp} and \ref{a1cp1} we show only the plots obtained keeping $Q_L=0$.

\caption{Results for the asymmetries with $Q_{L}=0$ for the best cuts. The
left image is $A_C$, the right image is $A_E$}
\label{a1cp1}
\end{figure}
\subsection{Charges constraints}
To impose constraints on the charges, we have calculated the asymmetry dependence from the three charges.
It turns out that the asymmetries are rational functions of 4th order in the charges, so we
use the following fit function:
  \be
 A=\frac{\sum_{i,j,k=0}^n a_{ijk}(Q_{H_u})^i(Q_Q)^j(Q_L)^k}{\sum_{i,j,k=0}^n b_{ijk}(Q_{H_u})^i(Q_Q)^j(Q_L)^k}
\label{AQi}
\ee with $i+j+k= n\le 4$.
We have calculated this expansion for the previous four asymmetry definitions that we have considered
so we have them expressed as a functions of the charges. We do not show here their complete expression,
that can be found in
However, if a deviation from the asymmetry associated to the SM asymmetry is discovered,
this expressions can be used as a system of four equation of the three variables $Q_{H_u} $, $Q_L$
and $Q_Q$. Solving this system using the experimental values of the asymmetry will give constraints on
the charges and a consistency check of the model.
\section{Conclusion}
We have studied four different definitions of asymmetry at the LHC, namely the forward-backward, the one-side,
the central and the edge asymmetries in the channel $pp\rightarrow e^+e^-$.\\
To perform this study we have written a numerical code that finds the value of the cut that maximizes the
significance of each definition of asymmetry. After that, we have calculated the value of the four asymmetries
as functions of couple of charges, keeping one of the three free charges of our model fixed to $0$.\\
Finally, we have calculated the functional dependence of the asymmetries from the three charges using an
expansion in rational functions. If an asymmetry of this type will be found at the LHC this expansions could
give constraints on the free charges of the model.\\
So we have completely characterized the asymmetry of the MiAUSSM with a procedure that can be replied for every
other model of physics beyond the SM.

NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports that Jake Locker has the inside track to be the starter for the Titans.
This isn't surprising, given his knack for making plays shown in his insertions into the lineup last season.
While watching Nate Washington make his case in April against the Titans signing Peyton Manning, I got a strong indication of a Locker starting nod when I saw Nate equate Locker to Matt Hasselback as both QB's they could win with. If they are both QB's they can win with, then it's obvious Locker should probably start since he's far from peaking while Hasselbeck is 36.
With the strides Chris Johnson and Nate Washington have made this offseason, with new weapon Kendall Wright and with a defense that looks like it will need the offense to keep scoring, Locker would be a great fantasy pick. He picks up quite a bit of rushing yards as well, likely totaling over 550 in a full season.
Matt would likely retire, or be traded for a 7th rounder (or get cut). I don't think he wants to be a back-up in Tennessee and I don't think the Titans want to pay him the money due to be a back-up.

The Irish singer/songwriter returns
Sep 17, 8:00pm
September 17, 2016 · 8:00pm
Irish musician Declan O'Rourke returns to Tellus!
Declan O'Rourke
Supported by: Ken Griffin, IAC, and Culture Ireland.
Declan O'Rourke was a latecomer to the Dublin singer-songwriter scene. A native of Dublin, when he was ten years old his family upped sticks to Australia for a few years before returning to Dublin, where O'Rourke spent the remainder of his adolescence. Despite having a keen interest in music and singing from an early age, it was during his teenage years spent in Melbourne that he first got hold of a guitar. O'Rourke was exposed to a different cultural aesthetic at this point which, coupled with his own well-formed cultural identity, may account for his unique style of melody and melancholia.
Back in Dublin, his mid- to late-teens were a fun-filled stretch of busking and Commitments-like first bands, occupied by, he remembers, "endless rehearsals and charity gigs." Somewhere along the way he accidentally stumbled on a brand new, never-before considered concept: writing his own songs!
The plan, however, was interrupted once again by his lust for life, and so he followed his older sister back to Australia. His life back then was captured, not just figuratively, between creativity and cement: as he slowly honed his craft as a songwriter, he worked by day on building sites. His hands became, "more calloused by guitar playing than by manual labour," he laughs. By the time he was twenty-four, having still never played his own material to a live audience, he felt it was time to scratch the songwriting itch or forever regret it. Back to Dublin, then. Somehow, home soil felt like the right place to start.
Within a month, upon discovering Dublin's bustling songwriter open-mic circuit, Declan found himself mixing and trading songs with the likes of Paddy Casey, Gemma Hayes and many other Irish singer-songwriters. "I went to as many open mic nights as possible and just played anywhere I could," he recalls. "And it went on from there. Every step up was an achievement. I was always looking at the next step ahead of me and really enjoying it. It hasn't stopped since."
In 2004, Declan released his debut album, Since Kyabram. He regards the comfortably haunting debut as little more than a collection of songs and an introduction to the different styles he subsequently intended to use. "I was also trying to break the moany singer-songwriter myth – I definitely didn't want to be put into that category."
Such was the critical and commercial success of the album in Ireland that it opened the doors for him internationally, earning him plaudits from the likes of Paul Weller and Jonathan Ross, each of whom were rapturous in their praise of Declan's deep-honey voice and astute song writing abilities.
His follow-up album in 2007, Big Bad Beautiful World, easily consolidated his appeal in Ireland as well as with his growing list of well-connected champions. Support slots followed in the UK and Europe to the likes of Snow Patrol, Teddy Thompson, The Cardigans, Paulo Nutini, Badly Drawn Boy, Divine Comedy and Paul Weller, and before too long major labels started calling, siren-like, for his signature on the dotted line. O'Rourke has since been through the major label mill and come out the other side – smiling (eventually!), we're glad to say.
"I had a great relationship with the people who worked with me on the first two records," he admits. "I'd been reading for years about people having control of their own music, so I felt it was time to start. I'm sure I've made the right decision."
He's a free man, then, with a free frame of mind, and a new record label he can, quite literally, call his own. And on his new record label he releases his third album and first independent offering, MAG PAI ZAI, which sees him maturing as a songwriter in ways he would, most likely, have never thought possible.
Word is getting out, slowly but very surely, about Declan O'Rourke's songwriting skills. Don't be the last to find out.
Here is a video from one of Declan's previous visits to Lancaster when we brought him to St. James Episcopal Church and he gave the U.S. debut of his song "Mile 59," about the story of Duffy's Cut. Joining him on stage are choirs from Lancaster Bible College, Music for Everyone, St. James, and the community.
Ken Griffin
Irish musician Ken Griffin has been living in New York for the best part of two decades now. During that time he has had a couple of periods playing with bands, such as Kid Silver and Favourite Sons, but he has been mostly getting by as a bar man.
"I think very few bands survive that kind of total commitment," he says with a bone dry laugh, "and madness that we had at the time. When you get into the studio whoever pushes themselves harder kinda gets their say and I decided to push myself pretty hard on that album. So I ended up pretty isolated in the band. And it was clear we weren't going to survive. I wanted to move to New York and the guys wanted to stay in Dublin, so… "
Taking their cue from the dense production methods of acts like Public Enemy, Rollerskate Skinny ran counter to the prevailing mid-90s orthodoxy of Britpop. The reputation of their albums Shoulder Voices and Horsedrawn Wishes has only grown and Griffin's revelation that alternative takes exists of a handful of songs from the latter album will only serve to excite fans as the 20th anniversary of the album approaches next year.
Griffin is promising nothing. Right now he is immersed in his latest project August Wells, a two-piece comprising Griffin on guitar and pianist John Rauchenberger. Over songs that are stripped-down, wistful sounding and replete with strings and French horns, Griffin's bruised vocals tell tales of heartbreak and regret.
Griffin initially planned for the album to be self-released but his friend and fellow New York resident Graham Finn, a former member of Cork bands Emperor of Ice Cream and Bass Odyssey, suggested he try Cork indie label FIFA Records.
Rauchenberger's musical interests stem from experimental classical music and bebop jazz and Griffin takes delight from his total lack of interest in or knowledge of contemporary music from the last forty years.
"It's kinda like playing with Thelonious Monk or something," Griffin surmises. "I'm playing like three chords and singing and there's this mad genius in the corner. It's just a very exciting experience for me to feel pushed so I feel like I have to push my lyrics, push my voice. Push what I'm good at or what I think I'm good at and just leave the musicianship to him."
It could be a winning combination.

Supreme Court: Commission ruled with anti-religious bias in wedding cake case
By Eva Lloréns Vélez on June 4, 2018
SAN JUAN – The U.S. Supreme Court sided Monday with a Christian baker from Colorado who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple for religious reasons.
In a 7-2 decision, the justices reversed a Colorado Civil Rights Commission's ruling that Jack Phillips violated the state's anti-discrimination law that bars businesses from refusing service based on race, sex, marital status or sexual orientation.
The top court said the commission's decision showed "hostility" toward the baker's religious freedom. The decision did not tackle the larger constitutional question of whether businesses can use religious grounds to reject same-sex customers.
It was not immediately clear what implications the decision could have outside Colorado, but it paves the way for others to follow suit.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion, and justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.
In Puerto Rico, New Progressive Party Sen. María Milagros Charbonier introduced legislation last year that allowed individuals to avoid following a specific rule on religious grounds. The legislation, House Bill 1018, was approved by both chambers but was vetoed by Gov. Ricardo Rosselló.

A civil lawsuit was filed against Dr. Alan Emamdee and the facility he worked at by 12 of his former patients who accuse him of sexual abuses and assaults. The lawsuit was filed in the First Judicial District of New Mexico.
The complaint claims Emamdee exploited his trust with his patients by committing sexual misconduct and abuse and that he forced them into situations where alleged sexual abuse took place. The plaintiffs are seeking an unspecified amount of damages.
Emamdee was arrested in July on accusations of six counts of criminal sexual penetration in the first degree (by use of force or coercion) and five counts of criminal sexual conduct.

Almira allows the airline to build up a DOC register by defining expense elements reflecting their suppliers' contracts. Elements are user-definable and the system sets no limit on the number of elements that can be defined and they may also be categorised. The user defining an expense element shall also be responsible to link the element to the related expense and accrual accounts within the airline's financial system.
Although Almira can be used as a standalone application, it was designed to interface with the airline's financial system. Almira can be customised to interface with any financial system that runs on a relational database.
Almira is capable of interfacing with multiple external systems to synchronise existing data, thus eliminating input duplication. For example, when a new DOC supplier account is opened in the financial system, all its relevant information is immediately available to Almira through a seamless interface. Similarly, direct operating costs and flight statistics can be transferred to the financial system according to the airline's requirements.
With regards to the allocation of non-DOC items, input may be done either from the financial system or from a text file. The system, based on specified conditions will allocate the costs/ revenue over to the operated flights. In this way, a clearer picture of the organization's profitability may be obtained.


Wednesday we were at Willows for KS1 Mini Games which saw 4 schools attend including, Derwent Primary, Royal School for the Deaf, Brackensdale Primary and St Georges Primary. All of the schools played different games including, Basketball, Handball and Dodgeball.
Thursday afternoon we were at Moorways for Primary Rounders which saw 19 teams attend including, Chellaston Juniors, Cavendish Close Juniors, Dale Primary, Lakeside Primary, Silverhill Primary, Village Primary, Brookfield Primary, St Peters Juniors with 2 teams, Royal School for the Deaf, St James Juniors, Walter Evans Primary, Chaddesden Park Primary, Ravensdale Juniors with 2 teams, Mickleover Primary, Markeaton Primary, Redwood Primary and Meadow Farm Primary. All of the teams played lots of games in 3 groups and then the winners played each other, St James Juniors were the winners overall.


Who will win Stage 9?
Finally, we have a stage that will help decide the final destination of the Yellow Jersey for 2018. This is not a stage where you can win the Tour, but it is certainly a stage where it can be lost, as skinny GC riders need to tame 22km of cobbles on their way to Roubaix, over fifteen separate sectors, as part of a short-but-hard 156km stage.
Two races will develop: to win the stage, and the race to lose the least among the GC contenders. The first will be contested by veterans of Classics like Paris-Roubaix: current champ Peter Sagan, Greg Van Avermaet, and Niki Terpstra. Dark horses include Jasper Stuyven and Yves Lampaert. Our money is on Sagan for the win* – with GvA nearby but not quite fast enough from the small group that will reach the finale – a smattering of Classics specialists and GC contenders (Watch Vincenzo Nibali – he loves this stuff). All of that could be moot, if Quickstep come out fighting – they have more Classics winners than any of the other squads, so Gilbert could be there, with Terpstra, Bob Jungels, Yves Lampaert and one or two others, and with numerical advantage, and experience, they will be hard to beat. But not impossible, hey Peter?
*Please note the Patriotic SideBet Option: Julien Vermote. Team DiData really needs a win, already!
