Alex Reinhold, Head of Global Supply at Sociomantic - Shares Insights
PerformanceINhttps://performancein.com
Mark Jones20 Oct 2015
Our profile feature takes a look at some of the global professionals working across performance marketing, shedding light on the varying roles and companies across the flourishing industry. This week we're turning our focus to Sociomantic, and its head of global supply, Alex Reinhold.
Alex Reinhold
Job title and company:
Head of global supply, Sociomantic Labs.
In one sentence, how would you describe what the company does?
Sociomantic is a programmatic media-buying platform that optimises advertiser performance across the full funnel.
What are the company's unique selling points?
Sociomantic has maintained a pure programmatic approach to media buying since placing its first real-time bid in 2010. Its proprietary tech, which incorporates a supply quality score into its bidding algorithm, leverages advertisers' CRM data with other first-party data assets to deliver personalised dynamic ads for retargeting, prospecting and loyalty campaigns.
Within the last six months/year, what stands out as the company's major milestones?
Plenty! Next to setting up shop in China, the biggest e-commerce market in the world, Sociomantic has shifted a lot of resources into innovation. The Sociomantic AppKit was launched; it's a seamless end-to-end solution for advertisers to integrate, launch and target mobile campaigns. Moreover, as a 100% programmatic player, we have largely scaled up our portfolio of programmatic direct deals as part of the Sociomantic Direct project, granting our advertisers the best possible access to inventory. This happened in close collaboration with the world's biggest ad exchanges and SSPs.
Finally, very recently, we launched the Sociomantic Supply Quality Index (SQX) which factors SSP/Ad Exchange quality into our bidding by rating our partners based on three measures – transparency, performance and inventory quality. Sociomantic is the first programmatic buyer to assign a quality score to bids in real time.
Duration in current role:
1.5 years total at Sociomantic, 4 months in current role.
Berlin.
Previous performance marketing-related companies you have worked at:
Google.
What are your main job responsibilities?
I head up Sociomantic's supply team. We work with more than 40 ad exchanges and SSPs directly. As part of this, my main responsibility is to work in close collaboration with our partners to ensure we buy the highest quality and most transparent and performance-oriented inventory available on behalf of our advertisers. This part of the job requires taking a fine toothed-comb through quite a few creative pitches, which - I can't deny - can be really fun. On top of that, Sociomantic is always open to new players with innovative business models that could potentially promote our advertisers' interests in the long run. Although we're currently outgrowing the start-up label, we're very keen on forging partnerships with the next backyard-born champion–one that's about to disrupt the entire industry (we keep our eyes peeled, so beware!).
Finally, our global supply team is strongly focused on maintaining a direct relationship with our publisher partners, ensuring access to the best programmatic inventory available.
Take us through what you get up to on a typical working Monday:
Mondays can be taxing – but we all know that. My first order of business is to sift through e-mails. They tend to pile up over the weekend as we work across numerous time zones, what with Sociomantic spread across 17 different countries and with some supply partners based in remote regions. After making sense of my inbox, I review our SSP and ad exchange partner performance to verify that everything worked out properly over the weekend. Since our engine is built for programmatic, we rarely encounter problems on our side though there are scattered occasions when we reach out to our partners if things need mending on their side. By Monday afternoon, I get up to speed with the international supply team. Coordinating a suitable meeting time has been difficult; at present 3:30pm CET is the only possible time even if it's already way past working hours for some on the team.
I suppose these are all technically typical Monday tasks, but there's hardly ever a typical Monday, is there?
What top three websites can you be found browsing during your lunch hour?
I usually try to have lunch with colleagues from other departments – it's a great way to gain the insights needed to maintain a holistic view of the company. I'm not going to lie, the challenge is getting them to agree to have lunch with me…but I digress. If I'm to spend lunch at my desk, then Facebook, AdExchanger, German news site spiegel.de and a sad sandwich keep me company.
What are your top three tips for someone looking to get their hands on a job like yours?
At Google, I was responsible for managing a group of young, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed newbies. I had sketched out 11 points to help guide them as they furthered their careers, and I still stand by these. The first rule being, learn as much as possible at all times. It's impossible to succeed in fast-moving businesses (or any other organisation) without that constant thirst for knowledge. Agility in acquiring this knowledge is also key. The last of my 11 tips was to, in turn, teach as much as possible. I don't abide by 'elbow culture' within an organisation – acquiring skills and knowledge is at least as important as sharing them. Finally, my favourite rule sits somewhere in the middle of this list and goes along the lines of "leverage your strengths, manage your weaknesses." Nobody is perfect. Being aware of your skills and understanding when to ask others for help is essential – not only in a business sense.
Career-wise, where do you see yourself in three years' time?
I've probably been asked this question in every single job interview I've had since applying at SUBWAY as a teenager, and I'm always reluctant to answer because I tend to focus on the present. To quote someone I have a lot of respect for, "if you focus too far in front of you, you won't see the shiny thing in the corner of your eye". More than that, I believe flexibility and agility are key in our industry. Being in a business that grew at rocket-speed in six years, I think it's impossible to project the next three years. I inherently believe in our power to innovate and stay on top of the entire programmatic ecosystem as the industry's most forward-thinking buyer, and I hope I'm still constructively disrupting the industry as part of Sociomantic three years from now.
Tell us one thing people at work don't know about you?
I'm a huge Metallica fan. It went so far that I earned most of my money during my time in university by playing guitar in a Metallica tribute band. That's something very few people at work know about me. However, I'm sure no one knows that I was also a very active member in the official Metallica online forum. Again, this went so far that I managed to start a thread, which garnered so many replies that Metallica posted a video name-checking me (or my forum name, Dead Kennedy Roll) specifically! I was 14 or 15 at the time, and nearly fainted when I watched the video the following morning.

FIPEC Heat Release Rate Instrumentation
IEC 60332-3; EN 50399
The European Commission and The European Cable Industry (EUROPACABLE) are currently finalising Classification Systems for electric cables for use in support of the Construction Products Directive (CPD) throughout Europe. The Classification utilises the results obtained from traditional IEC 60332-3 test equipment fitted with heat and smoke release measurement instrumentation.
The measurement technique was developed as part of the recently concluded 3 year FIPEC (Fire Performance of Electric Cables) project, which was carried out by the 4 laboratories: SP (Sweden), ISSeP (Belgium), CESI (Italy) and Interscience (UK). FTT director Stephen Grayson managed this project and FTT's Andrew Green was seconded to Interscience for its duration. Andrew's contribution included instrument commissioning, software and data base development and maintenance.
Heat release rate is calculated by continuous measurement of the oxygen being consumed in the combustion process. Combustion products are sampled from the exhaust duct of the IEC 60332-3 chamber and used to determine the level of oxygen depletion. Additional measurements of mass flow rates and smoke temperatures are taken and used to calculate the heat release rates. Smoke release rates are similarly calculated from optical measurements and mass flow in the duct. Other combustion products can also be conveniently measured in the same process by use of appropriate analysers.
Conversion of existing IEC 60332-3 rigs is conveniently effected by fitting a small instrumented section of ducting into the exhaust system of the rig. The section houses all gas sampling, temperature and mass flow probes needed, and the smoke measuring system.

Summary and Keywords
Established in 2003, the Frente Parlamentar Evangélica no Congresso Nacional (National Evangelical Front in the National Congress) unites evangelical members of the Brazilian National Congress to pursue political agendas informed by their shared religious beliefs, as opposed to traditional party affiliation or political coalition. The rise in power and influence of the Evangelical Caucus is related to the transformation of Brazilian society from centuries of Catholic dominance to an early 21st century where around one-quarter of the population identifies as evangelical. Even though this group is known for its heterogeneity, as the Evangelical Caucus continues to increase in numbers and influence, the group may be able to better influence policymaking related to morality politics and views shared among evangelical Christian voters.

Q: Swipe Table Cells overlapping cell content on swipe motion I'm using MGSwipeTableCell in swift, but have tried multiple other libraries, all resulting in the same problem.
Basically, I set up a custom cell class, of the type MGSwipeTableCell. I add some labels, etc, and this all works well. See code below for Cell Class Code.
import UIKit
import BTLabel
import MGSwipeTableCell

class MessageCell: MGSwipeTableCell {

let name = UILabel()
let contactTime = BTLabel()
let lineSeperator = UIView()

override init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
    super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)

}

required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    super.init(coder: aDecoder)!
}

override func layoutSubviews() {

    super.layoutSubviews()

    self.backgroundColor = Styles().heyGreen()
    self.selectionStyle = .None

    name.frame = CGRectMake(self.bounds.width/10, self.bounds.height/5, self.bounds.width/10*7, self.bounds.height/10*5)
    name.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    name.font = Styles().FontBold(30)
    name.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    name.textAlignment = .Left
    self.addSubview(name)

    contactTime.frame = CGRectMake(self.bounds.width/10, self.bounds.height/10*7, self.bounds.width/10*7, self.bounds.height/10*2)
    contactTime.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    contactTime.font = Styles().FontBold(15)
    contactTime.textColor = Styles().heySelectedOverLay()
    contactTime.verticalAlignment = .Top
    contactTime.textAlignment = .Left
        self.addSubview(contactTime)

        lineSeperator.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.bounds.height - 1, self.bounds.width, 1)
        lineSeperator.backgroundColor = Styles().heySelectedOverLay()
        self.addSubview(lineSeperator)
    }

}

The cellForRowMethod is as follows in my tableviewcontroller.
    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cellIdendifier: String = "MessageCell"

    var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(cellIdendifier) as! MessageCell!
    if cell == nil {
   tableView.registerClass(MessageCell.classForCoder(), forCellReuseIdentifier: cellIdendifier)

        cell = MessageCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Default, reuseIdentifier: cellIdendifier)
    }

    cell.name.text = "heysup"
    cell.contactTime.text = "100 days"

    cell.delegate = self //optional

    //configure left buttons
    cell.leftButtons = [MGSwipeButton(title: "", icon: UIImage(named:"check.png"), backgroundColor: UIColor.greenColor())
        ,MGSwipeButton(title: "", icon: UIImage(named:"fav.png"), backgroundColor: UIColor.blueColor())]
    cell.leftSwipeSettings.transition = MGSwipeTransition.Rotate3D

    //configure right buttons
    cell.rightButtons = [MGSwipeButton(title: "Delete", backgroundColor: UIColor.redColor())
        ,MGSwipeButton(title: "More",backgroundColor: UIColor.lightGrayColor())]
    cell.rightSwipeSettings.transition = MGSwipeTransition.Rotate3D

    return cell
}

The problem lies in that this is how it looks when i swipe across.

I'm not sure where it's going wrong or what it's doing. I'm also not sure if it's because i'm adding the labels to the wrong layer? I remember in obj-c you used to add things to the cell view or something to that effect...
Any advice?

A: I actually resolved this issue - i needed to add the labels to the contentView, not the actual view.
so the code should have been
self.contentView.addSubview(name)

for example, on the custom tableviewcell

Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition 9370 review
A truly top-notch Linux laptop…
By Paul O'Brien 2018-03-26T10:00:13.84Z Laptops and netbooks
1. Introduction, design and specifications
2. Usage, performance and verdict
It barely seems possible but Dell has made its flagship laptop even better by reducing the size and weight, bumping up the processor and packing in a 4K screen. No other Linux laptop compares.
Fantastically portable
Excellent performance levels
Class-leading 4K display
Comfortable keyboard
Disappointing webcam
No USB-A ports
Touchscreen model is susceptible to glare
At first glance you could definitely be forgiven for thinking that the new XPS 13 Developer Edition, carrying the '9730' moniker, is actually the last generation XPS 13. Or the one before. Or the one before that even.
This is because Dell has consistently chosen evolution and not revolution for its top-of-the-range small laptop, focusing mostly on keeping the internals bang up to date while sticking with a tried and tested design.
Read more: Dell XPS 13 (2017)
When the original XPS 13 debuted in early 2015, it broke new ground with its tiny bezels (squeezing a 13.3-inch screen into the body of a much smaller device), but three years on, the competition hasn't stood still. So is the XPS 13 still the best laptop of this size?
Despite the design continuity with its predecessor, avid Dell watchers will be able to spot changes in the 9370 compared to the 9360 range. The new laptop actually brings in a number of design elements from the 9365 2-in-1, shrinking in size and eschewing USB-A ports in favor of USB-C (Thunderbolt).
The finish and shade of silver on the lid are tweaked, but overall the design remains one that successfully combines both an understated business attitude and a 'look at me' wow factor courtesy of those now even thinner screen bezels.
Should you choose the top spec Windows model you also have the option of a rose gold lid with 'alpine white' internals, but this isn't available for the Linux-based Developer Edition notebook. We have tried the white laptop and although it certainly looks different, we found the lighter colored screen bezels a little distracting and the new deck surface (designed to prevent discoloring) less comfortable when resting our hands on it.
The drop in size and weight for the latest laptop represents a 24% reduction in volume and it's certainly a noticeable improvement (not that the 9360 was large to begin with). This is partly achievable due to a reduction in the size of the battery, which drops from 60WHr to 52WHr, although due to increased efficiencies elsewhere this doesn't necessarily equate to a drop in battery life. Aside from the loss of the USB-A ports, the other significant space-saving change is the inclusion of a microSD rather than full SD slot.
When laptops thin down one of the first things to suffer is often the keyboard. Thankfully, that's not the case here. The keyboard mechanism is new, and if you've used a previous generation XPS 13 extensively you will spot the change, but thankfully it is just 'different' – it's neither better nor worse, and still remains a great keyboard to type on.
It's infinitely better than what you'll find on a MacBook for example. We were somewhat disappointed that the Windows key remains on the Linux edition – come on Dell, can it be that difficult to print a different key cap? Might I suggest a penguin?
The layout of the XPS 13 has remained fairly consistent throughout its life and we're pleased to see that there are only a couple of changes this time round. The love it or likely hate it camera remains below the screen, but now it's in the center, for slightly better aligned up-nose shots. The camera has IR support for Windows Hello login, but this, of course, isn't an awful lot of use in Linux.
The power button remains in the same position rather than being on the side like the 2-in-1 which is a relief. On Windows models the power button is also a fingerprint reader, but this functionality is dropped with the Ubuntu-based models.
Charging on the laptop is now available only via USB-C – there's no conventional barrel port. A compact charger is included in the box, and given there are three ports the charger can be used with, we think this is a positive step. As an added bonus, if you're using other USB-C equipped devices such as your mobile phone, the laptop charger will work just great for that too, with support for the USB-PD power delivery specification.
Here is the Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition 9370 configuration sent to TechRadar Pro for review:

The 9360 generation of XPS was slightly confusing as it received a mid-life refresh without a model number increment. Earlier devices featured Intel's 7th-generation processors while later devices received the 8th-generation Kaby Lake R CPUs. The Developer Edition also features the 8th-gen i7-8550U chip, which brings quad-core power to the U chips for the first time.
The already excellent display also gets a bump from QHD+ to 4K resolution (a Full HD option remains). The top spec screen is simply stunning – as well as the higher resolution it has a better contrast ratio, is brighter and has better viewing angles. It's simply the best screen you'll find on a laptop of this size. Touch support is included, which does mean a glossy finish, albeit with a glare reduction coating – we'd love to see a matte, non-touch 4K option to further minimize glare without reducing the resolution.
The Developer Edition spec gets you 8GB or 16GB RAM, a 256GB, 512GB or 1TB PCIe SSD, 'Killer 1435' 802.11ac 2x2 Wi-Fi, along with a pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports with PowerShare, DC-In and DisplayPort. You also get one USB-C 3.1 port with PowerShare, the aforementioned microSD slot and a good old 3.5mm headphone jack.
You can opt for a Full HD non-touchscreen or 4K touchscreen display. You're not likely to be wanting for anything, although it should be noted that graphics are integrated and provided by the Intel UHD 620 chipset – powerful though the XPS is, it won't make a good gaming machine.
As for the price, our review model commands an asking price of £1,599 (around $2,250).

Amazon Prime Day deals 2019: what's still on sale the after Prime Day


I don't think the reality of the day really hit us until very early the morning of the wedding, as we quietly sat on the edge of the bed in our hotel drinking our morning coffee, I will never forget that calm before the storm.
After getting her hair done and sneaking back into the hotel, Nikki hit the deck when Andrew looked up to the second floor in the hotel lobby and almost saw her, after which point Andrew was confined to his hotel room.
How surreal the whole day felt, when the limo pulled up and Nikki got out to walk down the aisle, the sheer excitement we felt knowing we were about to be married.
Andrew's surprise dip kiss at the end of the ceremony. Our first dance as husband and wife. The choreographed salsa dance Andrew and Nikki performed to kick off the party, proceeding to dance until we were kicked off the vineyard property, and of course the after party.
Laura @ Every Last Detail – ensured I had not a single worry all day. Laura ran with my very scatterbrained summation of the wedding day and made sure it ran perfectly according to plan without us worrying at all!
Erick and David @ Dynamic Sound Entertainment – We clearly were not prepared for our meeting and they were perfect for guiding us and knowing what we were trying to say. They did a phenomenal job, when asked what music they should play we pretty much said 90s and Salsa and they really got the party started!
Hendrick @ Hendrick Moy Photography – He was amazing, plain and simple. Really, the photos speak for themselves, we could not be happier than we are that we chose Hendrick to capture our big day.

Hi Congratulations! your wedding pics do look amazing and they capture the feeling I want to show on my wedding day. I'm thinking about hosting my wedding at Alba, but I'm having a difficult time finding a nice hotel in the area for our guests to stay. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Q: How to read named pipe(FIFO) that in linux using java I have a problem, where I have to read streaming data from a pipe, to which an application written in C writes data. another application written in java has to read from this linux pipe. This java program is a multi threaded program, to read data from that pipe when other program write data into it. And it should be continuously reading from pipe, as data being added to pipe queue. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Problem trying to solve is:
Currently one application(in C) creates files real-time continuously to a directory , and another application(in java) read and process those files. in this approach there is some time delay because of writing and reading from files from different directories, Hoping using Linux pipe could help to reduce that time delay. Is there any other better approach to handle continuous large volumes of data?
I googled for some sample examples for this to read fifo using multi-thread java program. I could not find any suitable examples, Please share if you come across any of such.

A: If you create a FIFO file, you will not actually write to disk, it will just be a file in the filesystem to make it easier to access. You can read up on it on the man pages of fifo(7) (man 7 fifo) for information about FIFOs and mkfifo(1) (man 1 mkfifo) for a command to make them in C.

Hitler, A Serial Killer & Bankruptcy: The Fascinating Tale Behind The UK's Smoke Control Areas
December 5, 2020 December 5, 2020 mrsootuk Leave a comment
Many towns and cities in the UK are now Smoke Control Areas – but very few people realise they came about partly because of Adolf Hitler!
This fascinating tale starts just after World War II. The UK, heavily debt-ridden after seeing off the scourge of Nazism, was having to export like crazy in order to pay off the £21 billion we owed.
At that time, we were still major producers of solid fuel. It's hard to believe now, but in 1950, there were 901 colleries in the UK, employing over half a million men.
However, much of the better grade coal they were mining, such as the naturally occuring smokeless fuel anthractite, wasn't going to homes in the Uk – it was exported to the USA, our largest creditor.
As a result, British people were left with lower grade, more polluting, brown coal.
This was the stuff which people cooked on and used to heat their homes, usually on open fires and hob grates.
Air quality in our towns and cities was naturally poor as chimneys, domestic and industrial, belched day and night. It wasn't a luxury back then to have a real fireplace, it was a cold, hard necessity.
However, there would be a price to pay for our need to export better grade coal, and it came to head on December 5, 1952.
This was the day when our capital city woke up to a dense thick fog. Poor air quality combined with unusually cold weather and windless conditions, resulted in a heavy smog which had settled over London.
These 'pea soupers' were not unusual, but what marked this one out was the length of time it took to shift – five whole days. During that time, public transport was grounded, apart from the Tube service.
Outdoor sporting events were cancelled and visibility was reduced to just a few metres.
People started becoming ill. Panic started to set in. Criminals, however, used it to their advantage with one man, John Reginald Christie, posing as a quack doctor to murder women.
Christie killed at least seven by luring them back to his Notting Hill flat by telling his victims he had a homemade cure for bronchitis.
He tricked them into inhaling coal gas until they passed out. At that point he raped and strangled them. He buried two in the garden and stashed several more in a papered-over kitchen alcove.
He was eventually caught and hanged the following year.
However, a much wider death toll was racking up as The Great Smog of London made its way into the lungs of local people.
Hospital admissions soared and record numbers of cardio respiratory diseases were reported.
The final death toll was estimated at over 6,000, although research in later years believe the knock on effects to be closer to 12,000.
Political pressure meant that changed was now needed. This manifested itself in the Clean Air Act 1956, which brought in Smoke Control Areas. People were encouraged to burn smokeless fuels or convert to gas.
If you lived in a Smoke Control Area, you were banned from burning housecoal or wood.
The era of solid fuel as a main source of heating and cooking was coming to an end.
Fast forward over half a century and Smoke Control Areas still exist but knowledge about them is patchy. It's also slightly confusing for some as you are now allowed to burn wood in a smoke control area, provided it is on a Defra-exempt appliance (which of course never existed when SCAs first came about).
However, the push for better air continues with the government announcing that by February 2021, sale of bagged housecoal will be phased out. Sales of loose housecoal will follow by 2023. The will also be some restrictions on the sale of unseasoned wood coming in 2021.
But what has also changed since the 1950s is that more and more people are now using stoves and woodburners.
These require more knowledge in terms of correct operation.
Good fuel on a well installed appliance can still cause issues if burnt in the wrong way.
That's why initiatives such as the sweeps-led Burnright campaign continues to be very important. We are able to give people advice and guidance in a way most sweeps would never have dreamt was necessary in the 1950s.
So 'pea soupers ' may be thankfully a thing of the past.
But we all still have a part to play in ensuring the air we breathe is as clean as possible.

Q: electron+figwheel on Mac causes websocket connection error Background
I am trying to integrate figwheel with electron(atom-shell). I use
lein new figwheel hello-world -- --reagent
to generate figwheel part, and copied the electron part from electron quick start. The resulting project is here.
Question
Run the project by:

*

*Open a terminal and start figwheel lein figwheel

*Open another terminal, start Electron by electron ..

However it fails on Mac. The electron part shows the following log:
[5848:0720/220633:INFO:CONSOLE(62)] "WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:3449/figwheel-ws/dev' failed: Connection closed before receiving a handshake response", source: file:///Users/foo/repos/cljs-douban/resources/public/js/compiled/out/figwheel/client/socket.js (62)
[5848:0720/220635:INFO:CONSOLE(82)] "Figwheel: trying to open cljs reload socket", source: file:///Users/foo/repos/cljs-douban/resources/public/js/compiled/out/figwheel/client/utils.js (82)

However, the same project works on Linux. Googled and no correct result, Please kindly help.

A: After googled for 'MAC websocket connection error', I got a similar problem here.
And it is the proxy I set screwed 'localhost', which causes connection error. Disable the proxy fixed the issue. Sorry for any inconvenience.


In a bold move, Samhain Publishing announced the purchase of Linden Bay Romance. In light of the downward spiral of the economy and the rapid consolidation of many of the larger publishers, Samhain Publishing has seized their chance to expand their market share by creating a new fiction line under the popular Samhain brand.
"From the beginning one of my goals was to create multiple lines within Samhain," says Christina Brashear, owner of Samhain Publishing. "With Linden Bay Romance's excellent reputation, I made the offer in the hopes the owners would see this sale as a mutual benefit to both houses."
"We hadn't considered selling Linden Bay and we were slowly making inroads with regards to increasing print distribution, but we've found, especially in light of the economy, neither sales teams nor buyers are very open to taking a chance on something new," says Lori James, part owner of Linden Bay Romance. "Samhain Publishing has the relationships in place that would take us years to develop." James continues, "The offer came at a time when we realized under the Samhain umbrella, Linden Bay Romance will be stronger and reach its full potential faster."
"For Samhain, it is a win-win situation," says Brashear. "We will expand our lines with an established name in the electronic book industry and we'll acquire an excellent stable of authors, editors and artists."
Samhain Publishing opened its doors on November 1, 2005 and already they've made a splash in the publishing world. From Publisher's Weekly features to dozens of fiction and cover art awards, this publisher is one to watch.
But I can't see how it's a bad thing for them. Whether it's a good thing for we Samhain authors, I have no idea. If we have to compete for slots with them, then no. Crissy Brashear indicates we won't, but who knows?
I expect the Linden Bay team want to concentrate on their other enterprise, All Romance E books. Bigger profits there.


ReGeneration constitutes the ideal opportunity for graduates to make a promising professional start.
ReGeneration is the proof that Greece has many talented young individuals that, when they find the right opportunity, can reveal their potential.
ReGeneration offered me great training opportunities, networking with people who inspired me, and the chance to join a highly dynamic work environment, with motivation for professional and personal development.
ReGeneration is an important starting point for connecting people with common goals, the search for new challenges and opportunities, and maximizing results through collaboration and teamwork. Because the success of an organization comes from the growth of its people!
ReGeneration constitutes a lifetime opportunity for all young people, affirming that young people with knowledge, dreams and values, can have a noteworthy future at companies with values and vision, such as Leroy Merlin. Through this program, I was given the opportunity to join the wonderful team of Leroy Merlin in Thessaloniki and make my dreams come true!
We collaborated with ReGeneration for a purpose - to create the next generation workforce! For us, in any collaboration, it is people who make the difference. When people possess passion and vision for the work they do, they also give us an incentive to continue investing in this collaboration! A great "bravo" to the ReGeneration team!
Besides of the company's provided programs, I took advantage of my participation in ReGeneration's training seminars, which helped me to acquire and develop skills such as being creative and giving valuable feedback.
The particularly demanding and holistic process of evaluation of ReGenerators has ensured us that the level of candidates we had to choose from was notably high.
ReGeneration is a program built from people who listen to the professional and personal growth concerns of the young people it addresses, along with the needs and trends of the market.
Through our participation in the program, we hired young colleagues with good educational level and a scientific background. Colleagues with great characters, desire, and appetite to work and be tested in various aspects of their role.
In comparison to the difficulties that exist in the Greek market in order to find employment, ReGeneration has given me the chance to work with companies I always wanted, along with others I never knew I wanted, to find the confidence I needed and the ability to choose that which suited me best.
Up to now, we have hired four interns through the program, of which three have continued to work with us after completing the initial 6-month program, with two of them on the way for a promotion.
I would like to say a big "thank you" to ReGeneration, because it gave me the chance to work for a company such as Vodafone Greece, the best of the many options I had to choose from.
For us, ReGeneration, along with VF Discoverers, constitute important members of the Vodafone family, successfully importing new values and a new culture in the company, elements which are necessary for the existence of the innovation we seek and desire.
ReGeneration believed in my capabilities and brought me in contact with TITAN Group, who, through substantive, on-the-job training, used my scientific knowledge, helped me develop my skills and ensured a smooth transition from theory to practice.
We continue to support ReGeneration from its first cycle because we know that between its finalists we will find the talent and skills, the innovative ideas, and the desire for change that dynamic and competitive companies need.
ReGeneration helped me reevaluate the way I saw myself, highlight my potential, and made it possible for me to follow my dreams.
ReGeneration challenges youth unemployment and especially for us bridges Italy and Greece with a great collaboration, upskilling youth graduates with new opportunities and endeavor a limitless career at the business field.
ReGeneration acts as a springboard for the introduction of young people in the Greek job market, by offering them new opportunities and prospects for professional growth in a dynamic work environment.
ReGeneration is the proof that Greek brains have yet to become drained. There are many notable, talented people who opted out of working abroad. The program offers them the chance to stay and utilize their talent in the Greek job arena, by practicing their fresh ideas and their expertise. We are proud to be a part of this initiative.
In such a dynamic and often nepotistic environment, ReGeneration urged me to believe in my skills, to prove to myself who I am, and to set fundamental values, both as a professional and as a person, by making a powerful start in Forthnet Group. To be a ReGenerator is a great opportunity.
ReGeneration is helping young graduates by focusing on the quality of their studies and their volunteer work in many areas of our society, thus providing the business world with noteworthy and professional people.

Georgetown Law School Prof to Present 'Risk and the Law' Lecture at UA School of Law
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Lisa Heinzerling of the Georgetown Law Center will deliver The University of Alabama School of Law's first "Risk and the Law" lecture on Tuesday, Oct. 12, in the law school's Moot Courtroom. The lecture will begin at 11 a.m. and is open to the public.
Heinzerling received her bachelor's degree from Princeton University in 1983 and her law degree from the University of Chicago Law School in 1987. During law school, she served as editor-in-chief of the University of Chicago Law Review. She clerked for Judge Richard Posner of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and then for Justice William Brennan of the U.S. Supreme Court. For three years, she practiced environmental law in the Massachusetts Attorney General's office.
Heinzerling serves as vice president of the Center for Progressive Regulation, a think tank regarding issues related to the regulation of health, safety, and the environment. She also has been a visiting professor at the Harvard and Yale Law schools. She is a co-author of Priceless: On Knowing the Price of Everything and the Value of Nothing (with Frank Ackerman, The New Press, 2004).
The "Risk and the Law" lecture series will bring the nation's leading experts in the field to the UA School of Law to discuss various aspects of risk assessment and management. In spring 2005, Jonathan Simon of the University of California at Berkeley and Cass Sunstein of the University of Chicago Law School will deliver the lecture. The series is part of the Daniel J. Meador Lecture Series, which was established in 1994 to honor the UA law school's former professor and dean.

Research led by UA will study whether more irrigation-fed farms in the Deep South could lead to a more robust agriculture industry. With a four-year, $1.75 million grant from the National Science Foundation, UA researchers will examine how a transition from rain-fed farming to irrigation-fed farming could affect harvests and water use.

I'll wake up in the morning, and intend on eating a bowl of weetabix, a bowl of weetabix turns in to three weetabix, two slices of toast, a cheese string and a bag of crisps.
I'll have a break at school and intend on having a slice of toast, this turns in to two slices of toast, a ham melt and a milkshake.
At lunch I will have no money left as I only take what I think I'll need so I will have a homemade sandwich, my friends crips that she doesn't want , a cookie and a sprite.
When I come home I am supported to wait for my mum to get home to make me some dinner but I end up having a chess toastie, another bag of crisp and a toaster strudel.
That day I won't think of my eating habits, but the next day or the next week, I'll think of what I have been eating. I will tell myself I'm going to stop, but as soon as I've said that I'll get a bag of crisps and other food that I know I shouldn't eat. It's like I'm not doing it. It is like someone else is feeding me whilst I sit there screaming don't do it. But I still do.
And for the life of me I can't think why I do it.
Why don't I stop myself?
The thing is... I can't!

A study conducted by Solidarity's Helping Hand revealed that most beggars would like to work, but do not have the necessary education.
About 78% of beggars interviewed said they would like to work and 19% said they had not worked before. The study conducted in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape was of perceptions and the reality of the lives of beggars.
Field workers interviewed beggars in November and December 2012. Solidarity researcher Nicolien Welthagen said public comments on the union's Facebook page showed that people believed beggars did not want to work.
"Many people wrote that they had offered beggars work, but that they had not wanted to do demeaning work," said Welthagen.
"Furthermore, one or two of the beggars who did accept work had quit almost immediately, sometimes within a few days, and had started begging again."
Almost 60% of the beggars had not passed matric. A small group of 6.6% claimed they possessed a diploma and 13% said they had some form of a certificate. Most of the beggars (57%) indicated that they were not married.
A third (31%) were married and 12% were divorced. There were also couples (33%) who begged together even though they were not married. Most beggars (83%) did not receive an allowance or any assistance from welfare or other organisations.
More than 60% belonged to a church. About half (51%) said they did not have any children, while a third (32%) had one child. Only 4% received a children's allowance and 94% of female beggars with children did not receive any allowance.
Most of the beggars indicated they had been begging for less than a year, while approximately 12% had been begging for more than 10 years.
Welthagen said the public believed that beggars were not interested in the work offered to them "because they can earn much more on the streets".

Send Flowers for Walter
Walter V. Stano
April 19, 1927 ~ March 2, 2021 (age 93)
HERMITAGE-Walter V Stano, 93, passed away peacefully on Tuesday March 2, 2021 in St. John XXIII Home, Hermitage.
Walter was born on April 19, 1927 in Sharon to Joseph and Susan Milan Stano. He was a lifelong resident of the Shenango Valley and made his home with his wife Rose on the family's Hermitage farm.
Walter attended Hickory High School then served in the US Merchant Marines during the latter part of WWII and for several years after. He was a carpenter and house builder for over 45 years retiring in 1992. He was a member of the Holy Lutheran Church in Hermitage.
Walter's greatest joy was spending time with his wife Rose and his family. He lived to work and loved his carpenter shop. He enjoyed reading and birdwatching anxiously waiting each year for the first sighting of his beloved blue birds.
Walter is survived by his wife Rose (Bronich) whom he married on June 14, 1952; a son Michael and his wife Donna Dewey of Denver, Colorado; a daughter Sally Hale and her husband Stanley of Hermitage; two sisters Eleanor Sussdorf of Barnstable Village, MA and Ellen Smith of Bethesda, MD; a brother Bob and his wife Marilyn of Donnelly, Idaho; and his beloved nieces and nephews. Walter was especially close to his niece Claudia Sussdorf whose love and devotion to our family will never be forgotten. His most cherished memories were those with Claudia, her twin Wendy, her sister Ellen and their mother Eleanor and our family spending late summer days at the farm picking blackberries, baling hay, wagon rides and horseback riding at the stables in Mercer.
In addition to his parents, Walter is preceded in death by two sisters, Bessie and Helen and two brothers, Joseph and William.
The Family would like to sincerely thank Linny, Laurie and the entire Staff of St John XXIII Home for their love and care of our Dad. We would also like to thank special friend Shirley Crook who made it possible for Dad to live at home as long as he could.
A private internment has taken place at America's Cemetery in Hermitage. Arrangements are being handled by the Sample-O'Donnell Funeral Home 555 East State St. in Sharon, Pennsylvania.

Find funds that won't have you paying more to the IRS.
Mutual funds can be relatively easy investments to buy and sell, but when it comes to the taxman, it seems nothing is ever simple. For a taxable account, each time you sell shares in a mutual fund, whether by redeeming, exchanging, or writing a check, you create a taxable event. That means, come tax time, you'll need to report any gain or loss from these transactions.
Reinvested dividends or capital gains distributions are also considered mutual fund share purchases, and you should keep records of these as well.
As the end of the year approaches, many funds will provide an indication of the size of their year-end taxable payouts. If the payout will be large, it might be small-f foolish to invest and take the tax hit. For many funds, history tends to repeat itself; beware of funds that have experienced high taxable payouts in the past, since they stand a good chance of a future payout. Also, take a look at the fund's annual and semiannual reports to see whether it has any unrealized or undistributed line items. If these categories are large, then the fund may soon make a payout to investors, further increasing their tax liability.
An overall portfolio strategy would be to put income securities into your retirement fund and growth equities in your taxable account. Funds that frequently make distributions are generally more suitable for a tax-deferred account, such as an IRA or 401(k). If you want fixed income for a taxable account, consider buying municipal bond funds instead of government security funds, since munis can be exempt from state, county, and even city taxes.
Many mutual fund companies offer tax-managed funds that use various strategies to minimize distributions. On the low-fee side, Vanguard offers the Tax Managed Capital Appreciation Fund (FUND: VMCAX), which has a return so far this year of just less than 9.6%. The fund has a 0.14% expense ratio and a $10,000 minimum, along with a 1% redemption fee. American Century Capital Value (ACTIX) has a higher 1.10% expense ratio, but a lower $2,500 minimum, and a return so far this year of slightly more than 13.53%.
For the most part, tax-managed funds should avoid short-term gains and stocks that pay dividends. Also look for funds with low turnover rates. The less a fund trades, the lower your tax hit from that fund will be. Index funds are often low-turnover funds, since many don't realize capital gains as often as actively managed funds.
Even though there are many funds with "tax-managed" or something similar in their names, a fund doesn't have to carry that moniker in order to be tax-friendly to investors. ETFs can be very effective for delaying taxes, especially if you're a long-term investor. Their tax hit will most likely occur only when you sell the fund.
Don't get so carried away in the quest to avoid paying taxes that you skip good returns solely for a reduced tax bill. It may seem attractive to eliminate taxes altogether, but for most investors, taxes are inevitable. Manage them Foolishly, not foolishly. Don't just try to lower your tax bill; find a solid, tax-efficient investment strategy as well.

Is Omega-3 Brain Food? Three New Studies Suggest the Answer is YES
by Omega-Quant
When your mom told you to eat your fish because it would make you smarter, she wasn't just sharing an old wives' tale. It turns out that today's science continues to point to new and positive associations between omega-3 and brain health. And while consuming long chain omega-3 EPA and DHA found in fatty fish (and supplements) may not technically make you smarter, the scientific research is digging up brain-related benefits from this nutrient across a variety of brain-related functions.
To sum it up, we're learning that omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are essential nutrients that, among other benefits, help build your brain's structure and regulate its ability to perform.
In this week's blog we'll review three studies published this summer that focus on omega-3 and the brain. Each study focuses on a different area of brain health: brain aging, Alzheimer's disease and depression.
Although not providing definitive answers in these areas, the studies leave us and the scientific community wanting more. As science should.
These studies provide us with a greater impetus for better understanding of how omega-3 benefits the brain. And guess what: the science seems to be showing that, once again, mother knows best.
Omega-3 EPA and DHA May Help Counteract the Effects of Air Pollution on the Brain
Air pollution is a growing problem, which environmentalists say is responsible for as many as five million premature global deaths each year.
When one thinks about the ravages of air pollution, demolition of lung function is likely what first comes to mind. But air pollution may also indirectly damage the brain, says a 2019 study in the scientific journal Brain, which found that exposure to tiny air pollutants, particulate matter with diameters generally 2.5 microns and smaller (PM2.5), may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, related dementias and accelerated memory decline.
That's what makes a new study published this month in Neurology, a journal of the American Academy of Neurology, so relevant for readers of this blog.
VIDEO: What Role Do Omega-3s Play in the Brain?
The researchers noted that omega-3 fatty acids had previously been shown to fight inflammation and maintain brain structure in aging brains. In addition, other research has found the nutrients reduced neurotoxin-related brain damage from lead and mercury. In this study, the authors specifically looked at whether omega-3 fatty acids could have a protective impact against a different and dangerous type of neurotoxin—PM2.5—found in air pollution.
The prospective cohort study was conducted among a subset of women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative Clinical Trials. From this population of 7,000 subjects in the late 1990s, approximately 1400 of those women were included in a subsidiary study known as the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (WHIMS-MRI) trial. The current study drew from the WHIMS population, using stored blood of 1315 dementia-free women, aged 65-80, who lived in areas with widely varying levels of air pollution levels.
It was designed to examine whether long-chain omega-3 fatty acid blood levels could modify the potential neurotoxic effects of PM2.5 exposure on normal-appearing brain volumes.
BLOG: Benefits Outweigh Risks of Eating Fish During Pregnancy
An article in nutraingredients-usa.com, based on an interview with OmegaQuant's Dr. Harris, who is an author of this latest Neurology study, shared that the researchers also sought to correlate the effects of PM2.5 in the study cohort with those subjects' omega-3 blood levels, as measured by the Omega-3 Index from OmegaQuant.
In the interview, Dr. Harris explained that using data from the original hormone therapy study was a creative way to look at this particular issue. He told the reporter, "I was very surprised to hear about the protective effect of omega-3s in this area" and although it was unclear as to how the nutrients worked protectively, Dr. Harris presumed it might be from some sort of anti-inflammatory effect.
The study authors advised more research should be conducted to determine whether these results could be generalized to the wider population.
New Alzheimer's Study Finds Using the Proper Dose of Omega-3 is Key to Finding Benefit from the Nutrient
In order for omega-3 fatty acids to benefit the brain, they have to find a way to get into the brain. Another study examined this question in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. AD is a form of dementia and a brain-crippling disease that leaves family and friends of patients to watch helplessly as their loved ones disappear into an fog of severe memory loss, erratic behaviors and isolation. Around 5.7 million Americans have AD, and about 50 million people worldwide have some form of dementia. There is no known cure.
Animal models and observational studies of omega-3 EPA and DHA have shown an association between higher levels of these fatty acids and lower incidence of AD and dementia. To date, clinical trials testing the direct effects of omega-3 supplementation on AD have by and large come up with disappointing results. Why?
Now researchers at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC), in announcing results of a pilot study, think they may understand why. It could be the dose.
Why Does Dose Matter?
Here's something to consider: The USC study used a daily dose over 2 grams of DHA, a dose which far exceeded what has typically been used in previous clinical trials testing the preventive power of omega-3s, which is typically 1 gram or less daily. And with the higher dose, they saw some positive results.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Although a previous study tested the effects of high doses of omega-3 on blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF, the fluid that bathes the brain) in patients with AD, USC's clinical trial was the first to examine this question in people without AD.
The study population consisted of 33 participants from Los Angeles—men and women aged 55 and older—who, although not being cognitively impaired themselves, had a family history of the disease. Typically American, they had generally sedentary lifestyles and they ate little to no fatty fish. None had taken omega-3 fatty acid capsules for at least three months prior to the study.
Approximately half of the group (15 people) carried a gene variant known as APOE4, which is linked to inflammation in the brain and is a known factor for increasing AD risk by a factor of four or more. This will become important later on.
BLOG: New Research Offers Positive Outlook for Omega-3s & Bipolar Disorder
Participants were randomly assigned to either the treatment group or the control group. Those in the treatment group were required to take omega-3 supplements containing 2,152 mg of DHA for 6 months and were also provided instruction to otherwise limit their polyunsaturated fatty acid intake. The control group was instructed to take similarly looking placebo capsules which contained corn/soy oil. Both groups were instructed to take daily vitamin B complex supplements which help the body process omega-3s. Compliance was assessed for both groups by pill counting.
All participants were seen three times: at screening, baseline and 6 months (end of study). The researchers were looking for changes in plasma and CSF levels of DHA and EPA and how these correlated with APOE status (E4 or not) and CSF levels of a biomarker of brain amyloid deposition (A-beta-42). Cognitive function tests were also given.
What did they find? They found that using an appropriate dose is crucial.
More About the Results
At the study's conclusion, the treatment group had a 200 percent increase in their blood plasma DHA levels compared with the placebo group, but the DHA in the CSF went up by only 28 percent. But that 28% increase was better than that previously reported with lower DHA doses.
In both the plasma and CSF measurements, the percentage increase for DHA for those who did not carry a copy of the APOE4 gene (which is the case for about 75% of Americans) tended to be higher than for those who were carriers.
Further, those in the treatment group who did not carry the APOE4 gene variant showed an increase of EPA in their CSF, which was three times greater than that seen in the APOE4 carriers. (Recall that only DHA was supplemented, not EPA. This finding implies that DHA can, to some extent, raise both DHA and EPA levels in the body).
Remember, this study used a dose of over 2 grams of DHA daily versus many previous clinical trials that administered 1 gram or less daily.
Here Are the Key Takeaways
The study authors believe these results hint that omega-3 levels in the blood may not indicate how much EPA and DHA is reaching the brain. That's to be expected because of the blood-brain barrier, which carefully protects the brain by letting only certain compounds in from the blood), could potential make it harder for some nutrients to reach the brain. Therefore, future research should strongly consider whether a dose of 2 grams daily of omega-3 is enough to find benefit for a disease like AD or whether even higher doses should be administered
This may be especially true for those who have known risk factors for AD… like carrying the APOE4 gene variant. It appears that these people may be less able to transfer DHA from the blood to the brain than those who don't carry the gene. This further highlights the need for researchers to consider studies with higher doses of omega-3s.
These study results also reinforce the unique relationship of nutrients to an individual—how much of a nutrient one needs, in this case omega-3 fatty acids, is related to your lifestyle, dietary patterns, genetics, ability to absorb nutrients, and more.
What you need depends on how much you already have. And fortunately, a simple blood test like the Omega-3 Index that measures your blood levels of EPA and DHA can be used in research studies (and by individuals) to determine baseline levels and to monitor improvements with supplementation. The goal is to reach the optimal index of 8-12%. This study reinforces the need for researchers to measure omega-3 levels at baseline and at the conclusion of their studies in order to better understand what Omega-3 Index level is associated with the best outcomes
Dr. Harris was not an author on this USC study; however, OmegaQuant conducted the fatty acid analysis for this trial. Upon seeing the results, Dr. Harris believes that "the use of approximately 1 gram daily of omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids in dementia research may be too low a dose to raise brain DHA levels, especially in people carrying a APOE4 gene variant. We will likely need to see doses of omega-3s even higher than 2 grams daily to reach the full potential benefit of DHA."
As for the USC researchers, the results of their study were sufficiently intriguing to attract funding for a larger trial for which recruitment is underway. They plan to follow over 300 participants over a two-year period to examine whether high doses of omega-3s can slow cognitive decline in the carriers of the APOE4 gene.
Dr. Hussein Yassine, senior author on the study and associate professor of medicine and neurology at USC's Keck School of Medicine said, "These pilot studies are so important as a step toward much larger, more complicated studies."
"Alzheimer's is a very complex, multi-factorial disease," advised Dr. Harris. "The results of this study may be a key to research unlocking a preventive measure involving omega-3 EPA and DHA, but consumers should not rush to use that key just yet. The role of omega-3 in helping prevent Alzheimer's need further exploration. But the good news is we're now in an era where personalization plays such an important role in health. As a first step for taking omega-3s, it makes sense to find out your Omega-3 Index to determine how much, if any, additional DHA and EPA you need."
New Meta-Analysis on Perinatal Depression Finds Positive Omega-3 Benefits
Moving from "brain-issues" in older people to those affecting younger women, another recent study—this one a meta-analysis—examined the safety and efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids in a different area of brain health—perinatal depression, which is generally defined as onset of a depression episode, ranging from mild to severe, during pregnancy or postpartum within one year after delivery.
After a thorough literature review, researchers from Peking University, Beijing, and other Chinese-based universities and hospitals and research centers, identified eight randomized controlled trials that met their inclusion criteria. These trials together included 638 participants. The studies were all randomized double blind placebo-controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of omega-3 monotherapy in perinatal depression.
The meta-analysis, published online in Translational Psychiatry on June 17th, found a significant effect of omega-3 EPA and DHA on mild-to-moderate perinatal depression when compared to placebo.

Further, the authors found that these nutrients were well-tolerated with low incidence of side effects. In fact, among the included trials reporting adverse effects, there was no significant difference in incidence of gastrointestinal and neurologic events between the omega-3 and placebo groups, they added.
The researchers noted they also evaluated the effects, separately, in the pre- and post-natal periods and found the effects were significant in both, but were more obvious during postpartum time frame.
In the discussion of their study, the authors gave a nod to the importance of DHA, especially during the perinatal period when DHA is transferred from moms to babies for brain development and retina maturation, either through placenta or breastfeeding.
Therefore, they warned, there are higher risks of omega-3 deficiency for mothers without timely and proper supplementation.

The study had several limitations as pointed out by the authors, including the fact that the sample size and number of studies included were relatively small. In addition, they were unable to suggest an appropriate dosage range at which the benefits were found.
The exact mechanism through which omega-3s improved the depressive symptoms in perinatal women remains unclear.
The authors are calling for more studies, specifically high-quality randomized controlled trials with bigger sample sizes to verify their conclusions.

Coverage of the stalemate in Congress that forced the U.S. government to a standstill
National Cathedral Offers Site for "Shutdown" Weddings
Published Oct 4, 2013 at 6:17 AM | Updated at 11:58 AM EDT on Oct 4, 2013
The National Cathedral wants to help couples who had to cancel their weddings because of the government shutdown.
Two dozen couples had planned to marry at memorials on the National Mall this month, but the sites have been closed down. Now Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, is inviting the affected couples to tie the knot at the Bishop's Garden at the cathedral. Budde says the ceremonies will be free and open to all faiths.
In all, about a dozen of those couples had already contacted the National Cathedral by mid-day Friday. Two of those couples will tie the knot at the Cathedral this weekend; another wedding is booked for next weekend.
"The shutdown's impact on people's lives is incalculable, and we're all struggling to find ways to support our neighbors," Bishop Budde said in a press release.
The Bishop's Garden features a large lawn edged by a garden outside the diocesan offices on the grounds of Washington National Cathedral.
The weddings on the National Mal were scheduled with permits in advance, but were postponed indefinitely once the government shutdown went into effect, said National Park Service spokeswoman Carol Johnson.
"It's frustrating that it happened," said Michael Cassesso told Washington's News4. "Everyone wants their wedding to be exactly how they pictured it."
Cassesso and his fiancee, MaiLien Le, were scheduled to get married at the Jefferson Memorial on Sunday. But they probably won't take Bishop Budde up on her offer.
Late-night host and apparently ordained minister Stephen Colbert married the couple Thursday night on "The Colbert Report."
